00:00:00.980 --> 00:00:10.820
 Well, welcome here this morning, and when I was asked to share God's Word, at first I didn't want to.

00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:15.679
 And, yeah, I was very nervous. I'm not like my son at all.

00:00:16.080 --> 00:00:22.219
 But one thing, my son, he said, just go ahead for it, Dad, and we'll be praying for you.

00:00:22.219 --> 00:00:27.280
 And usually when I see his sermon notes, they're about one page.

00:00:27.980 --> 00:00:29.839
 And he makes a sermon of it.

00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:35.179
 And so this morning, I've got four pages, so beware.

00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:40.980
 I hope you didn't put the turkey on because it's going to probably take about four hours to get through this sermon this morning.

00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:48.040
 But anyways, as we read, I would just like to first start off with prayer.

00:00:48.040 --> 00:00:50.719
 Please join me in prayer.

00:00:51.680 --> 00:00:54.340
 Our Heavenly Father, I just want to thank you for this day.

00:00:54.340 --> 00:00:58.680
 I thank you for this opportunity to share your words, Lord.

00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:08.120
 And I just pray that as I share, I just pray that you would speak through me to everyone here today.

00:01:08.340 --> 00:01:13.719
 And I just thank you for this weekend that we can celebrate thankfulness.

00:01:13.719 --> 00:01:21.459
 And I'm so thankful that you are a living God and that you live in each one of us.

00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:29.039
 And, Lord, I just pray that as we spend this next little time studying your word,

00:01:29.539 --> 00:01:33.379
 I just pray that you would just speak to us in your precious name.

00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:33.859
 Amen.

00:01:33.859 --> 00:01:42.980
 Please, I just want to start with Matthew 24, verses 1 to 14.

00:01:43.780 --> 00:01:44.840
 And it says,

00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:52.920
 Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples came up to him to call his attention to its buildings.

00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:55.579
 Do you see all these things, he asked.

00:01:55.900 --> 00:02:00.200
 I tell you the truth, not one stone here will be left on another.

00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:02.120
 Every one will be thrown down.

00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:06.600
 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately.

00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:13.879
 Tell us, they said, when will this happen and what will be the sign of your coming in the end of the age?

00:02:14.659 --> 00:02:18.080
 Jesus answered, watch out that no one deceives you.

00:02:18.340 --> 00:02:23.219
 For many will come in my name, claiming I am the Christ and will deceive many.

00:02:23.900 --> 00:02:27.540
 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars.

00:02:27.939 --> 00:02:30.000
 But see to it that you are not alarmed.

00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:31.920
 Such things must happen.

00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:33.800
 But the end is still to come.

00:02:34.480 --> 00:02:38.180
 Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom.

00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:41.480
 There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.

00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:44.480
 All these are the beginnings of birth pains.

00:02:45.219 --> 00:02:49.980
 Then you will be handed over and to be persecuted and put to death.

00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:53.240
 And you will be hated by all nations because of me.

00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:59.540
 At that time, many will turn away from the faith and will be betrayed and hate each other.

00:02:59.539 --> 00:03:03.179
 And many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.

00:03:03.179 --> 00:03:07.819
 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.

00:03:08.459 --> 00:03:11.979
 But he who stands firm to the end will be saved.

00:03:11.979 --> 00:03:18.079
 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations.

00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:20.160
 And then the end will come.

00:03:20.160 --> 00:03:26.439
 As I read that, it sounds like that's where we are today.

00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:31.520
 We are being deceived and we don't know what to believe.

00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:39.840
 And as I thought of that, I thought, you know, just looking around, you listen to the news and you see the hopelessness in people.

00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:44.219
 People are committing suicide.

00:03:44.219 --> 00:03:50.520
 And it just breaks my heart to think of what is going on in our world.

00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:57.719
 And as I thought of that, I was thinking of how can you share or what if somebody was to ask you,

00:03:58.860 --> 00:04:02.060
 what is it the hope that you have in you?

00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:07.780
 How would you share that with people that ask you that?

00:04:07.780 --> 00:04:14.920
 And as I thought of the word hope, I thought of the letters H-O-P-E.

00:04:15.819 --> 00:04:22.839
 And I would just like to share, going through that word hope, and what is the word hope stand for?

00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:23.899
 What's the meaning of it?

00:04:24.459 --> 00:04:28.620
 To desire something with confidence, expectation of its fulfillment.

00:04:28.620 --> 00:04:38.220
 So the first letter is H, and what I want to share with you is his word.

00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:48.300
 When I mention the word, the Bible or the word, what does it make you think about?

00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:51.860
 Is it a book that you have in your house?

00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:54.060
 Is it something that sits on a shelf?

00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:55.340
 Is it collecting dust?

00:04:55.339 --> 00:05:01.699
 Is it something if somebody asked you where your Bible is, would you know where it is?

00:05:01.739 --> 00:05:03.439
 Or would you have to go searching for it?

00:05:04.119 --> 00:05:05.419
 Is it collecting dust?

00:05:05.779 --> 00:05:07.579
 Or is it a well-worn Bible?

00:05:08.579 --> 00:05:20.719
 And I just wanted to see, and I did some history, and there's not much about Canadian statistics on reading the Bible.

00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:29.660
 One question I want to ask is, have you read your Bible from cover to cover?

00:05:30.840 --> 00:05:36.740
 And, you know, is it, do you pick up the Bible and read it only when you're going through trials,

00:05:36.840 --> 00:05:39.940
 and you want God to help you through that situation?

00:05:40.380 --> 00:05:44.840
 Or is it something that you study and read daily?

00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:54.319
 And this is the statistics that I found in Canada, which is, they're quite old, but it is quite startling.

00:05:55.019 --> 00:06:03.620
 The majority of Canadians, including those who identify themselves as Christian, read the Bible either seldom or never.

00:06:04.299 --> 00:06:08.439
 That's one of the grim conclusions drawn by the Canadian Bible Engagement Study,

00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:16.920
 a study conducted by the Angus Reid Forum and sponsored by the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada and the Canadian Bible Forum.

00:06:17.699 --> 00:06:25.420
 As of 2013, only 14% of Canadians read the Bible at least once a month.

00:06:26.139 --> 00:06:33.060
 That's half the percentage of the population, which was 28%, who read the Bible monthly back in 1996.

00:06:33.060 --> 00:06:46.620
 These numbers came despite the fact that as of 2011, 67% of Canadians identified themselves as Christian, according to Statistics Canada.

00:06:48.300 --> 00:06:49.939
 Isn't that pretty grim?

00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:56.180
 14%, and of that 14%, how many are actually Christians?

00:06:56.180 --> 00:07:26.160
 14% of Canadians.

00:07:26.180 --> 00:07:56.160
 15% of Canadians.

00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:56.740
 15% of Canadians.

00:07:56.740 --> 00:08:03.380
 And I often think, how many times, Cindy's, the kids have the phone and they're asking,

00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:05.400
 you know, what should we do?

00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:09.120
 And Cindy's always presenting scripture.

00:08:10.140 --> 00:08:11.480
 And do we do that?

00:08:11.980 --> 00:08:14.260
 You know, I look at this and I go, this is life.

00:08:14.840 --> 00:08:18.800
 This whole scripture entails life of all of us.

00:08:18.900 --> 00:08:20.760
 What do we go through teaching?

00:08:21.580 --> 00:08:23.560
 And each one of us, what do we look to?

00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:30.519
 Do we look to Google? Do we go to self-help books to find the answers to life?

00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:32.179
 Or do we actually go to the Bible?

00:08:32.820 --> 00:08:35.559
 Which it says here, it was God breathed.

00:08:36.659 --> 00:08:43.679
 And it's useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training.

00:08:44.259 --> 00:08:46.100
 That is life right there.

00:08:46.100 --> 00:08:53.820
 And you think of it, if you want to correct, is your first source God's word?

00:08:54.300 --> 00:08:56.879
 Or is it some other help?

00:08:57.720 --> 00:08:58.200
 Training.

00:08:58.820 --> 00:09:00.460
 We can train.

00:09:00.779 --> 00:09:02.080
 And I think of Sunday school.

00:09:02.259 --> 00:09:08.320
 We're training our kids to learn God's word, how important it is to know.

00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:11.620
 So the whole Bible is the word of God.

00:09:11.620 --> 00:09:17.039
 And everything in our life should be tested by what is written in it.

00:09:17.820 --> 00:09:23.580
 And I'd like to read Psalm 119, 105 to 112.

00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:28.379
 Please turn with me if you have your Bible with you.

00:09:41.620 --> 00:09:55.700
 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.

00:09:55.899 --> 00:10:00.340
 I have taken an oath and confirmed it, that I will follow your righteous laws.

00:10:00.620 --> 00:10:01.940
 I have suffered much.

00:10:02.560 --> 00:10:05.860
 Preserve my life, O Lord, according to your word.

00:10:05.860 --> 00:10:11.480
 Accept, O Lord, the willing praise of my mouth and teach me your laws.

00:10:11.940 --> 00:10:15.919
 Though I constantly take my life in my hands, I will not forget your law.

00:10:16.500 --> 00:10:20.659
 The wicked have set a snare for me, but I have not strayed from your precepts.

00:10:21.139 --> 00:10:23.480
 Your statutes are my heritage forever.

00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:25.759
 They are the joy of my heart.

00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:29.879
 My heart is set on keeping your decrees to the very end.

00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:38.480
 And as I read this and you think of, it says that at the start,

00:10:39.659 --> 00:10:41.860
 your word is a lamp for my feet.

00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:43.240
 Think of it in the dark.

00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:45.480
 And what does a lamp do?

00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:49.100
 It shines where the path is.

00:10:49.539 --> 00:10:55.860
 And as we think of just even last week, the kids in the hallway were on this narrow path.

00:10:55.860 --> 00:11:02.120
 And some of us adults were trying to persuade these kids to come off this path.

00:11:02.620 --> 00:11:04.659
 And you know, in life, that's the way it is.

00:11:04.779 --> 00:11:11.980
 Satan will come along and he will try to persuade you to get off the path.

00:11:12.500 --> 00:11:16.820
 But yet, if you study God's word and you know the truths that are in it,

00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:23.940
 are you easily swayed by when Satan comes along and tries to deceive you?

00:11:23.940 --> 00:11:27.100
 But the light reveals the darkness.

00:11:27.380 --> 00:11:34.700
 As we study God's word, we will be able to see clearly the evil that is present in our daily lives and in the world.

00:11:35.340 --> 00:11:39.940
 Are we willing to take a stand for God and stay on the right path?

00:11:40.380 --> 00:11:42.680
 Or are we easily swayed?

00:11:42.679 --> 00:11:49.559
 In Mark 4, 1-4, it says,

00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:56.479
 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil.

00:11:57.439 --> 00:12:00.859
 After forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.

00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:03.159
 The tempter came to him and said,

00:12:03.620 --> 00:12:07.219
 If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.

00:12:07.220 --> 00:12:08.899
 And Jesus answered,

00:12:09.379 --> 00:12:10.040
 It is written,

00:12:10.420 --> 00:12:12.240
 Man does not live on bread alone,

00:12:12.500 --> 00:12:15.360
 but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.

00:12:16.160 --> 00:12:20.500
 And I just wanted for you to turn,

00:12:20.940 --> 00:12:23.200
 let's turn to Deuteronomy 8.3.

00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:45.060
 And one thing here that I wanted to share with you is,

00:12:45.860 --> 00:12:47.600
 even Satan was tempted.

00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:54.420
 And when Satan was tempted in this particular situation, in the desert,

00:12:54.800 --> 00:12:58.320
 can you imagine that after forty days and forty nights,

00:12:58.500 --> 00:12:59.500
 what you would feel like,

00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:03.759
 I can't even imagine doing this for one day,

00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:06.259
 and how hungry I would be.

00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:09.620
 But yet, look at Jesus for forty days and forty nights,

00:13:09.740 --> 00:13:12.660
 and then Satan comes along and tempts him.

00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:15.139
 And he tempts him with, you know,

00:13:15.180 --> 00:13:16.920
 tells these stones to become food.

00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:17.919
 And what does Christ,

00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:19.699
 what's Christ's response?

00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:21.339
 It is,

00:13:21.639 --> 00:13:23.199
 Man does not live on bread alone,

00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:25.899
 but every word that comes from the mouth of God.

00:13:26.819 --> 00:13:30.539
 And if you go to Deuteronomy 8.3,

00:13:32.339 --> 00:13:39.319
 he's defending Satan by reading Scripture.

00:13:39.539 --> 00:13:41.819
 How important it is to know Scripture.

00:13:42.659 --> 00:13:45.179
 And as we read Deuteronomy 8.3,

00:13:45.179 --> 00:13:46.559
 which is written in Scripture,

00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:49.719
 and it says,

00:13:49.860 --> 00:13:51.639
 He humbled you,

00:13:51.779 --> 00:13:52.679
 causing you to hunger,

00:13:52.779 --> 00:13:54.240
 and then feeding you with manna,

00:13:54.259 --> 00:13:56.959
 which neither you nor your fathers had known,

00:13:57.419 --> 00:14:03.419
 to teach you that man does not live on bread alone,

00:14:03.819 --> 00:14:06.620
 but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.

00:14:06.620 --> 00:14:09.480
 And do we,

00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:13.940
 when Satan attempts to trick us,

00:14:13.940 --> 00:14:14.860
 to trip us up,

00:14:14.940 --> 00:14:16.720
 do we search God's word?

00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:18.560
 Do we know God's word?

00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:23.820
 Do we counter back at Satan and say,

00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:25.659
 this is what Scripture says?

00:14:25.659 --> 00:14:28.279
 And there's one situation,

00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:29.879
 and I want to,

00:14:29.959 --> 00:14:32.539
 I'm just going to leave it there for on the Matthew 4,

00:14:32.679 --> 00:14:34.519
 Jesus was tempted two other times,

00:14:34.659 --> 00:14:37.299
 and I'm going to leave you with some homework.

00:14:38.100 --> 00:14:39.439
 And the other two times,

00:14:39.579 --> 00:14:44.919
 did Christ mention God's,

00:14:45.019 --> 00:14:46.000
 from God's word,

00:14:46.100 --> 00:14:46.500
 did he,

00:14:47.219 --> 00:14:50.360
 when Satan tempted him in the next two situations?

00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:51.379
 And I'll,

00:14:51.779 --> 00:14:53.320
 that'll be your homework for this week.

00:14:55.060 --> 00:14:56.060
 Take God's word,

00:14:56.200 --> 00:14:56.779
 study it,

00:14:57.159 --> 00:15:00.700
 and those next two scenarios of where God was tempted,

00:15:01.300 --> 00:15:03.680
 and did he use God's word to,

00:15:03.680 --> 00:15:06.460
 to go against Satan?

00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:08.539
 That'll be your homework,

00:15:08.659 --> 00:15:10.600
 and I'll maybe ask you that next week.

00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:11.700
 Anyways,

00:15:12.919 --> 00:15:14.920
 as you can see,

00:15:15.019 --> 00:15:17.740
 Jesus was able to resist all the devil's temptations,

00:15:17.740 --> 00:15:19.180
 because he was not only,

00:15:19.720 --> 00:15:21.919
 it was that he not only knew Scripture,

00:15:22.259 --> 00:15:24.360
 but he also obeyed what it says.

00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:25.740
 We will be tempted,

00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:27.399
 and we'll need to know Scripture,

00:15:27.879 --> 00:15:29.480
 so as not to be deceived.

00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:32.980
 I once heard a guy say that,

00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:34.080
 you know,

00:15:34.139 --> 00:15:35.320
 if God took the time,

00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:38.560
 and I'll just maybe read it here,

00:15:38.639 --> 00:15:39.960
 if God has taken the time,

00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:41.000
 through his Holy Spirit,

00:15:41.460 --> 00:15:43.240
 to reveal his person and plan,

00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:44.180
 to certain believers,

00:15:44.560 --> 00:15:47.320
 who wrote down his message for his people,

00:15:47.740 --> 00:15:50.180
 should we not take time to read his word.

00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:53.539
 We need to be married.

00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:56.100
 We need to be intimate in God's word.

00:15:57.940 --> 00:15:58.419
 And,

00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:01.159
 and I think it's so important that,

00:16:01.779 --> 00:16:03.180
 as we read God's word,

00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:04.000
 it's our,

00:16:04.180 --> 00:16:08.680
 it's our survival guide.

00:16:09.180 --> 00:16:10.360
 And I trust that,

00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:11.740
 that you will,

00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:14.680
 if you're not into a Bible plan,

00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:16.399
 and you're not reading God's word,

00:16:16.739 --> 00:16:18.259
 I would urge you,

00:16:18.599 --> 00:16:18.879
 to,

00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:20.439
 to get to,

00:16:20.620 --> 00:16:22.799
 studying God's word daily.

00:16:24.879 --> 00:16:25.979
 The word hope,

00:16:26.199 --> 00:16:27.379
 that was the H,

00:16:28.259 --> 00:16:28.699
 O,

00:16:29.099 --> 00:16:29.579
 is,

00:16:30.219 --> 00:16:31.259
 obedience.

00:16:32.479 --> 00:16:34.039
 And I would just like to read,

00:16:34.179 --> 00:16:34.899
 Deuteronomy,

00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:35.839
 26,

00:16:36.179 --> 00:16:36.719
 16,

00:16:36.779 --> 00:16:37.279
 and 19.

00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:38.500
 19,

00:17:03.139 --> 00:17:03.899
 right?

00:17:03.899 --> 00:17:06.099
 Excuse me.

00:17:06.099 --> 00:17:19.319
 The Lord your God commands you this day to follow these decrees and laws.

00:17:19.879 --> 00:17:23.539
 Carefully observe them with all your heart and with all your soul.

00:17:24.059 --> 00:17:29.379
 You have declared this day that the Lord is your God and that you will walk in his ways,

00:17:29.379 --> 00:17:34.819
 that you will keep his decrees, commands and laws, and that you will obey him.

00:17:34.819 --> 00:17:41.619
 And the Lord has declared this day that you are his people, his treasured possession, as he promised,

00:17:42.139 --> 00:17:44.079
 and that you are to keep all his commands.

00:17:44.740 --> 00:17:51.500
 He has declared that he will set you in praise, fame and honor, high above all the nations.

00:17:52.079 --> 00:18:00.299
 He has made, he has made, and that you will be a people holy to the Lord your God, as he promised.

00:18:00.299 --> 00:18:06.019
 And in here I just wrote, look at the whole heart of devotion here.

00:18:06.879 --> 00:18:09.000
 And what did it say?

00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:13.119
 That you would keep his decrees, commands and laws, and that you will obey.

00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:17.680
 It's one thing to know God's word, but do you actually obey it?

00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:23.060
 And in Joshua 1, 8, 9, it says,

00:18:23.060 --> 00:18:25.980
 Do not let this book of the law depart from your mouth.

00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:32.320
 Meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it.

00:18:32.840 --> 00:18:35.220
 Then you will be prosperous and successful.

00:18:35.920 --> 00:18:37.299
 Have I not commanded you?

00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:39.340
 Be strong and courageous.

00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:41.060
 Do not be terrified.

00:18:41.740 --> 00:18:42.720
 Do not be discouraged.

00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:46.339
 For the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.

00:18:47.380 --> 00:18:53.279
 And as I read through this, it was like, can you imagine?

00:18:53.500 --> 00:18:57.920
 It says, do not let this book of the law depart from your mouth.

00:18:58.480 --> 00:19:01.140
 You know, it's a book that you would study.

00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:02.019
 You will know.

00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:05.640
 And this really touched me.

00:19:05.740 --> 00:19:08.140
 It was meditate on it day and night.

00:19:08.539 --> 00:19:11.059
 Do we meditate on God's word day and night?

00:19:11.059 --> 00:19:14.859
 Is it something that is on your mind continuously?

00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:21.759
 Or has it been a book that you just only read occasionally,

00:19:22.299 --> 00:19:26.159
 as the rest of the statistics shows?

00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:29.599
 And in it, it says,

00:19:29.980 --> 00:19:33.859
 To be careful to do everything written in it.

00:19:33.859 --> 00:19:38.319
 It's a book that we need to know from cover to cover,

00:19:38.479 --> 00:19:41.419
 so that we can know everything that is in it.

00:19:43.159 --> 00:19:45.139
 And it says, be strong and courageous.

00:19:45.500 --> 00:19:48.579
 And I looked at that and I thought, be strong and courageous.

00:19:48.719 --> 00:19:51.500
 The task would be, it's not going to be easy.

00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:55.779
 We need to be constantly reading and constantly studying God's word.

00:19:55.779 --> 00:20:03.839
 In 1 Samuel 15, 22, it's, and just the story of that.

00:20:04.180 --> 00:20:14.759
 And this is a story of King Saul when he was to go and conquer the Amalekites.

00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:21.460
 And when he went and, you know, he went and he conquered them.

00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:24.640
 But the Lord had, through Samuel,

00:20:24.759 --> 00:20:26.720
 had told him that he was supposed to conquer everything

00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:30.879
 and destroy everything from animals to people

00:20:30.879 --> 00:20:35.259
 and destroy everything, not bring anything back.

00:20:35.559 --> 00:20:36.759
 And what did Saul do?

00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:40.339
 He, they kept some of the choice animals

00:20:40.339 --> 00:20:42.159
 and they brought them back.

00:20:43.099 --> 00:20:47.619
 And this is what 1 Samuel 15, 22 says.

00:20:47.720 --> 00:20:48.980
 But Samuel replied,

00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:52.959
 Does the Lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices

00:20:52.959 --> 00:20:56.439
 as much as in obeying the voice of the Lord?

00:20:56.980 --> 00:20:59.179
 To obey is better than sacrifice

00:20:59.179 --> 00:21:02.099
 and to heed is better than the fat of rams.

00:21:02.899 --> 00:21:05.819
 You know, God was grieved that Saul

00:21:05.819 --> 00:21:08.419
 didn't obey him totally.

00:21:08.420 --> 00:21:14.640
 You know, and the sacrifice that Saul wanted to do,

00:21:14.740 --> 00:21:16.259
 his heart was not right in it.

00:21:16.400 --> 00:21:22.580
 It wasn't, it was a false worship of what Saul wanted to do.

00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:24.580
 But he grieved God that he didn't obey.

00:21:25.340 --> 00:21:28.519
 And how many times do we grieve God

00:21:28.519 --> 00:21:31.340
 because we don't obey what is written in his word?

00:21:32.860 --> 00:21:37.380
 Matthew 7, 21 to 27 says,

00:21:38.420 --> 00:21:52.720
 Not everyone who says to me,

00:21:52.820 --> 00:21:54.960
 Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven,

00:21:54.960 --> 00:21:58.980
 but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

00:21:59.560 --> 00:22:01.539
 Many will say to me on that day,

00:22:01.880 --> 00:22:04.720
 Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name

00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:08.100
 and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?

00:22:08.819 --> 00:22:10.200
 Then I will tell them plainly,

00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:13.519
 I never knew you away from me, evil doers.

00:22:14.380 --> 00:22:18.259
 Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine

00:22:18.259 --> 00:22:21.039
 and puts them into practice is like a wise man

00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:23.039
 who built his house on a rock.

00:22:23.559 --> 00:22:25.819
 The rain came down, the streams rose,

00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:28.680
 and the winds blew and beat against that house.

00:22:29.100 --> 00:22:33.319
 Yet it did not fall because it had a foundation on the rock.

00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:36.279
 But everyone who hears these words of mine

00:22:36.279 --> 00:22:38.339
 and does not put them into practice

00:22:38.339 --> 00:22:41.740
 is like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.

00:22:42.059 --> 00:22:44.339
 The rain came down, the streams rose,

00:22:44.599 --> 00:22:47.279
 and the winds blew and beat against the house.

00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:49.819
 In this one,

00:22:50.679 --> 00:22:56.819
 what does it mean to do the will of my Father?

00:22:56.819 --> 00:23:01.539
 Obedience to his will is the test of true faith in Christ.

00:23:02.119 --> 00:23:03.879
 When a person is truly born again,

00:23:04.200 --> 00:23:06.659
 he has the Spirit of God living within him,

00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:10.579
 and the Spirit enables him to know and do the will of God.

00:23:11.220 --> 00:23:14.480
 We must stop with only hearing God's Word.

00:23:15.259 --> 00:23:17.079
 Our hearing should result in doing.

00:23:17.939 --> 00:23:19.359
 Are you willing to be obedient,

00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:21.480
 or do you want to ignore?

00:23:21.480 --> 00:23:25.860
 Acts 5, 29-32

00:23:25.860 --> 00:23:40.140
 Peter and the other apostles replied,

00:23:40.519 --> 00:23:42.819
 We must obey God rather than men.

00:23:43.259 --> 00:23:46.120
 The God of our fathers raised Jesus from the dead,

00:23:46.319 --> 00:23:48.480
 whom you have killed by hanging him on a tree.

00:23:48.480 --> 00:23:53.920
 God exalted him to his own right hand as prince and savior,

00:23:54.220 --> 00:23:57.539
 that he might give repentance and forgiveness of sins to Israel.

00:23:58.059 --> 00:24:00.559
 We are witnesses of these things,

00:24:00.740 --> 00:24:02.279
 and so is the Holy Spirit,

00:24:02.700 --> 00:24:05.200
 whom God has given to those who obey him.

00:24:06.079 --> 00:24:09.059
 It's our imperative duty that we should listen.

00:24:09.440 --> 00:24:11.360
 We should obey God.

00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:15.319
 And Genesis 6,

00:24:17.500 --> 00:24:25.039
 it's a story of Noah.

00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:33.779
 And I'd like to read 9-22.

00:24:34.619 --> 00:24:36.500
 This is the account of Noah.

00:24:36.500 --> 00:24:38.980
 Noah was a righteous man,

00:24:39.259 --> 00:24:41.799
 blameless among the people of his time.

00:24:42.200 --> 00:24:43.420
 And he walked with God.

00:24:44.019 --> 00:24:45.039
 Noah had three sons,

00:24:45.180 --> 00:24:46.940
 Shem, Ham, and Dapheth.

00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:50.000
 Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight

00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:51.180
 and was full of violence.

00:24:51.880 --> 00:24:54.380
 God saw how corrupt the earth had become,

00:24:54.819 --> 00:24:57.259
 for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways.

00:24:57.599 --> 00:24:58.619
 So God said to Noah,

00:24:58.720 --> 00:25:01.299
 I am going to put an end to all people,

00:25:01.680 --> 00:25:04.240
 for the earth is filled with violence because of them.

00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:06.539
 I am surely going to destroy them,

00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:08.460
 both them and the earth.

00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:11.120
 So make yourself an ark of cypress wood.

00:25:11.660 --> 00:25:14.180
 Make rooms in it and coat it with pitch,

00:25:14.480 --> 00:25:15.299
 inside and out.

00:25:15.740 --> 00:25:17.220
 This is how you are to build it.

00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:20.319
 The ark is to be 450 feet long,

00:25:20.799 --> 00:25:21.960
 75 feet wide,

00:25:22.059 --> 00:25:23.359
 and 45 feet high.

00:25:24.000 --> 00:25:25.120
 Make a roof for it

00:25:25.120 --> 00:25:26.259
 and finish the ark

00:25:26.259 --> 00:25:28.799
 to within 18 inches of the top.

00:25:29.359 --> 00:25:31.099
 Put a door on the side of the ark

00:25:31.099 --> 00:25:33.720
 and make lower, middle, and upper decks.

00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:36.859
 I'm going to bring floodwaters on the earth

00:25:36.859 --> 00:25:39.380
 to destroy all life under the heavens,

00:25:39.880 --> 00:25:42.480
 every creature that has breath of life in it.

00:25:42.980 --> 00:25:44.599
 Everything on earth will perish,

00:25:45.019 --> 00:25:47.279
 but I will establish my covenant with you

00:25:47.279 --> 00:25:48.660
 and you will enter the ark,

00:25:49.180 --> 00:25:50.859
 you and your sons and your wives

00:25:50.859 --> 00:25:53.720
 and your sons' wives with you.

00:25:54.259 --> 00:25:55.839
 You are to bring into the ark

00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:57.559
 two of all living creatures,

00:25:57.680 --> 00:25:58.440
 male and female,

00:25:58.740 --> 00:26:00.599
 to keep them alive with you,

00:26:01.079 --> 00:26:02.460
 two of every kind of bird

00:26:02.460 --> 00:26:03.539
 and every kind of animal

00:26:03.539 --> 00:26:04.720
 and every kind of creature

00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:06.640
 that moves along the ground

00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:09.180
 will come to you to be kept alive.

00:26:10.079 --> 00:26:12.380
 You are to take every kind of food

00:26:12.380 --> 00:26:13.440
 that is to be eaten

00:26:13.440 --> 00:26:17.600
 and store it away as food for you

00:26:17.600 --> 00:26:18.460
 and for them.

00:26:19.460 --> 00:26:20.559
 Noah did everything

00:26:20.559 --> 00:26:22.819
 just as the God commanded him.

00:26:22.819 --> 00:26:25.179
 Isn't it something that

00:26:25.179 --> 00:26:28.740
 it took Noah over 100 years

00:26:28.740 --> 00:26:30.919
 to build this ark

00:26:30.919 --> 00:26:32.639
 and he listened to God

00:26:32.639 --> 00:26:34.059
 and he listened to them

00:26:34.059 --> 00:26:35.200
 specifics.

00:26:35.659 --> 00:26:36.859
 He listened to the specifics.

00:26:36.859 --> 00:26:39.019
 So,

00:26:39.019 --> 00:26:41.259
 so,

00:26:41.819 --> 00:26:42.859
 in hope,

00:26:43.159 --> 00:26:44.740
 H was his word,

00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:45.819
 O was obedience,

00:26:46.639 --> 00:26:47.539
 P is prayer

00:26:47.539 --> 00:26:49.639
 and prayer is so important.

00:26:50.099 --> 00:26:51.359
 If you look at prayer,

00:26:51.559 --> 00:26:52.699
 it goes hand in hand

00:26:52.699 --> 00:26:54.559
 with reading God's word

00:26:54.559 --> 00:26:56.819
 and in Daniel 6.10,

00:26:57.379 --> 00:26:58.779
 it says,

00:26:58.779 --> 00:27:13.460
 Now,

00:27:13.539 --> 00:27:14.420
 when Daniel learned

00:27:14.420 --> 00:27:15.119
 that the decree

00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:16.059
 had been published,

00:27:16.259 --> 00:27:16.879
 he went home

00:27:16.879 --> 00:27:18.740
 to the upstairs room

00:27:18.740 --> 00:27:19.799
 where the windows opened

00:27:19.799 --> 00:27:20.720
 towards Jerusalem.

00:27:21.379 --> 00:27:22.279
 Three times a day,

00:27:22.399 --> 00:27:23.720
 he got down on his knees

00:27:23.720 --> 00:27:24.680
 and prayed,

00:27:25.259 --> 00:27:26.700
 giving thanks to his God

00:27:26.700 --> 00:27:28.660
 just as he has done before.

00:27:28.779 --> 00:27:31.720
 Daniel has been

00:27:31.720 --> 00:27:32.420
 one of those

00:27:32.420 --> 00:27:35.000
 people in the Bible

00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:36.240
 that I just admire.

00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:36.879
 You know,

00:27:37.019 --> 00:27:39.059
 Daniel's a man,

00:27:39.299 --> 00:27:41.099
 when you look at this situation,

00:27:41.299 --> 00:27:42.740
 he still didn't

00:27:42.740 --> 00:27:43.639
 quit praying

00:27:43.639 --> 00:27:45.579
 and he not only prayed

00:27:45.579 --> 00:27:46.160
 once a day,

00:27:46.240 --> 00:27:46.779
 but he prayed

00:27:46.779 --> 00:27:47.779
 three times a day.

00:27:48.700 --> 00:27:49.139
 So,

00:27:49.420 --> 00:27:50.740
 how many times

00:27:50.740 --> 00:27:51.359
 do you guys,

00:27:51.500 --> 00:27:52.299
 do we pray

00:27:52.299 --> 00:27:53.940
 and how important

00:27:53.940 --> 00:27:55.139
 is it in our lives?

00:27:56.440 --> 00:27:58.740
 Matthew 6.9-13,

00:27:58.779 --> 00:28:02.319
 is our Lord's Prayer

00:28:02.319 --> 00:28:03.579
 and Jesus

00:28:03.579 --> 00:28:06.039
 taught us

00:28:06.039 --> 00:28:07.139
 how we should pray

00:28:07.139 --> 00:28:08.480
 and

00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:10.099
 from

00:28:10.099 --> 00:28:12.099
 Matthew 6.9-13,

00:28:12.299 --> 00:28:12.599
 it says,

00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:13.519
 This then is how

00:28:13.519 --> 00:28:14.259
 you should pray,

00:28:14.859 --> 00:28:15.599
 our Father

00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:16.539
 in heaven.

00:28:17.220 --> 00:28:18.399
 Hallowed be your name.

00:28:18.779 --> 00:28:19.839
 Your kingdom come,

00:28:20.220 --> 00:28:21.099
 your will be done

00:28:21.099 --> 00:28:21.519
 on earth

00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:22.399
 as it is in heaven.

00:28:22.839 --> 00:28:24.000
 Give us this day

00:28:24.000 --> 00:28:24.980
 our daily bread.

00:28:25.139 --> 00:28:26.180
 Forgive us our debts

00:28:26.180 --> 00:28:27.880
 as we also have

00:28:27.880 --> 00:28:28.680
 forgiven those,

00:28:29.259 --> 00:28:30.299
 forgiven our debtors.

00:28:30.560 --> 00:28:31.519
 And lead us not

00:28:31.519 --> 00:28:32.380
 into temptation,

00:28:32.880 --> 00:28:33.779
 but deliver us

00:28:33.779 --> 00:28:34.759
 from the evil one.

00:28:35.160 --> 00:28:36.360
 For thine is the kingdom,

00:28:36.539 --> 00:28:37.600
 the power and the glory

00:28:37.600 --> 00:28:38.940
 forever and ever.

00:28:39.279 --> 00:28:39.720
 Amen.

00:28:40.720 --> 00:28:41.080
 So,

00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:42.560
 when we even look at

00:28:42.560 --> 00:28:43.580
 prayer,

00:28:43.900 --> 00:28:44.440
 it's,

00:28:44.440 --> 00:28:47.940
 Jesus took time

00:28:47.940 --> 00:28:48.980
 to show us

00:28:48.980 --> 00:28:49.559
 in his word

00:28:49.559 --> 00:28:50.500
 how we should pray.

00:28:51.299 --> 00:28:53.279
 In Luke 5.15-16,

00:28:54.279 --> 00:28:56.080
 yet the news spread

00:28:56.080 --> 00:28:57.120
 about him

00:28:57.120 --> 00:28:58.279
 all the more.

00:28:58.480 --> 00:28:59.220
 So the crowds

00:28:59.220 --> 00:28:59.720
 of the people

00:28:59.720 --> 00:29:00.759
 came to hear him

00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:01.920
 and to be healed

00:29:01.920 --> 00:29:02.640
 of their sickness.

00:29:03.360 --> 00:29:03.900
 But Jesus

00:29:03.900 --> 00:29:05.100
 often withdrew

00:29:05.100 --> 00:29:07.100
 to a lonely place

00:29:07.100 --> 00:29:08.440
 and prayed.

00:29:09.640 --> 00:29:10.080
 You know,

00:29:10.120 --> 00:29:10.880
 through the busyness

00:29:10.880 --> 00:29:11.380
 of life,

00:29:11.380 --> 00:29:12.620
 do we take time

00:29:12.620 --> 00:29:14.580
 to draw

00:29:14.580 --> 00:29:16.680
 to a place

00:29:16.680 --> 00:29:17.720
 where we can get

00:29:17.720 --> 00:29:19.180
 by ourselves

00:29:19.180 --> 00:29:19.880
 with God.

00:29:21.080 --> 00:29:21.580
 And you know,

00:29:21.800 --> 00:29:22.220
 we are,

00:29:22.540 --> 00:29:23.680
 we live in a generation

00:29:23.680 --> 00:29:25.060
 where we are so busy

00:29:25.060 --> 00:29:26.140
 and it,

00:29:26.660 --> 00:29:27.120
 and I guess

00:29:27.120 --> 00:29:28.340
 even like this morning,

00:29:29.200 --> 00:29:30.540
 Dr. David Jeremiah

00:29:30.540 --> 00:29:31.660
 talked about that,

00:29:32.140 --> 00:29:32.900
 to get away

00:29:32.900 --> 00:29:33.360
 to,

00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:34.440
 to that

00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:35.760
 solemn place

00:29:35.760 --> 00:29:36.820
 where we can spend time

00:29:36.820 --> 00:29:37.540
 with our Lord.

00:29:37.539 --> 00:29:38.859
 And,

00:29:38.859 --> 00:29:39.119
 uh,

00:29:40.519 --> 00:29:40.980
 um,

00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:44.980
 Luke 6.12

00:29:44.980 --> 00:29:45.379
 is,

00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:46.259
 is one that,

00:29:46.799 --> 00:29:47.460
 uh,

00:29:48.059 --> 00:29:49.720
 is,

00:29:49.920 --> 00:29:50.159
 uh,

00:29:50.680 --> 00:29:52.139
 you look at this situation,

00:29:52.740 --> 00:29:54.119
 how many times

00:29:54.119 --> 00:29:54.680
 when Jesus

00:29:54.680 --> 00:29:55.399
 got away

00:29:55.399 --> 00:29:56.059
 to pray

00:29:56.059 --> 00:29:57.639
 and,

00:29:57.639 --> 00:29:58.000
 uh,

00:29:58.740 --> 00:30:01.480
 and in Luke 6.

00:30:01.480 --> 00:30:01.599
 Luke 6.

00:30:01.599 --> 00:30:09.519
 verse 12.

00:30:10.139 --> 00:30:11.279
 One of those days,

00:30:11.379 --> 00:30:12.359
 Jesus went out

00:30:12.359 --> 00:30:13.359
 to a mountainside

00:30:13.359 --> 00:30:13.939
 to pray

00:30:13.939 --> 00:30:15.480
 and spent the night

00:30:15.480 --> 00:30:16.679
 praying to God.

00:30:18.179 --> 00:30:19.159
 And I thought,

00:30:19.279 --> 00:30:19.679
 you know,

00:30:20.059 --> 00:30:20.919
 isn't that something?

00:30:21.039 --> 00:30:21.679
 All night,

00:30:21.879 --> 00:30:22.679
 how many of us

00:30:22.679 --> 00:30:23.240
 have spent,

00:30:23.240 --> 00:30:24.559
 you know,

00:30:25.859 --> 00:30:27.240
 that many hours

00:30:27.240 --> 00:30:27.899
 in prayer?

00:30:28.699 --> 00:30:29.119
 And I thought,

00:30:29.259 --> 00:30:29.379
 boy,

00:30:29.459 --> 00:30:29.959
 that's just,

00:30:30.039 --> 00:30:30.219
 uh,

00:30:30.220 --> 00:30:31.819
 awesome that he spent

00:30:31.819 --> 00:30:32.460
 all night.

00:30:33.460 --> 00:30:34.039
 You know,

00:30:34.059 --> 00:30:34.200
 and,

00:30:34.200 --> 00:30:36.059
 and when you read

00:30:36.059 --> 00:30:37.039
 further into this

00:30:37.039 --> 00:30:38.039
 situation,

00:30:38.039 --> 00:30:39.220
 it was before,

00:30:39.220 --> 00:30:40.240
 uh,

00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:41.940
 Jesus chose

00:30:41.940 --> 00:30:43.019
 his 12 disciples.

00:30:43.600 --> 00:30:44.799
 So he spent the night

00:30:44.799 --> 00:30:45.299
 in prayer.

00:30:46.259 --> 00:30:46.480
 You know,

00:30:46.539 --> 00:30:47.620
 do we take time

00:30:47.620 --> 00:30:48.480
 even to pray

00:30:48.480 --> 00:30:49.819
 for those big issues

00:30:49.819 --> 00:30:51.279
 in our life

00:30:51.279 --> 00:30:52.299
 that,

00:30:52.299 --> 00:30:53.579
 um,

00:30:54.140 --> 00:30:55.259
 affect us?

00:30:55.640 --> 00:30:56.059
 Do we

00:30:56.059 --> 00:30:57.420
 take the time

00:30:57.420 --> 00:30:58.799
 or do we just

00:30:58.799 --> 00:31:00.339
 continue to go busy

00:31:00.339 --> 00:31:01.299
 and we take it

00:31:01.299 --> 00:31:01.859
 for granted,

00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:03.159
 spend five minutes

00:31:03.159 --> 00:31:03.559
 praying

00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:06.159
 and expect our Lord

00:31:06.159 --> 00:31:06.559
 to,

00:31:06.659 --> 00:31:08.259
 to help us.

00:31:09.299 --> 00:31:09.960
 And

00:31:09.960 --> 00:31:12.519
 the next,

00:31:12.680 --> 00:31:13.039
 uh,

00:31:13.039 --> 00:31:14.039
 portion of scripture

00:31:14.039 --> 00:31:14.740
 that I wanted

00:31:14.740 --> 00:31:15.740
 to share with you

00:31:15.740 --> 00:31:16.159
 is

00:31:16.159 --> 00:31:18.359
 the whole,

00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:19.039
 uh,

00:31:19.680 --> 00:31:20.720
 chapter of verse

00:31:20.720 --> 00:31:21.559
 of John,

00:31:21.740 --> 00:31:22.039
 uh,

00:31:22.619 --> 00:31:23.740
 chapter 17.

00:31:23.740 --> 00:31:25.559
 And in these,

00:31:26.299 --> 00:31:27.140
 this here,

00:31:27.859 --> 00:31:28.720
 Jesus prays

00:31:28.720 --> 00:31:29.460
 for himself,

00:31:30.099 --> 00:31:30.680
 he prays

00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:31.539
 for his disciples,

00:31:32.039 --> 00:31:33.279
 and he prays

00:31:33.279 --> 00:31:34.720
 for our future,

00:31:35.059 --> 00:31:36.099
 the future believers.

00:31:36.980 --> 00:31:38.519
 And as I read this,

00:31:38.579 --> 00:31:39.339
 it just touched

00:31:39.339 --> 00:31:39.880
 my heart

00:31:39.880 --> 00:31:40.680
 to think of

00:31:40.680 --> 00:31:42.720
 Jesus really

00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:43.579
 cared for us

00:31:43.579 --> 00:31:45.620
 and how important

00:31:45.620 --> 00:31:46.720
 it is to pray.

00:31:47.720 --> 00:31:48.460
 And I just,

00:31:48.519 --> 00:31:48.759
 uh,

00:31:48.759 --> 00:31:49.700
 wanted to read

00:31:49.700 --> 00:31:50.900
 this whole chapter

00:31:50.900 --> 00:31:51.500
 to you.

00:31:51.500 --> 00:31:53.440
 After Jesus said

00:31:53.440 --> 00:31:53.700
 this,

00:31:53.740 --> 00:31:54.559
 he looked towards

00:31:54.559 --> 00:31:55.759
 heaven and prayed,

00:31:56.559 --> 00:31:56.839
 Father,

00:31:56.980 --> 00:31:57.980
 the time has come.

00:31:58.420 --> 00:31:59.420
 Glorify your son

00:31:59.420 --> 00:32:00.039
 that your son

00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:01.079
 may glorify you.

00:32:01.660 --> 00:32:02.400
 For you granted

00:32:02.400 --> 00:32:03.119
 him authority

00:32:03.119 --> 00:32:04.200
 over all people

00:32:04.200 --> 00:32:05.279
 that he might

00:32:05.279 --> 00:32:06.299
 give eternal life

00:32:06.299 --> 00:32:06.900
 to those

00:32:06.900 --> 00:32:07.819
 who have given him.

00:32:08.960 --> 00:32:09.559
 Now,

00:32:09.680 --> 00:32:10.920
 this is eternal life

00:32:10.920 --> 00:32:12.099
 that they may know

00:32:12.099 --> 00:32:12.519
 you,

00:32:13.119 --> 00:32:14.559
 the only true God

00:32:14.559 --> 00:32:15.759
 and Jesus Christ

00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:16.519
 whom you have,

00:32:16.599 --> 00:32:17.960
 whom you have sent.

00:32:18.319 --> 00:32:19.039
 I have brought

00:32:19.039 --> 00:32:20.079
 you glory on earth

00:32:20.079 --> 00:32:21.299
 by completing

00:32:21.299 --> 00:32:21.759
 the work

00:32:21.759 --> 00:32:22.299
 you gave me

00:32:22.299 --> 00:32:22.779
 to do.

00:32:23.259 --> 00:32:23.839
 And now,

00:32:23.960 --> 00:32:24.240
 Father,

00:32:24.379 --> 00:32:25.099
 glorify me

00:32:25.099 --> 00:32:26.039
 in your presence

00:32:26.039 --> 00:32:27.099
 with the glory

00:32:27.099 --> 00:32:28.199
 I have with you

00:32:28.199 --> 00:32:29.259
 before the world

00:32:29.259 --> 00:32:29.759
 began.

00:32:30.859 --> 00:32:32.199
 And then in verse 6,

00:32:32.279 --> 00:32:33.379
 Jesus prays

00:32:33.379 --> 00:32:34.240
 for his disciples.

00:32:35.019 --> 00:32:36.139
 I have revealed

00:32:36.139 --> 00:32:37.279
 you to those

00:32:37.279 --> 00:32:38.659
 whom you gave me

00:32:38.659 --> 00:32:39.500
 out of the world.

00:32:40.059 --> 00:32:40.960
 They were yours,

00:32:41.099 --> 00:32:42.079
 you gave them to me,

00:32:42.139 --> 00:32:42.759
 and they have

00:32:42.759 --> 00:32:44.179
 obeyed your word.

00:32:44.859 --> 00:32:46.139
 Now they know

00:32:46.139 --> 00:32:46.919
 that everything

00:32:46.919 --> 00:32:47.859
 you have given me

00:32:47.859 --> 00:32:48.899
 comes from you.

00:32:48.900 --> 00:32:50.340
 for I gave them

00:32:50.340 --> 00:32:50.960
 the words

00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:51.720
 you gave me,

00:32:51.900 --> 00:32:53.300
 and they accepted them.

00:32:53.780 --> 00:32:54.820
 They knew with certainty

00:32:54.820 --> 00:32:56.320
 that I came from you,

00:32:56.680 --> 00:32:57.560
 and they believed

00:32:57.560 --> 00:32:58.840
 that you sent me.

00:32:59.380 --> 00:33:00.500
 I pray for them.

00:33:00.820 --> 00:33:01.640
 I am not praying

00:33:01.640 --> 00:33:02.300
 for the world,

00:33:02.680 --> 00:33:03.420
 but for those

00:33:03.420 --> 00:33:04.480
 you have given me,

00:33:04.940 --> 00:33:06.240
 for they are yours.

00:33:06.940 --> 00:33:08.400
 All I have is yours,

00:33:08.540 --> 00:33:09.940
 and all you have

00:33:09.940 --> 00:33:10.600
 is mine.

00:33:11.240 --> 00:33:12.420
 And glory has come

00:33:12.420 --> 00:33:13.500
 to me through them.

00:33:14.080 --> 00:33:14.940
 I will remain

00:33:14.940 --> 00:33:15.500
 in the world

00:33:15.500 --> 00:33:16.240
 no longer,

00:33:16.700 --> 00:33:17.680
 but they are still

00:33:17.680 --> 00:33:18.380
 in the world,

00:33:18.380 --> 00:33:19.519
 and I am coming

00:33:19.519 --> 00:33:20.060
 to you.

00:33:20.660 --> 00:33:21.460
 Holy Father,

00:33:21.620 --> 00:33:22.180
 protect them

00:33:22.180 --> 00:33:22.860
 by the power

00:33:22.860 --> 00:33:23.620
 of your name,

00:33:23.960 --> 00:33:25.100
 the name you gave me,

00:33:25.580 --> 00:33:26.700
 so that they may

00:33:26.700 --> 00:33:27.440
 be one

00:33:27.440 --> 00:33:29.039
 as we are one.

00:33:29.880 --> 00:33:31.180
 While I was with them,

00:33:31.460 --> 00:33:33.180
 I protected them

00:33:33.180 --> 00:33:34.460
 and kept them safe

00:33:34.460 --> 00:33:36.320
 by the name you gave me.

00:33:36.900 --> 00:33:37.900
 None has been lost

00:33:37.900 --> 00:33:38.900
 except the one

00:33:38.900 --> 00:33:40.480
 doomed to destruction,

00:33:40.960 --> 00:33:41.900
 so that scripture

00:33:41.900 --> 00:33:42.860
 would be fulfilled.

00:33:43.500 --> 00:33:44.180
 I am coming

00:33:44.180 --> 00:33:44.960
 to you now,

00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:46.500
 but I say these things

00:33:46.500 --> 00:33:47.279
 while I am still

00:33:47.279 --> 00:33:48.039
 in the world,

00:33:48.380 --> 00:33:50.000
 so that they may have

00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:51.259
 the full measure

00:33:51.259 --> 00:33:52.039
 of my joy

00:33:52.039 --> 00:33:53.319
 within them.

00:33:53.779 --> 00:33:54.600
 I have given them

00:33:54.600 --> 00:33:55.299
 your word,

00:33:55.600 --> 00:33:56.220
 and the world

00:33:56.220 --> 00:33:57.240
 has hated them,

00:33:57.660 --> 00:33:58.600
 for they are not

00:33:58.600 --> 00:33:59.380
 of the world

00:33:59.380 --> 00:34:00.400
 any more

00:34:00.400 --> 00:34:01.079
 than I am

00:34:01.079 --> 00:34:02.140
 of the world.

00:34:02.680 --> 00:34:03.779
 My prayer is not

00:34:03.779 --> 00:34:04.640
 that you take them

00:34:04.640 --> 00:34:05.380
 out of the world,

00:34:05.860 --> 00:34:07.100
 but that you protect them

00:34:07.100 --> 00:34:08.079
 from the evil one.

00:34:08.619 --> 00:34:09.400
 They are not

00:34:09.400 --> 00:34:10.039
 of the world,

00:34:10.260 --> 00:34:11.079
 even as I am

00:34:11.079 --> 00:34:11.659
 not of it.

00:34:12.380 --> 00:34:13.179
 Sanctify them

00:34:13.179 --> 00:34:13.980
 by the truth.

00:34:14.159 --> 00:34:15.460
 Your word is truth.

00:34:16.159 --> 00:34:17.000
 As you send me

00:34:17.000 --> 00:34:17.679
 into the world,

00:34:17.759 --> 00:34:18.579
 I have sent them

00:34:18.579 --> 00:34:19.399
 into the world.

00:34:20.179 --> 00:34:20.919
 For them,

00:34:21.139 --> 00:34:22.539
 I sanctify myself,

00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:23.440
 that they too

00:34:23.440 --> 00:34:25.239
 may be truly sanctified.

00:34:26.579 --> 00:34:27.599
 And then in the following

00:34:27.599 --> 00:34:28.019
 verses,

00:34:28.239 --> 00:34:29.139
 it's Jesus prays

00:34:29.139 --> 00:34:30.279
 for his future believers.

00:34:31.279 --> 00:34:32.299
 My prayer is not

00:34:32.299 --> 00:34:33.179
 for them alone.

00:34:33.659 --> 00:34:34.519
 I pray also

00:34:34.519 --> 00:34:35.079
 for those

00:34:35.079 --> 00:34:35.839
 who will believe

00:34:35.839 --> 00:34:36.259
 in me

00:34:36.259 --> 00:34:37.419
 through their message,

00:34:37.759 --> 00:34:38.839
 that all of them

00:34:38.839 --> 00:34:39.819
 may be one

00:34:39.819 --> 00:34:41.079
 father,

00:34:41.219 --> 00:34:42.539
 just as you are

00:34:42.539 --> 00:34:43.119
 in me

00:34:43.119 --> 00:34:44.179
 and I am

00:34:44.179 --> 00:34:44.900
 in you.

00:34:45.579 --> 00:34:46.400
 May they also

00:34:46.400 --> 00:34:47.159
 be in us

00:34:47.159 --> 00:34:47.980
 so that the world

00:34:47.980 --> 00:34:48.739
 may believe

00:34:48.739 --> 00:34:50.219
 that you have sent me.

00:34:50.880 --> 00:34:51.920
 I have given them

00:34:51.920 --> 00:34:53.039
 the glory

00:34:53.039 --> 00:34:54.400
 that you gave me,

00:34:54.759 --> 00:34:55.699
 that they may be

00:34:55.699 --> 00:34:57.079
 one as we are one,

00:34:57.759 --> 00:34:58.539
 I in them

00:34:58.539 --> 00:34:59.579
 and you in me.

00:35:00.139 --> 00:35:01.019
 May they be brought

00:35:01.019 --> 00:35:02.099
 to complete unity

00:35:02.099 --> 00:35:03.699
 to let the world

00:35:03.699 --> 00:35:05.179
 know that you sent me

00:35:05.179 --> 00:35:06.360
 and have loved them

00:35:06.360 --> 00:35:07.460
 even as you have

00:35:07.460 --> 00:35:08.039
 loved me.

00:35:08.719 --> 00:35:09.199
 Father,

00:35:09.320 --> 00:35:10.099
 I want those

00:35:10.099 --> 00:35:11.079
 you have given me

00:35:11.079 --> 00:35:12.440
 to be with me

00:35:12.440 --> 00:35:13.179
 where I am

00:35:13.179 --> 00:35:14.759
 and to see my glory,

00:35:15.380 --> 00:35:16.500
 the glory you have given

00:35:16.500 --> 00:35:18.159
 me because you loved me

00:35:18.159 --> 00:35:19.239
 before the creation

00:35:19.239 --> 00:35:19.860
 of the world.

00:35:20.579 --> 00:35:21.460
 Righteous Father,

00:35:21.880 --> 00:35:22.500
 though the world

00:35:22.500 --> 00:35:23.579
 does not know you,

00:35:24.019 --> 00:35:24.920
 I know you

00:35:24.920 --> 00:35:25.920
 and they know

00:35:25.920 --> 00:35:27.019
 that you have sent me.

00:35:27.500 --> 00:35:28.360
 I have made you

00:35:28.360 --> 00:35:29.159
 known to them

00:35:29.159 --> 00:35:30.380
 and will continue

00:35:30.380 --> 00:35:31.420
 to make you known

00:35:31.420 --> 00:35:31.900
 in order

00:35:31.900 --> 00:35:33.119
 that the love

00:35:33.119 --> 00:35:34.079
 you have for me

00:35:34.079 --> 00:35:35.480
 may be in them

00:35:35.480 --> 00:35:37.259
 and that I myself

00:35:37.259 --> 00:35:38.319
 may be in them.

00:35:38.320 --> 00:35:40.180
 what a

00:35:40.180 --> 00:35:42.240
 an awesome

00:35:42.240 --> 00:35:45.980
 thing to know

00:35:45.980 --> 00:35:47.440
 that Jesus prays,

00:35:47.740 --> 00:35:48.340
 even prayed

00:35:48.340 --> 00:35:49.340
 for his disciples,

00:35:49.500 --> 00:35:50.580
 he prayed for himself

00:35:50.580 --> 00:35:52.160
 as he was

00:35:52.160 --> 00:35:54.620
 going to the cross.

00:35:55.620 --> 00:35:56.620
 And then

00:35:56.620 --> 00:35:58.240
 so

00:35:58.240 --> 00:36:00.440
 that's the P

00:36:00.440 --> 00:36:01.200
 for prayer

00:36:01.200 --> 00:36:02.620
 and then

00:36:02.620 --> 00:36:03.740
 E,

00:36:04.400 --> 00:36:05.539
 eternal life

00:36:05.539 --> 00:36:07.099
 and

00:36:07.099 --> 00:36:11.519
 eternal life

00:36:11.519 --> 00:36:12.440
 and good news.

00:36:12.940 --> 00:36:14.500
 Does God really have

00:36:14.500 --> 00:36:16.159
 a future for us?

00:36:16.639 --> 00:36:17.759
 Do you know

00:36:17.759 --> 00:36:18.619
 the Lord

00:36:18.619 --> 00:36:20.599
 as your personal

00:36:20.599 --> 00:36:21.039
 savior?

00:36:22.440 --> 00:36:22.779
 And

00:36:22.779 --> 00:36:24.179
 eternity,

00:36:24.179 --> 00:36:24.840
 as you think

00:36:24.840 --> 00:36:25.539
 of eternity,

00:36:25.539 --> 00:36:29.300
 we have a lot

00:36:29.300 --> 00:36:30.500
 more living

00:36:30.500 --> 00:36:31.179
 ahead of us

00:36:31.179 --> 00:36:31.659
 than we do

00:36:31.659 --> 00:36:32.420
 behind us

00:36:32.420 --> 00:36:33.920
 and

00:36:33.920 --> 00:36:34.599
 eternity

00:36:34.599 --> 00:36:36.079
 can be spent

00:36:36.079 --> 00:36:38.279
 in either hell

00:36:38.279 --> 00:36:39.759
 or in heaven

00:36:39.759 --> 00:36:40.519
 with Christ

00:36:40.519 --> 00:36:42.320
 and if you're not

00:36:42.320 --> 00:36:42.699
 sure

00:36:42.699 --> 00:36:43.219
 where

00:36:43.219 --> 00:36:45.079
 you stand

00:36:45.079 --> 00:36:45.539
 today

00:36:45.539 --> 00:36:47.679
 and if you're

00:36:47.679 --> 00:36:48.440
 not absolutely

00:36:48.440 --> 00:36:49.059
 sure

00:36:49.059 --> 00:36:49.920
 of your future

00:36:49.920 --> 00:36:50.779
 with God

00:36:50.780 --> 00:36:55.220
 there's a place

00:36:55.220 --> 00:36:55.800
 that you need

00:36:55.800 --> 00:36:56.260
 to begin

00:36:56.260 --> 00:36:56.720
 and it's

00:36:56.720 --> 00:36:57.200
 to confess

00:36:57.200 --> 00:36:57.940
 your sin

00:36:57.940 --> 00:36:59.420
 and to repent

00:36:59.420 --> 00:37:00.900
 and

00:37:00.900 --> 00:37:02.500
 just to go

00:37:02.500 --> 00:37:02.980
 through

00:37:02.980 --> 00:37:05.400
 we listened

00:37:05.400 --> 00:37:06.400
 to a gentleman

00:37:06.400 --> 00:37:08.760
 J.D.

00:37:09.180 --> 00:37:09.720
 Farag

00:37:09.720 --> 00:37:10.880
 who is a

00:37:10.880 --> 00:37:11.300
 pastor

00:37:11.300 --> 00:37:12.660
 in Hawaii

00:37:12.660 --> 00:37:14.180
 and

00:37:14.180 --> 00:37:14.800
 at the end

00:37:14.800 --> 00:37:15.740
 of every message

00:37:15.740 --> 00:37:16.540
 that he has

00:37:16.540 --> 00:37:17.480
 he shares

00:37:17.480 --> 00:37:18.200
 the gospel

00:37:18.200 --> 00:37:20.220
 the good news

00:37:20.219 --> 00:37:21.859
 and

00:37:21.859 --> 00:37:23.319
 it's a simple

00:37:23.319 --> 00:37:26.119
 he has it

00:37:26.119 --> 00:37:26.679
 very simple

00:37:26.679 --> 00:37:27.459
 it's A-B-C

00:37:27.459 --> 00:37:28.779
 and the A

00:37:28.779 --> 00:37:29.839
 stands for

00:37:29.839 --> 00:37:31.799
 admit that

00:37:31.799 --> 00:37:32.539
 you are a sinner

00:37:32.539 --> 00:37:33.719
 and in

00:37:33.719 --> 00:37:35.219
 Romans 3.23

00:37:35.219 --> 00:37:36.639
 it says

00:37:36.639 --> 00:37:37.319
 for all have

00:37:37.319 --> 00:37:37.879
 sinned

00:37:37.879 --> 00:37:38.579
 and fall short

00:37:38.579 --> 00:37:39.039
 of the glory

00:37:39.039 --> 00:37:39.639
 of God

00:37:39.639 --> 00:37:41.059
 and

00:37:41.059 --> 00:37:42.019
 so

00:37:42.019 --> 00:37:43.539
 one thing

00:37:43.539 --> 00:37:44.359
 he says

00:37:44.359 --> 00:37:44.639
 in there

00:37:44.639 --> 00:37:45.379
 we first

00:37:45.379 --> 00:37:46.139
 must admit

00:37:46.139 --> 00:37:46.659
 that we are

00:37:46.659 --> 00:37:47.039
 sinners

00:37:47.039 --> 00:37:47.959
 that we

00:37:47.959 --> 00:37:49.619
 we sin

00:37:49.619 --> 00:37:51.079
 and

00:37:51.079 --> 00:37:52.119
 and

00:37:52.119 --> 00:37:52.440
 if we

00:37:52.440 --> 00:37:52.719
 admit

00:37:52.719 --> 00:37:53.139
 that we

00:37:53.139 --> 00:37:53.599
 are a

00:37:53.599 --> 00:37:53.819
 sinner

00:37:53.819 --> 00:37:54.179
 then

00:37:54.179 --> 00:37:56.159
 we are

00:37:56.159 --> 00:37:56.659
 in need

00:37:56.659 --> 00:37:56.960
 of a

00:37:56.960 --> 00:37:57.299
 savior

00:37:57.299 --> 00:37:58.400
 and

00:37:58.400 --> 00:37:58.739
 Jesus

00:37:58.739 --> 00:37:59.159
 Christ

00:37:59.159 --> 00:37:59.599
 is that

00:37:59.599 --> 00:38:00.059
 savior

00:38:00.059 --> 00:38:01.380
 and in

00:38:01.380 --> 00:38:02.139
 Romans

00:38:02.139 --> 00:38:03.039
 6.23

00:38:03.039 --> 00:38:04.500
 it says

00:38:04.500 --> 00:38:05.279
 for the wages

00:38:05.279 --> 00:38:06.000
 of sin

00:38:06.000 --> 00:38:07.079
 is death

00:38:07.079 --> 00:38:07.659
 that's the

00:38:07.659 --> 00:38:08.359
 bad news

00:38:08.359 --> 00:38:09.599
 and

00:38:09.599 --> 00:38:10.619
 it's a

00:38:10.619 --> 00:38:10.819
 death

00:38:10.819 --> 00:38:11.279
 penalty

00:38:11.280 --> 00:38:11.840
 if we

00:38:11.840 --> 00:38:14.100
 if we

00:38:14.100 --> 00:38:15.440
 if we

00:38:15.440 --> 00:38:15.800
 don't

00:38:15.800 --> 00:38:16.420
 repent

00:38:16.420 --> 00:38:17.640
 the death

00:38:17.640 --> 00:38:18.080
 penalty

00:38:18.080 --> 00:38:18.740
 will be

00:38:18.740 --> 00:38:19.760
 what we

00:38:19.760 --> 00:38:20.080
 have

00:38:20.080 --> 00:38:20.380
 but

00:38:20.380 --> 00:38:21.160
 there is

00:38:21.160 --> 00:38:21.840
 good news

00:38:21.840 --> 00:38:22.880
 the gift

00:38:22.880 --> 00:38:23.340
 of God

00:38:23.340 --> 00:38:23.940
 is eternal

00:38:23.940 --> 00:38:24.380
 life

00:38:24.380 --> 00:38:24.820
 in Christ

00:38:24.820 --> 00:38:25.140
 Jesus

00:38:25.140 --> 00:38:25.760
 our Lord

00:38:25.760 --> 00:38:27.560
 and

00:38:27.560 --> 00:38:28.340
 so

00:38:28.340 --> 00:38:29.340
 first we

00:38:29.340 --> 00:38:29.660
 need to

00:38:29.660 --> 00:38:30.160
 repent

00:38:30.160 --> 00:38:30.840
 and then

00:38:30.840 --> 00:38:31.900
 be

00:38:31.900 --> 00:38:32.820
 as believe

00:38:32.820 --> 00:38:33.820

00:38:38.660 --> 00:38:39.119
 confess

00:38:39.119 --> 00:38:39.340
 with

00:38:43.840 --> 00:38:44.039
 from
