00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.700
 The scripture reading comes from Acts chapter 3, starting from verse 1 we read.

00:00:06.700 --> 00:00:07.299
!

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.939
 He asked to receive alms.

00:00:33.939 --> 00:00:38.780
 And Peter directed his gaze at him and did join and said,

00:00:39.100 --> 00:00:39.759
 Look at us.

00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:45.380
 And he fixed his attention on them, expecting to receive something from them.

00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:47.179
 But Peter said,

00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:51.219
 I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you.

00:00:51.780 --> 00:00:55.079
 In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.

00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:59.219
 And he took him by the right hand and raised him up.

00:00:59.219 --> 00:01:03.659
 And immediately his feet and ankles were made strong.

00:01:04.539 --> 00:01:10.120
 And leaping up, he stood and began to walk and enter the temple with them,

00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:13.819
 walking and leaping and praising God.

00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:17.620
 And all the people saw him walking and praising God

00:01:17.620 --> 00:01:22.379
 and recognized him as the one who sat at the beautiful gate of the temple,

00:01:23.099 --> 00:01:24.019
 asking for alms.

00:01:24.019 --> 00:01:29.819
 And they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

00:01:29.819 --> 00:01:33.199
 While he clung to Peter and John,

00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:36.719
 all the people, utterly astonished,

00:01:37.399 --> 00:01:41.059
 ran together to them in the particle called Solomon's.

00:01:41.780 --> 00:01:44.599
 And when Peter saw it, he addressed the people.

00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:46.199
 Men of Israel,

00:01:46.559 --> 00:01:48.000
 why do you wonder at this?

00:01:48.199 --> 00:01:49.479
 Or why do you stare at us?

00:01:49.780 --> 00:01:52.699
 As though by our own power or piety, we have made him walk.

00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:56.519
 The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob,

00:01:56.839 --> 00:01:59.419
 the God of our fathers glorified his servant Jesus,

00:01:59.939 --> 00:02:02.959
 whom you had delivered over and denied in the presence of Pilate.

00:02:03.639 --> 00:02:05.659
 When he had decided to release him,

00:02:06.259 --> 00:02:08.180
 but you denied the holy and righteous one

00:02:08.180 --> 00:02:10.500
 and asked for a murderer to be granted to you.

00:02:10.500 --> 00:02:14.340
 And you killed the author of life, whom God raised from the dead.

00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:16.599
 To this we are witnesses.

00:02:17.219 --> 00:02:19.400
 And his name, by faith in his name,

00:02:19.620 --> 00:02:23.219
 has made this man strong, whom you see and know.

00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:25.219
 And the faith that is through Jesus

00:02:25.219 --> 00:02:28.539
 has given the man this perfect health in the presence of you all.

00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:31.479
 And now, brothers,

00:02:31.740 --> 00:02:34.979
 I know that you acted in ignorance, as is also your rulers.

00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:38.080
 But what God foretold by the mouth of all the prophets

00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:40.660
 that his Christ would suffer, he thus fulfilled.

00:02:41.780 --> 00:02:43.320
 Repent, therefore, and turn back,

00:02:43.420 --> 00:02:44.980
 that your sins may be blotted out,

00:02:45.540 --> 00:02:48.700
 that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,

00:02:49.100 --> 00:02:51.800
 and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus,

00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:55.700
 whom heaven must receive until the time for restoring

00:02:55.700 --> 00:03:04.800
 all the things about which God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets long ago.

00:03:05.740 --> 00:03:06.480
 Moses said,

00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:11.500
 The Lord God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brothers.

00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:15.199
 You shall listen to him in whatever he tells you.

00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:19.839
 And it shall be that every soul who does not listen to that prophet

00:03:19.839 --> 00:03:22.099
 shall be destroyed from the people.

00:03:23.099 --> 00:03:25.000
 And all the prophets who have spoken,

00:03:25.339 --> 00:03:27.579
 from Samuel and those who came after him,

00:03:27.979 --> 00:03:30.120
 also proclaim these days,

00:03:30.739 --> 00:03:32.099
 You are the sons of the prophets

00:03:32.099 --> 00:03:34.719
 and of the covenant that God made with your fathers.

00:03:35.259 --> 00:03:35.979
 Sing to Abraham,

00:03:36.659 --> 00:03:41.060
 And in your offspring shall all the families of the earth be blessed.

00:03:41.959 --> 00:03:43.859
 God, having raised up his servants,

00:03:44.180 --> 00:03:45.319
 sent him to you first,

00:03:45.780 --> 00:03:48.699
 to bless you by turning every one of you from your wickedness.

00:03:49.139 --> 00:03:50.099
 This is the word of God.

00:03:50.099 --> 00:04:01.219
 Okay, let me pray for us before we dive into God's word.

00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:03.539
 Father, we come before you.

00:04:04.979 --> 00:04:07.060
 God, you are king forevermore.

00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:08.479
 Your word is life,

00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:10.680
 and your word is true.

00:04:10.939 --> 00:04:13.219
 God, as we look into your scriptures,

00:04:13.740 --> 00:04:15.240
 Father, we pray through your spirit,

00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:19.240
 would you reveal the treasures that are found in here?

00:04:19.840 --> 00:04:22.199
 Would you speak to all of us,

00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:24.460
 as individuals and as a church,

00:04:24.900 --> 00:04:25.840
 to love you,

00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:26.740
 to serve you,

00:04:26.819 --> 00:04:29.139
 to give all of ourselves away to you, God,

00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:31.280
 for you are worthy of it all.

00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:33.100
 And we glorify you.

00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:34.540
 So God, come,

00:04:34.699 --> 00:04:36.319
 be glorified in these things.

00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:37.480
 In Jesus' name we pray.

00:04:38.500 --> 00:04:38.819
 Amen.

00:04:40.699 --> 00:04:41.100
 Church,

00:04:41.300 --> 00:04:42.180
 if you don't know me,

00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:43.040
 my name is Alan.

00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:45.400
 I'm one of the staff here at Watermark.

00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:49.340
 It is such a joy to bring God's word to us this morning.

00:04:50.300 --> 00:04:52.760
 If you've been with us for the past few weeks,

00:04:52.840 --> 00:04:53.580
 about four weeks,

00:04:53.660 --> 00:04:56.180
 we've been going through the book of Acts.

00:04:57.400 --> 00:05:00.379
 And it's a volume two written by Luke,

00:05:00.939 --> 00:05:04.140
 and which basically tells us about what happened

00:05:04.140 --> 00:05:06.420
 after Jesus ascended into heaven.

00:05:06.980 --> 00:05:08.200
 And through the chapters,

00:05:08.340 --> 00:05:11.259
 we've been seeing the pouring of the Holy Spirit,

00:05:11.259 --> 00:05:13.500
 through which Peter stands up

00:05:13.500 --> 00:05:15.719
 and gives incredible sermon,

00:05:16.159 --> 00:05:17.060
 preaches the gospel,

00:05:17.459 --> 00:05:18.819
 and you have all this crowd,

00:05:18.899 --> 00:05:20.860
 about 3,000 people coming

00:05:20.860 --> 00:05:22.779
 and believing and being baptized.

00:05:23.699 --> 00:05:24.439
 And after which,

00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:25.439
 just last week,

00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:29.000
 we heard about this community that starts,

00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:31.420
 a community that's formed by God,

00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:32.920
 and in one short sentence,

00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:33.899
 it was a community,

00:05:34.060 --> 00:05:34.560
 a church,

00:05:34.599 --> 00:05:35.800
 that belonged to God

00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:38.099
 and belonged to one another.

00:05:38.100 --> 00:05:40.160
 It was an incredible community,

00:05:40.400 --> 00:05:40.740
 a church.

00:05:41.460 --> 00:05:43.879
 And apart from the people in that community

00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:46.980
 devoting themselves to the teachings of the apostles,

00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:49.800
 apart from them breaking breaks,

00:05:49.980 --> 00:05:50.460
 praying,

00:05:50.700 --> 00:05:51.480
 praising God,

00:05:51.820 --> 00:05:54.700
 as people come together to sell their possessions,

00:05:55.220 --> 00:05:56.660
 so that anyone in their midst

00:05:56.660 --> 00:05:59.720
 that were in need was given and provided for,

00:06:00.140 --> 00:06:01.920
 one of the other things that we also see

00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:05.220
 was that there were wonders and signs

00:06:05.220 --> 00:06:07.520
 that were being done through the apostles.

00:06:08.760 --> 00:06:09.940
 So, Luke,

00:06:10.260 --> 00:06:11.720
 who we know is a physician,

00:06:11.860 --> 00:06:12.340
 a doctor,

00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:15.700
 now seems to take out one of those wonders and signs

00:06:15.700 --> 00:06:19.700
 and talk about it in chapter 3 that we just read.

00:06:20.440 --> 00:06:21.040
 Now, today,

00:06:21.140 --> 00:06:21.960
 one of the questions

00:06:21.960 --> 00:06:24.320
 that it's going to help us answer

00:06:24.320 --> 00:06:26.140
 is a question that all of us

00:06:26.140 --> 00:06:27.560
 needs to answer

00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:29.220
 every day of our lives.

00:06:29.820 --> 00:06:32.040
 It's a question that we as a church,

00:06:32.100 --> 00:06:32.800
 as a group,

00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:33.819
 needs to answer

00:06:33.819 --> 00:06:36.139
 every day of our lives.

00:06:36.860 --> 00:06:37.939
 And the question is this,

00:06:38.780 --> 00:06:40.620
 what matters to you most?

00:06:41.379 --> 00:06:42.500
 What matters to,

00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:45.280
 what matters the most to us as a church?

00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:48.639
 And what we just read is that

00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:50.980
 we're going to talk about the miracle

00:06:50.980 --> 00:06:52.319
 that Peter does,

00:06:52.960 --> 00:06:54.160
 and for the second time,

00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:56.080
 he's going to stand up and explain it

00:06:56.080 --> 00:06:57.540
 and talk about

00:06:57.540 --> 00:06:59.639
 what is actually more important

00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:01.319
 than the healing.

00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:03.139
 And the healing and the miracle

00:07:03.139 --> 00:07:05.519
 is almost going to act like a signpost

00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:07.740
 pointing us towards that.

00:07:08.159 --> 00:07:09.959
 So, if you have your Bibles,

00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:10.839
 you can follow along.

00:07:10.939 --> 00:07:12.719
 Let's dive into God's Word

00:07:12.719 --> 00:07:14.300
 where the first thing we encounter is

00:07:14.300 --> 00:07:15.060
 the sign.

00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:17.600
 We're going to look into verses 1 to 10.

00:07:18.819 --> 00:07:19.800
 Now, Peter and John,

00:07:20.300 --> 00:07:22.000
 they are on their way to the temple,

00:07:22.259 --> 00:07:23.219
 and on the way there,

00:07:23.300 --> 00:07:24.800
 they encounter this lame man.

00:07:25.539 --> 00:07:27.300
 Verse 2 tells us that

00:07:27.300 --> 00:07:28.840
 this man was carried there

00:07:28.840 --> 00:07:29.960
 so that he could beg

00:07:29.960 --> 00:07:31.480
 in a gate called

00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:32.400
 the Beautiful Gate.

00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:34.720
 Since giving of alms,

00:07:34.740 --> 00:07:35.460
 or giving of money

00:07:35.460 --> 00:07:36.680
 to poor people or beggars

00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:38.040
 were something that was good

00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:39.720
 in the Jewish religion,

00:07:40.259 --> 00:07:40.879
 so that means

00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:43.680
 the place to sit

00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:44.680
 right at the temple gate

00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:46.379
 was the ideal spot.

00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:49.199
 What is more is that

00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:49.840
 in the same verse,

00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:51.060
 we see that this is a man

00:07:51.060 --> 00:07:52.540
 that was lame from birth,

00:07:52.540 --> 00:07:54.220
 which makes this miracle

00:07:54.220 --> 00:07:55.400
 even more miraculous,

00:07:55.960 --> 00:07:58.280
 and also chapter 4 tells us

00:07:58.280 --> 00:07:59.600
 that this man is actually

00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:01.200
 over 40 years old.

00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:05.720
 Now, so here is this lame man

00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:06.920
 sitting at the gate,

00:08:07.500 --> 00:08:09.080
 most probably shouting

00:08:09.080 --> 00:08:10.080
 the same thing

00:08:10.080 --> 00:08:10.879
 he has been shouting

00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:12.140
 for over 40 years.

00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:14.740
 And when suddenly

00:08:14.740 --> 00:08:15.860
 these two strangers

00:08:15.860 --> 00:08:16.960
 walk up to him,

00:08:17.540 --> 00:08:18.640
 stop before him,

00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:20.120
 look at him directly,

00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:21.800
 and one of them, Peter,

00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:23.420
 goes on to say,

00:08:24.180 --> 00:08:25.600
 I have no silver and gold.

00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:27.759
 And I'm sure the lame man's

00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:28.600
 heart must have sank,

00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:29.819
 because he believed

00:08:29.819 --> 00:08:30.420
 that that was what

00:08:30.420 --> 00:08:31.259
 he needed the most.

00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:32.779
 And that's a terrible thing

00:08:32.779 --> 00:08:33.600
 to say to a beggar.

00:08:34.259 --> 00:08:35.419
 I don't have any money.

00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:38.740
 But, Peter does not stop there.

00:08:38.899 --> 00:08:40.700
 I have no silver and gold,

00:08:41.019 --> 00:08:42.320
 but what I do have,

00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:43.320
 I give to you.

00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:45.879
 And in the name of Jesus Christ

00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:46.500
 of Nazareth,

00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:48.019
 rise up and walk.

00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:51.120
 And the man is instantaneously healed.

00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:52.720
 Peter takes him up by his hand

00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:54.159
 and raises him up,

00:08:54.460 --> 00:08:55.840
 and he begins to stand,

00:08:56.299 --> 00:08:57.399
 he begins to walk,

00:08:57.460 --> 00:08:58.460
 he begins to leap.

00:08:59.179 --> 00:09:00.460
 Maybe that's leaping

00:09:00.460 --> 00:09:02.080
 as something he might have seen

00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:03.240
 one of the children do

00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:04.600
 in front of the gate.

00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:06.539
 For the first time in his life,

00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:07.759
 he's leaping,

00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:08.600
 walking,

00:09:09.060 --> 00:09:10.460
 and jumping in joy.

00:09:11.500 --> 00:09:13.060
 It was quite a sight to behold.

00:09:14.100 --> 00:09:15.560
 Now, one of the things we see

00:09:15.560 --> 00:09:16.399
 in the book of Acts

00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:18.879
 is how the work of Jesus

00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:20.720
 after he ascended into heaven

00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:21.559
 is being continued.

00:09:22.179 --> 00:09:23.399
 Jesus came to proclaim

00:09:23.399 --> 00:09:25.120
 the good news of the kingdom,

00:09:25.579 --> 00:09:27.579
 which is continued by the believers

00:09:27.579 --> 00:09:28.840
 that take the gospel

00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:29.899
 to the ends of the earth.

00:09:30.379 --> 00:09:31.879
 We see that Jesus came

00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:33.500
 to draw people to himself,

00:09:33.620 --> 00:09:35.319
 to create a people

00:09:35.319 --> 00:09:36.340
 that belong to God,

00:09:36.340 --> 00:09:37.600
 and which we saw last week,

00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:39.379
 which is being done

00:09:39.379 --> 00:09:40.079
 through the apostles

00:09:40.079 --> 00:09:41.220
 as people are coming

00:09:41.220 --> 00:09:42.920
 to be one people

00:09:42.920 --> 00:09:43.980
 that belong to God.

00:09:44.460 --> 00:09:45.480
 Now, in chapter 3,

00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:47.820
 we just read about a healing,

00:09:47.940 --> 00:09:49.139
 which is interestingly

00:09:49.139 --> 00:09:50.779
 very similar to the healing

00:09:50.779 --> 00:09:51.440
 that is done

00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:52.560
 in Luke chapter 5.

00:09:53.460 --> 00:09:54.779
 So now, the question is,

00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:56.540
 is God still

00:09:56.540 --> 00:09:58.120
 in the miracle business?

00:09:58.980 --> 00:10:00.800
 Does God still heal

00:10:00.800 --> 00:10:03.160
 and do the supernatural things?

00:10:05.180 --> 00:10:06.259
 There was a man called

00:10:06.259 --> 00:10:07.019
 Lee Strobel.

00:10:07.220 --> 00:10:08.200
 I'm sure most of you

00:10:08.200 --> 00:10:08.860
 might have heard of him.

00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:10.320
 He's a very famous,

00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:11.300
 very well-known,

00:10:11.820 --> 00:10:14.900
 former investigative journalist,

00:10:15.420 --> 00:10:16.840
 someone who investigates

00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:18.100
 news and things.

00:10:18.560 --> 00:10:19.980
 So who, when his wife

00:10:19.980 --> 00:10:20.660
 became a Christian,

00:10:21.100 --> 00:10:22.340
 went on this journey

00:10:22.340 --> 00:10:23.800
 to investigate Christianity

00:10:23.800 --> 00:10:25.980
 just to prove his wife wrong.

00:10:26.740 --> 00:10:27.820
 But at the end of the journey,

00:10:27.920 --> 00:10:29.120
 he finds out that there's

00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:31.300
 an irrefutable evidence

00:10:31.300 --> 00:10:33.800
 for Christ and resurrection,

00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:35.120
 and at the end of it all,

00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:37.640
 he becomes a Christian himself.

00:10:38.420 --> 00:10:39.240
 Now, later on,

00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:41.399
 and he actually does

00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:42.860
 another investigation.

00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:44.940
 Later on, he's curious,

00:10:45.139 --> 00:10:45.539
 and he says,

00:10:45.659 --> 00:10:47.340
 okay, I'm going to investigate miracles.

00:10:47.940 --> 00:10:49.120
 Does miracles really happen?

00:10:49.220 --> 00:10:50.879
 So for two years,

00:10:51.060 --> 00:10:52.320
 he travels the world.

00:10:52.680 --> 00:10:53.159
 He goes,

00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:54.560
 interviews skeptics.

00:10:54.659 --> 00:10:56.580
 He talks with people

00:10:56.580 --> 00:10:58.200
 that have experienced miracles,

00:10:58.419 --> 00:10:59.600
 travels in the places

00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:00.060
 of the world

00:11:00.060 --> 00:11:01.480
 where there's reportings

00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:02.019
 of miracles

00:11:02.019 --> 00:11:03.060
 and supernatural things,

00:11:03.180 --> 00:11:04.139
 investigates it,

00:11:04.519 --> 00:11:05.620
 and at the end of it all,

00:11:05.680 --> 00:11:06.799
 he writes a book called

00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:08.219
 A Case for Miracle.

00:11:09.259 --> 00:11:10.539
 And from this book,

00:11:10.620 --> 00:11:11.219
 here's a spoiler,

00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:13.779
 here are his three conclusions.

00:11:14.259 --> 00:11:14.539
 One,

00:11:15.359 --> 00:11:16.659
 that actually God is still

00:11:16.659 --> 00:11:18.000
 in the miracle business.

00:11:18.959 --> 00:11:19.279
 Two,

00:11:19.719 --> 00:11:20.839
 that there are actually

00:11:20.839 --> 00:11:22.199
 more miracles happening

00:11:22.199 --> 00:11:23.279
 than we think.

00:11:23.979 --> 00:11:24.559
 And three,

00:11:25.079 --> 00:11:26.159
 and most of his miracles

00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:28.459
 are actually more better documented

00:11:28.459 --> 00:11:30.359
 than most skeptics think.

00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:32.180
 I mean,

00:11:32.220 --> 00:11:32.879
 my own mother

00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:33.700
 had blood cancer

00:11:33.700 --> 00:11:34.899
 and she was healed.

00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:38.759
 But I also know

00:11:38.759 --> 00:11:40.159
 of people

00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:41.419
 that are faithful,

00:11:41.980 --> 00:11:43.000
 devoted Christians,

00:11:43.740 --> 00:11:44.740
 dear friends of mine,

00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:46.259
 that were not healed.

00:11:49.100 --> 00:11:51.159
 In one of Lee Strobel's interviews,

00:11:51.320 --> 00:11:52.220
 he interviews a woman

00:11:52.220 --> 00:11:53.440
 called Barbara Snyder,

00:11:54.100 --> 00:11:54.980
 a woman who had

00:11:54.980 --> 00:11:56.480
 instantaneously been healed

00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:57.560
 from a disease

00:11:57.559 --> 00:11:58.759
 that was documented

00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:00.359
 by well-known doctors,

00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:02.299
 incredible healing.

00:12:02.500 --> 00:12:03.579
 And at the end of the interview,

00:12:03.859 --> 00:12:04.699
 he stands up

00:12:04.699 --> 00:12:05.519
 and goes to Barbara

00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:06.019
 and says,

00:12:06.419 --> 00:12:06.619
 Barbara,

00:12:06.699 --> 00:12:07.359
 can I give you a hug?

00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:10.219
 And then he asks her,

00:12:11.139 --> 00:12:11.439
 Barbara,

00:12:12.059 --> 00:12:12.979
 why you?

00:12:14.379 --> 00:12:15.559
 Why not my wife

00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:16.799
 who has chronic illness

00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:18.419
 and is in pain every day?

00:12:19.379 --> 00:12:19.559
 Why,

00:12:19.739 --> 00:12:20.519
 where is her healing?

00:12:20.959 --> 00:12:21.699
 But why you?

00:12:23.719 --> 00:12:26.039
 And Barbara looks at him

00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:26.519
 and says,

00:12:26.779 --> 00:12:28.139
 I don't know.

00:12:29.179 --> 00:12:30.079
 I don't know.

00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:33.799
 But what I do know

00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:34.899
 is that our God

00:12:34.899 --> 00:12:35.519
 is sovereign.

00:12:36.339 --> 00:12:37.599
 That his ways

00:12:37.599 --> 00:12:38.120
 and thoughts

00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:38.980
 are above ours.

00:12:39.659 --> 00:12:41.379
 That he sees things,

00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:42.419
 he knows things

00:12:42.419 --> 00:12:43.159
 that we don't.

00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:45.299
 And at the end of it all,

00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:46.199
 ultimately,

00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:47.899
 one day when Christ returns,

00:12:48.740 --> 00:12:49.839
 all of his children

00:12:49.839 --> 00:12:50.679
 will be healed.

00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:51.839
 There shall be

00:12:51.839 --> 00:12:52.480
 no more pain,

00:12:52.620 --> 00:12:53.339
 no more suffering,

00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:54.240
 no more diseases,

00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:55.079
 no more death,

00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:56.200
 no more sin.

00:12:58.460 --> 00:12:59.000
 You see,

00:12:59.080 --> 00:12:59.920
 God is still

00:12:59.920 --> 00:13:00.940
 in the miracle business,

00:13:01.520 --> 00:13:02.360
 but we should know

00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:03.340
 that he's sovereign too.

00:13:03.900 --> 00:13:04.879
 And he does

00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:05.920
 what is good,

00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:07.680
 even though we do not see

00:13:07.680 --> 00:13:09.440
 the good in right now.

00:13:10.680 --> 00:13:11.080
 Now,

00:13:11.139 --> 00:13:11.700
 I want us to note

00:13:11.700 --> 00:13:12.840
 that the title

00:13:12.840 --> 00:13:13.580
 of this first point

00:13:13.580 --> 00:13:14.200
 is the sign.

00:13:14.300 --> 00:13:15.379
 It's not healing

00:13:15.379 --> 00:13:16.940
 or miracle.

00:13:17.620 --> 00:13:18.300
 Because throughout

00:13:18.300 --> 00:13:19.040
 the book of Acts

00:13:19.040 --> 00:13:20.040
 and actually throughout

00:13:20.040 --> 00:13:21.080
 the New Testament,

00:13:21.080 --> 00:13:23.000
 one thing we're going

00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:23.900
 to see is that

00:13:23.900 --> 00:13:24.580
 wonders,

00:13:24.780 --> 00:13:25.060
 miracles,

00:13:25.160 --> 00:13:25.840
 and signs

00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:26.940
 are actually meant

00:13:26.940 --> 00:13:27.860
 to point us

00:13:27.860 --> 00:13:28.720
 to something

00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:30.340
 or is either meant

00:13:30.340 --> 00:13:31.580
 to authenticate

00:13:31.580 --> 00:13:32.460
 something.

00:13:32.580 --> 00:13:33.120
 For example,

00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:34.580
 in the previous chapter,

00:13:34.680 --> 00:13:35.180
 chapter 2,

00:13:35.259 --> 00:13:35.780
 verse 22,

00:13:35.920 --> 00:13:37.420
 Peter addresses the crowd

00:13:37.420 --> 00:13:37.840
 and he says,

00:13:37.920 --> 00:13:38.500
 men of Israel,

00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:39.460
 hear these words,

00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:40.940
 Jesus of Nazareth,

00:13:41.060 --> 00:13:42.480
 a man attested to you,

00:13:42.600 --> 00:13:43.720
 proven to you by God

00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:44.200
 with what?

00:13:44.200 --> 00:13:45.379
 With mighty works

00:13:45.379 --> 00:13:46.960
 and wonders and signs

00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:47.960
 that God did

00:13:47.960 --> 00:13:48.540
 through him

00:13:48.540 --> 00:13:49.160
 in your midst.

00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:51.419
 Later in chapter 4,

00:13:51.539 --> 00:13:52.480
 when Peter and John

00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:53.219
 are caught by the

00:13:53.219 --> 00:13:53.980
 religious leaders,

00:13:54.459 --> 00:13:55.240
 the religious leaders

00:13:55.240 --> 00:13:55.819
 are debating

00:13:55.819 --> 00:13:56.559
 what to do with them

00:13:56.559 --> 00:13:57.179
 and one of the things

00:13:57.179 --> 00:13:58.100
 they find it hard

00:13:58.100 --> 00:13:59.179
 is to deny

00:13:59.179 --> 00:14:00.860
 the notable signs

00:14:00.860 --> 00:14:02.240
 that these two men

00:14:02.240 --> 00:14:02.679
 have done

00:14:02.679 --> 00:14:04.259
 while the 40-year-old

00:14:04.259 --> 00:14:05.559
 layman was standing

00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:06.659
 right beside them.

00:14:08.100 --> 00:14:08.459
 You see,

00:14:09.579 --> 00:14:10.899
 miracles and healings

00:14:10.899 --> 00:14:11.279
 and signs

00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:12.139
 and supernatural things

00:14:12.139 --> 00:14:12.879
 are meant to either

00:14:12.879 --> 00:14:13.939
 point us to something

00:14:13.939 --> 00:14:15.279
 or to authenticate

00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:16.839
 something or someone.

00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:17.679
 So,

00:14:18.199 --> 00:14:19.039
 in this chapter 3,

00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:20.019
 what is this healing

00:14:20.019 --> 00:14:20.679
 or sign meant

00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:21.259
 to authenticate?

00:14:21.699 --> 00:14:22.599
 What is this sign

00:14:22.599 --> 00:14:23.500
 pointing us towards?

00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:25.419
 What was it that mattered

00:14:25.419 --> 00:14:26.480
 so much more

00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:27.659
 than the healing

00:14:27.659 --> 00:14:28.939
 and the excitement

00:14:28.939 --> 00:14:29.839
 that was building

00:14:29.839 --> 00:14:31.120
 around Peter and John

00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:32.079
 as people gathered

00:14:32.079 --> 00:14:33.259
 and were astounded

00:14:33.259 --> 00:14:34.759
 by what they were seeing here?

00:14:36.099 --> 00:14:36.439
 Well,

00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:36.639
 now,

00:14:36.699 --> 00:14:37.620
 Peter is going to stand up

00:14:37.620 --> 00:14:38.939
 and he's going to address

00:14:38.939 --> 00:14:39.459
 the crowd

00:14:39.459 --> 00:14:41.139
 and he's going to

00:14:41.139 --> 00:14:42.299
 explain the healing

00:14:42.299 --> 00:14:43.219
 but at the same time

00:14:43.219 --> 00:14:44.159
 he's going to help us

00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:45.159
 answer that

00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:45.799
 which leads us

00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:46.620
 to our second part,

00:14:47.059 --> 00:14:47.620
 the object

00:14:47.620 --> 00:14:48.779
 of this sign.

00:14:49.860 --> 00:14:50.039
 Now,

00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:50.679
 let's focus on

00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:51.779
 verses 11 to 16.

00:14:52.500 --> 00:14:52.799
 So,

00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:54.139
 the crowd gathers around.

00:14:54.580 --> 00:14:55.500
 They're astounded.

00:14:55.659 --> 00:14:56.740
 Verse 11 tells us

00:14:56.740 --> 00:14:56.860
 that.

00:14:56.940 --> 00:14:57.379
 They're astounded.

00:14:57.480 --> 00:14:57.980
 They're amazed

00:14:57.980 --> 00:14:58.779
 by what they're seeing.

00:14:59.580 --> 00:14:59.919
 I mean,

00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:01.779
 here's a man

00:15:01.779 --> 00:15:02.399
 that has been

00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:03.379
 in the gate

00:15:03.379 --> 00:15:04.259
 for 40 years,

00:15:04.340 --> 00:15:04.519
 right?

00:15:04.879 --> 00:15:05.259
 I mean,

00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:05.840
 I'm sure we all

00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:06.320
 go to work

00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:07.039
 and there's certain

00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:07.700
 things we see

00:15:07.700 --> 00:15:08.259
 on our way

00:15:08.259 --> 00:15:10.060
 which we get so used to.

00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:11.120
 Could be our security guards

00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:11.440
 and we're like,

00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:12.100
 we see this person

00:15:12.100 --> 00:15:12.480
 every day

00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:13.259
 and one day

00:15:13.259 --> 00:15:13.800
 when he's not there

00:15:13.800 --> 00:15:14.100
 we're like,

00:15:14.220 --> 00:15:14.960
 where did this guy go?

00:15:15.539 --> 00:15:15.960
 Must have been

00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:16.759
 the same experience.

00:15:17.259 --> 00:15:17.899
 Where is this man?

00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:18.800
 And suddenly you see

00:15:18.800 --> 00:15:19.600
 this man is standing

00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:20.480
 and leaping and jumping.

00:15:21.320 --> 00:15:22.060
 They're astounded

00:15:22.060 --> 00:15:23.480
 and Peter takes

00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:24.220
 this opportunity

00:15:24.220 --> 00:15:25.320
 as crowd gathers

00:15:25.320 --> 00:15:26.039
 to see this

00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:27.300
 and which is very similar

00:15:27.300 --> 00:15:27.960
 to chapter 2,

00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:28.180
 right?

00:15:28.259 --> 00:15:28.899
 In chapter 2

00:15:28.899 --> 00:15:29.980
 something supernatural

00:15:29.980 --> 00:15:30.560
 happens

00:15:30.560 --> 00:15:31.480
 and Peter stands up

00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:31.960
 to explain.

00:15:32.360 --> 00:15:32.920
 In chapter 3

00:15:32.920 --> 00:15:33.580
 again something

00:15:33.580 --> 00:15:34.879
 supernatural happens.

00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:35.840
 Now Peter's going

00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:36.560
 to stand up

00:15:36.560 --> 00:15:37.480
 and he's going

00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:38.580
 to address the crowd

00:15:38.580 --> 00:15:39.379
 and he basically

00:15:39.379 --> 00:15:40.360
 begins with the

00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:40.720
 caution,

00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:41.019
 right?

00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:41.519
 He says,

00:15:42.019 --> 00:15:42.800
 why do you wonder?

00:15:43.980 --> 00:15:45.200
 Or why do you look at us

00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:46.320
 as if we did it

00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:47.060
 with our power

00:15:47.060 --> 00:15:48.440
 or as if this happened

00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:49.240
 because we are

00:15:49.240 --> 00:15:50.360
 so godly people?

00:15:51.700 --> 00:15:52.259
 You see,

00:15:52.860 --> 00:15:54.259
 the sign of healing

00:15:54.259 --> 00:15:55.060
 that was happening

00:15:55.060 --> 00:15:56.519
 was them saying like,

00:15:56.580 --> 00:15:56.700
 hey,

00:15:56.720 --> 00:15:57.920
 he's not pointing this,

00:15:58.259 --> 00:15:58.980
 this sign is not

00:15:58.980 --> 00:16:00.700
 pointing you guys

00:16:00.700 --> 00:16:01.360
 towards us.

00:16:01.740 --> 00:16:03.320
 He's not authenticating us

00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:05.420
 nor is this power

00:16:05.420 --> 00:16:06.480
 that the sign

00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:07.060
 that you've seen

00:16:07.060 --> 00:16:07.740
 we don't have

00:16:07.740 --> 00:16:08.800
 the power to do this

00:16:08.800 --> 00:16:09.460
 nor are,

00:16:09.740 --> 00:16:10.320
 did we do this

00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:10.760
 because we are

00:16:10.760 --> 00:16:11.460
 so godly.

00:16:13.620 --> 00:16:15.000
 But what it was

00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:16.320
 pointing towards

00:16:16.320 --> 00:16:17.140
 or what it was

00:16:17.140 --> 00:16:18.640
 really authenticating

00:16:18.640 --> 00:16:20.040
 was what Peter

00:16:20.040 --> 00:16:21.140
 was about to say.

00:16:22.580 --> 00:16:23.740
 And in one short

00:16:23.740 --> 00:16:24.440
 sentence,

00:16:24.879 --> 00:16:25.840
 what Peter was

00:16:25.840 --> 00:16:26.800
 about to preach

00:16:26.800 --> 00:16:27.440
 or say

00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:28.600
 is this,

00:16:29.260 --> 00:16:30.320
 is the gospel

00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:31.600
 of Christ Jesus,

00:16:32.040 --> 00:16:32.660
 is the goodness

00:16:32.660 --> 00:16:33.100
 of him.

00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:35.000
 I mean,

00:16:35.060 --> 00:16:36.440
 look at verse 13

00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:36.880
 with me.

00:16:37.680 --> 00:16:38.600
 Verse 13,

00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:39.300
 Peter says,

00:16:39.700 --> 00:16:40.440
 the God of Abraham,

00:16:40.560 --> 00:16:41.420
 the God of Isaac,

00:16:41.540 --> 00:16:42.340
 the God of Jacob,

00:16:42.500 --> 00:16:43.519
 the God of our fathers

00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:44.960
 glorified his servant

00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:46.420
 Jesus whom you

00:16:46.420 --> 00:16:47.220
 delivered over

00:16:47.220 --> 00:16:48.300
 and denied in the

00:16:48.300 --> 00:16:49.200
 presence of Pilate

00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:50.440
 when he had decided

00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:51.519
 to release him.

00:16:51.700 --> 00:16:52.460
 Now that's very

00:16:52.460 --> 00:16:53.840
 interesting of what

00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:54.779
 Peter is doing here

00:16:54.779 --> 00:16:56.080
 because Peter is

00:16:56.080 --> 00:16:57.040
 saying two things

00:16:57.040 --> 00:16:58.180
 at the same time.

00:16:58.320 --> 00:16:59.060
 He's saying,

00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:00.899
 this is who Jesus is

00:17:00.899 --> 00:17:02.340
 and this is what

00:17:02.340 --> 00:17:03.180
 you have done to him.

00:17:03.179 --> 00:17:04.679
 I mean,

00:17:04.879 --> 00:17:05.500
 he's saying,

00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:07.299
 this is Jesus,

00:17:07.619 --> 00:17:08.240
 the one who

00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:09.899
 our fathers chose.

00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:10.839
 He's the chosen

00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:11.799
 servant of the

00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:12.799
 God of our fathers.

00:17:13.859 --> 00:17:15.519
 But you denied him,

00:17:15.639 --> 00:17:16.359
 you delivered him

00:17:16.359 --> 00:17:16.940
 and denied him

00:17:16.940 --> 00:17:17.480
 and killed him.

00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:18.980
 Verse 14,

00:17:19.139 --> 00:17:20.000
 he's the holy

00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:21.019
 and the righteous one

00:17:21.019 --> 00:17:22.379
 but you denied him

00:17:22.379 --> 00:17:23.859
 and asked for a

00:17:23.859 --> 00:17:24.819
 murder in his place.

00:17:25.419 --> 00:17:26.559
 Referring to the time

00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:27.500
 when Pilate

00:17:27.500 --> 00:17:29.000
 gave people a choice

00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:30.519
 to either release

00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:31.319
 Jesus or release

00:17:31.319 --> 00:17:31.919
 this murder

00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:33.180
 called Barabbas.

00:17:34.220 --> 00:17:35.140
 Verse 15,

00:17:35.500 --> 00:17:36.259
 he's the author

00:17:36.259 --> 00:17:36.980
 of life

00:17:36.980 --> 00:17:38.740
 but you killed him.

00:17:41.660 --> 00:17:42.680
 And in the end,

00:17:42.800 --> 00:17:43.360
 Peter says,

00:17:44.120 --> 00:17:45.019
 and that Jesus

00:17:45.019 --> 00:17:46.539
 is the one

00:17:46.539 --> 00:17:47.279
 through whom

00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:48.480
 this man has been healed.

00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:49.940
 Now that's a very

00:17:49.940 --> 00:17:51.420
 funny

00:17:51.420 --> 00:17:52.700
 or interesting way

00:17:52.700 --> 00:17:53.759
 to answer the question

00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:55.019
 how did this healing happen?

00:17:55.140 --> 00:17:55.380
 I mean,

00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:56.220
 Peter could have just

00:17:56.220 --> 00:17:56.920
 gone and said,

00:17:57.340 --> 00:17:57.680
 hey guys,

00:17:57.779 --> 00:17:58.560
 this man was healed

00:17:58.560 --> 00:18:00.480
 because of Jesus.

00:18:00.620 --> 00:18:01.519
 We prayed in the name

00:18:01.519 --> 00:18:01.879
 of Jesus

00:18:01.879 --> 00:18:02.599
 and we had faith

00:18:02.599 --> 00:18:02.920
 in him

00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:04.299
 and this man

00:18:04.299 --> 00:18:04.700
 was healed.

00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:06.400
 Peter could have

00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:07.019
 just said that

00:18:07.019 --> 00:18:08.000
 and got it over with

00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:09.200
 and not gone on

00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:09.920
 this long,

00:18:10.059 --> 00:18:11.259
 long paragraph.

00:18:12.619 --> 00:18:13.279
 But you see,

00:18:13.359 --> 00:18:14.359
 Peter is very intentional

00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:15.440
 about what he's doing.

00:18:16.099 --> 00:18:17.339
 Peter knows what he's saying

00:18:17.339 --> 00:18:18.420
 because,

00:18:18.619 --> 00:18:18.900
 you see,

00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:20.299
 Peter was not interested,

00:18:20.579 --> 00:18:21.460
 not just interested

00:18:21.460 --> 00:18:22.420
 in telling them

00:18:22.420 --> 00:18:23.519
 about the healing

00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:24.519
 but he was actually

00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:25.379
 more interested

00:18:25.379 --> 00:18:26.579
 in telling them

00:18:26.579 --> 00:18:27.559
 about the source

00:18:27.559 --> 00:18:28.559
 of the healing.

00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:29.919
 He was not interested

00:18:29.919 --> 00:18:30.720
 in telling them

00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:32.220
 how great this healing was

00:18:32.220 --> 00:18:33.819
 but he was more interested

00:18:33.819 --> 00:18:34.940
 in telling the people

00:18:34.940 --> 00:18:37.339
 how great the healer was.

00:18:38.419 --> 00:18:38.940
 You see,

00:18:39.019 --> 00:18:39.980
 when Peter was talking

00:18:39.980 --> 00:18:41.059
 about Jesus here,

00:18:41.619 --> 00:18:42.359
 I want us to note,

00:18:42.700 --> 00:18:43.500
 he was not talking

00:18:43.500 --> 00:18:44.379
 to a group of people

00:18:44.379 --> 00:18:44.940
 like us

00:18:44.940 --> 00:18:46.299
 who had heard about Jesus

00:18:46.299 --> 00:18:47.599
 2,000 years ago.

00:18:48.460 --> 00:18:49.399
 He was talking

00:18:49.399 --> 00:18:50.519
 to a crowd of people

00:18:50.519 --> 00:18:51.659
 that had actually

00:18:51.659 --> 00:18:52.460
 seen him,

00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:54.139
 seen Jesus

00:18:54.140 --> 00:18:55.320
 just a few months back.

00:18:55.460 --> 00:18:56.080
 Maybe seen,

00:18:56.480 --> 00:18:57.480
 heard Jesus teaching.

00:18:57.920 --> 00:18:58.840
 Maybe this is a group

00:18:58.840 --> 00:18:59.200
 of people

00:18:59.200 --> 00:18:59.960
 that have seen

00:18:59.960 --> 00:19:01.060
 the miracles of Jesus

00:19:01.060 --> 00:19:02.060
 that have maybe

00:19:02.060 --> 00:19:02.720
 some of them

00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:03.460
 have been healed

00:19:03.460 --> 00:19:04.540
 by Jesus themselves.

00:19:05.020 --> 00:19:05.560
 Some of them

00:19:05.560 --> 00:19:06.180
 might have been

00:19:06.180 --> 00:19:06.820
 shouting,

00:19:06.980 --> 00:19:07.840
 crucify him.

00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:08.920
 Or maybe there's

00:19:08.920 --> 00:19:09.660
 people in the crowd

00:19:09.660 --> 00:19:10.680
 that have actually

00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:11.680
 seen Jesus died.

00:19:12.320 --> 00:19:13.200
 And Peter is standing

00:19:13.200 --> 00:19:14.100
 in this crowd

00:19:14.100 --> 00:19:15.200
 and he's saying,

00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:16.020
 yes,

00:19:16.640 --> 00:19:17.620
 that's the Jesus

00:19:17.620 --> 00:19:19.600
 that I am talking about.

00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:21.860
 Whom you all know,

00:19:22.040 --> 00:19:22.660
 have seen,

00:19:22.660 --> 00:19:24.440
 and whom you all know

00:19:24.440 --> 00:19:25.660
 perfectly well

00:19:25.660 --> 00:19:26.640
 that had died.

00:19:28.400 --> 00:19:30.040
 But Peter is also saying,

00:19:30.560 --> 00:19:31.160
 but guess what?

00:19:31.900 --> 00:19:32.740
 Jesus is not just

00:19:32.740 --> 00:19:33.380
 any other man.

00:19:34.340 --> 00:19:35.100
 Yes, he died,

00:19:35.320 --> 00:19:35.980
 but there's more.

00:19:36.420 --> 00:19:37.300
 And in verse 15,

00:19:37.360 --> 00:19:37.779
 he says,

00:19:38.320 --> 00:19:38.840
 yes, he died,

00:19:38.940 --> 00:19:40.259
 but God raised him up

00:19:40.259 --> 00:19:40.900
 from the dead

00:19:40.900 --> 00:19:42.500
 to which all of us,

00:19:42.759 --> 00:19:43.200
 we too,

00:19:43.420 --> 00:19:44.140
 Peter and John,

00:19:44.340 --> 00:19:44.960
 are witnesses.

00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:45.620
 In fact,

00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:47.160
 there are a lot more witnesses

00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:49.019
 the fact that Jesus

00:19:49.019 --> 00:19:49.900
 was risen

00:19:49.900 --> 00:19:50.740
 and he's alive.

00:19:50.740 --> 00:19:53.519
 So this is what

00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:54.120
 Peter is saying.

00:19:54.599 --> 00:19:54.779
 Yes,

00:19:54.819 --> 00:19:56.420
 he's truly the chosen one.

00:19:56.799 --> 00:19:56.980
 Yes,

00:19:57.000 --> 00:19:58.519
 he's truly the glorified

00:19:58.519 --> 00:19:59.359
 servant of God.

00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:01.039
 He's truly the holy,

00:20:01.539 --> 00:20:02.440
 the set apart,

00:20:02.579 --> 00:20:03.079
 the righteous,

00:20:03.220 --> 00:20:04.299
 the perfectly moral,

00:20:04.460 --> 00:20:05.200
 perfect being.

00:20:05.400 --> 00:20:06.920
 He's truly that Christ.

00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:08.039
 He's the author of life,

00:20:08.380 --> 00:20:09.279
 the source of life.

00:20:09.339 --> 00:20:10.299
 Can you think about that?

00:20:10.640 --> 00:20:11.940
 Jesus is the source of life,

00:20:12.019 --> 00:20:13.359
 the very air that we breathe,

00:20:13.599 --> 00:20:15.019
 the very bodies that we have,

00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:16.220
 the very souls that we have,

00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:17.579
 the very nerves that we have.

00:20:17.579 --> 00:20:19.639
 Jesus is the one

00:20:19.639 --> 00:20:20.899
 who gives us,

00:20:21.199 --> 00:20:22.659
 he's the source of life,

00:20:22.779 --> 00:20:23.879
 he's the author of life

00:20:23.879 --> 00:20:25.519
 and he's not just dead,

00:20:25.819 --> 00:20:26.740
 he's truly risen.

00:20:27.939 --> 00:20:28.799
 This is Christ,

00:20:28.879 --> 00:20:29.960
 this is what Peter is saying

00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:30.399
 to them.

00:20:31.679 --> 00:20:33.059
 But Peter is also saying,

00:20:34.099 --> 00:20:34.559
 but guys,

00:20:35.439 --> 00:20:36.099
 you killed him.

00:20:37.339 --> 00:20:38.439
 You denied him.

00:20:39.259 --> 00:20:40.439
 You chose a murderer

00:20:40.439 --> 00:20:41.839
 to be set free

00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:42.500
 instead of him.

00:20:42.500 --> 00:20:45.619
 Now I'm sure

00:20:45.619 --> 00:20:46.759
 among that crowd,

00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:47.359
 there must have been

00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:48.500
 few people that have,

00:20:48.700 --> 00:20:49.440
 must have been thinking,

00:20:49.619 --> 00:20:50.000
 whoa, whoa, whoa,

00:20:50.079 --> 00:20:50.519
 wait Peter.

00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:52.480
 I was not even in town

00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:53.240
 when they killed Peter.

00:20:53.660 --> 00:20:54.359
 They killed John,

00:20:54.579 --> 00:20:54.799
 Jesus.

00:20:55.400 --> 00:20:56.839
 I was in the other side of town

00:20:56.839 --> 00:20:57.880
 preparing my family

00:20:57.880 --> 00:20:58.539
 for Passover.

00:20:59.220 --> 00:20:59.480
 I mean,

00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:00.160
 I didn't even shout,

00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:01.200
 I didn't do any of the things

00:21:01.200 --> 00:21:01.720
 that you said.

00:21:02.099 --> 00:21:02.339
 I mean,

00:21:02.380 --> 00:21:03.299
 this guy might have did it,

00:21:03.339 --> 00:21:03.920
 but I don't know,

00:21:04.079 --> 00:21:04.539
 it's not me.

00:21:06.539 --> 00:21:07.539
 And beloved friends,

00:21:08.299 --> 00:21:09.500
 maybe that's what we think too.

00:21:10.539 --> 00:21:11.500
 Maybe we literally are

00:21:11.500 --> 00:21:12.819
 in the way we live.

00:21:15.339 --> 00:21:16.079
 But it is true,

00:21:16.180 --> 00:21:16.460
 you see,

00:21:16.700 --> 00:21:17.900
 none of us in this hall

00:21:17.900 --> 00:21:19.339
 was there to nail Jesus

00:21:19.339 --> 00:21:20.339
 at the cross.

00:21:20.640 --> 00:21:21.359
 None of us was there

00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:22.599
 shouting crucify him.

00:21:24.039 --> 00:21:25.099
 But there's an old hymn

00:21:25.099 --> 00:21:26.779
 that might help us.

00:21:27.240 --> 00:21:27.799
 And there's an old hymn

00:21:27.799 --> 00:21:29.220
 that we do sing at Watermark

00:21:29.220 --> 00:21:30.079
 and it goes like this.

00:21:31.079 --> 00:21:32.480
 Behold the man upon a cross,

00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:34.079
 my sin upon his shoulders.

00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:36.859
 Ashamed I hear my mocking voice

00:21:36.859 --> 00:21:38.799
 call out among the scoffers.

00:21:39.640 --> 00:21:40.859
 It was my sin

00:21:40.859 --> 00:21:42.019
 that held him there

00:21:42.019 --> 00:21:43.719
 until it was accomplished.

00:21:44.379 --> 00:21:45.339
 His dying breath

00:21:45.339 --> 00:21:46.619
 has brought me life.

00:21:47.059 --> 00:21:48.339
 I know that it is finished.

00:21:50.179 --> 00:21:50.659
 Church,

00:21:50.740 --> 00:21:51.759
 it might not have been

00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:52.479
 our hands

00:21:52.479 --> 00:21:53.919
 that nailed Christ

00:21:53.919 --> 00:21:55.299
 to the cross,

00:21:55.779 --> 00:21:56.839
 but it was definitely

00:21:56.839 --> 00:21:57.559
 our sin

00:21:57.559 --> 00:21:58.919
 that took him

00:21:58.919 --> 00:21:59.959
 and held him

00:21:59.959 --> 00:22:00.639
 at the cross.

00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:04.960
 1 Peter 2.24

00:22:04.960 --> 00:22:05.600
 tells us,

00:22:05.720 --> 00:22:05.940
 he,

00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:06.940
 Jesus himself,

00:22:07.040 --> 00:22:08.160
 bore our sin

00:22:08.160 --> 00:22:10.180
 in his body

00:22:10.180 --> 00:22:10.940
 at the cross.

00:22:12.259 --> 00:22:13.820
 And this could be a place

00:22:13.820 --> 00:22:14.860
 where we could take a pause

00:22:14.860 --> 00:22:15.400
 and think,

00:22:15.900 --> 00:22:16.259
 church,

00:22:16.320 --> 00:22:17.220
 how much do we ponder

00:22:17.220 --> 00:22:18.000
 about that?

00:22:19.720 --> 00:22:20.900
 How much do we ponder

00:22:20.900 --> 00:22:22.500
 about our sin

00:22:22.500 --> 00:22:24.160
 that nailed

00:22:24.160 --> 00:22:25.220
 and held Christ

00:22:25.220 --> 00:22:25.900
 to the cross?

00:22:26.580 --> 00:22:26.860
 You know,

00:22:26.859 --> 00:22:27.519
 in my life,

00:22:27.599 --> 00:22:28.500
 I'm very quick

00:22:28.500 --> 00:22:29.539
 to ask for forgiveness

00:22:29.539 --> 00:22:31.019
 and say,

00:22:31.199 --> 00:22:31.519
 thank you,

00:22:31.559 --> 00:22:31.779
 Jesus,

00:22:31.859 --> 00:22:32.439
 and move on

00:22:32.439 --> 00:22:33.179
 with life.

00:22:34.579 --> 00:22:35.539
 Which is not bad.

00:22:36.619 --> 00:22:38.019
 But there is wisdom

00:22:38.019 --> 00:22:39.679
 in actually pausing

00:22:39.679 --> 00:22:41.139
 and meditating

00:22:41.139 --> 00:22:44.019
 over the depravity

00:22:44.019 --> 00:22:45.759
 and the terrible nature

00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:46.479
 of our sin.

00:22:46.480 --> 00:22:49.140
 You see,

00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:50.099
 this is a quote

00:22:50.099 --> 00:22:51.539
 that was taken

00:22:51.539 --> 00:22:52.220
 from an article

00:22:52.220 --> 00:22:52.839
 from a website

00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:54.000
 called Desiring God

00:22:54.000 --> 00:22:54.860
 written by a man

00:22:54.860 --> 00:22:56.180
 called Greg Morse.

00:22:56.620 --> 00:22:57.140
 And at the end

00:22:57.140 --> 00:22:57.660
 of the article,

00:22:57.799 --> 00:22:58.420
 he says this.

00:22:58.579 --> 00:22:58.920
 He says,

00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:00.500
 I've watched

00:23:00.500 --> 00:23:01.460
 The Passion of Christ,

00:23:01.960 --> 00:23:02.920
 which is an old movie

00:23:02.920 --> 00:23:03.980
 about the death of Jesus.

00:23:04.680 --> 00:23:05.259
 I've watched

00:23:05.259 --> 00:23:06.039
 The Passion of Christ

00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:06.660
 each year

00:23:06.660 --> 00:23:07.599
 for four years

00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:08.720
 being moved

00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:09.880
 every time to tears,

00:23:10.539 --> 00:23:11.140
 which I'm sure

00:23:11.140 --> 00:23:12.059
 all of us can relate.

00:23:13.019 --> 00:23:14.000
 And all the while,

00:23:14.160 --> 00:23:15.620
 I was not truly born again.

00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:16.240
 All the while,

00:23:16.240 --> 00:23:17.039
 my life was not

00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:17.740
 really changed.

00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:20.700
 And I thought myself

00:23:20.700 --> 00:23:21.720
 better for crying

00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:22.880
 as if my sins

00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:24.220
 would be passed over

00:23:24.220 --> 00:23:26.160
 if I had tears

00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:27.559
 painted on the doorpost.

00:23:28.640 --> 00:23:28.980
 You see,

00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:29.839
 it did not take

00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:30.799
 a regenerate heart,

00:23:30.900 --> 00:23:31.720
 a changed heart

00:23:31.720 --> 00:23:32.720
 to weep over

00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:33.839
 the sufferings of Jesus

00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:35.579
 while our world

00:23:35.579 --> 00:23:36.700
 is full of unbelievers

00:23:36.700 --> 00:23:38.480
 who cry over sad things.

00:23:39.400 --> 00:23:40.700
 But it did take

00:23:40.700 --> 00:23:41.680
 a regenerate heart

00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:42.519
 to mourn over

00:23:42.519 --> 00:23:44.880
 what I rarely mourned over.

00:23:44.880 --> 00:23:46.700
 And it was my sins.

00:23:49.840 --> 00:23:50.320
 Church,

00:23:50.380 --> 00:23:51.420
 how much does our sin

00:23:51.420 --> 00:23:52.220
 make us weep?

00:23:53.620 --> 00:23:55.000
 When was the last time

00:23:55.000 --> 00:23:56.860
 we fell on our knees

00:23:56.860 --> 00:23:58.260
 and mourned over

00:23:58.260 --> 00:23:58.920
 our sin

00:23:58.920 --> 00:24:00.800
 that took our Savior

00:24:00.800 --> 00:24:02.080
 to the cross?

00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:05.480
 And there is wisdom

00:24:05.480 --> 00:24:06.559
 in staying there.

00:24:08.179 --> 00:24:09.039
 But there is also

00:24:09.039 --> 00:24:09.960
 this news that

00:24:09.960 --> 00:24:11.159
 and there is also

00:24:11.159 --> 00:24:11.799
 this truth

00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:13.419
 that the burden

00:24:13.419 --> 00:24:13.859
 of sin

00:24:13.859 --> 00:24:14.460
 is something

00:24:14.460 --> 00:24:15.419
 none of us can bear.

00:24:15.919 --> 00:24:16.740
 Which is why

00:24:16.740 --> 00:24:18.000
 Jesus took our sin

00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:19.519
 upon Himself

00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:20.539
 on that cross.

00:24:20.879 --> 00:24:21.740
 None of us can bear

00:24:21.740 --> 00:24:22.220
 the burden

00:24:22.220 --> 00:24:23.679
 and the penalty

00:24:23.679 --> 00:24:24.379
 of our sin.

00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:25.699
 Jesus took it

00:24:25.699 --> 00:24:26.319
 on Himself

00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:27.000
 on the cross.

00:24:27.179 --> 00:24:27.819
 He died

00:24:27.819 --> 00:24:29.319
 and rose again

00:24:29.319 --> 00:24:30.539
 paying the penalty

00:24:30.539 --> 00:24:31.200
 of our sin

00:24:31.200 --> 00:24:31.919
 that none of us

00:24:31.919 --> 00:24:32.379
 could do.

00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:34.039
 Freeing us

00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:35.359
 and feed us

00:24:35.359 --> 00:24:36.119
 from the power

00:24:36.119 --> 00:24:36.659
 of sin

00:24:36.659 --> 00:24:37.899
 and ultimately

00:24:37.899 --> 00:24:38.339
 one day

00:24:38.339 --> 00:24:39.119
 when He returns

00:24:39.119 --> 00:24:40.159
 there shall be

00:24:40.159 --> 00:24:40.759
 no more sin.

00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:43.119
 Jesus did that

00:24:43.119 --> 00:24:44.399
 and Peter knew that.

00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:45.480
 Peter knew

00:24:45.480 --> 00:24:46.059
 the people

00:24:46.059 --> 00:24:46.579
 that were listening

00:24:46.579 --> 00:24:46.980
 to Him

00:24:46.980 --> 00:24:47.799
 could not bear

00:24:47.799 --> 00:24:49.000
 the burden of sin.

00:24:49.119 --> 00:24:49.740
 Which is why

00:24:49.740 --> 00:24:50.939
 thankfully

00:24:50.939 --> 00:24:51.799
 He continues

00:24:51.799 --> 00:24:52.519
 His sermon.

00:24:53.359 --> 00:24:53.879
 Because you see

00:24:53.879 --> 00:24:54.259
 the goodness

00:24:54.259 --> 00:24:55.220
 of Jesus Christ

00:24:55.220 --> 00:24:55.859
 the gospel

00:24:55.859 --> 00:24:56.559
 does not

00:24:56.559 --> 00:24:57.639
 just end there.

00:24:57.699 --> 00:24:58.159
 The gospel

00:24:58.159 --> 00:24:58.719
 ends

00:24:58.719 --> 00:24:59.959
 in an invitation.

00:25:00.639 --> 00:25:01.359
 An invitation

00:25:01.359 --> 00:25:02.059
 to come

00:25:02.059 --> 00:25:02.759
 invitation

00:25:02.759 --> 00:25:03.539
 to come

00:25:03.539 --> 00:25:04.459
 and turn away

00:25:04.459 --> 00:25:05.500
 from our sin.

00:25:05.579 --> 00:25:06.279
 Which leads us

00:25:06.279 --> 00:25:07.459
 to our last point.

00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:08.399
 The call

00:25:08.399 --> 00:25:09.539
 to turn away.

00:25:10.879 --> 00:25:11.479
 Let's look at

00:25:11.479 --> 00:25:12.559
 the last few verses

00:25:12.559 --> 00:25:13.559
 from verse 17

00:25:13.559 --> 00:25:14.259
 to 26.

00:25:16.259 --> 00:25:17.339
 Verse 17

00:25:17.339 --> 00:25:18.079
 Peter begins

00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:19.899
 and says

00:25:19.899 --> 00:25:21.379
 you have acted

00:25:21.379 --> 00:25:22.179
 in ignorance.

00:25:22.439 --> 00:25:23.119
 Or in other words

00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:24.359
 you did not know.

00:25:24.799 --> 00:25:25.399
 Well God knew

00:25:25.400 --> 00:25:26.440
 but you guys

00:25:26.440 --> 00:25:26.980
 did not know.

00:25:27.960 --> 00:25:28.740
 And that's very

00:25:28.740 --> 00:25:29.560
 interesting because

00:25:29.560 --> 00:25:30.440
 isn't that one

00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:30.980
 of the things

00:25:30.980 --> 00:25:31.780
 that sin

00:25:31.780 --> 00:25:32.500
 does to us?

00:25:34.040 --> 00:25:35.320
 Sin makes us

00:25:35.320 --> 00:25:35.680
 blind

00:25:35.680 --> 00:25:36.460
 to our own

00:25:36.460 --> 00:25:36.920
 sinfulness.

00:25:37.420 --> 00:25:38.300
 Sin makes us

00:25:38.300 --> 00:25:38.980
 blind to our

00:25:38.980 --> 00:25:40.000
 own depravity

00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:41.040
 our own

00:25:41.040 --> 00:25:42.360
 disgusting nature

00:25:42.360 --> 00:25:43.320
 of sin

00:25:43.320 --> 00:25:44.160
 that lies within.

00:25:44.820 --> 00:25:45.519
 That's what sin

00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:46.080
 does and that's

00:25:46.080 --> 00:25:46.740
 a very sober

00:25:46.740 --> 00:25:48.040
 warning to hear

00:25:48.040 --> 00:25:48.620
 this morning.

00:25:49.700 --> 00:25:50.200
 Because

00:25:50.200 --> 00:25:51.140
 and the question

00:25:51.140 --> 00:25:51.640
 is are we

00:25:51.640 --> 00:25:52.480
 blinded by our

00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:52.720
 sin?

00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:54.539
 so much

00:25:54.539 --> 00:25:54.960
 that we

00:25:54.960 --> 00:25:55.220
 are

00:25:55.220 --> 00:25:56.759
 unresponsive

00:25:56.759 --> 00:25:57.259
 our hearts

00:25:57.259 --> 00:25:58.140
 are unresponsive

00:25:58.140 --> 00:25:58.640
 to God's

00:25:58.640 --> 00:25:58.920
 word

00:25:58.920 --> 00:26:00.000
 and godly

00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:00.440
 counsel.

00:26:01.539 --> 00:26:02.160
 That's a

00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:02.880
 legit warning

00:26:02.880 --> 00:26:03.140
 here.

00:26:05.039 --> 00:26:05.900
 Well and Peter

00:26:05.900 --> 00:26:06.380
 goes on

00:26:06.380 --> 00:26:06.960
 then he says

00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:07.900
 well

00:26:07.900 --> 00:26:09.120
 repent

00:26:09.120 --> 00:26:10.680
 turn back.

00:26:10.680 --> 00:26:12.900
 he says

00:26:12.900 --> 00:26:13.259
 that in

00:26:13.259 --> 00:26:13.539
 verse

00:26:13.539 --> 00:26:15.500
 19

00:26:15.500 --> 00:26:15.860
 repent

00:26:15.860 --> 00:26:16.320
 therefore

00:26:16.320 --> 00:26:17.120
 turn back

00:26:17.120 --> 00:26:18.080
 that your

00:26:18.080 --> 00:26:18.480
 sins

00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:18.860
 may be

00:26:18.860 --> 00:26:19.100
 blotted

00:26:19.100 --> 00:26:19.360
 out.

00:26:19.440 --> 00:26:19.720
 And that

00:26:19.720 --> 00:26:19.980
 is what

00:26:19.980 --> 00:26:20.400
 repentance

00:26:20.400 --> 00:26:21.060
 is isn't

00:26:21.060 --> 00:26:21.240
 it?

00:26:21.720 --> 00:26:22.120
 To turn

00:26:22.120 --> 00:26:22.320
 back

00:26:22.320 --> 00:26:22.660
 to turn

00:26:22.660 --> 00:26:23.039
 and 180

00:26:23.039 --> 00:26:23.600
 decrease

00:26:23.600 --> 00:26:24.299
 turn away.

00:26:25.380 --> 00:26:26.080
 And many

00:26:26.080 --> 00:26:26.460
 times we

00:26:26.460 --> 00:26:27.019
 think that

00:26:27.019 --> 00:26:27.960
 repentance

00:26:27.960 --> 00:26:28.980
 is sober

00:26:28.980 --> 00:26:29.960
 and serious

00:26:29.960 --> 00:26:31.380
 and many

00:26:31.380 --> 00:26:32.279
 times

00:26:32.279 --> 00:26:33.279
 many ways

00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:34.420
 sad.

00:26:35.200 --> 00:26:35.900
 But actually

00:26:35.900 --> 00:26:36.440
 if you really

00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:36.880
 look at what

00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:37.660
 Peter is saying

00:26:37.660 --> 00:26:38.779
 he's actually

00:26:38.779 --> 00:26:39.539
 very joyful.

00:26:40.680 --> 00:26:42.120
 At times

00:26:42.120 --> 00:26:42.400
 yes

00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:43.120
 repentance

00:26:43.120 --> 00:26:44.440
 is serious

00:26:44.440 --> 00:26:45.799
 but at the

00:26:45.799 --> 00:26:46.299
 same time

00:26:46.299 --> 00:26:46.900
 repentance

00:26:46.900 --> 00:26:47.560
 is also

00:26:47.560 --> 00:26:48.080
 joyful

00:26:48.080 --> 00:26:48.799
 and full

00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:49.700
 of great

00:26:49.700 --> 00:26:50.220
 celebration.

00:26:50.779 --> 00:26:50.980
 I mean

00:26:50.980 --> 00:26:51.400
 it's like

00:26:51.400 --> 00:26:51.900
 a child

00:26:51.900 --> 00:26:53.060
 that is

00:26:53.060 --> 00:26:53.480
 wondering

00:26:53.480 --> 00:26:53.960
 if his

00:26:53.960 --> 00:26:54.480
 mother is

00:26:54.480 --> 00:26:55.039
 still angry

00:26:55.039 --> 00:26:55.420
 with him

00:26:55.420 --> 00:26:55.779
 or not

00:26:55.779 --> 00:26:56.620
 and suddenly

00:26:56.620 --> 00:26:57.380
 sees a

00:26:57.380 --> 00:26:58.140
 smiling face

00:26:58.140 --> 00:26:58.400
 and an

00:26:58.400 --> 00:26:58.840
 open arm.

00:26:59.360 --> 00:26:59.740
 It's like

00:26:59.740 --> 00:27:00.360
 two friends

00:27:00.360 --> 00:27:00.700
 that have

00:27:00.700 --> 00:27:01.320
 been quarreling

00:27:01.320 --> 00:27:01.860
 for a long

00:27:01.860 --> 00:27:02.200
 time

00:27:02.200 --> 00:27:03.560
 and finally

00:27:03.560 --> 00:27:04.080
 after a

00:27:04.080 --> 00:27:04.440
 long

00:27:04.440 --> 00:27:05.940
 conversation

00:27:05.940 --> 00:27:07.060
 they have

00:27:07.060 --> 00:27:07.600
 a reconciliation.

00:27:08.980 --> 00:27:09.299
 And in

00:27:09.299 --> 00:27:09.940
 this case

00:27:09.940 --> 00:27:10.860
 it's our

00:27:10.860 --> 00:27:11.120
 loving

00:27:11.120 --> 00:27:11.519
 father

00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:12.759
 against

00:27:12.759 --> 00:27:13.460
 whom we

00:27:13.460 --> 00:27:13.799
 sin

00:27:13.799 --> 00:27:14.779
 which brings

00:27:14.779 --> 00:27:15.559
 this massive

00:27:15.559 --> 00:27:16.180
 chasm

00:27:16.180 --> 00:27:17.200
 between us

00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:17.720
 and a holy

00:27:17.720 --> 00:27:18.080
 God

00:27:18.080 --> 00:27:19.039
 but instead

00:27:19.039 --> 00:27:19.480
 of us

00:27:19.480 --> 00:27:20.039
 paying the

00:27:20.039 --> 00:27:20.539
 penalty of

00:27:20.539 --> 00:27:20.840
 sin

00:27:20.840 --> 00:27:21.799
 he pays

00:27:21.799 --> 00:27:22.000
 it

00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:22.759
 by sending

00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:23.480
 his son

00:27:23.480 --> 00:27:25.080
 Jesus Christ

00:27:25.080 --> 00:27:25.420
 so that

00:27:25.420 --> 00:27:25.820
 whoever

00:27:25.820 --> 00:27:26.620
 turns to

00:27:26.620 --> 00:27:26.940
 him

00:27:26.940 --> 00:27:27.820
 whoever

00:27:27.820 --> 00:27:28.480
 repents

00:27:28.480 --> 00:27:28.960
 and looks

00:27:28.960 --> 00:27:29.660
 towards him

00:27:29.660 --> 00:27:30.680
 will be

00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:31.580
 reconciled

00:27:31.580 --> 00:27:32.559
 joyfully

00:27:32.559 --> 00:27:33.559
 to the one

00:27:33.559 --> 00:27:34.200
 who knows

00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:34.559
 us

00:27:34.559 --> 00:27:35.860
 who created

00:27:35.860 --> 00:27:36.299
 us

00:27:36.299 --> 00:27:37.220
 and who

00:27:37.220 --> 00:27:37.779
 loves us

00:27:37.779 --> 00:27:38.139
 truly

00:27:38.139 --> 00:27:40.059
 I mean

00:27:40.059 --> 00:27:40.440
 Jesus

00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:40.899
 in Luke

00:27:40.899 --> 00:27:41.480
 15

00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:42.420
 talks about

00:27:42.420 --> 00:27:43.000
 the son

00:27:43.000 --> 00:27:44.039
 who returns

00:27:44.039 --> 00:27:44.399
 to his

00:27:44.399 --> 00:27:44.660
 father

00:27:44.660 --> 00:27:45.079
 who turns

00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:45.579
 back to

00:27:45.579 --> 00:27:46.099
 his father

00:27:46.099 --> 00:27:47.339
 and as

00:27:47.339 --> 00:27:47.779
 the father

00:27:47.779 --> 00:27:48.519
 sees him

00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:49.019
 walking in

00:27:49.019 --> 00:27:49.519
 the distance

00:27:49.519 --> 00:27:50.639
 he runs

00:27:50.639 --> 00:27:51.259
 to the son

00:27:51.259 --> 00:27:51.599
 and in

00:27:51.599 --> 00:27:52.359
 great joy

00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:53.460
 embraces

00:27:53.460 --> 00:27:54.079
 the son

00:27:54.079 --> 00:27:55.920
 kisses him

00:27:55.920 --> 00:27:56.920
 and throws

00:27:56.920 --> 00:27:57.180
 him a

00:27:57.180 --> 00:27:57.680
 massive

00:27:57.680 --> 00:27:58.279
 feast

00:27:58.279 --> 00:27:59.700
 you see

00:27:59.700 --> 00:28:00.599
 repentance

00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:01.519
 yes

00:28:01.519 --> 00:28:02.200
 is serious

00:28:02.200 --> 00:28:03.279
 but repentance

00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:04.200
 is also a

00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:04.579
 call

00:28:04.579 --> 00:28:05.519
 to come

00:28:05.519 --> 00:28:06.159
 and be

00:28:06.159 --> 00:28:07.439
 reconciled

00:28:07.439 --> 00:28:07.740
 to the

00:28:07.740 --> 00:28:08.039
 father

00:28:08.039 --> 00:28:08.619
 who loves

00:28:08.619 --> 00:28:08.839
 you

00:28:08.839 --> 00:28:09.500
 it's a

00:28:09.500 --> 00:28:09.799
 call

00:28:09.799 --> 00:28:10.399
 to come

00:28:10.399 --> 00:28:11.039
 to enter

00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:11.460
 into

00:28:11.460 --> 00:28:12.419
 his joy

00:28:12.419 --> 00:28:13.299
 I mean

00:28:13.299 --> 00:28:13.519
 let's

00:28:13.519 --> 00:28:13.899
 come back

00:28:13.899 --> 00:28:14.299
 to Acts

00:28:14.299 --> 00:28:14.480
 3

00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:14.879
 look at

00:28:14.879 --> 00:28:15.079
 what

00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:15.379
 Peter

00:28:15.379 --> 00:28:15.759
 says

00:28:15.759 --> 00:28:16.079
 tells

00:28:16.079 --> 00:28:16.259
 the

00:28:16.259 --> 00:28:16.480
 crowd

00:28:16.480 --> 00:28:17.059
 verse

00:28:17.059 --> 00:28:17.559
 19

00:28:17.559 --> 00:28:18.439
 he says

00:28:18.439 --> 00:28:18.779
 turn

00:28:18.779 --> 00:28:19.099
 away

00:28:19.099 --> 00:28:19.539
 so that

00:28:19.539 --> 00:28:19.799
 why

00:28:19.799 --> 00:28:20.159
 so that

00:28:20.159 --> 00:28:20.740
 your sins

00:28:20.740 --> 00:28:21.099
 may be

00:28:21.099 --> 00:28:21.379
 blotted

00:28:21.379 --> 00:28:21.679
 out

00:28:21.679 --> 00:28:22.539
 the sin

00:28:22.539 --> 00:28:22.720
 that

00:28:22.720 --> 00:28:23.199
 kills

00:28:23.199 --> 00:28:23.480
 us

00:28:23.480 --> 00:28:24.119
 the sin

00:28:24.119 --> 00:28:24.740
 that breaks

00:28:24.740 --> 00:28:25.039
 our

00:28:25.039 --> 00:28:25.559
 relationship

00:28:25.559 --> 00:28:25.939
 with not

00:28:25.939 --> 00:28:26.399
 only God

00:28:26.399 --> 00:28:26.799
 with one

00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:27.119
 another

00:28:27.119 --> 00:28:27.939
 so that

00:28:27.939 --> 00:28:28.519
 that sin

00:28:28.519 --> 00:28:28.839
 would be

00:28:28.839 --> 00:28:29.139
 blotted

00:28:29.139 --> 00:28:29.519
 out

00:28:29.519 --> 00:28:30.359
 verse

00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:30.799
 20

00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:31.460
 so that

00:28:31.460 --> 00:28:31.960
 a time

00:28:31.960 --> 00:28:32.639
 of refreshing

00:28:32.639 --> 00:28:33.299
 may come

00:28:33.299 --> 00:28:34.700
 verse 25

00:28:34.700 --> 00:28:35.240
 so that

00:28:35.240 --> 00:28:35.759
 blessing

00:28:35.759 --> 00:28:36.379
 would come

00:28:36.379 --> 00:28:37.440
 through you

00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:37.879
 to all

00:28:37.879 --> 00:28:38.299
 nations

00:28:38.299 --> 00:28:38.940
 and verse

00:28:38.940 --> 00:28:39.500
 26

00:28:39.500 --> 00:28:40.180
 so that

00:28:40.180 --> 00:28:40.480
 you would

00:28:40.480 --> 00:28:41.039
 be freed

00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:41.859
 from

00:28:41.859 --> 00:28:42.619
 wickedness

00:28:42.619 --> 00:28:44.680
 this is

00:28:44.680 --> 00:28:45.180
 what Peter

00:28:45.180 --> 00:28:45.779
 is calling

00:28:45.779 --> 00:28:46.319
 the people

00:28:46.319 --> 00:28:46.680
 into

00:28:46.680 --> 00:28:48.680
 to come

00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:49.200
 enter

00:28:49.200 --> 00:28:49.579
 into a

00:28:49.579 --> 00:28:50.019
 place

00:28:50.019 --> 00:28:50.879
 where you

00:28:50.879 --> 00:28:51.659
 are truly

00:28:51.659 --> 00:28:52.339
 freed

00:28:52.339 --> 00:28:53.740
 where you

00:28:53.740 --> 00:28:54.299
 are truly

00:28:54.299 --> 00:28:55.099
 in joy

00:28:55.099 --> 00:28:55.919
 at peace

00:28:55.919 --> 00:28:57.099
 one with

00:28:57.099 --> 00:28:57.419
 the one

00:28:57.419 --> 00:28:57.799
 who made

00:28:57.799 --> 00:28:58.000
 you

00:28:58.000 --> 00:28:58.619
 and loves

00:28:58.619 --> 00:28:58.799
 you

00:28:58.799 --> 00:29:00.579
 the place

00:29:00.579 --> 00:29:00.960
 where

00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:01.720
 your

00:29:01.720 --> 00:29:02.220
 souls

00:29:02.220 --> 00:29:02.859
 are

00:29:02.859 --> 00:29:03.180
 truly

00:29:03.180 --> 00:29:03.819
 satisfied

00:29:03.819 --> 00:29:07.079
 well

00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:07.319
 Peter

00:29:07.319 --> 00:29:07.759
 doesn't

00:29:07.759 --> 00:29:07.940
 just

00:29:07.940 --> 00:29:08.240
 stop

00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:08.419
 there

00:29:08.419 --> 00:29:08.819
 he

00:29:08.819 --> 00:29:09.519
 doesn't

00:29:09.519 --> 00:29:09.700
 just

00:29:09.700 --> 00:29:10.000
 stop

00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:10.259
 telling

00:29:10.259 --> 00:29:10.559
 people

00:29:10.559 --> 00:29:10.759
 to

00:29:10.759 --> 00:29:10.980
 turn

00:29:10.980 --> 00:29:11.180
 away

00:29:11.180 --> 00:29:11.379
 he

00:29:11.379 --> 00:29:11.619
 actually

00:29:11.619 --> 00:29:11.960
 tells

00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:12.139
 them

00:29:12.139 --> 00:29:12.559
 one

00:29:12.559 --> 00:29:12.759
 more

00:29:12.759 --> 00:29:13.039
 thing

00:29:13.039 --> 00:29:13.279
 and he

00:29:13.279 --> 00:29:13.519
 says

00:29:13.519 --> 00:29:14.240
 yes

00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:14.559
 turn

00:29:14.559 --> 00:29:14.899
 away

00:29:14.899 --> 00:29:15.819
 but

00:29:15.819 --> 00:29:16.139
 there's

00:29:16.139 --> 00:29:16.480
 something

00:29:16.480 --> 00:29:16.819
 you gotta

00:29:16.819 --> 00:29:17.240
 turn

00:29:17.240 --> 00:29:17.980
 towards

00:29:17.980 --> 00:29:18.980
 he

00:29:18.980 --> 00:29:19.319
 also

00:29:19.319 --> 00:29:19.680
 tells

00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:19.960
 them

00:29:19.960 --> 00:29:20.519
 what

00:29:20.519 --> 00:29:20.720
 to

00:29:20.720 --> 00:29:20.940
 turn

00:29:20.940 --> 00:29:21.180
 to

00:29:21.180 --> 00:29:22.059
 now

00:29:22.059 --> 00:29:22.240
 look

00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:22.319
 at

00:29:22.319 --> 00:29:22.440
 the

00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:22.599
 end

00:29:22.599 --> 00:29:22.740
 of

00:29:22.740 --> 00:29:22.919
 verse

00:29:22.919 --> 00:29:23.379
 21

00:29:23.379 --> 00:29:24.500
 where

00:29:24.500 --> 00:29:24.680
 he

00:29:24.680 --> 00:29:24.859
 was

00:29:24.859 --> 00:29:25.279
 saying

00:29:25.279 --> 00:29:25.599
 about

00:29:25.599 --> 00:29:25.819
 that

00:29:25.819 --> 00:29:26.220
 hey

00:29:26.220 --> 00:29:26.539
 Jesus

00:29:26.539 --> 00:29:26.839
 is in

00:29:26.839 --> 00:29:27.159
 heaven

00:29:27.160 --> 00:29:27.940
 and one

00:29:27.940 --> 00:29:28.080
 day

00:29:28.080 --> 00:29:28.380
 he'll

00:29:28.380 --> 00:29:28.900
 return

00:29:28.900 --> 00:29:29.820
 according

00:29:29.820 --> 00:29:30.180
 to the

00:29:30.180 --> 00:29:30.500
 words

00:29:30.500 --> 00:29:31.080
 of the

00:29:31.080 --> 00:29:31.320
 great

00:29:31.320 --> 00:29:32.000
 prophets

00:29:32.000 --> 00:29:32.680
 long

00:29:32.680 --> 00:29:33.019
 ago

00:29:33.019 --> 00:29:33.400
 now

00:29:33.400 --> 00:29:33.840
 it seems

 Peter

00:29:38.080 --> 00:29:38.360

00:29:38.360 --> 00:29:38.960
 backwards

00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:39.560
 almost

00:29:39.560 --> 00:29:40.380

00:29:40.380 --> 00:29:40.540
 he's

00:29:40.540 --> 00:29:40.900
 saying

00:29:40.900 --> 00:29:41.100
 in

 he goes

00:29:42.820 --> 00:29:43.040
 on

00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:46.860
 you see

00:31:46.860 --> 00:31:47.120
 that is

00:31:47.120 --> 00:31:47.360
 a very

00:31:47.360 --> 00:31:47.740
 important

00:31:47.740 --> 00:31:48.240
 question

00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:49.140
 because

00:31:49.140 --> 00:31:49.680
 it's

00:31:49.680 --> 00:31:50.019
 going to

00:31:50.019 --> 00:31:50.460
 shape

00:31:50.460 --> 00:31:50.980
 the

 we

00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:52.620
 think

00:31:52.620 --> 00:31:52.819
 the

00:31:52.819 --> 00:31:52.960
 way

 we

 our

00:31:54.180 --> 00:31:54.480

00:31:54.480 --> 00:31:54.640
 the

00:31:54.640 --> 00:31:54.819

00:31:54.819 --> 00:31:55.120
 we

00:31:55.119 --> 00:31:56.379
 set

00:31:56.379 --> 00:31:56.619
 our

00:31:56.619 --> 00:31:57.359
 priorities

00:31:57.359 --> 00:31:59.139

00:32:00.019 --> 00:32:00.319
 what

00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:00.679
 mattered

00:32:00.679 --> 00:32:00.879
 the

 it

00:32:07.619 --> 00:32:07.799
 was

 how

00:32:08.059 --> 00:32:08.619
 great

00:32:08.619 --> 00:32:09.199
 Jesus

00:32:15.439 --> 00:32:15.839

 with

 the

 healing

00:32:16.579 --> 00:32:17.379
 but

00:32:17.379 --> 00:32:17.579
 is

00:32:17.579 --> 00:32:18.299
 dominated

00:32:18.299 --> 00:32:18.919
 by

00:32:18.919 --> 00:32:19.239
 Peter

00:32:19.239 --> 00:32:20.259
 declaring

 the

00:32:21.779 --> 00:32:22.079
 Jesus

00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:22.539
 calling

00:32:22.539 --> 00:32:22.899
 people

00:32:22.899 --> 00:32:23.079
 to

00:32:23.079 --> 00:32:23.519
 repent

00:32:23.519 --> 00:32:24.159
 and

00:32:24.159 --> 00:32:24.539
 again

00:32:24.539 --> 00:32:24.819
 going

00:32:24.819 --> 00:32:25.179
 back

00:32:25.179 --> 00:32:25.980
 showing

00:32:25.980 --> 00:32:26.379
 them

00:32:26.379 --> 00:32:26.980
 as

00:32:26.980 --> 00:32:27.119
 they

00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:27.359
 turn

00:32:27.359 --> 00:32:27.559
 back

00:32:27.559 --> 00:32:27.700
 to

00:32:27.700 --> 00:32:27.980
 him

00:32:27.980 --> 00:32:28.619
 that

00:32:28.619 --> 00:32:28.919
 this

00:32:28.919 --> 00:32:29.399
 Christ

00:32:29.399 --> 00:32:29.759
 Jesus

00:32:29.759 --> 00:32:30.519
 is

00:32:30.519 --> 00:32:30.899
 much

00:32:30.899 --> 00:32:31.399
 much

00:32:31.399 --> 00:32:31.759
 more

00:32:31.759 --> 00:32:32.179
 greater

00:32:32.179 --> 00:32:32.779
 than

00:32:32.779 --> 00:32:33.059
 anyone

00:32:33.059 --> 00:32:33.319
 has

00:32:33.319 --> 00:32:33.559
 ever

00:32:33.559 --> 00:32:34.019
 imagined

00:32:34.019 --> 00:32:36.819
 so

00:32:36.819 --> 00:32:37.039
 what

00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:37.359
 is it

00:32:37.359 --> 00:32:37.960
 that matters

00:32:37.960 --> 00:32:38.399
 most in

00:32:38.399 --> 00:32:38.859
 our lives

00:32:38.859 --> 00:32:40.319
 you see

00:32:40.319 --> 00:32:40.839
 if we

00:32:40.839 --> 00:32:41.200
 think

00:32:41.200 --> 00:32:41.700
 or if we

00:32:41.700 --> 00:32:42.019
 say

00:32:42.019 --> 00:32:43.079
 that it

00:32:43.079 --> 00:32:43.539
 is money

00:32:43.539 --> 00:32:45.000
 then

00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:45.379
 the way

00:32:45.379 --> 00:32:45.859
 we think

00:32:45.859 --> 00:32:46.720
 our value

00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:47.179
 or other

00:32:47.179 --> 00:32:47.559
 people's

00:32:47.559 --> 00:32:47.939
 value

00:32:47.939 --> 00:32:48.740
 is going

00:32:48.740 --> 00:32:48.939
 to be

00:32:48.939 --> 00:32:49.220
 shaped

00:32:49.220 --> 00:32:49.700
 by how

00:32:49.700 --> 00:32:49.960
 much

00:32:49.960 --> 00:32:50.579
 people

00:32:50.579 --> 00:32:50.879
 earn

00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:51.300
 our

00:32:51.300 --> 00:32:52.660
 time

00:32:52.660 --> 00:32:52.860
 would

00:32:52.860 --> 00:32:53.060
 be

00:32:53.060 --> 00:32:53.560
 invested

00:32:53.560 --> 00:32:53.900
 more

00:32:53.900 --> 00:32:54.020
 in

00:32:54.020 --> 00:32:54.400
 earning

00:32:54.400 --> 00:32:55.180
 money

00:32:55.180 --> 00:32:55.620
 versus

00:32:55.620 --> 00:32:57.160
 spending

00:32:57.160 --> 00:32:58.140
 time

00:32:58.140 --> 00:32:58.440
 with our

00:32:58.440 --> 00:32:58.800
 families

00:32:58.800 --> 00:32:59.080
 or other

00:32:59.080 --> 00:32:59.400
 things

00:32:59.400 --> 00:33:01.320
 if we

00:33:01.320 --> 00:33:01.580
 say

00:33:01.580 --> 00:33:01.940
 that

00:33:01.940 --> 00:33:02.640
 our

00:33:02.640 --> 00:33:03.380
 reputation

00:33:03.380 --> 00:33:04.320
 is

00:33:04.320 --> 00:33:04.700
 more

00:33:04.700 --> 00:33:05.320
 important

00:33:05.320 --> 00:33:05.920
 is the

00:33:05.920 --> 00:33:06.060
 most

00:33:06.060 --> 00:33:06.400
 important

00:33:06.400 --> 00:33:06.560
 thing

00:33:06.560 --> 00:33:06.780
 in our

00:33:06.780 --> 00:33:07.020
 lives

00:33:07.020 --> 00:33:07.240
 then

00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:08.040
 we

00:33:08.040 --> 00:33:08.200
 would

00:33:08.200 --> 00:33:08.480
 spend

00:33:08.480 --> 00:33:08.700
 most

00:33:08.700 --> 00:33:08.840
 of

00:33:08.840 --> 00:33:09.000
 our

00:33:09.000 --> 00:33:09.340
 lives

00:33:09.340 --> 00:33:09.900
 putting

00:33:09.900 --> 00:33:10.220
 on a

00:33:10.220 --> 00:33:10.580
 mask

00:33:10.580 --> 00:33:10.920
 being

00:33:10.920 --> 00:33:11.520
 perfect

00:33:11.520 --> 00:33:12.340
 by the

00:33:12.340 --> 00:33:12.560
 same

00:33:12.560 --> 00:33:12.780
 time

00:33:12.780 --> 00:33:13.420
 suffering

00:33:13.420 --> 00:33:13.920
 under

00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:14.120
 the

00:33:14.120 --> 00:33:14.360
 burden

00:33:14.360 --> 00:33:14.700
 of

00:33:14.700 --> 00:33:15.520
 being

00:33:15.520 --> 00:33:16.240
 good

00:33:16.240 --> 00:33:19.319
 but

00:33:19.319 --> 00:33:19.680
 then

00:33:19.680 --> 00:33:20.880
 but what

00:33:20.880 --> 00:33:21.120
 if the

00:33:21.120 --> 00:33:21.400
 thing

00:33:21.400 --> 00:33:21.880
 that

00:33:21.880 --> 00:33:22.180
 matters

00:33:22.180 --> 00:33:22.400
 the

00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:22.640
 most

00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:22.779
 in

00:33:22.779 --> 00:33:22.980
 our

00:33:22.980 --> 00:33:23.339
 lives

00:33:23.339 --> 00:33:23.960
 is

00:33:23.960 --> 00:33:24.099
 the

00:33:24.099 --> 00:33:24.420
 greatness

00:33:24.420 --> 00:33:24.700
 of

00:33:24.700 --> 00:33:25.000
 Christ

00:33:25.000 --> 00:33:25.359
 Jesus

00:33:25.359 --> 00:33:26.000
 and

00:33:26.000 --> 00:33:26.180
 his

00:33:26.180 --> 00:33:26.519
 work

00:33:26.519 --> 00:33:27.299
 the

00:33:27.299 --> 00:33:27.620
 gospel

00:33:27.620 --> 00:33:28.799
 then

00:33:28.799 --> 00:33:29.059
 how

00:33:29.059 --> 00:33:29.299
 would

00:33:29.299 --> 00:33:29.559
 that

00:33:29.559 --> 00:33:29.980
 change

00:33:29.980 --> 00:33:30.220
 our

00:33:30.220 --> 00:33:30.579
 lives

00:33:30.579 --> 00:33:32.759
 maybe

00:33:32.759 --> 00:33:32.940
 the

00:33:32.940 --> 00:33:33.120
 way

00:33:33.120 --> 00:33:33.259
 we

00:33:33.259 --> 00:33:33.559
 arrange

00:33:33.559 --> 00:33:33.740
 our

00:33:33.740 --> 00:33:34.279
 times

00:33:34.279 --> 00:33:35.059
 and

00:33:35.059 --> 00:33:35.480
 resources

00:33:35.480 --> 00:33:35.680
 would

00:33:35.680 --> 00:33:35.799
 be

00:33:35.799 --> 00:33:36.140
 different

00:33:36.140 --> 00:33:38.440
 maybe

00:33:38.440 --> 00:33:38.680
 our

00:33:38.680 --> 00:33:39.319
 relationships

00:33:39.319 --> 00:33:39.620
 would

00:33:39.620 --> 00:33:39.740
 be

00:33:39.740 --> 00:33:40.160
 different

00:33:40.160 --> 00:33:40.940
 even

00:33:40.940 --> 00:33:41.140
 in

00:33:41.140 --> 00:33:41.420
 times

00:33:41.420 --> 00:33:41.599
 of

00:33:41.599 --> 00:33:42.019
 conflict

00:33:42.019 --> 00:33:42.220
 in

00:33:42.220 --> 00:33:42.339
 the

00:33:42.339 --> 00:33:42.500
 way

00:33:42.500 --> 00:33:42.640
 we

00:33:42.640 --> 00:33:42.880
 move

00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:43.420
 towards

00:33:43.420 --> 00:33:45.000
 reconciliation

00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:46.779
 maybe

00:33:46.779 --> 00:33:48.079
 this

00:33:48.079 --> 00:33:48.240
 would

00:33:48.240 --> 00:33:48.339
 be

00:33:48.339 --> 00:33:48.519
 the

00:33:48.519 --> 00:33:48.759
 source

00:33:48.759 --> 00:33:48.920
 of

00:33:48.920 --> 00:33:49.160
 our

00:33:49.160 --> 00:33:49.440
 joy

00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:49.720
 when

00:33:49.720 --> 00:33:50.019
 we

00:33:50.019 --> 00:33:50.579
 are

00:33:50.579 --> 00:33:50.940
 pursuing

00:33:50.940 --> 00:33:51.599
 relationships

00:33:51.599 --> 00:33:51.960
 or

00:33:51.960 --> 00:33:52.140
 when

00:33:52.140 --> 00:33:52.240
 we

00:33:52.240 --> 00:33:52.460
 are

00:33:52.460 --> 00:33:53.220
 struggling

00:33:53.220 --> 00:33:53.480
 with

00:33:53.480 --> 00:33:54.019
 singleness

00:33:54.019 --> 00:33:56.380
 how

00:33:56.380 --> 00:33:56.579
 about

00:33:56.579 --> 00:33:57.059
 for us

00:33:57.059 --> 00:33:57.380
 as a

00:33:57.380 --> 00:33:57.700
 church

00:33:57.700 --> 00:33:59.059
 what

00:33:59.059 --> 00:33:59.200
 would

00:33:59.200 --> 00:33:59.319
 it

00:33:59.319 --> 00:33:59.500
 look

00:33:59.500 --> 00:33:59.740
 like

00:33:59.740 --> 00:33:59.900
 for
