Thank you for the productive day yesterday You know, Father, there were just those who could come and and help set up and the change, man, I just, what a, just a beautiful day and an exciting day and it just actually, even though there was some surreal to it, Father, I know there was people praying, those that couldn't make it, were praying, those that were working. Father, they were, they had us on in their mind and on their heart. We thank you. We thank you that this is a family, that this is it's amazing how many people just stopping by and, and checking in, and texting, and, and Father, are looking so so good. You have blessed us so much. So may may we move forward in good stewardship of everything that you're providing. May we be salt and light. May we remember that it is to flow outward. We are absolutely to stay on the move and in motion. Doing the two. We thank you for that. And we pray for those unsheltered. We pray for all of those finding you. That are unsheltered. Father, even hearing the the great news that there were 60 last night At Acts twenty-nine, that is what a blessing, Father. It's just a beautiful thing that God's people can love out loud and that you show up and show out every time. You are always there. Never leaving us nor forsaken us but being right there with us in in and through everything that is going on and thank you for the blessings. Thank you for the fruit. Uh Father, we pray for every heart and mind here this morning that we can just open our hearts and minds even more. And that we can align ourselves and that obedience runs true and faithful and consistent. And that we are willing to put our heads and our hearts into prayer and into commitment and faith. As we move through refinement and into blessing. We thank you for that process. May our faith grow stronger every moment of it. Stepping more in the faith, more into you, more into what you have for us. We love you. We're grateful. Jesus, we can't do this without you. So, this family on here today live and everyone that comes across it, may they know they are family. We are the body and we are doing two things. Loving you, father, loving other people in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Whoo. Amen. Amen. Let's start our day off with some worship. Oh. You gotta go out and come back in. Apparently, Michelle, there's some have people having problems seeing the comments, the chat. If you're on the computer, it's over to the right but on the phone, I'm not, I think it just comes in if you click it, right? It's it's touchy sometimes. It's touchy. A thousand stories or what think your life but the tender whisper the and you tell me that you're pleasing that I never you're good good father it's who you are it's who you are it's who you are and I'm loved by you it's who I am it's who I am it's who I am there's so many searching will last and then he's searching for answers far and wide but we're all searching for answers only you provide because you know just what we need before we say oh a good good father it's who you are it's who you are it's who you are and I'm loved by you it's who I am it's who I am it's who I am you are perfect in all you are perfect in all of your ways you are perfect in all of your ways sing about he's perfect you are perfect in all you are perfect you are perfect in all since it's love it's his love so undeniable I can't hardly speak so unexplainable hardly think as you call me deeper still as you call deepest still as you call me deeper still into love love your good good father it's who you are it's who you are it's who you are and I'm loved by you it's who I am it's who I am it's who I am good good father it's who you are it's who you are, it's who you are and I'm loved by you it's who I am it's who I am it's who I am Amen. Amen. Third verse. Mm. Because it talks about those fruit of the spirit. And when people say fruit or they we talk about gifts spiritually. People always think. Oh that's just that's just something you're born with. And that's that's not how it that's not how it works. It's something God puts inside of you after you get that Holy Spirit and you become part of his family. Um and if you ever thought you didn't have talent. If you ever thought you didn't have purpose. God's gift will come into your life. All of those spiritual gifts, all of that fruit, and they will totally change your purpose, your personality, and the whole way that God presents through your life. So. Amen. I wanted to say just. You know what that's called when we step into that? Go. You know what that's called when we step into all that, right? Little bit of alignment, practication. Oh, man. Okay. Practification. Fine. Uh yes. You explained it better than I ever have right there, man. That is beautiful. I appreciate it. Man, that is beautiful, beautiful. Cuz god wants for us to have all of that and more and more. There's so much more and there those fruits, you know, we think we get a grasp on em and this is that fruit and this is what that fruit means and and we we will never grasp the enormity and how much more. We, as long as we stay open. Matter of fact, I was Pat Zillion this morning. Listening to him and he was he was reaching out to me and something going on with him that god was just flooding him with more and of these fruits and it's just beautiful because when we are willing and we are aligned and we're willing to practice principles. It's amazing what god can do. It's already there in us, ain't it? It sure is. So it is. Gotta get less of you and more of god. Before we dig in here, let me make sure I haven't missed anything. I do see that Luke said that. Yeah, there's some chat stuff going on. Go out and come back in if you have to. That may help it. Looks like some of em reset and did that. Lex's birthday is when. When's Lexus? Lex, when's your birthday? I just seen this so I can probably find out. Amen. You see because we have secret ways of knowing people's stuff. Secret ways. Uh I love it. Knowing your stuff. Uh BYO is perfect in all those ways as we just think about it. Yeah, right. No people's stuff. Actually, Bree sent me. I don't I don't see it now but Bree sent me an update on. Oh, it's today. Wednesdays. It's today. Today? Oh, well, man. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday. That's the longest one. Happy birthday dear Lexi. See? Yeah. Happy birthday. Happy birthday To you. To you. And you gotta you gotta sing. And many more. Yeah. We're going to harmonize here. We only had David we can make this a barbershop quartet. Good morning. We could quintet it, quartet it. What's three? Oh man. Uh True. Trio? Yeah. Trio it. Yeah. Yeah. Alright, we're ready to dig in. Let's hit it. I think we've done enough random stuff. Alright, random stuff over into teaching. Lex, Jamie, I hope you have a blessed, blessed birthday and anyone else coming up that's got birthdays going on. We just pray that you have a blessed one. And my mouse is really acting weird now. Something's going on. Here we go. Alright. Ready to go? If anyone is needing a kitchen table and chairs, free kitchen table chairs. I did take a look at it too. It's pretty nice. Pretty nice oak one. And I seen Chris Poston so he's a good guy and has helped out BYO in many ways. Alright? Let's do this. We ready? Luke chapter twenty. Now, just to kind of give a overview of the chapter because we're going to of course focus on one spot. Um the authority of Jesus is challenged, the parable of the wicked tenants comes in, which is a good parable. Make sure you check that one out. It's well worth to read. And then look in and dive into some of the commentary on it. And then paying taxes. So, that's one of my favorite. I've said before, give to Caesars what's Caesar's. I I say that quite a bit. Sadducees ask about the resurrection. So, they're trying to get him to trick him and to trap him into his comments about the resurrection and and Jesus of course has a way of communicating, a way of communicating that takes us into solution, takes us into more, and it fends off the dissension and fends off the ill will And that we can learn a lot from that communication style. It's one of those that's I try and practice and practice and it absolutely helps. It helps to keep from getting caught up in in you know going way deep and down that rabbit hole of argument and resentment and anger and and all of that and it helps us to then seek to find the truth, seek to know the truth. Then also discuss in the chapter whose son is the Christ and beware of the scribes is how it wraps it up and it says beware of the scribes who like to walk around in long robes and love greetings in the marketplace and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor and feast who devour widows houses for a pretense making long prayers They will receive the greater condemnation. One of the things that I know there is that pride and ego lead to greater condemnation. So, Those who humble themselves will be exalted. Those who exalt themselves. You're going to experience that hump that humility. And it isn't it it's not us that have to bring out or enforce that. God's got it. God's got it. So we stay humble. We stay willing to just move on from it. That's one of the things that I love about what Jesus does. So we're going to start with Luke twenty. At three and four and it says, he answered them, I will also ask you a question. So, they asked him a question and that question is to tell us by what authority you do these things or what it is that gave you authority and he answered them, I also will ask you a question. Now, tell me, was the baptism of John from heaven or from man? So, he acts, he asks a question to answer a question. Now, if you've ever run in to that, that can also be used as a weapon. But here Jesus is absolutely bringing forth the solution. He's bringing the solution into the conversation if they're willing to. He's giving an opportunity for them to seek the truth. But they would then have to acknowledge that he standing right in front of them is the way the truth and the life. Are we living that out today? Are you living? Are you sitting here? Are you at this computer this morning? Wherever you're at on the phone, driving to work. Hopefully, you're not driving and and looking at the phone and just listening but wherever you're at today, wherever you're at right now, are you seeking the truth in Christ or are you thinking and feeling you've got it figured it out and you know exactly who, what, where, when, and why. You know everything you need to know and then God needs to bless what it is that you know. That's not how he works. I talk about that a lot in our movement, in our decisions. I'm going to go do this and then ask god to bless it. This is that same thought pattern. This is that same pattern and this is in where it is the thoughts. What are you willing to do with those thoughts that take you into that selfishness? Are you willing to put them off? Are you willing to move into and seek the truth? Luke of twenty-five goes on to say and they discussed it with one another saying, well, if we say from heaven, he'll say, why did you not believe him? But if we say from man, all the people will stone us to death for they are convinced that John was a prophet. So they answered that they did not know where it came from. And Jesus said to them, neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things. So Jesus then disengages from the conversation. And that's something that I don't know about anybody else on here, but I know about me. That is so hard to do sometimes, especially when I feel I'm in the right here. To disengage from that conversation, humble myself, and allow the allow God to work on the hearts and minds and allow God to prepare the perfect time, the right place, the right time, the right thought, the right feeling, the right mindset, and the heart set for that conversation. If that mindset and heart set set is not right, God will know and and that conversation won't happen. If the mindset and heart set is right, God will bless it and make that opportunity happen. So, are we forcing the issue or are we willing to step in and do it the way that god would have us do it? So, Jesus moved on not from those not seeking the truth and seeking love because they definitely weren't doing this out of love. They weren't loving god and loving other people. They weren't even willing to love Jesus. Even if he wasn't. If thus, if he was not lord and savior, if he was not the son of god, like some of them believed, even if he wasn't, he still deserved to be loved. However, haughtiness and that pridefulness that I read about down there at the bottom of this chapter. That's what keeps us. Sometimes, money, property, prestige, get to be our purpose rather than god and our purpose and we enjoy the fruits of working within god's purpose because god's going to bless us. Press down, shaken, and overrun for what we need. So, if I need, now, there are organizations out there like for instance, Promise Home is one I'm just thinking of comes to the top of my mind. They have been blessed with an abundance, vehicles, abilities, opportunities, and and that is because it's what they need and they're willing to be aligned and they're willing to love. So, if and when we step out of that, one thing we can look at in this practicality is I'm not getting, I'm not Having a lot of blessing in my life. So one of two things. I'm either in a season of refinement. And I need to look more. I need to be more grateful. And I need to look more for that. Or I am in need of challenging and changing some thoughts and some feelings in my life. And look for that which is separating me. Which is not truth seeking. So I want to speak just for a moment because this is a big one on on what would I say? A big one in agenda. Big one God has put on my heart, my mind, and I had to learn this lesson the hard way. Seek the truth. Seeking to understand. If I'm not seeking to understand and I'm seeking to be understood. I am forcing an issue that I believe. It doesn't mean I'm right. I'm we as human beings. Matter of fact we are partially right a whole lot. But especially in God's will and in moving in being Christ like. Learning how and developing the ability to unify. The ability to love God and love other people. We don't have it all right. So, the more that we seek, the more that we strive to understand, I want to understand you and why. There's, you know, for instance, yesterday, day before all the last few weeks, there have been those that have have said things and done things that I totally don't agree with but it doesn't mean that I publicly berate them. It doesn't mean that I come against them. It doesn't mean I smash them on social media or smash them in a crowd or or or attempt to cause physical, verbal, emotional, mental altercation. It doesn't mean that I gaslight. It doesn't mean that I that that I do something to try to set the stage. It means that I humble myself. I bring myself back to God and his word. And then I seek to understand that that person is also a human being is also imperfect. Is also one who needs to have more of God. Who needs to have more of Jesus. Who needs to have more knowledge. Who needs to be able to strive to practice. Now think about this before I wrap it up. In that practice, anyone ever coming against you and telling you how you're wrong, telling you and and and moving against you especially publicly, has that ever motivated you to seek the solution in that situation. It doesn't. It seeks us to come against that and it seeks us to right the wrong. when a lot of times writing the wrong is being humble, being open minded, being transparent, accepting, faithful, trusting God, and moving into the solution and doing like Jesus did here. Not not having that need to sure that I change things and put it put it right right now but seek to let God move in a mighty way. Seek to let the Holy Spirit do its work. Especially in myself. And it's a challenge. It's a daily daily challenge for us. But it's something that we can do even more today. So in the chat give me some I'm ready. Give me some I'm ready in the chat and let's have that accountability and that dedication to I'm ready to seek to understand I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm ready. Come on. Yeah. I think two for me is if if we talk about we we say that pharmaceutical mindset sometimes where you want to make things about rules. When we try to make things or we try to enforce things that we feel are right, we are doing the exact same thing on the other side. So, if we're, if we're coming up against some opposition and we feel like this isn't what Jesus would do, this isn't how Jesus would act and then we go in with we go in with argument, we go in with rules, and all these other things about how we think Jesus would act. We're doing the exact same thing just on the other side of the coin. So, it it really comes down to how do I love a person through this situation because there's never been anybody that has gotten closer to god by being argued to god or you say, this is where you're wrong and this is why you should never believe in god. No one's ever gotten closer to god that way. It comes from love. It comes from getting a little peace of the Holy Spirit that seed planted and that change coming. So, I mean, I'm looking over the the readys coming across the screen, man and and just knowing and loving the people that are saying ready. Uh it just at that absolutely warms my heart. It absolutely warms my heart. I mean, there's a few that warm my heart even a little more because they're family. Yup. Amen. However, I also see Liz Jordan there and says, I'm ready to seek to understand. Liz, know that we are, sister. We're praying for you.
