Silver and gold have I none

It's great to see you, we planted a church and watch

River. One of the Salvation that came

from that church. And what river was you it's

amazing to have you there people from nelspruit here today.

It's just wonderful to have you, my friend.

Kevin from Kettle is here, it's been an amazing amazing week.

Absolutely amazing week. You know, you know, we gave up

our tithes and offerings for MTM or a letter at the end of March

and the beginning of April, we gave them up there this week.

We Received the biggest individual gift in the history

of this church. God is doing an amazing thing.

I don't know who you are, so thank you.

I don't know who anybody who gives money because it would

stop me being offensive. And I would, I would hate to

know you put a lot of money in and then I upset you I would

rather just upset you. So, as my friend Andre said he

said, Rory, you like a home-cooked meal, that's what

happens. I can also go on the road and

give you my best sermon. Actually, you can't actually

have prawns for starters. Lamb shank with hot gravy and

pumpkin with cinnamon on an in mulva pudding and Liquors at the

end. You can't have that every week

you get sick and it feels like we've had that a just this

unbelievable high level of the best preaching.

I tell you some of the best preaching.

I don't agree with all of it, but it's good for us.

I mean, you know, the five-point calvinist, Tim Keller, let more

people to Jesus in the last decade than anybody else, you

know, he Doesn't even believe in the gifts of the holy spirit.

He just believes in Calvinism, you know, and the sovereignty of

God and so God uses all kinds of people and I think it's good for

us to have these people. I tell you rubber, Eva says our

next door, neighbors. When we move to Pretoria said,

we saw them on the side of a field yesterday and she said,

there is no way that a man can humanly preach like that.

I mean, he's so full of God, he didn't open his Bible and he

must have quoted foot. T Bible verses.

He's 70 years old, he's getting more powerful.

Tom, I talked to him and it's good for us, it's it exposes us

to stuff in it and it deal we Protestants.

Remember we're not Catholics we Protestants.

That means we protest and so even I don't have to be right.

I'm not trying to be right, I just want us to protest and then

we go back and we read the Bible and we protest through the

scriptures and we protest at one another.

And that's the way we find the truth and I think these men have

been unbelievable gifts to us over this time Greg Robb.

And right, Bevin, I mean some of the stuff he said, I I've never

heard in my life before I was absolutely golf set.

But today macaroni and cheese China.

Macaroni and cheese with Spa sweet corn warmed up in a

microwave. Will it be good for you?

It might be a bit tasteless but hey, men make you strong.

You can't eat Sunday lunch on The Veranda.

Every time you got to come into the house and eat cottage pie.

Amen. And so we are looking at x we

looking at God can do anything. And literally we've seen that in

the last while we've seen amazing things taking place and

I want to tell you about the danger of 3ci and this seeming

success that we are enjoying right now.

This is not the measure of success.

This is a warning sign of great Danger This is a beautiful

building filled with beautiful people who are highly qualified.

You are extremely generous and our profile is Raising every

day. But that is not the measurement

of a church. The measurement of a church is

only one, there's only one measurement and a church.

Are they becoming like Jesus? Other becoming like Jesus is the

pastor becoming like Jesus, or is he being used all over the

country to preach that fancy events?

Or is he becoming like Jesus? Is it becoming more patient?

Is it becoming more kind? Is it becoming more generous?

Does he stop? And talk with me who's important

in the growing Church, who gets the positions and the growing

says, who gets the profile in the growing church and I'm

deeply concerned that as our profile in ink and influence

increases that we might be losing the plot immediately

according to the book of Acts. Amen.

And so our measurement is never numbers.

That's why we don't Brandeis, I went on to the three.

See our website in the very First week that I was in 3ci

which was 10 years ago. I've never ever been back on our

website ever again. People say what's the website

like as I've got no idea who runs it.

I don't know what's in there. I've got no idea why I wrote it

because I don't actually care. But Rory, it's good to have a

brand, and it's good tea. Amen.

I'd much rather get you saved and send you into the

marketplace and when people look at the way that you treat your

wife and speak to you on the telephone and conduct your

Affairs, that you would actually think, how do we do you go to

church and come here, celebratory, people listen to us

on not, I can't minister to a guy who lives in touch,

Jackie's, stunned or akane. First on as Rob says, I can only

minister to you. I can set it, clipped, anyone

and unrest is there, and picked her sitting there.

And I can only Minister there and I can give a thumbs up to

the guy on the stage. That's actually how the church

works. It's not about increased

influence all the time. Jesus only influence 12 people.

Amen. And so the measurement of what

this successful needs to be taken into account, Yeah, so we

have this thing, throw money at the problem will go away.

Peter said, Silver and Gold Have I None.

So the solution is not money. So, let's read Acts chapter 3.

Acts 3 · chapter mention

One day Peter and John were going up to the temple.

It's quite good when you fisherman actually give up

fishing on Sundays and come to church.

Thank you for being here. As I said, I've got no choice.

I had to be here, I'll get paid. One day, Peter and John and

Rory. We're going up to the church at

the time of pray at 3:00 in the afternoon.

Now, I'm man crippled from birth was being carried to the Temple,

Gate called beautiful. You know what?

I even crippled outs are quite clever if I was in trouble, I

would just go to any town in how thing and I'll go and stand

outside. The end here church is that

means not clever like that because every eventually

somebody's going to give me money.

I mean, surely. You think they do fail, a couple

of the business management. You never find them at the back

end. You don't find them in writing

at the back end robots. You find them at Midland main

but Now man crippled from birth was being carried to the Temple,

Gate called Beautiful. We use put every day, say every

day to beg from those, going into the temple courts, a every

day. How many times did Jesus walked

past him? Every day, every day, Jesus

walked past him. How do we look after people?

Who do we look after only the people, God tells us to look

after our fix people's teeth. That's what I do.

It's my, it's my side down, hassle.

I love it, I meet Baristas. I mean, people in restaurants, I

meet waitresses wear their teeth knocked out by their husbands

and I'll fix their teeth. When people walk up to me and

say, please, will you fix my teeth?

I just feel the faith drain out of me complete, but I heard you

the teeth. God said, now I'm not the teeth,

goddamn the Jesus, God, it just walks, and when I see a person

in his, your teeth, fixed of it, so friends don't actually come,

don't come to the church. The institutional Church don't

come to the past is the institutional pastors and say

will you him, Jesus didn't do that, he just walked.

And then he empowered Israeli and undress and Kevin and

Dennis. You know, friends, we met, we

met a couple having coffee this week, roots and Tanya.

I don't know if your Tanya's here but let's pray for its

lift. It lift our hands.

He had a big operation this week Roots.

Push off heavenly father. I pray now in the name of Jesus

that you would touch roots and his wife, and his two daughters

that you will completely healed. His colon Lord, God has his in

hospital right now, I pray for your power and for your grace

and for your favor and for your love to come upon that man in

Jesus name, amen. I've never met him before we

having coffee next to him. We got talking.

They said or you like Rory that Rory guy said, yes.

I'm That Kind of raw Rica and this is my wife Melanie a city

in your church. I said are you all right?

He said no, actually I'm not a rat.

I'm going for a major cancer operation.

And immediately my what my wife's gift is food.

She is the king of the home-cooked meal.

Nice. He is he's the king of the

home-cooked meal and immediately says I'll bring the operations

and she's I'll bring you suffer on Tuesday night we don't know

them, I'll bring you sup on Tuesday night, they don't know

this but you know you got to have a good Indian couple in

every Church. There are saying if you smoke a

carry and I'm saying it's not all about Brew voice boys.

Some other things there that come from other Posey, God

speaks to him and says she finds.

This is I feel like God, so I must bring you a meal, they

arrived at our house with the meal, she leaves to go deliver a

meal to somebody else, and I come to do the new members

course. That's how the book of Acts

Works where's Mel, why is he not at the new members cause she's

doing what God called you to do? He's giving a meal, what are you

doing? And I'm also bringing a meal and

and then and that's and slowly but surely.

And the biggest settings. Hey, Jesus.

What about me? Three years.

Jesus walked past him. Never gave him the time of day.

So, who do you bless at the robots?

the ones that got tells you to bless but by the end of it, you

will realize you the cripple and God bless you.

Peter look straight at him. As the John.

Then Peter said, look at us so the man gave them his attention

expecting to get something from them.

Then Peter said, silver or gold, I do not have.

But what I have I give you I went to the foot track of

monuments two weeks ago. So quite an amazing place to

understand culture, and to understand the war, both the

English, and with the Zulus, and it's an amazing amazing place to

understands Afrikaans Heritage and why the Afrikaans people

love the Bible so much? It's an amazing.

It's moving. I don't know when you lost 20

but go, whether you want to or black go.

But this is the picture that is in the center.

Of the new display downstairs in the foot tracker.

Monument that picture is in the center.

Last week, I went down to my farm and took a photograph.

That's my farm. And God sent me to Pretoria.

To love Afrikaans people. You freaking Luxor.

Trespassing years ago. Ha ha ha.

Hey, if Ripa didn't ask my permission, and not God came and

told me to teach you about Grace, So when you've trespassed

you can learn about Grace, I tell you when I saw that

photograph, I just started to weep.

I thought God they moved up here and then you move me up here so

that we can speak about you. Silver and Gold, Have I None.

Afrikaners. But that which I have from 54

years old, I grew up in the Free State.

I went to Durban, I've studied the Bible for 30 years that

which I have given unto thee. Give I unto thee.

I'm not Rob Rufus. I'm not Ray Bevin.

I'm not Greg Hazel. But that, which I have.

Give I unto thee. In the name of Jesus, Christ of

Nazareth, walk. Taking him by the right hand, he

helped them up and instantly the man's feet and ankles became

strong. He jumped to his feet and he

began to walk. Then he went with them into the

temple, courts, walking and jumping, and praising God.

When all the people saw him walking and praising God, they

recognized him as a same man who used to sit begging at the

Temple, Gate called beautiful, and they were filled with wonder

and amazement at what had happened.

And and US. English God, from Sunday,

school, walking, and leaping and praising, God, walking and

leaping and praising God in the name of Okay, you're free calls,

guys. Won't understand it.

But let's English guys, go. He went walking and leaping and

praising walking and leaping and praising God In The Name of

Jesus. Christ of Nazareth.

Rise up and walk. Well, as my friend itchy and

thank you very much 18 for drawing attention.

I told you you should never ever challenge a man with the

microphone. You said to me last week that

Pastor can sing much better than me.

So thank you again. And as I'm about to do your

daughter's wedding, I hope it cost you a lot of money.

Robin, I just want to say publicly go for it.

My girl, go for it. I can't sing.

But your dad's a great surgeon. Punish him.

Friends. It goes like this here.

On the left is a magnificent multi multi multi-billion dollar

building called the temple, which is outlaid and overlaid

with gold. And with all sorts of fine

material there. And over here is a cripple And

God is looking in heaven and saying, I'm going to build my

church and my spirit is going to inhabit, a body that is going to

be called my church. And he says, I'm finished with

that. I'm going to that.

And you crippled sexually emotionally, physically,

financially become the church. When the spirit of God starts to

fill me. And I start to walk and jump and

leap. When the holy spirit's because

Jesus has left the building Jesus left the temple.

The story friends is not so that we go back to the building, it's

not something we go back to the temple.

It's not so that we glorify This Magnificent edifice.

This is just a fancy way of keeping rain, or fuss.

He says, I have a lot of money to keep rain off as yes, it is.

But I'm in God's good and he built the temple and the

Tabernacle in the new Jerusalem's going to see might

as well build a good church because the Bible says man looks

at the outside but God looks at the heart man still looks at the

outside. So when you look at these

things, this is really awesome friends but this is not the

church. You are the church.

This is the church. This is the church.

That is the church. You and Herman.

When the spirit of God, you see friends, what happened in the

Old Testament, you are not allowed to offer defective

animals and defective priests were not allowed to go into the

temple. So what that did is they took

people with every kind of other disability and they're excluded

them from the temple. And God said I'm going to come

and I'm going to fill. I am going to fill people that

in your eyes look like they are disqualified.

I'm going to come and fill them and I'm going to tell you that.

That's the temple, not the building.

You can say, hallelujah, you can say hallelujah.

Because friends, we go all over the place on Sunday.

Say I must go to church, I must go to church, you are the

church, you are the church, you are the church, and when we all

leave this beautiful building and we gon sit around the dam.

Having a picnic. That is the church.

Jesus is not yet. His spirit is not.

His spirit is only here because you are here, sexily, crippled,

emotionally crippled, 21 Chrome has owned And the spirit of God

fills you and you start to take meals to people have got cancer

and then you Indian folks, sit around the table.

And all they ever talk about is how to bless people and then

they take a meal and somebody else takes a meal and slowly but

surely people start to get healed.

It says he helped him up, his ankles became strong, his feet

became strong, he started to dance.

And at end of it says he became completely whole.

He became Completely whole. Who are you?

Rory, I'm just a cripple filled with the presence of God.

Filled with the presence of God worshiping with other crippled,

people filled with the presence of God.

When I said in their play last night said you would not have

known this. But when I saw those children

and these unbelievable, singers combining to sing The Lord's

Prayer over Pretoria in the, at the brief theater.

Silver and Gold Have I. None Pretoria Silver and Gold

Have. I None Afrikaans people, Silver

and Gold Have. I None but that which I have

That, which I have. Give I unto thee.

I have a revelation of the father Sandra.

I have a revelation that you are God's daughter.

I have a revelation that he is my dad.

I have a revelation that this country is tough.

I have a revelation that apart 8 took father's away from their

homes and stuck them into homelands.

I have a revelation that the greatest need of this nation

friends is not finances. The greatest need of this nation

is to understand what God the father is like And we have got

many people orphans abandoned children.

Homes filled with people. Have got no dad.

What have you got? Rory, silver and gold.

I have not got, but that which I have.

I've got a revelation zelly stood up last night.

He said, I want to thank our heavenly father and when she

said, I just started to weep I want to thank our heavenly

father. That is not forgotten South

Africa. He has not forgotten the 20

million children that were born in home.

England's, who have born without a father, that 20 million

children that were born in mines to prostitutes?

He has not forgotten them. Who is the answer?

This crippled man. Filled with the spirit of God,

going into rid of put and saying, I want to tell you,

there is a father in Heaven who is greater than ramaphosa.

He has greater than the ANC He is greater than all the other

things that people say we need to pray friends, we don't need a

stronger church. We just need every one of you to

understand that you are a priest filled with the power of God.

We don't have to blow this thing up, onto social media, and then

we're going to plant another church and manages all the

three. See our brand is growing we

having influence. The only inference I want with

the government is our to pray that the spirit of God fills

ramaphosa and one day he'll phone and say will you come and

speak to Parliament? About the greatest problem and

I'll say to them. Silver and gold is enough to

answer you cooks anyway. You robbing it of US, silver and

gold is not the answer. The answer is Jesus Christ came

and he chose he chose. He said I'm not going to live in

a building, you can't stick me on what's that road within

churches. Develop our, you can't confine

me to develop boa and you can't stick me in 56, Soul Street.

Who do you think you are? You can't put me in a building.

If I've got a choice story between being a building and 56

saw Street or being in a group of Club, 21 kids, I will choose

them any day. And when you realize friend,

when you realize that, you two are just a beggar on the side of

a road that Jesus wants to fill you two will start walking and

leaping and praising. God. and my fight, my ongoing

wrestle is that this is pretty. You know, when the church

becomes rich, say a really, how did you give seven and a half

million? I didn't even know, we gave it

away. We haven't had a finance meeting

in this church for six years. You said that's irresponsible.

No, that's biblical. You guys are Chartered

Accountants. You you paid and steady to do

budgeting and buying and selling.

We didn't, we got told to give it away.

You said, but that's irresponsible will seem to you

doing, all right? It's called sowing and reaping.

I've had accountants, run our books.

They're a pain in the neck. Seriously, they're a pain in the

neck because I keep telling me but the budget I said, but this

is not a budget. This is a father and he's a

farmer. And I did, the calculation of

the thing we've given away 600,000 in a month for the last

year, I had absolutely no idea is that Rory, I'm not in charge

of the finances, no, Elders in charge of the finances and any

two guys can make a decision as long as it's communicated, why?

Because I'm a control freak. And if I don't do the now,

control it in the moment, I control it.

The spirit of God will just leave Yeah.

Silver and Gold Have I None, but that which I have given unto

thee. I have a revelation of the

father. I have a revelation of credited

righteousness. What does that mean?

Rory, there are people sitting here you're crippled by your

past. You're absolutely crippled by

your past. And you think I must jump

through hoops. I must go to church.

I must go through the new members class at threesome, I

stopped swearing and smoking because you can smoke as much as

you like, you just going to die earlier.

Will vaping is better. Let's see.

He's going to go up in a cloud. Hey, the great cloud of

witnesses. All the vapors together.

How's your vaping going season? It's not say I love the stone

people guide their church and there's some people can always

guided. We got to find a garden because

they got a hard, the Stumpy And then always come from this side

and they see me and they're not quite sure.

Hey Pastor, hey Stumpy. I don't know how it goes with

it. gosh, I have a revelation of the credited righteousness of

God, Silver and Gold Have I None, but that, which I have

given unto thee Denzil. The credited righteousness of

God is enough to deal with all of your sin.

All of your past, all of your shame, all of your crippled -

and when you understand that, you realize that you and million

dollars of debt. And the credited righteousness

of God is billions of dollars and instantly he saves you.

And you start to draw on the credited, righteousness of God

and you start to live a Victorious Life.

He doesn't want to keep selling. He wants you to live free.

You want you to live whole, but you you live whole, you become

whole, but a drawing on the credited righteousness of God,

not by putting a brick through your computer.

So you can stop pornography your porno addict.

Stick a brick through your computer, no drawn, the credited

righteousness of God. And until your ankles become

strong, and then your your knees, get a bit stronger and

then you start walking and then you started running I saw those

kids last night, some of them can't even walk and so they had

somebody to come and pick them up and walk them around.

I thought Silver and Gold Have I None but that which I have give

I unto thee. Just pick people up and walk

with them. Do you know this?

Some of you can come and go and it's likely that your hair is

really wonderful to have you, but you like, visitors me, you

come, and you tell her food and you leave That's true.

I have a friend who committed adultery.

He was a pastor of a church. He committed adultery and One of

my mates. Real over lead the church and

merits, fix it to him. He said I can offer you nothing,

Silver and Gold, Have I None. I can't give you any money and I

can't give you any time but I can give you a healthy

community. And all I ask is that you come

to the prayer meeting, you join a homegroup and you listen to

the Sunday Services. That's all I ask and he said you

will get healed you and your family.

And he said the pasta was true to his word, he never gave him a

Cent and he never gave him a minute.

But he gave him a healthy church.

I've been doing this for 35 years now, I believe more now in

the life of the local church than I ever have in my life and

when you walk with a local church left, right?

And then Hubble leopard Hubble Hubble will eventually start to

walk your crippling, this gets healed and your relationships

get healed and you learn how to forgive and you learn how to

say, sorry. And then you start to serve.

You think what what, what am I saving is good for you to serve?

You see doctors behind the machines and you see lawyers

behind the machines and they highly qualified but they have

humbled themselves and they serving people and when we serve

we start to understand the reason why we exist.

We don't exist friends to look successful.

We exist to represent Christ. Silver and Gold Have I None, but

that which I have given unto thee.

I'll tell you about my beautiful wife of 30 years.

We haven't had a perfect marriage, but you've got a

beautiful marriage. I've learned so much, can you

imagine living with me? Can you imagine?

And the guy who built the houses in this church and he built this

massive bedroom and you got a lounge.

And then every night we have a cup of tea together and we took

about our children and we talked about the church and there's the

lgbtqia+ that's going on and people are confused as I'm

reading a book that goes back to the 1960s in the Supreme Court.

When they started to take on gender ISM in the Supreme Court

in America, in 1960, we are dealing with a 65-year legal

problem. Now, friends around gender.

Under that is in its embedded in the American culture.

And now people are coming in and say, what do you believe in?

I believe in marriage one, man, married to one woman.

And if you divorced, if you walk with us, we will heal you and if

you've been rejected will heal you, and if you've been abused

will heal you, I don't have all the answers, but I do know the

father. I do know, credited,

righteousness. I love the local church.

I adore this woman. She's much stronger than you

think. She choose me properly.

We were talking about heaven, the other day, but late 11:00 at

night. Not a good time to talk about

heaven. I said, hey babe, do you think

you'll be my mate in heaven? She says, I think I'll be

consumed with Jesus. So I said, what do you like say

hello to me or how is it? This is not enough.

We need to discuss this further but I think Jesus.

So I said, well, then flip good night.

I spent 30 years working with a father, I've studied the

scriptures at length to realize that it's grace and grace alone,

and thank God for Rob Rufus. And for a Bevin eleven.

Twelve thirteen, fourteen, seven million and 52, and 53 and 54.

I believe it is by the grace of God Alone.

Through Christ Alone in scripture alone.

With the other bunch of cripples together.

Sometimes we will be carried. Sometimes we'll stop.

But that, which I have. That's which I have my

friendship with Clinton with Steven and with Pete.

And which I have a Pete. The first Afrikaans man, that

loved me unconditionally. Nana, I'm being dead serious.

This is the first man. That loved me unconditionally.

When I came here, he just loved me.

He put his arms around me. He said I will love you and I

will look after your family him and his wife.

We're about to do his son's wedding.

That, which I have that, which I have that, that, which I have my

friendships. Give I unto thee.

Given to the and I pray that which you have given to us and

given to the person next to you that, which I have give I unto

thee. In the name of Jesus, Christ of

Nazareth, walk. This guy.

Who wonderfully every single Sunday.

Puts this wheelchair together this guy.

Said, I can't lead a home group. But I'll tell you what I can fix

generators. So our generator in this church,

we used to be, we got one from China, it never broke.

I chew in a lord Jesus. You are so kind, you look after

our generator, and then one Sunday or Saturday, Eugene comes

a finds this. I could spend his imparts, his

you are you some member of your church?

What do you do? This is, I can't do much, but I

can fix generators. So for five years, he imported

parts from China service, that generator.

Anything. So great is the spirit of God

live when which one of these people everyone.

Everyone. Amen, you love this church.

Absolutely. We love having in this church.

This church is built for people like you and him.

And me. Silver and Gold, Have I None.

But that, which I have. Give I unto thee.

I can take you a meal. I can fix a generator.

Yes, buddy. I can put on a play for Club 21.

Amen.
