The God of All Peoples | Psalm 47 | Jonathan Yarboro

``Asking that question, that would be motivated by racism. I think it's probably the less prevalent of the two reasons that people ask the question, but it's a reason. The second one, the more prevalent one, is this. We simply don't understand what the mission really is. obsession with thinking about Christianity as a personal relationship with God has short circuited how we understand the mission. Let me let me catch that. The gospel is personal. It does personally save us. It does give us a personal relationship with God. But make no mistake. The mission of God is not an individualistic thing. It's about every single people group bowing to the lordship of Jesus. [00:22:08] (56 seconds)  #MissionsOverIndividualism

That third truth is this, God's mission transforms peoples into a people. There's a subtle lie that's crept into the church that every single person in the world is a child of God. Every single person is made in the image of God and therefore is an image bearer of God. But only those who belong to the family of God are children of God. It's like when I was younger and this guy says to me, younger being like maybe last year or something, need to stop spitting off that bridge onto that sidewalk. I'm going, I ain't your son. See, God has a people. Look at what it says in verse nine. [00:27:23] (55 seconds)  #MissionTransformsPeoples

Later in life, my yes is on the table as long as my children can graduate from school here first or as long as I have good health care or as long as it's safe. Can I just tell you those qualifiers negate the yes? It isn't a real yes. It's a conditional yes. And that's okay. I need you to hear me say that. That's okay. Let's just not say something that isn't true. We don't say yes as followers of Jesus out of guilt or shame and certainly not to earn his love. He gives that freely. We go because he came for us. He moved. A lot of us say we won't we gotta we won't move. Well, he certainly moved, didn't he? He moved from heaven to earth. [00:32:15] (59 seconds)  #YesWithoutConditions

We love looking at this. She painted it at school, and she brought it home to us and gave it to us. And so it's it's there in our home. And we like to look at it. We love gathering around it as a family and admiring what a great job she did on that. But do you know how many people come and look at that from our neighborhood? None. Do you know how many people come from other countries to check out Kyla's beautiful painting of a rainbow and a sun? Not one. if you go to the Louvre in Paris, there's another picture of the Mona Lisa, and people come from all over the world to take pictures of the Mona Lisa. [00:23:48] (44 seconds)  #WorshipNotFame
