Sermon on the Mount | Real Religion | Matthew 6:1-6 | Week 8

How many of us, in this room, would admit that we've done something embarrassing that we wish no one would ever see?  Wow!  When we do something embarrassing and then later on we think about it, we still kind of feel it, right?  It's crazy because the world that we live in now everybody has a cell phone and they can take video of this stuff, so when you do something stupid, it gets recorded for posterity.  Or security footage, as a possible example.  I did something kind of embarrassing recently, and I thought the wisest thing to do is to show you guys.  You okay with that?  Take a look.  I was in a hurry to get out (of the building) one day, I needed to make a phone call.  This is security footage from our lobby.  I was trying to get this call made...   (Video shows Larry crashing into tempered glass window.)  In my defense, as I was walking toward the window, there was a woman walking out and she had this cute little blond girl who was smiling at me.  I was like, ohhh! BAM!  

For some reason, every person I showed this video to has laughed.  I'm not sure why.  I want to go back and show it in slow motion, because I want you to see just how hard my head bounced off the window.  Take a look....boom! boom! boom!  It hurt like heck and was super embarrassing.  The woman rushed in and was, "Oh my God, are you okay?"  I was not okay, but I said I was because I was embarrassed.  I was stunned and embarrassed, but it also cut my lip.  I heard my tooth hit the glass when it happened.  Beyond that, it gave me a full-blown concussion.  I spent about ten days in a fog.  I was driving a few days later---which I probably shouldn't have been, but just to give you an idea the weird stuff my brain was doing---and I turned a corner and saw a gorilla on the street corner.  I told my wife, "There's a gorilla on the street corner!"  She looked out the window and she looked back at me and was like, okaaayyy.  I looked again and it was a black street light.  My brain superimposed a gorilla some how.  If you hear me scream and run off the stage, I saw a gorilla!...
