some of your relationships went off
track
not because of what was said in the
relationship but because of what was not
said what you started saying to your
self
[Applause]
he said within himself that’s what the
rich man did in the parable when he said
to himself I built many barns I’ll take
life easy he didn’t know that very night
his life would be required he said to
himself it matters where you start with
what you think about
and self is a very small son for your
life to orbit around
it’s a very limited Loop
self is a
is a very small scale to see the world
in
in fact sing with me do
[Music]
Ray
me me me
me me
me I’m just me singing the song me that
many of us me have been singing all week
me
me me
me me me me
what’s your favorite meditation me
me
what are they thinking about me me
when is anybody ever gonna notice me
I changed the key but it’s still about
me sometimes I can find a way to make
anything about me me me me me me me me
come Melissa choir practice let the
words of my mouth and the meditation of
my heart me me
me me
I don’t think it’s a hit Ella
I don’t think anybody’s gonna buy the
album
I don’t think it’s gonna bring me joy
I don’t think it’s gonna bring me peace
I don’t think I’m gonna figure out a
solution if I start with myself I need a
new Loop
I said I need a new Loop
some of you came to church today not
just the hero’s sermon but to preach one
to yourself why don’t you start with
your source and not with yourself now
unto him come on who is able shut up
come to do immeasurably more than I ask
or imagine
[Applause]
I’m tired of that track
me
me me
I thought about singing it till it
wasn’t funny anymore and it sounds like
we’re already at that point
I know how long it would take how long
will it take until you change that
meditation realizing that if you start
with yourself you’ll say in yourself and
you will always be limited by who you
are but when you start with the Great I
Am
[Applause]
David said who’s that they said um
think his name’s Goliath
David said I’ll fight him Saul said
you’re small
David said I’m not coming against him in
myself or in my name but I come against
you in the name of the Lord
the skies declare the glory of God
notice David did not start with what was
in his heart
you start with what’s in your heart
you’ll scare yourself to death
that’s a horror movie to start with
what’s in your heart I was going to
preach one time and the guy who invited
me I never been to a church before he
said just share what’s on your heart I
said oh no you don’t want me to do that
imma share what’s in heaven
because if I tell you what’s in my heart
it won’t help any of us
[Applause]
so I don’t start my meditation with
what’s in myself I notice that every
meditation and again
don’t think meditation
[Music]
um
think about the loop
think about the lines that Loop over and
over again in the way that you think
about how you have this subtle way if
you let yourself into turning every
interaction
into a stage
on which you were the star I don’t do
that I don’t like to be noticed I don’t
do that I don’t like people to even look
at me I’m not that type of person this
must be a preacher thing now I promise
you you talk too much sometimes
I promise you some of the stuff that you
post oh you didn’t think I was talking
about your Instagram feed did you I
promise you some some of you need to go
home and change the bio on your on your
Instagram and it should just say what
it’s really all about me me
just give us an expectation of what’s
gonna happen on that feed
when you’re easily offended
when everything’s an insult
did you see how they looked at me they
weren’t looking at you they were
thinking about dinner they have not
bought groceries this week and their mom
has cancer Could You Get outside
yourself and think about something
bigger the skies declare the glory of
God people
life is bigger than what happens in here
do your neighbor a real favor look at
him and say get out your head
your head
that’s a horrible place
[Applause]
am I preaching or am I preaching
every meditation every Loop that starts
with self ends in one of two places and
I want you to look for this in your life
this week
it’s either going to end
in scarcity
or shame
every sermon that you preach to yourself
and you were always preaching to
yourself
in fact Martin Lloyd Jones said that our
problem is we spend too much time
listening to ourselves
and not enough time preaching to
ourselves
isn’t that what David Psalms have shown
us
where he would say to his soul it’s time
to go to school bless the Lord O my soul
and all that is within me bless His holy
name he’s preaching to himself and so
are you but when you preach to yourself
from yourself your sermon will always
lead to scarcity
brene Brown says that the number one
meditation of many of our hearts is not
enough
she says we apply it to time
we apply it to money
we apply it to our talent
and the sermon that plays in our mind if
we would ever stop and listen to it it
starts every morning not enough
how much sleep did you get last night
how much money do you make on that job
Graham asked me the other day Dad is 56
000 a year a lot of money I said it is
till you make it
that might be the devil’s favorite
sermon not enough
not enough
not enough he preached it to the
disciples
because they looked at five thousand men
and women and children and Jesus said
feed them and they said well we don’t
have a whole lot that we don’t have a
whole lot we we have Five Loaves and two
fish but that’s not
enough
because they were starting with
themselves
but they were standing next to the
source
I wonder how different the story would
be if you would ask the source instead
of asking yourself
check the source he’s more than enough
[Applause]
you’ll never shout in the back of the
room when I start hollering like this I
know you don’t like it when I holler but
this is not a silent sermon this is a
loud sermon somebody shout he’s thrown
[Applause]
efficiency all my failures
this blood is enough
his grace is enough his word is enough
the law of the Lord is pure Reviving The
Soul
but if I start
with myself
I end
with scarcity
it’s a loop
because I start down here
and so by the time I’ve looked around
through my day
I end my day feeling deplete
I wonder if you got a new Loop
I wonder if you got a new Loop
and started with the source
instead of starting with yourself
I wonder how the cycle would change
if you started with your Source I know
it’s basic
but didn’t David start with the heavens
and then move toward his heart
the skies declare the glory of God
they show forth his power day after day
and night after night and day after day
and night after night and all I’ve got
to do to stay in step with God is keep
the beat of Heaven happening inside my
heart because there’s always enough in
heaven there’s always enough patience in
heaven there’s always enough provision
in heaven there’s always enough bread in
heaven there’s always enough always
enough always enough my God shall supply
all of your needs according what if you
got in that Loop what if you ask God
[Applause]
fulfill your empty places
you start with yourself you end in
scarcity
you start with yourself
you end in shame
because I look at myself and I feel like
David
does something weird I think he wrote
this song it’s contested
he he might have written it he might
have not written it but let’s give him
credit
because this is a Psalm that
embodies a characteristic known as
wisdom poetry
it kind of It kind of switches Deets in
the middle of the song it’s going on and
on about the skies and to have his for
many years they thought it was two
different poems put together
as they were studying back and trying to
find out how it was written and when it
was written it was such a sharp break at
verse 7 that they thought well maybe
this is a different thing you know we’re
talking about the skies and the Sun and
stars then all of a sudden
David makes a break in verse seven and
he starts talking about the law of the
Lord
that’s what he says it’s perfect
refreshing the soul
look at verse 12.
but who can discern their own errors
so he is an imperfect man
looking into a perfect
law
he’s he’s looking at what the law is and
what it does and how it brings
peace
wisdom
and joy
but yet he knows that he has broken the
very law that produces the very things
that he wants
I don’t think it’s much of a break
because he is contemplating how the
heavens are able to effortlessly declare
the glory of God but he cannot
because I’m stuck in a cycle called sin
and there are secrets in my heart that
no matter how much I dress them up with
the words of my mouth the meditations of
my heart fall short of the glory of God
Paul knew it too
he said what the law was powerless to do
in that it was weakened by the sinful
nature look what God did God started a
new Loop
[Applause]
see through the law man tried to reach
his way to God but it was a cycle of
Shame caused by sin
so I reach and fall short and try and
fall short and repent and fall short and
get up and fall down and reach and fall
short and try and fall short and get up
and fall down and God broke the cycle
for in the fullness of time God sent
forth his son in the likeness of sinful
man to be a sin offering
for what the law was powerless to do in
that it was weakened by the sinful
nature God did by sending his own son in
the likeness of sinful man so that we
can say there is therefore now no
goddamn
there is therefore
[Applause]
let me give you a new Loop no
condemnation
no condemnation
no condemnation
for those who are in Christ Jesus this
is the kind of gospel preaching that got
me to the Cross this is the kind of
gospel preaching that’ll break the
chains of Shame off of your life this is
the kind of gospel preaching that you
can preach on Monday morning Tuesday
night Wednesday afternoon you can preach
this stuff to yourself there is
therefore now no condemnation
why because I’m in Christ
in other words
such seven people and tell them I got a
new Loop
I’ve got a new Loop
that’s what the gospel gives me a new
meditation and watch this I no longer
live by situation get ready to jump up I
live by Revelation I know who
we know who I am in him
you better touch seven more people tell
them I got a revelation I got a
revelation and whatever I go through I
got a revelation of who’s in the fire
with me I know what he did I know who he
is I know who I am in him I got a new
look
I’m losing my voice y’all shout for me
