00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.600
 Over to you.

00:00:02.020 --> 00:00:06.480
 The scripture reading comes from the book of Matthew, chapter 13.

00:00:07.339 --> 00:00:10.800
 Please follow along on the bulletin or your own Bible.

00:00:12.419 --> 00:00:15.080
 Starting in verse 51, we read,

00:00:16.260 --> 00:00:18.600
 Have you understood all these things?

00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:20.879
 They said to him, Yes.

00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:23.379
 And he said to them,

00:00:24.219 --> 00:00:28.500
 Therefore, every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven

00:00:28.500 --> 00:00:31.160
 is like a master of a house

00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:35.420
 who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old.

00:00:36.980 --> 00:00:39.480
 And when Jesus had finished these parables,

00:00:40.019 --> 00:00:41.280
 he went away from there.

00:00:41.700 --> 00:00:43.120
 And coming to his hometown,

00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:45.179
 he taught them in their synagogue

00:00:45.179 --> 00:00:48.100
 so that they were astonished and said,

00:00:48.519 --> 00:00:52.960
 Where did this man get this wisdom and these mighty works?

00:00:54.140 --> 00:00:56.879
 Is not this the carpenter's son?

00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:00.060
 Is not his mother called Mary?

00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:04.520
 And are not his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?

00:01:05.540 --> 00:01:07.879
 And are not all his sisters with us?

00:01:08.780 --> 00:01:11.740
 Where then did this man get all these things?

00:01:12.620 --> 00:01:14.099
 And they took offense at him.

00:01:14.960 --> 00:01:16.439
 But Jesus said to them,

00:01:17.260 --> 00:01:21.480
 A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown

00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:23.799
 and in his own household.

00:01:24.520 --> 00:01:27.600
 And he did not do many mighty works there

00:01:27.600 --> 00:01:30.540
 because of their unbelief.

00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:32.359
 This is the word of God.

00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:36.219
 Great. Thank you, Karen.

00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:38.000
 Good morning.

00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:39.500
 Those of you who don't know me,

00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:40.200
 my name is Chris.

00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:41.820
 I'm one of the leaders here.

00:01:42.100 --> 00:01:43.800
 And we're going to be continuing our series

00:01:43.800 --> 00:01:45.620
 looking at Matthew this morning.

00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:48.439
 Kevin is away preaching at another church,

00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:49.659
 at Faith Community Church.

00:01:49.659 --> 00:01:52.259
 And one of the things we love to do as a church

00:01:52.259 --> 00:01:54.979
 is we believe we're not just here for ourselves in the city,

00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:57.679
 but actually God has placed us here to be a blessing

00:01:57.679 --> 00:02:00.519
 and encouragement to other churches as well.

00:02:00.679 --> 00:02:02.920
 So I'd love us to just close our eyes and pray

00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:04.679
 as we begin

00:02:04.679 --> 00:02:06.859
 and ask God to just bless our time

00:02:06.859 --> 00:02:09.079
 and bless that church as well.

00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:14.300
 So Father, I just want to thank you

00:02:14.300 --> 00:02:17.400
 that we get the privilege

00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:19.740
 of gathering together this morning,

00:02:20.180 --> 00:02:22.680
 of being in your presence this morning.

00:02:23.460 --> 00:02:25.000
 Lord, none of us have any merit,

00:02:25.180 --> 00:02:27.220
 any right to come before you,

00:02:27.780 --> 00:02:30.340
 and yet you have made a way for us to come to you.

00:02:30.780 --> 00:02:33.160
 Lord, I thank you that it's pure grace that we're here.

00:02:33.939 --> 00:02:34.820
 And so I pray, Lord,

00:02:34.819 --> 00:02:36.659
 that we would not take for granted

00:02:36.659 --> 00:02:39.199
 the privilege that it is to both be your children,

00:02:39.579 --> 00:02:41.379
 but also to be able to gather this morning.

00:02:41.519 --> 00:02:43.219
 Lord, I pray that you would speak to us

00:02:43.219 --> 00:02:44.759
 because you're so gracious

00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:45.780
 and you're so generous

00:02:45.780 --> 00:02:47.259
 and you love to speak to us.

00:02:47.780 --> 00:02:50.379
 I pray that you'd open our hearts to be good soil,

00:02:50.539 --> 00:02:54.639
 that we'd be a people who are chasing after you

00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:56.299
 and willing to sell everything,

00:02:56.539 --> 00:02:58.900
 that we might buy that pearl of great price

00:02:58.900 --> 00:03:00.099
 that we looked at last week.

00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:02.139
 And I pray the same, Father,

00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:03.620
 for Faith Community Church,

00:03:03.699 --> 00:03:04.780
 where Kevin's speaking this morning.

00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:07.099
 Lord, we pray that they would be a community as well,

00:03:07.379 --> 00:03:08.919
 which has you right at the center,

00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:10.719
 that your presence would be there,

00:03:10.799 --> 00:03:12.019
 that you would encourage them,

00:03:12.079 --> 00:03:13.019
 that you would build them up,

00:03:13.079 --> 00:03:13.979
 that you would grow them

00:03:13.979 --> 00:03:15.840
 and strengthen them as a light

00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:18.299
 in the southwest of Hong Kong.

00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:20.240
 Lord, we just pray that you would bless them.

00:03:21.079 --> 00:03:22.759
 And Father, we just ask you,

00:03:23.539 --> 00:03:26.180
 even as we go on a journey as a church

00:03:26.180 --> 00:03:28.519
 in seeking your heart

00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:29.480
 and seeking your will

00:03:29.480 --> 00:03:31.480
 and seeking your ways over this next while,

00:03:31.580 --> 00:03:34.480
 we pray even for the pastor search

00:03:34.480 --> 00:03:37.040
 as we're looking for someone to come

00:03:37.040 --> 00:03:40.340
 and take my position next year.

00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:42.439
 Father, I just pray that you would provide in that.

00:03:42.540 --> 00:03:44.520
 Lord, we pray for just this process,

00:03:44.980 --> 00:03:46.140
 that you would be at the center,

00:03:46.260 --> 00:03:51.060
 that even those people who have sent in their CVs,

00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:53.420
 Lord, you give us real discernment and wisdom in that.

00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:55.320
 But we pray as a church, Lord,

00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:56.900
 open our ears to hear your voice.

00:03:56.900 --> 00:04:00.240
 Let us be those who love you with all of our hearts.

00:04:00.700 --> 00:04:02.039
 We pray this in Jesus' name.

00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:03.580
 Amen.

00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:06.800
 So yeah, just as I prayed,

00:04:06.980 --> 00:04:09.840
 we're continuing the pastor search process.

00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:12.020
 So we'll be giving you some updates

00:04:12.020 --> 00:04:13.580
 over the next little while,

00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:15.360
 but we've had a few CVs sent in.

00:04:16.180 --> 00:04:17.899
 And so we just encourage you to really be praying

00:04:17.899 --> 00:04:20.360
 for the pastor search committee as well

00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:22.180
 in this process.

00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:23.240
 That would be great.

00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:27.699
 So we've been looking at the book of Matthew.

00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:31.000
 And before we get into our passage,

00:04:32.340 --> 00:04:34.759
 one of the things about me is that I used to be,

00:04:35.259 --> 00:04:37.579
 in a former life, I was an English teacher.

00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:40.560
 And so this morning, what I would like you to do

00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:44.439
 is to do a little bit of a pronunciation lesson with you

00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:48.040
 so that we just test your English this morning.

00:04:48.300 --> 00:04:49.300
 Okay, are you up for that?

00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:51.480
 I need a bit of participation here.

00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:53.200
 Okay, I'm going to put some words on the screen

00:04:53.200 --> 00:04:55.420
 and I want you to pronounce them correctly.

00:04:55.780 --> 00:04:56.000
 Okay?

00:04:56.540 --> 00:04:58.180
 So, can we have the first word?

00:04:59.420 --> 00:05:00.259
 No, not that one.

00:05:01.700 --> 00:05:02.300
 This one.

00:05:04.540 --> 00:05:05.680
 Wow, you guys are good.

00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:06.720
 Okay, next one.

00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:10.439
 Okay, you guys have really got this.

00:05:10.660 --> 00:05:11.720
 Okay, let's make it a little bit harder.

00:05:14.220 --> 00:05:15.500
 Okay, let's...

00:05:15.500 --> 00:05:17.340
 You're clearly above beginner standards.

00:05:17.339 --> 00:05:19.060
 So let's make it even harder.

00:05:19.719 --> 00:05:20.119
 You.

00:05:20.719 --> 00:05:21.779
 Oh, this is good.

00:05:21.939 --> 00:05:23.879
 Okay, so let's go for the next one.

00:05:24.899 --> 00:05:25.259
 So.

00:05:26.379 --> 00:05:26.719
 Huh.

00:05:33.459 --> 00:05:34.639
 What's going on with that?

00:05:37.079 --> 00:05:38.799
 Like most of you, I can tell,

00:05:39.039 --> 00:05:41.479
 have learned English quite well

00:05:41.479 --> 00:05:43.000
 that you've actually begun to expand

00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:43.939
 some of your categories.

00:05:44.620 --> 00:05:46.639
 But actually, isn't it bizarre

00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:50.740
 that actually we have these expectations

00:05:50.740 --> 00:05:52.459
 of how things should work, right?

00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:55.480
 We have these patterns that we live with,

00:05:55.860 --> 00:05:57.379
 as this example shows you.

00:05:57.699 --> 00:06:00.180
 Things that actually are shaped,

00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:01.699
 shape our lives

00:06:01.699 --> 00:06:04.199
 and shape our expectations in life, right?

00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:07.540
 As like these words shape our expectations,

00:06:07.540 --> 00:06:09.980
 and then sometimes life just throws you a curveball.

00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:13.460
 And as many of you,

00:06:13.540 --> 00:06:15.040
 you seem to be able to incorporate

00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:17.480
 that English curveball into your vocabulary,

00:06:17.900 --> 00:06:20.100
 which has actually enriched your language.

00:06:21.020 --> 00:06:23.980
 But what happens in our lives,

00:06:24.280 --> 00:06:26.180
 it's actually, it's not just language,

00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:28.680
 it's our culture, it's our families,

00:06:28.820 --> 00:06:30.420
 it's a whole load of expectations

00:06:30.420 --> 00:06:32.600
 that we live and we're shaped by media

00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:33.340
 and by peers,

00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:35.800
 and we live with these patterns in our lives,

00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:37.000
 with these expectations

00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:39.180
 of how we think life should work, don't we?

00:06:40.060 --> 00:06:41.180
 Not just language.

00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:43.500
 Every area of our lives.

00:06:44.280 --> 00:06:45.319
 And sooner or later,

00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:46.340
 God will come

00:06:46.340 --> 00:06:49.680
 and he'll throw a curveball into your life.

00:06:51.100 --> 00:06:52.600
 And at that moment,

00:06:53.379 --> 00:06:55.900
 things won't seem to make sense.

00:06:56.960 --> 00:06:58.740
 Things will seem to be disoriented.

00:06:59.280 --> 00:06:59.620
 And you go,

00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:00.860
 what's that all about?

00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:03.720
 But that is the moment,

00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:06.060
 and what you do with that moment

00:07:06.060 --> 00:07:08.760
 will shape the entire course of your life.

00:07:10.220 --> 00:07:12.740
 It will shape whether you go,

00:07:13.220 --> 00:07:15.220
 no, words ending in E-W,

00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:17.020
 they always pronounce ooh.

00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:19.800
 Or whether actually you're willing,

00:07:20.180 --> 00:07:22.560
 and you just kind of reject that kind of,

00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:23.580
 you just say sue,

00:07:23.760 --> 00:07:24.700
 that's what it is.

00:07:25.700 --> 00:07:26.300
 You know,

00:07:26.400 --> 00:07:27.520
 and you get taken to court.

00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:29.399
 But, you know,

00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:31.240
 the thing in our lives is

00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:34.680
 you either stick with everything that you know,

00:07:35.339 --> 00:07:38.359
 or you allow your categories to expand

00:07:38.359 --> 00:07:40.579
 and to get reshaped.

00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:42.099
 And you get a richer,

00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:43.039
 deeper,

00:07:43.579 --> 00:07:45.699
 more expansive view of life.

00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:49.019
 And that's what this passage is actually all about.

00:07:50.159 --> 00:07:50.379
 You see,

00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:53.560
 this passage is about one of those categories in our lives,

00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:55.379
 and it's the category of home.

00:07:55.379 --> 00:07:59.939
 Because home is supposed to be a place of safety.

00:08:00.740 --> 00:08:02.980
 It's supposed to be a place where you're known,

00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:04.000
 where you're loved,

00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:05.120
 where you're accepted,

00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:06.040
 where you're secure.

00:08:06.740 --> 00:08:09.959
 It's supposed to be a place where you can just sit down,

00:08:10.339 --> 00:08:11.579
 take your shoes off,

00:08:11.699 --> 00:08:12.519
 put your feet up,

00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:13.980
 and take off your masks,

00:08:14.180 --> 00:08:15.199
 take off your pretenses,

00:08:15.500 --> 00:08:17.500
 and feel totally safe.

00:08:18.300 --> 00:08:19.779
 With nothing to prove.

00:08:19.779 --> 00:08:22.879
 It's supposed to be a place

00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:24.539
 where you don't have to guess

00:08:24.539 --> 00:08:25.839
 how things are going to work.

00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:27.639
 Because you know.

00:08:29.679 --> 00:08:32.279
 But if you've grown up in one place

00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:35.720
 and gone away to another place,

00:08:36.039 --> 00:08:37.899
 you will know that sometimes

00:08:37.899 --> 00:08:39.559
 our expectations,

00:08:41.620 --> 00:08:41.860
 sorry,

00:08:42.019 --> 00:08:42.699
 so for example,

00:08:42.779 --> 00:08:44.600
 if you've left home to go to university

00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:45.560
 in another place,

00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:47.779
 and then you come home

00:08:47.779 --> 00:08:49.399
 to where your parents were,

00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:50.420
 do you know,

00:08:50.460 --> 00:08:51.920
 it's never quite the same thing

00:08:51.920 --> 00:08:52.920
 as it was before.

00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:53.680
 Right?

00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:55.139
 Anyone experience that?

00:08:56.920 --> 00:08:57.759
 Because you see,

00:08:57.940 --> 00:08:59.320
 they have not experienced

00:08:59.320 --> 00:09:00.200
 what you've experienced.

00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:01.019
 They've not seen

00:09:01.019 --> 00:09:01.899
 what you've experienced,

00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:02.920
 what you've seen.

00:09:03.060 --> 00:09:03.259
 And so,

00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:05.460
 their categories are still like this.

00:09:05.540 --> 00:09:06.420
 And often what they do

00:09:06.420 --> 00:09:07.460
 is try and fit you

00:09:07.460 --> 00:09:08.759
 into their expectations.

00:09:08.980 --> 00:09:09.600
 But you're different.

00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:10.980
 You're changed.

00:09:11.060 --> 00:09:12.480
 And sometimes that can create tension.

00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:14.000
 As many of us know.

00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:17.779
 But that's a little bit like

00:09:17.779 --> 00:09:18.639
 what's actually happening

00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:19.940
 in this passage today.

00:09:20.920 --> 00:09:22.920
 Because Jesus has been

00:09:22.920 --> 00:09:24.600
 this itinerant rabbi.

00:09:24.700 --> 00:09:25.519
 He's left home.

00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:27.259
 He's been an itinerant rabbi

00:09:27.259 --> 00:09:28.460
 preaching, teaching,

00:09:28.800 --> 00:09:29.940
 performing miracles

00:09:29.940 --> 00:09:31.460
 all over Israel.

00:09:32.779 --> 00:09:34.899
 And crowds have been flocking to him.

00:09:36.019 --> 00:09:37.340
 And he's been preaching

00:09:37.340 --> 00:09:38.279
 some of the parables

00:09:38.279 --> 00:09:39.519
 that we've looked at

00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:40.620
 over the last few weeks.

00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:40.840
 You know,

00:09:40.860 --> 00:09:42.100
 the parable of the sower,

00:09:42.100 --> 00:09:43.500
 the parable of the mustard seed,

00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:44.500
 the parable of the leaven,

00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:45.560
 the parable of the weeds

00:09:45.560 --> 00:09:46.019
 and the wheat,

00:09:46.259 --> 00:09:47.259
 the parable of the pearl

00:09:47.259 --> 00:09:48.060
 of great price

00:09:48.060 --> 00:09:48.600
 and the fish.

00:09:48.860 --> 00:09:49.840
 We've seen all of these

00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:50.480
 different power,

00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:51.759
 these parables.

00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:52.420
 And he's been talking

00:09:52.420 --> 00:09:53.659
 about the kingdom of God

00:09:53.659 --> 00:09:55.620
 and how it's upside down.

00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:56.120
 It's different

00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:57.300
 from what you think it is.

00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:00.800
 And now he is going

00:10:00.800 --> 00:10:01.480
 to experience

00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:02.279
 and embody

00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:03.399
 that very principle

00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:04.500
 of what he's been teaching.

00:10:06.100 --> 00:10:07.139
 Because he comes back

00:10:07.139 --> 00:10:08.540
 to his hometown of Nazareth,

00:10:08.660 --> 00:10:09.360
 which is a bit like

00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:10.240
 the Shemshu Po

00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:12.519
 or the Shemshu of Hong Kong.

00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:14.220
 It was a place

00:10:14.220 --> 00:10:15.279
 where people looked down

00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:16.820
 on it in many ways.

00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:17.399
 There was about

00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:18.560
 three to four hundred people

00:10:18.560 --> 00:10:19.060
 lived there.

00:10:19.740 --> 00:10:20.879
 It was a poor,

00:10:21.060 --> 00:10:22.019
 peasant town.

00:10:22.500 --> 00:10:24.320
 Nothing much going on.

00:10:24.580 --> 00:10:25.379
 But everyone knew

00:10:25.379 --> 00:10:26.419
 everyone in this town.

00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:29.180
 If you worked in the village,

00:10:29.379 --> 00:10:30.399
 you married in the village,

00:10:30.580 --> 00:10:31.680
 you died in the village.

00:10:33.379 --> 00:10:34.820
 And Jesus' family

00:10:34.820 --> 00:10:35.659
 was no different.

00:10:36.060 --> 00:10:36.759
 And everyone knew

00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:37.560
 Jesus' family.

00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:38.699
 You know,

00:10:38.739 --> 00:10:39.639
 his dad was in

00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:40.879
 the construction industry.

00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:43.500
 And Jesus would have done,

00:10:43.839 --> 00:10:45.099
 would have also followed suit

00:10:45.099 --> 00:10:46.759
 and been in the same business

00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:48.000
 as a carpenter.

00:10:49.739 --> 00:10:50.219
 And the thing is,

00:10:50.239 --> 00:10:51.199
 life worked

00:10:51.199 --> 00:10:52.639
 how it had always worked.

00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:54.779
 And then one day,

00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:56.319
 Jesus comes back home

00:10:56.319 --> 00:10:57.099
 and he goes

00:10:57.099 --> 00:10:58.159
 into the synagogue

00:10:58.159 --> 00:10:59.199
 where he'd always

00:10:59.199 --> 00:11:00.219
 grown up with,

00:11:00.539 --> 00:11:01.919
 where he looks around

00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:03.500
 and sees all the familiar faces

00:11:03.500 --> 00:11:04.799
 of all the aunties

00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:05.379
 and uncles

00:11:05.379 --> 00:11:06.360
 and the kids

00:11:06.360 --> 00:11:07.320
 that he'd played with

00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:08.600
 and everyone's grown up.

00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:12.500
 And everyone's proud

00:11:12.500 --> 00:11:13.419
 that their little Jesus

00:11:13.419 --> 00:11:14.340
 has come home

00:11:14.340 --> 00:11:15.059
 and he's got himself

00:11:15.059 --> 00:11:16.039
 a respectable job

00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:16.759
 as a rabbi.

00:11:17.379 --> 00:11:18.320
 And it's wonderful.

00:11:20.620 --> 00:11:21.600
 And Luke 4,

00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:23.379
 which is a parallel passage,

00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:24.179
 shows us

00:11:24.179 --> 00:11:25.179
 that actually

00:11:25.179 --> 00:11:26.980
 Jesus gets handed

00:11:26.980 --> 00:11:28.939
 the scroll of Isaiah

00:11:28.940 --> 00:11:30.820
 for him to read

00:11:30.820 --> 00:11:31.500
 as the rabbis

00:11:31.500 --> 00:11:32.360
 would always read.

00:11:32.700 --> 00:11:33.320
 And everyone's

00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:34.820
 waiting for this nice,

00:11:35.220 --> 00:11:36.220
 friendly message

00:11:36.220 --> 00:11:37.060
 that they can all

00:11:37.060 --> 00:11:37.740
 then go home

00:11:37.740 --> 00:11:39.020
 and get on with their lives

00:11:39.020 --> 00:11:40.820
 just as it had always been.

00:11:44.020 --> 00:11:45.040
 But this day,

00:11:45.500 --> 00:11:47.360
 Jesus opens the scroll.

00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:49.400
 He opens the scroll.

00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:52.800
 And it's at Isaiah 61.

00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:56.019
 And Isaiah 61

00:11:56.019 --> 00:11:57.279
 is all about a prophecy

00:11:57.279 --> 00:11:58.859
 of the Messiah,

00:11:59.159 --> 00:12:00.299
 of the great king,

00:12:00.379 --> 00:12:01.059
 the deliverer

00:12:01.059 --> 00:12:01.859
 who's going to come.

00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:02.679
 It says this,

00:12:03.219 --> 00:12:04.439
 The spirit of this Lord

00:12:04.439 --> 00:12:05.299
 is upon me

00:12:05.299 --> 00:12:07.139
 for he has anointed me

00:12:07.139 --> 00:12:08.899
 to proclaim good news

00:12:08.899 --> 00:12:09.559
 to the poor.

00:12:09.899 --> 00:12:10.299
 He sent me

00:12:10.299 --> 00:12:11.759
 to set the captives free.

00:12:12.039 --> 00:12:12.359
 He sent me

00:12:12.359 --> 00:12:13.159
 to open the eyes

00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:13.779
 of the blind.

00:12:14.139 --> 00:12:14.859
 He sent me

00:12:14.859 --> 00:12:16.399
 to be the deliverer

00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:17.120
 who brings

00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:18.719
 the year of the Lord's favor

00:12:18.719 --> 00:12:20.039
 into Israel.

00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:22.419
 this is the passage

00:12:22.419 --> 00:12:23.319
 that everyone

00:12:23.319 --> 00:12:24.459
 has been waiting

00:12:24.459 --> 00:12:25.279
 for this figure.

00:12:25.740 --> 00:12:26.259
 And Jesus

00:12:26.259 --> 00:12:27.879
 closes the scroll

00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:28.620
 and says,

00:12:29.779 --> 00:12:32.939
 This is all about me.

00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:36.659
 I'm fulfilling this

00:12:36.659 --> 00:12:37.740
 today in your presence.

00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:38.399
 I'm here.

00:12:42.759 --> 00:12:44.019
 And it says

00:12:44.019 --> 00:12:46.259
 they were astonished.

00:12:46.259 --> 00:12:50.700
 And in the Luke passage

00:12:50.700 --> 00:12:51.080
 it says

00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:52.600
 the words were gracious.

00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:54.399
 They heard something.

00:12:54.659 --> 00:12:55.840
 Jesus is now

00:12:55.840 --> 00:12:57.700
 blowing their categories

00:12:57.700 --> 00:12:58.319
 apart

00:12:58.319 --> 00:12:59.200
 of what they were

00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:00.539
 to expect in their life.

00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:01.819
 He's disrupting

00:13:01.819 --> 00:13:02.639
 the whole way

00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:03.519
 their operating

00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:04.720
 and thinking system

00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:05.779
 worked at that moment.

00:13:07.100 --> 00:13:07.360
 You know,

00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:08.480
 the same word

00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:08.960
 astonished

00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:09.500
 is actually used

00:13:09.500 --> 00:13:09.799
 at the end

00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:10.299
 of the Sermon

00:13:10.299 --> 00:13:10.960
 of the Mount

00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:12.159
 where it says

00:13:12.159 --> 00:13:14.080
 Jesus finished teaching

00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:14.960
 and the crowds

00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:16.159
 were astonished

00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:17.379
 because he taught

00:13:17.379 --> 00:13:18.779
 as one who had

00:13:18.779 --> 00:13:19.539
 authority

00:13:19.539 --> 00:13:20.980
 not as the scribes.

00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:22.860
 In other words

00:13:22.860 --> 00:13:25.019
 they're astonished

00:13:25.019 --> 00:13:26.219
 because they can see

00:13:26.219 --> 00:13:27.139
 something in Jesus.

00:13:27.839 --> 00:13:28.600
 They can see

00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:29.860
 Jesus is different

00:13:29.860 --> 00:13:31.199
 from every other

00:13:31.199 --> 00:13:31.819
 rabbi

00:13:31.819 --> 00:13:32.579
 who has ever

00:13:32.579 --> 00:13:33.199
 come and preached

00:13:33.199 --> 00:13:33.819
 in their synagogue.

00:13:34.539 --> 00:13:35.339
 They can see

00:13:35.339 --> 00:13:36.360
 that he has

00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:37.459
 a depth of wisdom

00:13:37.459 --> 00:13:38.360
 and understanding

00:13:38.360 --> 00:13:38.959
 and he's got

00:13:38.959 --> 00:13:39.620
 this power.

00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:40.519
 They've seen

00:13:40.519 --> 00:13:41.179
 they've heard

00:13:41.179 --> 00:13:42.199
 about the miracles

00:13:42.199 --> 00:13:43.240
 that he's been doing.

00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:44.980
 They know

00:13:44.980 --> 00:13:45.580
 he's got power

00:13:45.580 --> 00:13:46.120
 over sickness

00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:47.200
 power over demons

00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:48.779
 power over nature

00:13:48.779 --> 00:13:49.519
 itself

00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:50.919
 like no one else.

00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:52.120
 He's got this authority

00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:53.620
 and they can see

00:13:53.620 --> 00:13:53.720
 it.

00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:54.720
 They're astonished

00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:55.360
 by him.

00:13:58.620 --> 00:13:59.299
 But you know

00:13:59.299 --> 00:14:00.060
 being astonished

00:14:00.060 --> 00:14:00.560
 at Jesus

00:14:00.560 --> 00:14:01.320
 is not the same

00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:02.039
 as having faith

00:14:02.039 --> 00:14:02.519
 in Jesus.

00:14:04.139 --> 00:14:04.840
 You can be

00:14:04.840 --> 00:14:05.840
 astonished at him

00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:06.519
 you can be

00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:07.460
 amazed at him

00:14:07.460 --> 00:14:08.139
 you can be

00:14:08.139 --> 00:14:09.539
 impressed by him

00:14:09.539 --> 00:14:10.560
 but not put

00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:11.079
 your faith

00:14:11.079 --> 00:14:11.719
 in him.

00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:13.739
 Because right

00:14:13.739 --> 00:14:14.559
 at this moment

00:14:14.559 --> 00:14:17.859
 is a call

00:14:17.859 --> 00:14:18.500
 to faith

00:14:18.500 --> 00:14:19.099
 and faith

00:14:19.099 --> 00:14:19.579
 in Jesus

00:14:19.579 --> 00:14:20.679
 will always

00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:22.119
 confront

00:14:22.119 --> 00:14:22.839
 your categories.

00:14:24.059 --> 00:14:24.959
 It will always

00:14:24.959 --> 00:14:26.059
 turn upside down

00:14:26.059 --> 00:14:26.759
 the way you

00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:27.379
 think life

00:14:27.379 --> 00:14:28.139
 should work.

00:14:30.479 --> 00:14:31.379
 And it's a bit

00:14:31.379 --> 00:14:32.059
 like a jigsaw

00:14:32.059 --> 00:14:32.879
 puzzle which

00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:33.579
 you know

00:14:33.579 --> 00:14:34.759
 somebody's put

00:14:34.759 --> 00:14:35.299
 in the wrong

00:14:35.299 --> 00:14:35.839
 pieces

00:14:35.839 --> 00:14:37.179
 but they think

00:14:37.179 --> 00:14:37.939
 it looks fine.

00:14:38.019 --> 00:14:38.299
 Have you ever

00:14:38.299 --> 00:14:38.619
 had that?

00:14:38.679 --> 00:14:38.939
 I've seen

00:14:38.939 --> 00:14:39.219
 that someone

00:14:39.219 --> 00:14:39.879
 and they go

00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:40.539
 look it's great

00:14:40.539 --> 00:14:40.779
 and you're

00:14:40.779 --> 00:14:41.059
 going hey

00:14:41.059 --> 00:14:41.639
 it's all wrong.

00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:42.320
 And so he

00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:43.100
 will pick up

00:14:43.100 --> 00:14:43.600
 the pieces

00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:44.220
 put them

00:14:44.220 --> 00:14:44.679
 back in the

00:14:44.679 --> 00:14:44.860
 box

00:14:44.860 --> 00:14:45.500
 shuffle them

00:14:45.500 --> 00:14:45.960
 and then

00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:46.340
 put them

00:14:46.340 --> 00:14:47.200
 back together

00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:48.600
 and say

00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:48.980
 actually no

00:14:48.980 --> 00:14:49.460
 this is the

00:14:49.460 --> 00:14:50.120
 picture that

00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:50.539
 your life

00:14:50.539 --> 00:14:51.019
 is supposed

00:14:51.019 --> 00:14:51.320
 to be

00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:51.600
 and it's

00:14:51.600 --> 00:14:52.179
 far richer

00:14:52.179 --> 00:14:52.879
 far more

00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:53.299
 beautiful

00:14:53.299 --> 00:14:53.899
 than it

00:14:53.899 --> 00:14:54.960
 ever was

00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:55.419
 before

00:14:55.419 --> 00:14:56.000
 but you

00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:56.740
 cannot know

00:14:56.740 --> 00:14:57.120
 Jesus.

00:14:58.279 --> 00:14:59.080
 You cannot

00:14:59.080 --> 00:14:59.620
 walk by

00:14:59.620 --> 00:15:00.259
 faith

00:15:00.259 --> 00:15:01.639
 without his

00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:02.159
 kingdom

00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:03.399
 reordering

00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:04.240
 your little

00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:04.639
 kingdom.

00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:05.759
 Without

00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:07.100
 you stepping

00:15:07.100 --> 00:15:07.519
 off the

00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:07.840
 throne

00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:08.320
 and allowing

00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:08.960
 him to be

00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:09.220
 on the

00:15:09.220 --> 00:15:09.580
 throne of

00:15:09.580 --> 00:15:10.180
 your life

00:15:10.180 --> 00:15:11.480
 and that's

00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:11.980
 challenging.

00:15:13.820 --> 00:15:14.160
 And so

00:15:14.160 --> 00:15:14.580
 this

00:15:14.580 --> 00:15:15.540
 at this

00:15:15.540 --> 00:15:15.960
 moment

00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:16.580
 where Jesus

00:15:16.580 --> 00:15:17.160
 says this

00:15:17.160 --> 00:15:17.639
 is about

00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:18.240
 me

00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:20.000
 these

00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:21.060
 expectations

00:15:21.060 --> 00:15:22.480
 instead of

00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:23.379
 this hometown

00:15:23.379 --> 00:15:24.340
 welcoming

00:15:24.340 --> 00:15:25.480
 and saying

00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:26.200
 Jesus

00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:27.259
 yet we want

00:15:27.259 --> 00:15:27.720
 to follow

00:15:27.720 --> 00:15:27.920
 you

00:15:27.920 --> 00:15:28.259
 that's

00:15:28.259 --> 00:15:28.879
 amazing

00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:33.420
 they turn

00:15:33.420 --> 00:15:33.940
 around to him

00:15:33.940 --> 00:15:34.620
 and they say

00:15:34.620 --> 00:15:36.120
 who do you

00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:36.799
 think you

00:15:36.799 --> 00:15:37.299
 are?

00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:38.679
 They go

00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:39.980
 where did

00:15:39.980 --> 00:15:40.720
 this man

00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:41.480
 get this

00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:43.039
 wisdom

00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:43.720
 and mighty

00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:44.240
 works?

00:15:44.539 --> 00:15:45.019
 Isn't he

00:15:45.019 --> 00:15:45.940
 the carpenter's

00:15:45.940 --> 00:15:46.200
 son?

00:15:46.659 --> 00:15:47.139
 We know

00:15:47.139 --> 00:15:47.720
 his mom

00:15:47.720 --> 00:15:48.840
 we know

00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:49.320
 his brothers

00:15:49.320 --> 00:15:49.940
 and sisters

00:15:49.940 --> 00:15:51.060
 in fact

00:15:51.060 --> 00:15:52.000
 they live

00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:52.700
 next door

00:15:52.700 --> 00:15:53.960
 in fact

00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:54.519
 my little

00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:54.899
 Ricky

00:15:54.899 --> 00:15:55.820
 played with

00:15:55.820 --> 00:15:56.220
 him when

00:15:56.220 --> 00:15:56.620
 he was a

00:15:56.620 --> 00:15:56.899
 kid

00:15:56.899 --> 00:15:57.940
 who does

00:15:57.940 --> 00:15:58.680
 he think

00:15:58.680 --> 00:15:59.639
 he is

00:15:59.639 --> 00:16:01.519
 to try

00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:02.500
 and be

00:16:02.500 --> 00:16:03.120
 somebody

00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:05.539
 when we

00:16:05.539 --> 00:16:05.960
 know

00:16:05.960 --> 00:16:06.379
 what he

00:16:06.379 --> 00:16:06.919
 is.

00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:10.019
 You know

00:16:10.019 --> 00:16:10.519
 it's like

00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:11.720
 John 1

00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:12.039
 11

00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:13.399
 says this

00:16:13.399 --> 00:16:13.879
 it says

00:16:13.879 --> 00:16:14.620
 Jesus

00:16:14.620 --> 00:16:15.220
 came to

00:16:15.220 --> 00:16:15.720
 his own

00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:16.919
 but his

00:16:16.919 --> 00:16:17.279
 own

00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:17.720
 did not

00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:18.439
 receive him.

00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:20.860
 His own

00:16:20.860 --> 00:16:21.879
 is both

00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:22.379
 Nazareth

00:16:22.379 --> 00:16:22.980
 his hometown

00:16:22.980 --> 00:16:23.960
 but it's also

00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:24.620
 us as

00:16:24.620 --> 00:16:25.159
 humanity.

00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:27.200
 He came

00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:27.819
 we are

00:16:27.819 --> 00:16:28.159
 God's

00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:28.700
 creation

00:16:28.700 --> 00:16:29.500
 and Jesus

00:16:29.500 --> 00:16:30.440
 comes down

00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:31.399
 to us

00:16:31.399 --> 00:16:32.279
 he moves

00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:33.120
 into our

00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:33.679
 neighborhood

00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:34.620
 as we

00:16:34.620 --> 00:16:35.279
 will celebrate

00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:35.879
 at Christmas

00:16:35.879 --> 00:16:36.399
 time

00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:38.220
 by becoming

00:16:38.220 --> 00:16:38.740
 human

00:16:38.740 --> 00:16:39.320
 by becoming

00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:39.879
 flesh

00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:40.720
 and blood

00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:41.799
 just like

00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:42.679
 you and

00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:43.100
 me

00:16:43.100 --> 00:16:44.799
 who wears

00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:45.360
 nappies

00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:45.779
 and all

00:16:45.779 --> 00:16:46.159
 that other

00:16:46.159 --> 00:16:46.700
 stuff that

00:16:46.700 --> 00:16:47.100
 we go

00:16:47.100 --> 00:16:47.440
 through

00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:48.080
 and he

00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:48.799
 comes to

00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:49.399
 join us

00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:49.740
 in the

00:16:49.740 --> 00:16:49.980
 very

00:16:49.980 --> 00:16:50.840
 ordinariness

00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:51.340
 of our

00:16:51.340 --> 00:16:51.740
 existence

00:16:51.740 --> 00:16:52.440
 though he

00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:53.279
 is the

00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:53.940
 creator

00:16:53.940 --> 00:16:54.460
 God

00:16:54.460 --> 00:16:55.080
 himself

00:16:55.080 --> 00:16:56.460
 at that

00:16:56.460 --> 00:16:56.940
 very

00:16:56.940 --> 00:16:57.539
 miracle

00:16:57.539 --> 00:16:58.259
 which is

00:16:58.259 --> 00:16:59.039
 mind-blowing

00:16:59.039 --> 00:16:59.919
 of every

00:16:59.919 --> 00:17:00.500
 category

00:17:00.500 --> 00:17:01.319
 that very

00:17:01.319 --> 00:17:01.860
 mind-blowing

00:17:01.860 --> 00:17:02.699
 miracle

00:17:02.699 --> 00:17:03.159
 that he

00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:03.860
 could become

00:17:03.860 --> 00:17:05.159
 like us

00:17:05.159 --> 00:17:06.099
 can be

00:17:06.099 --> 00:17:06.819
 the very

00:17:06.819 --> 00:17:07.579
 blinder

00:17:07.579 --> 00:17:08.759
 that stops

00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:09.180
 us from

00:17:09.180 --> 00:17:09.639
 seeing

00:17:09.639 --> 00:17:10.339
 who he

00:17:10.339 --> 00:17:11.159
 really is

00:17:11.159 --> 00:17:14.259
 because you

00:17:14.259 --> 00:17:14.759
 see for

00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:15.500
 the people

00:17:15.500 --> 00:17:16.180
 of Nazareth

00:17:16.180 --> 00:17:17.039
 he's just

00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:17.500
 like them

00:17:17.500 --> 00:17:19.019
 they cannot

00:17:19.019 --> 00:17:19.759
 see that

00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:20.319
 God has

00:17:20.319 --> 00:17:20.799
 come into

00:17:20.799 --> 00:17:21.399
 their midst

00:17:21.399 --> 00:17:22.879
 for them

00:17:22.879 --> 00:17:23.680
 the one

00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:24.200
 who's got

00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:24.659
 supreme

00:17:24.659 --> 00:17:25.180
 authority

00:17:25.180 --> 00:17:25.700
 the king

00:17:25.700 --> 00:17:26.139
 of God's

00:17:26.139 --> 00:17:26.519
 kingdom

00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:27.740
 doesn't

00:17:27.740 --> 00:17:27.940
 wear

00:17:27.940 --> 00:17:28.440
 nappies

00:17:28.440 --> 00:17:29.599
 he doesn't

00:17:29.599 --> 00:17:30.059
 play with

00:17:30.059 --> 00:17:30.700
 our kids

00:17:30.700 --> 00:17:31.759
 he doesn't

00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:32.039
 make

00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:32.480
 Ikea

00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:32.980
 furniture

00:17:32.980 --> 00:17:33.359
 for the

00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:33.700
 Galilee

00:17:33.700 --> 00:17:34.259
 store

00:17:34.259 --> 00:17:38.000
 so even

00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:38.539
 though they

00:17:38.539 --> 00:17:39.660
 see his

00:17:39.660 --> 00:17:40.259
 glory

00:17:40.259 --> 00:17:41.180
 they see

00:17:41.180 --> 00:17:42.359
 some power

00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:43.059
 they see

00:17:43.059 --> 00:17:43.480
 something

00:17:43.480 --> 00:17:44.119
 different

00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:44.920
 and unique

00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:45.680
 about him

00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:47.720
 the barriers

00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:48.160
 in their

00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:48.519
 minds

00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:48.759
 their

00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:49.859
 expectations

00:17:49.859 --> 00:17:50.879
 prevent

00:17:50.879 --> 00:17:51.480
 them

00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:52.860
 from

00:17:52.860 --> 00:17:53.519
 accepting

00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:54.160
 him

00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:55.460
 and seeing

00:17:55.460 --> 00:17:55.720
 him

00:17:55.720 --> 00:17:56.019
 for who

00:17:56.019 --> 00:17:56.140
 he

00:17:56.140 --> 00:17:56.440
 truly

00:17:56.440 --> 00:17:57.000
 is

00:17:57.000 --> 00:18:01.120
 you know

00:18:01.120 --> 00:18:01.460
 we've seen

00:18:01.460 --> 00:18:01.900
 this actually

00:18:01.900 --> 00:18:02.299
 before

00:18:02.299 --> 00:18:02.660
 with the

00:18:02.660 --> 00:18:03.360
 Pharisees

00:18:03.360 --> 00:18:04.519
 you know

00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:05.120
 the Pharisees

00:18:05.120 --> 00:18:05.599
 it wasn't

00:18:05.599 --> 00:18:06.299
 his familiarity

00:18:06.299 --> 00:18:07.019
 that was the

00:18:07.019 --> 00:18:07.299
 issue

00:18:07.299 --> 00:18:08.059
 it was that

00:18:08.059 --> 00:18:08.420
 he didn't

00:18:08.420 --> 00:18:08.860
 play along

00:18:08.860 --> 00:18:09.180
 with their

00:18:09.180 --> 00:18:09.680
 agenda

00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:10.539
 do you

00:18:10.539 --> 00:18:10.680
 remember

00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:10.900
 they had

00:18:10.900 --> 00:18:11.140
 all these

00:18:11.140 --> 00:18:11.480
 system

00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:12.099
 of laws

00:18:12.099 --> 00:18:12.740
 and of

00:18:12.740 --> 00:18:13.120
 ways

00:18:13.120 --> 00:18:13.319
 of

00:18:13.319 --> 00:18:13.860
 righteousness

00:18:13.860 --> 00:18:14.819
 that they

00:18:14.819 --> 00:18:15.319
 thought would

00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:15.980
 bring in

00:18:15.980 --> 00:18:16.319
 God's

00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:16.640
 kingdom

00:18:16.640 --> 00:18:17.740
 and so

00:18:17.740 --> 00:18:18.180
 when Jesus

00:18:18.180 --> 00:18:18.799
 came in

00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:19.599
 and he ate

00:18:19.599 --> 00:18:20.099
 with tax

00:18:20.099 --> 00:18:20.480
 collectors

00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:21.079
 and sinners

00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:22.919
 it was like

00:18:22.919 --> 00:18:24.460
 a godly

00:18:24.460 --> 00:18:24.939
 person would

00:18:24.939 --> 00:18:25.299
 never do

00:18:25.299 --> 00:18:25.939
 that

00:18:25.939 --> 00:18:26.720
 you see

00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:27.199
 he's breaking

00:18:27.199 --> 00:18:28.079
 their categories

00:18:28.079 --> 00:18:30.500
 and so

00:18:30.500 --> 00:18:31.419
 they rejected

00:18:31.419 --> 00:18:31.879
 him

00:18:31.879 --> 00:18:34.679
 do you see

00:18:34.679 --> 00:18:34.960
 what it's

00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:35.460
 telling us

00:18:35.460 --> 00:18:35.960
 it's telling

00:18:35.960 --> 00:18:36.379
 us that

00:18:36.379 --> 00:18:36.879
 actually

00:18:36.879 --> 00:18:38.980
 the kingdom

00:18:38.980 --> 00:18:39.740
 of God

00:18:39.740 --> 00:18:40.939
 can be so

00:18:40.939 --> 00:18:41.539
 close

00:18:41.539 --> 00:18:42.019
 and so

00:18:42.019 --> 00:18:42.659
 present

00:18:42.659 --> 00:18:43.679
 to us

00:18:43.679 --> 00:18:44.119
 and yet

00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:44.559
 we can

00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:45.299
 miss it

00:18:45.299 --> 00:18:46.279
 by the

00:18:46.279 --> 00:18:46.619
 very

00:18:46.619 --> 00:18:47.639
 expectations

00:18:47.639 --> 00:18:48.980
 and habits

00:18:48.980 --> 00:18:49.759
 and behaviors

00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:50.399
 that we have

00:18:50.399 --> 00:18:50.919
 grown up

00:18:50.920 --> 00:18:51.100
 with

00:18:51.100 --> 00:18:51.519
 that we

00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:51.880
 don't

00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:52.160
 think

00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:52.519
 Jesus

00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:52.860
 should

00:18:52.860 --> 00:18:53.240
 act

00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:54.220
 or work

00:18:54.220 --> 00:18:54.480
 in a

00:18:54.480 --> 00:18:54.740
 way

00:18:54.740 --> 00:18:55.519
 that he

00:18:55.519 --> 00:18:55.779
 really

00:18:55.779 --> 00:18:56.240
 does

00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:57.480
 so

00:18:57.480 --> 00:18:57.640
 what

00:18:57.640 --> 00:18:57.900
 happens

00:18:57.900 --> 00:18:58.360
 they see

00:18:58.360 --> 00:18:58.660
 but they

00:18:58.660 --> 00:18:58.880
 don't

00:18:58.880 --> 00:18:59.220
 see

00:18:59.220 --> 00:19:02.060
 do you know

00:19:02.060 --> 00:19:02.680
 if you are

00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:03.340
 if you are

00:19:03.340 --> 00:19:03.720
 not a

00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:04.080
 Christian

00:19:04.080 --> 00:19:08.000
 Jesus

00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:08.519
 doesn't

00:19:08.519 --> 00:19:08.840
 want

00:19:08.840 --> 00:19:10.039
 Jesus

00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:10.360
 doesn't

00:19:10.360 --> 00:19:10.660
 want to

00:19:10.660 --> 00:19:11.160
 just add

00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:11.539
 you onto

00:19:11.539 --> 00:19:12.140
 your life

00:19:12.140 --> 00:19:12.800
 have a

00:19:12.800 --> 00:19:13.080
 little bit

00:19:13.080 --> 00:19:13.480
 of Jesus

00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:13.920
 here

00:19:13.920 --> 00:19:14.759
 kind of

00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:14.980
 make

00:19:14.980 --> 00:19:15.539
 your life

00:19:15.539 --> 00:19:15.759
 a little

00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:16.060
 better

00:19:16.059 --> 00:19:17.659
 he

00:19:17.659 --> 00:19:17.940
 actually

00:19:17.940 --> 00:19:18.240
 wants

00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:18.419
 to

00:19:18.419 --> 00:19:19.000
 totally

00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:19.779
 turn

00:19:19.779 --> 00:19:20.079
 upside

00:19:20.079 --> 00:19:20.359
 down

00:19:20.359 --> 00:19:20.500
 your

00:19:20.500 --> 00:19:20.980
 categories

00:19:20.980 --> 00:19:22.480
 so that

00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:22.980
 you see

00:19:22.980 --> 00:19:23.559
 he's the

00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:23.799
 one who

00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:24.059
 calls

00:19:24.059 --> 00:19:24.720
 the shots

00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:26.039
 and you

00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:26.179
 see

00:19:26.179 --> 00:19:26.519
 actually

00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:27.039
 his way

00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:27.359
 of living

00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:27.799
 life

00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:28.240
 is way

00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:28.480
 better

00:19:28.480 --> 00:19:28.659
 than

00:19:28.659 --> 00:19:29.039
 ours

00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:30.399
 that's

00:19:30.399 --> 00:19:30.519
 what

00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:30.599
 he

00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:30.759
 wants

00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:31.059
 to do

00:19:31.059 --> 00:19:31.179
 in

00:19:31.179 --> 00:19:31.279
 your

00:19:31.279 --> 00:19:31.700
 life

00:19:31.700 --> 00:19:32.220
 that's

00:19:32.220 --> 00:19:32.319
 what

00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:32.419
 he

00:19:32.419 --> 00:19:32.579
 wants

00:19:32.579 --> 00:19:32.700
 to

00:19:32.700 --> 00:19:32.799
 do

00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:32.899
 in

00:19:32.899 --> 00:19:33.079
 my

00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:33.419
 life

00:19:33.419 --> 00:19:33.879
 and

00:19:33.879 --> 00:19:34.099
 it's

00:19:34.099 --> 00:19:34.579
 scary

00:19:34.579 --> 00:19:36.419
 it's

00:19:36.419 --> 00:19:36.859
 scary

00:19:36.859 --> 00:19:39.199
 because

00:19:39.199 --> 00:19:39.399
 here

00:19:39.399 --> 00:19:39.539
 the

00:19:39.539 --> 00:19:39.899
 people

00:19:39.899 --> 00:19:40.240
 they

00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:40.479
 see

00:19:40.479 --> 00:19:40.639
 but

00:19:40.639 --> 00:19:40.759
 they

00:19:40.759 --> 00:19:41.000
 don't

00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:41.179
 see

00:19:41.179 --> 00:19:41.339
 they

00:19:41.339 --> 00:19:41.579
 hear

00:19:41.579 --> 00:19:41.719
 but

00:19:41.719 --> 00:19:41.839
 they

00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:42.079
 don't

00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:42.439
 hear

00:19:42.439 --> 00:19:42.979
 and

00:19:42.979 --> 00:19:43.159
 it

00:19:43.159 --> 00:19:43.599
 says

00:19:43.599 --> 00:19:44.339
 they

00:19:44.339 --> 00:19:44.839
 took

00:19:44.839 --> 00:19:45.859
 offense

00:19:45.859 --> 00:19:46.359
 at

00:19:46.359 --> 00:19:46.740
 him

00:19:46.740 --> 00:19:48.639
 you

00:19:48.639 --> 00:19:48.719
 know

00:19:48.719 --> 00:19:48.939
 that's

00:19:48.939 --> 00:19:49.159
 actually

00:19:49.159 --> 00:19:49.479
 a

00:19:49.479 --> 00:19:49.699
 Greek

00:19:49.699 --> 00:19:49.959
 word

00:19:49.959 --> 00:19:50.119
 which

00:19:50.119 --> 00:19:50.240
 is

00:19:50.240 --> 00:19:50.359
 the

 word

00:19:50.500 --> 00:19:51.479
 scandalon

00:19:51.479 --> 00:19:51.859

00:19:51.859 --> 00:19:52.000
 is

00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:52.279
 actually

00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:52.459
 where

00:19:52.459 --> 00:19:52.579
 we

00:19:52.579 --> 00:19:52.699
 get

00:19:52.699 --> 00:19:53.299
 scandal

00:19:53.299 --> 00:19:54.000
 from

00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:54.439
 it's

00:19:54.439 --> 00:19:54.619
 actually

00:19:54.619 --> 00:19:54.799
 a

00:19:54.799 --> 00:19:55.119
 word

00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:55.679
 which

00:19:55.679 --> 00:19:56.099
 means

00:19:56.099 --> 00:19:56.299
 like

00:19:56.299 --> 00:19:56.459
 an

00:19:56.459 --> 00:19:57.179
 obstacle

00:19:57.179 --> 00:19:57.679
 something

00:19:57.679 --> 00:19:57.919
 in

00:19:57.919 --> 00:19:58.039
 your

 path

00:19:58.539 --> 00:19:59.139
 in

 your

 way

00:19:59.519 --> 00:19:59.740
 which

00:19:59.740 --> 00:20:00.359
 leads

00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:00.519
 you

00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:00.659
 to

 take

00:20:00.979 --> 00:20:01.299
 the

 wrong

00:20:01.619 --> 00:20:02.359
 path

00:20:02.359 --> 00:20:03.939
 leads

00:20:03.939 --> 00:20:04.039
 you

00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:04.159
 to

00:20:04.159 --> 00:20:04.359
 go

00:20:04.359 --> 00:20:04.659
 away

00:20:04.659 --> 00:20:04.879
 from

00:20:04.879 --> 00:20:05.139
 where

00:20:05.139 --> 00:20:05.359
 you

00:20:05.359 --> 00:20:05.699
 should

00:20:05.699 --> 00:20:05.879
 be

00:20:05.879 --> 00:20:06.339
 going

00:20:06.339 --> 00:20:08.079
 it's

00:20:08.079 --> 00:20:08.139
 a

00:20:08.139 --> 00:20:08.219
 bit

00:20:08.219 --> 00:20:08.479
 like

00:20:08.479 --> 00:20:09.359
 if

00:20:09.359 --> 00:20:09.439
 you

00:20:09.439 --> 00:20:09.599
 have

00:20:09.599 --> 00:20:10.959
 some

00:20:10.959 --> 00:20:11.579
 adventurer

00:20:11.579 --> 00:20:11.779
 who

00:20:11.779 --> 00:20:11.959
 gets

00:20:11.959 --> 00:20:12.259
 lost

00:20:12.259 --> 00:20:12.439
 in

00:20:12.439 --> 00:20:12.559
 the

00:20:12.559 --> 00:20:12.899
 jungle

00:20:12.899 --> 00:20:13.579
 and

00:20:13.579 --> 00:20:13.699
 then

00:20:13.699 --> 00:20:13.959
 suddenly

00:20:13.959 --> 00:20:14.619
 afterwards

00:20:14.619 --> 00:20:16.579
 they

00:20:16.579 --> 00:20:17.199
 come

00:20:17.199 --> 00:20:17.439
 out

00:20:17.439 --> 00:20:17.519
 of

 the

00:20:17.659 --> 00:20:17.899
 jungle

00:20:17.899 --> 00:20:18.019
 and

00:20:18.019 --> 00:20:18.139
 they

00:20:18.139 --> 00:20:18.319
 see

00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:18.519
 this

00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:18.879
 path

00:20:18.879 --> 00:20:19.240
 over

00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:19.459
 to

00:20:19.459 --> 00:20:19.659
 where

00:20:19.659 --> 00:20:19.819
 they

00:20:19.819 --> 00:20:20.039
 know

00:20:20.039 --> 00:20:20.179
 they

00:20:20.179 --> 00:20:20.299
 should

00:20:20.299 --> 00:20:20.619
 go

00:20:20.619 --> 00:20:22.539
 but

00:20:22.539 --> 00:20:22.699
 in

00:20:22.699 --> 00:20:23.019
 between

00:20:23.019 --> 00:20:23.339
 there's

00:20:23.339 --> 00:20:23.519
 this

 rope

00:20:23.799 --> 00:20:24.379
 bridge

00:20:24.379 --> 00:20:26.479
 and

00:20:26.479 --> 00:20:26.639
 they

00:20:26.639 --> 00:20:27.059
 go

00:20:27.059 --> 00:20:28.979
 no

00:20:28.979 --> 00:20:29.219
 matter

00:20:29.219 --> 00:20:29.579
 how

00:20:29.579 --> 00:20:29.899
 much

00:20:29.899 --> 00:20:30.039
 you

00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:30.199
 say

00:20:30.199 --> 00:20:30.379
 hey

00:20:30.379 --> 00:20:30.599
 it's

00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:30.919
 safe

00:20:30.919 --> 00:20:31.619
 a

00:20:31.619 --> 00:20:31.979
 thousand

00:20:31.979 --> 00:20:32.359
 people

00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:32.500
 have

00:20:32.500 --> 00:20:32.659
 been

00:20:32.659 --> 00:20:32.979
 over

00:20:32.979 --> 00:20:33.119
 it

00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:33.479
 listen

00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:33.860
 this

00:20:33.860 --> 00:20:34.019
 is

00:20:34.019 --> 00:20:34.180
 the

00:20:34.180 --> 00:20:34.519
 pathway

00:20:34.519 --> 00:20:34.940
 you

00:20:34.940 --> 00:20:35.160
 can

00:20:35.160 --> 00:20:35.539
 trust

00:20:35.539 --> 00:20:35.700
 it

00:20:35.700 --> 00:20:35.839
 with

00:20:35.839 --> 00:20:35.980
 your

00:20:35.980 --> 00:20:36.319
 life

00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:36.779
 they

00:20:36.779 --> 00:20:37.059
 go

00:20:37.059 --> 00:20:37.500
 I

00:20:37.500 --> 00:20:37.680
 don't

00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:37.839
 do

00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:38.039
 rope

00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:38.360
 bridges

00:20:38.360 --> 00:20:39.380
 like

00:20:39.380 --> 00:20:39.620
 that

00:20:39.620 --> 00:20:40.180
 doesn't

00:20:40.180 --> 00:20:40.460
 fit

00:20:40.460 --> 00:20:40.720
 my

00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:41.360
 expectations

00:20:41.360 --> 00:20:41.740
 of how

00:20:41.740 --> 00:20:41.980
 life

00:20:41.980 --> 00:20:42.180
 should

00:20:42.180 --> 00:20:42.539
 work

00:20:42.539 --> 00:20:43.220
 okay

00:20:43.220 --> 00:20:43.740
 let me

00:20:43.740 --> 00:20:44.000
 find

00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:44.120
 an

00:20:44.120 --> 00:20:44.539
 alternative

00:20:44.539 --> 00:20:44.980
 route

00:20:44.980 --> 00:20:45.259
 that I

00:20:45.259 --> 00:20:45.400
 can

00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:45.599
 go

00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:46.019
 around

00:20:46.019 --> 00:20:46.880
 and

00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:47.019
 what

00:20:47.019 --> 00:20:47.400
 happens

00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:47.640
 is

00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:48.000
 they

00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:48.240
 go

00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:48.480
 off

00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:48.579
 and

00:20:48.579 --> 00:20:48.680
 they

00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:48.900
 try

00:20:48.900 --> 00:20:49.019
 and

00:20:49.019 --> 00:20:49.240
 find

00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:49.500
 another

00:20:49.500 --> 00:20:49.680
 route

00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:49.779
 and

00:20:49.779 --> 00:20:49.880
 they

00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:50.039
 just

00:20:50.039 --> 00:20:50.240
 stay

00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:50.480
 lost

00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:50.599
 in

00:20:50.599 --> 00:20:50.720
 the

 jungle

00:20:51.019 --> 00:20:53.180
 you

00:20:53.180 --> 00:20:53.339
 see

00:20:53.339 --> 00:20:53.900
 faith

00:20:53.900 --> 00:20:55.120
 in

00:20:55.120 --> 00:20:55.720
 Christ

00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:58.220
 is

00:20:58.220 --> 00:20:58.360
 a

00:20:58.360 --> 00:20:58.839
 call

00:20:58.839 --> 00:20:59.559
 to

00:20:59.559 --> 00:20:59.900
 actually

00:20:59.900 --> 00:21:00.319
 step

00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:00.539
 onto

 the

 bridge

00:21:01.159 --> 00:21:01.559

00:21:01.559 --> 00:21:01.940
 realize

00:21:01.940 --> 00:21:02.139
 that

00:21:02.139 --> 00:21:02.339
 he's

00:21:02.339 --> 00:21:02.740
 stronger

00:21:02.740 --> 00:21:03.059
 and

00:21:03.059 --> 00:21:03.500
 safer

00:21:03.500 --> 00:21:03.759
 and

00:21:24.259 --> 00:21:24.700
 cliff

00:21:24.700 --> 00:21:25.359
 and

00:21:25.359 --> 00:21:25.460
 he

00:21:25.460 --> 00:21:25.639
 ends

00:21:25.639 --> 00:21:25.799
 up

00:21:25.799 --> 00:21:26.539
 quoting

00:21:30.539 --> 00:21:32.599
 his

00:21:32.599 --> 00:21:33.159
 hometown

00:21:33.159 --> 00:21:34.240

00:21:41.619 --> 00:21:42.019
 home

00:21:42.019 --> 00:21:42.960
 because

 people

00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:43.779
 are

 he

 really

00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:46.559
 is

00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:48.799

00:21:48.940 --> 00:21:49.059
 know

00:21:49.059 --> 00:21:49.519
 that's

00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:50.319
 heartbreaking

00:21:50.319 --> 00:21:50.680
 isn't

00:21:50.680 --> 00:21:50.819
 it

00:21:50.819 --> 00:21:50.960
 if

00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:51.279
 you're

00:21:51.279 --> 00:21:51.899
 and

00:21:51.899 --> 00:21:52.059
 some

00:21:52.059 --> 00:21:52.159
 of

00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:52.779
 experienced

00:21:52.779 --> 00:21:53.059
 that

00:21:53.059 --> 00:21:53.420
 actually

00:21:53.420 --> 00:21:54.299
 you've

00:21:54.299 --> 00:21:54.819
 experienced

00:21:54.819 --> 00:21:55.180
 actually

00:21:55.180 --> 00:21:55.359
 the

00:21:55.359 --> 00:21:55.680
 pain

00:21:55.680 --> 00:21:55.859
 of

00:21:55.859 --> 00:21:56.319
 rejection

00:21:56.319 --> 00:21:56.559
 at

00:21:56.899 --> 00:21:57.940
 you've

00:21:57.940 --> 00:21:58.420
 experienced

00:21:58.420 --> 00:21:58.639
 the

00:21:58.639 --> 00:21:58.980
 place

00:21:58.980 --> 00:21:59.319
 where

00:21:59.319 --> 00:21:59.500
 it

00:21:59.500 --> 00:21:59.639
 should

00:21:59.639 --> 00:21:59.759
 be

00:21:59.759 --> 00:21:59.940
 the

00:21:59.940 --> 00:22:00.240
 safest

00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:00.539
 but

00:22:00.539 --> 00:22:00.740
 can

00:22:00.740 --> 00:22:00.859
 be

00:22:00.859 --> 00:22:01.000
 the

00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:01.259
 greatest

00:22:01.259 --> 00:22:01.779
 pain

00:22:01.779 --> 00:22:03.680
 you

00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:03.759
 know

00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:04.019
 sometimes

00:22:04.019 --> 00:22:04.339
 sharing

00:22:04.339 --> 00:22:04.480
 the

00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:04.759
 gospel

00:22:04.759 --> 00:22:04.960
 in

00:22:04.960 --> 00:22:05.079
 your

00:22:05.079 --> 00:22:05.460
 household

00:22:05.460 --> 00:22:05.700
 is

00:22:05.700 --> 00:22:05.940
 actually

00:22:05.940 --> 00:22:06.120
 one

00:22:06.120 --> 00:22:06.200
 of

00:22:06.200 --> 00:22:06.339
 the

00:22:06.339 --> 00:22:06.620
 hardest

00:22:06.620 --> 00:22:07.079
 places

00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:07.359
 to

00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:07.640
 share

00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:08.019
 right

00:22:08.019 --> 00:22:10.380
 and

00:22:10.380 --> 00:22:10.519
 the

00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:10.700
 thing

00:22:10.700 --> 00:22:11.099
 is

00:22:11.099 --> 00:22:12.460
 Jesus

00:22:12.460 --> 00:22:13.160
 understands

00:22:13.160 --> 00:22:13.579
 that

00:22:13.579 --> 00:22:14.880
 if

00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:15.240
 no one

00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:15.440
 else

00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:15.680
 does

00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:15.980
 Jesus

00:22:15.980 --> 00:22:16.500
 gets

00:22:16.500 --> 00:22:17.059
 that

00:22:17.059 --> 00:22:17.779
 because

00:22:17.779 --> 00:22:18.099
 he's

00:22:18.099 --> 00:22:18.880
 experienced

00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:19.400
 it

00:22:19.400 --> 00:22:21.700
 and

00:22:21.700 --> 00:22:21.859
 he

00:22:21.859 --> 00:22:22.500
 understands

00:22:22.500 --> 00:22:22.980
 you

00:22:22.980 --> 00:22:25.680
 which

00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:25.799
 is

00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:25.920
 why

00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:26.079
 he

00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:26.599
 calls

00:22:26.599 --> 00:22:26.940
 to

00:22:28.599 --> 00:22:29.019
 him

00:22:29.019 --> 00:22:29.539
 and

00:22:29.539 --> 00:22:29.680
 it

00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:29.960
 says

00:22:29.960 --> 00:22:30.359
 actually

00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:30.680
 there's

00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:31.019

00:22:31.019 --> 00:22:31.440
 terrifying

00:22:31.440 --> 00:22:31.920
 statement

00:22:31.920 --> 00:22:32.099
 that

00:22:32.099 --> 00:22:32.279
 comes

00:22:32.279 --> 00:22:32.460
 right

00:22:32.460 --> 00:22:32.559
 at

00:22:32.559 --> 00:22:32.660
 the

00:22:32.920 --> 00:22:33.259
 this

00:22:33.259 --> 00:22:34.259
 he

00:22:34.259 --> 00:22:34.500
 says

00:22:34.500 --> 00:22:34.759
 he

00:22:34.759 --> 00:22:35.099
 did

00:22:35.099 --> 00:22:35.379
 not

00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:38.680
 there

00:22:38.680 --> 00:22:39.000
 because

00:22:39.000 --> 00:22:39.160
 of

00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:42.820
 think

00:22:42.820 --> 00:22:43.080
 about

00:22:43.080 --> 00:22:44.299
 God

00:22:44.299 --> 00:22:44.500
 has

00:22:44.500 --> 00:22:44.779
 turned

00:22:44.779 --> 00:22:45.000
 up

00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:45.100
 at

00:22:50.320 --> 00:22:50.539
 isn't

00:22:58.700 --> 00:22:58.860
 the

 him

00:23:19.439 --> 00:23:19.859
 our

00:23:19.859 --> 00:23:20.599
 preconceived

00:23:20.599 --> 00:23:21.159
 notions

00:23:21.159 --> 00:23:21.779
 the

00:23:21.779 --> 00:23:22.559
 cultural

00:23:22.559 --> 00:23:22.799
 and

00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:23.199
 family

00:23:23.199 --> 00:23:23.639
 even

00:23:23.639 --> 00:23:23.959
 some

00:23:23.959 --> 00:23:24.079
 of

00:23:24.079 --> 00:23:24.259
 our

00:23:24.259 --> 00:23:24.719
 religious

00:23:24.719 --> 00:23:25.639
 expectations

00:23:25.639 --> 00:23:25.939
 of

00:23:25.939 --> 00:23:26.219
 how

00:23:26.219 --> 00:23:26.439
 we

00:23:26.439 --> 00:23:26.759
 think

00:23:26.759 --> 00:23:27.019
 God

00:23:27.019 --> 00:23:27.279
 should

00:23:27.279 --> 00:23:27.759
 work

00:23:27.759 --> 00:23:30.199
 and

00:23:30.199 --> 00:23:30.559
 begin

00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:30.899
 to

00:23:30.899 --> 00:23:31.819
 surrender

00:23:31.819 --> 00:23:32.159
 those

00:23:32.159 --> 00:23:32.319
 to

00:23:32.319 --> 00:23:32.500
 him

00:23:32.500 --> 00:23:32.659
 and

00:23:32.659 --> 00:23:33.099
 trust

00:23:33.099 --> 00:23:33.339
 him

00:23:33.339 --> 00:23:33.500
 with

00:23:33.500 --> 00:23:33.659
 our

00:23:33.659 --> 00:23:34.179
 lives

00:23:34.180 --> 00:23:35.620
 and

00:23:35.620 --> 00:23:35.779
 to

00:23:35.779 --> 00:23:36.039
 step

00:23:36.039 --> 00:23:36.279
 on

00:23:36.279 --> 00:23:36.420
 to

00:23:36.420 --> 00:23:36.600
 that

00:23:36.600 --> 00:23:37.220
 bridge

00:23:37.220 --> 00:23:38.400
 because

00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:38.779
 Jesus

00:23:38.779 --> 00:23:39.000
 will

00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:39.160
 not

00:23:39.160 --> 00:23:39.400
 come

00:23:39.400 --> 00:23:39.580
 to

00:23:39.580 --> 00:23:39.740
 us

00:23:39.740 --> 00:23:39.860
 as

00:23:39.860 --> 00:23:40.039
 we

00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:40.320
 want

00:23:40.320 --> 00:23:40.460
 him

00:23:40.460 --> 00:23:40.620
 to

00:23:40.620 --> 00:23:40.759
 be

00:23:40.759 --> 00:23:40.980
 he'll

00:23:40.980 --> 00:23:41.200
 come

00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:41.380
 to

00:23:41.380 --> 00:23:41.560
 him

00:23:41.560 --> 00:23:41.700
 as

00:23:41.700 --> 00:23:41.820
 he

00:23:41.820 --> 00:23:42.060
 really

00:23:42.060 --> 00:23:42.360
 is

00:23:42.360 --> 00:23:42.500
 and

00:23:42.500 --> 00:23:42.620
 who

00:23:42.620 --> 00:23:42.759
 he

00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:42.960
 really

00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:43.140
 is

00:23:43.140 --> 00:23:43.259
 is

00:23:43.259 --> 00:23:43.460
 better

00:23:43.460 --> 00:23:43.620
 than

00:23:43.620 --> 00:23:43.779
 we

00:23:43.779 --> 00:23:44.039
 want

00:23:44.039 --> 00:23:44.180
 him

00:23:44.180 --> 00:23:44.320
 to

00:23:44.320 --> 00:23:44.580
 be

00:23:44.580 --> 00:23:47.620
 you

00:23:47.620 --> 00:23:47.740
 see

00:23:47.740 --> 00:23:47.940
 he's

00:23:47.940 --> 00:23:48.180
 the

00:23:48.180 --> 00:23:48.420
 God

00:23:48.420 --> 00:23:48.560
 of

00:23:48.560 --> 00:23:48.940
 power

00:23:48.940 --> 00:23:49.080
 and

00:23:49.080 --> 00:23:49.539
 authority

00:23:49.539 --> 00:23:49.860
 but

00:23:49.860 --> 00:23:50.000
 he's

00:23:50.000 --> 00:23:50.240
 also

00:23:50.240 --> 00:23:50.759
 humble

00:23:50.759 --> 00:23:51.680
 ordinary

00:23:51.680 --> 00:23:52.299
 and

00:23:52.299 --> 00:23:52.860
 suffering

00:23:52.860 --> 00:23:54.380
 and

00:23:54.380 --> 00:23:54.500
 the

00:23:54.500 --> 00:23:54.820
 question

00:23:54.820 --> 00:23:55.060
 is

00:23:55.060 --> 00:23:55.400
 will

00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:55.640
 we

00:23:55.640 --> 00:23:56.120
 welcome

00:23:56.120 --> 00:23:56.539
 him

00:23:56.539 --> 00:23:57.140
 as

00:23:57.140 --> 00:23:57.400
 who

00:23:57.400 --> 00:23:57.560
 he

00:23:57.560 --> 00:23:57.840
 really

00:23:57.840 --> 00:23:58.340
 is

00:23:58.340 --> 00:23:59.000
 and

00:23:59.000 --> 00:23:59.180
 what

00:23:59.180 --> 00:23:59.380
 he's

00:23:59.380 --> 00:23:59.660
 bringing

00:23:59.660 --> 00:23:59.940
 into

00:23:59.940 --> 00:24:00.140
 our

00:24:00.140 --> 00:24:00.500
 lives

00:24:00.500 --> 00:24:00.920
 and

00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:01.160
 let

00:24:01.160 --> 00:24:01.279
 him

00:24:01.279 --> 00:24:01.420
 be

00:24:01.420 --> 00:24:01.759
 Lord

00:24:01.759 --> 00:24:02.019
 or

00:24:02.019 --> 00:24:02.160
 do

00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:02.299
 we

00:24:02.299 --> 00:24:02.539
 leave

00:24:02.539 --> 00:24:02.680
 him

00:24:02.680 --> 00:24:02.779
 on

00:24:02.779 --> 00:24:02.900
 the

00:24:02.900 --> 00:24:03.560
 doorstep

00:24:03.560 --> 00:24:05.140
 that's

00:24:05.140 --> 00:24:05.279
 the

00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:05.799
 challenge

00:24:05.799 --> 00:24:06.140
 of

00:24:06.140 --> 00:24:06.320
 this

00:24:06.320 --> 00:24:06.880
 passage

00:24:06.880 --> 00:24:09.400
 that's

00:24:09.400 --> 00:24:09.520
 the

00:24:09.520 --> 00:24:10.200
 unwelcome

00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:11.680
 homecoming

00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:11.920
 that

00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:12.040
 he

00:24:12.040 --> 00:24:12.480
 faces

00:24:12.480 --> 00:24:13.600
 but

00:24:13.600 --> 00:24:13.740
 the

00:24:13.740 --> 00:24:13.960
 second

00:24:13.960 --> 00:24:14.320
 thing

00:24:14.320 --> 00:24:16.020
 is

00:24:16.020 --> 00:24:16.200
 that

00:24:16.200 --> 00:24:16.660
 question

00:24:16.660 --> 00:24:17.380
 to

00:24:17.380 --> 00:24:17.800
 trust

00:24:17.800 --> 00:24:17.980
 or

00:24:17.980 --> 00:24:18.140
 not

00:24:18.140 --> 00:24:18.280
 to

00:24:18.280 --> 00:24:18.660
 trust

00:24:18.660 --> 00:24:18.940
 that

00:24:18.940 --> 00:24:19.080
 is

00:24:19.080 --> 00:24:19.240
 the

00:24:19.240 --> 00:24:19.700
 question

00:24:19.700 --> 00:24:22.960
 you

00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:23.100
 see

00:24:23.100 --> 00:24:23.340
 let me

00:24:23.340 --> 00:24:23.480
 just

00:24:23.480 --> 00:24:23.720
 kind of

00:24:23.720 --> 00:24:23.900
 bring

00:24:23.900 --> 00:24:24.080
 this

00:24:24.080 --> 00:24:24.340
 down

00:24:24.340 --> 00:24:24.480
 a

00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:24.620
 little

00:24:24.620 --> 00:24:24.880
 bit

00:24:24.880 --> 00:24:25.080
 to

00:24:25.080 --> 00:24:25.700
 us

00:24:25.700 --> 00:24:28.860
 and

00:24:28.860 --> 00:24:28.960
 I

00:24:28.960 --> 00:24:29.060
 think

00:24:29.060 --> 00:24:29.200
 this

00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:29.400
 is

00:24:29.400 --> 00:24:30.260
 challenging

00:24:30.260 --> 00:24:31.340
 but

00:24:31.340 --> 00:24:31.540
 also

00:24:31.540 --> 00:24:31.680
 I

00:24:31.680 --> 00:24:31.800
 think

00:24:31.800 --> 00:24:32.340
 encouraging

00:24:32.340 --> 00:24:34.060
 because

00:24:34.060 --> 00:24:34.200
 if

00:24:34.200 --> 00:24:34.320
 we

00:24:34.320 --> 00:24:34.640
 think

00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:34.900
 what

00:24:34.900 --> 00:24:35.040
 are

00:24:35.040 --> 00:24:35.360
 some

00:24:35.360 --> 00:24:35.460
 of

00:24:35.460 --> 00:24:35.560
 the

00:24:35.560 --> 00:24:35.840
 barriers

00:24:35.840 --> 00:24:36.060
 what

00:24:36.060 --> 00:24:36.180
 are

00:24:36.180 --> 00:24:36.320
 some

00:24:36.320 --> 00:24:36.440
 of

00:24:36.440 --> 00:24:36.540
 the

00:24:36.539 --> 00:24:36.980
 things

00:24:36.980 --> 00:24:37.240
 which

00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:37.740
 actually

00:24:37.740 --> 00:24:38.619
 are

00:24:38.619 --> 00:24:38.839
 like

00:24:38.839 --> 00:24:39.059
 that

00:24:39.059 --> 00:24:39.420
 rope

00:24:39.420 --> 00:24:39.839
 bridge

00:24:39.839 --> 00:24:40.039
 in

00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:40.200
 our

00:24:40.200 --> 00:24:40.399
 life

00:24:40.399 --> 00:24:40.500
 or

00:24:40.500 --> 00:24:40.680
 those

00:24:40.680 --> 00:24:41.220
 obstacles

00:24:41.220 --> 00:24:41.500
 that

00:24:41.500 --> 00:24:41.639
 we

00:24:41.639 --> 00:24:41.920
 look

00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:42.079
 at

00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:42.240
 and

00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:42.559
 go

00:24:42.559 --> 00:24:44.680
 I'm

00:24:44.680 --> 00:24:44.839
 not

00:24:44.839 --> 00:24:45.039
 sure

00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:45.200
 whether

00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:45.319
 I

00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:45.460
 can

00:24:45.460 --> 00:24:45.859
 really

00:24:45.859 --> 00:24:46.279
 trust

00:24:46.279 --> 00:24:46.619
 you

00:24:46.619 --> 00:24:47.440
 I

00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:47.539
 want

00:24:47.539 --> 00:24:47.619
 to

00:24:47.619 --> 00:24:47.720
 give

00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:47.799
 you

00:24:47.799 --> 00:24:47.920
 a

00:24:47.920 --> 00:24:48.180
 couple

00:24:48.180 --> 00:24:49.799
 for

00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:50.139
 some

00:24:50.139 --> 00:24:50.319
 of

00:24:50.319 --> 00:24:50.619
 us

00:24:50.619 --> 00:24:51.879
 it's

00:24:51.879 --> 00:24:52.139
 because

00:24:52.139 --> 00:24:52.420
 we've

00:24:52.420 --> 00:24:52.659
 grown

00:24:52.659 --> 00:24:52.879
 up

00:24:52.879 --> 00:24:53.159
 here

00:24:53.159 --> 00:24:53.440
 we've

00:24:53.440 --> 00:24:53.599
 grown

00:24:53.599 --> 00:24:53.759
 up

00:24:53.759 --> 00:24:53.859
 in

00:24:53.859 --> 00:24:54.019
 our

00:24:54.019 --> 00:24:54.480
 families

00:24:54.480 --> 00:24:54.779
 we've

00:24:54.779 --> 00:24:54.980
 grown

00:24:54.980 --> 00:24:55.220
 up

00:24:55.220 --> 00:24:55.460
 with

00:24:55.460 --> 00:24:55.659
 just

00:24:55.659 --> 00:24:55.839
 the

00:24:55.839 --> 00:24:56.359
 cultural

00:24:56.359 --> 00:24:56.700
 ways

00:24:56.700 --> 00:24:56.839
 of

 is

00:26:54.720 --> 00:26:55.240
 God

 that

00:28:02.900 --> 00:28:03.440
 mean

00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:03.940
 that

00:28:03.940 --> 00:28:04.360
 actually

00:28:04.360 --> 00:28:04.840
 you

00:28:05.019 --> 00:28:05.279
 better

00:28:05.279 --> 00:28:05.460

00:28:05.460 --> 00:28:05.600
 I

00:28:05.600 --> 00:28:05.840
 think

00:28:05.840 --> 00:28:06.039
 you

00:28:06.039 --> 00:28:06.319

 didn't

00:28:07.360 --> 00:28:07.920
 realize

00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:08.160
 that

00:28:08.160 --> 00:28:08.400
 actually

00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:08.600
 you

00:28:08.600 --> 00:28:08.840
 had

00:28:08.840 --> 00:28:09.000
 the

00:28:09.000 --> 00:28:09.259
 power

00:28:09.259 --> 00:28:09.440
 to

00:28:09.440 --> 00:28:09.680
 turn

00:28:09.680 --> 00:28:09.880
 around

 a

00:28:10.039 --> 00:28:10.559
 situation

00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:10.779
 when

00:28:10.779 --> 00:28:11.080
 I

00:28:11.080 --> 00:28:11.400
 thought

00:28:11.400 --> 00:28:11.680
 my

00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:12.160
 wisdom

00:28:12.160 --> 00:28:12.360

00:28:12.359 --> 00:28:12.500
 the

00:28:12.500 --> 00:28:12.639
 way

00:28:12.639 --> 00:28:12.879
 things

00:28:12.879 --> 00:28:13.079
 should

00:28:13.079 --> 00:28:13.459
 work

00:28:13.459 --> 00:28:15.459
 and

00:28:15.459 --> 00:28:15.599
 you

00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:15.719
 know

00:28:15.719 --> 00:28:15.879
 what

00:28:15.879 --> 00:28:16.000
 he

00:28:16.000 --> 00:28:16.159
 said

00:28:16.159 --> 00:28:16.399
 I

00:28:16.399 --> 00:28:16.599
 have

00:28:16.599 --> 00:28:16.859
 so

00:28:16.859 --> 00:28:17.079
 much

00:28:17.079 --> 00:28:17.479
 peace

00:28:17.479 --> 00:28:17.779
 now

00:28:17.779 --> 00:28:18.219
 like

00:28:18.219 --> 00:28:18.559
 Sunday

00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:18.899
 morning

00:28:18.899 --> 00:28:19.259
 is a

00:28:19.259 --> 00:28:19.599
 joy

00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:19.839
 to

00:28:19.839 --> 00:28:20.139
 me

00:28:20.139 --> 00:28:22.259
 because

00:28:22.259 --> 00:28:22.559
 I've

00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:22.959
 seen

00:28:22.959 --> 00:28:23.219
 that

00:28:23.219 --> 00:28:23.659
 I

00:28:23.659 --> 00:28:23.879
 can

00:28:23.879 --> 00:28:24.199
 put

00:28:24.199 --> 00:28:24.419
 my

00:28:24.419 --> 00:28:24.719
 foot

00:28:24.719 --> 00:28:24.859
 on

00:28:24.859 --> 00:28:25.039
 that

00:28:25.039 --> 00:28:25.319
 rope

00:28:25.319 --> 00:28:25.599
 bridge

00:28:25.599 --> 00:28:25.719
 and

00:28:25.719 --> 00:28:25.819
 I

00:28:25.819 --> 00:28:26.000
 can

00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:26.479
 trust

00:28:26.479 --> 00:28:27.059
 God

00:28:27.059 --> 00:28:28.159
 because

00:28:28.159 --> 00:28:28.299
 he

00:28:28.299 --> 00:28:28.459
 is

00:28:28.459 --> 00:28:28.899
 faithful

00:28:28.899 --> 00:28:29.359
 and

00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:29.419
 he

00:28:29.419 --> 00:28:29.500
 said

00:28:29.500 --> 00:28:29.619
 it's

00:28:29.619 --> 00:28:29.719
 not

00:28:29.719 --> 00:28:29.899
 about

00:28:29.899 --> 00:28:30.219
 pay

00:28:30.219 --> 00:28:30.740
 rise

00:28:30.740 --> 00:28:31.659
 but

00:28:31.659 --> 00:28:31.740
 I

00:28:31.740 --> 00:28:31.919
 just

00:28:31.919 --> 00:28:32.179
 see

00:28:32.179 --> 00:28:32.500
 God's

00:28:32.500 --> 00:28:33.399
 faithfulness

00:28:33.399 --> 00:28:35.919
 so

00:28:35.919 --> 00:28:36.159
 I

00:28:36.159 --> 00:28:36.379
 think

00:28:36.379 --> 00:28:36.659
 as a

00:28:36.659 --> 00:28:36.919
 church

00:28:36.919 --> 00:28:37.139
 one

00:28:37.139 --> 00:28:37.399
 of the

00:28:37.399 --> 00:28:37.659
 things

00:28:37.659 --> 00:28:37.839
 that

00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:38.119
 is

00:28:38.119 --> 00:28:39.219
 really

00:28:39.220 --> 00:28:39.880
 hard

00:28:39.880 --> 00:28:41.059
 is

00:28:41.059 --> 00:28:41.339
 when

00:28:41.339 --> 00:28:41.819
 life

00:28:41.819 --> 00:28:43.920
 we're

00:28:43.920 --> 00:28:44.360
 competent

00:28:44.360 --> 00:28:44.680
 at

00:28:44.680 --> 00:28:45.059
 life

00:28:45.059 --> 00:28:46.720
 when

00:28:46.720 --> 00:28:46.940
 we're

00:28:46.940 --> 00:28:47.140
 good

00:28:47.140 --> 00:28:47.299
 at

00:28:47.299 --> 00:28:47.539
 doing

00:28:47.539 --> 00:28:48.120
 things

00:28:48.120 --> 00:28:48.600
 I'm

00:28:48.600 --> 00:28:48.720
 not

00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:48.900
 saying

00:28:48.900 --> 00:28:49.319
 we

00:28:49.319 --> 00:28:49.440
 should

00:28:49.440 --> 00:28:49.519
 all

00:28:49.519 --> 00:28:49.620
 be

00:28:49.620 --> 00:28:49.860
 bad

00:28:49.860 --> 00:28:49.980
 at

00:28:49.980 --> 00:28:50.140
 doing

00:28:50.140 --> 00:28:50.579
 things

00:28:50.579 --> 00:28:51.200
 but

00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:51.420
 when

00:28:51.420 --> 00:28:51.600
 you're

00:28:51.600 --> 00:28:51.799
 really

00:28:51.799 --> 00:28:52.319
 competent

00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:52.839
 things

00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:53.299
 when

00:28:53.299 --> 00:28:53.440
 you

00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:53.600
 can

00:28:53.600 --> 00:28:53.759
 be

00:28:53.759 --> 00:28:54.319
 successful

00:28:54.319 --> 00:28:54.539
 at

00:28:54.539 --> 00:28:54.740
 things

00:28:54.740 --> 00:28:54.900
 do

00:28:54.900 --> 00:28:54.980
 you

00:28:54.980 --> 00:28:55.120
 know

00:28:55.120 --> 00:28:55.299
 what

00:28:55.299 --> 00:28:55.460
 we

00:28:55.460 --> 00:28:55.620
 can

00:28:55.620 --> 00:28:55.759
 end

00:28:55.759 --> 00:28:55.900
 up

00:28:55.900 --> 00:28:56.279
 trusting

00:28:56.279 --> 00:28:56.460
 in

00:28:56.460 --> 00:28:56.900
 ourselves

00:28:56.900 --> 00:28:58.720
 and

00:28:58.720 --> 00:28:58.940
 this

00:28:58.940 --> 00:28:59.720
 passage

00:28:59.720 --> 00:29:00.779
 is

00:29:00.779 --> 00:29:00.920
 a

00:29:00.920 --> 00:29:01.299
 passage

00:29:01.299 --> 00:29:01.600
 which

00:29:01.600 --> 00:29:01.799
 is

00:29:01.799 --> 00:29:02.140
 telling

00:29:02.140 --> 00:29:02.559
 us

00:29:02.559 --> 00:29:04.279
 will

00:29:04.279 --> 00:29:04.460
 you

00:29:04.460 --> 00:29:04.740
 take

00:29:04.740 --> 00:29:05.140
 Jesus

00:29:05.140 --> 00:29:05.440
 for

00:29:05.440 --> 00:29:05.660
 who

00:29:05.660 --> 00:29:05.860
 he

00:29:05.860 --> 00:29:06.059
 is

00:29:06.059 --> 00:29:06.259
 not

00:29:06.259 --> 00:29:06.600
 according

00:29:06.600 --> 00:29:06.779
 to

00:29:06.779 --> 00:29:06.980
 your

00:29:06.980 --> 00:29:07.660
 expectations

00:29:07.660 --> 00:29:07.920
 of

00:29:07.920 --> 00:29:08.080
 how

00:29:08.080 --> 00:29:08.240
 you

00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:08.420
 want

00:29:08.420 --> 00:29:08.560
 him

00:29:08.560 --> 00:29:08.680
 to

00:29:08.680 --> 00:29:09.040
 work

00:29:09.040 --> 00:29:09.880
 which

00:29:09.880 --> 00:29:10.440
 means

00:29:10.440 --> 00:29:11.160
 when

00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:11.300
 is

00:29:11.300 --> 00:29:11.440
 the

00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:11.700
 last

00:29:11.700 --> 00:29:11.940
 time

00:29:11.940 --> 00:29:12.100
 you

00:29:12.100 --> 00:29:12.320
 felt

00:29:12.320 --> 00:29:12.800
 scared

00:29:12.800 --> 00:29:13.080
 doing

00:29:13.080 --> 00:29:13.460
 something

00:29:13.460 --> 00:29:13.600
 in

00:29:13.600 --> 00:29:13.900
 obedience

00:29:13.900 --> 00:29:14.140
 to

00:29:14.140 --> 00:29:14.560
 Christ

00:29:14.560 --> 00:29:16.720
 where

00:29:16.720 --> 00:29:16.880
 you're

00:29:16.880 --> 00:29:17.060
 going

00:29:17.060 --> 00:29:17.360
 God

00:29:17.360 --> 00:29:17.500
 if

00:29:17.500 --> 00:29:17.620
 you

00:29:17.620 --> 00:29:17.779
 don't

00:29:17.779 --> 00:29:18.040
 come

00:29:18.040 --> 00:29:18.540
 through

00:29:18.540 --> 00:29:20.240
 I

00:29:20.240 --> 00:29:20.400
 know

00:29:20.400 --> 00:29:20.600
 what's

00:29:20.600 --> 00:29:20.740
 going

00:29:20.740 --> 00:29:20.840
 to

00:29:20.840 --> 00:29:21.240
 happen

00:29:21.240 --> 00:29:23.160
 because

00:29:23.160 --> 00:29:23.320
 if

00:29:23.320 --> 00:29:23.500
 it's

00:29:23.500 --> 00:29:23.640
 a

00:29:23.640 --> 00:29:23.880
 long

00:29:23.880 --> 00:29:24.279
 time

00:29:24.279 --> 00:29:24.480
 then

00:29:24.480 --> 00:29:24.880
 maybe

00:29:24.880 --> 00:29:25.920
 you've

00:29:25.920 --> 00:29:26.120
 actually

00:29:26.120 --> 00:29:26.380
 just

00:29:26.380 --> 00:29:26.700
 been

00:29:26.700 --> 00:29:27.060
 not

00:29:27.060 --> 00:29:27.380
 stepping

00:29:27.380 --> 00:29:27.519
 on

00:29:27.519 --> 00:29:27.640
 the

00:29:27.640 --> 00:29:27.840
 rope

00:29:27.840 --> 00:29:28.060
 bridge

00:29:28.060 --> 00:29:28.200
 of

00:29:28.200 --> 00:29:28.640
 trusting

00:29:28.640 --> 00:29:29.259
 Christ

00:29:29.259 --> 00:29:30.360
 and

00:29:30.360 --> 00:29:30.560
 maybe

00:29:30.560 --> 00:29:30.740
 he's

00:29:30.740 --> 00:29:30.820
 going

00:29:30.820 --> 00:29:30.940
 to

00:29:30.940 --> 00:29:31.240
 call

00:29:31.240 --> 00:29:31.400
 you

00:29:31.400 --> 00:29:31.520
 in

00:29:31.520 --> 00:29:31.660
 an

00:29:31.660 --> 00:29:31.920
 area

00:29:31.920 --> 00:29:32.100
 to

00:29:32.100 --> 00:29:32.500
 trust

00:29:32.500 --> 00:29:32.900
 him

00:29:32.900 --> 00:29:34.340
 so

00:29:34.340 --> 00:29:34.620
 that

00:29:34.620 --> 00:29:34.820
 you

00:29:34.820 --> 00:29:35.040
 can

00:29:35.040 --> 00:29:35.340
 see

00:29:35.340 --> 00:29:35.580
 that

00:29:35.580 --> 00:29:35.740
 he

00:29:35.740 --> 00:29:35.940
 is

00:29:35.940 --> 00:29:36.180
 more

00:29:36.180 --> 00:29:36.640
 safe

00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:37.200
 more

00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:37.600
 good

00:29:37.600 --> 00:29:38.380
 greater

00:29:38.380 --> 00:29:38.660
 than

00:29:38.660 --> 00:29:38.780
 you

00:29:38.780 --> 00:29:38.920
 could

00:29:38.920 --> 00:29:39.180
 ever

00:29:39.180 --> 00:29:39.320
 have

00:29:39.320 --> 00:29:39.800
 imagined

00:29:39.800 --> 00:29:41.960
 because

00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:42.140
 he

00:29:42.140 --> 00:29:42.420
 says

00:29:42.420 --> 00:29:44.380
 they

00:29:44.380 --> 00:29:44.620
 did

00:29:44.620 --> 00:29:44.880
 not

00:29:44.880 --> 00:29:45.340
 do

00:29:45.340 --> 00:29:45.720
 many

00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:46.020
 mighty

00:29:46.020 --> 00:29:46.440
 works

00:29:46.440 --> 00:29:46.820
 because

00:29:46.820 --> 00:29:47.560
 of

00:29:47.560 --> 00:29:47.860
 their

00:29:47.860 --> 00:29:48.759
 unbelief

00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:51.600
 what

00:29:51.600 --> 00:29:51.759
 do

00:29:51.759 --> 00:29:51.840
 you

00:29:51.840 --> 00:29:52.040
 think

00:29:52.040 --> 00:29:52.280
 God

00:29:52.280 --> 00:29:52.540
 might

00:29:52.540 --> 00:29:52.940
 do

00:29:52.940 --> 00:29:53.220
 when

00:29:53.220 --> 00:29:53.380
 we

00:29:53.380 --> 00:29:53.759
 choose

00:29:53.759 --> 00:29:53.980
 to

 step

00:29:54.320 --> 00:29:54.780
 out

00:29:54.780 --> 00:29:55.060
 in

00:29:55.060 --> 00:29:55.680
 faith

00:29:55.680 --> 00:29:57.680
 because

00:29:57.680 --> 00:29:58.019
 that's

00:29:58.019 --> 00:29:58.160
 the

00:29:58.160 --> 00:29:58.519
 place

00:29:58.519 --> 00:29:58.720
 where

00:29:58.720 --> 00:29:58.940
 we

00:29:58.940 --> 00:29:59.240
 will

00:29:59.240 --> 00:29:59.820
 experience

00:29:59.820 --> 00:30:00.039
 the

00:30:00.039 --> 00:30:00.259
 mighty

00:30:00.259 --> 00:30:00.620
 works

00:30:00.620 --> 00:30:00.779
 of

00:30:00.779 --> 00:30:01.180
 God

00:30:01.180 --> 00:30:02.480
 because

00:30:02.480 --> 00:30:02.900
 Jesus

00:30:02.900 --> 00:30:03.140
 is

00:30:03.140 --> 00:30:03.519
 good

00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:05.620
 that's

00:30:05.620 --> 00:30:05.740
 the

00:30:05.740 --> 00:30:05.980
 first

00:30:05.980 --> 00:30:06.279
 thing

00:30:06.279 --> 00:30:06.460
 of

00:30:14.980 --> 00:30:15.759
 it's

00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:15.900
 not

00:30:15.900 --> 00:30:16.039
 that

00:30:16.039 --> 00:30:16.160
 we

00:30:29.519 --> 00:30:30.439
 grid

00:30:30.439 --> 00:30:31.099

00:30:42.619 --> 00:30:42.859
 God

00:30:42.859 --> 00:30:43.039
 should

 a grid

00:30:44.019 --> 00:30:44.319
 that's

00:30:44.319 --> 00:30:44.699

00:31:53.240 --> 00:31:53.679
 grid

00:31:53.679 --> 00:31:53.939
 just

00:31:53.939 --> 00:31:54.299
 gets

00:31:54.299 --> 00:31:55.439
 disoriented

00:31:55.439 --> 00:31:57.959
 but

00:31:57.959 --> 00:31:58.299
 instead

00:31:58.299 --> 00:31:58.599
 of

00:31:58.599 --> 00:31:59.199
 rejecting

00:31:59.199 --> 00:31:59.720
 Jesus

00:31:59.720 --> 00:31:59.980
 like

00:31:59.980 --> 00:32:00.139
 the

00:32:00.139 --> 00:32:00.720
 Pharisees

00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:00.899
 and

00:32:00.899 --> 00:32:01.019
 the

00:32:01.019 --> 00:32:01.220
 people

00:32:01.220 --> 00:32:01.379
 of

00:32:01.380 --> 00:32:02.000
 Nazareth

00:32:02.000 --> 00:32:03.560
 instead

00:32:03.560 --> 00:32:03.700
 of

00:32:03.700 --> 00:32:03.860
 saying

00:32:03.860 --> 00:32:04.040
 no

00:32:04.040 --> 00:32:04.320
 way

00:32:04.320 --> 00:32:04.620
 that's

00:32:04.620 --> 00:32:05.260
 not

00:32:05.260 --> 00:32:05.440
 what

00:32:05.440 --> 00:32:05.580
 you

00:32:05.580 --> 00:32:05.720
 could

00:32:05.720 --> 00:32:05.940
 do

00:32:05.940 --> 00:32:06.360
 in

00:32:06.360 --> 00:32:06.540
 his

00:32:06.540 --> 00:32:07.140
 confusion

00:32:07.140 --> 00:32:07.520
 in

00:32:07.520 --> 00:32:07.720
 his

00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:08.140
 doubt

00:32:08.140 --> 00:32:08.400
 in

00:32:08.400 --> 00:32:08.620
 his

00:32:08.620 --> 00:32:09.160
 struggle

00:32:09.160 --> 00:32:09.940
 he

00:32:09.940 --> 00:32:10.420
 runs

00:32:10.420 --> 00:32:10.680
 to

00:32:10.680 --> 00:32:11.200
 Jesus

00:32:11.200 --> 00:32:12.480
 and

00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:12.640
 says

00:32:12.640 --> 00:32:12.820
 hey

00:32:12.820 --> 00:32:13.100
 Jesus

00:32:14.900 --> 00:32:15.200
 are

00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:16.880
 and

00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:17.360
 Jesus

00:32:17.360 --> 00:32:17.860
 do you

00:32:17.860 --> 00:32:17.920
 know

00:32:17.920 --> 00:32:18.040
 what

00:32:18.040 --> 00:32:18.140
 he

00:32:18.140 --> 00:32:18.380
 does

00:32:18.380 --> 00:32:18.540
 he

00:32:18.540 --> 00:32:18.900
 points

00:32:18.900 --> 00:32:19.060
 him

00:32:19.060 --> 00:32:19.300
 back

00:32:19.300 --> 00:32:19.480
 to

00:32:19.480 --> 00:32:19.820
 Isaiah

00:32:19.820 --> 00:32:20.340
 61

00:32:20.340 --> 00:32:22.300
 he

00:32:22.300 --> 00:32:22.720
 says

 he

 says

 which you

00:32:58.299 --> 00:32:58.899
 don't get

00:32:58.899 --> 00:32:59.180
 what's

00:32:59.180 --> 00:32:59.440
 going

00:32:59.440 --> 00:32:59.919
 on

00:32:59.920 --> 00:33:00.720
 lead

00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:00.960
 you

00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:01.500
 away

00:33:01.500 --> 00:33:01.759
 from

00:33:01.759 --> 00:33:02.200
 crossing

00:33:02.200 --> 00:33:02.500
 the

00:33:02.500 --> 00:33:02.720
 rope

00:33:02.720 --> 00:33:02.980
 bridge

00:33:02.980 --> 00:33:03.160
 and

 trusting

00:33:03.580 --> 00:33:04.019
 me

00:33:04.019 --> 00:33:07.060
 but

00:33:07.060 --> 00:33:07.320
 let

00:33:07.320 --> 00:33:07.460
 it

00:33:07.460 --> 00:33:07.840
 lead

00:33:07.840 --> 00:33:08.200
 you

00:33:08.200 --> 00:33:08.779
 deeper

00:33:08.779 --> 00:33:09.340
 into

00:33:09.340 --> 00:33:09.840
 trusting

00:33:09.840 --> 00:33:10.279
 me

00:33:10.279 --> 00:33:11.840
 you

00:33:11.840 --> 00:33:11.960
 see

00:33:11.960 --> 00:33:12.279
 how many

00:33:12.279 --> 00:33:12.560
 of us

00:33:12.560 --> 00:33:12.700
 have

00:33:12.700 --> 00:33:13.019
 seen

00:33:13.019 --> 00:33:13.320
 God

00:33:13.320 --> 00:33:13.500
 do

00:33:13.500 --> 00:33:14.019
 extraordinary

00:33:14.019 --> 00:33:14.440
 things

00:33:14.440 --> 00:33:14.740
 in our

00:33:14.740 --> 00:33:15.200
 lives

00:33:15.200 --> 00:33:16.200
 you've

00:33:16.200 --> 00:33:16.539
 seen

00:33:16.539 --> 00:33:16.900
 answers

00:33:16.900 --> 00:33:17.200
 to

00:33:17.200 --> 00:33:17.640
 prayer

00:33:17.640 --> 00:33:18.340
 you've

00:33:18.340 --> 00:33:18.680
 seen

00:33:18.680 --> 00:33:18.900
 him

00:33:18.900 --> 00:33:19.480
 change

00:33:19.480 --> 00:33:19.980
 people's

00:33:19.980 --> 00:33:20.279
 lives

00:33:20.279 --> 00:33:20.900
 dramatically

00:33:20.900 --> 00:33:21.240
 I

00:33:21.240 --> 00:33:21.519
 have

00:33:21.519 --> 00:33:21.779
 I've

00:33:21.779 --> 00:33:21.960
 seen

00:33:21.960 --> 00:33:22.560
 healings

00:33:22.560 --> 00:33:23.060
 I've

00:33:23.060 --> 00:33:23.300
 seen

00:33:23.300 --> 00:33:24.180
 incredible

00:33:24.180 --> 00:33:24.539
 things

00:33:24.539 --> 00:33:24.920
 in people's

00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:25.039
 lives

00:33:25.039 --> 00:33:25.279
 even

00:33:25.279 --> 00:33:25.460
 in

00:33:25.460 --> 00:33:25.680
 water

00:33:25.680 --> 00:33:25.880
 mark

00:33:25.880 --> 00:33:26.080
 just

00:33:26.080 --> 00:33:26.480
 recently

00:33:26.480 --> 00:33:26.920
 I've

00:33:26.920 --> 00:33:27.080
 just

00:33:27.080 --> 00:33:27.259
 heard

00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:27.820
 story

00:33:27.820 --> 00:33:28.140
 after

00:33:28.140 --> 00:33:28.640
 story

00:33:28.640 --> 00:33:29.120
 of God

00:33:29.120 --> 00:33:29.340
 just

00:33:29.340 --> 00:33:29.600
 doing

00:33:29.600 --> 00:33:30.360
 mind

00:33:30.360 --> 00:33:30.660
 blowing

00:33:30.660 --> 00:33:31.040
 things

00:33:31.040 --> 00:33:31.480
 in people's

00:33:31.480 --> 00:33:31.880
 lives

00:33:31.880 --> 00:33:36.160
 and we

00:33:36.160 --> 00:33:36.700
 can see

00:33:36.700 --> 00:33:37.140
 the power

00:33:37.140 --> 00:33:37.640
 of Jesus

00:33:37.640 --> 00:33:38.580
 and then we

00:33:38.580 --> 00:33:39.259
 read some of the

00:33:39.259 --> 00:33:39.880
 promises of

00:33:39.880 --> 00:33:40.160
 scripture

00:33:40.160 --> 00:33:40.900
 promises which

00:33:40.900 --> 00:33:41.240
 say like

00:33:41.240 --> 00:33:41.840
 no good

00:33:41.840 --> 00:33:42.720
 thing will he

00:33:42.720 --> 00:33:43.480
 withhold from

00:33:43.480 --> 00:33:44.340
 those who

00:33:44.340 --> 00:33:45.000
 fear him

00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:45.580
 and we

00:33:45.580 --> 00:33:46.240
 hold on to

00:33:46.240 --> 00:33:46.600
 that because

00:33:46.600 --> 00:33:46.940
 that's a

00:33:46.940 --> 00:33:47.740
 true promise

00:33:47.740 --> 00:33:48.680
 but then you

00:33:48.680 --> 00:33:49.100
 look at your

00:33:49.100 --> 00:33:49.700
 circumstances

00:33:49.700 --> 00:33:50.380
 and you go

00:33:50.380 --> 00:33:51.860
 but he seems

00:33:51.860 --> 00:33:52.700
 to be withholding

00:33:52.700 --> 00:33:53.220
 a whole load of

00:33:53.220 --> 00:33:53.759
 good things

00:33:53.759 --> 00:33:54.360
 that I think

00:33:54.359 --> 00:33:56.279
 should happen

00:33:56.279 --> 00:33:58.019
 maybe it's

00:33:58.019 --> 00:33:58.639
 your kids

00:33:58.639 --> 00:33:59.359
 they're not

00:33:59.359 --> 00:34:00.159
 responding to

00:34:00.159 --> 00:34:00.479
 you or

00:34:00.479 --> 00:34:00.979
 they're not

00:34:00.979 --> 00:34:01.359
 coming to

00:34:01.359 --> 00:34:01.740
 Christ

00:34:01.740 --> 00:34:02.000
 and you

00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:02.339
 think hey

00:34:02.339 --> 00:34:02.799
 this is a

00:34:02.799 --> 00:34:03.599
 good thing

00:34:03.599 --> 00:34:05.299
 or maybe

00:34:05.299 --> 00:34:05.779
 it's

00:34:05.779 --> 00:34:07.240
 parents or

00:34:07.240 --> 00:34:07.859
 loved ones

00:34:07.859 --> 00:34:08.480
 just haven't

00:34:08.480 --> 00:34:08.859
 come to

00:34:08.859 --> 00:34:09.299
 faith and

00:34:09.299 --> 00:34:09.519
 you've

00:34:09.519 --> 00:34:10.079
 prayed for

00:34:10.079 --> 00:34:10.699
 year after

00:34:10.699 --> 00:34:11.199
 year

00:34:11.199 --> 00:34:12.420
 and you

00:34:12.420 --> 00:34:12.699
 go

00:34:12.699 --> 00:34:13.659
 God

00:34:13.659 --> 00:34:14.480
 what's

00:34:14.480 --> 00:34:15.319
 going on

00:34:15.319 --> 00:34:17.400
 maybe it's

00:34:17.400 --> 00:34:17.900
 areas of

00:34:17.900 --> 00:34:18.339
 sin in

00:34:18.339 --> 00:34:18.699
 your life

00:34:18.699 --> 00:34:18.960
 that you

00:34:18.960 --> 00:34:19.619
 still battle

00:34:19.619 --> 00:34:20.099
 with and

00:34:20.099 --> 00:34:20.639
 you struggle

00:34:20.639 --> 00:34:21.079
 with and

00:34:21.079 --> 00:34:21.460
 you think

00:34:21.460 --> 00:34:21.960
 God are

00:34:21.960 --> 00:34:22.679
 you really

00:34:22.679 --> 00:34:23.339
 powerful

00:34:23.340 --> 00:34:25.019
 I thought

00:34:25.019 --> 00:34:25.380
 you would

00:34:25.380 --> 00:34:26.019
 deliver me

00:34:26.019 --> 00:34:26.539
 from this

00:34:26.539 --> 00:34:27.019
 thing but

00:34:27.019 --> 00:34:27.400
 I don't

00:34:27.400 --> 00:34:28.059
 get it

00:34:28.059 --> 00:34:29.420
 maybe you're

00:34:29.420 --> 00:34:29.860
 single

00:34:29.860 --> 00:34:31.640
 and you know

00:34:31.640 --> 00:34:32.019
 you've been

00:34:32.019 --> 00:34:32.720
 faithful and

00:34:32.720 --> 00:34:32.980
 you've been

00:34:32.980 --> 00:34:33.800
 trusting Jesus

00:34:33.800 --> 00:34:34.220
 and you look

00:34:34.220 --> 00:34:34.600
 at everybody

00:34:34.600 --> 00:34:35.140
 else getting

00:34:35.140 --> 00:34:35.640
 married and

00:34:35.640 --> 00:34:36.340
 you feel

00:34:36.340 --> 00:34:36.960
 the loneliness

00:34:36.960 --> 00:34:37.800
 you feel

00:34:37.800 --> 00:34:38.460
 the hardship

00:34:38.460 --> 00:34:39.019
 of it

00:34:39.019 --> 00:34:40.140
 it's not a

00:34:40.140 --> 00:34:40.600
 walk in the

00:34:40.600 --> 00:34:41.140
 park

00:34:41.140 --> 00:34:42.800
 and you go

00:34:42.800 --> 00:34:45.539
 are you

00:34:45.539 --> 00:34:46.220
 really that

00:34:46.220 --> 00:34:46.940
 good Jesus

00:34:46.940 --> 00:34:48.960
 can I

00:34:48.960 --> 00:34:49.800
 really trust

00:34:49.800 --> 00:34:50.140
 you

00:34:50.140 --> 00:34:52.380
 and unbelief

00:34:52.380 --> 00:34:52.840
 wants to

00:34:52.840 --> 00:34:53.300
 come to

00:34:53.300 --> 00:34:53.680
 you and

00:34:53.680 --> 00:34:54.079
 say

00:34:54.079 --> 00:34:56.500
 don't cross

00:34:56.500 --> 00:34:56.880
 the rope

00:34:56.880 --> 00:34:57.320
 bridge

00:34:57.320 --> 00:34:58.019
 go another

00:34:58.019 --> 00:34:58.640
 path

00:34:58.640 --> 00:35:00.260
 because he's

00:35:00.260 --> 00:35:00.440
 going to

00:35:00.440 --> 00:35:00.880
 make life

00:35:00.880 --> 00:35:01.400
 hard for

00:35:01.400 --> 00:35:01.760
 you

00:35:01.760 --> 00:35:05.019
 but the

00:35:05.019 --> 00:35:05.760
 passage is

00:35:05.760 --> 00:35:06.500
 calling us

00:35:06.500 --> 00:35:06.960
 to and this

00:35:06.960 --> 00:35:07.760
 whole section

00:35:07.760 --> 00:35:08.280
 of Matthew

00:35:08.280 --> 00:35:08.880
 is calling

00:35:08.880 --> 00:35:09.640
 us to say

00:35:09.640 --> 00:35:10.740
 just as in

00:35:10.740 --> 00:35:11.460
 the parables

00:35:11.460 --> 00:35:11.940
 remember the

00:35:11.940 --> 00:35:12.579
 parable of the

00:35:12.579 --> 00:35:13.160
 wheat and the

00:35:13.160 --> 00:35:13.760
 weeds remember

00:35:13.760 --> 00:35:14.760
 the parable of

00:35:14.760 --> 00:35:15.559
 the mustard seed

00:35:15.559 --> 00:35:16.160
 and the leaven

00:35:16.160 --> 00:35:17.019
 that actually

00:35:17.019 --> 00:35:17.920
 the kingdom of

00:35:17.920 --> 00:35:18.880
 God works

00:35:18.880 --> 00:35:20.700
 in both power

00:35:20.700 --> 00:35:21.579
 but also in

00:35:21.579 --> 00:35:22.259
 hiddenness

00:35:22.259 --> 00:35:22.960
 and in

00:35:22.960 --> 00:35:23.559
 confusion

00:35:23.559 --> 00:35:24.179
 and in

00:35:24.179 --> 00:35:24.719
 areas where

00:35:24.719 --> 00:35:25.099
 you don't

00:35:25.099 --> 00:35:25.500
 get what's

00:35:25.500 --> 00:35:26.099
 going on

00:35:26.099 --> 00:35:28.019
 you know

00:35:28.019 --> 00:35:28.460
 it's what in

00:35:28.460 --> 00:35:29.480
 theological language

00:35:29.480 --> 00:35:30.139
 we call the

00:35:30.139 --> 00:35:30.920
 now and the

00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:31.599
 not yet

00:35:31.599 --> 00:35:33.679
 it's like

00:35:33.679 --> 00:35:34.299
 now

00:35:34.299 --> 00:35:35.299
 Jesus wants

00:35:35.299 --> 00:35:35.880
 to show us

00:35:35.880 --> 00:35:36.920
 in our fears

00:35:36.920 --> 00:35:37.880
 in our doubts

00:35:37.880 --> 00:35:38.659
 in our struggles

00:35:38.659 --> 00:35:39.119
 he wants to

00:35:39.119 --> 00:35:39.880
 show the real

00:35:39.880 --> 00:35:40.799
 power that he

00:35:40.799 --> 00:35:41.679
 has to change

00:35:41.679 --> 00:35:42.319
 our lives

00:35:42.319 --> 00:35:44.799
 he really

00:35:44.799 --> 00:35:45.360
 does

00:35:45.360 --> 00:35:46.299
 so I want us

00:35:46.299 --> 00:35:47.019
 to be praying

00:35:47.019 --> 00:35:47.639
 as a church

00:35:47.639 --> 00:35:48.019
 with a new

00:35:48.019 --> 00:35:48.860
 expectancy

00:35:48.860 --> 00:35:50.099
 that God

00:35:50.099 --> 00:35:50.539
 will do

00:35:50.539 --> 00:35:51.019
 things

00:35:51.019 --> 00:35:51.620
 as we

00:35:51.620 --> 00:35:52.140
 step out

00:35:52.140 --> 00:35:52.760
 in faith

00:35:52.760 --> 00:35:53.160
 as we

00:35:53.160 --> 00:35:53.460
 go and

00:35:53.460 --> 00:35:54.099
 share our

00:35:54.099 --> 00:35:54.380
 faith

00:35:54.380 --> 00:35:54.940
 as we

00:35:54.940 --> 00:35:55.280
 go and

00:35:55.280 --> 00:35:56.079
 step into

00:35:56.079 --> 00:35:56.579
 waters

00:35:56.579 --> 00:35:56.840
 where we

00:35:56.840 --> 00:35:56.940
 go

00:35:56.940 --> 00:35:57.220
 God

00:35:57.220 --> 00:35:57.480
 I don't

00:35:57.480 --> 00:35:57.620
 know

00:35:57.620 --> 00:35:57.800
 whether

00:35:57.800 --> 00:35:58.300
 this is

00:35:58.300 --> 00:35:58.940
 what's

00:35:58.940 --> 00:35:59.160
 going to

00:35:59.160 --> 00:35:59.340
 happen

00:35:59.340 --> 00:35:59.640
 but I'm

00:35:59.640 --> 00:36:00.039
 trusting

00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:00.340
 you

00:36:00.340 --> 00:36:01.140
 I think

00:36:01.140 --> 00:36:01.440
 we will

00:36:01.440 --> 00:36:01.920
 see God

00:36:01.920 --> 00:36:02.460
 come through

00:36:02.460 --> 00:36:02.980
 in amazing

00:36:02.980 --> 00:36:03.440
 ways

00:36:03.440 --> 00:36:06.599
 maybe it's

00:36:06.599 --> 00:36:07.220
 your finances

00:36:07.220 --> 00:36:08.740
 maybe it's

00:36:08.740 --> 00:36:09.280
 your work

00:36:09.280 --> 00:36:12.340
 but I think

00:36:12.340 --> 00:36:12.900
 he also wants

00:36:12.900 --> 00:36:13.480
 to show us

00:36:13.480 --> 00:36:13.940
 that actually

00:36:13.940 --> 00:36:14.539
 in the not

00:36:14.539 --> 00:36:14.920
 yet

00:36:14.920 --> 00:36:15.360
 and some

00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:15.599
 of us

00:36:15.599 --> 00:36:16.260
 are experiencing

00:36:16.260 --> 00:36:16.840
 that not

00:36:16.840 --> 00:36:17.120
 yet

00:36:17.120 --> 00:36:17.720
 right now

00:36:17.719 --> 00:36:20.919
 that Jesus

00:36:20.919 --> 00:36:24.899
 that let me

00:36:24.899 --> 00:36:25.259
 step back

00:36:25.259 --> 00:36:25.719
 that actually

00:36:25.719 --> 00:36:26.259
 when we

00:36:26.259 --> 00:36:26.879
 feel

00:36:26.879 --> 00:36:28.199
 that this

00:36:28.199 --> 00:36:28.599
 is our

00:36:28.599 --> 00:36:29.059
 home

00:36:29.059 --> 00:36:29.419
 and yet

00:36:29.419 --> 00:36:29.819
 it doesn't

00:36:29.819 --> 00:36:30.279
 feel like

00:36:30.279 --> 00:36:30.699
 home

00:36:30.699 --> 00:36:32.199
 when it

00:36:32.199 --> 00:36:32.759
 feels like

00:36:32.759 --> 00:36:33.159
 we don't

00:36:33.159 --> 00:36:33.759
 feel the

00:36:33.759 --> 00:36:34.079
 safety

00:36:34.079 --> 00:36:34.480
 we don't

00:36:34.480 --> 00:36:34.980
 feel the

00:36:34.980 --> 00:36:35.379
 security

00:36:35.379 --> 00:36:35.899
 we don't

00:36:35.899 --> 00:36:36.539
 feel the

00:36:36.539 --> 00:36:36.939
 acceptance

00:36:36.939 --> 00:36:37.359
 we don't

00:36:37.359 --> 00:36:38.019
 feel all

00:36:38.019 --> 00:36:38.459
 the things

00:36:38.459 --> 00:36:38.739
 that we

00:36:38.739 --> 00:36:39.139
 wish we

00:36:39.139 --> 00:36:39.719
 could feel

00:36:39.719 --> 00:36:40.919
 Jesus

00:36:40.919 --> 00:36:41.439
 says

00:36:41.439 --> 00:36:42.099
 this is

00:36:42.099 --> 00:36:42.480
 the moment

00:36:42.480 --> 00:36:42.679
 for you

00:36:42.679 --> 00:36:43.000
 to run

00:36:43.000 --> 00:36:43.419
 into me

00:36:43.419 --> 00:36:43.899
 and discover

00:36:43.899 --> 00:36:44.379
 that I

00:36:44.379 --> 00:36:44.819
 am where

00:36:44.819 --> 00:36:45.379
 your home

00:36:45.379 --> 00:36:46.159
 has always

00:36:46.159 --> 00:36:46.519
 been

00:36:46.519 --> 00:36:50.599
 because just

00:36:50.599 --> 00:36:50.940
 as John

00:36:50.940 --> 00:36:51.380
 the Baptist

00:36:51.380 --> 00:36:52.039
 ran to

00:36:52.039 --> 00:36:52.579
 Jesus

00:36:52.579 --> 00:36:54.239
 right at

00:36:54.239 --> 00:36:54.739
 the moment

00:36:54.739 --> 00:36:55.420
 of greatest

00:36:55.420 --> 00:36:56.179
 confusion

00:36:56.179 --> 00:36:56.920
 and greatest

00:36:56.920 --> 00:36:57.320
 struggle

00:36:57.320 --> 00:36:57.699
 when God

00:36:57.699 --> 00:36:58.159
 seems to

00:36:58.159 --> 00:36:58.800
 blow open

00:36:58.800 --> 00:36:59.440
 your categories

00:36:59.440 --> 00:36:59.820
 and you

00:36:59.820 --> 00:37:00.380
 don't get

00:37:00.380 --> 00:37:00.759
 what he's

00:37:00.759 --> 00:37:01.139
 doing

00:37:01.139 --> 00:37:01.860
 is the

00:37:01.860 --> 00:37:02.179
 moment

00:37:02.179 --> 00:37:02.559
 when he

00:37:02.559 --> 00:37:02.840
 actually

00:37:02.840 --> 00:37:03.219
 wants to

00:37:03.219 --> 00:37:03.780
 take you

00:37:03.780 --> 00:37:04.280
 into a

00:37:04.280 --> 00:37:04.539
 deeper

00:37:04.539 --> 00:37:05.139
 revelation

00:37:05.139 --> 00:37:05.559
 of who

00:37:05.559 --> 00:37:06.059
 he truly

00:37:06.059 --> 00:37:06.480
 is

00:37:06.480 --> 00:37:07.139
 that he's

00:37:07.139 --> 00:37:07.619
 bigger than

00:37:07.619 --> 00:37:07.980
 you thought

00:37:07.980 --> 00:37:08.460
 he was

00:37:08.460 --> 00:37:09.099
 that his

00:37:09.099 --> 00:37:09.780
 plans are

00:37:09.780 --> 00:37:10.139
 far

00:37:10.139 --> 00:37:10.759
 vaster

00:37:10.759 --> 00:37:11.119
 than you

00:37:11.119 --> 00:37:11.519
 could think

00:37:11.519 --> 00:37:12.099
 they are

00:37:12.099 --> 00:37:12.920
 that actually

00:37:12.920 --> 00:37:13.679
 he looks

00:37:13.679 --> 00:37:14.139
 over a

00:37:14.139 --> 00:37:15.039
 cosmic view

00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:15.519
 of life

00:37:15.519 --> 00:37:15.980
 not just

00:37:15.980 --> 00:37:16.320
 our little

00:37:16.320 --> 00:37:17.079
 narrow view

00:37:17.079 --> 00:37:17.820
 and actually

00:37:17.820 --> 00:37:18.159
 as you

00:37:18.159 --> 00:37:18.800
 enter in

00:37:18.800 --> 00:37:19.059
 and you

00:37:19.059 --> 00:37:19.940
 trust him

00:37:19.940 --> 00:37:21.800
 you'll discover

00:37:21.800 --> 00:37:22.519
 that Jesus

00:37:22.519 --> 00:37:24.340
 is more safe

00:37:24.340 --> 00:37:25.500
 is more the

00:37:25.500 --> 00:37:26.159
 place where you

00:37:26.159 --> 00:37:26.599
 can find

00:37:26.599 --> 00:37:27.199
 acceptance

00:37:27.199 --> 00:37:27.900
 approval

00:37:27.900 --> 00:37:28.719
 love

00:37:28.719 --> 00:37:29.559
 the place

00:37:29.559 --> 00:37:30.039
 of greater

00:37:30.039 --> 00:37:30.619
 security

00:37:30.619 --> 00:37:31.360
 you will find

00:37:31.360 --> 00:37:31.800
 that he is

00:37:31.800 --> 00:37:32.199
 home

00:37:32.199 --> 00:37:34.480
 and that

00:37:34.480 --> 00:37:35.000
 will also

00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:35.539
 make us

00:37:35.539 --> 00:37:36.099
 long

00:37:36.099 --> 00:37:36.599
 in those

00:37:36.599 --> 00:37:36.920
 moments

00:37:36.920 --> 00:37:37.239
 where we

00:37:37.239 --> 00:37:37.860
 don't have

00:37:37.860 --> 00:37:38.179
 what we

00:37:38.179 --> 00:37:38.800
 want now

00:37:38.800 --> 00:37:39.519
 for the

00:37:39.519 --> 00:37:39.880
 home

00:37:39.880 --> 00:37:40.259
 of when

00:37:40.259 --> 00:37:41.139
 he returns

00:37:41.139 --> 00:37:42.079
 and we

00:37:42.079 --> 00:37:42.480
 see him

00:37:42.480 --> 00:37:42.920
 face to

00:37:42.920 --> 00:37:43.380
 face

00:37:43.380 --> 00:37:43.840
 peace

00:37:43.840 --> 00:37:46.400
 I had

00:37:46.400 --> 00:37:46.960
 a conversation

00:37:46.960 --> 00:37:47.260
 a couple

00:37:47.260 --> 00:37:47.519
 of weeks

00:37:47.519 --> 00:37:47.860
 ago

00:37:47.860 --> 00:37:49.900
 with a

00:37:49.900 --> 00:37:50.240
 friend

00:37:50.240 --> 00:37:51.980
 in

00:37:51.980 --> 00:37:52.440
 Watermark

00:37:52.440 --> 00:37:53.340
 who's a

00:37:53.340 --> 00:37:54.260
 refugee

00:37:54.260 --> 00:37:54.720
 in Hong

00:37:54.720 --> 00:37:54.960
 Kong

00:37:54.960 --> 00:37:56.760
 he can't

00:37:56.760 --> 00:37:57.119
 go back

00:37:57.119 --> 00:37:57.640
 home now

00:37:57.640 --> 00:37:58.220
 because he's

00:37:58.220 --> 00:37:58.599
 become a

00:37:58.599 --> 00:37:58.940
 Christian

00:37:58.940 --> 00:38:00.760
 and if he

00:38:00.760 --> 00:38:01.200
 goes back

00:38:01.200 --> 00:38:01.760
 home his

00:38:01.760 --> 00:38:02.599
 family may

00:38:02.599 --> 00:38:04.480
 kill him

00:38:04.480 --> 00:38:08.019
 and here

00:38:08.019 --> 00:38:08.320
 in Hong

00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:08.700
 Kong he

00:38:08.700 --> 00:38:09.380
 can't work

00:38:09.380 --> 00:38:10.960
 he's stuck

00:38:10.960 --> 00:38:12.380
 and yet

00:38:12.380 --> 00:38:13.340
 as he's

00:38:13.340 --> 00:38:13.740
 been talking

00:38:13.740 --> 00:38:14.280
 about Jesus

00:38:14.280 --> 00:38:14.740
 with his

00:38:14.740 --> 00:38:15.119
 friends

00:38:15.119 --> 00:38:15.619
 some of his

00:38:15.619 --> 00:38:16.159
 friends have

00:38:16.159 --> 00:38:16.559
 distanced

00:38:16.559 --> 00:38:17.039
 themselves

00:38:17.039 --> 00:38:17.599
 from him

00:38:17.599 --> 00:38:18.079
 so he said

00:38:18.079 --> 00:38:18.440
 at times

00:38:18.440 --> 00:38:18.740
 I feel

00:38:18.740 --> 00:38:19.220
 incredibly

00:38:19.220 --> 00:38:19.599
 lonely

00:38:19.599 --> 00:38:21.340
 it's really

00:38:21.340 --> 00:38:21.720
 hard

00:38:21.720 --> 00:38:23.199
 I experienced

00:38:23.199 --> 00:38:23.559
 the not

00:38:23.559 --> 00:38:23.960
 yet

00:38:23.960 --> 00:38:26.039
 but then he

00:38:26.039 --> 00:38:26.519
 said to me

00:38:26.519 --> 00:38:26.900
 actually

00:38:26.900 --> 00:38:27.760
 when he

00:38:27.760 --> 00:38:28.320
 comes back

00:38:28.320 --> 00:38:28.840
 to God's

00:38:28.840 --> 00:38:29.079
 word

00:38:29.079 --> 00:38:29.460
 in those

00:38:29.460 --> 00:38:29.960
 moments

00:38:29.960 --> 00:38:30.880
 he comes

00:38:30.880 --> 00:38:31.280
 back to

00:38:31.280 --> 00:38:31.579
 God's

00:38:31.579 --> 00:38:31.900
 word

00:38:31.900 --> 00:38:32.820
 he comes

00:38:32.820 --> 00:38:33.280
 back to

00:38:33.280 --> 00:38:33.659
 remember

00:38:33.659 --> 00:38:34.340
 Christ

00:38:34.340 --> 00:38:35.360
 that Christ

00:38:35.360 --> 00:38:35.800
 has not

00:38:35.800 --> 00:38:37.079
 just been

00:38:37.079 --> 00:38:37.720
 away from

00:38:37.720 --> 00:38:38.400
 home for

00:38:38.400 --> 00:38:38.639
 him

00:38:38.639 --> 00:38:39.519
 but he is

00:38:39.519 --> 00:38:40.119
 away from

00:38:40.119 --> 00:38:40.360
 home

00:38:40.360 --> 00:38:40.920
 so that

00:38:40.920 --> 00:38:41.200
 he can

00:38:41.200 --> 00:38:41.860
 be with

00:38:41.860 --> 00:38:42.579
 us

00:38:42.579 --> 00:38:43.559
 in the

00:38:43.559 --> 00:38:43.800
 midst

00:38:43.800 --> 00:38:44.140
 of those

00:38:44.140 --> 00:38:44.539
 struggles

00:38:44.539 --> 00:38:49.340
 he discovers

00:38:49.340 --> 00:38:49.860
 a profound

00:38:49.860 --> 00:38:50.400
 peace

00:38:50.400 --> 00:38:51.480
 a profound

00:38:51.480 --> 00:38:52.039
 joy

00:38:52.039 --> 00:38:53.019
 a profound

00:38:53.019 --> 00:38:53.680
 hope

00:38:53.680 --> 00:38:54.360
 that you

00:38:54.360 --> 00:38:54.860
 cannot put

00:38:54.860 --> 00:38:55.320
 your finger

00:38:55.320 --> 00:38:56.000
 on unless

00:38:56.000 --> 00:38:56.599
 you say

00:38:56.599 --> 00:38:57.559
 that is the

00:38:57.559 --> 00:38:57.940
 work of

00:38:57.940 --> 00:38:58.300
 God in

00:38:58.300 --> 00:38:59.000
 my life

00:38:59.000 --> 00:39:03.220
 you see

00:39:03.220 --> 00:39:04.099
 Jesus has

00:39:04.099 --> 00:39:05.340
 traveled the

00:39:05.340 --> 00:39:06.380
 route for

00:39:06.380 --> 00:39:06.720
 us

00:39:06.720 --> 00:39:07.440
 he travels

00:39:07.440 --> 00:39:08.180
 this road

00:39:08.180 --> 00:39:09.280
 with us

00:39:09.280 --> 00:39:12.600
 so that

00:39:12.600 --> 00:39:13.140
 we might

00:39:13.140 --> 00:39:13.760
 really come

00:39:13.760 --> 00:39:14.380
 to see

00:39:14.380 --> 00:39:15.540
 that he

00:39:15.540 --> 00:39:16.019
 is better

00:39:16.019 --> 00:39:16.540
 than we

00:39:16.540 --> 00:39:16.900
 think he

00:39:16.900 --> 00:39:17.200
 is

00:39:17.200 --> 00:39:18.100
 he is

00:39:18.100 --> 00:39:18.400
 bigger

00:39:18.400 --> 00:39:19.040
 than we

00:39:19.040 --> 00:39:19.460
 think he

00:39:19.460 --> 00:39:19.760
 is

00:39:19.760 --> 00:39:20.600
 he is

00:39:20.600 --> 00:39:20.820
 more

00:39:20.820 --> 00:39:21.340
 loving

00:39:21.340 --> 00:39:21.920
 than we

00:39:21.920 --> 00:39:22.480
 can imagine

00:39:22.480 --> 00:39:23.120
 he is

00:39:23.120 --> 00:39:24.040
 and he

00:39:24.040 --> 00:39:24.519
 will work

00:39:24.519 --> 00:39:25.060
 our lives

00:39:25.060 --> 00:39:25.480
 through

00:39:25.480 --> 00:39:26.200
 in a way

00:39:26.200 --> 00:39:26.480
 that is

00:39:26.480 --> 00:39:27.180
 more glorious

00:39:27.180 --> 00:39:27.640
 than if we

00:39:27.640 --> 00:39:28.200
 trusted in

00:39:28.200 --> 00:39:28.660
 ourselves

00:39:28.659 --> 00:39:33.719
 that is

00:39:33.719 --> 00:39:34.139
 why in

00:39:34.139 --> 00:39:34.559
 the Lord's

00:39:34.559 --> 00:39:34.920
 prayer

00:39:34.920 --> 00:39:36.099
 do you

00:39:36.099 --> 00:39:36.339
 know what

00:39:36.339 --> 00:39:36.799
 we pray

00:39:36.799 --> 00:39:38.559
 we pray

00:39:38.559 --> 00:39:39.119
 your

00:39:39.119 --> 00:39:39.960
 kingdom

00:39:39.960 --> 00:39:41.019
 come

00:39:41.019 --> 00:39:42.420
 your

00:39:42.420 --> 00:39:43.079
 will

00:39:43.079 --> 00:39:43.799
 be done

00:39:43.799 --> 00:39:44.480
 we are

00:39:44.480 --> 00:39:44.859
 praying

00:39:44.859 --> 00:39:45.420
 God

00:39:45.420 --> 00:39:46.679
 come

00:39:46.679 --> 00:39:47.079
 home

00:39:47.079 --> 00:39:48.839
 bring us

00:39:48.839 --> 00:39:49.319
 home with

00:39:49.319 --> 00:39:49.619
 you

00:39:49.619 --> 00:39:51.179
 let that

00:39:51.179 --> 00:39:51.639
 be our

00:39:51.639 --> 00:39:52.039
 prayer

00:39:52.039 --> 00:39:53.739
 let's

00:39:53.739 --> 00:39:54.079
 pray

00:39:54.079 --> 00:40:04.259
 let me

00:40:04.259 --> 00:40:04.779
 just take a

00:40:04.779 --> 00:40:05.159
 minute to

00:40:05.159 --> 00:40:05.599
 think where

00:40:05.599 --> 00:40:05.960
 you are

00:40:05.960 --> 00:40:06.500
 with Jesus

00:40:06.500 --> 00:40:08.360
 I know we

00:40:08.360 --> 00:40:08.900
 do this

00:40:08.900 --> 00:40:09.480
 a lot

00:40:09.480 --> 00:40:09.880
 but this is

00:40:09.880 --> 00:40:10.360
 what Matthew

00:40:10.360 --> 00:40:10.840
 is calling

00:40:10.840 --> 00:40:11.279
 us to

00:40:11.279 --> 00:40:13.000
 of going

00:40:13.000 --> 00:40:14.860
 where am

00:40:14.860 --> 00:40:15.239
 I

00:40:15.239 --> 00:40:18.179
 have I

00:40:18.179 --> 00:40:18.679
 seen the

00:40:18.679 --> 00:40:19.099
 power of

00:40:19.099 --> 00:40:19.400
 God

00:40:19.400 --> 00:40:20.920
 am I

00:40:20.920 --> 00:40:21.480
 running to

00:40:21.480 --> 00:40:21.819
 God

00:40:21.820 --> 00:40:23.480
 maybe in

00:40:23.480 --> 00:40:24.140
 the confusing

00:40:24.140 --> 00:40:24.980
 circumstances

00:40:24.980 --> 00:40:25.559
 maybe in

00:40:25.559 --> 00:40:26.000
 the areas

00:40:26.000 --> 00:40:26.320
 where I'm

00:40:26.320 --> 00:40:26.760
 struggling

00:40:26.760 --> 00:40:27.860
 am I

00:40:27.860 --> 00:40:28.360
 running to

00:40:28.360 --> 00:40:28.720
 him or

00:40:28.720 --> 00:40:29.200
 running away

00:40:29.200 --> 00:40:29.720
 from him

00:40:29.720 --> 00:40:32.440
 what is

00:40:32.440 --> 00:40:32.900
 he calling

00:40:32.900 --> 00:40:33.340
 you to

00:40:33.340 --> 00:40:35.780
 can you

00:40:35.780 --> 00:40:36.260
 see that

00:40:36.260 --> 00:40:36.900
 actually who

00:40:36.900 --> 00:40:37.240
 he is

00:40:37.240 --> 00:40:37.600
 he's the

00:40:37.600 --> 00:40:38.000
 king with

00:40:38.000 --> 00:40:38.700
 all authority

00:40:38.700 --> 00:40:40.539
 and yet he's

00:40:40.539 --> 00:40:41.120
 the king

00:40:41.120 --> 00:40:42.240
 who will

00:40:42.240 --> 00:40:42.680
 come

00:40:42.680 --> 00:40:43.800
 to be

00:40:43.800 --> 00:40:44.320
 close to

00:40:44.320 --> 00:40:44.780
 us

00:40:44.780 --> 00:40:46.300
 will you

00:40:46.300 --> 00:40:46.760
 let him

00:40:46.760 --> 00:40:49.420
 what are

00:40:49.420 --> 00:40:50.220
 the expectations

00:40:50.220 --> 00:40:50.880
 what are the

00:40:50.880 --> 00:40:51.539
 things that

00:40:51.539 --> 00:40:53.099
 actually leave

00:40:53.099 --> 00:40:53.500
 you going

00:40:53.500 --> 00:40:53.960
 no way

00:40:53.960 --> 00:40:54.340
 Jesus

00:40:54.340 --> 00:40:56.800
 and will

00:40:56.800 --> 00:40:57.340
 you surrender

00:40:57.340 --> 00:40:57.840
 those to

00:40:57.840 --> 00:40:58.239
 him right

00:40:58.239 --> 00:40:58.639
 now

00:40:58.639 --> 00:41:00.340
 no matter

00:41:00.340 --> 00:41:00.920
 how scary

00:41:00.920 --> 00:41:01.639
 that feels

00:41:01.639 --> 00:41:04.099
 and see

00:41:04.099 --> 00:41:05.860
 that he is

00:41:05.860 --> 00:41:06.119
 a better

00:41:06.119 --> 00:41:06.539
 God

00:41:06.539 --> 00:41:07.820
 a better

00:41:07.820 --> 00:41:08.320
 plan

00:41:08.320 --> 00:41:11.739
 for us

00:41:11.779 --> 00:41:25.859
ок

00:41:25.919 --> 00:41:26.579
 but

00:41:26.579 --> 00:41:49.219
 Father, thank you.

00:41:49.219 --> 00:42:03.059
 Father, that I know that we don't need to be able to understand everything of how to fix all our world.

00:42:05.259 --> 00:42:08.299
 But we need to know that you are the one who does.

00:42:11.000 --> 00:42:16.779
 I pray for us, Lord, that even right now, wherever we are, Lord, I pray that where there are areas which are choking our hearts,

00:42:16.780 --> 00:42:21.140
 where there are areas where we need to learn to step out of the boat.

00:42:21.220 --> 00:42:24.900
 We need to step out onto that rope bridge and go, God, I need to trust you in this area.

00:42:25.000 --> 00:42:26.200
 Lord, give us the courage.

00:42:27.680 --> 00:42:32.780
 And also give us just a sense of your love and your presence with us as we do that.

00:42:33.100 --> 00:42:42.519
 Even this week, maybe some of us actually need to share about an area of sin in our lives that we are so scared to share and what people will think.

00:42:42.519 --> 00:42:48.219
 But God is calling you to share that with a friend or with someone who is godly.

00:42:51.099 --> 00:42:54.159
 Maybe there are people you know you're supposed to be reaching out to.

00:42:54.360 --> 00:42:56.880
 Maybe there are people you're supposed to be forgiving.

00:42:57.280 --> 00:43:02.079
 Maybe there are people you're supposed to invite into your home, but you don't even want to go there.

00:43:04.380 --> 00:43:08.219
 And God is calling you to step out onto that bridge and trust him.

00:43:08.219 --> 00:43:12.659
 Lord, I pray that you give us the courage to do that.

00:43:13.239 --> 00:43:15.859
 Show us that you are better than our own ways of thinking.

00:43:18.119 --> 00:43:20.000
 And Lord, I pray for those of us who are struggling.

00:43:21.559 --> 00:43:25.239
 I pray that you come alongside us and show that you get us totally.

00:43:26.199 --> 00:43:27.819
 That you're with us right now.

00:43:28.559 --> 00:43:34.159
 And that we've been encouraged that you have already walked through this to the other side,

00:43:34.539 --> 00:43:35.899
 into resurrection glory.

00:43:36.279 --> 00:43:37.679
 And you're going to take us there too.

00:43:38.219 --> 00:43:42.239
 So strengthen us in our faith, I pray as a church.

00:43:42.659 --> 00:43:43.679
 In Jesus' name.

00:43:45.079 --> 00:43:45.559
 Amen.

00:43:49.639 --> 00:43:51.279
 We're going to come and take communion now.

00:43:53.059 --> 00:43:55.939
 And communion is that time where we go,

00:43:55.939 --> 00:44:03.359
 God, I see areas in my life where I haven't trusted you.

00:44:04.419 --> 00:44:06.339
 Where I haven't put my hope in you.

00:44:06.340 --> 00:44:09.340
 But Father, I want to run back to you.

00:44:10.720 --> 00:44:16.900
 I want to receive again the incredible welcome that you give to me.

00:44:16.900 --> 00:44:29.639
 It's a place that if you are not a Christian or if you know that actually you keep turning away from that rope bridge and you're not even at a place of saying, yeah, I want to cross.

00:44:29.639 --> 00:44:31.639
 I say stay where you are.

00:44:31.639 --> 00:44:33.639
 And just pray to God.

00:44:33.639 --> 00:44:34.219
 And just pray to God.

00:44:34.219 --> 00:44:38.159
 And just be really real and honest with God where you are up to right now.

00:44:38.159 --> 00:44:47.559
 But for the rest of us, I encourage you as you go, God, I want you to change my life.

00:44:47.619 --> 00:44:49.559
 I want you to be the Lord of my life.

00:44:49.559 --> 00:44:54.420
 To come up and to take the elements and we'll go back to our seats and take them together.

00:44:54.539 --> 00:45:05.920
 But to do so with this sense that actually the ultimate place where Jesus was not at home was on the cross.

00:45:05.920 --> 00:45:13.300
 Because that's even the place where he said, my God, my God, why have you forsaken me?

00:45:15.760 --> 00:45:21.460
 Home was with his father and yet he was rejected even there so that we might be accepted.

00:45:21.460 --> 00:45:27.840
 And so we come and receive the one who loves us more than we could imagine.

00:45:29.599 --> 00:45:31.539
 And enjoy coming home with him.

00:45:33.019 --> 00:45:34.119
 So take your time.

00:45:36.619 --> 00:45:37.720
 Respond as you need to.

00:45:37.840 --> 00:45:40.539
 And then come up and take the elements and then we'll take them together afterwards.
