OBO | Pastor Paul McGee

Welcome to the first episode Church podcast.

Our church mission is to love as God loves showing compassion

Every Soul, thus, winning those souls and equipping them to be

sent out to plant and to harvest.

Thank you for joining us today, and we hope that you are blessed

by today's podcast. Second Samuel 15 and I would

like to begin reading with verse number 19 this evening.

The Bible says then said the king to it tie, the get tight,

wherefore goest thou also with us.

This is David speaking to him, return to thy place and abide

with the King for thou art, The Stranger also in Exile.

Whereas thou camest. But yesterday.

You die this day, make the go up and down with us.

See, and I go with her. I may return thou take back.

Thy Brethren mercy and Truth. Be with me in Italian to the

king and said as the Lord liveth and as my Lord, the King live is

surely in what place? My Lord.

The king shall be with her in death, or life.

Even there. Also.

Will thy servant? David said to it, I go and pass

over the tide to get tight passed over and all his men and

all the little ones that were with him.

Amen. Tonight.

I want to administer. My subject matter is three,

letters the letters. Oh Bo.

And hopefully the little tag in many signs, helps explain what

that is. OB o you ever seen that and add

statement of a price and then That be given anybody tell me

what that is or best? That OBO is mine.

Oboe. I don't know why you would say

but that's my subject matter for the little little bit here

tonight. Let's pray.

That God would help us this evening.

Father God, I come to you this evening.

Zion thankful Lord God that we can have Lord created within our

hearts and with in our lives, God that desire Lord to live for

disperse God In This Place. God, I thank you.

And I praise you for it. The lovely name of Jesus Christ.

Amen. And amen.

The church say, amen. Amen, shake a hand or two, if

you will, before you see it. This past Thursday night.

I took the kids out to Shopko. While my wife was at ladies

meeting and my main objective was to get anniversary card.

For my wife. However, since this wasn't the

first trip that me and the kids had ever taken the Shopko.

They were a little gung-ho about the possibility of maybe looking

around. Particularly, maybe in a certain

section. Of the store called toys.

And so in preparations for leaving that night, coach were

being put on shoes were found and placed on their feet.

What some seem like the 10th time that has already happened

that day. And in addition, as they were

getting ready, nice getting ready.

And I could hear the little talk, go back and forth between

the kids. I could hear Mariah coaxing

Trevor to join any spare change that he had.

With hers, because they're going to Shopko.

We arrived at the store and as you would probably leave, my

first priority is to go and I told them this, I said the first

thing we're going to do is go to the cards.

I said because I need to get a car for your mom and our

anniversary. And so first priority, we found

ourselves there as soon as you walk into the store and the card

section and we browsed there till we found the appropriate

perfect card for my dear wife. And then it was shortly

thereafter. We made our trip back to the toy

section and the Scene began. And I knew as only a father can

know that probably compiled in the funds that they would have

and Mariah's back back or that little thing that she brought

with change that, that would be very minimal.

Probably what they had because see what they got out of there

is what they took from us. So, I knew that they were

dealing with a minimal amount of funds in order to, to spend, if

you will at Shopko in the toy section.

So with the wisdom of the father that I have, I directed them to

these plastic bins, the 12 dollar, three dollar toys that

were in Shopko and they started going through there.

And there were certain things that seem to be pleasing to

them. And boy, that's cool.

Look at that all. They've seen him gazillion

times, you know, really enamored with all of these, you know,

toys and so they're looking in there and they're searching

around and their hands are lingering and they're kind of

holding on to some things. And and so, as they find

interest in these certain things, one or two things.

I had an afterthought brother Mason.

I might need to count how much money they really brought.

Because interest or being peaked in that things are staying in

hands. And so I am, right.

Let me look in your bag and I looked in her bag and I begin to

count out the money here and there and I finally got to a

tally of a grand total summation between murmur Ian Trevor of

about 87 or 88 cents. Now, my priority was a card, it

wasn't them getting a toy. And so to their disappointment,

I informed them under. This is me.

Now. I informed them while they have

these two little Goods or whatever.

It is in their hand. I am formed them.

You do not have enough money. For even one of those items that

you've got in your hand and immediately brother Mason.

I am dealing with the sorry of spaces that you've ever seen in

your life bummed out kids. The thought they were going home

with a toy. They were crestfallen.

They were disappointed. Amen.

Passivity Now, set in where they were rambunctious passivity.

I'm trying to drag them to the next aisle.

You know shoes are just dragging on the floor.

The shoulders are just bent over a man.

I'm trying to coax him just to another place.

Just to look you understand that all of that's been deflated and

then out of nowhere a bright idea happen, and it was not

mine. All of a sudden as

matter-of-factly if you will as possible.

Mariah suggest that I asked, if the store would take less money

for those items. And she was serious.

And I was thinking sister Maggie.

She has been on too many trips with her mom to the Goodwill and

to the yard sales. And I said sis that may work at

the Goodwill and that might work at a yard sale, but that's not

going to work here. Now.

I didn't know that for his matter of fact, but I was pretty

convinced that what's not going to work at Shopko.

See in her mind her Mind's Eye. She thought, man, we got a

margin of Leverage here that we can deal with.

I mean, that's, that's not their lowest price.

We can deal with this and I see my mind, you know, well,

Goodwill and yard sale on all these other places men.

Those places have a stigma for that type of thing, you know,

they have a character for having, you know, a little

margin of adjustment or little margin the flux that's in there,

you know, any price. It's on the People's debatable.

If my wife's, there. It is.

Every price, any labels. They God, it's debatable because

they're interested in selling something or maybe they're

interested in getting rid interested in getting rid of

something more so than they are valuing what they have.

Valuing what they have if you will a non-negotiable price for

a profit. See the moment just just, just

walk with me here, just for a moment.

The moment someone publishes an ad for an item at a hundred

dollars and they Place those three letters ob0 after it.

They have opened the door for negotiation.

They've opened the door for negotiation and perhaps have

already forfeited. Their hundred dollar sell price.

Because unless they're dealing with me, I just feel bad, you

know, something in Nickel, Dime people, you know, that's 10

cents. Would you take a nickel for

that? I can't do that.

It's already a dime. I mean, what more do you want

them to pay you for taking it? Not yet.

My wife will do it every day the week and I'm hiding over in the

bush somewhere. I just can't, you know, you

that's a double you take a nickel for that.

I mean, Kim, can you take three and a half pennies?

Let me get out my water wire cutters and what could it?

And I just don't have feelings to be able to do that.

But but, you know, if it's $100 $100 to me, that's what they

said. But some people, whenever you

put that 0, B 0 at the end, that means, Some negotiation room.

That means that you're not necessarily sold on that mount,

you may take perhaps a little bit less and for that matter.

And this this kind of goes contrary to the thought pattern.

I don't believe there's anybody that has a right to complain

about if they'll take less for an item, if they've included or

best offer. Maybe just doesn't seem to

figure saying $100 or bid offer and they're saying, would you

take 95? Well, don't get mad at him, you

know, don't get mad at them for asking 95 if you said or best

offer. Amen, but from the realm of the

natural to the spiritual. All right, we've had a laughs

the realm of the natural to the spiritual in many instances.

We've set ourselves up. Hit our whoop, dog.

We set herself up as the church for multiple tax because we've

disclaimed are allegiances to God to the church, our

commitments to God, our commitments to the church with

an old bo at the end of them. Will be showed out to Value it

and prize it. But the moment, something a

little better. A better offer a new opera on

the table comes by, then. We're willing to let go.

So what we called our commitment, what we called our

Allegiance because in our eyes something better has come along

the way for that matter. The enemy of our show is always

trying to find and believes that everybody.

Has a sell-out price. The devil snuck convinced that

you're committed, when you say you're committed.

He's not convinced that. You have your Allegiance,

totally to God. When you say, you're totally

given to the Lord. He believes that everybody has a

sellout price and he is on a trip.

He is on a journey trying to find our sell-out price.

Someone say, Amen. That was the story of job.

That was the story that whenever the sons of God came to Either

Before the Throne Room of God, that Satan also came among them

and it was in that interchange that God asked, Satan Satan.

What are you doing? He said, well, I'm going to and

fro in the earth. And God says, what have you

considered my servant job? He's a bright man.

He's a perfect man and Satan says will rightfully, so yeah,

everything's fine with him right now, but why wouldn't it be?

You have a Hedge around about Job, everything's hunky-dory, so

to speak because you have lines of protection around about job.

And so Satan starts plugging away.

Let's see if I can find job, sell out price.

He says you you allow me to touch everything that he

possesses and everything that he has and he's going to curse you

to his face. God says fine.

And well, you can take everything touch, whatever.

He has just, don't touch his life.

Don't take his life belongs. To me, you know, the story.

He meant job. Amen.

Suffers the loss of livestock suffers the loss, the loss of

possessions, and goods and family.

And the Bible says, in all of this job did not sin, nor charge

God, wrongfully. What's Job saying?

He said, when I said I'm committed, I'm committed.

There is no old bo at the end of this price tag.

Shaykh says, that's all right job.

I can find you again the sons of God come before, the Throne of

God, and Satan also comes among them.

And again, the Lord asks, where have you bloody been to?

And say now? I've been to and fro again in

the earth. He says, have you considered my

servant job? Yeah, but I already try to make

a deal with him and he didn't take me up on the offer.

He said, but I tell you what, if you'll take your hand.

Migos skin to skin flesh, the flesh bone to bone.

He's gonna curse it. He's gonna he's gonna turn his

back upon. You not said, rightfully.

So I'll remove my hand from there.

I'll let down the Hedge. You can touch his health.

Touch his skin touches bone touch.

His flesh and the Bible says, boils Came Upon the body of

chode. He scraped them in the dust, but

we still see him not charging God.

We still not see him selling how because job was convinced.

When I make a commitment, when I give an allegiance, and it's God

and it's God, that's involved. There is no better offer than

what I already retained. Somebody hear me today because

there have been a multitude too many illustrations and examples

that we don't have time to talk about.

A people that said, they were committed a people that said

they were sold out to God, but somewhere in there, walk in the

relationship and OB or a better offer.

To their minds intellect, a better offer to the sweeping

motion of the heart, came down the line and they sold out a

man. They sold out that which has no

measure of value or worth in this world to the world.

Someone came in, not going to hear anything new tonight, but

you'll hear something old. Amen.

I've often used, I've often used a men in my life, maybe because

maybe that, was me whenever I was a little younger, but I've

often used brother did. The priest when an older kid was

trying to take advantage of a younger one.

You know, the type of individual I'm talking about trying to

trade. The young kid three dollars or

three quarters for a dollar. Hey Brother.

The priest has probably been that person.

Hey buddy. Looky here.

You just got one dollar. I've got 3/4. 3/4 for my $1?

Yeah. Well, yeah, I'll trade.

Let's do it. Why?

Because his children, the emphasis is placed upon quality

more than that, value. Early, in their education.

I can count. One, two, three, four, five.

I can count 906 is higher than 5 quantity, is there in their mind

more so than value? Let me tell you, I think

sometimes the same system has entered into the world of the

church. Hey, man, and there's some

unhealthy trades that are going on because you're dealing People

that don't understand value. They don't understand what they

got. You know the people that's going

around looking for antiques and going to all the yard sales

looking for the deal. They're trying to find something

underpriced. The trying to find something

that's a deal. In other words.

It's more valuable than that, but they're selling it for Less.

Why are they doing that? They don't understand that.

Al you, they don't understand what they got.

That's right. But reason why these people are

going around there said that those little sessions and

they're starting to find out how much is this worth and they're

finding in their attics, but they are millionaires because of

the Antiques and heirlooms that have been given to them, but

they never knew it because they didn't understand the value of

it. I'm here to tell this church

tonight. You need to understand the value

of what you possess. Don't undersell it for that

better, buy the truth and sell it.

Not, it's too valuable. There's not a better.

Offer to what you've already got.

There is no better offer. Hallelujah, hallelujah.

It was that that chronic misunderstanding value.

That brought a nation of Israel. Out from under a theocracy.

A god rule out from, under a theocracy of God, rule to be

placed under a monarchy of the first king Shaw.

Yes. Other nations around them had a

king, but you can't improve on God.

I'll go break a chain. You can't improve on God.

You can't improve on his message.

You can Improve on this truth. There's not a better.

You got the best. There is.

So we entered in, we enter a time of the Kings a time that is

perhaps a little better than most concerning the kings that

God has stationed in 2nd Samuel, 15, A King by the name of David

who was attributed as a man. That was after God's Own Heart

serving. In that capacity.

David has a son, many sons, but one in particular, I wish to

talk about David. A son by the name of absolon.

The story of Absalom up to this point of time.

If I may highlight it very briefly is that Absalom has

already killed. His half-brother emlyn because a

man took advantage of his sister Tamar have seems already killed

his half-brother as a result of that.

He has escaped to the land of guests.

Sure. He has the WEP there already for

three years. Not being allowed to return

home, not being beckoned harassed, even to come home.

Finally. He is allowed that hand and

invitation is given for him to come back home to Jerusalem, but

for two years, he remains at Jerusalem without ever being

beckoned to the throne room of the king, which happened to be

his dad for two years. He's, they're prohibited from

seeing and experiencing the presence.

Of the king yet. Finally, we come up on the time

frame when he has just recently received the allowance.

He meant to get access back to his father, access back to the

king and so Absalom. Now, he's been gone.

He meant outside of that realm. If you will, although back in

Jerusalem for two years. He's really been separated from

it for about five years. Five years, not in the king's

presence then have access to the king.

Probably had to stay a good distance.

If you will from certain places, just didn't want him around, but

now he's back in cahoots. If you will, he can Meander

among the gates of the city here and there and the Bible tells,

the story of Absalom that Absalom would go down to the

gate of the city and he would stand there.

And as the people of Israel would come to the king with

Reverse C and their life controversy with another

brother, a controversy with another sister, some problem in

their life and they were taking it to the King has, they were

approached him the city where the king resided, there was

Absalom at The City Gate and Absalom would call to them.

Say, hey, why don't you come over here for a little moment?

What's going on? Well, we got a controversy, let

some problems between us and so, and so and see.

What happens? Anytime you got controversy in

your life? What you need to try to get an

answer for at least? What we as humans?

Try to get an answer for it's in my right or wrong in my stand in

the controversy. Right.

I'm not saying always but just preach with me for a little bit,

a lot of times. We're going to defend our place

of being, right. Whether we are not.

If I do not write it, so I asked them.

Here's the controversy don't know if they're right or wrong.

And the Bible says, according to Absalom.

He was telling them. He said your matters are good.

Your matters are right. Well, honey, that appeals to

somebody. That's right.

In the middle of controversy. Whenever you're telling them,

you can feel Justified, the feel the way you do.

You're right. You doing good.

This matter is. Okay.

And so that appeal to the heart of the people.

If I could go a little step further, Absalom is telling

these people that's part of the kingdom of David.

You honey. You're not being heard like you

need to be heard. You're not being hurt.

Like you need to her. You're not getting Justice Done

For This controversy, you know, him what?

You just turn the other cheek or just make amends for something

that you feel like someone else has done wrong.

He's expecting too much from you.

What's going on? I tell you what's going on.

David's. Own son has become an enemy of

his kingdom and an enemy of his kingship and Tapping.

He standing outside the perimeter of the Kingdom, people

that are disgruntled and people that are upset and he's starting

to find try to find their bargaining price.

He said, you, you've honored and declared David to be your king

and he's the renowned one and he's the great one and when it

restarts tell him, hey, you know what?

You are writing your matter. You're not being heard.

You're not getting Justice. There's just too much expected

of you. You know what he's doing.

He seeing if he can find a0, b0 in their story.

The Bible says the Absalom did this.

He practiced. Is almost on a daily thing.

People had pledged their allegiance to the king, given

their shoulder to the king given their time talent and ability to

the king. Now.

The enemy is there. It happened to be a son, but the

enemy is there. They said I want to know if I'd

offer you something else. Would you take it?

If I'd offer you something else, would you get on it?

And the Bible says that Absalom stole the hearts of the People

by doing this. In other words, he scratched

them where they were itching. You might be flat from today and

say you don't have or best offer, but like controversy

under your life. Let controversy in real life.

Let's it, let you just listen to me.

Let you get upset over something.

That was preached. And see if I go Bo doesn't get

in your claws. Let There Be disgruntled Spirits

among the congregation. Let's not watch.

If of a sudden, we're nothing's for sale.

I'm contemplating some negotiation here.

Story of scripture and I'll move on.

It's not my intention to belabor any points here tonight.

The portion of scripture is now absolon, has went to Hebron.

He's had a van to people that's come.

He set all this up and where we get the Hebron.

You make declaration that all King Absalom that I am King and

it will be rallied about all throughout the people.

And so Absalom was self appointed him as king.

He had a good support. He'd been mingling with the

people he'd been fine. Their best offers.

He's bought a lot of people. And so he's proclaiming himself

to be king and David seeing this and knowing this, what not the

people that's under his Rule and Reign and his protection, not

wanting them to see evil, not wanted.

He's trying to protect them. I don't believe.

It's so much that David is afraid for himself as he is for

his people. And so his choice to move on was

for their protection. Not that he couldn't handle the

issue, but he had the people to consider.

And so he's going to move on and the Bible says they're going to

pass over the brook kedron and in doing so.

There comes a man in verse number 19, by the name of it

tie, your tie is the get tight in Thai is from the land of

death. Derek is the place where David,

who's now King? Had taken the life of Goliath

who was from Dad. So, you know.

In terms of friendliness have friendly, can you get or be

whenever you were the one that killed the champion of from

where this person was from? But this is it time to get Thai.

So you understand the history that he has already somewhat

with David, is this is the man that killed our champion.

Not only, they had those have Gap and those are the get

tights. They were of the Philistine, a

mint tribe and family, which the Philistines throughout

scripture. We know.

They're not necessarily on shaking hands and sitting down

to dinner. Amen, festivals with the

Israelites. As far as that goes to usually

don't have much communication between one another outside of

war and their Rivals. I mean, they're big time Rivals

their enemies of one another but it Ty.

Is approaching David. The Bible says that David would

have respect to it. Ty, he was telling him here is

the heart of it. Tie it tie saying, we're going

over the brook. Kedron to David were following

you. This doesn't make sense.

David were following you and wherever you go.

That's where we're going to be and David says hey, why don't

you know, what David is even trying this man?

He's making sure this man doesn't have a oh, Bo and his

claws. He says you're calling me your

king. Hey, man, you're respected me as

your king. You're going where I'm going,

but I got to know that you're going to be 100% loyal.

I got to know that you're going to be 100% sold out to me in

this Kingdom and these people. And so he tries to dissuade him

and he tells him, he says let me tell you something.

He says you're a stranger. You're not an Israelite.

You're not one of our blood. He says you're a stranger.

He said for that matter, you're an exile.

In other words. You've been banished from your

own country. You've been banished.

You've been driven away from your native land and on top of

all that you just got here yesterday.

Your tie, the history between between me and you is, I've

killed you champion. We've been notable Rivals for

years. Your people, my people, you're

stranger. You don't even belong in this

land, but they banished you. They banished you, they drove

you away. And whenever you was driven away

from them, the one that had been your hey enemy, you're making a

friend. And you just got all of this

happening as of yesterday. It's not, like we got five years

under the belt here. And we don't even got a year of

few months, it tie under the belt here.

You know, our relationship is still somewhat Young.

But in this young bread relationship, it ties saying we

once we're enemies. But now we come as friends

because where I used to be no longer wants me.

Where are used to be? That used to be opposing to you

and still is the enemy of you. They no longer wanted me and I

found Refuge under your hand. I know this just all happen as

early as yesterday. But I'm making a pledge right

now that my commitments to you. Somebody hear me right now.

We all lived in the society in the world that we lived in the

world. Amen.

That was a enemy and opposition to our King and our God.

There, we lived in rival worlds. We lived in Worlds that were

strange to one another that were in opposition to one another and

we have in many instances, become an exile or that.

Country it's banished us. It's wrote us off.

It. Shook the dust off his heels

concerning us. But you know what?

We went to the house of what once was her enemy and we found

refuge and whether it's one day, five years or 20 years.

There should be a pledging of our Allegiance and our

commitment to the king that says I don't care if it's just been

one day. I don't have a or best offer

mentality in my life. Somebody needs, we expect the

one that's been in this thing. And I feel like my voice is

going or something. We got to expect something's

going on in the life of an individual that if they've been

30 years in this thing, honey. They're pretty stuck, you know,

they're with it. They're going to continue with

it. They've been here.

They're always going to be here. That doesn't have to just be the

mentality of somebody that's been around this thing for 30

years. But the moment you cross over

the moment, you step over the line, the moment that thing that

was you Enemy becomes your friend God and you step over

that line. You can have the same mentality

as that 30 year, old Christian and say, listen here.

This is not a or best opera mentality.

I'm going to be in this thing till he is.

I'm going to last 3 generations. Come higher low.

I'm staying and I'm standing. So what's say it?

Oh, Bo. See, it is a common occurrence,

and I'm sounding good right here.

So, please don't touch anything. And I say that in the sense of

volume, not saying that I sound good.

It's a common occurrence around our house, every every year.

We have a garage sale. If not twice, in a year.

We have a garage sale He-Man. People come in and I've seen

this throughout the years. We've had garage sale.

Although, I'm not intimately involved, except for setting up

a Bose and getting the stuff in there outside of that.

I really kind of hate them. I like the kick back to the

money, but I hate all the workers involved.

So I leave that to the Chief Executive Officer, sister

Maggie. And if there's ever a lady that

knows how to put on a yard sale. She can she can make more money

than a yard sale them. Some people came from a

consignment shop. I'm here today right now.

It's a gift. That there's been people come

into our garage sale and of course, with in the garage,

there's more items there than just what have a tag on them.

There are items in my garage that I wish to keep still yet

for a few years. There was not a tag on them when

we had the garage sale. You're inevitably, I've known

people to ask. How much would you take for that

change hole? How much would you take for that

toolbox? Or that battery charger?

I don't have a tag on it. But they don't care.

They posed the question just to see if we have any inkling of

negotiation. There's been time for the Mason

and I know because over the years.

I don't know. She's ever done this.

I'm not to my mind recollection, but maybe so because we've had

him for a few years now. And you know, sometimes you get

questions about the same garbage or good stuff.

Mind you. But I've been in places whenever

we've been on our little van dead as of yard sales, that

people have plainly hanging on something attack, but it wasn't

how much it was. It stated very clearly not for

sale and there's Pappy over there.

That's, you know, 70, some odd years old and or it could be

someone young like my wife. And they're asking how much

would you take for it? You know, T.

If or as a Ellie not for sale. Listen to me now.

But the true trial of the label. Is not the label itself.

But in being able to combat the request of whether or not it's

for sale. No, no, somebody's not hear me

right now, put not for sale and whatever you want to put.

Not for sale, but will it still stand as so when there's a Vine

of the attention for an exchange?

Somebody's not hurt me yet. You could put on there.

Now, going to take a million dollars, not going to take shown

to, but if the offer would come across the table that would

strike a chord with you that would make you second-guess

whether or not You should keep it or let God then honey.

It's truly not for sale in your category.

I'm going on with Jesus, just the same.

Lie about me all this I'm going on with Jesus Hallelujah.

I'm staying in it. That's a great label.

That's a great testimony in flagrant words to put out there.

But you wait till the enemy of your soul, starts trying to

negotiate and if you're willing to enter into a place, no, I

wouldn't take that but I Ben, it was improperly labeled from the

beginning. Somewhere along the line maybe

in the fine print. We had a 0 B 0 if the conditions

were just right. Someone Che man, I don't believe

I've ever seen in any of the classified ads.

Thrifty Nickel all the computer, ons and line adds.

I don't think ever in my life I've ever seen, one of the ads

has said not for sale. Oh Bo I've never seen anybody

make an ad that said, it's not for sale or best offer, but

somehow that's exactly how some of our commitments are

categorized. It's not for sale.

But if the right thing comes along or the right man, for the

right girl of the, right opportunity, or the right thing

that just would coach me. Just write comes.

Hello, then honey. It's all for sale.

There's people Walk around in life of that type of mentality.

They don't have to have for sale on anything they got, but if the

price would be right for anything, they had, they would

sell it in a moment. And we have the same type of

mentality of people that walk around in church.

They might not have a label for Uncle.

This is for sale on anything. They got in this Christian life,

but at the right opportunity the right condition was man honey at

a moment's notice a or drop it all and go after the better

so-called. It.

I had a mindset that he wasn't just speaking for himself.

He had 600 people that get tights.

That were with him. That had found that refuge and

the Hand of David King, David. Their main set was where the

king is, where the King was. That's where we're going to be,

even if it meant that in Life, or in death.

We're with the King. If you remember the story at the

Naomi had sojourned in the land of Moab got herself a couple of

son-in-law's and lost her husband.

And those two son-in-law's in the will help with a couple of

daughter-in-laws that were moabite.

Us Naomi. See, she's going to return back

to Bethlehem Judah because she hears of some bread.

Back him the land and she's going to go and she's going to

take her leave from Moab that she's been at per 10 years that

her daughter-in-laws cry out to her and say we're going back.

With you Naomi, that's where we're headed.

But Naomi starts to try them to see if they had a or best offer

mentality. And she says, girls, why don't

you go back to your home? Why don't you go back to your

mother's house? Why don't you go back to your

family and go back to your gods and you'll be given rest there.

A man from the sorrow of having left.

Amen. Your husband's having left by

way of death. And the Bible says, amen.

Whenever this happens that they both cry out and space tell,

we're not go. And we're staying, everything's

gonna be well, but number two comes along.

She says to him girls. I don't Many more Sons.

I don't have any more Sons to be your husband's, if you would

even if I find a man today in, get pregnant and give birth to a

baby, nine months later and you'd wait for him to be grown.

Would you even wait that? I don't have another son.

I buy, I don't have anything to offer you at this point.

I don't know the things that I'm going to face whenever I go back

home. And the Bible says, whenever or

her, amen, heard that, that she kissed her mother-in-law, and

she went back to her family and went back to her.

God's why? Or if I had 20 bo-hee man in her

closet she had to or a better offer in other words.

She says no, no. No, thank you.

I think it would just be best if I stayed home, but you know

what? The Bible says Ruth was have a

different mentality. The Bible says that she claimed

to her mother and Hall and although Naomi still try to

dissuade her and discourage. Her room said in treat me, not

to leave you. Where are you?

Go? I go.

Where you Lodge? I Lodge.

Amen, where you're buried. That's where I'm going to be

buried. Your God.

It's going to be my God. Why?

Because Ruth had in her mentality.

I'm dedicated. I'm sold out to your God.

I'm so down to your people. Oh, and there is no better

offer. I've lived life before you come

in here with the gods of my world.

There is no better offer. In Ruth reply.

She basically was conveying to her mother-in-law that her

decision to go to adopt different ways from her, native

land was non-negotiable. Someone say, Amen.

If you'll stand with me, I'll close here, real, I'll wrap this

thing up. Many years ago, the Mason you

may come and years ago. Spaniards were besieging the

little town of San Quentin. The frontiers of France.

This little town was in Ruins. Many of the people in this

little town were sick with fever.

They're being a famine. And there is not very many

supplies, very much food, thoughts of trees and even

existed. Among many of the townspeople

one day. The Spanish Army, shot over the

walls, a shower of arrows attached to.

The arrows were little slips of parchment.

Promising This Promise in the inhabitants Bishop that if they

would surrender their lives. And property.

That they would be spared. The governor of this quaint

little town of San Quentin where things just were in a little bit

of upheaval, not too promising at the time.

One, great leader. As he has.

So solitary answer to all their inducements to surrender.

He took a piece of parchment. He tied it to a javelin and

wrote on the parchment two words.

Regim. Hey, Bemis.

Which is translated. We have a king.

In her, old it, back into the camp of the enemy.

His one answer to all of their pleas for exchange.

Surrender. Yourself in the property and

your life will be saved. Sounds pretty appealing in the

land of famine, fever and sickness.

But he sent just two words back that says we have a king.

Folks. That should be our reply.

To the negotiations, that try to Allure the church.

That try to learn the people of God, even though we have our

signs posted not for that. Should be our reply.

But what are you talking about? What type of exchange?

What type of offer you putting on the table are pleased to be

very simple. We've got a king.

The church has a king. We, as individuals have a king.

Our commitment should be steadfast in.

Our commitment, should be unmovable to this king of kings

and thus, Lord of lords. This is not, we have a king OB.

This is not, we have a king. But if a better offer comes by

then we'll swing on that. There's not a better offer

ladies and gentlemen, than what we've already got here tonight

in the sooner that we sell out to.

At hear me. The sooner we sell out to that.

The lesser the request for negotiation of sale will come

knocking on your door. Because the label doesn't do it

enough. What starts getting in the mind

of the people, imagine a few people looking at the item that

plainly states not for sale. And Joe asked, would you take

such and such for and here the owners reply sir?

It's not for sale. Now, with two other people was

wondering if they might get in on the negotiation there going

to be a little less likely and saying anything.

If the person just underscored the fact of what the label said.

It's not personal, but if you go and say, well, let me think

about. Well, then bews going to jump in

and say, well, I'll give you such and such for it.

You open your life up to negotiation.

When you say, I think about it. I'll consider it what we need to

hear clearly from us. And from the churches, this we

have a king. What about, what you think about

this? Sorry.

We have a king, but would you if this, sorry?

We have a king. You're typing very easy.

David's leaving his own plan right now, man.

He's king of this place and he's escaping its Troublesome times

when she just like to stay know where there might be some

Security even in the upheaval of Our Lives.

Folks. There is even the, uh, people

sometimes it takes place in the church in your personal life,

serving the lord, even, and that, as they off time, set the

worst times in the church are still better than the best

times. It's bad.

That's okay. I know you're trying to take

advantage of where I am at right now, but there's no better

offer. We still have a king.

He's not abdicated his throne. How about Katya boshy, PA Kaka?

Hello Marco Polo. Hello.

I'll be soldiers are open tonight.

I wish there would be some men and women around here.

I don't care. How long you been in the church.

I wish you'd be. Thank you for listening.
