00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.759
 Well, good morning, First Baptist Church family.

00:00:06.860 --> 00:00:10.240
 My, what a privilege and a joy it is to be back here.

00:00:10.359 --> 00:00:14.820
 Thank you, choir, so much for your leadership and worship this morning.

00:00:15.099 --> 00:00:22.019
 And thank you, Pastor Sam, for the invitation to come back, for Susie and I to be with you today.

00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:29.379
 I keep hearing good things about you as far as some conversations that we would have with First One

00:00:29.379 --> 00:00:30.239
 and then another.

00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:33.600
 And, of course, I'm glad to hear those things.

00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:41.100
 I particularly have been pleased to hear about the election of several young deacons.

00:00:41.479 --> 00:00:50.539
 I'm grateful for those veteran deacons, as I know you are within the church that has served the church for many years.

00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:57.120
 But what a joy to hear about the election and the ordination of these young men.

00:00:57.119 --> 00:01:02.659
 And that's going to be something that I'm convinced will make First Baptist Church a better church

00:01:02.659 --> 00:01:05.219
 and speaks well of the future.

00:01:05.899 --> 00:01:11.039
 And I'm also so pleased to hear how the church is following the example of the pastor

00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:20.080
 and moving outside the church to minister to those within this community.

00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:27.980
 I truly believe, as I spent some time with you, that I could see that the brightness of your future as a church family

00:01:27.980 --> 00:01:33.000
 would be tied in so much with the relationship that you would have with the schools,

00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:42.579
 with other organizations within the city, with coming to know and minister to the people that are truly outside the walls of this church,

00:01:42.819 --> 00:01:45.540
 some of which need to be in some of our churches.

00:01:45.780 --> 00:01:48.400
 But right now, they're different from us.

00:01:48.500 --> 00:01:54.200
 They don't all look like you do or smell like you do or act like you do.

00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:57.200
 But that's our field of service, isn't it?

00:01:57.260 --> 00:01:59.020
 That's our target group.

00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:03.780
 And we need to certainly be engaged in those ways in which we can

00:02:03.780 --> 00:02:10.980
 that would move us outside the walls of the church and beyond ministering just to each other.

00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:13.819
 And I commend you in that.

00:02:13.819 --> 00:02:21.139
 Thank you so much for the way in which you were so gracious and good to Susie and I.

00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:26.159
 During the months that we were here, we have such fond memories,

00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:29.319
 and we'll have those all the rest of our life.

00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:33.159
 And thank you for the way you treated us so graciously.

00:02:33.699 --> 00:02:40.680
 At the present time, we have been called to serve as the interim pastor up at First Baptist Church Bonham.

00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:44.780
 If you know where Bonham is, up there between Sherman and Paris,

00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:47.920
 had our first Sunday there last Sunday.

00:02:48.420 --> 00:02:50.980
 And I kind of apologized last Sunday to say,

00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:54.080
 I'm sorry to be here one Sunday and go on the next,

00:02:54.219 --> 00:03:00.360
 but we promised the people up at First Baptist Henrietta that we would be there next Sunday.

00:03:00.460 --> 00:03:01.680
 And they understood that.

00:03:01.819 --> 00:03:06.860
 But every time you can think about it, my, how we would appreciate your prayers for us

00:03:06.860 --> 00:03:11.640
 as we come to deal with a church that, folks, let me say to you straight out,

00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:15.540
 is a very different church in many ways from the one here in Henrietta.

00:03:15.860 --> 00:03:19.240
 They're facing some really difficult challenges right now,

00:03:19.340 --> 00:03:23.440
 and only the work of God is going to be able to really make a difference.

00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:26.640
 Hey, we brought help this morning.

00:03:26.820 --> 00:03:29.900
 James and Wanda Nichols are with us as our guests.

00:03:29.900 --> 00:03:32.760
 They're neighbors to us there in McKinney,

00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:36.840
 and we're going to head on up into Oklahoma for a couple of days

00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:39.060
 and aggravate one another up there.

00:03:39.179 --> 00:03:40.560
 But if you've not met the Nichols,

00:03:40.679 --> 00:03:44.519
 well, I hope you'd feel free to introduce yourself after the amen

00:03:44.519 --> 00:03:48.579
 or maybe during our potluck lunch today.

00:03:49.359 --> 00:03:52.680
 Well, on this Sunday preceding Thanksgiving,

00:03:53.399 --> 00:03:58.000
 I am reminded of one of the things for which I am most grateful.

00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:05.560
 I'm referring to the thing that helps me perhaps more than anything else

00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:08.180
 when I find my back against the wall,

00:04:08.620 --> 00:04:13.439
 when I find myself facing a difficult and trying situation.

00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:19.439
 Folks, I am so thankful for the character

00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:24.639
 and the nature of the God we call our Savior.

00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:30.459
 That is such a source of a resource of strength and help to me

00:04:30.459 --> 00:04:34.699
 when I face trying times to remind myself

00:04:34.699 --> 00:04:38.879
 of the kind of God that we serve.

00:04:39.579 --> 00:04:44.379
 One of the places that we see God's character expressing itself

00:04:44.379 --> 00:04:47.379
 is there on the Sea of Galilee

00:04:47.379 --> 00:04:51.259
 when Simon Peter decided that he would walk on the water.

00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:51.860
 Remember?

00:04:52.459 --> 00:04:54.120
 I'm sure you do remember,

00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:56.600
 and I want us to go there this morning.

00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:59.939
 There's a man by the name of John Ortberg

00:04:59.939 --> 00:05:01.660
 who has written a book entitled

00:05:01.660 --> 00:05:03.680
 If You Want to Walk on the Water,

00:05:03.860 --> 00:05:05.480
 You've Got to Get Out of the Boat.

00:05:05.780 --> 00:05:08.439
 And I want to springboard off of some of the things

00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:10.759
 that John said about this passage

00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:13.600
 that's found in Matthew chapter 14.

00:05:13.939 --> 00:05:15.259
 So if you have your Bible,

00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:16.620
 and I hope that you do,

00:05:17.060 --> 00:05:20.120
 turn with me this morning to Matthew and chapter 14.

00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:23.639
 And you follow along with me in whatever translation

00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:25.199
 that you have with you.

00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:29.720
 I'll be reading out of the English Standard Version this morning,

00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:32.519
 or you can follow along there on the screen

00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:36.160
 to these verses 22 through 33

00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:38.639
 in Matthew chapter 14.

00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:41.560
 The Bible speaks to us there to say immediately.

00:05:42.180 --> 00:05:44.319
 He made the disciples get into the boat

00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:46.519
 and go before him to the other side

00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:48.779
 while he dismissed the crowds.

00:05:50.339 --> 00:05:52.699
 And after he had dismissed the crowds,

00:05:52.860 --> 00:05:55.659
 he went up on a mountain by himself to pray.

00:05:56.419 --> 00:05:59.120
 When the evening came, he was there alone,

00:05:59.259 --> 00:06:00.699
 but the boat by this time

00:06:00.699 --> 00:06:03.120
 was a long way from the land,

00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:05.120
 and then beaten by the waves

00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:07.680
 for the wind was against them.

00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:10.340
 And in the fourth watch of the night,

00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:14.000
 that would be between 3 and 6 a.m.,

00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:15.860
 in the fourth watch of the night,

00:06:16.259 --> 00:06:19.120
 he came to them walking on the water.

00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:22.000
 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea,

00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:23.620
 they were terrified and said,

00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:25.040
 it is a ghost.

00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:27.360
 And they cried out in fear.

00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:30.660
 But immediately Jesus spoke to them saying,

00:06:30.660 --> 00:06:32.120
 Take heart.

00:06:32.660 --> 00:06:33.500
 It is I.

00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:35.260
 Do not be afraid.

00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:37.380
 And Peter answered him,

00:06:37.460 --> 00:06:38.620
 Lord, if it is you,

00:06:39.260 --> 00:06:41.200
 command me to come to you on the water.

00:06:42.020 --> 00:06:42.920
 He said, Come.

00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:45.220
 So Peter got out of the boat

00:06:45.220 --> 00:06:46.540
 and walked on the water

00:06:46.540 --> 00:06:47.680
 and came to Jesus.

00:06:48.400 --> 00:06:50.320
 But when he saw the wind,

00:06:51.140 --> 00:06:52.080
 he was afraid.

00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:54.140
 And beginning to sink,

00:06:54.260 --> 00:06:55.100
 he cried out,

00:06:55.220 --> 00:06:56.700
 Lord, save me.

00:06:56.699 --> 00:07:00.199
 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand

00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:01.120
 and took hold of him,

00:07:01.219 --> 00:07:01.879
 saying to him,

00:07:01.979 --> 00:07:04.199
 Oh, you of little faith,

00:07:04.939 --> 00:07:05.920
 why did you doubt?

00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:08.360
 And when they got into the boat,

00:07:08.899 --> 00:07:10.339
 the wind ceased.

00:07:11.039 --> 00:07:13.379
 And those in the boat worshipped him,

00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:13.939
 saying,

00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:18.019
 Truly, you are the Son of God.

00:07:19.740 --> 00:07:23.180
 Well, we were approaching Denver

00:07:23.180 --> 00:07:25.060
 at about 20,000 feet.

00:07:25.060 --> 00:07:27.860
 It was a rough day.

00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:29.240
 And I was thinking

00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:30.639
 I might just fill up

00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:31.879
 one of those little bags

00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:34.319
 that they place in the seat

00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:35.060
 in front of you,

00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:35.360
 you know,

00:07:35.459 --> 00:07:36.780
 with my motion sickness.

00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:38.759
 However, more importantly,

00:07:38.939 --> 00:07:39.740
 I was concerned

00:07:39.740 --> 00:07:40.699
 as to whether or not

00:07:40.699 --> 00:07:43.040
 we were in some serious trouble.

00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:46.000
 I was flying Frontier Airlines

00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:47.540
 for the first time.

00:07:47.620 --> 00:07:49.860
 Any of you remember Frontier

00:07:49.860 --> 00:07:51.000
 out of Denver?

00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:54.139
 Well, my questions were things like,

00:07:54.139 --> 00:07:56.060
 Can this pilot be trusted?

00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:58.500
 Was he or she

00:07:58.500 --> 00:08:00.759
 of sufficient competence

00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:02.899
 that I can place my destiny

00:08:02.899 --> 00:08:04.319
 in his or her hands?

00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:07.060
 Well, it was too little late

00:08:07.060 --> 00:08:08.399
 for those kind of questions.

00:08:08.579 --> 00:08:08.759
 You know,

00:08:08.860 --> 00:08:11.180
 I was simply going to have to have faith

00:08:11.180 --> 00:08:14.019
 that they knew what they were doing.

00:08:15.019 --> 00:08:16.379
 Have you found yourself

00:08:16.379 --> 00:08:17.419
 in those situations

00:08:17.419 --> 00:08:19.120
 from time to time in life

00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:21.840
 where matters very important to you

00:08:21.840 --> 00:08:24.639
 or in the hands of somebody else?

00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:28.280
 That requires faith, doesn't it?

00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:31.579
 And intimately connected to faith

00:08:31.579 --> 00:08:33.399
 is risk.

00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:35.860
 Where there can be no faith

00:08:35.860 --> 00:08:36.940
 without risk.

00:08:37.419 --> 00:08:42.259
 And risk is intimately connected to fear.

00:08:42.259 --> 00:08:44.559
 There can be no faith

00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:45.659
 without risk

00:08:45.659 --> 00:08:48.679
 and sometimes failure.

00:08:49.980 --> 00:08:53.679
 Faith requires risking failure.

00:08:54.419 --> 00:08:56.120
 And that brings us to the story

00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:57.919
 of Peter here in the boat.

00:08:58.819 --> 00:09:00.620
 According to verse 24 there,

00:09:00.740 --> 00:09:03.399
 a storm comes along so rough

00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:06.019
 that the disciples can't be able

00:09:06.019 --> 00:09:08.120
 to make it across this body of water.

00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:08.759
 And these,

00:09:09.179 --> 00:09:10.159
 I would remind you,

00:09:10.220 --> 00:09:11.440
 are professional sailors.

00:09:11.659 --> 00:09:12.600
 Several of them are.

00:09:13.220 --> 00:09:14.580
 Verse 25 tells us

00:09:14.580 --> 00:09:16.360
 that Jesus came there

00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:19.159
 between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m.

00:09:19.179 --> 00:09:20.840
 in the fourth watch of the night.

00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:22.500
 Now picture in your mind,

00:09:22.580 --> 00:09:23.159
 if you will,

00:09:23.740 --> 00:09:26.019
 the size of the waves,

00:09:26.659 --> 00:09:28.740
 the strength of the wind.

00:09:29.179 --> 00:09:31.779
 Picture the darkness of the night

00:09:31.779 --> 00:09:32.840
 and this little boat

00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:36.200
 struggling to avoid being capsized.

00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:38.259
 Picture in your mind,

00:09:38.379 --> 00:09:38.900
 I say,

00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:40.160
 this little boat.

00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:41.600
 Well, Matthew says

00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:44.320
 the boat was tormented by the waves.

00:09:44.920 --> 00:09:46.900
 That's the Greek word that he uses,

00:09:47.220 --> 00:09:48.640
 tormented by the waves.

00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:49.620
 So here they are.

00:09:50.280 --> 00:09:50.680
 Cold,

00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:51.860
 wet,

00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:53.620
 exhausted,

00:09:54.820 --> 00:09:55.379
 terrified.

00:09:56.320 --> 00:09:57.540
 Those are the conditions

00:09:57.540 --> 00:09:58.800
 under which Peter

00:09:58.800 --> 00:10:00.320
 is going to get out of the boat.

00:10:02.259 --> 00:10:03.460
 I spent a little time

00:10:03.460 --> 00:10:04.800
 on Lake Texhoma

00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:06.959
 and Ray Roberts,

00:10:07.459 --> 00:10:08.240
 Sam Rayburn,

00:10:08.359 --> 00:10:09.639
 some of those reservoirs

00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:10.799
 around our state.

00:10:11.339 --> 00:10:13.319
 When the waves were high

00:10:13.319 --> 00:10:15.459
 and the wind had gotten up

00:10:15.459 --> 00:10:17.199
 and I was glad

00:10:17.199 --> 00:10:19.079
 to be in a large bass boat,

00:10:19.179 --> 00:10:19.539
 you know,

00:10:20.099 --> 00:10:22.099
 we negotiated those waves

00:10:22.099 --> 00:10:22.740
 carefully

00:10:22.740 --> 00:10:24.740
 as we would make our way

00:10:24.740 --> 00:10:25.359
 to safety.

00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:28.219
 I can hardly imagine

00:10:28.219 --> 00:10:29.620
 someone suggesting

00:10:29.620 --> 00:10:31.539
 that I would step out

00:10:31.539 --> 00:10:32.079
 of the boat

00:10:32.079 --> 00:10:33.799
 under those kind of traditions

00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:36.559
 trying to stay upright

00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:38.699
 in that kind of weather.

00:10:39.339 --> 00:10:40.679
 I would think

00:10:40.679 --> 00:10:42.259
 that it would be difficult enough

00:10:42.259 --> 00:10:43.339
 to get out of a boat

00:10:43.339 --> 00:10:46.079
 and try to walk on the water

00:10:46.079 --> 00:10:47.759
 when it's calm in the daylight.

00:10:48.079 --> 00:10:48.339
 I mean,

00:10:48.459 --> 00:10:49.179
 good night.

00:10:49.859 --> 00:10:51.019
 How much courage

00:10:51.019 --> 00:10:51.939
 would it take

00:10:51.939 --> 00:10:54.759
 to average person

00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:55.819
 could be able to

00:10:55.819 --> 00:10:57.539
 do what Simon Peter

00:10:57.539 --> 00:10:58.759
 did that night?

00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:01.019
 Imagine doing it

00:11:01.019 --> 00:11:02.840
 with the waves crashing,

00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:03.840
 with the wind

00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:05.080
 at gale force

00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:06.379
 and three o'clock

00:11:06.379 --> 00:11:06.919
 in the morning.

00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:07.299
 Well,

00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:08.860
 Peter gets out

00:11:08.860 --> 00:11:11.299
 and he falls.

00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:13.340
 He doesn't make it.

00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:16.240
 It's a story of failure.

00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:19.939
 Or is it?

00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:22.799
 Is it a story

00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:24.299
 of failure?

00:11:24.299 --> 00:11:24.439
 failure.

00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:27.559
 Include yourself

00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:29.699
 if you've ever

00:11:29.699 --> 00:11:30.639
 flunked a test.

00:11:32.179 --> 00:11:33.219
 If you've ever been

00:11:33.219 --> 00:11:34.439
 cut from a team.

00:11:35.699 --> 00:11:36.459
 If you ever

00:11:36.459 --> 00:11:37.799
 didn't get that job

00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:39.000
 or that promotion

00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:40.019
 that you wanted.

00:11:41.319 --> 00:11:42.339
 Include yourself

00:11:42.339 --> 00:11:42.939
 if you've ever

00:11:42.939 --> 00:11:43.759
 been impatient

00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:45.059
 with a three-year-old.

00:11:45.299 --> 00:11:45.879
 If you've ever

00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:47.139
 said the wrong thing

00:11:47.139 --> 00:11:47.539
 or eaten

00:11:47.539 --> 00:11:48.679
 with the wrong fork.

00:11:49.059 --> 00:11:49.879
 Oh my lens,

00:11:49.979 --> 00:11:50.500
 if you've ever

00:11:50.500 --> 00:11:51.599
 experienced failure

00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:52.500
 of any kind,

00:11:52.580 --> 00:11:53.540
 I say to you,

00:11:53.800 --> 00:11:54.899
 all of us

00:11:54.899 --> 00:11:56.200
 are would-be

00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:57.659
 water walkers.

00:11:58.480 --> 00:11:59.500
 All of us.

00:11:59.899 --> 00:12:00.480
 And God

00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:01.540
 did not intend

00:12:01.540 --> 00:12:02.720
 for human beings

00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:03.759
 His children

00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:05.139
 that are created

00:12:05.139 --> 00:12:06.720
 in His divine image

00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:08.240
 to go through life

00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:10.180
 in a desperate effort

00:12:10.180 --> 00:12:11.540
 to avoid failure.

00:12:12.019 --> 00:12:12.500
 The Lord

00:12:12.500 --> 00:12:13.440
 never intended

00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:14.600
 that for us.

00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:18.080
 But the boat

00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:20.000
 is so safe

00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:23.240
 and so comfortable.

00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:26.600
 The waves are high.

00:12:26.940 --> 00:12:28.179
 The night is dark

00:12:28.179 --> 00:12:28.919
 and a storm

00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:29.899
 is out there.

00:12:30.899 --> 00:12:31.679
 And if you get

00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:32.500
 out of the boat,

00:12:32.840 --> 00:12:34.200
 you very likely

00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:35.559
 are going to sink.

00:12:37.860 --> 00:12:39.200
 But if you don't

00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:40.960
 get out of the boat,

00:12:41.740 --> 00:12:42.840
 you're never going

00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:43.960
 to walk on water.

00:12:44.679 --> 00:12:45.039
 Duh.

00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:45.700
 You know?

00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:46.539
 God,

00:12:46.539 --> 00:12:47.639
 yeah,

00:12:48.139 --> 00:12:49.219
 there's something

00:12:49.219 --> 00:12:50.740
 inside of us,

00:12:50.819 --> 00:12:51.120
 folks.

00:12:51.179 --> 00:12:52.039
 Wouldn't you agree?

00:12:52.379 --> 00:12:53.159
 There's something

00:12:53.159 --> 00:12:54.519
 inside of us

00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:55.839
 that tells us

00:12:55.839 --> 00:12:57.039
 that our lives

00:12:57.039 --> 00:12:58.879
 are about more

00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:00.019
 than just sitting

00:13:00.019 --> 00:13:00.779
 in the boat.

00:13:02.379 --> 00:13:03.959
 Something that wants

00:13:03.959 --> 00:13:05.620
 to walk on the water.

00:13:06.659 --> 00:13:08.319
 Something that calls us

00:13:08.319 --> 00:13:09.719
 to leave the routine

00:13:09.719 --> 00:13:11.980
 of a comfortable existence

00:13:11.980 --> 00:13:14.039
 and abandon ourselves

00:13:14.039 --> 00:13:15.220
 to the adventure

00:13:15.220 --> 00:13:17.039
 of following Christ.

00:13:17.680 --> 00:13:18.100
 Yeah,

00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:18.879
 there's something

00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:19.960
 inside of us

00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:21.120
 that tells us

00:13:21.120 --> 00:13:22.879
 now that's the right

00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:24.200
 thing to do.

00:13:25.659 --> 00:13:26.740
 Jesus comes

00:13:26.740 --> 00:13:27.720
 to his disciples

00:13:27.720 --> 00:13:28.500
 here and

00:13:28.500 --> 00:13:30.100
 the disciples

00:13:30.100 --> 00:13:30.899
 see him

00:13:30.899 --> 00:13:32.220
 walking on the sea

00:13:32.220 --> 00:13:32.899
 and they are

00:13:32.899 --> 00:13:33.820
 terrified.

00:13:34.259 --> 00:13:35.220
 You can imagine.

00:13:35.680 --> 00:13:36.399
 Put yourself

00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:37.519
 you ever seen

00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:38.539
 anybody walk on?

00:13:38.779 --> 00:13:39.300
 Of course

00:13:39.300 --> 00:13:40.440
 they were afraid.

00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:41.920
 Terrified.

00:13:42.779 --> 00:13:43.639
 Jesus says

00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:45.159
 have no fear.

00:13:45.420 --> 00:13:46.080
 It's me.

00:13:47.100 --> 00:13:48.019
 He says you can

00:13:48.019 --> 00:13:49.039
 he's saying

00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:50.080
 in so many words

00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:50.759
 is he not?

00:13:51.080 --> 00:13:52.100
 You can trust

00:13:52.100 --> 00:13:53.420
 my character.

00:13:54.019 --> 00:13:54.879
 You can trust

00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:55.720
 my confidence.

00:13:55.920 --> 00:13:56.759
 You can safely

00:13:56.759 --> 00:13:58.379
 without reservation

00:13:58.379 --> 00:13:59.740
 with no hesitation

00:13:59.740 --> 00:14:01.320
 you can place

00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:03.180
 your hands

00:14:03.180 --> 00:14:06.639
 in my hands

00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:08.060
 and your life

00:14:08.060 --> 00:14:08.680
 in mine.

00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:11.139
 You have this storm?

00:14:11.980 --> 00:14:13.820
 you have me.

00:14:14.779 --> 00:14:15.899
 Now decide

00:14:15.899 --> 00:14:18.360
 which is more powerful.

00:14:19.460 --> 00:14:19.800
 And so

00:14:19.800 --> 00:14:21.039
 Simon Peter

00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:21.920
 says all right

00:14:21.920 --> 00:14:22.300
 Lord

00:14:22.300 --> 00:14:23.960
 if it's you

00:14:23.960 --> 00:14:26.259
 then command me

00:14:26.259 --> 00:14:27.320
 to come to you

00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:27.960
 on the water.

00:14:29.100 --> 00:14:30.300
 And as we read

00:14:30.300 --> 00:14:31.100
 Jesus said

00:14:31.100 --> 00:14:32.039
 all right Peter

00:14:32.039 --> 00:14:32.759
 come on.

00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:34.920
 And now can't you

00:14:34.920 --> 00:14:35.720
 just see it?

00:14:36.440 --> 00:14:37.700
 Picture it in your mind.

00:14:37.700 --> 00:14:39.040
 as Peter

00:14:39.040 --> 00:14:40.680
 throws one leg

00:14:40.680 --> 00:14:42.280
 over the side

00:14:42.280 --> 00:14:43.840
 of the boat

00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:45.580
 and then he lifts up

00:14:45.580 --> 00:14:46.560
 the other leg

00:14:46.560 --> 00:14:47.540
 and puts it over

00:14:47.540 --> 00:14:48.720
 the side of the boat

00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:50.040
 and puts both feet

00:14:50.040 --> 00:14:51.480
 down in the water

00:14:51.480 --> 00:14:52.379
 and then

00:14:52.379 --> 00:14:54.180
 he lets go.

00:14:55.180 --> 00:14:56.040
 And he's still

00:14:56.040 --> 00:14:56.660
 standing.

00:14:56.660 --> 00:14:58.759
 And he turns

00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:00.140
 and he takes a step

00:15:00.140 --> 00:15:01.780
 toward the Lord Jesus

00:15:01.780 --> 00:15:03.100
 and then he takes

00:15:03.100 --> 00:15:04.080
 another step.

00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:06.420
 And folks

00:15:06.420 --> 00:15:08.200
 for the first time

00:15:08.200 --> 00:15:09.560
 in human history

00:15:09.560 --> 00:15:11.540
 the first time

00:15:11.540 --> 00:15:12.300
 in the history

00:15:12.300 --> 00:15:13.720
 of the human race

00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:15.100
 an ordinary

00:15:15.100 --> 00:15:16.540
 mortal man

00:15:16.540 --> 00:15:17.280
 is walking

00:15:17.280 --> 00:15:18.040
 on the water.

00:15:19.920 --> 00:15:21.660
 And for just a moment

00:15:21.660 --> 00:15:23.920
 it's Peter

00:15:23.920 --> 00:15:25.160
 and Jesus.

00:15:25.159 --> 00:15:27.319
 and then

00:15:27.319 --> 00:15:28.199
 all of a sudden

00:15:28.199 --> 00:15:29.299
 Peter realizes

00:15:29.299 --> 00:15:30.399
 what he's doing.

00:15:30.579 --> 00:15:32.279
 He sees the waves.

00:15:32.500 --> 00:15:33.519
 He feels

00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:34.339
 the sting

00:15:34.339 --> 00:15:35.159
 of the water

00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:36.559
 and his faith

00:15:36.559 --> 00:15:37.500
 gives way.

00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:38.959
 He is afraid

00:15:38.959 --> 00:15:39.879
 again

00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:41.699
 and he sinks.

00:15:42.360 --> 00:15:43.319
 Some people say

00:15:43.319 --> 00:15:44.219
 he took his eyes

00:15:44.219 --> 00:15:44.980
 off Jesus.

00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:46.139
 The Bible says

00:15:46.139 --> 00:15:47.439
 he was afraid.

00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:49.000
 He was afraid

00:15:49.000 --> 00:15:50.899
 and he sank.

00:15:51.579 --> 00:15:52.559
 So my question

00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:53.740
 for you this morning

00:15:53.740 --> 00:15:54.220
 is

00:15:54.220 --> 00:15:56.779
 well did Peter fail?

00:15:57.440 --> 00:15:58.340
 I mean really

00:15:58.340 --> 00:15:59.899
 did he fail?

00:16:00.860 --> 00:16:01.620
 This text

00:16:01.620 --> 00:16:02.440
 I believe

00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:03.920
 radically defines

00:16:03.920 --> 00:16:04.600
 failure

00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:06.259
 in the life

00:16:06.259 --> 00:16:07.100
 of a follower

00:16:07.100 --> 00:16:07.960
 of Christ.

00:16:08.180 --> 00:16:09.040
 Failure is not

00:16:09.040 --> 00:16:10.220
 so much of an event.

00:16:11.019 --> 00:16:12.019
 It is a way

00:16:12.019 --> 00:16:12.899
 that we interpret

00:16:12.899 --> 00:16:13.620
 and judge

00:16:13.620 --> 00:16:14.180
 that event.

00:16:14.259 --> 00:16:14.920
 It's a label

00:16:14.920 --> 00:16:15.660
 that we might

00:16:15.660 --> 00:16:16.480
 attach to it.

00:16:16.580 --> 00:16:17.379
 Jonah saw

00:16:17.379 --> 00:16:19.660
 I understand

00:16:19.660 --> 00:16:20.639
 attempted

00:16:20.639 --> 00:16:21.759
 200

00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:23.000
 unsuccessful

00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:24.399
 vaccines

00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:25.340
 before he

00:16:25.340 --> 00:16:25.960
 found the

00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:27.480
 vaccine

00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:28.460
 that would

00:16:28.460 --> 00:16:28.919
 take care

00:16:28.919 --> 00:16:29.620
 of polio.

00:16:31.620 --> 00:16:32.700
 Somebody asked

00:16:32.700 --> 00:16:33.220
 how did it

00:16:33.220 --> 00:16:34.419
 feel to fail

00:16:34.419 --> 00:16:35.740
 200 times

00:16:35.740 --> 00:16:36.700
 trying to

00:16:36.700 --> 00:16:37.399
 invent a

00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:38.039
 vaccine

00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:38.899
 for polio.

00:16:39.899 --> 00:16:41.100
 His response

00:16:41.100 --> 00:16:41.840
 was I've never

00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:42.720
 failed 200

00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:43.840
 times at anything

00:16:43.840 --> 00:16:44.600
 in my life.

00:16:44.700 --> 00:16:45.279
 My family

00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:45.919
 taught me

00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:46.759
 never to use

00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:47.460
 that word.

00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:48.159
 He said

00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:48.879
 I simply

00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:49.879
 discovered

00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:51.319
 200 ways

00:16:51.319 --> 00:16:51.879
 how not

00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:52.279
 to make

00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:52.860
 a vaccine

00:16:52.860 --> 00:16:53.719
 for polio.

00:16:54.819 --> 00:16:55.279
 Somebody

00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:56.019
 asked Winston

00:16:56.019 --> 00:16:56.519
 Churchill

00:16:56.519 --> 00:16:57.240
 one time

00:16:57.240 --> 00:16:57.459
 said

00:16:57.459 --> 00:16:58.059
 what most

00:16:58.059 --> 00:16:58.839
 prepared you

00:16:58.839 --> 00:16:59.259
 to lead

00:16:59.259 --> 00:16:59.919
 Great Britain

00:16:59.919 --> 00:17:00.620
 through World

00:17:00.620 --> 00:17:01.279
 War II?

00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:02.559
 As most

00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:03.159
 of you know

00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:03.839
 for a period

00:17:03.839 --> 00:17:04.399
 of time

00:17:04.399 --> 00:17:05.139
 Great Britain

00:17:05.139 --> 00:17:06.039
 stood virtually

00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:06.779
 alone

00:17:06.779 --> 00:17:07.740
 against

00:17:07.740 --> 00:17:08.779
 Nazi Germany

00:17:08.779 --> 00:17:09.779
 as it

00:17:09.779 --> 00:17:10.339
 dominated

00:17:10.339 --> 00:17:11.000
 the western

00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:11.599
 world.

00:17:12.019 --> 00:17:12.500
 Here was

00:17:12.500 --> 00:17:13.359
 Churchill's

00:17:13.359 --> 00:17:14.180
 response.

00:17:14.180 --> 00:17:15.140
 It was

00:17:15.140 --> 00:17:15.720
 the time

00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:16.660
 I repeated

00:17:16.660 --> 00:17:17.480
 the class

00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:18.120
 in grade

00:17:18.120 --> 00:17:18.680
 school

00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:19.820
 he said

00:17:19.820 --> 00:17:20.759
 and the

00:17:20.759 --> 00:17:21.460
 questioner said

00:17:21.460 --> 00:17:21.900
 you mean

00:17:21.900 --> 00:17:22.820
 you flunked

00:17:22.820 --> 00:17:23.299
 a grade?

00:17:24.299 --> 00:17:24.960
 Churchill said

00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:25.480
 well let me

00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:26.140
 just say

00:17:26.140 --> 00:17:27.580
 I was given

00:17:27.580 --> 00:17:28.120
 a second

00:17:28.120 --> 00:17:28.860
 opportunity

00:17:28.860 --> 00:17:29.620
 to get it

00:17:29.620 --> 00:17:30.060
 right

00:17:30.060 --> 00:17:30.759
 he said

00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:32.039
 yeah

00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:33.340
 did Peter

00:17:33.340 --> 00:17:33.840
 fail?

00:17:34.759 --> 00:17:35.039
 Well

00:17:35.039 --> 00:17:35.680
 yes

00:17:35.680 --> 00:17:36.360
 in one

00:17:36.360 --> 00:17:36.759
 way

00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:38.000
 he did

00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:38.460
 fail

00:17:38.460 --> 00:17:39.180
 his faith

00:17:39.180 --> 00:17:39.900
 gave way

00:17:39.900 --> 00:17:40.320
 he could

00:17:40.320 --> 00:17:41.100
 not stay

00:17:41.100 --> 00:17:41.539
 locked

00:17:41.539 --> 00:17:42.039
 in to

00:17:42.039 --> 00:17:42.500
 Jesus

00:17:42.500 --> 00:17:43.720
 he sank

00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:45.240
 he failed

00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:46.860
 his faith

00:17:46.860 --> 00:17:47.579
 gave way

00:17:47.579 --> 00:17:48.220
 I say

00:17:48.220 --> 00:17:49.799
 but now

00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:50.620
 listen to me

00:17:50.620 --> 00:17:51.640
 this morning

00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:52.240
 folks

00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:53.940
 there were

00:17:53.940 --> 00:17:54.640
 eleven

00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:55.480
 other

00:17:55.480 --> 00:17:56.299
 men

00:17:56.299 --> 00:17:58.720
 who were

00:17:58.720 --> 00:17:59.200
 bigger

00:17:59.200 --> 00:17:59.839
 failures

00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:00.519
 I would

00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:01.259
 suggest to

00:18:01.259 --> 00:18:01.680
 you in

00:18:01.680 --> 00:18:02.360
 that boat

00:18:02.360 --> 00:18:04.079
 yeah

00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:06.339
 they failed

00:18:06.339 --> 00:18:07.680
 privately

00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:09.019
 they failed

00:18:09.019 --> 00:18:09.579
 quietly

00:18:09.579 --> 00:18:11.799
 their failure

00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:13.079
 was safe

00:18:13.079 --> 00:18:14.779
 and unnoticed

00:18:14.779 --> 00:18:15.119
 and

00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:17.099
 uncriticized

00:18:17.099 --> 00:18:21.139
 only

00:18:21.139 --> 00:18:22.460
 Peter

00:18:22.460 --> 00:18:23.519
 experienced

00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:24.119
 the

00:18:24.119 --> 00:18:26.339
 shame

00:18:26.339 --> 00:18:27.079
 of public

00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:27.659
 failure

00:18:27.659 --> 00:18:29.740
 but then

00:18:29.740 --> 00:18:30.139
 only

00:18:30.139 --> 00:18:31.699
 Peter

00:18:31.699 --> 00:18:32.819
 knew the

00:18:32.819 --> 00:18:33.339
 glory

00:18:33.339 --> 00:18:34.839
 of walking

00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:35.259
 on the

00:18:35.259 --> 00:18:35.559
 water

00:18:35.559 --> 00:18:35.919
 amen

00:18:35.919 --> 00:18:37.759
 only Peter

00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:38.819
 knew the

00:18:38.819 --> 00:18:39.619
 glory of

00:18:39.619 --> 00:18:40.240
 walking on

00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:40.740
 the water

00:18:40.740 --> 00:18:42.099
 only Peter

00:18:42.099 --> 00:18:42.660
 knew in a

00:18:42.660 --> 00:18:43.120
 way that

00:18:43.120 --> 00:18:43.920
 others would

00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:44.819
 never perhaps

00:18:44.819 --> 00:18:45.339
 know that

00:18:45.339 --> 00:18:46.099
 when he sank

00:18:46.099 --> 00:18:46.940
 Jesus would

00:18:46.940 --> 00:18:47.539
 be there

00:18:47.539 --> 00:18:48.460
 he knew that

00:18:48.460 --> 00:18:49.220
 Jesus is

00:18:49.220 --> 00:18:50.059
 wholly adequate

00:18:50.059 --> 00:18:50.880
 to save

00:18:50.880 --> 00:18:51.620
 and Peter

00:18:51.620 --> 00:18:52.779
 he had a

00:18:52.779 --> 00:18:53.660
 shared moment

00:18:53.660 --> 00:18:54.519
 a connection

00:18:54.519 --> 00:18:55.339
 like nobody

00:18:55.339 --> 00:18:56.460
 else could

00:18:56.460 --> 00:18:57.460
 have and

00:18:57.460 --> 00:18:58.000
 that could

00:18:58.000 --> 00:18:58.400
 not have

00:18:58.400 --> 00:18:58.859
 happened

00:18:58.859 --> 00:18:59.759
 if he had

00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:00.380
 never thrown

00:19:00.380 --> 00:19:00.980
 that leg

00:19:00.980 --> 00:19:01.420
 over the

00:19:01.420 --> 00:19:02.019
 side of the

00:19:02.019 --> 00:19:02.299
 boat

00:19:02.299 --> 00:19:03.019
 and gotten

00:19:03.019 --> 00:19:03.620
 out on the

00:19:03.620 --> 00:19:03.940
 water

00:19:03.940 --> 00:19:05.200
 faith means

00:19:05.200 --> 00:19:05.859
 choosing

00:19:05.859 --> 00:19:06.640
 to follow

00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:07.120
 Jesus

00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:07.759
 perhaps

00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:08.079
 you're

00:19:08.079 --> 00:19:08.439
 wondering

00:19:08.439 --> 00:19:08.739
 this

00:19:08.739 --> 00:19:09.039
 morning

00:19:09.039 --> 00:19:09.439
 what it

00:19:09.439 --> 00:19:09.939
 means

00:19:09.939 --> 00:19:10.719
 to get

00:19:10.719 --> 00:19:11.099
 out of

00:19:11.099 --> 00:19:11.219
 the

00:19:11.219 --> 00:19:11.439
 boat

00:19:11.439 --> 00:19:11.799
 you say

00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:12.079
 brother

00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:12.379
 Wallace

00:19:12.379 --> 00:19:12.779
 that

00:19:12.779 --> 00:19:13.299
 sounds

00:19:13.299 --> 00:19:14.000
 exciting

00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:14.919
 I'm

00:19:14.919 --> 00:19:15.559
 all for

00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:15.699
 it

00:19:15.699 --> 00:19:16.599
 but I'm

00:19:16.599 --> 00:19:17.159
 wondering

00:19:17.159 --> 00:19:18.599
 what you

00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:18.979
 do

00:19:18.979 --> 00:19:20.019
 at the

00:19:20.019 --> 00:19:20.279
 heart

00:19:20.279 --> 00:19:20.559
 of it

00:19:20.559 --> 00:19:20.799
 I'm

00:19:20.799 --> 00:19:21.279
 convinced

00:19:21.279 --> 00:19:21.819
 is the

00:19:21.819 --> 00:19:22.259
 choice

00:19:22.259 --> 00:19:22.719
 to become

00:19:22.719 --> 00:19:23.319
 a disciple

00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:23.919
 of Christ

00:19:23.919 --> 00:19:24.239
 Jesus

00:19:24.239 --> 00:19:25.199
 the disciple

00:19:25.199 --> 00:19:26.019
 is not

00:19:26.019 --> 00:19:26.459
 simply

00:19:26.459 --> 00:19:26.859
 someone

00:19:26.859 --> 00:19:27.579
 who believes

00:19:27.579 --> 00:19:28.339
 in certain

00:19:28.339 --> 00:19:28.799
 things

00:19:28.799 --> 00:19:29.279
 so they'll

00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:29.559
 go to

00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:29.759
 heaven

00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:30.159
 when they

00:19:30.159 --> 00:19:30.539
 die

00:19:30.539 --> 00:19:31.559
 a disciple

00:19:31.559 --> 00:19:32.179
 is someone

00:19:32.179 --> 00:19:33.119
 who says

00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:33.799
 it is my

00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:34.679
 ultimately

00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:35.940
 my ultimate

00:19:35.940 --> 00:19:36.820
 goal in

00:19:36.820 --> 00:19:37.279
 life

00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:38.039
 to allow

00:19:38.039 --> 00:19:38.580
 Jesus

00:19:38.580 --> 00:19:39.740
 to live

00:19:39.740 --> 00:19:40.380
 as if he

00:19:40.380 --> 00:19:40.720
 were in

00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:41.180
 my body

00:19:41.180 --> 00:19:42.080
 it is to

00:19:42.080 --> 00:19:42.820
 live and

00:19:42.820 --> 00:19:43.279
 love

00:19:43.279 --> 00:19:44.720
 like Jesus

00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:46.580
 a non-disciple

00:19:46.580 --> 00:19:47.120
 is somebody

00:19:47.120 --> 00:19:47.900
 who has no

00:19:47.900 --> 00:19:48.560
 other goal

00:19:48.560 --> 00:19:49.580
 you're not

00:19:49.580 --> 00:19:50.340
 likely to

00:19:50.340 --> 00:19:51.160
 drift

00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:51.799
 into

00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:52.940
 discipleship

 you have

 you have

00:19:54.759 --> 00:19:55.460
 to decide

00:19:55.460 --> 00:19:57.220
 to step

00:19:57.220 --> 00:19:57.660
 out

 within

00:22:38.740 --> 00:22:39.539
 your life

00:22:39.539 --> 00:22:40.479
 and that

00:22:40.479 --> 00:22:41.119
 is the

00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:41.799
 great need

00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:42.459
 this morning

00:22:42.459 --> 00:22:43.699
 you do

00:22:43.699 --> 00:22:44.219
 need to

00:22:44.219 --> 00:22:44.699
 come out

00:22:44.699 --> 00:22:44.939
 of the

00:22:44.939 --> 00:22:45.339
 closet

00:22:45.339 --> 00:22:45.919
 so to

00:22:45.919 --> 00:22:46.279
 speak

00:22:46.279 --> 00:22:47.019
 as far

00:22:47.019 --> 00:22:47.399
 as some

00:22:47.399 --> 00:22:47.799
 of those

00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:48.319
 areas

00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:48.839
 or that

00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:49.339
 area

00:22:49.339 --> 00:22:49.859
 in your

00:22:49.859 --> 00:22:50.279
 life

00:22:50.279 --> 00:22:50.899
 in which

00:22:50.899 --> 00:22:51.459
 you need

00:22:51.459 --> 00:22:52.220
 to trust

00:22:52.220 --> 00:22:52.639
 him

00:22:52.639 --> 00:22:54.299
 and realize

00:22:54.299 --> 00:22:54.759
 as the

00:22:54.759 --> 00:22:55.439
 choir sang

00:22:55.439 --> 00:22:55.859
 it so

00:22:55.859 --> 00:22:56.199
 well

00:22:56.199 --> 00:22:56.500
 this

00:22:56.500 --> 00:22:56.859
 morning

00:22:56.859 --> 00:22:57.839
 to

00:22:57.839 --> 00:22:59.519
 recognize

00:22:59.519 --> 00:23:00.240
 that he

00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:00.699
 does

00:23:00.699 --> 00:23:01.119
 walk

00:23:01.119 --> 00:23:01.779
 on water

00:23:01.779 --> 00:23:03.919
 and that

00:23:03.919 --> 00:23:04.500
 he'll give

00:23:04.500 --> 00:23:05.159
 us the

00:23:05.159 --> 00:23:05.779
 opportunity

00:23:05.779 --> 00:23:06.500
 to do

00:23:06.500 --> 00:23:06.939
 what for

00:23:06.939 --> 00:23:07.579
 otherwise

00:23:07.579 --> 00:23:07.980
 would have

00:23:07.980 --> 00:23:08.679
 been impossible

00:23:08.679 --> 00:23:09.419
 for us

00:23:09.419 --> 00:23:10.019
 to do

00:23:10.019 --> 00:23:11.019
 except

00:23:11.019 --> 00:23:11.899
 for his

00:23:11.899 --> 00:23:12.740
 strength

00:23:12.740 --> 00:23:13.500
 his

00:23:13.500 --> 00:23:14.299
 courage

00:23:14.299 --> 00:23:14.919
 his

00:23:14.919 --> 00:23:16.159
 presence

00:23:16.159 --> 00:23:17.799
 within

00:23:17.799 --> 00:23:18.119
 our

00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:18.720
 lives

00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:19.759
 I

00:23:19.759 --> 00:23:20.480
 think

00:23:20.480 --> 00:23:20.960
 about

00:23:20.960 --> 00:23:21.599
 a

00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:22.279
 seamstress

00:23:22.279 --> 00:23:22.859
 a member

00:23:22.859 --> 00:23:23.259
 of the

00:23:23.259 --> 00:23:24.119
 Dexter Avenue

00:23:24.119 --> 00:23:24.659
 Baptist

00:23:24.659 --> 00:23:25.379
 Church

00:23:25.379 --> 00:23:26.159
 devoted

00:23:26.159 --> 00:23:26.759
 Christ

00:23:26.759 --> 00:23:27.299
 follower

00:23:27.299 --> 00:23:28.299
 who

00:23:28.299 --> 00:23:28.819
 believed

00:23:28.819 --> 00:23:29.139
 that

00:23:29.139 --> 00:23:29.659
 Jesus

00:23:29.659 --> 00:23:31.419
 had

00:23:31.419 --> 00:23:32.000
 something

00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:32.799
 to teach

00:23:32.799 --> 00:23:33.819
 a segregated

00:23:33.819 --> 00:23:34.500
 world

00:23:34.500 --> 00:23:35.639
 about love

00:23:35.639 --> 00:23:36.399
 and justice

00:23:36.399 --> 00:23:37.480
 and community

00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:38.620
 and so

00:23:38.620 --> 00:23:39.360
 one morning

00:23:39.360 --> 00:23:39.700
 in the

00:23:39.700 --> 00:23:40.240
 December

00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:40.620
 of

00:23:40.620 --> 00:23:41.680
 1955

00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:43.000
 it was

00:23:43.000 --> 00:23:43.920
 a bus

00:23:43.920 --> 00:23:44.319
 driver

00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:44.860
 told her

00:23:44.860 --> 00:23:45.440
 she must

00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:46.400
 vacate

00:23:46.400 --> 00:23:47.039
 her seat

00:23:47.039 --> 00:23:47.620
 and move

00:23:47.620 --> 00:23:47.960
 to the

00:23:47.960 --> 00:23:48.220
 back

00:23:48.220 --> 00:23:48.519
 of the

00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:48.860
 bus

00:23:48.860 --> 00:23:49.380
 because

00:23:49.380 --> 00:23:50.200
 she was

00:23:50.200 --> 00:23:50.700
 an African

00:23:50.700 --> 00:23:51.259
 American

00:23:51.259 --> 00:23:51.680
 and a

00:23:51.680 --> 00:23:51.940
 white

00:23:51.940 --> 00:23:52.400
 person

00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:52.759
 needed

00:23:52.759 --> 00:23:53.420
 the seat

00:23:53.420 --> 00:23:55.039
 and in

00:23:55.039 --> 00:23:55.360
 one of

00:23:55.360 --> 00:23:55.700
 the most

00:23:55.700 --> 00:23:56.220
 courageous

00:23:56.220 --> 00:23:57.220
 choices

00:23:57.220 --> 00:23:58.259
 of the

00:23:58.259 --> 00:23:58.860
 20th

00:23:58.860 --> 00:23:59.240
 century

00:23:59.240 --> 00:23:59.880
 she did

00:23:59.880 --> 00:24:00.740
 not move

00:24:00.740 --> 00:24:02.240
 and she

00:24:02.240 --> 00:24:02.720
 started

00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:03.559
 the revolution

00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:04.319
 the next

00:24:04.319 --> 00:24:04.700
 Monday

00:24:04.700 --> 00:24:05.220
 night

00:24:05.220 --> 00:24:07.720
 10,000

00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:08.319
 followers

00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:09.119
 of Christ

00:24:09.119 --> 00:24:09.619
 gathered

00:24:09.619 --> 00:24:10.119
 together

00:24:10.119 --> 00:24:10.539
 at her

00:24:10.539 --> 00:24:10.980
 church

00:24:10.980 --> 00:24:11.619
 to pray

00:24:11.619 --> 00:24:12.059
 and to

00:24:12.059 --> 00:24:12.799
 ask God

00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:13.599
 so now

00:24:13.599 --> 00:24:14.039
 what do

00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:14.399
 we do

00:24:14.399 --> 00:24:14.899
 next

00:24:14.899 --> 00:24:16.240
 because

00:24:16.240 --> 00:24:16.819
 of that

00:24:16.819 --> 00:24:17.220
 choice

00:24:17.220 --> 00:24:18.519
 a revolution

00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:19.200
 started

00:24:19.200 --> 00:24:19.639
 that was

00:24:19.639 --> 00:24:20.379
 not easy

00:24:20.379 --> 00:24:21.099
 it had

00:24:21.099 --> 00:24:21.579
 a high

00:24:21.579 --> 00:24:22.299
 cost

00:24:22.299 --> 00:24:23.099
 many

00:24:23.099 --> 00:24:23.379
 were

00:24:23.379 --> 00:24:23.859
 beaten

00:24:23.859 --> 00:24:24.960
 some

00:24:24.960 --> 00:24:25.159
 were

00:24:25.159 --> 00:24:25.720
 imprisoned

00:24:25.720 --> 00:24:26.099
 some

00:24:26.099 --> 00:24:26.399
 even

00:24:26.399 --> 00:24:26.940
 died

00:24:26.940 --> 00:24:27.579
 but it

00:24:27.579 --> 00:24:28.200
 changed

00:24:28.200 --> 00:24:28.440
 the

00:24:28.440 --> 00:24:28.859
 conscience

00:24:28.859 --> 00:24:29.339
 of a

00:24:29.339 --> 00:24:29.720
 nation

00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:30.179
 it

00:24:30.179 --> 00:24:30.480
 didn't

00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:30.859
 change

00:24:30.859 --> 00:24:31.000
 it

00:24:31.000 --> 00:24:31.460
 enough

00:24:31.460 --> 00:24:32.519
 but it

00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:33.039
 changed

00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:33.379
 it

00:24:33.380 --> 00:24:34.560
 all

00:24:34.560 --> 00:24:35.060
 because

00:24:35.060 --> 00:24:35.280
 a

00:24:35.280 --> 00:24:35.740
 mild

00:24:35.740 --> 00:24:36.600
 mannered

00:24:36.600 --> 00:24:37.060
 soft

00:24:37.060 --> 00:24:37.760
 spoken

00:24:37.760 --> 00:24:38.380
 Christ

00:24:38.380 --> 00:24:39.060
 follower

00:24:39.060 --> 00:24:40.540
 a

00:24:40.540 --> 00:24:41.200
 seamstress

00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:41.700
 got out

00:24:41.700 --> 00:24:41.920
 of the

00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:42.180
 boat

00:24:42.180 --> 00:24:43.620
 and that

00:24:43.620 --> 00:24:44.100
 brings us

00:24:44.100 --> 00:24:44.380
 to an

00:24:44.380 --> 00:24:44.760
 aspect

00:24:44.760 --> 00:24:44.980
 of

00:24:44.980 --> 00:24:45.880
 discipleship

00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:46.160
 that

00:24:46.160 --> 00:24:46.760
 a lot

00:24:46.760 --> 00:24:46.940
 of

00:24:46.940 --> 00:24:47.260
 people

00:24:47.260 --> 00:24:47.680
 don't

00:24:47.680 --> 00:24:48.040
 like

00:24:48.040 --> 00:24:48.420
 I

00:24:48.420 --> 00:24:48.600
 don't

00:24:48.600 --> 00:24:48.860
 like

00:24:48.860 --> 00:24:48.980
 it

00:24:48.980 --> 00:24:49.220
 much

00:24:49.220 --> 00:24:49.680
 myself

00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:50.540
 I

00:24:50.540 --> 00:24:50.880
 mean

00:24:50.880 --> 00:24:51.340
 a

00:24:51.340 --> 00:24:51.820
 commitment

00:24:51.820 --> 00:24:52.400
 to a

00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:52.740
 life

00:24:52.740 --> 00:24:52.940
 of

00:24:52.940 --> 00:24:53.380
 following

00:24:53.380 --> 00:24:54.020
 Christ

00:24:54.020 --> 00:24:55.720
 is a

00:24:55.720 --> 00:24:56.280
 commitment

00:24:56.280 --> 00:24:57.620
 to the

00:24:57.620 --> 00:24:58.340
 constant

00:24:58.340 --> 00:24:59.740
 experience

00:24:59.740 --> 00:25:00.840
 of

00:25:00.840 --> 00:25:01.400
 fear

00:25:01.400 --> 00:25:02.800
 did you

00:25:02.800 --> 00:25:03.260
 hear me

00:25:03.259 --> 00:25:03.759
 I

00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:04.259
 say

00:25:04.259 --> 00:25:05.200
 a

00:25:05.200 --> 00:25:05.680
 commitment

00:25:05.680 --> 00:25:06.220
 to a

00:25:06.220 --> 00:25:06.559
 life

00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:06.759
 of

00:25:06.759 --> 00:25:07.160
 following

00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:07.740
 Christ

00:25:07.740 --> 00:25:08.180
 is a

00:25:08.180 --> 00:25:08.559
 commitment

00:25:08.559 --> 00:25:09.099
 to a

00:25:09.099 --> 00:25:09.720
 constant

00:25:09.720 --> 00:25:11.140
 reoccurrence

00:25:11.140 --> 00:25:11.799
 of the

00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:12.579
 experience

00:25:12.579 --> 00:25:13.240
 of fear

00:25:13.240 --> 00:25:13.779
 it'll

00:25:13.779 --> 00:25:14.180
 happen

00:25:14.180 --> 00:25:14.660
 over

00:25:14.660 --> 00:25:15.460
 and over

00:25:15.460 --> 00:25:15.879
 again

00:25:15.879 --> 00:25:16.460
 Jesus

00:25:16.460 --> 00:25:17.119
 commands

00:25:17.119 --> 00:25:17.299
 the

00:25:17.299 --> 00:25:17.779
 disciples

00:25:17.779 --> 00:25:18.299
 to get

 out

00:28:32.879 --> 00:28:33.440
 afraid

 I

00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:36.200
 know

 that

00:28:36.440 --> 00:28:36.819
 feeling

 I've

00:28:38.180 --> 00:28:38.460
 stepped

00:28:38.460 --> 00:28:38.700
 out

00:28:38.700 --> 00:28:38.900
 of the

00:28:38.900 --> 00:28:39.119
 boat

00:28:39.119 --> 00:28:39.440
 a few

00:28:39.440 --> 00:28:39.920
 times

00:28:39.920 --> 00:28:40.140
 and

00:28:40.140 --> 00:28:40.379
 getting

00:28:40.379 --> 00:28:40.599
 out

00:28:40.599 --> 00:28:40.799
 of the

00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:41.039
 boat

00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:41.500
 for me

00:28:41.500 --> 00:28:41.940
 was not

00:28:41.940 --> 00:28:42.200
 just

00:28:42.200 --> 00:28:42.579
 taking

00:28:42.579 --> 00:28:42.799
 a

00:28:42.799 --> 00:28:43.220
 risk

00:28:43.220 --> 00:28:43.940
 it

00:28:43.940 --> 00:28:44.119
 was

00:28:44.119 --> 00:28:44.779
 dying

00:28:44.779 --> 00:28:45.019
 to

00:28:45.019 --> 00:28:45.259
 this

00:28:45.259 --> 00:28:45.720
 crazy

00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:46.400
 obsession

00:28:46.400 --> 00:28:47.140
 of

00:28:47.140 --> 00:28:47.440
 needing

00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:47.680
 to

00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:48.120
 appear

00:28:48.120 --> 00:28:48.880
 successful

00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:49.300
 sometimes

00:28:49.300 --> 00:28:49.940
 I wanted

00:28:49.940 --> 00:28:50.860
 to walk

00:28:50.860 --> 00:28:51.200
 on the

00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:51.540
 water

00:28:51.540 --> 00:28:52.540
 to impress

00:28:52.540 --> 00:28:53.040
 the boat

00:28:53.040 --> 00:28:53.580
 potatoes

00:28:53.580 --> 00:28:54.100
 you know

00:28:54.100 --> 00:28:55.160
 that's not

00:28:55.160 --> 00:28:56.100
 what walking

00:28:56.100 --> 00:28:56.480
 on the

00:28:56.480 --> 00:28:57.019
 water is

00:28:57.019 --> 00:28:57.340
 about

00:28:57.340 --> 00:28:57.700
 walking

00:28:57.700 --> 00:28:57.980
 on the

00:28:57.980 --> 00:28:58.380
 water is

00:28:58.380 --> 00:28:58.620
 about

00:28:58.620 --> 00:28:58.960
 coming

00:28:58.960 --> 00:28:59.280
 to the

00:28:59.280 --> 00:28:59.500
 Lord

00:28:59.500 --> 00:28:59.960
 Jesus

00:28:59.960 --> 00:29:00.519
 and if

00:29:00.519 --> 00:29:01.019
 you try

00:29:01.019 --> 00:29:01.360
 that

00:29:01.360 --> 00:29:02.200
 you very

00:29:02.200 --> 00:29:02.519
 well

00:29:02.519 --> 00:29:03.360
 may sink

00:29:03.360 --> 00:29:04.040
 but I've

00:29:04.040 --> 00:29:04.360
 got a

00:29:04.360 --> 00:29:04.680
 secret

00:29:04.680 --> 00:29:05.240
 for you

00:29:05.240 --> 00:29:07.460
 it doesn't

00:29:07.460 --> 00:29:07.860
 matter

00:29:07.860 --> 00:29:09.340
 it really

00:29:09.340 --> 00:29:10.160
 doesn't

00:29:10.160 --> 00:29:10.540
 matter

00:29:10.540 --> 00:29:11.220
 because

00:29:11.220 --> 00:29:11.780
 Jesus

00:29:11.780 --> 00:29:12.980
 is adequate

00:29:12.980 --> 00:29:14.000
 to save

00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:14.620
 sinking

00:29:14.620 --> 00:29:15.180
 people

00:29:15.180 --> 00:29:15.559
 huh

00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:16.740
 and he

00:29:16.740 --> 00:29:17.220
 does

00:29:17.220 --> 00:29:17.599
 Peter

00:29:17.599 --> 00:29:18.059
 got out

00:29:18.059 --> 00:29:18.279
 of the

00:29:18.279 --> 00:29:18.559
 boat

00:29:18.559 --> 00:29:19.680
 he noticed

00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:20.440
 that strong

00:29:20.440 --> 00:29:20.759
 wind

00:29:20.759 --> 00:29:21.240
 became

00:29:21.240 --> 00:29:21.740
 frightened

00:29:21.740 --> 00:29:22.380
 and beginning

00:29:22.380 --> 00:29:23.180
 to sink

00:29:23.180 --> 00:29:23.799
 he cried

00:29:23.799 --> 00:29:24.039
 out

00:29:24.039 --> 00:29:24.480
 what

00:29:24.480 --> 00:29:26.079
 Lord

00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:27.160
 save me

00:29:29.019 --> 00:29:30.500
 did you

00:29:30.500 --> 00:29:31.059
 notice he

00:29:31.059 --> 00:29:31.579
 didn't go

00:29:31.579 --> 00:29:33.019
 in our

00:29:33.019 --> 00:29:33.500
 heavenly

00:29:33.500 --> 00:29:34.059
 father

00:29:34.059 --> 00:29:34.779
 majestic

 above

00:29:35.299 --> 00:29:36.240
 creator

00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:37.460
 he said

00:29:37.460 --> 00:29:38.039
 Lord

00:29:38.039 --> 00:29:38.819
 save me

00:29:38.819 --> 00:29:39.240
 it was a

00:29:39.240 --> 00:29:39.900
 pretty simple

00:29:39.900 --> 00:29:40.360
 prayer

00:29:40.360 --> 00:29:40.839
 wasn't it

00:29:40.839 --> 00:29:41.480
 it was a

00:29:41.480 --> 00:29:42.019
 pretty strong

00:29:42.019 --> 00:29:42.759
 and we

00:29:42.759 --> 00:29:43.319
 become

00:29:43.319 --> 00:29:43.980
 desperate

00:29:43.980 --> 00:29:44.960
 as we

00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:45.480
 find

00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:45.900
 ourselves

00:29:45.900 --> 00:29:46.579
 in those

00:29:46.579 --> 00:29:47.160
 kind of

00:29:47.160 --> 00:29:47.880
 situations

00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:49.019
 we don't

00:29:49.019 --> 00:29:49.579
 try to

00:29:49.579 --> 00:29:50.079
 become

00:29:50.079 --> 00:29:51.120
 creative

00:29:51.120 --> 00:29:52.259
 we just

00:29:52.259 --> 00:29:52.720
 simply

00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:53.140
 want to

00:29:53.140 --> 00:29:53.500
 call

00:29:53.500 --> 00:29:54.380
 on his

00:29:54.380 --> 00:29:54.759
 name

00:29:54.759 --> 00:29:55.420
 and that's

00:29:55.420 --> 00:29:55.740
 exactly

00:29:55.740 --> 00:29:56.480
 it's a

00:29:56.480 --> 00:29:57.039
 confession

00:29:57.039 --> 00:29:57.519
 of the

00:29:57.519 --> 00:29:58.140
 lordship

00:29:58.140 --> 00:29:58.860
 of Christ

00:29:58.860 --> 00:29:59.279
 and a

00:29:59.279 --> 00:29:59.559
 plea

00:29:59.559 --> 00:29:59.779
 for

00:29:59.779 --> 00:30:00.480
 deliverance

00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:00.980
 and Jesus

00:30:00.980 --> 00:30:01.640
 immediately

00:30:01.640 --> 00:30:02.680
 reached out

00:30:02.680 --> 00:30:03.220
 his right

00:30:03.220 --> 00:30:03.599
 hand

00:30:03.599 --> 00:30:04.400
 and caught

00:30:04.400 --> 00:30:04.519
 him

00:30:04.519 --> 00:30:05.200
 the point

00:30:05.200 --> 00:30:05.660
 is not

00:30:05.660 --> 00:30:06.259
 that Jesus

00:30:06.259 --> 00:30:07.259
 will constantly

00:30:07.259 --> 00:30:08.059
 bail us

00:30:08.059 --> 00:30:08.500
 out

00:30:08.500 --> 00:30:09.839
 it is

00:30:09.839 --> 00:30:10.220
 that he

00:30:10.220 --> 00:30:10.960
 is always

00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:12.059
 ready to

00:30:12.059 --> 00:30:12.640
 respond

00:30:12.640 --> 00:30:13.120
 however

00:30:13.120 --> 00:30:14.400
 there is

00:30:14.400 --> 00:30:15.079
 no failure

00:30:15.079 --> 00:30:15.579
 that can

00:30:15.579 --> 00:30:16.740
 place you

00:30:16.740 --> 00:30:18.539
 beyond the

00:30:18.539 --> 00:30:18.980
 length of

00:30:18.980 --> 00:30:19.600
 his arm

00:30:19.600 --> 00:30:20.360
 is it

00:30:20.360 --> 00:30:21.420
 not a

00:30:21.420 --> 00:30:21.880
 thing you

00:30:21.880 --> 00:30:22.460
 could do

00:30:22.460 --> 00:30:24.400
 ah

00:30:24.400 --> 00:30:25.240
 Jesus

00:30:25.240 --> 00:30:25.860
 as he

00:30:25.860 --> 00:30:26.620
 reached out

00:30:26.620 --> 00:30:27.819
 to Simon

00:30:27.819 --> 00:30:28.579
 Peter that

00:30:28.579 --> 00:30:28.980
 night

00:30:28.980 --> 00:30:30.180
 was able to

00:30:30.180 --> 00:30:30.660
 say what

00:30:30.660 --> 00:30:31.220
 the scripture

00:30:31.220 --> 00:30:31.900
 says

00:30:31.900 --> 00:30:33.759
 casting all

00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:34.500
 of your

00:30:34.500 --> 00:30:35.440
 cares upon

00:30:35.440 --> 00:30:35.900
 him

00:30:35.900 --> 00:30:37.640
 because he

00:30:37.640 --> 00:30:38.340
 cares for

00:30:38.340 --> 00:30:38.680
 you

00:30:38.680 --> 00:30:42.000
 I wanted

00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:42.519
 to ask

00:30:42.519 --> 00:30:42.920
 you this

00:30:42.920 --> 00:30:43.299
 morning

00:30:43.299 --> 00:30:45.600
 what about

00:30:45.600 --> 00:30:46.160
 that kind

00:30:46.160 --> 00:30:46.759
 of faith

00:30:46.759 --> 00:30:47.400
 in your

00:30:47.400 --> 00:30:47.860
 life

00:30:47.860 --> 00:30:49.400
 is it

00:30:49.400 --> 00:30:50.039
 a faith

00:30:50.039 --> 00:30:53.120
 that you

00:30:53.120 --> 00:30:54.019
 recognize

00:30:54.019 --> 00:30:55.000
 requires a

00:30:55.000 --> 00:30:55.440
 risk

00:30:55.440 --> 00:30:58.080
 if it is

00:30:58.080 --> 00:30:58.660
 then it's a

00:30:58.660 --> 00:30:59.140
 risk

00:30:59.140 --> 00:31:00.380
 that will be

00:31:00.380 --> 00:31:00.920
 characterized

00:31:00.920 --> 00:31:02.380
 by fear

00:31:02.380 --> 00:31:04.060
 faith

00:31:04.060 --> 00:31:05.520
 can result

00:31:05.520 --> 00:31:05.900
 in some

00:31:05.900 --> 00:31:06.500
 remarkable

00:31:06.500 --> 00:31:07.340
 things

00:31:07.340 --> 00:31:08.480
 but we've

00:31:08.480 --> 00:31:08.880
 got to

00:31:08.880 --> 00:31:09.400
 move through

00:31:09.400 --> 00:31:10.160
 that area

00:31:10.160 --> 00:31:11.640
 of having

00:31:11.640 --> 00:31:12.700
 both a

00:31:12.700 --> 00:31:13.220
 confidence

00:31:13.220 --> 00:31:13.700
 and a

00:31:13.700 --> 00:31:14.240
 faith in

00:31:14.240 --> 00:31:14.640
 God

00:31:14.640 --> 00:31:15.740
 being willing

00:31:15.740 --> 00:31:16.500
 to take

00:31:16.500 --> 00:31:17.400
 that risk

00:31:17.400 --> 00:31:18.200
 and being

00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:18.720
 willing to

00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:19.700
 declare

00:31:19.700 --> 00:31:20.340
 ourselves

00:31:20.340 --> 00:31:20.600
 as

00:31:20.600 --> 00:31:21.260
 uncomfortable

00:31:21.260 --> 00:31:22.720
 and at

00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:23.460
 times quite

00:31:23.460 --> 00:31:24.000
 fearful

00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:25.720
 as a result

00:31:25.720 --> 00:31:26.300
 of Peter's

00:31:26.300 --> 00:31:26.840
 having gotten

00:31:26.840 --> 00:31:27.320
 out of the

00:31:27.320 --> 00:31:27.760
 boat and

00:31:27.760 --> 00:31:28.380
 as a result

00:31:28.380 --> 00:31:28.760
 of his

00:31:28.760 --> 00:31:29.480
 failure and

00:31:29.480 --> 00:31:30.240
 the redeeming

00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:31.000
 hand of

00:31:31.000 --> 00:31:31.619
 Christ that

00:31:31.619 --> 00:31:32.400
 entire boat

00:31:32.400 --> 00:31:33.180
 began to

00:31:33.180 --> 00:31:34.019
 worship Jesus

00:31:34.019 --> 00:31:35.180
 when people

00:31:35.180 --> 00:31:35.720
 get out of

00:31:35.720 --> 00:31:36.279
 the boat

00:31:36.279 --> 00:31:38.680
 when people

00:31:38.680 --> 00:31:39.339
 get out of

00:31:39.339 --> 00:31:39.799
 the boat

00:31:39.799 --> 00:31:40.640
 the power

00:31:40.640 --> 00:31:41.420
 of God

00:31:41.420 --> 00:31:42.259
 is put into

00:31:42.259 --> 00:31:43.240
 play and

00:31:43.240 --> 00:31:44.220
 some remarkable

00:31:44.220 --> 00:31:45.279
 things can

00:31:45.279 --> 00:31:45.720
 happen

00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:47.519
 I wanted to

00:31:47.519 --> 00:31:47.960
 close the

00:31:47.960 --> 00:31:48.579
 message this

00:31:48.579 --> 00:31:49.119
 morning by

00:31:49.119 --> 00:31:49.619
 telling you

00:31:49.619 --> 00:31:50.079
 about a

00:31:50.079 --> 00:31:50.559
 man by the

00:31:50.559 --> 00:31:50.940
 name of

00:31:50.940 --> 00:31:51.359
 Bob

00:31:51.359 --> 00:31:53.019
 Bob

00:31:53.019 --> 00:31:55.619
 I learned

00:31:55.619 --> 00:31:56.539
 about Bob

00:31:56.539 --> 00:31:57.420
 from a man

00:31:57.420 --> 00:31:58.039
 whose name

00:31:58.039 --> 00:31:58.700
 was Doug

00:31:58.700 --> 00:31:59.259
 Cole

00:31:59.259 --> 00:32:00.519
 he had a

00:32:00.519 --> 00:32:01.000
 ministry

00:32:01.000 --> 00:32:02.000
 in Washington

00:32:02.000 --> 00:32:02.740
 D.C.

00:32:03.480 --> 00:32:04.420
 mostly to

00:32:04.420 --> 00:32:05.059
 the political

00:32:05.059 --> 00:32:05.740
 types

00:32:05.740 --> 00:32:07.259
 Bob became

00:32:07.259 --> 00:32:07.920
 a Christian

00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:09.440
 though he

00:32:09.440 --> 00:32:10.279
 wasn't involved

00:32:10.279 --> 00:32:10.940
 in politics

00:32:10.940 --> 00:32:11.579
 as a matter

00:32:11.579 --> 00:32:11.980
 of fact

00:32:11.980 --> 00:32:13.019
 he sold

00:32:13.019 --> 00:32:13.799
 insurance

00:32:13.799 --> 00:32:15.039
 he didn't

00:32:15.039 --> 00:32:15.639
 have any

00:32:15.639 --> 00:32:16.000
 church

00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:16.619
 background

00:32:16.619 --> 00:32:17.299
 he really

00:32:17.299 --> 00:32:17.799
 didn't know

00:32:17.799 --> 00:32:18.279
 very much

00:32:18.279 --> 00:32:18.779
 at all

00:32:18.779 --> 00:32:19.379
 about

00:32:19.379 --> 00:32:20.059
 Christianity

00:32:20.059 --> 00:32:21.339
 Bob did

00:32:21.339 --> 00:32:21.680
 not

00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:22.579
 Doug was

00:32:22.579 --> 00:32:23.339
 teaching him

00:32:23.339 --> 00:32:23.779
 some of

00:32:23.779 --> 00:32:25.200
 the basics

00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:26.379
 and he

00:32:26.379 --> 00:32:27.400
 was teaching

00:32:27.400 --> 00:32:27.900
 him some

00:32:27.900 --> 00:32:28.619
 things about

00:32:28.619 --> 00:32:29.139
 prayer

00:32:29.140 --> 00:32:29.960
 Doug

00:32:29.960 --> 00:32:30.420
 told him

00:32:30.420 --> 00:32:30.980
 for instance

00:32:30.980 --> 00:32:31.680
 that Jesus

00:32:31.680 --> 00:32:32.200
 said

00:32:32.200 --> 00:32:33.400
 ask whatever

00:32:33.400 --> 00:32:34.520
 you will

00:32:34.520 --> 00:32:35.280
 in my name

00:32:35.280 --> 00:32:35.580
 and it

00:32:35.580 --> 00:32:35.960
 will be

00:32:35.960 --> 00:32:36.660
 yours

00:32:36.660 --> 00:32:38.680
 Bob was

00:32:38.680 --> 00:32:39.300
 amazed

00:32:39.300 --> 00:32:40.100
 at that

00:32:40.100 --> 00:32:41.600
 Doug told

00:32:41.600 --> 00:32:41.960
 him that

00:32:41.960 --> 00:32:42.259
 he would

00:32:42.259 --> 00:32:42.560
 have to

00:32:42.560 --> 00:32:43.160
 understand

00:32:43.160 --> 00:32:43.520
 it with

00:32:43.520 --> 00:32:44.080
 some common

00:32:44.080 --> 00:32:44.700
 sense

00:32:44.700 --> 00:32:45.700
 but Jesus

00:32:45.700 --> 00:32:46.360
 was ready

00:32:46.360 --> 00:32:47.320
 to respond

00:32:47.320 --> 00:32:50.300
 Bob decided

00:32:50.300 --> 00:32:50.840
 he wanted

00:32:50.840 --> 00:32:51.560
 to pray

00:32:51.560 --> 00:32:52.100
 for a

00:32:52.100 --> 00:32:52.380
 certain

00:32:52.380 --> 00:32:53.320
 country

00:32:53.320 --> 00:32:54.740

00:34:14.199 --> 00:34:14.740
 said yes

00:34:14.740 --> 00:34:15.420
 I would

00:34:15.420 --> 00:34:16.480
 he had

00:34:16.480 --> 00:34:17.119
 plenty of

00:34:17.119 --> 00:34:17.380
 money

00:34:17.380 --> 00:34:17.760
 and he

00:34:17.760 --> 00:34:18.099
 could do

00:34:18.099 --> 00:34:18.460
 that

00:34:18.460 --> 00:34:19.179
 so he

00:34:19.179 --> 00:34:19.800
 flew there

00:34:19.800 --> 00:34:20.159

00:34:20.840 --> 00:34:21.660
 the facility

00:34:21.660 --> 00:34:22.740
 and as

00:34:22.740 --> 00:34:23.079
 you might

00:34:23.079 --> 00:34:23.559
 imagine

 in a

00:34:23.900 --> 00:34:24.380
 third world

00:34:24.380 --> 00:34:24.920

00:34:24.920 --> 00:34:26.019
 those people

00:34:26.019 --> 00:34:26.920
 were quite

00:34:26.920 --> 00:34:27.460
 desperate

00:34:27.460 --> 00:34:27.940
 they were

00:34:27.940 --> 00:34:28.440
 short on

00:34:28.440 --> 00:34:29.039
 supplies

00:34:29.039 --> 00:34:30.160
 and medicine

00:34:30.160 --> 00:34:31.059

00:34:31.059 --> 00:34:31.620
 when Bob

00:34:31.620 --> 00:34:32.180
 came back

00:34:32.180 --> 00:34:32.559

00:34:34.180 --> 00:34:34.820
 writing

00:34:34.820 --> 00:34:35.579
 and calling

00:34:35.579 --> 00:34:36.039
 some

00:34:36.039 --> 00:34:36.620
 pharmaceutical

00:34:36.620 --> 00:34:37.280
 companies

00:34:37.280 --> 00:34:39.039
 and they

00:34:39.039 --> 00:34:39.720
 ended up

00:34:39.720 --> 00:34:40.500
 raising over

00:34:40.500 --> 00:34:41.180

00:34:50.480 --> 00:34:51.220
 invited him

00:34:51.220 --> 00:34:51.659

 relatively small

00:35:04.539 --> 00:35:05.460
 African country

00:35:05.460 --> 00:35:06.320
 and this was

00:35:06.320 --> 00:35:06.900
 the largest

00:35:06.900 --> 00:35:08.099
 medical facility

00:35:08.099 --> 00:35:09.539
 in the country

00:35:09.539 --> 00:35:10.320

 past a

00:35:21.219 --> 00:35:23.420
 prison facility

00:35:23.420 --> 00:35:24.820
 and Bob

00:35:24.820 --> 00:35:25.320
 said

00:35:25.320 --> 00:35:26.500

00:35:29.199 --> 00:35:29.659

00:35:29.659 --> 00:35:30.159

00:35:30.159 --> 00:35:30.940
 those are

00:35:30.940 --> 00:35:31.679
 political

00:35:31.679 --> 00:35:32.480

00:35:32.480 --> 00:35:34.759
 and Bob

00:35:34.759 --> 00:35:35.199

00:35:35.199 --> 00:35:35.599
 you know

00:35:35.599 --> 00:35:37.440
 that's not

00:35:37.440 --> 00:35:38.320
 a good idea

00:35:38.320 --> 00:35:38.820
 you should

00:35:38.820 --> 00:35:39.299
 let them

00:35:39.299 --> 00:35:39.699
 out

00:35:39.699 --> 00:35:41.259

00:35:45.240 --> 00:35:46.019

00:36:14.179 --> 00:36:14.599
 he had

00:36:14.599 --> 00:36:16.440
 and the

00:36:16.440 --> 00:36:16.799
 fellow from

00:36:17.559 --> 00:36:18.000

00:36:18.000 --> 00:36:18.259
 I don't

00:36:18.259 --> 00:36:18.659
 know what

00:36:18.659 --> 00:36:19.319
 you said

00:36:19.319 --> 00:36:20.940
 but they've

00:36:20.940 --> 00:36:21.679
 been released

00:36:21.679 --> 00:36:22.899
 we've been

00:36:22.899 --> 00:36:23.879
 trying in the

00:36:23.879 --> 00:36:24.539
 state department

00:36:24.539 --> 00:36:25.319
 for years

00:36:25.319 --> 00:36:26.079
 to get those

00:36:26.079 --> 00:36:26.559
 prisoners

00:36:26.559 --> 00:36:27.219
 released

00:36:27.219 --> 00:36:28.159
 and now

00:36:28.159 --> 00:36:28.579
 they've been

00:36:28.579 --> 00:36:29.039
 released

00:36:29.039 --> 00:36:29.779
 what did

00:36:29.779 --> 00:36:30.399
 you say

00:36:30.399 --> 00:36:32.919
 and Bob

00:36:32.919 --> 00:36:33.359
 said well

00:36:33.359 --> 00:36:33.960
 I told him

00:36:33.960 --> 00:36:34.440
 it was a

00:36:34.440 --> 00:36:35.179
 bad idea

00:36:35.179 --> 00:36:35.599
 to have

00:36:35.599 --> 00:36:36.059
 political

00:36:36.059 --> 00:36:36.839
 prisoners

00:36:36.840 --> 00:36:39.000
 folks

00:36:39.000 --> 00:36:39.579
 when people

00:36:39.579 --> 00:36:40.039
 get out

00:36:40.039 --> 00:36:40.300
 of the

00:36:40.300 --> 00:36:40.660
 boat

00:36:40.660 --> 00:36:41.900
 there are

00:36:41.900 --> 00:36:42.180
 some

00:36:42.180 --> 00:36:42.920
 amazing

00:36:42.920 --> 00:36:43.860
 things

00:36:43.860 --> 00:36:45.740
 that can

00:36:45.740 --> 00:36:46.140
 happen

00:36:46.140 --> 00:36:48.200
 I wonder

00:36:48.200 --> 00:36:48.680
 what would

00:36:48.680 --> 00:36:49.059
 happen

00:36:49.059 --> 00:36:50.000
 in Henrietta

00:36:50.000 --> 00:36:51.180
 and in

00:36:51.180 --> 00:36:51.860
 Clay County

00:36:51.860 --> 00:36:52.860
 and in

00:36:52.860 --> 00:36:53.420
 this part

00:36:53.420 --> 00:36:53.980
 of God's

00:36:53.980 --> 00:36:54.460
 world

00:36:54.460 --> 00:36:56.700
 if the

00:36:56.700 --> 00:36:57.340

00:36:57.640 --> 00:36:58.160
 sitting here

00:36:58.160 --> 00:36:58.880
 this morning

00:36:58.880 --> 00:37:00.360
 were to

00:37:00.360 --> 00:37:00.900
 actually

00:37:00.900 --> 00:37:02.260
 get out

00:37:02.260 --> 00:37:02.519
 of their

00:37:02.519 --> 00:37:02.900
 boat

00:37:02.900 --> 00:37:04.280
 and be

00:37:04.280 --> 00:37:04.660
 able to

00:37:04.660 --> 00:37:05.519
 give God

00:37:05.519 --> 00:37:06.660
 their

00:37:06.660 --> 00:37:07.400
 tomorrows

00:37:07.400 --> 00:37:08.420

00:37:08.760 --> 00:37:09.380
 God

00:37:09.380 --> 00:37:10.180
 their

00:37:10.180 --> 00:37:11.079
 circumstances

00:37:11.079 --> 00:37:12.500
 what if

00:37:12.500 --> 00:37:12.780
 everybody

00:37:12.780 --> 00:37:13.380
 in this

00:37:13.380 --> 00:37:13.800
 room

00:37:13.800 --> 00:37:14.119
 were to

00:37:14.119 --> 00:37:14.320
 say

00:37:14.320 --> 00:37:14.760
 Jesus

00:37:14.760 --> 00:37:15.539
 command

00:37:15.539 --> 00:37:15.920
 me

00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:17.099
 I'm

00:37:17.099 --> 00:37:17.619
 yours

00:37:17.619 --> 00:37:20.019
 can you

00:37:20.019 --> 00:37:20.460
 imagine

00:37:20.460 --> 00:37:20.960
 the kind

00:37:20.960 --> 00:37:21.680
 of power

00:37:21.680 --> 00:37:22.380
 that God

00:37:22.380 --> 00:37:23.220
 could release

00:37:23.220 --> 00:37:24.160
 in our

00:37:24.160 --> 00:37:24.800
 communities

00:37:24.800 --> 00:37:25.860
 and within

00:37:25.860 --> 00:37:26.660
 our nation

00:37:26.660 --> 00:37:27.720
 if our

00:37:27.720 --> 00:37:28.440
 people would

00:37:28.440 --> 00:37:28.920
 take him

00:37:28.920 --> 00:37:29.660
 seriously

00:37:29.660 --> 00:37:30.720
 at his

00:37:30.720 --> 00:37:31.180
 word at

00:37:31.180 --> 00:37:31.780
 this point

00:37:31.780 --> 00:37:33.000
 all

00:37:33.000 --> 00:37:33.720
 Jesus is

00:37:33.720 --> 00:37:34.320
 still looking

00:37:34.320 --> 00:37:35.080
 for people

00:37:35.080 --> 00:37:35.480
 who are

00:37:35.480 --> 00:37:36.000
 willing

00:37:36.000 --> 00:37:37.620
 to get

00:37:37.620 --> 00:37:37.900
 out of

00:37:37.900 --> 00:37:38.380
 the boat

00:37:38.380 --> 00:37:39.040
 but let me

00:37:39.040 --> 00:37:39.600
 tell you

00:37:39.600 --> 00:37:40.300
 something now

00:37:40.300 --> 00:37:40.780
 with that

00:37:40.780 --> 00:37:41.519
 if you go

00:37:41.519 --> 00:37:42.420
 you're going

00:37:42.420 --> 00:37:42.820
 to face

00:37:42.820 --> 00:37:43.420
 problems

00:37:43.420 --> 00:37:44.300
 a storm

00:37:44.300 --> 00:37:45.000
 is out

00:37:45.000 --> 00:37:45.360
 there

00:37:45.360 --> 00:37:46.340
 your faith

00:37:46.340 --> 00:37:46.880
 and mine

00:37:46.880 --> 00:37:47.660
 will not

00:37:47.660 --> 00:37:48.480
 be perfect

00:37:48.480 --> 00:37:49.240
 we'll be

00:37:49.240 --> 00:37:49.740
 afraid

00:37:49.740 --> 00:37:50.240
 and it's

00:37:50.240 --> 00:37:50.560
 very

00:37:50.560 --> 00:37:51.680
 probable

00:37:51.680 --> 00:37:53.940
 that we're

00:37:53.940 --> 00:37:54.380
 going to

00:37:54.380 --> 00:37:54.760
 sink

00:37:54.760 --> 00:37:57.040
 but I

00:37:57.040 --> 00:37:57.500
 know two

00:37:57.500 --> 00:37:58.140
 things

00:37:58.140 --> 00:37:59.560
 out of

00:37:59.560 --> 00:38:00.260
 this story

00:38:00.260 --> 00:38:03.920
 when you

00:38:03.920 --> 00:38:04.400
 fail

00:38:04.400 --> 00:38:06.800
 and sometimes

00:38:06.800 --> 00:38:07.480
 you will

00:38:07.480 --> 00:38:09.540
 the Lord

00:38:09.540 --> 00:38:10.320
 Jesus is

00:38:10.320 --> 00:38:10.880
 going to be

00:38:10.880 --> 00:38:11.340
 there to

00:38:11.340 --> 00:38:11.740
 read out

00:38:11.740 --> 00:38:12.280
 his hand

00:38:12.280 --> 00:38:12.740
 to you

00:38:12.740 --> 00:38:13.840
 and to

00:38:13.840 --> 00:38:14.240
 pick you

00:38:14.240 --> 00:38:14.540
 up

00:38:14.540 --> 00:38:16.800
 and the

00:38:16.800 --> 00:38:17.640
 second thing

00:38:17.640 --> 00:38:19.260
 that I

00:38:19.260 --> 00:38:19.680
 know

00:38:19.680 --> 00:38:22.420
 is that

00:38:22.420 --> 00:38:23.140
 every once

00:38:23.140 --> 00:38:23.780
 in a while

00:38:23.780 --> 00:38:24.400
 folks

00:38:24.400 --> 00:38:26.980
 you're going

00:38:26.980 --> 00:38:27.420
 to walk

00:38:27.420 --> 00:38:27.720
 on the

00:38:27.720 --> 00:38:28.039
 water

00:38:28.039 --> 00:38:30.300
 yeah

00:38:30.300 --> 00:38:31.960
 you're

00:38:31.960 --> 00:38:32.360
 going to

00:38:32.360 --> 00:38:32.820
 walk on

00:38:32.820 --> 00:38:33.340
 the water

00:38:33.340 --> 00:38:34.680
 for you

00:38:34.680 --> 00:38:35.220
 see when

00:38:35.220 --> 00:38:35.619
 God

00:38:35.619 --> 00:38:37.139
 made us

00:38:37.139 --> 00:38:38.519
 and saved

00:38:38.519 --> 00:38:38.920
 us

00:38:38.920 --> 00:38:40.440
 and called

00:38:40.440 --> 00:38:40.820
 us

00:38:40.820 --> 00:38:42.680
 he intended

00:38:42.680 --> 00:38:43.400
 for us to

00:38:43.400 --> 00:38:43.880
 have that

00:38:43.880 --> 00:38:44.539
 kind of an

00:38:44.539 --> 00:38:45.039
 adventure

00:38:45.039 --> 00:38:45.760
 in our

00:38:45.760 --> 00:38:46.220
 faith

00:38:46.220 --> 00:38:47.440
 this

00:38:47.440 --> 00:38:48.260
 thanksgiving

00:38:48.260 --> 00:38:48.880
 season

00:38:48.880 --> 00:38:50.220
 as we

00:38:50.220 --> 00:38:50.940
 thank him

00:38:50.940 --> 00:38:51.460
 for who

00:38:51.460 --> 00:38:52.200
 he is

00:38:52.200 --> 00:38:53.400
 and for

00:38:53.400 --> 00:38:53.800
 what he

00:38:53.800 --> 00:38:54.380
 means in

00:38:54.380 --> 00:38:55.099
 our life

00:38:55.099 --> 00:38:56.519
 for the

00:38:56.519 --> 00:38:56.739
 very

00:38:56.739 --> 00:38:57.619
 presence

00:38:57.619 --> 00:38:58.659
 that he

00:38:58.659 --> 00:38:59.179
 presents

00:38:59.179 --> 00:38:59.920
 to us

00:38:59.920 --> 00:39:03.019
 would you

00:39:03.019 --> 00:39:03.440
 have the

00:39:03.440 --> 00:39:03.860
 faith

00:39:03.860 --> 00:39:05.059
 would you

00:39:05.059 --> 00:39:05.799
 take the

00:39:05.799 --> 00:39:06.299
 risk

00:39:06.299 --> 00:39:07.319
 would you

00:39:07.319 --> 00:39:07.860
 become

00:39:07.860 --> 00:39:08.839
 uncomfortable

00:39:08.839 --> 00:39:10.099
 would you

00:39:34.500 --> 00:39:36.259

00:42:19.720 --> 00:42:20.099
 God's

00:42:20.099 --> 00:42:20.460
 children

00:42:20.460 --> 00:42:21.200
 with them

00:42:21.200 --> 00:42:22.059
 my lands

00:42:22.059 --> 00:42:22.380
 you've

00:42:22.380 --> 00:42:22.800
 moved your

00:42:22.800 --> 00:42:23.200
 furniture

00:42:23.200 --> 00:42:23.619
 and your

00:42:23.619 --> 00:42:24.000
 suitcase

00:42:24.000 --> 00:42:24.639
 and your

00:42:24.639 --> 00:42:25.079
 kids

00:42:25.079 --> 00:42:25.740
 why not

00:42:25.740 --> 00:42:26.119
 move your

00:42:26.119 --> 00:42:26.440
 letter

00:42:26.440 --> 00:42:27.400
 if God's

00:42:27.400 --> 00:42:27.980
 led you here

00:42:27.980 --> 00:42:28.380
 to first

00:42:28.380 --> 00:42:28.860
 baptist

00:42:28.860 --> 00:42:29.159
 and you

00:42:29.159 --> 00:42:29.559
 know it

00:42:29.559 --> 00:42:29.799
 you're

00:42:29.799 --> 00:42:30.219
 convinced

00:42:30.219 --> 00:42:30.639
 of it

00:42:30.639 --> 00:42:30.920
 now

00:42:30.920 --> 00:42:31.739
 don't wait

00:42:31.739 --> 00:42:32.579
 until he's

00:42:32.579 --> 00:42:32.920
 preaching

00:42:32.920 --> 00:42:33.359
 do it

00:42:33.359 --> 00:42:33.759
 today

00:42:33.759 --> 00:42:34.659
 if God's

00:42:34.659 --> 00:42:34.940
 in it

00:42:34.940 --> 00:42:35.399
 it'll be

00:42:35.399 --> 00:42:36.319
 exactly right

00:42:36.319 --> 00:42:36.739
 the thing

00:42:36.739 --> 00:42:37.079
 that you

00:42:37.079 --> 00:42:37.739
 ought to do

00:42:37.739 --> 00:42:38.519
 as the Lord

00:42:38.519 --> 00:42:39.039
 would speak

00:42:39.039 --> 00:42:39.379
 to you

00:42:39.379 --> 00:42:39.980
 this morning

00:42:39.980 --> 00:42:40.899
 you come

00:42:40.899 --> 00:42:41.199

00:42:41.199 --> 00:42:41.899
 as we sing

00:42:41.899 --> 00:42:42.279
 together

00:42:42.279 --> 00:42:42.859
