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!

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.

“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.

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.”
