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.

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 --> 00:03:16.310
That's why in matthew 7 it talks about, there are only
00:03:16.377 --> 00:03:17.945
It talks about, there are only two foundations that people
00:03:18.012 --> 00:03:19.613
Two foundations that people build their homes
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:21.415
Build their homes and their lives on.
00:03:21.482 --> 00:03:22.416
And their lives on. he talks about building
00:03:22.483 --> 00:03:24.485
He talks about building your home on the rock.
00:03:24.551 --> 00:03:28.489
Your home on the rock. and he said,
00:03:28.555 --> 00:03:30.557
And he said, "and when the rain descended,
00:03:30.624 --> 00:03:32.960
"and when the rain descended, and the floods came,
00:03:33.027 --> 00:03:34.228
And the floods came, and the winds blew,
00:03:34.295 --> 00:03:34.962
And the winds blew, and beat on that house,
00:03:35.029 --> 00:03:36.263
And beat on that house, it didn't fall,
00:03:36.330 --> 00:03:37.798
It didn't fall, for it was founded,
00:03:37.865 --> 00:03:39.099
For it was founded, it was structured on the rock.
00:03:39.166 --> 00:03:43.170
It was structured on the rock. but to every one of these
00:03:43.237 --> 00:03:45.239
But to every one of these sayings of mine who hears it
00:03:45.306 --> 00:03:47.508
Sayings of mine who hears it and they don't do them,
00:03:47.574 --> 00:03:48.809
And they don't do them, they're like a fool who builds
00:03:48.876 --> 00:03:50.978
They're like a fool who builds their house on sand
00:03:51.045 --> 00:03:52.646
Their house on sand and the rain descended,
00:03:52.713 --> 00:03:53.947
And the rain descended, the floods came."
00:03:54.014 --> 00:03:55.282
The floods came." notice they go
00:03:55.349 --> 00:03:55.849
Notice they go through the same thing.
00:03:55.916 --> 00:03:58.886
Through the same thing. we're not immune.
00:03:58.952 --> 00:03:59.987
We're not immune. we don't -- we don't get a --
00:04:00.054 --> 00:04:01.555
We don't -- we don't get a -- get out of free --
00:04:01.622 --> 00:04:02.923
Get out of free -- get out of jail free,
00:04:02.990 --> 00:04:04.291
Get out of jail free, get out of pain free,
00:04:04.358 --> 00:04:05.526
Get out of pain free, get out of suffering free card
00:04:05.592 --> 00:04:09.296
Get out of suffering free card because we're christians.
00:04:09.363 --> 00:04:10.998
Because we're christians. we're gonna all go
00:04:11.065 --> 00:04:11.799
We're gonna all go through it in life.
00:04:11.865 --> 00:04:13.534
Through it in life. but the only difference
00:04:13.600 --> 00:04:14.702
But the only difference between the two is what
00:04:14.768 --> 00:04:16.170
Between the two is what they're building their lives on.
00:04:16.236 --> 00:04:17.705
They're building their lives on. one is sand and one is the rock.
00:04:17.771 --> 00:04:20.307
One is sand and one is the rock. and it said that the one on sand
00:04:20.374 --> 00:04:22.476
And it said that the one on sand fell and it was a great fall.
00:04:22.543 --> 00:04:25.379
Fell and it was a great fall. the other one stood
00:04:25.446 --> 00:04:26.914
The other one stood through the extreme storm.
00:04:26.980 --> 00:04:29.316
Through the extreme storm. you walk into a room like this
00:04:29.383 --> 00:04:31.185
You walk into a room like this in any of our campuses
00:04:31.251 --> 00:04:32.553
In any of our campuses or any home, you seldom
00:04:32.619 --> 00:04:36.256
Or any home, you seldom think of structure.
00:04:36.323 --> 00:04:37.825
Think of structure. you seldom think of foundation.
00:04:37.891 --> 00:04:39.927
You seldom think of foundation. it really doesn't matter to you.
00:04:39.993 --> 00:04:41.729
It really doesn't matter to you. you don't care about
00:04:41.795 --> 00:04:42.563
You don't care about what's under the cement,
00:04:42.629 --> 00:04:45.065
What's under the cement, the robar, rubar, the -- the --
00:04:45.132 --> 00:04:48.202
The robar, rubar, the -- the -- [laughter]
00:04:48.268 --> 00:04:49.269
[laughter] i'm not a builder, obviously.
00:04:49.336 --> 00:04:51.071
I'm not a builder, obviously. [laughter]
00:04:51.138 --> 00:04:51.905
[laughter] but you don't think
00:04:51.972 --> 00:04:53.040
But you don't think about all that stuff.
00:04:53.107 --> 00:04:55.142
About all that stuff. even this building,
00:04:55.209 --> 00:04:56.210
Even this building, there's steel, and stuff,
00:04:56.276 --> 00:04:57.878
There's steel, and stuff, and kinds of things
00:04:57.945 --> 00:04:59.880
And kinds of things that you can't see.
00:04:59.947 --> 00:05:01.415
That you can't see. it's the structure of
00:05:01.482 --> 00:05:02.783
It's the structure of the building that
00:05:02.850 --> 00:05:04.151
The building that makes it stand.
00:05:04.218 --> 00:05:07.287
Makes it stand. the amazing thing
00:05:07.354 --> 00:05:08.489
The amazing thing about storm shelters,
00:05:08.555 --> 00:05:10.624
About storm shelters, extreme storm shelters,
00:05:10.691 --> 00:05:13.227
Extreme storm shelters, is when they are giving
00:05:13.293 --> 00:05:15.562
Is when they are giving the way that they have
00:05:15.629 --> 00:05:17.398
The way that they have to be constructed,
00:05:17.464 --> 00:05:19.533
To be constructed, they're told not
00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:20.634
They're told not to use air nail guns.
00:05:20.701 --> 00:05:24.405
To use air nail guns. i thought that was interesting
00:05:24.471 --> 00:05:27.141
I thought that was interesting that when you're building
00:05:27.207 --> 00:05:29.543
That when you're building a hurricane shelter,
00:05:29.610 --> 00:05:31.211
A hurricane shelter, a shelter that must
00:05:31.278 --> 00:05:33.547
A shelter that must absolutely guarantee
00:05:33.614 --> 00:05:35.215
Absolutely guarantee that it's gonna be there,
00:05:35.282 --> 00:05:36.984
That it's gonna be there, it'll be there through terrible
00:05:37.050 --> 00:05:39.686
It'll be there through terrible storms and hell-force winds,
00:05:39.753 --> 00:05:43.157
Storms and hell-force winds, there's nothing wrong with
00:05:43.223 --> 00:05:44.124
There's nothing wrong with an air nail gun, a nail gun.
00:05:44.191 --> 00:05:46.627
An air nail gun, a nail gun. there's nothing wrong with it.
00:05:46.693 --> 00:05:47.661
There's nothing wrong with it. pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop,
00:05:47.728 --> 00:05:48.529
Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, and it's up quick.
00:05:48.595 --> 00:05:51.365
Pop, and it's up quick. i think it's a
00:05:51.432 --> 00:05:51.865
I think it's a brilliant invention.
00:05:51.932 --> 00:05:53.934
Brilliant invention. and that's good if you want --
00:05:54.001 --> 00:05:57.571
And that's good if you want -- if you want something for
00:05:57.638 --> 00:06:00.407
If you want something for 10 years, 20 years, 30 years.
00:06:00.474 --> 00:06:02.843
10 years, 20 years, 30 years. it might last 50 years
00:06:02.910 --> 00:06:05.412
It might last 50 years with a nail gun.
00:06:05.479 --> 00:06:06.680
With a nail gun. pop, pop, pop, pop, pop.
00:06:06.747 --> 00:06:07.981
Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. but if you're gonna build
00:06:08.048 --> 00:06:09.450
But if you're gonna build something that's gonna endure
00:06:09.516 --> 00:06:12.052
Something that's gonna endure the most extreme worst storms,
00:06:12.119 --> 00:06:16.056
The most extreme worst storms, you gotta go not with
00:06:16.123 --> 00:06:17.724
You gotta go not with the new modern tools
00:06:17.791 --> 00:06:19.159
The new modern tools that run on batteries,
00:06:19.226 --> 00:06:22.029
That run on batteries, but you gotta get
00:06:22.095 --> 00:06:23.163
But you gotta get the old hammer and nail out.
00:06:23.230 --> 00:06:26.567
The old hammer and nail out. it's pretty amazing.
00:06:26.633 --> 00:06:29.536
It's pretty amazing. the old method is
00:06:29.603 --> 00:06:31.138
The old method is the one that you wanna trust
00:06:31.205 --> 00:06:33.640
The one that you wanna trust when the storm comes,
00:06:33.707 --> 00:06:36.276
When the storm comes, when all hell is breaking loose.
00:06:36.343 --> 00:06:39.046
When all hell is breaking loose. i don't need to know that
00:06:39.112 --> 00:06:40.347
I don't need to know that my whole life is built
00:06:40.414 --> 00:06:41.648
My whole life is built on just a pop, pop, pop,
00:06:41.715 --> 00:06:43.951
On just a pop, pop, pop, of a little bit of religion.
00:06:44.017 --> 00:06:46.119
Of a little bit of religion. but i need that old hammer,
00:06:46.186 --> 00:06:47.187
But i need that old hammer, and that nail, and that cross.
00:06:47.254 --> 00:06:52.693
And that nail, and that cross. i need something that
00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:53.727
I need something that will outlast the storm.
00:06:53.794 --> 00:06:56.897
Will outlast the storm. if you're just building
00:06:56.964 --> 00:06:57.764
If you're just building a temporary church
00:06:57.831 --> 00:07:00.667
A temporary church pop, pop, pop, the latest,
00:07:00.734 --> 00:07:02.069
Pop, pop, pop, the latest, greatest whatever.
00:07:02.135 --> 00:07:04.004
Greatest whatever. but free chapel is not
00:07:04.071 --> 00:07:05.239
But free chapel is not a temporary church.
00:07:05.305 --> 00:07:06.273
A temporary church. [applause]
00:07:06.340 --> 00:07:08.242
[applause] i am not a
00:07:08.308 --> 00:07:09.209
I am not a cutting-edge preacher.
00:07:09.276 --> 00:07:10.511
Cutting-edge preacher. [applause]
00:07:10.577 --> 00:07:12.246
[applause] and i'm not up here
00:07:12.312 --> 00:07:13.547
And i'm not up here trying to build a flyby,
00:07:13.614 --> 00:07:16.517
Trying to build a flyby, drive by church.
00:07:16.583 --> 00:07:18.785
Drive by church. i still believe
00:07:18.852 --> 00:07:19.753
I still believe the church is essential.
00:07:19.820 --> 00:07:22.222
The church is essential. i still believe that
00:07:22.289 --> 00:07:23.891
I still believe that without the church,
00:07:23.957 --> 00:07:26.693
Without the church, the nation goes to hell.
00:07:26.760 --> 00:07:29.162
The nation goes to hell. i still believe
00:07:29.229 --> 00:07:30.163
I still believe without the church,
00:07:30.230 --> 00:07:31.198
Without the church, the family disintegrates.
00:07:31.265 --> 00:07:33.734
The family disintegrates. i still believe
00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:34.902
I still believe without the church,
00:07:34.968 --> 00:07:36.803
Without the church, the gates of hell
00:07:36.870 --> 00:07:37.738
The gates of hell will prevail.
00:07:37.804 --> 00:07:40.040
Will prevail. and if you're just
00:07:40.107 --> 00:07:40.674
And if you're just building a temporary church,
00:07:40.741 --> 00:07:42.409
Building a temporary church, and we've seen 'em
00:07:42.476 --> 00:07:43.043
And we've seen 'em pop, pop, pop, pop,
00:07:43.110 --> 00:07:44.211
Pop, pop, pop, pop, use the air gun
00:07:44.278 --> 00:07:45.779
Use the air gun and it'll be fine,
00:07:45.846 --> 00:07:46.947
And it'll be fine, and it'll last
00:07:47.014 --> 00:07:47.548
And it'll last for a little while,
00:07:47.614 --> 00:07:48.582
For a little while, and then like the tower
00:07:48.649 --> 00:07:49.449
And then like the tower of babel, it'll fall.
00:07:49.516 --> 00:07:52.085
Of babel, it'll fall. but we're not interested in
00:07:52.152 --> 00:07:53.086
But we're not interested in building that kind of church.
00:07:53.153 --> 00:07:57.324
Building that kind of church. if you're going to build
00:07:57.391 --> 00:07:59.026
If you're going to build a safe structure that will
00:07:59.092 --> 00:08:01.762
A safe structure that will withstand the storm,
00:08:01.828 --> 00:08:04.398
Withstand the storm, you don't need new gadgets,
00:08:04.464 --> 00:08:07.401
You don't need new gadgets, you don't need new methods.
00:08:07.467 --> 00:08:10.270
You don't need new methods. you need a hammer,
00:08:10.337 --> 00:08:12.172
You need a hammer, and you need a nail.
00:08:12.239 --> 00:08:15.175
And you need a nail. you need something that you
00:08:15.242 --> 00:08:18.478
You need something that you know will withstand the storm.
00:08:18.545 --> 00:08:23.317
Know will withstand the storm. i'm not building a garage.
00:08:23.383 --> 00:08:26.386
I'm not building a garage. i can't just have
00:08:26.453 --> 00:08:27.354
I can't just have pop, pop, pop, religion.
00:08:27.421 --> 00:08:29.523
Pop, pop, pop, religion. just come on sunday, pop,
00:08:29.590 --> 00:08:30.991
Just come on sunday, pop, and that's it and i'm good.
00:08:31.058 --> 00:08:33.060
And that's it and i'm good. but it's the hammer
00:08:33.126 --> 00:08:33.660
But it's the hammer and the nail, because
00:08:33.727 --> 00:08:34.828
And the nail, because the carpenter's son, said,
00:08:34.895 --> 00:08:37.598
The carpenter's son, said, "i will build my church,"
00:08:37.664 --> 00:08:39.566
"i will build my church," in matthew 16.
00:08:39.633 --> 00:08:41.935
In matthew 16. "i will build my church
00:08:42.002 --> 00:08:43.403
"i will build my church and i'm not gon' use
00:08:43.470 --> 00:08:44.404
And i'm not gon' use a nail gun.
00:08:44.471 --> 00:08:46.707
A nail gun. i, god almighty,
00:08:46.773 --> 00:08:48.108
I, god almighty, i'm gonna come in
00:08:48.175 --> 00:08:49.142
I'm gonna come in a skin suit to planet earth."
00:08:49.209 --> 00:08:53.981
A skin suit to planet earth." the bible said, "jesus thought
00:08:54.047 --> 00:08:56.316
The bible said, "jesus thought it not robbery to be
00:08:56.383 --> 00:08:58.185
It not robbery to be equal with god."
00:08:58.251 --> 00:09:00.320
Equal with god." in other words --
00:09:00.387 --> 00:09:01.054
In other words -- and then it said,
00:09:01.121 --> 00:09:02.422
And then it said, "all of the godhead was in him.
00:09:02.489 --> 00:09:08.228
"all of the godhead was in him. all of god put on an earth suit.
00:09:08.295 --> 00:09:11.865
All of god put on an earth suit. and for 30 years,
00:09:11.932 --> 00:09:13.834
And for 30 years, he did not preach a sermon.
00:09:13.900 --> 00:09:16.503
He did not preach a sermon. he created the universe.
00:09:16.570 --> 00:09:19.206
He created the universe. he hung the world on nothing.
00:09:19.272 --> 00:09:21.842
He hung the world on nothing. he spoke the world
00:09:21.908 --> 00:09:22.943
He spoke the world into existence.
00:09:23.010 --> 00:09:24.177
Into existence. created man.
00:09:24.244 --> 00:09:25.746
Created man. but now, he's on planet earth
00:09:25.812 --> 00:09:28.181
But now, he's on planet earth in skin and flesh and blood.
00:09:28.248 --> 00:09:31.118
In skin and flesh and blood. jesus was one hundred percent
00:09:31.184 --> 00:09:34.354
Jesus was one hundred percent the out -- the flesh part
00:09:34.421 --> 00:09:35.656
The out -- the flesh part of jesus was 100% man.
00:09:35.722 --> 00:09:38.425
Of jesus was 100% man. the spirit part was 100% god.
00:09:38.492 --> 00:09:44.665
The spirit part was 100% god. and for 30 years,
00:09:44.731 --> 00:09:45.899
And for 30 years, he doesn't heal,
00:09:45.966 --> 00:09:46.900
He doesn't heal, he doesn't do anything, why?
00:09:46.967 --> 00:09:49.736
He doesn't do anything, why? because it's not a pop, pop,
00:09:49.803 --> 00:09:50.937
Because it's not a pop, pop, pop, nail gun deal
00:09:51.004 --> 00:09:52.439
Pop, nail gun deal he's building.
00:09:52.506 --> 00:09:56.977
He's building. and for three and a half years,
00:09:57.044 --> 00:09:59.046
And for three and a half years, he goes, and then he says,
00:09:59.112 --> 00:10:01.248
He goes, and then he says, "i'm gonna build me a church."
00:10:01.314 --> 00:10:04.317
"i'm gonna build me a church." and the devil didn't know
00:10:04.384 --> 00:10:05.752
And the devil didn't know that the thing that
00:10:05.819 --> 00:10:06.720
That the thing that he was gonna use was a hammer,
00:10:06.787 --> 00:10:09.589
He was gonna use was a hammer, three nails, and two beams
00:10:09.656 --> 00:10:11.591
Three nails, and two beams called a cross.
00:10:11.658 --> 00:10:13.226
Called a cross. [applause]
00:10:13.293 --> 00:10:14.194
[applause] and he said,
00:10:14.261 --> 00:10:14.594
And he said, "that will become the structure,
00:10:14.661 --> 00:10:18.799
"that will become the structure, that if you build your life on,
00:10:18.865 --> 00:10:20.600
That if you build your life on, if you flesh out your life,
00:10:20.667 --> 00:10:22.836
If you flesh out your life, as long as the foundation
00:10:22.903 --> 00:10:25.138
As long as the foundation and the structure of your life
00:10:25.205 --> 00:10:27.107
And the structure of your life is that cross and that hammer,
00:10:27.174 --> 00:10:29.643
Is that cross and that hammer, and those three rusty nails,
00:10:29.710 --> 00:10:31.778
And those three rusty nails, and the blood that i shed,
00:10:31.845 --> 00:10:33.814
And the blood that i shed, i promise you,
00:10:33.880 --> 00:10:34.848
I promise you, it's a storm shelter
00:10:34.915 --> 00:10:36.883
It's a storm shelter that will withstand
00:10:36.950 --> 00:10:38.552
That will withstand anything hell can bring
00:10:38.618 --> 00:10:41.154
Anything hell can bring against you and your family."
00:10:41.221 --> 00:10:42.656
Against you and your family." the bible put it
00:10:42.723 --> 00:10:43.256
The bible put it like this isaiah,
00:10:43.323 --> 00:10:44.591
Like this isaiah, "no weapon formed
00:10:44.658 --> 00:10:46.660
"no weapon formed against you shall prosper."
00:10:46.727 --> 00:10:49.563
Against you shall prosper." i want you to clap your hands
00:10:49.629 --> 00:10:50.897
I want you to clap your hands if you believe in the foundation
00:10:50.964 --> 00:10:54.000
If you believe in the foundation that is unshakable.
00:10:54.067 --> 00:10:55.335
That is unshakable. [applause]
00:10:55.402 --> 00:11:02.142
[applause] i want to hear, today,
00:11:02.209 --> 00:11:06.079
I want to hear, today, the words of jesus,
00:11:06.146 --> 00:11:08.215
The words of jesus, "i will build my church.
00:11:08.281 --> 00:11:09.916
"i will build my church. the gates of hell
00:11:09.983 --> 00:11:11.051
The gates of hell will not prevail."
00:11:11.118 --> 00:11:12.753
Will not prevail." the church is not
00:11:12.819 --> 00:11:13.520
The church is not these buildings.
00:11:13.587 --> 00:11:14.287
These buildings. the church is you.
00:11:14.354 --> 00:11:15.989
The church is you. the church is you
00:11:16.056 --> 00:11:16.790
The church is you and your marriage.
00:11:16.857 --> 00:11:17.824
And your marriage. the church is you
00:11:17.891 --> 00:11:18.492
The church is you and your family.
00:11:18.558 --> 00:11:19.659
And your family. the church is your children
00:11:19.726 --> 00:11:20.961
The church is your children and your grandchildren.
00:11:21.027 --> 00:11:22.295
And your grandchildren. "i will build my church
00:11:22.362 --> 00:11:24.231
"i will build my church with a hammer and a nail."
00:11:24.297 --> 00:11:26.800
With a hammer and a nail." the hammer and nail is sometimes
00:11:26.867 --> 00:11:28.235
The hammer and nail is sometimes you missed and it's bloody,
00:11:28.301 --> 00:11:29.669
You missed and it's bloody, and it's -- and it's hurtful,
00:11:29.736 --> 00:11:31.238
And it's -- and it's hurtful, and it's painful, and you're
00:11:31.304 --> 00:11:32.305
And it's painful, and you're suffering, and you're going
00:11:32.372 --> 00:11:33.840
Suffering, and you're going through long days and long
00:11:33.907 --> 00:11:35.575
Through long days and long nights and it's our --
00:11:35.642 --> 00:11:37.043
Nights and it's our -- and it's just exhausting.
00:11:37.110 --> 00:11:39.012
And it's just exhausting. but when god doesn't
00:11:39.079 --> 00:11:40.614
But when god doesn't give you the quick
00:11:40.680 --> 00:11:41.581
Give you the quick pop, pop, nail gun answer,
00:11:41.648 --> 00:11:44.117
Pop, pop, nail gun answer, know that he's building
00:11:44.184 --> 00:11:45.652
Know that he's building a structure in your
00:11:45.719 --> 00:11:47.254
A structure in your family for generations.
00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:49.456
Family for generations. this isn't a quick
00:11:49.523 --> 00:11:50.457
This isn't a quick throw up garage.
00:11:50.524 --> 00:11:51.725
Throw up garage. this is a generational blessing.
00:11:51.792 --> 00:11:54.294
This is a generational blessing. and every time you open up
00:11:54.361 --> 00:11:55.695
And every time you open up this book, you're using
00:11:55.762 --> 00:11:57.264
This book, you're using the hammer and the nail.
00:11:57.330 --> 00:11:58.732
The hammer and the nail. and every time you
00:11:58.799 --> 00:11:59.533
And every time you come to church,
00:11:59.599 --> 00:12:00.801
Come to church, it's not just to pop, pop,
00:12:00.867 --> 00:12:02.369
It's not just to pop, pop, but this is what we do.
00:12:02.435 --> 00:12:04.037
But this is what we do. this is who we are.
00:12:04.104 --> 00:12:05.305
This is who we are. this is what family
00:12:05.372 --> 00:12:06.740
This is what family is supposed to do,
00:12:06.807 --> 00:12:08.141
Is supposed to do, is bring your family
00:12:08.208 --> 00:12:09.876
Is bring your family and worship.
00:12:09.943 --> 00:12:11.011
And worship. you are building
00:12:11.077 --> 00:12:12.512
You are building an eternal house.
00:12:12.579 --> 00:12:17.584
An eternal house. "noah was commanded
00:12:17.651 --> 00:12:19.319
"noah was commanded by god to build an ark
00:12:19.386 --> 00:12:21.087
By god to build an ark for the saving of his family,"
00:12:21.154 --> 00:12:22.989
For the saving of his family," the text said.
00:12:23.056 --> 00:12:26.293
The text said. and it was not a nail air gun.
00:12:26.359 --> 00:12:30.730
And it was not a nail air gun. it was a hammer
00:12:30.797 --> 00:12:32.933
It was a hammer and nail approach.
00:12:32.999 --> 00:12:35.635
And nail approach. and it took him a hundred
00:12:35.702 --> 00:12:36.670
And it took him a hundred and twenty years.
00:12:36.736 --> 00:12:37.804
And twenty years. can you imagine the people
00:12:37.871 --> 00:12:39.239
Can you imagine the people who were making fun of him?
00:12:39.306 --> 00:12:40.841
Who were making fun of him? can you imagine the people
00:12:40.907 --> 00:12:42.075
Can you imagine the people who were saying, "how stupid.
00:12:42.142 --> 00:12:44.177
Who were saying, "how stupid. why do y'all still go to church?
00:12:44.244 --> 00:12:45.912
Why do y'all still go to church? why do you still pray?
00:12:45.979 --> 00:12:47.480
Why do you still pray? why do you still fast?
00:12:47.547 --> 00:12:49.182
Why do you still fast? why do you still
00:12:49.249 --> 00:12:49.883
Why do you still read the bible?"
00:12:49.950 --> 00:12:51.518
Read the bible?" i'm telling you,
00:12:51.585 --> 00:12:51.952
I'm telling you, we're living in that time
00:12:52.018 --> 00:12:53.753
We're living in that time where the little nail gun
00:12:53.820 --> 00:12:55.922
Where the little nail gun religion of just go to
00:12:55.989 --> 00:12:57.090
Religion of just go to church on easter and go

With the wrong friends? you still can come to church
00:22:10.243 --> 00:22:11.577
You still can come to church and feel god's presence and you
00:22:11.644 --> 00:22:13.045
And feel god's presence and you still -- i'm not questioning
00:22:13.112 --> 00:22:14.947
Still -- i'm not questioning your relationship with god.
00:22:15.014 --> 00:22:16.516
Your relationship with god. but what i am questioning is
00:22:16.582 --> 00:22:18.317
But what i am questioning is how long can you sustain it
00:22:18.384 --> 00:22:19.952
How long can you sustain it as you make more, and more,
00:22:20.019 --> 00:22:21.254
As you make more, and more, and more, structural changes
00:22:21.320 --> 00:22:23.656
And more, structural changes about who you are
00:22:23.723 --> 00:22:24.957
About who you are and the convictions of what
00:22:25.024 --> 00:22:26.726

Anybody can fall. but unto him who is able
00:22:49.649 --> 00:22:51.717
But unto him who is able to keep us from falling,
00:22:51.784 --> 00:22:53.052
To keep us from falling, if we stay connected
00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:54.387
If we stay connected to the skeleton, which is jesus,
00:22:54.454 --> 00:22:58.124
To the skeleton, which is jesus, the flesh may fail, but it'll
00:22:58.191 --> 00:23:00.460
The flesh may fail, but it'll always get back up
00:23:00.526 --> 00:23:04.597
Always get back up because the structure
00:23:04.664 --> 00:23:05.598
Because the structure and foundation is solid.
