May 3rd, 2026 - We Should Weep & Lament

You know what's even better than the sin? It's Jesus. You you know what's better than feeding the flesh? It's feeding my spirit. Instead of indulging in the things of this world, indulging in the pleasures of this world, if I indulge in Jesus, I am so satisfied, I'm so full. He he takes care of all of that. That pleasure far outweighs the pleasures of sin and the pleasures of this world. [00:23:33] (24 seconds)  #JesusOverSin

I'm crying and I'm weeping, but my tears alone won't change nothing. My sadness won't affect nobody. My lament will because it pours out to God, and he's able to do something. That's what Jesus does because he knew God's able to do what only God can do. Jesus actively took his sorrow to god like we should do. The broken heart we should have for those who are lost, weeping alone will not change them. Jesus changes them. Jesus saves people. So, we lament to bring people to god.

As Christians, we should weep and lament while the world rejoices in their sin, and as much as we wish that Jesus would just come and and fix everything, bring judgment or whatever it may be, actually, it should break our hearts that people spend eternity apart from god. Jesus said he would turn our sorrow into joy, and that's because he provided the solution. No one has to live life apart from Jesus. No one has to experience the pain and sorrow permanently. Jesus provided the solution. No one has to remain lost. There is joy because there is hope. And there's hope because there's Jesus. Yes. [00:36:17] (48 seconds)  #HopeAndJoyInJesus

Sometimes we want to hide and shy away from the fact that sin is pleasurable so we don't mention it to people. But I'm telling you, I'll admit it, sin is pleasurable. You're right. But Jesus is better. Jesus is better. You're missing out. You you think you're living on a 10 out of 10 scale, but I'm telling you, you're living on a 10 out of a 100 scale. Jesus is the 100. You can have it far better. Far better. [00:23:58] (23 seconds)  #JesusIsBetterThanSin

But the biggest reason, I think, is this, something that I think most of us know but few are willing to admit. In fact, I can't recall ever hearing anybody saying this from a pulpit, so bear with me. I think the biggest reason why the world rejoices in their sin is because sin is pleasurable. It's something I think we know, but never wanna say it out loud. As Christians, we couldn't say it that out loud that sin is pleasurable. But you know what? Sin is pleasurable. [00:11:47] (33 seconds)  #AdmitSinIsPleasurable

But here's the bigger here's the part of the big picture that we need to understand is this. The reason why the world rejoices in their sin is because it's pleasurable. That's what we have to tackle. That's what we have to understand when we come to them. The the reason they're not necessarily I'm kidding, I'm painting really broad stroke statements here, okay? But most of the people don't necessarily say, Look, I just want to reject Jesus, that's why I do this. [00:19:50] (27 seconds)  #PleasureOverConsequences

They're doing it because I just want to do it because that's what I feel like doing. I'm enjoying this. Who who are you or anybody else telling me I shouldn't be doing this? You you see what's happening? And so the world's rejoicing in their sin because they are enjoying their sin. It's pleasurable to them. When people are faced with temptation, the immediate gratification of sin will almost always triumph over the fear of its long term consequences. [00:20:17] (29 seconds)  #CenterGodNotSelf

We will lament to bring our sorrow of sin. We lament because don't forget, it's our sin as well. It was our sin that caused him to go to the cross that we lament over this. I lament that what I've done would cause him hurt. But instead of just crying about it, I lament because it goes to him. I bring it to him. He changes from the inside out, makes us new. Many people mourn and cry and weep, but Christians, they lament. Call upon the Lord to turn the sorrow into joy. [00:35:37] (40 seconds)  #LamentIsPrayer
