We'll make you feel right at home. 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:27.679 But we're glad to have you. And I'd like to 0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:29.679 start each week with something kind of funny. And of 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:31.760 course these jokes, I tell most of them are not 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:35.360 doctrinely correct, especially this one, but just to make us laugh. 0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:37.399 Heard about this guy that was walking. 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:40.560 Along the beach and God said, son, you've been so faithful, 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:44.240 I'm gonna grant you one special wish. He said, Well, God, 0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:47.480 I've always wanted to go to Hawaii, but I'm afraid 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:50.040 to fly. So my wish is that you would build 0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:53.840 me a bridge across the ocean. God said, son, that's impossible. 0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:56.839 Think of the logistics of that. Now take some time 0:02:56.960 --> 0:02:59.840 and wish again. He said, Okay, God, I've been mare 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:02.679 maried four times and all my ex wives tell me 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:05.800 I'm so insensitive. So my wish is that I might 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:08.679 be able to understand a woman. I want to know 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:11.000 why they think like they think, why they feel like 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:12.720 they feel. I want to know how to truly make 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:15.520 them happy. There was a long pause, and God said, 0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:18.200 do you want two lanes or four lanes on that bridge? 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:22.919 All right, hold your bibles up, say it like you 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:23.320 mean it. 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:26.920 This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:30.160 I have what it says I have. I can do 0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:32.919 what it says I can do. Today I will be 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:37.120 talked the word of God. How boldly confess. My mind 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:40.840 is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:45.640 the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:48.119 to talk to you today about the choices that you're 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:51.440 making and the legacy that you're leaving a lot of 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:54.400 times when we hear the word legacy, we think about 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:58.200 our accomplishments, how we'll be remembered, and even the money 0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:01.680 that we're leaving our family. But the Bible says we 0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:05.680 can leave something even more significant than that. It talks 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:10.040 about how we can store up blessings of mercy or 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:11.600 curses of iniquity. 0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:14.600 It all depends on how we live our lives. 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:18.760 If we choose to live a life of excellence, honoring God, 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:22.000 taking the high road, then not only are we going 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:25.520 to be blessed, but we are storing up mercy for 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:30.520 our children, for our grandchildren. The decisions we make today 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:34.800 are going to affect generations to come. We can either 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:37.440 make it easier on them or we can make it 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:41.800 more difficult. But the fact is, no person lives or 0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:46.200 dies unto himself. You are affecting others by the way 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:50.120 you live, either good or bad. Your life can be 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:53.400 a stepping stone for your children to do greater things, 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:57.000 or it can be a stumbling block that causes him 0:04:57.040 --> 0:05:00.640 to struggle and live in mediocrity. Every one of us 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:03.920 has an account in heaven. By the way we live, 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:07.599 we're either storing up these blessings of mercy or these 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:11.520 curses of iniquity. How do you store up mercy? By 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:15.480 making choices that honor God? Every time you come to church, 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:19.000 you're storing up mercy. You made a deposit in your 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:23.040 heavenly account today. When you overlook a wrong, you forgive 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:26.520 an offense, you're not just helping yourself. You're making a 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:30.600 deposit of mercy when you tithe your income, when you 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:34.080 help someone in need, when you resist that temptation, you 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:38.000 just made another deposit. On the other hand, when we 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:41.800 take the easy way out and compromise, go around with 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:46.960 bad attitudes, with unforgiveness, holding on to addictions. All we're 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:50.400 really doing is making the wrong kind of deposit. We're 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:54.200 storing up curses of iniquity. And the sad thing is 0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:57.720 our children and grandchildren will have to struggle with it. 0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:02.239 The Bible says equity of the Father can be passed 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:05.720 down for three or four generations. And some of you 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:08.520 are struggling with things right now that have been passed down, 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:11.719 and that will continue unless you rise up and. 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:12.640 Put a stop to it. 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:16.320 Why don't you be the one don't pass down curses 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:20.280 of iniquity by making poor choices. Now get that junk 0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:23.760 out of your account and start passing down these blessings 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:27.440 of mercy. I think about King David. He wasn't a 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:30.280 perfect man, but he did his best to live a 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:33.800 life that honored God. And in Psalm eighty nine it 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:38.040 talks about this covenant of mercy that David built up, 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:42.680 and God said, David, since you've served me, since you've 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:45.680 done your best to honor me, I will watch after 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:50.080 your seed, your children, your grandchildren, I will always look 0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:54.400 favorably toward them. And God went on to say, even 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:57.640 if they make mistakes, even if they get off course, 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:00.960 I will not give them what they do deserve. I 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:04.840 will show them mercy all because of the life that 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:08.920 you've lived. Notice God is saying when we make choices 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:12.080 that honor him, He's gonna watch after our children. He 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:16.960 will always look favorably toward them. And it's interesting. David 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:21.000 left his son Solomon millions and millions of dollars. And 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:24.000 it's great to leave your family money. But I believe 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:27.920 David left him something more valuable than that. He left 0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:31.840 him this covenant of mercy. We can do the same thing. 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:36.360 What are you storing up for your family? Blessings are curses, 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:41.760 mercy or iniquity? Friends, Our children have enough to overcome 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:46.120 without having to overcome our poor choices. Don't be selfish 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:49.240 and just think about me, me, me, Your choices are 0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:52.920 going to affect the generations to come. Well, man, I'm 0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:55.960 too tired to come to church. I don't feel like giving. 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:58.280 I'm not going to forgive that guy. He hurt me 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:01.840 too badly. To dig your heels in and do the 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:05.840 right thing, even when it's hard. Understand, you're not just 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:09.440 coming to church, You're storing up mercy, You're not just 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:13.480 forgiving a wrong, You're not just resisting temptation. You are 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:18.440 making a deposit of mercy into your heavenly account. Somebody 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:21.520 says to you, you're still volunteering at the nursing home 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:24.680 every week, you still get up early and read your Bible. Man, 0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:27.280 your answer should be, I sure do. I'm keeping my 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:30.640 mercy account full. Well, you've been through a lot of trouble. Man, 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:32.679 you've been through a lot of heartache. I thought for 0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:34.719 sure you'd be all negative, bitter. 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:37.400 Mad at God. No, I know God is still in control. 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:39.599 I know God still got me in the palm of 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:40.160 his hand. 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:44.760 And see, when you have that kind of attitude, you're 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:48.680 making deposits not only for yourself but for your descendants. 0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:52.040 Let me ask you today, what does your mercy account 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:52.480 look like? 0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:53.920 Is it full? 0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:55.080 Half full? 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:58.120 Or have you not made any deposits in a long time? 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:01.760 Why don't you start today? We all have areas where 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:04.520 we can come up higher. We have to learn to 0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:07.719 lay aside the weights that are holding us back, get 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:10.400 out of those areas that are causing you to compromise, 0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:15.040 make these changes, and then stay determined. And when you're 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:17.520 tired and you don't really feel like doing what's right. 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:21.160 You've got to remind yourself that you're making a deposit 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:24.319 of mercy. I'm not just coming to church. I'm not 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:27.880 just giving. I'm not just trying to beat this bad habit. No, 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:31.760 it's deeper than that. You are affecting generations to come 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:35.840 by your good choices. Others in your family line are 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:37.320 going to have it a whole lot easier. 0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:41.120 And not only that. When you establish this covenant of. 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:44.960 Mercy, then in your time of need, you can call 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:48.280 in all those seeds that have been sown. A few 0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:51.599 years ago, we were going through a difficult situation and 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:53.760 I was praying one day and this just came up 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:56.959 out of me. I said, God, you've seen all the 0:09:57.160 --> 0:10:01.079 seeds that my parents have sown, seen the seeds that 0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:04.479 my grandparents have sown. You've seen their life of integrity, 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:07.040 the people they've tried to help, and God, I'm just 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:10.679 calling in those seeds. I'm asking for your favor, not 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:13.559 just for the life I've lived, but for those that 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:17.160 have gone before me. You remember, back in the Bible days, 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:19.839 they used to pray to the God of Abraham, the 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:23.320 God of Isaac, the God of Jacob. It's a powerful 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:25.760 thing to be able to look back and say, God, 0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:29.480 you remember how much my father loved you. You remember 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:33.680 how my grandfather serves you. The Bible says a godly 0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:38.480 heritage is more valuable than a heritage of great wealth. 0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:41.559 And when you have God's mercy, in God's favor on 0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:44.280 your life, it will take you further than all the 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:47.200 money in the world. And if you don't have that today, 0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:49.839 don't get discouraged, because you can be the one to 0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:50.280 start it. 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:52.960 You can be the one to change your blood life. 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:55.760 And you may look back in your family history you 0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:59.640 just see a bunch of mediocrity, addictions, bad attitudes. 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:03.439 But thank God, the buck can stop with you. And 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:04.199 I believe that. 0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:09.360 I believe that there is a special reward for being 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:13.960 a first generation believer. See I had it easy. My parents, 0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:17.320 my grandparents, they paid the price. And if you had 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:20.880 godly parents, you should thank God every single day because, 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:23.439 whether you realize it or not, your life is a 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:24.080 whole lot. 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:27.000 Better because of the seeds of mercy that they've sown. 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:29.880 They may not have been perfect people, but they did 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:32.680 you a great favor by living a life that honored God. 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:37.360 Paul said in second Timothy, the faith I see in you, Timothy, 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:41.440 it first dwelt in your grandmother Lois, and in your 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:43.920 mother Eunice, and now I can see it in you. 0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:48.839 Paul was saying, Timothy, you're a third generation believer. And 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:51.439 what I see in you, it didn't start with you. 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:55.040 It started because you had a praying grandmother. It started 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:58.600 because that woman honored me with her life. She stored 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:01.280 up mercy, and it got passed down to your mother. 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:04.000 Now I can see it on you, and the good 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:06.079 news it's not gonna stop with you. It's gonna keep 0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:08.080 going from generation to generation. 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:11.520 I think about my father. 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:14.320 Daddy went to be with the Lord seven years ago 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:17.719 this month, and I know much of the favor, much 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:19.599 of the goodness of God that I'm seeing in my 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:21.319 own life didn't start with me. 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:22.960 It started with my father. 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:27.480 Daddy stored up a covenant of mercy for our family. 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:31.439 See before my father, in our family line, there was 0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:34.319 just a bunch of poverty, a bunch of defeat, a 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:37.680 bunch of mediocrity. But thank God, Daddy put a stop 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:41.240 to all of that junk. He changed our bloodlight by 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:44.680 the decisions he made, by the way he honored God 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:48.480 with his life. Now my children, my grandchildren will all 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:49.600 have it so much easier. 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:53.000 See, it makes a difference to store up this covenant 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:53.600 of mercy. 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:55.320 You may. 0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:59.440 You may be here today and like my father, everybody 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:02.719 around you is not doing right. But I would just 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:06.160 challenge you to don't let them drag you down, dig 0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:08.679 your heels in, and make a decision that you're going 0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:12.600 to honor God with your life anyway. I think about 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:14.240 King Saul. 0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:15.679 He had every. 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:18.439 Opportunity in the world to do what's right, but he 0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:21.000 just wouldn't do it. He wouldn't honor God with his life, 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:24.160 and eventually God had to take the throne away from him. 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:29.480 But Saul's son Jonathan, refused to fall in his father's footsteps. 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:31.520 And I'm sure it was difficult. 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:34.760 I mean, there's a lot of pressure when everybody around you, 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:38.640 especially your own family, is compromising and taking the easy 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:39.200 way out. 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:42.079 But Jonathan, he refused. 0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:42.040 To give in. 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:44.480 He just dug his heels in and he said, I 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:47.520 want to live a life of excellence in spite of 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:50.240 what I see my father doing. Now. I don't know 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:52.800 about you, but I don't want my family to have 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:55.760 to serve God in spite of me. I want them 0:13:55.800 --> 0:13:58.000 to serve God because of me. I want to be 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:01.040 a good example. I want to incur them in the faith. 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:04.679 And Jonathan just stayed on that high road. Well, one 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:07.920 day he and his father Saul were killed in a battle. 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:12.000 Many years later, David was sitting around thinking about his 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:16.160 friend Jonathan. The Bible says the memory of the righteous 0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:20.040 is blessed, and David thought, I want to do something 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:24.200 good for Jonathan's family. I loved him, he helped me 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:27.720 in I want to pay his family back in some way. Well, 0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:31.480 wonder why David thought that. I believe it was because 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:35.960 of the covenant of mercy that Jonathan had established. When 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:39.600 you make decisions that honor God, God will cause people 0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:42.080 to wanna be good to your children, to wanna be 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:45.400 good to your descendants. And David said to his servants, 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:48.040 is there anyone from the house of Jonathan that I 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:51.480 can bless Notice he didn't say, is there anyone from 0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:54.440 the house of Saul. Saul didn't have that covenant of 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:58.040 mercy stored up. Saul didn't live a life that honored God. 0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:02.960 And the servants said, yes, Jonathan has a young son. 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:06.560 He's crippled he's not able to walk, but he's still alive. 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:09.120 David said, well, I want you to go find him 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:11.800 and bring him back to the palace. I want him 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:14.400 to live with us, to eat with us, to be 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:17.480 a part of our family. Now, this young man was 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:21.000 living in extreme poverty in one of the worst places 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:23.920 of that day, but now he's being brought. 0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:25.720 To the palace to live in royalty. 0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:26.520 Now. 0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:28.680 I can imagine he sits down to eat dinner one 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:31.960 night and he says, King David, why are you showing 0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:34.760 me this favor? Why have you taken me in and 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:37.160 treated me like your own son. What did I ever 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:40.360 do to deserve this? David says, no offense to you, 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:43.800 but you didn't do anything to deserve this. I'm doing 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:47.760 this because of your father, Jonathan. Your father was like 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:51.480 a brother to me. Your father treated me with kindness 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:54.960 even when your grandfather was trying to kill me. Your 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:58.600 father lived a life of excellence. That's why you were 0:15:58.680 --> 0:15:59.960 sitting at my table today. 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:01.240 Friends. 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:03.960 It makes a difference to live a godly life, makes 0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:07.200 a difference to stay on the high road, to not compromise, 0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:10.960 and sometimes it's more difficult. You may have people that 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:13.640 are trying to pull you down. But if you'll dig 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:17.120 your heels in and do it anyway, the reward will 0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:20.080 be well worth it. And even if you don't do 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:22.840 it for yourself, you should do it for your children. 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:26.320 Think about this young man. He had no future to 0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:30.080 speak of. All the odds were against him. He was crippled, 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:34.520 his parents had been killed, He had no money, no education. 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:37.800 He looked like the least likely one to ever be 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:41.640 able to make it out. Know when somebody has stored 0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:44.880 up that covenant of mercy, doesn't matter what the circumstances 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:47.880 look like. God will find a way to take care 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:51.240 of your children. I don't know about you, but this 0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:54.080 makes it easier for me to sleep at night. Our 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:57.760 children have so much to overcome. There's so many areas 0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:00.360 we could worry about if we allowed our else to. 0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:04.000 But we can know that because we're doing our best, 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:08.679 because we're keeping God first, coming to church, serving and giving. Then, 0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:12.280 just like David, we have established that covenant of mercy, 0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:15.520 and God has promised He's gonna watch over our children, 0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:21.000 our grandchildren, our descendants to come. The scripture says the 0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:24.720 seed of the righteous will be mighty on the earth. 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:29.320 That means my children, Your children, they're not gonna just 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:34.320 barely get by. But because of your faithfulness, because you 0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:36.920 come to church even when you may not feel like it, 0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:41.399 because you stand strong and resistant temptation, because you're not 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:44.840 selfish and you reach out to others. God says, your 0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:48.040 children are not gonna barely get by. Your seed will 0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:50.800 be mighty on the earth. That means your children are 0:17:50.840 --> 0:17:54.560 gonna be leaders, They're gonna excel, They're gonna fulfill their 0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:58.240 God given destiny. And I realize you don't all have children, 0:17:58.560 --> 0:18:02.800 but you have relatives, you have nieces and nephews, and 0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:05.960 you can claim this same promise that because of the 0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:08.800 life that you are living, your seed is gonna be 0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:09.640 mighty on the earth. 0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:11.679 You're going to have this covenant of mercy. 0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:15.720 And what I'm saying today is, don't get discouraged in 0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:18.800 doing what's right. A lot of times it's easy to think, well, man, 0:18:18.840 --> 0:18:20.679 i've been coming to church and I don't see too 0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:23.680 much good happening in my life. I've been giving, but 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:27.080 I'm not seeing increase. I'm trying to beat this bad habit, 0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:28.879 but it just keeps getting me down. I might as 0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:32.399 well not even try. No, don't ever give up, because 0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:36.399 every time you even try, you're making a deposit of mercy. 0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:39.280 Every time you get in that car and drive to church, 0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:42.520 you're making another deposit. Every time you reach out and 0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:45.239 help that friend in need. Your account is getting more 0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:47.560 and more full. I want you to see it in 0:18:47.640 --> 0:18:50.120 a new light today. You're not just coming to church. 0:18:50.480 --> 0:18:53.320 You're not just doing a good deed. You are making 0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:58.720 an eternal deposit that can affect generations to come. Eleven 0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:03.159 years after David, his son Solomon had just finished building 0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:06.919 the Temple, and as Solomon was praying this dedication prayer, 0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:11.640 the last thing that he said was, Oh, God, remember 0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:15.760 the mercies of my father David. And at that moment, 0:19:16.119 --> 0:19:19.320 the glory of God filled the temple. It was so 0:19:19.560 --> 0:19:22.119 strong that they all had to bow down. They couldn't 0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:26.160 remain standing. And you think about it, eleven years after 0:19:26.320 --> 0:19:30.360 David had been gone, when his son Solomon simply reminded 0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:34.680 God of the mercies his father had stored up, supernatural 0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:38.400 things began to happen. No doubt, he touched the heartstrings 0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:41.840 of God when he said, God, you remember how my 0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:46.159 father David lived. Some of you today, just like me, 0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:50.840 you are being blessed in part because somebody went before 0:19:50.920 --> 0:19:54.600 you and paid the price. A parent, a grandparent, an aunt, 0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:58.520 an uncle. Somebody stored up mercy for you. And now 0:19:58.640 --> 0:20:01.520 your life is much easier now, God showing you more 0:20:01.600 --> 0:20:04.080 of his favor. You said, Joe, I don't know if 0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:07.000 my life's that easy, But no, who knows. You may 0:20:07.080 --> 0:20:09.760 not even be sitting here today if it were not 0:20:09.920 --> 0:20:13.680 for somebody in your family line that prayed, somebody that 0:20:13.800 --> 0:20:16.440 took us tand for what's right. You may have a 0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:19.560 few problems, but think about where you could be without 0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:22.040 the mercy of God. Think about where you might be 0:20:22.200 --> 0:20:24.480 if you didn't have that grandmother that went to church 0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:29.480 every Sunday when you were growing up. No doubt every 0:20:29.600 --> 0:20:32.919 one of us here today had somebody somewhere in our 0:20:32.960 --> 0:20:35.919 family line that made a deposit of mercy. 0:20:36.560 --> 0:20:36.879 I don't know. 0:20:37.000 --> 0:20:39.240 It could have been one hundred, two hundred years ago, 0:20:39.560 --> 0:20:42.560 but somebody got down on their knees and prayed to 0:20:42.640 --> 0:20:46.360 the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and now we're 0:20:46.400 --> 0:20:50.159 seeing the effects of it. See, David paid the price 0:20:50.720 --> 0:20:54.280 and his son Solomon reaped the benefits. Why don't you 0:20:54.359 --> 0:20:57.159 be the David in your family, or maybe you come 0:20:57.240 --> 0:20:59.639 from a family kind of like King Saul, where nobody 0:20:59.640 --> 0:21:02.480 will do Why don't you be the Jonathan in that family? 0:21:03.160 --> 0:21:05.760 As I said, there's a special reward for being a 0:21:05.840 --> 0:21:09.440 first generation believer. All the odds may be against you. 0:21:09.840 --> 0:21:13.200 The easy thing is to just settle for mediocrity. I'm 0:21:13.320 --> 0:21:16.120 challenging you today to take a stand for what's right. 0:21:16.760 --> 0:21:19.919 Make sure you're storing up mercy for you and your family, 0:21:20.520 --> 0:21:23.000 even in little things. You know, somebody cheat you out 0:21:23.000 --> 0:21:26.240 of a promotion at work, somebody manipulates things. Well, just 0:21:26.359 --> 0:21:29.080 let it go, don't hang on to it. Take the 0:21:29.200 --> 0:21:30.800 high road, and you're making. 0:21:30.600 --> 0:21:31.679 A deposit of mercy. 0:21:32.600 --> 0:21:34.879 Your friends want you to go out and compromise, do 0:21:35.040 --> 0:21:37.760 things that you know are not right. Take a stand, 0:21:37.880 --> 0:21:40.720 just tell no, that's not for me. Make a deposit 0:21:41.040 --> 0:21:43.720 into your mercy account. Or you get up and it's 0:21:43.760 --> 0:21:45.640 time to go to church, and you think, man, I need. 0:21:45.600 --> 0:21:47.359 To sleep in. I'm tired. 0:21:47.760 --> 0:21:50.639 I need to break no, dig your heels in and 0:21:50.800 --> 0:21:54.200 make an eternal deposit. And really, our attitude should be 0:21:54.560 --> 0:21:57.440 too much is at stake. I may not feel like 0:21:57.640 --> 0:21:59.560 doing it, but I'm gonna do it for my children. 0:22:00.240 --> 0:22:02.520 Do it for my grandchildren. I'm gonna make sure I've 0:22:02.520 --> 0:22:05.840 got my mercy account for See. It's one thing to 0:22:05.920 --> 0:22:08.359 take care of myself, to believe the best for me. 0:22:09.160 --> 0:22:11.760 But when it comes to God watching over my children, 0:22:12.400 --> 0:22:15.960 when it comes to their success, their safety, God's showing 0:22:16.040 --> 0:22:19.320 them favor, that's a different story. Makes it easy to 0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:22.520 get up early and spend time with God. Knowing that 0:22:22.600 --> 0:22:26.160 I'm making a deposit of mercy for my children, makes 0:22:26.200 --> 0:22:29.320 it easier to resist temptation to go the extra mile, 0:22:29.760 --> 0:22:33.199 knowing that those decisions are going to affect my descendants. 0:22:33.359 --> 0:22:36.880 For the good friends, we're all storing up something. We're 0:22:36.960 --> 0:22:42.000 either leaving blessings of mercy or curses of iniquity. Twenty 0:22:42.080 --> 0:22:46.040 three years after David died, Solomon, his son, wasn't making 0:22:46.200 --> 0:22:49.639 very good choices. He had married all these foreign women, 0:22:49.880 --> 0:22:52.920 and now he was worshiping their idols. And God said 0:22:52.960 --> 0:22:57.399 in First Kings eleven Solomon, normally I would take this 0:22:57.720 --> 0:23:02.240 throne away from you. You've done evil in my sight. However, 0:23:03.000 --> 0:23:06.280 I will not do it for your father David's sake. 0:23:07.080 --> 0:23:10.760 God was saying, in effect, Solomon, you deserve judgment. You've 0:23:10.840 --> 0:23:15.040 done wrong, But I am a loyal God, and your 0:23:15.200 --> 0:23:18.200 father David, even though he lived twenty three years ago, 0:23:18.600 --> 0:23:21.320 he stored up mercy for you, and I'm not gonna 0:23:21.359 --> 0:23:24.720 give you what you deserve because of the life he lived. 0:23:24.720 --> 0:23:25.879 I'm gonna show you mercy. 0:23:27.000 --> 0:23:30.719 Solomon eventually died and his son, Jeroboam took over the throne, 0:23:31.040 --> 0:23:34.879 David's grandson, and you would have thought he learned his lesson, 0:23:34.920 --> 0:23:36.960 but he did the same thing. He didn't honor God. 0:23:37.560 --> 0:23:41.000 And this was fifty seven years after David's death, and 0:23:41.119 --> 0:23:44.359 God basically said the same thing to him. He said, Jeroboam, 0:23:44.640 --> 0:23:47.640 I should send judgment for all the wrong things you're doing. 0:23:48.240 --> 0:23:52.040 Nevertheless, for my servant David's sake, I will not do it. 0:23:53.080 --> 0:23:56.320 Notice how this mercy is being passed down from generation 0:23:56.520 --> 0:24:00.400 to generation, all because one man chose to honor God. 0:24:01.480 --> 0:24:05.000 Three hundred and five years after David's death, one of 0:24:05.080 --> 0:24:08.760 his great great great grandchildren was on the throne of Israel, 0:24:09.280 --> 0:24:12.200 a man by the name of Hezekiah. And this evil 0:24:12.320 --> 0:24:16.320 king had surrounded Jerusalem, and it looked like Hezekiah and 0:24:16.440 --> 0:24:18.920 his people were doomed, looked like they didn't have a 0:24:18.960 --> 0:24:19.400 way out. 0:24:20.000 --> 0:24:22.240 Heekiah didn't know what to do, so he just prayed. 0:24:22.640 --> 0:24:25.080 To make a long story short, an angel of the 0:24:25.160 --> 0:24:28.440 Lord showed up, and in a split second, that angel 0:24:28.560 --> 0:24:32.119 wiped out one hundred and eighty thousand of those enemy 0:24:32.200 --> 0:24:34.679 troops and Isekiah's life and. 0:24:34.800 --> 0:24:36.159 City and people were spared. 0:24:36.680 --> 0:24:39.440 And when it was all said and done, Heekiah said, God, 0:24:39.760 --> 0:24:41.800 why did you do this for us? Why did you 0:24:42.000 --> 0:24:45.919 show us such favor? And God said, well, Hezekiah, there 0:24:46.040 --> 0:24:48.399 was a man. He's been gone for three hundred and. 0:24:48.480 --> 0:24:51.960 Five years, but this man loved me, he honored me. 0:24:52.080 --> 0:24:56.960 He served me, and I am a faithful God. And 0:24:57.080 --> 0:25:01.520 God said, in effect, Hezekiah, I'm not doing this because 0:25:01.560 --> 0:25:04.320 of you. I love you, but I'm doing this because 0:25:04.359 --> 0:25:07.720 of a man by the name of David. He established 0:25:07.760 --> 0:25:11.119 this covenant of mercy. And I promised him that I 0:25:11.160 --> 0:25:15.440 would always honor his seed. Friends, that's the same promise 0:25:15.520 --> 0:25:17.720 that God makes to you and I. If we will 0:25:17.840 --> 0:25:21.520 keep him first place, he will make sure that our 0:25:21.640 --> 0:25:24.800 seed is always taken care of. We may not even 0:25:24.840 --> 0:25:27.920 be around, But I love thinking about the fact that 0:25:28.080 --> 0:25:31.240 the life that I live, the decisions I make this 0:25:31.480 --> 0:25:35.399 year can affect my descendants for the good. For years 0:25:35.440 --> 0:25:37.720 and years to come, and I want God to be 0:25:37.800 --> 0:25:41.280 able to say to my relatives even one hundred two 0:25:41.359 --> 0:25:42.920 hundred years from now that need help. 0:25:43.640 --> 0:25:45.400 I'm not doing this for your sake. 0:25:46.080 --> 0:25:48.720 But way back in the year two thousand and six, 0:25:49.160 --> 0:25:53.880 there was this young, good looking minister that lived. I'm 0:25:54.000 --> 0:25:58.040 calling it by faith, this tall, handsome young man. And 0:25:58.160 --> 0:26:01.960 God says, you know what, he wasn't perfect, but he 0:26:02.080 --> 0:26:03.920 did his best to honor me. And you know what, 0:26:04.000 --> 0:26:06.160 I'm not gonna do this for your sake. I'm doing 0:26:06.200 --> 0:26:08.840 it for his sake. How that ought to stir us 0:26:08.960 --> 0:26:12.040 up to make our lives comp well, you said, Joel, 0:26:13.800 --> 0:26:15.840 He said, Joel Man. I came today wanted to hear 0:26:15.880 --> 0:26:18.000 about how I can get blessed. Not my family, not 0:26:18.160 --> 0:26:21.400 my relatives. Now listen, you can't have one without the other. 0:26:21.520 --> 0:26:24.040 You live a life of integrity and excellence, and you 0:26:24.280 --> 0:26:25.200 will be blessed. 0:26:25.520 --> 0:26:28.200 When you honor God. His blessings will chase you down 0:26:28.600 --> 0:26:29.359 and overtake you. 0:26:31.040 --> 0:26:33.600 We talked about how iniquity can be passed down for 0:26:33.680 --> 0:26:36.720 three or four generations. But look there in Deuteronomy seven, 0:26:36.840 --> 0:26:40.359 verse nine, it says God is a faithful god, and 0:26:40.520 --> 0:26:44.240 he will keep his covenant of mercy with those that 0:26:44.400 --> 0:26:49.040 love him for up to a thousand generations. That means 0:26:49.119 --> 0:26:51.639 the decisions you make this year, the fact that you 0:26:51.760 --> 0:26:55.280 even came today, the fact that you're watching a thousand 0:26:55.400 --> 0:26:58.720 generations from now. God's not gonna forget that you're making 0:26:58.800 --> 0:27:01.679 any eternal difference. And it's one thing to leave our 0:27:01.760 --> 0:27:04.680 family money, that's great, but let me challenge you to 0:27:04.840 --> 0:27:08.280 leave them something more valuable than cars and houses in 0:27:08.400 --> 0:27:11.920 real estate. Leave them a covenant of mercy, leave them 0:27:12.000 --> 0:27:14.879 a godly heritage. And when you're tired and you kind 0:27:14.920 --> 0:27:17.000 of don't feel like reading your Bible, I don't feel 0:27:17.080 --> 0:27:19.399 like serving, I don't feel like coming to church, you 0:27:19.480 --> 0:27:22.520 got to remind yourself that you're storing up mercy. And 0:27:22.600 --> 0:27:25.720 every time you leave this auditorium, you should say to yourself, 0:27:25.920 --> 0:27:29.200 I just made another deposit of mercy. Every time you 0:27:29.280 --> 0:27:31.440 get up early to read your Bible, every time you 0:27:31.560 --> 0:27:34.280 help somebody you need, you should feel better right down 0:27:34.359 --> 0:27:36.280 in here knowing that you made it a little bit 0:27:36.359 --> 0:27:38.760 easier on those that are coming after you. You are 0:27:38.800 --> 0:27:41.920 affecting your bloodline, and some of you know you need 0:27:42.040 --> 0:27:45.040 some new blood. You need some mercy and That's why 0:27:45.080 --> 0:27:47.959 I'm challenging you to live a real life of excellence. 0:27:48.680 --> 0:27:51.760 Remember, you never live your life unto yourself. 0:27:52.320 --> 0:27:55.080 You are affecting others, and there's more to life than 0:27:55.160 --> 0:27:57.720 just building a career. That's great, but there's more to 0:27:57.840 --> 0:28:02.000 life than making money. Are you stored any mercy? Are 0:28:02.080 --> 0:28:06.600 you taking time for your spiritual life? Come into church, serving, giving, 0:28:06.880 --> 0:28:10.120 helping others. Make sure you got your priorities in order 0:28:10.720 --> 0:28:13.520 and friends, if you will do like David and established 0:28:13.600 --> 0:28:17.720 his covenant of mercy, God promises you'll not only be blessed, 0:28:17.920 --> 0:28:21.600 but your seed will be mighty on the earth. Your children, 0:28:21.680 --> 0:28:26.280 your grandchildren, up to one thousand generations will experience more 0:28:26.440 --> 0:28:29.399 of God's favor because of the life that You've chosen 0:28:29.480 --> 0:28:29.800 to live. 0:28:30.000 --> 0:28:31.000 Do you receive it today? 0:28:31.560 --> 0:28:32.119 I know you do. 0:28:33.000 --> 0:28:35.960 We never like to close our broadcast without giving you 0:28:36.200 --> 0:28:39.080 an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life. 0:28:39.480 --> 0:28:40.480 Would you pray with me? 0:28:41.120 --> 0:28:45.040 Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins. 0:28:46.280 --> 0:28:49.920 Come into my heart. I make you my Lord and savior. 0:28:51.320 --> 0:28:53.680 Friends, if you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you 0:28:53.760 --> 0:28:56.800 got born again.
