word to you and we are gonna be in proverbs chapter 24 proverbs chapter 24
as we do our part 4 of our welcome home series proverbs chapter 24 27 30 through
31 it says put first things first prepare your work outside and get it
ready for yourself in the field somebody say in the field and afterward build
your house does it say before build your house or after after build your house
and establish a home I went by the field of the lazy man and by the vineyard of
the man void of understanding and behold it was all grown over with thorns and
nettles were covering its face and his stone wall was broken down today we are
going to continue our welcome home series this is part 4 and if you're
taking notes and I hope you are because we were staying here at one church that
paper never forgets I want you to title this one servant leadership is our
identity servant leadership is our identity can I pray with you as we begin
Jesus we just thank you Father lord I thank you for this word and Holy
Spirit I just ask that your heart be conveyed today in this service lord I
thank you that they don't hear what I'm saying but God they hear your heart and
what I think your compelling people to be in the field father I declare this is
a God appointed word at a god appointed time father I declare that every ear
open and receptive every heart will be softened for the seed of the word of God
we declare every life will be changed in Jesus name and everybody said amen you
know I've heard it said that there's Wow preachers and there's al preachers and I
would say Pastor Brian is a WoW preacher like he's just wow like every time I
hear him I'm like you are my favorite preacher you are so good but I think I'm
probably like an owl preacher not the WoW preacher so today I'm just telling
you like I'm gonna bring you a word and I'm just still tell you that right now
there is therefore now no condemnation I see all of you like you are active
members of the dream team you're actively serving you're actively in the
field you know we've been in the series called welcome home and every year we
have a new declaration and Brian and I don't just make this up we truly get
before God and say God what is your heart for your people for this next year
and so we spend time in prayer just really asking God what is it that you
want to declare over your house for this year and this year when we were praying
we really felt the Lord just saying welcome home and so it's more than just
a slogan on a shirt it's more than something on a worship guide I really
believe it's coming from the heart of God for us as a church to declare
welcome home and so in that we've been talking about what we value as a church
because every place that you go to you know they have different values they
have different things and why are our values so important because whatever you
value will determine what you focus on what you treasure and we'll set the
direction of your life see I can see what you value by what your calendar
looks like I can see what you value by what your checkbook looks like come on
you'll see Nordstrom in mind and Sephora amen I value it but I can see what you
value by what you say yes to and what you say no to and so we as a church what
we've been talking about is the things that we value here at our house you know
every house has different ways that they do things that was funny in my family
one of the things we do for Christmas is we make gingerbread houses and we each
get one Bradley gets one bear gets one I have one and Brian has one and and then
we have a competition of whose is the best
I usually don't win I'm not very good at crafty things but anyway so we make our
gingerbread houses and we had my nephew one day bear was little bitty and we
leave our gingerbread houses out forever like it's almost Valentine's and I have
to plead with my kids like at this point it's disgusting to have this out like
this is gross at a certain point when it's growing mold it's time to go
because sugar shouldn't grow mold right and so we had my nephew over and bear
was little and Ian saw the gingerbread houses out and in his mind he saw snack
and so he went over and started eating the stuff off the gingerbread house to
which bear was little bitty and he started crying he said mom is eating our
memories and I had to explained it in you know at our house we don't need
gingerbread houses there just to look at but it Inns house they make gingerbread
houses and then they devour them so to him where he came from it was acceptable
but he was learning at the sparks house what we value and the way that we do
things and that's what this whole welcome home series has been about as us
as a church establishing what we value here at one church so part one Pastor
Brian did an awesome message Jesus is our message and then part two he talked
about people are our heart and then he went into last week was incredible he
talked about generosity is our privilege and today part four we're talking about
servant leadership is our identity you know recently I made the mistake of
inviting people over to my house for dinner and I say a mistake because all
the wives in here are gonna understand what I'm talking about
whenever you invite people over for dinner it sounds like a sweet notion you
know there's there's family people that you invite over for dinner that they've
seen your house messy they've seen the real you and then there's people that
you invite over and they've never seen your house in its natural habitat right
and so this was one of those occasions and they were like can I bring anything
I'm like no girl we'll just have some sandwiches it'll be chill no big deal
and then when we got ready to have them over Brian's out doing landscaping I
went to Costco and bought steaks I decided I needed a new furniture cuz I'm
like how do we live with this and I'm screaming at my kids as I'm like
vacuuming I'm like let please just make it look like we don't live here I know
that you never have to put up your shoes but today
you will put up your shoes in Jesus name y'all know what I'm talking about and
like you're like you're up till two o'clock in the morning and you're baking
you never bake your kids know that you don't bake but for some reason people
are coming over so you're like I have to bake I have to pretend like I'm this
awesome amazing wife who has a perfect house and perfect furniture and perfect
stuff and we eat steaks all the time for dinner this is normal for us right and
so I'm up I get no sleep and then finally it's like getting close to them
being there and I'm sweeping the floor again right and I see their car come in
and you open up the door you like praise the Lord amen
we're so glad you're here come on in oh this house you know it's nothing at all
you know it's kind of dirty and you're thinking this is cleanness it's ever
been since we've lived here and they sit down and and you're cooking and they're
like can I help you you're like no I've had no sleep cleaning for you to come
over don't help just watch me it's really it's fine like this is all
for you we want you to enjoy and so they said and they eat and they were there
and they were just laughing having their best life at my house and they're
laughing and talking that I looked at Brian and I thought these people are
never gonna leave our house like I think they think they're moving in like do
they have suitcases alright because it just keeps getting later and I know that
I have to clean up all this mess when you leave come on somebody and so I'm
like all right well we're tired we're gonna let you go now and so and then
Brian and I are like cleaning the dishes and wiping the counters and back to
sweeping the floors and a mic man having people over is a lot of work this is a
lot of work and I say that to say when I was thinking about this whole series of
welcome-home and servant leadership is our identity I got to thinking about
whenever I extended the invitation to those friends there was no question who
was going to cook the food there is no question who was going to go to the
grocery store or who was going to stay up late baking the cake or who was going
to be there to greet them when they arrived who was gonna sit there and talk
to them and hear about their dead dog Sally and how much they loved her and
blah blah blah like there was no question right there was no question who
was gonna stay late when the party was over with the invitation came the
responsibility that I was gonna be the one that was going to do all those
things and I begin to think about us is a church with us
chewing the Declaration of welcome-home what we are also saying is there's a
level of responsibility on this house to say we will be the ones to greet you we
will be the ones preparing for you we will be the ones that stay after
everybody's gone come on somebody because why you're coming into our house
and we are gonna make sure that when you come to our house everything's going to
be in order everything's going to be in place and so
today I want you to look at the description and Isaiah chapter 54 verse
2 you're gonna love this so much I love this because the Lord is talking to his
people and he tells them enlarge the place of your tent and let the curtains
of your habitations be stretched out spare not somebody say spare not
lengthen your cords and strengthen your sakes I love this so much because God is
letting his people know I'm about to expand my house I'm about to do
something so great and so big and he lets them know they're spare not in
other words the bigness of the house is determined by how big they make it if
they're willing to go all out and totally stretch out and as you read
through Isaiah he gives them specific instructions on the size now I want you
to remember that whenever the Bible was written they didn't have fancy things to
be able to measure things out and so they measured things called cubits they
measured him in cubits and cubits with simply this a hand width so put your
hand like that's that would be one cubit right and so when when the Bible's
talking about something being 50 cubits that means 50 hands so he's saying I'm
about to make my house bigger but for my house to be bigger more hands have to
get involved if my house is really gonna enlarge it's gonna take more people
getting involved and I want to tell you here at one church that God is about to
do something so big but in that declaration of welcome-home it's going
to take more hands getting involved since September 1st we've seen a hundred
and fifty people give their life to Jesus come on somebody and that amazing
150 people have given their life to Jesus but you know what that means
that's more community groups that we need
that's more cars that need to be part that's more people at a front door
there's more kids that need to be taught the Word of God
it means this lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes this is not the
time to lean back this is not the time to say oh no no I don't really have time
to do that well somebody else can do that no this is the time for us to say
God what are you calling me to do what is it that my hand can contribute so we
can lengthen our cords and strengthen our stakes you know whenever we read
that opening passage we see there that two people have a field two people have
a field and I want to tell you that God is an equal field distributor you have a
field you're like no I live in a subdivision no I'm here to tell you
according to the Word of God everybody has a field so you're a lien owner
congratulations but in that there comes a responsibility
and so for me when I was reading through proverbs chapter 24 I was interested
what does this mean like is he talking about a literal field because I want you
to be mindful that whenever we read the Bible reread it in English but it wasn't
written in English I know shocked right it wasn't written in English in there
the way they wrote was with word pictures and so this word field was so
much bigger than a little bitty pasture like this word field was a big word had
multi meanings and so the first meaning of this word field was that it was a
place of battle it was a place of battle so in you having your field which is
symbolic of the church it means it's a place of fight and I
want to let you know that every attack that happens on your fly on your life
has one assignment and that's to get you out of the field to get you out of the
church everything that happens in your life it's not really about the fight
spouses that you had last night it's not really about the kids it's not really
about the finances it's not really about all the stuff every attack that happens
on your life has one agenda and that's to get you out of the church I am so
amazed about how when hard times happen and things are heating up in our lives
that often times the first thing we do is get out of the field see the enemy
knows they can get you out of the field he can rob the harvest from you
the devil cannot take anything from you but you can't surrender it and the way
you surrender is by getting out of the field it's like oh I'm just too busy I'm
just too messed up to serve I'm just I've got too much stuff going on friend
let me tell you I believe that Jesus went died gave his life on a cross I am
not too busy to give him two hours of my week to come and stay in my field come
on somebody but every attack on your life so the Bible is letting us know
that this isn't going to be an easy thing that he's called us to I love this
in Ephesians chapter 6 verse 12 it says that we wrestle not against flesh and
blood but against powers and principalities so in other words it's
more spiritual than what you think the attack that's happening on your life
it's all about the field it's all about the field because in the field is the
harvest and the enemy wants to keep you out of your place in the field the
second meaning of the field is it's a place for sports which means it's a
place of discipline who see I told you there's why our preachers and there's
our preachers Pastor Brian will be back next week you'll get a great Wow message
right and so but it's a place for sports it's a place of discipline I was
listening to Lewis Howes and he's an Olympian and he was just talking about
all the training that he did getting ready for the Olympics and he said you
know the one thing that was a congruent theme with all of the athletes training
for the Olympics he said it didn't matter whether we were doing skiing
skiing or running or what it was swimming he said every athlete had been
had a tenacious commitment to discipline he said we had made up our mind in
advance that we were going to Train we didn't consult our feelings when the
alarm clock went off at 4:30 in the morning whether or not we were in a
train we had already made up our mind that no matter what it took we were
gonna put in the time put in the effort and he goes and that's what got us to
the Olympics and I think about that how when the Lord talks about it's a place
of athletes a place of discipline it's just saying this I've made up my mind in
advance that I'm gonna stay in the field I've made up my mind in advance that's
why that scripture asked for me and my house we will serve the Lord didn't say
we will serve the Lord if our schedule works out come on it doesn't say I will
serve the Lord if I feel like it that morning no it says in
Vance I've already made up my mind no matter what happens I'm gonna stay in
the field I must say with what God's called me to do see the interesting
thing when you read through the Bible you see that there's disciples and
there's the crowd thousands were in the crowd twelve were
the disciples in three were his inner circle the twelve and the three saw more
than the thousands but the reason why they saw more because they were willing
to go through the fight they were able to do the discipline and they were able
to do the third thing which is the field is a place of farming now I live in the
country and it's good I love it and I've got farmers around me I don't know what
they farm but they're out there just like getting it I don't know what
they're doing but they're growing something and they're like serious about
whatever they're growing so but I see them all the time and the one thing I've
noticed in farmers out in my area is they're always by themselves like it's
one man on a tractor like he didn't have all of his guy friends out there and
everybody's just living their best life no he's out there plowing that field by
himself and I'm going to think about how the field that God's called us to
sometimes we're gonna feel really alone and it's a place of patience and just
being faithful to what God has called you to do even when nobody's applauding
you even when nobody's cheering you on because I'll tell you right now there's
been times where I'm back in the preschool and ain't nobody like girl
ain't nobody teaching these kids like you nobody's doing it like you know it's
an alone place the guys who pull the trailer first thing in the morning it's
an alone place when everybody leaves today and you're eating your lunch at
Denny's living your best life there's gonna be somebody here loading that
trailer going alone it's an alone place but what is it
they're being faithful in the field that God has called them to they're saying
God even if I'm not name's not in lights even if nobody cheers me on I'm gonna do
what you called me to do see the 12 and the three saw more than the thousands
and I'll tell you that in your life there's got to be this place where you
say you know what I want to see more and some of you are in this place of
spiritual dissatisfaction and I'll just say this that if everything's coming in
and nothing's going out that's why you're dissatisfied when you start
giving your life away to other people is when you'll go to the next level of
spiritual growth come on somebody god did not save you to come and sit
service for an hour every week God saved you to begin in the field and to begin a
co laborer with what he's doing come on take three seconds to praise God like
you minute it's an unseen it's a it's a lonely place so a few declarations for
us that are in the field are you getting something out of this the first one is
this people in the field have a declaration of this I am responsible
people who are in the field that is their declaration I am responsible come
on say it with me I am responsible see we live in a culture and a time that's
everybody else's fault we're late for an appointment and we blame it on the
traffic but the truth is we knew it took 15 minutes to get there and we left five
minutes before we were supposed to arrive come on because it's always
somebody else's fault but a true sign of maturity is when you begin to assume
responsibility see whenever I invited people over to my house there was only
two groups of people who weren't responsible to do anything the first
group were my kids I didn't expect my kids to do anything they picked up their
shoes but that was it I didn't expect the guests to do anything but everybody
who is of maturity age had a part to play and spiritually wise when we start
with if we really want to grow up in God it's when we start declaring I am
responsible I'm not waiting for somebody else to do it
I'm not waiting for somebody else to SEPA in other words this church will be
as friendly as you are friendly this church will have kids that know God as
much as you are willing to teach them the Word of God this church will be able
to have more missions arms and more things in our community as you are
willing to serve in them this church will disciple people as effectively as
you are willing to start a group come on somebody but here's the thing is most
the time we look around and with somebody else's job it's somebody else's
responsibility somebody else should do that I was last weekend it was like the
perfect storm and Angelica and Christian decided to have a baby and there are
kids hosters it was really cool and so they decided to have a baby and and
we've got some of our people over in Sulphur Springs right now getting that
campus started and so it was like a trifecta of where everything lined up
and we had nobody to teach kids it was Friday and I realized that there was no
one to teach kids literally no one to teach kids and here's the thing is I
wasn't getting ready in my bathroom that morning and the Lord come down and say
crystal you are called to teach children that didn't happen I saw a need in the
field and I decided I can feel the need I've never taught kids before but I'm
really good at having fun so we could do that and so I'm back there and I'm
teaching kids and we're having the best time and a lady came back there and if
you're here hello I love you and she came back there and she was holding a
donut in one hand and a coffee in the other and she looked at me and she goes
isn't our church kind of big for you to be backing kids in other words she says
she's saying isn't somebody else responsible for this and I begin to
think you know I'm not too big to do this it doesn't matter the size of our
church it's the matter of the size of my heart and there's no place too small
there's no place to hidden there's no place to discipline I'm thankful that
this is my place in the field today and I'll just say this that if you're too
big to serve you're too small to lead and maybe God's not taking you to the
next level because you can't be in a hidden place maybe God's not taking you
somewhere bigger because you can't serve in a area where everybody's cheering you
on and everybody's applauding you and girls your birthday you're doing awesome
because let me just tell you those kids they wasn't like that
it was every man for himself but I'm a survivor I'm just Bayboro we had so much
fun and you know why it was so sweet today because one of the little boys
that was back there last week he came right up to me and he said are you gonna
be my teacher again this week I said no I gotta teach the other service today
but next week I might be there he goes yes and I say that to say it wasn't a
lesser calling I felt just as used in the field over there as I do right here
there's no lesser place there's no lesser calling and I want to tell you
that whenever we truly get a revelation of our place in the field we'll begin to
declare I am responsible it doesn't matter if
called chew it it doesn't matter if I feel anointed for it it doesn't matter
if I feel gifted for it I have two hands I have two feet I have a voice that can
speak and if somebody needs love I can give it to her if somebody needs a door
open I can do it if a dona needs to be served i can serve a doughnut
if the trash needs to be taken out i can take out the trash if it's a guitar that
needs to be played i can play the guitar whatever the place in the field I am
responsible look at this scripture in Luke chapter 10 verse 2 and this is in
the passion translation so good it says Jesus is speaking he says the harvest is
huge and ripe but there are not enough harvesters to bring it all in as you go
plead with the owner of the harvest to drive out into the harvest fields many
more workers Jesus is letting the people know here
listen to me it's not a harvest problem this city has so many people waiting to
hear the message but we're only gonna grow as big as you are involved as long
as it's pastor Brian and crystals responsibility it'll never grow but when
you get involved and the person next to you gets involved then all of a sudden
will begin to grow like never before at one church we aren't just hoping it's
going to get better but we're responding with the abilities that God has given us
the second declaration that we have is that we know our field we know our field
Brian and I we bought our property and we knew the size of our land but when we
moved in we couldn't find our little stakes you know the surveyor stakes to
show us where our property line was and my house y'all I was just so thankful I
was raised in the ghetto poor I had a house that rats like the size of cats
we lived with like they had names I guess well I was racing together my mom
wouldn't eat most days so that way my brother and I could eat beans and
potatoes we would have it for weeks on end because that's all she could afford
I remember being in the grocery line with my mom counting food stamps and not
having enough food stamps and having to put groceries back so for me when we
bought our house I'm like just thank you Jesus like walking to the coffee pot of
money thank you Jesus this is amazed I walk outside and I see money like
everything God's dead I was just so thankful and Brian's the type he makes
friends with every neighbor that's around and I hate him for that he's
always like he makes friends with everyone and so he'll see our neighbor
he's like come on in Crystal's in her pajamas drinking coffee don't worry
about her just come on in snuggle up next to her I'm like why do you do this
to me and so he was making friends with all the neighbors we had been living
there for a while it had been over a month and he had kept asking people he
said hey do you know who owns the lot behind our land and people would say no
and finally he was talking to one guy and he asked him the same question do
you know who owns the lot behind our land and he said which lot and he goes
is it before or after the fence and Brian said before the fancy goes Brian
that's your land and Brian goes really and he said yeah you own all the way
back to the fence and Brian was like oh my gosh and he said something and I this
is stuck with me and he said this I would have taken so
much better care of it if I would have known it was mine and when I've been
reading this in proverbs chapter 24 I can't help but think when we get to
heaven we're gonna realize the field that we'd been given and we're gonna say
I would have I would have loved that kid if I would have known that it was in my
field I would have been willing to wave at that car from the parking lot team if
I would have known that was my field because God's gonna show you how your
place in the field and what you did and did not do in that field and I don't
want to have that kind of declaration when I come into the kingdom of heaven I
want to have the declaration of God I gave everything I had to the field I
gave it har in his soul I was there I didn't know how to teach kids but I
could love them I could have fun with him I didn't know how to park cars but I
was willing to wave I didn't know how to make the best coffee but Lord I did the
best I could I want to give everything I have I want to leave it in the field but
you gotta know your field I love Matt mcquarters so much and he's a him and
Juan ortiz their firefighter paramedics and i see him sometimes and it breaks my
heart cuz they'll be up on a 24 hour shift and then they show up
to serve and I'm always like Matt don't do this like you didn't sleep last night
why are you here and with tears in his eyes every single
time he goes past a crystal how can I not be here it's my honor to put out
these signs it's my honor to wave at these people as they drive by it's my
honor to do this how can I not do this and what he's saying is I know my field
this is my field and that's what begins to happen when you begin to realize I'm
not gonna be the kind of person that looks like everybody else and says it's
their job I'm gonna wait for somebody else to do it I have two hands I have
two feet I have a voice that can speak I can't do everything but I can't do
something I'm not gonna have excuses I'm gonna begin to say this is my place the
last thing I want to let you know it's time to stay in your field trees don't
get offended and move into other fields and the Lord doesn't say you'll get a
field transfer you have a field I love this in Psalm 92 verse 13 it says those
that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our
God I love that so much and I teach you guys that the same way we can read it
forward we can also read it backward if your life's in decay it did hit in decay
it's because you cease to be planning you've gotten out of the field you can
take the most lively tree and uproot it and it'll be dead in no time and some of
us the devil starts attacking and we start pulling ourself out of the field
we start compromising on coming to church we start compromising on serving
they don't really need me there it doesn't really matter and little by
little things in our life start messing up why cuz even the biggest of trees
will rot and die if they don't stay planted in the field you got to stay in
your field you know in our opening scripture there in proverbs chapter 24
we see two men giving fields the first man let's look at that it says
put first things first prepare your work outside and get it ready for yourself in
the field and afterward build your house and establish a home then when you read
on I want you to see that it makes no mention of a house of the other man's
field it just talks about how he got out of the field and everything was
overgrown and it talks about how there was a fence all around it and I want you
to see these two things as we close out our time together number one when you
stop planning yourself in the field you're building a fence that's keeping
people out it says seeing the little translation of that word field it was a
wide-open field it was a field that was made with no fences so that way
everybody from the outside could easily come in but the man who neglected the
field he built a fence he built a fence that kept people out
let me tell you friend every time that you pull yourself out of the field
somebody's not gonna enter the kingdom because of your lack of responsibility
it's somebody who's not gonna hear the message it's somebody that's not gonna
hear because nobody can do it like you nobody can greet them like you nobody
can reach them like you and the second thing is with our house isn't built and
it's not established see the man the lazy man when he pulled himself out of
the field the thing he wanted he didn't even get and the funny thing is here's
the funny thing is we get so busy with the household things the the life things
the life things that just pull us away and we get distracted and the sad thing
is we get busy building our house instead of staying in the field and the
truth is when we say in the field God builds our house and we start trying to
build our house and we pull out of the church and when we pull out of the
church we lose the thing that we left the church for the first place for like
just stay in the field stay where God has you
I want to close our time together we just if you're comfortable just open
your hands just like this right where you're at and I want you to just ask the
Holy Spirit Holy Spirit what are you saying to me Lord right now you're
looking into our hearts and you're speaking things God we just declare that
there's no lack of the harvest there's no lack in the harvest that you're ready
to bring us so God right now we're here is your people and Lord we declare we
have two hints we have two feet we have a voice that can speak God what do you
what do you want to do through us lord I thank you for every person in this place
that Lord they're seeing that they're in the field and with that comes a fight
and with that comes patience and with that comes discipline and so father
right now we just say yes so whatever you have for us because we want to be
those people that our house is built and our house is established we don't want
to lose the home and trying to guard our own lives so lord I thank you that your
word says that when we lose our life we gain it so father right now we just
declare that we're gonna stay in the field we're gonna be faithful to what
you have in Jesus name right now in the sound of my voice
you might not know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior but friend let me tell
you there's no greater prayer that you can pray than that the Bible says that
Jesus came to serve not to be served and before you even breathed your first
breath Jesus gave his life for you he thought that you were worth everything
and that's who I want to tell you about today maybe maybe you've never asked
Jesus into your heart or into your life maybe you've never you've known him but
you've walked away you've made some mistakes but today you feel like God's
calling you back into relationship with him friend let me tell you there's no
better day to start off your relationship with Jesus than today with
every head bowed every eye closed if you don't know Jesus Christ or you want to
rededicate your life to him every head bowed every eye closed I want to pray
with you right where you are can you raise your hand on the count of three
one two three lift your hand in this place oh my goodness thank you
his hands everywhere goodness all right let's pray this prayer together as a
church family Lord Jesus I give you my heart I give you my life take my sins
and by your grace I take your righteousness in Jesus name and
everybody said amen come on can you all give it up a big hand clap right there
so awesome so awesome now let me just tell you that those of you that just
prayed that prayer you're gonna go home and you're gonna feel like everything
about your life is that safe but the Bible says the minute you pray that
prayer is seif of eternity was planted inside your heart and we want to
celebrate with you can you take a moment and text the keyword decided to 3 3 7 33
if you just prayed that prayer to either ask Jesus into your life for the first
time or maybe you wanted to rededicate your life to Jesus we want to make sure
you have everything you need as you begin this journey ahead faith hey thank
