earlier it is a youth-led led service and so um our first speaker will be um and we were told to all pack our bags and bring them to church today one time it was a flashlight and it's been weighing down on my mind this whole week but recently a few days ago the revelation came to me that this problem does not matter to me [Music] if i forget one thing you know it's in god's hands now and you know there are problems in our minds it won't matter at the end of your life if i forget a toothbrush wild camp this year and that's why my summer topic today is living a weightless life [Music] my grandparents always say i don't eat enough um we what it means is to give all of your worldly problems to god and trusting him with all of your problems all of your needs and having faith and i wanted to read a verse in psalms 55 it's verse 22. salomon it says cast your cares on the lord and he will sustain you he will never let the righteous be shaken 55-22 oh you know the first time i read that verse i thought to myself what does it mean to sustain something uh you know sustaining something is not an automatic solution your problem is not completely solved right away uh problem when you receive sustaining something is supporting it so you can overcome challenges and the second part of that verse it says he will never let the righteous be shaken that he won't let the righteous be shaken in faith through these challenges on uh you know everyone always says that god won't give some you something that you cannot handle and each one of us throughout our lives we face different problems the things that we come to god with the change they change depending on the season we're in uh someone might be trying to get a job one year someone might have back pain that they've been struggling with and you know or even a math test for like a younger that no problem is too small to come and say you know this is a little problem you know i'm not going to burden god with this problem he's all powerful why would he care if i got a b on a math test myself because i don't think they deserve to be prayed for and very recently at one of our youth prayer nights i had the thought to me that no problem is too small to come to god it's just as easy for god to create man as for imminent as it is for him to get you an a on your math test and holding on to these small problems just makes them worse in the long run [Music] you know my bible is pretty light you know it's only like about two pounds but if i hold it out here and i hold on to it for a while longer and longer the longer i hold it it's just going to get heavier it doesn't matter if it's a small problem or a big weight on the end of your hand it's just going to keep getting heavier until you can't carry yourself so why do we think we're forced to be burdened with and everyone knows this next verse from matthew 11 verses 28 to 30. uh come to me all you who are weary and burden and i will give you rest take my yoke upon you and learn from me for i am gentle and humble in heart and you will find a rest for your souls for my yoke is easy and my burden is light yes and we learn from them and that we have this responsibility to spread the word [Music] but one of the main reasons we don't give up our problems i found out that it is i used to think that it was just pride is boasting to others about your accomplishments but pride can be mental think of thinking of yourself better than others thinking that you and your own strengths are solving your problems you know back in elementary school i passed almost all of my classes with a's and b's i went into high school uh much of high school planning to breeze by all of the courses you showed us i'm sorry planning to pass all the classes uh [Music] and i started worrying you know he has thought peter i thought you know what's wrong with me i usually can do this you know i started wearing during school like man if i come home my parents find out i'm really going to get it this week and uh i came home thinking what happened [Music] [Music] it was god [Music] because even though i turned those b's and c's into a's and b's i want to transition into how we can give our problems to god then you've lost the faith that it's in god's hands and i want to read another verse for matthew it's verse on chapter 6 verses 25 and 26. global therefore i tell you do not worry about your life what you will eat or drink or about your body that you will wear is it is not life more than food and the body more than clothes look at the birds in the air do they not sow or reap or store stow away in barns and yet your heavenly father feeds them are you not much more valuable than they are and the main goal for christians is to lead other souls to go up there with you as well so why would we have to worry about our problems down here when we know that if we follow god's plan for our lives he plans for us much greater things than we can ever imagine and instead of focusing on these things of the world the more and more i try to imagine eternity the harder it is [Music] but i've realized that if i just focus on what god lays before me i just have to think about right now what i'm doing with my life to serve him and if we focus on bringing people to christ god has a will for our lives [Music] and we need to have this face faith that things will just fall into place [Music] because we know he's the only one that can solve all of our problems and if anyone could just stand for their fee i'd like to lead us in a prayer lord god we thank you for this day lord we thank you for giving us this opportunity to praise you lord we thank you for this wonderful day lord we thank you for giving us this breath that we have lord for giving us feet lord that we can go in a voice that we can spread your name lord that we can go before all of the nations lord that you have a plan for our lives god and it's greater than anything we can ever imagine lord we just want to glorify you in this moment lord foreign lord you see our hearts you see our minds lord you see the problems that we are struggling with in our everyday lives lord and we know that only you can solve those problems lord so at this time lord we ask that you would just come into our lives lord and in this time lord we give all of our promise to you and we cast them to you god because you're the only one who can solve them lord and in jesus name i pray amen foreign i know you as a church and as parents are overjoyed when you see young you know i came to church uh earlier today and i saw them practicing here already yes you know how nice it would be if it were like that every sunday tucson church is open uh therefore youth the church is open i would like to remind us that uh on wednesday we have our church service at 7 30 and oh monday we have our prayer at 7 30. and then wednesday at 7 30 we have our mid-week service as well and on sunday we have our service beginning from 10 30 in the conference room in myanmar and i would like to thank you all those that are putting in the effort to come on time so today um the youth are not going to have their usual youth service because they will be preparing for their trip but typically we do have youth services at six o'clock family day so october 1st i want to remind us all we will be having a family day tomorrow therefore next sunday we will have more information about the event and we will be having guests as well and that will be saturday the 1st but on the second the sunday after we will be having a guest in our church through his building therefore i remind you as well again that we will be having a second offering for our youth yeah and also if you have any needs or requests you may write them on a piece of paper and submit them so we could pray not just today but and throughout the week and may the lord bless you and again as uh it's a nice service we are having and the youth is leading us we have something else very special that we would like to share with you senior pastor pastor nicole and therefore i invite our senior pastor nicholas and he will share some good news with you and i would like to invite our sisters olga lubov and angela to come forward therefore so everybody would be able to see you is and of course we asked them what kind of uh you know gifts or what are what are you able to serve the church you know and i want to share this with you because it's not a secret angela not a little bit pitch and we know angela angela she really loves it and we invite her uh you know some people might brush uh prayer to the side but i'll tell you i'll share a moment with you guys when billy graham lived through his whole life when he was doing an interview they did an interview and asked we're all aware of the fact that billy graham preached to many people in all the world but you know what he said and it's also encouragement for you and for all that prayer the scripture and then i would have preached 10. therefore you are in the right place praise god do we receive them church praise god and everyone that desires to take part of the local church do it because it is a local church and through the local church we are able to have a uh connection with the universal church is [Music] and therefore you may make uh let pastors know that you would like to become a member and that's and i would ask you just come forward a little bit yeah these are members of the body of christ let us pray [Music] when you see them in the hallways you may also greet them may god bless you and now we'll be having our uh ties and offerings and reminder the second offering and then after this we will be praying for our children and sending them off to sunday schools whenever you're ready you will serve with a song [Music] [Music] i need the kind of love [Music] is [Music] is [Music] you [Music] myself is [Music] is [Music] you keep [Music] [Music] when my faith for me [Music] now is your time to come forward we'll be praying and blessing you and we heard that without god we cannot do nothing that's why the word of god says put all cast all your burdens and worries onto the lord because he cares for you and the apostle paul also says i can do all things through christ who strengthens me with god we cannot do anything but with god we can do everything because it is not us but it is these children in which the lord gave us it is his gift but without god's help and guidance we cannot bring them to the to the to his kingdom you can see my grandchildren here they're already about a race um because they're trying to get to sunday school first of all it's hard for them to even sit in sundays you know they would rather be jumping somewhere on this night stand up to our feet and think the lord and ask him for his mercy [Music] be blessed that we can be here in the house of prayer today um and so you typically like to have a physical bible um but today i don't yeah and i'll i'll be reading the text in english it's written in second kings four chapter four verses one through nine all right so now now the wife of the one of one of the sons of the prophets cried to elisha your servant my husband is dead and you know that your servant feared the lord but the creditor has come to take my two children to be his slaves and elisha said to her what shall i do for you tell me what you have in your house and she said your servant has nothing in the house except a jar of oil then he said go outside borrow vessels from all your navel neighbors empty the vessels and not too few then go in and shut the door behind yourself and your sons and pour into all of these vessels and when one is full set it aside so she went from him and shut the door behind herself and her sons and she as she poured they brought the vessels to her when the vessels were full she said to her son bring me another vessel and he said to her there is not another then the oil stopped flowing she came and told the man of god and he said go and sell the oil to pay your debts and you and your sons can live on the rest of and sisters this uh this word is written very long time ago in the old testament but the scripture in the new testament says there is a spiritual principle behind it [Music] this is the story this is a story about a widow who had two sons that went and visited a prophet of god in order to get an answer for his needs even the the title of the of the section in the bible is as is the same as that we are used to hearing you know we like the end of this story because it's very nice when the woman closed the door she poured a bunch of oil she sold this oil she paid off all her debts and now she is free to it first of all this woman has mentioned that she has become a widow finishing a statement [Music] you know sometimes we come to church and we say god if you don't give me anything today then i'm just not going to come again we are similar to that woman that has become a widow messiah the scriptures talk about widows that even lose their children and it shows that in this in this like if you're in this state that you don't have a future that this woman was in a very uh an unpleasant situation you know we don't come to the lord just so that he would just give us something and we get what we want we must understand that it is a great privilege that he has called us into salvation when you come to church you have to realize that you have been called into the family of god just as we we did earlier you know sometimes we don't fully understand the treasure and the value of it that we have uh just like this woman she didn't and so she went to the prophet and when she went to the prophet she said i don't have it and she asked what do you have she said i don't have anything but when the prophet pointed at her treasure then she began to realize how much how how how valuable it was is [Music] and so in the fifth verse it's a it's a very important uh it's very there's very important content in there that we can pull out and there's two sections the first and the second uh pursuit in there get the vessels from your neighbors and then close the door and then you will pour it you know our life is not as easy as it seems [Music] you know we come to church and we sing hallelujah and do do everything but then we remain as we were so in other words you have a little bit of oil but the amount of oil that you will have depends on the vessels that you collect from your neighbors sanitation and therefore the lord has revealed a great mystery in that that which it's not what you can serve for yourself but what you can serve for others it's a very simple task it says go to your neighbor and just borrow a vessel brothers and sisters if i had an argument with my neighbor do you think he will lend me his vessel yes supposedly the man that lives across the street from me if i share with him you know bad things that i have against him in my heart do you think he will lend me that vessel california ukrainian you know sometimes we like to have friends that are far away in california and other places and occasionally in the church it's hard to be together the vitamin all of us grab our container and collect the vessels into this container and we will go to the to the streets where my neighbors live and you will come with me [Music] and who is the closest to me in my journey or my street of life you know maybe i was driving to the church service and i said bad things to my wife and then i come to the service and sing hallelujah if i upset my wife do you think she'll lend me her vessel [Music] you know uh let's say there was an amount that was given to my brothers out of thousand five hundred five hundred but i'm still complaining and not happy with you know sometimes we notice that in families uh they they have there's people in the families that don't talk to each other for many years maybe they didn't uh weren't able to share some kind of house some money sexual resources and therefore if i had this kind of dispute with my brother with my brother will he lend me his elisha said go and borrow these vessels and not not few because you have a lot of work to do and then he says be careful that you do not
