following program is sponsored by seattle open door church yet all open door church he's committed to loving god loving people and loving why our doors are open to whomever no mass required seattle open door church so in the movie the bank character is mill gibson he is the key actor in the movie he is known as the braveheart he portrays a character that is real and that character is william wallace william wallace was the man that god and i believe god god raised up william wallace to be the man that be the impetus to have freedom for the nation of scotland so scotland is under the rule of britain and they were under the ru britain was a very evil empire and robert what i want to say rubber balls my pastor's name robert wallace they had before william wallace phil call to the nation of scotland to experience freedom from the british so that's the concept of who he was in the movie shows his acts and deeds in the wars they went through all that took place and to show what took place for scotland to be free how many no for there to be freedom n n a contrary life there's got to be some death if you're going to see a country be free there's probably going to be a war that goes on for that nation to be able to find freedom and if there's a war whether  death how many know that if you're going to have freedom in your life there's got to be some dying there's they've got to be some things that got to disappear out of your life so you to be able to walk in freedom and  powerful this is a quote from him he said every man dies does not every man really lives every man dies not every man really lives is every one of us going to die of some point in time in our life not everybody that is living on this earth that's alive and what i mean by that there are people who are alive but they live such a life that you wonder if they're living or not they're living a mediocre life t a life where where you look at say do you say when you see somebody sees you when you're living a life you're in his or when somebody sees you do they say i want the life that you have or do they say i sure hope i got more in me than you got is a pair for statement every christian should be living a life in such a way that people says i want what you have i want how you live i want how you act i want out how there's an energy in you to live but how should we live that we don't even have to even speak concern about the issue of sen we're live in a victorious overcoming life and galatians three twenty eight states i have been crucified with christ and i no longer live but christ lives within me i've been crucified with christ i but christ lives that then me every christian should be at a place where they say i'm on god to live within me that he's living in me now me just live in myself the bible says that if you accept jesus christ in your life you're born again the as a christian we should be living our life in such a way that christ lives within us in a powerful and a mighty way and there is a role a difference of how we live now as a christian that before we accepted jesus and to our life will ou live in control us we realize that jesus is the reason for living so why are you living a living to get a car to get a house to get a wife to get a husband are you living so that you can what you can have some material i'm talking a dying where you're willing to suffer for the sake of others you want to go through some things for others is anybody going through anything anybody going through a trial a tribulation a struggle you how many know there are some people on this earth that are characters anybody know that there's a people the character i talk about that later on so what to say that big crucify the christ and all other live but christ lives within me life begins once with life begins once jesus becomes the reason you live i would argue until you give your all to something you're not really living this is life i could pay for me life begins with jesus budgies becomes a reason you live it w i accepted christ all of a sudden life had meaning greater purpose now listed this lives this state and we ought to be living as if jesus died yesterday we ought to be living as jesus died yesterday what does that mean that jesus death is real to us as the us of the two thousand years ago is real to us today that jesus death is real to us today we ought to be living as of jesus died yesterday that he rose this morning not two thousand years ago that he rose this morning and he's coming back this afternoon what if we live that way what if we live as if you know what jesus rose from the power of jesus resurrection was real to us the people when jesus rose from the grave you don't think they were shocked you would think they were and all it changed who they were is people when we understand that jesus rose from the grave and gave us victory over sin issue changes as a people and what's the change going to be it says here and live as if he's coming back this afternoon what if we lived as if jesus was coming back this afternoon i can tell you i've forgiven you in jesus name there's nothing simple about watching the super bowl but when we get excited about the super bowl when jesus comes back is going to be a lot more exciting than the super bowl but some of us if we don't start living life we're not going to want to seem to come back it's funny to be said people are sometimes attacks people say i sure hope jesus doesn't come back any time soon why would people say that because i know they're not living right for god and they want a little bit more time but i know that time could go away in a moment's time so we should live for god all right are you sold out are you sold out there was a person that was sold out william wallace was sold out if you saw the movie he was sold out for the kingdom the key to me was sold out for is for scotland to get freedom from britain he was sold out to it if you live as if jesus died yesterday rose this money is come back t afternoon you know a lot just start being sold out you start being a person have sold out for god sort of christian you're sold out for the king of your sort of for the kingdom of god you sold out for soldiers sort of for the last over something any you that when you start to understand who christ is and him living within you any rules in range of the sum then the end you that want to live differently and you'll be sought out for the kingdom and so we're going to talk about a some people that were sold out their heroes of faith people that were sought out for the kingdom and as these years of faith we look at their life they were brave hearts in their time their brave hearts the question i ask you is are your brave heart and your time are you a brave heart or are you a traitor to the kingdom you're not living for god you're a traitor to the kingdom are you a brave heart now does everybody have to be on the front lines no you can't have everybody in the front lines is the people that are in the front lines but are you in the war are you fighting for the kingdom so here's a face we'll look at some heroes of faith how many know that just of the story of joseph and we know the story of joseph so joseph was a young man an add some brother so come over here you can be one of his brother or you are brothers oh isn't that interesting so out of the ed is there was joseph and he had a bunch of brothers supporting there's a lot of brothers if you know the story just of a special in the eyes of his father and joe also of was given a multi colored coat and it was to say that he was special in the brothers got jealous of him and anybody know what happened he became a slave so come come over here are you over here ok so we have a few slaves to come over here there's a few slaves that there's a few slaves in there also was he was sold into slavery so here's some slaves they're all here and these rich young ladies ok not quite what the bible says but that's ok there are some ritual ladies becoming rich young ladies so all the rich ladies come along and they turn around and says we want to buy us a slave so the bible was that then people were bought as slaves so they all decided they want to joseph as a slave so c'mere joseph of they all tell kim and then i want you to take came back to egypt so you all take him take him brought over to egypt take him into slavery the rest of you can go back to your seat so they took him into slavery so i give you girls permission to do it if you want to do with him now they'll know you be nice t ok when he was sold into slavery he paid a big price to nate he became a slave and then if you know the story he rose up and he had favor and  accusations were made against him and he went back to being in the prison the brothers know that he has something that special about him they get jealous they put him in to put him into a pit he sold into slavery he goes to egypt and then he rises up to be was the prime minister of egypt other than the feral he's in charge and out of bed he becomes in charge god gives him favor god gives the wisdom and he says you know of famines coming in the land so we need to save as much food as be possibly can we need to store as much food we can because there's going to be a time of famine and people are going to starve but egypt will not starve but every  starve if everybody else is going to starve die of the famine what does that mean is going to happen to the nation of israel they're going to die they're going to starve but what happens god and is the vine providence  brain this isn't guys the by providence since a bring in joseph brothers to egypt and the next thing you know is he realizes his brothers and he gives them favor and also be the whole nation of israel goes into egypt in their taking care during the time of famine so just as not only the prime minister of egypt he rescues his family a nation from starvation would you call him a hero would he have to go through he had to go through prison mocked by his brothers hated by his brothers getting false accusations all those things do you want to be a hero and what he would have to do to be a hero but you think maybe some stuff i have to happen ok this look at another hero esther i want you to listen so  everybody anybody ever felt like an al caste that you don't belong that's cut is how an orphan can fill so she's an orphan and she has a is a man of god you can tell that he's a man of god looks you see he's a man of god you can tell that he's a man of god best representation there is a man of god right there the light man of god he is her her uncle and in the midst of their relationships and they start to happen and then the next thing you know all out of nowhere esther becomes what the queen of persia and you know what the queen of persia gets  up to be a queen why you know why because there are some enemies of israel in the next you know there's a decree made for all of israel to be destroyed to be killed astor does something she goes to the king and shows up to the king if you know the culture and this is the persian culture this is not this is not israel this is a pagan country she goes to the king and she's going to plead on behalf of the nation of israel so she goes to the king in project could the queen go to the king anytime she wanted no she only could see the king when she was given permission when she would to the king to give her permission trick question yes but at first did he know did she go to get permission no but she it could she comes in it is all king hey by the way i need to talk to you trick you to have the nation of israel killed and destroyed she tells the king who it is the king has them kill him and he's on and then she says a king can i ask you a favor you're decreasing as that  the enemies of israel can fight against them and you can't change your decrease because once the king says something's going to happen going to happen so she says i know you can't change it but what you give israel time to fight back and what happened background coming from the wrong bloodline was she from the rambler line she was an outcast she is part of the nation of israel some of you because of your bloodline because your heritage are looked at as an outcast she turns around she obviously she's an office she's a lost one parent had lose two of them because of find out that there is not no mention of the parents whatsoever there's relatives taking care of her she turns around and is going to do something that she could potentially face death what would that feel like what would it feel like you are in a situation where you know that if you do something you may be killed for doing it but it's the right thing to do she heroes do the right thing let me give you an example you know the hero is going to be real honest a hero is when you have a laast relative and you still share jesus with them knowing they may disown you i'm going to get really bold let me tell you something if you have some family members that are coming to church you know what you do if you're in esther you go and you talk and you say hey can your kids of the souls of my grandkids my nieces my nephews whoever they may be for the sake of my life my son my daughter i'm willing to be an outcast to say kate can you calm let me tell you some story some stories this i just was that event and somebody for twenty years every sunday he invited their spouse to church every single sunday and every single sunday the spouse said no but what happened why do you think i know the story what you think happened they end up coming in what you think happened when they finally came they got born again they got saved are you willing to do it for twenty years no no no no no no no you don't have as most of us five top five knows what we do to get it move on i don't want to bad them now you got to use wisdom every time they say no they take knife say no maybe not for twenty years should you do that for me for twenty years you should and they realize the knife doesn't stop you from vitamin the show up the whole point is is an asteroid was willing to face be to be destroyed for the sake of a nation are you willing to be quote destroyed for the sake of a soul are you willing to be ridiculed or you have to be on the job and when somebody is talkin and they say they're really hurting and they're really discouraged and they don't other than make it through the day are you willing to pull them aside and say hey you know i've been there can we talk for a few minutes and even do it if you know that your boss may terminate you would you do it would you be willing to be terminated if you could have somebody from not doing suicide would you or would you be more worried about your job that's something to think about isn't it so out of it there has to be a place if you decide to be of that brave heart ok and god knew exactly day he went through and god knew how he was going to die and god knows how every one of us are going to die and god knows what our legacy will be if it will be good or if you will be bad god knows everything in as a young boy he saw them hung from a shed killed it affected his life the rest of his life he tossed father killed for fighting for freedom because i don't like all the blood and gore but guess what the only way they got freedom is what by the blood guess what you know the good news is we can win the victory through the blood of jesus christ through prayer stand in the gap so as they close i'm asking you who wants to come to this altar say you know what i want to be a warrior i want to be a fighter i talk with their man there's not everybody's in the front line some some people are leaders or some are followers don't matter if you're a leader or a follower if you're following the leader guess what you're part of the battle you're part of the victory so as i close i have a question for you are you called to do something more than what you've done is so i want you to come to this altar if you call to go to the next level and somewhere of your life you need to come to this altar they've got to speak into you and say i called you for a purpose and enough until that purpose you need to come to this alt maybe a card to be a prayer warrior you haven't been praying maybe you're that got that gift of a vandalism you know done maybe you're a good person that can turn around to say are you km arc it how about start sharing jesus instead maybe in this room there's somebody that got to give you the gift of healing and you know it but you will walk in it because you're you're free to do that you should be coming up front
