It's like they almost want us here. I'm like yeah, and they're talking to her And I'm sitting at a table with some people one of the four ladies that come to the church and they're just talking to go You guys have something special here.
There's something about the women that are here today You know they weren't here. They're people they just love being here that you can tell they serve I can't believe how many people are serving doing something different whether serving food or cleaning up or I mean It takes to do a concert like that takes hundreds literally hundreds of people I mean so many of you that just said hey I'd be a part of volunteering so just a big shout out a big Thank you the investment you made whether it's how small or how big it was it literally transformed people's lives forever And I think for generations of people and so thank you for your investment in that Thank you for being apart. Thank you for kind of going through that You know just just so bad you're here today after a long weekend the ladies I guess ladies get tired I got I got so tired after this weekend. I went to bed at 12 30 last night.
I was so tired You guys just you wear me out like I tell you what I could really stay awake is 12 there I'm like I'm tired I need to go to bed the night before I went to bed about 1 30 or 2 and I had to be back the church By but before six, you know why because they're like the ladies drink coffee like yeah, that's great I'm glad they drink off you like yeah, but it needs to be turned on two hours before they get here And they're like looking at me like I'm gonna solve the problem Like yeah, I get it. I'm gonna go there at 545. I'll be there. I'm gonna.
So I came in to get the coffee going I don't even drink coffee. It's nasty. Um I just can't I know I It's like the worst they've ever said I like I'm talking about sin issue like don't do this. Oh, you just you just talk about coffee We're out.
We're not gonna that church like I guess stand that guy up there He doesn't like coffee. How's it smells great? It looks nice. The stains good The taste is terrible and they're like you just never had good coffee before yeah, nothing's good with coffee anyway, sorry Why do I do what I do?
First of all like my wife is embarrassed of me every week. I think she's like look at like Kirby. She's just move on Don't go on tangents don't like you have no stick to him Anyway, this morning we are talking we're doing one more one more week on unexpected sacrifice you miss this last week I'll you go back and watch I'll give you the clip super quick clip no version I'm talking about a guy named Zacchaeus guys members of we little man We little man was he from your younger anybody remember that they talked to the story But anyway, he wants to just see Jesus he wants to find out how do I see Jesus? And so if you know him he was a tax collector people hated him He was short he couldn't see over the thousands of people that were standing jesus I just got to figure out how to find Jesus and so he never had an encounter you can see that in scripture And so he runs ahead and he climbs up in a tree goes if I can just see Jesus Jesus walks by and goes Hey, I want to come hang with you for a few minutes and when he did that it radically transformed his life It was something unexpected right he didn't expect this light his life would be transformed his reputation He just wants you he did some things he would have a person of his that you would never done But not only that but some things in his life transformed who he was they transformed his expectations like my me Jesus Is this gonna be how it is but when you meet Jesus it changes you it transforms your life and in fact for him right?
He had been ripping people off and he'd been taking advantage of people and he has this encounter with Jesus and also he goes I you know what I gotta change some things I gotta go back and I gotta actually pay back to people I've ripped off not just What I owe them and what I should give but four times the amount in this this Unexpected sacrifice that that came out of just this encounter with Jesus and I don't know if you realize this But when you come to Jesus, there's sacrifice that you probably never intended or ever even realize or never expected that maybe God Was gonna just say hey, what about this part of your life? What how does this look so this morning? We're gonna just talk about unexpected sacrifice. We're gonna talk about praise this morning and One person was excited So we're gonna walk through this.
We're gonna start this morning We're looking at Hebrews chapter 13 when we get into this we're gonna start a little bit in 12 So I just think there's some some good stuff there But here's what is Hebrews chapter 12 the beginning of the chapter says therefore since we are surrounded by So great a cloud of witnesses. Let us lay aside every weight and sin which cling so closely So as we come right as we're talking about sacrifice or some things we go hey, let's throw us that all the sin that's in all this Let's throw it away. Let's get off the side. Let's push it Then it goes on to say let us run with endurance the race that's ever for us now Listen for some watch this by watch happen and some of you've seen it with me is people come to faith and they think it's a sprint for some reason And so for the first month 60 days they're running with everything you got and then somewhere along the line They get out why because it's not a sprint.
It's a run of endurance It's something that we every day have to lay our life down every day We have to say God I'm given this part not just for a quick season not just for your moment But there's something that happens in our life It's it's a race and then it goes run the race that's set before us looking to Jesus That's the one that's gonna get through that's when we keep our eyes on our focus on the founder and perfecter Faith who for the joy that was set before him into the cross despising the shame and see that the right hand of the Lord God and go and walk through the end of the chapter verse 12 We'll just chat over to 20 tonight we don't have time to get through all of chapter 12 It says therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken listen Jesus the kingdom of God is not gonna be shaken no matter what the world's got going doesn't matter what's happening in life The kingdom of God will not be shaken and thus let us offer to God Acceptable worship so it says acceptable worship if it's saying there's some worship that is acceptable that means there's some worship That's not acceptable right that means that there's some worship that I don't know if I like but there's this except offer God Acceptable worship with reverence in awe in other words. We're not just walking through life Just kind of going out that big video there's something that we're going there's this God I'm serving I'm gonna offer my life in this with reverence with others something for God is a consuming fire See the Bible says there's acceptable worship then that must be there's unacceptable worship where we see that thing about Cain Enable guys thing about remember the story Cain and Abel the Bible Adam and Eve had two kids can enable and here's the story We'll just read it real quick for Jenna chapter 4 Two through five and again she bore his brother Abel now Abel was a keeper of sheep and Cain worker of the ground in the course of time Cain brought to the Lord an offering of the fruit of the ground and able also brought of the first one of his flock and of Their fat portions and the Lord had regard for Abel and his offering but for Cain and his offering he had no regard I mean, that's a rough day So Cain was angry and his face fell in able here's what happened It's because it wasn't about what hey brought it wasn't that came you know that one brought an animal and the other brought some fruit That's not what it was about like we did you show kills man No, that's wasn't it it was like it was something that Cain that that Abel offered a sacrifice out of faith or Cain Just was like ah, it's not that big of a deal kind of a heartless thing came about the first fruit of the first Like the best of the best and Cain just is kind of how you can have this you know you take this guy's yours And that's how we treat God when it comes to even our lives sometimes even our worship, you know We walk in and we're like, yeah, God you're great. That's wonderful. It's awesome But you say how do we get into this what is acceptable God's telling us what it's simple way to worship him as Christians?
We should want to know what that is so let's look at this morning I keep you shut up at 13 and we're gonna get started in verse 7 this morning He ever says remember your leaders those who spoke to you the word of God consider the outcome of the way of life and imitate through imitate Their faith. I'm just gonna say that that's a very scary verse for someone in my shoes I don't we don't take this lightly because you say listen I mean he says right there remember your leaders that's scary because we don't do a perfect all the time Right, we don't always do this thing right. We don't always do a perfect This is imitate their life like really imitate their life that there's a weight that comes with there's a weight that goes on This or imitate their way of life. This is Jesus Christ is the same I just go this is the same what yesterday today and forever see that Jesus doesn't change things don't change and we should all be striving for that This is this do not be led away by diverse and strange teachings man That is more common now than ever you you search on AI Bible verses and you know what will happen is they'll start changing Just a word or two and he just also all of a sudden here's it you know They say how you turn a big ship our country's found I got you turn a big ship is little by little in fact They say if they turn the ships low enough that they can actually turn the whole ship and no one will even know on the ship That the whole ship is going the other direction You know what happens is if we're not careful what they're doing right now is they'll get their get strange teaching You get weird things that come up they say find a way to get grounded get in the word of God find a way for yourself to get grounded So it doesn't pull you off course you're not just finding something on the internet I go like what he said or I like what they said and then you realize it's taking you down a whole nother road That is not anywhere near what scripture says and so find something don't know don't be distracted is telling you this is this For it's good for the heart to be strengthened by grace not by food Which is good right?
Which have not benefited those devoted to them we have an altar from which those who serve the tent have no right to eat So we're gonna get into this a little bit verse 10 We're gonna look to verse 10 11 here It's just says we have an altar for which those who serve the tent have no right eat for the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into The holy place by the high priest is a sacrifice for sin are burned outside the camp We're gonna we're gonna dive into that we're gonna look at I think it's so important comes to our sacrifice appraise because it talks With this a little later So we have an altar that those here's why I want you to understand we have an altar that those who are not who are living under the Old Covenant or a different faith or a different way of light outside of Christ They don't get this is what we get to eat is what says there They don't get it They don't understand like we used to sacrifice animals now when Jesus comes the old covenant's gone The way about going out doing things the way that they had to go and they'd kill animals They put the bring the blood into the temple to a tone for sin But they're take the the animal parts that take my side and burn them That's not what we do anymore They don't get and they're like they the fact the priest at that point he couldn't eat of the What happened on the day of atonement but now as Christ followers were able to take part in the day of atonement and eat I mean, it's interesting the old times the priest weren't allowed to partake it So but as Christ followers the day to where Jesus laid his life down as the ultimate sacrifice We get to partake in his body and blood which what we symbolize on when we take communion every month, right? We take communion and it's this idea in this concept of like we're taking we're going a the body in the blood of Jesus see at that point in the Old Testament the priest wasn't able to take part of any of the of the body of the animals now We're able to take part and we get all that God has to offer right in the person of Jesus Christ Okay, we're not we're not we'll just walk through this we gotta lost the cover see There's a new covenant. We're not privileged above the Old Testament priest we could do some things out of the Old Testament Priests can do for the bodies of those animals who's blood goes on to say is brought into the holy place by the holy By the by the high priest is a sacrifice for sin are burned outside the camp So I'm gonna say let's just look at those couple these phrases is burned where Outside the camp, right? So Jesus also suffered where outside is it on the screen?
Are you guys on there? Where where where outside the gate right? That's where Jesus or nor to say about the people through his own blood Therefore let us go to him where? Outside the camp why three places is saying the priest outside the camp Jesus outside the gate and out here outside right outside where we have No lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God That is the fruit of lips that acknowledges named you're not neglect to do good and share what you have for such sacrifices are what?
Pleasing to God so if you go through this, how do we figure out what's pleasing to God? See you've ever been around somebody that that that you're around them you're good friends with them You're hanging out with them You know them You're pretty close and then you find something out about them that you didn't have any idea that that's who they were You're like what? You ever had those moments where you're like you're sitting next to something all of a sudden They're like hey, yeah, you know, I'm a Christian you're like dude We have been locker mates for four years and now after four years you're telling me that you're gonna tell me that you're not So I'm like hey someone's I'll pray you like you pray you talk that way you pray. I'm not kidding joke That was a joke.
This is a joke. They should we all can pray right doesn't matter But there's something that we're looking at a single as you're watching you're like this doesn't make sense that you would say that you're a Follow Jesus, but I sometimes you're like I look at your lifestyle and I'm not much of a follower You're more like yeah, you hear about it and you say yeah, you say you know Jesus But you really don't know him by the way you live your life because there's this moment of this sacrifice of praise We're gonna get into this what kind of this means in the whole process and and show me how you live and so you ever find out You know like for me if some of you who've been around the church for a if you were to come to the office tomorrow Don't do this because I'm not gonna be here, but if you were to bring a salad to the office I'd be like you don't know me Yeah, we've been friends for a long time, but you have you don't know me because that's I'm not even it salad so I wouldn't even put it in my own garbage in my office I'd be like taking that to the garbage on the other side I was like throw this in here to just smell it my whole office like but you find out something like and you're on You're like do you really don't know who I am you really don't know what what I'm all about you really don't know What's going on in my life? You really don't know who I am and sometimes sometimes you wonder you go to church and claim to be something And there's nothing that backs them up when they leave the building They're always things that we don't know about people even now we're close to I hope that it's in how you handle your faith So what if you told your neighbors classmates or coworkers you were Christian would they be like what you you you're a follower Jesus? I've known you for years and now you're telling me well, yeah, that's fine But if you've been doing this thing for 20 years now, you're telling me like yeah, right Kind of something in here that's got to happen.
What are whatever I ask those same people to describe you? What they say others really nothing different between them and me we watch the same stuff we go to the same places We do the same things we talk the same we use the same vices we complain the same we talk about our spouse the same We gossip the same we do all this stuff the same is really no different than me without me what they say about you and me See we all see we worship all the same stuff Maybe they don't use that terminology, but they're saying either pretty much the same as I am or what they say this There's something different about them. They have something that I don't they always they handle disappointment different than I do They have just have a piece that I don't have they don't have to turn all those things I turn to they see like differently They're attitude is different they have a faith I wish I had not one that scared them away because you're weird But you were normal, but you just had different presence about you There's just something that was just there see if your neighbors and people around you and say there's no difference And I'm not sure if we're living much of a sacrifice of praise It's just more like we're trying to blend in to be like the world I say don't conform it to the passage of this world We'll be transformed by the renewing of your mind renewing See our life should be like a city on the hill about says our life should be like a city on a hill that you look up You see the light like hey, there's something there should be a light that comes out of us that people can see and they're like Oh, there's something different there. There's something about that.
You know you guys remember the old song This little out of mine. I'm gonna let it shine You gotta remember that when you're all the kids that are like young they're like I don't remember that like anybody like 30 I don't know I do we're talking about and then how about the one that said hide it under a bushel no I'm gonna let it shine. I didn't know I don't know that right all right. What so many of us were like we're walking around hiding our light I don't know what he asked me about this.
This is gonna be living his thing. Oh, yeah, yeah Yeah, let me show you this light. I can't have a cushion That back up in there. Yeah, I mean like that's kind of what we do like trying to hide the light I got you know how I know hide this thing.
There should be something about our lives It just let's every see what happened over there. My staff is like dying right now. I'll hear about later I'm sure I'm sure Stephanie this week's gonna be fun like every week. Hey, girl.
I believe you said that See so many think we when we talk about praise and worship, which is what we're really talking about this morning It's about the songs we sing at church. I'm gonna say this that's for sure part of it But it's such a small part we're talking about worship in the Bible It isn't just the songs we sing when we sing songs. It's an overflow. It's happening in our lives all week long And we come back and go man.
God. This is this little part of we're just seeing a couple songs about how amazing are because you've been amazing this whole time You've been with me through all the battles through all the struggles and today as we come into this place This is just an overflow of what I've been doing all week long It's not just I'm you know you're just like could they please be done singing songs already? Anybody everything that who this is long. Yeah, it's an overflow of what we're doing It's not just worship isn't just opening our mouth.
It's not just clapping our hands or lifting our hands So much more not because I don't know the Bible talks about all those things that were supposed to lift our hands of the Lord Anyway, praise and worship isn't just on Sunday Praise and worship how we live our lives is everything you are and say and do everybody worship something If it's not God is something or someone else praise means putting value to something worship means something that has quality of worth Are we living our lives like Jesus is the most valuable thing to us the thing in our life worth the highest worth? See Romans 12 1 through 2 says I appeal to you brothers by the mercies of God to present your bodies as living sacrifices holy and what? Acceptable another spot where saying hey, what's acceptable worship? Which is your what spiritual worship?
So we're going back to this acceptable word do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the Renewal of your mind. I had to do that Represent that is that by testing you made discern what the will of God is what is good and what? Acceptable again and personal something about what is acceptable to God? What is acceptable the passage Hebrews tells us that this is where it should happen and we're talking about this It says get outside the camp that this should mean something there Maybe something happens in the church whether things be something happens outside the church outside the camp The second was burned outside the camp it says Jesus went outside the gate and we're supposed to go outside the camp with him Right, we're supposed to go outside for this is this we're just reading in the case you miss it for the bodies of those animals Who's blood is brought into the holy place is by the high priest as sacrifice You're sitting are burned outside the camp so she's also suffered outside the gate in order to second by the people through his own blood Never let us go damn outside the camp and bear their approach he endured in other words It might be a little bit hard.
It might be a little difficult. He had some difficulty when he was outside living in the world Living in the thing that's going on that that through him that is continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God That is the full world of sin the Old Testament literally gets chapter 16 Here's what it says it's talking about what happened to the priest and the bull of the sin offering and the goat for the sin offering His blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy place shall be carried where? Outside the camp their skin and their flesh and their dung shall be burned up with fire I don't know why they put dung in there. That just makes me smile No, what what they take the stuff the sin the dung the junk in our lives and it's burned outside the camp There's something that happens when you do something outside of the camp See it's great that you live for Jesus in here We say can you take it and live out there in the world that's where we're this has to go see the Old Testament This was symbol they were separating themselves from sin there was this distance we are putting between ourselves and sin They take the remains and burn outside the city it wasn't just the Old Testament Or they took sin outside the camp and got riveted says Jesus went outside the gate as he's going to the cross He's going outside the gate John 19 verse 16 70 so we delivered him over to be crucified So they took Jesus and he went where out He went out bearing his own cross so to the place called the place of the skull which in Aramaic is called Golgotha for the Jews I just want you to understand this with just could you imagine this choosing to go outside the camp is not just a Similar separation for them from sin it's accepting Christ as the as the perfect sacrifice can't you can't imagine this with me their whole life They've been sacrificing right or whole like they've been sacrificing animals and that's part of what they had to do to make A tome for their sin or sacrificing sin the sin the sacrifice and now Jesus walks on the scene and these Jews are Figuring like oh, this is this is different.
He's making a tome for my sin I don't have to do this anymore Can you imagine what this turns what happens in families and in cultures and people? They're like all of my friends are still sacrificing every day their sacrifices, but Jesus is no I don't need to do that anymore now I mean can you imagine the turmoil can you imagine this stuff that's going on? They're going listen you you're not doing this anymore you're not going to do this like what you're still and God and they're like No, I found it in Jesus. I don't have to sacrifice like that anymore I don't even can picture what's going on the turmoil the separate for the Jews is becoming Christian to a saying the old sacrifice doesn't work We're now 17 to say good.
We're good with getting kicked out of our family We're getting good at getting kicked out of our community We're turning back on the old way of sacrificing animals everything that we know with all our friends are doing all our families We're going to follow Jesus. It's a different thing. There was a literally a sacrifice For them to do this with their life. See what I mean for us.
It says now let us go Where does the sacrifice of praise really happen? I'll just say this a sacrifice of praise really happens outside the walls of church That's where sacrifice of praise happens not any of us can praise in the church Anybody can praise when the worship team's going. It's not songs. It's your lifestyle It's how you live see it's not sacrifice of praise here.
It's sometimes a lot harder. There's something it's harder in here, too Right, I love this everyone just watch for you It's so fun like the band starts saying it's a great song and you're going who else is holding you going? People are clapping, you know, you're like that's weird. I never doing that.
It's about since the clapper hands on the Lord You are doing this you're like what in the world is going you walk in this morning? I'm like what in the world are they doing over there? I've got some little litter hands on it. Yeah, it's ever been to a I hope this never happened to you.
I know I'm saying have you ever See you ever seen in a movie some of the gods members Right, yeah, so what happens and we're saying this guy's not putting a gun at you see to this thank the Lord terrible illustration curp We know we're doing it. We're saying God. Do you have my life laying it all down? That's what you do in your resurrection It's time.
Give this to you. I don't want this anymore I don't know how you're the one that's able you're the king of kings I'm not just and hey, this is you So I'll set the walls of church just outside the sea. Let me ask you are you going outside the camp with your life See the follow Jesus outside the camp is the falling outside of what the world has offered are you willing? Are you and I willing to go outside the camp deliver lives or people can take notice of who we are?
There's a way I'm going to live that's different. There's a separation from the sin that's so easily entangled He never asked us to isolate from the world He asked us to live in the world but be separate in how we live and how we talk and how we treat others we can be in the world But not of it live outside our dream our desires our dreams our paths going God I have all of these desires and some of those aren't good desires. They're not healthy desires But God I'm giving these to you because I'm offering you a living sacrifice. I'm saying a sacrifice a praise it This is what I really want to do in my life But today I'm choosing not to be because I know that's something you want for my life I'm saying God you can have this party now this area now this dream you have this thought I'm dying to myself Let your will be done not mine.
See how will you serve him question this morning is when things don't go your way It's just really easy to serve him when it is See really easy to praise him and think of it all that reports came back good when the banks full of money when the kids are Doing well, that's easy Be saying I want to offer a sacrifice when things aren't going good Things don't go the way you hoped when things are a struggle God. I'm saying here it is I'm giving you this when things don't go and think about the Bible everything about Joseph in the Bible Think about him he walks out to meet his buddies his brothers his 11 brothers and they take him and they're like do we don't like you They throw him in a pit they tell his dad if you had an animal got him and then they take them from the pit He goes to he gets sold in the slavery. Yeah, I mean, that's a great day Unless a day you want a praise they take him and he puts him in potters house He's gonna make it up the ranks and potters houses a slave what happens the woman says he tried to do something because she wanted He didn't want to do it a sacrifice of praise what they do they throw him in prison. Yeah, that's great God a sacrifice Right against up.
I mean now he's in prison for years. No, a second. It's not easy How about think about Daniel in the lines and they say if you pray to any other God We're throwing the Daniel lies and what's he do he goes in praise because it wasn't easy He's going to sacrifice with the way that I'm a shad rack me shack in a bend to go the three Hebrew children They built it never can't connect or build this huge statue That's it everybody's gonna bow down if you don't you're going to the fiery furnace they go we ain't bound out of nobody What a sacrifice a praise we're gonna do what everybody else we're not doing culture says we're not going everybody's doing It's a sacrifice a praise going. Yeah, throw us in go for it.
We don't care our God is over to you He doesn't I'm gonna serve you anyway, you know he doesn't think about Joe jokes got everything Got all of it family wealthy got I mean think about it same comes it takes everything But him and his wife even takes his health does he turn us back on God? No, and the miss me No, this is it God. I'm giving you my life See there's a way to live outside the city is is way is when we don't he doesn't show up the way you thought you would He said I'm gonna serve him anyway I'm gonna worship him anyway the world says I'm done because he didn't show up and when I need him or I like it Or like I expected to I'm out and we say no, I'm not out I'm just going anyway The thing about God is it's what you still worship him if he never answered another one your prayers If he never showed up again after you came to Jesus, we just still follow him the great thing about him He's gonna show up. He's not like that But if he didn't would you still worship him would you still serve him see the way we live is an act of worship?
It's saying you don't show up like I expected you I'm going to worship you anyway It's a different way of life way to live. So how do you worship out of your life? So a lot of times it's outside of what everyone else is doing or thinking sometimes it's getting outside your comfort zone Sometimes it's stepping out of your covers on even in this place We're gonna sing a song Maybe for you today, they're gonna sing a song through and maybe just maybe take another step Because if you can't worship here talk to worship out there, so maybe for you today, he'll just be like What song we sing who else maybe there you go who else is worthy? I hope I'm out my wife didn't hear anybody said For some of you it may be this morning they're gonna go like this.
I don't think anybody saw me. I did it It's okay Maybe for some of you you're gonna focus for the first time. Maybe some of you are gonna shut your eyes. Okay God Try to do something outside of your comfort zone.
Let's make a statement today a challenge You don't be weird but be authentic You can you take a step that maybe takes you a little farther than maybe you normally go sacrifice praise and push your pastor comfort zone Not just here because I could really care less in all reality if you do that here I really want our churches to live it outside. It's way more important how we live our lives outside Think about Paul and Silas in prison this the last little story I'm gonna tell They've just taken kind of demon out of a person and they get thrown in prison for it. Oh, thank you so much Lord We were working in your name now. We're in prison hallelujah, and what are they sitting there?
What do they do? Midnight says in the Bible. They say hey, they look each other like hey, no we should do right now All these other people are complaining they're up in here. Why don't we praise?
What? Yeah, why don't we worship? Silas looks over goes did you start all joint? You know, I don't know how when but so they start singing who else is worthy They start singing and all of a sudden the chains fall off There's something that happens when you worship is chains are to fall off your life Something happens when you start to live your life is an act of worship that you don't do the things that you used to do that That breaks the chains that are in your life the addictions that happens I'm not doing that anymore those start to break off right when we start to live our lives not just with our voice But with our life that says this is an act of worship.
This is what I'm gonna do. This is who I am There's something about this that takes place inside But you go hey, this is who I am chains break off things happen. I don't see it I don't feel it doesn't matter. I'm sorry offering a sacrifice of praise.
What doesn't look good I'm different from the world. We'll get discouraged frustrated depressed afraid anxious not me I'm gonna worship. I'm talking about everything and everything I got saying I'm trusting you whether I see it or not See a sacrifice is just praising living with every goes your way The last part just said this Offer Says through him. Let us know let's continue offer a sacrifice or praise the God that is the fruit of our lips I acknowledge his name This is it's do not neglect to do good and to share what you have first such sacrifices are pleasing to God live outside the camp Share with other people help other people do good to other people live your life in a way that matters in his impact We acknowledge him through through worship to him and letting others know we serve him not just with our words with our actions as well I love this and this is the last verse Philippians 2 9 therefore God has highly exalted him It's totally the name that is above every name So the name of Jesus every knee should bow in the heaven and on earth and under the earth and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ Is Lord to the glory of God the Father come on what you stand across the room this morning?
Some are in this place and for you we're got my right to sing just a song through once I'm just gonna ask you to stick us for a minute But some of you in the room you're like curvy for me It's really difficult to jump to the spot of living this thing outside of this place to living this thing outside of my world You say I just I gotta help you say hey, that's me I want to live my life is a living sacrifice Come on you say honest. That's me. That's me across the room I'm gonna say for you worship is a little bit of a challenge right? They don't even engage as hard in this morning as we just sing it one more time They're obviously gonna ask you to just press it a little bit deep with them Maybe normally you go come on as they sing let's just worship him today Oh God you're so good we want our lives to go just be a offering to you not just our words But we want every part of us to live is unto you So for just a moment Maybe there's some people in the room that you've never given your life to Jesus before well I love you every week a chance for people to find Jesus Talked about the one that came in as a sacrifice for your sins He went to a cross for you.
He went to the place and took your sins on his back So you didn't have to near the room today. You said never give in the chance God a chance He's gonna give God a chance this morning said I'm not serving God I want to live for him to say hey, but no, we look around just for a moment you say hey, that's me come on Come in anybody else anybody else.

It's yours.
