[Applause] man amen amen amen why don't you quickly grab a seat please i want you to keep your seats find a seat keep them if you could just stay with me joel would be amazing thank you dom uh i want us to just tend to the presence of the lord tonight that's our goal and our obsession here isn't it that we would live with him as we gather but there are many here tonight who need jesus my friend ben fitzgerald is here and i'm going to ask him for the next 10 minutes to share the gospel so listen carefully listen carefully you can come up now ben there is nothing more precious other than god himself than than your soul there's an old saying that creation cost the lord nothing but salvation cost him everything so i want every phone on silent and i want us to be a people that heaven can trust to carry the presence and glory of god ben will share the gospel and then i will for those of you who give your life to jesus tonight i will help you get connected with the right people here and the right team but i want you to listen listen listen every eye on me please everyone here has been ordained to be here before you were ever born listen to me all of you who feel like you'll never change before you were ever born the lord knew you'd be in that seat tonight hearing the gospel and i believe he sent ben tonight to share heaven's song the glorious gospel of jesus christ amen all right give the lord give the lord your attention hallelujah jesus loves you you believe that all right i'm going to go through quite a discourse here because i want to make the gospel very very clear to you tonight i want it to be so clear so crystal clear that you know two things you know about the state of where you are and you know about the state of where god is toward you so i want to go through a bunch of scripture but i'll read it out you don't have to turn there in your bible it would take us too long but before that guys just last night i had this kind of word for the church and i just want to declare it to you this book is the truth this is the absolute truth i want to tell you something there is things in the world that are facts but there is no other truth this is the fullness of the godhead bodily in flesh in scripture this thing is 100 true so if you bank your life on this because remember satan tested jesus and he came to him and he said if you're the son of god if he tested the very son of god he'll test you as well how did jesus answer with the word of the lord i have just an encouragement for you as a church before i share the gospel that you would fully give yourself to this book because it's a hundred percent real amen all right you can turn your bibles for this first scripture to the book of ecclesiastes how many of you love the word of god i love the word of god you heard the joke set about when paul the apostle sent a letter to timothy you know his spiritual son in the faith that the mailman came and knocked on timothy's door and said oh there's a letter here from you from paul and he said thank you very much he said what's the box full of books for and he said paul sent them their concordances to explain what the letter means how many of you you know that timothy didn't need 50 concordances he had the spirit of the lord and that's what you need tonight i'm going to preach to you a message in some ways from the grave from the wealthiest man who's ever lived i won't be speaking to you this is not ben fitzgerald's opinion this is a man who is wealthier than anybody in this room in fact if we were to collectively take all the wealth of this room maybe we'd own something like a tenth of what he owned this man was the wealthiest wisest and most powerful person who ever lived praise god i believe he's in heaven now so it's not so much a message from the grave but it's a message that's crying out from eternity we're going to start in ecclesiastes chapter 12. if you can turn there please the very end of the book and this is what it says verse 8. actually we'll start with verse seven then the dust will return to the earth as it was and the spirit will return to god who gave it and then this very very wise very wealthy man then said this this scripture that blows my mind if you think about where he came from what he'd amassed in his life all the things that he had he said this scripture here in verse 8 of 12 ecclesiastes it says vanity of vanity says the preacher all is vanity this man in the sum total of all his life and understanding came to the conclusion at the end of his life that everything is vain the hebrew word for vanity in this context means this the bubble that is about to burst at any moment many of us pursue things in this life that we would say godly pursuits good pursuits a family pursuit financial security for example this man had more than that he had it all the bible says and i'm going to read you a couple of scriptures about what he said about himself this man says he had all of his desires ecclesiastes chapter 2 verse 10. let's just quickly read that that'll be the last one we read because there's too much scripture but ecclesiastes 2 10 says this it's quite amazing this man said whatever my eyes desired i did not keep from them everything that i looked at i just took it everything that i thought i should want i just took it verse 11 said i didn't withhold any sorry verse 10 i did not withhold my heart from any pleasure solomon had an mtv life he had a life that the world tells you you should have you can have all the pleasure in the world while this man had it and he ended his life saying it was a bubble that was about to burst it was all vain the man had 700 wives excuse me for being so honest but he had more sex than anyone here but the sex didn't fulfill his heart at the end of all that he said all is vain 700 wives he had more pleasure now some of you might think that's a headache more than a pleasure but he had pleasure he had houses everywhere the world's best pool he had a football-sized pool with 12 bronze lions around the football field he could look over it all he could see his gigantic house his big ball he had 1 000 people or more serving him at any given time and he looked at it all at the end and said it's vain it didn't give me peace i felt vanity in the moment that i accomplished everything i gained everything but it didn't give me peace some of you are on the same path you might not have done what solomon did you might not have as many wives many people joke and say most people are good because they can't afford to be evil he could afford it he had the money but in your heart when you look at pornography it's the same pursuit fill me with something that will fulfill every man has to go back there because nothing really fulfills that's why you have to go back to it he had all that his heart desired solomon had all riches he was literally paid billions per year billions not millions billions someone's happy about that they want to be a billionaire praise god for you i'll take that as an encouragement clap i brought my own encouragement sitting right down the back there as you can see solomon he had all the riches he had over 40 000 horses can you imagine him strolling up there all these horses going to his gold vault touching his gold oh what security that must feel like but he said at the end of his life all is vanity why because it goes to somebody else all that i worked for all that gold i can't take those horses into the grave with me those horses can't tell me i'm valuable the gold cannot comfort me in a cemetery where i'm left to the exact same thing that every other human is left to they're left to everything that they did is just but a memory and he said at the end of his life all is vanity and he cried out from eternity solomon was also the most known person in the world some something you want to be known surely you want some followers surely you want to fraction your identity down to a double tap on a screen our this current generation has made a major mistake not only have we given ourselves to sin we've given ourselves to a double tap on a screen it's been said that there's been more suicides since facebook began in the western world because of social media because someone will say on facebook you're fat and by them making one comment the person tilts their life into suicide they leave everything behind all that could have been with god because of one comment solomon was more known than anybody it says he was the wisest man in fact i'll read the scripture to you but look wise men rich men it doesn't matter he understood all his vain because he's headed to the same grave he understood that there's a grave coming i can put it on the outside i can wear a mask i can pretend i'm happy but there's a grave coming he was wise in that sense because he knew that all that he was clutching for at life trying to be wealthy trying to be famous all these things he knew it was falling apart again vanity the hebrew word the bubble that is ready to burst and where's your bubble what is your bubble solomons might have been those wives it might have been his wealth we know in the end of his life that he was led astray by the desires he had from the very desire he began with he desired god but he was led astray by something else what is your bubble is pornography a source that is feeding you enough to say that i'll hold on to this till the grave comes and then face god having been separated him my whole life having not believed pushed him into the corner tried to cut myself off from him and said i'll live for myself the greatest people in the world the funniest people in the world the richest people in the world think that too they can invent things we can think we're so wise solomon it was said of solomon he was the wisest person who ever lived but at the end of his life he said all is vanity steve jobs would give up the entire apple company if someone was to give him a pill that cured cancer he'd take it all back robin williams see this is the thing about human intelligence some people think the bible says in in the book of psalms it says the full not wise man the fool has said in his heart there's no god i've made in my mind my peanut-sized brain the assumption that the universe was created by something i think it was created by therefore in my mind i'm correct solomon said that even as correct as you can be as wise as you can be as many concubines servants people coming to your house as much wealth as you can amass as popular as you can be it's all vanity robin williams sadly didn't have the cure for the depression that was tormenting and plaguing him every day and the depression wasn't caused by robin williams and the depression wasn't caused because he was too famous the depression and all these other things the bubble that is bursting in your life and in mine is caused by one thing the cause is sin the cause is independence from the god who made us how can a ferrari operate as the most powerful force on the road with no engine how beautiful it might look how amazing life might seem but how can it operate when it's constantly trying to suck dirt from the ground into this empty engine that doesn't have any capacity to drive that's what human beings are like when they continually turn to sin and many christians say well i'm saved brother i said a sinner's prayer saved doesn't mean saved in the greek and hebrew word it means to put your trust in god and it means changed changed solomon knew at the end of his life that he needed to be changed not just saved you've heard my testimony before that's why i'm not preaching it to you tonight i thought i'd preach you the wealthiest man on earth testimony the wealthiest wisest most well-known man on the earth and by the way if you don't think that's a fact feel free to read the history it's not just in the bible the man was wealthier than anybody who's ever lived i wrote some things down i want to read this to you he had all wisdom he commanded a massive army he literally had thousands of servants wrote thousands of texts imagine all the books in the world the greatest structure was on the earth at the time he built it he said all was vanity he was headed to the same grave as you and i and he knew it in all man's efforts of wisdom they still cannot figure out in all man's efforts of trying to put their their trust in their brain their trust in their lust their trust in their money in all of their best efforts they cannot figure out how to stop addiction how to break sickness and cure sickness how to stop hating one another how to stop starting wars how to stop divorcing each other oh i'm so wise i have 50 phds on the wall but you can't love your best friend because he sinned against you once and now you have hatred in your heart for him that's the problem of humanity the problem is our own independence from god and sin yet over and over man falls for the trap that he knows more than god who created him even though his class in his school his class of life by which he thinks he's such an avid learner is about to end and the class bell is going to ring and it's going to be the bells of the funeral at the end of his life and he's going to realize headed to that grave what did i give myself for what was my pursuit it was a bubble ready to burst it was all vanity what is the cause of all this and what is the cure the cause is sin it's indwelling in us we were born we inherited it it sucks it's bad we might not think we have it but where does sin start does it start at the thinking level or the acting level would you care if a man thought about your woman and imagine your wife and imagine all dirty things with her or if he only did it see sin isn't sin according to what we determine sin is seen according to god's holiness and the word of god is clear all have sinned and have fallen short of the glory that god made us for he made us for joy he made us for glory he made us so whether you have the gold or you don't have the gold you have god and you have peace that's what he made us for and that's what solomon began to realize lastly i'll just read this and i'm going to pray for you the problem is sin darkness independence from god pushing you away from god telling you you're smarter than god telling you don't need a god telling you this pawn you won't give an account for it telling you this marriage it doesn't matter if you divorce it telling you the decisions you make now have zero eternal consequence but they do and the wealthiest man in the earth in history speaks to your heart tonight and says don't go down that vain road don't go down that road turn your life over to the living god the scripture says this what is the cure the one who was sinless became sin for us the one who was sinless went to that cross that we deserved and i don't mean to curse against robin williams i wish i hadn't met him i would have preached to him but his life all that he accomplished he went to a grave that jesus already paid the way for if he had have just known if only he had made a choice the word of god says clearly and this is one of my favorite verses actually second corinthians 5 21 he made him jesus who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf so that we might become the righteousness of god i used to pursue lust i used to pursue money i used to pursue fame i pursued all the things that mr solomon pursued but i woke up every day i used to put a mask on pretend i was happy tough make make myself i never wanted to cry never i always wanted to be hard but in here i hated myself because sin brings shame but he made him who knew no sin to become sin for you for you even if you prayed the sinner's prayer but yet you've walked into sin so the sinner's prayer truly it wasn't fully happening inside your heart because he didn't come and live in there if he comes and lives in there he kicks everything else out he makes this happen in your life he became that sin for you so that you can become his righteousness you can put your head down at night and have peace in your heart man there is nothing like it it's phenomenal john chapter 11 25-26 jesus said to her i am the resurrection and the life whoever believes in me though he dies yet he shall live and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die and then jesus finishes a statement with three words do you believe this that's four words excuse me lord for the dyslexia there do you believe this tonight do you believe very last verse i'll read to you remember what it said at the end of ecclesiastes he said at the end of the book all his vanity interestingly though that book is a summary of many many things in his life but interestingly he started with the same issue and he says this in chapter one these are the words of the preacher so we know what solomon the son of david king in jerusalem verse two of chapter one says vanity of vanity says the preacher vanity of vanities all is vanity what prophet has a man from all his labor in which he toils under the sun one generation passes away another generation comes and but the earth abides forever the sun also rises the sun goes down it hastens to the place where it rose the wind goes to and forth from the south and turns around to the north the wind swirls about continually and comes again in a circuit the rivers run in the sea yet the sea is not full to the place from which the rivers come there again they return all things are full of labor man cannot express it for the eye is not satisfied with the seeing nor the ear satisfied with the hearing the pursuit in other words is a cycle that never stops until you do one thing you say what am i doing on earth here looking at all this stuff for where is god and tonight i ask you this question is your bubble about to burst because i have great news for you someone took your vain bubble and they let it be burst open on their own flesh and took your sin that you might have relationship with god that you yourself may be filled with jesus christ with the peace that he has the love that he has and he has no regret in giving that love he's so in love with you all he wants is that you'd open your heart and say yes to him tonight and not play any more games and not play any more vain ambitions and go down another road don't pick another door don't try another 10 years how do we know we have 10 years left i want to implore you tonight are you right with christ i want every head bowed and every eye closed please and if you're watching on the live stream maybe you clicked on there by accident you don't even know why god doesn't have accidents like that you're on god's calendar listen to the voice inside your heart listen to what god is speaking to you he's saying to you don't pursue vanity another day be be one with the one who made you the lord jesus christ said this if any man comes after me let him deny himself take up his cross and follow me would you like to deny that vain bubble tonight would you like to give up the empty pursuit of sin the arms of a loving king and loving father are open wide to you and his name is jesus christ the bible says that all of sin and fall short of the glory of god but if we confess our sin he is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness it doesn't matter what mess you're in what sin you did how dark it was how long it's been jesus christ paid it all but i want you to be honest with god be as honest as the richest person who ever lived was say god i'm tired of this yes i've confessed that i'm a christian but i'm living like i'm living like hell it's the same as before i'm still in bondage i still haven't given up this pursuit i still feed off this other stuff my trust is still in my money my trust is in who knows me give up that pursuit and come to christ or maybe you're here for the very first time and you don't know believe you don't really believe in jesus but you can tell that i'm speaking right to you that's because the lord is knocking on the door of your heart be honest with god you have nothing to lose and everything to gain so while every eye is closed i ask you if that is you i want you to forget the fear of man and what people next you think of you you do this for you jesus loves you will you respond to his love if you want to respond and you want to be forgiven and you want to be free and made a child of god would you stand up in your place where you are right now without any fear of human opinion just stand and if you know someone next to you if your wife is there and you're like honey i feel like i should stand just look at her and grab her hand and both of you stand thank you jesus look at these precious people standing come on give the lord praise give the lord praise there's more of you though thank you jesus there's more of you maybe you're a backslidden christian maybe you think no i'm a christian but you know your life is deep in sin the same message is to you i'll give you one more opportunity i want you to stand please do not fear the human opinion of man it will that is vanity that's a bubble that will burst every day of the week it's wonderful thank you jesus if you want to give your life to jesus christ would you stand i ask you one more time i believe the lord's knocking on the door of so many hearts and you're just sitting there with a little bit of fear because you're like i believe that i'm a christian you may be but it's time for you to give your life to jesus just stand right now no one's looking except all of heaven bless you sweetheart bless you my brother jesus bless you oh hallelujah oh look if you stood or you wish you did i want you to come down right now and spread out as you come down come come down if you stood or wish you did get down here and i want to pray with you come on come on [Applause] awesome ushers if i could have some help please i want everyone out there to stand everybody out there stand please give the lord praise come on for those of you who stood or wish you did please come to the altar and spread it out oh give the lord praise this is wonderful this is wonderful thank you jesus [Applause] oh come on give the lord praise thank you jesus hallelujah [Applause] i believe that there's some people here you brought a friend and you brought them so they would meet the lord and you know there's a very good chance that their eternity is not secure i want you to boldly look them in the eye right now and do the work of an evangelist in god's house and say hey do you need to get down there and give your life to jesus i'll go with you and the moment they say yes you bring them down as well i'm going to pray in just a moment father i give you praise i thank you i thank you for what you're doing come on let's just begin to thank the lord i thank you for what you're doing here lord i pray in jesus name that you would draw them with cords of love that you would pull them pull them to the very heart of god right now thank you lord for the work of the holy spirit hallelujah i want the church i want those of you who are still in your seats i want you to begin praying right now out loud and i've never done this before i want you to pray out loud that the bondages will truly break tonight in jesus name come on you begin praying i want you to pray for about a minute come on lift your voice lift your voice father in the name of jesus keep praying i thank you that is the anointing that destroys the yoke the power of the anointed one let that anointing descend tonight and set every person free from the bondage of sin and death i pray that every person right now who's wondering who's wondering in his is consumed with the fear of man that they'd be liberated right now in jesus name and their lives would be given to jesus forever and ever just keep praying for about another 30 there we go praise your father praise your father yep there's more coming praise your father i give you praise i give you praise all right now for those of you who've come forward please look at me everyone has come forward i'm going to pray with you and when we pray the lord jesus himself is going to cancel listen every trespass probably in your mind you're thinking that it can't be it's too good to be true that is amazing grace it is shocking to the core if you could clean you you would have done so already isn't it wonderful none of us will stand before heaven in our own merit god bless you precious young girls god bless you spread them out a bit john spread them out please now as we pray that's a fancy word listen for genuinely communicating with god and sometimes it's people that are raised in church who struggle the most with this because we have language without the heart but tonight you're going to genuinely talk to the lord and this is the beauty of what will happen are you ready for this promise whosoever calls on the name of the lord shall be saved you're not calling on the name of jesus image you're calling on the name of jesus and that is wonderful when that happens everything you've ever committed will be blotted away transgressions in other words you breaking the law of god which happens as ben said not only by what we do but even by what we think all every transgression will be blotted out every trespass erased and then your listen however your name is in the book of life your trespasses are gone but your name is securely written on another page the pages of the book of life this is wonderful in that moment the lord will come and live inside of you and this is why that's important because of regardless of where you are or what you're doing preaching mowing the lawn baking michael a keto dessert whatever you feel led to be doing you will have the presence of the lord inside of you and you can be with jesus 24 7. once you pray tonight you'll never have to just wait to go to heaven to be with the lord it starts now isn't that wonderful all right let's pray i want everyone out there stretch your hands towards them and this is what this i want the posture of your heart to be this for those of you in your seats as you're stretching your your hands you're stepping in as god's people and you're saying we stand in the gap for these newborn souls and i want you believing by faith that they will never again know a day away from the lord okay that's what i want you praying for those of you who come forward i want you to repeat after me in fact i want everybody here to confess this are you ready say this heavenly father i come to you tonight a sinner save my soul wash me in the blood of jesus cleanse me in the blood of the lamb forgive my sin i repent of my sin i repent of my own will i turn from the devil and the ways of the world i renounce the devil and i look to jesus tonight and i confess that jesus christ is the son of the living god that he suffered bled and died on calvary's tree that he was buried and raised from the dead three days later hallelujah oh i feel this and i believe that he has ascended on high and is seated at the right hand of the father as the king of kings and the lord of lords and so tonight lord jesus i give you my life receive my life receive my heart come and live there and i believe that you're coming back again to rule and reign as the king of kings so tonight i am born again born again i belong to you and i want to follow you for the rest of my life in jesus name amen amen hallelujah [Applause] [Music] [Applause] now look everything's different now everything everything's different now everything you are ashamed of is gone and now you can live a victorious life i said this last week a great man said if we had it to wait to die to be free from sin that would make death our savior or not jesus you can be free and you are free right now there's a few things i want you to do to live this victorious life number one pray daily if you say i don't know how to pray here's what i want you to do go in your room and tell god that and you'll be praying let's go i don't know how to pray and he'll go up you're doing it okay every day can you stay every day all right number two read your bible if you don't have one let the church know we would love to give you one gladly this is the bread of life this is not a recommendation never forget what i'm about to tell you jesus said man does not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of god that means that the word of god is life and to not have it is death reading the word is a matter of survival not a mere matter of encouragement it will encourage you but it's much deeper than that it is a matter of survival man lives by it are you hearing me read your bible every day number three you need to get baptized in water this is a command this this must happen and that water is like a scalpel that water is like a watery grave that disconnects you and cuts you off from this present age and i don't know if any of you have realized it but the world's gone nuts anyone figure that out yet okay you don't belong to it anymore and the watery grave cuts you off from it eternally it it it separates you the scripture says from this perverse generation that's important amen number four number four you need to plug your life into a church that's a fancy word for a bunch of people that love jesus we'd love to have you here but if you don't feel that god is calling you here by all means find a place that does a few things number one that believes the whole bible even the stuff that is challenging it's all challenging let's just be real find a place that loves the word of god from cover to cover don't go to a place that says there are many ways to heaven in other words go to a place that believes what the bible says amen all right and you want to find a place that loves the presence of god this is why the presence of god is god you don't want to go to a church that doesn't enjoy god his word and his presence lastly i want you to make a date with the lord when you go into prayer it could happen tonight i don't know the lord has this perfect timing for this but i want you to make a date with the lord and say lord you said that if i asked you for the promise of the father that i would receive the holy spirit the very promise of the father he lives in you right now but now he wants to clothe you in his power it might look different than ben what ben just did but all of you can lead people to jesus all of you and you need the holy spirit power to accomplish that all right let me pray over you lift your hands to heaven everyone just stretch your hands father in jesus name i thank you for these souls have come to you by faith who have repented from sin now i ask you wonderful holy spirit to come upon them tangibly to come upon them tangibly that they would know that you're real i ask you to empower them i ask you to keep them i thank you lord that i will see them at the throne one day oh i like that one i thank you jesus i will see them at the throne and they will love you more on that day than they do today that they will end their life burning for your beauty in jesus name amen amen can we put the info up on the screens give the lord praise now listen carefully all right i almost said something really stupid just now i almost just said do you guys have cell phones but that's like saying do you have an arm today i want you to text more jesus there's two screens there you're going to text more jesus to that number all right now i want all of you to look at me promise me you'll do that this is not too it's not some back channeling marketing scheme it is simply to see you walk in victory with jesus amen okay you're going to text that and then uh john and jenna raise your hands this is john and jenna would you turn around and look at john and jenna we've changed our system here a little bit because of the protocols just turn around have a look at them keep your hands up john and jenna you need to find them after this look me in the eyes say i will because only ten percent of you do it okay and that's going to change tonight say i will meet john and jenna at the table that says new believers i will do that because i said i would and this is my first obedience test well we're just really quick really quickly say this i will not say this i will not lie in church there you go all right give the lord praise you can go back to your seats god bless you i can't wait to see what the lord does for you come on give the lord praise one more time hallelujah i'll give the lord praise one more time also can we thank ben for being with us tonight can we do that thank you jesus guys we can get the seats ready please if i could have the ushers we are going to quickly share for the next 20 minutes that i'm going to teach a quick word and we're going to receive communion and who knows what the lord will do while they're setting up uh i don't know where the chairs are coming from here they go oh man it's it's good to have church again isn't it i'm grateful for what the lord did last week and i'm so grateful to the precious pastors at calvary for letting us use the building uh a lot of you lined up at like 1pm and uh i was excited just to have church like family intimate church after jesus 20 and then i show up and it felt again like the second night of jesus 20. uh but wasn't that an amazing amazing night how many of you were at jesus 20 are you grateful for what the lord did come on give the lord praise it was an awesome awesome time hey guys guys guys could we bring these in a little closer please just just closer to the front here oh that was a glorious night wasn't it heaven just descended on the field and i like being outside i thought it was awesome i know some of you are uncomfortable but that makes me like it more and we need that in us don't we may the fields across america be covered with the glory of the lord amen i want to thank quickly our team our jesus school students our volunteers i want all of us to give them a hand and thank them they work so hard you guys are amazing we have the best students in the whole world i am so proud of you uh michael miller pulled me aside uh the past started up a room he pulled me aside in one of the back trailers and he said bro you're a team is like incredible he said they talk about jesus like nonstop he goes they are clearly sons and daughters of the house they sound just like you guys and they're humble i kept hearing from the student from the guest that they're humble that they're servants that makes me so so happy so i love all of you so much thank you for doing an amazing job amen amen let's give the lord praise one more time speaking of our team babe who's coming up do you want to you want to help me here uh we're going to take about the next 15 minutes to just very quickly uh share a few things with you that will be happening in the fall that are very exciting for those of you who are watching on youtube and facebook we had intended to talk about this last sunday night and at jesus 20 but in case you haven't figured that out this out yet when god comes we throw everything uh away so we're not the greatest announcement uh givers as a church we don't do very well oh i forgot the offering i forgot the offering let's give all right ushers ushers look look look look very oh and i do have a scripture the lord gave it to me today i want to read these to you ben could you grab that bro thanks you guys just have a seat right there you can be my students jesse's like i am not your student i want to read these to you these are so powerful can you put proverbs 21 26 up proverbs 21 26 i want to wait till it's on the screen and then i want to read this to you because this is all part of worship say this giving is part of my life of worship let me let me read this to you all day long he craves for more but the righteous give without sparing let me read you another one all who are willing this is exodus 35 22. all who were willing men and women alike came and brought gold jewelry of all kinds what is a brochure is that like a pin you should start wearing those earrings rings ornaments they all presented their gold as a wave offering to the lord now listen carefully i am not a get rich preacher hopefully i've proven that to you i am also not a get poverty preacher neither make you holy the reason it gets tense and quiet in moments like this is because for some reason generosity makes people uncomfortable so y'all sit you get stiff you like everything but this the church needs to be willing to be inconvenienced by god on christmas day ben and i had the privilege of driving to go pray for someone close to this building who has been given a diagnosis by the doctor they said unless you they said we can't do anything they're suffering with lung cancer they said we cannot do anything you need to figure something else out the day before i get a text from a father in the faith who you would all know he said michael can you guys do something i have a busy life jesus tony was the hardest ministry endeavor and i've done many now since 2003 that i've ever been a part of it took a piece of me i i need time to recover i haven't really had it yet so there i am waiting to just have a nice relaxing day with my family and i get a text from a father in the faith and he said is there anyone who will go to lay hands on this woman who is anointed to heal the sick can you do it over the next couple of days and i felt the lord say do it tomorrow do it on christmas day and my first response was well it's family day it's christmas day and then the lord offers this gift of inconvenience and this is what i heard the holy spirit say that morning this is what i heard him say i was incredibly inconvenienced when i was born in a manger and we're talking about the one who has no beginning in no end who dwells in unapproachable light how many think his life here on earth was a bit of an inconvenience and he didn't do it because he was sinful he did it for us right the life of christian life is a life of giving it is a life of inconvenience and so i can stand here tonight as your pastor and say at jesus image we are a generous people we do not withhold what the scriptures tell us to give and because we are his we give listen we give with an unreserved commitment and passion to see his gospel go amen i know you love jesus and i want us to do that tonight if you'd like to give by text to give there's the number right there if you're watching online we're going to ask you to continue to support jesus image i pray the lord touches you tonight and if this ministry has blessed you through media please give and continue to to stand with us and help us for those of you who have made this your church be faithful be faithful in your tithe the scripture says bring the whole tithe into the storehouse to make that clear that is the first tenth of your gross income when it comes in you bring the whole tithe i brought mine tonight people blessed me for christmas on top of what i bring in regularly i i p people gave me cash for christmas family the first thing i got which christmas was two days ago the first thing i did tonight before i got here was i wrote my check i wrote my first tent and i have it right here in my pocket that's how i want us to live in obedience to the lord amen all right for those of you who'd like to give by check or cash we have our buckets here if you'd like to give by text to give there's your info just lay your hands there on your check or cache or if it's text you won't go to hell if you lay hands on your device just whatever father in jesus name we thank you for the blessing that you have given us you have freely given us your son what good thing with you would hold and so i pray your blessing on the people we give to you because we love you tonight in the name of jesus bless your people protect i pray protect them protect them in this in these last days and don't only protect them but bless them so the gospel would flood the nations in jesus name amen amen you can come forward if you like to give cash or check and you can give my text to give right there god bless you love you [Music] is [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] me [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] is [Music] guys ushers you can grab those uh buckets god bless you and um all right well we're just gonna share a few things happening in the fall i especially just wanted you guys to hear from our heart for those of you watching on on youtube and facebook we felt like you would be excited about what's going to be happening as well so before we do that i've asked carla who is director of operations at jesus image we love carla she's awesome yeah i know that she goes and she's ryan's wife that you guys didn't know that how many of you did not know that ryan and carla are married four of them now you know forgive jessica for thinking that of you carla why don't you go ahead and just introduce everyone let them know what they do and sure so this is ryan my husband um [Applause] he oversees second year at jesus school this is dom she obviously is a part of our jesus image church family and she also is a part of house of bethany which we will be announcing more to you guys she's leading it she will be leading it yes and she sings okay decent singer this is michael okay keep keeping on hey who's this this is jessica no it's not just that this is awkward it's fine it's wonderful and tell them what jenna does this is jenna reid and she [Applause] [Music] she oversees first year at jesus school yeah all right we have the best team and uh they're wonderful here let's throw run that first video please and uh let's let's do the jesus school video and then we'll move to house of bethany please i believe that many of you are considering a deeper life of discipleship i want you to open your heart especially with you especially those of you who who are really feeling a drawing to walk closer with jesus listen to what the lord has to say here [Music] god demonstrates his own love toward us and that while we were still sinners christ died for us jesus shed his blood he died on the cross he was buried he rose again from the dead on the third day to give you life and to prove that he is the son of god who he said he was today he is seated at the right hand of the father and for those who belong to him he is interceding for them eternally and that same penis [Music] he will return in glory [Music] [Music] yeah and these are those rowdy students here chris can we do something with the base on the next video i'm worried we're going to snap femurs with that here in a second all right so babe talk about quickly what's going on in the fall jesus school and then we'll move into house of bethany um so jesus school we're biased but there's nothing like it in the world there really is nothing like jesus full so i get the honor of being the director of the school i don't like missing a day of jesus school i sit there hungry like the students when i when people are ministering because there's just such passion and hunger so if you feel called to come to jesus school we would love to have you come be with us lay down your life for a season there is nothing like it i promise you you will never regret it you'll never regret being with jesus and spending time with jesus that's one thing in life you never will regret so we'd love to have you come be with us at jesus school new semester starts in september yeah well it's coming it's coming quickly jenna can you just quickly talk about what a week and jesus school feels like yes so something that drew me and ryan into first year of jesus school is that you never know who's gonna come to jesus school so you can walk in and steph gretzinger michael or ben fitzgerald can come just pour their heart out we have worship every single day and on thursdays we have worship all day and then we go on outreach we take communion we make sure that we come together in unity by doing presence groups and small groups and it's it's a beautiful experience and that is from monday through thursday yeah so monday is really uh a deep time of connection which is what we call presence groups we feel like the the larger the ministry is by number it needs to feel smaller as far as relationship and these are really a setting for you to open your heart to the lord first and foremost and then connect deeply with people tuesdays and wednesdays are very intense teaching days and much like the church and by the way we are a church with a school we are not we are not a rogue school that's just trying to have a church i feel like the proper model is a church that has a school and the church really is the primary covering of the school and these sunday nights are an integral part of what the jesus school experience is really all about that's why we take communion it's why we worship it's why they get they receive the teaching of the word i feel like our students need to be part of the body of christ and live out that expression so tuesdays and wednesdays are our very intense teaching days i think we have the greatest teachers on planet earth uh of course i am biased unashamedly biased but one of our core values is that we never tell our students who is preaching just like we never tell you who's coming here on a sunday night we feel like that is the way to build for us this is just a personal conviction that we feel the lord has given us it helps us build in a way that is jesus directed jesus centered and it provides longevity if you build something on people's names then you need more names to keep coming and there's no guarantee that people are gathering for the lord and that means there's no guarantee of his manifest presence so we live for his presence so tuesdays and wednesdays are full on teaching the scriptures praying encounter this room becomes a very very special place thursdays as jenna said we receive communion it's our worship day i'm sure many of you watch those thursday worship moments fridays are off saturdays are off and thursdays are also becoming the community outreach day where we're feeding the poor preaching the gospel out on the streets we've had to be very creative right now just because of these the status of of what's going on but uh i'm really excited about the fact that we've been feeding the hungry uh very that's very important and uh we've been going to house of hope dion uh raise your hand dion has been leading stand up dion has been leading our evangelism the teams men of god with a great heart to win the loss and uh our students have been preaching the gospel at house of hope and helping people and i'm very very excited about that ryan talk about what what drew you here why did you come all the way from salinas california yeah so i'm i'm from the west coast california um yeah i remember i remember watching a promo video and michael's saying come and sit at the feet of jesus and and obviously the name jesus school and i'm like what other school in the whole entire world would i want to go to then jesus school honestly and you know so that it just was it was in me and i just the anticipation obviously i'm married with kids so in the natural it looked like it was possible but i knew that i had to get to orlando florida really because i needed to sit at the feet of jesus and i wanted to be with him it was just that that pull and that hunger that stayed inside of me so i talked to my wife we talked to leaders and we felt i was supposed to come by myself so i flew back and forth the lord provided airfare for me for the whole entire year to fly back every two or three weeks from salinas california not from lakeland salinas california he commuted regularly yeah and and from the very first day i was saying this the other day at jesus christ i remember just standing in front of the door seeing a jesus image sign it was just like a feather banner and i felt just the the presence of the lord come upon me thinking that oh my gosh i'm part of something that i felt was so much bigger than just my life and what you know was going on in my life i knew the lord was here and i was like i could not wait to get through the doors i did my whole first year halfway through the first year of jesus school me and my wife were praying about coming here and i felt the call of the lord to to uproot my family i mean we lived across the street from my mom my sister they were all in the natural we had a house we had a home you know i was working full-time back it just looked like this was not in the natural what was what i should have done and so with that i uh i living in jesus school and being in his presence i felt man there's nothing greater than raising my kids in the presence of the lord bringing my wife over and i knew that as a young boy this is something that i dreamed of and believed on and since i was young and so me and my wife said yes after numerous confirmations um in fact right after we said yes i was at a a meeting and jessica called me up on stage she actually she she uh prophesied over me she prayed over me she it literally confirmed everything that the lord was telling me um about coming to jesus school and just living in the presence of god so my family came over god provided a job a home for us here there was a grace that fell in our lives we started loving the church loving the people loving the state and there is no greater place to be the jesus school yeah it's amazing florida's the best buddies no marine layer none of that it's just wonderful yeah we're glad you came carla what was that like while ryan was here you were at home with the children why would you do something like that it sounds completely out there um because the lord asked me to um you know when ryan got saved um you know our story is is you know just really just about the goodness of the lord but um you know after the opportunity came up to send him to school you know that was what i had prayed for i wanted him to walk in everything that the lord had had for him and for our family and so when jesus said i need you to do this i said okay it's amazing sorry you're crying wow so you stayed home with the kids and yeah i worked a full-time job our youngest was three months old when ryan left so yeah but it was beautiful the um the lord's presence was with me so much through that year even though it was the hardest year that i walked through just doing it all um he was so tangible with me there are moments that i still cling to now wow and [Applause] ryan waited fable you were a server here you worked two jobs and you worked in a greek restaurant and that's when you felt the glory come on changed everything right you'll never eat average food again you ate what jesus ate now you feel better yeah it was amazing yeah so uh i'm so proud of you guys it's really beautiful it really is uh babe details what what do the people think about school about school what do they need to know carla's our detailed girl registration early whatever's going on yeah so right now um we've slashed our application fees down until january 15th it will be 20 20 it's down from 40 and if you apply to jesus school before february 1st you will receive two hundred dollars off of your tuition so it takes the tuition down to uh 3 750 yeah that's robbery but i'll let you all do it okay all right anything else they need to know where can they do that where do they need to go to do that yes so if you go to jesus school dot tv and then if you're watching on the live stream it will be commented in the comments below so just check your feed all right amazing anything else all right what else is do did you want to say something no i was just going to say no matter what you want to do with life an evangelist preacher if you don't feel called to ministry but you're like i just want to raise my kids well this is the place for you to come and be with jesus because that will sustain you forever you could preach the biggest crusades in the world but if you don't have peace with jesus and rest if you don't really know him like ben was talking about it's all meaningless so that's why we created jesus school because we want people i i want our students to come 50 years from now and i want to see them having thriving families and great marriages and preaching the gospel yeah it's not just for the evangelist or the preacher it's for everyone that wants to know jesus more that's why we can you just talk uh yeah about who's the how old is the oldest person we ever accepted i think we accepted someone that was like 85 which i thought i don't think 85. she was up there but she was 80 she was she was older she was very seasoned we loved her she was it was i was so happy when she applied and that's probably what we get asked the most and was going to be there on time and i told her i said you know what i love you we need you because if a little hipster student tells me they're too busy to get here three miles away i want you to drive from melbourne just to convict them i think they need that she's like i'll be there sweetie i'll be there on time and then the youngest is obviously 18. we just asked that you'd be over 18 but if you can be 89 90 95 just come on come be with jesus 100 120 yes and teach us your secrets if you're 120 and come to us yes okay all right next this is part of jesus school but we wanted to release this to this to our local church family and to those who watch so regularly around the world house of bethany will launch as part of jesus school this is our worship academy that will launch we received a prophetic word oh 2017 from lou engel and others about their being the greatest worshipers and musicians coming and this began to stir in our hearts back then this will flush out and become a reality here in the fall so let's go ahead and run that second video you'll hear the heart of it [Music] in 2017 we received a word from lou engel that we really believe is the word of the lord for our school our house and the entire ministry lou said that the greatest musicians in the world and the greatest vocalist in the world the greatest worshipers that they would descend upon orlando florida to jesus image and that word began to burn in us and we began to dream about what it would look like to one day have a school where people would come to worship jesus and be in his presence and receive his word and a church was birthed in that same worshipping atmosphere and what a beautiful opportunity that we have as a jesus people to come before him and to be at his feet and to pour ourselves out before him worship has the potential to unlock things that really nothing else in the world can unlock and so we decided about a year ago to launch a an opportunity within the jesus school setting for those worshipers for the musicians for the singers for the dancers for the artists for the poets this is going to be a place where you can come and you can learn and you can grow we have highly trained instructors who are going to be coming they're going to be teaching instruments they're going to be teaching vocals anything that you can think of with worship it's going to be there the worship is not about us we worship for him so we want to invite you to come come worship the king of kings with us so come and be a part of what the lord is doing come and give your heart to the lord come and surrender yourself to the lord and let's be ones that are willing to rise and grow and we decided to name it after bethany that wonderful house where jesus was ministered to that place where the feelings of jesus were preeminent it was a place where he desired to not only move and work and teach and do wonderful things but a place where he would be adored a place where he would rest a place where he would run to so that he would receive ministry and so now jesus school has this space that's been created for all of you who are desiring to use your vocal gifts your instrumental gifts your gifts of worship and dancing gifts and give them to jesus [Music] wow come on i'm gonna just quickly say a few things and then dom you'll torch our faces with fire knowing you uh obviously dom will be running it and she actually had a very profound dream how long ago was that almost three years ago and i'll let her share that dream but why why house of bethany number one bethany is a place where jesus reclined where he rested and if we're going to be a house of presence we must be a house of worship a true house of worship if we're going to be a school of presence we must be a true school of worship it's important that we realize worship is unto nothing but the lord himself so we don't worship to have a chur a better church we don't worship so people can get saved in fact people get saved so that they might worship we worship because he is worthy of worship so the bible says that we are the sheep of his pastor it's why we worship him so in this the word bethany by the way means house of poverty not social poverty internal poverty that's why jesus reclined there it was really a house that was so desperate for jesus that they felt dead if he wasn't there it was also a house where resurrection power flowed because jesus raised his friend lazarus from the dead in bethany it's this merry heart jesus said this this what she's done this worship of me her sitting at my feet and just loving me this will be told everywhere the gospel is ever preached for some reason gospel preaching uh i don't know why has disconnected in many settings from this life of intimacy and it should not in fact ben said something beautifully i think at jesus 20 that never again will the winning of souls and worship be separate that evangelist that we are worshiping people before we are preaching people that's who we are every christian is called to worship and so this will be a setting to make room for those who want to dance under the lord i want to learn to write songs that people will be singing long after you're gone and gone home to be with the glory or in glory should the lord terry this is a place for the dancer i'm so grateful for natasha and amy the way they minister the lord they carry something that unleashes something powerful here in this atmosphere i want to make room for those who feel pulled in these directions these those who want to write unto the lord and sing unto the lord and place skillfully unto the lord so we have some incredible bruce hughes who is my father-in-law's lead pianist for still is my word i think he's been with him for 220 years but it's amazing like since the 70s yeah how many of you were not born in the 70s okay well bruce was their plan uh jesse and i will be teaching my primary call is worship my primary call is ministering to the lord everybody's primary call is to minister to the lord jesse's dad will be teaching uh in the bethany house of bethany academy it's going to be incredible steph will forever be a consistent voice stephanie gretzinger she wants to be a consistent voice she's excited to be a consistent voice john wilde's is on it's going to be phenomenal courtney our cellist as we speak she sent me a video is drafting the curriculum and the course plan as we speak we're talking about training people she was trained at a very high level in my opinion there's nobody like court on the strings she is absolutely phenomenal it's really court who directed and got pastor wally involved with the choir i literally called court last year before jesus 19. i said i want to acquire because there's choirs in heaven make it happen and she said you got it and then you guys materialized and here we are and by the way was the choir not dripping with the presence of god jesus 20. court will be here on a consistent basis and dom will be leading and many more and many more this is important because we have to blend excellence and never lose the reason for our worship his presence period worship is unto nothing but the presence of the lord amen and that's that's why i felt like it needed to be called house of bethany dom quickly just talk about uh that dream you had and what you're trusting the lord to do yeah yeah yeah um i remember a couple years ago the lord started calling me deeper into worship and just speaking to me about the importance of pure purity pure of heart pure worship before the lord and how it's it's becoming more and more rare to find ones that are just willing to come before the lord and i it was a very very simple i just remember um i was learning about martha and mary um and i had where i saw this big white board and i just saw myself writing the words bethany and i called michael i was like what does this mean like i didn't know what it meant and you sat for an hour on the phone and just described wow really yes like it was insane i don't do that much yeah um and it's just it was so beautiful you talked about the house of poverty and what that meant and talked about how jesus was uh that was where he could rest and everything he just said you talked about that and i was in shock and so i just said lord let your will be done i didn't know what that meant and then you saw it on a dry erase board like in a classroom yeah yeah and i i i don't you didn't know there'd be a school no i that was three years ago before even before jesus school started and i just was like lord you just must be teaching me about mary and uh and then when you said hey dom we're gonna do this i was like oh my gosh i just how the lord's hand is on everything when it's truly the lord's hand you can't make it happen yourself nor do you want to make it happen yourself ever and this is not a place where we're gonna come and be noticed or be seen because it never was about us nor will it ever be about us and the fact that jesus paid the highest price for us to be a kingly priesthood before him and he is our great high priest we need to take this so seriously that the honor that we have to come before him and to not to just sing to him or ministering to his heart like like mary did and how mary knew when to not be distracted before him and she knew when when her savior was in the room she knew how to respond and that's something that we're going to learn there is not how to just be excellent which is extremely important we want to be good stewards with what the lord has given us we want to prove ourselves faithful and obedient trustworthy but we also there there are enough superstars out there there are enough people out there and the lord is looking he is looking for those in this hour in these end times for ones that are willing to lay everything down to pay that that cost of just surrender before him and not to worry about who's watching us or who's listening but that we have the greatest honor and privilege to come and worship and it's not just for those that are that have a microphone this is we want to be a people like how he said where's mary yeah i personally want to hear where's dom yeah where is where is jesus image worship where is this were these worshipers that that are not worried about being seen or heard where are the ones that when everything is going crazy that they trust me and they'll just get at my feet and that's the kind of worship that we want to learn and we want to grow in and we want to be what he bled and died for so that we can worship him in spirit and truth because we're going to worship forever in heaven and right now we just want to echo what they're doing in heaven yes yeah wow well there you go that's why dom's leading that was amazing you literally just said everything i wanted to share tonight that was so good no don't be sorry that was awesome that was awesome so this track will be babe this academy will be part of the school yeah you have to be attending jesus school to be part of the worship academy um can i just say why the worship world desperately needs people who know this book and are living a solid christian life desperately sorry go ahead that's why we did that yeah we want to be able to know our worshipers you know that's really important so you do have to be a part of jesus school this will be an additional fee but much cheaper than the tuition and how many hours a week carla well the details were still going to work out yeah but we're basically looking at thursday and friday exactly but it is part of the jesus school track so you feel if you want to come to jesus school and be a worshiper come do it all it'll be awesome there's a place for you now amen amen can we give the lord praise all right would you let them know you love them yeah so good ushers could we get this [Music] please exciting isn't it i said exciting i think the new missionary looks like a wholehearted worshiper four of you agree here babe joel can you help me please my friend let's just close our eyes for a second we won't be long i'm gonna talk to you for a little bit and then we'll receive communion we're going to receive communion every week does that sound good we're going to come to the table of the lord every week and let's pray father we thank you for your word now speak deeply sear it into our spirits renew our minds draw us closer to jesus change us tonight in jesus name amen i'm going to begin teaching the word and i'm going to ask that unless it's an emergency you don't move can you just pray in the spirit for 30 seconds this is why it strengthens the inner man and it sets your heart up to receive something deeper than prior so just go ahead go ahead pray in the spirit i want to hear you out loud out loud pray in the spirit hallelujah keep going keep going oh just just let the lord begin to move you in your homes begin to pray in the spirit right there in your house amen okay i want to talk to you tonight about worshipping in spirit and truth thank you joel i'm good for now just stay close buddy uh i've been in this vein now for about five weeks regarding pure worship and there's a great divide taking place right now in the kingdom the church in many ways and in many places has bought into the lie that it exists to give people everything they want and so you actually build church in a way that you know people are going to like so that they attend therefore without knowing you offer your worship to their attendance rather than to jesus himself so i mean we've timed worship we've actually timed it like down in the minute because we we what we're really declaring is that we know god only likes it for 27 minutes you were saying i did i've never heard this but tell me if i'm lying and uh we want holy ghost power without holy ghost ministry we want god to work for us but we've worshiped the clock so we say things like this what i mean it's really all about souls it's really not all about souls it's all about jesus and then he saved souls nobody here on their best day can save a soul go try without the spirit of the lord you will quickly discover i need you lord before the lord fell on me in power i was out ministering on the streets in laguna beach i was so filled with fear that i stalked a 75 year old man for an hour because he looked like he wouldn't be mean to me he had a little gilligan's island hat on you remember gillian he helped gilligan remember gilligan he had this cool little little fold-out chair and he was sitting on a little hill overlooking the pacific ocean and i said there's no way that guy will be mean to me so i stalked him and i stared at him for an hour and finally i mustered up the courage in myself to go share jesus with him and as i got from about myself to jess to the man after working through every internal issue i was carrying before i i went i went to say hey sir and i was gonna say do you know jesus and before i could get do you know out he whipped out a gospel track and asked me if i wanted to be born again that's when you know you're bad at what you're doing [Applause] that's when you know you're horrible when you can't even find the lost when the guy you're trying to get saved after hours of hunting and stalking him tries to get you saved you realize something very quickly it is not by might it is not by power it is by my spirit so we use these things in the church context and say well we we keep it this way so people will get saved but god saves so the church evidently can be franchised you can work the model and work the system and when the goal post moves in other words when when the wind is not determined properly according to the scriptures success looks like people in the seats rather than jesus in the room if people in the seats were biblical success that means every packed out hedonistic pagan rock concert would be successful if numbers determined success that means the cross was unsuccessful jesus's crowds in galilee were much bigger than those at the foot of the cross the calvary and calvary was not a failure the resurrection was not a failure when it was just mary there just one success is him him the actual hymn so we've been going down this road what does it mean to worship the lord what is he looking for revelation 22 verse 17 i want to talk about the spirit and the bride in line with god redefining and rebirthing something beautiful in worship he's doing it now he's doing it in our generation and i'm telling you the line of demarcation is becoming more and more clear this is a choose this day who you will serve type of moment you can sing a christian song and be filled with yourself which is being like the devil while you're using christian lyrics put your seatbelt on that was just the nice part revelation 22 17 and the spirit and the bride say come i want you to say spirit and the bride say come and let him who here say come and let him who thirsts come whoever desires let him take the water of life freely here we see the partnership the deep relationship between the spirit and the bride and i want you to remember those two words say the spirit and the bride let me talk to you about how the spirit is moving with relationship to the bride what is the spirit the holy spirit's main objective in our lives believe it or not what it is not is having a big crowd at jesus 20. though i'm grateful for everyone who came and got saved and healed the miracles were ridiculous they're still coming in yes thank you jesus they brought hope and and and and the gospel was preached and god moved but but ultimately god's chief objective is not to give us a big meeting romans 8 28-30. what is the spirit doing in the bride what is his purpose listen to this verse 28-30 romans chapter 8 and we know that all things work together for good to those who love god that's bridal talk it's his love talk to those who are called are the called according to his purpose for whom he foreknew he also predestined why to be conformed into the image of his son that he might be the firstborn among many brethren how does that happen here we go moreover whom he predestined these he also called whom he called these he also justified and whom he justified these he glorified what does it mean to be terrified it means you're filled with terror you've become terror what does it mean to be glorified it means that jesus himself has been infused into your being until you've become like him god predestined us called us justified us and glorifies in us for a reason that we would be conformed into the image of jesus what is the spirit's chief objective in us to make us like jesus say this the holy spirit number one goal in my life is to make me like jesus okay now that that's a big deal because that means he can do what i don't always enjoy are you ready for a crazy one he can say no to me what a shocker here's another one god can tell jessica what to do and not feel bad about it god can tell you what to do god can ask you to do things that stretch you that challenge you are you ready that inconvenience you because he has a bigger goal in mind the bigger goal is not the immediate breakthrough do you know why god gives some people influence because in the natural they don't enjoy it you missed that if god can take someone who is an introvert for example this is an example who's an introvert who is not rejuvenated by being around a large crowd in fact it's actually part of the cross he's given them if god can get glory out of that person he gets a lot of glory because somebody comes around and asks a person that question how did this happen to those who are aware of their own weakness they go i i have no idea it was the lord but if you can give someone the 20 reasons why god is using you you need to get back on your knees if you're so convinced of your amazing capabilities you're convinced of strength not weakness the greatest challenge for me personally in hosting the events or the growth of the church or the school is the growth itself i still miss saint andrews that little building as more at home not with it's nothing to do with you it just has to do with my makeup i mean you don't play golf and fish because you like hanging out with a lot of people neither require people and you can hit a golf ball as hard as you want you can hit into a lake it will never talk to you it bounces off a tree don't scream at you you can do anything to a golf ball and they just they don't lie however you hit them they curve my golf coaches say golf ball never lies it'll do only what you what you tell it to do and fish i kiss them when i release them they don't ever talk back to me it's wonderful i i enjoy all this but sometimes listen in fact all the time when favor comes god has a bigger purpose in mind than the momentary visible favor the greater purpose is i'm making you like my son so to some of you who want the stadium i will have a stadium because i am a stadium man i am stadium man whatever that looks like i'm the great missionary some of you want the platform you won't worship here in the room because you're examining everybody else thinking i should be up there that's why you're not that's exactly why you're not does anybody here know what oh gosh the married men are going to go i totally know does anyone here know what a back seat driver is the j-dog tells me all the time baby the brakes the brakes you have slow reflexes and and then she'll move it into i am way quicker than you i'm like you're you're quicker than me now she'd be like yeah my reflexes are way faster than yours i'm like baby i love you but that's not true backseat driver how about those of you um do you did you have an uncle say i grew up greek so they a lot of my uncles and family you know the guys i grew up with they wore those white tank tops you know and greek eyes are not exactly just baby smooth when it comes to body hair you know and they didn't cut their carbs so they had the little there was no keto back then you ever watch big fat greek wedding that's how i grew up identical to that the only thing that is foreign to me i've never seen is the windex but that's not to say it's not true it just wasn't an art family but you had that you know i'd sit there with my friends or my grandfather or my uncle you know and he'd have a bag a bowl of chips out and some popcorn and he's on his recliner with the belly and when it gets big enough you don't even need the tv tray you just put it on the belly all right and we'd be watching a game and john elway is playing or peyton manning or tom brady or tiger woods is putting and misses a putt and there's your uncle who hasn't showered in four days who didn't make a team who at best was the water boy he starts telling tiger your uncle can't he's not even held a golf club he wouldn't know what it was if you gave it to him he'd probably scratch his back with it so he wouldn't have to move off the off the recliner he starts telling tiger well if i were tiger putting an eight-footer to win the masters i would do this wow and in the back of your little head you're growing up you're going but uncle you're not tiger you don't look like tiger you're definitely not tiger that's what the church does we kill our wounded we judge those who take risk and we're convinced of our own ability but god can't trust us to put us in the game because we're aware of us convinced of us we've got our list as to why leaders have made mistakes and not raising us up but the bible says promotion cometh from above do you know if it comes from above there's nothing below that can take it you can relinquish it but there's not a demon in hell who can steal it if jesus gives it to you and that's why he does these things with the weak not to do something incredible before people no it is to make us more like jesus say it again the holy spirit prime objective is to make me like jesus here's the question why why i'm going gonna introduce a word here that's been a theme now for the last six weeks why does he purify us why i i feel that this last revival we talk about a jesus new jesus movement jesus people i don't think it's going to be marked by a bunch of long hairs if you have long hair god bless you i love you aaron you look amazing it's not going to be a reenactment of the 70s on beaches it won't be marked with these scenes i think it's going to be marked by bridal purity yeah millions will be born again absolutely i'm all in that's why we do our events why i'm on outreach it's why we do what we do but i have a feeling if this is going to be about jesus the church is going to start looking like him why purity you mark my words purity will be at the it'll be at the forefront why purity what does that have to do with worship what is purity if you're drinking pure water that means there's only one substance in the bottle listen carefully as i begin to remove other substances the water becomes more pure i don't need to add more water to this bottle to make it more pure i just need to take out listen up what is not water and as i do that this water becomes more single say single say less complicated say less mixture so jesus and according to the book of hosea is adultery what the lord is looking for in a people is this that if he takes the scalpel to your bone marrow to the depths of your soul one word drips out jesus so the more questions that come your way you have one answer how do i have a good marriage jesus he's the third fold in the court how do i get rid of this disease jesus he's the healer of my disease what is the answer for racial reconciliation jesus the one who draws all men to the foot of the cross who's made us all but one what's the answer to sin or who is the answer to sin jesus the one who destroys the yoke who is my eternal security found in jesus the author and finisher of my faith i don't have any faith don't pursue faith pursue him who is your faith and the bride has this thing about her where her heart is on a swivel and wherever she looks she sees him and she has discovered that he and he alone gives her life therefore she has no other answer this is bridal talk this is love talk i rarely see a groom who is called to marry the girl coming down the aisle not if they're not i see it all the time but i rarely see a groom who knows god sent that girl to him and she knows god sent that man to her rarely have i seen them filled with distraction they're just staring the bride looks at him the whole way down the aisle and that's what this life is it's walking down the aisle into the marriage is consummated in glory do you want to know something amazing you know who gives who will give the bride away to jesus the father all fathers give the bride away this is purity it's the removal of foreign substance but why is she being purified you got to get the why because if you can get the why you will yield to it listen carefully it is oftentimes challenging and painful you know how dross is removed from silver it is burned the bible speaks of a purity that is seven times pure did it literally a life goes into the fire until all the draws the foreign metal is removed from the pure silver and silver speaks of redemption in other words i've been redeemed so that i might be like him so why are we purified by the spirit you want to know because your husband is pure um and jesus only marries like kind he is not married to the sinner we are being purified because he is pure there's a goal in mind do you know why you've received his nature and lost the old nature of the devil who's a deceiver from the beginning do you know why you've received this godly nature in you so you might be one with him you're being purified for a reason worship is being purified for a reason what's more at odds what makes less sense than a prideful preacher or a prideful worship leader how is it that worship became a musical industry merchandised when it was always supposed to be about love say i've received this nature that i might be one with him how do we receive his nature second peter one two through four how many of you want to be more like jesus lift your hand this is how the holy spirit will do it are you enjoying this second peter 1 verses 2 through 4. grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of god and of jesus our lord as his divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness through the knowledge of him who called us by glory and virtue listen carefully by which have been given to us say to me exceedingly great and precious promises that through these you might be partakers of the divine nature having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust oh the word of god listen carefully the word of god the promises of god the scriptures infuse me with the nature of my husband with the nature of the heavenly bridegroom so our husband is holy first peter 1 verse 13 through 16. same chapter i'm sorry it's one book prior chapter 1 verses 13 through 16. we're going to move fast here you don't have to turn there just trust me make sure it's on the screen we're gonna we're gonna move quickly here therefore gird up the loins of your mind be sober and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of jesus christ as obedient children not conforming yourselves to the former lusts to your old life as in your ignorance but as he who called you is holy you also be holy in your conduct because it is written be holy why but why for i am holy why should the church be holy because her husband is holy hopefully nobody here would marry a moose you never know these days why well it's not like kind is it the lord is looking listen up for people who look like him you know why a wedding is coming oh man a wedding is coming i said a wedding is coming habakkuk 1 113 habakkuk 1 13 you are of pure eyes than to behold evil and you cannot look upon wickedness now pure is the lord he can't even look at wickedness hopefully you're there going i don't know what to do well you don't have to do it that's the good news the good news is is that we can't make ourselves holy how holy is he first timothy 6 16 who alone has immortality dwelling in inapproachable light whom no man has seen or can see to whom be honor and everlasting power amen he who dwells in unapproachable light i sent that to my father-in-law i guess he uh talked about it on his facebook page that here's this baby in a manger who dwelled in an unapproachable light the glory of the incarnation what do we do what is the answer we need the holy spirit genesis 24 verses 2 through 6. let me read these to you so abraham said to the oldest servant of his house who ruled over all that he had please put your hand under my thigh and i will make you swear by the lord the god of heaven and the god of earth that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the canaanites among whom i dwell but you shall go to my country and to my family and take a wife for my son isaac and the servant said to him perhaps the woman will not be willing to follow me to this land must i take your son back to the land from which you came but abraham said to him beware that you do not take my son back there hear the servant listen up give me ten more minutes here the servant is a type and shadow of the spirit the humble spirit notice here he is the eldest servant in the house of abraham this is pointing to the fact that the spirit is eternal and has no beginning and no end here the servant's job is to find a bride for isaac today the holy spirit has a job that he gladly accomplishes not like people who go to work and can't wait to get it over with he thinks jesus is phenomenal and because of that he is performing something on the earth that is glorious and this is what it is he's finding a bride for the eternal isaac jesus himself and this is why when he finds her he adorns her with gold what happens to us when we're born again but we come to jesus by the spirit and all of a sudden we're adorned with goals this speaks of the gifts of the spirit he comes bearing gifts so that we would look beautiful listen up when he sees us interestingly enough the servant says what if she won't come with me do i still go don't miss this abraham says yeah still go the father today knows many will say no the father knows many will not come with the spirit to meet the husband but the father still says go what a loving father help me a little bit very softly what a loving father but abraham says something very important whatever you do don't take don't take do not go to where i came from in other words my son will not marry my former life do not go back there if she says no i only want you to find a bride from my family's people the holy spirit is only looking for the bride in god's family it tells me something jesus will not marry the world what i mean by the world is the system the antichrist babylon you stay there he will not marry you see we want him to erase our sin but we don't want him to erase our own will we'd like him to blot out our trespass because heaven sounds beautiful but giving him my moment is a different story i want eternal security but i want to live like i want to live now friend your eternal security is like shifting sand proof that your eternity is secure is that your now is yielded it's the spirit who is apprehending the bride for the sake of jesus's reward so that's why we see this relationship between the spirit and the bride the spirit and the bride are saying come without the spirit there is no bride without the spirit the bride has no call there's no yearning there's no pulling on the bridegroom to come oh this is wonderful and so as a family as a church i have felt the lord stir me to protect what is holy here i just want to say this will never be a place for you to come and get all the attention we will love you we will walk with you we will put our hands on you when the devil comes to steal your life we will anoint you with oil we will baptize your children we will we will fight we will get into the mud we will disciple you we will teach you what we've been freely given but this will never ever be the place for you to come get attention and be weird you say dude you're going to shrink your church that's part of building one jesus actually looked at his disciples and said are you leaving he said you have to eat my flesh and drink my blood or you have no life they left him and he said that without a disclaimer and without giving them a concordance he just said it and stared at them and they left they said this saying is too hard they left jesus didn't chase them he knew he could only build with what was pure mixture had to be eliminated that's why we need to learn when to call out in a moment and when not and if people are offended when we say please don't do that right now the offense is not our issue but i will protect the glory the glory and the anointing are so different different the anointing is a gift the glory is tended to it's tended to it requires sensitivity you're tending to the garden as adam did there's a moisture issue you're creating a habitation by the spirit we have to know when it's time to stand up in the presence of god what this is not is a soaking convention i'm not saying if you're tired that you shouldn't sit down i'm not saying any of that i'm not saying but i am saying when the king comes in the room i want my body to express it you say what about all this it's all in the word but but the church has done something totally different the church has become all about people when the church only touches people when it's all about jesus what could ben and i bring in our natural ability so that woman outside of supernatural power flowing through our body the reality is we only know what knew what to do because it was here but at the end of the day in our own strength those tumors will mock you we have to learn how to live with god listen to me we have to learn how to live with the lord some people only some not all but some cry out in the most inappropriate moments because they want the whole place to know they're there and sometimes i'm just gonna sit this one through i'm gonna sit through worship to get to the sermon you obey your body not realizing your body was meant to be given as a sacrifice this will never be listen jeremiah heard his bone shake amen i've never heard my bone shake but i have been shaken by god physically i will never mock it i have had it it was embarrassing and god needed to embarrass me because years ago i had mocked somebody who shook and god shook me like a leaf for four hours publicly and when i said why are you doing this he said because you need to die and today i'm going to bury you you're going to get up with a limp weakness daniel fell as though dead before the angel of the lord amen i'm in the early church accused of being drunk not because they were speaking with new tongues if i started speaking polish right now would you say this guy's hammered no you'd say i'm amazingly smart why why were they accused of being drunk because they were possessed by the holy spirit and oftentimes that looks like something do not misunderstand me but as a pastor my job is to walk the tightrope between letting god move and keeping demonic and fleshy fleshly manifestations out and i just want to say you need to avail your heart and be open to that correction if you're going to learn to walk in the presence there is a way to walk as a family in the presence of god and you don't just get to do whatever you want to do in god's house if that's not what god is doing and it's hurt the church in many ways it's hurt when god does it there's substance there's beauty there's an awareness of the spirit there people say well look what happened to daniel well bro your life better look like daniel daniel was thrown into a lion's den we are going to have to learn how to live with god how to camp with god never forget this and this is how i'm going to close unfortunately for you samson sins with delilah he relinquishes the anointing the glory that's why it was his hair he relinquishes the glory his captors come and he says oh i know what i'll do i'll just shake him off like i used to so he shook he engaged in a physical manifestation thinking that the physical manifestation creates the spiritual atmosphere oh no no no it is the spirit who animates us and this is what he discovered in his own strength he was led to captivity and the first thing they did is bind him that sin and gouged out his eyes he lost the vision of god and god in his mercy gave him his hair back but he was forever blind listen up you lose the glory when that anointing returns it doesn't mean you can see you need to be humble enough to be led even though your hair's growing back i just want to say publicly here we will receive the broken we will receive the sick we will receive those who've messed up their marriages we will receive those who are confused those who are bound those who left those who have screwed up this will be a hospital for the hurting but it will not be a place where weirdness is consistent it will be a place where the glory dwells this is what this is and i just want to tell you this is who we are it's what we're going to be and if that does something in your soul this is a place for you i want people to hear it online i do i love you i want you to come and get saved and healed and filled with the spirit but i want you to hear me around the world this will not be a place to descend to show off to be bizarre do you know you can say the right thing and be filled with the devil that's what happened to the apostle paul that little divining woman she said these are the servants of the most high god for days she was declaring truth and filled with a demon and i want the devil to know and i want heaven to know that we take his glory very very very seriously here if it lives listen up if it lives it may never return i want all of you who love this this house this school to listen to me if it lives if he lives he may never come that way again more importantly listen up then you laying hands on people is you being humble enough to leave the room if we ask you to because we gave our word to a place that we would are you hearing me you know what god is looking for foot washers not mercenaries why did he choose mary what was it about her who does he give grace to the humble who does he resist the proud that's who we are here let's take communion very quickly we won't rush through it may i have the elements please is that okay is that all right you still love me i deeply love you for all of you who are watching who are part of jesus school online

amen can we give the lord praise come on give the lord praise god bless you we'll see you sunday i hope you know i love you and that's why i'm preaching this to you love you so much we'll see you sunday night [Music] in 2017 we received a word from lewingle that we really believe is the word of the lord for our school our house and the entire ministry lou said that the greatest musicians in the world and the greatest vocalist in the world the greatest worshipers that they would descend upon orlando florida to jesus image and that word began to burn in us and we began to dream about what it would look like to one day have a school where people would come to worship jesus and be in his presence and receive his word and a church was birthed in that same worshiping atmosphere and what a beautiful opportunity that we have as a jesus people to come before him and to be at his feet and to pour ourselves out before him worship has the potential to unlock things that really nothing else in the world can unlock and so we decided about a year ago to launch a an opportunity within the jesus school setting for those worshipers for the musicians for the singers for the dancers for the artists for the poets this is going to be a place where you can come and you can learn and you can grow and we have highly trained instructors who are going to be coming they're going to be teaching instruments they're going to be teaching vocals anything that you can think of with worship it's going to be there the worship is not about us we worship for him so we want to invite you to come come worship the king of kings with us so come and be a part of what the lord is doing come and give your heart to the lord come and surrender yourself to the lord and let's be ones that are willing to rise and go and we decided to name it after bethany that wonderful house where jesus was ministered to that place where the feelings of jesus were preeminent it was a place where he desired to not only move and work and teach and do wonderful things but a place where he would be adored a place where he would rest a place where he would run to so that he would receive ministry and so now jesus school has this space that's been created for all of you who are desiring to use your vocal gifts your instrumental gifts your gifts of worship and dancing gifts and give them to jesus that jesus would make this a bethany will you make our lives a bethany where you come and press and recline among you were created to experience the presence of god in a way that will transform your life family and the world we understand how difficult it can be to find time to attend a school where you study the word of god grow in your faith and build a community of believers [Music] and that's why we
