00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.140
 Please turn your Bibles to Matthew chapter 14.

00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:10.820
! Matthew chapter 14 verses 13 to 36.

00:00:10.820 --> 00:00:15.359
!

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:36.500
 We have gathered because we have trusted in your Son, Jesus Christ, as our Lord and Savior.

00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:43.659
 And we ask that in our present gathering, in this time when we hear from you in your Word,

00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:51.280
 that you would increase our faith to behold your Son, Jesus Christ, in all of His glory,

00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:55.780
 majesty, power, and love, and grace.

00:00:55.780 --> 00:01:02.060
 That you would exalt His name and that you would humble us.

00:01:03.100 --> 00:01:07.299
 That we might be more dependent and more prayerful on you as we leave from this place.

00:01:14.379 --> 00:01:18.520
 And we ask that you will amaze us afresh.

00:01:19.960 --> 00:01:25.560
 That you have given to us in Christ the bread of life.

00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:28.239
 That nourishes unto eternity.

00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:35.939
 Fill us with more of Yourself.

00:01:36.740 --> 00:01:37.379
 Your Spirit.

00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:39.159
 And with the love of Christ.

00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:44.379
 Right now, Lord, in the reading and preaching of Your Word.

00:01:45.260 --> 00:01:46.500
 In Jesus' name we pray.

00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:47.400
 Amen.

00:01:48.740 --> 00:01:49.960
 Please stand if you are able.

00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:52.500
 So that we can honor God as we read.

00:01:52.500 --> 00:01:52.540
 Amen.

00:01:55.780 --> 00:02:01.299
 Matthew 14, 13 to 36.

00:02:01.299 --> 00:02:12.759
 Now when Jesus heard this, He withdrew from there in a boat to a desolate place by Himself.

00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:17.439
 But when the crowds heard it, they followed Him on foot from the towns.

00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:24.120
 When He went ashore, He saw a great crowd, and He had compassion on them and healed their sick.

00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:29.060
 Now when it was evening, the disciples came to Him and said,

00:02:29.580 --> 00:02:32.680
 This is a desolate place, and the day is now over.

00:02:33.580 --> 00:02:37.599
 Send the crowds away to go into the villages and buy food for themselves.

00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:39.739
 But Jesus said,

00:02:40.060 --> 00:02:42.340
 They need not go away.

00:02:43.340 --> 00:02:45.019
 You give them something to eat.

00:02:46.060 --> 00:02:47.039
 They said to Him,

00:02:47.620 --> 00:02:50.000
 We have only five loaves here and two fish.

00:02:50.379 --> 00:02:51.219
 And He said,

00:02:51.659 --> 00:02:52.959
 Bring them here to Me.

00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:56.659
 Then He ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass,

00:02:56.740 --> 00:02:58.840
 and taking the five loaves and the two fish,

00:02:58.939 --> 00:03:00.840
 He looked up to heaven and said a blessing.

00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:04.360
 Then He broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples,

00:03:04.580 --> 00:03:06.539
 and the disciples gave them to the crowds.

00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:09.000
 And they all ate and were satisfied.

00:03:09.819 --> 00:03:13.860
 And they took up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces left over.

00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:17.759
 And those who ate were about five thousand men,

00:03:18.020 --> 00:03:19.360
 besides women and children.

00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:23.900
 Immediately He made the disciples get into the boat

00:03:23.900 --> 00:03:25.620
 and go before Him to the other side,

00:03:25.740 --> 00:03:26.980
 while He dismissed the crowds.

00:03:27.580 --> 00:03:29.199
 And after He had dismissed the crowds,

00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:31.280
 He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray.

00:03:32.179 --> 00:03:34.259
 When evening came, He was there alone.

00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:37.979
 But the boat by this time was a long way from the land,

00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:39.299
 beaten by the waves,

00:03:39.359 --> 00:03:41.259
 for the wind was against them.

00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:44.179
 And in the fourth watch of the night,

00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:47.079
 He came to them walking on the sea.

00:03:48.139 --> 00:03:51.179
 But when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea,

00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:52.979
 they were terrified and said,

00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:53.899
 It is a ghost.

00:03:54.819 --> 00:03:56.280
 And they cried out in fear.

00:03:57.219 --> 00:03:58.939
 But immediately Jesus spoke to them,

00:03:58.939 --> 00:03:59.319
 saying,

00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:01.280
 Take heart, it is I.

00:04:01.939 --> 00:04:03.319
 Do not be afraid.

00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:05.460
 And Peter answered Him,

00:04:05.460 --> 00:04:07.400
 Lord, if it is You,

00:04:07.939 --> 00:04:10.079
 command me to come to You on the water.

00:04:10.620 --> 00:04:11.479
 He said,

00:04:11.859 --> 00:04:12.219
 Come.

00:04:13.139 --> 00:04:14.960
 So Peter got out of the boat

00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:16.500
 and walked on the water

00:04:16.500 --> 00:04:17.620
 and came to Jesus.

00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:20.000
 But when he saw the wind,

00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:21.339
 he was afraid.

00:04:22.019 --> 00:04:23.300
 And beginning to sink,

00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:24.220
 he cried out,

00:04:24.779 --> 00:04:25.779
 Lord, save me.

00:04:25.779 --> 00:04:29.359
 Jesus immediately reached out His hand

00:04:29.359 --> 00:04:30.439
 and took hold of him,

00:04:30.559 --> 00:04:31.359
 saying to him,

00:04:31.899 --> 00:04:34.119
 O you of little faith,

00:04:34.739 --> 00:04:36.459
 why did you doubt?

00:04:37.419 --> 00:04:38.959
 And when they got into the boat,

00:04:39.299 --> 00:04:40.179
 the wind ceased.

00:04:40.799 --> 00:04:42.659
 And those in the boat worshipped Him,

00:04:42.779 --> 00:04:43.039
 saying,

00:04:43.239 --> 00:04:45.859
 Truly, you are the Son of God.

00:04:45.860 --> 00:04:49.100
 And when they had crossed over,

00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:51.520
 they came to land at Gennesaret.

00:04:52.340 --> 00:04:54.800
 And when the men of that place recognized Him,

00:04:54.840 --> 00:04:56.580
 they sent around to all that region

00:04:56.580 --> 00:04:59.139
 and brought to Him all who were sick

00:04:59.139 --> 00:05:01.000
 and implored Him

00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:03.280
 that they might only touch the fringe of His garment.

00:05:04.080 --> 00:05:07.139
 And as many as touched it were made well.

00:05:07.819 --> 00:05:09.780
 This is God's holy and authoritative word.

00:05:09.860 --> 00:05:10.439
 Please be seated.

00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:16.860
 Acts chapter 8 records

00:05:16.860 --> 00:05:18.019
 that in the first century,

00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:19.719
 there was a man named Simon.

00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:23.980
 He says that he practiced magic in the city

00:05:23.980 --> 00:05:25.740
 and amazed the people of Samaria.

00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:29.139
 And he claimed to be somebody great.

00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:32.480
 People all paid attention to what he said

00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:34.620
 and they said of him,

00:05:34.779 --> 00:05:36.740
 This man is the power of God

00:05:36.740 --> 00:05:38.060
 that is called great.

00:05:38.060 --> 00:05:41.740
 And so they called him Simon Magus.

00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:43.639
 Simon the Magician.

00:05:44.500 --> 00:05:46.040
 This is the same man who,

00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:47.740
 in Acts 8, 18-20,

00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:50.420
 was amazed by the power of the Holy Spirit

00:05:50.420 --> 00:05:51.639
 falling upon God's people

00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:53.259
 as the apostles laid hands on them,

00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:57.120
 that he sought to buy that power with money,

00:05:57.300 --> 00:05:58.600
 offer the apostles money,

00:05:58.740 --> 00:06:01.800
 give me also the ability and power to do that.

00:06:02.620 --> 00:06:04.639
 And Peter, of course, rebuked Him,

00:06:04.860 --> 00:06:05.060
 saying,

00:06:05.180 --> 00:06:06.759
 May your silver perish with you

00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:08.259
 because you thought you could obtain

00:06:08.259 --> 00:06:09.920
 the gift of God with money.

00:06:10.719 --> 00:06:13.399
 And so his name has come down in infamy now

00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:16.199
 because that practice of seeking to

00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:18.480
 or buying a sacred thing

00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:20.500
 like an office of an elder or pastor

00:06:20.500 --> 00:06:22.860
 with money is now called simony.

00:06:24.379 --> 00:06:26.420
 Later tradition says that Simon Magus

00:06:26.420 --> 00:06:28.439
 tried to prove that he is divine

00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:31.300
 by staging a flying demonstration.

00:06:31.300 --> 00:06:36.020
 But then he fell and broke his legs

00:06:36.020 --> 00:06:38.139
 and then died shortly thereafter.

00:06:39.860 --> 00:06:41.740
 This later story is told

00:06:41.740 --> 00:06:43.360
 in a sensationalized account

00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:44.620
 in an apocryphal book

00:06:44.620 --> 00:06:46.500
 that's not part of the biblical canon,

00:06:46.860 --> 00:06:48.460
 so it's possible that that never happened.

00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:49.759
 But nonetheless,

00:06:49.980 --> 00:06:51.740
 Simon Magus fits the stereotype

00:06:51.740 --> 00:06:53.139
 of many throughout history

00:06:53.139 --> 00:06:54.720
 who have claimed to be God

00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:57.379
 but were exposed later on.

00:06:57.379 --> 00:07:00.500
 There have been other powerful men

00:07:00.500 --> 00:07:01.500
 throughout history

00:07:01.500 --> 00:07:03.839
 who have claimed divine status

00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:06.439
 like Roman Emperor Domitian

00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:07.500
 in the first century AD

00:07:07.500 --> 00:07:09.699
 who told people to dress him

00:07:09.699 --> 00:07:11.459
 as Lord and God.

00:07:12.620 --> 00:07:14.180
 Or Alexander the Great

00:07:14.180 --> 00:07:15.240
 of fourth century BC

00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:17.480
 who claimed to be the son of Zeus.

00:07:18.339 --> 00:07:20.199
 But neither of these men

00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:22.959
 garnered any enduring worship

00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:24.100
 after their death.

00:07:24.100 --> 00:07:25.379
 And today,

00:07:26.140 --> 00:07:27.620
 no one claims

00:07:27.620 --> 00:07:28.920
 that these men were God

00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:31.180
 or worshiped them as such.

00:07:32.840 --> 00:07:35.080
 No magical ability,

00:07:35.580 --> 00:07:37.800
 no political authority or power,

00:07:38.379 --> 00:07:41.320
 no military dominance or charisma

00:07:41.320 --> 00:07:44.400
 could sustain these men's claims

00:07:44.400 --> 00:07:44.980
 to divinity.

00:07:46.060 --> 00:07:49.480
 How then did Jesus Christ,

00:07:50.080 --> 00:07:51.600
 whom we saw in the preceding chapter

00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:52.320
 in chapter 13

00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:54.459
 as a carpenter's son

00:07:54.459 --> 00:07:56.839
 whose mother was called Mary,

00:07:57.339 --> 00:07:59.019
 who had common ordinary brothers

00:07:59.019 --> 00:08:01.060
 in James, Joseph, and Simon, and Judas,

00:08:01.620 --> 00:08:03.040
 who hailed from a small,

00:08:03.180 --> 00:08:04.920
 unremarkable town of Nazareth

00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:06.740
 and was born of a conquered

00:08:06.740 --> 00:08:08.480
 and subjugated people, the Jews,

00:08:09.039 --> 00:08:12.319
 how did he sustain his claim

00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:13.819
 to be the son of God?

00:08:16.339 --> 00:08:17.639
 People believed him.

00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:21.180
 During his generation

00:08:21.180 --> 00:08:23.060
 and right up to our present generation,

00:08:23.939 --> 00:08:25.259
 millions upon millions,

00:08:25.879 --> 00:08:27.599
 billions upon billions

00:08:27.599 --> 00:08:29.379
 have proclaimed that Jesus

00:08:29.379 --> 00:08:31.360
 is the son of God.

00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:34.259
 If you think of it

00:08:34.259 --> 00:08:35.939
 in a historical sense,

00:08:36.039 --> 00:08:38.279
 it really is a remarkable phenomenon.

00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:41.139
 In our passage this morning,

00:08:41.419 --> 00:08:42.879
 we see Jesus' disciples

00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:44.679
 worship Jesus saying,

00:08:44.679 --> 00:08:47.959
 truly you are the son of God.

00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:50.239
 We've seen up to this point

00:08:50.239 --> 00:08:51.039
 in the Gospel of Matthew,

00:08:51.199 --> 00:08:52.139
 spiritual beings,

00:08:52.379 --> 00:08:53.359
 demons acknowledging

00:08:53.359 --> 00:08:54.659
 that Jesus is the son of God.

00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:56.819
 But we have yet to see humans

00:08:56.819 --> 00:08:58.359
 acknowledge that Jesus

00:08:58.359 --> 00:09:00.019
 is the son of God.

00:09:00.079 --> 00:09:01.099
 This is the first time.

00:09:02.439 --> 00:09:04.059
 And that acknowledgement poses

00:09:04.059 --> 00:09:05.979
 to us in the 21st century

00:09:05.979 --> 00:09:07.000
 the same question.

00:09:07.379 --> 00:09:08.659
 What say you?

00:09:09.359 --> 00:09:11.059
 What do you make of Jesus?

00:09:11.059 --> 00:09:14.039
 Who do you say that he is?

00:09:14.099 --> 00:09:15.039
 Do you believe that Jesus

00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:16.079
 is the son of God?

00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:19.239
 And on this third Sunday of Advent,

00:09:19.339 --> 00:09:20.859
 that's the main point of my sermon,

00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:22.599
 to trust in Jesus,

00:09:23.059 --> 00:09:25.519
 for he is the compassionate son of God

00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:26.679
 who saves us.

00:09:27.379 --> 00:09:28.339
 First, we're going to look at

00:09:28.339 --> 00:09:30.059
 how he is the bread in the wilderness.

00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:31.559
 And second, we're going to look at

00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:33.639
 how he is the tamer of the sea.

00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:35.839
 Verse 13 begins,

00:09:35.939 --> 00:09:37.319
 now when Jesus heard this,

00:09:37.379 --> 00:09:39.039
 he withdrew from there in a boat

00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:41.259
 to a desolate place by himself.

00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:44.199
 We took a break from Matthew last week,

00:09:44.219 --> 00:09:44.980
 so you might not remember

00:09:44.980 --> 00:09:46.919
 what it is that prompts Jesus

00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:47.939
 to remove himself

00:09:47.939 --> 00:09:49.259
 to a desolate place by himself.

00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:52.199
 But he's referring to Herod Antipas,

00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:54.500
 a beheading of John the Baptist

00:09:54.500 --> 00:09:55.879
 in the preceding passage.

00:09:56.860 --> 00:09:58.539
 Earlier in chapter 12, verse 15,

00:09:58.599 --> 00:09:59.439
 when Jesus noticed

00:09:59.439 --> 00:10:01.179
 that the Pharisees were conspiring

00:10:01.179 --> 00:10:03.259
 against him how to destroy him,

00:10:03.439 --> 00:10:04.939
 he also withdrew from there.

00:10:04.980 --> 00:10:06.819
 And we're seeing now the same pattern.

00:10:06.820 --> 00:10:09.280
 It's not yet the time for Jesus

00:10:09.280 --> 00:10:11.140
 to go to the cross and die.

00:10:11.760 --> 00:10:13.540
 It's not yet the time for Jesus

00:10:13.540 --> 00:10:16.760
 to have that overt confrontation

00:10:16.760 --> 00:10:19.060
 with the Jewish religious authorities

00:10:19.060 --> 00:10:21.180
 or with the kings of the earth.

00:10:22.300 --> 00:10:24.500
 Herod Antipas killed John the Baptist,

00:10:24.680 --> 00:10:27.160
 and now he has heard about the fame of Jesus,

00:10:27.280 --> 00:10:29.140
 he said in Matthew chapter 14, verse 1.

00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:32.420
 He fears that Jesus is John the Baptist

00:10:32.420 --> 00:10:33.520
 raised from the dead,

00:10:33.520 --> 00:10:34.640
 and he believes that's why

00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:36.659
 miraculous powers at work in him.

00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:39.860
 And so that doesn't bode well for Jesus.

00:10:41.379 --> 00:10:44.179
 Jesus avoids the overt confrontation

00:10:44.179 --> 00:10:44.980
 at this time.

00:10:45.139 --> 00:10:47.139
 He withdraws to a desolate place.

00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:50.120
 That's another translation for a desert

00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:51.639
 or the wilderness.

00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:55.220
 So it may not be the exact same place.

00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:56.860
 It's probably not the exact same place

00:10:56.860 --> 00:10:58.519
 that John the Baptist ministered in.

00:10:58.580 --> 00:10:59.779
 He ministered in the wilderness,

00:10:59.779 --> 00:11:01.439
 in a desolate place in the desert.

00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:04.720
 But the verbal parallel still hearkens

00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:06.420
 that parallel, the connection

00:11:06.420 --> 00:11:07.880
 between John the Baptist's ministry

00:11:07.880 --> 00:11:08.480
 in the wilderness

00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:10.420
 and Jesus' withdrawal now

00:11:10.420 --> 00:11:11.420
 into the wilderness.

00:11:12.540 --> 00:11:14.920
 The servants and prophets of God

00:11:14.920 --> 00:11:18.520
 are often found not in the palaces of kings,

00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:20.600
 but in the desolate wilderness.

00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:22.660
 Marginalized.

00:11:23.420 --> 00:11:23.900
 Persecuted.

00:11:24.820 --> 00:11:26.520
 So don't be surprised if in the future

00:11:26.520 --> 00:11:28.720
 you find yourself in a similar place.

00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:30.960
 But like a celebrity

00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:33.500
 who can't get away from the paparazzi,

00:11:35.019 --> 00:11:37.100
 Jesus cannot get away from the adoring crowds.

00:11:38.180 --> 00:11:39.160
 He says in verse 13,

00:11:39.220 --> 00:11:40.460
 but when the crowds heard it,

00:11:40.560 --> 00:11:43.240
 they followed him on foot from the towns.

00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:46.399
 And they must have been very fleet on foot

00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:50.379
 because they get there before Jesus does

00:11:50.379 --> 00:11:51.360
 with the boat.

00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:53.779
 He says that when he gets there in verse 14,

00:11:53.860 --> 00:11:56.259
 there's a great crowd already waiting for him there.

00:11:56.259 --> 00:12:00.340
 Imagine being in Jesus' shoes for a moment.

00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:03.659
 He has been traveling all over the place.

00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:04.759
 He's an itinerant preacher.

00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:09.799
 He's teaching and healing all over the place.

00:12:09.899 --> 00:12:10.799
 He's probably exhausted.

00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:12.220
 On top of that,

00:12:12.659 --> 00:12:14.639
 he has just heard that his friend

00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:16.879
 and forerunner, John the Baptist,

00:12:17.259 --> 00:12:18.000
 was murdered.

00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:22.779
 He wants some time away from the crowds

00:12:22.779 --> 00:12:23.519
 to be alone.

00:12:24.340 --> 00:12:26.940
 So he withdraws to a desolate place

00:12:26.940 --> 00:12:28.059
 where he can be alone.

00:12:28.700 --> 00:12:32.159
 But these unconcerned, heedless people

00:12:32.159 --> 00:12:35.700
 just will not leave him alone.

00:12:37.899 --> 00:12:40.700
 They follow him even to that desolate place.

00:12:40.700 --> 00:12:44.660
 What would you feel if you were in that situation?

00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:46.920
 Annoyance?

00:12:48.580 --> 00:12:49.100
 Frustration?

00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:51.960
 Perhaps even anger

00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:53.980
 at people's selfishness

00:12:53.980 --> 00:12:55.340
 and lack of consideration.

00:12:57.140 --> 00:12:58.800
 But that's not what we see

00:12:58.800 --> 00:13:00.759
 in this portrait of Jesus.

00:13:01.740 --> 00:13:03.980
 He says that when Jesus saw a great crowd,

00:13:04.680 --> 00:13:07.220
 he had compassion on them

00:13:07.220 --> 00:13:09.200
 and healed their sick.

00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:13.600
 When people see others in need,

00:13:13.900 --> 00:13:16.640
 they can respond with a cold indifference.

00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:17.960
 It's none of my business.

00:13:19.060 --> 00:13:21.900
 Or they can respond with presumptuous judgment.

00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:25.020
 Oh, they're needy because it's their fault.

00:13:25.560 --> 00:13:26.800
 They deserve what they got.

00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:29.860
 But a compassionate person

00:13:29.860 --> 00:13:31.480
 doesn't respond in either of those ways.

00:13:31.560 --> 00:13:33.840
 A compassionate person feels sympathy.

00:13:34.940 --> 00:13:37.700
 He feels pity for the person in need.

00:13:37.700 --> 00:13:39.920
 He desires to meet that need.

00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:43.140
 This is a wonderful attribute

00:13:43.140 --> 00:13:44.500
 of our Savior Jesus Christ

00:13:44.500 --> 00:13:46.060
 that we see over and over again

00:13:46.060 --> 00:13:47.020
 in the Gospel of Matthew.

00:13:47.980 --> 00:13:50.620
 Early in chapter 9, verses 35 to 36,

00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:52.320
 when Jesus saw the crowds

00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:54.400
 that were helpless and harassed

00:13:54.400 --> 00:13:55.500
 like sheep without a shepherd,

00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:58.480
 he says that Jesus had compassion on them.

00:13:58.560 --> 00:13:59.140
 Same word.

00:13:59.960 --> 00:14:01.740
 Later in Matthew 15, verse 32,

00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:03.759
 when Jesus sees a crowd that is hungry,

00:14:04.140 --> 00:14:06.379
 he says that they had nothing to eat.

00:14:06.379 --> 00:14:09.240
 And he says that Jesus had compassion on the crowd.

00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:11.539
 In chapter 20, verse 34,

00:14:11.700 --> 00:14:13.939
 when two blind men cry out to Jesus,

00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:15.659
 saying, please open our eyes,

00:14:15.899 --> 00:14:18.159
 it says that Jesus had compassion on them,

00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:19.639
 and therefore he healed them.

00:14:19.980 --> 00:14:22.220
 It's translated pity there in the ESV,

00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:24.019
 but it's the same exact word in the Greek.

00:14:24.019 --> 00:14:27.220
 And then in the parable of the unforgiving servant

00:14:27.220 --> 00:14:29.000
 that Jesus tells in Matthew 18,

00:14:29.439 --> 00:14:31.620
 God is represented as the master

00:14:31.620 --> 00:14:34.460
 who then has compassion on the servant

00:14:34.460 --> 00:14:37.559
 who owes him a large debt and forgives his debt.

00:14:38.259 --> 00:14:40.139
 This is what God is like.

00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:45.039
 The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God.

00:14:45.460 --> 00:14:47.319
 And that's what Jesus is like.

00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:52.100
 But because we're used to dealing with people

00:14:52.100 --> 00:14:53.600
 who are not compassionate,

00:14:54.300 --> 00:14:56.740
 who are sinful like us,

00:14:57.240 --> 00:15:01.080
 we are conditioned not to expect God and Jesus

00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:04.520
 to be compassionate as they actually are

00:15:04.520 --> 00:15:06.060
 when we are needy.

00:15:07.340 --> 00:15:10.820
 When we come to God as empty-handed beggars,

00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:13.320
 when we come to God as impoverished debtors,

00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:16.240
 debtors, when we come to God as sorry sinners,

00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:17.920
 seeking his forgiveness,

00:15:18.460 --> 00:15:21.379
 God does not scoff or scorn.

00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:23.980
 He has compassion on us.

00:15:26.420 --> 00:15:28.240
 When we acknowledge our weakness

00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:29.860
 and turn to him in prayer

00:15:29.860 --> 00:15:31.300
 and seek his power in prayer,

00:15:31.560 --> 00:15:32.800
 God does not turn away

00:15:32.800 --> 00:15:34.660
 and tells us to figure it out on our own.

00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:37.880
 When we acknowledge our sinfulness

00:15:37.880 --> 00:15:38.980
 and seek God's forgiveness,

00:15:39.160 --> 00:15:40.380
 he does not condemn us.

00:15:40.880 --> 00:15:42.280
 He has compassion on us.

00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:44.500
 And because of his compassion,

00:15:44.659 --> 00:15:46.679
 Jesus continues to interact with the crowd

00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:47.740
 and it says in verse 14

00:15:47.740 --> 00:15:49.600
 that he healed their sick.

00:15:51.439 --> 00:15:53.339
 We see Jesus doing this later

00:15:53.339 --> 00:15:55.500
 in verses 34 to 36 as well

00:15:55.500 --> 00:15:57.319
 after he has crossed over to Gennesaret.

00:15:57.419 --> 00:15:59.000
 It says that they hear of his coming

00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:00.679
 and they bring all their sick.

00:16:02.059 --> 00:16:03.959
 It's quite the welcome, right?

00:16:04.199 --> 00:16:05.259
 Bring all the sick people.

00:16:06.319 --> 00:16:07.379
 Let's go see Jesus.

00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:09.939
 And they're so eager.

00:16:09.940 --> 00:16:12.980
 They just want the sick people

00:16:12.980 --> 00:16:15.300
 to touch the fringe of his garment,

00:16:16.140 --> 00:16:20.220
 knowing that even then they will be healed.

00:16:21.640 --> 00:16:22.960
 And it did happen that way.

00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:25.340
 It's similar to what happens in Acts 19

00:16:25.340 --> 00:16:27.340
 when people touch the handkerchiefs

00:16:28.060 --> 00:16:29.840
 and aprons that Paul had touched

00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:31.400
 and then they're healed through that as well.

00:16:31.680 --> 00:16:34.140
 It seems that when God is so powerfully

00:16:34.140 --> 00:16:35.440
 at work in and through someone,

00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:38.560
 even that kind of indirect contact

00:16:38.560 --> 00:16:41.120
 can lead to extraordinary healing.

00:16:42.680 --> 00:16:44.380
 But let's return to verse 15.

00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:47.220
 As Jesus is healing and ministering to people,

00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:48.480
 the day wears away

00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:50.480
 and his disciples anticipate

00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:51.960
 a very practical problem.

00:16:52.900 --> 00:16:53.240
 He says,

00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:54.240
 Now when it was evening,

00:16:54.360 --> 00:16:55.720
 the disciples came to him and said,

00:16:55.799 --> 00:16:57.080
 This is a desolate place.

00:16:57.580 --> 00:16:58.740
 And the day is now over.

00:16:59.259 --> 00:17:00.340
 Send the crowds away

00:17:00.340 --> 00:17:01.480
 to go into the villages

00:17:01.480 --> 00:17:02.879
 and buy food for themselves.

00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:05.279
 With the sun setting,

00:17:05.759 --> 00:17:06.620
 the disciples think

00:17:06.620 --> 00:17:08.920
 Jesus has surely lost track of time.

00:17:10.460 --> 00:17:12.420
 Jesus, this is a desolate place.

00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:14.819
 There's no place to get food around here.

00:17:14.940 --> 00:17:16.220
 So before it's too late,

00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:17.380
 you better send them off

00:17:17.380 --> 00:17:19.039
 so that they can disperse into the villages

00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:20.339
 and buy food for themselves,

00:17:20.339 --> 00:17:22.500
 lest they be stranded without food

00:17:22.500 --> 00:17:23.459
 in the middle of the nowhere,

00:17:23.939 --> 00:17:24.859
 in the middle of the night.

00:17:25.699 --> 00:17:27.519
 It's a thoughtful and sensible concern.

00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:30.039
 But Jesus responds in verse 16,

00:17:30.459 --> 00:17:31.759
 They need not go away.

00:17:32.639 --> 00:17:34.599
 You give them something to eat.

00:17:36.099 --> 00:17:38.139
 The sentence structure

00:17:38.139 --> 00:17:39.559
 is actually emphatic.

00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:42.019
 So you can read it exactly the way I read it.

00:17:42.019 --> 00:17:43.439
 They need not go away.

00:17:44.019 --> 00:17:46.419
 You give them something to eat.

00:17:46.420 --> 00:17:50.380
 But the disciples object in verse 17,

00:17:50.600 --> 00:17:52.320
 We have only five loaves here

00:17:52.320 --> 00:17:53.380
 and two fish.

00:17:54.500 --> 00:17:56.360
 The meager portions of food that they have

00:17:56.360 --> 00:17:57.279
 is not quite enough

00:17:57.279 --> 00:17:59.380
 even to feed Jesus and his 12 apostles.

00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:03.240
 How can it possibly feed 5,000 men

00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:06.320
 besides the woman and the children?

00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:09.700
 In 2 Kings 4,

00:18:09.860 --> 00:18:11.680
 we see a similar situation

00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:13.019
 when prophet Elijah

00:18:13.019 --> 00:18:15.519
 needs to feed 100 men

00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:17.420
 and it says that they only had

00:18:17.420 --> 00:18:18.859
 20 loaves of barley

00:18:18.859 --> 00:18:19.980
 and fresh ears of grain.

00:18:20.319 --> 00:18:21.980
 And Elijah tells his servant,

00:18:22.379 --> 00:18:23.779
 Give to the man that they may eat.

00:18:24.359 --> 00:18:25.379
 And then the servant responds,

00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:27.519
 How can I set this

00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:29.460
 before 100 men?

00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:32.279
 20 loaves for 100 men,

00:18:32.339 --> 00:18:32.839
 not enough.

00:18:33.299 --> 00:18:35.539
 5 loaves for 5,000 men,

00:18:35.539 --> 00:18:38.279
 how can that be possibly enough?

00:18:40.460 --> 00:18:42.920
 It says specifically 5,000 men

00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:44.560
 and women and children besides.

00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:46.680
 It was common in the ancient world

00:18:46.680 --> 00:18:48.400
 to estimate the size of large crowds

00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:49.539
 by simply counting the men

00:18:49.539 --> 00:18:50.480
 and then you can guess

00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:51.660
 how many women and children

00:18:51.660 --> 00:18:52.900
 there might be in addition to that.

00:18:53.100 --> 00:18:55.080
 So conservative estimates say

00:18:55.080 --> 00:18:57.320
 that this is in the tens of thousands of people.

00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:02.320
 The math is insurmountable.

00:19:03.900 --> 00:19:04.800
 Jesus' command,

00:19:05.220 --> 00:19:06.900
 You give them something to eat,

00:19:07.460 --> 00:19:09.100
 must have sounded to the disciples

00:19:09.099 --> 00:19:10.339
 like a joke.

00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:13.980
 You're funny, Jesus.

00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:17.519
 Me?

00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:22.079
 But as they look into Jesus' eyes,

00:19:22.159 --> 00:19:22.579
 they realize,

00:19:22.740 --> 00:19:23.359
 Oh, he's serious.

00:19:25.959 --> 00:19:27.419
 And then they become incredulous.

00:19:28.279 --> 00:19:29.199
 You're kidding, right?

00:19:30.199 --> 00:19:30.819
 You're kidding.

00:19:30.819 --> 00:19:33.619
 We have one loaf of bread

00:19:33.619 --> 00:19:36.579
 for every thousand men.

00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:41.259
 How can we possibly set this out

00:19:41.259 --> 00:19:42.859
 before this great crowd?

00:19:43.799 --> 00:19:45.899
 But this is how God likes to work, isn't it?

00:19:47.679 --> 00:19:49.240
 He gives us missions

00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:52.919
 with their odds stacked against us.

00:19:53.919 --> 00:19:55.240
 In Judges 7,

00:19:55.939 --> 00:19:59.679
 God takes the 32,000 soldiers of Gideon

00:19:59.680 --> 00:20:01.720
 and then he whittles them down

00:20:01.720 --> 00:20:02.779
 and down and down

00:20:02.779 --> 00:20:04.320
 until there's 300 left

00:20:04.320 --> 00:20:05.460
 before he sends them out

00:20:05.460 --> 00:20:06.799
 in war against the Midianites.

00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:09.640
 In 1 Kings 18,

00:20:10.100 --> 00:20:11.600
 why does God send Elijah

00:20:11.600 --> 00:20:12.840
 by himself

00:20:12.840 --> 00:20:15.980
 to confront the 450 prophets of Baal?

00:20:17.640 --> 00:20:20.080
 To show that nothing can hinder

00:20:20.080 --> 00:20:21.640
 the Lord from saving,

00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:24.080
 whether by many or by few.

00:20:25.120 --> 00:20:26.360
 As God tells the Israelites

00:20:26.360 --> 00:20:27.700
 in Deuteronomy 7, 7,

00:20:27.700 --> 00:20:30.580
 it was not because you were more numerous,

00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:32.779
 more in number than any other people

00:20:32.779 --> 00:20:34.380
 that the Lord set his love on you

00:20:34.380 --> 00:20:35.100
 and chose you,

00:20:35.380 --> 00:20:37.580
 for you were the fewest of all peoples.

00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:40.240
 God didn't choose the Israelites

00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:42.019
 because they were a great enumeration.

00:20:42.120 --> 00:20:42.700
 He chose them

00:20:42.700 --> 00:20:44.240
 even though they were the fewest.

00:20:44.819 --> 00:20:47.420
 Compare that to 1 Corinthians 1, 26 to 29.

00:20:48.059 --> 00:20:49.519
 For consider your calling, brothers.

00:20:49.620 --> 00:20:51.000
 Not many of you were wise

00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:52.340
 according to worldly standards.

00:20:52.740 --> 00:20:54.080
 Not many were powerful.

00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:56.140
 Not many were of noble birth.

00:20:56.140 --> 00:20:58.820
 But God chose what is foolish in the world

00:20:58.820 --> 00:20:59.759
 to shame the wise.

00:20:59.960 --> 00:21:01.900
 God chose what is weak in the world

00:21:01.900 --> 00:21:02.860
 to shame the strong.

00:21:03.140 --> 00:21:05.780
 God chose what is low and despised in the world,

00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:07.360
 even things that are not,

00:21:07.460 --> 00:21:09.560
 to bring to nothing things that are.

00:21:10.460 --> 00:21:10.920
 Why?

00:21:11.420 --> 00:21:13.740
 So that no human being

00:21:13.740 --> 00:21:15.640
 might boast in the presence of God.

00:21:17.820 --> 00:21:20.640
 God often sends his people out

00:21:20.640 --> 00:21:24.380
 with intentional defects and deficits

00:21:24.380 --> 00:21:27.480
 so that they have no choice

00:21:27.480 --> 00:21:29.100
 but to depend on him

00:21:29.100 --> 00:21:30.940
 and so that in the end,

00:21:31.080 --> 00:21:32.580
 no human being might boast

00:21:32.580 --> 00:21:33.600
 in the presence of God.

00:21:34.540 --> 00:21:36.120
 At the end of this event,

00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:37.580
 no disciple is going to say

00:21:37.580 --> 00:21:39.840
 after feeding of the 5,000,

00:21:40.220 --> 00:21:41.240
 wow, look at me.

00:21:41.700 --> 00:21:42.640
 I really underestimated

00:21:43.220 --> 00:21:42.640
!

00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:43.240
 I really underestimated

00:21:43.240 --> 00:21:44.980
 how gifted I am at dividing bread.

00:21:44.980 --> 00:21:45.059
 But,

00:21:45.700 --> 00:21:51.880
 we are sent out with needs

00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:53.900
 that only God can fill

00:21:53.900 --> 00:21:55.680
 so that in the end,

00:21:55.799 --> 00:21:57.360
 only God receives the glory.

00:22:00.180 --> 00:22:01.039
 Do you remember

00:22:01.039 --> 00:22:02.940
 what Pastor Ed said last week

00:22:02.940 --> 00:22:03.960
 at the ordination service?

00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:07.440
 That this is what he feels like?

00:22:07.980 --> 00:22:09.099
 He feels like a disciple

00:22:09.099 --> 00:22:10.339
 with five loaves

00:22:10.339 --> 00:22:12.039
 and two fish in his hand

00:22:12.039 --> 00:22:13.819
 being commanded to feed a multitude.

00:22:13.819 --> 00:22:16.579
 His resources and abilities

00:22:16.579 --> 00:22:18.299
 like that of any other pastor,

00:22:18.980 --> 00:22:20.679
 it's meager compared

00:22:20.679 --> 00:22:22.460
 to the great task before him.

00:22:23.279 --> 00:22:25.599
 But that deficit is intentional.

00:22:28.460 --> 00:22:29.099
 Likewise,

00:22:29.619 --> 00:22:30.939
 when some of you return

00:22:30.939 --> 00:22:32.740
 to your unbelieving family members

00:22:32.740 --> 00:22:33.379
 this Christmas,

00:22:34.259 --> 00:22:35.700
 wondering how you're going

00:22:35.700 --> 00:22:37.519
 to bear witness to Jesus

00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:38.519
 and share the good news

00:22:38.519 --> 00:22:40.319
 of Jesus Christ with them,

00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:42.639
 and feeling inadequate,

00:22:42.640 --> 00:22:45.720
 remember that the deficit

00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:46.720
 is intentional.

00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:49.800
 It is an invitation

00:22:49.800 --> 00:22:51.300
 to come to Jesus

00:22:51.300 --> 00:22:52.440
 in your weakness

00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:53.820
 and in need

00:22:53.820 --> 00:22:55.080
 and to plead

00:22:55.080 --> 00:22:56.660
 for his help and power.

00:22:58.360 --> 00:22:59.560
 Look at what Jesus says

00:22:59.560 --> 00:23:00.240
 in verse 18.

00:23:00.660 --> 00:23:01.700
 Bring them here

00:23:01.700 --> 00:23:02.620
 to me.

00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:05.000
 Jesus doesn't say,

00:23:05.259 --> 00:23:05.440
 okay,

00:23:06.160 --> 00:23:06.780
 send them out

00:23:06.780 --> 00:23:07.320
 into the villages

00:23:07.320 --> 00:23:07.920
 in that case

00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:08.500
 so that they can buy

00:23:08.500 --> 00:23:09.200
 bread for themselves.

00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:11.480
 There are many shops

00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:12.420
 not far from here

00:23:12.420 --> 00:23:13.140
 so go quickly

00:23:13.140 --> 00:23:14.059
 and buy more bread

00:23:14.059 --> 00:23:14.519
 for the crowd

00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:15.160
 and come back.

00:23:16.120 --> 00:23:16.360
 No,

00:23:16.460 --> 00:23:17.980
 Jesus does not expect

00:23:17.980 --> 00:23:18.420
 the crowd

00:23:18.420 --> 00:23:19.319
 to feed themselves

00:23:19.319 --> 00:23:21.160
 nor does he expect

00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:21.779
 his disciples

00:23:21.779 --> 00:23:23.559
 to rely on their own resources

00:23:23.559 --> 00:23:25.140
 and their own resourcefulness.

00:23:25.920 --> 00:23:26.019
 No,

00:23:26.080 --> 00:23:27.140
 he invites them

00:23:27.140 --> 00:23:28.080
 to depend on him.

00:23:28.220 --> 00:23:29.500
 Bring them to me.

00:23:30.779 --> 00:23:31.779
 Bring those loaves

00:23:31.779 --> 00:23:32.279
 to me.

00:23:32.279 --> 00:23:38.299
 As the hymn famously says,

00:23:38.399 --> 00:23:39.059
 what a friend

00:23:39.059 --> 00:23:40.079
 we have in Jesus.

00:23:40.639 --> 00:23:41.660
 All our sins

00:23:41.660 --> 00:23:42.680
 and griefs to bear.

00:23:43.220 --> 00:23:44.099
 What a privilege

00:23:44.099 --> 00:23:44.700
 to carry

00:23:44.700 --> 00:23:46.259
 everything to God

00:23:46.259 --> 00:23:46.680
 in prayer.

00:23:47.599 --> 00:23:48.399
 Are we weak

00:23:48.399 --> 00:23:49.220
 and heavy laden

00:23:49.220 --> 00:23:50.099
 cumbered with

00:23:50.099 --> 00:23:51.039
 a load of care?

00:23:51.720 --> 00:23:52.480
 Precious Savior

00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:53.819
 still our refuge.

00:23:54.420 --> 00:23:55.480
 Take it to the Lord

00:23:55.480 --> 00:23:56.399
 in prayer.

00:23:57.639 --> 00:23:58.639
 Imagine that you're

00:23:58.639 --> 00:24:00.279
 in a pottery studio

00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:02.799
 and you just

00:24:02.799 --> 00:24:04.440
 shaped a nice

00:24:04.440 --> 00:24:06.440
 concave bowl

00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:08.519
 and you told your friend,

00:24:09.420 --> 00:24:09.519
 hey,

00:24:09.619 --> 00:24:10.420
 look at my bowl

00:24:10.420 --> 00:24:11.960
 and then

00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:13.119
 your friend goes,

00:24:13.240 --> 00:24:13.420
 oh,

00:24:14.299 --> 00:24:15.579
 that's misshapen.

00:24:16.319 --> 00:24:17.519
 That's a misshapen,

00:24:17.899 --> 00:24:18.700
 useless ball.

00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:19.980
 What's up

00:24:19.980 --> 00:24:21.240
 with that hollow cavity

00:24:21.240 --> 00:24:21.700
 in the middle?

00:24:22.059 --> 00:24:22.720
 Let me help you.

00:24:23.099 --> 00:24:24.079
 And then he remolds it

00:24:24.079 --> 00:24:25.579
 and turns it into a ball.

00:24:26.279 --> 00:24:26.379
 Right?

00:24:27.700 --> 00:24:28.940
 He has profoundly

00:24:28.940 --> 00:24:29.539
 misunderstood

00:24:29.539 --> 00:24:30.379
 your intent.

00:24:31.899 --> 00:24:32.879
 But that's what

00:24:32.879 --> 00:24:33.500
 we often do

00:24:33.500 --> 00:24:34.000
 with God.

00:24:35.839 --> 00:24:36.740
 God put

00:24:36.740 --> 00:24:37.799
 the cavity there.

00:24:38.940 --> 00:24:39.980
 He put

00:24:39.980 --> 00:24:41.139
 that empty spot

00:24:41.139 --> 00:24:41.639
 there

00:24:41.639 --> 00:24:42.859
 intentionally.

00:24:43.099 --> 00:24:43.619
 He put

00:24:43.619 --> 00:24:44.579
 that deficit

00:24:44.579 --> 00:24:45.139
 there.

00:24:45.399 --> 00:24:45.940
 It's there

00:24:45.940 --> 00:24:46.779
 because God

00:24:46.779 --> 00:24:48.079
 intends to fill it

00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:49.240
 with himself

00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:50.659
 and with his grace

00:24:50.659 --> 00:24:52.019
 and with his power.

00:24:52.339 --> 00:24:53.240
 Our need is there

00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:53.819
 because God

00:24:53.819 --> 00:24:54.700
 intends to meet it

00:24:54.700 --> 00:24:55.379
 but we run

00:24:55.379 --> 00:24:56.539
 ourselves haggard

00:24:56.539 --> 00:24:57.420
 trying to be

00:24:57.420 --> 00:24:58.460
 self-sufficient.

00:24:58.460 --> 00:25:00.200
 trying to be

00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:01.240
 self-righteous.

00:25:01.940 --> 00:25:02.740
 Trying to prove

00:25:02.740 --> 00:25:03.220
 ourselves

00:25:03.220 --> 00:25:05.920
 to ourselves

00:25:05.920 --> 00:25:06.740
 and to all those

00:25:06.740 --> 00:25:07.279
 around us

00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:07.860
 that we are not

00:25:07.860 --> 00:25:08.500
 as needy

00:25:08.500 --> 00:25:09.240
 and weak

00:25:09.240 --> 00:25:09.880
 and sinful

00:25:09.880 --> 00:25:10.660
 as we actually

00:25:10.660 --> 00:25:11.140
 are.

00:25:11.700 --> 00:25:12.420
 But we must

00:25:12.420 --> 00:25:13.220
 stop living

00:25:13.220 --> 00:25:13.860
 like that.

00:25:15.259 --> 00:25:16.000
 Don't try to

00:25:16.000 --> 00:25:16.720
 fill the deficit

00:25:16.720 --> 00:25:17.620
 that God has put

00:25:17.620 --> 00:25:18.539
 inside your life.

00:25:20.620 --> 00:25:21.579
 So the disciples

00:25:21.579 --> 00:25:23.299
 bring the five loaves

00:25:23.299 --> 00:25:23.980
 and the two fish

00:25:23.980 --> 00:25:24.400
 to Jesus

00:25:24.400 --> 00:25:24.819
 and he says

00:25:24.819 --> 00:25:25.900
 in verses 19 to 20

00:25:25.900 --> 00:25:26.900
 then he ordered

00:25:26.900 --> 00:25:27.540
 the crowds

00:25:27.540 --> 00:25:28.340
 to sit down

00:25:28.340 --> 00:25:28.960
 on the grass

00:25:28.960 --> 00:25:29.940
 and taking the five

00:25:29.940 --> 00:25:30.880
 loaves and the two fish

00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:31.800
 he looked up to heaven

00:25:31.800 --> 00:25:32.580
 and said a blessing.

00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:33.740
 Then he broke

00:25:33.740 --> 00:25:34.440
 the loaves

00:25:34.440 --> 00:25:35.140
 and gave them

00:25:35.140 --> 00:25:35.820
 to the disciples

00:25:35.820 --> 00:25:36.680
 and the disciples

00:25:36.680 --> 00:25:37.759
 gave them

00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:38.640
 to the crowds.

00:25:39.560 --> 00:25:40.540
 Notice the sequence

00:25:40.540 --> 00:25:41.280
 of events here.

00:25:42.500 --> 00:25:43.180
 Jesus is still

00:25:43.180 --> 00:25:43.800
 requiring

00:25:43.800 --> 00:25:44.640
 by doing this

00:25:44.640 --> 00:25:45.280
 requiring

00:25:45.280 --> 00:25:46.440
 and asking

00:25:46.440 --> 00:25:47.100
 and inviting

00:25:47.100 --> 00:25:47.940
 his disciples

00:25:47.940 --> 00:25:48.860
 to put their

00:25:48.860 --> 00:25:49.800
 trust in him.

00:25:50.820 --> 00:25:51.380
 After Jesus

00:25:51.380 --> 00:25:51.940
 prays

00:25:51.940 --> 00:25:52.720
 the five loaves

00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:53.100
 of bread

00:25:53.099 --> 00:25:54.000
 do not start

00:25:54.000 --> 00:25:54.779
 multiplying

00:25:54.779 --> 00:25:55.819
 by themselves

00:25:55.819 --> 00:25:57.819
 and overflowing

00:25:57.819 --> 00:25:58.419
 the baskets

00:25:58.419 --> 00:25:59.759
 like the treasures

00:25:59.759 --> 00:26:01.179
 in Lestrange's

00:26:01.179 --> 00:26:01.459
 vault

00:26:01.459 --> 00:26:02.059
 in Gringotts

00:26:02.059 --> 00:26:02.839
 or something like that.

00:26:03.459 --> 00:26:04.119
 Every time

00:26:04.119 --> 00:26:04.779
 Jesus touches

00:26:04.779 --> 00:26:05.299
 one bread

00:26:05.299 --> 00:26:05.939
 it turns into

00:26:05.939 --> 00:26:06.679
 ten more bread.

00:26:06.740 --> 00:26:07.480
 That's not what happens.

00:26:08.379 --> 00:26:09.179
 It's the same

00:26:09.179 --> 00:26:10.059
 five loaves

00:26:10.059 --> 00:26:10.459
 of bread

00:26:10.459 --> 00:26:10.980
 that Jesus

00:26:10.980 --> 00:26:12.319
 hands to his disciples

00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:13.519
 to distribute

00:26:13.519 --> 00:26:14.219
 to the crowds.

00:26:15.819 --> 00:26:16.419
 So imagine

00:26:16.419 --> 00:26:16.859
 yourself

00:26:16.859 --> 00:26:17.459
 in the disciples'

00:26:17.679 --> 00:26:17.879
 shoes.

00:26:18.899 --> 00:26:19.839
 He just took it

00:26:19.839 --> 00:26:20.419
 he just prayed

00:26:20.419 --> 00:26:20.819
 for it

00:26:20.819 --> 00:26:21.139
 and then

00:26:21.139 --> 00:26:21.779
 wait for it

00:26:21.779 --> 00:26:22.279
 wait for it

00:26:22.279 --> 00:26:22.719
 wait for it

00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:23.180
 oh it's still

00:26:23.180 --> 00:26:23.740
 five loaves

00:26:23.740 --> 00:26:24.059
 of bread.

00:26:24.759 --> 00:26:24.860
 Okay?

00:26:28.100 --> 00:26:28.660
 And then

00:26:28.660 --> 00:26:29.160
 he hands it

00:26:29.160 --> 00:26:29.400
 to him.

00:26:29.579 --> 00:26:29.720
 Alright

00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:29.980
 go.

00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:32.839
 Okay.

00:26:34.299 --> 00:26:34.700
 Alright.

00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:39.140
 I mean

00:26:39.140 --> 00:26:40.200
 if I'm

00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:40.700
 one of the

00:26:40.700 --> 00:26:40.980
 disciples

00:26:40.980 --> 00:26:42.440
 I'm not

00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:42.839
 giving away

00:26:42.839 --> 00:26:43.380
 very much

00:26:43.380 --> 00:26:43.779
 you know?

00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:45.440
 It's like

00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:46.339
 it's like

00:26:46.339 --> 00:26:46.900
 it's like

00:26:46.900 --> 00:26:47.440
 most churches

00:26:47.440 --> 00:26:48.160
 communion sized

00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:48.559
 wafers

00:26:48.559 --> 00:26:48.819
 you know?

00:26:48.940 --> 00:26:49.120
 It's like

00:26:49.119 --> 00:26:53.579
 but

00:26:53.579 --> 00:26:54.939
 it's in

00:26:54.939 --> 00:26:55.659
 the act

00:26:55.659 --> 00:26:56.000
 of

00:26:56.000 --> 00:26:56.639
 in their

00:26:56.639 --> 00:26:57.179
 act of

00:26:57.179 --> 00:26:57.619
 faith

00:26:57.619 --> 00:26:58.539
 and obedience

00:26:58.539 --> 00:27:00.359
 as they

00:27:00.359 --> 00:27:01.199
 trust Jesus

00:27:01.199 --> 00:27:01.959
 and start

00:27:01.959 --> 00:27:02.659
 distributing

00:27:02.659 --> 00:27:03.399
 this bread

00:27:03.399 --> 00:27:03.859
 the meager

00:27:03.859 --> 00:27:04.399
 portions of bread

00:27:04.399 --> 00:27:04.739
 that the

00:27:04.739 --> 00:27:05.599
 miracle happens.

00:27:09.339 --> 00:27:09.939
 And

00:27:09.939 --> 00:27:11.199
 as they're

00:27:11.199 --> 00:27:11.779
 giving this

00:27:11.779 --> 00:27:12.319
 out

00:27:12.319 --> 00:27:14.239
 soon

00:27:14.239 --> 00:27:15.259
 any

00:27:15.259 --> 00:27:15.779
 remaining

00:27:15.779 --> 00:27:16.459
 doubt

00:27:16.460 --> 00:27:17.120
 and unbelief

00:27:17.120 --> 00:27:17.660
 turns into

00:27:17.660 --> 00:27:18.539
 disbelief

00:27:18.539 --> 00:27:19.720
 what?

00:27:20.200 --> 00:27:20.579
 We're still

00:27:20.579 --> 00:27:20.799
 going?

00:27:21.940 --> 00:27:22.620
 And then

00:27:22.620 --> 00:27:23.240
 as they

00:27:23.240 --> 00:27:23.900
 keep obeying

00:27:23.900 --> 00:27:24.259
 as they

00:27:24.259 --> 00:27:24.920
 keep believing

00:27:24.920 --> 00:27:25.460
 they grow

00:27:25.460 --> 00:27:26.140
 in confidence

00:27:26.140 --> 00:27:26.519
 they grow

00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:26.960
 in faith

00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:27.340
 and now

00:27:27.340 --> 00:27:27.519
 they're

00:27:27.519 --> 00:27:27.920
 giving out

00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:28.440
 big chunks

00:27:28.440 --> 00:27:28.779
 of bread

00:27:28.779 --> 00:27:29.200
 here you

00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:29.519
 go.

00:27:33.299 --> 00:27:33.880
 There's

00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:34.519
 still more

00:27:34.519 --> 00:27:35.319
 there's

00:27:35.319 --> 00:27:36.120
 still more

00:27:36.120 --> 00:27:37.840
 it says

00:27:37.840 --> 00:27:38.100
 in verse

00:27:38.100 --> 00:27:38.340
 20

00:27:38.340 --> 00:27:39.100
 they all

00:27:39.100 --> 00:27:39.420
 ate

00:27:39.420 --> 00:27:39.799
 and were

00:27:39.799 --> 00:27:40.480
 satisfied

00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:41.740
 and they

00:27:41.740 --> 00:27:42.079
 took up

00:27:42.079 --> 00:27:42.340
 twelve

00:27:42.340 --> 00:27:42.680
 baskets

00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:43.279
 full of

00:27:43.279 --> 00:27:43.420
 the

00:27:43.420 --> 00:27:43.680
 broken

00:27:43.680 --> 00:27:44.059
 pieces

00:27:44.059 --> 00:27:44.379
 left

00:27:44.379 --> 00:27:44.679
 over.

00:27:45.779 --> 00:27:46.019
 Jesus

00:27:46.019 --> 00:27:46.419
 didn't

00:27:46.419 --> 00:27:46.639
 just

00:27:46.639 --> 00:27:46.960
 wet

00:27:46.960 --> 00:27:47.539
 people's

00:27:47.539 --> 00:27:48.179
 appetites

00:27:48.179 --> 00:27:48.779
 just

00:27:48.779 --> 00:27:49.039
 enough

00:27:49.039 --> 00:27:49.200
 to

00:27:49.200 --> 00:27:49.440
 stave

00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:49.579
 off

00:27:49.579 --> 00:27:49.740
 their

00:27:49.740 --> 00:27:50.000
 hunger

00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:50.240
 until

00:27:50.240 --> 00:27:50.379
 their

00:27:50.379 --> 00:27:50.679
 next

00:27:50.679 --> 00:27:51.000
 meal

00:27:51.000 --> 00:27:51.179
 no

00:27:51.179 --> 00:27:51.539
 Jesus

00:27:51.539 --> 00:27:52.960
 satisfied

00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:53.240
 them.

00:27:55.519 --> 00:27:55.759
 And

00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:56.000
 how

00:27:56.000 --> 00:27:56.440
 kind

00:27:56.440 --> 00:27:56.759
 is it

00:27:56.759 --> 00:27:57.000
 of

00:27:57.000 --> 00:27:57.319
 Jesus

00:27:57.319 --> 00:27:57.779
 to

00:27:57.779 --> 00:27:58.220
 use

00:27:58.220 --> 00:27:58.419
 his

00:27:58.419 --> 00:27:58.859
 disciples

00:27:58.859 --> 00:27:59.639
 in

00:27:59.639 --> 00:27:59.839
 this

00:27:59.839 --> 00:28:00.079
 setting?

00:28:01.359 --> 00:28:01.740
 Jesus

00:28:01.740 --> 00:28:02.099
 could

00:28:02.099 --> 00:28:02.480
 have

00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:03.059
 cut

00:28:03.059 --> 00:28:03.179
 the

00:28:03.179 --> 00:28:03.740
 disciples

00:28:03.740 --> 00:28:04.960
 out

00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:05.019
 of

00:28:05.019 --> 00:28:05.119
 the

00:28:05.119 --> 00:28:05.399
 equation

00:28:05.399 --> 00:28:05.799
 altogether.

00:28:06.279 --> 00:28:06.480
 He

00:28:06.480 --> 00:28:06.679
 could

00:28:06.679 --> 00:28:07.019
 have

00:28:07.019 --> 00:28:07.779
 distributed

00:28:07.779 --> 00:28:08.119
 the bread

00:28:08.119 --> 00:28:08.619
 himself.

00:28:10.139 --> 00:28:10.740
 He

00:28:10.740 --> 00:28:11.200
 asks

00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:11.659
 instead

00:28:11.659 --> 00:28:11.839
 his

00:28:11.839 --> 00:28:12.220
 disciples

00:28:12.220 --> 00:28:12.460
 to

00:28:12.460 --> 00:28:12.839
 distribute

00:28:12.839 --> 00:28:13.059
 the

00:28:13.059 --> 00:28:13.339
 bread.

00:28:14.059 --> 00:28:14.980
 To

00:28:14.980 --> 00:28:15.220
 have

00:28:15.220 --> 00:28:15.440
 the

00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:15.919
 privilege

00:28:15.919 --> 00:28:16.159
 of

00:28:16.159 --> 00:28:16.339
 being

00:28:16.339 --> 00:28:16.919
 employed

00:28:16.919 --> 00:28:17.139
 in

00:28:17.139 --> 00:28:17.480
 God's

00:28:17.480 --> 00:28:17.799
 service.

00:28:17.919 --> 00:28:18.000
 To

00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:18.659
 experience

00:28:18.659 --> 00:28:18.919
 the

00:28:18.919 --> 00:28:19.539
 joy

00:28:19.539 --> 00:28:19.740
 of

00:28:19.740 --> 00:28:20.099
 seeing

00:28:20.099 --> 00:28:20.500
 God

00:28:20.500 --> 00:28:20.799
 work

00:28:20.799 --> 00:28:21.379
 powerfully

00:28:21.379 --> 00:28:21.940
 and in

00:28:21.940 --> 00:28:22.279
 doing so

00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:22.799
 building up

00:28:22.799 --> 00:28:23.000
 their

00:28:23.000 --> 00:28:23.379
 faith.

00:28:24.319 --> 00:28:24.500
 And

00:28:24.500 --> 00:28:24.700
 how

00:28:24.700 --> 00:28:25.240
 kind

00:28:25.240 --> 00:28:25.639
 also

00:28:25.639 --> 00:28:25.879
 of

00:28:25.879 --> 00:28:26.220
 Jesus

00:28:26.220 --> 00:28:26.500
 to

00:28:26.500 --> 00:28:26.919
 use

00:28:26.919 --> 00:28:27.099
 the

00:28:27.099 --> 00:28:27.480
 five

00:28:27.480 --> 00:28:27.859
 loaves

00:28:27.859 --> 00:28:28.059
 that

00:28:28.059 --> 00:28:28.220
 his

00:28:28.220 --> 00:28:28.659
 disciples

00:28:28.659 --> 00:28:29.259
 had

00:28:29.259 --> 00:28:30.000
 to

00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:30.279
 begin

00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:30.599
 with.

00:28:31.139 --> 00:28:31.460
 Jesus

00:28:31.460 --> 00:28:31.700
 could

00:28:31.700 --> 00:28:31.799
 have

00:28:31.799 --> 00:28:32.000
 cut

00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:32.259
 that

00:28:32.259 --> 00:28:32.440
 out

00:28:32.440 --> 00:28:32.519
 of

00:28:32.519 --> 00:28:32.639
 the

00:28:32.639 --> 00:28:32.940
 equation

00:28:32.940 --> 00:28:33.179
 too.

00:28:33.259 --> 00:28:33.339
 He

00:28:33.339 --> 00:28:33.480
 could

00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:33.579
 have

00:28:33.579 --> 00:28:33.799
 just

00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:34.159
 prayed

00:28:34.159 --> 00:28:34.339
 and

00:28:34.339 --> 00:28:34.480
 then

00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:34.599
 he

00:28:34.599 --> 00:28:34.740
 could

00:28:34.740 --> 00:28:34.859
 have

00:28:34.859 --> 00:28:35.259
 rained

00:28:35.259 --> 00:28:35.779
 manna

00:28:35.779 --> 00:28:35.960
 from

00:28:35.960 --> 00:28:36.179
 heaven

00:28:36.179 --> 00:28:36.399
 like

00:28:36.399 --> 00:28:36.500
 he

00:28:36.500 --> 00:28:36.639
 did

00:28:36.639 --> 00:28:36.720
 in

00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:36.799
 the

00:28:36.799 --> 00:28:37.019
 wilderness.

00:28:38.539 --> 00:28:38.700
 He

00:28:38.700 --> 00:28:38.839
 didn't

00:28:38.839 --> 00:28:39.000
 have

00:28:39.000 --> 00:28:39.120
 to

00:28:39.120 --> 00:28:39.460
 use

00:28:39.460 --> 00:28:39.579
 the

00:28:39.579 --> 00:28:39.960
 disciples

00:28:39.960 --> 00:28:40.360
 five

00:28:40.360 --> 00:28:40.640
 loaves

00:28:40.640 --> 00:28:40.819
 of

00:28:40.819 --> 00:28:41.039
 bread

00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:41.240
 but

00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:41.480
 Jesus

00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:41.880
 doesn't

00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:42.059
 do

00:28:42.059 --> 00:28:42.380
 that.

00:28:43.039 --> 00:28:43.360
 Instead

00:28:43.360 --> 00:28:43.720
 the

00:28:43.720 --> 00:28:44.200
 disciples

00:28:44.200 --> 00:28:45.000
 experienced

00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:45.220
 the

00:28:45.220 --> 00:28:45.680
 privilege

00:28:45.680 --> 00:28:46.039
 of

00:28:46.039 --> 00:28:46.480
 having

00:28:46.480 --> 00:28:47.120
 their

00:28:47.120 --> 00:28:47.740
 meager

00:28:47.740 --> 00:28:48.559
 ordinary

00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:49.279
 resources

00:28:49.279 --> 00:28:50.079
 multiplied

00:28:50.079 --> 00:28:50.480
 by

00:28:50.480 --> 00:28:50.799
 God

00:28:50.799 --> 00:28:51.000
 to

00:28:51.000 --> 00:28:51.600
 accomplish

00:28:51.600 --> 00:28:52.720
 extraordinary

00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:53.539
 things.

00:28:54.920 --> 00:28:55.180
 Isn't

00:28:55.180 --> 00:28:55.480
 that what

00:28:55.480 --> 00:28:55.779
 God

00:28:55.779 --> 00:28:56.079
 does

00:28:56.079 --> 00:28:56.299
 with

00:28:56.299 --> 00:28:56.559
 every

00:28:56.559 --> 00:28:56.839
 single

00:28:56.839 --> 00:28:57.019
 one

00:28:57.019 --> 00:28:57.140
 of

00:28:57.140 --> 00:28:57.500
 us?

00:28:58.420 --> 00:28:58.940
 God

00:28:58.940 --> 00:28:59.539
 used

00:28:59.539 --> 00:29:00.160
 my

00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:00.980
 stumbling

00:29:00.980 --> 00:29:02.019
 mumbling

00:29:02.019 --> 00:29:03.019
 gospel

00:29:03.019 --> 00:29:03.420
 witness

00:29:03.420 --> 00:29:04.000
 to draw

00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:04.339
 that

00:29:04.339 --> 00:29:04.720
 person

00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:05.019
 a little

00:29:05.019 --> 00:29:05.339
 closer

00:29:05.339 --> 00:29:05.500
 to

00:29:05.500 --> 00:29:05.860
 Christ?

00:29:05.859 --> 00:29:08.879
 God

00:29:08.879 --> 00:29:09.079
 you

00:29:09.079 --> 00:29:09.539
 used

00:29:09.539 --> 00:29:10.039
 my

00:29:10.039 --> 00:29:10.939
 imperfect

00:29:10.939 --> 00:29:11.559
 example

00:29:11.559 --> 00:29:11.799
 to

00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:12.219
 challenge

00:29:12.219 --> 00:29:12.399
 a

00:29:12.399 --> 00:29:12.679
 brother

00:29:12.679 --> 00:29:12.899
 or

00:29:12.899 --> 00:29:13.199
 sister

00:29:13.199 --> 00:29:13.439
 in

00:29:13.439 --> 00:29:13.719
 Christ

00:29:13.719 --> 00:29:14.339
 onto

00:29:14.339 --> 00:29:14.679
 greater

00:29:14.679 --> 00:29:15.059
 obedience?

00:29:17.859 --> 00:29:18.539
 You

00:29:18.539 --> 00:29:19.000
 used

00:29:19.000 --> 00:29:19.240
 my

00:29:19.240 --> 00:29:19.799
 five

00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:20.159
 loaves

00:29:20.159 --> 00:29:20.419
 of

00:29:20.419 --> 00:29:20.679
 bread

00:29:20.679 --> 00:29:20.919
 to

00:29:20.919 --> 00:29:21.419
 feed

00:29:21.419 --> 00:29:21.719
 the

00:29:21.719 --> 00:29:22.079
 five

00:29:22.079 --> 00:29:22.559
 thousand.

00:29:25.639 --> 00:29:26.299
 How

00:29:26.299 --> 00:29:26.639
 kind

00:29:26.639 --> 00:29:26.919
 is our

00:29:26.919 --> 00:29:27.139
 Lord?

00:29:28.439 --> 00:29:29.099
 I

00:29:29.099 --> 00:29:29.339
 mentioned

00:29:29.339 --> 00:29:29.659
 to you

00:29:29.659 --> 00:29:30.079
 that this

00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:30.359
 miracle

00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:30.719
 mirrors

00:29:30.719 --> 00:29:31.019
 the one

00:29:31.019 --> 00:29:31.579
 performed

00:29:31.579 --> 00:29:31.959
 by

00:29:31.959 --> 00:29:32.359
 prophet

00:29:32.359 --> 00:29:32.759
 Elijah

00:29:32.759 --> 00:29:33.539
 but

00:29:33.539 --> 00:29:33.699
 there

00:29:33.699 --> 00:29:33.799
 is

00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:33.899
 a

00:29:34.119 --> 00:29:34.639
 older

00:29:34.639 --> 00:29:35.059
 miracle

00:29:35.059 --> 00:29:35.439
 that

00:29:36.820 --> 00:29:37.140
 in the

00:29:37.140 --> 00:29:37.480
 wilderness

00:29:37.480 --> 00:29:38.100
 alludes

00:29:38.100 --> 00:29:38.440
 to

00:29:38.440 --> 00:29:39.279
 a

00:29:39.279 --> 00:29:39.640
 millennia

00:29:39.640 --> 00:29:39.840
 and a

00:29:40.920 --> 00:29:41.279
 at the

00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:41.539

00:29:41.539 --> 00:29:41.680
 of

00:29:41.680 --> 00:29:42.200
 Israel's

00:29:42.200 --> 00:29:42.600

00:29:42.600 --> 00:29:42.620
!

00:29:42.620 --> 00:29:43.779
 God

00:29:43.779 --> 00:29:44.140
 used

00:29:44.140 --> 00:29:44.600
 Moses

00:29:44.600 --> 00:29:45.140
 to

00:29:50.480 --> 00:29:52.860
 likewise

00:29:52.860 --> 00:29:53.320

00:29:53.320 --> 00:29:53.759
 in a

00:29:54.480 --> 00:29:54.740
 in the

00:29:55.019 --> 00:29:55.460
 Jesus

00:29:55.460 --> 00:29:56.080
 provides

 I

00:29:58.680 --> 00:29:58.860
 don't

00:29:58.860 --> 00:29:59.059
 think

00:29:59.059 --> 00:29:59.240
 it's

00:29:59.240 --> 00:29:59.720
 coincidence

00:29:59.720 --> 00:30:00.240
 that

00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:00.759
 they

 end

00:30:04.819 --> 00:30:06.399
 why

00:30:06.399 --> 00:30:07.679
 why

00:30:07.679 --> 00:30:08.119
 twelve

00:30:08.119 --> 00:30:08.399
 because

00:30:08.399 --> 00:30:08.759
 of course

00:30:08.759 --> 00:30:09.019
 there's

 this is

00:30:15.359 --> 00:30:15.700
 God's

00:30:15.700 --> 00:30:16.039

00:38:53.659 --> 00:38:53.880
 better

00:38:53.880 --> 00:38:54.240
 spent

00:38:54.240 --> 00:38:54.659
 praying

00:38:54.659 --> 00:38:55.019
 seeking

00:38:55.019 --> 00:38:55.039
!

00:38:55.039 --> 00:38:55.300
 God

00:38:55.300 --> 00:38:55.719
 first

00:38:55.719 --> 00:38:58.099
 but

00:38:58.099 --> 00:38:58.280
 I

00:38:58.280 --> 00:38:58.400
 don't

00:38:58.400 --> 00:38:58.579
 blame

00:38:58.579 --> 00:38:58.699
 the

00:38:58.699 --> 00:38:58.980
 disciples

00:38:58.980 --> 00:38:59.199
 because

00:38:59.199 --> 00:38:59.420
 Jesus

00:38:59.420 --> 00:38:59.699
 made

00:38:59.699 --> 00:38:59.820
 them

00:38:59.820 --> 00:38:59.980
 go

00:38:59.980 --> 00:39:00.119
 in

00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:00.300
 there

00:39:00.300 --> 00:39:03.519
 Jesus

00:39:03.519 --> 00:39:03.860
 made

00:39:03.860 --> 00:39:03.980
 the

00:39:03.980 --> 00:39:04.340
 disciples

00:39:04.340 --> 00:39:04.559
 get

00:39:04.559 --> 00:39:04.659
 into

00:39:04.659 --> 00:39:04.780
 the

00:39:04.780 --> 00:39:04.960
 boat

00:39:04.960 --> 00:39:05.099
 and

00:39:05.099 --> 00:39:05.260
 go

00:39:05.260 --> 00:39:05.519
 before

00:39:05.519 --> 00:39:05.619
 him

00:39:05.619 --> 00:39:05.699
 to

00:39:05.699 --> 00:39:05.800
 the

00:39:05.800 --> 00:39:05.940
 other

00:39:05.940 --> 00:39:06.300
 side

00:39:06.300 --> 00:39:06.659
 Jesus

00:39:06.659 --> 00:39:06.880
 is

00:39:06.880 --> 00:39:07.000
 the

00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:07.199
 one

00:39:07.199 --> 00:39:07.300
 who

00:39:07.300 --> 00:39:07.400
 is

00:39:07.400 --> 00:39:07.860
 sovereignly

00:39:07.860 --> 00:39:08.460
 orchestrating

00:39:08.460 --> 00:39:08.820
 this

00:39:08.820 --> 00:39:10.740
 he

00:39:10.740 --> 00:39:11.019
 knows

00:39:11.019 --> 00:39:11.159
 they're

00:39:11.159 --> 00:39:11.280
 going

00:39:11.280 --> 00:39:11.380
 to

00:39:11.380 --> 00:39:11.559
 run

00:39:11.559 --> 00:39:11.760
 into

00:39:11.760 --> 00:39:11.900
 the

00:39:11.900 --> 00:39:12.280
 headwind

00:39:12.280 --> 00:39:13.260
 he

00:39:13.260 --> 00:39:13.500
 knows

00:39:13.500 --> 00:39:13.659
 he's

00:39:13.659 --> 00:39:13.760
 going

00:39:13.760 --> 00:39:13.840
 to

00:39:13.840 --> 00:39:14.039
 come

00:39:14.039 --> 00:39:14.159
 to

00:39:14.159 --> 00:39:14.400
 them

00:39:14.400 --> 00:39:14.619
 and

00:39:14.619 --> 00:39:14.840
 he's

00:39:14.840 --> 00:39:14.940
!

00:39:14.940 --> 00:39:14.960
 going

00:39:14.960 --> 00:39:15.000
 to

00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:15.280
!

00:39:15.280 --> 00:39:19.320
 Again

00:39:19.320 --> 00:39:19.680
 this

00:39:19.680 --> 00:39:20.120
 illustrates

00:39:20.120 --> 00:39:20.480
 what I

00:39:20.480 --> 00:39:20.620
 was

00:39:20.620 --> 00:39:20.820
 saying

00:39:20.820 --> 00:39:21.180
 earlier

00:39:21.180 --> 00:39:21.380
 that

00:39:21.380 --> 00:39:21.640
 God

00:39:21.640 --> 00:39:22.019
 sends

00:39:22.019 --> 00:39:22.220
 us

00:39:22.220 --> 00:39:22.600
 out

00:39:22.600 --> 00:39:22.920
 with

00:39:22.920 --> 00:39:23.560
 intentional

00:39:23.560 --> 00:39:24.280
 deficits

00:39:24.280 --> 00:39:25.320
 so that

00:39:25.320 --> 00:39:25.580
 we

00:39:25.580 --> 00:39:26.100
 must

00:39:26.100 --> 00:39:26.500
 depend

00:39:26.500 --> 00:39:26.700
 on

00:39:26.700 --> 00:39:27.019
 him

00:39:27.019 --> 00:39:27.700
 and

00:39:27.700 --> 00:39:27.820
 so

00:39:27.820 --> 00:39:27.960
 that

00:39:27.960 --> 00:39:28.160
 no

00:39:28.160 --> 00:39:28.420
 man

00:39:28.420 --> 00:39:28.620
 may

00:39:28.620 --> 00:39:29.040
 boast

00:39:29.040 --> 00:39:30.940
 even

00:39:30.940 --> 00:39:31.160
 the

00:39:31.160 --> 00:39:31.720
 headwinds

00:39:31.720 --> 00:39:31.840
 that

00:39:31.840 --> 00:39:31.980
 we

00:39:31.980 --> 00:39:32.360
 face

00:39:32.360 --> 00:39:32.500
 in

00:39:32.500 --> 00:39:32.660
 our

00:39:32.660 --> 00:39:33.060
 lives

00:39:33.060 --> 00:39:33.640
 resistance

00:39:33.640 --> 00:39:34.620
 opposition

00:39:34.620 --> 00:39:35.780
 persecution

00:39:35.780 --> 00:39:36.780
 hardship

00:39:36.780 --> 00:39:37.180
 and

00:39:37.180 --> 00:39:37.640
 suffering

00:39:37.640 --> 00:39:38.200
 none

00:39:38.200 --> 00:39:38.540
 of it

00:39:38.540 --> 00:39:39.000
 comes

00:39:39.000 --> 00:39:39.580
 outside

00:39:39.580 --> 00:39:39.840
 of the

00:39:39.840 --> 00:39:40.140
 sovereign

00:39:40.140 --> 00:39:40.460
 hand

00:39:40.460 --> 00:39:40.700
 of our

00:39:40.700 --> 00:39:40.960
 heavenly

00:39:40.960 --> 00:39:41.380
 father

00:39:41.380 --> 00:39:42.140
 do you

00:39:42.140 --> 00:39:42.420
 believe

00:39:42.420 --> 00:39:42.740
 that

00:39:42.739 --> 00:39:45.059
 God

00:39:45.059 --> 00:39:45.379
 says

00:39:45.379 --> 00:39:45.500
 in

00:39:45.500 --> 00:39:45.779
 Isaiah

00:44:37.639 --> 00:44:37.800
 and

00:44:37.800 --> 00:44:37.960
 then

00:44:37.960 --> 00:44:38.260
 Jesus

00:44:38.260 --> 00:44:39.019
 rebukes

00:44:39.019 --> 00:44:39.360
 Satan

00:44:39.360 --> 00:44:39.940
 and

00:44:39.940 --> 00:44:40.059
 he

00:44:40.059 --> 00:44:40.260
 says

00:44:40.260 --> 00:44:40.840

00:44:40.840 --> 00:44:41.139
 Satan

00:44:41.500 --> 00:44:41.619
 is

 Jew

00:44:48.340 --> 00:44:48.740

00:44:48.740 --> 00:44:49.000
 you're

00:44:49.000 --> 00:44:49.460
 only

00:44:49.460 --> 00:44:49.740
 supposed

00:44:49.740 --> 00:44:49.960
 to

00:44:49.960 --> 00:44:50.180
 worship

00:44:50.180 --> 00:44:50.639
 God

00:44:50.639 --> 00:44:53.160

00:44:53.260 --> 00:44:53.360
 they

 doing

00:44:54.820 --> 00:44:55.240
 Jesus

00:44:55.240 --> 00:44:56.740

 he

00:45:00.300 --> 00:45:00.720
 is

00:45:00.719 --> 00:45:01.119
 the

00:45:01.119 --> 00:45:01.459
 son

00:45:01.459 --> 00:45:02.039
 of

00:45:02.039 --> 00:45:02.399
 God

00:45:02.399 --> 00:45:03.939
 and

00:45:03.939 --> 00:45:04.179
 what

00:45:04.179 --> 00:45:04.339
 is

00:45:04.339 --> 00:45:04.500
 the

00:45:04.500 --> 00:45:04.779
 intended

00:45:04.779 --> 00:45:05.219
 effect

00:45:05.219 --> 00:45:05.459
 of

00:45:05.459 --> 00:45:05.799
 Jesus

00:45:05.799 --> 00:45:06.159
 saying

00:45:06.159 --> 00:45:06.459
 I

00:45:06.459 --> 00:45:06.759
 am

00:45:06.759 --> 00:45:08.059
 it's

00:45:08.059 --> 00:45:08.179
 the

00:45:08.179 --> 00:45:08.439
 two

00:45:08.439 --> 00:45:09.019
 phrases

00:45:09.019 --> 00:45:09.299
 that

00:45:09.299 --> 00:45:10.219
 proceed

00:45:10.219 --> 00:45:10.480
 and

00:45:10.480 --> 00:45:11.219
 succeed

00:45:11.219 --> 00:45:11.519
 that

00:45:11.519 --> 00:45:12.819
 take

00:45:12.819 --> 00:45:13.219
 heart

00:45:13.219 --> 00:45:14.339
 take

00:45:14.339 --> 00:45:14.599
 heart

00:45:14.599 --> 00:45:14.779
 to

00:45:14.779 --> 00:45:14.980
 do

00:45:14.980 --> 00:45:15.199
 not

00:45:15.199 --> 00:45:15.559
 be

00:45:15.559 --> 00:45:16.199
 afraid

00:45:16.199 --> 00:45:17.139
 that's

00:45:17.139 --> 00:45:17.259
 the

00:45:17.259 --> 00:45:17.519
 exact

00:45:17.519 --> 00:45:18.019
 same

00:45:18.019 --> 00:45:19.259
 reason

00:45:19.259 --> 00:45:19.839
 why

00:45:19.839 --> 00:45:20.139
 God

00:45:20.139 --> 00:45:20.480
 revealed

00:45:20.480 --> 00:45:20.639
 his

00:45:20.639 --> 00:45:20.799
 name

00:45:20.799 --> 00:45:20.959
 to

 Moses

00:45:21.199 --> 00:45:21.399
 in

00:45:21.399 --> 00:45:21.719
 Exodus

00:45:21.719 --> 00:45:22.139
 3

00:45:22.139 --> 00:45:22.980
 take

00:45:22.980 --> 00:45:23.379
 heart

00:45:23.379 --> 00:45:23.659
 do

00:45:23.659 --> 00:45:23.819
 not

00:45:23.819 --> 00:45:24.000
 be

00:45:24.000 --> 00:45:24.399
 afraid

00:45:24.399 --> 00:45:24.939
 I

00:45:24.939 --> 00:45:25.359
 will

00:45:25.359 --> 00:45:25.759
 be

00:45:25.759 --> 00:45:26.199
 with

00:45:26.199 --> 00:45:26.559
 you

00:45:26.559 --> 00:45:27.419
 I

00:45:27.419 --> 00:45:27.839
 am

00:45:27.839 --> 00:45:27.839


00:45:28.399 --> 00:45:28.439
 who

00:45:28.439 --> 00:45:28.679
 I

00:45:28.679 --> 00:45:29.039
 am

00:45:29.039 --> 00:45:29.759
 so

00:45:29.759 --> 00:45:29.939
 when

00:45:29.939 --> 00:45:30.079
 we

00:45:30.079 --> 00:45:30.179
 are

00:45:30.179 --> 00:45:30.679
 afraid

00:45:30.679 --> 00:45:31.239
 when

00:45:31.239 --> 00:45:31.379
 we

00:45:31.379 --> 00:45:31.579
 feel

00:45:31.579 --> 00:45:32.039
 weak

00:45:32.039 --> 00:45:32.199
 and

00:45:32.199 --> 00:45:32.599
 inadequate

00:45:32.599 --> 00:45:32.899
 when

00:45:32.899 --> 00:45:33.079
 we're

00:45:33.079 --> 00:45:33.539
 facing

00:45:33.539 --> 00:45:33.819
 the

00:45:33.819 --> 00:45:34.379
 headwinds

00:45:34.379 --> 00:45:34.500
 of

00:45:34.500 --> 00:45:34.839
 life

00:45:34.839 --> 00:45:35.440
 when

00:45:35.440 --> 00:45:35.619
 God

00:45:35.619 --> 00:45:35.919
 sends

00:45:35.919 --> 00:45:36.079
 us

00:45:36.079 --> 00:45:36.279
 into

00:45:36.279 --> 00:45:36.719
 missions

00:45:36.719 --> 00:45:36.899
 and

00:45:36.899 --> 00:45:37.460
 situations

00:45:37.460 --> 00:45:37.859
 where

00:45:37.859 --> 00:45:38.059
 we

00:45:38.059 --> 00:45:38.399
 feel

00:45:38.399 --> 00:45:38.599
 our

00:45:38.599 --> 00:45:39.339
 deficiencies

00:45:39.339 --> 00:45:40.219
 keenly

00:45:40.219 --> 00:45:40.919
 God's

00:45:40.919 --> 00:45:41.259
 answer

00:45:41.259 --> 00:45:41.419
 is

00:45:41.419 --> 00:45:41.759
 always

00:45:41.759 --> 00:45:42.099
 this

00:45:42.099 --> 00:45:42.299
 it's

00:45:42.299 --> 00:45:42.559
 always

00:45:42.559 --> 00:45:42.759
 the

00:45:42.759 --> 00:45:43.019
 same

00:45:43.019 --> 00:45:43.579
 he

00:45:43.579 --> 00:45:43.739
 said

00:45:43.739 --> 00:45:43.859
 in

00:45:43.859 --> 00:45:44.039
 verse

00:45:44.039 --> 00:45:44.399
 18

00:45:44.399 --> 00:45:44.799
 bring

00:45:44.799 --> 00:45:45.079
 them

00:45:45.079 --> 00:45:45.279
 to

00:45:45.279 --> 00:45:45.639
 me

00:45:45.639 --> 00:45:46.460
 here

00:45:46.460 --> 00:45:46.579
 in

 verse

00:45:46.699 --> 00:45:47.179
 27

00:45:47.179 --> 00:45:47.460
 Jesus

00:45:47.460 --> 00:45:47.819
 says

00:45:47.819 --> 00:45:48.159
 I

00:45:48.159 --> 00:45:48.500
 am

00:45:48.500 --> 00:45:50.539
 it's

00:45:50.539 --> 00:45:50.759
 not

00:45:50.759 --> 00:45:50.960
 the

00:45:50.960 --> 00:45:51.579
 change

00:45:51.579 --> 00:45:52.279
 in

00:45:52.279 --> 00:45:52.460
 the

00:45:52.460 --> 00:45:52.739
 present

00:45:52.739 --> 00:45:53.460
 circumstances

00:45:53.460 --> 00:45:53.799
 that

00:45:53.799 --> 00:45:54.319
 should

00:45:54.319 --> 00:45:54.659
 calm

00:45:54.659 --> 00:45:54.899
 our

00:45:54.899 --> 00:45:55.279
 souls

00:45:55.279 --> 00:45:55.579
 or

00:45:55.579 --> 00:45:55.919
 assure

00:45:55.919 --> 00:45:56.299
 us

00:45:56.299 --> 00:45:57.480
 but

00:45:57.480 --> 00:45:57.759
 it's

00:46:00.679 --> 00:46:01.139
 of

00:46:01.139 --> 00:46:01.339
 the

00:46:01.339 --> 00:46:01.699
 living

00:46:03.339 --> 00:46:03.619
 am

00:46:03.619 --> 00:46:04.759

00:46:04.759 --> 00:46:05.319
 transforms

00:46:05.319 --> 00:46:05.539
 our

 the

00:46:28.819 --> 00:46:29.000
 boat

00:46:29.000 --> 00:46:29.139
 and

00:46:29.139 --> 00:46:29.419
 walked

00:46:29.419 --> 00:46:29.699
 on

00:46:29.699 --> 00:46:29.839
 the

00:46:29.839 --> 00:46:30.099
 water

00:46:30.099 --> 00:46:30.279
 and

00:46:30.279 --> 00:46:30.519
 came

00:46:30.519 --> 00:46:30.679
 to

00:46:30.679 --> 00:46:31.059
 Jesus

00:46:31.059 --> 00:46:31.619
 but

00:46:31.619 --> 00:46:31.759
 when

00:46:31.759 --> 00:46:31.900
 he

00:46:31.900 --> 00:46:32.159
 saw

00:46:32.159 --> 00:46:32.360
 the

00:46:32.360 --> 00:46:32.679
 wind

00:46:32.679 --> 00:46:32.880
 he

00:46:32.880 --> 00:46:33.079
 was

00:46:33.079 --> 00:46:33.619
 afraid

00:46:33.619 --> 00:46:34.199
 and

00:46:34.199 --> 00:46:34.619
 beginning

00:46:34.619 --> 00:46:34.880
 to

00:46:34.880 --> 00:46:35.179
 sink

00:46:35.179 --> 00:46:35.340
 he

00:46:35.340 --> 00:46:35.599
 cried

00:46:35.599 --> 00:46:35.820
 out

00:46:35.820 --> 00:46:36.139
 Lord

00:46:36.139 --> 00:46:36.719
 save

00:46:36.719 --> 00:46:37.019
 me

00:46:37.019 --> 00:46:38.440
 Jesus

00:46:38.440 --> 00:46:39.079
 immediately

00:46:39.079 --> 00:46:39.679
 reached out

00:46:39.679 --> 00:46:40.099
 his hand

00:46:40.099 --> 00:46:40.380
 and took

00:46:40.380 --> 00:46:40.800
 hold of

00:46:40.800 --> 00:46:40.960
 him

00:46:40.960 --> 00:46:41.259
 saying

00:46:41.259 --> 00:46:41.420
 to

00:46:41.420 --> 00:46:41.659
 him

00:46:41.659 --> 00:46:42.340
 oh

00:46:42.340 --> 00:46:42.619
 you

00:46:42.619 --> 00:46:42.860
 of

00:46:42.860 --> 00:46:43.079
 little

00:46:43.079 --> 00:46:43.500
 faith

00:46:43.500 --> 00:46:44.420
 why

00:46:44.420 --> 00:46:45.039
 did

00:46:45.039 --> 00:46:45.159
 you

00:46:45.159 --> 00:46:45.480
 doubt

00:46:45.480 --> 00:46:47.780
 it's

00:46:47.780 --> 00:46:48.300
 so true

00:46:48.300 --> 00:46:48.539
 to our

00:46:48.539 --> 00:46:49.079
 experience

00:46:49.079 --> 00:46:49.380
 isn't

00:46:49.380 --> 00:46:49.519
 it

00:46:49.519 --> 00:46:49.960
 when we

00:46:49.960 --> 00:46:50.320
 fix

00:46:50.320 --> 00:46:50.519
 our

00:46:50.519 --> 00:46:50.920
 eyes

00:46:50.920 --> 00:46:51.500
 on

00:46:51.500 --> 00:46:51.679
 the

00:46:51.679 --> 00:46:52.039
 wind

00:46:52.039 --> 00:46:53.019
 when

00:46:53.019 --> 00:46:53.239
 we

00:46:53.239 --> 00:46:53.500
 fix

00:46:53.500 --> 00:46:53.659
 our

00:46:53.659 --> 00:46:53.860
 eyes

00:46:53.860 --> 00:46:53.980
 on

00:46:53.980 --> 00:46:54.219
 how

00:46:54.219 --> 00:46:54.420
 the

00:46:54.420 --> 00:46:54.780
 wind

00:46:54.780 --> 00:46:55.059
 in

00:46:55.059 --> 00:46:55.179
 our

00:46:55.179 --> 00:46:55.380
 lives

00:46:55.380 --> 00:46:55.539
 are

00:46:55.539 --> 00:46:55.880
 turning

00:46:55.880 --> 00:46:56.139
 up

00:46:56.139 --> 00:46:56.400
 the

00:46:56.400 --> 00:46:56.599
 sea

00:46:56.599 --> 00:46:56.960
 around

00:47:00.519 --> 00:47:30.519
 we

00:47:30.519 --> 00:47:31.539
 in

00:47:31.539 --> 00:47:31.679
 fact

00:47:31.679 --> 00:47:31.880
 that

00:47:31.880 --> 00:47:32.139
 little

00:47:32.139 --> 00:47:32.480
 faith

00:47:32.480 --> 00:47:32.719
 that

00:47:32.719 --> 00:47:33.219
 phrase

00:47:33.219 --> 00:47:33.440
 is

00:47:33.440 --> 00:47:33.699
 almost

00:47:33.699 --> 00:47:33.920
 like

00:47:33.920 --> 00:47:34.039
 a

00:47:34.039 --> 00:47:34.440
 refrain

00:47:34.440 --> 00:47:34.639
 that

00:47:34.639 --> 00:47:34.960
 occurs

00:47:34.960 --> 00:47:35.219
 again

00:47:35.219 --> 00:47:35.340
 and

00:47:35.340 --> 00:47:35.599
 again

00:47:35.599 --> 00:47:35.920
 throughout

00:47:35.920 --> 00:47:36.139
 the

00:47:36.139 --> 00:47:36.460
 gospel

00:47:36.460 --> 00:47:36.639
 of

00:47:36.639 --> 00:47:36.980

00:47:36.980 --> 00:47:37.820
 early

00:47:39.420 --> 00:47:39.759
 said

00:47:39.759 --> 00:47:40.000
 if

00:47:40.000 --> 00:47:40.300
 God

00:47:40.300 --> 00:47:41.559

00:48:56.840 --> 00:48:57.059
 something

00:48:57.059 --> 00:48:57.260
 that

00:48:57.260 --> 00:48:57.559
 grows

00:48:57.559 --> 00:48:58.000
 over

 time

 the

00:49:17.980 --> 00:49:18.140
 day

00:49:18.140 --> 00:49:18.320
 we

00:49:18.320 --> 00:49:18.580
 die

00:49:18.580 --> 00:49:19.960
 other

 God

00:49:21.880 --> 00:49:22.580
 testing

 our

00:49:22.880 --> 00:49:23.200
 faith

00:49:23.200 --> 00:49:23.660
 and

00:49:23.660 --> 00:49:23.820
 us

00:49:23.820 --> 00:49:24.080
 having

00:49:24.080 --> 00:49:24.240
 a

00:49:24.240 --> 00:49:24.620
 tested

00:49:24.620 --> 00:49:25.519
 genuineness

00:49:25.519 --> 00:49:25.760
 of

00:49:25.760 --> 00:49:26.120
 faith

00:49:26.120 --> 00:49:26.620
 in

00:49:26.620 --> 00:49:26.780
 our

00:49:26.780 --> 00:49:27.280
 lives

00:49:27.280 --> 00:49:29.700
 don't

00:49:29.700 --> 00:49:29.840
 be

00:49:29.840 --> 00:49:30.320
 disheartened

00:49:30.320 --> 00:49:30.460
 that

00:49:30.460 --> 00:49:30.660
 your

00:49:30.660 --> 00:49:30.960
 faith

00:49:30.960 --> 00:49:31.200
 is

00:49:31.200 --> 00:49:31.560
 little

00:49:31.560 --> 00:49:31.860
 even

00:49:31.860 --> 00:49:32.300
 the

00:49:32.300 --> 00:49:32.700
 apostles

00:49:32.700 --> 00:49:33.180
 started

00:49:33.180 --> 00:49:33.660
 exactly

00:49:33.660 --> 00:49:33.960
 there

00:49:33.960 --> 00:49:34.140
 when

00:49:34.140 --> 00:49:34.320
 their

00:49:34.320 --> 00:49:34.620
 faith

00:49:34.620 --> 00:49:34.900
 was

00:49:34.900 --> 00:49:35.240
 little

00:49:35.240 --> 00:49:38.360
 and

00:49:38.360 --> 00:49:38.700
 remember

00:49:38.700 --> 00:49:38.860
 that

00:49:38.860 --> 00:49:39.000
 it's

00:49:39.000 --> 00:49:39.220
 not

00:49:39.220 --> 00:49:39.440
 the

00:49:39.440 --> 00:49:40.120
 strength

00:49:40.120 --> 00:49:40.440
 of

00:49:40.440 --> 00:49:40.600
 our

00:49:40.600 --> 00:49:41.200
 faith

00:49:41.200 --> 00:49:41.820
 that

00:49:41.820 --> 00:49:42.340
 saves

00:49:42.340 --> 00:49:42.780
 us

00:49:42.780 --> 00:49:43.300
 but

00:49:43.300 --> 00:49:43.480
 the

00:49:43.480 --> 00:49:44.100
 strength

00:49:44.100 --> 00:49:44.640
 of

00:49:44.640 --> 00:49:44.880
 our

00:49:44.880 --> 00:49:45.260
 savior

00:49:45.260 --> 00:49:45.620
 Jesus

00:49:45.620 --> 00:49:46.160
 Christ

00:49:46.160 --> 00:49:48.960
 when

00:49:48.960 --> 00:49:49.160
 you

00:49:49.160 --> 00:49:49.360
 are

00:49:49.360 --> 00:49:49.600
 in

00:49:49.600 --> 00:49:49.840
 a

00:49:49.840 --> 00:49:50.120
 pit

00:49:50.120 --> 00:49:50.420
 of

 the

00:49:50.840 --> 00:49:51.140
 debt

00:49:51.140 --> 00:49:51.340
 of

00:49:51.340 --> 00:49:51.600
 sin

00:49:51.600 --> 00:49:51.760
 and

00:49:51.760 --> 00:49:51.940
 then

00:49:51.940 --> 00:49:52.180
 you

00:49:52.180 --> 00:49:52.660
 in

 in

00:49:55.200 --> 00:49:55.600
 faith

00:49:55.600 --> 00:49:55.920
 ask

00:49:55.920 --> 00:49:56.280
 Jesus

00:49:56.280 --> 00:49:56.500
 to

00:49:56.500 --> 00:49:56.740
 save

00:49:56.740 --> 00:49:57.019
 you

00:49:57.019 --> 00:49:57.699
 it's

00:49:57.699 --> 00:49:58.000
 not

00:49:58.000 --> 00:49:58.199
 going

00:49:58.199 --> 00:49:58.219
 to
