00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:04,439
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Stephen Ferdik. I'm the pastor of Elevation

Speaker 1: He lives, He leaves, he leaves. Come on, if you

Speaker 1: know he lives all caps, exclamation mark, come on, put

8
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:41,919
Speaker 1: a smile on your face. Mis abby. Growing up at

9
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: the Methodist church, we would always say he has risen

10
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: and then say back, he has risen. Indeed. Well, we

11
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: can't say it to the people out loud today, but

12
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: we can type it. So I say he has risen,

13
00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: and you say, indeed, he has risen. Indeed. I'm gonna

14
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: give the YouTube delay thirty seconds just to catch up

15
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 1: on my screen, and then I can see indeed, indeed, indeed, indeed, indeed.

16
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: Come on. You gotta know that thing deep in your heart,

17
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: you remember the hem. You ask me how I know

18
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: he lives. I didn't see him on the day that

19
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: he died or the day he got up, but he

20
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: lives within my heart. There is resurrection power on the

21
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: inside of me. On the inside of you. Somebody say, indeed, indeed, wow,

22
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, man, this is really cool because

23
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 1: I was expecting the room to be empty today, and

24
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: from a health protocol standpoint, it is. There's only like

25
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: two and a half people here, and I'm not gonna

26
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: say who the half is. But what's really cool is

27
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: it's not empty. It's not empty. I just need you

28
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: to believe me when I say the glory of God

29
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: is in this place. The presence of the Lord is

30
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: in this place. I believe that about your home right

31
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: now too. I believe the presence of God is filling

32
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: up kitchens and living rooms. Come on, I believe some

33
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: of y'all are still in bed, but the presence of

34
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: the Lord is coming right in. Oh, you might set

35
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 1: up straight if you catch this. He is listen indeed, indeed,

36
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: so listen to me. This is very different, right. The

37
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: room isn't empty. It isn't empty. And sometimes on Easter,

38
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 1: I think we say things that on the surface are true,

39
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: like we say that the tomb where Jesus was buried

40
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: is empty, but it's really not. It's really not empty,

41
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: just like this room really isn't empty. It really isn't empty.

42
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: First of all, when he left, he put his linens there,

43
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: so he wanted them to know that he folded his

44
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: own clothes because he got up on purpose. Come on,

45
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: I got up on purpose today. Oh yeah. By the way,

46
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: I want to take the opportunity and apologize to my

47
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: mom before I tell you the rest of this. Mom,

48
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: I am so sorry. I have on a leather jacket

49
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: on Easter. I know this is not Easter apparel, but

50
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: since it's such a different Easter, but look, mom, it

51
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: really is. I want to say something real quick. This

52
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: jacket Chris gave me for my birthday, true story, and

53
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: he put it on the inside for graves into gardens.

54
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: So somebody type in the chat, say, these are my

55
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: Easter clothes. Come on, some of y'all got on some

56
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: big flannel pashamas. These are my Easter clothes. This is

57
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: my Eastern jacket. Hit the devil with a little bit

58
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: of resurrection leather. Today. We aren't playing. We've got the

59
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: joy of Lord. He has risen. Indeed, why'd y'all slow

60
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: down on the chat? Somebody saying I got up on purpose.

61
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: I woke up to connect to the presence of God.

62
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: I'm not here by accident. I'm up on purpose, yes, sir.

63
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: And not only that, not only that, the tomb had

64
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: had linen in it, so it really wasn't empty. It

65
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: just said he wasn't there he got up, But the

66
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: tomb really wasn't empty, because let me tell you another

67
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 1: thing that stayed in his tomb after he got up.

68
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: My fear, My fear is in that empty tomb. See

69
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: the reason I love it and the reason I don't

70
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 1: need a crowd to help me shout is because it's

71
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: not empty. My shame is in that tomb. My sin

72
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: is in that tomb. You know what was canceled, the

73
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 1: record of ron that stood against me. I'm telling you

74
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: I left it all in the I'm leaving it all

75
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: in the grain, every regret, every sail, your pisto, empty pansation.

76
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: By here, you are a sign against Jesus. This you

Speaker 1: coupa tula sixteen radc hiss. Come on, we'll release the

82
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: sound of Resurrection. I grabbed my big boy microphone today

83
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: because I want to release the sound of Resurrection. Come on,

84
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: I got a fresh night bolt battery, and today we

85
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: release the sound the Resurrection. I got so sad, Bishop,

86
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: because I was watching last year's Easter service and something

87
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: in me started to ache for the people to be here.

88
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: You know, we those of you that are a part

89
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: of our church. You know this. If you're just watching today,

90
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: because I don't know, somebody wouldn't leave you alone. They

91
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 1: bribe you with five Easter dollars in a purple egg

92
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: to get you to watch or something like that, then

93
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: maybe you won't get it. But we kind of vibe

94
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: off of each other, and we kind of preach off

95
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: of each other. And I don't really preach, I'm called

96
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: the preacher, but we preach together through our giving and

97
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: through our worshiping, and all of that is a part

98
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: of it. And man, our church is so weird because

99
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: you got so many different types of people in our church.

100
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: And I don't just mean like black or white or

101
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: Latino or any kind of designation like that. I mean

102
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: like some people grew up in church. I bet there's

103
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: somebody that's still got their Easter hat on even though

104
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: it's just you and your cat today, because it's just like,

105
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: it ain't Easter without a hat. And what I was

106
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: going to tell you about my mom, she said, this

107
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: is the first Easter of her life. I was talking

108
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: to her yesterday, eric that she was not in a

109
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: church building. At first. She said, this is my first Easter.

110
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: She's sixty six. And she said, because her dad was

111
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: a Methodist minister, that's the church I grew up in.

112
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: I love that church. Monk's Corner United Methodist. Shout out

113
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: Monk's Corner. If anybody's watching from Monk's Corner today, put

114
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: it in the chat. But it's so awesome, because she

115
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: said she stopped herself. She said, I almost said this

116
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: is my first Easter not going to church, and then

117
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: she said, but wait a minute. She said, I am church,

118
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: and she stopped herself and she said, so I'm still

119
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: I'm still going to be celebrating the resurrection. So sorry

120
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: about the leather jacket, mom, but I needed something to

121
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: kick the devil with. I put on some boots with

122
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: some snake skin on them too, just to let that serpent. No,

123
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: he's under my bruised heel. Somebody give God a praise

124
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: right there in the chat. Put a stop emoji. I

125
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: see you with the hat emojis and the sunshine in

126
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: the heart. Somebody put a devil stomp in emoji. Yeah,

127
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: life is hard, but today we celebrate that God is

128
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: good and that he is overcome. And the darkness came,

129
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 1: but it only had one hour, and that the light

130
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: is stronger. We believe that for your life today, not

131
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: just to give you height, but to give you hope.

132
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: But sometimes every once in a while, you got to

133
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: find that place inside of you. Do me a favor

134
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: right now. I miss you so much. I wish you

135
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: were here. I wish yall were here like you normally

136
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 1: are in Easter, packed into the third overflow, watching on

137
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: a screen in the bathroom, trying to get in for

138
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: the next service. But since we don't have that opportunity,

139
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: just do right now what you normally do. All right.

140
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 1: You don't even have your grandma sitting next to you

141
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 1: that you dragged the church, and you don't even have

142
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: to be embarrassed. She can't even see right now, So

143
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,719
Speaker 1: just go ahead. If you normally shout, shout, if you

144
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 1: normally lift your hands, yeah, right there, right there, right there,

145
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,079
Speaker 1: right there as a family, and put it on Instagram

146
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: so I can see it in a few minutes after

147
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: I've reached this word, if you lift your hands, just

148
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: to signify that he has risen and I'm getting up to,

149
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 1: I'm getting up to. That's really the message that I

150
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 1: want to bring to you today. It's called expect a resurrection?

151
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: Are you ready? Are you ready? Are you ready? Are

152

00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: I expect it. I expect it. In the chat expec

154
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: I expected in Pittsburgh. I expected in Milwaukee. I expected.

155
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 1: Come on, give me a city in the mic. Sometimes

156
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: I run out of cities to say. I expected in Singapore.

157
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: I expected in Seattle. I expected in Where do your

158
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: parents live? Veronica? Where do your parents live? Hillsborough, Dillsburgh, Hillsborough, Dillsburg.

159
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 1: They're all here today. Come on, y'all as Eastern I

160
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: got resurrection power running in my veins today. You say,

161
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: didn't that preacher get the memo? It's the end of

162
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: the world. But guess what I found out. What happens

163
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,599
Speaker 1: at the end is a new beginning. He showed me

164
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: that when he got up put my title back up.

165
00:10:51,200 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: I expect a resurrection day. Come on, let's do it.

166
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: You want to do it right now. We got something

167
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: for you. We were gonna do it at the end,

168
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: but I want to do it right now. Y'all. When

169
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: I tell you to text everybody you know and to

170
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 1: tweet this link to everybody who follows you, and to

171
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: put this on Facebook to all of your politically opinionated friends,

172
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: just to let them know that Jesus is the name

173
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 1: above all names, let me tell you something now, y'all.

174
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: Calm down, give me a moment to set this up properly.

175
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 1: I need something soft, Like it's Saturday, and like we're

176
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 1: wondering what to do in between, and the silence of

177
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 1: Saturday is starting to set in. And on Saturday you

178
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: can't do anything because it's the Sabbath, and so you

179
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: have to just wait. And just hours ago, you didn't

180
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: sleep much last night because it was hard to get

181
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: the images out of your mind of how they beat

182
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: the one that you believed in, how they broke his bones,

183
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: how they lashed his back. Most of all, you heard

184
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: the cry ELOI love a sybotany, My God, my God,

185
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: why have you forsaken me? But when he said it

186
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: is finished, it was the last thing he said before Saturday.

187
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,439
Speaker 1: And when they heard that it is finished from the

188
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: cross what Jesus said on Friday, many interpreted it. In fact,

189
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: most interpreted it like is over. Some of us feel

190
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: that way right now, life as we know it is over.

191
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: Maybe you're sitting here today saying my business is over.

192
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: I lost my job. Many of you are sick right

193
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 1: now and feel like this is the end for you,

194
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: and you're just tuning in today, hoping, hoping. Hoping. Is

195
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: hard to hope when you don't hear anything. You know,

196
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: just like Mary and Martha, who lived in Bethany, who

197
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 1: are a big part of the ministry of Jesus, sent

198
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 1: word to him the one that you love is sick.

199
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 1: That was their brother Lazarus. His name literally means one

200
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: who God helps. Embedded in his name is the expectation

201
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: that Jesus, who loved him, would come and heal him.

202
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: And yet these unmat expectations, these Saturday situations, these are

203
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: we going to find a cure for this? Are we

204
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 1: going to ever be what we were? Again? That's Saturday,

205
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: the part we want to skip past His Saturday, the

206
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: part where we want God to shout but we don't

207
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 1: even hear a whisper. When this global pandemic began, I

208
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: told the Lord in my heart, than anything he gave

209
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: us as a ministry during this time, we would release

210
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: it immediately, that we would release it, and so release

211
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: what God has put in us so that we can

212
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: receive what God has for us. Release and receive, Release

213
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: and receive. And it's hard to let go. It's hard

214
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: to accept something that's gone away. It's hard to accept

215
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: that maybe your kids won't go back to school this year.

216
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: And you're like, that's not hard for me to accept. Well,

217
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: if you're having to homeschool them, it is. Right now,

218
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: you'd be like, it's like Saturday every day. Okay, it's

219
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: like Saturday every day, And when your kids are little

220
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: and you're trying to deal with that, it may not

221
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: feel like the end of the world, but it's still

222
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: a Saturday. I found out something about Saturday. It's a setup.

223
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: I found out something about Saturday. It's a setup. And

224
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, on a Saturday, I started

225
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: texting Chris this melody that had come into my mind

226
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: or my heart or my spirit the night before, and

227
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: we start group texting with a friend of ours named Brandon,

228
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: and the sound that started to come forth just unfolded, unfolded, evolved,

229
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: evolved and grew and grew, and last Sunday, when Holly

230
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: finished preaching that amazing message on the ways of God,

231
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: trading my worries for His ways, something told me to

232
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: come out on this stage and finish the song. Well,

233
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: what I didn't know is that God was using those

234
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: moments to release a sound of resurrection. And this is

235
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: a different kind of Easter. Right Normally, right about now

236
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: here would come up pulpit and then we would stand

237
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: for the reading of God's Word. But God said, We're

238
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: going to do it different today all over the world.

239
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: What we're going to do right now is released the

240
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: sound of Sunday, the rattle of resurrection, into the silence

241
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: of Saturday. And I want you to move everything off

242
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: your coffee table that could be knocked over, because right

243
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: now we are going to declare, like Ezekiel looking over

244
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: the valley at dry bones, breathless bones, hopeless situation exiles,

245
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: declare the word of the Lord. This is what God says.

246
00:16:28,360 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: God says live not here started in side? Surely suit,

247
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:19,680

Speaker 1: upon me, and I saw a valley full of bones

299
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 1: that were very dry. Ezekiel said that the Lord asked

300

Speaker 1: me a question, son of man, can these bones again?

301

00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,479
Speaker 1: For some of you who are on the front lines

306
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: fighting for the rest of us. I don't know how

307
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: I'm going to get the energy to face another day.

308
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know how I'm going to

309
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: innovate and put my business back together. I don't really know.

310
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: In fact, he said, you alone, Lord, No, that's Saturday.

311
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: But something started happening when the word of the Lord

312
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: came to Ezekiel, and I believe the word of the

313
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: Lord is coming to you today. The word of the

314
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: Lord came to Ezekiel, and he gave them an instruction.

315
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: He said, Ezekiel, I know you don't understand. I know

316
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: you can't explain it. And I know what you're looking

317
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 1: at right now looks like bones on the valley of

318
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: the floor. That's what your life might look like right now.

319
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: That's what your mind might look like right now. Just

320
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: disjoin it, discombobulated. I don't know what to do. Remember

321
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: what Mary and Martha said to Jesus after he finally

322
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 1: had the nerve to show up four days late. Where

323
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 1: were you at when we sent for you? We didn't

324
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 1: hear back from you. God, I prayed, and might didn't

325
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: feel anything. And it's really amazing, And yeah, I am

326
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 1: sweating like an Olympic athlete in this leather jacket, but

327
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:48,120
Speaker 1: I hear the sound right now. Well, Jesus didn't send

328
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 1: back a message because he was the Word in the beginning,

329
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 1: was the Word, and the Word was made flesh. So

330
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 1: when the word of God shows up to a desperate situation,

331
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: does not matter how dead it seems. I feel the

332
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: presence of God in this empty room today. I since

333
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 1: the presence of God flowing to people's emotions. Today. I

334
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: since the presence of God. You say, the presence of

335
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: God isn't a feeling, Well, it's not a feeling, but

336
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 1: it will give you a feeling if you let this

337
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: get in your heart and in your soul, past your

338
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: mind where you're trying to figure it out. So listen

339
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: to this. It's so powerful. And I'm going off of

340
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: my memory here, but it was something like, he said,

341
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 1: Son of Man, this is what you say to those bones.

342
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: God says, Live, God says li. God God said, Lived said,

343
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: I believe the word of the Lord to you today

344
00:26:56,160 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 1: is this live Live. When the word of the Lord

345
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 1: hit those dry bones, they had no choice but to

346
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 1: stand up straight. I wish you would stand up straight.

347
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 1: Right now, stand up straight and begin to clap your

348
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 1: hands all over the world. This is the word of

00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:28,200

00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:36,760

Speaker 1: this time. The jobs, they say, it's ways. Make it

Speaker 1: chat on this Resurrection Sunday where we celebrate not only

361
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: that he was resurrected, but that he is resurrection. Do

362
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 1: you know that he still is? And I want you

363
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: to put that in the chat right now? He still is, y'all.

364
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: I prepared five sermons for this Easter Sunday, and I

365
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: just decided to preach all five. He still is, he said,

366
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: I am the Bread of life. And he still is.

367
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: He said, I am the good Shepherd, and he still is.

368
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: He's leading me and guiding me. Even like Holly said,

369
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: through the Valley of the Shadow of Death is just

370
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: a shadow. The light still shines. He still is. We

371
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 1: declare it. He still is. He said that he was,

372
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: He said that he was the Way, the Truth, and

373
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 1: the Light. He still is. I am, He still is.

374
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: I am just like he was for Moses, just like

375
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: he was for Joseph, just like he was for Shadrack,

376
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: just like he was for Daniel, just like he was

377
00:30:55,160 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: for Abraham. He still is just like he was. He is,

378
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: he still is. And so the decision we have to make,

379
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: you'll be nice back there. I hear the rattling and

380
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: it's about to make me kick over the MIC's stand

381
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 1: or something like that. Come on, this is a different day, man.

382
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 1: People need hope. It's like pastor where's your past? Else?

383
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: This is a different kind of Eastern We came today

384
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 1: to declare, live to your life. Resurrection isn't always pretty.

385
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 1: The power of the Lord is coming to your bones,

386
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: Come into your mind, come into your will. You will

387
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: not give up. It will not end in death before

412
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: half expected Joey to get up on a stack of

Speaker 1: know one thing that the stone at the tomb and

417
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: the bones in the valley had in common. When God

418
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: said live, they both started to shake. Come on, I

Speaker 1: you know what, we can sit in our houses and

429
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 1: be in mourning like he's still dead, like his Friday,

430
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: or we can acknowledge the fact it's still Sunday. So

Speaker 1: no matter what happens in my situation, Abby, I can live. Hey,

432
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 1: I'm about to mess up all the Baptists because I'm

433
00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: about to hit a tongue. I'm about to hit a

434
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 1: run of ungs. I'm gonna start speaking in every language

435
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: on the screen. I'm telling you right now, you'll be polite.

436
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 1: It's Easter. It's Easter. Then you know you're supposed to

437
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: be bored on Easter. It's not like you have anything

438
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 1: to be excited about. Well, anyway, what I was going

439
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 1: to tell you, Lucilla, what I was going to tell you, Martha.

440
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,439
Speaker 1: I love the people who told their aunt to watch

441
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 1: elevation today. It's like it'll be very nice. It'd be

442
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 1: a nice service in a communion or something like that. Well,

443
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 1: we are having communion. This is communion. This is a

444
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: moment of celebration where we just for about fifty seven good,

445
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: holy spirit filled, sanctified minutes, just celebrate that He still is.

446
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: So here's what happened. Okay, I gotta give you this.

447
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 1: I've had a promise. We're about to close. I think

448
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: I don't really care. There's nobody waiting to get in

449
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 1: the building. It's not like YouTube has a mac seating capacity.

450
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 1: It's not like Facebook has an overflow room. Let's just

451
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:07,320
Speaker 1: have church, all right. So y'all are like, where's the sermon.

452
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 1: This is the sermon, this is the sound. Resurrection is

453
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: not an intellectual proposition. Resurrection is a present tense reality.

454
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: So here's how I know that. Okay, Lazarus the one

455
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: who God helps. This is Jesus' greatest miracle other than

456
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 1: that fold his own linens. When he gets up from

457
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: his own grave and come out with the keys of death,

458
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 1: hell and the grave thing, that was pretty good. But

459
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 1: this is the one that set the stage for resurrection.

460
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 1: Somebody say in the chat, I'm expecting a resurrection now.

461
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: When Lazarus died and Jesus did not send a message

462
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 1: back to the sisters, it would have been easy to

463
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:55,840
Speaker 1: assume that his silence indicated his absence. Okay, God's silence.

464
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: What I mean by that, when you don't feel God,

465
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 1: or when you don't know what to do, or you

466
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:02,840
Speaker 1: can't figure out, you don't have a sense of direction,

467
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean he's gone. He still is. So when

468
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:12,240
Speaker 1: Jesus showed up and they were like, you know Martha

469
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: was the first one out the house because she was

470
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 1: an enneagram. What's the one I ate? The challenger was

471
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:20,760
Speaker 1: a well Martha could flip all between all the different

472
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: enneagrams because one moment she was coming up to him like,

473
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 1: you know what, if you would have been here, my

474
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:33,360
Speaker 1: brother wouldn't have died. And I wonder sometimes do we

475
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 1: get crucified on that cross of what we thought God

476
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: was going to do, thought you would come. I thought

477
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 1: I was going to have a normal wedding. So many

478
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 1: people come in on my social media accounts pray for

479
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 1: me because this is my son's senior year, and he

480
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 1: worked hard. He started out. One person told me he

481
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 1: started out with a two point three gpa and he

482
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 1: was going to graduate. And so now the graduation is

483
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: going to be kind of anti climac, going to be

484
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 1: flipping a tassel on the sofa and it's not very cool.

485
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:09,320
Speaker 1: It's no fun. Like Holly is having her birthday and

486
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 1: I'm not going to tell you which one. That's up

487
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: to her to tell you, but it's a significant one.

488
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: Might be twenty, might be thirty, might be forty. It's

489
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 1: one of those round numbers. And we had this whole

490
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: thing planned, and she's like, oh man, it sounds small

491
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 1: because so many people are suffering so much more. I

492
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: know it's not a big deal. But even in the

493
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 1: small ways, don't you know that that unat expectation can

494
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 1: turn into resentment. So if it's resentment or if it's regret,

495
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: it's like Martha and Mary saying, Lord, if you had

496
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: been here, this wouldn't happen. God, why couldn't you keep

497
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: this sickness away? Or why couldn't you keep it from

498
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: ending this poorly? And it's amazing because Jesus had just

499
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: finished telling his disciples this sickness will not end in death.

500
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:55,919
Speaker 1: And then it did, and then it did. Sometimes it does,

501
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 1: sometimes it does her. Sometimes people do leave you. Sometimes

502
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: it does get tougher. Happens to all of us. But

503
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: here's what I want you to get in your spirit today, Okay,

504
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: And if you want to put this in the chat

505
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: or just say it out loud, even if it does,

506
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: even if it does, even if it does, he still is.

507
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 1: He's still with you, He's still for you. Not on

508
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 1: the basis of circumstance, but on the basis of faith.

509
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 1: I can say I expect a resurrection. And I just

510
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: joined my faith with you today, not in a weird

511
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 1: way where I send you some kind of like cloth

512
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 1: in the mail or anything like that, but just by

513
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 1: connecting our faith. Right now, I expect a resurrection. Yet

514
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 1: I know that the only way to get to resurrection

515
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 1: is to accept death. And that's what I was saying

516
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:03,439
Speaker 1: on Friday, on Good Friday, is that before Jesus could

517
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: show up and call Lazarus from the grave, because he

518
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 1: already had in mind what he was going to do,

519
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:10,439
Speaker 1: he was just trying to show them something new about

520
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 1: who he was. That's what he's doing in your life

521
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: right now. He's showing you how deep his comfort runs.

522
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:20,359
Speaker 1: It's beneath feelings, it's beneath facts, it's beneath logic, it's

523
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 1: beyond it. So when he spoke to the sisters and

524
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:27,919
Speaker 1: they were still thinking about the past, what God could

525
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,800
Speaker 1: have done, and I know, I know you're there sometimes

526
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 1: I am to God. If you would have just would

527
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 1: if you would have just That's what she said. And

528
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 1: then Jesus said, your brother will rise again, God says live.

529
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:44,839
Speaker 1: And then the sister was like, well, I know he will.

530
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,320
Speaker 1: On the last day, she was thinking about the eschatological

531
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 1: implications of the resurrection. She was thinking about, Well, I

532
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 1: know it's going to be all right when I get

533
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 1: to heaven. You know that song from church, when we

534
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 1: all get to heaven. What a day of rejoicing that

535
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 1: will be when we all get to heaven. But we're

536
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 1: not in heaven right now. Sometimes our life feels like

537
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 1: a sort of purgatory where God's plan and our plan

538
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 1: have no synchronicity. What's going to happen about your job?

539
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 1: We were talking about that this week. This is real stuff.

540
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 1: So resurrection has to be real to me. It can't

541
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: just be what Jesus did, that's the past two thousand

542
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 1: years ago. That's not the only thing that resurrection means

543
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 1: to me. It can't just be about you know, my

544
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 1: sins are forgiven, thank God they are, and I'm going

545
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:29,879
Speaker 1: to heaven one day when I die, and thank God

546
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 1: I am. But it can't just be about that. Faith

547
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 1: can't just be in the future, and purpose can't be

548
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 1: stuck in the past. So what has to happen is

549
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:44,280
Speaker 1: what Jesus said to the sister when he gave the revelation.

550
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 1: Are you ready for this? This is resurrection? Are you

551
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 1: ready for resurrection because some of us are refusing right

552
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 1: now to accept what was taken away and what changed.

553
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: So we have lost our ability to expect what God

554
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 1: is going to do next, and we can't deal with

555
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 1: what is because we're still thinking about what should have been,

556
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 1: could have been, would have been, or what will be.

557
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: Like the Woman of God preached last Sunday, things that

558
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 1: haven't even happened yet. And yet Jesus said the greatest revelation,

559
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: not I am the Bread of life. They knew that

560
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 1: they saw him feed the five thousand, Not I am

561
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:28,880
Speaker 1: the good Shepherd. They had seen him lead them throughout

562
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 1: a three year tenure around the Sea of Galilee and

563
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: all the places that he minister. But he went much

564
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 1: deeper this time. The seventh of the I Am Statements

565
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 1: of Jesus, he said, I am resurrection. Get it right.

566
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 1: I do resurrection because he was going to raise Lazarus

567
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 1: from the dead. And he does resurrection because he was

568
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 1: going to get up himself. Lazarus was the opening app

569
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:04,359
Speaker 1: Do you understand that Lazarus was just getting the EQ right.

570
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:11,440
Speaker 1: Jesus said, I am resurrection. I am This is not

571
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 1: a note taking sermon. Really, this is a sermon for

572
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:20,839
Speaker 1: you to receive the resurrection power of Jesus Christ by

573
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit. And when he said I am resurrection,

574
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 1: what he said next was so important. Are you listening

575
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 1: to this? Aj, Let's put this down in the book.

576
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 1: He said. He said, take me to the place where

577
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:37,840
Speaker 1: you laid him. That's where we've got to go, the

578
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 1: place where we were disappointed. Now on Good Friday, I

579
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,880
Speaker 1: showed you how the first person do you remember, the

580
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 1: first person that Jesus appeared to when he was resurrected,

581
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 1: was not Peter, who was the preacher. It was not Matthew,

582
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:58,839
Speaker 1: the tax collector, all of these people that we call

583
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:04,800
Speaker 1: the disciples. He showed himself. Do you remember Mary, Mary

584
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 1: from Magdala, out of whom he had cast seven demons.

585
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:12,439
Speaker 1: He had done a lot for her, and in turn,

586
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:15,400
Speaker 1: she had done a lot for him. And I love how.

587
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:18,800
Speaker 1: Gimme Mark, Yeah, Mark, Chapter sixteen, verse nine. You've already

588
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 1: got it ready. Somebody say, I'm ready, I'm ready. I'm ready.

589
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 1: I'm ready. I'm ready, I'm ready. I'm ready. I don't

590
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 1: know what God is going to do, but I'm ready.

591
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 1: I'm ready. He's with me. I'm ready. I'm ready to

592
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 1: see how God is going to reveal himself. I'm ready.

593
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:35,360
Speaker 1: So when Jesus rose early on the first day of

594
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 1: the week, he appeared first to marry Magdalene, out of

595
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 1: whom he had driven seven demons. I love that the

596
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:47,279
Speaker 1: first one that he showed himself to was the one

597
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 1: who had the most dysfunction. If we come to Jesus

598
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:55,359
Speaker 1: full of pride, we can't experience his power. But if

599
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 1: we're saying today, I need your presence God, I'm an

600
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 1: empty vessel. He will fill that empty vessel with his

601
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:07,279
Speaker 1: presence and power. So he showed himself first to Mary.

602
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 1: And at first I thought maybe it was because she

603
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:12,359
Speaker 1: was wealthy, because history tells us she was a very

604
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:16,320
Speaker 1: wealthy woman. But now I think the reason that she

605
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:19,479
Speaker 1: was the first to witness his resurrection on Sunday morning.

606
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:23,760
Speaker 1: Check this out, John, I think it's because she fully

607
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:29,800
Speaker 1: accepted his death. If you will remember Peter and the

608
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:35,359
Speaker 1: other disciples, they resisted the idea that Jesus was going

609
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:38,440
Speaker 1: to be crucified. They wanted things to stay the way

610
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:40,759
Speaker 1: they were. Oh if you would have been here, Oh

611
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 1: you should do this, This is what you should do.

612
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 1: This is what you should have done. But Mary, Mary Magdalene,

613
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 1: with some of the other women, look what she did

614
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 1: on Friday. The Bible says in Mark chapter fifteen, verse

615
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:00,880
Speaker 1: forty six, that when Joseph brought some linen cloth and

616
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 1: took down the body and wrapped it in the linen

617
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:05,359
Speaker 1: and placed it in a tomb cut out of a rock.

618
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 1: Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb.

619
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:15,800
Speaker 1: They rolled a stone, and so on resurrection Sunday. It

620
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:18,400
Speaker 1: comes as no surprise. Look at the next verse that

621
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 1: Mary Magdalene and the mother of josephs saw where he

622
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:27,279
Speaker 1: was laid. I get ready to get happy. Okay, are

623
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 1: you all happy? I'm not saying is is life perfect?

624
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:32,840
Speaker 1: I'm saying, are you happy on the inside to know

625
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 1: that you have resurrection power? All right? Check this out?

626
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:36,839
Speaker 1: I love it. I love it. I love it. Okay.

627
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:39,919
Speaker 1: It says that she saw where he was laid, where

628
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:46,040
Speaker 1: they rolled the stone. That same stone that they rolled

629
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:50,759
Speaker 1: when he was dead was the same stone she saw

630
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 1: on Sunday that revealed his resurrection power. It was the

631
00:46:56,600 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 1: same stone on Friday that they roll to say it's over.

632
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 1: He's dead. There's no hope for you. Is over. Lazarus

633
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:10,400
Speaker 1: is dead. By this time. He's thinking, there's maggots already.

634
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:14,440
Speaker 1: It's bad, it's bad. But God said, tell the maggot

635
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 1: stop eating his body, because when resurrection comes, everything is reversed.

636
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 1: And the same stone that they rolled to keep him

637
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 1: in the grave, I hear the sound of the rental

638
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 1: of resurrection, speaking to your spirit, speaking to your joy,

639
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 1: speaking to your peace. Lazarus Cook fussed, he is not here.

640
00:47:42,920 --> 00:48:01,280
Speaker 1: He is resid. My God is ab said, even didn't

641
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:08,440
Speaker 1: live for many years, and restore any thing that I want.

642
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 1: Somebody telling the stone to disess the family, but tell

643
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:21,399
Speaker 1: me lies and Defairsny think that he can't. He says,

644
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:26,719
Speaker 1: that's the stachouses stuff. What happens when God's faded too,

645
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:35,400
Speaker 1: and what happens when God sends stores time. Sir, I

646
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:40,920
Speaker 1: feel it, Boomy, I feel it too, mad it do

647
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:46,719
Speaker 1: It's good feeling too. M do it now, gotta do it.

648
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:55,880
Speaker 1: He sees the town on the table, time, he sees

649
00:48:56,000 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 1: the place they can take me again. I'm coming out.

650
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:32,279
Speaker 1: I'm coming out of this. I'm coming out. Job. Thank

651
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 1: you Jesus, We thank you for your power at work

652
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 1: within us. L J. Minister right here right now. The

653
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:49,840
Speaker 1: resurrection is a reality, not a history lesson. Yes, he

654
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:53,279
Speaker 1: got up. It's not a metaphor, but it is a

655
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:57,719
Speaker 1: miracle that is available to all who will believe. Now

656
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 1: listen to me. We can shout a lot and it's

657
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:04,240
Speaker 1: cool and it's great and it's right and it's fine.

658
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:08,320
Speaker 1: I feel fourteen years old again today. I'll tell you

659
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 1: right now, this is what my punk rock self always

660
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 1: wanted to preach like that, just to tell you dry bones,

661
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 1: hear the word of the Lord. I don't understand why

662
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:20,440
Speaker 1: the world has the worst message and they scream at

663
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:25,360
Speaker 1: the loudest and we have the best message in me coming. No,

664
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:29,080
Speaker 1: this is our day. This is resurrection day, even in

665
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:32,719
Speaker 1: our homes. It's a resurrection in your home. So I

666
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:36,080
Speaker 1: just want to know today, what do you need to

667
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:39,720
Speaker 1: accept in this season? Just think about this, just reflect.

668
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 1: We'll call this. We had the rattle of resurrection, but

669
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:46,239
Speaker 1: now let's have a moment of resurrection reflection. Come on,

670
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:48,279
Speaker 1: I got range. I can bring it way up or

671
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:50,719
Speaker 1: way down. So right now, I just want us to talk,

672
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:54,800
Speaker 1: just us, okay, and again, if you just tell me

673
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:58,400
Speaker 1: a first name and where you're watching from. Holly I

674
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:01,840
Speaker 1: got ninety text messages on my phone. I didn't know

675
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 1: ninety people had my number. Praise the Lord, Tom Scott,

676
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 1: your sister Emily texted me. She texted me Rattle of

677
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:14,880
Speaker 1: Resurrection with a snake emoji. I'm just kidding about the snake,

678
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:18,240
Speaker 1: but she did text me the Rattle of Resurrection. Levi Lusco,

679
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 1: Tom Layman. Tom knows about resurrection. Yeah, Tom knows about resurrection.

680
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:28,959
Speaker 1: Tom and Lisa know about resurrection. That's one thing about

681
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:32,719
Speaker 1: this Easter. You know, Tom and Lisa are fam here

682
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 1: at the church knows and our worldwide fam hasn't met

683
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:37,719
Speaker 1: them yet, but you will. They've been in the church

684
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:41,000
Speaker 1: so long and they lost their teenage son here on

685
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:43,480
Speaker 1: this earth. This was before you were here. Zeke at

686
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 1: the church in twenty twelve, and through his life a

687
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:53,000
Speaker 1: ministry has been birth called Riley's Catch. And Riley loved

688
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 1: to fish and he wanted to start a fishing club.

689
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:57,920
Speaker 1: And then his life was taken too soon in a

690
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:02,000
Speaker 1: car accident on the tenth night of our twelve night

691
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:08,440
Speaker 1: cod Orange Revival. And nothing in the world that his

692
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:10,560
Speaker 1: dad and mom wouldn't give to bring him back. But

693
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:14,479
Speaker 1: sometimes sometimes you don't get it back in the same form.

694
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:18,680
Speaker 1: But God is always bringing something forth. And that's what

695
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:23,439
Speaker 1: Tom told me when I preached for Riley's memorial. He said,

696
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:27,400
Speaker 1: we got to start that fishing club for him. I

697
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:31,000
Speaker 1: will make you fishers of men. And then they started

698
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:34,240
Speaker 1: inviting all of Riley's friends to join the fishing club.

699
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:39,400
Speaker 1: And they've seen hundreds of them except Christ. That's resurrection.

700
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:43,239
Speaker 1: You understand what I'm saying. So when we preach this,

701
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:46,120
Speaker 1: it's like, hey, man, are you in La La Land?

702
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:48,279
Speaker 1: Do you not watch the news? No? I check it.

703
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:51,359
Speaker 1: I don't watch it all day. Okay, If I watch

704
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:53,359
Speaker 1: it all day, I'm gonna be filled with worry all day.

705
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:56,319
Speaker 1: If I watch it all day, I'm gonna end up

706
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:59,239
Speaker 1: eating seventeen slices of cake to try to cancel out

707
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:03,080
Speaker 1: what I've feeling my nervous system and so my waistline

708
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:06,600
Speaker 1: can't afford to just watch the news all day. Even

709
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:09,800
Speaker 1: this Easter is the first one without Shiz, because he

710
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:12,400
Speaker 1: would sit over there where there's nobody in the building.

711
00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:18,279
Speaker 1: Right now, he's not here. He's not here, and we

712
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:20,880
Speaker 1: lost Lashan way too soon, and I'm still not over that.

713
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:24,800
Speaker 1: He was helping my son learn how to make music,

714
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 1: and to my son, Chiz was like the angel Gabriel,

715
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:32,800
Speaker 1: and it would even make me mad. He'd be like,

716
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:34,800
Speaker 1: Chiz says this, and Chiz says that he'd come on,

717
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:36,759
Speaker 1: I'd be like, I told you all that too, But

718
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:40,440
Speaker 1: when Chiz said it, he just said it better. And

719
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:43,440
Speaker 1: the fact that Jad in April, you know watching right now,

720
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:50,960
Speaker 1: we love you. Lashan still lives. Chiz still lives because

721
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:55,439
Speaker 1: God is resurrection. He is, He's not sitting in that seat.

722
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:58,200
Speaker 1: I was texting him last Easter because it was Coachella

723
00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:02,239
Speaker 1: and Kanye was up there doing this amazing, amazing thing

724
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:04,799
Speaker 1: that ended up being bigger than any of us knew,

725
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:07,759
Speaker 1: and we were talking about how God is blurring the

726
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:10,080
Speaker 1: lines between, you know, all of these distinctions we have

727
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:12,799
Speaker 1: Black church and white church, and how God is doing

728
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:16,040
Speaker 1: a new thing and he was supposed to be here

729
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:23,319
Speaker 1: to see what we're experiencing today. But he still lives.

730
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:27,239
Speaker 1: His life is going to live on in such a

731
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 1: powerful way because He still is resurrection. And it's only

732
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:39,000
Speaker 1: after April and Jet and Tom and Lisa have stood

733
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:43,560
Speaker 1: at the tomb and watch the stone be rolled that

734
00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:46,719
Speaker 1: we can expect the resurrection on the other side. I

735
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:52,440
Speaker 1: feel the presence of the Lord. Come into your situation,

736
00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:58,839
Speaker 1: Come into your valley, Come into your dry bones. You've

737
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:06,080
Speaker 1: been weary, you've been worried. That's all right. He still

738
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:11,279
Speaker 1: is Prince of Peace. He still is. He still is.

739
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 1: And Jesus said, in a loud voice, I'm not going

740
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:20,800
Speaker 1: to do it now. But he hollered. He said, Lazarus,

741
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:25,120
Speaker 1: come forth. I believe God has calling some things for today.

742
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:32,279
Speaker 1: The only way to expect resurrection is to fully accept death.

743
00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:36,359
Speaker 1: So what is God calling you to accept today? Maybe

744
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:41,719
Speaker 1: it's uncertainty. Maybe you control freak you you're having to acknowledge.

745
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 1: I don't know what to do. I can't manipulate this.

746
00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 1: I can't fix this. Okay, you know what the moment

747
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:57,120
Speaker 1: you accept that expect resurrection, the moment you accept the

748
00:55:57,239 --> 00:56:00,200
Speaker 1: pain and don't try to shove it down. Marian Mark like,

749
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:04,640
Speaker 1: we can't roll the stone away. It stinks in there. God.

750
00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:06,920
Speaker 1: I can't be honest. I don't have it together. God,

751
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:09,320
Speaker 1: I can't believe in you. I have so much doubt.

752
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 1: Here's what I love about it. Sometimes God asks you

753
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:19,000
Speaker 1: to roll your own stone away. That's just opening up

754
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:23,800
Speaker 1: your heart to receive resurrection. I want to pray with

755
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:28,160
Speaker 1: you right now. If you know somebody who's going through

756
00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:34,239
Speaker 1: a silent Saturday right now, maybe you want to send

757
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:35,920
Speaker 1: him a link and say, I want you to watch this.

758
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:39,600
Speaker 1: It's gonna rebroadcast several times, and I don't even know

759
00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:42,480
Speaker 1: if we'll put it online after that, because honestly, I

760
00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:44,560
Speaker 1: don't know where the message starts and ends. But right now,

761
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:46,839
Speaker 1: I want to pray with you now. I just want

762
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:51,239
Speaker 1: to believe God with you for resurrection. Here's what I've learned.

763
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:53,520
Speaker 1: I learned it from Lazarus. I learned it from Mary Magdalen,

764
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 1: who stood at the tomb, and because she faced Friday,

765
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:01,960
Speaker 1: she got to see him on side. Thank you Lord,

766
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:05,800
Speaker 1: Thank you Lord. I'm going to see him on Sunday.

767
00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:11,760
Speaker 1: The beautiful thing about it is that, just like Jesus

768
00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 1: called Lazarus for, he's always bringing something for it. I

769
00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 1: believe He's using this time in some of our lives

770
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 1: to set us free from the wrong priorities, helping us

771
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:28,560
Speaker 1: to do the math on what really matters, helping us

772
00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:31,760
Speaker 1: to realize that we're in this together and we are

773
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:36,280
Speaker 1: not independent. I believe God's going to bring something forth Lazarus,

774
00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:38,840
Speaker 1: come forth, dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.

775
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:43,720
Speaker 1: Ask the stone what happens when God says to move?

776
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:46,959
Speaker 1: And I want to pray for you right now, because listen,

777
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:49,680
Speaker 1: here's the whole message. If you're like I didn't like

778
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:53,280
Speaker 1: all that holler and screaming and jumping around about the bones.

779
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:55,400
Speaker 1: It was kind of scary there. I wanted to hear

780
00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:57,400
Speaker 1: because he lives, and I was going to hear that

781
00:57:57,560 --> 00:57:59,960
Speaker 1: on the Easter sermon. That's great. I like the him too.

782
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:06,040
Speaker 1: But here's what God said today. Unmet expectation is the

783
00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:13,320
Speaker 1: starting point of resurrection. Unmet expectation is the starting point

784
00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:19,920
Speaker 1: of resurrection. Right there in the chat, I expect resurrection.

785
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:25,000
Speaker 1: I expect him. So first of all, take your hands

786
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:29,520
Speaker 1: like this and say, God, I'm letting go. I'm letting

787
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:31,560
Speaker 1: go of what I thought my life was supposed to be.

788
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:34,480
Speaker 1: I'm letting go of the plans that I made for

789
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:37,360
Speaker 1: you know, the plans that you have for me, Plans

790
00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:38,960
Speaker 1: to prosper me, not the harmony, give me hope in

791
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:43,160
Speaker 1: the future Jeremiah twenty nine to eleven. Plans to do

792
00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:45,440
Speaker 1: exceeding abundantly above all that I ask or imagine according

793
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:47,160
Speaker 1: to your power that works mightily in us, the same

794
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:49,760
Speaker 1: power that raised Jesus from the dead Ephesians three twenty

795
00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:53,720
Speaker 1: Now unto him who is able to save and deliver,

796
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:59,000
Speaker 1: and heal and restore anything. We thank you Lord for

797
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:03,800
Speaker 1: resurrection power. But the first step to resurrection, we know

798
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:09,360
Speaker 1: is release. So take your hands like this. Don't be stubborn,

799
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:14,520
Speaker 1: stop fixing cereal, You're not starving. Take your hands like this.

800
00:59:19,080 --> 00:59:26,400
Speaker 1: Release Lord. I release the way I thought it should be.

801
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:34,760
Speaker 1: I release the calendar that I made. I released the

802
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:37,520
Speaker 1: way I expected to be at this age or stage.

803
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:42,720
Speaker 1: I release the way that I thought you were. You're

804
00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:45,600
Speaker 1: more than I thought you were. You're not just the

805
00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:48,720
Speaker 1: bread of life. You're not just the good shepherd. You're

806
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:53,840
Speaker 1: not just the way you are resurrection. You're not just

807
00:59:53,960 --> 01:00:02,040
Speaker 1: the light. You are the life. Live. Receive life, come

808
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 1: breadth from the four winds all over the world. Right now,

809
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:11,680
Speaker 1: breathe under people. Live, Live, Live, Live, Speak to your hope, Live,

810
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:17,000
Speaker 1: speak to your purpose. Live. I speak to the legacy

811
01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:19,840
Speaker 1: of those that you've lost. Live it lives on. Resurrection

812
01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:28,160
Speaker 1: is real. Resurrection is right now. He still is, He

813
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:32,080
Speaker 1: still rolls stones, He still forgive sins. He still saves.

814
01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:38,400
Speaker 1: And now that you've released it, receive it. Come on,

815
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:43,400
Speaker 1: receive it, Receive it. Receive that healing for your broken heart.

816
01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:50,320
Speaker 1: Receive that comfort in the midst of your chaos. Receive

817
01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:55,560
Speaker 1: that confidence in the midst of your uncertainty. Receive it.

818
01:00:58,760 --> 01:01:02,080
Speaker 1: You know, the scripture says to as many as received him,

819
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:04,560
Speaker 1: he gave the rights to become a children, the children

820
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:09,480
Speaker 1: of God. And I believe there's someone right now that

821
01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:13,680
Speaker 1: God has you watching this because this is a moment

822
01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:20,120
Speaker 1: for your resurrection. His already happened. He doesn't need to rise.

823
01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:25,120
Speaker 1: You do. And I came out here today expecting, not

824
01:01:25,240 --> 01:01:29,960
Speaker 1: knowing what to expect, but expecting that many hundreds, if

825
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:33,800
Speaker 1: not thousands, across the world hearing this message would place

826
01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:37,840
Speaker 1: their faith in Jesus Christ. It's the funny thing about trouble.

827
01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:45,360
Speaker 1: Trouble takes away all of our side pursuits and helps

828
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:47,160
Speaker 1: us to realize if I don't have God, I don't

829
01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:50,080
Speaker 1: have anything. But I don't have peace. I don't have anything.

830
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:53,120
Speaker 1: I can't depend on other things. I can't depend on

831
01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:56,880
Speaker 1: an economy. I can't even depend on my help. I

832
01:01:57,000 --> 01:02:01,800
Speaker 1: need the invisible God to become real in my life,

833
01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:04,640
Speaker 1: and right now I want to pray with you. We

834
01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:07,560
Speaker 1: do this every Sunday, but this one is special. This

835
01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:12,440
Speaker 1: one is for you, somebody who is ready to receive

836
01:02:12,520 --> 01:02:14,439
Speaker 1: the grace of God. I want you to pray out

837
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:17,240
Speaker 1: loud all over the world. Let's stop right now and

838
01:02:17,320 --> 01:02:20,280
Speaker 1: pray with those who are receiving Christ. The Bible says

839
01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:23,000
Speaker 1: that if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord,

840
01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:25,280
Speaker 1: and believe in your heart that God raised him from

841
01:02:25,320 --> 01:02:28,600
Speaker 1: the dead, you will be saved. It is by grace

842
01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:33,000
Speaker 1: through faith. Receive this gift right now, and I want

843
01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:36,800
Speaker 1: you to pray after me and invite Jesus Christ to

844
01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:43,840
Speaker 1: come into your life. Say this, Heavenly Father, today is

845
01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:49,520
Speaker 1: my day of resurrection. I am a sinner in need

846
01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:53,680
Speaker 1: of a savior. I give you my life. I believe

847
01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:59,200
Speaker 1: that Jesus Christ died for my sin, rose from the grave.

848
01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:05,160
Speaker 1: Give me life. I receive this new life. I am

849
01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:13,040
Speaker 1: a new creation. I am a child of God in Jesus' names. Amen,

850
01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:17,240
Speaker 1: if you just prayed that prayer to receive Christ, We're

851
01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:20,240
Speaker 1: gonna clap our hands, all eight of us on this stage.

852
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:23,320
Speaker 1: We're gonna clap our hands and play our instruments, and

853
01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:27,320
Speaker 1: I want you to put in the chat. I receive Jesus.

854
01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:31,920
Speaker 1: I receive Jesus. Come on right in the chat. I'm

855
01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:34,160
Speaker 1: gonna wait for you. I'm on the thirty second delay,

856
01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:39,200
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna wait. I receive salvation. This is my day,

857
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:46,920
Speaker 1: this is Easter, this is resurrection Sunday. I receive Jesus Christ.

858
01:03:47,880 --> 01:03:52,440
Speaker 1: I receive it. I receive it. Come on, I receive it.

859
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:57,440
Speaker 1: The angels in heaven are rejoicing because you received it.

860
01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:04,120
Speaker 1: I expect resurrections. Show He's making all things new. Come on,

Speaker 1: Holy Spirit. Come on in the restaurrection day. He got up.
