Out Reach The List

So we've been talkin in the series about Outreach about being mobile and we talked about how Jesus before you and Outreach there was something that happened to him when he met John he gets baptized by the spirit and then he gets tested be led by the spirit and then God gives him his first disciples and it wasn't because Jesus did anything when Jesus got his first disciple. It isn't because you said hey guys, I'm the Messiah. It was actually because of John's testimony John begin to speak. He says the whole the Lamb of God and all of a sudden two of his disciples hear that to John's disciples and then immediately transfer Ministry Ministry and they go to his ministry. A lot of time. We are highly offended when people transfer

we don't like that.

Plumber tell you when you're working and functioning in the kingdom of God. There is always going to be transfer students.

The beginning of Jesus's Ministry started with people who are already trained.

How many people in here have been two other churches beside this one?

Everyone needs to know you're a transfer student.

And that's okay.

because it was because these people

John's disciples they began to do the first Outreach and we're going to dive into that little more you have the outline to fill out. It's going to be a little worried.

I want you to dive with me here and then we're going to do an activation. To pick it up from the scriptures last time we understood the transfer students then immediately went to their friends and family.

And Jesus encountered their friends and family.

after that, Jesus encounters fill up pull up then goes and tells Nathaniel and the Daniel gets a double whammy and you guys always remember Philip was married. Because you gave detail. Everyone else that we found them beside of a Philip said there's this guy his name is Jesus from Nazareth. Kia you know The Carpenter's son. That's him is the Messiah the one we're looking for like Philip gave detail and that's how you knew he was married. That's how I like to do is married, man. All the other guys like we found the Messiah a guy answer, right?

Until we learned that after a personal Encounter With Jesus. It's stirred them as the immediately did something love you want the scripture passages. I want you to write this down because we went over this last week, but the scripture passages is John 1:35 through 42. I'm not going to read all this again. I'm going to tell you to write it down and look it up.

Cuz I have to teach today.

And basically this is the transaction between John and Jesus and then it goes on and tells you what are the transfer students. Did they went to find her brother and you found his brother Simon Peter? Did I love Simon Peter, but you Jesus gave him an encounter with him, but you got to realize Jesus meets Peter at this time. And he says your name will no longer be Peter, but it will be suspicious. And Peter did not follow in that day.

The biggest scary saying it out reached is someone not following when we open up and share.

kind of right What do you what do you say?

Come on.

That's the principal.

Jess has happened. Yes, they will.

Then you can call you a weirdo. Haven't called weird. I kind of like it.

commercially weird Heavenly great

The reason why we hold back is because of that word rejection or how they're going to take it. It is never about the response. It's about us being obedient to What God Says do. If you can grab a hold of that it is never about how someone responds to you. Jesus said himself the world cannot reject you because you were Jacks. A scripture before. Did you already doodle down the slide? I like it.

Do you said they don't reject you, but they reject me.

So when you're carrying the message of the Cross people will reject you. Just got to be okay with that like if you can get through that part you'll become Unstoppable. I'm serious.

Suggested my friend. He ain't married stop Mary ladies.

That doesn't want to be married right Finchley not rushing it, right.

your recovery ejected

But you got over it, didn't you? You're going fishing again, right?

Picture of a spider that sounds weird to talk about this and we're talkin about Outreach, right? but eventually you're going to find the right fish. And that's the one you're going to take home and put on a plaque and you're going to push the button.

It is going to look at you and talk say take me to the River movie in the water. Yes, don't work. You have you spell set up your house?

What is the temperature with Outreach when people are going to say no, but if you're afraid of their know if you're afraid of people's know, then you'll be prideful if someone says yes.

And you won't give God the glory. You'll take it for yourself.

And then you walk around thinking you're a Hotshot. Instead of saying God is moving through me. Pride before the big fall

you have to live in a place and I am being obedient to what God says that because I have to because I want to and I did too and guess what I'm going to sow seeds regardless if something grows or not. I'm going to sell so I'm going to tell you the only time something doesn't grow is when the birds came and ate it.

Those are the birds represent demonic spirits, but in any other scenario whether it was Stoney, whether it was storming and whether it was good ground it always produce.

That we can dive in and save the reason why those two soils didn't was because of this, but I'm going to give you two remedies after the most simplest remedies for I keep it simple.

The stones represent they didn't have death to persecution came and they ran away. They they gave up it's because he weren't disciple into the word of God.

The thorny ground is simple way only represents because they loved the things of the world more than God. It's a lack of worship in their life.

Dude, when you're being disciple into the word and you worship you start loving God more than the things in the world. Not just because his word says so but because you have the heart connection to God.

And so the things of this world grow strangely dim. As you fix your eyes on him.

It's not saying that you don't enjoy Call of Duty. That's not what that means. Trust me. You don't play me a Call of Duty. Andrew may be a marksman, but in Call of Duty II rule. And just like I will see about that.

emphasis on Christ So if you have your hand. We're going to look at that first one the first list that you guys are going to begin to work on. It's called the transformation list.

If there's no target chances are you're never going to hit?

It is called your transformation list also known as the tea list. Your tea list will contain people who are not born-again Believers, but are in your sphere of influence to some degree.

Windows disciples heard about Jesus being really went to their sphere of influence. They went to their friends and family.

Some of their friends list some of their family and I'm going to tell you after on your transformation list at this stage and her session Supernatural and relational Outreach has needed to encourage people to receive Jesus as the Messiah.

What does that intercession is needed? It looks like Thursday's when we meet and we pray for the church. We pray for the Lost. We pray for people. We begin to soak people in prayer and soaked in prayer. Lake where you couldn't pray for yourself, but you knew people were praying for you because Chris came they will knows what I'm talkin about.

That's what intersection does it shows people in prayer. Maybe that maybe you don't maybe that's a little far-fetched. Maybe it's easier. If you ever cook something and the oven like heavy casserole and you go to clean the pan and it's caked on there. Do you guys know what I mean? It's caked on there or whatever.

So what are you do? What do you soak it in? Sean thought we used to use soap and water and Dawn and we we still get some people so cute overnight some people still looking for a couple hours. We just let it sit there. That's what intersection does the people's lives.

It's so sad. So sending God whether they know it or not. And what begins to happen is the things that were taped on them. Come on for a while. How easy does it come off then? But it's not a lot of stress and it is there that you might have to use something like a scraper sometimes but it comes off.

when you show people in prayer the stuff that hinder them from receiving Jesus because the come off. When we soak each other in prayer guess what the old man because the come off.

And we put on the new. Cuz he just can't stick to us anymore.

This is the stage that we're at as a church family as a community of Believers. We're at a transformation stage. We're at the stage where we need to make a list of people.

Like I said, everyone wants a move of God, but not many people want to move with God. What do you want to do?

Who knows who Shawn Floyd is?

Guess who Sean's voices who who knows but you can't talk cool. Who is David?

Okay, what's so significant about him?

How active?

Okay. Kathy Sean Ford, what do you know about him?

I love it.

He has curly hair he does do this really could get some. Yeah. Yeah, it's kind of rattles a little it's really cool. He does have curly hair. I love it. detail

but during covid-19 the shutdown sound for began to have worship services on the beach.

And people would begin to come. In the midst of a shutdown and then you didn't just stay in California where I think he started he begin to do it everywhere. He even did it open Cleveland Indians pretty big and crazy and it was outside.

Yep, they were trying to shut the beaches down because it got so big see what happens is that many people want to want a move of God, but not many want to move with God.

So they're waiting the world creation is waiting for sons of God to manifest.

It's growing actually someone Shonda this guess what it gave the church another president to be like why we shut down again. Like if the bars are open, how come we can't be? Did you know in California? They said it was essential for strip clubs to be open and not churches.

And I'm not here to beat things down. I'm here to give perspective. Two sounds like you were going to do something different and they were calling it the second Jesus people movement.

Because he started the same and he even plays a guitar from the original Jesus people movement. He has a vintage guitar. really cool

What would it look like?

If we would begin to live radical. I'm not saying go to the beach in the winter time. There's one up the street down do it is cold. I wish you wouldn't take a Polar Plunge for Jesus.

Who you got you down for that sounds like fun. I heard it's really good for your body and immune system. I'm actually would be down for that would like to think about that later.

It was like you're out of your mind. board look like

At this stage intersection in Supernatural and relational Outreach you guys no relational outreaches.

Oh, man.

Yeah, absolutely.

Hart Gym

I'll bring you a mic.

Tell him that when we were in the Thursday meeting if you don't mind sharing there is this guy who works at your company and your building you build a relationship with him, right? Yes a little bit about that. I've been praying for just one family in our company and there's three of them that work there all in the same family. And one of the younger ones has been coming up to me and get to know me really well, so I started them in and gave him a book of John to read and Lauren. How's it going with them as you curious? Yeah, he went to church last week and he called me up right after you went to church. This is a white guy and he went to a black all black culture shotgun and it was

they let he liked it and it was okay. But that started because you build a relationship with him. Didn't start by you preaching at them by you. Just caring about someone outside of yourself. Thank you.

That's what relational Outreach looks like.

It's you befriending people.

And whether he would be interested in God or not. You still would be friends m? Because it's about the relationship.

You guys know what I mean?

I wish Bonnie was here. She had a story to share. I don't see her.

Okay next week. I'll get her to see her is going to be good. Relational it's just that simple befriending and I'm not befriend in for underhand motives so they can pray a prayer so I can go and brag the people saved.

It's actually so that you can build a relationship and friendship and then at through that line. We'll connect with their hearts.

Yeah, the other Outreach is called Supernatural Outreach.

Supernatural reach isn't really me trying to build a relationship with you. It may be used to start a relationship with you. But the purpose is to demonstrate the love and the authority in Kingdom of God. That's like when you're at a gas station and God gives you a word of knowledge for the person pumping gas next to you. And this has happened and you're pumping gas leak. Excuse me. Yeah. What do you want? Hey, man. Listen, I just got to talk to me. I hear my heart go boom boom, and then they look at you while they're pumping gas break down. And they get to do so want to see me like this is an invitation for you to have relationship with God.

Sometimes it's healing sometimes is laying hands on someone out in public and him getting killed or are worried later on being healed guy.

About a month ago.

about

Yeah.

That is awesome. It is awesome. Yes.

Yes.

Yes. Yes. They're working this prayer Works guys, and it is effective. Or hearing is different ways that God wants to make each one of our Lives effective. Now there's different. We might fit different places on the transformation list on how we handle things but and we may do a different than others by the ways Ackley do it may not be the way I do it. It doesn't make my way better. Exactly not good. It means that we are different people and God will use them in different ways to accomplish his heart's desire.

Do we have to be okay with that my goal here is to make give you guys tools. tools that you can use

to buy Kevin

Do you have a bunch of? nails

and I give you a screwdriver. Is that any used to you?

You could try to hit it with a screwdriver.

Break the handle of a screwdriver.

Listen to the reason why I just we talked that way is because people are different and if you try to use a hammer on a screwdriver, it's probably not going to be good.

never tried that if you ever tried to hammer screw in I have how that go. It doesn't work, right. When dealing with people we must be led by the spirit of God because he knows what that person needs to hear. Just like when Matt hurt his heart that he needs to hear the gospel. Can you see the Plan of Salvation? Just like Jim's befriending this guy and he's it's really cool and he's become an open door. He goes to a church.

Babysit first question is God even care for me and then you walk up and you don't even know why but you all you hear is this one simple thing? I just want to tell you you're wonderfully and fearfully made God loves you and you just walk away. And they're like, that's what I needed to hear.

I want you guys to be led by the spirit, but I also want you to have tools so the spirit can show you which one of you's For What scenario you may find yourself in? The next list and this is what we've progressed will be called the loveliest. The Loveless is really cool.

So you have the T the L and the loveliest is simply a list of foods consist of people who are born again Believers, but have not been Disciple This list should include new and old Believers regular and irregular Church of tenders When approaching people on this list, it is imperative to measure where they are spiritual and identify their desire to grow.

You're good. It is imperative that you measured your willingness to grow.

The one way that you can measure someone's willingness to Girls by giving them a personal survey. That's why we even try that. Didn't move I do apologize. It is my fingers. There we go. But why would you give a survey like you know how many people like chocolate cake?

How many people like vanilla cake? How many people like donuts?

glazed or maple

going know what we just did was just a brief survey just now around the room.

So I know not to bring cake but Donuts. Because more people like donuts then fighting over or chocolate cake Donuts. It's the variety.

We just did a survey just to measure things sometimes in people's lives. You got to measure how where they have right now.

Once they move off the transformation list, they go to the love list. and after the love list

cuz the goal is to make disciples right? It's just not the win people to the Lord is to build in them. Disciple them love them acquit them to grow. The last list that you move them to you after the loveliest. Did you guys get all this already? Can I change the slide? The last list is called the coach list. The coach list is comprised of people with how are they going to grow where they want to grow at? I think I have a group that I'm starting a dive into maybe biblical understanding or ryy church or whatever topic teach them just to your green to go into your small group. The purpose of this list is to continue to pray for them that they would fulfill their commitment to betrayed.

You're coaching them. Another word for coaching is discipling.

the receipt app That's scary. I don't know if I can do that.

Who in here likes to cook? I see Cooks. Hi Luke. Hi, buddy. We got to still make our barbecue sauce man. It's a sugar-free BBQ sauce that we're going to make. Yeah, I do like a guy something like that could be really good, but you like to cook right? What's your favorite thing to cook?

I'll do steaks are fun to cook steak.

What's your favorite way to cook them?

Would you be willing to teach people how to cook steaks?

Do you want to teach them? Like let me see what I do. Right that's coaching them your discipling them how to cook steaks. Maybe maybe cook it isn't your thing. Maybe you don't really care for cooking. Maybe you like doing something else.

play t you like to cook. Oh, what do you like to cook spaghetti? Do you cook different kinds of spaghetti or just the same time? Oh my goodness.

It's a family secret. Are you Italian but it's your secret but she likes to cook spaghetti. But if you wanted to learn how to cook spaghetti, baby, not your secret spaghetti way with

She taught people there till it's cool to say you have disable people and how to cook spaghetti.

Chilean where should we do right? Help fat people into singing right seeking Harmony. So is it cool to say you're like discipling people and how to worship.

You do woodworking. Have you ever taught someone how to make things? So you decide what someone in woodworking? Kathy

sewing quilting if you ever taught someone how to do that. And you can walk them through it see what we're finding. It is we're finding out is everyone is in this room is already a coach to some degree.

a lot of times because we use the word disciple with scary.

disciple maker But when we look around the room, there's a lot of people have Coach people regardless if you know it or not. from sewing to baking to woodworking

the goal is to see how your natural coaching gift that God put in each one of us. Can we partnered with God's Supernatural ability to grow people?

Go for it.

Jess

yeah.

You made it.

Did your right there still take this place of audacity that are hard to be like, you know, I'm going to try it. Imma see what happens.

Jesse Cordes

That is scary.

Are you willing to follow God where recalls you at? What he says for you to do.

That like dude. That sounds like scary. But that's what actually got calls to do you reading your Bible in the book of Acts? It's full of it.

But each one and every one of us has a coach at some degree. Until the final thing is to see where you are a coach at and allow God to partner that gift that you have naturally with his Supernatural ability and watch what he does.

How do you make your list will always start in proximity will always start.

with your inner community

your inner Community is one of the most important communities you have. Community is a community that is allowed to your you're allowed to influence, but it's the community that influences you back.

This can be comprised of friends and family mainly is friends and family. It could also be comprised of people in society that you allowed to speak into your life.

Such as authors of books. politicians actors YouTubers ministers That was the new Tik tokers. Dude, yeah, you start falling Tik Tok. That's a new tranny. You try and hurt yourself or you try calisthenics at the gym and you fall on your knee. That's what happened with my inner circle.

I didn't get hurt though. Did I know I look hard you look face.

the next group is going to be where you have to be diem in force. That is that is your personal Community this represents like your sport Kali it represents your church shirt should be no it represents your church.

Here you have influence, but you also can be enforced as well.

And finally the last one where you at minimum community and minimum influence is the wider community. When you make your trance your transformation list, it will be comprised of people and the interpersonal and wider community.

The reason why there's that self-control there. That's you. Who's in charge of influence who's in charge of you? you are you're in charge of what you let influence you you're in charge of who you let influence you. You're in charge if you want if you going to let God influencer you're in charge of that. No, I heard there's someone say to me like, you know, God doesn't God. God doesn't really influence me at all. So I said he doesn't know. I like while I have you read your Bible. No. Do you listen to any type of worship music?

You hang around other believers know?

So why do you think God is an influencer?

Do you see the reason why I got is in a full team? Cuz they're not allowing. His influence is that

cool

you go to Walmart gym ever going to Walmart. Do you know everyone in Walmart? That's the wider community? People you really don't know. You don't really know them. They don't know you you're just in a checkout line at a gas station. You're at a restaurant and your waitress or waiter. Do you only know them because their name tag? Or if you know them personally, but most the time you really don't know them. That is the wider community.

Personal Community just isn't your church. It's also any type of clubs that you're apart of. book club sewing Club golf club club gym club Yeah, I go to three different gyms. Don't tell my wife.

Delete why let me explain myself.

Grace Women's Health set the one gym, they got certain type of equipment and its really good. Put the other gym. It's a me. And you threw a different environment and people have crazy amount of equipment a guy's a hoarder for equipment. So it's really nice. And then there's the family Jam called the YMCA. Can I take my whole family to because the kids can swim be in daycare then swim and week me and my wife can work out. Do I have my reasons?

I don't know if they're good ones or not. Right now I work.

The gyms are my wider community.

That's where I'm like talking to people about Jesus. It's at the gym is my own personal Community where people who are members of a thing together. Working on a specific goal together and in that place you can build relationships. In your personal Community, that's where I want you to focus on relational Outreach.

So me and Cassie we go to like my outfit together, right and we get to know the same type of a physical therapist, right and it's almost like we got this, or even though she made a different times that I do, but we know the same people. Bridges us closer in relationship

and you hurt me the one day. At least that's what I told her and I said I cried. And she's hurt me the next day then. She's tough to the women physical therapist are tougher than the guys are. on the clients

But that's where you build your relationships at you build your relationships and the inner and in the personal but I'm going to tell you in those areas you can still do Supernatural Outreach, but it's really going to impact the people at the wider community. You don't know God you start giving random people words of Knowledge from God. It moves him you do it in your personal Community. It moves them the goal. Is that you hear from God and you float. So this is the last thing I want you guys to do.

From that list. I want you guys to comprise your transformation list. the transformation list

are people

who are not born again Believers? I want you to write out and if there's 10 of 123 listen. Write as many as you can think of.

Write their names down.

Oh, yeah. It's okay. We have time this is like the end of the sermon. Your transformation list write that down.

You ever watch a dog chase its tail.

I don't know that that's me. That is so funny. It's it works really hard at going nowhere.

What's Travis run around a circle?

That's how the church looks. When we don't focus and we don't have directional what God calls us to do.

And eventually want to bite her own tail.

We might see it differently from a sale. That guy's being a pain in my kale

But that's what happens when we're not focused on. God says so we go round and round and round.

Baby, this making a list is challenging you.

Baby is very challenging.

I do for me at times it is.

Cuz it's almost like step one if I make a list it gives me like Direction.

Do wives know what that side don't you you make your husband a list to give them Direction? Here's your to-do list, honey. For us as a church. It's important for us to make a list.

Individually in our lives cuz he gives his targets of what we're praying for Direction. The Ganges of marksman, but could you imagine if he went to a competition and they didn't put any Targets up? Debbie like yeah, there's no nothing to hit.

when we do not have targets. It is pointless.

Yes.

Jess

yes. Yes.

Yes.

our joy becomes. Cats

yes. It becomes so pointless.

That's right. So this is your tea list also known as a hit list.

Because we're going to write these names out. I want you to keep those names because we're going to pray over them. We're going to first so come. And then we're going to challenge each other with accountability. But you know why you know, it's fun. So I work out with these two guys at the gym, right so You should not lift more than me. Now. He does at some places my Eagles still hurt and get you it challenges me like you do. I haven't been able to do legs. And this dude and this dude the size of squat 500 400 lb I know when I go to the workout my legs are nowhere near there. But that doesn't mean I'm not going to work my legs out with them. Do you know why I will it's going to challenge me to get better.

They're going to challenge me the areas where I'm weak at. Like this to start doing all this calisthenics at the gym, and I'm like 30 9 right now. There's no way I'm going to do a muscle up. Are you sitting there moving like a gymnastics on stuff? I'm looking at him like.

I'm in bulk season. But seriously, it's exciting because it challenges me to grow and areas that I never would have.

Without them being a part of my life in that capacity.

We're going to challenge each other in these areas. What's accountability?

It is going to be uncomfortable.

Not in anger, but it's going to be uncomfortable.

But that's what we grow at any uncomfortability.

Cuz some people you can you maybe like I don't like people.

I don't like people, okay. Come on, we're going to go out. We're going to love people.

You crazy with other person who says well, I keep people at a distance while we're going to work on building relationships.

The reason why so you can become more effective and that we as a church group become more effective at what God called us to do because that's what's going to transform the world around us guys.

Okay, so next week we're going to be diving more into your tea list. We're going to learn different relational ways of building relationships from we're going to learn to really get into the supernatural activations and stuff. We're going to get into that. But for now, we're just going to go practical that okay. Take a practical way to sometimes we try to leave so much in the Supernatural that we don't do anything practical anymore like opening up the door for someone to walk in. Why didn't you open the door of God didn't tell me to.

Forgot to tell you to be a nice person.

Got to go to Smiley like you when you're walking by to say hi to someone Optical simple.

But the Practical things will be the diving board for the supernatural things.

I will finish them closing up with this. I was in Rite Aid the other day. And these guys are Rite Aid so I grabbed one of these out of my truck. And I go hey, buddy. I walked in there. I don't even know the guy. He's like

So, what's your name? Barbara why did my name is tattooed. He's like, okay. Did you just move to the music? I'm out here because my girlfriends out here dude restoration Chapel. Registered voter in the church, that's simple and practical.

Stop hard.

Who need some of these?

So this is what I'll do there's some that should be some out in the front if you need some come see me after service so you can get some of these standout the people. It's just a simple way and that's actually still in seed.

Yes. Yes. It is very simple. All right. Let's pray.

Papa is where on this adventure about reaching? And I'm learning how and not just learning but activating it and starting to Growing it. I'm asking that you created us. creative ideas show us ways that we can do it. that may be different but that can encourage other people as they hear show us how To allow you to flow through us. and in the formalities of our everyday life

take what we would consider my dang it make it miraculous.

Help us be open in our hearts to it. It helped us be yielding to your spirit. edible fall Lord, give us such a
