00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:07.140
 Today, I felt it need to preach on evangelism.

00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:17.000
 And so the title of this sermon is A Brief Overview of Evangelism, Semicolon, Theology and Missiology.

00:00:17.539 --> 00:00:21.559
 Theology is just a study of God, and missiology is just a practice within mission.

00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:33.200
 I think that evangelism is really important in every believer's life, but especially in the life of a new church plant.

00:00:34.340 --> 00:00:39.280
 One of our values, our mission is the kingdom of God and all of life together.

00:00:40.379 --> 00:00:43.539
 Evangelism encompasses all three of those things.

00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:48.879
 We need evangelism to preach God's word for his kingdom.

00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:52.460
 He allows us to do that within his kingdom.

00:00:53.100 --> 00:00:56.140
 We do that in all of our life, right?

00:00:56.420 --> 00:00:59.660
 In different seasons, we must preach God's word.

00:01:00.040 --> 00:01:04.540
 And we do it together because it's a glorious and joyful thing that we should do together.

00:01:05.820 --> 00:01:10.140
 So I just want to start with kind of a definition of evangelism,

00:01:10.140 --> 00:01:22.460
 which evangelism is obeying the command to preach the good news or share the good news of God

00:01:22.460 --> 00:01:26.920
 to reconcile depraved, sinful men and women to the triune God.

00:01:29.060 --> 00:01:34.980
 And the goal of this is for us to have a balanced view of evangelism, like a seesaw.

00:01:34.980 --> 00:01:38.980
 We don't want to be too high on either side.

00:01:39.980 --> 00:01:45.540
 What we believe about it, how we ought to think about it and applying it to our lives.

00:01:46.460 --> 00:01:50.659
 So I just want to start with biblical commands and evangelism.

00:01:51.659 --> 00:01:54.120
 What are biblical commands, right?

00:01:54.120 --> 00:02:08.280
 What Webster's Dictionary defines it as command as someone giving order or orders to exercise dominating influence over blame.

00:02:09.099 --> 00:02:09.219
 Right.

00:02:09.340 --> 00:02:14.120
 So a great image of this is our children.

00:02:15.180 --> 00:02:20.080
 Within our homes, that is a father and mother's dominion.

00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:26.280
 We are to dominate over our children, take dominion over them and to rule over our households.

00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:31.460
 Biblical commands are commands that are given by God.

00:02:32.060 --> 00:02:35.180
 He is dominating over all creation.

00:02:35.340 --> 00:02:36.439
 It is his dominion.

00:02:37.320 --> 00:02:41.080
 And if God commands it, we do it.

00:02:41.660 --> 00:02:42.720
 It's God who commands it.

00:02:42.860 --> 00:02:48.040
 So that's a little overview of biblical commands, what they are.

00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:53.400
 So the Ten Commandments is what we typically go to whenever we hear commands, right?

00:02:55.379 --> 00:02:58.479
 And, you know, you have a lot of commands.

00:02:59.519 --> 00:03:02.340
 Do not have any other idols before God.

00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:04.319
 Honor your mother and father.

00:03:04.739 --> 00:03:05.340
 Do not lie.

00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:06.739
 Do not steal.

00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:07.939
 Do not commit adultery.

00:03:07.939 --> 00:03:16.979
 And in these commands, I want to focus on language of negative commands versus positive commands.

00:03:17.419 --> 00:03:21.240
 So negative commands are do not, right?

00:03:21.379 --> 00:03:21.900
 Do not.

00:03:22.219 --> 00:03:23.979
 Do not have any gods.

00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:27.139
 Do not have any other gods before Yahweh.

00:03:27.860 --> 00:03:28.800
 Do not lie.

00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:29.699
 Do not steal.

00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:30.979
 Do not commit adultery.

00:03:30.979 --> 00:03:37.019
 Positive commands are commands such as obey your mother and father, right?

00:03:38.239 --> 00:03:48.099
 Physically speaking, positive commands are more difficult sometimes to follow because there's not a line that's drawn in the sand, right?

00:03:48.679 --> 00:03:51.899
 You're like, physically, I know not to bow down before an idol.

00:03:52.500 --> 00:03:54.099
 I know not to steal.

00:03:54.099 --> 00:03:56.719
 I know not to commit adultery.

00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:03.139
 But in the nuances of obeying your mother and father, that's harder, right?

00:04:05.539 --> 00:04:12.539
 And here's an example, right, of a famous story of command to forgive, right?

00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:14.799
 Peter is talking to Jesus.

00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:20.159
 He says, how often must I forgive my brother who sins against me?

00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:25.180
 And Jesus responds, you must forgive seven times, 77 times, right?

00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:26.980
 A positive command, right?

00:04:27.320 --> 00:04:31.600
 You must do it repeatedly as many times as it takes.

00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:40.120
 Another example of a positive command or something in this is your kids, right?

00:04:40.660 --> 00:04:42.840
 You tell your kids, do the dishes.

00:04:43.140 --> 00:04:44.060
 They're in the other room.

00:04:44.760 --> 00:04:46.320
 They pretend like they don't hear you.

00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:52.019
 And then, you know, Max, Max, do the dishes.

00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:55.120
 Max, playing video games or something, right?

00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:56.180
 Right?

00:04:56.300 --> 00:04:57.639
 Not doing it, right?

00:04:57.719 --> 00:04:58.779
 Or something like that.

00:05:00.259 --> 00:05:05.539
 Another example is if you're really hungry after church and you turn to your wife and say,

00:05:06.060 --> 00:05:10.459
 honey, you should pick a place for us to go because I really want you to pick the place.

00:05:10.459 --> 00:05:15.579
 And 30 minutes later, you're still hungry with no destination in mind.

00:05:18.339 --> 00:05:22.539
 But there's so much things, right?

00:05:22.620 --> 00:05:24.099
 So much things that you could do.

00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:25.439
 It's like, what place should we go to?

00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:26.139
 I don't know.

00:05:26.500 --> 00:05:28.579
 Like, how do I obey my mom and dad?

00:05:28.779 --> 00:05:31.719
 There's no line drawn in the sand, right?

00:05:32.679 --> 00:05:35.339
 What does this have to do with evangelism, right?

00:05:35.339 --> 00:05:37.679
 What do positive commands have to do with evangelism?

00:05:38.659 --> 00:05:38.979
 All right.

00:05:39.659 --> 00:05:43.619
 I'll start by reading Matthew 28, 16 to 20.

00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:47.799
 I'm going to be in a ton of different scripture verses.

00:05:49.339 --> 00:05:50.599
 So I'll just read for you guys.

00:05:50.599 --> 00:05:55.399
 The 11 disciples traveled to Galilee to the mountain where Jesus had directed them.

00:05:55.779 --> 00:05:58.739
 When they saw him, they worshiped, but some doubted.

00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:00.559
 Jesus came near and said to them,

00:06:01.159 --> 00:06:04.039
 all authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.

00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:06.780
 Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations,

00:06:07.379 --> 00:06:11.060
 baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit,

00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:13.819
 teaching them to observe everything I've commanded you.

00:06:14.420 --> 00:06:17.720
 And remember, I am with you always to the end of the age.

00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:21.600
 So this is a command, right?

00:06:22.060 --> 00:06:23.300
 It's a positive command.

00:06:23.400 --> 00:06:24.860
 It's not a negative command.

00:06:25.420 --> 00:06:27.640
 And so there's so many nuances.

00:06:27.960 --> 00:06:29.120
 It's just like forgiveness.

00:06:29.660 --> 00:06:32.300
 You're supposed to do it over and over again, right?

00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:42.780
 A lot of people would say, like reading this, that go would be the command here.

00:06:44.100 --> 00:06:46.260
 But unfortunately, that's not the command.

00:06:47.220 --> 00:06:53.520
 Go is like what's first, but it really should be translated

00:06:53.519 --> 00:07:05.459
 as a passive or descriptive word, meaning as you have gone or since you have gone or going, right?

00:07:06.819 --> 00:07:10.399
 Since you have gone, since you are going, make disciples.

00:07:11.219 --> 00:07:13.399
 The command here is make disciples.

00:07:13.500 --> 00:07:14.279
 That's the imperative.

00:07:14.539 --> 00:07:15.479
 It's not a passive.

00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:16.859
 It's not a descriptive.

00:07:16.860 --> 00:07:20.500
 It's a command from our Lord to make disciples, right?

00:07:23.620 --> 00:07:32.800
 And making disciples commanded by our Lord Jesus first begins with repenting,

00:07:33.280 --> 00:07:37.439
 believing in Jesus as our Lord and Savior,

00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:40.939
 that he's the only way that we could be saved from our sins.

00:07:40.939 --> 00:07:45.139
 And that often happens through evangelism.

00:07:48.719 --> 00:07:58.120
 Now, in Matthew 28, verses 19, one says all nations.

00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:00.759
 It's not talking necessarily about countries.

00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:03.360
 It's talking about ethnicities, right?

00:08:03.500 --> 00:08:04.180
 People groups.

00:08:04.180 --> 00:08:13.259
 There are millions of different ethnicities within the world, right?

00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:15.819
 There's hundreds of thousands of people.

00:08:15.980 --> 00:08:17.519
 Just go to India, right?

00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:23.780
 There's about 200 plus countries, and I'm pretty sure most of them have the gospel, right?

00:08:26.100 --> 00:08:27.939
 Matthew 24, 14 says,

00:08:27.939 --> 00:08:33.360
 The good news of the kingdom will be proclaimed in all the world as a testimony to all nations,

00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:34.620
 and then the end will come.

00:08:35.299 --> 00:08:40.340
 If that word is meaning nations, I'm pretty sure there are believers in every nation.

00:08:40.980 --> 00:08:46.320
 But there is not every ethnicity that has believed and heard the gospels.

00:08:47.019 --> 00:08:47.639
 Does that make sense?

00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:57.580
 And so Jesus here, talking about the end times, says this, right?

00:08:57.940 --> 00:09:01.400
 We must go proclaim the gospel to every ethnicity, right?

00:09:02.260 --> 00:09:09.240
 But with this command, there can be a bolstering of evangelism, evangelism, evangelism everywhere, right?

00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:15.440
 Let's just make converts out of everyone while there's no support of the church, right?

00:09:16.020 --> 00:09:24.140
 I've seen missionaries in different countries who will just make a convert, leave the village, and then keep going without coming back.

00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:25.140
 That's wrong.

00:09:26.160 --> 00:09:27.880
 That's a distortion of God's word.

00:09:27.940 --> 00:09:34.800
 And this is how God expects us to do it, right?

00:09:35.160 --> 00:09:40.460
 So what is God's role in evangelism, right?

00:09:40.940 --> 00:09:43.100
 We know that we must do it.

00:09:43.580 --> 00:09:50.300
 But in that definition, evangelism is obeying the command to preach the good news of God,

00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:54.500
 to reconcile depraved sinful man to the triune God, right?

00:09:54.500 --> 00:10:02.179
 So that definition, the good news of God, God has to do with everything with evangelism.

00:10:02.179 --> 00:10:06.939
 So I have kind of two sections that I want to focus on.

00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:09.259
 One is the triune God.

00:10:09.259 --> 00:10:14.439
 And then the second is our duty in evangelism.

00:10:14.519 --> 00:10:18.000
 Then I'll conclude with some application points, right?

00:10:18.319 --> 00:10:20.799
 My main focus will be on the triune God.

00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:27.120
 Then going into duty and then going into duty and then try to end with some application and land this plane nicely.

00:10:29.599 --> 00:10:30.120
 Right?

00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:40.139
 The triune God, if you ever think of evangelism, the triune God is the means and the ends of evangelism.

00:10:40.139 --> 00:10:41.960
 I can say that again for those who are taking notes.

00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:47.899
 The triune God is the means and the ends of evangelism, right?

00:10:48.379 --> 00:10:56.480
 And so I'm going to go into each person of the Trinity, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, right?

00:10:57.080 --> 00:11:00.240
 Their means and ends of evangelism, right?

00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:04.840
 There are many things in which I could talk about the Father, the Son, and the Spirit

00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:09.639
 and how they influence evangelism and all these different things.

00:11:09.780 --> 00:11:13.280
 But there's only, and I'm not doing an entire overview of all that.

00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:15.399
 There's only a few things that I want to hone in on.

00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:19.180
 The first is John 6, 44.

00:11:20.500 --> 00:11:21.300
 Jesus says,

00:11:21.780 --> 00:11:30.600
 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day.

00:11:30.900 --> 00:11:31.080
 Right?

00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:36.560
 So the first thing is the Father's role in that verse.

00:11:36.660 --> 00:11:37.000
 It says,

00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:40.000
 The Father who sent me draws him, right?

00:11:40.420 --> 00:11:46.080
 The Father's role in evangelism is one, drawing people, right?

00:11:47.100 --> 00:11:55.960
 It's not that the focus, whenever we preach the gospel, there should be no pressure on us

00:11:55.960 --> 00:11:58.340
 if we're preaching the gospel to a non-religious.

00:11:58.340 --> 00:12:03.420
 Because we don't draw people by our eloquence.

00:12:03.800 --> 00:12:05.460
 Paul says to the Corinthians,

00:12:05.620 --> 00:12:12.000
 I came with you without human eloquence, but by the weakness of the gospel, right?

00:12:12.980 --> 00:12:16.000
 Our presentation is not what draws people.

00:12:16.220 --> 00:12:18.820
 You can have the most glorious gospel presentation,

00:12:19.340 --> 00:12:21.759
 and this man or woman still be damned.

00:12:22.860 --> 00:12:25.560
 The Father is who draws people, right?

00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:32.819
 In verse John 6, 65, Jesus says again,

00:12:33.379 --> 00:12:38.819
 This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted to him by the Father.

00:12:39.579 --> 00:12:47.239
 Again, nothing that we do say can bring someone to be saved.

00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:56.899
 It is the work, the mystery, the only thing that changes that and that allows that is the Father, right?

00:12:57.539 --> 00:13:03.519
 Romans 8, 28 to 30, the golden chain, beloved chain by me.

00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:08.480
 We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God,

00:13:08.820 --> 00:13:10.320
 who are called according to his purpose.

00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:15.180
 For those he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son,

00:13:15.500 --> 00:13:18.780
 so that he would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.

00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:21.200
 And those he predestined, he also called.

00:13:21.640 --> 00:13:23.440
 And those he called, he also justified.

00:13:23.920 --> 00:13:26.620
 And those he justified, he also glorified.

00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:34.080
 This gives us an even deeper inner working of the election of the Father,

00:13:34.380 --> 00:13:37.220
 which is so secure because it's already happened.

00:13:38.160 --> 00:13:38.900
 Does that make sense?

00:13:38.899 --> 00:13:53.519
 It's so secure in our election because it's already happened.

00:13:53.860 --> 00:13:57.679
 Paul says we're seeded, past tense, in the heavenly places, right?

00:13:58.059 --> 00:14:00.639
 God is outside of the boundaries of time.

00:14:00.959 --> 00:14:05.600
 There's nothing that can change man's election because it's already happened.

00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:10.700
 And that's why there's no human eloquence that can influence someone being saved.

00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:12.740
 Because it's already happened.

00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:14.820
 Because God has already saved him.

00:14:15.899 --> 00:14:19.519
 But nonetheless, Spurgeon still prays and says,

00:14:20.060 --> 00:14:23.820
 Lord, save your elect and save even more, right?

00:14:26.040 --> 00:14:31.860
 Now, that is the means of the Father within evangelism.

00:14:31.860 --> 00:14:35.120
 He draws those who are his, right?

00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:36.659
 As the means by it.

00:14:37.259 --> 00:14:47.000
 The ends of the Father in evangelism is that we are brought into his glorious kingdom to be face to face with the Father.

00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:53.659
 To ponder the depth and the breath of his glory, his majesty.

00:14:54.419 --> 00:15:01.919
 To cry out, holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty as the cherubim and seraphim do.

00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:07.299
 To dwell in eternal bliss with our adopted Father.

00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:09.940
 Our Father who saw us naked.

00:15:09.940 --> 00:15:13.580
 Our Father who gives us righteousness.

00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:18.680
 Our Father who predestined us to bring us into his kingdom.

00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:23.760
 He predestined us to come as the means.

00:15:23.940 --> 00:15:27.400
 And he brings us in for himself as the ends.

00:15:27.900 --> 00:15:34.660
 He is the means and the ends of election and of evangelism and of salvation.

00:15:34.659 --> 00:15:39.199
 Now, the son, John 5, 36.

00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:47.559
 But I have a greater testimony than John's because of the works that my Father has given me to accomplish.

00:15:47.959 --> 00:15:54.860
 These very works I'm doing to set, I'm doing to testify about me that the Father has sent me, right?

00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:59.439
 So there's works that Jesus is doing while he's here on the earth.

00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:03.019
 But he's sent with a mission from the Father, right?

00:16:03.019 --> 00:16:07.620
 He's sent from the Father to do a specific mission, right?

00:16:10.439 --> 00:16:11.899
 What is that though?

00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:15.500
 What is that specific work, specific task?

00:16:16.399 --> 00:16:17.559
 John 10, 11.

00:16:18.100 --> 00:16:19.299
 I am the good shepherd.

00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:23.019
 The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

00:16:23.699 --> 00:16:31.919
 The hired hand, since he is not the shepherd, does not own the sheep, leaves them and runs away when he sees a wolf coming.

00:16:31.919 --> 00:16:34.959
 Then the wolf snatches and scatters them.

00:16:35.079 --> 00:16:37.919
 This happens because he is hired, doesn't care about the sheep.

00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:46.939
 Jesus' mission, his work, sent by the Father, is to be one of the good shepherd, right?

00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:47.719
 Prophesied.

00:16:48.199 --> 00:16:54.819
 He is the good shepherd that has come to nurture Israel and to bring Gentiles into the kingdom.

00:16:54.820 --> 00:16:55.220
 Right?

00:16:56.760 --> 00:17:02.320
 But not only that, he's the good shepherd that lays down his life for his sheep.

00:17:03.260 --> 00:17:03.440
 Right?

00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:10.620
 And we all know the story of Jesus' crucifixion.

00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:12.900
 But I want to read it really quickly.

00:17:13.080 --> 00:17:15.759
 In Mark 15, 20 to 32.

00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:19.859
 They let him out to crucify him.

00:17:20.259 --> 00:17:25.400
 They forced a man coming in from the country who was passing by to carry Jesus' cross.

00:17:25.980 --> 00:17:30.440
 He was Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus.

00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:35.079
 They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha, which means place of skull.

00:17:35.500 --> 00:17:39.839
 They tried to give him wine mixed with myrrh, which he did not take.

00:17:39.839 --> 00:17:45.379
 Then they crucified him, divided his clothes, casting lots for him.

00:17:45.819 --> 00:17:47.299
 They decided what each would get.

00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:50.659
 Now it was nine in the morning when they crucified him.

00:17:51.139 --> 00:17:55.199
 The inscription of the charge written against him was the king of the Jews.

00:17:55.939 --> 00:18:01.279
 They crucified two criminals with him, one on the right and one on the left.

00:18:01.879 --> 00:18:06.359
 Those who passed by were yelling insults at him, shaking their heads and saying,

00:18:06.359 --> 00:18:06.919
 Ha!

00:18:06.920 --> 00:18:07.080
 Ah!

00:18:08.380 --> 00:18:11.580
 The one who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days.

00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:12.480
 Save yourself.

00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:15.820
 Come down from the cross.

00:18:16.539 --> 00:18:21.660
 In the same way the chief priests and scribes were mocking him among themselves and saying,

00:18:21.740 --> 00:18:23.800
 He saves others, but he cannot save himself.

00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:31.060
 Let the Messiah, the king of Israel, come down from the cross so that we may see and believe.

00:18:32.060 --> 00:18:34.580
 Even those who were crucified with them taunted him.

00:18:34.579 --> 00:18:38.139
 How awful, how brutal, right?

00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:47.099
 Like nowadays we wear a cross, but imagine in Roman culture on a hill, right?

00:18:48.099 --> 00:18:49.539
 Let's just say Briarcliff, right?

00:18:49.619 --> 00:18:51.759
 We just have people who die there, right?

00:18:52.179 --> 00:18:54.740
 They torture people and throw them up on Briarcliff.

00:18:54.740 --> 00:18:58.140
 There's no one who would want to go up there, right?

00:18:58.779 --> 00:19:03.539
 Let's go smell the stench and people who are dying there, right?

00:19:03.579 --> 00:19:05.519
 Let's go see the Romans, crucify them.

00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:08.960
 This is not something that's good.

00:19:09.480 --> 00:19:13.299
 That you want to talk about in a normal everyday life experience.

00:19:13.779 --> 00:19:18.559
 It's like talking about the electric chair in like normal conversation.

00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:23.440
 Like crucifixion then was awful.

00:19:23.779 --> 00:19:24.339
 It was brutal.

00:19:25.579 --> 00:19:28.700
 39 times was our Savior whipped.

00:19:30.980 --> 00:19:33.159
 That usually tears skin.

00:19:33.819 --> 00:19:35.099
 It usually tears muscles.

00:19:36.879 --> 00:19:38.440
 Carried our cross.

00:19:38.440 --> 00:19:42.740
 The Father predestined that he would come.

00:19:43.259 --> 00:19:46.440
 He predestined that we would be saved by this man.

00:19:46.680 --> 00:19:48.240
 By the Son of God.

00:19:51.940 --> 00:19:55.259
 Our Good Shepherd laid his life down for us

00:19:55.259 --> 00:20:00.880
 because the Father sent him to provide a means by which we could save.

00:20:01.380 --> 00:20:01.920
 Be saved.

00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:06.840
 The Father predestines us as the means.

00:20:07.840 --> 00:20:12.460
 And the Son lays his life down and is raised three days later

00:20:12.460 --> 00:20:15.500
 as a means that we might be saved.

00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:22.820
 The Son is the end of evangelism as the Father is.

00:20:23.380 --> 00:20:25.400
 Revelation 5, 11 and 14.

00:20:27.060 --> 00:20:28.060
 11 to 14.

00:20:28.180 --> 00:20:28.820
 I'm just going to read.

00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:31.600
 Verse 12.

00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:33.759
 They said with a loud voice,

00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:36.759
 Worthy is the Lamb who was slaughtered

00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:42.779
 to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and blessing.

00:20:44.180 --> 00:20:44.779
 Right?

00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:48.120
 We will worship the Lamb as we worship the Father.

00:20:50.660 --> 00:20:55.300
 The ends of evangelism with the Son is to worship him.

00:20:56.100 --> 00:20:56.900
 It's to say,

00:20:56.900 --> 00:21:01.080
 Praise be our older brother, the firstborn of all creation,

00:21:01.079 --> 00:21:02.480
 who was raised from the dead.

00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:04.099
 Praise be that Lamb.

00:21:04.099 --> 00:21:15.659
 Do you not long to dwell with the Son?

00:21:16.939 --> 00:21:18.139
 For him to come?

00:21:21.659 --> 00:21:26.459
 He ascended the cross that the blind would see,

00:21:26.740 --> 00:21:27.659
 that we would see,

00:21:28.079 --> 00:21:29.539
 that the deaf would hear,

00:21:29.619 --> 00:21:33.219
 that the prisoner in bondage and sin would be set free.

00:21:33.220 --> 00:21:37.279
 The one who says,

00:21:37.500 --> 00:21:38.319
 I am with you,

00:21:38.680 --> 00:21:40.440
 to the end of the age,

00:21:40.559 --> 00:21:41.819
 our Savior and champion,

00:21:42.500 --> 00:21:45.960
 who can sympathize and empathize with our pain,

00:21:46.960 --> 00:21:51.360
 died because he loved us.

00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:53.120
 Right?

00:21:53.460 --> 00:21:55.559
 He died as a means so that we could be saved.

00:21:55.559 --> 00:22:00.919
 And he's the end of our evangelism,

00:22:01.019 --> 00:22:02.419
 of why we're here.

00:22:02.779 --> 00:22:02.940
 Right?

00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:05.299
 Like, we're not waiting.

00:22:05.879 --> 00:22:07.220
 Like, if our hope is just,

00:22:08.299 --> 00:22:10.779
 like, let's just sit around and wait for something to happen,

00:22:10.980 --> 00:22:12.279
 I'll keep going to church,

00:22:12.779 --> 00:22:13.980
 do my religious duties,

00:22:14.159 --> 00:22:16.279
 then what's the point of it all?

00:22:16.839 --> 00:22:19.460
 We have a hope that's reserved for us in heaven.

00:22:19.460 --> 00:22:23.100
 The Father longing to glorify him,

00:22:23.160 --> 00:22:25.720
 the Son longing to glorify and worship him.

00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:29.140
 And that brings us to the third person of the Trinity,

00:22:29.740 --> 00:22:30.140
 the Spirit.

00:22:31.579 --> 00:22:34.240
 John 16, 7-11,

00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:36.019
 Nevertheless,

00:22:36.440 --> 00:22:37.500
 I'm telling you the truth,

00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:40.299
 for it is for your benefit that I go away.

00:22:40.599 --> 00:22:42.279
 Because if I don't go away,

00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:44.519
 the Counselor will not come.

00:22:45.660 --> 00:22:46.680
 If I go,

00:22:46.940 --> 00:22:48.380
 I will send him to you.

00:22:48.779 --> 00:22:49.559
 When he comes,

00:22:49.859 --> 00:22:51.880
 he will convict the world about sin,

00:22:52.039 --> 00:22:52.480
 righteousness,

00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:53.279
 and judgment.

00:22:53.819 --> 00:22:54.559
 About sin,

00:22:55.019 --> 00:22:56.339
 because they do not believe in me.

00:22:56.559 --> 00:22:57.240
 About righteousness,

00:22:57.779 --> 00:22:59.339
 because I'm going to the Father,

00:22:59.680 --> 00:23:00.799
 you will no longer see me.

00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:01.839
 And about judgment,

00:23:02.500 --> 00:23:03.859
 because the ruler of this world,

00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:05.140
 has been judged.

00:23:05.940 --> 00:23:08.599
 The Father has sent the Son,

00:23:09.039 --> 00:23:09.880
 and now the Son,

00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:11.099
 as he ascends,

00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:12.880
 sends the Spirit.

00:23:14.740 --> 00:23:15.140
 And says,

00:23:15.299 --> 00:23:16.259
 it is better.

00:23:16.700 --> 00:23:17.660
 It is for your benefit

00:23:17.660 --> 00:23:18.920
 that I go away.

00:23:19.240 --> 00:23:19.460
 Right?

00:23:20.079 --> 00:23:21.980
 I long to dwell with Jesus,

00:23:22.500 --> 00:23:23.140
 but Jesus,

00:23:23.400 --> 00:23:24.039
 God himself,

00:23:24.160 --> 00:23:25.440
 says that it is better.

00:23:26.019 --> 00:23:27.480
 It is a benefit to you.

00:23:28.279 --> 00:23:29.859
 That I should go away,

00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:31.680
 and I should send the Spirit.

00:23:34.240 --> 00:23:34.720
 Now,

00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:37.480
 those who believe in Jesus' work

00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:38.259
 on the cross,

00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:39.660
 who have repented and believed,

00:23:40.279 --> 00:23:41.720
 are saved for the day,

00:23:42.019 --> 00:23:43.200
 are sealed and saved

00:23:43.200 --> 00:23:44.220
 for the day of judgment

00:23:44.220 --> 00:23:45.640
 by the Spirit.

00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:48.660
 And about sin,

00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:50.620
 that we are lost sinners,

00:23:50.779 --> 00:23:52.720
 and cannot be in a relationship

00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:53.339
 with God.

00:23:53.700 --> 00:23:54.519
 About righteousness,

00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:56.559
 that we have none,

00:23:56.759 --> 00:23:57.480
 but need Jesus.

00:23:57.620 --> 00:23:58.319
 And about judgment,

00:23:58.740 --> 00:24:00.400
 that Christ has defeated sin,

00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:01.000
 and death,

00:24:01.000 --> 00:24:02.759
 and was raised from the dead.

00:24:02.839 --> 00:24:04.160
 That is the Spirit's work.

00:24:04.440 --> 00:24:04.579
 Right?

00:24:04.859 --> 00:24:05.900
 The biggest one

00:24:05.900 --> 00:24:07.160
 is to seal us,

00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:08.680
 to sanctify us,

00:24:08.839 --> 00:24:09.680
 to keep us

00:24:09.680 --> 00:24:10.880
 for the day of reckoning.

00:24:11.579 --> 00:24:11.839
 Right?

00:24:12.279 --> 00:24:13.539
 And not only that,

00:24:13.640 --> 00:24:14.880
 but he convicts the world

00:24:14.880 --> 00:24:16.880
 of sin,

00:24:18.059 --> 00:24:19.480
 of righteousness,

00:24:19.859 --> 00:24:21.000
 and of judgment.

00:24:21.420 --> 00:24:21.559
 Right?

00:24:22.660 --> 00:24:24.160
 The Spirit of God,

00:24:25.220 --> 00:24:25.980
 triune God,

00:24:26.039 --> 00:24:27.460
 the most powerful being

00:24:27.460 --> 00:24:28.779
 in the universe,

00:24:28.779 --> 00:24:30.839
 Paul writes in Ephesians,

00:24:31.399 --> 00:24:32.539
 God is more powerful

00:24:32.539 --> 00:24:34.259
 beyond what we can think.

00:24:34.779 --> 00:24:35.039
 Right?

00:24:35.680 --> 00:24:35.960
 Like,

00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:37.200
 think about a hundred million

00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:38.220
 burning suns.

00:24:40.079 --> 00:24:41.160
 God is more powerful

00:24:41.160 --> 00:24:41.599
 than that.

00:24:42.099 --> 00:24:42.579
 Right?

00:24:43.379 --> 00:24:44.920
 Beyond what we can think,

00:24:45.639 --> 00:24:46.920
 it's given to us

00:24:46.920 --> 00:24:47.399
 as a gift.

00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:49.960
 And he dwells

00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:50.799
 within us.

00:24:51.859 --> 00:24:52.899
 2 Timothy 1,

00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:53.579
 7,

00:24:53.680 --> 00:24:55.019
 tells us God has given us,

00:24:55.619 --> 00:24:56.259
 not a,

00:24:56.259 --> 00:24:56.680
 not a,

00:24:56.680 --> 00:24:57.720
 has given us,

00:24:57.720 --> 00:24:59.140
 not a spirit of fear,

00:24:59.279 --> 00:25:00.220
 but of one of power

00:25:00.220 --> 00:25:01.519
 and love

00:25:01.519 --> 00:25:02.779
 and sound judgment.

00:25:03.500 --> 00:25:04.500
 We have access

00:25:04.500 --> 00:25:06.039
 to God's

00:25:06.039 --> 00:25:06.880
 power.

00:25:07.579 --> 00:25:08.900
 If we are in Christ,

00:25:09.420 --> 00:25:09.500
 the,

00:25:09.500 --> 00:25:10.480
 the Spirit is already

00:25:10.480 --> 00:25:11.420
 convicting the world.

00:25:12.019 --> 00:25:13.519
 But how will they hear?

00:25:14.100 --> 00:25:14.420
 You know,

00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:16.460
 Spirit's convicting the world,

00:25:16.680 --> 00:25:18.180
 but how will they hear

00:25:18.180 --> 00:25:19.839
 if a preacher

00:25:19.839 --> 00:25:21.200
 is not sent?

00:25:22.500 --> 00:25:23.299
 How will they see

00:25:23.299 --> 00:25:25.160
 if evangelism

00:25:25.160 --> 00:25:26.160
 is not happening?

00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:30.140
 The Spirit

00:25:30.140 --> 00:25:30.800
 gives us

00:25:30.800 --> 00:25:31.480
 the power

00:25:31.480 --> 00:25:32.200
 to preach,

00:25:32.480 --> 00:25:33.900
 to share the gospel.

00:25:34.380 --> 00:25:34.500
 Right?

00:25:36.060 --> 00:25:37.120
 The Father

00:25:37.120 --> 00:25:38.000
 has sent the Son

00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:38.560
 to die

00:25:38.560 --> 00:25:39.560
 and be raised again

00:25:39.560 --> 00:25:40.500
 for sinful men.

00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:41.580
 Those who

00:25:41.580 --> 00:25:42.980
 believe in the Son's

00:25:42.980 --> 00:25:43.580
 sacrifice

00:25:43.580 --> 00:25:45.480
 become sons themselves.

00:25:46.000 --> 00:25:46.320
 Daughters

00:25:46.320 --> 00:25:47.040
 are given

00:25:47.040 --> 00:25:47.779
 the inheritance

00:25:47.779 --> 00:25:49.080
 of sons.

00:25:52.120 --> 00:25:52.940
 And he,

00:25:53.000 --> 00:25:53.640
 he's called

00:25:53.640 --> 00:25:54.620
 the helper,

00:25:54.619 --> 00:25:55.539
 the comforter.

00:25:55.799 --> 00:25:57.179
 We live in evil days

00:25:57.179 --> 00:25:58.399
 so that we would not

00:25:58.399 --> 00:25:58.899
 lose heart.

00:25:59.719 --> 00:26:01.139
 Our foe is powerful.

00:26:02.139 --> 00:26:02.279
 Right?

00:26:02.639 --> 00:26:03.759
 Satan is powerful.

00:26:04.919 --> 00:26:05.079
 He,

00:26:05.179 --> 00:26:06.019
 he's an angel.

00:26:07.539 --> 00:26:08.399
 Magnificent being

00:26:08.399 --> 00:26:08.839
 created

00:26:08.839 --> 00:26:09.879
 by the Lord

00:26:09.879 --> 00:26:10.599
 and evil,

00:26:10.819 --> 00:26:11.479
 depraved,

00:26:11.919 --> 00:26:12.439
 sinful,

00:26:12.879 --> 00:26:13.599
 tactful

00:26:13.599 --> 00:26:14.419
 enemy

00:26:14.419 --> 00:26:16.899
 who loves

00:26:16.899 --> 00:26:17.619
 to dwell

00:26:17.619 --> 00:26:19.379
 and cause

00:26:19.379 --> 00:26:20.199
 men to sin.

00:26:20.200 --> 00:26:22.160
 that's why

00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:22.720
 the helper

00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:23.259
 was sent

00:26:23.259 --> 00:26:25.200
 so that we

00:26:25.200 --> 00:26:25.680
 would fight

00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:26.299
 against them.

00:26:27.720 --> 00:26:28.180
 The Spirit

00:26:28.180 --> 00:26:29.940
 is the means

00:26:29.940 --> 00:26:30.720
 of evangelism

00:26:30.720 --> 00:26:31.400
 as the Son

00:26:31.400 --> 00:26:32.039
 and the Father

00:26:32.039 --> 00:26:32.299
 is,

00:26:32.380 --> 00:26:32.819
 that men

00:26:32.819 --> 00:26:33.360
 and women

00:26:33.360 --> 00:26:33.960
 would dwell

00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:34.880
 in the holy

00:26:34.880 --> 00:26:35.480
 dwellings

00:26:35.480 --> 00:26:36.259
 of the Spirit

00:26:36.259 --> 00:26:36.880
 of God

00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:37.720
 is something

00:26:37.720 --> 00:26:38.680
 awesome to behold.

00:26:39.680 --> 00:26:40.519
 The Spirit

00:26:40.519 --> 00:26:41.559
 hovering over

00:26:41.559 --> 00:26:42.220
 the chaotic

00:26:42.220 --> 00:26:42.799
 waters

00:26:42.799 --> 00:26:43.640
 at creation

00:26:43.640 --> 00:26:44.880
 that helped

00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:46.600
 bring order

00:26:46.599 --> 00:26:48.059
 then,

00:26:48.259 --> 00:26:48.799
 now,

00:26:49.019 --> 00:26:49.759
 bring orders

00:26:49.759 --> 00:26:50.799
 to our lives

00:26:50.799 --> 00:26:51.339
 and even

00:26:51.339 --> 00:26:52.399
 greater order

00:26:52.399 --> 00:26:53.879
 whenever we

00:26:53.879 --> 00:26:54.480
 are in heaven

00:26:54.480 --> 00:26:55.099
 with God

00:26:55.099 --> 00:26:56.119
 sealing us

00:26:56.119 --> 00:26:56.659
 for that day

00:26:56.659 --> 00:26:57.199
 of reckoning.

00:26:59.139 --> 00:26:59.699
 Great

00:26:59.699 --> 00:27:00.439
 are the

00:27:00.439 --> 00:27:01.599
 works of the Spirit

00:27:01.599 --> 00:27:02.199
 and wondrous

00:27:02.199 --> 00:27:02.799
 are the works

00:27:02.799 --> 00:27:04.019
 that we would

00:27:04.019 --> 00:27:04.619
 be brought

00:27:04.619 --> 00:27:05.059
 in

00:27:05.059 --> 00:27:07.500
 the glory

00:27:07.500 --> 00:27:08.199
 with the triune

00:27:08.199 --> 00:27:08.980
 God for the work

00:27:08.980 --> 00:27:09.480
 of the Spirit.

00:27:11.539 --> 00:27:12.099
 So,

00:27:12.419 --> 00:27:13.759
 that's the Father,

00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:14.679
 that's the Son,

00:27:14.779 --> 00:27:15.439
 and that's the Spirit.

00:27:16.599 --> 00:27:17.779
 The triune God

00:27:17.779 --> 00:27:18.519
 is the means

00:27:18.519 --> 00:27:19.559
 and the ends

00:27:19.559 --> 00:27:21.419
 of evangelism.

00:27:21.899 --> 00:27:22.599
 We cannot

00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:23.319
 have

00:27:23.319 --> 00:27:24.419
 redemption

00:27:24.419 --> 00:27:25.240
 without the

00:27:25.240 --> 00:27:25.480
 Father,

00:27:25.639 --> 00:27:25.859
 Son,

00:27:25.939 --> 00:27:26.719
 and the Holy Spirit.

00:27:27.119 --> 00:27:27.519
 They have

00:27:27.519 --> 00:27:28.299
 different roles,

00:27:28.419 --> 00:27:29.019
 they are all

00:27:29.019 --> 00:27:29.459
 saints,

00:27:29.539 --> 00:27:30.359
 that's into God.

00:27:32.579 --> 00:27:32.980
 And now,

00:27:33.459 --> 00:27:34.039
 at the end

00:27:34.039 --> 00:27:34.599
 of all this,

00:27:34.639 --> 00:27:35.539
 there's one question

00:27:35.539 --> 00:27:36.139
 that I want to

00:27:36.139 --> 00:27:37.199
 focus on a little bit,

00:27:37.419 --> 00:27:37.619
 right?

00:27:39.099 --> 00:27:39.980
 Why is God

00:27:39.980 --> 00:27:40.359
 the ends

00:27:40.359 --> 00:27:41.019
 of evangelism?

00:27:42.219 --> 00:27:42.439
 Right?

00:27:43.199 --> 00:27:43.980
 Why is God

00:27:43.980 --> 00:27:44.259
 the ends

00:27:44.259 --> 00:27:44.879
 of evangelism?

00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:46.640
 He provided

00:27:46.640 --> 00:27:47.220
 the means.

00:27:47.700 --> 00:27:48.060
 Why is He

00:27:48.060 --> 00:27:48.460
 the ends?

00:27:49.200 --> 00:27:50.220
 Why aren't

00:27:50.220 --> 00:27:50.820
 the ends

00:27:50.820 --> 00:27:51.760
 just meant

00:27:51.760 --> 00:27:52.280
 to be saved?

00:27:53.120 --> 00:27:53.980
 Isn't that enough?

00:27:56.600 --> 00:27:57.220
 Doesn't it

00:27:57.220 --> 00:27:57.700
 make God

00:27:57.700 --> 00:27:58.280
 seem a bit

00:27:58.280 --> 00:27:58.760
 needy?

00:27:59.980 --> 00:28:00.920
 If the ends

00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:01.760
 of evangelism

00:28:01.760 --> 00:28:02.300
 is just

00:28:02.300 --> 00:28:03.380
 that we have

00:28:03.380 --> 00:28:03.780
 to worship

00:28:03.780 --> 00:28:04.320
 Him in heaven?

00:28:07.120 --> 00:28:07.860
 Short answer

00:28:07.860 --> 00:28:08.140
 is,

00:28:08.740 --> 00:28:09.640
 because it

00:28:09.640 --> 00:28:09.920
 wouldn't

00:28:09.920 --> 00:28:10.780
 complete salvation.

00:28:10.779 --> 00:28:11.779
 salvation

00:28:11.779 --> 00:28:12.759
 because we're

00:28:12.759 --> 00:28:13.299
 created

00:28:13.299 --> 00:28:14.720
 as beings

00:28:14.720 --> 00:28:15.259
 that are meant

00:28:15.259 --> 00:28:15.899
 to praise,

00:28:16.379 --> 00:28:17.259
 to worship,

00:28:17.839 --> 00:28:18.940
 to glorify.

00:28:19.799 --> 00:28:20.359
 Salvation

00:28:20.359 --> 00:28:20.879
 would be

00:28:20.879 --> 00:28:21.539
 incomplete

00:28:21.539 --> 00:28:22.420
 if we didn't

00:28:22.420 --> 00:28:23.279
 have an object

00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:24.139
 to worship.

00:28:25.259 --> 00:28:25.619
 And I think

00:28:25.619 --> 00:28:26.180
 C.S. Lewis

00:28:26.180 --> 00:28:27.059
 says it best.

00:28:28.099 --> 00:28:28.680
 I think we,

00:28:29.119 --> 00:28:30.079
 C.S. Lewis

00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:30.839
 talking,

00:28:30.960 --> 00:28:31.839
 I think we delight

00:28:31.839 --> 00:28:32.440
 in praising

00:28:32.440 --> 00:28:33.319
 what we enjoy

00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:34.899
 because the praise

00:28:34.899 --> 00:28:35.599
 not merely

00:28:35.599 --> 00:28:36.220
 expresses

00:28:36.220 --> 00:28:37.660
 but completes

00:28:37.660 --> 00:28:38.299
 the enjoyment.

00:28:39.160 --> 00:28:39.600
 It is

00:28:39.600 --> 00:28:40.700
 its appointed

00:28:40.700 --> 00:28:41.680
 consummation.

00:28:42.460 --> 00:28:42.960
 It is not

00:28:42.960 --> 00:28:43.460
 out of

00:28:43.460 --> 00:28:44.960
 compliment

00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:45.779
 that lovers

00:28:45.779 --> 00:28:46.559
 keep telling

00:28:46.559 --> 00:28:47.059
 one another

00:28:47.059 --> 00:28:47.620
 how beautiful

00:28:47.620 --> 00:28:48.079
 they are.

00:28:48.700 --> 00:28:49.259
 The delight

00:28:49.259 --> 00:28:50.100
 is incomplete

00:28:50.100 --> 00:28:51.059
 till it is

00:28:51.059 --> 00:28:51.759
 expressed.

00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:53.640
 It is frustrating

00:28:53.640 --> 00:28:54.460
 to have discovered

00:28:54.460 --> 00:28:54.860
 a new

00:28:54.860 --> 00:28:56.079
 author

00:28:56.079 --> 00:28:58.220
 and not be

00:28:58.220 --> 00:28:58.819
 able to tell

00:28:58.819 --> 00:28:59.220
 anyone

00:28:59.220 --> 00:29:00.680
 how good he is

00:29:00.680 --> 00:29:01.579
 to come suddenly

00:29:01.579 --> 00:29:02.100
 at the turn

00:29:02.100 --> 00:29:02.660
 of the road

00:29:02.660 --> 00:29:03.600
 upon some

00:29:03.600 --> 00:29:04.319
 mountain valley

00:29:04.319 --> 00:29:05.160
 of unexpected

00:29:05.160 --> 00:29:05.860
 grandeur

00:29:05.859 --> 00:29:06.759
 and then

00:29:06.759 --> 00:29:07.159
 have to

00:29:07.159 --> 00:29:07.779
 keep silent

00:29:07.779 --> 00:29:08.319
 because the

00:29:08.319 --> 00:29:08.759
 people you

00:29:08.759 --> 00:29:09.439
 care for

00:29:09.439 --> 00:29:10.939
 care no more

00:29:10.939 --> 00:29:11.740
 for a tin can

00:29:11.740 --> 00:29:12.279
 in the ditch.

00:29:12.779 --> 00:29:13.399
 To hear a good

00:29:13.399 --> 00:29:14.139
 joke and find

00:29:14.139 --> 00:29:14.579
 no one to

00:29:14.579 --> 00:29:15.219
 share it with

00:29:15.219 --> 00:29:16.899
 the Scotch

00:29:16.899 --> 00:29:17.639
 catechism

00:29:17.639 --> 00:29:18.899
 says that

00:29:18.899 --> 00:29:19.679
 man's chief

00:29:19.679 --> 00:29:20.500
 end is to

00:29:20.500 --> 00:29:21.519
 glorify God

00:29:21.519 --> 00:29:22.539
 and enjoy him

00:29:22.539 --> 00:29:22.899
 forever.

00:29:24.039 --> 00:29:24.719
 But we shall

00:29:24.719 --> 00:29:25.179
 know,

00:29:25.500 --> 00:29:25.899
 but we shall

00:29:25.899 --> 00:29:26.399
 then know

00:29:26.399 --> 00:29:27.059
 that these

00:29:27.059 --> 00:29:28.079
 are the same

00:29:28.079 --> 00:29:28.419
 thing.

00:29:28.659 --> 00:29:29.740
 Fully to enjoy

00:29:29.740 --> 00:29:30.819
 is to glorify.

00:29:31.519 --> 00:29:32.299
 In commanding

00:29:32.299 --> 00:29:33.139
 us to glorify

00:29:33.139 --> 00:29:33.500
 him,

00:29:33.719 --> 00:29:34.519
 God is inviting

00:29:34.519 --> 00:29:35.459
 us to

00:29:35.460 --> 00:29:36.240
 enjoy him.

00:29:37.480 --> 00:29:37.600
 Right?

00:29:39.279 --> 00:29:40.059
 The reason

00:29:40.059 --> 00:29:40.779
 why God

00:29:40.779 --> 00:29:41.100
 is the

00:29:41.100 --> 00:29:42.000
 end is

00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:42.480
 because we

00:29:42.480 --> 00:29:42.759
 are meant

00:29:42.759 --> 00:29:43.259
 to enjoy.

00:29:43.400 --> 00:29:43.620
 We are

00:29:43.620 --> 00:29:44.120
 meant to

00:29:44.120 --> 00:29:44.840
 glorify him.

00:29:45.039 --> 00:29:45.680
 At the

00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:46.340
 beginning of

00:29:46.340 --> 00:29:46.819
 creation,

00:29:46.819 --> 00:29:47.299
 we were

00:29:47.299 --> 00:29:48.079
 created to

00:29:48.079 --> 00:29:48.500
 worship,

00:29:49.059 --> 00:29:50.019
 glorify God.

00:29:50.360 --> 00:29:50.519
 Right?

00:29:50.720 --> 00:29:51.579
 That is God's

00:29:51.579 --> 00:29:52.660
 original intent

00:29:52.660 --> 00:29:53.200
 and purpose

00:29:53.200 --> 00:29:53.559
 for us,

00:29:53.579 --> 00:29:53.940
 and that has

00:29:53.940 --> 00:29:54.539
 not changed.

00:29:56.940 --> 00:29:57.539
 So,

00:29:57.740 --> 00:29:58.200
 that's the

00:29:58.200 --> 00:29:58.680
 first part.

00:29:58.779 --> 00:29:59.000
 We're going

00:29:59.000 --> 00:29:59.620
 to the second

00:29:59.620 --> 00:29:59.980
 half,

00:30:00.360 --> 00:30:01.079
 which is the

00:30:01.079 --> 00:30:02.019
 joyful duty

00:30:02.019 --> 00:30:03.079
 of evangelism.

00:30:04.440 --> 00:30:05.359
 I love

00:30:05.359 --> 00:30:06.139
 evangelism.

00:30:06.559 --> 00:30:07.160
 Many have

00:30:07.160 --> 00:30:07.700
 said that I

00:30:07.700 --> 00:30:08.420
 have the

00:30:08.420 --> 00:30:08.819
 gift of

00:30:08.819 --> 00:30:09.539
 evangelism,

00:30:10.160 --> 00:30:13.180
 but evangelism

00:30:13.180 --> 00:30:14.460
 is a command.

00:30:15.779 --> 00:30:16.660
 Praise God

00:30:16.660 --> 00:30:17.039
 for the

00:30:17.039 --> 00:30:17.339
 Spirit.

00:30:17.759 --> 00:30:17.859
 Right?

00:30:18.460 --> 00:30:19.680
 Faith is a

00:30:19.680 --> 00:30:20.859
 gift, but

00:30:20.859 --> 00:30:21.339
 faith is

00:30:21.339 --> 00:30:22.240
 something that

00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:22.619
 we need.

00:30:22.980 --> 00:30:23.240
 Right?

00:30:23.799 --> 00:30:24.700
 We need

00:30:24.700 --> 00:30:26.259
 faith.

00:30:26.379 --> 00:30:26.839
 We need to

00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:27.299
 believe it.

00:30:27.639 --> 00:30:27.759
 Right?

00:30:27.759 --> 00:30:29.940
 But we

00:30:29.940 --> 00:30:30.700
 are commanded

00:30:30.700 --> 00:30:31.500
 to believe

00:30:31.500 --> 00:30:31.859
 in God,

00:30:31.920 --> 00:30:32.140
 and we

00:30:32.140 --> 00:30:32.740
 are commanded

00:30:32.740 --> 00:30:34.059
 to evangelize.

00:30:35.000 --> 00:30:35.279
 Right?

00:30:35.640 --> 00:30:36.000
 From the

00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:36.559
 intro, I've

00:30:36.559 --> 00:30:37.259
 established that

00:30:37.259 --> 00:30:38.420
 evangelism is a

00:30:38.420 --> 00:30:38.900
 command, and

00:30:38.900 --> 00:30:39.859
 something that

00:30:39.859 --> 00:30:40.579
 we must do,

00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:42.500
 like the

00:30:42.500 --> 00:30:43.519
 worship service

00:30:43.519 --> 00:30:45.240
 of the

00:30:45.240 --> 00:30:45.799
 Levites,

00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:46.819
 they're commanded

00:30:46.819 --> 00:30:47.680
 by God to

00:30:47.680 --> 00:30:48.480
 do things

00:30:48.480 --> 00:30:50.339
 within the

00:30:50.339 --> 00:30:50.920
 service,

00:30:51.019 --> 00:30:51.420
 within the

00:30:51.420 --> 00:30:51.720
 temple,

00:30:51.720 --> 00:30:52.400
 and if they

00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:52.839
 don't do

00:30:52.839 --> 00:30:53.339
 those certain

00:30:53.339 --> 00:30:53.700
 things,

00:30:53.799 --> 00:30:54.259
 then they're

00:30:54.259 --> 00:30:55.059
 breaking the

00:30:55.059 --> 00:30:55.240
 law,

00:30:55.339 --> 00:30:55.839
 breaking God's

00:30:55.839 --> 00:30:56.200
 commands.

00:30:56.200 --> 00:30:58.580
 And so

00:30:58.580 --> 00:30:58.920
 one thing

00:30:58.920 --> 00:30:59.160
 that I

00:30:59.160 --> 00:30:59.400
 want to

00:30:59.400 --> 00:30:59.900
 hit on

00:30:59.900 --> 00:31:01.360
 with positive

00:31:01.360 --> 00:31:01.980
 commands,

00:31:02.080 --> 00:31:02.539
 and especially

00:31:02.539 --> 00:31:04.539
 the command

00:31:04.539 --> 00:31:05.460
 to evangelize,

00:31:05.640 --> 00:31:06.340
 is the

00:31:06.340 --> 00:31:06.799
 sin of

00:31:06.799 --> 00:31:07.279
 commission,

00:31:08.019 --> 00:31:08.380
 and the

00:31:08.380 --> 00:31:08.980
 sin of

00:31:08.980 --> 00:31:09.620
 omission.

00:31:10.960 --> 00:31:11.240
 Right?

00:31:12.160 --> 00:31:12.539
 The sin

00:31:12.539 --> 00:31:13.120
 of commission

00:31:13.120 --> 00:31:14.580
 is really

00:31:14.580 --> 00:31:15.519
 easy to

00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:16.100
 see.

00:31:16.640 --> 00:31:16.720
 Right?

00:31:17.440 --> 00:31:18.180
 It is,

00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:19.220
 examples of

00:31:19.220 --> 00:31:19.559
 this is

00:31:19.559 --> 00:31:19.819
 lying.

00:31:20.420 --> 00:31:20.580
 Right?

00:31:21.120 --> 00:31:21.680
 It's actively

00:31:21.680 --> 00:31:22.319
 doing it.

00:31:23.299 --> 00:31:24.180
 Lying is

00:31:24.180 --> 00:31:25.000
 a sin of

00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:25.420
 commission.

00:31:25.819 --> 00:31:26.140
 Stealing.

00:31:27.039 --> 00:31:27.360
 Committing

00:31:27.360 --> 00:31:27.960
 adultery.

00:31:29.000 --> 00:31:29.220
 Right?

00:31:29.240 --> 00:31:29.600
 You can see

00:31:29.600 --> 00:31:29.740
 it.

00:31:29.819 --> 00:31:30.279
 It's tangible.

00:31:31.140 --> 00:31:31.620
 Sin of

00:31:31.620 --> 00:31:33.200
 omission can

00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:33.620
 be a little

00:31:33.620 --> 00:31:34.420
 trickier to

00:31:34.420 --> 00:31:34.880
 detect.

00:31:35.380 --> 00:31:35.819
 Right?

00:31:35.920 --> 00:31:36.620
 Because it's

00:31:36.620 --> 00:31:37.400
 admitting

00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:37.940
 something.

00:31:40.660 --> 00:31:41.840
 Matthew 25,

00:31:42.420 --> 00:31:43.680
 verse 40

00:31:43.680 --> 00:31:44.680
 to 46,

00:31:44.940 --> 00:31:45.259
 says,

00:31:45.840 --> 00:31:46.660
 Jesus talking,

00:31:46.819 --> 00:31:47.059
 And the

00:31:47.059 --> 00:31:47.440
 king will

00:31:47.440 --> 00:31:48.019
 answer them,

00:31:48.100 --> 00:31:48.519
 Truly I

00:31:48.519 --> 00:31:48.980
 tell you,

00:31:49.080 --> 00:31:49.539
 whatever you

00:31:49.539 --> 00:31:50.120
 did for one

00:31:50.120 --> 00:31:50.539
 of the least

00:31:50.539 --> 00:31:50.860
 of these

00:31:50.860 --> 00:31:51.360
 brothers and

00:31:51.360 --> 00:31:51.920
 sisters of

00:31:51.920 --> 00:31:52.140
 mine,

00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:53.019
 you did

00:31:53.019 --> 00:31:53.440
 for me.

00:31:53.440 --> 00:31:54.539
 Then he

00:31:54.539 --> 00:31:55.039
 will also

00:31:55.039 --> 00:31:55.480
 say to

00:31:55.480 --> 00:31:55.880
 those on

00:31:55.880 --> 00:31:56.299
 the left,

00:31:56.480 --> 00:31:56.779
 Depart

00:31:56.779 --> 00:31:57.220
 from me,

00:31:57.660 --> 00:31:58.000
 who are

00:31:58.000 --> 00:31:58.980
 cursed into

00:31:58.980 --> 00:31:59.500
 the eternal

00:31:59.500 --> 00:31:59.960
 fire,

00:32:00.080 --> 00:32:00.580
 prepared for

00:32:00.580 --> 00:32:01.000
 the devil

00:32:01.000 --> 00:32:01.740
 and his

00:32:01.740 --> 00:32:02.039
 angels.

00:32:02.539 --> 00:32:03.180
 I was

00:32:03.180 --> 00:32:03.580
 hungry,

00:32:03.980 --> 00:32:04.340
 and you

00:32:04.340 --> 00:32:04.700
 gave me

00:32:04.700 --> 00:32:05.180
 nothing to

00:32:05.180 --> 00:32:05.460
 eat.

00:32:05.880 --> 00:32:06.519
 I was

00:32:06.519 --> 00:32:06.960
 thirsty,

00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:07.880
 and you

00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:08.240
 gave me

00:32:08.240 --> 00:32:08.720
 nothing to

00:32:08.720 --> 00:32:09.000
 drink.

00:32:09.380 --> 00:32:10.039
 I was a

00:32:10.039 --> 00:32:10.420
 stranger,

00:32:10.779 --> 00:32:11.120
 and you

00:32:11.120 --> 00:32:11.640
 didn't take

00:32:11.640 --> 00:32:12.000
 me in.

00:32:12.340 --> 00:32:12.860
 I was

00:32:12.860 --> 00:32:13.240
 naked,

00:32:13.400 --> 00:32:13.740
 and you

00:32:13.740 --> 00:32:14.000
 didn't

00:32:14.000 --> 00:32:14.539
 clothe me

00:32:14.539 --> 00:32:14.900
 sick,

00:32:15.700 --> 00:32:16.059
 and in

00:32:16.059 --> 00:32:16.380
 prison,

00:32:16.500 --> 00:32:16.700
 and you

00:32:16.700 --> 00:32:17.160
 didn't care

00:32:17.160 --> 00:32:17.620
 for me.

00:32:17.619 --> 00:32:19.459
 Then they

00:32:19.459 --> 00:32:19.899
 too will

00:32:19.899 --> 00:32:20.199
 answer,

00:32:20.359 --> 00:32:20.579
 Lord,

00:32:20.699 --> 00:32:21.099
 we did

00:32:21.099 --> 00:32:21.659
 not see

00:32:21.659 --> 00:32:21.959
 you,

00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:22.879
 hungry,

00:32:23.079 --> 00:32:23.359
 thirsty,

00:32:23.539 --> 00:32:23.779
 or a

00:32:23.779 --> 00:32:24.099
 stranger,

00:32:24.199 --> 00:32:24.399
 without

00:32:24.399 --> 00:32:24.859
 clothes,

00:32:24.919 --> 00:32:25.359
 or sick,

00:32:25.399 --> 00:32:25.619
 or in

00:32:25.619 --> 00:32:25.979
 prison,

00:32:26.459 --> 00:32:26.699
 and not

00:32:26.699 --> 00:32:27.119
 help you.

00:32:27.879 --> 00:32:28.359
 Then he

00:32:28.359 --> 00:32:28.799
 will answer,

00:32:28.939 --> 00:32:29.159
 Truly,

00:32:29.619 --> 00:32:30.199
 I tell you,

00:32:30.279 --> 00:32:30.719
 whatever you

00:32:30.719 --> 00:32:31.679
 did not

00:32:31.679 --> 00:32:32.219
 do for the

00:32:32.219 --> 00:32:32.579
 least of

00:32:32.579 --> 00:32:32.799
 these,

00:32:33.219 --> 00:32:33.579
 did not

00:32:33.579 --> 00:32:33.899
 do for

00:32:33.899 --> 00:32:34.099
 me.

00:32:35.319 --> 00:32:35.739
 Then they

00:32:35.739 --> 00:32:36.039
 will go

00:32:36.039 --> 00:32:36.519
 away into

00:32:36.519 --> 00:32:36.879
 eternal

00:32:36.879 --> 00:32:37.379
 punishment,

00:32:37.599 --> 00:32:37.859
 but the

00:32:37.859 --> 00:32:38.219
 righteous

00:32:38.219 --> 00:32:38.819
 into

00:32:38.819 --> 00:32:39.299
 eternal

00:32:39.299 --> 00:32:39.799
 life.

00:32:40.939 --> 00:32:41.539
 There's a

00:32:41.539 --> 00:32:42.319
 great example

00:32:42.319 --> 00:32:42.919
 of the

00:32:42.919 --> 00:32:43.239
 sin of

00:32:43.239 --> 00:32:43.699
 omission,

00:32:43.819 --> 00:32:43.979
 right?

00:32:45.579 --> 00:32:46.059
 Not

00:32:46.059 --> 00:32:46.779
 seeing,

00:32:47.039 --> 00:32:47.599
 not doing,

00:32:47.899 --> 00:32:48.079
 right?

00:32:48.199 --> 00:32:48.759
 Like Jesus,

00:32:49.079 --> 00:32:49.419
 we never

00:32:49.419 --> 00:32:49.859
 saw you

00:32:49.859 --> 00:32:50.279
 out there

00:32:50.279 --> 00:32:51.299
 begging,

00:32:52.059 --> 00:32:52.299
 right?

00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:53.259
 I mean,

00:32:53.299 --> 00:32:53.719
 we saw a

00:32:53.719 --> 00:32:53.979
 beggar,

00:32:54.059 --> 00:32:54.279
 but we

00:32:54.279 --> 00:32:54.659
 didn't see

00:32:54.659 --> 00:32:54.819
 you.

00:32:54.899 --> 00:32:55.179
 We chose

00:32:55.179 --> 00:32:55.519
 to ignore

00:32:55.519 --> 00:32:55.739
 him.

00:32:56.559 --> 00:32:56.919
 Another

00:32:56.919 --> 00:32:57.819
 example of

00:32:57.819 --> 00:32:58.179
 the sin

00:32:58.179 --> 00:32:58.979
 of omission

00:32:58.979 --> 00:33:01.399
 is the

00:33:01.399 --> 00:33:02.000
 parable of

00:33:02.000 --> 00:33:02.259
 the Good

00:33:02.259 --> 00:33:02.739
 Samaritan,

00:33:03.539 --> 00:33:03.779
 right?

00:33:04.959 --> 00:33:05.619
 There's a

00:33:05.619 --> 00:33:06.179
 man who's

00:33:06.179 --> 00:33:06.579
 beaten,

00:33:07.139 --> 00:33:07.339
 right?

00:33:07.439 --> 00:33:07.879
 Laying

00:33:07.879 --> 00:33:08.199
 there,

00:33:09.019 --> 00:33:10.019
 not like

00:33:10.019 --> 00:33:11.039
 so weak,

00:33:11.279 --> 00:33:11.919
 can't do

00:33:11.919 --> 00:33:12.399
 anything.

00:33:12.939 --> 00:33:13.179
 A

00:33:13.179 --> 00:33:13.619
 Levitical

00:33:13.619 --> 00:33:14.239
 priest goes

00:33:14.239 --> 00:33:14.539
 by,

00:33:14.539 --> 00:33:15.039
 right?

00:33:17.619 --> 00:33:19.319
 walks away,

00:33:19.959 --> 00:33:20.779
 and then

00:33:20.779 --> 00:33:21.719
 a Good

00:33:21.719 --> 00:33:22.199
 Samaritan

00:33:22.199 --> 00:33:22.659
 comes,

00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:22.959
 right?

00:33:23.899 --> 00:33:24.259
 Takes

00:33:24.259 --> 00:33:24.839
 care of

00:33:24.839 --> 00:33:25.299
 this man,

00:33:25.699 --> 00:33:26.079
 bandages

00:33:26.079 --> 00:33:26.699
 his wound,

00:33:27.179 --> 00:33:27.579
 takes him

00:33:27.579 --> 00:33:27.879
 to an

00:33:27.879 --> 00:33:28.119
 inn,

00:33:28.299 --> 00:33:28.659
 and have

00:33:28.659 --> 00:33:29.319
 the innkeeper

00:33:29.319 --> 00:33:29.899
 look after

00:33:29.899 --> 00:33:30.079
 him.

00:33:30.759 --> 00:33:31.319
 That

00:33:31.319 --> 00:33:31.859
 Levitical

00:33:31.859 --> 00:33:32.799
 priest is

00:33:32.799 --> 00:33:33.959
 showing a

00:33:33.959 --> 00:33:34.539
 sin of

00:33:34.539 --> 00:33:35.039
 omission,

00:33:35.500 --> 00:33:36.299
 not loving

00:33:36.299 --> 00:33:36.859
 his neighbor,

00:33:37.019 --> 00:33:37.719
 not taking

00:33:37.719 --> 00:33:39.219
 care of

00:33:39.219 --> 00:33:39.679
 him as he

00:33:39.679 --> 00:33:40.019
 shouldn't.

00:33:40.019 --> 00:33:43.400
 And then

00:33:43.400 --> 00:33:45.839
 another

00:33:45.839 --> 00:33:46.660
 example of

00:33:46.660 --> 00:33:47.099
 this is

00:33:47.099 --> 00:33:47.400
 not

00:33:47.400 --> 00:33:47.980
 forgiving

00:33:47.980 --> 00:33:48.379
 when we

00:33:48.379 --> 00:33:48.559
 should.

00:33:49.839 --> 00:33:49.980
 Right?

00:33:50.400 --> 00:33:51.000
 Talked about

00:33:51.000 --> 00:33:51.440
 earlier,

00:33:51.920 --> 00:33:52.579
 Jesus and

00:33:52.579 --> 00:33:52.859
 Peter,

00:33:53.680 --> 00:33:54.079
 like we're

00:33:54.079 --> 00:33:54.759
 commanded to

00:33:54.759 --> 00:33:55.220
 forgive,

00:33:55.799 --> 00:33:56.379
 but sometimes

00:33:56.379 --> 00:33:57.059
 we withhold

00:33:57.059 --> 00:33:57.319
 them,

00:33:57.720 --> 00:33:57.879
 right?

00:33:58.379 --> 00:33:58.740
 It's within

00:33:58.740 --> 00:33:59.359
 our hearts,

00:34:00.180 --> 00:34:00.920
 can't really

00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:01.500
 see it,

00:34:02.160 --> 00:34:02.759
 but we're

00:34:02.759 --> 00:34:03.180
 not doing

00:34:03.180 --> 00:34:03.319
 it,

00:34:03.379 --> 00:34:03.599
 we're

00:34:03.599 --> 00:34:04.019
 admitting

00:34:04.019 --> 00:34:04.299
 it,

00:34:04.879 --> 00:34:05.480
 and it's

00:34:05.480 --> 00:34:05.779
 a sin.

00:34:05.779 --> 00:34:09.940
 And yet

00:34:09.940 --> 00:34:10.360
 another

00:34:10.360 --> 00:34:11.119
 example of

00:34:11.119 --> 00:34:11.699
 this is

00:34:11.699 --> 00:34:12.159
 not

00:34:12.159 --> 00:34:12.880
 evangelizing,

00:34:13.599 --> 00:34:15.699
 sin of

00:34:15.699 --> 00:34:16.119
 omission,

00:34:16.659 --> 00:34:18.159
 because

00:34:18.159 --> 00:34:19.000
 evangelism

00:34:19.000 --> 00:34:19.759
 is a

00:34:19.759 --> 00:34:20.079
 command,

00:34:20.639 --> 00:34:21.480
 something that

00:34:21.480 --> 00:34:21.900
 we must

00:34:21.900 --> 00:34:22.219
 do,

00:34:22.739 --> 00:34:23.300
 and not

00:34:23.300 --> 00:34:23.820
 doing it

00:34:23.820 --> 00:34:24.719
 is sinning,

00:34:25.019 --> 00:34:25.259
 it's a

00:34:25.259 --> 00:34:25.940
 sin of

00:34:25.940 --> 00:34:26.380
 omission.

00:34:27.400 --> 00:34:28.099
 Now some

00:34:28.099 --> 00:34:28.860
 might think,

00:34:28.940 --> 00:34:29.360
 hey Zemir,

00:34:30.860 --> 00:34:31.900
 sounds like

00:34:31.900 --> 00:34:32.579
 you're bordering

00:34:32.579 --> 00:34:33.340
 legalism here,

00:34:34.639 --> 00:34:35.300
 talking about

00:34:35.300 --> 00:34:35.699
 Levitical

00:34:35.699 --> 00:34:36.179
 priests and

00:34:36.179 --> 00:34:36.559
 everything.

00:34:37.919 --> 00:34:38.639
 Well let's

00:34:38.639 --> 00:34:39.000
 go there.

00:34:40.179 --> 00:34:40.939
 What is

00:34:40.939 --> 00:34:41.480
 legalism,

00:34:41.559 --> 00:34:41.739
 right?

00:34:44.059 --> 00:34:44.519
 I put,

00:34:44.980 --> 00:34:45.919
 it's a

00:34:45.919 --> 00:34:46.739
 practice of

00:34:46.739 --> 00:34:47.559
 working within

00:34:47.559 --> 00:34:48.239
 a set moral

00:34:48.239 --> 00:34:48.739
 code of

00:34:48.739 --> 00:34:49.980
 commands in

00:34:49.980 --> 00:34:50.919
 order to

00:34:50.919 --> 00:34:51.480
 do good

00:34:51.480 --> 00:34:53.139
 for yourself

00:34:53.139 --> 00:34:53.839
 to get to

00:34:53.839 --> 00:34:54.079
 God,

00:34:54.619 --> 00:34:55.219
 right?

00:34:56.019 --> 00:34:56.859
 In other

00:34:56.859 --> 00:34:57.199
 words,

00:34:57.319 --> 00:34:58.019
 legalism is

00:34:58.019 --> 00:34:58.559
 focused on

00:34:58.559 --> 00:34:58.980
 the self.

00:34:59.679 --> 00:35:00.319
 The object

00:35:00.319 --> 00:35:00.939
 of one's

00:35:00.939 --> 00:35:01.599
 worship is

00:35:01.599 --> 00:35:02.960
 directed towards

00:35:02.960 --> 00:35:04.079
 how well

00:35:04.079 --> 00:35:05.399
 or how much

00:35:05.400 --> 00:35:05.720
 he can

00:35:05.720 --> 00:35:06.220
 obey a

00:35:06.220 --> 00:35:06.460
 set of

00:35:06.460 --> 00:35:06.820
 commands,

00:35:06.820 --> 00:35:08.099
 right?

00:35:08.940 --> 00:35:09.780
 It's set

00:35:09.780 --> 00:35:10.300
 on him.

00:35:10.400 --> 00:35:10.780
 He's the

00:35:10.780 --> 00:35:11.340
 object of

00:35:11.340 --> 00:35:11.780
 his worship

00:35:11.780 --> 00:35:12.220
 so that

00:35:12.220 --> 00:35:12.680
 he can

00:35:12.680 --> 00:35:13.840
 get somewhere,

00:35:14.260 --> 00:35:14.980
 right?

00:35:15.880 --> 00:35:16.920
 I totally

00:35:16.920 --> 00:35:17.559
 disagree with

00:35:17.559 --> 00:35:18.059
 legalism.

00:35:19.260 --> 00:35:19.920
 Don't

00:35:19.920 --> 00:35:20.220
 practice

00:35:20.220 --> 00:35:20.780
 legalism.

00:35:22.539 --> 00:35:23.700
 The object

00:35:23.700 --> 00:35:24.180
 of our

00:35:24.180 --> 00:35:25.059
 affection within

00:35:25.059 --> 00:35:25.840
 evangelism

00:35:25.840 --> 00:35:27.300
 must be

00:35:27.300 --> 00:35:27.900
 God.

00:35:27.900 --> 00:35:27.940
 God.

00:35:30.119 --> 00:35:31.079
 Whether we

00:35:31.079 --> 00:35:32.360
 are evangelizing

00:35:32.360 --> 00:35:33.039
 someone or

00:35:33.039 --> 00:35:33.980
 offering

00:35:33.980 --> 00:35:35.019
 forgiveness as

00:35:35.019 --> 00:35:35.539
 we're commanded,

00:35:36.099 --> 00:35:36.820
 like, we

00:35:36.820 --> 00:35:37.440
 don't forgive

00:35:37.440 --> 00:35:38.160
 someone so

00:35:38.160 --> 00:35:38.559
 that they

00:35:38.559 --> 00:35:39.240
 would see how

00:35:39.240 --> 00:35:39.680
 well we

00:35:39.680 --> 00:35:40.420
 are, right?

00:35:40.800 --> 00:35:41.539
 If we're

00:35:41.539 --> 00:35:42.340
 forgiving someone

00:35:42.340 --> 00:35:42.900
 so that they

00:35:42.900 --> 00:35:43.500
 can see how

00:35:43.500 --> 00:35:44.260
 good we are,

00:35:44.599 --> 00:35:45.200
 it's not true

00:35:45.200 --> 00:35:45.639
 forgiveness,

00:35:46.039 --> 00:35:46.280
 right?

00:35:46.700 --> 00:35:47.280
 If we're

00:35:47.280 --> 00:35:48.039
 fasting so

00:35:48.039 --> 00:35:48.480
 that other

00:35:48.480 --> 00:35:49.000
 people would

00:35:49.000 --> 00:35:50.079
 see, like,

00:35:50.599 --> 00:35:51.240
 our piety,

00:35:52.539 --> 00:35:53.320
 like, Jesus

00:35:53.320 --> 00:35:54.220
 says, your

00:35:54.220 --> 00:35:56.160
 reward has

00:35:56.160 --> 00:35:56.700
 already been

00:35:56.699 --> 00:35:57.219
 given to you

00:35:57.219 --> 00:35:57.679
 by men.

00:35:58.259 --> 00:35:58.519
 Our

00:35:58.519 --> 00:35:59.559
 evangelism must

00:35:59.559 --> 00:36:00.819
 be God-centered

00:36:00.819 --> 00:36:01.839
 and God-focused,

00:36:02.119 --> 00:36:02.339
 right?

00:36:07.379 --> 00:36:09.000
 Now, what I

00:36:09.000 --> 00:36:09.539
 do want to

00:36:09.539 --> 00:36:10.619
 note in

00:36:10.619 --> 00:36:12.419
 legalism and

00:36:12.419 --> 00:36:13.559
 evangelism and

00:36:13.559 --> 00:36:14.279
 the command to

00:36:14.279 --> 00:36:15.559
 evangelize is

00:36:15.559 --> 00:36:16.259
 that it doesn't

00:36:16.259 --> 00:36:17.000
 have a limit,

00:36:17.299 --> 00:36:17.559
 right?

00:36:17.839 --> 00:36:18.639
 It's not

00:36:18.639 --> 00:36:19.879
 evangelize 10

00:36:19.879 --> 00:36:20.379
 times and

00:36:20.379 --> 00:36:20.799
 you're good,

00:36:21.159 --> 00:36:22.500
 right?

00:36:22.539 --> 00:36:23.419
 Or forgive

00:36:23.419 --> 00:36:24.859
 77 people and

00:36:24.859 --> 00:36:25.239
 you don't have

00:36:25.239 --> 00:36:25.839
 to do it again.

00:36:26.699 --> 00:36:27.799
 it's

00:36:27.799 --> 00:36:28.399
 lifelong.

00:36:28.919 --> 00:36:29.480
 It's

00:36:29.480 --> 00:36:30.839
 lifelong God-centered

00:36:30.839 --> 00:36:31.480
 obedience,

00:36:32.219 --> 00:36:32.960
 just like

00:36:32.960 --> 00:36:34.639
 there isn't

00:36:34.639 --> 00:36:35.319
 an amount

00:36:35.319 --> 00:36:36.319
 to how many

00:36:36.319 --> 00:36:36.779
 people you

00:36:36.779 --> 00:36:37.239
 should forgive.

00:36:39.439 --> 00:36:39.679
 Right?

00:36:41.279 --> 00:36:41.919
 So,

00:36:42.299 --> 00:36:43.379
 some conclusions.

00:36:44.919 --> 00:36:45.079
 So,

00:36:45.199 --> 00:36:46.179
 landing the

00:36:46.179 --> 00:36:46.519
 plane,

00:36:46.879 --> 00:36:47.239
 coming to

00:36:47.239 --> 00:36:47.619
 an end,

00:36:48.500 --> 00:36:49.339
 is,

00:36:49.539 --> 00:36:49.980
 if you guys

00:36:49.980 --> 00:36:50.419
 want to turn

00:36:50.419 --> 00:36:51.059
 with me to

00:36:51.059 --> 00:36:52.079
 Ephesians 6,

00:36:52.679 --> 00:36:53.699
 verse 10 to

00:36:53.699 --> 00:36:54.079
 19.

00:37:02.439 --> 00:37:03.239
 Paul writes,

00:37:03.799 --> 00:37:04.739
 finally,

00:37:05.000 --> 00:37:05.559
 be strengthened

00:37:05.559 --> 00:37:06.259
 by the Lord

00:37:06.259 --> 00:37:07.179
 and by his

00:37:07.179 --> 00:37:08.039
 vast strength.

00:37:08.919 --> 00:37:09.399
 Put on the

00:37:09.399 --> 00:37:10.119
 full armor of

00:37:10.119 --> 00:37:10.679
 God so that

00:37:10.679 --> 00:37:11.359
 you can stand

00:37:11.359 --> 00:37:11.919
 against the

00:37:11.919 --> 00:37:12.379
 schemes of

00:37:12.379 --> 00:37:12.639
 Satan.

00:37:13.219 --> 00:37:13.819
 For our

00:37:13.819 --> 00:37:14.319
 struggle is

00:37:14.319 --> 00:37:14.899
 not against

00:37:14.899 --> 00:37:15.519
 flesh and

00:37:15.519 --> 00:37:15.779
 blood,

00:37:15.919 --> 00:37:16.379
 but against

00:37:16.379 --> 00:37:16.879
 the rulers,

00:37:17.480 --> 00:37:18.039
 against the

00:37:18.039 --> 00:37:18.559
 authorities,

00:37:19.279 --> 00:37:19.659
 against the

00:37:19.659 --> 00:37:20.539
 cosmic powers

00:37:20.539 --> 00:37:21.820
 of this

00:37:21.820 --> 00:37:22.199
 darkness,

00:37:22.340 --> 00:37:23.019
 against evil

00:37:23.019 --> 00:37:23.940
 spiritual forces

00:37:23.940 --> 00:37:24.259
 in the

00:37:24.259 --> 00:37:24.440
 heaven.

00:37:24.539 --> 00:37:24.860
 For this

00:37:24.860 --> 00:37:25.159
 reason,

00:37:25.259 --> 00:37:25.559
 take up

00:37:25.559 --> 00:37:25.980
 the full

00:37:25.980 --> 00:37:26.500
 armor of

00:37:26.500 --> 00:37:27.380
 God so

00:37:27.380 --> 00:37:27.739
 that you

00:37:27.739 --> 00:37:28.059
 may be

00:37:28.059 --> 00:37:28.420
 able to

00:37:28.420 --> 00:37:29.079
 resist in

00:37:29.079 --> 00:37:29.400
 the evil

00:37:29.400 --> 00:37:29.759
 day.

00:37:30.380 --> 00:37:30.759
 And having

00:37:30.759 --> 00:37:31.320
 prepared

00:37:31.320 --> 00:37:31.860
 everything,

00:37:32.659 --> 00:37:33.079
 take your

00:37:33.079 --> 00:37:33.420
 stand.

00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:35.559
 Stand,

00:37:35.679 --> 00:37:35.920
 therefore,

00:37:36.179 --> 00:37:36.900
 with truth

00:37:36.900 --> 00:37:37.599
 like a

00:37:37.599 --> 00:37:38.199
 belt around

00:37:38.199 --> 00:37:38.699
 your waist,

00:37:38.880 --> 00:37:39.320
 righteousness

00:37:39.320 --> 00:37:40.199
 like armor

00:37:40.199 --> 00:37:41.059
 on your

00:37:41.059 --> 00:37:41.460
 chest,

00:37:41.599 --> 00:37:42.099
 and feet

00:37:42.099 --> 00:37:42.840
 sandaled

00:37:42.840 --> 00:37:44.179
 with the

00:37:44.179 --> 00:37:44.599
 readiness

00:37:44.599 --> 00:37:45.639
 for the

00:37:45.639 --> 00:37:46.179
 gospel of

00:37:46.179 --> 00:37:46.440
 peace.

00:37:46.800 --> 00:37:47.440
 In every

00:37:47.440 --> 00:37:48.039
 situation,

00:37:48.199 --> 00:37:48.519
 take up

00:37:48.519 --> 00:37:48.920
 the shield

00:37:48.920 --> 00:37:49.380
 of faith

00:37:49.380 --> 00:37:50.519
 with which

00:37:50.519 --> 00:37:50.860
 you can

00:37:50.860 --> 00:37:51.460
 extinguish

00:37:51.460 --> 00:37:51.880
 all the

00:37:51.880 --> 00:37:52.559
 flaming arrows

00:37:52.559 --> 00:37:52.900
 of the

00:37:52.900 --> 00:37:53.340
 evil one.

00:37:53.920 --> 00:37:54.360
 Take the

00:37:54.360 --> 00:37:54.900
 helmet of

00:37:54.900 --> 00:37:55.480
 salvation

00:37:55.480 --> 00:37:57.000
 and the

00:37:57.000 --> 00:37:57.400
 sword of

00:37:57.400 --> 00:37:57.800
 the spirit,

00:37:57.900 --> 00:37:58.160
 which is

00:37:58.160 --> 00:37:58.440
 the word

00:37:58.440 --> 00:37:58.820
 of God.

00:37:59.660 --> 00:38:00.200
 Pray at

00:38:00.200 --> 00:38:00.880
 all times

00:38:00.880 --> 00:38:01.180
 in the

00:38:01.180 --> 00:38:01.700
 spirit with

00:38:01.700 --> 00:38:02.599
 every prayer

00:38:02.599 --> 00:38:03.200
 and request.

00:38:03.360 --> 00:38:03.820
 Stay alert

00:38:03.820 --> 00:38:04.920
 with perseverance

00:38:04.920 --> 00:38:05.980
 and intercessions

00:38:05.980 --> 00:38:06.480
 for all the

00:38:06.480 --> 00:38:06.760
 saints.

00:38:07.559 --> 00:38:07.960
 Pray also

00:38:07.960 --> 00:38:08.480
 for me,

00:38:08.880 --> 00:38:09.460
 that the

00:38:09.460 --> 00:38:10.400
 message may

00:38:10.400 --> 00:38:10.720
 be given

00:38:10.720 --> 00:38:11.200
 to me when

00:38:11.200 --> 00:38:11.599
 I open

00:38:11.599 --> 00:38:12.099
 my mouth

00:38:12.099 --> 00:38:12.480
 to make

00:38:12.480 --> 00:38:13.340
 known the

00:38:13.340 --> 00:38:13.900
 boldness,

00:38:14.059 --> 00:38:14.519
 the mystery,

00:38:15.300 --> 00:38:15.940
 boldness,

00:38:16.180 --> 00:38:17.320
 with boldness,

00:38:17.400 --> 00:38:17.860
 the mystery of

00:38:17.860 --> 00:38:18.320
 the gospel.

00:38:18.539 --> 00:38:18.920
 For this,

00:38:19.019 --> 00:38:19.300
 I'm an

00:38:19.300 --> 00:38:19.780
 ambassador

00:38:19.780 --> 00:38:20.400
 in chains.

00:38:21.140 --> 00:38:21.460
 Pray that

00:38:21.460 --> 00:38:21.840
 I might

00:38:21.840 --> 00:38:22.340
 also.

00:38:23.420 --> 00:38:24.100
 Pray that

00:38:24.100 --> 00:38:24.440
 I might

00:38:24.440 --> 00:38:24.800
 be bold

00:38:24.800 --> 00:38:25.220
 enough to

00:38:25.220 --> 00:38:25.760
 speak about

00:38:25.760 --> 00:38:25.940
 it.

00:38:26.140 --> 00:38:26.260
 I

00:38:26.260 --> 00:38:26.600
 shouldn't.

00:38:27.700 --> 00:38:27.960
 Right?

00:38:28.480 --> 00:38:28.880
 So,

00:38:29.640 --> 00:38:30.340
 I have

00:38:30.340 --> 00:38:30.820
 seven

00:38:30.820 --> 00:38:31.420
 application

00:38:31.420 --> 00:38:31.840
 points.

00:38:34.200 --> 00:38:35.060
 The first

00:38:35.060 --> 00:38:35.740
 is pray.

00:38:37.640 --> 00:38:38.300
 Prayer is

00:38:38.300 --> 00:38:38.620
 the first

00:38:38.620 --> 00:38:38.860
 thing.

00:38:39.500 --> 00:38:39.920
 Paul says

00:38:39.920 --> 00:38:40.240
 it three

00:38:40.240 --> 00:38:40.660
 times.

00:38:41.160 --> 00:38:41.440
 Pray at

00:38:41.440 --> 00:38:42.019
 all times.

00:38:42.440 --> 00:38:42.760
 Then in

00:38:42.760 --> 00:38:43.800
 verse 18,

00:38:44.320 --> 00:38:45.760
 then 19,

00:38:45.980 --> 00:38:46.640
 pray also

00:38:46.640 --> 00:38:47.080
 for me.

00:38:47.460 --> 00:38:47.780
 Then in

00:38:47.780 --> 00:38:48.080
 20,

00:38:48.500 --> 00:38:48.780
 pray that

00:38:48.780 --> 00:38:49.060
 I might

00:38:49.060 --> 00:38:49.460
 be bold.

00:38:50.140 --> 00:38:50.700
 Three

00:38:50.700 --> 00:38:51.400
 times in

00:38:51.400 --> 00:38:51.760
 the same

00:38:51.760 --> 00:38:52.160
 section.

00:38:52.560 --> 00:38:53.300
 If we're

00:38:53.300 --> 00:38:54.100
 not praying

00:38:54.100 --> 00:38:56.240
 towards being

00:38:56.240 --> 00:38:56.640
 bold,

00:38:57.300 --> 00:38:58.780
 toward saying,

00:38:58.860 --> 00:38:59.120
 God,

00:38:59.220 --> 00:38:59.880
 I am so

00:38:59.880 --> 00:39:00.220
 weak.

00:39:00.700 --> 00:39:01.380
 I need

00:39:01.380 --> 00:39:01.800
 your help

00:39:01.800 --> 00:39:02.440
 to go out

00:39:02.440 --> 00:39:02.840
 and preach

00:39:02.840 --> 00:39:03.400
 the gospel.

00:39:04.820 --> 00:39:05.620
 A man

00:39:05.620 --> 00:39:06.240
 like Paul

00:39:06.240 --> 00:39:07.100
 who's asking

00:39:07.100 --> 00:39:07.940
 the Ephesians

00:39:07.940 --> 00:39:08.500
 for prayer,

00:39:09.019 --> 00:39:09.940
 then we'll

00:39:09.940 --> 00:39:10.740
 always be

00:39:10.740 --> 00:39:11.040
 weak.

00:39:11.880 --> 00:39:11.980
 Right?

00:39:12.120 --> 00:39:12.740
 The beginning

00:39:12.740 --> 00:39:13.620
 of that is

00:39:13.620 --> 00:39:14.840
 we're against

00:39:14.840 --> 00:39:15.780
 our struggle

00:39:15.780 --> 00:39:16.100
 is not

00:39:16.100 --> 00:39:16.340
 against

00:39:16.340 --> 00:39:16.820
 flesh and

00:39:16.820 --> 00:39:17.120
 blood.

00:39:17.539 --> 00:39:17.880
 It's

00:39:17.880 --> 00:39:18.079
 against

00:39:18.079 --> 00:39:18.280
 the

00:39:18.280 --> 00:39:18.660
 cosmic

00:39:18.660 --> 00:39:19.200
 rulers.

00:39:19.620 --> 00:39:19.720
 Right?

00:39:20.880 --> 00:39:21.220
 Satan

00:39:21.220 --> 00:39:21.700
 wants to

00:39:21.700 --> 00:39:22.340
 suppress

00:39:22.340 --> 00:39:23.200
 that desire,

00:39:23.320 --> 00:39:23.900
 that urge

00:39:23.900 --> 00:39:25.220
 to go and

00:39:25.220 --> 00:39:25.640
 preach the

00:39:25.640 --> 00:39:25.940
 gospel.

00:39:26.480 --> 00:39:26.920
 If we're not

00:39:26.920 --> 00:39:28.120
 actively fighting

00:39:28.120 --> 00:39:28.760
 against that,

00:39:28.820 --> 00:39:29.400
 we won't do

00:39:29.400 --> 00:39:29.579
 it.

00:39:30.579 --> 00:39:30.860
 Truly,

00:39:31.100 --> 00:39:31.880
 prayer is

00:39:31.880 --> 00:39:32.480
 our greatest

00:39:32.480 --> 00:39:34.260
 weapon and

00:39:34.260 --> 00:39:35.340
 defense by

00:39:35.340 --> 00:39:35.660
 saying,

00:39:35.780 --> 00:39:35.980
 Satan,

00:39:36.059 --> 00:39:36.700
 I rebuke

00:39:36.700 --> 00:39:37.039
 you in the

00:39:37.039 --> 00:39:37.380
 name of

00:39:37.380 --> 00:39:37.660
 Jesus.

00:39:37.659 --> 00:39:39.839
 And then

00:39:39.839 --> 00:39:40.339
 the second

00:39:40.339 --> 00:39:41.000
 one is

00:39:41.000 --> 00:39:41.920
 go evangelist.

00:39:43.319 --> 00:39:44.159
 Do it.

00:39:44.659 --> 00:39:44.839
 Right?

00:39:45.239 --> 00:39:45.519
 It doesn't

00:39:45.519 --> 00:39:45.799
 matter.

00:39:46.199 --> 00:39:46.480
 It doesn't

00:39:46.480 --> 00:39:47.079
 matter like

00:39:47.079 --> 00:39:47.579
 where you

00:39:47.579 --> 00:39:47.980
 go,

00:39:48.599 --> 00:39:49.579
 what specific

00:39:49.579 --> 00:39:51.460
 thing you're

00:39:51.460 --> 00:39:51.799
 doing,

00:39:52.259 --> 00:39:52.699
 do it.

00:39:53.980 --> 00:39:54.960
 I love

00:39:54.960 --> 00:39:55.539
 going door

00:39:55.539 --> 00:39:55.839
 to door

00:39:55.839 --> 00:39:56.480
 and evangelize.

00:39:56.899 --> 00:39:57.359
 I love

00:39:57.359 --> 00:39:58.000
 taking people

00:39:58.000 --> 00:39:58.359
 with me

00:39:58.359 --> 00:39:58.879
 because they're

00:39:58.879 --> 00:39:59.519
 so squirmy.

00:40:00.899 --> 00:40:02.079
 But it

00:40:02.079 --> 00:40:02.799
 takes away

00:40:02.799 --> 00:40:03.319
 so much

00:40:03.319 --> 00:40:03.719
 fear.

00:40:04.619 --> 00:40:04.739
 Right?

00:40:05.259 --> 00:40:05.899
 People who

00:40:05.899 --> 00:40:06.799
 are like

00:40:06.799 --> 00:40:07.460
 have so much

00:40:07.460 --> 00:40:07.940
 pent up

00:40:07.940 --> 00:40:09.280
 fear within

00:40:09.280 --> 00:40:10.280
 them because

00:40:10.280 --> 00:40:11.880
 like Satan

00:40:11.880 --> 00:40:12.760
 is coming

00:40:12.760 --> 00:40:13.440
 against them

00:40:13.440 --> 00:40:14.380
 saying,

00:40:14.800 --> 00:40:15.300
 why are you

00:40:15.300 --> 00:40:15.960
 doing this?

00:40:16.500 --> 00:40:16.960
 Puts them

00:40:16.960 --> 00:40:17.420
 out of their

00:40:17.420 --> 00:40:18.099
 comfort zone.

00:40:18.199 --> 00:40:18.699
 They don't

00:40:18.699 --> 00:40:19.079
 want to do

00:40:19.079 --> 00:40:19.199
 it.

00:40:19.240 --> 00:40:19.440
 It's so

00:40:19.440 --> 00:40:20.039
 squirmy.

00:40:20.440 --> 00:40:20.599
 Right?

00:40:21.159 --> 00:40:21.780
 If you're

00:40:21.780 --> 00:40:22.480
 not equipped

00:40:22.480 --> 00:40:23.300
 with prayer,

00:40:23.679 --> 00:40:23.960
 right,

00:40:24.400 --> 00:40:25.119
 you will not

00:40:25.119 --> 00:40:25.519
 do it.

00:40:26.340 --> 00:40:27.119
 You truly

00:40:27.119 --> 00:40:27.639
 will not.

00:40:27.960 --> 00:40:28.880
 Whether you

00:40:28.880 --> 00:40:29.559
 have the gift

00:40:29.559 --> 00:40:30.440
 of evangelism

00:40:30.440 --> 00:40:31.119
 or not.

00:40:31.860 --> 00:40:32.300
 Right?

00:40:32.360 --> 00:40:32.860
 We must

00:40:32.860 --> 00:40:33.599
 depend and

00:40:33.599 --> 00:40:34.639
 rely solely

00:40:34.639 --> 00:40:35.599
 on the power

00:40:35.599 --> 00:40:36.659
 of God

00:40:36.659 --> 00:40:37.420
 to preach

00:40:37.420 --> 00:40:37.799
 the gospel

00:40:37.799 --> 00:40:39.000
 because we're

00:40:39.000 --> 00:40:39.679
 not against

00:40:39.679 --> 00:40:40.219
 flesh and

00:40:40.219 --> 00:40:40.480
 blood.

00:40:41.319 --> 00:40:42.139
 When we are

00:40:42.139 --> 00:40:42.719
 preaching the

00:40:42.719 --> 00:40:43.079
 gospel,

00:40:43.399 --> 00:40:43.899
 when we are

00:40:43.899 --> 00:40:44.899
 evangelizing to

00:40:44.899 --> 00:40:45.559
 that person,

00:40:46.119 --> 00:40:46.960
 we're also

00:40:46.960 --> 00:40:47.940
 like preaching

00:40:47.940 --> 00:40:48.779
 against all

00:40:48.779 --> 00:40:50.440
 the demons

00:40:50.440 --> 00:40:50.799
 that are

00:40:50.799 --> 00:40:51.879
 whispering lies

00:40:51.879 --> 00:40:52.319
 to them

00:40:52.319 --> 00:40:52.699
 saying,

00:40:52.879 --> 00:40:53.440
 why do you

00:40:53.440 --> 00:40:53.619
 want to

00:40:53.619 --> 00:40:54.159
 believe this?

00:40:55.259 --> 00:40:55.879
 Like you

00:40:55.879 --> 00:40:56.279
 are doing

00:40:56.279 --> 00:40:56.920
 good yourself.

00:40:58.199 --> 00:40:59.079
 Like you're

00:40:59.079 --> 00:41:01.399
 trying to

00:41:01.399 --> 00:41:01.960
 get them to

00:41:01.960 --> 00:41:02.799
 believe and

00:41:02.799 --> 00:41:03.639
 you yourself

00:41:03.639 --> 00:41:05.400
 must gird

00:41:05.400 --> 00:41:06.359
 your loins

00:41:06.359 --> 00:41:07.500
 prayer.

00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:10.819
 One of the

00:41:10.819 --> 00:41:11.779
 biggest stoppers

00:41:11.779 --> 00:41:12.279
 for people

00:41:12.279 --> 00:41:12.839
 going and

00:41:12.839 --> 00:41:13.359
 evangelizing

00:41:13.359 --> 00:41:13.779
 is fear,

00:41:13.879 --> 00:41:14.039
 guys.

00:41:16.379 --> 00:41:17.400
 It's what

00:41:17.400 --> 00:41:17.900
 people,

00:41:18.279 --> 00:41:18.759
 whether they

00:41:18.759 --> 00:41:19.179
 can think

00:41:19.179 --> 00:41:19.900
 about me,

00:41:20.319 --> 00:41:21.420
 like I

00:41:21.420 --> 00:41:21.639
 don't want

00:41:21.639 --> 00:41:22.239
 to do it.

00:41:22.900 --> 00:41:23.859
 Like it's

00:41:23.859 --> 00:41:24.159
 fear.

00:41:24.359 --> 00:41:24.719
 People are

00:41:24.719 --> 00:41:25.279
 pent up with

00:41:25.279 --> 00:41:25.579
 fear.

00:41:26.000 --> 00:41:26.440
 They don't

00:41:26.440 --> 00:41:26.819
 want to do

00:41:26.819 --> 00:41:27.039
 it.

00:41:27.500 --> 00:41:28.119
 And so you

00:41:28.119 --> 00:41:28.879
 need to pray.

00:41:28.880 --> 00:41:30.340
 That fear

00:41:30.340 --> 00:41:30.820
 is not

00:41:30.820 --> 00:41:31.480
 from yourself.

00:41:32.260 --> 00:41:32.900
 That fear

00:41:32.900 --> 00:41:33.720
 really is

00:41:33.720 --> 00:41:34.539
 from cosmic

00:41:34.539 --> 00:41:35.039
 powers.

00:41:35.900 --> 00:41:36.420
 That's

00:41:36.420 --> 00:41:37.119
 ungodly

00:41:37.119 --> 00:41:37.539
 fear.

00:41:38.180 --> 00:41:38.280
 Right?

00:41:38.680 --> 00:41:39.019
 As I've

00:41:39.019 --> 00:41:39.640
 said earlier,

00:41:40.220 --> 00:41:40.820
 the spirit,

00:41:41.119 --> 00:41:41.460
 the most

00:41:41.460 --> 00:41:42.500
 powerful being

00:41:42.500 --> 00:41:42.800
 in the

00:41:42.800 --> 00:41:43.500
 universe is

00:41:43.500 --> 00:41:44.360
 given to

00:41:44.360 --> 00:41:44.700
 us.

00:41:45.180 --> 00:41:45.740
 Right?

00:41:46.860 --> 00:41:47.380
 And it's

00:41:47.380 --> 00:41:47.940
 given to

00:41:47.940 --> 00:41:48.559
 us with

00:41:48.559 --> 00:41:50.460
 power,

00:41:50.780 --> 00:41:51.099
 not a

00:41:51.099 --> 00:41:51.320
 fear.

00:41:52.440 --> 00:41:52.720
 Right?

00:41:53.019 --> 00:41:53.340
 If we're

00:41:53.340 --> 00:41:54.000
 fearful of

00:41:54.000 --> 00:41:54.420
 doing something

00:41:54.420 --> 00:41:54.940
 spiritual,

00:41:55.619 --> 00:41:56.200
 it means that

00:41:56.200 --> 00:41:56.660
 that is not

00:41:56.660 --> 00:41:57.240
 from God,

00:41:57.619 --> 00:41:58.039
 not even

00:41:58.039 --> 00:41:58.619
 from us.

00:41:58.619 --> 00:41:59.460
 either from

00:41:59.460 --> 00:41:59.960
 our flesh

00:41:59.960 --> 00:42:00.299
 or from

00:42:00.299 --> 00:42:00.619
 Satan.

00:42:01.259 --> 00:42:01.400
 Right?

00:42:01.539 --> 00:42:02.000
 Pray against

00:42:02.000 --> 00:42:02.219
 that.

00:42:02.940 --> 00:42:03.559
 A word

00:42:03.559 --> 00:42:04.159
 for men,

00:42:04.839 --> 00:42:06.159
 single and

00:42:06.159 --> 00:42:06.500
 married.

00:42:07.199 --> 00:42:07.380
 Right?

00:42:09.380 --> 00:42:10.139
 How is

00:42:10.139 --> 00:42:10.859
 your evangelism?

00:42:12.199 --> 00:42:12.440
 Right?

00:42:12.980 --> 00:42:13.519
 How is

00:42:13.519 --> 00:42:14.159
 your evangelism?

00:42:15.239 --> 00:42:15.940
 How are

00:42:15.940 --> 00:42:16.299
 you leading

00:42:16.299 --> 00:42:16.880
 your family

00:42:16.880 --> 00:42:17.619
 in evangelizing?

00:42:19.279 --> 00:42:20.019
 How are

00:42:20.019 --> 00:42:20.659
 your practices

00:42:20.659 --> 00:42:21.239
 now to

00:42:21.239 --> 00:42:21.619
 teach your

00:42:21.619 --> 00:42:22.099
 sons and

00:42:22.099 --> 00:42:22.719
 daughter that

00:42:22.719 --> 00:42:23.559
 evangelism is

00:42:23.559 --> 00:42:23.960
 important?

00:42:25.239 --> 00:42:25.880
 Single men

00:42:25.880 --> 00:42:27.099
 who have

00:42:27.099 --> 00:42:27.960
 more time

00:42:27.960 --> 00:42:28.279
 on their

00:42:28.280 --> 00:42:28.820
 hand than

00:42:28.820 --> 00:42:29.420
 married men?

00:42:30.320 --> 00:42:30.560
 What does

00:42:30.560 --> 00:42:30.900
 your time

00:42:30.900 --> 00:42:31.320
 look like?

00:42:32.160 --> 00:42:32.340
 Right?

00:42:33.060 --> 00:42:33.720
 Is this a

00:42:33.720 --> 00:42:34.340
 priority for

00:42:34.340 --> 00:42:34.540
 you?

00:42:36.180 --> 00:42:36.540
 Truly.

00:42:37.200 --> 00:42:37.760
 Word of

00:42:37.760 --> 00:42:38.019
 God,

00:42:38.260 --> 00:42:39.080
 our life is

00:42:39.080 --> 00:42:39.320
 but a

00:42:39.320 --> 00:42:39.680
 breath,

00:42:39.780 --> 00:42:40.019
 but a

00:42:40.019 --> 00:42:40.260
 vapor.

00:42:42.260 --> 00:42:42.540
 Like,

00:42:42.620 --> 00:42:43.320
 what are

00:42:43.320 --> 00:42:43.560
 you doing?

00:42:45.019 --> 00:42:45.620
 That's not

00:42:45.620 --> 00:42:46.100
 to condemn,

00:42:46.380 --> 00:42:46.880
 that's truly

00:42:46.880 --> 00:42:47.460
 for you to

00:42:47.460 --> 00:42:48.140
 reevaluate.

00:42:49.400 --> 00:42:49.880
 Like,

00:42:49.960 --> 00:42:50.460
 what is

00:42:50.460 --> 00:42:51.080
 most important

00:42:51.080 --> 00:42:51.480
 to you?

00:42:51.480 --> 00:42:54.099
 a word for

00:42:54.099 --> 00:42:54.400
 women,

00:42:55.440 --> 00:42:55.900
 single and

00:42:55.900 --> 00:42:56.139
 married.

00:42:57.760 --> 00:42:58.400
 I know

00:42:58.400 --> 00:42:59.000
 that women

00:42:59.000 --> 00:43:00.099
 mainly take

00:43:00.099 --> 00:43:00.440
 care of

00:43:00.440 --> 00:43:00.760
 kids,

00:43:00.960 --> 00:43:01.139
 right?

00:43:02.139 --> 00:43:02.820
 And my

00:43:02.820 --> 00:43:03.679
 wife does

00:43:03.679 --> 00:43:04.099
 as well.

00:43:05.019 --> 00:43:05.880
 But let

00:43:05.880 --> 00:43:06.480
 that not be

00:43:06.480 --> 00:43:07.199
 an excuse.

00:43:09.599 --> 00:43:10.079
 Take

00:43:10.079 --> 00:43:10.780
 opportunities

00:43:10.780 --> 00:43:11.780
 to go and

00:43:11.780 --> 00:43:12.260
 preach the

00:43:12.260 --> 00:43:12.639
 gospel.

00:43:13.159 --> 00:43:13.639
 Like,

00:43:13.940 --> 00:43:14.719
 everyone here

00:43:14.719 --> 00:43:15.219
 goes to the

00:43:15.219 --> 00:43:15.840
 grocery store.

00:43:15.840 --> 00:43:17.440
 I love

00:43:17.440 --> 00:43:17.920
 talking to

00:43:17.920 --> 00:43:18.600
 clerks or

00:43:18.600 --> 00:43:19.120
 just random

00:43:19.120 --> 00:43:19.660
 people who

00:43:19.660 --> 00:43:20.100
 are grabbing

00:43:20.100 --> 00:43:20.539
 the same

00:43:20.539 --> 00:43:21.240
 can as

00:43:21.240 --> 00:43:21.500
 me.

00:43:21.920 --> 00:43:22.039
 Oh,

00:43:22.059 --> 00:43:22.260
 you get

00:43:22.260 --> 00:43:22.740
 that also?

00:43:23.500 --> 00:43:25.320
 Then strike

00:43:25.320 --> 00:43:25.539
 up a

00:43:25.539 --> 00:43:26.000
 conversation.

00:43:26.160 --> 00:43:26.620
 You can.

00:43:27.160 --> 00:43:27.280
 You,

00:43:27.500 --> 00:43:27.700
 women,

00:43:27.820 --> 00:43:28.360
 you do not

00:43:28.360 --> 00:43:29.140
 have to go

00:43:29.140 --> 00:43:29.960
 door to

00:43:29.960 --> 00:43:30.320
 door and

00:43:30.320 --> 00:43:30.720
 preach the

00:43:30.720 --> 00:43:31.059
 gospel.

00:43:32.280 --> 00:43:32.940
 That's not

00:43:32.940 --> 00:43:33.519
 for everyone.

00:43:34.160 --> 00:43:34.840
 But you

00:43:34.840 --> 00:43:35.340
 can,

00:43:35.539 --> 00:43:35.960
 in your

00:43:35.960 --> 00:43:36.460
 day-to-day

00:43:36.460 --> 00:43:37.019
 routine,

00:43:37.440 --> 00:43:38.519
 be intentionally

00:43:38.519 --> 00:43:40.200
 trying to

00:43:40.200 --> 00:43:40.620
 preach the

00:43:40.620 --> 00:43:40.940
 gospel,

00:43:41.079 --> 00:43:41.460
 going to

00:43:41.460 --> 00:43:42.019
 the same

00:43:42.019 --> 00:43:42.559
 store,

00:43:42.860 --> 00:43:43.360
 trying to

00:43:43.360 --> 00:43:43.880
 preach to

00:43:43.880 --> 00:43:44.519
 the same

00:43:44.519 --> 00:43:45.480
 grocery

00:43:45.480 --> 00:43:45.860
 store

00:43:45.860 --> 00:43:46.300
 clerk,

00:43:46.960 --> 00:43:47.920
 trying to

00:43:47.920 --> 00:43:49.159
 bring someone

00:43:49.159 --> 00:43:50.019
 from your

00:43:50.019 --> 00:43:51.400
 ballet class

00:43:51.400 --> 00:43:52.599
 to hang out

00:43:52.599 --> 00:43:53.019
 with them,

00:43:53.039 --> 00:43:53.440
 or your

00:43:53.440 --> 00:43:54.240
 soccer team,

00:43:54.539 --> 00:43:54.900
 trying to

00:43:54.900 --> 00:43:55.260
 get to

00:43:55.260 --> 00:43:55.679
 know those

00:43:55.679 --> 00:43:56.159
 parents and

00:43:56.159 --> 00:43:56.440
 family.

00:43:56.780 --> 00:43:56.920
 At

00:43:56.920 --> 00:43:57.440
 Bellico's,

00:43:57.480 --> 00:43:57.760
 there was

00:43:57.760 --> 00:43:58.219
 a family

00:43:58.219 --> 00:43:59.079
 who was

00:43:59.079 --> 00:44:00.559
 saved because

00:44:00.559 --> 00:44:01.119
 of soccer

00:44:01.119 --> 00:44:01.619
 practice.

00:44:03.099 --> 00:44:03.199
 Right?

00:44:03.619 --> 00:44:03.980
 Women,

00:44:04.099 --> 00:44:04.679
 you can do

00:44:04.679 --> 00:44:05.019
 this.

00:44:06.139 --> 00:44:06.519
 Single

00:44:06.519 --> 00:44:06.780
 women,

00:44:06.940 --> 00:44:07.280
 especially,

00:44:07.800 --> 00:44:08.320
 more time

00:44:08.320 --> 00:44:08.559
 on your

00:44:08.559 --> 00:44:08.860
 hands.

00:44:10.940 --> 00:44:11.460
 Again,

00:44:11.960 --> 00:44:12.659
 don't be

00:44:12.659 --> 00:44:13.039
 foolish,

00:44:13.159 --> 00:44:13.440
 don't go

00:44:13.440 --> 00:44:13.860
 door-to-door

00:44:13.860 --> 00:44:14.260
 knocking,

00:44:14.940 --> 00:44:15.460
 maybe do

00:44:15.460 --> 00:44:15.920
 if the

00:44:15.920 --> 00:44:16.139
 Lord's

00:44:16.139 --> 00:44:16.519
 leading you

00:44:16.519 --> 00:44:16.860
 that way,

00:44:16.980 --> 00:44:19.460
 but you

00:44:19.460 --> 00:44:19.880
 have more

00:44:19.880 --> 00:44:20.280
 time on

00:44:20.280 --> 00:44:20.740
 your hands.

00:44:22.780 --> 00:44:23.480
 Word for

00:44:23.480 --> 00:44:23.880
 kids,

00:44:25.019 --> 00:44:25.599
 you kids

00:44:25.599 --> 00:44:25.960
 who are

00:44:25.960 --> 00:44:26.440
 saved,

00:44:27.039 --> 00:44:28.320
 who believe

00:44:28.320 --> 00:44:29.039
 that Christ

00:44:29.039 --> 00:44:29.519
 is the

00:44:29.519 --> 00:44:30.280
 only way,

00:44:31.119 --> 00:44:31.619
 preach the

00:44:31.619 --> 00:44:32.220
 gospel to

00:44:32.220 --> 00:44:32.800
 your friends

00:44:32.800 --> 00:44:33.099
 who are

00:44:33.099 --> 00:44:33.659
 not saved.

00:44:35.000 --> 00:44:35.460
 Let them

00:44:35.460 --> 00:44:36.099
 repent and

00:44:36.099 --> 00:44:36.460
 believe,

00:44:37.300 --> 00:44:38.019
 to your

00:44:38.019 --> 00:44:38.679
 siblings as

00:44:38.679 --> 00:44:38.940
 well,

00:44:39.420 --> 00:44:40.360
 because it's

00:44:40.360 --> 00:44:40.920
 life and

00:44:40.920 --> 00:44:41.240
 death.

00:44:41.599 --> 00:44:42.000
 Though your

00:44:42.000 --> 00:44:42.360
 kids,

00:44:42.539 --> 00:44:43.079
 our life is

00:44:43.079 --> 00:44:43.619
 but a

00:44:43.619 --> 00:44:43.940
 vapor,

00:44:43.940 --> 00:44:44.659
 right?

00:44:45.320 --> 00:44:45.599
 We're

00:44:45.599 --> 00:44:46.019
 here for

00:44:46.019 --> 00:44:46.420
 a second.

00:44:46.579 --> 00:44:46.740
 Do you

00:44:46.740 --> 00:44:47.139
 guys remember

00:44:47.139 --> 00:44:47.420
 when you

00:44:47.420 --> 00:44:47.700
 were three

00:44:47.700 --> 00:44:48.119
 years old?

00:44:48.960 --> 00:44:49.400
 Now you're

00:44:49.400 --> 00:44:49.880
 like 10?

00:44:52.599 --> 00:44:53.039
 Like,

00:44:53.139 --> 00:44:53.659
 life goes

00:44:53.659 --> 00:44:54.240
 by super

00:44:54.240 --> 00:44:54.679
 fast.

00:44:55.760 --> 00:44:56.079
 Preach the

00:44:56.079 --> 00:44:56.519
 gospel to

00:44:56.519 --> 00:44:56.920
 your friends.

00:44:58.059 --> 00:44:58.679
 Second thing,

00:44:59.360 --> 00:44:59.800
 put it on

00:44:59.800 --> 00:45:00.260
 your calendar.

00:45:01.760 --> 00:45:02.539
 If you do

00:45:02.539 --> 00:45:03.139
 not plan a

00:45:03.139 --> 00:45:03.559
 time to

00:45:03.559 --> 00:45:04.820
 go and

00:45:04.820 --> 00:45:05.679
 actually go

00:45:05.679 --> 00:45:06.000
 out and

00:45:06.000 --> 00:45:06.500
 evangelize,

00:45:06.539 --> 00:45:06.760
 you will

00:45:06.760 --> 00:45:07.200
 never do

00:45:07.200 --> 00:45:07.360
 it.

00:45:07.360 --> 00:45:08.880
 I say

00:45:08.880 --> 00:45:09.220
 that from

00:45:09.220 --> 00:45:09.980
 experience

00:45:09.980 --> 00:45:12.240
 because if

00:45:12.240 --> 00:45:13.099
 there is

00:45:13.099 --> 00:45:13.519
 fear,

00:45:13.940 --> 00:45:14.559
 that fear

00:45:14.559 --> 00:45:15.440
 will suppress

00:45:15.440 --> 00:45:15.740
 what you're

00:45:15.740 --> 00:45:16.019
 doing,

00:45:16.380 --> 00:45:16.559
 right?

00:45:16.700 --> 00:45:17.120
 What you

00:45:17.120 --> 00:45:17.500
 want to

00:45:17.500 --> 00:45:17.680
 do.

00:45:18.140 --> 00:45:18.720
 Do it

00:45:18.720 --> 00:45:19.240
 with someone.

00:45:19.380 --> 00:45:19.660
 Put it

00:45:19.660 --> 00:45:19.920
 on your

00:45:19.920 --> 00:45:20.260
 calendar.

00:45:20.400 --> 00:45:20.640
 Put it

00:45:20.640 --> 00:45:20.920
 on your

00:45:20.920 --> 00:45:21.340
 calendars

00:45:21.340 --> 00:45:21.640
 together.

00:45:21.960 --> 00:45:22.160
 Don't

00:45:22.160 --> 00:45:22.440
 just say,

00:45:22.539 --> 00:45:22.840
 I really

00:45:22.840 --> 00:45:23.140
 want to

00:45:23.140 --> 00:45:23.840
 evangelize.

00:45:24.360 --> 00:45:24.900
 Be a

00:45:24.900 --> 00:45:25.260
 man of

00:45:25.260 --> 00:45:25.380
 your

00:45:25.380 --> 00:45:25.599
 word,

00:45:25.680 --> 00:45:25.920
 a woman

00:45:25.920 --> 00:45:26.260
 of your

00:45:26.260 --> 00:45:26.480
 word,

00:45:26.599 --> 00:45:26.980
 and go

00:45:26.980 --> 00:45:27.260
 out.

00:45:27.420 --> 00:45:27.760
 Set it

00:45:27.760 --> 00:45:28.099
 on your

00:45:28.099 --> 00:45:28.380
 calendar.

00:45:28.500 --> 00:45:28.740
 If you

00:45:28.740 --> 00:45:29.120
 don't do

00:45:29.120 --> 00:45:29.360
 that,

00:45:30.240 --> 00:45:30.940
 it won't

00:45:30.940 --> 00:45:31.360
 happen,

00:45:31.680 --> 00:45:31.940
 right?

00:45:32.440 --> 00:45:32.900
 It'll be

00:45:32.900 --> 00:45:33.620
 spontaneous,

00:45:34.220 --> 00:45:34.780
 and if you're

00:45:34.780 --> 00:45:35.420
 not already

00:45:35.420 --> 00:45:36.500
 spontaneous preaching

00:45:36.500 --> 00:45:37.119
 the gospel,

00:45:37.599 --> 00:45:37.920
 you're not

00:45:37.920 --> 00:45:38.539
 praying for

00:45:38.539 --> 00:45:38.760
 that,

00:45:38.860 --> 00:45:39.199
 actively

00:45:39.199 --> 00:45:39.639
 seeking

00:45:39.639 --> 00:45:39.980
 that,

00:45:40.440 --> 00:45:41.019
 then it'll

00:45:41.019 --> 00:45:41.460
 be hard

00:45:41.460 --> 00:45:41.739
 if it's

00:45:41.739 --> 00:45:42.039
 not on

00:45:42.039 --> 00:45:42.159
 your

00:45:42.159 --> 00:45:42.500
 calendar.

00:45:43.559 --> 00:45:43.739
 It's

00:45:43.739 --> 00:45:43.860
 my

00:45:43.860 --> 00:45:44.219
 encouraging,

00:45:44.820 --> 00:45:45.059
 put it

00:45:45.059 --> 00:45:45.260
 on your

00:45:45.260 --> 00:45:45.639
 calendars.

00:45:46.639 --> 00:45:46.840
 And then

00:45:46.840 --> 00:45:47.099
 number

00:45:47.099 --> 00:45:48.920
 seven is

00:45:48.920 --> 00:45:49.360
 have your

00:45:49.360 --> 00:45:49.960
 feet ready

00:45:49.960 --> 00:45:50.519
 to preach

00:45:50.519 --> 00:45:51.179
 the gospel,

00:45:51.639 --> 00:45:52.179
 gospel of

00:45:52.179 --> 00:45:52.380
 peace.

00:45:52.900 --> 00:45:53.820
 Always be

00:45:53.820 --> 00:45:55.179
 aware of

00:45:55.179 --> 00:45:55.599
 who you can

00:45:55.599 --> 00:45:55.940
 preach the

00:45:55.940 --> 00:45:56.440
 gospel to,

00:45:56.780 --> 00:45:57.380
 especially

00:45:57.380 --> 00:45:57.960
 around Christmas

00:45:57.960 --> 00:45:58.280
 season,

00:45:58.960 --> 00:45:59.699
 around family

00:45:59.699 --> 00:46:00.320
 members who

00:46:00.320 --> 00:46:00.719
 are caught

00:46:00.719 --> 00:46:01.239
 in sins,

00:46:01.480 --> 00:46:01.980
 who don't

00:46:01.980 --> 00:46:02.400
 believe the

00:46:02.400 --> 00:46:02.860
 gospel,

00:46:03.599 --> 00:46:04.400
 amongst,

00:46:05.219 --> 00:46:05.539
 like,

00:46:05.940 --> 00:46:06.420
 it's time

00:46:06.420 --> 00:46:06.780
 where you

00:46:06.780 --> 00:46:07.400
 don't talk

00:46:07.400 --> 00:46:07.840
 to family

00:46:07.840 --> 00:46:08.320
 members that

00:46:08.320 --> 00:46:08.820
 you can't

00:46:08.820 --> 00:46:09.139
 talk to,

00:46:09.200 --> 00:46:09.420
 because it's

00:46:09.420 --> 00:46:09.960
 not weird to

00:46:09.960 --> 00:46:10.240
 call them

00:46:10.240 --> 00:46:10.579
 out of the

00:46:10.579 --> 00:46:10.780
 blue,

00:46:11.360 --> 00:46:11.680
 right?

00:46:11.980 --> 00:46:12.539
 Merry Christmas,

00:46:13.039 --> 00:46:13.420
 how are you

00:46:13.420 --> 00:46:13.700
 doing?

00:46:14.000 --> 00:46:14.280
 How's your

00:46:14.280 --> 00:46:14.619
 life going?

00:46:14.700 --> 00:46:15.039
 Can I pray

00:46:15.039 --> 00:46:15.400
 for you?

00:46:16.440 --> 00:46:17.039
 It's not

00:46:17.039 --> 00:46:17.340
 weird.

00:46:19.200 --> 00:46:19.820
 And so,

00:46:20.139 --> 00:46:20.659
 I want to

00:46:20.659 --> 00:46:21.740
 end really

00:46:21.740 --> 00:46:22.760
 quickly by

00:46:22.760 --> 00:46:23.760
 I think a

00:46:23.760 --> 00:46:25.400
 song that

00:46:25.400 --> 00:46:26.300
 sums up

00:46:26.300 --> 00:46:27.700
 evangelism,

00:46:28.559 --> 00:46:28.960
 gospel,

00:46:29.780 --> 00:46:30.260
 and

00:46:30.260 --> 00:46:32.619
 praising God

00:46:32.619 --> 00:46:33.759
 at the

00:46:33.759 --> 00:46:34.179
 end of

00:46:34.179 --> 00:46:34.819
 our days.

00:46:35.299 --> 00:46:35.699
 Well,

00:46:36.219 --> 00:46:36.599
 this is

00:46:36.599 --> 00:46:37.519
 Amazing Grace.

00:46:38.900 --> 00:46:40.039
 Amazing Grace,

00:46:40.719 --> 00:46:41.440
 how sweet the

00:46:41.440 --> 00:46:41.819
 sound,

00:46:42.099 --> 00:46:43.119
 has saved a

00:46:43.119 --> 00:46:43.579
 wretch like

00:46:43.579 --> 00:46:43.880
 me.

00:46:44.960 --> 00:46:45.739
 I once was

00:46:45.739 --> 00:46:46.179
 lost,

00:46:46.460 --> 00:46:47.079
 but now I'm

00:46:47.079 --> 00:46:47.420
 found,

00:46:47.539 --> 00:46:48.099
 was blind,

00:46:48.199 --> 00:46:48.739
 but now I

00:46:48.739 --> 00:46:48.980
 see.

00:46:50.039 --> 00:46:50.359
 So it's

00:46:50.359 --> 00:46:50.940
 grace that

00:46:50.940 --> 00:46:51.440
 taught my

00:46:51.440 --> 00:46:51.940
 heart to

00:46:51.940 --> 00:46:52.319
 fear,

00:46:52.799 --> 00:46:53.279
 and grace

00:46:53.279 --> 00:46:53.940
 my fears

00:46:53.940 --> 00:46:54.440
 relieved.

00:46:55.239 --> 00:46:55.779
 How precious

00:46:55.779 --> 00:46:56.679
 did that grace

00:46:56.679 --> 00:46:57.159
 appear,

00:46:57.659 --> 00:46:58.259
 the hour I

00:46:58.259 --> 00:46:58.839
 first believed.

00:46:58.840 --> 00:47:00.100
 The Lord

00:47:00.100 --> 00:47:01.059
 has promised

00:47:01.059 --> 00:47:01.760
 good to

00:47:01.760 --> 00:47:01.980
 me.

00:47:02.500 --> 00:47:03.140
 His words

00:47:03.140 --> 00:47:03.820
 my hope

00:47:03.820 --> 00:47:04.380
 secures.

00:47:04.960 --> 00:47:05.220
 He will

00:47:05.220 --> 00:47:08.320
 my shield

00:47:08.320 --> 00:47:08.820
 and portion

00:47:08.820 --> 00:47:10.180
 be as long

00:47:10.180 --> 00:47:10.720
 as life

00:47:10.720 --> 00:47:11.360
 endures.

00:47:12.240 --> 00:47:13.140
 When we've

00:47:13.140 --> 00:47:13.500
 been there

00:47:13.500 --> 00:47:14.620
 10,000 years

00:47:14.620 --> 00:47:15.300
 bright,

00:47:15.740 --> 00:47:16.440
 shining as

00:47:16.440 --> 00:47:16.920
 the sun,

00:47:17.940 --> 00:47:18.460
 we've no

00:47:18.460 --> 00:47:19.140
 less to sing

00:47:19.140 --> 00:47:19.880
 God's praise

00:47:19.880 --> 00:47:20.660
 than the

00:47:20.660 --> 00:47:21.200
 day we

00:47:21.200 --> 00:47:21.900
 first begun.

00:47:22.960 --> 00:47:23.180
 Amen.

00:47:23.700 --> 00:47:24.100
 Lord,

00:47:24.180 --> 00:47:24.660
 I thank you

00:47:24.660 --> 00:47:26.579
 for this

00:47:26.579 --> 00:47:26.780
 day,

00:47:26.860 --> 00:47:27.059
 O Lord.

00:47:27.160 --> 00:47:27.700
 I pray for

00:47:27.700 --> 00:47:28.140
 this church

00:47:28.140 --> 00:47:28.480
 plant.

00:47:28.840 --> 00:47:29.660
 I pray for

00:47:29.660 --> 00:47:30.300
 your hands

00:47:30.300 --> 00:47:30.940
 to be upon

00:47:30.940 --> 00:47:31.079
 it,

00:47:31.120 --> 00:47:31.440
 O Lord.

00:47:31.760 --> 00:47:32.300
 I pray that

00:47:32.300 --> 00:47:33.140
 we would

00:47:33.140 --> 00:47:33.620
 not be a

00:47:33.620 --> 00:47:34.100
 people who

00:47:34.100 --> 00:47:34.600
 are fearful,

00:47:34.780 --> 00:47:35.000
 but a

00:47:35.000 --> 00:47:35.420
 people of

00:47:35.420 --> 00:47:35.820
 power.

00:47:36.440 --> 00:47:37.220
 I pray that

00:47:37.220 --> 00:47:38.200
 your spirit

00:47:38.200 --> 00:47:38.980
 would truly,

00:47:39.220 --> 00:47:39.460
 O Lord,

00:47:40.260 --> 00:47:40.780
 bless us,

00:47:40.900 --> 00:47:41.240
 fill us,

00:47:41.300 --> 00:47:41.600
 O God.

00:47:42.019 --> 00:47:42.640
 I pray that

00:47:42.640 --> 00:47:42.960
 we'd be

00:47:42.960 --> 00:47:43.519
 people of

00:47:43.519 --> 00:47:43.800
 prayer,

00:47:43.920 --> 00:47:44.240
 O Lord.

00:47:44.440 --> 00:47:44.940
 I pray that

00:47:44.940 --> 00:47:45.320
 we would be

00:47:45.320 --> 00:47:45.980
 people who

00:47:45.980 --> 00:47:47.559
 act, O

00:47:47.559 --> 00:47:47.700
 Lord,

00:47:47.760 --> 00:47:48.680
 not only talk,

00:47:48.740 --> 00:47:49.079
 O Lord,

00:47:49.460 --> 00:47:50.120
 that as James

00:47:50.120 --> 00:47:50.900
 says, that we

00:47:50.900 --> 00:47:51.820
 would be people

00:47:51.820 --> 00:47:52.640
 of faith and

00:47:52.640 --> 00:47:53.260
 of works,

00:47:53.579 --> 00:47:53.880
 O Lord,

00:47:54.320 --> 00:47:55.019
 that we would

00:47:55.019 --> 00:47:56.140
 actively go out

00:47:56.140 --> 00:47:57.400
 and evangelize.

00:47:57.480 --> 00:47:57.820
 I pray for

00:47:57.820 --> 00:47:58.380
 our kids as

00:47:58.380 --> 00:47:58.620
 well.

00:47:58.840 --> 00:47:59.620
 We pray for

00:47:59.620 --> 00:48:00.260
 their salvation.

00:48:00.460 --> 00:48:01.039
 Please save

00:48:01.039 --> 00:48:01.519
 them, O Lord,

00:48:01.579 --> 00:48:01.860
 from the

00:48:01.860 --> 00:48:03.340
 damnation of

00:48:03.340 --> 00:48:03.920
 hell, O Lord,

00:48:03.980 --> 00:48:04.200
 and our

00:48:04.200 --> 00:48:04.840
 family members.

00:48:06.120 --> 00:48:06.480
 Amen.

00:48:06.619 --> 00:48:06.619


00:48:06.619 --> 00:48:07.940
 through the

00:48:07.940 --> 00:48:07.940


00:48:07.940 --> 00:48:07.940


00:48:07.940 --> 00:48:07.940


00:48:07.940 --> 00:48:07.940


00:48:07.940 --> 00:48:07.940


00:48:07.940 --> 00:48:07.940


00:48:07.940 --> 00:48:07.940


00:48:07.940 --> 00:48:07.940


00:48:07.940 --> 00:48:07.940


00:48:07.940 --> 00:48:07.940


00:48:07.940 --> 00:48:07.940


00:48:07.940 --> 00:48:07.940


00:48:07.940 --> 00:48:07.940


00:48:07.940 --> 00:48:07.940


00:48:07.940 --> 00:48:07.940


00:48:07.940 --> 00:48:07.940


00:48:07.940 --> 00:48:07.940


00:48:07.940 --> 00:48:07.940


00:48:07.940 --> 00:48:07.940


00:48:07.940 --> 00:48:07.940


00:48:07.940 --> 00:48:07.940


00:48:07.940 --> 00:48:07.940


00:48:07.940 --> 00:48:07.940
