[1080.06 --> 1081.34] I don't always know how to navigate that.
[1081.64 --> 1082.86] Maybe you struggle with that too.
[1083.40 --> 1084.12] The key though,
[1084.20 --> 1085.32] stay loving.
[1085.50 --> 1085.62] Yeah,
[1085.66 --> 1086.76] don't over talk.
[1087.00 --> 1087.78] That can happen too.
[1088.12 --> 1088.88] But sometimes,
[1089.06 --> 1091.12] sometimes we need to speak the truth
[1091.12 --> 1092.22] but make sure it's in love.
[1092.22 --> 1092.28] Love.
[1095.66 --> 1096.86] You know,
[1096.94 --> 1099.30] and I picture Jesus saying what He did.
[1099.42 --> 1099.52] You know,
[1099.58 --> 1101.30] I've come to bring fire
[1101.30 --> 1102.66] and I've come to bring division
[1102.66 --> 1103.86] and the crowd's going,
[1104.26 --> 1105.24] what?
[1105.24 --> 1108.28] And the disciples are sitting there
[1108.28 --> 1109.60] and some of them are estranged
[1109.60 --> 1110.60] from their families
[1110.60 --> 1112.46] because they follow Jesus.
[1113.40 --> 1115.14] They're living out the division
[1115.14 --> 1116.62] that came with that,
[1117.38 --> 1119.88] with their faith in Jesus.
[1121.60 --> 1123.54] Earlier on in our hard sayings of Jesus,
[1123.68 --> 1124.08] you know,
[1124.34 --> 1125.78] we talked about when He said,
[1126.44 --> 1126.84] you know,
[1126.88 --> 1128.00] you need to eat my body
[1128.00 --> 1128.80] and drink my blood
[1128.80 --> 1129.46] and the crowd,
[1129.58 --> 1129.78] what?
[1129.88 --> 1130.56] Walked away.
[1130.56 --> 1132.00] What is He talking about here?
[1132.00 --> 1133.54] And then Jesus asked the disciples,
[1133.66 --> 1135.12] are you guys leaving too?
[1136.10 --> 1136.56] And they said,
[1136.60 --> 1136.72] well,
[1136.76 --> 1137.50] where else do we go?
[1137.58 --> 1138.22] You are truth,
[1138.34 --> 1138.64] right?
[1140.02 --> 1141.28] And it struck me.
[1142.82 --> 1144.34] It struck me a while
[1144.34 --> 1145.34] when I was thinking about this,
[1146.28 --> 1147.40] about folks who had come
[1147.40 --> 1147.98] to Hope Community
[1147.98 --> 1149.08] over the years.
[1149.64 --> 1150.92] And sometimes they came,
[1151.38 --> 1152.34] and we were glad they,
[1152.56 --> 1153.80] for whatever reason they came,
[1154.10 --> 1155.84] but sometimes some of them came
[1155.84 --> 1157.72] for the good of their kids.
[1158.86 --> 1159.82] Kind of this sentiment.
[1159.82 --> 1161.14] It's good for the kids
[1161.14 --> 1162.28] to have a little religion.
[1164.52 --> 1164.78] You know,
[1165.24 --> 1166.38] let them hear a little God talk
[1166.38 --> 1166.72] once in a while.
[1166.76 --> 1167.12] That's good.
[1168.30 --> 1169.06] You don't have to take it
[1169.06 --> 1169.62] too seriously,
[1169.76 --> 1171.28] but just a little religion.
[1172.88 --> 1173.70] And it's interesting,
[1174.02 --> 1174.24] you know,
[1174.44 --> 1175.00] these kids,
[1175.12 --> 1176.54] they just like the programs
[1176.54 --> 1177.42] and the fun they had
[1177.42 --> 1179.06] in Cornerstone
[1179.06 --> 1179.80] and things like that.
[1179.90 --> 1180.76] So they were just having fun.
[1181.10 --> 1182.46] But eventually they became teenagers,
[1182.78 --> 1184.22] and they didn't like waking up
[1184.22 --> 1184.84] on Sunday mornings,
[1185.00 --> 1185.56] and they said,
[1185.62 --> 1185.72] ah,
[1185.72 --> 1186.58] we're not going anymore.
[1187.46 --> 1188.34] And the parents said,
[1188.40 --> 1188.50] well,
[1188.52 --> 1189.46] we're not going anymore either.
[1190.20 --> 1191.76] We've all had our little religion.
[1194.48 --> 1195.76] The problem with the little religion
[1195.76 --> 1198.38] is it's not absolute surrender
[1198.38 --> 1199.30] to the ways of Jesus.
[1203.22 --> 1204.70] And you don't get that peace
[1204.70 --> 1205.86] that's beyond understanding.
[1207.94 --> 1209.40] Jesus didn't come to bring
[1209.40 --> 1210.10] a little religion.
[1210.36 --> 1211.34] He came to bring life
[1211.34 --> 1212.32] in all its fullness.
[1212.64 --> 1214.10] And this demands our all.
[1214.10 --> 1216.46] And then we desperately find
[1216.46 --> 1218.06] the peace that we so much
[1218.06 --> 1219.52] are in need of.
[1221.56 --> 1222.94] Jesus said to the people
[1222.94 --> 1223.94] at that time,
[1224.00 --> 1224.10] He said,
[1224.16 --> 1224.80] you guys are pretty good
[1224.80 --> 1225.66] at predicting the weather,
[1225.94 --> 1227.10] but you completely missed
