1
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Stephen Ferdick.

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 2: I'm the pastor of Elevation Church and this is our podcast.

3
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 2: Be sure to subscribe so we can get you these

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 2: new sermons every week.

5
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: I hope you're blessed today. It's so good to be back.

6
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: I love it.

7
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 2: I'm excited today because I'm starting a brand new sermon series.

8
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right. I didn't even tell anybody.

9
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 2: I hardly even told Holly. I put something down in

10
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 2: my phone over a year ago, and I've been saving

11
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 2: it for the season that I felt that the Lord.

12
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: Wanted me to release it, and that season is here.

13
00:00:58,240 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: So from now.

14
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 2: Until Easter, you're going to be in a special sermon.

15
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: Series, and the series is called Seeking Jesus. Seeking Jesus.

16
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:11,199
Speaker 1: Praise the Lord.

17
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 2: Something to help us get past all of the distractions

18
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 2: that are in our life and seek Jesus, something to

19
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 2: help us tune out all the noise and seek Jesus,

20
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 2: something to help us stop scrolling so much and start

21
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 2: seeking Jesus. Stop digging through the dumpster to find a meal,

22
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,919
Speaker 2: and start seeking the bread of life.

23
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: Seeking Jesus.

24
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 2: Stop groping around in the darkness looking for wisdom, and

25
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 2: start asking the one who is wisdom what to do

26
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:40,919
Speaker 2: with our.

27
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: Lives Seeking Jesus.

28
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 2: I'm believing that he's going to speak to you, and

29
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 2: I'm excited about these next few weeks. I want you

30
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 2: to go ahead and be seated as the worship team

31
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 2: is dismissed as we set up our scripture and the

32
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 2: title of my first message for this new series.

33
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: It may sound backwards.

34
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 2: When I say it, but I promise you it'll make

35
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 2: sense by the end. Today I want to teach you

36
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 2: how to begin.

37
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: With amen, begin with amen. Thank you so much, LJ.

38
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 1: We're going to be in John chapter one, and.

39
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 2: Throughout the course of the series, I hope to be

40
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 2: able to give you several pictures of Jesus from the

41
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 2: New Testament that will help you to see him for

42
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 2: who he is. When I was in my thirties, I

43
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 2: did a series called Savage Jesus. I guess I'm getting

44
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 2: soft in my old age. Now I'm preaching about seeking Jesus. Now,

45
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 2: when we say seeking Jesus, as you find John chapter one,

46
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 2: verse forty three through fifty one in your Bible, John

47
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 2: chapter one, verse forty three through fifty one, understand that

48
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 2: when we say seeking Jesus, we're seeking someone, not something.

49
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: Here's the difference. The other day, Holly Loo lost her ring.

50
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 2: And I could see she was getting frustrated, and I said,

51
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 2: move aside.

52
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: The professional is on the job. I paid for it.

53
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: I guarantee you I'll find it. I will.

54
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 2: I'll stick my hand through your nostril to find it

55
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 2: if I have to. Ring was expensive, and I said,

56
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 2: I'll bet you'll find it in three seconds.

57
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: It wasn't three seconds, but it was only about two minutes.

58
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: I was seeking her ring, I found her ring, I

59
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 2: handed her her ring, and we were done. Because when

60
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 2: you're seeking a thing and you find it, you're done.

61
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 2: When you're seeking a thing and you get it, you finished.

62
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 2: Seek fine, finish that simple. When you're seeking someone, let's

63
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 2: use the context of marriage again. I gave Holly a ring,

64
00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:00,839
Speaker 2: made her my wife, and that's a relationship. So when

65
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 2: I found my wife, I didn't stop seeking. Because when

66
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 2: you seek a thing and you find it, you're done.

67
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 2: But when you seek someone and you find them, you

68
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 2: go deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper. An entire

69
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 2: marriage seminar was just presented in the first two minutes

70
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 2: of my sermon half of y'all missed it because you're

71
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 2: still getting your notes south just right at the top

72
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 2: of your page, right seeking Jesus week one, and then

73
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 2: put in your notes just say begin with a men.

74
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 2: We're studying the beginning of Jesus's ministry on Earth in

75
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 2: John chapter one. And if I was about twenty years younger,

76
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 2: I would say Jesus has motion. But since I'm not,

77
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 2: I'll just say his ministry is beginning with significant momentum.

78
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 2: John the Baptist, who was the man who jumped in

79
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 2: the womb, recognizing the voice or at least the frequency

80
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 2: of his cousin Jesus in Mary's womb, has pointed the way.

81
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 2: He said, look the lamb of God. Somebody say, look

82
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 2: the lamb of God. He had that ability to see Jesus.

83
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 2: He saw Jesus before Jesus was even visible. He knew

84
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 2: Jesus for who Jesus was, and he saw Jesus as

85
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 2: the Lamb of God that was prophesied and slain from

86
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 2: the foundations of the Earth. And John began to do

87
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 2: something very unusual in ministry. He began to give his

88
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 2: members to another pastor. I'm well, I was gonna say

89
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 2: I've never done that before.

90
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:39,799
Speaker 1: But there are a few members that I've.

91
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 2: Gladly given to another pastor, but not the good ones.

92
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 2: Not the good ones. John the Baptist gave the good

93
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 2: ones to another pastor. He said, here you go, that's

94
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 2: the Lamb of God. Follow him.

95
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: One of those two was named Andrew.

96
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 2: And Andrew had a brother that went by the name

97
00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,919
Speaker 2: of Simon, and Simon had his name changed to Peter,

98
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 2: which means rock. So Jesus takes Simon, turns them into

99
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 2: Dwayne Johnson and they start the ministry. With y'all have

100
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 2: missed my corny jokes, I can tell you miss starving

101
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 2: where you know, there's at least three or four of

102
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 2: them at this point in John chapter one that are

103
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 2: following Jesus. Another great term that we want to talk

104
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 2: about today is following Jesus. And in John chapter one,

105
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 2: verse forty three. Let me go ahead and read the scripture. Now,

106
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 2: the Bible says the next day Jesus decided to leave

107
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 2: for Galilee. Finding Philip, he said to him, follow me. Philip,

108
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 2: like Andrew and Peter, was from the town of Bethseda.

109
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 2: Philip found Nathaniel and told him we have found the

110
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 2: one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom

111
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 2: the prophets also wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

112
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: Nazareth.

113
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 2: Can anything good come from Nazareth? Nathaniel ast come and see,

114
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 2: said Philip. When Jesus saw Nathaniel approaching, he said to him, here,

115
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 2: truly is an Israelite in whom there is no deceit.

116
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: How do you know me, Nathaniel?

117
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 2: Last, Jesus answered, I saw you while you were still

118
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 2: under the fig tree before Philip called you. Then Nathaniel declared, Rabbi,

119
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 2: you are the son of God.

120
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: You are the King of Israel.

121
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 2: Jesus said, you believe because I told you I saw

122
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 2: you under the fig tree.

123
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: You'll see greater things than that.

124
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 2: He then added, very truly, I tell you will see

125
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 2: Heaven open and the angels of God ascending and descending

126
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 2: on the son of Man. I'm gonna throw out a

127
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 2: few phrases and you finish them if you know them. Okay,

128
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 2: this is not going on your permanent record.

129
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: Just relax and take the test.

130
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 2: Say it out loud if you know it. And these

131
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 2: are not Bible verses either. You've got to know when

132
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 2: to hold them, no wind to fold them by the way.

133
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 2: You can play along online to just type it into comments.

134
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: Let's do another one. You're gonna get a little harder. Now.

135
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: You've got to crawl before you can.

136
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 2: Two for two, you got to crawl before you can walk.

137
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 2: How about this one. You've got to see it to.

138
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: Believe it. That's true, that's true.

139
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 2: Sometimes, you know, I just need proof. I'm not picking

140
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 2: on anybody. But if you tell me as a man

141
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 2: that you bench press over a certain amount.

142
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: And you don't look like you bench pressed.

143
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 2: I met a guy the other day that told me

144
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 2: he could bench over three hundred and I said, okay.

145
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: He said, you don't believe me. I said, no, I

146
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: would have to see it to believe it, because, first.

147
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 2: Of all, I don't know what kind of funky form

148
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 2: you got going on to get three hundred pounds up

149
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 2: in the air. You might be I don't know, you

150
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 2: might have you might break your back getting three hundred

151
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 2: pounds up in the air, So I don't really know

152
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 2: first of all that.

153
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: And secondly, never mind, he said, what do you mean?

154
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 2: I said, well, it just to be honest with you,

155
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 2: it just doesn't look like and then he goes, oh, yeah, well, no,

156
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 2: I can't do it now. In college, he said, in college.

157
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 1: The man was fifty two years old and.

158
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 2: Still as a frame of reference for his bench press number.

159
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: College.

160
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, you look like college. Look like you graduated too.

161
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 2: You got to see it to believe it. And it's

162
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 2: the craziest thing nowadays. People just see things and believe

163
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 2: and without even verifying the source. One of my relatives

164
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 2: the other day said, I heard your friend and they

165
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 2: named my friend who's in ministry. They said, I heard

166
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 2: they're selling CBD oil in products now online to raise

167
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 2: money for their ministry.

168
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: Well, I know this person. This person would never do that.

169
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 2: That would be the last thing that they would do

170
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,119
Speaker 2: to raise money for their ministry.

171
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: So I said, show me, show me.

172
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 3: The show me the post that you saw that would

173
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 3: cause you to believe that Joyce Meyer would be selling

174
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 3: CBD oil. Joy saying selling CBD oil.

175
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 2: I don't even think Joyce Meyer eats French fries.

176
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 1: She's so holy, it's the holiest person I know. You're

177
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: not gonna convince me.

178
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 2: You can bench three hundred and you look, you're not

179
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 2: gonna convince me.

180
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: Joyce Meyers. So I know her. You gotta show me

181
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: because I know her. Uh huh. You've got to see

182
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 1: it to believe it.

183
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,719
Speaker 2: And that's not a bad thing to live by, even

184
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 2: when it comes to this church. Some of y'all who've

185
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 2: been around for a while remember when they were saying

186
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 2: that we had a water slide on.

187
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,599
Speaker 1: The stage for baptisms.

188
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 2: And the worst part was they had a picture of it.

189
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 2: But you can't believe it because you saw a picture

190
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 2: of it.

191
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: Do you not understand photoshop? There were people calling our front.

192
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 2: Desk of our ministry, Well, I saw the picture, but

193
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 2: you never came to the church. And until you come

194
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 2: to the church, don't tell me about the picture that'll preach.

195
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: Don't tell me if you're not if you're not willing

196
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: to see it.

197
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 2: There's a sense I get in John chapter one, where

198
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 2: Philip is saying to Nathaniel, you've got to see it

199
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 2: to believe it. That's what Jesus taught Andrew and the

200
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 2: other disciple who wanted to see where he stayed. He said,

201
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 2: come and see, and they went and hung out and

202
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 2: got convinced. Now Jesus did not feel the need to

203
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 2: convince them.

204
00:11:59,280 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: And I need us.

205
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 2: To understand that we do not serve a Jesus who explains,

206
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 2: but the Jesus who demonstrates, So that even when he

207
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 2: taught the Kingdom of Heaven, he did it with parables

208
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 2: because it.

209
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 1: Was a demonstration, not an explanation. And so to seek Jesus.

210
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: This is all I'm trying to say.

211
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 2: By my first point, you have to follow to find out.

212
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 3: You can't know what God is like evaluating God.

213
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 2: You can't figure out what it's like to walk in faith.

214
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 2: You have to follow to find out. Put that into

215
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 2: comments and write it down as.

216
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: My first point. You have to follow to find out.

217
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 2: Now, most of us are used to calculating our decisions

218
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 2: in life, so we want to figure out and then follow.

219
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 2: Most of us would have never had the faith of

220
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 2: the first character that I mentioned, where Jesus said follow me,

221
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 2: and he did. I would need a little bit more

222
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 2: details then follow me.

223
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: I don't know the exact profession that Philip.

224
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 2: Gave up to do this, but it would take a

225
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 2: little bit more then follow me.

226
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: I at least need to know where we're sleeping tonight.

227
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 2: But Jesus is leaving for Galilee, which is where he

228
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 2: did his ministry, not where he was born. He was

229
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 2: born in Bethlehem. He ministered in Galilee, and that is

230
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 2: where he lived, and he's going back there for some

231
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,599
Speaker 2: undisclosed reason. And he turns to Philip and says, follow me,

232
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 2: for what you'll find out if you follow me. When

233
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 2: God speaks, reason can never answer. God cannot be sought

234
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 2: at the level of mind.

235
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: God must be experienced at the level of spirit.

236
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 2: I don't know who I'm preaching to right now, but

237
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 2: you keep telling God when he shows you more, you'll

238
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:51,439
Speaker 2: go more.

239
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: You keep telling God that you.

240
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 2: Will obey him once you understand the outcome.

241
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: But in matters of.

242
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 2: Faith, you know you have to follow to find out. Abraham,

243
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 2: go to a land. I will show you what's it

244
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 2: going to be like. You've got to follow to find out,

245
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 2: and you'll find out why I called you as you follow.

246
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 2: I cannot describe to you what the next season of

247
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 2: your life will be like. If you follow God in faith,

248
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 2: you will have to follow.

249
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: To find out. And this is where most of us would.

250
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 2: Have never gotten past John chapter one, verse forty three.

251
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: The whole thing would have ended right there.

252
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 2: Follow me, and we would have waited for details, and

253
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 2: he would not have given them, because Jesus does not

254
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 2: call you to figure out.

255
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: He calls you to follow.

256
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 2: And maybe that gives you relief, because there's a sense

257
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 2: in which some of you in your mind right now

258
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 2: are trying to figure everything out for the future of

259
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 2: your life and.

260
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: The next season of your life.

261
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 2: And maybe it can be an exhale for you or

262
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 2: a sigh of relief or a surrender to the Savior

263
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 2: to know that he never called you to figure out.

264
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: He just called you to follow. But how are we

265
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: gonna pay for it? Follow? But how is it gonna follow?

266
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 2: But what's gonna happen in three follow?

267
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: We might not even be here in three years. Have

268
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: y'all watched the news? I don't know about no three years.

269
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 2: I'm just following Jesus the best I can. Today, somebody

270
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 2: asked me, what's the ten year plan for the church?

271
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 2: I'm doing good to have a ten minute plan for

272
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 2: this sermon.

273
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: I don't even.

274
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 2: Really know what I'm gonna say after this first point

275
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 2: if you want to know the truth. But I'm trying

276
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 2: to follow, and as you follow, you find out that's

277
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 2: what Philip knew. I've got to find out there was

278
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 2: something in Philip that says, I want to find out.

279
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 2: I believe there's somebody in here who God is calling

280
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 2: you to follow him, and it is unseasonably difficult for

281
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 2: you to do that right now. But don't you want

282
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 2: to find out what your life can be in his hands.

283
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 2: Don't you want to find out how freedom feels when

284
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 2: you finally decide to forgive that person. Don't you want

285
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 2: to find out what it feels like to lay your

286
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 2: head down on your pillow at night knowing that you've

287
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 2: confessed your sin instead of continuing to hide it. Don't

288
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 2: you want to find out what it's like to get

289
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 2: beyond this selfish me first generation where I'm simply just

290
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 2: following the crowd, and I say goodbye to the crowd,

291
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 2: and I start following the Christ who is greater than

292
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 2: the crowd. And something in Philip I can't prove it,

293
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 2: but something in Philip I just infer it from the text,

294
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 2: and I deduce it from what is written that he said,

295
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 2: I don't know what my future is, but I want

296
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 2: to find out behind this man. You have to follow

297
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 2: him to find out, So sometimes.

298
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: You have to see it to believe it. Here's what

299
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: I want to talk about today.

300
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 4: Other times, you have to believe it to see it.

301
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 4: You have to believe it to see it.

302
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 2: Now, these are the moments in life where you have

303
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 2: no physical proof that what God spoke is true and

304
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 2: it actually contradicts the way you feel in that moment.

305
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:19,919
Speaker 2: We're going to move on from Philip for a moment,

306
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 2: and we're going to move to this character called Nathaniel.

307
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 1: This is really who I wanted to talk to you

308
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: about today.

309
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 2: I was just telling you about Philip just in case

310
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 2: you can't figure out your life right now, but God

311
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 2: is calling you to follow anyway. That's probably not anybody

312
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 2: in here. You probably all got to figure it out.

313
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 2: But some of us are just trying to figure out

314
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 2: what to do. And we don't know what to do

315
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 2: about this situation with an aging parent, or this situation

316
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 2: with a struggling child, and we don't know what to

317
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 2: do about this issue in our body, and we're trying

318
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 2: to figure it out.

319
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 1: But God is just calling us to follow.

320
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 2: So that was for some of us, But for the

321
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 2: rest of you who have got it figured out, like Nathaniel, right,

322
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 2: Nathaniel has got it figured out because Philip found Nathaniel

323
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 2: and told him we have found the one Moses wrote

324
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 2: about in the Laws all of these prophecies that were

325
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 2: about Jesus.

326
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 1: And after meeting Jesus, he said, we found him.

327
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:14,679
Speaker 2: And about whom the prophets also wrote, Jesus of Nazareth,

328
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,360
Speaker 2: the son of Joseph.

329
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: We are seeking Jesus in this season of our church, and.

330
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 2: As we seek him, we need to pay attention to

331
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 2: everything we can learn about him. And one of the

332
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 2: things that we need to learn from is the label

333
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 2: that was associated with him.

334
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: As he walked the earth.

335
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 2: They didn't call him Jesus the Savior yet.

336
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: He hadn't died for them yet.

337
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 2: They did not call him Jesus the Healer yet because

338
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 2: he hadn't performed any miracles yet, not yet. They would

339
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 2: see all of that as they followed, but at this

340
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 2: point they only knew him this way.

341
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: Watch Jesus of Nazareth.

342
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 2: It was common to call somebody by where they came

343
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 2: from back then, and then they call him the son

344
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 2: of Joseph. Well, that one's kind of complicated, isn't it,

345
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 2: Because remember Mary's story, and She's like, I promise Joseph

346
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 2: it was the Holy Spirit.

347
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 1: He came from a questionable background. So when he called

348
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: him Jesus of Nazareth.

349
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 2: Watched Nathaniel's response, and I was laughing at it as

350
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 2: I read it.

351
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,360
Speaker 1: And maybe you didn't know why. He said verse forty six.

352
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 2: Nazareth, can any you said you found the Messiah and

353
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 2: he comes from Nazareth.

354
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, Nazareth.

355
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 2: And then Nathaniel wants to know, can anything good come from.

356
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 1: There? Come and see, said Philip. Now, the reason that

357
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: Nathaniel had a.

358
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 2: Negative perspective of Nazareth is because it was small. And

359
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 2: I studied this week, y'all. I studied so much this week.

360
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 2: I have no idea how I'm gonna say Amen at

361
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 2: the end of this sermon. That's why I called the

362
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 2: sermon begin with Amen. So wherever we end, we'll just

363
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 2: end and come back next week.

364
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: I studied so much for this sermon. This is how

365
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 1: much I studied.

366
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 2: I was waking up last night every hour on the hour,

367
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 2: one am, two am, three am, at four am, I

368
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 2: had this horrible nightmare that on my way to preach,

369
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 2: I got in a terrible car accident. I went to

370
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 2: the hospital, and I was in the hospital. They had

371
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 2: me all hooked up, but I was trying to scan

372
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 2: my credit card to pay for the hospital visit, and

373
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 2: I was telling them I got to go teach the

374
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 2: series at the church.

375
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: I studied too much. That's how much I loved y'all.

376
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: Was I was my fictitious hospital bed. I got out

377
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 1: of my not really hospital bed to preach this to you.

378
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 2: And I studied and found out that Nathaniel came from

379
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 2: somewhere near Nazareth, but not Nazareth.

380
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 1: Follow me.

381
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 2: Nathaniel came from a place called Caina. Cano was also

382
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 2: in Galilee, but Cano was north of Galilee. Cano was distinguished.

383
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 2: Can was sophisticated. Cana was a wealthy place. Picture the

384
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 2: part of town where you drive through and judge the

385
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 2: people and say, it must be nice if I had

386
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 2: all their money.

387
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 1: That was Cana.

388
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 2: Cana was a place where if you came from there,

389
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 2: you were the sweatshirt straight out of Cana. You would

390
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 2: not feel like you came out of the mud. You

391
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 2: would feel like you came from privilege.

392
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: And so I'm not calling Nathaniel a snob.

393
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 2: I'm just saying that he looked down on where Jesus

394
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 2: came from. So when he says, can anything good come

395
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 2: from there? Come and see, he's giving a negative interpretation

396
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 2: of where Jesus came from based on his background. He

397
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 2: believes a certain thing about a certain place, and because

398
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 2: he believes a certain thing about a certain place, he

399
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 2: cannot accept a certain person that came from a certain place.

400
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 2: Only problem is John chapter one, verse one. John chapter one,

401
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:01,919
Speaker 2: verse one says, in the beginning was the Word, and

402
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 2: the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

403
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 2: He was with God in the beginning. Through him, all

404
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 2: things were made. Through him, Jesus, all things were made.

405
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 2: Without him, nothing was made that has been made. And

406
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 2: the Lord stopped me and showed me something that Nathaniel

407
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 2: thought that Jesus came from Nazareth. But Jesus didn't really

408
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 2: come from Nazareth. If John chapter one, verse one through

409
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 2: three is correct, and through Jesus everything was made that

410
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 2: was made, that means Jesus didn't come from Nazareth. Nazareth

411
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 2: came from Jesus. And I came to preach about Jesus today,

412
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 2: Oh preach that better than your respondent.

413
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: Through him, all things were created.

414
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,239
Speaker 2: He is not subject to what he made. He is

415
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 2: not subject to a human label. He is not a

416
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 2: baby that was born in a barn. He is the

417
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 2: preexisting God who in John chapter one, verse fourteen, became flesh,

418
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 2: that's incarnation, and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory,

419
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 2: the glory as of the one who came from the Father.

420
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 2: So they said he came from Nazareth. He said, he

421
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 2: came from the Father. They said he came from a

422
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:27,400
Speaker 2: small place. He said, I came from a place that

423
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 2: you've never seen. Because in the beginning, what's the Word?

424
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 2: And the Word was with.

425
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: God, and the word what's God?

426
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 2: And nothing exists without Him. And so all I'm saying

427
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 2: is God is bigger than your background. God is bigger

428
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 2: than your background. Oh, God is bigger than what you

429
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 2: think about him. God is bigger than your little tradition

430
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 2: about him. God is bigger than what you were taught

431
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 2: about him. God will come to places that you were

432
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 2: taught he'd stay away from. God will use people that

433
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 2: you taught. You were taught he hated. God will do

434
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 2: things that you you were taught were impossible.

435
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 1: God will do things.

436
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 2: Now I'm not saying I've seen all of it, but

437
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 2: sometimes you have to believe it to see it. So

438
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 2: if the enemy can keep you from believing it because

439
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 2: you've never seen it.

440
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 5: He can keep you from ever seeing it and experiencing it.

441
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 5: And he can keep you from seeing it if he

442
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 5: can keep you from believing it.

443
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 2: Wow, not Nazareth. Nothing good can come from Nazareth. Somebody say,

444
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 2: not Nazareth. Now for Nazareth, just put whatever in the blank.

445
00:24:50,400 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 2: You don't think God can use not heartbreak, not Nazareth. No, no, no,

446
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 2: nothing good can come from a broken heart. The Bible

447
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 2: says a broken in a contrite heart, he will not despise.

448
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 1: He will dwell in what you despise. Not Nazareth.

449
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 2: I know you didn't want to get a divorce, and

450
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 2: now you're saying not after a divorce. God can't use me.

451
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 2: I got a word for you. Follow him and find out.

452
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 2: One man said fool around and find out, but this

453
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 2: is the church version.

454
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 1: Follow him and find out.

455
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 2: I don't care what they called you, I don't care.

456
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: What they said about you. I'm gonna come over on

457
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: this side. I always come down that wrong side of

458
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: the steps.

459
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 2: God is looking for somebody today who will follow him

460
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 2: and find out.

461
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: No, God can't use me. I'm an alcoholic.

462
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 2: Follow him and find out what if God gives you

463
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 2: that same passion for his presence that you used to

464
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 2: have for a substance. Follow him and find out I

465
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 2: speak to somebody who's a drug dealer. Right now, you're

466
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 2: about to be a disciple, and you're about to turn

467
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 2: the chain of supply and demand on his head, because

468
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,959
Speaker 2: when you get hooked into this vine, there's an unlimited supply.

469
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 2: And I don't care what they said about you, and

470
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 2: I don't care what you've said about yourself. I don't

471
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 2: even know what you've been labeling your kids.

472
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 1: I don't even know what the doctor told you to say.

473
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 6: But follow him and find out.

474
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 2: He's a healer, he's a wave maker, he's a shame breaker,

475
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 2: he's a stone roller.

476
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: Yes it is, and he came from Nazareth.

477
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 2: So if you're gonna seek Jesus, you might have to

478
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 2: look in Nazareth.

479
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: You might have to look in a dirty place.

480
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 2: You might have to get honest about what you're going through.

481
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 2: You might have to get authentic and quit pretending like

482
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 2: you have it together and stop saying, brace the Lord,

483
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,080
Speaker 2: we're fine, and pick up the phone and call all

484
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 2: accounselor and say I need help, because the help might come.

485
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 7: From Nazareth, Nazareth, Nazareth, Nazareth. I kept saying it wrong

486
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 7: all week, Nazaus, like I was saying Lazarus and Nazareth.

487
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 1: And the Lord said, well, what did the two things

488
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: have in common?

489
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 2: I said, both were situations where everybody thought it was over,

490
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 2: and both were places where God displayed his glory. You

491
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 2: better follow him and find out. I know when the

492
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 2: Lord's speaking, I'm not moving. I am not moving to

493
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 2: my next point. It would be a shame for you

494
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 2: to lect the shame of where you came from, stop

495
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 2: you from seeing the glory of who you came from.

496
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 1: I gotta shown verse forbid. I got to show the verse.

497
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 2: Verse fourteen says the Word became flesh and made his

498
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 2: dwelling among us, and we have seen his glory, the

499
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 2: glory of the one and only Son who came from

500
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 2: the Father. Can anything good come from Nazareth, Nazareth, Nazareth

501
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 2: and Lazarus? Now?

502
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,919
Speaker 1: Now, can anything good come from that? Well?

503
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 2: It depends because before he came from Nazareth, he came

504
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 2: from the Father.

505
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,120
Speaker 1: Everything that God allowed to happen in your life.

506
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,120
Speaker 2: Passed through his hands, and it has to go back

507
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 2: through his hands, and we have seen his glory. Now

508
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 2: they say you have to see it to believe it.

509
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 2: But back up to verse twelve. John Chapter one, verse twelve.

510
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 2: Yet to all who did received him, to those who

511
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 2: believed in his name, he gave the right to become

512
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 2: children of God.

513
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: See it.

514
00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 2: Circle the word believed, justin believed in his name. Verse fourteen. Again,

515
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 2: and the word became flesh. That's Jesus and made his

516
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 2: dwelling among us. We have seen his glory circle the

517
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 2: word scene. Sometimes you have to see it to believe it.

518
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 2: I get that, But sometimes you have to believe it

519
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 2: to see it. See if I don't believe that God

520
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 2: is my provider, I won't see the provision.

521
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: You get it. It's a complete inversion.

522
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 2: That's why jesus Kingdom is upside down, but it's actually

523
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 2: right side up because it's a complete inversion. The Gospel

524
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 2: of John is not just about miracles. The Gospel of

525
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 2: John is not just happy meals being fed to a

526
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 2: crowd of five thousand. The Gospel of John is not

527
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 2: just water walking in storms. The Gospel of John is

528
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 2: not just unique conversations. The Gospel of John is themed

529
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 2: around belief. Belief, in the Son of God. Belief in Jesus,

530
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 2: not just what he did, but who he is.

531
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: It is the theme of the Gospel. Believe, believe, believe,

532
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: And he said to those who believe, you see the glory.

533
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 2: So when you believe God is a provider, it opens

534
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 2: your eyes to see provision that you were walking past

535
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 2: just the day before. And if I remind you today

536
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 2: that he's a provider, and if I force you by

537
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 2: faith to follow him and find out in your next

538
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 2: step of your life, you may see that He has

539
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 2: already made the plan to provide for the thing that

540
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 2: you're praying about.

541
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: And he may have already.

542
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 2: Worked out the situation that you are so worried about.

543
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 2: And I have found it to be true that if

544
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 2: I do not believe that he's my provider, I won't

545
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 2: see the provision.

546
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: Old Testament example. Let's do this class real quick.

547
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 2: In Second King's four, a woman came to Elisha, he

548
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 2: was the prophet, said my husband is dead.

549
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: I need you to help. I need you to provide

550
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: for me. The prophet said back, what do you have

551
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: in your house? Can I help you? She said nothing

552
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: except a jar of oil.

553
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 2: What happened the moment that she believed because the prophet said,

554
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 2: you have something in your house. She could see what

555
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 2: she was unable to see before she believed. So when

556
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 2: I believe that God is my provider, it opens my

557
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 2: mind and opens my eyes to begin to consider some

558
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 2: of the things that He's given me in my life

559
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 2: that may be in seed form right now. But just

560
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 2: because it's a seed doesn't mean it's not supply. Can

561
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 2: I give you another example. If I don't believe that

562
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 2: God has the power to do what I need him

563
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 2: to do, I will not see his power operate.

564
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 1: That's true.

565
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 2: Think about in the Old Testament Book of Joshua, chapter six,

566
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 2: and you see this group of people that has been

567
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 2: marching around a wall in a city called Jericho for

568
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 2: six days. Now, on the last day they march, they

569
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 2: start shouting, and you walk up to this army and say, what.

570
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: Are y'all shouting about?

571
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 2: Because you would expect to see something that they would

572
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 2: be shouting about, but nothing has happened yet.

573
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: They had to believe that the walls could fall.

574
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 2: Shout in faith to find out, I said, they had

575
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 2: to shout to find out. You can figure out, you

576
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 2: can count the walls, You could measure the walls.

577
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: You could climb the walls.

578
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 2: You could come up on the walls and pray over

579
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 2: the walls and anoint the walls with oil, and you

580
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 2: can take a seminar about the walls, and you can

581
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 2: have a Bible class about the walls. But nothing is

582
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 2: going to happen to those walls until you believe that

583
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 2: they can fall. And the proof of your belief is.

584
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 1: In your shout.

585
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 2: So when you shout, look, I know not everybody shouts

586
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 2: in church, and that's fine.

587
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: You don't have to. You don't have to shout out

588
00:32:58,920 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: loud in church to.

589
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 2: Get the content and the substance of what I'm saying.

590
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 2: But even when I preach, okay, listen to me, Even

591
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 2: when I preach once in a while, you ought to

592
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 2: say amen. And every once in a while when something

593
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 2: hits you and you believe by faith, even if it's

594
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 2: hard to hear. I used to have a preacher that

595
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 2: I sat under, and he'd always say, if you can't

596
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 2: say amen.

597
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: You ought to say ouch.

598
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 2: I got all these country preacher shenanigous. I could pull

599
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 2: him out anytime, all this Baptist preacher shenanigans. One guy

600
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 2: used to say, I don't preach for the praise of men. Amen, Amen,

601
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 2: God arone.

602
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: Amen.

603
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 8: I went.

604
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 2: I went to church one time with my dad. My

605
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 2: dad was I think most of y'all know about my dad.

606
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 2: He was kind of from a Nazareth situation. His dad

607
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 2: committed suicide. He dealt with alcoholism not only in his

608
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 2: family but in his own personal experience, and his life

609
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 2: was very rough as a boy. And I won't tell

610
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 2: you the story all over again because I know you

611
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 2: come every week and you've got all my stories and memorize.

612
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 2: But one time my dad wanted me to go to

613
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 2: church with him, and he was so excited to go

614
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 2: to church because the Lord turns.

615
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 1: His life round. And we went out to this little

616
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: church and place like Nazareth, just little town.

617
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 2: Four hundred people lived in Nazareth, by the way, well

618
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:17,479
Speaker 2: there couldn't have been four hundred people in this town.

619
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: And we pull up to the church. I'm like, what

620
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: are you bringing me to?

621
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 2: And it is like independent Baptist fundamentalists, you know, just

622
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 2: absolute condemnation turned up.

623
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,919
Speaker 1: To level eleven, like everybody was going to hell.

624
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 2: The president was going to hell, the Senator of the

625
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 2: state was going to hell.

626
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: Mickey Mouse was going to hell.

627
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 5: Y'all.

628
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 2: Remember when the Baptist hated Mickey Mouse for a minute.

629
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: It was a whole moment, cultural moment.

630
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 2: Is yelling at everybody, and he's preaching so hard, and

631
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 2: everybody in the church is in and everybody's saying Amen,

632
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 2: that's right, and preaching and all this stuff. And one

633
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:53,919
Speaker 2: little boy, he couldn't have been more than eight years old.

634
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 2: He stands up on the pew while the preacher's preaching,

635
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,360
Speaker 2: and he shouted something I never heard in my life.

636
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 2: He didn't say Amen, he didn't say praise the Lord,

637
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:03,919
Speaker 2: he didn't say preach it. He hollers at the top

638
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 2: of his lungs, and this is what he says.

639
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: Let the wild hog, my man.

640
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:17,800
Speaker 2: With a trademarch shout. I don't know what it meant,

641
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 2: but I felt it in my bones. I'm like, yes,

642
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:29,240
Speaker 2: let the wild hog eat. Indeed, somebody shout amen, amen.

643
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 2: And when you shout amen, realize what you're shouting means.

644
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 1: So be it.

645
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 2: When you shout amen, it doesn't mean preach pastor Stephen.

646
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 1: When you say amen, you're not talking to me at all.

647
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 2: You're talking to the one that the word came from.

648
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:50,839
Speaker 2: So when you say amen, you're saying God, let it

649
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 2: be like that in my life.

650
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 1: God, what you just spoke to me. I don't care

651
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: that my kid's on drugs.

652
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 2: If you say they'll be saved'll be saved.

653
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:01,800
Speaker 9: So be it.

654
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 1: Somebody shout Amen, God.

655
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,720
Speaker 2: If you say I'm coming out of this, I'm coming

656
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,399
Speaker 2: out of this, so be it. If you say the

657
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 2: fire won't burn me, my clothes.

658
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 1: Won't even smell like smoke, so be it. Shout Amen.

659
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 2: I'm gonna turn this into a Pentecostal church by the

660
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 2: time it's all said and die. But it's not just

661
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:34,240
Speaker 2: gonna be for the people who have an outward expressing personality.

662
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 2: It's gonna be for everybody who's been fighting against insecurity

663
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 2: and fighting against lives and fighting against the enemy. Telling

664
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 2: you that's all it's ever gonna be.

665
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: Nazareth. Can anything good come out of Nazareth?

666
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 2: Well, if God says something good can come out of.

667
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: This, then amen to what he says. And let every

668
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: man be a liar.

669
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:03,720
Speaker 2: Because I got my own Amen. I love the worst

670
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 2: say that. But if you want to take it to

671
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 2: the next level, and you just might, then you can

672
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,839
Speaker 2: do what Jesus did in.

673
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 1: John chapter one, verse fifty.

674
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 2: You know, Nathaniel comes toward Jesus, and I love Jesus

675
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 2: because watch this, he sees.

676
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: The best in me. I'm grateful.

677
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 2: That he knows the worst of me, but he sees

678
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 2: the best in me. You can't say that about anybody else.

679
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,800
Speaker 1: You're still ken. My mother, she don't know the worst,

680
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 1: not the worst, not the worst. I'm not talking about

681
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:57,800
Speaker 1: what she caught you for when you were in tenth grade.

682
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:01,319
Speaker 2: I'm talking about what you still deal with. And God

683
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 2: knows that. That was Nathaniel's issue with Jesus. He said,

684
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 2: how do you know me? I thought about doing an illustration,

685
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 2: but I didn't have time to work it out in advance,

686
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,280
Speaker 2: where I was just gonna walk up to somebody random

687
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,320
Speaker 2: that that I didn't know and start saying stuff about him.

688
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 2: You know, how's your daughter she doing good over there

689
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 2: at Sanford University?

690
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 1: How's that new Honda Civic treatment you like it?

691
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,399
Speaker 2: I was gonna find out from somebody else, and then

692
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 2: just so I was gonna walk down and there's no

693
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 2: way I could know all this and just freak them out.

694
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 2: And that's what it must have been like for Nathaniel

695
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 2: because he's like, we'll see about this Jesus of Nazareth.

696
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 1: Iin't never heard of Jesus from now the Bible. Don't

697
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 1: sayjess come come from nazer Say he's con come from

698
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 1: battal him. And I know my Bible, so he well,

699
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 1: he did come from Bethelhem. You just didn't dig deep enough.

700
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,360
Speaker 1: So now Nathaniel, he's got kind of like a cynical

701
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 1: or skeptical attitude. He's like, I got to see it

702
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 1: to believe it. Show me this Jesus, Now this is crazy.

703
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 1: He's like, I got to see it to believe it.

704
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 1: Verse forty seven.

705
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 2: When Jesus saw Nathaniel approaching, he said of him, how's

706
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 2: that Honda Civic working out? How's your daughter doing there

707
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:15,359
Speaker 2: at Samford University? Here truly is an Israelite in whom

708
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 2: there is no deceit. He knew something about him that

709
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 2: he shouldn't know. And Nathaniel said, how do you know me?

710
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 1: Are you a staler or a savior?

711
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 2: Jesus, I saw you while you were still under the victory,

712
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 2: before Philip called you, before Philip called before, before.

713
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: Before they called you. I knew you. Oh that's good news.

714
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 2: I'm so glad God picked me before I was born,

715
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 2: because after that he might not have wanted me.

716
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:51,919
Speaker 1: I've done some dumb stuff since then.

717
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 2: I'm so glad he knit me together in my mother's womb.

718
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,800
Speaker 2: I'm so glad he chose me and he saw me

719
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 2: on my fig tree. Under the fig tree was a

720
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 2: euphanism in Judaism. It wasn't a literal term. It meant

721
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 2: when you meditated. You know how, we might say I'm

722
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 2: in the lab. That doesn't mean you're a scientist. That

723
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 2: just means I'm working on something. You know how, you

724
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 2: might say I'm cooking. You're not really making spaghetti. You

725
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 2: mean I'm working on something. Under the fig tree was

726
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:28,320
Speaker 2: the way they would describe meditating under the fig tree.

727
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 2: It could have been physical, too, but there is rabbinic

728
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 2: evidence to suggest that Nathaniel was meditating, and Jesus is saying,

729
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:37,280
Speaker 2: I know what you've been thinking about.

730
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 1: In other words, I know what's in you.

731
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 2: And Philip may have found you, Jesus says, but who

732
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:53,319
Speaker 2: do you think found Philip? This is the funniest thing

733
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,240
Speaker 2: I've ever seen in the Bible. Y'all have been preaching

734
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 2: at this church for twenty years I preached for ten.

735
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 1: Years before that, and I never laughed harder reading the

736
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 1: Bible than I did this week.

737
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 2: Did you see in verse forty five where it says

738
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 2: Philip found Nathaniel and told him we have found the

739
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:11,399
Speaker 2: one Moses wrote about in the Law.

740
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 1: I laughed when I saw that, because he said, we

741
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 1: have found the one. We found Jesus.

742
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 2: But all you got to do is back up to

743
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,879
Speaker 2: Versus deceee why I laughed verse forty three. The next

744
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 2: day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee, finding Philip.

745
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:35,800
Speaker 1: How quick we forget that I didn't find him? Uh huh.

746
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 1: I didn't choose him. He chose me.

747
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 2: You want to know why I'm here today, Not because

748
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 2: I found Jesus. The truth of the matter is some

749
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 2: of us weren't even looking, but he was. Some of

750
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 2: us weren't even seeking, but he was. Some of us

751
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 2: didn't even want to come to church, but something made.

752
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 1: To come, didn't it. Why? Because you had to get

753
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:06,840
Speaker 1: this word. Philip didn't find Jesus.

754
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 2: Jesus found Philip, and the same is true of me.

755
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:15,800
Speaker 2: It's my story is not the story of Stephen seeking Jesus.

756
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 1: My story is Jesus sought Stephen. He found me.

757
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 2: And the reason that's good news is if I found him.

758
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 1: That means I could lose him again.

759
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 6: But if he found me, I said, if he found me,

760
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 6: that means there's no valley too low, no mountain too high,

761
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 6: no road too far, no nater too small, no fin.

762
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:47,799
Speaker 1: Too great, no saying too strong, no grain too deep.

763
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 1: He found me.

764
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:56,839
Speaker 2: That's why I'm happy. That's why I'm excited. That's why

765
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 2: I'm confident.

766
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: The psalm is set in Psalm twenty seven, verse thirteen.

767
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 2: I would have despaired unless I believe that I would

768
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 2: see the goodness of the Lord in the land of

769
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:13,720
Speaker 2: the Living.

770
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 1: Check out the verse.

771
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 2: I would have despaired, given up, quit no hope unless

772
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 2: I believe that I would see You say see it

773
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 2: to believe it. God says, believe it to see it.

774
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 2: And if you believe, the walls can fall. And if

775
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 2: you shout while you're still staring at him, and if

776
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:37,800
Speaker 2: you start declaring over my family, my family is blessed.

777
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 2: I know everybody's acting dysfunctional right now, but my family

778
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 2: is blessed. The roots are blessed, the branches are blessed.

779
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 2: My body is blessed. My mind is blessed. Depressed but blessed.

780
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 2: Stressed but blessed. Confused.

781
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 1: He sees you under the fig tree.

782
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:57,840
Speaker 2: He sees what you're crying about.

783
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 1: He sees what you're confused about. And he calls you anyway,

784
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 1: and he calls you while you are still under the

785
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 1: fig tree. And he told Philip, come and see. And

786
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:17,719
Speaker 1: he told.

787
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 10: Nathaniel, Nathaniel, you think me seeing you under that tree

788
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 10: is a reason to believe Nathaniel, you ain't seen.

789
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:31,840
Speaker 1: Nothing.

790
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:35,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, think about all the things Jesus could have said,

791
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 2: I'm not done yet.

792
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 1: Think about all the things Jesus could have said to Nathaniel.

793
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 2: He could have said when Nathaniel came, look at it.

794
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 1: In verse forty seven, jaid.

795
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 2: He could said, he's I'm approaching, and he knows that

796
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 2: he just talked bad about Nazareth.

797
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 1: That's his hometown, y'all. He could have said, oh, here

798
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: he comes, Oh Nathaniel, Oh Nathaniel.

799
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:06,360
Speaker 2: That doesn't all negative, Nate, aren't you glad he sees the.

800
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 1: Vest in you? He could say, oh, messed up, Matt.

801
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:13,240
Speaker 1: But he don't see that stuff. He sees a miracle.

802
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm preaching too.

803
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 2: But he called you while you were still under the

804
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:20,400
Speaker 2: fig tree.

805
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 1: He called you right in the middle of the messed

806
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:24,759
Speaker 1: up mine. He called you right in the middle of

807
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 1: the mess Nazary. Can anything good come from Nasar? Follow

808
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:35,799
Speaker 1: me and find out. That's what he's saying. He don't

809
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 1: call him negative, Nathaniel.

810
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:40,880
Speaker 2: You know how we nicknamed the Bible characters according to

811
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:42,479
Speaker 2: their absolute lowest point.

812
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 1: Doubting Thomas, What.

813
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 2: You mean, doubting Thomas, Thomas said, I'll go and die

814
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 2: with you.

815
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:52,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, doubting Thomas. More like, honest Thomas.

816
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 2: If we could read your mind, if we could get

817
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 2: under your fig tree, everything else going up under daring

818
00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:02,920
Speaker 2: that good either. By the way, I just felt the

819
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 2: Lord drop this in my spirit, so I say it.

820
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:08,280
Speaker 2: Some of you need to remember this. Who are raising

821
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 2: kids who are lost right now? The Lord knows where

822
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:12,440
Speaker 2: to find him.

823
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:25,319
Speaker 1: He found you, didn't he he found you.

824
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:34,839
Speaker 2: That's why I called the sermons seeking Jesus, because I'm.

825
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 1: I realized that I'm not really the one seeking he is.

826
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 1: He is.

827
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 5: The seeking Jesus, not just the saving Jesus, not just

828
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 5: the healing Jesus.

829
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 1: He's the seeking Jesus.

830
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 2: And he's looking for one who's lost, and he'll leave

831
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 2: ninety nine to get him.

832
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 1: And a lady came up to me the other day

833
00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 1: and she gave me a I brought one. She gave me.

834
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:12,400
Speaker 8: A little Jesus. You can't even see that canyon. I said,

835
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:16,800
Speaker 8: that's nice, thank you. I said, what am I supposed

836
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 8: to do with this? She said, no, just for the

837
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 8: love is cute. And I'm like, it is cute, thank you.

838
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:29,360
Speaker 8: And I'm not hating on this, I mean, but something about.

839
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 11: It, something about something about many Jesus. And then she

840
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 11: told me, she goes, they're cool.

841
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 2: You can hide them different places and people can find them.

842
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:50,359
Speaker 2: And I was preparing this message, thinking like, that's how

843
00:47:50,400 --> 00:48:00,879
Speaker 2: we think about him sometimes. Yeah, oh, isn't that wonderful. Well,

844
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 2: let me remind you what to think of when you

845
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 2: look at it.

846
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:04,879
Speaker 1: Remember every time you pick it up.

847
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:08,920
Speaker 2: Remember that this is just a reminder that I'm not

848
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:12,920
Speaker 2: holding him.

849
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 1: He's holding me. Let's see, that's me.

850
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 2: And I'm not interested in shrinking Jesus down to where

851
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 2: I think. See, when my life really runs up on

852
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 2: the types of battles that I have to fight as

853
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 2: a brown man, I don't need many Jesus. I need

854
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 2: a mighty Jesus. You ain't seen nothing yet, Nathaniel. You

855
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 2: think that's something, he says. In verse fifty one, he says,

856
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,440
Speaker 2: verily or truthfully, I tell you the truth.

857
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:54,320
Speaker 1: You will see heaven open.

858
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 2: You will see angels ascending and descending.

859
00:48:58,080 --> 00:48:58,919
Speaker 1: On the Son of Man.

860
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 2: He's prophesied from Jacob in the Book of Genesis, but

861
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 2: he's prophesying about the cross. He's prophesying about salvation. He's saying,

862
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 2: you see nothing yet.

863
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 1: Put it back up. Verily, I say unto you. The

864
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 1: King James says.

865
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 2: Very truly, I tell you very true.

866
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:16,799
Speaker 1: Woo ooh.

867
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:20,360
Speaker 2: You need the original language to really get this. In

868
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 2: the original language.

869
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:23,719
Speaker 1: He doesn't say very truly, I tell you no. He

870
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:26,840
Speaker 1: says amen. Amen.

871
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:32,360
Speaker 2: He says it twice twenty five times in the Gospel

872
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 2: of John.

873
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:36,040
Speaker 1: Not in Matthew, not in Luke, not in Mark.

874
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:40,880
Speaker 2: In John alone, Jesus is recorded twenty five times he

875
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:43,760
Speaker 2: says amen, and then he says it again.

876
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:45,439
Speaker 1: Now, let's break this down.

877
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 2: He said, very truly, I say to you, you ain't

878
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:52,799
Speaker 2: seen nothing yet, Nathaniel. You are only getting started. You

879
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:55,240
Speaker 2: want to see what it looks like to walk by faith.

880
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:58,920
Speaker 2: Follow me and find out. Follow me with questions, follow me.

881
00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 1: With doubts, Follow me with impurities.

882
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 2: I'll work them out. Follow me with sin, I'll wash

883
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:06,920
Speaker 2: it away. Follow me just just seek me for who

884
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 2: I really am. Just follow me and you will find out.

885
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 1: Amen. Amen, I tell you will see heaven open.

886
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:18,640
Speaker 2: But what is interesting about Amen in this culture is

887
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 2: not just that he said it twice, is that he

888
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:28,799
Speaker 2: said it for himself. Normally, when someone makes a statement

889
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:35,279
Speaker 2: of truth, someone who is listening will say amen in response.

890
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:41,040
Speaker 1: But when Jesus, when Jesus.

891
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 2: I'm gonna put this one up here with you, LJ,

892
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 2: I don't need him right now. When my great big

893
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:51,279
Speaker 2: water walk in Jesus, when he speaks the thing, he

894
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:55,239
Speaker 2: doesn't wait to find out if you agree. If he

895
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 2: said it, that settles it.

896
00:50:58,320 --> 00:50:59,720
Speaker 1: Nobody's shout Amen.

897
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:03,640
Speaker 6: He said I'm here, he's set, I'm free.

898
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:06,759
Speaker 1: He's said I'm forgiven. He said I'm right to us.

899
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:08,160
Speaker 1: He said I'm cleared.

900
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:12,480
Speaker 2: He said it's done, it is vital, it is finished,

901
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:20,640
Speaker 2: it is settled, it is rickedid Amen Amen again, Amen.

902
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:24,880
Speaker 1: Amen, who amen? Amen?

903
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:28,799
Speaker 2: Hot Five three people say amen and amen, Amen and

904
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:32,399
Speaker 2: amen Amen, and amen, Amen.

905
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:35,839
Speaker 1: And amen, And I got something for you. Loast watch this.

906
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:39,759
Speaker 2: Not only did he say it twice, which means it's

907
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:42,960
Speaker 2: a covenant. Not only did he say it for himself,

908
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:47,759
Speaker 2: which means he'll fulfill it. He said it before the

909
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:52,320
Speaker 2: truth that he spoke when he said it, because Jesus

910
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 2: doesn't need to wait for the amen.

911
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:57,399
Speaker 5: He is the.

912
00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:01,400
Speaker 2: Amen of God in the again, where's my band?

913
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:02,839
Speaker 1: What's the word?

914
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:05,319
Speaker 2: And the word was with God?

915
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:09,200
Speaker 1: And the word what God?

916
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:17,279
Speaker 2: He said, Amen, whatever comes after it is true, he said.

917
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:17,760
Speaker 8: Amen.

918
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:19,399
Speaker 1: Nothing could cancel it.

919
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:20,200
Speaker 8: He said.

920
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:20,680
Speaker 1: Amen.

921
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:25,440
Speaker 2: He says good as done, so be it.

922
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:32,720
Speaker 1: Amen. Amen. The first words of John's.

Speaker 1: Amen. And if you belie, you will see.

928
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:11,680
Speaker 3: Jesus, not little Jesus, you will see King Jesus.

Speaker 2: When the King sneaks a word, it cannot be overturned.

934
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:48,280
Speaker 1: Now I need the whole church to receive this song.

935
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:52,040

Speaker 2: your hands in the air right now, and you say.

937
