Good weekend. You know, the stadiums are filled up with people watching football Wanda's favorite game. So it's a great weekend. Do you like football and what you will see is you will see stadiums spill and if you look at this, there's going to be the fan the band comes to the game because it's playoff game. They come to buy the jerseys and put on a team by individual player jersey. They may want to take part in a spectacle. They want to see I want to see the opening ceremonies watch all the people just go absolutely crazy, right so that the band is ready common and just be part of a spectacle. Who are the following? I mean these people they are crazy right now. You see them dress up it is all these different uniforms. You see them take and put on uniforms light. The dog pound in Cleveland for the next thirteen have growing up in a household like happening with my grandchildren now where you are and don't ever come home. So you are at. You're giving you at the dock memorabilia. Somebody wanted but so they're going to be a duck. Is there going to be a dark pan? So you grow up? From generation to generation memorabilia and stories about whether using or when they're fully invested in the bad times.

When you look at the stadium so you can't tell from a distance.

You you can look high high above and look down and you see before wearing the same team uniforms and they're doing their hair like the difference between the fan.

What's the question of the day when Jesus looks at his church the body of Christ. Does he see when he looks in his church in the United States today? Is it filled with or is it filled with?

It's a real question. Is he is looking down. I have hope that he's going to find dams are the ones that they come to church and they have a bumper sticker, you know the fish on the car and they wear the gold cross and maybe don't have a really nice ride with the new international version for the potluck Sandy, for the programs. They come for me. I want to be there for great worship or the good word. I just want to be part of the spectacle kind of what I want. Star Wars the ones that come in and say hey, I'm headed to the body. I'm committed to each one of you when you're walking through it on Wacom. When when you're hurting I remember when when you have an easy time, they're they're committed to the outcome. When when when were planted into a body or plant it in for a purpose because there's a specific outcome the Christ calling them whatever that is to other zoos are committed to the good times.

The committed to where the worship isn't so great. When it's his amazing, they're committed to the word when the pastor gives a good word or I just wanted. Call Tammy Mendoza battery heard a bad word.

Give me the in the cleaning when the uniform getting dirty on the uniforms get nest. diminutive to that So do we have churches are filled with man who follows? It's a tough question. The other question is and I think we need to take it down to the micro. I had to ask myself.

Is a parent or a ball?

Needs to be asked when Jesus was thinking about this. I'm sure that he was fully committed to wanting followers not fans in every sense of the word if you want in Luke 9:23 says this whoever wants to be my disciple. They must follow Do you know where in the Bible it speaks of five times about five times?

I believe I believe I believe in what he says.

Always use in the Bible. What time will you be 20 times follow when I don't have to be committed when I don't have to be over in bed when I just come in on Sunday night. That's that's what I do. Which of the following is a different thing because I found where is Jesus going? He's not going into the Gulf Coast places or prisons. He looks for the dark web.

Nationwide there's starving. I need you to go across the house to the streets in this house that you really haven't wanted to knock on that door because

You know, he's going to those places where I might make you feel. Am I going to fall?

Am I going to a foreign country in my neighborhood in a maybe a dark bar or some other place? Luke 14 says this and this is Gigi suppose one of you wants to build the Tower love you first sit down and estimated cost to see if you have enough money to complete it. Crazy way the foundation and we're not able to finish it everyone who sees a little bit when we come to him and I think this is give their life to Christ, but we don't follow up with this that listen.

There's a cop. This is what Jesus said you need to think about. This don't just come in to take Bible.

Cuz he's going to ask you.

Goes on or supposed game is about a war against another kid.

If he's not able he will send out a delegation while the other is still a long way off and you ask the terms of peace. Rock returns cheats

So the question for us on this has the following in Jesus cost me something. And I would add as it cost me something this last month. How's it cost me something yesterday or even this morning? Essex House. Giving him something that maybe I wanted to hang on to a word with somebody. I went to go talk to somebody about my testimony when I really didn't want to have I done something. summer

the question, bro

In a book called Rich Dad Poor Dad on it but it's up a person that responds to people wanting to take your time money and effort to invest in real estate. And this is what the book is about how that you real estate in getting well and he says what they do, but the reason I don't

So so I just don't in bed and he says when someone says I don't want to fix the toilet what they're saying, is that a problem.

Persona Wiki toilet or the cost is another reason to never attempt to achieve their goals.

So Jesus says there's a cop is that what is that? What is prohibiting us from being a true follower will believe in him but we won't necessarily follow. The thing is all over the Bible. The people that we read about leaving his band is pram. Joseph Blair Castle prison in false accusations Esther potentially Blue's Room Jesus he had to cross. The disciples they all died a horrible Dad. They were martyred except for one see Jesus sitting everything. I want everything. So are there parts of our Lives when we say? Hey Jesus?

Don't just dismiss that all ya really ask yourself that question. Is there something in my life where I was at Jesus that's just all the months.

Because I need a call or there's a class. There's an identification with the T. I'm going to identify with the team that's going to take.

If the team needs to change and its offense or defense to get better, then that's on me.

I need you to give up something. I need you to change in a way that you're not comfortable with. I need you to take and give up some technology removing me from contact with others. I need you to take a nap and establish a friendship review of a friendship it or not want it. I need you to change your job or your finances or whatever it is. I need you to change in this area. There's going to be a cop, but he has my best interest if you want me to. Okay, I believe.

Do anything it is really going to affect me just as long as it doesn't push it something. I'm not good at Jesus.

Jesus Lamb of God. Don't ask me to start a small group. Jesus you know what? You know, what don't ask me to try to scratch it. Jesus I have enough on my table. I got more than enough, so don't ask me to come out.

Jesus going to come into my home. Please come into my home, but don't ever ask me to give up.

Cuz I'm good Jesus. You know what bless me at work. I need your blessing at work, but we stay out of this meeting Jesus. Here's my Thai. Here's my Thai, but but don't ask me to get my time. Don't ask me to get my TV. Don't ask me to give my whatever it is. You just need to stay on here.

Idlewild

Jesus Seated on the Bible said he's got his disciples down there at his Peds and the wind blowing and it's probably a warm day. Good day. He talks about is he's basically saying and then was I know you have tendencies. And you will give me just enough and you'll remain a fan. But I want the master. He says I am I want the master key. I want every area of your wife I want to know is an end to make sure and here's the thing is that I have so much so so whatcha lookin context with the Bible when I read it. I put it as an apple pies to me. I'm part of a bigger is a property. He wants my key in my life because he doesn't want any weakness on the team. He wants the team to be to take a minute to finish line to get to the goal. And so he wants her Masterpiece of the enemy can't come in and is significant because here's the thing, it's not I mean,

It's a weed man. It's his body.

Why because he wants to percent of medium shirt without stain or Mike or any other women?

That's when he wants to present. He's not presenting to this Barber Craig. He's presenting the church.

Geez made in Jesus made it clear the ball on him. Not too. You have to die walking humility. We need to take him reject the praise man. It's not about the phrase Matt. It's about embracing a childlikeness.

I'm not so concerned about having all the things in the world. I just want to get my wife pranks and then it honors him. Axton 9 to sell and let me by Zayn and seeking our nothingness. What you a picture of her son like this. And as I was thinking about those, what is that look like what was Saints Tim Tim Watson humility. I was something said he's about God and take it seems like that life is just simple for him because he's not caught up in the drama of word or politics of the day when you speak to him. There's always thinking about God and seen any really have no use for worldly ideas of excitement.

Now here's the thing if you thought Tim I just want to speak about God. I just want to know what God is doing Simple why you know, what's sad is that even inside the church, but primarily outside pictures, but a lot inside the turn water into Farms Jesus every time I talk to him.

in reality The thing is that we need to be all we need to make a decision. Are we or not because

Church Agoura Hills distance, this is 2018. 215 million Christians face significant roles of persecution in the world 2018 researchers are now living in a place where they're fading is illegal for bid or the person who

During this reporting. 2018 3066 Christian 1200 a thousand were raped or sexually harassed and 793 or attack. If you aren't even watching what's happening in China? China to crack down on the church They're starting to go after the church is once again there in China is going after the church that's in it started with a shuttle now that we're reporters back to the state of the difference on the good day on the good day to stay on the cold the day when it's raining. When will it stop when it's hard when you start to see is the stadium empty out?

Is Scott Hall?

It's not tall. This is because when people elect to not come into the body. And here's what happens. This is when the team.

This is when the team need fell on these days when it's cold when it's hard when they're having to try to push through when they're trying to get to take it and get to the Finish Line. This is what?

Open Seattle. They called the 12th man and it filled with all the powers of the Seattle Seahawks and they called the cold man. Why because there's a but because of the stadium being so loud Rock and pause opposing team to fall start in blues water yard. So they're in so does the stadium infield.

When I was in the service and I was in Hong Kong we were let off the ship and went out into the City and if you were still on all the different ways in and on one of the tables was a pile of Rolex watches from a distance. You couldn't tell if it was real or I mean getting look real. So as I walked up and I said hey, how much is a Rolex watch and he said it was $20. There's no way that you are at least that's not true. I believe it's the same way in the word. Look at God's word and say are we looking at our way? And are we a fan or a follower? We can apply a text to our life? And so the first one is are you on the sidelines or another part of the team or are you functioning in the body of the law?

1st Corinthians, 12:27 says this now you are the body of Christ each. One of you is part of its. So are you on the sidelines or are you part of the team?

Jesus said if you want to follow me must pick up your cross. This is why I heard this over and over and I think it's happening in some phenomenon in our society today because of the protective services all over the place. So people will say it is going to be a Christian but I think you could be a good Christian daughter having to go and be part of the church one live. I don't I don't need to be part of the body. well GOP if you believe in you turn to surrender your life to Christ identify with Christ, but you're awesome.

The function of the Bible the body of Christ, but no price that's good enough for me. I don't need So is a Norovirus stay over here, right? What what happens is is that the bottom you'll be here in the body of Christ is another alarm in two legs all the organs in the brain and what stomach these arms are going out and Lily people up and holding on to people and they're going out and opening doors were people need to be loved and the body and the new place and new experiences with Christ.

And the arm is not getting everything. It should be getting with the body and so the arm starts to get weak because it's not getting the nutrients. It doesn't listen to strong. That's not lifting. Take it out of the person is selfish around the singleness and say what happens if this body has an extra. How much more can the body do? How many more people can be reached?
