00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.640
 Good morning, everyone.

00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:07.379
 We need to cut the Bible reading short because I needed some more time to preach this morning.

00:00:09.500 --> 00:00:10.480
 I've been away.

00:00:12.580 --> 00:00:15.120
 This time, in fact, this time last week I was in Dubai.

00:00:16.059 --> 00:00:18.800
 It's a remarkable city if you've ever been there.

00:00:19.300 --> 00:00:21.420
 30 years ago, Dubai was a desert.

00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:25.640
 I mean, it still is, but it's now this city built on a desert.

00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:32.280
 And as you come into land, it's like sand, sand, sand, sand, sand, and then this city.

00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:35.500
 It's an amazing place.

00:00:36.179 --> 00:00:38.380
 It is a picture of success.

00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:40.659
 Three and a half million people live there now.

00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:47.939
 It has 13 billionaires, 202 centimillionaires, and 68,000 millionaires.

00:00:49.380 --> 00:00:54.880
 In the space of four minutes, I saw four Lamborghinis drive past me.

00:00:56.420 --> 00:01:01.579
 90% of the population are expats from all over the world seeking their fortune.

00:01:02.579 --> 00:01:08.159
 If you lose your job in Dubai and you're an expat, you've got 28 days to depart the country.

00:01:08.659 --> 00:01:09.180
 That's it.

00:01:09.299 --> 00:01:11.760
 They don't have any hangers on there at all.

00:01:13.540 --> 00:01:14.659
 So how would you do it?

00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:16.000
 That's how Dubai did it.

00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:16.700
 How would you do it?

00:01:16.700 --> 00:01:20.560
 Well, what I mean by that is how would you plan your success?

00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:30.820
 Imagine you gather some experts into the room, a bunch of friends, and with the goal to put

00:01:30.819 --> 00:01:35.459
 together a strategic plan for a successful life for you.

00:01:37.739 --> 00:01:40.099
 That you would leave the world a better place.

00:01:40.219 --> 00:01:43.280
 How would you, what would your strategic plan include?

00:01:44.559 --> 00:01:45.059
 There you go.

00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:46.159
 I'm going to give you one minute.

00:01:46.299 --> 00:01:48.659
 Turn to the people around you and come up with a list.

00:01:48.659 --> 00:02:18.639
 Thank you.

00:02:18.659 --> 00:02:36.099
 All right.

00:02:36.099 --> 00:02:36.519
 That'll do.

00:02:37.460 --> 00:02:39.359
 The strategic plan is amongst us.

00:02:39.579 --> 00:02:43.680
 Struggle to do that without a whiteboard and some sticky notes.

00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:47.060
 But the rest of us, hopefully you come up with something.

00:02:47.359 --> 00:02:51.879
 If you've just joined us, you've just tuned in, we are working our way through the Old

00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:52.819
 Testament book of Isaiah.

00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:54.740
 It's about 800 years before Jesus.

00:02:54.939 --> 00:02:56.699
 So we're winding history back a fair bit.

00:02:56.699 --> 00:03:08.159
 Isaiah begins with God bringing a message of judgment to his fruitless and faithless people

00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:12.479
 because of their rebellion against him and because of the way that they have been treating

00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:13.120
 one another.

00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:21.420
 They have existed in a life of comfort and ease and wealth and they have drifted for God and

00:03:21.420 --> 00:03:22.980
 his priorities in life.

00:03:23.980 --> 00:03:29.379
 And this judgment can only be averted if they repent of their sin.

00:03:29.379 --> 00:03:37.079
 And we see that in Isaiah 6 when Isaiah himself is confronted with the holiness and the glory of God.

00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:43.560
 Amid the judgment on a faithless people, there is a promise of mercy.

00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:51.859
 As we see here, God raises up a new king who will lead with wisdom and bring justice and hope.

00:03:51.860 --> 00:03:56.420
 But there are some surprises with God's king.

00:03:57.180 --> 00:03:58.660
 He's an unexpected king.

00:03:59.700 --> 00:04:04.180
 And that theme runs throughout Isaiah, but we see glimpses of it here.

00:04:04.320 --> 00:04:08.120
 So if you've got the St. Paul's app in front of you, you'll notice there's four points today.

00:04:08.300 --> 00:04:12.500
 Justice of the king, wisdom of the king, identity of the king, and follow the king.

00:04:12.660 --> 00:04:17.400
 So if you've got the app, that'll be a way to keep track of where we're up to.

00:04:17.699 --> 00:04:19.560
 So first of all, the justice of the king.

00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:24.360
 Look at verse 4 in Isaiah 11 that was just read out to us.

00:04:24.699 --> 00:04:24.899
 It says,

00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:42.340
 When it says in verse 4,

00:04:42.339 --> 00:04:48.339
 He will judge the needy, it doesn't mean there that he will condemn the needy.

00:04:49.060 --> 00:04:55.620
 It literally means he will make things just for the needy and for the poor.

00:04:55.959 --> 00:05:03.500
 The poor in verse 4 means not just economically poor, but the downtrodden, the oppressed of the world,

00:05:03.859 --> 00:05:05.699
 people who are powerless.

00:05:05.699 --> 00:05:09.699
 When it says he will give decisions for the poor of the earth,

00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:16.099
 it means that he will use his power to stand in for the poor and the oppressed

00:05:16.099 --> 00:05:20.920
 and make decisions on behalf of the poor and the oppressed, the downtrodden.

00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:28.480
 He will use his power and authority for the sake, if you like, of the underlings,

00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:30.779
 the minority, the oppressed, the poor.

00:05:30.779 --> 00:05:36.899
 Now we could be tempted to view here, just on a surface reading of this verse,

00:05:37.079 --> 00:05:40.779
 to think that this king of God, God's king,

00:05:41.219 --> 00:05:45.639
 is little more than a great civil servant crusading for social justice.

00:05:46.719 --> 00:05:52.779
 What overturns that view is verses 6 to 8.

00:05:52.779 --> 00:06:22.119
 What those verses are saying is that the promised king

00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:29.100
 is going to do a whole lot more than just make the world a better place for some.

00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:33.959
 He's not just about social justice.

00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:42.180
 This king is going to rid the world of death, disease, violence, suffering, fear.

00:06:42.459 --> 00:06:44.540
 He's going to make everything right.

00:06:44.540 --> 00:06:52.160
 He's going to bring ultimate reconciliation, renewal and rest to the whole created order.

00:06:54.020 --> 00:06:58.020
 Now if these verses at all seem familiar to you,

00:06:58.140 --> 00:07:00.540
 he's like, hang on a minute, I've read this somewhere before.

00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:10.580
 It's probably because Isaiah 11 is read throughout the world every year at Christmas time.

00:07:10.579 --> 00:07:18.899
 The Christmas story is the God's king of Isaiah 11,

00:07:18.899 --> 00:07:22.399
 who will identify with the poor and make everything right,

00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:24.599
 is in fact Jesus of Nazareth.

00:07:25.339 --> 00:07:32.259
 The Christmas story reveals the extent to which God's king would in fact identify

00:07:32.259 --> 00:07:34.579
 with the poor and the oppressed.

00:07:34.579 --> 00:07:40.800
 Christmas declares that God the son, the Messiah, the Christ,

00:07:40.979 --> 00:07:45.419
 God's king here in Isaiah 11, was born into a poor family.

00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:53.599
 He did not enter the world as a philosopher or as a general leading a great army,

00:07:54.159 --> 00:07:56.879
 but as the son of a carpenter.

00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:00.360
 And he worked as a carpenter himself.

00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:04.439
 His mother was a peasant girl from a poor village, an obscure village.

00:08:04.579 --> 00:08:11.959
 His ministry was mostly directed towards the poor, the oppressed, the marginalized of society,

00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:17.339
 as he preached the gospel, raised the dead and healed the sick and lifted the downtrodden.

00:08:20.539 --> 00:08:29.860
 At the very least, to follow Jesus means that his priorities become our priorities.

00:08:29.860 --> 00:08:42.259
 However, we do not only need to be concerned about the poor and the oppressed in our world right now,

00:08:42.300 --> 00:08:45.200
 as those who have allegiance to Jesus,

00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:48.360
 but we need to do it up close.

00:08:50.539 --> 00:08:55.340
 Jesus didn't commute in to help the poor and the oppressed.

00:08:55.340 --> 00:09:01.040
 In a non-patronizing way, the church,

00:09:03.139 --> 00:09:07.000
 but I would argue more specifically individual Christians,

00:09:07.860 --> 00:09:13.940
 need to figure out how to come alongside and walk close with the poor and the oppressed of our world.

00:09:13.940 --> 00:09:20.280
 At the very least, the life and the ministry of Jesus points us in that direction.

00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:28.600
 The second thing we see here about God's king is his wisdom.

00:09:29.340 --> 00:09:30.320
 Have a look at verse 2.

00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:36.140
 The spirit of the Lord will rest on him, the spirit of wisdom and of understanding,

00:09:36.360 --> 00:09:41.620
 the spirit of counsel and of might, the spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord,

00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:45.600
 and he will delight in the fear of the Lord.

00:09:46.500 --> 00:09:50.140
 The word counsel there is the same idea as wisdom.

00:09:50.139 --> 00:09:55.080
 That is, this king, we are told, has wisdom and might.

00:09:56.080 --> 00:10:03.159
 That simply means that he not only has the power to do what needs to be done,

00:10:03.620 --> 00:10:07.580
 but he knows exactly what needs to be done

00:10:07.580 --> 00:10:11.559
 and the best way to achieve what needs to be done.

00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:17.299
 And then in verse 3, it describes his wisdom in a surprising way.

00:10:17.299 --> 00:10:23.899
 It says, he will not judge by what he sees with his eyes

00:10:23.899 --> 00:10:27.959
 or decides by what he hears with his ears.

00:10:30.819 --> 00:10:37.479
 His justice and his wisdom come together in a very surprising way.

00:10:38.819 --> 00:10:40.759
 That is, he doesn't act.

00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:45.319
 He doesn't decide the way we act and we decide.

00:10:47.299 --> 00:10:50.519
 That is, by mere outward appearance.

00:10:52.079 --> 00:10:54.779
 He doesn't look at the surface of things.

00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:59.279
 He sees things the way they actually are.

00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:06.319
 Another way of saying that is that the wisdom of God's king here

00:11:06.319 --> 00:11:09.079
 turns the wisdom of the world on its head.

00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:16.100
 The wisdom of God's king is a violation of worldly wisdom.

00:11:17.460 --> 00:11:20.980
 God's king is going to bring justice and reconciliation,

00:11:21.879 --> 00:11:24.900
 renewal and rest for all of God's people

00:11:24.900 --> 00:11:29.180
 in an orderly, remade world,

00:11:29.740 --> 00:11:31.920
 but not as we would expect him to.

00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:37.099
 I asked you a couple of minutes ago,

00:11:37.199 --> 00:11:40.399
 what was your strategy to become successful

00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:43.879
 to make an impact in this world for generations to come?

00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:47.179
 What was in your list?

00:11:47.179 --> 00:11:50.979
 I wonder,

00:11:51.459 --> 00:11:55.599
 did it include being born in a backwater town in a feed trough?

00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:01.819
 Did it include staying away from major cultural and commercial centres

00:12:01.819 --> 00:12:03.500
 and spending your time in little villages?

00:12:04.899 --> 00:12:07.819
 Did it include staying out of every network

00:12:07.819 --> 00:12:10.539
 of political, social and academic power?

00:12:10.539 --> 00:12:12.539
 In fact,

00:12:12.659 --> 00:12:16.139
 did it include making sure that you knew no one in any of those networks?

00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:24.259
 Did it include getting executed in disgrace at a young age,

00:12:24.899 --> 00:12:26.959
 just as you started to become known?

00:12:28.719 --> 00:12:32.259
 Was any of that in your strategic plan to change the world?

00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:38.039
 He turns the wisdom of this world on its head.

00:12:40.539 --> 00:12:43.539
 This is the wisdom of God.

00:12:46.500 --> 00:12:51.179
 2,000 years since that plan was put into effect,

00:12:51.759 --> 00:12:55.879
 Jesus is still the most influential person who has ever lived.

00:12:57.240 --> 00:13:00.159
 A person of impeccable character

00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:02.699
 that today you still can't pull him apart.

00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:09.419
 One quarter of this world centre their entire lives on him.

00:13:10.539 --> 00:13:16.740
 His teaching is seen as the single most influential body of thought

00:13:16.740 --> 00:13:18.339
 in the history of humanity.

00:13:20.419 --> 00:13:22.939
 Even a few major civilisations

00:13:22.939 --> 00:13:28.199
 have their existence based solely on his person and his teaching.

00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:32.140
 That is way more successful

00:13:32.140 --> 00:13:35.240
 than Cristiano Ronaldo,

00:13:36.040 --> 00:13:38.680
 who is the world's biggest social media influencer

00:13:38.680 --> 00:13:42.300
 with 573 million followers on Instagram.

00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:45.580
 Within 100 years, he'll be forgotten,

00:13:46.400 --> 00:13:48.140
 except by a few soccer tragics.

00:13:51.140 --> 00:13:52.140
 That's nothing.

00:13:52.139 --> 00:14:00.759
 The wisdom of God makes the wisdom of this world look foolish.

00:14:01.220 --> 00:14:02.519
 And in the wisdom of the world,

00:14:02.620 --> 00:14:04.659
 the wisdom of God looks foolish.

00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:09.519
 Now, there's another way here

00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:12.039
 that the wisdom of God's king

00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:13.860
 turns our wisdom on its head.

00:14:13.860 --> 00:14:19.480
 It has to do with his miraculous work in the world.

00:14:21.879 --> 00:14:23.720
 There is a miracle in these verses,

00:14:23.820 --> 00:14:25.240
 and I want to pick it up a little bit later.

00:14:26.860 --> 00:14:27.639
 But let me just say,

00:14:27.800 --> 00:14:31.200
 miracles cut into another paradigm

00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:32.779
 of the wisdom of our world.

00:14:32.779 --> 00:14:36.059
 It makes our society

00:14:36.059 --> 00:14:38.519
 think that Christianity

00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:40.799
 and anything religious and supernatural

00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:41.539
 or spiritual

00:14:41.539 --> 00:14:43.559
 just makes it look stupid.

00:14:43.819 --> 00:14:45.519
 That's the wisdom of our world.

00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:48.860
 One of the paradigms of our society

00:14:48.860 --> 00:14:51.059
 is that everything has to have

00:14:51.059 --> 00:14:52.539
 a scientific explanation,

00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:55.559
 which means ultimately the miracles can't happen.

00:14:56.819 --> 00:14:58.339
 The supernatural doesn't exist.

00:14:58.340 --> 00:15:02.800
 Many parts of the Christian church

00:15:02.800 --> 00:15:04.019
 in the Western world

00:15:04.019 --> 00:15:08.259
 have responded to our world

00:15:08.259 --> 00:15:09.660
 and the wisdom of our world

00:15:09.660 --> 00:15:13.120
 in an attempt to align itself

00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:14.580
 and to win over the world

00:15:14.580 --> 00:15:16.320
 by, in fact, downplaying

00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:19.660
 the supernatural in the Bible and in life.

00:15:20.280 --> 00:15:22.420
 And the Western church has done this

00:15:22.420 --> 00:15:25.240
 a bit over 100 years now

00:15:25.240 --> 00:15:28.320
 that has been roaring in the Western church.

00:15:28.340 --> 00:15:32.720
 Instead, what the Western church

00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:33.780
 has wanted to do

00:15:33.780 --> 00:15:36.180
 is highlight the ethical principles

00:15:36.180 --> 00:15:38.720
 of the Bible and the Christian faith,

00:15:39.160 --> 00:15:41.440
 emphasizing love and social justice

00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:43.460
 over the supernatural work of God.

00:15:46.160 --> 00:15:48.120
 What's interesting is

00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:49.480
 that the churches

00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:52.320
 that have embraced the wisdom of this world

00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:55.860
 and rejected the supernatural of God,

00:15:55.960 --> 00:15:57.280
 His work in this world,

00:15:57.279 --> 00:15:59.139
 are in steep decline.

00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:02.039
 Steep decline.

00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:05.959
 But supernatural Christianity

00:16:05.959 --> 00:16:08.360
 is exploding in the world.

00:16:10.299 --> 00:16:11.959
 The Christian faith has grown

00:16:11.959 --> 00:16:14.039
 from 5% Christian

00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:16.259
 to 50% Christian

00:16:16.259 --> 00:16:17.860
 in 100 years in Africa.

00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:22.419
 South Korea went from 0%

00:16:22.419 --> 00:16:24.299
 to 40% Christian

00:16:24.299 --> 00:16:26.139
 in less than 100 years.

00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:27.459
 The same trajectory

00:16:27.459 --> 00:16:29.199
 is happening in China right now.

00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:30.879
 God's wisdom and work

00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:31.979
 is exploding

00:16:31.979 --> 00:16:33.699
 in the supernatural world.

00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:37.679
 Let me tell you one story

00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:40.319
 from my time in Africa recently.

00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:43.379
 Pastor from Northern Sudan.

00:16:43.379 --> 00:16:44.840
 If you want to be a Christian,

00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:46.799
 being a Christian in Northern Sudan

00:16:46.799 --> 00:16:48.460
 is very hard.

00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:50.259
 So this is a pastor

00:16:50.259 --> 00:16:51.240
 in Northern Sudan

00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:54.139
 who told of growing up

00:16:54.139 --> 00:16:55.000
 with two things

00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:56.019
 that deeply shaped

00:16:56.019 --> 00:16:57.399
 his entire existence.

00:16:58.399 --> 00:16:59.399
 The Quran

00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:01.240
 in one hand

00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:02.240
 Christian

00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:03.500
 and a deep hatred

00:17:03.500 --> 00:17:03.980
 from anyone

00:17:03.980 --> 00:17:05.079
 from Southern Sudan

00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:06.240
 and especially Christians

00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:07.299
 from Southern Sudan.

00:17:07.819 --> 00:17:09.819
 A deep, deep, deep hatred.

00:17:12.019 --> 00:17:14.120
 He was a radicalised Muslim.

00:17:15.579 --> 00:17:16.099
 One day

00:17:16.099 --> 00:17:16.880
 a new student

00:17:16.880 --> 00:17:18.460
 joined his school.

00:17:20.059 --> 00:17:20.740
 He was a Christian

00:17:20.740 --> 00:17:21.779
 from Southern Sudan.

00:17:21.779 --> 00:17:25.200
 And so with his friends

00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:26.960
 they abducted him.

00:17:28.039 --> 00:17:29.240
 They beat him.

00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:30.639
 They stabbed him.

00:17:30.740 --> 00:17:31.700
 They stole a car.

00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:33.000
 They ran over him.

00:17:34.099 --> 00:17:34.899
 They killed him

00:17:34.899 --> 00:17:36.920
 and dumped his body

00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:38.539
 in a remote area

00:17:38.539 --> 00:17:39.359
 in the bush.

00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:41.539
 Such was the depth

00:17:41.539 --> 00:17:42.180
 of his hatred

00:17:42.180 --> 00:17:43.339
 even as a school kid.

00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:47.299
 Later in life

00:17:47.299 --> 00:17:50.500
 as still as a Muslim

00:17:50.500 --> 00:17:52.420
 a relative of his

00:17:52.420 --> 00:17:53.200
 was near death

00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:54.019
 in hospital.

00:17:55.180 --> 00:17:56.420
 Like this relative

00:17:56.420 --> 00:17:57.279
 had been dying

00:17:57.279 --> 00:17:57.980
 for some time

00:17:57.980 --> 00:17:58.420
 and they were

00:17:58.420 --> 00:18:00.119
 it was the end

00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:00.960
 the family were told

00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:01.460
 to gather.

00:18:02.220 --> 00:18:03.599
 Your relative is dying.

00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:04.119
 They're there.

00:18:04.220 --> 00:18:04.759
 They're unconscious

00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:05.819
 in the hospital bed.

00:18:05.920 --> 00:18:07.200
 The family has gathered around.

00:18:07.539 --> 00:18:08.220
 There's nothing more

00:18:08.220 --> 00:18:08.940
 they can do.

00:18:09.259 --> 00:18:09.680
 And they said

00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:10.779
 in the midst of that scene

00:18:10.779 --> 00:18:11.940
 two Christian missionaries

00:18:11.940 --> 00:18:12.519
 walked in.

00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:15.940
 Before they knew it

00:18:15.940 --> 00:18:17.099
 they laid hands

00:18:17.099 --> 00:18:18.339
 on our relative

00:18:18.339 --> 00:18:19.000
 and prayed.

00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:21.099
 and as soon

00:18:21.099 --> 00:18:21.859
 as they said

00:18:21.859 --> 00:18:22.640
 amen

00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:24.160
 our relative

00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:25.299
 sat up in bed

00:18:25.299 --> 00:18:27.099
 and said

00:18:27.099 --> 00:18:28.819
 what's going on?

00:18:30.019 --> 00:18:31.000
 Pulled all the tubes

00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:31.359
 out

00:18:31.359 --> 00:18:32.200
 and walked out

00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:32.779
 of hospital.

00:18:35.420 --> 00:18:36.339
 He said

00:18:36.339 --> 00:18:36.619
 that

00:18:36.619 --> 00:18:38.099
 profoundly

00:18:38.099 --> 00:18:39.839
 impacted my life

00:18:39.839 --> 00:18:41.880
 but not immediately.

00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:43.920
 Ended up

00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:44.920
 at university

00:18:44.920 --> 00:18:47.880
 became a Christian

00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:48.920
 at university

00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:49.560
 went home

00:18:49.560 --> 00:18:50.340
 told his parents

00:18:50.340 --> 00:18:50.920
 that he's now

00:18:50.920 --> 00:18:51.480
 a Christian

00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:53.440
 and they disowned him.

00:18:56.539 --> 00:18:57.779
 They disowned him.

00:18:58.960 --> 00:19:00.480
 And when they disowned you

00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:01.920
 as a Muslim

00:19:01.920 --> 00:19:03.539
 in northern Sudan

00:19:03.539 --> 00:19:05.220
 they hold a funeral

00:19:05.220 --> 00:19:05.920
 for you.

00:19:07.420 --> 00:19:08.460
 Dug a hole out

00:19:08.460 --> 00:19:09.100
 in the cemetery.

00:19:09.759 --> 00:19:10.500
 They have a coffin

00:19:10.500 --> 00:19:11.320
 that they parade

00:19:11.320 --> 00:19:12.539
 through the streets.

00:19:12.539 --> 00:19:13.879
 There's wailing

00:19:13.879 --> 00:19:14.539
 and mourning

00:19:14.539 --> 00:19:16.819
 and they bury you.

00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:19.420
 He said

00:19:19.420 --> 00:19:20.399
 he found himself

00:19:20.399 --> 00:19:24.420
 going to his family

00:19:24.420 --> 00:19:25.119
 and saying

00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:26.819
 trying to convince them

00:19:26.819 --> 00:19:28.059
 that Christ

00:19:28.059 --> 00:19:28.720
 is the way

00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:29.339
 and they said

00:19:29.339 --> 00:19:30.259
 you're dead to us

00:19:30.259 --> 00:19:31.319
 you don't exist.

00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:33.759
 And then he found himself

00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:35.480
 early one evening

00:19:35.480 --> 00:19:38.279
 by standing

00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:39.359
 in the cemetery

00:19:39.359 --> 00:19:40.619
 looking at his grave.

00:19:40.619 --> 00:19:42.539
 tombstone there

00:19:42.539 --> 00:19:43.559
 date of birth

00:19:43.559 --> 00:19:44.299
 date of death

00:19:44.299 --> 00:19:45.579
 he's there

00:19:45.579 --> 00:19:46.279
 looking at it

00:19:46.279 --> 00:19:47.939
 and as he's standing

00:19:47.939 --> 00:19:48.799
 there looking at it

00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:50.119
 he felt a hand

00:19:50.119 --> 00:19:50.919
 on his shoulder

00:19:50.919 --> 00:19:52.979
 he looks around

00:19:52.979 --> 00:19:53.879
 and no one's there

00:19:53.879 --> 00:19:54.879
 and he heard a voice

00:19:54.879 --> 00:19:56.039
 audibly say to him

00:19:56.039 --> 00:19:58.259
 my tomb is empty

00:19:58.259 --> 00:20:00.119
 and so is yours.

00:20:02.699 --> 00:20:03.639
 Preach the gospel.

00:20:05.319 --> 00:20:05.599
 He said

00:20:05.599 --> 00:20:06.219
 for that moment

00:20:06.219 --> 00:20:06.979
 that's what I did

00:20:06.979 --> 00:20:08.659
 I preached the gospel

00:20:08.660 --> 00:20:09.860
 became a pastor

00:20:09.860 --> 00:20:10.720
 church planter

00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:11.259
 evangelist

00:20:11.259 --> 00:20:12.320
 he's still doing that

00:20:12.320 --> 00:20:13.740
 daily now

00:20:13.740 --> 00:20:14.779
 right now

00:20:14.779 --> 00:20:16.820
 in Sudan

00:20:16.820 --> 00:20:18.779
 a great fear

00:20:18.779 --> 00:20:19.400
 of his life

00:20:19.400 --> 00:20:20.560
 well he doesn't fear

00:20:20.560 --> 00:20:20.940
 his life

00:20:20.940 --> 00:20:22.500
 but a great danger

00:20:22.500 --> 00:20:23.300
 to his existence

00:20:23.300 --> 00:20:24.259
 right now.

00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:26.920
 He said

00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:27.680
 he was preaching

00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:29.640
 at this event

00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:30.560
 calling people

00:20:30.560 --> 00:20:31.240
 to respond

00:20:31.240 --> 00:20:32.000
 to Christ

00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:33.980
 and as he did

00:20:33.980 --> 00:20:34.860
 he came down the front

00:20:34.860 --> 00:20:35.680
 asked people to come

00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:36.220
 and he's praying

00:20:36.220 --> 00:20:36.600
 for them

00:20:36.600 --> 00:20:37.840
 they would receive Christ

00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:38.639
 he says

00:20:38.639 --> 00:20:39.339
 a man there

00:20:39.339 --> 00:20:40.139
 came to him

00:20:40.139 --> 00:20:40.919
 he said

00:20:40.919 --> 00:20:41.480
 well just remember

00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:42.220
 it so vividly

00:20:42.220 --> 00:20:42.859
 this person

00:20:42.859 --> 00:20:44.139
 this man walks up

00:20:44.139 --> 00:20:44.579
 to him

00:20:44.579 --> 00:20:46.939
 who clearly

00:20:46.939 --> 00:20:48.079
 broke it in life

00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:48.599
 and clearly

00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:49.220
 they needed

00:20:49.220 --> 00:20:50.179
 prayer for healing

00:20:50.179 --> 00:20:52.139
 arms was twisted

00:20:52.139 --> 00:20:53.319
 they were distorted

00:20:53.319 --> 00:20:54.599
 they could hardly walk

00:20:54.599 --> 00:20:57.139
 he said

00:20:57.139 --> 00:20:57.619
 dear brother

00:20:57.619 --> 00:20:58.279
 how can I pray

00:20:58.279 --> 00:20:58.720
 for you

00:20:58.720 --> 00:21:01.419
 he said

00:21:01.419 --> 00:21:02.259
 oh you've got it wrong

00:21:02.259 --> 00:21:04.899
 I've been praying

00:21:04.900 --> 00:21:05.460
 for you

00:21:05.460 --> 00:21:07.700
 you don't remember

00:21:07.700 --> 00:21:08.400
 me do you

00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:11.200
 I'm your school friend

00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:11.660
 who you left

00:21:11.660 --> 00:21:12.259
 in the bush

00:21:12.259 --> 00:21:16.480
 from that very night

00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:17.640
 you thought I was dead

00:21:17.640 --> 00:21:18.400
 and I was dead

00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:19.620
 but Christ raised me

00:21:19.620 --> 00:21:21.120
 that very night

00:21:21.120 --> 00:21:21.900
 I've been praying

00:21:21.900 --> 00:21:22.680
 for your soul

00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:24.460
 and tonight

00:21:24.460 --> 00:21:25.540
 I see God's answer

00:21:25.540 --> 00:21:25.759
 that

00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:30.300
 are you praying

00:21:30.300 --> 00:21:31.680
 for your friends

00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:32.500
 and your family

00:21:32.500 --> 00:21:33.220
 your neighbours

00:21:33.220 --> 00:21:34.460
 your work colleagues

00:21:34.460 --> 00:21:37.000
 are you expecting

00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:37.839
 a supernatural

00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:38.819
 work of God

00:21:38.819 --> 00:21:39.579
 in their life

00:21:39.579 --> 00:21:48.920
 supernatural Christianity

00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:49.960
 is changing

00:21:49.960 --> 00:21:50.559
 the face

00:21:50.559 --> 00:21:51.680
 of human history

00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:53.319
 Christianity

00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:54.480
 that has no

00:21:54.480 --> 00:21:55.620
 supernatural element

00:21:55.620 --> 00:21:56.000
 to it

00:21:56.000 --> 00:21:56.720
 is nothing more

00:21:56.720 --> 00:21:57.920
 than a self-improvement

00:21:57.920 --> 00:21:58.420
 religion

00:21:58.420 --> 00:22:00.120
 nothing more

00:22:00.120 --> 00:22:00.539
 than that

00:22:00.539 --> 00:22:03.079
 it seems right

00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:04.939
 it seems appealing

00:22:04.939 --> 00:22:07.119
 it seems wise

00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:09.119
 but it only works

00:22:09.119 --> 00:22:09.659
 for people

00:22:09.659 --> 00:22:10.839
 in prosperous countries

00:22:10.839 --> 00:22:12.960
 it's an elitist religion

00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:14.259
 that has no power

00:22:14.259 --> 00:22:15.079
 at all

00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:16.859
 have you bought

00:22:16.859 --> 00:22:17.419
 into it

00:22:17.419 --> 00:22:24.839
 I said that there

00:22:24.839 --> 00:22:25.339
 are miracles

00:22:25.339 --> 00:22:26.019
 in these

00:22:26.019 --> 00:22:27.059
 these verses

00:22:27.059 --> 00:22:27.699
 so let me

00:22:27.699 --> 00:22:28.599
 pull that together

00:22:28.599 --> 00:22:29.259
 as we look at

00:22:29.259 --> 00:22:29.879
 the identity

00:22:29.879 --> 00:22:30.939
 of God's king

00:22:30.940 --> 00:22:33.400
 in chapter 11

00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:34.240
 verse 1

00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:35.200
 we read

00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:36.900
 a shoot

00:22:36.900 --> 00:22:37.620
 will come up

00:22:37.620 --> 00:22:38.400
 from the stump

00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:38.980
 of Jesse

00:22:38.980 --> 00:22:40.759
 from its roots

00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:41.680
 a branch

00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:42.620
 will bear fruit

00:22:42.620 --> 00:22:44.880
 what is behind

00:22:44.880 --> 00:22:45.960
 those verses

00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:46.960
 is the description

00:22:46.960 --> 00:22:47.640
 of the judgment

00:22:47.640 --> 00:22:48.279
 of God

00:22:48.279 --> 00:22:49.180
 in chapters

00:22:49.180 --> 00:22:51.220
 9 and 10

00:22:51.220 --> 00:22:52.460
 and the picture

00:22:52.460 --> 00:22:53.360
 is of total

00:22:53.360 --> 00:22:54.220
 devastation

00:22:54.220 --> 00:22:55.059
 of God's people

00:22:55.059 --> 00:22:55.799
 because of their

00:22:55.799 --> 00:22:56.480
 faithlessness

00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:58.920
 but the promise

00:22:58.920 --> 00:22:59.640
 of a remnant

00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:01.740
 it's an image

00:23:01.740 --> 00:23:03.099
 of deforestation

00:23:03.099 --> 00:23:05.160
 a thriving forest

00:23:05.160 --> 00:23:06.360
 being cut down

00:23:06.360 --> 00:23:07.480
 piled up

00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:08.460
 and burnt

00:23:08.460 --> 00:23:11.180
 because of

00:23:11.180 --> 00:23:11.799
 faithfulness

00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:12.480
 faithlessness

00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:14.240
 of God's people

00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:16.120
 then in verse 1

00:23:16.120 --> 00:23:17.279
 the green

00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:17.740
 shoot

00:23:17.740 --> 00:23:18.680
 sprouting out

00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:19.160
 of a stump

00:23:19.160 --> 00:23:19.819
 it's a metaphor

00:23:19.819 --> 00:23:21.960
 of descending

00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:22.779
 from someone

00:23:22.779 --> 00:23:23.539
 a green shoot

00:23:23.539 --> 00:23:24.240
 is descending

00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:24.940
 from someone

00:23:24.940 --> 00:23:25.759
 coming out

00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:27.119
 of life

00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:27.599
 coming out

00:23:27.599 --> 00:23:28.359
 of someone else

00:23:28.359 --> 00:23:30.000
 it is saying

00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:31.079
 that God's king

00:23:31.079 --> 00:23:31.940
 will come

00:23:31.940 --> 00:23:33.000
 out of Jesse

00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:34.279
 who is the father

00:23:34.279 --> 00:23:35.799
 of Israel's

00:23:35.799 --> 00:23:36.539
 king David

00:23:36.539 --> 00:23:38.240
 out of the

00:23:38.240 --> 00:23:39.039
 destruction

00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:41.240
 of Israel's

00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:43.099
 God's king

00:23:43.099 --> 00:23:44.180
 will be raised

00:23:44.180 --> 00:23:44.920
 up from

00:23:44.920 --> 00:23:46.119
 David's family

00:23:46.119 --> 00:23:46.639
 line

00:23:46.639 --> 00:23:49.159
 and yet

00:23:49.159 --> 00:23:49.700
 if you go down

00:23:49.700 --> 00:23:50.839
 to verse 10

00:23:50.839 --> 00:23:51.919
 you'll notice

00:23:51.919 --> 00:23:52.480
 something

00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:53.299
 interesting

00:23:53.299 --> 00:23:55.539
 in that day

00:23:55.539 --> 00:23:56.659
 the root

00:23:56.659 --> 00:23:57.199
 of Jesse

00:23:57.199 --> 00:23:58.079
 will stand

00:23:58.079 --> 00:23:58.720
 as a banner

00:23:58.720 --> 00:23:59.539
 for the nations

00:23:59.539 --> 00:24:00.119
 a banner

00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:01.179
 for the peoples

00:24:01.179 --> 00:24:01.819
 the nations

00:24:01.819 --> 00:24:02.500
 will rally

00:24:02.500 --> 00:24:03.099
 to him

00:24:03.099 --> 00:24:03.919
 and his

00:24:03.919 --> 00:24:05.019
 resting place

00:24:05.019 --> 00:24:05.659
 will be glorious

00:24:05.659 --> 00:24:08.079
 this is again

00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:09.000
 referring to

00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:09.939
 the same

00:24:09.939 --> 00:24:10.480
 king

00:24:10.480 --> 00:24:12.899
 but it doesn't

00:24:12.899 --> 00:24:13.359
 say he

00:24:13.359 --> 00:24:14.339
 descends

00:24:14.339 --> 00:24:15.579
 from David's

00:24:15.579 --> 00:24:16.579
 family line

00:24:16.579 --> 00:24:18.019
 it says

00:24:18.019 --> 00:24:18.679
 he is the

00:24:18.679 --> 00:24:19.699
 source

00:24:19.700 --> 00:24:21.500
 of David's

00:24:21.500 --> 00:24:22.480
 family line

00:24:22.480 --> 00:24:23.980
 God's king

00:24:23.980 --> 00:24:24.700
 is growing

00:24:24.700 --> 00:24:25.519
 out of Jesse

00:24:25.519 --> 00:24:26.160
 but Jesse

00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:26.799
 grew out

00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:27.259
 of God's

00:24:27.259 --> 00:24:27.660
 king

00:24:27.660 --> 00:24:29.299
 how can

00:24:29.299 --> 00:24:29.920
 someone be

00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:30.559
 both the

00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:30.880
 shoot

00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:31.539
 and the

00:24:31.539 --> 00:24:31.860
 root

00:24:31.860 --> 00:24:33.980
 of David

00:24:33.980 --> 00:24:34.500
 and Jesse

00:24:34.500 --> 00:24:36.620
 and the

00:24:36.620 --> 00:24:37.460
 answer is

00:24:37.460 --> 00:24:39.519
 as crazy

00:24:39.519 --> 00:24:40.200
 as it seems

00:24:40.200 --> 00:24:40.559
 to our

00:24:40.559 --> 00:24:42.180
 non-supernatural

00:24:42.180 --> 00:24:42.860
 society

00:24:42.860 --> 00:24:43.660
 that the

00:24:43.660 --> 00:24:44.460
 creator God

00:24:44.460 --> 00:24:45.000
 who is the

00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:45.740
 source of

00:24:45.740 --> 00:24:46.500
 us all

00:24:46.500 --> 00:24:47.620
 was born

00:24:47.620 --> 00:24:48.200
 into the

00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:48.500
 world

00:24:48.500 --> 00:24:49.080
 as a human

00:24:49.080 --> 00:24:49.440
 being

00:24:49.440 --> 00:24:50.059
 a descendant

00:24:50.059 --> 00:24:50.380
 of King

00:24:50.380 --> 00:24:50.700
 David

00:24:50.700 --> 00:24:51.340
 from Israel

00:24:51.340 --> 00:24:54.200
 the message

00:24:54.200 --> 00:24:54.900
 of Christmas

00:24:54.900 --> 00:24:56.299
 is that the

00:24:56.299 --> 00:24:57.820
 creator God

00:24:57.820 --> 00:24:58.519
 has broken

00:24:58.519 --> 00:24:59.180
 into his

00:24:59.180 --> 00:24:59.660
 world

00:24:59.660 --> 00:25:02.120
 Jesus Christ

00:25:02.120 --> 00:25:02.680
 is not just

00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:04.059
 simply a man

00:25:04.059 --> 00:25:05.160
 concerned for

00:25:05.160 --> 00:25:05.820
 the poor

00:25:05.820 --> 00:25:06.519
 or just

00:25:06.519 --> 00:25:07.539
 simply a wise

00:25:07.539 --> 00:25:08.100
 teacher

00:25:08.100 --> 00:25:10.279
 he's not just

00:25:10.279 --> 00:25:11.039
 left us with

00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:12.660
 a great

00:25:12.660 --> 00:25:13.580
 example of

00:25:13.580 --> 00:25:14.080
 how to live

00:25:14.080 --> 00:25:14.840
 life and some

00:25:14.840 --> 00:25:15.820
 wise sayings

00:25:15.820 --> 00:25:16.279
 that we can

00:25:16.279 --> 00:25:16.600
 twitter

00:25:16.599 --> 00:25:18.439
 this is what

00:25:18.439 --> 00:25:19.179
 Matthew 1

00:25:19.179 --> 00:25:20.199
 says as

00:25:20.199 --> 00:25:20.939
 the angel

00:25:20.939 --> 00:25:22.019
 speaks to

00:25:22.019 --> 00:25:22.379
 Mary

00:25:22.379 --> 00:25:23.299
 that she

00:25:23.299 --> 00:25:23.619
 will give

00:25:23.619 --> 00:25:24.439
 birth to

00:25:24.439 --> 00:25:25.059
 a son

00:25:25.059 --> 00:25:26.000
 and you

00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:26.219
 are to

00:25:26.219 --> 00:25:26.500
 give him

00:25:26.500 --> 00:25:26.819
 the name

00:25:26.819 --> 00:25:27.259
 Jesus

00:25:27.259 --> 00:25:27.879
 because he

00:25:27.879 --> 00:25:28.359
 will save

00:25:28.359 --> 00:25:28.819
 his people

00:25:28.819 --> 00:25:29.279
 from their

00:25:29.279 --> 00:25:29.779
 sins

00:25:29.779 --> 00:25:30.619
 and all

00:25:30.619 --> 00:25:31.059
 this took

00:25:31.059 --> 00:25:31.579
 place to

00:25:31.579 --> 00:25:32.059
 fulfill what

00:25:32.059 --> 00:25:32.519
 the Lord

00:25:32.519 --> 00:25:33.000
 had said

00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:33.379
 through the

00:25:33.379 --> 00:25:33.679
 prophet

00:25:33.679 --> 00:25:34.079
 then he

00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:34.500
 quotes from

00:25:34.500 --> 00:25:35.299
 Isaiah 7

00:25:35.299 --> 00:25:36.940
 the virgin

00:25:36.940 --> 00:25:37.819
 will conceive

00:25:37.819 --> 00:25:38.319
 and give

00:25:38.319 --> 00:25:38.680
 birth to

00:25:38.680 --> 00:25:39.359
 a son

00:25:39.359 --> 00:25:40.460
 and they

00:25:40.460 --> 00:25:40.839
 will call

00:25:40.839 --> 00:25:41.000
 him

00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:41.539
 Emmanuel

00:25:41.539 --> 00:25:43.200
 which means

00:25:43.200 --> 00:25:44.259
 God

00:25:44.259 --> 00:25:45.579
 with us

00:25:45.579 --> 00:25:46.879
 God's

00:25:46.879 --> 00:25:47.279
 king

00:25:49.059 --> 00:25:49.319
 son of

00:25:49.319 --> 00:25:49.779
 the virgin

00:25:51.059 --> 00:25:53.139
 that's the

00:25:53.139 --> 00:25:54.259
 miracle here

00:25:54.259 --> 00:25:55.159
 in Isaiah

00:25:55.159 --> 00:25:55.680
 11

00:25:55.680 --> 00:25:56.379
 God

00:25:56.379 --> 00:25:57.299
 with

00:25:57.299 --> 00:25:58.379
 us

00:25:58.379 --> 00:26:01.240
 Christmas

00:26:01.240 --> 00:26:01.740
 the Christian

00:26:01.740 --> 00:26:02.259
 faith

00:26:02.259 --> 00:26:04.099
 is

00:26:04.099 --> 00:26:05.240
 category

00:26:05.240 --> 00:26:05.720
 breaking

00:26:05.720 --> 00:26:06.160
 for our

00:26:06.160 --> 00:26:06.539
 world

00:26:06.539 --> 00:26:08.779
 because

00:26:08.779 --> 00:26:09.200
 our

00:26:09.200 --> 00:26:09.519
 world

00:26:09.519 --> 00:26:10.079
 understands

00:26:10.079 --> 00:26:10.379
 two

00:26:10.379 --> 00:26:10.740
 kinds

00:26:10.740 --> 00:26:10.879
 of

00:26:10.879 --> 00:26:11.299
 religion

00:26:11.299 --> 00:26:13.140
 and

00:26:13.140 --> 00:26:13.700
 frankly

00:26:13.700 --> 00:26:15.099
 many

00:26:15.099 --> 00:26:15.519
 Christians

00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:15.900
 are bought

00:26:15.900 --> 00:26:16.299
 into this

00:26:16.299 --> 00:26:16.900
 two kinds

00:26:16.900 --> 00:26:17.019
 of

00:26:17.019 --> 00:26:17.339
 religion

00:26:17.339 --> 00:26:17.940
 idea

00:26:17.940 --> 00:26:18.799
 the

00:26:18.799 --> 00:26:19.119
 religion

00:26:19.119 --> 00:26:19.400
 of

00:26:19.400 --> 00:26:19.799
 wrath

00:26:19.799 --> 00:26:20.839
 is where

00:26:20.839 --> 00:26:21.220
 there are

00:26:21.220 --> 00:26:21.599
 rules

00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:22.099
 and laws

00:26:22.099 --> 00:26:22.460
 that must

00:26:22.460 --> 00:26:22.640
 be

00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:23.119
 obeyed

00:26:23.119 --> 00:26:23.460
 if you

00:26:23.460 --> 00:26:23.839
 do

00:26:23.839 --> 00:26:24.200
 if you

00:26:24.200 --> 00:26:24.539
 obey

00:26:24.539 --> 00:26:24.900
 them

00:26:24.900 --> 00:26:25.460
 God

00:26:25.460 --> 00:26:25.640
 will

00:26:25.640 --> 00:26:25.960
 bless

00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:26.180
 you

00:26:26.180 --> 00:26:26.559
 if you

00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:27.019
 don't

00:26:27.019 --> 00:26:27.220
 God

00:26:27.220 --> 00:26:27.519
 gets

00:26:27.519 --> 00:26:27.859
 super

00:26:27.859 --> 00:26:28.339
 cranky

00:26:28.339 --> 00:26:28.539

00:26:28.539 --> 00:26:28.799
 you

00:26:28.799 --> 00:26:30.400
 it's

00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:30.640
 a very

00:28:13.240 --> 00:28:13.439
 his

00:28:13.439 --> 00:28:13.740
 people

00:28:13.740 --> 00:28:13.960
 from

00:28:13.960 --> 00:28:14.480
 slavery

00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:14.859

00:28:14.859 --> 00:28:15.480
 Egypt

00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:16.359
 so

00:28:16.359 --> 00:28:16.599
 he

00:28:16.599 --> 00:28:16.779
 will

00:28:16.779 --> 00:28:17.039
 lead

00:28:17.039 --> 00:28:17.159
 them

00:28:21.000 --> 00:28:21.220
 that's

00:28:21.220 --> 00:28:21.379
 why

00:28:21.379 --> 00:28:21.819
 Christianity

00:28:21.819 --> 00:28:22.459
 is so

00:28:22.459 --> 00:28:23.299
 transforming

00:28:23.299 --> 00:28:25.019
 it's

00:28:25.019 --> 00:28:25.139
 not

00:28:25.139 --> 00:28:25.339
 just

00:28:25.339 --> 00:28:25.500

00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:27.199
 it's

 acceptance

00:28:28.619 --> 00:28:29.480
 it's

00:28:29.480 --> 00:28:29.579
 a

00:28:36.899 --> 00:28:38.939
 yes

00:28:38.939 --> 00:28:39.399
 there is

00:28:39.399 --> 00:28:39.819
 justice

00:28:39.819 --> 00:28:40.079
 on

00:28:40.079 --> 00:28:40.519
 sin

00:28:40.519 --> 00:28:41.079
 we

00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:41.359
 see

00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:41.699
 that

 all

00:31:02.860 --> 00:31:03.120

00:31:04.160 --> 00:31:05.080

00:31:05.460 --> 00:31:05.940

00:31:05.940 --> 00:31:06.920
 where

00:31:06.920 --> 00:31:07.539
 Jesus

00:31:07.539 --> 00:31:08.259
 became

00:31:08.259 --> 00:31:08.740
 poor

00:31:08.740 --> 00:31:08.920
 and

00:31:08.920 --> 00:31:09.460
 oppressed

 was

00:31:09.900 --> 00:31:10.379

00:31:10.379 --> 00:31:11.059
 killed

00:31:11.059 --> 00:31:11.940
 so that

00:31:11.940 --> 00:31:12.240
 we can

00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:12.640
 be rich

00:31:12.640 --> 00:31:13.059

 we

 heart

00:36:19.940 --> 00:36:20.240
 has

 repentance

00:36:35.039 --> 00:36:35.920
 requires

00:36:35.920 --> 00:36:36.160
 an

00:36:36.160 --> 00:36:36.600
 admission

00:36:36.600 --> 00:36:36.920
 of

 failure

00:36:37.320 --> 00:36:37.860
 and

 of

00:36:38.860 --> 00:36:39.220
 sin

00:36:39.220 --> 00:36:39.740
 it's

00:36:39.740 --> 00:36:39.960
 not

00:36:39.960 --> 00:36:40.200
 just

00:36:40.200 --> 00:36:40.519
 saying

00:36:40.519 --> 00:36:41.140
 sorry

00:36:41.139 --> 00:36:42.279
 it's

00:36:42.279 --> 00:36:42.420
 an

00:36:42.420 --> 00:36:43.139
 intentional

00:36:43.139 --> 00:36:43.980
 turning

 towards

00:36:47.099 --> 00:36:47.719
 Christ

00:36:47.719 --> 00:36:48.480
 to be

00:36:48.480 --> 00:36:49.119
 conformed

00:36:49.119 --> 00:36:49.400
 to his

00:36:49.400 --> 00:36:49.819
 pattern

00:36:49.819 --> 00:36:50.239
 his

00:36:50.239 --> 00:36:50.699
 character

00:36:50.699 --> 00:36:50.960
 his

00:36:53.659 --> 00:36:53.799
 what

00:36:53.799 --> 00:36:54.279
 repentance

00:36:54.279 --> 00:36:55.000
 is

00:36:55.000 --> 00:36:58.279
 and

00:36:58.279 --> 00:36:58.500
 too

00:36:58.500 --> 00:36:58.739
 many

00:36:58.739 --> 00:36:59.119
 of us

00:36:59.119 --> 00:36:59.460
 I think

00:36:59.460 --> 00:36:59.619
 have

00:36:59.619 --> 00:37:00.099
 stopped

00:37:08.239 --> 00:37:08.679
 life

00:37:08.679 --> 00:37:09.199
 where

00:37:09.199 --> 00:37:09.400
 we

00:37:09.400 --> 00:37:09.960
 embrace

00:37:09.960 --> 00:37:10.179
 his

00:37:11.559 --> 00:37:12.119
 and

00:37:12.119 --> 00:37:12.259

00:37:12.259 --> 00:37:12.480
 turn

00:37:12.480 --> 00:37:12.719
 away

00:37:12.719 --> 00:37:12.919
 from

 a

 highest

00:37:22.279 --> 00:37:22.679
 priority

00:37:22.679 --> 00:37:22.899
 for

00:37:22.899 --> 00:37:23.199
 Christians

00:37:23.199 --> 00:37:23.519
 in the

00:37:23.519 --> 00:37:23.799
 Western

00:37:23.799 --> 00:37:24.299
 Church

00:37:24.299 --> 00:37:25.339
 as

00:37:25.339 --> 00:37:25.919
 disciples

00:37:25.919 --> 00:37:26.460
 in

00:37:26.460 --> 00:37:27.079
 Christ's

00:37:27.079 --> 00:37:27.299
 school

00:37:27.299 --> 00:37:27.500
 of

00:37:27.500 --> 00:37:27.919
 holiness

00:37:27.919 --> 00:37:29.099
 must

00:37:29.099 --> 00:37:29.319
 be

00:37:29.319 --> 00:37:29.539
 to

00:37:29.539 --> 00:37:29.899
 purge

00:37:29.899 --> 00:37:30.980
 complacency

00:37:30.980 --> 00:37:31.639
 and

00:37:31.639 --> 00:37:32.159
 comfort

00:37:32.159 --> 00:37:32.480
 from

00:37:32.480 --> 00:37:32.759
 our

00:37:32.759 --> 00:37:33.239
 souls

00:37:33.239 --> 00:37:37.399
 three

00:37:37.399 --> 00:37:37.739
 weeks

00:37:37.739 --> 00:37:37.979
 in

00:37:37.979 --> 00:37:38.119
 and

00:37:38.119 --> 00:37:38.299
 I'm

00:37:38.299 --> 00:37:38.500
 wondering

00:37:38.500 --> 00:37:38.779
 yet

00:37:38.779 --> 00:37:39.099
 have we

00:37:39.099 --> 00:37:40.139
 heeded

00:37:40.139 --> 00:37:40.339
 the

00:37:40.339 --> 00:37:40.659
 warning

00:37:40.659 --> 00:37:40.859
 of

00:37:40.859 --> 00:37:41.319
 Isaiah

00:37:41.319 --> 00:37:43.899
 the

00:37:43.899 --> 00:37:44.219
 people

00:37:44.219 --> 00:37:44.399
 in

00:37:44.399 --> 00:37:45.019
 Isaiah's

00:37:45.019 --> 00:37:45.379
 day

00:37:45.379 --> 00:37:47.299
 had a

00:37:47.299 --> 00:37:47.599
 great

00:37:47.599 --> 00:37:48.059
 life

00:37:48.059 --> 00:37:49.539
 they were

00:37:49.539 --> 00:37:49.979
 comfortable

00:37:49.979 --> 00:37:51.319
 they were

00:37:51.319 --> 00:37:51.719
 wealthy

00:37:51.719 --> 00:37:53.139
 they

00:37:53.139 --> 00:37:53.839
 believed

00:37:53.839 --> 00:37:55.219
 but they

00:37:55.219 --> 00:37:55.539
 weren't

00:37:55.539 --> 00:37:56.139
 repentant

00:37:56.139 --> 00:37:59.719
 and we

00:37:59.719 --> 00:38:00.000
 need to

00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:00.199
 be

00:38:00.199 --> 00:38:04.799
 I

00:38:04.799 --> 00:38:05.199
 talk to

00:38:05.199 --> 00:38:05.619
 pastors

00:38:05.619 --> 00:38:06.339
 from all

00:38:06.339 --> 00:38:06.759
 over the

00:38:06.759 --> 00:38:07.079
 place

00:38:07.079 --> 00:38:07.739
 right now

00:38:07.739 --> 00:38:08.500
 and one

00:38:08.500 --> 00:38:08.759
 of the

00:38:08.759 --> 00:38:09.279
 consistent

00:38:09.279 --> 00:38:09.759
 messages

00:38:09.759 --> 00:38:10.400
 I hear

00:38:10.400 --> 00:38:11.279
 in fact

00:38:11.279 --> 00:38:11.639
 I haven't

00:38:11.639 --> 00:38:11.980
 spoken to

00:38:11.980 --> 00:38:12.359
 a single

00:38:12.359 --> 00:38:12.799
 pastor

00:38:12.799 --> 00:38:13.219
 who has

00:38:13.219 --> 00:38:13.440
 not

00:38:13.440 --> 00:38:13.839
 affirmed

00:38:13.839 --> 00:38:14.139
 this

00:38:14.139 --> 00:38:16.519

00:43:58.900 --> 00:43:59.359
 has you

00:43:59.360 --> 00:43:59.680
 as a

00:43:59.680 --> 00:44:00.019
 support

00:44:00.019 --> 00:44:00.599
 person

00:44:00.599 --> 00:44:02.920
 and not

00:44:02.920 --> 00:44:03.480
 the king

00:44:03.480 --> 00:44:08.140
 many of

00:44:08.140 --> 00:44:08.519
 us once

00:44:08.519 --> 00:44:08.880
 walked

00:44:08.880 --> 00:44:09.380
 with you

00:44:09.380 --> 00:44:10.640
 with hearts

00:44:10.640 --> 00:44:11.220
 tender to

00:44:11.220 --> 00:44:11.760
 your love

00:44:11.760 --> 00:44:12.019
 and your

00:44:12.019 --> 00:44:12.460
 leading

00:44:12.460 --> 00:44:13.780
 and yet

00:44:13.780 --> 00:44:14.260
 little by

00:44:14.260 --> 00:44:14.760
 little we

00:44:14.760 --> 00:44:15.320
 exchange

00:44:15.320 --> 00:44:16.160
 your truths

00:44:16.160 --> 00:44:17.059
 for temptations

00:44:17.059 --> 00:44:17.760
 and deceit

00:44:17.760 --> 00:44:18.960
 that led us

00:44:18.960 --> 00:44:19.480
 away from

00:44:19.480 --> 00:44:19.760
 you

00:44:19.760 --> 00:44:29.000
 many of

00:44:29.000 --> 00:44:29.120
 us

00:44:29.120 --> 00:44:29.480
 allowed

00:44:29.480 --> 00:44:29.820
 other

00:44:29.820 --> 00:44:30.380
 things

00:44:30.380 --> 00:44:31.160
 to

00:44:31.160 --> 00:44:31.400
 become

00:44:31.400 --> 00:44:31.680
 more

00:44:31.680 --> 00:44:32.160
 important

00:44:32.160 --> 00:44:32.380
 than

00:44:32.380 --> 00:44:32.640
 loving

00:44:32.640 --> 00:44:32.820
 and

00:44:32.820 --> 00:44:33.060
 honoring

00:44:33.060 --> 00:44:33.420
 you

00:44:33.420 --> 00:44:36.460
 many of

00:44:36.460 --> 00:44:36.580
 us

00:44:36.580 --> 00:44:36.740
 have

00:44:36.740 --> 00:44:36.940
 sought

00:44:36.940 --> 00:44:37.600
 satisfaction

00:44:37.600 --> 00:44:37.860
 in

00:44:37.860 --> 00:44:38.060
 other

00:44:38.060 --> 00:44:38.480
 things

00:44:38.480 --> 00:44:38.660
 than

00:44:38.660 --> 00:44:39.000
 you

00:44:39.000 --> 00:44:41.660
 and you

00:44:41.660 --> 00:44:41.860
 are the

00:44:41.860 --> 00:44:42.200
 one who

00:44:42.200 --> 00:44:42.680
 provides

00:44:42.680 --> 00:44:43.140
 all of

00:44:43.140 --> 00:44:43.300
 our

00:44:43.300 --> 00:44:43.760
 needs

00:44:43.760 --> 00:44:46.280
 forgive

00:44:46.280 --> 00:44:46.600
 us

00:44:46.600 --> 00:44:46.920
 Lord

00:44:46.920 --> 00:44:47.260
 because

00:44:47.260 --> 00:44:47.780
 repentance

00:44:47.780 --> 00:44:48.400
 has not

00:44:48.400 --> 00:44:49.100
 been in

00:44:49.100 --> 00:44:49.300
 our

00:44:49.300 --> 00:44:49.860
 vocabulary

00:44:49.860 --> 00:44:52.580
 and today

00:44:52.580 --> 00:44:53.220
 we confess

00:44:53.220 --> 00:44:53.780
 our desperate

00:44:53.780 --> 00:44:54.260
 need for

00:44:54.260 --> 00:44:54.540
 you

00:44:54.540 --> 00:44:56.760
 you have

00:44:56.760 --> 00:44:57.200
 promised

00:44:57.200 --> 00:44:57.780
 that if we

00:44:57.780 --> 00:44:58.420
 confess our

00:44:58.420 --> 00:44:59.080
 sin you'll

00:44:59.080 --> 00:44:59.600
 forgive us

00:44:59.600 --> 00:45:00.120
 and make us

00:45:00.120 --> 00:45:00.800
 clean again

00:45:00.800 --> 00:45:03.780
 as Jess has

00:45:03.780 --> 00:45:04.519
 already prayed

00:45:04.519 --> 00:45:05.240
 we ask that you

00:45:05.240 --> 00:45:05.760
 might do

00:45:05.760 --> 00:45:06.340
 in us

00:45:06.340 --> 00:45:06.740
 Lord

00:45:06.740 --> 00:45:08.400
 your remarkable

00:45:08.400 --> 00:45:09.080
 work of

00:45:09.080 --> 00:45:09.640
 transformation

00:45:09.640 --> 00:45:10.620
 and change

00:45:10.620 --> 00:45:12.320
 we truly

00:45:12.320 --> 00:45:12.860
 need your

00:45:12.860 --> 00:45:13.280
 forgiveness

00:45:13.280 --> 00:45:13.440
 forgiveness

00:45:13.440 --> 00:45:15.200
 and so

00:45:15.200 --> 00:45:15.680
 Lord we

00:45:15.680 --> 00:45:16.060
 ask from

00:45:16.060 --> 00:45:16.620
 this moment

00:45:16.620 --> 00:45:17.340
 that repentance

00:45:17.340 --> 00:45:18.200
 of life

00:45:18.200 --> 00:45:19.500
 may be in

00:45:19.500 --> 00:45:20.180
 our hearts

00:45:20.180 --> 00:45:21.000
 it might be

00:45:21.000 --> 00:45:21.740
 on our lips

00:45:21.740 --> 00:45:22.980
 and it might be

00:45:22.980 --> 00:45:23.800
 evident in our

00:45:23.800 --> 00:45:24.420
 priorities

00:45:24.420 --> 00:45:25.519
 Amen
