Christmas message next weekend and then a Christmas program the following weekend and then our New Year's praise party and I've already heard from God concerning the series that I'm gonna be teaching I came in and told Davide and I don't know who else was in there Tim Sommers I think was in there I told him this is what God has given me and I'll be sharing that with you next weekend what I'm gonna be preaching the new year and I'm excited about it but today I was selecting God what if there was one thing to say we've talked about saying yes to God we've talked about how I'm trying to remember all of them now Oh last time I was up here I talked about having the right why and I shared with you how I look at a picture of my kids when I think about the church that I want them to grow up in and the God that I want them to know and that helps me as I'm giving like well I invest in them playing baseball none of them are going pro I just figured that out early but if I can get them ready to live this life with the assurance of Jesus Christ and know their identity in him that's something and so we talked about that I have a hard time often choosing between different messages I'll usually prepare three and then pick one on Saturday that's how I do it it's probably the dumbest way in the world to do it but that's what I do I had one on Mary because I thought well she made herself available and God didn't even ask her permission just showed up like you're pregnant congratulations and how she said how how will this be since I'm a virgin and we often get stuck on how but God didn't tell her how he said who the Holy Spirit will overpower you and I thought we could talk about the who which is awesome and I'll preach it one day but then I moved on I was flipping through I'm feeling that one and I said all right well how about this one with the woman that had the jars and she needed God to provide for her and she kept saying next vessel next vessel you know we're vessels of the Holy Spirit and she kept saying next vessel next vessel and when there wasn't another vessel the oil stopped flowing more oil was available but the vessels ran out and I thought we could talk about that are you the next vessel that God wants to fill then I had this one other message that was just kind of I was thinking about it and never preached his passage before and I was praying God I had three which one this has never happened before sometimes you'll hear someone say I was reading the Bible and the scripture just jumped off the page at me that didn't happen but something even crazier happened this has never happened I've been preaching since I was 16 years old instead of the scripture jumping off the page the page came out of the Bible this Bible has been put to good use and and this is the first page that ever fell out and look what the scripture was Acts 10 because I'm praying which one which one look at acts 10:21 it said I'm the one you're looking for I was like okay so this is what we're gonna talk about look at somebody and say I'm the one I'm the one I'm the one you may be seated God bless you I'm the one more specifically verse 21 Peter went to them and said to the men I'm the one you're looking for why have you come Peter went down and said to the men I'm the one you're looking for why have you come ain't it funny how you can have such confidence and uncertainty at the same time I'm the one you're looking for why have you come see the scripture has a lot to say about the power of one I used to hear preachers say if we had this whole church and it was just for one person to know Christ it would have been worth it and I do believe that but we probably wouldn't like build this big of a building if it was just the one we could probably meet up somewhere a little bit more logically suited to the one-on-one relationship this is a place where thousands get touched but God is still about the one I can even tell us sometimes when I'm preaching I can look around and go God probably gave you this part of the message for them and it's weird don't be freaked out about it I promise you I don't have some kind of spooky powers or anything you can just tell sometime like that's what they needed somebody say I'm the one I'm the one and Peter of course Jesus had 12 disciples 11 after Judas was kind of moved on but transitioned you know was transferred but Peter was that one there's always the one Peter was the one hey speak up you know he'd be like um you are the Christ the Son of the Living God he was the one who made the first confession of who Christ was he was the one he was also the one who just a few verses later was telling Jesus you don't need to go to the cross that's bad for your clout and then Jesus said get behind me Satan same one but depending on when you caught him he was either wildly obstinate or obedient and we just happened to catch him at a good time in Acts chapter 12 because he has learned the value of obedience have you have you learned the value of doing what God says even when you don't fully understand it I think that's really important as we give today many of us are giving and you start doing the math and you're like well you know I could buy this or I could buy that or and that's probably not God telling you not to give to help people but it's weird because you have to you have to learn how to discern now now in this particular passage I'm gonna tell you little bit about it Peter went down and said to the men I'm the one you're looking for why have you come I'm the one why have you come who are the men and why have they come which takes us back to what pastor Levi Lusko was sharing last weekend he talked about Dorcas that baby name is available and when he was preaching on Dorcas and he left us in Acts chapter 10 I realized this is the one this is what I need to preach about when we bring our offerings in just just a few moments because the scripture says in Acts chapter 10 verse 1 at Caesarea now that's not where Peter is Peter is in Joppa because he just raised somebody from the dead you thought you had a good week and Peter had been praying but so had somebody else and see what God is always doing he's trying to align opportunity with obedience and there are opportunities that God will give to someone who has learned to be obedient now peter has learned obedience the hard way but he's come to the point where he says I'm the one now what are we doing God you fill in the blank I'm the one where we going because he knew this was God but he didn't know the details I need you to write this down obedience is letting God set the direction even if he doesn't give you the details can I preach like I'm from Moncks Corner South Carolina Moncks corner has like four stoplights when I came to Charlotte I was lost all the time I got a TomTom GPS for my dash you don't know about the TomTom this was a prehistoric device but now they have Google Maps and maps and Waze but it always tells me turn-by-turn and then it says beneath that details if you want to see all of the turns well I never click on the details cause I can't handle the details look at somebody and say you can't handle the details I promise you can't so walking with God and listening to the Holy Spirit I've just had to learn to let him take me turn-by-turn and some of us will put a location in our GPS and trust it on our dash more than we will trust our Father in heaven come on y'all shot me down before we give in a minute it's so important that we learn that obedience is walking in a direction that God has called you to walk even when you don't understand the details so there's this man right what had happened was while Peter was praying in Joppa there was this other man who was not a Jew he was not a Christian he was what is known as a God fearer and he was also a commander of a hundred soldiers that's called a Centurion he was posted in Caesarea which is a place that the Jews hated oh they hated Caesarea it represented Roman oppression to them and there was a lot of racism back then and what God is doing in Acts chapter 10 and I believe what God is doing in this day is breaking barriers breaking barriers God if you need a church to stand up and show the world what it looks like when we come together from different backgrounds different battles look up and down your row I promise you you will see somebody that does not look like you and I'm glad about that because what God is doing in this day is killing our categories so we can't be a black church or a white church or a hispanic church or a latino Church is it Baptists is it Methodist is a Pentecostal is it nondenominational yes to all we are the one we are the church we are the living expression of the body of Christ we are the hope we are the light we are the salt we are the preservative so at Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius a Centurion in what was known as the Italian regiment he and his family were devout and god-fearing it means that they they were attracted to the Jewish ethic and even embraced some of the practices like giving alms and praying it and 9:00 a.m. or actually at sunrise and then at 3:00 p.m. and then at sunset but they weren't Jews genetically and so it gives us that background to let us know that they were devout god-fearing he gave generously to those in need and prayed to God occasionally he showed up for Ekidz every week and the color of the Ekidz shirt didn't even look good with his skin complexion he showed up to serve every week even when the temperature hit under 45 he showed up and served every week in a chat room online had to wake up in a different time zone he was devout and he was regular and he was routine you could say he was like the tithers who give at this church who just do it now one day yeah he was a regular good good good who said that he was a regular touched somebody say I'm a regular I come to church on the good weeks and the bad weeks I bless him when I when I forgot the joy and I bless them when I need some more I'm a regular ask somebody are you a regular so when you show up regularly like that one day and you never know when this is gonna be Skinner one day at about 3:00 in the afternoon he had a vision he distinctly saw an angel of God who came to him and said Cornelius and Cornelius stared at him in fear and so would you when God speaks usually your first response is going to be fear not me I walk by faith perfect love casts out fear well you never really heard God tell you to do anything when he shows you something to do and it's really him it'll be so big you will be praying a prayer of acid reflux and indigestion I always say that I love this giving series and I do when it's over but when I'm doing it I'm sitting down and I'm going alright God what should we give now Elijah we've been given in this offering since you were a baby and then some years God has really stretched us to give in in ways that were were sacrificial and then you come to another year and you're like oh I did that already it's time for somebody else to do it you're the one this time I was the one back in 2011 but then you keep on wanting to say okay god I'm I'm available you can use me you can use me and you come to this point and you feel fear but the angel answered your prayers and gifts to the poor have come up as a memorial offering before God this is sacrificial terminology like the Jewish cult system would have had it rises before the Lord and the angel answered your prayers and gets to the poor has come up as a memorial offering before God all right now you know how I said God doesn't give the details he just sets the direction listen how little Cornelius knew and this will make you feel good if you don't know how to raise your kids you don't know how to be a good husband you know what you're gonna do next in your business your career your life your college anything like that all they said was this now send men to to bring back a man named Simon who is called Peter he is staying with Simon the Tanner whose house is by the sea this is so confusing don't even get me started it's a man called imagine this conversation go get a man named Simon but they call him Peter he's staying with Simon Simon's a Tanner I know that Jews normally don't stay with Tanners because they touch dead things and it's considered ceremonially unclean and Tanners are kept on the outskirts of town so he's gonna be out of the way so we get him in an out-of-the-way place because he's staying at a house of Simon the Tanner okay so you want me to go get Simon the Tanner no I want you to go get Simon Peter you're gonna get Simon Peter the same guy but he had this thing where Jesus told him you are Simon but I call you Peter because you're the rock I'm a build my church on you're gonna be the one I'm gonna use you even though you've had some shakiness I'm gonna use you even though you've had some trouble I'm gonna use you even though you got it wrong sometimes somebody shout I'm the one I'm the one so he tells them who to go get but he doesn't tell them why the only way you find out why is to respond God doesn't show you the reason until you respond and then you understand in reverse why God did what he did and then you get to help somebody out of your own pain and you realize maybe that was why or you're stronger and you find out that you have character you didn't even know until the storm shook away all that shaky stuff and now you know why I had to go through it so I could see that my foundation was on the rock but you do not know why God does not give reasons to people who do not respond so when the angel who had spoke to him had gone verse 7 notice it is not what God says to you that sets the direction for your life it is what you do with what God says to you after the angel who spoke to him had gone Cornelius called two of his servants and a devout soldier who was one of his attendants and he told them everything that had happened I saw an angel I promise y'all I've no I didn't smoke nothing I saw an angel I'm a good God fearer and I saw an angel and he said to go to Joppa now at the but at the time that the men got there to Joppa Peter was praying when opportunity meets obedience remember up until this point the gospel has only been for the people who are within the Jewish community but that was never God's full intention when God called Abraham he said go to the land I will show you I'm a give you the direction not the details and I'm gonna bless you but the reason I'm gonna bless you is so you can be a blessing that's why God gave you your gifts your intellect your capacity so you could be a blessing that's the real reason that's the why but it takes time to realize why at first you think it's for you and then you realize that God really just made you a vessel for what he wants to bring into the world but Peter look at this how God aligns things as the men are coming to Joppa verse 9 about noon the following day that's not even a scheduled time of prayer his sunrise 3:00 p.m. and then sunset Peters getting in a little extra prayer he wants to get in a little extra prayer and he's praying on the roof so he can catch the breeze it's a good place to pray so he can get out altitude he goes up to Simon the Tanners roof in Joppa and they were on their journey and he went up on the roof to pray and he became hungry and wanted something to eat and while the meal was being prepared he fell into a trance and he saw heaven open and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners it contained all kinds of four-footed animals as well as reptiles of the earth and birds of the air then a voice told him when he was in the position to pray when he was when he was set apart when he when he was above just you know the everyday affairs of life and just seeking God like like we came to see God today and he was up there and he saw something and it looked crazy to him didn't make sense to him because it had reptiles birds pigs Peter's a good Jew and he's not he's not eating pork chops for lunch because he's not supposed to but he hears the voice from heaven say something in verse 13 get up Peter kill and eat and then Peter still kind of stubborn you know surely not Lord Peter replied how are you gonna tell him no and call him Lord come on no Lord no to your will into your ways that's the remix that's the Peter remix no Lord I know better well I'm supposed to do than you do I have never eaten anything impure or unclean the voice spoke to him a second time how many are grateful God will give you a second chance yeah third chance any fourth chance people fifth chance six chance do I have a seventh chance go ahead and praise him if he gave you an everlasting chance and every time you need him he speaks and every time you need him he comes he said do not call anything impure that God has made clean stop thinking you know better than God stop trying to live your life by reason and receive the revelation because God's trying to show him I'm a barrier breaker I want to break the barriers of what you thought was possible this is a barrier breaking weekend so that everything that God is can get into your house in your life and our community the literal translation here is stop considering it common Peter thought certain animals were clean certain were unclean certain people were common the Jewish people were uncommon God said I want to bless the whole earth through you I want to do something bigger then your little mind can comprehend this happened three times verse 16 and immediately the sheep was taken back to heaven while Peter was wondering about the meaning of the vision the men sent by Cornelius found out where Simon's house was and stopped at the gate they called out asking if Simon who was known as Peter was staying there Simon there yeah this is his house no not that one the one they call Peter oh yeah he's on the roof they don't know he's on the verge of hallucination he is somewhere between losing his mind and hearing from God and he doesn't know which one yet while Peter verse 19 was still thinking about the vision the spirit said to him Simon three men are looking for you so get up go downstairs do not hesitate to go with them for I have sent them verse 21 this the one that came out my Bible so I could preach it to you Peter went down and said to the man I'm the one you're looking for why have you come well he's about to find out why because he's gonna go back with these men to Cornelius's house cornelius has an EFAM house for watch party gathered in Caesarea and when Peter gets there Cornelius has enough faith to be like say whatever you want Peter did not know that until he went and here's what I want you to know the gospel went to the Gentiles how many Gentiles we got in the house the gospel came to you because Peter obeyed the voice from God but you don't know why until you respond you don't know why and knowing that God has chosen you is difficult because you have to know that you're chosen even when you're uncertain you have to know that you're chosen even when you feel incompetent you got to know that you're chosen even when you don't like how God is using you never Lord I will never eat unclean animals it's not about the animals dummy it's about the gospel it's not about the bacon it's about the barriers that God wants to break can I tell you something about the offering it's not about the money it's about your heart it's about what God wants to do through you that's why y'all come on up here we got to do this quick but clap your hands these are these are five there's five I think I like how much I'll trust me y'all just clap for people before you even know they are theirs there's five I set this up earlier this week I said I want before we give our offering I want five why's five people or families to say here's my why when you find the why the what isn't a problem when you find the why you can trust God with the how and the where and the when when you find the why and I held up that little picture frame a couple weeks ago and I shared with you a little bit about my why but there are thousands of people including these behind me that represents so many of you in the room who give like this regularly weekly monthly yearly in this offering and I just want them to take a moment and share one minute each it's gonna be a Showtime at the Apollo hook bring you off the stage if you go over a minute Hector but this is this is just in one minute why I give and I think your faith will be built as you find your why and think about your act of worship today but give I know you can't tell all of it but just give one minute of your why in 2013 we were living in California and came across elevation online and we were instantly drawn to the ministry and the impact it was having on people all over a couple years later we came to a crossroads in our marriage and we were both sure our marriage was over we but we both agreed if our marriage had a chance to survive we knew we needed to get to Charlotte we both grew up as PK's but that didn't make us immune to the struggles we faced in our marriage once we arrived in Charlotte with our four kids we immediately felt God prompting us to not just tithe like we've done in the past but to give above and beyond to God in this new season if we want it to experience something new in our lives and in our marriage God stretched us financially and personally it wasn't easy there were times our finances were down and we questioned if we would move past the difficult days but God challenged us to keep the sacrifice high we learned that the more obedient we were the more we saw God blessing us God has blessed my career finances but above that we have seen God's blessings by renewing our marriage seeing seeing our kids experience God in the new and more personal way and watching lives transform right in front of us every week this past April we celebrated 20 years of marriage oh you're done I wanted you to keep going he said we moved to Charlotte to be a part you know that's just amazing people will move to a city for a job move to a city for a climate but to really prioritize God in that way and and now not just people moving anyway I gotta shut up all right let's move on to to Jason and Susan elevation church felt so big back in 2008 when we visited Providence for the first time but we loved it we soon found ourselves there every weekend initially thought it was was so big that surely our little contributions wouldn't make a difference then when Sunday and December a group of people came out on stage holding cards one side had a word representing a struggle or pain they had gone through the other word representing how God had overcome that battle when I remember in particular is a woman that had written infertility and then the name of her child that one moment impacted me so much because I miscarried the previous December and was struggling with infertility that year as a result of that moment we then realized how God is changing people's lives at our church and we wanted to give we believe God was just getting started and have been tithing ever since however at the same time we still had a private pain of infertility after our miscarriage and many failed infertility treatments we still had faith in God but when I turned 43 we then started to lose hope after trying for six years we have finally stopped believing we'd ever have a child of our own and had started trying to accept this it was then at reflect that same year in 2018 that God broke me down to start believing for our family again then in December at game changer we both felt we should write the word miracle on January 1st for no real reason I took a pregnancy test I was shocked it was positive Savannah's Faith was born September 4th 2019 we are forever grateful to God for our game-changer miracle which we call her game-changer miracle we give to God at elevation because we know God is changing lives at our church and does preform miracles unbelievable you got to give Flo the mic now y'all know Flo I give because two years ago I lost my husband due to a heart attack and my church was there for me the news that my husband was gone was paralyzing and all I could remember is just sitting in the hospital parking lot and I didn't know how to drive back home to a place where I would never see him again it was in that moment that God used our very own pastor Stephen his sermon about GPS to give me enough strength to put the car in drive he said wherever you go God has gone before you and every day since I've experienced that truth and he has done so much of it through my UC family UC the support I received was overwhelming they not only showed up emotionally and spiritually but financially as well probably the area where God has shown up the most has been in my son little Omar the summer after my husband's passing I sent little O to YTHX thinking that being with his friends would help him to process the loss of his father but God did so much more than that because he came home with an orange Bible after giving his life to Christ and even more than that he made a decision to get baptized in September so I give to my church so that we can continue to give hopes to families who are going through the same unbearable pain she said the orange Bible I don't know if you know this we just crossed over for people who have raised their hands to give their life to Christ just in our physical locations over 100,000 of those Bibles that we've given out in the lifetime of the ministry amazing you better keep living for Jesus Omar I'ma come chop you down you're taller than me but I can benchpress you man of God they got one person on skype from the United Kingdom I have no idea how to pronounce her name I'm gonna let her do that but thought you needed to see us just beyond the walls of of what God is doing but go ahead and introduce yourself and share and share why no not the United Kingdom my name is Nubuke United Kingdom but from Ghana oh that's so confusing I must tell you just stretch your hand toward the sky I think I'm on now you're on okay my name is Nubuke I struggled in my life to feel like I had a real connection to God it was a constant searching for someone who in theory I knew was real but couldn't feel in the lots of the spaces I was in more so I long for a community to share it with so when her friends shared a sermon link with me in college I didn't know it would be one of the most important clicks of my life the sermons were amazing and the worship had me in tears but it was the online community that kept me coming back each week to think I could be a possible elevation from the UK was crazy but it was actually happening I started tithing and decided to lead an a group and that's when it really flipped God showed me that the thing I longed for community and actually create for myself by being that for someone else I give because this is my family and I want people around the world to find their home just like I did Nubuke Nubuke yeah did I Nubuke scale from one to ten how'd I do a terrible one let's get it right no Nubuke Nubuke okay Nubuke Nubuke Nubuke come on let's give it up for our EFAM we love you I'll see you in a couple hours when we do this again all right Jim and Libby have been with me forever why do you give having moved over 20 times with Jim's career since being married we knew all along it was God's hand guiding our steps in each place he led us we placed ourselves in the local church where we could be fed and also serve although I always felt inclined in my heart towards living generously I didn't grow up with a biblical understanding of the tithe but everything we have belongs to God already and that we are called to give back to him through the church early on in our marriage we made the decision that we would give in whatever way God enabled us to the church that we were a part of we've been so blessed to be a part of many churches around the world each of which God has used in our lives when we retired and I like to say Jim says that words not in the Bible we moved to Charlotte we had no idea that we would end up in a church like elevation elevation though has been our church home since 2010 and it's been a privilege for us to continue to give towards the work that God is doing here we never grow tired of seeing people fall in love with Jesus and being a part of helping them grow in their faith so I don't know if you remember telling me this Libby one time she told me if you ever see me in my sermon in your sermon and I look like I'm not paying attention I'm praying for you she said sometimes I just pray for you do you remember telling me that and she is like just just want to make sure you don't think I'm bored sleeping I'm praying for you that God would use you as a vessel and yet the crazy thing about it is it's not lectures or music that God uses to touch lives it is the faithfulness of thousands of people who now believe that I'm the one I'm the one God if you want to use me you can use me I'm the one and each of you shared beautifully why you give from your perspective but I want to give you one more perspective real quick of why you give something that you can't fit in a picture frame if you either came to faith in Christ through this ministry or reconnected your faith in Christ through this ministry at every location I want you to stand for a moment so I want you to see why you see that Omar stay standing stay standing if somebody in your family or somebody that you loved came to Christ or came back to Christ through this ministry join them on your feet that's why if you were ever going through a season of depression that was dark in your life and God used the Ministry of this church to get you through that season like oxygen for your soul stand up on your feet and that's why
