I I was I was uh watching some golf this I I was I was uh watching some golf this week and and and as I was watching golf week and and and as I was watching golf week and and and as I was watching golf I said man this is a great analogy and I said man this is a great analogy and I said man this is a great analogy and I'm going to how many people I'm going to how many people I'm going to how many people golf right how many we got we got the golf right how many we got we got the golf right how many we got we got the golfers in the house how many people golfers in the house how many people golfers in the house how many people wish they wish they wish they golf right yeah I'm with you on that you golf right yeah I'm with you on that you golf right yeah I'm with you on that you know and but if when you look at golf know and but if when you look at golf know and but if when you look at golf it's it's such a great life lesson and I it's it's such a great life lesson and I it's it's such a great life lesson and I like to put it in the in a in a idea of like to put it in the in a in a idea of like to put it in the in a in a idea of of the Christian walk with the holy of the Christian walk with the holy of the Christian walk with the holy spirit so I'm looking at the golf uh and spirit so I'm looking at the golf uh and spirit so I'm looking at the golf uh and I'm looking at the caddy and the golfers I'm looking at the caddy and the golfers I'm looking at the caddy and the golfers relationship and I said wow this is one relationship and I said wow this is one relationship and I said wow this is one of the best examples I've seen of the of the best examples I've seen of the of the best examples I've seen of the relationship between a Christian and the relationship between a Christian and the relationship between a Christian and the Holy Holy Holy Spirit and why do I say that because Spirit and why do I say that because Spirit and why do I say that because when you observe the golfer the caddy is when you observe the golfer the caddy is when you observe the golfer the caddy is letting the golfer do all the letting the golfer do all the letting the golfer do all the work and often oh Tiffany do you know the wait you were there this whole time the wait you were there this whole time you didn't want to try to help a brother you didn't want to try to help a brother you didn't want to try to help a brother out [Applause] [Applause] okay I'll okay I'll okay I'll behave behave behave CCC Dash CCC df.org okay that's it well CCC Dash CCC df.org okay that's it well CCC Dash CCC df.org okay that's it well that was that was that was easy thank you Tiffany come on give it easy thank you Tiffany come on give it easy thank you Tiffany come on give it up for Tiffany so I I was watch that and and Tiffany so I I was watch that and and and when don't I'm going to go somewhere and when don't I'm going to go somewhere and when don't I'm going to go somewhere people like Pastor Jamal this is not people like Pastor Jamal this is not people like Pastor Jamal this is not continuation of last week but I'm going continuation of last week but I'm going continuation of last week but I'm going to go somewhere because to go somewhere because to go somewhere because actually you know I think it helps out actually you know I think it helps out actually you know I think it helps out with understanding the fact that know we

  3. Rudy's helping me he's noding his head Rudy's helping me he's noding his head and then you got your wedges which is and then you got your wedges which is and then you got your wedges which is usually a pitcher wed a gap wedge uh a usually a pitcher wed a gap wedge uh a usually a pitcher wed a gap wedge uh a sand wedge right any other wedges that's sand wedge right any other wedges that's sand wedge right any other wedges that's good so far right because once again good so far right because once again good so far right because once again depend on your money because golf can't depend on your money because golf can't depend on your money because golf can't be expensive and then you got your be expensive and then you got your be expensive and then you got your putter right and so you carry and to putter right and so you carry and to putter right and so you carry and to your your your your caddy is carrying your your your your caddy is carrying your your your your caddy is carrying your your your your bag around and what your your your your bag around and what your your your your bag around and what the caddy has the caddy has the caddy has done was has done two major things one done was has done two major things one done was has done two major things one has studied the has studied the has studied the golfer has studied the capacity the golfer has studied the capacity the golfer has studied the capacity the capability and and and and the growth of capability and and and and the growth of capability and and and and the growth of the the the golfer right and and why it's so golfer right and and why it's so golfer right and and why it's so important because what he does is he important because what he does is he important because what he does is he recommends what clubs he is to recommends what clubs he is to recommends what clubs he is to use so here it is and and you don't hear use so here it is and and you don't hear use so here it is and and you don't hear uh uh the the the caddy that much you uh uh the the the caddy that much you uh uh the the the caddy that much you really don't hear them talking about the really don't hear them talking about the really don't hear them talking about the caddy as much you barely you barely know caddy as much you barely you barely know caddy as much you barely you barely know that the cad is around but you know that that the cad is around but you know that that the cad is around but you know that he is affecting the success of this he is affecting the success of this he is affecting the success of this golfer and as this golfer and not not golfer and as this golfer and not not golfer and as this golfer and not not only that's so he Sayes the golfer and only that's so he Sayes the golfer and only that's so he Sayes the golfer and he also studies the course because it's it's very difficult course because it's it's very difficult to help the golfer and without knowing to help the golfer and without knowing to help the golfer and without knowing the the the course and you say Pastor Mar what does course and you say Pastor Mar what does course and you say Pastor Mar what does this have to do with with with the this have to do with with with the this have to do with with with the Christian walk because I believe that Christian walk because I believe that Christian walk because I believe that the the the Holy Spirit has studied you the the the Holy Spirit has studied you the the the Holy Spirit has studied you as an individual as an individual as an individual I believe this the the Holy Spirit I believe this the the Holy Spirit I believe this the the Holy Spirit understands who you are and the

  4. understands who you are and the understands who you are and the potential you have I believe that the potential you have I believe that the potential you have I believe that the spirit the Holy Spirit knows your your spirit the Holy Spirit knows your your spirit the Holy Spirit knows your your proclivities he knows your the ugly part proclivities he knows your the ugly part proclivities he knows your the ugly part of you he knows the good part of you he of you he knows the good part of you he of you he knows the good part of you he knows what's going to cause you to fail knows what's going to cause you to fail knows what's going to cause you to fail what's going to cause you to stumble but what's going to cause you to stumble but what's going to cause you to stumble but he knows it's going to cause you to grow he knows it's going to cause you to grow he knows it's going to cause you to grow and cause you to be successful the Holy and cause you to be successful the Holy and cause you to be successful the Holy Spirit has studied you and one of the things that you don't you and one of the things that you don't want to do as a golfer is not listen want to do as a golfer is not listen want to do as a golfer is not listen really to the caddy really to the caddy really to the caddy see sometimes a caddy can be the most see sometimes a caddy can be the most see sometimes a caddy can be the most important individual on that golf course and then the so the cad studies course and then the so the cad studies the the course why is it so important the the course why is it so important the the course why is it so important because sometimes you're going to find because sometimes you're going to find because sometimes you're going to find yourself at a tea yourself at a tea yourself at a tea box and you're not going to be able to box and you're not going to be able to box and you're not going to be able to see the green because you have might have this green because you have might have this thing called a dog leg thing called a dog leg thing called a dog leg left or dog leg right left or dog leg right left or dog leg right and what you got to have to do is be and what you got to have to do is be and what you got to have to do is be confident on knowing that what the caddy confident on knowing that what the caddy confident on knowing that what the caddy is talking about because when you swing is talking about because when you swing is talking about because when you swing you're swinging you don't know where you you're swinging you don't know where you you're swinging you don't know where you swinging to but the cad is telling you swinging to but the cad is telling you swinging to but the cad is telling you no just hit it with this no just hit it with this no just hit it with this club this way and you're going to get club this way and you're going to get club this way and you're going to get yourself to the yourself to the yourself to the goal and I believe that sometimes we we goal and I believe that sometimes we we goal and I believe that sometimes we we we argue with the spirit because we we argue with the spirit because we we argue with the spirit because we think that we know more than the spirit think that we know more than the spirit think that we know more than the spirit or the spirit just doesn't understand or the spirit just doesn't understand or the spirit just doesn't understand there's a disconnect and the Holy Spirit there's a disconnect and the Holy Spirit there's a disconnect and the Holy Spirit is saying no just try ask me you might is saying no just try ask me you might is saying no just try ask me you might not see the end not see the end not see the end result you might not see the result you might not see the result you might not see the goal you might be on a te Box about to

  5. goal you might be on a te Box about to goal you might be on a te Box about to hit your driver and you can't see where hit your driver and you can't see where hit your driver and you can't see where you're supposed to be hitting it to and you're supposed to be hitting it to and you're supposed to be hitting it to and just trust me if you hit it this way just trust me if you hit it this way just trust me if you hit it this way with this tool you'll get to your goal with this tool you'll get to your goal with this tool you'll get to your goal yes sir I said wow God this is a great yes sir I said wow God this is a great yes sir I said wow God this is a great example to talk about how to witness in example to talk about how to witness in example to talk about how to witness in this world because you cannot this world because you cannot this world because you cannot witness without the Holy Spirit witness without the Holy Spirit witness without the Holy Spirit you cannot be an expression of this you cannot be an expression of this you cannot be an expression of this thing we cannot boldly and confidently thing we cannot boldly and confidently thing we cannot boldly and confidently say that we are going to represent say that we are going to represent say that we are going to represent Christ and culture unapologetically Christ and culture unapologetically Christ and culture unapologetically without the Holy Spirit and don't worry without the Holy Spirit and don't worry without the Holy Spirit and don't worry I respect the Holy Spirit I'm not I respect the Holy Spirit I'm not I respect the Holy Spirit I'm not relegating him to the caddy I'm just relegating him to the caddy I'm just relegating him to the caddy I'm just using it as an analogy for your super using it as an analogy for your super using it as an analogy for your super duper Saints cuz I don't want you say oh no he Saints cuz I don't want you say oh no he didn't oh no he didn't so as we continue from last week didn't so as we continue from last week as I you know wrestling through the as I you know wrestling through the as I you know wrestling through the expression of of of of the expression of of of of the expression of of of of the um the fact that the gospel is relevant um the fact that the gospel is relevant um the fact that the gospel is relevant the gospel will always be relevant the the gospel will always be relevant the the gospel will always be relevant the gospel has always been relevant no gospel has always been relevant no gospel has always been relevant no matter what they say no matter where we matter what they say no matter where we matter what they say no matter where we are no matter what happens in society no are no matter what happens in society no are no matter what happens in society no matter what man has done this is the matter what man has done this is the matter what man has done this is the genius of our God the God was so smart and when he God the God was so smart and when he established and shifted from Judaism to established and shifted from Judaism to established and shifted from Judaism to Christianity going from a state religion Christianity going from a state religion Christianity going from a state religion to something that that can live in the to something that that can live in the to something that that can live in the hearts of the individual that ultimately if it grows individual that ultimately if it grows can transform a

  9. breath God let the world know there's breath God let the world know there's life after death and I said wow Lord we need to go death and I said wow Lord we need to go back to some of this stuff we need to go back to some of this stuff we need to go back to some of this stuff we need to go back to to to to realization that no we back to to to to realization that no we back to to to to realization that no we we we we don't have we we we don't have we we we don't have time there are there are time there are there are time there are there are individuals that need what you individuals that need what you individuals that need what you have and we don't have time to play have and we don't have time to play have and we don't have time to play church so as I continue this whole idea church so as I continue this whole idea church so as I continue this whole idea of why the you know gospel is so of why the you know gospel is so of why the you know gospel is so relevant I I I I I I came across Acts relevant I I I I I I came across Acts relevant I I I I I I came across Acts chapter uh verse 8 in the Amplified chapter uh verse 8 in the Amplified chapter uh verse 8 in the Amplified Bible and it says but you shall receive Bible and it says but you shall receive Bible and it says but you shall receive power what shall we receive first power what shall we receive first power what shall we receive first power and Amplified Bible you know ex power and Amplified Bible you know ex power and Amplified Bible you know ex just expounds on this whole idea of just expounds on this whole idea of just expounds on this whole idea of power it says that it's it's the ability power it says that it's it's the ability power it says that it's it's the ability and efficiency and and efficiency and and efficiency and might so when he says that you're going might so when he says that you're going might so when he says that you're going to receive power in amplify B says to receive power in amplify B says to receive power in amplify B says you're going to receive the you're going to receive the you're going to receive the ability you're going to receive the ability you're going to receive the ability you're going to receive the efficiency to do it efficiency to do it efficiency to do it efficiently and efficiently and efficiently and might when the Holy Spirit has come upon might when the Holy Spirit has come upon might when the Holy Spirit has come upon you and you shall be my witness my you and you shall be my witness my you and you shall be my witness my Witnesses in Jerusalem and Judea and Witnesses in Jerusalem and Judea and Witnesses in Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria and To The Samaria and To The Samaria and To The Ends the very bounds of the Ends the very bounds of the Ends the very bounds of the earth so if the spirit hit earth so if the spirit hit earth so if the spirit hit you you should be you you should be you you should be empowered to

  10. empowered to empowered to evangelize when the spirit just hit you evangelize when the spirit just hit you evangelize when the spirit just hit you you should be empowered should be at a you should be empowered should be at a you should be empowered should be at a place where no I'm going tell somebody see because a witness is someone who see because a witness is someone who provides provides provides testimony based on their personal testimony based on their personal testimony based on their personal knowledge or knowledge or knowledge or experience based on your personal experience based on your personal experience based on your personal knowledge or knowledge or knowledge or experience this testimony can be about experience this testimony can be about experience this testimony can be about an event an individual's actions or any an event an individual's actions or any an event an individual's actions or any situation they they have directly situation they they have directly situation they they have directly observed in different contextes the role observed in different contextes the role observed in different contextes the role and responsibility of witnesses can vary and responsibility of witnesses can vary and responsibility of witnesses can vary you got witnesses called eyewitness you got witnesses called eyewitness you got witnesses called eyewitness testimony with somebody who observed you testimony with somebody who observed you testimony with somebody who observed you got character got character got character witness AK I need a character context particularly in Christianity a context particularly in Christianity a witness is someone who testifies about witness is someone who testifies about witness is someone who testifies about their their their faith they do what sharing their personal experiences and sharing their personal experiences and beliefs about God Jesus Christ and the beliefs about God Jesus Christ and the beliefs about God Jesus Christ and the impact of faith on their impact of faith on their impact of faith on their life I say it again see the reason why life I say it again see the reason why life I say it again see the reason why the gospel is so relevant because we the gospel is so relevant because we the gospel is so relevant because we have a bunch of witnesses as

  12. through some things that in my life through some things that in my life which I I wish I would have been which I I wish I would have been which I I wish I would have been witnessing instead of arguing I I wish witnessing instead of arguing I I wish witnessing instead of arguing I I wish i' been witnessing instead of ready to i' been witnessing instead of ready to i' been witnessing instead of ready to fight there's certain times in my life fight there's certain times in my life fight there's certain times in my life that I know that if I can see certain that I know that if I can see certain that I know that if I can see certain individuals I'll apologize and say look individuals I'll apologize and say look individuals I'll apologize and say look let me tell you about let me tell you about let me tell you about Jesus because Jamal Bernard did not Jesus because Jamal Bernard did not Jesus because Jamal Bernard did not represent him represent him represent him correctly and because that I'm my my my correctly and because that I'm my my my correctly and because that I'm my my my my concern is where are these my concern is where are these my concern is where are these individuals that came into my life and individuals that came into my life and individuals that came into my life and did I miss an opportunity to bring them did I miss an opportunity to bring them did I miss an opportunity to bring them to a place where they have a a Salvation to a place where they have a a Salvation to a place where they have a a Salvation and hope for eternal late so lives by example demon late so lives by example demon demonstrating Christian values through demonstrating Christian values through demonstrating Christian values through their actions and their actions and their actions and lifestyle through their actions and lifestyle the third part of that lifestyle the third part of that definition is that a Christian witness evangelizes a Christian witness first evangelizes a Christian witness first they they they testify then they live by example and testify then they live by example and testify then they live by example and then they then they then they evangelize and this is evangelizing is evangelize and this is evangelizing is evangelize and this is evangelizing is just actively sharing the message of the just actively sharing the message of the just actively sharing the message of the Gospel with

Gospel with Gospel with others however that looks see in all context the core role of a see in all context the core role of a witness is to provide an accurate and witness is to provide an accurate and witness is to provide an accurate and truthful account based on what they have truthful account based on what they have truthful account based on what they have seen heard and experienced so we're going to try to experienced so we're going to try to stay focused I'm I'mma stay in order stay focused I'm I'mma stay in order stay focused I'm I'mma stay in order we're not GNA get confused this week see how you Ure week see how you Ure that the gospel is still relevant in that the gospel is still relevant in that the gospel is still relevant in your household in your building in your your household in your building in your your household in your building in your neighborhood you have to witness you neighborhood you have to witness you neighborhood you have to witness you have to be a have to be a have to be a witness and they said light Childs witness and they said light Childs witness and they said light Childs faster than sound so what you do in your faster than sound so what you do in your faster than sound so what you do in your life far and greater affects individuals life far and greater affects individuals life far and greater affects individuals than what comes out of your than what comes out of your than what comes out of your mouth I say that one more time light mouth I say that one more time light mouth I say that one more time light child fashion and sound so what you do affects do affects individuals quicker and greater than individuals quicker and greater than individuals quicker and greater than what you say they say I there's another say they say I there's another individual he said that he said that individual he said that he said that individual he said that he said that that the the the the the the greatest that the the the the the the greatest that the the the the the the greatest issue that atheists have with Christians issue that atheists have with Christians issue that atheists have with Christians is because what they say and what they is because what they say and what they is because what they say and what they do are in Conflict what they say what they do are

  14. Conflict what they say what they do are in in in Conflict so number one the first duty of Conflict so number one the first duty of Conflict so number one the first duty of a Christian of a Christian of a Christian of witness is speak the witness is speak the witness is speak the truth speak the truth truth speak the truth truth speak the truth now we got to behave though because 1 now we got to behave though because 1 now we got to behave though because 1 Peter 3:15 says at at always be prepared Peter 3:15 says at at always be prepared Peter 3:15 says at at always be prepared but do it in decency and in order in but do it in decency and in order in but do it in decency and in order in some translation and in other some translation and in other some translation and in other translation it says in love and respect translation it says in love and respect translation it says in love and respect so truth is necessary but how you so truth is necessary but how you so truth is necessary but how you deliver it has to be thought about remember has to be thought about remember attitude determines approach approach attitude determines approach approach attitude determines approach approach determines success or failure attitude determines success or failure attitude determines success or failure attitude or how you going to deliver truth has to or how you going to deliver truth has to or how you going to deliver truth has to be be be checked because you got some individual checked because you got some individual checked because you got some individual I'm a going to tell like it shooter and those individuals tend to be shooter and those individuals tend to be a more of a odor than a fragrance see Ephesians 4:25 it says what this see Ephesians 4:25 it says what this adds up to then is this no more lies no adds up to then is this no more lies no adds up to then is this no more lies no more pretense tell your neighbors the more pretense tell your neighbors the more pretense tell your neighbors the truth in Christ's body we are all truth in Christ's body we are all truth in Christ's body we are all connected to each other after all when connected to each other after all when connected to each other after all when you lie to others you end up lying to yourself see as a witness our primary yourself see as a witness our primary responsibility is to speak the truth in

  15. responsibility is to speak the truth in responsibility is to speak the truth in all situations our words should reflect all situations our words should reflect all situations our words should reflect honesty and in honesty and in honesty and in it the truth sets people free and as it the truth sets people free and as it the truth sets people free and as Christians we are called to be bearers Christians we are called to be bearers Christians we are called to be bearers of of of truth the truth sets people free and as truth the truth sets people free and as truth the truth sets people free and as Christians we are called to be bearers Christians we are called to be bearers Christians we are called to be bearers of Truth and why am I saying this of Truth and why am I saying this of Truth and why am I saying this because I I challenge you to start because I I challenge you to start because I I challenge you to start stepping into environments and Arenas stepping into environments and Arenas stepping into environments and Arenas that you you you have a hard time that you you you have a hard time that you you you have a hard time stepping into that you know is an the stepping into that you know is an the stepping into that you know is an the Antichrist is running crazy over here Antichrist is running crazy over here Antichrist is running crazy over here the demonic spirits are running crazy the demonic spirits are running crazy the demonic spirits are running crazy you saying Lord you want me to sep it to you saying Lord you want me to sep it to you saying Lord you want me to sep it to that yes Lord I I this is an environment with yes Lord I I this is an environment with their Cutthroat and nasty and doggy dog their Cutthroat and nasty and doggy dog their Cutthroat and nasty and doggy dog world and you want me to seep he said world and you want me to seep he said world and you want me to seep he said yes he said because if if if you are the yes he said because if if if you are the yes he said because if if if you are the truth truth truth Bearer and if the truth is the thing Bearer and if the truth is the thing Bearer and if the truth is the thing that brings Freedom that sets people that brings Freedom that sets people that brings Freedom that sets people free then how do we expect a free the free then how do we expect a free the free then how do we expect a free the individuals that I love that see I got a individuals that I love that see I got a individuals that I love that see I got a sht that says God so Lov the world that sht that says God so Lov the world that sht that says God so Lov the world that I love I love I love if you're not going in there with the if you're not going in there with the if you're not going in there with the truth and often we're fighting because truth and often we're fighting because truth and often we're fighting because we don't want to go through some of the we don't want to go through some of the we don't want to go through some of the things that we know we're going to have things that we know we're going to have things that we know we're going to have to go through when we enter certain to go through when we enter certain to go through when we enter certain environments see but like like the the environments see but like like the the environments see but like like the the golfer walking down certain courses he golfer walking down certain courses he golfer walking down certain courses he knows that he's not knows that he's not knows that he's not alone and the Holy Spirit is going to alone and the Holy Spirit is going to alone and the Holy Spirit is going to come tell you say this is the tools you come tell you say this is the tools you come tell you say this is the tools you need to use when you walk into this

  16. need to use when you walk into this need to use when you walk into this environment you need to step up your environment you need to step up your environment you need to step up your prayer life you need to get a little prayer life you need to get a little prayer life you need to get a little more disciplined with with with with more disciplined with with with with more disciplined with with with with your your your your mind and control your your your your mind and control your your your your mind and control your thoughts and stuff like that you your thoughts and stuff like that you your thoughts and stuff like that you might need to walk into a place and say might need to walk into a place and say might need to walk into a place and say no you need to be a little more friendly no you need to be a little more friendly no you need to be a little more friendly you might need to walk into a place you might need to walk into a place you might need to walk into a place where where you you need to step out of where where you you need to step out of where where you you need to step out of your shell and out to some this this your shell and out to some this this your shell and out to some this this place to bring you to a place of place to bring you to a place of place to bring you to a place of attention where you can grow but attention where you can grow but attention where you can grow but whatever it is don't run from it see our nature is to seek the comfort it see our nature is to seek the comfort so we'll go to jobs that are comfortable so we'll go to jobs that are comfortable so we'll go to jobs that are comfortable we'll go into environments that are we'll go into environments that are we'll go into environments that are comfortable but God is saying no don't comfortable but God is saying no don't comfortable but God is saying no don't seek the seek the seek the comfortable seek what breaks my heart comfortable seek what breaks my heart comfortable seek what breaks my heart and you'll find yourself in places that and you'll find yourself in places that and you'll find yourself in places that are are are uncomfortable so number one we got to uncomfortable so number one we got to uncomfortable so number one we got to start speaking the start speaking the start speaking the truth number two the duties of a witness truth number two the duties of a witness truth number two the duties of a witness is to uphold is to uphold is to uphold Integrity uphold integrity Proverbs 12:22 in the New Living Proverbs 12:22 in the New Living Translation says the Lord detests lying Translation says the Lord detests lying Translation says the Lord detests lying lips but he Delights in those who tell lips but he Delights in those who tell lips but he Delights in those who tell the truth see Integrity is is crucial for truth see Integrity is is crucial for witness it involves being consistent and witness it involves being consistent and witness it involves being consistent and steadfast in our character and steadfast in our character and steadfast in our character and actions I say it actions I say it actions I say it again it involves being consistent and

  17. again it involves being consistent and again it involves being consistent and steadfast in our character and actions steadfast in our character and actions steadfast in our character and actions and why is it so key because remember Dr and why is it so key because remember Dr and why is it so key because remember Dr n has taught us that we don't make n has taught us that we don't make n has taught us that we don't make decisions in a moment of time they're decisions in a moment of time they're decisions in a moment of time they're rooted in our rooted in our rooted in our character so if you don't like your character so if you don't like your character so if you don't like your decisions check your decisions check your decisions check your character I say it one more time to the character I say it one more time to the character I say it one more time to the balcony balcony if you don't like your balcony balcony if you don't like your balcony balcony if you don't like your decisions check your decisions check your decisions check your character if you got to ask yourself why character if you got to ask yourself why character if you got to ask yourself why am I doing what I'm I'm doing check your character see because it it is is out of character see because it it is is out of charactera your character that Integrity charactera your character that Integrity charactera your character that Integrity will flow and become the light that will flow and become the light that will flow and become the light that people start leaning on remember last people start leaning on remember last people start leaning on remember last week and I said this is a continuation week and I said this is a continuation week and I said this is a continuation because last week I said you there are because last week I said you there are because last week I said you there are going to be individuals that's going to going to be individuals that's going to going to be individuals that's going to watch how you live your life and say wow watch how you live your life and say wow watch how you live your life and say wow I need a person that I can trust in this I need a person that I can trust in this I need a person that I can trust in this position you might not have all the position you might not have all the position you might not have all the qualifications to to to operate and qualifications to to to operate and qualifications to to to operate and function in this leading position but I function in this leading position but I function in this leading position but I need somebody I can trust because I know need somebody I can trust because I know need somebody I can trust because I know that if something happens I need somebody I can rely on happens I need somebody I can rely on there something about this person this there something about this person this there something about this person this person has this level of Integrity I'm person has this level of Integrity I'm person has this level of Integrity I'm watching people are watching watching people are watching watching people are watching us as Christians and I'm telling you your life Christians and I'm telling you your life is going to open doors that you never is going to open doors that you never is going to open doors that you never thought would open [Applause]

  21. go see we can argue certain certain uh go see we can argue certain certain uh text that was speaking to this group and text that was speaking to this group and text that was speaking to this group and that speak to this group this is that speak to this group this is that speak to this group this is consistent that God is always with us consistent that God is always with us consistent that God is always with us everywhere we everywhere we everywhere we go number four as time goes up a witness shows up a witness shows compassion a witness shows compassion compassion a witness shows compassion compassion a witness shows compassion why is this so significant Colossians why is this so significant Colossians why is this so significant Colossians 3:12 it says put on then as God chosen 3:12 it says put on then as God chosen 3:12 it says put on then as God chosen on holy and beloved compassionate Hearts on holy and beloved compassionate Hearts on holy and beloved compassionate Hearts kindness humility meekness and patience kindness humility meekness and patience kindness humility meekness and patience because as a witness we should embody because as a witness we should embody because as a witness we should embody compassion and empathy by showing love compassion and empathy by showing love compassion and empathy by showing love and understanding to others we reflect and understanding to others we reflect and understanding to others we reflect God's love there's something significant God's love there's something significant God's love there's something significant where you can understand or try to get where you can understand or try to get where you can understand or try to get an understanding of what somebody is an understanding of what somebody is an understanding of what somebody is going going going through the worst thing you can do is through the worst thing you can do is through the worst thing you can do is try to tell somebody to try to tell somebody to try to tell somebody to change being disconnected that's like telling alcohol just that's like telling alcohol just quick do you understand the struggle quick do you understand the struggle quick do you understand the struggle that an individual goes that an individual goes that an individual goes through I look at my brother and and and through I look at my brother and and and through I look at my brother and and and and some of the stories of him going in and some of the stories of him going in and some of the stories of him going in the morning he's worshiping praising God the morning he's worshiping praising God the morning he's worshiping praising God but by the end of the day he's but by the end of the day he's but by the end of the day he's drinking there's a tension where they drinking there's a tension where they drinking there's a tension where they know what they got to do you just tell know what they got to do you just tell know what they got to do you just tell somebody quick there's a disconnect but somebody quick there's a disconnect but somebody quick there's a disconnect but when you start showing compassion and when you start showing compassion and when you start showing compassion and empathy and say okay brother sister how empathy and say okay brother sister how empathy and say okay brother sister how can I walk this journey with can I walk this journey with can I walk this journey with you how can we do this together you how can we do this together you how can we do this together you're not alone in you're not alone in you're not alone in this and sometimes that's all they need

  22. this and sometimes that's all they need this and sometimes that's all they need to know is that they're not alone see there's something about alone see there's something about compassion there's something about the compassion there's something about the compassion there's something about the significance of compassion that helps significance of compassion that helps significance of compassion that helps guide your witnessing see often we as Christians we witnessing see often we as Christians we we we we we we get caught up and we we we we we we get caught up and we we we we we we get caught up and we either try to go so so so profound and either try to go so so so profound and either try to go so so so profound and and logical where we we we're meeting and logical where we we we're meeting and logical where we we we're meeting them in their brain you know it makes them in their brain you know it makes them in their brain you know it makes sense but we don't meet them in their sense but we don't meet them in their sense but we don't meet them in their heart and you got other individuals that heart and you got other individuals that heart and you got other individuals that they they they try they go so emotional they they they try they go so emotional they they they try they go so emotional where they they they they touch their where they they they they touch their where they they they they touch their heart but they don't meet them in their heart but they don't meet them in their heart but they don't meet them in their brain and there's a disconnect and it's brain and there's a disconnect and it's brain and there's a disconnect and it's like how do we bring the heart and mind like how do we bring the heart and mind like how do we bring the heart and mind together I think once we bring the heart together I think once we bring the heart together I think once we bring the heart and mind they can rationalize and make and mind they can rationalize and make and mind they can rationalize and make it logical but yet feel the presence of it logical but yet feel the presence of it logical but yet feel the presence of the holy spirit in the heart and say the holy spirit in the heart and say the holy spirit in the heart and say because I want this change so the duties of a witness is to speak so the duties of a witness is to speak truth number two uphold Integrity number truth number two uphold Integrity number truth number two uphold Integrity number three be courageous number four show three be courageous number four show three be courageous number four show compassion number five live by compassion number five live by compassion number five live by example your duty is to live by example your duty is to live by example your duty is to live by example and this is where this is the example and this is where this is the example and this is where this is the point I get to I say Lord help point I get to I say Lord help point I get to I say Lord help me because it's not easy living by me because it's not easy living by me because it's not easy living by example is not easy it's it's actually example is not easy it's it's actually example is not easy it's it's actually the hardest part the hardest part the hardest part of the of the of the journey living by examples is one of the journey living by examples is one of the journey living by examples is one of the toughest parts of the journey because

  23. toughest parts of the journey because toughest parts of the journey because sometimes your human flesh gets involved sometimes your human flesh gets involved sometimes your human flesh gets involved and you say no I I I know what I want to and you say no I I I know what I want to and you say no I I I know what I want to do and I you get to the place where do and I you get to the place where do and I you get to the place where because we understand that the struggle because we understand that the struggle because we understand that the struggle is real say to your neighbor say is real say to your neighbor say is real say to your neighbor say neighbor the struggle is neighbor the struggle is neighbor the struggle is real let's look at Paul he says I know real let's look at Paul he says I know real let's look at Paul he says I know what to what to what to do he said I know what's right he said do he said I know what's right he said do he said I know what's right he said but there's something inside of me that but there's something inside of me that but there's something inside of me that that pulls me to to a path that I don't that pulls me to to a path that I don't that pulls me to to a path that I don't want to take there's something that that want to take there's something that that want to take there's something that that that that happens he says I I even go to that that happens he says I I even go to that that happens he says I I even go to princi I know what's right I decide to princi I know what's right I decide to princi I know what's right I decide to do right but it's something just messes do right but it's something just messes do right but it's something just messes me me me up he said there's a principle there's up he said there's a principle there's up he said there's a principle there's something that's actively working something that's actively working something that's actively working against you doing against you doing against you doing right I'll say that again see the right I'll say that again see the right I'll say that again see the lifestyle part is a struggle because the lifestyle part is a struggle because the lifestyle part is a struggle because the literally there's literally there's literally there's something something something actually working intensely against you doing intensely against you doing right so when we come down to Lifestyle right so when we come down to Lifestyle right so when we come down to Lifestyle part of this thing that's when we start part of this thing that's when we start part of this thing that's when we start leaning what what what did he say he leaning what what what did he say he leaning what what what did he say he said thank said thank said thank God for Jesus Christ he said I know God for Jesus Christ he said I know God for Jesus Christ he said I know everything I I go through the ups and everything I I go through the ups and everything I I go through the ups and downs the trips and and the struggles of downs the trips and and the struggles of downs the trips and and the struggles of life he said but there's an life he said but there's an life he said but there's an answer there's an antidote to that answer there's an antidote to that answer there's an antidote to that principle there something that can kniz principle there something that can kniz principle there something that can kniz that that that keeps it render that that that keeps it render that that that keeps it render it it it helpless he said it's something that can

  24. helpless he said it's something that can helpless he said it's something that can beond that's what I love about how God beond that's what I love about how God beond that's what I love about how God operates because every issue that we can operates because every issue that we can operates because every issue that we can bring to him there's a bring to him there's a bring to him there's a response every ailment that we bring to response every ailment that we bring to response every ailment that we bring to him there's a response every reason why him there's a response every reason why him there's a response every reason why we can't do something there's a we can't do something there's a we can't do something there's a response and so here it is he says he response and so here it is he says he response and so here it is he says he says but thank God for Jesus Christ he says but thank God for Jesus Christ he says but thank God for Jesus Christ he said thank God for Jesus Christ thank said thank God for Jesus Christ thank said thank God for Jesus Christ thank God for Jesus Christ because sometimes I God for Jesus Christ because sometimes I God for Jesus Christ because sometimes I tell people I say you better thank God tell people I say you better thank God tell people I say you better thank God for Jesus Christ that I'm not the old for Jesus Christ that I'm not the old for Jesus Christ that I'm not the old [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] Jamal I'm telling you you got to have Jamal I'm telling you you got to have Jamal I'm telling you you got to have people thinking God for you not being people thinking God for you not being people thinking God for you not being old old old [Applause] you she so it says live by you she so it says live by example Matthew chapter 5 ver 16 I know example Matthew chapter 5 ver 16 I know example Matthew chapter 5 ver 16 I know you know and I know some people are you know and I know some people are you know and I know some people are testifying that cuz like like my wife testifying that cuz like like my wife testifying that cuz like like my wife used to tell me used to I will cut to I will cut you she's Puerto Rican right so any you she's Puerto Rican right so any you she's Puerto Rican right so any Puerto Ricans in the house huh b b Puerto Ricans in the house huh b b Puerto Ricans in the house huh b b Ric no Puerto Ricans oh okay we got one Ric no Puerto Ricans oh okay we got one Ric no Puerto Ricans oh okay we got one Puerto Rican two Puerto Puerto Rican two Puerto Puerto Rican two Puerto Ricans do I need to start preaching in Ricans do I need to start preaching in Ricans do I need to start preaching in Spanish Spanish Spanish and and and a that's as far as I can go that's as a that's as far as I can go that's as a that's as far as I can go that's as far as I can far as I can far as I can [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] go but some of y'all still struggle with

Summary

The sermon uses a golf analogy to illustrate the relationship between a Christian and the Holy Spirit, comparing the caddy to the Holy Spirit providing guidance and support. The main theme emphasizes that just as a golfer relies on their caddy for success, believers need the constant guidance of the Holy Spirit to navigate their Christian walk effectively. The practical takeaway is that the success of our spiritual journey is heavily dependent on acknowledging and leaning on the assistance of the Holy Spirit.
