WEBVTT - Rick Warren - Oct 13 - 8:00 pm 0:00:02.430 --> 0:00:03.230 Hello, everybody. 0:00:03.450 --> 0:00:06.230 Thank you so much for joining us here on Pastor 0:00:06.250 --> 0:00:10.270 Rick's Daily Hope with Rick Warren. Well, today we're continuing 0:00:10.330 --> 0:00:14.790 in this timely series called Strategies for Stressful Times. In 0:00:14.840 --> 0:00:18.720 this series, Pastor Rick shares timeless truths from God's Word 0:00:18.900 --> 0:00:23.360 that will help you manage stress, overcome worry, and experience 0:00:23.440 --> 0:00:27.520 the peace and stability that only God can provide. And 0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:29.979 now let's jump in with part two of a message 0:00:30.040 --> 0:00:33.260 called How to Keep Your Tank Filled. instead of running 0:00:33.380 --> 0:00:33.879 on empty. 0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:37.779 What does Jesus have to say about all this? What 0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:40.280 does Jesus have to say when we come to him 0:00:40.800 --> 0:00:45.710 with an emptiness in our lives, an empty soul, an 0:00:45.770 --> 0:00:51.690 empty heart, empty of character? How does Jesus respond when 0:00:51.710 --> 0:00:56.290 you say, I got nothing to give? I'm all out 0:00:56.310 --> 0:01:00.330 of gas. I'm living on fumes. What does Jesus do 0:01:00.570 --> 0:01:03.150 when you come to him in your emptiness? Does he 0:01:03.210 --> 0:01:08.610 scold you? No. Does he judge you? No. Does he 0:01:08.670 --> 0:01:13.230 reprimand you? Say, oh, you should be full. No. In fact, 0:01:13.590 --> 0:01:17.709 he does the exact opposite. Jesus says this in Matthew 0:01:17.890 --> 0:01:20.290 chapter 11. Look at this. Matthew chapter 11, verses 28 0:01:20.290 --> 0:01:29.880 to 30. He says this. If you're tired, I would 0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:32.060 assume that includes a lot of people sitting here right 0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:35.100 now and those who are listening in Daily Hope. If 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:41.810 you're tired from carrying heavy burdens, come to me. Come 0:01:42.590 --> 0:01:46.870 to me. And I will give you a whole lot 0:01:46.890 --> 0:01:50.840 more to do. Oh no, that's not what he says. 0:01:51.820 --> 0:01:53.340 He doesn't say come to me and I'll give you 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:55.200 a whole bunch of new things to do. No, he 0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:58.720 says I will give you what? Rest. Anybody like that? 0:02:00.410 --> 0:02:02.730 That's what Jesus says when you come to him with 0:02:02.750 --> 0:02:06.730 your emptiness. Come to me and I will give you R-E-S-T. 0:02:06.970 --> 0:02:10.109 Now he's not talking about physical rest. You can get that. 0:02:10.990 --> 0:02:14.459 He's talking about emotional and spiritual rest. You can be 0:02:15.580 --> 0:02:21.660 physically rested and still feel empty inside. We're not talking 0:02:21.700 --> 0:02:25.280 about physical emptiness today. You know, the last two days, 0:02:25.300 --> 0:02:27.440 you know what I did? Each of our grandkids, when 0:02:27.460 --> 0:02:29.500 they turn 10, Kay and I take them on a 0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:32.290 10 on a two day trip to wherever they want 0:02:32.310 --> 0:02:35.950 to go in California. And it's on your 10th birthday. 0:02:36.050 --> 0:02:39.230 The last of our grandkids turned 10, Claire turned 10 0:02:39.230 --> 0:02:41.630 this week. And so we said, wherever you want to 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:43.880 go in California, some have gone to San Francisco, some 0:02:43.900 --> 0:02:46.940 have gone to Tahoe. Claire decided two days of Disneyland. 0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:53.019 I walked my tushy off for the last two days. 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:57.260 First day we walked 9.2 miles. I measured it over 0:02:57.260 --> 0:03:02.100 30,000 steps in Disneyland. We've been on every ride you 0:03:02.150 --> 0:03:05.750 can possibly imagine. And we were there for two days. 0:03:06.310 --> 0:03:10.510 I'll be honest with you guys. I'm tired today. But 0:03:10.550 --> 0:03:13.380 that doesn't have to do with my emotional state. It 0:03:13.460 --> 0:03:18.480 doesn't have to do with my mental or spiritual state. 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:21.780 I'm just tired. So thank you guys. Figure it all 0:03:21.820 --> 0:03:27.700 out on your own. Goodbye. No, no, you know, you 0:03:27.740 --> 0:03:31.870 can be physically tired, but not spiritually empty and not 0:03:32.150 --> 0:03:35.630 emotionally empty, or you could be physically fit. Some of 0:03:35.670 --> 0:03:38.950 you are physically fit. You look like it, but you're 0:03:38.970 --> 0:03:44.160 emotionally empty or you're spiritually empty. So Jesus, when he says, 0:03:44.220 --> 0:03:45.740 come to me and I'll give you rest, he's talking 0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:48.340 about rest for your soul. In fact, he says that 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:53.540 later in the passage. If you're tired of carrying heavy burdens, 0:03:54.340 --> 0:03:58.760 come to me and I will give you rest. Take 0:03:59.340 --> 0:04:04.520 my yoke upon you, then learn from me, for I'm 0:04:04.580 --> 0:04:08.880 gentle and humble in spirit, and you will find rest 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:13.560 for your soul. That's the refilling your tank. For the 0:04:13.620 --> 0:04:17.860 yoke I share with you is easy to wear, and 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:21.700 it makes the load light. The load is light. Now 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:23.820 I want you to circle, if you're taking notes, circle 0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:29.770 the word come, Circle the word take and circle the 0:04:29.810 --> 0:04:33.930 word learn. These are the first steps and we're gonna 0:04:34.010 --> 0:04:37.390 look at those steps on how to keep your tank filled. 0:04:37.730 --> 0:04:39.830 Take notes on this. Here are the steps that Jesus 0:04:39.890 --> 0:04:45.800 tells us what to do. Ready? Step number one, get 0:04:45.900 --> 0:04:50.200 fed up with how I've been feeling. Get fed up 0:04:52.180 --> 0:04:56.490 with how I've been feeling. Nothing is gonna change in 0:04:56.529 --> 0:05:01.110 your life until you get dissatisfied with it, dissatisfied with 0:05:01.150 --> 0:05:03.950 the way that you feel right now. You have to 0:05:04.010 --> 0:05:06.680 come to the point in your life, my friends, where 0:05:06.700 --> 0:05:11.159 you say, I'm not gonna live this way anymore. I've 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:15.980 had enough. I'm not gonna stay this way anymore. I'm 0:05:16.020 --> 0:05:20.370 going to change. I'm gonna do something about the way 0:05:20.550 --> 0:05:26.810 that I feel. Nothing happens until you get desperate. You see, 0:05:26.930 --> 0:05:31.390 it's just too easy to put up with everything you're 0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:36.220 going through even when you don't like it simply because 0:05:37.220 --> 0:05:41.400 it's familiar. It's uncomfortable. It may be even painful. It 0:05:41.460 --> 0:05:45.520 may be even empty. but it's familiar. So what is 0:05:45.580 --> 0:05:49.599 it that's going to cause you to finally get fed 0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:54.380 up with your current situation, your current circumstance, and the 0:05:54.460 --> 0:05:59.539 way that you've been feeling about it? I've talked to 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:02.900 thousands and thousands and thousands of people about this issue 0:06:04.060 --> 0:06:08.030 over the last 42 years of Saddleback Pastor. And I've 0:06:08.050 --> 0:06:11.570 discovered that there are only three times when people really, 0:06:11.810 --> 0:06:17.910 really change. Three things change people, pain, perspective, and no 0:06:17.970 --> 0:06:23.130 other choice. Pain, perspective, and no other choice. You're not 0:06:23.210 --> 0:06:26.630 gonna change the situation you're in. You're not gonna change 0:06:26.690 --> 0:06:29.250 the way you feel until you either have enough pain 0:06:29.850 --> 0:06:33.600 or you change your perspective or there's no other choice. Now, 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:37.140 let me show you just three Bible examples of what 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:42.380 I just said. First, Solomon. Solomon says this about pain. 0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:47.020 In Proverbs chapter 20, verse 27 and 30, he says this. 0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:52.789 The Lord gave us a conscience and a mind so 0:06:52.820 --> 0:06:55.730 we cannot hide from ourselves. I know when I'm in pain. 0:06:55.910 --> 0:07:00.010 I know when I'm empty. But he says, sometimes it 0:07:00.070 --> 0:07:03.710 takes a painful situation to make us change our ways. 0:07:04.029 --> 0:07:08.860 Everybody agree with that? Sometimes it takes a painful situation 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:11.930 to make us change our ways. You see, We don't 0:07:12.070 --> 0:07:15.880 change when we see the light. We change when we 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:20.060 feel the heat. And when the heat's on, we never 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:23.900 change until the fear of change is exceeded by the pain. 0:07:25.620 --> 0:07:30.210 And that's why you stay with situations and circumstances and 0:07:30.270 --> 0:07:33.470 stay even with the feelings of emptiness and dissatisfaction in 0:07:33.510 --> 0:07:36.250 your own life because you're not in enough pain yet. 0:07:37.500 --> 0:07:40.100 You haven't hit the bottom. It hadn't gotten that bad 0:07:40.140 --> 0:07:45.780 yet for you. And until you get so discomfortable, so dissatisfied, 0:07:46.370 --> 0:07:51.530 we only change when our pain is greater than the 0:07:51.550 --> 0:07:55.250 problem or the fear of change. So pain will cause 0:07:55.270 --> 0:07:59.390 you to change. Number two, we get this from the 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:02.960 story of the parable of Jesus' parable of the prodigal son. 0:08:03.330 --> 0:08:05.830 The story of the lost son. You remember that guy? 0:08:05.890 --> 0:08:07.890 He's a young kid and he says, dad, I want 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:11.540 my inheritance now. I'm leaving. And he leaves, takes all 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:15.380 of his inheritance and goes to Las Vegas, downtown strip 0:08:15.460 --> 0:08:17.920 and spends all his money on wine, women and song. 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:23.900 And he says this. It says there about the situation. 0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:31.300 He wasted everything he'd been given on foolish living until 0:08:31.340 --> 0:08:35.230 he was broke, miserable and starving. He had to get 0:08:35.270 --> 0:08:39.570 a job feeding pigs. Now you remember, pork is anathema 0:08:39.670 --> 0:08:42.770 for Jews. This guy's Jewish. And what's he doing? He's 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:47.000 feeding pigs. So he's got not only a dirty job, 0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:49.120 he's got a job he's not supposed to even be doing. 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:51.559 He had to get a job feeding pigs and he 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:54.800 became so hungry, he was willing to eat the pig's food. 0:08:55.640 --> 0:09:00.760 You gotta be pretty hungry to eat pig slop. But finally, 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:05.579 he came to his senses. That's perspective. I've been teaching 0:09:05.620 --> 0:09:09.360 you on perspective every week in this series on strategies 0:09:10.140 --> 0:09:12.940 for stressful times. We talked about it last week, how 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:16.140 you gotta have God's perspective. He came to his senses, 0:09:17.179 --> 0:09:19.460 and that's when we change. He came to his senses 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:22.439 and he said to himself, what's saying to himself? Self-talk, 0:09:22.580 --> 0:09:25.900 you talk to yourself all the time. He said to himself, self, 0:09:26.660 --> 0:09:28.690 this is not right. I don't have to stay this 0:09:28.750 --> 0:09:30.449 way if I don't want to. Finally, he came to 0:09:30.490 --> 0:09:32.309 his senses and he said to himself, why am I 0:09:32.350 --> 0:09:36.609 living like this? At my father's home, even the hired 0:09:36.690 --> 0:09:39.770 servants eat better than I do. So he decided to 0:09:39.910 --> 0:09:43.630 get up and go home to his father. Solomon says, 0:09:43.750 --> 0:09:48.730 pain will motivate me. And the prodigal son says, a perspective. Hey, 0:09:49.070 --> 0:09:51.070 I don't have to live this way. The people who 0:09:51.110 --> 0:09:52.990 work for my dad eat better than I do. I 0:09:52.990 --> 0:09:55.790 can go home and just be a servant. And that 0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:58.819 would be better than what I'm living right now. So 0:09:58.860 --> 0:10:02.300 pain and perspective. But Job, I mean Jonah, the third guy, 0:10:02.340 --> 0:10:05.300 gives us an example of how we change when we 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:09.340 finally have no other choice. And when Jonah hits bottom, 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:13.260 and I mean literally bottom, he's thrown over board on 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:15.599 a ship, he sinks to the bottom of the ocean. 0:10:15.980 --> 0:10:18.420 And in Jonah chapter two, we have Jonah's prayer at 0:10:18.470 --> 0:10:20.750 the bottom of the ocean. And one of the things 0:10:20.790 --> 0:10:23.510 he says in Jonah 2.7, one of my favorite verses 0:10:23.570 --> 0:10:30.070 in the Bible, when I had lost all hope, I 0:10:30.150 --> 0:10:35.490 turned my thoughts once again to the Lord. When you 0:10:35.530 --> 0:10:38.910 don't have any other choice, that's when you turn to 0:10:38.929 --> 0:10:43.380 the Lord. Now, nothing is gonna change In your life, 0:10:43.700 --> 0:10:49.880 that emptiness, that despondency, that depression, that feeling of unfulfillment, 0:10:49.900 --> 0:10:52.460 nothing's going to change until you get dissatisfied with the 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:55.110 way you are. And it'll either be pain, or it'll 0:10:55.130 --> 0:10:57.670 be perspective from what we talk about here, or it'll 0:10:57.690 --> 0:11:00.990 be you have no other choice. But sometimes it requires 0:11:01.230 --> 0:11:07.370 all three. Now, that's why Jesus starts his solution to 0:11:07.410 --> 0:11:11.780 your emptiness by saying this. Look on the screen. If 0:11:12.390 --> 0:11:15.740 you're tired. In other words, if you're not tired of 0:11:15.750 --> 0:11:18.000 the way you're living, Jesus doesn't have anything to offer you. 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:21.679 Let me just be honest with you. If you're satisfied 0:11:21.740 --> 0:11:24.340 with the way you're living right now, Jesus has nothing 0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:29.960 to offer you. If you're self-satisfied, even smug about what happens, 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:32.679 happening in your life, go, I don't need anything. Nothing 0:11:32.710 --> 0:11:35.109 needs to improve in my life. Jesus has nothing to 0:11:35.190 --> 0:11:39.990 offer you. On the other hand, if you are tired, 0:11:40.350 --> 0:11:44.110 that means I get fed up I am tired of 0:11:44.170 --> 0:11:47.510 living the way I'm living. If you're tired from carrying 0:11:47.809 --> 0:11:51.530 heavy loads, if you're not tired of trying to solve 0:11:51.570 --> 0:11:56.030 all the problems by yourself, Jesus can't help you. So 0:11:56.050 --> 0:12:02.309 let me ask you, are you tired? Are you tired 0:12:02.330 --> 0:12:06.589 of running on empty? Are you fed up with the 0:12:06.710 --> 0:12:12.010 emptiness that you've been feeling in your life? And are 0:12:12.070 --> 0:12:15.530 you willing to do something about it? As I said, 0:12:15.570 --> 0:12:20.050 we don't change until we feel the heat. You have 0:12:20.070 --> 0:12:21.709 to come some point in your life where you go, 0:12:22.110 --> 0:12:25.500 I have had enough. I refuse to live this way 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:32.179 any longer. It is a point of dissatisfaction. All right? Now, 0:12:33.300 --> 0:12:35.580 let me ask you a personal question, friend to friend. 0:12:37.500 --> 0:12:38.920 Do any of you, you don't have to raise your 0:12:38.940 --> 0:12:41.640 hand on this, but do you feel You're at a 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:46.300 breaking point right now. If you do, I want you 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:47.400 to write this down. I'm going to put it on 0:12:47.420 --> 0:12:51.630 the screen. Write this down. A breakdown is the door 0:12:52.190 --> 0:12:57.410 to a breakthrough. Just write that down. A breakdown is 0:12:57.570 --> 0:13:02.069 always the door to a breakthrough. There is no breakthrough 0:13:02.210 --> 0:13:06.630 until you have the breakdown. The breakdown of my pride, 0:13:06.710 --> 0:13:11.119 my arrogance, my self-sufficiency. A breakdown... when I realized I 0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:16.140 can't do this on my own. A breakdown is always 0:13:17.230 --> 0:13:19.530 the door to a breakthrough. And I want you as 0:13:19.550 --> 0:13:23.850 your friend to have a breakthrough now. Now let me 0:13:23.890 --> 0:13:25.750 give you another thing to write down. Write this down 0:13:25.809 --> 0:13:30.949 underneath it. I can't make a comeback until I admit 0:13:31.010 --> 0:13:36.510 my setback. I can't make a comeback until I admit 0:13:37.570 --> 0:13:41.690 my setback. If you're unwilling to admit that you have 0:13:41.730 --> 0:13:44.070 a setback and that you're empty and that you need 0:13:44.490 --> 0:13:47.260 God's help in your life, nobody can help you right now. 0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:52.720 I can't have a comeback. Every comeback requires a setback first, 0:13:53.220 --> 0:13:56.459 but you got to admit it. Now, once you've done 0:13:56.500 --> 0:14:02.770 this first step, which is get fed up. I'm fed 0:14:02.870 --> 0:14:05.870 up with the way I've been feeling. Now you're ready 0:14:05.910 --> 0:14:09.250 for step two. It's real simple. Three words. Come to Jesus. 0:14:09.860 --> 0:14:15.520 Write that down. Come to Jesus. That means you bring 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:19.610 the good and the bad in your life. You bring 0:14:19.650 --> 0:14:24.190 the frustrating and the painful. You bring the shameful things 0:14:24.250 --> 0:14:26.910 in your life. You bring the exhausting things in your life. 0:14:27.350 --> 0:14:32.030 You bring everything to Jesus and you come to Jesus. 0:14:33.110 --> 0:14:37.470 Jesus says this, if you're tired, okay, I'm fed up. 0:14:38.620 --> 0:14:43.180 If you're tired from carrying heavy loads, heavy burden, come 0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:46.420 to me and I'll give you rest. Now notice who 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:48.960 you're to come to and what you're to come to. 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:52.400 He says, come to me and what he gives you back. 0:14:54.150 --> 0:14:56.430 Who do you come to? Jesus. What does he give 0:14:56.470 --> 0:15:01.630 you back? Rest. Now notice, friends, it doesn't say come 0:15:01.790 --> 0:15:07.590 to religion. Religion can't help you. He doesn't say come 0:15:07.690 --> 0:15:12.290 to rules. Rules can't help you when you're empty. He 0:15:12.330 --> 0:15:15.270 doesn't say come to rituals. Rituals can't help you when 0:15:15.290 --> 0:15:20.510 you're empty. He doesn't say come to regulations. Regulations don't 0:15:20.530 --> 0:15:22.130 help you when you're empty. He says come to me. 0:15:23.260 --> 0:15:28.400 Come to me. The antidote to your emptiness, the antidote 0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:31.820 to your overload, the antidote to all the ucky things 0:15:31.860 --> 0:15:36.020 that you're feeling right now, that overloaded soul, that empty soul, 0:15:36.470 --> 0:15:40.710 It's not a plan for time management, okay? It's not 0:15:40.730 --> 0:15:45.950 a program for stress relief. It's not a philosophy. It's 0:15:45.970 --> 0:15:48.430 not a program. It's not a pill. It's a person. 0:15:49.170 --> 0:15:54.510 Come to me. You come to Jesus. Not to religion 0:15:54.570 --> 0:15:58.590 or anything. You come to Jesus. Now, I've studied scripture 0:15:58.610 --> 0:16:00.850 all my life, and you know what I've discovered? That 0:16:00.890 --> 0:16:03.250 in the Bible, people came to Jesus for a lot 0:16:03.270 --> 0:16:05.840 of different reasons, some of them good, some of them bad. 0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:09.660 Some came for forgiveness, some came for healing, some came 0:16:09.700 --> 0:16:12.580 to Jesus for advice, some came for eternal life, some 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:15.600 because they had a question. You know what? Jesus didn't 0:16:15.700 --> 0:16:18.090 care why people came to him as long as they 0:16:18.110 --> 0:16:23.490 came to him. Jesus doesn't care why you come to him, 0:16:24.770 --> 0:16:27.110 just that you come to him. Look at this verse 0:16:27.150 --> 0:16:32.290 on the screen, John 6, 37. Jesus says, whoever comes 0:16:32.410 --> 0:16:38.250 to me, I will never leave. reject. Now notice what 0:16:38.290 --> 0:16:41.190 Jesus promises. Look at the next thing he says. He says, 0:16:41.510 --> 0:16:45.470 come to me and I will give you rest. What 0:16:45.510 --> 0:16:47.890 kind of rest? Rest for your soul. That's much deeper 0:16:47.930 --> 0:16:52.050 than physical rest. Your problem right now is probably not 0:16:52.210 --> 0:16:56.260 overloaded muscles. Some of you probably need your muscles a little, 0:16:56.380 --> 0:16:59.860 you need to use them a little bit more. What 0:16:59.880 --> 0:17:02.060 you have is not overloaded muscles. What you have right 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:05.350 now is an overloaded mind. You have an overloaded spirit, 0:17:05.390 --> 0:17:09.550 you have an overloaded soul. And we need rest, not 0:17:09.650 --> 0:17:13.910 from physical work probably, but from tension. We need rest 0:17:13.950 --> 0:17:15.970 from anxiety. You know what I'm talking about? We need 0:17:16.030 --> 0:17:20.399 rest from hurry. We need rest from worry. Now that's 0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:23.460 a different kind of rest, as I said. It's not 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:29.439 just sleep. How you unwind when you're physical tired is 0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:32.900 one way. How you unwind when you're exhausted and overloaded 0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:36.879 emotionally I don't know. What do you do? What do 0:17:36.900 --> 0:17:40.280 you do when you're physically, I mean spiritually and emotionally, 0:17:40.380 --> 0:17:45.709 mentally exhausted? What's your first choice? Watch a movie? Do 0:17:45.730 --> 0:17:49.810 your hobby? Do an exercise? Go do a sport? You 0:17:49.850 --> 0:17:53.030 know what? Those are all good things. Those are all 0:17:53.070 --> 0:17:56.229 good things, but none of them can restore your soul. 0:17:57.160 --> 0:18:00.570 Only God can. can restore your soul. That's why Jesus said, 0:18:00.609 --> 0:18:04.470 if you got soul emptiness, you got soul depression, you 0:18:04.490 --> 0:18:10.379 got soul overload, come to me. Isaiah 40, look at 0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:13.040 this verse on the screen. He gives power to those 0:18:13.080 --> 0:18:15.439 who are tired and worn out and he offers strength 0:18:15.460 --> 0:18:19.230 to the weak. So when you're empty inside, let me 0:18:19.250 --> 0:18:23.270 just point out the differences. When you're empty inside, you 0:18:23.290 --> 0:18:26.550 know what culture says? The world says, when you're empty inside, 0:18:26.910 --> 0:18:30.220 you need to do more. You need to have more. 0:18:30.260 --> 0:18:32.800 You need more things. You need to make more money. 0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:37.139 That's why you're empty. Make more money. Get more things. 0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:41.359 Do more things. Travel to more places. Culture says the 0:18:41.540 --> 0:18:45.020 antidote to your emptiness is go, go, go, go, go, go, 0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:50.340 go more. Jesus said, no, don't go. Come. Come to me. 0:18:51.820 --> 0:18:54.629 Come just as you are. 0:19:00.850 --> 0:19:04.350 Hey, if you're looking for daily encouragement from God's word, 0:19:04.530 --> 0:19:07.830 I'd like to invite you to download the Daily Hope app. 0:19:08.070 --> 0:19:11.030 It's designed to help you grow in your faith every day. 0:19:11.250 --> 0:19:15.030 It has easy access to devotionals, audio messages you can 0:19:15.090 --> 0:19:18.910 listen to anywhere and video teaching right at your fingertips. 0:19:19.210 --> 0:19:21.990 You can even search for topics that matter to you 0:19:22.210 --> 0:19:25.040 and set a daily reminder so you never miss time 0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:28.640 with God.
