- 0:58Speaker 2: to build a community of believers who believe that the
- 1:03Speaker 2: ingrafted Word is able to save our souls. We are
- 1:06Speaker 2: walking down that narrow path, yes and maybe difficult, but
- 1:10Speaker 2: you know what, once we get that support, encourage and
- 1:14Speaker 2: help each other, that gives us some staying power to
- 1:18Speaker 2: stay on it. Because you know that broad road leads
- 1:22Speaker 2: to destruction, and there are many that are traveling down
- 1:26Speaker 2: that road, sad to say, and we're trying to snatch
- 1:30Speaker 2: as many as possible so they make a turn onto
- 1:35Speaker 2: the His Hot Radio Podcast and help us get on this.
- 1:39Speaker 2: Come with us as we travel down this narrow road.

- 2:24Speaker 2: we encourage each other, we hold each other accountable, we
- 2:27Speaker 2: lift each other up in prayer, and we just it's
- 2:31Speaker 2: just a space where we can get refreshed, refused throughout
- 2:35Speaker 2: the day and get that love and support that we
- 2:39Speaker 2: need right in the body of Christ. And we believe
- 2:42Speaker 2: in discipleship. We believe that the Word of God corrects, rebukes, instructs.
- 2:47Speaker 2: We need all that stuff. And so sometimes you know,
- 2:51Speaker 2: we just hey, you know, just share our hearts and
- 2:55Speaker 2: if it's something that the Word of God needs to correct,
- 2:58Speaker 2: so we allow ourselves to be corrected and to be
- 3:01Speaker 2: used by God. So you know, that's what we do,
- 3:06Speaker 2: That's who we are. And we appreciate everyone who comes
- 3:11Speaker 2: and supports us. And I just you know, I just
- 3:13Speaker 2: cannot lead us alone. I want to give a shout
- 3:17Speaker 2: out to everyone who voted for us. I don't know
- 3:20Speaker 2: how it happened, but we are ranked in the top
- 3:24Speaker 2: ninety podcast worldwide via feed Spot. Feed Spot is a
- 3:31Speaker 2: powerhouse when it comes to digital content. So we want
- 3:35Speaker 2: to give God praise for that. And we don't know
- 3:39Speaker 2: what God is up to, what God is doing, but
- 3:41Speaker 2: that gives us more exposure on this platform to reach
- 3:47Speaker 2: more souls. Amen. So it's good before our father and prayer.
- 3:51Speaker 2: Ely Father, We thank you Father, God for the doors
- 3:55Speaker 2: that you've opened. We thank you, Father God for every
- 3:57Speaker 2: blessing that you've poured out. Oh Lord, we cannot do
- 4:01Speaker 2: this about you. We do refuse to go where you're not, Lord.
- 4:03Speaker 2: So we asked for your presence to be on this
- 4:05Speaker 2: podcast today, that your presence, O God, will touch every
- 4:09Speaker 2: listener who will take the time out Lord intentionally, Lord
- 4:13Speaker 2: to join us every day, to join us in a
- 4:15Speaker 2: life chat, and to visit us on our website. We
- 4:19Speaker 2: thank you God for every person who downloads the app, Lord,
- 4:22Speaker 2: touch them, anoint them on. God, let this be a
- 4:25Speaker 2: kingdom populating platform, O God. And we asked his Father
- 4:30Speaker 2: in Jesus' name, Amen, all right, all right, man, God
- 4:39Speaker 2: is just so good. I'm excited to get into the
- 4:42Speaker 2: word we're actually gonna be completing. We're getting to the
- 4:47Speaker 2: end of chapter fourteen in the Book of Acts. We're
- 4:50Speaker 2: gonna pick it up in chapter twenty four today. If
- 4:55Speaker 2: Paul and Barnabas has endured persecution, babe strength the disciples,
- 5:01Speaker 2: they appointed elders in the churches, and completed their first
- 5:06Speaker 2: missionary journey. This is exciting to look at and just
- 5:10Speaker 2: exciting to look into this today. Now they returned back
- 5:15Speaker 2: to Antioch. Now this is descending church. I remember throughout
- 5:21Speaker 2: this chapter they went to another Antioch that was a
- 5:25Speaker 2: different location. But this is the Antioch that we know,
- 5:30Speaker 2: the popular one in scripture. Right, and they what they
- 5:37Speaker 2: do next models something that is very very powerful. Wants
- 5:42Speaker 2: to go back to their home church. They report, but
- 5:46Speaker 2: God has done not what they've done, right, They're not
- 5:50Speaker 2: putting themselves on a pedestal, but they are highlighting the
- 5:55Speaker 2: things that God has done in this first journey. So
- 5:59Speaker 2: today we go out chapter fourteen with a focus on celebration,
- 6:07Speaker 2: celebrating the Lord. We're gonna see where accountability comes in, right, accountability.
- 6:13Speaker 2: We have that accountability segment even on this podcast. Accountability
- 6:18Speaker 2: is a part of the kingdom, and recognizing that God
- 6:22Speaker 2: is the one who opens all doors. Amen, alalujah. Like
- 6:29Speaker 2: we said a minute ago, this door on feed spot
- 6:32Speaker 2: was nothing but the Lord, and we are grateful for that.
- 6:37Speaker 2: All right, So let's walk through this verse by verse.
- 6:41Speaker 2: We're gonna go from twenty four to twenty eight. Did
- 6:45Speaker 2: we hitting you with the new king James? All right?
- 6:50Speaker 2: Verse twenty four and twenty five. And after they had
- 6:53Speaker 2: passed through, I'm probably gonna butcher these names Piesta and
- 6:59Speaker 2: came to Pamphilia. Now when they had preached the word
- 7:05Speaker 2: in Perga, they went down to Attilia. Now check it out.
- 7:12Speaker 2: Their journey was intentional and it was very thorough. Now,
- 7:17Speaker 2: what I mean by that is they did not rush
- 7:20Speaker 2: back home. And I'm guilty of that myself. Man. You
- 7:24Speaker 2: know sometimes in church when we're getting ready to close out, Man,
- 7:28Speaker 2: I'm just ready to go out that door. I don't
- 7:31Speaker 2: want to hang around. I'm ready to go back home.
- 7:34Speaker 3: Right.
- 7:34Speaker 2: But they took their time. It wasn't like, oh, we're
- 7:38Speaker 2: done with our journey, let's get back to the house. No,
- 7:41Speaker 2: they made a few stops on their way, and they
- 7:44Speaker 2: continued to preach as they were on their way back
- 7:51Speaker 2: from their mission. So what this shows us is that
- 7:55Speaker 2: mission wasn't an event, right, It wasn't just an event.
- 8:00Speaker 2: Let's meet up in the park, let's have a concert,
- 8:02Speaker 2: let's pass out some food or something like that. No,
- 8:07Speaker 2: it is a lifestyle for them, amen, And it should
- 8:11Speaker 2: be soul for us. Ministry should be a lifestyle for us, amen,
- 8:18Speaker 2: because there's a ministry everywhere we go, and they maximize
- 8:23Speaker 2: every opportunity to reach a soul and to reach a heart.
- 8:28Speaker 2: And I remember, beloved, I confess my fire has cooled
- 8:33Speaker 2: down a little bit in that area. I remember I
- 8:35Speaker 2: will go everywhere. I had a Bible in my back pocket.
- 8:39Speaker 2: And I remember evangelizing, especially with my brother Mike bumguard Man.
- 8:46Speaker 2: We would be in restaurants and he is preaching the
- 8:50Speaker 2: word and explaining the word to the workers. You know,
- 8:53Speaker 2: he just has that unique fire. And I pray for
- 8:57Speaker 2: that fire to come back, and it will come back, amen.
- 9:02Speaker 2: And they were. They maximized every opportunity and even on
- 9:13Speaker 2: their way home, they preached. So there is no off season.
- 9:17Speaker 2: There was no break from their calling. Right, They did
- 9:21Speaker 2: not clock out. Faithfulness is not situational, is what I'm
- 9:25Speaker 2: trying to say faithfulness is something that is consistent. When
- 9:31Speaker 2: you understand your assignment, you do not clock out spiritually.
- 9:37Speaker 2: You stay on your grind. You keep the grind going,
- 9:40Speaker 2: and God will elevate you Amen, Verse twenty six. From
- 9:45Speaker 2: there they sail to Antioch, where they had been commanded
- 9:52Speaker 2: I mean commended to the grace of God for the
- 9:55Speaker 2: work which they have completed. Now this is anti yeah,
- 10:00Speaker 2: this is dessending church. This is where the Lord said,
- 10:05Speaker 2: separate Paul and barnabas unto me for the work that
- 10:09Speaker 2: I have for them. Now they were sent out by
- 10:16Speaker 2: the church. Now they returned to that church. This shows accountability.
- 10:24Speaker 2: Love it. They were not loan rangers in ministry. They
- 10:29Speaker 2: were commissioned, covered and connected. Let me say that again.
- 10:36Speaker 2: They were commissioned, covered and connected to their home church.
- 10:44Speaker 2: Right now, this is huge. They completed the assignment. They
- 10:50Speaker 2: did not abandon it, They did not tried to improve
- 10:56Speaker 2: on it. They finished what God called them to do,
- 11:02Speaker 2: and they returned to their spiritual family. Resilient ministry includes accountability.
- 11:11Speaker 2: Isolation leads to burnout. Our community is supposed to sustain
- 11:17Speaker 2: our calling. They're supposed to sustain us. Amen. Alleluiah. God
- 11:22Speaker 2: did not mean for us to do this on our own.
- 11:26Speaker 2: And I'm even talking about his hot laws of Vegas.
- 11:29Speaker 2: Sometimes I feel like I'm a lone ranger that I
- 11:33Speaker 2: want to do this on my own. But there is
- 11:38Speaker 2: a place where the body takes part in that Amen.
- 11:44Speaker 2: Verse twenty seven. Now, when they had come and gathered
- 11:49Speaker 2: the church together, they reported all that God had done
- 11:53Speaker 2: with them, and that he had opened the door of
- 11:57Speaker 2: faith to the Gentiles. Now they reported what God had done.
- 12:05Speaker 2: They did not glorify themselves. They glorify God. They recognize
- 12:11Speaker 2: that salvation of the Gentiles was God's open door and
- 12:21Speaker 2: said that again, they recognize that God opened the door,
- 12:26Speaker 2: that was God's doing to minister to the gentile. Revival
- 12:32Speaker 2: is God's work. Amen, Revival is the work of the
- 12:39Speaker 2: Lord himself. This is one of my favorite lines in
- 12:43Speaker 2: the Book of Acts. He opened the door of faith,
- 12:49Speaker 2: not Paul, not barnabas God. When God opens doors in ministry,
- 12:57Speaker 2: when hearts respond, when lives change, that is nobody but
- 13:06Speaker 2: God and man. And notice they gathered the church together.
- 13:14Speaker 2: They celebrated corporately. Hallelujah. This was testimony time. Victory was
- 13:22Speaker 2: not a private thing right. It was shared with the
- 13:29Speaker 2: whole entire congregation. Healthy faith community, celebrate what God does right.
- 13:38Speaker 2: They don't get jealous. They don't get mad when another
- 13:42Speaker 2: church gets more blessed or more people than our church,
- 13:45Speaker 2: or another ministry or whatever, or maybe another brother or
- 13:50Speaker 2: sister is getting elevated in the body. It's not about competition.
- 13:55Speaker 2: It's all about family, us rejoicing together. We're all on
- 14:00Speaker 2: the same team, Amen, Verse twenty eight. So they stay
- 14:08Speaker 2: there a long time with the apostles. Amen, So let's
- 14:16Speaker 2: check this out. After intense travel and persecution, they rested
- 14:24Speaker 2: in community. There is a rhythm in ministry. Amen. Now
- 14:32Speaker 2: check this out. We go or sit out, we serve,
- 14:39Speaker 2: then we return, we rest and get strengthened. Al aluya.
- 14:45Speaker 2: Now this is necessary. This is a nes necessary cycle.
- 14:54Speaker 2: So we don't get burnt out right, and we don't
- 14:58Speaker 2: become overwhelmed, and we don't focus on one thing. I mean,
- 15:03Speaker 2: when to be honest, when I read the scripture is
- 15:05Speaker 2: what standings out and my mind is all the persecution.
- 15:10Speaker 2: I don't think about the time that the apostles took
- 15:13Speaker 2: out to rest and to be strengthened by their community,
- 15:19Speaker 2: or this is the most important part of it. Like,
- 15:22Speaker 2: even when you go to work, sometimes you can't wait
- 15:27Speaker 2: until break time, right, you can't wait until you can
- 15:29Speaker 2: take your break and relax a little bit, or your
- 15:31Speaker 2: break is coming up, And so your mind isn't about, oh,
- 15:35Speaker 2: I gotta work work. Your mind is probably like, you
- 15:38Speaker 2: know what, I'm about to go take my break in
- 15:40Speaker 2: a few minutes. You know what I'm saying. So that's
- 15:44Speaker 2: that's another aspect on that. Now they stayed. They didn't
- 15:50Speaker 2: rush into the next mission. They weren't looking for the
- 15:55Speaker 2: next thing, the next outreach, the next whatever. They just stayed.
- 15:58Speaker 2: They rested, They built relationships while they were there. They
- 16:05Speaker 2: invested locally, right, they were a part of the local body.
- 16:13Speaker 2: Sometimes spiritual maturity looks like staying put in strengthening the community.
- 16:20Speaker 2: What are we doing to strengthen our community? What are
- 16:23Speaker 2: we doing to strengthen the brothers and sisters that we
- 16:28Speaker 2: fellowship with, that we served God with amen. Movement is powerful,
- 16:37Speaker 2: but so is stability. Let me say that again. Movement
- 16:42Speaker 2: is very powerful, but stability is just as powerful. All right,
- 16:52Speaker 2: So here are some things that we need to focus
- 16:55Speaker 2: on while we close out this chapter. We're looking at
- 16:59Speaker 2: these God opens the doors. God is the one who
- 17:03Speaker 2: opens the door. And then our part is we walk
- 17:09Speaker 2: through the door that God has opened. Amen. But we
- 17:15Speaker 2: never take credit for that open door, right, Paul did
- 17:20Speaker 2: not take credit. Barnabas did not take credit. So when
- 17:24Speaker 2: you go and you have successful ministry, and just like
- 17:28Speaker 2: I'm rejoicing over the fact that we have been listened
- 17:31Speaker 2: on fee spot, that is an open door by the Lord,
- 17:35Speaker 2: and we all need to pray and ask God what
- 17:38Speaker 2: to do? How do we walk through this? This is us,
- 17:41Speaker 2: This is not me. This is an opportunity to reach
- 17:45Speaker 2: more people with the gospel on a huge scale. And Man,
- 17:50Speaker 2: so when they come they come into the Life Chat,
- 17:52Speaker 2: they download the app. Guess what they're gonna see z
- 17:56Speaker 2: Own three. They're gonna see Corin. They're gonna see who's
- 17:58Speaker 2: in that life Chat, who's been faithful. Then they're gonna
- 18:02Speaker 2: look y'all up. They're gonna look on ig Facebook or whatever.
- 18:06Speaker 2: They're gonna check out your music, your skits or whatever.
- 18:09Speaker 2: They're gonna see how are they shining the light for
- 18:13Speaker 2: the gospel. This is not just about his hot nation
- 18:17Speaker 2: and not about me. This is an open door for
- 18:21Speaker 2: the Lord. Amen, hallelujah. How are we going to walk
- 18:28Speaker 2: through that door? And we never forget the community that
- 18:34Speaker 2: sent us out right, We don't forget our supporters. We
- 18:39Speaker 2: don't forget our leaders, those who hold us accountable. And
- 18:45Speaker 2: not like we're bigger than our pastors now or I'm
- 18:47Speaker 2: bigger than my spiritual leader. On this, I don't care
- 18:50Speaker 2: if you're the most famous Christian artist out there. You
- 18:54Speaker 2: still need that accountability. Hey man, this is a kingdom,
- 18:59Speaker 2: this is spiritual. Our ministry will thrive with accountability. And
- 19:09Speaker 2: when we celebrate each other with humility, we stay humble. Right.
- 19:16Speaker 2: God resists the proud, but he gives grace to the humble.
- 19:21Speaker 2: And then we need a time of rest. It's okay, right,
- 19:26Speaker 2: take that Sabbath rest, spend time with your family, spend
- 19:30Speaker 2: time alone with the Lord, spend time just sleep all
- 19:34Speaker 2: day if you need to, you man, especially after a
- 19:37Speaker 2: huge victory. And then I'm gonna take my own advice
- 19:40Speaker 2: on that. When I love to rest, you know what
- 19:42Speaker 2: I mean, And take time with the community, celebrate with
- 19:48Speaker 2: your brothers and sisters. Amen. As a matter of fact,
- 19:52Speaker 2: I want to give a shout out to our young
- 19:56Speaker 2: Prince Royal Blue He just turned ten years old last
- 20:00Speaker 2: December and he has an opportunity to serve on the
- 20:07Speaker 2: usher board at church. And so we went out got
- 20:10Speaker 2: him some clothes so he can look nice. And he
- 20:16Speaker 2: came early and he was opening the doors for the families,
- 20:20Speaker 2: the ladies and the children, and he had a little
- 20:23Speaker 2: name tag and you know, they made him the leader
- 20:26Speaker 2: right of his youth, and so he was really loving it.
- 20:32Speaker 2: He said, he wants to do this every Sunday to
- 20:34Speaker 2: come and help and work in the church. Come on,
- 20:38Speaker 2: that is an open door to pour into this young life.
- 20:41Speaker 2: That is an opportunity to raise up a young disciple,
- 20:45Speaker 2: a young man for the Kingdom of God, show them
- 20:49Speaker 2: how to serve the Lord. Hallelujah. And after we went
- 20:56Speaker 2: after church, I told him, you know what, We're gonna
- 20:58Speaker 2: celebrate your first day as an usher and we are
- 21:04Speaker 2: going to go to actually the restaurant of his choice.
- 21:12Speaker 2: And he ended up being a cheesecake factory, but it
- 21:17Speaker 2: was two packed we could go there. So then we
- 21:19Speaker 2: ended up going to Golden Corral to celebrate his first
- 21:23Speaker 2: date as an usher. We need to celebrate as a community.
- 21:28Speaker 2: Ay man, all right, let's take a break.

- 24:35Speaker 1: didn't even know. Sick. Don't movie some time. It's something

- 24:45Speaker 1: crowd It's just one crawd dog. It's just on crown.
- 24:50Speaker 6: Mama said, go to colors. Had to drop the car,
- 24:53Speaker 6: Like yay, it's just one crown dog. It's just one crown.
- 25:00Speaker 6: It's just one crowd dog.
- 25:01Speaker 1: It's just one crowd.
- 25:04Speaker 2: Uh.
- 25:04Speaker 4: You are listening to the light of Las Vegas. This
- 25:08Speaker 4: is the Hiss Hop radio show.
- 25:27Speaker 2: All right, we are back from the break. And that
- 25:30Speaker 2: was Caleb Jordan with the song Upside Down. You know
- 25:36Speaker 2: the way up in the Kingdom is down. If we
- 25:38Speaker 2: stay humble, it doesn't matter how high God elevates us,
- 25:43Speaker 2: because we are always on our knees before him. Amen.
- 25:50Speaker 2: We will not stumble as we stay humble, and I'm
- 25:54Speaker 2: humble even now what God is doing with us with
- 25:58Speaker 2: this podcast. Amen, we live life upside down. Hallelujah. All right, y'all,
- 26:08Speaker 2: will it is time for that accountability partner segment, accountability
- 26:14Speaker 2: partner kind of birth out of my heart and my
- 26:17Speaker 2: concern for of course all people, but for the church. Right,
- 26:24Speaker 2: there's a lot of people who go to church. And
- 26:27Speaker 2: I'm not talking about occult and false ministries. I'm talking
- 26:30Speaker 2: about the actual body of Christ. There's a parable that
- 26:34Speaker 2: says that there's wheat and there's tears that are next
- 26:37Speaker 2: to each other. So we don't know. Like I pray,
- 26:40Speaker 2: I hope there's no tear on my chair, right, you know,
- 26:43Speaker 2: I pray that I stay right. The Bible says to
- 26:46Speaker 2: work out our salvation through fear and trembling. Amen. But
- 26:51Speaker 2: also our brothers and sisters. You know, it's like we
- 26:55Speaker 2: don't take sin serious. We don't take the word serious.
- 26:59Speaker 2: We don't take time to read the word or take
- 27:02Speaker 2: time and prayer, you know, and we just continue to
- 27:05Speaker 2: live in our flesh, our sin. We never come to
- 27:08Speaker 2: maturity in Christ. I don't know. I'm just saying I'm
- 27:11Speaker 2: just following the word, and there's going to be a
- 27:16Speaker 2: majority of people in church that are on their way
- 27:19Speaker 2: to Hell. And it's like who can be saved? Like
- 27:22Speaker 2: who's really gonna make it those who walk on that
- 27:26Speaker 2: narrow path. All we could do is and grab the word,
- 27:30Speaker 2: look at the word, check our hearts and check each other,
- 27:35Speaker 2: be a community and pray for one another. Amen. Hell
- 27:40Speaker 2: is a place I don't want anyone to go to,
- 27:43Speaker 2: and so that was my heart for the accountability Partner segment.
- 27:47Speaker 2: I've been working the altar at church and I see
- 27:51Speaker 2: some of my brothers sisters struggling with the same old sin.
- 27:55Speaker 2: The power of the cross, the power of the blood,
- 27:58Speaker 2: the power of God gives us victory. Right, there's got
- 28:02Speaker 2: to be a point where we truly tap in the
- 28:05Speaker 2: truth is we still sin because we still love it? Right,
- 28:09Speaker 2: if we didn't love it, we wouldn't do it. We
- 28:11Speaker 2: love it more then we love our Jesus. We just
- 28:17Speaker 2: gotta be honest with ourselves, and I get be transparent.
- 28:21Speaker 2: There's been a lot of times I find found my
- 28:25Speaker 2: place loving my sin more that I loved my relationship
- 28:29Speaker 2: with God. And so even just recently I'm refinding my
- 28:34Speaker 2: relationship on putting God first, and I'm getting more of
- 28:37Speaker 2: a hunger and a desperation and putting them where he belongs.
- 28:41Speaker 2: He belongs as our first love in our hearts. Amen.

- 32:23Speaker 2: gotta stay humble, and you've got to report back to
- 32:29Speaker 2: the work that God has been doing. And then we
- 32:34Speaker 2: need to celebrate together the hand of God, hallelujah. And
