WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.419
 one. Boy, that is the question, isn't it? Thankfully, Kay Campbell was somebody's one.

00:00:08.019 --> 00:00:13.359
 Thankfully, you were somebody's one. And so I want to encourage you today to think through

00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:20.620
 who is your one. I want to share a quote with you before we jump into our recap of the last

00:00:20.620 --> 00:00:25.839
 couple of weeks. And this is by one of the greatest preachers and ministers that God has

00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:34.219
 used on our planet, Billy Graham. He said, our faith becomes stronger as we express it. A growing faith

00:00:34.219 --> 00:00:44.140
 is a sharing faith. Our faith becomes stronger as we express it. Can we say these last words together?

00:00:44.140 --> 00:00:54.039
 A growing faith is a sharing faith. Is your faith growing? And by that I'm asking,

00:00:54.039 --> 00:01:03.539
 are you sharing it? Are you sharing it? Are we sharing it individually and as a church?

00:01:04.420 --> 00:01:10.700
 This is our last Sunday in this series called Who's Your One? That first sermon came from the

00:01:10.700 --> 00:01:16.579
 man you saw in the video just a moment ago, J.D. Greer, pastor of Summit Church in Raleigh, Durham,

00:01:16.579 --> 00:01:23.879
 North Carolina. God used him powerfully through that sermon series in his church to start a movement

00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:29.159
 that spread throughout their church and even around this nation as the North American Mission Board

00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:34.719
 picked it up as an evangelism campaign to roll out to churches. And so we're looking at it now

00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:41.659
 and asking ourselves the same question so many have asked, who's your one? You heard the sermon last

00:01:41.659 --> 00:01:47.759
 Sunday that a member of his staff preached in that series to their church, kind of tailored a little

00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:56.939
 bit for our church. But the question remains the same week after week, who's your one? A few weeks ago,

00:01:56.939 --> 00:02:03.880
 we looked at this verse, Matthew chapter 6 and verse 10. Your kingdom come, God. Your will be done. Part of

00:02:03.880 --> 00:02:09.420
 the Lord's prayer, that model prayer that Jesus was teaching to his disciples. This is how you ought to

00:02:09.420 --> 00:02:15.920
 pray. God, your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. So we kind of drew this

00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:25.739
 conclusion. Let's say it together, can we? His will be done. So who's your one? One more time. His will be

00:02:25.739 --> 00:02:34.839
 done. So who's your one? And that is the question that I believe God has for our church in this moment.

00:02:35.139 --> 00:02:41.819
 If we want his will done on earth, then who's the one that he's going to send us to right now?

00:02:41.819 --> 00:02:48.919
 Our takeaway that week was, what is your next step? Let's get practical with it. Jesus's invitation

00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:54.439
 first was come and see. Come and see the great things that I'm going to do. I'm going to heal the

00:02:54.439 --> 00:03:00.479
 blind. I'm going to heal all manner of sicknesses and diseases. I'm going to provide food for thousands.

00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:07.620
 But more than that, I came to seek and to save the lost. I'm going to provide a spiritual answer.

00:03:07.620 --> 00:03:15.099
 The gospel of Jesus himself to those who needed to hear it. Bring light to that darkness. He said,

00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:20.980
 come and see. Walk with me as we do this. And then he said, come and die. Well, that's the hard message,

00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:27.000
 isn't it? That's the hard invitation. We don't think of Jesus saying, come and die. But over and over again,

00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:33.879
 he required his disciples to turn from what they do. Die to their own passions. Die to their own

00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:41.400
 pleasures. Die to their own lusts. Die to their own designs and plans and embrace his for their lives.

00:03:42.500 --> 00:03:48.960
 And he took them to levels that they never dreamed of. He took them to accomplishments that these

00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:56.219
 ordinary fishermen who hadn't made the cut could have never imagined for themselves. But he said,

00:03:56.300 --> 00:04:03.120
 you got to die to your way and embrace the Jesus way. And the Jesus way leads us to this final

00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:11.800
 invitation, which is go and tell. Jesus gave us this commission in Matthew 28, in Mark 16, all

00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:19.620
 throughout the gospel records. We see these men who walked with Jesus writing down his words that say,

00:04:19.620 --> 00:04:29.040
 go into all the world and make disciples, baptizing them, teaching them to observe all the things that

00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:39.040
 I've commanded you. Go and tell my message. Go and tell my truth. And that's what we're all called to do.

00:04:39.960 --> 00:04:45.939
 So what's your stage? Does God want to move you from come and see to come and die? Does he want to move

00:04:45.939 --> 00:04:52.840
 you from come and die to go and tell? Where are you lacking? That was our invitation a couple of weeks ago.

00:04:52.839 --> 00:05:00.279
 And then we moved on to last Sunday. And our takeaway there was, do you have a burden? So we looked at

00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:09.239
 these men who literally tore a roof apart to get their friend to Jesus so Jesus could heal him.

00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:16.579
 So this guy's got a problem that only Jesus can fix. So do you have a burden? Is there someone in your

00:05:16.579 --> 00:05:22.300
 life who's your life? Who's your one that needs to hear about Jesus? And is it time to dig a hole in

00:05:22.300 --> 00:05:28.979
 the roof? In other words, are there, are there obstacles that you've got to get through? But

00:05:28.979 --> 00:05:35.620
 because your burden is so great for their salvation, you're going to do whatever it takes to get that

00:05:35.620 --> 00:05:44.419
 person to Jesus. Who's your one? And then Jesus said, we're going to be fishers of men. We close with that

00:05:44.420 --> 00:05:55.480
 story. Kind of putting the microscope on ourselves, wouldn't it? Talking about this fishing company that

00:05:55.480 --> 00:06:03.139
 would do everything in the world except fish. And they talked all about it. They knew all about it.

00:06:03.200 --> 00:06:08.460
 They told others to do it, but they never actually did it themselves. So our challenge at the end of

00:06:08.459 --> 00:06:15.519
 last Sunday was actually go out and fish. Jesus said, you're not going to fish for fish anymore.

00:06:15.939 --> 00:06:21.579
 Now when you walk with me, you're going to fish for people. So how many of us are actually fishing

00:06:21.579 --> 00:06:28.979
 for people like Jesus commanded us to do? So that brings us to today. And today we're going to look

00:06:28.979 --> 00:06:34.599
 at Luke chapter 15. If you would take the word of God with me and turn to Luke chapter 15. Matthew,

00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:44.620
 Mark, Mark, Luke. It's in the New Testament. Luke chapter 15. We'll read from verse 1 down through

00:06:44.620 --> 00:06:53.840
 verse 10. We're talking about the value of one. While you're turning there, are you aware that the value

00:06:53.839 --> 00:07:06.019
 of the dollar has dropped a little bit? Why are y'all laughing? You're aware? In 1913,

00:07:06.719 --> 00:07:13.299
 one dollar was worth about $26 today. Isn't that crazy?

00:07:13.300 --> 00:07:23.400
 You have one dollar back in 1913. It's about like having $26 today. You can do a lot with $26,

00:07:23.840 --> 00:07:31.660
 can't you? You can go get a nice meal at a restaurant for one person. Not too nice.

00:07:34.660 --> 00:07:42.439
 And you better not order dessert. Listen, we know the value of the dollar has dropped significantly.

00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:50.219
 There are many in your lifetime. You have seen this play out. I remember when I was little

00:07:50.219 --> 00:07:57.000
 and I was looking at, we had these, we were living in Oklahoma City at the time and we had these gas

00:07:57.000 --> 00:08:03.680
 wars happening and gas got down to like 97 cents a gallon. Some of you are like, yeah, I know when it

00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:10.019
 was cheaper than that. But man, I couldn't believe that. Could you imagine today if our gas stations

00:08:10.019 --> 00:08:15.419
 here in town all of a sudden put up 97 cents a gallon? They'd run out of gas in five minutes.

00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:28.539
 Things change, don't they? Values change. Inflation happens. Anybody ever remember a museum for kids

00:08:28.539 --> 00:08:36.240
 called Free Enterprise USA? It was in Oklahoma City many years ago. It's been closed for a long time.

00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:39.720
 I didn't know if by chance any of you had ended up there when you were younger.

00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:48.759
 My parents took me and my brother there and it was this museum that was really dedicated to teaching

00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:55.259
 kids all about inflation, all about economics and the free enterprise system and all that.

00:08:55.740 --> 00:09:02.159
 And it was really hands-on. They worked in cartoon figures and you got to do things and invest in the

00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:06.879
 stock market and all this kind of stuff. And I guess I was nerdy into that stuff. So I really liked it.

00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:14.799
 But I learned, they showed this kind of kid-oriented video about inflation and how much the value of the

00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:22.079
 dollar has dropped over the years. And I remember panicking a little bit when I was about 10 years old

00:09:22.079 --> 00:09:29.240
 thinking, oh man, we got to stop this. Somehow, some way, we got to go back to using gold for everything.

00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:37.100
 And I didn't realize how unlikely that seems to be in our world.

00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:47.720
 But isn't it interesting that as our paper money diminishes in value,

00:09:48.180 --> 00:09:57.879
 one thing that will never change is the value of a soul, the value of a human being.

00:09:57.879 --> 00:10:06.340
 The value of my car dropped significantly the moment I drove it off the lot.

00:10:08.340 --> 00:10:17.480
 The value of your home may rise or fall, but the thing that never changes is the value of one.

00:10:18.620 --> 00:10:22.419
 So let's read about that. Luke chapter 15 and verse 1.

00:10:22.419 --> 00:10:26.599
 And all the tax collectors and the sinners were approaching Jesus to listen to him.

00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:32.179
 The Pharisees and the scribes were complaining, this man welcomes sinners and eats with them.

00:10:33.479 --> 00:10:34.519
 How dare he?

00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:39.699
 This rabbi with shmeha, remember that from a couple weeks ago?

00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:43.799
 That crazy Hebrew word that's so much fun to say, let's all say it. Ready?

00:10:44.459 --> 00:10:44.860
 Shmeha.

00:10:44.860 --> 00:10:46.800
 Shmeha. Very well. Yes, that was good.

00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:48.120
 Satisfying, isn't it?

00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:49.419
 It means authority.

00:10:50.740 --> 00:10:53.080
 It means you are the cream of the crop.

00:10:53.419 --> 00:10:54.840
 You've reached the highest level.

00:10:55.259 --> 00:10:58.000
 You can introduce new biblical truth to people.

00:10:58.340 --> 00:11:00.759
 People need to shut up and listen when you're talking.

00:11:03.560 --> 00:11:05.659
 I'd like to think I have shmeha, but I know better.

00:11:05.800 --> 00:11:06.100
 All right.

00:11:06.100 --> 00:11:08.519
 Luke chapter 15.

00:11:08.820 --> 00:11:11.700
 They're listening to him and he's up there teaching.

00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:20.240
 And they can't believe that this great rabbi that people from everywhere are talking about and following

00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:25.019
 is welcoming and eating with sinners.

00:11:26.980 --> 00:11:29.980
 Can't believe he would associate with those wicked people.

00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:32.940
 So Jesus tells them a story.

00:11:33.620 --> 00:11:34.779
 Tells them this parable.

00:11:34.779 --> 00:11:36.379
 And he says,

00:11:36.620 --> 00:11:44.720
 What man among you who has a hundred sheep and loses one of them does not leave the ninety-nine in the open field?

00:11:44.919 --> 00:11:47.980
 You realize he's not talking to the Pharisees here.

00:11:48.620 --> 00:11:50.360
 They're not out there tending sheep.

00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:54.319
 He's making a point in front of them.

00:11:55.659 --> 00:11:57.100
 But he's talking to the common people.

00:11:59.379 --> 00:12:02.720
 They hear this murmuring among the Pharisees.

00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:09.200
 They hear this undercurrent of discontent, disapproval from these religious leaders.

00:12:10.660 --> 00:12:11.519
 So he says,

00:12:11.660 --> 00:12:12.420
 Which one of you?

00:12:12.660 --> 00:12:13.860
 You had a hundred sheep.

00:12:13.920 --> 00:12:14.560
 You lose one.

00:12:14.740 --> 00:12:18.500
 You're not going to leave the ninety-nine and you're going to go chase the one that's lost

00:12:18.500 --> 00:12:19.940
 until you find it.

00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:21.660
 And when he has found it,

00:12:21.700 --> 00:12:23.379
 he joyfully puts it on his shoulders.

00:12:23.779 --> 00:12:24.580
 And coming home,

00:12:24.580 --> 00:12:27.360
 he calls his friends and his neighbors together and says,

00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:30.720
 Rejoice with me because I've found my lost sheep.

00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:32.820
 I tell you,

00:12:33.460 --> 00:12:34.500
 in the same way,

00:12:35.460 --> 00:12:37.540
 there will be more joy in heaven

00:12:37.540 --> 00:12:40.460
 over one sinner who repents

00:12:40.460 --> 00:12:42.540
 than over ninety-nine

00:12:42.540 --> 00:12:45.340
 righteous people

00:12:45.340 --> 00:12:47.520
 who don't need repentance.

00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:50.460
 Continue on,

00:12:50.500 --> 00:12:50.899
 verse eight.

00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:52.539
 What woman

00:12:52.539 --> 00:12:54.579
 has ten silver coins

00:12:54.579 --> 00:12:57.100
 and if she loses one coin,

00:12:58.039 --> 00:12:59.699
 she doesn't light a lamp,

00:13:00.220 --> 00:13:01.220
 sweep the house,

00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:02.819
 and search carefully

00:13:02.819 --> 00:13:03.939
 until she finds it?

00:13:04.539 --> 00:13:05.399
 Of course she would.

00:13:06.699 --> 00:13:07.879
 One silver coin?

00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:10.079
 That was worth a lot of money.

00:13:10.079 --> 00:13:13.079
 Back in 1913,

00:13:13.779 --> 00:13:15.019
 if you lost one dollar,

00:13:15.159 --> 00:13:16.299
 I bet you'd go looking for it,

00:13:16.319 --> 00:13:16.600
 wouldn't you?

00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:21.460
 When she finds it,

00:13:21.939 --> 00:13:23.079
 she calls her friends

00:13:23.079 --> 00:13:24.279
 and neighbors together

00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:25.519
 saying,

00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:26.579
 Rejoice with me.

00:13:27.159 --> 00:13:28.840
 I've found the silver coin

00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:30.079
 I lost.

00:13:30.460 --> 00:13:31.620
 She had nine others.

00:13:32.439 --> 00:13:33.559
 They didn't go astray.

00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:35.439
 They stayed there.

00:13:35.939 --> 00:13:37.799
 But she went and chased down

00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:39.419
 the one that was lost.

00:13:39.419 --> 00:13:40.159
 And I tell you,

00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:40.659
 verse 10,

00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:41.699
 in the same way,

00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:43.779
 there is joy in the presence

00:13:43.779 --> 00:13:44.899
 of God's angels

00:13:44.899 --> 00:13:46.799
 over one sinner

00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:48.039
 who repents.

00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:50.199
 If you think about it,

00:13:50.819 --> 00:13:53.479
 the most significant number

00:13:53.479 --> 00:13:54.740
 in God's kingdom

00:13:54.740 --> 00:13:55.959
 is one.

00:13:55.960 --> 00:14:02.180
 Now, I want more than one person

00:14:02.180 --> 00:14:03.019
 in this church.

00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:07.340
 I want to see this church

00:14:07.340 --> 00:14:08.480
 filled until we've got to

00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:09.440
 bring in extra chairs.

00:14:10.420 --> 00:14:12.160
 We saw it last Easter Sunday.

00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:14.180
 I pray God lets us see it again.

00:14:14.179 --> 00:14:18.459
 I want the building and grounds committee

00:14:18.459 --> 00:14:19.459
 have to figure out

00:14:19.459 --> 00:14:21.779
 how we can expand the sanctuary

00:14:21.779 --> 00:14:23.039
 and fit more people in.

00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:26.779
 Because that means

00:14:26.779 --> 00:14:30.819
 that so many lost ones

00:14:30.819 --> 00:14:32.199
 were found.

00:14:32.200 --> 00:14:35.840
 the most significant number

00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:37.280
 in God's kingdom

00:14:37.280 --> 00:14:38.420
 is one.

00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:39.200
 Jesus

00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:41.340
 was the one sacrifice

00:14:41.340 --> 00:14:42.780
 for all of us.

00:14:43.040 --> 00:14:43.580
 He died,

00:14:43.680 --> 00:14:44.420
 the Bible says,

00:14:44.500 --> 00:14:45.120
 once

00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:46.500
 for all.

00:14:47.340 --> 00:14:48.800
 It only took one.

00:14:49.520 --> 00:14:50.500
 One time.

00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:51.879
 That's why you don't need

00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:53.080
 to get saved

00:14:53.080 --> 00:14:54.400
 or put your faith in Jesus

00:14:54.400 --> 00:14:55.040
 again

00:14:55.040 --> 00:14:56.520
 after you've done it.

00:14:56.580 --> 00:14:57.580
 Because you have then

00:14:57.580 --> 00:14:58.820
 become God's child.

00:14:59.080 --> 00:14:59.600
 You don't have to go

00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:01.220
 get baptized again.

00:15:01.420 --> 00:15:03.440
 If you made a genuine conversion

00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:05.820
 decision to place

00:15:05.820 --> 00:15:06.980
 your faith in Jesus

00:15:06.980 --> 00:15:08.600
 and then you went public

00:15:08.600 --> 00:15:09.720
 and were baptized

00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:10.980
 into a local body

00:15:10.980 --> 00:15:11.440
 of believers,

00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:12.240
 you don't have to go

00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:13.120
 do that again

00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:14.600
 because one time

00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:15.560
 was enough.

00:15:16.019 --> 00:15:16.879
 One sacrifice

00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:18.500
 by Jesus Christ

00:15:18.500 --> 00:15:19.080
 was enough

00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:19.879
 for past,

00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:20.379
 present,

00:15:20.500 --> 00:15:21.220
 and future.

00:15:21.519 --> 00:15:22.220
 Do you realize

00:15:22.220 --> 00:15:23.040
 that you and I

00:15:23.040 --> 00:15:24.680
 were dead in our sins?

00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:26.200
 We had no choice

00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:27.480
 but to go to hell

00:15:27.480 --> 00:15:28.720
 and pay this horrible

00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:29.660
 payment

00:15:29.660 --> 00:15:30.860
 for all the wrong

00:15:30.860 --> 00:15:31.700
 that we have done.

00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:32.779
 The sin that we were

00:15:32.779 --> 00:15:33.440
 born into.

00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:34.920
 Nobody had to teach us

00:15:34.920 --> 00:15:35.540
 how to lie,

00:15:35.700 --> 00:15:35.920
 cheat,

00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:36.399
 and steal.

00:15:36.620 --> 00:15:37.700
 We just knew it

00:15:37.700 --> 00:15:39.420
 and we did it

00:15:39.420 --> 00:15:40.639
 from the time

00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:41.879
 that we were birthed.

00:15:42.680 --> 00:15:43.620
 I hate to tell you

00:15:43.620 --> 00:15:44.279
 those sweet,

00:15:44.440 --> 00:15:45.100
 precious babies

00:15:45.100 --> 00:15:46.460
 that we prayed over today,

00:15:46.779 --> 00:15:47.340
 they're sinners.

00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:50.560
 And you were too

00:15:50.560 --> 00:15:51.440
 and so am I.

00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:54.160
 God says

00:15:54.160 --> 00:15:54.899
 there's a place

00:15:54.899 --> 00:15:55.460
 of punishment

00:15:55.460 --> 00:15:56.060
 reserved

00:15:56.059 --> 00:15:57.119
 for Satan

00:15:57.119 --> 00:15:58.559
 and all those

00:15:58.559 --> 00:15:59.639
 who have sided

00:15:59.639 --> 00:16:00.279
 with him

00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:01.519
 and all those

00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:02.459
 in his kingdom

00:16:02.459 --> 00:16:03.659
 and God wants

00:16:03.659 --> 00:16:04.979
 to rescue us

00:16:04.979 --> 00:16:06.159
 from the kingdom

00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:06.719
 of darkness

00:16:06.719 --> 00:16:07.500
 and bring us

00:16:07.500 --> 00:16:08.319
 into his kingdom

00:16:08.319 --> 00:16:09.479
 and so that's

00:16:09.479 --> 00:16:10.119
 why he came.

00:16:10.479 --> 00:16:11.500
 That's why he was born

00:16:11.500 --> 00:16:12.319
 and that's why

00:16:12.319 --> 00:16:13.459
 he hung on that cross

00:16:13.459 --> 00:16:14.179
 and that's why

00:16:14.179 --> 00:16:15.259
 he willingly allowed

00:16:15.259 --> 00:16:16.379
 himself to be killed

00:16:16.379 --> 00:16:17.199
 and that's why

00:16:17.199 --> 00:16:17.979
 he proved

00:16:17.979 --> 00:16:19.079
 that he was God

00:16:19.079 --> 00:16:19.959
 when he didn't let

00:16:19.959 --> 00:16:20.739
 death defeat him

00:16:20.739 --> 00:16:21.919
 and he rose up

00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:22.479
 from the grave.

00:16:22.619 --> 00:16:23.639
 Easter Sunday

00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:24.459
 is coming pretty quick,

00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:24.759
 isn't it?

00:16:24.759 --> 00:16:25.919
 We're all going

00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:26.419
 to be focused

00:16:26.419 --> 00:16:27.279
 on that Jesus

00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:29.439
 final victory

00:16:29.439 --> 00:16:30.200
 over death,

00:16:30.580 --> 00:16:31.319
 his resurrection.

00:16:32.100 --> 00:16:32.539
 Reality,

00:16:32.679 --> 00:16:33.340
 we should be focused

00:16:33.340 --> 00:16:34.639
 on that every day.

00:16:35.039 --> 00:16:36.399
 That's what gives us life.

00:16:36.779 --> 00:16:37.659
 That's what gives us

00:16:37.659 --> 00:16:38.200
 a chance.

00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:39.240
 That's what gives us

00:16:39.240 --> 00:16:39.740
 something to put

00:16:39.740 --> 00:16:40.480
 our hope in,

00:16:41.259 --> 00:16:43.139
 to build our family on,

00:16:44.100 --> 00:16:45.240
 put our faith in.

00:16:46.340 --> 00:16:47.159
 He's different.

00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:48.860
 He came back to life.

00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:51.799
 So that one time

00:16:51.799 --> 00:16:53.080
 was enough

00:16:53.080 --> 00:16:54.460
 for all of us.

00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:56.720
 The most significant

00:16:56.720 --> 00:16:57.939
 number in God's kingdom

00:16:57.939 --> 00:16:59.080
 is one.

00:16:59.700 --> 00:17:00.980
 All it takes is

00:17:00.980 --> 00:17:03.100
 one man.

00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:07.220
 By one man,

00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:08.359
 sin passed on

00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:09.319
 to the whole world.

00:17:09.460 --> 00:17:10.000
 That was Adam.

00:17:10.379 --> 00:17:11.500
 That original sin

00:17:11.500 --> 00:17:13.379
 back in the Garden of Eden.

00:17:14.779 --> 00:17:15.839
 And just like that,

00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:16.759
 by one man,

00:17:16.879 --> 00:17:17.759
 Jesus Christ,

00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:20.680
 a way of escape

00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:21.519
 was provided.

00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:25.059
 a way to reconciliation

00:17:25.059 --> 00:17:25.839
 with God,

00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:27.299
 restore that broken

00:17:27.299 --> 00:17:27.940
 relationship

00:17:27.940 --> 00:17:29.220
 with God.

00:17:30.059 --> 00:17:31.500
 So the most significant

00:17:31.500 --> 00:17:33.180
 number in God's kingdom

00:17:33.180 --> 00:17:34.359
 is one.

00:17:35.480 --> 00:17:36.180
 Isn't that interesting?

00:17:37.859 --> 00:17:38.980
 See these churches

00:17:38.980 --> 00:17:40.379
 using all kinds of tactics

00:17:40.379 --> 00:17:41.700
 to get thousands in?

00:17:41.700 --> 00:17:41.759
 one.

00:17:43.340 --> 00:17:44.080
 But really,

00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:45.080
 God cares about

00:17:45.080 --> 00:17:45.920
 one.

00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:50.039
 If we ever become

00:17:50.039 --> 00:17:50.539
 a church

00:17:50.539 --> 00:17:51.700
 that values

00:17:52.360 --> 00:17:53.559
 big numbers

00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:54.920
 over the value

00:17:54.920 --> 00:17:55.440
 of one,

00:17:55.660 --> 00:17:56.880
 we've missed

00:17:56.880 --> 00:17:57.380
 our mission.

00:17:57.759 --> 00:17:58.279
 We've missed

00:17:58.279 --> 00:17:58.860
 our calling.

00:18:00.620 --> 00:18:01.480
 So I want to

00:18:01.480 --> 00:18:02.039
 challenge you.

00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:04.580
 God's mission

00:18:04.580 --> 00:18:05.500
 for this church

00:18:05.500 --> 00:18:06.299
 is this.

00:18:06.299 --> 00:18:08.539
 each one

00:18:08.539 --> 00:18:11.000
 reach one.

00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:13.119
 Each one

00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:14.319
 reach one.

00:18:14.779 --> 00:18:15.519
 Would you take me

00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:16.460
 up to the next slide

00:18:16.460 --> 00:18:16.680
 there?

00:18:19.180 --> 00:18:20.000
 For some reason,

00:18:20.099 --> 00:18:20.539
 this thing quit

00:18:20.539 --> 00:18:21.079
 working on me.

00:18:24.159 --> 00:18:25.099
 I'm going to turn it off

00:18:25.099 --> 00:18:25.879
 and turn it back on.

00:18:29.700 --> 00:18:30.599
 Each one

00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:32.480
 reach one.

00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:33.220
 Should be,

00:18:33.299 --> 00:18:34.279
 if you click the space bar,

00:18:34.339 --> 00:18:34.659
 it'll go,

00:18:35.159 --> 00:18:36.059
 or one of the arrows.

00:18:37.299 --> 00:18:38.079
 Sorry about that,

00:18:38.139 --> 00:18:38.259
 y'all.

00:18:38.619 --> 00:18:39.220
 The devil doesn't like

00:18:39.220 --> 00:18:39.639
 what we're talking

00:18:39.639 --> 00:18:40.159
 about here today.

00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:43.619
 Each one of us

00:18:43.619 --> 00:18:45.180
 can reach

00:18:45.180 --> 00:18:46.200
 one.

00:18:46.619 --> 00:18:47.700
 And we must.

00:18:48.659 --> 00:18:49.639
 Each one of us

00:18:49.639 --> 00:18:50.619
 has the ability

00:18:50.619 --> 00:18:51.919
 to reach one.

00:18:52.220 --> 00:18:52.419
 See,

00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:53.740
 I can't be a Billy Graham,

00:18:53.819 --> 00:18:54.079
 okay?

00:18:55.079 --> 00:18:56.359
 I can't go out there

00:18:56.359 --> 00:18:57.659
 and hold big crusades

00:18:57.659 --> 00:18:58.799
 and have thousands

00:18:58.799 --> 00:18:59.299
 of people

00:18:59.299 --> 00:18:59.960
 turn to faith

00:18:59.960 --> 00:19:00.460
 in Jesus.

00:19:02.139 --> 00:19:02.539
 Well,

00:19:02.599 --> 00:19:03.480
 you might be able

00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:03.960
 to do more

00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:04.480
 than you think

00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:04.919
 you can do

00:19:04.919 --> 00:19:05.740
 with God's power.

00:19:05.839 --> 00:19:06.240
 However,

00:19:06.299 --> 00:19:06.879
 I know

00:19:06.879 --> 00:19:07.839
 that you can reach

00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:08.419
 one.

00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:09.339
 And there is one

00:19:09.339 --> 00:19:09.859
 right now,

00:19:09.919 --> 00:19:10.259
 thank you,

00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:11.039
 there is one

00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:11.680
 right now

00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:12.519
 that God has

00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:13.220
 in your life

00:19:13.220 --> 00:19:14.259
 that he wants

00:19:14.259 --> 00:19:14.759
 to place

00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:15.419
 on your heart

00:19:15.419 --> 00:19:16.279
 and give you

00:19:16.279 --> 00:19:17.079
 that burden

00:19:17.079 --> 00:19:18.339
 for like those

00:19:18.339 --> 00:19:19.079
 men who tore

00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:20.039
 through the roof.

00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:21.859
 There's one

00:19:21.859 --> 00:19:22.960
 that God

00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:24.099
 wants to place

00:19:24.099 --> 00:19:26.359
 this insatiable

00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:26.879
 burden

00:19:26.879 --> 00:19:29.139
 for their salvation.

00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:31.839
 And they need

00:19:31.839 --> 00:19:32.899
 you to care.

00:19:32.900 --> 00:19:34.720
 they need you.

00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:35.259
 They may not

00:19:35.259 --> 00:19:36.060
 even know it

00:19:36.060 --> 00:19:36.360
 yet,

00:19:36.360 --> 00:19:37.660
 but they need

00:19:37.660 --> 00:19:38.440
 you to care

00:19:38.440 --> 00:19:38.840
 enough

00:19:38.840 --> 00:19:40.280
 to share

00:19:40.280 --> 00:19:41.100
 Jesus with

00:19:41.100 --> 00:19:41.380
 them.

00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:42.340
 So what are

00:19:42.340 --> 00:19:42.820
 we supposed

00:19:42.820 --> 00:19:43.240
 to do?

00:19:43.840 --> 00:19:44.160
 Well,

00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:44.900
 there's two

00:19:44.900 --> 00:19:45.240
 things.

00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:45.640
 One,

00:19:45.860 --> 00:19:46.080
 pray.

00:19:47.240 --> 00:19:47.720
 Pray.

00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:49.060
 I lied.

00:19:49.120 --> 00:19:49.480
 There's three

00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:49.800
 things.

00:19:50.320 --> 00:19:50.880
 The first one

00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:51.259
 is pray.

00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:53.400
 We must pray.

00:19:53.560 --> 00:19:53.980
 We talked

00:19:53.980 --> 00:19:54.440
 about a little

00:19:54.440 --> 00:19:54.800
 bit in our

00:19:54.800 --> 00:19:55.280
 starting point

00:19:55.280 --> 00:19:55.800
 class this

00:19:55.800 --> 00:19:56.060
 morning.

00:19:56.059 --> 00:19:57.119
 How often

00:19:57.119 --> 00:19:57.679
 do you and

00:19:57.679 --> 00:19:58.240
 I pray

00:19:58.240 --> 00:19:59.319
 for the lost?

00:19:59.500 --> 00:20:00.000
 We'll pray

00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:00.480
 about any

00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:00.960
 number of

00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:01.599
 other things

00:20:01.599 --> 00:20:02.259
 and that's

00:20:02.259 --> 00:20:02.559
 good.

00:20:02.859 --> 00:20:03.179
 We should

00:20:03.179 --> 00:20:03.639
 bring our

00:20:03.639 --> 00:20:04.200
 needs and

00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:04.819
 our requests

00:20:04.819 --> 00:20:05.200
 and the

00:20:05.200 --> 00:20:05.679
 burdens on

00:20:05.679 --> 00:20:06.099
 our heart

00:20:06.099 --> 00:20:06.980
 to the Lord.

00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:07.740
 The Father

00:20:07.740 --> 00:20:08.240
 cares.

00:20:08.599 --> 00:20:09.179
 He cares about

00:20:09.179 --> 00:20:09.819
 the little bird

00:20:09.819 --> 00:20:10.539
 that falls out

00:20:10.539 --> 00:20:11.099
 of its nest.

00:20:11.379 --> 00:20:12.119
 He cares about

00:20:12.119 --> 00:20:12.399
 you.

00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:13.419
 He cares about

00:20:13.419 --> 00:20:13.960
 your daily

00:20:13.960 --> 00:20:14.319
 food.

00:20:14.599 --> 00:20:15.220
 He cares about

00:20:15.220 --> 00:20:15.639
 your daily

00:20:15.639 --> 00:20:16.039
 needs.

00:20:16.259 --> 00:20:16.879
 He cares about

00:20:16.879 --> 00:20:17.359
 your health

00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:17.859
 and he has

00:20:17.859 --> 00:20:18.419
 the power to

00:20:18.419 --> 00:20:18.679
 heal.

00:20:19.079 --> 00:20:19.659
 But you know

00:20:19.659 --> 00:20:20.480
 what should be

00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:20.919
 one of the

00:20:20.919 --> 00:20:21.679
 chief burdens

00:20:21.679 --> 00:20:22.519
 on your heart?

00:20:23.419 --> 00:20:24.079
 The lost

00:20:24.079 --> 00:20:24.779
 around you.

00:20:24.779 --> 00:20:26.500
 your lost

00:20:26.500 --> 00:20:26.940
 cousin,

00:20:27.700 --> 00:20:28.299
 your lost

00:20:28.299 --> 00:20:28.759
 daughter,

00:20:29.220 --> 00:20:29.680
 your lost

00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:30.180
 grandson,

00:20:30.779 --> 00:20:31.299
 your lost

00:20:31.299 --> 00:20:31.740
 neighbor,

00:20:32.420 --> 00:20:32.899
 your lost

00:20:32.899 --> 00:20:33.480
 co-worker,

00:20:33.819 --> 00:20:34.259
 your lost

00:20:34.259 --> 00:20:34.859
 friend at

00:20:34.859 --> 00:20:35.299
 school.

00:20:36.500 --> 00:20:37.319
 Are you

00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:38.379
 praying for

00:20:38.379 --> 00:20:39.480
 their salvation?

00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:40.460
 You know what

00:20:40.460 --> 00:20:41.160
 the scary thing

00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:42.000
 is about praying

00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:42.720
 for someone's

00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:43.119
 salvation?

00:20:43.759 --> 00:20:44.759
 God might use

00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:45.279
 you to do

00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:46.019
 this next thing.

00:20:46.579 --> 00:20:47.259
 Invite them.

00:20:48.500 --> 00:20:49.299
 God might

00:20:49.299 --> 00:20:50.480
 then take it

00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:51.059
 up to the

00:20:51.059 --> 00:20:51.680
 next level

00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:52.519
 and say okay

00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:53.440
 you've been

00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:54.579
 praying now

00:20:54.579 --> 00:20:55.299
 you're the

00:20:55.299 --> 00:20:55.899
 vessel I

00:20:55.899 --> 00:20:56.199
 want to

00:20:56.199 --> 00:20:56.720
 use.

00:20:57.559 --> 00:20:58.199
 You're the

00:20:58.199 --> 00:20:58.539
 one I

00:20:58.539 --> 00:20:58.819
 want to

00:20:58.819 --> 00:20:59.799
 use to

00:20:59.799 --> 00:21:00.259
 go have

00:21:00.259 --> 00:21:00.980
 a conversation.

00:21:01.699 --> 00:21:02.199
 Again you

00:21:02.199 --> 00:21:02.519
 don't have

00:21:02.519 --> 00:21:02.879
 to be an

00:21:02.879 --> 00:21:03.500
 expert in

00:21:03.500 --> 00:21:04.639
 theology to

00:21:04.639 --> 00:21:05.199
 share what

00:21:05.199 --> 00:21:05.819
 Jesus has

00:21:05.819 --> 00:21:06.159
 done in

00:21:06.159 --> 00:21:06.639
 your life.

00:21:06.859 --> 00:21:07.299
 But that

00:21:07.299 --> 00:21:07.699
 begs the

00:21:07.699 --> 00:21:08.379
 question doesn't

00:21:08.379 --> 00:21:08.559
 it?

00:21:08.799 --> 00:21:09.359
 Has Jesus

00:21:09.359 --> 00:21:09.859
 done anything

00:21:09.859 --> 00:21:10.139
 in your

00:21:10.139 --> 00:21:10.399
 life?

00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:12.000
 Do you

00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:12.339
 have anything

00:21:12.339 --> 00:21:12.759
 to share?

00:21:15.059 --> 00:21:15.659
 Do you

00:21:15.659 --> 00:21:16.000
 have a

00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:16.619
 testimony of

00:21:16.619 --> 00:21:16.980
 his goodness?

00:21:18.399 --> 00:21:19.019
 Do you

00:21:19.019 --> 00:21:19.559
 have a clear

00:21:19.559 --> 00:21:20.099
 moment when

00:21:20.099 --> 00:21:20.699
 you turned

00:21:20.699 --> 00:21:21.639
 from sin

00:21:21.639 --> 00:21:22.199
 and turned

00:21:22.199 --> 00:21:23.139
 to the

00:21:23.139 --> 00:21:23.339
 savior?

00:21:23.339 --> 00:21:23.459
 savior?

00:21:24.659 --> 00:21:25.259
 And can

00:21:25.259 --> 00:21:25.639
 you share

00:21:25.639 --> 00:21:26.740
 that with

00:21:26.740 --> 00:21:27.359
 someone else?

00:21:28.919 --> 00:21:29.439
 Say well I'm

00:21:29.439 --> 00:21:29.779
 shy.

00:21:31.699 --> 00:21:32.339
 Well maybe

00:21:32.339 --> 00:21:32.859
 God will give

00:21:32.859 --> 00:21:33.500
 that person a

00:21:33.500 --> 00:21:34.539
 pass on paying

00:21:34.539 --> 00:21:34.919
 for their

00:21:34.919 --> 00:21:35.419
 sins with

00:21:35.419 --> 00:21:35.819
 an eternity

00:21:35.819 --> 00:21:36.199
 in hell

00:21:36.199 --> 00:21:36.599
 because you

00:21:36.599 --> 00:21:36.939
 were shy.

00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:38.639
 Or maybe

00:21:38.639 --> 00:21:39.099
 God can

00:21:39.099 --> 00:21:39.559
 help you.

00:21:40.859 --> 00:21:41.419
 Maybe God

00:21:41.419 --> 00:21:42.139
 knows exactly

00:21:42.139 --> 00:21:42.619
 how shy

00:21:42.619 --> 00:21:42.939
 you are

00:21:42.939 --> 00:21:43.359
 because he

00:21:43.359 --> 00:21:43.959
 created you.

00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:44.899
 Maybe he

00:21:44.899 --> 00:21:45.220
 gave you

00:21:45.220 --> 00:21:45.939
 that personality.

00:21:46.740 --> 00:21:47.159
 But maybe

00:21:47.159 --> 00:21:47.759
 he can help

00:21:47.759 --> 00:21:48.639
 you overcome

00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:49.759
 whatever

00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:50.780
 obstacles are

00:21:50.780 --> 00:21:51.180
 in your

00:21:51.180 --> 00:21:51.740
 way and

00:21:51.740 --> 00:21:52.460
 dig through

00:21:52.460 --> 00:21:53.020
 a roof

00:21:53.020 --> 00:21:53.820
 to get

00:21:53.820 --> 00:21:54.340
 to that

00:21:54.340 --> 00:21:55.100
 person.

00:21:56.580 --> 00:21:57.220
 So can

00:21:57.220 --> 00:21:57.520
 you at

00:21:57.520 --> 00:21:58.240
 least invite

00:21:58.240 --> 00:21:58.500
 them?

00:21:59.420 --> 00:21:59.820
 Invite

00:21:59.820 --> 00:22:00.080
 them to

00:22:00.080 --> 00:22:00.440
 church.

00:22:01.480 --> 00:22:01.820
 Invite

00:22:01.820 --> 00:22:01.960
 them.

00:22:02.040 --> 00:22:02.759
 Hey let's

00:22:02.759 --> 00:22:03.040
 not even

00:22:03.040 --> 00:22:03.440
 get there

00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:03.780
 first.

00:22:03.940 --> 00:22:04.140
 Invite

00:22:04.140 --> 00:22:04.360
 them to

00:22:04.360 --> 00:22:04.780
 your home.

00:22:06.220 --> 00:22:06.480
 Invite

00:22:06.480 --> 00:22:06.900
 them over.

00:22:07.740 --> 00:22:07.940
 If they're

00:22:07.940 --> 00:22:08.340
 a neighbor

00:22:08.340 --> 00:22:09.620
 say you

00:22:09.620 --> 00:22:10.160
 know we

00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:10.480
 need to

00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:10.800
 we've been

00:22:10.800 --> 00:22:11.300
 living together

00:22:11.300 --> 00:22:12.220
 well living

00:22:12.220 --> 00:22:12.740
 together we've

00:22:12.740 --> 00:22:12.940
 been living

00:22:12.940 --> 00:22:13.400
 next to each

00:22:13.400 --> 00:22:13.680
 other for

00:22:13.680 --> 00:22:14.020
 how long

00:22:14.020 --> 00:22:14.200
 now?

00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:18.180
 I hope

00:22:18.180 --> 00:22:18.759
 that you're

00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:19.220
 sharing the

00:22:19.220 --> 00:22:19.700
 gospel with

00:22:19.700 --> 00:22:19.980
 the people

00:22:19.980 --> 00:22:20.299
 that you're

00:22:20.299 --> 00:22:20.759
 living together

00:22:20.759 --> 00:22:21.039
 with.

00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:21.640
 That would

00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:22.000
 be great.

00:22:22.539 --> 00:22:22.779
 If you're

00:22:22.779 --> 00:22:23.200
 not please

00:22:23.200 --> 00:22:23.500
 do it.

00:22:24.240 --> 00:22:24.819
 But first

00:22:24.819 --> 00:22:25.259
 invite them

00:22:25.259 --> 00:22:25.500
 to your

00:22:25.500 --> 00:22:25.840
 home.

00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:27.000
 Say come

00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:27.440
 over for

00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:28.000
 dessert.

00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:30.140
 If you

00:22:30.140 --> 00:22:30.720
 don't make

00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:31.600
 desserts there's

00:22:31.600 --> 00:22:31.900
 a lot of

00:22:31.900 --> 00:22:32.240
 people in

00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:32.600
 this church

00:22:32.600 --> 00:22:33.000
 that do.

00:22:33.299 --> 00:22:33.880
 Go ask

00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:34.120
 them to

00:22:34.120 --> 00:22:34.480
 make you

00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:34.819
 a dessert

00:22:34.819 --> 00:22:35.200
 so you

00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:35.660
 can share

00:22:35.660 --> 00:22:36.360
 the gospel

00:22:36.360 --> 00:22:36.740
 with your

00:22:36.740 --> 00:22:36.940
 neighbor.

00:22:37.059 --> 00:22:37.240
 I bet

00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:37.539
 they'll do

00:22:37.539 --> 00:22:37.660
 it.

00:22:37.940 --> 00:22:38.140
 I know

00:22:38.140 --> 00:22:38.480
 my wife

00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:38.660
 will.

00:22:40.960 --> 00:22:41.360
 Invite

00:22:41.360 --> 00:22:41.620
 them to

00:22:41.620 --> 00:22:42.100
 your home.

00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:43.740
 If

00:22:43.740 --> 00:22:44.740
 that's

00:22:44.740 --> 00:22:45.200
 out of

00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:45.339
 their

00:22:45.339 --> 00:22:45.660
 comfort

00:22:45.660 --> 00:22:45.980
 zone

00:22:45.980 --> 00:22:46.299
 invite

00:22:46.299 --> 00:22:46.420
 them

00:22:46.420 --> 00:22:46.559
 out

00:22:46.559 --> 00:22:46.680
 to

00:22:46.680 --> 00:22:46.839
 a

00:22:46.839 --> 00:22:47.180
 restaurant.

00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:47.839
 We

00:22:47.839 --> 00:22:47.960
 got

00:22:47.960 --> 00:22:48.059
 a

00:23:13.740 --> 00:23:13.859
 church.

00:23:20.240 --> 00:23:20.859
 This is

00:23:20.859 --> 00:23:21.279
 where they

00:23:21.279 --> 00:23:21.720
 will hear

00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:22.160
 the gospel

00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:22.559
 preached.

00:23:24.099 --> 00:23:24.819
 They will

00:23:24.819 --> 00:23:25.299
 meet all

00:23:25.299 --> 00:23:25.680
 kinds of

00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:25.940
 people.

00:23:26.059 --> 00:23:26.359
 Some of

00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:26.779
 them they

00:23:26.779 --> 00:23:27.259
 may know

00:23:27.259 --> 00:23:28.660
 already who

00:23:28.660 --> 00:23:29.039
 could help

00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:29.480
 build a

00:23:29.480 --> 00:23:29.900
 bridge to

00:23:29.900 --> 00:23:30.380
 that person

00:23:30.380 --> 00:23:30.740
 and let

00:23:30.740 --> 00:23:31.140
 them know

00:23:31.140 --> 00:23:32.440
 we love

00:23:32.440 --> 00:23:32.740
 you.

00:23:32.980 --> 00:23:33.279
 Jesus

00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:34.059
 loves you.

00:23:34.559 --> 00:23:35.079
 We want

00:23:35.079 --> 00:23:36.059
 you to

00:23:36.059 --> 00:23:36.400
 put your

00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:36.819
 faith in

00:23:36.819 --> 00:23:37.259
 him like

00:23:37.259 --> 00:23:37.819
 we have

00:23:37.819 --> 00:23:39.180
 because he

00:23:39.180 --> 00:23:39.660
 can make

00:23:39.660 --> 00:23:39.940
 all the

00:23:39.940 --> 00:23:40.380
 difference.

00:23:40.380 --> 00:23:43.880
 and then

00:23:43.880 --> 00:23:44.380
 maybe you

00:23:44.380 --> 00:23:44.680
 invite them

00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:44.920
 to your

00:23:44.920 --> 00:23:45.220
 d-group.

00:23:46.500 --> 00:23:46.840
 Maybe you

00:23:46.840 --> 00:23:47.100
 invite them

00:23:47.100 --> 00:23:47.280
 to your

00:23:47.280 --> 00:23:47.460
 Sunday

00:23:47.460 --> 00:23:47.680
 school

00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:48.100
 class.

00:23:48.420 --> 00:23:48.800
 Not a

00:23:48.800 --> 00:23:49.320
 bad idea.

00:23:50.760 --> 00:23:51.160
 Sometimes

00:23:51.160 --> 00:23:52.260
 those get

00:23:52.260 --> 00:23:53.000
 into things

00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:53.340
 that might

00:23:53.340 --> 00:23:53.680
 be a little

00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:53.980
 bit over

00:23:53.980 --> 00:23:54.380
 their head

00:23:54.380 --> 00:23:54.680
 if they're

00:23:54.680 --> 00:23:57.860
 not a

00:23:57.860 --> 00:23:58.380
 lifelong

00:23:58.380 --> 00:23:58.680
 church

00:23:58.680 --> 00:23:59.040
 person.

00:24:00.040 --> 00:24:00.700
 Might be a

00:24:00.700 --> 00:24:00.780
 little

00:24:00.780 --> 00:24:01.260
 intimidating.

00:24:02.920 --> 00:24:03.460
 But you

00:24:03.460 --> 00:24:03.760
 know your

00:24:03.760 --> 00:24:04.340
 class and

00:24:04.340 --> 00:24:04.740
 if that's a

00:24:04.740 --> 00:24:05.700
 good opportunity

00:24:05.700 --> 00:24:06.380
 to invite

00:24:06.380 --> 00:24:07.760
 someone who's

00:24:07.760 --> 00:24:08.220
 not already

00:24:08.220 --> 00:24:08.580
 a Jesus

00:24:08.580 --> 00:24:09.220
 follower into

00:24:09.220 --> 00:24:09.780
 that class

00:24:09.779 --> 00:24:10.119
 then do

00:24:10.119 --> 00:24:10.299
 it.

00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:11.119
 Maybe they

00:24:11.119 --> 00:24:11.399
 can meet

00:24:11.399 --> 00:24:11.759
 some people

00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:11.980
 there.

00:24:12.819 --> 00:24:13.220
 That's what

00:24:13.220 --> 00:24:13.799
 d-groups are

00:24:13.799 --> 00:24:14.460
 designed for.

00:24:15.399 --> 00:24:15.740
 So if you're

00:24:15.740 --> 00:24:16.160
 not in a

00:24:16.160 --> 00:24:16.519
 d-group

00:24:16.519 --> 00:24:17.160
 get in a

00:24:17.160 --> 00:24:17.500
 d-group.

00:24:18.500 --> 00:24:18.920
 We got

00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:19.059
 the

00:24:19.059 --> 00:24:19.359
 candidates

00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:19.980
 going on.

00:24:20.059 --> 00:24:20.299
 We got

00:24:20.299 --> 00:24:20.859
 Wade's

00:24:20.859 --> 00:24:21.220
 on Monday

00:24:21.220 --> 00:24:21.539
 night.

00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:22.359
 David

00:24:22.359 --> 00:24:22.799
 Sizemore

00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:23.180
 starting

00:24:23.180 --> 00:24:23.519
 one.

00:24:24.700 --> 00:24:25.339
 We got

00:24:25.339 --> 00:24:25.920
 opportunities

00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:26.879
 to meet

00:24:26.879 --> 00:24:27.559
 in homes,

00:24:28.519 --> 00:24:28.960
 meet in

00:24:28.960 --> 00:24:29.480
 places

00:24:29.480 --> 00:24:30.720
 outside of

00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:31.079
 Sunday,

00:24:31.240 --> 00:24:31.859
 outside of

00:24:31.859 --> 00:24:32.180
 Wednesday

00:24:32.180 --> 00:24:32.559
 night,

00:24:32.819 --> 00:24:33.819
 and get

00:24:33.819 --> 00:24:34.059
 in a

00:24:34.059 --> 00:24:34.399
 community

00:24:34.399 --> 00:24:34.779
 of

00:24:34.779 --> 00:24:35.160
 believers,

00:24:35.399 --> 00:24:35.720
 encourage

00:24:35.720 --> 00:24:36.220
 one another,

00:24:36.379 --> 00:24:36.639
 sharpen

00:24:36.639 --> 00:24:37.099
 each other,

00:24:37.180 --> 00:24:37.619
 and sometimes

00:24:37.619 --> 00:24:38.200
 that's a

00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:38.879
 less intimidating

00:24:38.879 --> 00:24:39.480
 place.

00:24:39.779 --> 00:24:40.399
 To invite

00:24:40.399 --> 00:24:41.379
 somebody who's

00:24:41.379 --> 00:24:41.980
 not used to

00:24:41.980 --> 00:24:42.339
 coming to

00:24:42.339 --> 00:24:42.720
 church,

00:24:43.559 --> 00:24:44.000
 isn't a

00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:44.460
 follower of

00:24:44.460 --> 00:24:44.720
 Jesus,

00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:45.160
 but they

00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:45.759
 might come to

00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:46.259
 somebody's

00:24:46.259 --> 00:24:46.920
 house,

00:24:47.500 --> 00:24:48.200
 eat something,

00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:50.059
 and enjoy some

00:24:50.059 --> 00:24:50.460
 fellowship,

00:24:51.339 --> 00:24:52.119
 and they'll hear

00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:53.079
 about the

00:24:53.079 --> 00:24:53.680
 Savior there.

00:24:55.059 --> 00:24:56.240
 So what can you

00:24:56.240 --> 00:24:57.359
 invite somebody to

00:24:57.359 --> 00:24:58.519
 today,

00:24:59.180 --> 00:24:59.879
 tomorrow?

00:25:00.660 --> 00:25:01.399
 Who can you

00:25:01.399 --> 00:25:02.039
 go home

00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:03.859
 and say,

00:25:04.299 --> 00:25:04.960
 come over to my

00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:06.119
 house for dinner?

00:25:06.119 --> 00:25:06.159
 here.

00:25:07.219 --> 00:25:08.059
 Let's figure out

00:25:08.059 --> 00:25:08.379
 a date.

00:25:09.519 --> 00:25:10.039
 Here's the

00:25:10.039 --> 00:25:10.899
 three times I'm

00:25:10.899 --> 00:25:11.139
 at the

00:25:11.139 --> 00:25:11.500
 available,

00:25:11.639 --> 00:25:12.079
 can you do

00:25:12.079 --> 00:25:12.399
 any of

00:25:12.399 --> 00:25:12.639
 these?

00:25:13.759 --> 00:25:14.379
 Let's nail

00:25:14.379 --> 00:25:14.739
 it down.

00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:15.539
 And then

00:25:15.539 --> 00:25:15.979
 number three,

00:25:16.079 --> 00:25:16.439
 we share.

00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:19.239
 Praying is

00:25:19.239 --> 00:25:19.839
 where we must

00:25:19.839 --> 00:25:20.239
 start,

00:25:20.899 --> 00:25:21.519
 but it's not

00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:21.839
 enough.

00:25:23.459 --> 00:25:24.699
 Inviting is

00:25:24.699 --> 00:25:25.239
 usually the

00:25:25.239 --> 00:25:25.839
 next step,

00:25:26.179 --> 00:25:27.159
 but it's not

00:25:27.159 --> 00:25:27.479
 enough.

00:25:28.139 --> 00:25:29.739
 We must share

00:25:29.739 --> 00:25:30.539
 the gospel.

00:25:31.119 --> 00:25:32.059
 We must share

00:25:32.059 --> 00:25:32.899
 the good news.

00:25:33.779 --> 00:25:34.339
 Praying for

00:25:34.339 --> 00:25:35.299
 someone moves

00:25:35.299 --> 00:25:35.899
 the hand of

00:25:35.899 --> 00:25:36.199
 God,

00:25:36.299 --> 00:25:36.939
 but do you

00:25:36.939 --> 00:25:37.419
 know what

00:25:37.419 --> 00:25:37.959
 the hand of

00:25:37.959 --> 00:25:38.459
 God then

00:25:38.459 --> 00:25:38.939
 moves?

00:25:39.419 --> 00:25:40.259
 His people.

00:25:41.919 --> 00:25:42.699
 Praying moves

00:25:42.699 --> 00:25:43.259
 the hand of

00:25:43.259 --> 00:25:43.539
 God,

00:25:43.599 --> 00:25:44.220
 and then God

00:25:44.220 --> 00:25:44.819
 moves his

00:25:44.819 --> 00:25:45.139
 people.

00:25:45.859 --> 00:25:46.480
 So his

00:25:46.480 --> 00:25:47.439
 people must

00:25:47.439 --> 00:25:48.279
 put feet to

00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:49.000
 their prayers,

00:25:49.720 --> 00:25:50.859
 and God

00:25:50.859 --> 00:25:52.119
 must use

00:25:52.119 --> 00:25:54.439
 them to get

00:25:54.439 --> 00:25:55.319
 his good news

00:25:55.319 --> 00:25:55.539
 out.

00:25:55.639 --> 00:25:56.319
 That's how he

00:25:56.319 --> 00:25:56.919
 set it up.

00:25:57.639 --> 00:25:58.480
 That was his

00:25:58.480 --> 00:25:58.859
 method.

00:26:00.220 --> 00:26:00.599
 So,

00:26:01.599 --> 00:26:02.980
 we must share.

00:26:02.980 --> 00:26:04.099
 If you

00:26:04.099 --> 00:26:04.559
 don't know

00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:05.099
 how to

00:26:05.099 --> 00:26:05.559
 share the

00:26:05.559 --> 00:26:05.940
 gospel,

00:26:06.440 --> 00:26:07.200
 think through

00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:07.940
 how you

00:26:07.940 --> 00:26:08.740
 were saved.

00:26:09.380 --> 00:26:09.880
 Maybe it

00:26:09.880 --> 00:26:10.500
 was recently,

00:26:10.660 --> 00:26:11.019
 maybe it

00:26:11.019 --> 00:26:11.480
 was a long

00:26:11.480 --> 00:26:12.079
 time ago.

00:26:13.400 --> 00:26:14.039
 But if

00:26:14.039 --> 00:26:14.460
 you've been

00:26:14.460 --> 00:26:14.880
 in church

00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:15.279
 for any

00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:15.759
 length of

00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:16.059
 time,

00:26:16.120 --> 00:26:16.440
 especially

00:26:16.440 --> 00:26:17.019
 this one,

00:26:17.279 --> 00:26:17.640
 you've

00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:18.140
 heard the

00:26:18.140 --> 00:26:18.980
 gospel preached

00:26:18.980 --> 00:26:19.420
 many,

00:26:19.599 --> 00:26:20.380
 many times.

00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:21.759
 That is

00:26:21.759 --> 00:26:22.339
 the story

00:26:22.339 --> 00:26:22.880
 of Jesus

00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:23.360
 and our

00:26:23.360 --> 00:26:23.940
 salvation.

00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:26.039
 That's

00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:26.620
 what saves

00:26:26.620 --> 00:26:26.779
 them.

00:26:27.599 --> 00:26:28.120
 They must

00:26:28.120 --> 00:26:28.680
 know they're

00:26:28.680 --> 00:26:29.079
 sinners,

00:26:29.440 --> 00:26:29.980
 just like

00:26:29.980 --> 00:26:30.519
 all of us

00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:30.700
 are.

00:26:31.480 --> 00:26:31.980
 They must

00:26:31.980 --> 00:26:32.519
 know that

00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:33.400
 Jesus died

00:26:33.400 --> 00:26:33.839
 for their

00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:34.900
 sin out

00:26:34.900 --> 00:26:35.220
 of his

00:26:35.220 --> 00:26:35.720
 love for

00:26:35.720 --> 00:26:36.059
 us.

00:26:36.620 --> 00:26:37.120
 They must

00:26:37.120 --> 00:26:37.579
 know that

00:26:37.579 --> 00:26:38.079
 he proved

00:26:38.079 --> 00:26:38.420
 he was

00:26:38.420 --> 00:26:39.180
 God by

00:26:39.180 --> 00:26:39.819
 God raising

00:26:39.819 --> 00:26:40.279
 him from

00:26:40.279 --> 00:26:40.740
 the dead.

00:26:41.660 --> 00:26:41.940
 And then

00:26:41.940 --> 00:26:42.360
 they must

00:26:42.360 --> 00:26:42.759
 know that

00:26:42.759 --> 00:26:43.200
 the only

00:26:43.200 --> 00:26:43.660
 way of

00:26:43.660 --> 00:26:45.240
 salvation is

00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:45.920
 placing their

00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:46.620
 faith in

00:26:46.620 --> 00:26:47.400
 him for

00:26:47.400 --> 00:26:47.940
 the forgiveness

00:26:47.940 --> 00:26:48.579
 of their

00:26:48.579 --> 00:26:49.019
 sins.

00:26:51.099 --> 00:26:51.779
 And then

00:26:51.779 --> 00:26:52.059
 they can

00:26:52.059 --> 00:26:52.579
 become God's

00:26:52.579 --> 00:26:52.839
 child.

00:26:54.940 --> 00:26:56.380
 Once for

00:26:56.380 --> 00:26:56.599
 all.

00:26:56.940 --> 00:26:57.819
 Once forever.

00:26:58.860 --> 00:26:59.579
 So we've

00:26:59.579 --> 00:27:00.039
 got to share

00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:00.200
 it.

00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:01.600
 one of

00:27:01.600 --> 00:27:01.940
 the best

00:27:01.940 --> 00:27:02.340
 ways to

00:27:02.340 --> 00:27:02.660
 share it

00:27:02.660 --> 00:27:03.000
 is telling

00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:03.360
 your own

00:27:03.360 --> 00:27:03.740
 testimony.

00:27:05.240 --> 00:27:05.519
 So you

00:27:05.519 --> 00:27:05.759
 know I

00:27:05.759 --> 00:27:06.480
 was raised

00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:06.920
 in church

00:27:06.920 --> 00:27:07.480
 and when

00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:07.799
 I got

00:27:07.799 --> 00:27:08.160
 old enough

00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:08.860
 to understand

00:27:08.860 --> 00:27:09.920
 a Sunday

00:27:09.920 --> 00:27:10.539
 school teacher

00:27:10.539 --> 00:27:11.240
 or my

00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:11.759
 mom or

00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:12.559
 whoever it

00:27:12.559 --> 00:27:14.660
 was shared

00:27:14.660 --> 00:27:15.160
 this with

00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:15.460
 me.

00:27:16.500 --> 00:27:17.039
 And I

00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:17.360
 was old

00:27:17.360 --> 00:27:17.740
 enough to

00:27:17.740 --> 00:27:18.240
 understand

00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:18.920
 that I've

00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:19.259
 got to put

00:27:19.259 --> 00:27:19.700
 my faith

00:27:19.700 --> 00:27:20.140
 in Jesus.

00:27:21.539 --> 00:27:22.059
 And I

00:27:22.059 --> 00:27:22.279
 want to

00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:22.600
 share that

00:27:22.600 --> 00:27:22.960
 with you.

00:27:23.660 --> 00:27:24.299
 And this

00:27:24.299 --> 00:27:24.640
 is what

00:27:24.640 --> 00:27:25.080
 God has

00:27:25.080 --> 00:27:25.539
 shown me

00:27:25.539 --> 00:27:25.880
 over the

00:27:25.880 --> 00:27:26.180
 years.

00:27:26.940 --> 00:27:27.240
 I said

00:27:27.240 --> 00:27:27.539
 it a few

00:27:27.539 --> 00:27:28.080
 weeks ago.

00:27:28.200 --> 00:27:28.819
 Your story

00:27:28.819 --> 00:27:29.360
 is somebody

00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:29.839
 that nobody

00:27:29.839 --> 00:27:30.259
 can argue

00:27:30.259 --> 00:27:30.559
 with.

00:27:31.500 --> 00:27:32.279
 Your story

00:27:32.279 --> 00:27:32.719
 is something

00:27:32.719 --> 00:27:33.339
 that nobody

00:27:33.339 --> 00:27:33.879
 can argue

00:27:33.879 --> 00:27:34.219
 with.

00:27:34.839 --> 00:27:35.359
 Your story

00:27:35.359 --> 00:27:35.799
 is unique

00:27:35.799 --> 00:27:36.219
 to you.

00:27:37.259 --> 00:27:37.639
 They can

00:27:37.639 --> 00:27:38.119
 argue until

00:27:38.119 --> 00:27:38.399
 they're blue

00:27:38.399 --> 00:27:38.939
 in the face

00:27:38.939 --> 00:27:39.879
 about something

00:27:39.879 --> 00:27:40.299
 they read

00:27:40.299 --> 00:27:40.719
 in the Bible

00:27:40.719 --> 00:27:41.139
 or something

00:27:41.139 --> 00:27:41.559
 they heard

00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:42.059
 at church.

00:27:42.500 --> 00:27:43.019
 But they

00:27:43.019 --> 00:27:43.559
 can't argue

00:27:43.559 --> 00:27:44.419
 with what

00:27:44.419 --> 00:27:45.179
 you have

00:27:45.179 --> 00:27:45.959
 experienced

00:27:45.959 --> 00:27:47.579
 where God

00:27:47.579 --> 00:27:48.079
 has brought

00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:48.299
 you.

00:27:49.219 --> 00:27:49.639
 And you

00:27:49.639 --> 00:27:50.199
 can use

00:27:50.199 --> 00:27:51.319
 that with

00:27:51.319 --> 00:27:51.859
 scripture.

00:27:52.959 --> 00:27:53.500
 If you're

00:27:53.500 --> 00:27:53.939
 only telling

00:27:53.939 --> 00:27:54.719
 your experience

00:27:54.719 --> 00:27:55.199
 that's not

00:27:55.199 --> 00:27:55.519
 going to get

00:27:55.519 --> 00:27:55.879
 them anywhere

00:27:55.880 --> 00:27:56.220
 good.

00:27:56.300 --> 00:27:56.560
 But if

00:27:56.560 --> 00:27:57.140
 you share

00:27:57.140 --> 00:27:57.520
 the word

00:27:57.520 --> 00:27:57.940
 of God

00:27:57.940 --> 00:27:58.460
 with them

00:27:58.460 --> 00:27:59.320
 at least

00:27:59.320 --> 00:27:59.720
 give them

00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:00.220
 John 3

00:28:00.220 --> 00:28:00.620
 16.

00:28:00.820 --> 00:28:01.020
 Okay?

00:28:02.020 --> 00:28:02.380
 Can we

00:28:02.380 --> 00:28:02.780
 all say

00:28:02.780 --> 00:28:03.220
 John 3

00:28:03.220 --> 00:28:03.600
 16?

00:28:03.940 --> 00:28:04.600
 Let's try

00:28:04.600 --> 00:28:04.780
 it.

00:28:04.860 --> 00:28:04.960
 Ready?

00:28:05.420 --> 00:28:06.160
 For God

00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:07.100
 so loved

00:28:07.100 --> 00:28:07.820
 the world

00:28:07.820 --> 00:28:08.700
 that he

00:28:08.700 --> 00:28:09.540
 gave his

00:28:09.540 --> 00:28:10.040
 only,

00:28:10.300 --> 00:28:10.820
 his one

00:28:10.820 --> 00:28:11.220
 and only

00:28:11.220 --> 00:28:11.620
 son,

00:28:11.700 --> 00:28:12.260
 only begotten

00:28:12.260 --> 00:28:12.500
 son,

00:28:12.740 --> 00:28:14.060
 that whosoever

00:28:14.060 --> 00:28:15.080
 believes in

00:28:15.080 --> 00:28:16.300
 him should

00:28:16.300 --> 00:28:17.040
 not perish

00:28:17.040 --> 00:28:17.960
 but have

00:28:17.960 --> 00:28:18.900
 eternal

00:28:18.900 --> 00:28:19.700
 or everlasting

00:28:19.700 --> 00:28:20.440
 life.

00:28:20.440 --> 00:28:23.059
 We got

00:28:23.059 --> 00:28:23.559
 that one

00:28:23.559 --> 00:28:24.200
 most of

00:28:24.200 --> 00:28:24.380
 us.

00:28:24.480 --> 00:28:24.700
 If you

00:28:24.700 --> 00:28:25.059
 don't

00:28:25.059 --> 00:28:25.519
 commit

00:28:25.519 --> 00:28:25.900
 that one

00:28:25.900 --> 00:28:26.299
 to memory

00:28:26.299 --> 00:28:26.600
 alright?

00:28:28.160 --> 00:28:28.600
 Pull out

00:28:28.600 --> 00:28:28.940
 your little

00:28:28.940 --> 00:28:29.480
 Bible app

00:28:29.480 --> 00:28:29.799
 on your

00:28:29.799 --> 00:28:30.259
 phone or

00:28:30.259 --> 00:28:30.759
 grab your

00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:31.400
 paper Bible

00:28:31.400 --> 00:28:31.940
 and look

00:28:31.940 --> 00:28:32.559
 at it and

00:28:32.559 --> 00:28:33.380
 read John

00:28:33.380 --> 00:28:34.039
 3 16

00:28:34.039 --> 00:28:34.559
 until you

00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:34.940
 know it

00:28:34.940 --> 00:28:35.279
 backwards

00:28:35.279 --> 00:28:35.920
 and forwards

00:28:35.920 --> 00:28:37.080
 upside down.

00:28:38.539 --> 00:28:39.059
 John 3

00:28:39.059 --> 00:28:39.900
 16 has

00:28:39.900 --> 00:28:40.299
 the whole

00:28:40.299 --> 00:28:40.960
 gospel in

00:28:40.960 --> 00:28:41.100
 it.

00:28:42.539 --> 00:28:42.860
 There's

00:28:42.860 --> 00:28:43.539
 many many

00:28:43.539 --> 00:28:44.059
 other verses

00:28:44.059 --> 00:28:44.460
 you could

00:28:44.460 --> 00:28:45.000
 share to

00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:45.500
 help lead

00:28:45.500 --> 00:28:46.120
 somebody to

00:28:46.120 --> 00:28:47.059
 Jesus but

00:28:47.059 --> 00:28:47.580
 at least

00:28:47.580 --> 00:28:48.160
 get the

00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:48.960
 gospel in.

00:28:50.440 --> 00:28:50.980
 Share your

00:28:50.980 --> 00:28:51.480
 testimony.

00:28:53.160 --> 00:28:53.720
 Share this

00:28:53.720 --> 00:28:54.559
 quote with

00:28:54.559 --> 00:28:54.700
 you.

00:28:54.779 --> 00:28:55.019
 One of the

00:28:55.019 --> 00:28:55.299
 greatest

00:28:55.299 --> 00:28:55.940
 evangelism

00:28:55.940 --> 00:28:56.640
 professors I

00:28:56.640 --> 00:28:57.100
 ever heard

00:28:57.100 --> 00:28:57.400
 in my

00:28:57.400 --> 00:28:57.740
 seminary

00:28:57.740 --> 00:28:58.340
 training was

00:28:58.340 --> 00:28:58.660
 this.

00:28:59.200 --> 00:28:59.759
 If a man

00:28:59.759 --> 00:29:00.340
 hears the

00:29:00.340 --> 00:29:01.240
 gospel and

00:29:01.240 --> 00:29:02.019
 receives it

00:29:02.019 --> 00:29:03.140
 God's

00:29:03.140 --> 00:29:03.640
 responsible.

00:29:04.680 --> 00:29:05.180
 It's true

00:29:05.180 --> 00:29:05.559
 isn't it?

00:29:07.140 --> 00:29:07.920
 We can't

00:29:07.920 --> 00:29:08.299
 take credit

00:29:08.299 --> 00:29:08.660
 for that.

00:29:09.259 --> 00:29:09.900
 When you

00:29:09.900 --> 00:29:10.279
 heard the

00:29:10.279 --> 00:29:10.799
 gospel and

00:29:10.799 --> 00:29:11.380
 you received

00:29:11.380 --> 00:29:11.980
 it God

00:29:11.980 --> 00:29:12.680
 was responsible

00:29:12.680 --> 00:29:13.100
 for that.

00:29:13.180 --> 00:29:13.500
 He made

00:29:13.500 --> 00:29:14.000
 that happen.

00:29:14.820 --> 00:29:15.039
 If he

00:29:15.039 --> 00:29:15.640
 hears it and

00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:16.320
 rejects it

00:29:16.320 --> 00:29:18.680
 he's responsible

00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:19.140
 for that.

00:29:19.380 --> 00:29:20.019
 He rejected

00:29:20.019 --> 00:29:23.220
 he had an

00:29:23.220 --> 00:29:24.440
 opportunity and

00:29:24.440 --> 00:29:24.839
 he didn't

00:29:24.839 --> 00:29:25.279
 he didn't

00:29:25.279 --> 00:29:25.799
 accept it.

00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:26.819
 He rejected.

00:29:27.599 --> 00:29:28.339
 God knew he

00:29:28.339 --> 00:29:28.759
 would reject

00:29:28.759 --> 00:29:29.019
 it.

00:29:30.299 --> 00:29:31.079
 Still allowed

00:29:31.079 --> 00:29:31.599
 him to have

00:29:31.599 --> 00:29:32.200
 this time on

00:29:32.200 --> 00:29:32.619
 this earth

00:29:32.619 --> 00:29:34.460
 but he

00:29:34.460 --> 00:29:34.879
 rejected.

00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:36.700
 He's

00:29:36.700 --> 00:29:37.440
 responsible but

00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:38.460
 if he

00:29:38.460 --> 00:29:39.059
 never hears

00:29:39.059 --> 00:29:42.460
 that's on

00:29:42.460 --> 00:29:43.759
 us because

00:29:43.759 --> 00:29:44.240
 our job is

00:29:44.240 --> 00:29:44.519
 to get the

00:29:44.519 --> 00:29:44.980
 gospel out.

00:29:46.119 --> 00:29:46.440
 I don't

00:29:46.440 --> 00:29:47.119
 exactly understand

00:29:47.119 --> 00:29:47.400
 how that

00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:47.700
 works.

00:29:47.700 --> 00:29:50.240
 God could

00:29:50.240 --> 00:29:51.740
 just plop

00:29:51.740 --> 00:29:52.360
 a Bible in

00:29:52.360 --> 00:29:52.680
 front of

00:29:52.680 --> 00:29:53.259
 everybody on

00:29:53.259 --> 00:29:53.720
 earth and

00:29:53.720 --> 00:29:54.759
 have it fall

00:29:54.759 --> 00:29:55.160
 open to

00:29:55.160 --> 00:29:55.860
 John 3 16

00:29:55.860 --> 00:29:56.380
 and make

00:29:56.380 --> 00:29:56.720
 sure they

00:29:56.720 --> 00:29:56.980
 hear.

00:29:57.660 --> 00:29:58.279
 He could

00:29:58.279 --> 00:29:58.580
 do that

00:29:58.580 --> 00:29:58.759
 if he

00:29:58.759 --> 00:29:59.140
 wanted to.

00:30:00.660 --> 00:30:01.299
 But instead

00:30:01.299 --> 00:30:02.900
 he chose

00:30:02.900 --> 00:30:03.500
 to tell us

00:30:03.500 --> 00:30:03.940
 to go do

00:30:03.940 --> 00:30:04.080
 it.

00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:06.360
 And in

00:30:06.360 --> 00:30:07.019
 some way

00:30:07.019 --> 00:30:08.039
 even though

00:30:08.039 --> 00:30:08.559
 God's in

00:30:08.559 --> 00:30:08.960
 charge of

00:30:08.960 --> 00:30:09.400
 all this

00:30:09.400 --> 00:30:10.100
 and he

00:30:10.100 --> 00:30:10.620
 knows and

00:30:10.620 --> 00:30:10.940
 all his

00:30:10.940 --> 00:30:11.460
 children are

00:30:11.460 --> 00:30:11.640
 going to

00:30:11.640 --> 00:30:11.960
 come into

00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:12.360
 the kingdom

00:30:12.360 --> 00:30:14.059
 it still

00:30:14.059 --> 00:30:14.660
 depends on

00:30:14.660 --> 00:30:15.140
 us going

00:30:15.140 --> 00:30:15.519
 and getting

00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:15.920
 it out.

00:30:16.920 --> 00:30:17.500
 So you

00:30:17.500 --> 00:30:17.940
 can't just

00:30:17.940 --> 00:30:18.400
 sit back

00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:18.740
 and say

00:30:18.740 --> 00:30:19.579
 well I

00:30:19.579 --> 00:30:19.859
 don't have

00:30:19.859 --> 00:30:20.079
 to do

00:30:20.079 --> 00:30:20.420
 anything

00:30:20.420 --> 00:30:21.480
 because God's

00:30:21.480 --> 00:30:22.099
 responsible for

00:30:22.099 --> 00:30:22.579
 it all so

00:30:22.579 --> 00:30:23.720
 he'll sort

00:30:23.720 --> 00:30:24.019
 it out.

00:30:24.799 --> 00:30:25.279
 He'll sort

00:30:25.279 --> 00:30:25.639
 the sheep

00:30:25.639 --> 00:30:25.980
 from the

00:30:25.980 --> 00:30:26.460
 wolves you

00:30:26.460 --> 00:30:26.639
 know.

00:30:27.480 --> 00:30:27.920
 Thank God

00:30:27.920 --> 00:30:28.200
 I'm a

00:30:28.200 --> 00:30:28.379
 sheep.

00:30:31.079 --> 00:30:31.539
 Nope

00:30:31.539 --> 00:30:32.639
 that's not

00:30:32.639 --> 00:30:32.900
 what he

00:30:32.900 --> 00:30:33.160
 said.

00:30:34.779 --> 00:30:35.539
 He said

00:30:35.539 --> 00:30:35.819
 you're

00:30:35.819 --> 00:30:36.339
 responsible

00:30:36.339 --> 00:30:37.160
 to take

00:30:37.160 --> 00:30:37.980
 this good

00:30:37.980 --> 00:30:38.799
 news out

00:30:38.799 --> 00:30:39.900
 so go

00:30:39.900 --> 00:30:40.519
 do it.

00:30:41.279 --> 00:30:41.720
 Go

00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:42.359
 and

00:30:42.359 --> 00:30:43.059
 tell.

00:30:43.059 --> 00:30:45.759
 So

00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:46.579
 our

00:30:46.579 --> 00:30:46.879
 takeaway

00:30:46.879 --> 00:30:47.200
 today

00:30:47.200 --> 00:30:47.379
 is

00:30:47.379 --> 00:30:47.759
 this

00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:50.119
 praying

00:30:50.119 --> 00:30:51.419
 inviting

00:30:51.419 --> 00:30:52.700
 and

00:30:52.700 --> 00:30:53.119
 sharing.

00:30:54.859 --> 00:30:55.720
 You know

00:30:55.720 --> 00:30:56.279
 what happens

00:30:56.279 --> 00:30:57.539
 if all

00:30:57.539 --> 00:30:57.980
 God's

00:30:57.980 --> 00:30:58.679
 people win

00:30:58.679 --> 00:30:59.099
 one

00:30:59.099 --> 00:31:01.019
 we win

00:31:01.019 --> 00:31:01.559
 the world

00:31:01.559 --> 00:31:04.659
 and I'm

00:31:04.659 --> 00:31:05.079
 convinced

00:31:05.079 --> 00:31:05.599
 that Jesus

00:31:05.599 --> 00:31:06.119
 isn't going

00:31:06.119 --> 00:31:06.419
 to come

00:31:06.419 --> 00:31:06.799
 back

00:31:06.799 --> 00:31:08.299
 until

00:31:08.299 --> 00:31:08.759
 every

00:31:08.759 --> 00:31:09.119
 corner

00:31:09.119 --> 00:31:09.500
 of this

00:31:09.500 --> 00:31:09.819
 earth

00:31:09.819 --> 00:31:11.240
 has had

00:31:11.240 --> 00:31:11.700
 a chance

00:31:11.700 --> 00:31:12.159
 to hear

00:31:12.159 --> 00:31:12.859
 the gospel.

00:31:13.059 --> 00:31:16.059
 So it's

00:31:16.059 --> 00:31:16.500
 our job

00:31:16.500 --> 00:31:16.759
 to get

00:31:16.759 --> 00:31:17.099
 it out.

00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:19.419
 Win

00:31:19.419 --> 00:31:19.799
 one

00:31:19.799 --> 00:31:20.700
 win

00:31:20.700 --> 00:31:21.139
 the world.

00:31:21.619 --> 00:31:21.839
 What do

00:31:21.839 --> 00:31:22.099
 you need

00:31:22.099 --> 00:31:22.399
 to do?

00:31:22.859 --> 00:31:23.379
 Are you

00:31:23.379 --> 00:31:23.599
 already

00:31:23.599 --> 00:31:23.940
 praying

00:31:23.940 --> 00:31:24.259
 for the

00:31:24.259 --> 00:31:24.579
 lost?

00:31:25.200 --> 00:31:25.460
 Do you

00:31:25.460 --> 00:31:25.700
 need to

00:31:25.700 --> 00:31:26.000
 take the

00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:26.460
 next step

00:31:26.460 --> 00:31:26.859
 and invite

00:31:26.859 --> 00:31:27.079
 them?

00:31:28.019 --> 00:31:28.539
 Have you

00:31:28.539 --> 00:31:28.759
 already

00:31:28.759 --> 00:31:29.159
 invited

00:31:29.159 --> 00:31:29.500
 them but

00:31:29.500 --> 00:31:29.700
 you've

00:31:29.700 --> 00:31:29.879
 never

00:31:29.879 --> 00:31:30.259
 actually

00:31:30.259 --> 00:31:30.579
 shared

00:31:30.579 --> 00:31:31.099
 the gospel?

00:31:32.299 --> 00:31:32.839
 Where do

00:31:32.839 --> 00:31:33.099
 you need

00:31:33.099 --> 00:31:33.460
 to go?

00:31:33.659 --> 00:31:33.819
 What

00:31:33.819 --> 00:31:34.200
 step do

00:31:34.200 --> 00:31:34.359
 you need

00:31:34.359 --> 00:31:34.779
 to take?

00:31:35.279 --> 00:31:35.559
 Pray

00:31:35.559 --> 00:31:36.759
 invite

00:31:36.759 --> 00:31:37.799
 share.

00:31:38.379 --> 00:31:38.579
 Would

00:31:38.579 --> 00:31:38.839
 you bow

00:31:38.839 --> 00:31:39.119
 with me

00:31:39.119 --> 00:31:39.579
 right now?

00:31:40.019 --> 00:31:40.279
 God

00:31:40.279 --> 00:31:40.980
 give

00:31:40.980 --> 00:31:41.779
 every

00:31:41.779 --> 00:31:42.339
 man

00:31:42.339 --> 00:31:42.799
 woman

00:31:42.799 --> 00:31:43.559
 and

00:31:43.559 --> 00:31:43.799
 young

00:31:43.799 --> 00:31:44.180

00:31:44.180 --> 00:31:44.399

00:31:44.399 --> 00:31:44.680
 this

00:31:44.680 --> 00:31:45.059
 room

00:31:45.059 --> 00:31:45.940
 one.

00:31:47.440 --> 00:31:47.940
 Give

00:31:47.940 --> 00:31:48.099
 them
