singing scripture back to god for a few moments so right now i want you to lift up a praise just as it says in the scripture you need to lift up something to the god that is more than enough [Music] jesus god i need you right now [Music] [Applause] [Music] someone asked for clarification what that word means because we know that god has many names that he's referred to throughout the word and just that word jira i know many of you heard jehovah jireh but just that word jira is the god who sees me god sees you right now he saw you when you opened up your eyes this morning and he said i've got a purpose for you today i've got something that i want to give to you today so you are here serving and praising a god that sees you so knowing right now that his eyes are on you lift up a praises he's so deserving of a praise that is worthy of the god that sees and loves and promises unto you give him another hand clap of praise before we move on this morning [Applause] jesus [Music] i want to say before we go into the sermon today thank you to everybody who showed up yesterday morning six o'clock in the morning i think we had a group of 16 if i remember correctly when michael shaw asked for some volunteers he kept texting he's worried nobody would show up and we had a great group come out and show up and do a lot of work so that back part of the property looks fantastic so thank you all so much every one of you who was a vital part of that yesterday that was incredible amen and i echo pastor dean's comments well neil had an excellent first word this morning speaking about hell there were some quotes that you need to go back and and write down and listen to or remind yourself of that was fantastic but i have to admit whenever he said for a moment he said look he said i watched one message it was a glimpse of heaven and hell i was not now i was just taking notes and i was just writing down real quick like yeah it's like i think i've heard that message before actually and he was like brother ryan yeah it was my sermon i preached it last december i had no recollection of being the person that preached it i had to go back in my notes and confirm and i'm like yep there it was y'all i tell you i've got no functioning memory it's not a joke lastly one more thing we didn't get to it last week but caleb ross is back in town with us after serving in kuwait the last seven and a half months we are so glad to have you back home with us [Music] he didn't tell me he was on his way back so when he just plopped down in the pew next to me and i was like what are you doing and i said it with that high-pitched voice because i was so surprised to have him back but we are thankful for you and thankful for your service this morning i'm going to read from genesis chapter 4 verse 3. genesis chapter four and verse number three so it came about in the course of time that cain brought an offering to the lord of the fruit of the ground abel on his part also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of their fat portions and the lord had regard for abel and for his offering but for cain and for his offering he had no regard so cain became very angry and his countenance fell and they kind of skip ahead to part of the story that you many of you know he became so angry that god accepted his brother's sacrifice and not his own that he killed his brother out of disappointment and bitterness and rage but in remembering this story we skip over to hebrews chapter 11 and verse 4 it says now faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen for by it the elders obtained a good report through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of god so the things which are seen were not made of things which do appear by faith abel offered unto god a more excellent sacrifice than cain by which he obtained witness that he was righteous god testifying of his gifts and by it he being dead yet speaketh i'm going to speak to you on this subject today bring an able offering everybody say an abel offering father we ask you to be here with us this day i ask you to help me god to speak your word to speak it with conviction with anointing with authority god help me to speak through you or speak through me today father then let me get out of your way so that you can finish your work with your people today we ask it all in the name of jesus christ and everybody say in jesus name amen you may be seated the story of cain and abel i've mentioned this before there are several passages in the word of god that have sort of caused an obsession over the years and the story of cain and abel is one that i've come back to time and time again and i can trace back my obsession to it not from hearing it in sunday school but actually going back to the john steinbeck novel called east of eden it tells a story really of two brothers whose paths are not all that dissimilar to that of cain and abel and then it talked about that word thou mayest which is the hebrew word tim shell and that kind of started a probably now 20-year obsession with this story where i've gone back to it over and over again but what i've seen is that we're often way too obsessed over the wrong person in the story our eyes are drawn to cain our eyes are drawn to the brother that survives the story our eyes are drawn to the one who commits murder out of rage and bitterness and disappointment cain was the killer cain was really the feeling of the story but the thing about culture the thing about all of us i think you can trace it back throughout human history we we are obsessed with the killers oftentimes they make documentaries about the killers but they rarely make a documentary about the victims there might be a documentary about ted bundy but there's not probably one person in here who can name one of his victims names because we all too often focus on the wrong character in these stories the wrong person to ask what went wrong what happened and we focus our attention all too often on this story on cain and we look at kane and say what was it that led cain to do this what was it about cain's offering that god found repugnant what was it about cain why was his sacrifice not accepted why did he kill abel why did he lie to god and say am i my brother's keeper what was the mark that he was given where did he go after that did he ever speak to adam and eve again and there's these questions that come out all about cain but god's interest seems to lie elsewhere in the story i want you to read verse 4 again and we've tried to highlight it a little extra special for you so you can see what i'm talking about by faith abel offered unto god a more excellent sacrifice than cain by which he somebody say abel obtain witness that was righteous god testifying of gifts and by it was dead yet speaketh cain gets one mentioned in this story but there's almost this deliberate intention of repeating abel and his pronoun he repeating it over and over again to make sure the able sacrifice made a difference to god his sacrifice the offering that he brought did something that it awakened something in god it did something when he saw that or he smelled that sweet smelling savor rise up to him it changed something in the atmosphere but then cain we want to we want to go back to cain to figure it out but god said i want you to pay attention to the brother that brought a more excellent sacrifice a more excellent sacrifice abel brought what was pleasing to god he gave him his first fruits his absolute best and all of us should try to echo the story not of cain but of abel to bring god every time we have an opportunity to approach his altar our absolute best a more excellent sacrifice to present to our god when it's time to worship it's not time to analyze and to consider how we feel to figure out how the song fits our mood it's time to raise our hands into the heavens and sing to a god who is worthy and surrender every corner of our hearts it's time to bring a more excellent sacrifice that's the offering that pleases god that changes things it's the offering that says i want that one closer to me that's the the sacrifice that god looks down and says i know him but the neil mentioned a while ago the worst words to hear would be to hear god say depart from me you work of iniquity i never knew you but he knew abel and he knew his sacrifice and it was pleasing in a sight when it's time to pray and it's time to seek god together i don't want to glance at the clock before i walk to the altar but i want to be transported immediately into the presence of god and i want to commune with him and to let him speak back to me to bring an able offering you have to bring everything to the altar of god you have to bring everything see but what's happened i've made mention of this several times because i'm wanting it to stick in your minds there was always something different about a pentecostal service my grandfather's family were terrified of what was happening at the pentecostal church that did damage to bill because bill dean my grandfather he walks in and he receives the gift of the holy ghost and he worships differently and they catch wind of what's going on and they said the war must have done something to his mind because the pentecostal service had a reputation the services were different or people that profess to be worshipping him in spirit and in truth and the worship always looked different that's why they called pentecostals holy rollers not because they just had like really impressive automobiles it had nothing to do with it it meant that people turned themselves into a steamroller and just went right down the altars and it didn't matter if anybody was there or not because they weren't allowed to open their eyes while they were doing it for some reason i don't know why that was part of the equation but if you got your praise on you had to close your eyes and then just go into helicopter spin and everybody else it was every man for himself long before a mosh pit ever happened happened at a heavy metal concert there was a pentecostal service where somebody took an elbow to the face i'm not saying that's what i want i'm just saying there was a radical element to it and there is something about destroying your own pride that god finds pleasing there's something about laying your own pride and ego at the altar and letting every distraction fade away that god finds pleasing it's an able kind of sacrifice but what's happened over time is everybody else has kind of caught on oh there's something that happens when you worship god with this kind of effusive nature and so they started doing it and then the pentecostals began to get proper there was a delay before anybody kind of chimed in just then i want to avoid becoming professional pentecostals i'm going to say that one more time i want to avoid becoming professional pentecostals because god still wants a sacrifice of praise of worship of dedication he wants us to be emotional with him because he wants us to be emotional with each other so why would he not want us to be effusive in our worship and in our praise and to tell him god i not only love you with my mind i love you with my heart it's an able kind of sacrifice that gives everything but see professional pentecostals what happens is they say well they're not worshiping in spirit and in truth the problem is all too often they're now the only ones worshiping so they don't even have a chance to get to the spirit and the truth because we've stopped at the first part of the equation if you want to worship god in spirit and in truth then the first thing that needs to go is this sense of pride that we have to have developed and i know that some of you kind of push back when i say that and say like don't put us all in that category i'm not telling you all that that's what we are i'm telling you that's what we fight we just went to a concert the worship concert this thursday evening and sherry and i debated about whether or not to go before him because we're like you know we're retired life is you know we've got three kids and the youngest one is sleeping thank you lord right i'm gonna i'm not gonna yell too loud for the remainder of this sermon because she's sleeping and we're like you know we don't know if we want to go or not and then we went to the concert at first there's like this different vibe in the place and what happened is over time people started pouring their heart out to god in every way that they knew how and something bizarre happened y'all the holy ghost started moving and i'm going to say something to admonish myself first of all and all of us together the most surprised people in the place were probably the pentecostals and you say how do you know that it was moving i'm telling you right now at some point you felt it move into the place and people that might not have everything all together the way that we want it right now had one thing in their favor they poured everything out to god and said with what i've got to offer right now i'm going to give you anything and god began to show up and i heard people begin to pray and to sing in the spirit all around and my wife is over there with a perfect stranger prophesying and they're hugging each other and crying together and the spirit of god began to move and then i thought in my head i bet there's some people on facebook that would criticize this right now there's a sacrifice that god that god wants from us and i would be very very worried if we stopped wanting to give it but i'm telling you right now our greatest enemy is apathy our greatest enemy is to let our own ego get into the way our greatest enemy is to start taking not just all of this for granted but that one-on-one connection with god where you say you know me better than anybody else knows me i want to give you everything god i'm not holding anything back none of us have all the answers right now but one thing i know if somebody pours their self out to god god will respond to an able kind of offering somebody clap your hands in this house i want you to begin to give god praise right now somebody wanted to push just then a little bit they wanted to push and to say god i want to give you something extra go ahead and take that time right now we're okay with it give god an able kind of praise right now thursday night i'll mention it to to brother harmon great sermon this morning by the way if you weren't here you didn't get that it's okay but you mentioned to him i said you know like i've there's something's going on he said he said it's the 11th hour worshipers and as soon as he said it my spirit said yep because in the latter days and those last days in these end time days he is going to pour out his spirit upon all flesh it is happening right now and if it's happening all across the globe i would hate for pentecostals to be some of the people that fall back in worship instead of giving that able kind of offering to god let's do this let's lead the charge and let's say i'll never stop giving him the offering that he so desires abraham brought an offering to god and the offering that he brought was more than just precious it was blood it was more than just precious it was his son abraham you know what now that it fits the theme abram come over here you're not called abraham yet but come on you're going to help me people are going to buy this because the spitting image of one another he said he hates me right now and it's because i'm holding his hand i guarantee it somebody get a picture of this and post it on okay i'll just just for your own comfort i'm going to just lead you okay just follow me and abraham decides look i've heard from god and god tells him something it was quite uncomfortable just stick with me you're good genesis 22 and 1 now it came after these things that god tested abraham and he said to him abraham and he said here i am and he said take now your son your only son somebody say his promise whom you love isaac i love you isaac and go to the land of moriah and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which i will tell you so abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey and took two of his young men with him and isaac his son and he split wood for the burnt offering and arose and went to the place of which god had told him and they're walking towards moriah and on the third day he sees the place in the distance and he stops and he says isaac you stay with me you guys you can you can you can just drop off you can do whatever you want to do now but you're not coming with us it's just me and isaac now so they're going on and isaac along the way is looking around and he notices that there's a flaw in the plan and the flaw is that they've got the wood they've got the means to start a fire got me and he's got him but we don't have a sacrifice we have no animal are we sacrificing the donkey is that what we're going to sacrifice because that's not exactly what we do and so he's looking around and saying there's no blood sacrifice and he says don't worry son the lord will provide in the whole time they're walking together you know that he's leading his son and in his head he's scared to look back because if he looks into the eyes of his promise he's going to know that he'll be gone in just a few hours and he's thinking about that day when those visitors came into their home and they said your wife is going to bear a son the promised son that god said that you're going to have and he's thinking that day and remembering how he was struck by unbelief and saying i have no idea how that's even possible i'm already old and i'm imagining that he's leading isaac and he's probably a little bit slow and feeble by this point but the whole time he's thinking what am i going to tell sarah take my son and i return home and she says where is isaac and i have to tell her that god demanded our promise as a sacrifice how how am i going to tell her this and over and over he's thinking again in his head i don't know how to why why am i doing this why does my god who's been so faithful to me why is he asking me to do this he told me that this is part of my promise why why would he tell me to get rid of this my son my son the whole time you know his heart was breaking and my imagination goes away you know kind of gets off the rails a little bit and you can imagine him trying to reach up and wipe away a tear without isaac noticing because he's wondering where is the sacrifice and he builds this altar when he reaches the place and he says son go ahead and you know he's thinking can we hit a note and make the sub rattle just for a moment he's got his son the sacrifice the promise on the altar and he raises his hand and you know in his mind he's thinking he's i love you son would y'all throw verse 12 up for me an angel speaks and says do not stretch out your hand against the lad and do nothing to him for now i know that you fear god since you have not withheld your son your only son from me go ahead next slide then abraham raised his eyes and looked and behold and behind him a ram caught in the thicket by his horns and abraham went and took the ram and offered him up for a burnt offering on the place of his son and he's able to pick him up to say son i thought that you were going to be the thing that god took away from me today but now we get to sacrifice together the promise is going to be with me but god for a moment said what is it worth to you to obey me completely you can go away then the angel the lord called to abraham a second time from heaven and said by myself i have sworn declares the lord because you have done this thing and have not withheld your son your only son indeed i will greatly bless you and i will greatly multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens and as the sand which is on the sea shore in your seat shall possess the gate of their enemies in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed because you have obeyed my voice god does not want you to have to sacrifice the promises that he has given to you but what he still wants to know is am i the most important thing to you am i the most important thing in your life and if you say that it is what will you do to make me believe you how far are you willing to go first samuel 15 says to obey is better than sacrifice so what does he want from you what does he want you to obey he wants your obedience he wants your worship he wants your prayers he's not satisfied with being important he has to be most important and if he's most important than when you give a sacrifice a praise of worship of prayer a financial whatever it might be every sacrifice has to be an able kind of offering luke 14 and 26 if anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters yes even his own life he cannot be my disciple whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple he's not telling you to hate your family he wants to know are they willing to give up that which they value the most or when the time comes will they be be like the rich young ruler who came to jesus and said i follow all the commandments and he said take it all everything you own give it up sell it and follow after me and he went away sad because he got called out because he knew that there was one thing he was not willing to part with i can give you everything but not that i can give you everything but i'm having difficulty trusting you with this i can give you everything but when my child comes and says i think i've been called to be a missionary and say not that i can give you everything but when the time comes to praise and worship i'll let somebody else carry that burden for me i'm not sacrificing my pride like that not like that person not like the one making a fool of himself down at the front not like that god anytime you say yes but we are giving a cane kind of offering it comes with a stipulation that says i'll give you most of me but there's something i'm reserving for myself that is the mindset of a christian who is not completely bought in they might look like it from the outside but in really there's a part of themselves that is it's reserved only for them them and only them it's a cain kind of offering but does anybody here truly want to know how to approach god with an able kind of offering you have to be willing to say god i don't understand it right now but i'm going to give you my everything i don't know how to trust you in this storm not this one but i'm willing to say it and do it and give you and surrender unto you my will and my thoughts search my heart god show me what i'm clinging to right now it's an able kind of offering an able kind of offering says i'm not going to bow to the pressure that comes from my own will i'm going to give god everything but the american church is a church that reserves at least something anybody else here worried about inflation just me some of y'all are lying right now obedience is better than sacrifice so if obedience would be to say yes i'll admit i am worried about inflation right now i'm worried about the conflict between everybody not some people everybody everybody's at each other's throats i'm worried about what's happening i'm worried about this i'm worried about that and we come into church and we've got that part of our brain locked away for a few hours but god said i still want that because when you come to god and you say i'm terrified of everything but i'll put it aside and worship you for a little while he says no no no bring that into my home lay it down at the altar and give me that part of you his way and when you do that it becomes an able kind of sacrifice it's not saying god i'll give you some of it but god i'm gonna give you all of it some of you have not felt free to worship in years it's because there's something that still remains something that is under the surface something that we think belongs to ourself but god says no i still want that part of you right now go ahead and trust me even with that god i want to give you an able kind of offering i'm coming to a close if you're here today the reason that you're here is because you have determined that this morning this day belongs to god you've given it over to god but i have to remind you of something we think of the weekend and the weekend means friday night saturday sunday friday saturday sunday that's my weekend it's three days two and a half that's my weekend forgetting that all you have to do to realize that that's absolutely not true is to open up your calendar and read what that first day of the week is it's not it's not monday it's sunday it's not the weekend it is a new beginning so let me say it this way don't give sunday what you have left after the week give sunday your first fruits and then you begin to give an able kind of offering cain didn't come to the altar empty-handed but he did come half-hearted because so much of himself had drained out and left him but abel said i'm coming to you right now to give you my first fruits to give you the depths of my heart and of my soul i'm giving you everything it's an able kind of offering if anybody in here wants to give god an able kind of offering the first step is to rise to your feet to clap your hands and give god the worship that he desires [Music] and you might say i don't know if i trust him like that that's okay but i promise you you can get to that place all you've got to do is put one step in front of the other over and over again until you find yourself standing over your promise and saying god even if this is what it takes i give it to you [Applause] enable kind of offering an able kind of offering never worries about who's beating us to lunch an able kind of offering won't glance up to that screen as i have about 13 times this sermon to see exactly what time in his enable kind of offering is saying i'm going to lead my children to the place of sacrifice and they're going to see that i'm willing to give everything i'm not telling you to tell your child you're sacrificing them at the altar what i'm telling is that that thing that you keep precious for yourself you give that to god or else we're given a cane kind of offering god wants us to lead the way we're not limping into eternity but we're marching forward with a sacrifice in our hands and saying this is the day that the lord has made i will rejoice and be glad in it somebody begin to bring an able offering to the front as quick as you can and you don't let the musicians and the singers give an able offering for you you give it to god yourself you lift your hands as high as you can and you start to profess your love profess your obedience profess your willingness to give god everything jesus what we've kept for ourselves i pray that you would help us right now if there's somebody that's been saying i don't know if i want to do this right now but you say it's time to be baptized in the name of jesus christ then today is the day if you say i've needed the holy ghost but i don't know how to pursue it today is the day somebody give him an able kind of offering night now lift up your voice lift up your hands crying to the lord i want you to speak out loud that thing that you have kept for yourself and say god i've not trusted you with it right now but i'm starting at this very moment putting it back into your hands and letting you speak peace in life right now somebody crying to god somebody crying to god with your voice [Music] [Music] dean if we have those lyrics on the computer let's put those up i will give you all because we're about to sing these words together but we're about to give them up as an offering to god is [Music] is [Music] [Music] [Music] my very best [Music] offering this morning by singing those words out loud [Music] if my sacrifice [Music] now sing it again just like that with your hands raised to heaven and surrendering your heart [Music] give my sacrifice [Music] let me remember [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] i feel led to do something real quick [Music] y'all have heard me come up here before and you've heard guest ministers come up here before and we've prayed and said is there anybody just close your eyes bow your heads and if there's anybody dealing with anxiety or depression would you raise your hand and people raise their hand and we minister to them i don't feel led to do that right now i feel led to ask something else we're gonna close our eyes again if you would bow your head nobody looking around not if you're dealing with depression and anxiety if you have been dealing [Music] with frustration and anger and worry in this time that we are living and you felt that frustration changing your moods and making your days worse would you raise your hands that's what i thought no looking around no looking around keep your eyes closed thank you for raising them you can lower your hands now so what we're going to do is in the same way that we release depression and anxiety we are going to release anger and frustration enrage against your brothers your sisters your family your friends your co-workers the people that you see on the news the people that disagree with you people that might even agree with you and you're like i'm just mad at everybody right now we're lifting up our hands and surrender and giving those same emotions in those same burdens to god right now let's raise our hands across this house i believe that god wants us to release this part of our hearts to him so that he can have a perfect peace sweep over your home over your minds and over your future god needs us for this end time revival it's not a time to hold on to anything god we give it to you right now every individual that has felt contained and frustrated and worried about this world around and everything that's happening god we collectively give it to you right now i want you to do that i want you to say god i give it to you god i give it to you it's not mine anymore i'm laying it down at your feet somebody needs to say these words not quietly but loudly god i trust you [Music] jesus i trust you [Music] holy ghost bring peace to your people in this age [Music] we give you an evil kind of offering this morning god we give you ourselves we give you everything in the name of jesus christ we pray [Music] as we prepare those who are going to be baptized this morning let's take them up there [Music] [Music] this i've got to say this right now i do believe that god reminded me of the scripture and a message that i heard years ago from brother mike williams of apopka florida [Music] all of this tension and frustration and anger that we feel kind of coming up all the time it's not just an issue it has a direct correlation with what brother neal spoke about this morning you say prove it easily revelation 21-8 but the fearful and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and whoremongers and sorcerers and idolaters and liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth the fire and brimstone which is the second death if what you're consuming in your life brings you to a place of fear of rage of unbelief and doubt about how we'll get through this [Music] if it's leading you to this place then the next place it leads after that is far worse and it is absolutely a take your own eye kind of situation so how am i saying this and some of you again i'm just trying to tell you right now we're trying to get to an able offering amen ooh about 10 amen yeah that's a little better if we want to get rid of that the bible says for him that knows to do right and does it not for him it's a sin so in other words if you know the source of your fear and you do nothing about it you have reached a place of sin even before taking account the fear in the first place so if the root of your fear is everything that you see around you stop looking at it i'll be very clear about it if watching the news five hours a day makes you angry all the time stop it and get into the word of god and remember that there is a piece that passes all understanding and it's not found on cable news it's not found on the internet it's not found in any of those places it's found in the perfect peace of god we are asking for the holy ghost to usher in peace into his people let's start thinking about it and knowing how to bring an able kind of offering to god let's clap our hands one more time and shout with a voice of triumph [Applause] in a few moments we're going to baptize some people and we're going to rejoice along with the angels but for right now i want you to look around at somebody and say i want to be an able i want to be an able [Music] [Music] i'll [Music] is [Music] is so [Music] [Music] you
