The Best Yes

Louie Giglio
March, 3, 2019

In this message, Louie Giglio dives into the second portion of our collection, “Yes,” as we focus on when and where our “no” becomes critical because while saying “yes” can open the opportunity for blessing in our lives, it can also open the opportunity for destruction if it’s used in the wrong situation. In fact, in certain situations, our best “yes,” can actually be a “no.” So why is it so difficult to say “no?” Why is it so difficult to shut down the things that are asking for our attention when they have no right to, and how can we learn to say “no” at the right moments and in the right situations? Louie Giglio looks into these questions and more!

Lord
, walking in the way of your laws,

your name and renown

are the desire of our hearts.

1Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, left the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
2where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry.
3The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”
4Jesus answered,
“It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’
”
5The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world.
6And he said to him, “I will give you all their authority and splendor; it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to.
7If you worship me, it will all be yours.”
8Jesus answered,
“It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.’
”
9The devil led him to Jerusalem and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down from here.
10For it is written:

“ ‘He will command his angels concerning you

to guard you carefully;

11they will lift you up in their hands,

so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’”

12Jesus answered,
“It is said: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’
”
13When the devil had finished all this tempting, he left him until an opportune time.
14Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread through the whole countryside.
15He was teaching in their synagogues, and everyone praised him.
16He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. He stood up to read,
17and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:
18
“The Spirit of the Lord is on me,

because he has anointed me

to proclaim good news to the poor.

He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners

and recovery of sight for the blind,

to set the oppressed free,

19
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”
