00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,000 If y'all don't know it 118 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,000 We're pastors at Bridge Church in Fredericksburg 119 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,000 Check us out bridgefbg.com 120

by some people's terms 132 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,000 But he said the chemo wasn't working 133 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,000 The traditional medicine wasn't working at all 134 00:03:44,000 -->

with both the Currys 637 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:51,000 This time 638 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,000 Tina and Adam 639 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,000 To this cool Bavarian restaurant in town 640

you could hear all kinds of stuff 651 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,000 For sure 652 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,000 I thought I heard something through my headphones 653 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,000 Yeah 654 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,000 Anyway 655 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,000 You look pretty without headphones on 656 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,000 Is this for the camera? 657 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,000 I had 658 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,000 Well 659 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,000 I have a lot of appointments today 660 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:21,000 My hair is so fine 661 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,000 You didn't want to get the rut through the top of your hair 662 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,000 It will bend all of my hair 663 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,000 I know 664 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,000 You actually just did 665 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,000 When you just bent your hair 666 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,000 When you did that 667 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,000 Did I just bend it? 668 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,000 It looks funny 669 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,000 Sorry, does it still look 670 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,000 No, no, you're beautiful 671 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,000 So anyway, great time 672 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,000 So let's do 673 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,000 This is what we do, Faith 674 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,000 This is what we do 675 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,000 Our daughters in the room, cringing 676 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,000 Half the time people were telling us 677 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,000 Go get a room 678 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,000 Because he's just like 679 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,000 You're so beautiful 680 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,000 You're so beautiful 681 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,000 You're so funny 682 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,000 Hotness 683 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,000 So let's talk about 684 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,000 We were having a conversation yesterday 685 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,000 So we had our Sabbath on Monday 686 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,000 And so we go to the gym always 687 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,000 That's kind of one of our things, therapeutic 688 00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,000 We're coming out of the gym 689 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,000 And you had listened to Pastor Robert Morris 690 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,000 I had listened to his message 691 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,000 His Sunday message 692 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,000 He just wrote a book called Grace Period 693 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,000 Which I haven't read 694 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,000 But he's preaching off of that book 695 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:14,000 And I started thinking about how many people 696 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,000 We know in our sphere of influence 697 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:22,000 People that are Christians 698 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,000 People that are in the church 699 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,000 People that are listening on the broadcast 700 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:31,000 Who don't have a real understanding of grace 701 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,000 There is a movement out there that I believe is off 702 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,000 That 703 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,000 We agree on this 704 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,000 That grace says you can just do whatever you want 705 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,000 Why would I want to do whatever I want? 706 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,000 Why wouldn't I want to do what pleases my Father? 707 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:50,000 And he really nails it in this first part 708 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,000 Of the series of four that he's preaching 709 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,000 And really talks about grace and what it means 710 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,000 And he said something interesting 711 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,000 He said most people when they first get saved 712 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,000 They know they got saved by grace 713 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,000 Because they're in the middle of their sin basically 714 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,000 They're sinful beings 715 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:12,000 And we ask Jesus to come into our life 716 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,000 Be our Lord and Savior 717 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,000 And we know it's the grace of God 718 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,000 That brought us to salvation 719 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:23,000 But it's later on in our walk with Jesus 720 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,000 When we began to mix law and grace 721 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:33,000 Where we can believe 99% of the time 722 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,000 We can believe that we're saved by grace 723 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,000 But there's something in us that turns to where we think 724 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,000 We have to earn something 725 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:45,000 And I lock in it to like for one like a birthday party 726 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,000 Like we go to a birthday party 727 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,000 And everybody brings you presents 728 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,000 Okay 729 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,000 Now did you earn that present? 730 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,000 No they're giving it to you because they love you 731 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,000 And it's your birthday 732 00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:58,000 Right 733 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,000 He didn't use this analogy 734 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,000 I just kind of came up with it earlier 735 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,000 Way to go 736 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,000 Preach 737 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:09,000 But so much so many of us think that we 738 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:13,000 Yeah we received grace when we got saved 739 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,000 We received God 740 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,000 God is full of grace 741 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:16,000 That's who he is 742 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,000 But then later on we feel like okay 743 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:22,000 I got to do this because I got to please him 744 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,000 Or you can go the total opposite 745 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,000 I don't have to do anything because I'm saved 746 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,000 What does it matter? 747 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,000 You know I mean grace is there 748 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,000 There's always extremes on either end of the spectrum 749 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,000 There is 750 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:36,000 That's the danger zone when you're so far one way 751 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,000 That you can't even see the other end of the spectrum 752 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,000 Right 753 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,000 Because you're so far off there 754 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,000 You're in an extreme and that's unhealthy 755 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,000 Yes 756 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,000 And it's dangerous 757 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:47,000 Yes 758 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,000 So we've known people and I've been attacked online a lot 759 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,000 A lot 760 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,000 Even in church I've had people come to me and go 761 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,000 You're mixing law and grace 762 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,000 I'm like can you just define that for me because 763 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,000 No because what they're saying though is we don't have to do anything 764 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,000 Right 765 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,000 Well that's not true 766 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,000 That's the extreme 767 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,000 Because in the book of James it says be doers of the word 768 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,000 Not hearers only 769 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,000 But that doesn't mean I'm doing something to earn salvation 770 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,000 Right 771 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,000 I've already earned that 772 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:13,000 Right exactly 773 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,000 But they've totally missed it 774 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,000 You didn't earn it 775 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:16,000 It was given to you as a gift 776 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,000 I mean I've 777 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,000 I need to clarify that 778 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,000 I didn't mean to say that 779 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,000 I've already received it as a gift 780 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,000 I never have had to earn anything with God 781 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,000 Right 782 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,000 Period 783 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,000 Right 784 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,000 And I never will 785 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,000 There's a duty I have as a minister of the gospel 786 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,000 Which we all are once we become saved 787 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,000 Right 788 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,000 We're ministers of the gospel 789 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,000 Whether we go to school for it and become 790 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,000 A pastor or missionary or teacher or whatever 791 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,000 Or we're just lay people who just 792 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,000 Love the Lord and we're Christians 793 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,000 We're to minister to people 794 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,000 Right 795 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:51,000 We go there for 796 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,000 Well here's another way to say it 797 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,000 So salvation is free 798 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:56,000 Yes 799 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,000 And some people will say but everything else cost you 800 00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,000 Well I don't agree with that 801 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,000 No nothing cost us 802 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,000 Salvation is free and now we work 803 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,000 From the posture of being saved 804 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:06,000 Yes 805 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,000 Not we don't work for being saved 806 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,000 Exactly 807 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,000 We work because we're saved 808 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,000 Yes 809 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,000 And so the work we do now is in cooperation 810 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,000 Where we co-labor with Christ 811 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,000 With Christ 812 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,000 But I don't have to do it to earn 813 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,000 Because I've already received the gift 814 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,000 You don't get brownie points for doing stuff 815 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,000 I don't earn a birthday gift when someone brings it to me 816 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,000 I receive the gift 817 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:29,000 Right 818 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,000 And then I take it in 819 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:35,000 And do with the gift what it's meant to do 820 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,000 And you enjoy it but I don't earn it 821 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:39,000 I don't 822 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,000 Now this is something that I brought up earlier to you 823 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,000 That my older children always had a hard time 824 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:46,000 With my ex-husband 825 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,000 Right 826 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,000 They lived in such fear 827 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:50,000 Right 828 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,000 Of him 829 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,000 He thought it was respect 830 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,000 He thought it was respect because I'm going to teach him the fear of God 831 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,000 It was fear 832 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,000 Well that's not God either 833 00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,000 Right 834 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:05,000 But see he even learned that as he was growing up in church 835 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:10,000 To fear God so you've got to put this 836 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:14,000 You've got to always be afraid 837 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,000 Well that's not what fear of God is either 838 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:17,000 Is being afraid 839 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,000 It's being in reverential awe of God 840 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,000 Another way to say that is so that it would scare the hell out of you 841 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,000 Literally 842 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,000 Yes 843 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,000 Yeah that's that mentality of we've got to scare the hell out of them 844 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,000 And that's wrong 845 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:29,000 That's wrong 846 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,000 Oh it's sick 847 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,000 It's abusive 848 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,000 But my kids always had this fear 849 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:39,000 And I had a fear of my own father because I didn't know 850 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,000 You know from one minute to the next 851 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,000 How he would if he was going to you know blow steam off 852 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,000 I had no idea 853 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:46,000 That is not God 854 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:47,000 No 855 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:48,000 God loves us 856 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,000 Now does he correct us? 857 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,000 Absolutely 858 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,000 That's what a parent does right? 859 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,000 Exactly 860 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:58,000 But it's never in any way going to harm us at all 861 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,000 So the way to say that is it's redemptive in nature not punitive 862 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:02,000 Exactly 863 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,000 And so whenever God corrects us he's not punishing us 864 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:06,000 He's trying to help us 865 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,000 He's trying to get us back on track 866 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,000 Get us back on the right course 867 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,000 Because we got off course somehow 868 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,000 I have a Bible verse 869 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:13,000 What? 870 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:14,000 Because hold your thought 871 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:15,000 No it's good 872 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:16,000 Because you're right in the flow of this 873 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:22,000 So in Ephesians chapter 2 verse 8 this is one of those 874 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:27,000 Tipping point verses that's just huge in every believer's life 875 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,000 Everyone who's a disciple of Jesus 876 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,000 Everyone who's an apprentice of Christ 877 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:36,000 Not just I said yes, checked a card, got dipped in a hot tub 878 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,000 So now I think I'm going to heaven 879 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,000 But people who truly have a relationship with Jesus 880 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,000 Because not everybody who does that is going to heaven 881 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,000 Because they didn't internalize it 882 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:50,000 A very scary verse along that exact line is 883 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,000 Many will say to me Lord, Lord 884 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,000 And I'll say depart from me 885 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,000 Didn't I prophesy in your name? 886 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:02,000 Didn't I cast out demons? 887 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,000 Didn't I do all this in your name? 888 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,000 And he will say 889 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,000 He'll say depart from me 890 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,000 I never knew you 891 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,000 That's scary 892 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,000 It is scary 893 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:11,000 That means you can do all the stuff 894 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,000 You can look religious 895 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,000 You can act religious 896 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,000 You can speak Christianese 897 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,000 Speak the language, the vocabulary 898 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,000 And not be born again 899 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:21,000 That scares me 900 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,000 That's scary 901 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:23,000 Is that a drill or something? 902 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:24,000 That was a drill 903 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:25,000 Awesome 904 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,000 So verse 8 905 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,000 For by grace 906 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,000 There's that word 907 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,000 For by grace you have been saved 908 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,000 Through faith 909 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,000 So I always say how are you saved? 910 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,000 Well you're saved by grace through faith 911 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,000 By grace through faith 912 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,000 You've been saved by grace 913 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,000 For by grace you've been saved 914 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:46,000 Through faith 915 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,000 And that not of yourselves 916 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,000 It is the gift of God 917 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:51,000 It's a gift 918 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,000 So when people say something to the effect of 919 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,000 Hey, salvation's free but everything else 920 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,000 Discipleship will cost you 921 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,000 I do not agree with that philosophy 922 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,000 There's a mentality there that says 923 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,000 Well there is a book called The Cost of Discipleship 924 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,000 But that's totally different 925 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,000 That's Dietrich Bonhoeffer 926 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:09,000 Totally different 927 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:10,000 And that has to do with persecution 928 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,000 That has to do with World War I when Hitler rose 929 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,000 Totally different 930 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,000 And decimated 931 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,000 Yes 932 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,000 Yeah, anyway 933 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,000 Totally different thing 934 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,000 But this idea that 935 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,000 Yeah, you get in for free but now you've got to pay for it 936 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,000 That's the mentality people have 937 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,000 It's not that at all 938 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,000 John's getting after it out there 939 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,000 But we're saved by grace 940 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:38,000 In other words we've been given this gift 941 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,000 And by the way the word grace doesn't mean 942 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,000 It's not passive 943 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,000 It's actually active and powerful 944 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:44,000 Yes 945 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,000 And by definition grace 946 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,000 Some will say oh well it just means unmerited favor 947 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,000 Well that's not actually accurate 948 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,000 I mean did Jesus need unmerited favor? 949 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:53,000 No, he was perfect 950 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:54,000 He was perfect 951 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,000 He didn't need grace in that definition 952 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:01,000 But he did need grace in the actual definition of the word 953 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,000 Which hardly anyone talks about 954 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:04,000 And it's this 955 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,000 Grace is God's power 956 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,000 God's strength 957 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,000 God's ability 958 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,000 God's authority 959 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,000 And God's favor 960 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:16,000 To do what we cannot in and of ourselves do 961 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,000 Put that in your pop and smoke 962 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,000 Pop and smoke? 963 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,000 That is 964 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:22,000 Take that to the bank 965 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,000 However you want to say it 966 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,000 I'm just trying to emphasize 967 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,000 That was an exclamation point 968 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:27,000 Oh, okay 969 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:28,000 Yeah, a colloquialism 970 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,000 So anyway 971 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,000 Exclamation point high five, five stars 972 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,000 I mean that's what it means 973 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,000 Power, strength, ability, authority, and favor 974 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,000 To do what you can't do in and of yourself 975 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,000 That's grace 976 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,000 So we're saved by that power, strength, ability, favor 977 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,000 We're saved by that 978 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,000 Because we can't do it ourselves 979 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:53,000 Why do you think so many people end up later on in life 980 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:58,000 Than with the attitude of okay well then I've got to earn it 981 00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,000 I think that 982 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,000 You think it's erroneous teaching 983 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,000 It's a Puritan work ethic that we're raised with 984 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,000 You work eight hours, you get paid eight hours 985 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:07,000 Right? 986 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,000 Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, right? 987 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,000 And so there's a mentality of that 988 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,000 You don't get anything 989 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,000 There's nothing for free 990 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,000 You'll even hear people say that 991 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,000 Oh, nothing in life is free 992 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,000 Well actually there is, salvation 993 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,000 By grace, through faith, is a free gift of God 994 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,000 The word tells us right there 995 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,000 It's a free gift 996 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,000 And we don't earn it, we receive it 997 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:31,000 We just say yes, Lord 998 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,000 And then there's that other camp that says 999 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,000 We don't have to do anything 1000 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,000 So because all my sins are covered 1001 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:43,000 I can really live however I want and be okay 1002 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,000 Yeah, it's a small minority of people who say that 1003 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,000 But there are groups out there that have taken it 1004 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:49,000 But they're a loud voice 1005 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,000 Again, it's to the extreme 1006 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,000 Where they think 1007 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,000 And then if you even use the word work in a sentence 1008 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,000 Like oh, you're mixing law and grace 1009 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,000 I mean, I've had that stuff come down on me 1010 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,000 I mean, especially on social media 1011 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:05,000 I'll be talking about something 1012 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,000 And somebody will just riff on me 1013 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,000 That's a hyper-grace dude 1014 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,000 And they'll be like 1015 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:11,000 You're mixing law and grace 1016 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,000 And I'm like 1017 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,000 Have you not read the book of Acts? 1018 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:20,000 Paul did at least three or four missionary journeys 1019 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:21,000 Probably more 1020 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,000 Planted churches all over the known world at the time 1021 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,000 Are you telling me that wasn't work? 1022 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,000 Are you telling me that wasn't hard work? 1023 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,000 And usually it's the work of it 1024 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:35,000 The people who don't pastor, who have never pastored 1025 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,000 Or they're bitter 1026 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,000 Most of them have been hurt 1027 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:39,000 Bitter with the church 1028 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,000 They've been hurt in a legalistic church 1029 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,000 And I understand where that's coming from 1030 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,000 Because there's some dark stuff out there 1031 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,000 That's hyper-legalism 1032 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,000 There's another extreme where it's like 1033 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,000 You know, it's all about don'ts and no-dos 1034 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,000 I mean, you don't live, you just die 1035 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,000 And that's it 1036 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,000 I mean, you don't do any 1037 00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,000 You don't do this, you don't do that 1038 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,000 And they're pounding the pulpit 1039 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,000 And they're beating people down 1040 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,000 And that's spiritual abuse 1041 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:08,000 So a lot of people have come up through those kind of churches 1042 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,000 Where it was all about the don'ts 1043 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,000 But nothing about the dos 1044 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,000 You do get to live 1045 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,000 You do get to enjoy an abundant life 1046 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,000 You do 1047 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,000 The word blessed means happy 1048 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,000 Man, and I've heard people get upset about that 1049 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,000 Oh, Jesus, we're not supposed to be happy 1050 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:25,000 We're supposed to be joyful 1051 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,000 All the pictures that were depicted of Jesus 1052 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:32,000 They're always him with this frown and just looking 1053 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:33,000 He looks macabre 1054 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:34,000 Yes 1055 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:35,000 Weird 1056 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,000 He looks like Ashen, like he's in a grave or something 1057 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:42,000 But the Bible says he was filled with the oil of joy 1058 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:43,000 More than all of his brethren 1059 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,000 He was the happiest guy in the room 1060 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,000 The word blessed means happy 1061 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:48,000 We need to get over it 1062 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:52,000 And say, okay, he did say I could have a happy life 1063 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,000 Blessed are you when 1064 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:55,000 I love it 1065 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:56,000 Blessed to be a blessing 1066 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,000 I can't wait to listen to the next one 1067 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,000 I've listened to all of his first 1068 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,000 And we're just doing a little snippet of it 1069 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,000 Because it got me thinking about the people that have been 1070 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,000 In our lives that struggle with the word grace 1071 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,000 And so I'm excited to get into this next one 1072 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,000 I have a question for you, Daymanette 1073 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,000 What? 1074 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,000 What would you tell somebody who's listening 1075 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:21,000 And they have been in a church that has been very legalistic 1076 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,000 And they just feel beat down 1077 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:27,000 I would say they need to move away from that church 1078 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,000 Run, forest, run 1079 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:33,000 Because you need to get in a church that's actually 1080 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,000 Preaching the word of God 1081 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:38,000 I mean, we've talked about this in the last few weeks 1082 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,000 Just even at church how many pastors don't even preach 1083 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,000 The whole countenance of the word 1084 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:44,000 Right, the whole council of the word 1085 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,000 Yeah, the council of the word 1086 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,000 They actually pick and choose things 1087 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:54,000 We've chosen to go the route of preaching all of the word 1088 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:55,000 Because we believe all of it 1089 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:56,000 Yeah, last week was not fluffy 1090 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,000 I mean, when I preached on Sunday I brought the heat 1091 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,000 But it's because we need the whole council of God's word 1092 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:03,000 We need the balance of it 1093 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,000 So it wasn't fluffy 1094 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,000 It was calling us out to get active 1095 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,000 And I called people out to vote 1096 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,000 Because today starts early voting for primaries 1097 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,000 March 5th, primary voting 1098 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,000 Which we need to go over to 1099 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:21,000 And I said this to people that were at church 1100 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:25,000 We had a big crowd, huge, we're growing, it's crazy 1101 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,000 And then we had an online crowd which is amazing as well 1102 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,000 And I just said this, I say it in love but I mean it 1103 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,000 That if you don't go vote 1104 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,000 If you're not registered to vote and you don't go vote 1105 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:39,000 You are not entitled to an opinion about the culture and the world the way it is 1106 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,000 Because you have a voice 1107 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:42,000 You can make a difference 1108 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,000 Yes, we have to do something about it 1109 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,000 And this attitude of my voice doesn't count 1110 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:50,000 You ask Randy Briley from our church 1111 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:57,000 Who got

00:32:02,000 That's amazing 1115 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:06,000 They called a recount, obviously they do and it's within a certain number 1116 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,000 So they did a recount and sure enough it stood 1117 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,000 But I mean five votes 1118 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,000 Don't tell me your vote doesn't count 1119 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,000 Wow, that's
