1st Thessalonians chapter number 2 and verse number 4 it says But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel even so we speak not as pleasing men But God which trieth our hearts for neither at any time use we flattering words as he know nor a cloak of what? Covetousness God is witness nor men sought We glory neither of you nor yet of others when we might have been burdensome as the apostles of crises is look I'm not trying to like come here and speak smooth words to you so you can put money in the bank That's not my motive. I want you to grow in the knowledge of God Okay, and someone who is not covetous is gonna tell you exactly what the Bible says Regardless of what happened. We've had our church is not even a year old. We've had people walk out of the church The services because they got offended at something that I said, you know, we've had people just leave the church I've had people text me and say or call me right before church on Sunday morning and say hey, we're not coming back You know because my wife got offended at this or something, you know or whatever and it's just like dude leave your wife You know who's running the home You know my wife ever gets offended obviously, you know Sorry, you know, but if I was at a church my wife got offended, you know, she's not gonna be like we're not going back I'm gonna be like No, we are suck it up You know what? I mean if the bad if it was right with the pastor said We need to keep going back You know, we're not going there just so we can hear peace peace When there is no peace Okay, but we've had people walk out. I remember one time when I was preaching a sermon on the sodomites You know someone just stood up and just walked out And I didn't even know that they got offended I thought they were just taking a phone call or something later on and he was a visitor But later on the person the guy who invited him said yeah, he got offended at that I went to go talk. He was out. He literally waited outside Until the service was done. I say hey, thanks for coming. He's all I Don't want to talk about it. He's like, I don't agree with you I was like, yeah, well, you know take the verses that I that I used in the sermon and look him over You know, I mean, I think it was pretty clear and look it wasn't even the hottest part of the sermon I was like revving up, but I wasn't even there. It wasn't even on fourth gear. I Think I had it on neutral for a little bit. I Think I said like fag or something like that. I don't know what it was. They got up and walked out you know, but you know that's gonna happen and Pastors that don't have to be necessarily a goal to have people walk out But if they do, you know, don't let that be a discouragement to say oh, you know Maybe I shouldn't say fag so much, you know, because people are just gonna keep walking out if I say fact Well, you know what the people who walk out when you say fag probably need to walk out Okay, if you can't handle it then get out of the kitchen Maybe you need to go home and read your Bible and pray a little more To get some guts and get some stones and some backbone to hear that kind of preaching Right and look church is not just for everyone. It's for the believers Okay, and if you can't handle that type of preaching then go listen to Joel sting Okay. Oh, yeah. Well, he's a he's a compromiser, but you fit in great with him If you can't take that kind of preaching You know and I grew up spiritually Hearing people say yeah, you're gonna turn people away and you can't preach like that You can't be hard on people like that. But you know what? That's contrary to what the Word of God teaches Rebuke and reprove but it says exhort too, but it says we're bukin reprove first There's two negatives and a positive
