  • ...
  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:01.317
  • Allen jackson: it's good to be with you again.
  • 00:00:06.556 --> 00:00:08.091
  • You know, we're walking through a season of some pretty
  • 00:00:08.091 --> 00:00:10.627
  • Unprecedented turmoil.
  • 00:00:10.627 --> 00:00:12.729
  • There are cars burning and car dealerships burning, and there
  • 00:00:12.729 --> 00:00:16.533
  • Are judges.
  • 00:00:16.533 --> 00:00:17.867
  • There's just a lot of stuff.
  • 00:00:17.867 --> 00:00:19.936
  • Well, i'm really excited about our offer this month.
  • 00:00:19.936 --> 00:00:21.738
  • In fact, we chose it because i think it will bring you a
  • 00:00:21.738 --> 00:00:24.374
  • Pathway of stability in the midst of all the turmoil.
  • 00:00:24.374 --> 00:00:27.977
  • It's written by a good friend of mine, rob morgan, "the lord is
  • 00:00:27.977 --> 00:00:30.480
  • My shepherd."
  • 00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:31.915
  • And it seems to me we need to know the tranquility that comes
  • 00:00:31.915 --> 00:00:35.151
  • From a shepherd who is marking a path for us and then standing
  • 00:00:35.151 --> 00:00:38.588
  • Watch over us when we know there's predators about.
  • 00:00:38.588 --> 00:00:42.625
  • We're living in a predatory season.
  • 00:00:42.625 --> 00:00:44.527
  • We need to know the lord is a shepherd, and i believe this
  • 00:00:44.527 --> 00:00:47.997
  • Offer can make a real difference in your life.
  • 00:00:47.997 --> 00:00:49.799
  • In fact, it's important enough that we'll make it available for
  • 00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:52.535
  • A gift of any amount.
  • 00:00:52.535 --> 00:00:54.370
  • I think it's far more important that you have it in your hand
  • 00:00:54.370 --> 00:00:56.840
  • Than the cost attached to it.
  • 00:00:56.840 --> 00:00:58.541
  • God is moving in the earth, and we wanna move with him.
  • 00:00:58.541 --> 00:01:01.010
  • Our shepherd will lead us through.
  • 00:01:01.010 --> 00:01:03.046
  • You'll enjoy the book.
  • 00:01:03.046 --> 00:01:09.619
  • ♪♪♪
  • 00:01:12.956 --> 00:01:31.741
  • Allen jackson: this particular session is entitled,
  • 00:01:33.910 --> 00:01:36.079
  • "growing our faith."
  • 00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:37.914
  • If you missed wednesday night, it's worth the time to listen.
  • 00:01:37.914 --> 00:01:39.949
  • It's a companion piece to this, and tomorrow's session we'll
  • 00:01:39.949 --> 00:01:43.453
  • Take it yet another step further.
  • 00:01:43.453 --> 00:01:47.190
  • But it is against the backdrop of what we're watching in
  • 00:01:47.190 --> 00:01:49.893
  • Our world.
  • 00:01:49.893 --> 00:01:51.227
  • Our faith is not lived in a theoretical environment.
  • 00:01:51.227 --> 00:01:55.398
  • You know, one time i was invited to work on a phd in hebrew
  • 00:01:55.398 --> 00:01:59.836
  • Bible, old testament, and i started the process, and i got
  • 00:01:59.836 --> 00:02:03.606
  • Into it a bit, and i realized that the further i went with my
  • 00:02:03.606 --> 00:02:07.076
  • Academics, the more narrow the arena i was allowed to study.
  • 00:02:07.076 --> 00:02:11.447
  • And i remember walking out of the library late one night, and
  • 00:02:11.447 --> 00:02:13.816
  • I'd spent several weeks working on a paper and a presentation,
  • 00:02:13.816 --> 00:02:17.620
  • And the topic was so narrow there weren't probably 50 people
  • 00:02:17.620 --> 00:02:20.056
  • Within 100-mile radius that i could have a discussion about
  • 00:02:20.056 --> 00:02:22.525
  • What i'd just spent two weeks researching.
  • 00:02:22.525 --> 00:02:26.162
  • And it didn't make me smart, it just meant i knew a whole lot
  • 00:02:26.162 --> 00:02:28.364
  • About very little.
  • 00:02:28.364 --> 00:02:30.833
  • You know, the academic system, right?
  • 00:02:30.833 --> 00:02:32.435
  • You learn more and more about less and less, so that you know
  • 00:02:32.435 --> 00:02:34.671
  • Everything about nothing and then they make you a phd.
  • 00:02:34.671 --> 00:02:41.477
  • And if you're a phd, i acknowledge the incredible
  • 00:02:41.477 --> 00:02:43.846
  • Amount of work you put in, and i apologize.
  • 00:02:43.846 --> 00:02:48.585
  • They referred to the church as my little church project, and i
  • 00:02:48.585 --> 00:02:53.156
  • Really, as i was walking through that, i understood the lord was
  • 00:02:53.156 --> 00:02:55.892
  • Asking me to be in the midst of his people, not separate
  • 00:02:55.892 --> 00:02:58.461
  • From them.
  • 00:02:58.461 --> 00:03:00.163
  • And so my understanding of our bible and our faith is it has to
  • 00:03:00.163 --> 00:03:02.865
  • Be lived in the midst of the canvas of our lives.
  • 00:03:02.865 --> 00:03:05.235
  • It's not a theoretical discussion.
  • 00:03:05.235 --> 00:03:08.371
  • The church, i don't believe the church does well when
  • 00:03:08.371 --> 00:03:10.807
  • It's political.
  • 00:03:10.807 --> 00:03:12.342
  • In fact, it has always managed to veer into the ditch in some
  • 00:03:12.342 --> 00:03:15.878
  • Really destructive ways when the church becomes an ally of a
  • 00:03:15.878 --> 00:03:19.182
  • Political party or a candidate.
  • 00:03:19.182 --> 00:03:20.683
  • That's not my goal.
  • 00:03:20.683 --> 00:03:22.952
  • It's not my intent.
  • 00:03:22.952 --> 00:03:24.821
  • But i think we have to live with an awareness of the world around
  • 00:03:24.821 --> 00:03:27.290
  • Us, or our faith is purely theoretical.
  • 00:03:27.290 --> 00:03:30.126
  • If john the baptist had had only a theoretical faith, he would've
  • 00:03:30.126 --> 00:03:32.829
  • Never wound up in prison or been bothered by herod, and so we
  • 00:03:32.829 --> 00:03:38.368
  • Have rather conveniently constructed these divisions that
  • 00:03:38.368 --> 00:03:43.906
  • Allow us not to let the reality of our lives be impeded by what
  • 00:03:43.906 --> 00:03:48.578
  • We say we believe.
  • 00:03:48.578 --> 00:03:52.148
  • And i'm very concerned about a christian church that doesn't
  • 00:03:52.148 --> 00:03:55.885
  • Allow their faith to be engaged in the world in which they live,
  • 00:03:55.885 --> 00:04:00.056
  • And how we do business, and how we select leaders, and who
  • 00:04:00.056 --> 00:04:03.693
  • Provides education for our children, and what's taught in
  • 00:04:03.693 --> 00:04:06.562
  • Those schools.
  • 00:04:06.562 --> 00:04:07.930
  • And we can't separate that, we can't compartmentalize our lives
  • 00:04:07.930 --> 00:04:11.401
  • And imagine that jesus is lord.
  • 00:04:11.401 --> 00:04:13.770
  • So, this notion of growing our faith, it feels relevant to me
  • 00:04:13.770 --> 00:04:18.274
  • This week.
  • 00:04:18.274 --> 00:04:19.642
  • Uncertainty is in the air again.
  • 00:04:19.642 --> 00:04:20.977
  • Do you feel that?
  • 00:04:20.977 --> 00:04:23.146
  • I certainly do.
  • 00:04:23.146 --> 00:04:24.480
  • That same kind of uncertainty, there's not enough information,
  • 00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:27.250
  • There's significant angst, it feels like there's a threat and
  • 00:04:27.250 --> 00:04:32.622
  • We can't exactly tell how eminent it is.
  • 00:04:32.622 --> 00:04:36.826
  • I felt this way a little over two years ago when we first
  • 00:04:36.826 --> 00:04:39.729
  • Heard about covid.
  • 00:04:39.729 --> 00:04:42.065
  • For the most part today, we can say covid has been
  • 00:04:42.065 --> 00:04:44.334
  • Overcome, hallelujah.
  • 00:04:44.334 --> 00:04:47.070
  • The masks have been put away, and the mandates are yielding to
  • 00:04:47.070 --> 00:04:50.006
  • More reasonable accommodations, but there's a new threat, and
  • 00:04:50.006 --> 00:04:54.277
  • There's a new source of disruption, and a new source of
  • 00:04:54.277 --> 00:04:56.713
  • Angst, we understand that as ukraine.
  • 00:04:56.713 --> 00:04:59.582
  • And i'm not diminishing that, i believe it's real, but as a tool
  • 00:04:59.582 --> 00:05:04.387
  • Of disruption, it feels a little bit to me like covid 2.0.
  • 00:05:04.387 --> 00:05:09.125
  • Global tragedy which creates an opportunity for change to
  • 00:05:09.125 --> 00:05:13.162
  • Be introduced.
  • 00:05:13.162 --> 00:05:14.497
  • Now, i'm an advocate for change, i'm a change agent.
  • 00:05:14.497 --> 00:05:16.132
  • I've given my life to introducing change, but it's
  • 00:05:16.132 --> 00:05:19.068
  • Change within a defined set of objectives that i will clearly
  • 00:05:19.068 --> 00:05:23.206
  • Identify as being derived from the word of god.
  • 00:05:23.206 --> 00:05:25.975
  • There were changes introduced through covid that we're not
  • 00:05:25.975 --> 00:05:28.244
  • Clearly identified, they were just implemented.
  • 00:05:28.244 --> 00:05:32.081
  • And it feels like another tragedy has been seized upon.
  • 00:05:32.081 --> 00:05:36.119
  • We have limited information, there's significant intolerance
  • 00:05:36.119 --> 00:05:39.789
  • Of opposing views, there's an orthodox response, how you
  • 00:05:39.789 --> 00:05:43.960
  • Should think about the people involved, and what should
  • 00:05:43.960 --> 00:05:46.462
  • Be done.
  • 00:05:46.462 --> 00:05:48.464
  • Authoritarianism is being strengthened even more.
  • 00:05:48.464 --> 00:05:54.270
  • As hateful as what has happened, as evil as it is, the suspension
  • 00:05:54.270 --> 00:05:59.442
  • Of due process to confiscate the assets of russian citizens
  • 00:05:59.442 --> 00:06:03.146
  • Around the world is a frightening precedent to put
  • 00:06:03.146 --> 00:06:07.483
  • In place.
  • 00:06:07.483 --> 00:06:10.420
  • We have lived by a rule of law and due process, so
  • 00:06:10.420 --> 00:06:14.924
  • Authoritarianism is being strengthened, due process
  • 00:06:14.924 --> 00:06:17.727
  • Diminished, let alone considering or acknowledging the
  • 00:06:17.727 --> 00:06:21.931
  • Will of the people.
  • 00:06:21.931 --> 00:06:25.668
  • We've been buying hundreds of millions of barrels of russian
  • 00:06:25.668 --> 00:06:28.938
  • Oil when we had the ability to be energy independent.
  • 00:06:28.938 --> 00:06:35.878
  • It's a stressful season.
  • 00:06:35.878 --> 00:06:38.147
  • There's a set of words that have made their way into our
  • 00:06:38.147 --> 00:06:40.416
  • Consciousness in the last couple of years, and i think they need
  • 00:06:40.416 --> 00:06:43.786
  • To be at least pushed onto the table for your own awareness
  • 00:06:43.786 --> 00:06:47.790
  • And reflection.
  • 00:06:47.790 --> 00:06:49.158
  • Wokeism, we've learned about that, and that's not just the
  • 00:06:49.158 --> 00:06:50.626
  • Absence of sleep anymore.
  • 00:06:50.626 --> 00:06:53.529
  • Equity not equality, but equity, misinformation, that typically
  • 00:06:53.529 --> 00:06:57.867
  • Means i don't agree with you, that what you're saying
  • 00:06:57.867 --> 00:06:59.569
  • Is wrong.
  • 00:06:59.569 --> 00:07:01.971
  • Corporate stakeholders, we've known about corporate
  • 00:07:01.971 --> 00:07:04.607
  • Shareholders, we understand that premise, but corporate
  • 00:07:04.607 --> 00:07:07.477
  • Stakeholders is a more far-reaching power grab.
  • 00:07:07.477 --> 00:07:13.149
  • If corporations think they have the power to dictate public and
  • 00:07:13.149 --> 00:07:17.086
  • Social policy, we have a burgeoning problem.
  • 00:07:17.086 --> 00:07:21.924
  • We understand corporation's job is to make money, that's
  • 00:07:21.924 --> 00:07:24.494
  • Acknowledged, they have a bottom line, it's monitored in all
  • 00:07:24.494 --> 00:07:27.296
  • Sorts of ways, but if they're gonna set social, and public,
  • 00:07:27.296 --> 00:07:30.833
  • And ideological policies based on what set of standards,
  • 00:07:30.833 --> 00:07:36.038
  • They're a bit inconsistent coca-cola, an atlanta-based
  • 00:07:36.038 --> 00:07:39.075
  • Company, was really stressed about georgia's voting laws.
  • 00:07:39.075 --> 00:07:43.613
  • Lots of public and policy statements, but they didn't have
  • 00:07:43.613 --> 00:07:46.082
  • Any hesitancy to go to the olympics in china as a support
  • 00:07:46.082 --> 00:07:50.353
  • For us.
  • 00:07:50.353 --> 00:07:51.721
  • Again, i'm not adverse to coca-cola, i'm suggesting that
  • 00:07:51.721 --> 00:07:54.590
  • Corporate boardrooms are not the place to set our social policy.
  • 00:07:54.590 --> 00:08:02.598
  • We've learned about systemic problems, existential threats,
  • 00:08:02.598 --> 00:08:06.969
  • We've been introduced ideological intimidation at a
  • 00:08:06.969 --> 00:08:09.405
  • Whole new level.
  • 00:08:09.405 --> 00:08:10.740
  • You get canceled, stricken from the arena of public discussion.
  • 00:08:10.740 --> 00:08:17.747
  • It's bullying in its basest forms.
  • 00:08:17.747 --> 00:08:21.350
  • And all that's happening right around us in the midst of
  • 00:08:21.350 --> 00:08:23.452
  • Crisis, real crisis, life-threatening crisis,
  • 00:08:23.452 --> 00:08:27.657
  • Life-disrupting, family-threatening.
  • 00:08:27.657 --> 00:08:29.392
  • We've all been touched by covid and the tragedy that it
  • 00:08:29.392 --> 00:08:32.395
  • Represents, now there's a new tragedy on the human stage and
  • 00:08:32.395 --> 00:08:36.599
  • It's not finished, and it brings our faith back into question.
  • 00:08:36.599 --> 00:08:43.139
  • And if i had to look for a single sentence or a short
  • 00:08:43.139 --> 00:08:46.842
  • Response, i believe what has to be--what has to reemerge is a
  • 00:08:46.842 --> 00:08:53.215
  • Biblical worldview.
  • 00:08:53.215 --> 00:08:56.118
  • And by that, your worldview is the filter through which you
  • 00:08:56.118 --> 00:08:59.288
  • Interpret what you watch.
  • 00:08:59.288 --> 00:09:01.223
  • Don't spend too much time on the internet.
  • 00:09:01.223 --> 00:09:04.360
  • You'll be so confused.
  • 00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:05.895
  • You won't know if vladimir putin is the mayor of laverne or the
  • 00:09:05.895 --> 00:09:10.099
  • President of russia.
  • 00:09:10.099 --> 00:09:14.136
  • I know when we're in trouble, 'cause you start stopping me in
  • 00:09:14.136 --> 00:09:16.305
  • The lobbies with crazy theories, stop.
  • 00:09:16.305 --> 00:09:21.911
  • Spend more time praying than you do on the internet trying to
  • 00:09:21.911 --> 00:09:25.014
  • Discern the international components.
  • 00:09:25.014 --> 00:09:31.053
  • Ten, 15 minutes a day, you'll get the update.
  • 00:09:31.053 --> 00:09:34.557
  • They don't have that much new information.
  • 00:09:34.557 --> 00:09:36.092
  • They don't let that much new information out.
  • 00:09:36.092 --> 00:09:39.996
  • They didn't show us what happened in afghanistan.
  • 00:09:39.996 --> 00:09:43.366
  • Thousands of our own people and allies were left behind.
  • 00:09:43.366 --> 00:09:46.035
  • They didn't show us pictures of that.
  • 00:09:46.035 --> 00:09:48.304
  • You believe they're showing you everything you need to know now?
  • 00:09:48.304 --> 00:09:50.406
  • Stop it, pray.
  • 00:09:50.406 --> 00:09:53.476
  • But a biblical worldview, your worldview is how you see
  • 00:09:53.476 --> 00:09:56.812
  • The world.
  • 00:09:56.812 --> 00:09:58.180
  • It's the value set, it's the interpretive principle, it's
  • 00:09:58.180 --> 00:10:02.351
  • Your foundation.
  • 00:10:02.351 --> 00:10:04.520
  • What should happen in the schools, how business should
  • 00:10:04.520 --> 00:10:06.622
  • Be conducted.
  • 00:10:06.622 --> 00:10:08.324
  • And our nation was founded, our legal system, our constitution,
  • 00:10:08.324 --> 00:10:12.628
  • Our founding documents, and the best things that have happened
  • 00:10:12.628 --> 00:10:15.865
  • To us as a people have come from a biblical worldview.
  • 00:10:15.865 --> 00:10:20.836
  • The opportunities that came to women, far before feminism was
  • 00:10:20.836 --> 00:10:24.040
  • Ever a thing, our biblical worldview pushed women to a
  • 00:10:24.040 --> 00:10:27.443
  • Place of opportunity that was not reflected globally by
  • 00:10:27.443 --> 00:10:31.914
  • Other cultures.
  • 00:10:31.914 --> 00:10:33.249
  • Didn't happen perfectly and completely, but it happened.
  • 00:10:33.249 --> 00:10:35.651
  • Child labor laws, when the the manufacturing revolution began,
  • 00:10:35.651 --> 00:10:39.789
  • Children were used in deplorable ways, and our worldview didn't
  • 00:10:39.789 --> 00:10:45.494
  • Fix it in the way that you would celebrate today, but our
  • 00:10:45.494 --> 00:10:48.831
  • Worldview that the children were image bearers of god helped us
  • 00:10:48.831 --> 00:10:52.635
  • Intervene and bring a dignity and protection to the children.
  • 00:10:52.635 --> 00:10:55.604
  • The civil rights movement of the '60s, that changed the way we've
  • 00:10:55.604 --> 00:10:59.041
  • Lived our lives for the decades since, was built upon the
  • 00:10:59.041 --> 00:11:02.311
  • Authority of scripture.
  • 00:11:02.311 --> 00:11:05.915
  • Dr. king's vision that was celebrated so eloquently in the
  • 00:11:05.915 --> 00:11:08.984
  • "i have a dream" speech in d.c.
  • 00:11:08.984 --> 00:11:11.253
  • Was built upon the authority of scripture, not some idea in his
  • 00:11:11.253 --> 00:11:14.790
  • Heart, a biblical worldview.
  • 00:11:14.790 --> 00:11:19.595
  • He said if you gave your word, you kept it, and if you broke
  • 00:11:19.595 --> 00:11:23.566
  • Your word, you should be disrespected.
  • 00:11:23.566 --> 00:11:28.304
  • You didn't misspeak, you misled.
  • 00:11:28.304 --> 00:11:33.876
  • We did business on a handshake, how quaint.
  • 00:11:33.876 --> 00:11:40.683
  • We had a biblical view of family and a biblical view of marriage,
  • 00:11:40.683 --> 00:11:45.955
  • How quaint.
  • 00:11:45.955 --> 00:11:47.990
  • We have forfeited or set aside our biblical worldview.
  • 00:11:47.990 --> 00:11:51.694
  • You can call it a judeo-christian worldview,
  • 00:11:51.694 --> 00:11:54.163
  • Because it comes from both the hebrew bible, the old testament,
  • 00:11:54.163 --> 00:11:57.666
  • And the new testament.
  • 00:11:57.666 --> 00:11:59.034
  • It's not dependent upon just one.
  • 00:11:59.034 --> 00:12:01.971
  • It has to be understood again.
  • 00:12:01.971 --> 00:12:04.240
  • We'll have to decide if we will live by it.
  • 00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:09.278
  • And if you ask me for an assignment for the church in the
  • 00:12:09.278 --> 00:12:11.781
  • 21st century, it's centered in the person of jesus, but the
  • 00:12:11.781 --> 00:12:15.151
  • Talking points have to do with how do you see the world?
  • 00:12:15.151 --> 00:12:20.790
  • Tell me how you understand it.
  • 00:12:20.790 --> 00:12:22.458
  • What's of first importance to you?
  • 00:12:22.458 --> 00:12:25.961
  • Because we've lost our way, church.
  • 00:12:25.961 --> 00:12:29.098
  • We're barely distinguishable from the secularist amongst us,
  • 00:12:29.098 --> 00:12:33.736
  • And there's this self-righteousness amongst the
  • 00:12:33.736 --> 00:12:37.039
  • Ungodly that i have not seen in a long, long time.
  • 00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:43.112
  • And the language is being manipulated, you know, most of
  • 00:12:43.112 --> 00:12:47.583
  • The antisemitism in the world, and there has been a tremendous
  • 00:12:47.583 --> 00:12:50.786
  • Amount of antisemitism, hatred of the jewish people, long
  • 00:12:50.786 --> 00:12:55.925
  • Before the nazis picked it up.
  • 00:12:55.925 --> 00:12:57.359
  • The nazis could pick it up because it was in the dna of
  • 00:12:57.359 --> 00:13:00.563
  • Europe already.
  • 00:13:00.563 --> 00:13:03.132
  • You see it in shakespeare's writings.
  • 00:13:03.132 --> 00:13:06.302
  • You see it in the spanish inquisition, 15th century.
  • 00:13:06.302 --> 00:13:10.573
  • The jews were driven out of spain.
  • 00:13:10.573 --> 00:13:12.575
  • You see it in the pro pogroms of russia, often fanned into flame,
  • 00:13:12.575 --> 00:13:18.380
  • And fury, and violence by the orthodox church.
  • 00:13:18.380 --> 00:13:25.087
  • The point of ignition for most of the antisemitism was the lie
  • 00:13:25.087 --> 00:13:29.558
  • Of jewish privilege.
  • 00:13:29.558 --> 00:13:32.761
  • They've had too much opportunity.
  • 00:13:32.761 --> 00:13:35.598
  • There are manipulative, they're controlling.
  • 00:13:35.598 --> 00:13:41.170
  • And again, the spark that would allow the hatred and the
  • 00:13:41.170 --> 00:13:43.973
  • Violence to be expressed against the jewish people was so base.
  • 00:13:43.973 --> 00:13:48.577
  • You can have what they have, to go take it, you have a right
  • 00:13:48.577 --> 00:13:51.580
  • To it.
  • 00:13:51.580 --> 00:13:54.817
  • We see the same ideologies bringing division, and hatred,
  • 00:13:54.817 --> 00:13:57.786
  • And separation.
  • 00:13:57.786 --> 00:13:59.121
  • It's not a new strategy, and it's being embraced widely by
  • 00:13:59.121 --> 00:14:03.726
  • The church, not just against the jewish people, but against any
  • 00:14:03.726 --> 00:14:06.462
  • Group of us that they wanna segment, or separate, or create
  • 00:14:06.462 --> 00:14:10.399
  • Angst against, or isolate, it's ungodly.
  • 00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:14.737
  • The church has separated, we've lost our sense of a worldview,
  • 00:14:14.737 --> 00:14:17.773
  • Who we are, what we believe, and why.
  • 00:14:17.773 --> 00:14:21.310
  • We identify ourselves by the sign in front of the building,
  • 00:14:21.310 --> 00:14:24.580
  • What nonsense.
  • 00:14:24.580 --> 00:14:27.149
  • A laminated tag from w.o.c.
  • 00:14:27.149 --> 00:14:28.751
  • Won't do a bit of good when you step into eternity, nor will
  • 00:14:28.751 --> 00:14:33.188
  • Your affiliation with any other tradition, pentecostal,
  • 00:14:33.188 --> 00:14:35.858
  • Independent, inter-denominational,
  • 00:14:35.858 --> 00:14:38.627
  • Non-denominational, methodist, baptist, or catholic.
  • 00:14:38.627 --> 00:14:40.896
  • They're not gonna take roll call by the group you joined.
  • 00:14:40.896 --> 00:14:48.037
  • Have i offended everybody equally?
  • 00:14:48.037 --> 00:14:49.705
  • I'm workin' on it.
  • 00:14:49.705 --> 00:14:51.040
  • I wanna spread it around, and i don't want to leave anybody out.
  • 00:14:51.040 --> 00:14:56.679
  • A biblical worldview, 'cause it's important, 'cause we're
  • 00:14:56.679 --> 00:14:59.181
  • Gonna talk a lot over these next few weeks about what we can do
  • 00:14:59.181 --> 00:15:02.084
  • Amongst ourselves and our community to bolster, to
  • 00:15:02.084 --> 00:15:06.255
  • Reintroduce, to ignite, to tell people to began to reconstruct a
  • 00:15:06.255 --> 00:15:10.960
  • Biblical way of understanding the world and not be ashamed of
  • 00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:14.863
  • It, not apologize for it, not step away from it.
  • 00:15:14.863 --> 00:15:20.102
  • There's room for a great deal of diversity within that, how we
  • 00:15:20.102 --> 00:15:24.173
  • Take communion, what kind of music we prefer, what the
  • 00:15:24.173 --> 00:15:26.275
  • Presenter at the front of the room wears, what the podium's
  • 00:15:26.275 --> 00:15:28.410
  • Made out of, the architecture of the building.
  • 00:15:28.410 --> 00:15:30.579
  • You could have opinion around all of those things around your
  • 00:15:30.579 --> 00:15:32.581
  • Faith, but don't imagine they're primary, because when the time
  • 00:15:32.581 --> 00:15:37.319
  • Gets really bad, we learned we'll stand outside in the rain
  • 00:15:37.319 --> 00:15:39.621
  • To worship jesus.
  • 00:15:39.621 --> 00:15:43.158
  • Allen: hey, the question i'm asked most often is, "how do i
  • 00:15:47.363 --> 00:15:49.598
  • Know what god wants me to do?
  • 00:15:49.598 --> 00:15:51.100
  • If i just knew what god wanted me to do, i would do it,
  • 00:15:51.100 --> 00:15:53.402
  • Whatever it is."
  • 00:15:53.402 --> 00:15:55.137
  • Well, our offer this month i think will help.
  • 00:15:55.137 --> 00:15:56.839
  • It's by a good friend of mine, rob morgan, "the lord is my
  • 00:15:56.839 --> 00:15:59.074
  • Shepherd."
  • 00:15:59.074 --> 00:16:00.409
  • He's gonna unpack the scripture that tells us how to follow the
  • 00:16:00.409 --> 00:16:03.245
  • Lord's guidance and understand his abiding presence and his
  • 00:16:03.245 --> 00:16:06.849
  • Comfort.
  • 00:16:06.849 --> 00:16:08.183
  • It'll help you chart a course and know the path that god has
  • 00:16:08.183 --> 00:16:11.286
  • For you.
  • 00:16:11.286 --> 00:16:12.621
  • Get a copy, it'll make a difference in your life.
  • 00:16:12.621 --> 00:16:14.790
  • Female announcer: life can be overwhelming, but true peace is
  • 00:16:14.790 --> 00:16:17.292
  • Possible.
  • 00:16:17.292 --> 00:16:18.694
  • Pastor robert morgan's book "the lord is my shepherd" reflects on
  • 00:16:18.694 --> 00:16:21.363
  • The specific ways psalm 23 speaks to our lives today.
  • 00:16:21.363 --> 00:16:24.700
  • It will help you find rest for your soul and discover the joy,
  • 00:16:24.700 --> 00:16:27.970
  • Inspiration, power, and peace found in psalm 23.
  • 00:16:27.970 --> 00:16:31.807
  • In today's culture it's essential to know god is leading
  • 00:16:31.807 --> 00:16:34.443
  • Us, charting our path, and watching over us.
  • 00:16:34.443 --> 00:16:37.646
  • Request your copy of "the lord is my shepherd" when you donate
  • 00:16:37.646 --> 00:16:40.149
  • Any amount at allenjackson.com or by calling ...
  • 00:16:40.149 --> 00:16:46.321
  • Allen: so, let's start with this notion, i think it's safe to say
  • 00:16:48.023 --> 00:16:50.559
  • We're continuing in a crisis, but there is a resolution, and i
  • 00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:55.464
  • Don't want you to miss that.
  • 00:16:55.464 --> 00:16:56.799
  • If you fail to look at the crisis, you know, it's the old
  • 00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:00.169
  • "gone with the wind" syndrome, i'll think about it tomorrow.
  • 00:17:00.169 --> 00:17:03.772
  • I'll just deal with it tomorrow.
  • 00:17:03.772 --> 00:17:06.075
  • And the churches, we've been kicking the can down the street.
  • 00:17:06.075 --> 00:17:09.211
  • If our kids can get in the tournament, if we can go on our
  • 00:17:09.211 --> 00:17:11.413
  • Vacation, if we can do whatever it is, we just won't look at the
  • 00:17:11.413 --> 00:17:14.450
  • Larger issues.
  • 00:17:14.450 --> 00:17:17.019
  • We'll have to acknowledge it, or we can't get better.
  • 00:17:17.019 --> 00:17:19.054
  • It's like being afraid to go to the doctor.
  • 00:17:19.054 --> 00:17:20.489
  • That's not a good position.
  • 00:17:20.489 --> 00:17:24.026
  • There's a crisis, but there is a resolution.
  • 00:17:24.026 --> 00:17:26.962
  • I think the crisis is really rooted in the fact that truth
  • 00:17:26.962 --> 00:17:29.131
  • Has been diminished.
  • 00:17:29.131 --> 00:17:30.466
  • Isaiah 59, we've looked at it before, verse 14.
  • 00:17:30.466 --> 00:17:32.868
  • "justice is driven back, and righteousness stands at a
  • 00:17:32.868 --> 00:17:37.473
  • Distance, and truth has stumbled in the streets.
  • 00:17:37.473 --> 00:17:39.441
  • Honesty cannot enter.
  • 00:17:39.441 --> 00:17:40.776
  • Truth is nowhere to be found, and whoever shuns evil becomes a
  • 00:17:40.776 --> 00:17:44.346
  • Prey, and the lord looked and was displeased that there was
  • 00:17:44.346 --> 00:17:46.648
  • No justice."
  • 00:17:46.648 --> 00:17:48.317
  • This is isaiah, some 500 years before jesus.
  • 00:17:48.317 --> 00:17:51.720
  • The problem we have is not a new one.
  • 00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:53.555
  • We're not the first generation to fall into this place.
  • 00:17:53.555 --> 00:17:57.593
  • There's a tendency amongst us, and i say that, i say amongst
  • 00:17:57.593 --> 00:18:00.562
  • Evangelicals, i think particularly in our nation, that
  • 00:18:00.562 --> 00:18:03.432
  • When there's a crisis, whether it's a personal crisis, or an
  • 00:18:03.432 --> 00:18:07.903
  • Economic crisis, or a global crisis, our kinda default
  • 00:18:07.903 --> 00:18:12.207
  • Position is it's the end of the world.
  • 00:18:12.207 --> 00:18:15.110
  • It's gotta be the end of the age, and we get out our
  • 00:18:15.110 --> 00:18:16.979
  • Eschatology books again, and our charts, and we start dusting
  • 00:18:16.979 --> 00:18:20.249
  • Them off, you know, what's gonna happen first, and are you pre,
  • 00:18:20.249 --> 00:18:24.319
  • Post, or mid?
  • 00:18:24.319 --> 00:18:26.588
  • You know, where do you fit?
  • 00:18:26.588 --> 00:18:28.590
  • And i'm okay with that, it's a part of the presentation of
  • 00:18:28.590 --> 00:18:32.127
  • Scripture, and i think an awareness of that is good.
  • 00:18:32.127 --> 00:18:34.229
  • Peter said we shouldn't ignore the prophets, but the prophets
  • 00:18:34.229 --> 00:18:37.366
  • Had a lot to say about things other than just the return of
  • 00:18:37.366 --> 00:18:39.835
  • The lord, and i think from time to time, the rush to the end of
  • 00:18:39.835 --> 00:18:44.606
  • The age is detrimental.
  • 00:18:44.606 --> 00:18:47.276
  • The real challenge is how do we serve the lord now?
  • 00:18:47.276 --> 00:18:50.913
  • I want out of here on the first load up, i'm not fighting
  • 00:18:50.913 --> 00:18:54.449
  • To tribulate.
  • 00:18:54.449 --> 00:18:57.052
  • On the other hand, i intend to be about his business until he
  • 00:18:57.052 --> 00:19:00.455
  • Comes for me.
  • 00:19:00.455 --> 00:19:02.591
  • I'm not delaying, because i think i'm near the end and i can
  • 00:19:02.591 --> 00:19:05.227
  • Just kinda run out the clock, and i'm not looking for a cave.
  • 00:19:05.227 --> 00:19:10.899
  • How much food are you going to stockpile if there's
  • 00:19:10.899 --> 00:19:12.568
  • Hungry people?
  • 00:19:12.568 --> 00:19:13.936
  • We're coming, and we're not telling you, we'll find you.
  • 00:19:13.936 --> 00:19:22.978
  • Happened every year on the israel tours.
  • 00:19:22.978 --> 00:19:25.814
  • Best fruits and vegetables in the world are in israel.
  • 00:19:25.814 --> 00:19:29.952
  • I'll tell the tours at every year and every year.
  • 00:19:29.952 --> 00:19:31.753
  • There's somebody wouldn't believe me, and they'd take a
  • 00:19:31.753 --> 00:19:33.188
  • Whole carry-on bag filled with snacks.
  • 00:19:33.188 --> 00:19:37.025
  • They wouldn't tell any of us 'til about day three, and the
  • 00:19:37.025 --> 00:19:41.797
  • Food is good.
  • 00:19:41.797 --> 00:19:43.832
  • They start getting on the bus in the mornings with lots of snacks
  • 00:19:43.832 --> 00:19:46.168
  • For everybody.
  • 00:19:46.168 --> 00:19:48.136
  • The food had been awful, all we'd known was they smelled like
  • 00:19:48.136 --> 00:19:50.839
  • Ding dongs and chocolate every day, and they wouldn't have
  • 00:19:50.839 --> 00:19:53.108
  • Shared with us.
  • 00:19:53.108 --> 00:19:55.444
  • How'd i get there?
  • 00:19:55.444 --> 00:19:56.812
  • Truth diminished, fallen in the streets, the end of the age,
  • 00:19:56.812 --> 00:19:58.714
  • That's what i was doing.
  • 00:19:58.714 --> 00:20:01.016
  • Maybe we're just witnessing something different.
  • 00:20:01.016 --> 00:20:04.720
  • And i'm not saying that we're not moving closer to the end of
  • 00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:07.155
  • The age, but what if we're just witnesses to patterns of the
  • 00:20:07.155 --> 00:20:09.491
  • End, the beginning of those birth pains?
  • 00:20:09.491 --> 00:20:13.829
  • And they will increase in their intensity, in their frequency,
  • 00:20:13.829 --> 00:20:16.999
  • But rather than look for tuesday, let's see how we can
  • 00:20:16.999 --> 00:20:20.836
  • Win the day, and win the week, and make an impact for the
  • 00:20:20.836 --> 00:20:23.105
  • Kingdom this year.
  • 00:20:23.105 --> 00:20:25.173
  • Maybe it should form an urgency in us and not a withdrawal from
  • 00:20:25.173 --> 00:20:28.610
  • The arena.
  • 00:20:28.610 --> 00:20:31.413
  • It certainly seems to me that truth is not celebrated in the
  • 00:20:31.413 --> 00:20:34.149
  • Public square.
  • 00:20:34.149 --> 00:20:36.151
  • That manipulation and disinformation are more frequent
  • 00:20:36.151 --> 00:20:40.155
  • Than i've ever seen them in the world where we're living
  • 00:20:40.155 --> 00:20:42.124
  • Our lives.
  • 00:20:42.124 --> 00:20:43.492
  • In my car one day this week, i heard the news report that said
  • 00:20:43.492 --> 00:20:45.360
  • The russian government was not allowing the media to report the
  • 00:20:45.360 --> 00:20:49.031
  • Truth to the people, and my first thought was that's awful,
  • 00:20:49.031 --> 00:20:54.336
  • And as a child or a young person, that's the way i
  • 00:20:54.336 --> 00:20:56.905
  • Understood the soviet union to be.
  • 00:20:56.905 --> 00:20:58.307
  • They wouldn't allow a free flow of information to the people.
  • 00:20:58.307 --> 00:21:01.176
  • Was it tass
  • 00:21:01.176 --> 00:21:02.511
  • That used to be their news agency?
  • 00:21:02.511 --> 00:21:05.180
  • And then i thought, but we've learned to live with that.
  • 00:21:05.180 --> 00:21:09.885
  • The tech elites, or whoever else it is that decides what
  • 00:21:09.885 --> 00:21:13.588
  • Information we should have and shouldn't have is far more--it's
  • 00:21:13.588 --> 00:21:16.758
  • Uncomfortable, we'd rather not talk about it, so we watch the
  • 00:21:16.758 --> 00:21:21.863
  • Channels that we like.
  • 00:21:21.863 --> 00:21:25.734
  • That's another discussion.
  • 00:21:25.734 --> 00:21:28.737
  • So, what's the solution?
  • 00:21:28.737 --> 00:21:30.105
  • Well, when the truth stumbles an introduction is needed.
  • 00:21:30.105 --> 00:21:32.374
  • When the truth is fallen in the street, we have to reintroduce
  • 00:21:32.374 --> 00:21:34.843
  • The truth.
  • 00:21:34.843 --> 00:21:36.211
  • And where do we begin with that?
  • 00:21:36.211 --> 00:21:37.546
  • Well, it's not too complicated, it's john 14 in verse 6.
  • 00:21:37.546 --> 00:21:40.515
  • Jesus said, "i'm the way, the truth, and the life.
  • 00:21:40.515 --> 00:21:43.018
  • No one comes to the father except through me."
  • 00:21:43.018 --> 00:21:45.487
  • That's the fundamental that has to be re entered in
  • 00:21:45.487 --> 00:21:47.656
  • The equation.
  • 00:21:47.656 --> 00:21:49.024
  • Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.
  • 00:21:49.024 --> 00:21:51.560
  • Your life will be better with jesus than without him.
  • 00:21:51.560 --> 00:21:55.063
  • Talk to me about jesus in your life.
  • 00:21:55.063 --> 00:21:57.165
  • How do you know him?
  • 00:21:57.165 --> 00:21:58.967
  • How do you interact with him?
  • 00:21:58.967 --> 00:22:00.369
  • What space does he occupy?
  • 00:22:00.369 --> 00:22:02.204
  • Where is he in the hierarchy of priorities in your life?
  • 00:22:02.204 --> 00:22:05.374
  • Who establishes the values that you hold?
  • 00:22:05.374 --> 00:22:08.443
  • From what are they derived?
  • 00:22:08.443 --> 00:22:10.011
  • With whom do you discuss them?
  • 00:22:10.011 --> 00:22:12.714
  • Whose approval are you striving for?
  • 00:22:12.714 --> 00:22:16.017
  • How are you evaluating your success or your failure?
  • 00:22:16.017 --> 00:22:20.956
  • What is the framework through which you are looking at that?
  • 00:22:20.956 --> 00:22:24.393
  • Now, i know we're in church, and the right answer is jesus, and
  • 00:22:24.393 --> 00:22:26.795
  • You can build all the answers out of that, but in the honesty
  • 00:22:26.795 --> 00:22:29.598
  • Of your life, jesus said, "i'm the way, the truth, and
  • 00:22:29.598 --> 00:22:34.302
  • The life."
  • 00:22:34.302 --> 00:22:35.871
  • The defining criteria of our life has to do with our
  • 00:22:35.871 --> 00:22:39.040
  • Relationship with jesus and his engagement with us in every
  • 00:22:39.040 --> 00:22:42.944
  • Aspect of our lives.
  • 00:22:42.944 --> 00:22:45.147
  • And the reason our culture is devoid of truth is the church
  • 00:22:45.147 --> 00:22:48.650
  • Has been woefully apart from the truth, amen?
  • 00:22:48.650 --> 00:22:55.524
  • So, i want to take a few minutes and walk with you through kind
  • 00:22:58.960 --> 00:23:02.631
  • Of a, just a general discussion about the christian faith and
  • 00:23:02.631 --> 00:23:06.501
  • What it would look like for us to grow in our faith.
  • 00:23:06.501 --> 00:23:11.072
  • What would that look like for you and me to gain some
  • 00:23:11.072 --> 00:23:13.575
  • New momentum?
  • 00:23:13.575 --> 00:23:15.343
  • I'm not recruiting, i'm not asking you to serve on a team,
  • 00:23:15.343 --> 00:23:18.180
  • Or a project, i don't have capital campaign cards taped
  • 00:23:18.180 --> 00:23:21.883
  • Under your chairs.
  • 00:23:21.883 --> 00:23:24.152
  • I'm not above it, i just didn't do it today.
  • 00:23:24.152 --> 00:23:28.857
  • But in my opinion, it's at least an informed opinion.
  • 00:23:28.857 --> 00:23:32.327
  • For decades, the church has been distracting and weakened by our
  • 00:23:32.327 --> 00:23:36.164
  • Affluence and our ease.
  • 00:23:36.164 --> 00:23:38.934
  • We've had so much that jesus didn't really have to be front
  • 00:23:38.934 --> 00:23:41.837
  • And center until we got to a desperate place, a health
  • 00:23:41.837 --> 00:23:44.606
  • Crisis, a family crisis, some sort of external thing.
  • 00:23:44.606 --> 00:23:50.145
  • But apart from that, we would look around us and go, "you
  • 00:23:50.145 --> 00:23:52.647
  • Know, we got this."
  • 00:23:52.647 --> 00:23:54.616
  • Either through political power, or hard work, or education, or
  • 00:23:54.616 --> 00:23:57.385
  • Fame, something.
  • 00:23:57.385 --> 00:23:59.955
  • Our affluence and ease have been so--i visit places in the world
  • 00:23:59.955 --> 00:24:03.458
  • Where they have no imagination.
  • 00:24:03.458 --> 00:24:06.828
  • I go places where ice cream is a novelty they seldom, if
  • 00:24:06.828 --> 00:24:11.032
  • Ever, experience.
  • 00:24:11.032 --> 00:24:13.802
  • Where electricity is not a part of their routine.
  • 00:24:13.802 --> 00:24:20.876
  • We take so much for granted.
  • 00:24:20.876 --> 00:24:24.246
  • Comfort and convenience had been at the forefront of our
  • 00:24:24.246 --> 00:24:26.515
  • Faith experience.
  • 00:24:26.515 --> 00:24:28.016
  • Go read the common titles in a christian bookstore or browse
  • 00:24:28.016 --> 00:24:31.586
  • Them online for a bit.
  • 00:24:31.586 --> 00:24:34.322
  • Most of our titles are about how to get god to do what we want
  • 00:24:34.322 --> 00:24:36.625
  • Him to do.
  • 00:24:36.625 --> 00:24:38.460
  • How to get more of what we want.
  • 00:24:38.460 --> 00:24:40.629
  • Now, i'm not opposed to the blessings of god, but our faith
  • 00:24:40.629 --> 00:24:43.565
  • Has to be less of my personal demands upon god and more about
  • 00:24:43.565 --> 00:24:51.706
  • Sacrifice and perseverance.
  • 00:24:51.706 --> 00:24:56.811
  • Jesus said you cannot be my disciple unless you take up your
  • 00:24:56.811 --> 00:25:00.048
  • Cross daily and follow me, and he wasn't talking about little
  • 00:25:00.048 --> 00:25:02.918
  • Decorative jewelry in your ear lobes.
  • 00:25:02.918 --> 00:25:07.923
  • You gotta put the death, that old carnal part of you, every
  • 00:25:07.923 --> 00:25:10.592
  • Day, jesus said.
  • 00:25:10.592 --> 00:25:15.330
  • It's time for us to change.
  • 00:25:15.330 --> 00:25:18.366
  • Us, not them, us.
  • 00:25:18.366 --> 00:25:21.369
  • If god's people will get our hearts right, god will move
  • 00:25:21.369 --> 00:25:23.672
  • Heaven and earth.
  • 00:25:23.672 --> 00:25:25.440
  • Allen: you know, i really dislike the idea
  • 00:25:25.507 --> 00:25:26.875
  • Of a religious lecture.
  • 00:25:26.875 --> 00:25:28.410
  • I believe the point of ministry or opening the word of god
  • 00:25:28.410 --> 00:25:31.146
  • Is to be transformed by it.
  • 00:25:31.146 --> 00:25:32.847
  • So before we go, i want to give you two invitations.
  • 00:25:32.847 --> 00:25:34.883
  • One's a prayer i'm going to pray with you,
  • 00:25:34.883 --> 00:25:36.217
  • But the other is our offer this month.
  • 00:25:36.217 --> 00:25:37.986
  • The book is "the lord is my shepherd"
  • 00:25:37.986 --> 00:25:39.854
  • By my friend rob morgan.
  • 00:25:39.854 --> 00:25:41.356
  • It's an important word in this season to understand god's
  • 00:25:41.356 --> 00:25:45.427
  • Direction, his abiding presence, his protection.
  • 00:25:45.427 --> 00:25:48.530
  • We all need that.
  • 00:25:48.530 --> 00:25:49.998
  • It'll be a blessing in your life.
  • 00:25:49.998 --> 00:25:51.333
  • It's something i think you'll want to share with some friends.
  • 00:25:51.333 --> 00:25:53.635
  • But i want to pray with you before we go,
  • 00:25:53.635 --> 00:25:55.103
  • That we'll know we're not alone.
  • 00:25:55.103 --> 00:25:56.905
  • Heavenly father, i thank you for the resources you give us,
  • 00:25:56.905 --> 00:25:59.608
  • For the voices that you provide in our lives,
  • 00:25:59.608 --> 00:26:02.077
  • That in a world of turmoil and confusion and,
  • 00:26:02.077 --> 00:26:04.412
  • Honestly, great fear, that your calm,
  • 00:26:04.412 --> 00:26:06.948
  • Assuring voice guides us, and i thank you for it today.
  • 00:26:06.948 --> 00:26:10.585
  • Thank you for your faithfulness.
  • 00:26:10.585 --> 00:26:12.053
  • In jesus's name, amen.
  • 00:26:12.053 --> 00:26:14.723
  • Get a copy of "the lord is my shepherd," and you take your
  • 00:26:14.723 --> 00:26:17.726
  • Prayers into your family.

  • We're a light in this dark world.
  • 00:26:19.094 --> 00:26:21.029
