Perhaps, GOD WILL! | Pastor Morgan

Before we get into the message, my name

is Morgan. My husband and I, we are the

lead pastors here. Started this church

five years ago next week.

Yes. So, most of the time you'll see me

leading worship and about once a month

you'll see me um giving the word to you.

Uh one of the things that we are

starting today is we are starting a

churchwide fast. Okay. Yeah. So, what

we're doing for this fast, for the next

seven days, we are skipping a meal

because we want to focus on what God has

coming next through prayer. And so, we

encourage you, pick a meal in your day

where you're going to spend time praying

and reading the word. Maybe you're

praying into something for your life

that you're needing breakthrough in.

Oftentimes, fasting does that. Um, and

then we're just praying as a church. We

operate in three seasons a year and we

are about to step into our third season.

Next week is our fifth birthday. And I

don't know about you, but we are feeling

a shift in our church. We're feeling God

do some really incredible and special

things. And we want to start this season

well. And so we start we're starting it

with a fast saying God would you do

whatever you want to do in this next

four months of the year. So on the

screen you will see we also are doing a

reading plan that goes along with that

for the next seven days and then we will

break that fast over lunch free lunch

next Sunday. Yeah. Welcome home Sunday.

Um why do we call it welcome home

Sunday? Why do we put money into Sundays

where we're going to feed everybody.

Well, we do that because we feel like

this place is a church for everyone.

This is a home for people, for the lost,

for the found, for the broken, for the

hurting, for the depressed, for the

sinner, for the saint. Um, and so we

want next Sunday, don't miss it. We have

these invitations up at the front. We

want them gone today. We want you to

invite everybody you know. We just had

somebody come to our house to pick up a

marketplace thing. We gave them an

invite. They were like, "We will be

there. We don't have a church." And so,

how cool is that? In your everyday life,

you can give an invitation wherever you

go. And what you're really doing is

you're inviting them into the hope of

Jesus. So take these invites, pray over

these invites that they would be put

into the right hands. Next Sunday is not

We have some special things planned

because it's our fifth birthday. So be

sure do not miss it. Okay, we're going

to get into the word today. I want you

to open your Bibles to 1st Samuel

chapter 14. And then when you're there,

tell me that you're there.

Okay,

this is going to take a bit to read, so

bear with me. First Samuel 14:E1

says, "One day Jonathan, son of Saul,

said to his young armorbearer, "Come,

let's go over to the Philistine outpost

on the other side. But he did not tell

his father." Saul was staying on the

outskirts of Giba under a pomegranate

tree in Migrant. With him were about 600

men, among whom was Ahijah, who was

wearing an ephod. He was a son of

Kabed's brother, Ahitab, son of Phineas,

the son of Eli, the Lord's priest in

Shiloh. No one was aware that Jonathan

had left. On each side of the path that

Jonathan intended to cross to reach the

Philistine outpost was a cliff. One was

called Bozes and the other Senna. One

cliff stood to the north toward Mcmash.

What are these names?

The other to the south towards Ga.

Jonathan said to his young armor bearer,

"Come, let's go over to the outpost of

those uncircumcised men. Perhaps

somebody say perhaps.

The Lord will act on our behalf. Nothing

can hinder the Lord from saving whether

by many or by few. And his armor bearer

says, "Do all that you have in mind. Go

ahead. I am with you heart and soul."

Jonathan said, "Come on then. We will

cross over towards them and let them see

us. If they say to us, "Wait there until

we come to you," we will stay where we

are, and we won't go to them. But if

they say, "Come up to us," we will climb

up because that will be our sign that

the Lord has given them into our hands.

So both of them showed themselves to the

Philistine outpost. "Look," said the

Philistines, "the Hebrews are crawling

out of the holes that they were hiding

in." The men of the outpost shouted to

Jonathan and his armorbearer, "Come up

to us and we'll teach you a lesson." So

Jonathan said to his armor bearer,

"Climb up after me. The Lord has given

them into our hands." Jonathan climbed

up using his hands and feet with his

armor bearer right behind him. The

Philistines fell before Jonathan and his

armor bearer followed and killed behind

him. In that first attack, Jonathan and

his armor bearer killed some 20 men in

an area of about half of an acre.

I want to give you context today for

what's happening here. Israel is in

trouble because the Philistines are

defeating them and Saul is the king. If

you don't know about Saul, write his

name down and go study him. The Saul is

king during this time and the army is

afraid. Have you ever felt attacked and

you kind of freeze up? That is what Saul

does. We know from history that Saul is

a fearful leader. He worries heavily

about what others think of him and so it

has hindered his leadership. He was an

anointed king, anointed by God, and yet

full of fear. So full of fear that he is

sitting under a pomegranate tree with

600 of his men. And they're sitting

there and they're basically pouting and

waiting. And Jonathan is Saul's son.

And he's like, "Oh, we're going to go

defeat the enemy." And so he's wanting

to go to the enemy's camp. I want you to

imagine large cliffs and that the

Philistine army is at the top of the

cliffs and this is where they land every

day and this is where they go out to

fight battles. They're high up so that

they can see far and Jonathan is wanting

to go straight towards them. Verse one

says that Jonathan didn't tell his dad

about wanting to go to the enemy's camp.

I think that's significant. Scripture

never says anything that's not

significant.

But I think it it makes you ask the

question, why didn't he tell his dad,

the leader of the army? Why didn't he

tell him what he thought should be done?

I think that he didn't tell him because

Jonathan was not a man of fear. He was a

man of faith and he did not want to

allow somebody else's fear to dictate

his obedience.

I'm going to say that again. He didn't

want to allow somebody else's fear to

dictate his obedience. And today I want

to talk about being a people of faith

and having this mindset that perhaps God

will.

A lot of our world is run by fear. If

you notice when you turn on social media

almost every the things that our eyes

are seeing and our ears are hearing

is a lot of fear.

70% of all marketing is run by fear.

Think about it. Something bad could

happen to you. So, you need this product

and you need this service because you're

lacking here. Fear is incredibly

effective to get people to act.

And because our world is so full of

fear,

it makes it really hard to access faith,

especially when it seems like you're the

only one with faith. We aren't reminded

of faith as often as we're reminded of

fear.

Have you noticed that faith has become

the delusional option? It's the weaker

option.

It's no longer the courageous thing or

the smart thing to do. It's weird.

I'll give you an example. When we first

were going to step out and start

collective, somebody said to us, "You're

going to ruin your family if you do

that." Fear, right? To choose to start a

new church. the [snorts] faith option.

Too many believers

felt delusional. It was too hard. It was

dumb. It was too risky. You're going to

ruin your life and your family's life.

But we knew for us that despite what

some were saying, we didn't want to

choose the fearful option, but the

faithfilled one, even if that meant

hardship. But many people, they can't

discern that for themselves. And

therefore they would choose the fear

option to not move on faith because it's

the more rational option that avoids the

most pain.

Pain has kept us as a people from acting

in faith.

God not answering your prayers or us

experiencing prolonged suffering has

made us a people that want faith. We

desire faith. We will clap on a Sunday

morning when we hear a story of faith.

But for ourselves, we have been so

disappointed

and we think that God won't do it for

us. And so we put faith in a box on a

shelf in our minds and we never actually

put action to it because we don't want

to be disappointed if God doesn't do it

or if he doesn't answer again.

Right? Our decisions are being made with

fear in mind instead of faith. I'm not

saying that we shouldn't use wisdom or

counsel. We're going to talk about how

Jonathan does that. But we have some

paralysis in the church when it comes to

faith that I want us to push past today.

That when everyone else is choosing fear

that we can be the people that choose

faith every time. And I want to open

your eyes today to how big and great and

awesome our God is and how a life of

faith is actually not delusional. It's

actually the abundant life. Amen.

Are you ready for your faith to rise

today? All right, here we go. Uh there's

six ways or six things that I think that

faith requires that we're going to read

about. Number one, you can write this

down. Faith requires movement.

I want you to notice in verse two, take

your eyes up to verse two. What do you

see Saul doing? He is sitting right.

Verse six, you see Jonathan is moving.

Saul is waiting for something to happen

and Jonathan is moving forward until God

tells him otherwise. And so Jonathan got

to be a part of the miracle and Saul

just got to see somebody else experience

the miracle because Saul was sitting and

Jonathan was moving. Saul had 600 men.

These are army guys. Okay? Jonathan had

one man, his armor bearer. Saul had the

title, but Jonathan had faith. Sitting

does not require faith. Sitting and

wondering does not require faith. I can

have faith that I could climb a

mountain. But if I just sit at the base

of the mountain and think about climbing

it, is that faith? No.

Until I climb it, it's just words. Until

I move, it's just a thought. Faith

requires me to move and do something.

Jonathan couldn't know what God would do

until he was willing to move in faith.

Jonathan didn't know what would happen

when he crossed that valley, but he knew

that nothing was going to happen if he

didn't move. Sometimes the miracle isn't

waiting for more information or waiting

for God to do something. Sometimes the

miracle is waiting for you to do

something. Faith requires movement.

Number two, faith requires risk.

In verse two, it subtly says that the

territory that Jonathan was about to

walk into had cliffs on each side, 250

ft up. Scholars believe these are jagged

cliffs full of limestone.

Jonathan had to risk a lot to move on

what he felt he was supposed to do. Not

going to see me climbing a cliff. I

tried, well, I've tried to climb a few

mountains and I got halfway. I literally

on one of the mountains I said, "You can

go up. I'm staying right here and you

can come back and get me." And he did.

[laughter]

Jonathan, he had a lot. He had to risk a

lot to move on what he felt that he was

supposed to do. It was worth the risk to

him. He did not know if he was going to

live or die, but he still chose the risk

because he knew

who his God was. Faith had greater

authority than fear.

There will always be obstacles and

barriers when you choose faith. Faith is

never easy and it is almost always

scary. It does not take faith when it's

easy. That just takes a decision. It's

risky to try something when you don't

know if God's going to show up. It's

risky when you don't know if God's going

to provide. It's risky to talk to

somebody about faith when you might be

shut down.

When we started the church, it sounded

fun and glamorous until we didn't have

any money and our training was cancelled

and COVID started the first week that we

left our previous jobs and we're stuck

in our home looking at each other like,

"How do we even start? We don't know

what we're doing." It's risky when you

might fail. It's risky when you know God

might not answer the way that you want.

It's risky when the fear makes more

sense than the faith.

But God does not work in ways that make

sense. What the world might say is dumb,

God says that's faith.

I want you to think about Noah built an

ark. Can you imagine if we went to

Village Point and somebody is building a

boat saying that it's going to rain?

Like I would think they're delusional,

right?

And here's Noah building a boat. Abraham

puts his son on the altar. David runs

towards Goliath with a sling and some

rocks.

Joshua marches around a wall. seven

times

hoping that it comes down. Peter stepped

out of a boat and walks on water.

The world would say dumb, right?

But God says that looks like faith to

me.

And God always responds to faith. Amen.

Faith requires risk. Number three, faith

requires belief. Hebrews 11:1 says that

Hebrews 11:1

faith is confidence in what we hope for

and assurance or belief for what we do

not see. If you can see it, it doesn't

require faith.

Faith requires a belief in who God is.

Not a belief in the outcome. Not a

belief that he will answer when and how

I want, but a belief that he will be

faithful to his character. Jonathan says

in verse six, he says, "Perhaps God

will." This is not him unsure of God.

This is a humility of himself saying, "I

don't know that he will allow us to

defeat our enemy, but I believe that he

can if he desires to." And some of you

have gotten so stuck in your

circumstance for so long that you have

lost all belief that God even can. And

what you're sure of is that he won't do

it for you.

and you are leaning towards the

possibility that he actually just can't

because your marriage has been broken

for too long. Your dreams have been

delayed for too long. He's kept you at

that job for too long. The addiction is

never ending.

You don't believe that the relationship

will ever be mended. You don't believe

that the Lord will ever gift you with a

godly spouse. You don't believe that the

prayer will ever be answered. And you

don't believe that that person will ever

come to know Jesus as Lord.

I want to inject some faith in you today

that perhaps he still will.

That God is not he is not done with you

or your story. Perhaps he is bigger than

you think or you know.

We trust the character of God and not

our circumstance.

We cannot see from his vantage point.

We choose faith instead of doubt and we

don't allow unanswered prayers to be the

final say. We trust and believe that he

can and he will if he desires. And if he

doesn't answer the way that I want, if

he doesn't give me my heart's desire,

because I know him, I believe that it is

somehow for my good that I will only see

in glory.

I know that he wants good for me. But

here's the thing. Good is not always the

answer that I want. Good is the

character and faithfilled life that he

is trying to produce in me. And

sometimes it doesn't look good to me,

but it is good to him.

Number four, faith often requires

armorbearers.

I say the word often because you can

step out in faith on your own, but a lot

of the time I believe that it requires

an armor bearer. Verse seven says, "Do

all that you have in mind. Go ahead. I'm

with you heart and soul."

Had Jonathan not had his armor bearer

saying to him, "I'm with you heart and

soul." I don't know if Jonathan would

have had the courage to go and climb

that cliff towards the enemy.

There's something about his armorbearer

saying that I'm with you that I know

gave Jonathan the courage to say, "All

right, let's go. Let's take this battle

on." There is something about having

somebody in your corner who believes in

you that gives you courage and boldness.

Faith is rarely done alone. I was just

telling our core team, this church

started with 14 people. We got together

with them about a week ago and we I I

said to them, "Had you not believed in

us, I don't know that we could have made

it the first five years."

There were nights, church, that I

couldn't even get out of bed. Days that

I was stricken with fear, pain. My faith

was so weak.

It was pathetic. Honestly,

my soul was weary. I was doing I felt

like my husband, he's led a youth of

hundreds of kids. I've never led a

church. I've never led a people. How am

I going to do this? And yet we had

people and we still do today that are

there encouraging us, celebrating with

us, praying over us, reminding us of

God's vision and the things he has said.

We're just people like you, right? So we

need, you need people in our corner.

The Lord and his people are what have

carried us and they continue to carry us

because we know that we are not strong

enough people. We're not good enough

people to always stay in a state of

faith. And I felt like somebody needed

to hear this today that you are not a

bad person or a bad Christian when your

faith feels weak. And some of you think

that you're not a Christian when your

faith is weak. And that is a lie of the

enemy.

That gives the body of Christ an

opportunity to be the body.

There were days my sister when she was

living with us, she'd come in my room

and be like, "Get up. We are fighting

this battle together." Literally, we

need the body to encourage us and propel

us towards faith. You need the body to

hold you up when you have nothing left.

And we've got to be a people that are

willing to be vulnerable when it comes

to that. Do not come into this place and

try and hide your mess or try and hide

your weakness.

We're all weak, right? [snorts]

We need each other. In Exodus uh chapter

17, Moses is fighting this battle and

he's got two guys with him. Their names

are Aaron and her.

And when Moses is fighting this battle,

I want you to imagine these two guys

beside, one on each side, literally

holding up his arms because the battle,

if he dropped his arms, he was losing.

His arms had to stay up. Did you know

that they stayed up for 8 to 12 hours a

day from morning to night because Aaron

and her on each side were holding up his

arms? I can't even hold mine for like a

minute, right? Can you imagine 8 to 12

hours just like holding up this guy's

arms because that's the only way he was

going to win the battle. It was their

belief, Aaron and hers belief in Moses

that allowed for Moses to win the

battle.

You need people to do the same for you.

When you are taking big risks, don't

take it alone.

You need people believing with you. We

need to be that for each other that when

your faith feels weak or my faith feels

weak, we get to shine as the body of

Christ. We get to come in and say, "Let

me hold up your arms." Are you

struggling today? Let me help you. We're

going to fight this battle together.

We're going to conquer it, and I'm going

to hold up your arms until you see the

victory.

Number five, faith requires

confirmation.

I'm sure that you all know people

that you look at their step of faith and

you are thinking, is that faith or is

that flesh?

I think big faith decisions need

confirmation.

>> [music]

>> I believe that in crazy faith moments

that God gives confirmation through

himself or through [music] his people.

We can show you a list of about 40

confirmations that God gave to us

[music]

when we started collective.

He's big enough to speak 40 different

ways. You don't have to say I don't know

if I should [music] step out in faith in

this way. You've got a God who's big

enough to tell you and you've got a

[music] people around you that are wise

that can go to God in prayer with you.

[music] We had faith that God would

provide for us and build his church, but

we needed confirmation that he wanted us

to act on our [music] faith. Sometimes

the confirmation just aligns with his

word. I think of faith for healing.

Jesus tells us to pray for healing and

to believe for it. That's the

confirmation. [music]

Jesus wants to see you healed.

Faith for us to leave our jobs and start

a church. There's not scripture for

that. And if I'm being honest, I don't

know if you know this, but we travel to

go help other churches start. [music]

And we have seen people wanting to start

a church. They've got the enthusiasm,

but [music] they don't have the call

from God. And they do it

in a wrong heart. [music] And we have to

say, you're not ready. You're not ready

to do this. It can be a good thing to

start a church, but it can [music] be a

bad thing if you're not called. And so,

we needed confirmation for us, people

that we trusted. And Jonathan needed the

same thing in verse eight. Come on. Then

we will cross over towards them and

we're going to let them see us. Now, if

they say to us, "Wait," then we're going

to stay where we are and we're not going

to go up. But if they say, "Come up,"

we're going to climb because that's our

sign. That's our confirmation [music]

that the Lord has given them into our

hands. I believe that God is saying to

move in faith here. So, I will move in

that direction, but I will wait for

confirmation.

I'm not going to let my emotions drive

my [music] faith. I have to hear from

God.

Verse 12, the men of the outpost shouted

to Jonathan and his armor bearer, "Come

up to us." And Jonathan says, "That's

our [music] confirmation. Come on, armor

bearer. Why don't you climb up after me

and we're going to take this thing.

Number six, this is the last one.

Faith sometimes

requires [music] crazy.

I questioned on whether I was going to

tell you this

because some of you will hear it and you

will [music] think that I'm crazy for

believing God for something so big. I

haven't even told anybody this. You

[music] are the first to hear.

Others of you, the people that I'm

really talking to today, you will hear

it and you'll begin to believe God

[music] for big things for your life.

I often find myself praying for things

that many people laugh at, but I just

have the mindset [music] that perhaps

God will do it.

One of the crazy things that I'm

currently asking God for, [music] I want

to I want you to hear from my current

state of mind. I'm believing that God

will put a million dollars in our hands

for a building.

And some people will laugh at that, but

I want to believe

like Jonathan that perhaps [music] God

will do it. And here's the thing, he may

not. That's why it feels so scary

[music]

and vulnerable to tell you that.

But that cannot keep me from asking.

For some reason, I feel led to pray and

ask for [music] that. And my faith for

it may seem crazy to some, but I don't

think that it's crazy to God. I would

rather ask and he [music] not do it than

to never ask at all.

I know God enough to know that if he

doesn't give us that, [music] that he

will still provide somehow, some way.

And even if he doesn't do that,

if he never provides that,

he must have a really good reason. And I

trust [music] that because I know him.

The way that I see it is I'm asking the

God of the [music] universe. I'm asking

the one who created all things. I'm

asking the owner of all money. I'm

asking the king of all kings. Why would

I not ask? Nothing. Nothing is too hard

for the Lord. And it might seem crazy to

some, but it sounds like faith to God. I

want to be known as a person. I want to

be known by [music] God as a person of

faith. Even when it sounded crazy, I

know that my God [music] is bigger. And

I know that he is able.

When we look at this [music] story in

the Bible,

I want you to see that God did [music]

not need a big army. He needed two

people with faith. God did not need

favorable circumstances.

He needed willing vessels. God did not

need the numbers to make sense. He

needed a people that were willing to

move in faith. And today

he is looking for a people that are

willing to move in faith [music] because

the same God of the Bible is the same

God of today.

I want you to stand to your feet.

If we want if we want to see God do

crazy things, we have to be a people

that are willing to move in faith, that

are willing to risk it all. That what

might look dumb to the world looks like

faith to our God. And not a people that

have certainty before they do something,

but a confidence that says perhaps God

would do it.

Perhaps he will provide for you. Perhaps

he will save. Perhaps he will heal.

Perhaps he will restore. Perhaps he will

deliver. Do you have faith for it today?

Come on. For your life, for your family,

for your healing.

Oh, come on. Would you just begin? I

want you to come forward if you have

faith today or if you want faith today.

We are going to believe God for more.

We're going to believe him for bigger

things. Come on. Does anybody have faith

this morning? come forward. I want you

with your mouth to lift it up to him.

Whatever you've been waiting on him for,

whatever, maybe it's been years, maybe

it's been months, I want you to believe

God for it. I want you to be willing to

risk it all. I want you to be willing to

ask him for big things. Come on, with

your own mouth. Would you lift it up?

Come on, let's sing this song. Way

maker, miracle work, promise keep, light

in the darkness. My God, that is who you

are. Oh, it's who you are.

Way maker, miracle worker, promise

keeper, light [music] in the darkness.

My God, that is who you are.

Way maker, miracle worker, promise

[music and singing] keeper, light in the

darkness. My God, that

[music and singing] is who you are.

Who you are,

way maker, miracle worker, promise keep,

light in the darkness. My God, [music]

that is who you are. Oh, that is who you

are.

That is who you are.

That is [music] who you are.

That is who you are.

That is [music] who you are. Even when I

don't see it,

even when I don't see it, you're

working. Even when I don't feel it,

you're working. You never stop. You

never stop working. You never stop. You

never stop.

Even when I don't see it, you're

working. Even when I don't feel it,

you're working. You never stop. [music]

You never stop working. You never stop.

You never stop working. Even when I

don't see it, you're working. Even when

I don't feel it, you're working. [music]

You never stop. You never stop working.

Even [music] when I don't see it, you're

working. Even when I don't feel it,

you're working. You never stop. You

never stop working. You never stop. You

are

way maker, miracle [music] worker,

promise keeper, light in the darkness.

My [singing] God, that is who you are.

>> Way make [music] work, promise keep

light in the darkness. My God, that is

who you are. Sing it. That's who you

are. That is who you are.

That is who you are.

That is who [music] you are.

That is who you are, Jesus.

>> That is who you [music] are.

That is who you are.

I feel I feel a little bit like there is

a block in the room. I feel [music] like

what that block is is fear.

There is this idea that God won't

[music] do it for you

because you've been hurt for [music] so

long. You've been let down so many

times. And I just want to pray into

that. I want to pray [music] that as we

walk out of here today,

that faith [music] would be the

strongest muscle in our bones.

That we would walk differently, that we

would talk differently, and [music] most

of all, that we would view God

differently. So God, I pray I pray

against [music] every bit of fear in

this room. I pray for every person

[music] that has ever been let down,

felt like they've been let down by you.

God, would you build their faith today?

Lord, would they believe again

for greater things? Would they believe

again for the healing? [music]

Would they believe again for the

promise? [snorts] Would they believe

again for the restoration?

God, we lay the fear at your feet

and we open up our hearts to trusting

you again. That we [music] would not

give in to what the enemy has to say.

That we would [music] not let fear have

the final say,

but that a faith would begin to bubble

up inside of our spirit.

and that we would walk out of here with

great joy, with great expectation,

with a great hunger [snorts]

and a great awakening for what you are

able to do.

And God, we trust you with the timing.

We [music] trust you with the yes. And

we trust you with the no. And we trust

you in the waiting

because we know your character. because

[music] we know that you are good and

you are faithful and you are kind and

you are loving and you are just.

We trust you [music] with all of it. I

pray for every person that is at this

altar, Lord, that you [music] would

build their faith exponentially this

morning. The dreams inside of them, the

businesses [music] that they want to

start, the ministry that they want to

step into, the career path that they

want [music] to go down,

the healing that they're waiting on, the

deliverance from the [music] addiction

that they're wanting.

Lord, give us faith.

Give us faith

for what the God of the impossible is

able to [music] do.

We trust you. We trust you. We trust

you.

Amen.

>> I want to say something real quick

before we close out here. Uh Mark

[music] chapter 9 verse 24. Jesus

encounters a man

who who knows what Jesus can do but is

unsure

in this exact this fear. I I was feeling

the same thing that that Pastor Morgan's

talking about [music] like this this

fear and he says if you can

would you heal? And Jesus goes if I can.

Yeah.

>> And then I love the way that the man

responds and [music] I want to speak

specifically to those of you at this

altar or those of you who are feeling

pulled in this and not responded up to

the altar. This is what he says. He

says,

"I believe.

Help my unbelief."

It's this statement of I believe. Like I

think that's what this this coming

forward is. It's like I believe,

help my unbelief.

And in this idea of like, help build my

faith. Help strengthen my faith. Because

if you actually [music] want to cry out

that prayer to the Lord, help my

unbelief.

He will. He may give you a sense of

faith and an emotion of confidence

inside of you right now of a certainty

of what he is leading you into.

But

I don't I don't know if I see that

[music] in this passage in First Samuel

14 that there's an emotional I'm certain

of this thing. It's like

I believe. Help my unbelief. I believe,

right? Like I I know you can. And here's

[music] where here's where I I feel like

the Lord is saying this is why I came up

ultimately for all of this. I believe.

Help my unbelief. If you cry out, "Help

[music] my unbelief." I believe God is

going to give you an opportunity to

express that faith. And it's going to be

scary. And it's [music] going to be

uncomfortable

and it's going to challenge you. It's

going to require risk. It's going to

require armor bears. And it's probably

not going to feel super fuzzy, warm, and

exciting.

Maybe he will stir that up in you, but I

don't know about you guys, when the Lord

leads me in a [music] scary direction, I

feel a peace and a fear at the same

time.

>> Yeah. I feel like I'm pretty I'm pretty

certain this is him, but I'm not

positive I'm going to see him move. So,

I'm going to I'm going to walk forward

anyway. [music] I'm going to take the

risk anyway. I'm going to overcome the

fear anyway. Look for that in the days,

weeks, and months to come.

Look for his help for your unbelief

because his help for your unbelief

[music]

may be a cliff with a mountain with with

an army at the top of it.

I believe it in the mighty name of

Jesus.

We believe.

And if there's [music] not emotion here,

Lord, we're just standing on the belief

on a faith that's rooted in you, not in

us. In your [music] ability, not our

fear. We believe.

Help us

in our unbelief. [snorts]

even if [music] it means you're going to

provide an army to set before us that

we've got to conquer. In the mighty name

of [music] Jesus, we pray. Amen. Come

on. Can we give a hand for Pastor Morgan

and the word of the Lord?

>> Hey, thanks so much for watching today's

message. Our prayer is more than the

words that were spoken in the message

that you would remember the things that

God [music] spoke to your heart.

>> Yeah. And no matter what it was that God

spoke to you, I know that part of your

journey is other people being in a

community because we are better

together. So if you made a decision to
