Sunday Service

A ride. You are with us and the termite to like I said earlier.

We realized I sent the leaders believe it's the body of Christ coming together, really help us move forward. And some of you were ready. Things don't fall through the cracks and one of the things with our worship, you know, it's kind of Tino's picking up. This one guy over by the Starbucks.

as much as we loved it and we have some things consistently and so we really want to Next Step.

Is that you're going to have an opportunity to worship. You're going to have an opportunity to fellowship with other people, but you might like logo ideas that went up on the street earlier and and Amanda.

as we finish up this final series of insight, and it's about It's about purpose. And, you know, one of the things that can kind of distracted. How many of you like your Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or whatever. It is that you do to help?

You can know what's going on, you know, it's kind of funny.

For some people.

Everything about what's going on in my life, I need to prevent it. I need to get on 10th and Capitol. Content all the time. And then there's two people that are on the other. I don't want to hurt anyone.

Everybody has ever done and I need to make sure every birthday at every anniversary.

The problem with that is that in both sides, you can't get to the end of the internet and so, No one will help you. I guarantee you Facebook Instagram will not give you an alert that says, why don't you go spend time with your family? Why don't you get out and walk? Why don't you do? It will never get that. But what so many times we get caught into it. I think it happened as we get caught into things is that each of us has to be like this rabbit hole but I think we're really good. But have you ever been like having a great day and then what social media and then you're like oh my gosh you know, I thought that person was gone forever cuz all these different things that come up with social media and sometimes even like as a pastor, I realized it's really it's really easy to look at what other people are doing and then he,

You know what about all these? There's nothing wrong with making. That's a great thing and you can start vacation all the time and you're on vacation this year and I've only got one vacation and Rancho backyard.

Our lives with other people what their kids have died.

I know you're looking at that person in your life. I think their closet really is the Nordstrom Rack. You know, that's really that's the worst is when we compare ourselves to other people of what they do and I don't know what is it a Fix-It Felix jr. And his cartoon and some of you feel a lot more, like Wreck-It Ralph, give me a chance.

You're so good at that and then there's other things. Yeah, they can make the score.

Lay's potato chips and take that sour cream and onion. Potato chips. And then somehow they take it like instant potatoes and mashed potatoes out of it. I need to see some people and I think they look like some people, some people don't like that, it's easy. Sometimes to compare yourself to other people and you don't even went. And I think the reason why is because I think guys are always thinking about women, and if we don't win we feel really bad.

We sometimes feel a little extra uncomfortable when we start caring about other people and even like know your spouse has something so wonderful in your life and you know yes honey. Yeah. She's very good at that.

If you were in the real world, you're a lot more like, oh yeah. Oh yeah, that guy. Is he good at throwing stars? Like I am and you know I can eat them all back. You know what it is. You put it on this end and we can end up trying to defend yourself. We got to win. We got to win.

Good enough to win. And the reality is that you'll never win because you're comparing yourself to other people. You're trying to get into their Lane that you were never designed to get it. And so many times, where do I go? I need to be all things. That is open and sometimes we can really be, like all I really got to put this whole thing together and I'm the one that The reality is.

And so, what we need to do is understand what our purposes and not get caught up in other people's purposes for calling and sub carryout looking at when I go to bad things in life can actually use that. For my purpose to become more, but nothing in your life is not going to wait, he wants to even the painful things are but even the bad things that other people forget at 11 called, according to is my purpose.

Spend your life doing the best you can and that's for each of us are with other people. Like there's some people business clothes on and everything. What we need to figure out what each one of us.

What to do to you and through you. The very first thing is that. You perfectly to fulfill his purpose for you.

Created you, so you don't have to worry about all. Is there something wrong with me? That's really what shame is guilt is when when you've done something wrong and says, did you do it?

Shane is when you say there's something wrong with me. I'm broken there's something that's just not right but I want you to know that he's created you with everything. You eat to be all that he has for you to be that your time on Earth. Are we going to happen if that's created me perfectly? And he has a plan for me. That's why the Apostle Paul wrote in his season's to First tenant says it for. We are God's Masterpiece and he created us in Christ Jesus, so that we can do the good things that he's planned for us long ago. Guys, this is really good. When you look at it, the Greek word for Masterpiece and really think your life is created. Beautiful for something that God has prepared long ago before you were even a blip on planet Earth. God knew you, and he had a plan for you and I'll talk to Leah basic. There are no legitimate children. That God doesn't make mistakes. God created you incredible. When was the last time you heard someone at work? Say that to you and you try to figure out, how do I get through the line and the reality.

But God has something specific for you. They got to have something so amazing that there's no mistakes. God doesn't bother about the Father of Lights.

We can judge. Maybe someone that we call now politically, correct special needs.

and so when we look at life in the end, no matter what the world judge you, or

I need something amazing for something in store.

God has a specific plan for each of us and so so many times we kind of wake up in the morning and will be like what do I want to do? You ever feel like that? I what do I want to do today? What do I want to do for me today? What is it that God wants to do that? You need that? No one else. I want to look at that today. And I think that one of the biggest realize an infant face to face with. Is comparing because we look at other people, we compared their life and what's going on in their life to what God is doing in my life. And so, there's been a red. Want you to write down, is comparing yourself to others. Keeps you from fillings for billing, God's purpose for, you know, you. But if my eyes are focused on other people with Jeremiah at them, instead of looking at what God wants me to do.

It's not just our social media. I think he goes all the way back when you're reading the scripture in the Bible that are quotes seats, that they don't do anything wrong.

they're also show their paws because we all have what you don't have to if you're reading and you look at Jesus,

Jesus always, but when we look at other people know what they're going to make mistakes here and there. And I was thinking up, John the Beloved younger and then and then and then

And you see this kind of thing, I know how John sometimes communicates in the third person that can be annoying and I want to show you this kind of ugly. And so I think they spent all this time together and cheese. And then we're looking at that, the resurrection Mary.

And here's what we see, how long would be starting in it. In with the first two, it says that she married brand and found, Simon, Peter, and the other disciples. The one who wrote that taking the Lord's body out of the two? We don't know where they at. Peter and the other disciple who's the other disciple John, and they started out for the tooth because they said we see the market and a little faster. Let it go faster and then we pick up a sports. They were both running.

Then they first and then we see what the other people to support.

Arrive in, lindside. He also noted lying. There reached. I have one already.

Also went in and he saw and I think that's a great as much as you know, past, exactly.

A light in the midst of amazing. And this was beautiful.

Even though.

Keep that from what we need to do and some of you maybe even ladies.

I need to do that.

well, if I start doing that ever happen, I'm sure not. I'm sure guys. Never heard about. I don't care about is that is absolutely inappropriate. Cancel.

Hear that about other people and start to compare, how come my husband doesn't do what this other person. How come my kid doesn't do with this other like family to duplex the most important thing? But it's so easy.

We talked about it before, Jesus getting ready to make breakfast for me to work through something for your life, you are going to be the rock of this church in the life of people for ages because of the choices that you make. That's kind of the bottom line.

Peter, many of us, it's in John 21.

Instead he hide them the disciple. I don't know what you really said that.

Why do you know why you even paying attention to what the Lord, who will betray you? Peter asked. What about him until I return you?

So what does Jesus say about other people?

Other people, you want to spend the rest of your life. There are gifts with other people's gift, we're trying to get other people to do things with other people and the fast way to kill family.

Look at what they're doing. Look at them to do so many time. We're running a different race. It's like,

Just Dance. What if I run into someone else? Do I win? Because I'm not. But this is what's beautiful. Starting in the light of Faith. Let us strip up every weight that slows down, especially since the race that God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, A Champion is the purpose of our paid because of the joy, awaiting him. He and doors across disregarding it's saying now.

Track or cross-country, anyway.

The biggest mistake you can ever make is when you turn your head, when you turn your head to look at where it where you're at, in the race is where Olympic Runners. It's that little bit of just turn your head to look can lose the race and so we need to stay focused on that. We can't do anything else, that's something you. So messed up in our culture just in Courage

we never at 6. See, you can succeed with your insecurities if you're in here about who you are. What, what did we learn today in the scripture? You are a masterpiece Are you insecure about being a masterpiece?

You people always right and it was about Ashley Smith and and some of you thought the most simple things.

And the thing that changed this man's life forever with that, she made him pancakes with real butter and maple syrup. The man ended up, giving up to authorities and it tears in his eyes hours later. He said, I can't believe that she made real pancake with mixer nobody. We just want to live a life of Integrity about what other people are. Old voice of Faith to move forward. And and what I want you to know, if each of you and there's something amazing about you and you want to use me. I don't know about you, but people are easier to look at other people.

But I want you to know that the same guy looks at you. Are some amazing stuff that's happened and that will happen. And what I want to do for our message today is

and I want to bring up a friend of mine, and she just said,

1st Street. And so, we are going to have Madeline, and she's going to say

this, this this really is an American

Madeline is paid yet.

I'm going to ask Madeline a couple questions and Madeline, you've been married 44 years, Yes.

Life is taken place.

He's been so faithful. I've been to 51 sharing the gospel.

So you want me to tell him? I'm at when I'm done with I think that would be good at the store because there's one thing about you. But when you share

And be able to be like. It wasn't always the plan, but it was God's plan and and you can hear them in it.

And so wasn't even always about you. And when you were in Hawaii, when I get here,

I will leave Madeline's that's her calling every single day is that she prays and says, God what you want me to do? Do you want me to go to City Hall and go walk around and kill the security guard?

And so now. Things go somewhere else.

So, the opportunity came up. And I'm ready. God is going to do. I think one of the strangest things when you don't know what's happening and what you want to be obedient,

Over 35 years ago.

And I thought, what I can't do that.

but I want to be obedient to the Lord and he said, and I got

And we got to immigration. Alorica.

Dealt with the immigration officer, who was talking to somebody. Trouble and they just wears me right on through the first station, we were always told

So, I went to the first station.

Machine. And when I got up there the machine, bro.

And then I had some Bibles in my beliefs, that I was just a couple and their Velcro.

I'm walking toward what I thought was the exit of the are immigration station. And two of these looking officers, came and took my right shoulder and wanted my left shoulder, there were these big red Okay, I'm a dad to positively and take me to bed instead of country girl that doesn't know what she's doing.

Yeah.

Supernatural next on Howard Stern.

So, I don't know how the Lord.

But he told me about the job opening. I said to myself that so God and so I had just left a really stressful job and was ready to go.

And a person from why when they came to Los Angeles to pay and they told us that's the only connection we had. We went to this church and I think we were there like two or three.

I don't think so.

Street names.

Church. And a side door.

and I talked to the person so I called just to get her off my back. I called the number and the person said, state senator Hawaii.

I need you to call this number and they put this on the phone. And he said, can you come in for?

I said, yes.

You never had me.

The first, the first few weeks.

Who are the state senators office and he was and got no all the people.

Hawaii. God, used in years.

Four, women take me to get to work.

Christians.

It's not so much about and that's what that does for each. One of these, your calling is to be mad and I realized I love her so much. And my job is to look. And I realize it, as I was talking to someone this week, I was talking to them and I was like, so proud of you, and I want you to know that God is The same way that he's proud of Madeline and he's proud of other people. He's proud of you.
