couple things that I think are kind of ironic this morning. Um first and foremost, somehow I got the early morning time slot with a bunch of teenagers who were out late last night, having fun and I feel like that’s easily the toughest time slot in the group. But um, that’s okay. The ironic thing about that is that those of you that know me well, have heard me say this before. Um, I I am not a motivator. I don’t see myself as someone that should be a motivator. In fact, I think it’s a mistake for leaders to really position themselves as motivators and part of why that is, is going to come out here in a little bit because a big part of what we’re going to cover in our scripture today is the fact that the love of christ compels us and if you understand all the theological truths, that really undergird that you’re going to be in a better place than someone who has a lot of great hype videos. Okay, so here’s what I want to say to start with, like as a football coach, these guys can tell you, you know, I am not the pregame speech guy, Like I’m the head football coach, but that’s not how I see myself. I addressed the team about an hour before the game with some basic theological truth that should support all that we’re doing and get us excited to compete for the glory of the Lord. But right before the game, we do this big for lack of a better term high prayer, which what is a high prayer. I feel kind of weird even using that phrase, but we do this thing. It’s more like a chance, but it’s kind of a prayer because that’s who we are. And I do. I lead that guys. No, no. In fact I if it’s happening over here are assistant coach cold work, which if you know him at all, you know, he’s the guy for the job, He’s over there doing it with everybody, they’re all huddled up, it’s loud and fun. I stand over by this garage door that comes out of our weight room where everybody exits and I’m just ready to open the door when they’re done and fist bump people and say enjoy it, have fun. Um, love you. You know those kind of things. I am not a hype guy and, and, and I think it’s important for you to just sort of see that I’m not here when we talk about the love of christ motivating us, compelling us. I’m not here to be over the top. You remember me um with this with this topic, I’m I’m here to show you that the deepest truths of the universe should compel you and control you to be God’s ambassadors and live for his glory. So I’m going to read our text and what’s going to ultimately happen is that we’re going to read through Second Corinthians 56 through 62. But we’re really gonna park ourselves on 5 14 and 15 because that’s where everything sort of hinges. That’s the heart of what we’ve got here. And so after we read, I’ll pray and then we’ll really unpack this. So let’s get started. So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord for we walk by faith, not by sight. Yes, we are of good courage and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord. So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him. For we must or for we must all appear before the judge judgment seat of christ so that each one may receive what is due for him or do for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil. Therefore knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade others. But what we are is known to God. And I hope it is known also to your conscience. We’re not commending ourselves to you again, but giving you cause to boast about us so that you may be able to answer those who boast about outward appearance and not about what is in the heart for if we are beside ourselves, it is for God. If we are in our right mind, it is for you, for the love of christ controls us. That’s the first phase we’re go…
