WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.360
 So I want to share a brief passage with us about what does it look like to be on mission as God's people.

00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:08.099
 And I'm hoping that this will lead into communion.

00:00:08.279 --> 00:00:10.580
 So we're going to see, because this is the first time we've ever tried this.

00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:12.980
 But if you came in today, you got a bulletin.

00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:15.339
 And in this bulletin, you had a Bible verse.

00:00:15.419 --> 00:00:18.359
 And so I need you to take that out and hold it in front of you,

00:00:18.400 --> 00:00:21.600
 because we are going to talk through this.

00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:24.519
 And usually we have Scripture read, but we didn't have Scripture read today.

00:00:24.980 --> 00:00:29.900
 And what I want to do is briefly look at this passage in John chapter 4.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:34.100
 So, everybody got your bulletin? Everybody got your passage?

00:00:34.500 --> 00:00:36.539
 Okay. So I'm going to paraphrase it.

00:00:36.619 --> 00:00:38.519
 I encourage you to go back and talk about it.

00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:46.539
 This has been a huge passage for me in my life as I think about why God kept me around.

00:00:47.340 --> 00:00:50.079
 So last week was the anniversary of my heart attack.

00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:54.439
 So I had a heart attack 13 years ago, and it was an eye-opener for me.

00:00:54.879 --> 00:00:59.100
 And as I went through that process, I realized, why did God keep me here?

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:03.500
 And I thought that he has us here so that we can worship him,

00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:08.519
 that we can make his name great and present him to people who do not yet know him.

00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:09.739
 And that's why we're here as a church.

00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:12.819
 So if you look at the bulletin, I'm just going to talk through this.

00:01:13.340 --> 00:01:14.640
 This is in the life of Jesus.

00:01:15.219 --> 00:01:18.719
 And Jesus has been in the south of Israel, and he's been teaching in Jerusalem.

00:01:19.460 --> 00:01:23.299
 And he's been getting some heat from the Pharisees and from the authorities in Rome.

00:01:23.299 --> 00:01:26.219
 And so his disciples have decided to go back up to Galilee.

00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:27.420
 And Galilee is in the north.

00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:29.120
 The Sea of Galilee is in the north of Israel.

00:01:29.620 --> 00:01:31.700
 And so they're on this hike to go back up there.

00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:36.780
 And as they're walking up from the south of Jerusalem to the north of the Sea of Galilee

00:01:36.780 --> 00:01:40.900
 and Capernaum, where his home base is, they have to go through this land called Samaria.

00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:45.439
 And Samaria is this place where it has a terrible reputation.

00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:50.140
 Remember last week we talked about Daniel, and we said that Daniel was taken from Babylon.

00:01:50.140 --> 00:01:55.400
 He was taken from Israel, and he's taken to Babylon with about four other guys, Meshach, Shadrach, and Abednego.

00:01:55.939 --> 00:02:01.180
 And this happens whenever the Assyrians or the Babylonians came in to destroy a land.

00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:08.120
 And so we read in 722 B.C. that the Babylonians and the Assyrians, they come in, and they decimate Israel.

00:02:08.460 --> 00:02:13.099
 They decimate God's people, and they take away most of the population back to Babylon.

00:02:13.740 --> 00:02:15.020
 They don't take away everybody.

00:02:15.180 --> 00:02:18.759
 The people they leave there, they basically are like the poorest of the poor.

00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:21.560
 They're the farmers, they're the people who are in debt, they're prisoners.

00:02:22.019 --> 00:02:23.359
 And so they leave those people there.

00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:27.199
 And then what they do is they bring in their own people, and these people come into this land,

00:02:27.459 --> 00:02:28.840
 and they start to marry the Jews.

00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:33.939
 And so Samaria is a place where people are called half-breeds,

00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:38.000
 because they are there, and they basically intermarried with people from the captors.

00:02:38.500 --> 00:02:43.000
 And so when the Jews finally come back from Babylon, and they come back into Israel,

00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:47.259
 they want nothing to do with the Samarians, because they're defiled.

00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:50.979
 They're ceremonially uncleaned, and they are no good.

00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:55.219
 And so most of the time, if you are a holy man in Israel, you wouldn't even go through Samaria.

00:02:55.360 --> 00:03:00.180
 You would walk way around Samaria, because even just stepping on the ground, they would say,

00:03:00.340 --> 00:03:00.979
 you're defiled.

00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:06.360
 So Jesus is walking with his disciples, and they're going up north, and they decide to go through Samaria.

00:03:06.780 --> 00:03:09.520
 And the passage says in the beginning that Jesus is tired.

00:03:10.420 --> 00:03:14.080
 And so they get to this town called Shikar, and Jesus is tired.

00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:16.040
 And so the disciples leave him at a well.

00:03:16.140 --> 00:03:16.940
 It's Jacob's well.

00:03:17.020 --> 00:03:18.280
 It's found in Genesis 33.

00:03:18.440 --> 00:03:21.480
 It's the well that Jacob, our father, dug for his people.

00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:26.900
 And so Jesus is sitting at this well, and he's about to have this, I think, amazing encounter.

00:03:27.260 --> 00:03:28.880
 Now, it's about 12 o'clock at noon.

00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:32.680
 And picking up in verse 7, this lady comes, and she's a lone woman.

00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:36.400
 She's there by herself to draw water at noontime.

00:03:36.920 --> 00:03:39.520
 Now, if you know anything about the culture, if you know anything about Jewish people,

00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:43.319
 if you know anything about women in that day, that was probably not a good thing.

00:03:43.900 --> 00:03:46.080
 I mean, in the culture, women always came together.

00:03:46.540 --> 00:03:49.960
 Women never did things apart, especially in public.

00:03:50.300 --> 00:03:54.700
 And so the fact that this lady is coming to a well, she has three strikes against her, okay?

00:03:55.020 --> 00:03:55.939
 She's a Sumerian.

00:03:55.939 --> 00:04:03.020
 She's a woman, and she's probably a lady of ill repute because no one wants to be around her,

00:04:03.060 --> 00:04:04.879
 and she has to do everything by herself.

00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:09.919
 And so she comes there, and she's about to grab and get some water.

00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:13.620
 And what we're told in this passage is Jesus does something unheard of.

00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:17.279
 I mean, if you were a Jew and you were listening to this story or you were watching him,

00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:21.100
 you would not understand at all what he's doing here.

00:04:21.100 --> 00:04:25.460
 And what he does here is he asks this lady for a favor.

00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:29.920
 And actually, if you read in the passage, it seems kind of blunt, give me a drink.

00:04:30.220 --> 00:04:33.520
 But in the Greek, the heart behind it is, I'm weak.

00:04:34.900 --> 00:04:35.860
 Can you help me?

00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:38.500
 And so Jesus is sitting at this well.

00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:39.080
 He's exhausted.

00:04:39.200 --> 00:04:39.500
 He's tired.

00:04:39.580 --> 00:04:41.080
 And he says to this woman, I'm weak.

00:04:41.500 --> 00:04:42.379
 Can you help me?

00:04:42.660 --> 00:04:44.680
 And this is unheard of in his day.

00:04:45.520 --> 00:04:48.200
 I mean, no Jewish male would ever talk to a Samaritan woman.

00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:50.780
 No holy man would ever talk to a Samaritan woman.

00:04:50.779 --> 00:04:54.099
 Just by talking to them, he would be considered unclean.

00:04:54.679 --> 00:05:02.279
 The Jewish scriptures and laws, the Mishnah would say that every Samaritan woman is totally unclean all the time.

00:05:02.339 --> 00:05:05.019
 It basically says that they are menstruating all the time.

00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:07.339
 They're on their period, so they're looked at as totally unclean.

00:05:07.719 --> 00:05:13.839
 And so for Jesus to come to her and to talk to her and ask for her to give him water is something unheard of.

00:05:14.259 --> 00:05:16.759
 Because what he's basically saying is, I know you're unclean,

00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:20.119
 and I'm willing to become unclean to reach out to you.

00:05:20.779 --> 00:05:23.899
 So Jesus is there in this passage, and he breaks all the social norms.

00:05:24.019 --> 00:05:25.419
 He breaks all the cultural norms.

00:05:26.059 --> 00:05:28.279
 And he humbles himself by asking a favor.

00:05:29.059 --> 00:05:34.500
 I don't know if you ever thought about this, but God, when he comes to us, he humbles himself.

00:05:36.259 --> 00:05:42.199
 And most of us have a hard time asking forgiveness from anybody or even just granting forgiveness when somebody really hurts us.

00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:45.560
 But here God, the creator of the universe, comes to us.

00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:50.339
 And in verse 9, when he does this, this woman is totally amazed, and she's shocked, and she doesn't even know what to do.

00:05:51.139 --> 00:05:57.740
 The passage says that she just goes after Jesus verbally, and she's just kind of picking at him and throwing darts and teasing him.

00:05:57.939 --> 00:06:01.240
 And what we see in this story is that Jesus just ignores her the whole time.

00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:11.579
 I mean, Jesus doesn't play her game, but instead he starts to talk about this gift, this gift of living water that God wants to give her.

00:06:12.900 --> 00:06:16.060
 In the passage, her words are very simple.

00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:18.500
 They basically point to someone who's selfish.

00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:20.480
 They want something for themselves.

00:06:20.780 --> 00:06:23.280
 And basically her attitude is, what is in it for me?

00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:25.960
 What do you have to offer me?

00:06:26.500 --> 00:06:27.879
 She wants something physical.

00:06:28.039 --> 00:06:30.039
 She wants something that's going to satisfy her.

00:06:30.359 --> 00:06:33.899
 And what Jesus is actually giving her is he's giving her something spiritual.

00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:37.539
 And so she just keeps attacking him and attacking him.

00:06:37.739 --> 00:06:41.939
 And he basically just kind of defers all those things, and he just goes right to her heart.

00:06:42.919 --> 00:06:45.479
 And he starts to ask her some questions in verse 16.

00:06:46.039 --> 00:06:48.079
 And he looks at this hidden secrets in her life.

00:06:48.159 --> 00:06:49.079
 He looks at the selfishness.

00:06:49.159 --> 00:06:49.839
 He looks at the idols.

00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:52.000
 He looks at all the mistakes that she's made.

00:06:52.179 --> 00:06:55.419
 And as he's trying to look at our heart, she's trying to say,

00:06:55.420 --> 00:06:56.379
 Yeah, but what about this?

00:06:56.420 --> 00:06:57.199
 Yeah, but what about this?

00:06:57.259 --> 00:06:58.060
 Well, yeah, but what about this?

00:06:58.280 --> 00:07:00.140
 And in verse 16, he gives her a commandment.

00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:04.199
 And the commandment points to her real heart issue.

00:07:05.259 --> 00:07:08.580
 But the commandment also gives her something to do with the message.

00:07:09.540 --> 00:07:11.379
 The commandment is her mission.

00:07:11.500 --> 00:07:13.400
 The commandment is our mission.

00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:18.580
 And the commandment is go, call, and bring.

00:07:18.579 --> 00:07:25.759
 And then in verse 19 through 23, she starts to throw out the smokescreen about where she worships.

00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:31.180
 And Jesus tells her, he tells us, you know, he says, you know, it's really not important where you worship God.

00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:34.279
 But what's more important is the God that you worship.

00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:42.500
 And he says, what's even more important than the God you worship is that you worship the God you worship in spirit and in truth, how you worship him.

00:07:42.500 --> 00:07:48.800
 In Greek, the words actually say that you are truly spiritual when you come to worship God.

00:07:49.899 --> 00:07:53.000
 It means that you have a correct view of who God is.

00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:57.420
 His holiness, his character, who he's done and what he's done.

00:07:57.600 --> 00:07:59.339
 That you have a correct view of who you are.

00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:05.300
 And that your heart and your head are fixed in on what the gospel means.

00:08:05.300 --> 00:08:09.020
 Then in verse 26, Jesus says something amazing.

00:08:09.500 --> 00:08:10.300
 And this is what he says.

00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:15.199
 He uses the exact same words that God used to describe himself to Moses in Genesis 3.

00:08:15.620 --> 00:08:17.540
 Because this woman starts to talk about the end times.

00:08:17.620 --> 00:08:18.759
 She starts to talk about this Messiah.

00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:23.560
 And Jesus says to her the exact same thing that God says through the burning bush to Moses.

00:08:24.379 --> 00:08:25.240
 He says, I am.

00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:28.060
 I am the Messiah.

00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:30.240
 I am God.

00:08:31.400 --> 00:08:33.759
 Well, in verse 27, the disciples come back.

00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:36.939
 And, you know, they're probably looking at him and going, what are you doing?

00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:38.559
 You're a holy man.

00:08:38.600 --> 00:08:41.100
 And this woman is definitely not a good girl.

00:08:41.460 --> 00:08:43.600
 And why are you even talking to her by yourself?

00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:50.139
 Because the law of the Torah would say that a rabbi isn't even supposed to talk to his wife in public.

00:08:51.220 --> 00:08:53.460
 So here he's talking to this woman of disrepute.

00:08:54.139 --> 00:08:58.159
 And as his disciples come in, in verse 27, the woman just goes.

00:08:59.179 --> 00:08:59.700
 You notice that?

00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:00.720
 She just disappears.

00:09:01.179 --> 00:09:02.600
 She goes on a mission.

00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:06.820
 I mean, she remembers what Christ commanded her in verse 16.

00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:10.920
 She remembers the words, go, call, and come.

00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:18.639
 And the powerful thing to me about this passage is, is that when she leaves and she goes back to her city, her village,

00:09:19.100 --> 00:09:21.519
 she doesn't take her pot for water.

00:09:22.980 --> 00:09:25.600
 She doesn't take her physical pot of water.

00:09:25.820 --> 00:09:28.480
 She doesn't take the reason that she came to the well.

00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:36.320
 But when she goes back to her people, what she does instead carry is a witness of living water.

00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:39.280
 She carries the message of God.

00:09:39.280 --> 00:09:41.160
 She carries the message of the gospel.

00:09:41.340 --> 00:09:44.260
 And in it, she's remembering go, call, and come.

00:09:44.259 --> 00:09:49.779
 And she realizes that she has a message that everybody in her village needs to hear.

00:09:50.580 --> 00:09:53.700
 Because everybody in her village is thirsty.

00:09:53.700 --> 00:09:57.540
 And they're dying for something that they're looking in their whole life.

00:09:57.620 --> 00:10:00.240
 And they're looking for things physically that are going to fill up their heart.

00:10:00.680 --> 00:10:05.860
 And she finally realizes that no matter how many things that she gets to fill that emptiness in her heart,

00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:07.540
 she's still going to end up thirsty.

00:10:08.620 --> 00:10:11.940
 And Jesus has the only thing that will fulfill her.

00:10:12.680 --> 00:10:16.100
 Now, remember in verse 7, she has three strikes against her.

00:10:16.100 --> 00:10:21.000
 She's a woman, she's a Samaritan, and she's a prostitute.

00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:23.159
 But she just goes in obedience.

00:10:23.420 --> 00:10:27.899
 And the amazing thing is the passage tells us when she goes and she shares, the people believe.

00:10:28.580 --> 00:10:30.200
 The people believe her testimony.

00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:34.460
 And actually, the people come back and they want to see Jesus.

00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:38.600
 So in this passage in John 4, which I just ran through,

00:10:38.899 --> 00:10:42.240
 what you see is a woman who is far away from God.

00:10:43.040 --> 00:10:44.259
 She's angry with God.

00:10:44.259 --> 00:10:45.720
 She's an enemy to God.

00:10:46.100 --> 00:10:49.820
 And in this passage, she goes from being an enemy for God and far away from God

00:10:49.820 --> 00:10:52.879
 to becoming a witness for God.

00:10:54.460 --> 00:10:55.420
 Think about it.

00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:57.840
 As you go into the communion time,

00:10:58.940 --> 00:11:01.399
 that's your story also.

00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:06.899
 The Bible says that every one of us in here was far away from God.

00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:09.779
 We were angry with God.

00:11:10.660 --> 00:11:12.320
 We wanted nothing to do with God.

00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:15.379
 But God humbled himself.

00:11:16.100 --> 00:11:18.019
 And he came to you.

00:11:19.080 --> 00:11:20.860
 And he started to dialogue with you.

00:11:21.820 --> 00:11:24.920
 And some of you right now, God is still dialoguing with you.

00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:28.259
 And he's dealing with things in your heart.

00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:35.500
 And the message that he wants to give you is a message of eternal life in living water.

00:11:35.500 --> 00:11:39.919
 There's three things I want you to think about as we go into communion.

00:11:41.419 --> 00:11:43.600
 Three things and points that stick out to me.

00:11:43.700 --> 00:11:44.759
 And the first point is this.

00:11:46.019 --> 00:11:48.120
 God pursues us.

00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:53.279
 The passage is very clear that even when we're in far off places,

00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:54.759
 even when we're in dark lands,

00:11:54.879 --> 00:12:00.639
 even when we're in Texas or Australia or New Zealand or wherever you are from,

00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:04.240
 that God goes into your life.

00:12:04.899 --> 00:12:06.960
 And God goes out of the way.

00:12:07.899 --> 00:12:09.840
 And God humbles himself.

00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:14.960
 And God initiates worship with you.

00:12:16.379 --> 00:12:18.940
 There's none of us in here who found God.

00:12:20.740 --> 00:12:21.720
 It's impossible.

00:12:22.899 --> 00:12:25.220
 The story of the gospel, the story of God's word,

00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:28.300
 is that God went and he found you.

00:12:29.199 --> 00:12:32.959
 And he humbled himself to bring you back into you.

00:12:32.959 --> 00:12:36.120
 He is continually pursuing you right now.

00:12:37.099 --> 00:12:39.979
 So the first question I want you to think about when you go into communion is,

00:12:40.740 --> 00:12:42.000
 how is God pursuing you?

00:12:45.139 --> 00:12:47.079
 How is God pursuing you right now?

00:12:49.899 --> 00:12:51.859
 What are the words that he's speaking to you?

00:12:52.859 --> 00:12:54.219
 How is he touching your heart?

00:12:54.339 --> 00:12:56.779
 What are the things he's asking you to do and to obey

00:12:56.779 --> 00:12:58.639
 and just to worship and to love him?

00:12:59.240 --> 00:13:02.139
 Because the passage says that God pursues us.

00:13:03.220 --> 00:13:05.399
 The second thing I want you to think about as you go into communion.

00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:09.860
 You were made for worship.

00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:15.039
 The passage in all of scripture says that worship is our response

00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:16.799
 to the thing that we treasure the most.

00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:20.699
 What do you treasure the most right now?

00:13:23.299 --> 00:13:25.000
 The woman, when she came to the well,

00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:26.579
 she was treasuring security.

00:13:26.779 --> 00:13:29.620
 Intimacy.

00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:32.159
 Sex.

00:13:33.439 --> 00:13:36.860
 I mean, the question is, what are you worshiping right now?

00:13:38.500 --> 00:13:40.079
 Well, some of you might say, well, I don't know.

00:13:40.659 --> 00:13:41.860
 And there's an easy way to find out.

00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:45.419
 An easy way to find out is just look at what your hands are doing.

00:13:46.899 --> 00:13:49.100
 Look at what your words speak to.

00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:53.879
 Look at what comes to your mind when you have free moments.

00:13:53.879 --> 00:13:57.360
 Whatever comes to your mind, whatever your hands are doing,

00:13:57.620 --> 00:14:00.939
 these are probably really good indicators of what you're worshiping.

00:14:01.740 --> 00:14:03.580
 That's why we taught the creed this morning.

00:14:04.259 --> 00:14:07.220
 Because sometimes we, as God's people, we forget what we worship,

00:14:07.299 --> 00:14:08.659
 and we go off on these tangents,

00:14:08.860 --> 00:14:14.000
 and it's good to be back and remember why we worship and who we worship

00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:15.500
 and what is worship all about.

00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:17.740
 So God pursues us.

00:14:17.840 --> 00:14:19.100
 God is pursuing you right now.

00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:20.740
 You were made for worship.

00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:21.860
 We're all worshiping things.

00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:23.059
 And the final thing is this.

00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:25.700
 The passage says that we're all on this search.

00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:30.279
 We're all on this search for something to satisfy our souls deeply.

00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:35.439
 But in this story, God offers us something beyond physical.

00:14:36.620 --> 00:14:38.199
 He offers us something eternal.

00:14:38.339 --> 00:14:39.500
 He offers us living water.

00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:44.240
 And so the question I want us to answer and to think about as a church is,

00:14:44.339 --> 00:14:46.500
 what do we do with this living water in our lives?

00:14:48.079 --> 00:14:50.659
 I mean, what do we do with the message of Christ?

00:14:50.740 --> 00:14:52.079
 What do we do with Christ?

00:14:53.299 --> 00:14:56.220
 How does it play out in our lives?

00:14:56.220 --> 00:14:56.879
 What do we do with Christ?

00:14:56.879 --> 00:15:01.279
 The John 4 passage says that if we understand the gospel,

00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:06.320
 and if we understand grace, that we will go,

00:15:07.820 --> 00:15:09.379
 and we will call,

00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:13.580
 and we will bring those who do not yet know him.

00:15:13.860 --> 00:15:16.220
 Basically, the passage says that if we understand these things,

00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:19.879
 and if we worship God, we'll be a witness to him in all these things.

00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:23.080
 The Bible calls this going mission.

00:15:23.080 --> 00:15:26.680
 And so the third question you need to ask is,

00:15:27.560 --> 00:15:28.960
 what kind of mission are you on today?

00:15:31.060 --> 00:15:34.220
 If I were to look at your life and to see what preoccupies you,

00:15:34.280 --> 00:15:35.820
 what is the mission that you're on?

00:15:37.040 --> 00:15:39.840
 Because some of us are on missions to make our lives comfortable,

00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:41.720
 and some of us are on missions to redeem our lives,

00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:46.560
 and some of us are on missions just to get rid of the pain and junk in our life.

00:15:48.020 --> 00:15:50.240
 But we're all on a mission.

00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:54.180
 I'm going to ask the communion stewards to come forward now.

00:15:55.700 --> 00:15:57.360
 And as they come forward,

00:15:58.080 --> 00:16:02.539
 I want you to think about the three questions that you were asked.

00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:06.779
 How is God pursuing you?

00:16:08.220 --> 00:16:11.560
 Because God's word is really clear that he's pursuing you

00:16:11.560 --> 00:16:15.340
 every moment of every day because he wants a relationship with you.

00:16:15.340 --> 00:16:17.840
 You were made for worship.

00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:19.580
 What are you worshiping right now?

00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:24.220
 And three, what kind of mission are you on with your life?

00:16:24.220 --> 00:16:28.620
 I want you to say,

00:16:28.700 --> 00:16:29.480
 vive in my life.

00:16:30.220 --> 00:16:32.019
 Am i or am i or am i or am i or am i or am in love with you?

00:16:32.139 --> 00:16:34.600
 I want you to think about the행 eu and I,

00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:35.240
 and I have the patience that you put in my life with him in your life.

00:16:35.379 --> 00:16:36.740
 So 5,000 rinduja secundi and anthony.

00:16:36.960 --> 00:16:39.340
 What kind of mission are you going to do?

00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:40.820
 And these are the conversations that you give?

00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:43.800
 Which time are your�� così pre Palestina,

00:16:44.019 --> 00:16:45.580
 you will have theマ州収Зed.

00:16:45.820 --> 00:16:47.220
 I want to think about all the titles that you could read.

00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:48.920
 That's what you here think!

00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:50.480
 The cigarettes you are.

00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:51.100
 So we've grown over a marathon star.

00:16:51.180 --> 00:16:51.740
 Yeah, and now I'm going to do this.

00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:53.139
 If you do it in my life,
