Summary
The Lies in Our Culture (II Timothy 4:1-5): False teaching and myths aren't hard to find and people seem to buy into them more than ever before. We have to be sober-minded so that we can help point people back to the truth.

| 0:00.0 | Happy Labor Day weekend. You guys are the faithful. You're not the slackers who got one last |
| 0:06.5 | vacation in. Really glad that you're here with us today. A couple quick items this morning. |
| 0:12.3 | Number one, we got a problem around here. And this is a great problem to have. If you've been here |
| 0:15.9 | the past few weeks, you may have noticed and felt the squeeze. We have run out of space across multiple campuses, |
| 0:22.7 | multiple service times. And so what we are doing is we are adding on September the 21st. |
| 0:29.2 | We're going to be adding Sunday evening services at Richmond, Georgetown, and here at the |
| 0:33.9 | Nicholasville location. Those are going to be 5 p.m. on Sunday night. |
| 0:38.8 | And so this is a great problem to have. |
| 0:41.2 | We would ask those of you who have been attending on Sunday mornings, |
| 0:44.4 | we have these ideal service times that really split very evenly. |
| 0:47.5 | Some of you would love to vacate. |
| 0:49.4 | I know that you would and go to the Sunday evening service to free up what we |
| 0:53.7 | refer to as open seats at optimal |
| 0:55.7 | times. That would be a great way that you could serve our church. Another way that you could |
| 0:58.9 | serve our churches by actually serving during those services. And this is a great opportunity |
| 1:03.8 | for those who've been unable to attend on Sunday mornings like the entire wait staff at first |
| 1:09.0 | watch across four counties, no matter which one I go and they yell at me every time I'm in there that we don't have services on Sunday night. And so I expect to see all y'all there on Sunday night at 5 o'clock. We're going to be doing some unique things at these services. We're going to have food following the service at all those locations. And so great opportunity for you to hang out and get to know each other and also eat some food on a Sunday evening. If you don't want to have to do a Sunday night meal before you get the kids back to school the next day, that kind of thing. Also, those of us who preach on Sundays, we're going to preach live at those locations. We're going to rotate around to those locations. So we'll be at all of those. And then when I preach at those locations. We're going to be doing some Q&A time following the service during the food time where people will be able to ask me questions and things like that. So it's going to be all kinds of fun. So September 21st, 5 o'clock, Sunday evening services start. The other is this. Just make sure you're at all worship Wednesday, first Wednesday worship. Make sure that you are there |
| 2:01.5 | this Wednesday. It's going to be awesome. All right. So how about we go to God and thank him for all the good problems we have around here, all right? So let's pray. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Father, thank you. Thank you for who you are and what you've done. Thank you that you and trust us with more and more people to proclaim the name of your son Jesus. That's who we are about. That's what we want to be about. And that's all we |
| 2:20.4 | want to be about. That's |
| 2:18.7 | what we want to be about. And that's all we want to be about. And so thank you for how you continue to draw people to yourself through this place that we care so deeply about. We love you. And it's in Jesus' name of pray. Amen. All right. So you guys know me really well. And you know, and we've talked about and laughed about the fact that I am a rather disagreeable person. Like when I take personality |
| 2:37.8 | profile, All right. So you guys know me really well and you know, and we've talked about and laughed about the fact that I am a rather disagreeable person. Like when I take personality profile tests, they always say like, hey, in a room of 100 people, there were likely only be one more person, more disagreeable than you. And I'm always looking for who that person is so that we can have an argument and that kind of thing. And so the good news is I don't share with you guys most of my unpopular opinions. My family and friends can attest to that. Like I got all kinds of stuff. I don't even tell you guys about, but today I'm going to venture into some dangerous territory. All right? I'm going to share with you one of my unpopular opinions. Some of you are not going to care about this at all. It's not going to |
| 3:07.6 | make any difference to you. And some of you are going to be absolutely blown away. But here it is. Okay. I believe that Muhammad Ali was very overrated. Okay. Now, I know he's from Louisville, which is kind of like being from Kentucky, sort of kind of. Okay. I know that we got, I know that we got like museums to him and all that kind of thing. And I can have this argument with you for as long |
