WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.960
 I'm thinking what a privilege it is for me to have the best job in the church,

00:00:03.580 --> 00:00:05.960
 to be the ministering in charge of mission,

00:00:06.719 --> 00:00:08.019
 and to have a whole month.

00:00:08.099 --> 00:00:10.339
 Like, we don't have a month of membership.

00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:14.200
 We could, but we're not.

00:00:14.580 --> 00:00:16.960
 But we got a whole month of global missions.

00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:20.219
 So, wow, you know, that's pretty privileged.

00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:25.300
 And as I sought to argue in that video,

00:00:25.300 --> 00:00:30.820
 that mission, a global mission, is a gospel imperative.

00:00:32.380 --> 00:00:34.859
 I urge you, if you're not convinced, to check it out,

00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:39.179
 even if you were convinced, to check it out in Luke 24.

00:00:39.620 --> 00:00:40.359
 Luke 24.

00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:43.359
 So the context is post-resurrection,

00:00:44.120 --> 00:00:49.000
 and Jesus was explaining to his disciples what just happened

00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:50.600
 and the meaning of it.

00:00:51.120 --> 00:00:53.540
 And he kind of said, well, you should know this

00:00:53.539 --> 00:00:56.339
 because the Old Testament has taught you this,

00:00:57.000 --> 00:00:59.780
 that the Christ must die, the Christ must rise,

00:00:59.960 --> 00:01:05.099
 and repentance of faith must be preached to all the nations

00:01:05.099 --> 00:01:06.620
 in the name of Jesus.

00:01:07.260 --> 00:01:09.759
 So global mission, gospel imperatives.

00:01:10.039 --> 00:01:12.140
 And again, you know, just to reiterate,

00:01:12.700 --> 00:01:14.319
 there are lots of things we can do without.

00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:15.620
 Okay?

00:01:15.700 --> 00:01:17.799
 And we still have the Christian faith, Christianity,

00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:19.340
 and you can still be a Christian.

00:01:19.700 --> 00:01:20.920
 We don't need this building.

00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:22.079
 Okay?

00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:23.180
 Unless it rains.

00:01:23.540 --> 00:01:28.120
 Christianity, we don't need this building to, you know.

00:01:28.540 --> 00:01:31.800
 We don't, God forbid, need a parish council.

00:01:32.740 --> 00:01:36.540
 If that disappears tomorrow, there's still Christianity.

00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:37.860
 You don't even need the ministers.

00:01:38.860 --> 00:01:39.480
 It's quite amazing.

00:01:39.540 --> 00:01:40.360
 We're not Roman Catholics.

00:01:42.380 --> 00:01:45.180
 We could all get, you know, the staff could die tomorrow

00:01:45.180 --> 00:01:48.480
 or horrible disease, and you could still be Christians.

00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:49.859
 That's one of them.

00:01:49.859 --> 00:01:53.840
 But you can't do without the death of Jesus,

00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:59.320
 the resurrection of Jesus, and the mission, global mission,

00:01:59.740 --> 00:02:00.400
 to proclaim.

00:02:01.180 --> 00:02:02.260
 What do I mean by mission?

00:02:02.260 --> 00:02:07.120
 I simply mean the proclamation of the gospel of the kingdom of God.

00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:09.219
 It is as simple as that.

00:02:09.420 --> 00:02:13.379
 It is telling people about Jesus who's king of the kingdom.

00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:14.960
 So mission.

00:02:15.460 --> 00:02:16.200
 Simple enough.

00:02:16.819 --> 00:02:18.700
 What do we mean by global mission?

00:02:18.699 --> 00:02:19.699
 Global mission.

00:02:19.699 --> 00:02:21.219
 And that's quite easy.

00:02:21.359 --> 00:02:23.299
 Global means the world.

00:02:24.859 --> 00:02:25.000
 Okay?

00:02:25.119 --> 00:02:30.979
 Global mission involves preaching Jesus to all the world.

00:02:30.979 --> 00:02:35.259
 And I'm slowly coming to the conviction

00:02:35.259 --> 00:02:41.079
 that global mission is not just going from here to there.

00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:45.959
 I think that the world has changed, has moved on,

00:02:46.299 --> 00:02:51.019
 that the here and the there sort of distinction is no longer valid.

00:02:51.259 --> 00:02:55.560
 So if I can so tentatively and nervously suggest,

00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:59.979
 perhaps we should change local and global impact

00:02:59.979 --> 00:03:01.580
 to just global impact.

00:03:02.780 --> 00:03:06.240
 Just to help us to see that what we do here

00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:09.759
 is part of what's happening in the whole world.

00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:16.060
 I think nowadays, everyone goes from everywhere to everywhere.

00:03:17.939 --> 00:03:22.159
 What is, I think, most challenging in the task of mission

00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:28.840
 is crossing barriers, crossing cultural barriers

00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:31.120
 to different parts of the world,

00:03:31.939 --> 00:03:33.900
 perhaps to different type of people,

00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:37.219
 even in this part of the world.

00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:40.359
 I don't know whether you're convinced of this,

00:03:40.460 --> 00:03:44.979
 but ironically, I think globalisation and technology

00:03:44.979 --> 00:03:48.439
 are both making us even more homogenous.

00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:51.740
 You know, on Facebook, you might think,

00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:54.079
 wow, I've got a million friends,

00:03:55.299 --> 00:04:00.900
 but most of them are people just like you and me.

00:04:01.300 --> 00:04:03.019
 Well, maybe, no, I don't know.

00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:09.180
 But technology is making us into sort of siloing

00:04:09.180 --> 00:04:10.719
 with people just like us.

00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:15.639
 In fact, increasingly, I look at churches around in Sydney,

00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:18.980
 we are becoming more homogenous than ever before.

00:04:19.379 --> 00:04:21.620
 You might look, oh, you know, no, no, that's not true.

00:04:21.620 --> 00:04:24.199
 There's Chinese people and non-Chinese people and whatever.

00:04:24.860 --> 00:04:28.780
 But at some level, no, actually, we're all pretty similar.

00:04:28.980 --> 00:04:30.120
 We all live in the North Shore.

00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:32.920
 We have sort of vaguely similar sort of values.

00:04:33.620 --> 00:04:36.959
 They're not sort of, you know, really crazy people in our church,

00:04:37.340 --> 00:04:38.399
 except for Josh.

00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:41.899
 You know, but he's an exception.

00:04:42.939 --> 00:04:43.799
 But he's from Canada.

00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:49.399
 You know, it's...

00:04:49.939 --> 00:04:51.560
 We...

00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:53.079
 There was a book that I was reading

00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:55.259
 that was kind of saying that it makes a hard...

00:04:55.259 --> 00:04:57.019
 Like, we actually lost the skill

00:04:57.019 --> 00:05:01.519
 of relating to people who are just different to us.

00:05:01.579 --> 00:05:02.639
 We don't know how to talk to them.

00:05:02.859 --> 00:05:04.219
 We don't know how to disagree with them.

00:05:04.220 --> 00:05:05.640
 We just give up, you know.

00:05:05.960 --> 00:05:08.160
 They are not our Facebook friends.

00:05:08.900 --> 00:05:11.340
 And we just stick with people that we can talk to,

00:05:11.820 --> 00:05:13.560
 that we can agree with.

00:05:14.200 --> 00:05:15.520
 And church becomes a...

00:05:15.520 --> 00:05:17.400
 And this is why I think in global mission,

00:05:17.880 --> 00:05:21.900
 the biggest challenge to us is to cross those barriers,

00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:26.300
 to take Jesus to people who are just different to us.

00:05:26.300 --> 00:05:30.139
 And that's what we're talking about.

00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:31.520
 And it is imperative.

00:05:31.699 --> 00:05:33.639
 It is not an optional extra.

00:05:33.900 --> 00:05:36.680
 For those of us sitting here in the North Shore today,

00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:41.259
 we need to be taking Jesus to people not in the North Shore.

00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:45.180
 Why aren't we running missions in Mount Druid?

00:05:46.259 --> 00:05:47.280
 Why are we doing that?

00:05:49.660 --> 00:05:50.300
 Why aren't we...

00:05:50.819 --> 00:05:51.460
 I don't know.

00:05:51.620 --> 00:05:52.540
 Like, it's not an...

00:05:52.540 --> 00:05:55.240
 We need to take Jesus to all those people.

00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:59.980
 And we'll be looking at different elements of this global mission

00:05:59.980 --> 00:06:02.079
 in the course of the next few weeks.

00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:05.000
 But this week, just three things.

00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:07.980
 I want to focus your attention on the passage

00:06:07.980 --> 00:06:09.060
 that we're looking at tonight.

00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:13.300
 The first thing that I would say is the context of the passage

00:06:13.300 --> 00:06:15.439
 is very different to our own.

00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:19.480
 I want to say this because just in case you're really naughty

00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:21.939
 and you go beyond chapter 9 into chapter 10,

00:06:23.060 --> 00:06:26.759
 and you actually see Jesus sending off his disciples,

00:06:27.220 --> 00:06:29.280
 and he makes sort of funny statements and saying,

00:06:29.500 --> 00:06:30.000
 don't...

00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:32.620
 Whatever you do, like, go on this mission,

00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:34.520
 don't go to the Samaritans,

00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:36.580
 and don't go to the Gentiles.

00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:37.700
 Right?

00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:39.780
 And you might think, well, what's going on there?

00:06:40.200 --> 00:06:41.920
 Can I just ignore that part?

00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:47.379
 Or how can we be consistently saying global mission means evangelising everyone

00:06:47.379 --> 00:06:48.259
 when Jesus...

00:06:48.259 --> 00:06:49.560
 Well, it's a different context.

00:06:49.660 --> 00:06:52.759
 It's a different salvation historical context.

00:06:53.460 --> 00:06:55.379
 The Bible itself explains it.

00:06:56.379 --> 00:06:58.300
 There is a plan at play.

00:06:59.780 --> 00:07:02.080
 The Jews, the people of Israel,

00:07:03.280 --> 00:07:06.300
 is a beneficiary of the gospel,

00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:08.500
 of the work of the Messiah first,

00:07:08.500 --> 00:07:10.439
 and then the rest of us.

00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:12.720
 So there is a priority in the plan.

00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:15.800
 And Matthew 9 and 10

00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:18.500
 is kind of like an expression of that.

00:07:19.339 --> 00:07:21.740
 The plan is still continuing

00:07:21.740 --> 00:07:25.079
 and therefore is still relevant to us.

00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:28.399
 So I want to point out approximately four things

00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:30.879
 out of the passage that we're reading.

00:07:30.980 --> 00:07:32.220
 If you go to the passage,

00:07:32.860 --> 00:07:34.300
 Matthew 9, verse 35.

00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:38.480
 Sorry, let me call up.

00:07:38.500 --> 00:07:39.500
 35.

00:07:41.740 --> 00:07:44.220
 Jesus went through all the towns and villages,

00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:46.720
 teaching in their synagogues,

00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:48.720
 preaching the good news of the kingdom

00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:51.759
 and healing every disease and sickness.

00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:55.959
 It's a summary statement of what Jesus has been doing.

00:07:56.379 --> 00:07:59.959
 If you look at chapter 8, chapter 9,

00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:01.699
 all of it,

00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:05.100
 you'll find that Jesus is doing exactly what that statement says.

00:08:05.100 --> 00:08:07.260
 He's going around preaching

00:08:07.260 --> 00:08:09.840
 and he's going around healing.

00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:12.260
 He might, you know,

00:08:12.700 --> 00:08:13.680
 he's rather restrictive.

00:08:14.500 --> 00:08:17.640
 Surely he was doing more than just preaching and healing.

00:08:18.140 --> 00:08:20.840
 Surely he was eating and chatting to people,

00:08:21.060 --> 00:08:21.840
 going to part.

00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:22.739
 But no, no, no.

00:08:22.919 --> 00:08:24.339
 The two activities

00:08:24.339 --> 00:08:26.939
 which Matthew focused on

00:08:26.939 --> 00:08:27.859
 are these two.

00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:29.979
 Preaching the gospel of the kingdom

00:08:29.979 --> 00:08:32.159
 and healing every disease.

00:08:32.419 --> 00:08:32.959
 Well, preaching.

00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:36.120
 It tells us something about

00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:39.059
 the central core of Christianity.

00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:40.579
 The core of Christianity,

00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:42.139
 the central message of Christianity

00:08:42.139 --> 00:08:44.600
 is not be a good person.

00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:45.600
 Okay?

00:08:46.920 --> 00:08:48.639
 And if that is what you think,

00:08:49.060 --> 00:08:51.759
 I want you to throw that away.

00:08:53.560 --> 00:08:53.840
 Okay?

00:08:54.659 --> 00:08:58.040
 The central message of the Bible of Christianity

00:08:58.040 --> 00:09:00.000
 is not be a good person.

00:09:00.980 --> 00:09:03.420
 Nor is it come and join a religion.

00:09:04.899 --> 00:09:05.399
 In a sense.

00:09:05.540 --> 00:09:06.779
 It's not, that is not,

00:09:07.040 --> 00:09:07.580
 the message,

00:09:07.700 --> 00:09:09.399
 the central core of the message of the Christianity

00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:10.320
 is a warning.

00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:12.139
 A warning.

00:09:12.139 --> 00:09:14.679
 It is like a sign on a highway.

00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:16.559
 If you're on your L's,

00:09:16.939 --> 00:09:18.279
 you dread to see the sign

00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:19.179
 because it says,

00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:20.059
 wrong way,

00:09:20.740 --> 00:09:22.580
 go back.

00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:24.899
 Okay?

00:09:25.139 --> 00:09:25.399
 That,

00:09:25.639 --> 00:09:27.419
 that is the message of Jesus.

00:09:28.379 --> 00:09:30.059
 Matthew chapter 4, 17.

00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:31.159
 Jesus says,

00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:31.759
 repent,

00:09:32.220 --> 00:09:34.100
 for the kingdom of heaven is near.

00:09:34.220 --> 00:09:34.740
 Repent.

00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:35.840
 Wrong way,

00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:37.899
 go the other way.

00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:38.899
 Turn, turn around.

00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:39.439
 Why?

00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:41.419
 Because the kingdom of heaven is near.

00:09:41.419 --> 00:09:41.899
 Because,

00:09:42.579 --> 00:09:44.860
 if you keep going the way that you do,

00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:48.219
 you will have a head-on collision with God.

00:09:49.379 --> 00:09:51.399
 And when his kingdom comes,

00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:53.479
 his judgment comes

00:09:53.479 --> 00:09:57.919
 to destroy evil and wickedness and rebellion.

00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:00.039
 And you are heading,

00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:06.500
 and you are heading face-to-face on a head-on collision with God.

00:10:06.839 --> 00:10:07.079
 So,

00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:07.979
 wrong way,

00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:09.439
 go back.

00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:10.439
 Repent,

00:10:10.699 --> 00:10:12.860
 for the kingdom of heaven is near.

00:10:14.019 --> 00:10:15.740
 The core of the Christian man.

00:10:15.939 --> 00:10:16.399
 Secondly,

00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:20.479
 we are told that Jesus was healing every sickness and disease.

00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:24.320
 And if you go back to chapter 9,

00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:25.399
 chapter 8,

00:10:26.019 --> 00:10:26.740
 what do you see?

00:10:26.800 --> 00:10:26.920
 Well,

00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:27.480
 chapter 9,

00:10:27.560 --> 00:10:28.560
 verse 1,

00:10:28.659 --> 00:10:30.659
 Jesus healed a paralytic man.

00:10:31.420 --> 00:10:32.779
 He forgave his sins.

00:10:33.340 --> 00:10:33.899
 Chapter 9,

00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:34.580
 verse 18,

00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:36.340
 there was a dead girl,

00:10:36.460 --> 00:10:38.600
 and Jesus gave life back to her.

00:10:38.600 --> 00:10:42.639
 In the same little passage,

00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:48.759
 we read of Jesus healing a woman who's been bleeding for 12 years.

00:10:49.460 --> 00:10:50.840
 Verse 27,

00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:53.480
 Jesus overcomes an evil spirit

00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:57.240
 and gives sight and speech back to a man.

00:10:58.340 --> 00:10:59.480
 What's that about?

00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:02.899
 It is about the world that we live in.

00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:04.620
 What is the world like

00:11:04.620 --> 00:11:06.420
 that is not the kingdom of God?

00:11:06.419 --> 00:11:09.360
 Where God is not,

00:11:09.620 --> 00:11:10.139
 as it were,

00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:11.699
 ruling in an absolute sense.

00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:12.579
 Where we are ruling.

00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:14.039
 Well,

00:11:14.139 --> 00:11:15.279
 that is the world that we live in.

00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:18.199
 And it is a world that is broken and cursed.

00:11:20.479 --> 00:11:21.259
 Long enough,

00:11:21.479 --> 00:11:22.799
 we all experience it.

00:11:23.259 --> 00:11:29.339
 It is a world of sickness and disease and tragedy and war and injustice

00:11:29.339 --> 00:11:33.279
 and self-serving ambition.

00:11:34.179 --> 00:11:35.139
 And above all,

00:11:35.139 --> 00:11:37.240
 it is a world of death.

00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:40.340
 Jesus has come

00:11:40.340 --> 00:11:42.740
 to preach

00:11:42.740 --> 00:11:46.319
 the news that God's kingdom is coming.

00:11:47.659 --> 00:11:52.199
 And what he does is he demonstrates what that kingdom is like.

00:11:52.460 --> 00:11:53.179
 And so he

00:11:53.179 --> 00:11:56.080
 went to the towns and villages

00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:59.100
 to heal every sickness and disease.

00:11:59.419 --> 00:12:02.159
 He freed people from evil and oppression.

00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:03.819
 He gave life

00:12:03.819 --> 00:12:06.519
 where there is death.

00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:06.919
 He

00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:09.559
 has come to bring a foretaste

00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:10.419
 of the kingdom

00:12:10.419 --> 00:12:11.759
 of heaven

00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:13.219
 where the good rule of God

00:12:13.219 --> 00:12:15.019
 reigns supreme.

00:12:16.899 --> 00:12:17.939
 So 35,

00:12:18.339 --> 00:12:18.980
 verse 35,

00:12:19.159 --> 00:12:20.539
 is a summary statement

00:12:20.539 --> 00:12:21.699
 of the work

00:12:21.699 --> 00:12:22.480
 of Jesus.

00:12:22.620 --> 00:12:23.819
 Jesus has come into the world

00:12:23.819 --> 00:12:24.860
 to do that.

00:12:24.860 --> 00:12:25.100
 Well,

00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:27.820
 what's that to do with

00:12:27.820 --> 00:12:28.919
 our mission?

00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:29.820
 Well,

00:12:29.840 --> 00:12:30.940
 there are three things to note.

00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:31.759
 Firstly,

00:12:31.980 --> 00:12:32.680
 the motivation

00:12:32.680 --> 00:12:33.860
 of mission.

00:12:34.259 --> 00:12:35.240
 Come with me

00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:35.960
 to have a look at

00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:36.980
 verse 36.

00:12:37.980 --> 00:12:38.980
 So a summary statement

00:12:38.980 --> 00:12:39.980
 of what Jesus has done.

00:12:40.740 --> 00:12:41.180
 36,

00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:42.200
 when he saw the crowds,

00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:42.580
 that is,

00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:43.899
 as he went around

00:12:43.899 --> 00:12:44.480
 to the towns

00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:45.019
 and the villages

00:12:45.019 --> 00:12:46.000
 and he saw the people,

00:12:47.139 --> 00:12:47.720
 what did he see?

00:12:47.800 --> 00:12:49.539
 He had compassion on them

00:12:49.539 --> 00:12:51.039
 because they were harassed

00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:51.879
 and helpless

00:12:51.879 --> 00:12:53.139
 like sheep

00:12:53.139 --> 00:12:54.799
 without a shepherd.

00:12:56.719 --> 00:12:57.839
 The motivation

00:12:57.839 --> 00:12:58.519
 for mission.

00:12:59.159 --> 00:12:59.399
 We

00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:01.139
 have inherited

00:13:01.139 --> 00:13:02.319
 this idea of God

00:13:02.319 --> 00:13:03.500
 from

00:13:03.500 --> 00:13:06.179
 the 19th century.

00:13:07.339 --> 00:13:08.219
 It's called deism,

00:13:08.500 --> 00:13:09.399
 for those of you

00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:10.259
 who are interested in this.

00:13:10.500 --> 00:13:11.559
 This idea of God

00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:11.860
 is,

00:13:12.139 --> 00:13:12.759
 we look at the world

00:13:12.759 --> 00:13:13.319
 around us

00:13:13.319 --> 00:13:14.599
 and it's a wonderful,

00:13:15.219 --> 00:13:16.620
 complex place.

00:13:16.899 --> 00:13:18.519
 It's a complex machine

00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:20.000
 like a supercomputer,

00:13:21.259 --> 00:13:21.539
 right,

00:13:21.620 --> 00:13:22.960
 with all the little bits

00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:23.139
 and,

00:13:23.539 --> 00:13:24.779
 and what we do in science

00:13:24.779 --> 00:13:25.679
 is that we discover

00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:26.579
 the intricacies

00:13:26.579 --> 00:13:27.799
 of the world

00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:28.419
 and,

00:13:28.439 --> 00:13:29.779
 and God is this genius

00:13:29.779 --> 00:13:31.840
 who kind of built

00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:33.319
 this amazing computer,

00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:35.299
 computer in his backyard.

00:13:35.539 --> 00:13:35.699
 You know,

00:13:35.740 --> 00:13:36.360
 he's that clever.

00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:38.480
 But the thing about

00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:39.539
 this genius,

00:13:39.740 --> 00:13:40.759
 inventor God

00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:42.279
 is that he's both

00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:44.199
 blind and indifferent.

00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:45.779
 You know,

00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:46.879
 he's built this machine,

00:13:47.259 --> 00:13:48.500
 he flipped the switch,

00:13:48.500 --> 00:13:49.840
 and the machine just,

00:13:50.059 --> 00:13:50.460
 you know,

00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:51.320
 it just churns.

00:13:51.379 --> 00:13:52.379
 It runs his routines

00:13:52.379 --> 00:13:54.659
 and sometimes things

00:13:54.659 --> 00:13:55.759
 happens in a routine

00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:56.879
 and,

00:13:57.080 --> 00:13:57.399
 you know,

00:13:57.480 --> 00:13:57.700
 he's,

00:13:57.799 --> 00:13:58.940
 and he doesn't do

00:13:58.940 --> 00:13:59.620
 anything about it.

00:13:59.679 --> 00:14:00.259
 He's blind

00:14:00.259 --> 00:14:01.120
 to whatever

00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:02.399
 happens to it.

00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:03.759
 You know,

00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:04.759
 when tragedy

00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:06.419
 strikes in our life,

00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:06.639
 you know,

00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:07.480
 there's a terrible

00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:08.220
 car accident

00:14:08.220 --> 00:14:09.860
 that takes away

00:14:09.860 --> 00:14:10.600
 the life of somebody

00:14:10.600 --> 00:14:11.340
 who cares about,

00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:12.879
 the inventor,

00:14:13.220 --> 00:14:13.580
 God,

00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:15.519
 can't see it.

00:14:16.139 --> 00:14:16.740
 That's why

00:14:16.740 --> 00:14:17.600
 he's not there

00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:18.720
 to do anything.

00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:19.699
 He didn't do it

00:14:19.699 --> 00:14:20.600
 because he's blind

00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:21.740
 or he's indifferent

00:14:21.740 --> 00:14:22.980
 or he can't do

00:14:22.980 --> 00:14:23.879
 anything about it.

00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:25.779
 It's called deism.

00:14:26.419 --> 00:14:26.620
 You know,

00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:27.600
 another sort of

00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:29.159
 popular conception

00:14:29.159 --> 00:14:29.720
 of that is

00:14:29.720 --> 00:14:30.699
 God off the gaps.

00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:31.799
 You know,

00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:33.100
 if we can't explain

00:14:33.100 --> 00:14:33.579
 something,

00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:34.840
 it must be God.

00:14:35.259 --> 00:14:36.120
 Everything else

00:14:36.120 --> 00:14:37.179
 we can explain,

00:14:37.579 --> 00:14:38.579
 it can't be God.

00:14:38.580 --> 00:14:41.420
 this is not

00:14:41.420 --> 00:14:42.020
 the picture

00:14:42.020 --> 00:14:43.000
 of the God

00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:43.860
 of the Bible.

00:14:44.940 --> 00:14:45.940
 What happens

00:14:45.940 --> 00:14:47.000
 when Jesus saw

00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:47.940
 the suffering

00:14:47.940 --> 00:14:49.060
 of the people?

00:14:49.940 --> 00:14:50.740
 We are told

00:14:50.740 --> 00:14:51.680
 in verse 36

00:14:51.680 --> 00:14:52.940
 that he was

00:14:52.940 --> 00:14:54.200
 moved

00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:55.900
 by compassion.

00:14:57.120 --> 00:14:58.400
 Not unmoved.

00:14:59.360 --> 00:14:59.920
 Not just

00:14:59.920 --> 00:15:00.680
 a God of the gaps.

00:15:00.800 --> 00:15:01.680
 Not this blind,

00:15:02.139 --> 00:15:02.780
 indifferent,

00:15:03.500 --> 00:15:04.080
 genius,

00:15:04.460 --> 00:15:05.340
 computer maker,

00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:06.340
 designer person.

00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:07.700
 He sees

00:15:07.700 --> 00:15:08.360
 your pain

00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:10.899
 He sees

00:15:10.899 --> 00:15:11.419
 your trouble,

00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:12.620
 He sees

00:15:12.620 --> 00:15:13.560
 your suffering

00:15:13.560 --> 00:15:14.759
 that you are

00:15:14.759 --> 00:15:15.580
 experiencing

00:15:15.580 --> 00:15:17.060
 and it breaks

00:15:17.060 --> 00:15:17.940
 His heart.

00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:21.340
 And He

00:15:21.340 --> 00:15:22.379
 did something

00:15:22.379 --> 00:15:22.940
 about it.

00:15:23.560 --> 00:15:24.820
 He sent

00:15:24.820 --> 00:15:25.779
 His Son

00:15:25.779 --> 00:15:26.980
 into the world

00:15:26.980 --> 00:15:28.200
 to deal

00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:29.060
 once

00:15:29.060 --> 00:15:29.879
 and definitive

00:15:29.879 --> 00:15:30.519
 of all

00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:32.320
 our suffering.

00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:33.539
 You know,

00:15:33.620 --> 00:15:34.680
 global mission.

00:15:35.220 --> 00:15:36.060
 The word mission,

00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:37.039
 it comes from

00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:37.920
 a Latin word,

00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:38.919
 missio,

00:15:39.139 --> 00:15:39.720
 which means

00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:41.320
 sent.

00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:44.200
 The Father

00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:45.940
 sent the Son

00:15:45.940 --> 00:15:48.659
 as He sees

00:15:48.659 --> 00:15:50.000
 your suffering,

00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:50.680
 my suffering.

00:15:51.100 --> 00:15:51.620
 And the Son

00:15:51.620 --> 00:15:52.279
 has come

00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:53.480
 to heal

00:15:53.480 --> 00:15:54.800
 every disease

00:15:54.800 --> 00:15:55.480
 and sickness,

00:15:55.740 --> 00:15:56.820
 to give life

00:15:56.820 --> 00:15:57.879
 where there's death,

00:15:58.139 --> 00:15:58.940
 to overcome

00:15:58.940 --> 00:15:59.700
 evil,

00:15:59.700 --> 00:16:00.500
 to bring in

00:16:00.500 --> 00:16:01.800
 to announce

00:16:01.800 --> 00:16:02.539
 the kingdom

00:16:02.539 --> 00:16:03.440
 of God.

00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:03.480
 God.

00:16:05.700 --> 00:16:06.560
 And the first

00:16:06.560 --> 00:16:06.920
 thing that we

00:16:06.920 --> 00:16:07.300
 need to

00:16:07.300 --> 00:16:07.840
 understand

00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:08.780
 in our

00:16:08.780 --> 00:16:09.840
 global mission,

00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:10.580
 conception of

00:16:10.580 --> 00:16:11.120
 our global

00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:11.560
 mission is

00:16:11.560 --> 00:16:12.720
 as followers

00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:13.600
 of Jesus,

00:16:13.980 --> 00:16:15.720
 we need to

00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:16.340
 have the same

00:16:16.340 --> 00:16:16.860
 compassion

00:16:16.860 --> 00:16:18.340
 that He has.

00:16:18.340 --> 00:16:20.660
 He wanted

00:16:20.660 --> 00:16:21.879
 His disciples

00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:22.920
 to see

00:16:22.920 --> 00:16:23.740
 that the harvest

00:16:23.740 --> 00:16:25.019
 is plentiful

00:16:25.019 --> 00:16:26.840
 but not

00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:28.040
 enough workers

00:16:28.040 --> 00:16:31.820
 to be

00:16:31.820 --> 00:16:32.360
 motivated

00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:34.040
 by His

00:16:34.040 --> 00:16:34.580
 compassion.

00:16:35.860 --> 00:16:36.600
 I was reading

00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:37.180
 this week,

00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:38.240
 apparently a study

00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:39.060
 was done by

00:16:39.060 --> 00:16:40.300
 the University

00:16:40.300 --> 00:16:41.280
 of California,

00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:41.680
 Berkeley.

00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:43.539
 The report

00:16:43.539 --> 00:16:44.159
 of the study,

00:16:44.319 --> 00:16:45.519
 if you want

00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:46.039
 to look it up,

00:16:46.539 --> 00:16:47.439
 is published

00:16:47.439 --> 00:16:48.059
 in a journal,

00:16:48.479 --> 00:16:48.719
 Social,

00:16:48.859 --> 00:16:49.419
 Psychological

00:16:49.419 --> 00:16:50.319
 and Personality

00:16:50.319 --> 00:16:51.059
 Signs.

00:16:52.179 --> 00:16:53.159
 And apparently

00:16:53.159 --> 00:16:53.959
 this is the

00:16:53.959 --> 00:16:55.719
 result of this

00:16:55.719 --> 00:16:56.259
 study that

00:16:56.259 --> 00:16:56.739
 they've done.

00:16:58.319 --> 00:16:58.879
 Atheists

00:16:58.879 --> 00:17:01.120
 help people

00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:02.579
 because of

00:17:02.579 --> 00:17:03.019
 compassion.

00:17:05.019 --> 00:17:05.579
 Right?

00:17:05.879 --> 00:17:06.619
 They see a

00:17:06.619 --> 00:17:07.139
 child

00:17:07.139 --> 00:17:09.639
 on a TV

00:17:09.639 --> 00:17:10.039
 set

00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:11.379
 and they're

00:17:11.379 --> 00:17:12.079
 not unmoved.

00:17:13.680 --> 00:17:14.639
 This study

00:17:14.639 --> 00:17:15.180
 concludes

00:17:15.180 --> 00:17:15.879
 that religious

00:17:15.879 --> 00:17:16.339
 people,

00:17:16.639 --> 00:17:17.180
 that is people

00:17:17.180 --> 00:17:17.680
 like you and

00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:17.940
 me,

00:17:18.940 --> 00:17:19.639
 we help

00:17:19.639 --> 00:17:20.159
 people

00:17:20.159 --> 00:17:21.200
 because of

00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:21.779
 our doctrine,

00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:24.139
 because of

00:17:24.139 --> 00:17:25.240
 our communal

00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:26.220
 identity

00:17:26.220 --> 00:17:27.460
 and our

00:17:27.460 --> 00:17:28.299
 reputational

00:17:28.299 --> 00:17:29.299
 concerns.

00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:34.839
 Now,

00:17:34.899 --> 00:17:35.220
 I don't know

00:17:35.220 --> 00:17:35.559
 how,

00:17:36.259 --> 00:17:36.539
 you know,

00:17:36.579 --> 00:17:37.139
 the parameters

00:17:37.139 --> 00:17:38.119
 and scopes

00:17:38.119 --> 00:17:38.599
 of the study

00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:38.779
 and all,

00:17:39.019 --> 00:17:39.659
 but assuming

00:17:39.660 --> 00:17:40.420
 that it is

00:17:40.420 --> 00:17:41.040
 true for a

00:17:41.040 --> 00:17:41.279
 moment,

00:17:41.620 --> 00:17:42.000
 that would

00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:42.680
 be awful,

00:17:42.800 --> 00:17:43.220
 wouldn't it?

00:17:45.060 --> 00:17:45.540
 Imagine

00:17:45.540 --> 00:17:46.500
 if your

00:17:46.500 --> 00:17:47.800
 parents were

00:17:47.800 --> 00:17:48.180
 to treat

00:17:48.180 --> 00:17:48.519
 you like

00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:48.840
 that,

00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:50.960
 or your

00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:51.580
 boyfriend or

00:17:51.580 --> 00:17:52.100
 girlfriend or

00:17:52.100 --> 00:17:52.420
 your wife,

00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:52.740
 you know,

00:17:53.660 --> 00:17:56.400
 I noticed

00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:56.720
 that you

00:17:56.720 --> 00:17:57.220
 were sick,

00:17:57.540 --> 00:17:58.519
 so I'm

00:17:58.519 --> 00:17:58.940
 calling,

00:17:59.620 --> 00:18:00.200
 but please

00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:01.400
 note that

00:18:01.400 --> 00:18:01.860
 I'm calling

00:18:01.860 --> 00:18:02.340
 not because

00:18:02.340 --> 00:18:02.920
 I care,

00:18:03.860 --> 00:18:05.000
 I'm only

00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:06.180
 calling because

00:18:06.180 --> 00:18:07.600
 that's just

00:18:07.600 --> 00:18:08.000
 something that

00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:08.380
 I have to

00:18:08.380 --> 00:18:08.700
 do,

00:18:09.700 --> 00:18:09.859
 you know,

00:18:09.920 --> 00:18:10.140
 is that

00:18:10.140 --> 00:18:10.680
 so in my

00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:11.380
 royal description?

00:18:14.099 --> 00:18:14.920
 And I'm

00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:15.700
 calling because

00:18:15.700 --> 00:18:16.960
 that's what I've

00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:17.599
 been told that

00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:17.960
 I have to

00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:18.240
 do.

00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:20.480
 Worse still,

00:18:20.819 --> 00:18:21.400
 I'm only

00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:22.079
 calling because

00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:23.000
 that's what

00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:23.480
 people at

00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:24.039
 church would

00:18:24.039 --> 00:18:24.680
 do as well

00:18:24.680 --> 00:18:24.980
 too.

00:18:25.460 --> 00:18:25.880
 Not because

00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:26.400
 I care,

00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:28.019
 frankly I

00:18:28.019 --> 00:18:28.319
 don't.

00:18:29.220 --> 00:18:29.579
 Imagine

00:18:29.579 --> 00:18:29.880
 that.

00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:31.839
 Awful,

00:18:31.940 --> 00:18:32.259
 wouldn't it?

00:18:32.259 --> 00:18:34.539
 That is

00:18:34.539 --> 00:18:35.279
 not the

00:18:35.279 --> 00:18:35.599
 God of

00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:35.879
 the Bible,

00:18:35.980 --> 00:18:36.220
 that is

00:18:36.220 --> 00:18:36.500
 not the

00:18:36.500 --> 00:18:37.039
 Jesus whom

00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:37.480
 we worship,

00:18:37.619 --> 00:18:38.839
 Jesus cares.

00:18:39.460 --> 00:18:39.859
 He sees

00:18:39.859 --> 00:18:40.319
 people in

00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:41.940
 need and

00:18:41.940 --> 00:18:42.839
 it breaks

00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:43.299
 his heart.

00:18:44.879 --> 00:18:45.519
 And as

00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:46.039
 followers of

00:18:46.039 --> 00:18:46.299
 Jesus,

00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:47.299
 we are to

00:18:47.299 --> 00:18:48.079
 be like

00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:48.440
 Jesus.

00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:53.480
 Look

00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:54.279
 around you,

00:18:54.680 --> 00:18:55.140
 look at

00:18:55.140 --> 00:18:55.759
 the world,

00:18:56.759 --> 00:18:58.220
 look at

00:18:58.220 --> 00:18:58.559
 Sydney,

00:18:58.559 --> 00:19:00.919
 and see

00:19:00.919 --> 00:19:02.059
 the needs

00:19:02.059 --> 00:19:02.559
 of the

00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:03.000
 people.

00:19:03.859 --> 00:19:04.099
 Can you

00:19:04.099 --> 00:19:04.440
 see it?

00:19:05.859 --> 00:19:06.779
 The lost

00:19:06.779 --> 00:19:07.440
 and harassed

00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:07.859
 and helpless

00:19:07.859 --> 00:19:08.379
 people.

00:19:09.839 --> 00:19:10.559
 We are

00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:10.960
 meant to

00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:12.059
 see those

00:19:12.059 --> 00:19:13.399
 people and

00:19:13.399 --> 00:19:13.919
 that ought to

00:19:13.919 --> 00:19:14.379
 break our

00:19:14.379 --> 00:19:14.579
 heart.

00:19:14.879 --> 00:19:15.440
 And mind

00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:15.819
 you,

00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:17.619
 not the

00:19:17.619 --> 00:19:19.179
 staffing kid

00:19:19.179 --> 00:19:20.019
 on TV,

00:19:21.879 --> 00:19:22.220
 you know,

00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:22.779
 not the

00:19:22.779 --> 00:19:24.539
 sick person

00:19:24.539 --> 00:19:25.319
 in the

00:19:25.319 --> 00:19:25.759
 hospital.

00:19:26.159 --> 00:19:26.599
 Of course

00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:27.039
 that would

00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:27.839
 move us

00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:28.539
 to tears.

00:19:28.559 --> 00:19:30.220
 but the

00:19:30.220 --> 00:19:30.700
 sinful

00:19:30.700 --> 00:19:31.700
 person

00:19:31.700 --> 00:19:33.000
 around you

00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:33.319
 who is

00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:33.759
 acting

00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:34.639
 sinfully,

00:19:35.299 --> 00:19:35.839
 who because

00:19:35.839 --> 00:19:36.259
 of their

00:19:36.259 --> 00:19:36.859
 sinfulness

00:19:36.859 --> 00:19:38.679
 is offending

00:19:38.679 --> 00:19:39.119
 you,

00:19:39.460 --> 00:19:39.759
 who is

00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:40.039
 taking

00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:40.519
 advantage

00:19:40.519 --> 00:19:41.099
 of you,

00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:42.419
 who tramples

00:19:42.419 --> 00:19:42.960
 on your

00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:43.839
 values,

00:19:46.119 --> 00:19:47.179
 we are

00:19:47.179 --> 00:19:47.819
 to feel

00:19:47.819 --> 00:19:48.639
 compassion

00:19:48.639 --> 00:19:49.619
 for them.

00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:52.339
 When they

00:19:52.339 --> 00:19:53.399
 behave in

00:19:53.399 --> 00:19:53.879
 their self

00:19:53.879 --> 00:19:54.559
 destructive

00:19:54.559 --> 00:19:55.220
 way,

00:19:55.679 --> 00:19:56.220
 we are

00:19:56.220 --> 00:19:57.000
 to recognize

00:19:57.000 --> 00:19:57.960
 that that

00:19:57.960 --> 00:19:58.819
 is part

00:19:58.819 --> 00:19:59.519
 of their

00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:00.600
 lostness.

00:20:02.100 --> 00:20:02.860
 And that

00:20:02.860 --> 00:20:03.360
 ought to

00:20:03.360 --> 00:20:04.460
 break our

00:20:04.460 --> 00:20:05.180
 heart instead

00:20:05.180 --> 00:20:06.120
 of us

00:20:06.120 --> 00:20:06.819
 getting angry,

00:20:07.460 --> 00:20:08.100
 getting even,

00:20:09.539 --> 00:20:10.259
 putting our

00:20:10.259 --> 00:20:10.900
 foot down and

00:20:10.900 --> 00:20:11.600
 asserting our

00:20:11.600 --> 00:20:12.000
 rights.

00:20:13.600 --> 00:20:14.140
 No,

00:20:14.299 --> 00:20:14.799
 when Jesus

00:20:14.799 --> 00:20:16.160
 saw sinful

00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:16.819
 people in their

00:20:16.819 --> 00:20:17.279
 sinfulness,

00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:18.420
 he had compassion.

00:20:18.420 --> 00:20:19.500
 what did Jesus

00:20:19.500 --> 00:20:20.700
 do when he

00:20:20.700 --> 00:20:22.279
 had compassion

00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:22.600
 on the

00:20:22.600 --> 00:20:22.880
 crowd?

00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:23.580
 What did it

00:20:23.580 --> 00:20:24.640
 move him

00:20:24.640 --> 00:20:24.960
 to do?

00:20:25.060 --> 00:20:25.160
 Well,

00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:25.680
 eventually,

00:20:26.320 --> 00:20:27.320
 to the cross

00:20:27.320 --> 00:20:28.259
 to die for

00:20:28.259 --> 00:20:29.420
 them and to

00:20:29.420 --> 00:20:29.960
 save them.

00:20:30.019 --> 00:20:30.620
 But in this

00:20:30.620 --> 00:20:31.600
 particular context,

00:20:32.140 --> 00:20:32.960
 what did it

00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:33.680
 move him to

00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:33.940
 do?

00:20:34.080 --> 00:20:35.320
 Verse 38,

00:20:35.319 --> 00:20:37.859
 they looked

00:20:37.859 --> 00:20:38.460
 like sheep

00:20:38.460 --> 00:20:38.919
 without a

00:20:38.919 --> 00:20:39.159
 shepherd.

00:20:40.599 --> 00:20:40.899
 And he

00:20:40.899 --> 00:20:41.359
 said to his

00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:41.799
 disciples,

00:20:41.939 --> 00:20:42.319
 the harvest

00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:43.000
 is plentiful,

00:20:43.419 --> 00:20:43.819
 but the

00:20:43.819 --> 00:20:44.240
 workers are

00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:44.539
 few.

00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:45.299
 Therefore,

00:20:45.500 --> 00:20:46.000
 38,

00:20:46.539 --> 00:20:47.079
 ask the

00:20:47.079 --> 00:20:47.359
 Lord of

00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:47.759
 the harvest

00:20:47.759 --> 00:20:48.279
 therefore to

00:20:48.279 --> 00:20:48.619
 send out

00:20:48.619 --> 00:20:49.359
 workers into

00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:50.179
 his harvest

00:20:50.179 --> 00:20:51.039
 field.

00:20:52.099 --> 00:20:52.679
 What did

00:20:52.679 --> 00:20:53.279
 it move

00:20:53.279 --> 00:20:54.220
 Jesus to

00:20:54.220 --> 00:20:54.379
 do?

00:20:54.439 --> 00:20:54.519
 His

00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:54.879
 compassion.

00:20:55.259 --> 00:20:55.419
 It

00:20:55.419 --> 00:20:55.919
 moves him

00:20:55.919 --> 00:20:56.519
 to command

00:20:56.519 --> 00:20:58.079
 his followers

00:20:58.079 --> 00:21:01.500
 to pray,

00:21:01.500 --> 00:21:04.680
 to ask

00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:05.039
 the Lord

00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:05.259
 of the

00:21:05.259 --> 00:21:05.839
 harvest to

00:21:05.839 --> 00:21:06.220
 send out

00:21:06.220 --> 00:21:07.099
 workers.

00:21:07.299 --> 00:21:07.619
 So that's

00:21:07.619 --> 00:21:08.019
 the second

00:21:08.019 --> 00:21:08.420
 thing.

00:21:08.779 --> 00:21:09.140
 The first

00:21:09.140 --> 00:21:09.400
 is the

00:21:09.400 --> 00:21:10.119
 motivation for

00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:10.859
 global mission

00:21:10.859 --> 00:21:11.220
 is to

00:21:11.220 --> 00:21:12.019
 compassion of

00:21:12.019 --> 00:21:12.299
 God.

00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:13.519
 Secondly,

00:21:13.720 --> 00:21:14.140
 the first

00:21:14.140 --> 00:21:14.380
 thing that

00:21:14.380 --> 00:21:14.700
 we do,

00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:15.779
 first activity

00:21:15.779 --> 00:21:17.099
 is prayer.

00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:19.039
 I think

00:21:19.039 --> 00:21:20.140
 when we

00:21:20.140 --> 00:21:20.519
 come to

00:21:20.519 --> 00:21:21.059
 global

00:21:21.059 --> 00:21:21.519
 mission,

00:21:22.779 --> 00:21:23.420
 if we

00:21:23.420 --> 00:21:23.880
 think that

00:21:23.880 --> 00:21:24.339
 it all

00:21:24.339 --> 00:21:24.880
 depends on

00:21:24.880 --> 00:21:25.039
 us,

00:21:25.099 --> 00:21:25.259
 you know,

00:21:25.299 --> 00:21:25.539
 when we

00:21:25.539 --> 00:21:25.920
 see a

00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:26.299
 needy

00:21:26.299 --> 00:21:27.440
 person or

00:21:27.440 --> 00:21:27.720
 an

00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:28.339
 unrighteous

00:21:28.339 --> 00:21:28.859
 person,

00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:29.859
 then what

00:21:29.859 --> 00:21:30.519
 we need

00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:31.380
 to do is

00:21:31.380 --> 00:21:31.820
 to,

00:21:31.820 --> 00:21:32.300
 you know,

00:21:32.360 --> 00:21:32.780
 organize

00:21:32.780 --> 00:21:33.420
 ourselves

00:21:33.420 --> 00:21:33.720
 and,

00:21:33.840 --> 00:21:34.300
 you know,

00:21:34.740 --> 00:21:35.760
 raise money,

00:21:36.760 --> 00:21:37.480
 social action,

00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:37.940
 change,

00:21:38.020 --> 00:21:38.580
 whatever it

00:21:38.580 --> 00:21:38.760
 is,

00:21:39.040 --> 00:21:39.980
 the last

00:21:39.980 --> 00:21:40.300
 thing that

00:21:40.300 --> 00:21:40.660
 we would

00:21:40.660 --> 00:21:41.500
 do is

00:21:41.500 --> 00:21:43.420
 to pray.

00:21:45.560 --> 00:21:46.400
 But the

00:21:46.400 --> 00:21:47.160
 first thing

00:21:47.160 --> 00:21:47.660
 that we

00:21:47.660 --> 00:21:48.240
 need to

00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:49.060
 recognize

00:21:49.060 --> 00:21:50.740
 is that

00:21:50.740 --> 00:21:52.120
 this is

00:21:52.120 --> 00:21:52.620
 not our

00:21:52.620 --> 00:21:52.920
 mission.

00:21:54.180 --> 00:21:54.440
 This

00:21:54.440 --> 00:21:55.460
 global

00:21:55.460 --> 00:21:56.380
 mission

00:21:56.380 --> 00:21:57.040
 that we

00:21:57.040 --> 00:21:57.620
 speak of

00:21:57.620 --> 00:21:58.260
 is not

00:21:58.260 --> 00:21:58.940
 our

00:21:58.940 --> 00:21:59.360
 mission.

00:22:00.580 --> 00:22:01.100
 In fact,

00:22:01.099 --> 00:22:01.399
 I'm going

00:22:01.399 --> 00:22:02.359
 to throw

00:22:02.359 --> 00:22:02.579
 something

00:22:02.579 --> 00:22:03.179
 theologically

00:22:03.179 --> 00:22:04.159
 controversial

00:22:04.159 --> 00:22:04.639
 out there

00:22:04.639 --> 00:22:05.019
 for you.

00:22:05.480 --> 00:22:05.980
 I want

00:22:05.980 --> 00:22:06.419
 to suggest

00:22:06.419 --> 00:22:06.719
 that St.

00:22:06.779 --> 00:22:07.019
 Paul's

00:22:07.019 --> 00:22:07.279
 has no

00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:07.559
 mission.

00:22:08.740 --> 00:22:09.039
 In fact,

00:22:09.099 --> 00:22:09.579
 no church

00:22:09.579 --> 00:22:09.939
 has a

00:22:09.939 --> 00:22:10.139
 mission.

00:22:11.719 --> 00:22:12.159
 Rather,

00:22:12.279 --> 00:22:12.559
 what we

00:22:12.559 --> 00:22:13.019
 have is

00:22:13.019 --> 00:22:13.599
 a God

00:22:13.599 --> 00:22:14.719
 who is

00:22:14.719 --> 00:22:14.939
 on a

00:22:14.939 --> 00:22:15.139
 mission.

00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:17.059
 Matter of

00:22:17.059 --> 00:22:17.480
 semantics,

00:22:17.619 --> 00:22:17.759
 yes,

00:22:17.839 --> 00:22:17.980
 yes,

00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:18.139
 yes,

00:22:18.179 --> 00:22:18.359
 yes,

00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:18.399
 yes,

00:22:18.399 --> 00:22:18.599
 but

00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:19.319
 important

00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:19.819
 distinction.

00:22:20.819 --> 00:22:21.299
 God

00:22:21.299 --> 00:22:21.679
 has a

00:22:21.679 --> 00:22:21.939
 mission.

00:22:22.419 --> 00:22:22.579
 We

00:22:22.579 --> 00:22:23.119
 don't.

00:22:23.779 --> 00:22:24.019
 He

00:22:24.019 --> 00:22:24.639
 invites

00:22:24.639 --> 00:22:25.119
 us

00:22:25.119 --> 00:22:25.939
 to take

00:22:25.939 --> 00:22:26.339
 part

00:22:26.339 --> 00:22:26.679
 in

00:22:26.679 --> 00:22:26.980
 his

00:22:26.980 --> 00:22:27.379
 mission.

00:22:28.379 --> 00:22:28.799
 It

00:22:28.799 --> 00:22:28.959
 is

00:22:28.959 --> 00:22:29.179
 his

00:22:29.179 --> 00:22:29.579
 mission.

00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:30.139
 The

00:22:30.139 --> 00:22:30.480
 workers

00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:30.759
 are

00:22:30.759 --> 00:22:31.119
 his.

00:22:31.319 --> 00:22:31.579
 The

00:22:31.579 --> 00:22:31.959
 world

00:22:31.959 --> 00:22:32.199
 is

00:22:32.199 --> 00:22:32.459
 his.

00:22:32.579 --> 00:22:32.679
 The

00:22:32.679 --> 00:22:33.059
 money

00:22:33.059 --> 00:22:33.319
 is

00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:33.559
 his.

00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:33.980
 The

00:22:33.980 --> 00:22:34.439
 harvest

00:22:34.439 --> 00:22:34.720
 is

00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:34.959
 his.

00:22:35.319 --> 00:22:35.480
 That

00:22:35.480 --> 00:22:35.639
 is

00:22:35.639 --> 00:22:36.059
 why

00:22:36.059 --> 00:22:36.779
 Jesus,

00:22:37.339 --> 00:22:38.639
 first

00:22:38.639 --> 00:22:38.939
 thing,

00:22:39.740 --> 00:22:40.099
 commands

00:22:40.099 --> 00:22:40.319
 his

00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:40.679
 followers

00:22:40.679 --> 00:22:41.639
 to pray.

00:22:44.859 --> 00:22:45.579
 We

00:22:45.579 --> 00:22:48.559
 may

00:22:48.559 --> 00:22:49.279
 subconsciously

00:22:49.279 --> 00:22:49.519
 have

00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:49.919
 adopted

00:22:49.919 --> 00:22:51.039
 this

00:22:51.039 --> 00:22:51.480
 thinking

00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:52.099
 that

00:22:52.099 --> 00:22:52.879
 praying,

00:22:53.220 --> 00:22:53.419
 yes,

00:22:53.420 --> 00:22:53.680
 is

00:22:53.680 --> 00:22:54.080
 important

00:22:54.080 --> 00:22:54.340
 for

00:22:54.340 --> 00:22:54.720
 mission,

00:22:55.640 --> 00:22:56.920
 but it's

00:22:56.920 --> 00:22:57.300
 the type

00:22:57.300 --> 00:22:57.600
 of thing

00:22:57.600 --> 00:22:58.140
 that you

00:22:58.140 --> 00:22:59.360
 do when

00:22:59.360 --> 00:23:00.140
 you can't

00:23:00.140 --> 00:23:01.019
 go to

00:23:01.019 --> 00:23:02.240
 Peter

00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:02.800
 Marisberg.

00:23:03.800 --> 00:23:04.740
 If you're

00:23:04.740 --> 00:23:04.779
 a

00:23:04.779 --> 00:23:05.340
 clean toss,

00:23:05.620 --> 00:23:05.940
 that's

00:23:05.940 --> 00:23:06.300
 where you

00:23:06.300 --> 00:23:06.620
 go.

00:23:07.840 --> 00:23:08.740
 If you

00:23:08.740 --> 00:23:09.180
 are

00:23:09.180 --> 00:23:09.980
 working

00:23:09.980 --> 00:23:10.620
 and you

00:23:10.620 --> 00:23:11.240
 earn a

00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:11.560
 decent

00:23:11.560 --> 00:23:12.160
 salary,

00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:12.720
 you can

00:23:12.720 --> 00:23:13.160
 give.

00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:15.140
 But if

00:23:15.140 --> 00:23:15.460
 you're not

00:23:15.460 --> 00:23:15.800
 a clean

00:23:15.800 --> 00:23:16.680
 toss and

00:23:16.680 --> 00:23:17.080
 you're not

00:23:17.080 --> 00:23:17.539
 working,

00:23:17.820 --> 00:23:18.380
 then maybe

00:23:18.380 --> 00:23:20.080
 you pray.

00:23:21.900 --> 00:23:22.720
 I want

00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:23.120
 to suggest

00:23:23.119 --> 00:23:23.599
 to you

00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:24.599
 that is

00:23:24.599 --> 00:23:25.279
 so far

00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:26.059
 from the

00:23:26.059 --> 00:23:26.699
 teaching of

00:23:26.699 --> 00:23:27.119
 scripture.

00:23:28.139 --> 00:23:28.719
 Prayer is

00:23:28.719 --> 00:23:29.239
 not something

00:23:29.239 --> 00:23:29.859
 that we

00:23:29.859 --> 00:23:30.759
 do when

00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:31.279
 we can't

00:23:31.279 --> 00:23:31.759
 do anything

00:23:31.759 --> 00:23:32.779
 else in

00:23:32.779 --> 00:23:33.039
 mission.

00:23:33.979 --> 00:23:34.599
 I want

00:23:34.599 --> 00:23:35.059
 to suggest

00:23:35.059 --> 00:23:35.579
 to you

00:23:35.579 --> 00:23:36.579
 that praying

00:23:36.579 --> 00:23:37.399
 is part

00:23:37.399 --> 00:23:37.659
 of the

00:23:37.659 --> 00:23:37.919
 mission,

00:23:39.019 --> 00:23:39.939
 that praying

00:23:39.939 --> 00:23:41.199
 is just

00:23:41.199 --> 00:23:42.059
 as important

00:23:42.059 --> 00:23:42.779
 as going.

00:23:43.819 --> 00:23:44.119
 Here's

00:23:44.119 --> 00:23:44.519
 something else

00:23:44.519 --> 00:23:45.079
 controversial,

00:23:46.059 --> 00:23:47.439
 that when

00:23:47.439 --> 00:23:48.179
 you're praying

00:23:48.179 --> 00:23:49.199
 your 30

00:23:49.199 --> 00:23:49.699
 days of

00:23:49.699 --> 00:23:50.199
 challenge,

00:23:51.159 --> 00:23:51.639
 that you

00:23:51.639 --> 00:23:52.539
 are engaging

00:23:52.539 --> 00:23:54.059
 in something

00:23:54.059 --> 00:23:54.519
 that is

00:23:54.519 --> 00:23:55.019
 just as

00:23:55.019 --> 00:23:55.480
 important

00:23:55.480 --> 00:23:56.379
 as what

00:23:56.379 --> 00:23:56.559
 the

00:23:56.559 --> 00:23:56.920
 Clint

00:23:56.920 --> 00:23:57.200
 Hosses

00:23:57.200 --> 00:23:57.379
 are

00:23:57.379 --> 00:23:57.779
 doing

00:23:57.779 --> 00:23:58.379
 in

00:23:58.379 --> 00:23:58.559
 Peter

00:23:58.559 --> 00:23:59.099
 Merisberg.

00:24:03.819 --> 00:24:04.599
 Every

00:24:04.599 --> 00:24:05.359
 Christian is

00:24:05.359 --> 00:24:06.019
 engaged in

00:24:06.019 --> 00:24:06.799
 this global

00:24:06.799 --> 00:24:07.599
 mission.

00:24:08.500 --> 00:24:09.039
 Mission

00:24:09.039 --> 00:24:09.899
 isn't just

00:24:09.899 --> 00:24:10.639
 for the

00:24:10.639 --> 00:24:11.399
 professional

00:24:11.399 --> 00:24:12.279
 missionary.

00:24:14.159 --> 00:24:14.859
 Going out

00:24:14.859 --> 00:24:15.519
 to Mount

00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:16.240
 Druid or

00:24:16.240 --> 00:24:17.059
 reaching out

00:24:17.059 --> 00:24:17.519
 to the

00:24:17.519 --> 00:24:18.379
 homeless people

00:24:18.380 --> 00:24:19.000
 in Chesswood

00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:19.980
 isn't just

00:24:19.980 --> 00:24:20.480
 for someone

00:24:20.480 --> 00:24:21.300
 who's gone

00:24:21.300 --> 00:24:21.740
 to Bible

00:24:21.740 --> 00:24:22.240
 college.

00:24:24.040 --> 00:24:24.600
 Global

00:24:24.600 --> 00:24:25.500
 mission is

00:24:25.500 --> 00:24:26.180
 for all

00:24:26.180 --> 00:24:26.720
 of us.

00:24:27.700 --> 00:24:28.240
 And you,

00:24:28.400 --> 00:24:28.580
 it doesn't

00:24:28.580 --> 00:24:29.020
 matter what

00:24:29.020 --> 00:24:29.600
 stage in

00:24:29.600 --> 00:24:30.240
 life, what

00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:31.320
 capacity, what

00:24:31.320 --> 00:24:32.280
 resources, you

00:24:32.280 --> 00:24:32.780
 can get

00:24:32.780 --> 00:24:33.240
 involved in

00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:33.400
 it.

00:24:33.840 --> 00:24:34.140
 And the

00:24:34.140 --> 00:24:34.800
 most important

00:24:34.800 --> 00:24:35.140
 thing that

00:24:35.140 --> 00:24:35.420
 you can

00:24:35.420 --> 00:24:37.320
 do is

00:24:37.320 --> 00:24:37.960
 to pray.

00:24:39.700 --> 00:24:40.240
 Move

00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:40.780
 by God's

00:24:40.780 --> 00:24:41.260
 compassion,

00:24:41.840 --> 00:24:42.420
 move to

00:24:42.420 --> 00:24:42.640
 prayer.

00:24:42.740 --> 00:24:43.100
 Well, what

00:24:43.100 --> 00:24:44.140
 do we pray

00:24:44.140 --> 00:24:44.840
 for, verse

00:24:44.840 --> 00:24:45.700
 38 again?

00:24:47.320 --> 00:24:48.140
 Jesus says,

00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:49.840
 pray for the

00:24:49.840 --> 00:24:50.300
 Lord of the

00:24:50.300 --> 00:24:51.360
 harvest to

00:24:51.360 --> 00:24:51.880
 send out

00:24:51.880 --> 00:24:52.440
 workers.

00:24:53.920 --> 00:24:54.720
 I have to

00:24:54.720 --> 00:24:55.360
 say that this

00:24:55.360 --> 00:24:55.720
 is actually

00:24:55.720 --> 00:24:56.540
 quite hard to

00:24:56.540 --> 00:24:57.360
 comprehend in

00:24:57.360 --> 00:24:58.020
 many respects.

00:24:59.820 --> 00:25:00.580
 It's kind of

00:25:00.580 --> 00:25:01.440
 like an odd

00:25:01.440 --> 00:25:02.380
 thing to pray

00:25:02.380 --> 00:25:02.780
 for.

00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:04.100
 You know, you

00:25:04.100 --> 00:25:04.340
 would have

00:25:04.340 --> 00:25:04.940
 expected Jesus

00:25:04.940 --> 00:25:05.960
 to say, no,

00:25:07.140 --> 00:25:08.400
 pray that

00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:10.060
 the harvest

00:25:10.060 --> 00:25:11.200
 is plentiful,

00:25:12.040 --> 00:25:13.440
 pray that the

00:25:13.440 --> 00:25:14.020
 harvest will be

00:25:14.019 --> 00:25:14.440
 harvested.

00:25:15.379 --> 00:25:15.619
 You know,

00:25:15.779 --> 00:25:16.200
 there's a

00:25:16.200 --> 00:25:16.660
 world of

00:25:16.660 --> 00:25:17.339
 needy people

00:25:17.339 --> 00:25:17.779
 out there,

00:25:17.879 --> 00:25:18.460
 pray that God

00:25:18.460 --> 00:25:19.799
 will meet

00:25:19.799 --> 00:25:20.440
 the needs of

00:25:20.440 --> 00:25:20.799
 people.

00:25:20.920 --> 00:25:21.539
 I mean, he

00:25:21.539 --> 00:25:22.139
 can do that,

00:25:22.180 --> 00:25:22.660
 can't he?

00:25:23.559 --> 00:25:24.119
 He's our

00:25:24.119 --> 00:25:25.339
 almighty God,

00:25:25.759 --> 00:25:26.119
 created

00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:26.740
 everything.

00:25:27.779 --> 00:25:28.460
 This is why

00:25:28.460 --> 00:25:29.279
 this prayer is

00:25:29.279 --> 00:25:30.039
 so odd,

00:25:31.319 --> 00:25:32.079
 that of all

00:25:32.079 --> 00:25:32.619
 the things that

00:25:32.619 --> 00:25:33.039
 we are to

00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:33.519
 pray for,

00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:33.879
 that his

00:25:33.879 --> 00:25:34.500
 disciples are

00:25:34.500 --> 00:25:35.039
 to pray for,

00:25:35.319 --> 00:25:35.980
 that we are

00:25:35.980 --> 00:25:36.539
 to pray that

00:25:36.539 --> 00:25:37.259
 God will send

00:25:37.259 --> 00:25:38.359
 out workers.

00:25:40.440 --> 00:25:41.240
 Yes, our

00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:42.139
 God can meet

00:25:42.139 --> 00:25:43.359
 human needs

00:25:43.359 --> 00:25:44.519
 directly, he

00:25:44.519 --> 00:25:45.319
 can rain down

00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:45.979
 manna from

00:25:45.979 --> 00:25:46.579
 heaven to

00:25:46.579 --> 00:25:47.379
 feed the

00:25:47.379 --> 00:25:48.479
 hungry, he

00:25:48.479 --> 00:25:49.119
 can rain down

00:25:49.119 --> 00:25:50.179
 fire to

00:25:50.179 --> 00:25:50.939
 devour the

00:25:50.939 --> 00:25:51.279
 wicked.

00:25:53.879 --> 00:25:54.539
 But here,

00:25:54.819 --> 00:25:55.699
 Jesus commands

00:25:55.699 --> 00:25:57.000
 his disciples

00:25:57.000 --> 00:25:58.859
 to pray, not

00:25:58.859 --> 00:25:59.599
 just to save

00:25:59.599 --> 00:26:00.679
 people, but

00:26:00.679 --> 00:26:01.979
 that God will

00:26:01.979 --> 00:26:02.899
 send out workers

00:26:02.899 --> 00:26:04.639
 into the

00:26:04.639 --> 00:26:05.240
 harvest field.

00:26:06.259 --> 00:26:06.779
 The harvest

00:26:06.779 --> 00:26:07.879
 is plentiful,

00:26:08.039 --> 00:26:08.719
 but more

00:26:08.719 --> 00:26:09.879
 workers is

00:26:09.879 --> 00:26:10.279
 needed.

00:26:10.279 --> 00:26:12.139
 just to skip

00:26:12.139 --> 00:26:12.960
 forward in

00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:13.599
 chapter 10,

00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:14.720
 you see that

00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:15.440
 Jesus then

00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:16.720
 immediately sent

00:26:16.720 --> 00:26:17.460
 out the

00:26:17.460 --> 00:26:18.599
 disciples into

00:26:18.599 --> 00:26:19.220
 the world.

00:26:20.059 --> 00:26:20.740
 The followers,

00:26:21.000 --> 00:26:21.960
 in fact, became

00:26:21.960 --> 00:26:23.539
 the answer to

00:26:23.539 --> 00:26:24.039
 their own

00:26:24.039 --> 00:26:24.660
 prayers.

00:26:25.839 --> 00:26:26.680
 It is true

00:26:26.680 --> 00:26:27.319
 that God could

00:26:27.319 --> 00:26:28.200
 fix the world

00:26:28.200 --> 00:26:30.379
 with a

00:26:30.379 --> 00:26:30.720
 snap of

00:26:30.720 --> 00:26:30.980
 finger.

00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:34.160
 That might be

00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:35.019
 our wisdom

00:26:35.019 --> 00:26:37.599
 and how we

00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:38.039
 might see

00:26:38.039 --> 00:26:39.139
 things, but

00:26:39.139 --> 00:26:40.259
 God in his

00:26:40.259 --> 00:26:41.900
 wisdom and

00:26:41.900 --> 00:26:42.339
 in his

00:26:42.339 --> 00:26:43.619
 might has

00:26:43.619 --> 00:26:45.339
 chosen to

00:26:45.339 --> 00:26:46.119
 save this

00:26:46.119 --> 00:26:47.099
 world to

00:26:47.099 --> 00:26:47.539
 meet the

00:26:47.539 --> 00:26:47.940
 needs of

00:26:47.940 --> 00:26:49.000
 people through

00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:50.139
 other people.

00:26:53.139 --> 00:26:53.980
 Proclaiming,

00:26:54.980 --> 00:26:55.839
 bringing the

00:26:55.839 --> 00:26:57.099
 kingdom of

00:26:57.099 --> 00:26:58.680
 his kingdom.

00:26:59.879 --> 00:27:01.240
 For global

00:27:01.240 --> 00:27:02.119
 mission is

00:27:02.119 --> 00:27:03.240
 just not a

00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:04.279
 task to be

00:27:04.279 --> 00:27:05.359
 done, not

00:27:05.359 --> 00:27:05.740
 just a

00:27:05.740 --> 00:27:06.799
 project to

00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:09.019
 undertake, but

00:27:09.019 --> 00:27:10.440
 relationships to

00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:11.059
 be formed.

00:27:12.359 --> 00:27:13.379
 When we pray,

00:27:13.539 --> 00:27:14.180
 when we engage

00:27:14.180 --> 00:27:14.700
 in mission,

00:27:16.339 --> 00:27:19.259
 we're forming

00:27:19.259 --> 00:27:20.000
 a fellowship.

00:27:20.940 --> 00:27:21.399
 We're being

00:27:21.399 --> 00:27:22.359
 involved in

00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:23.279
 the lives of

00:27:23.279 --> 00:27:23.899
 people far,

00:27:23.960 --> 00:27:24.619
 far away.

00:27:25.700 --> 00:27:26.200
 There's

00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:26.660
 relationship.

00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:27.740
 It is not

00:27:27.740 --> 00:27:28.700
 just superstition.

00:27:29.759 --> 00:27:30.779
 Somehow, if we

00:27:30.779 --> 00:27:31.799
 raise X dollars,

00:27:32.160 --> 00:27:32.819
 then things will

00:27:32.819 --> 00:27:33.200
 happen.

00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:35.220
 global mission

00:27:35.220 --> 00:27:36.380
 involves faith.

00:27:36.840 --> 00:27:37.660
 It's not just a

00:27:37.660 --> 00:27:38.140
 forming of

00:27:38.140 --> 00:27:38.960
 relationship with

00:27:38.960 --> 00:27:40.259
 other people, it

00:27:40.259 --> 00:27:41.160
 is a forming of

00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:42.299
 relationship with

00:27:42.299 --> 00:27:42.759
 God.

00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:46.880
 Fundamentally, at

00:27:46.880 --> 00:27:47.400
 a theological

00:27:47.400 --> 00:27:48.900
 level, we see

00:27:48.900 --> 00:27:50.160
 here that global

00:27:50.160 --> 00:27:51.279
 mission, the

00:27:51.279 --> 00:27:52.539
 underlying

00:27:52.539 --> 00:27:54.600
 theology, that

00:27:54.600 --> 00:27:55.160
 God uses

00:27:55.160 --> 00:27:56.600
 people, that

00:27:56.600 --> 00:27:57.620
 almighty God

00:27:57.620 --> 00:27:58.259
 who can use

00:27:58.259 --> 00:27:58.960
 anything that he

00:27:58.960 --> 00:28:00.480
 wants, use

00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:04.000
 you and me, to

00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:05.279
 save people.

00:28:05.380 --> 00:28:06.079
 That is why

00:28:06.079 --> 00:28:07.339
 Jesus commands

00:28:07.339 --> 00:28:08.539
 his followers to

00:28:08.539 --> 00:28:09.480
 pray for God to

00:28:09.480 --> 00:28:10.720
 set out workers.

00:28:13.220 --> 00:28:14.680
 The context of

00:28:14.680 --> 00:28:15.940
 the passage is

00:28:15.940 --> 00:28:16.500
 different to

00:28:16.500 --> 00:28:17.500
 ours in terms of

00:28:17.500 --> 00:28:18.339
 its salvation

00:28:18.339 --> 00:28:19.559
 historical context,

00:28:20.160 --> 00:28:22.160
 but the plan

00:28:22.160 --> 00:28:23.200
 continues.

00:28:23.200 --> 00:28:25.100
 There are

00:28:25.100 --> 00:28:25.960
 still things

00:28:25.960 --> 00:28:26.960
 relevant for

00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:28.160
 us today, and

00:28:28.160 --> 00:28:28.640
 I want to draw

00:28:28.640 --> 00:28:29.620
 four conclusions

00:28:29.620 --> 00:28:30.519
 from this

00:28:30.519 --> 00:28:30.940
 passage.

00:28:31.380 --> 00:28:31.819
 The first

00:28:31.819 --> 00:28:32.480
 thing is,

00:28:34.180 --> 00:28:34.920
 God's kingdom

00:28:34.920 --> 00:28:35.299
 is still

00:28:35.299 --> 00:28:35.600
 coming.

00:28:37.600 --> 00:28:38.559
 As Jesus

00:28:38.559 --> 00:28:39.440
 went around

00:28:39.440 --> 00:28:40.440
 the towns and

00:28:40.440 --> 00:28:40.920
 the villages

00:28:40.920 --> 00:28:42.539
 proclaiming the

00:28:42.539 --> 00:28:43.400
 kingdom of God,

00:28:43.539 --> 00:28:44.840
 saying, you're on a

00:28:44.840 --> 00:28:45.900
 collision course, so

00:28:45.900 --> 00:28:47.039
 repent and believe

00:28:47.039 --> 00:28:48.080
 in the good news,

00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:49.319
 that is still

00:28:49.319 --> 00:28:49.720
 true.

00:28:51.039 --> 00:28:52.179
 The kingdom of

00:28:52.179 --> 00:28:53.019
 God is still

00:28:53.019 --> 00:28:53.379
 coming.

00:28:53.799 --> 00:28:54.960
 The judgment of

00:28:54.960 --> 00:28:55.759
 God on this

00:28:55.759 --> 00:28:56.639
 world is still

00:28:56.639 --> 00:28:57.000
 coming.

00:28:58.220 --> 00:28:59.059
 This is still

00:28:59.059 --> 00:29:00.119
 the time to

00:29:00.119 --> 00:29:02.879
 repent and

00:29:02.879 --> 00:29:03.480
 believe the

00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:04.000
 good news.

00:29:05.359 --> 00:29:06.319
 If you haven't

00:29:06.319 --> 00:29:07.099
 done that, let

00:29:07.099 --> 00:29:08.159
 me invite you to

00:29:08.159 --> 00:29:09.099
 take the

00:29:09.099 --> 00:29:10.460
 opportunity, for

00:29:10.460 --> 00:29:11.659
 the window of

00:29:11.659 --> 00:29:13.119
 opportunity is

00:29:13.119 --> 00:29:14.199
 getting smaller.

00:29:14.299 --> 00:29:14.799
 That is still

00:29:14.799 --> 00:29:15.159
 true.

00:29:15.579 --> 00:29:16.220
 The kingdom of

00:29:16.220 --> 00:29:16.779
 God is still

00:29:16.779 --> 00:29:17.299
 coming, the

00:29:17.299 --> 00:29:17.819
 opportunity,

00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:19.079
 to escape the

00:29:19.079 --> 00:29:19.599
 judgment of God

00:29:19.599 --> 00:29:20.199
 is still there.

00:29:20.679 --> 00:29:22.059
 Secondly, what

00:29:22.059 --> 00:29:23.039
 is still true is

00:29:23.039 --> 00:29:23.819
 the compassion of

00:29:23.819 --> 00:29:24.059
 Jesus.

00:29:26.859 --> 00:29:28.659
 Don't prove

00:29:28.659 --> 00:29:29.359
 this Berkeley

00:29:29.359 --> 00:29:30.119
 study to be

00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:30.519
 true.

00:29:30.919 --> 00:29:32.139
 As a religious

00:29:32.139 --> 00:29:34.059
 person, don't

00:29:34.059 --> 00:29:35.899
 be motivated by

00:29:35.899 --> 00:29:36.839
 simply your

00:29:36.839 --> 00:29:37.199
 doctrine.

00:29:38.519 --> 00:29:38.960
 Let your

00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:40.099
 doctrine move

00:29:40.099 --> 00:29:40.619
 your heart.

00:29:41.819 --> 00:29:42.699
 Don't do

00:29:42.699 --> 00:29:43.240
 things because

00:29:43.240 --> 00:29:44.119
 you have to,

00:29:44.460 --> 00:29:44.879
 or because

00:29:44.879 --> 00:29:45.559
 everybody else

00:29:45.559 --> 00:29:46.480
 is doing it.

00:29:46.480 --> 00:29:48.360
 lift your

00:29:48.360 --> 00:29:49.019
 eyes.

00:29:50.539 --> 00:29:50.960
 See the

00:29:50.960 --> 00:29:51.579
 needs.

00:29:52.860 --> 00:29:53.220
 As you

00:29:53.220 --> 00:29:54.160
 experience and

00:29:54.160 --> 00:29:54.900
 see sin in

00:29:54.900 --> 00:29:56.259
 this world, let

00:29:56.259 --> 00:29:57.620
 that break

00:29:57.620 --> 00:29:58.200
 your heart.

00:29:59.480 --> 00:30:00.099
 Don't be

00:30:00.099 --> 00:30:00.720
 unmoved.

00:30:02.160 --> 00:30:02.819
 Do something.

00:30:03.180 --> 00:30:03.700
 Well, what to

00:30:03.700 --> 00:30:03.920
 do?

00:30:04.380 --> 00:30:04.620
 Pray.

00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:07.960
 Pray.

00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:08.019
 Pray.

00:30:08.019 --> 00:30:11.019
 Take that

00:30:11.019 --> 00:30:11.420
 challenge.

00:30:11.420 --> 00:30:12.700
 Take the 30-day

00:30:12.700 --> 00:30:13.200
 challenge.

00:30:13.339 --> 00:30:14.420
 Every day, not

00:30:14.420 --> 00:30:15.000
 asking you to

00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:15.900
 wake up at 4 in

00:30:15.900 --> 00:30:17.859
 the morning, not

00:30:17.859 --> 00:30:18.420
 asking you to

00:30:18.420 --> 00:30:19.279
 spend 6 hours

00:30:19.279 --> 00:30:20.200
 praying, although

00:30:20.200 --> 00:30:21.019
 if you want to

00:30:21.019 --> 00:30:22.779
 do that, go for

00:30:22.779 --> 00:30:22.980
 it.

00:30:24.099 --> 00:30:25.440
 How hard is it, do

00:30:25.440 --> 00:30:26.579
 you think, to pray

00:30:26.579 --> 00:30:28.279
 for the

00:30:28.279 --> 00:30:29.039
 Goskins?

00:30:29.940 --> 00:30:30.559
 How long do you

00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:30.879
 think they will

00:30:30.879 --> 00:30:31.279
 take you?

00:30:31.279 --> 00:30:33.819
 I don't

00:30:33.819 --> 00:30:34.500
 know, 10

00:30:34.500 --> 00:30:34.879
 seconds?

00:30:35.980 --> 00:30:36.759
 30 seconds?

00:30:37.119 --> 00:30:37.740
 It might take you

00:30:37.740 --> 00:30:38.180
 a little while

00:30:38.180 --> 00:30:38.799
 longer to find

00:30:38.799 --> 00:30:39.220
 out where they

00:30:39.220 --> 00:30:40.920
 are and what

00:30:40.920 --> 00:30:42.660
 they're doing, but

00:30:42.660 --> 00:30:42.960
 that wouldn't

00:30:42.960 --> 00:30:43.420
 take more than

00:30:43.420 --> 00:30:44.099
 two minutes or

00:30:44.099 --> 00:30:44.700
 five minutes.

00:30:46.460 --> 00:30:47.399
 Spend five

00:30:47.399 --> 00:30:48.099
 minutes every

00:30:48.099 --> 00:30:49.299
 day just

00:30:49.299 --> 00:30:50.960
 praying for the

00:30:50.960 --> 00:30:51.700
 work of God in

00:30:51.700 --> 00:30:52.259
 this world.

00:30:53.259 --> 00:30:53.980
 Think about all

00:30:53.980 --> 00:30:55.299
 the lost tribes,

00:30:55.420 --> 00:30:56.440
 even in

00:30:56.440 --> 00:30:56.879
 Chastwood.

00:30:58.000 --> 00:30:58.379
 Do you know

00:30:58.379 --> 00:30:58.639
 there are

00:30:58.639 --> 00:30:59.519
 Napoles in

00:30:59.519 --> 00:30:59.899
 Chastwood?

00:30:59.900 --> 00:31:02.060
 I met a

00:31:02.060 --> 00:31:02.259
 few.

00:31:03.040 --> 00:31:03.380
 I didn't

00:31:03.380 --> 00:31:03.700
 know that.

00:31:04.420 --> 00:31:05.120
 Is there a

00:31:05.120 --> 00:31:05.740
 Napoles church

00:31:05.740 --> 00:31:06.259
 in Chastwood?

00:31:07.680 --> 00:31:08.500
 I don't think

00:31:08.500 --> 00:31:08.720
 so.

00:31:10.240 --> 00:31:11.200
 Pray for them.

00:31:11.940 --> 00:31:12.440
 Where are the

00:31:12.440 --> 00:31:13.080
 lost tribes?

00:31:13.600 --> 00:31:14.200
 Where are the

00:31:14.200 --> 00:31:16.120
 cultural barriers

00:31:16.120 --> 00:31:17.360
 that we refuse to

00:31:17.360 --> 00:31:17.740
 cross?

00:31:18.240 --> 00:31:18.880
 Who are the

00:31:18.880 --> 00:31:20.120
 lost people in

00:31:20.120 --> 00:31:20.660
 our midst?

00:31:21.340 --> 00:31:22.040
 Is it a certain

00:31:22.040 --> 00:31:22.820
 age group of

00:31:22.820 --> 00:31:23.120
 people?

00:31:24.259 --> 00:31:24.740
 Certain

00:31:24.740 --> 00:31:26.220
 lifestyle of

00:31:26.220 --> 00:31:26.560
 people?

00:31:27.180 --> 00:31:27.540
 Certain

00:31:27.540 --> 00:31:29.259
 professions?

00:31:29.900 --> 00:31:32.340
 I mean, how

00:31:32.340 --> 00:31:32.740
 many people

00:31:32.740 --> 00:31:33.259
 working in

00:31:33.259 --> 00:31:33.880
 restaurants could

00:31:33.880 --> 00:31:34.420
 go to church

00:31:34.420 --> 00:31:34.940
 on a Sunday?

00:31:37.820 --> 00:31:38.640
 Who reach out

00:31:38.640 --> 00:31:39.000
 to them?

00:31:41.460 --> 00:31:42.060
 Pray for

00:31:42.060 --> 00:31:42.280
 them.

00:31:44.900 --> 00:31:46.100
 Lastly, so

00:31:46.100 --> 00:31:47.320
 God's kingdom

00:31:47.320 --> 00:31:47.800
 is coming.

00:31:47.940 --> 00:31:48.360
 Be filled with

00:31:48.360 --> 00:31:48.940
 God's compassion.

00:31:49.460 --> 00:31:49.740
 Pray.

00:31:50.259 --> 00:31:51.180
 And lastly, pray

00:31:51.180 --> 00:31:52.140
 that the Lord of

00:31:52.140 --> 00:31:53.160
 the harvest will

00:31:53.160 --> 00:31:54.160
 send out workers.

00:31:54.160 --> 00:31:54.279
 workers.

00:31:55.540 --> 00:31:55.779
 Okay?

00:31:55.920 --> 00:31:56.980
 This is not an

00:31:56.980 --> 00:31:58.400
 imprimatur to

00:31:58.400 --> 00:31:59.180
 think of the

00:31:59.180 --> 00:31:59.680
 person you

00:31:59.680 --> 00:32:00.440
 dislike the

00:32:00.440 --> 00:32:01.420
 most and say,

00:32:01.600 --> 00:32:03.620
 God sent him

00:32:03.620 --> 00:32:04.080
 out to

00:32:04.080 --> 00:32:04.540
 Afghanistan.

00:32:07.320 --> 00:32:07.759
 Okay?

00:32:08.720 --> 00:32:09.540
 It's not, you

00:32:09.540 --> 00:32:10.480
 know, pray that

00:32:10.480 --> 00:32:11.480
 God will send out

00:32:11.480 --> 00:32:11.580
 workers.

00:32:11.700 --> 00:32:12.380
 I mean, God has

00:32:12.380 --> 00:32:13.019
 already sent out

00:32:13.019 --> 00:32:13.340
 workers.

00:32:13.720 --> 00:32:14.140
 Look at all

00:32:14.140 --> 00:32:14.840
 these columns.

00:32:16.440 --> 00:32:17.200
 God has sent

00:32:17.200 --> 00:32:17.759
 out people.

00:32:18.720 --> 00:32:19.320
 Pray for them.

00:32:19.319 --> 00:32:22.919
 Not just pray for

00:32:22.919 --> 00:32:23.179
 them.

00:32:23.679 --> 00:32:24.220
 It's a whole

00:32:24.220 --> 00:32:25.679
 world that

00:32:25.679 --> 00:32:26.980
 still does not

00:32:26.980 --> 00:32:27.579
 know Jesus.

00:32:27.839 --> 00:32:28.460
 Pray that God

00:32:28.460 --> 00:32:29.279
 will send out

00:32:29.279 --> 00:32:29.899
 workers, not

00:32:29.899 --> 00:32:30.480
 just from out

00:32:30.480 --> 00:32:31.079
 there somewhere.

00:32:31.579 --> 00:32:32.000
 Pray that he

00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:32.639
 might send out

00:32:32.639 --> 00:32:33.819
 workers from

00:32:33.819 --> 00:32:34.740
 in here.

00:32:38.619 --> 00:32:39.279
 But it could

00:32:39.279 --> 00:32:39.639
 be you.

00:32:41.000 --> 00:32:41.419
 How about

00:32:41.419 --> 00:32:41.659
 that?

00:32:42.740 --> 00:32:43.639
 So when you

00:32:43.639 --> 00:32:44.700
 pray and God

00:32:44.700 --> 00:32:45.299
 answers your

00:32:45.299 --> 00:32:46.500
 prayer, be

00:32:46.500 --> 00:32:47.379
 prepared to go

00:32:47.379 --> 00:32:48.079
 as well too.

00:32:48.399 --> 00:32:48.939
 We'll come to

00:32:48.939 --> 00:32:49.179
 that.

00:32:49.319 --> 00:32:49.980
 in a few

00:32:49.980 --> 00:32:50.599
 weeks' time.

00:32:51.159 --> 00:32:51.939
 But for the

00:32:51.939 --> 00:32:53.139
 moment, God's

00:32:53.139 --> 00:32:53.500
 kingdom is

00:32:53.500 --> 00:32:53.759
 coming.

00:32:53.939 --> 00:32:54.339
 Be filled with

00:32:54.339 --> 00:32:54.879
 God's compassion.

00:32:55.059 --> 00:32:55.319
 Pray.

00:32:55.759 --> 00:32:56.720
 And finally, pray

00:32:56.720 --> 00:32:57.179
 that God will

00:32:57.179 --> 00:32:57.480
 send.

00:32:58.599 --> 00:32:59.139
 Shall we

00:32:59.139 --> 00:32:59.319
 pray?

00:33:02.439 --> 00:33:02.879
 Gracious

00:33:02.879 --> 00:33:03.200
 God and

00:33:03.200 --> 00:33:03.859
 Father, we

00:33:03.859 --> 00:33:04.599
 thank you that

00:33:04.599 --> 00:33:07.700
 as you see

00:33:07.700 --> 00:33:08.460
 our needs, as

00:33:08.460 --> 00:33:09.939
 you saw our

00:33:09.939 --> 00:33:11.639
 needs, you

00:33:11.639 --> 00:33:12.500
 did not remain

00:33:12.500 --> 00:33:13.859
 unmoved, but

00:33:13.859 --> 00:33:14.399
 you sent your

00:33:14.399 --> 00:33:14.899
 Son, our

00:33:14.899 --> 00:33:15.319
 Lord Jesus

00:33:15.319 --> 00:33:15.839
 Christ, to

00:33:15.839 --> 00:33:16.359
 come into the

00:33:16.359 --> 00:33:17.480
 world to deal

00:33:17.480 --> 00:33:18.099
 with our sin

00:33:18.099 --> 00:33:18.619
 and suffering.

00:33:18.619 --> 00:33:19.819
 Thank you

00:33:19.819 --> 00:33:20.119
 that you

00:33:20.119 --> 00:33:21.219
 have promised

00:33:21.219 --> 00:33:22.039
 that you

00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:22.679
 bring an

00:33:22.679 --> 00:33:23.439
 end to

00:33:23.439 --> 00:33:25.059
 evil and

00:33:25.059 --> 00:33:25.639
 death and

00:33:25.639 --> 00:33:26.119
 sickness in

00:33:26.119 --> 00:33:26.539
 the world.

00:33:27.939 --> 00:33:28.579
 And we

00:33:28.579 --> 00:33:29.199
 pray, Father,

00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:29.959
 that Lord Jesus

00:33:29.959 --> 00:33:30.539
 will come

00:33:30.539 --> 00:33:31.059
 soon.

00:33:31.239 --> 00:33:31.479
 And we

00:33:31.479 --> 00:33:33.079
 pray in the

00:33:33.079 --> 00:33:33.939
 meantime that

00:33:33.939 --> 00:33:34.699
 you will, in

00:33:34.699 --> 00:33:35.139
 your great

00:33:35.139 --> 00:33:36.039
 mercy, continue

00:33:36.039 --> 00:33:36.459
 to send

00:33:36.459 --> 00:33:37.219
 people out

00:33:37.219 --> 00:33:39.299
 into Chesford,

00:33:39.439 --> 00:33:40.079
 into Sydney,

00:33:40.239 --> 00:33:40.859
 into Australia,

00:33:41.000 --> 00:33:41.379
 into the

00:33:41.379 --> 00:33:41.779
 world.

00:33:42.339 --> 00:33:43.079
 It is a

00:33:43.079 --> 00:33:43.659
 world that is

00:33:43.659 --> 00:33:44.619
 desperately lost

00:33:44.619 --> 00:33:45.359
 without you.

00:33:46.679 --> 00:33:47.199
 Break our

00:33:47.199 --> 00:33:47.759
 heart, we

00:33:47.759 --> 00:33:48.239
 pray, Father

00:33:48.239 --> 00:33:48.659
 God.

00:33:48.899 --> 00:33:49.419
 Help us to

00:33:49.419 --> 00:33:49.899
 see those

00:33:49.899 --> 00:33:50.579
 needs as you

00:33:50.579 --> 00:33:50.839
 do.

00:33:51.419 --> 00:33:52.079
 Help us to

00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:53.339
 react emotionally

00:33:53.339 --> 00:33:53.919
 the way that

00:33:53.919 --> 00:33:54.339
 you do.

00:33:55.519 --> 00:33:56.339
 We pray not

00:33:56.339 --> 00:33:56.899
 only that you

00:33:56.899 --> 00:33:57.439
 will send

00:33:57.439 --> 00:33:59.079
 people out,

00:33:59.159 --> 00:33:59.599
 that you will

00:33:59.599 --> 00:34:00.679
 send us out,

00:34:01.419 --> 00:34:01.899
 that we will

00:34:01.899 --> 00:34:02.399
 meet those

00:34:02.399 --> 00:34:03.379
 needs, that we

00:34:03.379 --> 00:34:03.859
 will proclaim

00:34:03.859 --> 00:34:04.279
 the kingdom.

00:34:04.819 --> 00:34:05.339
 And we pray,

00:34:05.479 --> 00:34:05.899
 Father, that

00:34:05.899 --> 00:34:06.579
 through this,

00:34:06.919 --> 00:34:07.399
 that you might

00:34:07.399 --> 00:34:08.000
 save many.

00:34:08.539 --> 00:34:09.019
 And we pray

00:34:09.019 --> 00:34:09.739
 this in Jesus'

00:34:09.739 --> 00:34:10.079
 name.

00:34:10.480 --> 00:34:10.699
 Amen.
