00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.100
 Let me pray for David and for us, and then I'll hand over to David, who's going to take us through our talk tonight.

00:00:06.219 --> 00:00:15.220
 Heavenly Father, we thank you now for the opportunity that we have to look at your word together, to consider what it is that you're calling us to as a church.

00:00:15.740 --> 00:00:21.039
 We pray that you'd help David help all of us as we listen. In Jesus name. Amen.

00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:22.879
 David, over to you.

00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:25.719
 Thanks, Dave.

00:00:25.719 --> 00:00:32.200
 Cool. So we're continuing to go through the church values, and this is the final one.

00:00:33.019 --> 00:00:37.920
 It's in some ways a continuation of where we were last week.

00:00:38.219 --> 00:00:45.320
 So as is our habit, let's go through our church values and see if we can name them all.

00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:47.679
 Go.

00:00:49.739 --> 00:00:50.599
 Kingdomly minded.

00:00:51.239 --> 00:00:55.259
 Kingdom minded. Okay, very good. Kingdomly minded. That's today.

00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:57.019
 So let's do the other ones.

00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:01.560
 Locally rooted. We're going in reverse order. I like this. Can we keep going?

00:01:02.060 --> 00:01:02.740
 Locally rooted.

00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:06.039
 Servantly led.

00:01:10.539 --> 00:01:11.239
 Gospely centered.

00:01:13.819 --> 00:01:14.560
 Two left.

00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:17.079
 Prayerfully dependent.

00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:21.659
 Servantly led. Servant leadership.

00:01:21.859 --> 00:01:22.120
 Was that that?

00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:22.959
 Just one more.

00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:26.299
 Lovingly diverse.

00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:27.719
 Yes, very good.

00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:28.259
 Well done.

00:01:29.219 --> 00:01:29.920
 Good stuff.

00:01:32.859 --> 00:01:46.439
 So we are going to talk about kingdom mindedness today, which in a sense, I've framed as sort of part two of last week, which is the locally rooted.

00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:53.759
 Right. So looking at ourselves as a local church in a specific area at a specific time.

00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:57.280
 Serving this this part of the world.

00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:02.039
 Right. So but then there's this idea of kingdom mindedness.

00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:06.400
 And so what what does it mean to be kingdom minded?

00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:09.120
 Broad question.

00:02:11.040 --> 00:02:19.439
 But it's an interesting one in the sense that there's probably a lot of things that go under that that you might say, oh, well, it means this or that.

00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:22.340
 Right. But one thing.

00:02:22.340 --> 00:02:28.939
 And we prayed it in our group and many others probably played it in your groups and probably otherwise.

00:02:28.939 --> 00:02:34.079
 But we pray for revival in our city, in our area.

00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:45.219
 Right. We recognize that the majority of our neighbors and colleagues and friends and people that live in the city don't follow and worship Jesus.

00:02:45.219 --> 00:02:54.759
 And so we pray that they would and that our church would have an impact and be able to connect with those who live near us or that we might come into contact with.

00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:56.199
 We we do that. That's normal.

00:02:56.199 --> 00:03:10.039
 And so one way to think about kingdom mindedness is to play that forward and say, OK, Lord, if if you answer that prayer, if you do send revival to northwest London.

00:03:10.819 --> 00:03:14.000
 But he does it primarily through another church.

00:03:14.899 --> 00:03:17.780
 And that church grows and has a major impact.

00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:20.979
 And our church feels like it stays the same.

00:03:21.579 --> 00:03:24.000
 How do we how do we feel about that?

00:03:24.419 --> 00:03:24.699
 Right.

00:03:24.699 --> 00:03:30.399
 Do we want thy kingdom to come or do we want our kingdom to come?

00:03:30.859 --> 00:03:35.439
 Right. And so kingdom mindedness is really it's.

00:03:36.859 --> 00:03:53.319
 Taking a zoomed out kingdom level view of what God is doing and allowing us to have a bigger picture than simply what Wes Kilburn is doing or what we are involved in or things that get attached to to all of us.

00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:54.359
 Right. And so.

00:03:54.699 --> 00:04:03.939
 It's it's looking beyond with with kind of God level imagination at what he might be doing in the world and in our area.

00:04:03.939 --> 00:04:33.939
 That doesn't necessarily.

00:04:33.939 --> 00:04:34.939
 In Acts one.

00:04:34.939 --> 00:04:35.240
 In Acts one.

00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:39.579
 We'll turn to Acts in a minute.

00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:41.019
 You don't necessarily need to go to one.

00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:41.779
 Go to 13.

00:04:42.339 --> 00:04:43.120
 We'll start there.

00:04:43.219 --> 00:04:51.759
 But in Acts one, when Jesus ascends and the believers, the people who are following Jesus gather in a room.

00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:55.659
 It says that there was 120 of them at the time.

00:04:55.659 --> 00:04:56.259
 Right.

00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:01.319
 A couple of weeks ago, I think I did the count and there's about 120 people in this room.

00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:02.180
 Right.

00:05:02.180 --> 00:05:04.939
 On a Sunday morning, not on a Sunday evening yet.

00:05:05.500 --> 00:05:11.220
 But the idea is that within two generations of that moment.

00:05:11.220 --> 00:05:25.220
 The church was cross continents was like on an ascendancy at a level that was would have been unbelievable to those 120 people.

00:05:25.460 --> 00:05:26.000
 Right.

00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:32.079
 And so it's not that small is incapable of doing anything.

00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:35.800
 Obviously, God is in control and he's moving those things.

00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:38.680
 And so I just just framing it.

00:05:38.779 --> 00:05:45.459
 That is a pretty interesting spot to say there was 120 at one point and it made a worldwide difference.

00:05:45.459 --> 00:05:53.259
 And so there's no reason that kingdom impact doesn't come from a small group of people in a small in a specific place.

00:05:53.379 --> 00:05:56.359
 They were in a room in Jerusalem.

00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:59.719
 So turn to Acts 13 and we'll start there.

00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:05.899
 It'll be a continuation of what we talked about last week, looking at the church in Antioch.

00:06:05.899 --> 00:06:22.319
 So last week we talked about how there was this one church that after Stephen's stoning, the church was persecuted, obviously, and spread out of fear.

00:06:23.099 --> 00:06:24.359
 And so they ended up in different places.

00:06:24.459 --> 00:06:26.299
 One of those places was in Antioch.

00:06:26.299 --> 00:06:33.839
 And in Antioch, the people there, the believers there started preaching and teaching non-Jews.

00:06:34.479 --> 00:06:35.759
 And that was a new thing.

00:06:36.459 --> 00:06:43.519
 And it was the first place where people who followed Jesus were called Christians, little Christs.

00:06:44.139 --> 00:06:47.120
 And so there was this really interesting thing.

00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:58.079
 And then they sent the church in Jerusalem, sent some people to see, Barnabas, to see if what they were doing there was on the up and up and made sense.

00:06:58.259 --> 00:06:59.879
 And he comes back with a great report.

00:07:00.579 --> 00:07:03.879
 And so what we see in Acts 13 is the continuation of that.

00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:06.759
 And it says, we can read it there.

00:07:06.860 --> 00:07:10.339
 We'll actually start, why not, at the end of 12.

00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:14.620
 The way they cut it off on this one is funky, but you can see 12.25.

00:07:14.620 --> 00:07:14.920
 It says,

00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:20.960
 When Barnabas and Paul had finished their mission, they returned from Jerusalem, taking with them John, also called Mark.

00:07:21.540 --> 00:07:25.220
 Now, in the church at Antioch, there were prophets and teachers.

00:07:25.980 --> 00:07:32.879
 Barnabas, Simeon, called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manan, who had been brought up with Herod the Tetrarch, and Saul.

00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:37.379
 And while they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said,

00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:43.540
 Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.

00:07:43.980 --> 00:07:48.379
 And so after they fasted and prayed, they placed their hands on them and sent them off.

00:07:48.379 --> 00:07:52.920
 And so we see the church in Antioch, right?

00:07:53.040 --> 00:08:05.199
 There's kind of these five men who are named as sort of their prophets and teachers.

00:08:05.259 --> 00:08:07.480
 So the leaders that are there, there's five of them.

00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:09.860
 They're all from various different backgrounds.

00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:12.839
 That's a whole other sermon or talk.

00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:22.259
 But what we want to look at is what they do when it says that God called them to set apart Barnabas and Saul for the work that I have, right?

00:08:22.599 --> 00:08:27.239
 God called them to send Paul and Barnabas.

00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:32.679
 And Paul and Barnabas, obviously, we know who Paul is and we know what he would go on to do.

00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:39.620
 Earlier in Acts, it talks about Barnabas and tells us a little bit about him.

00:08:39.620 --> 00:08:44.440
 And he's framed with some really high praise.

00:08:48.580 --> 00:08:56.919
 He sells a farm in Cyprus to give to the church.

00:08:57.840 --> 00:08:59.440
 And what did it say?

00:08:59.500 --> 00:08:59.980
 Barnabas.

00:09:01.259 --> 00:09:01.919
 What did I do?

00:09:02.259 --> 00:09:04.820
 I can't find the...

00:09:04.820 --> 00:09:05.539
 Indephor, yeah.

00:09:07.700 --> 00:09:08.139
 Yes.

00:09:08.139 --> 00:09:10.580
 Which means son of encouragement.

00:09:11.319 --> 00:09:14.600
 And he sold the field he owned and brought the money and put it at the apostles' feet, right?

00:09:17.139 --> 00:09:17.819
 Barnabas, right?

00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:18.939
 Son of encouragement, right?

00:09:19.699 --> 00:09:21.519
 What an amazing thing to be called.

00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:23.419
 If that...

00:09:23.419 --> 00:09:26.259
 Not only, you know, they go, he's an encouraging guy.

00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:30.000
 They actually give you a nickname to be son of encouragement.

00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:31.039
 It's pretty good, right?

00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:39.959
 And so the point that I'm trying to make here is that Paul and Barnabas are two of the best leaders at this church.

00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:44.039
 Two of the ones that they look at and they say, these guys are the best, right?

00:09:44.719 --> 00:09:49.939
 Jerusalem, they are sending Barnabas around to go check, right?

00:09:49.940 --> 00:09:51.140
 So they trust him.

00:09:51.840 --> 00:10:02.480
 And so when God calls Paul and Barnabas, there would have been a understood reaction that the church says, not those guys.

00:10:02.920 --> 00:10:04.240
 They're some of our favorites.

00:10:04.740 --> 00:10:05.920
 They're some of our best guys.

00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:18.539
 And so what we see them do, though, is that they start by fasting and praying to consider God's call and not what their own wishes would be, right?

00:10:18.899 --> 00:10:20.839
 They look at it and they say, you know what?

00:10:20.939 --> 00:10:21.879
 We love Paul.

00:10:22.019 --> 00:10:23.139
 We love Barnabas.

00:10:23.319 --> 00:10:24.639
 We wish they would stay with us.

00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:29.159
 But God, if you're calling them to something else, it's your decision, not ours.

00:10:29.599 --> 00:10:33.120
 And so they fast and they pray and they say, God, is this what you're doing?

00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:44.620
 And when God confirms it, it moves them to the next thing, which is they lay their hands on them, commissioning them and send them out and say, go and do what God is calling you to do.

00:10:45.179 --> 00:10:45.379
 Right?

00:10:45.419 --> 00:10:54.620
 So we see these two things and it shows us that being kingdom minded necessarily means sending our best out.

00:10:56.019 --> 00:10:57.220
 There's no way around it.

00:10:57.220 --> 00:11:02.019
 The Great Commission we talked about last week says, go and make disciples.

00:11:02.019 --> 00:11:05.620
 Well, what do we know about discipleship?

00:11:05.779 --> 00:11:07.360
 What is discipleship?

00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:11.000
 Well, it arguably is leadership development.

00:11:11.539 --> 00:11:11.639
 Right?

00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:22.819
 You're growing someone to know and love Jesus such that they can then become a disciple maker themselves, leading others to know and love Jesus.

00:11:22.820 --> 00:11:23.260
 Right?

00:11:23.379 --> 00:11:34.879
 And so the necessary end of that, if you play that forward, is there's not enough leadership seats at any one church for all of the people to be involved in.

00:11:34.940 --> 00:11:35.060
 Right?

00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:36.580
 So they've got to go somewhere else.

00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:39.379
 There's no way to keep them all in one place.

00:11:39.379 --> 00:11:45.840
 And God, that in his intention, this is his design, is that the church grows new disciples.

00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:51.039
 They grow them up into leaders and then they get sent out into the world to do it again.

00:11:51.539 --> 00:11:52.019
 Right?

00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:58.000
 This is how the church grew from that 120 number to being all over the known world.

00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:05.799
 And so there's three things that I would say that we have to do in order for this to become true.

00:12:06.179 --> 00:12:09.559
 So that one, we have to look at our members and look at each other.

00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:12.879
 And I would say, you know, this group, the group that gathers on Sunday night.

00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:13.139
 Right?

00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:18.279
 A lot of us are the ones who are effectively leading here.

00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:22.419
 And so we have to look at those around us.

00:12:22.500 --> 00:12:26.519
 We have to challenge our fellow members to grow into leaders.

00:12:26.740 --> 00:12:26.839
 Right?

00:12:26.939 --> 00:12:30.480
 To look and understand the scripture better.

00:12:30.779 --> 00:12:32.799
 To live it out more fully.

00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:36.019
 To lean in and become leaders in the church.

00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:41.839
 And then we have to empower those members to have access to leadership capacity.

00:12:41.839 --> 00:12:42.100
 Right?

00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:46.659
 So we have to give people things to do and little ministries to help guide.

00:12:46.659 --> 00:12:50.399
 And small groups to lead and those things.

00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:53.279
 And so they can flex those muscles and figure out how it goes.

00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:56.699
 And then we have to then be courageous enough to send them out.

00:12:57.339 --> 00:12:57.519
 Right?

00:12:57.579 --> 00:13:02.879
 Once they've become key members of this body, we have to then be able to say,

00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:05.860
 Okay, God, do what you will and send them.

00:13:06.059 --> 00:13:06.219
 Right?

00:13:06.819 --> 00:13:10.779
 And so this is the core part of how the church is built.

00:13:10.899 --> 00:13:14.139
 And so if we're going to be the church that God has called us to be,

00:13:14.139 --> 00:13:20.620
 we have to understand that this is our task and this is the necessary consequence of that task.

00:13:20.620 --> 00:13:27.019
 Is that some of the people that we love and that we have grown to enjoy are not going to be with us anymore.

00:13:27.019 --> 00:13:33.620
 Because God is going to use them in an even greater way to do that again in some other place.

00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:40.240
 And so success in church looks like disciples growing up and leaving.

00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:40.720
 Right?

00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:48.379
 Like if we wrap our heads around that, that success in church means that most of us are going to be somewhere else at some point in time.

00:13:48.379 --> 00:13:50.860
 Because God is using us in doing that.

00:13:51.100 --> 00:13:51.240
 Right?

00:13:51.299 --> 00:13:56.460
 If we're all still sitting here 10, 20, 30 years from now, we've done something a little bit wrong.

00:13:57.500 --> 00:13:57.940
 Right?

00:13:58.419 --> 00:13:59.600
 That's the truth.

00:13:59.940 --> 00:14:02.940
 And it's like we've got someone, this has to look different.

00:14:03.139 --> 00:14:05.399
 Because we've got to have gone and done something else.

00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:08.159
 So that's point one.

00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:08.659
 Right?

00:14:08.740 --> 00:14:12.079
 We've got to look at kingdom-minded means sending our best.

00:14:12.419 --> 00:14:17.059
 So before we move on to point two, I want you to discuss quickly,

00:14:17.799 --> 00:14:22.019
 what are some implications for us as a church in light of this truth?

00:14:22.579 --> 00:14:22.840
 Right?

00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:30.259
 If success looks like disciples going out, if we are called to make disciples and to give them opportunities to lead,

00:14:30.259 --> 00:14:33.360
 if it means sending our best, what does that mean for us as a church?

00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:36.080
 A couple of minutes to talk about that amongst yourselves.

00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:40.460
 All right.

00:14:41.419 --> 00:14:43.580
 What are some of those implications?

00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:45.340
 What are some of the things you talked about?

00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:49.120
 What does it mean for West Kilburn if this is true?

00:14:53.080 --> 00:14:54.180
 You've got to be like Jesus.

00:14:54.500 --> 00:14:55.159
 In what way?

00:14:55.839 --> 00:15:02.679
 If you want to go out, you've got to be able to hear the difference between what the flesh is saying,

00:15:02.679 --> 00:15:04.620
 the enemy might throw at you

00:15:04.620 --> 00:15:06.759
 even more than any people might throw at you

00:15:06.759 --> 00:15:09.000
 and then what the Holy Spirit's telling you to do in this situation

00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:11.559
 so Jesus said I do as I hear my father

00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:13.039
 do as I hear my father

00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:15.099
 so you have to be connected

00:15:15.099 --> 00:15:15.939
 with Jesus

00:15:15.939 --> 00:15:18.459
 with God and the same way Jesus is

00:15:18.459 --> 00:15:20.339
 yeah so

00:15:20.339 --> 00:15:23.199
 it leads into the discipleship

00:15:23.199 --> 00:15:25.019
 to growing in knowledge and faith

00:15:25.019 --> 00:15:26.359
 and trust in Jesus

00:15:26.359 --> 00:15:28.799
 and if we are doing that

00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:30.699
 and we're encouraging others to do that

00:15:30.699 --> 00:15:31.359
 then we'll have

00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:35.320
 a good working knowledge of what he's up to

00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:36.300
 what else

00:15:36.300 --> 00:15:42.940
 it might have a commitment

00:15:42.940 --> 00:15:44.399
 to praying and fasting

00:15:44.399 --> 00:15:46.840
 and leaning on the Lord

00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:49.180
 but it's not just

00:15:49.180 --> 00:15:51.259
 it's not just a mathematical

00:15:51.259 --> 00:15:52.000
 process

00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:54.159
 we've got five years at 17

00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:56.440
 it's a

00:15:56.440 --> 00:15:59.019
 a fruitful engagement

00:15:59.019 --> 00:15:59.620
 with the Lord

00:15:59.620 --> 00:16:01.279
 yeah it's not

00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:02.080
 it's not just

00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:04.299
 you know

00:16:04.299 --> 00:16:05.080
 spray

00:16:05.080 --> 00:16:07.080
 send people out

00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:07.860
 kind of

00:16:07.860 --> 00:16:09.120
 indiscriminately

00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:10.940
 but there is a

00:16:10.940 --> 00:16:11.480
 prayerful

00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:12.500
 and a

00:16:12.500 --> 00:16:13.419
 thoughtful

00:16:13.419 --> 00:16:14.480
 intentionale

00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:15.980
 way of doing that

00:16:15.980 --> 00:16:18.560
 anything else

00:16:18.560 --> 00:16:22.240
 no

00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:23.460
 one thing

00:16:23.460 --> 00:16:24.100
 we thought

00:16:24.100 --> 00:16:24.879
 do you have one

00:16:24.879 --> 00:16:25.060
 Lola

00:16:25.060 --> 00:16:32.800
 that's right

00:16:32.800 --> 00:16:43.920
 yeah

00:16:43.920 --> 00:16:44.420
 absolutely

00:16:44.420 --> 00:16:47.379
 one thing I thought of

00:16:47.379 --> 00:16:47.980
 no absolutely

00:16:47.980 --> 00:16:49.940
 that it's not just global

00:16:49.940 --> 00:16:51.100
 that it's

00:16:51.100 --> 00:16:52.200
 could be local

00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:52.860
 could be

00:16:52.860 --> 00:16:54.300
 anything in between

00:16:54.300 --> 00:16:55.140
 right

00:16:55.140 --> 00:16:55.860
 could be down the street

00:16:55.860 --> 00:16:57.160
 and anything all the way to

00:16:57.160 --> 00:16:58.320
 Kazakhstan

00:16:58.320 --> 00:17:01.540
 one thing I was thinking about

00:17:01.540 --> 00:17:01.820
 if

00:17:01.820 --> 00:17:02.400
 if

00:17:02.400 --> 00:17:03.660
 if we

00:17:03.660 --> 00:17:05.480
 believe our

00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:07.240
 servantly led

00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:08.100
 kind of every member

00:17:08.100 --> 00:17:08.539
 ministry

00:17:08.539 --> 00:17:10.140
 value

00:17:10.140 --> 00:17:11.160
 and we lean into

00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:11.440
 that

00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:11.980
 that means

00:17:11.980 --> 00:17:13.420
 all of us

00:17:13.420 --> 00:17:14.080
 are prepared

00:17:14.080 --> 00:17:15.180
 and God could call

00:17:15.180 --> 00:17:15.980
 any one of us

00:17:15.980 --> 00:17:17.080
 to do something

00:17:17.080 --> 00:17:18.600
 and move us

00:17:18.600 --> 00:17:19.480
 to another place

00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:20.040
 and so

00:17:20.040 --> 00:17:21.900
 while

00:17:21.900 --> 00:17:23.160
 we see

00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:24.580
 Paul and Barnabas

00:17:24.580 --> 00:17:25.500
 were ones called out

00:17:25.500 --> 00:17:26.120
 at this moment

00:17:26.120 --> 00:17:27.780
 we know

00:17:27.780 --> 00:17:28.460
 from history

00:17:28.460 --> 00:17:29.280
 that many others

00:17:29.280 --> 00:17:30.060
 from the church

00:17:30.060 --> 00:17:30.620
 in Antioch

00:17:30.620 --> 00:17:31.060
 were called

00:17:31.060 --> 00:17:32.060
 to go different places

00:17:32.060 --> 00:17:33.660
 at different times

00:17:33.660 --> 00:17:34.540
 and so

00:17:34.540 --> 00:17:36.460
 these things

00:17:36.460 --> 00:17:37.140
 work together

00:17:37.140 --> 00:17:37.520
 right

00:17:37.520 --> 00:17:37.860
 we're

00:17:37.859 --> 00:17:38.859
 growing

00:17:38.859 --> 00:17:40.399
 the church

00:17:40.399 --> 00:17:42.099
 not just for our own good

00:17:42.099 --> 00:17:43.639
 but for the kingdom good

00:17:43.639 --> 00:17:44.939
 great

00:17:44.939 --> 00:17:46.699
 so let's look back again

00:17:46.699 --> 00:17:46.979
 at

00:17:46.979 --> 00:17:48.059
 this church

00:17:48.059 --> 00:17:48.719
 in Acts

00:17:48.719 --> 00:17:49.459
 so

00:17:49.459 --> 00:17:51.819
 after they had fasted

00:17:51.819 --> 00:17:52.259
 and prayed

00:17:52.259 --> 00:17:53.919
 they placed their hands on them

00:17:53.919 --> 00:17:55.039
 and they sent them off

00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:56.579
 and then the two of them

00:17:56.579 --> 00:17:57.299
 sent on their way

00:17:57.299 --> 00:17:58.039
 by the Holy Spirit

00:17:58.039 --> 00:17:58.879
 they went

00:17:58.879 --> 00:17:59.879
 to Cyprus

00:17:59.879 --> 00:18:01.379
 and then after they had been

00:18:01.379 --> 00:18:02.419
 in Cyprus for a while

00:18:02.419 --> 00:18:02.699
 they

00:18:02.699 --> 00:18:03.859
 left there

00:18:03.859 --> 00:18:04.219
 and went

00:18:04.219 --> 00:18:05.779
 from Paphos

00:18:05.779 --> 00:18:06.599
 up to

00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:07.139
 Perga

00:18:07.140 --> 00:18:07.860
 and Pamphylia

00:18:07.860 --> 00:18:09.120
 and then ended up

00:18:09.120 --> 00:18:10.220
 in a place called

00:18:10.220 --> 00:18:11.480
 Antioch also

00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:12.700
 but in a different area

00:18:12.700 --> 00:18:13.540
 of the world

00:18:13.540 --> 00:18:14.420
 called Pisidia

00:18:14.420 --> 00:18:15.280
 which is

00:18:15.280 --> 00:18:16.360
 kind of like

00:18:16.360 --> 00:18:18.000
 more western side

00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:18.440
 of Turkey

00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:19.500
 more central Turkey

00:18:19.500 --> 00:18:20.320
 whereas Antioch

00:18:20.320 --> 00:18:21.860
 is very eastern

00:18:21.860 --> 00:18:22.540
 side of Turkey

00:18:22.540 --> 00:18:23.300
 anyway

00:18:23.300 --> 00:18:24.660
 and so then

00:18:24.660 --> 00:18:25.400
 they went from

00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:26.860
 Pisidian Antioch

00:18:26.860 --> 00:18:29.000
 to Iconium

00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:30.480
 and in Lystra

00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:30.920
 and Derbe

00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:31.380
 so I'm moving

00:18:31.380 --> 00:18:31.820
 really quickly

00:18:31.820 --> 00:18:32.500
 this is

00:18:32.500 --> 00:18:33.700
 chapter 14

00:18:33.700 --> 00:18:35.519
 and then they end up

00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:36.440
 back in

00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:37.980
 the city of Antioch

00:18:37.980 --> 00:18:38.860
 later on

00:18:38.860 --> 00:18:42.779
 Acts 14

00:18:42.779 --> 00:18:43.200
 23

00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:44.120
 let me read that one

00:18:44.120 --> 00:18:45.440
 so if you can find that

00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:46.140
 that's at the bottom

00:18:46.140 --> 00:18:47.920
 corner of 1109

00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:48.980
 it said

00:18:48.980 --> 00:18:49.880
 Paul and Barnabas

00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:51.039
 appointed elders

00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:52.259
 for them

00:18:52.259 --> 00:18:53.240
 in each church

00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:54.920
 and with prayer

00:18:54.920 --> 00:18:55.620
 and fasting

00:18:55.620 --> 00:18:56.319
 committed them

00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:56.880
 to the Lord

00:18:56.880 --> 00:18:57.360
 in whom

00:18:57.360 --> 00:18:57.819
 they had put

00:18:57.819 --> 00:18:58.380
 their trust

00:18:58.380 --> 00:19:00.480
 so Paul and Barnabas

00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:01.040
 go around

00:19:01.040 --> 00:19:02.840
 not just

00:19:02.840 --> 00:19:04.560
 preaching the gospel

00:19:04.560 --> 00:19:05.960
 not just

00:19:05.960 --> 00:19:08.100
 you know

00:19:08.100 --> 00:19:09.260
 standing in

00:19:09.260 --> 00:19:10.240
 synagogues

00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:10.880
 or what were

00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:11.520
 synagogues

00:19:11.520 --> 00:19:12.980
 and preaching the gospel

00:19:12.980 --> 00:19:13.580
 not just standing

00:19:13.580 --> 00:19:14.060
 on the

00:19:14.060 --> 00:19:14.460
 you know

00:19:14.460 --> 00:19:15.300
 the Hyde Park

00:19:15.300 --> 00:19:16.220
 corners of the world

00:19:16.220 --> 00:19:17.300
 preaching the gospel

00:19:17.300 --> 00:19:18.080
 but they're forming

00:19:18.080 --> 00:19:19.280
 little churches

00:19:19.280 --> 00:19:20.640
 and not only are they

00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:21.300
 forming churches

00:19:21.300 --> 00:19:22.700
 they're putting

00:19:22.700 --> 00:19:24.120
 leaders in charge

00:19:24.120 --> 00:19:24.700
 of these churches

00:19:24.700 --> 00:19:25.480
 so that they can

00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:26.120
 carry on

00:19:26.120 --> 00:19:26.920
 once they leave

00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:28.259
 and so

00:19:28.259 --> 00:19:29.700
 the second thing

00:19:29.700 --> 00:19:31.460
 in addition to this

00:19:31.460 --> 00:19:31.740
 I said

00:19:31.740 --> 00:19:32.420
 kingdom minded

00:19:32.420 --> 00:19:33.039
 means

00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:34.340
 praying for

00:19:34.340 --> 00:19:35.160
 supporting

00:19:35.160 --> 00:19:36.160
 and actively

00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:37.180
 revitalizing

00:19:37.180 --> 00:19:38.279
 or planting churches

00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:40.340
 the great commission

00:19:40.340 --> 00:19:41.560
 as we talked about

00:19:41.560 --> 00:19:41.860
 earlier

00:19:41.860 --> 00:19:42.779
 it continues

00:19:42.779 --> 00:19:43.820
 it says

00:19:43.820 --> 00:19:45.039
 go and make disciples

00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:45.960
 baptizing them

00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:49.340
 and discipling them

00:19:49.340 --> 00:19:49.539
 but

00:19:49.539 --> 00:19:50.620
 where

00:19:50.620 --> 00:19:51.820
 in Judea

00:19:51.820 --> 00:19:52.560
 and Samaria

00:19:52.560 --> 00:19:53.600
 and to the ends

00:19:53.600 --> 00:19:54.039
 of the earth

00:19:54.039 --> 00:19:54.460
 right

00:19:54.460 --> 00:19:54.740
 so

00:19:54.740 --> 00:19:55.960
 the idea is that

00:19:55.960 --> 00:19:57.539
 as you said

00:19:57.539 --> 00:19:57.840
 Lola

00:19:57.840 --> 00:19:58.940
 like locally

00:19:58.940 --> 00:20:00.559
 we have a call

00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:01.160
 to the kingdom

00:20:01.160 --> 00:20:02.319
 nationally

00:20:02.319 --> 00:20:03.539
 we have a call

00:20:03.539 --> 00:20:04.279
 to the kingdom

00:20:04.279 --> 00:20:05.700
 and internationally

00:20:05.700 --> 00:20:07.079
 we have a call

00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:07.819
 to the kingdom

00:20:07.819 --> 00:20:08.819
 there's

00:20:08.819 --> 00:20:11.120
 the church

00:20:11.120 --> 00:20:12.220
 is a thing

00:20:12.220 --> 00:20:13.220
 that's much bigger

00:20:13.220 --> 00:20:13.900
 than

00:20:13.900 --> 00:20:15.279
 our little piece

00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:15.759
 of the world

00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:16.519
 it's

00:20:16.519 --> 00:20:17.980
 no less than

00:20:17.980 --> 00:20:18.660
 our little piece

00:20:18.660 --> 00:20:19.100
 of the world

00:20:19.100 --> 00:20:19.680
 but it is

00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:20.880
 not just this

00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:21.600
 it's wide

00:20:21.600 --> 00:20:22.440
 and

00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:23.620
 in God's

00:20:23.620 --> 00:20:25.420
 way of doing

00:20:25.420 --> 00:20:26.880
 he connects

00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:27.680
 these things

00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:28.300
 in ways

00:20:28.300 --> 00:20:28.700
 that we could

00:20:28.700 --> 00:20:29.360
 never imagine

00:20:29.360 --> 00:20:30.420
 or predict

00:20:30.420 --> 00:20:31.160
 we were just

00:20:31.160 --> 00:20:31.759
 talking about

00:20:31.759 --> 00:20:32.740
 what's her name

00:20:32.740 --> 00:20:33.220
 in Serbia

00:20:33.220 --> 00:20:34.700
 Allison

00:20:34.700 --> 00:20:35.019
 right

00:20:35.019 --> 00:20:35.240
 so

00:20:35.240 --> 00:20:36.340
 church member

00:20:36.340 --> 00:20:36.840
 from here

00:20:36.840 --> 00:20:38.060
 living in

00:20:38.060 --> 00:20:39.080
 eastern Europe

00:20:39.080 --> 00:20:41.440
 doing the work

00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:42.500
 of the ministry

00:20:42.500 --> 00:20:42.900
 right

00:20:42.900 --> 00:20:43.779
 there's

00:20:43.779 --> 00:20:45.200
 countless

00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:46.600
 moments like that

00:20:46.600 --> 00:20:47.019
 and it's like

00:20:47.019 --> 00:20:47.600
 well what's the

00:20:47.600 --> 00:20:47.940
 connection

00:20:47.940 --> 00:20:48.700
 to that place

00:20:48.700 --> 00:20:49.220
 or this place

00:20:49.220 --> 00:20:49.940
 well God

00:20:49.940 --> 00:20:50.539
 is the connection

00:20:50.539 --> 00:20:50.860
 right

00:20:50.860 --> 00:20:51.320
 the gospel

00:20:51.320 --> 00:20:51.980
 is the connection

00:20:51.980 --> 00:20:53.140
 and so he moves

00:20:53.140 --> 00:20:54.039
 us in that way

00:20:54.039 --> 00:20:55.620
 and particularly

00:20:55.620 --> 00:20:56.680
 when we look at

00:20:56.680 --> 00:20:57.279
 local

00:20:57.279 --> 00:20:58.819
 kingdom mindedness

00:20:58.819 --> 00:21:01.079
 in some ways

00:21:01.079 --> 00:21:02.039
 globally

00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:02.740
 it's easier

00:21:02.740 --> 00:21:03.160
 to think

00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:03.940
 about how

00:21:03.940 --> 00:21:04.819
 we can think

00:21:04.819 --> 00:21:06.360
 like kingdomly

00:21:06.360 --> 00:21:06.860
 about

00:21:06.860 --> 00:21:08.259
 the church

00:21:08.259 --> 00:21:09.039
 across the world

00:21:09.039 --> 00:21:10.319
 but when you think

00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:11.339
 about the church

00:21:11.339 --> 00:21:12.259
 across the street

00:21:12.259 --> 00:21:14.180
 it's very easy

00:21:14.180 --> 00:21:14.799
 to become

00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:15.599
 like an us

00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:16.339
 versus them

00:21:16.339 --> 00:21:17.420
 to think

00:21:17.420 --> 00:21:18.480
 that their growth

00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:19.620
 necessarily means

00:21:19.619 --> 00:21:20.859
 our diminishing

00:21:20.859 --> 00:21:22.219
 or that

00:21:22.219 --> 00:21:23.579
 you know

00:21:23.579 --> 00:21:24.539
 our growth

00:21:24.539 --> 00:21:25.039
 might mean

00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:26.539
 their struggle

00:21:26.539 --> 00:21:27.279
 right

00:21:27.279 --> 00:21:27.799
 and so you get

00:21:27.799 --> 00:21:28.259
 this kind of

00:21:28.259 --> 00:21:28.939
 zero-sum

00:21:28.939 --> 00:21:29.779
 mentality

00:21:29.779 --> 00:21:30.519
 that can

00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:31.859
 come from

00:21:31.859 --> 00:21:32.559
 that

00:21:32.559 --> 00:21:33.599
 and so

00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:34.919
 it's not

00:21:34.919 --> 00:21:35.259
 right

00:21:35.259 --> 00:21:35.679
 it's not

00:21:35.679 --> 00:21:36.279
 an us versus

00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:36.539
 them

00:21:36.539 --> 00:21:36.939
 it's not

00:21:36.939 --> 00:21:37.539
 a zero-sum

00:21:37.539 --> 00:21:37.859
 game

00:21:37.859 --> 00:21:39.539
 if you

00:21:39.539 --> 00:21:41.719
 indulge me

00:21:41.719 --> 00:21:43.119
 to Corinthians

00:21:43.119 --> 00:21:45.039
 Paul

00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:46.539
 is talking

00:21:46.539 --> 00:21:47.119
 to the church

00:21:47.119 --> 00:21:47.639
 in Corinth

00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:48.780
 and he's

00:21:48.780 --> 00:21:49.300
 encouraging

00:21:49.300 --> 00:21:49.700
 them

00:21:49.700 --> 00:21:50.640
 to

00:21:50.640 --> 00:21:52.560
 support

00:21:52.560 --> 00:21:53.080
 one another

00:21:53.080 --> 00:21:55.380
 in the

00:21:55.380 --> 00:21:56.160
 verse 1

00:21:56.160 --> 00:21:56.820
 of chapter 8

00:21:56.820 --> 00:21:57.960
 this is on 1163

00:21:57.960 --> 00:21:59.080
 he says

00:21:59.080 --> 00:21:59.360
 and now

00:21:59.360 --> 00:21:59.860
 brothers and

00:21:59.860 --> 00:22:00.100
 sisters

00:22:00.100 --> 00:22:00.480
 I want you

00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:00.680
 to know

00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:01.000
 about the

00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:01.300
 grace

00:22:01.300 --> 00:22:01.680
 that God

00:22:01.680 --> 00:22:02.020
 has given

00:22:02.020 --> 00:22:02.800
 the Macedonian

00:22:02.800 --> 00:22:03.160
 churches

00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:03.480
 this

00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:04.840
 I think

00:22:04.840 --> 00:22:06.259
 Philippi

00:22:06.259 --> 00:22:06.800
 is one of

00:22:06.800 --> 00:22:07.000
 these

00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:07.380
 that he's

00:22:07.380 --> 00:22:07.860
 speaking of

00:22:07.860 --> 00:22:09.080
 in the midst

00:22:09.080 --> 00:22:09.380
 of their

00:22:09.380 --> 00:22:10.180
 severe trial

00:22:10.180 --> 00:22:10.420
 their

00:22:10.420 --> 00:22:11.280
 overflowing

00:22:11.280 --> 00:22:11.820
 joy

00:22:11.820 --> 00:22:12.700
 even in

00:22:12.700 --> 00:22:13.200
 their extreme

00:22:13.200 --> 00:22:14.000
 poverty

00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:14.920
 welled up

00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:15.440
 in rich

00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:16.160
 generosity

00:22:16.160 --> 00:22:17.080
 right

00:22:17.079 --> 00:22:17.419
 they gave

00:22:17.419 --> 00:22:17.759
 as much

00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:18.000
 as they

00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:18.339
 were able

00:22:18.339 --> 00:22:18.699
 and even

00:22:18.699 --> 00:22:19.179
 beyond

00:22:19.179 --> 00:22:20.159
 their ability

00:22:20.159 --> 00:22:20.759
 entirely

00:22:20.759 --> 00:22:21.240
 on their

00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:21.519
 own

00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:21.819
 right

00:22:21.819 --> 00:22:22.480
 so you

00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:23.039
 see this

00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:23.679
 dynamic

00:22:23.679 --> 00:22:24.659
 of churches

00:22:24.659 --> 00:22:25.240
 supporting

00:22:25.240 --> 00:22:25.799
 one another

00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:27.039
 in different

00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:27.460
 areas

00:22:27.460 --> 00:22:28.039
 but just

00:22:28.039 --> 00:22:28.859
 in general

00:22:28.859 --> 00:22:29.679
 that you've

00:22:29.679 --> 00:22:30.240
 got

00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:31.819
 churches

00:22:31.819 --> 00:22:33.139
 looking to

00:22:33.139 --> 00:22:33.480
 one another

00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:33.859
 saying

00:22:33.859 --> 00:22:34.319
 you know

00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:34.500
 what

00:22:34.500 --> 00:22:34.799
 like

00:22:34.799 --> 00:22:35.919
 your growth

00:22:35.919 --> 00:22:36.619
 your benefit

00:22:36.619 --> 00:22:37.460
 is ours

00:22:37.460 --> 00:22:38.099
 because we're

00:22:38.099 --> 00:22:38.579
 part of the

00:22:38.579 --> 00:22:39.079
 same kingdom

00:22:39.079 --> 00:22:39.519
 we're part

00:22:39.519 --> 00:22:39.759
 of the

00:22:39.759 --> 00:22:40.279
 same thing

00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:41.500
 and

00:22:41.500 --> 00:22:43.279
 so you've

00:22:43.279 --> 00:22:43.919
 got that

00:22:43.919 --> 00:22:44.659
 supporting one

00:22:44.659 --> 00:22:44.859
 another

00:22:44.859 --> 00:22:45.259
 if you flip

00:22:45.259 --> 00:22:46.559
 to chapter

00:22:46.559 --> 00:22:47.079
 nine

00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:48.439
 verses

00:22:48.439 --> 00:22:49.439
 six

00:22:49.439 --> 00:22:49.899
 to

00:22:49.899 --> 00:22:50.699
 fifteen

00:22:50.699 --> 00:22:51.179
 let me

00:22:51.179 --> 00:22:51.539
 read that

00:22:51.539 --> 00:22:51.879
 briefly

00:22:51.879 --> 00:22:53.399
 Paul again

00:22:53.399 --> 00:22:53.779
 he's saying

00:22:53.779 --> 00:22:54.319
 remember this

00:22:54.319 --> 00:22:55.199
 whoever sows

00:22:55.199 --> 00:22:56.119
 sparingly

00:22:56.119 --> 00:22:56.740
 will also

00:22:56.740 --> 00:22:57.159
 reap

00:22:57.159 --> 00:22:58.039
 sparingly

00:22:58.039 --> 00:22:58.479
 and whoever

00:22:58.479 --> 00:22:58.979
 sows

00:22:58.979 --> 00:22:59.699
 generously

00:22:59.699 --> 00:23:00.339
 will also

00:23:00.339 --> 00:23:00.679
 reap

00:23:00.679 --> 00:23:01.359
 generously

00:23:01.359 --> 00:23:02.679
 each of you

00:23:02.679 --> 00:23:03.219
 should give

00:23:03.219 --> 00:23:03.599
 what you

00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:04.619
 have decided

00:23:04.619 --> 00:23:04.959
 in your

00:23:04.959 --> 00:23:05.379
 heart to

00:23:05.379 --> 00:23:05.759
 give

00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:06.659
 not reluctantly

00:23:06.659 --> 00:23:07.240
 or under

00:23:07.240 --> 00:23:07.839
 compulsion

00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:08.799
 for God

00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:09.519
 loves a

00:23:09.519 --> 00:23:09.799
 cheerful

00:23:09.799 --> 00:23:10.179
 giver

00:23:10.179 --> 00:23:10.959
 and God

00:23:10.959 --> 00:23:11.279
 is able

00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:11.759
 to bless

00:23:11.759 --> 00:23:11.939
 you

00:23:11.939 --> 00:23:12.399
 abundantly

00:23:12.399 --> 00:23:12.799
 so that

00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:13.079
 in all

00:23:13.079 --> 00:23:13.359
 things

00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:15.339
 need

00:23:15.339 --> 00:23:16.059
 you will

00:23:16.059 --> 00:23:16.500
 abound

00:23:16.500 --> 00:23:16.920
 in every

00:23:16.920 --> 00:23:17.460
 good work

00:23:17.460 --> 00:23:18.059
 as it is

00:23:18.059 --> 00:23:18.259
 written

00:23:18.259 --> 00:23:18.779
 they have

00:23:18.779 --> 00:23:19.039
 freely

00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:19.539
 scattered

00:23:19.539 --> 00:23:19.799
 their

00:23:19.799 --> 00:23:20.159
 gifts

00:23:20.159 --> 00:23:20.819

00:23:21.180 --> 00:23:21.819
 their

00:23:21.819 --> 00:23:22.339
 righteousness

00:23:22.339 --> 00:23:23.180
 endures

00:23:23.180 --> 00:23:23.639
 forever

00:23:23.639 --> 00:23:24.839
 and now

00:23:24.839 --> 00:23:25.259
 he who

00:23:25.259 --> 00:23:25.619
 supplies

00:23:25.619 --> 00:23:25.960
 seed

00:23:25.960 --> 00:23:26.319
 to the

00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:26.619
 sower

00:23:26.619 --> 00:23:27.279

00:23:27.279 --> 00:23:27.899
 for food

00:23:27.899 --> 00:23:28.420
 will also

00:23:28.420 --> 00:23:28.960
 supply

00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:29.960
 and increase

00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:30.519
 your store

00:23:30.519 --> 00:23:30.980

00:23:31.379 --> 00:23:31.819
 enlarge

00:23:31.819 --> 00:23:32.299
 the harvest

00:23:32.299 --> 00:23:32.759
 of your

00:23:32.759 --> 00:23:33.159
 righteousness

00:23:33.159 --> 00:23:34.200
 you will

00:23:34.200 --> 00:23:34.680
 be enriched

00:23:34.680 --> 00:23:35.139
 in every

00:23:35.139 --> 00:23:35.460
 way

00:23:35.460 --> 00:23:35.879
 so that

00:23:35.879 --> 00:23:36.200
 you can

00:23:36.200 --> 00:23:36.359
 be

 on every

00:23:37.339 --> 00:23:37.779
 occasion

00:23:37.779 --> 00:23:39.299
 and through

00:23:39.299 --> 00:23:39.680
 us

00:23:39.680 --> 00:23:40.500
 your generosity

00:23:40.500 --> 00:23:41.319
 will result

00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:41.740
 in the

00:23:41.740 --> 00:23:42.200
 thanksgiving

00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:42.779
 of God

00:23:42.779 --> 00:23:45.299
 I'll keep

00:23:45.299 --> 00:23:45.539
 going

00:23:45.539 --> 00:23:46.559
 this service

00:23:46.559 --> 00:23:46.819
 that you

00:23:46.819 --> 00:23:47.119
 perform

00:23:47.119 --> 00:23:47.639
 is not only

00:23:47.639 --> 00:23:48.119
 supplying the

00:23:48.119 --> 00:23:48.579
 needs of the

00:23:48.579 --> 00:23:49.079
 Lord's people

00:23:49.079 --> 00:23:49.740
 but it's also

00:23:49.740 --> 00:23:50.740
 overflowing in

00:23:50.740 --> 00:23:51.420
 many expressions

00:23:51.420 --> 00:23:52.119
 of thanks to

00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:52.440
 God

00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:53.139
 because of the

00:23:53.139 --> 00:23:53.879
 service by which

00:23:53.879 --> 00:23:54.480
 you have proved

00:23:54.480 --> 00:23:54.899
 yourselves

00:23:54.899 --> 00:23:55.619
 others will

00:23:55.619 --> 00:23:56.299
 praise God

00:23:56.299 --> 00:23:56.680
 for the

00:23:56.680 --> 00:23:57.099
 obedience

00:23:57.099 --> 00:23:58.019
 that accompanies

00:23:58.019 --> 00:23:59.059
 your confession

00:23:59.059 --> 00:23:59.859
 of the gospel

00:23:59.859 --> 00:24:00.619
 of Christ

00:24:00.619 --> 00:24:01.839
 and for your

00:24:01.839 --> 00:24:02.359
 generosity

00:24:02.359 --> 00:24:02.899
 in sharing

00:24:02.899 --> 00:24:03.339
 with them

00:24:03.339 --> 00:24:03.619
 and with

00:24:03.619 --> 00:24:04.240
 everyone else

00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:05.420
 and in their

00:24:05.420 --> 00:24:06.399
 prayers for you

00:24:06.399 --> 00:24:06.980
 their hearts

00:24:06.980 --> 00:24:07.539
 will go out

00:24:07.539 --> 00:24:07.960
 to you

00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:08.639
 because of the

00:24:08.639 --> 00:24:09.660
 surpassing grace

00:24:09.660 --> 00:24:10.399
 God has given

00:24:10.399 --> 00:24:10.680
 you

00:24:10.680 --> 00:24:11.720
 thanks be to

00:24:11.720 --> 00:24:12.539
 God for his

00:24:12.539 --> 00:24:13.340
 indescribable

00:24:13.340 --> 00:24:13.779
 gift

00:24:13.779 --> 00:24:15.299
 right we've

00:24:15.299 --> 00:24:16.000
 read that a

00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:16.880
 thousand times

00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:17.400
 I'm sure

00:24:17.400 --> 00:24:18.320
 and we think

00:24:18.320 --> 00:24:18.840
 about it in

00:24:18.840 --> 00:24:19.480
 terms of our

00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:21.259
 personal generosity

00:24:21.259 --> 00:24:22.140
 particularly with

00:24:22.140 --> 00:24:23.960
 our financial

00:24:23.960 --> 00:24:24.580
 resources

00:24:24.580 --> 00:24:25.940
 but if we think

00:24:25.940 --> 00:24:26.539
 about it in

00:24:26.539 --> 00:24:27.320
 the sense that

00:24:27.320 --> 00:24:29.880
 Paul is talking

00:24:29.880 --> 00:24:30.440
 about churches

00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:31.080
 supporting one

00:24:31.080 --> 00:24:31.380
 another

00:24:31.380 --> 00:24:33.539
 and if you

00:24:33.539 --> 00:24:33.980
 think about it

00:24:33.980 --> 00:24:34.980
 in all the

00:24:34.980 --> 00:24:35.539
 ways of being

00:24:35.539 --> 00:24:35.960
 generous

00:24:35.960 --> 00:24:36.940
 in sending

00:24:36.940 --> 00:24:37.380
 of our

00:24:37.380 --> 00:24:38.740
 all of our

00:24:38.740 --> 00:24:39.200
 resources

00:24:39.200 --> 00:24:39.860
 our money

00:24:39.860 --> 00:24:41.140
 our time

00:24:41.140 --> 00:24:42.080
 our people

00:24:42.080 --> 00:24:43.059
 right that

00:24:43.059 --> 00:24:44.299
 kingdom mindedness

00:24:44.299 --> 00:24:45.100
 means we are

00:24:45.100 --> 00:24:46.900
 cheerfully giving

00:24:46.900 --> 00:24:47.759
 to the kingdom

00:24:47.759 --> 00:24:49.240
 in a variety

00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:49.799
 of ways

00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:51.740
 and we are

00:24:51.740 --> 00:24:52.840
 what this

00:24:52.840 --> 00:24:53.799
 promises is

00:24:53.799 --> 00:24:54.240
 that we will

00:24:54.240 --> 00:24:54.960
 be blessed

00:24:54.960 --> 00:24:55.900
 when we do

00:24:55.900 --> 00:24:56.759
 give generously

00:24:56.759 --> 00:24:58.180
 and that

00:24:58.180 --> 00:25:00.080
 it's not

00:25:00.080 --> 00:25:01.759
 us who supply

00:25:01.759 --> 00:25:02.299
 the seed

00:25:02.299 --> 00:25:03.220
 but it's he

00:25:03.220 --> 00:25:03.779
 who supplies

00:25:03.779 --> 00:25:04.220
 the seed

00:25:04.220 --> 00:25:04.920
 and he will

00:25:04.920 --> 00:25:05.519
 increase the

00:25:05.519 --> 00:25:06.200
 store of seed

00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:07.039
 right so if you

00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:07.559
 think about that

00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:08.639
 as an individual

00:25:08.639 --> 00:25:09.740
 who you're like

00:25:09.740 --> 00:25:10.399
 oh man it would

00:25:10.399 --> 00:25:10.980
 hurt to get rid

00:25:10.980 --> 00:25:11.519
 of to leave

00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:12.059
 to have that

00:25:12.059 --> 00:25:12.519
 one go

00:25:12.519 --> 00:25:13.839
 that God

00:25:13.839 --> 00:25:14.460
 supplies the

00:25:14.460 --> 00:25:15.240
 seed and he

00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:15.839
 will fill the

00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:16.359
 storehouse

00:25:16.359 --> 00:25:17.519
 and so we

00:25:17.519 --> 00:25:18.319
 we trust him

00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:19.259
 to continue

00:25:19.259 --> 00:25:20.559
 to fill the

00:25:20.559 --> 00:25:21.079
 storehouse

00:25:21.079 --> 00:25:21.759
 of people

00:25:21.759 --> 00:25:23.019
 of resource

00:25:23.019 --> 00:25:23.919
 right if we

00:25:23.919 --> 00:25:24.619
 are giving to

00:25:24.619 --> 00:25:24.980
 the kingdom

00:25:24.980 --> 00:25:25.440
 if we are

00:25:25.440 --> 00:25:26.359
 putting ourselves

00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:26.919
 out there

00:25:26.919 --> 00:25:27.919
 and risking

00:25:27.919 --> 00:25:29.679
 for his

00:25:29.679 --> 00:25:30.139
 glory

00:25:30.139 --> 00:25:31.359
 he will

00:25:31.359 --> 00:25:32.259
 reward that

00:25:32.259 --> 00:25:33.779
 and we

00:25:33.779 --> 00:25:34.679
 will not be

00:25:34.679 --> 00:25:35.720
 in need

00:25:35.720 --> 00:25:39.160
 so gospel

00:25:39.160 --> 00:25:39.600
 ministry

00:25:39.600 --> 00:25:40.460
 kingdom

00:25:40.460 --> 00:25:41.200
 mindedness

00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:43.039
 it's praying

00:25:43.039 --> 00:25:44.120
 for supporting

00:25:44.120 --> 00:25:44.839
 and actively

00:25:44.839 --> 00:25:45.740
 revitalizing

00:25:45.740 --> 00:25:46.400
 and planting

00:25:46.400 --> 00:25:46.860
 churches

00:25:46.860 --> 00:25:47.960
 both here

00:25:47.960 --> 00:25:49.079
 and afield

00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:50.440
 and this is

00:25:50.440 --> 00:25:51.200
 what we've

00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:51.880
 said we look

00:25:51.880 --> 00:25:52.319
 at and we

00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:52.779
 say God

00:25:52.779 --> 00:25:53.180
 you've called

00:25:53.180 --> 00:25:53.799
 us to look

00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:54.779
 and be

00:25:54.779 --> 00:25:55.500
 kingdom minded

00:25:55.500 --> 00:25:56.059
 in this way

00:25:56.059 --> 00:25:57.620
 so before we

00:25:57.620 --> 00:25:59.180
 end like we

00:25:59.180 --> 00:25:59.579
 did the first

00:25:59.579 --> 00:26:00.279
 time what are

00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:01.000
 some implications

00:26:01.000 --> 00:26:01.819
 for us as a

00:26:01.819 --> 00:26:03.200
 church to

00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:04.579
 being generous

00:26:04.579 --> 00:26:05.480
 and praying

00:26:05.480 --> 00:26:06.399
 and thinking

00:26:06.399 --> 00:26:07.079
 and supporting

00:26:07.079 --> 00:26:08.139
 and even

00:26:08.139 --> 00:26:09.019
 potentially

00:26:09.019 --> 00:26:10.299
 participating in

00:26:10.299 --> 00:26:11.379
 the revitalization

00:26:11.379 --> 00:26:11.919
 or planting

00:26:11.919 --> 00:26:12.559
 of churches

00:26:12.559 --> 00:26:13.460
 locally

00:26:13.460 --> 00:26:14.399
 nationally

00:26:14.399 --> 00:26:15.279
 and internationally

00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:16.720
 a couple of

00:26:16.720 --> 00:26:17.199
 minutes to talk

00:26:17.199 --> 00:26:18.019
 about that

00:26:18.019 --> 00:26:31.039
 nice one

00:26:31.039 --> 00:26:33.680
 what are some

00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:34.180
 of the things

00:26:34.180 --> 00:26:38.740
 that it means

00:26:38.740 --> 00:26:39.339
 for us

00:26:39.339 --> 00:26:39.920
 if we're

00:26:39.920 --> 00:26:40.180
 going to be

00:26:40.180 --> 00:26:40.559
 this sort

00:26:40.559 --> 00:26:40.879
 of kingdom

00:26:40.879 --> 00:26:41.259
 minded

00:26:41.259 --> 00:26:42.200
 church

00:26:42.200 --> 00:26:48.299
 sacrificial

00:26:48.299 --> 00:26:49.339
 in what way

00:26:49.339 --> 00:26:50.960
 just in

00:26:50.960 --> 00:26:51.240
 general

00:26:51.240 --> 00:27:03.140
 yeah

00:27:03.140 --> 00:27:05.140
 yeah

00:27:05.140 --> 00:27:07.799
 no it's good

00:27:07.799 --> 00:27:08.799
 yeah being

00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:09.339
 sacrificial

00:27:09.339 --> 00:27:10.319
 just kind of

00:27:10.319 --> 00:27:11.259
 thinking about

00:27:11.259 --> 00:27:13.819
 that whether

00:27:13.819 --> 00:27:15.160
 that's resources

00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:16.279
 or people

00:27:16.279 --> 00:27:17.900
 and understanding

00:27:17.900 --> 00:27:19.960
 that trusting

00:27:19.960 --> 00:27:20.799
 that God

00:27:20.799 --> 00:27:21.319
 will sustain

00:27:21.319 --> 00:27:22.299
 in any case

00:27:22.299 --> 00:27:23.960
 what else

00:27:23.960 --> 00:27:26.100
 does it mean

00:27:26.100 --> 00:27:26.640
 for us

00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:28.319
 to live

00:27:28.319 --> 00:27:28.720
 this way

00:27:28.720 --> 00:27:29.880
 to be this

00:27:29.880 --> 00:27:30.259
 way as a

00:27:30.259 --> 00:27:30.519
 church

00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:43.720
 yeah

00:27:43.720 --> 00:27:50.460
 yeah

00:27:50.460 --> 00:27:51.059
 particularly

00:27:51.059 --> 00:27:51.579
 yeah the

00:27:51.579 --> 00:27:52.059
 global

00:27:52.059 --> 00:27:53.140
 mindedness

00:27:53.140 --> 00:27:53.880
 is to

00:27:53.880 --> 00:27:54.160
 think

00:27:54.160 --> 00:27:55.400
 how do I

00:27:55.400 --> 00:27:55.759
 wrap

00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:57.039
 wrap my

00:27:57.039 --> 00:27:57.360
 head around

00:27:57.360 --> 00:27:57.559
 it

00:27:57.559 --> 00:27:58.980
 but it's

00:27:58.980 --> 00:27:59.160
 yeah

00:27:59.160 --> 00:27:59.900
 having a

00:27:59.900 --> 00:28:00.220
 few

00:28:00.220 --> 00:28:01.240
 or hopefully

00:28:01.240 --> 00:28:01.660
 a lot

00:28:01.660 --> 00:28:02.700
 of partners

00:28:02.700 --> 00:28:03.360
 and people

00:28:03.360 --> 00:28:04.480
 that we

00:28:04.480 --> 00:28:05.000
 know and

00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:05.460
 know us

00:28:05.460 --> 00:28:05.839
 in some

00:28:05.839 --> 00:28:06.059
 way

00:28:06.059 --> 00:28:06.339
 and there's

00:28:06.339 --> 00:28:06.900
 a relationship

00:28:06.900 --> 00:28:07.480
 formed

00:28:07.480 --> 00:28:08.160
 such that

00:28:08.160 --> 00:28:08.720
 you know

00:28:08.720 --> 00:28:10.460
 you see

00:28:10.460 --> 00:28:11.019
 you know

00:28:11.019 --> 00:28:12.299
 where Paul

00:28:12.299 --> 00:28:12.680
 is sending

00:28:12.680 --> 00:28:13.079
 a letter

00:28:13.079 --> 00:28:13.880
 and receiving

00:28:13.880 --> 00:28:14.480
 letters from

00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:14.980
 these churches

00:28:14.980 --> 00:28:16.259
 right it's

00:28:16.259 --> 00:28:16.660
 that sort

00:28:16.660 --> 00:28:17.200
 of relationship

00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:18.039
 obviously we

00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:18.259
 don't have

00:28:18.259 --> 00:28:18.440
 to do

00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:19.019
 letters anymore

00:28:19.019 --> 00:28:20.620
 but you

00:28:20.620 --> 00:28:20.880
 know that

00:28:20.880 --> 00:28:21.180
 we could

00:28:21.180 --> 00:28:21.680
 keep up

00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:22.360
 with and

00:28:22.360 --> 00:28:22.799
 know what's

00:28:22.799 --> 00:28:23.460
 going on

00:28:23.460 --> 00:28:24.480
 with partners

00:28:24.480 --> 00:28:25.900
 across the

00:28:25.900 --> 00:28:26.519
 world wherever

00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:27.200
 we have

00:28:27.200 --> 00:28:29.200
 partners such

00:28:29.200 --> 00:28:30.100
 that we

00:28:30.100 --> 00:28:30.579
 hear from

00:28:30.579 --> 00:28:31.059
 them and we

00:28:31.059 --> 00:28:31.880
 understand what's

00:28:31.880 --> 00:28:32.740
 going on we

00:28:32.740 --> 00:28:33.500
 have concrete

00:28:33.500 --> 00:28:34.140
 things to pray

00:28:34.140 --> 00:28:35.799
 for we know

00:28:35.799 --> 00:28:36.460
 what their needs

00:28:36.460 --> 00:28:37.519
 are such that

00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:38.059
 then we can

00:28:38.059 --> 00:28:38.879
 we can go

00:28:38.879 --> 00:28:39.319
 right and we

00:28:39.319 --> 00:28:39.859
 can send

00:28:39.859 --> 00:28:40.299
 people like

00:28:40.299 --> 00:28:40.759
 Clifford to

00:28:40.759 --> 00:28:41.279
 go preach

00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:43.859
 in other

00:28:43.859 --> 00:28:44.539
 places right

00:28:44.539 --> 00:28:46.200
 so that's

00:28:46.200 --> 00:28:46.740
 really good and

00:28:46.740 --> 00:28:47.539
 we talked about

00:28:47.539 --> 00:28:48.400
 open doors as

00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:50.319
 well knowing

00:28:50.319 --> 00:28:51.240
 and having

00:28:51.240 --> 00:28:51.900
 some a few

00:28:51.900 --> 00:28:52.799
 things like we

00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:53.440
 know there's

00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:54.119
 people across

00:28:54.119 --> 00:28:54.700
 the world that

00:28:54.700 --> 00:28:55.259
 are persecuted

00:28:55.259 --> 00:28:56.099
 for their

00:28:56.099 --> 00:28:57.099
 faith but

00:28:57.099 --> 00:28:57.559
 having a few

00:28:57.559 --> 00:28:58.539
 stories and a

00:28:58.539 --> 00:28:59.299
 few reminders

00:28:59.299 --> 00:29:00.180
 every so

00:29:00.180 --> 00:29:00.900
 often helps

00:29:00.900 --> 00:29:01.779
 us keep

00:29:01.779 --> 00:29:02.339
 those things

00:29:02.339 --> 00:29:03.000
 front of mind

00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:03.579
 enough to

00:29:03.579 --> 00:29:04.839
 pray and to

00:29:04.839 --> 00:29:06.160
 consider what

00:29:06.160 --> 00:29:06.799
 God might want

00:29:06.799 --> 00:29:07.379
 us to do

00:29:07.380 --> 00:29:07.760
 in that

00:29:07.760 --> 00:29:08.540
 you know

00:29:08.540 --> 00:29:09.600
 he might want

00:29:09.600 --> 00:29:10.040
 us to just

00:29:10.040 --> 00:29:10.500
 pray he

00:29:10.500 --> 00:29:11.240
 definitely wants

00:29:11.240 --> 00:29:11.740
 us to pray

00:29:11.740 --> 00:29:12.540
 but he might

00:29:12.540 --> 00:29:12.900
 want us to

00:29:12.900 --> 00:29:13.300
 do more than

00:29:13.300 --> 00:29:14.300
 that and if

00:29:14.300 --> 00:29:14.620
 we're not

00:29:14.620 --> 00:29:15.080
 praying and

00:29:15.080 --> 00:29:15.320
 we're not

00:29:15.320 --> 00:29:15.940
 reminded we'll

00:29:15.940 --> 00:29:17.420
 not lean into

00:29:17.420 --> 00:29:19.380
 that so yes

00:29:19.380 --> 00:29:20.040
 making it

00:29:20.040 --> 00:29:21.780
 concrete what

00:29:21.780 --> 00:29:22.180
 else anything

00:29:22.180 --> 00:29:22.660
 else

00:29:22.660 --> 00:29:43.700
 doesn't

00:29:43.700 --> 00:29:46.059
 because God is building the church

00:29:46.059 --> 00:29:48.319
 to make sure we're not tearing it down

00:29:48.319 --> 00:29:49.039
 in a sense

00:29:49.039 --> 00:29:52.900
 because if you have a huge influence

00:29:52.900 --> 00:29:53.860
 of people for example

00:29:53.860 --> 00:29:55.220
 that's money and all of that

00:29:55.220 --> 00:29:57.140
 we can sometimes write them that way

00:29:57.140 --> 00:29:58.880
 it feels like everything's so good

00:29:58.880 --> 00:30:00.340
 we have a history of these people

00:30:00.340 --> 00:30:02.539
 when things are good we mess it up

00:30:02.539 --> 00:30:04.640
 how do you protect yourself

00:30:04.640 --> 00:30:06.480
 I think it's by being connected

00:30:06.480 --> 00:30:09.319
 so you are always

00:30:09.319 --> 00:30:11.360
 facing transgressions

00:30:11.360 --> 00:30:11.779
 in a sense

00:30:11.779 --> 00:30:14.680
 because if someone else they connected to

00:30:14.680 --> 00:30:15.519
 is going through that

00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:19.079
 love will tell you that you are also suffering

00:30:19.079 --> 00:30:20.579
 and then might practically

00:30:20.579 --> 00:30:22.819
 create you opportunities

00:30:22.819 --> 00:30:24.539
 that contribute and support

00:30:24.539 --> 00:30:26.440
 like Nick was saying

00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:28.039
 for example if we have

00:30:28.039 --> 00:30:32.700
 so that would be

00:30:32.700 --> 00:30:33.599
 something that could help

00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:36.139
 money or leaders

00:30:36.139 --> 00:30:38.160
 yeah that's good

00:30:38.160 --> 00:30:40.839
 being aware of those things

00:30:40.839 --> 00:30:43.019
 even if it's not our struggle

00:30:43.019 --> 00:30:44.399
 because we're connected

00:30:44.399 --> 00:30:46.000
 we feel those struggles

00:30:46.000 --> 00:30:48.179
 and can maintain

00:30:48.179 --> 00:30:49.459
 a groundedness

00:30:49.459 --> 00:30:50.179
 you know

00:30:50.179 --> 00:30:50.720
 obviously

00:30:50.720 --> 00:30:51.879
 there won't be a moment

00:30:51.879 --> 00:30:52.980
 where we don't have our own struggles

00:30:52.980 --> 00:30:53.379
 but

00:30:53.379 --> 00:30:56.379
 it helps to be aware of them as well

00:30:56.379 --> 00:31:00.579
 anything else

00:31:00.579 --> 00:31:02.759
 before I pray

00:31:02.759 --> 00:31:03.539
 we close

00:31:03.539 --> 00:31:06.240
 I think it's

00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:10.220
 I probably didn't bring anything

00:31:10.220 --> 00:31:11.079
 that you didn't know

00:31:11.079 --> 00:31:12.619
 and that's not really the point

00:31:12.619 --> 00:31:14.900
 but to remind us of

00:31:14.900 --> 00:31:16.599
 of what God is doing

00:31:16.599 --> 00:31:18.519
 we're a small part of it

00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:21.259
 and we're thankful for it

00:31:21.259 --> 00:31:23.180
 but if we

00:31:23.180 --> 00:31:24.680
 we make it about us

00:31:24.680 --> 00:31:26.220
 and not about

00:31:26.220 --> 00:31:27.460
 the kingdom

00:31:27.460 --> 00:31:28.379
 God's kingdom

00:31:28.380 --> 00:31:30.120
 then we're

00:31:30.120 --> 00:31:31.140
 we're going to miss out

00:31:31.140 --> 00:31:31.680
 and

00:31:31.680 --> 00:31:35.680
 so we need to

00:31:35.680 --> 00:31:36.540
 to keep this in mind

00:31:36.540 --> 00:31:36.820
 so

00:31:36.820 --> 00:31:39.380
 the kingdom

00:31:39.380 --> 00:31:40.560
 kingdom minded means

00:31:40.560 --> 00:31:41.440
 sending our best

00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:42.820
 and kingdom minded means

00:31:49.540 --> 00:31:51.340
 across the country

00:31:51.340 --> 00:31:52.600

 supporting those

00:31:55.340 --> 00:31:55.960
 who are doing it

00:31:55.960 --> 00:31:56.380
 so

00:31:56.380 --> 00:31:58.380
 shall we pray

00:31:58.380 --> 00:31:59.680
 let's do it

00:31:59.680 --> 00:32:01.779
 father we

00:32:01.779 --> 00:32:03.200
 come to you

00:32:03.200 --> 00:32:03.400
 and

00:32:03.400 --> 00:32:05.360
 we thank you for

00:32:05.360 --> 00:32:06.180
 being

00:32:06.180 --> 00:32:08.440
 the king

00:32:08.440 --> 00:32:10.440
 the king of

00:32:10.440 --> 00:32:12.340
 your world

00:32:12.340 --> 00:32:13.880
 and that

00:32:13.880 --> 00:32:16.279
 regardless of what we

00:32:16.279 --> 00:32:17.600
 might see

00:32:17.600 --> 00:32:19.079
 with the blinders

00:32:19.079 --> 00:32:19.500
 and the

00:32:19.500 --> 00:32:20.819
 the things that

00:32:20.819 --> 00:32:21.980
 keep us from seeing

00:32:21.980 --> 00:32:22.680
 what you're doing

00:32:22.680 --> 00:32:24.019
 God you are at work

00:32:24.019 --> 00:32:24.940
 in the world

00:32:24.940 --> 00:32:26.620
 bringing people

00:32:26.620 --> 00:32:27.279
 to yourself

00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:27.759
 Lord we

00:32:27.759 --> 00:32:29.140
 we trust

00:32:29.140 --> 00:32:30.140
 in your promise

00:32:30.140 --> 00:32:30.480
 that

00:32:30.480 --> 00:32:33.580
 that your church

00:32:33.580 --> 00:32:34.539
 will thrive

00:32:34.539 --> 00:32:35.460
 and even the gates

00:32:35.460 --> 00:32:35.820
 of hell

00:32:35.820 --> 00:32:36.460
 will not prevail

00:32:36.460 --> 00:32:37.180
 against it

00:32:37.180 --> 00:32:38.100
 Lord

00:32:38.100 --> 00:32:39.700
 it's your church

00:32:39.700 --> 00:32:41.100
 and it's

00:32:41.100 --> 00:32:42.380
 much bigger

00:32:42.380 --> 00:32:42.920
 than us

00:32:42.920 --> 00:32:43.600
 and

00:32:43.600 --> 00:32:45.059
 we want to

00:32:45.059 --> 00:32:45.700
 keep that

00:32:45.700 --> 00:32:46.460
 mindset

00:32:46.460 --> 00:32:47.420
 to understand

00:32:47.420 --> 00:32:48.200
 that it's yours

00:32:48.200 --> 00:32:48.720
 and that

00:32:48.720 --> 00:32:50.059
 it's not us

00:32:50.059 --> 00:32:51.160
 it's not ours

00:32:51.160 --> 00:32:52.279
 and that

00:32:52.279 --> 00:32:54.400
 like

00:32:54.400 --> 00:32:56.200
 the Corinthians

00:32:56.200 --> 00:32:57.620
 and the Philippians

00:32:57.620 --> 00:32:58.040
 who are

00:32:58.040 --> 00:32:58.980
 supporting one

00:32:58.980 --> 00:32:59.300
 another

00:32:59.300 --> 00:32:59.560
 Lord

00:32:59.560 --> 00:33:00.320
 would we be

00:33:00.320 --> 00:33:01.140
 supportive

00:33:01.140 --> 00:33:02.600
 would we send

00:33:02.600 --> 00:33:03.200
 our best

00:33:03.200 --> 00:33:03.759
 would we

00:33:03.759 --> 00:33:06.000
 look at your

00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:06.320
 kingdom

00:33:06.320 --> 00:33:07.180
 and

00:33:07.180 --> 00:33:08.860
 participate

00:33:08.860 --> 00:33:09.779
 in it

00:33:09.779 --> 00:33:11.060
 and to trust

00:33:11.060 --> 00:33:11.800
 you with it

00:33:11.800 --> 00:33:12.320
 and not

00:33:12.320 --> 00:33:13.420
 hold things

00:33:13.420 --> 00:33:14.120
 you know

00:33:14.120 --> 00:33:14.759
 grasp them

00:33:14.759 --> 00:33:15.279
 for our own

00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:15.640
 purposes

00:33:15.640 --> 00:33:17.259
 even if

00:33:17.259 --> 00:33:18.180
 they're people

00:33:18.180 --> 00:33:18.700
 we love

00:33:18.700 --> 00:33:19.280
 dearly

00:33:19.280 --> 00:33:19.880
 Lord

00:33:19.880 --> 00:33:20.200
 would we

00:33:20.200 --> 00:33:20.759
 send them

00:33:20.759 --> 00:33:21.360
 for your

00:33:21.360 --> 00:33:21.740
 glory

00:33:21.740 --> 00:33:23.180
 and so we

00:33:25.720 --> 00:33:26.100
 to build

00:33:26.100 --> 00:33:26.440
 leaders

00:33:26.440 --> 00:33:26.800
 that we

00:33:26.800 --> 00:33:27.420
