[1015.14 --> 1017.42] to get caught up in power.
[1022.26 --> 1023.66] The church has been guilty
[1023.66 --> 1024.92] of that throughout history.
[1025.86 --> 1027.38] Getting caught up in politics.
[1027.60 --> 1028.84] Getting caught up in power.
[1029.74 --> 1031.22] Getting caught up in the human thing.
[1031.70 --> 1032.26] And forgetting
[1032.26 --> 1033.90] what is the biggest point.
[1034.24 --> 1036.02] Your names are written
[1036.02 --> 1037.06] in heaven.
[1039.06 --> 1041.32] Jesus saved you.
[1041.98 --> 1042.50] Why?
[1042.84 --> 1045.06] Because you needed saving.
[1049.84 --> 1050.70] Instead of,
[1051.12 --> 1051.84] look what I can do.
[1051.92 --> 1053.26] Look what we can do.
[1055.44 --> 1057.26] And then you forget
[1057.26 --> 1058.30] about your need
[1058.30 --> 1059.44] for salvation through Jesus.
[1059.68 --> 1060.54] And God's grace
[1060.54 --> 1061.48] ought to be
[1061.48 --> 1062.96] your greatest joy.
[1064.58 --> 1065.46] Your name
[1065.46 --> 1066.34] is written in heaven
[1066.34 --> 1067.72] because of Jesus.
[1068.74 --> 1069.84] Rejoice in that.
[1070.16 --> 1071.36] Stay focused on that
[1071.36 --> 1072.56] and then share that.
[1074.24 --> 1074.44] You know,
[1074.48 --> 1075.44] I've seen churches
[1075.44 --> 1077.80] that have had huge fights
[1077.80 --> 1078.40] over what color
[1078.40 --> 1079.34] the carpet should be.
[1079.34 --> 1082.30] I remember growing up
[1082.30 --> 1083.34] in the church
[1083.34 --> 1083.90] I grew up in
[1083.90 --> 1085.36] and there was a big fight
[1085.36 --> 1087.18] about a pipe organ
[1087.18 --> 1090.40] and who got to play it.
[1092.00 --> 1092.44] And suddenly
[1092.44 --> 1093.50] it was more about ego
[1093.50 --> 1094.80] than it was about worship.
[1096.38 --> 1097.20] Or having arguments
[1097.20 --> 1097.88] in another church
[1097.88 --> 1098.44] where I was at
[1098.44 --> 1100.22] about what style of music.
[1100.70 --> 1101.92] Or can you have drums?
[1102.04 --> 1103.42] Or whatever it might be.
[1103.84 --> 1104.12] And you know,
[1104.26 --> 1105.38] and you have big fights
[1105.38 --> 1106.00] over stuff
[1106.00 --> 1106.94] and the focus
[1106.94 --> 1108.22] isn't Jesus anymore.
[1108.40 --> 1108.84] It isn't.
[1109.00 --> 1109.64] It's our egos.
[1113.00 --> 1114.06] I've seen pastors
[1114.06 --> 1115.58] and every pastor
[1115.58 --> 1116.18] who has to fight it
[1116.18 --> 1117.78] has to keep their ego
[1117.78 --> 1119.08] out of the way.
[1119.44 --> 1120.34] I've seen Christians
[1120.34 --> 1120.98] who supposedly
[1120.98 --> 1121.62] love each other
[1121.62 --> 1122.96] fight in ugly ways
[1122.96 --> 1123.64] over issues.
[1124.66 --> 1125.14] Forgetting
[1125.14 --> 1126.56] their names
[1126.56 --> 1127.24] and the names
[1127.24 --> 1127.68] of the ones
[1127.68 --> 1128.72] they're hating on
[1128.72 --> 1131.04] are written
[1131.04 --> 1131.90] in heaven.
[1133.08 --> 1133.94] Like your brothers
[1133.94 --> 1134.52] and sisters
[1134.52 --> 1135.94] in the saving grace
[1135.94 --> 1136.70] of Christ.
[1138.12 --> 1138.32] Yeah,
[1138.40 --> 1139.26] sometimes we'll disagree.
[1143.54 --> 1144.92] This thought,
[1145.20 --> 1145.76] and I think that's
[1145.76 --> 1146.38] what Jesus was doing
[1146.38 --> 1147.02] with the disciples here.
[1147.34 --> 1148.76] This ought to keep us
[1148.76 --> 1149.18] humble
[1149.18 --> 1150.72] and properly focused.
[1151.36 --> 1152.82] Our forever relationship
[1152.82 --> 1153.48] with God
[1153.48 --> 1154.54] is our source
[1154.54 --> 1155.58] of true joy.
[1156.06 --> 1156.40] That's why
[1156.40 --> 1157.44] in Hebrews it says,
[1157.54 --> 1158.86] keep your eyes
[1158.86 --> 1159.92] on Jesus.
[1160.18 --> 1161.08] Not on all these
[1161.08 --> 1161.56] other things.
[1161.84 --> 1162.48] Keep your eyes
[1162.48 --> 1162.90] on Him.
[1162.90 --> 1167.36] for the joy
[1167.36 --> 1168.14] set before Him
[1168.14 --> 1168.94] Jesus endured
