Transcript [05:46] We are New Season, a Christ centered, [05:49] Bible-based, spirit empowered family of [05:51] believers. Multithnic, [05:53] multigenerational, united under one [05:56] name, Jesus. We are world changers and [06:00] history makers, societal architects, [06:03] cultural reformers, atmosphere shifters. [06:08] In a time of confusion, we bring [06:10] clarity. In an age of compromise, we [06:13] stand on conviction. In a culture of [06:16] chaos, we carry Christ. We are God's [06:19] children. Passionate but not complacent, [06:23] bold but not arrogant, wired for revival [06:26] and purpose and marked by a relational [06:29] culture. [06:30] Our mission is simple to explore God's [06:33] word, embrace his grace, experience his [06:36] presence and express his love all for [06:40] the glory of Christ. At the heart of it [06:43] all, worship, word, world. We worship [06:48] Jesus. We live his word. We change the [06:52] world. We preach the full gospel without [06:55] compromise. We don't lean.

From our city to the [07:08] nations, we advance righteousness and [07:11] justice. Living Psalm 89:14. [07:15] Righteousness and justice are the [07:17] foundation of your throne.

[43:34] If you turn to the screen, yours, O [43:36] Lord, is the greatness, the power, the [43:39] glory, the victory, and the majesty. [43:41] Everything in the heavens and on earth [43:44] is yours, O Lord, and this is your [43:46] kingdom. We adore you as the one who is [43:49] over all things. Wealth and honor come [43:52] from you alone. For you rule over [43:55] everything. Power and might are in your [43:57] hand and at your discretion. People are [43:59] made great and given strength. People [44:02] are made great and given strength. I [44:05] love this passage from scripture. If we [44:07] read a little bit earlier, David talks [44:09] about his love and devotion to the house [44:12] of the Lord. And so with this short uh [44:15] phrase, I like to say that we have a [44:17] heart for the house. [44:19] >> Yes, [44:20] >> we have a heart for this house because [44:22] this house is filled with the glory of [44:24] God. [44:25] >> Come on. [44:25] >> Something is happening among you season [44:27] about what we got we got going on [44:29] throughout both the children's ministry, [44:31] the youth ministry, the young adults, [44:34] the women's ministry, and can I say the [44:36] men's ministry of new season. [44:39] >> Where all the dangerous men at? [44:42] Oh, they're still sleeping in their [44:44] cave. Where are the dangerous men at? [44:48] >> That's it. That's it. There's something [44:50] happening in the undertones of revival [44:52] here at New Season. And this is one way [44:55] for us to continue to keep that fire [44:58] alive because God is healing people. God [45:01] is setting people free. God is uh doing [45:04] a miracle in people's lives and famil [45:06] family's lives. We've seen it from our [45:08] morning prayers at 6:00 a.m. We have [45:10] about 15 to 20 people showing up. [45:14] I don't know about you, but the times [45:15] that I've shown up, the glory of the [45:17] Lord is manifesting itself in a way that [45:20] I haven't seen before. And so, I want to [45:23] encourage everybody in this house [45:26] that if this is your house, we got to be [45:28] generous to the house that feeds us. [45:31] Pastor Lauren, what do you say to that? [45:33] You know, when when you said, "I have a [45:34] heart for the house." I was reading in [45:36] in Exodus uh this week in my in my [45:39] weekly Bible reading, and I I I saw how [45:42] the people of Israel were so excited to [45:45] create a place for the presence of God. [45:48] As they brought their gifts to the [45:50] tabernacle, it got they were overflowing [45:52] so much where Moses actually had to say, [45:55] "Stop bringing gifts." They were so [45:58] energized about the presence of the Lord [46:00] and creating having a heart for the [46:02] house and that they just couldn't help [46:05] but bring what they had and to the point [46:07] where Pastor Sam had to say, "New [46:08] season, you're giving so much. We need [46:11] you to stop giving because of what God [46:14] is doing in your life, there's an [46:15] overflow." And so today, I I'm really [46:17] I'm really excited because God is up to [46:20] something. God's not just doing little [46:22] things. He's doing big things all across [46:23] this all across this campus. I sense [46:26] this to say God has built this house and [46:29] he continues to build it. [46:31] >> Yeah. [46:31] >> God has built has built this house and [46:33] continues to build it. I hear the vision [46:35] of Pastor Shad [46:37] >> that this is not the only campus. [46:38] Roseville is not the only campus. [46:41] >> Down is not the only campus. There's [46:43] other campuses coming. [46:44] >> And so we got to be prepared for what's [46:46] coming up ahead cuz God is going to [46:48] continue to build this house and expand [46:51] its influence across in so many [46:52] different directions. Why don't we stand [46:54] to our feet? There's various ways to [46:56] give today. [46:57] >> We got our QR code where QR code push [47:00] paid zel all that's on the screen. You [47:02] can also tap your tap tag right in front [47:04] of you. Every other seat there you can [47:06] give through the offering right there. [47:08] And I just want to encourage you. God is [47:10] in this in this season in the overflow. [47:13] As you give, you are prophetically [47:15] partnering. I'll say that again. You are [47:18] partnering with the work of God. And I [47:20] promise you, when you partner with the [47:22] work of God, there is a blessing beyond [47:25] anything that you can imagine. Come on, [47:28] >> why don't you lift up your gift up to [47:29] the Lord right now? Father, we come to [47:32] you with a generous heart and a generous [47:34] spirit. Understanding, God, that you've [47:36] built a house and you're going to [47:37] continue to build it through us, your [47:39] people. We ask you, God, to bless this [47:42] with an open heart. We pray, God, that [47:44] you would bless new season and all its [47:46] initiatives. And what does God going to [47:48] to bring revival to these United States [47:51] and across the board in Jesus mighty [47:53] name. [47:54] >> So bring your gift. Tap this stage and [47:57] say I have a heart for this house. Come [48:00] on. Bring your gift right now. [48:04] >> Come on everybody. [48:06] >> Let's go. I got the joy. I got the joy. [48:08] I got the joy. It's the joy of the Lord. [48:12] It's the joy of the Lord. I got the joy. [48:15] I got the joy. I got the joy. It's the [48:18] joy of the Lord. It's the joy of the [48:20] Lord. I got the joy. I got the joy. I [48:23] got the joy. It's the joy of the Lord. [48:27] It's the joy of the Lord. I got the joy. [48:29] I got the joy. I got the joy.

[48:44] The joy of the Lord, the joy of the Lord [48:47] is my strength. [48:51] Oh my soul, bless his name. All that is [48:56] within me say joy of the Lord. The joy [49:01] of the Lord is my [49:04] oh. [49:18] Somebody find your best Sunday morning [49:20] praise and lift up Jesus. [49:24] Everybody get on your feet for a moment. [49:25] Lift up your hands. [49:28] LET ALL THAT HAVE BREATH PRAISE THE [49:29] LORD. [49:31] LET the redeemed of the Lord say so. [49:33] REJOICE AGAIN. I SAY REJOICE. [49:38] Shout unto God with the voice of [49:44] Let's do it ONE MORE TIME. SHOUT UNTO [49:46] GOD WITH the voice of [49:49] SHOUT UNTO GOD WITH THE VOICE of [49:53] Come ON. IF JESUS IS YOUR LORD, IF JESUS [49:56] IS YOUR SAVIOR, if Jesus is your [49:58] deliverer, if Jesus is your healer, IF [50:01] JESUS IS YOUR EVERYTHING, GIVE HIM YOUR [50:04] HIGHEST PRAISE. [50:10] Before you're seated, just affirm your [50:13] neighbor. Affirm your neighbor. One of [50:15] my favorite, one of my favorite verses [50:18] is John chapter 10, verse 28 and 29. [50:22] favorite verse is the conversation is [50:25] beautiful. Jesus said we because of him [50:30] we are in the father's hand. A version [50:32] would read his grip and his grasp. And [50:35] then it says and then our father has [50:39] given you to him and nothing can [50:44] separate you from his love. [50:47] I need you before you're seated to look [50:49] at we don't know what you've been [50:51] through this week. I need you to look at [50:53] your name and tell him smile. [50:56] You are in God's hands [50:58] and nothing can remove you from the [51:02] hands of Almighty God. Somebody needs to [51:06] PRAISE LIKE THE DEVIL IS a liar. [51:10] SOMEBODY NEEDS TO SHOUT LIKE THE GATES [51:12] OF HELL WILL NEVER PREVAIL against you. [51:15] SOMEBODY NEEDS TO DANCE TODAY LIKE NO [51:17] WEAPON FORMED AGAINST YOU WILL EVER [51:19] PROSPER. [51:23] God is so good. You may be seated. God [51:25] is so good. I just arrived my last big [51:29] trip of the year. Somebody say, "Praise [51:31] God." [51:31] >> Praise God. [51:32] >> I just there just got back yesterday [51:35] from from Australia from Perth, [51:37] Australia. Pastor Mark and Jamaima [51:40] Verge. They had thousands of people [51:42] gathered at the convention center in [51:43] Perth, Australia, the western end of [51:46] Australia. Just landed yesterday. [51:48] Amazing. Kingdom City conference. Seeing [51:51] God show up. People from all over the [51:53] world traveling and seeing God just move [51:55] in Asia, in Australia, in Oceanana. It's [51:59] amazing. Wherever you go around the [52:01] world, the same Holy Spirit is moving. [52:04] >> Isn't that amazing? The same Holy Spirit [52:06] is moving. And he's moving like in [52:08] places that are like Malaysia and [52:10] Indonesia, Singapore, uh, China and so [52:14] forth. He's moving in places where the [52:16] ecosystem, the atmosphere is very [52:18] precarious and difficult for the gospel. [52:21] This is the way I see it. If God, the [52:23] largest Muslim nation in the world is [52:26] Indonesia. Indonesia. And people are [52:29] coming to Jesus in Indonesia in [52:31] record-breaking numbers. [52:34] So, wait a minute. I live in California. [52:36] SO I COME BACK AND GO, "WAIT A SECOND. [52:39] IF GOD CAN MOVE IN Indonesia and [52:45] let me do that one more time. If there's [52:47] A REVIVAL TAKING PLACE in Indonesia, AND [52:51] I'M TALKING ABOUT MASSIVE REVIVAL, [52:53] MASSIVE move of God, CAN Y'ALL Y'ALL [52:56] HAVE ENOUGH FAITH TO BELIEVE THAT [52:58] California is about to be filled to the [52:59] glory of God? Y'ALL BELIEVE IT? ANYBODY [53:03] HERE COME IN AGREEMENT THAT CALIFORNIA [53:04] will be saved? California will be [53:07] delivered. California, we will be filled [53:09] with the glory of Jesus. If you were [53:11] here last week, raise your hand. IF YOU [53:14] FORGOT if you were here last week, raise [53:15] your other hand so we can pray for you. [53:19] >> GOLIATH NEVER WINS. REPEAT AFTER ME, [53:21] Goliath never wins. [53:22] >> Goliath never. [53:24] >> LAST WEEK WE TALKED ABOUT THAT PROXIMITY [53:26] to your problem can distort your [53:28] perspective. [53:29] >> I mean, think about that. that last week [53:32] you need to just YOU'RE FACING UP TO [53:34] YOUR problem and if you're too close to [53:36] your problem, you're never going to see [53:37] the other side of what God has for you. [53:39] There has to be a space between you and [53:41] your problem. You and your giant. David [53:44] had space. We talked about the [53:46] scientific equation that he space was [53:50] required for David to release the stone [53:53] from the slingshot. You need space [53:55] between you and your problem. And the [53:57] space between you and your problem is [53:59] called what? [54:00] It's called faith. It's called faith. [54:03] Enough faith where you can release the [54:05] word. Your job is to release it. God's [54:08] job is to make sure it lands in the [54:09] right place. [54:10] >> Goliath never wins. Repeat after me. [54:12] Goliath never wins. [54:14] >> And now IN THE WORDS OF PAUL HARVEY, THE [54:17] REST OF the story. 1 Samuel 17. [54:22] This is so cool. Reaching into his [54:24] shepherd's bag, taking out a stone, he [54:27] hurled it with his sling and hit the [54:28] Philistine in the forehead. The stone [54:31] sank in. Let's repeat from last week. [54:33] Look at your neighbor. Tell them, "Let [54:34] it sink in." [54:36] >> AND GOLIATH STUMBLED AND FELL face down [54:40] on the ground. This is the part I want [54:43] you TO READ. NOW, SO DAVID TRIUMPHED [54:46] OVER THE Philistine with only this, you [54:49] have to underline this now, with only a [54:52] sling and a thumb, [54:54] >> for he had no what? [54:58] >> Now, I need you to follow the beautiful [55:00] Jeffrey Schauer's beautiful English [55:02] vernacular. [55:04] So, those of you who had a hard time in [55:05] your English class, this is not for you [55:09] be because right here there seems to be [55:12] a contradiction. [55:14] We're going to DO IT TOGETHER. SO, David [55:18] triumphed over the Philistine with only [55:21] a sling and a stone, for he had no what? [55:26] >> Just continue reading. [55:29] Then David ran over, pulled Goliath's [55:33] sword, and David used it to. [55:41] >> This is one of those what you talking [55:42] about, Willis moments. [55:46] >> But you just said, [55:48] >> so David triumphed over the Philistine [55:50] with only a slig stone, for he had no [55:52] sword. Then David ran over and pulled [55:55] Goliath's sword and David used it to [55:57] kill him. But whi which one killed him. [56:01] >> How did Goliath die? Did he die because [56:05] of the stone or because of the sword? [56:11] >> I I need Pastor Elijah. Do you mind? We [56:14] haven't talked about this. I need a [56:15] giant just to fall. [56:17] Um, [56:22] >> this is it. This is a sermon. [56:25] >> Um, how you doing? [56:26] >> Good. [56:26] >> It's good to see you. [56:27] >> You, too. [56:28] >> So, I want you to be Goliath. So, all I [56:31] want you to do is [56:34] you're going to you're you're going to [56:35] you're going to fall down. It was now [56:37] because we're we're going to distinguish [56:39] between the stone and the sword. [56:42] >> All right. And and by the way, this in [56:44] no way reformship will anybody here come [56:46] to the conclusion that that you and and [56:48] and being stoned are ever in the same [56:52] sentence. You follow what I'm saying? No [56:54] one. That's not the kind of church. [56:56] That's not that's a different [56:57] congregation. So you you're going to [56:59] you're going to come down because I'm [57:01] going to show you what happened. It [57:02] seems to be a congre. SO I WANT TO ASK [57:04] you as a survey, how many of you believe [57:06] that David killed Goliath with the [57:07] stone? That Goliath died with a stone? [57:09] Raise your hand. other stone people. [57:12] How many believe the final verse it [57:14] says, well, HE MAY HAVE BEEN KNOCKED [57:17] DOWN, BUT HE REALLY killed him with the [57:19] ching. [57:21] If if you're into the ching ching king, [57:23] people lift up your hand. Are the sword [57:25] people interesting? So, ready? So, this [57:30] is David. David takes a stone. There's [57:33] distance. Stay right there. Don't get [57:34] close. There's distance. That's This is [57:37] called faith. He releases. He releases [57:40] it, right? You release the word, the [57:42] promises of God in our context, the [57:44] finished work of Christ. He hits him and [57:47] and let's read it verbatim. So he [57:49] triumphed over. He He fell. HOW DID HE [57:51] FALL? BACK. [57:53] >> That's it. That's the whole message. Now [57:56] fall face down. Go ahead. [58:00] Okay, we'll do that one more time. You [58:02] know I produce stuff, right? So, okay. [58:04] Action. Camera three. Hold on a second. [58:06] Let's ready. When I say action, you [58:09] fall. So, but there's like because this [58:11] is all right. Ready? Action. [58:25] AND THE ACADEMY AWARD GOES TO PASTOR [58:29] ELIJAH LEWIS. [58:35] That's why I love him. This is not [58:37] stage, by the way. He had no idea I was [58:38] calling him. [58:40] >> That's it. Are there any questions? Stop [58:43] for a second. I want to make it clear. [58:44] You're going to get the message in a [58:45] moment. This is what happens. This is [58:48] exactly WHAT HAPPENED. HE FELL FACE [58:50] WHAT? [58:51] >> SO, HEBREW EXEETICAL EXTRAPULATION. [58:54] PLEASE, if you have Google or Chad or [58:55] Grock or Claude or whatever that you [58:58] could check this out and and do your due [59:00] diligence. So, in that sentence, David [59:03] triumphed. That word is actually kill in [59:07] the Hebrew. That's the English [59:08] translation. In the Hebrew is actually [59:10] killed. Bring an end to killed. SO HE [59:14] KILLED HIM with a stone. So if he killed [59:16] him WITH A STONE, WHY IN THE WORLD did [59:18] he pick UP THE SWORD? NOW HOW DID HE [59:20] FALL? [59:22] >> THIS IS why I don't know if you're [59:24] picking it up. HERE'S DAVID. HE KNOCKS [59:27] HIM DOWN WITH the stone. How How does [59:29] David know HE'S DEAD? SO DAVID COMES [59:32] ALONG. HE'S ALREADY DEAD. HE KILLED HIM. [59:35] HE HAD NO NEED FOR A SWORD. BUT HE PICKS [59:38] UP HIS SWORD AND HE CONFIRMS THE KILL. [59:41] THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE THAT WALK AWAY [59:43] WITHOUT EVER CONFIRMING THE KILL. THIS [59:46] IS WHY YOU'RE HERE THIS MORNING. THE [59:48] REASON WHY YOU'RE HERE THIS MORNING IS [59:50] BECAUSE YOU AND I NEED TO LIVE THE KIND [59:52] OF LIFE WHERE WE DON'T WALK AWAY [59:54] THINKING THAT IT'S BEEN KNOCKED DOWN. IT [59:56] MAY BE DEAD. HOPEFULLY is dead. [59:58] PRAYERFULLY IS DEAD. NO. UNDER THE [60:00] ANOINTING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, YOU HAVE [60:03] THE RESPONSIBILITY TO CONFIRM THAT THAT [60:06] GIANT [60:08] THAT THAT GIANT WILL NEVER GET BACK UP [60:10] AGAIN. ARE YOU WITH ME RIGHT NOW? LET ME [60:13] DO IT ONE MORE TIME. DON'T JUST ASSUME [60:15] THAT IT'S DEAD. DON'T JUST ASSUME THAT [60:18] IT'S GONE. DON'T JUST ASSUME THAT IT'S [60:20] OVER. WALK TO IT AND SAY, "GO AHEAD. IN [60:23] THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, YOU'RE NEVER [60:25] GOING TO GET BACK UP AGAIN. THAT YOU'RE [60:27] GOING TO GET THIS BY TOMORROW MORNING." [60:29] ALL OF THIS POINTS TO JESUS. WHAT DID [60:32] DAVID KNOCK GOLIATH DOWN WITH? A WHAT? [60:35] >> A WHAT? [60:36] >> WHAT DID HE DEFEAT HIM WITH? [60:39] >> A STONE. WHO IS THE CHIEF CORNERSTONE? [60:44] >> I said, WHO IS THE CHIEF CORNERSTONE? [60:47] >> Who is the chief cornerstone? [60:51] >> 1 Peter 2:5, Ephesians 2:20. Who is the [60:54] chief cornerstone? [60:56] >> JESUS IS THE STONE. JESUS BRINGS THEM [61:00] DOWN. JESUS BRINGS THEM DOWN IN THE NAME [61:03] OF JESUS, THE BLOOD OF JESUS, THE CROSS [61:05] OF JESUS, THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS. [61:08] JESUS BRINGS HIM DOWN. BUT WHAT IS THE [61:10] SWORD ACCORDING TO US IN THE NEW [61:12] TESTAMENT? [61:13] >> WHAT IS THE SWORD? [61:15] >> TWO THINGS. EPHESIANS CHAPTER 6. AND THE [61:18] ARMOR OF GOD, THE SWORD OF THE WHAT? [61:21] >> THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT. THEN NOT ONLY [61:23] THAT, IN HEBREWS CHAPTER 4, WHAT DOES [61:26] THE BIBLE TELL US? THEN HEBREWS 4 TELLS [61:28] US WHAT? VERSE 12. YOUR WORD IS A [61:30] TWO-EDGED SWORD. [61:32] >> SO I HAVE NEWS FOR YOU. JESUS KNOCKS HIM [61:34] DOWN. BUT WHEN YOU LIVE A LIFE FILLED [61:36] WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT WHERE YOU GROW IN [61:38] THE WORD OF GOD, GOLIATH WILL BE DEAD [61:41] FOREVER MORE. I'M PREACHING RIGHT NOW. [61:45] ANYBODY HERE IN THIS AUDITORIUM READY TO [61:48] CONFIRM THAT THE GOLIATH THAT WAS [61:50] KNOCKED DOWN IN 2026 WILL NEVER GET BACK [61:53] UP AGAIN? [61:56] I'M GOING TO ASK ONE MORE TIME. IS THERE [61:58] ANYONE IN THIS AUDITORIUM ON A SUNDAY [62:00] MORNING THAT IS WILLING TO CONFIRM TODAY [62:03] THAT THE GOLIATH THAT WAS KNOCKED DOWN [62:06] IN 2026, EVERY LIE OF THE DEVIL THAT WAS [62:09] KNOCKED DOWN IN 2026, EVERY WORK OF THE [62:12] ENEMY THAT WAS KNOCKED DOWN IN 2026, [62:15] EVERY WORK OF THE FLESH THAT WAS KNOCKED [62:18] DOWN IN 2026, WHATEVER GOD KNOCKED DOWN [62:21] THIS YEAR WILL NEVER COME BACK UP AGAIN. [62:26] IF THAT'S YOU, I DARE YOU TO GIVE GOD [62:29] PRAISE LIKE the [62:32] If you have the stone, raise your hand. [62:34] If Jesus is your stone, raise both [62:36] hands. IF YOU HAVE THE SWORD OF THE [62:39] SPIRIT, RAISE BOTH HANDS AND A FOOT. IF [62:41] YOU HAVE THE SWORD THAT IS THE WORD OF [62:43] GOD, RAISE BOTH HANDS AND BOTH FEET. I [62:46] HAVE NEWS FOR YOU. THIS IS THE DAY THAT [62:48] YOU WILL CONFIRM THAT EVERY LYING GIANT [62:52] WILL NEVER AGAIN OCCUPY SPACE IN YOUR [62:55] FAMILY OR YOUR LIFE. IF YOU BELIEVE IT, [62:58] SAY, "AMEN." [62:59] >> MATTER OF FACT, IF YOU BELIEVE IT, I [63:01] DARE YOU TO REPEAT AFTER ME AND SAY, [63:02] "NEVER AGAIN." [63:03] >> Never again. [63:04] >> SAY IT LIKE YOU BELIEVE IT. SAY, "NEVER [63:06] AGAIN." [63:07] >> NEVER AGAIN. [63:08] >> SAY IT OUT LOUD. EVERYTHING. [63:10] >> EVERYTHING. [63:11] >> EVERYTHING. [63:12] >> EVERYTHING. [63:12] >> DEFEATED THIS YEAR. [63:15] OR IN PREVIOUS years [63:17] >> will never [63:19] >> RISE UP [63:21] >> AGAIN. [63:22] >> NOT JUST IN MY LIFE [63:24] >> BUT IN MY CHILDREN AND IN MY CHILDREN'S [63:27] CHILDREN AND IN MY CHILDREN'S CHILDREN'S [63:30] CHILDREN BECAUSE IN JESUS NAME GOLIATH [63:34] NEVER WINS. GIVE HIM PRAISE LIKE YOU [63:37] know [63:42] y'all get that. [63:44] >> IF YOU GOT THAT, RAISE YOUR HANDS. [63:48] >> THE PROBLEM IS THAT PEOPLE GET TO THIS, [63:51] >> they knock them down, but they never [63:52] confirm the kill. [63:54] >> Let me try to put a title on this [63:56] message now. 11 minutes into it. [64:00] Finish it. [64:05] Look at your neighbor. Say, "Finish [64:06] >> it." [64:08] >> Tell your other neighbor, say, "Finish [64:09] it." [64:21] >> People walk away without ever confirming [64:24] the kill. [64:26] >> Some of us celebrate when the giant [64:27] falls, but we never deal with what [64:29] allowed the giant to dominate in the [64:31] first place. [64:33] Some people experience a breakthrough [64:35] without establishing new boundaries. [64:40] >> So they experience deliverance but they [64:42] don't develop disciplehip. [64:45] >> This is what happens when you walk away [64:47] >> without confirming the kill. We [64:49] experience a moment of victory but we [64:51] don't cultivate a lifestyle of holiness. [64:55] See, before you were like, now you're [64:57] like, [65:00] >> DON'T CONFUSE A MOMENT OF BREAKTHROUGH [65:03] WITH A LIFETIME of transformation. [65:09] >> This is more of the pastoral part. [65:11] >> THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DEFEATING [65:13] SOMETHING AND FINISHING SOMETHING. [65:16] >> THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TEMPORARY [65:17] RELIEF AND PERMANENT RESOLUTION. THERE'S [65:20] A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WINNING A BATTLE [65:22] AND BRINGING THE WAR TO CLOSURE. [65:24] >> That's why JAMES 1:22, BE DOERS OF THE [65:27] WORD, [65:28] >> not just hearers of the word. [65:31] >> THAT'S IT RIGHT THERE. THAT'S THE [65:33] MESSAGE. CONFIRM IT. Confirm the kill. [65:37] FINISH IT. DON'T JUST KNOCK IT DOWN. [65:40] THERE ARE PEOPLE in churches for years [65:42] that all they do IS GO TO SERVICES, [65:44] KNOCK THE GIANT DOWN, AND WALK BACK [65:46] HOME. And they never pick up the sword [65:48] and cut off the head. [65:51] >> THEY YOU IT'S ALREADY DEAD. I KNOW BY [65:53] FAITH, BUT YOU GOT TO CONFIRM IT. YOU [65:55] WANT AND BY THE WAY, THE CUTTING OFF THE [65:57] HEAD. OH, LORD HELP US. THE CUTTING OFF [66:00] THE HEAD. WHAT DID HE DO WITH THE HEAD? [66:03] HE JUST DIDN'T CUT IT OFF. ANYBODY KNOW? [66:06] >> WHAT DID HE DO with the head? [66:08] >> YES. [66:09] >> HE LIFTED UP THE HEAD. HE ACTUALLY [66:11] EXPOSED IT TO EVERYONE. [66:13] >> IT'S NOT OVER UNTIL OTHER PEOPLE SEE. [66:17] YOU ALL DIDN'T HEAR IT. It's not over [66:21] until other people see IN YOUR LIFE THE [66:25] TRANSFORMATION THAT JESUS PAID FOR. I [66:28] don't know if you're hearing ME RIGHT [66:29] NOW. YOUR TESTIMONY IS THE EVIDENCE THAT [66:32] THE DEVIL HAS BEEN DEFEATED. YOUR [66:34] TESTIMONY IS THE PROOF THAT THE GIANT [66:37] WILL NEVER OCCUPY SPACE AGAIN IN YOUR [66:39] LIFE. SO YOU NEED TO GO PUBLIC. EVERYONE [66:42] NEEDS TO SEE IT. YOUR BROTHERS NEED TO [66:44] SEE IT. HIS BROTHERS WERE THERE. THE [66:46] ENEMIES NEED TO SEE IT. EVERY ALL YOUR [66:48] ENEMIES ARE THERE. SO DON'T JUST DEFEAT [66:51] SOMETHING AND WALK AWAY. CONFIRM THE [66:53] KILL. FINISH IT. LOOK AT YOUR NEIGHBOR [66:55] AND TELL THEM, "FINISH IT." [66:57] >> I HAVE NEWS FOR YOU. YOU'RE SAYING, [66:59] "PASTOR SAM, HOW DO I DO THIS?" WHO'S [67:02] THE STONE? ONE MORE TIME. [67:04] >> AND WHAT'S THE SWORD? THE SPIRIT AND THE [67:07] >> AND THE WORD. SO IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU, [67:10] BOO. IT'S ABOUT YOU LETTING JESUS FINISH [67:13] WHAT HE ALREADY STARTED IN YOU. COME ON. [67:16] WHAT IS ONE OF THE GREATEST FINISHED [67:18] VERSES IN ALL OF THE BIBLE? PHILIPPIANS [67:21] 1:6. HE WHO STARTED THE GOOD WORK IN YOU [67:25] IS FAITHFUL TO FINISH THE WORK THAT HE [67:28] HAS STARTED. OH, YOU'RE NOT HEARING ME. [67:30] EVERYTHING JESUS STARTED IN YOU, HE WILL [67:34] FINISH. I NEED YOU TO LOOK AT YOUR [67:36] NEIGHBOR AND TELL THEM IT'S TOO LATE [67:38] NOW. [67:39] NO, BUT TELL THEM WITH A SMILE. TELL [67:41] THEM IT'S TOO LATE NOW. TELL THEM, "I [67:43] MAY NOT BE PERFECT. I MAY NOT BE WHERE I [67:46] WANT TO BE, BUT I'M GOING TO BE HONEST [67:48] WITH YOU. IT'S TOO LATE NOW. THE MOMENT [67:51] JESUS CAME INTO MY LIFE, THE MOMENT HE [67:54] STARTS IT, HE WILL FINISH EVERYTHING [67:57] THAT HE STARTED IN MY LIFE." SOMEBODY [68:01] SHOUT LIKE IT'S TOO LATE NOW. [68:06] I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE HEARING ME. WHAT [68:07] JESUS ALREADY STARTED IN YOU, IN YOUR [68:10] FAMILY, IN YOUR MARRIAGE, IN YOUR [68:13] HEALTH, IN YOUR FINANCES, IN YOUR [68:15] CALLING, IN YOUR MINISTRY, IN YOUR [68:17] PURPOSE. THERE'S NOT A DEVIL IN HELL OR [68:20] A GIANT ON EARTH THAT CAN STOP WHAT GOD [68:24] HAS ALREADY STARTED. PRAISE LIKE IT'S [68:27] TOO LATE. [68:33] If you know it, lift up your hands. [68:35] If you know it's too late, CUZ HE WHO [68:37] STARTS THE GOOD WORK WILL FINISH WHAT he [68:40] started, lift up both hands really high. [68:42] IF GOD STARTED SOMETHING THIS YEAR IN [68:44] your life, something new, and you know [68:47] it's God and you understand God's [68:50] promises that everything he starts, he [68:52] finishes, lift him up a little bit [68:54] higher. [68:56] >> Repeat after me. It's too late now. [68:58] >> It's too late now. [69:00] >> Say, it's too late now. [69:05] Hallelujah. [69:09] >> Finish it [69:13] >> on the cross. [69:17] >> The finished work of Christ [69:19] >> is the reason Goliath never wins. [69:22] >> John 19:30. [69:25] >> He never said final words. He never said [69:27] what? I am defeated. [69:30] He never said, you know, it's all over [69:32] now. [69:34] >> He said what? [69:36] >> HE NEVER SAID I am finished. [69:43] >> HE NEVER SAID I AM FINISHED. I said he [69:46] never said I am finished. He said it is. [69:51] It is. [69:53] ANYBODY HERE GRATEFUL THAT HE FINISHED [69:55] EVERYTHING ON THE CROSS? ANYBODY HERE [69:58] GRATEFUL THAT EVERYTHING WAS PAID FOR IN [70:01] FULL ON THE CROSS? ANYBODY HERE GRATEFUL [70:04] THAT ALL YOUR SINS WERE FORGIVEN ON THE [70:07] CROSS? ANYBODY HERE GRATEFUL THAT YOUR [70:11] OWN YOU WAS CRUCIFIED ON THE CROSS. [70:14] SOMEBODY SAY, "IT IS FINISHED." [70:18] Lift up your hands. [70:20] When he said it is finished, that word [70:22] in Greek, it's a transaction. It's been [70:26] paid in full, completely done. So, I [70:29] need you to repeat after me. It is [70:31] finished. [70:31] >> It is finished. [70:32] >> Look at your neighbor. Tell them, "It is [70:34] finished." [70:35] >> Tell them, "Addiction is finished." [70:38] Say it like YOU BELIEVE IT. ADDICTION IS [70:40] FINISHED. HOPELESSNESS FINISHED. [70:43] INFERIORITY COMPLEX IS FINISHED. [70:46] INSECURITY FINISHED. THE POWER OF [70:49] GENERATIONAL CURSES. THE LIE THAT YOU [70:52] ARE BEYOND REDEMPTION. [70:54] THE BELIEF THAT YOUR PAST DETERMINES [70:56] YOUR FUTURE. THE ASSUMPTION THAT YOUR [70:59] FAMILY HISTORY MUST BECOME YOUR FAMILY'S [71:02] DESTINY. [71:04] DEPRESSION, [71:05] ANXIETY, [71:07] FEAR, [71:09] CONFUSION, [71:11] GREED, [71:12] PRIDE, [71:14] ADULTERY, [71:15] FORNICATION, [71:17] LUST, [71:19] COWARDNESS, [71:20] HATRED, [71:22] RACISM, [71:24] ENVY, [71:26] JEALOUSY, [71:27] SELFISHNESS, [71:29] AND THE LIE THAT YOUR FAILURES ARE [71:32] GREATER THAN GOD'S GRACE. [71:34] IF YOU RE, IF YOU BELIEVE IT IS [71:36] FINISHED, GIVE HIM ONE MORE SHOUT OF [71:38] PRAISE ON OUR SUNDAY MORNING. SOMEBODY [71:41] LIFT UP YOUR HANDS LIKE IT'S FINISHED. [71:43] SOMEBODY LIFT THEM UP LIKE IT'S [71:45] FINISHED. MATTER OF FACT, I DARE YOU TO [71:47] SAY IT IS FINISHED. [71:50] I SAY IT WITH ME. IT IS FINISHED. [71:53] Every lie of hell upon your life is [71:56] finished. [71:57] >> Stand with me if you're not standing [71:59] already. [72:02] It is finished. [72:05] >> He knocked them down with the stone. [72:09] >> But he confirmed it with the sword. [72:11] >> He killed them with the stone. He [72:14] confirmed it with the sword. The stone [72:16] is Jesus. But a LIFE FILLED WITH THE [72:19] SPIRIT committed to the word of God is [72:22] your perpetual confirmation [72:25] >> that Goliath will never rise up again. [72:30] Do y'all GET THAT? [72:32] >> THE STONE BROUGHT him down. The sword [72:34] confirmed the kill. [72:37] >> That's us. [72:39] >> Jesus is the stone. [72:41] >> The spirit and the word of the sword. [72:53] >> Don't leave on the battlefield what God [72:54] called you to finish. [73:01] Verse 52. [73:06] Then David ran and stood over and took [73:08] his sword. When the Now this is it, [73:10] Pastor Lauren Ditmore. When the [73:12] Philistines saw that their champion was [73:14] dead. So the confirmation. It's not just [73:16] for you and for your brothers. It's for [73:19] your enemies to know. [73:23] Y'all missed that. [73:25] It's for your enemies to know. When the [73:27] Philistines saw that their champion was [73:30] dead, they what? [73:32] >> There are things that have been [73:33] harassing you that will flee. [73:37] >> The moment they see you pick up the [73:40] sword, [73:43] the moment you show your enemies THAT [73:46] THE GOLIATHS THAT USED TO OCCUPY SPACE [73:48] AND HARASS you are no longer occupying [73:52] space because they are permanently dead. [73:55] THE MOMENT THE THE MOMENT DEPRESSION AND [73:58] ANXIETY SEE that fear IS DEAD, [74:01] >> DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY WILL FLEE. [74:08] >> And the men of Israel and Judah rose [74:10] with a with a what? [74:12] >> With a what? [74:14] >> And the men of Israel and Judah rose [74:15] with a shout. [74:17] >> So if you come to this church and go, [74:18] why do y'all shout so much? It's in the [74:19] book. [74:20] >> A lot. [74:22] >> Like a lot. Oh Lord, WITH A SHOUT AND [74:26] pursued the Philistines. [74:33] >> They plundered their camp. David took [74:35] the head of the Philistine and brought [74:36] it into Jerusalem and put his armor in [74:39] his tent. [74:41] Don't do this. Don't just knock him down [74:44] and walk away. [74:47] Stop having temporary moments of [74:50] breakthrough. [74:53] Stop. [74:55] Finish it. [74:58] >> And the only way to finish it is to pick [75:01] up the song. [75:04] Lift up your hands. [75:07] Finish it. Your testimony. [75:11] >> Your testimony. [75:13] Your testimony. Ephesians 5:8. You were [75:17] once IN DARKNESS. [75:20] NOW YOU ARE in the light. Live as [75:23] children of the light. [75:25] >> And of course, Revelation 12:11, one of [75:27] our favorite verses. And they overcame [75:32] >> and [75:34] you see, it's not just the blood. They [75:37] overcame by the blood of the lamb and [75:39] the word. [75:41] >> The stone and the sword. [75:46] >> Will your hands raise? [75:50] Let's pray the corporate prayer. [75:55] Do we have the corporate prayer media [75:57] team? There it is. Pastor Lauren, please [75:58] read that for us. Everyone, in light of [76:00] just what just happened, in light of [76:02] what just happened, and a couple things [76:04] happened, you understand that it's not [76:06] just good enough for you to knock him [76:07] down. You got to pick up the sword and [76:10] confirm the kill. [76:11] >> Finish it. [76:12] >> The great news is that if you don't have [76:14] the ability, it's not about you, boo. [76:16] It's about letting Jesus be Jesus in [76:18] you, with you, for you, and through you. [76:19] >> Come on. [76:20] >> Because everything he starts, he [76:22] >> finishes. [76:22] >> All you got to do is I give you [76:24] permission. You be you. [76:25] >> Y be you. [76:27] >> And every day you pick up the word, [76:30] which is the word and the spirit. [76:32] >> Y [76:33] >> and that's how you confirm the kill. [76:35] >> So now you're going to read this out [76:36] loud. The moment you read it out loud, [76:38] you're shouting two words. Never again. [76:41] >> Never again will Goliath rise up in your [76:43] life. [76:44] Whatever came down this year will never [76:47] occupy space ever again in your life. [76:50] Y'all believe that with me? So, you [76:52] ready? At the count of three, some of [76:54] y'all need to read it like you've never [76:56] read it before. 1 2 3 go. [76:58] >> Heavenly Father, in the mighty, [77:00] powerful, matchless name of Jesus [77:02] Christ, we come before you today. Thank [77:05] you for the finished work of the cross. [77:08] Thank you that Jesus paid the price we [77:10] could never pay. and thank you that [77:12] through his death and resurrection, sin [77:14] and death do not have the final victory. [77:17] Today we surrender every unfinished area [77:20] of our lives, every unresolved conflict, [77:23] every destructive habit, every place [77:26] where fear has replaced faith, every [77:28] place where shame has replaced grace, [77:31] every place where yesterday's bondage [77:33] has tried to dictate tomorrow's destiny. [77:36] Father, give us the courage to obey. [77:39] Give us wisdom to establish boundaries. [77:41] Give us humility to seek forgiveness. [77:44] Give us strength to walk in the freedom [77:46] that Christ has secured. And I pray over [77:49] every family represented here. LET THIS [77:52] BE A GENERATION THAT REFUSES to [77:54] perpetuate destructive cycles. THE GIANT [77:58] IS NOT just defeated. The giant is [78:01] finished in Jesus name. SOMEBODY SHOUT [78:05] AMEN. [78:10] If you got this word, raise your hand. [78:13] >> Look at me for a moment. I'm We're [78:16] early. I'm let you go right now. But [78:18] look at me for a moment. Many people in [78:21] the church live a perpetual cycle of [78:24] knocking down the giant without ever [78:26] confirming the kill. [78:29] And they find themselves fighting the [78:31] same giant because you discover that you [78:35] actually never killed it. It wasn't a [78:36] stone. It was a moment, an emotional [78:38] moment. It was a moment, but you never [78:41] really killed it. And it comes back. [78:46] >> Finish it. [78:48] >> Yes, the stone brought it down, but the [78:50] sword confirmed [78:51] >> that he would never get back up again. [78:54] >> Finish it. And Jesus Jesus is the stone [78:59] that brings him down. A life filled with [79:02] the spirit and with the word of God will [79:04] confirm he'll never get back up again. [79:07] And that's the word of the Lord. If you [79:08] received all of this, [79:10] >> give him glory. [79:12] Give him glory. [79:15] >> Romans 11:36. [79:18] >> You are my champion. [79:21] >> Lift up your hands. Sing that one time. [79:25] >> You stand undefeated. [79:28] Every battle you've won, [79:32] I am who you say I am. [79:36] You crown me with confidence and I am [79:40] seated [79:42] in the heavenly place. I'm defeated [79:46] with the one who I conquered. [79:50] >> Real quick, I'm going to dismiss you [79:52] now. Listen to me carefully. I'm going [79:53] to wrap up this series. Next Sunday, I'm [79:57] going to show you stuff. I'm not This is [80:00] all brand new. If you've been here for a [80:01] while, 20 years, some of y'all, I the [80:04] series I preached this month on a book [80:06] that I wrote that was inspired here by [80:08] the Holy Spirit. [80:09] >> I've never preached this stuff before. [80:11] Next Sunday, I'm going to preach [80:13] something on David I've never preached [80:15] on before. So, you can't miss it. I [80:17] won't give you kind of a hint. It's [80:19] years later where David is fighting [80:22] other giants. [80:23] >> Yeah. [80:24] years later. Y'all can't miss this. It's [80:27] going to just bless your life. I shared [80:29] it with Pastor Ava in the car. She [80:31] repented. I mean, she was blessed by it. [80:37] >> So, it's going to be amazing.

[81:01] >> I am going to dismiss you, [81:04] >> but I know for a fact there are people [81:05] here who have been facing the same giant [81:07] time and time again. Some of you are [81:09] going, "Pastor Sam, I've been fighting [81:11] this for years. Every time I think it's [81:13] dead, it comes right back up." If that's [81:16] you, you're going to I'm going to [81:18] dismiss you, but you're going to come [81:19] up. The elders are going to come in [81:21] agreement and pray over you. That's what [81:23] the Bible tells us in the book of James. [81:25] >> And God will fill your life in such a [81:27] way with the sword and with the spirit [81:29] that that Goliath will never rise up [81:31] again. [81:32] >> So, you've been fighting the same [81:33] Goliath because you thought it was dead, [81:35] but it came back. [81:37] Today, you're going to get out of your [81:38] seat when I dismiss you. You're going to [81:40] come up here. Maybe a family thing, a [81:42] health thing, a relationship thing, a [81:44] financial thing, a mental thing, a [81:46] spiritual thing.
