1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: Let us pray that the gentiles should be fellow heirs

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: of the same body and partakers of His promise in

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: Christ by the Gospel Ephesians three six. Thank you, Lord

4
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: for making your glorious salvation available to the gentiles, and

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,639
Speaker 1: not just the nation of Israel. You wanted the whole

6
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: world to have the opportunity to know you, not just

7
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: the God of Israel, but the one true living God

8
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: over all people. You showed your sovereignty first through your

9
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: chosen people, but when they rejected you, the gentiles were

10
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 1: given a divine opportunity. You do not want any one

11
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: to perish, and have made all people who accept the

12
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: promise of Christ equal partakers in his inheritance. Your goodness

13
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: is without measure, and your love is unconditional. You are

14
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 1: the power connection to abundant life. Amen. Thank you for

15
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: listening to today's daily prayer. For more inspiration and an

16
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: incredible message from our feature pastor, stay tuned to pray

17
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: dot COM's Sunday service.

18
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 2: What a word from the Lord from Ephesians chapter three.

19
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 2: There's a longing in the heart of the apostle, Paul.

20
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 2: That's just like you got to get this. You got

21
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 2: to get this to know the height and the link

22
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 2: and the width and the depth of God's love.

23
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 3: And that's where we're headed today. My name is Kenny Luck.

24
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 2: I'm one of the pastors here at Cross Line Church,

25
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 2: and I want to welcome everybody watching online, everybody on

26
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 2: our campus.

27
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 3: We're in a series called the Master's Teaching.

28
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 2: Jesus said, teach them to observe all that I commanded you.

29
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 3: He said that to his followers.

30
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 2: But to do that, you have to unpack the Master's

31
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 2: Teaching so that we know what he said, so that

32
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 2: then we can observe or apply or put into practice

33
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 2: what Jesus says.

34
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 3: Now. Isn't that essential Christianity? Right there?

35
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 2: Jesus said, whoever hears these words of mine and puts

36
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 2: them into practice, that person is like a wise man

37
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 2: who built his house on the rock. Do you know

38
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 2: that God this morning wants your life to be solid,

39
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 2: But it's not going to be solid unless you open

40
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 2: your heart, in your ears and your spirit to the

41
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 2: words of Christ himself. And then you seek in your life,

42
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 2: in your context, in your relationships, in your lifestyle and

43
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 2: your flow to apply and observe what he says. Now,

44
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 2: I believe Today's theme from Luke chapter twelve. It strikes

45
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 2: at the very heart of what God wants us to apply,

46
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 2: and it strikes at the very heart of this cultural moment,

47
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 2: you know, this last year. And I'm going to say

48
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 2: words that you're really familiar with right now, of quarantining,

49
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 2: social distancing, distance learning, working from home, shutting down of

50
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 2: gap rings, shutting down of sports, all youth sports, all

51
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 2: professional sports, all social gatherings. I mean, it's almost like

52
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 2: Christmas got almost shut down, and then when you live

53
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 2: on the West Coast, everything gets shut down more.

54
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 3: But anyway, the supply chain lines at the grocery store.

55
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 3: You remember the lines at the grocery store.

56
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 2: Do you remember the panic? Like I bought there was

57
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 2: so little meat in the meat section. I bought a

58
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 2: whole turkey, and like I came home, you know, and

59
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 2: I have like Dino bytes, you know, those the fake

60
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 2: chicken dino bytes that you eat when you're a kid,

61
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 2: you know, and that mothers served to their kids.

62
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 3: You know, it's just I bought all this crazy stuff.

63
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 2: I remember those those lines outside of Trader Joe's, Oh

64
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 2: my gosh, like wrap around the building. But there's a

65
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 2: ripple effect that has happened in every dimension of our

66
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 2: lives that has caused this a little bit of stress

67
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 2: and anxiety. Amen, all right, So I'm glad we're all

68
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 2: on the same page. And while some people might claim

69
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 2: an upside to the pandemic Amazon, the pandemic right magnifies

70
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: every challenge that we already had, right, I mean, life's

71
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 2: hard enough, right, I mean Jesus said, in this world

72
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 2: you'll have tribulation, but take courage. I've overcome the world.

73
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 2: So there's already a baseline of tribulation and stress and

74
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 2: concern over the future and all of those things. Right,

75
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 2: But when this hit, you know, a world event, massive

76
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 2: world event, massive cultural phenomenons, right, political divides, cultural divides,

77
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 2: racial divides, ethnic tension, all this stuff hitting all at

78
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 2: once in the middle of a very isolating, stressful, unusual

79
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 2: time that no one had any context to experience a

80
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 2: little bit of stress with that. And then it's on

81
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 2: our families, It's on our relationships, it's on our education,

82
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 2: it's on you who have to go out and make

83
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 2: a living.

84
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 3: It affected the professional.

85
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 2: Market, and what it did it was like, you know,

86
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 2: how like volcanoes have magma underneath the surface, like it's

87
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 2: just kind of boiling and percolating in there and then

88
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 2: just you know, then the pressure below exceeds the ability

89
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 2: of the surface to keep the pressure down the boom.

90
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: And as a pastor, as a mental health worker before

91
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 2: I was a pastor, man, it all came out. I mean,

92
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 2: there were health concerns and there were physical concerns about

93
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 2: spread and all that stuff. But you know, your pastoral team,

94
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 2: you know what weird you with massive depression, massive anxiety,

95
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 2: massive loneliness and people trying to hold it all together

96
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 2: in the middle of it. Now, can I just say,

97
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 2: as a pastor, with my spiritual glasses on, that.

98
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 3: All those negative.

99
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 2: Emotions that the last year has created, you know who's

100
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 2: really invested in those negative emotions?

101
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 3: Evil?

102
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 2: Because when you're vulnerable and you're walking around with all

103
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 2: this stuff, it's easy to believe things. It's easy to

104
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 2: want to relieve that stress and loneliness. It's easy to

105
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 2: just go, I'm out because you believe things are fatal

106
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 2: and final. Right, And so this is really timely what

107
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 2: we're talking about now. And it's timely that we talk

108
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 2: about anxiety because the Bible talks about anxiety. You know,

109
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 2: if I were to add up all the times the

110
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 2: Bible says don't fear or don't worry, or talks about

111
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 2: the subject of anxiety. We're into almost a thousand passages

112
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 2: of scripture, so it's a big theme, right, And I

113
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 2: want to distinguish right up top, just so that we're

114
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 2: all on the same playing field. There's a difference between

115
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 2: thinking anxiously and living anxiously, all right, And we're talking

116
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 2: in this message from Luke twelve what to do with anxiety.

117
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 3: We're not demonizing anybody.

118
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 2: Who has an anxious thought, because then everybody would get

119
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 2: demonized because we all have anxious thoughts.

120
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 3: Amen. All right, So just so that we're all on

121
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 3: the same page. So here's where we're going.

122
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 2: We're going to define what it is really clearly, and

123
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 2: I think everybody will just go, yep, that's what it is.

124
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 2: And then we're gonna get Jesus' mind on anxiety, and

125
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 2: then we're gonna talk about Jesus's desire when I feel

126
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 2: that way, and then we're gonna talk about what it

127
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 2: means to us personally and as a community of believers

128
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 2: as we reach out to others and to a dark

129
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 2: and watching culture.

130
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 3: All right.

131
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 2: So let's get right into it, Luke, Chapter twelve. We're

132
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 2: gonna break it up into three sections. This is our

133
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 2: only text, Luke twelve. And it's Jesus and he's having

134
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 2: a conversation with the disciples. All right, Then, Jesus said

135
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 2: to his disciples, Therefore, I tell you, do not worry

136
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 2: about your life what you will eat, or about your

137
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 2: body what you will where. For life it's more than food,

138
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 2: and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens, they

139
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 2: do not sow or reap, They have no storeroom or barn,

140
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 2: yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you

141
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 2: are than birds? Who of you by worrying can add

142
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 2: a single hour to your life. Since you cannot do

143
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 2: this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?

144
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 3: Now?

145
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 2: The reason I started with the passage is that I

146
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 2: wanted to let Jesus define sort of what the dynamics

147
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 2: are of worry and anxiety. But I did put a

148
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 2: definition on your notes if you're following. It's a feeling

149
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 2: of worry, nervousness, or unease, typically about an imminent event

150
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 2: or something with uncertain outcomes. Causes of anxiety include big events, trauma,

151
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 2: or life experiences or build ups of smaller stress filled

152
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 2: situation that trigger anxiety. Can we finish that definition together?

153
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 2: Things happening that you cannot control?

154
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 3: Everybody in agreement.

155
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, Because I was talking with our pastoral team as

156
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 2: we were working this message out together, and uh, and

157
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 2: we were sitting there and it just it dawned on

158
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 2: me as we were talking about this that all the

159
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 2: people that come into our offices and and and ask

160
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 2: for counseling and so forth, and they're they're battling anxiety. Well,

161
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 2: they're battling anxiety because they're taking on something.

162
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 3: That doesn't belong to them. You know what it is,

163
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 3: the future? All right.

164
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 2: If you take on the future like it says here, uh,

165
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 2: things happening that you cannot control.

166
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 3: You're gonna experience anxiety.

167
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 2: And I think in that regard, we're all in the

168
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,079
Speaker 2: same boat, and we're all in the same bucket. But

169
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 2: let's unpack Jesus's mind on our anxieties. And the first

170
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 2: thing that we see is that write this down. It's

171
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 2: a human tendency, all right. So you know that's why

172
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 2: we don't shame anybody for feeling anxious, and and and

173
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 2: and and on the spectrum. All right, it's it's a

174
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 2: huge human tendency. You know, when you do a message

175
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 2: on anxiety, you want to you want to figure out

176
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 2: what the smart people say. So you go to UC

177
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 2: Berkeley Department of Neuroscience and you dive into this journal

178
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 2: that's talking about how there's the emotional brain in the

179
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 2: cognitive brain.

180
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 3: You know, those two parts of.

181
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 2: Yourself where there's the emotional side and then there's the

182
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 2: kind of the rational side, and it's actually God has

183
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 2: built our brains to manage anxiety and worry.

184
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 3: We manage that tension.

185
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 2: There's a part of your brain which is the cognitive side,

186
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 2: which is kind of the rational side, and then there's

187
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 2: your I'm gonna I don't even know if I'm saying

188
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 2: this right, just.

189
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 3: You know, it sounds like a leafy vegetable.

190
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 2: You're a migdala maybe because it sounds like arugula. But anyway,

191
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 2: You're amygdala is in the deep part of your brain

192
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 2: and that's your emotional side. And so what's interesting is

193
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 2: that all neuroscientists go, you know what, there's parts of

194
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,199
Speaker 2: your your frontal lobe and your cognitive brain that kind

195
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 2: of can turn down or can turn up what's coming

196
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 2: out of your emotional brain? Right, and and so there's

197
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 2: this battle. But you know how who wins that battle, right,

198
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 2: the emotional brain or the cognitive brain. It kind of

199
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 2: depends on what you're feeding your brain. Okay, It's how

200
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 2: you think, it's how you work. And so when Jesus

201
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 2: is saying, hey, don't worry about your life, okay, he's

202
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 2: he's really just pointing out a human tendency.

203
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 3: Okay.

204
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 2: Secondly, Jesus's mind on our anxieties, it's rooted in scarcity.

205
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 3: It's rooted in scarcity.

206
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 2: Do you notice the contrast here is like, hey, there's

207
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 2: a limited supply stuff out there, and you need that stuff,

208
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 2: and then you're worried about you having enough stuff that

209
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 2: will meet your need. Okay, just think toilet paper during

210
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 2: the pandemic. You know, you walk down every aisle you know,

211
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 2: and there's you know, everything's full, and then you walk down.

212
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 3: A desert in Aisle twelve. It's like, what am I

213
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 3: gonna do?

214
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 2: How?

215
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 3: What are we gonna do?

216
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 2: I knew it should have gone when there were four

217
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 2: rolls left in the garage and the aisle's empty.

218
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 3: But anxiety is rooted in scarcity.

219
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 2: And it's not just the scarcity of food or clothing,

220
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 2: the scarcity of attention. It's a scarcity of approval, it's

221
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 2: a scarcity of visibility, it's a scarcity of jobs.

222
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 3: Anxiety is rooted in scarcity.

223
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 2: I have needs and the culture says there's a limited

224
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 2: supply of that stuff. Well, you better get on it,

225
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 2: you better submit that resume, you better get visible on

226
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 2: social media, you better get to Aisle twelve and get

227
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 2: some toilet paper before it runs out. But it's rooted

228
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 2: in scarcity, all right. Third, Jesus observes that my anxiety,

229
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 2: look at this is misplaced energy. Hello, just think of

230
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 2: all the time and effort and mental energy that we

231
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 2: are spending anxious over the things that culture says are scarce.

232
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 2: And the reason why Jesus can say it, of course,

233
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 2: because he's God, but secondly, because he knows that he

234
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 2: has an unlimited supply of what you need. Culture says

235
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 2: limited supply. Jesus goes, no, Father's Son and Holy Spirit,

236
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 2: we got exactly what you need. You can chill, man,

237
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 2: don't get anxious about that scarcity stuff.

238
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 3: Because I'm bigger.

239
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 2: I'm the one who supplies it all I'm the chief

240
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 2: supply officer of everything.

241
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 3: What a great title, right, Yeah, I'm the chief supply

242
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 3: officer of what everything? That's pretty good.

243
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 2: You should know Jesus by the way, if he's the

244
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 2: chief supply officer of everything?

245
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 3: All right?

246
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 2: Third or fourth, my anxiety's cloud reality. The cloud reality,

247
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 2: and that's where you see this energy. It's just like

248
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 2: Jesus like, don't worry, don't worry about that little stuff.

249
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 3: Right.

250
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 2: The reality is is that you're valuable and you're on

251
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 2: my list and I see you now. Is my timing

252
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 2: always your timing?

253
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: No?

254
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 2: Because usually we want what we want when we want it,

255
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 2: and in the forum that we want it.

256
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 3: Can we have a cup of honesty right now? Okay?

257
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 3: But God's got everything that we want.

258
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 2: But you know, like a loving parent, like a loving father,

259
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 2: like a great coach or mentor, God doesn't give us

260
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 2: exactly what we need, what we want when we want

261
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 2: it in the forum that we want it, because He

262
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 2: is more interested in our insides than our comfort.

263
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 3: Amen.

264
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 2: He wants us to grow. Okay, So Jesus is mine

265
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 2: on our anxieties. It's human tendency, it's rooted in scarcity,

266
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 2: it's misplaced energy, and it clouds the reality of God.

267
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 2: And I want you to see in that first picture

268
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 2: of how Jesus makes a compare in contrast, he says,

269
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 2: you know those black birds that you see all around you,

270
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 2: very common, sometimes annoying, make noises, travel impacts. God takes

271
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 2: care of them. And then he says, this, how much

272
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 2: more valuable are you than none? Everybody say valuable? Okay,

273
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 2: think about what's valuable to you, okay. So anxiety scarcity,

274
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 2: it's a tendency that we have. It shrouds reality regarding God.

275
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 2: And then God comes in to earth and he's just like,

276
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 2: let's talk about this, and here's what I want you

277
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 2: to know. You are more valuable than these animals that

278
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 2: I take complete care of their whole ecosystem I'm in

279
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 2: charge of that. You're way more value if I feed them.

280
00:15:58,280 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 2: Do you think I'm gonna feed you? If I close?

281
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 2: Do you think I'm gonna clothe you? If I provide

282
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 2: for them? Do you think I'm gonna provide for you?

283
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 2: And what he's doing is he's replacing the perceived loss

284
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 2: that we're all anxious about with himself.

285
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 3: Who does that? God does? God?

286
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 2: Can you know that thing you're that thing in your

287
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 2: future that you're all worried about. God sees that that's

288
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 2: way ahead of you, and he's already there. And so

289
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 2: that's really what I want you to see, is that

290
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 2: when when anxiety, which is called in psycho in the

291
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 2: psychological community, a blinding emotion, When anxiety blinds our emotions,

292
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 2: what does it blind us to? It blinds us to

293
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 2: the reality that there is God and he created you,

294
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 2: and he's over you, and he's gonna meet your needs

295
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 2: and we miss him. But if we listen to Jesus

296
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 2: as he talks about his mind on aering, we can

297
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 2: start to get a little different perspective on where it

298
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 2: comes from, how we should deal with it, and what

299
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 2: it does. Because Jesus saying, yeah, while it is normal,

300
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 2: there's no scarcity when you're in relationship with me. While

301
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 2: it is normal to put a little bit of energy

302
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 2: into it, don't put a lot of energy into it. Why,

303
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 2: Because the reality is is that I am present. I

304
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 2: understand you're valuable. You know my kids speaking of I

305
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 2: am present and they're valuable.

306
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 3: My kids never asked me, Dad, are we gonna eat

307
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 3: breakfast tomorrow? Dad?

308
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 2: Are there apples or bananas in the refrigerator. Dad, are

309
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 2: we gonna have.

310
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 3: Dinner this week?

311
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 2: You know that space parents, where it's just like, of course,

312
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 2: it's like, my kids are valuable to me. I'm gonna

313
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 2: make sure they're fed, and they it doesn't even hit

314
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,239
Speaker 2: It's not even it wasn't even a blip on their radar. Now,

315
00:17:55,280 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 2: I understand that in the world economy that's not always true,

316
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 2: but I'll tell you what that space that they lived

317
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 2: in of it didn't even wasn't even a second thought. Folks,

318
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 2: this is the space God's calling us into. My kids

319
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 2: never got anxious about scarcity when it came to food

320
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 2: and clothes. Why because I was present. You know, God's

321
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 2: saying to some of us right now, you need to

322
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 2: remember who I am and that I'm present, and don't

323
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 2: let anxiety cloud that reality because when you do, you're

324
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 2: going to start trying to solve your own anxiety and

325
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 2: feel better or different. And guess who's waiting on the

326
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 2: other side to help you solve that problem of anxiety,

327
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 2: evil culture, and your worst impulses. So you see the

328
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,479
Speaker 2: spiritual battle that we're in right now over all this stuff,

329
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 2: all right, So that's Jesus's mind on our anxieties. Let's

330
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 2: go to the next the next little picture, and instead

331
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 2: of words in Luke chapter twelve, verses twenty seven to

332
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 2: thirty one, consider there's that word again, which we'll come

333
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 2: back to. Consider how the wildflowers grow. They do not

334
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 2: labor or spend. Yet, I tell you not even Solomon,

335
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 2: in all his splendor.

336
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 3: Was dressed like one of these.

337
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 2: If that is how God clothes the grass of the field,

338
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 2: which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire,

339
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 2: how much more will he clothe you? You have little faith,

340
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 2: and do not set your heart on what you will

341
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 2: eat or drink, or do not worry. Let's finish this

342
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 2: passage together, for the pagan world runs after all such things,

343
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 2: and your father knows that.

344
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 3: You need them. Wow, so you've got this first picture right.

345
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 2: It's consider the ravens and how much more valuable are

346
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 2: you than they? Which is intended to show you your worth?

347
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 2: And when you know you're worth to God, you have

348
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 2: peace through God. Say that with me, when I know

349
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 2: my worth in God, When I know my worth in God,

350
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 2: I have peace from God. There you go, So it's

351
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 2: how much more? How much more valuable are you than they?

352
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 2: Now I'm making this conscious connection between God, me and

353
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 2: my worth that He gives to me. In this part,

354
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 2: you see another what consider right, which tells you where

355
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 2: the battle for anxiety is, which I told you neuroscientifically.

356
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 2: But Jesus is just saying practically, it's between your ears.

357
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 2: And he's trying to get you to think a little

358
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,360
Speaker 2: bit different about this topic.

359
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 3: And so he goes look at the wild flowers.

360
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 2: Beautiful, right, They're more beautiful than you know Solomon dressed

361
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 2: in Valentino. All right, they're more beautiful than any lace

362
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 2: making custom brand designer. That flower, which is organic, is

363
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 2: more beautiful than anything man can make.

364
00:20:58,520 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 3: But here's the point.

365
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,400
Speaker 2: Then he goes down the road and that's so beautiful,

366
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 2: but it's temporary.

367
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 3: It's here today, gone tomorrow.

368
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 2: Then here comes that next repetitive phrase, how much more

369
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 2: will God clothe you? So the first how much more

370
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 2: is about worse value?

371
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 3: I care that.

372
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 2: Should deliver some peace into your heart. God sees me,

373
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 2: I'm visible, I'm valuable, He's able, all right. Then you

374
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 2: have the second little section where he's like, Okay.

375
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 3: God makes beautiful things.

376
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 2: Beautiful things are temporary, but then he just says, how

377
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 2: much more will God clothe you? And it doesn't have

378
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 2: to do with scarcity, It has to do with God's capacity. Right,

379
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 2: your valuable is the first messages. And then it's I'm

380
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 2: able and I have capacity. Right, those things go away.

381
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 2: Everything you're worried about, a lot of it you can't

382
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 2: take with you. There's no no hursts right, carrying a

383
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 2: dead person, pulling a U haul you can't take it

384
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:08,199
Speaker 2: with you. And then God saying, hey, you know what,

385
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 2: how much more will he clothe you? And this gives

386
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 2: us a sense of the dimension that God wants us

387
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 2: to live in when it comes to trials, tribulations and

388
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 2: the anxieties that come with the events of your life.

389
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 2: He wants you to get into that how much more space?

390
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 2: He wants you to have? How much more thinking? He says, consider?

391
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 2: And then he gives a picture. How much more? Consider?

392
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 2: He gives a picture? How much more? Can I just

393
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 2: ask you a question? Are you living right now in

394
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 2: the how much more? It's like stranger things living in

395
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 2: the upside down?

396
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 3: Right? Are you in the how much more? Because I'll

397
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 3: tell you this, If you're living in the how much more?

398
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 2: And you understand who God is, who you are, and

399
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 2: how much he loves you, and how valuable you are,

400
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 2: and what his capacity is. When you put those two together,

401
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 2: you're in the helmet much more.

402
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 3: Amen. This is really important, folks, because this is.

403
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 2: The space that Jesus wants you to live in, versus

404
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 2: the alternative, which is how little God thinks of me,

405
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 2: which is how little he can do for me, which

406
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 2: is I have to take care of myself because if

407
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:23,479
Speaker 2: God doesn't consider me worthy of attention, then I have

408
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 2: to make myself worthy of attention. If God won't provide

409
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 2: for my needs, then I have to go out and

410
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 2: it's all on me.

411
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 3: I have to do it all. And that creates boatloads

412
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 3: of anxiety.

413
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 2: So let's unpack now from this second section Jesus desire.

414
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 2: When I'm anxious, the first thing he wants us to

415
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 2: do is internalize my worth Emotionally.

416
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,959
Speaker 3: He's connecting personal.

417
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:53,719
Speaker 2: Worth and your perception of your personal worth to your

418
00:23:53,840 --> 00:24:00,479
Speaker 2: level of peace. It's a really important connection. Peace is

419
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 2: connected to my perception of my worth. I know this personally.

420
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 2: I'm the navy brat, last of seven, son of a

421
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 2: third generation alcoholic. I tell people I was raised by

422
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 2: the wolves right, because there was five year separation between

423
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 2: me and my closest sibling, and because of some of

424
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 2: the issues going on in our home.

425
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 3: Dad wasn't in the home. My dad was a ghost.

426
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 2: Mom was at Bingo Saint Joseph Archbishop Midy Church of Ascension.

427
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 2: That was her escape. And so I was just kind

428
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 2: of hanging in the middle, right. And you know what

429
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 2: a lack of time and talk and touch does in

430
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 2: the heart of a little child, in the middle of

431
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 2: a family, you question your worth. So that creates a

432
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:49,360
Speaker 2: baseline folks of anxiety inside the heart of a child

433
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 2: that goes, I gotta go get some So I just

434
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 2: worked that out when I was with people. The problem

435
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 2: was is that I had such a deficit.

436
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 3: I didn't know. It's like, please, will you talk to me?

437
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:02,679
Speaker 3: You know? Is that I talked in class?

438
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,679
Speaker 2: My third grade teacher on my report card said, Kenny's

439
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 2: a bright student, but he has diarrhea of the mouth.

440
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 2: Aren't you glad that the Holy Spirit can take a

441
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 2: childhood weakness and turn it into an adult strength?

442
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 3: Here I am right, he said, I'm coming from a

443
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 3: better place. I'm not.

444
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,199
Speaker 2: I'm not worried about what you think anymore. I know

445
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 2: I have my worth and it's in.

446
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 3: Jesus, God loves me. I'm cool.

447
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:31,919
Speaker 2: The fight's over, but the fight wasn't over for a

448
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 2: long time. And so what you'll see in my high

449
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 2: school yearbook is Kenny Luck, Life of the Party. What

450
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 2: am I working out? I'm working out my worth. I

451
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 2: have a lampshade on my head, I have a big

452
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 2: thing of beer in my hand. I have a fake

453
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 2: cigar in my mouth. And it should have said Kenny Luck,

454
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 2: best actor dying for some worth and approval. But you see,

455
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 2: the human soul is hardwired like a heat seeking missile.

456
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 2: You know what heat seeking missile is, right, So two.

457
00:25:58,920 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 3: Planes are flying.

458
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 2: Once presses the red button, and then a heat seeking

459
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 2: missile deploys from the wing and it starts seeking the

460
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,199
Speaker 2: heat of the engine in front of it until it

461
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 2: gets to it's target. Your soul is like a heat

462
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 2: seeking missile. It's designed by God to seek worse and

463
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 2: until you find it, you're gonna be anxious until you're

464
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 2: calmed down by the eternal, everlasting, wonderful, beautiful, peace making

465
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 2: love of God. And so when we look at this,

466
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 2: there's a battle going on over that in every human

467
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:43,239
Speaker 2: soul for their worth. And if you're not sure about it,

468
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 2: if you're not sure you matter, Like a heat seeking missile,

469
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 2: you're gonna find a way to make sure that you matter.

470
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 2: You're gonna figure it out. You're gonna turn to peer groups.

471
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 2: You're gonna turn to other families. Maybe you didn't belong

472
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 2: in your family, so I turned to my other families.

473
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 2: It's like peer group. That's my posse. So I got

474
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 2: my identity. They told me how to be and believe

475
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 2: and behave, and I belong and I would do things

476
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 2: that were harmful for me because I long for the

477
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 2: intimacy and worth of that connection. We do silly things

478
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 2: when we're anxious. We make bad decisions when we're anxious,

479
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 2: but we make the worst life decisions when we're anxious

480
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 2: about our worth. And there are some people here right

481
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 2: now you're anxious about your worth.

482
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 3: You don't know that you're okay. The fight isn't over

483
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 3: for you.

484
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 2: And I'm here to tell you, as someone who knows

485
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 2: the journey, that you're valuable to God and that he

486
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 2: loves you. And then he has an intention for you

487
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 2: and you're fighting it. Maybe some of you are raised

488
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 2: in a Christian home, and your parents has been telling

489
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 2: you your.

490
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 3: Whole life, God loves you.

491
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 2: God loves you, God loves you, but you haven't figured

492
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 2: that out for yourself. And you know what, you're withdrawn

493
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,439
Speaker 2: from them, or you're anxious and you don't know what

494
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 2: the future and you're not sure if you have what

495
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 2: it takes, and so you just withdraw because you know

496
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 2: you can be anxious about stuff and chase worse, or

497
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 2: you can just give up. That's called depression. That's why

498
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:17,400
Speaker 2: anxiety and depression go together. And so do you see

499
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 2: the spiritual battle Jesus is dealing with right here? Just

500
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:24,959
Speaker 2: talking about story. You don't need to be anxious, but

501
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 2: you're gonna keep being anxious if you keep me at

502
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,679
Speaker 2: arm's legs in your life. And it has nothing to

503
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 2: do with how you grew up, or who your parents are,

504
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 2: or what your circumstances are. It has everything to do

505
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 2: with you recognizing that you're created by God, you're loved by.

506
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 3: God, you're made for God. In one day, you're going

507
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 3: back to God some way.

508
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 2: And if you don't understand that, forget the whole piece equation.

509
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 2: Because culture doesn't provide peace. Culture provides anxiety because the

510
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 2: goalposts are always moving. Amen, So you got to internalize

511
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 2: you're worth. My good friend Nick Voyachitch, who's been here

512
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 2: at this church, he has no arms, he has no legs.

513
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 3: You know what he says, never live out of what

514
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 3: you lack.

515
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 2: So I'm staring at a guy who has tiny, tiny feet,

516
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 2: no arms. You know what that guy does. He doesn't

517
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 2: lives out out of what he lacks. He lives out

518
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 2: of what's been given to him by God, and he

519
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 2: reaches billions of people around the globe. He's the most

520
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 2: inspiring person you've ever met. But he lacks certain things,

521
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 2: but he doesn't live out of what he lacks. I'm

522
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 2: speaking to some of you right now. You're living out

523
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 2: of the lack of identity. Your identity is in culture,

524
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 2: it's not in Christ. And you get encouraged to come

525
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 2: into Christ, and there's something inside of you. And it's

526
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 2: usually a lie that says, well, if I give my

527
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 2: life to Christ, then I don't know what that means.

528
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 2: But Jesus says it's okay because I'm the Way, the Truth,

529
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 2: and the Life. I'm Life, and I'll give you the

530
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 2: life you were created to live. So you have to

531
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 2: internalize your worth emotionally. Secondly, you got to recognize his

532
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 2: ability practically. In this passage, he says, how much more

533
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 2: will he clothe you? God says, you know that future

534
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 2: that you're so worried about, He's got that, that scarcity,

535
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 2: what you lack, what you hope you'll have, that dream

536
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 2: that you hope you'll achieve.

537
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 3: Jesus going, I got that. How much more will he

538
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 3: clothe you? You can calm down.

539
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 2: But there is a future that all of us are

540
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 2: concerned about, every one of us.

541
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 3: But God's over it. God has a plan for it.

542
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 2: And God's telling you right now, in this moment as

543
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 2: we're together, I got you.

544
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 3: Please, you don't have to live anxiously anymore. I got it.

545
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 2: You know how comforting it is when someone with capacity

546
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 2: shows up, You know, when someone who like has the

547
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 2: all excess passed and says he's with me, or someone

548
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 2: who who has to supply, and then all your your

549
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 2: you're like, all your concerns about supply just went down,

550
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 2: and she's like, awesome, dude, how's everything all right. It's

551
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 2: like my neighbor Gary, he has every tool known to mankind.

552
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 2: He has more tools than home depot when it comes

553
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 2: to a fix it project.

554
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 3: At my house. I have total peace. Why because Gary

555
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 3: has capacity? Right, Just like Gary, you got this size.

556
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 2: Nut bolt thing, jigger, miter thing, saw whatever. He's like

557
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 2: cheer and you walk in his garage and you're like,

558
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 2: I don't feel like a man. I'm not a man anyway.

559
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 2: I don't know where that came from. Maybe an anxious insecurity.

560
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 3: I'm working it out with you, right, we're all together

561
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:07,959
Speaker 3: in this.

562
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 2: My name's Kenny, and I'm a tool deprived person, all right,

563
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 2: So internalize my worth emotionally, Jesus saying, and then recognize

564
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 2: his ability practically. When you recognize someone has capacity, and

565
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 2: God has unlimited capacity, say that with me unlimited capacity.

566
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 2: Then you stop being anxious and you start having a

567
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 2: little more peace.

568
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,239
Speaker 3: But you got to connect with it, and you got

569
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 3: to risk trusting it.

570
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 2: Third, Jesus is saying in this second section, reset my

571
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 2: heart on the Father. Notice in the passage it says,

572
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 2: and do not set your heart on what you will

573
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 2: eat or drink. Do not worry about it, for the

574
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 2: pagan world runs after all such things, and your father

575
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 2: knows that you need them. So there's reset my heart

576
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 2: my Father knows that I have need. How do I

577
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 2: have to reset my heart? Well, I have to act

578
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 2: like somebody who knows God. If you're here and you

579
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 2: have a relationship with God through the person and work

580
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 2: of Jesus, and you've said yes, you've said I've crossed

581
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 2: the line. I believe that Jesus was God. I believe

582
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 2: that he died from my sin. I've received that person

583
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 2: and that work for me.

584
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 3: Right.

585
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 2: You're in, So don't lack like people who are not in.

586
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 2: Everybody's a creation of God, not everybody's a child of God.

587
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 2: You become a child of God after being a creation

588
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 2: of God when you.

589
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 3: Say yes to God's son. But when you're in the family.

590
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 2: It's a battle, and Jesus is speaking in the mouths like,

591
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 2: don't set your heart on that, because that's what the

592
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 2: world does. You're chasing after culture. That's not what Father wants.

593
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 2: So you replace culture with Christ. There are some of

594
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 2: you listening to my voice right now, and you're fighting

595
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 2: replacing culture with Christ.

596
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 3: You just can't believe.

597
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 2: That if you do things God's way, that the deep

598
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 2: longings inside of you and your dreams can be accomplished. Man,

599
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:12,359
Speaker 2: is that limited thinking. I'm just telling you right now,

600
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 2: you're limiting yourself. I used to think that way. I

601
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 2: used to think God was a buzzkill. Was I the

602
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 2: most absolutely, unequivocally wrong person that ever walked on planet Earth.

603
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 2: I started doing things I've never done before. I started

604
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 2: feeling things I've never felt before. I started seeing things

605
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 2: I've never seen before. I started seeing transformations that I

606
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 2: never thought what happened. I've seen relationships come together and

607
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 2: reconcile that I never thought would come together and reconcile.

608
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 3: I saw my family fall like Domino's to the power

609
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 3: and love of God, like boot boo boo boo boo

610
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 3: boo boo boo boo boo boot.

611
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:50,280
Speaker 2: But you know, the Devil is really interested in keeping

612
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:54,879
Speaker 2: you in this principle of scarcity. Evil wants you to know, Hey,

613
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,720
Speaker 2: if you do it God's way, you're gonna miss out.

614
00:34:58,239 --> 00:34:58,879
Speaker 3: You know who is.

615
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:05,240
Speaker 2: The author of the original Fomo constitution. Satan read Genesis

616
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 2: chapter three. Yeah, you could do it that way, but

617
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,720
Speaker 2: if you do it that way, then you're.

618
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 3: Gonna miss out.

619
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 2: He says to Adam and e some of you are

620
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 2: thinking that way, and I'm here to tell you the truth.

621
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 2: Your impulses won't tell you the truth. The culture won't

622
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 2: tell you the truth. Your emotional brain is not going

623
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 2: to tell you the truth. But I'm here to tell

624
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:26,879
Speaker 2: you the truth. And the truth is is that God

625
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 2: loves you, and you need to internalize your worth in Him,

626
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 2: and you have to begin to open yourself up to

627
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 2: the reality that this God who loves you also holds

628
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 2: Earth three spots from the sun, perfectly balanced with perfect

629
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 2: chemical components, and the very breath that you breathe is

630
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 2: by the grace of the one who created you and

631
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 2: loves you.

632
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 3: He has capacity. You have to get that. You're sitting here.

633
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 2: You're sitting here and you're listening, and the sounds of

634
00:35:56,080 --> 00:36:00,399
Speaker 2: my voice are going in your ear, but you don't

635
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 2: want to listen. It's just like, No, I've lived my

636
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 2: life one way. I kind of dug in my feet.

637
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 3: I've made a position for myself.

638
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 2: I've declared things, I've said things that I really believe.

639
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 2: I've gotten emotional about the things I want to do

640
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 2: and I don't want to do.

641
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:16,879
Speaker 3: Well.

642
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,760
Speaker 2: Guess what, You're going to have to put your pride

643
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 2: on the shelf, and you're going to have to humble

644
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 2: yourself if you want to experience life the way.

645
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 3: God want it. So what's Jesus saying in this next passage?

646
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,400
Speaker 2: You're saying, internalize your worth, recognize his ability, reset your

647
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 2: heart on the Father, and then risk living out your

648
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 2: truest identity. I won't camp long on this, but he says,

649
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:43,839
Speaker 2: if you're a Christian and that's who you are, you're

650
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 2: a christ follower, all right, then why don't you live

651
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 2: like one instead of living like an unbeliever who's trapped

652
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 2: and in bondage to overwhelming stress and anxiety.

653
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 3: And start mining.

654
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:02,840
Speaker 2: Okay, it's a processes, but start mining what this means

655
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 2: to be created by God and to be seen by God,

656
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 2: and to be visible and to be valuable, and to

657
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,399
Speaker 2: grasp the height and the depth so that you can

658
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 2: have power. The Bible says in your inner being. The

659
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 2: passage pastor Greg read is followed by so that you

660
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:24,879
Speaker 2: may have power. Everybody say power, power in your inner being.

661
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 2: A lot of you came to church today and you

662
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 2: lack power. You want to get some power in your life.

663
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 2: Understand that you're valuable, Understand that you're visible. Understand that

664
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 2: God has capacity. Understand that God sees you. Not only

665
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 2: does he see you, he has a plan for you,

666
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 2: and you have to humble yourself before.

667
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 3: You're maker, not.

668
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 2: Your parents, not some religious institution. You're maker, and you

669
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 2: can risk living out of that identity versus living as

670
00:37:58,200 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 2: a Christian.

671
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 3: But like the could. Sure you know what this.

672
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 2: World needs right now Christians who live like Christians. And

673
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 2: part of Christians being Christians is that they have this

674
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 2: conscious connection to God that gives them an abiding peace,

675
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 2: not in the absence of adversity, but right in the

676
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 2: middle of it.

677
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 3: That's true peace. True peace isn't.

678
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,760
Speaker 2: All my problems resolved and my life is going great,

679
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 2: and true peace is witnessed and observed when everything's going

680
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 2: wrong and you're okay. The world needs to see that

681
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 2: in us men and women. Needs to see it in me,

682
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 2: needs to see it in you, needs to see it

683
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 2: in this community.

684
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 3: All right? You with me? All right? Let's go to

685
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 3: this last passage from Luke twelve. So Jesus two pictures.

686
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 2: Consider, you gotta think different if you want to live different.

687
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:50,319
Speaker 2: You gotta think differently if you want to not live anxiously.

688
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 2: And then he says this, but seek the seek his kingdom,

689
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 2: and these things will be given to you as well.

690
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 2: Do not be afraid, little flock, for your father has

691
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 2: been pleased to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions

692
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,719
Speaker 2: and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that

693
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,399
Speaker 2: will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will

694
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 2: never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys.

695
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 2: Let's finish it together, for where your treasure is there,

696
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 2: your heart will also be. Do you see the transition

697
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 2: of Jesus speaking to the individual to speaking to us

698
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 2: as a community. Don't be afraid, little what flock. So

699
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,320
Speaker 2: it's like, hey, don't you be worried. You consider the ravens,

700
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 2: you consider the flowers. How much more valuable are you?

701
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,280
Speaker 2: And then it kind of transitions and he's like, Okay,

702
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 2: here's the transition. Your misplaced energy is not going to

703
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 2: go into a new place, and you're gonna seek the

704
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 2: Kingdom of God. And guess what, when you aim at heaven,

705
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 2: God throws earth in.

706
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 3: Did you get it? Seek first the Kingdom of.

707
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 2: God and his righteousness, and then all these things will

708
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 2: be added to you.

709
00:39:56,320 --> 00:40:00,320
Speaker 3: Do you get that? It's like a gift with purchase. Ladies,

710
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 3: you know what I'm talking about right, go to the

711
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 3: cosmetic counter.

712
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 2: They're just like, thank you for buying that compact in

713
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 2: that makeup, and guess what, we have a nice tote

714
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:16,880
Speaker 2: that was cheaply made, but it's your gift. With purpose,

715
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 2: you aim at heaven, God throws earth in. You want

716
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,720
Speaker 2: more joy, you want more peace. And if you're aiming

717
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:28,359
Speaker 2: at earth, you know what, you get anxiety. That's what

718
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,959
Speaker 2: Earth gives you. But you aim at heaven, you get

719
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 2: God and you get this new purpose, and you get

720
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 2: this new team, and you get these new plans, and

721
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 2: you get the Holy Spirit.

722
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:39,359
Speaker 3: You get power and you're inner being.

723
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 2: You get joy and love and peace and patience and kindness.

724
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 3: Does the world need that? Yes it does. It needs

725
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:48,439
Speaker 3: it from you, and you get earth thrown in.

726
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 2: I live more abundantly than I ever would if I

727
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,800
Speaker 2: was just aiming at Earth and then living out of anxiety.

728
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 2: So you can make the choice this morning yourself. You

729
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 2: can aim at heaven and get earth thrown in, or

730
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 2: you can aim at earth and live in your anxiety,

731
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 2: because that's what culture will do. Want to know why

732
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 2: it doesn't solve your anxiety when all your circumstances resolve

733
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:13,319
Speaker 2: around you. Listen to me because the problems inside of

734
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 2: us cannot be solved by things outside of us. The

735
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 2: dilemmas within us cannot be solved by another rearrangement of

736
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 2: your circumstances. You know what, Scrambled eggs and eggs over

737
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 2: easy and running eggs are eggs. But you think in

738
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 2: your brain, because you're believing a lie, that if I

739
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 2: re scramble my eggs and kind of put a little

740
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 2: big old spice on it, or some siracha sauce or

741
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 2: some tabasco or some salsa, or have some avocado and tomato,

742
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 2: that the core thing is gonna change. Nope, you're still

743
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 2: eating wavos rancheros. My sister, it's eggs. But we think

744
00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 2: that if we just you know, if we can move

745
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 2: the chest peace, if we can create a little different

746
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 2: outer circumstance in our lives, if we can just then

747
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 2: somehow by a mystical osmosis, that I'm going to have

748
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 2: more peace and my anxiety goes away. I'll say it again,

749
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 2: the dilemmas inside of you cannot be solved by things

750
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 2: outside of you. You need the love of Jesus in

751
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 2: your heart. You need to know your maker through him,

752
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 2: super important. So what does it mean for us? On

753
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 2: your notes, I said, a people of peace in a

754
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,840
Speaker 2: world of panic. You know what the world needs to

755
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:36,800
Speaker 2: see right now? People of peace. I wont know why

756
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 2: because they're living anxiously. And you know, it's really different

757
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 2: when you have a non anxious person who is present

758
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 2: with anxious people, you have every reason to.

759
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 3: Be at peace. I understand.

760
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:52,799
Speaker 2: I know that life has difficulties and losses and traumas

761
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 2: and all of those things. But you know a redeemer,

762
00:42:56,719 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 2: and if God can redeem the confusing disillusion unjust doesn't

763
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 2: make sense torture and crucifixion of his son, he can

764
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 2: redeem what you're going through. I know what trauma is.

765
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 2: I know what suicide in my life is with two brothers.

766
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 2: I know what it's like to live alone in a

767
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 2: family of nine, to be completely and totally alone. I

768
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 2: know what it's like to have three miscarriages in a

769
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 2: family and feel hopeless. My wife is getting wheeled on

770
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:34,399
Speaker 2: a journey. I know all those feelings. But you know what,

771
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:37,439
Speaker 2: when I think of how I'm gonna deal with it,

772
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 2: I just go You know what, God, if you can

773
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:42,960
Speaker 2: redeem what Jesus went through and everybody looking at that

774
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 2: just went, m No, this is wrong, This is unjust,

775
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:50,359
Speaker 2: this is unfair him. He's such a good man. Love

776
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 2: your neighbor as yourself, love God, touching lepers, breaking the

777
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:55,320
Speaker 2: rules to love people.

778
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:57,720
Speaker 3: Why him? This is so disillusioning.

779
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 2: Was God present? Yes he was. Was God securing your salvation,

780
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,720
Speaker 2: yes he was. Was God securing your future?

781
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 3: Yes he was.

782
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 2: Because God is a redeemer, So we need to be

783
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:12,840
Speaker 2: a people of peace in a world of panic. What

784
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:13,399
Speaker 2: does that mean?

785
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 3: Write this down?

786
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:17,719
Speaker 2: Secure in God's love means we're free to risk for God.

787
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 2: In our pastoral team, we were talking about this and

788
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 2: I said, guys, I think that that third section is

789
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 2: the and I got the first few letters of free

790
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 2: out and as I was, I was this looks like

791
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:31,800
Speaker 2: a fury, and Pastor JP goes, that's exactly right, before

792
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 2: I even got the words out.

793
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:37,799
Speaker 3: That's a free person. They know who they are, and

794
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 3: when they know who they are, they know what to do.

795
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 2: And when they know who they are and they know

796
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:44,319
Speaker 2: what to do and they're secure in God's love, they're

797
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:46,360
Speaker 2: free to seek the kingdom.

798
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,880
Speaker 3: Why Because God said I got all that, So why.

799
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 2: Don't you put a little energy into the kingdom, and

800
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:54,319
Speaker 2: then I'm gonna provide everything you mean, keep aiming at heaven.

801
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 2: I'm gonna throw earth in. That's a free person. Secondly,

802
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 2: secure in God's love means we're free to sacrifice for others.

803
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 2: Look at Jesus turn a corner and he just goes, Hey,

804
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 2: don't be afraid of little flock.

805
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 3: Seek the kingdom. God's pleased to give you the kingdom. Right,

806
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 3: who doesn't want the keys to the kingdom? Come on.

807
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:14,320
Speaker 2: God's like, I'll show you a world. Here's the keys.

808
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 2: Unlock that door.

809
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 3: Seek me.

810
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 2: And then he said, sell your possessions and give to

811
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,359
Speaker 2: the poor. Provide persons for yourselves that won't wear out.

812
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 2: You see how the free person secure in God's love

813
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 2: is free to sacrifice for other people. But if you're

814
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:30,280
Speaker 2: anxious about what you don't have, if you're discontent about

815
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:32,240
Speaker 2: what I don't have, if you live out of the gaps,

816
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:33,879
Speaker 2: if you're living out of what you lack and you're

817
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 2: nervous about getting what you lack in the future, you

818
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:38,320
Speaker 2: will not serve other people.

819
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 3: We got to take care.

820
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 2: Of this, just like I would tell my kids I

821
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 2: got it. Then they would just go, mmmm, are we

822
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 2: going to in and out?

823
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:48,759
Speaker 3: Are we going to in and out? Yes, we're going

824
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 3: in and out M because I have capacity.

825
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 2: I'm the one who gives them the ATM card at

826
00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 2: that little window. And then we all proceed to eat

827
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:03,239
Speaker 2: footballs and we put it inside and we go Wasn't

828
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 2: that great? We're free to sacrifice for others. Jesus is

829
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 2: painting this picture of people who are free from worry

830
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:16,360
Speaker 2: and into other people. Third, secure in God's love means

831
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:21,800
Speaker 2: we're okay when the oceans rage. And this is really important.

832
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 2: You know that song we say, I don't have to

833
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 2: be afraid, right because I know that you love me.

834
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:33,360
Speaker 3: Your love never fails.

835
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:36,840
Speaker 2: And when the oceans rage, I don't have to be

836
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 2: afraid because I know that you love me.

837
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:40,760
Speaker 3: How comforting is that?

838
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:43,360
Speaker 2: Because the oceans are going to rage, Jesus said, the

839
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 2: oceans will rage. In this world, You'll have tribulation, take courage.

840
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:48,839
Speaker 2: I've overcome the world. So the oceans are going to rage.

841
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 2: But I'm going to be with you in it, with you,

842
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,800
Speaker 2: loving you, working out my purpose until we get together

843
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 2: face to face forever. Look at your notes on the

844
00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:01,160
Speaker 2: bottom there, Psalm ninety four, verse seventeen Let's read that together,

845
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 2: if you have your notes. If God hadn't been there

846
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,760
Speaker 2: for me, I never would have made it. The minute

847
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:10,439
Speaker 2: I said I'm slipping, I'm falling your love, God took

848
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:11,440
Speaker 2: hold and.

849
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:12,360
Speaker 3: Held me fast.

850
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 2: When I was upset and beside myself, You calmed me

851
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 2: down and cheered me up. You know how we like

852
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 2: to say sometimes for those of us who have seen

853
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:25,880
Speaker 2: and experienced God's peace in the midst of the ocean raging,

854
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:28,720
Speaker 2: you say to yourself, Man, I don't know how people

855
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 2: do it without God.

856
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:31,800
Speaker 3: You ever said that to yourself.

857
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:37,759
Speaker 2: Jesus agrees with you. God agrees with you. He does

858
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 2: not understand. It does not compute to him when he's

859
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 2: available for you that you would choose willingly to do

860
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 2: life without his love because He made you to experience

861
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:52,839
Speaker 2: love and to experience his care as your heavenly father.

862
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 2: Look what it says in John one seventeen. Let's read

863
00:47:55,520 --> 00:48:00,359
Speaker 2: that together on your notes. God's unfailing love and faithfulness

864
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:03,799
Speaker 2: came through Jesus Christ. Very important concept. You'll read in

865
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 2: the Psalms, and you'll read in the Gospels how God's

866
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 2: love is unfailing. Everybody say unfailing. Okay, In other words,

867
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 2: God's love is a fail safe.

868
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:15,239
Speaker 3: Guys, know what a fails safe is.

869
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 2: It's something that activates in the event that something else fails.

870
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 2: In fact, on your notes, I have a definition of it.

871
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 2: It's a secondary safety system or backup that comes into

872
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 2: operation in the event of a breakdown. There's people breaking down, malfunction,

873
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 2: there's really people malfunctioning and something going wrong.

874
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:36,239
Speaker 3: So much going wrong right now.

875
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:44,040
Speaker 2: My question is, is God's fail safe of his love inside

876
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 2: your life?

877
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 3: Do you have a backup.

878
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 2: That becomes your primary and you start not living out

879
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:57,799
Speaker 2: of what you lack, but you start living out of

880
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:02,080
Speaker 2: what you're full of, full of God's purpose, full of

881
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:05,959
Speaker 2: God's presence, full of God's spirit, full of God's word.

882
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:11,840
Speaker 2: Is God's fail safe in place in your life? So

883
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:16,440
Speaker 2: here's what we do. We don't want anybody to live anxiously. Amen,

884
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 2: But they have to have God's love present inside of

885
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:25,400
Speaker 2: them and become secure on the inside. Remember, because the

886
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:27,799
Speaker 2: things outside of us don't solve the dilemmas within us.

887
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 2: God's presence, Almighty God, God, the Father inside of you.

888
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 3: That'll calm you down a little bit.

889
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:41,319
Speaker 2: We all need to reaffirm or maybe for the first time.

890
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:44,880
Speaker 2: We need to put the fail safe of God's unfailing

891
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 2: love inside it because we're failing. We're failing to stop anxiety,

892
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 2: because we're trying to seek solutions outside of us while

893
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 2: not taking the solution God wants to plant within us.

894
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 2: So we're going to pray right now, and the words

895
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:02,040
Speaker 2: are going to be on the screen. They're in your notes.

896
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 2: And I want safety in this place. I want you

897
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:10,359
Speaker 2: to feel safe praying this, whether you haven't prayed in

898
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:14,360
Speaker 2: a long time or never to you pray every.

899
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:16,720
Speaker 3: Day and every minute.

900
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:18,920
Speaker 2: I want everybody to feel safe, which is why we're

901
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:22,279
Speaker 2: all gonna pray this prayer out loud, all right, So

902
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:23,560
Speaker 2: I would like everybody.

903
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:24,600
Speaker 3: To just kind of stand to your feet.

904
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:31,040
Speaker 2: And as a community, as a community of people, we're

905
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 2: just gonna declare this okay. And then Pastor Greg's gonna

906
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:39,920
Speaker 2: come up with a closing word. So look at the

907
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:43,279
Speaker 2: words on the screen and let's say them together. Ready,

908
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:47,719
Speaker 2: Father in Heaven, let's say together, I am ready for

909
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 2: your love to take over how I view myself, my past,

910
00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:55,919
Speaker 2: my present, and my future. I am ready to give

911
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:59,719
Speaker 2: the fullest access to my inner self so that any

912
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:04,439
Speaker 2: fear known or unknown, can be defeated and replaced by

913
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 2: your love for me. I want to grasp every dimension

914
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 2: of your love for me, so that every purpose you

915
00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:16,920
Speaker 2: have for me will be fulfilled. Begin the process now, Father,

916
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:23,040
Speaker 2: of breaking down all my defenses, all pride, and all fear,

917
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 2: so that I can receive your power and experience your peace.

918
00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:31,840
Speaker 2: I want to be free, along with my brothers and

919
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 2: sisters in Christ, to risk for you and sacrifice for

920
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:39,000
Speaker 2: others in this important moment of time.

921
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 3: I ask for this freely with all faith and hope

922
00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 3: in your son Jesus. Amen, you will be like God

923
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 3: human unity.

924
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:56,880
Speaker 2: God was severed and through it all God's promise remain true.

925
00:51:57,560 --> 00:52:02,600
Speaker 1: Follow me, Apri I would make you great.

926
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:06,600
Speaker 2: This is the Chosen People.

927
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:11,960
