Love Your Enemies | Pr Alvin Keng

You're listening to a message to go from X Church. We hope this message

will light up your team. The title of the word today is love your

enemies. Okay, And of course I put a sub text here saying preparing

our heart to be of heavenly us, preparing our heart to be of heavenly

use. And we got your bibles you. I want you to turn to

look chapter six. Look chapter six. You can put your finger there and

we will read it later. So I mentioned August is our missions and phasis

man. And we are focusing as a churchisman of what is our first priority,

which is God's last commandment. Right? And I mentioned you just met

you twenty eight verse eighteen to twenty where Jesus asks us to go into all

the nations. So go into all the nations. Right, make disciples?

Now? Check you so very big on making disciples. You know. We

have different leaders here, different people who are listing what we call a harder

relationship or disipotry relationship. Some people use the term mentor I think whatever term

you use is basically just understanding that we can't do this life alone, but

we need someone else, you know. And of course a lot of hers

here can say, oh no, it's okay. It's just me and Jesus

enough. We are cool. I don't even need to come to church,

you know, God never. You know, the church is not men's idea.

The church is God's idea. If we if we study Acts Chapter two,

and we really study the Word of God, we will know that there

is a reason why different things you know, we do and practice today.

You know, it wasn't something that you know, if it's men's men's idea,

we wouldn't be meeting law, you know, but it's God's idea.

We need community, we need to come together, we need to challenge each

other, we need to have you know. You know, I see the

church as the church is a place that we can experience the reality of God

and express His love to others one another and beyond this. That's what the

Bible says. And you know, how do you know how people will know

that you're a Christian? You know, even the word Christian was not created

by us. It wasn't created by people who followed. It was created by

other people. People say, hey, how do we call these people?

Are? What do we call them? You know? And they decided to

start calling them Christians. Why because they see Jesus in them. How cool

is that? Guys? It's quite cool, aw that someone look at you

and I don't know whether you've been there before where people look at you and

say, are you Christian? You know, I'm sure some of you here

have got asked that question before. And it's probably because of what you do

and how you do and how you speak, and you know, they see

there's something different about you, right, and people can recognize that, you

know, the Jesus that lives in us, right. And yeah, So

go into all the nations, make disciples, baptize them in the name of

the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. You know why baptism is

important because baptism is a public declaration that we have died to our own self

and our risen to a new life. It is a public declaration that after

I go through the waters of baptism, right, I should not live like

how I used to live. I should not say the things like how I

used to say. I should not think the way. You know, there

is a change in our spirit, man, when we go through baptism,

right. You know, when we experience things as human beings, it affects

the way we approach things. You know, all of us here, we

have different experiences as human beings, right, and and the thing is we

the reality we have in our lives is a collection of what we experience in

the past, you know, and and and that's how we live our life.

Right. You might do something that someone else don't do because of what

you experience. You might not do something that someone would actually do because of

what your experience. You know, And that's your reality. But the truth

of God is the reality that God wants us to experience. You're catching that

right, no matter which background you're from, no matter what the nomination used

to go, no matter where you've come. You need to understand that there

is a work that is happening in our lives because of the Holy Spirit.

That God always wants to renew your mind. God wants to renew your mind

so that you are mature in your faith, so that you will not be

shaken, so that you will not be affected when COVID happens, So when

I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow, that you will still stand strong

on your faith and still say that Jesus is alive and He's alive in my

life. No matter how my life looks like right now, no matter how

sick my kids are right now, no matter how messed up my workplace is

right now, Jesus is still our life in my life, and that should

never change because that's the reality that God has. Worse. You're catching something.

It's not that our experience and the surrounding is real. No, no,

no, it is real. But it's also that we serve a God

that is very real. Amen. And that's the power that we have as

believe us. That's the power that God has given to us because he said

all authority that has been given to him on heaven and on earth. You

know how powerful that phrase is. That's why when we pray in Jesus name,

we should really believe that you can happen, because the authority has been

given to Christ and all he needs to say is yes or no when we

make our request to him. Amen. So baptize teaching them to obey everything

that Jesus has commanded. That is our call, friends. You know,

of course, the responsibility over the pastor or the spiritual leader or your home

leader ishavior. You know in the Bible does say that those that are leading

others, we have ahavior calling, you know, and if we lead other

only, then we will be extra hashly more hashly charged, skating away,

you know. But but teach. We need to encourage each other, teach

each other, share with one another, you know, share testimonies. You

know how hard is it to get people a share that testimony? Is so

hard, so hard because they're more worried about other people think about them.

Hey, hello, I think you should think about what God think of you

then when you glorify Him while were so tight lip to share our testimonies.

It's not about you, guys. You know, we always think about us.

That's that's the thing that's the problem with human beings. We constantly think

about us. It's all about me, me, me. When it gets

uncomfortable, when it then then I don't want, Then I don't do.

Then I I pray for sir. Let me pray first, friends, there's

something bigger. We've got to learn what Jesus is commanding us to do.

Amen, that's what we need to do. So we express God's love when

we serve and women fulfill our mission. That's what we do. We are

called to love our neighbor. We are called to do that you know.

I you know, we were sharing in homes about missions, and I had

this revelation that a you know what, actually, when someone opens their house,

right, they are expressing God's love to the rest of us. Oh

what do you mean by that? Yeah, they are because they are going

on their way to serve others. So don't you don't you realize that when

you serve someone else and when you came here our extreme team to practice,

you know, whatever intention you may feel, but you are serving God and

you're you're loving others by being early and making sure you don't play wrong.

Key. You know, when the XTV is here up there preparing the lyrics

and hopefully getting the typo is correct. They're serving you all so that those

that do not sing the songs can sing along. Why because so that you

can follow and be you know, take part in the worship. Ex.

Kids, see us parents, we appreciate them, right, they take care

of our kids so that they can teach them something so that at least we

also have peace in the service. Amen. See, we serve on another

in the church. It's not just duty, it is a privilege. And

we serve on another and we also serve God because God did say to Peter,

do you love me? Peter? Oh, Lord, I love you.

Feed my sheep. It's not just to past us. And you know,

I hope you catch that. It is the teaching of Jesus that when

you serve others, you are loving God and serving him as well. Do

you see it that way? Let me challenge your thoughts today. Amen.

For God's love the world. He gave his only begoden son, that whoever

believes in him should not perish but have ever lasting life. For God did

not send his son into the world to condemn the world, but that the

world true him might be saved. This is this is what we are called

to do. Friends. That's why Jesus said, go and make disciples.

Why did he say go? And why he didn't say just go and convert

people as long as they say that are Christian enough? No, because he

knows that we are human beings. We have a very high tendency to revert

all habits, we have a very high tendency to be discouraged, very high

tendency to you know, first can walk and water like Peter. Then halfways

and he realized, oh no, why am I doing? And they start

thinking that's human beings. We have a very high tendency to reject him.

God, I won't reject you, and then few minutes later reject three times.

And then after that when Jesus question, you're not happy God? You

do? I love you? Right? If you love, really love God,

will you reject him? But he didn't do that. That's why make

disciples friends. So friends, can I encourage you that we need to prepare

our hearts to be used by God, to love others and to serve them.

You know, I think if we fully understand our role here as believers,

it will be no issue or problem for us, no problem at all

to serve, to go for missions, and to just follow through whatever that

the Church is encouraging you. I think, no issue. I think if

you have you are fully convinced in your heart, you wouldn't have issue.

But sometimes we are not fully convinced. Sometimes we are like Gyrus saying,

Lord, I want to believe, but I am shaken. Help me in

my unbelief, you know. And God so good that he will help you,

you know, he will help you decide to say it's a it's a

renewing of your mind. Constantly renew your mind, constantly renew our mind.

The Holy Spirit is doing a work in each and every one of your life.

Can I encourage you to make his life easier and to follow because we

can reject him or not. Do you know that you have the power to

reject as well? You know my encouragement for you today is don't reject.

Open your ears to hear Jesus saying the word. He who has ears,

let him here. Don't reject. Yes, it's hard, Yes you've got

past experiences, but God wants to do something new in your life. You

know, the old manna got worm city, Stop eating it. Time for

something new today, emen Time for fresh manna today, Time for deliberate today.

Guys, whatever you experience in the past is the past. The hurts,

the success is the past. City. Don't talk about it anymore already,

don't worry. Ready, put yourself out there. Cannot not. Oh,

but then I serve in this old church, and then they this that

is well. They're human beings, so so they're also serving God. They're

also giving their best. That's the past. Step into something new? Amen.

So what does Jesus teach us to do? All right? Guys?

Okay, okay, I think I'm doing good time per same. We want

you to talk about love your enemies in missions. I say it's a preparation

of heart. It is very hard, I think, very hard, very

hard to go and bless someone else when you go unforgiveness in your heart.

It's very harder to be Christiana and to love on another here when you don't

like have to be but here. Very hard, very hard. Trust me

not to say it can be done, but very hard. It's very hard.

It's very harder to listen to Pastor Alvina when you know that you know

that day he never shake your hand, you know, and he probably don't

care for you because you never never value to his house. Yeah, I

try, like guys, I try. It's very hard. No, it's

very hard. So we got to prepare our hearts. Why did Jesus talk

about this? He talked about it first. Now he addressed it. This

is solved like his first sermon to be attitudes and after this is this ready.

I'm just thought, you'll be beneficial for us to go through this right.

And if you feel it in your heart, don't worry. I don't

know about it. It's probably the Holy Spirit. But I thought as I

pray and I speak bad and say, Lord, what do you want to

tell your people today? You know why we learn all these things? When

you talk about love your enemies. Don't judge others? Do you know why?

It is for your benefit? Friends, that you live free lives,

at peace with yourself and at peace with others. It is not for any

other reason. It is for your benefit. I'll share some stories after this,

So look chapter six, we're gonna be reading from verse twenty seven to

thirty six. I hope I can go through this real quick. But I

say to you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who

hate you. How God, when the person drive very fast and cut me

on the road, I will definitely haunt the person and try and cut the

person. How to love my enemies? Bless those who curse you? Wow?

So Hannah, pray for those who spitefully use you. How do you

pray for someone? You know? How our prayer? Or so, Lord,

that guy that they took advantage of me, I pray that you will

cast him down, and you will call your fire from heaven to burn him

up. That's the prayer. No, no, no, no, no,

guys, that's not what God is asking us to pray to him who

strikes you on one check offer the other or so, oh, my goodness,

Jesus, you're mad. And from him who takes away a clone,

do not withhold your tunic either. Huh, you are my shirt. You

know. We do it in a very spiteful way, right, Sometimes give

to everyone who asks you, And from him who takes away your goods,

do not astand back Some of us here we have kept accounts about people who

has taken our stuff since we were five years old, and we still remember

that that guy, to my book, I will never And just as you

want men to do to you, you also do to them like wise.

And this is the kicker why all these things. But if you love those

who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love

those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good

to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the

same. And if you learn to those whom you hope to receive back,

what credit is that to you? For even sinners learn to sinners to receive

as much rack. But love your enemies do good, learn hoping for nothing

in return, and your reward would be great, and you will be sons

of the most High, for He is kind to the unt thankful and evil.

Therefore be merciful, just as your father also is merciful. Okay,

let's unpack here a little bit. Okay, this is not my words,

are guys, These Jesus words not easy to hear. Right, you'll prefer

to hear. Lord will bless you. He will give you a bond of

life. Something we've got to talk about thingside this, No, because you've

got to prepare our hearts. So I'll just break it down through some points.

He says, do good to those who hate you. I wouldn't even

ask that because personally it's harder. Right, it's hard if you know someone

hates you, and how you're going to be nice to them. It's gonna

be very heart But don't. I'll share you some testiments after this. Right,

Bless those wholl cuss you all. Bless those wholl curs you? Also

very hard. You know what's even harder when you know that person is more

evil than you, well, more overside evil, but the person's worse,

and you feel like you need to defend yourself. It's hard, right,

I've been in a situation side before where someone will come to me and say,

oh, I know, I know, but I have nothing but good

things to say about them. Do you know how hard is it? It's

hard, but I'm not called to judge them. I'm called to love them,

even if they hate me. I have to ask a Lord help me.

Allah. But do you know who would be a vindicator? Friends?

God would be a indicator. He sees, you know. God sees all

these things you don't. He don't don't see you know. And if we

are his children, he will take care of us. Pray for those who

sprightfully use you? Friends, how many of you have been felt feeling exploited

by your company and boss? Have you prayed for them? Have you blessed

them? Give to everyone who asks us? You know, when we do

this, we are different from the norm? Correct? Are we different from

the nom? We are? We are different from the norm. Do all

the and expect nothing in return. That's what Jesus said, No, for

we are sons of the Most High, and God sees what we do.

Let me give you this revelation. If you understand your birth fright as children

of God, it won't be so hard to do this But if we don't

understand that we are children of God, and we treat ourselves as hire links,

meaning that I'm just here when it's convenient, but the moment it's not

coming, I'm not going to do it right, then we don't claim to

be children of God. Let me give you this picture. Our Father is

the one teaching us this, that this is what you should do. Although

it's hard, if we know that our Father is good and he will bless

us, especially when we go through situation and we say, Lord, I'm

doing this. Are you look at the amount of stress and suffering I'm going

through following your word? Can you please show me and show up? He

will? No, Do you know that he will? Because it's more different

if we do what everyone else does and we listen to what everyone else isn't

you are no different from anyone else. Everybody's doing the same thing. But

Jesus wants you to be different. God wants you to be different. God

wants you to be mature because the child will do. You know what the

child does, but someone who's mature will do it differently, not for theself

of doing differently. Love but you get what I mean, So love our

enemies. We are God's kids. He sees one when we forgive people,

he sees one when we love people. He sees one when we pray for

people. Although people curse it as he sees one. You know, let

me flip it a little bit. If I mean not if I am I

am a father, I have two kids. If I see my children get

bullied, well maybe bullets us. But if I see someone or another kid

be nasty to my child and I see my child love them, do you

know that you will break my heart knowing that my child sees the person as

something precious even though they are being whatever, blank, under whatever. I'll

be so proud as to that because I can not realize that my child sees

something beyond that. Or do I revert to the human nature? Hey,

waking back? Lah, everybody does that. There is a higher calling,

friends, to where God is calling us. There is a higher calling.

There is a higher calling. Amen, Let's go and continue. Okay,

I don't have a lot of time. Let me try and speed up.

It says here in Luke chapter sixty seven. Judge not, and you shall

not be judged condemned on and you shall not be condemned forgive and you will

be forgiven. Give and it'll be given to you. Good measure, pressed

down, shaken together, running over will be put into your bosom. For

with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.

And he spoke a parable to them. Can the blind lead the blind?

Will they not both fall into the ditch? A disciple is not a

birth his teacher, but everyone who is perfectly trained will be like his teacher.

And why do you look at the spect in your brother's eye, but

do not perceive the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say

to your brother brother, let me remove the spect that is in your eye,

when you yourself do not see the plank that is in your own eye?

He put crid. First remove the plank from your own eye, and

then you will see clearly to remove the spect that is in your brother's eye.

Can let me try my best to explain this. So, of course,

we all are familiar with the word don't judge, but unfortunately, as

human beings, we judge very easily. On okay, I fall under that

category. Okay, so I will admit that I am not perfect right,

and we should not never condemn others. That's something we should never do because

God didn't condemn us. So if it's just us, right, then all

these things we will do with justification. But the relationship is no longer just

about us, right, Friends, we have God in the picture. And

the reason why God said don't judge, it's because he said, hey,

hello, I don't judge you. Why are you going and judge out of

people? If you don't put God in the picture, you will not understand

the scripture. But when God is in the picture, you will realize,

Wow, God has forgiven me, so I should forgive and even gave.

The example of the servant, we all know how bad the servant worse?

What the the king? I forgive you for a big Debtma, you're so

happy, then suddenly this person all your ten ring getna, you go and

wake the f lamp tro him in jail. That is the same thing that

happens when we look at our brother and sister and judge them. That's the

same thing we are like that wicked servant. So, friends, understanding our

relationship is important. Understanding that God is there is important. Forgive and you

will be forgiven. Give and it be given for with the same measure we

use. If we measure it back to it talks about stewardship. Right.

It is not a promise from men, but it's a promise from God.

Friends, it is not okay, it is not something we claim from this

world, but something that God assures us that when we do this, he

will be the one to pay us back. You'll catch that right. He'll

be the one that settled the accounts with us. And He has already settled

the accounts He has ready forgiven us. You know. That's why He has

already done. He redeemed us ready. So before we look at others,

let's look at Let's take along how look at ourselves first. That's the encouragement

today. Before when point finger this person, like that, that person at

that, look at ourselves, look at ourselves us. Oh Lord, actually

I'm not that great, you know, because it's easier to point finger,

but it's hard to look at ourselves. Friends. Let's take a long,

hard look at ourselves and ask God to help us. Amen. So I

end with this story because I know I don't have a lot of time.

I actually got two more points, but I think I will do it in

bu Okay, So I need to apologize because I ne're rush okay, And

if you want to hear the other two points, hopefully I can finish it

there then you can listen. The other two points is bearing good fruit and

building on the rock. These are the things we need to do as believe

us. See, even before we say, oh, I'm want to go

missions, I want ourselves others, I want to do all these things right.

We've got to get our hearts right, because if our hearts is not

right, we might do more damage than help. If our hearts is not

right, and when we face certain challenges right, we are not equipped to

manage it right. But when we start with a heart pure, Imagine you

go for missions, are you don't hate anyone? Everything is forgiven. You're

not judging or being judgment or to anybody. Imagine going to missions, you

already being very careful with what fruit you bear. How is our attitude?

Imagine when you go and serve the Lord right, you know who your rock

is? Because there will be challenges. One, Why build on the rock?

Why beild on Jesus? Because challenges will come, Friends, it will

come. It's going to be hard. How beautiful you'll build your life the

storm will come on. You'll know that right, how beautiful you build,

how how strong your relate, how strong it is. So there will be

storms. But when we build on the rock, even when the storm comes,

we can stand strong and say up. Okay, it was a minor

inconvenience when the flood comes. But if our life is being tossed to and

fro, friends, where's your foundation is it? On Jesus? There will

be my challenge for you. Amen. So I got a story to share

about forgiveness. It's my second year in Uni, Okay and first year we

stayed in a hostel. But the second year we have to shift out,

you know. And I studied in Okay. I won't say with unila try

and not given too much information lest this message goes out and my campus friends

all start like wondering who I'm talking about. But anyway, so so me

being full of faith and not caring about where I end up, didn't didn't

find any house to stay in until the last minute. So I ended up

in this place in Suri Kambangan, thirteen minutes away from my Uni, and

I staying with friends. And I mean I grew up in church, friends,

I grow out in church I think I'm a pretty okay guy. I

don't have enemy slaw, so all these love your enemy thing I don't really

understand. I don't consider myself having enemies. I think people don't like me

more that I don't like them generally. I think, so, okay,

maybe it's my face. Maybe it's the eyebrows. My wife said, maybe

it's the way I not don't talk to me proper. I don't know how

whatever it is, okay, And if you don't like me, here,

I apologize here, I say sorry first. Okay, But I think I'm

a pretty okay person. I've never really hated anybody in my life, to

be really honest, okay, but this experience I had one housemaid. Oh

man, that housemaid I won't reveal their old guy really pierced me off.

It was the first time in my life I used to word hate really,

and friends, I musta tell you something. I went through a pretty rough

childhood, ler okay, pretty rough, pretty rough childhood, and thank god

I was in church. I learned now forgiveness, you know, care love.

So I've never really been ticked off so badly before. No, but

this housemaid somehow grinds my gears. For two three months, I hated this

housemate with all my being. Every single meeting I have, every single conversation

I have with my friends, I am complaining about this person NonStop. I'm

a Christian, you know I need to forgive, right, but this person

is so horrible. Let me tell you one story. Okay, we've got

toilet at home, right. I come back home from from class. I

look at the toilet, huge Rosa sign on the toilet, and I look

at it. I'm like, cannot flash feel slose? I opened the toilet

thing. The string that hooks it dropped off. I hook you back,

can flash it? Okay, that's one, don't worry. I got many

more, but I don't have time. Trust me when I said I really

didn't like this person, really really didn't like this person, right, And

I didn't realize how much it consumed me. Really, it was consuming consuming,

you know, every time I will complain about this person, my housemaid.

It was very unhealthy for two three months, right, and I've never

experienced this all guys, I need to tell you, right, it takes

a lot to grind my guess. It takes a lot to take me off.

But this person managed to do every single thing. So what happened one

day last time in my uni we had this thing called small groups our CG,

you know, and Syrica Mangan we had a CG. So I went

and joined the CG and you know we shaller you know read the word share

and true to my season of time. That time, I was just complaining

about my housemate, non stoppler, you know, and of course asking for

Preylla, you know, like, oh no, I must help you know

all these things low and that time not past it yet. I remember jack

Link was I subject. He was my CG leader, right, it's awesome

guy. You should know him before he was pasted. He has changed a

lot, but he was listening to it and he actually gave me some advice.

And this is the ADVISI gifer. I'm trying to paraphrase you. Now,

Elvin, you've complaining about this housemate now for so long? Do you

even realize that maybe you are the problem. Well, Way's stronger. Yeah,

but he can come from Jackers, That's how he is. Okay,

he'll twist it on you, and I'm like, how can I be the

problem? This person has done ten things that's wrong. Other people agree me

and all these things. Right, So I was, of course not happier.

Offended, right, okay, offended? How can my CG leaders say

things that is, you were supposed to love right and care right and understand

my situation right. But you know what happened. I went back. I

thought about it. You know what happened after that? I even prayed about

it, Lord, two months of horror and pain. Is it really me?

Of course? Let me give you the revelation. It's not me.

Allah, Okay, it's not me. It's to me. But let me

tell you what change. He's tom me, it's me. He's the favorite

person. But let me let me tell you a change. That comment made

me realize the amount of unforgiveness I had for this person, and I repented

for their unforgiveness. You know what I did. I prayed that night,

yourself. I prayed. I say, Lord, I'm sorry for having so

much unforgiveness. I didn't realize. And I always thought as a person,

as a Christian, I always was quick to forgive. But this person managed

to do all to really mess me up. And I say, Lord,

I will forgive, And you know I did. I actually went to that

person that night and ask for forgiveness, and of course the person was confuser.

Person's not a believer. Okay, sure you know, but it was

not for that person that ask forgiveness. It was for myself. Do you

know that I stayed there for another year? The person never changed, nothing

changed. But do you know what change I change? I had peace.

I had peace beyond all understanding. The rosa sign came out a few more

times, but I was not bothered by it anymore. There were more stories

like okay, we've got chalance, we have lunch. I'll tell you more.

Okay, right, I think you will be like people that I tell

the story. But how can you stay this person? Yes? I have

stayed this person, thank God, for only one year. So friends,

unforgiveness in our life. You know, God taught me a very important lesson

that day about unforgiveness. I see it to leave with the person. The

person never changed, you know, but I change. My heart was softer.

I could see the person with love. After forgiving the person, I

could be compassionate all Do you know that I was compassionate after that? I

was so nice to that person after that extra nice, right, But it

was not because of me God wanted to teach me something about forgiveness. I

give you another teaser after that. Now I met many more people who worse

off than that person. My mom has this saying, you know, whatever

you experience in life, when you go and work, you'll meet people ten

times worse. And she's right, you will meet people ten times worse.

But the experience with that person has helped me even today that even when I

meet difficult people, really difficult people, I'm okay, I can look at

them with eyes for compassion because I know how to forgive, and forgiveness become

forgiving becomes easier. So, friends, I don't know what or where you're

at with this, but I just want to encourage you that God has a

higher calling for us. I'm not saying I'm all high in Mighty. You

know I'm not perfect, okay, right, And I think God led me

true that lesson so that I can learn. I don't know where you're at

to their, friends, but can I encourage you If there's unforgiveness in your

life, deal with it. Deal with it. You will be better off.

The person might not change, the person will still live however they live,

but you will change. God will set you free. It could be

with this Churchill. So I don't know. Maybe there are certain things that

you're like, Oh no, they're happier. I don't know. Friends,

if you're finding yourself stuck in a situation and start yourself, can or not

surrender all these thoughts that is stopping you from progressing and saying, Lord take

over. There's definitely a reason why I'm still here. There's definitely a reason

why you're still leading me in this place. There's definitely a reason why,

Lord, because you are the one in control. In that situation, I

had the revelation that God's in control. I had crib shifted out. Oh

yeah, I could have done all of that, but it was the most

valuable lesson I learned about forgiveness in my own life, and that really helped

me in the few years after that. So, friends, you know,

when we follow Jesus, let's not just listen, but let's follow. So

amen, Remember I mentioned we're building on the rock, and you know,

when we build on the rock, whatever happens in our life, we won't

be shaken. Right, So have we built on the rock of our salvation

in Christ? Jesus have shaken recently I don't know if you have been shaking

recently. Are you shaking right now? Check your foundation? Is it solid?

Have you been just building on the foundation of friends. Have you been

building on the foundation of family? Have you been building on the foundation of

Oh, you know, the sound sounds correct. Can we build on the

foundation of Jesus and God's work today? Amen? Romans child one who says,

I beseech you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God,

that you present your bodies a living sacrifice wholly acceptable to God, which is

your reasonable service. And do not be conformed by this world, but be

transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you may prove what is that

good and acceptable and perfect will of God. We hope you've been blessed by
