Pastor Rick's Daily Hope | Do You Really Want To Grow Up Part 2 | March 20, 2022
- ...
- 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:01.316
- ♪♪♪
- 00:00:01.917 --> 00:00:18.200
- Pastor Rick Warren: In order to grow, you have to develop good
- 00:00:20.335 --> 00:00:22.438
- habits in your life.
- 00:00:22.438 --> 00:00:24.440
- You are the sum total of your habits.
- 00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:27.042
- If you have bad habits, then you're gonna have bad character.
- 00:00:27.042 --> 00:00:29.745
- If you have good habits, you're gonna have good character.
- 00:00:29.745 --> 00:00:31.947
- Your habits determine your character and your character
- 00:00:31.947 --> 00:00:34.516
- determines your destiny.
- 00:00:34.516 --> 00:00:37.920
- You can't say, for instance, that you have the character
- 00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:40.155
- quality of kindness unless you are habitually kind.
- 00:00:40.155 --> 00:00:44.860
- That means it's predictable.
- 00:00:44.860 --> 00:00:46.895
- You're always kind.
- 00:00:46.895 --> 00:00:48.363
- You can't say you have the character quality of courage
- 00:00:48.363 --> 00:00:50.966
- unless you are habitually-- it is your habit to always
- 00:00:50.966 --> 00:00:54.036
- be courageous.
- 00:00:54.036 --> 00:00:55.737
- You can't say that you're honest unless you are
- 00:00:55.737 --> 00:00:57.773
- habitually honest.
- 00:00:57.773 --> 00:00:59.141
- You're honest all the time.
- 00:00:59.141 --> 00:01:01.743
- If I were to say, "I'm faithful to my wife," and then I say,
- 00:01:01.743 --> 00:01:06.215
- Honey, "I'll be faithful to you 28 days a month," well, that's
- 00:01:06.215 --> 00:01:10.986
- not faithfulness.
- 00:01:10.986 --> 00:01:12.588
- Partial faithfulness is unfaithfulness.
- 00:01:12.588 --> 00:01:16.125
- Partial obedience is disobedience.
- 00:01:16.125 --> 00:01:18.861
- It means you do it all the time.
- 00:01:18.861 --> 00:01:20.195
- It's your habit.
- 00:01:20.195 --> 00:01:21.563
- If you want to grow in any skill in life, you've gotta develop
- 00:01:21.563 --> 00:01:25.467
- good habits.
- 00:01:25.467 --> 00:01:27.369
- You've gotta develop good-- now, we introduce these habits in
- 00:01:27.369 --> 00:01:30.339
- class 201.
- 00:01:30.339 --> 00:01:32.875
- And there there are dozens of 'em, but in this 40 days, we're
- 00:01:32.875 --> 00:01:37.412
- going to focus on four.
- 00:01:37.412 --> 00:01:39.948
- And we're gonna repeat them over and over, because how do you
- 00:01:39.948 --> 00:01:42.417
- develop a habit in life?
- 00:01:42.417 --> 00:01:44.887
- By repetition, okay.
- 00:01:44.887 --> 00:01:47.823
- By repetition and by practice.
- 00:01:47.823 --> 00:01:50.092
- You do it over and over.
- 00:01:50.092 --> 00:01:51.426
- Like I said, it takes doin' something every day for six
- 00:01:51.426 --> 00:01:53.695
- weeks before it gets ingrained.
- 00:01:53.695 --> 00:01:56.565
- The difference between successful people and
- 00:01:56.565 --> 00:01:58.767
- unsuccessful people is their habits.
- 00:01:58.767 --> 00:02:01.503
- I know a lot of successful people, I know a lot of
- 00:02:01.503 --> 00:02:04.173
- unsuccessful people, and the difference is successful people
- 00:02:04.173 --> 00:02:07.209
- are willing to develop habits that the unsuccessful people are
- 00:02:07.209 --> 00:02:10.112
- not willing to develop.
- 00:02:10.112 --> 00:02:12.414
- Nobody gets to the Olympics just hoping that it'll happen.
- 00:02:12.414 --> 00:02:17.419
- There's a lot of discipline and a lot of habits.
- 00:02:17.419 --> 00:02:20.022
- Yesterday, I was reading the story of Tom Brady.
- 00:02:20.022 --> 00:02:23.959
- You know, quarterback for Green Bay-- Green Bay?
- 00:02:23.959 --> 00:02:30.199
- On the West Coast, we shouldn't even mention this name, okay?
- 00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:32.634
- But anyway, Tom Brady is the oldest quarterback in the NFL.
- 00:02:32.634 --> 00:02:38.340
- He's also the most successful in the history of the NFL.
- 00:02:38.340 --> 00:02:41.910
- He was playing football before some of the guys he's playing
- 00:02:41.910 --> 00:02:45.614
- with were born.
- 00:02:45.614 --> 00:02:48.250
- How in the world can Tom Brady be so successful year after
- 00:02:48.250 --> 00:02:51.553
- year after year after year after year?
- 00:02:51.553 --> 00:02:55.791
- I read yesterday his list of habits.
- 00:02:55.791 --> 00:02:59.127
- He is ruthless.
- 00:02:59.127 --> 00:03:00.762
- He is disciplined in doing these habits.
- 00:03:00.762 --> 00:03:03.398
- What-- he gets up and the first thing he does, drink 20 ounces
- 00:03:03.398 --> 00:03:06.034
- of water every day, and on and on and on, and he's got all
- 00:03:06.034 --> 00:03:08.904
- kinds of habits.
- 00:03:08.904 --> 00:03:10.239
- He's willing to do things that the younger guys aren't willing
- 00:03:10.239 --> 00:03:13.308
- to do, and he still outplays them.
- 00:03:13.308 --> 00:03:17.746
- If you want to grow in life, if you want to be successful in
- 00:03:17.746 --> 00:03:20.115
- life, you have to develop good habits, and so we're going to
- 00:03:20.115 --> 00:03:23.118
- help you develop good habits in life.
- 00:03:23.118 --> 00:03:25.654
- Now, how do you do that?
- 00:03:25.654 --> 00:03:27.022
- Well, look at these.
- 00:03:27.022 --> 00:03:28.357
- John 13, verse 17, Jesus says, "Now that you know these
- 00:03:28.357 --> 00:03:32.361
- things," all his stuff Jesus said, "I've taught you," "you'll
- 00:03:32.361 --> 00:03:35.230
- be blessed if you," what?
- 00:03:35.230 --> 00:03:38.867
- Circle that, "Practice them."
- 00:03:38.867 --> 00:03:41.570
- You don't get blessed in your life by knowing the Bible.
- 00:03:41.570 --> 00:03:46.275
- You get blessed in life by practicing the Bible.
- 00:03:46.275 --> 00:03:49.945
- You don't get blessed in your career or your marriage or
- 00:03:49.945 --> 00:03:52.614
- your finances by simply knowing what the Bible says about it.
- 00:03:52.614 --> 00:03:56.852
- Even the devil knows what the Bible says.
- 00:03:56.852 --> 00:03:58.987
- You get blessed by practicing it.
- 00:03:58.987 --> 00:04:01.723
- Now, what does it mean to practice?
- 00:04:01.723 --> 00:04:03.091
- It means you develop habits.
- 00:04:03.091 --> 00:04:05.827
- What happens when you practice good habits?
- 00:04:05.827 --> 00:04:07.729
- You grow up.
- 00:04:07.729 --> 00:04:09.064
- Look at the next verse.
- 00:04:09.064 --> 00:04:10.432
- Hebrews chapter 5 tells us this in verse 14, "Solid food is for
- 00:04:10.432 --> 00:04:15.871
- mature people."
- 00:04:15.871 --> 00:04:17.606
- What is a mature person?
- 00:04:17.606 --> 00:04:18.974
- Next line, "Whose minds have been trained by practice."
- 00:04:18.974 --> 00:04:24.846
- In other words, they've developed good habits in
- 00:04:24.846 --> 00:04:26.381
- their life.
- 00:04:26.381 --> 00:04:27.716
- "Whose minds have been trained by practice to know the
- 00:04:27.716 --> 00:04:30.218
- difference between good and evil."
- 00:04:30.218 --> 00:04:32.754
- When you are a mature believer, you're a mature Christian, you
- 00:04:32.754 --> 00:04:38.427
- know the difference between good and evil.
- 00:04:38.427 --> 00:04:39.795
- You don't have to go, "Hmm, I wonder if that's right or not."
- 00:04:39.795 --> 00:04:42.097
- You just know.
- 00:04:42.097 --> 00:04:43.465
- Why?
- 00:04:43.465 --> 00:04:44.800
- Because your mind has been trained by practice.
- 00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:46.501
- It's like treasury agents for the United States, you know,
- 00:04:46.501 --> 00:04:49.571
- Mint and the Treasury.
- 00:04:49.571 --> 00:04:52.541
- They don't-- when they're teaching them how to spot
- 00:04:52.541 --> 00:04:56.411
- counterfeit, they don't give them counterfeit dollars.
- 00:04:56.411 --> 00:04:59.214
- They don't even show 'em to 'em.
- 00:04:59.214 --> 00:05:01.116
- They train a treasury agent by giving them the real thing.
- 00:05:01.116 --> 00:05:04.686
- And they practice looking at that $10, $50, $100 bill, and
- 00:05:04.686 --> 00:05:09.691
- they study it, and they learn it, and they memorize it, and
- 00:05:09.691 --> 00:05:12.060
- they meditate on it, and they look at it, and they live
- 00:05:12.060 --> 00:05:14.963
- with it.
- 00:05:14.963 --> 00:05:16.331
- So they know the true dollar bill so well, when they see a
- 00:05:16.331 --> 00:05:19.768
- fake, they go, "Pfft, that's fake."
- 00:05:19.768 --> 00:05:22.070
- How do you know?
- 00:05:22.070 --> 00:05:23.438
- Well, I know what the real thing looks like.
- 00:05:23.438 --> 00:05:24.773
- That's fake.
- 00:05:24.773 --> 00:05:26.141
- Well, how do you know?
- 00:05:26.141 --> 00:05:27.476
- I know because I've practiced looking at the real thing.
- 00:05:27.476 --> 00:05:30.979
- I don't even have to guess.
- 00:05:30.979 --> 00:05:32.314
- That's a fake.
- 00:05:32.314 --> 00:05:33.682
- That's a phony dollar bill.
- 00:05:33.682 --> 00:05:35.016
- That's a phony $50 bill.
- 00:05:35.016 --> 00:05:36.385
- 'Cause I know what the real thing looks like.
- 00:05:36.385 --> 00:05:37.753
- The problem with a lot of Christians, they don't know what
- 00:05:37.753 --> 00:05:39.321
- the real thing looks like.
- 00:05:39.321 --> 00:05:42.824
- They haven't spent enough time with God in the Bible.
- 00:05:42.824 --> 00:05:47.195
- "Solid food's for mature people whose minds have been trained by
- 00:05:47.195 --> 00:05:50.232
- practice," that's habits, "to know the difference between good
- 00:05:50.232 --> 00:05:53.969
- and evil."
- 00:05:53.969 --> 00:05:56.772
- Look at this next verse.
- 00:05:56.772 --> 00:05:58.707
- The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 9:25, "All good athletes train
- 00:05:58.707 --> 00:06:02.911
- hard and practice to get better.
- 00:06:02.911 --> 00:06:07.416
- They do it to win a prize that won't last.
- 00:06:07.416 --> 00:06:11.153
- But we practice to win a prize that will last forever!"
- 00:06:11.153 --> 00:06:16.491
- The habits we're gonna work on together in the next 40 days
- 00:06:16.491 --> 00:06:21.563
- will last you the rest of your life.
- 00:06:21.563 --> 00:06:23.765
- Maybe you did those in the past, but you got out of shape.
- 00:06:23.765 --> 00:06:27.102
- You stopped practicing them.
- 00:06:27.102 --> 00:06:28.470
- You let these things fall by the wayside.
- 00:06:28.470 --> 00:06:30.439
- It's time to renew, it's time to restore, time to refresh.
- 00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:35.911
- And so God says, "I want you to develop strength by practicing
- 00:06:35.911 --> 00:06:41.783
- what's right."
- 00:06:41.783 --> 00:06:43.118
- Now, during 40 days, notice there on your outline, we're
- 00:06:43.118 --> 00:06:45.053
- gonna practice four different kinds of habits.
- 00:06:45.053 --> 00:06:50.625
- And there is the habit there of weekly large group worship.
- 00:06:50.625 --> 00:06:57.065
- That's what we're doing right now.
- 00:06:57.065 --> 00:06:59.034
- And then there's the habit of small group fellowship.
- 00:06:59.034 --> 00:07:02.103
- That's what you do in homes or at the office or with another
- 00:07:02.103 --> 00:07:05.540
- small group of people, anywhere from two, three, five, up to
- 00:07:05.540 --> 00:07:08.844
- 10 people.
- 00:07:08.844 --> 00:07:10.178
- Then the habit of daily time alone with God.
- 00:07:10.178 --> 00:07:12.714
- Notice, large group, small group, and alone.
- 00:07:12.714 --> 00:07:15.717
- That's three different kinds of habits with God.
- 00:07:15.717 --> 00:07:18.987
- Daily time alone with God where you read the Bible and you pray
- 00:07:18.987 --> 00:07:21.456
- for 5, 10, 20 minutes.
- 00:07:21.456 --> 00:07:23.625
- And then a habit of memorizing God's Word.
- 00:07:23.625 --> 00:07:27.696
- Now, these first two, the habit of large group worship and small
- 00:07:27.696 --> 00:07:32.100
- group fellowship, where did we get that idea?
- 00:07:32.100 --> 00:07:34.202
- From the Bible.
- 00:07:34.202 --> 00:07:35.804
- That's the way the Bible structured the church 2.000
- 00:07:35.804 --> 00:07:39.341
- years ago.
- 00:07:39.341 --> 00:07:40.709
- The very first church was in Jerusalem.
- 00:07:40.709 --> 00:07:42.043
- And look at this on the screen.
- 00:07:42.043 --> 00:07:43.512
- The Bible says this about them, the first believers, "Every
- 00:07:43.512 --> 00:07:46.982
- day," wasn't just on Sunday, "the believers had the habit of
- 00:07:46.982 --> 00:07:51.853
- meeting together."
- 00:07:51.853 --> 00:07:53.388
- And they met two places: "In the temple courts," that's large
- 00:07:53.388 --> 00:07:56.725
- area to worship, "and in their homes," that's a small area
- 00:07:56.725 --> 00:08:00.161
- for fellowship.
- 00:08:00.161 --> 00:08:01.663
- "They ate together and they celebrated," in other words,
- 00:08:01.663 --> 00:08:04.766
- they're partying, "with happy and thankful hearts," okay?
- 00:08:04.766 --> 00:08:09.204
- "They praised God," and it says, "and the whole community," not
- 00:08:09.204 --> 00:08:12.807
- talkin' about Christians, it's talkin' about the community
- 00:08:12.807 --> 00:08:14.643
- around the church, "the whole community liked what they saw in
- 00:08:14.643 --> 00:08:18.046
- these people.
- 00:08:18.046 --> 00:08:19.414
- And as a result, the Lord added to their groups daily as their
- 00:08:19.414 --> 00:08:24.352
- neighbors were being saved."
- 00:08:24.352 --> 00:08:26.955
- If ever there was a verse that I would want to be true of our
- 00:08:26.955 --> 00:08:29.391
- church family, it would be that verse, that verse right there,
- 00:08:29.391 --> 00:08:33.995
- that we were so close to each other, and we were enjoying each
- 00:08:33.995 --> 00:08:39.634
- other's company, and that people would look from around the
- 00:08:39.634 --> 00:08:41.603
- community and go, "I want to be like those guys.
- 00:08:41.603 --> 00:08:44.539
- They seem to be less stressed out.
- 00:08:44.539 --> 00:08:47.042
- They seem to have more joy.
- 00:08:47.042 --> 00:08:49.411
- They seem to have some kind of purpose that we don't have.
- 00:08:49.411 --> 00:08:52.447
- Now, let's check them out."
- 00:08:52.447 --> 00:08:54.382
- And the Lord added to their number daily because their
- 00:08:54.382 --> 00:08:56.785
- neighbors were going, "I want in on this.
- 00:08:56.785 --> 00:08:59.721
- I want to be a part of this."
- 00:08:59.721 --> 00:09:02.123
- And it was attractive to the people in the community, so much
- 00:09:02.123 --> 00:09:05.860
- that in about 20 years, the church of Jerusalem grew from
- 00:09:05.860 --> 00:09:10.031
- 120 people to almost 100.000 people.
- 00:09:10.031 --> 00:09:13.802
- One church.
- 00:09:13.802 --> 00:09:15.770
- And you say, "Well, how big was the city?"
- 00:09:15.770 --> 00:09:17.572
- About 250.000, so almost half the city was a member of
- 00:09:17.572 --> 00:09:21.977
- one church.
- 00:09:21.977 --> 00:09:23.311
- Why?
- 00:09:23.311 --> 00:09:24.679
- Because they were so attractive in their habits and in what they
- 00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:28.516
- were doing.
- 00:09:28.516 --> 00:09:29.884
- So large group worship, small group fellowship.
- 00:09:29.884 --> 00:09:32.954
- That's from the Bible.
- 00:09:32.954 --> 00:09:34.322
- It talks about this many times.
- 00:09:34.322 --> 00:09:35.657
- That's one of the structures.
- 00:09:35.657 --> 00:09:39.494
- Now, then we have the habit of daily time alone with God where
- 00:09:39.494 --> 00:09:42.697
- you read a little bit of the Bible, and you talk to God and
- 00:09:42.697 --> 00:09:44.733
- let him talk to you.
- 00:09:44.733 --> 00:09:46.968
- And then the habit of memorizing Scripture.
- 00:09:46.968 --> 00:09:49.938
- Now, if I were to ask you how many of you-- I wanna see your
- 00:09:49.938 --> 00:09:53.475
- hands on this.
- 00:09:53.475 --> 00:09:54.809
- How many of you would really like to succeed in life?
- 00:09:54.809 --> 00:09:56.845
- You don't want to fail in life, you want to succeed in life.
- 00:09:56.845 --> 00:09:58.580
- Can I see your hands?
- 00:09:58.580 --> 00:09:59.948
- Yeah, that would be all of us.
- 00:09:59.948 --> 00:10:01.282
- And that would be my goal for you.
- 00:10:01.282 --> 00:10:03.518
- I don't know anybody who wants to be a failure.
- 00:10:03.518 --> 00:10:05.086
- I certainly don't want you to be a failure.
- 00:10:05.086 --> 00:10:07.088
- My job as your pastor is to make sure you're not a failure
- 00:10:07.088 --> 00:10:10.225
- in life.
- 00:10:10.225 --> 00:10:11.626
- My job is to coach you so you're not a failure in any of the
- 00:10:11.626 --> 00:10:15.463
- aspects: finances, sex, relationships, career, spiritual
- 00:10:15.463 --> 00:10:20.635
- life, and all those areas.
- 00:10:20.635 --> 00:10:24.005
- There's one promise in the Bible where God promises prosperity
- 00:10:24.005 --> 00:10:28.243
- and success.
- 00:10:28.243 --> 00:10:29.811
- You wanna know that verse?
- 00:10:29.811 --> 00:10:31.146
- Look up here on the screen.
- 00:10:31.146 --> 00:10:32.514
- It's Joshua chapter 1, verse 8. It says this, "Always remember
- 00:10:32.514 --> 00:10:37.686
- what is written in this Book."
- 00:10:37.686 --> 00:10:39.187
- What's it talking about?
- 00:10:39.187 --> 00:10:40.555
- The Bible.
- 00:10:40.555 --> 00:10:41.890
- "Always remember what's written in this Book.
- 00:10:41.890 --> 00:10:44.192
- Read it, think about it," that's meditate, think about it
- 00:10:44.192 --> 00:10:48.129
- seriously, "every day," that's a habit, "and be sure to obey
- 00:10:48.129 --> 00:10:54.202
- everything written in it.
- 00:10:54.202 --> 00:10:55.537
- If you do this, you will be prosperous and successful in
- 00:10:55.537 --> 00:11:02.143
- your life."
- 00:11:02.143 --> 00:11:03.478
- You think God's lying?
- 00:11:03.478 --> 00:11:04.846
- Do you think God's just exaggerating there?
- 00:11:04.846 --> 00:11:06.381
- Or do you think God will actually keep this promise?
- 00:11:06.381 --> 00:11:08.850
- "If you remember," that's memorize, "read it, think about
- 00:11:08.850 --> 00:11:13.555
- it," that's meditate, "obey it," that's apply it, that's-- we're
- 00:11:13.555 --> 00:11:17.025
- talkin' about the hand we just talked about.
- 00:11:17.025 --> 00:11:18.827
- If you do all those things, God says you will be prosperous and
- 00:11:18.827 --> 00:11:22.430
- successful in life.
- 00:11:22.430 --> 00:11:24.699
- Number four, we grow-- and I've seen this now for decades.
- 00:11:24.699 --> 00:11:30.638
- We grow when we help each other grow.
- 00:11:30.638 --> 00:11:33.942
- We grow when we help each other grow.
- 00:11:35.043 --> 00:11:36.978
- In other words, you cannot grow to spiritual
- 00:11:36.978 --> 00:11:39.080
- maturity by yourself.
- 00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:40.415
- Uh-uh, it ain't gonna happen.
- 00:11:40.415 --> 00:11:41.750
- Zero, not a chance. No way, Jose.
- 00:11:41.750 --> 00:11:45.019
- You cannot be all God wants you to be by yourself.
- 00:11:45.019 --> 00:11:49.324
- God wired the universe in such a way you need other people.
- 00:11:49.324 --> 00:11:53.595
- You need me and I need you, and you need the people on your row,
- 00:11:53.595 --> 00:11:58.933
- whether you realize it or not.
- 00:11:58.933 --> 00:12:01.469
- Over and over through the Scripture, the Bible says you
- 00:12:01.469 --> 00:12:04.038
- only grow in community.
- 00:12:04.038 --> 00:12:06.508
- A Christian without a church family is an orphan.
- 00:12:06.508 --> 00:12:10.311
- They're like a hand cut off from the body.
- 00:12:10.311 --> 00:12:12.080
- What use is a hand cut off from the body?
- 00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:13.848
- It's worthless.
- 00:12:13.848 --> 00:12:15.183
- What use is an eye cut off from the body?
- 00:12:15.183 --> 00:12:16.518
- It's worthless. Can't see anything.
- 00:12:16.518 --> 00:12:17.852
- What use is an ear cut off from the body?
- 00:12:17.852 --> 00:12:19.687
- It's worthless. It can't hear anything.
- 00:12:19.687 --> 00:12:21.489
- Only in connection can you fulfill your purpose that God
- 00:12:21.489 --> 00:12:25.560
- made you for.
- 00:12:25.560 --> 00:12:26.895
- Let me say it again.
- 00:12:26.895 --> 00:12:28.263
- Only in connection to the body of Christ can you fulfill the
- 00:12:28.263 --> 00:12:31.699
- purpose you were made for.
- 00:12:31.699 --> 00:12:33.034
- God did not make you a lone ranger.
- 00:12:33.034 --> 00:12:34.836
- He did not intend for you to go through life on your own.
- 00:12:34.836 --> 00:12:37.305
- You need other people in your life.
- 00:12:37.305 --> 00:12:40.074
- Now, I'm not just talking about coming to a church where you
- 00:12:40.074 --> 00:12:41.876
- have 1.000, 2.000, 3.000 or more people sittin' with you.
- 00:12:41.876 --> 00:12:46.347
- I'm talkin' about a small group, the cells of the body of Christ.
- 00:12:46.347 --> 00:12:50.819
- The church, the body of Christ, is not one giant cell.
- 00:12:50.819 --> 00:12:53.755
- It's millions of little cells.
- 00:12:53.755 --> 00:12:56.157
- And we grow by helping each other because spiritual growth
- 00:12:56.157 --> 00:13:00.395
- is relational.
- 00:13:00.395 --> 00:13:01.763
- Paul says in Romans chapter 1, verse 12, "I want us to help
- 00:13:01.763 --> 00:13:06.634
- each other.
- 00:13:06.634 --> 00:13:08.436
- I want us to help each other with the faith that we have.
- 00:13:08.436 --> 00:13:11.105
- Your faith will help me, and my faith will help you."
- 00:13:11.105 --> 00:13:17.545
- You gotta have other people in your life.
- 00:13:17.545 --> 00:13:19.914
- God wired us this way.
- 00:13:19.914 --> 00:13:21.850
- How many times have I talked to you about the 56 "one anothers"
- 00:13:21.850 --> 00:13:25.253
- in the Bible?
- 00:13:25.253 --> 00:13:26.621
- There are 56 commands in the Bible you cannot obey unless
- 00:13:26.621 --> 00:13:30.525
- you're part of a church family.
- 00:13:30.525 --> 00:13:32.293
- Love one another, care for one another, encourage one another,
- 00:13:32.293 --> 00:13:34.562
- help one another, support one another, pray for one another,
- 00:13:34.562 --> 00:13:38.600
- party with one another.
- 00:13:38.600 --> 00:13:39.934
- I made that one up.
- 00:13:39.934 --> 00:13:42.537
- Now, you can't do that with a hundred people.
- 00:13:42.537 --> 00:13:44.539
- You can't even do it with a thousand people.
- 00:13:44.539 --> 00:13:46.074
- You can do it with a small group, six people, four people,
- 00:13:46.074 --> 00:13:50.678
- eight people, ten people.
- 00:13:50.678 --> 00:13:53.414
- In a small group, small is actually better.
- 00:13:53.414 --> 00:13:55.283
- Two's better than three. Three is better than six.
- 00:13:55.283 --> 00:13:57.452
- Six is better than eight. Eight's better than ten.
- 00:13:57.452 --> 00:13:59.354
- You get more than ten people in a small group, somebody's gonna
- 00:13:59.354 --> 00:14:02.023
- stop talking and the most outgoing person will tend to
- 00:14:02.023 --> 00:14:06.427
- dominate the conversation.
- 00:14:06.427 --> 00:14:09.364
- Pastor Rick Warren: Every year, Christians from all over the
- 00:14:13.534 --> 00:14:16.204
- world remember the death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ by
- 00:14:16.204 --> 00:14:19.340
- traveling to Jerusalem where they walk the path that Jesus
- 00:14:19.340 --> 00:14:23.278
- took on the way to the cross.
- 00:14:23.278 --> 00:14:24.746
- That path is called the Via Dolorosa.
- 00:14:24.746 --> 00:14:27.448
- Now, since you may not be able to ever travel to Jerusalem, I
- 00:14:27.448 --> 00:14:30.685
- want to suggest a way for you to celebrate and reflect on and
- 00:14:30.685 --> 00:14:34.622
- pray about what Jesus did for you on the cross.
- 00:14:34.622 --> 00:14:38.026
- So I've created a brand new, one-of-a-kind resource, "Journey
- 00:14:38.026 --> 00:14:42.096
- with Jesus," a deluxe hardcover gift edition book that's
- 00:14:42.096 --> 00:14:47.335
- illustrated with really beautiful, high-quality glossy
- 00:14:47.335 --> 00:14:50.772
- photos of mosaic tile artwork that reflect each of the stops
- 00:14:50.772 --> 00:14:55.743
- that Jesus made on his journey to the cross.
- 00:14:55.743 --> 00:14:59.580
- You're not ever going to forget this gift.
- 00:14:59.580 --> 00:15:01.249
- It's a great book to keep and to study over and over again, and
- 00:15:01.249 --> 00:15:05.186
- it'd make a great gift for your family and your friends too.
- 00:15:05.186 --> 00:15:09.657
- male announcer: This one-of-a-kind resource is only
- 00:15:09.657 --> 00:15:11.926
- available through "Daily Hope."
- 00:15:11.926 --> 00:15:13.628
- Quantities are limited, so be sure to get yours today.
- 00:15:13.628 --> 00:15:16.831
- Just call 844-467-3900 or visit dailyhopetv.com to get
- 00:15:16.831 --> 00:15:23.938
- yours today.
- 00:15:23.938 --> 00:15:25.306
- Pastor Rick Warren: Now, why are relationships so important
- 00:15:27.108 --> 00:15:29.110
- to spiritual growth?
- 00:15:29.110 --> 00:15:30.445
- Why do I have to have other people in my life in order to
- 00:15:30.445 --> 00:15:32.313
- grow to spiritual maturity?
- 00:15:32.313 --> 00:15:34.782
- 'Cause the number one thing God wants you to learn is how
- 00:15:34.782 --> 00:15:38.286
- to love.
- 00:15:38.286 --> 00:15:39.988
- And you can't love God in a cave.
- 00:15:39.988 --> 00:15:43.257
- You can love God, but you can love other people.
- 00:15:43.257 --> 00:15:45.159
- He said, "Love God and love your neighbor as yourself," and he
- 00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:47.362
- says, "If you don't love other people, you don't really
- 00:15:47.362 --> 00:15:48.830
- love God."
- 00:15:48.830 --> 00:15:50.932
- See how different Christianity is from every other faith?
- 00:15:50.932 --> 00:15:55.136
- Every other faith says to be holy, you separate yourself from
- 00:15:55.136 --> 00:15:59.107
- people, and you go up on the mountain, and you hide in a
- 00:15:59.107 --> 00:16:01.876
- cave, and become a guru.
- 00:16:01.876 --> 00:16:03.211
- And that's how you become a holy man, and the holiest person is
- 00:16:03.211 --> 00:16:05.847
- the person who's untouched by people who are evil, wicked,
- 00:16:05.847 --> 00:16:08.883
- mean, bad, and nasty.
- 00:16:08.883 --> 00:16:11.419
- But that's not Jesus.
- 00:16:11.419 --> 00:16:13.421
- Instead, in Jesus's ministry, he's going to parties.
- 00:16:13.421 --> 00:16:17.025
- He's eating out with people.
- 00:16:17.025 --> 00:16:18.426
- He's going to weddings.
- 00:16:18.426 --> 00:16:19.794
- He's a wedding crasher.
- 00:16:19.794 --> 00:16:21.996
- He does most of his, you know, miracles at fun
- 00:16:21.996 --> 00:16:25.066
- outdoor experiences.
- 00:16:25.066 --> 00:16:27.769
- He's saying-- in fact, the Bible says Jesus went to so many
- 00:16:27.769 --> 00:16:30.805
- parties that the religious people called him a glutton and
- 00:16:30.805 --> 00:16:33.374
- a drunk.
- 00:16:33.374 --> 00:16:35.109
- He's a party animal.
- 00:16:35.109 --> 00:16:37.178
- Jesus clearly was modeling you have to be with people
- 00:16:37.178 --> 00:16:41.249
- if you're gonna learn real love.
- 00:16:41.249 --> 00:16:42.583
- That's why I don't like being in a small group, because those
- 00:16:42.583 --> 00:16:44.185
- people irritate me.
- 00:16:44.185 --> 00:16:45.553
- That's why you need to be in it.
- 00:16:45.553 --> 00:16:49.590
- How do you think you're going to learn to be unselfish if nobody
- 00:16:49.590 --> 00:16:52.860
- ever ruffles your feathers?
- 00:16:52.860 --> 00:16:55.863
- You need people in your life who disagree with you so you realize
- 00:16:55.863 --> 00:17:00.501
- you're not the God of the universe and the manager in
- 00:17:00.501 --> 00:17:02.637
- control of everything.
- 00:17:02.637 --> 00:17:04.906
- We need each other.
- 00:17:04.906 --> 00:17:06.274
- We grow through community.
- 00:17:06.274 --> 00:17:09.210
- Hebrews chapter 10 says this, verse 24 and 25, "Let us be
- 00:17:09.210 --> 00:17:14.415
- concerned for one another," in other words, not just ourselves,
- 00:17:14.415 --> 00:17:19.387
- "to help one another to show love and to do good."
- 00:17:19.387 --> 00:17:24.592
- He's talking about doing good to other people.
- 00:17:24.592 --> 00:17:26.861
- "Let us not give up the habit--" there's that word again.
- 00:17:26.861 --> 00:17:30.131
- "Let us not give up the habit of meeting together."
- 00:17:30.131 --> 00:17:32.600
- He's talking here about small groups meeting in homes.
- 00:17:32.600 --> 00:17:35.603
- There were no church buildings when this was written.
- 00:17:35.603 --> 00:17:37.672
- All church was in homes.
- 00:17:37.672 --> 00:17:40.541
- "Let us not give up the habit of meeting together, as some
- 00:17:40.541 --> 00:17:43.144
- are doing.
- 00:17:43.144 --> 00:17:44.479
- Instead, let us encourage one another all the more."
- 00:17:44.479 --> 00:17:47.915
- So here's the action step that you need to get involved in
- 00:17:47.915 --> 00:17:51.185
- during the next 40 days: join a small group.
- 00:17:51.185 --> 00:17:56.324
- Number five, the fifth thing that causes people to grow, the
- 00:17:56.324 --> 00:18:00.361
- fifth thing is we grow when we expect to grow.
- 00:18:00.361 --> 00:18:05.166
- This is what I call the faith factor.
- 00:18:05.166 --> 00:18:08.102
- We grow when we expect to grow.
- 00:18:08.102 --> 00:18:13.574
- Matthew 9, verse 29, Jesus says, "According to your faith it will
- 00:18:13.574 --> 00:18:17.478
- be done to you."
- 00:18:17.478 --> 00:18:20.047
- Jesus says, "You get to decide how much I bless your life.
- 00:18:20.047 --> 00:18:22.483
- According to your faith, it'll be done to you.
- 00:18:22.483 --> 00:18:24.318
- You get to decide how much I lose your-- use your life.
- 00:18:24.318 --> 00:18:27.855
- It's not dependent on me," Jesus says.
- 00:18:27.855 --> 00:18:29.624
- He says it's dependent on you. How much faith have you got?
- 00:18:29.624 --> 00:18:31.959
- Faith for a little will do a little in your life.
- 00:18:31.959 --> 00:18:33.661
- Faith for a lot will do a lot in your life.
- 00:18:33.661 --> 00:18:35.796
- No faith at all, can't do anything in your life.
- 00:18:35.796 --> 00:18:38.533
- God does not respond to your whining.
- 00:18:38.533 --> 00:18:42.036
- God does not respond to your moaning.
- 00:18:42.036 --> 00:18:44.038
- God does not respond to your griping.
- 00:18:44.038 --> 00:18:45.907
- But the moment you trust him, he moves into action on
- 00:18:45.907 --> 00:18:49.443
- your behalf.
- 00:18:49.443 --> 00:18:50.778
- God always responds to faith.
- 00:18:50.778 --> 00:18:53.181
- So what are you expecting God to do in the next 40 days in
- 00:18:53.181 --> 00:18:56.050
- your life?
- 00:18:56.050 --> 00:18:57.385
- Probably haven't even thought about it 'til I started talking
- 00:18:57.385 --> 00:18:58.953
- about it.
- 00:18:58.953 --> 00:19:00.655
- But I want to suggest that you not go through the next 40 days
- 00:19:00.655 --> 00:19:03.357
- without setting a goal.
- 00:19:03.357 --> 00:19:04.825
- This is what I'd like to see changed in my life in the next
- 00:19:04.825 --> 00:19:08.196
- 40 days.
- 00:19:08.196 --> 00:19:09.564
- Just pick a goal.
- 00:19:09.564 --> 00:19:10.932
- Get a goal and start believing and expecting God to
- 00:19:10.932 --> 00:19:15.136
- do something.
- 00:19:15.136 --> 00:19:16.671
- According to your faith, it will be done unto you.
- 00:19:16.671 --> 00:19:20.241
- Now, you know, I don't even have to know the particulars of your
- 00:19:20.241 --> 00:19:23.377
- life right now, but I can tell you exactly what God's doing in
- 00:19:23.377 --> 00:19:27.148
- your life.
- 00:19:27.148 --> 00:19:29.350
- You say, "Yeah?"
- 00:19:29.350 --> 00:19:30.685
- I'm not a mind reader, but I can tell you exactly what God's
- 00:19:30.685 --> 00:19:33.487
- doing in your life right now.
- 00:19:33.487 --> 00:19:35.523
- He's doing exactly what you expect him to do.
- 00:19:35.523 --> 00:19:40.127
- No more, no less.
- 00:19:40.127 --> 00:19:43.197
- 'Cause if you study Scripture, you find that every time God
- 00:19:43.197 --> 00:19:46.133
- moves out of heaven and moves on earth and does a miracle, it's
- 00:19:46.133 --> 00:19:49.737
- 'cause somebody believed.
- 00:19:49.737 --> 00:19:53.007
- This church exists because I expected God to grow it.
- 00:19:53.007 --> 00:19:57.945
- And when I moved here with no money, no members, no building,
- 00:19:57.945 --> 00:20:00.381
- I was 25 years old, and I go, "God, I'm expecting you to do
- 00:20:00.381 --> 00:20:03.017
- this 'cause I sure can't do it."
- 00:20:03.017 --> 00:20:05.019
- Guess what?
- 00:20:05.019 --> 00:20:06.854
- It happened.
- 00:20:06.854 --> 00:20:08.856
- Every single thing in my life that God has done in blessing, I
- 00:20:08.856 --> 00:20:12.159
- didn't think it could be done by my benefit or by power, but I
- 00:20:12.159 --> 00:20:15.162
- expected God to do it.
- 00:20:15.162 --> 00:20:17.765
- And God listens to the woman who trusts him.
- 00:20:17.765 --> 00:20:21.469
- God listens to the man who trusts him.
- 00:20:21.469 --> 00:20:25.006
- So God says if you wanna grow, you gotta expect to grow.
- 00:20:25.006 --> 00:20:30.911
- So what are you expecting to happen in the next 40 days?
- 00:20:30.911 --> 00:20:34.982
- You should start expecting a miracle.
- 00:20:34.982 --> 00:20:38.052
- You should just start expecting to grow.
- 00:20:38.052 --> 00:20:40.855
- You should start expecting renewal in your life.
- 00:20:40.855 --> 00:20:43.924
- You should start expecting revival of your career or
- 00:20:43.924 --> 00:20:47.295
- whatever you need.
- 00:20:47.295 --> 00:20:48.663
- You start expecting it.
- 00:20:48.663 --> 00:20:49.997
- Start believing God in advance.
- 00:20:49.997 --> 00:20:51.966
- Watch what happens.
- 00:20:51.966 --> 00:20:54.402
- I dare you.
- 00:20:54.402 --> 00:20:57.738
- What have you got to lose?
- 00:20:57.738 --> 00:20:59.273
- It doesn't cost anything to dream.
- 00:20:59.273 --> 00:21:01.375
- Doesn't cost a penny to dream.
- 00:21:01.375 --> 00:21:03.010
- I dare you.
- 00:21:03.010 --> 00:21:04.345
- God says you grow when you expect to grow, and you start
- 00:21:04.345 --> 00:21:11.085
- saying, "God, I know I'm going to grow in the next 40 days.
- 00:21:11.085 --> 00:21:13.688
- I know you're gonna change my life.
- 00:21:13.688 --> 00:21:15.022
- I know you're gonna transform this situation so I can handle
- 00:21:15.022 --> 00:21:17.925
- it or something happens."
- 00:21:17.925 --> 00:21:21.095
- According to your faith, it will be done unto you.
- 00:21:21.095 --> 00:21:22.730
- And number six, this is a big one, we grow when we choose or
- 00:21:22.730 --> 00:21:28.736
- we commit to grow.
- 00:21:28.736 --> 00:21:31.072
- Growth is a commitment.
- 00:21:31.072 --> 00:21:33.174
- Growth is a choice.
- 00:21:33.174 --> 00:21:35.209
- Growth is intentional.
- 00:21:35.209 --> 00:21:37.678
- Growth is not automatic.
- 00:21:37.678 --> 00:21:39.146
- You don't automatically grow up.
- 00:21:39.146 --> 00:21:40.848
- You can automatically grow old, but you don't automatically
- 00:21:40.848 --> 00:21:44.852
- grow up.
- 00:21:44.852 --> 00:21:46.187
- You have to choose to grow.
- 00:21:46.187 --> 00:21:47.922
- So as your friend, as your pastor, let me ask you a pretty
- 00:21:47.922 --> 00:21:50.458
- personal question.
- 00:21:50.458 --> 00:21:52.126
- A year from today, where do you envision your life being a year
- 00:21:52.126 --> 00:21:56.130
- from today?
- 00:21:56.130 --> 00:21:57.998
- Is it going to be any better than it is right now or are you
- 00:21:57.998 --> 00:22:00.434
- gonna be stuck in the same rut?
- 00:22:00.434 --> 00:22:03.371
- Do you expect to be stronger a year from today?
- 00:22:03.371 --> 00:22:05.740
- You expect to be more mature a year from today?
- 00:22:05.740 --> 00:22:09.176
- See, a lot of people, they're not gonna be stronger a year
- 00:22:09.176 --> 00:22:12.747
- from today.
- 00:22:12.747 --> 00:22:14.115
- They're not gonna be more mature.
- 00:22:14.115 --> 00:22:15.449
- Why?
- 00:22:15.449 --> 00:22:16.817
- 'Cause they never intended to be.
- 00:22:16.817 --> 00:22:18.152
- Growth is a choice.
- 00:22:18.152 --> 00:22:20.388
- Bottom line is this: you're as close to God as you choose
- 00:22:20.388 --> 00:22:22.590
- to be.
- 00:22:22.590 --> 00:22:24.859
- Don't blame anybody else.
- 00:22:24.859 --> 00:22:26.861
- Well, if my husband, if my mom, if my brother, if my dad, if
- 00:22:26.861 --> 00:22:30.898
- my husband.
- 00:22:30.898 --> 00:22:32.266
- You're as close to God as you choose to be and you're as
- 00:22:32.266 --> 00:22:35.870
- spiritually mature as you choose to be.
- 00:22:35.870 --> 00:22:38.372
- Now, if you want to be a spiritual wimp, a baby, walk
- 00:22:38.372 --> 00:22:40.708
- around in diapers, messing your pants the rest your life, go
- 00:22:40.708 --> 00:22:42.810
- ahead, but don't stink up the place for us.
- 00:22:42.810 --> 00:22:47.748
- On the other hand, if you go, "I'm tired of being immature.
- 00:22:47.748 --> 00:22:51.085
- I'm tired of the worry and the hurry and the fear and the
- 00:22:51.085 --> 00:22:54.755
- anxiety that comes from immaturity.
- 00:22:54.755 --> 00:22:57.324
- I want to live a life of peace, of joy, of abundance.
- 00:22:57.324 --> 00:23:00.127
- I want to live a life of confidence.
- 00:23:00.127 --> 00:23:01.595
- I want to know who I am and where I'm going," that's
- 00:23:01.595 --> 00:23:03.664
- called maturity.
- 00:23:03.664 --> 00:23:06.434
- And the maturity comes from these six things: getting in the
- 00:23:06.434 --> 00:23:09.103
- Word of God, getting in a small group, doing all these different
- 00:23:09.103 --> 00:23:12.072
- things that God says, "If you do these things, I will make your
- 00:23:12.072 --> 00:23:15.776
- life prosperous and successful."
- 00:23:15.776 --> 00:23:18.579
- Just do it God's way.
- 00:23:18.579 --> 00:23:19.914
- It always works out better if you follow the owner's manual.
- 00:23:19.914 --> 00:23:24.218
- We grow when we commit to grow.
- 00:23:24.218 --> 00:23:27.555
- So do you really want to grow?
- 00:23:27.555 --> 00:23:28.889
- Let's just go back to the title of this message: "Do You Really
- 00:23:28.889 --> 00:23:32.927
- Want to Grow Up?"
- 00:23:32.927 --> 00:23:34.962
- Let me put it another-- what are you willing to pay for it?
- 00:23:34.962 --> 00:23:38.065
- 'Cause there's always a cost in growth.
- 00:23:38.065 --> 00:23:40.568
- That means you have to develop some new habits.
- 00:23:40.568 --> 00:23:42.770
- Are you willing to develop those new habits?
- 00:23:42.770 --> 00:23:47.274
- God says it pretty clearly in Jeremiah 29:13.
- 00:23:47.274 --> 00:23:49.910
- He says this, "You will find me when you get serious about
- 00:23:49.910 --> 00:23:54.982
- finding me and want it more than anything else."
- 00:23:54.982 --> 00:24:00.621
- Really, the prayer that God hears the fastest is the prayer
- 00:24:00.621 --> 00:24:03.657
- of desperation.
- 00:24:03.657 --> 00:24:05.025
- God, I've gotta have you.
- 00:24:05.025 --> 00:24:07.094
- I've gotta have you. I've gotta know you.
- 00:24:07.094 --> 00:24:09.063
- No turning back. No turning back.
- 00:24:09.063 --> 00:24:10.698
- I have decided to follow Jesus, no turning back.
- 00:24:10.698 --> 00:24:16.036
- "You'll get it-- when you get serious about finding me and
- 00:24:16.036 --> 00:24:18.539
- want it more than anything else, you're gonna find me.
- 00:24:18.539 --> 00:24:21.308
- I'm going to work in your life.
- 00:24:21.308 --> 00:24:22.643
- You can count on that."
- 00:24:22.643 --> 00:24:24.011
- We grow when we commit to grow, when we covenant to grow.
- 00:24:24.011 --> 00:24:26.514
- Here's the action step: covenant with others.
- 00:24:26.514 --> 00:24:30.217
- There's something more powerful about doing it with other people
- 00:24:30.217 --> 00:24:32.953
- than trying to do it on your own.
- 00:24:32.953 --> 00:24:34.822
- In fact, you can't do it on your own.
- 00:24:34.822 --> 00:24:37.892
- You have to do it in community.
- 00:24:37.892 --> 00:24:41.028
- In Nehemiah chapter 9, verse 38, Nehemiah, who was the leader,
- 00:24:41.028 --> 00:24:46.233
- said, "In view of all this, we're making a covenant together
- 00:24:46.233 --> 00:24:52.039
- in writing, and all of us are signing our names to it."
- 00:24:52.039 --> 00:24:59.046
- You can't do anything in life without making a covenant.
- 00:24:59.046 --> 00:25:02.983
- You can't buy a car without signing a contract.
- 00:25:02.983 --> 00:25:05.719
- That's called a covenant.
- 00:25:05.719 --> 00:25:07.054
- I'll pay it off in this many months.
- 00:25:07.054 --> 00:25:08.656
- You can't rent a house or buy a house without making a covenant.
- 00:25:08.656 --> 00:25:11.992
- So you'll make a covenant to other people, but not to God?
- 00:25:11.992 --> 00:25:15.362
- When you have a credit card, you're making covenant to
- 00:25:15.362 --> 00:25:18.165
- I'll pay that off.
- 00:25:18.165 --> 00:25:19.767
- You can't get married without making a covenant.
- 00:25:19.767 --> 00:25:22.436
- I promise to love you and you alone.
- 00:25:22.436 --> 00:25:27.007
- You can't do anything.
- 00:25:27.007 --> 00:25:28.375
- In fact, it is the fear of covenant, it is the fear of
- 00:25:28.375 --> 00:25:31.245
- commitment that keeps us immature.
- 00:25:31.245 --> 00:25:34.014
- The most immature person is the guy who's afraid to commit
- 00:25:34.014 --> 00:25:37.084
- to anything.
- 00:25:37.084 --> 00:25:38.819
- That's fear.
- 00:25:38.819 --> 00:25:40.154
- That's immaturity.
- 00:25:40.154 --> 00:25:41.956
- You will only grow in the areas where you commit to growing.
- 00:25:41.956 --> 00:25:46.260
- ♪♪♪
- 00:25:46.260 --> 00:25:52.466
- Pastor Rick Warren: You know, my hope is that God uses this
- 00:25:55.636 --> 00:25:58.005

- found their life purpose.
