- >> Congregation: Wow. >> I prayed about this message.
- 00:01:27.407 --> 00:01:29.008
- >> I prayed about this message. Please know that I did,
- 00:01:29.075 --> 00:01:30.243
- Please know that I did, because there's so much
- 00:01:30.310 --> 00:01:31.244
- because there's so much I can't do right now.
- 00:01:31.311 --> 00:01:32.479
- I can't do right now. And I feel bad about it,

- And I feel bad about it, and I wish I could do more.
- 00:01:33.646 --> 00:01:34.948

- but there's so much I can't do. And I know you've been tired,
- 00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:41.354
- And I know you've been tired, and I know it's been hurting,
- 00:01:41.421 --> 00:01:42.522
- and I know it's been hurting, and I know it's been lifelong.
- 00:01:42.589 --> 00:01:44.023
- and I know it's been lifelong. And it might not be racism.
- 00:01:44.090 --> 00:01:45.325
- And it might not be racism. It may be an addiction.
- 00:01:45.391 --> 00:01:46.493
- It may be an addiction. It may be wondering how much
- 00:01:46.559 --> 00:01:47.460
- It may be wondering how much longer you're gonna have
- 00:01:47.527 --> 00:01:48.361
- longer you're gonna have a job, or when you're gonna
- 00:01:48.428 --> 00:01:49.562

- 00:01:49.629 --> 00:01:50.763
- get one, or when this is all gonna be over, or when God's
- 00:01:50.830 --> 00:01:52.165
- gonna be over, or when God's gonna send you somebody
- 00:01:52.232 --> 00:01:53.199
- gonna send you somebody who gets you.
- 00:01:53.266 --> 00:01:54.134
- who gets you. I know you've been tired.
- 00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:55.301
- I know you've been tired. And I prayed.
- 00:01:55.368 --> 00:01:55.869
- And I prayed. I said, "God, what do
- 00:01:55.935 --> 00:01:56.836
- I said, "God, what do I tell them?
- 00:01:56.903 --> 00:01:57.904
- I tell them? They're tired.
- 00:01:57.971 --> 00:01:59.205
- They're tired. And what do I tell the person
- 00:01:59.272 --> 00:02:01.141
- And what do I tell the person who is too tired to go on?
- 00:02:01.207 --> 00:02:03.209
- who is too tired to go on? What do I tell the one who says,
- 00:02:03.276 --> 00:02:04.511
- What do I tell the one who says, "I'm too tired?"
- 00:02:04.577 --> 00:02:05.311
- "I'm too tired?" God said, "Tell them,
- 00:02:05.378 --> 00:02:05.979
- God said, "Tell them, "I got tired too."
- 00:02:06.045 --> 00:02:08.181
- "I got tired too." >> Congregation: Wow.
- 00:02:08.248 --> 00:02:13.753
- >> Congregation: Wow. >> Jesus sat down in Samaria.
- 00:02:13.820 --> 00:02:20.760
- >> Jesus sat down in Samaria. That's where.
- 00:02:20.827 --> 00:02:22.095
- That's where. To talk to a woman.
- 00:02:22.162 --> 00:02:23.897
- To talk to a woman. That's who.
- 00:02:23.963 --> 00:02:25.865
- That's who. Asking for water.
- 00:02:25.932 --> 00:02:27.400
- Asking for water. That's what.
- 00:02:27.467 --> 00:02:29.335
- That's what. But why?
- 00:02:29.402 --> 00:02:31.271
- But why? Because He was tired.
- 00:02:31.337 --> 00:02:41.047
- Because He was tired. Because He was fully God,
- 00:02:41.114 --> 00:02:45.018
- Because He was fully God, fully man.
- 00:02:45.084 --> 00:02:49.222
- fully man. As much as we love to shout
- 00:02:49.289 --> 00:02:50.657
- As much as we love to shout about His divinity, you know
- 00:02:50.723 --> 00:02:55.028
- about His divinity, you know how we were a minute ago,
- 00:02:55.094 --> 00:02:57.664
- how we were a minute ago, when I was setting you up
- 00:02:57.730 --> 00:02:58.665
- when I was setting you up about the Great I Am?
- 00:02:58.731 --> 00:03:00.967
- about the Great I Am? Just to bring you back down
- 00:03:01.034 --> 00:03:07.941
- Just to bring you back down so you could know that
- 00:03:08.007 --> 00:03:11.477
- so you could know that the same God who created you,
- 00:03:11.544 --> 00:03:15.348
- the same God who created you, who was strong enough,
- 00:03:15.415 --> 00:03:18.718
- who was strong enough, who was powerful enough --
- 00:03:18.785 --> 00:03:21.654
- who was powerful enough -- Everybody thinks Jesus was weak,
- 00:03:21.721 --> 00:03:23.156
- Everybody thinks Jesus was weak, raise your hand.
- 00:03:23.223 --> 00:03:26.793
- raise your hand. Maybe --
- 00:03:26.859 --> 00:03:29.329
- Maybe -- Maybe being weary
- 00:03:29.395 --> 00:03:31.864
- Maybe being weary doesn't mean you're weak.
- 00:03:31.931 --> 00:03:36.669
- doesn't mean you're weak. "Jesus, tired."
- 00:03:36.736 --> 00:03:41.608
- "Jesus, tired." Why was He tired?
- 00:03:41.674 --> 00:03:44.811
- Why was He tired? I didn't say who
- 00:03:44.877 --> 00:03:45.612
- I didn't say who was He tired of.
- 00:03:45.678 --> 00:03:46.479
- was He tired of. We already know it was Peter.
- 00:03:46.546 --> 00:03:48.214
- We already know it was Peter. [Laughter]
- 00:03:48.281 --> 00:03:49.782
- [Laughter] Come on.
- 00:03:49.849 --> 00:03:51.918
- Come on. Peter's fighting you
- 00:03:51.985 --> 00:03:52.752
- Peter's fighting you at every turn.
- 00:03:52.819 --> 00:03:54.821
- at every turn. Cussing and stuff in front
- 00:03:54.887 --> 00:03:55.755
- Cussing and stuff in front of the press.
- 00:03:55.822 --> 00:03:56.789
- of the press. Having to bleep Peter out,
- 00:03:56.856 --> 00:03:57.757
- Having to bleep Peter out, you know.
- 00:03:57.824 --> 00:03:59.726
- you know. I know He was tired
- 00:03:59.792 --> 00:04:00.593
- I know He was tired of the Pharisees.
- 00:04:00.660 --> 00:04:01.761
- of the Pharisees. He couldn't wash His hands
- 00:04:01.828 --> 00:04:02.929
- He couldn't wash His hands or not wash His hands.
- 00:04:02.996 --> 00:04:03.963
- or not wash His hands. They followed Him to every
- 00:04:04.030 --> 00:04:04.964
- They followed Him to every bathroom, every dinner.
- 00:04:05.031 --> 00:04:06.366
- bathroom, every dinner. I know He was tired of them.
- 00:04:06.432 --> 00:04:08.301
- I know He was tired of them. But it says He was tired
- 00:04:08.368 --> 00:04:09.569
- But it says He was tired from the journey.
- 00:04:09.636 --> 00:04:12.472
- from the journey. Thinking about Jesus' journey.
- 00:04:12.538 --> 00:04:13.806
- Thinking about Jesus' journey. You know,
- 00:04:13.873 --> 00:04:15.375
- You know, they walked everywhere.
- 00:04:15.441 --> 00:04:21.014
- they walked everywhere. No Uber.
- 00:04:21.080 --> 00:04:23.950
- No Uber. No UberJesus, UberChrist,
- 00:04:24.017 --> 00:04:26.653
- No UberJesus, UberChrist, UberSavior.
- 00:04:26.719 --> 00:04:28.321
- UberSavior. Three-day walk from where
- 00:04:28.388 --> 00:04:30.490
- Three-day walk from where they were baptizing
- 00:04:30.556 --> 00:04:32.392
- they were baptizing through Samaria.
- 00:04:32.458 --> 00:04:34.727
- through Samaria. Straight through was
- 00:04:34.794 --> 00:04:35.361
- Straight through was the shortcut, by the way.
- 00:04:35.428 --> 00:04:38.231
- the shortcut, by the way. The direct route is sometimes
- 00:04:38.298 --> 00:04:39.332
- The direct route is sometimes the divine route.
- 00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:42.502
- the divine route. Instead of hiding the fact
- 00:04:42.568 --> 00:04:43.536
- Instead of hiding the fact that you're tried, you just
- 00:04:43.603 --> 00:04:44.170
- that you're tried, you just say, "God, I'm tired."
- 00:04:44.237 --> 00:04:47.140
- say, "God, I'm tired." Somebody was yawning during
- 00:04:47.206 --> 00:04:48.841
- Somebody was yawning during my sermon one time
- 00:04:48.908 --> 00:04:49.976
- my sermon one time and I just got mad about it.
- 00:04:50.043 --> 00:04:51.010
- and I just got mad about it. I said, "How are you tired?
- 00:04:51.077 --> 00:04:52.178
- I said, "How are you tired? You're not doing anything."
- 00:04:52.245 --> 00:04:54.747
- You're not doing anything." You know, but I found out later
- 00:04:54.814 --> 00:04:55.848
- You know, but I found out later they worked a night shift
- 00:04:55.915 --> 00:04:58.117
- they worked a night shift and came straight to church.
- 00:04:58.184 --> 00:05:03.456
- and came straight to church. It's kind of hard to understand
- 00:05:03.523 --> 00:05:04.791
- It's kind of hard to understand someone if you only see them
- 00:05:04.857 --> 00:05:06.326
- someone if you only see them at one point of their journey.
- 00:05:06.392 --> 00:05:07.827
- at one point of their journey. >> Congregation: Wow.
- 00:05:07.894 --> 00:05:11.497
- >> Congregation: Wow. >> And some people that we
- 00:05:11.564 --> 00:05:12.231
- >> And some people that we think are weak maybe are weary.
- 00:05:12.298 --> 00:05:15.902
- think are weak maybe are weary. Have you thought about that?
- 00:05:15.968 --> 00:05:18.404
- Have you thought about that? That just because you're weary,
- 00:05:18.471 --> 00:05:19.839
- That just because you're weary, it doesn't make you weak?
- 00:05:19.906 --> 00:05:21.674
- it doesn't make you weak? How do you know that?
- 00:05:21.741 --> 00:05:22.709
- How do you know that? Jesus.
- 00:05:22.775 --> 00:05:24.911
- Jesus. "I am the light of the world.
- 00:05:24.977 --> 00:05:27.513
- "I am the light of the world. I am the bread of life.
- 00:05:27.580 --> 00:05:29.415
- I am the bread of life. I am the resurrection.
- 00:05:29.482 --> 00:05:31.484
- I am the resurrection. I am the door.
- 00:05:31.551 --> 00:05:33.152
- I am the door. I am the shepherd.
- 00:05:33.219 --> 00:05:34.754
- I am the shepherd. I am the true vine.
- 00:05:34.821 --> 00:05:36.556
- I am the true vine. I am the way."
- 00:05:36.622 --> 00:05:38.024
- I am the way." At some point, six hours after
- 00:05:38.091 --> 00:05:40.093
- At some point, six hours after they left that morning at noon,
- 00:05:40.159 --> 00:05:42.128
- they left that morning at noon, He said something we wouldn't
- 00:05:42.195 --> 00:05:43.529
- He said something we wouldn't expect to hear the Savior say.
- 00:05:43.596 --> 00:05:45.598
- expect to hear the Savior say. "I am...tired."
- 00:05:45.665 --> 00:05:50.069
- "I am...tired." This is the incarnation.
- 00:05:50.136 --> 00:05:54.374
- This is the incarnation. I worship a God who is powerful
- 00:05:54.440 --> 00:05:56.809
- I worship a God who is powerful enough to give me strength
- 00:05:56.876 --> 00:05:59.979
- enough to give me strength and who is human enough
- 00:06:00.046 --> 00:06:01.948
- and who is human enough to get tired.
- 00:06:02.014 --> 00:06:04.150
- to get tired. And for some reason this week,
- 00:06:04.217 --> 00:06:08.921
- And for some reason this week, I felt that some of us needed
- 00:06:08.988 --> 00:06:10.089
- I felt that some of us needed to meet tired Jesus.
- 00:06:10.156 --> 00:06:15.528
- to meet tired Jesus. I thought maybe you could
- 00:06:15.595 --> 00:06:16.362
- I thought maybe you could relate to Him.
- 00:06:16.429 --> 00:06:19.699
- relate to Him. 'Cause His journey didn't
- 00:06:19.766 --> 00:06:20.500
- 'Cause His journey didn't really start with just
- 00:06:20.566 --> 00:06:23.669
- really start with just leaving that morning.
- 00:06:23.736 --> 00:06:24.504
- leaving that morning. I mean, that's enough.
- 00:06:24.570 --> 00:06:25.304
- I mean, that's enough. Six hours that day.
- 00:06:25.371 --> 00:06:27.206
- Six hours that day. Six hours in one day.
- 00:06:27.273 --> 00:06:28.775
- Six hours in one day. I mean, I got a six-hour drive
- 00:06:28.841 --> 00:06:29.942
- I mean, I got a six-hour drive coming up with my kids
- 00:06:30.009 --> 00:06:31.444
- coming up with my kids and I'm downloading every
- 00:06:31.511 --> 00:06:32.645
- and I'm downloading every episode of The Office on all
- 00:06:32.712 --> 00:06:34.013
- episode of The Office on all of their phones just hoping
- 00:06:34.080 --> 00:06:35.281
- of their phones just hoping we can make it six hours,
- 00:06:35.348 --> 00:06:36.783
- we can make it six hours, still be saved, still be
- 00:06:36.849 --> 00:06:38.050
- still be saved, still be married, still be healed,
- 00:06:38.117 --> 00:06:39.285
- married, still be healed, delivered, blessed,
- 00:06:39.352 --> 00:06:40.153
- delivered, blessed, and one happy family.
- 00:06:40.219 --> 00:06:41.387
- and one happy family. And that's a drive.
- 00:06:41.454 --> 00:06:43.790
- And that's a drive. Six hours.
- 00:06:43.856 --> 00:06:45.324
- Six hours. 'Cause you leave at 6:00.
- 00:06:45.391 --> 00:06:46.025
- 'Cause you leave at 6:00. It's noon.
- 00:06:46.092 --> 00:06:46.726
- It's noon. It's hot.
- 00:06:46.793 --> 00:06:47.293
- It's hot. It's the heat of the day.
- 00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:49.195
- It's the heat of the day. Of course He's tired.
- 00:06:49.262 --> 00:06:52.865
- Of course He's tired. And yet, I wondered, "Was
- 00:06:52.932 --> 00:06:54.066
- And yet, I wondered, "Was it only physical, or did He go
- 00:06:54.133 --> 00:06:58.771
- it only physical, or did He go through Samaria because He
- 00:06:58.838 --> 00:06:59.906
- through Samaria because He was tired of the way they
- 00:06:59.972 --> 00:07:00.773
- was tired of the way they were treating each other?"
- 00:07:00.840 --> 00:07:02.675
- were treating each other?" >> Congregation: Wow.
- 00:07:02.742 --> 00:07:06.579
- >> Congregation: Wow. >> Why was He tried?
- 00:07:06.646 --> 00:07:08.915
- >> Why was He tried? Why did He come?
- 00:07:08.981 --> 00:07:12.051
- Why did He come? To abolish the barriers?
- 00:07:12.118 --> 00:07:16.322
- To abolish the barriers? Full of grace and truth?
- 00:07:16.389 --> 00:07:17.457
- Full of grace and truth? And we beheld His glory.
- 00:07:17.523 --> 00:07:19.826
- And we beheld His glory. His journey didn't start
- 00:07:19.892 --> 00:07:20.927
- His journey didn't start in Bethlehem.
- 00:07:20.993 --> 00:07:22.929
- in Bethlehem. "In the beginning was the word,
- 00:07:22.995 --> 00:07:24.297
- "In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God,
- 00:07:24.363 --> 00:07:25.398
- and the word was with God, and the word was God.
- 00:07:25.465 --> 00:07:26.666
- and the word was God. And the word became flesh."
- 00:07:26.732 --> 00:07:28.234
- And the word became flesh." That's a long trip.
- 00:07:28.301 --> 00:07:31.871
- That's a long trip. From the sapphire seal
- 00:07:31.938 --> 00:07:33.105
- From the sapphire seal of Heaven to the dusty streets
- 00:07:33.172 --> 00:07:34.841
- of Heaven to the dusty streets of Samaria, of course
- 00:07:34.907 --> 00:07:36.275
- of Samaria, of course He was tired.
- 00:07:36.342 --> 00:07:39.245
- He was tired. "Even youth will grow
- 00:07:39.312 --> 00:07:41.180
- "Even youth will grow weary and stumble.
- 00:07:41.247 --> 00:07:43.516
- weary and stumble. But those who wait
- 00:07:43.583 --> 00:07:44.283
- But those who wait on the Lord..."
- 00:07:44.350 --> 00:07:46.953
- on the Lord..." I'm waiting on God right now.
- 00:07:47.019 --> 00:07:50.556
- I'm waiting on God right now. I'm waiting.
- 00:07:50.623 --> 00:07:51.224
- I'm waiting. Somebody say, "I'm waiting.
- 00:07:51.290 --> 00:07:52.391
- Somebody say, "I'm waiting. I'm waiting.
- 00:07:52.458 --> 00:07:53.292
- I'm waiting. I'm waiting."
- 00:07:53.359 --> 00:07:54.093
- I'm waiting." And I'm weary.
- 00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:54.961
- And I'm weary. And I'm not gonna lie to you.
- 00:07:55.027 --> 00:07:56.295
- And I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm weary.
- 00:07:56.362 --> 00:07:57.096
- I'm weary. I mean, this is getting old.
- 00:07:57.163 --> 00:07:58.865
- I mean, this is getting old. And some of y'all wanna
- 00:07:58.931 --> 00:07:59.599
- And some of y'all wanna cuss right now.
- 00:07:59.665 --> 00:08:00.166
- cuss right now. Don't do it in the chat.
- 00:08:00.233 --> 00:08:01.167
- Don't do it in the chat. They'll block you.
- 00:08:01.234 --> 00:08:02.001
- They'll block you. But even in your mind you're
- 00:08:02.068 --> 00:08:03.002
- But even in your mind you're like, "I'm sick of this.
- 00:08:03.069 --> 00:08:05.037
- like, "I'm sick of this. I am sick of this."
- 00:08:05.104 --> 00:08:07.807
- I am sick of this." I mean, that's not an "I am"
- 00:08:07.874 --> 00:08:09.175
- I mean, that's not an "I am" statement we read in the Bible,
- 00:08:09.242 --> 00:08:10.676
- statement we read in the Bible, but that's what you're saying
- 00:08:10.743 --> 00:08:11.544
- but that's what you're saying right now in your heart.
- 00:08:11.611 --> 00:08:12.411
- right now in your heart. "I'm --
- 00:08:12.478 --> 00:08:13.212
- "I'm -- I am..."
- 00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:13.880
- I am..." what?
- 00:08:13.946 --> 00:08:14.247
- what? "I am sick of this.
- 00:08:14.313 --> 00:08:15.781
- "I am sick of this. I am sick and tired.
- 00:08:15.848 --> 00:08:18.518
- I am sick and tired. I am tired of fighting battles."
- 00:08:18.584 --> 00:08:20.586
- I am tired of fighting battles." The thing about me --
- 00:08:20.653 --> 00:08:21.354
- The thing about me -- Some people say when they get
- 00:08:21.420 --> 00:08:22.288
- Some people say when they get tired, they start laughing.
- 00:08:22.355 --> 00:08:23.890
- tired, they start laughing. Not me.
- 00:08:23.956 --> 00:08:24.690
- Not me. When I get tired, I get mean.
- 00:08:24.757 --> 00:08:26.759
- When I get tired, I get mean. How many of you,
- 00:08:26.826 --> 00:08:27.527
- How many of you, when you get tired, --
- 00:08:27.593 --> 00:08:28.628
- when you get tired, -- That's why when you had to pull
- 00:08:28.694 --> 00:08:30.963
- That's why when you had to pull me out of the elevator
- 00:08:31.030 --> 00:08:32.031
- me out of the elevator in Australia and I was about
- 00:08:32.098 --> 00:08:33.799
- in Australia and I was about to fight that guy
- 00:08:33.866 --> 00:08:34.767
- to fight that guy after I preached...
- 00:08:34.834 --> 00:08:36.502
- after I preached... I mean, I had just finished
- 00:08:36.569 --> 00:08:37.670
- I mean, I had just finished giving the invitation too.
- 00:08:37.737 --> 00:08:39.438
- giving the invitation too. "If you're here today,
- 00:08:39.505 --> 00:08:41.841
- "If you're here today, the Lord says come."
- 00:08:41.908 --> 00:08:42.975
- the Lord says come." And that dude said something
- 00:08:43.042 --> 00:08:43.976
- And that dude said something sideways to me, and my uncle
- 00:08:44.043 --> 00:08:46.078
- sideways to me, and my uncle taught me to hit him with his --
- 00:08:46.145 --> 00:08:47.547
- taught me to hit him with his -- your elbow if you can
- 00:08:47.613 --> 00:08:48.347
- your elbow if you can get close enough."
- 00:08:48.414 --> 00:08:49.348
- get close enough." And I was cocking the elbow,
- 00:08:49.415 --> 00:08:50.416
- And I was cocking the elbow, and Chunks pulling me back.
- 00:08:50.483 --> 00:08:51.617
- and Chunks pulling me back. He said, "You been..."
- 00:08:51.684 --> 00:08:52.818
- He said, "You been..." I was jet lagged.
- 00:08:52.885 --> 00:08:53.953
- I was jet lagged. I had preached 23 times
- 00:08:54.020 --> 00:08:56.188
- I had preached 23 times in four days.
- 00:08:56.255 --> 00:08:57.790
- in four days. They were preaching me
- 00:08:57.857 --> 00:08:58.391
- They were preaching me to death at Hillsong Church.
- 00:08:58.457 --> 00:09:00.526
- to death at Hillsong Church. I'm preaching.
- 00:09:00.593 --> 00:09:01.060
- I'm preaching. I'm preaching, preaching,
- 00:09:01.127 --> 00:09:02.328
- I'm preaching, preaching, preaching, tired.
- 00:09:02.395 --> 00:09:03.095
- preaching, tired. And Chunks pulling me out.
- 00:09:03.162 --> 00:09:03.996
- And Chunks pulling me out. He said, "Come on.
- 00:09:04.063 --> 00:09:04.597
- He said, "Come on. You're too tired now."
- 00:09:04.664 --> 00:09:05.765
- You're too tired now." Because when you get too tried,
- 00:09:05.831 --> 00:09:07.533
- Because when you get too tried, you start fighting battles
- 00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:09.535
- you start fighting battles that don't matter to distract
- 00:09:09.602 --> 00:09:11.537
- that don't matter to distract you from the ones that do.
- 00:09:11.604 --> 00:09:14.774
- you from the ones that do. That's just me.
- 00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:15.975
- That's just me. I start fighting everybody.
- 00:09:16.042 --> 00:09:17.877
- I start fighting everybody. I start fighting people that
- 00:09:17.944 --> 00:09:19.011
- I start fighting people that are trying to help me
- 00:09:19.078 --> 00:09:20.046
- are trying to help me when I'm tired.
- 00:09:20.112 --> 00:09:21.847
- when I'm tired. So, Jesus said,
- 00:09:21.914 --> 00:09:22.582
- So, Jesus said, "Y'all go get lunch.
- 00:09:22.648 --> 00:09:23.583
- "Y'all go get lunch. I'm sitting here for a minute."
- 00:09:23.649 --> 00:09:26.118
- I'm sitting here for a minute." 'Cause the ones y'all have
- 00:09:26.185 --> 00:09:27.086
- 'Cause the ones y'all have been fighting against
- 00:09:27.153 --> 00:09:28.321
- been fighting against are the ones I came to save.
- 00:09:28.387 --> 00:09:32.124
- are the ones I came to save. He had to go through Samaria.
- 00:09:32.191 --> 00:09:34.226
- He had to go through Samaria. He had to sit down.
- 00:09:34.293 --> 00:09:36.128
- He had to sit down. There was a woman coming
- 00:09:36.195 --> 00:09:37.530
- There was a woman coming who needed Him.
- 00:09:37.597 --> 00:09:39.932
- who needed Him. She didn't even know it.
- 00:09:39.999 --> 00:09:41.968
- She didn't even know it. She had no idea who He was.
- 00:09:42.034 --> 00:09:44.437
- She had no idea who He was. He sat down
- 00:09:44.503 --> 00:09:46.505
- He sat down because He was tired.
- 00:09:46.572 --> 00:09:49.875
- because He was tired. I mean, you don't have to do
- 00:09:49.942 --> 00:09:50.743
- I mean, you don't have to do anything right now.
- 00:09:50.810 --> 00:09:51.844
- anything right now. Just sit down
- 00:09:51.911 --> 00:09:52.411
- Just sit down and receive this word,
- 00:09:52.478 --> 00:09:55.314
- and receive this word, that the Son of God got tired.
- 00:09:55.381 --> 00:09:58.951
- that the Son of God got tired. The Son of God got tired.
- 00:09:59.018 --> 00:10:01.654
- The Son of God got tired. I know you're Superman
- 00:10:01.721 --> 00:10:04.357
- I know you're Superman and you're mad at yourself
- 00:10:04.423 --> 00:10:05.458
- and you're mad at yourself 'cause you can't always
- 00:10:05.524 --> 00:10:06.125
- 'cause you can't always get it perfect.
- 00:10:06.192 --> 00:10:08.227
- get it perfect. Perfection got tired.
- 00:10:08.294 --> 00:10:14.300
- Perfection got tired. Faith doesn't prevent fatigue.
- 00:10:14.367 --> 00:10:19.872
- Faith doesn't prevent fatigue. It just gives me a place to sit.
- 00:10:19.939 --> 00:10:24.610
- It just gives me a place to sit. He sat by a well.
- 00:10:24.677 --> 00:10:26.879
- He sat by a well. Here's the important thing.
- 00:10:26.946 --> 00:10:29.081
- Here's the important thing. What well do you sit by
- 00:10:29.148 --> 00:10:31.283
- What well do you sit by when you're tired?
- 00:10:31.350 --> 00:10:35.388
- when you're tired? He said it was Jacob's well.
- 00:10:35.454 --> 00:10:37.823
- He said it was Jacob's well. You with me, son?
- 00:10:37.890 --> 00:10:38.891
- You with me, son? He said it was Jacob's well.
- 00:10:38.958 --> 00:10:40.726
- He said it was Jacob's well. Joseph was given that well
- 00:10:40.793 --> 00:10:43.863
- Joseph was given that well by Jacob.
- 00:10:43.929 --> 00:10:46.432
- by Jacob. A lot of what our kids learn
- 00:10:46.499 --> 00:10:48.567
- A lot of what our kids learn comes from us.
- 00:10:48.634 --> 00:10:50.102
- comes from us. It's generational.
- 00:10:50.169 --> 00:10:52.405
- It's generational. Jesus sat down by that well.
- 00:10:52.471 --> 00:10:54.173
- Jesus sat down by that well. I think that's so appropriate.
- 00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:56.275
- I think that's so appropriate. To say at this moment in our
- 00:10:56.342 --> 00:10:57.543
- To say at this moment in our nation, "What wells are you
- 00:10:57.610 --> 00:11:00.279
- nation, "What wells are you digging for your kids
- 00:11:00.346 --> 00:11:02.148
- digging for your kids to sit next to?"
- 00:11:02.214 --> 00:11:03.916
- to sit next to?" >> Congregation: wow.
- 00:11:03.983 --> 00:11:06.385
- >> Congregation: wow. >> A lot of what we're going
- 00:11:06.452 --> 00:11:07.787
- >> A lot of what we're going through today is because
- 00:11:07.853 --> 00:11:09.088
- through today is because of wells that were dug
- 00:11:09.155 --> 00:11:10.756
- of wells that were dug before we got here.
- 00:11:10.823 --> 00:11:14.660
- before we got here. Jesus sat by Jacob's well.
- 00:11:14.727 --> 00:11:19.065
- Jesus sat by Jacob's well. Wait on the Lord.
- 00:11:19.131 --> 00:11:21.701
- Wait on the Lord. Now we see the Lord
- 00:11:21.767 --> 00:11:23.402
- Now we see the Lord waiting on a woman.
- 00:11:23.469 --> 00:11:26.605
- waiting on a woman. So, I pictured this moment.
- 00:11:26.672 --> 00:11:28.974
- So, I pictured this moment. I pictured me and you.
- 00:11:29.041 --> 00:11:30.443
- I pictured me and you. You got your coffee
- 00:11:30.509 --> 00:11:31.944
- You got your coffee and you're like, "I've drinken
- 00:11:32.011 --> 00:11:33.579
- and you're like, "I've drinken all the caffeine I can,
- 00:11:33.646 --> 00:11:34.647
- all the caffeine I can, I'm still tired."
- 00:11:34.714 --> 00:11:36.282
- I'm still tired." And I know you can watch
- 00:11:36.348 --> 00:11:37.083
- And I know you can watch a Ted Talk about, you know,
- 00:11:37.149 --> 00:11:39.151
- a Ted Talk about, you know, when to go to bed,
- 00:11:39.218 --> 00:11:39.919
- when to go to bed, and when to wake up,
- 00:11:39.985 --> 00:11:40.586
- and when to wake up, and all that.
- 00:11:40.653 --> 00:11:41.220
- and all that. I'm not talking about that.
- 00:11:41.287 --> 00:11:42.321
- I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about tired inside.
- 00:11:42.388 --> 00:11:45.191
- I'm talking about tired inside. I'm a soul doctor.
- 00:11:45.257 --> 00:11:46.959
- I'm a soul doctor. I don't know anything about REM.
- 00:11:47.026 --> 00:11:49.261
- I don't know anything about REM. I don't know anything about
- 00:11:49.328 --> 00:11:50.429
- I don't know anything about ergo dynamic pillows.
- 00:11:50.496 --> 00:11:52.198
- ergo dynamic pillows. Did I say that right?
- 00:11:52.264 --> 00:11:53.132
- Did I say that right? I don't know anything about
- 00:11:53.199 --> 00:11:53.966
- I don't know anything about your mattress number.
- 00:11:54.033 --> 00:11:55.267
- your mattress number. That is not my speciality.
- 00:11:55.334 --> 00:11:56.836
- That is not my speciality. But I know that sometimes
- 00:11:56.902 --> 00:11:58.270
- But I know that sometimes you've got to sit down
- 00:11:58.337 --> 00:11:59.739
- you've got to sit down by a real well.
- 00:11:59.805 --> 00:12:01.741
- by a real well. And listen to me.
- 00:12:01.807 --> 00:12:02.842
- And listen to me. A lot of the places that
- 00:12:02.908 --> 00:12:03.976
- A lot of the places that we're sitting while
- 00:12:04.043 --> 00:12:04.910
- we're sitting while we're tired are only making
- 00:12:04.977 --> 00:12:06.512
- we're tired are only making us more dehydrated.
- 00:12:06.579 --> 00:12:08.447
- us more dehydrated. >> Congregation: Come on.
- 00:12:08.514 --> 00:12:11.917
- >> Congregation: Come on. >> A lot of the places that
- 00:12:11.984 --> 00:12:12.952
- >> A lot of the places that we're drinking from
- 00:12:13.018 --> 00:12:14.120
- we're drinking from are making us dumber,
- 00:12:14.186 --> 00:12:17.289
- are making us dumber, more fragmented, less whole,
- 00:12:17.356 --> 00:12:21.093
- more fragmented, less whole, less informed.
- 00:12:21.160 --> 00:12:22.895
- less informed. And this woman comes up.
- 00:12:22.962 --> 00:12:24.130
- And this woman comes up. Now picture it.
- 00:12:24.196 --> 00:12:25.164
- Now picture it. She comes up at noon
- 00:12:25.231 --> 00:12:26.999
- She comes up at noon because she's sneaking away
- 00:12:27.066 --> 00:12:28.701
- because she's sneaking away from all of the people who
- 00:12:28.768 --> 00:12:29.769
- from all of the people who talked about her.
- 00:12:29.835 --> 00:12:31.137
- talked about her. She is a woman with a past.
- 00:12:31.203 --> 00:12:33.572
- She is a woman with a past. And the last thing she wants
- 00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:34.840
- And the last thing she wants to see is a man.
- 00:12:34.907 --> 00:12:36.442
- to see is a man. Specifically a Jewish man.
- 00:12:36.509 --> 00:12:38.544
- Specifically a Jewish man. Specifically a Rabbi.
- 00:12:38.611 --> 00:12:40.579
- Specifically a Rabbi. And Jesus says,
- 00:12:40.646 --> 00:12:41.180
- And Jesus says, "Hey, can I get a drink?"
- 00:12:41.247 --> 00:12:43.349
- "Hey, can I get a drink?" This is not a pick-up line.
- 00:12:43.415 --> 00:12:46.786
- This is not a pick-up line. This is not a pick-up line.
- 00:12:46.852 --> 00:12:47.887
- This is not a pick-up line. This is not
- 00:12:47.953 --> 00:12:48.521
- This is not a surface-level question.
- 00:12:48.587 --> 00:12:49.955
- a surface-level question. This is Jesus asking this woman,
- 00:12:50.022 --> 00:12:52.792
- This is Jesus asking this woman, "Do you even know
- 00:12:52.858 --> 00:12:53.626
- "Do you even know what's in you?"
- 00:12:53.692 --> 00:12:54.760
- what's in you?" >> Congregation: Wow.
- 00:12:54.827 --> 00:12:55.895
- >> Congregation: Wow. >> I'ma stand up now.
- 00:12:55.961 --> 00:12:57.196
- >> I'ma stand up now. I'ma stand up now because I
- 00:12:57.263 --> 00:12:59.265
- I'ma stand up now because I hear God saying to someone
- 00:12:59.331 --> 00:13:00.966
- hear God saying to someone today, "You don't even know
- 00:13:01.033 --> 00:13:03.269
- today, "You don't even know what I put inside of you.
- 00:13:03.335 --> 00:13:05.371
- what I put inside of you. What I have put inside
- 00:13:05.437 --> 00:13:06.872
- What I have put inside of you is so great."
- 00:13:06.939 --> 00:13:08.941
- of you is so great." Now, if you only see things
- 00:13:09.008 --> 00:13:10.276
- Now, if you only see things on the surface, if you judge how
- 00:13:10.342 --> 00:13:12.244
- on the surface, if you judge how people judge, you will never
- 00:13:12.311 --> 00:13:13.712
- people judge, you will never see what's inside.
- 00:13:13.779 --> 00:13:15.381
- see what's inside. This was Jacob's well,
- 00:13:15.447 --> 00:13:17.283
- This was Jacob's well, but it was really just something
- 00:13:17.349 --> 00:13:18.784
- but it was really just something for Jesus to sit on.
- 00:13:18.851 --> 00:13:20.920
- for Jesus to sit on. When He sat on the well
- 00:13:20.986 --> 00:13:22.087
- When He sat on the well and asked the woman,
- 00:13:22.154 --> 00:13:23.055
- and asked the woman, "Can I get a drink,"
- 00:13:23.122 --> 00:13:24.089
- "Can I get a drink," He was not talking about H2O.
- 00:13:24.156 --> 00:13:27.760
- He was not talking about H2O. Don't you get it?
- 00:13:27.827 --> 00:13:28.961
- Don't you get it? It's never about what we
- 00:13:29.028 --> 00:13:30.496
- It's never about what we think it's about.
- 00:13:30.563 --> 00:13:32.431
- think it's about. It's always something deeper.
- 00:13:32.498 --> 00:13:35.234
- It's always something deeper. So, Jesus has showed up
- 00:13:35.301 --> 00:13:36.769
- So, Jesus has showed up in this woman's situation.
- 00:13:36.836 --> 00:13:38.737
- in this woman's situation. And I can't help but think
- 00:13:38.804 --> 00:13:39.705
- And I can't help but think it's for somebody today.
- 00:13:39.772 --> 00:13:41.307
- it's for somebody today. You have been at your wit's
- 00:13:41.373 --> 00:13:42.308
- You have been at your wit's end and you thought I was gonna
- 00:13:42.374 --> 00:13:43.676
- end and you thought I was gonna give you a little pep talk.
- 00:13:43.742 --> 00:13:45.177
- give you a little pep talk. And you thought I was gonna
- 00:13:45.244 --> 00:13:45.911
- And you thought I was gonna tell you, you know,
- 00:13:45.978 --> 00:13:46.712
- tell you, you know, "Get on with it, and trust God,
- 00:13:46.779 --> 00:13:49.215
- "Get on with it, and trust God, and move forward," and all
- 00:13:49.281 --> 00:13:50.616
- and move forward," and all these little cliches of faith.
- 00:13:50.683 --> 00:13:52.751
- these little cliches of faith. But I came to tell you sit
- 00:13:52.818 --> 00:13:54.453
- But I came to tell you sit with Him a little while.
- 00:13:54.520 --> 00:13:57.256
- with Him a little while. Sit with Him a little while.
- 00:13:57.323 --> 00:13:59.558
- Sit with Him a little while. Sit with Him a little while.
- 00:13:59.625 --> 00:14:01.260
- Sit with Him a little while. Sit with Him and see who
- 00:14:01.327 --> 00:14:03.229
- Sit with Him and see who you really are.
- 00:14:03.295 --> 00:14:04.597
- you really are. Sit with Him a little while.
- 00:14:04.663 --> 00:14:05.898
- Sit with Him a little while. I've been sitting --
- 00:14:05.965 --> 00:14:06.765
- I've been sitting -- I'm just gonna confess to you.
- 00:14:06.832 --> 00:14:08.067
- I'm just gonna confess to you. I've been sitting by the wrong
- 00:14:08.133 --> 00:14:09.268
- I've been sitting by the wrong wells a lot of the time.
- 00:14:09.335 --> 00:14:11.270
- wells a lot of the time. I've been depending on people
- 00:14:11.337 --> 00:14:12.972
- I've been depending on people to inform me about who I am.
- 00:14:13.038 --> 00:14:15.140
- to inform me about who I am. I've been depending on what
- 00:14:15.207 --> 00:14:16.342
- I've been depending on what I see with my eyes to tell
- 00:14:16.408 --> 00:14:17.977
- I see with my eyes to tell me how it is.
- 00:14:18.043 --> 00:14:19.545
- me how it is. But there is a well that
- 00:14:19.612 --> 00:14:20.980
- But there is a well that does not come from
- 00:14:21.046 --> 00:14:22.147
- does not come from an external source.
- 00:14:22.214 --> 00:14:23.849
- an external source. And you can't see the pipes.
- 00:14:23.916 --> 00:14:26.085
- And you can't see the pipes. There is, within you, a spirit
- 00:14:26.151 --> 00:14:28.621
- There is, within you, a spirit that is greater than whatever
- 00:14:28.687 --> 00:14:30.823
- that is greater than whatever is going on around you.
- 00:14:30.890 --> 00:14:33.459
- is going on around you. Greater is He that is in me.
- 00:14:33.525 --> 00:14:36.595
- Greater is He that is in me. I'm trying to shout sitting
- 00:14:36.662 --> 00:14:37.830
- I'm trying to shout sitting down so you can know.
- 00:14:37.897 --> 00:14:40.165
- down so you can know. He sat on the well so she
- 00:14:40.232 --> 00:14:42.201
- He sat on the well so she could see what was within her.
- 00:14:42.268 --> 00:14:46.171
- could see what was within her. And I believe God is revealing
- 00:14:46.238 --> 00:14:47.640
- And I believe God is revealing some things to us
- 00:14:47.706 --> 00:14:48.607
- some things to us in this season.
- 00:14:48.674 --> 00:14:50.209
- in this season. I believe God is revealing
- 00:14:50.276 --> 00:14:51.844
- I believe God is revealing to His church in this season
- 00:14:51.911 --> 00:14:54.046
- to His church in this season that He has made us for
- 00:14:54.113 --> 00:14:56.081
- that He has made us for a time when the world
- 00:14:56.148 --> 00:14:58.117
- a time when the world is so divided.
- 00:14:58.183 --> 00:14:59.418
- is so divided. When He had made us for a time
- 00:14:59.485 --> 00:15:01.620
- When He had made us for a time that the world is so apathetic.
- 00:15:01.687 --> 00:15:04.623
- that the world is so apathetic. And He sat by the well.
- 00:15:04.690 --> 00:15:07.126
- And He sat by the well. He sat by the well
- 00:15:07.192 --> 00:15:09.295
- He sat by the well to talk to a woman
- 00:15:09.361 --> 00:15:11.797
- to talk to a woman who had had five husbands
- 00:15:11.864 --> 00:15:14.967
- who had had five husbands and was living with number six
- 00:15:15.034 --> 00:15:18.270
- and was living with number six so she could know
- 00:15:18.337 --> 00:15:18.871
- so she could know He was number seven.
- 00:15:18.938 --> 00:15:33.118
- He was number seven. On the first day, God worked.
- 00:15:33.185 --> 00:15:34.486
- On the first day, God worked. On the second day, God worked.
- 00:15:34.553 --> 00:15:35.621
- On the second day, God worked. On the third day, God worked.
- 00:15:35.688 --> 00:15:36.956
- On the third day, God worked. On the fourth day, God worked.
- 00:15:37.022 --> 00:15:38.223
- On the fourth day, God worked. On the fifth day, God worked.
- 00:15:38.290 --> 00:15:39.658
- On the fifth day, God worked. On the sixth day, God worked.
- 00:15:39.725 --> 00:15:41.126
- On the sixth day, God worked. What'd He do on the seventh?
- 00:15:41.193 --> 00:15:42.528
- What'd He do on the seventh? >> Congregation: Rest.
- 00:15:42.594 --> 00:15:45.397
- >> Congregation: Rest. >> He sat down.
- 00:15:45.464 --> 00:15:47.599
- >> He sat down. Not because He needed rest,
- 00:15:47.666 --> 00:15:50.602
- Not because He needed rest, but because she did.
- 00:15:50.669 --> 00:15:54.873
- but because she did. And that's what I love about
- 00:15:54.940 --> 00:15:55.808
- And that's what I love about a God who will not only
- 00:15:55.874 --> 00:15:56.742
- a God who will not only fight for me,
- 00:15:56.809 --> 00:15:59.311
- fight for me, and walk with me,
- 00:15:59.378 --> 00:16:01.046
- and walk with me, and talk with me.
- 00:16:01.113 --> 00:16:04.316
- and talk with me. But God said to tell you
- 00:16:04.383 --> 00:16:05.184
- But God said to tell you this week He is the God who
- 00:16:05.250 --> 00:16:08.354
- this week He is the God who will come through 41 generations
- 00:16:08.420 --> 00:16:11.523
- will come through 41 generations and go through Samaria
- 00:16:11.590 --> 00:16:13.926
- and go through Samaria just to sit with you.
- 00:16:13.993 --> 00:16:19.932
- just to sit with you. Just to sit with you.
- 00:16:19.999 --> 00:16:22.501
- Just to sit with you. Sit with Him for a minute.
- 00:16:22.568 --> 00:16:25.537
- Sit with Him for a minute. He might show you something
- 00:16:25.604 --> 00:16:26.472
- He might show you something that is within you that
- 00:16:26.538 --> 00:16:27.773
- that is within you that nobody else noticed.
- 00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:30.309
- nobody else noticed. This woman had been passed
- 00:16:30.376 --> 00:16:31.510
- This woman had been passed around like the jar that she
- 00:16:31.577 --> 00:16:33.746
- around like the jar that she carried to the well that day.
- 00:16:33.812 --> 00:16:37.249
- carried to the well that day. She knew what it was
- 00:16:37.316 --> 00:16:38.117
- She knew what it was to feel used.
- 00:16:38.183 --> 00:16:41.754
- to feel used. Did He sit down at the well
- 00:16:41.820 --> 00:16:42.888
- Did He sit down at the well that day because He was
- 00:16:42.955 --> 00:16:43.989
- that day because He was tired or because she was?
- 00:16:44.056 --> 00:16:51.163
- tired or because she was? You tired of being
- 00:16:51.230 --> 00:16:52.831
- You tired of being used by people?
- 00:16:52.898 --> 00:16:53.799
- used by people? You tired of being
- 00:16:53.866 --> 00:16:54.299
- You tired of being manipulated by people?
- 00:16:54.366 --> 00:16:56.168
- manipulated by people? Sit with me.
- 00:16:56.235 --> 00:16:58.771
- Sit with me. 'Cause I'm not seated
- 00:16:58.837 --> 00:17:00.606
- 'Cause I'm not seated where you're seated.
- 00:17:00.672 --> 00:17:03.308
- where you're seated. When I sit with Him,
- 00:17:03.375 --> 00:17:06.111
- When I sit with Him, He has seated me with Him
- 00:17:06.178 --> 00:17:08.013
- He has seated me with Him in heavenly places far above
- 00:17:08.080 --> 00:17:10.749
- in heavenly places far above every ruler and principality.
- 00:17:10.816 --> 00:17:15.487
- every ruler and principality. You say, "I'm tired."
- 00:17:15.554 --> 00:17:16.355
- You say, "I'm tired." God said, "Me too.
- 00:17:16.422 --> 00:17:18.824
- God said, "Me too. I'm tired of seeing how
- 00:17:18.891 --> 00:17:21.794
- I'm tired of seeing how people treat one another too.
- 00:17:21.860 --> 00:17:23.328
- people treat one another too. I'm tired of the injustice too.
- 00:17:23.395 --> 00:17:24.630
- I'm tired of the injustice too. That's why I came in the form
- 00:17:24.696 --> 00:17:26.832
- That's why I came in the form of a man, so that I could be
- 00:17:26.899 --> 00:17:28.934
- of a man, so that I could be what man could never be.
- 00:17:29.001 --> 00:17:30.803
- what man could never be. I came to hang on a cross
- 00:17:30.869 --> 00:17:32.438
- I came to hang on a cross and say, 'It is finished'
- 00:17:32.504 --> 00:17:36.041
- and say, 'It is finished' so that you can rest."
- 00:17:36.108 --> 00:17:39.445
- so that you can rest." I know we got work to do.
- 00:17:39.511 --> 00:17:42.214
- I know we got work to do. But can we sit for a minute?
- 00:17:42.281 --> 00:17:45.117
- But can we sit for a minute? Can we just sit with Him
- 00:17:45.184 --> 00:17:46.251
- Can we just sit with Him for a minute by the well that
- 00:17:46.318 --> 00:17:49.188
- for a minute by the well that will never run dry?
- 00:17:49.254 --> 00:17:53.058
- will never run dry? Some of us passed E
- 00:17:53.125 --> 00:17:54.560
- Some of us passed E a long time ago.
- 00:17:54.626 --> 00:17:56.562
- a long time ago. The tank has been empty
- 00:17:56.628 --> 00:17:57.596
- The tank has been empty a long time.
- 00:17:57.663 --> 00:18:00.365
- a long time. So, God says, "I want you
- 00:18:00.432 --> 00:18:01.166
- So, God says, "I want you to sit with me."
- 00:18:01.233 --> 00:18:04.236
- to sit with me." When you sit with Me,
- 00:18:04.303 --> 00:18:06.271
- When you sit with Me, you will see with Me.
- 00:18:06.338 --> 00:18:09.141
- you will see with Me. When you sit with Me..."
- 00:18:09.208 --> 00:18:11.143
- When you sit with Me..." Who is this for?
- 00:18:11.210 --> 00:18:11.910
- Who is this for? Just raise your hand
- 00:18:11.977 --> 00:18:13.011
- Just raise your hand right now in the room.
- 00:18:13.078 --> 00:18:13.879
- right now in the room. Raise your hand in the chat.
- 00:18:13.946 --> 00:18:15.013
- Raise your hand in the chat. Say, "This is for me."
- 00:18:15.080 --> 00:18:16.281
- Say, "This is for me." I wanna sit with Him.
- 00:18:16.348 --> 00:18:20.886
- I wanna sit with Him. I wanna sit by the well
- 00:18:20.953 --> 00:18:23.489
- I wanna sit by the well that has living water.
- 00:18:23.555 --> 00:18:26.658
- that has living water. I wanna sit away from
- 00:18:26.725 --> 00:18:28.060
- I wanna sit away from the streams that are poisoned
- 00:18:28.127 --> 00:18:30.028
- the streams that are poisoned by the prejudice of men.
- 00:18:30.095 --> 00:18:31.463
- by the prejudice of men. I wanna sit with Him
- 00:18:31.530 --> 00:18:34.066
- I wanna sit with Him for a minute.
- 00:18:34.133 --> 00:18:36.368
- for a minute. And Jesus, tired as He was,
- 00:18:36.435 --> 00:18:41.206
- And Jesus, tired as He was, said to His disciples,
- 00:18:41.273 --> 00:18:43.709
- said to His disciples, "Y'all go get some food.
- 00:18:43.775 --> 00:18:46.278
- "Y'all go get some food. I've got to get a harvest."
- 00:18:46.345 --> 00:18:49.615
- I've got to get a harvest." I believe God sent me
- 00:18:49.681 --> 00:18:51.416
- I believe God sent me to preach this message
- 00:18:51.483 --> 00:18:52.417
- to preach this message to somebody today who is tired
- 00:18:52.484 --> 00:18:55.521
- to somebody today who is tired on the inside.
- 00:18:55.587 --> 00:18:57.523
- on the inside. And no amount of sleep,
- 00:18:57.589 --> 00:18:59.758
- And no amount of sleep, no amount of Netflix
- 00:18:59.825 --> 00:19:01.393
- no amount of Netflix and numbing it,
- 00:19:01.460 --> 00:19:04.296
- and numbing it, and no amount of pacing
- 00:19:04.363 --> 00:19:05.264
- and no amount of pacing the floors is gonna solve it.
- 00:19:05.330 --> 00:19:08.467
- the floors is gonna solve it. And I believe God brought
- 00:19:08.534 --> 00:19:09.301
- And I believe God brought you into His presence today
- 00:19:09.368 --> 00:19:10.836
- you into His presence today for a reason.
- 00:19:10.903 --> 00:19:12.905
- for a reason. And I think He woke me up
- 00:19:12.971 --> 00:19:13.872
- And I think He woke me up at 3:00 in the morning this
- 00:19:13.939 --> 00:19:15.908
- at 3:00 in the morning this night, the night before,
- 00:19:15.974 --> 00:19:17.376
- night, the night before, the night before, so that I
- 00:19:17.442 --> 00:19:19.645
- the night before, so that I could feel a little bit
- 00:19:19.711 --> 00:19:20.646
- could feel a little bit physically while I preach
- 00:19:20.712 --> 00:19:21.780
- physically while I preach this how you've been feeling
- 00:19:21.847 --> 00:19:23.248
- this how you've been feeling before we got here.
- 00:19:23.315 --> 00:19:25.851
- before we got here. How Jesus felt
- 00:19:25.918 --> 00:19:28.520
- How Jesus felt was how the woman felt.
- 00:19:28.587 --> 00:19:31.423
- was how the woman felt. Even youth will grow tired
- 00:19:31.490 --> 00:19:32.457
- Even youth will grow tired and weary, and young men
- 00:19:32.524 --> 00:19:33.292
- and weary, and young men will stumble and fall.
- 00:19:33.358 --> 00:19:34.726
- will stumble and fall. But they that wait
- 00:19:34.793 --> 00:19:36.094
- But they that wait on the Lord will
- 00:19:36.161 --> 00:19:37.429
- on the Lord will renew their strength.
- 00:19:37.496 --> 00:19:40.098
- renew their strength. God said, "Even if you don't
- 00:19:40.165 --> 00:19:40.999
- God said, "Even if you don't have the patience to wait
- 00:19:41.066 --> 00:19:42.668
- have the patience to wait for Me, I'm waiting for you."
- 00:19:42.734 --> 00:19:48.040
- for Me, I'm waiting for you." When you are tired,
- 00:19:48.106 --> 00:19:50.175
- When you are tired, you must be very careful that
- 00:19:50.242 --> 00:19:51.410
- you must be very careful that you do not become dehydrated.
- 00:19:51.476 --> 00:19:54.279
- you do not become dehydrated. You have got
- 00:19:54.346 --> 00:19:54.846
- You have got to drink this water.
- 00:19:54.913 --> 00:19:56.682
- to drink this water. You have got to drink this word.
- 00:19:56.748 --> 00:19:58.884
- You have got to drink this word. You have got
- 00:19:58.951 --> 00:19:59.351
- You have got to drink this worship.
- 00:19:59.418 --> 00:20:01.220
- to drink this worship. You have got to move away
- 00:20:01.286 --> 00:20:02.454
- You have got to move away from wells that will never
- 00:20:02.521 --> 00:20:03.889
- from wells that will never quench your thirst
- 00:20:03.956 --> 00:20:05.357
- quench your thirst and you have got to receive
- 00:20:05.424 --> 00:20:06.725
- and you have got to receive the water that flows from within
- 00:20:06.792 --> 00:20:09.394
- the water that flows from within in the beginning was the word,
- 00:20:09.461 --> 00:20:11.697
- in the beginning was the word, and the word was with God.
- 00:20:11.763 --> 00:20:13.498
- and the word was with God. And the reason that you came
- 00:20:13.565 --> 00:20:15.100
- And the reason that you came to church today is God
- 00:20:15.167 --> 00:20:16.969
- to church today is God wanted to give you water.
- 00:20:17.035 --> 00:20:19.204
- wanted to give you water. He knows you're tired.
- 00:20:19.271 --> 00:20:20.539
- He knows you're tired. He knows you're thirsty.
- 00:20:20.606 --> 00:20:22.407
- He knows you're thirsty. He hung on a cross and said,
- 00:20:22.474 --> 00:20:23.709
- He hung on a cross and said, "I thirst too."
- 00:20:23.775 --> 00:20:25.210
- "I thirst too." He stretched His arms
- 00:20:25.277 --> 00:20:26.411
- He stretched His arms this wide because He was
- 00:20:26.478 --> 00:20:28.280
- this wide because He was tired of it too."
- 00:20:28.347 --> 00:20:29.881
- tired of it too." And the man who was God
- 00:20:29.948 --> 00:20:31.516
- And the man who was God became man.
- 00:20:31.583 --> 00:20:32.718
- became man. And He who knew no sin
- 00:20:32.784 --> 00:20:34.152
- And He who knew no sin became sin that we might
- 00:20:34.219 --> 00:20:36.154
- became sin that we might become the righteousness of God.
- 00:20:36.221 --> 00:20:39.424
- become the righteousness of God. And He said to the woman,
- 00:20:39.491 --> 00:20:41.026
- And He said to the woman, and He said to me,
- 00:20:41.093 --> 00:20:42.227
- and He said to me, and He said to you,
- 00:20:42.294 --> 00:20:43.795
- and He said to you, "Come unto Me all you who
- 00:20:43.862 --> 00:20:45.831
- "Come unto Me all you who are weary and heavy laden
- 00:20:45.897 --> 00:20:48.066
- are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest.
- 00:20:48.133 --> 00:20:51.403
- and I will give you rest. I am the bread of life.
- 00:20:51.470 --> 00:20:53.272
- I am the bread of life. I am the resurrection.
- 00:20:53.338 --> 00:20:55.440
- I am the resurrection. I am the light.
- 00:20:55.507 --> 00:20:57.075
- I am the light. I am the shepherd.
- 00:20:57.142 --> 00:20:58.510
- I am the shepherd. I am the gate.
- 00:20:58.577 --> 00:20:59.878
- I am the gate. I am the way.
- 00:20:59.945 --> 00:21:01.413
- I am the way. I am the vine.
- 00:21:01.480 --> 00:21:03.081
- I am the vine. I am the seventh man.
- 00:21:03.148 --> 00:21:09.621
- I am the seventh man. I am the seventh man.
- 00:21:09.688 --> 00:21:12.157
- I am the seventh man. I am the well.
- 00:21:12.224 --> 00:21:13.392
- I am the well. I am within you.
- 00:21:13.458 --> 00:21:14.459
- I am within you. You will never get what you
- 00:21:14.526 --> 00:21:15.794
- You will never get what you need from out there.
- 00:21:15.861 --> 00:21:16.995
- need from out there. It's in here.
- 00:21:17.062 --> 00:21:17.896
- It's in here. It's in here.
- 00:21:17.963 --> 00:21:18.964
- It's in here. It's in here."
- 00:21:19.031 --> 00:21:20.766
- It's in here." I know.
- 00:21:20.832 --> 00:21:21.266
- I know. You're not in a church building.
- 00:21:21.333 --> 00:21:22.668
- You're not in a church building. There's no worship leader
- 00:21:22.734 --> 00:21:23.669
- There's no worship leader to tell you, "Lift your hands."
- 00:21:23.735 --> 00:21:24.970
- to tell you, "Lift your hands." Will you do it anyway?
- 00:21:25.037 --> 00:21:26.371
- Will you do it anyway? I know there's not a feeling
- 00:21:26.438 --> 00:21:27.639
- I know there's not a feeling telling you right now
- 00:21:27.706 --> 00:21:28.473
- telling you right now to have hope.
- 00:21:28.540 --> 00:21:29.441
- to have hope. Can you hope anyway?
- 00:21:29.508 --> 00:21:30.876
- Can you hope anyway? It is a well that springs
- 00:21:30.942 --> 00:21:32.878
- It is a well that springs up from within.
- 00:21:32.944 --> 00:21:34.446
- up from within. It is a well that men
- 00:21:34.513 --> 00:21:36.415
- It is a well that men did not dig.
- 00:21:36.481 --> 00:21:37.783
- did not dig. It is a well that does not
- 00:21:37.849 --> 00:21:39.718
- It is a well that does not consult external situations.
- 00:21:39.785 --> 00:21:42.721
- consult external situations. It is a well of the Holy Spirit.
- 00:21:42.788 --> 00:21:49.695
- It is a well of the Holy Spirit. And God said, "I came
- 00:21:49.761 --> 00:21:51.897
- And God said, "I came all this way to sit with you,
- 00:21:51.963 --> 00:21:57.669
- all this way to sit with you, to be with you."
- 00:21:57.736 --> 00:22:00.706
- to be with you." The proof of His power was not
- 00:22:00.772 --> 00:22:02.174
- The proof of His power was not just when He walked on water.
- 00:22:02.240 --> 00:22:05.377
- just when He walked on water. The proof of His power was when
- 00:22:05.444 --> 00:22:07.913
- The proof of His power was when He sat on a well.
- 00:22:07.979 --> 00:22:10.615
- He sat on a well. Did you hear me better
- 00:22:10.682 --> 00:22:11.650
- Did you hear me better online than they heard me
- 00:22:11.717 --> 00:22:12.818
- online than they heard me in this room?
- 00:22:12.884 --> 00:22:13.885
- in this room? Because if you got that,
- 00:22:13.952 --> 00:22:15.087
- Because if you got that, you got the whole message.
- 00:22:15.153 --> 00:22:16.555
- you got the whole message. He didn't just prove it
- 00:22:16.621 --> 00:22:17.923
- He didn't just prove it by walking on water,
- 00:22:17.989 --> 00:22:19.424
- by walking on water, which He did.
- 00:22:19.491 --> 00:22:21.326
- which He did. He proved it by sitting
- 00:22:21.393 --> 00:22:24.930
- He proved it by sitting on a well.
- 00:22:24.996 --> 00:22:27.099
- on a well. Sometimes He walks on water.
- 00:22:27.165 --> 00:22:29.735
- Sometimes He walks on water. Sometimes He is water.
- 00:22:29.801 --> 00:22:32.704
- Sometimes He is water. But I declare that the Lord
- 00:22:32.771 --> 00:22:33.605
- But I declare that the Lord is in this place.
- 00:22:33.672 --> 00:22:36.742
- is in this place. We started this service when
- 00:22:36.808 --> 00:22:38.543
- We started this service when I got up to preach saying,
- 00:22:38.610 --> 00:22:40.412
- I got up to preach saying, "The Lord is in this place."
- 00:22:40.479 --> 00:22:43.081
- "The Lord is in this place." And not for a minute
- 00:22:43.148 --> 00:22:43.915
- And not for a minute was I forsaken.
- 00:22:43.982 --> 00:22:46.385
- was I forsaken. And you came into this
- 00:22:46.451 --> 00:22:47.285
- And you came into this service today saying,
- 00:22:47.352 --> 00:22:49.020
- service today saying, "I'm tired inside."
- 00:22:49.087 --> 00:22:51.723
- "I'm tired inside." I said, "I know.
- 00:22:51.790 --> 00:22:54.159
- I said, "I know. It's alright to be tired.
- 00:22:54.226 --> 00:22:58.230
- It's alright to be tired. But why don't you go ahead
- 00:22:58.296 --> 00:22:59.064
- But why don't you go ahead and leave that jar that you
- 00:22:59.131 --> 00:23:01.032
- and leave that jar that you brought behind?
- 00:23:01.099 --> 00:23:03.435
- brought behind? That jar that represents
- 00:23:03.502 --> 00:23:04.403
- That jar that represents what you've been carrying
- 00:23:04.469 --> 00:23:05.437
- what you've been carrying that you weren't meant
- 00:23:05.504 --> 00:23:06.138
- that you weren't meant to carry alone and receive,
- 00:23:06.204 --> 00:23:08.573
- to carry alone and receive, right now, what only
- 00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:11.076
- right now, what only I can reveal.
- 00:23:11.143 --> 00:23:13.645
- I can reveal. Father, You gave me this word,
- 00:23:13.712 --> 00:23:15.781
- Father, You gave me this word, I believe, for Your people.
- 00:23:15.847 --> 00:23:18.350
- I believe, for Your people. I didn't think of this.
- 00:23:18.417 --> 00:23:20.819
- I didn't think of this. I didn't study this in a book.
- 00:23:20.886 --> 00:23:23.822
- I didn't study this in a book. You spoke to me and told me
- 00:23:23.889 --> 00:23:24.856
- You spoke to me and told me to go to John 4:6.
- 00:23:24.923 --> 00:23:27.092
- to go to John 4:6. And I said, "What to tell
- 00:23:27.159 --> 00:23:28.093
- And I said, "What to tell the people when they're so
- 00:23:28.160 --> 00:23:29.661
- the people when they're so tired, and they're right
- 00:23:29.728 --> 00:23:30.729
- tired, and they're right to be tired, and they're tired,
- 00:23:30.796 --> 00:23:32.964
- to be tired, and they're tired, and they're tired of being
- 00:23:33.031 --> 00:23:33.799
- and they're tired of being tired, and they're tired
- 00:23:33.865 --> 00:23:34.733
- tired, and they're tired of things not changing?"
- 00:23:34.800 --> 00:23:36.034
- of things not changing?" And you told me to tell them,
- 00:23:36.101 --> 00:23:37.502
- And you told me to tell them, "I got tired too
- 00:23:37.569 --> 00:23:41.006
- "I got tired too and You are seated with me
- 00:23:41.072 --> 00:23:43.575
- and You are seated with me in heavenly places."
- 00:23:43.642 --> 00:23:46.244
- in heavenly places." So now, Lord, we need
- 00:23:46.311 --> 00:23:48.480
- So now, Lord, we need the water of worship.
- 00:23:48.547 --> 00:23:50.315
- the water of worship. We've received the water
- 00:23:50.382 --> 00:23:51.016
- We've received the water of Your word today.
- 00:23:51.082 --> 00:23:52.884
- of Your word today. "In the beginning was the word,
- 00:23:52.951 --> 00:23:53.618
- "In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God,
- 00:23:53.685 --> 00:23:54.352
- and the word was with God, and the word was God."
- 00:23:54.419 --> 00:23:55.120
- and the word was God." We receive Your word today.
- 00:23:55.187 --> 00:23:56.054
- We receive Your word today. Now make it flesh in our lives
- 00:23:56.121 --> 00:23:58.657
- Now make it flesh in our lives as we worship You.
- 00:23:58.723 --> 00:24:00.625
- >> We are so thankful
- 00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:02.894
- >> We are so thankful that you joined us today.
- 00:24:02.961 --> 00:24:04.396
- that you joined us today. One of my favorite things
- 00:24:04.463 --> 00:24:05.597
- One of my favorite things about these sermons is how
- 00:24:05.664 --> 00:24:07.265
- about these sermons is how I can take the word
- 00:24:07.332 --> 00:24:08.967
- I can take the word and apply it immediately.
- 00:24:09.034 --> 00:24:11.336
- and apply it immediately. There are always connections
- 00:24:11.403 --> 00:24:12.704
- There are always connections that I can make and ways
- 00:24:12.771 --> 00:24:14.206
- that I can make and ways that I can practically
- 00:24:14.272 --> 00:24:15.941
- that I can practically process these teachings.
- 00:24:16.007 --> 00:24:18.009
- process these teachings. I could easily listen
- 00:24:18.076 --> 00:24:19.644
- I could easily listen and then walk away and really
- 00:24:19.711 --> 00:24:21.546
- and then walk away and really not do anything with it.
- 00:24:21.613 --> 00:24:22.848
- not do anything with it. But when I really do sit down
- 00:24:22.914 --> 00:24:24.816
- But when I really do sit down and apply this to my life,
- 00:24:24.883 --> 00:24:26.651
- and apply this to my life, I begin to feel a shift
- 00:24:26.718 --> 00:24:28.520
- I begin to feel a shift in my spirit.
- 00:24:28.587 --> 00:24:29.521
- in my spirit. >> Yeah, and you see changes
- 00:24:29.588 --> 00:24:30.522
- >> Yeah, and you see changes in your life when you accept
- 00:24:30.589 --> 00:24:31.923
- in your life when you accept and embrace the challenge.
- 00:24:31.990 --> 00:24:33.592
- and embrace the challenge. So, today if you felt
- 00:24:33.658 --> 00:24:34.559
- So, today if you felt challenged or encouraged,
- 00:24:34.626 --> 00:24:36.461

- are feeling like life is just one giant setback right now.
- 00:25:27.779 --> 00:25:29.681
- one giant setback right now. God said to tell you that He's
- 00:25:29.748 --> 00:25:31.883
- God said to tell you that He's the God of a plot twist.
- 00:25:31.950 --> 00:25:34.686
- the God of a plot twist. The reason that some of us
- 00:25:34.753 --> 00:25:36.254
- The reason that some of us have been so stressed out
- 00:25:36.321 --> 00:25:38.456
- have been so stressed out is because we don't know
- 00:25:38.523 --> 00:25:39.658
- is because we don't know why God put us here.
- 00:25:39.724 --> 00:25:41.693
- why God put us here. We have been so busy chasing

- We have been so busy chasing after things like
- 00:25:43.495 --> 00:25:44.596
- after things like popularity, status.
- 00:25:44.663 --> 00:25:46.765
- popularity, status. But Jesus withdrew to a lonely
- 00:25:46.831 --> 00:25:48.733
- But Jesus withdrew to a lonely place so He could be reminded
- 00:25:48.800 --> 00:25:50.969
- place so He could be reminded of His assignment.
- 00:25:51.036 --> 00:25:52.070
