I am concerned that God is giving us I am concerned that God is giving us I am concerned that God is giving us more than enough instruction. more than enough instruction. more than enough instruction. >> But sometimes there is too little >> But sometimes there is too little >> But sometimes there is too little implementation implementation implementation >> to make the word flesh >> to make the word flesh >> to make the word flesh >> in your life. >> in your life. >> in your life. >> And sometimes it means that God will >> And sometimes it means that God will >> And sometimes it means that God will speak something to you that is so speak something to you that is so speak something to you that is so powerful, so profound, and so personal, powerful, so profound, and so personal, powerful, so profound, and so personal, and it doesn't get a chance to go deep. and it doesn't get a chance to go deep. and it doesn't get a chance to go deep. >> Now, when we say deep, we don't mean >> Now, when we say deep, we don't mean >> Now, when we say deep, we don't mean complicated. Because some of the deepest complicated. Because some of the deepest complicated. Because some of the deepest things that God will speak to you will things that God will speak to you will things that God will speak to you will be some of the most easy to understand be some of the most easy to understand be some of the most easy to understand and the most difficult to do.

and the most difficult to do. and the most difficult to do. >> Isn't it the truth? >> Isn't it the truth? >> Isn't it the truth? >> Sometimes God will speak to you about >> Sometimes God will speak to you about >> Sometimes God will speak to you about forgiveness. And it's simple to forgive. forgiveness. And it's simple to forgive. forgiveness. And it's simple to forgive. But it's deep. But it's deep. But it's deep. >> Come on. >> Come on. >> Come on. >> To forgive is is is is hard. It's >> To forgive is is is is hard. It's >> To forgive is is is is hard. It's grueling. You have to do it over and grueling. You have to do it over and grueling. You have to do it over and over again. But the choice is simple. over again. But the choice is simple. over again. But the choice is simple. I've got to let this go. I've got to let I've got to let this go. I've got to let I've got to let this go. I've got to let this go. Somebody say, "I've got to let this go. Somebody say, "I've got to let this go. Somebody say, "I've got to let this go." this go." this go." And so the problem sometimes when God And so the problem sometimes when God And so the problem sometimes when God speaks to you about something like speaks to you about something like speaks to you about something like forgiveness or purity or a discipline in forgiveness or purity or a discipline in forgiveness or purity or a discipline in your life or something that he wants to your life or something that he wants to your life or something that he wants to show you, it will sound so simple and it show you, it will sound so simple and it show you, it will sound so simple and it won't go deep and then it doesn't make won't go deep and then it doesn't make won't go deep and then it doesn't make the difference. Now, in Mark 4:33, the difference. Now, in Mark 4:33, the difference. Now, in Mark 4:33, the Bible says that Jesus would speak to the Bible says that Jesus would speak to the Bible says that Jesus would speak to the crowds with parables and then he the crowds with parables and then he the crowds with parables and then he would pull the disciples aside and would pull the disciples aside and would pull the disciples aside and explain everything to them when he was explain everything to them when he was explain everything to them when he was alone with his own disciples. I want you alone with his own disciples. I want you alone with his own disciples. I want you to see the contrast because my entire to see the contrast because my entire to see the contrast because my entire message hangs on it today. He would message hangs on it today.
