00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:12.759
 Please pray with me.

00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:19.980
 Lord, as you have just instructed us, it is our desire and our heart and our passion at

00:00:19.980 --> 00:00:22.019
 this moment to abide fully in you.

00:00:23.400 --> 00:00:27.679
 Lord, to receive the life that you give us and to receive the very presence of the Holy

00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:35.740
 Spirit among us, that the words that I speak may be words from you, not words of men, and

00:00:35.740 --> 00:00:40.359
 that what is heard may be received as your word to us personally.

00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:42.060
 Thank you.

00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:44.899
 Thank you that you're here.

00:00:45.539 --> 00:00:48.219
 And it's in the great name of Jesus Christ that we pray.

00:00:48.519 --> 00:00:48.879
 Amen.

00:00:49.760 --> 00:00:50.739
 Please be seated.

00:00:50.879 --> 00:00:53.719
 If you have a Bible, turn to 1 Peter chapter 1.

00:00:53.719 --> 00:01:01.960
 If not, please feel free to find it on your phone as long as you have silenced that little

00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:02.960
 demon.

00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:12.319
 I want to speak directly to those who are being confirmed and received, but what I say especially

00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:17.439
 to them, I say to all of us because I want to bring you a word of encouragement from this

00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:17.799
 letter.

00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:24.019
 I have returned to 1 Peter again and again over the course of 40 years of ministry to

00:01:24.019 --> 00:01:29.899
 teach and strengthen the followers of Jesus Christ for a journey of faith in a very challenging

00:01:29.899 --> 00:01:30.979
 and resistant world.

00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:33.000
 And that's really the tone of this letter.

00:01:33.700 --> 00:01:39.979
 Peter's original purpose holds just as much today as when it was originally written.

00:01:39.980 --> 00:01:51.140
 And that is to enable us to walk steadily with confidence and clarity and purpose and hope in spite of resistance and suffering.

00:01:51.980 --> 00:02:02.080
 To live in the light of the glory of where we're headed and to allow the glory of heaven to bleed back into our present day.

00:02:02.620 --> 00:02:08.120
 So that where we are headed actually infuses where we are now.

00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:13.300
 I'd love to be able to be with you for five, six, seven weeks and walk through the whole letter.

00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:16.020
 I can only give you an appetizer, simple framework.

00:02:16.480 --> 00:02:18.700
 You might even want to jot down the notes.

00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:23.480
 Actually, if you use five words, if you jot down five words, you can have the whole outline.

00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:23.840
 Okay?

00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:28.020
 And they'll come clear as I speak and then I'll remind you at the end.

00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:30.259
 My method is simple.

00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:37.240
 This is originally a direct letter to a group of followers and I want to read it to you in a very personal manner directly to you.

00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:40.280
 These are God's living authoritative words.

00:02:40.460 --> 00:02:48.260
 And I want to, again, as we jump in, I want you to note that what Peter writes are declarations of reality.

00:02:48.659 --> 00:02:49.840
 It's an important statement.

00:02:49.980 --> 00:02:51.740
 They're declarations of reality.

00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:54.820
 They're not sort of if possibly statements.

00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:59.100
 They're kind of like if you think about this or if you feel this.

00:02:59.500 --> 00:03:06.340
 This is a very declarative passage written to you as a follower of Jesus Christ.

00:03:06.340 --> 00:03:07.360
 Verse 1.

00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:13.659
 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who are elect exiles of the dispersion.

00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:15.439
 Exiles.

00:03:16.259 --> 00:03:16.780
 Strangers.

00:03:17.020 --> 00:03:18.120
 Peculiar people.

00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:21.340
 Never meant to be fully at home in this world.

00:03:21.480 --> 00:03:33.439
 We possess an identity and a citizenship and an allegiance that sets us apart and can and does create stress at times because we are inevitably living against the grain of the world.

00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:35.539
 And that's not surprising.

00:03:35.539 --> 00:03:37.280
 Don't be surprised by that.

00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:41.500
 The nature of the exilic life is not because we're being punished.

00:03:43.259 --> 00:03:47.199
 But it's because the Father has caused us to be different people.

00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:50.379
 We have been given a new identity.

00:03:50.379 --> 00:03:55.620
 And that's noted for us as a declaration of reality in verse 3.

00:03:55.620 --> 00:03:58.620
 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:06.800
 According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:16.139
 So, if you call yourself a Christian, if you've come to believe that Jesus is Lord, if you've entrusted him as your Savior, you've experienced a new birth, right?

00:04:16.620 --> 00:04:19.500
 Births happen to be fairly definitive markers, okay?

00:04:19.500 --> 00:04:22.339
 Either you have been born or you haven't.

00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:26.579
 How many of you have been born?

00:04:28.620 --> 00:04:29.939
 Some of you haven't, apparently.

00:04:30.339 --> 00:04:31.540
 How many of you have been born?

00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:31.899
 Come on.

00:04:32.459 --> 00:04:33.279
 How do you know?

00:04:34.459 --> 00:04:35.139
 Do you know?

00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:36.740
 Are you sure?

00:04:36.740 --> 00:04:44.980
 Now, I'm going to ask another question, which apparently is also going to cover a lot of you based on the number of children that came out of here.

00:04:45.259 --> 00:04:46.660
 How many of you have given birth?

00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:49.420
 How do you know?

00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:52.519
 Are you sure?

00:04:55.900 --> 00:04:58.180
 Births are clear markers, are they not?

00:04:59.879 --> 00:05:03.460
 And Peter says to the followers of Jesus, you have been born again.

00:05:03.459 --> 00:05:10.239
 You have a second life, a new life, a spirit-generated life with the possibility of being filled and animated by the power of the Holy Spirit.

00:05:10.479 --> 00:05:11.419
 This is a beauty.

00:05:11.699 --> 00:05:13.620
 This is a miracle that has been given to us.

00:05:13.919 --> 00:05:21.060
 And Peter explains it in verses 14 through 19 that we are children of God, sharing his holiness, headed for holiness.

00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:28.060
 He has paid for us with an incalculable gift, the value of the ransom of the blood of Jesus Christ.

00:05:28.060 --> 00:05:43.540
 We are valued and beloved by the Father, and we are called to live in the grain of who we are, which is holiness, that draws us, is like true north over the course of our lives, to become more and more like what we will be in eternity.

00:05:43.540 --> 00:05:54.700
 The image of being God's child runs through the letter because then, therefore, it tells us what it means to live against the grain of the world, but with the grain of who we are.

00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:59.480
 And it tells us that we are called to be a family with others, a family of love.

00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:00.520
 That's what it means.

00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:02.340
 We're a family of worshipers.

00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:06.020
 We are to be messengers and ambassadors for Jesus Christ in the world.

00:06:06.300 --> 00:06:08.560
 We are to declare the excellencies of God.

00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:12.980
 It tells us that we are to live as givers of blessing to all we meet.

00:06:13.540 --> 00:06:17.120
 You have been blessed and gifted, therefore, pass it on.

00:06:18.260 --> 00:06:19.760
 We are to live as people of hope.

00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:25.120
 What an incredible calling and identity.

00:06:26.760 --> 00:06:27.720
 People of hope.

00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:35.400
 So if being in exile means living against the grain of the world, it also means living with the grain of who you really are.

00:06:36.620 --> 00:06:38.800
 And the letter explains that.

00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:40.820
 I'd encourage you to read it.

00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:42.660
 What's the nature of this new life?

00:06:42.660 --> 00:06:44.580
 In this first paragraph, we're given three words.

00:06:44.700 --> 00:06:49.820
 It's a new life of hope, a new life of faith, a new life of love.

00:06:51.520 --> 00:06:52.860
 But that begins with hope.

00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:56.940
 That hope is embodied in the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

00:06:57.460 --> 00:06:59.879
 Not just the promise of eternal life.

00:06:59.980 --> 00:07:01.260
 Let me just say that again.

00:07:01.259 --> 00:07:09.839
 The resurrection of Jesus from the dead is the demonstration of the fact that we're not going to have this kind of ephemeral life.

00:07:09.899 --> 00:07:11.459
 But there's a new creation coming.

00:07:11.599 --> 00:07:13.279
 A new heaven and a new earth.

00:07:13.420 --> 00:07:21.779
 And this body, this dying thing that it is, will be raised eternal, undefiled, incorruptible, no longer subject to pain or decay.

00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:23.019
 It says that right in the text.

00:07:23.019 --> 00:07:27.079
 I met a woman recently.

00:07:27.180 --> 00:07:28.299
 I'm going to call her Melanie.

00:07:28.419 --> 00:07:29.339
 That's not really her name.

00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:30.579
 And she wanted me to pray with her.

00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:35.039
 And she's really recently developed a third incurable autoimmune disease.

00:07:35.299 --> 00:07:38.039
 First, she was diagnosed several years ago with rheumatoid arthritis.

00:07:38.259 --> 00:07:40.819
 There was another one in between that I don't really know the name of.

00:07:40.819 --> 00:07:44.180
 And then a third one that I'd never heard of called Sjogren's syndrome.

00:07:44.779 --> 00:07:47.899
 Her salivary glands and tear ducts dry up.

00:07:49.060 --> 00:07:57.219
 Over time, dry mouth, difficulty swallowing, eventually inability to speak, cuts and ulcers in her mouth, constant pain.

00:07:58.019 --> 00:08:01.000
 And then her eyes eventually dry up and she goes blind.

00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:09.819
 The doctors told her that the progress of her disease in three months was equivalent to the normal progress in 10 to 15 years.

00:08:10.819 --> 00:08:13.959
 Her body has betrayed her.

00:08:14.279 --> 00:08:15.079
 It's attacking her.

00:08:16.180 --> 00:08:17.599
 And my heart weeps for her.

00:08:18.699 --> 00:08:20.300
 And it's hard to get her off my mind.

00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:24.379
 And I prayed for her and asked the Lord to give me words to pray.

00:08:24.459 --> 00:08:26.699
 And he gave me a visual image of Jesus in the tomb.

00:08:29.740 --> 00:08:33.639
 But on the beginning of the third day,

00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:40.179
 when the power of life and youthfulness and vigor overcame death,

00:08:40.179 --> 00:08:44.559
 and the processes of decay and death were literally reversed.

00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:45.979
 Imagine what it was like.

00:08:46.099 --> 00:08:52.039
 The decay and rottenness yielded to life just as surely as night yields to dawn, right?

00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:59.500
 And I'm sure Melanie at the end of the days when the resurrection comes,

00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:00.939
 she will get the new body.

00:09:00.940 --> 00:09:04.900
 But I did pray that the Lord would, by his grace,

00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:08.380
 reverse this process of decay even now in this life.

00:09:09.640 --> 00:09:10.080
 Healing.

00:09:11.040 --> 00:09:12.120
 We are people of hope.

00:09:13.640 --> 00:09:18.140
 And I don't think we've let that change our hearts and emotions as much as it can.

00:09:18.139 --> 00:09:22.179
 Hope is like the air we're meant to breathe,

00:09:22.299 --> 00:09:24.819
 the light that shines around us in which we live and move.

00:09:25.299 --> 00:09:28.159
 And I would encourage you, and I could give you a list of things,

00:09:28.379 --> 00:09:30.879
 because it's just a delight.

00:09:31.059 --> 00:09:34.360
 Think of every discouraging thing you can think of.

00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:45.180
 And find out what promises of God and what guarantees of God speak against that discouragement and offer hope.

00:09:46.019 --> 00:09:50.379
 And understand and hold on to what it means to live as a life,

00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:55.080
 a person who at the profoundest, who is able to face reality,

00:09:55.080 --> 00:10:01.920
 but see that judgment is swallowed up by mercy.

00:10:03.540 --> 00:10:07.060
 That the sound of judgment, which must ring,

00:10:07.660 --> 00:10:11.180
 is overwhelmed by an even louder peal of a bell

00:10:11.180 --> 00:10:14.500
 that is just magnificent and swallows it all up,

00:10:14.580 --> 00:10:15.759
 and it becomes mercy.

00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:22.080
 Second, verses 6 and 7, we are people of faith.

00:10:22.180 --> 00:10:24.480
 In this, you rejoice, though, for now a little while,

00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:26.680
 if necessary, you've been grieved by various trials,

00:10:26.860 --> 00:10:29.060
 so the tested genuineness of your faith,

00:10:29.420 --> 00:10:30.560
 more precious than gold,

00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:32.759
 may be found a result in praise and honor and glory

00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:34.460
 at the revelation of Jesus.

00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:38.800
 We live in assurance of the hope-filled end of things.

00:10:38.860 --> 00:10:40.360
 That's what Hebrews 11 says faith is.

00:10:40.560 --> 00:10:42.519
 Faith is the assurance of the things we hope for.

00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:44.600
 So whatever it is that you hope for,

00:10:44.680 --> 00:10:45.759
 you know, in this exercise,

00:10:45.860 --> 00:10:47.519
 look at your discouragement and answer the hope.

00:10:47.680 --> 00:10:50.039
 What are the promises that are given to that hope?

00:10:50.420 --> 00:10:51.700
 Live as people of hope.

00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:52.620
 Think about the hope.

00:10:52.620 --> 00:10:55.080
 Well, faith says that you are assured

00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:56.620
 that that hope is going to come true.

00:10:57.139 --> 00:11:01.320
 You're convinced that even though you cannot see it,

00:11:01.820 --> 00:11:02.779
 it will happen.

00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:05.220
 And the reason that we can live that way

00:11:05.220 --> 00:11:06.960
 is because we know that we have evidence

00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:09.419
 for what we already believe, guys.

00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:12.720
 We're not floating out there with no evidence.

00:11:13.060 --> 00:11:16.940
 The faith that we believe in is rooted in real history

00:11:16.940 --> 00:11:18.419
 and in real science.

00:11:18.419 --> 00:11:21.879
 We can hear stories of transformation

00:11:21.879 --> 00:11:23.759
 and change from people who've walked before us.

00:11:23.819 --> 00:11:25.179
 There's miracles and interventions

00:11:25.179 --> 00:11:27.459
 that have happened to us sitting in this room.

00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:29.199
 Tell those stories to one another.

00:11:29.479 --> 00:11:30.219
 Hold on to them.

00:11:30.339 --> 00:11:30.979
 Cling to them.

00:11:32.139 --> 00:11:34.179
 Think about the plausibility of creation,

00:11:34.319 --> 00:11:35.379
 of the nature of life,

00:11:35.479 --> 00:11:37.139
 the wonder of being a human being,

00:11:37.219 --> 00:11:39.319
 the wonder of design and interrelationship,

00:11:39.479 --> 00:11:41.000
 the echoes of beauty and love

00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:42.299
 that are seen through cultures

00:11:42.299 --> 00:11:43.819
 and through all of creation.

00:11:43.820 --> 00:11:46.480
 You know that there is more to life

00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:47.560
 than human existence

00:11:47.560 --> 00:11:48.860
 or you wouldn't be here today.

00:11:50.260 --> 00:11:53.360
 You know that there's elements like justice and truth

00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:55.660
 that you are fighting for in your jobs.

00:11:56.740 --> 00:11:59.840
 Those are not visible principles.

00:12:00.520 --> 00:12:03.040
 They express themselves in the material world,

00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:05.620
 but you know something behind it is even greater.

00:12:06.500 --> 00:12:07.180
 There is love.

00:12:07.300 --> 00:12:07.840
 There is goodness.

00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:11.100
 We understand that there are events in history

00:12:11.100 --> 00:12:14.019
 that are real, that happened.

00:12:14.280 --> 00:12:17.100
 We stake our life on the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:18.019
 It's clear as a bell.

00:12:18.340 --> 00:12:19.580
 1 Corinthians 15,

00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:21.780
 if Jesus hasn't been raised, we're fools.

00:12:23.019 --> 00:12:24.840
 But we come here every week

00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:26.920
 to enter into the present work,

00:12:27.019 --> 00:12:30.060
 the continuing work of the once-for-all sacrifice.

00:12:31.500 --> 00:12:33.379
 So what happened in history

00:12:33.379 --> 00:12:35.639
 has present reality.

00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:38.659
 What a great story we are living in.

00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:41.340
 Life has meaning and purpose.

00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:46.539
 Our faith holds that.

00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:48.559
 It will be tested.

00:12:50.419 --> 00:12:52.679
 My dear mother-in-law,

00:12:52.779 --> 00:12:53.159
 excuse me,

00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:54.120
 my dear mother-in-law,

00:12:54.580 --> 00:12:55.919
 Sally's mother, Sunshine,

00:12:56.779 --> 00:12:57.580
 Montgomery, Alabama,

00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:01.899
 honey, life is just a veil of tears.

00:13:01.899 --> 00:13:04.419
 A veil of tears,

00:13:04.419 --> 00:13:06.379
 if you didn't understand the accent, okay?

00:13:07.779 --> 00:13:08.620
 Yeah, it is.

00:13:09.959 --> 00:13:11.039
 Faith will be tested.

00:13:12.500 --> 00:13:14.720
 But it's the muscle that we exercise.

00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:16.279
 If hope is the air we breathe in

00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:17.240
 and the light we walk in,

00:13:17.500 --> 00:13:19.939
 faith is the muscles for doing this thing

00:13:19.939 --> 00:13:21.179
 called Christian life.

00:13:21.579 --> 00:13:23.399
 I'm 58 years into that journey.

00:13:25.340 --> 00:13:28.139
 And I've had plenty of fears and doubts

00:13:28.139 --> 00:13:29.460
 and battles and temptations

00:13:29.460 --> 00:13:30.559
 and addictions and failures.

00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:33.759
 But I'm here to testify to you today

00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:34.639
 that God is faithful.

00:13:35.539 --> 00:13:38.239
 God carries me every day.

00:13:38.759 --> 00:13:39.919
 And he won't quit.

00:13:40.719 --> 00:13:42.119
 And he won't quit for you either.

00:13:44.059 --> 00:13:44.459
 Finally,

00:13:44.679 --> 00:13:46.759
 this faith directs the eyes of our hearts

00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:47.279
 to Jesus,

00:13:47.419 --> 00:13:48.659
 whom we cannot physically see,

00:13:48.739 --> 00:13:49.299
 but we love.

00:13:50.619 --> 00:13:51.419
 Verse 8,

00:13:51.919 --> 00:13:53.039
 Though you have not seen him,

00:13:53.079 --> 00:13:53.619
 you love him.

00:13:53.679 --> 00:13:54.719
 Though you do not see him now,

00:13:54.779 --> 00:13:55.500
 you believe in him

00:13:55.500 --> 00:13:56.500
 and rejoice with joy

00:13:56.500 --> 00:13:57.439
 that's inexpressible

00:13:57.439 --> 00:13:58.179
 and filled with glory.

00:13:58.179 --> 00:13:58.859
 And again,

00:13:58.959 --> 00:14:01.359
 Peter's making a statement of fact,

00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:02.019
 not feeling.

00:14:02.879 --> 00:14:03.959
 You love Jesus.

00:14:05.959 --> 00:14:07.539
 Now that sounds like you might think,

00:14:07.599 --> 00:14:07.620
 well,

00:14:07.620 --> 00:14:08.359
 that's a big presumption.

00:14:08.439 --> 00:14:09.179
 I'm not so sure.

00:14:09.779 --> 00:14:10.319
 And in fact,

00:14:10.419 --> 00:14:11.019
 John 15,

00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:12.779
 if you want to know what it means to love Jesus,

00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:13.879
 dig into John 15.

00:14:13.959 --> 00:14:14.879
 That's all over that one.

00:14:14.979 --> 00:14:15.239
 Okay?

00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:18.060
 But if you believe,

00:14:18.340 --> 00:14:19.480
 if you're people of hope,

00:14:19.539 --> 00:14:20.820
 and if you hold by faith,

00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:22.100
 Peter is basically saying

00:14:22.100 --> 00:14:23.620
 that is also a life of love

00:14:23.620 --> 00:14:25.200
 because you're connected to Jesus

00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:26.820
 and you are therefore connected

00:14:26.820 --> 00:14:28.440
 to the source of eternal,

00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:29.720
 infinite love.

00:14:29.860 --> 00:14:32.019
 And it will fill your life with love.

00:14:32.100 --> 00:14:33.180
 You are walking in love,

00:14:33.419 --> 00:14:34.639
 you are living in love,

00:14:34.700 --> 00:14:36.419
 and you will be given love.

00:14:36.419 --> 00:14:39.939
 So you live a life of love.

00:14:40.439 --> 00:14:40.839
 Hope,

00:14:40.979 --> 00:14:41.179
 faith,

00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:41.620
 love.

00:14:42.379 --> 00:14:43.539
 And Peter ends it by saying,

00:14:43.599 --> 00:14:43.979
 guess what?

00:14:44.259 --> 00:14:45.059
 You add that all up

00:14:45.059 --> 00:14:45.839
 and it comes to joy.

00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:48.939
 So five words,

00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:51.019
 and I know I've run through that very quickly.

00:14:51.459 --> 00:14:54.339
 Five words give you the outline of this passage,

00:14:54.479 --> 00:14:56.059
 but it's really the outline of the whole book.

00:14:56.419 --> 00:14:57.459
 And I would encourage you

00:14:57.459 --> 00:14:59.039
 to consider these five words

00:14:59.039 --> 00:15:00.039
 and actually go back

00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:01.000
 and look at 1 Peter

00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:02.759
 in more depth in your own life.

00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:04.000
 Exiles,

00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:07.019
 hope,

00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:09.019
 faith,

00:15:10.299 --> 00:15:10.700
 love,

00:15:12.200 --> 00:15:12.559
 joy.

00:15:13.899 --> 00:15:15.559
 That is what it means

00:15:15.559 --> 00:15:16.759
 to follow Jesus.

00:15:18.659 --> 00:15:19.059
 Amen.

00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:20.980
 In the name of the Father,

00:15:21.100 --> 00:15:21.439
 the Son,

00:15:21.500 --> 00:15:22.100
 and the Holy Spirit.

00:15:22.179 --> 00:15:22.360
 Amen.

00:15:32.759 --> 00:15:34.860
 Amen.

00:15:38.819 --> 00:15:38.980
 Amen.

00:15:51.100 --> 00:15:51.319
 Amen.

00:15:51.819 --> 00:15:52.419
 Amen.

00:15:52.419 --> 00:15:52.819
 Amen.

00:15:52.819 --> 00:15:52.919

00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:01.340
 Amen.

00:16:01.340 --> 00:16:02.399
 Amen.
