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
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: Hope you're blessed today.

6
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 3: I do have a word from the Lord today. Praise

7
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 3: the Lord.

8
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: I want to share with you today and pick right

9
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: up from where we left off last week. Standing at

10
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:39,319
Speaker 1: the Red Sea and Pharaoh and his chariots are behind us.

11
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: An impossible looking obstacle is in front of us. And

12
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: last week I preached a message called it still works.

13
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: When I said that, I was referring to the rod,

14
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: the stick, the staff that Moses held in his hand,

15
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: and I was sharing just as we closed and we

16
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: ran out of time. He had seen that the stick

17
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: could turn into a snake when he threw it on

18
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: the ground, but he was about to find out that

19
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: it'll work in water too. And my message to you is,

20
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: don't be afraid when you face a new challenge, because

21
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: what God gave you back then is good enough to

22
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: get you through this too. And I do want to

23
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 1: encourage somebody today you'll get through this too. You've been

24
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 1: through a lot of things and you'll get through this too,

25
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: but I want to get much more specific today, So

26
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: I'm going to share from Exodus, chapter fourteen, verses ten

27
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: through sixteen, and then one more verse as well, and

28
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: I'll give you the title in just a moment. But

29
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: read with me here. The people of God are looking

30
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: forward to a brand new beginning. God has sent them

31
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: a deliverer named Moses. He has unleashed ten plagues on

32
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: Pharaoh and the Egyptian households. God's people are no sooner

33
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: out of Egypt than Egypt starts trying to get back

34
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: into them. I have found out that it's one thing

35
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: for you to let Pharaoh go. It's another thing for

36
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: Pharaoh to let you go. And sometimes Pharaoh lets you go,

37
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,839
Speaker 1: and you still don't let him go. And sometimes God

38
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: says you free from something. But it has an effect

39
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: in your life. And you're thinking, man, I thought I

40
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: was starting over. I thought this was a fresh beginning

41
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: for me. And just as they are moving forward into

42
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: their fresh beginning as the people of God and staring

43
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: at the Red Sea, they hear a familiar sound of

44
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: the chariots of the armies of Pharaoh. Now watch their

45
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: response in verse ten. As Pharaoh approached the Israelites looked

46
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: up and there were the Egyptians marching after them. They

47
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: were terrified and cried out to the Lord. They said

48
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: to Moses, was it because there were no graves in

49
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: Egypt that you brought us to the desert to die?

50
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 1: What have you done to us by bringing us out

51
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: of Egypt? Didn't we say to you? And he leave

52
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: us alone, Let us serve the Egyptians. It would have

53
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to

54
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: die in the desert. Moses answered, the people, do not

55
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: be afraid. Stand firm, and you will see the deliverance

56
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see

57
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 1: today you will never see again. The Lord will fight

58
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: for you. You need only to be still. Now that

59
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: verse verse fourteen is complicated because half of it is

60
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: correct and half of it is misleading. The Lord will

61
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: fight for you, But that second part you need only

62
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: to be still. The Lord speaks up and corrects it

63
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: in verse fifteen. Now listen to this verse, because this

64
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: is the hinge for my message. Then the Lord said

65
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: to Moses, why are you crying out to me? Tell

66
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: the Israelites to move on. Raise your staff, touch your

67
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: neighbors say, is still works. It still works. Raise your staff,

68
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: the same staff that worked with the sheep, the same

69
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: staff that turned into a snake, the same staff that

70
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: turned the nile into blood, the same staff they called

71
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: down hail from heaven, that same staff.

72
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 3: Raise it now, and stretch out.

73
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: Your hand over the sea to divide the water so

74
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground.

75
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: Now drop down, police to verse twenty one and twenty two.

76
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and

77
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: all that night the Lord drove back the sea with

78
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,239
Speaker 1: a strong east wind and turned it into dry land.

79
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: The waters were divided, and the Israelites went through the

80
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: sea on dry ground, with the wall of water on

81
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: their right and on their left. What a story. One

82
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: more verse Romans, Chapter eight, Verse thirty one. You're gonna

83
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: like this one. You're gonna be tempted to get a

84
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: tattoo of this one your parents. First, though, you might

85
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: want to set your alarm to eight thirty one am

86
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: tomorrow morning so you can remember this one when the

87
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: alarm goes off. See what you think about this verse?

88
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: What then shall we say in response to these things?

89
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 3: If God is.

90
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: For us who can be against us. I don't know

91
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: where you're at in this story. I don't know what

92
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: chapter you're stuck in, but the title of my message is,

93
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: you can change the end. You can change the end.

94
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: I don't know how much time you've wasted, but you

95
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: can change the end. I don't know if you like

96
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: what it looks like today, but you can change the end.

97
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've been a good Christian in

98
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: high school, but you can change the end. You can

99
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: change the end. Father, give us faith to receive the

100
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: impartation of your word in Jesus' name. Amen, touch three

101
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 1: people say change it on your way to your seat,

102
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: because you can change the end. You can change the end. Boy,

103
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: what a thought. You can change the end. You can

104
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: change the end. See because a fresh start is technically impossible.

105
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: I know we all want one, I know we may

106
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: need one. But you know the experiences of your past

107
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: don't evaporate as you move into your future. And you

108
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 1: know that. You know that doesn't keep us from praying. God,

109
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: just give me like a reset, like if it was

110
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: a video game. I just just go back and do

111
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: that again. You can't really have a fresh start. But

112
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: what I want to try to show you today practically

113
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: is that you can't get a fresh start, but you

114
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: can take a forward step. So we have three responses

115
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: essentially in this passage that I just read you to

116
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: an impossible obstacle, and I'll break them down for you

117
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: as we begin. The first response is the response of

118
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: God's people. The response of God's people, and their response,

119
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: to be summed up in two words, is it's over. Right,

120
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: We've only been free for a few days and here

121
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: comes Pharaoh to drag us back, and it's over. That's

122
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: their response. And not only are they responding it's over

123
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: with desperation, but their desperation leads to anger. With Moses specifically,

124
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: because they are afraid, they get angry, and so the

125
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: anger is a response to the fear, because rather than

126
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: just feel the fear and move forward, they stop in

127
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: a place to place blame on the person whose fault

128
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: they think it is. So anytime that you see someone

129
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: who is angry, including yourself, ask the question what are

130
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: they afraid of? Because the anger is usually a masquerade

131
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: for the fact that they're afraid. That's the response of

132
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: God's people is over and they're afraid, and they start

133
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: doing revisionist history. Moses, we told you to leave us alone.

134
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: No you didn't. You begged him to bring you out.

135
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: We told you we were better off in Egypt. No,

136
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: you didn't tell us you better off in Egypt. You're

137
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: adding that part back. I found out that oftentimes our

138
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: version of the past is just as imaginary as our

139
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: version of the future, and we go back through things,

140
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: especially when we're feeling paralyzed, and we project things onto

141
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: the past that never happens. So that's the situation with

142
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 1: God's people. Everybody say, is over. Put it in the

143
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: chat is over. That's their response. Response number two is Moses,

144
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: and Moses is trying to bring some calm. He's like

145
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: beathing everybody box, breathing everybody for him, hold it for

146
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: four out, downward dog, upward dog, whatever y'all need to

147
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: do to chill out. Be still. God's got this, and

148
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: he's saying the thing that it would be appropriate for

149
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: a leader to say in this situation. His response is

150
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: stand still. But there's a third response in the passage

151
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: that we want to talk about for a few moments today,

152
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: and I want to apply directly to your life of

153
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: the situations that you're facing that seem impossible, and the

154
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: past is threatening to drag you back, and it looks

155
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 1: like it's over. God's response says, move on. So there

156
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: are three responses for us to consider here today. One

157
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: is desperation followed by fear and then manifesting in anger

158
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: is over. The second one is the response of Moses,

159
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: where he says stand still, God's going to do it.

160
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: It's going to be fine. And then the third one

161
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: is God's response and spoiler alert, God's right and Moses

162
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: is wrong. Now, I wish I could teach a leadership

163
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: session off of this text, because I would really love to.

164
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 1: One of my favorite things to teach as a leader

165
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: for those who work closely with me, especially, I always

166
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: train this. I say, big doors swing on little hinges.

167
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: I didn't make that up, but I say it all

168
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: the time, and I'm trying to get them to understand

169
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: when I say that to them is you may think

170
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: this really doesn't matter, but big doors swing on little hinges.

171
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: You know it matters to me how we run our

172
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: e Kids ministry. Do you know what I'm saying? Because

173
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: if they feed your kid, you know, a rotten animal

174
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 1: cracker and they get sick in the emergency room or

175
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: something like that, and you see the church, you know,

176
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: or if they choke back there, that could be a

177
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: big door to a lawsuit that swings on a little hinge.

178
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: So I'm like, let's be safe in the children's ministry

179
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: or even little things. I mess up things sometimes and

180
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: I have to tell myself, you know, slow down, because

181
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: big doors swing on little hinges. In the case of Moses,

182
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 1: you might ask the question, when God gives him the

183
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: command and to stretch out his staff over the sea,

184
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: what good is something so small stretched over something so big.

185
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: How could something as small as a stick affect something

186
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: as big as a sea. Well, big doors swing on

187
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: little hinges. Or you might say big seas open with

188
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: little sticks, and that would be a good leadership sermon.

189
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 1: Even just the other week, I didn't tell you this yet, LJ,

190
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: but I messed up. I texted Tiffany that I wanted

191
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: her to do her new song and I wanted her

192
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: in Devied to sing it. And when I sent the text,

193
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: I said, we need to try it in church one Sunday.

194
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: This was on a Saturday night, and I wasn't going

195
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: to be at church the next day. I was off

196
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: that weekend, and so I texted her. I said, hey,

197
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: we need to do that in church. We haven't done

198
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: it in church yet. We need to do it in

199
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: church one Sunday. Well, I turned on church online and

200
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: they were doing it the next day. I thought, wow,

201
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: what a turnaround time in firing motivational leader. I am.

202
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 3: They did it that quick.

203
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: I mean I thought maybe they would get everybody ready

204
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: and let the band rehearse. They turned that thing around quick,

205
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: and I thought, well, that's kind of strange. You know,

206
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:11,959
Speaker 1: they should have given the band more time to learn it,

207
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: and maybe the singers and everything like that. So I

208
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: pulled back up the text and I said, man, why

209
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: was Tiffany so over eager? Like we didn't have to

210
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: do it within twelve hours. We could have done it

211
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: next week or something like that. And I pulled back

212
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: up the text that said we need to do it

213
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: one Sunday, or so I thought I texted, But what

214
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: I actually texted was on Sunday, so big inconvenience for

215
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: them because of one letter for me, and now everybody's

216
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: scrambling to learn a song. And I didn't mean we

217
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 1: have to do it tomorrow, but one letter everybody say

218
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: one letter, one word, one word, just one word, And

219
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: now everybody's having to pull out court charts because you

220
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: have to understand that big doors swing on little hinges.

221
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: Good marriage is by little eye rolls. Big problems, big

222
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 1: addictions begin with little curiosities. By the same token, great

223
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: joy can terrupt from small praise Yeah, And by the

224
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: same token, just a small decision, the smallest decision that

225
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: you make can be a hinge to the biggest event

226
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: and approve it to you. From this the exodust narrative,

227
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: Exodust means exit. This is to be the defining, distinguishing

228
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: miracle of the people of God for centuries to come.

229
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 1: And it starts with a stick, because big doors swing

230
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: on little hinges. But it matters in this moment for Moses,

231
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: what response will you give when the results are not

232
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: under your control? And this is the separation that we

233
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: have to make for the decisions of our life too.

234
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: When God corrects Moses in this passage because the people

235
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 1: are crying out and asking him to do something about

236
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: their enemy, and he says that what you have in

237
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: your hand is enough for what I've called you to do. Next,

238
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: remember something as small as a stick, little hinges, something

239
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: as big as a ce big door. What is that

240
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: picture for you today? I need you to stop and

241
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: think about it so that we don't dislocate our application

242
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: by going back into the past of the history of

243
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: the text and realizing that you yourself are standing at

244
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: hinge moments every day. That's what I call them hinge moments.

245
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: It's the moment where you decide go back, go forward,

246
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: stand still. It's the moment where you decide continue to

247
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: blame and become more and more bitter, or forgive and

248
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: be set free for my future. It's a hinge moment.

249
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: And you say, well, it's not that big of a deal.

250
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: It is a big deal because the smallest of offenses

251
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: can become the most unforgiving prisons. And it matters what

252
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: you do in this moment.

253
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 3: Now.

254
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: Moses and the children of Israel have a perspective on

255
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: this miracle that we do not have because they had

256
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: to respond in real time. And this is the challenge,

257
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: not that we would respond to God's goodness with praise

258
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: on Sunday. My goal for you when you leave this

259
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: sermon today and every Sunday is that your real time

260
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: response would reflect what God spoke to you in the service.

261
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: So that means that when you get bumped by life,

262
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: the word that you receive from God comes out of

263
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: you instead of the other stuff, because there is some

264
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: other stuff that comes out of us. I got an

265
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: encouraging testimony from Lindsey, who serves on our staff. Y'all

266
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: give Lindsay a hand real quick, and she said, thank

267
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: you for the message that you preached last week. She

268
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: said it really helped me. She said, you talked about

269
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: how sometimes you have to do it doubting, and the

270
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: Lord really confirmed something for me. I said, well, what

271
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: was it, if you don't mind me asking. She said,

272
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: I have been feeling overwhelmed by the responsibilities that my boss,

273
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: who is Chad and he's also here today, has been

274
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: asking me to fulfill. Now she was texting me this

275
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: all right. She was saying, I've been feeling overwhelmed because

276
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: he's been asking me to step up and I have

277
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: been shrinking back because not only does she have a

278
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: very young and growing family. But she said, I was

279
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: comparing myself to the other leaders and how they did it.

280
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: I was comparing myself to people that I think are

281
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: more confident. But the Lord really spoke to me that

282
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: I need to step up in my area of responsibility,

283
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: and he used the word that you preach to confirm that.

284
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: Now she was thanking me for the word, and then

285
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: I started thanking her for her thanks you, and I'll

286
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: tell you why. I said, Lindsey, thank you so much

287
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 1: for this text is so refreshing. Do you know how

288
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: many times I've preached sermons and people have used them

289
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: as an excuse not to step up in responsibility, but

290
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 1: to bail out on their responsibility. I remember one time

291
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 1: there was somebody who told me I was preaching about

292
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: when the Israelites left Egypt, and I was preaching specifically

293
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 1: how they had to leave before the yeast had a

294
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: chance to rise. And they were listening to me preach,

295
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 1: and what they took from that message was God is

296
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: calling me to quit my job. I don't have another

297
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: one lined up. I don't have health insurance, and I

298
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: have kids. My husband doesn't have a job. We don't

299
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: have another thing to step into. But Pastor, when you

300
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: said leave Egypt before the bread has time to rise,

301
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: I just decided to quit. And the organization they were

302
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: quitting was Elevation Church. So now I'm thinking, am I

303
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: Pharaoh in this analogy, like if you're going to play

304
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 1: the whole thing out? Because last time I checked, you

305
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: were getting a check. So this is not exactly a

306
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 1: situation for you to escape. And I texted Lindsey back

307
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: something and.

308
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 3: The Lord told me to put it in my sermon.

309
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: For you today. Beware of any word from God that

310
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 1: pulls you toward an escape from reality rather than an

311
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: embrace of responsibility.

312
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 3: Shall I say it again? I want you to get this.

313
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: Beware of any word from God because we think we

314
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 1: get a word from God. Well, beware of any interpretation

315
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: of a word from God that pulls you toward an

316
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 1: escape from reality rather than an embrace from responsibility. Because

317
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: sometimes we confuse freedom with relief. Sometimes we will believe

318
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: that God is saying something to us.

319
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 3: Because it is what we have already decided.

320
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 1: We wanted to hear. Sometimes it is not the word

321
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: of God. It is confirmation by us that makes us

322
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: think that we heard the Lord say something. But the

323
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: Lord did not tell you to leave somebody that you

324
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: committed your life to. The Lord did not tell you

325
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: to just hop around from church to church every time

326
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 1: you get offended by one person. The Lord wants you

327
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 1: to stay long enough to learn how to work through

328
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 1: an offense in the place where you are, so you

329
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: don't end up in the prison of always having to

330
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: run from place to place. So it is a good

331
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 1: way to discern a word from God. Am I just

332
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 1: trying to get out of something? Or am I going

333
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 1: towards something? And if you don't even know what you're

334
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: going toward, it may not be God's word. It may

335
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: just be your wish. And who among us doesn't want

336
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: to escape a situation? But I have found that in

337
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:55,199
Speaker 1: many cases, by trying to escape a situation, you end

338
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,199
Speaker 1: up in a worse prison than you were in to

339
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: begin with, because now you have imprisoned yourself to the

340
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 1: flippant decision that you made to walk away from something

341
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: that God was calling you to step up in. So

342
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 1: I said, thank you, Lindsey. That means a lot to me,

343
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: because it's rare that somebody will take God's word as

344
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: a challenge to step up. We're always looking for God's

345
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 1: word to get us out of stuff. I'll give you

346
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 1: another example. I really want to break this down because

347
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 1: you're like, he's just fussing because people leave the church. No,

348
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 1: I mean you can leave if God tells you to leave.

349
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,479
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to get you not to leave things

350
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: that God has called you to be loyal too. There's

351
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 1: a reason we love the Red Sea Miracle. It's because

352
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: they're getting out and we love that kind of story.

353
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,719
Speaker 1: We're getting out. Did you miss the fact they had

354
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: to go through and even when they got through, guess

355
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 1: where they landed the wilderness.

356
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 3: Now you got to go through that.

357
00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 1: So here's an example. I've heard so many sermons and

358
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: preached many myself about how when people leave your life,

359
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 1: it's just God getting you ready for the next level.

360
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: And you know that chickens can't fly with eagles, so

361
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: tell them goodbye and go to the next level. But

362
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: I want to ask you a question. If every three

363
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 1: weeks you need a message about everybody leaving your life,

364
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,479
Speaker 1: is there a leak in your life that is causing

365
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: everybody to leave? Because if all we give you is

366
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:37,479
Speaker 1: an encouragement that God has somebody better and better and better,

367
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: you will look beyond the people that God put in

368
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: front of you for the better one that they tell

369
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 1: you is coming. But even if God sends the better one,

370
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 1: if you don't get better at relationships, they'll leave too.

371
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 1: Now you're leaking the next relationship because I'm going to

372
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 1: the next level. You're not going to the next level.

373
00:21:54,160 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 1: You are leaking love. So it's important that you get

374
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 1: this message so that you get the right response in

375
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 1: real time, in real time, so that you can come

376
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: to what looks like the end. And there can come

377
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: seasons in your life where you think like it's totally over.

378
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 1: I've totally blown it. This is it. I will never

379
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 1: be happy again, I will never have joy again. My

380
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 1: best is behind me. Now, if you've ever thought any

381
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 1: of those thoughts in your life, wave at me, so

382
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: I don't stand up here in my purple shirt looking

383
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: like Barney the Dinosaur all by myself. Wave at me,

384
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: Wave at me, Wave at me, wave at me. Here's

385
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 1: the phrase, put it on the board. Please the end,

386
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 1: the end, Okay, So let's act it out. Children of Israel,

387
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: Bubble says, they went out of Egypt marching boldly. I

388
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: love that part. They were marching boldly until they heard

389
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: something behind them. You know how you get all cocky

390
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 1: while you're in church, Tell the devil you mess with

391
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 1: the wrong one. But at six pm, tonight. God, why

392
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 1: is the devil picking on me? You know? Now you

393
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: go from bring it to God, Please get me out

394
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: of this. God, I'm sorry. I'll never do it again. Lord.

395
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 1: And so as they're leaving and they're moving toward a

396
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 1: fresh start, remember, and then they hear a familiar sound

397
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: and they come to the end of the road. The

398
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 1: end we're gonna die here is over. This is the end.

399
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: This is it. And it looked like that, and it

400
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: feels like that.

401
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 3: Can I be honest?

402
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 1: There have been so many times in my ministry where

403
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: I have thought my effectiveness and my relevance has seen

404
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: its greatest season, and now I'm going down. There were

405
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 1: times where people criticized me publicly and I thought I'll

406
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: never recover from this. There have been times where I

407
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: lost my own joy and I thought, I don't know

408
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: how I'm gonna get it back to preach. I've been

409
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: in seasons like this before, and it feels like the end.

410
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: And Moses's response is very tempting. Here just be still.

411
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,360
Speaker 3: The people are like, it's over the end.

412
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 1: Put it on the screen, y'all, good screen, it's the end.

413
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,919
Speaker 1: And Moses is like, just be still, and God's like

414
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna die right, Graham said last week, every Stephen

415
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: Ferdick sermon ends the same way you're gonna make it,

416
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 1: So I thought i'd change it up this week.

417
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 3: You might not.

418
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: You like that. You can't say that no more now,

419
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: can you. You might not make it, not if you

420
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: don't respond right in this moment. I'm not saying you're

421
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,919
Speaker 1: automatically gonna have a better tomorrow just because God is

422
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,439
Speaker 1: with you today. So, for the first time ever at

423
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: Elevation Church, touch your neighbors say.

424
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 3: You might not make it. You might not make it.

425
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: Stephen Ferdick told you that it's on a Stephen Ferdick podcast.

426
00:24:58,320 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 3: You might not make it.

427
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: If they did what Moses said, they would have died

428
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 1: because you've got to move on. You might not make

429
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,400
Speaker 1: it if you keep listening to all the sad songs

430
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 1: and never listen to a happy one. You might not

431
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: make it back next Sunday, if you keep feeding yourself

432
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: all the stuff you've been feeding yourself. So I thought

433
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: I would uplift the people of God and edify the

434
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 1: saints by telling you the message. You might not make it.

435
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: It all depends on your response because when you are

436
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 1: standing at the end. Watch this the end of the dream,

437
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: the end of the vision, the end of the relationship,

438
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 1: the end, the end, the end. There's so many unmentionable

439
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,160
Speaker 1: situations in this room today that are so deeply painful

440
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,360
Speaker 1: that if I set them right now, it would take

441
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 1: you out of the rest of the sermon, because you

442
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: go back to me. That's where I'm standing, eye am paralyzed.

443
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: I'm like the people. I'm angry because I was afraid.

444
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: I'm afraid because I'm desperate, because it looks like the end,

445
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: which is why Verse fifteen of Exodus fourteen is the

446
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: hinge of this entire lesson that God has given us,

447
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: where the Bible says, then the Lord said to Moses.

448
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: Then the Lord said to Moses. Then the Lord said

449
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: to Moses that what you need for this next season

450
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 1: is in the feet of the people moving forward into

451
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: what looks like an impossible situation. Then the Lord said

452
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 1: to Moses, So my announcement today is if you are

453
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 1: standing at the end of something, standing looking at something

454
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,880
Speaker 1: that looks impossible for you to navigate, and you don't

455
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: know how, the Lord said to tell you, you can

456
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 1: change the end.

457
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 3: Change it.

458
00:26:53,520 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 1: Jared you can change the end. Oh, come on, y'all

459
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 1: gotta do better than that.

460
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 3: I worked on that.

461
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 1: I worked like a dog to show you that. Go

462
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 1: back and do it again. They missed it, they missed it.

463
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you another chance. I'm gonna get you

464
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: another chance. I know you woke up late. I know

465
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 1: you put on those shoes that are half sized too small.

466
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: I know us your throat hurts a little bit. You

467
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: got that polling thing oh going on. It hadn't been

468
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: raining enough in Charlotte. I know you just weren't ready

469
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 1: for it. But the Lord said, I know it looks bad.

470
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,360
Speaker 1: I know it looks dire. I know you feel desperate.

471
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,360
Speaker 1: I know you're kind of angry. I know they let

472
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 1: you down. I know they walked away. I know it's

473
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 1: been a rough night. I know it's been a rough year.

474
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 1: I know it's been a rough season. I know they

475
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: abused you. I know they left you. I know they

476
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 1: abandon you. But what I put in your hand when

477
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 1: my word comes, change it, Jared.

478
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 3: You can change the end.

479
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 1: Because then the Lord said to Moses, moo, moo, stove.

480
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: Your neighbors say move. I give you a little push start,

481
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: I give you a.

482
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 4: Little trump, start, move, move, come on shop five people

483
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 4: so hard they get scared and say move because you

484
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 4: might not make it if you don't move.

485
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:19,680
Speaker 3: But if you will take what's in.

486
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 4: Your hand, I said, if you will take what's in

487
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 4: your head, it's cutting out to get you through this too.

488
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 3: Somebody take a step, say move, take a step and move.

489
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 3: Take a step and move.

490
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: Take a step and trust Scott. Take a step and

491
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: pray about it. Take a step and praise them again.

492
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: Take a step and race that baby. Take a step

493
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: and go back to the doctor and say, I'm gonna

494
00:28:51,280 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: do the treatment, but I trust Stop, Move, Move Move.

495
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: The people say why, Moses says stand God said mood,

496
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: And you've got to learn how to respond in real time.

497
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,959
Speaker 1: You might need to put this message that I preached

498
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,520

500
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: know if y'all forgot it already. It's pretty powerful because

501
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: the Romans eight thirty one kind of is my whole message.

502
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 1: Put it on the screen. Please what then, justin help

503
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: us teach today circle the word? Then?

00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 3: What then.

505
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: Shall we say in response to these things.

506
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 3: What things?

507
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: He goes on to name them, danger, pestilence, nakedness, famine, sword, trouble,

508
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: anything you can name. Paul says, what then shall we

509
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: say in response to these things? What then? Then? Show

510
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 1: him again, it looks like the end, It looks like

511
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: it's over.

512
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 3: But what change it?

513
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: Then? Shall we say in response to these things? That's

514
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: my question to you today, What then do you need

515
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: to say in response to these things? Because if you

516
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: don't get to, then you don't make it. You might

517
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: not make it. If you don't get to then so

518
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 1: it looks like this. My dad pulled me aside when

519
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: I was a young boy. He said, Son, alcoholism runs

520
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: in our family. It is a genetic disposition for you

521
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: to be an alcoholic. My father was an alcoholic. I

522
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: struggle with alcoholism as far.

523
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 3: Back as I can see.

524
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: There were alcoholics on the vertic side of the family tree.

525
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 1: But Son, you have the opportunity to do this different.

526
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 1: So what he's saying is, even though I'm made some mistakes,

527
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 1: you don't have to make the same mistakes that I'm made.

528
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: If you get the what then what? Then look at

529
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: your neighbor and ask them tonight, say what then what then?

530
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: That's what the children is or is there will have

531
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 1: to decide in the moment. I know you don't like

532
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: the chariots chasing you. I know it wasn't fair how

533
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: your story got started. But you can change the end.

534
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 1: You can change the end. What then, there you go, Jared,

535
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: change it, change it, changed it? What then needs to

536
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: come next in your life? Because there are no fresh starts,

537
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: but there are forward steps. What then? What then?

538
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 3: What then?

539
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 1: What then? And you know that's the only thing you

540
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: got to figure out in the season of your life

541
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: is where to put your foot next?

542
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 3: What then?

543
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: Not three years from now, three minutes from now, what then,

544
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: not three minutes from now, three seconds from now?

545
00:31:59,600 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 3: What then?

546
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: I see people getting tattoos all over this church that

547
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: just say what then?

548
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 3: See?

549
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: Because you are a story that is still unfolding. You

550
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 1: are a masterpiece in the making. There is something that

551
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: God is doing in your life that your eyes have

552
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: not seen and your ears have not heard, and it

553
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 1: has not entered into your heart, the things that God

554
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: has planned for them that loved him. What then shall

555
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: we say in response to these things?

556
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 3: Because one day.

557
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: Your story will be told. What then do you want

558
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 1: to be in the story when you tell it, because

559
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: it doesn't have to end like it is right now.

560
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: It doesn't have to end like it is right now.

561
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: It doesn't have to end like it is right It

562
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 1: doesn't have.

563
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 3: To end like it. It doesn't have to end like it.

564
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: You could change the end. We can't fix the beginning.

565
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: You don't have to. Jesus died for that.

566
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 3: Ah, Jesus died for that.

567
00:32:56,560 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: Everything you ever did, He took nails in his hand

568
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: so you would never have to pay for your sin. Yeah. Yeah,

569
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 1: But now we are in a moment in your life,

570
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: give me my camera where it's not what's in his hand,

571
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: it's what's in yours that's going to make the difference.

572
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: What then? What then? So you may be talking to

573
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: somebody about this thing you're going through, What then shall

574
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: we say in response to these things? Yeah, these things

575
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: going through. Some things right now don't look like cherious.

576
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 1: Sometimes it looks like a child custody battle. Sometimes it

577
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: looks like a child in your home that's struggling. Sometimes

578
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: it looks like in your own heart you don't even

579
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 1: want to be around anymore. What then, is the question

580
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: shall we say in response to these things? So maybe

581
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: we want to think about when you're telling the story

582
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: one day, what then shall you say in response to

583
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: these things the children of Israel say, is over? Moses says,

584
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: stands still. God says, give it to me again, Jared,

585
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: it's not the end. Then then, so when the story

586
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: was told, watch this Exius, chapter fourteen, verse twenty one.

587
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 1: The real hinge isn't what the Lord said, it's what

588
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 1: Moses did. Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea.

589
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: And all that night the Lord drove back to sea

590
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: with a strong east wind. Lord, I want a strong

591
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: east wind. Drive it back, Drive back to dead, drive

592
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: back to bankrupt seat, drive back the depression, drive it back.

593
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 1: And God said, what will you do while you're waiting

594
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 1: for me to drive it? Because God only drove it

595
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: when Moses did it.

596
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 3: What then? What then?

597
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: Oh, this is going so good, Thank you Lord for

598
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: this word. What then that's what you got to answer?

599
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 1: What then? Not? What them? It don't matter about them,

600
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 1: It matters about you.

601
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 3: What then?

602
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:03,919
Speaker 1: What then? What now?

603
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 3: What me?

604
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,720
Speaker 1: Change me? Holly made a whole Bible study called Missus

605
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: Better Half for married couples who are just married, and

606
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 1: the entire premise is when I change me, I change we?

607
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 1: What then? Now what them? You think she can fix me?

608
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 1: You think she can fix this? This is unfixable. But

609
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 1: she can love me, she can accept me, she can

610
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:33,320
Speaker 1: be my partner. See what then, that's what you're always

611
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: deciding in a relationship. Oh they cussed me out? What then?

612
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 1: How do you want the story to go? When the

613
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 1: boys were really little, we went to see this Christian

614
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 1: movie one day. And I'm telling you the Christian movie

615
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 1: because it makes a story even that much more embarrassing

616
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 1: for me. And I'm gonna put myself out there and

617
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 1: hopes that it might help you to find your own

618
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 1: story as well, because your story's not over. Your story

619
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 1: is not over. Your story is not over. There is

620
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 1: a next chapter for your life. There is a next

621
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 1: chapter for your life. But but the way it goes,

622
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 1: the story you tell else depends on the then that

623
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: you live right now. So that's what you'll understand. You're

624
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 1: living it in real time. You're not just reading about

625
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,320
Speaker 1: it at the red seat. You're living it in real time.

626
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 1: Like when I was pulling out of that movie. The

627
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 1: boys were real little too. I Reckon Graham was eight,

628
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 1: alleged was eleven. Well, I'll never forget that movie was

629
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 1: so boring. So I was already in a bad mood

630
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 1: because it was boring movie. Why do the Christian movies

631
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:28,800
Speaker 1: have to be boring so often? You know what I'm saying.

632
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,359
Speaker 1: So I'm like mad at us as the Kingdom people

633
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 1: of God that we can't make a better movie. I'm

634
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 1: backing out the parking space and the man hanked at

635
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:45,720
Speaker 1: me because I was backing out too slow, and he goes, hey, buddy,

636
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: we need your spot, you need my spot. Well, I

637
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:56,359
Speaker 1: rolled down my automatic window. That's what I did then,

638
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 1: so he yells. Then I rolled down my window. And

639
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 1: I don't roll down my window for he yelled. That's

640
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:02,879
Speaker 1: what I did in response as a consequence for his action,

641
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: to set a good example for my boys. And nobody

642
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,240
Speaker 1: gets to hunk at you in a pickup truck without

643
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 1: you rolling down the window of your Maxima and letting

644
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 1: them know. It's not the size of the Maxima, it's

645
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 1: the size of the crazy inside of me. And we

646
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 1: can get it on right outside. I don't even care

647
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 1: if it's the Valentine Church parking lot. And I just

648
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 1: preached The Christian movie didn't save me that good. I

649
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 1: said what. That's why I said, And I could have

650
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 1: said some other four letter words. You'll ought to be

651
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 1: glad it was what. There were some other four letter

652
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 1: options circulating at that point in time. I said what,

653
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 1: and then he said another four letter word back to me.

654
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: Now I'm out the car. Now. At this point, I know, Officer,

655
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: this is bad. You almost got called to the movie

656
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 1: theater this day, Officer, I said, I said, what are.

657
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 3: We gonna do?

658
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: Right? Because I really didn't know either. But We're going

659
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,320
Speaker 1: back and forth, and I'm like, it's trying to intimidate

660
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 1: h because I rely don't want to fight him, and

661
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,839
Speaker 1: I'm trying to intimidate him. And I'm not playing any

662
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:10,319
Speaker 1: of this out in my head too much. I'm just

663
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 1: doing it. And it's a red sea of sorts. Okay,

664
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: a little bit of a downgrade for the miracle. But

665
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 1: I'm back and forth with this guy, and all of

666
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: a sudden, I see Graham right beside me. He has

667
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 1: now gotten out of the car and joined his father

668
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 1: in this foolishness. In this volley.

669
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:28,320
Speaker 3: It's a generational curse.

670
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:30,879
Speaker 1: And Graham's standing there staring at the car, and when

671
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 1: the guy saw Graham, he kind of sobered up. He's like, hey, man,

672
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: you know what, let's just you know, let's just go

673
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 1: our separate ways. I was like, all right, all right

674
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 1: then that's what I thought. Then got back in the car.

675
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 1: I said, Graham, what were you going to do? Why'd

676
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 1: you come out in the car? He said, I was

677
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 1: going to see what happened. I said, well, what if

678
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 1: he wanted to fight, then, what would you do? He

679
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 1: said I was going to kick him, and he specified

680
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 1: where and it wasn't the shin bone. And he was, hey,

681
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 1: y'all pray for him. He said I would kick him

682
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,479
Speaker 1: and I said huh. And Elijah was listening, and he goes,

683
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,839
Speaker 1: the better question is Dad, what were you going to do?

684
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 1: The voice of reason right, I'm like, I don't know, son.

685
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:30,360
Speaker 1: The Bible talks about prayer and delaying on of hands,

686
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 1: and they are both Biblical. I'm misinterpreting the text. See

687
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:39,720
Speaker 1: I do it too. Okay, Well, he asked the question

688
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: where were you going to do? Then? He said, did

689
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: you even think about that? If you got in a fight,

690
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:44,839
Speaker 1: we were going to be in the news. The church

691
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 1: was going to be in the news because you got

692
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,399
Speaker 1: in a fight, And then did you ever think about

693
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 1: that you might go to jail? And then did you

694
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 1: ever think about that we might grow up without a dad?

695
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 3: See?

696
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 1: Because he's thinking, then watch this. All I'm thinking is this.

697
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:02,840
Speaker 1: And it took an eleven year old for me to

698
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 1: be like, let's go get some Mexican food boys and

699
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 1: forget that ever happened. Don't tell your mama about UK.

700
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 1: So just don't mention this. And now I'm telling you

701
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,840
Speaker 1: as an example. You see, it's not always going to

702
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 1: be some huge red sea moment that you're responding to.

703
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 1: It's going to be not a red sea but a

704
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:31,360
Speaker 1: parking lot, traffic jam, a build that comes across something

705
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 1: the doctor saw on your lungs that they weren't planning

706
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 1: to see. What then? What then? The knowledge that your

707
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 1: marriage is not really doing so good, and now that

708
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 1: the kids are on their way out the house, maybe

709
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 1: you don't really have much to build on. What then?

710
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:48,880
Speaker 1: And the way I like the picture it for myself

711
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 1: is like this. It's like if we're telling our story

712
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 1: one day and we're like, you know what, I went

713
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 1: through a horrible time twenty twenty six or wherever you're

714
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:01,240
Speaker 1: watching this in the future, and I'm gonna be honest

715
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 1: with you. I got really disappointed in some people, and

716
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 1: I let it faster. Then I stopped going to church.

717
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 1: And then after not being in church for a little while,

718
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 1: I like filled the vacuum with other wrong people in

719
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:17,360
Speaker 1: my life. And then and then and then it was drinking.

720
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 1: But I always I always thought that I could you know,

721
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:21,840
Speaker 1: I can handle it, or or or then I just

722
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 1: you know, I started spending so much money as when

723
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 1: they try to fill the vacuum. Then I then I

724
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 1: thought so far from God. Then then then like put

725
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 1: it back up. How do you want this to end?

726
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 1: Because you can change the end. You could say that

727
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: was the hardest time in my life. I got really

728
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 1: hurt by some people. Then you get to pick the

729
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 1: then that you live. Next, I was going to church.

730
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 1: I got hurt by some people. But it it's amazing

731
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: because they got like five million campuses. So if you

732
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 1: want to leave the church, you can leave the church

733
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 1: without leaving the church. You just go to another campus

734
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:11,800
Speaker 1: and meet some other people. When another campus, then I

735
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: joined the Greater Team. Did you want to see the

736
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 1: testimony today? The lady said, I felt like called to

737
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,759
Speaker 1: volunteer then my husband volunteered. Then one of my kids

738
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 1: got baptized, then another one got baptized, then another one,

739
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 1: then another one, then another one, So which then which?

740
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:31,799
Speaker 1: Then the Bible says, Then, Moses, you can change the end.

741
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 1: I can't change the fact that Pharaoh's chasing me, but

742
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,399
Speaker 1: I can stretch what I have, and I can take

743
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 1: a forward step. Which then will you tell when you

744
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 1: tell the story one day? Which then will it? They

745
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:46,759
Speaker 1: walked out in my life and then so I just

746
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 1: shut my heart off, and then I never loved again.

747
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,839
Speaker 1: Then I never trusted anyone again, and then I just

748
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 1: gave up. What story did I want to tell you today?

749
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:58,399
Speaker 1: The church was going good, and then they started criticizing us,

750
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 1: and it was twenty thirteen and and week after week

751
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 1: they kept talking bad about us, and then I decided,

752
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 1: you know what, forget y'all. If y'all don't appreciate my annoying,

753
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:08,359
Speaker 1: I'm out of here. And I walked away from the church.

754
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: And that's why I don't even appreciate anymore, because I

755
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 1: can't stand Christians, or do you want to say? And

756
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 1: then they told the story of how we faked our baptisms,

757
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 1: And then I stood up in front of the church

758
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 1: one Sunday morning in twenty thirteen and said, tonight we're

759
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 1: going to have a special baptism service. And then we

760
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 1: baptized four hundred people that night, and then we baptized

761
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 1: a thousand people again the next year, and then and then,

762
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 1: and then, and then. It could have been the end.

763
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 1: Put it on the board, the end, d end, the end.

764
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 1: It could have been the end. But then, but then

765
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,280
Speaker 1: it could have been the end. They could have died

766
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 1: right there. You could die in your disappointment.

767
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 3: Change it.

768
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:51,319
Speaker 1: Then you can change the end with then something as

769
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 1: simple as a then. And if you don't believe me

770
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 1: from the life of Moses, perhaps we should call on David.

771
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:02,239
Speaker 1: David who was the man after God's own heart, but

772
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:04,800
Speaker 1: in the middle of his life he started to become

773
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 1: a little bit distracted by things that he saw and

774
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 1: weary from battles that he had endured. One day, he's

775
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,840
Speaker 1: walking around his roof and sees a woman who's bathing

776
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:15,960
Speaker 1: on her roof. He takes her, which he has the

777
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:18,720
Speaker 1: right to do as a king legally, but it's wrong

778
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 1: to God. In the process of covering up that sin,

779
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 1: he sins again, has her husband murdered. And the prophet

780
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:27,760
Speaker 1: comes to David and says, what you did is wrong.

781
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 1: God doesn't like what you did. God is displeased with

782
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 1: what you did. God does not see this as your

783
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 1: true potential. And so the baby is going to die.

784
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 1: David starts fasting, David starts praying, and it looks like

785
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 1: the end, and it is. The baby does not live.

786
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 1: And at this moment David has a decision. It is

787
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 1: a hinge decision. The baby did not live. The consequence

788
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 1: has happened. His prayer was not answered. And perhaps that's

789
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 1: where you are in your life today and why God

790
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 1: led me to preach you can change the end, because

791
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:03,360
Speaker 1: in second Samuel twelve, verse twenty, the Bible says something

792
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 1: very powerful. Then David got up, and I see you

793
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 1: getting up today because I see you making a decision

794
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:19,320
Speaker 1: that I will not let this event define the rest

795
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:20,320
Speaker 1: of my life.

796
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:22,240
Speaker 3: I did it. It was wrong.

797
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 1: I repented, I wept, I'm sorry. Created me a clean heart,

798
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 1: Oh God. Then David got up, circle the word then please,

799
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 1: so I can drive this home. David got up from

800
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:39,000
Speaker 1: the ground, washed, put on lotions, changed his clothes, went

801
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 1: to the house of the Lord and worshiped. When he worshiped,

802
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 1: then he had the strength to go to his house,

803
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 1: and at his request, they served him food and he ate.

804
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 1: Verse twenty four is even better because after he got

805
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:54,440
Speaker 1: up and washed and went to the house and worshiped

806
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 1: and ate, the Bible says again, Then David comforted his wife, Bethsheba,

807
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,399
Speaker 1: and he went to her and made love to her,

808
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:04,879
Speaker 1: and she gave birth to a son, and they named

809
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:07,839
Speaker 1: him Solomon. And the Lord loved him, and that king

810
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 1: went on to be the greatest, most wise king that

811
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 1: Israel had known from David's worst decision. Then he got up.

812
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 1: Then he went in, and I came to let you

813
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:22,319
Speaker 1: know today you don't have to stay stuck in your

814
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:25,479
Speaker 1: regret another day if you don't want to. My hope

815
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: is built on nothing less then Jesus' blood and righteousness.

816
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 1: Then David got up, Make God contact with your neighbors,

817
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:41,399
Speaker 1: say get up, get up, repent and get up, Wash

818
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 1: your face and get up, change your shirt and get up.

819
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:50,799
Speaker 1: Say you're sorry and move forward. Then or perhaps sa,

820
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:56,759
Speaker 1: if you don't believe David, you'll believe Samson. Maybe if

821
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:59,840
Speaker 1: you don't believe me and you don't believe Moses, and

822
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 1: you don't believe David, and you feel like this is

823
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 1: the end for me. Maybe you believe Samson, who got

824
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:09,439
Speaker 1: the most expensive haircut in the history of humanity, talk

825
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:14,160
Speaker 1: about a hinge decision, a haircut turned into his eyes

826
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 1: being gouged out and the loss of his strength because

827
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 1: of the breaking of his vow. And Samson, with his

828
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 1: eyes gouged out, is standing in the column as they

829
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:27,360
Speaker 1: worship Dagon, the false God, and they're mocking him. And

830
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 1: perhaps you feel like that right now, Like, man, I

831
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:33,240
Speaker 1: just feel so embarrassed. I feel so humiliated. And Samson

832
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 1: at his lowest moment, you listening.

833
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:36,880
Speaker 3: To me, I'm telling you can change.

834
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 1: The end, the Bible says in Judge sixteen twenty eight.

835
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:45,240
Speaker 1: Then Samson prayed to the Lord, pray about it, baby,

836
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 1: It's not over. He prayed to the Lord, Sovereign, Lord,

837
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:52,920
Speaker 1: remember me, Please, God strengthen me just once more and

838
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:56,480
Speaker 1: let me, with one blow, get revenge on the Philistines

839
00:47:56,520 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 1: for my two eyes. And then Samson and reached, you

840
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:06,440
Speaker 1: missed it justin. Then Samson reached, I'm telling you that

841
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:08,839
Speaker 1: you get to pick your next. Then you get to

842
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 1: pick your next. Then You don't get to control the result,

843
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 1: but you control your response. You get to pick your next.

844
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 1: Then the result belongs to God, the response belongs to you.

845
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:26,239
Speaker 1: And Samson mock can't see blind, humiliated, defeated, disgraced, embarrassed.

846
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:29,960
Speaker 1: Then Samson reached toward the two central pillars on which

847
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:33,320
Speaker 1: the temple stood, bracing himself against them, his right hand

848
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 1: on the one, put it on the screen the end,

849
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 1: and his left hand on the other.

850
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:38,279
Speaker 3: The Bible says, change it.

851
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:40,839
Speaker 1: Watch this, Sampson said, let me die with the Philistines.

852
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:44,399
Speaker 1: Then he pushed with all his might, and down came

853
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:47,600
Speaker 1: the temple of the false God, and down came the

854
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 1: verdict over his life that it was over, and down

855
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:53,839
Speaker 1: came the temple. And thus he killed more when he

856
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 1: died than when he lived. It's not too late for you. Then,

857
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 1: then then what then shall you say? Then I gave up,

858
00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:11,920
Speaker 1: or then I stepped up, then I stayed down, or

859
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:15,480
Speaker 1: then I got up. And maybe if you don't believe me,

860
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:19,839
Speaker 1: or Moses or David or Samson, maybe you believe Peter.

861
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 1: Peter denied he even knew the Lord. He sat down

862
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:25,759
Speaker 1: by the fire and acted like he wasn't even a

863
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:29,960
Speaker 1: follower of his best friend. You can feel like you

864
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:32,719
Speaker 1: disappointed God, sometimes so bad that you'll never get up.

865
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 1: But I thank God for the Day of pentecov I said,

866
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 1: I thank God for Acts Chapter two, I thank God

867
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 1: for Romans eight thirty one. What then, because Acts two

868
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 1: fourteen says, then Peter stood up. Everybody, stand up on

869
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:52,400
Speaker 1: your feet right now. This is your part in the message.

870
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 1: Hit your neighbors, say stand up. God's not done with you.

871
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:57,040
Speaker 3: Get up.

872
00:49:57,080 --> 00:49:57,839
Speaker 1: It's not over.

873
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 3: Get up, it's not gone, it's not lost. And Peter

874
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 3: preached so good.

875
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:07,680
Speaker 1: That three thousand people got saved because he stood out.

876
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 1: Maybe if you don't believe Peter, you'll believe the thief

877
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 1: who was hanging on a cross. He didn't do anything

878
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 1: right to deserve to be saved. His friend was mocking Jesus.

879
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:31,719
Speaker 1: But he had a little bit of faith, just a

880
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:34,360
Speaker 1: little bit of faith, not enough to get his act together.

881
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 1: He didn't even have long left.

882
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:38,759
Speaker 3: For all of you who think that there's not enough time,

883
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 3: you can change the end. Because the Bible.

884
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:46,600
Speaker 1: Says that while one hurled insults and one said save us, if.

885
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 3: You're really who you say you are.

886
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 1: There was one thief on the cross, and there was

887
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:55,480
Speaker 1: one then that he spoke, and this is the message.

888
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:59,760
Speaker 3: Then he said, Jesus, when.

889
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:03,080
Speaker 1: You say Jesus, I don't care what you've been through.

890
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 3: When you say Jesus, when.

891
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:08,840
Speaker 1: You call on the name, come on, somebody, come.

892
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:09,440
Speaker 3: Be preached us.

893
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:14,200
Speaker 1: When you say Jesus, Demons flee. When you say Jesus,

894
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:25,920
Speaker 1: waters dart. When you say Jesus, he said, Jesus, remember

895
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 1: me when you come in your kingdom. Jesus looked back

896
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:31,960
Speaker 1: and said, because you said, then, I say to you truly,

897
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:36,000
Speaker 1: I tell you today you will be with me in Paradise.

898
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:38,960
Speaker 1: And the Egyptians you see today you will see no

899
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:44,080
Speaker 1: more because of this. Then, now the word of the

900
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 1: Lord has come with power and velocity and great personal

901
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:51,920
Speaker 1: application to you today. What will you do with this word?

902
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 1: You are responsible for him that in real time the

903
00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 1: familiar sounds of Pharaoh behind me. That's the old life,

904
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:05,040
Speaker 1: the unfamiliar terrain of the life of faith that awakes you.

905
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:14,000
Speaker 1: This is a hinge moment. What then shall you say?

906
00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 1: You know, I spent years away from God. Then one

907
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:22,640
Speaker 1: day I went to church and the preacher was preaching,

908
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:25,880
Speaker 1: and it got to this moment and I realized I

909
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:32,920
Speaker 1: need God. I need God and I and I lifted

910
00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:37,319
Speaker 1: my hands to him, and I began to worship him,

911
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:39,279
Speaker 1: and I began to praise him, and I said, God,

912
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:42,400
Speaker 1: I'm sorry for what I did. I repented my sins,

913
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:45,399
Speaker 1: but God, can you raise me up? And because of that,

914
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:51,359
Speaker 1: then it changed the end. And that's why I'm here today.

915
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:55,919
Speaker 1: That's why I'm lifting both of my hands. Play God.

916
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:56,800
Speaker 3: I'm just grateful.

917
00:52:57,120 --> 00:52:59,240
Speaker 1: That's why I'm lifting both of my hands.

918
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:09,640
Speaker 3: He gave me tad after tad after test. Come on,

919
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:13,400
Speaker 3: this is not the This is not the.

920
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 1: Get up like David and warsa right, Jorge s up.

921
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 3: Like stuffing a post.

Speaker 1: Like Peter stand up and great like the Big Bumble Cross.

923
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:33,279
Speaker 3: Thank Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.
