Full transcript

1. 0:00I have a question. Having a good summer?
2. 0:04Did you know that it's almost over?
3. 0:07Almost as relative. You got a few more
4. 0:09days left. Well, how many of you like
5. 0:12asking questions? Yeah. I like to think
6. 0:16about questions, but I don't necessarily
7. 0:18want to always ask them. But there's
8. 0:21somebody in the Bible who got a lot of
9. 0:23questions. And I bet you can guess who
10. 0:25it was. Jesus. He got a lot of
11. 0:29questions. Some of them were from his
12. 0:31followers where they really just wanted
13. 0:33to know what do you mean when you say
14. 0:35this. But then there were some questions
15. 0:37that were tricky like who do you love
16. 0:41more, Mary or Joseph? I'm just kidding.
17. 0:44That wasn't a question they asked.
18. 0:48There was a man who asked Jesus,
19. 0:51"What is the greatest commandment?" And
20. 0:54you know what? That guy who asked that
21. 0:56question, he already knew. Did you know
22. 0:58that? He already knew the answer. But
23. 1:01what Jesus said, it came all the way
24. 1:04back from the time of Moses. When you
25. 1:06hear the name Moses, what do you think?
26. 1:10What do you think? Do you think about
27. 1:13Egypt, the Red Sea going like this, or
28. 1:17do you think about Ten Commandments? I
29. 1:20think about Ten Commandments. So Jesus
30. 1:22said the greatest commandment. Wait, did
31. 1:26I say what he asked the question was? He
32. 1:29did. Okay, good. Sometimes I forget what
33. 1:31I just said.
34. 1:33Jesus said, "The greatest commandment is
35. 1:35to love the Lord your God with all your
36. 1:38heart, your mind, and your strength."
37. 1:40And then he added part two, which says
38. 1:42to love your neighbor as yourself.
39. 1:46Now, who gives commands?
40. 1:49Jesus gives commands. Do you know
41. 1:51anybody like now in the world that gives
42. 1:54commands?
43. 2:00What about Yes, Elisha.
44. 2:03God gives commands. Yes, Ellis.
45. 2:06Parents give commands. Yes. What about a
46. 2:10king or a queen? Do they give commands?
47. 2:13Maybe. You don't know. What about a
48. 2:15general or um a high ranking officer to
49. 2:19the people underneath him? Would he give
50. 2:20commands or she? Yeah. Okay. Commands
51. 2:25sounds like a funny word. Does it feel
52. 2:27like a good word or does it feel like a
53. 2:28not good word? Not good word. Not good
54. 2:32word. Okay. I feel the same way. I'm a
55. 2:34little confused. Is a command a good
56. 2:36thing or a bad thing? When God gives a
57. 2:39command,
58. 2:41it has two forms.
59. 2:44Good
60. 2:46and strong.
61. 2:49Do you guys know what the word oobleck
62. 2:52is?
63. 2:54oobleck. Do you guys know what the word
64. 2:56oobleck is? It's fun. Can we say it?
65. 3:00>> It's a substance. It's mixed of equal
66. 3:02parts cornstarch and water and it makes
67. 3:06this kind of like slimy liquidy texture.
68. 3:08And when I was talking to God the other
69. 3:10day, I said, "God, what is your command
70. 3:13like?" And I just heard the word
71. 3:14oobleck. And I just started laughing
72. 3:16because God, what are you talking about?
73. 3:19How are commands like oobleck? This
74. 3:21substance when you hit it with force, it
75. 3:24turns firm. But if you just let it sit
76. 3:26in your hand, nice and soft, it just
77. 3:28kind of oozes gently down. And I went,
78. 3:32that's exactly what God's commandments
79. 3:34are like. They're firm with force, but
80. 3:37also gentle. And I thought, that is so
81. 3:40amazing, God. You're awesome. Thank you
82. 3:42for showing me that. So when you receive
83. 3:46a commandment from your parents, know
84. 3:48that they have to give it some force
85. 3:50because you maybe won't hear them, but
86. 3:52they're saying it with love because
87. 3:54they're learning that from God. God
88. 3:56teaches parents his commandments and
89. 3:59then we teach you got to follow the
90. 4:01rules even though it feels a little
91. 4:05uncomfortable. All right. Thank you for
92. 4:08listening to my message. Do you have any
93. 4:10questions for me?
94. 4:13I know I just opened the floor to a
95. 4:15whole can of worms here, but you guys
96. 4:17are looking at me so intently like
97. 4:19you're listening and you're thinking and
98. 4:21something's about to come out any
99. 4:23second. All right, if you do have
100. 4:24questions, save them for later. We do
101. 4:27not have splash today, but if you would
102. 4:29like to go to Miss NY's, I will have
103. 4:31somebody take you. But we're going to
104. 4:33have some time of worship. So, why don't
105. 4:35you guys go back to where you are? Were
106. 4:38were was I know how to say words.
