00:00:00.980 --> 00:00:05.639
 So if you could open your Bibles to John 4, verse 1.

00:00:07.020 --> 00:00:16.879
 Now, when Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John,

00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:21.839
 although Jesus himself did not baptize but only his disciples,

00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:26.219
 he left Judea and departed again for Galilee.

00:00:26.219 --> 00:00:29.620
 And he had to pass through Samaria.

00:00:30.539 --> 00:00:37.219
 So he came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the field that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.

00:00:38.740 --> 00:00:40.140
 Jacob's well was there.

00:00:40.700 --> 00:00:46.399
 So Jesus, wearied as he was from his journey, was sitting beside the well.

00:00:47.219 --> 00:00:48.879
 It was about the sixth hour.

00:00:49.879 --> 00:00:55.240
 A woman from Samaria came to draw water.

00:00:56.679 --> 00:00:57.659
 Jesus said to her,

00:00:57.659 --> 00:00:59.619
 Give me a drink.

00:01:00.619 --> 00:01:03.899
 For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.

00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:07.379
 The Samaritan woman said to him,

00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:15.359
 How is it that you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a woman from Samaria?

00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:19.879
 For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.

00:01:21.420 --> 00:01:22.700
 Jesus answered her,

00:01:22.700 --> 00:01:30.640
 If you knew the gift of God and who it is that is saying to you, give me a drink,

00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:36.659
 you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.

00:01:36.659 --> 00:01:39.539
 The woman said to him,

00:01:39.539 --> 00:01:44.119
 Sir, you have nothing to draw water with and the well is deep.

00:01:44.619 --> 00:01:46.500
 Where do you get that living water?

00:01:47.579 --> 00:01:50.099
 Are you greater than our father Jacob?

00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:56.879
 He gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock.

00:01:56.879 --> 00:02:00.039
 Jesus said to her,

00:02:00.039 --> 00:02:05.019
 Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again.

00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:12.180
 But whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again.

00:02:13.180 --> 00:02:21.759
 The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.

00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:24.739
 The woman said to him,

00:02:25.459 --> 00:02:32.399
 Sir, give me this water so that I will not be thirsty or have to come here to draw water.

00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:35.639
 Jesus said to her,

00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:38.819
 Go call your husband and come here.

00:02:39.979 --> 00:02:41.500
 The woman answered him,

00:02:42.500 --> 00:02:44.159
 I have no husband.

00:02:45.379 --> 00:02:46.680
 Jesus said to her,

00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:49.280
 You are right in saying,

00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:50.620
 I have no husband,

00:02:50.620 --> 00:02:53.379
 for you have had five husbands,

00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:57.379
 and the one you now have is not your husband.

00:02:58.219 --> 00:03:00.599
 What you have said is true.

00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:03.480
 The woman said to him,

00:03:04.480 --> 00:03:07.500
 Sir, I perceive that you're a prophet.

00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:10.599
 Our fathers worshipped on this mountain,

00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:14.819
 but you say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.

00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:17.740
 Jesus said to her,

00:03:17.740 --> 00:03:19.159
 Woman,

00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:20.879
 Woman, believe me,

00:03:21.540 --> 00:03:22.719
 the hour is coming

00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:25.159
 when neither on this mountain

00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:26.939
 nor in Jerusalem

00:03:26.939 --> 00:03:29.040
 will you worship the Father.

00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:32.640
 You worship what you do not know.

00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:35.740
 We worship what we know,

00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:38.320
 for salvation is from the Jews.

00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:41.959
 But the hour is coming,

00:03:41.959 --> 00:03:41.979
 but the hour is coming,

00:03:42.500 --> 00:03:44.319
 and is now here,

00:03:44.859 --> 00:03:49.180
 when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth.

00:03:50.180 --> 00:03:54.079
 For the Father is seeking such people to worship him.

00:03:55.419 --> 00:03:56.740
 God is spirit,

00:03:57.419 --> 00:03:59.139
 and those who worship him

00:03:59.139 --> 00:04:02.740
 must worship in spirit and truth.

00:04:02.740 --> 00:04:05.780
 The woman said to him,

00:04:06.780 --> 00:04:08.960
 I know that Messiah is coming,

00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:11.320
 he is who is called Christ.

00:04:11.920 --> 00:04:12.700
 When he comes,

00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:14.280
 he will tell us all things.

00:04:15.740 --> 00:04:17.160
 Jesus said to her,

00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:20.060
 I who speak to you

00:04:20.060 --> 00:04:21.379
 am he.

00:04:21.379 --> 00:04:24.240
 Just then,

00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:25.680
 his disciples came back.

00:04:26.420 --> 00:04:28.540
 They marveled that he was talking with a woman,

00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:30.240
 but no one said,

00:04:30.899 --> 00:04:31.800
 What do you seek?

00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:32.600
 Or,

00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:34.060
 Why are you talking with her?

00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:35.600
 So,

00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:37.639
 the woman left her water jar

00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:39.159
 and went away into town

00:04:39.159 --> 00:04:40.839
 and said to the people,

00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:45.579
 Come see a man who told me all that I ever did.

00:04:46.259 --> 00:04:47.519
 Can this be the Christ?

00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:50.019
 They went out of the town

00:04:50.019 --> 00:04:51.279
 and were coming to him.

00:04:52.939 --> 00:04:53.419
 Meanwhile,

00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:54.839
 the disciples were urging him,

00:04:54.919 --> 00:04:55.199
 saying,

00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:55.799
 Rabbi,

00:04:56.159 --> 00:04:56.479
 eat.

00:04:57.399 --> 00:04:58.659
 But he said to them,

00:04:59.139 --> 00:05:00.719
 I have food to eat

00:05:00.719 --> 00:05:02.060
 that you do not know about.

00:05:03.159 --> 00:05:03.659
 So,

00:05:03.799 --> 00:05:05.240
 the disciples said to one another,

00:05:05.939 --> 00:05:07.519
 Has anyone brought him something to eat?

00:05:08.659 --> 00:05:09.719
 Jesus said to them,

00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:13.099
 My food is to do the will of him who sent me

00:05:13.099 --> 00:05:14.839
 and to accomplish his work.

00:05:15.699 --> 00:05:16.979
 Do you not say,

00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:18.560
 there are yet four months,

00:05:18.819 --> 00:05:19.799
 then comes the harvest?

00:05:21.099 --> 00:05:21.419
 Look,

00:05:21.819 --> 00:05:22.740
 I tell you,

00:05:23.339 --> 00:05:24.599
 lift up your eyes

00:05:24.599 --> 00:05:27.779
 and see that the fields are white for harvest.

00:05:28.740 --> 00:05:30.180
 Already the one who reaps

00:05:30.180 --> 00:05:31.359
 is receiving wages

00:05:31.359 --> 00:05:33.680
 and gathering fruit for eternal life,

00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:35.939
 so that the sower and reaper

00:05:35.939 --> 00:05:37.319
 may rejoice together.

00:05:38.659 --> 00:05:40.500
 For here the saying holds true,

00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:43.620
 one sows and another reaps.

00:05:43.620 --> 00:05:47.819
 I sent you to reap that for which you did not labor.

00:05:48.819 --> 00:05:49.860
 Others have labored

00:05:49.860 --> 00:05:52.560
 and you have entered into their labor.

00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:56.879
 Many Samaritans from that town believed in him

00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:58.280
 because of the woman's testimony.

00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:01.199
 He told me all that I ever did.

00:06:02.019 --> 00:06:04.079
 So when the Samaritans came to him,

00:06:04.819 --> 00:06:06.519
 they asked him to stay with them

00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:09.079
 and he stayed there two days

00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:12.500
 and many more believed because of his word.

00:06:13.259 --> 00:06:14.299
 They said to the woman,

00:06:14.740 --> 00:06:18.039
 It's no longer because what you said that we believe,

00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:20.240
 for we have heard for ourselves

00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:25.979
 and we know that this is indeed the saviour of the world.

00:06:25.980 --> 00:06:35.379
 It's so good to see you all here today.

00:06:36.020 --> 00:06:37.460
 If you're into football,

00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:40.140
 I hope somewhat you've recovered

00:06:40.140 --> 00:06:42.240
 from the big weekend yesterday.

00:06:43.500 --> 00:06:43.939
 Yeah.

00:06:44.780 --> 00:06:47.040
 And thank you to the elders

00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:48.580
 for giving me the opportunity

00:06:48.580 --> 00:06:51.840
 to share God's worth with you all today again.

00:06:52.460 --> 00:06:53.720
 And before we dive in the hood,

00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:55.300
 why don't we pray together?

00:06:55.300 --> 00:06:55.960
 Thank you.

00:06:55.980 --> 00:06:57.520
 Let's bow our heads and pray.

00:07:01.520 --> 00:07:02.780
 Oh, Heavenly Father,

00:07:02.960 --> 00:07:07.540
 we have a heart that is so prone to wonder.

00:07:09.500 --> 00:07:10.720
 And our faith,

00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:14.280
 sometimes it just goes cold.

00:07:16.860 --> 00:07:19.759
 So I ask that you would encourage us,

00:07:21.280 --> 00:07:23.960
 that you may convict us,

00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:27.379
 may comfort us,

00:07:27.500 --> 00:07:32.419
 and correct us where needed.

00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:37.979
 Lord, we're so powerless,

00:07:38.979 --> 00:07:43.539
 yet you're so good and so faithful.

00:07:43.540 --> 00:07:46.340
 Lord, please help us.

00:07:47.280 --> 00:07:48.580
 In Jesus' name we pray.

00:07:49.200 --> 00:07:49.460
 Amen.

00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:52.640
 Yeah, so for the past eight weeks,

00:07:52.760 --> 00:07:56.520
 we as a church have been going through the book of John

00:07:56.519 --> 00:07:58.060
 and getting to know Jesus.

00:07:58.060 --> 00:08:03.000
 And today, I would like to share with you all

00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:06.319
 something that I myself struggle a lot,

00:08:06.479 --> 00:08:09.379
 and I believe some of us also do,

00:08:09.379 --> 00:08:12.860
 and that is making Jesus known.

00:08:14.060 --> 00:08:15.100
 It's not easy.

00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:17.019
 It was never easy for me.

00:08:17.899 --> 00:08:21.100
 And I hope today's passage

00:08:21.100 --> 00:08:24.240
 and also the stuff that I'm going to share

00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:25.060
 may help us.

00:08:26.420 --> 00:08:28.980
 Yeah, so our passage today is from John chapter 4.

00:08:29.100 --> 00:08:30.920
 It would be great if you can keep your Bibles opened

00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:32.080
 and follow along.

00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:34.799
 And I'm going to share two main points.

00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:36.860
 Thank you.

00:08:39.379 --> 00:08:44.080
 Yeah, first point, why make Jesus known?

00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:47.320
 And second, how should we make Jesus known?

00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:51.460
 So the first is, why make Jesus known?

00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:53.299
 Well, from God's perspective,

00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:55.000
 it is mission critical.

00:08:55.919 --> 00:08:56.860
 It's mission critical.

00:08:57.799 --> 00:09:01.539
 How do you know when something is so mission critical

00:09:01.539 --> 00:09:02.279
 to somebody?

00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:05.179
 Well, you can tell by their words,

00:09:05.659 --> 00:09:08.059
 and you can also see from their actions.

00:09:09.379 --> 00:09:13.939
 For example, how determined one is

00:09:13.939 --> 00:09:16.840
 in pushing barriers to achieve their goal,

00:09:17.740 --> 00:09:21.340
 or how willing one is to sacrifice

00:09:21.340 --> 00:09:22.600
 pretty much everything

00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:24.740
 in order to achieve something.

00:09:25.620 --> 00:09:27.840
 If you look at Nelson Mandela,

00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:31.480
 it's not happening, this thing.

00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:35.899
 His mission was to bring democracy

00:09:35.899 --> 00:09:38.460
 and freedom to South Africa.

00:09:38.680 --> 00:09:40.060
 Any South Africans here?

00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:41.580
 No?

00:09:43.060 --> 00:09:44.560
 Well, we'll pray for some.

00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:45.840
 Yeah.

00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:49.120
 A major sacrifice that he has to make

00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:50.860
 is what you see in the picture.

00:09:51.100 --> 00:09:52.840
 He was in prison for 27 years.

00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:55.259
 But that never stopped him

00:09:55.259 --> 00:09:56.259
 to fight.

00:09:56.259 --> 00:09:59.259
 To fight against the apartheid

00:09:59.259 --> 00:10:01.399
 that ruined so many lives.

00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:03.740
 Upon his release,

00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:05.840
 he kept working towards his mission.

00:10:07.059 --> 00:10:08.480
 And despite intense personal,

00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:10.779
 political, and racial barriers,

00:10:11.460 --> 00:10:12.559
 he finally became

00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:16.000
 South Africa's first black president.

00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:18.500
 Through his determination

00:10:18.500 --> 00:10:19.939
 and his sacrifices,

00:10:19.940 --> 00:10:21.560
 we can see

00:10:21.560 --> 00:10:23.540
 what was critical

00:10:23.540 --> 00:10:24.920
 to Nelson Mandela.

00:10:26.100 --> 00:10:27.440
 In the same way,

00:10:27.880 --> 00:10:28.480
 we can see that

00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:29.700
 making Jesus known

00:10:29.700 --> 00:10:32.020
 is mission critical to God.

00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:35.900
 John 4, verse 3 and 4 says,

00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:37.280
 He, Jesus,

00:10:38.020 --> 00:10:38.980
 left Judea

00:10:38.980 --> 00:10:40.480
 and departed again

00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:41.460
 for Galilee.

00:10:42.100 --> 00:10:43.200
 And he had to,

00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:44.400
 he had to

00:10:44.400 --> 00:10:45.620
 pass through Samaria.

00:10:46.980 --> 00:10:48.440
 If we look at this map,

00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:51.280
 Oh yeah, it's happening.

00:10:52.460 --> 00:10:53.560
 It shows us

00:10:53.560 --> 00:10:55.100
 how to get from Judea

00:10:55.100 --> 00:10:56.360
 to Galilee.

00:10:57.640 --> 00:10:58.640
 You see from the arrows,

00:10:58.880 --> 00:10:59.640
 there are two ways.

00:11:00.180 --> 00:11:00.900
 One is longer

00:11:00.900 --> 00:11:01.940
 and the other is shorter.

00:11:03.260 --> 00:11:03.820
 It's obvious

00:11:03.820 --> 00:11:04.540
 that Jesus

00:11:04.540 --> 00:11:05.680
 did not have to

00:11:05.680 --> 00:11:06.520
 go through Samaria.

00:11:07.100 --> 00:11:07.880
 There are two ways.

00:11:08.660 --> 00:11:09.980
 So why did John say

00:11:09.980 --> 00:11:10.760
 that Jesus

00:11:10.760 --> 00:11:11.840
 have to

00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:12.820
 go through Samaria?

00:11:14.980 --> 00:11:16.040
 That is because

00:11:16.040 --> 00:11:17.780
 Jesus insisted on it.

00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:19.260
 He was determined

00:11:19.260 --> 00:11:20.300
 to go there

00:11:20.300 --> 00:11:21.780
 to make himself known

00:11:21.780 --> 00:11:23.580
 despite

00:11:23.580 --> 00:11:25.140
 all the significant

00:11:25.140 --> 00:11:25.820
 barriers

00:11:25.820 --> 00:11:27.300
 that he had to face.

00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:28.780
 What barrier?

00:11:29.280 --> 00:11:29.540
 Well,

00:11:29.640 --> 00:11:30.180
 the first one

00:11:30.180 --> 00:11:30.780
 is racial.

00:11:32.180 --> 00:11:32.740
 Samaritans

00:11:32.740 --> 00:11:33.200
 came from

00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:34.080
 the northern kingdom

00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:34.660
 Israelites

00:11:34.660 --> 00:11:35.640
 who married

00:11:35.640 --> 00:11:36.640
 a bunch of foreigners

00:11:36.640 --> 00:11:38.160
 that the Assyrian kings

00:11:38.160 --> 00:11:39.240
 basically assigned

00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:39.980
 to go live there.

00:11:41.140 --> 00:11:42.300
 So the Jews,

00:11:43.040 --> 00:11:43.180
 well,

00:11:43.260 --> 00:11:43.780
 to the Jews,

00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:44.640
 Samaritans

00:11:44.640 --> 00:11:45.760
 are unclean

00:11:45.760 --> 00:11:46.780
 half-breds.

00:11:46.779 --> 00:11:48.500
 Second

00:11:48.500 --> 00:11:50.039
 is religious barrier.

00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:51.639
 Samaritans

00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:52.439
 are religious

00:11:52.439 --> 00:11:53.799
 rivals to the Jews.

00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:55.059
 This is because

00:11:55.059 --> 00:11:55.860
 Samaritans

00:11:55.860 --> 00:11:56.779
 recognized only

00:11:56.779 --> 00:11:57.399
 five books

00:11:57.399 --> 00:11:58.079
 of the entire

00:11:58.079 --> 00:11:58.659
 Old Testament,

00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:00.299
 the books of Moses,

00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:02.019
 and they discarded

00:12:02.019 --> 00:12:03.079
 the rest of the 34.

00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:04.899
 They built

00:12:04.899 --> 00:12:05.579
 their own temple,

00:12:06.100 --> 00:12:06.740
 didn't want to go

00:12:06.740 --> 00:12:07.179
 to Jerusalem

00:12:07.179 --> 00:12:07.720
 to worship,

00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:09.120
 and they worship

00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:09.959
 other gods too.

00:12:11.299 --> 00:12:12.100
 The third

00:12:12.100 --> 00:12:13.319
 is a social barrier.

00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:13.360
 Samaria.

00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:14.480
 Basically,

00:12:14.800 --> 00:12:15.840
 if you're a criminal

00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:16.940
 and you want to

00:12:16.940 --> 00:12:18.560
 dodge all your penalty

00:12:18.560 --> 00:12:19.440
 like parking fines

00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:19.800
 or whatever,

00:12:20.180 --> 00:12:21.100
 you run to Samaria.

00:12:22.280 --> 00:12:23.180
 And then they will

00:12:23.180 --> 00:12:23.800
 welcome you

00:12:23.800 --> 00:12:24.420
 and they will

00:12:24.420 --> 00:12:25.180
 take care of you.

00:12:26.660 --> 00:12:27.379
 To us,

00:12:27.540 --> 00:12:28.200
 these things are like

00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:28.820
 no big deal,

00:12:28.920 --> 00:12:29.140
 you know,

00:12:29.580 --> 00:12:29.940
 whatever.

00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:31.440
 But to the Jews,

00:12:32.340 --> 00:12:33.000
 the Samaritans

00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:33.920
 are like parasites.

00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:35.300
 And Samaria

00:12:35.300 --> 00:12:36.540
 is like a quarantine

00:12:36.540 --> 00:12:37.800
 hotel during COVID.

00:12:38.760 --> 00:12:39.620
 They absolutely

00:12:39.620 --> 00:12:40.560
 hated their guts.

00:12:40.559 --> 00:12:41.519
 That's why

00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:42.419
 the Samaritan woman

00:12:42.419 --> 00:12:43.419
 was so shocked,

00:12:44.019 --> 00:12:44.239
 you know,

00:12:44.239 --> 00:12:44.759
 that Jesus

00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:45.479
 would ask her

00:12:45.479 --> 00:12:46.599
 for water.

00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:48.279
 No Jews

00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:49.199
 would ever go there

00:12:49.199 --> 00:12:51.299
 and have any contacts

00:12:51.299 --> 00:12:52.279
 with any of them

00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:53.459
 except for criminals.

00:12:54.579 --> 00:12:55.279
 All Jews

00:12:55.279 --> 00:12:56.419
 would rather go

00:12:56.419 --> 00:12:57.219
 the long way

00:12:57.219 --> 00:12:57.919
 around

00:12:57.919 --> 00:13:00.219
 to go from

00:13:00.219 --> 00:13:01.139
 Judea in the south

00:13:01.139 --> 00:13:02.139
 to Galilee in the north.

00:13:03.199 --> 00:13:03.759
 But because

00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:04.419
 Jesus

00:13:04.419 --> 00:13:05.739
 or making

00:13:05.739 --> 00:13:06.479
 Jesus known

00:13:06.479 --> 00:13:07.359
 is so critical

00:13:07.359 --> 00:13:08.299
 to God's mission,

00:13:09.019 --> 00:13:09.399
 God was

00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:10.019
 Jesus who

00:13:10.019 --> 00:13:10.960
 determined to push

00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:11.879
 through all the barriers

00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:12.679
 to go there.

00:13:14.159 --> 00:13:14.939
 Beside pushing

00:13:14.939 --> 00:13:15.720
 through barriers,

00:13:16.259 --> 00:13:16.980
 Jesus also

00:13:16.980 --> 00:13:18.000
 made significant

00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:18.720
 sacrifices

00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:20.939
 to other priorities

00:13:20.939 --> 00:13:21.519
 that he has.

00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:22.819
 We can see that

00:13:22.819 --> 00:13:24.039
 in verses 5 to 7.

00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:26.659
 After a long

00:13:26.659 --> 00:13:27.840
 and tiring hike,

00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:28.899
 you know,

00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:29.860
 Jesus' disciples

00:13:29.860 --> 00:13:30.819
 had all went

00:13:30.819 --> 00:13:31.299
 in the city

00:13:31.299 --> 00:13:32.100
 to get fed.

00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:33.639
 But what does

00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:34.199
 Jesus do?

00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:35.360
 He chooses

00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:36.139
 to miss out.

00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:37.960
 We are talking

00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:38.720
 about the creator

00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:39.720
 of the universe here.

00:13:40.019 --> 00:13:41.159
 Before he became

00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:41.779
 human,

00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:43.039
 he was all-sufficient.

00:13:43.659 --> 00:13:44.539
 He was never hungry,

00:13:44.860 --> 00:13:45.480
 never thirsty,

00:13:45.939 --> 00:13:46.939
 never needed anything.

00:13:48.460 --> 00:13:48.980
 But here,

00:13:49.259 --> 00:13:49.720
 look at him.

00:13:50.139 --> 00:13:50.779
 He's tired

00:13:50.779 --> 00:13:51.759
 and he's hungry

00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:52.759
 and he's thirsty.

00:13:53.519 --> 00:13:54.419
 And not only that,

00:13:54.740 --> 00:13:55.899
 he had to cast aside

00:13:55.899 --> 00:13:56.879
 his divine dignity

00:13:56.879 --> 00:13:57.919
 and go up to

00:13:57.919 --> 00:13:59.439
 the idol-worshipping woman

00:13:59.439 --> 00:14:00.600
 and beg for water.

00:14:01.579 --> 00:14:02.779
 If I asked you

00:14:02.779 --> 00:14:03.860
 to go to a slum

00:14:03.860 --> 00:14:04.439
 in India

00:14:04.439 --> 00:14:05.539
 and beg for water,

00:14:05.659 --> 00:14:06.259
 would you do it?

00:14:06.259 --> 00:14:08.439
 You may,

00:14:08.759 --> 00:14:09.500
 if something

00:14:09.500 --> 00:14:10.460
 is so important

00:14:10.460 --> 00:14:10.779
 for you

00:14:10.779 --> 00:14:11.779
 that makes you

00:14:11.779 --> 00:14:12.419
 need to do it.

00:14:13.620 --> 00:14:14.379
 And so,

00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:15.259
 we can see here

00:14:15.259 --> 00:14:17.019
 that making himself

00:14:17.019 --> 00:14:17.419
 known

00:14:17.419 --> 00:14:18.340
 is really

00:14:18.340 --> 00:14:19.159
 mission critical

00:14:19.159 --> 00:14:19.879
 to Jesus.

00:14:23.399 --> 00:14:24.220
 Jesus says

00:14:24.220 --> 00:14:25.159
 in verse 34,

00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:26.939
 My food

00:14:26.939 --> 00:14:27.860
 is to do

00:14:27.860 --> 00:14:28.639
 the will of him

00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:29.699
 who sent me

00:14:29.699 --> 00:14:30.659
 to accomplish

00:14:30.659 --> 00:14:31.439
 his work.

00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:33.339
 Making himself

00:14:33.339 --> 00:14:33.699
 known

00:14:33.699 --> 00:14:34.659
 according to the

00:14:34.659 --> 00:14:35.679
 will of God the Father

00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:37.319
 is food to Jesus.

00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:38.579
 It's a matter

00:14:38.579 --> 00:14:39.199
 of life

00:14:39.199 --> 00:14:39.980
 and death.

00:14:40.980 --> 00:14:41.860
 If we sing

00:14:41.860 --> 00:14:43.360
 of loving Jesus

00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:44.519
 or seeking

00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:45.580
 to love God

00:14:45.580 --> 00:14:46.340
 with all our

00:14:46.340 --> 00:14:47.000
 hearts and soul

00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:47.519
 and mind,

00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:49.759
 whatever is

00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:50.519
 important

00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:51.200
 or critical

00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:52.120
 to Jesus

00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:53.279
 should also

00:14:53.279 --> 00:14:54.039
 be of critical

00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:54.700
 importance

00:14:54.700 --> 00:14:55.360
 to us.

00:14:56.600 --> 00:14:57.220
 Why make

00:14:57.220 --> 00:14:57.879
 Jesus known?

00:14:58.460 --> 00:14:59.240
 First reason,

00:14:59.659 --> 00:15:00.399
 God's perspective.

00:15:01.100 --> 00:15:01.879
 It is mission

00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:02.840
 critical to him.

00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:04.700
 Now,

00:15:04.779 --> 00:15:05.220
 let's look at

00:15:05.220 --> 00:15:06.019
 the second reason

00:15:06.019 --> 00:15:07.279
 from a human

00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:07.840
 perspective.

00:15:09.139 --> 00:15:10.159
 People need

00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:10.620
 the Lord.

00:15:10.620 --> 00:15:12.440
 people need

00:15:12.440 --> 00:15:12.899
 the Lord.

00:15:14.139 --> 00:15:14.639
 According to

00:15:14.639 --> 00:15:15.060
 science,

00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:15.840
 our greatest

00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:16.240
 need

00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:17.419
 is water

00:15:17.419 --> 00:15:19.060
 because 60%

00:15:19.060 --> 00:15:19.840
 of our body

00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:20.379
 is water,

00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:20.639
 right,

00:15:20.940 --> 00:15:21.159
 Catherine?

00:15:21.659 --> 00:15:22.039
 Yeah.

00:15:23.919 --> 00:15:25.100
 We can last

00:15:25.100 --> 00:15:25.539
 three weeks

00:15:25.539 --> 00:15:26.120
 without fruit

00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:27.500
 but three days

00:15:27.500 --> 00:15:28.419
 tops if we

00:15:28.419 --> 00:15:29.000
 don't have water.

00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:31.019
 But to Jesus,

00:15:31.379 --> 00:15:32.220
 what we really

00:15:32.220 --> 00:15:33.100
 need is

00:15:33.100 --> 00:15:34.080
 living water

00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:35.419
 because without

00:15:35.419 --> 00:15:36.379
 living water,

00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:37.440
 what happens?

00:15:37.899 --> 00:15:38.539
 We're all

00:15:38.539 --> 00:15:39.500
 stuck in the

00:15:39.500 --> 00:15:40.240
 inner thirst

00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:40.700
 which is

00:15:40.700 --> 00:15:41.480
 unquenchable

00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:42.440
 and that

00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:43.120
 is lifelong.

00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:45.759
 Always longing

00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:46.399
 for something

00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:47.399
 but never

00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:48.240
 getting enough.

00:15:49.299 --> 00:15:49.759
 The poor

00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:50.440
 Samaritan woman

00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:51.519
 in our story

00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:52.220
 is a case

00:15:52.220 --> 00:15:52.700
 in point.

00:15:53.820 --> 00:15:54.340
 Jesus says

00:15:54.340 --> 00:15:55.220
 in verse 17,

00:15:55.700 --> 00:15:55.960
 he already

00:15:55.960 --> 00:15:56.480
 had five

00:15:56.480 --> 00:15:56.860
 husbands

00:15:56.860 --> 00:15:57.919
 but she

00:15:57.919 --> 00:15:58.279
 still,

00:15:58.379 --> 00:15:58.759
 she wants

00:15:58.759 --> 00:15:59.399
 another one,

00:15:59.580 --> 00:16:00.120
 a de facto

00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:00.480
 one.

00:16:01.940 --> 00:16:02.740
 God knows

00:16:02.740 --> 00:16:03.200
 what's happened

00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:03.840
 to all of them

00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:05.039
 but she

00:16:05.039 --> 00:16:05.620
 needed more

00:16:05.620 --> 00:16:07.639
 and despite

00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:08.379
 the shame

00:16:08.379 --> 00:16:09.259
 that she'll

00:16:09.259 --> 00:16:09.740
 be copying

00:16:09.740 --> 00:16:10.360
 from her

00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:10.820
 community

00:16:10.820 --> 00:16:11.659
 by having

00:16:11.659 --> 00:16:12.179
 this sixth

00:16:12.179 --> 00:16:12.419
 one.

00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:14.700
 And how

00:16:14.700 --> 00:16:15.120
 about the

00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:15.519
 wisest

00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:16.120
 and richest

00:16:16.120 --> 00:16:16.860
 man the

00:16:16.860 --> 00:16:17.259
 world has

00:16:17.259 --> 00:16:17.779
 never known?

00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:20.440
 Was he

00:16:20.440 --> 00:16:20.720
 not the

00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:20.940
 same?

00:16:22.060 --> 00:16:22.379
 I'm not

00:16:22.379 --> 00:16:22.740
 talking about

00:16:22.740 --> 00:16:23.360
 Elon Musk

00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:23.580
 here.

00:16:24.179 --> 00:16:24.399
 It's

00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:25.039
 King Solomon.

00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:27.139
 First

00:16:27.139 --> 00:16:27.480
 King

00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:29.659
 11.3

00:16:29.659 --> 00:16:30.100
 says

00:16:30.100 --> 00:16:31.120
 he has

00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:31.659
 700

00:16:31.659 --> 00:16:32.440
 wives.

00:16:33.539 --> 00:16:33.980
 700

00:16:33.980 --> 00:16:37.639
 and that's

00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:38.000
 still not

00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:38.420
 enough.

00:16:39.420 --> 00:16:39.560
 You know,

00:16:39.580 --> 00:16:40.019
 while some

00:16:40.019 --> 00:16:40.300
 of us

00:16:40.300 --> 00:16:40.759
 are struggling

00:16:40.759 --> 00:16:41.340
 with one,

00:16:42.180 --> 00:16:42.500
 he had

00:16:42.500 --> 00:16:43.039
 300,

00:16:43.240 --> 00:16:43.879
 another 300

00:16:43.879 --> 00:16:44.560
 concubines.

00:16:45.220 --> 00:16:45.480
 That's

00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:45.960
 a thousand.

00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:47.840
 I don't

00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:48.060
 know how

00:16:48.060 --> 00:16:48.379
 he does

00:16:48.379 --> 00:16:48.600
 it.

00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:50.600
 The

00:16:50.600 --> 00:16:50.860
 inner

00:16:50.860 --> 00:16:51.340
 thirst

00:16:51.340 --> 00:16:51.800
 in a

00:16:51.800 --> 00:16:52.019
 human

00:16:52.019 --> 00:16:52.500
 soul

00:16:52.500 --> 00:16:53.220
 is

00:16:53.220 --> 00:16:53.800
 indeed

00:16:53.800 --> 00:16:54.820
 unquenchable

00:16:54.820 --> 00:16:56.240
 and

00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:57.279
 you know,

00:16:57.340 --> 00:16:57.820
 we all

00:16:57.820 --> 00:16:58.220
 have our

00:16:58.220 --> 00:16:58.800
 own ways

00:16:58.800 --> 00:16:59.680
 of expressing

00:16:59.680 --> 00:16:59.899
 it,

00:16:59.960 --> 00:17:00.259
 don't we?

00:17:01.019 --> 00:17:01.279
 You know,

00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:01.800
 doom

00:17:01.800 --> 00:17:02.320
 scrolling,

00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:03.420
 binge

00:17:03.420 --> 00:17:03.940
 watching,

00:17:04.980 --> 00:17:05.200
 you know,

00:17:05.240 --> 00:17:05.539
 the young

00:17:05.539 --> 00:17:05.839
 guys are

00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:05.980
 like,

00:17:06.059 --> 00:17:06.200
 yeah,

00:17:06.339 --> 00:17:06.440
 yeah,

00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:06.559
 yeah.

00:17:07.900 --> 00:17:08.539
 You know,

00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:09.200
 Netflix,

00:17:09.500 --> 00:17:09.640
 you know,

00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:11.220
 it's unending,

00:17:11.360 --> 00:17:11.579
 right?

00:17:11.740 --> 00:17:12.099
 And then,

00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:12.319
 you know,

00:17:12.360 --> 00:17:12.539
 you have

00:17:12.539 --> 00:17:13.360
 online gaming,

00:17:14.259 --> 00:17:15.180
 online shopping,

00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:16.860
 church hopping,

00:17:17.019 --> 00:17:17.579
 you name it.

00:17:18.980 --> 00:17:19.339
 Nothing

00:17:19.339 --> 00:17:20.279
 is ever

00:17:20.279 --> 00:17:20.839
 enough.

00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:22.799
 So what

00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:23.259
 does Jesus

00:17:23.259 --> 00:17:23.620
 do?

00:17:24.620 --> 00:17:25.400
 He offers

00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:26.380
 the Samaritan

00:17:26.380 --> 00:17:27.720
 and indeed

00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:28.500
 the rest

00:17:28.500 --> 00:17:29.059
 of the world

00:17:29.059 --> 00:17:30.279
 living water.

00:17:31.400 --> 00:17:32.120
 Verse 14

00:17:32.120 --> 00:17:33.000
 says this,

00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:34.640
 only

00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:35.579
 this water

00:17:35.579 --> 00:17:36.559
 would quench

00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:37.220
 our thirst

00:17:37.220 --> 00:17:38.259
 for life

00:17:38.259 --> 00:17:39.099
 and also

00:17:39.099 --> 00:17:39.539
 beyond.

00:17:41.539 --> 00:17:42.380
 So what

00:17:42.380 --> 00:17:42.680
 is this

00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:43.299
 living water

00:17:43.299 --> 00:17:44.599
 and how

00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:44.960
 does it

00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:45.240
 quench

00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:45.839
 our thirst?

00:17:47.460 --> 00:17:48.500
 In short,

00:17:48.980 --> 00:17:49.559
 living water

00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:50.420
 is the

00:17:50.420 --> 00:17:51.420
 Holy Spirit.

00:17:53.099 --> 00:17:53.880
 John chapter

00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:55.140
 7 tells us,

00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:56.660
 right?

00:17:57.740 --> 00:17:58.299
 Jesus

00:17:58.299 --> 00:17:59.019
 explains it.

00:17:59.019 --> 00:18:01.539
 Jesus

00:18:01.539 --> 00:18:02.220
 takes a local

00:18:02.220 --> 00:18:02.720
 term,

00:18:03.259 --> 00:18:03.940
 living water,

00:18:04.619 --> 00:18:05.200
 it's usually

00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:05.680
 used to

00:18:05.680 --> 00:18:06.700
 actually describe

00:18:06.700 --> 00:18:08.240
 clean flowing

00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:08.619
 water.

00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:09.400
 It's a common

00:18:09.400 --> 00:18:09.759
 term.

00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:12.359
 And living

00:18:12.359 --> 00:18:12.900
 and clean

00:18:12.900 --> 00:18:13.619
 water is

00:18:13.619 --> 00:18:14.660
 still humanity's

00:18:14.660 --> 00:18:15.240
 greatest need.

00:18:15.660 --> 00:18:16.639
 So he uses

00:18:16.639 --> 00:18:17.259
 that term

00:18:17.259 --> 00:18:18.319
 to help people

00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:19.579
 understand the

00:18:19.579 --> 00:18:20.400
 nature of the

00:18:20.400 --> 00:18:20.980
 Holy Spirit

00:18:20.980 --> 00:18:22.039
 so people can

00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:22.740
 relate to him.

00:18:23.379 --> 00:18:24.559
 We need him

00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:25.119
 like we need

00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:25.819
 clean water

00:18:25.819 --> 00:18:25.899
 water.

00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:27.960
 In order to

00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:28.980
 understand how

00:18:28.980 --> 00:18:29.720
 the Holy Spirit

00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:30.559
 quenches our

00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:31.200
 inner thirst,

00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:32.539
 we must first

00:18:32.539 --> 00:18:33.519
 look at where

00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:34.179
 the problem

00:18:34.179 --> 00:18:34.899
 came from.

00:18:35.799 --> 00:18:36.639
 When Adam

00:18:36.639 --> 00:18:37.220
 and Eve

00:18:37.220 --> 00:18:38.659
 ignored God's

00:18:38.659 --> 00:18:39.399
 warning and

00:18:39.399 --> 00:18:40.480
 took the fruit

00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:41.039
 of the knowledge

00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:41.539
 of good and

00:18:41.539 --> 00:18:42.460
 evil,

00:18:43.099 --> 00:18:43.599
 they did not

00:18:43.599 --> 00:18:44.220
 just break a

00:18:44.220 --> 00:18:44.460
 rule.

00:18:45.059 --> 00:18:45.599
 They broke

00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:46.379
 God's heart

00:18:46.379 --> 00:18:47.480
 and also

00:18:47.480 --> 00:18:48.399
 broke their

00:18:48.399 --> 00:18:48.819
 intimate

00:18:48.819 --> 00:18:49.460
 relationship

00:18:49.460 --> 00:18:50.000
 with God.

00:18:50.919 --> 00:18:51.839
 Since then,

00:18:51.939 --> 00:18:52.639
 as a race,

00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:53.720
 we have been

00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:54.980
 really suffering

00:18:54.980 --> 00:18:56.039
 from anxiety

00:18:56.039 --> 00:18:56.579
 problem.

00:18:57.259 --> 00:18:57.880
 Separation

00:18:57.880 --> 00:18:58.480
 anxiety.

00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:01.380
 Separated from

00:19:01.380 --> 00:19:02.160
 our source

00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:02.599
 of endless

00:19:02.599 --> 00:19:03.039
 joy.

00:19:03.819 --> 00:19:04.839
 Separated from

00:19:04.839 --> 00:19:05.420
 the one,

00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:06.819
 the love of

00:19:06.819 --> 00:19:07.420
 our life.

00:19:09.220 --> 00:19:10.440
 We separate it

00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:11.039
 from the one

00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:11.579
 we are made

00:19:11.579 --> 00:19:11.860
 for.

00:19:13.140 --> 00:19:13.740
 And this

00:19:13.740 --> 00:19:14.799
 separation is

00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:15.880
 sometimes called

00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:16.880
 spiritual death.

00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:19.279
 Have you heard

00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:20.180
 that quite a lot

00:19:20.180 --> 00:19:20.680
 of people,

00:19:20.839 --> 00:19:21.559
 they got dogs

00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:21.980
 during the

00:19:21.980 --> 00:19:22.720
 COVID lockdown?

00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:24.579
 Anyone heard

00:19:24.579 --> 00:19:24.880
 of that?

00:19:25.599 --> 00:19:26.200
 Everyone's like

00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:26.680
 cat and dog

00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:27.079
 and everything.

00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:29.200
 Well,

00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:29.960
 when the

00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:30.319
 people,

00:19:30.700 --> 00:19:31.019
 when the

00:19:31.019 --> 00:19:31.400
 lockdown is

00:19:31.400 --> 00:19:31.660
 over,

00:19:31.819 --> 00:19:32.519
 people go

00:19:32.519 --> 00:19:32.759
 back to

00:19:32.759 --> 00:19:33.120
 their normal

00:19:33.120 --> 00:19:33.559
 lives,

00:19:33.779 --> 00:19:34.120
 go out

00:19:34.120 --> 00:19:34.420
 and shop

00:19:34.420 --> 00:19:35.039
 again and

00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:35.579
 go back

00:19:35.579 --> 00:19:35.960
 to work

00:19:35.960 --> 00:19:36.480
 in person.

00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:37.700
 You know

00:19:37.700 --> 00:19:38.079
 what happened

00:19:38.079 --> 00:19:38.339
 to their

00:19:38.339 --> 00:19:38.640
 dogs?

00:19:40.120 --> 00:19:40.740
 They went

00:19:40.740 --> 00:19:41.180
 crazy.

00:19:43.200 --> 00:19:43.640
 Right?

00:19:43.759 --> 00:19:44.140
 They started

00:19:44.140 --> 00:19:44.660
 chewing up

00:19:44.660 --> 00:19:44.960
 half the

00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:45.319
 place.

00:19:46.140 --> 00:19:46.579
 Why?

00:19:47.940 --> 00:19:48.620
 Because they

00:19:48.620 --> 00:19:49.099
 suffered,

00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:49.579
 according to

00:19:49.579 --> 00:19:50.039
 the vets,

00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:51.559
 separation

00:19:51.559 --> 00:19:52.200
 anxiety

00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:52.720
 problems.

00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:54.220
 guys,

00:19:54.380 --> 00:19:54.740
 that's

00:19:54.740 --> 00:19:55.160
 us.

00:19:57.100 --> 00:19:57.660
 To

00:19:57.660 --> 00:19:58.400
 cure us,

00:19:59.059 --> 00:19:59.539
 God let

00:19:59.539 --> 00:20:00.039
 us drink

00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:00.460
 the Holy

00:20:00.460 --> 00:20:00.860
 Spirit.

00:20:01.640 --> 00:20:02.039
 Instead of

00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:02.779
 being separated

00:20:02.779 --> 00:20:03.319
 from us,

00:20:03.779 --> 00:20:04.180
 now He

00:20:04.180 --> 00:20:05.140
 puts Himself,

00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:05.660
 His own

00:20:05.660 --> 00:20:06.240
 presence,

00:20:06.440 --> 00:20:07.100
 into us.

00:20:07.779 --> 00:20:08.259
 In that

00:20:08.259 --> 00:20:08.519
 way,

00:20:08.940 --> 00:20:09.200
 we can

00:20:09.200 --> 00:20:09.819
 become less

00:20:09.819 --> 00:20:10.259
 anxious

00:20:10.259 --> 00:20:10.819
 inside,

00:20:11.299 --> 00:20:11.779
 because the

00:20:11.779 --> 00:20:12.940
 Spirit enables

00:20:12.940 --> 00:20:13.559
 us to

00:20:13.559 --> 00:20:14.779
 experience God's

00:20:14.779 --> 00:20:15.440
 love again,

00:20:16.100 --> 00:20:16.700
 and His

00:20:16.700 --> 00:20:17.200
 presence

00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:18.279
 progressively

00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:18.940
 quenches

00:20:18.940 --> 00:20:19.500
 our inner

00:20:19.500 --> 00:20:19.899
 thirst,

00:20:20.399 --> 00:20:20.660
 too.

00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:22.420
 It might

00:20:22.420 --> 00:20:22.859
 not happen

00:20:22.859 --> 00:20:23.259
 overnight,

00:20:23.980 --> 00:20:24.420
 but it

00:20:24.420 --> 00:20:25.099
 does happen.

00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:26.339
 People

00:20:26.339 --> 00:20:27.220
 need the

00:20:27.220 --> 00:20:27.480
 Lord.

00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:29.819
 The thirst

00:20:29.819 --> 00:20:30.119
 of this

00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:30.839
 life is

00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:31.879
 one need,

00:20:32.299 --> 00:20:32.740
 but there's

00:20:32.740 --> 00:20:33.579
 also another.

00:20:34.599 --> 00:20:35.099
 The Bible

00:20:35.099 --> 00:20:36.139
 says that

00:20:36.139 --> 00:20:37.639
 human also

00:20:37.639 --> 00:20:38.779
 faces the

00:20:38.779 --> 00:20:39.460
 thirst of

00:20:39.460 --> 00:20:39.940
 Hades,

00:20:40.299 --> 00:20:40.740
 which some

00:20:40.740 --> 00:20:41.299
 people call

00:20:41.299 --> 00:20:41.579
 hell.

00:20:43.180 --> 00:20:43.920
 In Luke

00:20:43.920 --> 00:20:44.420
 16,

00:20:44.859 --> 00:20:45.440
 Jesus told

00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:46.000
 a story

00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:47.519
 of Lazarus,

00:20:47.799 --> 00:20:48.160
 a poor

00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:48.440
 guy,

00:20:48.740 --> 00:20:49.059
 and a

00:20:49.059 --> 00:20:49.579
 rich man.

00:20:50.440 --> 00:20:51.000
 They both

00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:51.359
 died,

00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:52.380
 and the

00:20:52.380 --> 00:20:52.940
 poor guy,

00:20:53.500 --> 00:20:53.640
 well,

00:20:53.700 --> 00:20:54.180
 Lazarus,

00:20:54.400 --> 00:20:54.920
 went to be

00:20:54.920 --> 00:20:55.720
 with Abraham

00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:56.880
 in paradise,

00:20:57.380 --> 00:20:57.740
 and the

00:20:57.740 --> 00:20:58.240
 rich man

00:20:58.240 --> 00:20:58.980
 went down

00:20:58.980 --> 00:20:59.420
 to Hades.

00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:00.740
 There,

00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:01.640
 Jesus described

00:21:01.640 --> 00:21:02.960
 Hades as

00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:04.480
 a place of

00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:05.240
 unrelenting

00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:05.740
 torment,

00:21:06.299 --> 00:21:06.900
 with burning

00:21:06.900 --> 00:21:08.480
 flames and

00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:08.859
 thirsty

00:21:08.859 --> 00:21:09.339
 tongues.

00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:11.640
 Why thirst?

00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:12.759
 Why is

00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:13.359
 thirst in

00:21:13.359 --> 00:21:13.640
 hell?

00:21:14.220 --> 00:21:14.500
 Is there

00:21:14.500 --> 00:21:14.880
 lack of

00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:15.160
 water?

00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:18.400
 2 Thessalonians

00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:20.420
 chapter 1,

00:21:20.799 --> 00:21:21.380
 verse 9,

00:21:21.500 --> 00:21:22.059
 Paul says,

00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:23.319
 it is because

00:21:23.319 --> 00:21:24.460
 the presence

00:21:24.460 --> 00:21:25.400
 of the Lord

00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:26.200
 is not

00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:26.680
 there.

00:21:27.940 --> 00:21:28.619
 Where the

00:21:28.619 --> 00:21:29.180
 Lord is

00:21:29.180 --> 00:21:29.579
 not,

00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:30.920
 we first.

00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:34.000
 And that

00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:34.299
 would have

00:21:34.299 --> 00:21:34.799
 been us

00:21:34.799 --> 00:21:36.099
 if nobody

00:21:36.099 --> 00:21:36.720
 had made

00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:37.579
 Jesus known

00:21:37.579 --> 00:21:38.180
 to us.

00:21:39.059 --> 00:21:39.500
 People

00:21:39.500 --> 00:21:40.480
 need the

00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:40.759
 Lord.

00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:42.740
 One of the

00:21:42.740 --> 00:21:43.220
 things Jesus

00:21:43.220 --> 00:21:43.700
 said on the

00:21:43.700 --> 00:21:44.200
 cross was,

00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:45.160
 I thirst,

00:21:45.500 --> 00:21:45.740
 right?

00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:47.099
 is in

00:21:47.099 --> 00:21:47.579
 John chapter

00:21:47.579 --> 00:21:48.140
 19.

00:21:49.140 --> 00:21:49.779
 Have you

00:21:49.779 --> 00:21:50.299
 ever wondered

00:21:50.299 --> 00:21:50.680
 why?

00:21:52.299 --> 00:21:53.400
 It is because

00:21:53.400 --> 00:21:54.559
 perhaps that

00:21:54.559 --> 00:21:55.700
 he who had

00:21:55.700 --> 00:21:56.380
 no sin

00:21:56.380 --> 00:21:57.599
 became sin

00:21:57.599 --> 00:21:58.200
 for us.

00:21:58.900 --> 00:21:59.420
 So on the

00:21:59.420 --> 00:21:59.799
 cross,

00:22:00.220 --> 00:22:01.140
 he lost the

00:22:01.140 --> 00:22:01.559
 Father's

00:22:01.559 --> 00:22:02.640
 presence and

00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:03.740
 endured the

00:22:03.740 --> 00:22:04.500
 agony of

00:22:04.500 --> 00:22:06.079
 hell that

00:22:06.079 --> 00:22:07.000
 we all

00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:07.559
 deserved.

00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:09.559
 God's

00:22:09.559 --> 00:22:10.079
 God's

00:22:10.079 --> 00:22:10.359
 thirst.

00:22:10.359 --> 00:22:12.159
 And as Sam

00:22:12.159 --> 00:22:13.980
 said and

00:22:13.980 --> 00:22:14.700
 quoted,

00:22:14.700 --> 00:22:15.259
 his soul

00:22:15.259 --> 00:22:16.220
 thirsted for

00:22:16.220 --> 00:22:16.579
 the living

00:22:16.579 --> 00:22:17.039
 God.

00:22:18.220 --> 00:22:19.059
 Jesus' thirst

00:22:19.059 --> 00:22:19.440
 on the

00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:21.000
 cross was

00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:21.700
 the fulfillment

00:22:21.700 --> 00:22:23.119
 of Psalm

00:22:23.119 --> 00:22:23.619
 42.

00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:26.359
 This thirst

00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:27.039
 is something

00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:27.659
 that Jesus

00:22:27.659 --> 00:22:28.240
 had never

00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:28.960
 experienced

00:22:28.960 --> 00:22:29.519
 before,

00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:30.859
 in eternity

00:22:30.859 --> 00:22:31.399
 past,

00:22:31.940 --> 00:22:32.919
 until the

00:22:32.919 --> 00:22:33.259
 cross.

00:22:33.259 --> 00:22:35.119
 he suffered

00:22:35.119 --> 00:22:35.599
 the fire

00:22:35.599 --> 00:22:36.140
 of hell

00:22:36.140 --> 00:22:37.200
 so that

00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:37.900
 our thirst

00:22:37.900 --> 00:22:38.240
 can be

00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:38.619
 quenched

00:22:38.619 --> 00:22:39.400
 and we

00:22:39.400 --> 00:22:39.940
 can have

00:22:39.940 --> 00:22:40.339
 God's

00:22:40.339 --> 00:22:40.759
 presence

00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:41.940
 in our

00:22:41.940 --> 00:22:42.319
 lives

00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:43.460
 now and

00:22:43.460 --> 00:22:43.799
 forever.

00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:46.400
 If you

00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:46.819
 see a

00:22:46.819 --> 00:22:47.400
 video of

00:22:47.400 --> 00:22:47.980
 someone

00:22:47.980 --> 00:22:49.359
 injured,

00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:50.400
 lying by

00:22:50.400 --> 00:22:50.779
 the side

00:22:50.779 --> 00:22:51.059
 of the

00:22:51.059 --> 00:22:51.359
 road,

00:22:51.900 --> 00:22:52.759
 and then

00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:53.099
 you see

00:22:53.099 --> 00:22:53.420
 all these

00:22:53.420 --> 00:22:53.900
 cars,

00:22:54.000 --> 00:22:54.200
 you know,

00:22:54.259 --> 00:22:54.839
 slowing down,

00:22:54.940 --> 00:22:55.299
 taking a

00:22:55.299 --> 00:22:55.519
 look,

00:22:55.940 --> 00:22:56.319
 and then

00:22:56.319 --> 00:22:57.000
 driving off,

00:22:57.500 --> 00:22:58.279
 what would

00:22:58.279 --> 00:22:58.660
 you do?

00:22:59.359 --> 00:22:59.779
 You'd be

00:22:59.779 --> 00:23:00.460
 totally judging

00:23:00.460 --> 00:23:01.000
 those people

00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:01.360
 in those

00:23:01.360 --> 00:23:01.680
 cars,

00:23:01.740 --> 00:23:01.940
 right?

00:23:02.500 --> 00:23:02.819
 You'd say,

00:23:02.900 --> 00:23:03.460
 what on earth?

00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:03.759
 Why don't you

00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:04.240
 get out and

00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:04.660
 help them?

00:23:05.740 --> 00:23:06.079
 You'd be

00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:06.700
 disgusted.

00:23:08.460 --> 00:23:09.079
 People are

00:23:09.079 --> 00:23:10.180
 dying without

00:23:10.180 --> 00:23:11.559
 Jesus right

00:23:11.559 --> 00:23:12.160
 before our

00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:12.640
 eyes.

00:23:13.700 --> 00:23:14.180
 Right before

00:23:14.180 --> 00:23:14.759
 our eyes.

00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:16.100
 Why wouldn't

00:23:16.100 --> 00:23:16.819
 we go nuts

00:23:16.819 --> 00:23:17.620
 to share

00:23:17.620 --> 00:23:18.220
 about Jesus?

00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:22.960
 Making

00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:23.640
 Jesus known

00:23:23.640 --> 00:23:24.259
 is critical

00:23:24.259 --> 00:23:24.900
 to God's

00:23:24.900 --> 00:23:25.180
 mission,

00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:26.240
 and we

00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:26.740
 must make

00:23:26.740 --> 00:23:27.299
 him known

00:23:27.299 --> 00:23:28.519
 because people

00:23:28.519 --> 00:23:29.059
 need the

00:23:29.059 --> 00:23:29.279
 Lord.

00:23:29.279 --> 00:23:29.319
 God.

00:23:30.019 --> 00:23:30.319
 That's

00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:30.759
 our first

00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:31.119
 point.

00:23:31.700 --> 00:23:31.980
 Now,

00:23:32.079 --> 00:23:32.539
 let's move

00:23:32.539 --> 00:23:32.940
 on to the

00:23:32.940 --> 00:23:33.200
 second.

00:23:36.619 --> 00:23:37.259
 There are

00:23:37.259 --> 00:23:37.619
 so many

00:23:37.619 --> 00:23:38.039
 ways to

00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:38.440
 make Jesus

00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:38.720
 known,

00:23:38.819 --> 00:23:39.180
 isn't there?

00:23:39.879 --> 00:23:40.480
 But some

00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:41.000
 are more

00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:41.899
 effective than

00:23:41.899 --> 00:23:42.279
 others.

00:23:43.099 --> 00:23:43.819
 In today's

00:23:43.819 --> 00:23:44.240
 stories,

00:23:44.779 --> 00:23:45.639
 we see that

00:23:45.639 --> 00:23:46.399
 this Samaritan

00:23:46.399 --> 00:23:47.079
 woman was

00:23:47.079 --> 00:23:47.859
 super effective

00:23:47.859 --> 00:23:48.559
 in making

00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:49.220
 Jesus known.

00:23:50.220 --> 00:23:50.879
 Even though

00:23:50.879 --> 00:23:51.240
 she had a

00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:51.960
 bad reputation,

00:23:52.839 --> 00:23:53.220
 she's never

00:23:53.220 --> 00:23:53.819
 been to church,

00:23:54.440 --> 00:23:55.379
 never been to

00:23:55.379 --> 00:23:56.240
 Bible college,

00:23:56.779 --> 00:23:57.180
 never had

00:23:57.180 --> 00:23:58.220
 Sunday school

00:23:58.220 --> 00:23:58.759
 or Bible

00:23:58.759 --> 00:23:59.259
 studies,

00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:01.440
 verse 39

00:24:01.440 --> 00:24:01.920
 says,

00:24:02.420 --> 00:24:03.039
 many people

00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:04.019
 went to

00:24:04.019 --> 00:24:05.180
 Jesus and

00:24:05.180 --> 00:24:05.599
 turned to

00:24:05.599 --> 00:24:06.319
 him because

00:24:06.319 --> 00:24:06.599
 of her

00:24:06.599 --> 00:24:06.940
 testimony.

00:24:08.680 --> 00:24:09.599
 So perhaps

00:24:09.599 --> 00:24:10.319
 we should

00:24:10.319 --> 00:24:10.960
 really humbly

00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:11.539
 learn from

00:24:11.539 --> 00:24:12.019
 this lady

00:24:12.019 --> 00:24:13.019
 how to

00:24:13.019 --> 00:24:13.460
 make Jesus

00:24:13.460 --> 00:24:13.819
 known.

00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:15.680
 First,

00:24:15.960 --> 00:24:16.259
 we should

00:24:16.259 --> 00:24:16.879
 present

00:24:16.879 --> 00:24:17.819
 Jesus

00:24:17.819 --> 00:24:19.039
 worshipfully.

00:24:20.859 --> 00:24:21.420
 You can

00:24:21.420 --> 00:24:21.779
 follow in

00:24:21.779 --> 00:24:22.200
 the bulletin

00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:22.519
 if you want

00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:22.819
 to fill in

00:24:22.819 --> 00:24:23.339
 the blanks.

00:24:24.440 --> 00:24:25.099
 Look with

00:24:25.099 --> 00:24:25.779
 me at

00:24:25.779 --> 00:24:27.200
 verse 25.

00:24:27.740 --> 00:24:27.879
 Oh,

00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:28.139
 actually,

00:24:28.220 --> 00:24:28.619
 I didn't put

00:24:28.619 --> 00:24:28.939
 it there.

00:24:29.899 --> 00:24:30.119
 Yep,

00:24:30.239 --> 00:24:30.519
 it's in

00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:30.859
 your Bible.

00:24:31.059 --> 00:24:31.679
 Verse 25.

00:24:32.159 --> 00:24:32.519
 The woman

00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:32.939
 said to

00:24:32.939 --> 00:24:33.099
 him,

00:24:33.179 --> 00:24:33.559
 I know

00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:33.879
 that the

00:24:33.879 --> 00:24:34.419
 Messiah is

00:24:34.419 --> 00:24:34.759
 coming,

00:24:34.939 --> 00:24:35.299
 who he

00:24:35.299 --> 00:24:35.979
 is called

00:24:35.979 --> 00:24:36.479
 Christ.

00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:37.359
 When he

00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:37.759
 comes,

00:24:37.839 --> 00:24:38.079
 he will

00:24:38.079 --> 00:24:38.500
 tell us

00:24:38.500 --> 00:24:39.099
 all things.

00:24:39.539 --> 00:24:39.939
 Jesus said

00:24:39.939 --> 00:24:40.279
 to her,

00:24:40.519 --> 00:24:41.339
 I who

00:24:41.339 --> 00:24:41.819
 speak to

00:24:41.819 --> 00:24:42.099
 you,

00:24:42.399 --> 00:24:42.899
 am he.

00:24:43.639 --> 00:24:43.939
 Then,

00:24:44.039 --> 00:24:44.399
 speaking to

00:24:44.399 --> 00:24:45.799
 verse 28,

00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:46.639
 the woman

00:24:46.639 --> 00:24:47.079
 left the

00:24:47.079 --> 00:24:47.259
 water

00:24:47.259 --> 00:24:47.579
 jar

00:24:47.579 --> 00:24:48.220
 and

00:24:48.220 --> 00:24:48.440
 went

00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:48.720
 away

00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:48.919
 into

00:24:48.919 --> 00:24:49.059
 the

00:24:49.059 --> 00:24:49.359
 town

00:24:49.359 --> 00:24:49.819
 and

00:24:49.819 --> 00:24:49.960
 said

00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:50.039
 to

00:24:50.039 --> 00:24:50.159
 the

00:24:50.159 --> 00:24:50.440
 people,

00:24:50.440 --> 00:24:51.680
 come see

00:24:51.680 --> 00:24:52.220
 a man

00:24:52.220 --> 00:24:53.019
 who told

00:24:53.019 --> 00:24:53.599
 me all

00:24:53.599 --> 00:24:53.940
 that I

00:24:53.940 --> 00:24:54.399
 ever did.

00:24:54.919 --> 00:24:55.099
 Can

00:24:55.099 --> 00:24:55.819
 this be

00:24:55.819 --> 00:24:56.019
 the

00:24:56.019 --> 00:24:56.399
 Christ?

00:24:58.119 --> 00:24:58.619
 They

00:24:58.619 --> 00:24:59.059
 went out of

00:24:59.059 --> 00:24:59.419
 the town

00:24:59.419 --> 00:24:59.700
 and they

00:24:59.700 --> 00:25:00.039
 were coming

00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:00.440
 to him.

00:25:01.720 --> 00:25:02.419
 The way

00:25:02.419 --> 00:25:04.419
 this woman

00:25:04.419 --> 00:25:04.859
 made Jesus

00:25:04.859 --> 00:25:05.200
 known

00:25:05.200 --> 00:25:06.079
 was spot

00:25:06.079 --> 00:25:06.240
 on,

00:25:06.379 --> 00:25:06.599
 I think,

00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:07.700
 because she

00:25:07.700 --> 00:25:08.740
 simply presented

00:25:08.740 --> 00:25:10.059
 Jesus and

00:25:10.059 --> 00:25:10.759
 let the main

00:25:10.759 --> 00:25:11.720
 thing be the

00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:12.180
 main thing.

00:25:12.180 --> 00:25:15.019
 all she

00:25:15.019 --> 00:25:15.620
 mentioned was

00:25:15.620 --> 00:25:16.240
 what Jesus

00:25:16.240 --> 00:25:16.759
 has done.

00:25:17.340 --> 00:25:17.940
 He told me

00:25:17.940 --> 00:25:18.580
 all that I

00:25:18.580 --> 00:25:18.940
 ever did.

00:25:19.299 --> 00:25:19.940
 And she

00:25:19.940 --> 00:25:20.259
 asked a

00:25:20.259 --> 00:25:20.620
 question,

00:25:21.220 --> 00:25:21.560
 which in

00:25:21.560 --> 00:25:21.940
 the original

00:25:21.940 --> 00:25:22.440
 text goes

00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:22.920
 something like,

00:25:23.299 --> 00:25:23.700
 this could

00:25:23.700 --> 00:25:24.360
 not be the

00:25:24.360 --> 00:25:24.759
 Christ,

00:25:24.860 --> 00:25:25.200
 could it?

00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:27.700
 It was a

00:25:27.700 --> 00:25:28.019
 humble

00:25:28.019 --> 00:25:29.420
 invitation to

00:25:29.420 --> 00:25:30.480
 explore Jesus

00:25:30.480 --> 00:25:31.140
 together.

00:25:32.140 --> 00:25:32.779
 No gimmicks,

00:25:33.299 --> 00:25:34.039
 no pressure,

00:25:34.660 --> 00:25:35.200
 no lectures,

00:25:35.660 --> 00:25:36.380
 no downloads.

00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:37.980
 Her

00:25:37.980 --> 00:25:38.360
 tweet,

00:25:38.700 --> 00:25:38.920
 you know,

00:25:38.980 --> 00:25:39.580
 or one-liner

00:25:39.580 --> 00:25:40.519
 was enough

00:25:40.519 --> 00:25:41.480
 to have a

00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:42.080
 big crowd

00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:42.960
 running to

00:25:42.960 --> 00:25:43.379
 Jesus.

00:25:44.159 --> 00:25:44.699
 It was not

00:25:44.699 --> 00:25:45.220
 like what

00:25:45.220 --> 00:25:45.720
 she knew,

00:25:45.779 --> 00:25:46.279
 she knew a

00:25:46.279 --> 00:25:46.619
 lot,

00:25:47.000 --> 00:25:47.259
 you know,

00:25:47.319 --> 00:25:47.639
 that helped

00:25:47.639 --> 00:25:48.319
 turn Jesus,

00:25:48.679 --> 00:25:49.439
 draw people

00:25:49.439 --> 00:25:49.939
 to Jesus.

00:25:50.480 --> 00:25:51.059
 It was what

00:25:51.059 --> 00:25:51.619
 she didn't

00:25:51.619 --> 00:25:52.220
 know that

00:25:52.220 --> 00:25:52.960
 helped people

00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:53.699
 to go find

00:25:53.699 --> 00:25:54.139
 Jesus.

00:25:55.339 --> 00:25:56.240
 To present

00:25:56.240 --> 00:25:56.960
 the good

00:25:56.960 --> 00:25:57.319
 news of

00:25:57.319 --> 00:25:57.639
 Jesus,

00:25:58.220 --> 00:25:58.399
 there are

00:25:58.399 --> 00:25:58.859
 only really

00:25:58.859 --> 00:25:59.659
 two points

00:25:59.659 --> 00:26:00.220
 that are

00:26:00.220 --> 00:26:01.019
 truly essential.

00:26:01.839 --> 00:26:02.319
 Who he

00:26:02.319 --> 00:26:03.240
 is and

00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:03.539
 then what

00:26:03.539 --> 00:26:03.859
 he has

00:26:03.859 --> 00:26:04.099
 done.

00:26:05.519 --> 00:26:06.179
 That's what

00:26:06.179 --> 00:26:06.699
 the Samaritan

00:26:06.699 --> 00:26:07.299
 women did

00:26:07.299 --> 00:26:07.539
 too.

00:26:08.619 --> 00:26:09.379
 The rest

00:26:09.379 --> 00:26:09.779
 are all

00:26:09.779 --> 00:26:10.960
 non-essentials.

00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:11.980
 Let me

00:26:11.980 --> 00:26:12.400
 share two

00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:12.880
 examples

00:26:12.880 --> 00:26:13.720
 of these

00:26:13.720 --> 00:26:14.059
 two

00:26:14.059 --> 00:26:14.660
 non-essential

00:26:14.660 --> 00:26:15.200
 topics

00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:16.019
 that have

00:26:16.019 --> 00:26:16.600
 become

00:26:16.600 --> 00:26:17.519
 popular for

00:26:17.519 --> 00:26:17.920
 a while

00:26:17.920 --> 00:26:18.740
 but not

00:26:18.740 --> 00:26:19.880
 always helpful

00:26:19.880 --> 00:26:20.840
 in presenting

00:26:20.840 --> 00:26:21.319
 Jesus.

00:26:22.360 --> 00:26:22.960
 First

00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:23.880
 example is

00:26:23.880 --> 00:26:24.840
 creationism.

00:26:25.840 --> 00:26:26.860
 Some gospel

00:26:26.860 --> 00:26:27.360
 tracks,

00:26:27.539 --> 00:26:27.900
 which I

00:26:27.900 --> 00:26:28.240
 loved,

00:26:28.720 --> 00:26:29.160
 like Two

00:26:29.160 --> 00:26:29.500
 Ways to

00:26:29.500 --> 00:26:29.799
 Live,

00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:30.259
 and I've

00:26:30.259 --> 00:26:30.559
 used that

00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:30.980
 a lot.

00:26:31.440 --> 00:26:31.960
 It uses

00:26:31.960 --> 00:26:33.259
 creation as

00:26:33.259 --> 00:26:33.779
 the first

00:26:33.779 --> 00:26:34.500
 point to

00:26:34.500 --> 00:26:34.880
 introduce

00:26:34.880 --> 00:26:35.440
 people to

00:26:35.440 --> 00:26:35.840
 Jesus.

00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:37.279
 But you

00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:37.799
 can really

00:26:37.799 --> 00:26:38.500
 get stuck

00:26:38.500 --> 00:26:38.980
 on that

00:26:38.980 --> 00:26:39.279
 point

00:26:39.279 --> 00:26:39.619
 alone.

00:26:40.559 --> 00:26:40.819
 You know

00:26:40.819 --> 00:26:41.200
 two ways

00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:41.559
 to live

00:26:41.559 --> 00:26:42.359
 really takes

00:26:42.359 --> 00:26:42.940
 ten minutes

00:26:42.940 --> 00:26:43.519
 to complete.

00:26:44.200 --> 00:26:44.680
 I've spent

00:26:44.680 --> 00:26:45.500
 one hour

00:26:45.500 --> 00:26:46.359
 on the

00:26:46.359 --> 00:26:47.559
 first point

00:26:47.559 --> 00:26:48.119
 on creation

00:26:48.119 --> 00:26:48.519
 alone.

00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:49.859
 Why?

00:26:50.380 --> 00:26:51.160
 Because people

00:26:51.160 --> 00:26:51.579
 in our

00:26:51.579 --> 00:26:52.200
 generation,

00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:53.279
 that's the

00:26:53.279 --> 00:26:53.859
 past 80

00:26:53.859 --> 00:26:54.299
 years,

00:26:55.160 --> 00:26:55.740
 exclude

00:26:55.740 --> 00:26:56.339
 Don maybe,

00:26:57.400 --> 00:26:58.680
 grew up

00:26:58.680 --> 00:26:59.619
 with Darwinism,

00:27:00.359 --> 00:27:00.880
 the theory

00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:01.859
 of evolution,

00:27:02.539 --> 00:27:03.059
 which by the

00:27:03.059 --> 00:27:03.700
 way had been

00:27:03.700 --> 00:27:04.740
 rejected by

00:27:04.740 --> 00:27:05.299
 over a

00:27:05.299 --> 00:27:05.680
 thousand

00:27:05.680 --> 00:27:06.859
 PhD biologists

00:27:06.859 --> 00:27:08.079
 for over

00:27:08.079 --> 00:27:08.759
 20 years.

00:27:09.240 --> 00:27:09.879
 But most

00:27:09.879 --> 00:27:10.359
 people don't

00:27:10.359 --> 00:27:10.919
 know that.

00:27:11.500 --> 00:27:12.019
 They think

00:27:12.019 --> 00:27:12.339
 that the

00:27:12.339 --> 00:27:12.659
 theory of

00:27:12.659 --> 00:27:13.279
 evolution is

00:27:13.279 --> 00:27:13.759
 truth.

00:27:14.119 --> 00:27:14.399
 It's like

00:27:14.399 --> 00:27:14.919
 one plus

00:27:14.919 --> 00:27:15.479
 one equals

00:27:15.479 --> 00:27:15.899
 two to

00:27:15.899 --> 00:27:16.079
 them.

00:27:16.679 --> 00:27:17.179
 So they

00:27:17.179 --> 00:27:17.859
 would fight

00:27:17.859 --> 00:27:18.259
 you to

00:27:18.259 --> 00:27:18.719
 the end.

00:27:20.139 --> 00:27:20.639
 Winning a

00:27:20.639 --> 00:27:21.419
 debate on

00:27:21.419 --> 00:27:22.539
 creationism

00:27:22.539 --> 00:27:24.759
 almost never

00:27:24.759 --> 00:27:25.319
 wins people

00:27:25.319 --> 00:27:25.939
 to Christ.

00:27:27.019 --> 00:27:27.579
 Beside,

00:27:28.079 --> 00:27:29.039
 Muslims also

00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:29.559
 believe in

00:27:29.559 --> 00:27:30.339
 creationism,

00:27:30.779 --> 00:27:31.579
 right?

00:27:31.979 --> 00:27:32.379
 And it

00:27:32.379 --> 00:27:32.759
 doesn't mean

00:27:32.759 --> 00:27:33.119
 they would

00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:33.579
 believe in

00:27:33.579 --> 00:27:33.979
 Jesus,

00:27:34.659 --> 00:27:35.259
 not all

00:27:35.259 --> 00:27:35.519
 of them.

00:27:35.519 --> 00:27:37.980
 So we

00:27:37.980 --> 00:27:38.440
 can point

00:27:38.440 --> 00:27:38.859
 people to

00:27:38.859 --> 00:27:39.779
 Jesus first

00:27:39.779 --> 00:27:40.759
 and then

00:27:40.759 --> 00:27:41.599
 let Jesus

00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:42.440
 correct their

00:27:42.440 --> 00:27:43.220
 understanding of

00:27:43.220 --> 00:27:44.259
 creation over

00:27:44.259 --> 00:27:44.740
 time.

00:27:45.779 --> 00:27:46.099
 In his

00:27:46.099 --> 00:27:46.759
 perfect timing,

00:27:47.220 --> 00:27:47.799
 we can be

00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:48.240
 patient.

00:27:49.200 --> 00:27:49.720
 It is their

00:27:49.720 --> 00:27:50.700
 faith that

00:27:50.700 --> 00:27:51.139
 will drive

00:27:51.139 --> 00:27:51.460
 them to

00:27:51.460 --> 00:27:51.700
 seek

00:27:51.700 --> 00:27:52.440
 understanding,

00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:53.420
 not the

00:27:53.420 --> 00:27:53.759
 opposite.

00:27:56.059 --> 00:27:56.420
 Another

00:27:56.420 --> 00:27:58.740
 example of

00:27:58.740 --> 00:27:59.259
 non-essential

00:27:59.259 --> 00:28:00.400
 topics that's

00:28:00.400 --> 00:28:00.879
 becoming

00:28:00.879 --> 00:28:02.099
 unhelpful in

00:28:02.099 --> 00:28:03.679
 in presenting

00:28:03.679 --> 00:28:04.699
 Jesus is

00:28:04.699 --> 00:28:05.459
 heaven and

00:28:05.459 --> 00:28:05.799
 hell.

00:28:06.939 --> 00:28:07.659
 Heaven and

00:28:07.659 --> 00:28:07.879
 hell.

00:28:09.219 --> 00:28:10.139
 Non-Christians

00:28:10.139 --> 00:28:10.980
 used to

00:28:10.980 --> 00:28:12.319
 believe in

00:28:12.319 --> 00:28:12.759
 heaven and

00:28:12.759 --> 00:28:13.799
 hell because

00:28:13.799 --> 00:28:14.719
 it was part

00:28:14.719 --> 00:28:15.359
 of people's

00:28:15.359 --> 00:28:15.819
 upbringing,

00:28:16.179 --> 00:28:16.579
 part of the

00:28:16.579 --> 00:28:17.000
 culture,

00:28:17.319 --> 00:28:17.699
 part of the

00:28:17.699 --> 00:28:18.399
 stories that

00:28:18.399 --> 00:28:18.879
 they grew up

00:28:18.879 --> 00:28:19.159
 with.

00:28:20.039 --> 00:28:20.959
 So it was

00:28:20.959 --> 00:28:22.139
 useful to

00:28:22.139 --> 00:28:23.059
 include in

00:28:23.059 --> 00:28:23.399
 the gospel

00:28:23.399 --> 00:28:24.059
 presentation

00:28:24.059 --> 00:28:25.699
 heaven and

00:28:25.699 --> 00:28:25.899
 hell.

00:28:26.899 --> 00:28:27.679
 But studies

00:28:27.679 --> 00:28:28.319
 have shown that

00:28:28.319 --> 00:28:29.059
 it's no longer

00:28:29.059 --> 00:28:29.659
 the case.

00:28:29.660 --> 00:28:31.540
 our generation

00:28:31.540 --> 00:28:32.180
 thinks that

00:28:32.180 --> 00:28:32.680
 heaven and

00:28:32.680 --> 00:28:33.779
 hell is

00:28:33.779 --> 00:28:34.779
 just like

00:28:34.779 --> 00:28:35.680
 superstition.

00:28:36.180 --> 00:28:36.560
 It's a

00:28:36.560 --> 00:28:36.820
 myth.

00:28:37.700 --> 00:28:38.080
 The younger

00:28:38.080 --> 00:28:39.300
 generation would

00:28:39.300 --> 00:28:40.279
 rather believe in

00:28:40.279 --> 00:28:41.100
 the multiverse,

00:28:41.540 --> 00:28:41.700
 you know,

00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:42.740
 parallel universe,

00:28:42.900 --> 00:28:43.120
 right?

00:28:43.560 --> 00:28:43.759
 You know,

00:28:43.779 --> 00:28:44.279
 there are many

00:28:44.279 --> 00:28:45.040
 worlds and

00:28:45.040 --> 00:28:46.279
 many earths,

00:28:46.340 --> 00:28:46.500
 yeah?

00:28:47.320 --> 00:28:47.560
 You know,

00:28:47.560 --> 00:28:48.120
 why is that the

00:28:48.120 --> 00:28:48.400
 case?

00:28:48.500 --> 00:28:48.680
 Well,

00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:49.180
 they grew up

00:28:49.180 --> 00:28:49.560
 with it.

00:28:50.460 --> 00:28:50.640
 You know,

00:28:50.660 --> 00:28:51.360
 that's the stuff

00:28:51.360 --> 00:28:51.800
 they grew up

00:28:51.800 --> 00:28:52.480
 with, you know,

00:28:52.580 --> 00:28:53.420
 Spider-Man,

00:28:53.860 --> 00:28:54.140
 you know,

00:28:54.220 --> 00:28:54.700
 Avengers,

00:28:55.440 --> 00:28:56.120
 the flesh,

00:28:56.700 --> 00:28:56.980
 right?

00:28:57.320 --> 00:28:57.560
 Yeah,

00:28:57.620 --> 00:28:58.279
 that's what they

00:28:58.279 --> 00:28:58.980
 want to believe.

00:28:58.980 --> 00:28:59.460
 They don't

00:28:59.460 --> 00:28:59.900
 believe in

00:28:59.900 --> 00:29:00.299
 heaven and

00:29:00.299 --> 00:29:00.500
 hell.

00:29:02.799 --> 00:29:03.279
 Well,

00:29:04.420 --> 00:29:05.000
 the apostles

00:29:05.000 --> 00:29:05.960
 in the Bible

00:29:05.960 --> 00:29:06.740
 don't seem to

00:29:06.740 --> 00:29:07.380
 see heaven and

00:29:07.380 --> 00:29:08.000
 hell as an

00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:08.819
 essential point

00:29:08.819 --> 00:29:09.519
 when they

00:29:09.519 --> 00:29:10.299
 present Jesus

00:29:10.299 --> 00:29:10.779
 as well.

00:29:11.220 --> 00:29:11.940
 So let's

00:29:11.940 --> 00:29:12.360
 keep the

00:29:12.360 --> 00:29:12.940
 main thing

00:29:12.940 --> 00:29:13.460
 the main

00:29:13.460 --> 00:29:13.839
 thing.

00:29:14.680 --> 00:29:15.039
 And by the

00:29:15.039 --> 00:29:15.299
 way,

00:29:15.620 --> 00:29:16.099
 you cannot

00:29:16.099 --> 00:29:17.400
 prove heaven

00:29:17.400 --> 00:29:17.779
 and hell

00:29:17.779 --> 00:29:18.759
 actually exist.

00:29:19.180 --> 00:29:19.620
 It says in

00:29:19.620 --> 00:29:20.019
 the Bible,

00:29:20.160 --> 00:29:20.640
 but you can't

00:29:20.640 --> 00:29:21.400
 really prove it.

00:29:21.920 --> 00:29:22.460
 What you can

00:29:22.460 --> 00:29:23.180
 really prove

00:29:23.180 --> 00:29:24.259
 is that Jesus

00:29:24.259 --> 00:29:25.319
 actually died on

00:29:25.319 --> 00:29:25.759
 the cross

00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:27.039
 and rose again.

00:29:27.620 --> 00:29:28.059
 That is

00:29:28.059 --> 00:29:28.799
 historically

00:29:28.799 --> 00:29:29.599
 undeniable

00:29:29.599 --> 00:29:30.359
 fact that

00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:30.599
 you can

00:29:30.599 --> 00:29:30.940
 prove.

00:29:32.339 --> 00:29:32.639
 People

00:29:32.639 --> 00:29:33.099
 nowadays

00:29:33.099 --> 00:29:34.019
 find all

00:29:34.019 --> 00:29:34.759
 the isms

00:29:34.759 --> 00:29:35.899
 in Christianity

00:29:35.899 --> 00:29:36.799
 offensive.

00:29:37.980 --> 00:29:38.339
 Like, you

00:29:38.339 --> 00:29:38.419
 know,

00:29:38.539 --> 00:29:39.440
 Calvinism and

00:29:39.440 --> 00:29:40.079
 all the isms,

00:29:40.539 --> 00:29:40.700
 right?

00:29:40.799 --> 00:29:41.440
 Young people

00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:41.779
 nodding,

00:29:41.899 --> 00:29:42.019
 yeah,

00:29:42.259 --> 00:29:42.879
 I like that,

00:29:43.000 --> 00:29:43.359
 thank you.

00:29:44.220 --> 00:29:44.879
 But surveys

00:29:44.879 --> 00:29:45.720
 have shown that

00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:46.159
 people are

00:29:46.159 --> 00:29:46.839
 actually quite

00:29:46.839 --> 00:29:47.819
 positive about

00:29:47.819 --> 00:29:48.980
 Jesus himself.

00:29:50.359 --> 00:29:51.079
 They just

00:29:51.079 --> 00:29:51.599
 don't know

00:29:51.599 --> 00:29:52.319
 how Jesus

00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:52.940
 is different

00:29:52.940 --> 00:29:53.740
 to other

00:29:53.740 --> 00:29:54.460
 religious leaders

00:29:54.460 --> 00:29:55.559
 or how

00:29:55.559 --> 00:29:56.079
 he's relevant

00:29:56.079 --> 00:29:56.440
 to their

00:29:56.440 --> 00:29:56.860
 lives.

00:29:57.740 --> 00:29:58.480
 We should

00:29:58.480 --> 00:29:59.019
 leverage

00:29:59.019 --> 00:30:00.420
 this positive

00:30:00.420 --> 00:30:02.000
 attitude

00:30:02.000 --> 00:30:02.799
 towards Jesus

00:30:02.799 --> 00:30:03.840
 and learn

00:30:03.840 --> 00:30:04.319
 from this

00:30:04.319 --> 00:30:05.220
 Samaritan woman.

00:30:06.180 --> 00:30:06.680
 Humbly

00:30:06.680 --> 00:30:07.759
 present Jesus

00:30:07.759 --> 00:30:09.579
 and invite

00:30:09.579 --> 00:30:10.579
 people to

00:30:10.579 --> 00:30:11.299
 explore him

00:30:11.299 --> 00:30:11.640
 together.

00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:13.420
 We can say,

00:30:13.720 --> 00:30:14.140
 I don't know

00:30:14.140 --> 00:30:14.819
 everything about

00:30:14.819 --> 00:30:15.200
 Jesus,

00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:16.700
 but I can

00:30:16.700 --> 00:30:18.200
 hear some

00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:18.660
 people say

00:30:18.660 --> 00:30:19.000
 that he's

00:30:19.000 --> 00:30:19.779
 pretty amazing.

00:30:20.779 --> 00:30:21.180
 How about

00:30:21.180 --> 00:30:21.799
 we find out

00:30:21.799 --> 00:30:22.200
 together?

00:30:23.559 --> 00:30:23.740
 Right?

00:30:23.859 --> 00:30:24.519
 Explore him.

00:30:24.879 --> 00:30:25.399
 Meet Jesus.

00:30:27.359 --> 00:30:28.399
 This approach

00:30:28.399 --> 00:30:29.039
 that's as

00:30:29.039 --> 00:30:29.619
 old as the

00:30:29.619 --> 00:30:30.819
 Bible may

00:30:30.819 --> 00:30:31.639
 not be as

00:30:31.639 --> 00:30:33.159
 efficient as

00:30:33.159 --> 00:30:33.940
 thumping the

00:30:33.940 --> 00:30:34.519
 gospel onto

00:30:34.519 --> 00:30:35.220
 someone with

00:30:35.220 --> 00:30:35.879
 four to six

00:30:35.879 --> 00:30:36.579
 Bible verses,

00:30:37.139 --> 00:30:38.659
 but it can

00:30:38.659 --> 00:30:39.200
 be more

00:30:39.200 --> 00:30:39.960
 than effective

00:30:39.960 --> 00:30:40.859
 than you

00:30:40.859 --> 00:30:41.119
 think.

00:30:42.599 --> 00:30:43.000
 Besides

00:30:43.000 --> 00:30:43.579
 content,

00:30:44.240 --> 00:30:45.019
 I also want

00:30:45.019 --> 00:30:45.419
 to share

00:30:45.419 --> 00:30:46.159
 something about

00:30:46.159 --> 00:30:46.819
 the attitude

00:30:46.819 --> 00:30:47.779
 we need

00:30:47.779 --> 00:30:48.759
 when presenting

00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:49.399
 Jesus.

00:30:50.759 --> 00:30:51.399
 Worshipful

00:30:51.400 --> 00:30:53.100
 might be a

00:30:53.100 --> 00:30:54.240
 helpful adjective

00:30:54.240 --> 00:30:55.440
 here because

00:30:55.440 --> 00:30:55.920
 as Jesus

00:30:55.920 --> 00:30:56.420
 says in

00:30:56.420 --> 00:30:57.160
 verse 23,

00:30:57.740 --> 00:30:58.180
 the true

00:30:58.180 --> 00:30:58.740
 worshippers

00:30:58.740 --> 00:30:59.620
 will worship

00:30:59.620 --> 00:31:00.100
 the Father

00:31:00.100 --> 00:31:00.920
 in spirit

00:31:00.920 --> 00:31:01.640
 and truth,

00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:02.580
 for the

00:31:02.580 --> 00:31:03.500
 Father is

00:31:03.500 --> 00:31:04.360
 seeking such

00:31:04.360 --> 00:31:05.320
 people to

00:31:05.320 --> 00:31:05.980
 worship him.

00:31:06.820 --> 00:31:07.640
 So what is

00:31:07.640 --> 00:31:08.019
 worship?

00:31:08.759 --> 00:31:09.140
 What's

00:31:09.140 --> 00:31:09.460
 worship?

00:31:10.360 --> 00:31:10.900
 Is it just

00:31:10.900 --> 00:31:11.600
 singing a few

00:31:11.600 --> 00:31:12.140
 songs and

00:31:12.140 --> 00:31:12.480
 listening to

00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:12.840
 a sermon

00:31:12.840 --> 00:31:13.340
 and pray?

00:31:14.940 --> 00:31:15.380
 Well,

00:31:15.600 --> 00:31:16.000
 let's say

00:31:16.000 --> 00:31:16.640
 one day you

00:31:16.640 --> 00:31:17.080
 went to this

00:31:17.080 --> 00:31:17.600
 op shop,

00:31:17.980 --> 00:31:18.200
 okay?

00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:19.400
 You got a

00:31:19.400 --> 00:31:19.880
 painting that

00:31:19.880 --> 00:31:20.660
 you like for

00:31:20.660 --> 00:31:21.240
 20 bucks.

00:31:21.820 --> 00:31:22.220
 Something like

00:31:22.220 --> 00:31:22.519
 this.

00:31:23.220 --> 00:31:23.680
 Looks like a

00:31:23.680 --> 00:31:23.940
 bunch of

00:31:23.940 --> 00:31:24.560
 people working

00:31:24.560 --> 00:31:24.800
 in the

00:31:24.800 --> 00:31:25.300
 Hunter Valley

00:31:25.300 --> 00:31:25.519
 in the

00:31:25.519 --> 00:31:26.900
 vineyard.

00:31:28.460 --> 00:31:28.940
 Yeah.

00:31:29.600 --> 00:31:30.060
 So when

00:31:30.060 --> 00:31:30.360
 you got

00:31:30.360 --> 00:31:30.740
 home,

00:31:31.500 --> 00:31:31.940
 right,

00:31:32.019 --> 00:31:32.620
 you realize

00:31:32.620 --> 00:31:33.019
 it doesn't

00:31:33.019 --> 00:31:33.420
 go well

00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:33.740
 with your

00:31:33.740 --> 00:31:34.100
 furniture

00:31:34.100 --> 00:31:34.580
 and your

00:31:34.580 --> 00:31:35.220
 wall color

00:31:35.220 --> 00:31:35.500
 and all

00:31:35.500 --> 00:31:35.680
 that,

00:31:35.980 --> 00:31:36.380
 so you

00:31:36.380 --> 00:31:36.900
 stuck it

00:31:36.900 --> 00:31:37.240
 in your

00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:37.620
 bathroom

00:31:37.620 --> 00:31:38.480
 wall,

00:31:38.560 --> 00:31:38.780
 right?

00:31:39.019 --> 00:31:39.240
 Like,

00:31:39.440 --> 00:31:39.660
 you know,

00:31:39.660 --> 00:31:40.580
 it's empty

00:31:40.580 --> 00:31:40.860
 there,

00:31:40.920 --> 00:31:41.300
 put it

00:31:41.300 --> 00:31:41.519
 there.

00:31:42.200 --> 00:31:42.820
 A couple

00:31:42.820 --> 00:31:43.180
 of months

00:31:43.180 --> 00:31:43.720
 went by

00:31:43.720 --> 00:31:44.460
 and one

00:31:44.460 --> 00:31:44.680
 of your

00:31:44.680 --> 00:31:45.040
 cousins

00:31:45.040 --> 00:31:45.500
 came and

00:31:45.500 --> 00:31:45.700
 visited

00:31:45.700 --> 00:31:46.259
 your house.

00:31:46.820 --> 00:31:47.100
 After

00:31:47.100 --> 00:31:47.440
 dinner,

00:31:47.740 --> 00:31:47.860
 you know,

00:31:47.900 --> 00:31:48.240
 got a bit

00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:48.519
 full,

00:31:48.700 --> 00:31:49.040
 had to use

00:31:49.040 --> 00:31:49.519
 the bathroom.

00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:50.539
 He goes

00:31:50.539 --> 00:31:51.000
 in there

00:31:51.000 --> 00:31:51.559
 and he

00:31:51.559 --> 00:31:52.099
 comes in,

00:31:52.599 --> 00:31:53.139
 comes out,

00:31:53.480 --> 00:31:54.180
 basically kicking

00:31:54.180 --> 00:31:54.720
 and screaming.

00:31:55.839 --> 00:31:56.259
 Apparently,

00:31:56.779 --> 00:31:57.339
 she's an

00:31:57.339 --> 00:31:58.119
 art auctioneer

00:31:58.119 --> 00:31:59.079
 and this

00:31:59.079 --> 00:31:59.460
 painting,

00:31:59.559 --> 00:31:59.960
 she says,

00:32:00.099 --> 00:32:00.700
 is by who?

00:32:01.980 --> 00:32:02.660
 Van Gogh,

00:32:02.779 --> 00:32:03.000
 right?

00:32:03.119 --> 00:32:03.700
 You guys

00:32:03.700 --> 00:32:03.960
 know your

00:32:03.960 --> 00:32:04.099
 art,

00:32:04.140 --> 00:32:04.279
 I should

00:32:04.279 --> 00:32:04.500
 have done

00:32:04.500 --> 00:32:04.740
 better.

00:32:05.740 --> 00:32:06.299
 It's worth

00:32:06.299 --> 00:32:06.779
 over $100

00:32:06.779 --> 00:32:07.099
 million.

00:32:08.380 --> 00:32:08.940
 It's going

00:32:08.940 --> 00:32:10.119
 to pay

00:32:10.119 --> 00:32:10.660
 off your

00:32:10.660 --> 00:32:11.519
 mortgage and

00:32:11.519 --> 00:32:11.740
 pay off

00:32:11.740 --> 00:32:12.359
 everything else

00:32:12.359 --> 00:32:13.000
 for the rest

00:32:13.000 --> 00:32:13.160
 of your

00:32:13.160 --> 00:32:13.480
 life.

00:32:14.359 --> 00:32:14.819
 But you

00:32:14.819 --> 00:32:15.180
 have no

00:32:15.180 --> 00:32:15.700
 idea how

00:32:15.700 --> 00:32:16.039
 to take

00:32:16.039 --> 00:32:16.259
 care of

00:32:16.259 --> 00:32:16.720
 this thing.

00:32:17.019 --> 00:32:17.380
 It's too

00:32:17.380 --> 00:32:18.359
 valuable and

00:32:18.359 --> 00:32:18.799
 there's mold

00:32:18.799 --> 00:32:19.299
 growing on

00:32:19.299 --> 00:32:19.519
 it.

00:32:20.180 --> 00:32:20.680
 It's in the

00:32:20.680 --> 00:32:20.960
 bathroom.

00:32:21.140 --> 00:32:21.680
 So your

00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:22.299
 cousin got

00:32:22.299 --> 00:32:22.819
 you connected

00:32:22.819 --> 00:32:23.279
 with some

00:32:23.279 --> 00:32:23.960
 art restoration

00:32:23.960 --> 00:32:24.400
 expert,

00:32:24.960 --> 00:32:25.299
 get the

00:32:25.299 --> 00:32:25.900
 mold off,

00:32:26.660 --> 00:32:27.339
 get all

00:32:27.339 --> 00:32:28.140
 your environment

00:32:28.140 --> 00:32:28.779
 set up,

00:32:28.900 --> 00:32:29.960
 climate control

00:32:29.960 --> 00:32:30.440
 throughout the

00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:31.099
 whole house,

00:32:31.099 --> 00:32:32.359
 and have

00:32:32.359 --> 00:32:33.019
 security in

00:32:33.019 --> 00:32:33.339
 place,

00:32:33.419 --> 00:32:33.639
 you get

00:32:33.639 --> 00:32:34.039
 insurers,

00:32:34.139 --> 00:32:34.480
 you've spent

00:32:34.480 --> 00:32:34.899
 tens of

00:32:34.899 --> 00:32:35.319
 thousands of

00:32:35.319 --> 00:32:35.659
 dollars,

00:32:36.459 --> 00:32:36.740
 right?

00:32:37.199 --> 00:32:37.939
 And then,

00:32:38.279 --> 00:32:39.339
 most importantly,

00:32:39.639 --> 00:32:40.099
 you took the

00:32:40.099 --> 00:32:41.099
 painting outside

00:32:41.099 --> 00:32:42.879
 your bathroom,

00:32:43.519 --> 00:32:44.000
 you're stuck in

00:32:44.000 --> 00:32:45.039
 your living room,

00:32:45.139 --> 00:32:45.619
 you change all

00:32:45.619 --> 00:32:46.000
 your furniture,

00:32:46.259 --> 00:32:46.779
 you repainted

00:32:46.779 --> 00:32:47.279
 the house to

00:32:47.279 --> 00:32:47.659
 go with this

00:32:47.659 --> 00:32:48.019
 painting,

00:32:48.819 --> 00:32:49.139
 right?

00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:50.379
 Yeah, and it's

00:32:50.379 --> 00:32:50.939
 like a full-time

00:32:50.939 --> 00:32:51.559
 job looking after

00:32:51.559 --> 00:32:52.039
 this thing.

00:32:52.500 --> 00:32:53.000
 But you love

00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:53.179
 it.

00:32:53.279 --> 00:32:53.579
 You stop

00:32:53.579 --> 00:32:54.240
 watching TV,

00:32:54.359 --> 00:32:54.699
 you know why?

00:32:54.759 --> 00:32:55.359
 Because you're

00:32:55.359 --> 00:32:55.879
 staring at this

00:32:55.879 --> 00:32:56.240
 thing all the

00:32:56.240 --> 00:32:56.579
 time.

00:32:56.980 --> 00:32:57.539
 You're so happy

00:32:57.539 --> 00:32:57.919
 with it.

00:32:59.359 --> 00:33:00.119
 Everything else

00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:00.539
 can wait

00:33:00.539 --> 00:33:01.099
 because it

00:33:01.099 --> 00:33:01.519
 is so

00:33:01.519 --> 00:33:02.180
 important to

00:33:02.180 --> 00:33:02.319
 you.

00:33:03.119 --> 00:33:03.659
 And this,

00:33:03.859 --> 00:33:04.299
 my friend,

00:33:04.680 --> 00:33:05.319
 is worship.

00:33:06.059 --> 00:33:06.659
 That's worship.

00:33:08.079 --> 00:33:08.920
 Worship in

00:33:08.920 --> 00:33:09.960
 English, and you

00:33:09.960 --> 00:33:10.399
 know English

00:33:10.399 --> 00:33:11.039
 better than me,

00:33:11.659 --> 00:33:12.359
 the word comes

00:33:12.359 --> 00:33:13.480
 from worth and

00:33:13.480 --> 00:33:14.019
 then ship.

00:33:14.420 --> 00:33:14.779
 It's like

00:33:14.779 --> 00:33:15.119
 fellowship,

00:33:15.379 --> 00:33:15.700
 friendship,

00:33:16.139 --> 00:33:16.460
 worth,

00:33:16.680 --> 00:33:16.960
 ship.

00:33:17.559 --> 00:33:18.180
 That's where

00:33:18.180 --> 00:33:18.619
 the word came

00:33:18.619 --> 00:33:18.920
 from.

00:33:19.960 --> 00:33:20.720
 It's worship.

00:33:21.200 --> 00:33:22.579
 It's expressing

00:33:22.579 --> 00:33:23.039
 worth.

00:33:23.879 --> 00:33:24.579
 Whether you're

00:33:24.579 --> 00:33:25.159
 Christian or not,

00:33:25.279 --> 00:33:25.960
 everybody does

00:33:25.960 --> 00:33:26.180
 it.

00:33:27.579 --> 00:33:27.839
 You know,

00:33:27.899 --> 00:33:28.519
 we express

00:33:28.519 --> 00:33:29.460
 worth of what

00:33:29.460 --> 00:33:30.319
 is or who

00:33:30.319 --> 00:33:31.259
 is most

00:33:31.259 --> 00:33:32.120
 important to

00:33:32.120 --> 00:33:32.539
 us.

00:33:34.519 --> 00:33:35.160
 That's the

00:33:35.160 --> 00:33:35.779
 attitude we

00:33:35.779 --> 00:33:36.220
 need when

00:33:36.220 --> 00:33:37.000
 presenting Jesus.

00:33:38.019 --> 00:33:38.880
 We do it

00:33:38.880 --> 00:33:39.440
 because of

00:33:39.440 --> 00:33:40.299
 His infinite

00:33:40.299 --> 00:33:40.819
 worth.

00:33:41.420 --> 00:33:41.960
 We do it

00:33:41.960 --> 00:33:42.680
 because He's

00:33:42.680 --> 00:33:43.319
 worth me

00:33:43.319 --> 00:33:44.799
 rearranging the

00:33:44.799 --> 00:33:45.720
 whole life,

00:33:45.940 --> 00:33:46.400
 all of our

00:33:46.400 --> 00:33:47.259
 life, and

00:33:47.259 --> 00:33:48.019
 spending all

00:33:48.019 --> 00:33:48.640
 that we have,

00:33:48.799 --> 00:33:49.120
 energy,

00:33:49.319 --> 00:33:49.480
 money,

00:33:49.480 --> 00:33:50.000
 time,

00:33:50.120 --> 00:33:50.440
 whatever,

00:33:51.319 --> 00:33:52.100
 in order to

00:33:52.100 --> 00:33:53.079
 present Him

00:33:53.079 --> 00:33:53.620
 and make

00:33:53.620 --> 00:33:54.200
 Him known.

00:33:54.200 --> 00:33:57.860
 And isn't

00:33:57.860 --> 00:33:58.319
 that what we

00:33:58.319 --> 00:33:58.779
 saw in the

00:33:58.779 --> 00:33:59.340
 passage today

00:33:59.340 --> 00:33:59.700
 as well?

00:34:00.880 --> 00:34:01.440
 Look at

00:34:01.440 --> 00:34:02.299
 verse 28.

00:34:03.180 --> 00:34:03.740
 The woman

00:34:03.740 --> 00:34:04.420
 at the

00:34:04.420 --> 00:34:04.920
 well was

00:34:04.920 --> 00:34:05.559
 supposed to

00:34:05.559 --> 00:34:06.299
 get water.

00:34:07.000 --> 00:34:07.400
 What did

00:34:07.400 --> 00:34:07.740
 He do?

00:34:08.000 --> 00:34:08.539
 He left

00:34:08.539 --> 00:34:08.940
 her water

00:34:08.940 --> 00:34:09.880
 jar in

00:34:09.880 --> 00:34:10.159
 order to

00:34:10.159 --> 00:34:10.519
 go make

00:34:10.519 --> 00:34:11.099
 Jesus known.

00:34:12.360 --> 00:34:12.800
 What's she

00:34:12.800 --> 00:34:13.119
 going to

00:34:13.119 --> 00:34:13.860
 drink or

00:34:13.860 --> 00:34:14.340
 cook with

00:34:14.340 --> 00:34:14.780
 or clean

00:34:14.780 --> 00:34:15.519
 with for

00:34:15.519 --> 00:34:15.800
 the rest

00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:15.980
 of the

00:34:15.980 --> 00:34:16.220
 day?

00:34:16.980 --> 00:34:17.500
 She can't

00:34:17.500 --> 00:34:17.940
 just turn a

00:34:17.940 --> 00:34:18.460
 tap on and

00:34:18.460 --> 00:34:18.820
 have water

00:34:18.820 --> 00:34:19.320
 coming in,

00:34:19.360 --> 00:34:19.599
 you know.

00:34:20.240 --> 00:34:20.820
 She needs

00:34:20.820 --> 00:34:21.179
 water.

00:34:21.179 --> 00:34:23.559
 We don't

00:34:23.559 --> 00:34:24.019
 know how

00:34:24.019 --> 00:34:24.659
 the rest

00:34:24.659 --> 00:34:24.980
 of the

00:34:24.980 --> 00:34:25.539
 day went

00:34:25.539 --> 00:34:25.940
 for her,

00:34:26.940 --> 00:34:27.599
 but she

00:34:27.599 --> 00:34:27.879
 probably

00:34:27.879 --> 00:34:28.179
 didn't

00:34:28.179 --> 00:34:28.480
 care.

00:34:29.639 --> 00:34:30.039
 What we

00:34:30.039 --> 00:34:31.579
 know is

00:34:31.579 --> 00:34:32.159
 that she

00:34:32.159 --> 00:34:33.279
 is worshipping.

00:34:34.199 --> 00:34:34.799
 She is

00:34:34.799 --> 00:34:35.259
 worshipping.

00:34:36.199 --> 00:34:36.579
 She is

00:34:36.579 --> 00:34:37.239
 becoming the

00:34:37.239 --> 00:34:37.659
 kind of

00:34:37.659 --> 00:34:38.099
 worshipper

00:34:38.099 --> 00:34:39.039
 that God

00:34:39.039 --> 00:34:39.500
 seeks.

00:34:41.419 --> 00:34:42.239
 In his

00:34:42.239 --> 00:34:42.460
 book,

00:34:42.639 --> 00:34:43.119
 Our Guilty

00:34:43.119 --> 00:34:43.739
 Silence,

00:34:44.399 --> 00:34:44.879
 John Stott

00:34:44.879 --> 00:34:46.039
 says that

00:34:46.039 --> 00:34:46.379
 worship

00:34:46.379 --> 00:34:47.119
 involves

00:34:47.119 --> 00:34:47.599
 witness,

00:34:48.179 --> 00:34:48.739
 and witness

00:34:48.739 --> 00:34:49.559
 involves

00:34:49.559 --> 00:34:50.059
 worship.

00:34:50.699 --> 00:34:51.099
 You cannot

00:34:51.099 --> 00:34:51.860
 divorce the

00:34:51.860 --> 00:34:52.159
 two.

00:34:53.719 --> 00:34:53.960
 And I

00:34:53.960 --> 00:34:54.259
 quote,

00:34:55.920 --> 00:34:56.319
 Worship

00:34:56.319 --> 00:34:56.839
 that is

00:34:56.839 --> 00:34:57.400
 pleasing to

00:34:57.400 --> 00:34:58.000
 God will

00:34:58.000 --> 00:34:58.699
 inevitably

00:34:58.699 --> 00:34:59.539
 send us

00:34:59.539 --> 00:35:00.239
 out to

00:35:00.239 --> 00:35:01.019
 bear witness

00:35:01.019 --> 00:35:01.519
 of the

00:35:01.519 --> 00:35:02.360
 name we

00:35:02.360 --> 00:35:02.860
 have sought

00:35:02.860 --> 00:35:03.679
 to honour.

00:35:05.539 --> 00:35:06.400
 He also

00:35:06.400 --> 00:35:06.739
 wrote,

00:35:06.900 --> 00:35:07.099
 and I

00:35:07.099 --> 00:35:07.360
 quote,

00:35:08.239 --> 00:35:08.839
 that worship

00:35:08.839 --> 00:35:09.519
 which does

00:35:09.519 --> 00:35:10.219
 not beget

00:35:10.219 --> 00:35:11.539
 mission is

00:35:11.539 --> 00:35:12.440
 hypocrisy.

00:35:14.019 --> 00:35:14.819
 How should

00:35:14.819 --> 00:35:15.199
 we make

00:35:15.199 --> 00:35:15.799
 Jesus known?

00:35:16.599 --> 00:35:17.099
 First,

00:35:17.639 --> 00:35:18.139
 we need to

00:35:18.139 --> 00:35:19.079
 present Jesus

00:35:19.079 --> 00:35:20.000
 worshipfully.

00:35:21.099 --> 00:35:22.079
 second,

00:35:22.319 --> 00:35:22.599
 we should

00:35:22.599 --> 00:35:23.380
 also pray

00:35:23.380 --> 00:35:24.079
 for his

00:35:24.079 --> 00:35:24.679
 presence

00:35:24.679 --> 00:35:25.679
 intentionally.

00:35:26.839 --> 00:35:27.880
 This point

00:35:27.880 --> 00:35:28.319
 is about

00:35:28.319 --> 00:35:29.179
 making Jesus

00:35:29.179 --> 00:35:30.119
 known in a

00:35:30.119 --> 00:35:30.559
 big way.

00:35:31.920 --> 00:35:32.759
 In John 4,

00:35:33.360 --> 00:35:34.019
 a spiritual

00:35:34.019 --> 00:35:34.920
 awakening

00:35:34.920 --> 00:35:35.679
 appears to

00:35:35.679 --> 00:35:36.099
 have happened

00:35:36.099 --> 00:35:37.039
 or taken

00:35:37.039 --> 00:35:37.500
 place.

00:35:38.199 --> 00:35:38.719
 Some people

00:35:38.719 --> 00:35:39.219
 call it a

00:35:39.219 --> 00:35:39.619
 revival.

00:35:40.839 --> 00:35:41.360
 It began

00:35:41.360 --> 00:35:41.880
 with one

00:35:41.880 --> 00:35:42.480
 woman meeting

00:35:42.480 --> 00:35:42.880
 Jesus,

00:35:43.559 --> 00:35:44.259
 then verse

00:35:44.259 --> 00:35:45.019
 39 says

00:35:45.019 --> 00:35:46.159
 many Samaritans

00:35:46.159 --> 00:35:46.799
 believed in

00:35:46.799 --> 00:35:47.599
 Jesus because

00:35:47.599 --> 00:35:48.259
 of this one

00:35:48.260 --> 00:35:48.660
 woman's

00:35:48.660 --> 00:35:49.020
 testimony.

00:35:49.700 --> 00:35:49.900
 And then

00:35:49.900 --> 00:35:51.820
 verse 41

00:35:51.820 --> 00:35:53.020
 says many

00:35:53.020 --> 00:35:53.900
 more believed

00:35:53.900 --> 00:35:54.240
 in him.

00:35:55.040 --> 00:35:55.400
 That's an

00:35:55.400 --> 00:35:56.300
 explosion of

00:35:56.300 --> 00:35:56.700
 followers.

00:35:57.020 --> 00:35:57.140
 What

00:35:57.140 --> 00:35:57.520
 happened?

00:35:58.660 --> 00:35:58.880
 Well,

00:35:58.980 --> 00:35:59.680
 verse 40

00:35:59.680 --> 00:36:00.100
 happened.

00:36:00.700 --> 00:36:01.100
 Please take

00:36:01.100 --> 00:36:01.420
 a look.

00:36:01.860 --> 00:36:02.160
 In the

00:36:02.160 --> 00:36:02.440
 Bible,

00:36:03.260 --> 00:36:03.720
 it says

00:36:03.720 --> 00:36:04.360
 they prayed

00:36:04.360 --> 00:36:05.240
 for Christ's

00:36:05.240 --> 00:36:05.700
 presence

00:36:05.700 --> 00:36:06.480
 intentionally.

00:36:07.480 --> 00:36:08.280
 What is

00:36:08.280 --> 00:36:08.760
 intentional

00:36:08.760 --> 00:36:09.140
 prayer?

00:36:10.020 --> 00:36:10.260
 Well,

00:36:10.320 --> 00:36:10.840
 the initial

00:36:10.840 --> 00:36:11.860
 group of

00:36:11.860 --> 00:36:12.380
 Samaritans

00:36:12.380 --> 00:36:12.800
 who believed

00:36:12.800 --> 00:36:13.300
 in Jesus,

00:36:13.540 --> 00:36:14.000
 based on

00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:15.180
 that woman's

00:36:15.180 --> 00:36:15.560
 testimony,

00:36:16.120 --> 00:36:16.460
 were in

00:36:16.460 --> 00:36:16.760
 town.

00:36:16.760 --> 00:36:17.680
 They were

00:36:17.680 --> 00:36:17.980
 in the

00:36:17.980 --> 00:36:18.320
 town,

00:36:18.420 --> 00:36:18.960
 inside the

00:36:18.960 --> 00:36:19.240
 city.

00:36:20.060 --> 00:36:20.740
 Jesus was

00:36:20.740 --> 00:36:21.040
 at the

00:36:21.040 --> 00:36:21.320
 well,

00:36:21.540 --> 00:36:21.940
 which was

00:36:21.940 --> 00:36:22.600
 outside the

00:36:22.600 --> 00:36:22.860
 city.

00:36:23.360 --> 00:36:23.780
 By the way,

00:36:23.820 --> 00:36:24.240
 that well is

00:36:24.240 --> 00:36:24.440
 there,

00:36:24.520 --> 00:36:24.840
 so you can

00:36:24.840 --> 00:36:25.280
 go take a

00:36:25.280 --> 00:36:25.540
 look if

00:36:25.540 --> 00:36:25.820
 you want.

00:36:26.560 --> 00:36:26.940
 It's way

00:36:26.940 --> 00:36:27.380
 outside the

00:36:27.380 --> 00:36:27.620
 town.

00:36:28.120 --> 00:36:28.640
 So they

00:36:28.640 --> 00:36:28.940
 had to

00:36:28.940 --> 00:36:29.420
 walk all

00:36:29.420 --> 00:36:29.640
 the way

00:36:29.640 --> 00:36:30.120
 to Jesus

00:36:30.120 --> 00:36:30.920
 to make

00:36:30.920 --> 00:36:31.680
 their request,

00:36:32.120 --> 00:36:32.340
 and I

00:36:32.340 --> 00:36:32.660
 call that

00:36:32.660 --> 00:36:32.960
 prayer.

00:36:34.200 --> 00:36:34.620
 It was

00:36:34.620 --> 00:36:35.120
 not like

00:36:35.120 --> 00:36:35.740
 the quick

00:36:35.740 --> 00:36:36.220
 prayers that

00:36:36.220 --> 00:36:36.680
 we're used

00:36:36.680 --> 00:36:36.920
 to,

00:36:37.220 --> 00:36:37.400
 you know,

00:36:37.420 --> 00:36:37.860
 before the

00:36:37.860 --> 00:36:38.140
 meal,

00:36:38.460 --> 00:36:38.760
 when you're

00:36:38.760 --> 00:36:39.100
 taking a

00:36:39.100 --> 00:36:39.460
 shower,

00:36:39.880 --> 00:36:40.260
 before you

00:36:40.260 --> 00:36:40.720
 sleep.

00:36:41.820 --> 00:36:42.220
 Whenever,

00:36:43.220 --> 00:36:44.940
 it was a

00:36:44.940 --> 00:36:45.900
 very intentional

00:36:45.900 --> 00:36:46.540
 prayer that

00:36:46.539 --> 00:36:46.940
 they made.

00:36:48.159 --> 00:36:48.779
 They put

00:36:48.779 --> 00:36:49.079
 aside

00:36:49.079 --> 00:36:49.539
 everything.

00:36:50.800 --> 00:36:51.159
 Everything

00:36:51.159 --> 00:36:51.579
 stopped.

00:36:52.039 --> 00:36:52.380
 Stopped

00:36:52.380 --> 00:36:52.699
 working,

00:36:52.920 --> 00:36:53.099
 stopped

00:36:53.099 --> 00:36:53.440
 eating,

00:36:54.159 --> 00:36:54.420
 stopped

00:36:54.420 --> 00:36:55.119
 running errands,

00:36:55.159 --> 00:36:55.320
 stopped

00:36:55.320 --> 00:36:55.759
 serving,

00:36:55.880 --> 00:36:56.159
 whatever.

00:36:56.500 --> 00:36:56.840
 They stopped

00:36:56.840 --> 00:36:57.199
 everything.

00:36:58.019 --> 00:36:58.440
 They took

00:36:58.440 --> 00:36:59.139
 a step at

00:36:59.139 --> 00:36:59.599
 a time

00:36:59.599 --> 00:37:00.199
 together,

00:37:00.739 --> 00:37:01.219
 and they

00:37:01.219 --> 00:37:02.360
 approached the

00:37:02.360 --> 00:37:02.840
 throne of

00:37:02.840 --> 00:37:03.199
 grace.

00:37:04.119 --> 00:37:04.400
 There was

00:37:04.400 --> 00:37:04.699
 nothing

00:37:04.699 --> 00:37:05.599
 convenient about

00:37:05.599 --> 00:37:05.800
 it.

00:37:06.539 --> 00:37:07.400
 That is

00:37:07.400 --> 00:37:08.079
 intentional

00:37:08.079 --> 00:37:08.599
 corporate

00:37:08.599 --> 00:37:09.019
 prayer.

00:37:10.079 --> 00:37:10.779
 What did

00:37:10.779 --> 00:37:11.159
 they ask

00:37:11.159 --> 00:37:11.380
 for?

00:37:12.079 --> 00:37:12.880
 The ESV

00:37:12.880 --> 00:37:13.480
 Bible says

00:37:13.480 --> 00:37:13.920
 they asked

00:37:13.920 --> 00:37:14.539
 Jesus to

00:37:14.539 --> 00:37:15.079
 stay with

00:37:15.079 --> 00:37:15.239
 them.

00:37:15.239 --> 00:37:17.479
 And Jesus

00:37:17.479 --> 00:37:17.919
 stayed for

00:37:17.919 --> 00:37:18.439
 two days.

00:37:19.339 --> 00:37:19.519
 Now,

00:37:19.599 --> 00:37:20.019
 this word

00:37:20.019 --> 00:37:21.000
 stay,

00:37:21.219 --> 00:37:21.579
 sometimes

00:37:21.579 --> 00:37:22.179
 translated

00:37:22.179 --> 00:37:23.119
 dwell or

00:37:23.119 --> 00:37:23.619
 abide,

00:37:24.159 --> 00:37:24.979
 is a huge

00:37:24.979 --> 00:37:25.659
 word in

00:37:25.659 --> 00:37:26.000
 John's

00:37:26.000 --> 00:37:26.339
 dictionary.

00:37:27.599 --> 00:37:27.979
 He used

00:37:27.979 --> 00:37:28.439
 it 40

00:37:28.439 --> 00:37:29.359
 times in

00:37:29.359 --> 00:37:29.919
 his gospel

00:37:29.919 --> 00:37:30.339
 account.

00:37:30.899 --> 00:37:31.059
 You know,

00:37:31.079 --> 00:37:31.439
 the blue

00:37:31.439 --> 00:37:31.879
 parts on

00:37:31.879 --> 00:37:32.639
 the right

00:37:32.639 --> 00:37:33.019
 hand side,

00:37:33.099 --> 00:37:33.519
 the huge

00:37:33.519 --> 00:37:34.059
 section of

00:37:34.059 --> 00:37:34.379
 the pie,

00:37:34.439 --> 00:37:34.619
 you can

00:37:34.619 --> 00:37:34.959
 see it.

00:37:35.599 --> 00:37:35.899
 He used

00:37:35.899 --> 00:37:36.259
 it 40

00:37:36.259 --> 00:37:36.639
 times,

00:37:36.639 --> 00:37:36.979
 more than

00:37:36.979 --> 00:37:37.299
 everybody

00:37:37.299 --> 00:37:37.679
 else.

00:37:38.359 --> 00:37:38.599
 And the

00:37:38.599 --> 00:37:38.759
 green

00:37:38.759 --> 00:37:39.079
 section,

00:37:39.179 --> 00:37:39.399
 I'm a bit

00:37:39.399 --> 00:37:39.799
 colorblind,

00:37:39.859 --> 00:37:40.159
 is that green

00:37:40.159 --> 00:37:40.399
 on the

00:37:40.399 --> 00:37:40.779
 top left?

00:37:40.780 --> 00:37:42.460
 Yeah?

00:37:42.900 --> 00:37:43.500
 That's the

00:37:43.500 --> 00:37:44.040
 first John.

00:37:44.880 --> 00:37:45.160
 So,

00:37:45.320 --> 00:37:45.700
 altogether,

00:37:46.460 --> 00:37:47.260
 John uses

00:37:47.260 --> 00:37:47.820
 that word

00:37:47.820 --> 00:37:49.760
 abide or

00:37:49.760 --> 00:37:50.480
 stay more

00:37:50.480 --> 00:37:50.920
 than anybody

00:37:50.920 --> 00:37:51.440
 else in

00:37:51.440 --> 00:37:51.660
 the New

00:37:51.660 --> 00:37:52.019
 Testament.

00:37:53.900 --> 00:37:54.380
 Now,

00:37:54.560 --> 00:37:55.340
 abide means

00:37:55.340 --> 00:37:55.840
 a lot more

00:37:55.840 --> 00:37:56.360
 than doing

00:37:56.360 --> 00:37:56.840
 Airbnb

00:37:56.840 --> 00:37:57.460
 together.

00:37:58.540 --> 00:37:59.180
 It's more

00:37:59.180 --> 00:37:59.880
 like sharing

00:37:59.880 --> 00:38:00.680
 life with

00:38:00.680 --> 00:38:01.080
 each other.

00:38:01.880 --> 00:38:02.240
 We heard

00:38:02.240 --> 00:38:02.620
 about that

00:38:02.620 --> 00:38:02.980
 in John

00:38:02.980 --> 00:38:03.820
 15 the

00:38:03.820 --> 00:38:04.200
 other week,

00:38:04.280 --> 00:38:04.560
 didn't we?

00:38:05.560 --> 00:38:06.120
 Abide in

00:38:06.120 --> 00:38:06.540
 me as I

00:38:06.540 --> 00:38:06.960
 abide in

00:38:06.960 --> 00:38:07.140
 you.

00:38:08.280 --> 00:38:08.500
 The

00:38:08.500 --> 00:38:09.140
 Samaritans

00:38:09.140 --> 00:38:09.760
 asked for

00:38:09.760 --> 00:38:10.020
 Jesus'

00:38:10.240 --> 00:38:10.700
 presence.

00:38:11.480 --> 00:38:11.600
 And

00:38:11.600 --> 00:38:12.040
 Jesus

00:38:12.040 --> 00:38:12.760
 abided

00:38:12.760 --> 00:38:13.040
 with

00:38:13.040 --> 00:38:13.240
 them,

00:38:13.660 --> 00:38:14.000
 abided

00:38:14.000 --> 00:38:14.440
 in them.

00:38:14.860 --> 00:38:14.980
 He

00:38:14.980 --> 00:38:15.400
 shared

00:38:15.400 --> 00:38:15.820
 life

00:38:15.820 --> 00:38:16.040
 with

00:38:16.040 --> 00:38:16.220
 them.

00:38:17.360 --> 00:38:17.860
 So,

00:38:17.940 --> 00:38:18.160
 what was

00:38:18.160 --> 00:38:18.600
 the result?

00:38:20.020 --> 00:38:20.520
 In

00:38:20.520 --> 00:38:21.100
 verse 41,

00:38:21.240 --> 00:38:21.660
 the ESV

00:38:21.660 --> 00:38:22.360
 Bible says,

00:38:22.720 --> 00:38:23.240
 and many

00:38:23.240 --> 00:38:23.520
 more

00:38:23.520 --> 00:38:24.040
 believed

00:38:24.040 --> 00:38:25.060
 because of

00:38:25.060 --> 00:38:25.500
 his word.

00:38:26.400 --> 00:38:26.700
 Now,

00:38:27.080 --> 00:38:27.720
 is this

00:38:27.720 --> 00:38:28.380
 word some

00:38:28.380 --> 00:38:28.760
 kind of

00:38:28.760 --> 00:38:29.200
 mystery

00:38:29.200 --> 00:38:29.700
 sermon

00:38:29.700 --> 00:38:30.160
 that we

00:38:30.160 --> 00:38:30.500
 don't know

00:38:30.500 --> 00:38:30.760
 about?

00:38:31.420 --> 00:38:32.060
 I don't

00:38:32.060 --> 00:38:32.520
 think so.

00:38:33.520 --> 00:38:33.740
 The

00:38:33.740 --> 00:38:34.280
 verse in

00:38:34.280 --> 00:38:34.840
 Greek here

00:38:34.840 --> 00:38:35.180
 can be

00:38:35.180 --> 00:38:35.940
 translated as

00:38:35.940 --> 00:38:36.400
 something like

00:38:36.400 --> 00:38:36.760
 this.

00:38:38.260 --> 00:38:39.140
 Bottom of

00:38:39.140 --> 00:38:39.480
 the slide

00:38:39.480 --> 00:38:39.700
 here.

00:38:39.760 --> 00:38:41.120
 And

00:38:41.120 --> 00:38:41.360
 many

00:38:41.360 --> 00:38:41.820
 more

00:38:41.820 --> 00:38:42.560
 believed

00:38:42.560 --> 00:38:43.280
 because

00:38:43.280 --> 00:38:43.560
 of

00:38:43.560 --> 00:38:44.020
 him,

00:38:44.280 --> 00:38:44.400
 the

00:38:44.400 --> 00:38:44.680
 word.

00:38:46.540 --> 00:38:47.140
 The

00:38:47.140 --> 00:38:47.440
 word

00:38:47.440 --> 00:38:48.080
 here

00:38:48.080 --> 00:38:48.720
 in

00:38:48.720 --> 00:38:48.920
 Greek

00:38:48.920 --> 00:38:49.160
 is

00:38:49.160 --> 00:38:49.520
 logos.

00:38:50.320 --> 00:38:50.860
 That's

00:38:50.860 --> 00:38:51.080
 what

00:38:51.080 --> 00:38:51.420
 John

00:38:51.420 --> 00:38:51.820
 calls

00:38:51.820 --> 00:38:52.260
 Jesus

00:38:52.260 --> 00:38:52.840
 in

00:38:52.840 --> 00:38:53.020
 John

00:38:53.020 --> 00:38:53.220
 chapter

00:38:53.220 --> 00:38:53.460
 1,

00:38:53.520 --> 00:38:53.700
 verse

00:38:53.700 --> 00:38:53.980
 1.

00:38:54.980 --> 00:38:55.140
 In

00:38:55.140 --> 00:38:55.280
 the

00:38:55.280 --> 00:38:55.760
 beginning

00:38:55.760 --> 00:38:55.980
 was

00:38:55.980 --> 00:38:56.100
 the

00:38:56.100 --> 00:38:56.440
 word,

00:38:56.840 --> 00:38:57.060
 the

00:38:57.060 --> 00:38:57.320
 word

00:38:57.320 --> 00:38:57.520
 was

00:38:57.520 --> 00:38:57.920
 God,

00:38:58.300 --> 00:38:58.500
 and

00:38:58.500 --> 00:38:58.620
 the

00:38:58.620 --> 00:38:58.840
 word

00:38:58.840 --> 00:38:59.020
 was

00:38:59.020 --> 00:38:59.200
 with

00:38:59.200 --> 00:38:59.520
 God.

00:39:01.040 --> 00:39:01.600
 The

00:39:01.600 --> 00:39:01.980
 word

00:39:01.980 --> 00:39:02.280
 or

00:39:02.280 --> 00:39:02.580
 logos

00:39:02.580 --> 00:39:03.640
 can

00:39:03.640 --> 00:39:03.900
 mean

00:39:03.900 --> 00:39:04.140
 the

00:39:04.140 --> 00:39:04.560
 message,

00:39:05.340 --> 00:39:05.540
 but

00:39:05.540 --> 00:39:06.000
 people at

00:39:06.000 --> 00:39:06.120
 the

00:39:06.120 --> 00:39:06.500
 time

00:39:06.500 --> 00:39:06.860
 would

00:39:06.860 --> 00:39:07.000
 have

00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:07.360
 understood

00:39:07.360 --> 00:39:07.620
 it

00:39:07.620 --> 00:39:07.880
 to be

00:39:07.880 --> 00:39:08.140
 something

00:39:08.140 --> 00:39:08.540
 else.

00:39:08.539 --> 00:39:09.320
 It

00:39:09.320 --> 00:39:09.699
 means

00:39:09.699 --> 00:39:10.019
 the

00:39:10.019 --> 00:39:10.519
 principle

00:39:10.519 --> 00:39:11.139
 that

00:39:11.139 --> 00:39:11.639
 rules

00:39:11.639 --> 00:39:11.880
 or

00:39:11.880 --> 00:39:12.519
 governs

00:39:12.519 --> 00:39:13.059
 the

00:39:13.059 --> 00:39:13.579
 universe

00:39:13.579 --> 00:39:14.099
 or the

00:39:14.099 --> 00:39:14.460
 cosmos.

00:39:15.500 --> 00:39:16.059
 So

00:39:16.059 --> 00:39:16.440
 Jesus

00:39:16.440 --> 00:39:17.000
 must have

00:39:17.000 --> 00:39:17.619
 claimed the

00:39:17.619 --> 00:39:17.980
 term

00:39:17.980 --> 00:39:18.380
 the

00:39:18.380 --> 00:39:18.659
 logos

00:39:18.659 --> 00:39:19.440
 and

00:39:19.440 --> 00:39:19.779
 shown

00:39:19.779 --> 00:39:19.980
 the

00:39:19.980 --> 00:39:20.599
 Samaritans

00:39:20.599 --> 00:39:21.699
 how he is

00:39:21.699 --> 00:39:22.179
 the true

00:39:22.179 --> 00:39:22.500
 logos

00:39:22.500 --> 00:39:23.659
 that governs

00:39:23.659 --> 00:39:24.219
 and rules

00:39:24.219 --> 00:39:24.719
 the world.

00:39:24.719 --> 00:39:25.339
 God

00:39:25.339 --> 00:39:26.399
 is

00:39:26.399 --> 00:39:26.559
 not

00:39:26.559 --> 00:39:26.759
 some

00:39:26.759 --> 00:39:27.079
 kind

00:39:27.079 --> 00:39:27.239
 of

00:39:27.239 --> 00:39:27.859
 impersonal

00:39:27.859 --> 00:39:28.319
 principle.

00:39:29.159 --> 00:39:29.259
 It

00:39:29.259 --> 00:39:29.419
 is

00:39:29.419 --> 00:39:29.819
 him

00:39:29.819 --> 00:39:30.359
 that

00:39:30.359 --> 00:39:30.739
 rules

00:39:30.739 --> 00:39:30.919
 the

00:39:30.919 --> 00:39:31.279
 world.

00:39:32.399 --> 00:39:32.719
 Therefore,

00:39:32.980 --> 00:39:33.099
 in

00:39:33.099 --> 00:39:33.739
 verse 42,

00:39:34.219 --> 00:39:34.359
 the

00:39:34.359 --> 00:39:34.899
 Samaritans

00:39:34.899 --> 00:39:35.059
 were

00:39:35.059 --> 00:39:35.399
 able

00:39:35.399 --> 00:39:35.679
 to

00:39:35.679 --> 00:39:36.139
 proclaim

00:39:36.139 --> 00:39:36.799
 that

00:39:36.799 --> 00:39:37.119
 Jesus

00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:37.579
 is

00:39:37.579 --> 00:39:38.199
 indeed

00:39:38.199 --> 00:39:38.679
 the

00:39:38.679 --> 00:39:39.000
 savior

00:39:39.000 --> 00:39:39.419
 of

00:39:39.419 --> 00:39:39.579
 the

00:39:39.579 --> 00:39:39.939
 world,

00:39:40.319 --> 00:39:40.399
 which

00:39:40.399 --> 00:39:40.599
 in

00:39:40.599 --> 00:39:40.879
 Greek

00:39:40.879 --> 00:39:41.199
 is

00:39:41.199 --> 00:39:41.839
 cosmos.

00:39:43.959 --> 00:39:44.559
 And

00:39:44.559 --> 00:39:45.319
 verse 42

00:39:45.319 --> 00:39:46.039
 clarifies

00:39:46.039 --> 00:39:46.379
 this

00:39:46.379 --> 00:39:46.699
 too.

00:39:47.659 --> 00:39:47.859
 These

00:39:47.859 --> 00:39:48.079
 new

00:39:48.079 --> 00:39:48.459
 believers

00:39:48.459 --> 00:39:48.779
 went

00:39:48.779 --> 00:39:48.980
 back

00:39:48.980 --> 00:39:49.099
 to

00:39:49.099 --> 00:39:49.199
 the

00:39:49.199 --> 00:39:49.439
 woman

00:39:49.439 --> 00:39:50.359
 at

00:39:50.359 --> 00:39:50.459
 the

00:39:50.459 --> 00:39:50.679
 well

00:39:50.679 --> 00:39:51.279
 and

00:39:51.279 --> 00:39:51.579
 told

00:39:51.579 --> 00:39:51.819
 her

00:39:51.819 --> 00:39:52.059
 that

00:39:52.059 --> 00:39:52.439
 their

00:39:52.439 --> 00:39:52.839
 belief

00:39:52.839 --> 00:39:53.059
 is

00:39:53.059 --> 00:39:53.219
 no

00:39:53.219 --> 00:39:53.579
 longer

00:39:53.579 --> 00:39:54.099
 based

00:39:54.099 --> 00:39:54.259
 on

00:39:54.259 --> 00:39:54.420
 their

00:39:54.420 --> 00:39:54.619
 head

00:39:54.619 --> 00:39:55.059
 knowledge

00:39:55.059 --> 00:39:55.480
 or

00:39:55.480 --> 00:39:56.039
 hearsay.

00:39:56.699 --> 00:39:57.159
 We

00:39:57.159 --> 00:39:57.340
 don't

00:39:57.340 --> 00:39:57.639
 believe

00:39:57.639 --> 00:39:57.980
 Jesus

00:39:57.980 --> 00:39:58.299
 because

00:39:58.299 --> 00:39:58.500
 of

00:39:58.500 --> 00:39:58.679
 you

00:39:58.679 --> 00:39:59.119
 anymore,

00:39:59.579 --> 00:39:59.779
 they

00:39:59.779 --> 00:40:00.059
 said.

00:40:00.539 --> 00:40:00.699
 We

00:40:00.699 --> 00:40:00.860
 now

00:40:00.860 --> 00:40:01.920
 believe

00:40:01.920 --> 00:40:02.139
 in

00:40:02.139 --> 00:40:02.440
 Jesus

00:40:02.440 --> 00:40:02.860
 because

00:40:02.860 --> 00:40:03.099
 of

00:40:03.099 --> 00:40:03.380
 him.

00:40:04.819 --> 00:40:05.279
 You

00:40:05.279 --> 00:40:05.420
 know

00:40:05.420 --> 00:40:05.599
 how

00:40:05.599 --> 00:40:05.799
 people

00:40:05.799 --> 00:40:06.099
 say,

00:40:06.239 --> 00:40:06.299
 I

00:40:06.299 --> 00:40:06.480
 came

00:40:06.480 --> 00:40:06.619
 to

00:40:06.619 --> 00:40:06.900
 faith

00:40:06.900 --> 00:40:07.199
 because

00:40:07.199 --> 00:40:07.380
 of

00:40:07.380 --> 00:40:07.579
 Billy

 or

00:40:12.159 --> 00:40:12.719
 Calderwood?

00:40:14.360 --> 00:40:14.960
 Whoever

00:40:14.960 --> 00:40:15.400
 the speaker

00:40:15.400 --> 00:40:15.900
 may be,

00:40:16.380 --> 00:40:16.659
 people

00:40:16.659 --> 00:40:17.259
 need to

00:40:17.259 --> 00:40:17.579
 believe

00:40:17.579 --> 00:40:17.819
 in

00:40:17.819 --> 00:40:18.199
 Jesus

00:40:18.199 --> 00:40:18.860
 because

00:40:18.860 --> 00:40:19.400
 of

00:40:19.400 --> 00:40:19.739
 Jesus,

00:40:20.239 --> 00:40:20.719
 not

00:40:20.719 --> 00:40:21.039
 because

00:40:21.039 --> 00:40:21.219
 of

00:40:21.219 --> 00:40:21.380
 the

00:40:21.380 --> 00:40:21.759
 messenger.

00:40:21.760 --> 00:40:23.220
 the

00:40:23.220 --> 00:40:23.800
 Samaritans

00:40:23.800 --> 00:40:24.040
 now

00:40:24.040 --> 00:40:25.400
 believe

00:40:25.400 --> 00:40:25.840
 because

00:40:25.840 --> 00:40:26.060
 they

00:40:26.060 --> 00:40:26.280
 have

00:40:26.280 --> 00:40:26.700
 both

00:40:26.700 --> 00:40:27.020
 heard

00:40:27.020 --> 00:40:27.180
 for

00:40:27.180 --> 00:40:27.580
 themselves

00:40:27.580 --> 00:40:28.160
 and

00:40:28.160 --> 00:40:28.520
 know

00:40:28.520 --> 00:40:28.680
 for

00:40:28.680 --> 00:40:29.180
 themselves

00:40:29.180 --> 00:40:29.920
 who

00:40:29.920 --> 00:40:30.180
 Jesus

00:40:30.180 --> 00:40:30.580
 is.

00:40:31.280 --> 00:40:31.740
 To

00:40:31.740 --> 00:40:32.020
 know

00:40:32.020 --> 00:40:32.400
 here

00:40:32.400 --> 00:40:33.260
 means

00:40:33.260 --> 00:40:33.460
 to

00:40:33.460 --> 00:40:34.180
 experience

00:40:34.180 --> 00:40:34.880
 personally.

00:40:35.440 --> 00:40:35.640
 They

00:40:35.640 --> 00:40:36.000
 really

00:40:36.000 --> 00:40:36.540
 got it.

00:40:37.640 --> 00:40:37.900
 Jesus

00:40:37.900 --> 00:40:38.340
 has been

00:40:38.340 --> 00:40:39.280
 really

00:40:39.280 --> 00:40:40.120
 made

00:40:40.120 --> 00:40:40.520
 known

00:40:40.520 --> 00:40:41.140
 in a

00:40:41.140 --> 00:40:41.460
 big

00:40:41.460 --> 00:40:41.760
 way

00:40:41.760 --> 00:40:42.400
 because

00:40:42.400 --> 00:40:42.840
 a group

00:40:42.840 --> 00:40:43.260
 of them

00:40:43.260 --> 00:40:44.040
 prayed

00:40:44.040 --> 00:40:44.420
 for his

00:40:44.420 --> 00:40:44.980
 presence

00:40:44.980 --> 00:40:46.040
 intentionally.

00:40:46.039 --> 00:40:48.400
 So some

00:40:48.400 --> 00:40:48.759
 of us

00:40:48.759 --> 00:40:49.320
 had heard

00:40:49.320 --> 00:40:49.579
 about

00:40:49.579 --> 00:40:49.960
 Jesus.

00:40:50.460 --> 00:40:50.719
 Some

00:40:50.719 --> 00:40:51.039
 of us

00:40:51.039 --> 00:40:51.519
 know a

00:40:51.519 --> 00:40:51.699
 lot

00:40:51.699 --> 00:40:52.000
 about

00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:52.460
 Jesus.

00:40:53.059 --> 00:40:53.539
 But some

00:40:53.539 --> 00:40:54.019
 of us

00:40:54.019 --> 00:40:54.360
 have

00:40:54.360 --> 00:40:55.380
 personally

00:40:55.380 --> 00:40:56.400
 experienced

00:40:56.400 --> 00:40:56.840
 Jesus.

00:40:57.539 --> 00:40:57.800
 These

00:40:57.800 --> 00:40:58.340
 things are

00:40:58.340 --> 00:40:58.759
 not the

00:40:58.759 --> 00:40:59.059
 same.

00:41:00.259 --> 00:41:00.880
 If we

00:41:00.880 --> 00:41:01.199
 want to

00:41:01.199 --> 00:41:01.679
 see an

00:41:01.679 --> 00:41:02.380
 explosion

00:41:02.380 --> 00:41:02.679
 of

00:41:02.679 --> 00:41:03.099
 people

00:41:03.099 --> 00:41:04.320
 who

00:41:04.320 --> 00:41:04.500
 would

00:41:04.500 --> 00:41:04.960
 proclaim

00:41:04.960 --> 00:41:05.460
 Jesus

00:41:05.460 --> 00:41:06.000
 as the

00:41:06.000 --> 00:41:06.199
 Savior

00:41:06.199 --> 00:41:06.500
 of the

00:41:06.500 --> 00:41:06.719
 world

00:41:06.719 --> 00:41:07.059
 because

00:41:07.059 --> 00:41:07.239
 they

00:41:07.239 --> 00:41:07.400
 have

00:41:07.400 --> 00:41:07.840
 personally

00:41:07.840 --> 00:41:08.440
 experienced

00:41:08.440 --> 00:41:08.719
 him,

00:41:09.460 --> 00:41:09.960
 once or

00:41:09.960 --> 00:41:10.380
 twice a

00:41:10.380 --> 00:41:10.800
 year of

00:41:10.800 --> 00:41:11.199
 smoking

00:41:11.199 --> 00:41:11.639
 joes

00:41:11.639 --> 00:41:12.219
 won't

00:41:12.219 --> 00:41:12.460
 be

00:41:12.460 --> 00:41:12.940
 enough.

00:41:12.940 --> 00:41:14.480
 52

00:41:14.480 --> 00:41:15.240
 services

00:41:15.240 --> 00:41:16.280
 that we

00:41:16.280 --> 00:41:16.920
 hold here

00:41:16.920 --> 00:41:17.920
 were not

00:41:17.920 --> 00:41:18.840
 enough in

00:41:18.840 --> 00:41:19.159
 a year.

00:41:19.820 --> 00:41:20.240
 We must

00:41:20.240 --> 00:41:21.019
 pray more,

00:41:21.440 --> 00:41:21.860
 a lot

00:41:21.860 --> 00:41:22.260
 more,

00:41:22.679 --> 00:41:22.940
 for his

00:41:22.940 --> 00:41:23.519
 presence

00:41:23.519 --> 00:41:24.099
 and

00:41:24.099 --> 00:41:24.619
 intentionally

00:41:24.619 --> 00:41:25.300
 together.

00:41:26.559 --> 00:41:27.220
 Someone

00:41:27.220 --> 00:41:27.760
 said that

00:41:27.760 --> 00:41:28.539
 a non-praying

00:41:28.539 --> 00:41:29.619
 church is

00:41:29.619 --> 00:41:30.320
 just a

00:41:30.720 --> 00:41:31.320
 church.

00:41:32.800 --> 00:41:32.900
 And

00:41:40.460 --> 00:41:40.900
 also wrote

00:41:40.900 --> 00:41:41.280
 a book

00:41:41.280 --> 00:41:42.079
 called

00:41:42.079 --> 00:41:42.340
 True

00:41:42.340 --> 00:41:43.160
 Evangelism.

00:41:44.019 --> 00:41:44.380
 He said

00:41:44.380 --> 00:41:44.840
 the work

00:41:44.840 --> 00:41:45.039
 of

00:41:45.039 --> 00:41:45.760
 evangelism

00:41:45.760 --> 00:41:46.660
 is more

00:41:46.660 --> 00:41:48.360
 talking to

00:41:48.360 --> 00:41:48.720
 God

00:41:48.720 --> 00:41:49.340
 than

00:41:49.340 --> 00:41:49.700
 talking

00:41:49.700 --> 00:41:50.079
 about

00:41:50.079 --> 00:41:50.460
 God.

00:41:55.740 --> 00:41:56.280
 Or

00:41:56.280 --> 00:41:56.660
 talking to

00:41:56.660 --> 00:41:56.920
 people.

00:42:00.260 --> 00:42:00.840
 In

00:42:00.840 --> 00:42:02.680

00:42:03.220 --> 00:42:03.539
 a late

00:42:03.539 --> 00:42:03.940
 believer,

00:42:04.500 --> 00:42:04.980
 Jeremiah

00:42:04.980 --> 00:42:05.600
 Lenfler,

00:42:06.100 --> 00:42:06.740
 started a

00:42:06.740 --> 00:42:07.300
 lunchtime

00:42:07.300 --> 00:42:07.900
 prayer meeting

00:42:07.900 --> 00:42:08.620
 in New

00:42:08.620 --> 00:42:09.059
 York City.

00:42:09.680 --> 00:42:10.019
 Guess how

00:42:10.019 --> 00:42:10.400
 many people

00:42:10.400 --> 00:42:10.840
 showed up

00:42:10.840 --> 00:42:11.180
 the first

00:42:11.180 --> 00:42:11.500
 time?

00:42:12.340 --> 00:42:13.200
 It was

00:42:13.200 --> 00:42:13.820
 six people.

00:42:15.280 --> 00:42:16.160
 Then by

00:42:16.160 --> 00:42:16.760
 next year,

00:42:16.860 --> 00:42:17.240
 the following

00:42:17.240 --> 00:42:17.640
 year,

00:42:18.079 --> 00:42:18.440
 guess how

00:42:18.440 --> 00:42:18.900
 many people

00:42:18.900 --> 00:42:19.360
 are praying?

00:42:21.960 --> 00:42:23.059
 10,000.

00:42:24.960 --> 00:42:25.600
 Every

00:42:25.600 --> 00:42:26.700
 single day,

00:42:27.320 --> 00:42:28.360
 10,000 people

00:42:28.360 --> 00:42:29.700
 gathered and

00:42:29.700 --> 00:42:30.059
 prayed.

00:42:30.880 --> 00:42:31.260
 In New

00:42:31.260 --> 00:42:31.539
 York,

00:42:33.120 --> 00:42:34.100
 this revival,

00:42:34.260 --> 00:42:34.760
 known as the

00:42:34.760 --> 00:42:35.140
 businessman

00:42:35.140 --> 00:42:35.700
 revival,

00:42:35.840 --> 00:42:36.400
 spread across

00:42:36.400 --> 00:42:36.940
 the entire

00:42:36.940 --> 00:42:37.420
 U.S.

00:42:37.420 --> 00:42:38.460
 The estimated

00:42:38.460 --> 00:42:39.120
 1 million

00:42:39.120 --> 00:42:39.980
 people came

00:42:39.980 --> 00:42:40.440
 to Christ

00:42:40.440 --> 00:42:40.940
 within

00:42:40.940 --> 00:42:41.800
 two years.

00:42:42.760 --> 00:42:43.460
 Two years.

00:42:45.639 --> 00:42:45.920
 Then

00:42:45.920 --> 00:42:46.679
 following that,

00:42:47.420 --> 00:42:47.980
 if you look

00:42:47.980 --> 00:42:48.460
 at history,

00:42:49.000 --> 00:42:49.559
 we have the

00:42:49.559 --> 00:42:50.539
 abolition of

00:42:50.539 --> 00:42:50.900
 slavery,

00:42:51.519 --> 00:42:52.139
 we have

00:42:52.139 --> 00:42:53.300
 prison reform,

00:42:54.240 --> 00:42:54.480
 there was

00:42:54.480 --> 00:42:55.340
 improvement in

00:42:55.340 --> 00:42:56.119
 social justice

00:42:56.119 --> 00:42:57.099
 and women's

00:42:57.099 --> 00:42:57.440
 rights.

00:42:59.059 --> 00:42:59.760
 It all

00:42:59.760 --> 00:43:00.820
 followed because

00:43:00.820 --> 00:43:01.480
 the gospel

00:43:01.480 --> 00:43:02.639
 renewal that

00:43:02.639 --> 00:43:03.119
 started with

00:43:03.119 --> 00:43:03.940
 six people

00:43:03.940 --> 00:43:06.539
 started

00:43:06.539 --> 00:43:07.760
 rippling

00:43:07.760 --> 00:43:08.179
 through the

00:43:08.179 --> 00:43:08.699
 society

00:43:08.699 --> 00:43:10.199
 from within.

00:43:12.299 --> 00:43:12.859
 Jesus'

00:43:13.039 --> 00:43:13.299
 name was

00:43:13.299 --> 00:43:14.219
 well glorified.

00:43:14.639 --> 00:43:14.899
 It all

00:43:14.899 --> 00:43:15.359
 started with

00:43:15.359 --> 00:43:15.859
 six people

00:43:15.859 --> 00:43:16.259
 praying

00:43:16.259 --> 00:43:17.179
 intentionally

00:43:17.179 --> 00:43:17.659
 together.

00:43:19.299 --> 00:43:19.419
 Now,

00:43:19.519 --> 00:43:19.919
 fast forward

00:43:19.919 --> 00:43:20.859
 to 2023,

00:43:21.159 --> 00:43:21.759
 last year,

00:43:22.619 --> 00:43:23.139
 you may have

00:43:23.139 --> 00:43:23.460
 heard of

00:43:23.460 --> 00:43:23.739
 this.

00:43:24.500 --> 00:43:25.179
 In Asprey

00:43:25.179 --> 00:43:25.739
 University,

00:43:26.099 --> 00:43:26.480
 a small

00:43:30.919 --> 00:43:31.419
 a revival

00:43:31.419 --> 00:43:32.159
 also happened.

00:43:33.559 --> 00:43:34.039
 It started

00:43:34.039 --> 00:43:34.759
 after a

00:43:34.759 --> 00:43:35.679
 usual weekday

00:43:35.679 --> 00:43:36.539
 chapel service

00:43:36.539 --> 00:43:37.380
 like what

00:43:37.380 --> 00:43:38.360
 Martin probably

00:43:38.360 --> 00:43:38.800
 does at

00:43:38.800 --> 00:43:39.420
 Newcastle.

00:43:40.759 --> 00:43:40.900
 The

00:43:40.900 --> 00:43:41.500
 chaplain spoke,

00:43:42.420 --> 00:43:43.239
 preached a

00:43:43.239 --> 00:43:44.179
 biblical sermon,

00:43:44.320 --> 00:43:44.719
 I went

00:43:44.719 --> 00:43:45.119
 online and

00:43:45.119 --> 00:43:45.460
 heard it,

00:43:46.440 --> 00:43:47.279
 and then he

00:43:47.279 --> 00:43:47.960
 led a

00:43:47.960 --> 00:43:48.380
 concluding

00:43:48.380 --> 00:43:49.079
 prayer at

00:43:49.079 --> 00:43:49.279
 the end

00:43:49.279 --> 00:43:49.440
 of the

00:43:49.440 --> 00:43:49.880
 service and

00:43:49.880 --> 00:43:50.440
 then students

00:43:50.440 --> 00:43:50.940
 dismissed,

00:43:51.199 --> 00:43:51.360
 goes,

00:43:51.440 --> 00:43:51.759
 go home,

00:43:51.840 --> 00:43:52.259
 go back to

00:43:52.259 --> 00:43:52.500
 class,

00:43:52.539 --> 00:43:52.699
 right?

00:43:53.820 --> 00:43:54.420
 But a

00:43:54.420 --> 00:43:55.199
 few students

00:43:55.199 --> 00:43:56.340
 stayed back.

00:43:57.599 --> 00:43:58.259
 Rather than

00:43:58.259 --> 00:43:59.079
 chit-chat like

00:43:59.079 --> 00:43:59.659
 we always do,

00:43:59.900 --> 00:44:00.719
 and chit-chat is a

00:44:00.719 --> 00:44:01.219
 good thing too,

00:44:01.960 --> 00:44:02.840
 some of them

00:44:02.840 --> 00:44:03.460
 actually stayed

00:44:03.460 --> 00:44:03.940
 back and just

00:44:03.940 --> 00:44:04.239
 prayed.

00:44:04.239 --> 00:44:06.059
 And what

00:44:06.059 --> 00:44:06.519
 happened after

00:44:06.519 --> 00:44:06.739
 that?

00:44:07.659 --> 00:44:08.439
 Next thing you

00:44:08.439 --> 00:44:08.739
 know,

00:44:09.379 --> 00:44:10.059
 more and more

00:44:10.059 --> 00:44:11.139
 students came

00:44:11.139 --> 00:44:11.859
 into the chapel

00:44:11.859 --> 00:44:12.619
 and started

00:44:12.619 --> 00:44:12.979
 praying.

00:44:14.099 --> 00:44:15.019
 More came

00:44:15.019 --> 00:44:15.699
 and more

00:44:15.699 --> 00:44:16.019
 came.

00:44:17.039 --> 00:44:17.479
 And then

00:44:17.479 --> 00:44:18.199
 people started

00:44:18.199 --> 00:44:18.759
 coming from

00:44:18.759 --> 00:44:19.479
 other colleges,

00:44:20.699 --> 00:44:21.759
 from outside

00:44:21.759 --> 00:44:22.139
 the city,

00:44:22.819 --> 00:44:23.259
 from another

00:44:23.259 --> 00:44:23.639
 state.

00:44:24.439 --> 00:44:24.979
 Then people

00:44:24.979 --> 00:44:25.779
 from outside

00:44:25.779 --> 00:44:26.359
 the world,

00:44:26.759 --> 00:44:27.319
 like outside

00:44:27.319 --> 00:44:27.959
 America,

00:44:28.459 --> 00:44:28.879
 their world,

00:44:29.879 --> 00:44:30.259
 started,

00:44:30.399 --> 00:44:30.699
 you know,

00:44:31.299 --> 00:44:31.699
 coming to

00:44:31.699 --> 00:44:32.099
 this chapel

00:44:32.099 --> 00:44:32.519
 and prayed.

00:44:32.519 --> 00:44:35.940
 there are

00:44:35.940 --> 00:44:36.300
 people

00:44:36.300 --> 00:44:37.820
 confessing,

00:44:38.860 --> 00:44:39.159
 there are

00:44:39.159 --> 00:44:39.519
 people

00:44:39.519 --> 00:44:40.619
 repenting,

00:44:41.340 --> 00:44:42.619
 and they're

00:44:42.619 --> 00:44:43.000
 just on

00:44:43.000 --> 00:44:43.539
 their knees

00:44:43.539 --> 00:44:44.759
 and they're

00:44:44.759 --> 00:44:45.199
 worshipping.

00:44:46.599 --> 00:44:47.139
 There's

00:44:47.139 --> 00:44:47.860
 nothing charismatic

00:44:47.860 --> 00:44:48.400
 about this,

00:44:48.460 --> 00:44:48.840
 by the way.

00:44:49.759 --> 00:44:50.059
 People are

00:44:50.059 --> 00:44:51.059
 just spontaneously

00:44:51.059 --> 00:44:51.880
 doing that.

00:44:55.659 --> 00:44:56.539
 This one-hour

00:44:56.539 --> 00:44:56.940
 service,

00:44:57.059 --> 00:44:57.360
 which was

00:44:57.360 --> 00:44:57.820
 extended,

00:44:59.420 --> 00:45:00.179
 became 16

00:45:00.179 --> 00:45:00.639
 days,

00:45:01.219 --> 00:45:02.000
 24-7.

00:45:02.519 --> 00:45:03.860
 the town,

00:45:04.800 --> 00:45:05.059
 there's

00:45:05.059 --> 00:45:05.320
 usually

00:45:05.320 --> 00:45:05.940
 6,000

00:45:05.940 --> 00:45:06.300
 residents

00:45:06.300 --> 00:45:06.659
 there.

00:45:08.280 --> 00:45:09.360
 200,000

00:45:09.360 --> 00:45:09.900
 people showed

00:45:09.900 --> 00:45:11.000
 up within

00:45:11.000 --> 00:45:11.579
 two weeks,

00:45:12.300 --> 00:45:14.579
 asking for

00:45:14.579 --> 00:45:15.000
 Christ,

00:45:15.119 --> 00:45:15.739
 for forgiveness,

00:45:16.380 --> 00:45:16.920
 and they

00:45:16.920 --> 00:45:17.320
 worshipped.

00:45:17.539 --> 00:45:17.920
 And this is

00:45:17.920 --> 00:45:18.239
 the queue

00:45:18.239 --> 00:45:18.639
 that you see

00:45:18.639 --> 00:45:19.059
 on the screen

00:45:19.059 --> 00:45:19.320
 here.

00:45:20.420 --> 00:45:20.860
 I checked

00:45:20.860 --> 00:45:21.539
 their recordings.

00:45:23.139 --> 00:45:23.539
 Guess what

00:45:23.539 --> 00:45:23.820
 they were

00:45:23.820 --> 00:45:24.380
 praying for

00:45:24.380 --> 00:45:24.920
 before all

00:45:24.920 --> 00:45:25.219
 these people

00:45:25.219 --> 00:45:25.719
 showed up?

00:45:25.719 --> 00:45:28.019
 they were

00:45:28.019 --> 00:45:28.319
 simply

00:45:28.319 --> 00:45:28.879
 praying for

00:45:28.879 --> 00:45:29.519
 Christ's

00:45:29.519 --> 00:45:30.039
 presence.

00:45:31.259 --> 00:45:31.939
 They were

00:45:31.939 --> 00:45:32.399
 asking for

00:45:32.399 --> 00:45:33.699
 Christ's

00:45:33.699 --> 00:45:34.899
 peace be

00:45:34.899 --> 00:45:35.179
 here,

00:45:35.539 --> 00:45:35.939
 peace come

00:45:35.939 --> 00:45:36.339
 to us.

00:45:38.059 --> 00:45:38.719
 How should

00:45:38.719 --> 00:45:38.980
 we make

00:45:38.980 --> 00:45:39.799
 Jesus known?

00:45:40.659 --> 00:45:41.079
 Pray for

00:45:41.079 --> 00:45:41.619
 his presence

00:45:41.619 --> 00:45:42.239
 intentionally.

00:45:44.239 --> 00:45:44.759
 Finally,

00:45:44.839 --> 00:45:45.279
 we come to

00:45:45.279 --> 00:45:45.679
 the third

00:45:45.679 --> 00:45:45.980
 and last

00:45:45.980 --> 00:45:46.619
 point of

00:45:46.619 --> 00:45:47.059
 how we

00:45:47.059 --> 00:45:47.379
 should make

00:45:47.379 --> 00:45:47.679
 Jesus

00:45:47.679 --> 00:45:48.000
 known.

00:45:48.939 --> 00:45:49.259
 Well,

00:45:49.859 --> 00:45:50.279
 we should

00:45:50.279 --> 00:45:50.879
 be powered

00:45:50.880 --> 00:45:51.740
 by the

00:45:51.740 --> 00:45:52.579
 joy of

00:45:52.579 --> 00:45:53.079
 eternity.

00:45:55.180 --> 00:45:55.539
 Isn't

00:45:55.539 --> 00:45:55.760
 making

00:45:55.760 --> 00:45:56.079
 Jesus

00:45:56.079 --> 00:45:56.480
 known,

00:45:56.980 --> 00:45:57.240
 isn't

00:45:57.240 --> 00:45:57.579
 laboring

00:45:57.579 --> 00:45:57.860
 for the

00:45:57.860 --> 00:45:58.160
 gospel

00:45:58.160 --> 00:45:59.140
 about

00:45:59.140 --> 00:45:59.599
 obeying

00:45:59.599 --> 00:45:59.780
 the

00:45:59.780 --> 00:45:59.980
 great

00:45:59.980 --> 00:46:00.340
 commission

00:46:00.340 --> 00:46:01.220
 and

00:46:01.220 --> 00:46:01.720
 fulfilling

00:46:01.720 --> 00:46:02.079
 the

00:46:02.079 --> 00:46:02.440
 Christian

00:46:02.440 --> 00:46:02.900
 duty

00:46:02.900 --> 00:46:03.260
 that's

00:46:03.260 --> 00:46:03.440
 given

00:46:03.440 --> 00:46:03.880
 to us?

00:46:05.099 --> 00:46:05.740
 Yes,

00:46:06.119 --> 00:46:06.660
 it is.

00:46:07.539 --> 00:46:08.019
 But John

00:46:08.019 --> 00:46:08.599
 wants to

00:46:08.599 --> 00:46:09.140
 remind the

00:46:09.140 --> 00:46:09.720
 church here

00:46:09.720 --> 00:46:10.820
 not to

00:46:10.820 --> 00:46:11.240
 neglect

00:46:11.240 --> 00:46:12.160
 the joy

00:46:12.160 --> 00:46:12.940
 of making

00:46:12.940 --> 00:46:13.340
 Jesus

00:46:13.340 --> 00:46:13.680
 known.

00:46:15.099 --> 00:46:15.900
 Do it

00:46:15.900 --> 00:46:16.360
 because you

00:46:16.360 --> 00:46:16.820
 want to,

00:46:17.260 --> 00:46:17.640
 not just

00:46:17.640 --> 00:46:18.059
 because you

00:46:18.059 --> 00:46:18.440
 have to.

00:46:19.800 --> 00:46:20.200
 In verse

00:46:20.200 --> 00:46:20.760
 35,

00:46:21.880 --> 00:46:22.119
 Jesus

00:46:22.119 --> 00:46:22.599
 says,

00:46:23.220 --> 00:46:23.940
 do you

00:46:23.940 --> 00:46:24.340
 not say

00:46:24.340 --> 00:46:24.740
 there are

00:46:24.740 --> 00:46:25.099
 yet four

00:46:25.099 --> 00:46:25.420
 months

00:46:25.420 --> 00:46:26.720
 then comes

00:46:26.720 --> 00:46:27.039
 the harvest?

00:46:27.140 --> 00:46:27.280
 Look,

00:46:27.320 --> 00:46:27.660
 I tell you,

00:46:27.700 --> 00:46:28.099
 lift up your

00:46:28.099 --> 00:46:28.559
 eyes and

00:46:28.559 --> 00:46:29.360
 see that

00:46:29.360 --> 00:46:29.720
 the fields

00:46:29.720 --> 00:46:30.079
 are white

00:46:30.079 --> 00:46:30.640
 for harvest.

00:46:31.019 --> 00:46:31.500
 Now it's

00:46:31.500 --> 00:46:31.860
 the harvest.

00:46:31.980 --> 00:46:32.220
 Don't need

00:46:32.220 --> 00:46:32.440
 to wait

00:46:32.440 --> 00:46:32.780
 for four

00:46:32.780 --> 00:46:33.059
 months.

00:46:34.599 --> 00:46:34.780
 Now,

00:46:34.840 --> 00:46:35.079
 what's the

00:46:35.079 --> 00:46:35.400
 big deal

00:46:35.400 --> 00:46:35.740
 about the

00:46:35.740 --> 00:46:36.099
 harvest?

00:46:38.300 --> 00:46:38.420
 In

00:46:38.420 --> 00:46:39.380
 Exodus

00:46:39.380 --> 00:46:41.980
 23,

00:46:43.059 --> 00:46:43.640
 God

00:46:43.640 --> 00:46:44.160
 commanded

00:46:44.160 --> 00:46:44.740
 Israel to

00:46:44.740 --> 00:46:45.099
 keep the

00:46:45.099 --> 00:46:45.420
 feast of

00:46:45.420 --> 00:46:45.800
 the harvest.

00:46:47.059 --> 00:46:47.480
 And another

00:46:47.480 --> 00:46:47.980
 name of the

00:46:47.980 --> 00:46:48.380
 feast of the

00:46:48.380 --> 00:46:48.820
 harvest is

00:46:48.820 --> 00:46:49.039
 what?

00:46:50.300 --> 00:46:50.740
 Anybody

00:46:50.739 --> 00:46:51.119
 join us?

00:46:52.299 --> 00:46:52.759
 Pentecost,

00:46:53.000 --> 00:46:53.299
 yeah,

00:46:53.739 --> 00:46:54.000
 it's the

00:46:54.000 --> 00:46:54.500
 Pentecost.

00:46:55.099 --> 00:46:55.259
 It's a

00:46:55.259 --> 00:46:55.579
 great time

00:46:55.579 --> 00:46:56.039
 of celebration,

00:46:56.179 --> 00:46:56.519
 isn't it?

00:46:58.239 --> 00:46:59.339
 God wanted

00:46:59.339 --> 00:46:59.719
 to make

00:46:59.719 --> 00:47:00.879
 sure the

00:47:00.879 --> 00:47:01.479
 entire

00:47:01.479 --> 00:47:02.159
 nation

00:47:02.159 --> 00:47:03.000
 would

00:47:03.000 --> 00:47:03.419
 chuck a

00:47:03.419 --> 00:47:03.779
 party

00:47:03.779 --> 00:47:04.619
 because of

00:47:04.619 --> 00:47:05.119
 this harvest.

00:47:05.559 --> 00:47:05.779
 Why?

00:47:06.379 --> 00:47:07.139
 To celebrate

00:47:07.139 --> 00:47:07.739
 His grace.

00:47:08.959 --> 00:47:09.279
 It's a

00:47:09.279 --> 00:47:10.039
 command to

00:47:10.039 --> 00:47:10.539
 rejoice.

00:47:12.459 --> 00:47:12.919
 Here in

00:47:12.919 --> 00:47:13.459
 John 4,

00:47:13.619 --> 00:47:14.339
 Jesus says

00:47:14.339 --> 00:47:15.239
 that laboring

00:47:15.239 --> 00:47:15.619
 for the

00:47:15.619 --> 00:47:16.879
 gospel is

00:47:16.879 --> 00:47:17.419
 just like

00:47:17.420 --> 00:47:17.940
 the time

00:47:17.940 --> 00:47:18.619
 of harvest.

00:47:19.360 --> 00:47:20.000
 It's time

00:47:20.000 --> 00:47:20.740
 to celebrate

00:47:20.740 --> 00:47:21.220
 God's

00:47:21.220 --> 00:47:21.680
 grace.

00:47:22.340 --> 00:47:22.920
 Rejoice.

00:47:23.280 --> 00:47:23.599
 We love

00:47:23.599 --> 00:47:24.220
 singing that

00:47:24.220 --> 00:47:24.440
 song,

00:47:24.539 --> 00:47:24.680
 right?

00:47:25.139 --> 00:47:25.400
 Here,

00:47:25.579 --> 00:47:26.059
 rejoice.

00:47:30.260 --> 00:47:30.880
 Let's

00:47:30.880 --> 00:47:31.220
 look at

00:47:31.220 --> 00:47:32.420
 verse 36.

00:47:33.579 --> 00:47:34.019
 Already

00:47:34.019 --> 00:47:34.539
 the one

00:47:34.539 --> 00:47:35.019
 who reaps

00:47:35.019 --> 00:47:36.500
 is receiving

00:47:36.500 --> 00:47:37.380
 wages and

00:47:37.380 --> 00:47:37.780
 gathering

00:47:37.780 --> 00:47:39.559
 fruits for

00:47:39.559 --> 00:47:40.360
 or into

00:47:40.360 --> 00:47:41.200
 eternal life

00:47:41.200 --> 00:47:42.119
 so that

00:47:42.119 --> 00:47:42.659
 the sower

00:47:42.659 --> 00:47:43.220
 and the

00:47:43.220 --> 00:47:43.579
 reaper

00:47:43.579 --> 00:47:44.760
 may rejoice

00:47:44.760 --> 00:47:45.700
 together.

00:47:45.699 --> 00:47:47.679
 one of

00:47:47.679 --> 00:47:48.239
 the sobering

00:47:48.239 --> 00:47:48.699
 realities

00:47:48.699 --> 00:47:49.299
 that we

00:47:49.299 --> 00:47:49.579
 all need

00:47:49.579 --> 00:47:50.119
 to face

00:47:50.119 --> 00:47:51.059
 is no

00:47:51.059 --> 00:47:51.419
 matter how

00:47:51.419 --> 00:47:51.819
 hard you

00:47:51.819 --> 00:47:52.219
 work,

00:47:52.899 --> 00:47:53.379
 no matter

00:47:53.379 --> 00:47:53.739
 what kind

00:47:53.739 --> 00:47:54.099
 of money

00:47:54.099 --> 00:47:54.739
 you make,

00:47:55.480 --> 00:47:56.439
 every single

00:47:56.439 --> 00:47:56.980
 cent,

00:47:57.819 --> 00:47:58.000
 you know,

00:47:58.059 --> 00:47:58.419
 all the

00:47:58.419 --> 00:47:59.199
 stuff you

00:47:59.199 --> 00:47:59.919
 save into

00:47:59.919 --> 00:48:00.559
 the super

00:48:00.559 --> 00:48:01.119
 fund that

00:48:01.119 --> 00:48:01.559
 you have,

00:48:02.039 --> 00:48:02.359
 they either

00:48:02.359 --> 00:48:02.799
 get ripped

00:48:02.799 --> 00:48:04.000
 off or

00:48:04.000 --> 00:48:04.980
 it's basically

00:48:04.980 --> 00:48:05.759
 you're not

00:48:05.759 --> 00:48:06.000
 going to

00:48:06.000 --> 00:48:07.119
 carry a

00:48:07.119 --> 00:48:07.839
 single cent

00:48:07.839 --> 00:48:08.219
 with you

00:48:08.219 --> 00:48:08.819
 when we

00:48:08.819 --> 00:48:09.439
 pass on to

00:48:09.439 --> 00:48:09.659
 the next

00:48:09.659 --> 00:48:09.919
 world.

00:48:11.539 --> 00:48:12.399
 But here,

00:48:12.939 --> 00:48:13.539
 Jesus says

00:48:13.539 --> 00:48:14.319
 the fruits

00:48:14.319 --> 00:48:14.819
 that will

00:48:14.819 --> 00:48:15.679
 reap from

00:48:15.679 --> 00:48:16.519
 making himself

00:48:16.519 --> 00:48:17.019
 known will

00:48:17.019 --> 00:48:17.460
 do what?

00:48:18.960 --> 00:48:19.579
 He says

00:48:19.579 --> 00:48:19.879
 if we

00:48:19.879 --> 00:48:20.539
 believe us,

00:48:20.879 --> 00:48:21.440
 we're saving

00:48:21.440 --> 00:48:22.159
 them now.

00:48:23.399 --> 00:48:23.919
 It's like

00:48:23.919 --> 00:48:24.339
 there's a

00:48:24.339 --> 00:48:24.839
 bank account

00:48:24.839 --> 00:48:25.119
 on the

00:48:25.119 --> 00:48:25.599
 other side.

00:48:25.819 --> 00:48:26.199
 It's all

00:48:26.199 --> 00:48:26.639
 going in

00:48:26.639 --> 00:48:26.859
 there.

00:48:26.980 --> 00:48:27.319
 It's all

00:48:27.319 --> 00:48:27.719
 going in

00:48:27.719 --> 00:48:27.980
 there.

00:48:29.659 --> 00:48:30.259
 That is

00:48:30.259 --> 00:48:30.739
 reaping.

00:48:30.980 --> 00:48:31.219
 That is

00:48:31.219 --> 00:48:31.859
 sharing him.

00:48:32.919 --> 00:48:33.219
 And we

00:48:33.219 --> 00:48:33.619
 will get to

00:48:33.619 --> 00:48:34.460
 enjoy every

00:48:34.460 --> 00:48:35.039
 bit of it

00:48:35.039 --> 00:48:36.259
 all the way

00:48:36.259 --> 00:48:37.199
 into eternity.

00:48:39.960 --> 00:48:40.679
 Now that's

00:48:40.679 --> 00:48:41.159
 real super,

00:48:41.279 --> 00:48:41.619
 isn't it?

00:48:41.980 --> 00:48:42.239
 We're not

00:48:42.239 --> 00:48:42.639
 getting ripped

00:48:42.639 --> 00:48:42.899
 off.

00:48:43.739 --> 00:48:44.239
 Christ is

00:48:44.239 --> 00:48:44.779
 saving it all

00:48:44.779 --> 00:48:45.299
 up for us.

00:48:46.639 --> 00:48:47.359
 About three

00:48:47.359 --> 00:48:47.839
 months ago,

00:48:47.960 --> 00:48:48.399
 Dave preached

00:48:48.399 --> 00:48:49.179
 a series on

00:48:49.179 --> 00:48:49.619
 money and

00:48:49.619 --> 00:48:49.899
 wealth.

00:48:50.679 --> 00:48:51.059
 And if you

00:48:51.059 --> 00:48:51.440
 remember,

00:48:51.819 --> 00:48:52.239
 there was one

00:48:52.239 --> 00:48:53.099
 sermon based

00:48:53.099 --> 00:48:54.659
 on Luke 16.

00:48:55.619 --> 00:48:56.179
 There's this

00:48:56.179 --> 00:48:57.119
 unrighteous

00:48:57.119 --> 00:48:58.859
 manager who

00:48:58.859 --> 00:48:59.859
 started taking

00:48:59.859 --> 00:49:01.059
 his boss's

00:49:01.059 --> 00:49:01.379
 money and

00:49:01.379 --> 00:49:01.839
 started forgiving

00:49:01.839 --> 00:49:02.379
 all the debts.

00:49:03.139 --> 00:49:03.460
 In that

00:49:03.460 --> 00:49:03.819
 parable,

00:49:04.719 --> 00:49:05.559
 Jesus explained

00:49:05.559 --> 00:49:08.519
 something about

00:49:08.519 --> 00:49:09.039
 that money.

00:49:10.079 --> 00:49:10.480
 He tells

00:49:10.480 --> 00:49:11.039
 his disciples

00:49:11.039 --> 00:49:12.339
 to use the

00:49:12.339 --> 00:49:12.899
 unrighteous

00:49:12.899 --> 00:49:13.899
 wealth to

00:49:13.899 --> 00:49:14.539
 make friends,

00:49:14.539 --> 00:49:16.059
 so that

00:49:16.059 --> 00:49:16.539
 when the

00:49:16.539 --> 00:49:17.400
 wealth becomes

00:49:17.400 --> 00:49:17.920
 useless,

00:49:18.420 --> 00:49:18.840
 that's after

00:49:18.840 --> 00:49:19.199
 we die,

00:49:19.279 --> 00:49:19.519
 it becomes

00:49:19.519 --> 00:49:19.860
 useless,

00:49:20.279 --> 00:49:20.880
 then what?

00:49:21.599 --> 00:49:22.000
 Then these

00:49:22.000 --> 00:49:23.099
 eternal friends

00:49:23.099 --> 00:49:23.980
 that you made

00:49:23.980 --> 00:49:24.579
 with the wealth

00:49:24.579 --> 00:49:24.920
 that you've

00:49:24.920 --> 00:49:25.440
 had today

00:49:25.440 --> 00:49:26.500
 would welcome

00:49:26.500 --> 00:49:27.420
 you into

00:49:27.420 --> 00:49:28.420
 their eternal

00:49:28.420 --> 00:49:28.880
 homes.

00:49:29.639 --> 00:49:30.119
 So in a

00:49:30.119 --> 00:49:30.400
 nutshell,

00:49:30.980 --> 00:49:31.559
 use what you

00:49:31.559 --> 00:49:32.199
 have today

00:49:32.199 --> 00:49:33.599
 to bring

00:49:33.599 --> 00:49:33.960
 people to

00:49:33.960 --> 00:49:34.539
 Christ so

00:49:34.539 --> 00:49:34.759
 that you

00:49:34.759 --> 00:49:35.179
 have eternal

00:49:35.179 --> 00:49:35.619
 friends.

00:49:36.380 --> 00:49:36.980
 Can you

00:49:36.980 --> 00:49:37.920
 imagine in

00:49:37.920 --> 00:49:38.480
 eternity,

00:49:39.519 --> 00:49:39.779
 you know,

00:49:40.420 --> 00:49:41.099
 you arrive,

00:49:41.099 --> 00:49:42.139
 and all

00:49:42.139 --> 00:49:42.719
 these people

00:49:42.719 --> 00:49:43.440
 flocking at

00:49:43.440 --> 00:49:43.619
 you,

00:49:43.699 --> 00:49:44.039
 like people

00:49:44.039 --> 00:49:44.619
 flock to

00:49:44.619 --> 00:49:45.179
 Taylor Swift

00:49:45.179 --> 00:49:45.679
 or whatever,

00:49:46.480 --> 00:49:46.659
 you know,

00:49:46.679 --> 00:49:46.880
 say,

00:49:47.059 --> 00:49:47.279
 you know,

00:49:47.319 --> 00:49:47.900
 shaking your

00:49:47.900 --> 00:49:48.319
 hands,

00:49:48.500 --> 00:49:49.179
 because why?

00:49:49.480 --> 00:49:49.779
 You have

00:49:49.779 --> 00:49:50.519
 indirectly or

00:49:50.519 --> 00:49:51.279
 directly shared

00:49:51.279 --> 00:49:52.000
 Jesus with

00:49:52.000 --> 00:49:52.179
 them.

00:49:53.860 --> 00:49:54.279
 They're

00:49:54.279 --> 00:49:54.960
 welcoming you

00:49:54.960 --> 00:49:55.199
 to say,

00:49:55.239 --> 00:49:55.339
 hey,

00:49:55.360 --> 00:49:55.659
 can you come

00:49:55.659 --> 00:49:56.079
 to my home

00:49:56.079 --> 00:49:56.460
 for a party?

00:49:56.539 --> 00:49:56.839
 Can you come

00:49:56.839 --> 00:49:57.279
 to my home?

00:49:57.519 --> 00:49:57.860
 They all

00:49:57.860 --> 00:49:58.139
 want you

00:49:58.139 --> 00:49:58.420
 there.

00:50:00.659 --> 00:50:01.059
 They're

00:50:01.059 --> 00:50:01.759
 celebrating you

00:50:01.759 --> 00:50:02.219
 not just

00:50:02.219 --> 00:50:03.920
 because they

00:50:03.920 --> 00:50:04.460
 need something

00:50:04.460 --> 00:50:05.599
 from you or

00:50:05.599 --> 00:50:06.099
 they want to

00:50:06.099 --> 00:50:06.759
 use you,

00:50:07.380 --> 00:50:07.980
 but they're

00:50:07.980 --> 00:50:08.839
 simply grateful,

00:50:08.840 --> 00:50:10.300
 grateful for

00:50:10.300 --> 00:50:10.900
 what Christ

00:50:10.900 --> 00:50:11.260
 has done

00:50:11.260 --> 00:50:11.840
 through you.

00:50:12.380 --> 00:50:12.720
 Can you

00:50:12.720 --> 00:50:13.400
 imagine that?

00:50:14.519 --> 00:50:15.519
 The best part

00:50:15.519 --> 00:50:16.700
 is relative

00:50:16.700 --> 00:50:17.440
 to all the

00:50:17.440 --> 00:50:18.079
 saints that

00:50:18.079 --> 00:50:18.420
 have gone

00:50:18.420 --> 00:50:19.280
 from before

00:50:19.280 --> 00:50:19.700
 us,

00:50:20.120 --> 00:50:20.260
 you know,

00:50:20.340 --> 00:50:21.039
 Abraham who

00:50:21.039 --> 00:50:21.539
 wandered the

00:50:21.539 --> 00:50:22.180
 deserts,

00:50:22.440 --> 00:50:22.800
 Moses,

00:50:23.579 --> 00:50:23.860
 you know,

00:50:23.940 --> 00:50:24.420
 who died in

00:50:24.420 --> 00:50:24.880
 the wilderness,

00:50:25.780 --> 00:50:26.140
 David,

00:50:26.500 --> 00:50:26.800
 you know,

00:50:26.800 --> 00:50:27.400
 suffered all

00:50:27.400 --> 00:50:27.680
 that he

00:50:27.680 --> 00:50:27.960
 had,

00:50:29.400 --> 00:50:30.240
 his sons

00:50:30.240 --> 00:50:30.900
 going berserk

00:50:30.900 --> 00:50:31.260
 on him,

00:50:32.100 --> 00:50:32.519
 and John

00:50:32.519 --> 00:50:33.059
 the Baptist

00:50:33.059 --> 00:50:34.240
 getting his

00:50:34.240 --> 00:50:35.019
 heads chopped

00:50:35.019 --> 00:50:35.340
 off.

00:50:36.400 --> 00:50:36.760
 They were

00:50:36.760 --> 00:50:37.300
 the sowers.

00:50:37.660 --> 00:50:38.059
 They did

00:50:38.059 --> 00:50:38.480
 the hard

00:50:38.480 --> 00:50:38.820
 work.

00:50:39.480 --> 00:50:39.820
 And Jesus

00:50:39.820 --> 00:50:40.160
 said,

00:50:40.300 --> 00:50:40.780
 we didn't

00:50:40.780 --> 00:50:41.059
 have to

00:50:41.059 --> 00:50:41.640
 do that,

00:50:42.000 --> 00:50:42.260
 yet we

00:50:42.260 --> 00:50:42.539
 get to

00:50:42.539 --> 00:50:43.460
 enjoy all

00:50:43.460 --> 00:50:44.120
 the results

00:50:44.120 --> 00:50:44.600
 that they

00:50:44.600 --> 00:50:45.519
 put in,

00:50:45.700 --> 00:50:45.920
 all the

00:50:45.920 --> 00:50:46.440
 work they

00:50:46.440 --> 00:50:46.860
 put in.

00:50:48.120 --> 00:50:48.440
 Shouldn't

00:50:48.440 --> 00:50:49.120
 we rejoice?

00:50:50.120 --> 00:50:50.660
 We should

00:50:50.660 --> 00:50:51.160
 go crazy

00:50:51.160 --> 00:50:51.400
 and be

00:50:51.400 --> 00:50:51.960
 really happy

00:50:51.960 --> 00:50:52.260
 that we

00:50:52.260 --> 00:50:52.559
 have a

00:50:52.559 --> 00:50:53.039
 privilege

00:50:53.039 --> 00:50:53.720
 and that

00:50:53.720 --> 00:50:54.100
 we're just

00:50:54.100 --> 00:50:54.500
 reaping,

00:50:54.519 --> 00:50:54.740
 we're just

00:50:54.740 --> 00:50:55.059
 reaping,

00:50:55.100 --> 00:50:55.320
 we're just

00:50:55.320 --> 00:50:56.300
 reaping for

00:50:56.300 --> 00:50:57.019
 all eternity.

00:50:58.300 --> 00:50:59.079
 I think that

00:50:59.079 --> 00:50:59.579
 should really

00:50:59.579 --> 00:51:00.280
 bring a smile

00:51:00.280 --> 00:51:01.019
 to our face

00:51:01.019 --> 00:51:01.760
 when we

00:51:01.760 --> 00:51:02.500
 present Jesus.

00:51:03.900 --> 00:51:04.780
 The eternal

00:51:04.780 --> 00:51:05.380
 fruits and

00:51:05.380 --> 00:51:06.880
 friends are

00:51:06.880 --> 00:51:07.559
 the only thing

00:51:07.559 --> 00:51:08.220
 we'll ever

00:51:08.219 --> 00:51:09.059
 invest in

00:51:09.059 --> 00:51:09.579
 that will

00:51:09.579 --> 00:51:10.439
 not perish.

00:51:11.619 --> 00:51:12.379
 Jesus is

00:51:12.379 --> 00:51:12.980
 saving it

00:51:12.980 --> 00:51:14.079
 all for

00:51:14.079 --> 00:51:14.359
 us.

00:51:15.039 --> 00:51:15.339
 Nothing

00:51:15.339 --> 00:51:15.699
 will be

00:51:15.699 --> 00:51:16.039
 wasted.

00:51:16.500 --> 00:51:16.859
 We'll get

00:51:16.859 --> 00:51:17.419
 to enjoy

00:51:17.419 --> 00:51:18.139
 every bit

00:51:18.139 --> 00:51:18.480
 of it.

00:51:19.059 --> 00:51:19.439
 We can

00:51:19.439 --> 00:51:20.079
 waste time

00:51:20.079 --> 00:51:20.480
 today,

00:51:21.359 --> 00:51:22.500
 just focusing

00:51:22.500 --> 00:51:22.939
 on making

00:51:22.939 --> 00:51:23.679
 money or

00:51:23.679 --> 00:51:23.959
 making

00:51:23.959 --> 00:51:24.299
 ourselves

00:51:24.299 --> 00:51:25.539
 famous or

00:51:25.539 --> 00:51:25.799
 making

00:51:25.799 --> 00:51:26.259
 whatever,

00:51:26.619 --> 00:51:26.839
 making

00:51:26.839 --> 00:51:27.359
 ourselves feel

00:51:27.359 --> 00:51:27.919
 good even,

00:51:28.599 --> 00:51:29.379
 but we do

00:51:29.379 --> 00:51:30.159
 not waste a

00:51:30.159 --> 00:51:30.819
 single thing

00:51:30.819 --> 00:51:31.779
 making Jesus

00:51:31.779 --> 00:51:32.159
 known,

00:51:33.199 --> 00:51:34.419
 for which we

00:51:34.419 --> 00:51:35.379
 must rejoice.

00:51:35.380 --> 00:51:36.559
 so here

00:51:36.559 --> 00:51:36.940
 we have

00:51:36.940 --> 00:51:37.180
 it.

00:51:38.619 --> 00:51:39.500
 Two points.

00:51:40.579 --> 00:51:40.940
 Why make

00:51:40.940 --> 00:51:41.579
 Jesus known

00:51:41.579 --> 00:51:42.640
 and how

00:51:42.640 --> 00:51:43.000
 should we

00:51:43.000 --> 00:51:43.480
 make Jesus

00:51:43.480 --> 00:51:43.780
 known?

00:51:45.079 --> 00:51:45.980
 Question is,

00:51:46.440 --> 00:51:46.900
 what we are

00:51:46.900 --> 00:51:47.519
 going to do

00:51:47.519 --> 00:51:48.200
 with this

00:51:48.200 --> 00:51:49.460
 as a church

00:51:49.460 --> 00:51:49.920
 community

00:51:49.920 --> 00:51:50.820
 and also

00:51:50.820 --> 00:51:51.380
 individually.

00:51:54.119 --> 00:51:54.860
 In some

00:51:54.860 --> 00:51:55.599
 people's mind,

00:51:56.400 --> 00:51:56.840
 the church

00:51:56.840 --> 00:51:57.480
 is like a

00:51:57.480 --> 00:51:58.019
 cruise ship,

00:51:58.720 --> 00:51:59.440
 but to

00:51:59.440 --> 00:51:59.880
 others,

00:52:00.380 --> 00:52:00.920
 it's a

00:52:00.920 --> 00:52:01.460
 battleship.

00:52:01.460 --> 00:52:03.579
 one day

00:52:03.579 --> 00:52:04.559
 when you

00:52:04.559 --> 00:52:04.920
 get off

00:52:04.920 --> 00:52:05.340
 the ship,

00:52:06.360 --> 00:52:06.740
 would you

00:52:06.740 --> 00:52:07.099
 be a

00:52:07.099 --> 00:52:07.539
 tourist

00:52:07.539 --> 00:52:08.659
 who has

00:52:08.659 --> 00:52:09.320
 enjoyed the

00:52:09.320 --> 00:52:09.659
 ride,

00:52:10.139 --> 00:52:10.900
 or would

00:52:10.900 --> 00:52:11.840
 you be

00:52:11.840 --> 00:52:12.420
 an officer

00:52:12.420 --> 00:52:13.699
 who has

00:52:13.699 --> 00:52:14.340
 completed your

00:52:14.340 --> 00:52:15.480
 mission and

00:52:15.480 --> 00:52:16.480
 ready to

00:52:16.480 --> 00:52:17.380
 be honored

00:52:17.380 --> 00:52:17.920
 by your

00:52:17.920 --> 00:52:18.240
 captain?

00:52:19.659 --> 00:52:20.420
 Which one

00:52:20.420 --> 00:52:20.699
 would you

00:52:20.699 --> 00:52:20.920
 be?

00:52:22.440 --> 00:52:23.019
 Let's

00:52:23.019 --> 00:52:23.240
 pray.

00:52:28.079 --> 00:52:28.639
 Our

00:52:28.639 --> 00:52:28.900
 Heavenly

00:52:28.900 --> 00:52:29.280
 Father,

00:52:29.280 --> 00:52:32.700
 thank you

00:52:32.700 --> 00:52:33.160
 that you've

00:52:33.160 --> 00:52:33.760
 given yourself

00:52:33.760 --> 00:52:34.320
 to us.

00:52:36.180 --> 00:52:36.800
 Thank you

00:52:36.800 --> 00:52:37.080
 that you

00:52:37.080 --> 00:52:37.600
 let your

00:52:37.600 --> 00:52:38.260
 son Jesus

00:52:38.260 --> 00:52:40.260
 thirst so

00:52:40.260 --> 00:52:40.580
 that we

00:52:40.580 --> 00:52:41.060
 won't have

00:52:41.060 --> 00:52:42.260
 to for

00:52:42.260 --> 00:52:42.720
 now and

00:52:42.720 --> 00:52:43.480
 all eternity.

00:52:45.540 --> 00:52:46.060
 Father,

00:52:46.140 --> 00:52:46.580
 we say we

00:52:46.580 --> 00:52:47.300
 believe that,

00:52:48.519 --> 00:52:49.240
 yet sometimes

00:52:49.240 --> 00:52:50.260
 our

00:52:50.260 --> 00:52:50.920
 excitement

00:52:50.920 --> 00:52:51.480
 don't show

00:52:51.480 --> 00:52:51.680
 it.

00:52:53.600 --> 00:52:54.260
 So may

00:52:54.260 --> 00:52:54.640
 your Holy

00:52:54.640 --> 00:52:55.160
 Spirit,

00:52:56.080 --> 00:52:56.519
 this living

00:52:56.519 --> 00:52:56.900
 water,

00:52:58.540 --> 00:52:58.940
 really

00:52:58.940 --> 00:52:59.500
 well up

00:52:59.500 --> 00:53:00.400
 within us.

00:53:01.440 --> 00:53:02.039
 Let us

00:53:02.039 --> 00:53:02.519
 experience

00:53:02.519 --> 00:53:03.000
 your love.

00:53:04.119 --> 00:53:04.500
 Let us

00:53:04.500 --> 00:53:05.019
 enjoy your

00:53:05.019 --> 00:53:05.500
 presence.

00:53:06.280 --> 00:53:06.820
 So must

00:53:06.820 --> 00:53:07.179
 show that

00:53:07.179 --> 00:53:07.679
 it really

00:53:07.679 --> 00:53:08.460
 overflows

00:53:08.460 --> 00:53:09.980
 onto like

00:53:09.980 --> 00:53:10.360
 a river

00:53:10.360 --> 00:53:11.380
 that it

00:53:11.380 --> 00:53:11.679
 can be

00:53:11.679 --> 00:53:12.280
 poured out

00:53:12.280 --> 00:53:13.200
 every single

00:53:13.200 --> 00:53:14.519
 day joyfully

00:53:14.519 --> 00:53:15.720
 amongst our

00:53:15.720 --> 00:53:17.519
 neighbors so

00:53:17.519 --> 00:53:17.940
 that we can

00:53:17.940 --> 00:53:18.320
 say we

00:53:18.320 --> 00:53:18.860
 really love

00:53:18.860 --> 00:53:19.079
 them.

00:53:20.400 --> 00:53:20.800
 Help us

00:53:20.800 --> 00:53:21.179
 care.

00:53:22.260 --> 00:53:22.539
 Help us

00:53:22.539 --> 00:53:22.800
 see that

00:53:22.800 --> 00:53:23.179
 people are

00:53:23.179 --> 00:53:23.639
 dying right

00:53:23.639 --> 00:53:23.980
 in front

00:53:23.980 --> 00:53:24.400
 of us.

00:53:25.860 --> 00:53:26.539
 Help us

00:53:26.539 --> 00:53:27.220
 prioritize

00:53:27.219 --> 00:53:30.839
 making

00:53:30.839 --> 00:53:31.219
 your son

00:53:31.219 --> 00:53:31.599
 known

00:53:31.599 --> 00:53:32.639
 as an

00:53:32.639 --> 00:53:33.679
 act of

00:53:33.679 --> 00:53:34.000
 worship.

00:53:35.500 --> 00:53:36.139
 And you

00:53:36.139 --> 00:53:36.439
 say that

00:53:36.439 --> 00:53:36.739
 we don't

00:53:36.739 --> 00:53:37.459
 get because

00:53:37.459 --> 00:53:37.779
 we don't

00:53:37.779 --> 00:53:38.159
 ask.

00:53:39.159 --> 00:53:39.739
 So remind

00:53:39.739 --> 00:53:40.239
 us to

00:53:40.239 --> 00:53:40.599
 ask.

00:53:41.659 --> 00:53:42.299
 Help our

00:53:42.299 --> 00:53:42.679
 brothers and

00:53:42.679 --> 00:53:44.579
 sisters to

00:53:44.579 --> 00:53:45.099
 forget about

00:53:45.099 --> 00:53:45.659
 this official

00:53:45.659 --> 00:53:46.199
 time that we

00:53:46.199 --> 00:53:46.719
 have together.

00:53:47.419 --> 00:53:48.359
 But not forget

00:53:48.359 --> 00:53:48.899
 about it,

00:53:49.559 --> 00:53:49.939
 but we

00:53:49.939 --> 00:53:50.719
 really use

00:53:50.719 --> 00:53:51.299
 our lives,

00:53:51.500 --> 00:53:51.899
 our everyday

00:53:51.899 --> 00:53:52.359
 lives,

00:53:52.360 --> 00:53:53.980
 to be

00:53:53.980 --> 00:53:54.400
 together,

00:53:54.780 --> 00:53:55.420
 to pray,

00:53:56.300 --> 00:53:57.280
 to beg you

00:53:57.280 --> 00:53:57.860
 to pour out

00:53:57.860 --> 00:53:58.320

00:53:58.320 --> 00:53:59.680

00:54:00.400 --> 00:54:01.019
 merciful God.

00:54:01.559 --> 00:54:02.099
 You deserve

00:54:02.099 --> 00:54:03.440
 to be made

00:54:03.440 --> 00:54:05.000
 known and

00:54:14.960 --> 00:54:15.519
 your churches

00:54:15.519 --> 00:54:17.099
 so that your

00:54:17.099 --> 00:54:17.760

00:54:17.760 --> 00:54:18.019
 greatly

00:54:18.019 --> 00:54:19.280
 glorified.
