Day and night, night and day, let incense arise. Empty yourself of anything else you cling to, give it to Him today. You're worthy of it all. ♪ Let incense arise ♪ ♪ Day and night, night and day, let incense arise ♪ Sing it! ♪ Day and night, night and day, let incense arise ♪ ♪ Day and night, night and day, let incense arise ♪ Come on Church, lift your voice for your King this morning.

For from you are all things, and to you are all things. You deserve the glory. Come on, for from you and to you. For from you are all things, and to you are all things. You deserve the glory. Give Him a clap. Come on, do you believe that it is worthy of all your praise in this place? Lift up the name of Jesus this morning. You know, it's easy to come. We run through our morning routine, and we come in this place, and we lift up our voice, and we sing these songs, and it's easy for it just to become words. But the Bible tells us in Revelation chapter 5 verse 12, it says, Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise. See, it's easy to say He's worthy of it all, but why is He worthy of it all?

Because God sent His only Son Jesus to this earth to take your sin and your sin and your sin and my sin, and He took it on His shoulders. He came and lived a perfect life, and He took it to a cross. He took our punishment, our shame, our sin, our debt, and He paid it all. He paid it all. And three days later, He rose again bodily so that we may have life and purpose and hope and peace. That's why He's worthy. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. He is the first and last. He is worthy of all of our praise and worthy of all of our adoration. Give Him praise this morning if you love Him. Jesus, you are worthy of it all. You are worthy of it all, Jesus. We love you in this place, Father God. You are worthy of it all. Thank you, Jesus. Well, good morning. Welcome to Fellowship Church. We are so glad that you are here. Before you're seated, turn and greet a neighbor. Give them a high five. I want to say it's great to see you in church this morning. Go ahead and please find your seat. Welcome to Fellowship Church. My name is Dave Clark. I serve as one of the pastors on staff here. And on behalf of our senior pastors, Ed and Lisa Young, we want to welcome you and thank you so much for joining us and being with us. If it's your first time, can we show our appreciation to all of our first-time guests that are joining us today? Maybe it's your first time or you've been coming a few times, but you've never taken the opportunity to get connected and get plugged in. I would love to highlight for you in the seat back in front of you, you'll find one of these blue cards.

If you'll take it and fill out just some brief information on the back, your name, your address, a way that we can get in touch with you. You say, Dave, why are you trying to get my information? Well, see, we want to help you get connected here. The church becomes alive when you get plugged into the community. The church is a family. And we have so many great things for you to be a part of, like Bible study classes and sports groups and connect groups and stuff for marries and families. And you need to get involved and get plugged in and get connected here at Fellowship Church. It will change your life. So fill that card out a little later on. The offering is going to pass by. You can drop it in there. Some from our team would love to talk to you and call you and help you get plugged in here. But right now, we're going to move into a time where we have an opportunity to continue in worship through generosity and bringing our tithes and offerings. And if you're a guest visiting with us, sit back, relax. There's no pressure on you to participate during this time. But for those of us who call Fellowship Church home, this is our time to participate in worship through our giving. So you can begin to prepare right now. Man, I wanna thank you, church, for your generosity. It's because of you that we are able to bring the good news of Jesus to so many people, to prisons, to literally people around the world through our missions work, to right here in our community, serving so many people and helping so many people who are hurting. And so thank you for helping make that possible. Also want to thank those of you who have stepped up and been a part of our Anchor Project. This is a campaign over the last two years to raise funds to build the Anchor Center. It's an incredible space that's gonna be dedicated

to the next generation, to reaching kids, to reaching students with the hope of Jesus Christ. How many know the only hope for the next generation is Jesus? And that's why we are doing the Anchor Center. And so thank you, those of you who have made commitments. I would encourage you to be faithful with those commitments and we're excited to break ground this summer. That's right, it's right around the corner and we know God is going to use that space to do so much for the next generation. And so I wanna take a moment and just thank you for being a part and making that possible. Well, we're in a series right now called I'm Not Religious. And today's message, I just wanna give a heads up to all the parents, is a heavy topic. It's a hot topic in our world. And so parents, if you have littles that may be sitting in the room here at the Grapevine Campus, I would encourage you to leverage our children's programming. We're gonna be talking about some of the real evils that are in the world and what's happening in our world. And so this is a loaded and heavy topic this morning. And so I would encourage, if you have kids who are elementary age or preschool age, to leverage, just see one of our hosts right now and they'll help you. We would encourage you to leverage children's programming. But man, right now, we wanna take a moment

and just hit the pause button. Many of you, I'm sure, flipped on the news maybe this morning or late last night and you saw the attempt on the president's life. And every time we turn on the news, every time you open social media, every time it seems like we turn and we look, there's new evil in the world. And there's something happening, there's hate. There's vitriol hate online. There is evil at every turn, darkness at every turn. So we just wanna take a moment and just pray. Just pray over our communities, pray over our state, pray over our nation, and pray over our leaders. So would you bow your heads and just join me in this time? Heavenly Father, we come to you. God, we know that the only hope for our country is you. It's not a political party, it's not a political agenda, it's not Democrat, it's not Republican, it's not liberal, it's not conservative, it is Jesus. We seek you, Jesus. We pray you would bring peace where peace is needed. We pray you would bring healing where healing is needed. God, where judgment is needed, we pray you would bring judgment. God, we lift up the leaders of our country. We pray that you would turn their hearts towards you. We pray for repentance. Pray your Holy Spirit would come and convict sin all across our land and that people would turn to you.

We pray for revival. We pray for restoration. We pray that our hearts would turn to seek you because you are the way, you are the truth, and you are the life. You are the only answer for our world today. May we turn to you. May those around us turn to you. May we be a light in the midst of the darkness. We love you and we praise you in Jesus' name, amen. Amen. Let's remain seated as the offering passes. Amen. Holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, Jesus. There is one on the throne, Jesus, holy.

We're live at all of our different locations right now. You can go ahead and please find your seat. Over the past few weeks, we have been in a series called I'm Not Religious.

And Pastor Ed has been walking us through how Christianity is juxtaposed against every other major world religion. And today, we have a very special guest. He's the founder and lead pastor of Echo Church in Sydney, Australia. He was born and raised in Egypt, and his family has dealt with persecution under Islam. And standing for his faith in Jesus Christ, his incredible wife, Nolene, has been with us. And we are so excited today to have with us Pastor Andrew Sedgwick. Can we make him feel welcome across all of our different locations? Let's give him a round of applause. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen, Fellowship Church. Anybody here still believe that Jesus is King? Yes. Yes. I'm talking. Across the screen, all my fellowship family here in Grand Fine, Texas, in Dallas, Fort Worth, online, anybody here still believe that Jesus is the King of Kings? He cannot get selected,

He cannot get elected, He cannot get voted in, but being a King is who He is, and being a King is what He does. If you believe that, why don't you give Jesus a shout of praise? Fellowship Church here in Grand Fine, Texas, Fort Worth, Dallas, Frisco, let's lift up the Name of Jesus! Grab a seat, tell your neighbor, I got a feeling that today is going to be a hot, hot morning. Jesus is King and Jesus is Lord, He cannot get elected, He cannot get selected, He cannot get voted in, being a King is who He is, and guess what? You can't impeach Him, you can't try to assassinate Him three times and miss Him, because He has died, but He is back to life, because violent Muhammad died and He couldn't make it back. Big Buddha died and He couldn't make it back. Amazing Mary died, but she couldn't make it back. Humble Moses died, but he couldn't make it back. But Jesus conquered death, Jesus defeated the grave, Jesus crushed power, Jesus overcome the most powerful and deadly enemy that every single human being is yet to face, which is death. My name is Andrew, I'm here with my beautiful wife, all the way from Sydney, Australia, to give America, Texas, a warning of what can and what will happen if the church doesn't choose courage for the faith. I'm very grateful for this honor to be with Pastor Ed and Lisa Young, who have been fighting the good fight over here, they've been choosing faith over fear, courage over cowardice, they have been choosing to fight and contend for the faith. You guys are literally in the midst of the world's religions, where you're digging every single religion, because Jesus is not just a God among the gods, Jesus is the one and only true God. So can we please honor Pastors Ed and Lisa Young for choosing to lead you guys to fight, fight, fight, to have courage for the faith, in order to actually keep the faith, so that you can contend for the faith. Because the Bible said it this way, is that you need to have reason, and a purpose, and a cause, and a because, for the faith that you have. So today I want to dig all things, Muhammad versus Jesus, Christianity versus Islam, Yahweh versus Allah, and before I dig to it, you're dealing with a very big, different philosophical, moral, and cultural worldview. For example, Islam is very violent, Christianity is very peaceful, Jesus was very, very perfect, Muhammad in the Quran was literally a pedophile, he literally had a nine-year-old daughter, wife, when he was 50, 60 years old, because God told him so. Not just that, Jesus was holy, perfect, and pure, Muhammad was a sexually deviant man, who had 11 wives, nine wives at the same time, and two sex slaves, one was a Jew, one was a Christian, her name was Coptic Mary, she was Egyptian, and he ended up fabricating this very violent

and demonic religion. So today, I want to dig with you in the next few minutes, in the next few moments, all things, perfect Jesus versus pedophile Prophet Muhammad. All things, the peaceful, loving, and freedom-loving Christianity versus the evil and bloodthirsty religion of Islam. All things, perfect Yahweh versus violent Allah. We literally had a few months ago, the biggest terrorist attack in the history of Australia, the biggest ever. We literally had two evil, wicked Muslim men, it's going to come on the screen, who chose to open fire on 2,000 Jews in Bondi. Miami in Australia, it's like a very liberal, gay beach type of area, if you know what I mean. So we literally had, we literally had two evil, wicked Muslim men open fire on the day of Hanukkah on 2000 Jews for simply not being Muslim, and they killed 15 Jewish people. This is very important. We've been watching this rise of this evil, wicked ideology of Islam, and then you still have people that will come and tell you, but Islam is peace, Islam is peace, Islam is the religion of peace. I'm like, really, seriously, do you have any facts or evidence for what you're saying? We live in this moment of time where people like to make very big, radical claims without actually having that thing called facts and evidence. We make this preposterous claim that the Jews killed Charlie or the Jews drank my coffee. People love to make this radical, massive claims without actually having a reason, facts, and evidence for what they're saying.

So I came here from the future, not just from Australia, but from Egypt. I was literally born in the Islamic world of Egypt. My family escaped the Muslim world of Egypt in 2007 for my dad simply being a Christian. My dad is a pastor who was literally preaching the gospel. He converted a particular Muslim woman to Christianity, which is punishable by jail, where you go to jail for five years where you get tortured or die, or it is punishable by you simply getting killed on the street. Growing up in the Islamic world of Egypt, we couldn't proclaim the gospel. We couldn't say the name of Jesus outside of the four walls of church. We grew up in a world where if a Muslim become a Christian, the pastor that converts them gets killed or go to jail, and the Muslim that gets converted in the Muslim world will get killed or go to jail. So we had what you call blasphemy laws. Blasphemy laws are designed, and they're right now in every single Muslim's say. I know there's a lot of like Godless conservative commentators like Taka Katassan, who come and say, our Sharia law is beautiful. It's amazing. Ha, ha, ha. In every single Islamic state right now,

where I was born and in Tanzania, where I was born in Egypt, it's like a liberal Muslim. It's not like a Muslim Muslim. It's like a moderate Muslim. So we had what you call apostasy laws. Apostasy laws were designed to make sure if any Muslim person become a Christian, they would go to jail where they would get tortured or die, or they would get killed and butchered on the street by some radical Muslim. We also had what you call blasphemy laws. And blasphemy laws were designed for any single Christian saint or a pastor who dares to speak against Islam, who dares to proclaim the supremacy of Jesus outside of the four walls of church, and who dares to criticize Islam. So we grew up in that world where you couldn't preach a gospel, where you couldn't proclaim the gospel. Revival was literally illegal. Fulfilling the Great Commission was literally punishable by jail. And I come here in America and I find people make preposterous, crazy claims without actually getting to the facts of the matter. So this morning, I wanna equip you to have courage for the faith,

to contend for the faith in order to actually keep the faith. Paul said it this way. In 1 Timothy, for all my Bible people, Paul said, fight the good fight for the faith. It's a fight. It's a fight. In 2 Timothy, Paul said it this way. At the end of his life, at the crescendo of his ministry, at the climactic moment before his death, Paul said this. He said, I have fought the good fight. And I have kept the faith. This is very important. It's a lot of work to keep the faith. A lot of people are trying to grow their faith. But one thing I'm figuring out at the moment, it's very hard for you to believe that marriage is Adam and Eve, and Adam and Steve at the moment. It's very hard for you to believe at the moment that gender is 2, not 92. It's very hard for you at the moment to believe that Jesus is not a way, but Jesus is the way. And that's why Paul was saying, I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race. And I have kept the faith.

Because a lot of people cannot comprehend and realize that we are no longer in Jerusalem, the city of peace, but we are in Babylon, the city of war. We don't just go to church now to sing Kumbaya songs. on Sunday to clap, clap, clap, to kiss some hands and shake some nice babies and go home. But we are now literally in a turning moment of war. And some of you, you literally had to watch that spiritual war manifest itself in a physical bullet to kill a young man by the name of Charlie Kirk for you to realize and comprehend. Wait, there is a war happening. It's a war between right and wrong, freedom and tyranny, demonic and divine, good and evil. There is a war. That's why Paul said, our war, our fight is not against flesh and blood. This is why in the context of 600 years, the whole ancient world went from pagan to Christian. This is very important. In the context of 600 years, Christianity took over the ancient civilization because the disciples fathomed and understood that we are here to make this nation godly, Christian, and God's free again. And this is the problem. While most Christians are playing peace, Islam is fundamentally at war. I came today to give you a world word

and world view of what Islam is because most people now, America now is changing from American exceptionalism to what I call American narcissism. What is American narcissism? It's like America is a very exceptional nation. I'm here to tell you, it is very exceptional. It is very weird. It is very not normal. It is the bug that you have here, freedom of religion, freedom of conscience, freedom of worship, freedom to worship, and freedom of speech. We don't have that anywhere across the world, including in Australia. But what's happening at the moment is that America is no longer look at Islam through the lens of Islam. They look at Islam through the lens of Christianity. It's very important. You watch at the moment, the Israel versus Palestine, and you watch these crazy people, genocide, genocide, Israel committing genocide. I'm like, there's no genocide. There's actually a genocide down the road where I was born in Egypt. I was born in Egypt, and I did a DNA test a few years ago, and I'm 98% Coptic. We were the initial pagans that when Mark came in 50 AD

and he preached the gospel, we ended up becoming a Christian. Before you know it, there is a revival in Egypt that Egypt became 90% Christian. Until 642 AD, when the evil, wicked, and violent Pedophile prophet declared war on Egypt, and literally in the last 1400 years, Christians were killed, butchered, raped, and genocided. Egypt went from 90% Christian to less than 10% Christian. Egypt went from 0% Muslim. Now Egypt is 90% Muslim. In fact, all the ancient Christian world is now invaded by Islam. The church of Constantinople in Turkey, the biggest church ever in the history of humanity is now invaded by Islam. The church of Jerusalem in Judea was invaded by Islam until Israel was established in 1948, thank the Lord. The church of Alexandria in Egypt was infiltrated and obliterated by Islam. The church of Antioch, all the ancient apostolic churches were obliterated by Islam, and you still have Christians who will not see Islam as it is, but as what they want it to be. Quickly, look what the Quran said. The Quran said, it's very important, because a lot of Christians are playing peace and kumbaya songs. Look what the Quran said in the Quran.

You know, a few months ago, you had the crazy, the rise of the socialist, Marxist, Muslim jihadist, communist jihadist mayor in New York called Zohran Mimdani, and he swore on the Quran. A lot of Christians are like, yay, religious tolerance and religious diversity. I'm like, very cool. Can we open that Quran for a moment? Look what the Quran said. Fight the enemies of Allah. Fight the enemies of Allah and those who do not conform to the religion of truth. That's why every time you see a terrorist attack, every time you see a crazy terrorist screaming, they're not screaming, Jesus Akbar. They're not screaming the Jews, Yahweh Akbar. They're screaming, Allah Akbar, Allah Akbar, Allah Akbar, which means my God is greater than your God, but more than anything, my God is greater than the God of the Bible, the one true God. So look what it said. It said, fight the enemies of Allah and those who don't believe in the last day. This is very important. Because that war in Israel and Palestine, Israel-Palestine, it's not Israel versus Palestine, it's Israel versus Islam. It's not Israel versus Palestine, it's Israel versus Ishmael.

Because in the Islamic eschatology, see, that war, that's why you find a lot of terrorists going to bomb themselves, try to bomb people, try to kill people, because it's fundamentally eschatological. See, Muslims believe that in the last days and in order for the last days to happen, in order for them to take over the world, to infiltrate the world, that one day Jesus is coming back to reign in Jerusalem. And that day of Jesus coming back to reign in Jerusalem, the last days, it's not going to happen until every single Jew in Israel is killed and butchered. That's why the whole thing is very spiritual, it's very prophetic, it's very theological, and it's very biblical, because you have that war, not between Israel and Palestine, between Israel and Islam, because Islam came from Ishmael, where they claim that the most holy place is not Mount Hebron, where Isaac was sacrificed, but the most holy place is the Kaaba, the black rock, where they believe Abraham sacrificed Ishmael. So it's not really a political war or a geopolitical war, it's a spiritual war, that's why in Genesis it said, look what the angel said about Ishmael, Ishmael, the great, great, great, great, great grandfather of Muhammad, Ishmael is the father of Islam. Look what it said, the angel said to Hagar, this son of yours will be a wild man, like me. He will be a wild man, it said that he will raise his fist

against the whole entire world, war, that's Islam, that's Islam, he will raise his fist against the whole, the entire world, and he will be in open hostility against his relatives, that's Isaac, that's the Jews, and that's Israel. So what you're seeing at the moment, it's a very eschatological war, at least from the Muslims' perspective, that they believe Jesus is coming back, and he's coming back to kill and butcher every single Jew in Israel. Literally, the rocks and the trees will cry out, and they're gonna say, hey, Muslim, servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill them. And after that, Jesus is gonna kill all the Jews, that's why he told us something happened, and after Jesus kills all the Jews, Jesus is going to break the cross, he's gonna become a Muslim, and then he's gonna tell all the Christians to worship Allah and become a Muslim, and those Christians who don't become Muslim would get butchered. So be very careful when Muslims tell you, we like Jesus, we like Jesus, we love Jesus. I'm like, the problem is, their Jesus is not my Jesus, because their Jesus is not very Jesus-y. We had a crazy godless conservative by the name of Tucker Carlson tell you, oh, people don't want you to know that Muslims love Jesus.

I'm like, yeah, it's not my Jesus. So Muslims, when you use language, when you communicate, they use language to manipulate. Muslims don't use language to transform an idea, they use language to manipulate an idea. So when Muslims say Jesus, they mean the anti-Jesus. When Muslims say peace, they actually mean war. When Muslims say freedom, they actually mean tyranny, because Islam does not peace. In fact, Islam is a tricky word, because it comes from the Hebrew word shalom, which means peace, and then you evolve it from Arabic, from Hebrew to Arabic, it becomes shalom, which means peace. But when you put an I in front of shalom, it becomes Islam. So Islam means peace when you surrender, and Islam means peace after you surrender. So I want you to understand, Islam means peace when you surrender, and Islam means peace after you surrender. That's why the verse said, fight the enemies of Allah, and it said, and those who don't believe in the last days, look what it said after it. It said after it, particularly those of the book, that's the Jews and the Christians. We're the people of the Torah, we're the people of the Bible, we're people of the gospel. So all my stupid Christians are like, queens for Palestine, free, free Palestine. I'm like, dude, you're next, you're next. That is the two enemies of Islam.

First, they're gonna go for the Zionists, then they're gonna go for the Jews, then they're gonna go for the Christians, then they're gonna go for the gays, then they're gonna go for the communists, then they're gonna go for the Jews, and for the socialists, and then they're gonna go for everybody. So I want you to understand that you're next because Islam perceives the world and puts a world. in two different perceptions and ideologies. Muslims perceive the world in these two areas. It's either that place, space, culture, nation, and civilization. It's a house of peace, meaning Dar al-Salam, or either that place, space, people, nation, and civilization is a house of war, meaning Dar al-Harb. I want you to understand this with me. Muslims perceive the world in these two different ideas. It's either that place, space, is a house of peace, meaning Dar al-Salam, or either that place and space is a house of war, meaning Dar al-Harb. So America at the moment is not a house of peace, it's a house of war. Israel at the moment is not a house of peace, it's a house of war. Iran on the other side, it's a house of peace. So how do you transform and trans the house of war, like America, the house of peace, is that number one, that nation need to become majority Muslim.

That's the first thing. Number two, you need to infiltrate and conquer every single political and cultural institution. Number three, you need to establish some form of Sharia law. That is why you have been seeing the Muslims, free, free Palestine. I'm like, what about free, free Iran? Like literally the evil, wicked, Ali Khomrani, Ayatollah regime, killed 30,000 of his own citizens in the last three months. And for some reason, nobody is protesting free, free Iran. Ain't nobody grateful that President Trump killed the evil Ali Khomrani in the last few months. To free it from Islam, the church in Iran has been literally butchered and killed and bombed. Literally, Ali Khomrani have been burning the church, destroying the church, and literally butchering and killing any Muslim that become the Christian. I'm very grateful that at the moment, there is a war against violent Islam. I'm very grateful. You wonder why President Trump had three attempts on his life? Because he's doing a lot of work for God. A lot of people were like very triggered when President Trump said, praise to be the Allah. I'm like, it's a joke. I like to make fun of false demon gods. Do you guys remember when Elijah in the Bible made fun of Jezebel, Jezi, and a false god, Bel,

when he was like, hey, Jezebel, where is your god? Is he in the toilet? We must mock evil, wicked, demonic, and false gods. The only thing we shouldn't mock is the one true God of the Bible. So let's go back. So at the moment, America is not a house of peace. It's a house of war. Let's go. So look after it said, it said in Surah 9, which is in the Quran, it's a chapter of repentance. It said, kill the polytheists wherever you find them. Kill. This is a problem. We Christians happen to fall in that group of polytheists for two reasons. Number one, we are idolaters. We worship Jesus, who Muslims claim he's a God that pretends to be, he's a man who pretends to be a God. Not just that, Muslims believe that we Christians were pagan polytheists because we worship the one, our God, three in one, Father, Son, Holy Spirit. So Muslims accuse Christians, that's why they kill them, butcher them across the Middle East from Nigeria. They're literally killing 30 Christians every single day in Nigeria. Last year, 10,000 Christians were killed and butchered in Nigeria. Just this year alone, a few weeks ago on Palm Sunday,

41 Christians were killed while worshiping Jesus. So Christians across the globe at the moment are being killed and butchered by evil Muslims and now they're here. Because catch this, Islam is not here to immigrate. Islam is here to invade. Islam is not here to live and let live. Islam is here to divide and conquer. Islam is not here to play religious karaoke and to coexist. Islam is here to conquer and take over. So we Christians fall in that category of we're adulterers because we worship Jesus, the man who pretends to be God, but we are also polytheists because we worship the three Gods, Father, Son, Holy Spirit, our God, three in one. So we are very high in that category of the infidel of those who don't worship the one true God. This is the three points of tension to all my young people as you argue to win for the faith of your Muslim friends. Number one, Christology. They will tell you Jesus is not God. So make sure you're equipped to know why Jesus is the God man and why Jesus is the main God. Muslims always come to me in college and tell me, we love Jesus, we love Jesus, we respect Jesus. Jesus never claimed to be God. Jesus never claimed to be worshiped. Jesus never asked people to worship.

I'm like, what, what do you mean? Jesus said, before Abraham was, I am. John 1, 1 said, in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was with God, and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. Jesus is the God-man. Jesus is the main God. Then this is the message of the gospel, that God became man, that divinity embraced humanity, that perfection became sin, that the infinite became an infant, so that we might know him. To all my Muslim friends, we don't just like Jesus. We don't just respect Jesus. We don't just have a sweet crush on Jesus. We worship Jesus! Yes! Yes! Make sure you retweet Kader Katasi when he says, Muslims love Jesus. I'm like, it's just not the Jesus of the Bible. It's a different Jesus. We believe Jesus is God. We worship Jesus, not just have a crush on Jesus. What is the second point of tension is Bibliology. Muslims claim that Jews and the Christians changed the Bible, corrupted the Bible, manipulated the Bible, so we need to go back to the drawing board because Muhammad, who has never seen Jesus,

who has never encountered Jesus, who lived 507 years after Jesus, after the gospel, after the church, after the erection, he claims to know about Jesus more than the people that sold Jesus. Islam is very stupid. It's so dumb. Somehow, a person who has never seen Jesus, like John said it this way, we proclaim to you the one we have heard, touched, and kissed. I wish I kissed Jesus. So Muhammad is a conspiracy theorist who came 570 years after Jesus and who claimed to know about Jesus more than the people that met Jesus. The third thing, Trinitarian theology. Muslims claim that we worship three gods, our God, three in one. I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. We worship the God, the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, our God, three in one. Christianity is not contradictory. It's complementary. It's very philosophical. It's very theological. It's very hard to understand because it's actually the truth. So catch this. You must have courage for the faith

and you must have courage in order to defend the faith. This is the beauty of this message is that you don't need to wage war. You don't need to raise the armies. You don't need to kill the infidel. You don't need to scream, Allahu Akbar. You don't need to bomb other nations. All you need to do is to preach and proclaim the word of the Lord. Paul said it this way. We wage war, but not like the world. He said, we wage war by taking every thought captive and make it submissive to Christ. Paul said that we wage war by taking every single kind of knowledge that sets itself above God and we tear it down. And this is the reason our weapon is the word. Their weapon is the sword. This is the reason our symbol is the cross. Their symbol is the sukkah, yes? Our word is our sword. Their sword is their word. This is very important because we don't need to kill the people. This is why Jesus healed the sick. Muhammad killed the living. This is why Jesus died so that you might live. Muhammad butchered so that he might live. This is why the blood of Jesus is the seed of the church, but the blood of the enemies of Allah

is the seed of the Quran. We don't need to kill people. We don't need to butcher people. All we need to do is to preach and proclaim the word of the Lord. Amen. Catch this. The Bible is the only offensive weapon that we have in Christianity. A lot of people here, you think the Bible is this nice love story between you and Romeo and Juliet and Twila and sweet baby Jesus, but the Bible is not a love story. The Bible is literally the sword of the Spirit. We have a weapon to fight with. In fact, in Christianity, there is only one offensive weapon and that offensive weapon is the word of God. And catch this, young people. The reason the Bible is offensive. is because it is the only offensive weapon that we have. So we must choose courage over cowardice. We must choose passion over apathy. We must choose conviction over compromise. We must have courage for the faith in order to fight for the faith, in order to keep the faith, because America is worth fighting for. Your family is worth fighting for.

Your country is worth fighting for. Your faith is worth fighting for. Your nation is worth fighting for. This is why Paul landed on his life saying, I have fought the good fight. Stop pretending that we're in peace. And I have finished the race. And I have kept the faith. A few years ago, before 2007, before my family escaped the Islamic world of Egypt as religious refugees to go to Australia, my dad converted a particular Muslim woman to Christianity. We didn't intend on converting her. We literally showed her the love of God. Her Muslim husband was very violent and abusive. So we showed her the love of God, we'll preach the gospel. And as a direct consequence for us simply loving her, preaching the gospel, she ended up becoming a Christian, accepting Jesus, repenting of his sin, and getting baptized. What we didn't know at the time is that her husband was part of Muslim Brotherhood. Muslim Brotherhood looks like the Hamas of Egypt. Every single Islamic country have their own Islamic terrorist arm. So what we didn't know at the time is that her husband was part of Muslim Brotherhood. He was very angry and furious at my dad for taking away what is most precious to him,

which is his wife. So he decided he was going to take revenge on my dad by taking what is very precious to him, which was me and my younger brother, John. He decided that he was gonna get two of his Muslim Brotherhood terrorist friend, he was gonna kidnap us, behead us, and send our bodies and heads in a bag as a direct revenge for my dad taking away what is most precious to him. He made the plan, he orchestrated the plan. He came 7 a.m. in the morning as me and my younger brother, John, were about to school and he waited and he waited as me and my brother, John, were going out of our apartments to go to the school. And as we started to move towards our yellow school bus, the three Muslim Brotherhood terrorists, the three Muslim Brotherhood men, all of them froze and they could not move at all. They froze in time, space, and could not move at all until me and my younger brother, John, we went to downstairs, we went to the yellow school bus. The bus drove to the end of the street and the moment the bus disappeared, the three Muslim Brotherhood men, they started to move again. The guy was very angry and very furious. He was like, you cowards, we have killed a lot of Christians. Trust me, Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas,

they have killed a lot of Christians. It's not a very hard job for them to kill two little kids and butcher them and send their bodies and heads in a bag. So they came the week after, he brought two other Muslim Brotherhood men and waited 7 o'clock in the morning as me and my younger brother were going to school. And this time, this moment, the three Muslim terrorist men, they felt a power and a force take their hand and put it behind their head and they froze and they could not move at all. The three Muslim Brotherhood men froze and could not move at all until me and my younger brother, John, we went to the yellow school bus and the bus drove to the end of the street and the moment started to, the moment the bus disappeared, they started to move again. The guy was very angry, very furious. Like what the heck was going on? This is crazy. See, we didn't know this was happening. If I know this was happening, I wouldn't be going to school that day. I'd be like, hey mom, can I please skip school? Someone wants to behead me. I think she would have said yes. No, no, no, no, no. The reason why this was happening is because this evil, wicked Muslim Brotherhood terrorist

came to our house a few weeks later and he said to my dad, your God saved you, your family and your children from my evil and wicked hand. He became a Christian. He repented of his sin. He got baptized and now him and his whole entire family are Christians and fell off to church. I came from Australia to tell you that I shouldn't be here. I couldn't be here if it wasn't for God. God saved me so I can speak to you. God protected me so I can preach to you. God delivered me so I can proclaim to you. Your job is to preach. God's job is to protect. Your job is to speak. God's job is to deliver. Don't be silent. Don't be quiet, don't be afraid, young person, older person, corporate person, living person or dead person, whatever you are. Don't be afraid to have courage for the faith. If God spoke to you, would you lift your hand up? I wanna pray for you quickly. The Bible says it this way, that you'll receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you and you'll be able to speak my words. This is what the Holy Spirit does.

It gives people the power, the passion, and the fire to speak the word of the Lord no matter what the cost. If that's you, lift your hand up. The Holy Spirit came upon an old man by the name of Daniel when they told him you shouldn't pray publicly. Daniel went to Jerusalem, he opened the window and he looked toward Jerusalem and he spoke the word of God. That Holy Spirit came on a young three boys by the name of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. And when they told him you cannot worship Yahweh publicly and you must worship King Nebuchadnezzar, they said, no, we will worship Yahweh, the one and only true God. The Holy Spirit came on a young girl by the name of Esther. She said, I will not be quiet. And if I die, I die. The Holy Spirit is in this room today to give you the courage, the passion to fight for the faith. Lord, I pray for every single person. Give them the courage, passion and authority. We are ready, Lord, to fight harder, to preach bolder, to speak louder. We are ready to fight, fight, fight and preach and proclaim the Word of the Lord. And everybody said, let's give it up for Jesus. Fellowship Church. You go ahead and please find your seat.

If you're here and you've never made that decision to ask Jesus into your life, I wanna give you an opportunity to do that right now. I would ask no one stirring around, no one moving. This is a time where the Holy Spirit is speaking to you. I would ask every head bow and every eye closed. If you're here today and the Jesus that Pastor Andrew was talking about, you say, Dave, I don't have a relationship with that Jesus and I need that. Maybe you're here and you've been playing games with God. You're a lukewarm Christian. You've been living a covert life for him, but you haven't been bold. You haven't been stepping out on faith and living for Jesus publicly. And you need to make that decision today. I wanna give you an opportunity to do that right now. You could do that right where you're at. The Holy Spirit, I know right now, is beginning to speak to hearts. Maybe he's convicting you of an area of your life where you have unconfessed sin that you need to repent of. Let the Holy Spirit speak to you. And if you wanna surrender your life to him right now, you can do that. You simply say, Jesus, I admit to you that I'm a sinner. I can't do this on my own. I've messed up. My life is a wreck.

I have sin in areas of my life, God, where I need healing and I need forgiveness. I don't know how to do it on my own. I pray that you would wash me, cleanse me, make me new. I confess that sin to you right now. Jesus, I believe that you died for me. I believe that you lived a perfect life and that you rose again so I could have victory so I could have victory with you. And Lord, I choose from this day forward to the best of my ability each and every day to follow you, to walk your path that you've lined out for me, to commit to the truth of God's word and make that decision right now. Thank you, Jesus. Rescue me as I choose to follow you from this day forward. In Jesus' name, amen, amen. If you made that decision, that's the single greatest decision that you could ever make. Yeah, church, let's show our appreciation to all of those who surrendered their lives to Jesus today. Today marks the beginning of a brand new day, one of the greatest days of your life. And I would encourage you to do something about that right now. Be bold and tell someone about that decision. We have tables on the side of our room. Our prayer team is there.

We would love to talk with you. We've got a Bible we would love to give you. But following Jesus is not a solo sport. You cannot do it on your own well. You need to be a part of a community that is going to push you in the way, sharpen you, and encourage you to walk with Jesus each and every day. So make sure to tell someone about that decision. And we would love to walk with you each and every day as you walk closer to Jesus. Amen? Amen. Well, hey, next Sunday, we're gonna be continuing. We have an incredible weekend planned. Pastor Sam Kelly is gonna be interviewing Dylan Mandel. Dylan's got an incredible story. He has battled cancer over four times. I'm telling you, a powerful, powerful story. You want to be here. We're gonna have a special service with a time of healing and a time of prayer. Maybe there's something in your life physically or maybe in your family or in your job that you need healing for. We're gonna have a special prayer and healing service here at Fellowship Church. It's going to be a powerful time. Maybe you know someone that's going through something in their life and they need healing.

I wanna encourage you to invite them, bring them with you. It's going to be a weekend to remember, a weekend that you won't forget. So make sure to be here next weekend. The following Sunday is Mother's Day. We got Pastor Lisa Young gonna be here. She's gonna be sharing an incredible word. Bring your mom, bring your entire family to join us for Mother's Day. And also Wednesday, May the 6th, we have Color Clash. How many mixed students we have in the house? I implore you parents, if your student, your young person is not a part of the mix, get them here. This is an easy opportunity to invite them, to bring them. It's the largest paint war in DFW, and that's cool. It's awesome to get colored and paint and you know, but the awesome thing is all of these students, all of these young people are going to hear the gospel. They're going to hear the message of Jesus. I'm telling you what Jesus does in the hearts and lives of these young people at an event like this is truly, truly special. So be in prayer and invite people you know, students you know, families you know to be a part of it. Well, would you stand with me? We want to declare the truth of God's word over our lives today. So we've got a declaration we're all going to make as we leave here, declare this over your life,

declare this over your week. Say Jesus, thank you that in you, I am loved, forgiven and blessed. For you, I will reach up in worship, reach out to share my faith and reach in to become more like you. And because of you, the best is yet to come. Thank you Fellowship Church.
