You Don't Know, What You Don't Know 5/17/2026

So we believe that God came down in human form. He died and then rose again, and now we're seated in all authority and power at the right hand of God. Then why is it difficult to believe he'll come back and get us? Why is it difficult to believe that those who have died will be raised up again to him? Why is it difficult to believe that we will meet him one day in the air? [01:13:44] (25 seconds)  #BelieveHisReturn

It seems to be folly if you don't believe in the foundational truth that Jesus Christ came, died, and rose again. If that miracle is a reality, then everything else. Oh, that's normal. Yeah. That makes sense. Sure. It's fine. It's not a problem to you. Like, yeah. Of course, he's coming back to get me, obviously. Of course, I'm gonna be in the heir. Obviously. If I die before he comes, yeah, I'm resurrected. Obviously. Why? Because your foundation is set. [01:14:09] (30 seconds)  #FoundationInChrist

Over the years, over the days, over you repeating those same mindsets and those same thoughts of your unbelief consistently, god can't do it. God won't come through. God's not good enough. God can't provide. God doesn't see you. God doesn't know you, and it chips and it chips and it chips away until you're sliding through life undisciplined about who god is and you're not watching and you're not praying and so you're not ready.

And we get bored too quickly, and we get distracted too easily, and we waver at the sign of any little thing. But God said, I want you to be a people who know how to watch and be disciplined in the waiting. Be disciplined in the watching. Stand your watch and listen to what I'm saying, says God, so you know how to answer me. But it requires a discipline. It requires a daily lifestyle. [00:59:32] (37 seconds)  #DisciplinedWaiting

If you have Jesus as your savior, you have the Holy Spirit in you, so you've been empowered from on high. And it hasn't been empowered to do your own thing, to be cute and get followers, or to get attention on a stage. You've been empowered, why, to be ambassadors of god to share the hope and gospel of Jesus Christ. So watch what you do. And watch what you say. And watch where you go. Yeah.

But god calls us out of the darkness, out of the pit, out of the grave, out of the bondage, out of the sin, and he pushes us forward because when god doesn't work, there's a transformational work. It's not a temporary thing. It's not a Sunday morning thing. It's not what I feel like getting. It's the eternal thing he does on the inside of us. He awakens our dead spirit so we can be alive to Christ. [00:38:18] (64 seconds)  #RaisedToLifeInChrist

What god is calling you to do is to get out of that culture and get into a culture of waiting and watching on God. That's discipline. God wants to cultivate discipline in the heart of his body because we need to be disciplined to be ready. We want the instant fix of god like he's a microwave dinner. We want the instant fix of god. When he wants you to know how to slow cook in his presence. [00:58:50] (42 seconds)  #SlowCookInGod

When you display yourself with love, you're bringing the gospel into broken, hurting places. When you show up, you're bringing the gospel into lonely and dark places. So be alert. Get your character in check. Start leaning in to the things of god. Be empowered to share the gospel. And so those we don't sorrow or grieve as the world agrees because we do have this hope that those who died in Christ, we will see them again. [01:12:53] (38 seconds)  #LoveInAction
