arrive to right and it was funny I was arrive to right and it was funny I was in the gym working out and you know and in the gym working out and you know and in the gym working out and you know and once they hear that I'm a pastor that's once they hear that I'm a pastor that's once they hear that I'm a pastor that's why I try not to tell people I'm a why I try not to tell people I'm a why I try not to tell people I'm a pastor pastor pastor everybody wants to talk to me about God everybody wants to talk to me about God everybody wants to talk to me about God right between God and politics no matter right between God and politics no matter right between God and politics no matter where I am if I'm in my spot I'm not where I am if I'm in my spot I'm not where I am if I'm in my spot I'm not gonna tell who my spot is because then gonna tell who my spot is because then gonna tell who my spot is because then y'all show up but when I'm in my spot y'all show up but when I'm in my spot y'all show up but when I'm in my spot just chilling right in the cut uh Hey just chilling right in the cut uh Hey just chilling right in the cut uh Hey passenger mom like hey Grace and peace passenger mom like hey Grace and peace passenger mom like hey Grace and peace right because I always see somebody from right because I always see somebody from right because I always see somebody from the church right I'll be trying to dodge the church right I'll be trying to dodge the church right I'll be trying to dodge you guys and ladies and there's one person we were talking and there's one person we were talking they would bring it up you know um uh they would bring it up you know um uh they would bring it up you know um uh atheism atheism atheism and uh Islam and I said you know and and uh Islam and I said you know and and uh Islam and I said you know and they said they were trying to compare they said they were trying to compare they said they were trying to compare and they said well uh you know Jamal and they said well uh you know Jamal and they said well uh you know Jamal how did you land at Christianity I said how did you land at Christianity I said how did you land at Christianity I said you know I said well it is I went my you know I said well it is I went my you know I said well it is I went my path is is weird it's it's it's uh not path is is weird it's it's it's uh not path is is weird it's it's it's uh not the normal path I said because when I the normal path I said because when I the normal path I said because when I was birthed into it my father was a was birthed into it my father was a was birthed into it my father was a pastor but I had to go into my own pastor but I had to go into my own pastor but I had to go into my own Journey Journey Journey and he he said what is your problem with and he he said what is your problem with and he he said what is your problem with the other religions I said well there's the other religions I said well there's the other religions I said well there's too many holes too many holes too many holes and I said he said what do you mean I and I said he said what do you mean I and I said he said what do you mean I said well let me let me put it this way said well let me let me put it this way said well let me let me put it this way I said even Christianity has its holes I said even Christianity has its holes I said even Christianity has its holes right because we can never arrive to a right because we can never arrive to a right because we can never arrive to a hundred percent Surety without finite hundred percent Surety without finite hundred percent Surety without finite knowledge knowledge knowledge I said but what I have arrived to is I said but what I have arrived to is I said but what I have arrived to is even with the hoes that have been even with the hoes that have been even with the hoes that have been punched into Christianity are so much punched into Christianity are so much punched into Christianity are so much smaller smaller smaller where I believe that my faith makes up where I believe that my faith makes up where I believe that my faith makes up the difference the difference the difference and once again that's why I said you and once again that's why I said you and once again that's why I said you know my faith is not irrational my faith

know my faith is not irrational my faith know my faith is not irrational my faith is not illogical my faith has I have is not illogical my faith has I have is not illogical my faith has I have gone on this journey and arrived at a gone on this journey and arrived at a gone on this journey and arrived at a place and I said Lord I know that you place and I said Lord I know that you place and I said Lord I know that you exist exist exist well I know that you are real and not well I know that you are real and not well I know that you are real and not not only are you not because the thing not only are you not because the thing not only are you not because the thing about it that's why I argue with people about it that's why I argue with people about it that's why I argue with people they say well send energy my way no they say well send energy my way no they say well send energy my way no don't send energy my way right energy is not personal right energy is not personal so just because you try to sin it so just because you try to sin it so just because you try to sin it doesn't mean that it knows how to arrive doesn't mean that it knows how to arrive doesn't mean that it knows how to arrive at the proper place at the proper place at the proper place see personal beings can make a decision see personal beings can make a decision see personal beings can make a decision so when we look at God as a personal so when we look at God as a personal so when we look at God as a personal being he makes a decision to being he makes a decision to being he makes a decision to intentionally intentionally intentionally affect Jamal Bernard affect Jamal Bernard affect Jamal Bernard he intensely to bless Jamar Bernard and he intensely to bless Jamar Bernard and he intensely to bless Jamar Bernard and I said I don't know what you've been I said I don't know what you've been I said I don't know what you've been going through and I shared that to let going through and I shared that to let going through and I shared that to let you know that God is real you know that God is real you know that God is real God does exist God does exist God does exist and God does care and God does care and God does care change your framework on how you believe change your framework on how you believe change your framework on how you believe God should work and I bet you you'll God should work and I bet you you'll God should work and I bet you you'll come to a better understanding of the come to a better understanding of the come to a better understanding of the God we serve instead of the god you want God we serve instead of the god you want God we serve instead of the god you want to serve see we want to serve a convenient God see we want to serve a convenient God but it's not inconvenient about the God but it's not inconvenient about the God but it's not inconvenient about the God we served because it puts a demand on we served because it puts a demand on we served because it puts a demand on our life our life our life there's a statement I don't know who there's a statement I don't know who there's a statement I don't know who says it I I take credit for it I say says it I I take credit for it I say says it I I take credit for it I say what's the worth of Christianity if it what's the worth of Christianity if it what's the worth of Christianity if it doesn't change your character but let me continue because we're back

with some of the deep issues in your with some of the deep issues in your life life life some of the deep issues that's why I some of the deep issues that's why I some of the deep issues that's why I love when when God came to Adam and said love when when God came to Adam and said love when when God came to Adam and said Adam who told you Adam who told you Adam who told you you were naked you were naked you were naked see renew is about done with the Deep see renew is about done with the Deep see renew is about done with the Deep issues they like the issues of guilt issues they like the issues of guilt issues they like the issues of guilt there's an average person throughout the there's an average person throughout the there's an average person throughout the day deals with some sense of guilt day deals with some sense of guilt day deals with some sense of guilt guilt is one of the things that can hold guilt is one of the things that can hold guilt is one of the things that can hold you back for moving forward another thing that that person renewed another thing that that person renewed has you to address is the self-esteem has you to address is the self-esteem has you to address is the self-esteem that's why I love that song he thought I that's why I love that song he thought I that's why I love that song he thought I was worth saving come on now he he come on now he he if you believe that you are the Imago if you believe that you are the Imago if you believe that you are the Imago day the image of God day the image of God day the image of God you should walk in a place where you you should walk in a place where you you should walk in a place where you demand respect because if God says you're worthy of because if God says you're worthy of respect so a person who knows about dealing with so a person who knows about dealing with the guilt self-esteem some other stuff the guilt self-esteem some other stuff the guilt self-esteem some other stuff like self-worth things like your like self-worth things like your like self-worth things like your reputation and too often we allow our reputation to and too often we allow our reputation to control our future control our future control our future and the only reason why I personally and the only reason why I personally and the only reason why I personally continues to live in the past is because continues to live in the past is because continues to live in the past is because they have no vision for their future they have no vision for their future they have no vision for their future so they lose you they use their so they lose you they use their so they lose you they use their reputation to dictate who they were reputation to dictate who they were reputation to dictate who they were but the question is who are you but the question is who are you but the question is who are you right yeah I I think the resume is good

in the the so to today's title is embracing Church renewal see the is embracing Church renewal see the is embracing Church renewal see the neighbors say neighbor neighbors say neighbor neighbors say neighbor Church renewal we must embrace it see because as a community see because as a community we are called to be salt in light of we are called to be salt in light of we are called to be salt in light of this world but sometimes we find this world but sometimes we find this world but sometimes we find ourselves growing stagnant ourselves growing stagnant ourselves growing stagnant and losing our impact and losing our impact and losing our impact however it is never too late for renewal Isaiah chapter 43 verse 19 and I I want Isaiah chapter 43 verse 19 and I I want to read this text because that's the to read this text because that's the to read this text because that's the Texas so I've seen on all the shirts and Texas so I've seen on all the shirts and Texas so I've seen on all the shirts and all everyday to see out there for for all everyday to see out there for for all everyday to see out there for for our back to church Sunday and and really our back to church Sunday and and really our back to church Sunday and and really talk about it because what's good was talk about it because what's good was talk about it because what's good was true corporally is true individually true corporally is true individually true corporally is true individually so I'm talking from a corporate so I'm talking from a corporate so I'm talking from a corporate perspective but there are individual uh perspective but there are individual uh perspective but there are individual uh principles that you can learn today but I want to dream I want you to dream but I want to dream I want you to dream with me with me with me I want you to imagine with me what can I want you to imagine with me what can I want you to imagine with me what can happen happen happen if the church steps into Revival so Isaiah chapter 43 verse 19 I I'm so Isaiah chapter 43 verse 19 I I'm reading it in The Message Bible and he reading it in The Message Bible and he reading it in The Message Bible and he says like this he said be alert somebody says like this he said be alert somebody says like this he said be alert somebody say be alert say be alert say be alert it says be president somebody say be it says be president somebody say be it says be president somebody say be present present present so what what he's he's telling him he's so what what he's he's telling him he's so what what he's he's telling him he's like look be alert and be president it's like look be alert and be president it's like look be alert and be president it's two different things when you're alert two different things when you're alert two different things when you're alert you're observing everything that's going you're observing everything that's going you're observing everything that's going on but when you're present you're in the on but when you're present you're in the on but when you're present you're in the moment

moment moment so he wants you to be in the moment and so he wants you to be in the moment and so he wants you to be in the moment and observing what is going on you're in a observing what is going on you're in a observing what is going on you're in a moment because sometimes if you're not moment because sometimes if you're not moment because sometimes if you're not in the moment you can miss what's going in the moment you can miss what's going in the moment you can miss what's going on but if you're not alert you can miss on but if you're not alert you can miss on but if you're not alert you can miss what's going on so you're saying be both what's going on so you're saying be both what's going on so you're saying be both in the moment in the moment in the moment and be alert and be alert and be alert he said because there it is he said I'm making a road there it is he said I'm making a road through the desert through the desert through the desert rivers in the Badlands rivers in the Badlands rivers in the Badlands and what he is saying here and this is and what he is saying here and this is and what he is saying here and this is this was a a conversation that Isaiah this was a a conversation that Isaiah this was a a conversation that Isaiah was having being a messenger with Israel was having being a messenger with Israel was having being a messenger with Israel telling Israel look be alert telling Israel look be alert telling Israel look be alert be be present something's about to be be present something's about to be be present something's about to happen something new is about to happen something new is about to happen and he says where there is no clear path and he says where there is no clear path and he says where there is no clear path forward forward forward God creates one God creates one God creates one that's what he's saying here that's what he's saying here that's what he's saying here he said when there's no clear path he said when there's no clear path he said when there's no clear path forward God creates one forward God creates one forward God creates one where there is no natural relief of where there is no natural relief of where there is no natural relief of refreshment God provides one refreshment God provides one refreshment God provides one so as we are moving to this next level so as we are moving to this next level so as we are moving to this next level as we're entering into this thing called as we're entering into this thing called as we're entering into this thing called Revival renewal Revival renewal Revival renewal some of us
