Oh and for the pool because pools are cool I feel the love book a Virbo that's love by guests if you know you Virbo This is Matt Rogers from Los Cultures. That's with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang This is Bowen Yang from Los Cultures. It's Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang You know when people try a new food and suddenly it's like okay hold on I got a new favorite food That's the reaction a lot of people are having when they first try Cupid Mayon. Yeah, it's the one with the red cap and the little baby on the bottle You've probably seen it at the grocery store and this mayo is different Most mayonnaise uses whole eggs Cupid only uses egg yolks, which gives it this rich umami flavor. It's smoother deeper almost buttery once people try it They start putting it on everything egg sandwiches fries burgers chefs use it restaurants use it people who really care about Flavor use it put it on just about anything then you'll understand Cupid the original Japanese mayonnaise

1:00Today I want us to look at God's promises About your future now you ought to be interested in this for three reasons first the rest of your life is in your future None of your life is left in the past or even today all your life is in the future and the two things I could say about that are Number one you don't know what it's gonna be and two you can't control it so I should definitely be interested in What God has this to say about my future because I don't know none of us know what's gonna happen tomorrow much less next year And we can't certainly can't control it one of the ways we try to control the future is worried But worry is worthless. It doesn't work now before we look at six promises of God and I've asked buddy to help me with one of these Promises before we look at the six promises about your future I want to give you four facts about your future. I know this is review you already know this but it gives us a foundation for What we're gonna look at today number one four facts the Bible says about your future number one God knows

2:03Everything that will happen God knows everything that's gonna happen in your life already He knows the beginning and the end that this is called the omniscience of God It means God knows everything. There is nothing that God doesn't know now in a practical sense what that means is this God is never surprised God never goes wow. I didn't see that coming Oh, we you got to blow me over with a feather on that one wow really are you kidding me God never says those kind of things God knows everything you're ever gonna say in life God knows every thought you're ever gonna think in life God knows everything you're gonna do in life already now there is nothing That you do that he doesn't already know that he already knows he already knows the end of your life Why this little hard to get but Follow me on it. God is not limited by time God is timeless you see the your concept and my concept of time happens because we're on a planet that turns around every

3:0824 hours and goes around the Sun every 365 days if you were on a different planet you would have a different concept of time and if you weren't on a planet at all You'd have a totally different concept of time because you could be timeless This is what Einstein talked about in the space time continuum God is timeless God can be in the past and in the present and in the future all at once because God isn't linear It's all the same to him. He's in the past and the present and the future at the same time I know that's kind of hard to grasp, but it's kind of like this if I were to take you to The Rose parade up in Pasadena, California on New Year's Day and if you were standing there on on the ground watching the parade all you could see is What's right in front of you? You can't see the parade that's already passed and you can't see the parade that's coming in the future All you can see is what's in front of you and that's the way we pretty much live our lives

4:10On the other hand if I were to take you up in a plane or a helicopter or a blimp and we got up real high With a different perspective you would be able to see the beginning and the end of the parade all the same time You would have from you can see the beginning of the parade and the end at the same time It's a matter of perspective. God is so high He can see everything in history He can see the beginning and the middle and the end all at the same time. It doesn't bother him Because he has a different perspective now because God knows everything will happen And it's not limited by time. We know these verses Hebrews 11 13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. He can see it all Everything is uncovered and laid bare before his eyes. So there are no secrets with God I wonder what secret you foolishly think you're hiding from God. This is Matt Rogers from Los Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang

5:13This is Bowen Yang from Los Culturistas. Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang You know when people try on new food and suddenly it's like wait That's the reaction a lot of people are having when they first try QB Mayo It's the one with the red cap and the little baby on the bottle You've probably seen it in the grocery store before and if you've ever just walked past it Some people would say that's a huge mistake because this mayo is different most mayonnaise uses whole eggs QB only uses egg yolks, which gives it this rich umami flavor It's smoother deeper and almost buttery once people try it They start putting it on everything egg sandwiches fries burgers some fans even swear by dipping pizza crust in it Once you notice it you start seeing it everywhere chefs use it restaurants use it people who really care about flavor Use it never try it grab the bottle with the red cap next time you're at the store put it on just about anything Then you'll understand QB the original Japanese mayonnaise. This is Ashley Akinetti from the almost famous podcast You ever notice you and your spouse keep saying we need to get away

6:14But you never actually plan anything that was us until we did something fun and spontaneous We went to resort pass calm. There are hundreds of hotel resorts pools and spots and private beaches that you can enjoy You can spend the day at a luxury resort pool spa massage without booking an overnight stay and listen I may have only been like 15 minutes from home But it felt like it was a whole different world and I'm thinking this is exactly what I needed So just go to resort pass calm choose your resort choose your day luxury Resort day passes start at just $1,000 Once you post your daycation people are going to ask where you are good of resort pass calm slash almost famous and use the promo code almost famous to get $20 off when you spend $100 That's code almost famous at resort pass calm slash almost famous This episode sponsored by good ranchers Most people don't realize this but over 85% of the grass fed beef sold in the US is actually imported from overseas

He knows every thought you're going to have you haven't even had those thoughts yet But he knows what you're going to think because he knows everything that will happen Psalm 139 verse 16 says this The days a lot of to me in other words my life my lifespan

8:21The days a lot of to me had all been recorded in your book Before circle before any of them ever began God already knows what's going to happen on every day of your life before you even took your first breath When you were in your mother's womb God says I already knew every detail of every second of every moment of your life By the way, this is why abortion is wrong Because abortion short circuits God's plan God's plan for your life. I didn't start the moment you take your first breath Your life began when God thought you up And when he thought you up before you ever took your first breath every day of your life was planned before you were born And so if you don't end up not being born then God's plan just got aborted. That's why it's wrong Now here's the second thing that we know second fact about the future. God's plan For my future is good

9:21God's plan for my future is good. It's not a bad plan. In fact God has no bad plans for people God is a good God and because God is a good God all of his plans are good He doesn't have any bad plans for you All of his plans for you are good one of the most famous verses in the Bible We've read it hundreds of times here at Saddleback is Jeremiah 29 11 Let's read it aloud together. Okay read it with me. I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord plans to prosper you and not harm you plans to give you hope and a future now. I want you to circle some words in this verse circle the word no God says I know I already know Everything about you and then he says I know the plan circle the word plans God has long-range plans For your life. He has a purpose for your life. He has a plan for your life

10:22I know the plans and then circle the word future God says I know the plans I have for your future Now what is this promise tells us that's a promise of God right there plans to prosper you plans not harm you to give you a hope in a future What this tells us is that God has thought more about your future than you have You may have not even given my stock your future some people have no plans for their future They're just letting life happen to them. They don't have any plans. They don't have any goals. It's just like well I kind of like to do this, but they're just kind of skating through life kind of coasting through life God has thought far more about your life than you ever have He's thought about every detail every thought every part of it and he has a plan for your life and his plan is good for you Plan to prosper you plan to give you hope a future He said well can I miss can I miss God's plan? Well, of course you can in fact most people do

11:23They miss God's plan because they choose their own plan you have to choose God's plan for your life It's not automatic You see one of the greatest gifts, but it's also A hindrance to us is the freedom to choose God didn't want to create a bunch of puppets He could have made us where we don't have any choice you couldn't choose to do bad you couldn't choose to do Other things, but he made us in his image which means he gave us free will and every day you make choices The problem is we often make bad choices And and God doesn't force you to do his plan in purpose He created you what God wanted is he didn't want puppets. He wanted children who choose to love him And you can't say it's real love unless you have the choice to not love So God says hey You could choose to love me or you can choose to not love me You could choose my plan for your life or you choose your own plan for your life You could choose this is Matt Rogers from Los culture east us with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang

13:26But you never actually plan anything that was us until we did something fun and spontaneous We went to resort past calm There are hundreds of hotel resorts pools and spots and private beaches that you can enjoy you can spend the day at a luxury resort pool spa massage without booking an overnight stay and listen I may have only been like 15 minutes from home But it felt like it was a whole different world and I'm thinking this is exactly what I needed So just go to resort past calm choose your resort choose your day luxury resort day passes Start at just $1,000 Once you post your daycation people are gonna ask where you are good of resort past calm slash almost famous and use the promo code almost famous to get $20 off when you spend $100 that's code almost famous at resort past calm slash almost famous This episode sponsored by good ranchers Most people don't realize this but over 85% of the grass-fed beef sold in the US is actually imported from overseas

15:31They miss it. You say well how in the world would anybody miss God's plan God's purpose for that one way one word pride Pride keeps people keeps you from fulfilling the purpose that God made you for because pride shows up like this I know God has planned for my life, but I think I know better than God and I think I know what will make me happy more than God So I'm gonna disobey what he says to do and I'm gonna do what I want to do. That's called pride It's pretty arrogant to think I know better than God does. I know God says this about sex But I'm gonna do it my way and I know God says this about money But I'm gonna do it my way and I know God says this about my future and my goals And I know God says you know to forgive people instead of be resentful and retaliate But I'm gonna do it my way. That's called arrogance. It's called ego. It's called pride There's only one thing that causes you to miss the purpose you were created for your own ego Your own pride you think you know better than God

16:34And this causes so much problem and instead of the plans to prosper and the plans to have hope and plans that are good plan for the future You know you end up with a mess in your life now. Let me just encourage you You can't miss God's purpose for your life if you really want it If you if you say God I'm willing to do whatever you say to do. I'm willing to trust you I don't understand it all and some of the stuff you may do may not may tell me to do may not make sense It may be politically incorrect. It may be unpopular It may be counter-tulture But I'm still gonna do it because I want your plan instead of mine If you do that you can't miss God's purpose for your life I know many of you use the daily hope devotionals as part of your regular Bible And so I want to share some exciting news We've put 365 of the best devotionals into a brand new book that we're calling the daily hope devotional

18:45God's given me a free choice And every day every moment I'm gonna I'm gonna go with God's plan or I'm gonna go with my plan I'm gonna choose what God tests me to do or I'm gonna do what I want to do I'm gonna do what The Bible says or I'm gonna do what I think is the right thing to do Or is the most convenient thing every day we're making this choice here's what the Bible says God says this in due to Deuteronomy chapter 30 verse 19 God says today I'm giving you the choice between life and death between blessings or curses and then he says I call on heaven and We're earth to witness because I want the whole all creation to witness the decision you make The choice you make I'm giving you the choice on what you're gonna do with your life And he said I want everybody in creation to witness this The choice that you're gonna make and then you can hear the this is Matt Rogers from Lost Culture East Us with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang this is Bowen Yang from Lost Culture East of Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang

19:45You know when people try on new food and suddenly it's like wait That's the reaction a lot of people are having when they first try QB mayo It's the one with the red cap and the little baby on the bottle You've probably seen it in the grocery store before and if you've ever just walked past it Some people would say that's a huge mistake because this mayo is different Most mayonnaise uses whole eggs QB only uses egg yolks which gives it this rich umami flavor It's smoother, deeper and almost buttery once people try it they start putting it on everything Examances fries burgers some fans even swear by dipping pizza crust in it once you notice it You start seeing it everywhere chefs use it restaurants use it people who really care about flavor use it never try it Grab the bottle with the red cap next time you're at the store put it on just about anything then you'll understand QB the original Japanese mayonnaise this is actually a can't eat from the almost famous podcast you ever notice you and your spouse keep saying We need to get away, but you never actually plan anything that was us until we did something fun and spontaneous

Why would anybody choose destruction death and to be separated from the god Who made you and loves you and created why would anybody do that? He says choose life Then you and your children will live he's saying that the choices you make in your life actually affect the next generation too And the blessing that I put on your life can actually be blessing your next generation in your life If you choose life, but it's up to you I'm not gonna force you to do the right thing because I want you to love me Out of free will now here's the fourth fact and then we can start looking at the promises God will be with me every step of the way In my future

22:55I don't know what it's gonna be like and I know I can't control it, but I do know this God will be with me Every step of the way. How do I know that because in the Bible One of the most repeated promises of God is this you're not gonna be alone I will never leave you. I will never forsake you. I will never abandon you I'm gonna be with you my presence will be with you. He says that hundreds of times I'm going to be with you because God made you to be connected to him Now you may not always feel God's presence, but God is not a feeling So something doesn't have to be felt for it to be real right now through this airspace There are radio waves going through it. There are TV Ray Waves going through it. They're internet waves going they're going through my body and years right now I don't feel them but they're real And if I have a receiver and I can tune in I can see the color picture that's going through me right now

23:59You don't have to feel something for it to be real. There are a lot of things that are real that you can't see You can't see protons and electrons you can't see atoms, but they're real Everything's made up of atoms And so I may not feel God. I might not sense God, but he is always with me Now that's an encouragement because although I don't know what the future holds. I do know I'm not going to face it alone and God says this in Hebrews chapter 13 verse 5 and 6 Keep your lives free from the love of money In other words, don't be greedy and be content with what you have Because God has said never will I leave you and never will I forsake you now I looked up this Greek word in the Bible never and it means never It means no way Jose never never never never never never never never not in a thousand years There's no way you're never going to be without me. I will other people may abandon you God says I won't other people

25:02Maybe tray you I won't other people may Discriminate against you I won't other people may walk out of your life God says I'm not never never never never never This is Matt Rogers from Los Cultures.

He says you we can say with oh Christians can be the most confident people when it comes to future why because the Lord is my helper I will not be afraid Because what can people do to me one plus God equals a majority And if God likes me and I like me you don't like me. What's your problem? The God says I I'll be with you and I love you So no matter what happens in your future you're not gonna go through it alone Now this comforting truth that I just shared with you is called the faithfulness of God The God is not only a good God. He is a faithful God. That means he keeps his word

29:08And he always does what's good in your life and it's part of his character. He keeps every promise Now I want you to write this down just find a spot where you can write this down in your outline If you're struggling with anxiety or worry in your life write this down every fear Is a misunderstanding of who God is and what he's promised Every fear is a misunderstanding of who God is and what he's promised If you knew what God is really like and you knew what he's really promised you wouldn't be afraid You wouldn't be anxious about the future. You wouldn't be worried or nervous about what's gonna happen tomorrow Because if you really knew who God is and what he's promised to do in your life You wouldn't be afraid Pastor buddy's gonna come and give you the first promise about your future Now because God's word is everlasting Then we know that we can trust his promises Rick said we're gonna look at his promises about your future. So here's the first one you can write down

30:13God promises to guide me when I'm confused God promises to guide me when I'm confused one thing that you can predict about your future Is that you're gonna have a lot of decisions to make You're gonna a lot of choices and some of those choices are difficult some of them are even confusing Do I take this job? Do I move to this city? Should I buy this house? Should I marry this girl? There are some big life changing decisions and a lot of times we can be confused about them We could confused because there's scary decisions And they're scary decisions because we're afraid well what what happens if I make the wrong choice And we just sort of get stuck in our confusion And we think well who can I talk to is there anybody that can help me think this through And I guess on one end you could think well I can talk to my friends, but One of the problems here is they probably think just like this is Matt Rogers from Los culture east us with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang This is Bowen Yang from Los culture east of Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang You know when people try a new food and suddenly it's like wait

They're probably as confused as you are You can look at the media talk to them, but you know good luck there their opinions change with the wind There's only one authority one authority who is always right and completely reliable and that is your creator

33:26If you want to know the purpose of of something you have to ask the inventor And God knows the purpose that he created you for here's what the Bible says in Proverbs chapter 3 look at this verse It says trust in yourself with all your heart. I'm sorry. I read that wrong I'm sorry Says trust in the Lord with all your heart. Let me ask you a question Who do you really trust deep down in your heart? He says trust in the Lord with all your heart never rely on what you think you know Remember the Lord and everything you do and he will show you the right way If you trust him with all your heart, he'll show you the right way. Why trust God? Well think about it. He created you He loves you. He knows everything about you He gave his son to die for you If God did all of those things and cares that much about you

34:29Why in the world do you think he would tell you to do something wrong? Why would he send you in a direction that was not the best for you God wants the best for you. He is completely reliable and trustworthy And he has a perspective about your life and your future that you desperately need to have It's like if you were if you're driving on a mountain road a windy mountain road and you're trying to get to the top And you're in a hurry you want to get there and then you get stuck behind some old guy in a camper Right and he's cruising along about 10 miles an hour He's in no hurry to get anywhere and he's just looking out the window and talking to his wife Hey, look over there, Mabel.
