This sermon hit hard as t first I wasn't sure and shut it off half way through, then I listened all the way through and it helped me understand what the message was, I was overly judgmental and I realize more and more how broken I am and need GOD to help me be the man he created me to be

I’m watching from Nevada. Visited the Longmont campus 2 weeks ago while I was in Colorado for my sister’s funeral I live in the middle of nowhere so this the next best thing.

The one thing that I love about Flatirons is that they have always been Biblically solid when sharing the love of Jesus and the hope and new life that He offers through His sacrifice, as opposed to many denominations within Chistiandom who are becoming apostate, propogating the message of unity to bring us all together regardless of fundamental doctrinal differences, succumbing to the cultural norms, adopting being politically correct, all under the guise of loving one another. This sermon was the first time that I felt clarification was needed. When the statement is made that maybe we need to sacrifice our ideology, which means our doctrines and beliefs, what doctrines and beliefs should we sacrifice?Jesse was probably referring to beliefs outside of fundamental Biblical beliefs, but when the apostate church is advocating a similar message, clarification is imperative. Also, Jesse stated that he believes Jesus stood up for Steven because he stood up for the outsiders?? Steven was stoned because he was in their face with the truth to the religious leaders. First he recounted the history of the Jewish nation and how God interacted with his people, beginning with Abraham, Joseph, Moses, right up to the temple built by Solomon. He then transitioned to sharing how God no longer dwells in houses, but in people's hearts, through the power of the Holy Spirit because of the death and resurrection of Jesus, God's Son. He called them stiffnecked, pointing out their sin, the sin of betraying and murdering the Righteous One, the Messiah who was foretold to come. It was not because he was standing up for the sinners and outsiders of his day. I agree that we must do that, but where is that message in this text? We must emulate the Savior in deep love and have open arms ...come all you who are burdened and I will give you rest...come as you are, but for God's sake, don't stay that way. This is the message of Flatirons. I believe that is the premise that Jesse is coming from, but unfortunately, in light of our present culture and the approach of the apostate church, clarity is probably a good idea. Blessings!

I do think that Jesse was very clear about the husband of the woman who advocated her to kill her baby or he would leave her. I am glad that Flatirons advocates men be real men of integrity and in my opinion, his comments were absolutely appropriate. Encouraging her to do the right thing and trust God through it all was good advice. Fasting and praying for her husband by her and by a circle of spiritually strong men to break the demonic stronghold that was on her husband to even demand such a thing was hopefully done, too. At the end of the day, because of many factors that influenced her, she chose poorly. Healing is there for her, through the love and forgiveness of the Savior and the loving kindness of the dear people at Flatirons. No way would she be cast aside. This is where she needed all the support that she could get and it sounds like Flatirons was there for her.
