We are called to make a difference in our society, to think missional, to heal the waters of the city. We talked about this in two kings, whatever. Kingdom assignment, transforming the world with the good news of Jesus, kingdom builders. I go for it across now. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. I tell you, Jesus wants your place to become like his place. He wants his place to become like your place in your marriage, children, grandchildren, workplace, whatever you do. The fragrance of heaven everywhere we go, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. It is the church inside out. Legacy is all about the church inside out. The legacy is the outward focus in Jesus' name. [01:33:18] (66 seconds)  #FragranceOfHeaven Download clip

That's why one of our values is your vocation is your ministry because we gotta have ministers in your vocation in the boardroom everywhere we go. Right? Our identity is being a sent people. Our identity is also being Christ, of course, but we are also a sent people. It's not just something we do. I wrote this down. We don't do mission. We live mission.

to change the world. And whatever wherever's a metron that you find yourself in, that's what God wants you to change in business policy, whatever's whatever. Whatever. Get in there and and let Jesus go through. No. I don't agree with what you're saying right now. I do wanna have bible in schools and start fighting for it.

Now I wanna I wanna show you something. Have have a look at that thing. So what happened was in in verse 17, right, in verse 17, same chapter, verse 17, Jesus reveals himself. The disciples for the first time, except for the women who saw him being resurrected, they saw him for the first time in verse 17 at end of Matthew. Right? 28. Right? They saw him and some doubted. Right? Yeah. Exactly. But what happened the next verse? [01:20:59] (29 seconds)  #VisionToContribute Download clip

And I I I just want you to get a vision of how you can contribute, how in your life you become this. Yeah. We got an offering. It's fine because we gotta pay for all these things because most of those things, missionaries and stuff, they can't pay themselves. It's the way it is. But the thing is though, it's more like it's more the vision. Are we gonna be the church inside out? And are we are we really gonna gonna gonna walk the talk? Walk the talk and and and change the world around us when you go tomorrow. It's no longer really about gathering the church on Sunday. It's not the main focus. The main focus is being equipped and challenged on Sunday and to go into the world on Monday. And you are when you walk out of this place, you are now entering your kingdom assignment. And that's what it's all about. [01:35:59] (50 seconds)  #EquippedThenSent Download clip

Come on. I tell you, if the church leaves a vacuum and does not step into this place of influence and bring the kingdom of God, then the ungodly influences people will start to run your life, will start to run this nation. I honestly have hardly ever talked about this. I was actually quite fearful to talk about this this morning. I said, Lord, I don't like because some people are gonna be offended. When you call a spade a spade, people are gonna be offended. I said, well, just just do it. Just do it. It's terrible. [01:24:42] (34 seconds)  #FillTheVacuum Download clip

Sex out of marriage outside of marriage is not okay, young people and older people. Let's call what it is. Come on. What kind of testimony are we to the world if our marriages fail in the same rate as the world does? They don't, by the way. But if they do guys, we got some work to do. We are meant to be, like Catherine says, influences. We are the fragrance of Christ. That means we have families. Do everything you can. I mean, Katherine and I, we've been fighting for fighting for years. Are we fighting? Yeah. [01:27:19] (32 seconds)  #MarriageAsTestimony Download clip

True. It's it's actually a Freudian slip, but it is fighting for years. We've been fighting for years for our marriage. I mean, we were fighting for yeah. We could have been divorced so many times. No. Serious. We we she's a hothead, man. I'm sorry. I'm a hothead. I'm a hothead. I I so I am the hothead. [01:27:51] (17 seconds)  #FightForMarriage Download clip

The things that are happening I mean, the gospel, you're right. The gospel Kenneth says the gospel is offensive. I mean, we are so shaped. Come on. We are so shaped by this woke culture at the moment. Is it a boy or a girl? Well, it's got the bits, but they can choose for themselves. What what about what nonsense that we are allowing, by the way, in our nation? [01:25:16] (21 seconds)  #AgentsOfTheKingdom Download clip
