WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.000
 Amen.

00:00:05.100 --> 00:00:08.300
 Well, open your Bibles, if you would please, to Acts chapter 3.

00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:10.000
!

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:38.700
 As the church, in terms of the purposes that we are to fulfill, as belonging to the Lord Jesus, and belonging to one another.

00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:45.019
 And we got to see over the last several weeks, from Acts chapter 2, verses 42 to 47,

00:00:45.480 --> 00:00:51.079
 this church that is beginning to show the evidence of spiritual life.

00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:54.560
 Life that has happened because of the work of Christ in their life,

00:00:54.560 --> 00:01:00.640
 and a life that is visible as they are sharing their life with those around them.

00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:07.180
 It's been a church that we'll continue to see as we move our way into Acts chapter 3 and the continuing chapters.

00:01:07.620 --> 00:01:11.500
 The church that is committed to teaching, a church that is committed to fellowship,

00:01:11.500 --> 00:01:17.060
 a church that is committed to selling possessions and sharing those possessions with others,

00:01:17.579 --> 00:01:20.599
 ministering to needs, meeting the needs of those around them.

00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:26.459
 A church that is celebrating and worshiping the Lord together as they're attending temple day by day.

00:01:26.899 --> 00:01:31.819
 And a church that is seeing and experiencing the work of God among them.

00:01:32.399 --> 00:01:36.840
 As day by day, the Lord will add to their number those who are being saved.

00:01:37.739 --> 00:01:43.159
 They get to experience that because of the work of God working in and through them,

00:01:43.500 --> 00:01:48.299
 showing the testimony, the mark of God's gospel work in their hearts,

00:01:48.299 --> 00:01:52.719
 in capturing the attention of those in Jerusalem who see it for themselves.

00:01:52.939 --> 00:01:58.519
 The tangible evidence of that gospel work now is coming to fruition,

00:01:58.939 --> 00:02:02.280
 and God is drawing people to himself as a result of that.

00:02:02.979 --> 00:02:05.900
 This morning, as we turn our attention now to chapter 3,

00:02:05.979 --> 00:02:11.379
 we're going to see this continuing work through the apostle Peter and John,

00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:14.960
 as they're going to be ministering to a very specific individual,

00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:19.219
 a lame man who comes to the temple to have his needs met.

00:02:19.420 --> 00:02:23.680
 And because Peter and John don't just pass up this opportunity,

00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:27.340
 but see this man and his needs for what they are,

00:02:27.640 --> 00:02:28.980
 are willing to step in,

00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:34.520
 then God will do a work again in this man, but also in Jerusalem.

00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:39.719
 It really is an evidence to us of how gospel ministry works.

00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:43.840
 It doesn't just happen by other people in other places,

00:02:44.180 --> 00:02:48.560
 doing God's work in those foreign places,

00:02:48.699 --> 00:02:51.099
 but it's a work that God has called us to do.

00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:53.000
 It's a work that God has,

00:02:54.340 --> 00:02:57.000
 the purpose that God has called us to meet

00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:00.719
 as we are interacting with individuals day by day

00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:03.939
 in very ordinary, very mundane places,

00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:06.020
 stepping into where they are

00:03:06.020 --> 00:03:09.340
 and seeking to be used of God right where they are.

00:03:10.340 --> 00:03:14.000
 This is the same kind of thing that happened back in the 1800s,

00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:17.200
 a name that I'm sure many of you are familiar with,

00:03:17.340 --> 00:03:18.180
 the name Helen Keller.

00:03:19.219 --> 00:03:23.400
 Helen Keller suffered from an illness when she was very young,

00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:25.060
 and as a result of that illness,

00:03:25.219 --> 00:03:28.439
 she would lose her sight and also her hearing.

00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:31.520
 Her situation seemed hopeless.

00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:34.580
 She was essentially cut off from communication,

00:03:35.020 --> 00:03:36.480
 cut off from the outside world,

00:03:36.740 --> 00:03:42.020
 unable really to enjoy the benefits of relationship with individuals

00:03:42.020 --> 00:03:44.379
 because from a communication standpoint,

00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:46.780
 there was no way for her to bridge that gap.

00:03:47.939 --> 00:03:50.840
 Her father looked for help.

00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:54.640
 He wanted to try to help his daughter in this situation,

00:03:55.060 --> 00:03:58.460
 and he found someone named Ann Sullivan

00:03:58.460 --> 00:04:00.719
 who had a step into this role.

00:04:01.740 --> 00:04:04.120
 Ann was no stranger to difficulty herself.

00:04:04.980 --> 00:04:11.319
 Ann had also been one who had suffered from blindness

00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:13.760
 because of a bacterial eye infection

00:04:13.760 --> 00:04:15.920
 that happened also while she was young.

00:04:17.019 --> 00:04:18.980
 She lived in poverty.

00:04:19.300 --> 00:04:21.180
 Ann did live in poverty.

00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:23.519
 She lost her mother when she was very young,

00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:25.439
 and her father abandoned her,

00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:29.120
 and she had to go and live in an almshouse

00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:33.920
 before eventually being admitted to a place

00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:36.620
 where it could help to rehabilitate her

00:04:36.620 --> 00:04:38.480
 and help her to learn how to communicate

00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:40.399
 in the midst of her blindness.

00:04:41.540 --> 00:04:45.259
 So by the time Ann Sullivan arrived in Alabama

00:04:45.259 --> 00:04:46.720
 to come help,

00:04:47.699 --> 00:04:50.000
 she understood that Helen Keller was intelligent.

00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:53.379
 She understood that Helen had the ability to learn,

00:04:53.379 --> 00:04:56.219
 but there was just these obstacles in the way.

00:04:57.300 --> 00:05:00.240
 And she tried to teach her through those hand motions,

00:05:00.459 --> 00:05:02.620
 doing hand motions in her hands

00:05:02.620 --> 00:05:05.060
 so she could kind of see and feel the letters,

00:05:05.259 --> 00:05:07.620
 but it wasn't making any sense to Helen

00:05:07.620 --> 00:05:10.240
 until a breakthrough happened

00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:12.620
 when Ann would take Helen,

00:05:13.019 --> 00:05:15.240
 take her to a water fountain

00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:16.819
 and help her to see

00:05:16.819 --> 00:05:20.819
 that this water that she was feeling in her hand

00:05:20.819 --> 00:05:24.639
 and the symbols that she would feel on her other hand,

00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:26.879
 the letters that were being spelled out,

00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:28.659
 actually spelled out the word water,

00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:31.439
 and then everything began to make sense for Helen.

00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:32.480
 The breakthrough happened.

00:05:32.620 --> 00:05:34.680
 The light bulb moment took place.

00:05:36.019 --> 00:05:39.120
 And then as a result of that breakthrough moment,

00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:42.339
 Helen would come to learn even 30 words,

00:05:42.339 --> 00:05:45.899
 30 brand new words that very first day.

00:05:45.899 --> 00:05:51.099
 You see, Ann Sullivan entered into Helen's world.

00:05:52.159 --> 00:05:54.039
 She was willing to overcome this obstacle,

00:05:54.219 --> 00:05:58.899
 willing to address her own personal insecurities

00:05:58.899 --> 00:06:00.659
 and the difficulties of her life,

00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:04.579
 and that helped her to step into Helen's experience,

00:06:05.239 --> 00:06:07.979
 to be patient with the challenges that Helen had.

00:06:08.779 --> 00:06:10.839
 She did not treat Helen's problem

00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:13.500
 as too difficult to address.

00:06:13.500 --> 00:06:15.720
 She took her by the hand.

00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:17.300
 She worked patiently.

00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:19.220
 She gave what she had.

00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:21.480
 And as a result of her faithful,

00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:24.259
 patient ministry to Helen,

00:06:24.779 --> 00:06:27.060
 God used that to overcome this challenge,

00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:28.819
 this communication challenge,

00:06:29.819 --> 00:06:33.279
 and allowed through patience and through touch

00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:37.259
 for Helen to overcome this communication barrier.

00:06:38.300 --> 00:06:39.879
 It's a lesson for us

00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:43.699
 because if any of us are to step in

00:06:43.699 --> 00:06:45.019
 and to minister to others,

00:06:45.019 --> 00:06:47.740
 we need to follow the same pattern.

00:06:48.579 --> 00:06:51.120
 We need to be those who are willing to encourage

00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:53.779
 and help those around us

00:06:53.779 --> 00:06:55.139
 by using what we have,

00:06:55.420 --> 00:06:56.860
 stepping into their situation,

00:06:57.620 --> 00:07:00.279
 and being willing to address their problems patiently

00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:01.980
 as ministers of the Lord.

00:07:03.159 --> 00:07:04.600
 As we come to chapter 3,

00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:08.220
 we're going to see a number of situations

00:07:08.220 --> 00:07:10.600
 in the next several chapters

00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:13.860
 where things will happen that seem quite unexpected.

00:07:14.939 --> 00:07:16.100
 This morning in chapter 3,

00:07:16.180 --> 00:07:19.280
 we're going to see that Peter will heal this lame man,

00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:21.720
 this man who's been lame since birth.

00:07:22.280 --> 00:07:24.480
 And we need to begin to ask ourselves this question.

00:07:24.780 --> 00:07:26.820
 The ministry that the Lord Jesus had

00:07:26.820 --> 00:07:28.740
 and the ministry that we'll see

00:07:28.740 --> 00:07:29.920
 in these first several chapters,

00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:33.420
 is it a ministry that God has called us to have as well?

00:07:33.420 --> 00:07:34.800
 A ministry of miracles.

00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:37.939
 A ministry of working wonders.

00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:41.140
 And so we come to understand

00:07:41.140 --> 00:07:43.560
 that Acts is this transitional book.

00:07:44.400 --> 00:07:46.439
 And it's describing things

00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:48.740
 that are happening in the here and now,

00:07:49.200 --> 00:07:51.560
 but aren't necessarily those kinds of things

00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:52.480
 that we can anticipate

00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:55.720
 that God has instructed us to do as a church.

00:07:56.400 --> 00:07:57.740
 The technical word is,

00:07:58.060 --> 00:08:00.860
 it's descriptive, not prescriptive.

00:08:00.860 --> 00:08:02.840
 It's not instruction orders

00:08:02.840 --> 00:08:04.120
 or the marching orders

00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:05.360
 that God has given to the church

00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:07.560
 to then carry out miracles

00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:10.600
 in and among ourselves as well.

00:08:10.740 --> 00:08:12.080
 Now, God can do miracles.

00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:13.460
 He does it through prayer

00:08:13.460 --> 00:08:16.600
 as we are asking the Lord to do things

00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:18.520
 for the people around us.

00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:19.580
 And He does.

00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:20.800
 He heals.

00:08:21.020 --> 00:08:21.639
 He delivers.

00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:22.639
 He saves.

00:08:22.980 --> 00:08:23.860
 He preserves.

00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:24.540
 He helps.

00:08:24.980 --> 00:08:26.819
 God is in the business of answering prayer.

00:08:26.819 --> 00:08:28.959
 But what we're going to see

00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:30.860
 in the ministry of the apostles,

00:08:31.099 --> 00:08:32.700
 they're laying foundations.

00:08:33.700 --> 00:08:35.179
 This is an apostolic work.

00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:38.159
 And you remember from Ephesians 2, verse 20,

00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:42.240
 that God allowed the apostles and prophets

00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:45.039
 to lay this foundation for the church.

00:08:45.139 --> 00:08:46.659
 And Jesus Christ Himself

00:08:46.659 --> 00:08:48.679
 was the chief cornerstone.

00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:51.000
 This was a unique time.

00:08:51.439 --> 00:08:52.679
 An unprecedented time.

00:08:52.739 --> 00:08:55.379
 This was a time that hearkened back

00:08:55.379 --> 00:08:56.479
 to the Lord Jesus

00:08:56.479 --> 00:09:02.000
 who also helped to heal lame and blind men.

00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:05.500
 We find that in Acts 2, verse 22.

00:09:06.379 --> 00:09:06.939
 Peter will say,

00:09:07.019 --> 00:09:08.479
 Men of Israel, hear these words.

00:09:08.859 --> 00:09:10.139
 Jesus of Nazareth,

00:09:10.239 --> 00:09:12.839
 a man attested to you by God

00:09:12.839 --> 00:09:15.519
 with mighty works and wonders and signs

00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:18.159
 that God did through Him in your midst

00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:19.819
 as you yourselves know.

00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:22.899
 God confirmed His message

00:09:22.899 --> 00:09:25.960
 through Jesus by miracles,

00:09:26.259 --> 00:09:27.980
 by signs, by wonders.

00:09:28.740 --> 00:09:30.199
 And God was going to do the same thing

00:09:30.199 --> 00:09:32.000
 in this apostolic era.

00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:34.039
 He was going to confirm the word,

00:09:34.199 --> 00:09:36.279
 the teaching that we saw last week,

00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:39.039
 confirm this teaching through His apostles

00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:40.379
 through miracles.

00:09:41.620 --> 00:09:45.120
 So we find ourselves in Acts chapter 3,

00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:47.419
 and we pick up the story there in verse 1.

00:09:47.500 --> 00:09:48.919
 Let me read this for you.

00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:50.379
 If you have a pew Bible,

00:09:50.860 --> 00:09:52.079
 or if you're using the pew Bible,

00:09:52.179 --> 00:09:53.159
 let me encourage you to turn.

00:09:53.579 --> 00:09:54.860
 It's on page 911.

00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:56.740
 Here's what it says.

00:09:57.439 --> 00:09:57.720
 It says,

00:09:57.779 --> 00:10:00.659
 Now Peter and John were going up to the temple

00:10:00.659 --> 00:10:02.179
 at the hour of prayer,

00:10:02.899 --> 00:10:03.860
 the ninth hour.

00:10:04.740 --> 00:10:06.899
 And a lame man from birth was being carried,

00:10:07.199 --> 00:10:09.720
 whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple

00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:11.480
 that is called the Beautiful Gate,

00:10:12.079 --> 00:10:15.419
 to ask alms of those entering the temple.

00:10:16.299 --> 00:10:18.620
 Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple,

00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:20.699
 he asked them to receive alms.

00:10:21.379 --> 00:10:23.079
 And Peter directed his gaze at him,

00:10:23.399 --> 00:10:24.360
 as did John,

00:10:24.579 --> 00:10:25.379
 and said,

00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:26.220
 Look at us.

00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:28.379
 And he fixed his attention on them,

00:10:28.939 --> 00:10:31.699
 expecting to receive something from them.

00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:34.019
 We're going to see a number of things

00:10:34.019 --> 00:10:34.759
 through this passage,

00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:37.120
 and there are more verses for us to look at,

00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:39.120
 but I want to just draw your attention

00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:40.860
 to some directives,

00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:43.259
 some things we see in the apostle Peter and John

00:10:43.259 --> 00:10:45.720
 that help to inform us

00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:47.539
 in the ways that we also

00:10:47.539 --> 00:10:49.059
 should relate to the people

00:10:49.059 --> 00:10:50.039
 that God has put us

00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:52.299
 in communion with,

00:10:52.340 --> 00:10:53.100
 in relationship,

00:10:53.259 --> 00:10:55.799
 with the spheres that God has allowed us

00:10:55.799 --> 00:10:57.779
 to interact with others.

00:10:58.179 --> 00:10:59.279
 And the first is this.

00:10:59.960 --> 00:11:00.840
 We learn the lesson

00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:02.419
 of being attentive

00:11:02.419 --> 00:11:04.559
 to notice hurting people.

00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:06.419
 Be attentive

00:11:06.419 --> 00:11:08.620
 to notice hurting people.

00:11:08.620 --> 00:11:10.779
 Peter and John are here.

00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:13.120
 They're going up to the temple

00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:14.120
 at the hour of prayer.

00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:15.320
 It's the ninth hour.

00:11:16.139 --> 00:11:17.980
 And what's important to observe

00:11:17.980 --> 00:11:19.220
 right at the start

00:11:19.220 --> 00:11:20.560
 of this account

00:11:20.560 --> 00:11:23.159
 is while something spectacular

00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:24.200
 will happen,

00:11:24.580 --> 00:11:26.360
 it all comes out

00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:27.820
 of a very ordinary experience.

00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:30.039
 It was an ordinary day.

00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:31.879
 It was just like any other.

00:11:32.620 --> 00:11:33.740
 Peter and John are doing

00:11:33.740 --> 00:11:34.840
 what they have done

00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:36.879
 now for the last several years.

00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:38.519
 They've learned.

00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:39.659
 The importance,

00:11:39.820 --> 00:11:41.799
 the rhythm of going to the temple.

00:11:41.980 --> 00:11:42.740
 They do this

00:11:42.740 --> 00:11:44.240
 during the time of prayer.

00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:47.320
 And this at the ninth hour

00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:49.960
 was the third and final time

00:11:49.960 --> 00:11:50.740
 of prayer

00:11:50.740 --> 00:11:52.340
 for a Jewish individual.

00:11:53.299 --> 00:11:54.460
 It would happen,

00:11:54.560 --> 00:11:55.340
 it would coincide

00:11:55.340 --> 00:11:56.360
 with about three o'clock

00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:57.179
 in the afternoon.

00:11:57.980 --> 00:11:58.580
 It would begin

00:11:58.580 --> 00:11:59.940
 the first hour of prayer

00:11:59.940 --> 00:12:02.379
 was happening there at,

00:12:03.139 --> 00:12:04.240
 actually it was the third hour

00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:04.580
 of prayer.

00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:05.200
 It was happening

00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:06.680
 in the morning

00:12:06.680 --> 00:12:07.860
 around nine o'clock

00:12:07.860 --> 00:12:08.399
 in the morning.

00:12:08.620 --> 00:12:09.840
 Then three hours later

00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:10.379
 there'd be another

00:12:10.379 --> 00:12:11.759
 designated time of prayer

00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:12.500
 at noon.

00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:13.700
 And then three hours later

00:12:13.700 --> 00:12:14.720
 at three would be

00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:15.820
 this other and final

00:12:15.820 --> 00:12:16.860
 time of prayer.

00:12:17.899 --> 00:12:18.919
 This time of prayer

00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:21.120
 was also coincided

00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:21.940
 with the morning

00:12:21.940 --> 00:12:23.200
 and evening sacrifice.

00:12:23.899 --> 00:12:24.940
 A time where the priest

00:12:24.940 --> 00:12:25.919
 would go into the temple,

00:12:26.019 --> 00:12:26.639
 he would offer

00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:28.159
 a sacrifice of a lamb.

00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:30.060
 It was a symbol

00:12:30.060 --> 00:12:31.560
 of the forgiveness

00:12:31.560 --> 00:12:33.039
 that God was offering

00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:33.600
 his people

00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:35.399
 through himself.

00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:38.179
 also in the morning

00:12:38.179 --> 00:12:38.959
 and the evening

00:12:38.959 --> 00:12:40.360
 were the time

00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:42.939
 where incense

00:12:42.939 --> 00:12:43.919
 was being burned

00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:45.500
 at nine o'clock

00:12:45.500 --> 00:12:46.399
 and at three o'clock.

00:12:46.819 --> 00:12:47.379
 You remember this

00:12:47.379 --> 00:12:48.439
 from Luke chapter one.

00:12:48.959 --> 00:12:49.500
 This is where

00:12:49.500 --> 00:12:50.220
 Zechariah,

00:12:50.299 --> 00:12:50.620
 you remember,

00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:52.199
 during this time

00:12:52.199 --> 00:12:52.579
 of prayer

00:12:52.579 --> 00:12:53.779
 would go into the temple,

00:12:54.059 --> 00:12:55.259
 he would offer incense

00:12:55.259 --> 00:12:56.579
 at the holy place.

00:12:56.679 --> 00:12:57.759
 It was a picture

00:12:57.759 --> 00:12:58.399
 of God,

00:12:59.220 --> 00:12:59.819
 the prayers

00:12:59.819 --> 00:13:00.399
 that would ascend

00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:00.919
 to the Lord.

00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:02.360
 And so this was

00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:03.120
 the moment,

00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:03.899
 this was the moment

00:13:03.899 --> 00:13:04.599
 in the rhythm

00:13:04.599 --> 00:13:05.899
 of praying,

00:13:06.299 --> 00:13:07.360
 God's people coming

00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:08.120
 to pray.

00:13:09.059 --> 00:13:09.799
 I think what's important

00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:11.000
 for us to understand

00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:12.579
 is that while this

00:13:12.579 --> 00:13:13.719
 church age

00:13:13.719 --> 00:13:14.419
 was beginning,

00:13:15.500 --> 00:13:16.500
 these individuals

00:13:16.500 --> 00:13:17.259
 who had come

00:13:17.259 --> 00:13:17.860
 to Jerusalem

00:13:17.860 --> 00:13:18.939
 had not lost

00:13:18.939 --> 00:13:19.819
 their Jewishness.

00:13:20.579 --> 00:13:21.459
 They had not lost

00:13:21.459 --> 00:13:21.959
 the rhythm

00:13:21.959 --> 00:13:23.059
 of the things

00:13:23.059 --> 00:13:23.759
 that God had

00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:24.740
 called them to do.

00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:26.719
 And even in the

00:13:26.719 --> 00:13:28.019
 mundane things,

00:13:28.019 --> 00:13:29.399
 the ordinary things,

00:13:29.480 --> 00:13:30.439
 the routine things,

00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:31.280
 here they are

00:13:31.280 --> 00:13:32.680
 again offering

00:13:32.680 --> 00:13:34.120
 prayers to God.

00:13:34.760 --> 00:13:35.480
 And now,

00:13:36.020 --> 00:13:37.200
 it captured

00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:38.140
 new meaning,

00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:39.400
 it had new purpose,

00:13:39.560 --> 00:13:40.280
 they were doing

00:13:40.280 --> 00:13:41.200
 it with new energy,

00:13:41.380 --> 00:13:42.320
 they were doing it

00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:43.740
 with renewed hope

00:13:43.740 --> 00:13:44.680
 because of what

00:13:44.680 --> 00:13:45.660
 God had accomplished

00:13:45.660 --> 00:13:46.180
 for them

00:13:46.180 --> 00:13:47.260
 in salvation.

00:13:47.940 --> 00:13:48.700
 It amplified

00:13:48.700 --> 00:13:49.440
 their worship.

00:13:50.680 --> 00:13:51.300
 And in this way,

00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:51.860
 it's important

00:13:51.860 --> 00:13:52.620
 to note that

00:13:52.620 --> 00:13:53.600
 structure

00:13:53.600 --> 00:13:55.200
 and routine

00:13:55.200 --> 00:13:56.500
 can be beneficial,

00:13:57.160 --> 00:13:57.940
 it can be helpful.

00:13:58.720 --> 00:13:59.520
 Those routines

00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:00.299
 that we develop

00:14:00.299 --> 00:14:02.699
 maybe once a week

00:14:02.699 --> 00:14:03.519
 as we come to church

00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:04.079
 on a Sunday

00:14:04.079 --> 00:14:04.860
 or the routines

00:14:04.860 --> 00:14:05.740
 that you have

00:14:05.740 --> 00:14:07.179
 in spending time

00:14:07.179 --> 00:14:07.759
 with the Lord

00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:08.620
 in prayer

00:14:08.620 --> 00:14:09.980
 and in Bible reading,

00:14:10.079 --> 00:14:11.259
 while they may seem

00:14:11.259 --> 00:14:12.799
 kind of routine

00:14:12.799 --> 00:14:13.539
 and pattern,

00:14:14.439 --> 00:14:15.299
 God can use

00:14:15.299 --> 00:14:16.379
 those patterns,

00:14:16.620 --> 00:14:17.259
 those routines

00:14:17.259 --> 00:14:18.939
 to encourage your heart

00:14:18.939 --> 00:14:19.460
 to do,

00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:21.179
 to do the things

00:14:21.179 --> 00:14:21.980
 He's called you to do

00:14:21.980 --> 00:14:23.679
 and help to amplify

00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:25.240
 worship to God.

00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:27.100
 And Peter and John

00:14:27.100 --> 00:14:27.820
 have come together.

00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:28.480
 We're going to see

00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:29.299
 this duo.

00:14:29.460 --> 00:14:30.820
 They are regularly

00:14:30.820 --> 00:14:31.539
 together.

00:14:32.100 --> 00:14:32.759
 And we're going to see

00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:34.159
 that as we move

00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:36.320
 through this book.

00:14:36.940 --> 00:14:37.899
 We'll see them here

00:14:37.899 --> 00:14:39.180
 in Acts chapter 3.

00:14:39.259 --> 00:14:40.019
 We're going to see

00:14:40.019 --> 00:14:41.340
 them again in chapter 4.

00:14:41.580 --> 00:14:42.379
 They're arrested

00:14:42.379 --> 00:14:43.100
 together.

00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:44.060
 We're going to see

00:14:44.060 --> 00:14:45.000
 them in chapter 8

00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:45.600
 where they go up

00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:46.659
 to Samaria together.

00:14:47.180 --> 00:14:48.500
 This group,

00:14:48.620 --> 00:14:49.180
 this duo,

00:14:49.580 --> 00:14:50.379
 Peter and John

00:14:50.379 --> 00:14:51.159
 happen to do

00:14:51.159 --> 00:14:52.720
 ministry together.

00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:54.639
 But it was an

00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:55.320
 ordinary day.

00:14:56.399 --> 00:14:57.960
 It's an ordinary day.

00:14:58.920 --> 00:14:59.779
 And God will do

00:14:59.779 --> 00:15:01.399
 some of His greatest

00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:02.899
 work in your life

00:15:02.899 --> 00:15:03.779
 and through your life

00:15:03.779 --> 00:15:05.580
 on ordinary days,

00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:07.519
 on mundane days,

00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:09.300
 the unexpected days.

00:15:09.379 --> 00:15:10.000
 You're working

00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:10.920
 through the rhythms

00:15:10.920 --> 00:15:12.019
 of life

00:15:12.019 --> 00:15:13.279
 and all of a sudden

00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:14.940
 this unexpected

00:15:14.940 --> 00:15:16.360
 opportunity will come.

00:15:17.100 --> 00:15:18.139
 Will we serve

00:15:18.139 --> 00:15:18.660
 the Lord

00:15:18.660 --> 00:15:20.700
 and have eyes

00:15:20.700 --> 00:15:21.360
 that are open

00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:22.860
 to ordinary,

00:15:23.100 --> 00:15:24.259
 ordinary days?

00:15:25.100 --> 00:15:25.639
 Well, it wasn't

00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:26.680
 just an ordinary day.

00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:27.840
 We're going to see

00:15:27.840 --> 00:15:28.700
 in verses 2 to 5

00:15:28.700 --> 00:15:29.200
 that it was an

00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:30.220
 opportune moment.

00:15:30.560 --> 00:15:31.399
 An opportune moment.

00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:31.700
 Notice,

00:15:32.259 --> 00:15:32.919
 verse 2 says,

00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:34.000
 a lame man from birth

00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:34.820
 was being carried

00:15:34.820 --> 00:15:35.919
 whom they laid daily

00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:36.919
 at the gate of the temple

00:15:36.919 --> 00:15:37.800
 that is called

00:15:37.800 --> 00:15:38.560
 the beautiful gate

00:15:38.560 --> 00:15:40.100
 to ask alms

00:15:40.100 --> 00:15:40.639
 of those entering

00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:41.080
 the temple.

00:15:41.560 --> 00:15:42.519
 Seeing Peter and John

00:15:42.519 --> 00:15:43.580
 about to go into the temple,

00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:45.420
 he asked to receive alms.

00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:46.860
 And Peter directed

00:15:46.860 --> 00:15:47.659
 his gaze at him

00:15:47.659 --> 00:15:49.180
 as did John

00:15:49.180 --> 00:15:49.980
 and said,

00:15:50.060 --> 00:15:50.740
 look at us.

00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:52.440
 And he fixed his attention

00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:52.980
 on them

00:15:52.980 --> 00:15:54.759
 expecting to receive

00:15:54.759 --> 00:15:55.879
 something from them.

00:15:56.919 --> 00:15:57.860
 They encountered

00:15:57.860 --> 00:15:58.440
 this man,

00:15:58.560 --> 00:15:59.220
 this lame man

00:15:59.220 --> 00:16:00.800
 who is being carried

00:16:00.800 --> 00:16:02.919
 to this position

00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:03.899
 where he was going

00:16:03.899 --> 00:16:04.919
 to ask for alms.

00:16:06.519 --> 00:16:08.060
 This being carried

00:16:08.060 --> 00:16:09.220
 helps us understand

00:16:09.220 --> 00:16:10.440
 that he was still

00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:11.100
 in transit.

00:16:11.100 --> 00:16:12.240
 It was still

00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:13.440
 in process.

00:16:13.659 --> 00:16:14.800
 He hadn't quite arrived

00:16:14.800 --> 00:16:16.080
 at his spot yet.

00:16:16.300 --> 00:16:17.379
 But seeing Peter

00:16:17.379 --> 00:16:17.920
 and John,

00:16:18.060 --> 00:16:19.460
 he capitalizes

00:16:19.460 --> 00:16:20.259
 on this moment

00:16:20.259 --> 00:16:22.139
 to ask for some help.

00:16:23.220 --> 00:16:24.120
 Here we are

00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:24.900
 at the beautiful gate.

00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:27.440
 This is a perfect place

00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:28.820
 to ask for alms.

00:16:28.860 --> 00:16:29.580
 This is one of the

00:16:29.580 --> 00:16:30.639
 three places

00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:31.300
 we find throughout

00:16:31.300 --> 00:16:32.000
 the Gospels

00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:34.019
 that beggars

00:16:34.019 --> 00:16:34.580
 will come.

00:16:35.400 --> 00:16:37.019
 They find themselves

00:16:37.019 --> 00:16:37.879
 either asking

00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:40.340
 from rich men

00:16:40.340 --> 00:16:41.320
 like Lazarus

00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:42.580
 did to the rich man

00:16:42.580 --> 00:16:44.160
 sitting at his house

00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:45.740
 or coming to

00:16:45.740 --> 00:16:47.139
 very populated areas

00:16:47.139 --> 00:16:47.719
 the highways

00:16:47.719 --> 00:16:48.500
 and byways

00:16:48.500 --> 00:16:50.439
 to try to capitalize

00:16:50.439 --> 00:16:51.439
 on people

00:16:51.439 --> 00:16:52.980
 who are moving past

00:16:52.980 --> 00:16:54.439
 or in the temple

00:16:54.439 --> 00:16:55.199
 whether it was

00:16:55.199 --> 00:16:56.059
 at the beautiful gate

00:16:56.059 --> 00:16:56.839
 or other places

00:16:56.839 --> 00:16:57.899
 at the temple

00:16:57.899 --> 00:16:59.299
 so they could ask

00:16:59.299 --> 00:16:59.860
 for help.

00:17:00.719 --> 00:17:01.699
 We find that he was

00:17:01.699 --> 00:17:02.679
 crippled from birth.

00:17:03.339 --> 00:17:04.599
 Lame from birth.

00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:06.159
 His case

00:17:06.159 --> 00:17:07.460
 was hopeless.

00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:09.059
 He had experienced

00:17:09.059 --> 00:17:09.839
 this affliction.

00:17:10.399 --> 00:17:10.940
 This affliction

00:17:10.940 --> 00:17:12.139
 that no doctor

00:17:12.140 --> 00:17:14.020
 and no other individual

00:17:14.020 --> 00:17:15.140
 could help to resolve.

00:17:16.340 --> 00:17:17.040
 And here he was

00:17:17.040 --> 00:17:17.580
 a man

00:17:17.580 --> 00:17:18.800
 who we find

00:17:18.800 --> 00:17:20.560
 in chapter 4

00:17:20.560 --> 00:17:21.120
 verse 22

00:17:21.120 --> 00:17:22.060
 he's been lame

00:17:22.060 --> 00:17:23.540
 not just for a little bit

00:17:23.540 --> 00:17:23.940
 of time

00:17:23.940 --> 00:17:24.860
 he's been lame

00:17:24.860 --> 00:17:26.140
 since birth

00:17:26.140 --> 00:17:26.960
 and he's

00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:28.640
 40 years old.

00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:30.860
 This was part

00:17:30.860 --> 00:17:32.140
 of his routine.

00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:33.640
 His situation

00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:34.700
 seemed hopeless.

00:17:35.460 --> 00:17:36.040
 And his condition

00:17:36.040 --> 00:17:36.820
 was well known

00:17:36.820 --> 00:17:37.900
 to those

00:17:37.900 --> 00:17:38.400
 who were there

00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:38.980
 in Jerusalem.

00:17:39.280 --> 00:17:39.740
 We find that

00:17:39.740 --> 00:17:40.340
 in verse 10.

00:17:41.020 --> 00:17:41.240
 It says

00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:41.940
 they recognized

00:17:41.940 --> 00:17:43.100
 him as the same

00:17:43.100 --> 00:17:44.200
 man who used

00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:44.900
 to sit begging

00:17:44.900 --> 00:17:45.660
 at the temple

00:17:45.660 --> 00:17:47.539
 gate called

00:17:47.539 --> 00:17:48.100
 beautiful.

00:17:49.299 --> 00:17:50.279
 It's fascinating

00:17:50.279 --> 00:17:51.059
 to think.

00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:52.480
 I wonder

00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:53.640
 how many times

00:17:53.640 --> 00:17:54.820
 Peter and John

00:17:54.820 --> 00:17:56.200
 having gone

00:17:56.200 --> 00:17:57.039
 up to the temple

00:17:57.039 --> 00:17:57.640
 had passed

00:17:57.640 --> 00:17:58.960
 this very lame

00:17:58.960 --> 00:17:59.960
 man as he was

00:17:59.960 --> 00:18:00.440
 sitting there.

00:18:01.680 --> 00:18:02.340
 I wonder

00:18:02.340 --> 00:18:03.680
 how many times

00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:04.820
 had Jesus

00:18:04.820 --> 00:18:06.420
 in the three years

00:18:06.420 --> 00:18:07.460
 of his public

00:18:07.460 --> 00:18:08.019
 ministry

00:18:08.019 --> 00:18:09.080
 having gone

00:18:09.080 --> 00:18:09.900
 up to the temple

00:18:09.900 --> 00:18:11.200
 this same

00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:12.280
 lame man

00:18:12.280 --> 00:18:13.280
 sitting at this

00:18:13.280 --> 00:18:13.759
 beautiful gate

00:18:13.759 --> 00:18:14.600
 how many times

00:18:14.600 --> 00:18:15.380
 had Jesus

00:18:15.380 --> 00:18:16.640
 passed this

00:18:16.640 --> 00:18:17.259
 lame man

00:18:17.259 --> 00:18:18.300
 and knew

00:18:18.300 --> 00:18:19.519
 in his mind

00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:20.860
 this day

00:18:20.860 --> 00:18:21.680
 was going to come.

00:18:23.340 --> 00:18:24.180
 I wonder

00:18:24.180 --> 00:18:25.140
 how many times

00:18:25.140 --> 00:18:26.320
 the religious

00:18:26.320 --> 00:18:27.100
 men and women

00:18:27.100 --> 00:18:27.560
 who were

00:18:27.560 --> 00:18:28.519
 moving up

00:18:28.519 --> 00:18:29.080
 to the temple

00:18:29.080 --> 00:18:30.160
 didn't even bother

00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:32.000
 giving a glance

00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:33.120
 at this man

00:18:33.120 --> 00:18:33.759
 who was sitting

00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:34.340
 there.

00:18:35.180 --> 00:18:36.240
 But here we find

00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:36.940
 Peter and John

00:18:36.940 --> 00:18:38.019
 on this occasion

00:18:38.019 --> 00:18:38.740
 they stopped

00:18:38.740 --> 00:18:39.539
 they looked

00:18:39.539 --> 00:18:40.240
 and they speak

00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:40.759
 they address

00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:41.319
 this man

00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:42.000
 and get his

00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:42.420
 attention.

00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:45.059
 Typically donors

00:18:45.059 --> 00:18:46.180
 would flip a coin

00:18:46.180 --> 00:18:48.379
 at a beggar

00:18:48.379 --> 00:18:49.200
 on their way

00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:50.139
 into the temple

00:18:50.139 --> 00:18:51.299
 but on this

00:18:51.299 --> 00:18:51.740
 occasion

00:18:51.740 --> 00:18:52.819
 Peter fixes

00:18:52.819 --> 00:18:53.319
 his gaze

00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:53.759
 on him

00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:54.819
 and he says

00:18:54.819 --> 00:18:55.200
 look

00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:56.740
 look at me

00:18:56.740 --> 00:18:57.599
 this was not

00:18:57.599 --> 00:18:57.960
 going to be

00:18:57.960 --> 00:18:58.720
 just a chance

00:18:58.720 --> 00:18:59.440
 occasion

00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:00.559
 this was going

00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:01.200
 to be a deliberate

00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:01.779
 opportunity

00:19:01.779 --> 00:19:02.480
 that Peter

00:19:02.480 --> 00:19:03.019
 will capitalize

00:19:03.019 --> 00:19:03.420
 on.

00:19:04.500 --> 00:19:04.980
 No doubt

00:19:04.980 --> 00:19:05.379
 this man

00:19:05.379 --> 00:19:05.960
 is expecting

00:19:05.960 --> 00:19:07.279
 some temporary

00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:07.759
 relief

00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:08.960
 he's in

00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:09.579
 dire straits

00:19:09.579 --> 00:19:10.079
 he needs

00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:10.819
 some help

00:19:10.819 --> 00:19:11.759
 and no wonder

00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:12.359
 now that he's

00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:12.839
 getting some

00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:13.460
 attention from

00:19:13.460 --> 00:19:14.079
 Peter and John

00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:15.559
 there's no doubt

00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:16.259
 that he is

00:19:16.259 --> 00:19:17.319
 expecting something

00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:18.539
 to happen

00:19:18.539 --> 00:19:19.140
 and to come

00:19:19.140 --> 00:19:19.599
 his way.

00:19:21.819 --> 00:19:22.619
 Peter is going

00:19:22.619 --> 00:19:23.099
 to capitalize

00:19:23.099 --> 00:19:23.720
 on this

00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:24.500
 but I wonder

00:19:24.500 --> 00:19:25.879
 I wonder

00:19:25.879 --> 00:19:27.019
 how many of us

00:19:27.019 --> 00:19:27.619
 would have missed

00:19:27.619 --> 00:19:28.960
 this opportunity.

00:19:30.779 --> 00:19:31.519
 Just a couple

00:19:31.519 --> 00:19:32.019
 days ago

00:19:32.019 --> 00:19:32.559
 on Friday

00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:33.859
 I was on my

00:19:33.859 --> 00:19:34.559
 way back

00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:35.599
 from Cedarville

00:19:35.599 --> 00:19:36.200
 on my way

00:19:36.200 --> 00:19:37.400
 back to Columbus

00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:38.960
 and as I

00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:39.480
 was getting

00:19:39.480 --> 00:19:40.360
 on to the

00:19:40.360 --> 00:19:41.160
 on ramp

00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:41.640
 to get

00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:42.259
 on to the

00:19:42.259 --> 00:19:42.759
 freeway

00:19:42.759 --> 00:19:43.620
 there was a

00:19:43.620 --> 00:19:44.500
 man with a

00:19:44.500 --> 00:19:45.420
 sign standing

00:19:45.420 --> 00:19:46.920
 there on the

00:19:46.920 --> 00:19:48.380
 on ramp

00:19:48.380 --> 00:19:49.000
 and it said

00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:49.540
 Columbus

00:19:49.540 --> 00:19:51.840
 and he's

00:19:51.840 --> 00:19:52.420
 standing there

00:19:52.420 --> 00:19:52.960
 he's got his

00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:53.759
 backpack there

00:19:53.759 --> 00:19:54.519
 and I noticed

00:19:54.519 --> 00:19:54.840
 him

00:19:54.840 --> 00:19:56.220
 and in this

00:19:56.220 --> 00:19:57.360
 split moment

00:19:57.360 --> 00:19:57.640
 this

00:19:57.640 --> 00:20:00.280
 very brief

00:20:00.280 --> 00:20:00.680
 moment

00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:01.700
 I'm trying

00:20:01.700 --> 00:20:02.380
 to process

00:20:02.380 --> 00:20:02.900
 what I'm

00:20:02.900 --> 00:20:03.560
 about to do

00:20:03.560 --> 00:20:04.140
 and I'm

00:20:04.140 --> 00:20:05.060
 driving up

00:20:05.059 --> 00:20:05.299
 up the

00:20:05.299 --> 00:20:06.460
 on ramp

00:20:06.460 --> 00:20:06.960
 and by the

00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:07.700
 time I finally

00:20:07.700 --> 00:20:08.179
 decide

00:20:08.179 --> 00:20:08.579
 you know what

00:20:08.579 --> 00:20:08.940
 it would probably

00:20:08.940 --> 00:20:10.159
 be a good idea

00:20:10.159 --> 00:20:11.039
 for me to

00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:12.179
 pick this guy up

00:20:12.179 --> 00:20:12.579
 and take him

00:20:12.579 --> 00:20:13.000
 to Columbus

00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:14.480
 I was already

00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:15.299
 on the freeway

00:20:15.299 --> 00:20:16.319
 making my way

00:20:16.319 --> 00:20:18.279
 in my heart

00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:18.919
 there was not

00:20:18.919 --> 00:20:19.519
 a readiness

00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:21.079
 in my heart

00:20:21.079 --> 00:20:21.599
 there wasn't

00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:21.980
 quite

00:20:21.980 --> 00:20:23.079
 an awareness

00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:24.619
 I had things

00:20:24.619 --> 00:20:25.240
 on my mind

00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:25.819
 there were

00:20:25.819 --> 00:20:27.079
 things to do

00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:27.579
 there were

00:20:27.579 --> 00:20:28.740
 pressures ahead

00:20:28.740 --> 00:20:29.980
 there was a

00:20:29.980 --> 00:20:30.779
 desire to

00:20:30.779 --> 00:20:31.679
 get home

00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:32.779
 and because

00:20:32.779 --> 00:20:34.160
 of not

00:20:34.160 --> 00:20:35.480
 being ready

00:20:35.480 --> 00:20:36.180
 and not

00:20:36.180 --> 00:20:36.759
 being aware

00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:38.140
 I missed

00:20:38.140 --> 00:20:38.720
 an opportunity

00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:40.600
 I wonder

00:20:40.600 --> 00:20:41.180
 how many

00:20:41.180 --> 00:20:42.279
 mundane

00:20:42.279 --> 00:20:43.759
 opportunities

00:20:43.759 --> 00:20:44.740
 we have

00:20:44.740 --> 00:20:46.100
 moment by

00:20:46.100 --> 00:20:46.440
 moment

00:20:46.440 --> 00:20:46.940
 day by

00:20:46.940 --> 00:20:47.299
 day

00:20:47.299 --> 00:20:48.220
 that we

00:20:48.220 --> 00:20:48.900
 just pass

00:20:48.900 --> 00:20:49.460
 right on

00:20:49.460 --> 00:20:49.759
 by

00:20:49.759 --> 00:20:51.799
 but Peter

00:20:51.799 --> 00:20:52.320
 and John

00:20:52.320 --> 00:20:52.880
 they step

00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:53.180
 in

00:20:53.180 --> 00:20:54.100
 they step

00:20:54.100 --> 00:20:54.759
 into this

00:20:54.759 --> 00:20:55.100
 moment

00:20:55.100 --> 00:20:56.759
 and they

00:20:56.759 --> 00:20:57.420
 are willing

00:20:57.420 --> 00:20:58.240
 to address

00:20:58.240 --> 00:20:59.500
 this man's

00:20:59.500 --> 00:21:00.700

00:21:00.700 --> 00:21:01.700
 lameness

00:21:01.700 --> 00:21:03.740
 how easy

00:21:03.740 --> 00:21:04.360
 might it have

00:21:04.360 --> 00:21:04.940
 been for

00:21:04.940 --> 00:21:05.380
 Peter and

00:21:05.380 --> 00:21:05.759
 John to

00:21:05.759 --> 00:21:06.220
 say hey

 way to

 pray

00:21:09.299 --> 00:21:10.819
 or hey

 I'm going

00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:12.519
 to the

00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:12.900
 temple

00:21:12.900 --> 00:21:13.360
 right now

00:21:13.360 --> 00:21:13.640
 I've got

00:21:13.640 --> 00:21:14.380
 some really

00:21:14.380 --> 00:21:14.900
 important

00:21:14.900 --> 00:21:15.720
 spiritual

00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:16.440
 things to

00:21:16.440 --> 00:21:16.900

00:21:16.900 --> 00:21:17.220
 now

00:21:17.220 --> 00:21:19.019
 or how many

00:21:19.019 --> 00:21:19.620
 might have

00:21:19.620 --> 00:21:19.900
 said

00:21:19.900 --> 00:21:21.100
 you've been

00:21:21.100 --> 00:21:22.220
 here for

00:21:22.220 --> 00:21:23.080
 40 years

00:21:23.080 --> 00:21:23.819
 every single

00:21:23.819 --> 00:21:24.480
 day I see

00:21:24.480 --> 00:21:24.740
 you here

00:21:24.740 --> 00:21:25.539
 I'm sure

00:21:25.539 --> 00:21:25.880
 I'm going

00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:26.240
 to see you

00:21:27.519 --> 00:21:27.799
 way

00:21:27.799 --> 00:21:28.420
 Jesus

00:21:28.420 --> 00:21:29.019
 didn't heal

00:21:29.019 --> 00:21:29.240
 you

00:21:29.240 --> 00:21:30.259
 so I guess

00:21:30.259 --> 00:21:31.660
 tough luck

00:21:31.660 --> 00:21:33.400
 it'd been

00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:34.000
 very easy

00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:35.299
 to have

00:21:35.299 --> 00:21:35.879
 passed him

00:21:35.879 --> 00:21:36.299

00:22:57.960 --> 00:22:58.139
 have

00:22:58.139 --> 00:22:58.359
 it would

00:22:58.359 --> 00:22:58.559
 have been

00:22:58.559 --> 00:22:59.359
 very easy

00:22:59.359 --> 00:23:00.339
 for Peter

00:23:00.339 --> 00:23:00.980
 to have

00:23:00.980 --> 00:23:01.700
 made excuses

00:23:01.700 --> 00:23:02.119
 but they

00:23:02.119 --> 00:23:02.500
 didn't

00:23:02.500 --> 00:23:03.339
 they didn't

00:23:03.339 --> 00:23:04.039
 make excuses

00:23:04.039 --> 00:23:05.279
 it would

00:23:05.279 --> 00:23:05.480
 have been

00:23:05.480 --> 00:23:06.119
 very easy

00:23:06.119 --> 00:23:06.559
 for Peter

00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:06.779
 to have

00:23:06.779 --> 00:23:06.879
 said

 going to

00:23:13.659 --> 00:23:13.940
 be on

00:23:13.940 --> 00:23:14.460
 my way

00:23:14.460 --> 00:23:15.740
 no but

00:23:15.740 --> 00:23:16.519
 what Peter

00:23:16.519 --> 00:23:17.039
 does

00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:17.899
 and he

00:23:17.899 --> 00:23:18.639
 models this

00:23:18.639 --> 00:23:19.539
 along with

00:23:19.539 --> 00:23:19.859
 John

00:23:19.859 --> 00:23:20.779
 they're willing

00:23:20.779 --> 00:23:21.119
 to give

00:23:21.119 --> 00:23:21.359
 what they

00:23:21.359 --> 00:23:21.639
 have

00:23:21.639 --> 00:23:23.000
 Peter

00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:23.579
 makes two

00:23:23.579 --> 00:23:24.000
 statements

00:23:24.000 --> 00:23:24.539
 that I'm

00:23:24.539 --> 00:23:24.920
 sure would

00:23:24.920 --> 00:23:25.360
 have shocked

00:23:25.360 --> 00:23:26.060
 this man

00:23:26.060 --> 00:23:26.779
 I have

00:23:26.779 --> 00:23:27.340
 no silver

00:23:27.340 --> 00:23:28.580
 and no gold

00:23:28.580 --> 00:23:29.620
 but what I

00:23:29.620 --> 00:23:30.200
 have I

00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:31.100
 will give

00:23:31.100 --> 00:23:32.560
 I don't

00:23:32.560 --> 00:23:32.740
 know what

00:23:32.740 --> 00:23:33.100
 you're asking

00:23:33.100 --> 00:23:33.460
 for

00:23:33.460 --> 00:23:34.900
 or I don't

00:23:34.900 --> 00:23:35.279
 have what

00:23:35.279 --> 00:23:35.700
 you're asking

00:23:35.700 --> 00:23:36.279
 for but I've

00:23:36.279 --> 00:23:37.140
 got something

00:23:37.140 --> 00:23:37.880
 better

00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:38.539
 I've got

00:23:38.539 --> 00:23:38.800
 something

00:23:38.800 --> 00:23:39.180
 better

00:23:39.180 --> 00:23:40.820
 and what I

00:23:40.820 --> 00:23:41.759
 have I'm

00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:42.160
 going to

00:23:42.160 --> 00:23:42.900
 extend to

00:23:42.900 --> 00:23:43.039
 you

00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:43.360
 in this

00:23:43.360 --> 00:23:44.080
 important

00:23:44.080 --> 00:23:44.519
 phrase

00:23:44.519 --> 00:23:45.400
 what I

00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:46.000
 have I

00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:46.500
 give to

00:23:46.500 --> 00:23:46.820
 you

00:23:46.820 --> 00:23:48.519
 it's similar

00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:48.960
 to what the

00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:49.620
 apostle Paul

00:23:49.620 --> 00:23:50.560
 will say

00:23:50.560 --> 00:23:51.380
 to the

00:23:51.380 --> 00:23:52.759
 Thessalonians

00:23:52.759 --> 00:23:53.960
 in 1st

00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:54.420
 Thessalonica

00:23:54.420 --> 00:23:56.160
 chapter 2

00:23:56.160 --> 00:23:56.519
 verse 8

00:23:56.519 --> 00:23:56.880
 he says

00:23:56.880 --> 00:23:57.820
 so being

00:23:57.820 --> 00:23:58.440
 affectionately

00:23:58.440 --> 00:23:59.960
 desirous

00:23:59.960 --> 00:24:00.420
 of you

00:24:00.420 --> 00:24:01.320
 we were

00:24:01.320 --> 00:24:01.840
 ready to

00:24:01.840 --> 00:24:02.259
 share with

00:24:02.259 --> 00:24:02.480
 you

00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:03.340
 not only

00:24:03.340 --> 00:24:04.019
 the gospel

00:24:04.019 --> 00:24:05.160
 of God

00:24:05.160 --> 00:24:05.860
 but also

00:24:05.860 --> 00:24:06.480
 our own

00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:07.100
 selves

00:24:07.100 --> 00:24:08.680
 that's the

00:24:08.680 --> 00:24:09.279
 essence of

00:24:09.279 --> 00:24:09.600
 Christian

00:24:09.600 --> 00:24:10.100
 ministry

00:24:10.100 --> 00:24:11.320
 the essence

00:24:11.320 --> 00:24:11.800
 of Christian

00:24:11.800 --> 00:24:12.140
 ministry

00:24:12.140 --> 00:24:12.640
 is to

00:24:12.640 --> 00:24:13.039
 give

00:24:13.039 --> 00:24:13.880
 what God

00:24:13.880 --> 00:24:14.480
 has entrusted

00:24:14.480 --> 00:24:15.000
 to you

00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:16.160
 especially

00:24:16.160 --> 00:24:17.080
 the grace

00:24:17.080 --> 00:24:17.800
 that you

00:24:17.800 --> 00:24:18.640
 have enjoyed

00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:19.680
 the benefits

00:24:19.680 --> 00:24:20.820
 of God's

00:24:20.820 --> 00:24:21.340
 goodness

00:24:21.339 --> 00:24:22.240
 and kindness

00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:23.179
 first

00:24:23.179 --> 00:24:23.919
 in Jesus

00:24:23.919 --> 00:24:24.799
 of giving

00:24:24.799 --> 00:24:25.599
 himself

00:24:25.599 --> 00:24:26.480
 of forgiving

00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:27.199
 you of your

00:24:27.199 --> 00:24:27.599
 sins

00:24:27.599 --> 00:24:28.579
 of bringing

00:24:28.579 --> 00:24:29.139
 you to the

00:24:29.139 --> 00:24:29.559
 point of

00:24:29.559 --> 00:24:30.119
 salvation

00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:30.899
 and to

00:24:30.899 --> 00:24:32.159
 extend that

00:24:32.159 --> 00:24:32.980
 blessing to

00:24:32.980 --> 00:24:33.539
 those around

00:24:33.539 --> 00:24:33.819
 you

00:24:33.819 --> 00:24:34.659
 but also

00:24:34.659 --> 00:24:36.079
 the benefits

00:24:36.079 --> 00:24:37.220
 the physical

00:24:37.220 --> 00:24:38.139
 and financial

00:24:38.139 --> 00:24:39.480
 benefits that

00:24:39.480 --> 00:24:40.000
 God has given

00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:40.559
 to us

00:24:40.559 --> 00:24:41.539
 to step

00:24:41.539 --> 00:24:41.879
 in

00:24:41.879 --> 00:24:43.500
 to give

00:24:43.500 --> 00:24:43.740
 what we

00:24:43.740 --> 00:24:44.199
 have

00:24:44.199 --> 00:24:45.679
 this is what

00:24:45.679 --> 00:24:46.079
 I love

00:24:46.079 --> 00:24:46.699
 we're not

00:24:46.699 --> 00:24:48.139
 ever expected

00:24:48.139 --> 00:24:48.839
 to give

00:24:48.839 --> 00:24:49.299
 what you

00:24:49.299 --> 00:24:49.559
 don't

00:24:49.559 --> 00:24:49.899
 have

00:24:49.899 --> 00:24:51.059
 but God

00:24:51.059 --> 00:24:51.500
 wants to

00:24:51.500 --> 00:24:51.879
 take

00:24:51.879 --> 00:24:52.359
 and to

00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:52.799
 multiply

00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:53.639
 the little

00:24:53.639 --> 00:24:54.259
 perhaps

00:24:54.259 --> 00:24:54.579
 that you

00:24:54.579 --> 00:24:55.119
 do have

00:24:55.119 --> 00:24:55.619
 and he

00:24:55.619 --> 00:24:56.700
 can use

00:24:56.700 --> 00:24:56.980
 that

00:24:56.980 --> 00:24:57.779
 instrumentally

00:24:57.779 --> 00:24:58.539
 to change

00:24:58.539 --> 00:24:59.299
 the people

00:24:59.299 --> 00:25:00.000
 around you

00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:01.200
 just give

00:25:01.200 --> 00:25:01.539
 what you

00:25:01.539 --> 00:25:02.000
 have

00:25:02.000 --> 00:25:03.639
 I think

00:25:03.639 --> 00:25:03.980
 Peter

00:25:03.980 --> 00:25:05.220
 was prepared

00:25:05.220 --> 00:25:05.659
 in that

00:25:05.659 --> 00:25:06.039
 moment

00:25:06.039 --> 00:25:06.720
 to address

00:25:06.720 --> 00:25:08.039
 this situation

00:25:08.039 --> 00:25:09.220
 to allow

00:25:09.220 --> 00:25:09.879
 this very

00:25:09.879 --> 00:25:10.480
 personal

00:25:10.480 --> 00:25:11.019
 ministry

00:25:11.019 --> 00:25:11.500
 to happen

00:25:11.500 --> 00:25:12.599
 because Peter

00:25:12.599 --> 00:25:13.240
 himself

00:25:13.240 --> 00:25:14.359
 had experienced

00:25:14.359 --> 00:25:15.200
 the personal

00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:15.639
 ministry

00:25:15.639 --> 00:25:16.019
 of the Lord

00:25:16.019 --> 00:25:16.359
 Jesus

00:25:16.359 --> 00:25:18.019
 and experiencing

00:25:18.019 --> 00:25:19.220
 that ministry

00:25:19.220 --> 00:25:19.900
 from a very

00:25:19.900 --> 00:25:20.600
 personal

00:25:20.600 --> 00:25:21.100
 savior

00:25:21.100 --> 00:25:21.880
 Peter

00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:22.259
 is willing

00:25:22.259 --> 00:25:22.680
 to step

00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:23.019
 in

00:25:23.019 --> 00:25:24.740
 and express

00:25:24.740 --> 00:25:25.420
 a very

00:25:25.420 --> 00:25:25.940
 personal

00:25:25.940 --> 00:25:26.700
 ministry

00:25:26.700 --> 00:25:28.500
 it was

00:25:28.500 --> 00:25:28.839
 Jesus

00:25:28.839 --> 00:25:30.180
 who modeled

00:25:30.180 --> 00:25:30.700
 this to his

00:25:30.700 --> 00:25:31.220
 disciples

00:25:31.220 --> 00:25:32.759
 Peter

00:25:32.759 --> 00:25:33.579
 would see

00:25:33.579 --> 00:25:34.039
 have seen

00:25:34.039 --> 00:25:34.420
 this in the

00:25:34.420 --> 00:25:34.700
 life

00:25:34.700 --> 00:25:35.579
 in ministry

00:25:35.579 --> 00:25:36.160
 of Christ

00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:37.400
 Jesus

00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:38.480
 who mixes

00:25:38.480 --> 00:25:38.860
 it up

00:25:38.860 --> 00:25:39.180
 with all

00:25:39.180 --> 00:25:39.700
 kinds of

00:25:39.700 --> 00:25:40.039
 people

00:25:40.039 --> 00:25:40.640
 he's a

00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:40.940
 friend

00:25:40.940 --> 00:25:41.480
 of tax

00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:41.880
 collectors

00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:42.480
 and sinners

00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:43.200
 Peter

00:25:43.200 --> 00:25:43.779
 got to see

00:25:43.779 --> 00:25:43.960
 that

00:25:43.960 --> 00:25:44.539
 first hand

00:25:44.539 --> 00:25:46.400
 and Jesus

00:25:46.400 --> 00:25:46.819
 who gave

00:25:46.819 --> 00:25:47.220
 himself

00:25:47.220 --> 00:25:47.900
 personally

00:25:47.900 --> 00:25:48.420
 to people

00:25:48.420 --> 00:25:49.720
 he expended

00:25:49.720 --> 00:25:50.279
 himself

00:25:50.279 --> 00:25:51.380
 he served

00:25:51.380 --> 00:25:51.759
 people

00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:52.360
 late

00:25:52.360 --> 00:25:52.759
 into the

00:25:52.759 --> 00:25:53.000
 night

00:25:53.000 --> 00:25:53.640
 he was

00:25:53.640 --> 00:25:53.940
 willing

00:25:53.940 --> 00:25:54.800
 to serve

00:25:54.800 --> 00:25:55.200
 people

00:25:55.200 --> 00:25:55.460
 when it

00:25:55.460 --> 00:25:55.920
 was really

00:25:55.920 --> 00:25:56.460
 inconvenient

00:25:56.460 --> 00:25:57.320
 when he

00:25:57.320 --> 00:25:57.640
 was on

00:25:57.640 --> 00:25:58.180
 vacation

00:25:58.180 --> 00:25:58.720
 as it

00:25:58.720 --> 00:25:58.960
 were

00:25:58.960 --> 00:25:59.980
 and feeds

00:25:59.980 --> 00:26:00.900
 the 5,000

00:26:00.900 --> 00:26:01.539
 and it

00:26:01.539 --> 00:26:02.039
 was really

00:26:02.039 --> 00:26:02.640
 inconvenient

00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:03.080
 but the

00:26:03.080 --> 00:26:03.640
 crowds

00:26:03.640 --> 00:26:04.140
 just keep

00:26:04.140 --> 00:26:04.440
 coming

00:26:04.440 --> 00:26:04.980
 he wanted

00:26:04.980 --> 00:26:05.279
 to get

00:26:05.279 --> 00:26:05.500
 away

00:26:05.500 --> 00:26:05.820
 with his

00:26:05.820 --> 00:26:06.620
 disciples

00:26:06.620 --> 00:26:07.160
 but the

00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:07.539
 crowds

00:26:07.539 --> 00:26:07.840
 kept

00:26:07.840 --> 00:26:08.180
 coming

00:26:08.180 --> 00:26:08.620
 and what

00:26:08.620 --> 00:26:08.800
 does he

00:26:08.800 --> 00:26:08.980
 do

00:26:08.980 --> 00:26:09.400
 he doesn't

00:26:09.400 --> 00:26:09.720
 push

00:26:09.720 --> 00:26:10.240
 them away

00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:11.620
 he serves

00:26:11.620 --> 00:26:11.880
 them

00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:13.420
 and Peter

00:26:13.420 --> 00:26:13.680
 would have

00:26:13.680 --> 00:26:14.220
 seen this

00:26:14.220 --> 00:26:15.440
 this model

00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:15.840
 of the

00:26:15.840 --> 00:26:16.019
 Lord

00:26:16.019 --> 00:26:16.420
 Jesus

00:26:16.420 --> 00:26:17.420
 he was

00:26:17.420 --> 00:26:17.640
 willing

00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:17.960
 to have

00:26:17.960 --> 00:26:18.580
 personal

00:26:18.580 --> 00:26:19.480
 ministry

00:26:19.480 --> 00:26:20.539
 with others

00:26:20.539 --> 00:26:22.039
 he was

00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:22.320
 willing

00:26:22.320 --> 00:26:22.620
 to

00:26:22.620 --> 00:26:23.580
 rub

00:26:23.580 --> 00:26:24.000
 shoulders

00:26:24.000 --> 00:26:24.360
 with the

00:26:24.360 --> 00:26:24.700
 lowest

00:26:24.700 --> 00:26:25.000
 of the

00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:25.240
 low

00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:25.500
 he

00:26:25.500 --> 00:26:26.039
 was

00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:26.300
 willing

00:26:26.300 --> 00:26:26.539
 to

00:26:26.539 --> 00:26:26.920
 weep

00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:27.320
 with

00:26:27.320 --> 00:26:27.700
 Mary

00:26:27.700 --> 00:26:28.279
 and Martha

00:26:28.279 --> 00:26:29.120
 in a

00:26:29.120 --> 00:26:29.400
 moment

00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:29.840
 a tender

00:26:29.840 --> 00:26:30.259
 moment

00:26:30.259 --> 00:26:31.279
 of pain

00:26:31.279 --> 00:26:31.539
 that they

00:26:31.539 --> 00:26:31.700
 were

00:26:31.700 --> 00:26:32.279
 experiencing

00:26:32.279 --> 00:26:33.400
 he had

00:26:33.400 --> 00:26:33.940
 compassion

00:26:33.940 --> 00:26:34.600
 on the

00:26:34.600 --> 00:26:35.160
 masses

00:26:35.160 --> 00:26:36.100
 he bounced

00:26:36.100 --> 00:26:36.100


00:26:36.100 --> 00:26:36.640
 babies

00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:37.120
 on his

00:26:37.120 --> 00:26:37.480
 lap

00:26:37.480 --> 00:26:39.039
 he made

00:26:39.039 --> 00:26:39.320
 sure

00:26:39.320 --> 00:26:39.860
 his mom

00:26:39.860 --> 00:26:40.160
 was in

00:26:40.160 --> 00:26:40.360
 good

00:26:40.360 --> 00:26:40.759
 hands

00:26:40.759 --> 00:26:41.080
 when he

00:26:41.080 --> 00:26:41.300
 was

00:26:41.300 --> 00:26:42.100
 hanging

00:26:42.100 --> 00:26:42.539
 on the

00:26:42.539 --> 00:26:42.900
 cross

00:26:42.900 --> 00:26:43.340
 and ready

00:26:43.340 --> 00:26:43.880
 to die

00:26:43.880 --> 00:26:44.660
 Jesus

00:26:44.660 --> 00:26:45.080
 was

00:26:45.080 --> 00:26:45.900
 constantly

00:26:45.900 --> 00:26:46.700
 thinking

00:26:46.700 --> 00:26:47.020
 about

00:26:47.020 --> 00:26:47.400
 others

00:26:47.400 --> 00:26:47.720
 in his

00:26:47.720 --> 00:26:48.180
 ministry

00:26:48.180 --> 00:26:49.840
 Jesus

00:26:49.840 --> 00:26:51.160
 was a

00:26:51.160 --> 00:26:51.640
 personal

00:26:51.640 --> 00:26:52.400
 man

00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:53.400
 who

00:26:53.400 --> 00:26:54.060
 extended

00:26:54.060 --> 00:26:54.640
 personal

00:26:54.640 --> 00:26:55.140
 ministry

00:26:55.140 --> 00:26:56.400
 so here

00:26:56.400 --> 00:26:56.920
 we find

00:26:56.920 --> 00:26:57.820
 Peter

00:26:57.820 --> 00:26:58.900
 Peter

00:26:58.900 --> 00:26:59.340
 touched

00:26:59.340 --> 00:27:00.080
 and encouraged

00:27:00.080 --> 00:27:00.600
 by the

00:27:00.600 --> 00:27:01.160
 personal

00:27:01.160 --> 00:27:01.940
 ministry

00:27:01.940 --> 00:27:02.240
 of the

00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:02.420
 Lord

00:27:02.420 --> 00:27:02.820
 Jesus

00:27:02.820 --> 00:27:04.000
 is now

00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:04.580
 extending

00:27:04.580 --> 00:27:05.560
 this same

00:27:05.560 --> 00:27:05.940
 personal

00:27:05.940 --> 00:27:06.300
 ministry

00:27:06.300 --> 00:27:06.700
 to this

00:27:06.700 --> 00:27:07.140
 lame man

00:27:07.140 --> 00:27:08.900
 this is why

00:27:08.900 --> 00:27:09.240
 I think

00:27:09.240 --> 00:27:09.760
 it's important

00:27:09.760 --> 00:27:11.000
 for us

00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:11.540
 as the

00:27:11.540 --> 00:27:11.820
 church

00:27:11.820 --> 00:27:12.540
 to understand

00:27:12.539 --> 00:27:13.460
 the significance

00:27:13.460 --> 00:27:14.359
 of personal

00:27:14.359 --> 00:27:14.839
 ministry

00:27:14.839 --> 00:27:16.159
 yes it's

00:27:16.159 --> 00:27:16.659
 good to

00:27:16.659 --> 00:27:16.960
 give a

00:27:16.960 --> 00:27:17.259
 check

00:27:17.259 --> 00:27:18.119
 yes it's

00:27:18.119 --> 00:27:18.500
 good to

00:27:18.500 --> 00:27:18.940
 come and

00:27:18.940 --> 00:27:19.399
 sing

00:27:19.399 --> 00:27:20.299
 and to

00:27:20.299 --> 00:27:21.059
 praise

00:27:21.059 --> 00:27:22.139
 the Lord

00:27:22.139 --> 00:27:22.799
 together

00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:23.440
 in this

00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:23.759
 place

00:27:23.759 --> 00:27:24.379
 but if it

00:27:24.379 --> 00:27:25.119
 ends there

00:27:25.119 --> 00:27:25.839
 without a

00:27:25.839 --> 00:27:26.200
 personal

00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:26.740
 touch

00:27:26.740 --> 00:27:27.920
 without this

00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:28.399
 personal

00:27:28.399 --> 00:27:28.879
 element

00:27:28.879 --> 00:27:30.359
 you miss

00:27:30.359 --> 00:27:31.139
 the opportunity

00:27:31.139 --> 00:27:31.779
 that God

00:27:31.779 --> 00:27:32.519
 wants us

00:27:32.519 --> 00:27:33.000
 to capitalize

00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:33.440
 on

00:27:33.440 --> 00:27:35.359
 this personal

00:27:35.359 --> 00:27:36.180
 Christian

00:27:36.180 --> 00:27:36.920
 ministry

00:27:36.920 --> 00:27:37.779
 that includes

00:27:37.779 --> 00:27:38.559
 this personal

00:27:38.559 --> 00:27:39.139
 touch

00:27:39.139 --> 00:27:40.899
 and perhaps

00:27:40.899 --> 00:27:41.579
 the reason

00:27:41.579 --> 00:27:42.220
 why Peter

00:27:42.220 --> 00:27:43.100
 didn't have

00:27:43.100 --> 00:27:43.519
 any money

00:27:43.519 --> 00:27:44.019
 to give

00:27:44.019 --> 00:27:45.160
 I'm inclined

00:27:45.160 --> 00:27:45.600
 to think

00:27:45.600 --> 00:27:46.339
 that he

00:27:46.339 --> 00:27:47.000
 along with

00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:47.259
 the other

00:27:47.259 --> 00:27:47.779
 apostles

00:27:47.779 --> 00:27:48.460
 were kind

00:27:48.460 --> 00:27:48.940
 of setting

00:27:48.940 --> 00:27:50.299
 the stage

00:27:50.299 --> 00:27:51.039
 of what we

00:27:51.039 --> 00:27:52.059
 saw in the

00:27:52.059 --> 00:27:52.559
 last part

00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:52.920
 of chapter

00:27:52.920 --> 00:27:53.259
 two

00:27:53.259 --> 00:27:53.759
 remember

00:27:53.759 --> 00:27:54.240
 they're

00:27:54.240 --> 00:27:55.279
 selling their

00:27:55.279 --> 00:27:55.720
 possessions

00:27:55.720 --> 00:27:56.180
 and they're

00:27:56.180 --> 00:27:56.700
 distributing

00:27:56.700 --> 00:27:57.180
 to anyone

00:27:57.180 --> 00:27:57.460
 who had

00:27:57.460 --> 00:27:57.740
 need

00:27:57.740 --> 00:27:58.240
 I think

00:27:58.240 --> 00:27:59.240
 the apostles

00:27:59.240 --> 00:28:00.019
 were in

00:28:00.019 --> 00:28:00.980
 the front

00:28:00.980 --> 00:28:02.240
 of the pack

00:28:02.240 --> 00:28:02.839
 as it were

00:28:02.839 --> 00:28:03.559
 in doing

00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:03.980
 that

00:28:03.980 --> 00:28:05.240
 for others

00:28:05.240 --> 00:28:05.740
 and so

00:28:05.740 --> 00:28:06.079
 Peter

00:28:06.079 --> 00:28:06.819
 didn't have

00:28:06.819 --> 00:28:07.500
 anything to

00:28:07.500 --> 00:28:07.759
 give

00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:08.420
 because he'd

00:28:08.420 --> 00:28:08.839
 already

00:28:08.839 --> 00:28:10.360
 given it

00:28:10.360 --> 00:28:11.100
 all away

00:28:11.099 --> 00:28:13.399
 so they

00:28:13.399 --> 00:28:13.779
 didn't make

00:28:13.779 --> 00:28:14.279
 excuses

00:28:14.279 --> 00:28:15.779
 they had

00:28:15.779 --> 00:28:16.699
 lots of

00:28:16.699 --> 00:28:17.500
 reasons to

00:28:17.500 --> 00:28:18.179
 make excuses

00:28:18.179 --> 00:28:18.559
 but they

00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:18.959
 didn't

00:28:18.959 --> 00:28:20.359
 but they also

00:28:20.359 --> 00:28:21.240
 saw the deeper

00:28:21.240 --> 00:28:21.679
 need here

00:28:21.679 --> 00:28:22.079
 and I see

00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:23.139
 we turn to

00:28:23.139 --> 00:28:24.799
 verse 6

00:28:24.799 --> 00:28:25.439
 and we see

00:28:25.439 --> 00:28:26.000
 this again

00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:26.879
 Peter said

00:28:26.879 --> 00:28:27.399
 I have no

00:28:27.399 --> 00:28:28.099
 silver and

00:28:28.099 --> 00:28:28.379
 gold

00:28:28.379 --> 00:28:29.179
 but what I

00:28:29.179 --> 00:28:29.879
 do have

00:28:29.879 --> 00:28:30.439
 I give

00:28:30.439 --> 00:28:31.079
 to you

00:28:31.079 --> 00:28:32.779
 in the name

00:28:32.779 --> 00:28:33.299
 of Jesus

00:28:33.299 --> 00:28:34.319
 Christ of

00:28:34.319 --> 00:28:34.839
 Nazareth

00:28:34.839 --> 00:28:36.119
 rise up

00:28:36.119 --> 00:28:37.119
 and walk

00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:38.539
 you see

00:28:38.539 --> 00:28:39.359
 Peter

00:28:39.359 --> 00:28:39.839
 didn't let

00:28:39.839 --> 00:28:40.399
 this lack

00:28:40.399 --> 00:28:41.039
 of funds

00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:43.459
 cause him

00:28:43.459 --> 00:28:44.119
 to pass up

00:28:44.119 --> 00:28:44.939
 on this

00:28:44.939 --> 00:28:46.039
 man

00:28:46.039 --> 00:28:47.299
 he saw

00:28:47.299 --> 00:28:47.799
 the deeper

00:28:47.799 --> 00:28:48.059
 need

00:28:48.059 --> 00:28:48.519
 the deeper

00:28:48.519 --> 00:28:49.019
 issues

00:28:49.019 --> 00:28:49.359
 that were

00:28:49.359 --> 00:28:49.859
 at stake

00:28:49.859 --> 00:28:51.259
 yes there

00:28:51.259 --> 00:28:51.639
 was a

00:28:51.639 --> 00:28:52.099
 financial

00:28:52.099 --> 00:28:52.439
 need

00:28:52.439 --> 00:28:53.639
 yes there

00:28:53.639 --> 00:28:53.959
 was a

00:28:53.959 --> 00:28:54.239
 physical

00:28:54.239 --> 00:28:54.579
 need

00:28:54.579 --> 00:28:55.339
 but I

00:28:55.339 --> 00:28:55.459
 think

00:28:55.459 --> 00:28:55.699
 Peter

00:28:55.699 --> 00:28:56.079
 saw

00:28:56.079 --> 00:28:56.699
 even

00:28:56.699 --> 00:28:56.979
 deeper

00:28:56.979 --> 00:28:57.379
 than that

00:28:57.379 --> 00:28:57.639
 and he

00:28:57.639 --> 00:28:58.259
 recognized

00:28:58.259 --> 00:28:58.799
 there was

00:28:58.799 --> 00:28:59.319
 a spiritual

00:28:59.319 --> 00:28:59.619
 need

00:28:59.619 --> 00:28:59.919
 that needed

00:28:59.919 --> 00:29:00.139
 to be

00:29:00.139 --> 00:29:00.539
 addressed

00:29:00.539 --> 00:29:02.039
 and that's

00:29:02.039 --> 00:29:02.339
 why he

00:29:02.339 --> 00:29:02.659
 says

00:29:02.659 --> 00:29:03.179
 in the

00:29:03.179 --> 00:29:03.719
 name

00:29:03.719 --> 00:29:04.779
 of Jesus

00:29:04.779 --> 00:29:05.359
 Christ

00:29:05.359 --> 00:29:06.599
 rise up

00:29:06.599 --> 00:29:07.559
 and walk

00:29:07.559 --> 00:29:08.659
 you see

00:29:08.659 --> 00:29:10.399
 it's the

00:29:10.399 --> 00:29:10.799
 giving

00:29:10.799 --> 00:29:11.399
 that Jesus

00:29:11.399 --> 00:29:11.899
 wants

00:29:11.899 --> 00:29:12.579
 from us

00:29:12.579 --> 00:29:13.500
 is the

00:29:13.500 --> 00:29:13.819
 giving

00:29:13.819 --> 00:29:14.740
 that originates

00:29:14.740 --> 00:29:15.139
 from him

00:29:15.139 --> 00:29:16.359
 in the

00:29:16.359 --> 00:29:16.699
 name of

00:29:16.699 --> 00:29:16.939
 Jesus

00:29:16.939 --> 00:29:17.399
 Christ

00:29:17.399 --> 00:29:18.799
 rise up

00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:19.219
 and walk

00:29:19.219 --> 00:29:20.419
 it's a

00:29:20.419 --> 00:29:20.819
 giving that

00:29:20.819 --> 00:29:21.299
 points to

00:29:21.299 --> 00:29:21.539
 him

00:29:21.539 --> 00:29:22.159
 it's a

00:29:22.159 --> 00:29:22.339
 giving

00:29:22.339 --> 00:29:22.639
 that's

00:29:22.639 --> 00:29:22.959
 strengthened

00:29:22.959 --> 00:29:23.439
 by him

00:29:23.439 --> 00:29:24.000
 it's a

00:29:24.000 --> 00:29:24.179
 giving

00:29:24.179 --> 00:29:24.559
 that gives

00:29:24.559 --> 00:29:24.899
 glory

00:29:24.899 --> 00:29:25.259
 to him

00:29:25.259 --> 00:29:25.579
 it's a

00:29:25.579 --> 00:29:26.039
 it's the

00:29:26.039 --> 00:29:26.419
 kind

00:29:26.419 --> 00:29:26.939
 of giving

00:29:26.939 --> 00:29:27.819
 where Jesus

00:29:27.819 --> 00:29:29.000
 receives

00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:29.679
 the praise

00:29:29.679 --> 00:29:31.639
 so Peter

00:29:31.639 --> 00:29:32.299
 what he does

00:29:32.299 --> 00:29:32.639
 here is

00:29:32.639 --> 00:29:33.119
 significant

00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:34.439
 and it's

00:29:34.439 --> 00:29:34.939
 really easy

00:29:34.939 --> 00:29:35.519
 to miss

00:29:35.519 --> 00:29:36.319
 it's easy

00:29:36.319 --> 00:29:36.839
 to miss

00:29:36.839 --> 00:29:38.259
 that Peter

00:29:38.259 --> 00:29:39.539
 is not just

00:29:39.539 --> 00:29:40.160
 caught up

00:29:40.160 --> 00:29:40.559
 in this

00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:40.839
 moment

00:29:40.839 --> 00:29:41.279
 but Peter

00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:41.700
 is being

00:29:41.700 --> 00:29:42.720
 instrumentally

00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:43.299
 used

00:29:43.299 --> 00:29:44.279
 by God

00:29:44.279 --> 00:29:45.019
 in this

00:29:45.019 --> 00:29:45.400
 moment

00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:46.400
 to minister

00:29:46.400 --> 00:29:47.079
 to a need

00:29:47.079 --> 00:29:48.079
 and to draw

00:29:48.079 --> 00:29:48.519
 attention

00:29:48.519 --> 00:29:49.859
 to Christ

00:29:49.859 --> 00:29:51.859
 we find

00:29:51.859 --> 00:29:52.200
 in verse

00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:52.579
 7

00:29:52.579 --> 00:29:53.700
 he looks

00:29:53.700 --> 00:29:54.039
 at him

00:29:54.039 --> 00:29:55.339
 he took

00:29:55.339 --> 00:29:55.799
 him by

00:29:55.799 --> 00:29:56.299
 the right

00:29:56.299 --> 00:29:56.619
 hand

00:29:56.619 --> 00:29:57.119
 and raised

00:29:57.119 --> 00:29:57.559
 him up

00:29:57.559 --> 00:29:58.500
 and immediately

00:29:58.500 --> 00:29:59.420
 his feet

00:29:59.420 --> 00:30:00.099
 and ankles

00:30:00.099 --> 00:30:00.539
 were made

00:30:00.539 --> 00:30:01.039
 strong

00:30:01.039 --> 00:30:02.660
 notice the

00:30:02.660 --> 00:30:03.299
 features of

00:30:03.299 --> 00:30:03.839
 this miracle

00:30:03.839 --> 00:30:04.460
 that's important

00:30:04.460 --> 00:30:05.079
 for us to draw

00:30:05.079 --> 00:30:05.699
 attention to

00:30:05.699 --> 00:30:07.539
 that it

00:30:07.539 --> 00:30:08.519
 sets itself

00:30:08.519 --> 00:30:09.139
 apart from

00:30:09.139 --> 00:30:09.839
 the so-called

00:30:09.839 --> 00:30:10.500
 miracles

00:30:10.500 --> 00:30:11.379
 that happen

00:30:11.379 --> 00:30:11.759
 today

00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:12.859
 that the

00:30:12.859 --> 00:30:13.419
 healing was

00:30:13.419 --> 00:30:13.839
 done in

00:30:13.839 --> 00:30:14.659
 Jesus's name

00:30:14.659 --> 00:30:16.000
 the healing

00:30:16.000 --> 00:30:17.299
 was instantaneous

00:30:17.299 --> 00:30:18.639
 the healing

00:30:18.639 --> 00:30:19.839
 was complete

00:30:19.839 --> 00:30:21.179
 it involved

00:30:21.179 --> 00:30:22.099
 the totality

00:30:22.099 --> 00:30:23.139
 of all that

00:30:23.139 --> 00:30:23.659
 this man

00:30:23.659 --> 00:30:24.039
 needed

00:30:24.039 --> 00:30:24.980
 his feet

00:30:24.980 --> 00:30:25.779
 his ankles

00:30:25.779 --> 00:30:26.579
 were strengthened

00:30:26.579 --> 00:30:27.599
 in totality

00:30:27.599 --> 00:30:28.319
 it wasn't

00:30:28.319 --> 00:30:29.139
 incrementally

00:30:29.139 --> 00:30:29.960
 but happened

00:30:29.960 --> 00:30:31.119
 all at once

00:30:31.119 --> 00:30:32.599
 and then there

00:30:32.599 --> 00:30:33.019
 was this

00:30:33.019 --> 00:30:33.539
 immediate

00:30:33.539 --> 00:30:34.519
 skill

00:30:34.519 --> 00:30:35.339
 to walk

00:30:35.339 --> 00:30:36.799
 there was

00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:37.000
 this

00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:37.619
 coordination

00:30:37.619 --> 00:30:38.759
 there's

00:30:38.759 --> 00:30:38.960
 this

00:30:38.960 --> 00:30:39.500
 motor

00:30:39.500 --> 00:30:39.900
 skill

00:30:39.900 --> 00:30:40.259
 there was

00:30:40.259 --> 00:30:40.500
 this

00:30:40.500 --> 00:30:41.420
 proficiency

00:30:41.420 --> 00:30:42.220
 you see

00:30:42.220 --> 00:30:42.740
 God

00:30:42.740 --> 00:30:43.440
 overcame

00:30:43.440 --> 00:30:44.180
 not only

00:30:44.180 --> 00:30:45.000
 the physical

00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:45.680
 needs

00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:46.440
 of strengthening

00:30:46.440 --> 00:30:48.059
 but also

00:30:48.059 --> 00:30:48.920
 whatever the

00:30:48.920 --> 00:30:49.779
 mental needs

00:30:49.779 --> 00:30:50.259
 might be

00:30:50.259 --> 00:30:50.940
 to help

00:30:50.940 --> 00:30:51.819
 with coordination

00:30:51.819 --> 00:30:52.680
 and proficiency

00:30:52.680 --> 00:30:53.359
 happened

00:30:53.359 --> 00:30:54.460
 instantaneously

00:30:54.460 --> 00:30:55.960
 that for

00:30:55.960 --> 00:30:56.579
 a man

00:30:56.579 --> 00:30:57.000
 who was

00:30:57.000 --> 00:30:57.920
 40 years

00:30:57.920 --> 00:30:58.299
 old

00:30:58.299 --> 00:30:59.519
 to be able

00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:00.619
 to walk

00:31:00.619 --> 00:31:00.899
 and as

00:31:00.899 --> 00:31:01.059
 we're

00:31:01.059 --> 00:31:01.159
 going

00:31:01.159 --> 00:31:01.539
 to see

00:31:01.539 --> 00:31:02.179
 leap

00:31:02.179 --> 00:31:02.579
 here

00:31:02.579 --> 00:31:03.019
 in just

00:31:03.019 --> 00:31:04.059
 a moment

00:31:04.059 --> 00:31:04.619
 that

00:31:04.619 --> 00:31:05.319
 he is

00:31:05.319 --> 00:31:05.599
 able

00:31:05.599 --> 00:31:05.919
 to do

00:31:05.919 --> 00:31:06.119
 this

00:31:06.119 --> 00:31:06.539
 because

00:31:06.539 --> 00:31:07.779
 a miracle

00:31:07.779 --> 00:31:08.439
 has happened

00:31:08.439 --> 00:31:09.759
 it was clear

00:31:09.759 --> 00:31:10.639
 it was unmistakable

00:31:10.639 --> 00:31:11.299
 a work of

00:31:11.299 --> 00:31:11.659
 God

00:31:11.659 --> 00:31:12.339
 had just

00:31:12.339 --> 00:31:13.339
 taken place

00:31:13.339 --> 00:31:15.619
 because Peter

00:31:15.619 --> 00:31:16.459
 and John

00:31:16.459 --> 00:31:16.859
 were willing

00:31:16.859 --> 00:31:17.439
 to give

00:31:17.439 --> 00:31:18.539
 what they

00:31:18.539 --> 00:31:18.839
 had

00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:20.699
 I wonder

00:31:20.699 --> 00:31:21.239
 this morning

00:31:21.239 --> 00:31:21.839
 what do you

00:31:21.839 --> 00:31:22.379
 have to give

00:31:28.880 --> 00:31:29.400
 life

00:31:29.400 --> 00:31:30.539
 in addressing

00:31:30.539 --> 00:31:32.019
 the hurt

00:31:32.019 --> 00:31:33.180
 or the pain

00:31:33.180 --> 00:31:33.840
 or the

00:31:40.400 --> 00:31:41.019
 of encouragement

 it's as

00:31:42.080 --> 00:31:42.640
 simple as

00:32:07.740 --> 00:32:08.359
 we just have

00:32:15.720 --> 00:32:16.160
 qualified

00:32:16.160 --> 00:32:16.759

 are a

00:32:17.160 --> 00:32:17.579
 recipient

00:32:17.579 --> 00:32:18.740
 of God's

00:32:18.740 --> 00:32:19.120
 grace

00:32:19.120 --> 00:32:20.339

 you have

00:32:23.720 --> 00:32:24.059
 something

 to give

00:32:24.500 --> 00:32:25.200
 you have

 the grace

00:32:26.079 --> 00:32:26.660
 of God

00:32:26.660 --> 00:32:27.140
 to give

00:32:27.140 --> 00:32:28.140
 the ministry

00:32:28.140 --> 00:32:29.380
 of God's

00:32:29.380 --> 00:32:29.720
 grace

00:32:29.720 --> 00:32:30.320
 imparted

00:32:30.320 --> 00:32:30.740
 to you

00:32:30.740 --> 00:32:31.820
 to encourage

00:32:31.820 --> 00:32:32.320
 and bless

00:32:32.320 --> 00:32:32.900
 those around

00:32:32.900 --> 00:32:33.200
 you

00:32:33.200 --> 00:32:34.400
 and finally

00:32:34.400 --> 00:32:35.780
 not just be

00:32:35.780 --> 00:32:36.320
 alert to

00:32:36.320 --> 00:32:36.720
 notice

00:32:36.720 --> 00:32:37.860
 not just be

00:32:37.860 --> 00:32:38.500
 available to

00:32:38.500 --> 00:32:38.880
 give

00:32:38.880 --> 00:32:40.240
 but be active

00:32:40.240 --> 00:32:40.980
 to point

00:32:40.980 --> 00:32:41.580
 people

00:32:41.580 --> 00:32:42.280
 to God

00:32:42.280 --> 00:32:43.400
 be active

00:32:43.400 --> 00:32:43.860
 to point

00:32:43.860 --> 00:32:44.200
 people to

00:32:44.200 --> 00:32:44.360
 God

00:32:44.360 --> 00:32:44.740
 we see that

00:32:44.740 --> 00:32:45.240
 in verse 8

00:32:45.240 --> 00:32:46.100
 it says

00:32:46.100 --> 00:32:46.840
 in leaping up

00:32:46.840 --> 00:32:47.400
 he stood

00:32:47.400 --> 00:32:48.280
 and began

00:32:48.280 --> 00:32:48.840
 to walk

00:32:48.840 --> 00:32:49.560
 and entered

00:32:49.560 --> 00:32:50.100
 the temple

00:32:50.100 --> 00:32:50.860
 with them

00:32:50.860 --> 00:32:51.320
 walking

00:32:51.320 --> 00:32:52.180
 and leaping

00:32:52.180 --> 00:32:52.660
 and praising

00:32:52.660 --> 00:32:53.060
 God

00:32:53.060 --> 00:32:54.380
 and all the

00:32:54.380 --> 00:32:54.980
 people saw

00:32:54.980 --> 00:32:55.580
 him walking

00:32:55.580 --> 00:32:56.120
 and praising

00:32:56.119 --> 00:32:56.479
 God

00:32:56.479 --> 00:32:59.159
 and all the

00:32:59.159 --> 00:32:59.859
 people saw

00:32:59.859 --> 00:33:00.319
 him walking

00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:00.719
 and praising

00:33:00.719 --> 00:33:01.019
 God

00:33:01.019 --> 00:33:02.219
 and recognized

00:33:02.219 --> 00:33:03.219
 him as the

00:33:03.219 --> 00:33:03.959
 one who sat

00:33:03.959 --> 00:33:04.619
 at the beautiful

00:33:04.619 --> 00:33:05.519
 gate of the

00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:05.879
 temple

00:33:05.879 --> 00:33:07.199
 asking for

00:33:07.199 --> 00:33:07.739
 alms

00:33:07.739 --> 00:33:08.839
 and they were

00:33:08.839 --> 00:33:09.279
 filled with

00:33:09.279 --> 00:33:09.819
 wonder and

00:33:09.819 --> 00:33:10.319
 amazement

00:33:10.319 --> 00:33:11.419
 at what had

00:33:11.419 --> 00:33:11.839
 happened to

00:33:11.839 --> 00:33:12.039
 him

00:33:12.039 --> 00:33:13.379
 you see what

00:33:13.379 --> 00:33:13.879
 happens here

00:33:13.879 --> 00:33:14.799
 do you notice

00:33:14.799 --> 00:33:15.619
 what's taken

00:33:15.619 --> 00:33:16.159
 place

00:33:16.159 --> 00:33:17.979
 now this man

00:33:17.979 --> 00:33:18.519
 is not

00:33:18.519 --> 00:33:19.339
 limping

00:33:19.339 --> 00:33:20.819
 he's not

00:33:20.819 --> 00:33:21.659
 shuffling

00:33:21.659 --> 00:33:22.819
 he's not even

00:33:22.819 --> 00:33:23.599
 just walking

00:33:23.599 --> 00:33:24.859
 he's leaping

00:33:24.859 --> 00:33:26.019
 he's leaping

00:33:26.019 --> 00:33:26.759
 because a

00:33:26.759 --> 00:33:27.279
 miracle

00:33:27.279 --> 00:33:28.719
 a miracle

00:33:28.719 --> 00:33:29.279
 has happened

00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:30.979
 it's moved

00:33:30.979 --> 00:33:31.519
 him from

00:33:31.519 --> 00:33:32.519
 hopelessness

00:33:32.519 --> 00:33:33.259
 to joy

00:33:33.259 --> 00:33:34.679
 it's led

00:33:34.679 --> 00:33:35.139
 him to

00:33:35.139 --> 00:33:36.119
 from being

00:33:36.119 --> 00:33:36.559
 kind of

00:33:36.559 --> 00:33:37.759
 self-focused

00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:38.479
 to being

00:33:38.479 --> 00:33:39.399
 God-focused

00:33:39.399 --> 00:33:40.419
 it's moved

00:33:40.419 --> 00:33:40.939
 him from being

00:33:40.939 --> 00:33:41.740
 one who is

00:33:41.740 --> 00:33:42.240
 carried

00:33:42.240 --> 00:33:43.259
 to one who

00:33:43.259 --> 00:33:43.859
 is moving

00:33:43.859 --> 00:33:44.559
 on his own

00:33:44.559 --> 00:33:45.799
 he's moving

00:33:45.799 --> 00:33:46.439
 with direction

00:33:46.439 --> 00:33:47.759
 he's moving

00:33:47.759 --> 00:33:48.439
 with purpose

00:33:48.439 --> 00:33:49.939
 he's one

00:33:49.939 --> 00:33:51.219
 who's rejoicing

00:33:51.219 --> 00:33:52.419
 in his

00:33:52.419 --> 00:33:53.519
 physical fitness

00:33:53.519 --> 00:33:54.639
 but also

00:33:54.639 --> 00:33:55.339
 rejoicing

00:33:55.339 --> 00:33:56.039
 more importantly

00:33:56.039 --> 00:33:56.980
 in his

00:33:56.980 --> 00:33:58.099
 spiritual fitness

00:33:58.099 --> 00:33:59.759
 that this

00:33:59.759 --> 00:34:00.220
 has created

00:34:00.220 --> 00:34:00.680
 joy

00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:01.980
 this personal

00:34:01.980 --> 00:34:02.799
 ministry of

00:34:02.799 --> 00:34:03.359
 Peter and

00:34:03.359 --> 00:34:03.660
 John

00:34:03.660 --> 00:34:04.599
 has led to

00:34:04.599 --> 00:34:05.019
 joy

00:34:05.019 --> 00:34:06.119
 in God

00:34:06.119 --> 00:34:07.359
 it's been

00:34:07.359 --> 00:34:07.920
 directional

00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:09.440
 the apostle

00:34:09.440 --> 00:34:10.099
 Peter has

00:34:10.099 --> 00:34:11.179
 ensured

00:34:11.179 --> 00:34:12.480
 that God

00:34:12.480 --> 00:34:12.920
 would get

00:34:12.920 --> 00:34:13.579
 credit for

00:34:13.579 --> 00:34:13.840
 this

00:34:13.840 --> 00:34:14.800
 that he is

00:34:14.800 --> 00:34:15.219
 doing this

00:34:15.219 --> 00:34:15.780
 in the name

00:34:15.780 --> 00:34:16.599
 of Jesus

00:34:16.599 --> 00:34:17.539
 Christ of

00:34:17.539 --> 00:34:18.059
 Nazareth

00:34:18.059 --> 00:34:19.860
 and I wonder

00:34:19.860 --> 00:34:21.460
 if any of you

00:34:21.460 --> 00:34:21.860
 have had an

00:34:21.860 --> 00:34:22.259
 opportunity

00:34:22.260 --> 00:34:23.340
 to be part

00:34:23.340 --> 00:34:23.600
 of that

00:34:23.600 --> 00:34:24.180
 to see

00:34:24.180 --> 00:34:24.460
 that

00:34:24.460 --> 00:34:25.480
 or experience

00:34:25.480 --> 00:34:25.860
 that for

00:34:25.860 --> 00:34:26.300
 yourself

00:34:26.300 --> 00:34:27.300
 that your

00:34:27.300 --> 00:34:27.800
 ministry

00:34:27.800 --> 00:34:28.600
 to someone

00:34:28.600 --> 00:34:28.960
 else

00:34:28.960 --> 00:34:30.380
 however big

00:34:30.380 --> 00:34:31.140
 or small

00:34:31.140 --> 00:34:31.800
 that ministry

00:34:31.800 --> 00:34:32.440
 might be

00:34:32.440 --> 00:34:33.320
 that it leads

00:34:33.320 --> 00:34:33.980
 to joy

00:34:33.980 --> 00:34:34.460
 in them

00:34:34.460 --> 00:34:34.900
 have you ever

00:34:34.900 --> 00:34:35.900
 experienced

00:34:35.900 --> 00:34:36.400
 that

00:34:36.400 --> 00:34:37.100
 and seen

00:34:37.100 --> 00:34:37.380
 that

00:34:37.380 --> 00:34:39.220
 this past

00:34:39.220 --> 00:34:39.520
 week

00:34:39.520 --> 00:34:40.060
 as I was

00:34:40.060 --> 00:34:40.640
 driving

00:34:40.640 --> 00:34:41.380
 to Cedarville

00:34:41.380 --> 00:34:42.540
 my odometer

00:34:42.540 --> 00:34:42.980
 turned

00:34:42.980 --> 00:34:45.960
 233,333

00:34:45.960 --> 00:34:46.920
 it was

00:34:46.920 --> 00:34:47.840
 notable

00:34:47.840 --> 00:34:48.340
 just because

00:34:48.340 --> 00:34:48.800
 of all the

00:34:48.800 --> 00:34:49.340
 threes

00:34:49.340 --> 00:34:49.980
 that were there

00:34:49.980 --> 00:34:51.380
 but it reminded

00:34:51.380 --> 00:34:51.980
 me of how

00:34:51.980 --> 00:34:52.599
 that car

00:34:52.599 --> 00:34:53.619
 came to

00:34:53.619 --> 00:34:54.119
 being for

00:34:54.119 --> 00:34:54.480
 us

00:34:54.480 --> 00:34:55.920
 it was a

00:34:55.920 --> 00:34:56.300
 family

00:34:56.300 --> 00:34:57.579
 a family

00:34:57.579 --> 00:34:58.400
 10 years

00:34:58.400 --> 00:34:58.700
 ago

00:34:58.700 --> 00:34:59.680
 when

00:34:59.680 --> 00:35:00.140
 actually

00:35:00.140 --> 00:35:00.519
 I guess

00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:00.720
 it was

00:35:00.720 --> 00:35:01.980
 16 years

00:35:01.980 --> 00:35:02.280
 ago

00:35:02.280 --> 00:35:02.740
 now

00:35:02.740 --> 00:35:03.480
 because

00:35:03.480 --> 00:35:04.500
 my son

00:35:04.500 --> 00:35:05.200
 Timothy

00:35:05.200 --> 00:35:06.400
 was just

00:35:06.400 --> 00:35:06.900
 about ready

00:35:06.900 --> 00:35:07.460
 to be born

00:35:07.460 --> 00:35:08.860
 and this

00:35:08.860 --> 00:35:09.380
 family

00:35:09.380 --> 00:35:09.920
 in this

00:35:09.920 --> 00:35:10.260
 church

00:35:10.260 --> 00:35:11.140
 decided to

00:35:11.140 --> 00:35:11.680
 give us

00:35:11.680 --> 00:35:12.059
 a gift

00:35:12.059 --> 00:35:12.940
 it was a

00:35:12.940 --> 00:35:13.320
 gift that

00:35:13.320 --> 00:35:13.640
 was kind

00:35:13.640 --> 00:35:14.099
 of targeted

00:35:14.099 --> 00:35:15.079
 to helping

00:35:15.079 --> 00:35:15.860
 us as a

00:35:15.860 --> 00:35:16.240
 family

00:35:16.240 --> 00:35:17.180
 get things

00:35:17.180 --> 00:35:17.519
 going

00:35:17.519 --> 00:35:18.800
 and get

00:35:18.800 --> 00:35:19.460
 some supplies

00:35:19.460 --> 00:35:20.679
 for how

00:35:20.679 --> 00:35:21.039
 that all

00:35:21.039 --> 00:35:21.659
 goes

00:35:21.659 --> 00:35:22.280
 you have

00:35:22.280 --> 00:35:22.679
 a new

00:35:22.679 --> 00:35:22.980
 baby

00:35:22.980 --> 00:35:23.740
 but I

00:35:23.740 --> 00:35:24.039
 was able

00:35:24.039 --> 00:35:24.519
 to use

00:35:24.519 --> 00:35:25.119
 that money

00:35:25.119 --> 00:35:25.539
 and to

00:35:25.539 --> 00:35:25.840
 buy

00:35:25.840 --> 00:35:26.860
 this car

00:35:26.860 --> 00:35:27.240
 the car

00:35:27.240 --> 00:35:27.480
 that I

00:35:27.480 --> 00:35:28.380
 was driving

00:35:28.380 --> 00:35:29.940
 to Cedarville

00:35:29.940 --> 00:35:30.420
 this past

00:35:30.420 --> 00:35:30.659
 week

00:35:30.659 --> 00:35:30.880
 and it

00:35:30.880 --> 00:35:31.659
 was a

00:35:31.659 --> 00:35:32.059
 reminder

00:35:32.059 --> 00:35:32.679
 to me

00:35:32.679 --> 00:35:33.599
 of how

00:35:33.599 --> 00:35:33.900
 God

00:35:33.900 --> 00:35:34.320
 meets

00:35:34.320 --> 00:35:35.559
 needs

00:35:35.559 --> 00:35:35.780
 without

00:35:35.780 --> 00:35:36.220
 people

00:35:36.220 --> 00:35:36.519
 even

00:35:36.519 --> 00:35:36.800
 knowing

00:35:36.800 --> 00:35:37.860
 and it

00:35:37.860 --> 00:35:38.119
 led

00:35:38.119 --> 00:35:38.940
 my heart

00:35:38.940 --> 00:35:39.920
 to praise

00:35:39.920 --> 00:35:40.559
 the Lord

00:35:40.559 --> 00:35:41.679
 16 years

00:35:41.679 --> 00:35:41.980
 ago

00:35:41.980 --> 00:35:42.940
 and it

00:35:42.940 --> 00:35:43.340
 led my

00:35:43.340 --> 00:35:43.699
 heart

00:35:43.699 --> 00:35:44.440
 to praise

00:35:44.440 --> 00:35:45.260
 the Lord

00:35:45.260 --> 00:35:45.639
 again

00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:46.559
 in that

00:35:46.559 --> 00:35:47.079
 drive

00:35:47.079 --> 00:35:47.679
 to

00:35:47.679 --> 00:35:48.259
 Cedarville

00:35:48.259 --> 00:35:49.259
 on Friday

00:35:49.259 --> 00:35:49.920
 afternoon

00:35:49.920 --> 00:35:50.819
 to say

00:35:50.819 --> 00:35:51.500
 thank you

00:35:51.500 --> 00:35:51.779
 Lord

00:35:51.779 --> 00:35:52.480
 for the

00:35:52.480 --> 00:35:52.739
 way

00:35:52.739 --> 00:35:53.159
 that you

00:35:53.159 --> 00:35:53.519
 use

00:35:53.519 --> 00:35:54.000
 others

00:35:54.000 --> 00:35:54.679
 to be

00:35:54.679 --> 00:35:55.159
 a blessing

00:35:55.159 --> 00:35:57.039
 and God

00:35:57.039 --> 00:35:57.440
 has given

00:35:57.440 --> 00:35:57.900
 us all

00:35:57.900 --> 00:35:58.559
 the opportunity

00:35:58.559 --> 00:35:59.639
 to be a

00:35:59.639 --> 00:35:59.980
 part of

00:35:59.980 --> 00:36:00.360
 that in

00:36:00.360 --> 00:36:00.920
 some way

00:36:00.920 --> 00:36:02.340
 big ways

00:36:02.340 --> 00:36:02.960
 and small

00:36:02.960 --> 00:36:03.380
 ways

00:36:03.380 --> 00:36:04.159
 as you

00:36:04.159 --> 00:36:05.019
 step in

00:36:05.019 --> 00:36:05.619
 to the

00:36:05.619 --> 00:36:05.819
 hurts

00:36:05.819 --> 00:36:06.299
 and pains

00:36:06.299 --> 00:36:06.659
 of others

00:36:06.659 --> 00:36:07.360
 and as

00:36:07.360 --> 00:36:08.059
 you extend

00:36:08.059 --> 00:36:08.639
 yourself

00:36:08.639 --> 00:36:09.319
 in some

00:36:09.319 --> 00:36:09.679
 way

00:36:09.679 --> 00:36:10.559
 to encourage

00:36:10.559 --> 00:36:10.759
 them

00:36:10.759 --> 00:36:11.420
 not to

00:36:11.420 --> 00:36:12.099
 get attention

00:36:12.099 --> 00:36:13.420
 to yourself

00:36:13.420 --> 00:36:13.860
 but to

00:36:13.860 --> 00:36:14.420
 give attention

00:36:14.420 --> 00:36:15.139
 to the

00:36:15.139 --> 00:36:15.400
 Lord

00:36:15.400 --> 00:36:18.000
 and so

00:36:18.000 --> 00:36:18.400
 we see

00:36:18.400 --> 00:36:18.700
 that

00:36:18.700 --> 00:36:19.700
 we see

00:36:19.700 --> 00:36:20.240
 that here

00:36:20.240 --> 00:36:21.680

00:36:25.019 --> 00:36:25.519
 attention

00:36:25.519 --> 00:36:26.440
 to God

00:36:26.440 --> 00:36:27.539
 and this

00:36:27.539 --> 00:36:27.900
 man

00:36:27.900 --> 00:36:28.200

 attention

00:36:30.059 --> 00:36:30.599
 to God

00:36:30.599 --> 00:36:31.039
 as well

00:36:31.039 --> 00:36:32.460
 he's

00:36:32.460 --> 00:36:33.000
 no longer

00:36:33.000 --> 00:36:33.420
 broken

00:36:33.420 --> 00:36:34.240
 he's

00:36:34.240 --> 00:36:34.860
 no longer

00:36:34.860 --> 00:36:35.400
 a beggar

00:36:35.400 --> 00:36:36.079
 he's

00:36:36.079 --> 00:36:36.619
 no longer

00:36:36.619 --> 00:36:37.019

00:36:38.880 --> 00:36:39.300
 and now

00:36:39.300 --> 00:36:39.599
 he's

00:36:39.599 --> 00:36:40.099
 entering

00:36:40.099 --> 00:36:41.059
 the house

00:36:41.059 --> 00:36:41.720
 of worship

00:36:41.720 --> 00:36:42.519
 on his

00:36:42.519 --> 00:36:42.840
 own

00:36:42.840 --> 00:36:43.980
 up to

00:36:43.980 --> 00:36:44.519
 this point

00:36:44.519 --> 00:36:45.039
 as a

00:36:45.039 --> 00:36:45.380
 broken

00:36:45.380 --> 00:36:46.119
 man

00:36:46.119 --> 00:36:46.539
 as a

00:36:46.539 --> 00:36:46.780
 lame

00:36:46.780 --> 00:36:47.079
 man

00:36:47.079 --> 00:36:47.700
 he was

00:36:47.700 --> 00:36:48.300
 confined

00:36:48.300 --> 00:36:48.619
 to the

00:36:48.619 --> 00:36:49.019
 threshold

00:36:49.019 --> 00:36:49.300
 of the

00:36:49.300 --> 00:36:49.579
 temple

00:36:49.579 --> 00:36:50.320
 he would

00:36:50.320 --> 00:36:50.680
 sit

00:36:50.680 --> 00:36:51.039
 there

 day

00:36:51.500 --> 00:36:52.019
 by day

00:36:52.019 --> 00:36:52.539
 begging

00:36:52.539 --> 00:36:53.000
 for money

00:36:53.000 --> 00:36:53.680
 but now

00:36:53.680 --> 00:36:54.360
 because of

00:36:54.360 --> 00:36:55.140
 this healing

00:36:55.140 --> 00:36:55.900
 now he's

00:36:55.900 --> 00:36:56.460

00:36:58.180 --> 00:36:58.840
 he's able

00:36:58.840 --> 00:36:59.380
 to worship

00:36:59.380 --> 00:36:59.820
 God

00:36:59.820 --> 00:37:00.619
 for himself

00:37:00.619 --> 00:37:02.700
 this work

00:37:02.700 --> 00:37:03.660
 of God

00:37:03.660 --> 00:37:04.099
 has allowed

00:37:04.099 --> 00:37:04.420
 him

00:37:04.420 --> 00:37:05.960
 to enjoy

00:37:05.960 --> 00:37:06.300
 something

00:37:06.300 --> 00:37:06.820
 more than

00:37:06.820 --> 00:37:07.480
 just a

00:37:07.480 --> 00:37:08.400
 physical

00:37:08.400 --> 00:37:08.900
 healing

00:37:08.900 --> 00:37:10.039
 but it's

00:37:10.039 --> 00:37:10.460
 allowed him

00:37:10.460 --> 00:37:11.059
 to enjoy

00:37:11.059 --> 00:37:11.579
 this

00:37:11.579 --> 00:37:12.400
 this

00:37:12.400 --> 00:37:13.260
 new

00:37:13.260 --> 00:37:13.860
 found

00:37:13.860 --> 00:37:14.940
 special

00:37:14.940 --> 00:37:15.920
 relationship

00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:16.840
 with the

00:37:16.840 --> 00:37:17.039
 Lord

00:37:17.039 --> 00:37:17.480
 as one

00:37:17.480 --> 00:37:17.720
 who

00:37:17.720 --> 00:37:18.680
 is moving

00:37:18.680 --> 00:37:19.079
 from the

00:37:19.079 --> 00:37:19.480
 threshold

00:37:19.480 --> 00:37:20.280
 now entering

00:37:20.280 --> 00:37:21.059
 into the

00:37:21.059 --> 00:37:21.380
 center

00:37:21.380 --> 00:37:22.680
 he's full

00:37:22.680 --> 00:37:23.280
 of praise

00:37:23.280 --> 00:37:24.579
 it's used

00:37:24.579 --> 00:37:25.660
 it's used

00:37:25.660 --> 00:37:26.039
 of God

00:37:26.039 --> 00:37:26.500
 then to

00:37:26.500 --> 00:37:27.019
 ignite the

00:37:27.019 --> 00:37:27.320
 hearts

00:37:27.320 --> 00:37:27.760
 of the

00:37:27.760 --> 00:37:28.120
 people

00:37:28.120 --> 00:37:28.880
 who are

00:37:28.880 --> 00:37:29.380
 also there

00:37:29.380 --> 00:37:29.599
 in the

00:37:29.599 --> 00:37:29.860
 temple

00:37:29.860 --> 00:37:31.039
 and that's

00:37:31.039 --> 00:37:31.260
 where we

00:37:31.260 --> 00:37:31.620
 direct our

00:37:31.620 --> 00:37:31.940
 attention

00:37:31.940 --> 00:37:32.780
 last

00:37:32.780 --> 00:37:33.200
 in verses

00:37:33.200 --> 00:37:33.579
 10 and

00:37:33.579 --> 00:37:33.900
 12

00:37:33.900 --> 00:37:34.780
 so not

00:37:34.780 --> 00:37:35.140
 only does

00:37:35.140 --> 00:37:35.500
 a lame

00:37:35.500 --> 00:37:35.680
 man

00:37:35.680 --> 00:37:35.940
 direct

00:37:35.940 --> 00:37:36.380
 attention

00:37:36.380 --> 00:37:36.880
 and glory

00:37:36.880 --> 00:37:37.160
 to the

00:37:37.160 --> 00:37:37.380
 Lord

00:37:37.380 --> 00:37:38.380
 but Peter

00:37:38.380 --> 00:37:39.260
 will also

00:37:39.260 --> 00:37:39.620
 direct

00:37:39.620 --> 00:37:40.000
 attention

00:37:40.000 --> 00:37:40.420
 to God

00:37:40.420 --> 00:37:40.740
 we see

00:37:40.740 --> 00:37:40.920
 that

00:37:40.920 --> 00:37:41.519
 at the

00:37:41.519 --> 00:37:41.740
 end

00:37:41.740 --> 00:37:41.880
 of

00:37:41.880 --> 00:37:42.059
 verse

00:37:42.059 --> 00:37:42.400
 10

00:37:42.400 --> 00:37:43.340
 and they

00:37:43.340 --> 00:37:43.960
 were filled

00:37:43.960 --> 00:37:44.659
 with wonder

00:37:44.659 --> 00:37:45.760
 and amazement

00:37:45.760 --> 00:37:46.180
 at what

00:37:46.180 --> 00:37:46.639
 had happened

00:37:46.639 --> 00:37:47.019
 to him

00:37:47.019 --> 00:37:48.400
 they were

00:37:48.400 --> 00:37:48.940
 shocked

00:37:48.940 --> 00:37:50.800
 Jesus

00:37:50.800 --> 00:37:52.019
 had filled

00:37:52.019 --> 00:37:52.599
 Israel

00:37:52.599 --> 00:37:53.440
 in Jerusalem

00:37:53.440 --> 00:37:54.079
 with the

00:37:54.079 --> 00:37:54.780
 same kinds

00:37:54.780 --> 00:37:55.400
 of things

00:37:55.400 --> 00:37:57.000
 filled

00:37:57.000 --> 00:37:57.619
 with wonder

00:37:57.619 --> 00:37:58.180
 filled

00:37:58.180 --> 00:37:58.900
 with amazement

00:37:58.900 --> 00:38:00.559
 and in

00:38:00.559 --> 00:38:01.139
 the final

00:38:01.139 --> 00:38:01.480
 week

00:38:01.480 --> 00:38:02.079
 this final

00:38:02.079 --> 00:38:02.780
 passion

00:38:02.780 --> 00:38:03.159
 week

00:38:03.159 --> 00:38:03.559
 I don't

00:38:03.559 --> 00:38:03.820
 think it's

00:38:03.820 --> 00:38:04.519
 any coincidence

00:38:04.519 --> 00:38:04.880
 that we

00:38:04.880 --> 00:38:05.619
 find in

00:38:05.619 --> 00:38:05.900
 Matthew

00:38:05.900 --> 00:38:06.200
 chapter

00:38:06.200 --> 00:38:06.760
 21

00:38:06.760 --> 00:38:07.500
 that Jesus

00:38:07.500 --> 00:38:07.920
 hailed

00:38:07.920 --> 00:38:08.659
 a lame

00:38:08.659 --> 00:38:08.980
 man

00:38:08.980 --> 00:38:10.039
 Matthew

00:38:10.039 --> 00:38:10.539
 21

00:38:10.539 --> 00:38:10.800
 verses

00:38:10.800 --> 00:38:11.280
 12

00:38:11.280 --> 00:38:11.920
 to 15

00:38:11.920 --> 00:38:12.760
 Jesus

00:38:12.760 --> 00:38:13.199
 entered

00:38:13.199 --> 00:38:14.139
 the temple

00:38:14.139 --> 00:38:14.679
 and drove

00:38:14.679 --> 00:38:15.199
 out all

00:38:15.199 --> 00:38:15.740
 who sold

00:38:15.740 --> 00:38:16.219
 and bought

00:38:16.219 --> 00:38:17.599
 in the

00:38:17.599 --> 00:38:17.880
 temple

00:38:17.880 --> 00:38:18.940
 he overturned

00:38:18.940 --> 00:38:19.440
 the tables

00:38:19.440 --> 00:38:19.940
 of the money

00:38:19.940 --> 00:38:20.420
 changers

00:38:20.420 --> 00:38:21.159
 and the

00:38:21.159 --> 00:38:21.539
 seats

00:38:21.539 --> 00:38:21.980
 of those

00:38:21.980 --> 00:38:22.460
 who sold

00:38:22.460 --> 00:38:22.900
 pigeons

00:38:22.900 --> 00:38:24.619
 and the

00:38:24.619 --> 00:38:25.119
 blind

00:38:25.119 --> 00:38:26.199
 and the

00:38:26.199 --> 00:38:26.639
 lame

00:38:26.639 --> 00:38:27.300
 came to

00:38:27.300 --> 00:38:27.639
 him

00:38:27.639 --> 00:38:28.119
 in the

00:38:28.119 --> 00:38:28.400
 temple

00:38:28.400 --> 00:38:29.579
 and he

00:38:29.579 --> 00:38:29.820
 healed

00:38:29.820 --> 00:38:30.119
 them

00:38:30.119 --> 00:38:31.360
 but when

00:38:31.360 --> 00:38:31.760
 the chief

00:38:31.760 --> 00:38:32.059
 priest

00:38:32.059 --> 00:38:32.300
 and the

00:38:32.300 --> 00:38:32.559
 scribe

00:38:32.559 --> 00:38:32.960
 saw the

00:38:32.960 --> 00:38:33.240
 wonderful

00:38:33.240 --> 00:38:33.719
 things

00:38:33.719 --> 00:38:34.199
 that he

00:38:34.199 --> 00:38:34.559
 did

00:38:34.559 --> 00:38:35.079
 and the

00:38:35.079 --> 00:38:35.340
 children

00:38:35.340 --> 00:38:35.840
 crying out

00:38:35.840 --> 00:38:36.019
 in the

00:38:36.019 --> 00:38:36.340
 temple

00:38:36.340 --> 00:38:37.139
 Hosanna

00:38:37.139 --> 00:38:37.500
 to the

00:38:37.500 --> 00:38:37.760
 son of

00:38:37.760 --> 00:38:38.059
 David

00:38:38.059 --> 00:38:38.539
 they

00:38:38.539 --> 00:38:39.099
 were

00:38:39.099 --> 00:38:39.659
 indignant

00:38:39.659 --> 00:38:41.960
 you may

00:38:41.960 --> 00:38:42.380
 see

00:38:42.380 --> 00:38:43.559
 wonderful

00:38:43.559 --> 00:38:44.119
 things

00:38:44.119 --> 00:38:45.460
 you may

00:38:45.460 --> 00:38:46.179
 see amazing

00:38:46.179 --> 00:38:46.719
 things

00:38:46.719 --> 00:38:48.519
 but it's

00:38:48.519 --> 00:38:48.900
 never meant

00:38:48.900 --> 00:38:49.279
 to stop

00:38:49.279 --> 00:38:49.539
 there

00:38:49.539 --> 00:38:50.639
 it's meant

00:38:50.639 --> 00:38:51.079
 to direct

00:38:51.079 --> 00:38:51.579
 your heart

00:38:51.579 --> 00:38:52.800
 to him

00:38:52.800 --> 00:38:54.159
 to God

00:38:54.159 --> 00:38:55.960
 and that's

00:38:55.960 --> 00:38:57.019
 the fatal

00:38:57.019 --> 00:38:57.480
 flaw

00:38:57.480 --> 00:38:58.219
 of the

00:38:58.219 --> 00:38:58.500
 scribes

00:38:58.500 --> 00:38:59.059
 and Pharisees

00:38:59.059 --> 00:38:59.599
 they saw

00:38:59.599 --> 00:39:00.579
 these wonderful

00:39:00.579 --> 00:39:01.119
 things

00:39:01.119 --> 00:39:01.559
 that were

00:39:01.559 --> 00:39:02.139
 done by

00:39:02.139 --> 00:39:02.579
 Jesus

00:39:02.579 --> 00:39:04.099
 him healing

00:39:04.099 --> 00:39:04.539
 the lame

00:39:04.539 --> 00:39:05.300
 him healing

00:39:05.300 --> 00:39:05.820
 the blind

00:39:05.820 --> 00:39:06.940
 and instead

00:39:06.940 --> 00:39:07.279
 of their

00:39:07.279 --> 00:39:07.719
 hearts being

00:39:07.719 --> 00:39:08.139
 turned

00:39:08.139 --> 00:39:08.539
 towards

00:39:08.539 --> 00:39:08.939
 God

00:39:08.939 --> 00:39:09.379
 they were

00:39:09.379 --> 00:39:09.639
 set

00:39:09.639 --> 00:39:10.079
 against

00:39:10.079 --> 00:39:10.319
 him

00:39:10.319 --> 00:39:10.699
 they

00:39:10.699 --> 00:39:11.059
 were

00:39:11.059 --> 00:39:11.679
 furious

00:39:11.679 --> 00:39:12.239
 they

00:39:12.239 --> 00:39:12.519
 were

00:39:12.519 --> 00:39:13.079
 indignant

00:39:13.079 --> 00:39:13.500
 they

00:39:13.500 --> 00:39:13.739
 were

00:39:13.739 --> 00:39:14.359
 not

00:39:14.359 --> 00:39:14.980
 full

00:39:14.980 --> 00:39:15.159
 of

00:39:15.159 --> 00:39:15.419
 faith

00:39:15.419 --> 00:39:15.699
 they

00:39:15.699 --> 00:39:16.519
 rejected

00:39:16.519 --> 00:39:18.039
 their

00:39:18.039 --> 00:39:18.399
 Messiah

00:39:18.399 --> 00:39:20.439
 and this

00:39:20.439 --> 00:39:21.059
 miracle

00:39:21.059 --> 00:39:22.039
 of healing

00:39:22.039 --> 00:39:22.379
 a lame

00:39:22.379 --> 00:39:22.539
 man

00:39:22.539 --> 00:39:22.839
 I think

00:39:22.839 --> 00:39:22.980
 is

00:39:22.980 --> 00:39:23.419
 significant

00:39:23.419 --> 00:39:23.819
 because

00:39:23.819 --> 00:39:24.279
 it would

00:39:24.279 --> 00:39:24.399
 have

00:39:24.399 --> 00:39:24.839
 created

00:39:24.839 --> 00:39:25.099
 that

00:39:25.099 --> 00:39:25.599
 immediate

00:39:25.599 --> 00:39:26.819
 connection

00:39:26.819 --> 00:39:27.739
 with what

00:39:27.739 --> 00:39:28.019
 Jesus

00:39:28.019 --> 00:39:28.500
 had done

00:39:28.500 --> 00:39:29.439
 just a few

00:39:29.439 --> 00:39:29.959
 weeks

00:39:29.959 --> 00:39:30.419
 before

00:39:30.420 --> 00:39:32.780
 it

00:39:32.780 --> 00:39:33.059
 led

00:39:33.059 --> 00:39:33.500
 to

00:39:33.500 --> 00:39:33.900
 wonder

00:39:33.900 --> 00:39:35.059
 but

00:39:35.059 --> 00:39:35.180
 it

00:39:35.180 --> 00:39:35.480
 wasn't

00:39:35.480 --> 00:39:35.780
 enough

00:39:35.780 --> 00:39:35.960
 for

00:39:35.960 --> 00:39:36.079
 them

 God

00:41:26.299 --> 00:41:26.939
 cares

00:41:26.939 --> 00:41:27.739
 God

00:41:27.739 --> 00:41:28.219
 cares

00:41:28.219 --> 00:41:29.139
 enough

00:41:29.139 --> 00:41:29.639
 about

00:41:29.639 --> 00:41:30.099
 us

00:41:30.099 --> 00:41:31.059
 to

00:41:31.059 --> 00:41:31.879
 give

00:41:31.879 --> 00:41:32.239
 us

00:41:32.239 --> 00:41:32.959
 opportunities

00:41:32.959 --> 00:41:33.659
 to raise

00:41:33.659 --> 00:41:34.159
 awareness

00:41:34.159 --> 00:41:34.739
 and to

00:41:34.739 --> 00:41:35.500
 let us

00:41:35.500 --> 00:41:35.779
 then

00:41:35.779 --> 00:41:36.259
 step

00:41:36.259 --> 00:41:36.559
 in

00:41:36.559 --> 00:41:37.500
 and

00:41:37.500 --> 00:41:38.359
 I

00:41:38.359 --> 00:41:38.679
 probably

00:41:38.679 --> 00:41:39.019
 didn't

00:41:39.019 --> 00:41:39.419
 do as

00:41:39.419 --> 00:41:39.759
 well

00:41:39.759 --> 00:41:40.319
 as I

00:41:40.319 --> 00:41:40.500
 would

00:41:40.500 --> 00:41:40.619
 have

00:41:40.619 --> 00:41:40.879
 liked

00:41:40.880 --> 00:41:41.059
 because

00:41:41.059 --> 00:41:41.340
 after

00:41:41.340 --> 00:41:41.900
 pushing

00:41:41.900 --> 00:41:42.099
 the

00:41:42.099 --> 00:41:42.360
 car

00:41:42.360 --> 00:41:42.760
 I

00:41:42.760 --> 00:41:42.960
 didn't

00:41:42.960 --> 00:41:43.119
 have

00:41:43.119 --> 00:41:43.340
 enough

00:41:43.340 --> 00:41:43.680
 breath

00:41:43.680 --> 00:41:44.340
 to

00:41:44.340 --> 00:41:44.660
 say

00:41:44.660 --> 00:41:45.480
 anything

00:41:45.480 --> 00:41:46.119
 meaningful

00:41:46.119 --> 00:41:46.579
 but

00:41:46.579 --> 00:41:48.160
 by

00:41:48.160 --> 00:41:48.539
 God's

00:41:48.539 --> 00:41:48.780
 grace

00:41:48.780 --> 00:41:49.039
 he

00:41:49.039 --> 00:41:49.539
 gives

00:41:49.539 --> 00:41:49.720
 us

00:41:49.720 --> 00:41:50.320
 opportunities

00:41:50.320 --> 00:41:52.640
 God

00:41:52.640 --> 00:41:53.579
 gives

00:41:53.579 --> 00:41:54.619
 those

00:41:54.619 --> 00:41:55.119
 opportunities

00:41:55.119 --> 00:41:55.840
 to us

00:41:55.840 --> 00:41:56.780
 every

00:41:56.780 --> 00:41:57.079
 single

00:41:57.079 --> 00:41:57.360
 week

00:41:57.360 --> 00:41:58.740
 I

00:41:58.740 --> 00:41:59.019
 wonder

00:41:59.019 --> 00:41:59.480
 do we

00:41:59.480 --> 00:41:59.680
 have

00:41:59.680 --> 00:42:00.360
 hearts

00:42:00.360 --> 00:42:00.820
 and minds

00:42:00.820 --> 00:42:01.099
 that are

00:42:01.099 --> 00:42:01.360
 ready

00:42:01.360 --> 00:42:02.320
 to press

00:42:02.320 --> 00:42:02.579
 in

00:42:02.579 --> 00:42:03.579
 to be

00:42:03.579 --> 00:42:03.820
 used

00:42:03.820 --> 00:42:03.960
 of

00:42:03.960 --> 00:42:04.200
 God

00:42:04.200 --> 00:42:04.700
 not

00:42:04.700 --> 00:42:04.860
 to

00:42:04.860 --> 00:42:05.039
 give

00:42:05.039 --> 00:42:05.200
 what

00:42:05.200 --> 00:42:05.320
 you

00:42:05.320 --> 00:42:05.619
 don't

00:42:05.619 --> 00:42:05.960
 have

00:42:05.960 --> 00:42:06.900
 but

00:42:06.900 --> 00:42:07.059
 to

00:42:07.059 --> 00:42:07.280
 give

00:42:07.280 --> 00:42:07.519
 what

00:42:07.519 --> 00:42:07.820
 God

00:42:07.820 --> 00:42:07.940
 has

00:42:07.940 --> 00:42:08.280
 entrusted

00:42:08.280 --> 00:42:08.460
 to

00:42:08.460 --> 00:42:08.680
 you

00:42:08.680 --> 00:42:09.119
 and

00:42:09.119 --> 00:42:09.340
 most

00:42:09.340 --> 00:42:09.760
 importantly

00:42:09.760 --> 00:42:09.960
 to

00:42:09.960 --> 00:42:10.240
 give

00:42:10.239 --> 00:42:10.779
 the

00:42:10.779 --> 00:42:11.139
 grace

00:42:11.139 --> 00:42:11.839
 that

00:42:11.839 --> 00:42:12.019
 God

00:42:12.019 --> 00:42:12.159
 has

00:42:12.159 --> 00:42:12.359
 given

00:42:12.539 --> 00:42:12.759
 you

00:42:12.759 --> 00:42:12.939
 to

00:42:12.939 --> 00:42:13.299
 share

00:42:13.299 --> 00:42:14.019
 with

00:42:14.019 --> 00:42:14.119
 the

00:42:14.759 --> 00:42:15.039
 oh

00:42:15.039 --> 00:42:15.259
 may

 God

00:42:15.459 --> 00:42:15.719

00:42:22.239 --> 00:42:22.719
 so

00:42:22.719 --> 00:42:22.819
 that

00:42:22.819 --> 00:42:22.939
 we

00:42:25.000 --> 00:42:25.379
 ways

00:42:25.379 --> 00:42:27.119
 Lord

00:42:27.119 --> 00:42:27.399
 thank

00:42:27.399 --> 00:42:27.559
 you

00:42:27.559 --> 00:42:27.919
 for

00:42:27.919 --> 00:42:29.479
 modeling

00:42:29.479 --> 00:42:29.739
 this

00:42:29.739 --> 00:42:29.939
 for

00:42:29.939 --> 00:42:30.279
 us

00:42:30.279 --> 00:42:31.359
 and

00:42:31.359 --> 00:42:31.519
 for

00:42:31.519 --> 00:42:31.759
 being

00:42:31.759 --> 00:42:32.159
 patient

00:42:32.159 --> 00:42:32.359
 with

00:42:32.359 --> 00:42:32.519
 us

00:42:32.519 --> 00:42:32.619
 in

00:42:32.619 --> 00:42:32.719
 the

00:42:32.719 --> 00:42:33.219
 process

00:42:33.219 --> 00:42:34.459
 oh

00:42:34.459 --> 00:42:34.659
 how

00:42:34.659 --> 00:42:34.979
 many

00:42:34.979 --> 00:42:35.579
 opportunities

00:42:35.579 --> 00:42:35.959
 we

00:42:35.959 --> 00:42:36.339
 miss

00:42:36.339 --> 00:42:37.459
 and

00:42:37.459 --> 00:42:37.459


00:42:37.459 --> 00:42:38.199
 not

00:42:38.199 --> 00:42:38.839
 necessarily

00:42:38.839 --> 00:42:39.439
 because

00:42:39.440 --> 00:42:40.099
 we

00:42:40.099 --> 00:42:40.800
 intend

00:42:40.800 --> 00:42:41.099
 to

00:42:41.099 --> 00:42:41.519
 but

00:42:41.519 --> 00:42:41.740
 just

00:42:41.740 --> 00:42:42.039
 because

00:42:42.039 --> 00:42:42.260
 we're

00:42:42.260 --> 00:42:42.720
 blind

00:42:42.720 --> 00:42:42.920
 to

00:42:42.920 --> 00:42:43.200
 them

00:42:43.200 --> 00:42:44.420
 so

00:42:44.420 --> 00:42:44.639
 God

00:42:44.639 --> 00:42:45.000
 open

00:42:45.000 --> 00:42:45.200
 our

00:42:45.200 --> 00:42:45.619
 eyes

00:42:45.619 --> 00:42:47.059
 and

00:42:47.059 --> 00:42:47.480
 raise

00:42:47.480 --> 00:42:48.340
 within

00:42:48.340 --> 00:42:48.559
 our

00:42:48.559 --> 00:42:49.000
 hearts

00:42:49.000 --> 00:42:50.280
 may

00:42:50.280 --> 00:42:50.460
 they

00:42:50.460 --> 00:42:50.820
 grow

00:42:50.820 --> 00:42:51.099
 in

00:42:51.099 --> 00:42:51.579
 compassion

00:42:51.579 --> 00:42:52.579
 for the

00:42:52.579 --> 00:42:52.760
 world

00:42:52.760 --> 00:42:53.059
 around

00:42:53.059 --> 00:42:53.480
 us

00:42:53.480 --> 00:42:54.360
 for our

00:42:54.360 --> 00:42:54.740
 neighbors

00:42:54.740 --> 00:42:55.800
 for our

00:42:55.800 --> 00:42:56.240
 coworkers

00:42:56.240 --> 00:42:56.960
 for our

00:42:56.960 --> 00:42:57.360

00:42:57.360 --> 00:42:58.119
 classmates

00:42:58.119 --> 00:42:58.860
 wherever

00:42:58.860 --> 00:42:59.740
 you place

00:42:59.740 --> 00:43:00.000
 us

00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:00.280
 Lord

00:43:00.280 --> 00:43:01.119
 even

00:43:01.119 --> 00:43:01.579
 on

00:43:01.579 --> 00:43:02.740
 those

00:43:02.740 --> 00:43:03.519
 chance

00:43:03.519 --> 00:43:04.019
 moments

00:43:04.019 --> 00:43:04.559
 when we're

00:43:04.559 --> 00:43:05.059
 when we

00:43:05.059 --> 00:43:05.320
 see

00:43:05.320 --> 00:43:05.860
 individuals

00:43:05.860 --> 00:43:06.400
 who are

00:43:06.400 --> 00:43:06.599
 in

00:43:06.599 --> 00:43:06.860
 need

00:43:06.860 --> 00:43:07.280
 and

00:43:07.280 --> 00:43:07.420
 we

00:43:07.420 --> 00:43:07.579
 have

00:43:07.579 --> 00:43:07.800
 some

00:43:07.800 --> 00:43:08.160

00:43:08.160 --> 00:43:09.120
 and

00:43:09.120 --> 00:43:09.320
 Lord

00:43:09.320 --> 00:43:09.840
 I

00:43:09.840 --> 00:43:10.019
 pray

00:43:10.019 --> 00:43:10.160
 that

00:43:10.160 --> 00:43:10.300
 you

00:43:10.300 --> 00:43:10.420
 would

00:43:10.420 --> 00:43:10.599
 help

00:43:10.599 --> 00:43:10.900
 us

00:43:10.900 --> 00:43:11.579
