37
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 5: You know, I'm reminded today that God always starts small.

38
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 5: God takes the small and goes big. You know, God's

39
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 5: got a way of doing things with seeds that multiply.

40
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 4: And today I just want to remind every one of us.

41
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 5: You may feel small, you may feel like you don't

42
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 5: have enough, or there maybe some small things in your

43
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 5: life you don't know if you really can handle. But

44
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 5: I want to tell you something. When you put those

45
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 5: small things in the hands of Jesus, you know what,

46
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 5: He can go from small to big.

47
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 4: He can go from small to big. You see. God

48
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 4: told the.

49
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 5: Israelites when they were going to possess the land in Deuteronomy,

50
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 5: he says, I'm going to decrease your enemies so that

51
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 5: you can increase. He said it like this, He says,

52
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 5: little by little, I AM going to decrease the enemies

53
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 5: in the land so that you can increase and take

54
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 5: possession of the entire.

55
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 4: Promise in this land. You see, God started small and

56
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 4: wanted them to go big.

57
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 5: So he wanted them to have the capacity to be

58
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 5: able to handle what he was going to give them.

59
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,239
Speaker 5: He didn't want the land to overtake them. He wanted

60
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 5: them to overtake the land. But he had to decrease

61
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 5: the enemies small slowly.

62
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 4: So that they could increase.

63
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 5: So that means that God was increasing them incrementally throughout

64
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 5: their journey. And do you know That's what God wants

65
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 5: to do for you today. He wants to increase you.

66
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 5: What you think is small and insignificant.

67
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 4: God wants to go big with it. But you got to.

68
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 5: Learn to handle the small first. Many of you know

69
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 5: the story in Matthew for and the Gospels. When Jesus

70
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 5: was preaching and teaching to the multitudes, they'd.

71
00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 4: Been with him all day long.

72
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 5: He he had healed the sick among them, and he was

73
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 5: just loving on them all day long. And the disciples

74
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 5: came to Jesus and they said, Jesus, the people haven't

75
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 5: eaten all day, and it's starting to become evening, and

76
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 5: they need to leave, and they need to go find food.

77
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 5: Would you release them, Jesus, so that they can go

78
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 5: to the villages and find the food.

79
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 4: We don't have enough food to feed them.

80
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 5: And Jesus said, it's not necessary for me to release

81
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 5: the people. You feed them. They said, we don't have

82
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 5: enough to feed them. We only have five loaves and

83
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 5: two fish. It is not enough to feed the multitude.

84
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 5: It's too small. I love the way Jesus said, you

85
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 5: feed them. Now, he'd been doing miracles all day. Wasn't

86
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 5: going to be difficult for Jesus to just multiply the food.

87
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 5: The disciples hadn't done any miracles. But yet he looked

88
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 5: at them and said, you feed them. You see what

89
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 5: they thought was small, what they thought they couldn't handle.

90
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 5: See they couldn't handle feeding this many people with such

91
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 5: a small thing. He said, bring it to me, and

92
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 5: you know the story. They brought it to Jesus. He

93
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 5: broke it, he blessed it, and he gave it back

94
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 5: to them so that they could feed the multitudes. You see,

95
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 5: Jesus took that small and let them go big. He

96
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 5: let them be a blessing that day. He let what

97
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 5: they had in their hands feed the multitude. I want

98
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 5: you to know that God thinks the small is very important.

99
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 5: Oftentimes we overlook the small because we want to go big.

100
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 5: Oftentimes we don't think we have to deal with the

101
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 5: small because it's not going to make that much difference anyway.

102
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 5: I believe Jesus was telling us in this story, the

103
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 5: small things matter. Don't overlook the small things. You see

104
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 5: too often we think that the complaining doesn't really make

105
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 5: a difference. We think because we're not treating our spouse right,

106
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 5: it doesn't really matter.

107
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,799
Speaker 4: It's not what we're wanting to do anyway.

108
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 5: The lack of integrity, maybe leaving the office early, sneaking out,

109
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 5: it's okay, my boss isn't looking. See, those are small

110
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:44,559
Speaker 5: things that matter to God. They're small things. He's saying,

111
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 5: how you handling the small things? Observe the small things.

112
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 5: Then too often we say we don't have enough. They

113
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 5: don't match the dream, they don't match my desires. I

114
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 5: don't have the right education, I don't have the proper

115
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 5: finance is. I don't have the resources. I didn't come

116
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 5: from the right family.

117
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 4: I can't do what I would like to do.

118
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 5: That's small stuff, too. See, all of this stuff is small.

119
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 5: But God likes to take the small and he likes

120
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 5: to go big.

121
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 4: But we've got to put the importance on the small.

122
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 4: You know. I believe that's why God gives us babies,

123
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 4: because they're.

124
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 5: Small, then they go big. Can you imagine Him giving

125
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 5: us this grown baby. We wouldn't know what to do

126
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 5: with it.

127
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 4: God a holy starts with the seed.

128
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 5: He wants us to go big, But we gotta handle

129
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 5: the small stuff. Like the Disciples, they had it in

130
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,559
Speaker 5: their hand, they didn't know how to handle it until

131
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 5: Jesus gave him the secret.

132
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 4: Bring it to me.

133
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 5: Listen, you've got some problems in your life, you got

134
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 5: some some unforgiveness in your life. See, those small things

135
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 5: can go big if you don't bring them to Jesus,

136
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 5: the bitterness, the root of envy, jealousy. Those things can

137
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 5: all go big if you don't bring them to Jesus.

138
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 5: You want him to multiply, You want him to give

139
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 5: you promotion. You got to work the small things. You

140
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 5: gotta not overlook the small things. You know, we're sitting

141
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 5: in this auditorium today, and it's amazing, it's beautiful. We

142
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,559
Speaker 5: get to gather together, we get to sing, we get

143
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 5: to worship God in such.

144
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 4: A magnificent place.

145
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 5: But you know when what I remember about this building

146
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 5: over thirty two years ago, sitting up there by the

147
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 5: flag watching the Rockets play basketball. It was my very

148
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 5: first state with my husband Joel. You see, it looks

149
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:55,079
Speaker 5: one way to you, but Gosh, looks another way to me.

150
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 5: You see, it started with a seed, But can I

151
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 5: tell you there was a lot of small stuff along

152
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 5: the way. And can I tell you this, We'll never

153
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 5: ever get rid of the small stuff. It doesn't matter

154
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 5: how big you go. There's always the small stuff you

155
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 5: have to bring to Jesus. There's always the small stuff.

156
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 4: When we learn how to handle.

157
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 5: The small stuff, God will give us more stuff to handle.

158
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 5: He'll enlarge our capacity. You see, thirty two years ago,

159
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 5: Joel and I could never handle what's going on in

160
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 5: our life today.

161
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 4: It would have overtaken us. Instead of us possessing it,

162
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 4: it would have possessed us.

163
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 5: We did not have capacity. We were not in that

164
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 5: place that we could deal with it. And see, that

165
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 5: is what God.

166
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 4: Is saying to you.

167
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 5: He is saying, I want you to possess, but I

168
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 5: want you to start.

169
00:09:58,320 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 4: With the small stuff.

170
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 5: We went to the funeral service of the great evangelist

171
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 5: Billy Graham Friday and celebrated ninety nine years of a

172
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 5: man who touched millions. We celebrate this iconic legend. We

173
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 5: see his big life, but we don't see the small

174
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 5: stuff he dealt with every single day, the choices, the adjustments,

175
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 5: the things that he did when no one was looking,

176
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 5: the things that he did when he didn't know if

177
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 5: it would even make a difference. You see, we see

178
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 5: the big, we fail to see the small. I have

179
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 5: a beautiful oak tree in my front yard and it

180
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 5: spans forever with the limbs. And as I look at

181
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 5: that tree, it's very difficult for me to believe that

182
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 5: it started from an acorn.

183
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 4: You see, it's big.

184
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 5: All I see is the big tree.

185
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 4: Had to start small. God takes the small and he

186
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 4: goes big.

187
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 5: Can I tell you if you will learn to handle

188
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 5: the small things? The secret is bring them all to Jesus,

189
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 5: let him break them, let him bless them, and He'll

190
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 5: go big in your life.

191
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,079
