Set Loose For His Use - Bro Caleb Roadcap 3-29-2026

Take the punishment. Amen, he would pay the price and

take the punishment. I'm so thankful for that. Give honor

to my past here tonight.

I do it.

Admire his knowledge and his understanding of the scripture. Just

feasting the preaching. I'd much rather have heard hurt him.

And obviously we prefer our brethren here tonight, But so

thankful for this opportunity, Amen, Mark chapter eleven. Be looking

at verses one through three here tonight. And when they

came now a Jerusalem under Phage and Bethany at the

Mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,

and saith under them, go your way into the village

over against you, and as soon as you be entered

into it, ye shall find a cult tide where on

never a man sap lose him and bring him. And

if any man saying to you, why do ye this,

say ye that the Lord hath need of him, and

straightway he will send him hither.

If you'll stretch your hands tonight and pray.

With us, Lord, thank you so much God for your presence, Lord,

and your help.

God that has been available already this service. God.

Thank you so much, Lord for the opportunity to be

in your house God, such great grace and great mercy. Lord,

would you help us in the remainder of this service?

Meet with us in these aunts, God, for that's no

matters God helpless. I'd be with us God, and one

he help us God, Lord, to say, Lord.

Only would you have us to say, God, Jesus, if the.

Lord would help us tonight, I'd like to preach on

set loose for his use, Amen, set loose for his use.

This thought came to me, I guess maybe about a

week or so ago. And I as I began Pastor

asked us to preach, I begin to pray, Lord, what

where should we.

Go with this? And the the Lord reminded me there

of of this portion.

As we are here upon Sunday, what a what a

wonderful day it was, and as we prepare for the

Easter weekend and all that that entails.

Amen.

There's three characters though that as I begin to read

over these three verses, there was three characters or three

that that really stood out to me. The first would

be later on those bystanders right that if any man

meet you in the way, the bystanders potentially the owner.

If that, if that's what it was so them, right,

the cult and the disciples, and I'd like to appreach

to us on those three people here tonight set loose

for his use.

Amen.

So Amen, we're all familiar with Palm Sunday what it

tells in the story of it. But just for some background,

Jesus and his disciples, they're heading to Jerusalem for the Passover.

But you know, Jesus had already made the Pharisees very angry,

and his disciples knew what Mark said. I think in

the chapter previous it said that they were on their

way to Jerusalem and that the disciples were both amazed

and afraid because they knew Jesus had been hitting around

as some things right, and they knew what was gonna

befall him.

And of course they were his followers.

They knew that they would they would face some of

that persecution as well.

Jesus had already told him that. Amen.

So as they come near the city, Jesus said, he

stops and he sends two disciples Amen, to fetch a

cult so that a prophecy would be fulfilled. It wasn't

just just because he wanted to. It wasn't just something

he was like, Oh, you know, my feet are tired,

Go bring me something to bring it.

No, there was a specific reason.

And then so that's that I believe it was Zachariat's

prophecy would be fulfilled.

Amen.

So Christ orchestrated it so that three willing creatures could

be a part of this moment.

Amen.

And truly he didn't have to include any of them.

He didn't have to send the two disciples. He didn't

have to get a cult that need a permission from

somebody else.

Amen.

He's the creator, right, he didn't and God doesn't have

to use any of us.

It's by his mercy.

So we know that they go, they do what all

as Jesus says, and they come back and the disc

I believe it's the disciples. They put the coats on it,

and Jesus begins to ride in, and then the crowd,

the people, you know, they get work up and they

begin to put out their coats and the palm branches

there in the pathway for Jesus' injury.

And we know that as the triumphal entry. Amen.

So now as well, we'll be gonna look at this.

So there was many mixed emotions, right. There was the

crowd you have your those cheering, right, you have people crying.

I'm sure they believe, Hey, this this is our ho

this is Hosannah. He's come the way that they thought

he had, came right to release them from the oppression

of Rome.

Amen.

But Jesus came right for something so much more than that.

So many people they just see the right, I'm gonna

come to the altar and I'm gonna be delivered of

this so that this doesn't plague me anymore.

But it's so much more than just that.

Well, when you realize that that eternity, right, it's so

much more than just.

Your immediate fix or your immediate health. Right. Amen, Loujah, helujah.

Jesus came to do so much more.

He came that prophecy would be fulfilled and to offer

himself up as the sacrifice Amen, for all in mankind

to recon to reconcile them with their creator.

Amen. God.

Around this time, you know, I really I think about

this a lot. He could have started over. We've heard

that so many times. He could have started for scratch,

who are we? God would love us so much.

That he was in his son. Amen. I'm so thankful

for that. Tonight going on here?

Amen, Mark Chapter four, Chapter eleven again, sorry, verse number four.

We read down a few verses.

And they went their way and found the colt tied

by the door without in a place where two ways met,

and they loose him. And certain of them that stood

there said, unto them, what do you loosing the colt?

And they said, unto them, even as Jesus had, even

as Jesus had commanded, and they let them go.

Amen. So again I may have over looked at but

I don't.

Know that scripture explicitly says that this bystander or these bystanders,

if they were an owner or what have you.

But I believe that it could be likely. Amen.

But the point I want to make here tonight is

that it matters that they they chose to stand by,

and they allowed Christ's will to be carried out.

Without any interference. Amen.

How many times have people they've considered giving their life

to the Lord, they've considered selling out, but others have said, hey,

I'm not sure about that, or hey, it doesn't take

exactly that, or hey, maybe that I'm not so sure

that Jesus is the way and selling out is the way.

Amen.

How many people, we're familiar with this that they would say, Hey,

I need to go somewhere, I need to move to

a specific location, or I feel like God is prompting

me to for a change in my ministry. And people

get in their ear and they they begin to interfere,

and they say, no, Jesus, that's my coat, No Jesus,

no disciples that that this is from, this is from

our neighborhood, this is from our church. No.

Amen.

And ultimately they're interfering with what Jesus would have done.

Amen.

How many times do people begin to establish some convictions

in their life and they begin to lay aside some

of those weights that would beset them, and they have

people come up that, for whatever reason, they just despise

God's word and they despise the truth Amen, And they

just want to cheap grace and they say, you don't

have to live it that tight. Those people are just

running interference with what God is.

Trying to do. Amen.

It matters that we not interfere with God's will for

someone else.

Amen.

Oh, that we would have some more willing Hannahs of

the Old Testament.

Who would willingly, willingly give her son for God's service.

That we would have more men with the faith of

Abraham now, no matter what it looked like, right God, Amen,

that they would be willing to sacrifice their son.

Amen.

Can I encourage somebody that the Bethel bystanders, they'll be

here to cheer you on as you obey God. They'll

be here to get in with you as you obey God.

Amen. But it's the world, the bystanders of the world. Amen.

If we're not careful, you'll let them distract you. Amen.

So moving on, we have the colt itself. The cult

had to be willing. Amen.

Christ wasn't looking for a mule, a stubborn mule that

wouldn't budge. God can't use something that's not willing to move.

God can't use something that's not willing to be pipable.

Amen.

God can't use something that won't Let that let Christ

get on its back and say, hey, we need to

go this way.

Amen.

It's important to pull this out right here. The a

cult is young, right. It doesn't matter how old you are.

It doesn't matter how young you are. God can and

he will use anybody if you will allow him.

Amen.

This colt it says it had never been rowed Amen.

You don't need a four years, eight year, ten year

seminary degree.

Amen.

You don't need years of experience testifying in a service

for you to go out, Amen, and to tell somebody

that you encounter that Jesus loves them. You don't have

to have Amen. You don't have to wait until later

on in your life. Amen, to carry Jesus with you.

This was a young call that had never been written

for with no experience.

Amen. But he let he carried Jesus. He carried Hope

himself through those city gates. Amen. And we carry the

good news with us every day. Amen. Amen. Amen. The coat.

The only thing that was holding him back was he

just needed to be set loose. Brother Samuel preached it.

He preached it already, the lowly Jesus on a lowly donkey.

And I love that Amen.

It truly it was a lowly creature. But it carried

Jesus all the way through, Amen. And it brought him

into the into the city, and it it brought him

onto the where the world Amen, that had been separated

from God would be reunited with him.

Amen.

So my question you tonight, if you picture yourself as

the code, it will you be set loose?

Have you been set loose? Amen? And if so, if

you've been set free, are.

You letting God use you the way that He is

wanting to and desiring to use you?

Amen? Amen.

There's a man right in the Bible. We only know

him as Legion. We don't know his right name, his

real name.

Amen. But he allowed Jesus to set him free. And

then he went and he.

Told hall Alujah. He went and he told Amen, So

what keeps you tied up? What is it that would

keep us tied up? The other service?

You a pastor? Talk to us about our phones? What

the phone?

They so many, so many things that people used to

have to go to so many they would go to

different places for different things. It can all be accessed

on one device. Now that's just the way that things

are going, right, Amen. Is it a is it a

toxic relationship that is keeping you tied and keeping you

held back from from going forward and doing everything that

God would have you to do.

Amen, to be used by God, to be set loose? Amen? Amen.

God knows, right, you know, God knows. And if God

were to show our pastor, I know he would preach

and he would reach.

Because he wants to see you used by God. But

are you willing to be set loose?

Are you willing to be used by God whatever it

may look like.

Amen, hallelujah.

As I thought about the passover Jesus and this side

was there going up to pass over? Right, we think

about Israel and how they cried out to God for

deliverance from Egypt. And I truly love how Pastor brought

out and brought to our understanding the difference between and

the response with the Egyptian exodus and that of Babylon. Right,

but there was a percentage of people here now they're

basically the captivity of Rome, if you would, And there's

a percentage of people who they wanted to be loose

from the grip of Rome only for selfish reasons. Right,

It's not because they wanted to serve God and keep

the law.

Fully.

I'm sure there were some who did. I'm sure there

were some who that was that, you know, they wanted that,

they desired that. But this was issral, same old cycle.

They would find themselves capture. And it's just time after

time with all the judges, with Egypt, with Babon, they'd

find themselves in those situations, and they cry out to

God they would do fine, and then they would right,

they would go back to doing their own thing. But

Christ came Amen for a greater purpose than man's selfish motives.

Amen.

So finally Jesus sent his due disciples the last example

here tonight, and he gave them specific instructions. And I

know Roman's eight right. It tells us that God can everything.

God can work everything for the good of those that

love him, those are called to court, and he can

work it all for the good.

Right.

But the modern church they like to use, has a

blanket to get Jesus to Jerusalem their way.

Amen.

The Jesus gave his disciples specific instructions, and it had

to be done just right so that the prophecies would

be fulfilled because he was the propheesi'ed Messiah.

But we can't do it our way. It has to

be done the Bible way.

It has to be done God's way, Amen, or it's

not gonna work.

Amen. Amen, Brother Jesse.

If you'd come up with us, come up tonight, will

you be a willing disciple?

Amen?

What Jesus told them to do in our day and age,

it seems strange. It seems peculiar. It kind of seems

out of the ordinary. If you would put it in

our and kind of our modern view, if you would,

the Lord would tell his disciple, Hey, go up to

the factory that car that's just been assembled, it's never

been used, Go hop in and just drive off with it.

That seems strange to us. That doesn't seem reasonable.

It doesn't. It's it's Lord, why would I do that? Right?

He that you have to be willing. He'll set you

loose for his use. Amen. You have to be willing.

And as we all stand here tonight, there's a young person,

a new convert, a brother, a sister, whoever it may be,

whom the Son makes free, he's free. Indeed, how are

you using your liberty? If God has set you free already,

how are you? How are you using your liberty?

Amen?

There's been many baby dedications lately, as people have allowed

their children to be giving back to God and they've

asked God to use their children. Amen. Amen, would you

come tonight and ask God to use us he sees fit?

Would you carry Jesus friend? It's the best thing that

you could ever do.

Amen. God bless you Church.

I love you.
