Excellent, open up to Psalm 100.
00:05-00:07
Psalms is right in the middle of your Bible.
00:09-00:16
And today we're going to be looking at Psalm 100 as we kick off this sermon series over the next several weeks.
00:19-00:20
A very simple title.
00:22-00:24
God is good.
00:26-00:27
God is good.
00:30-00:31
Look at Psalm 100 with me.
00:31-00:31
Are you there?
00:33-00:38
Psalm 100 says, "Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth.
00:39-00:41
Serve the Lord with gladness.
00:42-00:43
Come into His presence with singing.
00:44-00:47
Know that the Lord, He is God.
00:47-00:48
It is He who made us.
00:49-00:54
And we are His." We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
00:56-00:59
Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise.
01:00-01:01
Give thanks to Him.
01:01-01:02
Bless His name.
01:04-01:06
For the Lord is good.
01:07-01:12
His steadfast love endures forever and His faithfulness to all generations.
01:14-01:15
Look at v. 5.
01:15-01:23
The first phrase says, "For the Lord is good." Underline that in your Bible.
01:23-01:24
Highlight that.
01:26-01:27
The Lord is good.
01:28-01:33
This is the most fundamental and one of the most important doctrines in the entire Bible.
01:34-01:36
The Lord is good.
01:38-01:46
But the reason that we're spending several weeks talking about this is because this is often the most disbelieved doctrine of the Bible.
01:47-01:52
Understand, church, you have to be so careful here, because this is Satan's oldest trick.
01:52-01:57
Do you remember when God created Everything was good.
01:57-01:58
And everything was good.
01:58-02:00
And then the Lord made man and woman.
02:00-02:02
And it was very good.
02:02-02:06
And you get to Genesis 3.
02:06-02:09
And you get to the first question of the Bible.
02:10-02:11
You know what the first question of the Bible is?
02:12-02:14
Satan shows up in the form of the serpent.
02:15-02:23
And he says, "Did God really say you couldn't eat off any of the trees in the garden?" No, He didn't say that.
02:23-02:25
But why did Satan ask that?
02:26-02:32
Understand church, what Satan was doing was trying to cast this shadow of doubt over God's goodness.
02:32-02:42
Satan showed up to Adam and Eve and he said, "Is God really good?" Sounds to me like he might be holding out on you a little bit.
02:42-02:45
Maybe he's not as good as you thought he was.
02:45-02:48
He's trying to make you doubt God's goodness.
02:49-02:52
And that is still Satan's trick.
02:52-02:53
He's still doing that today.
02:54-03:04
questioning this statement from Psalm 100:5, "For the Lord is good." And sure, we believe that in church, don't we?
03:05-03:07
It's the content of what we sing.
03:07-03:08
It's the content of what we proclaim.
03:09-03:10
It's how we pray.
03:11-03:12
God is good.
03:13-03:19
But even for believers - listen, even for believers, doubt can creep in.
03:21-03:29
Sure, we believe it's Sunday, when Monday rolls around, and we're looking at our finances, and we just can't seem to get ahead.
03:29-03:32
God, I've been struggling in this area for so long.
03:34-03:35
Or you have another health setback.
03:35-03:40
It looked like you were progressing in your illness, getting better.
03:41-03:44
Now it looks like the illness is progressing over you again.
03:44-03:46
God, what are you doing?
03:48-03:50
Or you've been trying to save your marriage.
03:52-04:03
And just when it looks like this spouse that hasn't been getting it, finally takes a step forward, the next thing you know, he takes three steps back.
04:05-04:09
We start to wonder, "God, what are you doing?
04:09-04:10
Why would you allow this?
04:10-04:20
God are you really good?" And understand that this is a heart issue, not a head issue.
04:20-04:30
If I can confess before you, in my worst moments, I've wondered, God, do You even care?
04:31-04:49
When I've dealt with health issues with my own children, and some of the severe developmental delays that we struggle with, there have been times in my heart - I'm just being honest with you - there are times in my heart that I've said to God, Would you even care?
04:51-04:51
I know you're there.
04:53-04:54
I know you have all power.
04:54-04:59
And I know that you've heard my prayers over and over, and I know you've heard my wife's prayers over and over.
05:01-05:04
Don't you care what we're going through?
05:05-05:13
Don't you see how answering our prayers would greatly benefit us and our marriage and the kingdom and the church?
05:15-05:18
As I said, those are bad moments.
05:19-05:22
There are times that my own heart has wrestled with that.
05:24-05:29
And when that happens to me and when that happens to you, you fall into the place where Satan wants you.
05:31-05:32
The shadow of doubt.
05:34-05:35
Is God really good?
05:36-05:38
So we have one point.
05:39-05:48
In this entire sermon series, over the next several weeks with all of these Psalms that What we're going to be looking at in this sermon series will center around the Psalms.
05:48-05:51
There's one point in this whole series, and that is this.
05:52-05:55
God is good.
05:57-06:02
The question as we kick this off is just simply this.
06:02-06:05
Do you believe that God is good?
06:06-06:09
Do you believe that God loves you?
06:10-06:14
Do you believe that God is for you?
06:15-06:23
And I'm sure many of you today would stand up and say, "You know what, Pastor Jeff, I think that I do.
06:24-06:33
I know that I want to, but you know what, sometimes I'm not really sure if I believe that." So how do I know if I really believe that?
06:33-06:37
In your outline today, here's what we see in Psalm 100.
06:39-06:41
Very simple message, but it's this.
06:41-06:42
God's goodness affects me.
06:43-06:45
How do you know that you really believe that God is good?
06:45-06:49
You know because God's goodness affects you.
06:50-06:51
God's goodness affects me.
06:52-06:54
And how does God's goodness affect us?
06:55-06:56
Number one, write this down.
06:56-06:57
It makes me respond.
06:59-07:00
It makes me respond.
07:00-07:02
Look at verses 1 and 2 again.
07:02-07:37
says, "Make a joyful noise to the Lord all the earth. Serve the Lord with gladness. Come into His presence with singing." And looking at the verbs, just looking at the verbs there, he says, "to make noise," he says, "to serve," and he says, "to come into the Lord's presence." And here's the thing, everybody does that. Everyone here this morning did those three Everyone here this morning made a noise.
07:38-07:43
While the band was up here leading the worship time, everybody was making a noise.
07:44-07:55
And everybody here came serving in some capacity, whether it was putting out signs or handing out bulletins or getting things set up in the lobby or working in children, people were serving.
07:56-08:00
And obviously you've come here because you want to come into his presence.
08:00-08:05
Everyone does those things, but look at these modifying words.
08:06-08:09
Look at these words that put emphasis on these verbs.
08:10-08:11
What are these called? Adjectives?
08:13-08:14
English class was a long time ago. Adjectives.
08:15-08:20
So we all do these things, but look at these modifying words.
08:21-08:23
These descriptive words.
08:25-08:27
It says to make a joyful noise.
08:27-08:28
Who makes a joyful noise?
08:31-08:33
When you were singing, were you just making noise?
08:34-08:37
Was there joy in the noise that you were making?
08:39-08:42
And when it talks about serving, what does he say?
08:42-08:42
Serve the Lord how?
08:43-08:44
With gladness.
08:45-08:46
Many people served.
08:46-09:02
How many people served this morning saying, "I'm glad to serve." And then he says, "Come into His presence with singing." Was the music just part of the agenda for you?
09:03-09:08
Or was music the way that you were worshipping God with your emotions?
09:10-09:12
That's why we worship with music, by the way.
09:12-09:17
That's why at Harvest Bible Chapel, we place such a premium on that music time.
09:17-09:21
Because that's how we worship God with our emotions.
09:22-09:24
I want to talk about serving for a second.
09:26-09:27
Because this is very important.
09:28-09:40
He says, "Serve the Lord with gladness." When we talk about serving, you know, serving begrudgingly or serving while you're complaining, that doesn't even work in human relationships.
09:42-09:48
Like my wife Erin, for example, I enjoy serving her because I love her.
09:50-09:54
The reason I do the things that I do for Erin, which is never enough, it's never going to be enough.
09:55-09:56
I could never do enough for her.
09:58-10:02
But the reason I do the things that I do for her is because I love her.
10:03-10:14
But how would Erin feel if she got home from work and I said, I made you a nice coffee.
10:15-10:21
You know, I get so sick of it every day, trying to take care of the kids.
10:21-10:23
And all I got to stop everything and make your iced coffee.
10:24-10:28
It's just, it just eats up time that I don't have.
10:29-10:32
Or, you know what, I did a load of laundry.
10:33-10:35
I never know what I'm doing with the laundry.
10:36-10:38
I just throw it all together and it's never good enough.
10:40-10:43
Or she comes home and I say, you know, I did the dishes.
10:45-10:47
I hate doing dishes, Erin, by the way.
10:47-10:48
I hate doing dishes.
10:49-10:51
How many people live in this house anyways?
10:52-10:53
I hate doing dishes.
10:54-10:56
"Oh, I did the dishes for you.
10:57-11:10
I did the dishes because I knew you'd be expecting me to do the dishes, so I love you." I would think that Aaron would rather that I don't do those things than do them while I'm complaining.
11:13-11:16
I would suggest to you that perhaps the Lord feels that way in our service.
11:17-11:28
That when we come serving, complaining, "I came to help set up the church today but so and so was there and he really gets on my nerves and oh and then he's always this and that.
11:29-11:38
Now I gotta put the signs out again and every Sunday I gotta put the stupid signs out like people don't know where the church is." Do you think that blesses the Lord?
11:39-11:41
When we serve with complaining?
11:43-11:46
He says serve the Lord with gladness.
11:47-11:51
And when we talk about serving the Lord, there are several wrong motivators.
11:51-11:52
I want you to write these down.
11:52-11:55
There are several wrong motivators in serving God.
11:55-11:56
Several wrong motivators.
11:56-11:57
Number one is guilt.
12:00-12:03
Guilt says this, I better serve or people will think I'm lazy.
12:04-12:05
You know, I'm kind of looking around.
12:05-12:09
Everybody else is doing stuff, so I'm going to feel guilty if I don't do stuff, so I better do stuff.
12:11-12:13
That is a wrong motivation to serve.
12:15-12:16
Number two is obligation.
12:17-12:22
obligation says, "I better serve, because I have to if anything's going to get done around here.
12:24-12:31
You know, if I don't do it, nobody else is going to do it, so I better do it." That is a wrong motivation to serve.
12:33-12:36
Thirdly, a wrong motivation is thinking that you're earning favor with God.
12:38-12:40
"I better serve if I want God to be good to me.
12:42-13:12
If I want God to help me with my finances, or if I want God to help get my family in If I want God to get me this promotion, I better serve at the church. That is a wrong motivation to serve. Fourthly, serving for people. For people. I better serve because Jeff's counting on me. I really don't feel like doing it and frankly I'm sick of doing it, but Jeff asked me to do it so I better do it. That is a wrong motivation to serve. I hope, I sincerely hope nobody in this church is serving for me.
13:14-13:14
What does that mean?
13:15-13:22
If I would drop over dead this afternoon, you're going to say, "Well, I just wonder how long it lasted, but I guess that's over." No!
13:22-13:23
The ministry keeps going.
13:24-13:24
Okay?
13:24-13:25
It's not about me.
13:25-13:29
I'm just one little part of this body of believers.
13:31-13:33
Those are all wrong motivations.
13:34-13:38
None of these are going to result in authentic and lasting service.
13:41-13:48
And if you felt a twinge of truth in any of those as motivation for why you're serving, that should be a big red flag for you.
13:50-13:51
I'm gonna give you a test.
13:52-13:55
Four questions, these are all true or false, eyes on your own paper.
13:57-13:59
Okay, no copying off your neighbor.
14:00-14:02
This is a test, true or false.
14:02-14:04
Number one, I love to give.
14:05-14:06
I love to, true or false.
14:06-14:08
Now be honest, don't give church answer.
14:09-14:13
Honest. Honest. We're going for honesty here, right? We're going for authenticity.
14:13-14:23
So, do you love giving? When it's offering time, you know, I love giving. We talk about Romania and, you know, the mission work that we're getting involved with there.
14:24-14:25
I love giving.
14:26-14:28
True or false for you? True or false?
14:30-14:35
Number two, I consider serving a privilege, not a duty.
14:36-14:38
I consider it a I am privileged.
14:38-14:44
I am thankful that I have opportunity to serve at that church.
14:46-14:47
True or false?
14:49-14:53
Number three, I do what I do at this church for Jesus Christ.
14:53-14:54
I do it for Jesus.
14:56-14:56
True or false?
14:58-15:02
Number four, I feel a personal joy when I serve.
15:03-15:06
You know, while I'm doing what I'm doing, I just feel very fulfilled.
15:06-15:08
I feel like this personal joy.
15:08-15:12
I'm looking forward to getting to church on Sunday so I can serve.
15:12-15:13
I'm looking forward to that.
15:14-15:18
Sunday is my favorite day of the week because I love going and serving.
15:18-15:19
True or false?
15:22-15:27
If you put false for any of those, it should be a little red flag for you.
15:29-15:38
2 Corinthians 5.14 says, "The love of Christ controls us." That's what the psalmist is telling us.
15:40-15:47
The reason we do what we do, it's a natural response to the goodness of God.
15:47-15:48
That's why we do what we do.
15:48-15:53
Because God's been so good to us, the love of Christ controls me.
15:54-15:56
It makes me respond.
15:57-16:00
Number two, it makes me rely.
16:01-16:02
It makes me rely.
16:02-16:03
Look at v. 3.
16:03-16:05
It says, "Know that the Lord, He is God.
16:06-16:10
He who made us, and we are His.
16:11-16:16
In other words, He is God and I am not.
16:17-16:25
Right? He is God and I am not. And that's a phrase you hear me say often and many of you know that. You're ready to say it, right?
16:26-16:29
That's something we have to constantly be reminding ourselves.
16:29-16:31
He is God and I am not.
16:31-16:37
But look at this next verse, or next phrase rather. It says, "We We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
16:40-16:41
I'll talk about sheep for a second.
16:43-16:47
You know sheep are the dumbest animals in the animal kingdom.
16:49-16:52
And I know many of you are aware of my aversion to cats.
16:55-17:02
But quite honestly, just being objective, sheep are the dumbest animals in the animal kingdom.
17:03-17:04
And I can prove that.
17:05-17:11
Very simply, what do you call the guy that they hire to babysit the chickens?
17:12-17:12
What's that guy called?
17:13-17:16
Oh, there is no guy that they hire to babysit the chickens, right?
17:16-17:19
There is nobody because chickens just kind of take care of themselves.
17:21-17:25
How many of you have been driving down the road and you see chickens like along the side of the road?
17:26-17:29
I always wonder, how do those chickens know to stay off the road?
17:30-17:32
They just do, right?
17:33-17:34
Colonel Sanders might be driving by.
17:35-17:39
But what do you call the guy that they pay to babysit the cows?
17:41-17:45
The answer is, there is nobody that you pay to babysit the cows.
17:45-17:48
They just kind of take care of themselves throughout the day, right?
17:50-17:53
What do you call the guy that they pay to babysit the sheep?
17:54-17:55
A shepherd!
17:55-17:56
We knew that one!
17:57-18:06
Sheep are so dumb that they require a person to watch over them so that they don't kill themselves accidentally.
18:07-18:09
Because they are that stupid.
18:10-18:14
They are weak and they are wayward and they are defenseless.
18:15-18:16
Sheep are completely defenseless.
18:17-18:19
That's another reason you need a shepherd.
18:21-18:31
You know, if something attacks my dog, my dog knows to fight and to bite back and paw and dance around and juke and jive.
18:32-18:33
The dog knows how to do that.
18:33-18:36
And some animals have horns that they use to defend themselves.
18:38-18:40
How do sheep defend themselves?
18:42-18:43
They can't.
18:44-18:54
If a sheep's getting attacked, his best hope is that whatever's attacking him would be willing to not kill the sheep if the sheep was willing to give him some wool to make a sweater.
18:54-18:56
That's like his only option.
18:56-18:59
Like just, I'll make you something out of my fuzzy here.
19:01-19:03
That's the only option that a sheep has.
19:05-19:06
Helpless, weak, wayward.
19:07-19:08
Here's the thing, church.
19:11-19:13
You are a sheep.
19:15-19:17
And it is important for you to rest in this truth.
19:19-19:21
This isn't an insult, church.
19:21-19:22
This is reality.
19:22-19:24
You are a sheep.
19:25-19:28
And there's somebody sitting here right now saying I am not a sheep.
19:29-19:30
I am a lion.
19:32-19:32
You are not a lion.
19:34-19:43
You may be a sheep that thinks you are a lion, but a sheep that thinks it is a lion, eventually realizes that he is not a lion.
19:45-19:46
So what's the point?
19:46-19:48
Why does the Bible tell us that we are sheep?
19:48-19:53
The Bible tells us that we are sheep because we are so desperately in need of a shepherd.
19:56-19:59
That's why Jesus in John chapter 10 came along and said what?
19:59-20:00
I am.
20:01-20:02
The Good Shepherd.
20:03-20:05
Jesus said that His sheep know His voice.
20:06-20:08
Jesus said that His sheep follow Him.
20:11-20:16
We are so unfulfilled and powerless when we start to rely on ourselves.
20:18-20:20
No confidence in the flesh.
20:20-20:26
You know, a sheep is happiest and safest when it is closest to the shepherd.
20:28-20:31
Oftentimes I hear people making fun of Christianity.
20:31-20:33
One of my favorites - have you ever heard somebody say this?
20:34-20:36
They say, "Christianity is a crutch." How many people have heard somebody say that?
20:36-20:42
"Christianity is a crutch!" You know what the response to that is?
20:44-20:49
The response is, "Yes, it is." He says, "I don't have the strength to make it on my own.
20:51-21:04
I am completely reliant upon Jesus Christ for everything." And the sheep says, "I wouldn't want it any other way." So God's goodness affects me.
21:04-21:05
It makes me respond.
21:07-21:07
Serving Him in gladness.
21:07-21:11
It makes me rely on Him as our Shepherd.
21:11-21:13
Thirdly, it makes me react.
21:14-21:16
It makes me react.
21:16-21:16
Look at verse 4.
21:17-21:21
He says, "Enter His gates with thanksgiving." Underline the word "thanksgiving" in your Bible.
21:23-21:26
"And His courts with praise." Here it is again.
21:26-21:40
"Give thanks to Him." "Bless His name." So not only do we respond outwardly in service, but we respond inwardly in a thankful attitude.
21:43-22:40
were training in Chicago back in 2010 under James McDonald, it was a season where we didn't have a lot of money. Harvest was gracious to put our family up in an apartment, provide for us so that we didn't have to work while we were training, but we still owned a house back here that we were paying the mortgage on, so money was extremely tight. I was recovering from a very bad haircut And I don't want to get into all the details about the haircut right now, but let's just say I had a not ideal haircut and It was so short that I had to wait for it to grow it a little bit so that I could get it fixed Well in Elgin, Illinois where we were training there was this Place that we drove by all the time that had this big neon sign in the window. It said haircuts $5 Not having a lot of money.
22:41-22:43
I $5 haircut.
22:44-22:45
What else do you need to know?
22:45-22:47
That's just being a good steward, right?
22:48-22:49
And I can go and get this fixed.
22:49-22:57
I had this stripe of bangs across the front, and it was-- so I show up at this hair place, walked right in.
22:58-22:58
There were no customers.
22:59-23:00
They took me right to the chair.
23:02-23:04
The girl came up, and I said, you know what?
23:06-23:15
I would just like it short and choppy on top, and just a little short around the sides and the back, but I want you to leave some hair on top, OK?
23:15-23:18
I don't want buzzed or anything like that, OK?
23:18-23:20
I just want you to leave a little bit of hair on top.
23:21-23:32
And the lady looked at me and she goes, [IMITATING BUZZING] And I go, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
23:32-23:34
I want hair on top.
23:34-23:35
I want you to leave some hair.
23:37-23:40
And she is sheering me.
23:42-23:45
And I'm like, no, no, I don't want shade.
23:45-23:46
(grunts)
23:50-23:51
At this point, I'm like, it's too late.
23:52-23:53
It's too late.
23:54-23:56
And I'm saying, just don't be a jerk.
23:57-23:59
Try to be nice, it's too late.
23:59-24:05
Being mean isn't gonna do, just complaining or criticizing, just be nice.
24:06-24:13
So, while she was shaving me, I said, have you lived in Elgin long?
24:15-24:16
And she mumbled something.
24:17-24:19
But I didn't quite make out what she said.
24:20-24:22
Maybe it was the anger, maybe it was the clippers.
24:23-24:24
I couldn't make out what she said.
24:26-24:29
And she's going to town on my head.
24:29-24:33
And I said, how long have you worked here?
24:34-24:38
She mumbled something else that I didn't quite understand what she was saying.
24:38-24:40
And I'm like, well, I'm really having a hard time hearing.
24:41-24:55
can't understand a word this woman is saying. I asked her something else, you know, "Are you from around here originally?" and she said something, but this time I understood what she said. It was Spanish.
24:58-25:09
Then the pieces fit together. This woman didn't speak English, so when I told her not to shave my head, she had no idea what I was saying.
25:11-25:14
So I'm like, well, we're just going to have to make the most of the rest of this.
25:15-25:19
Well, while she was cutting my hair-- I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but this is a true story.
25:19-25:27
But while she was cutting my hair, she was extremely close up-- and I'm going to use you, Ken, here-- she was extremely close up while she was shaving me.
25:28-25:33
But she kept doing this thing that was a combination between a hiccup and a burp.
25:34-25:36
I'm going to try to demonstrate that for you.
25:36-25:38
It sounded something like this.
25:41-25:43
And she did it like every seven seconds.
25:43-25:46
So she's shaving my head, and she's like an inch away from my nose.
25:47-25:47
And she's like,
25:47-25:48
[GRUNTING]
25:55-25:56
You're like, Pastor Jeff, that's so gross.
25:57-25:57
Tell me about it.
25:57-25:58
I was there.
26:01-26:09
So now I'm completely bald, grossed out, and I go up to the front to pay.
26:11-26:14
And I'm standing at the counter, and there's nobody there.
26:15-26:16
I'm fuming.
26:18-26:24
All of a sudden, out of this side room, this Latino man jumps out of nowhere.
26:24-26:28
He's like, ho, ho, ho, senority!
26:30-26:33
And I'm like, $5.
26:36-26:36
Adios.
26:38-26:40
Why did I tell you that story?
26:41-26:43
Oh yeah, I remember now.
26:45-26:47
There were so many things that I could have been thankful for.
26:49-26:52
The fact that we didn't have much money but I found a place that would cut my hair for $5.
26:52-26:54
The fact that I didn't have to wait.
26:54-26:56
The fact that I had transportation to get there.
26:56-27:33
the fact that we were able to make that happen. I had a lot of things to be thankful for but what do you think I remember about that encounter? That woman burped in my face the entire time and if we're honest Many times in our lives, we have 10,000 things to be thankful for, but we have a tendency to dwell on one or two negative things, true or false.
27:35-27:45
And the reason thankfulness is so important, you know Romans 121, jot that reference down, but Romans 121 says that there is a link between faith and thankfulness.
27:47-27:53
Specifically, Romans 1 says there's a link between unbelief and ingratitude.
27:54-28:04
You find me a person that lives a life of being ungrateful all the time, I'll show you a person that has no faith.
28:06-28:08
That's what Romans 1 says about unbelievers.
28:08-28:10
Romans 1 says, you know what their problem is?
28:10-28:13
They refuse to be thankful to their Creator.
28:13-28:14
That's the problem.
28:14-28:18
They refuse to acknowledge that God is good to them.
28:18-28:21
And they refuse to be thankful to God for His goodness.
28:24-28:26
That's the problem with unbelievers.
28:26-28:29
The question for you - are you a thankful person?
28:31-28:33
Are you a person that looks at the big picture?
28:33-28:38
Do you thank God, again, for the 10,000 things going well in your life?
28:38-28:42
Or do you focus on the few hardships that you're facing?
28:44-28:54
You need to think of different categories, in different compartments of your life where you're experiencing God's goodness and God's provision, and you're seeing God at work.
28:55-28:58
There's so many arenas where that's happening right now in your life.
29:00-29:03
Let's not focus on the one or two negative things right now that are going on in our lives.
29:06-29:07
So God's goodness makes me react.
29:09-29:12
And finally, it makes me remember.
29:14-29:16
It makes me remember.
29:17-29:18
Look at verse 5.
29:19-29:20
It says, "For the Lord is good.
29:20-29:34
His steadfast love endures forever, and His faithfulness to all generations." Speaking of thankfulness, is thankfulness an issue of the past, the present, or the future?
29:35-29:36
Which is it? Pop quiz.
29:36-29:37
Thankfulness.
29:37-29:39
Is it an issue of the past, present, or future?
29:40-29:41
It's an issue of the past, right?
29:42-29:48
looking back to say, "Look at how God has been at work in my life." It's an issue of the past.
29:50-29:55
Remember in Luke chapter 17, Jesus healed ten lepers as they were going.
29:55-29:57
And how many came back and said thanks?
29:57-29:57
Do you know that story?
29:58-29:59
How many came back and said thanks?
30:00-30:00
One.
30:01-30:02
Do you remember what Jesus said?
30:04-30:11
Jesus said, "Where are the other nine?" And do you know what that tells me?
30:12-30:15
It tells me that the Lord expects us to be thankful.
30:17-30:19
He expects us to be thankful.
30:21-30:24
And it's a very natural thing, and if you're a parent, you totally understand this.
30:25-30:26
It is a natural thing, parents.
30:26-30:28
You expect your children to be thankful.
30:30-30:30
True or false?
30:32-30:34
We have this play out in our home all the time.
30:34-30:35
For example, Kate, I can talk about it.
30:36-30:37
He's in the Harvest Kids thing, right?
30:38-30:44
And Cage will say, "Daddy, can I have a drink?" And I'll get him a drink and hand it to him and he'll walk away.
30:45-30:50
I'll say, "You're welcome." "Cage, you're welcome." He's walking away.
30:50-30:57
"Cage, you're welcome!" He'll turn around and say, "I heard you." And just keep on walking.
31:00-31:01
We experienced it last week.
31:01-31:03
Last week we were on vacation.
31:04-31:09
Aaron and I have been wanting to do this for the last few years decided to just go for it this year.
31:09-31:14
But we took our children to Universal Studios in Orlando and Islands of Adventure.
31:15-31:16
How many people have ever been there?
31:16-31:19
The place is amazing.
31:20-31:21
But it's two parks.
31:21-31:27
And there's the Universal Studios side that has movie-themed rides and shows and parades and all this stuff.
31:27-31:30
And then there's Islands of Adventure that's all these different theme parks.
31:30-31:38
There's the Marvel theme park in Harry Potter and Dr. Seuss and all these other things.
31:38-31:44
But Aaron got us a three-day pass where you could go to either park.
31:44-31:45
So we flew down to Orlando.
31:46-32:08
We spent three days, morning to night, hiking through all of these parks, and dining out, and getting the kids things, and then back at the hotel on the water slide, and in the pool and eat whatever you want.
32:10-32:14
We got home Thursday night, you know how it is at the end of vacation.
32:15-32:26
Flew back, drove home, in the door, put the suitcase down, and it was getting near bedtime and I was completely exhausted.
32:27-32:55
I said, "All right, Cade, we need to get ready for bed." He said, "Wait, you're gonna tell me my story?" Usually every night I tell him a bedtime story. He goes, "You're gonna tell me, you're gonna tell me my story." I said, "You know what, buddy?" I said, "Daddy's exhausted. Why don't we just get ready for bed and we'll pick it up tomorrow." He goes, "Not fair! Not fair!
32:58-33:13
I just flew you to Florida. We just spent a lot of money. We let you do whatever you want for the last five days. Not fair! To bed with you!
33:16-34:18
But you know honestly church that's me sometimes. Look at how much God does for me and provides for me and blesses me and and there's times that something doesn't work out maybe the way that I wanted to work out I didn't get my story God and I turned to God and I said God this isn't fair what what we can be just like that when we don't take time to remember that's why I want to encourage you I've told you before you should keep a prayer journal and this is mine but what I do is I organize things by you know things I get in the friendship registers when you put a prayer request in there the first thing I do every week is I write this prayer request down right here and then over in this column I have people that I'm regularly praying for I have some family members extended family members even some people here in this church that are just always on that list because of some chronic health issues and whatnot.
34:19-34:22
So I have people stuff up here, Aaron, Owen, and Kate always at the top.
34:22-34:29
And then down here I have church stuff, areas of ministry that I'm praying for for the church.
34:29-34:35
I encourage you to do that, to keep track of who you're praying for.
34:35-34:37
But here's why I want you to do that.
34:37-34:54
While I write the people down over here, on this other side, you can see here's an example, if your eyes are really good, but on this page I write how God answered the prayers.
34:55-35:01
Like this one for example, this is from my birthday of 2014.
35:01-35:07
But I was praying for Milo Stroup, Good report from the doctor. I put that update there.
35:08-35:11
Here is a marriage that was struggling for a long time.
35:11-35:17
Not anybody in this church, but friends from outside the church, where the husband seemed to be having a change of heart.
35:18-35:24
We were seeing God answer the prayer. We've been praying for God to change this man's heart, and God was. And I wrote that down here.
35:25-35:33
There is a family, actually from this church, that I've been praying for because I'm about to have a baby. Praise.
35:34-35:36
They had their baby. Mom and baby are healthy.
35:37-35:43
And I encourage you to do this because this lets you look back.
35:44-36:01
God's faithfulness to all generations. This lets you look back at your own personal history and say, "Look, God is so good. I've been praying for these things, and this is how I've seen the Lord show up." Just grab a blank notebook. They're like a nickel. It's staples, okay?
36:01-36:08
and use this and see how the Lord has been faithful in answering your prayers.
36:09-36:15
Take time when you pray to go over that list of how He's answering prayer.
36:15-36:18
This is what I do. I go through and I just give thanks.
36:18-36:20
"God, this is how You answer. I just want to say thank You.
36:21-36:26
I want to say thank You the way You answered this prayer, God." Take time to be thankful.
36:26-36:32
When we live in God's goodness, it makes me remember that God is good.
36:34-36:36
And this sermon really is just the introduction to the series.
36:38-36:45
My goal over the next several weeks is we want to get this truth that God is good, we want to get it from our head to our heart.
36:45-36:50
Or in other words, we want to get the truth that God is good from Sunday morning to Monday morning.
36:51-36:55
We want to get it from Sunday morning to Wednesday morning.
36:56-36:57
God is good.
36:58-37:00
God wants you to know His goodness.
37:00-37:02
God wants you to experience His goodness.
37:03-37:05
And God wants you to display His goodness.
37:08-37:16
God wants to use you as a showcase to a lost and dying world that so desperately needs to know that God loves them.
37:17-37:18
God wants to display that through you.
37:20-37:22
The fact is, knowing that God is good.
37:24-37:26
Knowing that God is good changes everything.
37:28-37:30
You pray because He loves you.
37:32-37:33
He is for you.
37:34-37:48
You serve because you're in a love relationship with your Creator, with your Savior, and you have a heart to want to express your love in service because God is good.
37:50-37:55
Knowing that God is good eliminates doubt in hard times.
37:56-37:58
It lets you cling to Romans 8:28.
37:59-38:00
It says what?
38:01-38:10
"God causes all things to work together for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose." Knowing that God is good lets you hold on to that verse.
38:10-38:26
When things are going south, when things are crumbling around you, you say, yes, my circumstances are hard, but I know that God is going to use this to ultimately benefit me because He is good.
38:27-38:33
And in the same vein, knowing that God is good eliminates anxiety and worry from your life.
38:35-38:39
Because this good God said that He would never forsake you.
38:40-38:44
He said that He would be with you at the end of the age.
38:46-38:48
Will you bow your heads and pray with me please?
38:51-38:53
Father in heaven, you are good.
38:55-38:59
Father, sometimes we doubt that.
38:59-39:01
Sometimes, Father, we're standing beside Adam and Eve.
39:03-39:15
In the garden, when the serpent said to Eve, "Did God really say?" Sometimes, Father, we're kind of right there, wondering if your Word has made it abundantly clear.
39:17-39:28
And this most significant act in history You have forever settled the matter that You love us, that You are good toward us, and the grace that You have shown us through the death of Your Son.
39:30-39:41
Father, we thank You that You took our sin and You put it on Jesus Christ and You punished our sin while Your Son was crucified.
39:42-40:02
We thank You, Father, for the resurrection, the eternal life that You give, hope of glory that you've promised us all in the work and in the person of your Son. Father I pray especially for those here right now who are struggling.
40:02-40:36
I know that there are many who are struggling with various trials. Father I pray whatever happens whether it's a phenomenal outcome or maybe it's not the outcome that we've been praying for but whatever happens father I pray above all things that we see your hand of goodness through the trial we praise you God and we thank you in Jesus name
