[1196.04 --> 1197.86] No, authority rests with you. |
[1198.06 --> 1199.72] You can do whatever you feel like it. |
[1199.88 --> 1201.36] Don't let anybody tell you what to do. |
[1201.66 --> 1202.50] You do you. |
[1202.62 --> 1203.48] That's your truth. |
[1203.68 --> 1204.62] And we hear all these lies. |
[1207.70 --> 1208.88] And there we stand |
[1208.88 --> 1209.74] with Jesus, |
[1210.48 --> 1212.36] our true source of life |
[1212.36 --> 1213.20] and strength |
[1213.20 --> 1214.24] and truth. |
[1215.24 --> 1216.38] Jesus, our Messiah. |
[1217.40 --> 1219.12] Jesus, the Son of God. |
[1219.54 --> 1220.60] He is our unity, |
[1220.98 --> 1221.98] our source of authority, |
[1222.38 --> 1224.16] the one who we build our lives on. |
[1224.16 --> 1225.70] And the job of the church |
[1225.70 --> 1227.06] is to confess him |
[1227.06 --> 1229.64] and to live like him. |
[1231.88 --> 1234.64] Too often, we want Jesus plus. |
[1236.10 --> 1238.18] We want Jesus on our side. |
[1238.28 --> 1240.58] We want Jesus to look a lot more like us |
[1240.58 --> 1241.52] instead of us like him. |
[1241.74 --> 1244.18] We want Jesus to fit into the world around us. |
[1244.66 --> 1246.16] We want him to be palatable. |
[1246.16 --> 1251.26] And yet, we confess. |
[1252.60 --> 1253.38] With Peter, |
[1253.78 --> 1255.38] Jesus is Messiah. |
[1255.76 --> 1257.04] Jesus is the Son of God. |
[1257.82 --> 1259.32] Jesus is the one we're waiting for. |
[1259.64 --> 1260.98] Jesus is the one who reigns. |
[1261.24 --> 1262.30] Jesus is the rock, |
[1262.54 --> 1263.14] the cornerstone, |
[1263.32 --> 1264.56] the foundation of it all. |
[1266.16 --> 1266.66] And Peter, |
[1267.04 --> 1268.02] Peter and us, |
[1268.28 --> 1270.32] we might not always comprehend fully |
[1270.32 --> 1271.04] what that means |
[1271.04 --> 1271.98] when we confess that. |
[1271.98 --> 1274.00] And I think we're all working on that. |
[1274.10 --> 1275.12] We'll probably work on that |
[1275.12 --> 1276.74] for the rest of our lives. |
[1277.90 --> 1279.54] We'll learn what it means |
[1279.54 --> 1281.50] to live out our confession. |
[1281.86 --> 1283.36] That's what we're doing. |
[1284.74 --> 1286.28] And we'll do this in community |
[1286.28 --> 1287.38] as Christ's church. |
[1288.04 --> 1289.64] Because we can't do it alone. |
[1291.18 --> 1291.50] And yeah, |
[1291.60 --> 1292.62] there will be times we struggle. |
[1292.84 --> 1294.04] We struggle to understand it all. |
[1294.30 --> 1296.24] And then we'll bind and we'll loose |
[1296.24 --> 1298.22] and we'll join God's work of redemption. |
[1298.22 --> 1301.96] If Jesus is the Messiah, |
[1302.06 --> 1302.74] and we believe he is, |
[1303.02 --> 1305.32] the one who inaugurates the realm of God, |
[1305.72 --> 1307.16] then it would seem that those |
[1307.16 --> 1308.30] who accept the mission |
[1308.30 --> 1309.92] to become part of that team |
[1309.92 --> 1311.72] that helps bring that realm, |
[1311.84 --> 1312.62] the kingdom of God, |
[1312.94 --> 1315.86] into existence more and more and more. |
[1318.02 --> 1319.54] We have a choice as a church, |
[1320.38 --> 1320.92] as a people. |
[1321.40 --> 1323.98] We can participate in God's work |
[1323.98 --> 1325.52] of loosening the creation |
[1325.52 --> 1326.54] from its bondage. |
[1326.54 --> 1328.66] Whatever that bondage looks like, |
[1329.24 --> 1331.20] by bringing the message |
[1331.20 --> 1333.18] of forgiveness and reconciliation, |
[1334.38 --> 1336.76] or we can ignore the mission completely |
[1336.76 --> 1338.64] and just look out for ourselves |
[1338.64 --> 1339.88] and hunker down. |
[1342.40 --> 1343.80] That's not the one I want. |
[1346.58 --> 1348.50] And then the question remains, |
[1348.98 --> 1351.04] if we're going to go on this mission, |
[1351.24 --> 1352.88] if we're going to go to the gates of hell itself, |
[1353.10 --> 1354.32] what would it look like |
[1354.32 --> 1355.92] for us as Hope Community Church |
[1355.92 --> 1357.64] to live out of our confessions |
[1357.64 --> 1359.16] more and more this year? |
[1360.80 --> 1363.12] What if we too would see ourselves |
[1363.12 --> 1364.24] as rocks? |
[1364.50 --> 1365.32] We're rocks. |
[1365.44 --> 1366.22] Jesus said so. |
[1366.46 --> 1368.06] Built on the foundation of Jesus. |
[1369.26 --> 1371.00] We're part of the structure. |
[1372.36 --> 1373.54] How will that change |
[1373.54 --> 1374.62] the way we get up in the morning? |
[1376.22 --> 1377.72] Every morning, get up and, |
[1378.86 --> 1379.92] I am a rock! |
[1379.92 --> 1383.38] versus, I need to hide somewhere. |
[1387.00 --> 1388.58] What will that mean to us |
[1388.58 --> 1389.58] as we are the church? |
[1390.64 --> 1391.78] So there we are. |
[1392.46 --> 1393.26] You're there too. |
[1394.18 --> 1395.18] Standing with Jesus |
[1395.18 --> 1396.48] before the gates of hell, |
[1396.62 --> 1398.42] before all that's wrong, |
[1399.02 --> 1400.12] before all that proclaims, |
