WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:13.240 Well, as we open up this morning, children, if you've not already taken your step out, if you're children, kindergarten through second grade, you're free to leave now, so you have to listen to me. 00:00:13.859 --> 00:00:23.820 But good morning, church. That's wonderful. Good morning. This is a wonderful crowd. I'm going to say something to you, and it's going to make sense to like maybe two or three of y'all. 00:00:25.300 --> 00:00:27.460 Omnis Vita Servitium Est. 00:00:27.460 --> 00:00:33.500 What does that mean? It means every life is a servitude. 00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:39.960 Ooh, okay, that got a little weird, right? Every life is a servitude. All life is slavery. 00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:43.920 To the modern ear, that word slavery is a oh-no-no word. 00:00:45.500 --> 00:00:55.420 These words were penned or spoken by the great Roman imperial mind of Seneca, and he said these things not as a Christian. 00:00:55.420 --> 00:00:58.380 He was a stoic, and if you know anything about that, you kind of have a background. 00:00:58.940 --> 00:01:05.719 So he didn't live very Christianly, but he does find a bit of a little truth, a little nugget of truth in that phrase there. 00:01:06.060 --> 00:01:08.260 You will be a slave to something in life. 00:01:08.820 --> 00:01:09.480 You will be. 00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:12.579 You will always be a worker in some ways. 00:01:12.660 --> 00:01:18.359 Whether you are out working a job or you are a stay-at-home mom, stay-at-home dad. 00:01:18.600 --> 00:01:22.840 Whether you are lazy, you're working towards your laziness. 00:01:22.980 --> 00:01:25.420 How can I be more lazy? Sometimes you try to find out. 00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:33.200 You will always be in servitude, whether to the systems and the ways of this world or to Christ Jesus. 00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:40.159 You will always be a servant of something, whether it be the systems of the world or Christ Jesus. 00:01:40.900 --> 00:01:51.040 And who or what your life is in service to will determine how you work, why you work, and ultimately what your reward is in eternity. 00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:56.520 So guys, the scripture tells us, in a couple places in John 8, 34, it tells us, 00:01:56.519 --> 00:02:03.199 Jesus says, truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin. 00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:14.159 So if you make your life's work and your life's goal is to find out how you can kind of squeak by and live in your sin and push off God, you're a slave to sin. 00:02:14.740 --> 00:02:21.719 And Peter says in 2 Peter 2, 19, he says, whatever overcomes a person that he is enslaved to. 00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:35.340 So whatever has overcome you as a person, whatever controls your life, whether it be entertainment, sports, family, work, your job, that's what you're enslaved to. 00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:41.079 We are also told, though, not just about slavery, but what freedom looks like in Christ. 00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:42.719 Galatians 5, 1 says, 00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:50.139 For freedom Christ has set us free, to stand therefore firm and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. 00:02:50.139 --> 00:02:52.319 And Romans 6, 6 says this, 00:02:52.619 --> 00:03:00.579 We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, 00:03:01.219 --> 00:03:03.839 so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. 00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:06.839 So guys, as we dive into, and which button makes this thing go? 00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:08.459 I don't, I've never used this thing before. 00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:11.939 I don't know how to work this thing. 00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:13.699 Can you go to the next slide there? 00:03:13.959 --> 00:03:14.699 Thank you so much. 00:03:14.739 --> 00:03:15.279 Yeah, keep going. 00:03:15.339 --> 00:03:16.159 Go to the next slide again. 00:03:16.579 --> 00:03:17.979 I don't know how to work this thing here. 00:03:17.979 --> 00:03:19.199 I've never been good at this thing. 00:03:20.539 --> 00:03:21.059 Oh well. 00:03:21.619 --> 00:03:25.459 This morning, church, we're going to be in Colossians 3, 22 through chapter 4, 1. 00:03:25.539 --> 00:03:26.639 It seems like a lot of text. 00:03:26.859 --> 00:03:28.039 It's really not that much. 00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:32.199 So I'm not going to ask you to stand, but I'm going to ask you if you have a copy of God's word with you, 00:03:32.500 --> 00:03:35.519 or if you have it on your digital device, go ahead and look at it. 00:03:35.539 --> 00:03:39.759 We're going to read Colossians 3, 22 through 4, 1. 00:03:39.799 --> 00:03:40.479 It says this, 00:03:40.479 --> 00:04:10.479 00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:22.740 So as I was going through this text, guys, and trying to figure out how do I work this text, 00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:24.259 how we kind of present this to us, 00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:29.379 this morning we're talking about Christ over, not work, Christ over performance. 00:04:29.819 --> 00:04:31.000 Because Christ is over our work. 00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:31.680 We know that. 00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:33.259 But Christ over performance. 00:04:33.379 --> 00:04:35.100 And I'm hoping by the end of this message, 00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:39.939 you'll be encouraged to not live just for yourself and for your work, 00:04:40.740 --> 00:04:42.319 and not just to perform for Jesus, 00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:44.920 but to please God. 00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:48.040 My desire is that you would want to please God with your life. 00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:50.120 So we have to ask ourselves first, 00:04:50.980 --> 00:04:52.519 why do we work? 00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:53.659 Why do we work? 00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:54.360 Anybody got an answer? 00:04:54.420 --> 00:04:54.939 Why do we work? 00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:56.480 Yes. 00:04:58.860 --> 00:04:59.879 So we can get money. 00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:01.539 Number one reason, right? 00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:02.120 So we can get money. 00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:04.120 Yes, we do work because we need money. 00:05:04.819 --> 00:05:07.159 If our families didn't have us having money in the home, 00:05:07.699 --> 00:05:09.240 we'd have, well, nothing. 00:05:09.500 --> 00:05:11.319 We need money to make do. 00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:13.420 But why do we work in the spiritual sense? 00:05:14.019 --> 00:05:15.980 Why do we do anything? 00:05:16.060 --> 00:05:17.159 And what do you think I mean by work? 00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:20.620 Do you think I mean by work just going to a job and collecting a paycheck 00:05:20.620 --> 00:05:23.040 and then, you know, paying your bills and all that? 00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:25.439 That's a sense of it. 00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:26.920 That's one sense. 00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:33.959 But also, work is the life we live for the Lord, 00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:36.399 is the work we do, that the way we live, 00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:38.420 why do we do that? 00:05:38.539 --> 00:05:39.759 Why do we live like that? 00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:42.019 Well, first off, I will say this. 00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:45.360 Why we work in general is we were made in God's image, 00:05:45.420 --> 00:05:46.639 and our God is a working God. 00:05:47.719 --> 00:05:50.959 We see in the book of Genesis, we see God created everything. 00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:54.120 It says that God saw all that he made in Genesis 131. 00:05:54.379 --> 00:05:56.819 God saw all that he made, and he said that it was good. 00:05:57.379 --> 00:05:58.759 So God is a working God. 00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:00.699 He moved in creation to create things. 00:06:00.699 --> 00:06:06.800 We also see that our God, in Romans 8, 28, 00:06:07.159 --> 00:06:10.240 he works all things for his glory and our good. 00:06:10.939 --> 00:06:12.399 So our God is not just a working God. 00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:15.279 Our God is a good and gracious God. 00:06:15.699 --> 00:06:17.939 Because if he wants to work things for our good, 00:06:18.819 --> 00:06:19.839 it must mean he's a good God. 00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:26.139 So we also see that he has works prepared for us in eternity. 00:06:26.259 --> 00:06:30.599 Ephesians 2, 10 tells us that God prepared beforehand works for us. 00:06:30.739 --> 00:06:32.159 And it says that we are his workmanship. 00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:37.020 So one of the reasons why we work is because our God is a working God. 00:06:37.100 --> 00:06:40.320 We also work because our Savior Jesus worked. 00:06:41.080 --> 00:06:43.120 Our Savior Jesus worked. 00:06:43.200 --> 00:06:44.020 He worked many miracles, 00:06:44.140 --> 00:06:45.960 and there's a lot of miracles that aren't even in the Bible 00:06:45.960 --> 00:06:48.040 because there's so much that he did, so many things he did. 00:06:50.400 --> 00:06:52.260 John says that this couldn't hold it. 00:06:52.460 --> 00:06:53.500 There's so much that he did. 00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:55.660 Our Savior is a working Savior. 00:06:56.580 --> 00:06:57.960 Our Savior also led people. 00:06:58.320 --> 00:07:01.560 John 10, 11 says that the good shepherd leads his sheep. 00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:03.939 The good shepherd leads his sheep. 00:07:03.980 --> 00:07:06.600 And we also see that Jesus finished the work. 00:07:06.860 --> 00:07:09.500 Anybody ever heard the phrase, the word, to tell us die? 00:07:10.540 --> 00:07:11.720 You ever heard the word to tell us die? 00:07:12.400 --> 00:07:13.660 If you know it, say it out loud for me. 00:07:13.700 --> 00:07:16.880 To tell us die means it is finished. 00:07:17.580 --> 00:07:19.760 And the picture of that, just to give you a little picture of this, 00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:21.140 this is how awesome Jesus is. 00:07:21.900 --> 00:07:26.620 The Roman conquering officer of whatever town or place they were at, 00:07:26.620 --> 00:07:28.000 the Roman officer would go over, 00:07:28.320 --> 00:07:31.960 and they would take all of the victims of war from the enemy camp, 00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:33.980 or the enemy town, and they'd put them all together. 00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:35.840 He would climb on top, and he would say, 00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:37.140 to tell us die to the soldiers. 00:07:38.460 --> 00:07:40.140 This battle is finished. 00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:44.740 So our Savior is a working Savior because he accomplished what we could not. 00:07:44.880 --> 00:07:46.940 He died for our sins. 00:07:47.140 --> 00:07:48.160 He defeated death. 00:07:48.220 --> 00:07:49.260 He rose from the grave. 00:07:49.259 --> 00:07:51.620 And we have life in him. 00:07:51.719 --> 00:07:53.839 So our Savior is a working Savior. 00:07:54.899 --> 00:07:58.000 And also, one of the reasons why we work is just this simple. 00:07:58.180 --> 00:08:02.719 I mean, it's hard to kind of sometimes make this any kind of, like, fanciness here. 00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:05.659 God instituted work in Genesis 2. 00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:09.220 And who here thinks work is just, 00:08:09.520 --> 00:08:11.600 eh, I don't want to go to work today? 00:08:13.580 --> 00:08:15.560 Nobody, everybody loves work so much here. 00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:16.540 Yeah, okay, okay. 00:08:16.640 --> 00:08:17.540 Let's be real. 00:08:17.780 --> 00:08:19.400 Like, we don't always want to go to work. 00:08:19.540 --> 00:08:21.200 We don't always want to do the work for school. 00:08:21.600 --> 00:08:22.060 We don't always want to do it. 00:08:22.260 --> 00:08:24.060 Work is not always the most enjoyable thing. 00:08:24.060 --> 00:08:29.280 But the Bible tells us that God instituted work as a good thing. 00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:35.620 He told Adam to work the garden in Eden because it's a good thing that he would work it. 00:08:35.940 --> 00:08:38.000 And so, and this is crazy. 00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:40.399 This is going to be a hard one for us to swallow and be okay with. 00:08:42.139 --> 00:08:46.100 But work is a privilege given to us from God. 00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:49.519 It is a wonderful privilege given to us from God. 00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:55.100 to express the goodness of our good and great working Savior and God. 00:08:55.919 --> 00:08:57.860 So those are some of the reasons why we work. 00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:00.159 Just some of the reasons why we work. 00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:07.220 And I thought that was important because, well, we got to talk about now how we work and how we don't work. 00:09:07.419 --> 00:09:08.379 So we know why we work. 00:09:08.460 --> 00:09:10.079 We have a reason, we have a purpose for working. 00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:12.939 How do we work and how do we not work? 00:09:13.460 --> 00:09:14.679 So let's go to the next slide here. 00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:17.980 That's really important to talk about how we do not work. 00:09:17.980 --> 00:09:20.379 Because it's what Paul does. 00:09:20.899 --> 00:09:22.340 Paul starts off in the negative here. 00:09:22.860 --> 00:09:24.560 He says here in verse 22, he says, 00:09:24.940 --> 00:09:27.879 Bond servants, obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, 00:09:28.460 --> 00:09:32.300 not by way of eye service as people pleasers. 00:09:33.139 --> 00:09:38.220 He says, don't do it as in an eye servicing, like I said, eye servicers way. 00:09:38.820 --> 00:09:40.379 Don't do it as a people pleasing way. 00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:44.320 So let's talk about those words there for a second. 00:09:44.460 --> 00:09:45.000 People pleasing. 00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:52.279 I have always in my life as a kid wanted to be a people pleaser. 00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:53.360 I've always been one. 00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:55.379 And I'm a recovering people pleaser these days. 00:09:56.500 --> 00:09:58.460 I'm a redeemed, recovering people pleaser. 00:09:59.580 --> 00:10:10.500 And in Proverbs 29, 25, one thing it tells us is that people pleasing, the fear of man, it lays a snare. 00:10:10.919 --> 00:10:11.440 It's a trap. 00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:18.940 I think that sometimes we don't see it that way, that people pleasing is actually what the scripture calls a fear of man. 00:10:18.940 --> 00:10:25.220 And what I mean by fear of man is that you are so worried about what everybody else thinks about you, 00:10:25.880 --> 00:10:30.660 that you will say yes to whatever they say or go along with the crowd and say no to whatever the crowd is saying, 00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:33.000 because you want to make sure that everybody likes you. 00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:39.899 So let's say this in those who own businesses or who are managers or supervisors, 00:10:40.460 --> 00:10:43.039 maybe you're a team leader at the school in some way, 00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:47.139 and you don't like people not liking you because you make decisions. 00:10:47.539 --> 00:10:48.580 You want everybody to like you. 00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:53.440 So you kind of like you do whatever the people below you say because you want to make sure they like you. 00:10:54.580 --> 00:10:55.559 Anybody ever dealt with that? 00:10:56.019 --> 00:10:58.500 Or maybe I can say one thing for sure. 00:10:58.579 --> 00:11:01.019 You know, I've been in ministry, in full-time ministry for a year now, 00:11:01.059 --> 00:11:03.919 and I can say one thing that I've dealt with myself is people pleasing 00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:06.079 because I don't want people angry at me. 00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:07.859 I don't want everybody not liking me. 00:11:07.939 --> 00:11:10.899 So sometimes I'll just say, you know what, I'll just, sure, whatever. 00:11:10.959 --> 00:11:11.679 We'll just go with that. 00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:12.779 Whatever you say. 00:11:13.619 --> 00:11:14.539 Anybody ever been like that? 00:11:15.819 --> 00:11:17.359 People pleasing is a snare. 00:11:17.479 --> 00:11:18.059 It's a trap. 00:11:19.579 --> 00:11:21.859 Galatians 1.10, Paul says this about ministry. 00:11:21.860 --> 00:11:28.840 Paul says, am I now seeking the approval of man or the approval of God? 00:11:29.180 --> 00:11:35.120 He says, for if I were seeking the approval of man, I would not be a servant of Christ Jesus. 00:11:36.419 --> 00:11:44.100 It's good to be agreeable, but we should not placate our lives and our faith towards man, to please man. 00:11:44.539 --> 00:11:46.580 We should seek to please God. 00:11:47.820 --> 00:11:49.139 And the next one I think is really interesting. 00:11:49.139 --> 00:11:50.539 I had to think about this a bit. 00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:51.480 Eye service. 00:11:52.539 --> 00:11:54.039 And eye service goes two ways. 00:11:54.740 --> 00:11:57.940 And I like to think of it in the context of my last job I worked. 00:11:57.960 --> 00:11:58.680 I worked on base. 00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:00.200 And I worked at the fitness centers. 00:12:00.340 --> 00:12:05.060 And one of the things I loved about it was, now I got to fix machines and be out and talk to people. 00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:05.940 I love talking to people. 00:12:05.980 --> 00:12:06.480 It's great. 00:12:07.139 --> 00:12:12.700 But a lot of people did not like the tedious job of cleaning the machines. 00:12:13.259 --> 00:12:17.560 Up and down at the Smith machines and the squat racks and everything. 00:12:18.500 --> 00:12:19.820 It's not fun cleaning machines. 00:12:19.899 --> 00:12:20.379 I'm not going to lie. 00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:21.500 I don't enjoy it. 00:12:21.500 --> 00:12:23.899 It's not like my life's dream to clean machines, which is why I left. 00:12:24.620 --> 00:12:31.799 But I will say there's a joy in doing it for the Lord. 00:12:31.899 --> 00:12:32.840 There's a joy in doing it for the Lord. 00:12:33.019 --> 00:12:41.039 But the problem was that a lot of people I worked with, what they would do is they would just kind of sit back there in the back at the front desk. 00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:43.459 And so guess who came in? 00:12:43.460 --> 00:12:45.460 The boss lady. 00:12:45.460 --> 00:12:45.460 00:12:46.180 --> 00:12:47.480 The boss lady comes walking in. 00:12:47.720 --> 00:12:49.040 And everybody's like, oh, go grab the rags. 00:12:49.100 --> 00:12:49.460 Let's go. 00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:49.879 Let's go. 00:12:49.920 --> 00:12:50.440 They're freaking out. 00:12:52.019 --> 00:12:53.000 That's eye service. 00:12:53.000 --> 00:13:00.299 You're only working the minimum amount of work while the boss is around or the cameras are watching. 00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:02.720 So when the cameras are off, you ain't got to worry about it. 00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:03.980 Okay, now I can do whatever I want to. 00:13:03.980 --> 00:13:05.100 I can sit back, read a book. 00:13:05.100 --> 00:13:10.759 Or that's one way of looking at it. 00:13:11.560 --> 00:13:19.220 There's the other way of I'm going to work really hard in front of the boss. 00:13:19.500 --> 00:13:20.860 I'm going to go find him. 00:13:21.480 --> 00:13:27.840 I'm going to make sure I do the best work I can, better than everybody else, so I can make sure that my boss knows I'm a good worker. 00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:29.700 That way he'll promote me. 00:13:29.800 --> 00:13:31.420 That way he'll like me more. 00:13:33.460 --> 00:13:37.700 But all this, guys, all that, it's a snare. 00:13:37.820 --> 00:13:38.200 It's a trap. 00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:40.040 Because guess what? 00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:45.160 You will never forever please somebody. 00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:47.480 You will never forever please somebody. 00:13:47.960 --> 00:13:50.220 I think of it in a home situation. 00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:56.259 Husbands, if you are seeking to be a good husband, which you ought to, you ought to. 00:13:56.259 --> 00:14:10.399 Husbands, if you're seeking to be a good husband, but you always, always only ever say yes to the wife and you know something's better, you're a people pleaser. 00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:12.879 You're seeking to only please your wife. 00:14:14.419 --> 00:14:18.019 Let's say one day she says, honey, I'm just tired from last night. 00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:19.039 I don't want to go to church. 00:14:19.659 --> 00:14:20.620 Let's just stay home. 00:14:21.919 --> 00:14:22.879 And you say, you know what? 00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:23.500 You're right, honey. 00:14:23.580 --> 00:14:24.039 You're tired. 00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:24.620 Let's stay home. 00:14:26.259 --> 00:14:27.279 You're a people pleaser. 00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:41.439 Or wives, let's say, let's say wives in a situation, you know that your husband is a very particular person. 00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:42.860 Likes it in a very particular way. 00:14:43.059 --> 00:14:45.340 And you've got to make sure that everything's right for him always. 00:14:45.700 --> 00:14:51.419 And then you serve him in the biblical way, but you also want to make sure that nothing's ever wrong for him. 00:14:51.439 --> 00:14:52.279 He's always happy. 00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:55.819 That means that your emotions are attached to him. 00:14:56.199 --> 00:14:57.439 Everything's attached to him. 00:14:58.419 --> 00:14:59.679 So now guess who you serve? 00:15:00.299 --> 00:15:01.279 Not Christ Jesus. 00:15:02.519 --> 00:15:04.399 You end up serving your husband or your wife. 00:15:05.339 --> 00:15:08.439 In the sense that you are like almost enslaved to them. 00:15:09.579 --> 00:15:10.699 That's the danger of family. 00:15:10.779 --> 00:15:12.600 Or you may love your kids, and that's great. 00:15:12.939 --> 00:15:16.199 But if you say yes to everything your kids say because you want to be their best friend. 00:15:17.259 --> 00:15:18.899 Parents in here, you already know where I'm going with that. 00:15:18.899 --> 00:15:19.480 You don't say yes. 00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:21.639 You should never give your kid a yes day. 00:15:22.139 --> 00:15:23.500 Never do a yes day for your kids. 00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:25.759 Because that means they're going to be hyped up on sugar. 00:15:26.079 --> 00:15:27.379 You just spent all the money in your wallet. 00:15:27.819 --> 00:15:28.500 Terrible idea. 00:15:31.340 --> 00:15:33.100 You're not trying to be everybody's best friend here. 00:15:33.299 --> 00:15:35.419 And you're not trying to make everybody happy all the time. 00:15:35.980 --> 00:15:38.159 We are here to please the Lord. 00:15:38.819 --> 00:15:39.600 That's our goal. 00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:49.800 So even in church, when you know, I've heard of a church recently that they have had a lot of turmoil in the body that they're in. 00:15:50.980 --> 00:15:54.480 And some people have come in and said, you know, we're going to do this totally new thing. 00:15:54.560 --> 00:15:56.740 It's going to be kind of new age and this fancy stuff. 00:15:56.840 --> 00:16:01.680 We want to bring in, you know, more of a seeker-sensitive kind of move. 00:16:03.560 --> 00:16:06.800 We're just going to kind of toss off some of the theology and doctrine about the Bible. 00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:10.359 Well, now they're seeking to please who? 00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:12.620 Man. 00:16:13.139 --> 00:16:16.659 Because they are literally seeker-sensitive, not God-sensitive. 00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:17.939 They're not seeking after God. 00:16:17.979 --> 00:16:19.059 They're seeking after people. 00:16:20.459 --> 00:16:21.139 It's a snare. 00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:26.699 And then there's one more part I want to kind of touch on this with how we don't work, how we do not work. 00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:32.620 And there's a lot more parts to this, but I just don't have a whole lot of time to go through every quality and characteristic. 00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:34.339 But it's this. 00:16:35.320 --> 00:16:38.660 We do not work lazily or contemptuously. 00:16:39.379 --> 00:16:41.759 We do not work lazily or contemptuously. 00:16:42.220 --> 00:16:44.899 The Bible tells us the slugger does not display stewardship. 00:16:46.019 --> 00:16:48.040 Slugger, that's a really hard word, slugger. 00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:49.399 Did anybody call you that before? 00:16:49.899 --> 00:16:51.580 Someone come to you and say, you're sluggered. 00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:53.600 That's a heavy word. 00:16:53.680 --> 00:16:54.680 I wouldn't want to be called that. 00:16:55.300 --> 00:16:57.680 The Bible says the ant works harder than the sluggered. 00:16:57.679 --> 00:17:01.839 How would you feel if someone called you a sluggered and you know that an ant works harder than you? 00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:03.259 That's heavy. 00:17:04.099 --> 00:17:04.700 That's heavy. 00:17:04.700 --> 00:17:08.340 But the slugger does not display stewardship. 00:17:08.519 --> 00:17:16.160 The sluggered knows what needs to be done and then also lives with a heart of contempt. 00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:21.060 And I had to really look up what the word contempt means because I've heard it a lot like contempt of court and this and that. 00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:23.080 I'm like, what does contempt even actually mean? 00:17:23.420 --> 00:17:24.080 So I looked it up. 00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:32.359 And contempt is a willful, this is crazy, a willful and intentional failure to comply. 00:17:33.439 --> 00:17:36.059 Willful and intentional failure to comply. 00:17:36.519 --> 00:17:41.480 That means when you choose to work lazily, not as a good steward. 00:17:42.399 --> 00:17:45.399 You don't really, you seek to work as a people pleaser. 00:17:47.299 --> 00:17:49.359 You're actually living in contempt of God. 00:17:49.939 --> 00:17:52.199 You're willfully choosing to disobey God. 00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:54.900 And that's a dangerous thing to be in. 00:17:55.980 --> 00:17:59.140 I tell my students all the time, it's one of my favorite phrases to say to the students. 00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:01.779 A lot of the guys know this one for sure. 00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:05.700 It is better to be humble before God than to be humbled by God. 00:18:06.860 --> 00:18:09.480 It's better to be humble before God than to be humbled by God. 00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:12.720 And you don't want to live in contempt with God. 00:18:13.019 --> 00:18:15.759 To willfully and intentionally disobey God. 00:18:17.860 --> 00:18:19.900 So now we talked about why we should work. 00:18:20.460 --> 00:18:22.059 Talked about how we should not work. 00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:24.840 Let's see how the Bible tells us to work. 00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:26.740 Let's go to the next slide there. 00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:30.259 The way that we should be working is, well, here's four ways. 00:18:30.900 --> 00:18:33.900 Work heartily, contently, diligently, and intentionally. 00:18:35.160 --> 00:18:36.319 And Paul even says it here. 00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:38.019 He says, whatever you do, work heartily. 00:18:38.380 --> 00:18:39.819 As for the Lord and not for men. 00:18:39.819 --> 00:18:46.720 So when we think about working heartily, I think we have to get the right picture. 00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:54.720 Because I think sometimes we think that a hard worker is somebody who's out in the field and they're working hard and they're sweating like crazy. 00:18:54.720 --> 00:18:59.140 Or maybe they're the person that is, you know, got everything together in the office. 00:18:59.259 --> 00:19:01.220 They're the most, you know, organized person all the time. 00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:03.759 Those are hard workers. 00:19:03.860 --> 00:19:07.180 But the rest of them, they're just there. 00:19:07.299 --> 00:19:07.880 They work. 00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:09.759 They're just there. 00:19:09.759 --> 00:19:13.680 A hard worker is not somebody who gets it right every time. 00:19:14.019 --> 00:19:16.680 Or the most organized is the perfect employee. 00:19:17.619 --> 00:19:27.220 A hard worker is somebody, someone who works heartily is somebody who works diligently, intentionally, and contently. 00:19:27.900 --> 00:19:30.539 So heartily kind of has these categories underneath it. 00:19:30.600 --> 00:19:32.839 Heartily, diligently, intentionally, contently. 00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:35.339 So let's kind of talk about those three out there. 00:19:37.140 --> 00:19:44.059 When you work diligently, it means you are working in a non-hasty way. 00:19:44.339 --> 00:19:46.620 I had to look up this word diligent as well, just to make sure I was right. 00:19:47.640 --> 00:19:53.860 A good example of this is, well, kind of like I said earlier, my coworkers in my last job, they're all chilling. 00:19:53.980 --> 00:19:56.000 It's like, you know, maybe two hours to the end of the day. 00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:57.500 It takes about two hours to clean all the machines. 00:19:58.200 --> 00:20:03.519 And instead of kind of like pacing it out throughout the day, they're scrambling at the end of the day because the boss came in. 00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:04.519 Oh, we better start cleaning now. 00:20:06.259 --> 00:20:12.960 A person who's not diligent in their work is someone who's just scrambling at the very end, trying to get it done now, now, now. 00:20:13.019 --> 00:20:13.920 We've got to go, got to go. 00:20:20.259 --> 00:20:23.099 And then diligence kind of goes along with intentionality. 00:20:23.099 --> 00:20:23.099 00:20:24.740 --> 00:20:29.299 Because diligence is careful and persistent effort over time. 00:20:29.299 --> 00:20:40.099 You're not going to, well, unless you're one of those speed readers I've seen on the internet, you're not going to read this in one day. 00:20:41.399 --> 00:20:42.740 You might not even read it in one week. 00:20:43.319 --> 00:20:44.539 You might not even read it in one year. 00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:46.960 It might take you a long time to get through the scripture. 00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:49.380 And that's okay. 00:20:50.220 --> 00:20:59.779 But if you are diligent in your time with the Lord, you may spend, like my wife does sometimes, she spends two days on a sentence. 00:20:59.779 --> 00:21:05.500 She can spend two days on a sentence, and it's incredible because she can pull so much out of it. 00:21:06.740 --> 00:21:08.960 A diligent person is careful in their work. 00:21:10.019 --> 00:21:11.000 They're focused. 00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:15.379 Intentional person works with purpose. 00:21:15.380 --> 00:21:19.080 So diligence is careful and persistent. 00:21:20.340 --> 00:21:23.260 Intentionality is purposeful work. 00:21:24.380 --> 00:21:28.820 And so in our lives, and we're going to get to this part in a little bit, so I don't want to go too far ahead of myself. 00:21:28.980 --> 00:21:40.880 But in our lives, the way you're working, the way you're working right now, do you intentionally work so people can see you work? 00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:42.980 Or do you do it for God? 00:21:43.740 --> 00:21:46.600 Do you want the Lord to be pleased in all that you do? 00:21:47.040 --> 00:21:48.940 Because I don't want to get too far ahead of myself because we're going there. 00:21:49.760 --> 00:21:50.820 But then the last one is this. 00:21:50.860 --> 00:21:52.100 I think that's probably the biggest one for us. 00:21:52.120 --> 00:21:53.180 Because we talked about this earlier. 00:21:54.620 --> 00:21:58.080 Who likes to work all the time with no rest? 00:22:00.780 --> 00:22:09.140 The word contently, the word content, brings to mind a parable, if you will, from a guy I heard a long time ago. 00:22:09.140 --> 00:22:10.180 His name is Martin Luther. 00:22:10.180 --> 00:22:11.440 He was a reformer. 00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:15.940 And Martin Luther, he talks about the plow boy, the milkmaid, and the priest. 00:22:16.519 --> 00:22:21.580 Now, when we think about work, you probably think the plow boy probably works the hardest because he's sweating. 00:22:21.700 --> 00:22:22.860 He's got a lot going on there. 00:22:23.580 --> 00:22:24.960 He's doing all sorts of stuff outside. 00:22:25.340 --> 00:22:26.740 And then you've got the milkmaid. 00:22:27.320 --> 00:22:30.400 And she's got to milk the cows, but they're all stinky and they smell funny. 00:22:30.460 --> 00:22:33.360 And maybe she gets kicked once or twice in her career as a milkmaid. 00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:37.920 And then you've got the priest who gets to sit inside the AC and just sit down and read books, right? 00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:40.160 Like, no. 00:22:40.840 --> 00:22:50.380 No, the thing about all of them, all three of those people, is it wasn't their job that defined who they were. 00:22:50.720 --> 00:22:54.640 It's how they did their job and who they did their job for. 00:22:54.640 --> 00:23:01.200 Because if the plow boy was working for himself, he probably should get a different line of work if he wants it back in his later years. 00:23:02.640 --> 00:23:04.200 The milkmaid was trying to find a better job. 00:23:04.420 --> 00:23:07.520 Well, in that time, Martin Luther's time, she probably was the best job she could get. 00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:10.920 And the priest, he's probably got it the best. 00:23:18.599 --> 00:23:28.299 When we find our contentment not in our jobs, but in the Lord, any job that he brings us to is workable. 00:23:29.720 --> 00:23:31.460 Any job he brings us to is workable. 00:23:31.460 --> 00:23:37.220 I want to kind of move on to this next part here. 00:23:37.860 --> 00:23:39.960 This is kind of where we're going to land the plane in a little bit this morning. 00:23:39.980 --> 00:23:41.920 I'm getting you guys out of here really early this morning. 00:23:42.680 --> 00:23:43.400 Really early. 00:23:47.059 --> 00:23:49.100 Who do we work for? 00:23:50.539 --> 00:23:51.519 Who do we work for? 00:23:52.940 --> 00:23:54.279 Not for man, but with man. 00:23:54.279 --> 00:23:59.799 When you work for people, so who here is a business owner? 00:23:59.920 --> 00:24:02.299 Who here owns a business or runs a business or is a manager? 00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:05.279 You know, start screaming at me. 00:24:06.059 --> 00:24:07.539 Who here works for somebody? 00:24:09.740 --> 00:24:10.099 Okay. 00:24:11.220 --> 00:24:18.039 When you work for somebody, sometimes issues arise with other employees. 00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:23.960 And sometimes there's some employees that are really, they like to bring drama. 00:24:24.659 --> 00:24:26.980 Anybody ever seen a drama person in their workplace? 00:24:28.079 --> 00:24:28.379 Yeah? 00:24:29.039 --> 00:24:30.019 I had one lady. 00:24:30.579 --> 00:24:30.799 Oof. 00:24:31.839 --> 00:24:32.519 Lord of mercy. 00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:36.839 There's people who like to breed drama and bring it in and start the drama. 00:24:38.500 --> 00:24:40.779 But that's not what the scripture calls us to. 00:24:41.019 --> 00:24:45.599 The Bible calls us to work peacefully with other people. 00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:53.419 The Bible says that if there's somebody who is just a, ah, man, under your skin. 00:24:53.559 --> 00:24:56.199 Just kind of the worst. 00:24:57.219 --> 00:24:59.359 They don't say to go and be angry at that person. 00:24:59.959 --> 00:25:02.000 The Bible calls us to pray for that person. 00:25:03.399 --> 00:25:05.919 And then, I really like this phrase. 00:25:07.179 --> 00:25:10.139 We work for men, but not for man. 00:25:11.459 --> 00:25:14.319 You will always work for somebody, even if it's for yourself. 00:25:14.319 --> 00:25:17.119 You will always work for somebody, even if it's for yourself. 00:25:19.059 --> 00:25:20.960 But the purpose is not for you. 00:25:21.559 --> 00:25:23.139 It is for God. 00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:25.720 God gets the glory in your work. 00:25:27.679 --> 00:25:32.460 And this is kind of, this one's about, this next points to more of you business owners. 00:25:32.579 --> 00:25:35.579 You people who have, have some, all your own kind of thing you're doing. 00:25:35.579 --> 00:25:38.679 We don't work for ourselves. 00:25:39.319 --> 00:25:43.759 Now, yes, we do need to make money for our families. 00:25:43.919 --> 00:25:45.579 We need that kind of support. 00:25:48.220 --> 00:25:55.240 But there's a lot of people that I've seen who start things and do things because they really want to get a leg up in the world. 00:25:55.240 --> 00:25:59.799 They want the notoriety that comes with being a business owner. 00:26:00.339 --> 00:26:02.779 They want fame in a small town. 00:26:05.980 --> 00:26:10.559 We don't work to get a leg up in a competition in life. 00:26:11.660 --> 00:26:13.720 We don't work from selfish ambition. 00:26:13.839 --> 00:26:14.720 Scripture tells us that. 00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:20.319 And we don't work for any kind of notoriety. 00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:23.440 Don't let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. 00:26:24.740 --> 00:26:27.779 We work for God's kingdom. 00:26:30.059 --> 00:26:38.200 Because here's the reality, church, is that our reward is not here. 00:26:38.200 --> 00:26:48.880 I remember one thing that Jesus says, you know, do not store up for yourself treasures here on earth where moth and rust and thieves come to steal and take and destroy. 00:26:49.799 --> 00:26:53.180 But store up for yourself treasures in heaven. 00:26:53.779 --> 00:26:57.340 And Paul says this in the scripture that we're reading this morning. 00:26:57.740 --> 00:26:59.140 In verse 24, he says, 00:26:59.140 --> 00:27:02.080 Knowing that from your boss? 00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:04.240 No. 00:27:05.060 --> 00:27:11.080 Knowing that from the Lord, you will receive the inheritance as your reward. 00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:15.180 That inheritance, scripture says, is an imperishable inheritance. 00:27:16.620 --> 00:27:18.960 It's invaluable, is the better word you could say. 00:27:19.040 --> 00:27:19.900 It's invaluable. 00:27:21.020 --> 00:27:23.820 Stored up for you in heaven that cannot be stolen or taken away. 00:27:23.819 --> 00:27:31.419 When we work as a body of believers, building up his kingdom. 00:27:31.859 --> 00:27:32.759 This is not a plug. 00:27:32.839 --> 00:27:34.599 This is just being real. 00:27:36.659 --> 00:27:40.839 When you work and you gain, the Lord has given you gain. 00:27:41.919 --> 00:27:45.079 He desires that you give back to him. 00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:46.779 Just a little bit. 00:27:47.500 --> 00:27:48.740 A good picture of that one time. 00:27:48.819 --> 00:27:50.779 I remember when I was in another church. 00:27:51.200 --> 00:27:53.119 Our pastor, he had a big bowl. 00:27:53.819 --> 00:27:54.859 And he had ten apples. 00:27:56.019 --> 00:27:59.480 And he said, look, God's giving you this bowl of ten apples. 00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:02.559 And all he's asking for right now from you? 00:28:03.419 --> 00:28:04.059 One apple. 00:28:04.359 --> 00:28:08.259 You still got nine apples left to steward and eat well and ration out well. 00:28:08.839 --> 00:28:11.419 All he wants is one of those ten apples. 00:28:12.639 --> 00:28:15.759 And so when you gain in your life, 00:28:16.299 --> 00:28:19.519 we shouldn't seek to hoard and keep only for ourselves 00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:22.899 and use only in a way that satisfies us. 00:28:22.900 --> 00:28:24.640 How can you be a blessing? 00:28:25.600 --> 00:28:26.720 Like Jacob said in his prayer, 00:28:26.820 --> 00:28:29.140 how can we be a blessing and a joy to others 00:28:29.140 --> 00:28:31.320 with that which God gives us in our work? 00:28:32.259 --> 00:28:33.540 How can you be a blessing in that way? 00:28:33.680 --> 00:28:34.580 Can you bless the church? 00:28:34.660 --> 00:28:35.820 Can you bless your neighbor? 00:28:35.940 --> 00:28:37.360 Can you bless that person you know that's hurting? 00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:41.179 Because your treasure is not here on earth. 00:28:41.339 --> 00:28:43.559 Your treasure is in heaven. 00:28:43.559 --> 00:28:49.039 And that leads me to kind of land this here. 00:28:49.399 --> 00:28:51.700 Let's go to that next slide here. 00:28:52.779 --> 00:28:56.299 This is the last thing I want to talk to us about this morning. 00:28:57.519 --> 00:29:01.440 Are you living to perform for God or please God? 00:29:02.079 --> 00:29:05.299 Are you living to perform for him or please him? 00:29:05.339 --> 00:29:07.559 And those are two different words, perform and please. 00:29:07.559 --> 00:29:10.059 Because all the things we just talked about, 00:29:10.319 --> 00:29:11.519 it's good stuff. 00:29:12.079 --> 00:29:12.819 It's true. 00:29:12.940 --> 00:29:13.559 It's from the Bible. 00:29:14.519 --> 00:29:15.399 It's good stuff. 00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:16.179 All this work stuff. 00:29:16.960 --> 00:29:22.440 But is all of that done in your life 00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:26.019 to gain some favor with God? 00:29:26.019 --> 00:29:29.660 I use the term with the students oftentimes. 00:29:29.960 --> 00:29:32.339 Are you trying to earn Jesus points? 00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:36.480 Are you trying to earn Jesus points with God? 00:29:37.019 --> 00:29:38.639 You know, I work hard. 00:29:39.420 --> 00:29:40.259 I'm diligent. 00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:43.119 I'm actually intentional with what I do in my job too. 00:29:43.460 --> 00:29:44.299 And I'm happy. 00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:45.420 I don't get angry. 00:29:45.579 --> 00:29:46.900 Sometimes there's some scuffles. 00:29:47.319 --> 00:29:50.160 And then I don't try to please people. 00:29:50.799 --> 00:29:51.920 I'm doing all these things, God. 00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:53.700 So, you know, just kind of bless me. 00:29:53.700 --> 00:29:56.480 I'm hoping that you'll see that God, 00:29:56.539 --> 00:29:58.360 recognize it, and you'll bless me for it. 00:30:00.580 --> 00:30:05.360 Well, I akin that to an actor on the stage. 00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:11.059 Do you come to church to be seen by everybody else in the pews? 00:30:12.819 --> 00:30:16.360 Do you come to church to sing 00:30:16.360 --> 00:30:17.700 so everybody can hear their beautiful voice? 00:30:20.460 --> 00:30:21.620 Do you come to church 00:30:21.619 --> 00:30:24.119 so that you feel better about yourself with God 00:30:24.119 --> 00:30:25.559 because you've been straying away too far 00:30:25.559 --> 00:30:26.000 so you thought, 00:30:26.339 --> 00:30:27.439 oh, coming to church fixes it? 00:30:30.119 --> 00:30:31.719 Do you do all the work that you do, 00:30:31.779 --> 00:30:32.779 the businesses you've built 00:30:32.779 --> 00:30:36.539 over the past 35, 40, 5, 10 years, 00:30:36.619 --> 00:30:37.359 whatever it is, 00:30:38.359 --> 00:30:40.859 is all that to say, 00:30:41.059 --> 00:30:43.399 look at what I've done with my life for you, God. 00:30:44.079 --> 00:30:45.000 Isn't it great? 00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:46.219 Don't you love it? 00:30:46.219 --> 00:30:46.279 Yes. 00:30:46.279 --> 00:30:50.240 I'm reminded of this story 00:30:50.240 --> 00:30:52.720 that John Piper tells in his book, 00:30:53.259 --> 00:30:54.119 Don't Waste Your Life. 00:30:54.819 --> 00:30:56.119 And he talks at the very beginning, 00:30:56.180 --> 00:30:57.000 he talks about this, 00:30:57.059 --> 00:30:59.240 these two young couple, 00:30:59.399 --> 00:31:01.440 they were 35 years old and retired at 35. 00:31:02.619 --> 00:31:03.019 Incredible. 00:31:03.859 --> 00:31:04.960 And they go on, 00:31:05.119 --> 00:31:07.339 and they start living their life however they want to. 00:31:07.420 --> 00:31:09.480 They go on cruise ships, 00:31:09.480 --> 00:31:12.720 and they go live this tropical place, 00:31:13.160 --> 00:31:15.339 and they just are just living it up. 00:31:15.779 --> 00:31:18.220 And their big treasure that they love to find 00:31:18.220 --> 00:31:20.700 are seashells and sand dollars. 00:31:21.120 --> 00:31:22.180 You know what a sand dollar is? 00:31:22.299 --> 00:31:23.519 I grew up around that myself. 00:31:23.980 --> 00:31:24.940 But seashells and sand dollars, 00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:26.900 that's a big thing they live for. 00:31:28.779 --> 00:31:30.180 So contrast that 00:31:30.180 --> 00:31:32.440 with the two 90-year-old ladies 00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:34.839 who were single their whole life 00:31:34.839 --> 00:31:36.960 because they gave their life to the mission field, 00:31:37.559 --> 00:31:38.180 to the Lord. 00:31:39.839 --> 00:31:41.380 Now these guys still alive, 00:31:41.460 --> 00:31:42.599 and they probably died in comfort. 00:31:43.120 --> 00:31:44.400 But these two older ladies, 00:31:45.740 --> 00:31:47.400 the way they died was at a rock slide. 00:31:47.579 --> 00:31:49.059 They were driving their vehicle up a mountain 00:31:49.059 --> 00:31:51.740 in an underdeveloped country, 00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:53.360 and a rock slide took their vehicle, 00:31:53.480 --> 00:31:55.319 and they died in a perilous way. 00:31:58.339 --> 00:32:00.000 But they didn't boast about their work. 00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:02.360 I've never heard about these ladies until now. 00:32:02.799 --> 00:32:03.799 But you hear all the time, 00:32:03.860 --> 00:32:04.920 these guys who are super rich. 00:32:05.980 --> 00:32:07.240 They do all these awesome things, 00:32:07.240 --> 00:32:08.599 and they get to have this wonderful life 00:32:08.599 --> 00:32:09.360 we all want to live. 00:32:09.480 --> 00:32:12.620 What John Piper says, though, 00:32:12.620 --> 00:32:14.279 is when they go before the Lord, 00:32:14.960 --> 00:32:17.339 those who had seashells, 00:32:18.519 --> 00:32:19.339 when they stand before God, 00:32:19.380 --> 00:32:19.640 they say, 00:32:19.740 --> 00:32:20.140 well, God, 00:32:20.700 --> 00:32:22.319 look at all the hard work I did in my life. 00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:23.880 Don't you see my seashells? 00:32:25.460 --> 00:32:26.319 Don't you see my sand? 00:32:26.339 --> 00:32:28.980 Look, I got that one in Costa Rica, 00:32:29.099 --> 00:32:30.420 and that one in Panama, 00:32:30.700 --> 00:32:32.319 and don't you love my seashells? 00:32:32.319 --> 00:32:36.700 But the two ladies who died in the perilous way 00:32:36.700 --> 00:32:37.339 in the mission field, 00:32:37.579 --> 00:32:38.500 they stood before God, 00:32:39.339 --> 00:32:40.839 and they would say to Him, 00:32:41.639 --> 00:32:42.960 I have nothing. 00:32:43.919 --> 00:32:46.299 I have nothing but what you've given me to do, Lord. 00:32:47.139 --> 00:32:49.460 And I just want you to be glorified. 00:32:49.899 --> 00:32:50.919 I'm not here for me. 00:32:50.920 --> 00:32:53.279 So in your job, 00:32:53.320 --> 00:32:53.800 in your life, 00:32:54.100 --> 00:32:56.039 those who run businesses 00:32:56.039 --> 00:32:57.340 or own things, 00:32:58.259 --> 00:33:00.160 do you do so for your notoriety 00:33:00.160 --> 00:33:02.080 to make God like you more 00:33:02.080 --> 00:33:03.320 because you're doing well for the community? 00:33:04.120 --> 00:33:05.519 And those who work for people, 00:33:06.220 --> 00:33:07.740 are you living so that God sees 00:33:07.740 --> 00:33:08.660 how hard you work? 00:33:08.660 --> 00:33:12.160 Because I know, guys, 00:33:12.259 --> 00:33:13.200 if you're anything like me, 00:33:13.779 --> 00:33:14.800 there are down times 00:33:14.800 --> 00:33:16.860 when you don't work as well, 00:33:17.019 --> 00:33:17.900 going through something. 00:33:18.620 --> 00:33:19.920 Does that mean God loves you any less? 00:33:21.200 --> 00:33:21.640 No. 00:33:22.360 --> 00:33:24.380 God loves you the same 00:33:24.380 --> 00:33:26.060 on your best day 00:33:26.060 --> 00:33:27.140 as He does on your worst day. 00:33:27.779 --> 00:33:29.540 So for the one who's a believer this morning, 00:33:29.800 --> 00:33:31.000 my challenge to you is this. 00:33:32.080 --> 00:33:33.320 Don't perform for God. 00:33:34.360 --> 00:33:36.080 Almost basically take what you're doing 00:33:36.080 --> 00:33:37.019 and just say, 00:33:37.019 --> 00:33:38.799 that's just a part of my life. 00:33:39.220 --> 00:33:40.000 That's just something I have to do. 00:33:40.039 --> 00:33:42.720 I get to glorify God in my work. 00:33:43.139 --> 00:33:45.039 I'm not focused on gaining anything from this. 00:33:45.119 --> 00:33:46.799 I just want God to be glorified in all I do. 00:33:47.779 --> 00:33:48.740 In your workplace, 00:33:49.160 --> 00:33:50.099 are you doing things 00:33:50.099 --> 00:33:53.480 so that others see how you live for God? 00:33:54.180 --> 00:33:55.500 Not so that you can gain, 00:33:56.460 --> 00:33:57.980 but so they can love the Lord Jesus more 00:33:57.980 --> 00:33:59.440 and be interested in Him. 00:33:59.940 --> 00:34:03.460 For those who are not believers this morning, 00:34:04.220 --> 00:34:05.799 who have not trusted in Christ as their Savior, 00:34:07.019 --> 00:34:08.300 my question is this. 00:34:09.300 --> 00:34:10.960 Do you think you can work hard enough 00:34:10.960 --> 00:34:13.400 to gain God's love? 00:34:14.559 --> 00:34:16.179 Do you think you can work hard enough 00:34:16.179 --> 00:34:17.659 to gain God's love? 00:34:18.860 --> 00:34:20.840 There is no amount of work that you can do. 00:34:22.179 --> 00:34:23.719 Ephesians 2, 8, and 9 tells us 00:34:23.719 --> 00:34:25.019 that it is by grace through faith 00:34:25.019 --> 00:34:26.039 we've been saved. 00:34:26.800 --> 00:34:27.639 And it literally says, 00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:29.619 not of your works, 00:34:30.360 --> 00:34:31.679 not of your performance. 00:34:31.679 --> 00:34:34.859 A bit of my testimony, 00:34:34.960 --> 00:34:36.179 I think this is important for this. 00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:38.239 I was, 00:34:38.799 --> 00:34:42.259 I grew up in a kind of Christian home, 00:34:42.799 --> 00:34:44.139 kind of sort of military family. 00:34:44.239 --> 00:34:45.000 So we didn't have a church. 00:34:45.079 --> 00:34:45.940 We stayed in long. 00:34:47.419 --> 00:34:49.099 But I grew up around the Bible. 00:34:49.359 --> 00:34:51.039 I could tell you that a guy 00:34:51.039 --> 00:34:53.460 was put in a giant fish, I think. 00:34:53.859 --> 00:34:55.599 And I can tell you basically that. 00:34:55.639 --> 00:34:56.639 And there's a guy named David. 00:34:56.759 --> 00:34:57.919 I didn't know really what happened, 00:34:57.920 --> 00:34:59.680 but he threw a rock out of God's eye 00:34:59.680 --> 00:35:00.840 and knocked him out, I think. 00:35:01.180 --> 00:35:02.320 That's about all I had. 00:35:02.680 --> 00:35:03.720 That's about all I really remember. 00:35:04.420 --> 00:35:06.280 And I can tell you 00:35:06.280 --> 00:35:10.300 that the Lord saved me at 21 years old. 00:35:10.340 --> 00:35:11.260 I'm 29 now. 00:35:12.720 --> 00:35:14.099 But before that, guys, 00:35:14.300 --> 00:35:16.800 I was not living a very good life. 00:35:17.280 --> 00:35:19.180 I lived in ways I should not have. 00:35:19.220 --> 00:35:20.420 I did things I should not have. 00:35:21.059 --> 00:35:23.159 And I was a huge hypocrite. 00:35:23.639 --> 00:35:24.460 Huge hypocrite. 00:35:25.059 --> 00:35:26.840 But the biggest part about my life 00:35:26.840 --> 00:35:28.480 at that time when I got saved was this. 00:35:30.140 --> 00:35:31.700 I was performing for God. 00:35:32.420 --> 00:35:33.460 100% performing. 00:35:34.400 --> 00:35:35.720 I was reading the Bible 00:35:35.720 --> 00:35:37.220 so I could know when I was right, 00:35:37.240 --> 00:35:38.000 when I was wrong. 00:35:38.700 --> 00:35:40.260 So I could tell people of other religions, 00:35:40.420 --> 00:35:41.039 hey, you're wrong. 00:35:41.160 --> 00:35:41.860 This is the truth. 00:35:42.620 --> 00:35:43.280 You're wrong. 00:35:43.460 --> 00:35:43.940 You're wrong. 00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:44.400 Get it right. 00:35:44.480 --> 00:35:45.000 Get with this. 00:35:46.440 --> 00:35:47.059 And I was like, 00:35:47.200 --> 00:35:48.500 God, I just thank you so much 00:35:48.500 --> 00:35:49.700 that I'm not like the other guy over there. 00:35:49.840 --> 00:35:52.340 And I was like performing for God. 00:35:53.660 --> 00:35:55.079 I didn't seek to please him. 00:35:55.079 --> 00:35:57.719 I was being pleased by being right. 00:36:02.119 --> 00:36:03.880 Then I came to a point when I realized 00:36:03.880 --> 00:36:06.639 I got it all wrong. 00:36:06.880 --> 00:36:07.819 And it was that morning. 00:36:07.900 --> 00:36:08.559 It was very interesting. 00:36:08.719 --> 00:36:09.139 That morning, 00:36:09.239 --> 00:36:10.559 that Sunday morning when I got saved, 00:36:11.059 --> 00:36:16.380 I was in my Sunday school class at the time. 00:36:17.480 --> 00:36:19.420 And the Sunday school teacher's son 00:36:19.420 --> 00:36:21.380 was singing with my worship pastor that morning. 00:36:21.380 --> 00:36:22.900 And he was singing beautifully. 00:36:23.240 --> 00:36:25.019 And I was just full of pride. 00:36:25.500 --> 00:36:25.760 I was like, 00:36:25.840 --> 00:36:27.940 I worked way harder than that guy to sing like that. 00:36:28.140 --> 00:36:29.340 I should be singing with him. 00:36:30.680 --> 00:36:31.740 And I get out there 00:36:31.740 --> 00:36:34.360 and he sings a song. 00:36:35.400 --> 00:36:36.940 And I realized in that moment 00:36:36.940 --> 00:36:39.640 that everything that I had been doing, 00:36:40.340 --> 00:36:43.140 I was trying to convert my girlfriend at the time 00:36:43.140 --> 00:36:44.099 to Christ. 00:36:44.099 --> 00:36:46.460 Even though I was not a Christian, 00:36:46.799 --> 00:36:48.239 I was preaching to students. 00:36:48.659 --> 00:36:49.559 Though I was not a Christian, 00:36:49.819 --> 00:36:51.119 I was helping to lead worship. 00:36:51.400 --> 00:36:52.239 Though I was not a believer, 00:36:52.739 --> 00:36:55.179 I was going with my band to things 00:36:55.179 --> 00:36:56.299 and not as a believer, 00:36:56.900 --> 00:36:59.339 I was performing for Christ. 00:37:00.940 --> 00:37:04.420 I was not seeking to please the Lord Jesus. 00:37:04.420 --> 00:37:08.720 And as I was saved at 21 years old 00:37:08.720 --> 00:37:09.740 that Sunday morning, 00:37:09.960 --> 00:37:11.579 I realized my sin was great 00:37:11.579 --> 00:37:12.380 and I needed Christ. 00:37:13.039 --> 00:37:15.139 And I believed in the Lord Jesus that morning. 00:37:16.579 --> 00:37:17.280 And yes, 00:37:17.360 --> 00:37:18.820 I am still a recovering people pleaser. 00:37:19.720 --> 00:37:20.059 Yes, 00:37:20.139 --> 00:37:21.860 I am still a recovering performing Christian. 00:37:23.099 --> 00:37:23.940 But I can tell you 00:37:23.940 --> 00:37:25.220 that the Lord has worked my heart 00:37:25.220 --> 00:37:26.260 and moved me so 00:37:26.260 --> 00:37:28.380 to see that God's glory 00:37:28.380 --> 00:37:30.500 is wonderful. 00:37:31.180 --> 00:37:32.680 It's greater than my desire 00:37:32.680 --> 00:37:33.840 to be known and seen. 00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:35.599 And it's funny, 00:37:35.700 --> 00:37:35.820 you know, 00:37:35.860 --> 00:37:37.780 that the more I've grown in Christ, 00:37:37.860 --> 00:37:38.940 the more I've loved Jesus, 00:37:39.159 --> 00:37:40.940 the more I want to be in the background. 00:37:42.340 --> 00:37:44.059 When you realize that your Savior 00:37:44.059 --> 00:37:45.539 is greater than you 00:37:45.539 --> 00:37:46.900 and He's wonderful, 00:37:47.420 --> 00:37:48.579 deserving of your praise, 00:37:49.300 --> 00:37:50.440 not your performance, 00:37:53.720 --> 00:37:56.059 then you oftentimes say, 00:37:56.300 --> 00:37:57.639 the Lord brings you and says, 00:37:58.079 --> 00:37:58.840 just sit in the background, 00:37:59.139 --> 00:37:59.700 let me work. 00:38:00.280 --> 00:38:01.320 So this morning, church, 00:38:02.079 --> 00:38:03.639 as I close here, 00:38:03.639 --> 00:38:03.879 Linda, 00:38:03.920 --> 00:38:04.440 I'm going to ask you 00:38:04.440 --> 00:38:05.000 to come and play 00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:06.799 some music for us here. 00:38:07.119 --> 00:38:07.599 We're going to have 00:38:07.599 --> 00:38:09.339 just a quick little time of invitation. 00:38:10.019 --> 00:38:11.279 I want to pray over you, church. 00:38:11.400 --> 00:38:12.119 And this morning, 00:38:12.159 --> 00:38:14.500 if you are a people pleaser, 00:38:15.319 --> 00:38:16.579 if you are working 00:38:16.579 --> 00:38:18.900 as an eye servicer, 00:38:20.339 --> 00:38:22.059 only seeking to be a worker 00:38:22.059 --> 00:38:22.879 when you're seen, 00:38:23.679 --> 00:38:24.699 this morning, 00:38:24.739 --> 00:38:25.460 if you came to church 00:38:25.460 --> 00:38:26.000 because you knew 00:38:26.000 --> 00:38:26.940 it was the right thing to do 00:38:26.940 --> 00:38:28.039 and you make sure 00:38:28.039 --> 00:38:28.799 your kids are here 00:38:28.800 --> 00:38:29.480 because it's a good thing 00:38:29.480 --> 00:38:29.940 for them, 00:38:30.260 --> 00:38:32.160 wonderful, 00:38:32.320 --> 00:38:32.840 glad you're here. 00:38:35.160 --> 00:38:35.980 Because here's the thing, 00:38:36.060 --> 00:38:37.000 this place is not 00:38:37.000 --> 00:38:39.600 a museum for the saints. 00:38:40.440 --> 00:38:41.360 It is a hospital 00:38:41.360 --> 00:38:42.039 for the sick. 00:38:43.480 --> 00:38:44.480 And if you are not 00:38:44.480 --> 00:38:45.380 a believer this morning, 00:38:45.640 --> 00:38:46.539 I want you to recognize 00:38:46.539 --> 00:38:47.000 something. 00:38:47.720 --> 00:38:48.620 Just like me, 00:38:49.400 --> 00:38:50.820 you may be a hypocrite, 00:38:51.380 --> 00:38:52.640 someone who is in need 00:38:52.640 --> 00:38:53.580 of the grace of God 00:38:53.579 --> 00:38:55.360 and salvation in Christ. 00:38:56.119 --> 00:38:57.219 Just like me, 00:38:57.940 --> 00:38:59.500 you need your heart 00:38:59.500 --> 00:39:00.480 to be made right 00:39:00.480 --> 00:39:01.639 with the Lord. 00:39:02.360 --> 00:39:03.299 My heart was not right. 00:39:03.920 --> 00:39:05.199 My heart was not for God. 00:39:05.259 --> 00:39:06.420 My heart was for me 00:39:06.420 --> 00:39:07.880 so everybody would think 00:39:07.880 --> 00:39:08.639 I was godly. 00:39:09.699 --> 00:39:10.279 This morning, 00:39:10.360 --> 00:39:11.279 if you are a people pleaser, 00:39:11.940 --> 00:39:12.579 by that I mean 00:39:12.579 --> 00:39:13.659 you come to church here 00:39:13.659 --> 00:39:14.619 to be seen 00:39:14.619 --> 00:39:15.460 by every of these pews. 00:39:15.699 --> 00:39:16.319 By that I mean 00:39:16.319 --> 00:39:17.759 you put on the holy act 00:39:17.759 --> 00:39:18.679 all week 00:39:18.679 --> 00:39:19.980 and then before your pastor, 00:39:20.079 --> 00:39:20.340 you say, 00:39:20.579 --> 00:39:21.960 look what God's doing 00:39:21.960 --> 00:39:22.460 for my life 00:39:22.460 --> 00:39:24.440 and then in your quiet 00:39:24.440 --> 00:39:26.559 time by yourself 00:39:26.559 --> 00:39:27.639 when you're alone, 00:39:28.099 --> 00:39:31.000 you live completely different. 00:39:34.340 --> 00:39:35.159 What you recognize 00:39:35.159 --> 00:39:36.199 is that's a trap. 00:39:37.340 --> 00:39:38.199 And the Lord Jesus 00:39:38.199 --> 00:39:40.280 is the best 00:39:40.280 --> 00:39:40.760 at getting us out 00:39:40.760 --> 00:39:41.300 of those traps. 00:39:42.240 --> 00:39:43.019 So this morning, 00:39:43.179 --> 00:39:44.099 I want to open 00:39:44.099 --> 00:39:45.119 this altar for you here. 00:39:45.440 --> 00:39:46.380 These steps are open. 00:39:47.300 --> 00:39:48.599 I don't just encourage you, 00:39:48.659 --> 00:39:49.460 I implore you 00:39:49.460 --> 00:39:50.079 this morning, 00:39:50.220 --> 00:39:50.599 believers, 00:39:50.599

00:39:57.500 Just let it go. 00:39:58.920 --> 00:40:00.079 And turn your heart 00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:01.380 in love 00:40:01.380 --> 00:40:02.500 to the Savior. 00:40:03.719 --> 00:40:04.460 Those who are not 00:40:04.460 --> 00:40:05.159 believers this morning, 00:40:05.380 --> 00:40:06.880 I encourage you 00:40:06.880 --> 00:40:07.440 to come have a talk 00:40:07.440 --> 00:40:07.819 with me.
