Out Reach Believe

what are you aiming to do in your life? Because it Church community work called actually make disciples everything else flows from their workshop preaching. Services everything else flows from there and that's if these things are not the end of but they're the beginning and to their supposed to be there to help create disciples to help facilitate that with the number one thing that we need. We need. I'll reach

yeah. Your to-do list so that you soak people in prayer.

Have you ever been bored? Ford like not aboard and it would have been bored

Bless you. Watch Ed Edd n Eddy grow up in you. He know about playing I see you smile. Really go. Yeah.

I'm bored. Why do people get bored?

Why? Nothing to do what else?

You're watching a movie and got bored.

Doesn't keep your attention. What is the most boring the movie you can think of?

Dude, that hurts. That was just that was like verbal abuse right there in WoW.

What is The Giver? What did you do the movie called Abraham Lincoln, right and I set to watch that movie and they're talkin in like the dialect way back there. And the more they talk the worse it got.

I'm about halfway through I clicked it off.

I can't take it.

Is your Christian Life boring?

You said you said yes, but you make it was you.

God I heard you. That was you I heard you buddy. Go ahead o ya was boring and you replied yes. Thank you for your honesty though, cuz that's because a lot of us don't want to even admit that do it cuz we don't want to look like the bad about it. Why is your Christian Life boring?

There's no other way cuz I'm not involved enough. I don't know.

What we what would you say? It's part of the most boring part? It's not like there's a it's not like it's boring. It's more like

I can't explain it. Like there's I'm just not active in anything. Basically. It's just like a label at this point, you know.

What is bored?

Sometimes speaking to Mike sometimes. How's your prayer life?

What do you think is like make that makes Christianity boring though? Are the repetitiveness?

Thank you for your honesty.

Would you guys agree? That sometimes doing the same thing over and over again gets boring. Unless you really enjoy the activity. Like every week I go to the gym. And I really enjoy it. Ivan wake up extra early for the kids wake up to go because I learned if I don't wake up early. Enough the kids are going to wake up and I got to put on my dad shirt not my gym shirt.

But I enjoy it because I enjoy it. I do the same thing over and over but do you know what tomorrow is going to be? It's going to be back there? As in the day after that's going to be chest and I'm either going to work my legs out. I'm going to cry a little. But then I'm going right back to the gym to do back again.

To someone else like when we are on vacation. My wife is like where you going? I'm like to the gym. Are you out of your mind?

She's a time like no. She's like, why would you go to the gym we can relax on the beach.

Because that's how I relax. It's enjoyable to me. Are crystallized sometimes the mundane or the monotonous of things gets so boring and you're under this is not on your gee. Thanks for being honest because a lot of us don't want to admit. Sometimes it gets boring who all wants to be on.

These are Christians in here.

Oh shoot. It gets boring. When when does he get born until you did the reason why I can keep going to the gym is because I got some games going.

I got some James dude. I'm so focused on games. I refuse to wash my clothes and anything but games.

Take my fence went up my pill if went off and I can't squat yet. So let's not talk about that.

But when you start seeing results everything shift, doesn't it? When you start seeing results in your life things shift your Focus Shift, I don't know about you you ever work somewhere that you don't want to work out, but you got the paycheck you like to do another week.

Why is that the results? What have I told you guys that unless your Christian life has results. It's going to be boring.

Unless you're paralyzed produces fruit. It's going to be boring.

Marriage is never boring cuz I'm 10 years and I'm still trying to figure my wife how.

She knows me. Well, though absolutely.

I love you.

What if I told you your your Christian Life is supposed to be a crazy adventure?

We don't we admire I think I think you were sharing about the Ozarks, right you shared but but the thing is she's she still she went through some things but you still meeting with women and things are still changing over there.

Jess and because of that it no longer is boring but not in this mon dang. We will get bored. You know why because God never intended.

God never intended for you to get bored with them. Is I don't know about that. You know, it's going to take alternity to get to know God.

Timeless every moment don't be revealing a new aspect a death that I mention of who he is to us to where we'll go.

What is the last time God woju?

I dare make a bold statement. You cannot live in the fear of the Lord is less. You been World by God.

most people say the fear of the Lord they want you to be terrified of God and not in our

When's the last time you've been in the house of God?

Yes, we're talkin about Outreach. The title is believe but when have you been all by God? And your personal life?

Absolutely. I agree with you 100%

when you read his where did you just touch right now? Just talking about his work because something I found out that I didn't know. Yes, talk about it fresh Revelation when God reveals something to your heart personally. I don't know that's exciting. We got to sit there and talk to my parents like 2 hours about one thing.

Talk to someone else. Hey, buddy. Did you know this and it's exciting?

When's another time you've been all by God? Because let me tell you sometimes he wants to be honest again, sometimes you're reading your Bible just to read it because you know, you should read it and there's really nothing inspiring you about it. Who wants to be honest?

If this is not happened to you yet read the book of numbers.

Read the book of numbers man. I'm telling you. I remember. You do the Bible in a year, right? I made it. I skipped though. Is that book 10 more 10,000 of this tribe 7,000 of that try and then you have to pronounce all the weird name like his offense. Yeah, dude.

This is not a beat that I'm telling you something here. So yeah, but sometimes in your reading life it gets boring.

Sometimes in your prayer life it gets bored you ever feel like you're praying to the ceiling.

Give her just start playing camo Praise Jesus. You have it. What will do. I hope you never experience that I said, I hope you never but if you have experience praying and it feels so monotonous.

Some odd things just the same old same.

What year was born? I mean fat Catholic. Catholic

Sorry for the delay. I saw the light bulb. Come on.

That is so funny.

When you are Catholic, right?

What is something that you can remember that was the same way every time and even if you never been to Catholic church, it's just there.

When they say the Hail Marys and the prayers and it's so like bubba bubba bubba bubba bubba bubba bubba, it's not like thank you God for this. It's a river.

Us Catholics believe that is that is that a that's true?

As Christians we probably know the Lord's Prayer right or the 23rd psalms and we can drive recited or even John 3:16.

Yes. Yes the Apostles Creed the Nicene Creed and then the band Creed. Hold Me Now

Why do I have some people who knew that song dude? Oh cool.

But why why is it monotonous? Why why does it become ritualistic we saying about coming out of take my traditions take my religion, but somehow we got stuck in the same place as being Christians and it becomes boring this most powerful thing on earth can become so boring to us when it we're not living and functioning from that place.

Even Sunday to be boring.

You know, what are they? He laughed about it. He's thinking my Xbox right now, and I'm preaching. Depends on what game I'll be okay with no end. But why why does this happen?

Yeah.

Yes.

Yes, so we're going to paraphrase what you're saying is that we have to be in community relationship to see results come forward that will create excitement in us that's versus song. I think that's a scripture in there. another one

The reason why things get my dang in our lives is because number one, we're not we're not doing our part.

There it is. Say it loud and proud.

You said that long? So I thought you were going to say yes. We just got needs us. We don't believe God needs us. How many people that statement is challenging your theological geology right now? How many people that challenging your theology? Good good be honest cuz we're going to talk about it.

You may have been talked. God doesn't need you. right

But according to the laws that God has given on Earth. He cannot do nothing without man's permission.

But he God himself. limits its activity based on man's permission because the Bible says Earth is given to who

I need to order it was like a wow moment and it just didn't happen.

Earth God has given to me.

You say top I don't believe you. It wasn't until Adam a God showed up. When God wanted to spare Earth he looked for who mad his name was Noah when God wanted to bring a promised seed who did he go to? Come on Avery. Okay. Want to set up a kingship? Who did he go to?

When God wanted to bring the Messiah who did he go to?

Oh shoot. Yes, you did go to.

I'm suing you something.

Until God has our permission. He can't do something. JoJo Charles your theology right now.

You might say that I don't know about that. What about Egypt Israelites? He needed permission of who he wanted to liberate Israel. So who did he find? Moses and with Moses cooperation there became a cooperation between God and man. In Jewish culture, that is the biggest event but to Christians it is probably the second biggest event. The first is Jesus.

God always looks for you to partner with him.

I don't know about that tap to who still is that kind of like her ready for this unless you agree with God that Jesus is the Messiah. You cannot get transformed in the heart.

men's agreement with God men's permission Jesus I want you to live in me I give you my heart. Be my Lord be my savior your agreement with God all of a sudden things change.

It absolutely yes. Come on, let's be real. I mean, I don't know about you guys, but we say God we want you to do something but sometimes

Come on, man. Yeah.

But God I want I want to listen my goal is to go straight that he takes you in zig zag lines. You do but why is there zig zag why some people say well because I'm not listening. No because God doesn't want you to rely on you. He wants you to rely on him.

Absolutely. Absolutely. So you're saying that if we do things our way we missed out on what God has called us to.

Yeah.

No, I don't know about you guys, but I've been talkin and I don't think we read any Scripture halfway.

I think we need five with a back at don't you agree. I totally agree. I believe in everything that we preach and teach it must line up with the word of God. So if you have your Bibles turn to John we're back in the story of Jesus now, let me give you a brief history real quick. scholars believe that this is between 25 and 29 ad I don't even know why they even rotate did because the man didn't die at but they believe they did because you know, it's called after death. I would have called you WC with Christ or Emmanuel God With Us. But they decide to call it a d.

What you say? Yes 80.

So it says it's in scripture picking up in our story where Jesus called his first disciples. He has his first disciples with him the transfer students and some of their family who decides to see what Jesus is going to do. He gets invited to a wedding. I don't know about you, but I thought I would enjoy Jewish weddings a lot.

Mazel Tov check it out 2 days later Jesus mother was a guest at a wedding in the village of canine Galilee in Jesus and his disciples were invited to the wine supply ran out during the festivities and Jesus mother came to him with the problem.

I don't know but you found any pictures to go to Jesus DIY problem, right?

OSU, that's a joke guys. Let's move on.

I can't help you. He said it is in yet my time for miracles, but his mother told the servants do whatever he tells you to he tells you to six Stone water pots were standing there and there and they were used for Jewish ceremonial purposes and how perhaps 20 to 30 gallons each. Then Jesus told the servants. To fill them to the brim with water when this was done. He said get some out and take. It to the Master of Ceremonies when the Master of Ceremonies tasted the water that was now wine not knowing where it came from Dove course the servants. Did he call the bridegroom over this is wonderful stuff.

I don't want to read scriptures until I left to myself. I think if I was in his shoes, how would I felt?

Pizza jerk different from most usually a host uses the best wine first and then afterwards when everyone is full and doesn't care then he brings out the less expensive Brands, but you have kept the best for last this miracle at Cana in Galilee was Jesus first public demonstration of his Heaven Sent power in his disciples believe that day that he really was the Messiah.

What? Partnership dinghy happened here. Jesus said I ain't doing it right on doing it.

He said Mom at 8 my time.

Silly right? But I don't know if I'm still tempted to go to Walmart and switch around the water and Wine Sign.

I really am. Let's talk about the gym.

Do your good because I do know this business how we actually begin to gain understanding together as a group. It's like a Open Bible study on Mars. Jesus's first miracle turning water to wine That like yeah.

They want to avoid that with why would Christianity absolutely?

Don't don't tell him don't be drinking in heaven. No, don't do that. You're really thinks it's the price. Alright, let's talk about it. Do you have the Messiah right? Because if I get to a wedding feast and they run out of wine will what's going on to marriage wedding, right? So there is a covenant being made who establishes the who established the Covenant God did marriage isn't is made by God not by man.

But most of the time but God is the one who instituted. So Jesus is there with his disciples and they run out of wine and Jesus didn't even care about the problem. But his mom did his mom's like yo, she knew what she wanted. she's like, she's like she's like it's not my time yet, but then Mary said we'll see about that you servants you do whatever he says.

She might have been hosting are not hosting but like server whatever. I have no idea, but she was concerned about the why. I don't know who's getting married. That's not really certain scripture, and we're just talking about one Passage. What's look at it? Filling the Gap very so 22.

Bypass is what Jesus says.

She did it. She went straight to the people and said whenever he says to. Imagine these group of men coming to Jesus Jesus your mom. What do you want us to do?

I agree check.

guess

yeah. Come on, there it is. I would agree with that. Jesus made this seems as a child publicly, but the Bible says we're going to look at scripture accurately. Jesus said in the Bible says that poured out his glory emptied himself of his godhood and became fully mad though. He was still God Eternal. He chose not to use his God ability.

It's Daddy waiting for the Holy Spirit. And it was until he received the spirit the miracle started happening. Why do I say that because the Bible says so I do nothing of myself.

Let's move. Let's dive in a little more.

Mary knew pookie was why because what we celebrate during this season is the birth of Christ, but she knew about the conception of Christ. Sometimes people cannot perceive what God is conceiving inside of you.

Yeah, we're going to go to the prophetic day right now. receiving we know that the word is as a seed in the sea begins to produce within you. So when the see when you receive his word, it starts to formulate something within you other people may be unaware of who or what you are. But you and your heart Know Who You Are Because what God placed in you Mary knew who Jesus was because she had an encounter that verified that he is the Messiah so she came to him. Why did she come to admit this time? Because Jesus started having a crowd follow. Do you think Mama? No knew that something was different about her son.

Yes, but it was until the baptism. The spirit didn't come on him John saw the Spirit on him and he said well the Lamb of God, you know the date that the Pharisee said, well, you have jobs like no dude, but I'm telling you the one who sent me to baptize said it's going to be the one who the spirit lands on. The next day Jesus comes around and he says Behold the Lamb of God. This was after Jesus's 40 days fasting attempt it all. This is after that so he comes out of the Wilderness with a posse.

Come on, man. You got blisters in Jesus and his disciples go to a wedding Feast a wedding ceremony, and he's not alone anymore, right Jesus of Nazareth.

The Fabulous Five

do a Wi-Fi cuz you didn't have all 12 of them that his first-year ministry was collecting his second year was was was bill collecting and demonstrating your three of Christ Ministry.

So he's there at the wedding and his mom said whatever he says do because married perceived. There was something new about her son.

We're not going to focus on Mary where you focus on Jesus turning water to wine.

There were six pots, right?

There are six of them ever asked why there was a ceremony pots. Big Y What is even the significance of this miracle glass? 66 is the number of man, but if you have three of them together, don't do that.

I'm doing Bible jumps up here guys. That's the mark of the beast.

It was for ceremonial washing for cleansing.

But they were empty. They were empty. The Bible says that they were in the Bible says that they were empty. And so Jesus said fill them with water or six of them. Yes 6 is the number of man. They were what six because you were sick so we can distinguish. It was a number of man biblically cuz man was made in the Six-Day also, it can also a reference to the time. Let me show you guys ready watch. My fingers are going to be so cool already.

What? Adam to Noah to Noah to Abram 3 Abram the David for David to Babylon 5 Babylon Sean 6 the Messiah coming

it's showing with this man.

It's showing you that these different time periods. What's in the rain in let me tell you something during the middle of cutting Covenant the covenant could not bring something new it can only use for partially washing.

Because water in the Bible is always associated with the spirit, but also associated with new life get the stone pot from Limestone. It can only be one stone. They had to learn how to do it. The Bible says that he will take out your own part of and Jesse one new hard love

we're seeing the symbolism your way. Jesus said she's like, okay go get those six things because I'm because I only do what I see my father doing. And because I just need the number of man and also the time. Then I'm getting ready to do a new thing because God is going to make a new covenant. So fill them up with water why the first Covenant was god-given but man generated the second is God giving him. God generated.

So he begins to say get the water. And it's funny. He didn't say stir it around. This is no different to give it to the guy. You know, I'd like to know I don't know if I would have been like, okay, I'll take it. We didn't do that. They went and gave it to give it to the head.

And he took what was mondaine he took what was normal he took what was an everyday thing item of used and because of who he is and the revelation of who he is Boom. He turned water that was normal at you something miraculous in the Bible wine is always associated with joy

Wine makes the heart.

Make people get Julie to I seen it.

He says I'm giving you new. Why? Why because there's a new thing coming? Is the new thing here is going to bring joy.

Now and if you reading your Bible is that John's Johnson counted this he always writes in the sides. Do you know there's a difference between a sign and a miracle?

It was just be honest here.

Where in church?

in our context of thinking nowadays if someone turned water into wine We would have a whole field logical panel. Analyzing. How does it bring glory to God?

Probably got even do that. That makes no sense. How do we even know it was from God because if you want to give me technical those people at the wedding they were drinking for a while.

And he offered some more. Did you guys catch that in the story? They were they were well Tipsy o and I'm not advocating drinking for drunkenness and absolutely not or even tipsy this.

I don't know if it's to work, but he said I love you. What I am saying is. Do we have a discussion about it? And then probably a demon Jesus a heretic?

the Pharisees

so why the world we do water to why we see the spiritual implications because of the New Covenant but why this one fit? How come who did it really help? The people that have to spend more money. Who needs help?

Yeah. but it also says this and his disciples believe that he really was the

who was this miracle for?

Fabulous Five

it's for his disciples guide.

Yes.

Yes. Come on, dude. These are awesome. And there is a core there is a correlation is even correlated to the Old Testament where they came with the Israel came to that place. They can drink any water from and he's like throw stick in their pride and it turned the water from bitter to Sweet the woman she was driving from a well and Jesus want to offer her a river these cleaning pots. They had to come from a river. In order to use and they had to come from a river. It was part of their culture.

But instead he's like I'm going to do something with this. I'm going to transform what is ordinary?

into something extraordinary

why because signs are so that you will be directed to believe.

signs

I remember going to church service and I want to share this with you guys and we're worshipping and that's where were Sovine. Started to rain in the service.

No, it wasn't the sprinkler system.

It hasn't dropped it begin to appear these. gold drops all over people

to where it started to shine. So we're even on our clothes and started to shy. Now we can see a logically debate. Then we could argue.

But you know what it did for the people. I brought them in all who God was.

It was a demonstration. for his disciples God can do this here. The problem that comes with God demonstrating through a sign is that people seek out their signs and no longer seek after God.

The reason that John writes it as a sign is to indicate The Who? This isn't a believe that he was the Messiah. Miracles demonstrate divine intervention

God's power the Miracles indicate the authority the signs indicate the person

Lazarus is dead. And how many people know this isn't a sign right? He's dead divine intervention comes along. And he says come out come out right fins. If you listen to the Carmen version, he said that three times.

advisors comes out of the two miracle

or you can say miraculous sign because it demonstrated who God is it demonstrated his ability Jesus's ability and Authority but he also indicated that he in fact was the Messiah Jesus says that these things follow Some of these are signs and some of these are miracle.

Why is this important Outreach?

Why do you know his disciples didn't believe until this.

the one did they they believe like oh my gosh, but you like wow you you We are John speak this that we found the Messiah but the bounces and they believed on him in the King James or believed in him verify to them who he was and it brought them in awe of God and what he was doing. The rest of the gossip was full of our moments. The reason why Christian lives are boring is because we do not have all moments.

Moments with God that leaves her mouth open that can be scripture that can be encounters that can be Miracles. I'm not in confidence in that all on Miracles cuz that's not what we're going to do. But when you're out reaching the people, let me tell you something.

Sharing the power of God in demonstrating the power will get them to put their face on God and not your words.

It absolutely does.

please

Yes.

Yeah.

Yes.

Yes. And how does he do it? How does God yes by Miracles my Signs by even people speaking you ever had someone say the right thing to you that you were just talking to God about. Are you just tired of God in your heart? No one even knew and this person said the exact same thing that you were saying in your heart. Right. There is a sign for you. It's a signal is to demonstrate that God hears you that it would producing you greater belief.

That ends in that place of believed it would have produced a confidence in you so that when you go to outreach when you have your tea list and you start praying for those people, you're no longer pray from a place of Lord. I really hope this happens to this will be

because I partnered with God on Earth. Got already wants to do and I'm partnering with him. Am I declaring over these people?

It will turn your Christian Life into an extraordinary adventure. And then when you read your Bible, it's not just so you can learn it so that you can share because guess what you're pouring into other people.

Okay.

Next next week is Christmas.

Next week bring your list.

Bring your list because we're going to start activating and praying for these list. We're also going to hear stories of what happens. When you pray about things that I tell you that Dee has a phenomenal story about prayer.

Never tell you guys at. It is phenomenal.

The results came didn't they?

so I'm going to leave you with this reason why I'm going to leave you with this and this last note is Cuz it's getting late. I have many things to say but it's okay. Like did I could use for my flowers straight? You guys have no idea. I love it.

You are not in control of results but activity.

You are not in control of results.

I know people who eat a good diet and they work out harder than I do and they just can't seem to move forward.

But they're doing the activity. Some go to doctor in religious another problem going on underlined. They get start working with that. There's other people who have do done who said I done the activity we're talkin spiritually then activity.

Yes, and what that means is you must have your activity, but you got to multiply kiviti by skill.

That's okay. I don't know about that. Let me tell you something. You ever went fishing with a fisherman?

Like a really good professional fisherman.

For someone who likes official I know how to do it. and you ever right out there in a little can of spinach and make that thing jump across the water. You're going to find like a big mouth bass biting onto it and you're not used to the smell like fish when you're doing the activity, but there ain't no skill here. And you're moving your moving. There's no skill. And this guy them pulled out five fishes and you still have none. You've been there I have it's horrible.

I struggle with not being jealous.

You finally got a fish is this big in the guy's fishes that big?

The only thing that can improve on this list is your skill.

You ever cook something at 1 good?

You ever bake something that didn't turn out right all I see here is now.

What you do?

Do you don't need it? Anyway, you can but what do you give up on cooking? No? But what you do is you learn how that means you begin to acquire information that you'll put into use that will that will transform into a skill that you learn so you can make things better and the results change.

That's true. When you sow a seed it's not about your skill-set, then it's about the Holy being led by the spirit and then all the sudden results happen, but there are things that we can do and learn that can produce a better quality.

a crop and that's where we're headed next week.

Because we will do the we struggle we doing the activity let alone if someone says we need to skill set.

When can I forgot about the best cook fried chicken?

Add chicken at KFC. And I'm tired.
