Keith Moore Seeing Jesus Pt 6 John 2 Part 2

guys for that good singing and playing y'all can be seated if you weren't turning your Bible with me this morning to John 14 if you didn't bring a Bible the ushers have extra Bibles would be glad to let you use one of ours raise your hand if you didn't bring one and take the time turn with us to these verses let your eyes rest on them it'll just help you so much more get in you better remind yourself that these are not the words of men but they're the words of God in their life giving life-changing truths John 14 thank you master everybody happy we ought to be we're saved and if you're not you can change that this morning John 14 and verse 21 Jesus said read letters he that has my Commandments and keeps them he it is that loves me who is it that loves the Lord you know he said in another place he said why do you call me Lord Lord and don't do what I say so we know it's not just just words that reveal people's love for the Lord he said let us meaning first Johnny talked about let us not just love in word but in deed and in truth just because you say you love the Lord doesn't mean you do just because you say it loud and a lot and cry why you say it doesn't mean you do there with me that you can weep profusely and holler I love the Lord I love the Lord I love the Lord and that doesn't mean you do I think this has been a point of confusion because people have thought that's all it is to it just I love the Lord now how do you know someone loves the Lord including yourself those that keep that have his Commandments and keep them he said he is that loves me he that loves me should be loved of my father and I will love him and will manifest myself to him Oh glory to God Judas said to him not Judas Iscariot different Judas Lord how is it that you will manifest yourself to us and not to the world he said how you gonna do that and he answered him and he said to him if a man love me he's really already said it hadn't it he's telling him again if a man loves me he will keep my words and my father will love him and we will come to him that means you don't have to try to find God will come to him and move in with him and stay with him who Oh glory to God are you as excited about this passage as I I am just at a loss of words about this truth here what do you mean well the more I learn about the Lord and the longer I go in this thing the more I taste and see how good he is the more it burns in me that I want to know more of him I want to see I want to know him it's always though it's always been that way it'll always be that way Moses saw some things of the glory of God he got close to the glory of God and he saw and heard some things of the glory of God and what did it do to him Oh manage it a little fire in him until he got to the place for one day he cried out he said God show me your glory I want to see you I want to see more of you I want to see the rest of you I want to see fall in your face I want to see you God said well you can't you can't see full in my face you'll die but I tell you what I'll do any good there's a place where I can put you and I'll put my hand over you so you don't see too much did you hear that now so that you don't see too much and then I'll let you see some of my back parts and that was enough to keep him shouting for a long long time wasn't it anybody that is unconcerned and doesn't care about seeing the Lord are people that don't know him because if you have met him and you have some even a tiny bit of experience with him there is universally the same now you won't more you want to see more of him because there just is nothing that compares with him nothing nothing nothing and so any and everybody that knows anything about him they have it in their heart they want to see and experience and no more of him with a another way I've said that is we want him to manifest himself our that's a more of a word that's not used as much today we want him to show himself to us uncover himself and let us see him now God is is a God who reveals himself the scripture also says he's a God who hides himself I know that sounds strange to some folks but both are true and that's what Judas not Judas Iscariot but a different one is saying Lord how you gonna do that I mean if you manifest yourself won't everybody see he said now if a person loves me they will treasure what I say and they will keep it and they'll do it and those ones my father and I will come to and I will manifest myself to him many people maybe their desire is right they want to see in no more of God but they're going about it the wrong way they're just begging god oh god I want to see you oh god I want to know you we talked last week about desperation oh god I'm so hungry for you oh god I need you so much I need it's not faith in every area of life beware of that phrase we need more money we got to have this I need a healing I need this well how many times you need to say that to establish that you need something hmm you saying you need it puts you no closer to it in fact it just increases your awareness of your need there's no faith in saying I need something y'all hear me now monitor yourself watch what you're saying watch what you're doing and what those people are praying this and don't realize they're just staying in the realm of walking by sight and I need all God I need well how many times you need to tell him that you knew that you needed didn't in the Bible say he knows what you need before you ask him well it's not that he needed you to inform him another thousand times oh god I need it oh god I needed oh god I got to have it he's wanting to hear something else he's willing to hear something else besides I need I won't I've got to have anybody walking my site can say that day after day takes no faith at all but he said if we would keep his words we don't have to clamor and say oh god show yourself Oh God show up in our services Oh God manifest yourself in our midst Oh God we need your presence Oh God we want your presence isn't them laughing there that's that that's the bulk of praying of most of the church Oh God we need did he tell us to pray that way do you know anywhere in the Bible and the New Testament particularly where he told us to pray that way and beg him for his presence and be desperate he told us to desire it to be hungry but we don't have to go looking for ways to motivate him to reveal himself to us he's told us exactly how to get him to manifest himself to us didn't he how do you do it keep his words keep his words keep his words do what he said put it up on the screen again in the amplified in the amplified that uh 21st verse the person who has my commands and keeps them is the one who really loves me and whoever really loves me will be loved by my father and I too will love him and we'll show myself to him reveal myself to him manifest my did the Lord say he would reveal itself to you come on did he say he would manifest it he would show himself to you is there anything more important they go there prefer goes on to say I will let myself be clearly seen by him and make myself real to him Oh glory to God can God be more real to you than he is right now oh yes he can yes he can he can reveal his presence to you so strong he can be much much more real to you than he is right now do we care about that do we want that then let's not go into the begging mode for it let's do what he said to get it hallelujah this is talking about faith if everybody on the planet saw God for who and what he really is there would be no unbelievers or skeptics on the planet in a moment of time everybody would bow the knee before him and confess allegiance to him whether out of fear just seeing how awesome he is our a desire to get some benefit from him just seeing how what he has and what he can do for us but God has purposely not revealed himself to the whole world because if everybody just saw him and knew him love wouldn't be involved right it's like people that are super super rich and single huh a lot of times they they've learned not to tell people who they are and what all they've got lest they not know whether the person really cares about them or whether they're just trying to get what they have well how much more of this would be the case with God who has everything and is everything and can do including eternal life everything so he set it up such that we have a short life span and we come into the world and things are such that you have to choose whether you believe him or not and you have to serve Him by faith not seeing and knowing fully who he is and what he is but if you do you qualify we have a few years down here to prove we believe him even though we don't seem to prove we love him even though we don't see and know all about him and that faith qualifies us it not only qualifies us to be in his family later it qualifies us to see him in a measure now a friend this is better preaching than then you're a minute am I am I reading this right the person who will be without seeing and without knowing will take the Word of God and love it and practice it even though they don't see and fill everything they ditch do it by faith they have proven they love and believe in God and he has a right to manifest himself to you in varying degrees here and now here and now here and now here and now and they're just nothing in this life more important I'm more exciting more exhilarating more amazing you ever had God get in the chair with you if you don't know what I'm talking about then maybe not let me say what do you mean the Holy Spirit can get in the chair with you he can get in the car with you now he's everywhere all the time and the Bible said he'll never leave you nor forsake you he's there but he's not always in the same measure degree of manifestation he's in you but he can come on you I mean if I came and got in the chair with you you'd know it wouldn't you you'd go wow brother key signature with me you'd know it wouldn't you it'd be real to you the Holy Spirit can get in the chair with you I remember as a boy in grandmother's Blue Room the cold room but you had to have five quilts remember that you know you didn't have a central heating all that stuff they just that just pile quilts on you too you couldn't even turn and boy you sure didn't want to get out from under there in the early morning when they got time together but I gave me a book to read she was a great believer secretary and treasurer of the Pentecostal church the first one in that area in community and for decades and decades and decades and she gave me a book about a man of God and about some amazing things that had happened and I couldn't have been all that old eight or ten something like that and I'm reading this book and it was about the glory of God and about a prophet of God and about boy being raised from the dead and and and it was real it was it was actual things that had happened and I'm telling you while I was reading that book in that cold room the Holy Ghost come got in the bed with me oh wow I mean this is years ago but I mean it's real to me as I'm telling you about it right now I mean he come got into bed with me and I I cried and I praised God I wasn't scared or worried but I just I hardly knew what to do with myself he he I thought God's here God's in the room with me we'll see as I was reading that I begin to believe for the first time some things as a boy I begin to believe I begin to be willing to do something that he would say he saw an opportunity and a right to manifest himself to me oh come on can you see this there's been numerous times and places in ways since then but what can you and I do to initiate him showing himself and making himself real to us keep his words and we've talked about this before what does that mean keep it means to court you know you're gonna hear them a you're gonna remember them you're gonna treasure them and value them and you are going to do them so we've begun on a study in the Gospel of John all of his words the whole Bible are his words and they're all precious we want to be doers of all of them of course that would be quite an extensive study I mean this one itself is turning out to be substantial but that's alright if we stayed on this for a year or two you know of anything better so I mean the words of Jesus how much more important does that get so go with me to John 2 and let's continue in looking at his words asking ourselves the question do we understand what he said to us are we doing it his words to us are not suggestions they're not supplemental right they're mandatory they're commands he's our Lord so whatever he says we want to make up our mind already before we even hear it and know it we must do it we want to do it John - we were talking about last week you remember what we're talking about somebody said parties that's right that's exactly right Jesus went to parties and drank wine and ate rich food he was criticized for it by the religious leaders wasn't he he was called a a wine-bibber and the glutton we're told much the head of the church oh boy you should see some of the looks I'm getting across it I'm quoting scripture friend have you read the word and the first miracle in his ministry was not to heal a sick person are to deliver a demoniac but supply a party with wine what should we learn from that well draw your own conclusions but see how it applies day to day in your life but you know there is a danger in getting too stuffy there's a whole lot of people have left the impression that when you give your life to the Lord your fun is over and there's a whole lot of people that would never you know they don't come near the door of a church and they don't even consider being a Christian because they have relatives that are and they think you've being a believer is being like them they don't want any part of it because they're unhappy people they're judgmental and they don't do anything they don't have any fun but it's not what the Bible teaches it's not how Jesus lived it's not right sin and fun are not the same thing right no so beware of being judgmental or being critical and being you know frowning you should be the life of the party you should be happy you should be showing people how to party correctly without sin show people how to have a truly have a good time he that's right sometimes people are so shocked I know uh years ago I got a new a sports car and the Phyllis and I were somewhere and we pulled up in this place in it to get gas and I came in there was this young girl behind the counter and she said oh man that's a fine car that's a fine car I said yeah I'm really thankful for it she said you're thankful for it I said yeah she said what do you do I said I'm a preacher she said no way I wasn't dressed in a suit and tie you know and Phyllis largest start having fun and she said nah you just you just joshing me you just missing me she said I think maybe you sell drugs but think about it she thinks if you're gonna have something nice if you're gonna have any cool about you you got to be a sinner got to be a drug dealer or something right this is the universal I did you know that if you're a preacher you are poverty-stricken and probably a coward I'm serious a beggar and a coward I mean all the old westerns you know the preachers crawled under the wagons with the women while the real men got the guns out and defended the people yellow-bellied sickman there has never been a greater man of courage than Jesus there's never been anybody that knew had a more foot have more fun than Jesus think about little kids loved him he just coming in the room and all the kids mob him that tells you volumes little kids don't mob sourpusses fuddy-duddies stiff cold people now do they know somebody that's hauling every other breath that's a sin that's a sin sin see him that's a sin to sin sin sin sin sin little kids do not mob people like that Jesus could just walk through a place and the kids would mob him by the scores just mobbing in fact the disciples thought he can't do anything with all his kids hanging on him so they come pealing the kids off of him and he says leave him alone leave him alone why he was fun to be around is this the picture the church has painted no jesus was fun to be around you ought to be fun to be around I ought to be fun to be around right fun to be around I'm checking soon if you believe this I'm looking at this would be a bad time to sit here like bad time to do that if we haven't been everything we could be in these areas that we can change God can help us we can change you don't have to be sinful to have fun and have life have parties glory to God well we're still in chapter 2 skip on down to verse 11 this beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee and did what did what manifested what does the word manifest mean show revealed make real - he showed them he made real - he uncovered his glory they saw his glory now let's come back do we see the principle of our text in that passage when and how did they see the glory what did Jesus mother say to him whatever he says to you do it did it take faith we already talked about it there in the party clothes they got the hair comb it smell good and they gotta go out there and haul water from the well for hours and get sweaty and why why they don't need water they got plenty of water to party why why keeps you from the miraculous why can cut you off from the blessing of God why didn't ask why they just did it and those that love him will keep his words right they'll treasure them they'll remember them and they'll do them and those that do them come on help me out those that do them he will show himself to them did they see the glory of God when he did this miracle and the water was turned into wine yeah you talked about having a party they just thought they were having a party till this thing happened come on put yourself give the disciples now the Lord told him after they fill up the water pots he said take some out and take it to the governor of the feast and they brought it to him of course it took faith to do that and he took a big swig of it and he looked at him at that now most people put out their good one at the beginning of the party and then when people begin to get you know a little less discriminating oh I didn't put this story in here now okay they put out the bad stuff the junk stuff the sour stuff the cheap stuff but you have reserved the very best stuff till now and put yourself in these guys they're over there trying to fix their hair they're sweaty they're stinky now and and they look around they thought do you thought maybe they had a party right there in the corner that thought Chloe look god this is a miracle this is a miracle it swept over them they saw they experienced the glory of God they're experiencing God did that affect their life did it changed their life and it was connected with them doing what he said let's keep going this beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee manifested forth his glory and his disciples believed on him after this he went down to Capernaum he and his mother and his brothers and his disciples they continued there not many days the Jews Passover was at hand Jesus went up to Jerusalem and found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves and the changers of money sitting and when he had made a scourge of small cords he drove them all out of the temple and the sheep and the oxen and poured out the changers money and overthrew the tables Jesus is different then a lot of people think he is we see him at the party now he seemed whipping folks and kicking over tables see religion has created a Jesus the Bible does not recognize a long face pale rings under the eyes halo over the head somebody that the Bible doesn't know doesn't recognize this is a vibrant man this is a full of life man full of love man full of joy man passionate man hmm he saw this situation in here and it went all over him he's not led by his emotions but he has him did you hear me people think God is colorless what do you mean by that he sits on the throne and he's oh I mean really old he's got a long gray stringy beard and he's always the same and he is but the same what some people think that means he never smiles he never frowns he's never glad or mad or happy or sad he's just boring not true not true not true God is a whole lot like you come on now if we took two of these seats here and we hold on public say this chair is exactly like this chair but this chair is nothing like this chair doesn't work if this chair is like this chair then this chair has to be like this one and if we're made in the image of God and we're like him he has to be like us - the perversions in sin but he has to be something like us doesn't he oh we can't be like him it just doesn't work you can study if we had time we could go through and look at verse after verse God has what we might call emotions and feelings he can be grieved he can be hurt he can be mad we told my god the almighty creator of heavens and earth who sits on the throne he can rejoice he can be pleased he can be glad and he sings God sings well know what kind of notes he can hit how many like a CD of God's favorites think about it one of these days you and I are gonna be in glory and somebody will say how come I come here God's gonna sing we'll all be sitting there going and the father is gonna break out into a song wonder what that belie Quarry to God suppose she going to the concert tonight it's what who's singing God God singing angels were playing Jesus is gonna do something too I think they're gonna do a duet one time he might let us sing with him God gets happy sad glad mad all these things the Bible said be angry and what so that means getting angry angry in and of itself is not sinning if it were then God would have sinned when he got angry just having a feeling is not in and of itself sin what do you do with it where is it coming from some things you yield to some things you don't right but here's something went over Jesus he walked into this place they got all these booths animals how many animals can stink and you got all this stink in the temple and people are bartering I'll give you ten for it no I ain't taking ten it's got to be 20 haggling in the temple and I mean it went all over him they he didn't just act impulsively if you look at the other passage of scripture he saw this and just left the Bible City he made that scourge of cords well it took time to do that and while he was pondering this and making his whip he got clearance in his spirit that he was to do something and he came in there pow pow pow get out of here pow pow get birds go flying he comes and grabs their cash registers and flings them and money goes everywhere get out of here I said get out of here get this stuff out of here pow pow get these birds getting birds go flying get out of here get these cows out of here Moo POW get get out of here I mean dust is flying birds are flying people are falling over money and course if you throw a bunch of money and scattered around what used to go happen with that I mean there was some motion and movement in this place and What did he say well Mike the words of Jesus What did he say what do you say he said take these things hints are out of here and make not my father's house an House of merchandise and his disciples remembered that it was written the zeal of your house has eaten me up when you love God and people run roughshod over his holy things and treat commonly and even blaspheme and defile his holy things you are not unaffected you don't just go out oh well mmm how many know love and passion go together fervent see he was passionate about his father's things he was fervent in spirit and he expressed it when you love God and you respect him you treat his things with the proper respect don't you this is the reason why I've said some of the things I've said concerning our church in our place I've said we don't do our business at the church don't be trying to sell something at the church I'm too much trying to sell shoes are trying to sell land or trying to sell a car out in the parking lot don't do it there hmm go to the restaurant parking lot go to your house go to your business office don't don't get on the phone here in the foyer and try to make deals and close deals the the thing is the the atmosphere if you look up this word he said take these things out of here don't make my father's house a house of merchandise merchandize if you look that up the in the Greek it means a house a mart-mart ma RT / Emporium well I mean we see things all the time that are marked Kmart Wal Mart right and it's good to have K Mart's in Walmart's but not in the thing in the middle of the services of the things of God it's not time to have Walmart or blue light specials or rollback price Caesar we're not supposed to have that environment and that feel in our church and in our things of God are we it's alright to have some fun sometimes I'll say something funny Phyllis will say something funny somebody else will will laugh but it shouldn't feel like a comic place instead what I'm saying we have music we have playing we have singing and shows we're in show Ville and shows are good and fun in their place but this is not a show this is not entertainment it's supposed to have a different feel yes isn't it a different feel we're not it's not supposed to feel like an auction is it girl give me thirty who'll give me 50 100 here 100 50 100 50 hundred hundred 75 it's not supposed to have that kind of feel is it what kind of feel is it supposed to have what kind of field Luke says this jesus said this recorded in Luke he said it is written my house is the house of prayer but you have made it a den of thieves is this important to the Lord is it important to God it is in it he said a den of thieves people came to the temple to pray they came to hear the word of God they came to wait on the Lord and they had to when they got there it felt like a mall it felt like a flea market come on I felt like a garage sale it it felt like an auction felt like let's make a deal well where is the anointing of God when it feels like that friend something I designed Phyllis knife talked about this the Lord has spoken this to us when I first began this particular church that we are to excel in potala tea the Spirit of the Lord is the spirit of adoption isn't he he is the comforter the spirit of adoption makes you feel like you belong oh come on now the comforter makes you feel warm comforted friend I I you know people see me when I'm speaking and when I'm doing something else but so much of the time it's you they're sitting my it's you they're coming by in the parking lot or in the foyer somewhere else friend please please let this be in the forefront of your thinking all the time let it not be that God brings somebody across here and they're hurting or they need something and they're looking for something in God and and everybody walks past them and it feels cold let it not be ever you know be more open than reserved and closed be led but be open to the idea of taking somebody to lunch or letting them visit with you or you visit with them or taking them shopping and buying them something or you know a warmness you know following them out of town and stopping it to gas station and filling their tank of them buy them some snacks or put money in their pocket or huh and not just doing it to be doing it but expressing the love of God and the warmth come on the warmth do you have a desire also look if people pull in the parking lot they feel welcome they feel comfortable they feel like people really care whether they're there or not is this important this is extremely important you know our greeters are doing a good job our parking lot people they're doing a good job that our children's workers our Usher's they are but all of us have a part in this right people sit with you for an hour or two or three or four in a service that's a lot of time for you to be there you don't need to be sitting there talking about something you don't need to be sitting there consumed with your own needs and your own wants and they feel like nobody cared if I was there or not and it's not that they have to join the church and come here regularly they may not but they could have a wonderful experience when they came to faith Life Church in Branson Missouri come on me they could have a great experience they could say ahead I tell you what that's the friendliest box and people put money in my pocket and they just loved on me I reckon I got 300 hugs before I got out of there man they just hooked my makeup plumb off he just hugged me and hugged me I must have had 12 people offered to buy my lunch he never been treated like that this is keeping the New Testament commandment this is the love of God hospitality is an expression of this love that's one of the reasons why we're believing for Prosperity right so we can have extra to do things like this to reach out there supposed to be a a warmth in here not a cold marketplace feel but a warm rich anointed holy place can you say Amen we come here to worship God not buy and sell we come here to give glory to God we're bring our offerings to him not to barter we come in here to get fed the holy rich Word of God we come in here to find the plan of God and the will of God make changes make adjustments right it should have that feel to it every blade of grass have your spot in the parking lot every sink in the bathroom every chair right now keep reading and you'll see something that Jesus unfolded he said get these things out of here don't make my father's house a marked the flea market emporium house of merchandise the scripture said verse 18 the Jews answered and said to him what sign do you show seeing that you do these things because see they are the ones that allowed an institute of these things into in the temple they couldn't been in there without them letting it happen they're getting the cut hmm they're getting their percentage this is happening today people are hard selling I've seen it with my own eyes they're hard selling products I'm not talking about charging for a tape or a CD that can be done in a proper way just because we don't charge for them anymore doesn't mean I'm a poster that's not why I changed that but I've seen market situations that are run in churches by unbelievers and I've come to to speak for people and they try to hard sell me different tonics and different situations and different things and it's obvious why they you know they want me to come back and sell it to you as you notice I never have and the reason why is they want their cut that makes the place feel like a market and jesus said destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up he knew they weren't going to understand that and he didn't explain it to him he did it on purpose he knew they were going to think he was talking about the building they were standing in because that's the one he just ran the cows out of right that's the one that the money scattered all over the floor in the house the building he said destroy this temple in three days I'll raise it up he knew they were gonna think he's talking about the physical building and yet he did not one thing to explain it to him or try to change their minds he just left him thinking that because he knew they didn't have a heart to hear and yet he knew later on people that cared would get it his people and you and I are talking about it this morning we get it they didn't we get it somebody say I get it the Jews said 46 years it took to build this temple you go raise it up in three days but he spake of the temple of his body hallelujah we're talking about not making this church house and place a market place but this church is not the temple of God I said this church is not the temple of God is it can you give me just another minute or two here listen to these scriptures acts 748 says the most high does not dwell in temples made with hands acts 17:24 says it again he doesn't dwell in temples made with hands 1st Corinthians 3:16 says no you not that you are the temple of God and the Spirit of God dwells in you all the things that you were agreeing with just a few moments ago about us not having an auction in here it applies to the people of God not just the building come on now this building is not the house of God is something the Lord uses is certainly dedicated to his use and purposes but this building cannot never will be the temple of God or the house of God you and I we makeup and all the members and born-again ones make up the temple of the Lord and he warns us in 1st Corinthians 3 he said if you defile and destroy the temple you'll be destroyed I mean it's very serious we must not treat each other as common just like you think well yes yes we shouldn't have a bunch of livestock in here in auditorium we shouldn't get up and try to hard sell products and and do that kind of make you feel like a market and a mart apply that to people oh there's a time and place for business it's okay it's time and place for shopping you know that it's okay but apply that we're not what were they doing to the temple of God they were treating it like it was a common place come on can you see this and we must not treat each other just as common to God his people are precious we're a chosen generation a royal priesthood a rare precious people come on now and we're to see everyone no matter what denomination what group what where they're from none of that matters if they're born of God if they're the people of God we're to look at them and go treasure treasure track and isn't that what we were talking about just a few minutes ago with the hospitality why do you treat people so special because you believe they're special they are they're special they're so important to God God looks at all these children he looks at all his people and he goes precious ah precious and so when we you and I see them we should help express that yes can you say Amen go to first Corinthians 11 and we're going to receive communion this morning and you're gonna see that the Vicks act same thing that we're talking about you find in this passage 1st Corinthians 11 some things are not being mixed right we should make a difference between the holy and the common first Corinthians 11 verse 17 he said in this that I declared to you I praise you not that you come together not for the better but for the worse is it so that there are times some people have come together supposedly in the things of the Lord that have been better off not coming together at all they were worse off after they came together than before and they were calling it the things of God for first of all when you come together in the church I hear that their divisions among you and I partly believe it for there must be also heresies among you that they which are approved may be made manifest among you when you come together into one place this is to eat this is not to eat the Lord's Supper in other words what you're doing is not the Lord's Supper for an eating everyone takes before the other his own supper you're not waiting on each other one is hungry another is drunk what have you not houses to eat and drink in sea they're acting like they're at the house just eating and drinking despise you the Church of God and shame them that have not what shall I praise you in this shall I praise you what shall I say to you shall I praise you in this I praise you not and then he goes on talking about how Jesus / took of the bread and the wine and what we call the Last Supper and what we're about to do in communion what was the problem there they weren't aware of the other people that were there that were doing without right they were being gluttonous and not even aware of other people that were doing without and didn't care and they had their own little factions and they were just hanging together in their little groups and clusters and acting like they were at the house and it displeased the Lord if you read the rest of the passage you see they weren't discerning the body of Christ we are the body of Christ they weren't valuing and being aware of the body of Christ it's wonderful like we said things like part of the family going down and helping the people when all their limbs broke off in the yard that helps them naturally but you're saying when 20 people show up when you look at that big pile of stuff and go man how am I gonna do this how long is it gonna take to get this done and 20 people show up with joy asking for nothing come on now and you know they all got stuff they could be doing they got lives they got jobs they got stuff and so the natural thing gets darn but that's really the smaller part of it what's the big part the big part is people saying we love you you're important to us we care about you you're valuable and precious to us this pleases the Lord I said it pleases the Lord it's good in his eyes stand up on your feet everybody rushers come right on down
