Who are silently asking the same question,
00:04:24.927 --> 00:04:25.795
The same question, but may be afraid to say
00:04:25.862 --> 00:04:26.929
But may be afraid to say it because it makes them sound
00:04:26.996 --> 00:04:28.197
It because it makes them sound like rookies or complainers.
00:04:28.264 --> 00:04:33.069

00:05:32.929 --> 00:05:33.629
And you still haven't learned everything that you
00:05:33.696 --> 00:05:35.098
Everything that you think you need to know?
00:05:35.164 --> 00:05:36.766
Think you need to know? good, anyway,
00:05:36.833 --> 00:05:37.900
Good, anyway, it just reminded me
00:05:37.967 --> 00:05:39.469
It just reminded me from when they were
00:05:39.535 --> 00:05:40.737
From when they were bringing this out,
00:05:40.803 --> 00:05:41.804
Bringing this out, when the ipad first came out,
00:05:41.871 --> 00:05:44.006
When the ipad first came out, before you were born.
00:05:44.073 --> 00:05:45.408
Before you were born. when the ipad was just a --
00:05:45.475 --> 00:05:47.744
When the ipad was just a -- an arrow in the quiver
00:05:47.810 --> 00:05:48.511
An arrow in the quiver of steve jobs,
00:05:48.578 --> 00:05:51.047
Of steve jobs, i remember how excited
00:05:51.114 --> 00:05:51.714
I remember how excited i was to have my first ipad,
00:05:51.781 --> 00:05:52.715
I was to have my first ipad, i was flying
00:05:52.782 --> 00:05:53.316
I was flying somewhere to preach
00:05:53.383 --> 00:05:53.883
Somewhere to preach and i had the ipad out
00:05:53.950 --> 00:05:54.684
And i had the ipad out because i wanted to preach
00:05:54.751 --> 00:05:55.518
Because i wanted to preach from my ipad for the first
00:05:55.585 --> 00:05:56.552
From my ipad for the first time and i was excited.
00:05:56.619 --> 00:05:57.920
Time and i was excited. and this guy next to me
00:05:57.987 --> 00:05:58.688
And this guy next to me on the plane,
00:05:58.755 --> 00:05:59.689
On the plane, i'm not judging,
00:05:59.756 --> 00:06:00.390
I'm not judging, but he looked kinda nerdy,
00:06:00.456 --> 00:06:01.324
But he looked kinda nerdy, he looked like a guy
00:06:01.391 --> 00:06:01.958
He looked like a guy who knew a lot about technology.
00:06:02.024 --> 00:06:03.993
Who knew a lot about technology. is that a better way to say it?
00:06:04.060 --> 00:06:06.095
Is that a better way to say it? he looked very techy.
00:06:06.162 --> 00:06:07.663
He looked very techy. he looked like a nerd.
00:06:07.730 --> 00:06:08.698
He looked like a nerd. and he looked at my ipad,
00:06:08.765 --> 00:06:11.234
And he looked at my ipad, and he started to lust,
00:06:11.300 --> 00:06:12.101
And he started to lust, and he was like,
00:06:12.168 --> 00:06:13.903
And he was like, "how do you like it?"
00:06:13.970 --> 00:06:15.505
"how do you like it?" 'cause at time, it was
00:06:15.571 --> 00:06:16.406
'cause at time, it was relatively new technology.
00:06:16.472 --> 00:06:18.908
Relatively new technology. and i said, "i love it.
00:06:18.975 --> 00:06:20.810
And i said, "i love it. i just got it, it's great."
00:06:20.877 --> 00:06:22.678
I just got it, it's great." and he goes,
00:06:22.745 --> 00:06:24.013
And he goes, "what do you do on it?"
00:06:24.080 --> 00:06:24.881
[laughter]
00:06:25.148 --> 00:06:28.017
I said, "like i said,
00:06:28.384 --> 00:06:29.018
I said, "like i said, i just got it, but i mean,
00:06:29.085 --> 00:06:30.686
I just got it, but i mean, so far, i'm a preacher,
00:06:30.753 --> 00:06:33.089
So far, i'm a preacher, so i'm putting my bible notes
00:06:33.156 --> 00:06:34.757
So i'm putting my bible notes on here for my sermon,
00:06:34.824 --> 00:06:36.259
On here for my sermon, and play,
00:06:36.325 --> 00:06:38.928
And play, "angry birds" on it
00:06:38.995 --> 00:06:39.929
"angry birds" on it with my five year old.
00:06:39.996 --> 00:06:41.063
With my five year old. "fruit ninja".
00:06:41.130 --> 00:06:42.865
"fruit ninja". so, all of a sudden,
00:06:42.932 --> 00:06:43.666
So, all of a sudden, his facial expression changed,
00:06:43.733 --> 00:06:44.867
His facial expression changed, i watched it,
00:06:44.934 --> 00:06:45.468
I watched it, he went from excited
00:06:45.535 --> 00:06:46.903
He went from excited to disgusted, shook his head.
00:06:46.969 --> 00:06:50.907
To disgusted, shook his head. and he looks back at me,
00:06:50.973 --> 00:06:51.674
And he looks back at me, i'll never forget what he said,
00:06:51.741 --> 00:06:53.609
I'll never forget what he said, this has been
00:06:53.676 --> 00:06:54.243
This has been over a decade ago,
00:06:54.310 --> 00:06:54.944
Over a decade ago, and i remember exactly
00:06:55.011 --> 00:06:55.478
And i remember exactly what he said,
00:06:55.545 --> 00:06:56.879
What he said, "you are using that device far
00:06:56.946 --> 00:07:00.616
"you are using that device far beneath its full potential."
00:07:00.683 --> 00:07:01.517
[laughter]
00:07:02.051 --> 00:07:04.053
And he didn't wanna talk
00:07:04.287 --> 00:07:04.887
And he didn't wanna talk the rest of the flight.
00:07:04.954 --> 00:07:05.455
[laughter]
00:07:05.888 --> 00:07:07.523
It was absolute anathema to him;
00:07:07.990 --> 00:07:10.626
It was absolute anathema to him; the curse of lucifer himself
00:07:10.693 --> 00:07:13.963
The curse of lucifer himself to be sitting next
00:07:14.030 --> 00:07:14.764
To somebody on a plane,
00:07:14.864 --> 00:07:16.098
To somebody on a plane, who had something so powerful,
00:07:16.165 --> 00:07:19.402
Who had something so powerful, who had something
00:07:19.469 --> 00:07:20.069
Who had something with so much potential,
00:07:20.136 --> 00:07:22.672
With so much potential, and here i am putting
00:07:22.738 --> 00:07:25.508
And here i am putting a slingshot at some birds
00:07:25.575 --> 00:07:27.710
A slingshot at some birds and a sword on some watermelons.
00:07:27.777 --> 00:07:30.046
And a sword on some watermelons. and he looked at it and said,
00:07:30.112 --> 00:07:31.814
And he looked at it and said, "oh, i wish i could get my hands
00:07:31.881 --> 00:07:33.049
"oh, i wish i could get my hands on that ipad.
00:07:33.115 --> 00:07:35.117
On that ipad. you got more money than
00:07:35.184 --> 00:07:36.185
You got more money than you do good sense
00:07:36.252 --> 00:07:37.987
You do good sense if that's all you're
00:07:38.054 --> 00:07:38.588
If that's all you're doing with that ipad."
00:07:38.654 --> 00:07:40.556
Doing with that ipad." do you know what i could
00:07:40.623 --> 00:07:41.390
Do you know what i could do with that ipad?
00:07:41.457 --> 00:07:43.593
Do with that ipad? i could cure cancer
00:07:43.659 --> 00:07:45.828
I could cure cancer with that ipad."
00:07:45.895 --> 00:07:48.631
With that ipad." and i guess he could,
00:07:48.698 --> 00:07:49.398
And i guess he could, we didn't speak
00:07:49.465 --> 00:07:50.032
We didn't speak the rest of the time.
00:07:50.099 --> 00:07:50.700
The rest of the time. i should've asked him --
00:07:50.766 --> 00:07:52.335
I should've asked him -- i should've asked him,
00:07:52.401 --> 00:07:53.769
I should've asked him, "well, what will it do?"
00:07:53.836 --> 00:07:57.073
"well, what will it do?" i should've asked him,
00:07:57.139 --> 00:07:58.608
I should've asked him, but i felt kinda embarrassed
00:07:58.674 --> 00:07:59.709
But i felt kinda embarrassed at that point to be sitting
00:07:59.775 --> 00:08:01.210
At that point to be sitting with something that
00:08:01.277 --> 00:08:02.745
With something that was so amazing
00:08:02.812 --> 00:08:04.480
Was so amazing and i knew it was amazing,
00:08:04.547 --> 00:08:06.849
And i knew it was amazing, but to be so limited
00:08:06.916 --> 00:08:08.150
But to be so limited in my ability to access
00:08:08.217 --> 00:08:09.619
In my ability to access the potential of something
00:08:09.685 --> 00:08:11.087
The potential of something that was so powerful,
00:08:11.153 --> 00:08:13.456
That was so powerful, and to not know how.
00:08:13.523 --> 00:08:15.858
And to not know how. i should've asked him.
00:08:15.925 --> 00:08:16.359
I should've asked him. he said,
00:08:16.425 --> 00:08:17.226
He said, "you are using --
00:08:17.293 --> 00:08:18.294
"you are using -- he lectured me.
00:08:18.361 --> 00:08:20.730
He lectured me. the class i didn't ask for.
00:08:20.796 --> 00:08:22.832
The class i didn't ask for. "you are using that device."
00:08:22.899 --> 00:08:24.634
"you are using that device." i wonder if god ever looks
00:08:24.700 --> 00:08:26.335
I wonder if god ever looks at what he made --
00:08:26.402 --> 00:08:30.139
At what he made -- y'all can help preach anytime,
00:08:30.206 --> 00:08:32.308
Y'all can help preach anytime, don't go episcopalian on me my
00:08:32.375 --> 00:08:34.176
Don't go episcopalian on me my first sunday of my new
00:08:34.243 --> 00:08:35.411
First sunday of my new book series.
00:08:35.478 --> 00:08:36.679
Book series. i wonder if god ever looks at
00:08:36.746 --> 00:08:38.948
I wonder if god ever looks at what is in your spirit?
00:08:39.015 --> 00:08:41.817
What is in your spirit? if god ever looks at the gifts
00:08:41.884 --> 00:08:44.020
If god ever looks at the gifts that are in seed form
00:08:44.086 --> 00:08:45.555
That are in seed form in the soil of you?
00:08:45.621 --> 00:08:47.256
In the soil of you? i wonder if god ever looks at
00:08:47.323 --> 00:08:49.125
I wonder if god ever looks at the hand you've been dealt,
00:08:49.191 --> 00:08:51.060
The hand you've been dealt, and the skillful hands
00:08:51.127 --> 00:08:52.428
And the skillful hands you've been given,
00:08:52.495 --> 00:08:53.563
You've been given, and the opportunities
00:08:53.629 --> 00:08:54.830
And the opportunities and the open doors,
00:08:54.897 --> 00:08:55.998
And the open doors, and the amazing ways
00:08:56.065 --> 00:08:57.400
And the amazing ways that he has made for you,
00:08:57.466 --> 00:08:58.968
That he has made for you, and the amazing personality that
00:08:59.035 --> 00:09:00.636
And the amazing personality that he has endowed you on that you
00:09:00.703 --> 00:09:02.238
He has endowed you on that you apologize for because it wasn't
00:09:02.305 --> 00:09:03.873
Apologize for because it wasn't just like your brother's
00:09:03.940 --> 00:09:04.774
Just like your brother's growing up.
00:09:04.840 --> 00:09:05.341
Growing up. i wonder if god ever looks at
00:09:05.408 --> 00:09:06.809
I wonder if god ever looks at what he gave you and says,
00:09:06.876 --> 00:09:08.110
What he gave you and says, "you are using
00:09:08.177 --> 00:09:12.882
"you are using what you're holding far
00:09:12.949 --> 00:09:15.284
What you're holding far beneath its full potential."
00:09:15.351 --> 00:09:18.754
Beneath its full potential." now, of course the phrase,
00:09:18.821 --> 00:09:21.457
Now, of course the phrase, "you do you",
00:09:21.524 --> 00:09:23.859
"you do you", is a controversial phrase.
00:09:23.926 --> 00:09:26.662
Is a controversial phrase. and that's obviously --
00:09:26.729 --> 00:09:28.164
And that's obviously -- i don't wanna assume
00:09:28.230 --> 00:09:29.131
I don't wanna assume that you know what
00:09:29.198 --> 00:09:30.433
That you know what i'm trying to say here.
00:09:30.499 --> 00:09:32.134
I'm trying to say here. it's when people --
00:09:32.201 --> 00:09:33.302
It's when people -- usually, they're trying to say,
00:09:33.369 --> 00:09:34.570
Usually, they're trying to say, "i would never in my lifetime
00:09:34.637 --> 00:09:35.972
"i would never in my lifetime wear those, but you do you."
00:09:36.038 --> 00:09:37.139
[laughter]
00:09:37.740 --> 00:09:39.775
Like, "i think you
00:09:40.142 --> 00:09:40.676
Like, "i think you look ridiculous."
00:09:40.743 --> 00:09:41.210
Look ridiculous." they don't say that part,
00:09:41.277 --> 00:09:41.844
They don't say that part, they go,
00:09:41.911 --> 00:09:42.445
They go, "hey, you do you."
00:09:42.511 --> 00:09:43.713
"hey, you do you." or in a more positive sense,
00:09:43.779 --> 00:09:46.015
Or in a more positive sense, it's what i told holly,
00:09:46.082 --> 00:09:47.750
It's what i told holly, when she was first trying
00:09:47.817 --> 00:09:48.551
When she was first trying to figure out how to preach.
00:09:48.618 --> 00:09:50.720
To figure out how to preach. she was like,
00:09:50.786 --> 00:09:51.354
She was like, "but i'm not preachy."
00:09:51.420 --> 00:09:54.256
"but i'm not preachy." i'm like, "you don't
00:09:54.323 --> 00:09:54.991
I'm like, "you don't need to scream.
00:09:55.057 --> 00:09:55.625
Need to scream. we got microphones.
00:09:55.691 --> 00:09:57.760
We got microphones. i just scream because
00:09:57.827 --> 00:09:58.694
I just scream because i got issues."
00:09:58.761 --> 00:09:59.395
[laughter]
00:09:59.962 --> 00:10:01.263
"be calm, do you.
00:10:01.597 --> 00:10:04.066
"be calm, do you. people will actually be thankful
00:10:04.133 --> 00:10:05.468
People will actually be thankful that they don't have to listen
00:10:05.534 --> 00:10:06.335
That they don't have to listen to me scream that week when you
00:10:06.402 --> 00:10:08.004
To me scream that week when you get up and sound very softly.
00:10:08.070 --> 00:10:09.705
Get up and sound very softly. and you can kick their
00:10:09.772 --> 00:10:10.539
And you can kick their butts in a whisper.
00:10:10.606 --> 00:10:13.309
Butts in a whisper. do you."
00:10:13.376 --> 00:10:14.810
Do you." do you.
00:10:14.877 --> 00:10:15.978
Do you. look at somebody and say,
00:10:16.045 --> 00:10:16.646
Look at somebody and say, "do you."
00:10:16.712 --> 00:10:17.446
"do you." >> congregation: do you.
00:10:17.513 --> 00:10:18.714
>> congregation: do you. >> and it's good,
00:10:18.781 --> 00:10:19.315
>> and it's good, and i know it's
00:10:19.382 --> 00:10:19.982
And i know it's a little bit old,
00:10:20.049 --> 00:10:20.650
A little bit old, it's a little cliché,
00:10:20.716 --> 00:10:22.118
It's a little cliché, do you.
00:10:22.184 --> 00:10:24.086
Do you. the only problem i have
00:10:24.153 --> 00:10:24.920
The only problem i have with the advice,
00:10:24.987 --> 00:10:26.288
With the advice, "do you",
00:10:26.355 --> 00:10:27.556
"do you", is that would be good advice,
00:10:27.623 --> 00:10:29.825
Is that would be good advice, if you knew you,
00:10:29.892 --> 00:10:32.228
If you knew you, but do you?
00:10:32.294 --> 00:10:34.964
[laughter]
00:10:35.364 --> 00:10:36.732
I'mma have fun all
00:10:37.099 --> 00:10:37.667
I'mma have fun all by myself this week.
00:10:37.733 --> 00:10:39.835
By myself this week. come on, i turn 44 next monday,
00:10:39.902 --> 00:10:42.204
Come on, i turn 44 next monday, i'm too old to not enjoy this.
00:10:42.271 --> 00:10:43.706
[applause]
00:10:44.140 --> 00:10:46.475
Yeah, do you.
00:10:46.876 --> 00:10:47.743
Yeah, do you. and you know,
00:10:47.810 --> 00:10:48.778
And you know, i think that's a wonderful
00:10:48.844 --> 00:10:50.346
I think that's a wonderful piece of advice if you're
00:10:50.413 --> 00:10:51.514
Piece of advice if you're talking to somebody who's
00:10:51.580 --> 00:10:53.449
Talking to somebody who's gonna do a new hairstyle, right?
00:10:53.516 --> 00:10:55.885
Gonna do a new hairstyle, right? if you ever watch an anniversary
00:10:55.951 --> 00:10:56.886
If you ever watch an anniversary sermon from the church,
00:10:56.952 --> 00:10:57.920
Sermon from the church, you will notice.
00:10:57.987 --> 00:10:58.754
[laughter]
00:10:59.755 --> 00:11:01.090
The number of hair expressions
00:11:01.457 --> 00:11:02.625
The number of hair expressions that i have gone
00:11:02.692 --> 00:11:03.225
That i have gone through in the years,
00:11:03.292 --> 00:11:04.427
Through in the years, and i apologize
00:11:04.493 --> 00:11:05.094
And i apologize for none of them.
00:11:05.161 --> 00:11:06.395
For none of them. every single one them i did.
00:11:06.462 --> 00:11:08.197
Every single one them i did. every hairdo that i did,
00:11:08.264 --> 00:11:10.933
At the time, was good.
00:11:11.033 --> 00:11:12.568
At the time, was good. and then a woman got online
00:11:12.635 --> 00:11:13.669
And then a woman got online the other week and said,
00:11:13.736 --> 00:11:14.770
The other week and said, "i'm very disappointed
00:11:14.837 --> 00:11:15.905
"i'm very disappointed that you're dyeing your beard.
00:11:15.971 --> 00:11:17.239
That you're dyeing your beard. i thought you were going to grow
00:11:17.306 --> 00:11:18.207
I thought you were going to grow gray gracefully and show that
00:11:18.274 --> 00:11:19.842
Gray gracefully and show that the age of the lord
00:11:19.909 --> 00:11:20.943
The age of the lord is a blessing.
00:11:21.010 --> 00:11:22.044
Is a blessing. and i'm very disappointed to see
00:11:22.111 --> 00:11:23.112
And i'm very disappointed to see that you've began to color
00:11:23.179 --> 00:11:23.979
That you've began to color your beard."
00:11:24.046 --> 00:11:24.580
Your beard." so now,
00:11:24.647 --> 00:11:25.314
You can't even dye you
00:11:25.414 --> 00:11:27.149
You can't even dye you and do you without somebody
00:11:27.216 --> 00:11:29.452
And do you without somebody telling you --
00:11:29.518 --> 00:11:32.088
Telling you -- come on, i'mma dye
00:11:32.154 --> 00:11:33.355
Come on, i'mma dye it for a little while.
00:11:33.422 --> 00:11:34.690
It for a little while. the bible says,
00:11:34.757 --> 00:11:35.558
The bible says, "die to the old."
00:11:35.624 --> 00:11:36.959
"die to the old." so that's what i'm trying to do.
00:11:37.026 --> 00:11:37.793
[laughter]
00:11:38.260 --> 00:11:39.462
Yeah, do you.
00:11:39.829 --> 00:11:43.499
Yeah, do you. and if it goes gray you
00:11:43.566 --> 00:11:44.500
And if it goes gray you know i'm ready to try a new me.
00:11:44.567 --> 00:11:49.739
Know i'm ready to try a new me. very helpful advice
00:11:49.805 --> 00:11:50.840
Very helpful advice if you're saying,
00:11:50.906 --> 00:11:51.373
If you're saying, "hey, don't feel the pressure
00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:52.475
"hey, don't feel the pressure to perform like saw
00:11:52.541 --> 00:11:53.375
To perform like saw somebody else perform, do you.
00:11:53.442 --> 00:11:56.078
Somebody else perform, do you. sing in your range.
00:11:56.145 --> 00:11:58.013
Sing in your range. use your gift.
00:11:58.080 --> 00:11:59.415
Use your gift. say it how you say it.
00:11:59.482 --> 00:12:00.316
Say it how you say it. that's great."
00:12:00.382 --> 00:12:01.517
That's great." or, you know,
00:12:01.584 --> 00:12:02.351
Or, you know, "get a mohawk."
00:12:02.418 --> 00:12:04.053
"get a mohawk." everybody should
00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:04.587
Everybody should do it once in their life.
00:12:04.653 --> 00:12:06.655
Do it once in their life. "get a mullet."
00:12:06.722 --> 00:12:08.624
"get a mullet." i'm half way there right now,
00:12:08.691 --> 00:12:10.092
I'm half way there right now, i'm thinking about it.
00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:12.161
I'm thinking about it. and if that's what
00:12:12.228 --> 00:12:12.795
And if that's what i wanna do i should do it.
00:12:12.862 --> 00:12:14.063
I wanna do i should do it. but listen, i didn't really come
00:12:14.130 --> 00:12:15.231
But listen, i didn't really come here to talk to you about
00:12:15.297 --> 00:12:16.432
Here to talk to you about mohawks and mullets, did i?
00:12:16.499 --> 00:12:17.466
Mohawks and mullets, did i? i came to talk about mindsets.
00:12:17.533 --> 00:12:21.604
I came to talk about mindsets. i came to talk
00:12:21.670 --> 00:12:22.238
I came to talk about your mindset.
00:12:22.304 --> 00:12:25.274
About your mindset. what i am concerned about,
00:12:25.341 --> 00:12:27.743
What i am concerned about, for the people that i pastor,
00:12:27.810 --> 00:12:29.178
For the people that i pastor, and this doesn't have
00:12:29.245 --> 00:12:29.945
And this doesn't have to be every pastor's burden,
00:12:30.012 --> 00:12:32.414
To be every pastor's burden, but i am concerned that
00:12:32.481 --> 00:12:34.550
But i am concerned that the way we read jeremiah 1:4-9
00:12:34.617 --> 00:12:39.455
The way we read jeremiah 1:4-9 is different than
00:12:39.522 --> 00:12:40.156
Is different than how it happened.
00:12:40.222 --> 00:12:41.590
How it happened. and i'm gonna read it again,
00:12:41.657 --> 00:12:42.958
And i'm gonna read it again, and i'm gonna read
00:12:43.025 --> 00:12:43.592
And i'm gonna read it as if it were written
00:12:43.659 --> 00:12:45.694
It as if it were written with our just do you mentality
00:12:45.761 --> 00:12:49.665
With our just do you mentality that we bring to a lot
00:12:49.732 --> 00:12:51.567
That we bring to a lot of the situations in our life.
00:12:51.634 --> 00:12:53.502
Of the situations in our life. here's how it goes,
00:12:53.569 --> 00:12:54.637
Here's how it goes, jeremiah 1:4,
00:12:54.703 --> 00:12:55.604
Please put it on the screen.
00:12:55.704 --> 00:12:56.605
Please put it on the screen. "the word
00:12:56.672 --> 00:12:57.206
"the word of the lord came to me,

Of the lord came to me, saying, 'before i formed you
00:12:57.807 --> 00:12:59.408
Saying, 'before i formed you in the womb i knew you,
00:12:59.475 --> 00:13:01.410
In the womb i knew you, before you were born
00:13:01.477 --> 00:13:02.845
Before you were born i set you apart;
00:13:02.912 --> 00:13:05.114
I set you apart; i appointed you
00:13:05.181 --> 00:13:06.015
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.'
00:13:06.081 --> 00:13:08.150
As a prophet to the nations.' 'alas, sovereign lord,' i said,
00:13:08.217 --> 00:13:09.885
'alas, sovereign lord,' i said, 'i do not know how to speak;
00:13:09.952 --> 00:13:11.687
'i do not know how to speak; i am too young.'
00:13:11.754 --> 00:13:13.689
I am too young.' and the lord said to me."
00:13:13.756 --> 00:13:15.958
And the lord said to me." "just do you.
00:13:16.025 --> 00:13:21.130
"just do you. you don't know how to speak,
00:13:21.197 --> 00:13:21.897
Don't speak.
00:13:21.997 --> 00:13:23.399
Don't speak. nah, that's cool,
00:13:23.465 --> 00:13:24.133
Nah, that's cool, i thought i made you.
00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:29.104
I thought i made you. but no, you do you.
00:13:29.171 --> 00:13:31.841
But no, you do you. i thought i was
00:13:31.907 --> 00:13:32.942
I thought i was the sovereign god,
00:13:33.008 --> 00:13:36.679
Who put you together.
00:13:36.779 --> 00:13:39.081
Who put you together. i thought i was the one who

I thought i was the one who spoke you out of nothing
00:13:41.217 --> 00:13:44.453
Spoke you out of nothing before you were formed
00:13:44.520 --> 00:13:45.454
Before you were formed in your mother's womb."
00:13:45.521 --> 00:13:47.957
In your mother's womb." god doesn't tell
00:13:48.023 --> 00:13:48.891
Jeremiah upon his excuse,
00:13:48.991 --> 00:13:51.327
Jeremiah upon his excuse, "just do you."
00:13:51.393 --> 00:13:53.229
"just do you." look what he says in verse 7,
00:13:53.295 --> 00:13:54.930
Look what he says in verse 7, read it how it actually says.
00:13:54.997 --> 00:13:56.498
"but the lord said to me,
00:13:56.599 --> 00:13:57.733
"but the lord said to me, 'do not say,

'do not say, 'i am too young.'

'i am too young.' you must go to everyone

You must go to everyone i send you to and say whatever

I send you to and say whatever i command you."
00:14:08.644 --> 00:14:10.512
I command you." so, this verse tells me,
00:14:10.579 --> 00:14:13.349
So, this verse tells me, do you, do --

You must go to everyone i send you to and say whatever

Do not be afraid of them, for i am with you."
00:16:32.321 --> 00:16:35.891
For i am with you." do you
00:16:35.958 --> 00:16:39.528
Takes on a little different
00:16:39.628 --> 00:16:40.329
Takes on a little different significance when, "i am",
00:16:40.396 --> 00:16:44.033
Significance when, "i am", is with me.
00:16:44.099 --> 00:16:45.034
[applause]
00:16:45.567 --> 00:16:48.537
Stylus drop.
00:16:49.038 --> 00:16:49.471
[laughter]
00:16:49.972 --> 00:16:55.511
Now, why i really
00:16:56.145 --> 00:16:56.712
Now, why i really called him up here wasn't
00:16:56.779 --> 00:16:57.679
Called him up here wasn't to help me with the stylus.
00:16:57.746 --> 00:16:59.615
To help me with the stylus. we had an agreement before
00:16:59.681 --> 00:17:00.916
We had an agreement before he came up here that
00:17:00.983 --> 00:17:02.618
He came up here that he would me with the sermon.
00:17:02.684 --> 00:17:04.253
He would me with the sermon. you may recognize graham
00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:05.921
You may recognize graham from such sermons as
00:17:05.988 --> 00:17:07.689
From such sermons as "god's got your back,
00:17:07.756 --> 00:17:09.258
"god's got your back, part one",
00:17:09.324 --> 00:17:10.959
Part one", and "don't fight your future".
00:17:11.026 --> 00:17:13.495
And "don't fight your future". last time we were
00:17:13.562 --> 00:17:13.996
Last time we were on the stage together,
00:17:14.063 --> 00:17:15.330
On the stage together, i let him get down on top of me
00:17:15.397 --> 00:17:17.132
I let him get down on top of me and hold me down to represent
00:17:17.199 --> 00:17:18.901
And hold me down to represent all the things that
00:17:18.967 --> 00:17:19.601
All the things that hold us down in our lives,
00:17:19.668 --> 00:17:21.303
Hold us down in our lives, and he enjoyed that.
00:17:21.370 --> 00:17:22.204
[laughter]
00:17:22.671 --> 00:17:23.639
Today, i'mma do
00:17:23.972 --> 00:17:24.373
Today, i'mma do a different illustration,
00:17:24.440 --> 00:17:25.407
A different illustration, turn the tables
00:17:25.474 --> 00:17:26.041
Turn the tables a little bit today.
00:17:26.108 --> 00:17:28.110
A little bit today. because what we talked about is,
00:17:28.177 --> 00:17:30.179
Because what we talked about is, you know, this idea that,
00:17:30.245 --> 00:17:32.881
You know, this idea that, you just do you assuming
00:17:32.948 --> 00:17:35.517
You just do you assuming that you've met you,
00:17:35.584 --> 00:17:38.220
That you've met you, factors out what god
00:17:38.287 --> 00:17:40.389
Factors out what god knows that you don't.
00:17:40.456 --> 00:17:42.491
Knows that you don't. and so, i wanna share with you
00:17:42.558 --> 00:17:45.060
And so, i wanna share with you something that he did
00:17:45.127 --> 00:17:46.495
Something that he did when he was real little.
00:17:46.562 --> 00:17:47.262
When he was real little. i was telling them the story
00:17:47.329 --> 00:17:48.097
I was telling them the story of jacob and esau,
00:17:48.163 --> 00:17:49.865
Of jacob and esau, and i was telling them
00:17:49.932 --> 00:17:50.566
And i was telling them how esau was grabbing
00:17:50.632 --> 00:17:52.768
How esau was grabbing jacob's heel trying -- or jacob
00:17:52.835 --> 00:17:55.137
Jacob's heel trying -- or jacob was grabbing esau's heel rather,
00:17:55.204 --> 00:17:56.638
Was grabbing esau's heel rather, trying to get the birthright
00:17:56.705 --> 00:17:57.906
Trying to get the birthright and the blessing.
00:17:57.973 --> 00:17:58.707
And the blessing. y'all know this story?
00:17:58.774 --> 00:17:59.475
Y'all know this story? >> congregation: yes.
00:17:59.541 --> 00:18:00.275
>> congregation: yes. >> okay, i'll tell you
00:18:00.342 --> 00:18:00.976
>> okay, i'll tell you the whole story one time,
00:18:01.043 --> 00:18:01.577
The whole story one time, but i can't tell you
00:18:01.643 --> 00:18:02.211
But i can't tell you the whole thing right now.
00:18:02.277 --> 00:18:03.078
The whole thing right now. i was telling him
00:18:03.145 --> 00:18:03.612
I was telling him about the part where esau
00:18:03.679 --> 00:18:06.849
About the part where esau was coming in from hunting
00:18:06.915 --> 00:18:07.850
Was coming in from hunting and he was very hungry,
00:18:07.916 --> 00:18:09.118
And he was very hungry, and jacob,
00:18:09.184 --> 00:18:09.685
And jacob, his brother was a good cook.
00:18:09.751 --> 00:18:11.453
His brother was a good cook. and so, esau came in,
00:18:11.520 --> 00:18:12.721
And so, esau came in, hungry from hunting,
00:18:12.788 --> 00:18:13.889
Hungry from hunting, 'cause apparently,
00:18:13.956 --> 00:18:14.323
'cause apparently, he wasn't a very good hunter
00:18:14.389 --> 00:18:14.990
He wasn't a very good hunter 'cause he didn't kill anything
00:18:15.057 --> 00:18:15.691
'cause he didn't kill anything or if he did kill something
00:18:15.757 --> 00:18:16.558
Or if he did kill something it still wasn't cooked yet.
00:18:16.625 --> 00:18:17.726
It still wasn't cooked yet. so he's hungry and jacob's like,
00:18:17.793 --> 00:18:19.294
So he's hungry and jacob's like, "hey, i got a bowl of beans."
00:18:19.361 --> 00:18:20.996
"hey, i got a bowl of beans." bring me the bowl
00:18:21.063 --> 00:18:22.297
Bring me the bowl "i got a bowl of beans
00:18:22.364 --> 00:18:23.932
"i got a bowl of beans that you can have.
00:18:23.999 --> 00:18:25.801
That you can have. all you have to do is sell
00:18:25.868 --> 00:18:27.769
All you have to do is sell me your birthright."
00:18:27.836 --> 00:18:29.571
Me your birthright." so, they're bringing
00:18:29.638 --> 00:18:30.172
So, they're bringing me a bowl right now.
00:18:30.239 --> 00:18:31.206
[laughter]
00:18:32.007 --> 00:18:33.075
Y'all got it?
00:18:33.442 --> 00:18:34.610
Y'all got it? thank you, thank you.
00:18:34.676 --> 00:18:37.346
Thank you, thank you. let's give it up
00:18:37.412 --> 00:18:38.814
Let's give it up for the brother with the bowl.
00:18:38.881 --> 00:18:40.048
[applause]
00:18:40.449 --> 00:18:42.784
So, i brought this from home.
00:18:43.952 --> 00:18:45.487
So, i brought this from home. many ramen noodles have been
00:18:45.554 --> 00:18:46.722
Many ramen noodles have been cooked in this very bowl,
00:18:46.788 --> 00:18:47.990
Cooked in this very bowl, if you only knew.
00:18:48.056 --> 00:18:49.158
If you only knew. one time we destroyed
00:18:49.224 --> 00:18:49.791
One time we destroyed a microwave,
00:18:49.858 --> 00:18:50.359
A microwave, cooking ramen noodles in a bowl,
00:18:50.425 --> 00:18:51.493
Cooking ramen noodles in a bowl, i don't know how
00:18:51.560 --> 00:18:52.094
I don't know how elijah did that.
00:18:52.161 --> 00:18:52.761
[laughter]
00:18:53.228 --> 00:18:54.730
But in exchange
00:18:55.097 --> 00:18:57.132
But in exchange for a bowl of beans, esau,
00:18:57.199 --> 00:19:02.104
For a bowl of beans, esau, who was the firstborn,
00:19:02.171 --> 00:19:04.006
Who was the firstborn, sold his birthright
00:19:04.072 --> 00:19:05.941
Sold his birthright to his brother and forfeited
00:19:06.008 --> 00:19:08.043
To his brother and forfeited the blessing that god
00:19:08.110 --> 00:19:09.611
The blessing that god intended for him to have,
00:19:09.678 --> 00:19:11.547
Intended for him to have, all for a bowl of beans.
00:19:11.613 --> 00:19:15.250
All for a bowl of beans. my contention with a lot of us,
00:19:15.317 --> 00:19:16.919
My contention with a lot of us, not just young people,
00:19:16.985 --> 00:19:18.854
Not just young people, but a lot of us who've
00:19:18.921 --> 00:19:19.621
But a lot of us who've been christians for a long time
00:19:19.688 --> 00:19:22.057
Been christians for a long time is that we sell
00:19:22.124 --> 00:19:23.258
Is that we sell birthrights for bowls.
00:19:23.325 --> 00:19:25.427
[applause]
00:19:28.797 --> 00:19:30.966
Now, we call it things
00:19:31.333 --> 00:19:33.001
Now, we call it things that sound really good,
00:19:33.068 --> 00:19:35.103
That sound really good, you might have heard
00:19:35.170 --> 00:19:35.804
You might have heard this called,
00:19:35.871 --> 00:19:36.705
This called, living your truth.
00:19:36.772 --> 00:19:40.175
Living your truth. i personally do not
00:19:40.242 --> 00:19:41.210
I personally do not say that phrase,
00:19:41.276 --> 00:19:42.244
Say that phrase, although i have nothing
00:19:42.311 --> 00:19:43.312
Although i have nothing against the phrase,
00:19:43.378 --> 00:19:44.346
Against the phrase, i just wanna qualify where
00:19:44.413 --> 00:19:46.081
I just wanna qualify where did you get
00:19:46.148 --> 00:19:46.682
Did you get your truth from?
00:19:46.748 --> 00:19:49.518
Your truth from? because if living your truth
00:19:49.585 --> 00:19:51.153
Because if living your truth means repeating your experience,
00:19:51.220 --> 00:19:53.555
Means repeating your experience, you are not a
00:19:53.622 --> 00:19:54.323
You are not a candidate for wisdom.
00:19:54.389 --> 00:19:57.392
Candidate for wisdom. wisdom will always interrupt
00:19:57.459 --> 00:19:59.027
Wisdom will always interrupt your experience to show you
00:19:59.094 --> 00:20:01.563
Your experience to show you that what you always thought
00:20:01.630 --> 00:20:03.065
That what you always thought you were, you actually were not.
00:20:03.131 --> 00:20:05.400
You were, you actually were not. but god has put a seed inside
00:20:05.467 --> 00:20:07.703
But god has put a seed inside of you that has reached
00:20:07.769 --> 00:20:09.304
Of you that has reached maturity yet in your life.
00:20:09.371 --> 00:20:12.307
Maturity yet in your life. and esau, out of his immaturity,
00:20:12.374 --> 00:20:15.277
And esau, out of his immaturity, as a grown man,
00:20:15.344 --> 00:20:17.913
As a grown man, sold what he could
00:20:17.980 --> 00:20:19.314
Sold what he could have been for a bowl.
00:20:19.381 --> 00:20:22.084
Have been for a bowl. now, by the time you get
00:20:22.150 --> 00:20:23.318
Now, by the time you get into the new testament,
00:20:23.385 --> 00:20:25.454
Into the new testament, paul calls it
00:20:25.520 --> 00:20:26.221
Paul calls it something different.
00:20:26.288 --> 00:20:27.356
Something different. in ephesians 4, verse,
00:20:27.422 --> 00:20:30.759
In ephesians 4, verse, i believe about 22,
00:20:30.826 --> 00:20:31.827
I believe about 22, gimme that on
00:20:31.893 --> 00:20:32.327
Gimme that on the lower thirds, please.
00:20:32.394 --> 00:20:34.196
Ephesians 4:22,
00:20:34.296 --> 00:20:36.632
Ephesians 4:22, "you were taught,
00:20:36.698 --> 00:20:38.100
"you were taught, with regard to your former
00:20:38.166 --> 00:20:39.868
With regard to your former way of life,
00:20:39.935 --> 00:20:41.803
Way of life, to put off your old self."
00:20:41.870 --> 00:20:45.007
To put off your old self." that doesn't mean don't
00:20:45.073 --> 00:20:46.174
That doesn't mean don't go down memory lane.
00:20:46.241 --> 00:20:48.243
Go down memory lane. that doesn't mean don't be who
00:20:48.310 --> 00:20:49.845
That doesn't mean don't be who you were uniquely created to be.
00:20:49.911 --> 00:20:51.880
You were uniquely created to be. that doesn't mean don't enjoy
00:20:51.947 --> 00:20:53.782
That doesn't mean don't enjoy the things that make
00:20:53.849 --> 00:20:54.750
The things that make you uniquely you.
00:20:54.816 --> 00:20:56.285
You uniquely you. here's what it means.
00:20:56.351 --> 00:20:57.653
Here's what it means. "that part of you that is
00:20:57.719 --> 00:20:58.687
"that part of you that is being corrupted by
00:20:58.754 --> 00:21:01.056
Being corrupted by its deceitful desires."
00:21:01.123 --> 00:21:05.360
Its deceitful desires." and the problem
00:21:05.427 --> 00:21:06.328
And the problem with you being you,
00:21:06.395 --> 00:21:08.397
With you being you, is that sometimes what
00:21:08.463 --> 00:21:09.665
You think you want is
00:21:09.765 --> 00:21:11.800
You think you want is in conflict with who
00:21:11.867 --> 00:21:12.834
In conflict with who you really are.
00:21:12.901 --> 00:21:13.702
[applause]
00:21:14.136 --> 00:21:16.405
You will find yourself
00:21:16.772 --> 00:21:18.373
You will find yourself in many different states
00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:20.242
In many different states throughout any given day,
00:21:20.309 --> 00:21:22.210
Throughout any given day, and i'm not calling
00:21:22.277 --> 00:21:23.045
And i'm not calling you schizophrenic,
00:21:23.111 --> 00:21:25.314
You schizophrenic, i am saying by nature
00:21:25.380 --> 00:21:27.316
I am saying by nature of the fact that you are
00:21:27.382 --> 00:21:29.418
Of the fact that you are a spirit that lives in a body.
00:21:29.484 --> 00:21:32.087
A spirit that lives in a body. sometimes your body will try
00:21:32.154 --> 00:21:33.989
Sometimes your body will try to get you to sell
00:21:34.056 --> 00:21:35.924
To get you to sell your birthright for a bowl.
00:21:35.991 --> 00:21:37.359
Your birthright for a bowl. help me preach,
00:21:37.426 --> 00:21:39.394
Help me preach, would you please?
00:21:39.461 --> 00:21:40.462
[applause]
00:21:40.862 --> 00:21:43.131
Graham heard the story
00:21:43.532 --> 00:21:44.399
Graham heard the story about jacob and esau,
00:21:44.466 --> 00:21:45.634
About jacob and esau, i shared with him how jacob,
00:21:45.701 --> 00:21:46.835
I shared with him how jacob, all of his life,
00:21:46.902 --> 00:21:48.070
All of his life, was trying to get a blessing
00:21:48.136 --> 00:21:49.771
Was trying to get a blessing that wasn't his by pretending
00:21:49.838 --> 00:21:51.606
That wasn't his by pretending to be something
00:21:51.673 --> 00:21:52.641
To be something that he was not.
00:21:52.708 --> 00:21:53.475
That he was not. and he didn't have to because
00:21:53.542 --> 00:21:54.676
And he didn't have to because god wanted to bless jacob,
00:21:54.743 --> 00:21:56.378
God wanted to bless jacob, but i even shared
00:21:56.445 --> 00:21:57.179
But i even shared the part where jacob
00:21:57.245 --> 00:21:58.547
The part where jacob was blessing and he grabbed
00:21:58.613 --> 00:22:00.549
