Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now I have a fifty minute sermon for you today.
No I don't.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
But if we get those slides up, we're gonna have prayer.
We're going to focus our thoughts on the theme of pathfinders,
and let's pray, Father guide us as we open the
Bible for a little in Jesus' name.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Now, young people, God is calling you to a very
special calling in life. He is not calling you to
anything less than to be the Special Ops generation. Say
it with me, the Special Ops generation. Now, I don't
go and I have a family member who is in
the Special Ops. When they are called to duty, they
(00:37):
go anywhere in the world. When they're called to duty,
they stand for something. They rescue lives. Next slide. They
can drop from the air.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Whatever they need to do, they do it. Now. Look,
one day Jesus is coming.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
He's dropping from the air, and he's calling on a
generation before he returns to be able, to be able
and willing to share Christ with integrity.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
I want to go to the Book of Daniel.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Our children's story is beautifully tied to this next slide,
and let's look at Daniel one to eight. Is that
my first slide? There you go, Thank you actually not
the Book of Daniel. Let's just go in order. This
is from the Spirit of Prophecy, Sister White's quoting Forbes
Magazine online, which shows you how important a quote it is.
(01:27):
The greatest want of the world is the want of
men or women who will not be bought or sold.
Men or women who, in their inmost souls are what
what does it say? True and honest men who do
not fear to call sin by its right name, men
it means. And women whose conscience is as true to
(01:48):
duty as the needle to the poll, who will stand
for the right though the what Heaven's fault pathfinders?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Are you in the club? Raise your hand eye if
you are, you want to be that.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Kind of a young person. Okay, all right, let's move
to the next slide. I want to go through four
ingredients that Daniel and his friends had in Babylon that
helped them to be the special Ops generation. God took
them from Israel, he put him in Babylon. He changed
the world through these these four individuals set Shadrack, Mischek
(02:19):
and a Bendigo and Daniel and There's They probably never
went home, but they made a difference as the special
ops generation. Now the first is integrity. Does integrity matter?
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Yes or no? It does.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Let's look at the verse next that follows Daniel one eight.
But Daniel purposed in his heart that he.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Would not what defile himself.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Now it tells us in the verse how by eating
the wrong kind of food. That's why you know, we're
kind of picky about not eating pork and some other things,
because the Bible says these are unclean foods. But also
nor with the dwine which he drank. So is alcohol
gonna help you be a man or woman of God.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Let's hear a big no, no, you can say loud now.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
In fact, there is In Proverbs twenty one, it says
whoever is deceived thereof is not wise. And so Daniel
was not deceived. He had integrity. He wouldn't touch the stuff.
And I made that decision a little later than I should.
When I was a young person, I used to drink
at the age of fifteen. I am ashamed of that.
But when I became a Christian and I was baptized,
(03:30):
I was baptized into Christ. And when I was baptized
into Christ, that didn't mean I have freedom to act
like the devil.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
It means I'm free to live for Jesus. And I
made a decision.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
No drugs, no alcohol, no watching things I shouldn't to
live for Jesus. Is that good? Raise your hand? Integrity? Integrity, Okay,
And it says that he might not defile himself. Let's
go the next one. Commitment. Now, it takes a little
courage to have commitment. Commitment means you're in it. You're going,
(04:04):
You're not gonna leave the Lord. Let's go the next verse. Now,
bickon Nezra said, blessed be the God of Shadrack Mishek
and a Bendigo, who has sent his angel and delivered
his servants from the fiery furnace, understood who trusted in
him and set at not the king's command, and yielded
(04:24):
up their bodies rather than serve and worship any God
except their own God.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Do we have pure pressure in our lives? Yes? Or no? Now?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
As as as Christians, I'm gonna I'm gonna ask you
a question. Should we as Christians choose the music of
the world? Yes or no?
Speaker 1 (04:46):
No? Now? In our church? Man, you may not realize.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
It talks about rock music and also talks about jazz
and other music forms. Now we've all been influencing our
culture a little bit by music, So I'm not against that.
But you know what, shouldn't we seek the best for Jesus,
yes or no? I used to when I was a kid.
I used to go to rock concerts where they got drunk.
(05:11):
You ever do that, don't raise your hand, keep your
hands down. And I remember doing awful things in that
thing with those things before I was baptized. Garamel, your
head's going down, you know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
And when you come to.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Church, you accept Christ, you say, I'm not gonna do that.
I'm gonna live for the Lord. And I one day
had to tell my brother, who had introduced me to
alcohol at an early age, got me drunk one night.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I staggered in Now he threw up all over the place.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I didn't throw up, but I thought to myself, how
dumb it was to get drunk on alcohol at the
age of thirteen. See, I wonder what had happened. My
IQ shrank, So I've had to work at it.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
You know. Ever, since.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
God is not mocked. He wants the special ops generation
to be admit it. And when you say no, under
peer pressure. You have courage in your life. You're a
person has nobility of character. And these men, these young
men stood for God and Christ in their generation. Let's
go the next one. Courage. Now say it with me. Courage,
(06:22):
say it with some depth.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Courage.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Alrighty, courage, Special Ops generation has courage. Next slide, it
says Shadrack, me shaking have been to go answer the
king o nebukin Azer.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
We have no need to answer you in this matter.
He was telling me.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
If you don't do what I tell you to do,
if you don't boup down and worship that image, I'm
gonna throw you into the fire. And they said, look,
we don't need to answer you. You may be king
of a kingdom, but you aren't king of our hearts.
You don't stand in our conscience. We don't buckle to
pressure that would have us violate God's law. We're gonna
(06:58):
stand for the Lord as the generation of courage. He says, well,
I'm going to burn you like Kentucky fried Chicken, but
worse carbon.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
He said, well, look at verse seventeen.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
If it'd be so, our God, whom we serve, is
able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and
he would deliver us out of your hand, O King.
But then they go on and say, but if not,
O King, let it be known to you that we
will not serve you in this way and worship that image.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Did that take courage? Now?
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Look, I'm going to talk now to some of the
older people in the church. When our young people are
being challenged by temptation. Shouldn't we stand in the gap
and encourage them?
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Yes or no? Raise your hand.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
I mean it takes courage as an adult to do
the right thing, so we can model it for our younger,
younger generation. But if he goes on to say, but
if not, let it be known to you, O King,
that we will not serve your gods or worship the
gold image which you have set up.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Next slide. The fourth characteristic is endurance.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Now, if you start out as a Christian but you
end up serving the devil, does.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
It really matter? These don't you?
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Wouldn't you love to take a class for me in school?
These are easy answers. You get an a if you
say no, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you
do that.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Look. Endurance means you keep at it.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
You don't change. You don't give up. I can tell
you from my own experience. If I would have given up,
if many of the leaders of the church would have
given up, we wouldn't have a church building today. I've
seen people come and go at reaching hearts, but the
people who stay and don't give up are the reason
there's a witness in this community. We were in prayer
(08:45):
meeting this week and Daniel Moore had a presentation. It
was God led, God be praised, not Daniel, but God
be praised. He brought out the importance of sticking with
it as being a tree of righteousness, standing for the
Lord your generation no matter what, and then having the
fruits of the spirit.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
So endurance matters.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Next first year, and Daniel continued until the first year
of King Cyrus seventy years in Babylon. It was hard
to stand for the Lord. He was made where he
couldn't have children, his life was forever altered, but he
didn't give up. He remained a believer all the way
through the time where you saw his people come back
(09:26):
from captivity.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Next slide.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
But you Daniel, Jesus is speaking to Daniel here in
his pre existent state, just at.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
The end of the book of Daniel. But you, Daniel,
go your way till the end.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
How many of you want to go all the way
to the end with Christ and make it into His kingdom.
That's what path finders are about. God has called us
to that kind of success. Go your way to the end,
and you shall rest, and you shall stand in your
allotted place at the end of the days. Now, it's
a real honor to have stood here today. But I'll
(09:59):
tell you right now, when you stand with Jesus at
the end of the age, you stand with him on
the sea of glass, with apostles, with the great men
and women of faith who've died for the Lord, who
may have been few, but were true to truth no
matter what. And you stand with these these great witnesses
in Hebrews eleven, the Hall of Fame of Faith. It's
(10:22):
gonna matter. But you see, friend, we must endure to
the end to be saved next slight. Jesus says this
in Matthew twenty four to thirteen. But he who endures
to the end, what does it say in your Bible
might be saved, will be saved? And I like verse
fourteen and fifteen, And this Gospel of the Kingdom will
(10:48):
be preached throughout the whole world as a testimony to
all nations. That's the special ops generation. That's your generation.
That's why we invest in teaching you the Bible by
standing for Christian principles and not giving into the slop
bucket culture that we have. The one who endures to
the end will be saved. But the Gospel goes to
(11:10):
the world because of your generation.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
And verse fifteen.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
So when you see the desolating sacrilege, Now some translations
will say the abomination of desolation, that means that wicked
thing in the Book of Daniel, that anti Christ power,
the evil teaching, the rotten theology, the church state system.
They got it all wrong. When you see that spoken
(11:36):
by the prophet. Now what prophet is he talking about?
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Young people? What prophet do you see on the screen there?
Speaker 2 (11:42):
That's the prophecy book, the Book of Daniels, the Book
of Prophecy. Do you realize that our church was raised
up by Jesus Christ as a prophetic movement, that we
come at the end of the longest time prophecy in
the Book of Danil that ends in the year eighteen
forty four, not to be better than anybody else, not
(12:06):
to virtue sign and say, oh look at us, But
because God has given us prophetic truth, the Three Angels
messages for the time of the end. You are the
Special Ops generation. You have to master your Bible and
your generation. I mean some people say, you know, I
don't want I don't want the Bible. You ever hear
(12:27):
someone say I don't want the Bible. I want to
have fun.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
You ever hear that. Well, here's what I want to say.
I don't want to have fun.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
I want to have the Bible because God will take
care of the fun part. When you are interacting with
young people who love God's Word, who love God, who
want to share and serve and witness, there is nothing
funner on the face of the earth than being a
part of the Special Ops generation for Jesus. So Jesus
is saying, let the reader understand, grow in your Bible,
(12:58):
grow in prophecy, grow in Christ.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Don't give up.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Now, let's put those slides back up and review those
four points before we end here.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Just the four slides. I'll need your help on.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
That tech, all right, So what's the first quality that
we need in the Special OPS generation?
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Read it with me. Integrity.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
What's the second one commitment to Jesus. Second third one courage,
and the fourth one endurance. Now, how many of you
with me would like to recommit your life to the
Lord in those four areas? Raise your hand high. You
can raise your other hand high too, okay, and you
(13:37):
can pull the Lord right down into your heart, because
He's coming there when you make a commitment like that.
Let's pray, Dear Father God, we've had a little time
here to celebrate just the achievements of our young people
and giving glory to You and worship. We pray that
this next year we will be more into our Bibles.
(13:59):
We'll find ways to that we will come to know
the Bible and master it as the Special Ops generation
is maturing here, and that this group of young people
will be doubled next year by young people in Laurel
High School and other places who have never had a
chance to hear the Word of God where they can
hear it and grow in it. But Lord, give every
(14:20):
one of these young people courage, and Lord, maybe have
fun this summer, have fun together, but be true to
You at all times. Thank You for loving us. Thank
you Lord for working in my life as a young person.
I had so much wrong in my life before I
found Jesus, and you help me grow when I was
stumbling a lot. And I'm just grateful you don't give
(14:42):
up on any of us. And thank you Lord for
being our God. In Jesus' name. Amen, Dear Heavenly Father,
you told Daniel through the Angel Gabriel, that those who
are wise shall shine like the rightness of the firmainent,
and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars
(15:04):
forever and ever and Father, as we have dedicated these
young people to you today, we pray that you will
take hold of their hearts, fill them with the Holy Spirit,
make them men and women of the Bible, and make
Christ live in them. With these four vital qualities we've
talked about today, that they will be the Special Ops generation.
(15:28):
And we thank you for answering this prayer in Jesus' name. Amen, God,
bless you.
Now I have a fifty minute sermon for you today.
No I don't.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
But if we get those slides up, we're gonna have prayer.
We're going to focus our thoughts on the theme of pathfinders,
and let's pray, Father guide us as we open the
Bible for a little in Jesus' name.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Now, young people, God is calling you to a very
special calling in life. He is not calling you to
anything less than to be the Special Ops generation. Say
it with me, the Special Ops generation. Now, I don't
go and I have a family member who is in
the Special Ops. When they are called to duty, they
(00:37):
go anywhere in the world. When they're called to duty,
they stand for something. They rescue lives. Next slide. They
can drop from the air.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Whatever they need to do, they do it. Now. Look,
one day Jesus is coming.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
He's dropping from the air, and he's calling on a
generation before he returns to be able, to be able
and willing to share Christ with integrity.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
I want to go to the Book of Daniel.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Our children's story is beautifully tied to this next slide,

the end of the age, you stand with him on
the sea of glass, with apostles, with the great men
and women of faith who've died for the Lord, who
may have been few, but were true to truth no
matter what. And you stand with these these great witnesses
in Hebrews eleven, the Hall of Fame of Faith. It's
(10:22):
gonna matter. But you see, friend, we must endure to
the end to be saved next slight. Jesus says this
in Matthew twenty four to thirteen. But he who endures
to the end, what does it say in your Bible
might be saved, will be saved? And I like verse
fourteen and fifteen, And this Gospel of the Kingdom will
(10:48):
be preached throughout the whole world as a testimony to
all nations. That's the special ops generation. That's your generation.
That's why we invest in teaching you the Bible by
standing for Christian principles and not giving into the slop
bucket culture that we have. The one who endures to
the end will be saved. But the Gospel goes to
(11:10):
the world because of your generation.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
And verse fifteen.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
So when you see the desolating sacrilege, Now some translations
will say the abomination of desolation, that means that wicked
thing in the Book of Daniel, that anti Christ power,
the evil teaching, the rotten theology, the church state system.
They got it all wrong. When you see that spoken
(11:36):
by the prophet. Now what prophet is he talking about?
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Young people? What prophet do you see on the screen there?
Speaker 2 (11:42):
That's the prophecy book, the Book of Daniels, the Book
of Prophecy. Do you realize that our church was raised
up by Jesus Christ as a prophetic movement, that we
come at the end of the longest time prophecy in
the Book of Danil that ends in the year eighteen
forty four, not to be better than anybody else, not
(12:06):
to virtue sign and say, oh look at us, But
because God has given us prophetic truth, the Three Angels
messages for the time of the end. You are the
Special Ops generation. You have to master your Bible and
your generation. I mean some people say, you know, I
don't want I don't want the Bible. You ever hear
(12:27):
someone say I don't want the Bible. I want to
have fun.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
You ever hear that. Well, here's what I want to say.
I don't want to have fun.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
I want to have the Bible because God will take
care of the fun part. When you are interacting with
young people who love God's Word, who love God, who
want to share and serve and witness, there is nothing
funner on the face of the earth than being a
part of the Special Ops generation for Jesus. So Jesus
is saying, let the reader understand, grow in your Bible,
(12:58):
grow in prophecy, grow in Christ.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Don't give up.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Now, let's put those slides back up and review those
four points before we end here.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Just the four slides. I'll need your help on.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
That tech, all right, So what's the first quality that
we need in the Special OPS generation?
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Read it with me. Integrity.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
What's the second one commitment to Jesus. Second third one courage,
and the fourth one endurance. Now, how many of you
with me would like to recommit your life to the
Lord in those four areas? Raise your hand high. You
can raise your other hand high too, okay, and you
(13:37):
can pull the Lord right down into your heart, because
He's coming there when you make a commitment like that.
Let's pray, Dear Father God, we've had a little time
here to celebrate just the achievements of our young people
and giving glory to You and worship. We pray that
this next year we will be more into our Bibles.
(13:59):
We'll find ways to that we will come to know
the Bible and master it as the Special Ops generation
is maturing here, and that this group of young people
will be doubled next year by young people in Laurel
High School and other places who have never had a
chance to hear the Word of God where they can
hear it and grow in it. But Lord, give every
(14:20):
one of these young people courage, and Lord, maybe have
fun this summer, have fun together, but be true to
You at all times. Thank You for loving us. Thank
you Lord for working in my life as a young person.
I had so much wrong in my life before I
found Jesus, and you help me grow when I was
stumbling a lot. And I'm just grateful you don't give
(14:42):
up on any of us. And thank you Lord for
being our God. In Jesus' name. Amen, Dear Heavenly Father,
you told Daniel through the Angel Gabriel, that those who
are wise shall shine like the rightness of the firmainent,
and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars
(15:04):
forever and ever and Father, as we have dedicated these
young people to you today, we pray that you will
take hold of their hearts, fill them with the Holy Spirit,
make them men and women of the Bible, and make
Christ live in them. With these four vital qualities we've
talked about today, that they will be the Special Ops generation.
(15:28):
And we thank you for answering this prayer in Jesus' name. Amen, God,
bless you.
