  Pastor Robert Young: Hi friends, today let's do a recap of what we've discussed all this week.
• 0:10
  Pastor Robert Young: We looked at what it means to live in a world that is obsessed with self while serving a king who preached sacrifice.
• 0:21
  Pastor Robert Young: In John chapter 18, verse 36, Jesus told Pilate, My kingdom is not of this world.
• 0:30
  Pastor Robert Young: He wasn't just talking about a location, he was talking about a system.
• 0:36
  Pastor Robert Young: Let's walk through five key shifts to help you live like a local of heaven right here on earth.
• 0:44
  Pastor Robert Young: First, we have to settle the question of origin.
• 0:49
  Pastor Robert Young: The world says your power comes from how loud you shout or how much force you can exert.
• 0:56
  Pastor Robert Young: But Jesus said if his kingdom were of this world, his servants would be fighting.
• 1:03
  Pastor Robert Young: But we know they weren't.
• 1:05
  Pastor Robert Young: Why?
• 1:06
  Pastor Robert Young: Because kingdom authority doesn't need to force its way in.
• 1:10
  Pastor Robert Young: The world fights for territory.
• 1:13
  Pastor Robert Young: The kingdom fights for hearts.
• 1:16
  Pastor Robert Young: So ask yourself today, are you fighting battles using the world's weapons of manipulation and aggression?
• 1:25
  Pastor Robert Young: Or are you standing firm in the quiet confidence of the Holy Spirit?
• 1:31
  Pastor Robert Young: You don't need to shout to be heard by God.
• 1:35
  Pastor Robert Young: Second, let's look at greatness.
• 1:38
  Pastor Robert Young: If you look at the corporate ladder, the goal is always up, upward mobility, more people serving you, more money to be made.
• 1:50
  Pastor Robert Young: But Jesus flips the pyramid upside down.
• 1:54
  Pastor Robert Young: In the kingdom, greatness is downward mobility.
• 2:00
  Pastor Robert Young: He said, Whoever would be great among you must be your servant.
• 2:06
  Pastor Robert Young: In God's economy, the one who kneels the lowest stands the tallest.
• 2:13
  Pastor Robert Young: True success isn't about who you can command or how much money you can make.
• 2:18
  Pastor Robert Young: It's about who you can lift up.
• 2:22
  Pastor Robert Young: Third, we have to talk about currency.
• 2:25
  Pastor Robert Young: The currency of the world is anxiety.
• 2:29
  Pastor Robert Young: It's the belief that resources are scarce, so you have to grab what you can.
• 2:35
  Pastor Robert Young: But the currency of the kingdom is trust.
• 2:39
  Pastor Robert Young: Matthew 6 tells us to seek first the kingdom, and everything else will be added.
• 2:47
  Pastor Robert Young: The world operates on hoarding.
• 2:49
  Pastor Robert Young: The kingdom operates on flow.
• 2:53
  Pastor Robert Young: When you align with God's way, you stop striving for security and start resting in his provision.
• 3:01
  Pastor Robert Young: You trade your worry for his peace.
• 3:05
  Pastor Robert Young: And finally, how do we fight and how do we think?
• 3:10
  Pastor Robert Young: The world says, hate your enemy.
• 3:13
  Pastor Robert Young: It's a transaction.
• 3:14
  Pastor Robert Young: You hurt me, I hurt you.
• 3:16
  Pastor Robert Young: But the kingdom offers a radical weapon.
• 3:22
  Pastor Robert Young: Love your enemies.
• 3:24
  Pastor Robert Young: Love disrupts the cycle of hate, it confuses the darkness.
• 3:30
  Pastor Robert Young: But you can't do that with a worldly mind.
• 3:33
  Pastor Robert Young: That's why Romans 12 tells us do not be conformed, but be transformed.
• 3:41
  Pastor Robert Young: You have to rewrite your mental scripts.
• 3:45
  Pastor Robert Young: When the world says panic, your spirit says pray.
• 3:49
  Pastor Robert Young: When the world says get even, your spirit says grace.
• 3:55
  Pastor Robert Young: Now, of course, living this way isn't easy.
• 3:58
  Pastor Robert Young: It makes you look different, it makes you look alien.
• 4:02
  Pastor Robert Young: And that's exactly the point.
• 4:04
  Pastor Robert Young: You are an ambassador of a different country.
• 4:09
  Pastor Robert Young: So let's end today's wrap-up with this affirmation.
• 4:13
  Pastor Robert Young: Say it with me, or just listen and let it settle in your heart.
• 4:19
  Pastor Robert Young: I am in this world, but I am not defined by it.
• 4:25
  Pastor Robert Young: I do not chase the spotlight, I chase the opportunity to serve.
• 4:32
  Pastor Robert Young: I refuse to live in anxiety, and I choose to love even when it's hard.
• 4:40
  Pastor Robert Young: My King is Jesus, and his way is my standard.
• 4:46
  Pastor Robert Young: Amen.
