The Refreshing Power Of The Word Of God

[Applause] thank you matthew let's pray together father we're thankful for this time to worship this time to open your word and we want to encounter you we want to hear from you so we commit this time of bible study to you now in jesus name we pray amen how many of you would like to hear another song from matthew great come tonight so grab your bible and turn it that was mean i'm sorry but uh psalm 19 is where we're at we're wrapping up our series that we're calling refresh and the final message in this series is the refreshing power of the holy spirit excuse me of the word of god um one thing i forgot to announce is i'm going to take a little break with my family and we're going to launch a new series that we're calling summer reading and this is an opportunity to hear from some of the great preachers uh in our nation right now so next sunday here at harvest orange county here at riverside in orange county we're going to have pastor jack graham come and give a message jack has a brand new book maybe we'll get a graphic up there on the screen jack has a new book called reignite that's what he's going to be speaking on which is a perfect follow-up message to a series called refresh the following sunday we'll have pastor levi lusko and so that will be fantastic and finally the third sunday we'll have pastor tony evans and it's been it's been a long time since we've had tony evans out so jack graham levi lesko tony evans great series and then we're going to launch a brand new series in the book of acts okay so this is going to be great all of our small groups will be aligned with it we already have the curriculum written the book is out and this is going to be fantastic a time to study the history of the church that changed the world and what it has to say to us today uh this series is called upside down living and re the reason we call it that is because it was said of the church of the first century they turned the world upside down these that have turned the world upside down they said have come here and by the way that was not a compliment but it really was it was a backhanded compliment and our world is so upside down right now it seems right now right is wrong wrong is right everything's being redefined we need to get back to the gospel we need to get back to being the church like it was in the first century in the 21st century and one of the things they did was they studied the apostles doctrine and that's why we encourage you to join a small group because this is a way you will dig into the bible bible more deeply than you ever have before our small groups are built around scripture and built around the series that we're teaching so what i'm teaching on sunday morning will also be taught in the small group but it's also a time to develop community friendships and much much more so that's kind of the future god willing as we see it down the road but again today i want to talk about the refreshing power of god's word let me take a quick poll how many of you are christians raise your hand if you're christian okay i thought so i figured that especially the lady that wanted the bumper sticker so badly not so sure about the cheapskate i'm kidding i know you are i know you are how many of you are growing christians you're growing chris well we should all raise our hand because we want to be constantly growing why because if we're not moving forward as a christian we're by default going backwards if we're not deepening in our relationship with the lord we actually might be in a process of going the wrong direction we're either advancing or retreating we're either stronger or weaker i read the story about a trainer who had a lot of clients who were very overweight and he couldn't really relate to it because this guy's in perfect shape he eats the right food he exercises all the time and he has clients who are 60 70 pounds overweight so as an experiment this trainer decided he was going to gain 70 pounds to see what it was like he said it was exhilarating at first because i eat anything i wanted to eat for breakfast he would have captain crunch cereal i'm not so sure about that a banana bread for a snack uh chicken alfredo pasta for dinner he just ate every fattening thing corn dogs donuts i'm by the way i'm down with everything he was eating except the captain crunch cereal i'm not a big fan of captain crutch but so this is the way he ate he said at first it was great i didn't see any difference on my body but then he said the first thing to go were the abs and then he noticed that he was craving now the bad food and no longer craving the good food not wanting to exercise his blood pressure went up he was tired all the time he found himself lethargic and depressed and so that is a man who was going the wrong direction it doesn't happen overnight when you begin to lose your grip spiritually it's a process as it was for this individual and so we have a choice before us every day we can fill our minds and hearts with wholesome food from the word of god or we can fill them with the junk food of this world you say what's the junk food pretty much all the stuff we consume our time with like well social media television bin watching binge watching x y or z or just other pursuits that become more important than the word i'm not saying you have to study the bible all day all night i'm saying you need to start the day with the word of god end the day with the word of god and begin to fill your mind and heart with the word of god that's why i'm calling it the refreshing power of the word of god this is something we all need in our life we never outgrow these principles like that trainer we have to stop doing some things eating the wrong foods start doing other things but the question is are we doing them you know i can read the bible but it doesn't mean anything if i don't obey what the bible says at the conclusion of the sermon on the mount jesus said this in matthew 7 24 whoever hears these sayings of mine and puts him into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock the rain king the streams rose the winds blew and beat against that house yet it did not fall because it had its foundation on the rock then christ goes on to say whoever hears these sayings of mine and does not put them into practice he's like a foolish man who builds his house on the sand and the rain came and the steam streams rose and it fell with a great crash look into every life storms are going to come so the question is going to be are you going to stand or fall and it all depends on what your foundation is build your life on jesus christ and the word of god that's it don't build it on your fickle emotions don't build it on other people build your life on jesus and trust in the word of god because as you read study memorize and obey scripture it will refresh you because psalm 19 7 says the law of the lord that's another way of saying the word of the lord we could even say the bible the bible the word of the lord is perfect converting the soul the testimony of the lord is sure making wise this simple this word that is used here for converts means to revive restore and transformed as i read the word of god it revives me it restores me it resets me in life because there are times when we can get turned upside down by worry by panic by fear even by grief you know we just marked 13 years since our son christopher went to be with the lord and even though you know this day is coming it's still a very hard day it's july 24th you sort of dread the day it's a difficult day to get through and you that have lost loved ones know what i'm talking about and a grief is powerful and it and it's something that's very hard to control i think of grief a little bit like white water if you've been to the beach i follow this little website on instagram called kook slams and it's just people getting wiped out in waves and things and i find it very entertaining i'm sorry to say but anyway now you're gonna go follow kook slams but so you see crazy things that people do they underestimate the power of the ocean and what can happen when you're out in the ocean catching waves is you can go over the falls and you're sort of like in a washing machine and if you have a flotation device like a surfboard or a boogie board and a leash attached to your leg you know that if you get under the water just grab the leash and pull on it and it will pull you to the surface because more than one person caught in the white water has become disoriented and they went down when they should have gone up and they drowned as a result so that leash will pull you to your flotation device which will get you to the surface to get a gulp of air before the next pounding waves come on you right so here's the way i see these things grief or worry or anxiety or fear or any of those things are like white water i get turned upside down i don't know which way is up my emotions get the best of me grab the leash what is the leash it's the word of god let the leash pull you to the surface where you get a glimpse of the lord you're reminded of the fact that god is in control god is sovereign god loves me uh god's got this and then maybe i'll go under again but the word of god revives me it restores me listen to this success or failure in the christian life it depends on how much of the word of god you get into your life on a regular basis and how obedient you are to it to say it again it's on the screen success or failure in the christian life depends on how much of god's word you get into your life on a regular basis and how obedient you are to it in the book of joshua we have these words to joshua and others as they enter into this new land joshua 1 8 this book of the law and that could be just as easily stated as the word of god of the bible shall not depart from your mouth you shall meditate in it day and night and observe to do all that is written in it and then you will have your way made prosperous and you will have good success look one of the things that hits a younger christian and if you're a younger christian you're gonna have to deal with this is doubt you'll doubt you'll just suddenly have a big old doubt is this true can i really believe this and the devil has been using this tactic for a long time go back to the garden of eden he goes to adam and eve says loose paraphrase did god really tell you what you think he told you is it really true you can't eat of every tree in the garden and then he goes on with this lie telling them they should eat of the forbidden fruit and so forth but he came with doubt and that's where the word of god comes in and jesus shows us how to deal with the devil because when he was tempted in the wilderness and satan hit him with three waves of attack or temptation if you will each time christ responded with the word of god it is written he said it is written and obviously jesus had committed scripture to memory so a successful christian will be a bible studying christian a failing christian will be one who neglects scripture a growing believer will always delight in and love the word of god delight in and love the word of god someone happy as the man that doesn't walk in the counsel of the ungodly or stand on the way of sinners or sit in the seat of this cornfield but his delight is in the word of the lord and in it does he meditate day and night psalm 119 159 says see i love your commandments lord give back my life because of your unfailing love all your words are true we should delight in it but first we have to open it heard about a man that took his wife who wasn't feeling well to the doctor so they're in the waiting room doctor says you can come in now so the wife goes into the doctor's office and the man is waiting and he hears noise in there like what is going on it's loud noise and and then he the doctor comes out does anyone have a screwdriver someone had a screwdriver gave it to the doctor he goes back in his office he hears a banging sound the doctor comes back out does anybody have a pair of pliers someone had pliers came to the doctor he disappears again now the doctor himself says does anyone have a hammer the man is alarmed doctor what are you doing to my wife oh i haven't even gone to her yet i'm just trying to get my medical bag open that's all see nothing's going to happen until the bible is open and you read what it has to say i remember the first time i began to read the bible one was given to me and i just couldn't believe how relevant it was to my 17 year old self like wow this actually addresses things i'm dealing with this is what i've been looking for this is the user's manual of life i've wondered about and here it is and it's so amazing when you see it working in your own life and one of the ways the doctor knows a person is healthy is by checking their appetite and if you're a healthy christian you'll be a hungry christian and you'll have a hunger for the word of god first peter 2 2 says like newborn babies crave pure spiritual milk that you may grow up you know the feeling when you haven't eaten it's almost like you're getting sick look i don't know about you but when i get up in the morning the first thought on my mind is food now you're probably thinking i'd say no the bible no i want food before i read the bible and before food it might even be coffee i need coffee and i need something in my stomach and now we'll get to the bible and see what it has to say and if i don't eat i get irritable i think they call it being hangry right how many of you deal with this same kind of a thing that's all guys of course uh so that you know that's how it is but then how amazing it is how a good meal can make all the difference the same is true of god's word jeremiah 15 15 says when your words came i ate them they were my joy and my hearts delight and i bear your name o lord god almighty so let me now share with you five things you need to know about the word of god and how important it is to you and they're all found right here in psalm 19. let's read verses 7 to 11. i'm reading from the new king james version the law of the lord is perfect and let me add this the phrase the law of the lord again can be the word of the lord and we could even say the bible the bible is perfect the word of god is perfect the law of the lord is perfect converting the soul the testimony of the lord is sure making wise is simple the statutes of the lord are right rejoicing the heart the commandment of the lord is pure enlightening the eyes the fear of the lord is clean enduring forever the judgments of the lord are true and righteous altogether more to be desired are they than gold yea than much fine gold sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb moreover by them is your servant warned and in keeping of them there is great word i love the poetry of that don't you don't forget the psalms were originally set to music they're like lyrics to a song so here what do we learn number one the word of god is perfect the word of god is perfect this phrase means that it is something that is trustworthy listen the word of god doesn't change but if you understand it it will change you and we live in a culture that's changing we live in a time where where things are being said we would have never thought would be said but that's the crazy world we're in today and things go in and out of style like technology technology can be out of date if it's just six months old much less two or three years old news is so dated i mean newspapers who reads newspapers anymore i used to subscribe i got a paper the other day and he opened it up i thought how novel look at these big pages that turn over you know because the other day the kids the grandkids were playing with clay we said let's put some newspaper on the table and we realized we don't have any newspapers but i had a newspaper and i read through it and i thought it was very charming these articles and and i could underline things the problem was it was out of date because something just happened in the news feed right and then how about pictures are we all not collectively embarrassed by our yearbook photos i think it's almost mandatory to take a bad yearbook photo don't you there's always something weird going on with the hair and the yearbook photos isn't there and you wonder what was i thinking so i'm going to give you a guided tour of my hairstyles over the years are you ready for this so here's i this is baby greg okay look at the little curly hair and i was wearing jeans back then and i'm still wearing jeans today so that's me with my mother okay here this next shot here i am a little bit older that's not a real gun don't be alarmed uh and then the next shot this is me in high school that those are the good old days man i'm telling you that's surfer wave and i did this a lot you know whipping the hair so now the wave is gone and all i have is beach it's just really sad okay now this wine i'm growing the hair out a little bit long this was taken right after i became a christian this is full hippie me uh and all of my hippiness and uh okay so now i'm kind of cleaning my look up a little bit little fu manchu mustache i don't know what's going on with the hair it looks like i curled it or something that's so weird you know that okay now i cut it all off here's where things started to go wrong the next picture okay this let's let's stay here for a moment have you heard of the mullet does anyone have a mullet okay i can mock them then okay uh they were popular mullet is when you grow your hair long in the back you know the only thing worse than a mullet is a skullet a skull it is when you're growing your hair long in the back and you're combing it over look at this next picture this show look at that what's what's going on there so i grew the hair out this is probably one of the first crusades i grew my hair out long i'm combing it over and spraying it down and this is the worst of all worlds right there but this is my new look that's coming so get ready for it yeah so this is a hairpiece i've ordered it's arriving in a week and i'll start wearing that no it isn't i'm not going to wear this that's actually an app my friend john irwin used this app and gave me that here preachers should not wear hair pieces it's a lie on your head so you get the bald greg that's it anyway say what does this have to do with the bible my point was culture changes style changes the word of god never changes and you can trust what it says god's word is as fresh as the morning dew lamentations 3 22 or 3 23 says his mercies are new every morning the word perfect means whole complete and sufficient the word of god is whole complete insufficient you don't have to add to it you don't have to take away from it as second timothy 3 16 reminds us all scripture is breathed by god or inspired by god it's his infallible word everything you need to know about god is found in the bible so next point the word of god transforms us the word of god transforms us back to psalm 19 verse 7 the law of the lord of the word of the lord is perfect converting the soul the testimony of the lord is sure making wise as simple when i read the word of god it revives restores and transforms me now you might say well i don't really need to be transformed then don't read the bible but if you're a person that realizes you need to constantly be making changes in your life if you're a person that wishes you were different than you are now if you're a person that realizes that your relationships with others could be better or you wish that you weren't a victim of some addiction or some vice or some other thing if you're a person that needs help and living your life then the bible is the book for you but if you say i don't need any of those things then you don't need the bible and you're also an idiot because the fact is we all need this but it's not enough to just read and study it needs to change us we must do it james 1 22. says remember it's a message to obey not just listen to if you don't obey you're only fooling yourself if you just listen and don't obey you're like a person who looks at the reflection in a mirror and does nothing to improve their appearance you see yourself you walk away and forget what you look like but if you keep looking steadily james continues into god's perfect law the law that sets you free and do what it says and don't forget what you heard then god will bless you for doing it so you know maybe you're noticing people are smiling at you a lot oh and smiling oh hey i'm looking good today then you go and you wash your hands and look at your reflection oh now i know why that piece of cheese from the morning omelet was there the whole time right so so you make a change oh that's not good we got to clean that up so when i look at the word of god oh wow okay that i see that i need to make a change in my life as i read this passage you know as i read verses from the bible i ask myself is there any sin here i'm being warned about that i should avoid is there any promise here for me to claim is there any victory to gain is there any blessing to enjoy so i look at it with intent like this is the word of god and i believe that god will speak to me through what i am reading god's word should be treasured psalm 119 11. your word have i treasured in my heart that i might not sin against you the word treasure means to hide or store commit scripture to memory memorize the bible don't tell me you can't do it of course you can because we memorize all kinds of random stuff don't we lines from movies that you quote so freely uh lyrics to songs other trivial information that you have acquired over the years make room in your mind in your heart for the word of god and treasure it okay point number three the word of god gives us incredible wisdom it gives us incredible wisdom verse seven the testimony of the lord is sure making wise is simple the word translated simple comes from a root word that speaks of an open door it says speaking of a person who has a mind like an open door and this is not good because it's open to everything enclosed to nothing they're just willing to take anything into their mind so the testimony of the lord is sure making wise this simple you're simple minded you're too naive you're too gullible you're too willing to believe anything and everything you're open to all these things that come in and i feel like right now maybe this is more true than ever people go out on the web and they read these crazy conspiracy websites and believe whatever crazy people post and take it as though it was the scripture itself the bible will help us to think clearly and rationally and we will develop a biblical worldview very important for instance if i believe man is basically good i must be having a hard time right now but if i believe what the bible says that man is not basically good but he's bad he's sinful and he's living apart from god without christ now i understand why people do the things that they do so the bible sort of sets me so i think clearly and biblically because sometimes even christians say silly things like well i don't believe in a god who would judge someone i believe in a god who and then you just describe whatever random idea you have about god but if i read the bible i'll see god as he really is and not only is god's word perfect and not only does it make us wise but the word of god is right look at psalm 19 verse 8 the statutes of the lord are right rejoicing the heart and this phrase in the original hebrew means god gives us the right path for us to follow you don't have to lose your bearings in the fog of human opinion you have the solid direction of scripture my final point keeping the word of god makes you happy oh yeah it makes you happy psalm 19 verse 8 the statutes of the lord are right rejoicing the heart if you want to be a happy person be a bible studying person if you want to be a happy person be someone who obeys what the scripture says and you realize when the bible tells you not to do something it's for your own good it's for your own protection and when the bible then tells you to do something that too is for your good let me come back to evangelism for a moment i don't like to do evangelism i don't like to share with others it's awkward it's difficult yet the bible commands me to go and share this scripture and it tells me a generous soul will be made fat and he that gives to others will have more given to him and see the devil wants to keep me from sharing my faith because he knows what a blessing it will be to me so coming to the subject of giving oh i'm uncomfortable with the subject of giving i don't why why are you uncomfortable with it the bible says that we should give to the lord generously and if we'll bring our gifts to the lord he promises that he will give back to us but oh i don't know you're missing the point if god tells you to do it do it if god tells you not to do it don't do it and we misunderstand so many things because we think the word of god is keeping us from happiness when in reality the word of god will lead us to true and lasting happiness it makes you happy jesus said in luke 11 28 happy is the man who hears the word of god and keeps it you can have a happy life without sin you can have a happy life without sex before or after marriage you can have a happy life without drugs or alcohol you can have a happy life without selfishness god is not out to ruin your life he wants you to be fulfilled that's right this happiness he gives doesn't stop when the party is over it comes from reading studying obeying memorizing the word of god listen to this the bible must be more than a prop it needs to be your guide so open this book up and you watch what the lord will reveal to you and open this book up every single day the bible tells me how to live in this life and it tells me how to be prepared for the afterlife it tells me what the meaning of my life actually is and what is the meaning of my life well according to scripture over in revelation 4 11 it says god has created all things for his pleasure i've been created to bring pleasure and glory to god not pleasure and glory to me if i spend my life pursuing pleasure i will have short-lived experiences with the guilt and the ramifications that follow and i'll never really find the pleasure i want but if i seek the lord and put him first in my life i'll find the pleasure i desire not from seeking it but from seeking him because the bible says in his presence there is fullness of joy and on his right hand there are pleasures forevermore i'm here to bring glory to god i'm here to walk with god to know god but what about the afterlife the bible tells me how to be ready for it jesus summed it up perfectly when he said for god so loved the world he gave his only begotten son whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life there it is oh god loves me he sent his son to die for me if i'll put my faith in him i will live forever in heaven everything i need to know is right here so let me just close with this maybe there's somebody here that has never believed this promise of god you've wondered what the meaning of your life is you've wondered why you're here on this earth and why you exist and you've wondered a lot even recently about what's going to happen to you when you die that all depends on what you do with what the bible says if you believe what scripture says and put your faith in christ you will go to heaven if you reject what the bible says and reject christ you will face eternity separated from god in hell oh did you have to say that what a buzz kill greg hey it's the bible man i got to tell you what it says but the last thing god wants is for any man or woman made in his image to spend eternity separated from him in hell and the bible talks a lot about hell by the way in fact jesus spoke more about hell and all the other preachers of the bible put together god doesn't want you to go there he wants you to join him in heaven but that only comes to putting my faith in christ not living a good life because you're not good enough nor am i nor is any person even the best of the best isn't good enough and that's where jesus comes in while we were yet sinners christ died for us and if i'll ask christ to forgive me i can know i'll go to heaven when i die maybe there's somebody here that wants to know that personally somebody here that wants god's forgiveness in their life this is your opportunity to change your eternal address from hell to heaven this is your opportunity to start this new relationship with the lord so in a moment we're going to pray and i'm going to extend an invitation to any person here who does not yet know jesus christ or doesn't have the hope of heaven or has been trying to find the meaning of life it can all happen for you right now let's pray together father i pray that you'll speak to every person that is here and every person on every campus that is watching if they don't know you yet lord if they don't have a relationship with you i pray this is the moment that they will believe and be forgiven of all of their sins not while our heads are bowed and our eyes are closed we're praying together how many of you would say today greg i need jesus christ i want to be certain that i will go to heaven when i die i want to be forgiven of my sin i want my guilt removed pray for me today if that's your desire if you want jesus to come into your life if you want him to forgive you of your sin if you want to be certain you will go to heaven when you die wherever you are would you just lift your hand up and i'd like to pray for you lift your hand up saying i need jesus today let me pray for you wherever you are god bless you raise your hand up god bless you god bless you wherever you are say yeah i need jesus today i want to go to heaven when i die pray for me raise your hand i'll pray for you god bless you some of you are watching the screen harvest orange county harvest maui you can raise your hand too i can't see you but the lord sees you and i want to lead you in this prayer so every one of you that just raise your hand wherever you are i want you to pray this prayer right where you sit you can pray it out loud if you like or pray it quietly but do pray this pray lord jesus i know that i'm a sinner but i know you're the savior now come into my life i choose to follow you from this moment forward as my savior and lord as my god and friend in jesus name i pray amen god bless you that just prayed that prayer for every one of you that just prayed i want to give you a copy of this bible it's called the new believer's bible for here at harvest riverside you go back in the corner over there and we'll give you one of these bibles so wherever you're sitting come on down and go into the corner of our sanctuary for harvest oc you guys go to your left there's someone there holding up a sign or holding up a bible they'll take you to a room around the back and harvest maui you guys will go over to the left of your stage you're right the right of your stage of as well all right well before our closing worship song we're going to have a a special moment to thank a very important member of our staff who has been with me for 37 years and i'm talking about john come on up i'm talking about your friend of mine pastor john collins and so and his wife cindy so john has been with me through so many wild adventures going back as i said 37 years and uh starting with so many things we've done together uh we did radio tours in the east coast and philippines yeah planted a couple of churches uh over there and then in the 90s that was when the big historic moment happened for our church where we launched the harvest crusades and uh so pastor chuck came to me uh after uh some kind of a meeting and said greg i'd like you to go to the pacific amphitheater and do these evangelistic events and uh and so then that was it and i said well that's a great idea and how do i get this started he said talk to this guy and he told me a guy to talk to and i talked to him and um he said yeah i checked into it it's not going to work out after a couple of days so i went to john i said john come on we're going to make this happen so john what happened how did you pull that off i just offered him more money [Laughter] that's some way to do it well it worked and i think that was money well invested because that was uh the first time at the pacific amphitheater and i remember we broke attendance records for that venue and now fast forward 30 how many years is it 30 32 years 32 years 1000 over 500 000 people have made professions of faith all around the state the nation the world and john's obviously been very involved as a pastor here at our church helping us in so many important areas but john and his wife they have 13 grandchildren can you believe this so so john tell us you mentioned you had a great analogy about what was it a guy in a skateboard or a scooter or something what was that or whatever you want to say if i can tell this story but uh well i'll give it a shot i the very first time i spoke from this pulpit right here uh it was on new year's in 1985. and i came up and was excited about what god was doing here in the church so many great things were happening and excited to be a part of it and so i told the story of a guy that was on a motor scooter and he wrote up to next to this guy on a in a lamborghini at the stoplight and uh he uh pulled up next to him and stuck his head in the window and looked around that car and said man mister you got a great car so when the light was ready to change the uh owner of the lamborghini wanted to show off a little bit so he took off and uh left him in a cloud of dust well a couple of seconds later he looks at his mirror and there's this guy in the motor scooter catching him and you know he catches him but he passes them and then a couple of minutes later he's coming back the other way going just as fast goes back and a couple of seconds later he looks guy in the lamborghini or looks in him in his mirror and the motor scooter is catching him again he says well i got to pull over and stop and find out what this guy's got in the motor in that little scooter so he does and the scooter pulls up next to him and the guy says what do you have in that little scooter it's so fast and he says well it's just a scooter but if you don't mind i'll unhook my suspender so that's the way i felt then and it's kind of the way i felt now but now i have to unhook my suspender so john is um he's been on our staff he's going to continue to be a part of our church go to the next chapter of his life enjoy his family and other ministry opportunities but i want to just say that i want to say that we couldn't have done what we have done up to this point without john's leadership when i think of john i think of godliness i think of integrity uh i think of honesty and in a man who loves his wife and loves his children and loves his 13 grandchildren beautiful gigantic family that the lord has blessed them with and we know that god has exciting things in store for you so we just want to say thank you for all that you've done and we want to ask god's great blessing on you as you and cindy head off to see what the lord will do but we'll still be seeing you here i think you're going to keep leading a small group
