WEBVTT 00:00:11.200 --> 00:00:13.040 How are we doing, church? 00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:16.560 And we love our moms. 00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:19.039 We love our moms. 00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:19.920 We value you. 00:00:20.079 --> 00:00:21.520 We appreciate you. 00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:28.960 I have a my own mom is a praying mom, which is probably a good thing because I got in enough trouble that she needed to pray a lot. 00:00:29.200 --> 00:00:30.560 And it was real special. 00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:48.640 And uh, but I just we appreciate moms, and we know that in this time and that we have in our culture that sometimes there's blended families that take on parents that or take on kids that are moms, and that end up being moms that just take on a family on their own, and so we just appreciate all moms, grandmothers, aunts, just say thank you. 00:00:48.879 --> 00:00:53.359 We just we need you, we need moms, and so we just appreciate you this morning, amen. 00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:55.280 Man, we love our moms. 00:00:55.759 --> 00:01:16.560 We are in a series called the Unstoppable Church, and Pastor Brody the last week just laid such a strong foundation for us, and then this morning uh Pastor Brody came to me and said, just we want to let you guys know that Pastor Dave next week is gonna be able to come and he's gonna be sharing here on Sunday. 00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:18.959 It's gonna be an amazing time. 00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:21.760 And the reason, one of the I love this. 00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:33.920 One of the reasons that we are able to do what we do as a church as KCC and our team here is because Pastor Dave built this church in such a way for us to be unstoppable. 00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:37.120 And so when he comes, he's actually coming with two things. 00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:42.959 He's coming with a good word, and he's coming with a book that he has written called His Church, His Way. 00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:46.640 And he really believes in this and he really has been fighting for this. 00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:48.879 We've heard him teach at our foundations class. 00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:55.200 But this is an opportunity to hear Pastor Dave's heart and the teaching that we've received over the years from him. 00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:56.560 It's been so invaluable. 00:01:56.719 --> 00:02:02.239 It's actually built what we see around us with people that he's brought on to help us be that unstoppable church. 00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:11.520 So I'm really excited to be able to hear Pastor Dave next week, uh, and in all that he's gonna be able to share, and he's gonna have an amazing testimony, hey, of what God's done for them and their family. 00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:12.800 So we're just excited. 00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:16.960 So, as I said last week, Pastor Brody spoke on the Unstoppable Church. 00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:22.159 Guess what he said a church isn't just a building, but a body. 00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:27.439 It's not just an institution, but it's a family, and it's a place of true community. 00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:31.439 So this week I want to build on that truth today. 00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:38.479 Because if we're gonna be an unstoppable church, we also need to be an unshakable church. 00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:42.879 And so this morning, I just want us to just lean into this, and I'm just gonna read the scripture. 00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:50.000 And Pastor Malachi has written, uh has said part of it, but I want to read verses 26 to 28 from Hebrews 12. 00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:58.639 And this time his voice shook the earth, and now he has promised, yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but the heavens. 00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:10.159 This phrase yet once more indicates the removal of things that are shaken, that is, things that have been made, in order that things that cannot be shaken may remain. 00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:21.759 Therefore, let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship with reverence and awe. 00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:28.639 Let's pray this morning, God, you are so good, you are deserving of our reverence and our awe. 00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:33.120 Lord, your kingdom is unshakable. 00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:40.960 Lord, and your church not only will be unstoppable, but Lord, we will be unshakable because of who you are. 00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:44.719 So this morning, let your word just ring in our hearts. 00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:50.479 And do what you need to do in our hearts this morning as we hear your word and we respond to your Holy Spirit. 00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:52.960 Bless this place this morning in Jesus' name. 00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:53.919 Amen. 00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:55.919 Thank you so much, team. 00:03:57.919 --> 00:03:59.680 So I want to start with this. 00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:03.520 I want you to imagine two houses. 00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:08.159 They're on the same street, same design, same builder. 00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:16.400 From the outside, they look the same, they look identical, they have fresh paint, same color, nice roof, nice yard, great curb appeal. 00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:25.360 Then a storm comes, and in that storm, it wasn't just a downpour, but it was thunder and lightning, the wind howled, the trees bent over. 00:04:25.520 --> 00:04:31.040 Things I was in a storm once in Alberta that shook things off of my um off of my shelf. 00:04:31.200 --> 00:04:34.800 We had cups and things coming off the shelf because the thunder was just hitting so hard. 00:04:34.960 --> 00:04:45.840 But the ground shakes, lightning cracks across the sky, the flood waters rise, you can see things are going all around, and it's the type of storm that reveals to you the things around you what's real and what's not. 00:04:46.080 --> 00:05:03.280 But when the storm finally passes, one house is still standing, it's solid, it's unmoved, the other is completely just devastated, it's collapsed, the rubble is everywhere, the foundations cracked, and everything is exposed. 00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:06.080 What was the difference between the two houses? 00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:08.000 It was the foundation. 00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:18.640 One was built deep, anchored to something that was solid, the other was built on a surface ground, good enough when the weather was good, but not when things get real. 00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:25.680 And here's the truth about storms is the storms don't create foundations, they reveal them. 00:05:26.640 --> 00:05:28.080 It's the same with us. 00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:34.000 We have the same church, the same church songs, the same Bible, the same Bible app. 00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:36.480 You get what you build. 00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:42.320 You get out of a Sunday service what you're willing to put into a Sunday service. 00:05:42.400 --> 00:05:46.640 You get out of your relationship with God what you want to put into your relationship with God. 00:05:46.880 --> 00:05:48.960 He will always come for you. 00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:52.800 When we seek him, he will come for you. 00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:58.640 But the storm reveals what our life is actually really built on. 00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:05.040 We're built on temporary comfort, or we're built on God's eternal truth. 00:06:05.520 --> 00:06:06.880 The things that stand. 00:06:07.440 --> 00:06:17.680 When everything around you shakes, when we've said it even in our songs, when relationship, finances, health, when the culture comes out, will you stand or will you fall? 00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:21.520 Because what you're standing on actually matters. 00:06:22.640 --> 00:06:29.680 And if you're rooted in Christ, no matter what happens, not only will you be unstoppable, you will also be unshakable. 00:06:30.640 --> 00:06:33.120 What I love about this is that we're part of something bigger. 00:06:33.280 --> 00:06:36.800 We're not, we're not part of a we're still part of a building and a program. 00:06:36.880 --> 00:06:40.000 We're part of God's kingdom, and that is the truth. 00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:41.520 That's where our roots are. 00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:42.640 That's who we are. 00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:45.120 We're together, we're unshakable. 00:06:45.280 --> 00:06:47.520 And I love what Pastor Brody said last week. 00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:49.200 We are the church. 00:06:49.520 --> 00:06:51.280 This building isn't the church. 00:06:51.520 --> 00:06:53.280 You are the church. 00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:55.440 Do you believe that? 00:06:56.400 --> 00:06:58.080 You are the church. 00:06:58.400 --> 00:07:04.960 KCC is only gonna be as strong as the faith and the relationship with God that you have in this church. 00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:09.920 So we want to be a strong church and a strong people. 00:07:10.080 --> 00:07:20.720 That means individually, our relationship with God is our priority, and that's the thing that we put our investment into, our relationship into, our time, our effort, our treasure is in God. 00:07:21.440 --> 00:07:28.560 Because when that's strong, this church, the glow, the church that we see at KCC becomes strong. 00:07:30.320 --> 00:07:30.960 Amen. 00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:37.920 God's does presence doesn't stay in this room when we leave, it goes with us wherever we go. 00:07:39.200 --> 00:07:41.920 You are the church outside of these doors. 00:07:42.320 --> 00:07:48.640 The presence of God that we experience this morning during worship doesn't stop just because you left this room. 00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:53.920 It goes with you. 00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:55.600 You have authority. 00:07:56.720 --> 00:07:59.680 You have power where you go because of who God is in your life. 00:07:59.920 --> 00:08:02.080 Where you go, God's power goes. 00:08:02.400 --> 00:08:05.680 Where you stand, his kingdom stands. 00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:10.640 But the question is, are you standing on a foundation that can't be shaken? 00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:15.520 This is what we know about the church. 00:08:15.840 --> 00:08:16.720 God's church. 00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:18.640 Not other churches, God's church. 00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:19.680 This is what we know. 00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:23.200 The church will stand when everything else will fall. 00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:28.160 Everything around us right now may be seeming a little unshaken. 00:08:28.400 --> 00:08:33.679 We're seeing tough things in economies, we're seeing leaders fail, institutions are collapsing around us. 00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:36.159 We're even seeing churches have a real struggle. 00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:38.000 And I understand it. 00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:42.559 We live in a world that really right now is quite uncertain. 00:08:42.800 --> 00:08:52.480 We don't know the things that are happening, but I'll tell you, it's really natural for us to feel uneasy, uncertain, not sure which way to go, not sure where to put our faith and our trust. 00:08:52.560 --> 00:08:54.000 It's really easy. 00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:56.480 But here's a powerful truth. 00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:04.560 In the middle of all the shaking that we're experiencing, there's one thing, one thing that remains steadfast and true, and that's God's kingdom. 00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:13.920 No matter what the world looks like, church, no matter what we feel about what's happening in the world right now, one thing stands true, and that's who God is. 00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:22.320 We see again in Hebrews 12 where it says, Therefore, let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken. 00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:27.360 When things around us are shaken, God's kingdom can't be shaken. 00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:35.680 One thing I love about KCC is that our calling in this world is clear. 00:09:35.920 --> 00:09:41.279 We're not here to impress the world, we're not here to put on a special show, we're not here to do any things. 00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:44.800 Our purpose is deeper and way more significant than that. 00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:48.320 That's you included in this church. 00:09:48.560 --> 00:10:05.279 Our part and our part in this calling is to stand firm, not just as individuals, but as people in this church, as a collective church to stand firm as a part of an unstoppable, unshakable church of Jesus Christ, and we do that together. 00:10:08.560 --> 00:10:13.680 Together, church, we can do things that we couldn't do alone. 00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:21.279 There's a saying that sometimes we hear in teams all the time: you can run fast when you're on your own, but you run farther when you're together. 00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:25.759 We want to be a church that is unstoppable, that's unshakable. 00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:27.279 We run together. 00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:34.960 We want with one mission, we want with one mind, with one heart, with one purpose, with one direction to go where God calls us to go. 00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:38.800 To go to the mission field and be the mission field while we're out there. 00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:42.160 Amen. 00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:48.879 I love you guys. 00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:56.240 But sometimes we we love the idea of being shakable, and sometimes our lives tell it a bit of a different story. 00:10:56.800 --> 00:11:04.800 Natalie and I, when we were early in our marriage, we could put on the face of everything was fine. 00:11:05.040 --> 00:11:08.080 It's fine, everything's fine, it's fine, everything's fine. 00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:13.279 No one could tell that under the surface we were struggling and struggling hard. 00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:19.840 We loved the idea of being unshakable, but when we got home, it wasn't unshakable, it was very shakable. 00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:22.320 Boy, was there some shaking. 00:11:23.680 --> 00:11:35.759 And we had some fights and some arguments and things were said, and my my root of who I was wasn't in Christ, it was in who I thought I needed to be, and not who God wanted me to be. 00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:37.279 But it's unshakable. 00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:42.240 We love the idea of being unshakable, but when we hit a storm, it actually reveals to us who we really are. 00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:44.800 And so sometimes there's cracks when life shakes. 00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:46.800 Do we stand firm or do we stumble? 00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:50.240 And if we're being honest, sometimes we stand firm. 00:11:51.040 --> 00:11:53.759 And other times we trip and we fall. 00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:05.680 Sometimes it's it's real easy in the face of something that's certainly going to be the hardest thing you maybe have ever faced is to just stand right there and firm and plant your flag and be good. 00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:08.399 And then something else comes along and it just wipes you out. 00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:10.160 If we're honest. 00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:13.440 When pressure comes, does our faith hold or will it crumble? 00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:15.840 Lord, I want my faith to hold. 00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:19.759 But honestly, sometimes it's not holding. 00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:23.600 That's just being human. 00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:26.480 That's working in a relationship with Jesus. 00:12:26.800 --> 00:12:28.879 God, I want more of what you have for me. 00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:34.240 The good news is that when the storm comes, this is good news, I promise. 00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:42.720 The good news is that when a storm comes and it actually shows you your cracks, it's actually an opportunity for you to strengthen your cracks. 00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:46.960 It will depend on how you look at it. 00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:52.000 It could just blow you up, or you can be like, you know what? 00:12:52.160 --> 00:12:53.680 I did not handle this well, God. 00:12:53.759 --> 00:12:54.639 I need your strength. 00:12:54.800 --> 00:12:56.080 Help me fix this. 00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:00.720 That is a step to becoming unshakable. 00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:05.279 So, what does an unshakable church actually look like? 00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:07.920 This is what an unshakable looks like according to scripture. 00:13:08.160 --> 00:13:13.920 First Corinthians says, No one can lay a foundation other than the one that was laid, which is Jesus Christ. 00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:15.759 Right there. 00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:24.560 We're not standing on opinions, we're not standing on trends or traditions or personalities, we're standing on Jesus Christ, the solid rock. 00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:32.960 Storms will come, life will happen, but what the shake, what the unshakable church is built on, for a foundation is Jesus, we will not be shaken. 00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:44.800 You are the church, your faith is a part of this foundation, and a church that is unshakable when we as a church, as the big sea church, but also this church here, is rooted in Jesus. 00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:47.759 Why does a foundation like this matter? 00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:53.200 A church built on opinions will shift with every cultural trend. 00:13:53.600 --> 00:13:58.720 A church that's built on personalities will eventually collapse when the leaders fail. 00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:00.800 We're not perfect. 00:14:02.560 --> 00:14:07.200 A church built on traditions will become rigid and lifeless and religious. 00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:12.960 What we experienced this morning in the presence of God was not rigid, was not lifeless, and was not religious. 00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:15.360 That's God's spirit moving in this place. 00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:16.080 Amen? 00:14:17.040 --> 00:14:26.240 Let's be clear though, having I love this, having the right foundation isn't about what we stand on, it's about who we become because of our foundation. 00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:35.519 The unshakable church isn't just a building, it's not just a theology, it's a community of people with transformed lives. 00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:43.759 Our desire as a pastoral team is not that you just show up on church and you go home. 00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:52.800 We want you to come to this place, experience what God has for you, and walk away different than when you came in. 00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:56.000 Because his Holy Spirit changes. 00:14:57.360 --> 00:14:58.800 Who God is changes. 00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:01.440 His life in you will shift you. 00:15:03.040 --> 00:15:05.200 What he says in your life makes a difference. 00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:08.639 If your foundation is in him, that will make a difference. 00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:15.920 The unshakable church stands on solid ground. 00:15:17.040 --> 00:15:22.720 Once we've built the foundation, now we have to stand on this foundation. 00:15:23.040 --> 00:15:24.560 This is what Matthew 7 says. 00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:30.800 The wise man builds his house on the rock, but a foolish man built his house in the sand. 00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:35.279 Pastor Malachi said it this morning a few times. 00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:39.759 An unstoppable church is not an active, just an active church. 00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:41.840 It's an anchored church. 00:15:42.480 --> 00:15:44.320 Where are we anchored? 00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:50.160 You see, in the scripture where Jesus talked about the cornerstone, I don't know if any of you know what a cornerstone is. 00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:56.480 It is literally, and when they used to build houses with cornerstones, the most important stone in the whole house. 00:15:56.720 --> 00:15:59.120 That set the pace for the rest of the house. 00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:06.639 How the house needed to be built, how strong it was going to be, where they placed it mattered, how high they placed it mattered, all of that mattered in that house. 00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:13.680 We see in scripture, there's sometimes alluding to this, Jesus is the starting point and the foundation of our relationship with God. 00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:22.160 So our relationship is that it's built on solid foundation, then we have to stand on that foundation and go where God calls us to go. 00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:26.639 Everything we believe, everything we practice is built on Jesus. 00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:29.360 That's an unshakable church. 00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:32.639 It's the first and most important stone that's in a structure. 00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:38.000 And there's some call, faulty foundations sometimes in us and sometimes in churches. 00:16:39.920 --> 00:16:44.639 And I'll say that we see this sometimes is that we sometimes choose emotions over the truth. 00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:52.720 We build our faith in our emotions rather than the unchanging truth of the Word of God. 00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:56.639 Sometimes we're seeking the spiritual high. 00:16:57.759 --> 00:17:09.279 And when we don't get that high, we either leave the church or we feel discouraged, and then we just church hop from place to place, trying to find that spiritual high where I'm getting the most, where I'm feeling the most high. 00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:11.039 Can't even just think of another word for it. 00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:12.079 Just high, high. 00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:13.440 Just you'd feel high. 00:17:13.680 --> 00:17:16.559 Hopefully they don't use that just for the clip later. 00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:22.000 But something we get to this place where it becomes about emotion. 00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:27.200 What happens when you don't feel the presence of God on a Sunday morning the way you thought you needed to? 00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:34.240 Is the truth about who He is in your life and all the things that He's done for you less valid because you didn't feel it in the moment? 00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:44.559 God's truth for me, regardless of whether or not I feel real fuzzy in the morning when I'm doing worship or I'm singing, is still true. 00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:50.799 And you can't build churches and we can't build your relationship with God over through emotions. 00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:54.480 Sometimes we choose cultural values over kingdom values. 00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:58.000 We allow a cultural trend to shape our beliefs rather than scripture. 00:17:58.079 --> 00:17:59.519 You've heard me say this before. 00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:04.720 TikTok theology is not a thing, church. 00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:10.319 We just see one scripture on TikTok, and that somehow informs us how our theology is supposed to be. 00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:11.759 I did my devotions. 00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:13.120 I saw the TikTok this morning. 00:18:13.200 --> 00:18:14.240 This is what it said. 00:18:16.799 --> 00:18:24.960 We allow us culture to shape our beliefs instead of scripture, instead of ruthlessly hating our sin. 00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:26.799 We justify it. 00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:32.400 We need to hate our sin and do everything we can to walk away from our sin, to conquer that sin. 00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:35.839 We need to repent of that sin. 00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:39.440 The Bible isn't the same as culture. 00:18:39.600 --> 00:18:41.279 Who God is isn't the same as culture. 00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:45.279 God's called us to walk in repentance, to deal with our sin. 00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:50.880 Sometimes we have performance over intimacy with God. 00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:51.839 We serve at church. 00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:52.880 I serve at church. 00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:56.160 Many of us serve at this church, but we do it to gain favor. 00:18:57.360 --> 00:18:59.680 We do it because it makes us feel good. 00:18:59.839 --> 00:19:00.480 And it should. 00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:02.000 Honestly, serving should make you feel good. 00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:03.759 But why are you here to serve? 00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:08.799 Are you served because if I do this, I build up the piggy bank of favor that I have with God, He's gonna love me deeper? 00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:14.000 Or are you doing it because you desire an intimacy with God and He's actually called us to be servants in the kingdom of God? 00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:20.960 And we do it out of a place of obedience because He's called us to do that, and we do it regardless if we feel good or not. 00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:27.920 Here's what we want at church, here's what we desire at KCC. 00:19:28.319 --> 00:19:30.720 We build deep, we don't build shallow. 00:19:31.039 --> 00:19:35.360 Our faith in God goes beyond a Sunday morning. 00:19:35.759 --> 00:19:40.000 It transforms your life when you walk out of KCC this afternoon. 00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:42.960 That's not just here, it's something that transforms our life. 00:19:43.120 --> 00:19:45.120 We pursue depth, not hype. 00:19:45.600 --> 00:19:46.960 We want deep. 00:19:47.120 --> 00:19:54.559 We want roots that are deep, that are planted so firmly in the Word of God that any storm can come across and you will not be blown over. 00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:56.559 That's what we want for you. 00:19:58.240 --> 00:20:00.559 That's what we're doing with our foundations classes. 00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:04.640 We're building deep theology, people that have deep roots in the Word of God. 00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:06.000 That's what we do on Sundays. 00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:09.680 That's what we do through our worship, through our prayer with each other. 00:20:10.160 --> 00:20:11.440 To build deep roots. 00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:13.519 We hold fast to sound doctrine. 00:20:13.759 --> 00:20:14.960 We hold fast. 00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:16.799 We fight for it. 00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:23.039 We're not swayed by false teachings and cultural shifts. 00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:27.920 Every time I say something like this, someone asks me, Can you give me a list of people to stay away from on the internet? 00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:30.000 If you want a list, I'll give you one. 00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:33.600 Because there's people we should watch and there's people that we shouldn't. 00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:39.759 And you should have your Bible beside you fact-checking everything anyone ever says. 00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:49.759 If the word is so deep into us that when Pastor Brody and I and Pastor Malachi all give a word, you can be like, that's on point right there, because you know the word so well. 00:20:50.160 --> 00:20:56.079 And then when it's off, you can come tell us gently with love. 00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:07.039 But knowing what a solid foundation looks like and standing on it are not the same thing. 00:21:07.360 --> 00:21:12.400 A church can have strong beliefs that are written in faith but still be shaky in practice. 00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:17.600 We can have strong beliefs that are here, but they've not made that 18-inch drop to here. 00:21:21.360 --> 00:21:25.440 An unshakable church stands firm in every trial. 00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:27.440 And I always love this. 00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:33.039 Cernarm's not here today, but he always says he is a passionate speaker about the full armor of God. 00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:34.240 Ephesians 6.13. 00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:42.480 Put on the full armor of God so that when that day comes, you may be able to stand your ground. 00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:53.920 That no matter what's gonna get thrown at us in these next few years, no matter what happens in our life, we will stand our grand and ground and fight for the truth. 00:21:54.079 --> 00:21:54.720 Amen? 00:21:57.600 --> 00:22:02.319 In a church with a solid foundation, it doesn't just survive, it thrives. 00:22:03.600 --> 00:22:07.120 KCC is built with a solid foundation. 00:22:09.440 --> 00:22:10.480 History has shown that. 00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:14.720 Churches thrive under the persecution because it was built under Jesus. 00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:19.680 I read a statistic a little while ago in uh China. 00:22:20.240 --> 00:22:28.240 Right now they're saying by 2030, because Christianity is just blowing up over there, by 2030 it will be a predominantly Christian country. 00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:43.200 A church, a Chinese church that's under persecution, and their country is they're saying it might be fully Christian or predominantly Christian by 2030. 00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:50.559 When we stand on the truth, it gives us more. 00:22:50.640 --> 00:22:52.720 We push forward in what God's called us to. 00:22:53.360 --> 00:23:02.160 They're saying right now that even in the Muslim communities, highest rates of Christian of conversion into Christianity that they've seen in 30 years. 00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:04.240 This is what happens. 00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:10.880 We see in the in the despite all this persecution, under church underground churches are thriving all across the world. 00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:13.279 We're lucky we get to meet in public. 00:23:17.120 --> 00:23:21.519 So this this is an interesting, this is just because I nerd out on stats sometimes. 00:23:21.759 --> 00:23:38.880 In recent years, Bible sales have surged, far outpacing the growth of general book sales from 9.7 million in 2019 to 14.2 million in 2023 and 13.7 million just in the first 10 months of 2024. 00:23:39.600 --> 00:23:52.960 The spike is happening because when the world is shaking, people are looking to truth and something that is unshaken, that will not be shaken, that has stood the test of time, and they see that the church is that place. 00:23:56.240 --> 00:24:00.400 But the reality of owning a Bible is not the same as being anchored in the truth, right? 00:24:01.519 --> 00:24:06.559 See, a church filled with Bibles is not in a we mean if we all have a cell phone, we all have a Bible. 00:24:06.880 --> 00:24:10.960 We have physical Bibles in the place, but it's not an automatically an unshakable church. 00:24:11.120 --> 00:24:15.039 An unshakable church is when the truth of the Bible is lived out in our lives. 00:24:16.079 --> 00:24:17.519 That's the word of God. 00:24:21.120 --> 00:24:23.839 But what makes the unshakable church possible? 00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:25.839 Can I have the team come up? 00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:36.240 It's not just good programs or powerful teaching or foundations class or connect groups or worship, it's all of those things combined. 00:24:36.559 --> 00:24:43.200 It's the fact that we belong to an unshakable kingdom in which we are citizens of. 00:24:43.759 --> 00:24:46.799 We are co-heirs with Christ in this kingdom. 00:24:47.279 --> 00:24:48.640 That's who we are. 00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:54.799 We serve an unshakable king because we belong to an unshakable kingdom. 00:24:55.039 --> 00:24:59.120 Again, I just love going back to the scripture in Hebrews chapter 12, verse 28. 00:24:59.360 --> 00:25:02.480 We are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken. 00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:06.799 What we see is that this world changes every single day. 00:25:06.880 --> 00:25:11.680 But God's kingdom, it's eternal, it's secure, it's unstoppable, and it's unshakable. 00:25:13.120 --> 00:25:14.799 But we're not outsiders. 00:25:16.079 --> 00:25:19.519 How many of us have felt like an outsider a time or two in our life? 00:25:20.799 --> 00:25:29.279 But if you give your, you put your faith in Jesus, he calls you into his kingdom, calls you a son, calls you a daughter. 00:25:30.079 --> 00:25:31.600 You're not an outsider anymore. 00:25:31.680 --> 00:25:34.240 You have a kingdom, you have a family that's around you. 00:25:34.319 --> 00:25:38.240 This family is one family and a big, big church family. 00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:44.160 We are unshakable because God holds us. 00:25:45.360 --> 00:25:49.440 John 10, 28, 29 says, No one will snatch them out of my hand. 00:25:51.839 --> 00:25:55.039 We are unshakable because God doesn't let us go. 00:25:56.319 --> 00:25:56.960 Amen. 00:25:59.279 --> 00:26:04.720 Pastor Brody said this last week: you never, he'll never leave us nor forsake us. 00:26:06.160 --> 00:26:08.079 Our strength may fail. 00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:19.279 Our perspectives may fail, may change, they may fluctuate, the situation could be different, but I'm telling you, God's grip is firm and faithful on your life. 00:26:24.799 --> 00:26:28.160 We're unshakable because His Holy Spirit lives in us. 00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:34.319 This is the scripture for us in the time that we're in. 00:26:34.559 --> 00:26:43.920 2 Timothy 1:7, for God gave us the spirit not of fear, but of love, power, and self-control. 00:26:45.360 --> 00:26:46.799 You see those shirts? 00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:48.880 We have faith over fear. 00:26:49.360 --> 00:26:51.680 Because our faith is an unshakable God. 00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:57.519 Our relationship was something that can't be shaken, that anything else around us can be shaken. 00:26:58.960 --> 00:27:02.319 Jobs, health, politics, doesn't matter. 00:27:02.559 --> 00:27:04.319 Our God is unshakable. 00:27:06.720 --> 00:27:08.160 Do you believe that? 00:27:09.440 --> 00:27:16.880 We are unshakable because we are held, because we belong here, and because we are filled with who He's called us to be. 00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:20.559 So here's a question. 00:27:20.880 --> 00:27:23.200 Are you living in this truth? 00:27:25.920 --> 00:27:29.039 Are you standing firm in that unshakable kingdom? 00:27:29.759 --> 00:27:33.279 Are you relying on things that can be shaken? 00:27:35.519 --> 00:27:37.120 Can you stand with me? 00:27:43.279 --> 00:27:45.600 What have you built your foundation on? 00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:52.960 Have you built it on finances, on relationships, possessions, your own identity? 00:27:53.200 --> 00:28:01.120 Maybe you've built it around your fence or playing the victim or being entitled, whatever that is, what have you built your foundation on? 00:28:01.759 --> 00:28:08.559 What's unshakable in your life right now that if everything else was shaken, what would be left? 00:28:12.240 --> 00:28:12.880 Amen. 00:28:14.720 --> 00:28:17.839 And here's the question Are there parts that you need right now? 00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:22.000 You feel the Holy Spirit saying, I need to release this into his hands? 00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:24.720 Can you just close your eyes? 00:28:27.920 --> 00:28:29.920 Are there parts that you know? 00:28:31.600 --> 00:28:34.480 Are there parts that you know that you just need to let go? 00:28:36.640 --> 00:28:43.120 Parts that you know that are just, if a storm comes, it's just gonna shake to the ground. 00:28:43.279 --> 00:28:45.440 It's gonna rock you to your core. 00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:04.799 So here's wherever we're standing, this is what I want us to do. 00:29:07.360 --> 00:29:19.920 If you feel right now with our eyes closed, that you have parts that are just shaky and you want prayer, I just want to pray for us right now, but I want you to just raise your hand and say, God, I want to be unshakable. 00:29:31.519 --> 00:29:34.160 God, I want your unshakable faith. 00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:43.600 I want something that is so secure that no matter what happens in my life, I'm not gonna collapse. 00:29:43.759 --> 00:29:46.319 I'm gonna lean into who you've called me to be. 00:29:48.559 --> 00:29:50.480 I see those hands out there. 00:29:53.759 --> 00:29:55.440 Just want to pray for you. 00:30:01.440 --> 00:30:07.120 That want to live a faith that is so rooted, so anchored to who you are. 00:30:07.600 --> 00:30:13.200 Lord, that no matter what happens, they will be unshakable in your kingdom. 00:30:13.839 --> 00:30:15.920 But Lord, sometimes we have to let things go. 00:30:16.079 --> 00:30:18.640 Sometimes those storms reveal those cracks. 00:30:19.759 --> 00:30:29.680 So Lord, we're asking that your Holy Spirit right now would just bring a peace and a joy, but also would take time now and just fill those cracks with your presence. 00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:32.319 Begin to repair things that are broken, Lord. 00:30:32.400 --> 00:30:35.600 Whether it's an addiction, it would be broken in the name of Jesus. 00:30:35.839 --> 00:30:41.360 Where there's an offense, Lord, Lord, that you would just come in and speak truth to them about what's going on, Lord. 00:30:41.440 --> 00:30:47.120 Where there's emotional healing that needs to happen, Lord, that your presence would just come through right now. 00:30:47.839 --> 00:30:55.039 Lord, whether there's things that are happening mentally, where there's mental depression, mental anguish, Lord, it would be at peace in the name of Jesus. 00:30:55.600 --> 00:31:06.640 By your Holy Spirit, Lord, that you would just begin moving in a new and fresh way on these people's lives to walk through and just be
