This is “How To Be Unshakable Part 1”. Everything that can be shaken is being shaken.

if you have your Bibles open them with
me to the book of Hebrews the 12th
chapter Hebrews chapter 12 is where I
want to go this morning let’s go down to
verse 27 of Hebrews chapter
12 now this yet once more indicates the
removal of those things that are being
shaken as of things that are made that
the things which cannot be shaken May
remain therefore since we are receiving
a
kingdom which cannot be
shaken let us have Grace by which we may
serve God acceptably with reverence and
godly
fear I’m so thankful today that what
he’s saying in the first verse is
everything this man made and
temporary it’s being shaken we’re living
in that time we don’t know what the next
seven months are going to bring I I feel
an uneasiness just a little bit what is
coming we got Wars all over the world we
got things happening
internally everything that can be shaken
is being
shaken but we have received a
kingdom
now if you haven’t you can’t shout on
that part but if you have received a
kingdom that cannot be shaken and my
family is in that
Kingdom my marriage is in that
Kingdom my life is in that Kingdom and
it does not mean that we’re immune from
trouble and storms and difficulties and
adversities but whatever life brings I
have received a kingdom a structure a
foundation that cannot be
shaken I want to preach today on how to
be
unshakable because you see the
foundation that we build our life on
matters that’s why in Matthew 7 it talks
about there are only two foundations
that people build their homes and their
lives on he talks about building your
home on the
Rock and he said and when the rain
descended and the floods came and the
winds blew and beat on that house it
didn’t fall for it was founded it was
structured on the
Rock but to everyone of these sayings of
mine who hears it and they don’t do them
they’re like a fool who builds their
house on Sand and the rain descended the
floods came notice they go through the
same
thing we’re not immune we we don’t we
don’t get a get out of free get out of
jail free get out of pain free get out
of suffering free
card because we’re Christians we’re
going to all go through it in life but
the only difference between the two is
what they’re building their lives on one
is sand and one is The Rock and it said
that the one on Sand fail and it was a
great fall the other one stood through
the extreme storm when you walk into a
room like this in any of our campuses or
any
home you you seldom think of structure
you seldom think of foundation you it
really doesn’t matter to you you don’t
care about what’s up under the cement
the robar rubar the the the I’m not a
builder obviously but you don’t think
about all that stuff even this building
there’s steel and stuff and all kinds of
things that you can’t see it’s the
structure of the building that makes it
stand the amazing thing about storm
shelters extreme storm
shelters is when they’re giving the way
that they have to be
constructed they’re told not to use air
nail
guns I thought that was interesting
that when you’re building a hurricane
shelter a shelter that must absolutely
guarantee that it’s going to be there
it’ll be there through terrible storms
and Hell force
winds there’s nothing wrong with an air
nail gun a nail gun there’s nothing
wrong with it pop pop it’s up
quick I think it’s a Brilliant Invention
and that’s good if you
want um if you want something for uh 10
years 20 years 30 years it might last 50
years with a nail gun po but if you’re
going to build something that’s going to
endure the most extreme worst
storms you got to go not with the new
modern tools that run on
batteries but you got to get the old
hammer and nail
out it’s pretty
amazing the old method is the one that
you want to trust when the storm comes
when all hell is breaking loose I don’t
need to know that my whole life is built
on just a pop pop pop of a little bit of
religion but I need that old hammer and
that nail and that
cross I need something that will Outlast
the
storm if you’re just building a
temporary
Church pop pop pop the latest greatest
whatever but Free Chapel is not a
temporary
church I am not a Cutting Edge
preacher and I’m not up here trying to
build a fly by driveby
church I still believe the church is
essential I still believe that without
the
church the nation Goes to Hell I still
believe without the church the family
disintegrates I still believe without
the church the Gates of Hell will
prevail and if you’re just building a
temporary church and we’ve seen them pop
pop pop pop use the air gun and it’ll be
fine and it’ll last for a little while
and then like the Tower of Babel it’ll
fall but we’re not interested in
building that kind of
church
if you’re going to build a safe
structure that will withstand the
storm you don’t need new
gadgets you don’t need new
methods you need a hammer and you need a
nail you
need something that you know will
withstand the
storm I’m not Building a
garage I can’t just have pop pop pop
religion just come on Sunday pop and
that’s it and I’m good but it’s the
hammer in the nail because the carpenter
son said I will build my church in
Matthew
16 I will build my church and I’m not
going to use a nail
gun I God Almighty am going to come in a
skin
suit to planet Earth Bible said Jesus
thought it not robbery to be equal with
God in other words and then it said all
of the godhead was in
him all of God put on an earth suit and
for 30 years he did not preach a sermon
he created the universe he hung the
world on nothing he spoke the world into
existence created man but now now he’s
on planet Earth in skin and Flesh and
Blood Jesus was
100% the out the flesh part of Jesus was
100% man the spirit part was 100%
God and for 30 years he doesn’t heal he
doesn’t do anything why because it’s not
a pop pop pop nail gun deal he’s
building
and for three and a half years he goes
and then he says I’m going to build me a
church and the devil didn’t know that
the thing that he was going to use was a
hammer three nails and two beans called
across and he said that will become the
structure that if you build your life on
if you flesh out your life as long as
the foundation and the structure of your
life is that cross and that hammer and
those three Rusty Nails and the blood
that I shed I promise you it’s a storm
shelter that will withstand anything
hell can bring against you and your
family the Bible put it like this in
Isaiah no weapon formed against you
shall prosper I want you to clap your
hands if you believe in the foundation
that is
unshakable
I want to
hear today the words of Jesus I will
build my church The Gates of Hell will
not Prevail the church is not these
buildings the church is you the church
is you and your marriage the church is
you and your family the church is your
children and your grandchildren I will
build my church with a hammer and a nail
the hammer and nails sometimes you miss
and it’s bloody and it’s and it’s
hurtful and it’s painful and you’re
suffering and you’re going through long
days and long nights and it’s and it’s
just exhausting but when God doesn’t
give you the quick pop poop nail gun
answer know that he’s building a
structure in your family for Generations
this isn’t a quick throw up garage this
is a generational blessing and every
time you open up this book you’re using
the hammer and the nail and every time
you come to church it’s not just a pop
pop but this is what we do this is who
we are this is what family is supposed
to do is bring your family and worship
you are building an eternal
house Noah was commanded my by God to
build an ark for the saving of his
family the text
said and it was not a nail air
gun it was a hammer and nail
approach and it took him 120 years can
you imagine the people who were making
fun of him can you imagine the people
who were saying how stupid why do y’all
still go to church why do you still pray
why do you still fast why do you still
read the Bible I’m telling you we’re
living in that time where the the the
little nail gun religion of just go to
church on Easter and go to church and
love God in your own way and do your own
thing but there’s something to the old
method of the hammer and the nail and
just saying we’re going we’re going and
and and especially if you want a house
that’s going to endure I cannot promise
you you won’t go through stuff I cannot
promise you your kids won’t go through
stuff I cannot promise you your marriage
won’t go through stuff I can promise you
that if you’re building it on the right
structure and Foundation hell can hit
you with its best shot the old wolf the
devil can huff and puff but he will not
blow your house down because Jesus
himself the carpenter son said the gates
of hell it’s a guarantee your family and
your home will still be standing turn to
somebody and say you’ve got the
guarantee that’s a big
deal I love that when Noah built it got
his family on inside of it everybody was
mocking them and making fun but you know
the storm came and when the storm
came they went in a minority but they
came out a
majority and the only thing the storm
did was get rid of their
critics I’m telling you that we have a
structure folks
I can’t even promise you the government
I can’t even promise you the nation is
going to be remaining a 100 years from
now but should the Lord T his coming the
church that he is building will be alive
it’s alive in China it’s alive in
Ukraine it’s alive in Russia it’s alive
all over the world they can’t snuff it
out because it’s built to
last
all of the adjustments the world wants
us to
make they’re messing with the structure
of the
family God created them male and
female and when you tell eight years
olds now are you sure you want to be a
female even though you’re a biological
female you can
choose and if you don’t want to be we
can get some
surgery you’re messing with the
structure the of the family and even
creation
itself you’re messing with the structure
this is dangerous these are perilous
[Applause]
times and if you don’t agree with it and
it goes against the core values of who
you are and what you believe you’re
somehow a bigot no I’m a person of Faith
who’s building my family upon the word
of God the rock solid
foundation he created them male and
female and I’m sorry but the marriage
that is built on the Rock is the
marriage between a man and a woman the
the marriage that is built on the Rock
is the marriage that honors God and says
I believe in Freedom live like you want
to live but ask for me in my
house we will serve the Lord I
cannot be silent about that it’s the
structure anything else is sinking sand
come on now my God we cannot just sit
back and see the Ten Commandments
maltt Thou shalt not kill the Bible said
if the foundations are destroyed what
will a nation and a church do and the
people of God do if the
foundations the
foundations the are the foundations the
structure we’re removing that we’re
saying
uh Thou shalt not steal but if you want
to go in and take what you
want because life’s not fair that gives
you a right Thou shalt not steal Thou
shalt not kill Thou shalt not commit
adultery Thou shalt not sleep with your
girlfriend your
boyfriend Thou shalt not
lie Thou shalt honor thy father and thy
mother Thou shalt have no other gods
before
me well we don’t need to be so absolute
yes we do Nei neither is there any other
name given whereby men can be saved but
the name of Jesus I don’t know what to
tell you that’s that’s the foundation
you cannot mess with the structure if
you mess with the structure and and and
what is wrong with the church is that
we’re allowing our foundations and our
structures and we’re and we’re so afraid
that that we’re going to be penalized in
the workplace or wherever that we’re not
speaking up but as Christians we’re in a
time where we have to say
I’m G to stick with the sure
Foundation when you start dismantling
the
structure even of the
Constitution the structure of the
Supreme Court the structure of Justice
the structure it’s going to be filled
with abuses and but it’s the structure
that makes this nation
great it was built by people who came
and they were not Flawless they had
terrible flaws but they came saying we
want one
nation under
God on your money in God we trust it
says that now if you want to move that
structure out get ready for a collapse
of the economy because in God we
trust oh God help me to preach and I I
picked the wrong sermon to preach for
the first time in a new church but so be
it I’m tired of I’m tired of
sugarcoating it and I’m tired of being
quiet nope this book is right this book
is on this book is Real This Book Is
Alive culture should not change the
church culture should not change the
Christian love everybody but stand for
what you
stand
I want to ask you because the problem
is you don’t
know the sad reality is you will not
know when you gave up too much until
it’s too late and the storm is upon
you Samson made a Nazarite vow that he
would not drink
wine it was his personal conviction it
was a vow he made to to God and God said
that’s the deal I’ll honor I won’t drink
wine I won’t touch dead
things I won’t cut my
hair and that’s my vow to you of
consecration the next thing you know
he’s drinking a little
wine he’s touching dead things there’s a
line the slain and he’s reaching down
getting honey out of it touching dead
things he’s sleeping with his girlfriend
whoops and I can see him going back in
the gym I can still press
600 you won’t
know when your powers left
you once you start messing with the
structure of your relationship and
convictions with
god oh come on here now once you keep on
comp a little here a little there a
little here a little there and then one
day the fo you don’t know Samson how
weak you become because it can be
deceiving but suddenly the phelicity and
he wished not he shook himself like he
did other times but it wasn’t there C he
had messed with the structure so
much that the spirit had
left I’m simply trying to preach to you
today that the structure really matters
the foundation matters how much music
filthy music can you listen to before it
affects the structure of who you are how
much filthy pornography can you look
at so how long can you mess and Dabble
with stuff how long can you run with the
wrong friends you still can come to
church and feel God’s presence and you
still I’m not questioning your
relationship with God but what I am
questioning is how long can you sustain
it as you make more and more and more
structural changes about who you are in
the convictions of what you were raised
in that you know are right but somehow
I’ll shift this and change this and
change this and before you know it
you’re not the person you used to
be I tell you I that that fear I fear I
that’s the fear of the Lord we need the
fear of the Lord back in the church we
need to we need to understand that
anybody can fall but unto him who is
able to keep us from falling if we stay
connected to the SK skeleton which is
Jesus the flesh May Fail but it’ll
always get back
up because the structure and Foundation
is
solid I don’t believe it’s by chance
that you watch today’s message God has
planned for you to hear his word today
he’s so loving he’s so merciful he’s so
good I don’t know what you’ve heard
about about God but he loves you and
there’s nothing more important in this
moment right now than for you to receive
Jesus Christ as your lord and savior and
I’m going to pray for you and I want you
to pray he’s ready to do it just pray
this prayer say Jesus I receive you as
my Lord and as my savior heal my life
here’s the broken pieces this is all I
have left but the miracle in what’s left
not in what I’ve lost and I receive your
help your grace your peace your
forgiveness your healing in the mighty
name of Jesus say that name in the
mighty name of
Jesus Amen I want you to go on the
website and let us know what God has
done or pick up the phone dial the
number that’s on the screen we would
love to pray with you before I go I want
to take a moment to say thank you to
every one of you who are supporting this
Ministry and especially I want to thank
you for the unwavering support to the
nation of Israel during this time of
horrific War we ask our friends and our
partners in ESO what can we do for you
in this time of emergency and so much
sorrow and Brokenness and pain what do
you need during this time of war and
they were very clear in their requests
that’s why we’re building the jfmm eso
resilience Center it will provide
treatment for PTSD for all of the men
and the women and the children that have
experiened horrific attacks and rapes
and things that we can’t even imagine I
saw the actual footage at the Israeli
Embassy in Washington DC as it was
happening the actual footage of Hamas
they were so proud of pouring gasoline
on babies and children I’ve never seen
things that human eyes should never see
I’ll never forget it and even worse than
what I’m describing and so the PTSD the
mental condition of the whole
Community is uh is is marred and and we
know that God can bring peace to the
darkest darkest situations will you help
us I believe if you will God will bless
you if you’ll consider giving a special
gift I know the Lord I’m going to tell
you what to do pray about it and you’ll
hear from him he’ll lay whatever he
tells you to do do it it’ll be enough
thank you and please continue to pray
for the nation of
[Music]
Israel I’m standing here in the Zach’s
house the Zach Family House in kibutz
suim the first community that we
introduce you to on October 7 this
entire family
perished when we walked after the
atrocities of October 7 into this house
we saw the father lying here behind me
on the floor with a knife in his hand
and in the shelter behind me the mother
in bed hugging her son both dead and
both burned
alive but just like this Instinct of a
family to protect each other to save
each other this is what we feel with you
Pastor Jensen Franklin and your entire
congregation it was an instinct a family
instinct to come and stand with us and
to remind us that we are not alone you
are responding immediately because you
know us you know us already for many
years before and you committed to build
a resilience Center that will give us
therapy for our communities to heal
together in these atrocities of October
7 we know that we will rebuild
again it will be painful and hard but we
know that with you we can make it happen
step by step together as a
