11:00AM Sunday Service. Winning at the Game of Life.

So, you, how do you catch the saved and the unsaved? You use the bait of love. He told them or they told the owner that Jesus needed the donkey. You gotta use the bait of love. Come on. That's why we are, y'all don't, oh, good. We don't like to hear love thy neighbor. As thyself. The greatest of the commandments is love. We gotta use the bait of love. We too busy and I I don't I'm I'm trying not to get on my church soapbox. But use the bait of love. Then, bring them to Jesus. They brought the donkey to Jesus. Come on. They brought, watch this. They didn't take the donkey to the club. They didn't take the donkey to the game. They brought the donkey to where Jesus is. [00:21:56] (61 seconds)  #BaitOfLove

And dear brothers and sisters, when people start rooting for you, you better compartmentalize those cheers. Come on. When they they are cheering for you, you gotta make sure dear brothers and sisters that you don't allow it to feed your ego and make you think you're better than who you are. You gotta allow those cheers dear brothers and sisters to come in, say, I appreciate it but to god be the glory because if it wasn't for god, I wouldn't be where I am today. So, you gotta compartmentalize those cheers and don't allow those because why? Everybody comes to a season in their life when nobody cheers for them. Everybody comes to a season in their lives where the phone don't ring. And if you are not careful you allow the quiet season in your life to make you think you are at the will of god. Ain't nobody calling me. God is sitting there saying, it ain't about the cheers. [00:40:53] (78 seconds)  #CompartmentalizePraise

Us as Christians checking to see who all over there nowadays is us preparing for the environment and not avoiding the environment. Hey, how you doing? That's all y'all do. You go in the environment to hey, how you doing? And keep it rolling. He, you ain't gotta sit down, break bread, just say how you doing? You gotta prepare your heart and mind. Too many of us, nine days, we are avoiding the thing and that's not how Jesus meant for us to do. Come on. So, watch this dear brothers and sisters. Jesus was letting them know that he would rule with love first and not war. He will rule with love first and not anger. He will rule with love first and not hatred. [00:29:42] (49 seconds)  #RuleWithLove

used to tell y'all back in the day that sometimes before you get out your car and go to work, you gotta have a pep talk with yourself. Yeah. Y'all ain't miss it. You gotta sit there and say, if they say this, I'm gonna say this. I'm trying to help them understand. Sometimes you gotta look in the mirror and sit down and say, if these kids do this, I am going to react this way. Why? Because now you are controlling your emotions and don't allow your emotions to run your environment. And Jesus chose from the jump. I am going to ride a colt to let them know that I run things. Come on. And if you wanna win at the game of life, you gotta control your emotions. Everybody shouldn't be able to push your buttons. Come on. [00:27:50] (61 seconds)  #MasterYourEmotions

But when you look at the life of Jesus, if you study his life, it looked like he was losing. It looked like it wasn't going to work out. But then all of a sudden, come on, you realize that he was actually winning at the game of life. And you gotta understand, quit measuring your things by social media experts. Come on. Quit measuring your success. Come on. By folks who call themselves expert. If it's not by the word of god, dear brothers and sisters, I'm not trying to measure my success by what anybody else says. on. So, you gotta understand it brothers and sisters, you are winning in life when you know, watch this, how to catch and not just rely on others to catch for you. [00:06:36] (48 seconds)  #MeasureByFaith

It might not look like you are winning but dear brothers and sisters, you are actually winning. Come on. You might be down, but guess what? You are not out. Come on. You might not have any money, but you're still a winner. You might not have the perfect relationship, but you are still a winner. You might not even have the right job, but in the eyes of God, you are still a winner. Why? Because you continue to put your faith and trust in God, which sits there and says, that God, if I trust you, I know that everything will be alright. You are a winner. We don't win. Watch this. At the end, we win now. See, [00:07:31] (44 seconds)  #WinningInFaith

we're too busy for some of us and not all of us, but some of us, dear brothers and sisters, we too busy looking at the situation. And not the final equation. When Jesus said it is finished, all you're waiting on is just manifestation. Come on. You're just waiting on manifestation and if you know the outcome already, dear brothers and sisters, you got to understand that all of this is just stuff that we just gotta go through. But the problem is, you don't see yourself as a winner. See, when you see yourself as a winner, you wake up and go to bed differently. You watch this. You wake up and go to bed differently because you expect good things to happen. [00:08:16] (52 seconds)  #FocusOnTheOutcome

Come on. I expect thing good things to happen. So I wake up with joy. I wake up with enthusiasm. And I also know if it didn't happen that night, then the next day is still another opportunity. So, I wake up and go to bed with excitement because I know eventually, I'm going in. You And dear brothers and sisters, Jesus, in this particular text, they're teaching us how to win at the game of life. Because watch this. We call this the triumphant entry. Come on. But yet, he hadn't won yet. We call it the triumphant entry because hindsight is what? Twenty twenty. So, we call it triumphant but for some folks being persecuted, being whipping, being beaten. Come on. Isn't triumphant. [00:09:07] (54 seconds)  #TriumphantEntry
