Heaven Is The Vision - Heaven Part 4
Why God Isn’t Done—and Neither Are We
Heaven is not an escape from earth—it’s God’s plan to redeem it. In this message, we discover that God isn’t abandoning the world but restoring all things: people, cities, nations, and creation itself. From Scripture to everyday life, this teaching reframes heaven as the fulfillment of God’s original design and reminds us that if God isn’t done redeeming the world, neither are we.
1
00:00:30,320 --> 00:01:07,480
Yeah.
Well, welcome to real life
2
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,440
church.
It's a snow day.
3
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,640
Can you guys believe this?
Unreal.
4
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,840
I would encourage you guys to
hang in here today because
5
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,600
you're going to learn so much
about heaven.
6
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,320
I mean, your mind is going to be
blown the truth of what heavens
7
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:21,680
really like.
You know, sometimes you look at
8
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,840
the world and we think it's too
far beyond, it's too broken for
9
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,160
redemption.
And today you're going to see
10
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,960
that God is not only restoring
us, it's actually redeem
11
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,120
everything.
I'm telling you, it's just going
12
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,240
to blow your mind.
Before we jump in, I'll
13
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,480
celebrate some wins.
It's amazing.
14
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,400
Every time we talk about heaven,
people come to Jesus.
15
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,440
We've talked about not only made
for a person, you're also made
16
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,440
for a place.
And the person is Jesus and the
17
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,800
place is heaven.
And I'm so excited to share with
18
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,600
you more about heaven.
Last week, check this out, we
19
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:58,480
had six people start a
relationship with Jesus, all
20
00:01:58,480 --> 00:01:59,640
because we're talking about
heaven.
21
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:02,120
And the point is this, you can't
have heaven without Jesus, and
22
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,160
you have Jesus without heaven.
They come together.
23
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:05,920
And so we're talking about
heaven again today.
24
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,199
And I believe God's going to see
more people come to Christ.
25
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,520
I would encourage you guys who
are watching, man, it's it means
26
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,840
the world to us when you share,
like, comment, follow.
27
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,360
Holy smokes, we've done the 10
days of heavenly vision.
28
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,200
And I can't tell you how
exciting it's been, how powerful
29
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:26,240
it's been to see people share
and comment in the world,
30
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,080
responding to these little bits
of gold, these little pieces,
31
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,760
these Nuggets of scripture, just
encouraging people about
32
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,640
thinking differently about
heaven and how it changed their
33
00:02:35,640 --> 00:02:37,520
life.
So today, just by hitting that
34
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,880
share button, hitting that like
button, it may change somebody's
35
00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:42,640
eternity.
And today's going to be no
36
00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:44,280
different.
It's going to be very, very,
37
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,080
very powerful.
I'll say thank you guys for
38
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,160
joining us, jump in, encourage
each other.
39
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,880
You're all at home in your PJS
drinking your coffee.
40
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,800
Hopefully it's not too crazy of
a Snowmageddon.
41
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,760
But I want to encourage you
guys.
42
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,000
Look at the look at the chat,
look who's on there.
43
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,040
Reach out, care for somebody,
let them know you love in the
44
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,560
day.
And I'm excited if you're new,
45
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,840
it's the first time you're
enjoying us a real life church.
46
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,600
I'm excited to see what God's
going to do through your life.
47
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,200
So my prayer is this whole
series is that you would see
48
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,440
heaven so much differently.
You'd be moved by heaven that
49
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,280
actually changed the way you
live on earth.
50
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,920
And I believe God has been
answering this prayer every
51
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:25,800
single week.
I know he's going to do it again
52
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,040
today.
Today is a big reminder.
53
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,760
We look out, we we see the world
in absolute chaos at times.
54
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,200
We see what's happening in
Minnesota, we see the
55
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,000
protesting, we see Venezuela.
We got Greenland, we got
56
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,000
Ukraine.
We got all sorts of things
57
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,200
happen in the world.
And you may just look out and
58
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:47,720
wonder, is God still in control?
Is the world too far gone for
59
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,840
God to fix you?
You may look out and wonder, can
60
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:56,200
God still move in these areas?
Is there is there something past
61
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,120
redemption or is there someone
past redemption?
62
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,840
And it's easy to say, man, this
whole world is going to hell in
63
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,200
a handbasket.
And I would encourage you today,
64
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,080
you're going to see something
drastically different, that the
65
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,160
world itself is going to be
redeemed by God and it's
66
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,840
actually going to heaven and not
to hell.
67
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,760
Not to say that hell didn't
exist, but the reality is God's
68
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,079
do something very different on
this earth.
69
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:21,680
The redemption goes far beyond
just us.
70
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,280
So God has not done yet.
And the point today is neither
71
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,640
are we.
So don't you check this out.
72
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:28,960
I'm going to expand your vision
to heaven.
73
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,960
Just think about this.
You may not know this in the New
74
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,720
Testament, it's out.
This is actually not the first
75
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,040
time it mentions the new heaven
and the new earth.
76
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,320
It's actually mentioned way
before Revelation 21.
77
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,720
It's actually mentioned four
times in the Bible all the way
78
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,320
back in the Old Testament with
Isaiah.
79
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,160
So I want you to check this
verse out, Isaiah 6517.
80
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:54,040
It says this, behold, I'll
create new heavens and a new
81
00:04:54,280 --> 00:04:56,160
earth.
How do you guys right now, your
82
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,640
mind is absolutely blown.
You've grown up in church, you
83
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,400
you've heard some of these
stories and you had no idea that
84
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,360
the new heaven and the new earth
actually exist all the way back
85
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,480
in the Old Testament.
You just thought this was like
86
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,080
the end times, like the game
plan was revealed at the end.
87
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:16,080
But you see here in Isaiah 65,
Isaiah 66 says this verse 22 as
88
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,960
a new heavens and a new earth
that I make will endure before
89
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,600
me.
It will last before me declares
90
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,880
the Lord.
So will your name and
91
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,760
descendants endure that they
will last forever.
92
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,160
So it's mentioned twice in the
Old Testament, second Peter 313,
93
00:05:30,840 --> 00:05:33,920
third time in keeping with his
promises, talking about God.
94
00:05:34,280 --> 00:05:40,120
We are looking forward, we're
longing for to a new heaven and
95
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,920
a new earth, a home of
righteousness.
96
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,880
This is amazing.
Like I, the Peter is looking
97
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,840
back at Isaiah and his home and
his heart is looking forward to
98
00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:53,480
the new heaven and the new
earth.
99
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,400
And of course, Revelation 21
one, this is the most popular
100
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,640
and most of us probably only
thought of this verse.
101
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:03,320
It says this and I saw this John
talking a new heaven, a new
102
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:08,560
earth for the 1st heaven and the
first earth had passed away.
103
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,440
Now, if you're like me, I think
of this verse, I'm thinking man.
104
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,360
So the old heaven and the old
earth, they're destroyed like
105
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,920
they've passed away.
But if you really look at this
106
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,600
verse and you look at the Holy
Scripture, you're going to find
107
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,240
out that doesn't mean it's
destroyed.
108
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:28,640
Think about this.
When we pass away as humans, are
109
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,000
we destroyed?
Like we we talk about
110
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,920
resurrected souls and
resurrected bodies?
111
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,680
Do we cease to exist and God
just recreates us from the
112
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,600
scratch or he resurrects us?
So just because you pass away
113
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,200
doesn't mean you're actually
destroyed.
114
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,080
Think about this, Noah, the time
the flood, God destroyed the
115
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,000
earth in the flood, but did the
earth actually be destroyed?
116
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,880
It's all gone or he just change
it in a drastic way.
117
00:06:52,280 --> 00:06:56,320
And so I would encourage you
that God is not destroying the
118
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,520
old earth and creating a brand
new and he's actually
119
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:02,960
resurrecting the old earth.
Remember when he created the
120
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,480
heavens and the earth and he
looked at and said things were
121
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,000
good and they're very good?
He is never ceased.
122
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,840
He's never renounced his claim
on his creation.
123
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,680
He's actually never abandoned
his earth and he's going to
124
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,680
restore it.
Think about this.
125
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,120
This is very interesting.
This is a prophetess, Anna in
126
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,240
the New Testament.
Jesus had been born in Mary and
127
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,120
Joseph and baby Jesus, they
traveled to the temple.
128
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,680
And Anna's in her 80s and she's
one of the last prophets, the
129
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,080
Old Testament.
And look, look at her life.
130
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,360
It says she's never left the
temple, but she's worshipped
131
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,680
night and day.
You think about being devout,
132
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,480
somebody who knows scripture,
they've never left the temple,
133
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,040
the presence of God, and they're
worshipping day and night.
134
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,320
Not only that, they're she's
fasting and she's praying, she's
135
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,520
seeking God's presence, she's
living in the Holy Spirit.
136
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,200
She knows exactly the plan of
God and this is what she says
137
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,240
coming up to them being Joseph
and Mary with baby Jesus.
138
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,440
At that very moment, she gave
thanks to God and spoke about
139
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,960
the child, about Jesus.
To all who are looking forward
140
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:06,280
to look at this, what does it
say?
141
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:13,240
The redemption of Jerusalem?
It doesn't say the redemption of
142
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,440
humanity or the redemption of a
person.
143
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,480
It's actually the redemption of
a city.
144
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:23,320
So Jesus is not just saving
souls according to this verse.
145
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:27,400
He's actually saving cities.
He saved civilization.
146
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,240
For the longest time, most of us
have thought that the plan of
147
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,880
salvation only extends to
humanity.
148
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,400
And I would encourage you that
God's redemptive plan is not so
149
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,200
modest.
It actually extends to
150
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,680
everything.
It's restoring every bit of His
151
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:49,120
creation and more.
Ephesians 110 says this and it
152
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,840
says God's perfect plan.
He says to bring all things, not
153
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,680
just some things or little
pieces, but every single thing.
154
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:01,840
Look at this in heaven and on
earth together under one head,
155
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:06,000
Christ, everything is being
redeemed, not just people.
156
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,520
And the reality is this, if
we're not careful, we can look
157
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,760
at the world and we can kind of
give up on it.
158
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,680
We can kind of look out and, and
say, man, this is way too far
159
00:09:13,680 --> 00:09:16,000
gone.
Like man, thank God, I'm leaving
160
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,280
earth and going to heaven and
I'm exiting this old rickety
161
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,000
world.
And these things are beyond
162
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,040
redemption.
So the nations and the cities
163
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,600
and corruption and, and, and
leadership and politicians and,
164
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,160
and different levels of
authority, all this is just
165
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,360
going to disappear one day.
And life can be good.
166
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,400
And that cannot be farther from
the truth because God is
167
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,400
actually going to use those
things and redeem all those
168
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,960
things.
He's never given up on any
169
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:44,280
square inch or any split second
of anything he has created.
170
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,040
Let me encourage you with this.
God will surrender no territory
171
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,320
to the enemy.
Can I get an Amen?
172
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:53,680
He's going to surrender 0
territory.
173
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,320
There's only one flag that's
going to fly over anything he's
174
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,800
ever created and it's the banner
of Jesus.
175
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,400
And I get really excited when I
think about this scripture and I
176
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,640
think about this truth, man, my
heart starts pumping.
177
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,480
Then I get just, it's just just
boisterous man.
178
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,600
Just heart throbbing with
excitement because everything
179
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,800
that we feel is wrong and
injust, corrupt and broken and
180
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,440
the wars and the, and the, and
the hatred and the bitterness
181
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,920
and the, all these things.
And we can kind of go, oh man,
182
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,320
where's God?
I'm encouraging him that God is
183
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:28,040
not a scientist that failed with
an experiment that got thwarted
184
00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:31,320
and he had to make a bad thing
or a good thing out of bad.
185
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,520
He's actually going to redeem
every single piece.
186
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,400
Like he's just getting started.
Like he is not done yet.
187
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,120
And so we're not done yet.
Now think about Isaiah 60 and
188
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,720
you think about what heaven's
going to look like.
189
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,440
And I want you to see the stuff
that God redeems.
190
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:50,920
I want to read part of Isaiah
60.
191
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,520
And this is actually a vision of
the New Jerusalem that's going
192
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,720
to be in the new heavens.
This is what it says, and I'll
193
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,640
start in verse 5.
It says then you will look and
194
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,840
be radiant.
Your heart will throb and swell
195
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,400
with joy.
That sounds good.
196
00:11:05,680 --> 00:11:08,200
This is the New Jerusalem in new
heaven says the wealth of the
197
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:12,120
Seas will be brought to you to
the you the riches of the
198
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,960
nations will come.
So there's nations in this new
199
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,200
Jerusalem in heaven, herds of
camels.
200
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,640
How many guys do camels in
heaven, right will cover your
201
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,800
land.
Young camels from Midian and
202
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:26,200
Etha and all from Sheba will
come bearing look at this gold
203
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,480
and incense in proclaiming the
praise the Lord.
204
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,040
All kidder flocks will be
gathered to you.
205
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:36,560
The Rams.
So now you got Rams of Nepaloth
206
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,200
will serve you.
They'll be accepted as offerings
207
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,280
on my altar.
I will adorn my glorious temple.
208
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,840
Talk about the temple in heaven.
Who are these that fly along
209
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,280
like clouds, like doves to their
nest?
210
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,720
So there's birds.
It's just surely the islands.
211
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,320
Come on, there's islands in
heaven.
212
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:58,600
Look to me and the lead are the
ships of Tarsus.
213
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,480
So not only there's islands,
actually ships coming from these
214
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,200
islands.
Bring your children from afar.
215
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:10,240
Look at this with silver and
gold to do what honor to the
216
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,800
honor of the Lord your God, the
whole in Israel who has endowed
217
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,560
you with splendor.
You think about this, you had
218
00:12:18,560 --> 00:12:20,640
no, you're thinking like, OK, I
thought we were going to be
219
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,600
floating around the clouds and
we're going to Angel wings.
220
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,040
All stuff.
Heaven is coming to the new
221
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:31,280
earth and it's going to be the
same place as this old earth.
222
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,840
And the things that are corrupt
right now in this world, all the
223
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:40,520
money, all the politics, all the
brokenness is going to be used
224
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:46,360
in the new earth to God's glory.
Not only does he restore his
225
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,360
creation, the work of his hands,
the the world itself, the Bible
226
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:53,520
says that the earth itself
groans with pains for
227
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,000
redemption.
So it's not just us that are
228
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,760
being redeemed.
It's every part of creation
229
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,320
that's being redeemed.
But further yet it's pretty
230
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,680
amazing.
Not only the gold's redeemed,
231
00:13:03,680 --> 00:13:05,800
right?
You saw that it's used for God's
232
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,840
glory, but what else redeemed?
There's ships sailing on the sea
233
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,000
from these awesome islands.
They're going with their
234
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,800
children and with their gold and
silver to honor the Lord.
235
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:21,120
So not only is the the creator
has redeemed his creation, he's
236
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,880
actually redeeming the works of
his creation.
237
00:13:25,560 --> 00:13:29,960
He's redeeming the ships that we
built in the systems of our
238
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,200
civilizations.
And in the heaven you're going
239
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:36,800
to find culture and art and
nations and kings and gold and
240
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,240
treasure and islands and
animals.
241
00:13:39,680 --> 00:13:41,000
Like this is a far different
heaven.
242
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,440
This is way more exciting and
God's way bigger than maybe we
243
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,520
ever thought.
For some of us, our minds have
244
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,680
thought, man God's a pretty
modest God, like he's done all
245
00:13:49,680 --> 00:13:52,120
he can and we're kind of going
to give up and we're here to
246
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,480
reach people.
But the reality is God's
247
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,680
redemption extends far beyond
most of us ever thought or even
248
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,400
imagine.
Think about this, the words for
249
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,120
the new heaven that you see in
the Bible and the new earth.
250
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:10,360
You see the words redeem,
restore, recover, return, renew,
251
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,240
regenerate and resurrect.
And so the Earth is actually the
252
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:19,320
return to its original condition
before it was lost, before it
253
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,120
was broken.
So think about this.
254
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,840
This is pretty cool.
Adam and Eve, they're in
255
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,760
paradise, and they'll be the
only two people that will
256
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,320
actually experience all three
Earths.
257
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,440
They'll be in paradise.
They're in Paradise Lost, and
258
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:38,280
they're in paradise resurrected.
How crazy to think about.
259
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:42,200
It's all the same planet.
Like we're literally on the same
260
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:46,440
globe and God is going to
resurrect all of the brokenness
261
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,360
and change it and to be
transformed into something for
262
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,640
his glory the way it should be.
So this is amazing.
263
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,000
So if you're homesick for
heaven, you have loved ones
264
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,640
there, you're dream about it.
You may I can't wait man, till
265
00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,960
God brings me home.
I can't wait to be a part of the
266
00:14:59,960 --> 00:15:01,440
glory of God and see what's
happening.
267
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,840
And you're homesick.
This is pretty crazy thing about
268
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,480
you're actually homesick while
you're still home.
269
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,760
You're homesick now to the place
you're going to be in the
270
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,360
future.
It is amazing to think through.
271
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,960
And so God is not a scientist
with a failed experience.
272
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:22,640
He's a Redeemer finishing his
masterpiece and he wants to
273
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,480
finish it with us.
It's pretty cool.
274
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,800
Colossians 119 This is for God
was pleased to have all his
275
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,840
fullness dwell on him, which is
Jesus and through him to
276
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:37,600
reconcile to himself all things,
every single thing on the earth,
277
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,680
whether things on earth or
things in heaven by making peace
278
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:46,200
through his blood shed on the
cross, Jesus is going to bring
279
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,440
redemption and his perfect
timing to every single thing.
280
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:54,600
So big picture, heaven is not
Plan B for some of us and most
281
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,320
of us, we think man, we could
escape this this earth and then
282
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,360
we get to move into the the
perfection of heaven when the
283
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:05,600
reality is heaven is actually
God finishing his plan A where
284
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,800
he redeems all thanks for his
glory.
285
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,720
And so we don't give up like we
see corruption, we see
286
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,080
brokenness, we see, see, see
just injustice, we see, we see
287
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,360
trauma, we see brokenness and we
think, oh, where's God?
288
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:22,160
God is going to redeem it and he
wants to use us as part of the
289
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:23,840
process.
Think about this.
290
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:29,280
God will not and has not ever
will give up the title deed to
291
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,960
earth.
He's not surrendering earth to
292
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,440
the enemy.
He's not giving up on it.
293
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,240
May have so much joy in our
bones to think about.
294
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,160
He's not going to destroy this
place.
295
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:40,480
He's going to redeem it for His
glory.
296
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:44,120
He is a big God and he will
destroy all the competitors.
297
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,840
Anybody wants to take dominion.
Any powers of evil he'll destroy
298
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,520
and take away because of his
authority, His might, and his
299
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,520
power for his glory.
And for some of us, we thought
300
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,720
man, God's real modest, right?
Like his redemptive work is.
301
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,040
It's just he's just barely
getting by and it just extends
302
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,320
to humanity.
But it's far larger, larger than
303
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,040
that.
When Christ down the cross, he
304
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,839
bought and paid for not just us,
but he paid for the entire earth
305
00:17:08,839 --> 00:17:10,480
as well.
You see this in the Psalms of
306
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,640
the earth.
We filled with God's glory.
307
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,920
So here's the point.
If God is not done yet, and by
308
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,599
the way, He's right on time, He
knows exactly what he's doing.
309
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,920
Here's the point, we are not
done either.
310
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,680
Like we are a part of God's plan
of redemption.
311
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,560
We get to join him by God's
grace and God's mercy.
312
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,320
We get to join God in his plan
to bring redemption to not just
313
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,120
to humanity, but the world
itself.
314
00:17:36,360 --> 00:17:38,840
Right now.
They actually find this of all
315
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,200
places in the Great Commission.
If you don't know, it's in
316
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,680
Matthew 28 and then we're start
in verse 18.
317
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,040
It says, then Jesus came and
said to them being his
318
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,720
disciples, He said all
authority.
319
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:53,640
Now where's the authority coming
from?
320
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:59,240
Look at this, in heaven and on
earth has been given to me.
321
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:06,520
My Father has given me every bit
of authority and dominion.
322
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:11,600
And Jesus is not going to lose 1
square inch or one split second
323
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,040
of his dominion.
It's given to Jesus all of
324
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,960
heaven, all of earth, and he
sells to those disciples.
325
00:18:18,120 --> 00:18:20,000
Therefore, go, go.
Why?
326
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:21,640
Go?
Because I have all authority.
327
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,080
Go because I'm going to redeem
all things.
328
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,480
Go because I want you to play a
part of the story.
329
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,600
I know how the story works out.
I want you to play a part of the
330
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:33,720
story and go and make disciples
of all nations, nations that
331
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,240
he'll one day redeem.
Now, whether in the new heaven
332
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,480
and the earth we have the same
nations, we don't really know.
333
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,240
But we do know we will have
nations and we need to play a
334
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:47,320
part of the redemption of those
nations right now.
335
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:51,000
How incredible to play a part of
that story, man, it'd be amazing
336
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,600
to get to heaven and God say,
well done, my good and faithful
337
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,440
service.
Thank you for playing a part of
338
00:18:55,440 --> 00:19:00,280
redemption on earth and not
building a sandcastle with those
339
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,600
years I gave you, but leveraging
it for the redemption of
340
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,200
humanity in the world and
speaking out for truth and
341
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,480
justice and the things that
matter at the heart of God.
342
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,320
So he makes disciples, all
nations baptized in the name of
343
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,160
the Father and of the Son and
the Holy Spirit, teaching them
344
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,440
to obey everything.
I've command you and look at the
345
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:19,840
end.
So we're going to teach,
346
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,880
baptize, and then we're going to
go make disciples.
347
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,480
How like what's our motivation?
Why should we do this?
348
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:31,080
Because it's a surely I am with
you always to the very end of
349
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,200
the age.
We go through the power of Jesus
350
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:39,320
that all authority goes with us,
that Jesus authority on heaven
351
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:43,760
earth is actually living in US
and over us is the power of God
352
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,920
through us.
So we get to be the vessels that
353
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:50,560
restore that redeem that that
work for God's goodness.
354
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,280
And you look out and you look at
every situation really corrupt
355
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,120
or broken and we need the
opportunity to step in for
356
00:19:56,120 --> 00:19:58,000
Jesus.
It's an opportunity to be the
357
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:58,920
hands of feet of Christ.
Why?
358
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,480
Because we have the authority of
God to do the work of God that
359
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,120
he's not willing just to do in
heaven.
360
00:20:04,120 --> 00:20:07,240
He wants to do now on Earth.
And so when you see brokenness,
361
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,000
you see disease, you see
injustice, you, you see family
362
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,160
dynamics, you see all these
things that are broken, you are
363
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,800
the person given by God, the
authority of heaven and earth to
364
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,240
make a difference right now in
their lives.
365
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,200
Nothing is outside the hand of
God.
366
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,480
And so when you pray, you better
pray like it matters, because it
367
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,240
does matter, because Jesus has
given us the authority.
368
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,120
So we pray with boldness if
somebody has a disease or
369
00:20:33,120 --> 00:20:35,240
somebody's broken or somebody
has lost.
370
00:20:35,360 --> 00:20:38,520
We pray with great expectation
that God wants to move because
371
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,920
he has all authority to do so in
our time, in our life.
372
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,800
And so we step in as men and
women of courage, not being
373
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,880
casual as Christians, but full
of courage because it actually
374
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,880
makes a difference.
Now when you serve, we serve
375
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,920
because it matters.
When you serve people, you're
376
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,160
like, oh, I'm not making a
difference.
377
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,000
And you know, I don't know if
this person can change or this
378
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,480
person is just too far gone.
Can I encourage you that God has
379
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:06,400
not given up, that he is going
to redeem and we need to play a
380
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,800
part of that story.
I was actually at the car place
381
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,400
the other day and I was talking
to somebody and there's a car at
382
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:13,960
our church.
So we're going to hand off.
383
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,200
And I was telling part of the
story of the person taking it.
384
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,800
And this guy's like, well, as
long as we're working hard, as
385
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,080
long as you're going the extra
mile, as long as you're putting
386
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,520
their time in, as long as you
show them self this and that.
387
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,240
I was like, Hey, listen, you
know, it's a good thing that God
388
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,120
didn't have the same standard
for us because the Bible says
389
00:21:29,120 --> 00:21:31,440
in, in Romans, it says that we
were yet helpless.
390
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:36,160
Christ died for us.
Like when we could not do what
391
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,000
need to be done, Jesus stepped
in because we needed him.
392
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,520
And that's what we do for people
sometimes we help them with
393
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,920
their loss and they're stranded
and they're broken and you feel
394
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,520
like, man, they're, they're,
they're probably just going to
395
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:48,040
walk on me again.
Well, guess what?
396
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,360
We serve them because God is
redeeming things and we don't,
397
00:21:51,360 --> 00:21:54,000
we're not the Holy Spirit.
And so we get to just lay our
398
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,200
lives down and surrender and
serve people.
399
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,640
So me honestly serve some people
this weekend.
400
00:21:59,120 --> 00:22:00,760
There's some driveways that need
to be shoveled.
401
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,560
Amen, right.
There's some people that need
402
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,400
some help and gospel the people
in your heart.
403
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:06,760
Why?
Because you get to bring
404
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,480
redemption.
You get to soften hearts by
405
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:09,960
serving.
You know, it's amazing.
406
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,800
We give now like heaven, it's
amazing.
407
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,320
Christians are the only people
that when we exchange money,
408
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,840
we're actually doing it for
God's glory.
409
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,440
That's the amazing thing, like
at church.
410
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,440
And we give, we're given to
God's glory as a man and woman
411
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,120
of God.
And we, we steward our money
412
00:22:26,120 --> 00:22:27,920
well, we invest it well, we
serve it.
413
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,080
We serve God with our money
through investments, through
414
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,320
strategies, through through our
businesses, and we're honoring
415
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:34,000
God.
Guess what?
416
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,000
We're worshipping God and every
now and then we get to travel
417
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,520
like the new heaven, right with
our children and go to the new
418
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,520
Jerusalem to the temple and we
get to worship God.
419
00:22:44,360 --> 00:22:47,480
So every time you give, guess
what you're giving like heaven,
420
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,720
Amen.
You're you're giving right now
421
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,680
is already going to be something
you're going to do in eternity.
422
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,960
I would encourage you as well.
When you make disciples, you're
423
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,440
AC it actually matters like how
many of you have learned
424
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,800
something today by watching this
video?
425
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,800
Just a couple pieces of
scripture and it's changing your
426
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,760
life, it's transforming your
heart.
427
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,440
It's, it's, it's motivating you
to go out.
428
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,240
It's spurring you on.
How many of you could just
429
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:14,800
simply share that with somebody
else, right?
430
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,480
We, we just bring it to our
family and our friends, our
431
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,200
children.
We can share the post like we,
432
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,200
we can start a Bible study.
We can call up a friend and just
433
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,200
weave in the stories.
What God's doing.
434
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:26,960
Just remind people, Oh, there's
something so much greater.
435
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:28,160
Oh man, you know what?
We're in the same earth.
436
00:23:28,360 --> 00:23:31,880
You can just share these stories
as a part of your life and truly
437
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,520
make disciples that go out and
change the world.
438
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,560
Why we do this?
Because God is not done yet.
439
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:40,640
Our church has an amazing
vision.
440
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,760
This year, 2026, we want to see
100 people baptized.
441
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,000
Why?
Because God's not done and
442
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,640
neither are we.
Like we believe that God is
443
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,880
moving and there's a redemption
across our city and we're
444
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,640
believing that God is willing
and we just need to lock in to
445
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:01,040
his mission and his call to
bring to disciple to share Jesus
446
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:02,960
and see what God can do across
our city.
447
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,960
We're believing God to send out
30 people commissioned to be
448
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,880
disciple makers across our city.
And not only that, hopefully
449
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,320
across the nations as God has
called us to go, people that
450
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,920
would make disciples by sharing
God's truth and helping people
451
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,240
obey his teachings and sent out
for him to the Holy Spirit.
452
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,720
We're praying and trusting God
that we can locate our first
453
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,640
permanent home.
Come on, somebody, we've already
454
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:31,520
have $1.9 million committed to
the space, but now we're looking
455
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:32,920
for a space that God has given
to us.
456
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,600
We know who owns the place in
Jesus, Every Square Inn, she
457
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,280
owns everything right now.
There's people that steward it.
458
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,080
And maybe God moves on the heart
of somebody as opportunity comes
459
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:43,240
up.
And so we're just praying.
460
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,200
Lord, show us.
Lord, show us the space.
461
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:46,680
That's what we want to do in
2026.
462
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,480
And ultimately for us to scatter
out with the gospel, the power
463
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:54,320
of God, the authority God to a
lost and dying world.
464
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:58,600
We are not a losing team.
We're on the winning team for
465
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:02,000
Jesus full of God's authority in
heaven earth, all things
466
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,800
redeemed through him and we go
out, we get to share the message
467
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:09,160
of hope and share a heaven that
most people have never ever even
468
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,040
heard of.
And so we serve God.
469
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,240
We're actually part of God, not
just now on this earth.
470
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,720
We're actually part of the God
for what he's already doing
471
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,040
heaven.
What do you guys pray?
472
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,760
Jesus tossed to pray.
He said, Lord, not my will be
473
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,600
done, but your will be done.
He's asking his will be done
474
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:28,160
from heaven, and we pray that
your will be done on earth just
475
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,760
like in heaven.
We're actually bringing heaven
476
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,080
to earth.
When we see relationships
477
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,120
restored, we see people come to
Christ.
478
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,800
We see people that get just a
different perspective because
479
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,600
the truth is unlocking them and
bringing freedom.
480
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,440
You're bringing heaven to earth
and we get the pleasure and the
481
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,520
privilege and the honor of
bringing as much redemption as
482
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:52,960
possible to much of humanity in
the world as possible right now
483
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,200
in our life.
So like I said, maybe you sold
484
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,440
God short, right?
Like maybe you get a little
485
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,960
dishard and you're watching too
much Fox and CNN, right?
486
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:02,800
And you're getting a little
dishard and you're wondering,
487
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:04,160
man, I don't know how much God
can redeem.
488
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,440
He's going to redeem every
single bit of it.
489
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:08,960
And so I would encourage you,
why don't we pray like it
490
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,720
matters this week?
Like pick somebody out that's
491
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:16,040
close to you but far from God
and pray specifically for them
492
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,680
to come to Christ.
Pray for God to work or life.
493
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,960
Pray for God to redeem, to
restore, to reconcile and to
494
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:26,160
resurrect lives this week.
What if you take a bold step of
495
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,280
obedience this week?
God's been asking to, to get in
496
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,400
the scripture and maybe he's
asked you to join a life group
497
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,120
or join a deeper group called
the way and, and get in the
498
00:26:33,120 --> 00:26:36,320
scripture and practices like
maybe take a bold step of
499
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,840
obedience And it, it, it
probably won't be easy.
500
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,920
And that's probably good because
we got to step out into God's
501
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,880
mission and God's call.
What if you partner with us on
502
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,560
mission and not just casually
like, oh, I'll be there on
503
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,760
Sunday, but actually partner
with some courage?
504
00:26:51,120 --> 00:26:52,600
Like it's going to cost some
things.
505
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,200
There going to be a little bit
of blood, sweat and tears.
506
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:55,640
There's going to be some
passion.
507
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,280
There's going to be some work
involved to move the gospel
508
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,240
forward.
Because I believe God is
509
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,560
willing, if Jesus was willing to
down the cross, not just to
510
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:08,360
redeem us, but to also redeem
humanity, we should be willing
511
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:13,240
to serve, to give, to lead, to
sacrifice and put him first.
512
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,440
And so this mission is the
greatest mission we could ever
513
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,680
be a part of.
And I believe God is calling us
514
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,840
in 2026.
This is why we exist.
515
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,640
This is the hope of the world.
This is the vision we have from
516
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,640
God for our church.
Why?
517
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:30,360
Because God is not done moving
and neither are we.
518
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,200
Amen.
So I encourage you guys couple
519
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,080
things.
One, if God's moving, you know,
520
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,600
like man, I want to join a team.
I want to be a part of the
521
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:39,480
mission.
I'm thinking about life groups.
522
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:41,040
Just let us know in the
comments.
523
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,880
Reach out to us.
You can just direct message us.
524
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,600
You can go to the website, you
can the the numbers on there.
525
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,000
All these things reach out to
us.
526
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,880
Let us know.
We want you to live out the will
527
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,240
of heaven on earth.
And if you need Jesus, if you're
528
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,320
watching this video, like man,
heaven is so much sweeter, so
529
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:56,440
much more amazing.
I could ever know.
530
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,280
I would encourage there's only
one way to heaven is through
531
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,320
Jesus the only the fathers to
the Son He's the way truth and
532
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,840
life no man come but the Father
but through him.
533
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,360
If you need Jesus you're just
going to cry out to Jesus Lord I
534
00:28:08,360 --> 00:28:10,880
need you.
Thank you for loving me save my
535
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:12,720
soul.
God I want you to use my life.
536
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:14,840
I turn to you and cry out to
Christ.
537
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:16,720
If you do that please let us
know.
538
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,680
We want to help you with your
steps with Jesus.
539
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,160
Guys last thing next week you're
not going to miss it.
540
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:27,440
OK, so this is February 1st.
It's at 10:00 only, OK, And
541
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,840
we're doing a life group.
I want to say this, right, kick
542
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,400
off and tailgate party.
And so if you hear last year,
543
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,360
it's going to be very similar.
We're at 10:00 only our life
544
00:28:36,360 --> 00:28:37,680
groups.
The way groups, they're going to
545
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,440
share about their groups.
It's a huge community day.
546
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,200
And then we're going to put all
these tables and we're going to
547
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:44,960
pack it out.
We have more tables.
548
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,520
We even had our last social and
then we're going to invite you
549
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:48,920
guys in.
We're going to have chicken
550
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:50,920
nachos and we're just going to
hang out.
551
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,640
So between 10 plan on being
there from 11:50 and just level
552
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,680
like a one hour gathering time
and they have a big tailgate
553
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,320
party after so invite you guys
to be a part of it and so is
554
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,280
leave day.
Guys make sure you love on some
555
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,720
people in the comments and don't
forget whoever finds Jesus
556
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:11,040
discovers real life and purpose.
Check it out though not just on
557
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,800
earth but also in heaven.
God bless guys.
00:00:30,320 --> 00:01:07,480
Yeah.
Well, welcome to real life
2
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,440
church.
It's a snow day.
3
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,640
Can you guys believe this?
Unreal.
4
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,840
I would encourage you guys to
hang in here today because
5
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,600
you're going to learn so much
about heaven.
6
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,320
I mean, your mind is going to be
blown the truth of what heavens
7
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:21,680
really like.
You know, sometimes you look at
8
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,840
the world and we think it's too
far beyond, it's too broken for
9
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,160
redemption.
And today you're going to see
10
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,960
that God is not only restoring
us, it's actually redeem
11
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,120
everything.
I'm telling you, it's just going
12
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,240
to blow your mind.
Before we jump in, I'll
13
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,480
celebrate some wins.
It's amazing.
14
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,400
Every time we talk about heaven,
people come to Jesus.
15
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,440
We've talked about not only made
for a person, you're also made
16
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,440
for a place.
And the person is Jesus and the
17
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,800
place is heaven.
And I'm so excited to share with
18
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,600
you more about heaven.
Last week, check this out, we
19
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:58,480
had six people start a
relationship with Jesus, all
20
00:01:58,480 --> 00:01:59,640
because we're talking about
heaven.
21
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:02,120
And the point is this, you can't
have heaven without Jesus, and
22
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,160
you have Jesus without heaven.
They come together.
23
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:05,920
And so we're talking about
heaven again today.
24
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,199
And I believe God's going to see
more people come to Christ.
25
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,520
I would encourage you guys who
are watching, man, it's it means
26
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,840
the world to us when you share,
like, comment, follow.
27
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,360
Holy smokes, we've done the 10
days of heavenly vision.
28
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,200
And I can't tell you how
exciting it's been, how powerful
29
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:26,240
it's been to see people share
and comment in the world,
30
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,080
responding to these little bits
of gold, these little pieces,
31
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,760
these Nuggets of scripture, just
encouraging people about
32
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,640
thinking differently about
heaven and how it changed their
33
00:02:35,640 --> 00:02:37,520
life.
So today, just by hitting that
34
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,880
share button, hitting that like
button, it may change somebody's
35
00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:42,640
eternity.
And today's going to be no
36
00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:44,280
different.
It's going to be very, very,
37
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,080
very powerful.
I'll say thank you guys for
38
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,160
joining us, jump in, encourage
each other.
39
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,880
You're all at home in your PJS
drinking your coffee.
40
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,800
Hopefully it's not too crazy of
a Snowmageddon.
41
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,760
But I want to encourage you
guys.
42
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,000
Look at the look at the chat,
look who's on there.
43
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,040
Reach out, care for somebody,
let them know you love in the
44
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,560
day.
And I'm excited if you're new,
45
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,840
it's the first time you're
enjoying us a real life church.
46
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,600
I'm excited to see what God's
going to do through your life.
47
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,200
So my prayer is this whole
series is that you would see
48
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,440
heaven so much differently.
You'd be moved by heaven that
49
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,280
actually changed the way you
live on earth.
50
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,920
And I believe God has been
answering this prayer every
51
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:25,800
single week.
I know he's going to do it again
52
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,040
today.
Today is a big reminder.
53
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,760
We look out, we we see the world
in absolute chaos at times.
54
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,200
We see what's happening in
Minnesota, we see the
55
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,000
protesting, we see Venezuela.
We got Greenland, we got
56
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,000
Ukraine.
We got all sorts of things
57
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,200
happen in the world.
And you may just look out and
58
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:47,720
wonder, is God still in control?
Is the world too far gone for
59
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,840
God to fix you?
You may look out and wonder, can
60
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:56,200
God still move in these areas?
Is there is there something past
61
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,120
redemption or is there someone
past redemption?
62
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,840
And it's easy to say, man, this
whole world is going to hell in
63
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,200
a handbasket.
And I would encourage you today,
64
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,080
you're going to see something
drastically different, that the
65
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,160
world itself is going to be
redeemed by God and it's
66
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,840
actually going to heaven and not
to hell.
67
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,760
Not to say that hell didn't
exist, but the reality is God's
68
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,079
do something very different on
this earth.
69
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:21,680
The redemption goes far beyond
just us.
70
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,280
So God has not done yet.
And the point today is neither
71
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,640
are we.
So don't you check this out.
72
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:28,960
I'm going to expand your vision
to heaven.
73
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,960
Just think about this.
You may not know this in the New
74
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,720
Testament, it's out.
This is actually not the first
75
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,040
time it mentions the new heaven
and the new earth.
76
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,320
It's actually mentioned way
before Revelation 21.
77
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,720
It's actually mentioned four
times in the Bible all the way
78
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,320
back in the Old Testament with
Isaiah.
79
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,160
So I want you to check this
verse out, Isaiah 6517.
80
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:54,040
It says this, behold, I'll
create new heavens and a new
81
00:04:54,280 --> 00:04:56,160
earth.
How do you guys right now, your
82
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,640
mind is absolutely blown.
You've grown up in church, you
83
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,400
you've heard some of these
stories and you had no idea that
84
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,360
the new heaven and the new earth
actually exist all the way back
85
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,480
in the Old Testament.
You just thought this was like
86
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,080
the end times, like the game
plan was revealed at the end.
87
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:16,080
But you see here in Isaiah 65,
Isaiah 66 says this verse 22 as
88
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,960
a new heavens and a new earth
that I make will endure before
89
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,600
me.
It will last before me declares
90
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,880
the Lord.
So will your name and
91
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,760
descendants endure that they
will last forever.
92
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,160
So it's mentioned twice in the
Old Testament, second Peter 313,
93
00:05:30,840 --> 00:05:33,920
third time in keeping with his
promises, talking about God.
94
00:05:34,280 --> 00:05:40,120
We are looking forward, we're
longing for to a new heaven and
95
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,920
a new earth, a home of
righteousness.
96
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,880
This is amazing.
Like I, the Peter is looking
97
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,840
back at Isaiah and his home and
his heart is looking forward to
98
00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:53,480
the new heaven and the new
earth.
99
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,400
And of course, Revelation 21
one, this is the most popular
100
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,640
and most of us probably only
thought of this verse.
101
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:03,320
It says this and I saw this John
talking a new heaven, a new
102
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:08,560
earth for the 1st heaven and the
first earth had passed away.
103
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,440
Now, if you're like me, I think
of this verse, I'm thinking man.
104
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,360
So the old heaven and the old
earth, they're destroyed like
105
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,920
they've passed away.
But if you really look at this
106
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,600
verse and you look at the Holy
Scripture, you're going to find
107
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,240
out that doesn't mean it's
destroyed.
108
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:28,640
Think about this.
When we pass away as humans, are
109
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,000
we destroyed?
Like we we talk about
110
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,920
resurrected souls and
resurrected bodies?
111
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,680
Do we cease to exist and God
just recreates us from the
112
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,600
scratch or he resurrects us?
So just because you pass away
113
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,200
doesn't mean you're actually
destroyed.
114
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,080
Think about this, Noah, the time
the flood, God destroyed the
115
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,000
earth in the flood, but did the
earth actually be destroyed?
116
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,880
It's all gone or he just change
it in a drastic way.
117
00:06:52,280 --> 00:06:56,320
And so I would encourage you
that God is not destroying the
118
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,520
old earth and creating a brand
new and he's actually
119
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:02,960
resurrecting the old earth.
Remember when he created the
120
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,480
heavens and the earth and he
looked at and said things were
121
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,000
good and they're very good?
He is never ceased.
122
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,840
He's never renounced his claim
on his creation.
123
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,680
He's actually never abandoned
his earth and he's going to
124
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,680
restore it.
Think about this.
125
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,120
This is very interesting.
This is a prophetess, Anna in
126
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,240
the New Testament.
Jesus had been born in Mary and
127
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,120
Joseph and baby Jesus, they
traveled to the temple.
128
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,680
And Anna's in her 80s and she's
one of the last prophets, the
129
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,080
Old Testament.
And look, look at her life.
130
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,360
It says she's never left the
temple, but she's worshipped
131
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,680
night and day.
You think about being devout,
132
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,480
somebody who knows scripture,
they've never left the temple,
133
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,040
the presence of God, and they're
worshipping day and night.
134
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,320
Not only that, they're she's
fasting and she's praying, she's
135
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,520
seeking God's presence, she's
living in the Holy Spirit.
136
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,200
She knows exactly the plan of
God and this is what she says
137
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,240
coming up to them being Joseph
and Mary with baby Jesus.
138
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,440
At that very moment, she gave
thanks to God and spoke about
139
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,960
the child, about Jesus.
To all who are looking forward
140
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:06,280
to look at this, what does it
say?
141
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:13,240
The redemption of Jerusalem?
It doesn't say the redemption of
142
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,440
humanity or the redemption of a
person.
143
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,480
It's actually the redemption of
a city.
144
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:23,320
So Jesus is not just saving
souls according to this verse.
145
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:27,400
He's actually saving cities.
He saved civilization.
146
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,240
For the longest time, most of us
have thought that the plan of
147
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,880
salvation only extends to
humanity.
148
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,400
And I would encourage you that
God's redemptive plan is not so
149
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,200
modest.
It actually extends to
150
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,680
everything.
It's restoring every bit of His
151
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:49,120
creation and more.
Ephesians 110 says this and it
152
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,840
says God's perfect plan.
He says to bring all things, not
153
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,680
just some things or little
pieces, but every single thing.
154
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:01,840
Look at this in heaven and on
earth together under one head,
155
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:06,000
Christ, everything is being
redeemed, not just people.
156
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,520
And the reality is this, if
we're not careful, we can look
157
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,760
at the world and we can kind of
give up on it.
158
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,680
We can kind of look out and, and
say, man, this is way too far
159
00:09:13,680 --> 00:09:16,000
gone.
Like man, thank God, I'm leaving
160
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,280
earth and going to heaven and
I'm exiting this old rickety
161
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,000
world.
And these things are beyond
162
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,040
redemption.
So the nations and the cities
163
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,600
and corruption and, and, and
leadership and politicians and,
164
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,160
and different levels of
authority, all this is just
165
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,360
going to disappear one day.
And life can be good.
166
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,400
And that cannot be farther from
the truth because God is
167
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,400
actually going to use those
things and redeem all those
168
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,960
things.
He's never given up on any
169
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:44,280
square inch or any split second
of anything he has created.
170
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,040
Let me encourage you with this.
God will surrender no territory
171
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,320
to the enemy.
Can I get an Amen?
172
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:53,680
He's going to surrender 0
territory.
173
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,320
There's only one flag that's
going to fly over anything he's
174
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,800
ever created and it's the banner
of Jesus.
175
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,400
And I get really excited when I
think about this scripture and I
176
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,640
think about this truth, man, my
heart starts pumping.
177
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,480
Then I get just, it's just just
boisterous man.
178
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,600
Just heart throbbing with
excitement because everything
179
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,800
that we feel is wrong and
injust, corrupt and broken and
180
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,440
the wars and the, and the, and
the hatred and the bitterness
181
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,920
and the, all these things.
And we can kind of go, oh man,
182
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,320
where's God?
I'm encouraging him that God is
183
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:28,040
not a scientist that failed with
an experiment that got thwarted
184
00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:31,320
and he had to make a bad thing
or a good thing out of bad.
185
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,520
He's actually going to redeem
every single piece.
186
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,400
Like he's just getting started.
Like he is not done yet.
187
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,120
And so we're not done yet.
Now think about Isaiah 60 and
188
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,720
you think about what heaven's
going to look like.
189
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,440
And I want you to see the stuff
that God redeems.
190
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:50,920
I want to read part of Isaiah
60.
191
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,520
And this is actually a vision of
the New Jerusalem that's going
192
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,720
to be in the new heavens.
This is what it says, and I'll
193
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,640
start in verse 5.
It says then you will look and
194
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,840
be radiant.
Your heart will throb and swell
195
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,400
with joy.
That sounds good.
196
00:11:05,680 --> 00:11:08,200
This is the New Jerusalem in new
heaven says the wealth of the
197
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:12,120
Seas will be brought to you to
the you the riches of the
198
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,960
nations will come.
So there's nations in this new
199
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,200
Jerusalem in heaven, herds of
camels.
200
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,640
How many guys do camels in
heaven, right will cover your
201
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,800
land.
Young camels from Midian and
202
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:26,200
Etha and all from Sheba will
come bearing look at this gold
203
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,480
and incense in proclaiming the
praise the Lord.
204
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,040
All kidder flocks will be
gathered to you.
205
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:36,560
The Rams.
So now you got Rams of Nepaloth
206
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,200
will serve you.
They'll be accepted as offerings
207
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,280
on my altar.
I will adorn my glorious temple.
208
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,840
Talk about the temple in heaven.
Who are these that fly along
209
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,280
like clouds, like doves to their
nest?
210
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,720
So there's birds.
It's just surely the islands.
211
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,320
Come on, there's islands in
heaven.
212
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:58,600
Look to me and the lead are the
ships of Tarsus.
213
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,480
So not only there's islands,
actually ships coming from these
214
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,200
islands.
Bring your children from afar.
215
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:10,240
Look at this with silver and
gold to do what honor to the
216
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,800
honor of the Lord your God, the
whole in Israel who has endowed
217
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,560
you with splendor.
You think about this, you had
218
00:12:18,560 --> 00:12:20,640
no, you're thinking like, OK, I
thought we were going to be
219
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,600
floating around the clouds and
we're going to Angel wings.
220
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,040
All stuff.
Heaven is coming to the new
221
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:31,280
earth and it's going to be the
same place as this old earth.
222
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,840
And the things that are corrupt
right now in this world, all the
223
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:40,520
money, all the politics, all the
brokenness is going to be used
224
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:46,360
in the new earth to God's glory.
Not only does he restore his
225
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,360
creation, the work of his hands,
the the world itself, the Bible
226
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:53,520
says that the earth itself
groans with pains for
227
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,000
redemption.
So it's not just us that are
228
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,760
being redeemed.
It's every part of creation
229
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,320
that's being redeemed.
But further yet it's pretty
230
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,680
amazing.
Not only the gold's redeemed,
231
00:13:03,680 --> 00:13:05,800
right?
You saw that it's used for God's
232
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,840
glory, but what else redeemed?
There's ships sailing on the sea
233
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,000
from these awesome islands.
They're going with their
234
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,800
children and with their gold and
silver to honor the Lord.
235
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:21,120
So not only is the the creator
has redeemed his creation, he's
236
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,880
actually redeeming the works of
his creation.
237
00:13:25,560 --> 00:13:29,960
He's redeeming the ships that we
built in the systems of our
238
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,200
civilizations.
And in the heaven you're going
239
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:36,800
to find culture and art and
nations and kings and gold and
240
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,240
treasure and islands and
animals.
241
00:13:39,680 --> 00:13:41,000
Like this is a far different
heaven.
242
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,440
This is way more exciting and
God's way bigger than maybe we
243
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,520
ever thought.
For some of us, our minds have
244
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,680
thought, man God's a pretty
modest God, like he's done all
245
00:13:49,680 --> 00:13:52,120
he can and we're kind of going
to give up and we're here to
246
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,480
reach people.
But the reality is God's
247
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,680
redemption extends far beyond
most of us ever thought or even
248
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,400
imagine.
Think about this, the words for
249
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,120
the new heaven that you see in
the Bible and the new earth.
250
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:10,360
You see the words redeem,
restore, recover, return, renew,
251
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,240
regenerate and resurrect.
And so the Earth is actually the
252
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:19,320
return to its original condition
before it was lost, before it
253
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,120
was broken.
So think about this.
254
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,840
This is pretty cool.
Adam and Eve, they're in
255
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,760
paradise, and they'll be the
only two people that will
256
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,320
actually experience all three
Earths.
257
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,440
They'll be in paradise.
They're in Paradise Lost, and
258
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:38,280
they're in paradise resurrected.
How crazy to think about.
259
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:42,200
It's all the same planet.
Like we're literally on the same
260
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:46,440
globe and God is going to
resurrect all of the brokenness
261
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,360
and change it and to be
transformed into something for
262
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,640
his glory the way it should be.
So this is amazing.
263
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,000
So if you're homesick for
heaven, you have loved ones
264
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,640
there, you're dream about it.
You may I can't wait man, till
265
00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,960
God brings me home.
I can't wait to be a part of the
266
00:14:59,960 --> 00:15:01,440
glory of God and see what's
happening.
267
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,840
And you're homesick.
This is pretty crazy thing about
268
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,480
you're actually homesick while
you're still home.
269
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,760
You're homesick now to the place
you're going to be in the
270
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,360
future.
It is amazing to think through.
271
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,960
And so God is not a scientist
with a failed experience.
272
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:22,640
He's a Redeemer finishing his
masterpiece and he wants to
273
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,480
finish it with us.
It's pretty cool.
274
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,800
Colossians 119 This is for God
was pleased to have all his
275
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,840
fullness dwell on him, which is
Jesus and through him to
276
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:37,600
reconcile to himself all things,
every single thing on the earth,
277
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,680
whether things on earth or
things in heaven by making peace
278
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:46,200
through his blood shed on the
cross, Jesus is going to bring
279
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,440
redemption and his perfect
timing to every single thing.
280
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:54,600
So big picture, heaven is not
Plan B for some of us and most
281
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,320
of us, we think man, we could
escape this this earth and then
282
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,360
we get to move into the the
perfection of heaven when the
283
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:05,600
reality is heaven is actually
God finishing his plan A where
284
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,800
he redeems all thanks for his
glory.
285
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,720
And so we don't give up like we
see corruption, we see
286
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,080
brokenness, we see, see, see
just injustice, we see, we see
287
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,360
trauma, we see brokenness and we
think, oh, where's God?
288
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:22,160
God is going to redeem it and he
wants to use us as part of the
289
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:23,840
process.
Think about this.
290
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:29,280
God will not and has not ever
will give up the title deed to
291
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,960
earth.
He's not surrendering earth to
292
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,440
the enemy.
He's not giving up on it.
293
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,240
May have so much joy in our
bones to think about.
294
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,160
He's not going to destroy this
place.
295
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:40,480
He's going to redeem it for His
glory.
296
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:44,120
He is a big God and he will
destroy all the competitors.
297
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,840
Anybody wants to take dominion.
Any powers of evil he'll destroy
298
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,520
and take away because of his
authority, His might, and his
299
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,520
power for his glory.
And for some of us, we thought
300
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,720
man, God's real modest, right?
Like his redemptive work is.
301
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,040
It's just he's just barely
getting by and it just extends
302
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,320
to humanity.
But it's far larger, larger than
303
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,040
that.
When Christ down the cross, he
304
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,839
bought and paid for not just us,
but he paid for the entire earth
305
00:17:08,839 --> 00:17:10,480
as well.
You see this in the Psalms of
306
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,640
the earth.
We filled with God's glory.
307
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,920
So here's the point.
If God is not done yet, and by
308
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,599
the way, He's right on time, He
knows exactly what he's doing.
309
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,920
Here's the point, we are not
done either.
310
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,680
Like we are a part of God's plan
of redemption.
311
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,560
We get to join him by God's
grace and God's mercy.
312
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,320
We get to join God in his plan
to bring redemption to not just
313
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,120
to humanity, but the world
itself.
314
00:17:36,360 --> 00:17:38,840
Right now.
They actually find this of all
315
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,200
places in the Great Commission.
If you don't know, it's in
316
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,680
Matthew 28 and then we're start
in verse 18.
317
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,040
It says, then Jesus came and
said to them being his
318
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,720
disciples, He said all
authority.
319
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:53,640
Now where's the authority coming
from?
320
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:59,240
Look at this, in heaven and on
earth has been given to me.
321
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:06,520
My Father has given me every bit
of authority and dominion.
322
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:11,600
And Jesus is not going to lose 1
square inch or one split second
323
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,040
of his dominion.
It's given to Jesus all of
324
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,960
heaven, all of earth, and he
sells to those disciples.
325
00:18:18,120 --> 00:18:20,000
Therefore, go, go.
Why?
326
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:21,640
Go?
Because I have all authority.
327
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,080
Go because I'm going to redeem
all things.
328
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,480
Go because I want you to play a
part of the story.
329
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,600
I know how the story works out.
I want you to play a part of the
330
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:33,720
story and go and make disciples
of all nations, nations that
331
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,240
he'll one day redeem.
Now, whether in the new heaven
332
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,480
and the earth we have the same
nations, we don't really know.
333
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,240
But we do know we will have
nations and we need to play a
334
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:47,320
part of the redemption of those
nations right now.
335
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:51,000
How incredible to play a part of
that story, man, it'd be amazing
336
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,600
to get to heaven and God say,
well done, my good and faithful
337
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,440
service.
Thank you for playing a part of
338
00:18:55,440 --> 00:19:00,280
redemption on earth and not
building a sandcastle with those
339
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,600
years I gave you, but leveraging
it for the redemption of
340
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,200
humanity in the world and
speaking out for truth and
341
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,480
justice and the things that
matter at the heart of God.
342
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,320
So he makes disciples, all
nations baptized in the name of
343
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,160
the Father and of the Son and
the Holy Spirit, teaching them
344
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,440
to obey everything.
I've command you and look at the
345
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:19,840
end.
So we're going to teach,
346
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,880
baptize, and then we're going to
go make disciples.
347
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,480
How like what's our motivation?
Why should we do this?
348
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:31,080
Because it's a surely I am with
you always to the very end of
349
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,200
the age.
We go through the power of Jesus
350
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:39,320
that all authority goes with us,
that Jesus authority on heaven
351
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:43,760
earth is actually living in US
and over us is the power of God
352
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,920
through us.
So we get to be the vessels that
353
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:50,560
restore that redeem that that
work for God's goodness.
354
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,280
And you look out and you look at
every situation really corrupt
355
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,120
or broken and we need the
opportunity to step in for
356
00:19:56,120 --> 00:19:58,000
Jesus.
It's an opportunity to be the
357
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:58,920
hands of feet of Christ.
Why?
358
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,480
Because we have the authority of
God to do the work of God that
359
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,120
he's not willing just to do in
heaven.
360
00:20:04,120 --> 00:20:07,240
He wants to do now on Earth.
And so when you see brokenness,
361
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,000
you see disease, you see
injustice, you, you see family
362
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,160
dynamics, you see all these
things that are broken, you are
363
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,800
the person given by God, the
authority of heaven and earth to
364
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,240
make a difference right now in
their lives.
365
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,200
Nothing is outside the hand of
God.
366
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,480
And so when you pray, you better
pray like it matters, because it
367
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,240
does matter, because Jesus has
given us the authority.
368
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,120
So we pray with boldness if
somebody has a disease or
369
00:20:33,120 --> 00:20:35,240
somebody's broken or somebody
has lost.
370
00:20:35,360 --> 00:20:38,520
We pray with great expectation
that God wants to move because
371
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,920
he has all authority to do so in
our time, in our life.
372
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,800
And so we step in as men and
women of courage, not being
373
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,880
casual as Christians, but full
of courage because it actually
374
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,880
makes a difference.
Now when you serve, we serve
375
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,920
because it matters.
When you serve people, you're
376
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,160
like, oh, I'm not making a
difference.
377
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,000
And you know, I don't know if
this person can change or this
378
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,480
person is just too far gone.
Can I encourage you that God has
379
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:06,400
not given up, that he is going
to redeem and we need to play a
380
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,800
part of that story.
I was actually at the car place
381
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,400
the other day and I was talking
to somebody and there's a car at
382
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:13,960
our church.
So we're going to hand off.
383
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,200
And I was telling part of the
story of the person taking it.
384
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,800
And this guy's like, well, as
long as we're working hard, as
385
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,080
long as you're going the extra
mile, as long as you're putting
386
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,520
their time in, as long as you
show them self this and that.
387
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,240
I was like, Hey, listen, you
know, it's a good thing that God
388
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,120
didn't have the same standard
for us because the Bible says
389
00:21:29,120 --> 00:21:31,440
in, in Romans, it says that we
were yet helpless.
390
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:36,160
Christ died for us.
Like when we could not do what
391
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,000
need to be done, Jesus stepped
in because we needed him.
392
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,520
And that's what we do for people
sometimes we help them with
393
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,920
their loss and they're stranded
and they're broken and you feel
394
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,520
like, man, they're, they're,
they're probably just going to
395
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:48,040
walk on me again.
Well, guess what?
396
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,360
We serve them because God is
redeeming things and we don't,
397
00:21:51,360 --> 00:21:54,000
we're not the Holy Spirit.
And so we get to just lay our
398
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,200
lives down and surrender and
serve people.
399
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,640
So me honestly serve some people
this weekend.
400
00:21:59,120 --> 00:22:00,760
There's some driveways that need
to be shoveled.
401
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,560
Amen, right.
There's some people that need
402
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,400
some help and gospel the people
in your heart.
403
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:06,760
Why?
Because you get to bring
404
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,480
redemption.
You get to soften hearts by
405
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:09,960
serving.
You know, it's amazing.
406
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,800
We give now like heaven, it's
amazing.
407
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,320
Christians are the only people
that when we exchange money,
408
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,840
we're actually doing it for
God's glory.
409
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,440
That's the amazing thing, like
at church.
410
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,440
And we give, we're given to
God's glory as a man and woman
411
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,120
of God.
And we, we steward our money
412
00:22:26,120 --> 00:22:27,920
well, we invest it well, we
serve it.
413
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,080
We serve God with our money
through investments, through
414
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,320
strategies, through through our
businesses, and we're honoring
415
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:34,000
God.
Guess what?
416
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,000
We're worshipping God and every
now and then we get to travel
417
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,520
like the new heaven, right with
our children and go to the new
418
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,520
Jerusalem to the temple and we
get to worship God.
419
00:22:44,360 --> 00:22:47,480
So every time you give, guess
what you're giving like heaven,
420
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,720
Amen.
You're you're giving right now
421
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,680
is already going to be something
you're going to do in eternity.
422
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,960
I would encourage you as well.
When you make disciples, you're
423
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,440
AC it actually matters like how
many of you have learned
424
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,800
something today by watching this
video?
425
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,800
Just a couple pieces of
scripture and it's changing your
426
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,760
life, it's transforming your
heart.
427
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,440
It's, it's, it's motivating you
to go out.
428
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,240
It's spurring you on.
How many of you could just
429
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:14,800
simply share that with somebody
else, right?
430
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,480
We, we just bring it to our
family and our friends, our
431
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,200
children.
We can share the post like we,
432
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,200
we can start a Bible study.
We can call up a friend and just
433
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,200
weave in the stories.
What God's doing.
434
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:26,960
Just remind people, Oh, there's
something so much greater.
435
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:28,160
Oh man, you know what?
We're in the same earth.
436
00:23:28,360 --> 00:23:31,880
You can just share these stories
as a part of your life and truly
437
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,520
make disciples that go out and
change the world.
438
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,560
Why we do this?
Because God is not done yet.
439
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:40,640
Our church has an amazing
vision.
440
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,760
This year, 2026, we want to see
100 people baptized.
441
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,000
Why?
Because God's not done and
442
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,640
neither are we.
Like we believe that God is
443
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,880
moving and there's a redemption
across our city and we're
444
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,640
believing that God is willing
and we just need to lock in to
445
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:01,040
his mission and his call to
bring to disciple to share Jesus
446
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:02,960
and see what God can do across
our city.
447
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,960
We're believing God to send out
30 people commissioned to be
448
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,880
disciple makers across our city.
And not only that, hopefully
449
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,320
across the nations as God has
called us to go, people that
450
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,920
would make disciples by sharing
God's truth and helping people
451
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,240
obey his teachings and sent out
for him to the Holy Spirit.
452
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,720
We're praying and trusting God
that we can locate our first
453
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,640
permanent home.
Come on, somebody, we've already
454
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:31,520
have $1.9 million committed to
the space, but now we're looking
455
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:32,920
for a space that God has given
to us.
456
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,600
We know who owns the place in
Jesus, Every Square Inn, she
457
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,280
owns everything right now.
There's people that steward it.
458
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,080
And maybe God moves on the heart
of somebody as opportunity comes
459
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:43,240
up.
And so we're just praying.
460
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,200
Lord, show us.
Lord, show us the space.
461
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:46,680
That's what we want to do in
2026.
462
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,480
And ultimately for us to scatter
out with the gospel, the power
463
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:54,320
of God, the authority God to a
lost and dying world.
464
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:58,600
We are not a losing team.
We're on the winning team for
465
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:02,000
Jesus full of God's authority in
heaven earth, all things
466
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,800
redeemed through him and we go
out, we get to share the message
467
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:09,160
of hope and share a heaven that
most people have never ever even
468
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,040
heard of.
And so we serve God.
469
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,240
We're actually part of God, not
just now on this earth.
470
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,720
We're actually part of the God
for what he's already doing
471
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,040
heaven.
What do you guys pray?
472
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,760
Jesus tossed to pray.
He said, Lord, not my will be
473
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,600
done, but your will be done.
He's asking his will be done
474
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:28,160
from heaven, and we pray that
your will be done on earth just
475
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,760
like in heaven.
We're actually bringing heaven
476
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,080
to earth.
When we see relationships
477
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,120
restored, we see people come to
Christ.
478
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,800
We see people that get just a
different perspective because
479
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,600
the truth is unlocking them and
bringing freedom.
480
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,440
You're bringing heaven to earth
and we get the pleasure and the
481
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,520
privilege and the honor of
bringing as much redemption as
482
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:52,960
possible to much of humanity in
the world as possible right now
483
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,200
in our life.
So like I said, maybe you sold
484
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,440
God short, right?
Like maybe you get a little
485
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,960
dishard and you're watching too
much Fox and CNN, right?
486
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:02,800
And you're getting a little
dishard and you're wondering,
487
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:04,160
man, I don't know how much God
can redeem.
488
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,440
He's going to redeem every
single bit of it.
489
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:08,960
And so I would encourage you,
why don't we pray like it
490
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,720
matters this week?
Like pick somebody out that's
491
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:16,040
close to you but far from God
and pray specifically for them
492
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,680
to come to Christ.
Pray for God to work or life.
493
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,960
Pray for God to redeem, to
restore, to reconcile and to
494
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:26,160
resurrect lives this week.
What if you take a bold step of
495
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,280
obedience this week?
God's been asking to, to get in
496
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,400
the scripture and maybe he's
asked you to join a life group
497
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,120
or join a deeper group called
the way and, and get in the
498
00:26:33,120 --> 00:26:36,320
scripture and practices like
maybe take a bold step of
499
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,840
obedience And it, it, it
probably won't be easy.
500
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,920
And that's probably good because
we got to step out into God's
501
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,880
mission and God's call.
What if you partner with us on
502
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,560
mission and not just casually
like, oh, I'll be there on
503
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,760
Sunday, but actually partner
with some courage?
504
00:26:51,120 --> 00:26:52,600
Like it's going to cost some
things.
505
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,200
There going to be a little bit
of blood, sweat and tears.
506
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:55,640
There's going to be some
passion.
507
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,280
There's going to be some work
involved to move the gospel
508
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,240
forward.
Because I believe God is
509
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,560
willing, if Jesus was willing to
down the cross, not just to
510
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:08,360
redeem us, but to also redeem
humanity, we should be willing
511
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:13,240
to serve, to give, to lead, to
sacrifice and put him first.
512
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,440
And so this mission is the
greatest mission we could ever
513
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,680
be a part of.
And I believe God is calling us
514
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,840
in 2026.
This is why we exist.
515
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,640
This is the hope of the world.
This is the vision we have from
516
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,640
God for our church.
Why?
517
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:30,360
Because God is not done moving
and neither are we.
518
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,200
Amen.
So I encourage you guys couple
519
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,080
things.
One, if God's moving, you know,
520
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,600
like man, I want to join a team.
I want to be a part of the
521
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:39,480
mission.
I'm thinking about life groups.
522
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:41,040
Just let us know in the
comments.
523
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,880
Reach out to us.
You can just direct message us.
524
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,600
You can go to the website, you
can the the numbers on there.
525
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,000
All these things reach out to
us.
526
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,880
Let us know.
We want you to live out the will
527
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,240
of heaven on earth.
And if you need Jesus, if you're
528
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,320
watching this video, like man,
heaven is so much sweeter, so
529
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:56,440
much more amazing.
I could ever know.
530
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,280
I would encourage there's only
one way to heaven is through
531
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,320
Jesus the only the fathers to
the Son He's the way truth and
532
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,840
life no man come but the Father
but through him.
533
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,360
If you need Jesus you're just
going to cry out to Jesus Lord I
534
00:28:08,360 --> 00:28:10,880
need you.
Thank you for loving me save my
535
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:12,720
soul.
God I want you to use my life.
536
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:14,840
I turn to you and cry out to
Christ.
537
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:16,720
If you do that please let us
know.
538
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,680
We want to help you with your
steps with Jesus.
539
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,160
Guys last thing next week you're
not going to miss it.
540
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:27,440
OK, so this is February 1st.
It's at 10:00 only, OK, And
541
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,840
we're doing a life group.
I want to say this, right, kick
542
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,400
off and tailgate party.
And so if you hear last year,
543
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,360
it's going to be very similar.
We're at 10:00 only our life
544
00:28:36,360 --> 00:28:37,680
groups.
The way groups, they're going to
545
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,440
share about their groups.
It's a huge community day.
546
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,200
And then we're going to put all
these tables and we're going to
547
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:44,960
pack it out.
We have more tables.
548
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,520
We even had our last social and
then we're going to invite you
549
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:48,920
guys in.
We're going to have chicken
550
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:50,920
nachos and we're just going to
hang out.
551
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,640
So between 10 plan on being
there from 11:50 and just level
552
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,680
like a one hour gathering time
and they have a big tailgate
553
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,320
party after so invite you guys
to be a part of it and so is
554
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,280
leave day.
Guys make sure you love on some
555
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,720
people in the comments and don't
forget whoever finds Jesus
556
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:11,040
discovers real life and purpose.
Check it out though not just on
557
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,800
earth but also in heaven.
God bless guys.
