Unite Youth Conference. Amazing LF Worship!!

Hello men and women, good to see you again. What an honor and a blessing it is to be able to speak to you from Life Fellowship Church here in McKinney where you are a part of our church family. We want you to know that we love you, we pray for you. We have two different prayer groups that specifically pray for you guys, one on Monday, one on Saturday morning, and we do love you. My name is Logan Williams, and my TDC number was 1490218. I have four numbers after that, round and round in the system, and I understand all the feelings that come with coming to prison, and then coming back, and then back again, and then oh my gosh, is this really what my life is going to be? Trying and wanting to do better and just somehow ending up falling. But I just want to encourage you that God is good, and he's just looking for our yes, and if we will just get all in with him one time, he will take it from there. He's just looking for our yes. Hey listen, you can tell your friends and family to download the same Pando app on their phone. You can watch the same messages, the same teachings, and all the cool stuff that's on Pando together, and you can talk about it when you see each other in visitation or when you talk on the phone. Never meant to do this walk alone. Do it with your family. Don't waste this time that you have to pour into this stuff. Encourage your family to get into the same stuff, and y'all can grow together. It's a beautiful thing. The Pando app is such an amazing miracle and awesome piece of technology. Man, thank you God for the Pando app. Man, this morning I was thinking about the armor of God, and that's in Ephesians 6. Most of you probably know that, but if you don't, it's Ephesians 6. It starts in verse 10, and it's very important for us to recognize that there's an enemy that's coming against us that does not want to see us get all in with God. He is going to use our feelings. He's going to use our thoughts. He's going to use our flesh to try to distort us. He's going to try to deceive us. He's going to distract us. He's going to try to do everything that he can to keep us from getting all in with God, and it says in verse 10, a final word. This is Paul speaking to the church in Ephesus. He says, a final word. Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on all of God's armor so that you'll be able to stand firm against the strategies of the devil, for we are not fighting against flesh and blood, but against evil rulers, authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. Therefore, put on every piece of God's armor so you will

be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle, you will still be standing firm. Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God's righteousness. For shoes, put on the piece that comes from the good news so that you will be fully prepared. In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. Put on salvation as your helmet and take the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God. You know, I always hear people say, hey man, when I get up in the morning, I put my armor on. And for the longest time, I'm like, what does that even mean? Like, what does that even look like? Like, I want to put my armor on. Does that mean I just read this? Does that mean I like, in my mind, put on the shoes and put on a breastplate and a helmet? Or what does that look like? And so I have a prayer here that I want to share with you guys. It's called a prayer for putting on the armor of God. And I'm just going to read it to you. And if you guys want to write us and we'll send you a copy of it wherever you're at so that you can have it. But you can kind of take what I'm going to give you along with Ephesians 6 and kind of come up with your own prayer. I always find it much more profitable to put it in my own words so that it means something to me instead of somebody else's words. But it says, all right, putting on the prayer of the armor of God. Lord Jesus, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God because I know that my battle is not against flesh and blood, but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world. Thank you that you have made it possible for me to be strong in your mighty power and to stand against all that the evil one would throw against me. this day. In Jesus name I put on the belt of truth and I pray that I may be centered in and encircled by your truth today. By your power enable me to walk in your truth and give no place to deception or the lies of the enemy. Protect me by the truth of your word. I put on the breast plate of righteousness. I praise you Lord Jesus that I am covered with your righteousness totally in my body soul and spirit. I now pray that by the power of your holy spirit my life would show forth the righteous fruits of your presence. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life. Strengthen and protect the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right good and noble so I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy. I put on the shoes of peace. I choose

to stand on the firm foundation of Jesus and the good news of his amazing grace. In Jesus name I claim over my heart and my mind the peace of God that transcends all understanding. I cast down every anxious thought today and I walk in the gospel of peace. I pray that you would make me ready to share your good news with others. I take up the shield of faith this day and in your name I extinguish every dart and arrow by which the enemy would seek to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, or emotionally. I lift the shield of faith against every arrow directed at me, my family, my business, my possessions, or any part of my domain. I bind every fearful thought in Jesus name and choose whether to walk by faith and not by sight. I put on the helmet of salvation and I pray that you would protect my mind from thoughts that could lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive to Jesus Christ and to reject any thought that is not from you. Transform my mind by the power of your word and grant me a hope-saturated mind so that I may truly overflow with hope by the presence of the Holy Spirit. This day in the name of Jesus I bind and refuse all depressed, despairing, and defeated thinking. Finally I take up the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God. Please give me the insight, wisdom, and revelation to wield your word skillfully against every scheme of the enemy. Thank you that your word on my lips has the power to defeat every attack of the enemy. Thank you Lord Jesus for equipping me with everything I need to win my battles this day. I praise you that I am protected today by the armor of God that I now claim your promises that no weapon formed against me shall prosper. In Jesus mighty name amen. As you can see a lot of this there's there's a lot of scripture in this prayer and guys I want to just reiterate to you how profitable it is when you pray God's word back to him. When you pray God's promises back to him it's amazing and it comes to life and when you speak it out loud when you say these prayers and you speak it out loud and it's so just looking in here there's Proverbs 4.23 is in here, Philippians 4.7 is in here, 2nd Corinthians 5.7 is in here, Romans 15.13 is in here, 2nd Corinthians 10.5 is in here, Isaiah 54.17 is in here. It's full of God's word and the whole prayer is based around Ephesians 6 putting on the armor of God and so if you can find a way I know it's hard God asks us to do hard things but what would it be like if you got all the way in with God just one time if you can find a way to speak these words over your life every day you're going to see your life change you're going to have the peace that passes understanding you're going to have the love that passes knowledge things are not going to bother you you're going to feel a presence of God in your life it's a beautiful thing I want this so

much for you guys I want you to have peace even in the midst of whatever you're going through and so father I thank you for these men and women that you have called that you have that clicked on our life fellowship uh message today it's no accident that they clicked on ours it's no accident that that that they are you you know where every one of them are you know their struggles you know their doubts you know their unbelief God I pray that you would meet them right where they're at that you would let them know how much you love them and that you are after them that it's not a coincidence that that they are seeking these spiritual things that you are coming after them God I pray that you would give them a glimpse and a vision of of the life that you have for them how you want to use them to enlarge your kingdom and make much of your name God we uh we just what an honor to be your hands and feet. And so God, I pray that over these men and women who are watching God, I pray that you would bless them to overflowing God. And that this message would just come alive, that the seeds would take root in their heart and that you would bring the increase. We love you so much. In Jesus name, amen. Whose house? God's house. Let's give him some praise. ♪♪ ♪♪ Welcome to the Unite Youth Rally. How we all doing tonight, everybody? All right, excellent. Wonderful to see you all here. Rayleigh's going to introduce us.

So we have a game to start the night. You guys got to all listen up real close. So here's what it's going to be. Yes, have to listen. It's a debate. We're going to debate this. Is a hot dog a sandwich? Okay? Is a hot dog a sandwich? I'm going to need five people that say, yes, it is, and five people that say, no, it's not. So those that say, yes, it is, you're going to be on the left side of the stage. Those that say, no, it's not, you're going to be over here with me. So I'm going to start, and I'm going to pick five people that say, no, a hot dog is not a sandwich. If that's you, raise your hand. All right, we'll take you. There's one. Two. We'll take you, yep.

All right, everyone listen up. Listen up. Listen up. All right. All right. All right. Okay, here's how it's going to go down. We're going to start with team yes. They're going to get 20 seconds. So we'll start from left to right. And then so he'll give his first response. And then you'll give your rebuttal. And you'll have 20 seconds. And then we'll bounce back and forth until everyone on the stage has spoken. And then here's what I need all y'all to do. Whoever you think won the debate, you're going to shout the loudest for that team. So we'll have a moment for this team. And you'll scream. We'll have a moment for that team. And you'll scream.

And whoever gets the louder cheer, those are the winners. We understand? We got this? Got it. Okay. So team yes, get started. Okay. Why do you think a hot dog is a sandwich? It's bread and meat. Like what else? What other category is there? That's what I'm saying. Right? I think that stands for itself. I don't think. Do you have any more to say about that? Do you have anything else to say? I mean like hot dogs have toppings. Same as sandwiches. Right. Yeah. He said hot dogs have toppings too just like a sandwich. So that's pretty good. I agree. I think we're set. What about y'all? What do you have to say for that? Take it. Talk loud. I think a hot dog is not a sandwich because it has one singular piece of bread.

And a sandwich has two pieces of bread. Also like a sandwich, it has like flat layers. And a hot dog is round. So. Next. You're up. You're up. Because a hot dog is on a bread. It's a sandwich. Because you put an orange on a hot dog. It's a sandwich. Bro said it's a sandwich point blank period it's a sandwich I think it stands for itself so I think we're good yeah but I don't think we need any more time it's a sandwich a hot dog is not a sandwich because one piece of bread a sandwich is two a sandwich is two so it's simple as that I don't even gotta say nothing else a hot dog is not a sandwich I got more time uh hey cheer y'all excited to be here for god baby okay a hot dog is a sandwich definition of a sandwich bread stuff in the middle bread what is a hot dog literally the same thing it doesn't matter how you say it sub sandwich but what sandwich it's a hot dog it's just another phrase for it a hot dog is not a sandwich because it has one piece of bread uh you only cook really like the the hot dog part of it I don't know what to call it uh and I don't know I guess it's technically a taco it's basically a taco pretty much uh so it is not a sandwich time a hot dog is a sandwich see I work at Portillo's right Chicago saw a hot dog if you never had one you gotta have one the entire state of Illinois says a hot dog is a sandwich why are why are we saying it's not a hot dog is not a sandwich can you boil the meat on a sandwich no can you grill the meat on a sandwich no you have variety with what you want on your hot dog unlike a sandwich one more second and what you need on it anything you want sandwich little stuff little stuff like all right a hot dog is a sandwich because it's just as normal as any other sandwich

We give you our attention, we give you our adoration, we give you all of our affection tonight, Lord. I pray over every student and leader in this place, God. I pray that you would give us ears to hear your voice. I pray that you'd give us eyes to see people the way that you see them. I pray that you would give us a heart that burns for you. I think about Luke 24, verse 32, it said, Did our hearts not burn within us when he spoke the scriptures to us? God, give us a holy heartburn tonight for the things of God. We love you and we praise you. And we say, have your way in this place. In Jesus' name, and everybody said, Amen. Amen. Guys, I don't know about you, but a bunch of teenagers in church on a Friday night makes the devil a little bit nervous. Okay? I'm so glad you're here. Hey, we're going to get right into the word. I'm not going to waste too much time here, but I do want to encourage you. You're going to just find a place on the floor to sit, grab your stuff, get in, locked in, ready for the message. I want to encourage you, turn your phone on DND. God wants to speak to you tonight, so remove all distractions. You can come up close. You can go back far. It doesn't matter to me. We have an incredible pastor from Brookhaven Church. Pastor Tony is bringing the fire tonight. It's going to be a great night. As you're getting seated, get nice and comfy. I'm going to actually just welcome up Pastor Tony right now. I don't know where he is, but he's coming up, and the podium's coming up. It's going to be a great night. Hey, say this to your neighbor.

Say, Lock in. Let's go. Lock in. Appreciate it. Appreciate it. Appreciate it. Appreciate it. Thanks, Mommy. That's my mom. I'm just kidding. Hey, by show of hands, who plays sports? Don't be shy. I'll ask again. By show of hands, who plays sports? All right. Did more hands go up the second time? All right. Oh, man. Keep it up, y'all. Help me out here. All right. Yes, you. Yeah, you're pointing at yourself. You don't have to stand. What's your name? One more time. Someone help me. Zane. What sport do you play? Basketball.

Are you a point guard? Let's go. Do you play for school or a club? Love it. Raise your hand if you play basketball, like Zane. The moment comes. Like, you went from C team to B team. It's freshman year. You went from B team to A team. Now you're a sophomore. Or maybe you're one of the cats that made JV as a freshman. And now you're on junior varsity. And then the moment comes. You are on varsity. You're on varsity at your high school. You're in the starting lineup. The moment comes. You got your jersey. You got your socks. You got your Jordans. Or if you like the goats, you got your Kobe's on. One person agrees with me. My guy right here. My guy right here. Kobe is the goat. The moment comes. You get the ball. It's 11, 10, 9, 8. Fourth quarter. Fourth quarter.

You get the ball. 7, 6, 5. Tie game. Moment for a buzzer beater. And you're like, oh, I'm going to give it to somebody else. Imagine that. You were wide open. No one was contesting your shot. You had your moment to hit a buzzer beater. But you passed it. Everyone's watching. Everyone. Everybody in the gym. It's on live stream. The moment was yours. But you passed the ball. Imagine that. You play it safe. You get nervous. And you play it safe. Or maybe you have this thought. I wasn't built for this moment. Mmm. Yeah. Maybe you have that thought flying through your head. We call that leaving points on the board. That's what we call that. We call that leaving points on the board, and here's the problem with that. Some of us do that with the Holy Spirit of God.

You might do that with the Holy Spirit of God. God is like, hey, I'm gonna give you my spirit, and you have a job to do. And that's the problem, because we're like, this might be the moment, I'm in my spot, and oh, Cody's open, it's his. I don't know why I said Cody, but. Maybe that's you with the Spirit of God. Tonight, we look at what happens when ordinary people, normal people, go all in because they receive the Spirit of God. When they get the Spirit of God, they actually go for it. They actually go for it, they actually go all in. And so on this topic, I want you to flip to, or go to, Acts chapter two. Acts chapter two is where we are. Verse 14 is where we're gonna start. And to set the stage for this, in Acts chapter one, Jesus actually rose from the dead and proved to his disciples and other people and lived again on earth for 40 days and proved that he was actually alive. And because he was actually alive, you can actually have life. Because he was actually alive, and he proved it, he proved it. He said, I'm gonna show you, and then he sat down with his disciples in this intimate moment at this meal. They were eating together, and he said,

hey, hey, shortly, I'm gonna physically leave this world, physically leave, but I'm gonna send my Spirit, I'm gonna give you a gift, I'm gonna pass you the rock. Wait for it, and I want you to wait together. Stick together and wait for it. And then in verses seven to 11 of Acts chapter one, you don't have to go there, go to Acts 2.14 for me, but then Jesus said the last words that he ever said in this world. Jesus, in human form, fully human, fully God, before he ascends and says, I'm gonna send you, he says the last words that he has ever said on earth, and he said, I'm gonna give you power. You're gonna receive power. Everybody say power. You're gonna receive power and be my witnesses. That's your job, I'm gonna pass you the rock. That's what's gonna happen. And tonight, in Acts chapter two, the Spirit arrives. The Spirit is here, the Spirit shows up, and that's the text that we're in tonight, Acts 2.14 to 21. The scene for this text is that it's Pentecost. In other words, this is about 50 days after the resurrection of Jesus. We just celebrated Easter just a couple days ago. The disciples are together, and suddenly there's this rushing wind that's super violent. You see these flames land on people, and they start to, the text says,

they start to speak these languages that they never knew. Supernatural stuff is happening here. There's a crowd outside that's witnessing all of this, and they're like, these dudes drinking right now? What's wrong with them? They're getting mocked. And then Peter, loud mouth, mistake-making Peter, stands up, and that's the text that we're in tonight. He opens his mouth today. Don't get too nervous, but Peter is gonna talk, and he's gonna quote the Old Testament. And I want you to know who Peter is. Some of his track record is that this is the same Peter who publicly betrayed his best friend, Jesus. Same guy, like just days ago, betrayed Jesus when someone asked if he was affiliated with this Messiah. His past also proves that this guy buckles under pressure. And everyone in the crowd, this was in Jerusalem, so everyone in the crowd, as he quotes this prophet from the Old Testament. Everyone could have fact-checked them. Everybody came in like, is this guy, is this guy speaking the truth? This is the Peter, this is the situation that's happening. People knew his past, and they knew that he struggled. And I want you to know that Peter was a nobody that was filled by the Spirit of God. He was a nobody that was filled by the Spirit of God, because God is in the business of taking nobodies to save anybody, because he's the only somebody who can.

He uses nobodies. This room has hundreds of nobodies, including me. But the game changes when the only somebody uses you, and I want to know if God is gonna use you. I want to know if you're gonna receive the rock. And shoot it. I want to know if you're gonna go all-in. I'm gonna read. If you're, if you're in Acts 2 14, say, I'm there. Then Peter stood up with the eleven, raised his voice. Peter stands up and speaks out like a boss, and addressed the crowd. Fellow Jews, and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you. Listen carefully to what I say. These people are not drunk, as you suppose. It's only 9 in the morning. No. This is what was spoken by the prophet Joel in the last days. God says, I will pour out. Everybody say, pour out. I will pour out my spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will dream dreams. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. Look at verses 18 and 19. So 19, I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below. Blood and fire and billows of smoke. 18 and 19 references a future fulfillment. Tonight we're focused on a near fulfillment. This text addresses both. Look at verse 20. The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord. And look at verse 21, because that's gonna be the uppercut tonight. And that's what I want you to implant in your heart. Verse 21. And everyone, everybody say everyone, everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. Peter basically said, I'm done playing it safe. I'm done playing it safe. It's time to go all in wherever I'm called to go. I'm gonna admit, when I played high school ball, more times than not, I passed up that rock because I wanted to play it safe. I didn't want to get benched. And I got benched anyways, because I kept passing it.

I kept passing it. That was me being vulnerable, by the way. I didn't like it. I hated it. I got nervous in big moments because I wanted to play it safe. And my coach, coach Phil Bailey, the Mad Bomber. That's just his nickname. Sorry. Phil Bailey. Coach Bailey came up to me after a game one day. So he said, Tony, I have something really important to say to you. It's super important. It's very deep. But bro, when you get the ball, ball. I titled my night, my message tonight, ball out. Everybody say ball out. Coach Bailey told me, bro, when you get the ball, ball. Ball out. So I have a question for you now. What happens when you stop playing it safe with your faith? What does balling out for Jesus look like? What does really riding this ride out with Jesus look like? What happens when you, and I'm like, if I had time to slow down and look at individuals, what happens when you stop playing it safe with your faith? What happens then? I got this really good quote. When you get the ball, ball. When you get the ball, ball. When God pours out his spirit, this is my main point, and this is something you want to write down. And I love my note takers in the room. When you, when God pours out his spirit, the only move is to call on Jesus and to go all in. One more time, because I feel like you didn't hear me. When God pours out his spirit, the only move is to call on Jesus and to go all in.

My title is Ball Out. What happens when you stop playing it safe with your faith? Acts 2.17 says, in the last days, God says, I will pour out my spirit on all people. And verse 21 is the anchor verse. The spirit was poured out so everyone could call on the name of the Lord and be saved. There's no fine print there. There's no minimum to meet. There's no caveat. Everyone. When the spirit of God is poured out, verse 21 says, and everyone, even the cat who betrayed Jesus three times, who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. Before Pentecost, before this text, the Holy Spirit was given to certain people in specific moments for specific times. Like, it was given to prophets, to kings, to judges, specific, select, and reserved. And this prophecy blew that wide open. Changes the game. Changes everything. Because now, it says the spirit has been poured out on everyone and the offer is on the table for you right now. The offer's on the table. I wanna know if you're gonna receive that ball. I wanna know if you're gonna take it and ball out. My first point tonight is,

God pours and he pours completely. God pours and he pours completely. Look at Acts 2.17 again. In the last days, God says, I will pour out my spirit on all people. On all people. This word pour, in the original language, it's echio, and it means this pour, where it's not, I know Allen Bible Church had the water pitcher out the other day, but like, it's like, this word, when it says pour, it's like, it's not like, you get a little bit of spirit, you get a little, Aliyah, Ari, Arsham, you get a little bit, and then over here, you guys get a little bit. This word pour means abundantly, relentlessly, all of it. You can't handle it. That's the word that's being used here. And when God pours, he pours completely. This is an outward meaning. It's visible, it's uncontainable action. And it says all people. Like, it's a relentless pour. This obnoxious, crazy splash. Splash was an understatement. A crazy pour, an outpouring that you can't handle. That's the word being used here. And it says all people.

The text says for sons and daughters, for young men and old men, for servants, and it lists out intentionally people who were less important during this time, even. It said for all people. It's not just for the kings. It's no longer just for the prophets. The spirit's for you. The spirit's for you. The spirit's for me. The spirit's for Uprise, LF Youth. The spirit's for you, Resonate Life, 1132. The spirit's for you, too. The spirit's for all people. All people, Allen Bible, Collision, Rally, Brookhaven. One community. The spirit is for you. No one's exempt. The spirit is for you. The categories that used to matter, like age, status, and background, do not decide access anymore. It's a crazy pour, and it's for all people, all people. So I have to ask you, if God pours out his spirit like that, not selectively, not secretly, why do so many of us treat our faith like it's something to keep quiet? Why do you think God pours out his spirit like that? Why do you think God pours out his spirit like that?

You can't privately contain what God publicly poured out. You can't. It's time. it's a ball and when you get the ball ball don't think of a measured trip drip like it's not a drip think flood think abundance think without holding back God didn't ration the Spirit he poured like he had unlimited supply why because he does and he doesn't run out it's unlimited and it's for all people no one is exempt John 737 says let anyone who is thirsty come to me Jesus and drink rivers of living water will flow Ezekiel 36 says I will put my spirit within you God's long promise finally fulfilled at Pentecost and here's here's here's the deal for you you didn't have to be born into the right family you don't have to have a clean record you don't have to be active in a church right now you don't have to dress a certain way the poor was off for all for all people every person all people everyone in this room right now but Tony what if I've too much for all people everybody everybody say everybody and that's great news and we're called to tell anyone and everyone you have a job to do you have a job to do so have you been treating God like he's only interested in certain people what would change if you believed he was already poured out for you what would change in your life if you truly believe that God poured his spirit out for you my second point when you fumble it get back up when you fumble it get back up don't skip past who's preaching this sermon in Acts chapter 2 don't ignore who the who the speaker is in this text this is Peter we're talking about 50 days before this text he was at this fire this courtyard fire this servant walks up to him and says you're Jesus's boy aren't you he goes nah I don't know who that is and he walked with Jesus for three years some of Jesus's closest friends one of Jesus's best friends this girl came up to him he says no no no you're gonna do that to him I don't know him I don't know him three denials called the curses swore that he didn't know Jesus and then he wept about it that's the guy that's the guy preaching this message like when you fumble it get back up that's who's preaching this message you can't listen

you can't ball out if you're still on the floor from the last play you with me you can't when you're when you're still thinking about what you did knowing the truth that God or maybe you don't know God forgave you for that that's why Jesus died that's why he does that was his purpose he gave his life you think about quarterbacks anybody play football any QBs in the room all right all right trying to be humble I gotcha I gotcha you think about what makes Brady and Dak and Mahomes what you think about what makes them great like what separates the great QBs and the in the good QBs the great ones forget about the pick that they threw two plays ago they're forgetful they're in a leadership role they got to control the offense and even if they handed it off to the wrong person or threw a pick the great QBs are forgetful about the last play Peter did not earn the right to preach this sermon y'all he was proof of the sermon he didn't earn the right to preach it like he didn't he didn't come up with his own willpower and was and hyped himself up and was like I can do this because I can do this Peter's a nobody that God used to save a ton of people to call people to him God uses nobodies so what changed Peter then this betraying loudmouth well Jesus gave proof that he was alive Peter's saw him, the same eyes that watched the arrest and betrayed him, the same eyes that wept, it wasn't his own power, it wasn't self-improvement, it was a nobody with a resurrected Jesus that gave him his spirit. It was the Spirit of God poured out on him. It turned a broken man into a bold man. If anybody, I wonder if anybody in this room tonight feels broken. The Spirit of God will turn you into a bold man, a bold girl, a bold follower of Christ. It's only the Spirit of God, because Jesus is in the business of bringing dead things to life. And if you think about John 21, you don't have to go here, but Jesus asked Peter if he loved him, reinstating Peter here. And then Jesus told Peter, if you love me, go feed my sheep, go feed my lambs. Jesus didn't just forgive Peter, he gave him a job. Restoration isn't just about getting your record cleared, it's about being sent back in the game. It's about balling out again. I think some of you are carrying something, maybe from

this past school year. Maybe it's a choice you made, maybe it's a pattern, maybe it's something, a sin struggle you can't seem to shake. Maybe you have some sort of addiction that keeps crawling back around the corner every weekend. Maybe it's cheating or academic dishonesty. Maybe it's gossip or talking behind people's backs. Maybe it's hooking up and sexual pleasures. Maybe that's your story. Maybe it's an obsession with social media or comparison or anger and blowing up at family members. Maybe it's lying. Maybe it's cutting people off in isolation. Maybe it's pride, saying I don't need anybody. Maybe it's the temptations that hurt yourself, or maybe it's pornography and sexual sin. Or maybe, maybe you have a vape pen in your pocket right now. Or maybe, maybe you're high. I feel like, I feel like, I feel like you're carrying something. Maybe it's bitterness towards someone who hurts you, and you came in here half convinced that you used up all of your chances, and you feel like it's strike three, I'm out. Peter stood up anyways. Peter got up and spoke like a boss anyways. God used him still. Not because he had it together, but because Jesus called him back. I want you to write this on your notepad and in your heart. Jesus is calling you tonight. Jesus is calling you tonight. What would you do differently if you really believe Jesus wasn't done with you? My last point, and I'm closing here. Everyone who calls gets in. Everyone who calls gets in. Say everyone. Everyone who calls gets in. Verse 21, the word everyone, this carries the whole message. And everyone, like and everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. One word. Everyone. Not everyone who has it together. Not everyone who grew up in church. Not everyone who hasn't done that one simple thing. Not everyone who cleans up first. Like, pop quiz, what number do you call when there's a critical emergency? Good, good. I'm glad you know. I want everyone to know. 9-1-1. Like, if there was an emergency, how ridiculous would it be if you got to a point to where you were like, hold on, before I dial it, um, la la la la la la la. All right, I said good all right before I talk to them I got let me get my speech together and that would be crazy you don't have to clean anything up before you call on the name of Jesus you don't he wants you just as you are maybe you are high he

wants you right there maybe you did look at pornography three days ago he wants you right there you can call on the Jesus right there right where you are it'd be crazy if you felt like you had to clean yourself up he came for the dirty people you call because you need help Paul says in Galatians don't add to the gospel man don't add to it how to have a mentor that asked me one time Tony if someone asked you when you get to heaven why why should I let you into heaven like if I got to the front gates of heaven and someone opened that gate and they asked me why should I let you in if I start any statement with I because I did this because I because I went to church wrong right because I served because I saying because I spoke because I gave to the homeless because I was a nice person wrong it's only ever and always because of the work of Jesus and everyone everyone who calls on the name of Jesus will be saved everyone it's only because of the work of Jesus Jesus already paid for it and God takes it seriously when people put these extra silly locks on a door he already swung wide open don't let don't let religion tell you that door is locked Jesus already paid to swing it wide open Jesus was the payment and his resurrection was the proof that the check cleared it cleared verse 21 everyone who calls on the name of Jesus is saved that's a lifeline for anyone and is available to everyone who calls and it's always available some of y'all came tonight because someone dragged you here to some random thing called one night some of y'all know that something's been off in life and you just can't name it or maybe you've been in church for the majority of your life but it's always been more of your parents faith or maybe you just wanted to look the part but you're like nah I don't I'll pass the rock I just want to look the part maybe that's you tonight is the night to make this faith yours is your faith yours or is it borrowed tonight is the night to call on his name for yourself everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved betraying Peter preach to people who were even mocking him and the text says that day 3,000 people gave their life to Jesus Christ 3,000 people called on the name of the Lord and were saved forever not almost everyone not

everyone who gets their life sorted out not everyone except you everyone including you the ball is being passed and when you get the ball ball don't leave tonight without making this faith yours and I want you to know that you have leaders and pastors in this room that have full faith that something happened in this room tonight supernaturally whether you saw and noticed it or not don't rush past it we're about to sing together again we're about to sing to Jesus again don't overthink it don't talk yourself out of it stay open to that tugging that's in your heart right now we're about to do business with the Lord we're gonna have another moment together you're gonna want to be here for it I don't want you to be distracted by a bag of chips I don't want you to be distracted by your phone leave it on D&D put it on lock right now we're gonna worship together and we're gonna talk to Jesus together let's pray together Lord we love you and there are people in this room who are confused who might even be confused to why, as to why they are here. There's people in this room who, who are actually thinking about a sin struggle that they've been trying to find life in for a long time now. There's people in this room who have found their identity in things and people. There's people in this room who are anxious. There's, there is someone in this room who, like Peter, feels as if they are a nobody. But Lord, your truth says that you are in the business of using any one of us. You have poured out your spirit and everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. No questions asked. And we believe that truth and we live in that truth. So Lord, would you continue to work in our hearts? We love you and we worship you in Jesus name. I'm still in your presence. All the noise dies down. Lord, speak to me now. You have all my attention. I will linger and listen. I can't miss a thing. Lord, I know my heart wants more. My heart wants something new. So I surrender all. And all I want is to live within you. Be undone by who you are. My desire is to know you deeper. And Lord, I will open my heart to you. From my fears until I'm free. I am desperate for attention again. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh. You're the fire in the morning. You're the cool in the evening. The breath in my soul. All the life in my bones.

There is no hesitation in love and affection. It's the sweetest of all. Lord, I know my heart wants more. My heart wants something new. So I surrender all. And all I want is to live within your love. Be undone by who you are. My desire is to know you deeper. And Lord, I will open up again. Throw my fears into the wind. I am desperate for a touch of heaven. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh. I open up my heart to you. I open up my heart to you now. So do what only you can. Jesus, have your way in me now. I open up my heart to you. I open up my heart to you now. I open up my heart to you. I open up my heart to you. Jesus, have your way in me now. I open up my heart to you. I open up my heart to you now. To do what only you can. Jesus, have your way in me now. Oh. You're doubting not the word. You're doubting not the word. Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na. Na, na, na, na. Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na. I open up my heart to you. I open up my heart to you now. To what only you can. Jesus, now you're waking me up. Oh. What is to live within love? Be undone by who you are. My desire is to know you deeper and more. I will open up again. From my fears into the world. I am desperate for a touch of heaven.

Just a second, if it's OK. We'll go back to that bridge if that's OK. But man, I want to tell you that tonight we are not messing around, you and I. Tonight we're not playing games. Tonight we're not singing these lousy songs. Tonight we are praising the Lord of all creation, the God that sacrificed his son on that cross. So listen, listen, listen, listen. No, listen, listen, listen. Shh. We are not here for hype. We are here for a movement of God. We are not here to just jump around and leave and tell all of our friends and post a nice Instagram story. We are here because we are hungry for God to move. Come on. We are hungry. We are hungry for God to move. And so if you are hungry, I don't want you to keep your eyes open and half sing this bridge out. I want you to bow your heads with me. I want you to raise your hands with me because we are worshiping Jesus. Come on. So if you love Jesus like I love Jesus, I want you to lift your voices. Here we are, Lord. Here we are. We open up our hearts to you, Jesus.

God, we don't want a half-outpouring of your spirit. We want the entire power that is received through your spirit, God. God, I pray that this generation is receiving a marking moment in the name of Jesus. Come on. Everybody sing it out. ♪♪♪ ♪♪♪ ♪♪♪ ♪♪♪ ♪♪♪ My desire is to know you deeper And Lord, I will open up again Throw my fears into the wind I am desperate for a touch of your love My desire is to live within your love Be undone by who you are My desire is to know you deeper And Lord, I will open up again Throw my fears into the wind I am desperate for a touch of your love I am desperate for a touch of your love Lord, I pray for the student in this place, Lord, that is seeking something from you tonight, Lord. I pray for the student in this place that doesn't even know they're seeking you right now, Lord. God, I pray freedom in this place. God, I pray for whatever student came in here with those baggage and those chains and those lies and that shame, Lord, that that falls at the door, that as they're at this altar right now, they experience the freedom that is found when we call on the name of Jesus. With all your heads bowed, if there's someone in this place,

as Pastor Tony said it just a few minutes ago, maybe your friend invited you, maybe you saw some posting on social media and you're like, I guess I could go to that. And you don't know why you're here, but you know that there's something in your heart that is stirring. I want to tell you that God is speaking to you tonight. I want to tell you there's something beautiful when the body of Christ gathers together, when the people of God gather together, chains fall. When the people of God gather together, freedom is discovered. When the people of God gather together, people experience the freedom that is only in Jesus. So I believe there's someone in this room. I believe there's at least one person in this room that you are here searching. And I want to tell you that, as Pastor Tony said, the word says if all those that call upon the Lord will be saved. You don't have to perform. You don't have to fake it. You don't have to know the right words. All you have to do is say, Jesus, I need you. Jesus, I can't do this on my own. I've been doing this all my life, and I'm just further and further into the pain. I'm further and further into the shame. God, I need something new. Come on, if you're in this place with nobody looking, nobody feeling like you're getting judged, if there's someone in this place that needs to call upon the name of Jesus today that says, I've been walking this path on my own, and I need Jesus. This Jesus they talk about is what I need. If that is you in this place, I want you to just raise your hand right now. Amen. Amen. Raise it proud. Raise it proud. I'm gonna give you one more chance. If you have never called on the name of Jesus tonight, it is the most transformative decision you will ever make. Every lie you've ever believed about yourself begins to be revealed from what it is, a lie. You've been wondering who you are. Let me tell you, Jesus tells you who you are. Your identity is in him, and so if you need to call on the name of Jesus, if you raise your hand already, keep it up high, but if you want to call on the name of Jesus tonight for the first time, and as the word says, you will be saved, why don't you just raise your hand right now. Amen. Amen. Keep it up. Keep it up. I'm gonna pray for you, and then we're gonna do something real uncomfortable. If you raise your hand to get to accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, we have a room for you outside in the lobby for you to have a conversation with the pastor about that decision. So I don't want you to feel awkward about it. I want you to step out in confidence, believing that Jesus is going to change your life, and the other people in this room. have already accepted Jesus know that Jesus changes everything come on someone say amen

Jesus changes everything come on somebody so listen listen listen listen if you made that decision and you know who you are i'm gonna pray for you and then we're gonna send you out there and there's gonna be time for you to come back and worship with us but the most important thing for you to do is to talk to somebody about the greatest decision you've ever made so why don't y'all pray this with me Lord Jesus we call on you tonight God I know that I am a sinner and I know you died for me God I turn from my sin and I accept you as my personal Lord and Savior I leave the old life behind and I step into the new creation in Jesus name and everybody say it all right y'all let's come on celebrate come on that's worth celebrating listen it's not over yet I'm gonna talk to the rest of you but first if you made that decision I want you right now out that exit right now I want you to go step out there it's not gonna be awkward come on I saw a bunch of hands come on let's go out there there you go there you go take that step take that step come on if you just accepted Jesus I want you to step out there we're gonna have a conversation with you we're gonna give you another 15 seconds to do it come on y'all celebrate that come on I'm gonna lose my voice come on all right y'all who's fired up come on glory to Jesus come on God's not done moving in this place y'all he has something for the the person that is experiencing for the first time like just now but he has something for every person that has already called on his name he has a word for you he wants to consume your heart with his power and his holy spirit he wants to challenge you that this is not a stationary faith but this is a faith that will go Isaiah 6a says I saw the Lord and he said who will go and I said what did I say here I am Lord send me and I'm gonna be honest y'all I've been I've been a pastor for a little while now and the and the thing that is the most exciting thing about your generation is you are a generation that is not afraid to have honest conversations you are a generation that is not afraid to go I'm gonna be honest I'm an old guy my generation listen listen listen all right I like the hype but listen you are a generation that's not afraid and God is going to use that you're already seeing God use that but I want to tell you that tonight in order to experience this word that you hear a lot and it's kind of like a buzzword now but this word revival revival is not found through hype moments revival is found in repentance revival is found through a generation of people that say I'm done with the old I just want what you want from me Lord it's for a generation that says I have this altar I will lay my sin down I will lay my pride down I will lay my comfortability

down and I will say whatever you have for me whether it's easy or whether it's the hardest thing I've ever done I will go and the real question is how many of you could honestly say you would do that the truth is probably not that many but I want to I want to pray for us right now and I want to I want to pray that God pours his spirit out on this place that he ignites his Holy Spirit power that we talked about from Acts 1 where he says if you wait upon him he will pour his power out not his not his comforts not his like whatever's personal for you he said I'll pour my power out to you because power is not meant to be held in power is meant to take you places you've never been power is meant to speak to people that you never speak to power is meant to bring people in that you never thought would know Jesus but guess what you have a power of God that dwells inside of you and so listen listen my challenge for all of you we're gonna lace up our boots in just a few moments all right come on and we can have the hype but if there's anything you receive from tonight if there's if there's a word you receive from the Lord it's this I'm going all in come on someone say all in all in no listen listen that's a big statement that's not a statement of like I'm going all in but then I'm gonna go home and I'm just gonna do the same thing I was doing before that's not a that's not a statement of okay Lord I'll go all in while I'm at Unite and then you know what I'm gonna still go watch that tonight. That's not a statement of like yeah Lord yes I'll say this to you but my actions are never going to show it. That is a generation of people that are saying I will not stay the same. I will show my classmates. I will show my school. I will show my circles that Jesus changes everything. That Jesus calls us out of the old and into the new so why are we still living in that grave? It's time to step out. It's time to be the new creation. It's time to say I will go. Others will not go but I will go. Other people that claim Jesus will not go but I will go. So if that is you in this place I want you to just raise your hands with me. I want you to pray to the Lord as I pray. I want you to say it in your own voice. I want you to talk to him. I don't want you to let me talk to him for you. He's listening to your prayers so I just say as I pray you pray. Lord Jesus here we are. God here here is a bunch of high school and junior high students that are saying I am discontent with stagnancy in my faith. I am not happy with the way that it's been going. I want something new. I know that your word says that you will do immeasurably more than we can ask

think or imagine. So I pray you have your way in this place Lord. Every student that has their hands raised in surrender right now I pray that your spirit ignites a movement. That this doesn't just leave after the doors close and the lights turn off but this is a catalyst moment for students that are saying I will go. Others may sit but I will go. Lord I pray for a mass repentance in this place right now. We've been trying to do this for so long on our own. God I pray every believer has the humility to know that we are not enough on our own. But it is only through full humility and surrender to your will that we experience everything you have for us. God I know your word says when we pray we pray like this. Your kingdom come, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. I pray that tonight we see a glimpse of earth as it is in heaven Lord. God have your way in this place Lord. Jesus have it all. Jesus have it all. Come on y'all. Pray it out just in your own voice right now. Jesus have it all. Everything. Our wins, our losses, our joys and our pains Lord. God I pray we lay it all right here. Lord have your way. Jesus, Jesus have it all. The praise of all the world. Jesus have it all. Jesus have it all. All blessing and all honor. All majesty and all.

All my days, Lord. All my days, all my life, Lord, have it all. All my days, Lord. All my days, all my life, Lord, have it all. Jesus, this isn't just a song that we're singing tonight. But we're gathered here as a body of young adults and youth in this room. To say that, Jesus, there's nothing in this world that we can't do. We find that we can search, we can look high and look low, but there's nothing that can satisfy us but you, Jesus. So tonight, we're making a decision to say, God, you can have everything. We're holding nothing back. We're hiding nothing from you, God. Those addictions, God, you can have it, whether it's pornography we've been running to, whether it's a vape we've been running to, God, we lay it down tonight at your feet, because you're worthy. You gave everything for us, God. So we give you everything, rest bones. Come on, can we sing that one more time? All my days, all my life, you can have it all. All my days, all my life, have it all. Come on, sing it to Jesus so he can hear your voice. All my days, all my life, you can have it all. We really mean it, Lord. All my days, all my life, have it all. All my days, all my life, you can have it all. All my days, all my life, have it all. Jesus, we give you everything tonight,

because you gave everything for us. You gave your life. You were beaten and bruised. They whipped you. And so, God, we make a decision tonight to lay down our lives for you, God, because you're worthy of it. Lord, we love you, and we bless your holy and matchless name. Jesus' mighty name we pray. Amen. Come on, can we give Jesus praise? Can we give Jesus praise tonight? Come on, the King of kings, the Lord of lords. Now, come on, can we lace up our boots and put on our back pocket? Worship the Lord with that tonight. Come on, let's all come to the front. Let's all come to the front. Come on, let's all worship the Lord. Oh, we will follow you. Oh, we give our lives to you tonight, Lord. For too long, we've been quiet, silenced by the lies of the enemy. But a new song is rising from our mouths. We'll sing out anew then. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, we won't miss this moment that we were born for such a time as this. Reaching for our brothers and our sisters.

We won't let the devil win. We won't look. And we won't look back at our lives. We've seen another king. Oh, we've paid it all. We've paid it all. Now we are his. He's everything. I've decided I will follow Jesus. Anywhere he leads us, God's glory will go. I've decided I will follow Jesus. Jesus, any way He leads us, that's where we will go We've got no more questions, and we will go in His authority Jesus, we stand in His presence, and we say yes In Your authority, I have denied I will follow Jesus, any way He leads us, that's where we will go I have denied I will follow Jesus, any way He leads us, that's where we will go I have denied I will follow Jesus, any way He leads us, that's where we will go I have denied I will follow Jesus, any way He leads us, that's where we will go Oh, that's where we will go Oh, we'll follow You Oh, we'll follow You I'm riding with Jesus wherever He goes Living surrender, this life's all mine I'm riding with Jesus wherever He goes Living surrender, this life's all mine I'm riding with Jesus wherever He goes
