Welcome
Thank you for joining us today.
Let’s welcome everyone that is listening to us via our podcast.
I hope if you are in the Orlando area, you will stop by and worship with us.
To understand where we are going, we need to look at the end.
Jesus explains at the end of His sermon, it is wise to hear His words and do them.
Not because they are ingredients that will allow us to avoid trouble but when trouble comes, our foundation is strong enough to survive.
In this series, we will unpack this new standard, this Wild Standard.
Scripture(s)
(ESV) — 24 “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.
Series Summary
Jesus is the standard
The wild standard is not something we live up to, it is something we are invited to live in
Where there is no standard, there is confusion
Jesus is the standard
Empire vs Kingdom
Empire vs Kingdom
The presence of problems is not the absence of blessings
The presence of problems is not the absence of blessings
You are not blessed because of what you have, you are blessed because of who you have
The Lordship of Jesus isn’t dependent on my comfort
You are not blessed because of what you have, you are blessed because of who you have
The Lordship of Jesus isn’t dependent my comfort.
Your feelings may be valid but they don’t always bring value
To be whole, sometimes you have to let go
You are called to build your life on the rock, not live under one
Up to this point, we have dealt with the mind, the heart and this week we are going to look at our walk...

Anxiety...
(ESV) — 25 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on.
Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.
Are you not of more value than they?
27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?
28 And why are you anxious about clothing?
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.
33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself.
Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
Illustration
Are there any reality tv fans in the house today?
It is truly a guilty pleasure of mine.
I typically don’t like to admit it, but since we are family I feel like this is a safe place.
I used to avoid them like the plague.
Then I started to ok with watching them with my wife.
Then it got to, “did you watch the bachelorette without me”?
I think what I love to see is how people’s character evolve as the camera continues to roll.
The pressure to perform is a fascinating thing to watch.
I particularly love the singing competitions.
Especially when they do all the background character development.
There was this one episode where this young man laid his entire life on the line for the opportunity to be the next superstar.
His daughter was in the next room, his family was cheering him on.
He was so nervous.
You could tell he had talent but his emotions got the best of him…none of the judges turned around for him.
He had the talent, but when he was reconnected with his family he simply said, I lost myself.
He was so consumed with making an impression, that he lost his authenticity.
Transition/Bridge
We live in a world where we are under such pressure.
Pressure to perform.
Pressure to be perfect.
Pressure to have it all figured out.
Pressure to have all the answers.
Pressure to be the perfect father.
Pressure to be the perfect family.
Pressure to be the perfect executive.
Pressure to be the perfect pastor.
Please believe me, pastors are under constant pressure, myself included.
I am standing on a platform that I didn’t build.
Pastoring a church that I didn’t plant.
Leading a staff I didn’t develop.
You don’t think the pressure to be perfect isn’t trying to find a way to work its way into my soul?
However, Jesus said, take MY yoke for my yoke is easy and my burden light.
() I have decided that I can’t make people come, stay, give, serve.
All I can do is be faithful to God, my family, and my calling and God will add the increase.

The pressure to be perfect isn’t from God. Being perfect isn’t a fruit of the Spirit, goodness is.
That means that we are trying to achieve something outside of the boundaries of grace.
It’s only when we drop the mic, that can we pick up peace.
I’ve decided if I am good enough for God, then it is good enough for man.
Being perfect isn’t a fruit of the Spirit, goodness is.
That means we are trying to achieve something that we aren’t graced to do.
Please understand, be driven to be great.
Study your craft.
Put the work in.
What we are talking about here is motive.
If we are doing it so that others will applaud us or to fill a void, we are setting ourselves to live lives where our validation comes from man, not God.
