The first verse is everything that's manmade and temporary,
00:01:55.563 --> 00:01:59.366
That's manmade and temporary, it's being shaken.
00:01:59.433 --> 00:02:00.801
It's being shaken. we're living in that time.
00:02:00.868 --> 00:02:03.037
We're living in that time. we don't know what the next
00:02:03.103 --> 00:02:04.438
We don't know what the next seven months are going to bring.
00:02:04.505 --> 00:02:06.307
Seven months are going to bring. i feel an uneasiness
00:02:06.373 --> 00:02:07.942
I feel an uneasiness just a little bit.

Happening internally. everything that can be

Everything that can be shaken is being shaken.
00:02:19.653 --> 00:02:22.756
Shaken is being shaken. but we have received
00:02:22.823 --> 00:02:24.258
But we have received the kingdom.
00:02:24.325 --> 00:02:26.727
The kingdom. now, if you haven't

You can shout on that part, but if you have received
00:02:30.064 --> 00:02:31.832
But if you have received a kingdom that cannot be shaken,
00:02:31.899 --> 00:02:34.535
A kingdom that cannot be shaken, and my family is
00:02:34.602 --> 00:02:35.402
And my family is in that kingdom.
00:02:35.469 --> 00:02:36.937
In that kingdom. [applause]

[applause] my life is in that kingdom.
00:02:41.742 --> 00:02:43.210
My life is in that kingdom. and it does not mean that
00:02:43.277 --> 00:02:44.478
And it does not mean that we're immune from trouble,
00:02:44.545 --> 00:02:46.213
We're immune from trouble, and storms, and difficulties,
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:48.949
And storms, and difficulties, and adversities.
00:02:49.016 --> 00:02:51.051
And adversities. but whatever life brings
00:02:51.118 --> 00:02:53.387
But whatever life brings i have received a kingdom,
00:02:53.454 --> 00:02:56.323
I have received a kingdom, a structure, a foundation,
00:02:56.390 --> 00:03:00.261
A structure, a foundation, that cannot be shaken.
00:03:00.327 --> 00:03:01.829
That cannot be shaken. [applause]
00:03:01.895 --> 00:03:03.497
[applause] i wanna preach today
00:03:03.564 --> 00:03:05.599
I wanna preach today on how to be unshakable.
00:03:05.666 --> 00:03:08.669
On how to be unshakable. because you see,
00:03:08.736 --> 00:03:09.703
Because you see, the foundation that
00:03:09.770 --> 00:03:11.138
The foundation that we build our life on matters.
00:03:11.205 --> 00:03:12.873
We build our life on matters. that's why in matthew 7
00:03:12.940 --> 00:03:15.809
That's why in matthew 7 it talks about, there are only
00:03:15.876 --> 00:03:17.444
It talks about, there are only two foundations that people
00:03:17.511 --> 00:03:19.113
Two foundations that people build their homes
00:03:19.179 --> 00:03:20.914
Build their homes and their lives on.
00:03:20.981 --> 00:03:21.915
And their lives on. he talks about building
00:03:21.982 --> 00:03:23.984
He talks about building your home on the rock.
00:03:24.051 --> 00:03:27.988
Your home on the rock. and he said,
00:03:28.055 --> 00:03:30.057
And he said, "and when the rain descended,
00:03:30.124 --> 00:03:32.459
"and when the rain descended, and the floods came,
00:03:32.526 --> 00:03:33.727
And the floods came, and the winds blew,
00:03:33.794 --> 00:03:34.461
And the winds blew, and beat on that house,
00:03:34.528 --> 00:03:35.763
And beat on that house, it didn't fall,
00:03:35.829 --> 00:03:37.298
It didn't fall, for it was founded,
00:03:37.364 --> 00:03:38.599
For it was founded, it was structured on the rock.
00:03:38.666 --> 00:03:42.670
It was structured on the rock. but to every one of these
00:03:42.736 --> 00:03:44.738
But to every one of these sayings of mine who hears it
00:03:44.805 --> 00:03:47.007
Sayings of mine who hears it and they don't do them,
00:03:47.074 --> 00:03:48.309
And they don't do them, they're like a fool who builds
00:03:48.375 --> 00:03:50.477
They're like a fool who builds their house on sand
00:03:50.544 --> 00:03:52.146
Their house on sand and the rain descended,
00:03:52.212 --> 00:03:53.447
And the rain descended, the floods came."
00:03:53.514 --> 00:03:54.782
The floods came." notice they go
00:03:54.848 --> 00:03:55.349
Notice they go through the same thing.
00:03:55.416 --> 00:03:58.385
Through the same thing. we're not immune.
00:03:58.452 --> 00:03:59.486
We're not immune. we don't -- we don't get a --
00:03:59.553 --> 00:04:01.055
We don't -- we don't get a -- get out of free --
00:04:01.121 --> 00:04:02.423
Get out of free -- get out of jail free,
00:04:02.489 --> 00:04:03.791
Get out of jail free, get out of pain free,
00:04:03.857 --> 00:04:05.025
Get out of pain free, get out of suffering free card
00:04:05.092 --> 00:04:08.796
Get out of suffering free card because we're christians.
00:04:08.862 --> 00:04:10.497
Because we're christians. we're gonna all go
00:04:10.564 --> 00:04:11.298
We're gonna all go through it in life.
00:04:11.365 --> 00:04:13.033
Through it in life. but the only difference
00:04:13.100 --> 00:04:14.201
But the only difference between the two is what
00:04:14.268 --> 00:04:15.669
Between the two is what they're building their lives on.
00:04:15.736 --> 00:04:17.204
They're building their lives on. one is sand and one is the rock.
00:04:17.271 --> 00:04:19.807
One is sand and one is the rock. and it said that the one on sand
00:04:19.873 --> 00:04:21.975
And it said that the one on sand fell and it was a great fall.
00:04:22.042 --> 00:04:24.878
Fell and it was a great fall. the other one stood
00:04:24.945 --> 00:04:26.413
The other one stood through the extreme storm.
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:28.816
Through the extreme storm. you walk into a room like this
00:04:28.882 --> 00:04:30.684
You walk into a room like this in any of our campuses
00:04:30.751 --> 00:04:32.052
In any of our campuses or any home, you seldom
00:04:32.119 --> 00:04:35.756
Or any home, you seldom think of structure.
00:04:35.823 --> 00:04:37.324
Think of structure. you seldom think of foundation.
00:04:37.391 --> 00:04:39.426
You seldom think of foundation. it really doesn't matter to you.
00:04:39.493 --> 00:04:41.228
It really doesn't matter to you. you don't care about
00:04:41.295 --> 00:04:42.062
You don't care about what's under the cement,
00:04:42.129 --> 00:04:44.565
What's under the cement, the robar, rubar, the -- the --
00:04:44.631 --> 00:04:47.701
The robar, rubar, the -- the -- [laughter]
00:04:47.768 --> 00:04:48.769
[laughter] i'm not a builder, obviously.
00:04:48.836 --> 00:04:50.571
I'm not a builder, obviously. [laughter]
00:04:50.637 --> 00:04:51.405
[laughter] but you don't think
00:04:51.472 --> 00:04:52.539
But you don't think about all that stuff.
00:04:52.606 --> 00:04:54.641
About all that stuff. even this building,
00:04:54.708 --> 00:04:55.709
Even this building, there's steel, and stuff,
00:04:55.776 --> 00:04:57.378
There's steel, and stuff, and kinds of things
00:04:57.444 --> 00:04:59.380
And kinds of things that you can't see.
00:04:59.446 --> 00:05:00.914
That you can't see. it's the structure of
00:05:00.981 --> 00:05:02.282
It's the structure of the building that
00:05:02.349 --> 00:05:03.650
The building that makes it stand.
00:05:03.717 --> 00:05:06.787
Makes it stand. the amazing thing
00:05:06.854 --> 00:05:07.988
The amazing thing about storm shelters,
00:05:08.055 --> 00:05:10.124
About storm shelters, extreme storm shelters,
00:05:10.190 --> 00:05:12.726
Extreme storm shelters, is when they are giving
00:05:12.793 --> 00:05:15.062
Is when they are giving the way that they have
00:05:15.129 --> 00:05:16.897
The way that they have to be constructed,
00:05:16.964 --> 00:05:19.032
To be constructed, they're told not
00:05:19.099 --> 00:05:20.134
They're told not to use air nail guns.
00:05:20.200 --> 00:05:23.904
To use air nail guns. i thought that was interesting
00:05:23.971 --> 00:05:26.640
I thought that was interesting that when you're building
00:05:26.707 --> 00:05:29.042
That when you're building a hurricane shelter,
00:05:29.109 --> 00:05:30.711
A hurricane shelter, a shelter that must
00:05:30.778 --> 00:05:33.046
A shelter that must absolutely guarantee
00:05:33.113 --> 00:05:34.715
Absolutely guarantee that it's gonna be there,
00:05:34.782 --> 00:05:36.483
That it's gonna be there, it'll be there through terrible
00:05:36.550 --> 00:05:39.186
It'll be there through terrible storms and hell-force winds,
00:05:39.253 --> 00:05:42.656
Storms and hell-force winds, there's nothing wrong with
00:05:42.723 --> 00:05:43.624
There's nothing wrong with an air nail gun, a nail gun.
00:05:43.690 --> 00:05:46.126
An air nail gun, a nail gun. there's nothing wrong with it.
00:05:46.193 --> 00:05:47.161
There's nothing wrong with it. pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop,
00:05:47.227 --> 00:05:48.028
Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, and it's up quick.
00:05:48.095 --> 00:05:50.864
Pop, and it's up quick. i think it's a
00:05:50.931 --> 00:05:51.365
I think it's a brilliant invention.
00:05:51.432 --> 00:05:53.434
Brilliant invention. and that's good if you want --
00:05:53.500 --> 00:05:57.070
And that's good if you want -- if you want something for
00:05:57.137 --> 00:05:59.907
If you want something for 10 years, 20 years, 30 years.
00:05:59.973 --> 00:06:02.342
10 years, 20 years, 30 years. it might last 50 years
00:06:02.409 --> 00:06:04.912
It might last 50 years with a nail gun.
00:06:04.978 --> 00:06:06.180
With a nail gun. pop, pop, pop, pop, pop.
00:06:06.246 --> 00:06:07.481
Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. but if you're gonna build
00:06:07.548 --> 00:06:08.949
But if you're gonna build something that's gonna endure
00:06:09.016 --> 00:06:11.552
Something that's gonna endure the most extreme worst storms,
00:06:11.618 --> 00:06:15.556
The most extreme worst storms, you gotta go not with
00:06:15.622 --> 00:06:17.224
You gotta go not with the new modern tools
00:06:17.291 --> 00:06:18.659
The new modern tools that run on batteries,
00:06:18.725 --> 00:06:21.528
That run on batteries, but you gotta get
00:06:21.595 --> 00:06:22.663
But you gotta get the old hammer and nail out.
00:06:22.729 --> 00:06:26.066
The old hammer and nail out. it's pretty amazing.
00:06:26.133 --> 00:06:29.036
It's pretty amazing. the old method is
00:06:29.102 --> 00:06:30.637
The old method is the one that you wanna trust
00:06:30.704 --> 00:06:33.140
The one that you wanna trust when the storm comes,
00:06:33.207 --> 00:06:35.776
When the storm comes, when all hell is breaking loose.
00:06:35.843 --> 00:06:38.545
When all hell is breaking loose. i don't need to know that
00:06:38.612 --> 00:06:39.847
I don't need to know that my whole life is built
00:06:39.913 --> 00:06:41.148
My whole life is built on just a pop, pop, pop,
00:06:41.215 --> 00:06:43.450
On just a pop, pop, pop, of a little bit of religion.
00:06:43.517 --> 00:06:45.619
Of a little bit of religion. but i need that old hammer,
00:06:45.686 --> 00:06:46.687
But i need that old hammer, and that nail, and that cross.
00:06:46.753 --> 00:06:52.192
And that nail, and that cross. i need something that
00:06:52.259 --> 00:06:53.227
I need something that will outlast the storm.
00:06:53.293 --> 00:06:56.396
Will outlast the storm. if you're just building
00:06:56.463 --> 00:06:57.264
If you're just building a temporary church
00:06:57.331 --> 00:07:00.167
A temporary church pop, pop, pop, the latest,
00:07:00.234 --> 00:07:01.568
Pop, pop, pop, the latest, greatest whatever.
00:07:01.635 --> 00:07:03.504
Greatest whatever. but free chapel is not
00:07:03.570 --> 00:07:04.738
But free chapel is not a temporary church.
00:07:04.805 --> 00:07:05.772
A temporary church. [applause]
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:07.741
[applause] i am not a
00:07:07.808 --> 00:07:08.709
I am not a cutting-edge preacher.
00:07:08.775 --> 00:07:10.010
Cutting-edge preacher. [applause]
00:07:10.077 --> 00:07:11.745
[applause] and i'm not up here
00:07:11.812 --> 00:07:13.046
And i'm not up here trying to build a flyby,
00:07:13.113 --> 00:07:16.016
Trying to build a flyby, drive by church.
00:07:16.083 --> 00:07:18.285
Drive by church. i still believe
00:07:18.352 --> 00:07:19.253
I still believe the church is essential.
00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:21.722
The church is essential. i still believe that
00:07:21.788 --> 00:07:23.390
I still believe that without the church,
00:07:23.457 --> 00:07:26.193
Without the church, the nation goes to hell.
00:07:26.260 --> 00:07:28.662
The nation goes to hell. i still believe
00:07:28.729 --> 00:07:29.663
I still believe without the church,
00:07:29.730 --> 00:07:30.697
Without the church, the family disintegrates.
00:07:30.764 --> 00:07:33.233
The family disintegrates. i still believe
00:07:33.300 --> 00:07:34.401
I still believe without the church,
00:07:34.468 --> 00:07:36.303
Without the church, the gates of hell
00:07:36.370 --> 00:07:37.237
The gates of hell will prevail.
00:07:37.304 --> 00:07:39.540
Will prevail. and if you're just
00:07:39.606 --> 00:07:40.173
And if you're just building a temporary church,
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:41.909
Building a temporary church, and we've seen 'em
00:07:41.975 --> 00:07:42.543
And we've seen 'em pop, pop, pop, pop,
00:07:42.609 --> 00:07:43.710
Pop, pop, pop, pop, use the air gun
00:07:43.777 --> 00:07:45.279
Use the air gun and it'll be fine,
00:07:45.345 --> 00:07:46.446
And it'll be fine, and it'll last
00:07:46.513 --> 00:07:47.047
And it'll last for a little while,
00:07:47.114 --> 00:07:48.081
For a little while, and then like the tower
00:07:48.148 --> 00:07:48.949
And then like the tower of babel, it'll fall.
00:07:49.016 --> 00:07:51.585
Of babel, it'll fall. but we're not interested in
00:07:51.652 --> 00:07:52.586
But we're not interested in building that kind of church.
00:07:52.653 --> 00:07:56.823
Building that kind of church. if you're going to build
00:07:56.890 --> 00:07:58.525
If you're going to build a safe structure that will
00:07:58.592 --> 00:08:01.261
A safe structure that will withstand the storm,
00:08:01.328 --> 00:08:03.897
Withstand the storm, you don't need new gadgets,
00:08:03.964 --> 00:08:06.900
You don't need new gadgets, you don't need new methods.
00:08:06.967 --> 00:08:09.770
You don't need new methods. you need a hammer,
00:08:09.836 --> 00:08:11.672
You need a hammer, and you need a nail.
00:08:11.738 --> 00:08:14.675
And you need a nail. you need something that you
00:08:14.741 --> 00:08:17.978
You need something that you know will withstand the storm.
00:08:18.045 --> 00:08:22.816
Know will withstand the storm. i'm not building a garage.
00:08:22.883 --> 00:08:25.886
I'm not building a garage. i can't just have
00:08:25.953 --> 00:08:26.853
I can't just have pop, pop, pop, religion.
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:29.022
Pop, pop, pop, religion. just come on sunday, pop,
00:08:29.089 --> 00:08:30.490
Just come on sunday, pop, and that's it and i'm good.
00:08:30.557 --> 00:08:32.559
And that's it and i'm good. but it's the hammer
00:08:32.626 --> 00:08:33.160
But it's the hammer and the nail, because
00:08:33.226 --> 00:08:34.328
And the nail, because the carpenter's son, said,
00:08:34.394 --> 00:08:37.097
The carpenter's son, said, "i will build my church,"
00:08:37.164 --> 00:08:39.066
"i will build my church," in matthew 16.
00:08:39.132 --> 00:08:41.435
In matthew 16. "i will build my church
00:08:41.501 --> 00:08:42.903
"i will build my church and i'm not gon' use
00:08:42.970 --> 00:08:43.904
And i'm not gon' use a nail gun.
00:08:43.971 --> 00:08:46.206
A nail gun. i, god almighty,
00:08:46.273 --> 00:08:47.608
I, god almighty, i'm gonna come in
00:08:47.674 --> 00:08:48.642
I'm gonna come in a skin suit to planet earth."
00:08:48.709 --> 00:08:53.480
A skin suit to planet earth." the bible said, "jesus thought
00:08:53.547 --> 00:08:55.816
The bible said, "jesus thought it not robbery to be
00:08:55.882 --> 00:08:57.684
It not robbery to be equal with god."
00:08:57.751 --> 00:08:59.820
Equal with god." in other words --
00:08:59.886 --> 00:09:00.554
In other words -- and then it said,
00:09:00.621 --> 00:09:01.922
And then it said, "all of the godhead was in him.
00:09:01.989 --> 00:09:07.728
"all of the godhead was in him. all of god put on an earth suit.
00:09:07.794 --> 00:09:11.365
All of god put on an earth suit. and for 30 years,
00:09:11.431 --> 00:09:13.333
And for 30 years, he did not preach a sermon.
00:09:13.400 --> 00:09:16.003
He did not preach a sermon. he created the universe.
00:09:16.069 --> 00:09:18.705
He created the universe. he hung the world on nothing.
00:09:18.772 --> 00:09:21.341
He hung the world on nothing. he spoke the world
00:09:21.408 --> 00:09:22.442
He spoke the world into existence.
00:09:22.509 --> 00:09:23.677
Into existence. created man.
00:09:23.744 --> 00:09:25.245
Created man. but now, he's on planet earth
00:09:25.312 --> 00:09:27.681
But now, he's on planet earth in skin and flesh and blood.
00:09:27.748 --> 00:09:30.617
In skin and flesh and blood. jesus was one hundred percent
00:09:30.684 --> 00:09:33.854
Jesus was one hundred percent the out -- the flesh part
00:09:33.920 --> 00:09:35.155
The out -- the flesh part of jesus was 100% man.
00:09:35.222 --> 00:09:37.924
Of jesus was 100% man. the spirit part was 100% god.
00:09:37.991 --> 00:09:44.164
The spirit part was 100% god. and for 30 years,
00:09:44.231 --> 00:09:45.399
And for 30 years, he doesn't heal,
00:09:45.465 --> 00:09:46.400
He doesn't heal, he doesn't do anything, why?
00:09:46.466 --> 00:09:49.236
He doesn't do anything, why? because it's not a pop, pop,
00:09:49.302 --> 00:09:50.437
Because it's not a pop, pop, pop, nail gun deal
00:09:50.504 --> 00:09:51.938
Pop, nail gun deal he's building.
00:09:52.005 --> 00:09:56.476
He's building. and for three and a half years,
00:09:56.543 --> 00:09:58.545
And for three and a half years, he goes, and then he says,
00:09:58.612 --> 00:10:00.747
He goes, and then he says, "i'm gonna build me a church."
00:10:00.814 --> 00:10:03.817
"i'm gonna build me a church." and the devil didn't know
00:10:03.884 --> 00:10:05.252
And the devil didn't know that the thing that
00:10:05.318 --> 00:10:06.219
That the thing that he was gonna use was a hammer,
00:10:06.286 --> 00:10:09.089
He was gonna use was a hammer, three nails, and two beams
00:10:09.156 --> 00:10:11.091
Three nails, and two beams called a cross.
00:10:11.158 --> 00:10:12.726
Called a cross. [applause]
00:10:12.793 --> 00:10:13.694
[applause] and he said,
00:10:13.760 --> 00:10:14.094
And he said, "that will become the structure,
00:10:14.161 --> 00:10:18.298
"that will become the structure, that if you build your life on,
00:10:18.365 --> 00:10:20.100
That if you build your life on, if you flesh out your life,
00:10:20.167 --> 00:10:22.335
If you flesh out your life, as long as the foundation
00:10:22.402 --> 00:10:24.638
As long as the foundation and the structure of your life
00:10:24.705 --> 00:10:26.606
And the structure of your life is that cross and that hammer,
00:10:26.673 --> 00:10:29.142
Is that cross and that hammer, and those three rusty nails,
00:10:29.209 --> 00:10:31.278
And those three rusty nails, and the blood that i shed,
00:10:31.344 --> 00:10:33.313
And the blood that i shed, i promise you,
00:10:33.380 --> 00:10:34.347
I promise you, it's a storm shelter
00:10:34.414 --> 00:10:36.383
It's a storm shelter that will withstand
00:10:36.450 --> 00:10:38.051
That will withstand anything hell can bring
00:10:38.118 --> 00:10:40.654
Anything hell can bring against you and your family."
00:10:40.721 --> 00:10:42.155
Against you and your family." the bible put it
00:10:42.222 --> 00:10:42.756
The bible put it like this isaiah,
00:10:42.823 --> 00:10:44.091
Like this isaiah, "no weapon formed
00:10:44.157 --> 00:10:46.159
"no weapon formed against you shall prosper."
00:10:46.226 --> 00:10:49.062
Against you shall prosper." i want you to clap your hands
00:10:49.129 --> 00:10:50.397
I want you to clap your hands if you believe in the foundation
00:10:50.464 --> 00:10:53.500
If you believe in the foundation that is unshakable.
00:10:53.567 --> 00:10:54.835
That is unshakable. [applause]
00:10:54.901 --> 00:11:01.641
[applause] i want to hear, today,
00:11:01.708 --> 00:11:05.579
I want to hear, today, the words of jesus,
00:11:05.645 --> 00:11:07.714
The words of jesus, "i will build my church.
00:11:07.781 --> 00:11:09.416
"i will build my church. the gates of hell
00:11:09.483 --> 00:11:10.550
The gates of hell will not prevail."
00:11:10.617 --> 00:11:12.252
Will not prevail." the church is not
00:11:12.319 --> 00:11:13.019
The church is not these buildings.
00:11:13.086 --> 00:11:13.787
These buildings. the church is you.
00:11:13.854 --> 00:11:15.489
The church is you. the church is you
00:11:15.555 --> 00:11:16.289
The church is you and your marriage.
00:11:16.356 --> 00:11:17.324
And your marriage. the church is you
00:11:17.390 --> 00:11:17.991
The church is you and your family.
00:11:18.058 --> 00:11:19.159
And your family. the church is your children
00:11:19.226 --> 00:11:20.460
The church is your children and your grandchildren.
00:11:20.527 --> 00:11:21.795
And your grandchildren. "i will build my church
00:11:21.862 --> 00:11:23.730
"i will build my church with a hammer and a nail."
00:11:23.797 --> 00:11:26.299
With a hammer and a nail." the hammer and nail is sometimes
00:11:26.366 --> 00:11:27.734
The hammer and nail is sometimes you missed and it's bloody,
00:11:27.801 --> 00:11:29.169
You missed and it's bloody, and it's -- and it's hurtful,
00:11:29.236 --> 00:11:30.737
And it's -- and it's hurtful, and it's painful, and you're
00:11:30.804 --> 00:11:31.805
And it's painful, and you're suffering, and you're going
00:11:31.872 --> 00:11:33.340
Suffering, and you're going through long days and long
00:11:33.406 --> 00:11:35.075
Through long days and long nights and it's our --
00:11:35.142 --> 00:11:36.543
Nights and it's our -- and it's just exhausting.
00:11:36.610 --> 00:11:38.512
And it's just exhausting. but when god doesn't
00:11:38.578 --> 00:11:40.113
But when god doesn't give you the quick
00:11:40.180 --> 00:11:41.081
Give you the quick pop, pop, nail gun answer,
00:11:41.148 --> 00:11:43.617
Pop, pop, nail gun answer, know that he's building
00:11:43.683 --> 00:11:45.152
Know that he's building a structure in your
00:11:45.218 --> 00:11:46.753
A structure in your family for generations.
00:11:46.820 --> 00:11:48.955
Family for generations. this isn't a quick
00:11:49.022 --> 00:11:49.956
This isn't a quick throw up garage.
00:11:50.023 --> 00:11:51.224
Throw up garage. this is a generational blessing.
00:11:51.291 --> 00:11:53.794
This is a generational blessing. and every time you open up
00:11:53.860 --> 00:11:55.195
And every time you open up this book, you're using
00:11:55.262 --> 00:11:56.763
This book, you're using the hammer and the nail.
00:11:56.830 --> 00:11:58.231
The hammer and the nail. and every time you
00:11:58.298 --> 00:11:59.032
And every time you come to church,
00:11:59.099 --> 00:12:00.300
Come to church, it's not just to pop, pop,
00:12:00.367 --> 00:12:01.868
It's not just to pop, pop, but this is what we do.
00:12:01.935 --> 00:12:03.537
But this is what we do. this is who we are.
00:12:03.603 --> 00:12:04.805
This is who we are. this is what family
00:12:04.871 --> 00:12:06.239
This is what family is supposed to do,
00:12:06.306 --> 00:12:07.641
Is supposed to do, is bring your family
00:12:07.707 --> 00:12:09.376
Is bring your family and worship.
00:12:09.442 --> 00:12:10.510
And worship. you are building
00:12:10.577 --> 00:12:12.012
You are building an eternal house.
00:12:12.078 --> 00:12:17.083
An eternal house. "noah was commanded
00:12:17.150 --> 00:12:18.819
"noah was commanded by god to build an ark
00:12:18.885 --> 00:12:20.587
By god to build an ark for the saving of his family,"
00:12:20.654 --> 00:12:22.489
For the saving of his family," the text said.
00:12:22.556 --> 00:12:25.792
The text said. and it was not a nail air gun.
00:12:25.859 --> 00:12:30.230
And it was not a nail air gun. it was a hammer
00:12:30.297 --> 00:12:32.432
It was a hammer and nail approach.
00:12:32.499 --> 00:12:35.135
And nail approach. and it took him a hundred
00:12:35.202 --> 00:12:36.169
And it took him a hundred and twenty years.
00:12:36.236 --> 00:12:37.304
And twenty years. can you imagine the people
00:12:37.370 --> 00:12:38.738
Can you imagine the people who were making fun of him?
00:12:38.805 --> 00:12:40.340
Who were making fun of him? can you imagine the people
00:12:40.407 --> 00:12:41.575
Can you imagine the people who were saying, "how stupid.
00:12:41.641 --> 00:12:43.677
Who were saying, "how stupid. why do y'all still go to church?
00:12:43.743 --> 00:12:45.412
Why do y'all still go to church? why do you still pray?
00:12:45.478 --> 00:12:46.980
Why do you still pray? why do you still fast?
00:12:47.047 --> 00:12:48.682
Why do you still fast? why do you still
00:12:48.748 --> 00:12:49.382
Why do you still read the bible?"
00:12:49.449 --> 00:12:51.017
Read the bible?" i'm telling you,
00:12:51.084 --> 00:12:51.451
I'm telling you, we're living in that time
00:12:51.518 --> 00:12:53.253
We're living in that time where the little nail gun
00:12:53.320 --> 00:12:55.422
Where the little nail gun religion of just go to
00:12:55.488 --> 00:12:56.590
Religion of just go to church on easter and go

Your relationship with god. but what i am questioning is

But what i am questioning is how long can you sustain it
00:22:17.884 --> 00:22:19.452
How long can you sustain it as you make more, and more,
00:22:19.519 --> 00:22:20.753
As you make more, and more, and more, structural changes
00:22:20.820 --> 00:22:23.156
And more, structural changes about who you are
00:22:23.222 --> 00:22:24.457
About who you are and the convictions of what
00:22:24.524 --> 00:22:26.225

But unto him who is able to keep us from falling,
00:22:51.284 --> 00:22:52.552
To keep us from falling, if we stay connected
00:22:52.618 --> 00:22:53.886
If we stay connected to the skeleton, which is jesus,
00:22:53.953 --> 00:22:57.623
To the skeleton, which is jesus, the flesh may fail, but it'll
00:22:57.690 --> 00:22:59.959
The flesh may fail, but it'll always get back up
00:23:00.026 --> 00:23:04.096
Always get back up because the structure
00:23:04.163 --> 00:23:05.097
Because the structure and foundation is solid.

>> on october 7,
00:25:19.098 --> 00:25:20.032
Israel was attacked by
00:25:20.132 --> 00:25:21.000
The dark forces of hamas.
00:25:21.100 --> 00:25:22.501
It was the worst massacre
00:25:22.602 --> 00:25:23.803
The jewish people experienced
00:25:23.903 --> 00:25:25.104
Since the holocaust.
00:25:25.204 --> 00:25:26.606
The eshkol region
00:25:26.706 --> 00:25:27.406
In southern israel
00:25:27.506 --> 00:25:28.374
Was attacked directly.
00:25:28.474 --> 00:25:30.409
Women faced
00:25:30.509 --> 00:25:31.110
Unspeakable atrocities,
00:25:31.210 --> 00:25:33.412
Infants were assassinated,
00:25:33.512 --> 00:25:35.081
Numerous families
00:25:35.181 --> 00:25:35.848
Were burnt alive,
00:25:35.948 --> 00:25:37.083
And both mothers
00:25:37.183 --> 00:25:38.050
And their babies
00:25:38.150 --> 00:25:38.751
And holocaust survivors
00:25:38.851 --> 00:25:40.252
Were abducted to
00:25:40.353 --> 00:25:41.253
The hamas tunnels in gaza.
00:25:41.354 --> 00:25:43.356
And now we stand
00:25:43.456 --> 00:25:44.457
At a pivotal moment,
00:25:44.557 --> 00:25:45.925
Poised to provide a lifeline
00:25:46.025 --> 00:25:47.326
For the people of eshkol,
00:25:47.426 --> 00:25:49.528
Who continue to be attacked
00:25:49.629 --> 00:25:50.863
By terrorists every day.

Ever towards the initiative,
00:25:57.370 --> 00:25:59.071
Phase number one,
00:26:01.073 --> 00:26:01.841
Provides physical safety.
00:26:01.941 --> 00:26:03.709
That is why we are building
00:26:03.809 --> 00:26:04.877
Civil defense centers,
00:26:04.977 --> 00:26:06.445
And over 800 safe houses,

00:26:08.914 --> 00:26:10.483
In the region has a safe room,
00:26:10.583 --> 00:26:12.018
In case of terrorist attacks.
00:26:12.118 --> 00:26:13.252

We can be,
00:26:17.123 --> 00:26:18.090
And this safe room became
00:26:18.157 --> 00:26:20.059
Our little safe haven.
00:26:20.126 --> 00:26:21.160
It's something that
00:26:21.227 --> 00:26:22.795
Every single person
00:26:22.862 --> 00:26:23.729
In our area needs.
00:26:23.796 --> 00:26:24.864
I can't stress it enough
00:26:24.930 --> 00:26:26.265
That it saved our lives,
00:26:26.332 --> 00:26:27.833
