00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:29.980
 Good morning.

00:00:30.379 --> 00:00:33.020
 It's good to be here. It's good to be here with you.

00:00:33.700 --> 00:00:40.039
 If you haven't figured out, during the hot days of the summer, our church has, just like SeaWorld, splash zones.

00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:42.020
 There are places where the fans blow.

00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:50.439
 So if you are dying of heat, get up, move around, find a place where you can be comfortable as we look at God's Word together.

00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:51.859
 I don't want you dying out there.

00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:53.880
 I know it's getting a little warm.

00:00:53.880 --> 00:01:00.219
 But it is a good day to be here in the house of the Lord together.

00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:03.180
 So let's rejoice in that.

00:01:03.179 --> 00:01:10.180
 You know, it's one of the best opening scenes in modern television history.

00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:16.260
 A man lying on the ground and an eye pops open.

00:01:16.260 --> 00:01:18.760
 Do you remember it?

00:01:19.180 --> 00:01:28.240
 Some of you are too young to have seen the first episode of the series Lost that was a huge hit for 10 years.

00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:31.799
 That eye belonged to Jack Shepard.

00:01:32.479 --> 00:01:42.319
 And as he raised himself up in the middle of a bamboo forest, ran frantically trying to find out where he was,

00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:49.599
 and emerged onto a beach where at first silence as he looked one way and then the other way.

00:01:50.739 --> 00:01:51.419
 Chaos.

00:01:52.139 --> 00:02:00.659
 The sound of an airplane engine whirring in the background, overwhelming everything else, screams and cries.

00:02:01.500 --> 00:02:05.459
 And you realize that Jack Shepard had just been in a plane accident.

00:02:05.459 --> 00:02:07.819
 The plane had gone down.

00:02:08.620 --> 00:02:12.400
 And Jack was emerging into this scene of chaos.

00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:14.159
 Bewildered.

00:02:14.959 --> 00:02:15.439
 Afraid.

00:02:16.620 --> 00:02:17.099
 Uncertain.

00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:18.900
 Thankful to be alive.

00:02:19.219 --> 00:02:20.039
 But confused.

00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:20.979
 What do I do now?

00:02:21.060 --> 00:02:21.780
 Where do I go?

00:02:22.079 --> 00:02:23.159
 How do I proceed?

00:02:26.459 --> 00:02:31.280
 Friends, we haven't been in an airplane crash.

00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:32.900
 I would imagine most of you.

00:02:32.979 --> 00:02:33.400
 I don't know.

00:02:33.500 --> 00:02:34.359
 Maybe someone has.

00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:39.340
 But I think that this is something that happens to us often in life.

00:02:39.980 --> 00:02:41.460
 We go through some change.

00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:42.860
 We go through some transition.

00:02:43.320 --> 00:02:45.360
 And suddenly we're in this new situation.

00:02:45.720 --> 00:02:47.240
 And we don't know where we are.

00:02:47.380 --> 00:02:48.720
 And we don't know where we're going.

00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:52.440
 And we wonder, how do we go forward from here?

00:02:53.440 --> 00:02:54.820
 What does that look like?

00:02:56.380 --> 00:02:58.800
 Some of you are starting school this week.

00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:00.180
 Maybe it's a new school.

00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:03.360
 Maybe it's a new town for you.

00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:08.320
 Some of you are heading back to elementary school or junior high or high school.

00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:14.359
 And as you walk in that first day, some of you have, some of you will do it tomorrow.

00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:18.139
 You may experience a similar disorientation.

00:03:18.139 --> 00:03:19.959
 And ask the same questions.

00:03:19.959 --> 00:03:21.000
 Why am I here?

00:03:21.139 --> 00:03:22.500
 What has brought me here?

00:03:23.099 --> 00:03:25.019
 How am I going to get through this?

00:03:27.019 --> 00:03:31.259
 And friends, it doesn't even need to take a life transition for that to happen.

00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:34.219
 Sometimes life just comes at you, doesn't it?

00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:36.579
 And brings something unexpected.

00:03:37.959 --> 00:03:39.519
 Bring something overwhelming.

00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:45.980
 And you find yourself in this place of bewilderment and fear and uncertainty.

00:03:45.979 --> 00:03:52.819
 And as we stand there, we ask the question, God, where are you?

00:03:53.399 --> 00:03:54.939
 God, why am I here?

00:03:56.039 --> 00:03:59.919
 God, how do I move forward from here?

00:04:00.259 --> 00:04:05.739
 What is it going to look like for me to move ahead from where I am right now?

00:04:05.740 --> 00:04:10.480
 Well, friends, that's where our passage this morning takes us.

00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:12.219
 We are in Acts 28.

00:04:12.700 --> 00:04:15.820
 That's page 937 in your pew Bible.

00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:21.019
 If you've not been here all summer, we are preaching through the end of the book of Acts.

00:04:21.180 --> 00:04:22.819
 And this is the penultimate sermon.

00:04:23.019 --> 00:04:24.939
 Greg will wrap it up next week.

00:04:25.340 --> 00:04:28.460
 But this week is the second to last one.

00:04:28.459 --> 00:04:39.299
 And our passage speaks to that kind of disorientation and confusion and speaks words of hope.

00:04:42.060 --> 00:04:46.919
 If you remember last week, Pastor Nick read chapter 27.

00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:51.719
 Paul is a prisoner being taken to Rome.

00:04:52.479 --> 00:04:56.279
 And he's on a ship that ultimately wrecks in the sea.

00:04:56.279 --> 00:05:05.199
 And as we begin this passage, Paul and all the people in the ship have not been saved from the storm.

00:05:05.419 --> 00:05:07.739
 They have not been saved from the shipwreck.

00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:12.599
 But through the storm and through the shipwreck, God has carried them.

00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:17.039
 And God has brought them to the beach like Jack Shepard.

00:05:18.159 --> 00:05:21.579
 Wondering, why are we here and where do we go from here?

00:05:21.579 --> 00:05:26.240
 So, let's read together Acts chapter 28.

00:05:26.479 --> 00:05:29.000
 We're going to read verses 1 through 16 together.

00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:37.560
 After we were brought safely through, we then learned that the island was called Malta.

00:05:38.180 --> 00:05:40.839
 The native people showed us unusual kindness.

00:05:41.500 --> 00:05:46.180
 For they kindled a fire and welcomed us all because it had begun to rain and was cold.

00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:50.180
 When Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and put them on the fire,

00:05:50.300 --> 00:05:53.639
 a viper came out because of the heat and fastened on his hand.

00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:59.019
 When the native people saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another,

00:05:59.500 --> 00:06:01.539
 No doubt this man is a murderer.

00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:05.879
 Though he has escaped the sea, justice has not allowed him to live.

00:06:06.779 --> 00:06:10.339
 He, however, shook off the creature into the fire and suffered no harm.

00:06:11.159 --> 00:06:15.699
 They were waiting for him to swell up or suddenly fall down dead.

00:06:15.699 --> 00:06:20.860
 But when they had waited a long time and saw no misfortune come to him,

00:06:21.219 --> 00:06:23.620
 they changed their minds and said he was a god.

00:06:24.979 --> 00:06:30.740
 Now, in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief men of the island named Publius,

00:06:30.980 --> 00:06:35.680
 who received us and entertained us hospitably for three days.

00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:40.480
 It happened that the father of Publius lay sick with fever and dysentery,

00:06:40.780 --> 00:06:45.920
 and Paul visited him and prayed and, putting his hands on him, healed him.

00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:53.060
 And when this had taken place, the rest of the people on the island who had diseases also came and were cured.

00:06:53.960 --> 00:06:55.960
 They honored us greatly.

00:06:56.180 --> 00:06:57.660
 They also honored us greatly.

00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:01.759
 And when we were about to sail, they put on board whatever we needed.

00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:06.980
 After three months, we set sail on a ship that had wintered in the island,

00:07:07.099 --> 00:07:10.319
 a ship of Alexandria with the twin gods as figurehead.

00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:14.139
 Putting in at Syracuse, we stayed there for three days.

00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:17.519
 And from then, we made a circuit and arrived at Regium.

00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:22.240
 And after one day, a south wind sprang up.

00:07:22.620 --> 00:07:24.800
 And on the second day, we came to Puteoli.

00:07:25.620 --> 00:07:29.539
 There, we found brothers and were invited to stay with them for seven days.

00:07:29.540 --> 00:07:32.400
 And so, we came to Rome.

00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:41.960
 And the brothers there, when they heard about us, came as far as the Forum of Appius and three taverns to meet us.

00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:45.860
 On seeing them, Paul thanked God and took courage.

00:07:46.400 --> 00:07:52.560
 And when we came into Rome, Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who guarded him.

00:07:53.379 --> 00:07:54.620
 Let's pray together.

00:07:54.620 --> 00:07:58.959
 Lord, we are thankful for your word.

00:07:59.379 --> 00:08:01.439
 For in it, you speak to us.

00:08:01.939 --> 00:08:07.899
 And Lord, you speak to us not only information about you or what has happened in the past.

00:08:08.139 --> 00:08:10.560
 But Lord, you speak to us words of life.

00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:13.840
 Words that are meant to encourage our souls.

00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:19.980
 To turn our gaze towards you and to see you in all your majesty and beauty.

00:08:19.980 --> 00:08:23.060
 Holy Spirit, I invite you this morning.

00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:25.520
 Help us to understand your word rightly.

00:08:25.840 --> 00:08:29.640
 And to respond as you would have us to this morning.

00:08:30.460 --> 00:08:32.019
 We pray in Jesus' name.

00:08:32.920 --> 00:08:33.259
 Amen.

00:08:34.539 --> 00:08:35.080
 Amen.

00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:40.039
 In this odd little passage,

00:08:40.820 --> 00:08:47.960
 this odd narrative stuck at the end of this long book about God's work in building his church,

00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:50.019
 what do we see?

00:08:50.580 --> 00:08:52.820
 What is there for us this morning?

00:08:52.980 --> 00:08:54.379
 I think we see this.

00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:55.820
 We see a portrait.

00:08:56.440 --> 00:09:02.200
 It is a portrait of God's provision for his people pursuing his mission.

00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:06.240
 I want to talk about two key aspects of that this morning.

00:09:06.860 --> 00:09:13.840
 I want to talk about how God, both in building the early church in Acts and still today,

00:09:14.740 --> 00:09:15.700
 God is active.

00:09:15.700 --> 00:09:20.220
 I want to talk about what it is to understand his mission

00:09:20.220 --> 00:09:25.340
 and what it is to understand his provision for his people.

00:09:25.620 --> 00:09:27.160
 This is the big picture.

00:09:27.780 --> 00:09:31.520
 God's provision for his people pursuing his mission.

00:09:33.700 --> 00:09:35.400
 You may not have noticed it.

00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:42.620
 The most important verse, I think, in the big picture of this book of Acts is verse 14.

00:09:42.620 --> 00:09:48.659
 It is actually just the very last part of verse 14.

00:09:49.460 --> 00:09:49.600
 Right?

00:09:49.980 --> 00:09:50.759
 What does it say?

00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:51.580
 Look with me.

00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:53.860
 And so we came to Rome.

00:09:55.740 --> 00:10:02.179
 This is the most exciting thing that we have seen in eight chapters in the book of Acts.

00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:05.919
 Because Paul has been trying to get here for eight chapters.

00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:06.399
 Why?

00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:06.759
 Why?

00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:11.379
 Why is that so important for Paul?

00:10:12.059 --> 00:10:19.360
 If you go back, you realize Paul had gone to Jerusalem and there had been arrested and accused.

00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:23.339
 He had been brought before various courts.

00:10:23.340 --> 00:10:30.379
 And in defending his ministry and in proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ,

00:10:30.379 --> 00:10:37.320
 he had found himself imprisoned and on this inexorable process of heading towards Rome.

00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:38.660
 He had actually appealed.

00:10:39.019 --> 00:10:41.960
 He wanted to testify before Caesar.

00:10:43.540 --> 00:10:46.540
 He'd appealed to go to Caesar so that he could testify.

00:10:46.539 --> 00:10:53.959
 And so this is in some ways the climax of this whole great narrative from the last chapters.

00:10:55.199 --> 00:11:03.439
 Now a cynic might think the big reason why Paul wanted to go to Rome is simply so that Paul could defend himself and be vindicated

00:11:03.439 --> 00:11:06.899
 and be shown to be not a rebel against the Roman Empire.

00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:13.339
 And that this is simply a theological discussion between Jews and the new believers in Jesus.

00:11:13.340 --> 00:11:16.800
 But I don't think that's all that it was.

00:11:18.060 --> 00:11:22.340
 Paul, even though he was in chains, saw Rome as an opportunity.

00:11:22.680 --> 00:11:24.519
 An opportunity for a number of things.

00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:28.680
 If you go back in Acts 27, in the middle of the chapter,

00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:30.920
 God himself comes and says,

00:11:31.420 --> 00:11:35.540
 You're going to survive this shipwreck because you will testify before Caesar.

00:11:36.560 --> 00:11:42.040
 You will tell him about the grace of God and what he has done in Jesus Christ.

00:11:43.340 --> 00:11:45.440
 So God himself reminded Paul,

00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:46.960
 This is why you're going to Rome.

00:11:47.060 --> 00:11:52.080
 So you can testify, not about your innocence, but about the work of God in Christ.

00:11:54.139 --> 00:12:00.820
 We also see from the book of Romans that Paul had long wanted to go to Rome to bless the church,

00:12:00.920 --> 00:12:04.220
 to be with them, to encourage one another.

00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:06.800
 It's what we see in Romans 1.

00:12:06.920 --> 00:12:10.660
 And in Romans 15, we see that Paul had a greater vision too.

00:12:10.659 --> 00:12:14.219
 That Paul wanted to get to Rome to encourage the brothers there,

00:12:14.299 --> 00:12:16.000
 but he wanted to go beyond that.

00:12:16.079 --> 00:12:20.500
 He wanted to take the good news of Jesus Christ beyond to Spain.

00:12:21.439 --> 00:12:25.419
 He saw Rome as the launching point for a new mission

00:12:25.419 --> 00:12:30.019
 to reach people who had never before heard about Christ.

00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:35.000
 Friends, this was Paul's mission.

00:12:35.939 --> 00:12:36.839
 And you know what?

00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:38.660
 It was a costly one, wasn't it?

00:12:40.139 --> 00:12:47.759
 It was a costly one because he wasn't going willingly to Rome at one level, was he?

00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:49.440
 He was in chains.

00:12:49.660 --> 00:12:50.620
 He was a prisoner.

00:12:50.899 --> 00:12:55.780
 He was not a free man choosing to go where he would and when he wanted to.

00:12:55.779 --> 00:13:03.100
 But he was pulled along by those who held him captive.

00:13:04.299 --> 00:13:10.579
 And in those chains, he suffered years in prison, shipwrecks.

00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:13.959
 It's pretty remarkable.

00:13:14.860 --> 00:13:18.939
 And for Paul, as he saw this cost, he thought, well, this is worth it.

00:13:19.139 --> 00:13:19.439
 Why?

00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:22.480
 Because I get to tell others about Jesus.

00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:26.399
 I get to tell others that he is not dead, but he is risen.

00:13:26.620 --> 00:13:29.060
 And that makes all the difference in the world.

00:13:30.100 --> 00:13:34.120
 And so with that sense of vision, even though the cost on his life was high,

00:13:34.279 --> 00:13:38.940
 he was able to even walk through it in an incredibly gracious way.

00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:45.840
 As he pursued this mission, strikingly in this story, he was gathering wood.

00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:47.720
 Right?

00:13:47.720 --> 00:13:50.399
 He's not thinking, okay, I've been saved.

00:13:50.500 --> 00:13:51.779
 God said I'm going to get to Rome.

00:13:51.860 --> 00:13:54.180
 I'm just going to sit back and let people take care of me.

00:13:56.160 --> 00:13:56.560
 Right?

00:13:56.680 --> 00:13:57.360
 They shipwrecked.

00:13:57.420 --> 00:13:57.980
 They were cold.

00:13:58.200 --> 00:13:59.019
 They were wet.

00:13:59.399 --> 00:14:00.340
 It had started to rain.

00:14:00.740 --> 00:14:03.500
 And so Paul goes out and he's gathering wood.

00:14:05.940 --> 00:14:09.360
 Expending himself yet more for the sake of others.

00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:15.240
 Later on in our story, in verses 8 and 9, Paul's welcomed in.

00:14:15.340 --> 00:14:18.700
 You might have thought, oh man, Publius, this is like a day at the spa.

00:14:18.980 --> 00:14:20.639
 I finally get to relax.

00:14:20.940 --> 00:14:22.320
 I get some refreshment.

00:14:22.680 --> 00:14:23.659
 Oh, this is nice.

00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:24.419
 I need a break.

00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:26.560
 But Paul didn't see that.

00:14:26.700 --> 00:14:29.259
 Paul heard, oh, his father is sick.

00:14:29.259 --> 00:14:35.019
 Let me go pray for him and ask the Lord to heal him.

00:14:36.100 --> 00:14:40.639
 And then when he did, it wasn't just him, but the whole island, all the sick people on

00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:42.340
 the island came to visit Paul.

00:14:42.539 --> 00:14:48.279
 And during his time there, he had a ministry of healing the sick.

00:14:48.279 --> 00:15:02.240
 And so we see Paul pursuing the mission that God had put on his life to testify to the grace

00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:02.839
 of God.

00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:05.220
 It is why he's on the ship.

00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:08.819
 It is why he acts the way he does towards those in this story.

00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:13.539
 I wonder, friends, what about you?

00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:20.360
 What is the mission you're on this morning?

00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:26.059
 I'm here to tell you that God has a mission for you if you will take it up.

00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:42.220
 In Acts 17, verses 26 and 27, Paul, preaching to the Athenians, quotes this remarkable statement.

00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:44.639
 He says, I'm going to paraphrase here.

00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:50.399
 He says, God has determined the places that you live and the times that you live.

00:15:51.220 --> 00:15:54.759
 God knows that you are here in New Haven today.

00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:56.600
 It's not an accident.

00:15:57.299 --> 00:16:02.379
 God has determined these things for you and he's determined them for a purpose.

00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:10.779
 A purpose that you might seek God and that you might find him for he's not far from you.

00:16:10.779 --> 00:16:18.299
 I don't know if you may be here this morning and thinking, I don't actually know why I'm in church.

00:16:18.419 --> 00:16:19.539
 I'm not usually here.

00:16:20.339 --> 00:16:21.899
 I'm exploring this.

00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:27.279
 Or maybe you're thinking, I've been going to church for a long time and I'm about ready to pull the plug.

00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:32.459
 God has you here this morning.

00:16:33.459 --> 00:16:39.379
 God has you here in New Haven so that you might seek him and you might find him.

00:16:40.779 --> 00:16:45.360
 But friends, this is just the beginning of God's great call in your life.

00:16:46.539 --> 00:16:54.799
 In 1 Peter chapter 2, Paul, I'm sorry, the apostle Peter reminds the believers that he's writing to,

00:16:54.939 --> 00:17:00.659
 ironically, probably in Rome, probably suffering great trials, he reminds them,

00:17:00.659 --> 00:17:09.079
 God has made you his special people, a chosen race, a royal people, a people belonging to him.

00:17:09.779 --> 00:17:18.440
 God has called all believers in Christ into his family, but not just so that they might be saved from the storm,

00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:21.879
 but so that they might also then, as he goes on, he says,

00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:32.900
 in order that you may declare the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness and into the kingdom of his beloved son.

00:17:36.500 --> 00:17:40.800
 This is the calling for all who claim the name of Christ,

00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:48.720
 that we should boast about our Savior,

00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:51.940
 that we would say, there is no one like him.

00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:57.599
 There is none other in the world who has been what he is for me.

00:18:00.139 --> 00:18:02.419
 This comes in joy, in worship.

00:18:02.579 --> 00:18:05.940
 It comes in testimony of this is how he's changed our lives.

00:18:05.940 --> 00:18:11.120
 It comes in the proclamation to a dying world that is losing hope,

00:18:11.420 --> 00:18:12.960
 that there is a Savior,

00:18:13.960 --> 00:18:17.059
 and he is the best thing that you will ever find.

00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:22.820
 And so, friends, he calls you

00:18:22.820 --> 00:18:25.380
 to take up this mission.

00:18:26.420 --> 00:18:28.460
 He calls you to embrace this.

00:18:31.140 --> 00:18:33.960
 Some of you are going to be in New Haven for a couple of years.

00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:37.440
 Some of you will be in New Haven for the rest of your lives.

00:18:38.140 --> 00:18:39.940
 Some of you are newly arrived.

00:18:40.360 --> 00:18:42.880
 Some of you have lived your whole life here.

00:18:44.500 --> 00:18:47.660
 The question is not actually where you are.

00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:50.920
 The question is, whose mission are you on?

00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:55.680
 God has a mission for you to know him

00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:57.380
 and to make him known.

00:19:00.180 --> 00:19:01.079
 It's easy.

00:19:01.079 --> 00:19:07.079
 It's easy for us to slide into having a very self-centered mission

00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:08.919
 for our lives.

00:19:10.259 --> 00:19:12.599
 I'm just here to get my degree and get out of here.

00:19:13.319 --> 00:19:14.919
 I don't even like the Northeast.

00:19:15.299 --> 00:19:16.619
 And it hasn't even snowed yet.

00:19:21.259 --> 00:19:22.500
 Some of you are thinking,

00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:25.799
 I know, I know, but I just got to raise my family,

00:19:26.139 --> 00:19:26.839
 earn my money,

00:19:27.379 --> 00:19:28.639
 get my ducks in order.

00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:30.960
 Eventually, I can do that, but not now.

00:19:31.060 --> 00:19:31.640
 I'm too busy.

00:19:31.960 --> 00:19:35.280
 I got too much other things to do with my life.

00:19:39.060 --> 00:19:41.500
 Friends, God says, no, this is not your mission.

00:19:43.020 --> 00:19:45.759
 He has called you here to be great students.

00:19:46.140 --> 00:19:48.940
 He has caused you here to raise your families.

00:19:49.420 --> 00:19:51.520
 Whatever your life situation here,

00:19:51.860 --> 00:19:53.440
 God has called you here.

00:19:53.440 --> 00:19:56.120
 And he wants you to honor him

00:19:56.120 --> 00:19:59.440
 in how you do those things diligently and well

00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:01.680
 and with an eye to the glory of God.

00:20:04.660 --> 00:20:06.940
 But friends, if we pursue those things

00:20:06.940 --> 00:20:10.440
 and we lose the mission of knowing God

00:20:10.440 --> 00:20:11.460
 and making him known,

00:20:11.580 --> 00:20:12.779
 we have lost our way.

00:20:12.779 --> 00:20:21.899
 Some of you may be this morning disillusioned

00:20:21.899 --> 00:20:23.440
 and weary.

00:20:24.139 --> 00:20:26.220
 You've been in the church for a long time

00:20:26.220 --> 00:20:27.680
 and you think,

00:20:27.940 --> 00:20:29.279
 I've walked that road.

00:20:29.519 --> 00:20:30.619
 I'm tired of it.

00:20:30.899 --> 00:20:31.759
 It's too hard.

00:20:31.759 --> 00:20:40.099
 We will see in just a minute

00:20:40.099 --> 00:20:42.819
 that God's provision for you is sufficient

00:20:42.819 --> 00:20:45.240
 to refresh your weary soul

00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:48.319
 and to see that though it is hard

00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:49.879
 and the cost is great,

00:20:50.680 --> 00:20:54.240
 there is no mission that is more worthwhile.

00:20:54.480 --> 00:20:55.799
 There is no higher calling

00:20:55.799 --> 00:20:58.539
 than to live for Christ and his kingdom.

00:20:58.539 --> 00:21:05.700
 Some of you may know the story

00:21:05.700 --> 00:21:07.319
 of a man named William Borden.

00:21:07.819 --> 00:21:15.599
 He was an heir to the great Borden Dairy fortune.

00:21:16.599 --> 00:21:19.279
 He came to New Haven in 1905

00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:21.220
 as a freshman at Yale.

00:21:21.839 --> 00:21:25.879
 He had every human advantage it seemed.

00:21:26.339 --> 00:21:27.839
 He was an outstanding student

00:21:27.839 --> 00:21:29.859
 becoming the president of Phi Beta Kappa.

00:21:30.179 --> 00:21:31.720
 He was an outstanding athlete

00:21:31.720 --> 00:21:35.459
 known as a rower and a sailor and a wrestler.

00:21:38.819 --> 00:21:41.220
 When he came to New Haven,

00:21:41.399 --> 00:21:43.319
 when he began his years at Yale,

00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:48.459
 he purposed that he was going to be here

00:21:48.459 --> 00:21:50.539
 for the sake of Christ and his kingdom.

00:21:50.539 --> 00:21:57.819
 He purposed to begin to pray for all of his classmates.

00:21:58.259 --> 00:21:59.319
 His sophomore year,

00:21:59.420 --> 00:22:01.599
 he gathered a few of his classmates together

00:22:01.599 --> 00:22:04.079
 and they created a systematic approach

00:22:04.079 --> 00:22:07.079
 to engaging every student in his class

00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:10.339
 so that they would know the good news of Jesus Christ.

00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:13.440
 But he didn't live with the myopic view

00:22:13.440 --> 00:22:15.779
 of just the ivory tower that he was in.

00:22:15.779 --> 00:22:18.000
 For he also lived in New Haven

00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:19.599
 when it was a great port city.

00:22:20.079 --> 00:22:22.399
 And he saw the wreckage

00:22:22.399 --> 00:22:25.440
 of the transient life of seafarers,

00:22:25.700 --> 00:22:26.639
 of sailors.

00:22:26.980 --> 00:22:28.000
 And so he started,

00:22:28.160 --> 00:22:29.720
 he walked off of campus,

00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:31.359
 down the street,

00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:33.240
 and began a ministry,

00:22:33.619 --> 00:22:34.879
 began reaching out

00:22:34.879 --> 00:22:38.180
 to men whose lives were being destroyed

00:22:38.180 --> 00:22:39.180
 by alcohol

00:22:39.180 --> 00:22:40.759
 and transience.

00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:41.519
 Transience.

00:22:43.200 --> 00:22:45.579
 He started the Yale Hope Mission.

00:22:47.920 --> 00:22:49.279
 And years later,

00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:50.359
 when he died,

00:22:50.940 --> 00:22:53.379
 as a young missionary in Egypt,

00:22:53.720 --> 00:22:54.940
 there were testimonies

00:22:54.940 --> 00:22:55.940
 that came from both

00:22:55.940 --> 00:22:57.220
 the rich and powerful

00:22:57.220 --> 00:22:59.599
 and the down and out,

00:23:01.779 --> 00:23:03.279
 declaring how this man

00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:04.359
 had lived his life

00:23:04.359 --> 00:23:07.879
 to know Christ

00:23:07.879 --> 00:23:08.879
 and to make him known

00:23:08.879 --> 00:23:10.680
 in every circumstance in life.

00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:17.200
 Some of you are students.

00:23:17.859 --> 00:23:19.200
 Go read Borden of Yale.

00:23:19.779 --> 00:23:21.119
 Go down to the bookstall.

00:23:21.420 --> 00:23:21.799
 Get it.

00:23:22.220 --> 00:23:23.200
 If you can't afford it,

00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:23.980
 just steal it.

00:23:25.220 --> 00:23:25.920
 No, really.

00:23:26.019 --> 00:23:27.000
 You can have it for free.

00:23:28.759 --> 00:23:30.220
 Go read about his life

00:23:30.220 --> 00:23:31.779
 and consider why are you here.

00:23:33.900 --> 00:23:34.759
 If you're a student

00:23:34.759 --> 00:23:36.059
 at one of the other universities,

00:23:36.299 --> 00:23:36.920
 go read it.

00:23:37.379 --> 00:23:38.279
 It's still applicable.

00:23:38.900 --> 00:23:39.460
 And you know what?

00:23:39.460 --> 00:23:40.640
 If you're not a student,

00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:43.819
 think about this.

00:23:43.900 --> 00:23:45.140
 It may not be

00:23:45.140 --> 00:23:46.120
 your classmates

00:23:46.120 --> 00:23:47.079
 and your campus.

00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:48.779
 It may be your workplace

00:23:48.779 --> 00:23:50.319
 and your cubicle workers.

00:23:50.500 --> 00:23:52.240
 It may be the other moms

00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:53.100
 and the play date.

00:23:53.440 --> 00:23:54.840
 It may be the friends

00:23:54.840 --> 00:23:55.759
 you hang out with

00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:56.740
 on Friday nights.

00:23:59.120 --> 00:24:01.240
 Whatever your circumstances are,

00:24:01.240 --> 00:24:03.240
 it may be the other ones

00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:04.400
 It will be your neighbors

00:24:04.400 --> 00:24:05.220
 for sure.

00:24:05.559 --> 00:24:06.519
 Who do you live near?

00:24:06.819 --> 00:24:08.140
 Wherever you are,

00:24:08.640 --> 00:24:09.440
 this is what God

00:24:09.440 --> 00:24:10.420
 has called you for.

00:24:12.420 --> 00:24:12.859
 Friends,

00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:14.240
 will you take up this mission?

00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:16.539
 Will you figure out

00:24:16.539 --> 00:24:18.339
 what your Rome is?

00:24:18.339 --> 00:24:25.399
 Having seen then clearly

00:24:25.399 --> 00:24:27.000
 what the mission of God is

00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:27.579
 for Paul

00:24:27.579 --> 00:24:28.639
 and then for us,

00:24:29.139 --> 00:24:31.439
 probably some of you

00:24:31.439 --> 00:24:31.759
 are thinking,

00:24:31.899 --> 00:24:32.699
 how do I get there?

00:24:32.839 --> 00:24:33.500
 What do I do?

00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:33.939
 How do I?

00:24:34.099 --> 00:24:35.099
 I can't do that.

00:24:35.159 --> 00:24:36.740
 That's completely overwhelming.

00:24:37.619 --> 00:24:38.379
 Well, friends,

00:24:38.459 --> 00:24:39.579
 this is the good news

00:24:39.579 --> 00:24:40.480
 of this passage.

00:24:40.899 --> 00:24:41.879
 Because Paul

00:24:41.879 --> 00:24:43.159
 was not only called

00:24:43.159 --> 00:24:44.399
 on a mission by God

00:24:44.399 --> 00:24:45.559
 as we are,

00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:47.980
 but Paul saw God

00:24:47.980 --> 00:24:48.980
 provide for him

00:24:48.980 --> 00:24:51.019
 every step of the way

00:24:51.019 --> 00:24:54.240
 and provided in surprising

00:24:54.240 --> 00:24:56.940
 and a great variety of ways

00:24:56.940 --> 00:25:00.179
 that some may be more common

00:25:00.179 --> 00:25:01.000
 or less common

00:25:01.000 --> 00:25:02.940
 but it's striking

00:25:02.940 --> 00:25:04.799
 how broad and rich

00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:06.179
 God's provision is

00:25:06.179 --> 00:25:07.440
 for his people.

00:25:09.019 --> 00:25:09.700
 These stories

00:25:09.700 --> 00:25:10.940
 that we read this morning

00:25:10.940 --> 00:25:13.399
 have a number of them.

00:25:13.519 --> 00:25:14.879
 Let's look at a few of them quickly.

00:25:14.880 --> 00:25:16.400
 The first one is that

00:25:16.400 --> 00:25:19.680
 we see God displaying

00:25:19.680 --> 00:25:21.320
 a supernatural power

00:25:21.320 --> 00:25:22.880
 on behalf of Paul

00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:23.740
 and his ministry.

00:25:24.880 --> 00:25:25.020
 Right?

00:25:25.340 --> 00:25:26.880
 This incredible scene

00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:27.620
 with the viper.

00:25:28.080 --> 00:25:28.260
 Right?

00:25:29.040 --> 00:25:29.520
 Paul's,

00:25:30.620 --> 00:25:32.480
 it's such an odd story,

00:25:32.560 --> 00:25:32.900
 isn't it?

00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:33.600
 I mean, really.

00:25:33.840 --> 00:25:34.760
 You're just reading along

00:25:34.760 --> 00:25:35.680
 and suddenly Paul's

00:25:35.680 --> 00:25:36.480
 collecting wood

00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:37.320
 and there's this viper

00:25:37.320 --> 00:25:38.620
 and, you know,

00:25:38.960 --> 00:25:40.000
 you read the commentaries

00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:40.320
 and they're like,

00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:41.260
 well, there aren't any

00:25:41.260 --> 00:25:43.940
 vipers on Malta today

00:25:43.940 --> 00:25:45.240
 so this must not be true.

00:25:45.320 --> 00:25:45.840
 Well, you know what?

00:25:45.900 --> 00:25:46.620
 2,000 years,

00:25:46.720 --> 00:25:47.500
 it's a small island

00:25:47.500 --> 00:25:48.240
 with lots of people.

00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:49.620
 They probably killed them all.

00:25:50.140 --> 00:25:51.200
 It's not that hard.

00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:56.140
 But the fact is,

00:25:56.640 --> 00:25:58.320
 it seemed,

00:25:58.400 --> 00:25:59.860
 as you read the narrative

00:25:59.860 --> 00:26:01.580
 of verses 4 through 6,

00:26:01.960 --> 00:26:03.360
 the natives saw the viper

00:26:03.360 --> 00:26:04.200
 and they knew

00:26:04.200 --> 00:26:05.539
 Paul had been bitten

00:26:05.539 --> 00:26:06.720
 and he's going to die.

00:26:07.340 --> 00:26:07.620
 Right?

00:26:07.619 --> 00:26:08.719
 So they knew

00:26:08.719 --> 00:26:10.199
 there were poisonous snakes

00:26:10.199 --> 00:26:10.839
 on the island

00:26:10.839 --> 00:26:12.059
 and they knew exactly

00:26:12.059 --> 00:26:13.319
 how bad it was.

00:26:15.699 --> 00:26:17.379
 And Luke doesn't even bother

00:26:17.379 --> 00:26:19.059
 to explain it very much.

00:26:19.259 --> 00:26:19.919
 He didn't say,

00:26:20.159 --> 00:26:21.559
 and God shone a light

00:26:21.559 --> 00:26:22.399
 upon Paul

00:26:22.399 --> 00:26:23.500
 and there was a great

00:26:23.500 --> 00:26:25.339
 display of light

00:26:25.339 --> 00:26:25.979
 and angels.

00:26:26.199 --> 00:26:26.779
 None of that.

00:26:26.839 --> 00:26:27.379
 He just says,

00:26:27.719 --> 00:26:29.799
 and Paul shook the snake

00:26:29.799 --> 00:26:30.519
 into the fire

00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:31.379
 and it burned up.

00:26:31.879 --> 00:26:32.839
 And they all waited

00:26:32.839 --> 00:26:33.579
 for him to die

00:26:33.579 --> 00:26:34.319
 and he didn't.

00:26:34.319 --> 00:26:38.519
 And the testimony

00:26:38.519 --> 00:26:40.279
 to these natives,

00:26:40.779 --> 00:26:43.000
 the word here,

00:26:43.179 --> 00:26:43.519
 natives,

00:26:43.679 --> 00:26:45.139
 it's so easy for that

00:26:45.139 --> 00:26:46.399
 to have a pejorative sense.

00:26:46.700 --> 00:26:47.779
 It originally just meant

00:26:47.779 --> 00:26:48.879
 people who weren't

00:26:48.879 --> 00:26:49.500
 Greek speaking.

00:26:49.899 --> 00:26:50.839
 So that's all it means.

00:26:51.279 --> 00:26:52.799
 The Maltese had their own

00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:54.259
 culture and language

00:26:54.259 --> 00:26:56.159
 and it was not like

00:26:56.159 --> 00:26:56.899
 a barbaric

00:26:56.899 --> 00:26:58.659
 or backwards society.

00:26:59.200 --> 00:27:00.179
 But they did have

00:27:00.179 --> 00:27:00.919
 their own beliefs

00:27:00.919 --> 00:27:01.939
 and superstitions.

00:27:02.740 --> 00:27:03.939
 And they believed,

00:27:03.940 --> 00:27:04.460
 oh,

00:27:04.620 --> 00:27:05.640
 the viper came out.

00:27:05.860 --> 00:27:06.920
 Clearly our God

00:27:06.920 --> 00:27:07.900
 is bringing justice

00:27:07.900 --> 00:27:09.700
 on this unrighteous man.

00:27:10.039 --> 00:27:11.380
 And God uses

00:27:11.380 --> 00:27:13.059
 even that misunderstanding

00:27:13.059 --> 00:27:14.299
 about the nature

00:27:14.299 --> 00:27:15.440
 of the spiritual world

00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:17.279
 and turns it on its head.

00:27:18.580 --> 00:27:19.840
 And suddenly Paul

00:27:19.840 --> 00:27:21.980
 is justified before them

00:27:21.980 --> 00:27:23.039
 and his ministry

00:27:23.039 --> 00:27:24.660
 is exalted.

00:27:25.059 --> 00:27:26.299
 Now he still has to clarify

00:27:26.299 --> 00:27:27.120
 just like he did

00:27:27.120 --> 00:27:28.220
 in some other seasons

00:27:28.220 --> 00:27:28.680
 in Acts.

00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:29.180
 Look,

00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:30.240
 I'm not a God

00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:31.519
 but I serve the true

00:27:31.519 --> 00:27:32.500
 and the living God

00:27:32.500 --> 00:27:33.779
 who has delivered me

00:27:33.779 --> 00:27:34.940
 today just as he's

00:27:34.940 --> 00:27:35.420
 delivered me

00:27:35.420 --> 00:27:36.619
 from so many other things

00:27:36.619 --> 00:27:38.099
 so that I might tell you

00:27:38.099 --> 00:27:38.799
 about Christ.

00:27:41.700 --> 00:27:42.559
 And then

00:27:42.559 --> 00:27:44.119
 he gets this

00:27:44.119 --> 00:27:45.140
 great hospitality,

00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:46.440
 walks into this man's house

00:27:46.440 --> 00:27:47.880
 and his father-in-law

00:27:47.880 --> 00:27:48.359
 is sick

00:27:48.359 --> 00:27:49.079
 and he probably had

00:27:49.079 --> 00:27:49.720
 something called

00:27:49.720 --> 00:27:50.640
 Maltese fever

00:27:50.640 --> 00:27:52.619
 which was a unique

00:27:52.619 --> 00:27:54.339
 disease that was

00:27:54.339 --> 00:27:55.160
 caused from the

00:27:55.160 --> 00:27:56.299
 milk of goats

00:27:56.299 --> 00:27:57.779
 on that island

00:27:57.779 --> 00:27:58.660
 that was discovered

00:27:58.660 --> 00:28:00.319
 in the 20th century

00:28:00.319 --> 00:28:01.559
 and therefore eradicated

00:28:01.559 --> 00:28:02.339
 but before then

00:28:02.339 --> 00:28:03.220
 this bug got in

00:28:03.220 --> 00:28:04.339
 and it killed people.

00:28:04.980 --> 00:28:05.759
 Fever and dysentery

00:28:05.759 --> 00:28:07.039
 were sort of descriptors

00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:07.700
 of this thing

00:28:07.700 --> 00:28:09.740
 that still existed

00:28:09.740 --> 00:28:10.559
 for a long time

00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:11.099
 after that.

00:28:12.319 --> 00:28:13.639
 And Paul walks in

00:28:13.639 --> 00:28:14.740
 and he prays

00:28:14.740 --> 00:28:16.899
 and he's healed.

00:28:18.419 --> 00:28:19.480
 And strikingly

00:28:19.480 --> 00:28:20.500
 if you're a student

00:28:20.500 --> 00:28:22.460
 of the big arc

00:28:22.460 --> 00:28:24.720
 of the Luke-Acts narrative

00:28:24.720 --> 00:28:25.799
 that Luke has written

00:28:25.799 --> 00:28:26.599
 for us to know

00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:29.179
 in Luke 4

00:28:29.179 --> 00:28:30.659
 Jesus walks into

00:28:30.659 --> 00:28:31.639
 Peter's house

00:28:31.639 --> 00:28:32.740
 and heals

00:28:32.740 --> 00:28:35.240
 Peter's mother-in-law.

00:28:35.559 --> 00:28:36.980
 Here Paul walks in

00:28:36.980 --> 00:28:37.579
 and heals

00:28:37.579 --> 00:28:38.919
 another man's

00:28:38.919 --> 00:28:40.000
 father.

00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:42.299
 But they're strikingly

00:28:42.299 --> 00:28:42.639
 different

00:28:42.639 --> 00:28:43.799
 because Jesus

00:28:43.799 --> 00:28:44.459
 comes in

00:28:44.459 --> 00:28:45.099
 and he says

00:28:45.099 --> 00:28:46.179
 I'm going to do this

00:28:46.179 --> 00:28:48.559
 so that you will know

00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:49.379
 who I am.

00:28:50.039 --> 00:28:51.339
 But when Paul walks in

00:28:51.339 --> 00:28:51.679
 he says

00:28:51.679 --> 00:28:52.699
 I'm going to do this

00:28:52.699 --> 00:28:53.399
 and I'm going to pray

00:28:53.399 --> 00:28:53.779
 to God

00:28:53.779 --> 00:28:54.459
 so that you know

00:28:54.459 --> 00:28:55.359
 what kind of God

00:28:55.359 --> 00:28:56.079
 I serve.

00:28:56.599 --> 00:28:57.339
 And there's this

00:28:57.339 --> 00:28:58.740
 striking distinction

00:28:58.740 --> 00:29:00.719
 between those two things.

00:29:02.159 --> 00:29:02.959
 And in the middle

00:29:02.959 --> 00:29:04.079
 of what do we see?

00:29:04.159 --> 00:29:05.019
 We see Paul

00:29:05.019 --> 00:29:06.599
 we see God

00:29:06.599 --> 00:29:07.579
 overturning

00:29:07.579 --> 00:29:08.759
 the natural order

00:29:08.759 --> 00:29:09.259
 of things.

00:29:09.539 --> 00:29:11.059
 Poison usually kills.

00:29:11.579 --> 00:29:12.359
 Maltese fever

00:29:12.359 --> 00:29:13.480
 usually dies.

00:29:13.859 --> 00:29:14.240
 And yet

00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:15.179
 the God

00:29:15.179 --> 00:29:16.039
 who Paul serves

00:29:16.039 --> 00:29:16.539
 is a God

00:29:16.539 --> 00:29:17.559
 who brings life.

00:29:18.219 --> 00:29:18.919
 And the message

00:29:18.919 --> 00:29:19.619
 that he brings

00:29:19.619 --> 00:29:21.399
 is one of eternal life.

00:29:22.339 --> 00:29:22.619
 And so

00:29:22.619 --> 00:29:23.240
 these supernatural

00:29:23.240 --> 00:29:24.279
 things happen

00:29:24.279 --> 00:29:26.619
 so that Paul's

00:29:26.619 --> 00:29:27.180
 message

00:29:27.180 --> 00:29:28.000
 is vindicated

00:29:28.000 --> 00:29:29.480
 and so that people

00:29:29.480 --> 00:29:30.119
 will listen

00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:31.240
 to him.

00:29:34.940 --> 00:29:35.420
 Friends

00:29:35.420 --> 00:29:36.000
 do we look

00:29:36.000 --> 00:29:36.399
 for God

00:29:36.399 --> 00:29:36.799
 to work

00:29:36.799 --> 00:29:37.319
 in supernatural

00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:38.379
 ways today?

00:29:39.680 --> 00:29:40.339
 I think

00:29:40.339 --> 00:29:40.980
 it's so easy

00:29:40.980 --> 00:29:41.399
 for us

00:29:41.399 --> 00:29:41.980
 to deny

00:29:41.980 --> 00:29:42.639
 that he does

00:29:42.639 --> 00:29:43.039
 this

00:29:43.039 --> 00:29:45.220
 or to think

00:29:45.220 --> 00:29:45.819
 well he doesn't

00:29:45.819 --> 00:29:46.480
 do it on my

00:29:46.480 --> 00:29:47.180
 timetable

00:29:47.180 --> 00:29:48.359
 so I'm just

00:29:48.359 --> 00:29:48.779
 not going to

00:29:48.779 --> 00:29:49.460
 believe in that

00:29:49.460 --> 00:29:49.960
 because I don't

00:29:49.960 --> 00:29:50.720
 want to be

00:29:50.720 --> 00:29:51.319
 disappointed.

00:29:51.319 --> 00:29:53.740
 friends

00:29:53.740 --> 00:29:54.059
 God

00:29:54.059 --> 00:29:55.079
 has

00:29:55.079 --> 00:29:55.779
 and God

00:29:55.779 --> 00:29:56.399
 is doing

00:29:56.399 --> 00:29:57.019
 works like

00:29:57.019 --> 00:29:57.659
 this today

00:29:57.659 --> 00:29:58.720
 to validate

00:29:58.720 --> 00:29:59.539
 the ongoing

00:29:59.539 --> 00:30:00.339
 spread of the

00:30:00.339 --> 00:30:00.720
 mission

00:30:00.720 --> 00:30:02.059
 the message

00:30:02.059 --> 00:30:02.599
 of Jesus

00:30:02.599 --> 00:30:03.139
 Christ

00:30:03.139 --> 00:30:03.519
 and him

00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:04.039
 crucified.

00:30:04.539 --> 00:30:05.099
 God

00:30:05.099 --> 00:30:05.599
 continues

00:30:05.599 --> 00:30:06.099
 to do

00:30:06.099 --> 00:30:06.740
 these things

00:30:06.740 --> 00:30:07.179
 today

00:30:07.179 --> 00:30:07.619
 in our

00:30:07.619 --> 00:30:08.059
 world.

00:30:09.299 --> 00:30:10.079
 But friends

00:30:10.079 --> 00:30:10.439
 I also

00:30:10.439 --> 00:30:10.899
 want us

00:30:10.899 --> 00:30:11.220
 to make

00:30:11.220 --> 00:30:11.599
 sure that

00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:12.059
 we don't

00:30:12.059 --> 00:30:12.379
 look

00:30:12.379 --> 00:30:12.939
 for

00:30:12.939 --> 00:30:13.519
 supernatural

00:30:13.519 --> 00:30:14.859
 things

00:30:14.859 --> 00:30:15.960
 only in

00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:16.299
 these

00:30:16.299 --> 00:30:17.000
 most

00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:17.559
 overt

00:30:17.559 --> 00:30:18.339
 and obvious

00:30:18.339 --> 00:30:18.899
 ways.

00:30:18.900 --> 00:30:20.320
 as I

00:30:20.320 --> 00:30:20.480
 have

00:30:20.480 --> 00:30:20.720
 thought

00:30:20.720 --> 00:30:21.000
 about

00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:21.320
 this

00:30:21.320 --> 00:30:21.740
 friends

00:30:21.740 --> 00:30:23.980
 is not

00:30:23.980 --> 00:30:25.120
 forgiving

00:30:25.120 --> 00:30:25.600
 someone

00:30:25.600 --> 00:30:26.080
 who has

00:30:26.080 --> 00:30:26.500
 deeply

00:30:26.500 --> 00:30:26.840
 hurt

00:30:26.840 --> 00:30:27.120
 you

00:30:27.120 --> 00:30:29.220
 or

00:30:29.220 --> 00:30:30.300
 resisting

00:30:30.300 --> 00:30:30.759
 a

00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:31.360
 temptation

00:30:31.360 --> 00:30:32.940
 to

00:30:32.940 --> 00:30:33.540
 fill

00:30:33.540 --> 00:30:34.700
 the

00:30:34.700 --> 00:30:35.160
 hungry

00:30:35.160 --> 00:30:36.060
 hole

00:30:36.060 --> 00:30:36.500
 in your

00:30:36.500 --> 00:30:36.860
 heart

00:30:36.860 --> 00:30:37.540
 with

00:30:37.540 --> 00:30:37.980
 some

00:30:37.980 --> 00:30:38.880
 worldly

00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:39.560
 promise

00:30:39.560 --> 00:30:40.080
 of

00:30:40.080 --> 00:30:40.560
 fulfillment

00:30:40.560 --> 00:30:43.680
 or

00:30:43.680 --> 00:30:44.200
 simply

00:30:44.200 --> 00:30:44.720
 acting

00:30:44.720 --> 00:30:45.460
 kindly

00:30:45.460 --> 00:30:45.900
 to

00:30:45.900 --> 00:30:46.460
 someone

00:30:46.460 --> 00:30:47.180
 where

00:30:47.180 --> 00:30:47.380
 you

00:30:47.380 --> 00:30:47.559
 will

00:30:47.559 --> 00:30:47.759
 gain

00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:47.980
 no

00:30:47.980 --> 00:30:48.460
 benefit

00:30:48.460 --> 00:30:48.819
 from

00:30:48.819 --> 00:30:49.019
 it.

00:30:49.600 --> 00:30:49.960
 Are

00:30:49.960 --> 00:30:50.279
 these

00:30:50.279 --> 00:30:50.539
 not

00:30:50.539 --> 00:30:50.920
 also

00:30:50.920 --> 00:30:51.600
 supernatural?

00:30:52.600 --> 00:30:53.180
 Are

00:30:53.180 --> 00:30:53.460
 these

00:30:53.460 --> 00:30:53.700
 not

00:30:53.700 --> 00:30:54.160
 also

00:30:54.160 --> 00:30:54.640
 things

00:30:54.640 --> 00:30:55.240
 that

00:30:55.240 --> 00:30:55.480
 do

00:30:55.480 --> 00:30:55.700
 not

00:30:55.700 --> 00:30:56.120
 happen

00:30:56.120 --> 00:30:56.559
 outside

00:30:56.559 --> 00:30:56.900
 of

00:30:56.900 --> 00:30:57.039
 the

00:30:57.039 --> 00:30:57.279
 work

00:30:57.279 --> 00:30:57.440
 of

00:30:57.440 --> 00:30:57.720
 God

00:30:57.720 --> 00:30:57.900
 in

00:30:57.900 --> 00:30:58.059
 our

00:30:58.059 --> 00:30:58.539
 lives?

00:31:00.500 --> 00:31:01.059
 So

00:31:01.059 --> 00:31:01.420
 friends

00:31:01.420 --> 00:31:01.860
 let us

00:31:01.860 --> 00:31:02.240
 not

00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:02.720
 sit

00:31:02.720 --> 00:31:02.900
 and

00:31:02.900 --> 00:31:03.120
 wait

00:31:03.120 --> 00:31:03.319
 for

00:31:03.319 --> 00:31:03.559
 God

00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:03.759
 to

00:31:03.759 --> 00:31:04.019
 part

00:31:04.019 --> 00:31:04.240
 the

00:31:04.240 --> 00:31:04.460
 Red

00:31:04.460 --> 00:31:04.920
 Sea

00:31:04.920 --> 00:31:08.559
 when

00:31:08.559 --> 00:31:08.720
 he

00:31:08.720 --> 00:31:09.059
 actually

00:31:09.059 --> 00:31:09.500
 simply

00:31:09.500 --> 00:31:09.819
 wants

00:31:09.819 --> 00:31:10.000
 to

00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:10.220
 make

00:31:10.220 --> 00:31:10.440
 us

00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:11.019
 patient

00:31:11.019 --> 00:31:12.319
 instead.

00:31:12.940 --> 00:31:13.460
 Both

00:31:13.460 --> 00:31:13.640
 of

00:31:13.640 --> 00:31:13.799
 them

00:31:13.799 --> 00:31:13.980
 are

00:31:13.980 --> 00:31:14.559
 supernatural

00:31:14.559 --> 00:31:15.079
 in

00:31:15.079 --> 00:31:15.420
 God's

00:31:15.420 --> 00:31:15.660
 work

00:31:15.660 --> 00:31:15.799
 in

00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:15.960
 our

00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:16.400
 lives.

00:31:16.460 --> 00:31:17.480
 And

00:31:17.480 --> 00:31:17.600
 we

00:31:17.600 --> 00:31:17.740
 need

00:31:17.740 --> 00:31:17.840
 to

00:31:17.840 --> 00:31:18.220
 embrace

00:31:18.220 --> 00:31:18.460
 a

00:31:18.460 --> 00:31:18.900
 broad

00:31:18.900 --> 00:31:19.200
 view

00:31:19.200 --> 00:31:19.360
 of

00:31:19.360 --> 00:31:19.500
 how

00:31:19.500 --> 00:31:19.779
 God

00:31:19.779 --> 00:31:20.200
 works

00:31:20.200 --> 00:31:21.380
 to

00:31:21.380 --> 00:31:21.680
 help

00:31:21.680 --> 00:31:21.960
 us.

00:31:23.160 --> 00:31:23.799
 He

00:31:23.799 --> 00:31:24.059
 comes

00:31:24.059 --> 00:31:24.480
 alongside

00:31:24.480 --> 00:31:24.779
 of

00:31:24.779 --> 00:31:24.940
 us

00:31:24.940 --> 00:31:25.039
 and

00:31:25.039 --> 00:31:25.500
 enables

00:31:25.500 --> 00:31:25.740
 us

00:31:25.740 --> 00:31:25.940
 to

00:31:25.940 --> 00:31:26.120
 do

00:31:26.120 --> 00:31:26.460
 this.

00:31:28.220 --> 00:31:28.880
 So

00:31:28.880 --> 00:31:29.039
 we

00:31:29.039 --> 00:31:29.259
 see

00:31:29.259 --> 00:31:29.700
 God's

00:31:29.700 --> 00:31:30.220
 supernatural

00:31:30.220 --> 00:31:30.799
 work

00:31:30.799 --> 00:31:31.660
 helping

00:31:31.660 --> 00:31:32.100
 Paul

00:31:32.100 --> 00:31:32.299
 and

00:31:32.299 --> 00:31:32.600
 helping

00:31:32.600 --> 00:31:33.039
 us

00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:33.600
 in

00:31:33.600 --> 00:31:33.759
 our

00:31:33.759 --> 00:31:34.120
 mission.

00:31:34.900 --> 00:31:35.120
 The

00:31:35.120 --> 00:31:35.360
 second

00:31:35.360 --> 00:31:35.579
 thing

00:31:35.579 --> 00:31:35.720
 we

00:31:35.720 --> 00:31:35.960
 see

00:31:35.960 --> 00:31:36.100
 is

00:31:36.100 --> 00:31:36.279
 the

00:31:36.279 --> 00:31:36.680
 kindness

00:31:36.680 --> 00:31:36.980
 of

00:31:36.980 --> 00:31:37.559
 strangers.

00:31:38.740 --> 00:31:38.940
 I

00:31:38.940 --> 00:31:39.259
 love

00:31:39.259 --> 00:31:39.559
 verse

00:31:39.559 --> 00:31:40.000
 two.

00:31:40.860 --> 00:31:40.980
 The

00:31:40.980 --> 00:31:41.200
 native

00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:41.539
 people

00:31:41.539 --> 00:31:41.860
 showed

00:31:41.860 --> 00:31:42.059
 us

00:31:42.059 --> 00:31:42.799
 unusual

00:31:42.799 --> 00:31:43.400
 kindness.

00:31:43.579 --> 00:31:43.700
 The

00:31:43.700 --> 00:31:44.100
 original

00:31:44.100 --> 00:31:44.519
 actually

00:31:44.519 --> 00:31:44.980
 reads

00:31:44.980 --> 00:31:45.740
 showed

00:31:45.740 --> 00:31:45.980
 us

00:31:45.980 --> 00:31:46.339
 no

00:31:46.339 --> 00:31:46.960
 small

00:31:46.960 --> 00:31:47.460
 kindness

00:31:47.460 --> 00:31:47.920
 which is

00:31:47.920 --> 00:31:48.400
 a beautiful

00:31:48.400 --> 00:31:48.860
 way of

00:31:48.860 --> 00:31:49.099
 saying

00:31:49.099 --> 00:31:50.039
 we were

00:31:50.039 --> 00:31:50.660
 overwhelmed.

00:31:50.660 --> 00:31:51.039
 It was

00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:51.640
 abundant

00:31:51.640 --> 00:31:52.319
 in the

00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:52.680
 kindness.

00:31:54.180 --> 00:31:54.259
 And

00:31:54.259 --> 00:31:54.579
 remember

00:31:54.579 --> 00:31:55.000
 where we

00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:55.400
 started.

00:31:55.940 --> 00:31:56.120
 These

00:31:56.120 --> 00:31:56.539
 guys have

00:31:56.539 --> 00:31:57.000
 just been

00:31:57.000 --> 00:31:57.759
 shipwrecked

00:31:57.759 --> 00:31:58.120
 on an

00:31:58.120 --> 00:31:58.579
 unknown

00:31:58.579 --> 00:31:59.059
 island.

00:32:00.059 --> 00:32:00.259
 They

00:32:00.259 --> 00:32:00.620

00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:09.279

00:32:12.099 --> 00:32:12.480
 They

00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:12.679
 might

00:32:17.279 --> 00:32:17.839
 But

00:32:17.839 --> 00:32:18.039

00:32:24.359 --> 00:32:24.459

 it's

00:36:45.320 --> 00:36:45.599

00:39:16.940 --> 00:39:17.219
 really

00:39:17.219 --> 00:39:17.440
 what

 want

00:39:17.879 --> 00:39:21.659
 friends

00:39:21.799 --> 00:39:21.980
 want

00:39:21.980 --> 00:39:22.099
 to

00:39:22.099 --> 00:39:22.299
 tell

00:39:22.299 --> 00:39:22.500
 you

00:39:25.659 --> 00:39:26.019
 as one

00:39:26.019 --> 00:39:26.279
 of the

00:39:26.279 --> 00:39:26.859
 primary

00:39:26.859 --> 00:39:27.539
 ways

00:39:27.539 --> 00:39:28.359
 for us

00:39:28.359 --> 00:39:28.879
 to pursue

00:39:28.879 --> 00:39:29.379
 the mission

00:39:29.379 --> 00:39:29.719
 that he's

00:39:29.719 --> 00:39:30.139
 called us

00:39:30.139 --> 00:39:30.339
 to

00:39:30.339 --> 00:39:31.920
 we

00:39:31.920 --> 00:39:32.299
 can't

00:39:32.299 --> 00:39:32.639
 do it

00:39:32.639 --> 00:39:33.019
 alone

00:39:33.019 --> 00:39:33.279
 we

00:39:33.279 --> 00:39:33.779
 truly

00:39:33.779 --> 00:39:34.480
 can't

00:39:34.480 --> 00:39:44.659
 I

00:39:44.659 --> 00:39:45.019
 can't

00:39:45.019 --> 00:39:45.279
 tell

00:39:45.279 --> 00:39:45.599
 you

00:39:45.599 --> 00:39:47.199
 how

00:39:47.199 --> 00:39:47.579
 much

00:39:47.579 --> 00:39:48.399
 being

00:39:48.399 --> 00:39:48.940
 here

00:39:48.940 --> 00:39:50.699
 was an

00:39:50.699 --> 00:39:51.099
 encouragement

00:39:51.099 --> 00:39:51.859
 to me

00:39:51.859 --> 00:39:53.440
 in the

00:39:53.440 --> 00:39:53.779
 weeks

00:39:53.779 --> 00:39:54.500
 and months

00:39:54.500 --> 00:39:56.260
 after

00:39:56.260 --> 00:39:56.619
 Brandy

00:39:56.619 --> 00:39:56.800
 went

00:39:56.800 --> 00:39:56.980
 to

00:39:56.980 --> 00:39:57.079
 be

00:39:57.079 --> 00:39:57.260

 in

00:39:57.800 --> 00:39:58.239
 January

00:39:58.239 --> 00:40:00.000
 I

00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:00.340
 needed

00:40:00.340 --> 00:40:00.579

00:40:03.099 --> 00:40:03.300
 when

00:40:03.300 --> 00:40:03.400
 I

00:40:03.400 --> 00:40:03.539
 was

00:40:03.539 --> 00:40:04.019
 completely

00:40:04.019 --> 00:40:04.659
 overwhelmed

00:40:04.659 --> 00:40:04.960
 even

00:40:04.960 --> 00:40:05.159
 when

00:40:05.159 --> 00:40:05.280
 I

00:40:05.280 --> 00:40:05.460
 didn't

00:40:05.460 --> 00:40:05.639
 have

00:40:05.639 --> 00:40:05.800
 the

00:40:05.800 --> 00:40:06.139
 energy

00:40:06.139 --> 00:40:06.400

 to

00:40:08.440 --> 00:40:09.039
 interact

00:40:09.039 --> 00:40:09.780
 even

00:40:09.780 --> 00:40:09.980
 when

00:40:09.980 --> 00:40:10.139
 I

00:40:10.139 --> 00:40:10.480
 couldn't

00:40:10.480 --> 00:40:11.019
 sing

00:40:11.019 --> 00:40:12.639
 to

00:40:13.739 --> 00:40:14.099
 all

00:40:14.099 --> 00:40:15.219
 was

00:40:15.219 --> 00:40:15.820
 such

00:40:15.820 --> 00:40:16.619
 an

00:40:16.619 --> 00:40:17.199
 encouragement

00:40:17.199 --> 00:40:18.019
 to

00:40:24.700 --> 00:40:24.840

00:40:24.840 --> 00:40:24.980

00:40:25.340 --> 00:40:25.640
 part

00:40:25.640 --> 00:40:25.740
 of

00:40:25.740 --> 00:40:25.860
 the

00:40:25.860 --> 00:40:26.080
 reason

00:40:26.080 --> 00:40:26.340
 why

00:40:26.340 --> 00:40:26.540
 I

00:40:26.540 --> 00:40:26.700
 knew

00:40:26.700 --> 00:40:26.880
 I

00:40:27.700 --> 00:40:28.160
 is

00:40:28.160 --> 00:40:28.400
 because

00:40:28.600 --> 00:40:28.760
 had

00:40:29.080 --> 00:40:29.280
 for

00:40:29.280 --> 00:40:29.540
 so

00:40:29.540 --> 00:40:29.940
 long

00:40:29.940 --> 00:40:31.760
 if

00:40:32.140 --> 00:40:32.300
 up

00:40:32.300 --> 00:40:32.480

00:40:32.480 --> 00:40:32.780
 habit

00:40:32.780 --> 00:40:33.280
 now

00:40:33.280 --> 00:40:34.540
 when

00:40:38.580 --> 00:40:39.060
 adrift

00:40:39.060 --> 00:40:41.019
 so

00:40:41.019 --> 00:40:41.600
 now

00:40:41.600 --> 00:40:42.260
 make
