Have you ever stopped toconsider where you are in life?
00:00:02.628 --> 00:00:03.095
Or where you're going?
00:00:03.195 --> 00:00:05.697
Have you considered whereGod wants you to go?
00:00:05.798 --> 00:00:07.933
Join us today, as my pastor,Robert Morris,
00:00:08.033 --> 00:00:10.235
begins a new series that willreveal to you where you are now,
00:00:10.335 --> 00:00:14.473
and more importantly, how to getto the next level
00:00:14.573 --> 00:00:17.643
of your walk with him.
00:00:17.743 --> 00:00:19.278
♪ ♪
00:00:19.378 --> 00:00:33.659
ROBERT MORRIS: We're beginninga new series called,
00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:35.928
"You Are Here",
00:00:36.028 --> 00:00:37.529
and I'm extremely excitedabout this series.
00:00:37.629 --> 00:00:40.265
It'll be a four-week series.
00:00:40.365 --> 00:00:41.967
I'll preach all of the messagesin this series.
00:00:42.067 --> 00:00:45.003
I'm excited about this series,because I believe that Jesus
00:00:45.104 --> 00:00:49.775
gave us a teaching thatshows us exactly where we are
00:00:49.875 --> 00:00:57.483
in our life with God,our journey with God,
00:00:57.583 --> 00:01:01.820
and how to get to the next step.
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:04.756
And the reason I titled it,"You Are Here",
00:01:04.857 --> 00:01:08.093
everyone knows about, you know,the, "You Are Here" --
00:01:08.193 --> 00:01:11.296
you've seen it in a mall,or you've seen it in --
00:01:11.396 --> 00:01:13.899
you know, at an amusement parkor something.
00:01:13.999 --> 00:01:17.069
We used to have season passesto Six Flags
00:01:17.169 --> 00:01:19.771
when the kids were young.
00:01:19.872 --> 00:01:21.240
And I remember the first thingwe did; we went
00:01:21.340 --> 00:01:23.108
to the "You Are Here" sign.
00:01:23.208 --> 00:01:25.677
And the reason we did that,was not to know where we were --
00:01:25.777 --> 00:01:28.413
we knew where we were --but to know how to get
00:01:28.514 --> 00:01:32.251
where we wanted to go.
00:01:32.351 --> 00:01:33.585
And there's a passage ofscripture in Mark 4
00:01:33.685 --> 00:01:36.054
that shows us that.
00:01:36.155 --> 00:01:37.523
Now, before I show you thispassage, let me show --
00:01:37.623 --> 00:01:42.261
let me tell you abouta survey that we actually
00:01:42.361 --> 00:01:45.063
participated in aboutseven years ago.
00:01:45.164 --> 00:01:48.767
There were 525 churches thatparticipated in the survey.
00:01:48.867 --> 00:01:53.105
525 churches.
00:01:53.205 --> 00:01:55.107
And 180.000 peopleparticipated in the survey.
00:01:55.207 --> 00:02:00.846
The purpose of the surveywas to see how well we were,
00:02:00.946 --> 00:02:07.052
as churches, disciplining peopleand teaching people God's Word.
00:02:07.152 --> 00:02:11.323
And it helped pastorsand leadership to be able
00:02:11.423 --> 00:02:13.892
to see that, but what came outof this survey was it showed
00:02:13.992 --> 00:02:17.362
that everyone that'sattending church is
00:02:17.462 --> 00:02:20.499
in one of four groups of people.
00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:23.735
And not only did it show that,but it showed how you get
00:02:23.835 --> 00:02:27.506
to the next stage --
00:02:27.606 --> 00:02:28.774
And immediately, when I sawthe results of that survey,
00:02:28.874 --> 00:02:32.277
I thought of Mark 4.
00:02:32.377 --> 00:02:33.612
So let me justshow four groups.
00:02:33.712 --> 00:02:37.249
Don't make any snide remarkto the person beside you
00:02:37.349 --> 00:02:41.653
about my artistic abilities.
00:02:41.753 --> 00:02:43.956
So what this survey showed wasthat everyone is in
00:02:44.056 --> 00:02:47.226
one of four groups of people.
00:02:47.326 --> 00:02:49.094
The first group are thosepeople who -- and I'm just
00:02:49.194 --> 00:02:52.831
going to put the initials,who are exploring God.
00:02:52.931 --> 00:02:57.269
Now, I want to show yousomething else.
00:02:57.369 --> 00:02:58.470
If you're taking notesand you want to put this,
00:02:58.570 --> 00:03:00.639
it'll help you.
00:03:00.739 --> 00:03:01.840
Put a cross right there,because these are people that
00:03:01.940 --> 00:03:04.309
are actually attending church,but have not come to know
00:03:04.409 --> 00:03:07.412
the Lord as their Savior yet.
00:03:07.512 --> 00:03:09.214
And we love these people,because this is where
00:03:09.314 --> 00:03:12.084
we all start.
00:03:12.184 --> 00:03:13.352
All of us have a journey,and people start exploring God,
00:03:13.452 --> 00:03:15.988
but they just haven't come tounderstand that they need
00:03:16.088 --> 00:03:19.625
to accept Jesus as theirpersonal Lord and Savior yet.
00:03:19.725 --> 00:03:22.027
So -- by the way, this surveywas only people
00:03:22.127 --> 00:03:25.731
attending church.
00:03:25.831 --> 00:03:27.633
So there's a whole other groupof people over here
00:03:27.733 --> 00:03:29.835
that aren't even attendingchurch, and we would call them
00:03:29.935 --> 00:03:33.405
far from God.
00:03:33.505 --> 00:03:34.606
The second group are peoplewho are beginning in God.
00:03:34.706 --> 00:03:38.310
These are people who haveaccepted Christ now,
00:03:38.410 --> 00:03:41.346
and they are nowbeginning in God.
00:03:41.446 --> 00:03:44.416
The next group are peoplewho are close to God,
00:03:44.516 --> 00:03:49.554
and they're growing in theirrelationship even more.
00:03:49.655 --> 00:03:52.157
And then, this last groupare people who are God centered.
00:03:52.257 --> 00:03:57.429
And I'll show you the differencebetween close to God,
00:03:57.529 --> 00:04:00.632
and God centered.
00:04:00.732 --> 00:04:02.034
And, what I'm doing iseach of these, each week,
00:04:02.134 --> 00:04:05.537
I've given 'em a name.
00:04:05.637 --> 00:04:07.639
And this week,it's "Fellowship".
00:04:07.739 --> 00:04:09.708
These are people that arelearning to -- about fellowship,
00:04:09.808 --> 00:04:12.811
the people in the first group,and we'll -- each week,
00:04:12.911 --> 00:04:17.215
there'll be another wordlike this over each of these.
00:04:17.316 --> 00:04:21.386
I'll go ahead and give itto you,
00:04:21.486 --> 00:04:22.421
so you can kind of understand.
00:04:22.521 --> 00:04:23.722
I don't mind.
00:04:23.822 --> 00:04:24.856
These people, are peoplewho are -- let me think...
00:04:24.956 --> 00:04:30.362
Okay, I'll give itto you next week.
00:04:30.462 --> 00:04:31.530
So anyway.[laughter]
00:04:31.630 --> 00:04:34.399
It's driving me crazy now.
00:04:36.868 --> 00:04:39.171
Yeah; I knew that.
00:04:39.271 --> 00:04:40.339
I just wanted todo something funny.
00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:42.274
[laughter]
00:04:42.374 --> 00:04:44.209
These are people now who arein relationship with God;
00:04:44.309 --> 00:04:47.012
they've begun theirrelationship.
00:04:47.112 --> 00:04:49.715
These are people who arelearning about discipleship.
00:04:49.815 --> 00:04:54.086
And then, these are peoplewho've really entered into,
00:04:54.186 --> 00:04:57.756
and are experiencing on a dailybasis,
00:04:57.856 --> 00:05:00.859
the lordship of Christ.
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:02.828
And so, we're going totalk about this for
00:05:02.928 --> 00:05:06.832
the next four weeks, alright?
00:05:06.932 --> 00:05:08.233
Okay.Look at Mark 4:1.
00:05:08.333 --> 00:05:14.373
"And he again beganto teach by the sea.
00:05:14.473 --> 00:05:17.943
And a great multitudewas gathered to him,
00:05:18.043 --> 00:05:20.278
so that he got into a boat andhe sat it -- in it on the sea.
00:05:20.379 --> 00:05:23.148
And the whole multitude wason the land facing the sea.
00:05:23.248 --> 00:05:26.485
Then he taught them manythings by parables," --
00:05:26.585 --> 00:05:30.021
remember the word parables:"And he said to them
00:05:30.122 --> 00:05:32.891
in his teaching: 'Listen!
00:05:32.991 --> 00:05:34.659
Behold, a sowerwent out to sow.
00:05:34.760 --> 00:05:36.862
And it happened, as he sowed,that some seed
00:05:36.962 --> 00:05:40.532
fell by the wayside.
00:05:40.632 --> 00:05:41.566
And the birds of the aircame and devoured it.
00:05:41.666 --> 00:05:44.202
Some fell on stony ground,'"-- this is the second group
00:05:44.302 --> 00:05:49.040
"Where it did not havemuch earth.
00:05:49.141 --> 00:05:50.475
And immediately it sprang upbecause it had
00:05:50.575 --> 00:05:52.411
no depth of earth.
00:05:52.511 --> 00:05:53.612
But when the sun was upand it was scorched,
00:05:53.712 --> 00:05:56.214
and because it had no rootit withered away."
00:05:56.314 --> 00:05:59.284
Here's the third group.
00:05:59.384 --> 00:06:00.385
"Some seed fellamong thorns.
00:06:00.485 --> 00:06:02.154
And the thorns grew upand choked it,
00:06:02.254 --> 00:06:03.822
and it yielded no crop."
00:06:03.922 --> 00:06:05.056
And the fourth group.
00:06:05.157 --> 00:06:05.924
Mark 4:8.
00:06:06.024 --> 00:06:07.826
"But other seed fell on goodground and yielded a crop
00:06:07.926 --> 00:06:09.594
that sprang up, increasedand produced:
00:06:09.694 --> 00:06:11.663
some thirty fold, some sixty,and some a hundred."
00:06:11.763 --> 00:06:15.300
Mark 4:9 says: "And he said tothem, 'He who has ears to hear,
00:06:15.400 --> 00:06:17.969
let him hear!'"
00:06:18.069 --> 00:06:20.138
Now, for those of you thathave been in church awhile,
00:06:20.238 --> 00:06:22.307
this phrase, "He who hasears to hear, let him hear!"
00:06:22.407 --> 00:06:24.576
is familiar to you.
00:06:24.676 --> 00:06:26.211
But if you've never beenin church, you know,
00:06:26.311 --> 00:06:28.847
if you think about that phrase,it's a little odd,
00:06:28.947 --> 00:06:32.350
because it sounds like thatthere were people that day
00:06:32.451 --> 00:06:36.054
that didn't have ears.
00:06:36.154 --> 00:06:38.423
And so, you know,they were thinking, okay.
00:06:38.523 --> 00:06:40.392
Oh, that guy,he doesn't have any ears
00:06:40.492 --> 00:06:41.993
on the side of his head,so Jesus isn't talking to him.
00:06:42.093 --> 00:06:45.096
Obviously, he's not talkingabout literal ears.
00:06:45.197 --> 00:06:47.065
He's talking aboutspiritual ears.
00:06:47.165 --> 00:06:49.901
So he said, "I'm talkingabout something spiritual.
00:06:50.001 --> 00:06:54.072
"I want to remind youthat the Bible
00:06:54.172 --> 00:06:56.007
is a spiritual book,written by a spiritual being,
00:06:56.107 --> 00:07:00.846
to spiritual beings.
00:07:00.946 --> 00:07:04.249
So according to1 Corinthians 2,
00:07:04.349 --> 00:07:07.052
the natural mind can'tunderstand this book.
00:07:07.152 --> 00:07:11.656
We can't -- you can'tunderstand it,
00:07:11.756 --> 00:07:14.025
unless you understand itthrough the spirit.
00:07:14.125 --> 00:07:15.694
All right?
00:07:15.794 --> 00:07:16.428
So notice Mark 4:10.
00:07:16.528 --> 00:07:20.232
"When he was alone, thosearound him with the twelve
00:07:20.332 --> 00:07:23.134
asked him about the parable."
00:07:23.235 --> 00:07:25.971
Now, watch Mark 4:13.
00:07:26.071 --> 00:07:28.273
"And he said to them, 'Do younot understand this parable?
00:07:28.373 --> 00:07:34.513
How then will you understandall the parables?'"
00:07:34.613 --> 00:07:41.086
Now, I don't want us togo past this, this quickly.
00:07:41.186 --> 00:07:44.689
Because we are readingthrough the Bible,
00:07:44.789 --> 00:07:46.391
and we go past stuff, you know?
00:07:46.491 --> 00:07:49.060
And let me just tell you,when you read something
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:50.996
in the Bible, you needto stop and think about it.
00:07:51.096 --> 00:07:54.332
I just want you to let thissink in a moment, alright?
00:07:54.432 --> 00:07:56.968
Here's what Jesus said: "Youdon't understand this Parable?
00:07:57.068 --> 00:08:03.074
How are you going tounderstand the rest of them?"
00:08:03.174 --> 00:08:06.845
Now, think about that.
00:08:06.945 --> 00:08:08.179
This is Jesus.
00:08:08.280 --> 00:08:10.348
Here, in essence,is what he said.
00:08:10.448 --> 00:08:12.851
"If you don't understandthis one, you can't understand
00:08:12.951 --> 00:08:16.655
any of 'em."
00:08:16.755 --> 00:08:18.857
"How are you going tounderstand all of the parables,
00:08:18.957 --> 00:08:21.326
if you don't understandthis one?"
00:08:21.426 --> 00:08:22.761
So this one'spretty important.
00:08:22.861 --> 00:08:23.895
That's why we're going tospend four weeks on it.
00:08:23.995 --> 00:08:25.430
All right,look at Mark 4:14.
00:08:25.530 --> 00:08:27.432
"The sower sows the word."
00:08:27.532 --> 00:08:30.101
He's explaining it now.
00:08:30.201 --> 00:08:30.969
So seed representsthe word in this.
00:08:31.069 --> 00:08:33.138
"And these are the ones bythe wayside where the word
00:08:33.238 --> 00:08:35.407
is sown.
00:08:35.507 --> 00:08:36.575
When they hear, Satan," --so the birds of the air
00:08:36.675 --> 00:08:38.910
represent Satanin this parable.
00:08:39.010 --> 00:08:41.212
"Satan comes immediately,"that's a very important word.
00:08:41.313 --> 00:08:44.583
Immediately: "And takes awaythe word that was sown
00:08:44.683 --> 00:08:48.887
in their hearts.
00:08:48.987 --> 00:08:50.855
These likewise are the ones,"here's the second group:
00:08:50.956 --> 00:08:53.658
"Sown on stony ground who,when they hear the word,
00:08:53.758 --> 00:08:56.127
immediately receive it,"they receive it:
00:08:56.227 --> 00:08:59.531
"With gladness.
00:08:59.631 --> 00:09:01.399
And they have no rootin themselves,
00:09:01.499 --> 00:09:03.868
so they endure only for a time.
00:09:03.969 --> 00:09:06.304
Afterward, when tribulationor persecution arises
00:09:06.404 --> 00:09:08.607
for the word's sake,immediately they stumble."
00:09:08.707 --> 00:09:12.243
I'm not saying they fall away,just said they stumble.
00:09:12.344 --> 00:09:15.447
Mark 4:18.
00:09:15.547 --> 00:09:17.248
"These are the ones among --sown among thorns."
00:09:17.349 --> 00:09:20.652
And we -- and I'll show you itlater, what thorns represent
00:09:20.752 --> 00:09:22.954
in the Bible.
00:09:23.054 --> 00:09:24.155
"They are the ones who hearthe word, and the cares
00:09:24.255 --> 00:09:26.491
of this world,the deceitfulness of riches,
00:09:26.591 --> 00:09:29.194
and the desires for other thingsentering in choke the word,
00:09:29.294 --> 00:09:34.366
and it becomes unfruitful."In their lives, in other words.
00:09:34.466 --> 00:09:37.402
Mark 4:20.
00:09:37.502 --> 00:09:39.938
"These are the ones," fourthgroup: "Sown on good ground,
00:09:40.038 --> 00:09:43.341
those who hear the word,accept it, and bear fruit:
00:09:43.441 --> 00:09:45.877
some thirty fold, some sixty,and some a hundred."
00:09:45.977 --> 00:09:49.948
Okay, let's talk aboutthis for a moment.
00:09:50.048 --> 00:09:52.784
First of all,the word parable.
00:09:52.884 --> 00:09:54.586
The word parable comes froma Greek word, para --
00:09:54.686 --> 00:09:57.756
it's two Greek wordsput together.
00:09:57.856 --> 00:09:59.457
Para, bole.
00:09:59.557 --> 00:10:01.393
Parable.
00:10:01.493 --> 00:10:02.460
Para, bole.
00:10:02.560 --> 00:10:04.329
Para means alongside.
00:10:04.429 --> 00:10:08.733
Bole means to throw.
00:10:08.833 --> 00:10:12.137
Now, that doesn't makemuch sense to us,
00:10:12.237 --> 00:10:14.372
unless we think about it.
00:10:14.472 --> 00:10:15.306
It means to throwsomething alongside.
00:10:15.407 --> 00:10:18.143
That's what a parable is.
00:10:18.243 --> 00:10:19.544
A parable is a story thatJesus would use
00:10:19.644 --> 00:10:24.149
to throw alongside a truth.
00:10:24.249 --> 00:10:27.585
So you could see the --understand something
00:10:27.686 --> 00:10:30.255
in the natural,and see the truth.
00:10:30.355 --> 00:10:33.391
There's another Greek wordthat para as it --
00:10:33.491 --> 00:10:36.961
as part of it,and it's parakletos.
00:10:37.062 --> 00:10:40.632
Now, we say in English,kind of a version of it.
00:10:40.732 --> 00:10:43.068
People say paraclete.
00:10:43.168 --> 00:10:44.769
It's really not the best wayto say it,
00:10:44.869 --> 00:10:46.738
but it's parakletos.
00:10:46.838 --> 00:10:48.039
And that is the Holy Spirit.
00:10:48.139 --> 00:10:49.708
Para, again, means alongside.
00:10:49.808 --> 00:10:51.843
Kletos means to comeor to walk.
00:10:51.943 --> 00:10:55.313
So this is really good news,the Holy Spirit is someone
00:10:55.413 --> 00:10:59.084
who would like towalk alongside you.
00:10:59.184 --> 00:11:03.888
So that's what that means.
00:11:03.988 --> 00:11:05.690
So this is whatJesus is doing.
00:11:05.790 --> 00:11:08.359
He's telling us this story,so that we understand a truth.
00:11:08.460 --> 00:11:12.731
Now, I misunderstoodthis parable for years.
00:11:12.831 --> 00:11:15.600
I actually thought,and many people believe this,
00:11:15.700 --> 00:11:18.236
that it was talking about threepeople who were bad people.
00:11:18.336 --> 00:11:23.975
And one person who was good.
00:11:24.075 --> 00:11:26.644
Three people who didn'treceive the word,
00:11:26.745 --> 00:11:29.047
and one who did.
00:11:29.147 --> 00:11:30.715
But it actually -- even,very clearly says on one
00:11:30.815 --> 00:11:33.084
of 'em they receive the word.
00:11:33.184 --> 00:11:35.320
So this isn't talking aboutbad people.
00:11:35.420 --> 00:11:38.256
Listen carefully.
00:11:38.356 --> 00:11:39.157
It's talking abouta bad enemy.
00:11:39.257 --> 00:11:42.293
And it's talking about howyou overcome the enemy,
00:11:42.393 --> 00:11:45.497
at each stage of yourgrowth in God.
00:11:45.597 --> 00:11:49.267
All right?
00:11:49.367 --> 00:11:50.502
So if you notice, there arefour groups, and you could
00:11:50.602 --> 00:11:53.271
actually put -- if you want to,over all four of these,
00:11:53.371 --> 00:11:57.776
you could putthe word growing.
00:11:57.876 --> 00:12:01.279
Because all of thesepeople are growing.
00:12:01.379 --> 00:12:04.883
So people grow in theirunderstanding of God
00:12:04.983 --> 00:12:08.520
before they're born again.
00:12:08.620 --> 00:12:10.121
So we're all growing.
00:12:10.221 --> 00:12:11.256
By the way, these people whoare God centered
00:12:11.356 --> 00:12:13.291
haven't arrived.
00:12:13.391 --> 00:12:14.826
They're still growing.
00:12:14.926 --> 00:12:16.161
And if you ever stop growing,you'll start going backwards.
00:12:16.261 --> 00:12:18.763
We call it backsliding, right?
00:12:18.863 --> 00:12:21.065
Okay?
00:12:21.166 --> 00:12:21.933
All right, so I want youto notice.
00:12:22.033 --> 00:12:23.268
There are four groups.
00:12:23.368 --> 00:12:25.103
If there are four groups,there are three movements.
00:12:25.203 --> 00:12:30.708
Three steps.
00:12:30.809 --> 00:12:32.110
You see that?
00:12:32.210 --> 00:12:33.645
In other words, if I havefour fingers here,
00:12:33.745 --> 00:12:36.347
how many gaps are there?
00:12:36.447 --> 00:12:38.016
One, two, three.
00:12:38.116 --> 00:12:39.317
If I were to move from thisfinger to this finger,
00:12:39.417 --> 00:12:41.319
that's one move.
00:12:41.419 --> 00:12:42.353
That's a move.
00:12:42.453 --> 00:12:43.288
And that's a move.
00:12:43.388 --> 00:12:44.355
So in this survey now,this is 180.000 people.
00:12:44.455 --> 00:12:48.426
And it was just to find out howwell are we doing as churches,
00:12:48.526 --> 00:12:51.830
disciplining people,and helping people
00:12:51.930 --> 00:12:54.098
grow in their understandingof God and his Word?
00:12:54.199 --> 00:12:55.767
And it was just amazing howit boiled down to these --
00:12:55.867 --> 00:13:01.406
that every person attendingchurch was in one of
00:13:01.506 --> 00:13:03.241
these four groups, and everyperson attending church,
00:13:03.341 --> 00:13:05.910
it was easy to see one truththat caused them to move
00:13:06.010 --> 00:13:10.949
from group one to group two.
00:13:11.049 --> 00:13:12.517
All right?
00:13:12.617 --> 00:13:13.351
So let me showyou that truth.
00:13:13.451 --> 00:13:14.652
If you move from group oneto group two, it was
00:13:14.752 --> 00:13:18.656
because of this one truth thatyou understood finally.
00:13:18.756 --> 00:13:22.327
It was the truth of grace.
00:13:22.427 --> 00:13:27.699
That's how people moved.
00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:28.967
Let me say it another way.
00:13:29.067 --> 00:13:30.235
People in this category,when they talk -- in all
00:13:30.335 --> 00:13:33.671
three of these, but whenthey talked about salvation,
00:13:33.771 --> 00:13:36.474
they said, "I strongly agreethat nothing I have ever done
00:13:36.574 --> 00:13:41.045
or ever will do couldearn my salvation."
00:13:41.145 --> 00:13:45.383
But people who were over here,thought, no, I have to do
00:13:45.483 --> 00:13:48.620
something to earn it.
00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:50.421
But once they understood grace,they could move over here.
00:13:50.521 --> 00:13:54.392
That's how you becomea believer,
00:13:54.492 --> 00:13:55.994
is you understand Jesus paid foryour sins, and you accept that.
00:13:56.094 --> 00:13:59.297
You accept himas your Savior.
00:13:59.397 --> 00:14:00.732
You follow me?
00:14:00.832 --> 00:14:01.633
Okay.
00:14:01.733 --> 00:14:02.934
People that move from grouptwo to group three was people
00:14:03.034 --> 00:14:06.938
who began to have anunderstanding of God's Word
00:14:07.038 --> 00:14:13.678
as the final authorityin their life.
00:14:13.778 --> 00:14:16.881
In other words, when a persongets saved, he thinks
00:14:16.981 --> 00:14:19.150
the Bible's a good book,and it is, it's God's Word,
00:14:19.250 --> 00:14:23.221
but once you understand,no, no, no.
00:14:23.321 --> 00:14:25.423
Wait a minute.
00:14:25.523 --> 00:14:26.424
This is God's Wordto my life.
00:14:26.524 --> 00:14:30.228
This is how I run my life.
00:14:30.328 --> 00:14:31.296
I want to know how to runmy business,
00:14:31.396 --> 00:14:32.597
I want to know howto be married.
00:14:32.697 --> 00:14:33.798
I want to know howto raise my children.
00:14:33.898 --> 00:14:35.867
I -- it's in the book.
00:14:35.967 --> 00:14:37.435
This is not justa good book.
00:14:37.535 --> 00:14:38.770
This is the book, and oncepeople begin to recognize
00:14:38.870 --> 00:14:42.340
God's Word as the finalauthority in their life.
00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:46.544
You know, when I used to beable to talk with people
00:14:46.644 --> 00:14:49.113
about their marriage,going through
00:14:49.213 --> 00:14:50.882
marriage difficulties,I'd always have to come
00:14:50.982 --> 00:14:52.350
to that point.
00:14:52.450 --> 00:14:53.384
Let me just ask you something,sir, ma'am.
00:14:53.484 --> 00:14:55.520
Is God's Word the finalauthority in your life?
00:14:55.620 --> 00:14:58.323
Because if it is,we can fix this marriage.
00:14:58.423 --> 00:15:00.758
If it's not,I can't help you.
00:15:00.858 --> 00:15:03.261
So people who begin to moveand grow in their relationship
00:15:03.361 --> 00:15:06.064
with God,they understood that.
00:15:06.164 --> 00:15:08.266
Now, this third move,I got really excited about.
00:15:08.366 --> 00:15:11.069
And I want to remind you,this is a survey again,
00:15:11.169 --> 00:15:13.338
525 churches, 180.000 people.
00:15:13.438 --> 00:15:17.008
But one truth, people movefrom the third group
00:15:17.108 --> 00:15:21.079
to the fourth group --watch the word,
00:15:21.179 --> 00:15:24.082
you're going to seethat I really like it.
00:15:24.182 --> 00:15:25.883
When they understoodthe truth of giving.
00:15:25.984 --> 00:15:28.886
That's the theme ofthe Bible, right there.
00:15:28.987 --> 00:15:30.355
Now, here -- but, listen.
00:15:30.455 --> 00:15:31.789
It's not just giving money.
00:15:31.889 --> 00:15:33.992
It's giving your life.
00:15:34.092 --> 00:15:35.893
It's giving your life awayfor the Kingdom of God.
00:15:35.994 --> 00:15:38.096
These people understood,I'm not on the earth for me.
00:15:38.196 --> 00:15:41.099
I'm on the earth forthe Kingdom of God.
00:15:41.199 --> 00:15:43.401
And this is when God became --God centered.
00:15:43.501 --> 00:15:45.970
And they began to give oftheir time, their talents,
00:15:46.070 --> 00:15:50.074
and their treasure.
00:15:50.174 --> 00:15:51.409
you could also think aboutthis as "friendship".
00:15:51.509 --> 00:15:54.212
I just, you know,they all have "-ship".
00:15:54.312 --> 00:15:57.615
I'm just -- I'm gifted that way,but you could think about it,
00:15:57.715 --> 00:16:00.018
this is friendship.Okay?
00:16:00.118 --> 00:16:01.586
These people reallydon't know Christ,
00:16:01.686 --> 00:16:03.221
they've never met him.
00:16:03.321 --> 00:16:05.156
They've onlyheard about him.
00:16:05.256 --> 00:16:06.157
He's not a friend yet.
00:16:06.257 --> 00:16:07.592
Okay?
00:16:07.692 --> 00:16:08.426
These people,now he's a friend.
00:16:08.526 --> 00:16:10.595
He's become their friend.
00:16:10.695 --> 00:16:11.796
They have actually met himand been introduced to him
00:16:11.896 --> 00:16:13.598
through salvation,so he's a friend.
00:16:13.698 --> 00:16:15.967
These people,he's the best friend.
00:16:16.067 --> 00:16:18.703
He's their best friend.
00:16:18.803 --> 00:16:19.771
They talk to him.
00:16:19.871 --> 00:16:21.806
As a matter of fact,in the survey,
00:16:21.906 --> 00:16:22.940
these people rarelytalked to God.
00:16:23.041 --> 00:16:27.712
These people occasionallytalk to God.
00:16:27.812 --> 00:16:30.815
This is how we could tellthe difference.
00:16:30.915 --> 00:16:32.417
These people frequentlytalked to God,
00:16:32.517 --> 00:16:34.786
and these peopletalked to God often.
00:16:34.886 --> 00:16:36.721
So this is best friend.
00:16:36.821 --> 00:16:38.089
You say, "So, what?
00:16:38.189 --> 00:16:39.424
What's a higher than that?"
00:16:39.524 --> 00:16:40.558
Well, in our society,unfortunately,
00:16:40.658 --> 00:16:43.227
it's difficult sometimes forsome people to relate to this,
00:16:43.327 --> 00:16:45.563
because of the societywe live in.
00:16:45.663 --> 00:16:47.665
The sin, the fallen naturethat we live in,
00:16:47.765 --> 00:16:49.901
and it's gotten tosuch a degree,
00:16:50.001 --> 00:16:51.235
we don't understand this.
00:16:51.335 --> 00:16:52.270
But I'm going to show you.
00:16:52.370 --> 00:16:53.504
I'll give it to youin another term.
00:16:53.604 --> 00:16:54.906
This is the person, that notonly are you married to,
00:16:55.006 --> 00:16:58.076
but it's your soulmate -- asJimmy said a few weeks ago --
00:16:58.176 --> 00:17:00.845
it's the person you'vebeen married to 35 years,
00:17:00.945 --> 00:17:03.014
and you lay your lifedown for that person.
00:17:03.114 --> 00:17:05.416
That's -- when you see allof a sudden the Lord
00:17:05.516 --> 00:17:08.119
is now your husband.
00:17:08.219 --> 00:17:10.621
Your spouse.
00:17:10.721 --> 00:17:11.722
And you enter into adeeper relationship.
00:17:11.823 --> 00:17:13.291
But we're focusing on peoplewho are exploring God
00:17:13.391 --> 00:17:16.661
this weekend.
00:17:16.761 --> 00:17:17.662
All right?
00:17:17.762 --> 00:17:18.896
So let me just show you again --look back at Mark 4:14.
00:17:18.996 --> 00:17:24.402
It says: "The sowersows the word.
00:17:24.502 --> 00:17:26.871
And these are the onesby the wayside
00:17:26.971 --> 00:17:28.973
where the word is sown.
00:17:29.073 --> 00:17:30.975
When they hear, Satan comesimmediately and takes away
00:17:31.075 --> 00:17:37.849
the word that was sownin their hearts."
00:17:37.949 --> 00:17:42.120
Okay, two -- couple things Iwant to share about this.
00:17:42.220 --> 00:17:44.155
This is Jesus talking,remember.
00:17:44.255 --> 00:17:45.790
First of all, I'm --this is going to shock you.
00:17:45.890 --> 00:17:48.292
But Satan can take the wordout of your heart.
00:17:48.392 --> 00:17:52.597
That's what Jesus said.
00:17:53.898 --> 00:17:55.066
So if you disagree with me,I don't need an email on it.
00:17:55.166 --> 00:17:57.401
Email him.
00:17:57.502 --> 00:17:58.903
This is in red,by the way, okay?
00:17:59.003 --> 00:18:01.506
Satan comes immediatelyand takes away the word
00:18:01.606 --> 00:18:05.443
that was sown in their hearts.
00:18:05.543 --> 00:18:06.911
This is why you need toprotect your heart,
00:18:07.011 --> 00:18:09.480
'cause your heart is the groundthat can produce thirty,
00:18:09.580 --> 00:18:12.984
sixty, or a hundredfold.
00:18:13.084 --> 00:18:14.819
Or, Satan can take theword out of your heart.
00:18:14.919 --> 00:18:17.255
So it's very important.
00:18:17.355 --> 00:18:18.356
Now, you say, "Well,I'm not in that group.
00:18:18.456 --> 00:18:20.424
I don't need to hearthis message."
00:18:20.525 --> 00:18:21.459
Yes, you do.
00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:22.693
Because even if you're notin the group, exploring God,
00:18:22.793 --> 00:18:24.162
you know someonein this group.
00:18:24.262 --> 00:18:26.731
Is that right?
00:18:26.831 --> 00:18:28.099
You know someonein that group.
00:18:28.199 --> 00:18:30.034
We -- you're either in thisfirst group, or you know
00:18:30.134 --> 00:18:32.737
someone in this group.
00:18:32.837 --> 00:18:33.938
And here's what's amazing.
00:18:34.038 --> 00:18:35.439
Have you ever had someonethat you've been working on,
00:18:35.540 --> 00:18:38.176
and they go througha difficulty or a tragedy,
00:18:38.276 --> 00:18:41.112
and they're all of a suddenopen to God?
00:18:41.212 --> 00:18:43.781
You ever had that?
00:18:43.881 --> 00:18:45.049
And they're real open to God,and they even talk to you,
00:18:45.149 --> 00:18:47.585
and they ask foryour prayers and all.
00:18:47.685 --> 00:18:49.020
And a few weeks go by,and they're not open anymore?
00:18:49.120 --> 00:18:51.923
You ever seen that?
00:18:52.023 --> 00:18:53.524
You know why?
00:18:53.624 --> 00:18:54.592
Because Satan followed upon 'em immediately.
00:18:54.692 --> 00:18:57.862
The word was sown in theirheart, and Satan
00:18:57.962 --> 00:19:01.265
came and took it out.
00:19:01.365 --> 00:19:03.234
So I have a question for you.
00:19:03.334 --> 00:19:04.235
If Satan follows upon people immediately,
00:19:04.335 --> 00:19:06.404
why don't we?
00:19:06.504 --> 00:19:09.073
Why don't we follow upon 'em immediately?
00:19:09.173 --> 00:19:10.608
Okay.
00:19:10.708 --> 00:19:11.742
Now, this same parable inMark 4 is in Matthew 13
00:19:11.842 --> 00:19:16.113
and Luke 8.
00:19:16.214 --> 00:19:17.281
You don't need to turn to those,but I'm just going to
00:19:17.381 --> 00:19:19.050
read you that one verse inthose passages as well,
00:19:19.150 --> 00:19:22.086
and hopefully, the next fewweeks, you could read this
00:19:22.186 --> 00:19:24.622
in all the gospels, and maybein different versions.
00:19:24.722 --> 00:19:28.192
Matthew 13:19 says: "Whenanyone hears the word
00:19:28.292 --> 00:19:31.862
of the Kingdom" when anyonehears the word of the Kingdom,
00:19:31.963 --> 00:19:35.099
the gospel: "And does notunderstand it,
00:19:35.199 --> 00:19:39.270
the wicked one comes --then the wicked one comes
00:19:39.370 --> 00:19:41.839
and snatches away what was sownin his heart."
00:19:41.939 --> 00:19:46.477
Now, why does God want youto understand it?
00:19:46.577 --> 00:19:49.013
Well, Luke 8 tells us.
00:19:49.113 --> 00:19:51.549
Again, same verse.
00:19:51.649 --> 00:19:52.383
Luke 8:12.
00:19:52.483 --> 00:19:53.451
"Those by the waysideare the ones who hear.
00:19:53.551 --> 00:19:55.553
Then the devil comes andtakes away the word out of
00:19:55.653 --> 00:19:58.656
their hearts, lest theyshould believe and be saved."
00:19:58.756 --> 00:20:04.795
Did I not tell you that thesepeople haven't been saved yet?
00:20:04.895 --> 00:20:09.900
See?
00:20:10.001 --> 00:20:10.701
Lest they believeand be saved.
00:20:10.801 --> 00:20:13.271
Here are three thingsthat you need to know
00:20:13.371 --> 00:20:16.040
if you're in the exploringGod group,
00:20:16.140 --> 00:20:18.509
so that you can understandthe word, and be saved.
00:20:18.609 --> 00:20:22.446
Number one,this is on salvation,
00:20:22.546 --> 00:20:24.815
it's not based on works.
00:20:24.915 --> 00:20:27.952
It's not based on works.
00:20:28.052 --> 00:20:30.655
Ephesians 2:8-9 says:"For by grace you have
00:20:30.755 --> 00:20:34.158
been saved through faith,and that not of yourselves.
00:20:34.258 --> 00:20:38.829
It is the gift of God,not of works,
00:20:38.929 --> 00:20:42.433
lest anyone should boast."
00:20:42.533 --> 00:20:44.602
Listen, I've got good newsfor you.
00:20:44.702 --> 00:20:46.604
If you want to go to heaven,it's not based on your works.
00:20:46.704 --> 00:20:50.574
That's good news.
00:20:50.675 --> 00:20:51.942
It's based on his work.
00:20:52.043 --> 00:20:54.078
John 6:28-29.
00:20:54.178 --> 00:20:56.180
"They said to him, 'Whatshall we do, that we may work
00:20:56.280 --> 00:20:59.283
the works of God?'"
00:20:59.383 --> 00:21:02.186
Even plural, work the works,plural, of God.
00:21:02.286 --> 00:21:04.522
"Jesus answered and said tothem, 'This is the work of God,
00:21:04.622 --> 00:21:08.559
that you believe in himwhom he sent.'"
00:21:08.659 --> 00:21:12.096
That's how you get saved.
00:21:12.196 --> 00:21:13.431
Now, let me just saysomething, by the way, okay?
00:21:13.531 --> 00:21:16.167
These people arestill growing.
00:21:16.267 --> 00:21:17.835
I have noticed,more than anything,
00:21:17.935 --> 00:21:20.938
one of the greatest battlesagainst people I know
00:21:21.038 --> 00:21:23.941
who are in this group,it's to get them back in works.
00:21:24.041 --> 00:21:27.845
It's amazing to me.
00:21:27.945 --> 00:21:30.114
Because when you got saved,you knew that you didn't
00:21:30.214 --> 00:21:33.317
deserve it.
00:21:33.417 --> 00:21:34.518
There was no doubt,you didn't deserve it.
00:21:34.618 --> 00:21:36.587
But now, it's20 years later.
00:21:36.687 --> 00:21:38.756
And you're a leader inthe church, and you know
00:21:38.856 --> 00:21:40.391
the Word of God, and you tithe.
00:21:40.491 --> 00:21:45.029
You still don't deserve it.
00:21:45.129 --> 00:21:47.098
It's still by his grace.
00:21:47.198 --> 00:21:49.066
It's by his grace.
00:21:49.166 --> 00:21:50.101
Ephesians says it's a gift.
00:21:50.201 --> 00:21:52.203
It's a gift.
00:21:52.303 --> 00:21:53.204
So, point number one,it's not by works.
00:21:53.304 --> 00:21:54.839
Here's number two,it's a free gift.
00:21:54.939 --> 00:21:58.242
I've got even better newsfor you.
00:21:58.342 --> 00:21:59.577
Not only is it a gift,it's free.
00:21:59.677 --> 00:22:02.179
Romans 6:23 says: "Forthe wages of sin is death,"
00:22:02.279 --> 00:22:06.250
notice, wages, that's whatyou get if you work for it.
00:22:06.350 --> 00:22:09.019
That's what youget paid, death.
00:22:09.120 --> 00:22:11.822
"But the free gift of God iseternal life through
00:22:11.922 --> 00:22:17.361
Jesus Christ our Lord."
00:22:17.461 --> 00:22:19.263
I know there's an old hymn,but listen to me carefully.
00:22:19.363 --> 00:22:21.799
Jesus paid it all.
00:22:21.899 --> 00:22:23.601
He did not make a down paymenton your salvation,
00:22:23.701 --> 00:22:27.905
and you have to pay the rest.
00:22:28.005 --> 00:22:30.741
He paid it all.
00:22:30.841 --> 00:22:32.343
You just -- that's good --is that good news?
00:22:32.443 --> 00:22:33.944
That's good news, isn't it?
00:22:34.044 --> 00:22:36.514
He paid it all.
00:22:36.614 --> 00:22:37.448
You just receive it.
00:22:37.548 --> 00:22:39.383
It's like he made a depositin your name, and if you'll
00:22:39.483 --> 00:22:44.955
just go and sign up,you can receive it.
00:22:45.055 --> 00:22:48.259
That's what this is.
00:22:48.359 --> 00:22:49.527
And here's number three,it's easy to receive.
00:22:49.627 --> 00:22:53.431
We're talkingabout salvation.
00:22:53.531 --> 00:22:55.599
It's easy to receive.
00:22:55.699 --> 00:22:57.234
Romans 10:9 says: "If youconfess with your mouth
00:22:57.334 --> 00:22:59.770
the Lord Jesus and believe inyour heart that God raised
00:22:59.870 --> 00:23:03.574
him from the dead,you will be saved."
00:23:03.674 --> 00:23:06.977
That's the Bible.
00:23:07.077 --> 00:23:09.580
Don't complicatewhat God made simple.
00:23:09.680 --> 00:23:14.852
God took the mostcomplicated issue in the world,
00:23:14.952 --> 00:23:19.123
how can a sinful personhave a relationship
00:23:19.223 --> 00:23:21.091
with a holy God,and he made it simple.
00:23:21.192 --> 00:23:24.028
Confess with your mouth,and believe in your heart.
00:23:24.128 --> 00:23:26.263
And you'll be saved.
00:23:26.363 --> 00:23:28.799
That's pretty simple,isn't it?
00:23:28.899 --> 00:23:30.401
And if you are here today,and you're in this group,
00:23:30.501 --> 00:23:32.670
Exploring God, I'm telling you,it's easy.
00:23:32.770 --> 00:23:36.941
It's easy; you just have tobelieve that it's by grace
00:23:37.041 --> 00:23:40.511
that you get saved;not of your works.
00:23:40.611 --> 00:23:42.379
ROBERT: A few years ago,Debbie and I
00:23:43.280 --> 00:23:44.548
were in Guatemala,and we took an afternoon,
00:23:44.648 --> 00:23:47.284
and just went bysome shops there.
00:23:47.384 --> 00:23:48.919
And we walked into this shop,and we heard Christian music.
00:23:49.019 --> 00:23:52.957
So I found the ownerand I said to him,
00:23:53.057 --> 00:23:54.692
"Are you a Christian?"
00:23:54.792 --> 00:23:56.460
And he said, "No, I'm not."
00:23:56.560 --> 00:23:57.895
I said, "Why are you playingthis music?"
00:23:57.995 --> 00:23:59.363
He said, "I like it.
00:23:59.463 --> 00:24:00.397
There's something about itthat I like."
00:24:00.498 --> 00:24:02.833
And I said to him, "Did you knowthat it's easy
00:24:02.933 --> 00:24:06.203
to become a Christian?"
00:24:06.303 --> 00:24:07.905
And he said, "No.
00:24:08.005 --> 00:24:09.406
I've heard just the opposite."
00:24:09.507 --> 00:24:11.809
And I said, "Oh, no.
00:24:11.909 --> 00:24:12.576
It's very easy."
00:24:12.676 --> 00:24:14.245
And I took a few momentsand explained to him
00:24:14.345 --> 00:24:16.247
exactly what I've told youin this message,
00:24:16.347 --> 00:24:18.849
that God took the mostcomplicated issue in the world,
00:24:18.949 --> 00:24:22.219
and that is how cana sinful person
00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:24.755
be in a relationship with a holyGod, and God made it simple,
00:24:24.855 --> 00:24:28.726
because Jesus Christ, his Son,died for our sins.
00:24:28.826 --> 00:24:32.830
I'd like for you to acceptJesus right now,
00:24:32.930 --> 00:24:35.866
as your personal Lordand Savior.
00:24:35.966 --> 00:24:38.302
Just take a few momentsright now, and just follow me
00:24:38.402 --> 00:24:41.605
in this prayer.
00:24:41.705 --> 00:24:42.740
Just say, "Dear God,thank you for sending your Son
00:24:42.840 --> 00:24:46.577
to die for my sins.
00:24:46.677 --> 00:24:48.078
And I receive you today,as my Lord and as my Savior."
00:24:48.178 --> 00:24:54.618
Hey, if you prayed that prayer,according to the Word of God,
00:24:54.718 --> 00:24:58.222
you're a Christian now.
00:24:58.322 --> 00:24:59.557
And we'd love to help youand send you some resources
00:24:59.657 --> 00:25:02.426

00:25:02.526 --> 00:25:05.129
And I want to encourageall of you, watch next week,
00:25:05.229 --> 00:25:08.198
because I'm going tocontinue this series.
00:25:08.299 --> 00:25:09.934
We're going to talk aboutwhere we are, and how we go to
00:25:10.034 --> 00:25:12.937
the next step in ourrelationship with Christ.
00:25:13.037 --> 00:25:16.373
God bless you.
00:25:16.473 --> 00:25:17.875
ANNOUNCER: The Christian lifeisn't a destination,
00:25:17.975 --> 00:25:19.710
it's a journey.
00:25:19.810 --> 00:25:20.978
A journey to purpose, power,and productivity
00:25:21.078 --> 00:25:23.881
in God's Kingdom.
00:25:23.981 --> 00:25:25.182
In this, "You Are Here" series,Pastor Robert
00:25:25.282 --> 00:25:27.685
takes a practical lookat four specific milestones
00:25:27.785 --> 00:25:29.753
that we encounterin our journey:
00:25:29.853 --> 00:25:31.522
Fellowship, relationship,discipleship, and lordship.
00:25:31.622 --> 00:25:36.093
As you discover the natureof these milestones,
00:25:36.193 --> 00:25:38.529
you'll come to identifyprecisely where you are
00:25:38.629 --> 00:25:40.898
on this growth path,and more importantly,

how to get to your destination;God's highest and best
00:25:43.133 --> 00:25:45.769
for your life.

Pastor Robert explainsthe pitfalls that we face
00:25:47.071 --> 00:25:49.239
in each seasonof our journey,
00:25:49.340 --> 00:25:51.075
and he offers practicaland biblical steps
