The Influence Decision: Serving Others with Purpose 0:00 Today, I wanna talk to you about the fifth decision and that is the influence decision. The influence. How God calls us to use our gifts,0:12 our talents, and our abilities to serve other people. Those of you that like Christmas movies, I I like Christmas movies but 1 of the ones that's interesting is a0:24 Christmas Carol. And of course, the famous character in there is Ebenezer Scrooge. And there's been jokes literally for, like, decades now about this guy's life. Right? And of course,0:36 literally year after year after year after year, and of course, there's things written in books and all that. And the reality is this character is somebody watches during the Christmas season, which should be giving.0:47 He's actually hoarding. He's stingy. He's a miser. He's a scrooge. Until 1 day, 1 day, his heart his0:59 outlook changes, his heart changes, and his life changes. Because he realized that what he had is actually not just for himself. It's really it's really to be used for others.1:11 What would happen to all of us? What would happen to every marriage? What would happen to your marriage if you realize that you woke up each day? Watch this. I mean, this is a a true hypothetical.1:23 And if each spouse tried to out serve 1 another Now let me do this for you. How many I remember when you're dating? Come on, raise your hand those of you married. None of y'all are married? Okay. Single church. How many1:34 I remember before you were married when you're dating, when you're trying to win the person? Let me open the court door for you. Let me open the door for you. No. Let me do this for you. Look, I mean, Jennifer and I, we1:44 dated 30 years ago. Let me tell you, that's before cell phones were cool. I mean, they had briefcase cell phones, but this is back when they had cords in the wall. Come on, how many I remember cords in the wall? Alright.1:55 Now listen, listen. Do you remember how long you would talk? I love you. Okay. Just amazing. You get married. Then it's like, you know, let me get that for2:07 you after you get married. You get it yourself, not me. That's what you all say. But anyway, what would happen in a business if the business owners and watches2:19 and the employees thought, we're gonna wake up each day and we're gonna out serve 1 another. We're gonna serve the employees, we're gonna serve our customers. In other words, there is a principle in God's word, the2:29 influence decision. It transforms relationships, it transforms churches, it transforms communities. Yes, I believe it can transform ultimately the world2:41 if every day we wake up and we make the decision to serve other people. There's a great lady in our church. Her name is Anne Ollendyke. And Anne was,2:54 she has a special needs daughter named Juliana. Juliana is about 30 years old, so she grew up. And those of you with any special needs children, it's it is a man, it's a lot of energy and hospital3:06 visitations, and man, there's just a lot of pain that goes through particularly those early years. You're trying to figure out what's going on and I've talked to so many people in our church. It's3:18 very painful. So grateful for God's grace and God's people coming alongside and family members. And and there's many times where she literally said, I found myself at the hospital room by3:30 myself. It was painful. And as the years went on, she realized watch this. She realized what her need was. And her need was often practical things3:42 like things that she needed for the hospital room when they would have visits, things for her daughter, and things for her. And so watch this. Out of her pain, everybody say pain. Pain is interesting. You3:54 can either get hardened in life through pain or you can see pain as an opportunity to build a platform where you can be merciful and gracious to others. Pain can harden or pain can,4:05 watch this, be used to help people. She started a ministry called Baskets of Hope, and what she did was out of her pain she realized I'm I'm4:17 gonna do for others which I wish was done for me. Friday, we had the opportunity, to partner with her. She had a big thing for the Super Bowl, and they're they did4:28 750 baskets of hope. I think we have a picture and a bunch of ladies in the church. My wife was there with a bunch of ladies, and so we're so excited. I think she had like 200 volunteers, but watch this. This is4:40 powerful. She made a decision. Everybody say decision. Decision. Every day you and I can make the decision.4:52 What? To use our gifts, our talents, and our abilities. By the way, even the hurts and the pains in our life, even the trials that we've gone through, the things that are good, the things that have been challenging, we5:02 can take all of that and we can use our experiences, We can use our energy as a platform to serve and help other people. By the way, that's when life gets fun. You you know when life is really miserable? When5:14 you put all of your energy into protecting yourself. I gotta protect myself. I gotta draw I got I can't let anybody see what I real who I am. I gotta protect what I have. No. No. No. Light it's not to suggest we don't5:25 have boundaries, but we've gotta be open to see that God has blessed you for a purpose with your time and your energy. Everybody say influence.5:36 The definition that I gave for influence is utilizing your gifts and your talents and your abilities, leveraging those to serve others for Christ. There is a discussion in our culture5:48 today. And the discussion in our culture today is what defines greatness. You guys have heard this, right? Whether it's in the sports world, the business world, it's like, man, what what makes somebody great? And6:00 oftentimes we we misunderstand, we confuse fame with greatness. But they're great. No. They're just famous. Doesn't mean they're great. What is greatness? So the6:11 definition of what makes somebody great, what what ascribes gravitas to somebody's life where they're great, according to the bible, it's a little bit different than our culture.6:24 Matter of fact, 1 day, James and John who were brothers, they were talking to Jesus. And they're like, Jesus, you're powerful. And like, we know that proximity to power is power6:36 itself. We wanna be close to you. Matter of fact, in your glory, can you guarantee us that like we're gonna be on the right hand and the left hand? Because we want everybody to see that we're associated6:48 with power. Jesus began to do a little lesson on greatness. Mark chapter 10 verse 20, 37. Here's what he said. They7:00 said, grant us that we may sit 1 in your right hand and the other on your left in your glory. James and John saw power like the world does. Success to them was about7:12 titles, prestige, success, power. Jesus unpacks that. The Christian kingdom, the kingdom of God is it's antithetical to how culture7:24 in other words, the way to have is to give, the way up is down. Things are often turned upside down, or should I say right side. Up. Jesus unpacks it. He says in7:36 verse 43, but whoever desires to become great. Pastor, is it a sin to desire to become great? Depends on how you define the target. Well known, famous, rich, powerful?7:48 Is that great according to the bible? Or somebody who's influential and how they've leveraged who they are to help humanity. That's a different story. The target, it's not bad to want to be great, but what is your7:59 motive? What is your strategy? How do you get there? Jesus defines both greatness and the terms related to strategy of how to attain it. Here's what he said. He says, but8:11 whoever desires to become great everyone say great. Oh, here it is. Here it is. Here's the definition. Pastor, I wanna be great. Alright. Here's the definition. Here's the plumb line. Here's how to evaluate your8:22 aspirations, your how how you define greatness is locked up in the scripture right here. We're about to unlock it. But whoever desires to be great among you8:36 shall be your servant. Well, that's not cool. That's not, like, Instagram followers. A servant?8:48 I I thought a person of influences wait. Whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant, and whoever desires to be first shall be the servant or slave of all. Oh.9:00 Jesus called flip the script. Everybody say flip the script. He flipped the script. I I I I thought it was different than that. Then in verse9:11 45, for even the son of man did not come to be served. Let me pause there for a moment. Wait a minute, pastor. This is confusing. I thought the goal was to serve the Lord. I wanna serve the Lord. Yeah. You9:23 should serve the Lord. But guess what? You don't serve the Lord first. He serves you. In other words, the Christian life is a response to his initiation. He died on the cross for9:35 us. He shed his blood for us. Now out of a response, out of our gratitude, we serve the Lord. We don't just generate our service to him first, he actually died for us in our place where we should have9:47 died. How many are grateful that Jesus died in our place on the cross? He died for us. So in other words, don't miss this. Don't miss this. He served us first. We9:59 respond. Man, I wish people would serve me. Wish I had some people that would serve me, take care of me. Oh, I think your target's off. You be what you want.10:12 You want friends? Be a friend. I wish my wife would serve me. Oh. Always get real close to home. Come on somebody. Oh. So it10:24 starts with me sowing. Me serving. Son of man did The son of man did not come first to be served,10:38 to do something great with my life. Nothing wrong with that. You should. That's a that's a noble aspiration. But the strategy of attainment is, watch this, it's through the towel of servanthood.10:50 It's not titles. It's through a towel washing feet. Wow. Jesus is talking to James and John, and he defines for them the target and the strategy. Now I11:02 know when you start talking about servanthood and servant leadership, some people freak out because, oh, I'm not a leader pastor. I don't do the leadership thing. Y'all talk about leader. I I don't see myself that No.11:13 No. No. I'm not talking about Take out the word leader. Just think of your word yourself as a servant. To be a servant leader just means that you're just out in front serving. That's it. And you're11:25 modeling that. And you're and you're there's a ripple effect. Can you imagine can you imagine? This message is so transformational. It changes a marriage, it changes a family. Can you imagine if the kids woke11:37 up? I can't wait to help out around the house. Hallelujah the second coming of Jesus. So this is for the11:48 teenagers, college kids, if you're at home. In other words, this this is transformational in a church. It's transformational in a business. If the employee said, we're gonna serve the boss, serve our customers, serve our11:58 clients, and the boss said, we're gonna serve our employees, serve our in other words, it it is transformational. Energy held back and protective siphons out12:10 energy. Energy given creates and multiplies. When you when you give it away, oh man, I know it doesn't make sense, but it's how the bible works. Yeah.12:22 A servant leader uses their God given gifts, talents, and abilities to serve others and influence them for Christ. I I like to use in the bible I like to use, biblical characters to illustrate biblical truth and12:34 principles. I just think it helps to flesh it out at times, whether it's Noah or, you know, Abraham or Isaac or somebody or Paul, Peter, Mary, you know, woman of faith beat unto me. I and so I12:46 was thinking, whose life typifies, demonstrates, exemplifies, whatever word you wanna use, the true heart of servant leadership? In other words, somebody who realizes my12:58 whole life is to serve to make a difference in the lives of others. And I thought about Jonathan in the Old Testament. Jonathan13:09 was the son of the first king of Israel, Saul. Matter of fact, he was the rightful heir to the throne. And he realized something. Matter of fact, if Jonathan was here today,13:22 Jonathan would have a message for you and for me. Here's what Jonathan's message would be. I wrote down Jonathan's message. Okay? These are my words of what I believe Jonathan would say to13:33 week 5 at Church of the King. Here it is. You guys ready? Here's what Jonathan would say. When you wanna make a great impact with your life, help someone else fulfill their potential.13:46 Wait a minute. Wait a minute. I thought it was about me. No. It's actually about you helping another person. Jonathan had some decisions to make, but because he was a big13:58 picture person, His whole strategy was cross grain to the current societal trend. Is is your life cross grain to the current14:10 societal trend? Because Jonathan, similar to today, he he saw that winning at all cost was the rule of the day. Jonathan saw that his winning didn't have to mean14:22 somebody else's losing. Jonathan realized something that very few people did. He realized the influence decision was a daily choice, watch this, to actually help somebody else win in14:34 life. And he realized something. He realized that that God actually shines down and blesses the life of a bible influencer.14:46 If you have your scripture, if you have your bible, first Samuel chapter 18 verse 1. I want to read this to you. I love this story. Matter of fact, Jonathan did something that well, that his dad14:59 that David's dad and David's brothers didn't do. He lifted Liz. The story in first Samuel chapter 18 is about Jonathan and David. The bible says, now when he had finished speaking to Saul this is right15:11 after David, King David kills Goliath. Now when he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David. And Jonathan loved him as his own soul.15:23 And Saul took him that day and would not let him go home to his father's house anymore. Then Jonathan and David made a covenant because he loved him as his own soul. And Jonathan took off the robe that was on him and15:33 gave it to David with his armor, even his sword, and his bow, and his belt.15:48 First person in David's life, watch this, that actually believed in him. You guys remember the story when when Samuel the prophet came down and talked to Jesse, and he wanted to anoint a young15:59 king of Israel. And Jesse, David's dad, lined up all of David's brothers. This happens in the bible. He lines up all of his brothers, and Samuel looks at him and goes, okay. That's16:11 not the 1. That's not the 1. That's not the 1. That's not the 1. That's not the 1. That's not and he looks at the prophet looks at Jesse and says, is there anybody else? Jesse says,16:24 I do have 1 other boy, but he's out tending the sheep. His own dad didn't see his potential. Maybe that's where you are. That's painful by the way. But thank16:36 God God provides where we didn't have. How about King Saul? King Saul didn't see the hand of God on David at the level that he needed to. He didn't see it. How about his16:48 brothers? You remember when David wanted to go down and kill Goliath? Remember he's a his brother's like, shut up. You're just a little snot nosed kid. You be quiet. So his dad didn't believe in him. His brothers didn't16:58 believe in him. And Saul didn't believe, but Jonathan. Everybody say but Jonathan. By the way, you don't need a whole bunch of people to believe in you. You can actually if you've got 1, it only takes 1 person.17:10 It only takes 1. It only takes 1. That's why I have a word to single parents. If you believe in that kid, even if the other parent's not around, it just takes 1. Two's great, but if if you if17:22 you have 1 person, psychologists will tell you, it can transform your belief in yourself if 1 person will believe in you. How many are grateful for the power of belief that God puts17:34 people in our life like that? Jonathan is He's he is so critical to David's success. Jonathan was the rightful throne. Think about that.17:46 You have king Saul, guess who should have been next? King Jonathan. Should have been king Jonathan. But you know what Jonathan did? He saw the potential in David's life. He said, you know what?17:58 I'm gonna do this by the way, this freaked his dad out.18:11 Jonathan's perspective was different than most. Maybe your perspective is a little bit self focused. I say that respectfully. Maybe it's a little biased, a little bit small. You can't18:23 see the bigger picture in somebody's life. Maybe it's a person that works with you. Maybe it's, somebody very close to you. And and you don't realize that you God has actually put them in18:35 your life so you can serve them and you can help them so that they can achieve. God's hand was upon Jonathan's life for a unique purpose. Let me give you 318:47 things that a servant leader does. Number 1, a servant leader sees others from God's perspective. Saul didn't see David correctly. Jesse didn't see David correctly.18:59 David's brothers didn't see David correctly. There was 1 person who did, his name was Jonathan. First Samuel chapter 20 verse 30, Jonathan starts helping David, he starts coming and encouraging David and here comes Saul.19:11 Saul finds out that his son is trying to help somebody else get the job that really rightfully belong to him. And Saul comes into that. Listen to what Saul said. This is a great greeting towards your son,19:23 you son of a perverse rebellious woman. Hi, dad. Pretty strong language, isn't it? Sheesh. This guy needed an anger management19:35 class. Alright. Here we go. Do I not know what you have chose that you've chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame and to the shame of your mother's nakedness? For as long as the son of Jesse lives on the earth,19:47 you shall not be established. What are you doing? Nor your kingdom. Now, therefore, ascend and bring into me, for he shall surely die. The reality is19:59 is that Jonathan never bought into his dad's opinion of David. By the way, being very careful of buying in to somebody else's opinion of somebody if it's not God's opinion.20:11 Be very careful buying into somebody else's opinion of somebody else. You don't have to agree. Agree with what God says about God's opinion of somebody's life is much better than watches20:23 than some other negative person's opinion about them. He said, I'm not gonna agree. No. No. God's hands upon ever say God's hand. He saw God's hand upon that boy. Said, no, dad. I'm not I'm not agreeing with that.20:33 Question is, who do you see that God sees that has potential that God's called you to help? You have to see it. If you'll see it, then you'll20:45 do it. But you first have to see it. Maybe you got somebody at work, it's like they were super talented. It's like, man, this guy's real talented and this lady's real talented. And at first, it was kinda cool cause20:56 you're like the manager, and you're gonna help them grow and mature and and develop, but you never thought that you never realized they were that good. And now their success kind of breeds an insecurity in you. It's21:05 like, woah, woah. I didn't want you to succeed that much. Time out. No. I don't want you to be that good. Make me feel bad. Does somebody else's success make you feel21:17 insecure? We've all been there at times. Years ago, I our youth pastor who's incredible, Jason Robinson, he's just he's 1 of the best preachers I think in the world. And21:29 and for years, he'd preach in the summertime, you know. In June, I'd miss some weeks and he'd preach a couple weeks and I'd be on vacation. And and so people would come back and and they would say to me and say, oh,21:40 pastor Jason preached this weekend. He was good. I'm like, that's awesome. Oh, no. No. No, pastor.21:52 He was like, real good. Okay. Let me interpret that. Okay? He's better than you. Okay. Let me help everybody. Isn't that the22:04 goal? If I'm a spiritual dad to him, shouldn't a spiritual son be better than the spiritual dad? Are y'all with me? Isn't that the goal? Now22:16 I could beat him bad in golf, but come on, how many you know what I'm talking? Here's the point. And he pastored 1 of the greatest church in America, South Stone Church in Katy, Texas and it's watch him, he's amazing.22:27 The goal is not the goal is those around do you see everybody say see. Can you see the potential? If you can't see it, you won't help somebody. Or if you see from the wrong perspective.22:39 Jonathan saw David, watch this, the way God saw David. Do you see people the way God sees people or do you see people through your own insecurities and your own hurts? We all struggle with that at times. That's why we22:50 need our windshield wipers, Holy Spirit windshield wipers to clear up our vision. Number 1, servant leaders see. Everybody say see. We have eyes to see. Lord, show me my wife. Ladies, show23:02 you you you need to pray. Lord, show me if you're married. Show me my husband. Hey. Hey. All of us. Show us your kids. Man, there's so often we wanna see our kids through our lens and not God's lens, particularly23:14 when they're acting up. My mom told me that 1 time, I pray that God either saves you or kills you. She needed to see me differently. Truth is she saw God's potential in my23:26 life. I thank God for my mom. She prayed for me. How many are grateful for praying moms? Come on. Praying mom. By the way, by the way, I've got a word for a mom or a daddy in here. Don't give up praying23:38 for your kids. Don't give up. Don't Everybody say don't give up. I don't care if they're 20, 30, 40, or 50. The prayers of the righteous person avail much. I thank God for my23:50 prayers. Number 2, servant leaders do what's right. They not only see from God's perspective, but they do what's right from God's perspective. First Samuel chapter 23 verse 14.24:01 Bible says, and David stayed in strongholds in the wilderness and remain in the mountains in the wilderness of Ziph. Saul sought him every day, but God did not deliver him into his hand. So David saw24:13 that Saul had come out to seek his life. A forest. And then Jonathan, Saul's son, arose and went into David, to the woods, and strengthened his hand in24:25 God. This was risky. He not only saw potential, but he was willing to roll up his sleeves and do what he needed to do to help him. Are you willing to do what24:37 you need to do and what you can do to lift that employee, to lift that kid, to lift your spouse, to lift that person in your church, to lift the24:49 person in your community. In other words, it takes effort. You have to see it, but then you've got to do something about it. It's 1 thing just to see and and and and just see it but but then you gotta do something.25:02 The Bible says and he said, do not So then he goes to So the Bible says, look look at verse 16. Then Jonathan, Saul's son arose and went to David in the woods and strengthened his hand in God and he said, do not fear for25:14 the hand of my hand of Saul my father shall not find you. And you shall be king over Israel and I shall be next to you. Even my father Saul knows25:26 that. Jonathan gave up his future of where he could have been King Jonathan because he saw the kingly anointing on David said, I'm gonna help you.25:39 Every time you see somebody with potential, you have a choice to help them or hurt them. If you're insecure, you'll try to hurt them. Keep them down because you have25:51 a scarcity mindset. There's only so much around. If I help them, if they get some, then I won't get it. No, no, no, no. You have a limited view of doubt. It means the God of more than26:03 enough. There's an abundance. God, God, God blessing someone doesn't mean that God can't bless you. It's not like God goes, sorry, I'm out. And and26:14 every time you see somebody with potential, you you you you have to make a choice. Listen, I've been there before. I can get insecure, successful people, you know. And, you know, preacher and around, it's like, man, I'm26:26 56 therefore it's like, you know, it's like, man, you know, and and so we we we all I'm we're all human being, but but you but you have a choice. You're made in the image of God. You you don't have to act like a victim,26:37 but you can act like an empowered adult by God's help and grace, and you can make a choice to do to do what? Help the person. And when you make the choice to help them, I'm telling you, guess26:49 what? You step into being a person of influence. Being influential doesn't mean you have TikTok followers. That often means you're a fool. But anyway, that's another message. And27:01 I'm not against social media. I have social media. I gotta qualify all that. But influence from the kingdom of God means that you help people, That you help people. That you have27:13 a choice to go, you know what? I'm gonna lift the lids. Question, are you a lid lifter or a lid placer on people? It's been tragic. I've seen fathers27:25 insecure with the success of their sons. I've it's tragic or daughters and it's like woah woah woah woah woah woah. Isn't the point for our kids to go farther than us, to achieve27:36 more than us, so that we in our later years can look back and say, thank God I believed in them. And look at now how they're soaring in God. Come on parents, ain't that the goal? Isn't that the goal?27:50 That's the goal. That's the goal. That's the goal. Those of you that don't have kids, the goal is to help people. You can either hurt them or help them. Jonathan had a choice, I can either hurt David28:02 lids or help David, lids off. Yeah. Let me give you this third and final thing. It's this. Servant leaders share28:14 in other successes. When you help others Here's the cool thing. Pastor Jason, back to him, his church is exploding and growing, and he invites me once a year. I go in the summertime down there and I'm able to see it. His28:26 son's in our college here and and and I'm just I'm just so proud. I'm just so grateful. I'm just like And look, I don't think I did everything, but I had a small part. I think I say thank you Lord for the small28:38 part. I get to share in that. I get to share. When when when Jennifer and I, we see a young couple in the church, and I've been here 25 years. This church started 25 years ago. It's like and and it's like we see somebody28:50 get saved in this church and filled with the spirit, they get trained up, they start a business. In other words, just you you can be a proud parent knowing that, God, thank thank God that you had a small part. That you29:00 didn't make them and you are who you are because of it. No. But even a small part. Everybody say small part. What Whatever part. Everybody's got a will. They've got their own decision making process. But if you can play29:12 a small Whatever part you can play as a lifter and believing and doing for somebody, I'm telling you, it'll make your heart swell with just gratitude. You had a small part. Small part.29:23 Small part to play. Yeah. Thank you, God. Thank you, God. Servant leaders share in other successes. I, I I have a mentor, somebody that's29:35 really I just look up to, And his name is pastor Denny Duran. He's a coach and a pastor. He's he's in Shreveport, and I'm 56. I think he's 70 maybe 2. And29:47 he's just a giant of a figure, spiritually, as a leader. Just a and you get around him and he just lifts the room. It's just amazing. You ever don't you just love being29:59 around people like that? You're just like champion. You're like, whoo. You're just lifted. And he pastors a great church. I think his his son now pastors it. And and he but he30:11 still is the football coach at the school. Evangel Christian Academy, which is 1 of the best football schools in the world, maybe 1 tick under John Curtis. But anyway, I'm joking. It's 1 of the30:23 greatest schools. I think they have I think they've put a hundred people in the NFL. He's 1 of the greatest coaches.
