Sunday Service - 2026-11-01

Welcome to the Lansdale Life Church podcast.

If you're seeking a closer relationship with Jesus Christ, this podcast is for you.

Thank you for joining us today.

So, if you could please turn your Bibles to Acts chapter 15.

We're only looking at six verses today, finishing up chapter 15.

And today's message is, God will get his victory even when Christians disagree.

Aren't you happy about that?

Yeah, so let's pray and thank the Lord for his word.

Father God, we thank you for your word.

We thank you for how it always applies to us.

It's always sharper than a two-edged sword, piercing soul, spirit, joint, marrow,

thoughts and intentions, Lord God.

So we ask you to do that today with your powerful word.

We ask your Holy Spirit to really occupy this place

and use the word of God to really cut deep into us, Lord God,

and infuse something, a new illustration or a new illumination, Lord, of your word,

so that we can truly leave here with transformed minds.

So we thank you in Jesus' name.

So, you know, Christians disagree.

Could you attest to that?

People have always been disagreeing about so many things and Christians do so as well.

We disagree about so many things.

Halloween, right?

How your family or how you conduct yourself on Halloween.

Some people like off-limits, don't want to go near it.

You know, I'm just going to pray.

Awesome, you know, praise the Lord.

Others know I'm going to give out tracts.

Others are going to dress up like biblical characters or superheroes

or even gobbledygoops or, you know, dead people.

I don't know.

I wouldn't be suggesting that.

But, you know, we just handle Halloween differently.

And we think of things so differently.

You know, we can disagree with how our family spends money.

What church or denomination we belong to?

What how we worship?

What kind of worship music is most edifying to us?

We can disagree on theological things.

Yesterday, we had a men's breakfast.

Scott Shaw came and did an amazing job to share in the history of really mankind

and God interacting with us and talked about, you know, the rapture and tribulation and so forth.

There's so many disagreements about that.

And, you know, it's like, OK, just, you know, know about all the versions.

And in the end, we're going to be with the Lord anyway.

So that's why I don't spend a ton of time until we come to it,

you know, haggling over that because we can disagree over end times.

No, no, I'm not going up in the air when he comes.

Well, I am.

I'm going wherever he's calling me.

Whatever.

If I hear a trumpet, I'm going.

OK, I'm assuming he's calling me.

So but, you know, we can disagree about so many things.

Our favorite, you know, podcast or preacher or so forth, you know,

we can disagree about so many things, you know, and it's just

and it's always been that way, by the way, you know, Jesus's own disciples.

OK, how many times did they disagree?

No, I'm the greatest.

No, I'm the greatest.

You know, and then they disagree.

Who's going to be the greatest in the kingdom of God?

Like, you know, we're going to we're going to argue about that, too.

Someday, you know, who's going to be greater than arguing about, hey,

how dare you?

You're not allowed to cast out that demon.

You're not one of us.

OK, I mean, just disagreement, you know, and and Jesus was always

correcting him that.

How about Peter disagreeing with Jesus?

You know, you're not going to wash my feet.

Well, you better think differently because unless I wash your feet,

you won't be clean.

Oh, then bathe the whole body.

You know, I mean, Peter is always you're not going to Jerusalem.

They're going to kill you there.

How dare you?

He's rebuking Jesus.

You know, people are just going to disagree all the time.

And you would think with the Holy Spirit, which we all have,

praise the Lord, that you would think we would disagree less.

You know, but not always.

Right.

And in fact, last week we read about Christians disagreeing

about circumcision.

No, these new Gentiles have to follow Mosaic laws.

They got to do all the things that we do as Jews.

And there was a couple of disagreements down in Antioch,

in Jerusalem, you know, disagreements, you know,

and you would think that wouldn't be.

Well, today we're going to read about a disagreement that

is well-studied.

And so many people point to this story as like an example

of disagreements.

And what makes it so astounding is that these are two

well-respected, God-fearing, God-loving, mature believers

who partnered together.

In fact, Barnabas brought Paul into the church family.

You know, he was his mentor and he was his encourager.

And now they're going to disagree to such a degree

that they would part ways.

Okay.

And we're just going to look at that.

And we're also going to look ahead what will happen

in the future, because here they were probably so seething

with disagreement and judgment on each other.

And then later on, we're going to just see how it all

reconciles.

And maybe we can take note to this so that we don't get

so caught up in our opinions.

You ever notice, I don't know, the older I get, the more

I realize I need to be listening more.

You know, in fact, the word says that, doesn't, you know,

listen more, use fewer words, listen more, speak less,

you know, because the wrath of man does not bring

God's righteousness, right?

And so really just to listen, you know, we just need

to listen to each other.

So we're going to dive into Acts chapter 15.

And we're just going to read from verses 36 to 41.

So let's dive in.

Then after some days, Paul said to Barnabas,

let us now go back and visit our brethren in every city

where we have preached the word of the Lord

and see how they are doing.

Now, Barnabas was determined to take with them

John called Mark, that's John Mark, his cousin.

But Paul insisted that they should not take with them

the one who had departed from them in Pamphylia

and had not gone with them to the work.

And then the contention became so sharp that they

parted from one another.

And so Barnabas took Mark and sailed to Cyprus.

But Paul chose Silas and departed, being commended

by the brethren to the grace of God.

And he went through Syria and Cilicia,

strengthening the churches.

So there's a split.

If you've ever been through a church split,

I guess this is kind of the first church split

we're seeing two people splitting up.

And if you can recall, let's show that first.

Hi, JT, by the way.

Let's look at this first slide.

This is a map of their first, I gotta get closer.

The first missionary journey when Paul Barnabas

and John Mark left from Antioch and went first to Cyprus.

Okay, everything was hunky-dory.

Then they get to Perga of Pamphylia.

And suddenly, we don't know why, but John Mark bailed on them.

He went back home to Jerusalem.

That's where he was from.

And we don't know why.

It doesn't say why, okay?

And so meanwhile, Paul and Barnabas went on through that journey.

And this is right around where he got stoned,

left for dead, and the saints gathered around him

and he bounced back up and walked back into Lystra.

There's some guts for you, right?

And so here, John Mark left, okay?

And so Barnabas, being an encourager,

second chances, being one who sees potential in people,

being related to John Mark says,

you know, come on, let's bring him.

He learned a lot since then, supposedly, right?

In fact, it had been probably about almost three years

since John Mark chickened out on the mission trail, okay?

I mean, three years, a lot can happen in three years, right?

I know in my life, I mean,

doesn't the Lord change you year by year, day by day?

I mean, thank God for that.

So we all mature in different ways.

And so Barnabas was saying, no, let's bring him.

And of course, Paul was saying, no way.

And, you know, can you blame him?

You know, Paul was stoned and left for dead.

I believe he died, you know,

because Paul talks about deaths often, you know?

Perhaps he even literally died

and they brought him back to life through prayer, right?

And so if you were him and you're thinking,

you want me to bring someone who's going to bail out

on the most critical times, you know,

when there's a lot of things to be fearful of,

you know, and he just didn't trust bringing John Mark, okay?

So they had a difference of opinions.

And so they split up and we have that second slide.

And this is the next journey that Paul is going to travel.

Okay, that's the end of the trip.

He travels from Antioch and he brings,

as we just read, Silas, right?

And he goes along from city to city to city, okay?

But Barnabas brought John Mark and went to Cyprus.

Now, why would he go to Cyprus first?

Well, we don't know for sure,

but we know that that's where they started the journey,

the first missions trip, right?

So maybe he wanted John Mark to say,

okay, remember we got here before, okay?

Are you good? Good.

Not only that, but actually Barnabas was from Cyprus.

So he was bringing John Mark really back home

to his home, okay?

And probably when he got there,

he introduced him to family members

and he made him feel comfortable.

And you know what I picked up on that?

It's interesting, missions.

You know, people hear missionary's come

and share about these cool adventures.

You know, probably when you hear PB, you know,

Bill Devlin preaching about Nigeria,

you're thinking, yeah, I want to do something like that.

Maybe not there, okay?

It's pretty dangerous there, but somewhere else,

like I want to be an adventurer.

Well, you know, it kind of starts at home, doesn't it?

Like a lot of people think they want to be that guy.

And yet your mission field is always all around you.

Okay. It doesn't have to start out there.

It can just start here.

And I wonder if part of that was, you know, Barnabas saying,

you know, let's just, let's take it slow.

Let's go back to my hometown and we can try again.

Because that's, he wants to encourage John Mark

to get well acclimated, get his feet wet again, right?

And I think for us, you know, if you're ever thinking that way

about, you know, what would it have been

if I could have gone on a trip to here,

there and the other place?

And I get a lot of invitations to like Nepal.

And I just think of a journey and I think

I might be in selfish Lord, you know?

I mean, why don't I want to go to Nepal

and climb, you know, tens of thousands of feet high mountains

and through villages and, you know,

and teach through a translator and, you know,

oh, you know, so my, I don't know.

The Lord will reconcile that.

But I have things to do here, you know?

Or PB is always saying, come to Nigeria,

come to Cuba, come to these places.

And I'm like, you know,

but we can really minister wherever we are.

So, you know, first Fridays,

we always encourage people, just check it out.

Come on out with us.

City Hall.

Jerry Dover is right there, right?

Give a little wave, Jerm, okay?

He said, just to mess with me today, he says,

you know what, I want your blessing.

I'm going to wear nail polish next Sunday.

Do I have your blessing on half your year last Sunday?

You know what I'm talking about.

But anyway, and I said, absolutely.

Not, no.

But anyway, but you can see Jerry,

if you want to check out the City Hall ministry.

And it's fun.

It's easy in terms of, you know,

they have everything set up.

I just think we should start easy.

You know, why throw our,

probably John Mark wasn't ready for it, right?

He had never been out of Jerusalem, probably, right?

That's where his hometown was, Jerusalem.

And he's going to a land with people that he's like,

that weren't Jewish at all,

had different cultures, different Gods.

And he's probably like, man, I'm not in Kansas anymore.

You know, I'm not in Jerusalem anymore, right?

So we can understand how this dispute formed, you know?

You know, when we talked about,

like a lot of arguments and disagreements

probably do stem from pride.

You know, like we just,

we're talking about the disciples.

I'm the greatest.

No, I'm the great, you know, all this.

You can't do that.

You're not one of us.

All this pride.

But I think a lot of times it's personalities, isn't it?

You know, it's just personalities.

Like some people are more like in the box thinkers, okay?

Like, no, this is where it's at, right here.

Because we can control it, we understand it.

And then other people are like,

I don't want to be in the box.

I don't want to be all the way out here.

And I'm like, I don't want anywhere but the box, okay?

I got to just, I want, I have to dream.

I have to, you know, fascinate about things, you know?

And really, probably truth is found in all of it, you know?

Like we really need each other, you know?

That's why we're new wineskins, to be flexible, you know?

And I just find more and more,

like if you're all extreme in one area,

probably you have a blind spot, okay?

And maybe someone else can share with you

the benefits of being in the box and vice versa.

If we're just rigid,

and Paul was probably a rigid guy, can we just admit it?

He was religious, okay?

Hyper-religious, he says it himself, okay?

And he liked knowing the guardrails.

He liked everything being predictable, okay?

In a sense.

And yet at the same time, over time, he was transforming.

The Lord was transforming his thinking.

And he was realizing more and more things.

I can just show you one quick example.

Probably a year, well, probably three years after this, okay?

After this missions trip he's going on,

they're back in Antioch again.

They're having this big conference, okay?

And Peter, you know, Peter and James,

or at least people from James,

like the church leadership in Jerusalem.

These are the most important people, right?

In Christendom, they come down to Antioch.

Really, it's up, but it's down because it's lower elevations.

So they come to Antioch and they're looking at everything

and they're saying, you know, this is great.

And Peter gets there early.

He's hanging out with the Gentiles.

He's like, man, I was waiting for this day

that you would finally come to Christ

and he's enjoying his meal with them.

And they're eating, they're having a great time.

Suddenly, the rest of the Jerusalemites show up

and they were still sorting this Gentile thing out, okay?

Like, you know, I know they don't think it's circumcised,

but they're still living in the things that we're doing, right?

And they're still, because they're in Jerusalem.

That's all you see, right, is structure, you know?

And still, all around you are the same scenes

that you grew up under, which was the law, the Mosaic law.

And so, they're still sorting out this freedom

and they get to Antioch and when they get there,

suddenly Peter's like, yeah,

so have a great time during this conference, okay?

I'm going to sit over here, okay?

Suddenly, he's sitting with his fellow Jews from Jerusalem, okay?

And you're like, well, what's wrong with that?

But Paul doesn't like that.

Like, what's this sudden shift in your behavior?

Like, why do you have to sit with them now

and not these guys, the Gentiles?

And he talks about this in Galatians 2, verses 11.

He says, now when Peter had come to Antioch,

I withstood him to his face because he was to be blamed.

For before certain men came from James,

he would eat with the Gentiles.

But when they came, he withdrew and separated himself,

fearing those who were of the circumcision.

And the rest of the Jews also played the hypocrite with him

so that even Barnabas was carried away.

By the way, by then they were friends again, okay?

Carried away with their hypocrisy.

But when I saw that they were not straightforward

about the truth of the gospel,

I said to Peter before them all.

Now, I know some of you are probably saying,

good, set him straight.

Who does he think he is?

This hypocrite, okay?

But I kind of also see things a little differently.

Now, you're trying to foster this new creation mindset,

this freedom to the Pharisees, okay?

Those who are still coming out of religion,

you know, let's just take this a little slow.

And Paul's just like, you hypocrite, look at you.

I saw what you were doing before they got it.

Like he's calling them out.

Now, I'm not saying he wasn't right,

but I'm just saying we could be sensitive to dynamics, right?

And was it great that he called Peter, Peter, right?

The rock out in front of all of them?

Or wasn't there other ways?

Now, I don't know, okay?

And I'll be straightening out in heaven.

But in the meantime, everything in life is that way, isn't it?

Sometimes it's how you handle things are so much more important.

Yeah, hey, Peter, like, how are we going to navigate?

I know you're doing this.

Like, what am I going to tell my friends, the Gentiles,

why you're suddenly not sitting with them?

Like a discussion.

But here we go.

This is what he says he did, you know?

But what I love, okay, is when you read deep in Scripture,

how you suddenly see how things reconcile

if you're paying attention.

And I just love probably 15 years, at least,

after all of that you just read, okay?

Because I don't know how it ended with them,

but how Peter wrote about Paul with such honor and admiration.

He says this in 2 Peter chapter 3, verses 15 to 16.

He says, and consider what the long suffering of our Lord is salvation,

as also our beloved brother Paul,

according to the wisdom given to him,

has written to you as also in all his epistles,

speaking in them of these things in which

are some things hard to understand.

I mean, Paul can be difficult to track sometimes, can he?

Which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction

as they do also the rest of Scripture.

So, you see, they were friends.

They had a disagreement.

But over time you realize, you know,

we're all sometimes a little off from the perfect.

We just have to be in the spirit

and really think the best of each other

and really work on that unity, you know?

So, you know, Paul refused to go with them,

or you notice he avoided Cyprus.

If they're going to Cyprus, I'm not going to Cyprus, right?

But in the end, it's great to see by,

do you know by the third missionary journey,

we just talked about they're starting the second one.

By the third missionary journey, only a couple years later,

he and Mark are like this.

He was probably saying, you know what, Barnabas,

I'm so glad that you trained up,

that you invested in John Mark.

Here's some of the things he says.

If you can put up Colossians 4.10 with 2 Timothy 4.11.

If you could put the next slide up.

Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner greets you with Mark,

the cousin of Barnabas, about whom you received instructions.

If he comes to you, welcome him.

He also says in another place, only Luke is with me.

Get Mark and bring him with you,

for he is useful to me for ministry.

He writes to Philemon that, you know,

Mark is one of my inner circle guys.

You know, he's one of my travelers.

Isn't it so wonderful to see reconciliation

over after what was a dispute?

You know, God can do that.

When we disagree, we have to say,

yeah, but Lord, what are you going to do with this?

Like, how are you going to reconcile this?

Because he gets the victory.

He wants to be successful.

And if he can't use you to do it,

he's going to use someone else,

or he'll override all of us.

And do it on his own, okay?

But if we're just willing to yield,

in fact, James talks about wisdom from above is yielding,

you know, and gentle, and listen.

So anyway, so what are we to take from all this?

Before we take communion,

I think there's three good things we can remember

about all this.

And three things to remember.

How about the first one?

Everyone has a blind spot.

Do you have a blind spot?

We all have blind spots, right?

Where we don't see our own weakness or naivety,

consider other Godly opinions.

I love what Proverbs 11, 14 says,

where there is no counsel that people fail,

but in the multitude of counselors, there is safety.

You know, we as elders, I share this a lot,

how we talk it through.

We pray it while we pray a ton in the beginning,

and then we talk it through.

And a lot of times, we don't have all the same

exact opinions with each other,

but we sort it out and just wait for God

to bring some kind of unity.

And sometimes we'll say, you know, well,

if that's what everyone else believes or trusts,

then, you know, I'll yield to that,

because, you know, let's see what God does with this.

So it's okay to realize that all of us

have a blind spot.

You know, perhaps my blind spot,

in fact, early on in ministry,

I'll just be admitted,

like I was just so inclusive,

so inclusive.

And I still am.

I mean, the Lord hasn't beat that out of me,

but just so like, you know,

if I can do this, anybody can do this.

And I was just like, hey, you know,

and just very without maybe being

as sensitive to the spirits leading on it.

And, you know, sometimes you run into a rough patch

because you're just so like, you know,

yeah, why don't you do this?

Why don't you do that?

And you're like, without maybe

necessarily being discerning, you know, discernment.

And so we all, you know, have blind spots.

Other people are just hyper kind of,

they come from more of a legalistic,

and I wasn't legalistic ever.

So more of a legalistic kind of,

no, no, you know, it has to be like this,

and we need to make sure.

And they're more of that.

That's not wrong.

It's like, how can we yield?

How can we bring this together?

You know what I mean?

Because maybe we do need more discernment

and safety and security.

At the same time being, you know,

flexible wine skins,

being open to see what God does.

I mean, being excited about what God is doing, right?

Somewhere it's in the middle.

You know, life is so much about balance, isn't it?

You can get just so much over here

and before you know it, you're like,

oh, this is a mess, you know?

And then you go back the other way.

That's how people do a lot.

And then all of a sudden,

now it's like a seesaw, right?

Now I'm over here.

But balance is so important in life, isn't it?

So what's another thing we can remember?

Be okay to part ways.

You know, perhaps you will merge again,

like Paul did with Barnabas and with John Mark, right?

They reunited with Peter.

Like it was, you know,

but there might be a season that this is saying,

all right, yeah, I don't think we can fix this issue between us.

So for now, let's just part ways in this particular work

and see what happens later, you know?

And, you know, I love being wrong

when my view is, you know, pessimistic.

I'm like, I hope I'm wrong, you know?

Because I don't want to be right about some things, you know?

I want to be wrong, you know?

And that's okay.

But we must be like-minded to serve together.

I mean, there's some churches, quite honestly,

we would never serve with, ever, okay?

I mean, their whole theology, everything is just so

contaminated with man's lustful desires in no way,

but other ones we can, you know?

And so, you know, we just have to realize that,

you know, sometimes we need to part ways.

And then the final thing to remember

is we are on God's mission, not our own, you know?

I mean, did you notice Barnabas took the mainland?

I'm still going to serve.

I don't have to go with you, I'm still going to serve, okay?

And what did Barnabas say?

Paul, you're missing it.

I'm going this way.

But what did they do?

They kept serving.

They kept going, right?

They kept serving God because all of us are on a mission.

And it's not our own, it's God's.

So, I get really sad when I hear people say,

oh, you know, yeah, I used to do this,

I used to do that.

But, you know, church hurt, like that's a phrase.

What's church hurt?

I've never had church hurt, praise the Lord.

Okay, I just, I love my church experience.

And, you know, not that anyone was ever perfect

because none of us are, and they weren't, right?

But you just, you know, it's why lay on God's God

the responsibility of how you were hurt by people, okay?

You're still on a mission.

You're not off the job.

You're always on the job, okay?

And it's a good job, right?

To serve the Lord.

And so, you know, just keep going and keep moving.

So, let's bring the communion elements up, please.

This will tell a little story while they're bringing it around.

And if the worship team could come up, too.

Thank you guys for doing this.

Appreciate it, delivering the communion.

You know, our, I know I told this story before,

but you probably weren't listening or forget.

So I'm gonna tell it again.

That's the good thing.

You can bank on people not listening the previous time.

Maybe they'll listen this time.

But anyway, no, I got one there.

But when we were, you know,

we knew the people who had this church before.

Love them, you know?

And Pastor Amanda, what a gracious lady she was.

And she let us use this place for a couple of months.

And, you know, we helped out, you know,

paid rent and stuff.

But, you know, it was a real blessing to us.

And then over time, we asked, hey, we said,

can we use your kitchen?

Because we were nomads back then.

We didn't have any stable place to go.

And we said, you have a great kitchen.

Can we have a Christmas meal on Christmas Day

for the needy, the homeless?

And it was just awesome.

I still want to do it again, but I'm getting some pushback.

Not, anyway.

No, we got a vote on it.

Would you show up on a Christmas day?

I don't know.

There's not a lot of hands, a couple.

But Ben, you were the cook.

You were the chef, right?

So anyway, so we had a Christmas meal here, okay?

And then about a year or two later,

we reached out to this church.

We said, hey, you want to do it again?

Yeah, we were hoping you'd call.

Do you want to do it here again?

Yeah, that's great.

We still had no home building.

And so we did it again.

And what they did was they would help us serve food.

And we would do the music.

We would do the preaching.

And it was really, the Lord was using our church to really,

as the engine, and they were helping out.

And no offense, but some just denominations

are forgetting the gospel, right?

They just forget that Jesus Christ saves.

Without Him, you got nothing, right?

It's just another nice place to be.

It's Jesus Christ, right?

So then another time, I reached out and I said,

yeah, you know what?

Yeah, I'm glad you reached out.

So do you want to help us out this year?

I'm like, help you out.

That seems like a different tone, okay?

And I'm like, well, what do you mean?

Well, yeah, we're not going to do

the whole program this Christmas.

We're just going to do the meal.

And I'm like, what do you mean by the program?

You know, the speaking and the music,

like the everything, like the gospel.

Oh, so we want to just leave Jesus out of Christmas.

So we're just going to have a mess, okay?

We're going to miss.

We'll have a mess, I guess.

I don't know.

And I'm like, yeah, no, no, we're not going to do that.

You know?

And I remember just so sad because the guy,

I just love the guy and I don't think it was his decision.

In fact, it almost seemed like he was a little ashamed

as he was telling me, you know?

And I just remember saying,

Lord, why do these denominations have such cool buildings

and they're dead inside?

Can't you get us one of them, Lord?

Here we are.

You know, because the Lord snuffed out.

He moved their lampstand.

You're reading Revelation, you know?

If you keep up with what you're doing or not doing,

I'll remove your lampstand.

Well, the lampstand has been removed.

I wish he would go around to all the churches

that aren't preaching the gospel and say,

yeah, your time has ended.

We're going to give this to another church

that preaches the gospel.

It's all about Jesus Christ, amen?

And so, you know, yeah,

so we were on that journey with them,

but it's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And we never came back together because they missed it.

They missed it.

You know, as long as we're all focused on Jesus Christ,

we can get past so many disagreements

and realize, yeah, that's your style.

This is my style.

Okay, I'm not judging you.

You're not judging me.

We're going to the same place.

As long as they know that Jesus Christ

is the Son of God

and the only one who can take away sins.

It's only him.

Any other gospel, as Paul says, is witchcraft.

It's a lie.

It's, well, maybe I'll be good enough.

No, you won't.

I could, trust me, you won't be good enough.

It's Jesus Christ and him alone.

Narrow is the way that enters into heaven,

but vast and wide is the pathway

that leads to destruction.

And many pass through it.

Few find an arrow way.

Many pass through the wide gate of destruction.

That's like scary, isn't it?

That means most of the world is lost

and in need of knowing the Savior, Jesus Christ.

So as we have this communion,

we just celebrate what he did for us

on the cross.

As you look at this bread, you think,

you know, he became sin on the cross

so that we could be the righteousness of Christ.

So Father God, we thank you for this bread.

If anyone does not know you

as their Lord and Savior right now,

we pray right now

that they would just cry out to you

either audibly or in their heart

that they would surrender their life to you right now.

In Jesus' name and Father God,

we thank you for your beloved son

in whom you are well pleased.

You see it at the right hand of the Father right now.

And as we eat this bread,

we do what you told us to do.

We do this in remembrance of you.

Amen. Let's eat.

Without the shedding of blood,

there is no remission of sins.

Father God, we thank you

that you said yours is the only blood

that we can drink.

All other blood is forgiven

because it's contaminated, Lord.

As we drink this cup,

we really envision that it's your blood

that's pouring into us

to give us new creation life.

Lord God, we ask you right now

as we drink this cup

that you would purge us of any selves

that you did not design for us to have.

Anyone who has cancer in this place

as we drink this cup,

we ask you, Lord, to heal us

of any cancers, Lord God.

As we drink this cup, Lord God,

we ask you to heal

any ailments that we might have, Lord God.

We drink this cup because you are pure.

You are pure.

Lord God, as we drink this cup,

we ask you to heal any financial crisis

that we might find ourselves in, Lord.

Lord, we drink this cup asking you

to bring prosperity to our lives,

to our families, Lord God,

to our relationships.

As we drink this cup, Lord God,

we receive your life in us.

And Lord, we want to live your life.

And we thank you in Jesus' name.

Amen.

Let's drink.

So you guys ready to worship?

Man, this is an amazing...

Can we give the Lord a thank?

Thank all flames

for this amazing worship team

that the Lord has anointed us.

And there's so many teams

that the Lord has blessed us with.

And let's all stand up and worship.

Father God, we thank you

that you are large and in charge.

You are victorious, Lord God.

And we pray that we would never

get in the way of that,

that we would love people more

than we disagree with them in opinions

and things that are so less priority

than seeing you glorified

on earth as you are in heaven.

And we thank you in Jesus' name.

Amen.

Praise the Lord.
