following program is sponsored by seattle open door church yet open door church is committed to loving god loving people and loving life our doors are open to whomever no mass required seattle open door church thing we can look at politicians and this is what we know for sure they don't think it's the best policy because many times you politicians are caught in lies deception and then in our own lives that we can be dishonest at times now i w you to raise your hand if you ever been dishonest some fright some of you will lie and not raise your hand because every single one of us have been decide is there anybody here that is never lie officer in your life to him to try to get out of a ticket i don't know that the reality of all of us have lied at one time or another but just because we have lied doesn't mean it's ok we understand that right honesty is still the best policy always will be the best policy in any situation honesty is the best policy but i believe we go by what this word says because this is the truth the bible doesn't lie where principles in the bible we follow in collages thirty nine it says do not lie to one another since you laid aside the old cell with its evil practices do not lie to one another do not lie to one another since you've laid aside the old self with his evil practices what the scripture is saying is that we used to have the old nature of ourselves and in and out all of nature some of these we used to do is lie so in our own nature we used to lie and what the author is saying what paul  saying is that we have put away the things that we used to do and so one of the beings that we put away is to lie have you put that part of a way in your life or if you're caught in a situation where you still lie to get out of that situation perfect example is tickets dobbs or pulls you over and he says do you know how fast you're going i'm sorry off didn't know well st off that's stupid to say that you know why that means you're paying attention so you should get a ticket you don't be honest because you can get favre be honest because it's the right thing to do whether you get favor or not do not lie to one another since you laid aside the old self as evil practices i'm different than who i used to be i used to lie but i tell the truth should that not be our testimony young people do to others as you would have them to do to you do to others as you would have them do to you what is that sometimes called sometimes called the golden rule do to others as you'd have them d and thirty one so do you want people to lie to you so should you lie to them no do you want people to be deceptive with you they they actually go more than lie they turn around and try to deceive and trick you into manipulate you you want people to do that to you know so it says do it to others you have them to do i want people to be honest with me i want people to be sincere with me i want people to operate in  good people would be honest with us we should be honest with them it should be something that reece drive for even if we fall short do we lessen this standard because we fall short i know sometimes i'm going to lie so you know what god forgives me when i lie and he understands that sometimes i lie so it's ok is that how we live as christians hopefully not absolutely not and thirteen this is pretty strong words the integrity of the upright guides them but the quickness of the treacherous destroys them the taggerty of the upright guides them when you walk in integrity it will lead you to walk a certain path right if i'm walking in integrity there's certain ways i'm going to goal certain things i'm going to do if i live with this honesty i go a different direction become a treacherous which means your dishonesty is to harm others that it will destroy you and everybody in this room will say bots there are people busy who have been this honest with me they have been evil with me they have been treacherous with me but they have not been destroyed is that true they're still on this earth maybe they lied about you maybe they cause you to lose a job maybe turn around and broke up a relationship you had by their dishonesty but they're still around when it says that the crookedness of the treasures destroys them you know has been destroyed is their hearts their conscious is being destroyed their hearts being destroyed in the in their will be a judgment so if i'm living a life of dishonesty in i'm living a life of deception and i'm manipulating people and it looks like i'm getting away with it in my getting away with it i get away with it at the time but i get away with it in the end you know so my deception my trickery my treacherous behavior may appear that god is not seen it but the end there will be a judgment the com but along the way it starts to affect us if you're deceptive if you're lying if you're dishonest if you're doing things as deceptive and you look in the mirror what do you see you see a dishonest deceptive person how do you live with that you know there's only one way to live with that  deceive yourself to justify your behavior that's when we can live with that so you don't deceive others but you deceive yourself and destruction comes when there is deception and seventeen this is i think we should live as christians james three hundred and seventeen wisdom that comes from above is st of all pure then peace loving gentle open to reason full of mercy and good fruit impartial insincere there's a character traits that i think all of us would like to have in our lives begin james three hundred and seventeen wisdom that comes from above where is wisdom coming from from above from heaven we're not talking about man's wisdom we're ten about god's wisdom we want to live according to god's was not man's wisdom so when man's wisdom comes from above him st off it's pure if you walk in wisdom you will walk in purity a wise man walks and purity is this is peace loving if you're walking in wisdom you want to see peace you want peace to be around you if you walk of purity more likely peace is going to follow you then it says that wisdom that comes from above is gentle it's cause i it's caring is wisdom says i want to get all the information and i want to be open to reason convince me if i am wrong show me that i am wrong a wise person is going to find out the wrong and unwise person never wants to receive anything but good news you're the greatest person you're wonderful you do everything right is it wisdom to want that because if people tell you everything you do is right you for you're a great person you probably will never change and those areas that need to change will not change best be open to reason is that rhythm is full of mercy and has good fruit if you walk  wisdom there will be evidence of you walking in wisdom if you're walking in wisdom you don't make bad choices and then it says that wisdom is impartial that means wisdom has no favoritism if you're walking on wisdom if you're being wise as a human being you don't start show partiality and then it says that wisdom is sincere i take sincere is being real wisdom is religious and sear it doesn't put on a mask it isn't fake people it was seek god for wisdom to see an open door church is walking in wisdom it will walk in purity it will not have all turned your motives as a church its motos will be pure your church walks in wisdom it will want peace it doesn't want turmoil as a church we don't want turmoil we want peace we want to do anything we can to bring peace in a situation if

an open door church walking in wisdom it will be open to reason the cell of open door church is walking in wisdom it will be open to hear two sides of every issue if the open door church is walking  wisdom it will be full of mercy mercy is given to those who don't deserve mercy if the elbow opened or church is going to walk in wisdom it gives mercy to those who do not dese church operates in wisdom there will be good fruit that comes from that i think the greatest fruit that could come to a church is salvation of souls i think the greatest good that can come to a church is the lives transform if we are operating in lives as in wisdom as a church there should be some good fruit that will see that will come from that seattle george church is going to operate in wisdom it will be impartial it will not take sides on any issue it will want the truth to prevail it will want justice to prevail if see it open or churches can operate in wisdom it will be sincere it will be open it will be bottled it will be real if we as a church are going to be a church that's a wise church room apply these principles in every situation that we handle right not only in the eyes of the lord but also in the eyes of men we are taking pains how many know all sometimes things are painful sometimes when you walk in wisdom in integrity and honesty it's painful sometimes when you walk in mercy it's painful sometimes when you're sincere it's painful sometimes life is painful for we are taking pains to do what is right not only in the eyes of the lord but also the eyes of men we as a church must do what is right before god no matter the cost no matter how painful it may be to do what is right we as a church need to do what is right for our got but not only before god but before man that we do what is right not only be for god but for what man sees that we're doing that man says what we're doing is the right thing to do that even if man does not like us because we're christians even a bad doesn't like what have taken place in this church we should do what is right for the sake of man because we walk in wisdom can i tell you that honesty is still the right policy and will always talk about going to jerusalem the father god our jerusalem is right here and during the regular and what that means and i pray that father god that we would go we would obey in jesus name amen so do you know that every one of us can participate in ministering in that part and you know what'll happen if we minister the park you know or probably also minister someplace else why because we found out that when we minister at the park we actually could do it so we do something else so what can you do you consider the location and pray can anybody sit but this see everybody sitting now so if you tell me pastor which i can't go there because i can't sit i'm not going to believe you because you're all sitting right now and you have sat for about thirty minutes forty minutes or so can you sit for thirty minutes forty minutes in a chair so i know you could sit and pray pray quietly so you can sit and pray quietly you c but out of it you can sit there praise to god i am claiming this territory for your kingdom lord i am praying that wherever my ikan see i'm praying for your holy spirit to work and move can you pray out loud can you shout out  can you join in singing so we put on some music and amazing grace there everybody can sing amazing grace in this church you may sing it off key it's ok doesn't matter  not how good you can sing is the heart can you sing can you share your testimony can you tell people you accepted jesus well yeah but i'm not like them yes you are you're sinner like them you're still this is a crazy thing you're still center in a saying at the same time our life we're saying we're covered by blood we're justified we're sanctified we've been set apart in god's eyes is this we have not sin but the truth of the matter we still sin a times so can you share your testimony can you pray for people can you actually lay hands of people and pray for people can you walk there is a greet the people at the park and you so your friendly proud not a prayer just isn't my get but i have the gift of hospitality can you be hospitable at the park hey welcome come on in what you sit down with us you know what we're having some tacos they want some tacos can you be hospitable he just treat people in this welcome people and can you help keep the park lane who can't do something to reach jerusalem and if we do that guess what you might do it right over here but do it over there make it a safe week you might see somebody that's homeless or looks homeless and man you're at the grocery store you might actually walk up to them  them you never been able to do that before but after you've been in the park for a week and you didn't get shot killed robbed maybe you'll realize that homeless people aren't is evil was bad as some make in the bee and they're actually human beings that need a savior that need to be loved is that they condemn and by the way you also learn which ones not to hang with because some of them are whack jobs some are ones you don't want to be around but you'll figure that out right so when you see them start to stab past a ridge that's the one you don't go to i need somebody that wants this sort of the need someone that wants this sword to come up right now or you did hear me i have a sword here they have a sword here i do some of the come to get this sort of somebody get this swor d pat you waited too long ok there you go that's going to be living there's that now you can have that cheap one i don't care you're not keeping that one the sword but there's i want to say it don't matter if it's a sword like this of a sword like this what matters is that you go out the battle you've got the battle can god use that sword to use that sword absolutely sixteen in the bible that's all you need to know god gave his son for people to have eternal life that's all you need to know you have that you have your testimony you have everything that you need so maybe you have a small sword if you have a large sword maybe got all the years and years of knowing jesus maybe you only have six days of knowing jesus you have a testimony in a story we just need to go and take the sword out there is need to go there and touch people's lives and when i say that please please please i'm saying literally go and do that here here in our city there's all kinds of ways that we can do that from the movie to go out there so we have some another church that had the same vision the pastor after a shared my vision the pastor saw me and he says last week i had a bit of that we stand a part of that part and for two hours just worship jesus and share the gospel just love on people so i know that their church will do  what their church did in our church did what if one of three or four of us did it but it's not this coming week you've got to care for the movie but after the movie that's next week on tuesday on we're going to start doing some things in the park i encourage join with us pray with us be a part of amen and close in prayer lord god i thank you father god for your word i thank you father god that we are called warriors and soldiers for your kingdom we're supposed to be soldiers for christ so i pray father god we would put on the full armor of god and we take the sort of the spirit and lard quotes that passage it also says that we are to pray you can put on all of the armor of god seven but we need to pray lord god the father god we would make a commitment in prayer to pray for souls to pray for our community to pray for people to be delivered set free to be healed  from every sickness disease addiction there is the lord we would make a commitment to be warriors for your kingdom and so father god remake a commitment to go into jerusalem jesus name amen door churches our vision is loving god loving people loving life now that's the vision for a church to love god to love people love life let me tell you something that if you love god and love people you will love life you know why some people don't love they don't love god or they don't love people if you love god you don't love people you won't love life let me tell you something else when you love life you will love people you will love god it goes both ways and out of it if you have a love and a passion for god god i just love you with all my heart thank you jesus so you've done so much for me lord i just love you lord what can i do for you that's what happens when you have true love love her lord what can i do you love me how can i love you you know god is going to answer love people that's what he's going to say he's going to say love me because you already love him anybody know the greatest commandment love the lord thy god with all your heart soul mind and the nd greatest commandment is what love others as yourself so loving god leads to loving people let me tell you if you love god or i love you so much what can i do he says i want you to love this person over here i want you to love this person over
