All In for Christ: Humility, Trust, and Generosity

My my two year olds don't need any help on being selfish because they'll grab something that's mine, right? Oh, no. No, it's not just not yours. It's ours. But we continue to feed that over and over and here's what I'm trying to tell you. If we're going to walk in humility, live our lives in humility, then we need to start trusting the lord more and loving him more and and and in the grand scheme of things because this would end is is is really less is more. Last is first. You hear me? Losing our lives, we we gain the beauty of Christ. [00:36:17] (37 seconds)  #LoseToGainInChrist

This guy wasn't present for the the the Matthew five sermon on the mount, was he? Where Jesus said, hey, so you might not have come come, you know, you say don't commit adultery but I say, don't think of ladies bad or men bad in your heart because then you've already committed it. I say, hey, hey, don't don't you say don't do murder. I say, don't have ill feelings in here. Don't try to slap somebody at Walmart. [00:43:02] (29 seconds)  #HeartNotJustActions

Jesus was making the point on the sermon on the mount. You'll break it. You'll you'll have ill feelings against somebody. You're going to go to a sporting event. You you you're going to have ugly thoughts in your head about about somebody of the opposite sex. You're going to have ugly thoughts about your mother and your father. You won't honor him your whole life. You're gonna you're not gonna love your your neighbor. You're going to lie. Tell me one person in here who has not broken one commandment. Exactly.

You know what Jesus is telling you right now? It ain't what you want to hear. What is it that you need to let go so you can have more of him? What is it? It maybe your money. May maybe your stuff. We have got more stuff than anybody in the world. We've got look, like he maybe he's saying stop chasing status or stop chasing hobbies or stop chasing sports. Stop making those things your god.

Stop making the church leaders and your and and your deacons and and and your your small group leaders all twist your arms and you come to church. Gosh, wouldn't it be nice just to come and trust him and live for him rather than like have be in a headlock and not understand anything? Man, would we just get rid of all of the distractions? As Jesus tells us what we need to hear. See money and stuff and hobbies and resumes and sports are not bad but when they become priority in our life over Christ, they have become sin.

Jesus has called us to let go and be all in for him and I remember talking to people that are going, that's crazy. That's crazy. See, the biblical pursuit of holiness is an attack on the American pursuit of happiness. Pursuit of happiness means get all your stuff, get it while you can, get everything you can. And be happy. What it doesn't say is happy, don't last long. [01:00:59] (33 seconds)  #HolinessOverHappiness

Are you crazy? Listen, the call to Jesus is for us to believe on this poor Jesus, poor Jewish rabbi. He had no money who died a criminal's death. Go follow him. And you probably end up the same way. Go follow him. First century, follower, follow him. All the midst of the persecution, go follow him. Now, this twenty first century, follow him. With more distractions than you ever have at the tip of your hands, follow him. Be all in for Christ. Make disciples. Follow him. The call has not changed.

In 2026, will you live more for the temporary or the eternal? Will you make Jesus number one pursuit of your life? Will you live for him, seek him, give to the kingdom, serve, share, grow, be discipled, go make disciples? Will you stop chasing what you don't have in the world? And will you be filled for what you do have in Christ? Listen, Matthew six ended with this, you can't serve two masters. You can't. [01:08:58] (27 seconds)  #LiveForEternal
