 our first ever college soul winning marathon at OSU and I got some advice

00:19:46.740 --> 00:19:51.760
 from brother Diego at steadfast he's done this a few times and so if it goes

00:19:51.760 --> 00:19:54.830
 poorly we could just blame it all on him because I'm just gonna follow his

00:19:54.830 --> 00:19:58.380
 advice and he's ready to take the blame so if it goes good I guess we have to

00:19:58.380 --> 00:20:01.760
 give him the credit for that too so we'll see how it goes but looking

00:20:01.760 --> 00:20:07.810

 hymn this evening number 21 what a wonderful Savior hymn number 21 2 1

00:24:27.370 --> 00:24:53.130
 what a wonderful Savior 21 they're on the first

00:24:53.130 --> 00:29:00.840
 are being to Timothy chapter number 2 Timothy chapter first Timothy to the

00:29:00.840 --> 00:29:05.730
 Bible reads I exhort therefore that first of all supplications prayers

00:29:05.730 --> 00:29:10.760
 intercessions and giving of thanks be made for all men for kings and for all

00:29:10.760 --> 00:29:15.260
 that are in authority that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all

00:29:15.260 --> 00:29:19.740
 godliness and honesty for this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our

00:29:19.740 --> 00:29:24.520
 Savior who will have all men to be saved and to come unto the knowledge of the

00:29:24.520 --> 00:29:30.170
 truth for there is one God and one mediator between God and men the man

00:29:30.170 --> 00:29:35.960
 Christ Jesus who gave himself a ransom for all to be testified in due time

00:29:35.960 --> 00:29:41.700
 whereunto I am ordained a preacher and an apostle I speak the truth in Christ

00:29:41.700 --> 00:29:47.370
 and why not a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity I will therefore that

00:29:47.370 --> 00:29:52.670
 men pray everywhere lifting up holy hands without wrath and doubting and like

00:29:52.670 --> 00:29:56.660
 men are also that women adorn themselves in modest apparel with shame

00:29:56.660 --> 00:30:02.350
 facelessness and sobriety not with broided hair or gold or pearls or

00:30:02.350 --> 00:30:08.420
 costly array but which become as women professing godliness with good works

00:30:08.420 --> 00:30:14.190
 let the woman learn in silence with all subjection but I suffer not a woman to

00:30:14.190 --> 00:30:19.370
 teach nor to usurp authority over the man but to be in silence for Adam was

00:30:19.370 --> 00:30:24.310
 first formed then Eve and Adam was not deceived but the woman being deceived

00:30:24.310 --> 00:30:28.820
 was in the transgression notwithstanding she shall be saved in

00:30:28.820 --> 00:30:33.440
 childbearing if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety

00:30:33.440 --> 00:31:09.030
 time first of all notice there how the Bible describes the Lord Jesus Christ

00:31:09.030 --> 00:31:14.080
 with these words the man and why is that well one reason is because of the fact

00:31:14.080 --> 00:31:22.990
 that the Lord Jesus Christ yes is 100% God but he was also 100% man Jesus went

00:31:22.990 --> 00:31:28.440
 through this life fully living the human experience that you and I have and when

00:31:28.440 --> 00:31:32.010
 the Bible says he was hungry he was really hungry right he experienced all

00:31:32.010 --> 00:31:36.490
 the things that we go through the Bible talks about how there's no temptation or

00:31:36.490 --> 00:31:41.270
 I'm sorry how he was tempted in all points like as we are yet without sin

00:31:41.270 --> 00:31:45.850
 here's another reason why I think the Bible describes Jesus Christ as the man

00:31:45.850 --> 00:31:51.590
 not only because he just was a man but because Jesus is the man I'm using it

00:31:51.590 --> 00:31:56.710
 that way the fact that Jesus is just the man and the title my sermon is just the

00:31:56.710 --> 00:32:02.110
 man Christ Jesus because you know in this world there's not a lot of just

00:32:02.110 --> 00:32:06.330
 awesome male role models just everywhere you look it's not like you just go

00:32:06.330 --> 00:32:09.960
 anywhere you look and just find oh just wonderful male role model after

00:32:09.960 --> 00:32:14.190
 wonderful male role model man a lot of things have just changed in this world

00:32:14.190 --> 00:32:17.810
 and I've even seen some behavior this week online that have just maybe like

00:32:17.810 --> 00:32:22.360
 what is happening to men what is what is wrong with men today in this country but

00:32:22.360 --> 00:32:26.040
 you know what's nice is that we still have the ultimate example of a man to

00:32:26.040 --> 00:32:31.600
 look to that is the man Christ Jesus hey if you don't have a positive you know

00:32:31.600 --> 00:32:35.050
 role model in your life maybe didn't grow up with a great dad and maybe didn't

00:32:35.050 --> 00:32:39.090
 grow up with a dad at all here's the thing you could looks to the man Christ

00:32:39.090 --> 00:32:43.950
 Jesus as a great example let me give you tonight several reasons why Jesus is

00:32:43.950 --> 00:32:49.890
 just the epitome of manliness number one go to Mark chapter number one number

00:32:49.890 --> 00:32:55.950
 one this Jesus was strong Jesus was a strong man you know what I mean that in

00:32:55.950 --> 00:32:59.520
 every sense of the word and today there's a lot of people who want to

00:32:59.520 --> 00:33:04.510
 downplay physical strength downplay all sorts of different types of strength but

00:33:04.510 --> 00:33:09.040
 notice what the Bible teaches about Jesus in Mark chapter number one verse

00:33:09.040 --> 00:33:18.020
 35 notice this and in the morning notice rising up a great while before day he

00:33:18.020 --> 00:33:24.460
 went out and departed into a solitary place and there prayed now if you're

00:33:24.460 --> 00:33:29.640
 honest obviously it's hard to wake up early right our flesh does not want to

00:33:29.640 --> 00:33:34.400
 wake up early it takes some character it takes some discipline it takes some

00:33:34.400 --> 00:33:37.840
 just grabbing life by the horns to say like I'm gonna get out of this bed I'm

00:33:37.840 --> 00:33:41.070
 gonna wake up early okay that's just waking up early right but the Bible

00:33:41.070 --> 00:33:47.820
 says that Jesus arose a great while before day I mean when when is sunrise

00:33:47.820 --> 00:33:52.240
 isn't it about like 7 a.m. right now or something like that so a great while

00:33:52.240 --> 00:33:57.840
 before 7 a.m. what are we talking we're talking six five four thirty something

00:33:57.840 --> 00:34:02.580
 like that I mean Jesus is waking up way before the Sun comes up and notice he's

00:34:02.580 --> 00:34:06.470
 not just waking up and he's you know making his little pot of coffee and he's

00:34:06.470 --> 00:34:10.090
 gonna sit down and scroll Instagram or something like that no Jesus wakes up

00:34:10.090 --> 00:34:14.430
 and he immediately starts doing a physical activity right he goes out he

00:34:14.430 --> 00:34:17.930
 walks around elsewhere in the Gospels it talks about how Jesus it was very

00:34:17.930 --> 00:34:22.800
 common for him to wake up and just go up to a mountain I mean the Lord Jesus

00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:26.800
 Christ is a man he's waking up super early and he's just climbing mountains

00:34:26.800 --> 00:34:29.970
 and you know he's not just climbing mountains then he gets to the mountain

00:34:29.970 --> 00:34:34.030
 you know he's doing a spiritual activity that's a man right there you know a man

00:34:34.030 --> 00:34:39.250
 that wakes up early does some physical work starts praying to the Lord you know

00:34:39.250 --> 00:34:43.230
 that's a good example of a man you know what's a bad example of a man a sluggard

00:34:43.230 --> 00:34:48.580
 one that's gonna sleep in and always be drowsy always complaining about how tired

00:34:48.580 --> 00:34:52.950
 you are you know Jesus he just was a man he just woke up real early he went out

00:34:52.950 --> 00:34:57.070
 did a physical activity he went prayed to his father up in a mountain here's

00:34:57.070 --> 00:35:01.160
 what the Bible says in Proverbs 1915 you don't have to turn there slothfulness

00:35:01.160 --> 00:35:10.070
 slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep and an idle soul shall suffer hunger you

00:35:10.070 --> 00:35:13.480
 know there's people in this world that are tired because they're working hard

00:35:13.480 --> 00:35:16.500
 they've got a tough schedule no doubt about that that exists but you know a

00:35:16.500 --> 00:35:20.570
 lot of people in this world are tired because they're lazy because the Bible

00:35:20.570 --> 00:35:25.750
 actually teaches that slothfulness casted into a deep sleep the more

00:35:25.750 --> 00:35:30.610
 sedentary you are the more lazy you are believe it or not the more tired you

00:35:30.610 --> 00:35:35.560
 are and you would think like oh man if I just sit here and just binge on rest if

00:35:35.560 --> 00:35:39.800
 I just sit down all day and do nothing I'm gonna feel so rested I'm gonna have

00:35:39.800 --> 00:35:44.950
 so much energy it is a lie I'm telling you you know if you want to have really

00:35:44.950 --> 00:35:49.650
 good energy doing physical exercise is really gonna help you with that I mean

00:35:49.650 --> 00:35:54.870
 if you regularly run if you regularly regularly work out lift weights you're

00:35:54.870 --> 00:35:57.940
 actually gonna have way more energy than the person that never does those things

00:35:57.940 --> 00:36:01.730
 and it's like you know one time I heard President Trump talking about he's like

00:36:01.730 --> 00:36:06.510
 yeah exercise is overrated because I like to conserve my energy but it's

00:36:06.510 --> 00:36:10.580
 like that's not how it works alright actually yeah it's that's a Trump quote

00:36:10.580 --> 00:36:13.650
 for you right I know you guys want me to do the accent I'm not feeling it right

00:36:13.650 --> 00:36:19.350
 now okay now go if you would actually stay there and mark chapter one let's

00:36:19.350 --> 00:36:25.110
 read verse 36 it says in Simon and they that were with him followed after him

00:36:25.110 --> 00:36:29.560
 when they had found him they said unto him all men seek for thee and he said

00:36:29.560 --> 00:36:35.450
 unto them let us go into the next towns that I may preach there also for

00:36:35.450 --> 00:36:40.630
 therefore came I forth so notice he's waking up a great while before day he's

00:36:40.630 --> 00:36:45.530
 doing a physical activities walking you know he's praying to the Lord then his

00:36:45.530 --> 00:36:50.060
 disciples are there and he says hey let's go into the next towns right now

00:36:50.060 --> 00:36:53.880
 here's the thing going to the next towns during the time of Jesus is not

00:36:53.880 --> 00:36:57.700
 calling an uber it's not getting on a plane it's not getting in a car it's

00:36:57.700 --> 00:37:02.110
 walking and you know what the Lord Jesus Christ had to have a certain amount of

00:37:02.110 --> 00:37:06.430
 strength to do his ministry because he did a lot of walking how do I know that

00:37:06.430 --> 00:37:10.790
 well look at verse 39 and he preached in their synagogues throughout all what

00:37:10.790 --> 00:37:16.000
 Galilee and cast out devils now the Bible records the Lord Jesus Christ

00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:22.580
 being in all sorts of different places right Bethlehem Judea Jerusalem Galilee

00:37:22.580 --> 00:37:27.470
 now Jerusalem to Galilee I obviously don't know this from experience but from

00:37:27.470 --> 00:37:34.390
 what I saw online from Jerusalem to Galilee is a 78 mile voyage one way one

00:37:34.390 --> 00:37:38.110
 way so when the Bible's just like oh yeah then he's in Galilee he had to walk

00:37:38.110 --> 00:37:42.660
 almost 80 miles on foot to get there you know Razorhead if you ever walked 80 miles

00:37:42.660 --> 00:37:49.520
 in one go oh yeah no one right that's an intense walk right there right and you

00:37:49.520 --> 00:37:52.900
 know he's doing that and he gets there he's just preaching right that takes

00:37:52.900 --> 00:37:58.070
 some strength my friend that takes some fitness that takes some strength and you

00:37:58.070 --> 00:38:02.940
 know I'm tired of this attitude from fat preachers that are constantly down on

00:38:02.940 --> 00:38:07.180
 exercising you know like Tony Hudson getting up and saying that you're

00:38:07.180 --> 00:38:11.150
 effeminate if you go to the gym no what's effeminate is having all that

00:38:11.150 --> 00:38:14.460
 extra estrogen in your body buddy because I'm pretty sure the Lord Jesus

00:38:14.460 --> 00:38:17.760
 Christ didn't look like you because he's not you know you're not gonna be able

00:38:17.760 --> 00:38:22.850
 to walk 80 miles sorry to tell you that that's a very fit man to do that go to

00:38:22.850 --> 00:38:26.680
 Matthew chapter number four while you're turning their Proverbs 24/5 says this a

00:38:26.680 --> 00:38:34.110
 wise man is strong a man of knowledge increases strength the Bible says that

00:38:34.110 --> 00:38:39.160
 if you are a strong man that's actually wise it's wise to be strong and yes

00:38:39.160 --> 00:38:44.050
 bodily exercise profiteth little we've heard it a thousand times donut

00:38:44.050 --> 00:38:48.210
 guzzling pastor yeah bodily exercise profit little but you know what it's

00:38:48.210 --> 00:38:53.070
 still profit some yeah it does profit little in comparison to spiritual things

00:38:53.070 --> 00:38:57.460
 but I wonder how much it's gonna profit you when you die at 55 years old of a

00:38:57.460 --> 00:39:01.920
 heart attack and you know Jesus is walking 80 miles right hey it does have

00:39:01.920 --> 00:39:07.450
 some profit notice Matthew chapter 4 verse 1 then was Jesus led up of the

00:39:07.450 --> 00:39:12.480
 spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil and when he had fasted

00:39:12.480 --> 00:39:20.820
 don't miss this 40 days and 40 nights he was afterward and hungered I think

00:39:20.820 --> 00:39:24.390
 people read stories like this and they kind of brush it away like oh that's

00:39:24.390 --> 00:39:28.600
 Jesus you know like oh Jesus has some sort of like Superman powers or

00:39:28.600 --> 00:39:35.260
 something like that but no my friend Jesus was 100% man and just how you

00:39:35.260 --> 00:39:40.660
 would feel just how I would feel going 40 days without food that's exactly how

00:39:40.660 --> 00:39:44.340
 the Lord Jesus Christ felt felt now think about you know if you've been

00:39:44.340 --> 00:39:47.850
 without food before for a long time you start getting angry you know you start

00:39:47.850 --> 00:39:50.820
 getting really uncomfortable you know I can't even fathom what I would be like

00:39:50.820 --> 00:39:55.210
 after 40 days because I've never come close to that you know I've gone several

00:39:55.210 --> 00:39:58.630
 days without eating because of like severe illness before or something like

00:39:58.630 --> 00:40:01.460
 that like if you've gone a week without eating in America it's probably because

00:40:01.460 --> 00:40:06.230
 you had a really bad stomach bug meanwhile Jesus is going 40 days think

00:40:06.230 --> 00:40:10.170
 about how your temperament would be your attitude you'd probably be very short

00:40:10.170 --> 00:40:16.250
 angry upset right but notice in verse 3 while Jesus is hungry it says and when

00:40:16.250 --> 00:40:20.380
 the tempter came to him he said if thou be the Son of God command that these

00:40:20.380 --> 00:40:26.770
 stones be made bread but he answered and said it is written man shall not live by

00:40:26.770 --> 00:40:32.000
 bread alone but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God so

00:40:32.000 --> 00:40:37.570
 notice not only was Jesus just so strong physically to go 40 days 40 nights

00:40:37.570 --> 00:40:41.620
 without food but he was also so strong mentally that when he's engaged in a

00:40:41.620 --> 00:40:46.780
 spiritual battle he's more focused and he cares more about the spiritual than

00:40:46.780 --> 00:40:51.130
 the carnal right I mean he I would just be losing my mind 40 days 40 nights but

00:40:51.130 --> 00:40:54.700
 he's just sitting here combating the devil you know giving verses to the

00:40:54.700 --> 00:40:58.430
 devil not giving into temptation you know when you give into temptation is

00:40:58.430 --> 00:41:03.400
 when your body is often weak right but you know what Jesus was just a man he

00:41:03.400 --> 00:41:08.440
 was a man I'm gonna read for you job 2312 says neither have I gone back from

00:41:08.440 --> 00:41:12.790
 the commandment of his lips I have esteemed the words of his mouth more

00:41:12.790 --> 00:41:17.480
 than my necessary food yeah that's a great example of that verse right there

00:41:17.480 --> 00:41:20.880
 that the Lord Jesus Christ he's prioritizing the words of God he's

00:41:20.880 --> 00:41:24.880
 speaking the words of God more than he's worried about eating food go to

00:41:24.880 --> 00:41:29.680
 Matthew 15 so number one Jesus was strong in any way you want to quantify

00:41:29.680 --> 00:41:35.080
 that emotionally spiritually physically number two Jesus called out evil

00:41:35.080 --> 00:41:39.350
 without fear here's one of the things that just makes Jesus just the man is

00:41:39.350 --> 00:41:43.830
 that you know he's willing to call out evil without fear you know it's a sign

00:41:43.830 --> 00:41:47.910
 today of a weak man that would be too afraid that would be too much of a

00:41:47.910 --> 00:41:52.530
 coward to call out sin right that would just be a fleshly carnal weak person

00:41:52.530 --> 00:41:57.910
 but you know Jesus was the man what it says in Matthew 15 verse 3 but he

00:41:57.910 --> 00:42:02.320
 answered and said unto them why do ye also transgress the commandment of God

00:42:02.320 --> 00:42:06.810
 by your tradition for God commanded saying honor thy father and mother and

00:42:06.810 --> 00:42:10.360
 he that curseth father or mother let him die the death but ye say

00:42:10.360 --> 00:42:16.040
 whosoever shall say to his father or his mother it is a gift by whatsoever thou

00:42:16.040 --> 00:42:20.200
 mightest be profited by me and honor not his father or his mother he shall be

00:42:20.200 --> 00:42:26.160
 free thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition ye

00:42:26.160 --> 00:42:31.160
 hypocrites well did Isaiah's prophesy of you saying this people draweth nigh unto

00:42:31.160 --> 00:42:36.300
 me with their mouth and honoreth me with their lips but their heart is far from

00:42:36.300 --> 00:42:40.350
 me hey that's a bold thing to say right there and look Jesus isn't you know

00:42:40.350 --> 00:42:44.970
 getting on Facebook and being a keyboard warrior you know it's real easy to write

00:42:44.970 --> 00:42:49.290
 these scathing rebukes online to an audience it's not even there but what

00:42:49.290 --> 00:42:53.780
 about in front of these people in front of their faces looking them in the eyes

00:42:53.780 --> 00:42:58.740
 and saying hey here's what the Bible says and you guys are violating it you

00:42:58.740 --> 00:43:03.060
 guys are making the commandments of God of none effect you guys are hypocrites

00:43:03.060 --> 00:43:06.890
 hey Isaiah you read the preaching that he's preaching that was about you evil

00:43:06.890 --> 00:43:11.030
 hypocrites he's like hey look what he says there he says you draw an eye to me

00:43:11.030 --> 00:43:14.540
 with your mouth you honor me with your lips but their heart is far from me he's

00:43:14.540 --> 00:43:19.280
 saying you guys don't love God your guys's hearts are far from God you know

00:43:19.280 --> 00:43:23.700
 people get offended today when pastors get up and preach against the sins of

00:43:23.700 --> 00:43:27.650
 the congregation and tell people that they're wrong and issue sharp correction

00:43:27.650 --> 00:43:31.710
 but you know this is what Jesus did to people's faces why because he was a real

00:43:31.710 --> 00:43:37.290
 man and you know what a real man is not afraid to call out evil he's gonna do it

00:43:37.290 --> 00:43:41.080
 period you know what even if you are afraid you know what act like a man and

00:43:41.080 --> 00:43:44.590
 call out the evil in our day we need some men today to rise up that are

00:43:44.590 --> 00:43:49.010
 willing to call out the evil not these vague sermons where pastors are like

00:43:49.010 --> 00:43:52.610
 yeah there's some bad things in the world today there's some evil people out

00:43:52.610 --> 00:43:55.630
 there hey you know there's some preachers out there that are really

00:43:55.630 --> 00:43:59.900
 compromising on the gospel and you know they're preaching repenting your sins

00:43:59.900 --> 00:44:05.940
 it's called Stacy Shiflett say the name tell people hey that guy's wicked he's a

00:44:05.940 --> 00:44:10.240
 hypocrite he's evil he's a false prophet we need some men today to get up and

00:44:10.240 --> 00:44:14.170
 actually warn because that's the type of person that Jesus was go if you would to

00:44:14.170 --> 00:44:20.090
 Matthew chapter number five Matthew chapter number five and look he calls out

00:44:20.090 --> 00:44:24.500
 all sorts of different sins right you're like oh well that doesn't offend me

00:44:24.500 --> 00:44:28.210
 because I'm not a false prophet right I'm not one of these Jews or whatever so

00:44:28.210 --> 00:44:31.360
 that that sermon doesn't offend me but you know what he just steps on everyone's

00:44:31.360 --> 00:44:36.900
 toes in the Bible how about this one man Matthew 5 verse 27 you have heard that

00:44:36.900 --> 00:44:41.840
 it was said by them of all time thou shalt not commit adultery but I say unto

00:44:41.840 --> 00:44:46.710
 you that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery

00:44:46.710 --> 00:44:52.210
 with her already in his heart hey Jesus is calling out the adultery of his day

00:44:52.210 --> 00:44:56.230
 and he's calling out guys biggest struggle and temptation which is

00:44:56.230 --> 00:44:59.920
 lusting after other women and he doesn't excuse it he doesn't downplay it he says

00:44:59.920 --> 00:45:02.940
 hey you're lusting after other women in your heart you're committing adultery in

00:45:02.940 --> 00:45:07.470
 your heart you know we need a generation of men today that are gonna actually be

00:45:07.470 --> 00:45:12.120
 real men and be faithful to their wives and you know that doesn't mean just not

00:45:12.120 --> 00:45:16.540
 sleeping with another woman but also being faithful with your eyes and I'm

00:45:16.540 --> 00:45:19.050
 not gonna sit here and say that you're gonna be perfect every day of your life

00:45:19.050 --> 00:45:22.860
 but you know what we need to stop this this gentleman's banter this

00:45:22.860 --> 00:45:26.950
 construction site banter where the woman walks by and you whistle and you gawk

00:45:26.950 --> 00:45:31.200
 you know don't don't participate in that crap why don't you be a real man and

00:45:31.200 --> 00:45:34.780
 actually stand up and love your wife why don't you be a real man and stop going

00:45:34.780 --> 00:45:38.620
 to those dirty websites too while you're at it because you know what Jesus Christ

00:45:38.620 --> 00:45:42.350
 wouldn't have visited the Gentleman's Club with you Jesus Christ wouldn't have

00:45:42.350 --> 00:45:46.010
 visited the Gentleman's website with you no he would have said you're committing

00:45:46.010 --> 00:45:50.340
 adultery in your heart stop it knock it off you know we need some

00:45:50.340 --> 00:45:53.910
 bended a to actually correct people on that and not downplay it act like it's

00:45:53.910 --> 00:45:58.800
 normal act like it's good no no no it's wicked as hell don't do it you know he

00:45:58.800 --> 00:46:03.120
 also called out false prophets he did this all the time Matthew chapter number

00:46:03.120 --> 00:46:12.380
 16 Matthew chapter number 16 few pages over there Matthew 16 verse 6 then Jesus

00:46:12.380 --> 00:46:17.810
 said unto them take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the

00:46:17.810 --> 00:46:22.200
 Sadducees I like how he calls them out by name right he gets specific of who

00:46:22.200 --> 00:46:27.430
 he's correcting and they reason among themselves saying it is because we have

00:46:27.430 --> 00:46:30.940
 taken no bread unfortunately even when you do get really specific sometimes

00:46:30.940 --> 00:46:34.380
 people are just really thick and don't get it right away and so verse 8 says

00:46:34.380 --> 00:46:40.050
 which when Jesus perceived he said unto them oh ye of little faith why reason

00:46:40.050 --> 00:46:43.840
 ye among yourselves because he have brought bought yes excuse me brought no

00:46:43.840 --> 00:46:48.830
 bread do you not yet understand neither remember the five loaves of the five

00:46:48.830 --> 00:46:53.460
 thousand and how many baskets you took up neither the seven loaves of the four

00:46:53.460 --> 00:46:58.030
 thousand and how many baskets you took up how is it that you do not understand

00:46:58.030 --> 00:47:03.350
 that I spake it not to you concerning bread that ye should beware of the leaven

00:47:03.350 --> 00:47:08.380
 of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees notice Jesus gets frustrated at people

00:47:08.380 --> 00:47:11.530
 right this is why we need to have grace in our own lives too because I'm sure

00:47:11.530 --> 00:47:15.100
 Jesus has looked down at us just be like why don't you understand why don't you

00:47:15.100 --> 00:47:18.780
 remember what's wrong with you why aren't you getting this through your head right

00:47:18.780 --> 00:47:22.430
 but he said hey that you should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of

00:47:22.430 --> 00:47:26.580
 the Sadducees then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the

00:47:26.580 --> 00:47:32.670
 leaven of bread but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees hey

00:47:32.670 --> 00:47:37.100
 we need to have a generation of real men that are gonna call out false doctrines

00:47:37.100 --> 00:47:42.350
 false prophets not every church service is should be this motivational speech

00:47:42.350 --> 00:47:46.670
 not every church service does it need to be live your life best life now

00:47:46.670 --> 00:47:50.050
 sometimes we need to call out false doctrines sometimes we need to call out

00:47:50.050 --> 00:47:53.790
 false prophets hey we need to get real specific today the Mormons they're not

00:47:53.790 --> 00:47:56.900
 Christians they're false prophets hey the Catholics they're on their way

00:47:56.900 --> 00:48:01.240
 straight to hell hey the Jews they're not God's chosen people they're gonna

00:48:01.240 --> 00:48:04.640
 burn in hell unless they believe in the Lord Jesus Christ I don't even think

00:48:04.640 --> 00:48:07.720
 that's hard preaching but you know for a lot of churches that would be insane

00:48:07.720 --> 00:48:12.350
 what I just said right now for us it's just like oh most obvious thing in the

00:48:12.350 --> 00:48:16.470
 world but like like there'd be pandemonium in churches if that was said

00:48:16.470 --> 00:48:19.600
 in a lot of places why because there's not a real man getting up there and

00:48:19.600 --> 00:48:23.990
 following the example of the man Christ Jesus who would actually call out false

00:48:23.990 --> 00:48:27.580
 prophets you know he also called out wicked politicians go to Luke chapter

00:48:27.580 --> 00:48:33.420
 number 13 Luke chapter number 13 you know it's a real big red flag when you're

00:48:33.420 --> 00:48:40.920
 buddy buddy with politicians do not rich men oppress you and blaspheme that

00:48:40.920 --> 00:48:44.480
 worthy name by which you are called hey don't the rulers gather themselves

00:48:44.480 --> 00:48:49.270
 together and conspire against the Lord and against his Christ right you know

00:48:49.270 --> 00:48:52.520
 the Bible does not paint politicians as good people I don't know if you realize

00:48:52.520 --> 00:48:56.300
 that and reality matches that politicians are often some of the most

00:48:56.300 --> 00:49:00.700
 scummy disgusting people but yeah we got a lot of pastors today where their goal

00:49:00.700 --> 00:49:05.430
 in ministry is to be like buddy buddy with politicians or their goal in

00:49:05.430 --> 00:49:09.630
 ministry is to even be a politician someday run for office or something like

00:49:09.630 --> 00:49:14.340
 that today look let's talk about saved pastors what a waste of a saved

00:49:14.340 --> 00:49:18.890
 pastor's ministry spending his life trying to get into politics trying to

00:49:18.890 --> 00:49:22.700
 you know be buddies with the mayor and stuff like that look we have souls to

00:49:22.700 --> 00:49:28.050
 save folks who cares about your stupid City Council ordinances or your laws

00:49:28.050 --> 00:49:31.810
 that are gonna be overturned next year Jesus said go forth in all the world and

00:49:31.810 --> 00:49:36.320
 what preach the gospel it's such a joke today how Christians are just obsessed

00:49:36.320 --> 00:49:40.560
 with politics which is just fading it's just gonna go away it's gonna be burned

00:49:40.560 --> 00:49:45.290
 up notice verse 31 the same day there came certain of the Pharisees saying

00:49:45.290 --> 00:49:50.490
 unto him get thee out and depart hence for Herod will kill thee now imagine

00:49:50.490 --> 00:49:54.020
 hearing that the most powerful leader is wanting to kill you right a lot of

00:49:54.020 --> 00:49:58.490
 people that would that would make them quit I'd make them shut up but Jesus was

00:49:58.490 --> 00:50:04.470
 the man verse 32 and he said unto them go ye and tell that Fox behold I cast

00:50:04.470 --> 00:50:09.270
 out devils and I do cures today and tomorrow and the third day I shall be

00:50:09.270 --> 00:50:12.900
 perfected nevertheless I must walk today and tomorrow in the net and the day

00:50:12.900 --> 00:50:16.590
 following for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem you know

00:50:16.590 --> 00:50:20.390
 if Jesus knew that the most powerful leader in the area was wanting to kill

00:50:20.390 --> 00:50:23.720
 him you know he could have just kept his mouth shut he could have just been

00:50:23.720 --> 00:50:27.210
 quiet he could have just kind of retreated and gone and done ministry

00:50:27.210 --> 00:50:31.660
 somewhere else or he could have said politely no no I'm not gonna do that I'm

00:50:31.660 --> 00:50:36.170
 actually gonna keep preaching he's just like hey go tell that Fox right he

00:50:36.170 --> 00:50:41.860
 called him an ugly name he's not afraid hey Jesus Christ is the king of kings

00:50:41.860 --> 00:50:45.950
 and you know what the authority we get as Christians doesn't come from the mayor

00:50:45.950 --> 00:50:49.800
 the governor the president no no no no we have someone much higher than all

00:50:49.800 --> 00:50:53.770
 those people that we answer to and see what I'm not afraid of politicians these

00:50:53.770 --> 00:50:57.230
 politicians should be afraid of me the politicians should be afraid of the man

00:50:57.230 --> 00:51:02.020
 of God of Christians today but you got guys like Greg Locke today Greg Locke

00:51:02.020 --> 00:51:08.260
 just posted this today look at this steaming pile of dung Greg Locke take a

00:51:08.260 --> 00:51:11.490
 look right there you think that that's what the Lord Jesus Christ would do is

00:51:11.490 --> 00:51:15.360
 buddy up with the vice president of the United States in the White House a

00:51:15.360 --> 00:51:20.530
 Catholic you really think that that's what Jesus would do rub shoulders with a

00:51:20.530 --> 00:51:24.280
 Catholic and act like he's our friend no Jesus would rebuke the Catholic and

00:51:24.280 --> 00:51:30.750
 tell him he needs to repent tell me he's get saved oh it gets worse here's this

00:51:30.750 --> 00:51:34.700
 steaming pile of dung this heretic false prophet oh look who that is

00:51:34.700 --> 00:51:39.710
 Franklin Graham the son of one of the worst false prophets that's ever walked

00:51:39.710 --> 00:51:45.060
 this earth Billy Graham and you know what like father like son what a scumbag

00:51:45.060 --> 00:51:49.140
 why would you want to follow a pastor that's just obsessed with all the

00:51:49.140 --> 00:51:52.270
 powerful people and the powerful politicians and the powerful religious

00:51:52.270 --> 00:51:57.520
 leaders you know what he's a you know the the VP is a fox the VP is a fox

00:51:57.520 --> 00:52:01.960
 that's what Jesus would call him right hey Franklin Graham is a fox he's a foot

00:52:01.960 --> 00:52:07.030
 he's a wolf actually is what he is but I like Jesus's attitude here go to verse

00:52:07.030 --> 00:52:11.710
 number 34 of Luke 13 Luke chapter 13 verse 34 you know he also called out the

00:52:11.710 --> 00:52:18.040
 Jews said oh Jerusalem Jerusalem which kill us the prophets and stonest them

00:52:18.040 --> 00:52:22.430
 that are sent unto thee how often would I have gathered thy children together as

00:52:22.430 --> 00:52:28.010
 a hen doth gather her brood under her wings and ye would not he says hey I

00:52:28.010 --> 00:52:31.470
 wish you'd be saved I want you to be saved but you know what the problem is

00:52:31.470 --> 00:52:36.160
 you don't want to be saved you don't want to believe behold your house is

00:52:36.160 --> 00:52:39.930
 left unto you desolate oh bless Israel no he said your house is desolate and

00:52:39.930 --> 00:52:45.090
 verily I say unto you ye shall not see me until the time come when ye shall say

00:52:45.090 --> 00:52:51.040
 blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord notice Jesus is not saying hey

00:52:51.040 --> 00:52:54.540
 oh it's fine your children of Abraham he's saying no no you've got to say

00:52:54.540 --> 00:52:57.930
 blessed is he to come it in the name of the Lord you have to believe on the Lord

00:52:57.930 --> 00:53:02.110
 Jesus Christ and that's the message that the Jews need to hear today is believe

00:53:02.110 --> 00:53:06.490
 on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved we don't need any more Jew

00:53:06.490 --> 00:53:10.560
 worshipping pastors pastors that are afraid to call out the Jews no no the

00:53:10.560 --> 00:53:14.820
 Jews are evil and by the way this is such a disingenuous thing that people

00:53:14.820 --> 00:53:18.090
 say you know they'll read all these negative verses about Jews in the Bible

00:53:18.090 --> 00:53:22.440
 and they'll say but Jesus was a Jew it's a really disingenuous thing to say

00:53:22.440 --> 00:53:25.780
 because sure you could talk about him being a descendant of Judah and

00:53:25.780 --> 00:53:30.220
 ethnically being that way but when someone talks about a Jew today what

00:53:30.220 --> 00:53:34.170
 they're talking about is someone who follows the religion of Judaism and you

00:53:34.170 --> 00:53:40.010
 know what the whole point of Judaism is is that there is a Messiah but it's not

00:53:40.010 --> 00:53:46.640
 Jesus now explain to me how Jesus is a Jew when Judaism says Jesus isn't the

00:53:46.640 --> 00:53:51.180
 Messiah that's a retarded thing to say don't say that Jesus is a Jew no no

00:53:51.180 --> 00:53:55.400
 Jesus is Lord hey Jesus is the man is what the Bible says why don't you call

00:53:55.400 --> 00:53:59.900
 him that he's just the man he is go to John chapter number two you know he even

00:53:59.900 --> 00:54:04.980
 called out his own disciples he even called out everyone I mean there's no

00:54:04.980 --> 00:54:09.640
 one that escaped his preaching you know at one point he said to Peter get thee

00:54:09.640 --> 00:54:15.180
 behind me Satan that's a very you know intense thing to say to someone I mean

00:54:15.180 --> 00:54:18.040
 would you be offended if someone called you Satan and sometimes people kind of

00:54:18.040 --> 00:54:22.120
 use that as like a jokey word Satan but it's like it's Jesus he's not playing

00:54:22.120 --> 00:54:27.230
 games he's calling Peter Satan get thee behind me Satan that's pretty intense

00:54:27.230 --> 00:54:36.560
 number three Jesus did not seek approval from men you know a real man is secure a

00:54:36.560 --> 00:54:40.870
 real man is gonna believe what is right regardless of what other people are

00:54:40.870 --> 00:54:45.150
 doing they're gonna stand where they need to stand based on principle

00:54:45.150 --> 00:54:48.340
 regardless of what other people are doing look what Jesus said in verse

00:54:48.340 --> 00:54:53.290
 number 23 of John 2 now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover in the feast

00:54:53.290 --> 00:54:58.410
 day many believed in his name when they saw the miracles which he did notice

00:54:58.410 --> 00:55:05.290
 but Jesus did not commit himself unto them because he knew all men and needed

00:55:05.290 --> 00:55:12.530
 not that any should testify of man for he knew what was in man so notice what

00:55:12.530 --> 00:55:16.950
 was driving the Lord Jesus Christ was driving his ministry what was keeping

00:55:16.950 --> 00:55:20.430
 him going what was propelling him forward was not the approval of the

00:55:20.430 --> 00:55:25.330
 masses though he did get it sometimes it wasn't people cheering him on it wasn't

00:55:25.330 --> 00:55:29.090
 people encouraging him it wasn't about how many people believe or how many

00:55:29.090 --> 00:55:32.990
 disciples he had because he already knows the heart of man he already knows

00:55:32.990 --> 00:55:36.750
 you know a faithful man who can find hey everyone's gonna proclaim their own

00:55:36.750 --> 00:55:39.930
 goodness but a faithful man who could find hey for all have sinned and come

00:55:39.930 --> 00:55:43.350
 short of the glory of God right he doesn't have rose-colored glasses when it

00:55:43.350 --> 00:55:47.170
 comes to the nature of man and so he didn't commit himself unto them because

00:55:47.170 --> 00:55:51.830
 he knew what was in man you know what a real man does a real man serves God

00:55:51.830 --> 00:55:56.390
 regardless of what other people are doing you know you should never sit here

00:55:56.390 --> 00:56:00.280
 and think oh what's right is based on what the majority of people are doing oh

00:56:00.280 --> 00:56:04.870
 what's right is based on what my friend is doing oh what's right is based on

00:56:04.870 --> 00:56:09.450
 what my family is doing no what's right is what Jesus did what's right is what

00:56:09.450 --> 00:56:12.710
 the Bible says and you want to know why Jesus was a real man is because he

00:56:12.710 --> 00:56:17.910
 didn't commit himself unto other men and look there's people all the time I wish

00:56:17.910 --> 00:56:21.660
 this wasn't the case but look Jesus describes Christians us his followers

00:56:21.660 --> 00:56:26.570
 as what sheep right this is just the nature of man and look there that could

00:56:26.570 --> 00:56:30.820
 be a good thing you know it's really nice when people are very trusting

00:56:30.820 --> 00:56:33.250
 around a good person because they're gonna be trusting the right things

00:56:33.250 --> 00:56:37.640
 right like if someone just is a person where they just believe everything they

00:56:37.640 --> 00:56:41.020
 hear but they just accidentally go to a great church okay well then they're

00:56:41.020 --> 00:56:43.530
 gonna end up learning a lot of great things and things will go pretty well for

00:56:43.530 --> 00:56:47.230
 them but you know what that's not every person right you're not always in a good

00:56:47.230 --> 00:56:49.740
 church you're not always in a good situation you know everyone thinks oh

00:56:49.740 --> 00:56:54.160
 what I do is always right and what my friends do is always right and what my

00:56:54.160 --> 00:56:57.670
 church does is always right no no that's not how you should live your life and

00:56:57.670 --> 00:57:03.730
 all the time in churches today people are serving God because their friend is

00:57:03.730 --> 00:57:08.400
 serving God they're serving God because their parents are serving God I mean

00:57:08.400 --> 00:57:11.730
 don't you think there's a lot of kids in this world that go to churches that go

00:57:11.730 --> 00:57:14.230
 to good churches but they're there for their parents they're there because

00:57:14.230 --> 00:57:17.090
 their parents make them you know there's wives that they come to church because

00:57:17.090 --> 00:57:20.330
 their husband makes them there's probably even some husbands that go to

00:57:20.330 --> 00:57:23.290
 church because their wives make them that's rough talk about not being a real

00:57:23.290 --> 00:57:27.090
 man right but you know that's just the truth but hey what does a real man do a

00:57:27.090 --> 00:57:32.890
 real man just finds out what's right and does it a real man finds out what's

00:57:32.890 --> 00:57:37.970
 right and he encourages other people hey follow me as I follow Christ a real man

00:57:37.970 --> 00:57:41.150
 is not sitting here thinking like well what do you think in this controversy

00:57:41.150 --> 00:57:45.540
 no they're just gonna take a stand right you know what what is a really not

00:57:45.540 --> 00:57:50.770
 manly attitude is being a fence rider it really really is just like not a

00:57:50.770 --> 00:57:56.410
 masculine manly attitude when men are just constantly fence riders they can't

00:57:56.410 --> 00:58:00.130
 just make it clear where they stand they won't get involved in the fights that

00:58:00.130 --> 00:58:03.650
 need to be fought they won't say hey here's what we believe about the Bible

00:58:03.650 --> 00:58:06.680
 it's like well I could see this and I could see this and I could see this you

00:58:06.680 --> 00:58:11.310
 decide right it's like look if you don't know you don't know but it's like there

00:58:11.310 --> 00:58:14.750
 should come a point in a preacher's life where he knows what the Bible says

00:58:14.750 --> 00:58:17.490
 you're not gonna know everything but it's really annoying when you listen to

00:58:17.490 --> 00:58:20.430
 a preacher and he's just like he's not sure about anything he's just giving

00:58:20.430 --> 00:58:23.800
 everything up for interpretation everything's up oh you decide that's not

00:58:23.800 --> 00:58:29.730
 manly I once had a boss like this where this guy is in authority over me he's

00:58:29.730 --> 00:58:35.710
 like over double my age he's a co-owner of the company and he's coming to me he's

00:58:35.710 --> 00:58:40.690
 this Russian guy he's like Dylan what do we do you know better than I do and I'm

00:58:40.690 --> 00:58:43.900
 just like what kind of boss says something like that to his employee and

00:58:43.900 --> 00:58:47.630
 I'm just like I want to obey this guy I want him just give me orders and I'm

00:58:47.630 --> 00:58:50.720
 just gonna run and do it but he's coming to me he's just like what do you think

00:58:50.720 --> 00:58:54.520
 you know better blah blah blah I'm just like he was always like this and he was

00:58:54.520 --> 00:58:58.680
 cringe honestly and he was just really a feminine guy all right and I still obey

00:58:58.680 --> 00:59:02.550
 the guy but I'm just like man I wish you would just like yell at us you know

00:59:02.550 --> 00:59:06.360
 like I wish you would just get angry at us and just like tell us what to do or

00:59:06.360 --> 00:59:09.770
 something like that by the way husbands this is how your wife feels sometimes as

00:59:09.770 --> 00:59:17.310
 well go to John chapter number six John chapter number six you know some people

00:59:17.310 --> 00:59:21.890
 do what they do only because other people are doing it some people go soul

00:59:21.890 --> 00:59:24.940
 winning only because other people go soul winning and praise God if you're

00:59:24.940 --> 00:59:28.000
 going soul winning some people only read their Bible because other people are

00:59:28.000 --> 00:59:30.020
 reading the Bible hey praise God if you're reading your Bible but you know

00:59:30.020 --> 00:59:36.220
 what a real man does is he's going soul winning period a real man is going soul

00:59:36.220 --> 00:59:39.470
 winning whether his family's going or not a real man's reading the Bible

00:59:39.470 --> 00:59:43.000
 regardless of what his family's doing hey a real man's doing the Bible memory

00:59:43.000 --> 00:59:48.800
 chapter regardless of what other people are doing John 6 verse 65 and he said

00:59:48.800 --> 00:59:52.660
 therefore said I unto you that no man can come unto me except it were given

00:59:52.660 --> 00:59:56.640
 unto him of my father from that time many of his disciples went back and

00:59:56.640 --> 01:00:01.980
 walked no more with him then said Jesus unto the twelve well at best I guess I

01:00:01.980 --> 01:00:06.800
 better quit everyone's leaving me everyone else is turning away no he

01:00:06.800 --> 01:00:11.290
 says will ye go away also all right he's not deterred then Simon Peter

01:00:11.290 --> 01:00:15.730
 answered him Lord to whom shall we go it's a good question now has the words

01:00:15.730 --> 01:00:19.870
 of eternal life Peter had a wise moment here right he's like why would I leave

01:00:19.870 --> 01:00:23.470
 you Jesus like who am I gonna go to you have the words of eternal life we

01:00:23.470 --> 01:00:29.590
 believe and are sure that thou art the Christ the son of the living God notice

01:00:29.590 --> 01:00:34.350
 Jesus he had people quit on him and turn away from him but that didn't cause

01:00:34.350 --> 01:00:37.660
 him to sit here and think like well maybe I won't go do my mission maybe I

01:00:37.660 --> 01:00:41.310
 won't serve God right and look if you serve God long enough like if you

01:00:41.310 --> 01:00:44.120
 actually get plugged in and serve God long enough you know what you're gonna

01:00:44.120 --> 01:00:48.660
 see you're gonna see people quit on serving God I'm not talking about going

01:00:48.660 --> 01:00:51.420
 to another good church there's nothing wrong with that that's great but I'm

01:00:51.420 --> 01:00:55.190
 saying you're gonna see people just stop serving God you're gonna see people

01:00:55.190 --> 01:00:59.320
 just like quit soul winning quit going to church in general I mean haven't we

01:00:59.320 --> 01:01:03.320
 ever seen that here before people just quit serving God all together people's

01:01:03.320 --> 01:01:06.430
 quit soul winning all together people quit doing the right things all together

01:01:06.430 --> 01:01:12.010
 you know what that's a shame for a man that is the utter shame for a man to

01:01:12.010 --> 01:01:16.550
 quit serving God look don't quit don't be a quitter in general but if there's

01:01:16.550 --> 01:01:22.010
 one thing you need to keep going on men it's serving God don't let you don't

01:01:22.010 --> 01:01:27.170
 let your wife see you quit serving God don't let your wife see you stop

01:01:27.170 --> 01:01:31.870
 following Jesus don't let your wife see you oh he once was a soul winner man he

01:01:31.870 --> 01:01:36.600
 used to read the Bible man he used to serve in church man he used to sign up

01:01:36.600 --> 01:01:39.670
 for the men's preaching nights man he really wanted to serve God with all his

01:01:39.670 --> 01:01:44.210
 heart and then where are you three years from now doing absolutely nothing that's

01:01:44.210 --> 01:01:47.860
 a shame that is a shame on your testimony as a leader that's not what a

01:01:47.860 --> 01:01:52.710
 real man does you know a real man leads regardless of what other people are

01:01:52.710 --> 01:01:57.480
 doing you know the Bible says if thou faint in the day of adversity thy

01:01:57.480 --> 01:02:03.330
 strength is small right hey Jesus he did not faint he was strong he kept

01:02:03.330 --> 01:02:08.710
 going hey people lie about him attack him you know Herod wants to kill him his

01:02:08.710 --> 01:02:12.970
 disciples want to leave him he just keeps going he just keeps doing what is

01:02:12.970 --> 01:02:17.080
 right go to Hebrews chapter 12 number four here's a big one of why Jesus is

01:02:17.080 --> 01:02:25.310
 just the man number four Jesus endured suffering without complaining without

01:02:25.310 --> 01:02:29.800
 complaining I want you to show me the verse in the Bible where Jesus

01:02:29.800 --> 01:02:34.560
 complains to any man show me the verse where Jesus goes up to his disciples

01:02:34.560 --> 01:02:40.710
 and complains about his workload his hunger his stress his fatigue you will

01:02:40.710 --> 01:02:45.240
 not find it you do see Jesus pouring out his heart to God what is that sorry

01:02:45.240 --> 01:02:49.540
 you do see you do see Jesus you know pouring out his heart to God and of

01:02:49.540 --> 01:02:54.590
 course you know lamentation unto God that's fine right hey men tell your

01:02:54.590 --> 01:02:57.970
 struggles to Jesus tell it to Jesus alone that's great but you know what a

01:02:57.970 --> 01:03:05.080
 real man just endures hardship endures suffering without complaining it is not

01:03:05.080 --> 01:03:11.960
 a masculine attitude to be a complainer it's annoying it rubs everyone the wrong way you're

01:03:11.960 --> 01:03:16.830
 losing aura points immediately when you're complaining right Jesus didn't do that look at

01:03:16.830 --> 01:03:22.850
 Hebrews 12 verse 2 looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith who for the joy that was

01:03:22.850 --> 01:03:29.240
 set before him endured the cross despising the shame notice he didn't like to be crucified he

01:03:29.240 --> 01:03:36.710
 didn't like to be hanging on a cross for six hours he didn't like to be spit on in his face

01:03:36.710 --> 01:03:41.570
 he didn't like to have people lie about him and mocked him he despised it but he endured it

01:03:41.570 --> 01:03:48.160
 is what he did and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God for notice consider him that

01:03:48.160 --> 01:03:55.350
 endured such contradiction of sinners against himself why lest ye be wearied and faint in your

01:03:55.350 --> 01:04:03.210
 minds ye have not yet resisted unto blood striving against sin so notice we are supposed to consider

01:04:03.210 --> 01:04:09.800
 the lord Jesus Christ and think about how wow he endured the cross despising the shame man he he

01:04:09.800 --> 01:04:13.830
 went through it he went through all the suffering that he went through on the cross and you know

01:04:13.830 --> 01:04:18.890
 what he didn't complain he just endured it and we're supposed to consider that so that we don't get

01:04:18.890 --> 01:04:26.320
 weary and faint in our minds you know a lot of men today are just so dang weak i'm talking weak

01:04:26.320 --> 01:04:31.140
 mentally right now where it's just like they complain about the work that they have to do

01:04:31.140 --> 01:04:36.110
 they i mean if they work a job outside they complain about the sun if they work a job inside

01:04:36.110 --> 01:04:41.080
 they'll complain about the chair like just a bunch of complainers in this world that we have today

01:04:41.080 --> 01:04:45.490
 you know what you don't find that with jesus you don't see him complaining now let's remind

01:04:45.490 --> 01:04:51.470
 ourselves go uh if you would to yeah you can stay there in hebrews let's remind ourselves what is

01:04:51.470 --> 01:04:57.230
 some of the suffering that jesus endured and let's compare that to our lives right hey we have not

01:04:57.230 --> 01:05:02.150
 yet resisted unto blood the bible says striving against sin okay one of the things jesus was

01:05:02.150 --> 01:05:06.430
 falsely accused a lot of us i'm sure have gone through that first peter 2 23 says when he was

01:05:06.430 --> 01:05:14.490
 reviled reviled not again when he suffered he threatened not but he committed himself to him

01:05:14.490 --> 01:05:19.570
 that judgeth rightly righteously so notice he was reviled he was scorned he was spoken against and

01:05:19.570 --> 01:05:25.760
 what is man's reaction revile back right but jesus he just took it patiently he didn't complain when

01:05:25.760 --> 01:05:31.160
 he suffered he threatened not what does mankind do when we suffer or when we're threatened we

01:05:31.160 --> 01:05:35.920
 threaten back right hey you know you can't treat me this way you can't do look if there's anyone

01:05:35.920 --> 01:05:39.000
 who could have said you can't treat me this way i don't deserve this wouldn't have been the lord

01:05:39.000 --> 01:05:44.650
 jesus christ it's so funny how today is everyone wants to just be so perfectly justified and

01:05:44.650 --> 01:05:49.560
 recompense for everything it's like jesus didn't deserve anything wrong to him and he just suffered

01:05:49.560 --> 01:05:57.370
 it quietly he just suffered it patiently like a man he was obviously falsely accused he was

01:05:57.370 --> 01:06:02.990
 scourged right he was beaten with some sort of spiked instruments the bible says that you could

01:06:02.990 --> 01:06:07.640
 tell his bones you know what that means you could count his bones you know that means that his bones

01:06:07.640 --> 01:06:13.490
 were literally exposed from the severe whippings that he have think about what a gruesome sight

01:06:13.490 --> 01:06:17.960
 that must have been you know i'm sure you've had some injuries before in your life but few people

01:06:17.960 --> 01:06:23.360
 have had such terrible injuries where just their bones are exposed you just see their bones i mean

01:06:23.360 --> 01:06:28.220
 that's horrible he was beaten right the bible says he was buffeted what does that mean he was

01:06:28.220 --> 01:06:34.710
 beaten punched probably in the face his body was just socked continually he was humiliated obviously

01:06:34.710 --> 01:06:39.830
 the bible talks about how he was spat upon in his face you know his beard was ripped out which

01:06:39.830 --> 01:06:44.950
 that's both humiliating and also probably very painful how about the fact that he was stripped

01:06:44.950 --> 01:06:50.920
 of his clothing boy i'm starting to get upset just thinking about going through this giving vinegar

01:06:50.920 --> 01:06:56.280
 to drink as some sort of joke right making fun of him saying oh you know physician heal thyself

01:06:56.280 --> 01:07:01.770
 oh you saved others himself he cannot save come down now from the cross right meanwhile it's the

01:07:01.770 --> 01:07:06.050
 lord of heaven meanwhile it's the man christ jesus on the cross who's dying for their sins

01:07:06.050 --> 01:07:10.770
 by the way he's got the crown of thorns put on his head which look it's not like the hallmark

01:07:10.770 --> 01:07:14.490
 card where it's this pretty little crown you know from what i've researched the crown of thorns was

01:07:14.490 --> 01:07:19.160
 actually a sphere it's actually a sphere of spikes that they would just get with brute force and

01:07:19.160 --> 01:07:24.210
 just plant that thing hard on your head so that the spikes just go deep into your face and your

01:07:24.210 --> 01:07:29.220
 head and just cutting you like crazy it's not like a pretty little crown folks with some spikes on it

01:07:29.220 --> 01:07:35.560
 it's a horrific torture device the crown of thorns that was put on his head okay how about

01:07:35.560 --> 01:07:43.660
 him carrying the cross after being severely beaten after having tons of blood loss you think he'd be

01:07:43.660 --> 01:07:49.040
 dehydrated and weak but then he's got to carry this cross and you know what he was weak at one

01:07:49.040 --> 01:07:54.150
 point because they had to have someone come carry his cross simon the sirenian right he had to come

01:07:54.150 --> 01:08:00.980
 and bear the cross for the lord jesus christ then after all of that he gets nailed to the cross

01:08:00.980 --> 01:08:07.020
 hands you know nails through his hands through his feet and he's on that cross for six hours the

01:08:07.020 --> 01:08:14.010
 bible says i mean could you imagine doing that for five minutes while jesus is enduring it for six

01:08:14.010 --> 01:08:18.920
 hours and you know you don't see you don't see him complaining right you see in the garden he asks

01:08:18.920 --> 01:08:25.040
 the lord hey if there's any other way nevertheless thy will not mine be done that's a man right there

01:08:25.040 --> 01:08:30.680
 what a man that that sees suffering coming his way and says i'll walk towards that suffering and

01:08:30.680 --> 01:08:35.000
 i'll do it anyways knowing that i'm going to endure suffering knowing that something bad is

01:08:35.000 --> 01:08:40.930
 going to happen to me that is a man right there you know i i feel like today men have just lost

01:08:40.930 --> 01:08:46.940
 what it means to be a man and like look as a man i would at least sympathize with you and like i

01:08:46.940 --> 01:08:50.740
 wouldn't hold it against you if you went through injuries like this and you complained to me i'm

01:08:50.740 --> 01:08:54.080
 not saying he's necessarily right but i'm saying i wouldn't hold that against you hey if you're

01:08:54.080 --> 01:08:57.970
 in war you get your legs blown off and you're complaining like i wouldn't hold that against

01:08:57.970 --> 01:09:02.570
 you right but it's like you know men today are not complaining about getting their legs blown off in

01:09:02.570 --> 01:09:09.280
 combat about getting black lung from the coal mines about losing their hands from work you know

01:09:09.280 --> 01:09:13.000
 about being disabled because they got kicked by their horse or something like that or being

01:09:13.000 --> 01:09:18.700
 crucified or being killed or being persecuted men are complaining about the stupidest crap today

01:09:18.700 --> 01:09:24.010
 unbelievable like this video i saw this week of this comedian i don't know his name who cares

01:09:24.010 --> 01:09:28.210
 about this guy but this comedian just pissed me off because he made a video where he was just

01:09:28.210 --> 01:09:36.160
 complaining about having to serve in church he was just like you know these churches they must think

01:09:36.160 --> 01:09:43.290
 we have 36 hours in a day how do these churches out here expect me to work 40 hours a week 50

01:09:43.290 --> 01:09:49.410
 hours a week and then i got to work on the parking lot team then i got to be an usher then i got to

01:09:49.410 --> 01:09:56.210
 clean the building it's like you little baby you weak loser you pathetic excuse of a man

01:09:56.210 --> 01:10:01.550
 i mean you're supposed to consider the suffering that jesus had saying like oh lest you be weary

01:10:01.550 --> 01:10:06.230
 and faint in your minds i mean i wonder if this idiot just stopped for a minute and and just

01:10:06.230 --> 01:10:12.260
 thought about the suffering of jesus christ i wonder if he'd appreciate his 40 a week hour job

01:10:12.260 --> 01:10:18.590
 i wonder if he'd appreciate you know to be able to serve at the church that jesus died for what a

01:10:18.590 --> 01:10:23.610
 jerk and you know he acts like the church is just pressuring people oh you have to serve you have

01:10:23.610 --> 01:10:27.020
 to give all this extra time you have to put in all this extra work and i'm just thinking i have

01:10:27.020 --> 01:10:32.900
 the exact opposite mentality if you don't want to help with things at church if you don't want to

01:10:32.900 --> 01:10:37.900
 volunteer if i ask you to help me with something and you don't want to do it in your heart please

01:10:37.900 --> 01:10:46.520
 do not do it because who wants to be around a bunch of bad attitude ungrateful pathetic weak

01:10:46.520 --> 01:10:53.870
 effeminate men like that i mean you're a man and you can't work a job and hand someone a stinking

01:10:53.870 --> 01:11:00.160
 paper when they walk into the church oh i have to show i have to hand someone a paper oh i have to

01:11:00.160 --> 01:11:05.460
 read a chapter of the bible oh i have to lead a song i'll have to lead a soul winning time it's

01:11:05.460 --> 01:11:11.250
 like shut up shut your mouth and look if you if you feel that way honestly in your heart if you

01:11:11.250 --> 01:11:16.490
 feel that way like hey i don't want to do this i have too much going on look there's no pressure

01:11:16.490 --> 01:11:24.170
 i want to serve god with people who want to serve god and look the things that the bible commands us

01:11:24.170 --> 01:11:28.050
 to do hey i will preach that you need to do those things regardless of how you feel i don't care

01:11:28.050 --> 01:11:31.680
 how you feel about soul winning go soul winning because the bible says you have to go so you know

01:11:31.680 --> 01:11:36.290
 the bible does not say you have to work on the audio video stuff the bible does not say you have

01:11:36.290 --> 01:11:39.790
 to be an usher the bible does not say you have to be on the parking lot team which we don't definitely

01:11:39.790 --> 01:11:44.250
 don't have that right the bible does not say you have to clean the church building the bible does

01:11:44.250 --> 01:11:50.390
 not say you have to set up before events and all this stuff look it's better to have less people

01:11:50.390 --> 01:11:56.460
 with a good attitude than a bunch of angry complaining whining bitter people seriously

01:11:56.460 --> 01:12:01.370
 like i'm not making anyone do anything if you but here's the thing if you actually do help

01:12:01.370 --> 01:12:05.090
 with something if you do agree to do something hey if you do sign up to do something do it with a

01:12:05.090 --> 01:12:11.140
 good attitude right have a good attitude do it joyfully you know whatsoever you do do it as unto

01:12:11.140 --> 01:12:17.950
 christ and it's just so crazy today that what passes for a man is a guy that posts a video on

01:12:17.950 --> 01:12:23.690
 facebook of him complaining about working 40 to 50 hours a week and helping people park their cars

01:12:23.690 --> 01:12:29.340
 i mean men used to go to war folks men used to go to the moon folks all right i worked it in somehow

01:12:29.340 --> 01:12:35.650
 i knew i'd have to work it in today all right now men complain on facebook about their jobs

01:12:35.650 --> 01:12:45.560
 and serving in church that is a joke hebrews chapter number 11 and look the first word of

01:12:45.560 --> 01:12:51.140
 this verse in verse 35 is women you know a lot of godly christian women put these weak men to

01:12:51.140 --> 01:12:54.830
 shame because there's some women that have gone through some serious stuff there's some women that

01:12:54.830 --> 01:13:00.400
 have been steadfast hey there's some ladies that work super super hard at home way more than 40

01:13:00.400 --> 01:13:05.250
 or 50 hours a week and they serve in church with a good attitude how about these women verse 35

01:13:05.250 --> 01:13:12.530
 women received their dead raised to life again and others were tortured notice this not accepting

01:13:12.530 --> 01:13:18.200
 deliverance you know they're saying they were just enduring their persecution enduring their

01:13:18.200 --> 01:13:23.980
 tribulation they were willing to go through that they did not accept deliverance why that they

01:13:23.980 --> 01:13:29.290
 might obtain a better resurrection you know there's going to be a reward in heaven for people that

01:13:29.290 --> 01:13:34.380
 endure suffering with a good attitude you're going to have rewards in heaven for you know what maybe

01:13:34.380 --> 01:13:37.870
 you do have a hard life maybe you have a do do have a hard job but you say you know what my life

01:13:37.870 --> 01:13:43.120
 isn't about my job god didn't save me and put me in this world to put my 40 hours a week he put me

01:13:43.120 --> 01:13:46.910
 in this world to serve god and i'm going to do it with a good attitude you know you're gonna be

01:13:46.910 --> 01:13:50.870
 rewarded for that you're not going to be rewarded for working 40 hours a week you're not going to

01:13:50.870 --> 01:13:56.030
 be rewarded for doing your kush you know white collar job 40 hours a week there's no reward in

01:13:56.030 --> 01:14:02.090
 heaven for that but there is a reward for serving god and others had trial of cruel mockings and

01:14:02.090 --> 01:14:07.810
 scourgings yay moreover of bonds and imprisonment they were stoned yeah come talk to me when you're

01:14:07.810 --> 01:14:14.890
 stoned loser comedian he's probably stoned in a different way all right they were sawn asunder

01:14:14.890 --> 01:14:20.460
 boy that sounds horrific being sawn asunder we're tempted we're slain with a sword we're

01:14:20.460 --> 01:14:25.440
 wandered they wandered about in sheep skins and goat skins being destitute afflicted tormented

01:14:25.440 --> 01:14:31.650
 of whom the world was not worthy they wandered in deserts and in mountains and in dens and caves of

01:14:31.650 --> 01:14:40.160
 the earth you read that and then you hear wham parking lot team wham you know doing a church

01:14:40.160 --> 01:14:45.950
 activity cleaning the church helping with bulletins helping with song leading whatever it's like pour

01:14:45.950 --> 01:14:50.310
 you pour me and look i'm not sitting up here saying i've been through anything crazy hey i have not

01:14:50.310 --> 01:14:54.600
 yet resisted under blood i've got nothing to complain about folks i've got nothing to whine

01:14:54.600 --> 01:15:00.860
 about my life is pretty dang good when i read about jesus dying on the cross go to matthew chapter

01:15:00.860 --> 01:15:09.610
 number 20 matthew chapter number 20 number five what makes jesus the man number five jesus

01:15:09.610 --> 01:15:15.750
 accomplished what he set out to do because you know what a man he starts things and he finishes

01:15:15.750 --> 01:15:23.350
 them a man he has a vision he has a goal he has a task and he accomplishes that task task and he

01:15:23.350 --> 01:15:28.060
 doesn't complain while he's at it look at matthew 20 verse 17 and jesus going up to jerusalem took

01:15:28.060 --> 01:15:34.130
 the 12 disciples apart in the way and said unto them behold we go up to jerusalem and the son

01:15:34.130 --> 01:15:39.910
 of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes and they shall condemn him

01:15:39.910 --> 01:15:47.220
 to death and shall deliver him to the gentiles to mock and to scourge and to crucify him in the third

01:15:47.220 --> 01:15:53.420
 day he shall rise again i already kind of mentioned this but get this picture jesus knows that harm is

01:15:53.420 --> 01:15:57.600
 coming his way and you read this and it seems like he's just kind of nonchalantly telling his

01:15:57.600 --> 01:16:02.600
 disciples like yeah you know i'm gonna die i'm gonna be scourged and have all these bad things

01:16:02.600 --> 01:16:06.860
 happen to me i'm gonna raise again though praise god for that but imagine like imagine you're

01:16:06.860 --> 01:16:12.870
 walking into a situation where you say if i go through with this work if i obey god in this

01:16:12.870 --> 01:16:18.860
 situation i'm gonna get scourged i'm gonna get beaten i'm gonna get whipped i may even get

01:16:18.860 --> 01:16:23.820
 killed think about the type of person that it takes to know that and continue to do it anyways

01:16:23.820 --> 01:16:29.550
 it takes a man that's what it takes hey it takes the man christ jesus where he say hey i see the

01:16:29.550 --> 01:16:34.810
 cross i see the suffering i see the death and you know what i'm going anyways i'm going to that

01:16:34.810 --> 01:16:41.340
 destination go if you were to john 19 luke 951 says and it came to pass when the time was come

01:16:41.340 --> 01:16:47.540
 that he should be received up he steadfastly set his face to go to jerusalem notice he knew

01:16:47.540 --> 01:16:53.440
 what was coming and he steadfastly set his face to jerusalem he wasn't wishy washy about it he

01:16:53.440 --> 01:16:58.400
 wasn't unsure of himself he just said hey if this is god's will i'm going in that direction

01:16:58.400 --> 01:17:03.240
 you know a man should be willing to find out what god's will is for their life and say whatever

01:17:03.240 --> 01:17:08.220
 price god asks me to pay i'm willing to pay that price for the lord jesus christ that's what a real

01:17:08.220 --> 01:17:12.340
 man does and look that's going to be different for every single person but you know you know in your

01:17:12.340 --> 01:17:17.050
 heart you know when god is leading you to make a decision you know when you read something in the

01:17:17.050 --> 01:17:20.850
 bible and you say that right there was for me you know when you say hey that sermon right there was

01:17:20.850 --> 01:17:25.280
 for me yeah the preacher was talking about me you know a real man does he just does it he just

01:17:25.280 --> 01:17:31.870
 accomplishes it john 19 verse 30 when jesus therefore had received the vinegar he said what

01:17:31.870 --> 01:17:40.060
 it is finished and he bowed his head and gave up the ghost hey jesus finished he accomplished

01:17:40.060 --> 01:17:45.620
 what it is that he set out to do go to second timothy chapter number four second timothy chapter

01:17:45.620 --> 01:17:51.910
 number four i mean the story of the lord jesus christ would look quite different if it's just

01:17:51.910 --> 01:17:57.630
 like hey you know he did miracles he fed people he healed people he preached the word of god

01:17:57.630 --> 01:18:01.930
 and then you know he didn't die on the cross for our sins you know we wouldn't be here today

01:18:01.930 --> 01:18:07.750
 christianity wouldn't be here today you know what he finished second timothy four six you know the

01:18:07.750 --> 01:18:12.410
 apostle paul's another good example here for i'm now ready to be offered in the time of my departure

01:18:12.410 --> 01:18:18.330
 is at hand i have fought a good fight i have finished my course i have kept the faith i

01:18:18.330 --> 01:18:23.960
 wonder where the apostle paul drew that example from probably from the lord jesus christ right

01:18:23.960 --> 01:18:29.580
 where the apostle paul saying hey i have fought a good fight i'm gonna finish this race i finished

01:18:29.580 --> 01:18:34.600
 it says my course i've kept the faith henceforth there's laid up for me a crown of righteousness

01:18:34.600 --> 01:18:39.750
 which the lord the righteous judge shall give me at that day and not to me only but unto all them

01:18:39.750 --> 01:18:45.190
 also that love his appearing see the example jesus gave was so that we would look at his example

01:18:45.190 --> 01:18:50.110
 and follow in his steps and you know what for the apostle paul he's saying i fought a good fight i

01:18:50.110 --> 01:18:56.570
 have finished my course you know let's finish as christians let's not just get saved and have a

01:18:56.570 --> 01:19:02.950
 couple of years where we serve god and then fizzle out let's finish our race hey let's grow old

01:19:02.950 --> 01:19:07.720
 serving god let's be three to thrive right now let's be soul winning right now let's be three

01:19:07.720 --> 01:19:12.820
 to thrive and soul winning 20 30 40 50 years god willing from now why don't you actually finish

01:19:12.820 --> 01:19:17.750
 the christian race i'll tell you why because it takes a real man to do that or woman of god too

01:19:17.750 --> 01:19:21.460
 all right this is a man-centered sermon but you understand what i'm saying right you know take

01:19:21.460 --> 01:19:27.620
 someone of character and strength to do that anyone can start doing something anyone can

01:19:27.620 --> 01:19:33.230
 start doing something you know anyone could start a ministry anyone could start preaching the gospel

01:19:33.230 --> 01:19:37.750
 anyone could start reading the bible that's not impressive you know it's impressive someone who

01:19:37.750 --> 01:19:43.460
 finishes what they've started you know it's impressive is the young man or young woman who

01:19:43.460 --> 01:19:47.120
 starts reading the bible and they finish reading the bible you know it's impressive someone who

01:19:47.120 --> 01:19:51.390
 starts memorizing the chapter and they finish memorizing that chapter you know it's impressive

01:19:51.390 --> 01:19:57.650
 someone who like pastor cobb who's serving god in his 80s finishing his course right not falling out

01:19:57.650 --> 01:20:01.750
 of the race in your 30s and your 40s and your 50s or something like that you know how about hey

01:20:01.750 --> 01:20:07.660
 it's real easy to get married why don't you finish married it's real easy to get married

01:20:07.660 --> 01:20:13.120
 people could do it in las vegas and reno in minutes right go to the judge and just boom get

01:20:13.120 --> 01:20:18.670
 married but you know what it takes to finish that your whole life is what it takes till death do a

01:20:18.670 --> 01:20:24.490
 spark you know raising your kids don't give up finish raising those kids you start a ministry

01:20:24.490 --> 01:20:29.860
 hey finish that ministry god calls you to do something in this life hey take heed to the

01:20:29.860 --> 01:20:36.750
 ministry that you've been given that thou fulfill it the bible says go to second timothy 1 second

01:20:36.750 --> 01:20:42.690
 timothy 1 look at verse number 12 it says for the witch cause i also suffer these things nevertheless

01:20:42.690 --> 01:20:47.220
 i'm not ashamed for i know whom i have believed who's that that's jesus you see where he's drawing

01:20:47.220 --> 01:20:52.960
 his inspiration because he's the man i'm persuaded that he is able to keep that which i've committed

01:20:52.960 --> 01:20:59.700
 unto him against that day hey he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day

01:20:59.700 --> 01:21:05.410
 of jesus christ jesus has given us all the tools we need to finish our course but you have to want

01:21:05.410 --> 01:21:09.870
 to finish your course you have to actually try to finish your course you actually have to be steadfast

01:21:09.870 --> 01:21:16.110
 look what you have to do verse 13 hold fast the form of sound words which thou hast heard of me

01:21:16.110 --> 01:21:21.980
 and faith and love which is in christ jesus you know you can't you can't finish your race without

01:21:21.980 --> 01:21:25.290
 being someone that reads your bible i can just tell you right now if you're not someone that

01:21:25.290 --> 01:21:28.290
 reads your bible you're not going to finish the race there's a lot of people who do read their

01:21:28.290 --> 01:21:31.580
 bible a lot that don't finish the race but i'm just telling you right now if you don't read the

01:21:31.580 --> 01:21:38.030
 bible you will not finish your race verse 14 that good thing which was committed unto thee notice

01:21:38.030 --> 01:21:44.230
 heap by the holy ghost which dwelleth in us hey you know timothy had that gift of god that was

01:21:44.230 --> 01:21:50.240
 given unto him by the laying on of paul's hands he says that good thing that was given unto you

01:21:50.240 --> 01:21:55.410
 heap right hey anyone can start being a pastor maybe not anyone but a lot of people can start

01:21:55.410 --> 01:21:59.720
 becoming a pastor right hey and you can start that ministry but it's like don't you see a lot

01:21:59.720 --> 01:22:05.870
 of people fall when you see a lot of people quit don't you see a lot of people fall into sin hey

01:22:05.870 --> 01:22:13.710
 we need to keep that which has been committed unto us good isaiah 53 isaiah 53 last point about why

01:22:13.710 --> 01:22:20.940
 jesus is just the man number six because jesus carried the burdens of others a real man hey he

01:22:20.940 --> 01:22:27.710
 carries his own burdens doesn't whine and complain a real man doesn't just work 40 50 hours a week

01:22:27.710 --> 01:22:33.740
 do a couple easy no he carries the burdens of other people that's what a man does look at isaiah 53

01:22:33.740 --> 01:22:42.710
 verse 4 surely he hath noticed borne our griefs and carried our sorrows yet we did esteem him

01:22:42.710 --> 01:22:46.730
 stricken smitten of god and afflicted you know what a real man does is he bears other people's

01:22:46.730 --> 01:22:52.230
 griefs he bears other people's sorrows does that mean that jesus never had any grief of his own

01:22:52.230 --> 01:22:56.850
 of course he did does that mean he never had any sorrows he was a man of sorrows right he was

01:22:56.850 --> 01:23:02.040
 tempted in all points like as we are yet without sin but you know what a real man does is he bears

01:23:02.040 --> 01:23:06.510
 other people's grief and other people's sorrows you know what a weak man does is he comes home

01:23:06.510 --> 01:23:12.300
 from work and he complains to his wife about how bad his life is about how hard his job is

01:23:12.300 --> 01:23:17.030
 about how mean his boss is about how no one wants to be his friend no one wants to sit with him no

01:23:17.030 --> 01:23:21.020
 one wants to talk to him or something like that like that is not a manly thing to have your wife

01:23:21.020 --> 01:23:27.130
 carrying your sorrows and your burdens right hey you need to carry her burdens you need to be her

01:23:27.130 --> 01:23:32.700
 shoulder to cry on you need to be hey honey it's gonna be okay we're gonna get through this no

01:23:32.700 --> 01:23:37.350
 worries right you don't want to be the one that's freaking out all the time let me just help you men

01:23:37.350 --> 01:23:41.240
 like look if you really really need to tell us give me a call and i'll like slap you around a

01:23:41.240 --> 01:23:44.630
 little bit something like that like i'll help you but like don't call your wife freaking out like

01:23:44.630 --> 01:23:49.020
 the world's ending that's not a good idea for your marriage again your aura is just going down the

01:23:49.020 --> 01:23:54.610
 trash with her okay you need to be a man you need to carry the burdens of others here's a great way

01:23:54.610 --> 01:23:59.210
 here's just a practical way about how all of us can carry other people's burdens how about prayer

01:23:59.210 --> 01:24:04.330
 you know a lot of christians just don't pray at all and that's a shame we need to revive prayer

01:24:04.330 --> 01:24:09.200
 again in christianity and in churches and i bet you a lot of you if you pray it's maybe really

01:24:09.200 --> 01:24:13.300
 quick just at dinner for your food you're just repeating these things and then maybe if you

01:24:13.300 --> 01:24:18.080
 pray more than that maybe you pray for yourself and then maybe maybe if you pray for that you

01:24:18.080 --> 01:24:21.610
 might pray for like your wife or your kids or something like that but you know why don't you

01:24:21.610 --> 01:24:26.620
 bear some burdens why don't you be a man why don't you take you know our our bulletin and bear some

01:24:26.620 --> 01:24:30.150
 burdens of other people why don't you bear some burdens of people in california that you might

01:24:30.150 --> 01:24:34.680
 not ever even see why don't you bear some burdens of some preachers in the in the philippines that

01:24:34.680 --> 01:24:39.280
 have sacrificed a lot leaving the united states of america that are doing a great work for god out

01:24:39.280 --> 01:24:43.290
 there why don't you bear some burdens of other people because you know what jesus did he bore

01:24:43.290 --> 01:24:50.140
 other people's griefs and sorrows verse 5 but he was wounded for our transgressions he was bruised

01:24:50.140 --> 01:24:57.430
 for our iniquities the chastisement of our peace was upon him and with his stripes we are healed

01:24:57.430 --> 01:25:05.430
 you know jesus is just the ultimate man you know why because he carried a weight so heavy that no

01:25:05.430 --> 01:25:10.180
 one else could carry it right what is that's the weight of sin hey there's a lot of strong men

01:25:10.180 --> 01:25:13.670
 physically in this world but you know it doesn't matter how strong you are in the flesh doesn't

01:25:13.670 --> 01:25:17.480
 matter how mighty you are in the flesh doesn't have much money or power influence you have

01:25:17.480 --> 01:25:21.620
 no one can lift that weight of sin no one can bear that weight of sin on their own people try

01:25:21.620 --> 01:25:26.620
 right it's called repent of your sin salvation work salvation where they try to carry that weight

01:25:26.620 --> 01:25:30.910
 don't worry jesus i've got it i've got it it's like you know my kids joking around or something

01:25:30.910 --> 01:25:33.920
 while i'm lifting and like touching the ends of the weight like they're lifting it's like

01:25:33.920 --> 01:25:40.140
 that's like us trying to repent of our sins no folks jesus has it all right the man's got the

01:25:40.140 --> 01:25:44.290
 weight we'll just let we'll just back off like all right jesus you deadlift that you go ahead

01:25:44.290 --> 01:25:49.070
 and just deadlift the sin of the whole entire world you know we can't bear that you can't even

01:25:49.070 --> 01:25:54.750
 bear your own sin not to mention other people we had to have someone else go to act chapter number

01:25:54.750 --> 01:26:00.660
 four while you're turning there act 10 verse 43 to him give all the prophets witness that through

01:26:00.660 --> 01:26:06.520
 his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins how do you get that weight of

01:26:06.520 --> 01:26:11.750
 sin taken off of you you got to believe in jesus you got to trust that he's got the weight you

01:26:11.750 --> 01:26:18.410
 don't try to lift the weight yourself you trust hey jesus bore it all literally he's the man act

01:26:18.410 --> 01:26:25.430
 chapter number four you know before salvation we spiritually you know what we are we're weak lame

01:26:25.430 --> 01:26:31.280
 blind and you know in the bible there's all these different stories of jesus healing people right

01:26:31.280 --> 01:26:36.460
 that have physical deformities they can't walk they can't speak they can't see and what is that

01:26:36.460 --> 01:26:41.290
 picture picture someone that's unsaved right and there's a story in acts where peter and the

01:26:41.290 --> 01:26:46.170
 apostles they heal a man that had this look what it says in verse number eight it says then peter

01:26:46.170 --> 01:26:51.680
 filled with the holy ghost sent unto them you rulers of the people and elders of israel if we

01:26:51.680 --> 01:26:57.800
 this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man by what means he is made whole be it

01:26:57.800 --> 01:27:03.200
 known unto you all and to all the people of israel that by the name of jesus christ of nazareth

01:27:03.200 --> 01:27:10.270
 whom ye crucified whom god raised from the dead even by him that this man stand before you whole

01:27:10.270 --> 01:27:16.480
 hey if someone is whole spiritually if someone is saved it's for one reason the name of jesus christ

01:27:16.480 --> 01:27:22.550
 it's not because the impotent man's one day just decided to try to you know wobble around on his

01:27:22.550 --> 01:27:26.750
 little nubs or something like that no it's just because he was totally healed by the name of

01:27:26.750 --> 01:27:33.340
 jesus christ and before we're saved we're just blind we're lame we're mute we're dumb we just

01:27:33.340 --> 01:27:37.650
 are completely helpless and we believe in jesus christ and we can just get up and we're made whole

01:27:37.650 --> 01:27:45.130
 we could see we could speak we could walk you know that salvation by faith in jesus christ and

01:27:45.130 --> 01:27:49.620
 and notice how it says in verse 10 he says whom ye crucified whom god raised from the dead of

01:27:49.620 --> 01:27:52.960
 course we're taking the lord's supper tonight what are we thinking about we're thinking about

01:27:52.960 --> 01:27:58.510
 the crucifixion of jesus christ go to matthew chapter number 11 the crucifixion of jesus christ

01:27:58.510 --> 01:28:04.380
 you know romans 15 one says we then we then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the

01:28:04.380 --> 01:28:08.500
 week and not to please ourselves why is he the man because you know what he bore other people's

01:28:08.500 --> 01:28:15.390
 infirmities he bore our sicknesses he bore our infirmities he bore our sins he's just the man

01:28:15.390 --> 01:28:25.340
 for bearing those things look what it says in matthew chapter number 11 verse number 29 obviously

01:28:25.340 --> 01:28:29.980
 we talk about salvation believing in christ but notice what it says in verse 29 it says take my

01:28:29.980 --> 01:28:36.730
 yoke upon you and learn of me for i am meek and lowly in heart you shall find rest unto your souls

01:28:36.730 --> 01:28:43.300
 for my yoke is easy and my burden is light when it comes to salvation jesus he bears all the weight

01:28:43.300 --> 01:28:48.630
 he does all the works doesn't he's nothing we have to do to be saved except believe on the lord

01:28:48.630 --> 01:28:53.230
 jesus christ no works required but you know after that he doesn't just want to save us and have us

01:28:53.230 --> 01:28:59.020
 just sit on our butts and be lazy and do nothing notice he invites us to what to his yoke what is

01:28:59.020 --> 01:29:06.230
 a yoke it's something that the oxen put on themselves to do what labor to work you know

01:29:06.230 --> 01:29:12.120
 what those oxen are doing they're bearing other people's burdens right and you know that's what

01:29:12.120 --> 01:29:17.020
 we should do when we get saved hey thank you lord jesus for bearing my sins that weight that

01:29:17.020 --> 01:29:21.530
 there's no way i can lift but you know what it's just like imagine jesus healing someone

01:29:21.530 --> 01:29:26.150
 that could never walk that could never stand and he just heals them he just makes them whole and

01:29:26.150 --> 01:29:31.900
 then that man just sits down and just stays seated and just stays stays down for the rest

01:29:31.900 --> 01:29:35.780
 of his life hey he just raises lazarus from the dead and he's just like i'm gonna go lay down

01:29:35.780 --> 01:29:39.980
 in the tomb i'm just gonna go back to sleep this is like the christian who's saved make no mistakes

01:29:39.980 --> 01:29:44.040
 they're saved but then they don't go and want to work for god they don't want to bear other

01:29:44.040 --> 01:29:47.720
 people's burdens hey hey you're saved by faith you know what then you should put on that yoke

01:29:47.720 --> 01:29:53.920
 and you know what it is easy it is life in comparison to the yoke of sin the parking lot

01:29:53.920 --> 01:29:59.160
 team is easier than being a drunkard folks folding bulletins is better than having bastard children

01:29:59.160 --> 01:30:05.740
 and paying child support you know serving god putting on the yoke of jesus christ serving

01:30:05.740 --> 01:30:10.420
 other people being a soul winner being free to thrive living a clean life being faithful to

01:30:10.420 --> 01:30:16.980
 your spouse reading the bible memorizing the bible that is a light yoke folks compared to what this

01:30:16.980 --> 01:30:23.570
 world is doing i mean this world is filled with just depression and drug abuse and suicide and

01:30:23.570 --> 01:30:28.410
 and just adultery just all these issues why because they've got the yoke of sin on them

01:30:28.410 --> 01:30:33.580
 that's a lot worse and here's the thing these people that complain about serving god oh i have

01:30:33.580 --> 01:30:39.260
 to serve god oh serve in church uh look the moment you take that yoke off you'll find a much heavier

01:30:39.260 --> 01:30:43.870
 yoke waiting for you the moment you say oh i gotta get out of church church is so terrible

01:30:43.870 --> 01:30:47.570
 serving god is so terrible i'm tired of getting yelled at you know you're gonna find a much

01:30:47.570 --> 01:30:54.000
 worse ox to work with you're gonna find a much worse yoke to bear on yourself i'm just telling

01:30:54.000 --> 01:30:58.920
 you it's like if you're wise you know you'll just put on jesus's yoke because his burden is easy

01:30:59.490 --> 01:31:09.620
 it is light go to first timothy chapter number two first timothy chapter number two of course

01:31:09.620 --> 01:31:14.340
 tonight we're celebrating the lord's supper and when i just think about all the great things that

01:31:14.340 --> 01:31:20.880
 jesus did for us i just think man what a man jesus is the man hey he's human but isn't jesus just the

01:31:20.880 --> 01:31:26.390
 man isn't he just the best man there ever was isn't he just the best example of masculinity it

01:31:26.390 --> 01:31:31.600
 could possibly be you know jesus young man he should be your hero because he is just the man

01:31:31.600 --> 01:31:40.540
 first Timothy two five for there's one god one mediator between god and men the man christ jesus

01:31:40.540 --> 01:31:46.250
 who gave himself a ransom for all to be testified in due time let's have a word of prayer and then

01:31:46.250 --> 01:31:51.670
 we'll go ahead and take part of the lord's supper or thank you so much for your word thank you for

01:31:51.670 --> 01:31:56.410
 sending us your son jesus christ to bear that weight that none of us could bear to be such a

01:31:56.410 --> 01:32:02.750
 good example of a man in every area of life what i pray all of us in here would look at your examples

01:32:02.750 --> 01:32:08.850
 and just consider in our lives where we need to match more with your character and your example

01:32:08.850 --> 01:32:14.010
 especially i pray for the men in this room that they would not look to worldly influencers

01:32:14.010 --> 01:32:20.520
 as an example of manhood like andrew tade or some sort of professional athlete help us all to look

01:32:20.520 --> 01:32:28.580
 to the lord jesus christ as our hero an example of manliness in jesus name we pray amen all right so

01:32:28.580 --> 01:32:35.070
 at this time we are going to start partaking of the lord's supper here if you would please turn

01:32:35.070 --> 01:32:47.470
 your bibles to first corinthians 11 first corinthians 11 now first corinthians chapter

01:32:47.470 --> 01:32:56.180
 number 11 look what it says in verse 26 it says for as often as he eat this bread and drink this

01:32:56.180 --> 01:33:03.590
 cup you do show the lord's death till he comes so what are we doing tonight we are picturing the

01:33:03.590 --> 01:33:09.810
 death of the lord jesus christ we are not partaking in some sort of weird catholic doctrine of trans

01:33:09.810 --> 01:33:16.620
 substantiation this does not provide salvation this doesn't become jesus's body this doesn't

01:33:16.620 --> 01:33:21.850
 become his blood what we're doing is we're picturing the death of the lord jesus christ

01:33:21.850 --> 01:33:28.020
 now a lot of churches uh let's keep reading here verse number 27 it says wherefore whosoever shall

01:33:28.020 --> 01:33:36.110
 eat this bread and drink this cup of the lord unworthily shall be guilty of the body and blood

01:33:36.110 --> 01:33:41.860
 of the lord the bible says that this is a serious event that we're partaking of and you need to be

01:33:41.860 --> 01:33:47.810
 worthy to partake of the lord's supper what does that mean you need to be saved okay so a lot of

01:33:47.810 --> 01:33:53.920
 churches will practice closed communion where they won't allow people that aren't like baptized

01:33:53.920 --> 01:33:59.630
 members of their church to participate in the lord's supper i'm not going to police that but

01:33:59.630 --> 01:34:04.920
 notice what the bible does say it says but let a man examine himself and so let him eat of that

01:34:04.920 --> 01:34:11.620
 bread and drink of that cup why for he that eateth and drinketh unworthily eateth and drinketh

01:34:11.620 --> 01:34:17.620
 damnation to himself not discerning the lord's body so look obviously if you don't believe

01:34:17.620 --> 01:34:21.880
 salvation is by faith alone if you think you lose your salvation let me just help you don't partake

01:34:21.880 --> 01:34:26.240
 of the lord's supper right you need to be taking of these things worthily also i believe if you're

01:34:26.240 --> 01:34:30.520
 involved in any type of sin that's worthy of getting you kicked out of church you know because

01:34:30.520 --> 01:34:34.910
 first chrithians chapter number five talks about people that were not even supposed to what eat

01:34:34.910 --> 01:34:41.610
 with right those are people that are what covetousness extortioners railers drunken drunkards

01:34:41.610 --> 01:34:45.900
 that list that's in first chrithians five look i don't know what's going on in everyone's life

01:34:45.900 --> 01:34:50.170
 but if that's you do yourself a favor and don't partake in the lord's supper because the bible

01:34:50.170 --> 01:34:55.540
 talks about people eating and drinking unworthily for this cause many sleep meaning people have died

01:34:55.540 --> 01:34:59.990
 from taking the lord's supper unworthily and many are weak and sickly among you and look

01:34:59.990 --> 01:35:03.800
 i'm not going to go investigate you or anything like that i've had people tell me hey i'm not

01:35:03.800 --> 01:35:07.380
 taking lord's supper i didn't say well why you know tell me right now what that is i was like

01:35:07.380 --> 01:35:11.420
 all right you're not taking lord's supper that's between you and god just don't do it though if

01:35:11.420 --> 01:35:15.880
 you're not worthy to take the lord's supper okay now at this time obviously you know we're a family

01:35:15.880 --> 01:35:19.310
 integrated church we love having the kids in the service but for this one evening we just asked

01:35:19.310 --> 01:35:23.610
 that the kids would be quiet and reverent and if they just get too crazy please just take them out

01:35:23.610 --> 01:35:28.470
 right away the ushers have been instructed to make sure that mothers and the mother baby room will get

01:35:28.470 --> 01:35:35.010
 what they need please no talking or texting also you're going to receive both the bread and the

01:35:35.010 --> 01:35:39.160
 wine before we partake of the lord's supper so when an usher gives you one or the other don't

01:35:39.160 --> 01:35:45.720
 just immediately partake of it we'll partake of it together go to luke chapter number 22 luke

01:35:45.720 --> 01:36:00.730
 chapter number 22 luke 22 verse number 14 the bible says and when the hour was come he sat down in

01:36:00.730 --> 01:36:06.660
 the 12 apostles with him and he said unto them with desire i have desired to eat this Passover

01:36:06.660 --> 01:36:12.970
 with you before i suffer for i say unto you i will not eat more any more thereof until it be

01:36:12.970 --> 01:36:19.630
 fulfilled in the kingdom of god and he took the cup and gave thanks and said this take this and

01:36:19.630 --> 01:36:24.810
 divide it among yourselves for i say unto you i will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the

01:36:24.810 --> 01:36:30.830
 kingdom of god shall come so at this time i'm going to start filling the cups with the wine

01:36:30.830 --> 01:36:34.930
 picturing the shed blood of the lord jesus christ this time the ushers can come forward and piano

01:41:42.990 --> 01:41:48.980
 unto you that the lord jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread and when he had

 remembrance of me let's pray lord thank you so much for giving us your son jesus christ thank you

01:42:01.720 --> 01:42:07.750
 that he was just willing to endure the pain and suffering that was inflicted upon his body so that

01:42:07.750 --> 01:42:13.100
 we could be saved lord you know without his death we would be without hope in this world thank you

01:42:13.100 --> 01:42:18.310

 do ye as oft as you drink it in remembrance of me let's pray lord thank you for the shed blood of

01:42:46.220 --> 01:42:51.680

 says in matthew 26 verse 30 and when they had sung in him they went out into the mount of olives

01:43:16.860 --> 01:43:22.260
 so jesus and his last supper they ended it together by singing him so we're going to
