ARC all access: Ed Young, JR

Notes taken from ARC's All Access Conference at C3 Church, April 27-29
 
ED YOUNG

- greatest thing in the world is the local church.
- the church is BRUTIFUL --- combination of Brutal and Beautiful
 
BETRAYAL
 
- strange thing my enemies can't betray me. only those I allow in.
- there are 3 categories of people dealing with betrayal: (1) those getting ready to go through betrayal, (2) those in betrayal, and (3) coming out of betrayal.
 
1. Betrayal occurs during crucial situations.
 
- Genesis 37:3 talks about Joseph
- Joseph was the favorite son of his father, Jacob, and he shared his dreams with his brothers way too early.
 
2. Betrayal comes from those closet to you.
 
- 3 types of people in ministry: (1) those who are with you, (2) those are for you which are just fans, and (3) those who will use you.
 
3. Betrayal is fueled by envy and jealousy.
 
- these people are close enough to you to kiss you but diss you.
- Genesis 37:4
- NOTE: they always have something to say.  If THEY are the right THEY, have them with you.  Not the wrong ones.
- How do you react when someone else is blessed?
- When pride walks on the stage, God walks off the stage.
- Genesis 37:18-19
- The bigger the dream. The bigger the betrayal.
- Envy will eat you up.
- NOTE: envy is the only one of the deadly sins that doesn;t begin with a promise.
- Genesis 37:23-24 Joseph goes into the 1st pit
 
4. Betrayal can lead to breakdown or breakout.
 
- 2 types of people in the pit: (1) adders and (2) ladders.  Adders are those snacks that bite and spew their venom.  Ladders are those people who help you out and have your back.
- look up while you are in the pit.  You will see some light.
- While you are in the pit, ask WHAT NOW and not WHY THIS?
- Another pit came as Joseph ran from Potifer's wife.
- Joseph was loyal to Potifer for 10 years.
- get under the authority that god puts in your life and God will lift you up.
- When someone betrays you it is followed by lies.
- Loyalty leads to prosperity and opportunity and on to character.
- Genesis 50:20 what you meant for evil, God used for good.
- If we haven't been betrayed, we wouldn't be where we are today.
 
What do we learn from our betrayal (Ed Young speaking of a personal situation in his ministry):
(1) it brought our staff closer together
(2) seperates the players from the posers
(3) strengthed because we have Biblical church structure
 
- Betrayal happens in the ministry and it hurts the heart.
- It will solidify your church and help you to a HNL ... hole nother level!

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
