It's like a 70 year old man sitting in a first grade school chair, and you walk in and there he's sitting. You think, well, that's kinda cute. Look at there. Old grandpa in there. Until you find out that he's been in there for thirty five years. Hasn't promoted to second grade yet and now it goes from being cute to being sad. You know what the problem is most thirty year old churches? [00:34:25] (41 seconds)  #EndChurchStagnation Download clip

These Roman soldiers now they've sieged the city, seen it goes in there and see what's happening and there's just liquid gold flowing everywhere and they can't get to it because it's hemmed in by the stones so what they do? They push the stones away and every time they push the stones away, there's all that gold. They capture that gold, they push the stone, another stone away. They did it until there wasn't one single stone stacked upon another. Just like Jesus said. [00:09:18] (32 seconds)  #BreakTheStonesForGold Download clip

To remain comes with a word that describes small piece of fabric remnant, bigger amount the bigger amount is gone. It has been lost, and this is what is left. This is what's happening with the church. We have to understand that Jesus is not just looking at a bunch of people to show up at church on Sunday or just get in front of a microphone or get on the Internet or get on social media and say, I'm a Christian. He's looking for those that are spiritually engaged. [00:21:36] (31 seconds)  #SpiritualRemnant Download clip

Spent thirty five minutes to pick out the right outfit in an hour and a half to get yourself ready to take that one picture. It's gonna be your profile page. People see on the street don't even recognize you. I know your works, that you have a name, but you're alive. You're dead. That word dead, they're actually Greek means literally means what it means. It means a corpse. [00:27:39] (42 seconds)  #ProfileVsReality Download clip

That word that word find there means an investigation or to look hard into. You realize when Jesus comes back, before he comes back, things have gotten so bad, things have gotten so so lukewarm that that whenever he comes back, he has to he has to it's it's an investigation to look hard into. We think just because we've seen Kumbaya and have a bible somewhere in the house that we're alright. Honey, the devil comes to kill, steal, and destroy.

I drink like a sailor. Got a horrible attitude but I'm on the worship team and the Bible says, that those of us that are alive and have no idea because you haven't been taught what that word alive means, those that are spiritually engaged. And it's not everybody, it's a small piece. Aye aye aye aye aye. Luke eighteen and eight, when the son of man comes, will he really find faith on the earth? That's scripture.

So in a Greek it's harpazo. And harpazo is actually is in Greek and in Greek it's translated into Latin raptus and then in English it's called rapture. So when people say, well rapture's not in the bible or maybe it's one of top, whatever not in the bible, it's not but it's harpazo.

Now we don't wanna deal with it because to be honest with you, we don't know if God can do it or not. Do we really think an event last is gonna take place where we're gonna be here one moment and next moment we're be gone in a moment in the twinkling of an eye where the bible said it? And if the temple happened, then I'm sure everything else, either God's a liar or he's true. [00:13:03] (20 seconds)  #BelieveTheRapture Download clip
