Is It Monday Yet? | The Kall

Because our second point is this, trusting Jesus means believing your sorrow is not the end of the story. Do you believe that? It does not end in sorrow. It does not. It does not. Because he's trying to tell you, yes, there is this is your time of grief. This is a circumstance that you will go you will go through. But he didn't become the man of sorrows and the son of suffering for you to see that and taste that. No. He has changed your eternity forever. He took on the wrath of God for you and I. The wrath of God. And he and before he's even about to take on the cross, he says, I I'm I'm going away, but I'm coming back, and no one can take away this joy that I have put within you, not your job, not your relationship, not your your success or lack thereof, not that house that you thought you would afford by now, but interest rates and house market went up to the roof. I'm so sorry. All these things have happened to you because they bring happiness, not joy. The happiness fleets. [00:28:18] (61 seconds)  #TrustThatSorrowIsntFinal

Happiness is is when there's a sale at TJ Maxx. Right? Like, that's happiness. Joy is even in the midst of grief, you have hope. Even in the midst of disappointment when that relationship has just not turned out and you are still waiting for him to pop the question. And like, this ain't the one for me. That's joy when you wanna be a mommy or a daddy so bad it still doesn't happen for you. That's joy when you know that you are meant to to love somebody well or you feel that's what God has for you and you still haven't met that person. That's joy when you have shame and earthly desires that you think are right as the world rejoices in those, but you know I have those are I cannot give in to those, and I am still happy where the Lord has me. That's not happiness. That's joy. [00:23:43] (47 seconds)  #JoyIsDeeperThanHappiness

And Jesus is trying to tell you the same thing. Your pain is not for nothing. My joy is for you. Why? Because over two thousand years ago, Easter Sunday happened. That's why. And that's what you and I have to glean is that truth that joy is not based on circumstance. It is settled and confident and rooted in a person. You can grieve and still have joy. You can struggle and still have joy. You can feel so lost and still have joy because joy isn't the absence of pain. It is the presence of Jesus in the middle of it. That's what joy is. [00:30:09] (40 seconds)  #ResurrectionPowerInYou

That's the miracle of Monday. When it's time to come back home from those vacations, it's time to get to your alarms gotta be set again, not for beach time, but for work time. When you no longer park hopping anymore at Disney World, you gotta come home and you're like, this magic this is kinda weird, and you gotta go home. And you gotta face the reality of your life and the sorrow and the struggles that come. And Monday shows up and you are still a faithful devoted follower of Christ. That's the miracle of Monday. Yes, resurrection Sunday happened over two thousand years ago. The reason we still we still celebrate it is because Monday came next. It didn't stop on Sunday. Reason we are still worshiping an uneducated carpenter from Nazareth because Monday came. That's why. [00:37:10] (54 seconds)  #MiracleOfMonday

But I'm telling you, man, that that moment of relief, all that pain that she went through, I mean, what a beautiful illustration that Jesus gives us in this moment. You forget everything when you see the joy of that baby, when you hear that first cry. Oh, man. It is it's powerful. And that's what Jesus is saying. There there are moments in your life where the only way you're getting to the joy that of my heart is to go through the pain of this life. That's it. We're not getting that baby here unless my wife is working so hard and doing everything she can. We're not getting to that moment because here's what Jesus is saying. I'm not replacing your sorrow. I am transforming it into joy. [00:25:49] (46 seconds)  #SorrowTransformedToJoy

What happens when we realize that I'm not defined by my sufferings? I'm not defined by my shortcomings. I'm not defined by the the fleshly desires that I struggle with. None of those things define me if I am in Christ Jesus, and I believe in the truth that he actually rose himself from the dead. If you don't believe that he rose himself from the dead, you can just leave and not listen to this message, or I would be happy to explain it to you why I believe it. But if you believe in the fact that this is true, if you believe that when he said it is finished on a cross, if you believe that sin was truly defeated, if you truly believe he rose himself by his own strength, power, and authority, if you truly believe that by his spirit he came back to life, if you truly believe he was God in the flesh and took on your sin and was beat to death on a cross, if you truly, truly believe it, why is his joy not your joy? [00:07:20] (58 seconds)  #NotDefinedBySuffering

They can't see that god moves even when we don't know what's going on. They can't understand the reality that god doesn't need your permission to move. He doesn't need your performance to move. He needs his presence. That's the only prerequisite for him to move anywhere. It ain't you or I. Thank God. Right? Literally. And so they're they're not they're confused. And so what happens for you and I in in our lives is in we're kinda getting this same place where we interpret God through our circumstance instead of his consistency or his constancy. Like, we we do that so many times. That's what they're doing. They're thinking, well, wait a second. What is this what is this how does this matter to me? How does this apply to me? [00:14:28] (37 seconds)  #GodMovesWithoutPermission

I'm not. I'm not here to replace it. I'm here for you to finally use it for my joy because the joy of the lord, it's your strength, and that strength is supernatural. That strength is the reality of the hope of Jesus in the midst of any circumstance. Because here's what happened. Disciples, they're about to lose their best friend, their their rabbi. They were about to be humiliated because of their savior. So bad, they denied him three times. We know Peter's story. They're about to be confused with these unmet expectations that they thought were happening, and we know this kind of grief. We know this reality. And Jesus, he's not dismissing their pain. He understands it's coming, but he wants to transform it into something powerful. [00:26:34] (39 seconds)  #TransformPainIntoPurpose

So when Monday comes in your life, whether you're at the call or not, you like that? Whether you had the call or not on Monday. What's that resurrection power being used for? Because joy always comes in the morning, especially on Mondays. Let's pray. Father, we love you. Man, I'm so thankful your word is alive. I'm so thankful that it is still true and available to us today even when we struggle, even in our sorrow, even in the midst of situations that we don't know how we're getting out of. Your joy is available to us. And as you told your closest followers, there ain't nobody taking that away from us. And so as we stand here delivered, as we stand here set free, as we stand here worshiping a savior who, in fact, did raise himself from the dead, there's nothing that stops us. There's nothing that stands in our way. Honestly, god, I'm thankful Monday came because it mean it means we got work to do. The harvest is plenty. It's the workers that are few. [00:38:04] (56 seconds)  #ResurrectionPowerEveryday

We just won't. And then there's nothing wrong with that. It's what if I truly trust him and I believe he rose himself from the dead, I believe he's gonna work through the circumstance or situation I find myself in today. It's that reality that we have to live in. And what's so great about that is God is often doing his deepest work in moments we understand the least. Some of like me, why am I still at this job? God's still working. In the moment you're not, you're uncertain about. Why am I still single? He's still working that moment. Why are we married and we and we we haven't had babies yet? Well, god is still working. He's not just trust what he's doing. Trust what he's doing. [00:16:17] (34 seconds)  #TrustGodInUncertainty

It's okay that we don't fully understand. It's okay we don't fully grasp the reality of what God is doing. You're not meant to. His thoughts and his ways are bigger than yours and mine. I know. Shocker. The things he does and the way that he moves and what he orchestrates for you and my life is so much bigger than you and I can fathom. We are not god. I know. Shocker again. We are not. We are but a a vapor. We are but a a vessel for him to use. That's why we're just saying, Jesus, you be the glory. You be the name. There's salvation in your name. There's healing in your name. There's no other name greater than yours. [00:18:08] (39 seconds)  #GodsWaysAreBigger

And sometimes, y'all, the greatest blessings and answered prayers in your life are number one, the prayers you never ask, but also the ones that are no. Some of the things we pray for, God protects us from. And we can't understand that cause we're on this side of heaven. It's not until it's completely unveiled and revealed to us. The greatest mystery has been revealed to you and I. The fact that a sinless son of man came and died for your and our sins. Paul tells us that the the greatest mystery that was hidden is available to us. Praise God almighty for that. But there's some things on this side of heaven, and sometimes that's through your trials, sometimes that's through your struggles, sometimes that's through your sorrow that you just God is moving, and we just will never understand it. [00:15:39] (38 seconds)  #HiddenBlessingsRevealed

When you're suffering, is his victory still with you? When you are lonely, is his victory still with you? When you are tired of pushing off your fleshly desires and your temptations and your addictions and your isolations and your identity struggles, your anxiety, your depression, when you're when you're still trying to push all those things away, are you still willing to fight those with the power, the same power that rose himself from the grave? That same power. Are we willing to do that? Are we truly willing to be devoted followers of Christ even through our suffering moments? And that's what takes us to John 16 today. As Jesus is trying to give his followers the the tools to equip them to handle the hardest moments of their life. [00:11:42] (45 seconds)  #FightWithResurrectionPower

It is something that we have. The supernatural thing happens when that just as Roman tells us, when I confess with my mouth that he is lord and I will be saved, the power of the holy spirit is is inserted right into me. I it's it's it's a mystery. It's supernatural, but it it it happens right that moment to prove that you're his. When that moment happens, you have the fruits of the spirit. And one of those one of the fruit of the spirit is this, is joy. And so what joy is that is a deep feeling and understanding of of who Jesus is that it doesn't leave, it doesn't fleet. Because understand this, joy and happiness, two very different things. Happiness fleets. Happiness leaves. [00:23:01] (42 seconds)  #FruitOfTheSpiritJoy

So here's kind of the tension that we have to figure out. Who who's got your joy? Where is your joy coming from in your life? Is it coming from the author, perfector, and the counselor, the maker of the heavens and the earth? Or from fleeting things that are materialistic or that will fade away? The resurrection didn't just change eternity. Yes. I know it did. I know. I understand that. But when Monday comes in your life, like we're sitting here tonight, it's not Sunday anymore. We can't stay on that mountaintop. We're not meant to. But even when Monday comes, is the eternity that you have forever change how you walk today? The resurrection power you have forever, does it change how you walk today? Don't let it stop. The power of heaven is available to you today and I'll be honest with you, that's the miracle. You know, obviously, you willing to be faithful even when Monday comes. [00:36:06] (64 seconds)  #AnchorYourJoyInChrist

And so many of us are trying to fill everything in our heart with anything besides the fruit of the spirit, especially joy. Some of us have allowed other people to dictate our happiness and our joy. They don't have that right. If they didn't carry a cross for you and then tell you that they are coming to see you again and that no one will take away your joy, they don't get to take it away. Only the one that took you on his back. Only one that took the sin of your life on his back. That's right, baby boy. Like, what a beautiful sound, though. Am I right? Oh, worth it. That's what Jesus is telling you. That beautiful sound is my I know it. If I'm standing over here, I know that's my kid. [00:29:22] (40 seconds)  #SorrowIsntTheEnd

We should just stay here. This is great. Yeah. It's a great idea, Peter, but that's not the reality of life on this side of heaven. Now the second coming, that's what my man's gonna look like. But until that happens, you don't get to live on the mountaintop. That's not the reality of life. And I think especially for Christians, we sometimes we think that. We've been taught that. Well, if you just pray this away man, if you just say this man, I'm telling you, it is just gonna go away. The Lord's gonna do hey. They're gonna heal them. I I hope that, and I pray for that. Or things are gonna happen. God's gonna send you mister and missus right. All this is gonna gonna I I hope those things happen for you. I truly do. But if and maybe when they don't and you're in the suffering moments of your life, are you meeting him in the suffering like you met him in his victory? [00:11:01] (40 seconds)  #JoyIsYourStrength

I promise you with the enemy meant for evil, god will always turn it for good. And I know this about him too. The plan he starts anew, he will finish for his glory for those that love him. And if I love him, that means I trust him. If I love him, I believe he really did raise himself from the dead. And that's what they're just not understanding yet. And some of us were there. We don't understand the season. We don't understand the waiting. We don't understand the pain. But just because you can't see it doesn't mean God isn't working. Even in this moment, God is working. And, like, it's like two hours from now, he's gonna be arrested. [00:16:51] (34 seconds)  #DontHaveToUnderstand

And so Jesus is trying to give them this good little golden nugget. Like, listen to me. Listen to me. Here's your reality that I need to tell you. You will weep and mourn. And that weep is is excruciating. It's it's like a wailing. You know, if you've ever if you've ever been to a funeral, and I wanna be very honest with you right here. If you've been to a funeral where a mama has lost her baby, that mama weeps. I've been to many. I've played in many. These mamas weep for their babies. It's so hard. Or if you've been or if you've been at a at a wedding or at a wedding, whew, if you've been to a funeral where a beautiful mom has had to lay her husband to rest at a way earlier age than she should have, and she's got sweet little babies at home. You hear that weeping. [00:21:08] (42 seconds)  #DoubtToUnderstanding

And sometimes what they what we do is what they're doing. You know, if I just understood God better, I would bet I'd trust him more. If I understood how he was working all the time, I would I would trust him a whole lot more than I do, But that's not the way that he works. And sometimes we confuse God's moving with God being absent. We think just because I can't see it, well, he's not moving in my life. What did I do wrong? What have I done to be in a place where God is no longer moving in my life? And sometimes, y'all, the greatest blessings and answered prayers in your life are number one, the prayers you never ask, but also the ones that are no. Some of the things we pray for, God protects us from. [00:15:12] (37 seconds)  #ReturnFromTheMountain

What happens when we realize that I'm not defined by my sufferings? I'm not defined by my shortcomings. I'm not defined by the the fleshly desires that I struggle with.

[00:07:20] (58 seconds)  #MondayUsesResurrectionPower

And Jesus is trying to tell you the same thing. Your pain is not for nothing. My joy is for you. Why? Because over two thousand years ago, Easter Sunday happened. That's why. And that's what you and I have to glean is that truth that joy is not based on circumstance. It is settled and confident and rooted in a person. You can grieve and still have joy. You can struggle and still have joy. You can feel so lost and still have joy because joy isn't the absence of pain. It is the presence of Jesus in the middle of it. That's what joy is. And so many of us, we make decisions that we cannot take back because we forget that kind of joy. We get ourself into situations and circumstances that are very hard for us to take back because we forget about the joy that we have. [00:30:09] (55 seconds)  #FacingDarknessBeforeDawn

Because our second point is this, trusting Jesus means believing your sorrow is not the end of the story. Do you believe that? It does not end in sorrow. It does not. It does not. Because he's trying to tell you, yes, there is this is your time of grief. This is a circumstance that you will go you will go through. But he didn't become the man of sorrows and the son of suffering for you to see that and taste that. No. He has changed your eternity forever. He took on the wrath of God for you and I.

And he and before he's even about to take on the cross, he says, I I'm I'm going away, but I'm coming back, and no one can take away this joy that I have put within you, not your job, not your relationship, not your your success or lack thereof, not that house that you thought you would afford by now, but interest rates and house market went up to the roof. I'm so sorry. All these things have happened to you because they bring happiness, not joy. The happiness fleets. It leaves. [00:28:18] (63 seconds)  #WeepNowRejoiceLater

I'm not here to replace it. I'm here for you to finally use it for my joy because the joy of the lord, it's your strength, and that strength is supernatural. That strength is the reality of the hope of Jesus in the midst of any circumstance. Because here's what happened. Disciples, they're about to lose their best friend, their their rabbi.

And we can't understand that cause we're on this side of heaven. It's not until it's completely unveiled and revealed to us. The greatest mystery has been revealed to you and I. The fact that a sinless son of man came and died for your and our sins. Paul tells us that the the greatest mystery that was hidden is available to us. Praise God almighty for that. But there's some things on this side of heaven, and sometimes that's through your trials, sometimes that's through your struggles, sometimes that's through your sorrow that you just God is moving, and we just will never understand it. We just won't. And then there's nothing wrong with that. It's what if I truly trust him and I believe he rose himself from the dead, I believe he's gonna work through the circumstance or situation I find myself in today. It's that reality that we have to live in. [00:15:49] (42 seconds)  #DontForgetResurrection

And they can't see that yet because trusting Jesus means accepting that we won't always understand. And let me just let you take a deep breath here. That's okay. It's okay that we don't fully understand. It's okay we don't fully grasp the reality of what God is doing. You're not meant to. His thoughts and his ways are bigger than yours and mine. I know. Shocker. The things he does and the way that he moves and what he orchestrates for you and my life is so much bigger than you and I can fathom. We are not god. I know. Shocker again. We are not.

There's no other name greater than yours. [00:17:53] (54 seconds)  #EasterHighDoesntEnd

But they were all still processing. They were all still unsure. They were all still a human being like you and I. And in their doubt and in their fear and in their confusion and even in their setbacks, Jesus still met them exactly in all those places. Because anchoring our joy in him is always predicated on him, not where you and I are. And thank god for that. Right? This is almost man, I'm waiting for my to get my life right. I'm waiting for I'm I'm about to get a comeback, bro. This is about to my year. 2026 is my year. Right? Like, cool. It's probably not. I hope it is. I mean, you're still Peter out there fishing, and Jesus trying to invite you to breakfast on the shore. I mean, that smells good, but that can't be for me. Yes. It's for you. [00:32:32] (50 seconds)  #TrustWhenYouCantSee

Why do you think the power of the Holy Spirit put that word in his heart in that moment to 3,000 people? All because he trusted in him even when he was weak, all because he trusted in him even when he was suffering, all because he trusted in him even when he was confused and doubting and denying him. That wasn't his end moment. He still knew and saw the resurrection, and he still became who God asked and called of him to be. That's what happened. You're you will fill me with joy in your presence. So here's kind of the tension that we have to figure out. Who who's got your joy? Where is your joy coming from in your life? Is it coming from the author, perfector, and the counselor, the maker of the heavens and the earth? Or from fleeting things that are materialistic or that will fade away? [00:35:22] (67 seconds)  #RememberVictoryAtWork

If you truly believe these words, then you finally start to implement them. Because what would actually change in your life if you started living on resurrection Sunday instead of Good Friday? Because Monday's always coming. Tuesday's always coming. Wednesday's always coming. Friday is always coming. I skipped Thursday. Did you realize that? Saturday is always coming. The resurrection Sunday happened two thousand years ago is still alive today in this moment. It doesn't have to come. It already did. It's already here. It's already available to you and I if we would so willfully accept that. So in those moments of your life when you gotta come off that mountain, when you gotta leave vacation, when you gotta leave Easter Sunday, when you gotta leave moments when you volunteer at curbside to help those that are less fortunate than you, those moments where you gotta leave serving on those mission teams at your church or or this church, when you have to leave those moments when you can't go to ministry every single night of the week anymore, when you can't do these certain things anymore, when you gotta come off that Easter Sunday mountain and Monday's alarm clock goes off, are you still living in the reality that Sunday still happened? [00:08:24] (67 seconds)  #GodMovesEvenWhenSilent

And Peter goes, you know what? This is nice. We should build y'all a tent. Just stay here. We should just stay here. This is great. Yeah. It's a great idea, Peter, but that's not the reality of life on this side of heaven. Now the second coming, that's what my man's gonna look like. But until that happens, you don't get to live on the mountaintop. That's not the reality of life. And I think especially for Christians, we sometimes we think that. We've been taught that. Well, if you just pray this away man, if you just say this man, I'm telling you, it is just gonna go away. The Lord's gonna do hey. They're gonna heal them. I I hope that, and I pray for that. Or things are gonna happen. God's gonna send you mister and missus right. All this is gonna gonna I I hope those things happen for you. I truly do. [00:10:56] (38 seconds)  #YoureNotDefinedBySin

And so what joy is that is a deep feeling and understanding of of who Jesus is that it doesn't leave, it doesn't fleet. Because understand this, joy and happiness, two very different things. Happiness fleets. Happiness leaves. Happiness is is when there's a sale at TJ Maxx. Right? Like, that's happiness. Joy is even in the midst of grief, you have hope. Even in the midst of disappointment when that relationship has just not turned out and you are still waiting for him to pop the question. And like, this ain't the one for me. That's joy when you wanna be a mommy or a daddy so bad it still doesn't happen for you. [00:23:27] (41 seconds)  #SorrowIsTemporaryHopeIsEternal

And so many of us are trying to fill everything in our heart with anything besides the fruit of the spirit, especially joy. Some of us have allowed other people to dictate our happiness and our joy. They don't have that right. If they didn't carry a cross for you and then tell you that they are coming to see you again and that no one will take away your joy, they don't get to take it away. Only the one that took you on his back. Only one that took the sin of your life on his back. That's right, baby boy. Like, what a beautiful sound, though. Am I right? Oh, worth it. That's what Jesus is telling you. That beautiful sound is my I know it. If I'm standing over here, I know that's my kid. And I know the work that went into that kid getting here. His mama worked so hard. [00:29:22] (47 seconds)  #OpenYourHeartToTrust

These are the last things that are coming out of my mouth before I am literally beaten to death and put on a cross to die. These are the last moments that I can tell you when you're about to reach your darkest moment, and this is even darker. Here's what here's kinda I'll give away a little in my ending here. All these people who are hearing this from him, they get killed for their for their belief except for John. And that's not even the worst moment of their life, them thinking their savior is dead and not alive. And everything they put in the last three to eight years that they followed John the Baptist before then, everything they have put up to this moment was for nothing. That's what is coming for them. [00:20:36] (32 seconds)  #AcceptNotUnderstanding

Like, listen to me. Listen to me. Here's your reality that I need to tell you. You will weep and mourn. And that weep is is excruciating. It's it's like a wailing.

But I'm telling you, man, that that moment of relief, all that pain that she went through, I mean, what a beautiful illustration that Jesus gives us in this moment. You forget everything when you see the joy of that baby, when you hear that first cry. Oh, man. It is it's powerful. And that's what Jesus is saying. There there are moments in your life where the only way you're getting to the joy that of my heart is to go through the pain of this life. That's it. We're not getting that baby here unless my wife is working so hard and doing everything she can. We're not getting to that moment because here's what Jesus is saying. I'm not replacing your sorrow. I am transforming it into joy. I'm not. [00:25:49] (48 seconds)  #ProcessBeforeCelebration

That's joy when you know that you are meant to to love somebody well or you feel that's what God has for you and you still haven't met that person. That's joy when you have shame and earthly desires that you think are right as the world rejoices in those, but you know I have those are I cannot give in to those, and I am still happy where the Lord has me. That's not happiness. That's joy. Because he tells us this, we will weep, we will mourn. These realities of life still happen to us. But what here's what I know about a mama when she has a baby. I can tell you because I've seen two. I'm telling you, man, that the work my wife put in to have our babies is the oh my goodness. It's two of the most incredible things I've ever seen in my life. She's like, how graphic is it gonna get? I'm not. I promise. Okay? So you can breathe. [00:24:07] (44 seconds)  #ResurrectionPowerIsReal

Me and the Christians, we love that Easter Sunday high, don't we? Come on. I love it. I love when I have 12 of my best friends here leading worship with me all weekend long. I love when there's thousands of people that enter this room on a on a Sunday morning or a Saturday night or before the sun comes up. Like, my alarm clock went off at 4AM on Sunday. Y'all can't wait to get up. I love it. I love the reality reality of of this this weekend. Weekend. I love what it allows us to celebrate. I love what it represents for us who are in the in the Christian faith. But what happens for so many of us, you don't have this week off. [00:05:00] (34 seconds)  #LeaveTheTentKeepWalking
