Sermon #B708 -
Troubler Of Israel
00:00:08.34\00:00:19.85
Pastor Byrd:Now it's time
to hear a word from the Lord.
00:00:19.88\00:00:22.28
First Kings Chapter 18.
00:00:22.32\00:00:23.95
First Kings Chapter 18 and I
want to go to verse number 17.
00:00:23.99\00:00:28.46
First Kings Chapter
18 and verse number 17.
00:00:28.49\00:00:34.00
First Kings 18 verse number 17.
If you have your Bibles turned
there with me, the word of God
00:00:34.03\00:00:41.47
says, And it came to pass, when
Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said
unto him, Art thou he that
00:00:41.50\00:00:52.28
troubleth Israel? Verse 18. And
he answered, I have not troubled
Israel; but thou, and thy
00:00:52.31\00:01:01.19
father's house, in that ye have
forsaken the commandments of the
LORD, and thou hast followed
00:01:01.22\00:01:05.56
Baalim. Now therefore send, and
gather to me all Israel unto
mount Carmel, and the prophets
00:01:05.59\00:01:18.01
of Baal four hundred and fifty,
and the prophets of the groves
four hundred, which eat at
00:01:18.04\00:01:25.51
Jezebel's table. So Ahab sent
unto all the children of Israel
and gathered the prophets
00:01:25.55\00:01:36.93
together unto mount Carmel. And
Elijah came unto all the people,
and said, How long halt ye
00:01:36.96\00:01:44.77
between two opinions? if the
LORD be God, follow him: but if
Baal, then follows him. And the
00:01:44.80\00:02:04.69
people answered him not a word.
Troubler of Israel is our
challenge as we culminate this
00:02:04.72\00:02:15.80
month. Father bless us now.
Speak for your servant heareth.
00:02:15.83\00:02:20.77
Go now through the airwaves
and the computer waves and the
00:02:20.80\00:02:27.34
innovation, technology and
speak to your people right now.
00:02:27.38\00:02:35.25
Forgive me of my sins and hide
behind your cross. Praise you in
advance for what you're getting
00:02:35.28\00:02:43.19
ready to do and I don't know how
you're going to do it, but Lord
you going to do it today.
00:02:43.22\00:02:50.30
So we praise you in Jesus' name.
And for his sake, we pray. Amen.
00:02:50.33\00:03:07.85
And Amen. Troubler of Israel,
you will remember that Israel
had been saved from an evil
00:03:07.88\00:03:24.17
oppressive system in Egypt.
After their freedom from Pharaoh
and Egypt. Now, after spending
00:03:24.20\00:03:36.34
40 years in the wilderness.
Things were going well until the
time of the Judgment judges when
00:03:36.38\00:03:44.82
another generation the Bible
says arose after them who did
not know the Lord or the work he
00:03:44.85\00:03:53.76
had done for Israel. The
situation became worse under a
wicked King by the name of Ahab.
00:03:53.80\00:04:01.34
It became worse with his even
more wicked wife named Jezebel
who forced idolatry on God's
00:04:01.37\00:04:12.48
people and murdered almost all
of the Lord's Prophets and
Jezebel was arguably the most
00:04:12.51\00:04:26.90
wicked couple in the Bible.
First Kings 16:33 says that Ahab
did more to provoke the God of
00:04:26.93\00:04:35.64
Israel to anger than all the
kings of Israel that were before
him. But Elijah. God's prophet.
00:04:35.67\00:04:52.22
God's man. God's voice. Stood in
the gap for God. Elijah boldly
stood before Ahab and confronted
00:04:52.25\00:04:59.03
him with his sins and declared
the Lord's judgment against him
and all of Israel. The Bible
00:04:59.06\00:05:04.50
says that Elijah then prophesied
to Ahab. That the Lord told him
there was going to be a drought,
00:05:04.53\00:05:12.17
no rain for three and a half
years. And sure enough the three
and a half years. There's no
00:05:12.21\00:05:22.58
rain. Lake after the lake. Creek
laughter creek. Stream after
stream. River after river. Dry
00:05:22.62\00:05:32.63
up until there was hardly any
water to be found anywhere in
Israel. It was a time of chaos.
00:05:32.66\00:05:38.67
It was a time of confusion. It
was a time of violence as
landowners were doing their best
00:05:38.70\00:05:45.67
to keep people from stealing the
little water that they had in
their rivers and streams. It was
00:05:45.71\00:05:52.71
a time of protests as people all
over the nation demanded that
00:05:52.75\00:05:54.88
something is done. Like most
government leaders, Ahab looked
for a convenient scapegoat
00:05:54.92\00:06:06.03
because when things are going
bad, you have to blame something
or somebody. Ahab chooses to
00:06:06.06\00:06:15.84
blame God. He didn't believe in
God. And his wife Jezebel
believed in Baal and the Gods of
00:06:15.87\00:06:21.74
the Grove, Asherah. So Ahab
instructed the Israelites to
forsake their God for Baal and
00:06:21.78\00:06:29.42
Asherah. The Gods of rain,
blessing, and prosperity. But
none of their prayers to these
00:06:29.45\00:06:34.06
Gods of rain. None of their
prayers to these Gods of
prosperity, Baal or Asherah
00:06:34.09\00:06:40.70
we're working. And they wouldn't
work because Baal or Asherah
wasn't God. They were man-made
00:06:40.73\00:06:49.64
Gods. But friends, today, I'm
proud to say that God is God.
00:06:49.67\00:06:55.78
And God is so serious about the
fact that he's God that God made
it his first command,
00:06:55.81\00:07:02.28
“Thou shalt have no other Gods
before me”, I will not put up
with rival Gods. I am not a
00:07:02.32\00:07:11.23
favorite God. I am God. Now, I
need you to understand that this
drought was not coincidental.
00:07:11.26\00:07:19.00
This drought was not accidental.
This drought was not unplanned,
unexpected, unpredicted,
00:07:19.03\00:07:26.44
uncalculated, or unintentional.
But this drought was the direct
judgment of the one true God
00:07:26.47\00:07:34.25
because Israel had rejected God.
And when you reject God, God one
way or another we'll get your
00:07:34.28\00:07:41.69
attention. Three and a half
years a half. Ahab. Jezebel. And
the people were praying to gods,
00:07:41.72\00:07:51.77
lowercase G for rain, but it
wasn't working. God tells Elijah
now that I have Israel's
00:07:51.80\00:08:02.24
attention. Now that I have
Ahab's attention. I want you to
go to Ahab because I'm going to
00:08:02.28\00:08:11.79
make it rain. Elijah gets ready
to meet Ahab. Ahab calls for
00:08:11.82\00:08:14.69
Obadiah. Obadiah is Ahab's Chief
of Staff. But Obadiah fears the
Lord and I say this because when
00:08:14.72\00:08:23.20
Jezebel, Ahab's wife tried to
kill off all the prophets of
God. Obadiah hid 100 of these
00:08:23.23\00:08:31.74
prophets into caves and
supplied them with water.
00:08:31.77\00:08:34.31
Let me remind you today that in
the name of Jesus. God always
has an Obadia. In the name of
00:08:34.34\00:08:42.78
Jesus. God always has somebody
on the inside to work out his
sovereign purposes. God always
00:08:42.82\00:08:51.03
has an Obadiah. God always has a
Joseph. God always has Mordecai
in the king's courts.
00:08:51.06\00:08:58.00
Ahab tells Obadiah to look
everywhere in the country for
some water. Obadiah goes looking
00:08:58.03\00:09:06.24
for water. But instead of
finding water, Obadiah finds
Elijah. Elijah tells Obadiah,
00:09:06.27\00:09:12.55
go back to Ahab and tell Ahab
that you have seen me. But
Obadiah is scared to do this
00:09:12.58\00:09:21.62
because, for three and a half
years, Ahab has been looking
high and low for Elijah
00:09:21.66\00:09:27.36
because he's going to try to
kill Elijah. Because he believes
it's Elijah's fault that Israel
00:09:27.40\00:09:34.07
is in the mess it's in. But in
the three and a half years Ahab
00:09:34.10\00:09:38.74
couldn't find him. So Obadiah's
afraid to go tell Ahab that he
has seen Elijah for fear that
00:09:38.77\00:09:45.11
Ahab will kill him, Obadiah.
Obadiah then tells Elijah. I've
risked my life for the Lord. But
00:09:45.15\00:09:54.72
now you want me to go and tell
Ahab, I've seen you and when he
comes looking for you, you're
00:09:54.76\00:10:02.06
going to disappear and then he's
going to kill me. But then
Elijah said, as sure as my God
00:10:02.10\00:10:12.44
liveth, I will meet Ahab
face-to-face. Obadiah obeys the
man of God. And he goes to Ahab.
00:10:12.47\00:10:20.78
And he tells Ahab, I've seen
Elijah. Ahab goes out to meet
Elijah, and as soon as Ahab sees
00:10:20.82\00:10:30.36
Elijah, he says, if it's not the
Troubler of Israel. Ahab pins
the droughts. The famine. And
00:10:30.39\00:10:38.27
all the troubles Israel is
facing on the Prophet Elijah,
but let me remind somebody today
00:10:38.30\00:10:45.77
that anytime you rebuke sin.
Anytime you stand for the right.
Anytime you speak truth to
00:10:45.81\00:10:50.45
power. You're going to be a
troubler, but I believe that
sometimes it's necessary to be a
00:10:50.48\00:10:57.22
troubler because according to
John Lewis, there is something
called good trouble. To speak
00:10:57.25\00:11:03.22
for those who can't speak for
themselves. To trouble systems
that are slavish, sinister, and
00:11:03.26\00:11:09.66
sorry. To speak truth to power.
All threw-out scripture Jesus
challenged authorities,rebuking
00:11:09.70\00:11:19.64
them for their self-serving,
self-promoting ways. He upset
the elites by spending time with
00:11:19.67\00:11:26.51
the poor and marginalized. He
healed those considered unclean
and returned them to wholeness.
00:11:26.55\00:11:32.89
He ate with the underprivileged
and he treated them with class
and dignity. He listened to
00:11:32.92\00:11:38.16
those who had been disregarded
and deprived. He questioned
current laws and challenged the
00:11:38.19\00:11:44.47
status quo. And as a result,
became the target of those in
authority and ultimately those
00:11:44.50\00:11:53.44
authorities killed him. But
despite knowing he would be
killed by the very people he was
00:11:53.48\00:11:59.48
trying to help, Jesus shows us
that there are times when we
must trouble the waters and
00:11:59.51\00:12:04.95
stand up and speak out and speak
truth to power in constructive,
meaningful, and unyielding ways
00:12:04.99\00:12:09.36
despite the potential
consequences. Just as Jesus
troubles things. There are times
00:12:09.39\00:12:15.06
when we must do the same and
trouble public concern about an
issue in hopes of prompting
00:12:15.10\00:12:22.04
action, but have we become more
concerned with bright lights,
big crowds, and big donors
00:12:22.07\00:12:33.25
rather than mercy, justice, and
love. Have we become more
interested in knowing who's who
00:12:33.28\00:12:38.02
and who whose of the world
rather than helping the least of
00:12:38.05\00:12:42.92
these. Have we become more
focused on being politically
correct as opposed to
00:12:42.96\00:12:49.83
benevolently expedient,
but sometimes, got to trouble
00:12:49.86\00:12:54.57
things. Elijah makes good
trouble with Ahab. He says look
Ahab. I haven't been to the
00:12:54.60\00:13:04.58
trouble of Israel. You have.
You're the trouble. You're the
problem. You're the one who
00:13:04.61\00:13:10.72
disobeyed God. You are the
one who has worshipped Baal.
00:13:10.75\00:13:13.52
Elijah, in his holy boldness,
then challenges Ahab, the
00:13:13.56\00:13:20.23
prophets of Baal, and the
prophets of Asherah to a
showdown on Mount Carmel. Elijah
00:13:20.26\00:13:28.84
says, your Gods against my God.
The venue of this battle is
Mount Carmel. But why Mount
00:13:28.87\00:13:33.98
Carmel? Mount Carmel was a
stronghold whoever controls
Mount Carmel controls the
00:13:34.01\00:13:40.95
northern half of the nation
militarily and politically.
Whoever controlled Mount Carmel
00:13:40.98\00:13:46.32
controlled the nation
spiritually. So this fight was
going to be a showdown. A fight
00:13:46.35\00:13:55.06
for the ages. Elijah versus
Ahab. The God of Heaven versus
the Gods of Baal on Mount
00:13:55.10\00:14:07.31
Carmel. No ticket price. No
pay-per-view. No box seats.
Attendance was first come first
00:14:07.34\00:14:15.68
serve. Now, the crowd on Mount
Carmel was made up of three
groups of people, and everyone
00:14:15.72\00:14:20.32
who would come and could come
can. The first person or first
group was just one person,
00:14:20.36\00:14:29.20
Elijah. He was all by himself.
The second group on Mount Carmel
was the 850 prophets, 450
00:14:29.23\00:14:37.51
prophets of Baal, and 400
prophets of Asherah. The third
group was made up of the
00:14:37.54\00:14:45.18
majority of people who were
present and wavering between two
opinions. Now, if you were in
00:14:45.21\00:14:51.45
the crowd, you might have felt
sorry for Elijah because Elijah
was one man going up against 850
00:14:51.49\00:14:57.96
prophets. He was all by himself
going up against all these
people. In our everyday
00:14:57.99\00:15:08.54
vernacular, he was about to get
jumped. One person versus 850
people, but let me remind
00:15:08.57\00:15:17.58
somebody today that every move
of God that happened in the
Bible never started with the
00:15:17.61\00:15:24.55
committee. It never started with
the board. It never started with
a group. But it always started
00:15:24.59\00:15:27.39
with one person. Elijah was by
himself. But all it takes is
one. Group number one. I feel my
00:15:27.42\00:15:35.33
help come. And group number one
is Elijah. Group number 2 are
the 450 prophets of Baal
00:15:35.36\00:15:40.50
and the four hundred prophets of
Asherah. And group number three,
everybody else who was watching.
00:15:40.54\00:15:46.98
And so then, Elijah comes now to
verse 21, our final text. And he
utters those famous words.
00:15:47.01\00:15:54.88
How long halt ye between two
opinions, if the Lord be God
follow him. But if Baal, follow
00:15:54.92\00:16:07.13
him. This last sentence and the
people answered him not a word.
00:16:07.20\00:16:12.63
Lord have mercy.For generations
00:16:12.67\00:16:14.47
Israel has been trying to
worship Jehovah and Baal at the
same time. They want it both
00:16:14.50\00:16:21.94
ways. They want the power of
Jehovah, but they want the
decadence of Baal. They were
00:16:21.98\00:16:28.82
doing a little bit of God and a
little bit of Baal. They had
been double-dipping, riding the
00:16:28.85\00:16:34.19
fence, becoming polytheistic
they believed in the one true
God, but they also believed in
00:16:34.22\00:16:41.23
Baal. But you can't make a
career of sitting on top of two
fences. You have to come to a
00:16:41.26\00:16:48.60
decision. Neutrality with God is
like treason or disloyalty. You
can't run with the devil all
00:16:48.64\00:16:55.18
week and then stand with Jesus
on the Sabbath. You can't go to
bed with Satan and then wake up
00:16:55.21\00:17:02.32
with Jesus. Joshua said choose
you this day whom you will serve
but as for me and my house, we
00:17:02.35\00:17:09.39
are going to serve the Lord.
Paul told the Corinthians, you
can't drink the cup of the Lord
00:17:09.42\00:17:13.70
and the cup of demons. You can't
partake of the table of the Lord
and the table of demons. Jesus
00:17:13.73\00:17:18.53
himself said, no man can serve
two masters for either you'll
hate one and love the other.
00:17:18.57\00:17:23.94
Elijah said how long halt ye
between two opinions if the Lord
be God follow him If Baal
00:17:23.97\00:17:33.35
follows him. Elijah is calling
them to make up their minds and
the people answered him not a
00:17:33.38\00:17:42.59
word. In other words,
the people were silent.
00:17:42.62\00:17:45.16
Elijah asks, who's on the Lord's
side, And the people are silent.
Silence suggests complicity.
00:17:45.19\00:17:55.70
To be silent means you don't
disagree with what's going on.
You're silent. You're complicit.
00:17:55.74\00:18:03.35
Things can be going wrong, but
you don't say a thing and too
often today at the church of
00:18:03.38\00:18:09.38
today is like Israel of old
silence. The church is silent on
wrongdoing. The church is silent
00:18:09.42\00:18:20.63
on sin, afraid to call sin by
its right name because we're too
afraid in 2021, to offend
00:18:20.66\00:18:29.57
somebody or hurt
somebody's feelings.
00:18:29.60\00:18:32.31
The church is silent on
injustice. Far too many people
in the house of God who profess
00:18:32.34\00:18:40.52
to love the Lord are only
concerned with me. Myself. And
I. But we can't send checks for
00:18:40.55\00:18:47.09
disaster relief and avoid
examining the lifestyles that
contribute at least in part to
00:18:47.12\00:18:53.33
some of these natural disasters.
We can't then just send water to
Houston and think we've done our
00:18:53.36\00:18:59.27
part and that's enough. We can't
do hunger walks but refused to
change our consumerist
00:18:59.30\00:19:04.64
lifestyles. We can't sit in
church or watch Church on the
internet and say Amen,
00:19:04.67\00:19:09.51
but turn a blind eye and a deaf
ear to the cries of erroneous
exploitation, prejudicial
00:19:09.54\00:19:16.52
profiling, and
malicious mistreatment.
00:19:16.55\00:19:18.69
How are you going to be a
Christian for fifty years and
you don't do anything to
00:19:18.72\00:19:24.26
marginalize? How are you going
to be a seven-day Adventists all
your life and yet not help the
00:19:24.29\00:19:29.53
oppressed? The greatest sermon
is not the one that's preached.
But it's the one that you live.
00:19:29.56\00:19:35.34
Jesus is not so impressed with
how we know the word. He's most
pleased with how we live the
00:19:35.37\00:19:42.48
word. Jesus is not so concerned
with our standing in the
community as much as he is about
00:19:42.51\00:19:49.65
whether we're making a
difference in the community.
Jesus is not concerned so much
00:19:49.68\00:19:57.39
about our membership, and club
organizations, fraternities, or
sororities as much as he is
00:19:57.43\00:20:04.60
about us doing something to help
the least of these in these same
clubs organizations,
00:20:04.63\00:20:08.37
fraternities, and sororities. We
cannot subscribe to the thought
that one must pull himself or
00:20:08.40\00:20:15.74
herself up by their own
bootstraps. Some people don't
have any bootstraps to be pulled
00:20:15.78\00:20:24.29
up from. What are we doing? What
are we saying? With who and what
are we troubling? Do something.
00:20:24.32\00:20:36.80
If you can't run, walk. If you
can't walk, shake your leg. If
you can't shake your leg, wiggle
00:20:36.83\00:20:42.00
your toes. But do something. And
yet, it is that many times
people of faith talk a lot, but
00:20:42.04\00:20:49.84
they are inclined to do nothing.
We wait, we watch, we look to
see if somebody else is going to
00:20:49.88\00:20:58.42
do something but the kingdom
suffereth violence. But the
violent take it by force. Be a
00:20:58.45\00:21:06.66
voice, not an echo. Do something
and be a troubler. So I'm
getting ready to close and
00:21:06.70\00:21:13.34
Elijah says, all right, I'll
tell you what. Get your 850
prophets of Baal and Asherah.
00:21:13.37\00:21:22.28
And to end this drought, you
call on your gods and I'll call
on my God. And the God that
00:21:22.31\00:21:36.59
answers by fire, let him be God.
The God who wins will be the God
that Israel serves. Everybody
00:21:36.62\00:21:41.80
agrees. And it's time for the
battle to begin. Now. Let me
take you inductively back to the
00:21:41.83\00:21:48.44
three groups. Let's start with
group number three. And remember
these are the people who are
00:21:48.47\00:21:51.87
gathered on Mount Carmel and
they don't believe anything is
going to happen because after
00:21:51.91\00:21:55.34
all, all these people have been
praying to Baal, Asherah, and
anyone else they can pray to for
00:21:55.38\00:22:00.78
three and a half years
and nothing has happened.
00:22:00.82\00:22:03.42
Then there's group number two
who followed Baal and Asherah
and they were excited because
00:22:03.45\00:22:09.42
finally, they would get to prove
that God, the God of heaven was
00:22:09.46\00:22:15.26
a fake. They would finally be
able to get rid of this old man
Elijah and after this showdown
00:22:15.30\00:22:21.80
on Mount Carmel, nobody in
Israel would ever dare to call
upon the name of the God of
00:22:21.84\00:22:27.61
Heaven again. Then we have group
number one. One person, Elijah,
all by himself. No, praise team.
00:22:27.64\00:22:43.36
No musicians. No pastors. No
elders. No ushers. No large
banners or congregation of
00:22:43.39\00:22:55.50
worshipers following him. He was
all by himself, but I'm so glad
that the man of God was not
00:22:55.54\00:23:07.55
scared. He had an ace in the
hole. He had a secret weapon. He
had God in his corner. He had
00:23:07.58\00:23:17.46
God on his side. It has been
said that U plus God are a
majority, but let me change that
00:23:17.49\00:23:22.46
right now. God is the majority.
Elijah all by himself goes up
against 850 prophets of Baal and
00:23:22.50\00:23:30.44
Asherah and says, there's a lot
of you so you go first. They
prepare their altar. They placed
00:23:30.47\00:23:38.38
an ax Ox, on the tight-top of
the altar. And they started to
dance around the altar.
00:23:38.41\00:23:44.12
And they started to call the
name Baal. They began to worship
00:23:44.15\00:23:50.56
Baal and Asherah and everybody
that is gathered together. They
sang They praised, they danced,
00:23:50.59\00:23:57.97
they sang some more. They
praised some more, they yelled,
they screamed. They yelled some
00:23:58.00\00:24:04.91
more, they danced some more. But
nothing happened, not a cloud
appeared in the sky. Not a sound
00:24:04.94\00:24:11.98
of thunder was heard. Not a drop
of rain fell, nothing happened.
The only thing that took place
00:24:12.01\00:24:19.32
with some noise they were
making. They then take out the
Bible, say some knives
00:24:19.35\00:24:22.62
and start cutting themselves
trying to show their gods that
they are 100% committed.
00:24:22.66\00:24:28.50
They began pouring their human
blood on the altar. And now we
have singing, we have praising,
00:24:28.53\00:24:34.60
we have yelling, we have dancing
and we have blood dripping
everywhere. It's crazy.
00:24:34.64\00:24:40.64
It's outrageous. Surely now Baal
and Asherah would come to the
rescue, but nothing.
00:24:40.68\00:24:48.78
Elijah has had enough of their
show. He has had enough of their
00:24:48.82\00:24:56.96
shenanigans. He has allowed them
to make fools of themselves. He
allows them to prove that their
00:24:56.99\00:25:05.00
gods were nothing more than
stone and wood. It was time for
evening worship. Elijah tells
00:25:05.03\00:25:14.64
them we've had enough. It's time
to stop. It's now his turn. The
man of God sets up his altar.
00:25:14.68\00:25:20.38
He invites the people to now
join him in the worship of the
00:25:20.42\00:25:26.09
God of Heaven. It wouldn't be
the kind of worship that had
been going on all those hours
00:25:26.12\00:25:32.23
with cutting and shouting and
dancing. But his service would
just be 63 words. but not only
00:25:32.26\00:25:49.48
that, Elijah's prayer is not
condemning. It's not condemning
but it's a prayer inviting
00:25:49.51\00:25:56.28
Israel back to God. It's a
prayer to God for God's grace
and mercy. It's a prayer asking
00:25:56.32\00:26:03.22
heaven to invade Earth. It's a
prayer of salvation. And just as
soon as Elijah's prayer is
00:26:03.26\00:26:19.17
prayed something
happens. The heavens open up.
00:26:19.21\00:26:21.81
Fire comes down. And then the
Bible says, the people begin to
00:26:21.84\00:26:28.95
repent. They had experienced an
encounter with God and as a
result, they repent.
00:26:28.98\00:26:35.32
They turn back to the Lord.
Elijah didn't mind being a
mouthpiece for God.
00:26:35.36\00:26:41.86
Elijah didn't mind standing up
for God. Elijah didn't mind
speaking Truth for God.
00:26:41.90\00:26:49.47
Elijah didn't mind giving him
good trouble for God. And God
rewarded him. God spared his
00:26:49.50\00:26:57.85
life. Israel returned to God.
00:26:57.88\00:26:59.78
Today, I just got to ask
somebody. Who or what are you
going to trouble? I don't know
00:26:59.81\00:27:06.25
about you, but I want to get in
some good trouble. I said I want
to get in some good trouble.
00:27:06.29\00:27:11.36
Let's trouble the world for
Jesus. Let's trouble the
community for Jesus. Let's
00:27:11.39\00:27:20.14
trouble inequality racism,
discrimination, and besought
journey for Jesus. Let's trouble
00:27:20.17\00:27:30.58
Senator systems for Jesus. Let's
trouble the status quo for
Jesus. Let's trouble boring,
00:27:30.61\00:27:44.49
irrelevant, antiquated, out of
touch. No impact having Ministry
modalities for Jesus. But most
00:27:44.53\00:27:59.51
importantly, let's trouble Satan
for Jesus. Thank you very much
