April 14, 2019 Sun am Matt. 9:9-13

To keep me from getting here today, but nonetheless the Lord delivered and I thank you for all of your patience. I will certainly try to do my best. With the presentation that you have to say. So thank you Father in Heaven way of worshipping you today. Thank you mother in law on the screen in the fridge.

man Guess who's coming who did it? many of us remember a lot of people remember

a movie evangelist a minute. I'm thinking after hearing one brother read the scripture here in another her Frank. I'm listening to what the spirit has reached out to us for their own lies and into the introduction. I met a lot of people that want to get things to a higher level. They're going to take the set things up. They want to turn their face up and I have to say this at least don't expect to have a mountain top fake if you have a knee high attendance rate. Just getting started.

It's expected of us. Sometimes then we are willing. Dealing with challenges from time to time as people. to keep us in a comfort zone and we live in a day and time where there's more than enough amethyst of people that would rather be in their comfort zone. It's a little bit too difficult for some to make the adjustment to deal with people of other cultures that I say or of other backward and one way we can challenge ourselves is to think of the idea of sharing a meal with other people many of us have rules about the way that we share our meals in our homes and there are a lot of things that we do when it comes to sharing meals in our homes or even out in public some of us a little judgmental right time.

But we will not receive or who we will or we will not this and as a matter of fact a zone of self righteous. That's always the danger zone. Did you think that we are the only ones that know how?

I am out of town and you can look at me and tell me that I am not in town. But for all you know, I might make a good spaghetti sauce from scratch.

Can always tell from the outside would value last within the inside. The text is within a larger context. Jesus is challenging those Hebrews and Jews that are around him because of their self-righteousness. They're very judgmental group of people and they have a tendency because things are taking him out of your comfort zone to criticize people. Did you think they don't have the energy the desire or the capability of doing them sit?

There are some of us. Even in our midst today that makes a I don't. go to dinner with people of this particular culture because

I'm not picking on anybody, but I'm I'm not going over money. Play men at their house. Yeah, and it smells a certain kind of way.

Leaving your house after Christmas dinner.

This is help someone out.

About to tell me that the first number 10 the scripture says and it came to pass this. Is it Matthew chapter 9 And it came to pass that Jesus set at Lee in the house with room with Matthew message sounds good because he had that job. He got a lot of criticism and their eyes are always on him because of his daily occupation. And so it came to pass that has Jesus set at me in the house of Matthew behold many publicans and sinners candy Matthew invited them before Jesus cop then it just said that after Jesus got there. He sat down to have meet with them that all these other people also now, we do have a holiday coming up and I'm not a guy that's real big on holiday is up of any kind of Empire Jeweler, but the reality of it is

opportunity for all of us and so when we have These evangelism by the way, my mother invited me to her house for Easter to a million people don't send me an invitation. I'm sorry for to come first.

You don't always know who's going to show up. And so we talked about this a lot of us because we was going to show up the same thing happens to us in a spiritual way. Evangelistic opportunity

Boise about who it is that we will communicate the message of the Lord takes us out about comforter.

I think it's going to be important for us.

Who are going to be? post visitor or what happened as Christians? This year I would have challenged a little bit. In terms of making an Evangelistic opportunity of your Easter Sunday.

The first thing we're going to do.

septic tank I looked at the table for now cuz I just left about 10-15 minutes in between my asking. Is it time yet? Is it time because I knew when it was time to set the table to put things all together. And so what we need to do is be a little more mindful of when he said the take now something to eat correct that we put on the table so I can get some water.

It's sold the play this year in the center and meaning that the focus should be on what is going to be placed on the plate exchange a little bit when we start working on these mealtimes and whom and how we communicate with the rest of the world Getty set a table. We consider some other things. We consider other things like, you know, what all these African-American Easter eggs People going to have a very different view of who I am because they came to my house. If I invite someone over to my house.

What time is it? And I'm outside now because I

we're talking about the plate or what's on the plate the images he wanted to me because of that in this I'm glad you got is what two things.

Volume of 2 lb bone in your hands. You can play one of them.

I'm in the right place. It's so concerned about image. We got to put something else on the table now because now when I put my image in the questionnaire, what about my respect because of people don't respect my image, not me not in me not respect me right now. What about that image? But the Powerball come over now, honey. Don't don't get I'm get the phone place.

I moved back today. Let me my mother my mother when she got married back in the day. She's giving a gift of China. But I gave my mama set of china now. I don't know if there's any value to it as far as

But to her it was worth a million bucks.

But we can't allow what we want images.

the determining Factor Evangelistic opportunities see this the thing that was going on when Jesus with Matthew to his house and he was sitting at the table there criticizes of what Jesus was doing in my Jesus does nothing but everything that Jesus does is intentional and it is for your benefit. And he's showing up here the idea that some are so much more concerned about their image and how they may or may not be respected that they give no opportunity for themselves to be caught or challenged by it being in the presence or being in a situation with a judge asks in it.

mouse pet I don't have my image in my respect. What about my aunt? What about my aunt? What about my badge? What about my hat? What is soccer? Mom said what about my child's participation for participation trophies?

Media One polo Yamaha like to tell brother Pamela story when I was in high school. I was fortunate enough. I think I just kept going to track practice and that's how I ended up just showing up for you know, and so one day we went to a track meet.

You got to go over to the other side in a hurry about to start so I ran. All 100 yards did the other side of the field not a problem that I had was when I got to the other side of the field when it started gun went off. I took off. But by the time you know because we got halfway done with the reasoning this other guy, you must have been like an offensive lineman. We were battling it out for last place now. That would fit it didn't matter who won the Rays. We just didn't want to be this is where I want to be to have.

You loser? You don't have any influence.

Step-by-step. We haven't talked about what goes on the plate. We haven't talked about who we going to invite. We haven't talked about what necessary arrangements we need to make to accommodate. I would guess we still talk about. Will talk about our cat. We want the influence. We want to Brand our sitter like a Bible says in Genesis talk about let us make a name for ourselves. Did you get the package to come over and have dinner with us? We can stop making the move. nickname

So, you know you can't.

bedrooms for pristine

now you shouldn't people get out of the way with me cuz this is why I don't really care all over there. I'm not I'm not knocking it.

What should I separate myself to my wife in the presence of God?

If I can control.

everything that means

Hey, boo, boo try to create. If we try to set the table. we try to be picky about all these kinds of things the focus goes away from

Have you ever been with a whole bunch of effort together and somebody took one or two bites out of work labor over all night long you cook a brisket and he man just looking for you looking for.

Waking up and going out there to check if you get it. All right, brother panel takes a bite out of them.

We get offended. Let me put some working at foot in the 76. But when you talk more about the cook did you talk about the gifts or the food? The only thing you're serving up brothers and sisters is confused.

Rihanna We don't know why we're eating it. But all the while we talk about you are what you eat.

What's quiet in Hindi?

Mike requirements What their Evangelistic opportunity from the Old Testament and New Testament and Subway into the Lord is that alright? Alright, so we got food. forethought

Genesis chapter 222 battery in fact means God will provide in the example of chapter 22. We realized that God had chosen Abraham because of his righteousness and we are where the idea that the child's dead Abraham had from God to sacrifice his son. Is that the rent and some of us it in a limited way of thinking we think that God had the ram in the bush as a plan but God looks at all-time right at one time. Actually the ramen divorced was planned and that's according to the for knowledge of God. So, why were you thinking about How do you think that noise or coincidence? It's just happenstance. The reality of it is God will provide and it's not because of it being a plan B. It's because God intent was for you to have it.

What we look at Psalm 78 and 24. We look at the Israelites. crossy Road Rhineland with what you Red Sea and God ring down manners and right from above so that they would have nourishment while they were going through now for many of us where we sit down at a table with under this is the story that we hear I'm going through. I just don't know where to pick me up or where it is. It seems like I jumped out of a pan and into the fire will my encouragement to people in that situation is God proves things by fire and if you are in the fire, you should kind of think about Shadrach Meshach in a Bendigo, but the Lord was there whenever you are going through you have to understand that God will supply you with what you mean exactly what you need to learn as you Didn't you through to the other side? There are some that remember the first king chapter 17 when Elijah the prophet and it continued for those who follow his instruction to provide over or continually. You on Lifetime the Bible says that Elijah who had nothing was talking to the Widow, and she was saying she didn't really have nothing.

all I got

Is a handful of flour? And a half a cup of oil. You know how some of us are. somebody going to borrow some for the First thing we say yeah. Well, this is all I got. All I got is. In a bartender, I got it. 10. Do you $10? all I got

storybooth on will give the proper flower you will give the property of oil. Then I have to remind her. You never have to worry about what you going to eat again. Because God is going to keep that flower where it needs to be gotten from the key that oil where it needs to be. If you need not a guy or employ any Superstition the trying to contain what it is that God is giving you because he's going to keep giving it to you. In other words. God is Perpetual you think about what David had to say, they would send you know in some 37 to 25 minutes.

Right, and now I'm old. But never have I seen the righteous. forsaken

he is C. Not just him. Not just that. Not just Big Mama. But the children and the grandchildren and great-grandchildren will be taken care of by God if you are. Improv

That's what we say. What David was. Because he had an extra hand in this thing.

You tell if you may remember.

David said no doubt the Paris the table before me what? in the presence of my opinions

Amen, all these years. I might not have got this Mercedes.

Just like the preacher said y'all y'all didn't want this mile happy, but you got to knee high tennis record.

Not restarting a preacher War reward sermons because that's what they had.

I really believe that what they did was talking about was. God gives me everything I need or puts the resources in a place that's available to me. Before I meet my end. Before I even have the opportunity to confront or be confronted by the enemy. God has already provided me with the nurse meant that I need.

growing up we go to the refrigerator.

Open it up. look inside Close the door. We don't want that. And walk away and I got your debit card number. Next door bell You Hear It Ain't Easy for you. It's for that.

again You do the same thing. bologna lettuce tomato in a few slices of Kraft American American cheese The Graduate that we close it up cuz we didn't want that.

In the Hunger is doing this thing man is building up to the refrigerator. And we open it up. Pressure has been applied by the hypothalamus and hunger and hunger. We get create a memory. Like I am sure that we got it before bologna and melted cheese on top of it you toasting the bread and sliced like I was likely brother found some bacon in Tahoe that at Hey that little sandwich that we make.

put it there for you because that's not what you

Justin Bieber

God is unlimited.

That doesn't have to say to himself. Well, I better ration out all of these. hamburgers because I'm a mess around on hamburgers. respond with a pen Amore hamburgers all day God is unlimited. And you remember if my chapter 6 mean Jesus fed? The 5000 what happened was the disciples would like man though. We've been out here teaching all day the apostles better and everything some people sit around long enough and they hungry can Michael Fellowship Sunday. You can smell all that food down and everybody's all day and I'm Spaceman.

They made if you can't.

But I don't have to do something about you what Jesus said he takes the fish and feeds the 5000 not only did he feed the 5,000 the Bible says if it's left over, I'm on my way to buy. Does that mean the apostles now had the responsibility of Distributing it sometimes that's why I don't have plenty of leftovers after this so you don't want to serve now. You will be serving later when Peter had his vision. And the nnn member that she came down with all these different animals that were in it in and I said, you know, what a rise and slay and Peterson.

He always putting something in something really brings you got to ham hocks in that they got him opportunity putting bacon in the oven.

unemployment if it aint before Google find something else. But you know last time I went over there I am here to see you in the washroom.

Making some people come over your house and wait for somebody to go in the bathroom, and I need to listen to hit a simple man.

And I know I shouldn't let the devil do this to me, but it's been plenty of times while I was in the bathroom and I turn the water on.

they got some sanitizer, you know, how

Only love but y'all.

One thing that would not focus on the most important thing. The god it's sitting at his table.

Yeah about how we going through things. Berlin on the map Matthew 5 and 6 Bible study Matthew 5 and 6 blessed are they that do what? the two most essential me to the existence of a human being food and water

Go ahead and try to go without. And see how far you get.

I'm looking for some more water right now. We need it and I'm glad Jesus uses this to work on us in terms of food for thought because blessed are they that hunger and thirst for righteousness?

It's almost getting so high on the hog today, which we got more hungry is. There's a difference between hungry and want to eat.

There's a big difference between hungry and want to eat because hungry means whatever is available.

What are you may just that what I wanted?

You have been in time with one thing. And not evil nothing. I want McDonald's Wendy's I want Burger King.

But I don't like McDonald's fries and I don't like Wendy's nuggets that I'd only like Burger King's onion rings.

Nothing for the family. Hey y'all. Let's go to McDonald's because we're going to pick something off the dollar menu.

Rarity of all of this food for thought and is trying to say is you don't have to be afraid to see if people know about your righteousness for they won't challenge you because you because they know you spend your time with Sinners and you're not choosy about your Evangelistic opportunity. The Apostle Paul was in jail because he was preaching the gospel and wow. He was there when you say Philemon on Philemon, but here's the thing.

The apostle was there and because he was there he had that Evangelistic opportunity. We need to stop being choosy all the time. Then Luke chapter 14 lesson now, I don't have to have to go through the whole. But I will mention a few things along the way I want you to read Luke chapter 14 and in parentheses. Call no almond picking.

He's whipped for the Paramore means by Allman picking my brother much to my father's dismay was in Almond picker and around the holidays. As you know, how many of the traditionally you just get some Bowl War trailer or something. That only comes out at the holidays and put it on your coffee table or wherever you don't put and of course, my father said dish filled with nuts while we were watching the Heat and the itis my brother would fish. the ball to pick out all the iPhone

my father hated this because then he would be only walnuts pecans and other wax and Facebook was Allman. Some of us 3 hours Spiritual Living the same day. We can like almond pick, right? If it's been kind of Christians that have money then I'll feel better about them positioned in a certain place to go be with them at a Luke chapter 14 may remember the story in Jesus parable about one who has to have one piece and he told the servant go ahead and come to the feet and the servants went out and he said Lord. I talked to one guy and he said you don't just bought a couple of oxen mean.

Are you still worried about that new car on neighbors bad kids sitting on his car while he's not at home that he's a hostage in his own home cuz he got to oversee his new car. I just got married man risk.

It's okay if we just get. Then it just becomes the dinner that no one even wants to attend.

Johnson you know the Bible.

We start hanging out with them. If it's a deacon kids start hanging out with the elders kids with no back.

We're always trying to be. Jonah Hill

the Westside

Not acid.

Here I am.

Jesus said judge not lest what?

Bible teaches us that when it comes to the Lord's family.

Mention that means that means I was baptized in the interracial conjugation of that. Maybe did not have that experience. And it wasn't that way all the time. But when I knew it was time to get back to my roots and time for some personal growth. I had to put myself in a setting that would challenge me. If not for me that meant I had to abandon some ideas about nationalism and putting that before my Christianity and my face. I no longer will refer to myself as a black Christian. If you're not, but I'm not going to refer to you as a Christian.

Because it's not about you. Okay? It's about your investment in your face. And you will be too. In a battle was what the devil is talking about. I ain't got time to be picked and choose what I could care less. If someone that is white is going to help me on the westside of Chicago. Remove the sleeves of brother you the man I need to do to work with.

I put myself out there.

either you all in.

Where you all at?

Did you all end on your face? Will you look up and you going to be all outfit? Not all the time investment bad to have estimate. the more I let go of the more God gives me the hold on. I got to let go of prejudice. In order for God to put me in every possible situation to win a solo for cracks. I've got to get out of that mirror sometime and stop worrying about straight or Crooked Creek of the people that are trying to save their soul ain't worried about whether my bow tie is crooked or not or whether my fingernail polish match or cul-de-sac with my Afro used to be a commitment. If you know what you ain't one of the other I don't want you anymore. Like I can't use you at least if you are high bid I can put you with the hottest and recoup some of that.

If God is rejecting something about you this very carefully for the pain would see it.

It's all right. What we need to do brothers and sisters. Is make the purpose and cause of Jesus Christ and the centerpiece? I will finish it and it will be received better and it will be more productive. Don't be afraid to eat with Sinners. Jesus said I didn't come to save The Righteous no leg. If you being in some righteous as you are if you needed me, you know, I would have known that Jesus said I came to save the prostitutes in the immortal in the gangsters in the bank robbers in in all of them those that cuts and drink a negative connotation.

I know some of y'all thinking about you.

It supposed would go so far as the judge on closer.

But what you may not know is I was helping pooping in clean up. I was hoping to get this garbage up so that I neighborhood won't look like a pigsty. I was hoping poop him to lift our property value are now, I'm trying to help and I'm not concerned. It's not for me to be seen with a cent for me to avoid with the word of God needs to see the thing about it is it's not what I am to gain all the time. So people need the exposure to what God is talking about. I'm concerned about them enough to just point them to Jesus. You know everything.

Can see it? I hope Did your hard enough has been considered?

Don't be afraid.

Be in a bachelor. with the Gods That you print.

Don't be afraid. Nothing's going to happen to you. If you come over my house. Did you eat some of my good cooking with all that pork in it?

Say grace before you come in. That's what I can read. I didn't see those panels.

Email you can forget that.

God is counting on me.

Let us be those that go out and encourage that do not judge and whatever you do. Whatever you do. Help your brothers and sisters that don't consider it a risk. To be with the Sinners because one day and it may not have been long ago. That was you.

One day there was you. Someone cared enough Bible says with John 3:16 God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, but have everlasting life. If you believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God reward yourself be all new. Don't get all the way to the idea of being committed to God and then turn around and don't do it because you're afraid to head like it with you believe in God and change your life be all in and make the difference that is important. The boy working talked about this particular race of people. I don't mess around with you is because they keep the Delta fish. You know you can you can eat it. moped with me

the bottom line

you need to make that change be all. We need to confess Jeep but we sitting at the dinner table and you're looking at that leg of lamb that big ol HoneyBaked Ham. They got $70 on the ham and you not going to talk about the Lord knows 2Pac. You believe him if you heard him if you going to change if you going to confess is only one thing you need to do to be all in. I ain't talked about sprinkling and saying that it's okay. I mean, I mean if you can do that today, but today is the best thing if you believe that you need to give your life to the Lord and even do this if it's not that you be to be that time, but you need to put yourself in a position with God that you can still work with him. I can't work with him with you if iniquity is your problem. It's send is your problem. If commitment is your you would never get the Mountaintop experience and Faith with a Nike hat attendance.

members of the family

Are you prepared to accept the Lord today rather had to him that he had selected if I don't get to come to your house for dinner for Easter? Methyl a man and we can sit down and talk about how we can last the entire world and God bless you. The time has come for you. Let us stay.
