Jesus, Jesus, let me sing. Oh, how I pray to trust Him more and more. Psalm 145, 1-13 says, I will extol You, my God and King, and bless Your name forever and ever. Every day I will bless You and praise Your name forever and ever. Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised, and His greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall commend Your works to another, and shall declare Your mighty acts. On the glorious splendor of Your majesty and on Your wondrous works I will meditate. They shall speak of the might of Your awesome deeds, and I will declare Your greatness. They shall pour forth the fame of Your abundant goodness, and shall sing aloud of Your righteousness. The Lord is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love. The Lord is good to all, and His mercy is over all that He has made. All Your works shall give thanks to You, O Lord, and all Your saints shall bless You. They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom and tell of Your power, to make known to the children of man Your mighty deeds, and the glorious splendor of Your kingdom. Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and Your dominion endures throughout all generations. Amen. Let's continue to praise Him.

We're going to finish up Chapter 10 today, Lord willing. Before we get to the passage, would you please rise with me for the recitation of the Apostles' Creed? Unifying us with the body of Christ, Lord, throughout the world, we say this, I believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to hell. The third day, He rose again from the dead. He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty. From there, He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy universal church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen. Please remain standing if you can. And we are in, once again, Hebrews 10, beginning in verse 32. But recall the former days when, after you were enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings, sometimes being publicly exposed to reproach and affliction, and sometimes being partners with those so treated. For you had compassion on those in prison, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one. Therefore, do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what is promised. For yet a little while, and the coming one will come and will not delay. But my righteous one shall live by faith, and if he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him. But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls. This is the word of the Lord. May we be transformed by it. May we receive it, Lord, in such a way that we put ourselves faithfully, completely, intentionally under you. May we not play games with your word, but allow your word to change us. May we not try to figure it out in such a way as to minimize its impact, but to allow our souls to be fed and nourished in such a way that we grow in the likeness of Christ Jesus. Lord, may the words of my own mouth and the meditations of my own heart be acceptable to you, as you are my rock and my redeemer. And Father, may this message today be a message that endures in the hearts of men and women, so that when we go out from here and we go forth into the community, we will be a people who preach Christ and him crucified, share the gospel with wisdom and intentionality, with great faith and great hope, understanding that the world needs you. Let us be the ambassadors that you've chosen for this particular season. And we pray all of this in the mighty name of Jesus the Christ, once again, as your grateful adopted children. And all God's people said, Amen. Please be seated. So last week we did a fairly thorough job in verses 32 and 33, understanding that we are a people that once we came to Christ, everything changed. And in that change, in that transition to being a Christian, perhaps we've suffered. If we haven't suffered yet, we likely will for the cause of Christ. And sometimes when we suffer, other people are involved, and sometimes our suffering is because we are helping other Christians, not just because we ourselves are being afflicted, but because we know we have loved ones that are being afflicted. Maybe they're missionaries in another country. Maybe they lost their job because they're standing for what is true in Christ here. There are all kinds of ways in which we can suffer and be persecuted for the cause of Christ. And we discussed that last week. And we got into a little bit of where the Jewish people, the Jewish Christians in the first century, may have had to struggle with various realities. But in verse 34, where we read, Before you had compassion on those in prison, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one, this particular verse is where we're rooted. I'm sorry. So I'm going to go right there. So this particular verse is what roots us, what grounds us, so that we know that whatever is going on right here, right now, our hope, though we do expect some foretaste of the kingdom of God to land in our laps, to be tangible in this moment, it's just a foretaste. It's just a type and a shadow. And our true, enduring, abiding hope is for all eternity. And how do we know that? Well, because the Word says. And frankly, that's the only way we can know this. None of us really sees the future. We can imagine what it might be like in heaven. We can imagine where we're going to be when it's all said and done here. And sometimes our imaginations don't serve us well because, again, we're talking about God's eternal glory. We see so much fantasy and science fiction on television or in movies that we can sometimes imagine the grandeur and the glory of God eternally, but we limit it to what we see in these fantastical movies by great directors and the magic of film and all that stuff. But what the Word is explaining to us here is something that's much deeper for all of us in that we're to find this hope, to understand this hope for all eternity, from the Word of God itself. You joyfully accepted the plundering of your property. Just right there. I looked over there. I know a guy who got his truck broken into not too long ago. I know people around here have gotten things stolen from them. I've gotten things stolen from me. It bugs me when people steal or wreck my stuff. I have to worry about plundering in my own home sometimes with two little girls that just touch stuff that sometimes they don't know what they're messing with. They don't do anything on purpose or malicious. But, you know, your stuff gets jacked up, and I don't know if I've ever had great joy in knowing that my things have been plundered. I don't think, though, that I've had my things plundered for the cause of Christ. I don't think I've ever had someone do something so malicious to me just because I love Jesus so much. I don't know if anybody has had that happen to them either. What that left me with thinking about this week was whether or not I've done enough. And so I'm setting this up because I don't know if that's right. I imagine, gosh, have I just been so fortunate that no one's messed with me because you've protected me? Could be. Or have I just not said or done enough to make myself such a pain in the neck to heathens that they just want to mess with my stuff and tear me up and plunder me and my family? I don't know. It doesn't really at this point matter that much because my propensity would be to drive home this idea that you should do stuff until you get plundered, right? But that's not true, right? That's not necessarily true. We should be reflecting Christ enough so that people know we love Jesus and we're calling them to know Jesus. And then come what may, maybe some of us together will walk through when our property has been plundered. We'll see, right? I don't wish it on anybody. I'm not expecting it to happen. Again, I know my own propensities. And I was like, yeah, we need to do more. We need to get in that fight right in the middle of the city hall and say, plunder me, I dare you. But I don't think that's what the Word of God is saying actually, right? Because the author, again, I think it's Paul. And here's one of the reasons I think it's Paul. He says, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one. Essentially, we're holding on loosely to every single thing that we have here that's an earthly possession. We can take it or leave it. We can surrender it for the cause of Christ because we know I will have a better one, whatever it is. Whatever it is. My family is going to be more like Jesus. I'll be more like Jesus in eternity. My big red truck will never have a squeak on it in eternity. I don't know. My motorcycle will be super fast. I don't know if it's that kind of thing. It's really more like it's not the stuff, even though things will be glorious up there. It is the abiding hope, the abiding property that I have, that you have, is the possession of Christ Jesus. Are you possessed by Christ, and do you possess Christ in such a way that you're holding on loosely to everything in this world, including relationships, including a job, including all of the things that are precious to you? You know that no matter where you stand, you're going to stand for Christ. And that standing for Christ is giving you great joy. You're looking forward to the hope that is eternal all the time. That's all you can think about. Of course, we live in this world, so it's difficult to think about those kinds of things all the time. We have practical realities that we have to face. But these suffering Hebrew Christians were willing to sell everything. We see in the book of Acts people sold everything for the cause of Christ in the church. People saw Paul in prison and gave up everything to go visit him in prison and help him. People gave up their lives, every possession of their lives, for the cause of Christ. I don't know what that would look like here in the 21st century. I imagine it, but it starts to look real communal and communist when I play it out in my mind. And I don't think that we're called to be communist. I don't think that we're called to live in communes necessarily either. I don't think that we have to live all on one big plot of land in Oregon and share our possessions. But I do know that I have a ton of stuff. And I have stuff that I don't really need. And if I have a choice, and this is what I need to keep in front of me, and this is what I think we all need to keep in front of us, if there's a choice between extracurricular stuff, extracurricular activities, and I have a knowledge of a church and a community that's dwindled and is small and needs help to be lifted up, then I'm going to consider my stuff secondary to the body of Christ for which I belong as a member. I say, this is my home, this is my family, is there a need here? And do I ask that kind of question deep down in my soul anytime I'm preparing my heart to consume? Am I ready to consume for my own personal benefit, or do I need to think about my consumption in regard to the people that may have less or may have a need that I don't know about? Two things come up. One is my personal behavior and what I'm consuming. The other is, have people in the body spoken out their true needs? That's a super humbling reality. Because what I know and what I think everybody here knows is that it's really hard for us to ask for tangible help. So as we walk through this passage in Hebrews, it's calling us to live sacrificially. If we don't know the needs of our friends and neighbors and loved ones, we don't know how much we really need to sacrifice day to day. And we're living pretty well, just, you know, corporately even right here. None of us is starving, I don't think, and if you're starving, you better tell somebody here. There's no reason for us to be starving, right? But what are the other needs that are among us? Do we actually speak out our needs so that we can have the joy that says, you know what? I'm going to hold on to Christ. I don't need a whole lot. I'm going to help a brother or sister. It's just food for thought. It's just something that, you know, we have prayer lists and we have requests and stuff like that. It's not wrong that we pray for people's health. It's not wrong that we pray for people's healing. It's not wrong that we pray for those types of things. But we don't get a whole lot of, I have a really deep need right now for a specific help. Maybe it's financial. Maybe it's just, it's physical, it's a presence. I need you to come here and help me with something. Once we do that, once we ask someone to come into our lives for a real help, we become very vulnerable because we are a transactional people. Because of the way we live in this society, it's a capitalist society. We pay money and we get services, right? We should be able to eliminate at least some of that stuff because we are asking for help from other people. It doesn't happen much because we're thinking, man, if I ask, then something's probably going to be expected of me later on, or maybe I look weak, or I look like I need help, and then what? This lands on all of us a little bit differently. All of us have different personalities, and this kind of weight is difficult for all of us in different ways. I just want to sort of put it out that we need to know, the body needs to know if you have a need. It humbles us, all of us, when we ask for help, and we're supposed to be a humble people, and we're called to be humble as Christ is humble. If we have a hope that is fully in Christ, the expectation of that hope, in other words, the fruit of that hope, the way we receive that hope, is directly related to our connection to the life of the body of Christ. We don't receive the hope of Jesus Christ as fully as we can when we're out there by ourselves. It is a supernatural reality that when the body of Christ comes together spiritually, we see and we ascend to the hope that is within us when we see the hope within one another. So we have to be together more often than not. We have to see someone willing to be humble, and when someone's willing to be humble and ask for help, there's the hope of Christ right there. Someone has an expectation that the hope and help of Christ is going to come through the body, so they humble themselves and ask the body. We receive that. Praise God. The body is working as it's supposed to. It's a living organism. It's working together to expose the hope that we have in Christ Jesus. I trust Christ in you and in me so that someone's going to help me. If I don't have that hope, I think, gosh, I can do this all by myself. I'm purposing to forego hope. I don't want to see the hope of Christ enacted by the body where it acts the most. Is that making sense to all of you? Are you tracking with that? Okay. Further, the hope that is spelled out in Christ, the hope that is abiding, the hope that we get to hang on to, is articulated well in 1 Peter 1, beginning in the second part of verse 3. According to his great mercy, he, Jesus, he has caused us to be born again. This is an aside. Note the verbiage. Again, this goes back to just being reformed. It's the reality of soteriology. It's how we're saved. So anytime we see a scripture like this, I'm just going to highlight it so you all remember. He has caused us to be born again. You did not make a choice to follow Christ all on your own. Christ caused you to be born again. To a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time. Hebrews is going to go on to say something similar. This is but a shadow. So anytime we want to see something good and wonderful and played out, we look to the body of Christ, to one another, to see but a glimpse of what's going on in eternity forever. So just asking for help, for instance. We know that we won't need help in eternity because we're all going to be helping. We're all going to be serving. This is going to be automatic. We're going to just see people serving in their gifts all around us all the time. When I think about that, I think about those who serve and bust their tails to serve, and some people really enjoy what they do when they serve. I think about each person here, people out there, who are given gifts and they're not using them in the body of Christ. And what a sadness it brings to my heart because we're not seeing the fullness of Christ in you and you're not experiencing the fullness of Christ in you like it's going to be in eternity. You're not even experiencing the shadow yet because you're not serving, you're not sharing in the hope that is within you. The salvation that you have, that you know you have, is not going to be fully realized until you're in eternity. But how do you realize in any way right now that you're saved? One of the ways that you realize that you're saved is when you start making sacrifices of your own life and you find joy in it. You hit the wall, oh man, I got to do X, Y, or Z. I need to do this, it doesn't feel good. God, I don't want to do it right now. You have your little arm wrestling with the Lord. But you fight through it because you know what is good and right and true and beautiful. So you do it. And then once it's all said and done, or maybe even in the midst of doing it, you're suddenly realizing, oh man, this is what I'm made for. This is awesome. Look at the joy that's being shared. Look at the peace that's going on here. Look at the ways in which we're helping one another. This is the hope of eternity right now, and I've been pushing it away because I have not submitted fully to my own salvation. I've been doing things that people who aren't saved do to keep people at bay. I say to everybody here, I'm preaching to myself right now. I will tell you in the last two years since I've been here, I share this in different ways, but there's a cycle of being a pastor in a community, and the cycle is, okay, I'm there, we secured our calling, are people going to like me or not? I have to go through that. I have to wrestle with, and so even as I share the way the cycle starts for me, I didn't share, okay, I'm going to jump in and be ready to serve with all my heart. I want to be that way, but as soon as I hit, like I stub my toe on someone's personality or have to arm wrestle in some way, I'm just like, damn, man, I just wanted to serve, but I'm not going to be allowed to be the pastor here until this happens or that happens or whatever. So, again, this is how I've worked it out over the last couple of years, and where I'm saddened and repentant right now is because I hold people at bay because I'm just waiting, who's going to kick me in the shin, tell me they're going to leave, and say I don't like what you did here, right? That's going to happen for however long it's happened, and now, again, it's been two years. And so I didn't operate fully in just the hope of my salvation and the hope of my own calling and serving and just laying it all out. I felt like, man, I've got to protect my kids, I've got to protect my family, I've got to have this church grow. If I don't do all this, then maybe I'm not saved. There's crazy thoughts in my head. So as I say this out loud to you, knowing that I bump into various ways where I stop serving the best I can because of some conflict or pushback, I'm sure that happens for all of you in one way or another. You want to do something for the church or in the body, and maybe it's me, maybe it's someone else, or that's a stupid idea, or you get some resistance or whatever. We have to fight through resistance. When we fight through the resistance, what's happening inside us is we're being humbled all the time. It's not about you, it's not about me. Resistance comes from inside me. Whatever I'm being called to by God, he's not making me resistant because he's called me. So I'm pushing back against God, I'm pushing back against his Holy Spirit. I'm not just submitted to the great salvation that is in me to lay down my life. I don't like to lay down my life. I want to make sure there's something in it for me. I want to make sure our family can stay here. I want to make sure I can survive here. God said, I got you. It's not about whether or not you can survive here, idiot. You can survive here because I'm your God. Stop tripping. So as that happens in my soul, I'm sure that happens again for some of you. But I need to go back. Is the gospel true? Do I believe the gospel is true? Do I know I have an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, unfading, kept for me in heaven? Everything is going to be okay. It's God's power who's guarding it through faith for salvation, and it's going to be awesome. Because right now, if I have an awesome day, an awesome week, I get glimpses of this eternal glory. You all, I'm sure, get glimpses of the eternal glory. You get types and shadows. You get moments where God lifts you up. And those moments for all of us are really important to hold on to, to recall, to share. Again, with the body, we remind each other. Remember this time when you did this or that? Remember when God showed up here? Oh, yes, I do. Thank you for reminding me. That's something for all of us. Let me pray for you, return you to the hope of God's glory, not what's in your stinking thinking. And so on and so forth. Jesus said this in Matthew 25, beginning of verse 34. I was in prison, and you came to me. Then the righteous will answer him, saying, Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison or visit you and visit you? And the king will answer them, truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these, my brothers, you did it to me. Then he will say to those on his left, depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry, and you gave me no food. I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink. I was a stranger, and you did not welcome me. Naked, and you did not clothe me. Sick and in prison, and you did not visit me. Then they also will answer, saying, Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and did not minister to you? Then he will answer them, saying, truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me. And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life. I mean, just, it just lands. It's the word of God, and it just lands. And some of you are going to leave and see someone who's homeless on the street and probably give an extra buck or two or whatever this week. That's not the point. What Jesus is talking about are people that know him or proclaim that they know him. And there are people on the left and on the right, but they're in the same people group. They're the people that say they know Jesus. And so it's the body, the people that Jesus is preaching to, that's our first concentric circle. It's really easy for us, or much easier anyway for most of us, to move beyond that first concentric circle where we're not known and just do something nice for the stranger. Because there's no equity. There's no personal equity. There's no exchange of knowing you and you don't know me. I just go do something nice, give you your little McDonald's card or whatever, and you say thank you and you're real excited. And you got a little snack and I go on my way feeling like I've done a good deed. The investment in the stranger, I know there are not many people here right now, but some of you are relative strangers to one another. And we don't know what's going on. Not everybody here knows what's going on with everybody else here. Again, going back to this need that we have, are we such strangers here that we don't even know the needs that we have? Are you breaking inside? You have a desperate need for prayer because you have a sin that's wrecking you. And you're just not asking for prayer from people who know and love Jesus, who will help you to be not only accountable, but want to love you enough for you to have a whole relationship and a holistic relationship with Christ. It's something in your life breaking down in such a way that if you were to tell about it and say you had a need, you would be vulnerable. You would feel found out. You would feel less protected. You're not trusting God for his body to protect and love you, to give you what you need. Maybe it's material. Maybe it's spiritual. But if we can't do that inside these walls, we should forget about doing it out there because out there is less important. If we're getting that done in here, and I will grant this, this is a loving body. You guys are awesome as far as I know. I've seen the experience and witnessed a lot, but I've also seen and heard where that hasn't happened. I think a lot of times when I've heard that it's because of the way people didn't ask or they were held accountable because they asked more than once for the same thing. And if they were to be served again, it would have cost them because it required them to make some changes, some good and healthy and right changes in their lives. We're talking about life on life. We're talking about getting serious about who Jesus is in our own lives. Do we believe he is who he says he is together? Do we believe he is our God? Can we let go of material goods to help bless other people? Can we let go of our time, talent, and treasures or invest our time, talent, and treasures in such a way that the cost is meaningless? Because we know we're looking and hoping for the better eternity, the reality of what's forever. When we know he's not going to say, away from me. He's not going to say, into the fire with you. He's not going to say, remember that time? There was that one person that you just said, I don't want to help them. And they saw you week after week, knowing that you were acting like a Christian. And you weren't acting like a Christian, really, when it really counted. When it was, when there was a cost that you would be found out, that you're really faithful or you didn't help at all. You guys get the gist of what I'm saying, I'm sure. Again, this is for all of us, and it can be difficult. Imagine building in this small community from this place so that when you come in here, you know you are a part of a family of believers. We don't want in your life to mess with you, to gossip about you, to tell on you, to poke fun at you. We want to be a part of your life so that we can love you like Jesus loves you. Can we share in that? And when we share in that, and we add one person, one brick at a time to share that, then we have 50 people, then we have 100 people, then we have 200 people. And it takes time. And it especially takes time because this is what we're talking about. We're not talking about bringing people into a Sunday party. We're talking about bringing people into a community where we're really disciples, where we're leaning into Christ, where we're standing with fig leaves with each other because you know me, I know you, and you have nothing to brag about. It's all Jesus all the time. That's a beautiful idea. It's a beautiful reality that we can build upon. That's the hope. We don't get these opportunities all the time. I will say that. This isn't a unique opportunity for any church to sit in this and to know that we have an opportunity to build from this place, not just gather a bunch of people. In fact, you need to tell people. I tell people when they're invited in, what you're going to be invited into. We're not joking about discipleship. If you don't want to be a part, that's okay, but we're going to remind you all the time what you're missing out on. You need to be, for the sake of your own soul, not for the sake of having shares full, for the sake of your own soul, you need to be known. We need to know you and you need to know us. So, all that I'm talking about right now is simply a shadow of what's to come. It's this abiding hope, and there are four ways in which we can understand the substance. All the substance of eternal life of heaven is revealed in the shadows here on earth. It's revealed. We're given a taste of it. It's realized in such a way that it's not yet consummated, so you're not getting the fullness of it. When you're kind and loving and humble and ask for help and receive help, you're getting a foretaste of what it's like in eternity where you are not your own, ever, and you know it all the time. And you're working for the glory of Christ and the worship of Christ in everything you do all the time. And so whether you're on the receiving end or the giving end of that shadow, it does, for you and for those on the receiving and giving end, give you a foretaste of what's going to be in heaven. If you don't want to be revealed, if you don't want to be a humble servant now, if you don't want to have your life taken away right now, there's no way you want to be in heaven because in heaven it's certainly not about you. It's certainly not about me. The substance is always better than the shadow. Hold on to that, too. You get a foretaste. It's good. It's nice. It's a good reminder. And then we go, it's going to be even better, even richer. The substance is timeless. It's enduring. It can never be pillaged or stolen. You can give stuff away. People can lose it. They can not say thank you. They can be careless with your giving. No one's going to be careless with your giving. No one's going to be careless with your serving when you're in heaven. It's going to be a joy for the recipient and for you, the giver, and it's going to be there all the time. In heaven, everything is substantively better. That's your hope. That's my hope. Christ is going to be even more than he is now. Those are just words. We have to stay in God's word. We have to give ourselves examples here on earth. There's not enough superlatives. There are not enough superlatives to make that more tangible here. There are actions that we can take. There is hope that you're going to have. There are glimpses that you get. And just know every time you do that, it's going to be better in eternity. Every time you get a taste now, it's going to be better in eternity. Matthew Henry put it this way. In heaven, they shall have a better life, a better estate, better liberty, better society, better hearts. Better work. Everything better. It's going to be awesome. Hebrews 10, 35 and 36. Therefore, do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what is promised. I want you to see the exchange here, because we can overpromise and underdeliver here on earth. And I, as a pastor, can tend to preach overpromised and overrealized and underdelivered. And I don't want to do that. I know there are people here working really hard, giving a lot of their time, talent, and treasure in various ways. You and I are waiting for a great reward. But we need to have endurance. And endurance will come through hearing what I'm saying now, through praying on a regular basis, through reading God's word on a regular basis. Endurance, like carbo-loading in a sport or eating the right foods, comes from the right nourishment spiritually here. I cannot tell you. This is a little bit personal. Again, I know I'm getting older. But man, endurance, it seems like it's a generational drop-off. Endurance, the suiting up, showing up, everyday grind. Enduring in this life, it is hard. It is taxing. There is a time in our lives where we just got to know sometimes we got to suck it up and drive on. It's endurance. Just hold on. Tomorrow will be better. My own family, we have this dynamic. We have a cycle. And there will be a week or a day or a couple of days where dad's the one not enduring. Man, let's just go. And mom's the one, shut up. We got to fight through it. And then there's a switch, right? And mom says, let's just go. No. And I'm the one with the endurance. And, you know, it's hard because our kids watch this and go, are we all going to be able to endure forever together? Or can we have us all be enduring all at once, please? Because otherwise this house is crazy. Sometimes it's a week. Sometimes it's a month. I mean, these cycles have changed through our lives. I'm sure it's true for all of you too. Just understand that's a biblical reality. It's in the enduring that we draw nearer to Christ. It's in the enduring where we understand. And it's usually looking back that we see it. We don't always see it existentially or experientially while we're doing the enduring. So just notice the words on the page in the Word of God. You got to endure. Enduring is part of the Christian life. Suck it up. It will get better. You will either die and go to heaven, and that will be awesome. You'll be done here. Your endurance killed you. Praise God. Take me home. Or it didn't kill you. And you're enduring and you're at the light at the end of the tunnel. Praise God. And that was just one cycle where you had to endure because it's going to happen again. That's our lives. Again, why we need one another to be encouraged in seasons where it's required of us to endure. I go two or three weeks, start getting just gripping, and I'll get one call or one text or one prayer. Yep. I breathe. This is just an enduring season. I have to be careful with my words. Everybody does. I'm more vocal about my enduring seasons. It probably kicks me in the tail sometimes because I was like, I don't know. I don't know if I can endure. I can endure. You guys just know, okay? Anytime I say I can't endure, I'm just mouthing off because I know I can endure. That's probably the worst part for me and for my family is that for me personally, I've endured without. I've been homeless, so I know I can endure. I've been stuffed in a box in the military. I was put in a box to be a prisoner of war, right? It was an example of being a prisoner of war, and so we had to be put in these boxes and toyed with while we were in these boxes. 48 hours in a box, smaller than a trunk of a car, people kicking on you, making fun of you, calling your names, then complete silence. You don't know what time it is. You don't know how long you've been in there. I've endured it, okay? There are just things I know. So I know I can endure, and sometimes I think, I don't want to, Lord. I don't want to endure. I just don't want to. Look at this beautiful world. Can't I get my stuff and go move away and just endure in green pastures? Yeah, no. No. And neither can you. It's not the same. It's not a formulaic thing. It's your souls, each of you, your soul. When you're in the time of trial, when you're in the time of enduring, you've got to know you're holding on to the great reward. You've got to know you're holding on to your eternal hope. You've got to know that you and Jesus are good and that you're good with the body of Christ. You keep suiting up, showing up, doing what you're called to do. These are where disciplines come in. These are where being enriched and nourished on the word just comes in because you just do things out of habit. You're just enduring. That's a reality. It is not a happy word of unicorns and rainbows that the body loves to hear. This is this passage. You've done the will of God. Once you've done it, the will of God is that you endure. The will of God is that you give, you lay down your life, you serve, you leave it all on the field. Leave it all on the field. I don't know if you've ever played a sport. Just leave it all on the field. Make them have to sweep you up off the astroturf. You've done it all. You've done everything you could do. That's our calling. It's not always going to be painful, but there certainly will be some difficulty and some pain. And the promise is, and the way we know we're doing this is, when we go to a place like James 1, beginning of verse 2, count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds. For you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness, and let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. That is your hope. Every time you're in an enduring season, every time you're steadfast, you're getting something from the Lord. You're growing in your faith. You're growing in your hope. This is for your joy and his glory. We don't experience it as all joy. We count it. This is joy. God's doing something. Count it joy. Thank you, Lord. I couldn't do this without you. I wouldn't have done this without you. I certainly wouldn't be in this circumstance if I had my choice. Thank you, Lord. Count it joy. This is the goodness. You can't say this to non-Christians. Non-Christians go, shut up, you are ridiculous. Grab onto some maxim or axiomatic phrase from the world and say, you know, what doesn't kill me makes me stronger. It's not about you. What doesn't kill you needs to be killing you so you can have more Jesus. It's actually made to kill you. That's what is supposed to be happening. No, it's not making you stronger. It's making Christ stronger in you because it is killing you. That's the reality of being in Christ. I'm dying to myself. Christ is being raised up in me. The spirit is working greater things in me. Amen? Amen. I'm going to ask the worship team to come up. We're going to prepare our hearts for communion. You've endured a long sermon. Thank you, Lord. If you wouldn't mind coming up and grabbing your elements as the worship team is preparing. As you prepare and confess and get ready for communion, as we worship the Lord together, it's good to meditate on whether or not you've dodged opportunities to endure. Whether or not you've dodged places that you were to count joy. Where are you resisting what the Lord has to work out in you? My life is yours. My hope is in you only. And my heart to hold. As you make this sinner holy. Holy. Holy. Your glory is so beautiful. I fall unto my knees in awe. And the heartbeat of my life is to worship in your light. Your glory is so beautiful. Your glory is so beautiful. My life is yours. My life is yours. My hope is in you only. And my heart to hold. As you make this sinner holy. Holy. Holy. Your glory is so beautiful. I fall unto my knees in awe. And the heartbeat of my life is to worship in your light. Your glory is so beautiful. Your glory is so beautiful. Glory, glory, hallelujah. Jesus, you are good. Yes, Lord, you are good. Glory, glory, hallelujah. Jesus, you are good. Oh, you're so good. Glory, glory, hallelujah. Jesus, you are good. Glory, glory, hallelujah. Jesus, you are good. What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. What can make me whole again? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Oh, precious is the flow that makes me white as snow. No other fount I know. Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Glory, glory, hallelujah. Jesus, you are good. Yes, Lord, you are good. Glory, glory, hallelujah. Jesus, you are good. Glory, glory, hallelujah. Jesus, you are good. Amen. Lord, as we prepare to take these elements that represent our forgiveness and our great reward, we ask that you would help us, Lord. Remind us that the reward is not finally an empty nest. The reward is not finally we get to retire. The reward is not finally I've made my first million. Finally anything here on earth, there is nothing final about this earth, Lord. The termination of our lives here brings us into a glory that is unfathomable for us. A glory that we cannot comprehend. The glory that we look forward to. Help us to put aside anything, Lord, that we think is going to be our lasting reward when it's only a mere trinket here on this earth. Help us to think eternally. Help us to live eternally. Help us to bring freedom and hope to those who are imprisoned, whether they are people who are imprisoned physically or imprisoned by spiritual forces that keep them away from the body of Christ fully. Help us to bring freedom to those who are in bondage to sin. Help us to bring peace and help and assistance and service to those who are in desperate need here on earth. And help us all, Lord, to humble ourselves enough to see this foretaste, to experience this foretaste of eternal glory by setting aside our pride, setting aside anything that we think we want to hold on to here that is not of you. Simply let go. Put it at the foot of the cross. Help each of us, Lord, to be reminded that you are reward, are our reward. You are our reward right now. You are enough. You're always enough. And you're always more than enough. Thank you that we can be reminded through the broken body represented by this bread, the body that's been broken because of every sin that's ever been committed and will ever be committed here on earth. Let us take it together now. Take as well, Lord, this juice that represents the blood of your Son, Jesus the Christ, being reminded that you have rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son, the Son that you love, Lord, in whom we have redemption and forgiveness. Thank you, Father, that we are forgiven for our sins. May we consume this juice now. And as we do so, Lord, let us receive our pardon and be grateful for the pardon that comes through the personal work of your Son, Jesus Christ. Please stand as we sing the doxology together. Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Praise Him, all creatures here below. Praise Him above, the heavenly host. Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen. Amen. Now, for our doxology, be reminded. Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great Shepherd of the sheep by the blood of the eternal covenant, equip you with everything good that you may do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. Go and be the church. Amen.
