Remember it, let go of your heart, because
He will be there for you.
Then last night we looked at the whole
issue of security.
We talked about Matthew 14, one of my
favorite passages in the whole Bible.
As Peter got out of the boat and
walked in the water to Jesus.
And a call, and it's a powerful call,
and it's a relevant call, and it's a
call that he's making today to his people.
I want you on the water.
Just as he called the young man, come
to a place where you're not in control
anymore.
As he calls the guest, come to a
place where I will love you, cherish you,
and make you worthwhile.
He calls his people and says, now come
on the water, and on the water you'll
realize the only one that counts is me.
The only power that means anything is mine.
The only miracle that you'll see is the
one that keeps you afloat.
The only faith that you'll focus upon is
my faith.
The only one who will have the answers
to your questions is me.
You don't have to rationalize it out.
You don't have to work it out.
You don't have to gift it out.
You just have to get on the water,
and I will hold you up.
That is what being a Christian in this
generation is all about.
It's what being a Christian in any generation
has always been about.
But we are called again, because although we
perhaps didn't realize that every single disciple followed
Peter onto the water, not at that moment,
but later in their lives, every single one
of those men, apart from Judas who betrayed
him, walked on water with Christ.
What I mean by that is they did
impossible things for Jesus, but they did those
impossible things by Jesus, through Jesus.
There is no question that God asks us
to do the impossible.
Some people challenge the teaching that has become
the center, which is the teaching of Christ
as all, and say, if Jesus is everything,
nothing will get done, because he's in heaven,
we're on earth.
He expects us to work.
You know what?
You're right.
He doesn't expect us to work.
He expects us to walk on water.
He expects us to do the impossible.
He gives us tasks beyond us.
We cannot, we cannot do the task.
Like Paul says in 2 Corinthians, who is
equal to such a task?
It's the one that God has called us
to.
None of us.
But then Paul goes on to say, but
our competence for that calling is from God.
The all-surpassing power is his.
Jesus calls us on to the water so
that men will see, women will see, young
people will see, that we do impossible things,
but it's not us.
It's so clearly not us.
So young people and men and women in
every generation have been called to do things
that shouldn't be able to be done.
They have done them, but as people have
seen the impossible, they see Jesus is there,
and they're drawn to him.
So like in every other generation, God is
calling this generation of leaders to do the
impossible, and to do that, he's calling you
on the water.
And they had to do it, and we
have to do it.
Being a Christian is not being in a
comfortable pew.
Being a Christian is not about having a
safe, cozy little lifestyle.
Being a Christian is not about settling into
your house, your home, your lifestyle, your family,
and living for the rest of your life
in veritable comfort.
It's about being called out onto the water
with the Lord Jesus Christ, living a radically
different lifestyle by and through the power of
God Almighty, through the presence of the Spirit
within us, the Spirit of Christ who says,
walk with me.
So God is calling people out of addiction.
He's calling them out of their possessions.
He's calling them out of power trips.
He's calling them out of places of control.
He's calling them to let go of their
security, to give their lives away.
Some of you will get to the end
of your life, and you'll have spent a
great deal of time making money, making yourself
comfortable, establishing yourselves, and I say ourselves, in
homes, and realize that it's all just dust.
Better to get to his presence and realize
that we walked on the water with Jesus
Christ, that he called us to the mission
fields of this world, including this country, which
is vastly, vastly a mission field, rapidly slipping
into spiritual anarchy.
God calls us to give our lives away
here and elsewhere, not to get it all
together in our heads, not to build strategies
that come out of the human heart, not
to establish the plans ourselves.
My friends, Jesus has a plan, and you
know what?
It's not only a good one, it'll work.
What he wants you and me to do
is get on the water with him to
let go of our security, let go of
our control, let go of our hearts so
he can fill it, and let go of
our security.
And I challenge young and older like this
one, some of you'll be thinking, yeah, this
is a good message for the young, it's
a good message for you, it's a good
message for me.
Time is running out, it stands at the
very threshold.
This world is passing away.
The kingdom of heaven is upon us.
Don't miss the opportunity to walk on water.
Say, how do I do that?
To become available.
It's that simple.
It's not about your abilities, it's about your
availability.
Are you available to God?
People came to Jesus one day and said,
I will follow you wherever you go, I
just need to go and bury my father.
It wasn't necessarily that the man's father was
dead.
What he was saying to Jesus, I will
follow you wherever I go, but I've got
a little agenda to finish first.
I've got to take care of my father,
and when he's dead and buried, then I'll
follow you.
What did Jesus say?
Let the dead bury their dead, you follow
me.
It wasn't carelessness, it wasn't coldness.
He was saying, my friend, don't let any
other agenda stand in the way of the
call that I've given you to walk on
water with me.
Leave those who don't know me to take
care of those things, and you walk with
me.
The other man said, let me just go
and say goodbye to my family.
Jesus said, if a man puts his hand
to the plow and then turns around and
walks away from that, he's not worthy of
me.
What a challenge.
Not easy words.
He's saying, let there be no other priority
in your heart but to walk with me.
Let there be no other agenda but to
be on the water with me.
I will take care of everything, including those
necessities.
You follow me.
Today the call remains the same.
This morning I want to bring you one
more challenge, and actually for those of you
that are not living off-island and will
be around this afternoon, and please, those of
you who are connected to the tree, please
understand you're welcome to stay through the day
with us and hang out and enjoy the
weather here, and then meet with us at
six o'clock this evening, because I have
a fifth message in this series.
God gave me thighs.
I didn't ask for any number.
He gave me thighs.
I encourage you to come back for the
fifth one, but today I want to encourage
you to let go of self.
So we've heard, let go of control.
Let go of your heart.
Let go of security.
Let go of your mind.
Let go of your body.
I want to challenge you today to be
letting go of self.
It's so easy for the Lord to slip
into a secondary place, and for our focus
to shift almost imperceptibly to ourselves.
The devil has two main strategies for doing
this.
Let me show you one of them in
the other as we do.
In Luke chapter 9 and verse 18, the
Lord Jesus was praying in private with his
disciples.
He asked them, who do the crowds say
that I am?
Boys, what's the buzz?
What are the people saying about me?
Obviously the men were interested and had signed
out, and they said, man it's great.
Some say John the Baptist.
Now John was dead already, but some were
saying he's back.
Others say Elijah, dead even longer, but represented
the most powerful, supernaturally powerful of the Old
Testament prophets.
A great hero in Jewish legend.
And still others that one of the prophets
of long ago has come back to life.
Lord, it's exciting.
Man, Lord, it's so good to be connected
to you.
Because people just, they're in awe of you,
and they think you're truly something powerful.
So powerful you could even be Elijah back
in the flesh, or John the Baptist raised
from the dead, or one of the great
prophets from the past, whom God has sent
again.
Now what about you?
Yes, who do you say I am?
Peter piped right up.
Dear old Pete.
God was working in his heart.
God was teaching him.
God had revealed him some awesome things.
He was way ahead spiritually in some ways
than some of the other disciples.
That's why he walked on water first.
You see, you are the Christ.
You are the Messiah.
You're God's anointed one.
You're the one he has sent into the
world.
And we're your generals.
You're everything Lord, a witch.
We're just so excited.
A couple of days later, they're arguing on
a journey.
You see it further along in this chapter
in verse 48.
But which of them would be the greatest?
I mean, they were so excited about what
was going on.
They were so happed up about what was
happening.
They were in for it.
They were up for the challenge.
Jesus was more than they could have hoped
for or expected.
People were so excited and they were the
inner sanctum circle.
And you can tell right in this chapter
what that did to them.
You can tell how Satan used the excitement
and the wonder of Christ and then slowly,
just imperceptibly, just momentarily, momentarily and momentarily, bumped
them aside.
He just nudged them.
And so instead of their focus being on,
wow, Jesus, what is it that you want
to do?
Who is it that you really are?
Where are you going?
What is it that you want of us?
We belong to you.
You're the one God has sent.
Suddenly, they're thinking, I wonder where I sit
in the new government.
I wonder where I am in the new
world order.
And they actually got so caught up with
it, they began to argue with one another
who was greater.
James and John were fiery characters.
They were certain that they were ministers of
justice.
Lord, we're the boys with the swords.
Anybody doesn't, look, we are the enforcers.
They started wearing sunglasses.
We're the ones.
People don't believe in you, Lord, we'll call
the fire from heaven.
They actually tried it out once.
Went into a village where they were unacceptable.
Both the boys sidled up alongside the Lord
Jesus, stuck the old sunglasses on and said,
is this the time we stop them?
James and John's mother came to the Lord
Jesus somewhere around the same period of time
and silently, quietly took him aside, preened his
feathers a little bit and said, Jesus, you're
wonderful.
You're awesome.
He's got a kingdom.
I would really like it if my boys
were first and second in control.
What do you think of that idea?
Don't you think they're worthy?
Aren't they awesome?
That's so good.
It makes such a good prime minister and
vice prime minister.
Don't you think?
You know what, I think Jesus was amused.
I really do.
And also challenged, because he knew what was
coming.
And he looked at John and James and
he said, can you accept the baptism that's
coming?
Baptism, Lord, we love baptism.
But they didn't realize that the baptism Jesus
was talking about was death.
And I don't even think John and James
knew what they were saying.
But they said, yes, Lord.
And before the church was a matter of
months old, James was executed by Herod.
And as an old man, John was exiled
to an island to live and die alone.
And as the disciples thought with excitement about
who Jesus was, Jesus says, or the scripture
says here in Luke 9, that Jesus strictly
warned them not to tell anyone.
And he said, the son of man must
suffer many things and be rejected by the
elders, chief priests and teachers of the law.
And he must be killed on the third
day.
He must be killed.
And on the third day, be raised to
life.
Boys, here's where all this excitement's going.
You want to be great in the kingdom,
you better understand what this kingdom is about.
You think I'm so awesome?
And of course they were right.
He was awesome, is awesome.
He wanted them to know how the kingdom
of heaven works on the earth.
It's a call to suffering.
It's a call to death.
And this is where some of you are
thinking, popular teaching.
I mean, we could make CDs and sell
this.
This is where some of you are thinking,
holy, we better change this guy's attitude because
that will just never do.
It's exactly what Peter said.
As Jesus continued to emphasize that the kingdom
of heaven on the earth was a call
to death and suffering, Peter said, not so,
Lord.
God forbid.
You're not going to die.
Peter and John called on fire.
I have a sword tucked away in the
back.
Anybody comes here near you, Lord, they're done
for.
And he proceeded to prove it.
Took a swing at the head of a
priest's servant who came near Jesus.
Fortunately, the man was quick enough to dodge
and he just lost an ear.
Right?
Until the cross, these men had no clue.
Even after the resurrection, some of them said
to him, okay, suffering part's over, right?
Now we're going to see your kingdom established?
Now we're going to throw out the Romans?
Now we're going to have David's Israel all
over again?
Right?
And Jesus was saying, whatever.
Man, you don't have a clue.
Suffering's only started.
The flip side of the call to let
go of yourself is the call to let
go of your heart.
If you want to be ravished by the
love of God in such a way as
you know what it truly means to live,
let go of your heart, but understand as
we let go of our hearts that such
will be the love that pours into us.
We will do anything he asks us to
do.
And what he asks us to do is
to let go of ourselves, all our agendas
and plans, and to accept that the call
to let go of self is a call
to suffering.
There is no other way to understand the
call of Jesus Christ.
Now, it's worth it because all around us,
boys and girls and men and women will
come to Jesus and hope will burn in
hearts.
Love will abound.
Grace will be absolutely unstoppable.
It won't happen until we let go of
self.
Jesus modeled it in his calling, in his
love, in his ministry, and in this commitment
to die, to suffer.
I love what Keith Green said.
He said, we want to cross.
We want a posturepedic cross.
We want a comfortable cross.
We want to cross with bad strengths, not
nails.
Again and again, God calls us to let
go of self, and again and again, whether
we realize it or not, and many of
us don't, that means he calls us to
the end of our strengths, to the end
of our agendas, to the end of our
abilities, so that finally we can let go
of our own plans, what we want, what
we desire, what we aim, what we promised,
what we planned in the ministry and in
the kingdom of heaven, things that we thought
we would do for him, the challenges that
we thought we would meet, the positions that
we thought we would take in the kingdom
of heaven.
Take the back seat.
Jesus comes to the front and says, yes,
yes, if you accept this baptism, you can
serve me.
If you accept this baptism, we will do
great things together.
If you allow me to lead, then nothing
can stop us, but truly, my friend, you
will die in the process.
You will die in every way conceivable.
You will decrease, I will increase.
It will not be easy, nor painless.
It will rip your heart apart, but we
will win the world.
There's no other way.
Out there and in here, people come to
us who have been sickened and poisoned by
the world's love affair with itself.
And out there, there are young people and
men and women who are desperately searching, wondering
if there is something better.
And there is, but it has to be
modeled by those who have found that if
we just become like the world, caught up
with ourselves, our agendas, our plans, our sophistications,
our education, our ministries, the aims and the
dreams that we have for the sake of
the kingdom, if we get caught up with
those, we just become like another corporation, another
little empire.
We get caught up with those, then men
take control.
We get caught up with men taking control,
then we eat one another alive, thankfully all
the way through the centuries of the history
of the church, God has called men and
women and boys and girls out onto the
water on itself.
There are always those who are the weakest,
always.
He calls the weak.
If you're weak, if you're broken today, you're
a candidate for this call.
If you know that you have nothing left
to offer, then you're a candidate for this
calling.
If you know that when you get out
there, you have nothing to give, you're a
candidate for the kingdom of heaven and the
usefulness of God.
You think you've got it together?
Wait for a while.
But if you're here and your heart breaks
and you know, oh Lord, oh God, you
have called me to let go of control
and it's been the hardest thing I've ever
done.
And actually Lord, you took it from me
in ways I'd never even expected.
You've called me to let go of my
heart and I know that you love me.
Despite all of this, I know that you
love me and your love is that which
keeps me breathing and loving back.
Even when I'm hurt, even when I'm confused,
even when there's darkness in the world around
me, I know that love abides.
I love you because you first loved me
and it bubbles over and explodes from me.
And I know you're asking me to let
go of my security and I know that
all of this must come to fruition when
I let go of self.
Jesus said, boys, this is the way it
is.
I'm not going to become the king of
Israel in the way that you think.
The coronation is going to be the road
they call the way of self.
Those who march me to my throne will
beat and spit and kick and hate.
My crowning will be the most painful experience
of my life on the throne.
I'll get across the throne.
At this stage, they didn't even truly begin
to understand much, but what Jesus was saying,
I need you to come with me.
The amazing thing is that these men did
give their lives.
The happiest, most powerful, most used group of
young people the world has ever seen.
They gave their lives.
Jesus said, if anyone would come after me,
he must deny himself.
I don't need that to happen.
I need other people to be denied because
it just hurt me.
I need other people to hear this message.
I'll take the CD afterwards and I'll give
it to so-and-so.
Does he ever need it?
Does she ever need it?
Hold the phone.
He's calling you on the water.
Calling you to give up your heart.
Calling you to let go of control.
He's calling you to deny yourself.
Simply let go of all the dreams, all
the desires.
Some people think, oh yeah, let going of
self, denying yourself, oh yeah, that means we
deny all the bad stuff.
We won't allow ourselves to do the bad
stuff.
That's not what Jesus said.
He said, deny yourself period.
Leave aside the good stuff too.
All the stuff that you thought you would
do for God.
What, so that you can do nothing?
No, so that he can tell you actually
what he is going to do through you,
for you, by you.
So that he can tell you the impossible
things that he's asking you to do.
The water, show you the stretch of water
that he wants you to walk on and
that he will hold you up in.
The impossible things that will draw men and
women and boys and girls to Christ through
your life, through your sacrifice, through your pain.
You leave aside all your gifts, all your
talents, everything you thought was good, everything you
thought was bad, just everything period.
When he calls you to let go of
self, God does not want you to think
less of yourself.
He doesn't want you to think more of
yourself.
He just doesn't want you to think of
yourself at all.
That's what the denying self means.
When it doesn't matter what men think or
say or do because your eyes are on
Jesus and your heart is open to him
and he sustains you by his love.
Because he is in control because you're on
the water with him.
It doesn't matter whether men praise you or
don't praise you.
It doesn't matter whether they accept you or
don't accept you.
It doesn't matter whether you're considered to be
worthwhile or not worthwhile.
Remember the words of the apostle Paul in
2nd Corinthians, we are considered imposters and yet
genuine.
We are considered those who are something and
yet we are nothing or nothing and yet
we are something.
We are considered those who have this or
who have that but really this is the
way we are.
I mean read it, it's there.
He says what we are is the servants
of Jesus Christ and we live with our
eyes on God under the power of Christ
through the power of the Holy Spirit.
We're walking on water.
When you let go of self like that
and you have to let it go, God
will accomplish this.
You just have to take your hands off
and say well I didn't know it was
like this.
I didn't know that it would involve this.
I didn't know that there would be pain.
I thought it was going to be wonderful,
Hollywood like but I'm willing to let go
of myself Lord and you, you come forward.
That's why a saxophone player can end up
to be a guitar player.
That's why a carpenter can end up to
be a missionary.
That's why a healthy person will end up
being unhealthy.
That's why a man who walks will end
up crippled.
In it all, Jesus Christ comes through.
If you want to follow me, deny yourself.
Let go of yourself.
Spend so much time thinking about what we'll
do for the kingdom and it's time you
started thinking about what Jesus will do for
his own glory.
Just leave aside your ideas.
The positive way is the way the enemy
will catch us.
Just think about what we will do and
soul distracts.
It's just a little bump.
It's still all for Jesus.
The devil doesn't care about that.
You can be all about Jesus.
You can be all about serving him.
You can be all about being the best
you can be for him and whatever it
is you think he's called you to do.
So start on the old treadmill and it's
just a little bump but it focuses you
on the positives of what you can do.
If he can't get you there, he'll bump
you to the negatives.
If he can't cripple you with positive thoughts
about yourself, he'll cripple you with negative thoughts
about yourself.
I'm such a loser.
I can't be anything to God.
He'll cripple you with guilt.
He'll cripple you with the pain of your
past.
He'll cripple you with the pain of your
presence and all it is in the end
is just more self.
You'll run around looking for healing and you'll
run around looking for answers about your problems
and you'll run around looking for release from
your wounds and truly God will do all
of that for us.
But he doesn't want us to stay focused
on those things because it's just the same
as the positive self.
It's just more of self.
We are spending thousands of dollars going to
psychoanalysts, psychiatrists and psychologists simply so that we
can discover how much pain we are in.
While some of their ministry is vital because
they can show us where our wounds are,
we can spend the rest of our lives
buried under our own pain or we can
come to Jesus and say, I'm going to
take my hands off this pain and myself.
I'm going to let you heal my wounds
and I'm coming on the water with you.
The devil will seek to nudge you off
in either direction.
So you start running for the prime minister
of heaven or you get buried in your
own pain.
Let go.
It's not about not having doughnuts and eating
soury instead.
It's about not thinking about what you want,
what you are at all.
All wrapped up, caught up, swept up.
He says you gotta deny yourself.
You gotta take up your cross dead.
What does that mean?
Well there is an indication of how the
Lord will help you stay honest.
This is what God will do for you
as you let go of yourself.
He will send into your life daily the
things that will crucify this life and say,
oh that means I'm in for a terrible
life.
It does mean you're in for a lot
of tears.
You realize how self-centered, self-oriented, how
much self-effort has been the heart of
your existence and how selfish you've been with
people around you.
Yes, in that respect He will bring the
cross to you and He'll use all kinds
of things, all kinds of people, all kinds
of circumstances and you'll spend a good deal
of your time repenting.
But with it comes absolute freedom to see
Jesus as He is, the Lord of your
life, the Savior of the world, the lover
of your soul, the winner.
There is such freedom in getting over yourself
and allowing every day the Lord to keep
you on the cross, to accept every day
the instrument of suffering.
Yes, but it's also, listen, credit to resurrection.
God has promised that in every one of
us there is resurrection life.
Listen to what He says in Ephesians through
the Apostle Paul.
I'm almost finished.
He says, I pray also that the eyes,
this is Ephesians 118, of your heart may
be enlightened in order that you may know
the hope to which He has called you,
the riches of His glorious inheritance in the
sense and His incomparably great power for us
who believe.
That power is the very same power, the
very same working of His mighty strength which
He exerted in Christ when He raised Him
from the dead and seated Him at the
right hand in the heavenly realms far above
all rule and authority, power and dominion and
every title that can be given, not only
in the present age, but in the age
to come.
And God placed all things under His feet
and appointed Him to be head over everything.
Listen, for the church, on behalf of the
church, we are called to let go of
self so that He can nail us to
the cross daily, so that He can raise
us with Christ in victory moment by moment.
People want to get to the victory, but
they don't want to face the cross.
The road, He
will do it for you.
You can't crucify yourself, that's impossible.
He had to give Himself into the hands
of the Jews and the Romans.
They became God's instruments in the life of
Jesus Christ.
You give yourself into the hands of God
so that you will crucify Him.
Jesus is in the sacristy here,
it's not about Stevenson, thank God.
It would be a poor ministry.
It's not about Pastor Kevin, it's not about
Pastor Chad, Pastor Joe, any of the other
pastors that we've got.
Pastor Mack, son
of David, is calling for the misfits, the
rejects, brokenhearted.
He's gathering together a group of mighty men,
women, just like David of old, just as
David was the center, around which these mighty
men gathered.
So Jesus, man, you know what?
I don't care if I'm the guy that
just has to brush up the dirt, as
long as I'm on the team, and I'm
watching Him raise up mighty men, mighty women,
who are focused on Him.
Here is the secret, not on our denominations.
Listen, God grant, I wish I could say
I'm a prophet.
I don't know if I am or not.
I don't really care.
But denominations must end, because they've taken away
our focus from the King of kings and
Lord of lords, and placed them upon our
little distinctives.
It's got to end.
And before Jesus comes in glory, it'll all
be over, and we'll all just be suffering
Christians for the sake of Christ.
Personal agendas, dreams for the kingdom have got
to end.
And all the mothers of James's and John's's
have got to sit back and realize, if
you're going to ask for your son or
your daughter to be great, you're asking that
they die.
Those of us who want to be the
greatest have got to learn what Jesus said
to His disciples in verse 48 of the
very chapter that we're in, in Luke chapter
9.
He placed a child in the middle of
them, and He said this, whoever welcomes this
child in My name, this little child in
My name welcomes Me, and whoever welcomes Me,
welcomes the One who sent Me.
For He who is least among you all,
He is the greatest.
If you want to follow Me, He said,
you have got to deny yourself.
You have got to disappear.
You have got to decrease.
And I will keep you straight and honest,
because if you will do this, if you
will say, yes Lord, if you will let
go of yourself, then I will grant you
a cross every day.
And it could be any number of things.
I can't tell you what it'll be, but
it'll keep you honest on the water.
Let go of control.
Let go of your security.
Let go of self.
We know what will happen.
Read the Acts of the Apostles, and you'll
know what will happen.
And if ever there was a time when
we need to see it again, and if
ever there was a time similar to that
first century, it's now.
And if ever the call was lied, it's
as lied as it's ever been.
Come!
Let it all die.
Walk with Me.
Deny yourself.
Just forget yourself.
Accept from Me the instrument of your own
selfish heart.
Dearly, follow Me.
And we will win the world.
Scary, isn't it?
But don't you feel the excitement?
Don't you feel the Holy Spirit renewing you
within?
I'm going to release those of you that
need to thank you for coming back at
six o'clock for the fifth message in
this series.
Now, I don't often do series, series, series,
but my grammar is real good.
No, but we want to tell you this
series will be available on CD.
It is, in fact, today.
Up until today, you can get every one
of these messages, and the last one will
be on CD as well.
And I urge you, not because I'm sort
of egotistical.
I don't care.
I don't even, we won't even put my
name on it.
Just the name of the series.
Give it to people and say, listen to
this, whoever is preaching.
It doesn't matter.
Just listen to it.
I don't give a hoot about that.
People won't remember my name in five minutes
anyway.
The moment I'm gone and enjoy in heaven,
people will forget me.
But this message, this call, this Jesus needs
to be heard.
And He is being heard.
And you guys, you young people, you young
leaders, you're the ones that are hearing.
Now, respond.
Say, yes, Lord.
I'm going to come, and I'm going to
leave aside.
I'm going to let go of my control.
I'm going to let go of my heart
so you can feel it, Lord.
I'm going to let go of my security,
and I'm going to let go of myself.
Do this.
I don't even know how it works, but
I'm kicking my hands off it today.
Do this, Lord.
I want to walk on water.
And these things you've learned, faithfully teach
others.
Let's pray, and then the band are going
to come and sing.
If you have to leave, please be free
to leave.
We're going to worship for a while.
So we respond to the things we've heard.
The kids from there, the young people, they're
not kids, young adults from the retreat, pizza's
coming, but pizza is good whether it's hot,
warm, or cold.
So we're not worried about that.
We're just going to stay and worship for
a while.
It's great.
We're in no rush today.
There's no schedule to worry about.
Actually, we didn't seem to worry much about
the schedule any time this weekend.
But this is dismissal for those of you
that feel you have to leave, and of
course, we understand that some of you have
to.
You don't feel bad.
I just urge you to leave as quietly
as you can, but you're chatting in the
parking lot.
I couldn't remember the phrase.
