00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.320
 Welcome to Ontario Community Church, where we are encouraging, equipping, and engaging lives for Christ.

00:00:06.320 --> 00:00:14.740
! I'm Pastor Patrick Daly, and each week I share sermons that balance the grace and love of Jesus Christ with the truth of the Word of God.

00:00:15.300 --> 00:00:21.179
 Together, we'll explore Scripture using observation, interpretation, and application.

00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:26.039
 This helps us discover practical ways to live out our faith every single day.

00:00:26.460 --> 00:00:29.039
 Let's dive in together into God's Word.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:36.780
 Alright, well, good morning everyone, as we have had quite the morning. Amen?

00:00:37.780 --> 00:00:46.799
 It's really great, you know, just, I think about how just wonderful it is that God works in each and every single one of our lives.

00:00:47.379 --> 00:00:56.700
 God extends that invitation. He invites us as we've been going over this vineyard language, right,

00:00:56.700 --> 00:01:02.740
 where God is calling us to comfort and to safety and, of course, to salvation through believing in Him.

00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:12.700
 There's a lot of things that happen in our lives, and it's the question of if we are going to respond to not only God's call for salvation,

00:01:12.700 --> 00:01:14.540
 but God's call for our life.

00:01:14.540 --> 00:01:23.780
 God desires that we are to be saved and to transform us, to mold us into the men and to the women that God wants us to be.

00:01:24.540 --> 00:01:27.880
 God has a plan for each and every one of you.

00:01:28.360 --> 00:01:32.920
 The plan that God has is going to be different than the person sitting next to you.

00:01:33.380 --> 00:01:40.060
 You don't have to turn to the person next to you, but if you do, just know that God has a specific plan for them.

00:01:40.060 --> 00:01:48.960
 And so we've been going over this parabolic series, going over the teachings of Christ as He spoke in parables,

00:01:49.600 --> 00:01:56.980
 these simplistic words that have such great depth and such great weight to them.

00:01:57.520 --> 00:02:04.500
 The title of today's sermon is The Vineyard's Call, which is based off of our scripture reading that Mark read today.

00:02:04.500 --> 00:02:10.599
 But it's based specifically on Matthew chapter 21, verses 28 through 32.

00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:15.379
 You are welcome to have your Bible handy and to turn to it if you'd like to.

00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:24.280
 And I had Mark read, starting from verse 23, where the authority of Jesus is being challenged here.

00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:29.039
 And it helps us understand what in the world is going on.

00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:36.019
 Where Jesus enters into the temple and, well, He is confronted about His authority.

00:02:37.079 --> 00:02:43.859
 And instead of answering directly, Jesus challenges the religious leaders with this parable.

00:02:44.299 --> 00:02:50.979
 It's also important to note that you'll see that you have verses 28 to 32,

00:02:50.979 --> 00:02:53.759
 which is talking about the parable of the two sons,

00:02:53.759 --> 00:03:00.840
 and then the parable after that, the parable of the wicked tenants, which is what we did last Sunday.

00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:08.819
 It's important for us as we open the Word of God to understand its context, what in the world is going on.

00:03:09.219 --> 00:03:13.739
 But it's also important for us to understand the connections in there.

00:03:14.500 --> 00:03:19.479
 Where Jesus is talking about, right, the man that had two sons, right?

00:03:19.539 --> 00:03:21.639
 It says, what do you think? A man had two sons.

00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:25.699
 He went to the first and said, son, go and work in the vineyard today.

00:03:26.139 --> 00:03:27.759
 And he answered, I will not.

00:03:27.859 --> 00:03:31.839
 Well, what an answer, right?

00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:35.059
 But afterward, what happens, church?

00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:37.659
 He changes his mind.

00:03:38.379 --> 00:03:41.199
 He changes his mind and he goes into the vineyard.

00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:47.199
 After he went to the other son and said the same, he answered, I go.

00:03:47.679 --> 00:03:48.479
 But did he?

00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:50.259
 He didn't go.

00:03:50.259 --> 00:03:52.620
 Well, what happened there?

00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:55.099
 You have the first son that says, I'm not going to go.

00:03:55.219 --> 00:03:56.459
 And then he changes his mind.

00:03:56.539 --> 00:03:58.859
 And then this other guy says, well, of course I'm going to go.

00:03:59.379 --> 00:04:01.179
 How many of us had that experience before?

00:04:01.299 --> 00:04:05.019
 We had someone say they're going to show up somewhere and they don't show up.

00:04:05.340 --> 00:04:09.659
 Or maybe you can identify with the person who said they're not going to go.

00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:11.319
 And then they show up anyways.

00:04:12.399 --> 00:04:15.379
 It's a very relatable story in Scripture.

00:04:15.379 --> 00:04:22.040
 And then Jesus is going on saying, the tax collectors and the prostitutes go into the kingdom before you.

00:04:22.719 --> 00:04:26.920
 For John came to you in the way of righteousness, but you did not believe in him.

00:04:26.980 --> 00:04:32.639
 But the tax collectors and the prostitutes, that helps us understand what in the world is going on.

00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:35.699
 Now, it's important for us to understand.

00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:39.139
 You've heard me use this language of repentance.

00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:44.259
 How many of you have heard the language, you must repent and believe in the Lord, right?

00:04:45.259 --> 00:04:47.279
 You must change your mind.

00:04:47.699 --> 00:04:50.379
 Some people say you need to repent of your sins.

00:04:50.379 --> 00:04:55.399
 When we think of repentance, it's this idea of the changing of our mind.

00:04:56.420 --> 00:04:59.040
 Changing of our mind to who God is.

00:04:59.579 --> 00:05:05.339
 To repent and believe, then, is to change your mind on who the Lord is and to come to believe in him.

00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:09.019
 So it's kind of like we think of this light bulb moment.

00:05:09.819 --> 00:05:13.019
 You think of those cartoons, right, where the little light bulb goes off.

00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:13.939
 Ding, right?

00:05:14.860 --> 00:05:15.860
 And they have an idea.

00:05:15.860 --> 00:05:22.699
 Well, that's a very relatable idea of what we think of metanoia, which is to change your mind.

00:05:23.080 --> 00:05:32.720
 But what's interesting about this is that's not the word that is being used in the Greek of what's happening here.

00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:37.020
 Instead, I want to read this again to you.

00:05:37.980 --> 00:05:39.080
 Verse 29.

00:05:39.660 --> 00:05:40.840
 Well, that's verse 28.

00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:44.420
 The man said, Son, go and work in the vineyard.

00:05:44.420 --> 00:05:46.480
 He answered, I will not.

00:05:47.460 --> 00:05:51.340
 But afterwards, so right in your English, it'll say he changed his mind.

00:05:51.520 --> 00:05:54.720
 Some translations will say he repented and went.

00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:57.040
 This is not metanoia.

00:05:57.460 --> 00:05:59.300
 In fact, this is a much different word.

00:05:59.740 --> 00:06:04.220
 It is, say it with me, metamelomai.

00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:05.920
 Metamelomai.

00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:07.080
 One more time.

00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:07.939
 Metamelomai.

00:06:08.020 --> 00:06:09.740
 It's different than metanoia.

00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:12.139
 Now, what is the difference?

00:06:12.139 --> 00:06:15.560
 Isn't that the same thing that we're talking about here?

00:06:15.939 --> 00:06:21.339
 Well, it's something that is, we have to think about.

00:06:22.659 --> 00:06:23.379
 Metanoia.

00:06:23.740 --> 00:06:25.039
 The changing of mind.

00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:30.680
 This other word is talking about being filled with grief.

00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:33.800
 Being filled with sorrow.

00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:38.079
 Feeling the weight of that rejection, as it were.

00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:43.660
 That word only shows up about six to eight times in scripture.

00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:47.300
 When metanoia shows up over 30 times.

00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:49.680
 Showing the heaviness.

00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:56.800
 Some of us, we may have a background where we may be more familiar with the language of being convicted.

00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:01.160
 How many of you have heard or understand that language?

00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:08.600
 Someone that felt convicted in grief and sorrow, and they're realizing something that they're about to do, but they don't do it.

00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:12.379
 That's the changing of mind that we're talking about.

00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:14.240
 Something that's much more heavier.

00:07:14.400 --> 00:07:15.560
 Something that's much more deep.

00:07:15.840 --> 00:07:20.100
 Do you know who else had that happen, but didn't respond properly?

00:07:20.100 --> 00:07:21.100
 What's the difference?

00:07:21.100 --> 00:07:21.100


00:07:21.100 --> 00:07:22.100
 What's the difference?

00:07:22.100 --> 00:07:23.100
 What's the difference?

00:07:23.100 --> 00:07:33.100
 When he was going to exchange the 30 pieces of silver for Christ, he had that deep grief and sorrow, but yet he still did not respond.

00:07:34.280 --> 00:07:40.900
 And we have to think for ourselves, how many moments in our lives where we've had that light bulb go off?

00:07:40.899 --> 00:07:49.539
 Or how many of us, you may identify with this, having that heaviness of heart, feeling this sense of grief and sorrow.

00:07:49.679 --> 00:07:52.019
 And that's what you're seeing in this scene here.

00:07:53.259 --> 00:07:58.239
 So that conviction, a much heavier changing of mind.

00:07:59.299 --> 00:08:00.120
 I will go.

00:08:00.859 --> 00:08:01.919
 He's going to go.

00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:04.759
 He said, I'm not going to go, but he is going to go.

00:08:04.759 --> 00:08:16.740
 And so the question that Jesus was asking, which son, which of the two did the will of the father?

00:08:17.740 --> 00:08:18.060
 Right?

00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:31.120
 Well, the first Jesus said to them, truly, I say to you, then he goes on about the tax collectors, the tax collectors and the prostitutes entering the kingdom ahead of the religious leaders.

00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:41.259
 Because they realize, we have to realize the pattern that exists within scripture, specifically when we are going over parables.

00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:42.720
 Let me give you an example.

00:08:43.539 --> 00:08:50.000
 We had the parable of the wicked tenants, where there was a group that responded to the father's invitation.

00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:58.019
 The parable of the two sons, what we're going over, how one son is responding to God's call or the will of the father.

00:08:58.019 --> 00:09:01.639
 The parable of the tax collector and the Pharisee.

00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:04.439
 The tax collector, he repented.

00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:07.579
 He said, God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:11.379
 And the Pharisee, on the other hand, did not.

00:09:11.819 --> 00:09:17.620
 So it's talking about realizing and recognizing, submitting to the Lord.

00:09:18.579 --> 00:09:20.500
 Recognizing that God is all that we need.

00:09:20.539 --> 00:09:27.139
 Even when we talk about the prodigal son, talking about the forgiveness of the father being restored unto him.

00:09:28.019 --> 00:09:31.019
 The ten virgins, talking about readiness.

00:09:31.620 --> 00:09:34.799
 If you remember the ten virgins, preparing for the wedding feast.

00:09:34.919 --> 00:09:36.039
 Some of them had oil.

00:09:36.620 --> 00:09:37.580
 Some of them did not.

00:09:37.659 --> 00:09:41.559
 We start to see a pattern that is forming within the parables.

00:09:41.699 --> 00:09:49.939
 They teach us these parables, the simple truths, to move us and to respond to God's call for our lives.

00:09:49.940 --> 00:09:57.040
 If you're not a believer, it's responding to God's call for you to believe in the Lord and to be saved.

00:09:57.820 --> 00:10:03.840
 And for others, it might be, well, you might identify as a person that hasn't been to church in a while.

00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:08.800
 You might identify as someone who's gone, had a lot of heavy weight and conviction.

00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:13.740
 You might identify as someone who's just had a lot of life happen to them.

00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:15.260
 Does life happen to us?

00:10:15.259 --> 00:10:16.720
 Say yes, please.

00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:17.120
 Right?

00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:18.720
 Life happens.

00:10:19.059 --> 00:10:23.419
 There are situations that happen in our own life that is outside of our control.

00:10:24.319 --> 00:10:27.639
 We have, well, no control over it.

00:10:27.659 --> 00:10:29.439
 And it's like, well, what am I supposed to do?

00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:34.000
 It is trusting in God even when the storms of life are happening to us.

00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:41.080
 Even when people criticize or they slander your name or they come up against you.

00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:46.899
 I mean, when you think of Psalms, for example, look at all the times David has that raw sense of emotions.

00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:49.740
 Same thing with parables.

00:10:50.500 --> 00:10:56.279
 It's the call for us to respond to the Lord in salvation and return to him if you've been away,

00:10:56.460 --> 00:10:59.120
 if you've been hurt or you've been burdened by the world.

00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:02.139
 It is knowing that God provides comfort.

00:11:02.560 --> 00:11:03.740
 He provides safety.

00:11:04.100 --> 00:11:07.080
 He provides security for each and every one of us.

00:11:07.259 --> 00:11:11.820
 And it's a reminder for all of us, no matter what it is you have been through,

00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:18.039
 no matter what it is you are going through, God still extends that invitation for you to come to him.

00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:18.779
 Can I get an amen?

00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:22.019
 That's very powerful for us to know.

00:11:22.019 --> 00:11:28.840
 And so when we think of the vineyard then, do we have that image of the vineyard by chance?

00:11:30.439 --> 00:11:35.039
 We had this image for last week talking about the parable of the wicked tenants, right?

00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:39.340
 They rejected all of the messengers and they killed the son,

00:11:39.460 --> 00:11:43.799
 which was representing what happened, well, unfortunately, with the people of God.

00:11:44.779 --> 00:11:46.000
 That's the storyline.

00:11:46.779 --> 00:11:50.039
 The prophets being rejected and then the son being killed.

00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:55.319
 It's showing just in a parable what is going on in the biblical timeline.

00:11:56.240 --> 00:12:02.299
 For here, the parable of the two sons then, the vineyard is representing, just like the last one,

00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:06.519
 the covenant relationship or individual people.

00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:09.879
 In other words, you want to be in the vineyard.

00:12:10.539 --> 00:12:12.539
 How many of you guys have been in a vineyard before?

00:12:13.099 --> 00:12:15.419
 I hope that a few of us have, right?

00:12:15.620 --> 00:12:19.079
 If you haven't, go to Sonoma or go to Napa sometimes.

00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:20.840
 Go experience a vineyard.

00:12:22.060 --> 00:12:24.700
 It's a very interesting imagery that we have, right?

00:12:24.740 --> 00:12:30.680
 It's representing covenant relationship and also for us as individuals responding to God's call.

00:12:30.820 --> 00:12:34.300
 You have the wall, which is representing protection, right?

00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:36.139
 You have the tower as well.

00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:38.940
 That's a place that you want to be.

00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:41.259
 I don't know about you, but I want to be protected.

00:12:41.259 --> 00:12:45.980
 If God's calling me somewhere, I want to know that God will protect me.

00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:47.360
 And that's the truth.

00:12:47.620 --> 00:12:49.120
 God is going to protect us.

00:12:49.179 --> 00:12:50.799
 He's going to care for us as well.

00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:58.620
 And so there's a call to live and dwell with the Lord.

00:12:59.419 --> 00:13:00.279
 And that's beautiful.

00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:04.000
 So what can we learn from this parable then?

00:13:04.459 --> 00:13:06.220
 We have a few things, right?

00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:11.740
 The first thing is that conviction invites us to respond.

00:13:12.279 --> 00:13:17.819
 In this parable, we have the situation where the son says, no, thank you.

00:13:18.419 --> 00:13:19.279
 I don't want to go.

00:13:20.059 --> 00:13:22.079
 But eventually he does respond.

00:13:22.659 --> 00:13:28.620
 He later regrets met a melami and he goes to the vineyard.

00:13:28.620 --> 00:13:32.700
 And we can think for many of us, we may feel convicted.

00:13:33.340 --> 00:13:37.720
 We may feel this sense of sorrow, this sense of dread for us to respond.

00:13:38.299 --> 00:13:42.539
 If you are going through this, through a moment of grief or sorrow,

00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:46.679
 may you enter in the presence of the Lord.

00:13:46.779 --> 00:13:50.139
 May you seek God no matter what season it is you're going through.

00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:58.000
 And Jesus, well, he shows us that whether it's the changing of mind

00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:03.120
 or this sense of grief and sorrow, it's an opportunity for us to respond.

00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:04.600
 So it's an invitation.

00:14:04.779 --> 00:14:09.539
 And just as I mentioned, another time that this grief and sorrow comes up

00:14:09.539 --> 00:14:13.320
 is with the difference between Judas and this son.

00:14:14.899 --> 00:14:18.679
 Judas had that conviction, that changing of mind, that realization,

00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:20.559
 and still did not respond.

00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:26.119
 This son, on the other hand, had the changing of mind and he responded,

00:14:26.839 --> 00:14:31.059
 be like this son, if you have that moment.

00:14:32.099 --> 00:14:36.019
 And for some of us, we've had those experiences, haven't we?

00:14:36.500 --> 00:14:39.439
 For others, it might have just been the normal changing of mind,

00:14:39.539 --> 00:14:42.099
 realizing and recognizing who Christ is.

00:14:42.100 --> 00:14:47.800
 So the vineyard is by the change of heart, right?

00:14:47.940 --> 00:14:50.779
 The changing of the mind and responding to it.

00:14:51.580 --> 00:14:56.360
 The second thing then is let your words and your what agree.

00:14:57.159 --> 00:14:58.399
 Your actions.

00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:03.019
 The second son said, yes, I will go.

00:15:04.300 --> 00:15:05.340
 But did he go?

00:15:05.940 --> 00:15:06.560
 He didn't.

00:15:06.559 --> 00:15:11.639
 And so we have to think, when we are saying yes to the Lord,

00:15:12.019 --> 00:15:13.899
 we've got to embody it.

00:15:14.439 --> 00:15:17.059
 That's why I talk so much about knowing the Lord,

00:15:17.199 --> 00:15:19.119
 growing in him and doing good in his name.

00:15:19.359 --> 00:15:21.879
 You want to be able to produce fruit,

00:15:22.659 --> 00:15:25.259
 continuing to be transformed by the Lord.

00:15:25.939 --> 00:15:28.239
 Let God work in your life.

00:15:28.439 --> 00:15:31.719
 And we have to think that the words that we speak

00:15:31.719 --> 00:15:34.419
 and the actions that you don't want to be a hypocrite.

00:15:34.419 --> 00:15:38.779
 That's the thing, that's the very thing that Christ was criticizing the Pharisees for.

00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:40.719
 Calling them hypocrites.

00:15:40.819 --> 00:15:42.419
 When's the last time you've been called a hypocrite?

00:15:42.500 --> 00:15:43.339
 Do not raise your hand.

00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:44.459
 I hope that hasn't happened.

00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:45.559
 Right?

00:15:45.860 --> 00:15:46.979
 But think about that.

00:15:47.159 --> 00:15:48.679
 If you've ever been called a hypocrite,

00:15:48.719 --> 00:15:50.319
 it's not a good thing to be called,

00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:51.879
 let alone from the Lord.

00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:53.579
 I don't want to be called a hypocrite.

00:15:53.639 --> 00:15:56.679
 I want my words and my actions to match up and to be in sync.

00:15:57.139 --> 00:15:58.319
 Does that mean we're perfect?

00:15:58.439 --> 00:15:58.819
 Well, no.

00:15:59.559 --> 00:16:03.159
 But we still have to strive that our words and our actions mean the same thing.

00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:06.259
 Does your, you might have met people who said,

00:16:06.379 --> 00:16:08.299
 does your word have weight?

00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:10.379
 If you're going to commit to something,

00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:12.959
 you see to it that you follow through.

00:16:13.419 --> 00:16:14.980
 It's the same thing in here.

00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:17.620
 And it's just a great reminder for us.

00:16:17.699 --> 00:16:19.959
 That is a lesson that we can learn.

00:16:20.159 --> 00:16:22.579
 It's also like how in scripture,

00:16:22.579 --> 00:16:25.879
 when we see those times where it says,

00:16:26.139 --> 00:16:27.779
 not everyone who says to me, what?

00:16:28.439 --> 00:16:29.639
 Lord, Lord.

00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:32.679
 How many of you have read those passages?

00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:34.519
 Lord, Lord.

00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:35.580
 It's a, it's a plea.

00:16:35.779 --> 00:16:37.480
 It's, it's crying out to the Lord.

00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:40.500
 And you're like, well, what in the world's going on?

00:16:41.500 --> 00:16:42.860
 Mentioning that hypocrisy.

00:16:43.039 --> 00:16:44.179
 So saying, Lord, Lord,

00:16:44.319 --> 00:16:48.840
 you've got to have your actions and words be in alignment.

00:16:49.500 --> 00:16:53.559
 And the third thing then is that response matters more than resistance.

00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:54.980
 What in the world does that mean?

00:16:54.980 --> 00:16:59.500
 Sinners, those that do not believe in the Lord,

00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:05.140
 we are to repent, have that changing of mind,

00:17:05.140 --> 00:17:09.700
 whether it's a light bulb moment or through heavy emotions,

00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:12.039
 we are to respond.

00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:15.559
 How many of you, this is a much harder question.

00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:18.180
 Maybe you've had a light bulb moment.

00:17:18.539 --> 00:17:22.420
 Maybe you've had heavy emotions and you did not respond.

00:17:22.420 --> 00:17:25.440
 Don't, don't raise your hand.

00:17:26.140 --> 00:17:28.580
 But if you've had those moments,

00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:31.360
 how did it feel resisting God's call?

00:17:32.320 --> 00:17:36.000
 I can put myself on the line and tell you that for many years,

00:17:36.140 --> 00:17:38.440
 I resisted God's call for my life.

00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:40.900
 And there was a consequence for that.

00:17:41.580 --> 00:17:46.640
 A series of events that made me realize if I try to go against the will of God,

00:17:47.320 --> 00:17:49.820
 well, it's not going to be easy.

00:17:49.819 --> 00:17:52.519
 And some of us may identify with that.

00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:55.359
 You may actually be resisting God's call for your life.

00:17:55.859 --> 00:17:58.759
 Maybe it's time for you to examine yourself,

00:17:58.759 --> 00:18:02.379
 or maybe ask God to examine your heart.

00:18:02.639 --> 00:18:04.399
 How many of us have done that before?

00:18:05.339 --> 00:18:09.179
 Asking God to search my heart and seeing if it's pure.

00:18:10.259 --> 00:18:13.399
 Just like how David in the Psalms asked for that.

00:18:13.659 --> 00:18:15.419
 Search me, O God, and know me.

00:18:16.139 --> 00:18:18.500
 That's a heavy prayer to ask.

00:18:18.500 --> 00:18:21.000
 But thinking of our intentions.

00:18:21.900 --> 00:18:24.380
 Thinking of our heart before the Lord.

00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:26.839
 Are you resisting the Lord or you're not?

00:18:28.019 --> 00:18:29.460
 Perhaps you are resisting.

00:18:29.660 --> 00:18:33.299
 May this be a call for you to no longer resist the Lord,

00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:35.960
 but to respond to his call for you.

00:18:36.079 --> 00:18:37.380
 Whether that's salvation,

00:18:37.940 --> 00:18:39.039
 whether that's returning,

00:18:39.599 --> 00:18:41.400
 whether that's a specific thing.

00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:45.820
 It's all about whether you respond.

00:18:45.820 --> 00:18:50.700
 That's one of the many premises of the parables of Christ.

00:18:51.180 --> 00:18:53.180
 We then go into the application,

00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:54.220
 and let us remember,

00:18:54.460 --> 00:18:56.040
 I will say this every Sunday,

00:18:56.780 --> 00:19:00.800
 observation represents what in the world is going on,

00:19:00.840 --> 00:19:02.980
 because Scripture is our source.

00:19:03.120 --> 00:19:05.180
 We learn from the text.

00:19:05.180 --> 00:19:08.519
 The I is the lessons that we can learn,

00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:12.539
 and the A represents what do we do about this.

00:19:13.240 --> 00:19:15.600
 I want to remind all of us here that

00:19:15.600 --> 00:19:20.400
 we want to come to know the Lord and learn about him.

00:19:21.120 --> 00:19:23.240
 But we've got to live it out in our lives.

00:19:23.940 --> 00:19:26.420
 We've got to be ambassadors for Christ,

00:19:26.600 --> 00:19:29.960
 representing him in what we say and in what we do.

00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:31.380
 For some of us,

00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:33.580
 we may have known Christians that,

00:19:34.300 --> 00:19:36.820
 well, they tell you they're a Christian,

00:19:36.980 --> 00:19:39.040
 but maybe their lives don't reflect that.

00:19:40.120 --> 00:19:41.500
 You don't have to raise your hand,

00:19:41.560 --> 00:19:43.220
 and you don't have to tell me if you know anyone.

00:19:43.680 --> 00:19:45.259
 But I'm sure that for a lot of us,

00:19:45.259 --> 00:19:47.420
 we've seen that in our own lives,

00:19:47.500 --> 00:19:49.980
 someone that may be, well, hypocritical.

00:19:50.759 --> 00:19:52.580
 We certainly see that in the world.

00:19:53.840 --> 00:19:58.400
 Well, we have to live out the Christian faith,

00:19:58.940 --> 00:20:01.840
 embodying, putting on the new self,

00:20:02.060 --> 00:20:04.200
 living and loving like Jesus.

00:20:05.320 --> 00:20:06.720
 And so what you can do,

00:20:06.840 --> 00:20:07.900
 how you can live this out,

00:20:07.980 --> 00:20:10.380
 is to, number one, examine your heart.

00:20:11.040 --> 00:20:13.519
 Do your words match up your actions?

00:20:14.660 --> 00:20:14.920
 Right?

00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:17.840
 It's possible to say you're a Christian,

00:20:17.980 --> 00:20:18.880
 but not to live it out.

00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:21.000
 Again, that doesn't mean you have to be perfect,

00:20:21.100 --> 00:20:22.760
 and I want to make that very clear here.

00:20:23.420 --> 00:20:26.460
 But you are, you're saved by grace through faith,

00:20:26.500 --> 00:20:28.380
 and you're going to be transformed,

00:20:29.220 --> 00:20:32.500
 being continually transformed every single day.

00:20:32.500 --> 00:20:34.440
 And so,

00:20:35.119 --> 00:20:40.880
 in that, God calls for us to be people of integrity

00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:43.480
 with our words and our deeds.

00:20:44.039 --> 00:20:45.680
 And perhaps for some of us,

00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:46.880
 this is not in your notes,

00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:47.839
 like I mentioned,

00:20:47.940 --> 00:20:51.099
 you can ask God to examine your heart as well.

00:20:51.940 --> 00:20:54.039
 That's a very challenging thing,

00:20:54.099 --> 00:20:55.039
 a very heavy thing,

00:20:55.039 --> 00:20:57.420
 because God can reveal

00:20:57.420 --> 00:21:00.200
 the things that are not in alignment.

00:21:01.019 --> 00:21:03.519
 How many of you guys have gone to a chiropractor before?

00:21:04.420 --> 00:21:06.039
 My wife recently got a,

00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:07.579
 I'm putting her on the line here,

00:21:08.399 --> 00:21:10.680
 kind of a subscription thing

00:21:10.680 --> 00:21:11.879
 to get her back cracked.

00:21:12.839 --> 00:21:13.740
 And it's kind of,

00:21:13.819 --> 00:21:15.079
 you go to the chiropractor,

00:21:15.159 --> 00:21:16.399
 and you feel good after, right?

00:21:16.399 --> 00:21:17.299
 You get an adjustment.

00:21:17.299 --> 00:21:20.639
 Because you're being more in alignment.

00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:24.399
 And that's how we want to be with the Lord.

00:21:24.480 --> 00:21:25.700
 You don't want to be out of alignment.

00:21:25.940 --> 00:21:27.139
 You're like, oh, weird,

00:21:27.399 --> 00:21:29.220
 and all messed up.

00:21:29.859 --> 00:21:31.619
 Think of your spiritual back, okay?

00:21:31.779 --> 00:21:33.319
 Think of your spiritual bones,

00:21:33.419 --> 00:21:33.839
 kind of thing.

00:21:33.919 --> 00:21:35.220
 Being in alignment with the Lord.

00:21:35.279 --> 00:21:36.619
 I'm really trying to make this

00:21:36.619 --> 00:21:38.700
 match up to the real world here.

00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:41.740
 The second thing, then,

00:21:41.819 --> 00:21:45.000
 is to respond to the vineyard's call to Christ.

00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:49.319
 The call to be in the presence of the Lord.

00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:52.500
 The call to respond by believing in Him through faith.

00:21:54.140 --> 00:21:55.680
 And conviction, then,

00:21:56.079 --> 00:21:58.319
 if you've had that light bulb moment,

00:21:58.819 --> 00:21:59.839
 the changing of mind,

00:21:59.920 --> 00:22:01.779
 I realize through the study of Scripture,

00:22:01.940 --> 00:22:04.099
 I realize through being in nature,

00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:06.940
 or I realize through whatever it is,

00:22:07.259 --> 00:22:08.460
 that Jesus is Lord,

00:22:08.519 --> 00:22:09.779
 and Jesus is what I need.

00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:11.680
 That's a light bulb moment.

00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:14.000
 But for others,

00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:15.319
 it might be,

00:22:15.940 --> 00:22:17.440
 hey, I've been a thief.

00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:20.880
 I've been having an affair on my spouse.

00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:22.380
 I've been living in sin.

00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:25.359
 And God is convicting you to change your ways,

00:22:25.519 --> 00:22:27.380
 to respond to Him.

00:22:28.660 --> 00:22:29.019
 Well,

00:22:29.420 --> 00:22:31.339
 may you

00:22:31.339 --> 00:22:34.059
 respond to the vineyard's call.

00:22:35.220 --> 00:22:37.660
 Have you responded to the vineyard's call?

00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:39.220
 Only you can answer that.

00:22:39.220 --> 00:22:40.480
 And that's why,

00:22:40.799 --> 00:22:41.240
 number one,

00:22:41.380 --> 00:22:42.400
 examine your heart.

00:22:43.079 --> 00:22:43.720
 Number two,

00:22:43.839 --> 00:22:45.140
 respond accordingly.

00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:47.180
 And number three, then,

00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:49.440
 is to proclaim the gospel

00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:50.559
 to the soft

00:22:50.559 --> 00:22:51.940
 and the hardened.

00:22:53.000 --> 00:22:55.200
 Because in the world that we live in,

00:22:55.279 --> 00:22:56.600
 there are people

00:22:57.480 --> 00:22:59.440
 who have hardened hearts.

00:22:59.440 --> 00:23:02.120
 I hope we don't know anyone like that.

00:23:02.940 --> 00:23:05.039
 But we certainly may know someone

00:23:05.039 --> 00:23:06.640
 who has a hardened heart,

00:23:06.740 --> 00:23:08.200
 that sense of bitterness,

00:23:08.460 --> 00:23:09.620
 that sense of resentment

00:23:09.620 --> 00:23:10.720
 towards the Lord.

00:23:11.600 --> 00:23:12.880
 And it should certainly be

00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:14.559
 a prayer of ours

00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:16.480
 to pray for softened hearts,

00:23:16.880 --> 00:23:18.440
 to pray for transformation

00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:19.700
 for those that,

00:23:20.380 --> 00:23:20.640
 well,

00:23:20.700 --> 00:23:21.400
 they may have,

00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:23.039
 they may need God

00:23:23.039 --> 00:23:24.299
 to work in and through them.

00:23:24.299 --> 00:23:27.240
 to proclaim the gospel

00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:28.180
 to the soft,

00:23:28.259 --> 00:23:29.240
 it's those who are ready

00:23:29.240 --> 00:23:31.259
 to receive the word,

00:23:31.619 --> 00:23:33.099
 ready to receive the words

00:23:33.099 --> 00:23:34.000
 of your testimony.

00:23:34.700 --> 00:23:35.539
 Or maybe,

00:23:35.980 --> 00:23:37.539
 ready to just receive you,

00:23:37.619 --> 00:23:39.059
 as in just you showing up

00:23:39.059 --> 00:23:40.119
 and they're ready

00:23:40.119 --> 00:23:41.339
 to have a conversation.

00:23:42.639 --> 00:23:43.819
 I don't know about you,

00:23:43.919 --> 00:23:44.980
 but just as I mentioned

00:23:44.980 --> 00:23:46.720
 about not being in alignment

00:23:46.720 --> 00:23:48.639
 in a chiropractic office

00:23:48.639 --> 00:23:50.180
 and getting in alignment,

00:23:50.680 --> 00:23:51.680
 it's the same way

00:23:51.680 --> 00:23:52.500
 when we think about

00:23:52.500 --> 00:23:53.419
 a hardened heart.

00:23:54.299 --> 00:23:54.759
 How many of you

00:23:54.759 --> 00:23:56.119
 have watched The Grinch?

00:23:57.019 --> 00:23:57.240
 Yeah?

00:23:57.399 --> 00:23:58.200
 You can raise your hand

00:23:58.200 --> 00:23:59.039
 on this one for sure.

00:24:00.019 --> 00:24:00.259
 Now,

00:24:00.399 --> 00:24:01.799
 how small was his heart?

00:24:03.059 --> 00:24:03.819
 Movie trivia.

00:24:04.399 --> 00:24:05.740
 It was very smart, right?

00:24:06.059 --> 00:24:07.579
 It was three times too small?

00:24:07.879 --> 00:24:08.460
 Yeah, okay.

00:24:09.019 --> 00:24:09.980
 It was too small.

00:24:10.899 --> 00:24:11.319
 And then,

00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:13.059
 spoiler alert, right,

00:24:13.079 --> 00:24:14.099
 what happens is that

00:24:14.099 --> 00:24:15.759
 he has a bigger heart, right,

00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:17.139
 showing and representing

00:24:17.139 --> 00:24:18.500
 his ability to love.

00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:20.539
 Well, I like to think

00:24:20.539 --> 00:24:21.059
 of The Grinch

00:24:21.059 --> 00:24:21.960
 as someone who had

00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:22.759
 a hardened heart.

00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:24.920
 And maybe you might

00:24:24.920 --> 00:24:26.039
 identify with The Grinch.

00:24:26.220 --> 00:24:27.519
 Maybe you like the color green

00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:28.519
 or maybe you're actually

00:24:28.519 --> 00:24:29.099
 very bitter.

00:24:29.539 --> 00:24:30.660
 In either case,

00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:32.680
 you can still like green.

00:24:33.480 --> 00:24:34.599
 You can still like

00:24:34.599 --> 00:24:35.460
 the color green,

00:24:35.599 --> 00:24:37.059
 but I pray that

00:24:37.059 --> 00:24:38.299
 your heart,

00:24:38.379 --> 00:24:40.700
 your heart will grow

00:24:40.700 --> 00:24:42.480
 and come to know,

00:24:43.000 --> 00:24:44.319
 not only to know the Lord,

00:24:44.379 --> 00:24:45.799
 but to live and love

00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:46.480
 like the Lord.

00:24:47.079 --> 00:24:48.299
 Because let's face it,

00:24:48.299 --> 00:24:50.419
 God's love is much greater

00:24:50.419 --> 00:24:52.319
 than what we can comprehend

00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:54.519
 and what we can understand.

00:24:55.599 --> 00:24:56.019
 And so,

00:24:56.180 --> 00:24:57.379
 it's a call for us

00:24:57.379 --> 00:24:58.899
 to share in the gospel message.

00:24:59.079 --> 00:25:00.279
 It's a call for us

00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:01.720
 to love like Jesus.

00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:04.879
 And it's a call

00:25:04.879 --> 00:25:05.519
 to share

00:25:05.519 --> 00:25:07.500
 the gospel message

00:25:07.500 --> 00:25:08.279
 to the broken

00:25:08.279 --> 00:25:09.419
 and the resistant.

00:25:10.379 --> 00:25:11.279
 When you share

00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:12.279
 in the gospel message

00:25:12.279 --> 00:25:13.759
 or when you live it out

00:25:13.759 --> 00:25:14.899
 through your actions,

00:25:14.900 --> 00:25:16.620
 not everyone's

00:25:16.620 --> 00:25:17.759
 going to respond immediately.

00:25:17.960 --> 00:25:19.680
 I know that's a hard one, right?

00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:20.580
 You want people

00:25:20.580 --> 00:25:21.800
 to believe in the Lord

00:25:21.800 --> 00:25:22.740
 the moment you proclaim

00:25:22.740 --> 00:25:23.200
 the word

00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:24.120
 and it's a done deal.

00:25:24.700 --> 00:25:25.800
 But just like how

00:25:25.800 --> 00:25:27.460
 the sower scatters the seed,

00:25:28.420 --> 00:25:28.540
 right?

00:25:28.580 --> 00:25:29.420
 Just like how we

00:25:29.420 --> 00:25:30.560
 water the plant,

00:25:30.680 --> 00:25:31.320
 it is God

00:25:31.320 --> 00:25:32.140
 that will grow it.

00:25:33.259 --> 00:25:34.840
 So we continue doing

00:25:34.840 --> 00:25:36.360
 what God has called for us

00:25:36.360 --> 00:25:37.800
 by proclaiming

00:25:37.800 --> 00:25:39.440
 the gospel message

00:25:39.440 --> 00:25:40.440
 through words

00:25:40.440 --> 00:25:41.580
 and through actions.

00:25:42.460 --> 00:25:42.720
 And so,

00:25:42.840 --> 00:25:43.780
 the vineyard's call

00:25:43.779 --> 00:25:45.579
 is an invitation

00:25:45.579 --> 00:25:47.079
 for all of us

00:25:47.079 --> 00:25:48.519
 to respond to Christ.

00:25:49.240 --> 00:25:50.500
 And let us remember

00:25:50.500 --> 00:25:51.940
 that just because

00:25:51.940 --> 00:25:53.220
 you speak the words,

00:25:53.399 --> 00:25:55.000
 it must be in alignment

00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:56.339
 with the actions

00:25:56.339 --> 00:25:56.960
 that you do.

00:25:58.539 --> 00:25:59.059
 And,

00:25:59.220 --> 00:26:00.240
 let us remember

00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:01.420
 if God is convicting

00:26:01.420 --> 00:26:02.099
 your heart

00:26:02.099 --> 00:26:03.460
 or if you're having

00:26:03.460 --> 00:26:04.519
 a light bulb moment,

00:26:05.319 --> 00:26:06.539
 don't be like Judas

00:26:06.539 --> 00:26:07.799
 who did not respond

00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:09.599
 despite having

00:26:09.599 --> 00:26:10.639
 that change of mind.

00:26:11.180 --> 00:26:12.579
 He still did the action.

00:26:12.579 --> 00:26:14.240
 may you

00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:15.419
 respond

00:26:15.419 --> 00:26:16.679
 coming to know

00:26:16.679 --> 00:26:17.619
 who the Lord is

00:26:17.619 --> 00:26:18.500
 and responding

00:26:18.500 --> 00:26:19.639
 appropriately.

00:26:19.799 --> 00:26:20.579
 Does that make sense,

00:26:20.699 --> 00:26:20.939
 church?

00:26:21.500 --> 00:26:23.019
 May you understand that.

00:26:23.079 --> 00:26:24.299
 May you recognize that.

00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:25.919
 So ask yourself

00:26:25.919 --> 00:26:26.579
 the question,

00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:28.699
 will your yes

00:26:28.699 --> 00:26:30.899
 mean yes?

00:26:31.859 --> 00:26:32.879
 May you

00:26:32.879 --> 00:26:34.720
 live and love

00:26:34.720 --> 00:26:35.519
 like Jesus.

00:26:35.740 --> 00:26:37.039
 May you be transformed

00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:38.619
 and be in his presence

00:26:38.619 --> 00:26:39.079
 together.

00:26:39.079 --> 00:26:40.740
 and I hope

00:26:40.740 --> 00:26:41.460
 that you see

00:26:41.460 --> 00:26:42.500
 that these two

00:26:42.500 --> 00:26:43.480
 vineyard parables,

00:26:43.639 --> 00:26:44.279
 they piggyback

00:26:44.279 --> 00:26:44.980
 from each other.

00:26:45.619 --> 00:26:47.519
 One is on a small scale

00:26:47.519 --> 00:26:49.559
 about a person

00:26:49.559 --> 00:26:50.740
 who responded

00:26:50.740 --> 00:26:51.819
 to the vineyard's call.

00:26:52.399 --> 00:26:53.139
 And as we talked

00:26:53.139 --> 00:26:54.799
 about the wicked tenants,

00:26:55.259 --> 00:26:56.220
 a people group

00:26:56.220 --> 00:26:57.299
 who responds,

00:26:57.519 --> 00:26:59.079
 which talks about

00:26:59.079 --> 00:27:00.500
 us who respond

00:27:00.500 --> 00:27:01.299
 to the gospel.

00:27:02.019 --> 00:27:03.139
 May we respond

00:27:03.139 --> 00:27:04.079
 accordingly

00:27:04.919 --> 00:27:06.000
 to God's call.

00:27:06.079 --> 00:27:06.740
 Let's pray together.

00:27:06.740 --> 00:27:07.180
 Father,

00:27:07.180 --> 00:27:08.380
 Father,

00:27:08.460 --> 00:27:08.960
 we thank you

00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:09.779
 for this time

00:27:09.779 --> 00:27:10.559
 and this opportunity

00:27:10.559 --> 00:27:11.900
 for us to gather together

00:27:11.900 --> 00:27:13.259
 and to go over

00:27:13.259 --> 00:27:13.819
 your word.

00:27:15.420 --> 00:27:16.259
 We know there's

00:27:16.259 --> 00:27:16.880
 a lot of,

00:27:17.220 --> 00:27:18.920
 just a lot of things

00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:19.859
 that are embedded

00:27:19.859 --> 00:27:21.000
 within your word.

00:27:21.859 --> 00:27:22.519
 I pray,

00:27:22.819 --> 00:27:22.880
 Father,

00:27:23.019 --> 00:27:24.200
 that if there is

00:27:24.200 --> 00:27:25.019
 anyone who

00:27:25.019 --> 00:27:26.500
 does not know you,

00:27:26.700 --> 00:27:27.240
 may they come

00:27:27.240 --> 00:27:27.940
 to know you,

00:27:28.519 --> 00:27:29.220
 believing in the

00:27:29.220 --> 00:27:29.799
 death, burial,

00:27:29.799 --> 00:27:30.400
 and resurrection

00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:31.220
 of your son,

00:27:31.339 --> 00:27:32.120
 Jesus Christ.

00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:33.599
 I pray for those

00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:34.259
 that may have been

00:27:34.259 --> 00:27:35.299
 disenfranchised,

00:27:35.400 --> 00:27:36.519
 those that might

00:27:36.519 --> 00:27:37.079
 have been hurt,

00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:37.779
 or those that

00:27:37.779 --> 00:27:39.240
 things just happened,

00:27:39.859 --> 00:27:41.460
 to return to you.

00:27:42.859 --> 00:27:44.220
 And I pray for those

00:27:44.220 --> 00:27:45.700
 of us who know

00:27:45.700 --> 00:27:46.500
 the Lord and are

00:27:46.500 --> 00:27:46.859
 growing,

00:27:47.039 --> 00:27:48.440
 may we live it out.

00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:50.180
 May we all live it out,

00:27:50.960 --> 00:27:51.519
 knowing you,

00:27:51.819 --> 00:27:52.559
 growing in you,

00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:54.039
 and doing good

00:27:54.039 --> 00:27:55.039
 in your name.

00:27:55.500 --> 00:27:56.839
 We love you so much

00:27:56.839 --> 00:27:57.500
 and we're grateful

00:27:57.500 --> 00:27:58.740
 not only for your word,

00:27:58.839 --> 00:28:00.039
 but also for the parables,

00:28:01.039 --> 00:28:02.700
 as there's such simplicity

00:28:02.700 --> 00:28:03.319
 to them.

00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:05.220
 may we embody them,

00:28:05.700 --> 00:28:06.619
 and may we be able

00:28:06.619 --> 00:28:07.879
 to share in your word

00:28:07.879 --> 00:28:08.480
 with others,

00:28:08.639 --> 00:28:09.200
 our friends,

00:28:09.339 --> 00:28:09.879
 our families.

00:28:11.139 --> 00:28:11.639
 And Father,

00:28:12.119 --> 00:28:12.819
 if there's anyone

00:28:12.819 --> 00:28:14.759
 who is being convicted,

00:28:15.779 --> 00:28:16.720
 anyone who's had

00:28:16.720 --> 00:28:18.339
 those light bulb moments,

00:28:19.039 --> 00:28:19.839
 maybe they're going

00:28:19.839 --> 00:28:21.099
 through a time

00:28:21.099 --> 00:28:22.359
 of grief or sorrow,

00:28:22.500 --> 00:28:23.899
 realizing the weight

00:28:23.899 --> 00:28:24.700
 of their sin

00:28:24.700 --> 00:28:25.220
 or the weight

00:28:25.220 --> 00:28:26.059
 of their actions,

00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:27.379
 may they respond

00:28:27.379 --> 00:28:28.079
 accordingly.

00:28:28.439 --> 00:28:29.240
 May we all

00:28:29.240 --> 00:28:30.519
 respond accordingly

00:28:30.519 --> 00:28:31.740
 to your call

00:28:31.740 --> 00:28:32.740
 for our lives.

00:28:33.339 --> 00:28:34.099
 It is in the name

00:28:34.099 --> 00:28:35.379
 of Jesus that we pray

00:28:35.379 --> 00:28:36.359
 and we all say together,

00:28:36.440 --> 00:28:36.639
 Amen.

00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:37.720
 Amen.

00:28:39.720 --> 00:28:40.859
 Thank you for listening
