THE RATTLE! OF RESURRECTION!

0:00:01.880 --> 0:00:04.439 Hey, this is Stephen Ferdik. I'm the pastor of Elevation 0:00:04.720 --> 0:00:06.920 Church and this is our podcast. I wanted to thank 0:00:06.960 --> 0:00:10.280 you for joining us today. Hope this inspires you. Hope 0:00:10.280 --> 0:00:12.319 it builds your faith. Hope it gives your perspective to 0:00:12.360 --> 0:00:16.800 see God is moving in your life. Enjoy the message. 0:00:17.720 --> 0:00:25.439 He lives, He leaves, he leaves. Come on, if you 0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:33.560 know he lives all caps, exclamation mark, come on, put 0:00:33.600 --> 0:00:41.919 a smile on your face. Mis abby. Growing up at 0:00:41.920 --> 0:00:44.720 the Methodist church, we would always say he has risen 0:00:45.159 --> 0:00:50.040 and then say back, he has risen. Indeed. Well, we 0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:52.920 can't say it to the people out loud today, but 0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:55.920 we can type it. So I say he has risen, 0:00:55.960 --> 0:01:01.680 and you say, indeed, he has risen. Indeed. I'm gonna 0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:04.240 give the YouTube delay thirty seconds just to catch up 0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:10.679 on my screen, and then I can see indeed, indeed, indeed, indeed, indeed. 0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:14.720 Come on. You gotta know that thing deep in your heart, 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:17.720 you remember the hem. You ask me how I know 0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:21.280 he lives. I didn't see him on the day that 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:23.200 he died or the day he got up, but he 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:27.200 lives within my heart. There is resurrection power on the 0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:34.520 inside of me. On the inside of you. Somebody say, indeed, indeed, wow, 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:39.679 I'll tell you what, man, this is really cool because 0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:43.680 I was expecting the room to be empty today, and 0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:47.480 from a health protocol standpoint, it is. There's only like 0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:51.400 two and a half people here, and I'm not gonna 0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:54.680 say who the half is. But what's really cool is 0:01:56.200 --> 0:02:00.720 it's not empty. It's not empty. I just need you 0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:03.000 to believe me when I say the glory of God 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:06.000 is in this place. The presence of the Lord is 0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:09.560 in this place. I believe that about your home right 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:13.040 now too. I believe the presence of God is filling 0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:16.640 up kitchens and living rooms. Come on, I believe some 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:18.760 of y'all are still in bed, but the presence of 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.760 the Lord is coming right in. Oh, you might set 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:26.799 up straight if you catch this. He is listen indeed, indeed, 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:34.000 so listen to me. This is very different, right. The 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:37.680 room isn't empty. It isn't empty. And sometimes on Easter, 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:41.359 I think we say things that on the surface are true, 0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:45.320 like we say that the tomb where Jesus was buried 0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:49.880 is empty, but it's really not. It's really not empty, 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:53.520 just like this room really isn't empty. It really isn't empty. 0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:57.880 First of all, when he left, he put his linens there, 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:01.760 so he wanted them to know that he folded his 0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:06.160 own clothes because he got up on purpose. Come on, 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:10.200 I got up on purpose today. Oh yeah. By the way, 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:13.560 I want to take the opportunity and apologize to my 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:16.560 mom before I tell you the rest of this. Mom, 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:19.440 I am so sorry. I have on a leather jacket 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:23.560 on Easter. I know this is not Easter apparel, but 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:26.280 since it's such a different Easter, but look, mom, it 0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:29.680 really is. I want to say something real quick. This 0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:33.680 jacket Chris gave me for my birthday, true story, and 0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:36.360 he put it on the inside for graves into gardens. 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:39.840 So somebody type in the chat, say, these are my 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:43.600 Easter clothes. Come on, some of y'all got on some 0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:49.920 big flannel pashamas. These are my Easter clothes. This is 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:55.080 my Eastern jacket. Hit the devil with a little bit 0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:59.400 of resurrection leather. Today. We aren't playing. We've got the 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:02.520 joy of Lord. He has risen. Indeed, why'd y'all slow 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:05.760 down on the chat? Somebody saying I got up on purpose. 0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:09.640 I woke up to connect to the presence of God. 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:14.880 I'm not here by accident. I'm up on purpose, yes, sir. 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:20.200 And not only that, not only that, the tomb had 0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:23.000 had linen in it, so it really wasn't empty. It 0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:25.920 just said he wasn't there he got up, But the 0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:28.760 tomb really wasn't empty, because let me tell you another 0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:32.599 thing that stayed in his tomb after he got up. 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:41.040 My fear, My fear is in that empty tomb. See 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:43.920 the reason I love it and the reason I don't 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:47.039 need a crowd to help me shout is because it's 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:51.040 not empty. My shame is in that tomb. My sin 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:54.440 is in that tomb. You know what was canceled, the 0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:58.039 record of ron that stood against me. I'm telling you 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:01.920 I left it all in the I'm leaving it all 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:08.000 in the grain, every regret, every sail, your pisto, empty pansation. 0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:14.480 By here, you are a sign against Jesus. This you 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:22.520 we got time. This Sunday morning visits sday. It's still Sunday, 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:34.080 my cup, It's still Sunday.

Come on, we'll release the 0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:06.920 sound of Resurrection. I grabbed my big boy microphone today 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:12.320 because I want to release the sound of Resurrection. Come on, 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:16.240 I got a fresh night bolt battery, and today we 0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:27.040 release the sound the Resurrection. I got so sad, Bishop, 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:31.640 because I was watching last year's Easter service and something 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:34.560 in me started to ache for the people to be here. 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:36.680 You know, we those of you that are a part 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:39.200 of our church. You know this. If you're just watching today, 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:41.760 because I don't know, somebody wouldn't leave you alone. They 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:44.159 bribe you with five Easter dollars in a purple egg 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:46.520 to get you to watch or something like that, then 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:49.320 maybe you won't get it. But we kind of vibe 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:51.720 off of each other, and we kind of preach off 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:54.120 of each other. And I don't really preach, I'm called 0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:57.080 the preacher, but we preach together through our giving and 0:06:57.200 --> 0:06:59.360 through our worshiping, and all of that is a part 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:01.760 of it. And man, our church is so weird because 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:04.000 you got so many different types of people in our church. 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:07.120 And I don't just mean like black or white or 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:10.640 Latino or any kind of designation like that. I mean 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:14.440 like some people grew up in church. I bet there's 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:17.240 somebody that's still got their Easter hat on even though 0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:19.720 it's just you and your cat today, because it's just like, 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:21.640 it ain't Easter without a hat. And what I was 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:23.400 going to tell you about my mom, she said, this 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:26.480 is the first Easter of her life. I was talking 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:28.720 to her yesterday, eric that she was not in a 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:33.280 church building. At first. She said, this is my first Easter. 0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:37.400 She's sixty six. And she said, because her dad was 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:39.280 a Methodist minister, that's the church I grew up in. 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:42.560 I love that church. Monk's Corner United Methodist. Shout out 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:46.000 Monk's Corner. If anybody's watching from Monk's Corner today, put 0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:49.240 it in the chat. But it's so awesome, because she 0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:51.600 said she stopped herself. She said, I almost said this 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:54.600 is my first Easter not going to church, and then 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:57.520 she said, but wait a minute. She said, I am church, 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:00.360 and she stopped herself and she said, so I'm still 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:04.320 I'm still going to be celebrating the resurrection. So sorry 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:07.840 about the leather jacket, mom, but I needed something to 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:10.600 kick the devil with. I put on some boots with 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:13.400 some snake skin on them too, just to let that serpent. No, 0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:16.640 he's under my bruised heel. Somebody give God a praise 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:19.400 right there in the chat. Put a stop emoji. I 0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:21.760 see you with the hat emojis and the sunshine in 0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:26.960 the heart. Somebody put a devil stomp in emoji. Yeah, 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:30.800 life is hard, but today we celebrate that God is 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:34.200 good and that he is overcome. And the darkness came, 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:36.559 but it only had one hour, and that the light 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:39.760 is stronger. We believe that for your life today, not 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:41.720 just to give you height, but to give you hope. 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:44.760 But sometimes every once in a while, you got to 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:47.160 find that place inside of you. Do me a favor 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:49.640 right now. I miss you so much. I wish you 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:51.520 were here. I wish yall were here like you normally 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:54.319 are in Easter, packed into the third overflow, watching on 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:56.240 a screen in the bathroom, trying to get in for 0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:59.000 the next service. But since we don't have that opportunity, 0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:02.080 just do right now what you normally do. All right. 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:04.559 You don't even have your grandma sitting next to you 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:06.439 that you dragged the church, and you don't even have 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:09.280 to be embarrassed. She can't even see right now, So 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:13.719 just go ahead. If you normally shout, shout, if you 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:17.960 normally lift your hands, yeah, right there, right there, right there, 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:21.079 right there as a family, and put it on Instagram 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:23.920 so I can see it in a few minutes after 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:32.640 I've reached this word, if you lift your hands, just 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:37.800 to signify that he has risen and I'm getting up to, 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:41.839 I'm getting up to. That's really the message that I 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:46.960 want to bring to you today. It's called expect a resurrection? 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:50.480 Are you ready? Are you ready? Are you ready? Are 0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:56.319 you ready? Expect a resurrection? Expect a resurrection? Somebody say, 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:59.960 I expect it. I expect it. In the chat expec 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:05.000 I expected in Pittsburgh. I expected in Milwaukee. I expected. 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:06.959 Come on, give me a city in the mic. Sometimes 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:10.640 I run out of cities to say. I expected in Singapore. 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:17.480 I expected in Seattle. I expected in Where do your 0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:28.760 parents live? Veronica? Where do your parents live? Hillsborough, Dillsburgh, Hillsborough, Dillsburg. 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:32.199 They're all here today. Come on, y'all as Eastern I 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:38.160 got resurrection power running in my veins today. You say, 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:40.920 didn't that preacher get the memo? It's the end of 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:44.000 the world. But guess what I found out. What happens 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:47.599 at the end is a new beginning. He showed me 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:50.800 that when he got up put my title back up. 0:10:51.200 --> 0:11:02.160 I expect a resurrection day. Come on, let's do it. 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:06.000 You want to do it right now. We got something 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:07.400 for you. We were gonna do it at the end, 0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:11.120 but I want to do it right now. Y'all. When 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:14.000 I tell you to text everybody you know and to 0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:17.439 tweet this link to everybody who follows you, and to 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:22.240 put this on Facebook to all of your politically opinionated friends, 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:24.720 just to let them know that Jesus is the name 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:27.439 above all names, let me tell you something now, y'all. 0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:29.600 Calm down, give me a moment to set this up properly. 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:35.559 I need something soft, Like it's Saturday, and like we're 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:40.959 wondering what to do in between, and the silence of 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:44.559 Saturday is starting to set in. And on Saturday you 0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:47.760 can't do anything because it's the Sabbath, and so you 0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:52.240 have to just wait. And just hours ago, you didn't 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:55.000 sleep much last night because it was hard to get 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:58.560 the images out of your mind of how they beat 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:04.800 the one that you believed in, how they broke his bones, 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:11.480 how they lashed his back. Most of all, you heard 0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:16.520 the cry ELOI love a sybotany, My God, my God, 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:21.240 why have you forsaken me? But when he said it 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:24.760 is finished, it was the last thing he said before Saturday. 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:28.439 And when they heard that it is finished from the 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:32.840 cross what Jesus said on Friday, many interpreted it. In fact, 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:36.480 most interpreted it like is over. Some of us feel 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:39.040 that way right now, life as we know it is over. 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:42.920 Maybe you're sitting here today saying my business is over. 0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:48.080 I lost my job. Many of you are sick right 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:51.079 now and feel like this is the end for you, 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:59.640 and you're just tuning in today, hoping, hoping. Hoping. Is 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:04.480 hard to hope when you don't hear anything. You know, 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:08.520 just like Mary and Martha, who lived in Bethany, who 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:11.319 are a big part of the ministry of Jesus, sent 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:13.840 word to him the one that you love is sick. 0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:18.679 That was their brother Lazarus. His name literally means one 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:23.760 who God helps. Embedded in his name is the expectation 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:27.880 that Jesus, who loved him, would come and heal him. 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:36.600 And yet these unmat expectations, these Saturday situations, these are 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:40.880 we going to find a cure for this? Are we 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:44.560 going to ever be what we were? Again? That's Saturday, 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:49.240 the part we want to skip past His Saturday, the 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:51.560 part where we want God to shout but we don't 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:59.679 even hear a whisper. When this global pandemic began, I 0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:02.920 told the Lord in my heart, than anything he gave 0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:05.600 us as a ministry during this time, we would release 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:11.360 it immediately, that we would release it, and so release 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:14.600 what God has put in us so that we can 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:18.440 receive what God has for us. Release and receive, Release 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:23.640 and receive. And it's hard to let go. It's hard 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:28.120 to accept something that's gone away. It's hard to accept 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:31.120 that maybe your kids won't go back to school this year. 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:32.800 And you're like, that's not hard for me to accept. Well, 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:36.040 if you're having to homeschool them, it is. Right now, 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:40.200 you'd be like, it's like Saturday every day. Okay, it's 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:42.680 like Saturday every day, And when your kids are little 0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:44.480 and you're trying to deal with that, it may not 0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:46.440 feel like the end of the world, but it's still 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:52.040 a Saturday. I found out something about Saturday. It's a setup. 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:57.880 I found out something about Saturday. It's a setup. And 0:14:57.960 --> 0:15:01.040 a couple of weeks ago, on a Saturday, I started 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:06.200 texting Chris this melody that had come into my mind 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:10.680 or my heart or my spirit the night before, and 0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:15.080 we start group texting with a friend of ours named Brandon, 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:21.640 and the sound that started to come forth just unfolded, unfolded, evolved, 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:24.960 evolved and grew and grew, and last Sunday, when Holly 0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:28.720 finished preaching that amazing message on the ways of God, 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:33.000 trading my worries for His ways, something told me to 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:35.040 come out on this stage and finish the song. Well, 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:38.320 what I didn't know is that God was using those 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:42.720 moments to release a sound of resurrection. And this is 0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:45.160 a different kind of Easter. Right Normally, right about now 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:47.720 here would come up pulpit and then we would stand 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:50.240 for the reading of God's Word. But God said, We're 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:54.040 going to do it different today all over the world. 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:57.800 What we're going to do right now is released the 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:05.160 sound of Sunday, the rattle of resurrection, into the silence 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:08.760 of Saturday. And I want you to move everything off 0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:12.200 your coffee table that could be knocked over, because right 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:16.600 now we are going to declare, like Ezekiel looking over 0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:21.800 the valley at dry bones, breathless bones, hopeless situation exiles, 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:27.560 declare the word of the Lord.

The sound of tribon 0:23:30.800 --> 0:23:38.240 come on, said live live, come on, It's a rattle 0:23:38.320 --> 0:23:43.840 of resurrection. Ezekiel said, the hand of the Lord was 0:23:43.960 --> 0:23:48.720 upon me, and I saw a valley full of bones 0:23:48.760 --> 0:23:56.119 that were very dry. Ezekiel said that the Lord asked 0:23:56.160 --> 0:24:00.440 me a question, son of man, can these bones again? 0:24:02.880 --> 0:24:06.200 And what Ezekiel said sounds like Saturday to me. He said, 0:24:07.160 --> 0:24:12.400 I don't know, Lord, I don't know. I don't really 0:24:12.520 --> 0:24:15.240 know what's going to happen next in our country, or 0:24:15.800 --> 0:24:19.240 in our world, or in my life. I don't know. 0:24:19.440 --> 0:24:21.479 For some of you who are on the front lines 0:24:22.080 --> 0:24:23.520 fighting for the rest of us. I don't know how 0:24:23.560 --> 0:24:27.040 I'm going to get the energy to face another day. 0:24:28.359 --> 0:24:31.760 I don't know. I don't know how I'm going to 0:24:31.880 --> 0:24:35.960 innovate and put my business back together. I don't really know. 0:24:37.560 --> 0:24:44.080 In fact, he said, you alone, Lord, No, that's Saturday. 0:24:46.359 --> 0:24:49.800 But something started happening when the word of the Lord 0:24:49.920 --> 0:24:51.480 came to Ezekiel, and I believe the word of the 0:24:51.520 --> 0:24:54.240 Lord is coming to you today. The word of the 0:24:54.280 --> 0:24:56.960 Lord came to Ezekiel, and he gave them an instruction. 0:24:58.200 --> 0:25:01.240 He said, Ezekiel, I know you don't understand. I know 0:25:01.359 --> 0:25:04.200 you can't explain it. And I know what you're looking 0:25:04.280 --> 0:25:06.879 at right now looks like bones on the valley of 0:25:07.000 --> 0:25:10.040 the floor. That's what your life might look like right now. 0:25:10.520 --> 0:25:12.520 That's what your mind might look like right now. Just 0:25:12.640 --> 0:25:17.600 disjoin it, discombobulated. I don't know what to do. Remember 0:25:17.720 --> 0:25:22.280 what Mary and Martha said to Jesus after he finally 0:25:22.359 --> 0:25:28.160 had the nerve to show up four days late. Where 0:25:28.200 --> 0:25:31.440 were you at when we sent for you? We didn't 0:25:31.480 --> 0:25:35.160 hear back from you. God, I prayed, and might didn't 0:25:35.160 --> 0:25:39.840 feel anything. And it's really amazing, And yeah, I am 0:25:40.359 --> 0:25:43.159 sweating like an Olympic athlete in this leather jacket, but 0:25:43.880 --> 0:25:48.120 I hear the sound right now. Well, Jesus didn't send 0:25:48.200 --> 0:25:53.240 back a message because he was the Word in the beginning, 0:25:53.359 --> 0:25:54.960 was the Word, and the Word was made flesh. So 0:25:55.680 --> 0:25:58.680 when the word of God shows up to a desperate situation, 0:25:59.800 --> 0:26:02.760 does not matter how dead it seems. I feel the 0:26:02.840 --> 0:26:06.000 presence of God in this empty room today. I since 0:26:06.080 --> 0:26:09.920 the presence of God flowing to people's emotions. Today. I 0:26:10.080 --> 0:26:12.480 since the presence of God. You say, the presence of 0:26:12.560 --> 0:26:15.280 God isn't a feeling, Well, it's not a feeling, but 0:26:15.440 --> 0:26:17.639 it will give you a feeling if you let this 0:26:17.840 --> 0:26:21.320 get in your heart and in your soul, past your 0:26:21.480 --> 0:26:25.560 mind where you're trying to figure it out. So listen 0:26:25.600 --> 0:26:28.800 to this. It's so powerful. And I'm going off of 0:26:28.840 --> 0:26:31.320 my memory here, but it was something like, he said, 0:26:31.720 --> 0:26:35.680 Son of Man, this is what you say to those bones. 0:26:36.280 --> 0:26:51.080 God says, Live, God says li. God God said, Lived said, 0:26:54.160 --> 0:26:56.000 I believe the word of the Lord to you today 0:26:56.160 --> 0:27:05.240 is this live Live. When the word of the Lord 0:27:05.480 --> 0:27:09.119 hit those dry bones, they had no choice but to 0:27:09.359 --> 0:27:13.159 stand up straight. I wish you would stand up straight. 0:27:13.359 --> 0:27:16.639 Right now, stand up straight and begin to clap your 0:27:16.760 --> 0:27:20.119 hands all over the world.

He still is. I am, He still is. 0:30:44.480 --> 0:30:47.600 I am just like he was for Moses, just like 0:30:47.720 --> 0:30:51.440 he was for Joseph, just like he was for Shadrack, 0:30:51.960 --> 0:30:55.000 just like he was for Daniel, just like he was 0:30:55.160 --> 0:31:01.200 for Abraham.

I 0:33:00.760 --> 0:33:03.120 half expected Joey to get up on a stack of 0:33:03.200 --> 0:33:10.520 speakers and jump off. Rattle, rattle, rattle, Come on, oh man, 0:33:10.640 --> 0:33:15.800 the resurrection. Rattle, the rattle. Oh I like it. The 0:33:16.000 --> 0:33:23.200 silence of Saturday and the rattle of resurrection. Wow. You 0:33:23.320 --> 0:33:25.600 know one thing that the stone at the tomb and 0:33:25.720 --> 0:33:28.840 the bones in the valley had in common. When God 0:33:28.960 --> 0:33:32.320 said live, they both started to shake. Come on, I 0:33:32.400 --> 0:33:36.240 feel something shaken in here today. I feel a stone 0:33:36.320 --> 0:33:40.680 rolling today, a heart opening, anxiety, Get out the way, 0:33:41.080 --> 0:33:45.280 panic attacked, put out to the name of Jesus, confusion, 0:33:45.720 --> 0:33:49.400 get out the room. When he says, move, you got 0:33:49.520 --> 0:33:56.120 a move, You'll got a move, Jill, got a move, 0:33:58.280 --> 0:34:24.080 You'll got a move. You still sound The sound, the sound, 0:34:24.239 --> 0:34:29.719 the sound. Whoa, Hey, if you got my phone number, 0:34:29.800 --> 0:34:32.600 text me real quick and tell me. Tell me if 0:34:32.600 --> 0:34:35.680 I'm going too crazy right now. I just felt like, 0:34:35.840 --> 0:34:38.960 you know what, we can sit in our houses and 0:34:39.160 --> 0:34:41.920 be in mourning like he's still dead, like his Friday, 0:34:42.680 --> 0:34:46.640 or we can acknowledge the fact it's still Sunday. So 0:34:46.880 --> 0:34:53.439 no matter what happens in my situation, Abby, I can live. Hey, 0:34:55.840 --> 0:34:57.719 I'm about to mess up all the Baptists because I'm 0:34:57.760 --> 0:34:59.520 about to hit a tongue. I'm about to hit a 0:34:59.600 --> 0:35:02.960 run of ungs. I'm gonna start speaking in every language 0:35:03.000 --> 0:35:08.640 on the screen. I'm telling you right now, you'll be polite. 0:35:09.000 --> 0:35:12.840 It's Easter. It's Easter. Then you know you're supposed to 0:35:12.960 --> 0:35:16.520 be bored on Easter. It's not like you have anything 0:35:16.560 --> 0:35:20.880 to be excited about. Well, anyway, what I was going 0:35:20.960 --> 0:35:24.520 to tell you, Lucilla, what I was going to tell you, Martha. 0:35:25.120 --> 0:35:27.439 I love the people who told their aunt to watch 0:35:27.640 --> 0:35:30.400 elevation today. It's like it'll be very nice. It'd be 0:35:30.440 --> 0:35:33.200 a nice service in a communion or something like that. Well, 0:35:33.680 --> 0:35:38.040 we are having communion. This is communion. This is a 0:35:38.160 --> 0:35:42.040 moment of celebration where we just for about fifty seven good, 0:35:42.160 --> 0:35:47.200 holy spirit filled, sanctified minutes, just celebrate that He still is. 0:35:47.280 --> 0:35:49.000 So here's what happened. Okay, I gotta give you this. 0:35:49.280 --> 0:35:52.719 I've had a promise. We're about to close. I think 0:35:53.760 --> 0:35:55.680 I don't really care. There's nobody waiting to get in 0:35:55.800 --> 0:35:59.400 the building. It's not like YouTube has a mac seating capacity. 0:36:00.000 --> 0:36:02.759 It's not like Facebook has an overflow room. Let's just 0:36:02.840 --> 0:36:07.320 have church, all right. So y'all are like, where's the sermon. 0:36:07.560 --> 0:36:13.600 This is the sermon, this is the sound. Resurrection is 0:36:13.680 --> 0:36:19.000 not an intellectual proposition. Resurrection is a present tense reality. 0:36:19.080 --> 0:36:22.040 So here's how I know that. Okay, Lazarus the one 0:36:22.080 --> 0:36:26.480 who God helps. This is Jesus' greatest miracle other than 0:36:26.520 --> 0:36:28.319 that fold his own linens. When he gets up from 0:36:28.360 --> 0:36:30.239 his own grave and come out with the keys of death, 0:36:30.280 --> 0:36:32.759 hell and the grave thing, that was pretty good. But 0:36:32.880 --> 0:36:34.880 this is the one that set the stage for resurrection. 0:36:35.040 --> 0:36:39.719 Somebody say in the chat, I'm expecting a resurrection now. 0:36:41.000 --> 0:36:45.120 When Lazarus died and Jesus did not send a message 0:36:45.200 --> 0:36:48.000 back to the sisters, it would have been easy to 0:36:48.080 --> 0:36:55.840 assume that his silence indicated his absence. Okay, God's silence. 0:36:55.920 --> 0:36:58.000 What I mean by that, when you don't feel God, 0:36:58.760 --> 0:37:00.759 or when you don't know what to do, or you 0:37:00.840 --> 0:37:02.840 can't figure out, you don't have a sense of direction, 0:37:03.280 --> 0:37:08.600 that doesn't mean he's gone. He still is. So when 0:37:08.719 --> 0:37:12.240 Jesus showed up and they were like, you know Martha 0:37:12.360 --> 0:37:13.960 was the first one out the house because she was 0:37:14.000 --> 0:37:17.520 an enneagram. What's the one I ate? The challenger was 0:37:17.560 --> 0:37:20.760 a well Martha could flip all between all the different 0:37:20.840 --> 0:37:23.520 enneagrams because one moment she was coming up to him like, 0:37:24.520 --> 0:37:28.200 you know what, if you would have been here, my 0:37:28.280 --> 0:37:33.360 brother wouldn't have died. And I wonder sometimes do we 0:37:33.480 --> 0:37:36.759 get crucified on that cross of what we thought God 0:37:36.960 --> 0:37:41.120 was going to do, thought you would come. I thought 0:37:41.160 --> 0:37:44.440 I was going to have a normal wedding. So many 0:37:44.480 --> 0:37:47.160 people come in on my social media accounts pray for 0:37:47.239 --> 0:37:50.719 me because this is my son's senior year, and he 0:37:50.800 --> 0:37:52.840 worked hard. He started out. One person told me he 0:37:52.880 --> 0:37:55.680 started out with a two point three gpa and he 0:37:55.800 --> 0:37:58.600 was going to graduate. And so now the graduation is 0:37:58.640 --> 0:38:01.200 going to be kind of anti climac, going to be 0:38:01.239 --> 0:38:05.279 flipping a tassel on the sofa and it's not very cool. 0:38:05.640 --> 0:38:09.320 It's no fun. Like Holly is having her birthday and 0:38:09.360 --> 0:38:10.640 I'm not going to tell you which one. That's up 0:38:10.680 --> 0:38:12.600 to her to tell you, but it's a significant one. 0:38:13.280 --> 0:38:15.160 Might be twenty, might be thirty, might be forty. It's 0:38:15.200 --> 0:38:17.759 one of those round numbers. And we had this whole 0:38:17.800 --> 0:38:20.080 thing planned, and she's like, oh man, it sounds small 0:38:20.080 --> 0:38:21.840 because so many people are suffering so much more. I 0:38:21.880 --> 0:38:23.600 know it's not a big deal. But even in the 0:38:23.719 --> 0:38:27.400 small ways, don't you know that that unat expectation can 0:38:27.480 --> 0:38:32.080 turn into resentment. So if it's resentment or if it's regret, 0:38:32.600 --> 0:38:35.200 it's like Martha and Mary saying, Lord, if you had 0:38:35.280 --> 0:38:40.640 been here, this wouldn't happen. God, why couldn't you keep 0:38:40.680 --> 0:38:42.600 this sickness away? Or why couldn't you keep it from 0:38:42.680 --> 0:38:46.560 ending this poorly? And it's amazing because Jesus had just 0:38:46.640 --> 0:38:50.600 finished telling his disciples this sickness will not end in death. 0:38:50.640 --> 0:38:55.919 And then it did, and then it did. Sometimes it does, 0:38:57.400 --> 0:39:03.600 sometimes it does her. Sometimes people do leave you. Sometimes 0:39:03.640 --> 0:39:09.080 it does get tougher. Happens to all of us. But 0:39:09.160 --> 0:39:11.160 here's what I want you to get in your spirit today, Okay, 0:39:11.280 --> 0:39:12.520 And if you want to put this in the chat 0:39:12.640 --> 0:39:15.080 or just say it out loud, even if it does, 0:39:17.280 --> 0:39:22.000 even if it does, even if it does, he still is. 0:39:27.000 --> 0:39:31.279 He's still with you, He's still for you. Not on 0:39:31.400 --> 0:39:35.080 the basis of circumstance, but on the basis of faith. 0:39:35.160 --> 0:39:39.239 I can say I expect a resurrection. And I just 0:39:39.320 --> 0:39:41.160 joined my faith with you today, not in a weird 0:39:41.239 --> 0:39:44.000 way where I send you some kind of like cloth 0:39:44.080 --> 0:39:46.440 in the mail or anything like that, but just by 0:39:46.520 --> 0:39:52.160 connecting our faith. Right now, I expect a resurrection. Yet 0:39:52.200 --> 0:39:55.080 I know that the only way to get to resurrection 0:39:55.280 --> 0:39:59.000 is to accept death. And that's what I was saying 0:39:59.080 --> 0:40:03.439 on Friday, on Good Friday, is that before Jesus could 0:40:03.480 --> 0:40:06.520 show up and call Lazarus from the grave, because he 0:40:06.600 --> 0:40:08.400 already had in mind what he was going to do, 0:40:08.520 --> 0:40:10.439 he was just trying to show them something new about 0:40:10.480 --> 0:40:12.960 who he was. That's what he's doing in your life 0:40:13.040 --> 0:40:16.120 right now. He's showing you how deep his comfort runs. 0:40:16.200 --> 0:40:20.359 It's beneath feelings, it's beneath facts, it's beneath logic, it's 0:40:20.400 --> 0:40:24.360 beyond it. So when he spoke to the sisters and 0:40:24.440 --> 0:40:27.919 they were still thinking about the past, what God could 0:40:27.960 --> 0:40:30.800 have done, and I know, I know you're there sometimes 0:40:30.840 --> 0:40:34.000 I am to God. If you would have just would 0:40:34.120 --> 0:40:36.759 if you would have just That's what she said. And 0:40:36.880 --> 0:40:41.600 then Jesus said, your brother will rise again, God says live. 0:40:42.840 --> 0:40:44.839 And then the sister was like, well, I know he will. 0:40:45.000 --> 0:40:48.320 On the last day, she was thinking about the eschatological 0:40:48.400 --> 0:40:52.239 implications of the resurrection. She was thinking about, Well, I 0:40:52.360 --> 0:40:53.680 know it's going to be all right when I get 0:40:53.680 --> 0:40:56.920 to heaven. You know that song from church, when we 0:40:56.960 --> 0:40:58.719 all get to heaven. What a day of rejoicing that 0:40:58.760 --> 0:41:00.279 will be when we all get to heaven. But we're 0:41:00.320 --> 0:41:03.759 not in heaven right now. Sometimes our life feels like 0:41:03.840 --> 0:41:07.319 a sort of purgatory where God's plan and our plan 0:41:07.480 --> 0:41:10.239 have no synchronicity. What's going to happen about your job? 0:41:10.320 --> 0:41:12.920 We were talking about that this week. This is real stuff. 0:41:13.719 --> 0:41:16.279 So resurrection has to be real to me. It can't 0:41:16.360 --> 0:41:19.000 just be what Jesus did, that's the past two thousand 0:41:19.080 --> 0:41:22.279 years ago. That's not the only thing that resurrection means 0:41:22.320 --> 0:41:25.759 to me. It can't just be about you know, my 0:41:25.920 --> 0:41:27.880 sins are forgiven, thank God they are, and I'm going 0:41:27.920 --> 0:41:29.879 to heaven one day when I die, and thank God 0:41:29.920 --> 0:41:33.120 I am. But it can't just be about that. Faith 0:41:33.200 --> 0:41:36.759 can't just be in the future, and purpose can't be 0:41:36.920 --> 0:41:41.080 stuck in the past. So what has to happen is 0:41:41.160 --> 0:41:44.280 what Jesus said to the sister when he gave the revelation. 0:41:44.400 --> 0:41:47.200 Are you ready for this? This is resurrection? Are you 0:41:47.320 --> 0:41:51.160 ready for resurrection because some of us are refusing right 0:41:51.239 --> 0:41:56.880 now to accept what was taken away and what changed. 0:41:57.920 --> 0:42:00.560 So we have lost our ability to expect what God 0:42:00.680 --> 0:42:04.360 is going to do next, and we can't deal with 0:42:04.440 --> 0:42:08.040 what is because we're still thinking about what should have been, 0:42:08.760 --> 0:42:11.080 could have been, would have been, or what will be. 0:42:12.480 --> 0:42:15.520 Like the Woman of God preached last Sunday, things that 0:42:15.600 --> 0:42:20.480 haven't even happened yet. And yet Jesus said the greatest revelation, 0:42:20.760 --> 0:42:22.680 not I am the Bread of life. They knew that 0:42:22.760 --> 0:42:25.160 they saw him feed the five thousand, Not I am 0:42:25.239 --> 0:42:28.880 the good Shepherd. They had seen him lead them throughout 0:42:28.880 --> 0:42:31.680 a three year tenure around the Sea of Galilee and 0:42:31.760 --> 0:42:34.560 all the places that he minister. But he went much 0:42:34.600 --> 0:42:37.960 deeper this time. The seventh of the I Am Statements 0:42:38.040 --> 0:42:47.480 of Jesus, he said, I am resurrection. Get it right. 0:42:49.320 --> 0:42:52.920 I do resurrection because he was going to raise Lazarus 0:42:52.960 --> 0:42:56.600 from the dead. And he does resurrection because he was 0:42:56.640 --> 0:42:59.960 going to get up himself. Lazarus was the opening app 0:43:00.120 --> 0:43:04.359 Do you understand that Lazarus was just getting the EQ right. 0:43:05.400 --> 0:43:11.440 Jesus said, I am resurrection. I am This is not 0:43:11.560 --> 0:43:14.960 a note taking sermon. Really, this is a sermon for 0:43:15.040 --> 0:43:20.839 you to receive the resurrection power of Jesus Christ by 0:43:20.880 --> 0:43:24.440 the Holy Spirit. And when he said I am resurrection, 0:43:24.600 --> 0:43:27.600 what he said next was so important. Are you listening 0:43:27.680 --> 0:43:30.600 to this? Aj, Let's put this down in the book. 0:43:30.880 --> 0:43:33.560 He said. He said, take me to the place where 0:43:33.600 --> 0:43:37.840 you laid him. That's where we've got to go, the 0:43:37.920 --> 0:43:42.640 place where we were disappointed. Now on Good Friday, I 0:43:42.760 --> 0:43:45.880 showed you how the first person do you remember, the 0:43:45.960 --> 0:43:50.160 first person that Jesus appeared to when he was resurrected, 0:43:50.280 --> 0:43:55.880 was not Peter, who was the preacher. It was not Matthew, 0:43:55.960 --> 0:43:58.839 the tax collector, all of these people that we call 0:43:58.960 --> 0:44:04.800 the disciples. He showed himself. Do you remember Mary, Mary 0:44:05.040 --> 0:44:08.920 from Magdala, out of whom he had cast seven demons. 0:44:09.800 --> 0:44:12.439 He had done a lot for her, and in turn, 0:44:12.560 --> 0:44:15.400 she had done a lot for him. And I love how. 0:44:15.440 --> 0:44:18.800 Gimme Mark, Yeah, Mark, Chapter sixteen, verse nine. You've already 0:44:18.800 --> 0:44:21.520 got it ready. Somebody say, I'm ready, I'm ready. I'm ready. 0:44:21.520 --> 0:44:23.719 I'm ready. I'm ready, I'm ready. I'm ready. I don't 0:44:23.719 --> 0:44:25.480 know what God is going to do, but I'm ready. 0:44:26.040 --> 0:44:28.960 I'm ready. He's with me. I'm ready. I'm ready to 0:44:29.040 --> 0:44:31.680 see how God is going to reveal himself. I'm ready. 0:44:32.640 --> 0:44:35.360 So when Jesus rose early on the first day of 0:44:35.400 --> 0:44:40.239 the week, he appeared first to marry Magdalene, out of 0:44:40.320 --> 0:44:44.160 whom he had driven seven demons. I love that the 0:44:44.239 --> 0:44:47.279 first one that he showed himself to was the one 0:44:47.280 --> 0:44:52.000 who had the most dysfunction. If we come to Jesus 0:44:52.120 --> 0:44:55.359 full of pride, we can't experience his power. But if 0:44:55.360 --> 0:44:58.680 we're saying today, I need your presence God, I'm an 0:44:58.719 --> 0:45:02.080 empty vessel. He will fill that empty vessel with his 0:45:02.239 --> 0:45:07.279 presence and power. So he showed himself first to Mary. 0:45:08.160 --> 0:45:09.960 And at first I thought maybe it was because she 0:45:10.120 --> 0:45:12.359 was wealthy, because history tells us she was a very 0:45:12.440 --> 0:45:16.320 wealthy woman. But now I think the reason that she 0:45:16.560 --> 0:45:19.479 was the first to witness his resurrection on Sunday morning. 0:45:19.680 --> 0:45:23.760 Check this out, John, I think it's because she fully 0:45:23.880 --> 0:45:29.800 accepted his death. If you will remember Peter and the 0:45:29.920 --> 0:45:35.359 other disciples, they resisted the idea that Jesus was going 0:45:35.480 --> 0:45:38.440 to be crucified. They wanted things to stay the way 0:45:38.520 --> 0:45:40.759 they were. Oh if you would have been here, Oh 0:45:40.920 --> 0:45:42.960 you should do this, This is what you should do. 0:45:43.200 --> 0:45:48.200 This is what you should have done. But Mary, Mary Magdalene, 0:45:48.280 --> 0:45:51.160 with some of the other women, look what she did 0:45:51.200 --> 0:45:57.319 on Friday. The Bible says in Mark chapter fifteen, verse 0:45:57.400 --> 0:46:00.880 forty six, that when Joseph brought some linen cloth and 0:46:00.960 --> 0:46:02.759 took down the body and wrapped it in the linen 0:46:02.840 --> 0:46:05.359 and placed it in a tomb cut out of a rock. 0:46:05.680 --> 0:46:09.600 Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb. 0:46:10.600 --> 0:46:15.800 They rolled a stone, and so on resurrection Sunday. It 0:46:15.880 --> 0:46:18.400 comes as no surprise. Look at the next verse that 0:46:18.640 --> 0:46:23.200 Mary Magdalene and the mother of josephs saw where he 0:46:23.400 --> 0:46:27.279 was laid. I get ready to get happy. Okay, are 0:46:27.320 --> 0:46:30.560 you all happy? I'm not saying is is life perfect? 0:46:30.600 --> 0:46:32.840 I'm saying, are you happy on the inside to know 0:46:33.360 --> 0:46:35.239 that you have resurrection power? All right? Check this out? 0:46:35.320 --> 0:46:36.839 I love it. I love it. I love it. Okay. 0:46:37.760 --> 0:46:39.919 It says that she saw where he was laid, where 0:46:39.960 --> 0:46:46.040 they rolled the stone. That same stone that they rolled 0:46:46.320 --> 0:46:50.759 when he was dead was the same stone she saw 0:46:51.040 --> 0:46:56.480 on Sunday that revealed his resurrection power. It was the 0:46:56.600 --> 0:47:01.600 same stone on Friday that they roll to say it's over. 0:47:02.000 --> 0:47:06.200 He's dead. There's no hope for you. Is over. Lazarus 0:47:06.360 --> 0:47:10.400 is dead. By this time. He's thinking, there's maggots already. 0:47:10.719 --> 0:47:14.440 It's bad, it's bad. But God said, tell the maggot 0:47:14.600 --> 0:47:20.600 stop eating his body, because when resurrection comes, everything is reversed. 0:47:21.120 --> 0:47:24.200 And the same stone that they rolled to keep him 0:47:24.239 --> 0:47:28.680 in the grave, I hear the sound of the rental 0:47:29.200 --> 0:47:34.520 of resurrection, speaking to your spirit, speaking to your joy, 0:47:35.120 --> 0:47:41.640 speaking to your peace. Lazarus Cook fussed, he is not here. 0:47:42.920 --> 0:48:01.280 He is resid. My God is ab said, even didn't 0:48:01.360 --> 0:48:08.440 live for many years, and restore any thing that I want. 0:48:08.520 --> 0:48:14.960 Somebody telling the stone to disess the family, but tell 0:48:15.200 --> 0:48:21.399 me lies and Defairsny think that he can't. He says, 0:48:21.520 --> 0:48:26.719 that's the stachouses stuff. What happens when God's faded too, 0:48:27.400 --> 0:48:35.400 and what happens when God sends stores time. Sir, I 0:48:35.680 --> 0:48:40.920 feel it, Boomy, I feel it too, mad it do 0:48:41.280 --> 0:48:46.719 It's good feeling too. M do it now, gotta do it. 0:48:48.960 --> 0:48:55.880 He sees the town on the table, time, he sees 0:48:56.000 --> 0:49:10.680 the place they can take me again. I'm coming out. 0:49:11.840 --> 0:49:32.279 I'm coming out of this. I'm coming out. Job. Thank 0:49:32.320 --> 0:49:39.719 you Jesus, We thank you for your power at work 0:49:39.800 --> 0:49:43.600 within us. L J. Minister right here right now. The 0:49:43.760 --> 0:49:49.840 resurrection is a reality, not a history lesson. Yes, he 0:49:49.920 --> 0:49:53.279 got up. It's not a metaphor, but it is a 0:49:53.360 --> 0:49:57.719 miracle that is available to all who will believe. Now 0:49:57.800 --> 0:50:02.239 listen to me. We can shout a lot and it's 0:50:02.320 --> 0:50:04.240 cool and it's great and it's right and it's fine. 0:50:05.000 --> 0:50:08.320 I feel fourteen years old again today. I'll tell you 0:50:08.440 --> 0:50:11.120 right now, this is what my punk rock self always 0:50:11.160 --> 0:50:14.000 wanted to preach like that, just to tell you dry bones, 0:50:14.080 --> 0:50:17.080 hear the word of the Lord. I don't understand why 0:50:17.120 --> 0:50:20.440 the world has the worst message and they scream at 0:50:20.440 --> 0:50:25.360 the loudest and we have the best message in me coming. No, 0:50:25.600 --> 0:50:29.080 this is our day. This is resurrection day, even in 0:50:29.160 --> 0:50:32.719 our homes. It's a resurrection in your home. So I 0:50:32.840 --> 0:50:36.080 just want to know today, what do you need to 0:50:36.239 --> 0:50:39.720 accept in this season? Just think about this, just reflect. 0:50:39.960 --> 0:50:42.440 We'll call this. We had the rattle of resurrection, but 0:50:42.480 --> 0:50:46.239 now let's have a moment of resurrection reflection. Come on, 0:50:46.320 --> 0:50:48.279 I got range. I can bring it way up or 0:50:48.320 --> 0:50:50.719 way down. So right now, I just want us to talk, 0:50:52.000 --> 0:50:54.800 just us, okay, and again, if you just tell me 0:50:54.840 --> 0:50:58.400 a first name and where you're watching from. Holly I 0:50:58.440 --> 0:51:01.840 got ninety text messages on my phone. I didn't know 0:51:01.960 --> 0:51:05.680 ninety people had my number. Praise the Lord, Tom Scott, 0:51:07.120 --> 0:51:11.120 your sister Emily texted me. She texted me Rattle of 0:51:11.200 --> 0:51:14.880 Resurrection with a snake emoji. I'm just kidding about the snake, 0:51:14.920 --> 0:51:18.240 but she did text me the Rattle of Resurrection. Levi Lusco, 0:51:18.360 --> 0:51:25.520 Tom Layman. Tom knows about resurrection. Yeah, Tom knows about resurrection. 0:51:25.680 --> 0:51:28.959 Tom and Lisa know about resurrection. That's one thing about 0:51:29.000 --> 0:51:32.719 this Easter. You know, Tom and Lisa are fam here 0:51:32.800 --> 0:51:35.120 at the church knows and our worldwide fam hasn't met 0:51:35.160 --> 0:51:37.719 them yet, but you will. They've been in the church 0:51:37.840 --> 0:51:41.000 so long and they lost their teenage son here on 0:51:41.120 --> 0:51:43.480 this earth. This was before you were here. Zeke at 0:51:43.520 --> 0:51:48.520 the church in twenty twelve, and through his life a 0:51:48.640 --> 0:51:53.000 ministry has been birth called Riley's Catch. And Riley loved 0:51:53.040 --> 0:51:55.040 to fish and he wanted to start a fishing club. 0:51:55.800 --> 0:51:57.920 And then his life was taken too soon in a 0:51:59.080 --> 0:52:02.000 car accident on the tenth night of our twelve night 0:52:02.080 --> 0:52:08.440 cod Orange Revival. And nothing in the world that his 0:52:08.640 --> 0:52:10.560 dad and mom wouldn't give to bring him back. But 0:52:10.680 --> 0:52:14.479 sometimes sometimes you don't get it back in the same form. 0:52:15.080 --> 0:52:18.680 But God is always bringing something forth. And that's what 0:52:18.800 --> 0:52:23.439 Tom told me when I preached for Riley's memorial. He said, 0:52:24.480 --> 0:52:27.400 we got to start that fishing club for him. I 0:52:27.480 --> 0:52:31.000 will make you fishers of men. And then they started 0:52:31.040 --> 0:52:34.240 inviting all of Riley's friends to join the fishing club. 0:52:34.400 --> 0:52:39.400 And they've seen hundreds of them except Christ. That's resurrection. 0:52:39.920 --> 0:52:43.239 You understand what I'm saying. So when we preach this, 0:52:43.320 --> 0:52:46.120 it's like, hey, man, are you in La La Land? 0:52:46.239 --> 0:52:48.279 Do you not watch the news? No? I check it. 0:52:48.400 --> 0:52:51.359 I don't watch it all day. Okay, If I watch 0:52:51.440 --> 0:52:53.359 it all day, I'm gonna be filled with worry all day. 0:52:54.440 --> 0:52:56.319 If I watch it all day, I'm gonna end up 0:52:56.360 --> 0:52:59.239 eating seventeen slices of cake to try to cancel out 0:52:59.680 --> 0:53:03.080 what I've feeling my nervous system and so my waistline 0:53:03.080 --> 0:53:06.600 can't afford to just watch the news all day. Even 0:53:06.640 --> 0:53:09.800 this Easter is the first one without Shiz, because he 0:53:09.840 --> 0:53:12.400 would sit over there where there's nobody in the building. 0:53:12.480 --> 0:53:18.279 Right now, he's not here. He's not here, and we 0:53:18.440 --> 0:53:20.880 lost Lashan way too soon, and I'm still not over that. 0:53:21.600 --> 0:53:24.800 He was helping my son learn how to make music, 0:53:25.600 --> 0:53:30.560 and to my son, Chiz was like the angel Gabriel, 0:53:31.320 --> 0:53:32.800 and it would even make me mad. He'd be like, 0:53:32.920 --> 0:53:34.800 Chiz says this, and Chiz says that he'd come on, 0:53:34.880 --> 0:53:36.759 I'd be like, I told you all that too, But 0:53:36.800 --> 0:53:40.440 when Chiz said it, he just said it better. And 0:53:40.520 --> 0:53:43.440 the fact that Jad in April, you know watching right now, 0:53:44.440 --> 0:53:50.960 we love you. Lashan still lives. Chiz still lives because 0:53:51.000 --> 0:53:55.439 God is resurrection. He is, He's not sitting in that seat. 0:53:55.640 --> 0:53:58.200 I was texting him last Easter because it was Coachella 0:53:58.680 --> 0:54:02.239 and Kanye was up there doing this amazing, amazing thing 0:54:02.320 --> 0:54:04.799 that ended up being bigger than any of us knew, 0:54:05.400 --> 0:54:07.759 and we were talking about how God is blurring the 0:54:07.880 --> 0:54:10.080 lines between, you know, all of these distinctions we have 0:54:10.600 --> 0:54:12.799 Black church and white church, and how God is doing 0:54:12.880 --> 0:54:16.040 a new thing and he was supposed to be here 0:54:16.120 --> 0:54:23.319 to see what we're experiencing today. But he still lives. 0:54:25.520 --> 0:54:27.239 His life is going to live on in such a 0:54:27.320 --> 0:54:34.640 powerful way because He still is resurrection. And it's only 0:54:34.760 --> 0:54:39.000 after April and Jet and Tom and Lisa have stood 0:54:40.000 --> 0:54:43.560 at the tomb and watch the stone be rolled that 0:54:43.680 --> 0:54:46.719 we can expect the resurrection on the other side. I 0:54:46.840 --> 0:54:52.440 feel the presence of the Lord. Come into your situation, 0:54:52.680 --> 0:54:58.839 Come into your valley, Come into your dry bones. You've 0:54:58.880 --> 0:55:06.080 been weary, you've been worried. That's all right. He still 0:55:06.200 --> 0:55:11.279 is Prince of Peace. He still is. He still is. 0:55:14.360 --> 0:55:17.200 And Jesus said, in a loud voice, I'm not going 0:55:17.280 --> 0:55:20.800 to do it now. But he hollered. He said, Lazarus, 0:55:20.840 --> 0:55:25.120 come forth. I believe God has calling some things for today. 0:55:27.040 --> 0:55:32.279 The only way to expect resurrection is to fully accept death. 0:55:34.239 --> 0:55:36.359 So what is God calling you to accept today? Maybe 0:55:36.400 --> 0:55:41.719 it's uncertainty. Maybe you control freak you you're having to acknowledge. 0:55:43.520 --> 0:55:46.520 I don't know what to do. I can't manipulate this. 0:55:47.800 --> 0:55:51.680 I can't fix this. Okay, you know what the moment 0:55:51.800 --> 0:55:57.120 you accept that expect resurrection, the moment you accept the 0:55:57.239 --> 0:56:00.200 pain and don't try to shove it down. Marian Mark like, 0:56:00.280 --> 0:56:04.640 we can't roll the stone away. It stinks in there. God. 0:56:04.680 --> 0:56:06.920 I can't be honest. I don't have it together. God, 0:56:07.000 --> 0:56:09.320 I can't believe in you. I have so much doubt. 0:56:10.800 --> 0:56:14.200 Here's what I love about it. Sometimes God asks you 0:56:14.320 --> 0:56:19.000 to roll your own stone away. That's just opening up 0:56:19.000 --> 0:56:23.800 your heart to receive resurrection. I want to pray with 0:56:23.880 --> 0:56:28.160 you right now. If you know somebody who's going through 0:56:28.920 --> 0:56:34.239 a silent Saturday right now, maybe you want to send 0:56:34.280 --> 0:56:35.920 him a link and say, I want you to watch this. 0:56:36.160 --> 0:56:39.600 It's gonna rebroadcast several times, and I don't even know 0:56:39.640 --> 0:56:42.480 if we'll put it online after that, because honestly, I 0:56:42.520 --> 0:56:44.560 don't know where the message starts and ends. But right now, 0:56:44.560 --> 0:56:46.839 I want to pray with you now. I just want 0:56:46.840 --> 0:56:51.239 to believe God with you for resurrection. Here's what I've learned. 0:56:51.280 --> 0:56:53.520 I learned it from Lazarus. I learned it from Mary Magdalen, 0:56:53.600 --> 0:56:58.000 who stood at the tomb, and because she faced Friday, 0:56:58.800 --> 0:57:01.960 she got to see him on side. Thank you Lord, 0:57:03.040 --> 0:57:05.800 Thank you Lord. I'm going to see him on Sunday. 0:57:07.880 --> 0:57:11.760 The beautiful thing about it is that, just like Jesus 0:57:11.880 --> 0:57:17.120 called Lazarus for, he's always bringing something for it. I 0:57:17.240 --> 0:57:19.280 believe He's using this time in some of our lives 0:57:19.480 --> 0:57:23.960 to set us free from the wrong priorities, helping us 0:57:24.040 --> 0:57:28.560 to do the math on what really matters, helping us 0:57:28.640 --> 0:57:31.760 to realize that we're in this together and we are 0:57:31.840 --> 0:57:36.280 not independent. I believe God's going to bring something forth Lazarus, 0:57:36.320 --> 0:57:38.840 come forth, dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. 0:57:40.040 --> 0:57:43.720 Ask the stone what happens when God says to move? 0:57:45.000 --> 0:57:46.959 And I want to pray for you right now, because listen, 0:57:47.000 --> 0:57:49.680 here's the whole message. If you're like I didn't like 0:57:49.800 --> 0:57:53.280 all that holler and screaming and jumping around about the bones. 0:57:53.360 --> 0:57:55.400 It was kind of scary there. I wanted to hear 0:57:55.560 --> 0:57:57.400 because he lives, and I was going to hear that 0:57:57.560 --> 0:57:59.960 on the Easter sermon. That's great. I like the him too. 0:58:00.480 --> 0:58:06.040 But here's what God said today. Unmet expectation is the 0:58:06.200 --> 0:58:13.320 starting point of resurrection. Unmet expectation is the starting point 0:58:14.120 --> 0:58:19.920 of resurrection. Right there in the chat, I expect resurrection. 0:58:21.080 --> 0:58:25.000 I expect him. So first of all, take your hands 0:58:25.120 --> 0:58:29.520 like this and say, God, I'm letting go. I'm letting 0:58:29.600 --> 0:58:31.560 go of what I thought my life was supposed to be. 0:58:31.640 --> 0:58:34.480 I'm letting go of the plans that I made for 0:58:34.560 --> 0:58:37.360 you know, the plans that you have for me, Plans 0:58:37.400 --> 0:58:38.960 to prosper me, not the harmony, give me hope in 0:58:38.960 --> 0:58:43.160 the future Jeremiah twenty nine to eleven. Plans to do 0:58:43.240 --> 0:58:45.440 exceeding abundantly above all that I ask or imagine according 0:58:45.480 --> 0:58:47.160 to your power that works mightily in us, the same 0:58:47.200 --> 0:58:49.760 power that raised Jesus from the dead Ephesians three twenty 0:58:50.360 --> 0:58:53.720 Now unto him who is able to save and deliver, 0:58:53.880 --> 0:58:59.000 and heal and restore anything. We thank you Lord for 0:58:59.080 --> 0:59:03.800 resurrection power. But the first step to resurrection, we know 0:59:04.000 --> 0:59:09.360 is release. So take your hands like this. Don't be stubborn, 0:59:10.520 --> 0:59:14.520 stop fixing cereal, You're not starving. Take your hands like this. 0:59:19.080 --> 0:59:26.400 Release Lord. I release the way I thought it should be. 0:59:28.120 --> 0:59:34.760 I release the calendar that I made. I released the 0:59:34.800 --> 0:59:37.520 way I expected to be at this age or stage. 0:59:37.760 --> 0:59:42.720 I release the way that I thought you were. You're 0:59:42.760 --> 0:59:45.600 more than I thought you were. You're not just the 0:59:45.680 --> 0:59:48.720 bread of life. You're not just the good shepherd. You're 0:59:48.760 --> 0:59:53.840 not just the way you are resurrection. You're not just 0:59:53.960 --> 1:00:02.040 the light. You are the life. Live. Receive life, come 1:00:02.120 --> 1:00:04.520 breadth from the four winds all over the world. Right now, 1:00:04.600 --> 1:00:11.680 breathe under people. Live, Live, Live, Live, Speak to your hope, Live, 1:00:12.840 --> 1:00:17.000 speak to your purpose. Live. I speak to the legacy 1:00:17.040 --> 1:00:19.840 of those that you've lost. Live it lives on. Resurrection 1:00:20.080 --> 1:00:28.160 is real. Resurrection is right now. He still is, He 1:00:28.280 --> 1:00:32.080 still rolls stones, He still forgive sins. He still saves. 1:00:34.560 --> 1:00:38.400 And now that you've released it, receive it. Come on, 1:00:38.600 --> 1:00:43.400 receive it, Receive it. Receive that healing for your broken heart. 1:00:44.920 --> 1:00:50.320 Receive that comfort in the midst of your chaos. Receive 1:00:50.440 --> 1:00:55.560 that confidence in the midst of your uncertainty. Receive it. 1:00:58.760 --> 1:01:02.080 You know, the scripture says to as many as received him, 1:01:02.120 --> 1:01:04.560 he gave the rights to become a children, the children 1:01:04.600 --> 1:01:09.480 of God. And I believe there's someone right now that 1:01:09.600 --> 1:01:13.680 God has you watching this because this is a moment 1:01:13.800 --> 1:01:20.120 for your resurrection. His already happened. He doesn't need to rise. 1:01:21.040 --> 1:01:25.120 You do. And I came out here today expecting, not 1:01:25.240 --> 1:01:29.960 knowing what to expect, but expecting that many hundreds, if 1:01:30.000 --> 1:01:33.800 not thousands, across the world hearing this message would place 1:01:33.880 --> 1:01:37.840 their faith in Jesus Christ. It's the funny thing about trouble. 1:01:39.720 --> 1:01:45.360 Trouble takes away all of our side pursuits and helps 1:01:45.440 --> 1:01:47.160 us to realize if I don't have God, I don't 1:01:47.200 --> 1:01:50.080 have anything. But I don't have peace. I don't have anything. 1:01:51.000 --> 1:01:53.120 I can't depend on other things. I can't depend on 1:01:53.200 --> 1:01:56.880 an economy. I can't even depend on my help. I 1:01:57.000 --> 1:02:01.800 need the invisible God to become real in my life, 1:02:01.840 --> 1:02:04.640 and right now I want to pray with you. We 1:02:04.760 --> 1:02:07.560 do this every Sunday, but this one is special. This 1:02:07.720 --> 1:02:12.440 one is for you, somebody who is ready to receive 1:02:12.520 --> 1:02:14.439 the grace of God. I want you to pray out 1:02:14.600 --> 1:02:17.240 loud all over the world. Let's stop right now and 1:02:17.320 --> 1:02:20.280 pray with those who are receiving Christ. The Bible says 1:02:20.320 --> 1:02:23.000 that if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, 1:02:23.040 --> 1:02:25.280 and believe in your heart that God raised him from 1:02:25.320 --> 1:02:28.600 the dead, you will be saved. It is by grace 1:02:28.720 --> 1:02:33.000 through faith. Receive this gift right now, and I want 1:02:33.040 --> 1:02:36.800 you to pray after me and invite Jesus Christ to 1:02:36.880 --> 1:02:43.840 come into your life. Say this, Heavenly Father, today is 1:02:44.040 --> 1:02:49.520 my day of resurrection. I am a sinner in need 1:02:49.600 --> 1:02:53.680 of a savior. I give you my life. I believe 1:02:54.360 --> 1:02:59.200 that Jesus Christ died for my sin, rose from the grave. 1:03:00.200 --> 1:03:05.160 Give me life. I receive this new life. I am 1:03:05.840 --> 1:03:13.040 a new creation. I am a child of God in Jesus' names. Amen, 1:03:14.440 --> 1:03:17.240 if you just prayed that prayer to receive Christ, We're 1:03:17.280 --> 1:03:20.240 gonna clap our hands, all eight of us on this stage. 1:03:20.560 --> 1:03:23.320 We're gonna clap our hands and play our instruments, and 1:03:23.400 --> 1:03:27.320 I want you to put in the chat.
