00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.800
 Turn to the Gospel according to Mark. Go ahead and turn to chapter 1 with me this morning.

00:00:03.800 --> 00:00:16.339
! We are going to take a break from our verse-by-verse working through the Gospel of Mark.

00:00:17.219 --> 00:00:25.079
 I can't tell you exactly how many weeks that's going to be at this point, likely for the month of February, we're going to do this.

00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:35.939
 And we're doing so because I think there's an issue in the American church, which is true of our church as well, that needs to be addressed.

00:00:35.939 --> 00:00:43.159
 And we need to take some time to sit and to consider and to really search our hearts concerning the matter.

00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:48.239
 Let me first give you a hug before I step on our toes.

00:00:50.599 --> 00:00:53.539
 As a church, we do so much right.

00:00:54.659 --> 00:00:58.419
 I'm immensely grateful for all of you, and I don't know all of you in the room.

00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:01.079
 Some of you are guests with us here this morning.

00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:04.719
 This church is a wonderful church.

00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:08.400
 There's so much that's good and healthy about what we're doing.

00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:15.500
 In fact, as I meet with pastors in the area to be encouraged and to press one another on,

00:01:15.580 --> 00:01:20.440
 I always leave those meetings so happy to be the pastor of Christ Family Church.

00:01:20.600 --> 00:01:26.620
 Because I don't deal with nearly the messes that they're dealing with in their churches.

00:01:26.620 --> 00:01:31.939
 I found myself being a little bit mean about it.

00:01:32.060 --> 00:01:40.719
 Like, hey, you want to meet with me so I can hear all your trouble so I can be really happy about my life and my church and the things that are happening in our congregation.

00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:47.659
 But there's more, and there's better work that we can be doing.

00:01:47.659 --> 00:01:52.759
 And there's a danger that we always look at the good things, which we should certainly look at.

00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:57.519
 We should certainly give God much praise for those things that are happening in the life of our church.

00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:02.439
 But that we, in doing that, we ignore those things that need to be worked on.

00:02:03.259 --> 00:02:12.039
 And I don't think that I would be a good leader to you if knowing those things are true and not telling you about them and not pushing you beyond them,

00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:15.800
 not looking for a greater degree of growth in your life.

00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:18.520
 It would be unloving for me to withhold that from you.

00:02:19.200 --> 00:02:23.780
 There's a school of thought that says if it isn't broken, don't fix it.

00:02:24.660 --> 00:02:27.700
 It's a very American way of thinking about business, for an example.

00:02:27.939 --> 00:02:31.240
 But I say there's always more.

00:02:32.660 --> 00:02:34.680
 Jesus comes back today, we're done.

00:02:34.980 --> 00:02:37.180
 But until that time, we're not perfected.

00:02:37.420 --> 00:02:40.340
 And we have much work to do.

00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:44.780
 And that's why I want to take some time to address this issue.

00:02:44.780 --> 00:02:50.780
 And I will say that as we get into it, that there are many of you who do this well.

00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:53.840
 That the Lord is pleased with the work that you're doing.

00:02:54.080 --> 00:03:01.680
 And my charge to you would be, help me give leadership in surmounting this problem for us.

00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:03.379
 So what is that?

00:03:03.379 --> 00:03:11.240
 The Gospel of Mark, the great labor of it was to give evidence that Jesus is the Christ.

00:03:12.139 --> 00:03:13.939
 Mark does this at great pains.

00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:17.519
 He establishes Jesus' power over demons, over sickness.

00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:22.000
 His power over Satan, religion itself, the traditions of men.

00:03:22.359 --> 00:03:26.639
 His power over nature and his power over sin.

00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:33.119
 So Mark really wants his readers to see Jesus is the Christ.

00:03:34.219 --> 00:03:41.819
 And as such, he wants his readers to see what it means to follow Jesus Christ.

00:03:41.979 --> 00:03:45.199
 That if Jesus is Lord, what does his Lordship look like?

00:03:45.299 --> 00:03:47.919
 And how does it bring bearing in our lives?

00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:53.239
 How then should we live if we're to be disciples of Jesus Christ?

00:03:54.219 --> 00:03:58.539
 And if we're to say that we're disciples of Jesus Christ, this means that we follow him.

00:03:58.699 --> 00:04:00.459
 That we walk in his ways.

00:04:01.739 --> 00:04:10.639
 And if this is true of us, we as believers must be about the work of making disciples.

00:04:11.739 --> 00:04:12.819
 We must be.

00:04:12.819 --> 00:04:18.000
 And I think that this is a fairly large failure on our part.

00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:21.620
 Certainly to say that there are various giftings in our church.

00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:30.579
 There are those with a particular evangelistic gifting that do such a wonderful job of opening the door and inviting people in.

00:04:31.159 --> 00:04:38.100
 There are those who are really gifted teachers and can explain things with such clarity to help people understand.

00:04:38.100 --> 00:04:49.420
 And a shame is that in our American churches, we have so segregated and so specialized the ministry that we have left that work in the hands of few,

00:04:50.100 --> 00:04:53.540
 while the many do very, very little.

00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:58.200
 I want this to be untrue of our congregation.

00:04:58.900 --> 00:05:03.879
 And I hope that in these coming weeks, it will begin to be the case for us.

00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:13.279
 But let me take you through Mark and just help establish what Jesus is trying to do in his ministry and the way in which Mark, led by the Spirit, records it for us.

00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:14.759
 Look first in chapter 1.

00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:15.980
 Almost every chapter.

00:05:16.100 --> 00:05:18.259
 Chapter 1, verse 14 and 15.

00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:21.719
 Now after John, that's John the Baptist, was arrested,

00:05:22.579 --> 00:05:28.060
 Jesus came into Galilee, the place where he ministered primarily in his earthly ministry,

00:05:28.060 --> 00:05:32.819
 proclaiming the gospel of God, the good news of God, and saying,

00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:37.280
 the time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is at hand.

00:05:37.459 --> 00:05:42.319
 Repent and believe in the gospel, in the good news.

00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:47.959
 The very thing that Jesus came to do, even as he's establishing his power on the earth,

00:05:48.100 --> 00:05:51.160
 was coming to preach.

00:05:52.180 --> 00:05:54.340
 Just after this, he calls the first disciples.

00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:56.000
 Chapter 1, verse 17.

00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:58.579
 He says to Simon and Andrew,

00:05:59.100 --> 00:06:03.519
 follow me and I will make you fishers of men.

00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:05.620
 If you were to follow me,

00:06:05.860 --> 00:06:10.740
 the thing you're going to be about doing is not fishing for fish any longer,

00:06:10.860 --> 00:06:12.459
 but fishing for men.

00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:14.779
 Chapter 1, verse 38.

00:06:16.019 --> 00:06:18.939
 After some people, a crowd is looking for him,

00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:20.000
 Jesus says,

00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:25.079
 let us go on to the next towns that I may preach there also.

00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:29.599
 For this is why I came out.

00:06:31.039 --> 00:06:33.659
 Chapter 2, verse 17.

00:06:35.180 --> 00:06:38.579
 Those who are well have no need of a physician,

00:06:39.019 --> 00:06:40.300
 but those who are sick,

00:06:41.019 --> 00:06:43.000
 I came not to call the righteous,

00:06:43.479 --> 00:06:44.860
 but sinners.

00:06:45.060 --> 00:06:48.180
 Jesus didn't come to hang out with those who thought they all had it figured out,

00:06:48.299 --> 00:06:50.159
 who thought they were already righteous,

00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:56.280
 but rather those who were humble and who were broken and knew they needed a Savior.

00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:00.880
 Chapter 3, verses 33-35.

00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:09.060
 Jesus' family has come to take him back.

00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:12.719
 Earlier in the chapter, we see that they thought that he was insane,

00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:14.120
 that he totally lost his mind.

00:07:15.180 --> 00:07:16.259
 So they're standing outside,

00:07:16.339 --> 00:07:17.839
 and the disciples tell them that they're standing outside.

00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:19.060
 In verse 33, he says,

00:07:19.060 --> 00:07:21.660
 Who are my mother and my brothers?

00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:25.240
 And looking about those who sat around him, he said,

00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:27.180
 Here are my mother and my brothers.

00:07:27.500 --> 00:07:29.079
 For whoever does the will of God,

00:07:29.220 --> 00:07:33.019
 he is my brother and sister and mother.

00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:35.319
 We're to be part of the family of God.

00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:37.860
 We are to do the very will of God.

00:07:38.019 --> 00:07:39.899
 Chapter 4, verse 8.

00:07:39.899 --> 00:07:42.219
 He tells the parable of the sower.

00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:43.699
 He says,

00:07:43.859 --> 00:07:48.159
 And other seeds fell into good soil and produced grain,

00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:54.179
 growing up and increasing and yielding 30-fold and 60-fold and 100-fold.

00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:57.879
 Some soil receives the good news of the gospel,

00:07:58.019 --> 00:07:59.259
 the seed planted in them,

00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:03.739
 and grows up and produces more gospel,

00:08:04.039 --> 00:08:05.719
 growth in the kingdom.

00:08:06.359 --> 00:08:09.060
 And he gives explanation of that in verse 20 of chapter 4.

00:08:09.899 --> 00:08:11.459
 But those that were sown on the good soil

00:08:11.459 --> 00:08:13.039
 are the ones who hear the word

00:08:13.039 --> 00:08:15.639
 and accept it and bear fruit,

00:08:15.779 --> 00:08:19.459
 30-fold and 60-fold and 100-fold.

00:08:20.459 --> 00:08:22.659
 It doesn't make this a conditional thing.

00:08:22.739 --> 00:08:25.279
 If you are in fact found in Christ,

00:08:25.359 --> 00:08:26.539
 if you have accepted the word,

00:08:26.539 --> 00:08:29.279
 you will produce fruit.

00:08:30.339 --> 00:08:33.120
 Chapter 5, verse 19.

00:08:36.699 --> 00:08:38.019
 Jesus heals the man

00:08:38.019 --> 00:08:41.279
 with the subtitle in my copy.

00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:41.559
 It says,

00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:42.220
 A Demon,

00:08:42.340 --> 00:08:44.220
 but we find out that it's actually a legion of demons

00:08:44.220 --> 00:08:46.679
 cast them into a group of pigs

00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:47.799
 who run off into the sea.

00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:50.139
 This man wants to follow him,

00:08:50.199 --> 00:08:51.939
 but rather Jesus says to him in verse 19,

00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:53.819
 Go home to your friends

00:08:53.819 --> 00:08:57.319
 and tell them how much the Lord has done for you

00:08:57.319 --> 00:09:01.100
 and how he has had mercy on you.

00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:03.439
 This man wanted to devote his life

00:09:03.439 --> 00:09:06.079
 because he had been delivered from these demons to Jesus.

00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:07.440
 The way Jesus has him do that

00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:09.460
 is to go back to his family,

00:09:09.620 --> 00:09:10.680
 back to his friends,

00:09:10.780 --> 00:09:13.879
 and to share about the mercy of God on his behalf.

00:09:15.400 --> 00:09:19.280
 Chapter 6, verses 10-12.

00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:23.300
 Jesus sends out the twelve apostles

00:09:23.300 --> 00:09:25.379
 and says to them,

00:09:25.620 --> 00:09:26.300
 When you enter a house,

00:09:26.420 --> 00:09:27.780
 stay there until you depart from there.

00:09:28.259 --> 00:09:30.040
 And if any place will not receive you,

00:09:30.580 --> 00:09:32.259
 and they will not listen to you,

00:09:32.300 --> 00:09:33.820
 there's a proclamation happening.

00:09:33.820 --> 00:09:35.900
 When you leave, shake off the dust

00:09:35.900 --> 00:09:38.820
 that is on your feet as a testimony against them.

00:09:39.660 --> 00:09:42.040
 So, they went out and proclaimed

00:09:42.040 --> 00:09:44.440
 that people should repent.

00:09:45.260 --> 00:09:47.020
 Jesus sets them in motion

00:09:47.020 --> 00:09:49.379
 to do the very thing that he intends for them to do

00:09:49.379 --> 00:09:50.720
 when he departs from them,

00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:52.000
 gathers them back together,

00:09:52.100 --> 00:09:53.460
 and teaches them lessons

00:09:53.460 --> 00:09:55.080
 because of their experience.

00:09:56.320 --> 00:09:57.520
 Skip over chapter 7.

00:09:58.000 --> 00:09:58.560
 It's a great chapter.

00:10:01.560 --> 00:10:02.360
 Verse 34.

00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:04.340
 I'm sorry.

00:10:04.419 --> 00:10:05.139
 Chapter 8, verse 34.

00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:07.740
 I'm going to come back to this in a moment.

00:10:08.500 --> 00:10:10.159
 But just the statement of verse 34.

00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:13.460
 And I will tell you that this is the statement

00:10:13.460 --> 00:10:15.820
 that has just been resonating in my heart

00:10:15.820 --> 00:10:17.759
 as we've been preaching through Mark,

00:10:17.820 --> 00:10:20.680
 as I've been seeing thematic this development.

00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:23.300
 Not that this is a strange concept to us, right?

00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:24.659
 Like, we know this, right?

00:10:24.740 --> 00:10:25.379
 Like, as Christians,

00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:26.860
 we're meant to share our faith.

00:10:26.940 --> 00:10:28.700
 We're meant to preach the gospel, right?

00:10:28.700 --> 00:10:29.720
 I think we get it here,

00:10:29.820 --> 00:10:31.100
 but it needs to work down in

00:10:31.100 --> 00:10:32.440
 and work around inside of us.

00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:34.460
 So, this is the major statement of Christ

00:10:34.460 --> 00:10:35.580
 that's been working in my heart.

00:10:35.580 --> 00:10:37.240
 If anyone would come after me,

00:10:37.660 --> 00:10:38.980
 let him deny himself

00:10:38.980 --> 00:10:40.460
 and take up his cross

00:10:40.460 --> 00:10:41.920
 and follow me.

00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:44.580
 Let him set aside his self-determination,

00:10:45.400 --> 00:10:46.320
 his self-worship,

00:10:46.660 --> 00:10:49.360
 and let him die and follow me.

00:10:49.680 --> 00:10:51.660
 Death and the pain that comes with death

00:10:51.660 --> 00:10:53.379
 to pursue Jesus.

00:10:53.379 --> 00:10:55.840
 chapter 9, verse 35.

00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:02.919
 There's a debate amongst the apostles

00:11:02.919 --> 00:11:04.019
 about who is greatest,

00:11:04.439 --> 00:11:07.299
 who will be the best of apostles.

00:11:07.820 --> 00:11:08.679
 Jesus says in verse 35,

00:11:08.820 --> 00:11:10.080
 if anyone would be first,

00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:12.279
 he must be last of all

00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:15.259
 and servant of all.

00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:17.240
 Chapter 10,

00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:22.299
 verses 44 and 45.

00:11:23.379 --> 00:11:24.399
 Once again,

00:11:24.580 --> 00:11:25.939
 we have some debate.

00:11:26.700 --> 00:11:28.960
 James and John want to sit at his right hand

00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:29.759
 in the kingdom of God.

00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:30.939
 And he says,

00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:32.360
 whoever will be first among you

00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:33.899
 must be slave of all.

00:11:34.500 --> 00:11:36.500
 For even the Son of Man came

00:11:36.500 --> 00:11:37.899
 not to be served,

00:11:38.200 --> 00:11:39.179
 but to serve

00:11:39.179 --> 00:11:40.860
 and to give his life a ransom

00:11:40.860 --> 00:11:42.519
 for many.

00:11:43.939 --> 00:11:46.700
 Chapter 11, verse 17.

00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:48.960
 Jesus goes into the temple

00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:49.659
 and he cleanses it.

00:11:49.700 --> 00:11:51.059
 He flips over all of the tables

00:11:51.059 --> 00:11:52.639
 and he runs out the money changers.

00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:54.720
 He stops people from cutting through

00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:55.620
 the court of Gentiles.

00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:56.419
 And he says,

00:11:56.620 --> 00:11:57.539
 is it not written,

00:11:57.659 --> 00:11:59.379
 and this is from Isaiah 56, 7,

00:11:59.960 --> 00:12:01.120
 my house shall be called

00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:02.059
 a house of prayer

00:12:02.059 --> 00:12:03.840
 for all the nations,

00:12:04.299 --> 00:12:05.039
 but you have made it

00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:05.919
 a den of robbers.

00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:08.299
 The very temple of God

00:12:08.299 --> 00:12:09.620
 was meant to serve

00:12:09.620 --> 00:12:10.740
 as a place

00:12:10.740 --> 00:12:12.080
 to ask God's blessing

00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:13.279
 for all peoples.

00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:14.899
 We see this in Isaiah.

00:12:14.980 --> 00:12:15.639
 We see it other places

00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:16.319
 in the Old Testament.

00:12:16.659 --> 00:12:17.860
 Jesus confirms it for us here

00:12:17.860 --> 00:12:19.460
 in Mark chapter 11.

00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:22.580
 Chapter 12, verse 29.

00:12:28.019 --> 00:12:29.899
 Jesus asks a question

00:12:29.899 --> 00:12:30.740
 to test him

00:12:30.740 --> 00:12:32.060
 by a scribe,

00:12:32.139 --> 00:12:34.279
 kind of a modern day version

00:12:34.279 --> 00:12:37.039
 of a lawyer slash theologian.

00:12:38.220 --> 00:12:39.240
 And Jesus answers,

00:12:39.379 --> 00:12:40.700
 the most important is,

00:12:41.340 --> 00:12:42.300
 hear, O Israel,

00:12:42.740 --> 00:12:43.820
 the Lord our God,

00:12:43.820 --> 00:12:45.220
 the Lord is one.

00:12:45.920 --> 00:12:46.580
 And you shall love

00:12:46.580 --> 00:12:46.980
 the Lord your God

00:12:46.980 --> 00:12:47.700
 with all your heart

00:12:47.700 --> 00:12:49.180
 and with all your soul

00:12:49.180 --> 00:12:50.760
 and with all your mind

00:12:50.760 --> 00:12:52.420
 and with all your strength.

00:12:53.460 --> 00:12:54.780
 The second is this.

00:12:55.400 --> 00:12:56.780
 You shall love your neighbor

00:12:56.780 --> 00:12:58.340
 as yourself.

00:12:58.980 --> 00:13:00.379
 There is no other commandment

00:13:00.379 --> 00:13:02.680
 greater than these.

00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:06.820
 Chapter 13, verse 10.

00:13:07.020 --> 00:13:07.500
 We're almost done.

00:13:07.500 --> 00:13:13.980
 Jesus is telling the apostles

00:13:13.980 --> 00:13:16.460
 things that will come to pass

00:13:16.460 --> 00:13:17.500
 at the end of the age.

00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:18.659
 In verse 10, he says,

00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:19.480
 and the gospel,

00:13:19.980 --> 00:13:21.419
 the good news of Jesus Christ

00:13:21.419 --> 00:13:23.759
 must first be proclaimed

00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:25.639
 to all nations.

00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:29.159
 We saw in chapter 14,

00:13:29.679 --> 00:13:31.039
 Jesus' arrest,

00:13:31.139 --> 00:13:32.559
 and that's where we are

00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:34.179
 now taking a break.

00:13:34.179 --> 00:13:36.940
 In chapter 15 and 16,

00:13:36.940 --> 00:13:38.100
 we're going to see his trial,

00:13:38.260 --> 00:13:39.260
 his death,

00:13:40.160 --> 00:13:41.080
 and his resurrection.

00:13:42.780 --> 00:13:43.800
 And intentionally,

00:13:44.020 --> 00:13:45.560
 I think this is such a good place

00:13:45.560 --> 00:13:46.460
 for us to stop

00:13:46.460 --> 00:13:47.820
 because we're about to really reflect

00:13:47.820 --> 00:13:48.900
 upon the sacrifice

00:13:48.900 --> 00:13:50.040
 of Jesus Christ.

00:13:50.260 --> 00:13:51.580
 He's now been taken captive.

00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:53.720
 The motion is going now.

00:13:53.900 --> 00:13:54.860
 There's going to be

00:13:54.860 --> 00:13:55.860
 this final thing,

00:13:55.960 --> 00:13:57.820
 his death on the cross.

00:13:58.040 --> 00:13:58.680
 And we're going to be

00:13:58.680 --> 00:13:59.780
 really considering that

00:13:59.780 --> 00:14:01.000
 in the coming months.

00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:03.020
 But to stop and think

00:14:03.020 --> 00:14:04.120
 about the cost

00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:06.280
 for us to follow him.

00:14:07.660 --> 00:14:09.220
 Recall that he's made predictions.

00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:10.000
 Chapter 8,

00:14:10.200 --> 00:14:10.840
 chapter 9,

00:14:11.060 --> 00:14:11.600
 chapter 10,

00:14:11.660 --> 00:14:12.560
 in all of these places,

00:14:12.660 --> 00:14:13.320
 he's made predictions

00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:14.620
 about what he's going to suffer

00:14:14.620 --> 00:14:15.880
 when they finally make

00:14:15.880 --> 00:14:17.420
 their final trip to Jerusalem.

00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:19.840
 There's some objection to that.

00:14:20.040 --> 00:14:21.180
 And even if there's not

00:14:21.180 --> 00:14:22.100
 outward objection

00:14:22.100 --> 00:14:23.000
 in some of those cases,

00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:25.220
 they have objections

00:14:25.220 --> 00:14:26.040
 in their hearts

00:14:26.040 --> 00:14:27.160
 because they begin to debate

00:14:27.160 --> 00:14:27.940
 about who's going to be

00:14:27.940 --> 00:14:29.380
 greatest in the kingdom.

00:14:29.940 --> 00:14:30.420
 Right?

00:14:30.660 --> 00:14:31.620
 And the correction

00:14:31.620 --> 00:14:32.540
 he brings to them

00:14:32.540 --> 00:14:33.860
 is that the first

00:14:33.860 --> 00:14:34.539
 will be last

00:14:34.539 --> 00:14:35.639
 and the last

00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:36.899
 will be first.

00:14:37.139 --> 00:14:38.860
 That if we're to follow Jesus,

00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:39.659
 we're going to follow him

00:14:39.659 --> 00:14:40.800
 into his death.

00:14:42.460 --> 00:14:43.460
 And upon his resurrection,

00:14:44.500 --> 00:14:45.360
 he gives a command

00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:46.360
 in chapter 16,

00:14:46.500 --> 00:14:47.220
 verse 15,

00:14:47.220 --> 00:14:50.120
 go into all the world

00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:51.920
 and proclaim the gospel

00:14:51.920 --> 00:14:53.800
 to the whole creation.

00:14:55.320 --> 00:14:56.279
 Whoever believes

00:14:56.279 --> 00:14:56.899
 and is baptized

00:14:56.899 --> 00:14:57.560
 will be saved,

00:14:57.660 --> 00:14:58.879
 but whoever does not believe

00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:00.700
 will be condemned.

00:15:01.420 --> 00:15:02.139
 And there's a more

00:15:02.139 --> 00:15:04.120
 famous record

00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:05.460
 of Jesus' great commission

00:15:05.460 --> 00:15:06.700
 found in Matthew 28,

00:15:07.420 --> 00:15:09.040
 verses 18-20,

00:15:09.500 --> 00:15:10.480
 where Jesus says,

00:15:10.480 --> 00:15:30.980
 So it is the great

00:15:30.980 --> 00:15:33.960
 call on the Christian life.

00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:35.340
 There's much conversation

00:15:35.340 --> 00:15:37.340
 about calling in our society,

00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:39.139
 what God has called you to.

00:15:39.139 --> 00:15:40.139
 And the New Testament

00:15:40.139 --> 00:15:41.639
 is only clear on two things

00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:42.740
 that you've been called to,

00:15:42.819 --> 00:15:43.460
 all believers.

00:15:43.860 --> 00:15:45.039
 We've been called to believe.

00:15:45.460 --> 00:15:46.460
 We've done that thing,

00:15:46.539 --> 00:15:46.960
 I hope,

00:15:47.080 --> 00:15:47.860
 for everybody in this room

00:15:47.860 --> 00:15:48.399
 that's true.

00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:49.519
 And the second thing

00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:50.240
 is that you're called

00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:51.299
 to make disciples.

00:15:51.960 --> 00:15:53.519
 To be about the work

00:15:53.519 --> 00:15:55.220
 of having others believe.

00:15:55.439 --> 00:15:56.240
 These are the two things

00:15:56.240 --> 00:15:57.679
 that you can be very sure of.

00:15:58.259 --> 00:15:58.939
 The particulars

00:15:58.939 --> 00:15:59.919
 of how you'll do that,

00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:01.159
 I don't know.

00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:03.000
 But you could be about

00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:04.279
 that activity,

00:16:04.419 --> 00:16:05.819
 not simply making converts,

00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:07.659
 but disciples.

00:16:07.659 --> 00:16:07.860
 disciples.

00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:09.819
 Teaching them to observe.

00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:10.980
 Not just teaching,

00:16:11.079 --> 00:16:12.139
 but teaching them to observe

00:16:12.139 --> 00:16:13.319
 all the things

00:16:13.319 --> 00:16:14.939
 that Jesus has commanded us

00:16:14.939 --> 00:16:15.939
 to do.

00:16:17.319 --> 00:16:17.959
 Now go back,

00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:18.319
 if you will,

00:16:18.379 --> 00:16:18.559
 with me.

00:16:18.620 --> 00:16:19.360
 Turn back a few pages

00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:20.559
 back to Mark chapter 8.

00:16:20.719 --> 00:16:21.959
 And I want to just expand

00:16:21.959 --> 00:16:23.240
 our text a bit.

00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:35.639
 I think that verse 34,

00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:36.799
 what Jesus says here

00:16:36.799 --> 00:16:39.879
 is kind of this axiomatic statement.

00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:41.700
 This statement on which

00:16:41.700 --> 00:16:43.639
 many things hinge.

00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:45.700
 And to look at the context

00:16:45.700 --> 00:16:47.500
 is so massively important for us.

00:16:47.580 --> 00:16:49.500
 As we see what he begins to do,

00:16:49.560 --> 00:16:50.080
 verse 31,

00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:51.400
 he begins to teach them

00:16:51.400 --> 00:16:53.300
 that the Son of Man

00:16:53.300 --> 00:16:54.980
 must suffer many things

00:16:54.980 --> 00:16:56.440
 and be rejected by the elders

00:16:56.440 --> 00:16:57.580
 and the chief priests

00:16:57.580 --> 00:16:58.660
 and the scribes

00:16:58.660 --> 00:16:59.960
 and be killed.

00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:01.320
 The suffering that he's going

00:17:01.320 --> 00:17:01.960
 to experience

00:17:01.960 --> 00:17:02.820
 is told to them

00:17:02.820 --> 00:17:04.140
 and after three days

00:17:04.140 --> 00:17:06.059
 he will rise again.

00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:08.019
 He even gives to the apostles

00:17:08.019 --> 00:17:10.220
 in this prediction of his death

00:17:10.220 --> 00:17:12.920
 the hope that he will again rise.

00:17:13.240 --> 00:17:14.960
 And he said this plainly,

00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:16.100
 verse 32 says.

00:17:16.539 --> 00:17:16.680
 Right?

00:17:16.940 --> 00:17:18.059
 He says it plainly to them.

00:17:18.059 --> 00:17:19.700
 He doesn't speak in any kind of parable.

00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:21.200
 He doesn't try to confuse

00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:22.139
 in any way whatsoever.

00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:23.819
 He says this to them plainly.

00:17:23.919 --> 00:17:26.539
 This thing will come to pass.

00:17:26.659 --> 00:17:29.220
 And Peter misses the point altogether.

00:17:29.419 --> 00:17:30.279
 He takes him aside

00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:32.059
 and he begins to rebuke him.

00:17:32.179 --> 00:17:34.039
 And I believe that Peter does so

00:17:34.039 --> 00:17:36.220
 out of a love for Jesus.

00:17:36.899 --> 00:17:38.339
 Don't say such things, Jesus.

00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:39.919
 Don't say that this is the way

00:17:39.919 --> 00:17:41.159
 the kingdom is going to come to pass.

00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:42.179
 That you're going to have to suffer

00:17:42.179 --> 00:17:43.419
 and you're going to have to die.

00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:45.299
 That's not the way I envisioned

00:17:45.299 --> 00:17:46.039
 this happening.

00:17:46.039 --> 00:17:48.519
 And in so doing,

00:17:48.639 --> 00:17:50.559
 he's formed Jesus

00:17:50.559 --> 00:17:53.519
 the way he wants him to be.

00:17:54.379 --> 00:17:56.159
 Here is the Son of Man,

00:17:56.359 --> 00:17:57.339
 the predicted one,

00:17:57.599 --> 00:17:58.200
 the Christ,

00:17:58.420 --> 00:17:59.220
 the Lord of all.

00:17:59.500 --> 00:18:00.359
 Recall some of the things

00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:01.460
 that Jesus has accomplished

00:18:01.460 --> 00:18:02.500
 up to this point

00:18:02.500 --> 00:18:04.379
 that Peter has been witness to.

00:18:05.359 --> 00:18:06.279
 Phenomenal things.

00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:08.319
 The one that continually blows my mind

00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:09.500
 because I love nature

00:18:09.500 --> 00:18:10.200
 and being outside

00:18:10.200 --> 00:18:11.659
 and I did so much study

00:18:11.659 --> 00:18:12.639
 on the Sea of Galilee.

00:18:13.420 --> 00:18:14.599
 Was he calling that storm?

00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:14.719
 Storm.

00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:16.459
 Phenomenal thing.

00:18:16.699 --> 00:18:18.619
 This period of the year,

00:18:18.959 --> 00:18:20.679
 storms kick up on the Sea of Galilee.

00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:21.939
 Ten foot waves

00:18:21.939 --> 00:18:23.119
 on a body of water

00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:24.199
 about the size of Lake Lanier.

00:18:24.299 --> 00:18:25.079
 Can you imagine

00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:26.179
 being on Lake Lanier

00:18:26.179 --> 00:18:27.539
 in like a fishing boat

00:18:27.539 --> 00:18:28.959
 and ten foot waves begin?

00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:30.480
 And Jesus just says,

00:18:30.679 --> 00:18:31.419
 be still.

00:18:31.659 --> 00:18:32.899
 And it all stops.

00:18:33.459 --> 00:18:33.859
 Dead.

00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:35.699
 He's seen these kinds of things happen.

00:18:35.959 --> 00:18:36.799
 And then he tells them

00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:38.159
 what will come to pass.

00:18:38.419 --> 00:18:39.240
 And Peter still says,

00:18:39.659 --> 00:18:40.079
 oh no.

00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:40.939
 No, no.

00:18:41.019 --> 00:18:41.740
 This is not the way

00:18:41.740 --> 00:18:43.559
 that Christ comes to reign.

00:18:45.059 --> 00:18:46.319
 And I'm afraid in many ways

00:18:46.319 --> 00:18:47.679
 we do the same thing.

00:18:47.819 --> 00:18:49.199
 We fashion Jesus

00:18:49.199 --> 00:18:50.639
 the way we want Him to look.

00:18:51.699 --> 00:18:51.819
 Right?

00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:53.639
 We in this church

00:18:53.639 --> 00:18:55.099
 certainly shun the gospel

00:18:55.099 --> 00:18:56.099
 of prosperity.

00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:56.899
 I'm not sure

00:18:56.899 --> 00:18:58.159
 that we shun the gospel

00:18:58.159 --> 00:18:58.980
 of comfort.

00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:01.319
 We think that if we add

00:19:01.319 --> 00:19:02.159
 Jesus to our life,

00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:04.079
 life will get better

00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:05.139
 by our terms.

00:19:05.960 --> 00:19:06.759
 And when it doesn't,

00:19:06.819 --> 00:19:08.000
 many people reject it

00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:08.839
 altogether.

00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:11.079
 We're apathetic

00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:11.959
 because we know

00:19:11.959 --> 00:19:12.799
 that being obedient

00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:13.399
 will lead us

00:19:13.399 --> 00:19:15.559
 into uncomfortable discomfort

00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:16.659
 and we don't want it.

00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:18.559
 We make Jesus

00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:20.679
 into our own fashion.

00:19:20.919 --> 00:19:21.899
 That Jesus would come

00:19:21.899 --> 00:19:23.240
 and sit amongst us

00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:24.559
 and chill out with us

00:19:24.559 --> 00:19:25.559
 wouldn't be the case

00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:26.579
 if He were to visit.

00:19:27.419 --> 00:19:27.799
 It would be clear

00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:28.980
 He won't visit again

00:19:28.980 --> 00:19:30.319
 until He's ready to vindicate

00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:32.179
 and wipe the slate clean

00:19:32.179 --> 00:19:33.119
 once again.

00:19:33.659 --> 00:19:34.259
 But if He were

00:19:34.259 --> 00:19:35.500
 just to come and hang out,

00:19:36.619 --> 00:19:37.839
 He might pop by

00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:38.679
 and just say what's up.

00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:39.740
 To our crowd.

00:19:40.539 --> 00:19:41.359
 Sitting together

00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:42.119
 in our comfort,

00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:43.319
 doing our comfortable things.

00:19:43.399 --> 00:19:44.019
 I'm convinced

00:19:44.019 --> 00:19:45.720
 He would be someplace dangerous.

00:19:46.419 --> 00:19:47.459
 Someplace working.

00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:48.539
 Getting in the face

00:19:48.539 --> 00:19:50.319
 of those leading people astray.

00:19:51.639 --> 00:19:53.299
 Laying out His life

00:19:53.299 --> 00:19:54.720
 for the sake of the kingdom

00:19:54.720 --> 00:19:55.699
 of God.

00:19:57.339 --> 00:19:58.299
 Verse 35 says,

00:19:58.399 --> 00:20:00.000
 For whoever would save his life

00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:01.319
 will lose it,

00:20:01.359 --> 00:20:02.439
 but whoever loses his life

00:20:02.439 --> 00:20:03.119
 for my sake

00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:03.839
 and the gospels

00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:04.619
 will save it.

00:20:04.659 --> 00:20:05.859
 Look at the promise there.

00:20:05.859 --> 00:20:06.919
 If we're willing

00:20:06.919 --> 00:20:08.740
 to sacrifice ourselves

00:20:08.740 --> 00:20:09.839
 for the sake of the kingdom,

00:20:10.259 --> 00:20:11.240
 this promise that our life

00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:12.059
 will be saved.

00:20:12.139 --> 00:20:13.479
 For what does it profit

00:20:13.479 --> 00:20:15.259
 a man to gain the whole world

00:20:15.259 --> 00:20:17.519
 and to forfeit his soul?

00:20:17.639 --> 00:20:17.939
 Nothing.

00:20:18.059 --> 00:20:19.599
 It profits him nothing.

00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:20.379
 For what can a man

00:20:20.379 --> 00:20:21.459
 give in return for a soul?

00:20:21.819 --> 00:20:23.539
 Absolutely nothing.

00:20:24.599 --> 00:20:25.559
 And then verse 38.

00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:29.359
 For whoever is ashamed of me

00:20:29.359 --> 00:20:31.319
 and of my words

00:20:31.319 --> 00:20:32.899
 in this adulterous

00:20:32.899 --> 00:20:34.039
 and sinful generation,

00:20:34.379 --> 00:20:36.240
 of him will the Son of Man

00:20:36.240 --> 00:20:37.179
 also be ashamed

00:20:37.179 --> 00:20:38.079
 when he comes in the glory

00:20:38.079 --> 00:20:38.599
 of his Father

00:20:38.599 --> 00:20:40.339
 with the holy angels.

00:20:43.119 --> 00:20:45.279
 And I think that those words

00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:46.139
 need to sink

00:20:46.139 --> 00:20:47.579
 into our hearts.

00:20:48.179 --> 00:20:49.219
 And I think that we need

00:20:49.219 --> 00:20:50.539
 to think about the times

00:20:50.539 --> 00:20:51.599
 in our lives

00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:52.439
 when we have been given

00:20:52.439 --> 00:20:53.199
 opportunity

00:20:53.199 --> 00:20:54.619
 to be obedient

00:20:54.619 --> 00:20:56.079
 to the call of Christ.

00:20:56.079 --> 00:20:58.279
 when we know full well

00:20:58.279 --> 00:20:59.839
 we can proclaim the gospel

00:20:59.839 --> 00:21:00.859
 in a situation

00:21:00.859 --> 00:21:02.279
 and we shrink back

00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:03.379
 and we're ashamed.

00:21:08.259 --> 00:21:09.319
 Certainly at the core

00:21:09.319 --> 00:21:10.119
 of all of this

00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:12.179
 is an issue of heart.

00:21:13.319 --> 00:21:14.480
 If our hearts were

00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:15.699
 properly aligned,

00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:17.619
 if we love God

00:21:17.619 --> 00:21:18.480
 the way we're meant

00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:19.599
 to love God,

00:21:20.460 --> 00:21:21.819
 overflowing from us

00:21:21.819 --> 00:21:23.199
 would be proper response

00:21:23.199 --> 00:21:24.099
 and obedience.

00:21:24.099 --> 00:21:26.379
 So it's an issue of heart

00:21:26.379 --> 00:21:26.859
 and therefore

00:21:26.859 --> 00:21:28.059
 it needs treatment

00:21:28.059 --> 00:21:29.139
 in that way.

00:21:29.299 --> 00:21:31.000
 Like not by some new program

00:21:31.000 --> 00:21:32.240
 or some new model

00:21:32.240 --> 00:21:32.879
 but we need

00:21:32.879 --> 00:21:34.379
 to really examine

00:21:34.379 --> 00:21:35.319
 our hearts.

00:21:35.439 --> 00:21:36.339
 And the very best way

00:21:36.339 --> 00:21:37.000
 I know to do that

00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:38.139
 is by the scriptures.

00:21:38.259 --> 00:21:38.919
 The scriptures are

00:21:38.919 --> 00:21:40.379
 a two-edged sword

00:21:40.379 --> 00:21:40.980
 in this case.

00:21:41.159 --> 00:21:42.259
 I think maybe a scalpel

00:21:42.259 --> 00:21:43.099
 to really get at

00:21:43.099 --> 00:21:44.259
 and to do some surgery

00:21:44.259 --> 00:21:45.599
 on our hearts.

00:21:47.379 --> 00:21:48.579
 And so I want to give to you

00:21:48.579 --> 00:21:50.639
 eight cuts.

00:21:50.640 --> 00:21:53.500
 I hope that they're

00:21:53.500 --> 00:21:55.140
 fine cuts.

00:21:55.220 --> 00:21:56.080
 I hope that they hurt

00:21:56.080 --> 00:21:58.120
 a little bit.

00:21:59.360 --> 00:22:00.720
 Eight things I think

00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:03.140
 we may believe

00:22:03.140 --> 00:22:04.560
 or believe improperly.

00:22:05.800 --> 00:22:07.160
 I'm sure there are more.

00:22:08.259 --> 00:22:09.320
 But things that we can

00:22:09.320 --> 00:22:11.360
 begin to think about

00:22:11.360 --> 00:22:12.420
 and to look at

00:22:12.420 --> 00:22:13.100
 and to process

00:22:13.100 --> 00:22:14.220
 and to pray through

00:22:14.220 --> 00:22:15.920
 and consider

00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:17.700
 if this is why

00:22:17.700 --> 00:22:18.740
 there's not a greater

00:22:18.740 --> 00:22:19.620
 movement of God

00:22:19.619 --> 00:22:20.439
 amongst us.

00:22:21.299 --> 00:22:22.459
 If this is why

00:22:22.459 --> 00:22:23.339
 we're content

00:22:23.339 --> 00:22:24.619
 with addition

00:22:24.619 --> 00:22:26.639
 and not excited

00:22:26.639 --> 00:22:27.539
 and looking toward

00:22:27.539 --> 00:22:28.439
 multiplication.

00:22:28.959 --> 00:22:29.819
 God bringing people

00:22:29.819 --> 00:22:30.579
 into His kingdom

00:22:30.579 --> 00:22:32.419
 in droves.

00:22:33.879 --> 00:22:36.179
 So eight cuts.

00:22:37.199 --> 00:22:37.859
 Number one.

00:22:39.239 --> 00:22:40.279
 We may not.

00:22:40.839 --> 00:22:41.799
 It is possible

00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:43.339
 that we do not

00:22:43.339 --> 00:22:44.019
 understand

00:22:44.019 --> 00:22:45.239
 the heart

00:22:45.239 --> 00:22:47.019
 of our Father.

00:22:47.859 --> 00:22:49.019
 We do not understand

00:22:49.019 --> 00:22:49.960
 the heart

00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:51.559
 of our Father.

00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:54.599
 For His great name's sake,

00:22:55.619 --> 00:22:56.500
 He is building

00:22:56.500 --> 00:22:58.139
 a family.

00:22:58.799 --> 00:22:59.519
 He is adopting

00:22:59.519 --> 00:23:00.099
 those

00:23:00.099 --> 00:23:01.160
 into His family

00:23:01.160 --> 00:23:02.039
 that have

00:23:02.039 --> 00:23:02.799
 no right

00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:03.799
 to be part of His family,

00:23:04.039 --> 00:23:05.339
 who have sinned

00:23:05.339 --> 00:23:06.400
 grievously against Him,

00:23:06.619 --> 00:23:07.700
 have in every way

00:23:07.700 --> 00:23:08.259
 said to Him,

00:23:08.319 --> 00:23:09.480
 I do not want you

00:23:09.480 --> 00:23:09.839
 to be

00:23:09.839 --> 00:23:10.680
 my Father.

00:23:11.220 --> 00:23:11.539
 And yet,

00:23:11.579 --> 00:23:12.680
 He does a work in us

00:23:12.680 --> 00:23:13.839
 and He calls us

00:23:13.839 --> 00:23:15.180
 into His family.

00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:16.200
 He is not

00:23:16.200 --> 00:23:17.539
 exclusive.

00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:19.759
 But the God of Scripture

00:23:19.759 --> 00:23:20.380
 seems to be

00:23:20.380 --> 00:23:21.960
 so very inclusive,

00:23:22.559 --> 00:23:23.539
 drawing people

00:23:23.539 --> 00:23:25.279
 of all variety

00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:26.680
 to Himself.

00:23:28.240 --> 00:23:29.220
 Revelation 7,

00:23:29.319 --> 00:23:29.960
 9 and 10

00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:30.600
 gives us

00:23:30.600 --> 00:23:31.960
 a peek at this.

00:23:32.700 --> 00:23:33.340
 John's vision,

00:23:33.460 --> 00:23:33.700
 he says,

00:23:33.700 --> 00:23:34.720
 after this I looked

00:23:34.720 --> 00:23:35.920
 and behold

00:23:35.920 --> 00:23:37.019
 a great multitude

00:23:37.019 --> 00:23:38.360
 that no one

00:23:38.360 --> 00:23:38.920
 could number

00:23:38.920 --> 00:23:40.140
 from every nation,

00:23:40.500 --> 00:23:41.500
 from all tribes

00:23:41.500 --> 00:23:42.000
 and peoples

00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:42.580
 and languages,

00:23:42.840 --> 00:23:43.840
 standing before the throne

00:23:43.840 --> 00:23:44.519
 and before the Lamb,

00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:45.799
 clothed in white robes

00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:46.519
 with palm branches

00:23:46.519 --> 00:23:47.120
 in their hands

00:23:47.120 --> 00:23:48.299
 and crying out

00:23:48.299 --> 00:23:49.220
 with a loud voice,

00:23:49.600 --> 00:23:50.580
 salvation belongs

00:23:50.580 --> 00:23:51.120
 to our God

00:23:51.120 --> 00:23:52.059
 who sits on the throne

00:23:52.059 --> 00:23:53.240
 and to the Lamb.

00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:54.960
 a multitude

00:23:54.960 --> 00:23:56.240
 that no one

00:23:56.240 --> 00:23:56.859
 can number,

00:23:57.140 --> 00:23:57.900
 a vast,

00:23:58.240 --> 00:23:59.279
 vast number.

00:23:59.400 --> 00:24:00.220
 Do you sometimes

00:24:00.220 --> 00:24:01.220
 think that those

00:24:01.220 --> 00:24:01.680
 in heaven

00:24:01.680 --> 00:24:02.120
 are going to be

00:24:02.120 --> 00:24:02.940
 the minority

00:24:02.940 --> 00:24:04.220
 of humankind?

00:24:06.059 --> 00:24:07.480
 I can't say for sure,

00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:08.500
 but it seems to me

00:24:08.500 --> 00:24:10.140
 that as God wins

00:24:10.140 --> 00:24:11.599
 this great redemptive

00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:12.359
 battle,

00:24:12.519 --> 00:24:13.420
 it's a sure thing,

00:24:13.660 --> 00:24:14.660
 that maybe He wins

00:24:14.660 --> 00:24:15.920
 in numbers too.

00:24:16.640 --> 00:24:17.420
 Maybe those

00:24:17.420 --> 00:24:17.940
 who will one day

00:24:17.940 --> 00:24:18.759
 be glorified

00:24:18.759 --> 00:24:19.579
 will outnumber

00:24:19.579 --> 00:24:20.019
 those

00:24:20.019 --> 00:24:21.539
 who will be damned.

00:24:21.539 --> 00:24:23.180
 Either way,

00:24:23.259 --> 00:24:23.899
 we certainly know

00:24:23.899 --> 00:24:24.680
 that He loves

00:24:24.680 --> 00:24:25.579
 and He loves immensely

00:24:25.579 --> 00:24:26.460
 and He's building

00:24:26.460 --> 00:24:26.940
 a family

00:24:26.940 --> 00:24:27.720
 for the praise

00:24:27.720 --> 00:24:28.319
 of His name.

00:24:29.879 --> 00:24:31.019
 I find sometimes

00:24:31.019 --> 00:24:31.680
 that we seem

00:24:31.680 --> 00:24:32.359
 to operate

00:24:32.359 --> 00:24:33.839
 under the assumption

00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:35.399
 that God does not

00:24:35.399 --> 00:24:36.980
 want to save people

00:24:36.980 --> 00:24:39.379
 rather than

00:24:39.379 --> 00:24:40.519
 under the assumption

00:24:40.519 --> 00:24:41.420
 that He does

00:24:41.420 --> 00:24:42.359
 and that He fully

00:24:42.359 --> 00:24:43.139
 intends to

00:24:43.139 --> 00:24:44.279
 and that He's powerful

00:24:44.279 --> 00:24:45.440
 to accomplish this

00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:46.359
 and that because

00:24:46.359 --> 00:24:47.139
 He loves us,

00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:47.740
 He wants us

00:24:47.740 --> 00:24:48.500
 to get involved

00:24:48.500 --> 00:24:48.980
 in that.

00:24:49.279 --> 00:24:49.879
 That He just

00:24:49.879 --> 00:24:50.700
 is waiting,

00:24:50.700 --> 00:24:52.120
 just go share,

00:24:52.539 --> 00:24:53.840
 just go be the friend

00:24:53.840 --> 00:24:54.799
 you know you're

00:24:54.799 --> 00:24:55.680
 supposed to be.

00:24:56.279 --> 00:24:57.340
 Open your mouth

00:24:57.340 --> 00:24:58.299
 and give gospel

00:24:58.299 --> 00:24:58.920
 proclamation

00:24:58.920 --> 00:24:59.840
 and I'll change

00:24:59.840 --> 00:25:00.480
 their heart

00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:01.740
 and you'll both

00:25:01.740 --> 00:25:02.620
 be immensely blessed

00:25:02.620 --> 00:25:03.900
 and I'll be glorified

00:25:03.900 --> 00:25:04.900
 in this.

00:25:05.580 --> 00:25:06.180
 Do you find that

00:25:06.180 --> 00:25:06.819
 you do that

00:25:06.819 --> 00:25:08.140
 with your friends

00:25:08.140 --> 00:25:08.880
 assuming that

00:25:08.880 --> 00:25:10.140
 they're so far gone?

00:25:10.960 --> 00:25:12.140
 They're so dark

00:25:12.140 --> 00:25:13.200
 in their understanding

00:25:13.200 --> 00:25:13.880
 that God can't

00:25:13.880 --> 00:25:14.759
 change their hearts?

00:25:16.259 --> 00:25:17.860
 He changed yours.

00:25:17.859 --> 00:25:19.479
 You're no further,

00:25:19.839 --> 00:25:21.000
 you're no better off

00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:23.379
 than they are.

00:25:24.639 --> 00:25:25.079
 Secondly,

00:25:27.319 --> 00:25:28.779
 God's love for us

00:25:28.779 --> 00:25:29.719
 may too often

00:25:29.719 --> 00:25:31.199
 be stale

00:25:31.199 --> 00:25:32.339
 in our minds

00:25:32.339 --> 00:25:32.859
 and hearts.

00:25:33.399 --> 00:25:34.359
 Not fresh,

00:25:35.119 --> 00:25:35.639
 stale,

00:25:35.779 --> 00:25:36.719
 like it's a forgotten

00:25:36.719 --> 00:25:38.399
 thing how incredibly

00:25:38.399 --> 00:25:40.359
 God has loved us.

00:25:40.419 --> 00:25:41.939
 Turn to Psalm 103.

00:25:41.940 --> 00:25:55.480
 For our ministry

00:25:55.480 --> 00:25:55.880
 apprenticeship,

00:25:56.059 --> 00:25:56.460
 we're reading

00:25:56.460 --> 00:25:57.600
 through the Bible

00:25:57.600 --> 00:25:58.039
 in a year,

00:25:58.120 --> 00:25:58.840
 this chronological

00:25:58.840 --> 00:25:59.880
 Bible reading plan

00:25:59.880 --> 00:26:00.779
 we're doing

00:26:00.779 --> 00:26:01.720
 and Psalm 103

00:26:01.720 --> 00:26:02.539
 was part of that reading

00:26:02.539 --> 00:26:03.500
 a couple of weeks ago

00:26:03.500 --> 00:26:04.900
 and God just really

00:26:04.900 --> 00:26:05.980
 arrested my attention

00:26:05.980 --> 00:26:06.920
 and I've been meditating

00:26:06.920 --> 00:26:09.259
 on verses 8-12

00:26:09.259 --> 00:26:10.240
 and it is good.

00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:11.440
 Let me read it to you.

00:26:11.500 --> 00:26:12.180
 I hope it'll have

00:26:12.180 --> 00:26:13.640
 some of the same effect

00:26:13.640 --> 00:26:14.380
 it's had on me.

00:26:16.380 --> 00:26:17.200
 Psalm 103

00:26:17.200 --> 00:26:17.960
 verses 8-12

00:26:17.960 --> 00:26:19.620
 The Lord is merciful

00:26:19.620 --> 00:26:21.120
 and gracious,

00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:23.059
 slow to anger

00:26:23.059 --> 00:26:24.480
 and abounding

00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:26.140
 in steadfast love.

00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:28.120
 He will not always chide

00:26:28.120 --> 00:26:29.059
 nor will He keep

00:26:29.059 --> 00:26:30.519
 His anger forever.

00:26:31.279 --> 00:26:33.099
 He does not deal with us

00:26:33.099 --> 00:26:35.019
 according to our sins

00:26:35.019 --> 00:26:36.940
 nor repay us

00:26:36.940 --> 00:26:38.579
 according to our iniquities.

00:26:39.259 --> 00:26:39.720
 Praise Him.

00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:41.759
 For as high

00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:43.079
 as the heavens are

00:26:43.079 --> 00:26:43.940
 above the earth

00:26:43.940 --> 00:26:44.720
 Anybody know?

00:26:45.480 --> 00:26:45.839
 Infinite.

00:26:46.200 --> 00:26:47.120
 That's what is trying

00:26:47.120 --> 00:26:48.000
 to be communicated here.

00:26:48.140 --> 00:26:48.799
 I'm sure there's a measure

00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:49.620
 but it's infinite

00:26:49.620 --> 00:26:50.819
 is what is being

00:26:50.819 --> 00:26:51.519
 communicated here.

00:26:51.640 --> 00:26:52.359
 As high as the heavens

00:26:52.359 --> 00:26:53.000
 are above the earth

00:26:53.000 --> 00:26:54.319
 so great

00:26:54.319 --> 00:26:56.039
 is His steadfast love

00:26:56.039 --> 00:26:56.960
 toward those

00:26:56.960 --> 00:26:57.620
 who fear Him.

00:26:58.480 --> 00:27:00.240
 Just stare up at the sky

00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:00.980
 when you walk out

00:27:00.980 --> 00:27:02.259
 of this building today.

00:27:02.819 --> 00:27:03.339
 Verse 12

00:27:03.339 --> 00:27:04.920
 As far as the east

00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:06.160
 is from the west

00:27:06.160 --> 00:27:08.140
 so far does He remove

00:27:08.140 --> 00:27:10.140
 our transgressions from us.

00:27:10.140 --> 00:27:10.580
 Do you know how far

00:27:10.580 --> 00:27:11.480
 the east is from the west?

00:27:12.540 --> 00:27:13.380
 It's infinite.

00:27:13.780 --> 00:27:14.820
 No matter where you go

00:27:14.820 --> 00:27:15.900
 no matter where you travel

00:27:15.900 --> 00:27:16.600
 in the circumference

00:27:16.600 --> 00:27:17.280
 of this planet

00:27:17.280 --> 00:27:18.980
 the east and the west

00:27:18.980 --> 00:27:19.860
 will always be

00:27:19.860 --> 00:27:20.860
 infinitely far

00:27:20.860 --> 00:27:22.380
 from one another.

00:27:22.580 --> 00:27:23.780
 This is God's

00:27:23.780 --> 00:27:24.480
 great love

00:27:24.480 --> 00:27:25.800
 for us.

00:27:25.980 --> 00:27:26.860
 It is infinite

00:27:26.860 --> 00:27:27.500
 in its nature.

00:27:27.880 --> 00:27:28.680
 It is good.

00:27:30.300 --> 00:27:31.120
 1 John 4.19

00:27:31.120 --> 00:27:32.380
 says that we love

00:27:32.380 --> 00:27:34.380
 because He first

00:27:34.380 --> 00:27:35.300
 loved us.

00:27:35.299 --> 00:27:36.980
 that the reason

00:27:36.980 --> 00:27:37.980
 in which we can

00:27:37.980 --> 00:27:38.639
 reach out

00:27:38.639 --> 00:27:39.359
 and we can love

00:27:39.359 --> 00:27:39.799
 others

00:27:39.799 --> 00:27:40.279
 that we can have

00:27:40.279 --> 00:27:41.119
 affection for other

00:27:41.119 --> 00:27:41.839
 people is because

00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:42.980
 of God's great love

00:27:42.980 --> 00:27:44.879
 for us.

00:27:46.319 --> 00:27:47.639
 Luke 6.45

00:27:47.639 --> 00:27:48.359
 Jesus says

00:27:48.359 --> 00:27:49.299
 the good person

00:27:49.299 --> 00:27:50.519
 out of the good

00:27:50.519 --> 00:27:51.359
 treasure of his heart

00:27:51.359 --> 00:27:52.220
 produces good

00:27:52.220 --> 00:27:53.879
 and the evil person

00:27:53.879 --> 00:27:54.579
 out of his evil

00:27:54.579 --> 00:27:55.359
 treasure produces

00:27:55.359 --> 00:27:56.240
 evil.

00:27:57.240 --> 00:27:57.819
 For out of the

00:27:57.819 --> 00:27:58.279
 abundance

00:27:58.279 --> 00:27:59.879
 of the heart

00:27:59.879 --> 00:28:01.279
 his mouth

00:28:01.279 --> 00:28:02.000
 speaks.

00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:04.160
 beloved

00:28:04.160 --> 00:28:04.960
 what do you

00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:05.980
 speak about?

00:28:06.819 --> 00:28:07.359
 What do you

00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:08.299
 get excited

00:28:08.299 --> 00:28:09.460
 about talking

00:28:09.460 --> 00:28:10.660
 about?

00:28:11.380 --> 00:28:11.960
 Many of you

00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:12.400
 know that

00:28:12.400 --> 00:28:13.059
 kind of

00:28:13.059 --> 00:28:13.460
 sort of

00:28:13.460 --> 00:28:14.200
 in a past

00:28:14.200 --> 00:28:14.819
 life of mine

00:28:14.819 --> 00:28:15.579
 some

00:28:15.579 --> 00:28:16.599
 oh a decade

00:28:16.599 --> 00:28:16.940
 ago

00:28:16.940 --> 00:28:18.140
 I used to do

00:28:18.140 --> 00:28:18.720
 a lot of

00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:19.299
 white water

00:28:19.299 --> 00:28:19.759
 paddling

00:28:19.759 --> 00:28:21.500
 very into that

00:28:21.500 --> 00:28:22.019
 Wes and I

00:28:22.019 --> 00:28:22.859
 part of our

00:28:22.859 --> 00:28:23.460
 friendship was

00:28:23.460 --> 00:28:24.079
 formed around

00:28:24.079 --> 00:28:24.619
 paddling

00:28:24.619 --> 00:28:25.700
 together

00:28:25.700 --> 00:28:26.759
 in fact

00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:27.440
 Wes has

00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:28.319
 most of my

00:28:28.319 --> 00:28:28.559
 gear

00:28:28.559 --> 00:28:28.960
 and just

00:28:28.960 --> 00:28:29.480
 uses it

00:28:29.480 --> 00:28:32.500
 you are

00:28:32.500 --> 00:28:32.839
 welcome

00:28:32.839 --> 00:28:36.279
 I used to

00:28:36.279 --> 00:28:36.460
 be a

00:28:36.460 --> 00:28:36.740

00:28:37.019 --> 00:28:37.460
 instructor

00:28:37.460 --> 00:28:38.059
 and still

00:28:38.059 --> 00:28:38.400
 to this

00:28:38.400 --> 00:28:38.559
 day

00:28:38.559 --> 00:28:38.839
 if somebody

00:28:38.839 --> 00:28:39.259
 talks about

00:28:39.259 --> 00:28:39.799
 white water

00:28:39.799 --> 00:28:40.579
 my ears

00:28:40.579 --> 00:28:41.079
 perk up

00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:41.620
 and I want

00:28:41.620 --> 00:28:42.000
 to go over

00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:42.240
 and hear

00:28:42.240 --> 00:28:42.599
 what's going

00:28:42.599 --> 00:28:42.860
 on

00:28:42.860 --> 00:28:43.160
 like what

00:28:43.160 --> 00:28:43.380
 river

00:28:43.380 --> 00:28:43.680
 they were

00:28:43.680 --> 00:28:43.860

00:28:44.079 --> 00:28:44.200
 they

00:28:44.200 --> 00:28:44.779
 experienced

00:28:44.779 --> 00:28:45.059
 it

00:28:45.059 --> 00:28:45.500
 even if

00:28:45.500 --> 00:28:45.860
 from

00:28:45.860 --> 00:28:46.559
 rafting

00:28:47.700 --> 00:28:48.200
 class 5

00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:48.480
 I want

00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:48.740
 to know

00:28:48.740 --> 00:28:48.900
 what's

00:28:48.900 --> 00:28:49.259
 going on

00:28:49.259 --> 00:28:49.400
 that

00:28:49.400 --> 00:28:49.880
 excites

00:28:49.880 --> 00:28:50.019
 me

00:28:50.019 --> 00:28:50.240
 I want

00:28:50.240 --> 00:28:50.500
 to be

00:28:50.500 --> 00:28:51.180
 around

00:28:51.180 --> 00:28:51.339
 it

00:28:51.339 --> 00:28:51.460

00:28:51.720 --> 00:28:51.900
 the

00:28:51.900 --> 00:28:52.099
 same

00:28:52.099 --> 00:28:52.480
 thing

00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:52.920
 with

00:28:52.920 --> 00:28:53.039

00:28:53.640 --> 00:28:54.059
 Christ

00:28:54.059 --> 00:28:54.720
 do

00:28:54.720 --> 00:28:54.839

00:28:54.839 --> 00:28:55.120
 find

00:28:55.120 --> 00:28:55.539
 ways

00:28:59.480 --> 00:28:59.680
 it

00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:00.220
 not

00:29:00.220 --> 00:29:00.420
 because

00:29:00.420 --> 00:29:00.579
 there's

00:29:00.579 --> 00:29:00.740
 some

00:29:00.740 --> 00:29:01.140

00:29:01.140 --> 00:29:01.319
 to

00:29:01.319 --> 00:29:01.599

00:29:01.599 --> 00:29:01.839
 it

00:29:01.839 --> 00:29:02.700
 but

00:29:04.900 --> 00:29:05.200
 out of

00:29:05.200 --> 00:29:05.360
 our

00:29:13.420 --> 00:29:14.200
 most

00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:14.860
 about

00:29:14.860 --> 00:29:15.120
 is

00:29:15.120 --> 00:29:15.259
 the

00:29:15.259 --> 00:29:15.620
 thing

00:29:15.620 --> 00:29:16.000
 you

00:29:16.000 --> 00:29:16.140
 will

00:29:16.140 --> 00:29:16.500
 talk

00:29:16.500 --> 00:29:16.900
 about

00:29:16.900 --> 00:29:18.059
 most

00:29:18.059 --> 00:29:19.140
 so

00:29:19.819 --> 00:29:19.980

00:29:20.099 --> 00:29:20.240
 we

00:29:20.240 --> 00:29:20.759
 don't

00:29:20.759 --> 00:29:21.539

00:29:21.640 --> 00:29:21.839
 find

00:29:21.839 --> 00:29:22.059
 ourselves

00:29:22.059 --> 00:29:22.180

 situations

00:29:22.620 --> 00:29:22.839
 where

00:29:22.839 --> 00:29:22.960
 we

00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:23.079
 would

00:29:23.079 --> 00:29:23.299
 rather

00:29:33.879 --> 00:29:34.159
 is

00:29:34.159 --> 00:29:35.139
 after

00:29:35.139 --> 00:29:35.339
 the

00:29:35.339 --> 00:29:35.759
 stoning

00:29:59.920 --> 00:30:00.220
 house

00:30:00.220 --> 00:30:00.380
 he

00:30:00.380 --> 00:30:00.759
 dragged

00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:01.019
 off

00:30:01.019 --> 00:30:01.360
 men

00:30:01.360 --> 00:30:02.380
 and

00:30:02.380 --> 00:30:02.680
 women

00:30:02.680 --> 00:30:03.340
 and

00:30:03.340 --> 00:30:03.660
 committed

00:30:03.660 --> 00:30:03.880
 them

00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:04.019
 to

00:30:04.019 --> 00:30:04.360
 prison

00:30:04.360 --> 00:30:04.900
 and

00:30:04.900 --> 00:30:04.980
 so

00:30:04.980 --> 00:30:05.160
 there's

00:30:05.160 --> 00:30:05.319
 this

00:30:05.319 --> 00:30:06.039
 great

00:30:06.039 --> 00:30:06.319
 deal

00:30:06.319 --> 00:30:06.500
 the

00:30:06.500 --> 00:30:06.900
 early

00:30:06.900 --> 00:30:07.220
 days

00:30:07.220 --> 00:30:07.340
 of

00:30:07.340 --> 00:30:07.460
 the

00:30:07.460 --> 00:30:07.759
 church

00:30:07.759 --> 00:30:07.960
 that

00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:08.240
 formed

00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:08.400
 in

00:30:08.400 --> 00:30:08.660
 Jerusalem

00:30:08.660 --> 00:30:08.880
 after

00:30:08.880 --> 00:30:09.000
 the

00:30:09.000 --> 00:30:09.180
 days

00:30:09.180 --> 00:30:09.299
 of

00:30:09.299 --> 00:30:09.720
 Pentecost

00:30:09.720 --> 00:30:10.180
 there's

00:30:10.180 --> 00:30:10.319
 this

00:30:10.319 --> 00:30:10.660
 great

00:30:10.660 --> 00:30:10.860
 deal

00:30:10.860 --> 00:30:10.980
 of

00:30:10.980 --> 00:30:11.380
 persecution

00:30:11.380 --> 00:30:11.640
 at

00:30:11.640 --> 00:30:11.740
 the

00:30:11.740 --> 00:30:11.960
 hands

00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:12.120
 of

00:30:12.120 --> 00:30:12.319
 Saul

00:30:12.319 --> 00:30:12.720
 and

00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:12.920
 look

00:30:12.920 --> 00:30:13.019
 at

00:30:13.019 --> 00:30:13.140
 the

00:30:13.140 --> 00:30:13.519
 way

00:30:13.519 --> 00:30:13.740
 that

00:30:13.740 --> 00:30:13.940
 God

00:30:13.940 --> 00:30:14.079
 is

00:30:14.079 --> 00:30:14.340
 even

00:30:14.340 --> 00:30:14.720
 now

00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:15.100
 using

00:30:15.100 --> 00:30:15.500
 Saul

00:30:15.500 --> 00:30:15.740
 to

00:30:23.460 --> 00:30:23.900
 and

00:30:23.900 --> 00:30:24.180
 a

00:30:24.180 --> 00:30:24.840
 better

00:30:24.840 --> 00:30:25.519
 word

00:30:25.519 --> 00:30:26.079
 that's

00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:26.440
 translated

00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:26.860
 here

00:30:26.860 --> 00:30:27.059
 into

00:30:27.059 --> 00:30:27.200
 our

00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:27.480
 English

00:30:27.480 --> 00:30:27.920
 preaching

00:30:27.920 --> 00:30:28.500
 would be

00:30:28.500 --> 00:30:28.700
 and

00:30:28.700 --> 00:30:29.819
 gossiped

00:30:29.819 --> 00:30:30.079
 the

00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:30.360
 word

00:30:30.360 --> 00:30:30.840
 but

00:30:30.840 --> 00:30:30.960
 we

00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:31.100
 think

00:30:31.100 --> 00:30:31.200
 of

00:30:31.200 --> 00:30:31.400
 gossip

00:30:31.400 --> 00:30:31.539
 as

00:30:31.539 --> 00:30:31.640
 a

00:30:31.640 --> 00:30:31.860
 bad

00:30:31.860 --> 00:30:32.100
 thing

00:30:32.100 --> 00:30:32.360
 so

00:30:32.360 --> 00:30:32.799
 we

00:30:32.799 --> 00:30:32.900
 got to

00:30:32.900 --> 00:30:33.000
 be

00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:33.200
 careful

00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:33.420
 about

00:30:33.420 --> 00:30:33.620
 our

00:30:33.620 --> 00:30:34.420
 translation

00:30:34.420 --> 00:30:34.860
 but

00:30:34.860 --> 00:30:35.160
 it

00:30:35.160 --> 00:30:35.360
 literally

00:30:35.360 --> 00:30:35.600
 means

00:30:35.600 --> 00:30:35.779
 they

00:30:35.779 --> 00:30:35.960
 went

00:30:35.960 --> 00:30:36.240
 about

00:30:36.240 --> 00:30:36.640
 just

00:30:36.640 --> 00:30:37.279
 talking

00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:37.640
 about

00:30:37.640 --> 00:30:37.819
 what

00:30:37.819 --> 00:30:37.980
 had

00:30:37.980 --> 00:30:38.299
 happened

00:30:38.299 --> 00:30:38.460
 in

00:30:38.460 --> 00:30:38.819
 Jerusalem

00:30:38.819 --> 00:30:39.319
 and

00:30:39.319 --> 00:30:39.460
 what

00:30:39.460 --> 00:30:39.680
 Jesus

00:30:39.680 --> 00:30:39.900
 had

00:30:39.900 --> 00:30:40.059
 done

00:30:40.059 --> 00:30:40.240
 for

00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:40.480
 them

00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:40.819
 they

00:30:40.819 --> 00:30:40.980
 went

00:30:40.980 --> 00:30:41.200
 about

00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:41.660
 sharing

00:30:41.660 --> 00:30:41.960
 that

00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:42.279
 with

00:30:42.279 --> 00:30:42.720
 everyone

00:30:42.720 --> 00:30:43.460
 they

00:30:43.460 --> 00:30:44.319
 encountered

00:30:44.319 --> 00:30:45.620
 we

00:30:45.620 --> 00:30:45.779
 see

00:30:45.779 --> 00:30:45.920
 this

00:30:45.920 --> 00:30:46.140
 great

00:30:46.140 --> 00:30:46.720
 massive

00:30:46.720 --> 00:30:47.920
 advance

00:30:47.920 --> 00:30:48.500
 of the

00:30:48.500 --> 00:30:48.880
 gospel

00:30:48.880 --> 00:30:49.480
 because

00:30:49.480 --> 00:30:49.920
 of

00:30:49.920 --> 00:30:50.200
 the

00:30:50.200 --> 00:30:50.760
 persecution

00:30:50.760 --> 00:30:51.380
 because

00:30:51.380 --> 00:30:51.700
 of

00:30:51.700 --> 00:30:51.800
 the

00:30:51.800 --> 00:30:52.000
 work

00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:52.100
 of

00:30:52.100 --> 00:30:52.200
 the

00:30:52.200 --> 00:30:52.560
 apostles

00:30:52.560 --> 00:30:53.140
 out

00:30:53.140 --> 00:30:53.280
 and

00:30:53.280 --> 00:30:53.580
 beyond

00:30:53.580 --> 00:30:53.860
 because

00:30:53.860 --> 00:30:54.040
 it

00:30:54.040 --> 00:30:55.340
 overflowed

00:30:55.340 --> 00:30:55.900
 out

00:30:55.900 --> 00:30:56.400
 of

00:30:56.400 --> 00:30:56.520
 their

00:30:56.520 --> 00:30:56.940
 hearts

00:30:56.940 --> 00:30:58.060
 and

00:30:58.060 --> 00:30:58.200
 I'm

00:30:58.200 --> 00:30:58.500
 afraid

00:30:58.500 --> 00:30:58.720
 for

00:30:58.720 --> 00:30:58.900
 many

00:30:58.900 --> 00:30:59.080
 of

00:30:59.080 --> 00:30:59.240
 us

00:30:59.240 --> 00:30:59.500
 too

00:30:59.500 --> 00:30:59.940
 often

00:30:59.940 --> 00:31:00.640
 that

00:31:00.640 --> 00:31:00.900
 truth

00:31:00.900 --> 00:31:01.080
 is

00:31:01.080 --> 00:31:01.540
 stale

00:31:01.540 --> 00:31:01.880
 in

00:31:01.880 --> 00:31:02.180
 us

00:31:02.180 --> 00:31:03.200
 forgotten

00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:03.620
 it

00:31:03.620 --> 00:31:03.820
 just

00:31:03.820 --> 00:31:04.080
 doesn't

00:31:04.080 --> 00:31:04.280
 have

00:31:04.280 --> 00:31:04.700
 effect

00:31:04.700 --> 00:31:05.400
 any

00:31:05.400 --> 00:31:05.740
 longer

00:31:05.740 --> 00:31:06.340
 the

00:31:06.340 --> 00:31:06.480
 way

00:31:06.480 --> 00:31:06.620
 you

00:31:06.620 --> 00:31:06.900
 renew

00:31:06.900 --> 00:31:07.120
 that

00:31:07.120 --> 00:31:07.280
 in

00:31:07.280 --> 00:31:07.680
 yourself

00:31:07.680 --> 00:31:07.920
 as

00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:08.000
 you

00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:08.240
 get

00:31:08.240 --> 00:31:08.480
 into

00:31:08.480 --> 00:31:08.620
 the

00:31:08.620 --> 00:31:08.780
 word

00:31:08.780 --> 00:31:08.940
 of

00:31:08.940 --> 00:31:09.220
 God

00:31:09.220 --> 00:31:09.540
 and

00:31:09.540 --> 00:31:09.620
 you

00:31:09.620 --> 00:31:09.760
 let

00:31:09.760 --> 00:31:09.880
 the

00:31:09.880 --> 00:31:10.100
 gospel

 to

00:31:10.600 --> 00:31:10.820
 you

 you

00:31:11.720 --> 00:31:12.600
 get

00:31:12.599 --> 00:31:12.779
 around

00:31:12.779 --> 00:31:12.939
 the

00:31:12.939 --> 00:31:13.179
 church

00:31:13.179 --> 00:31:13.359
 and

00:31:13.359 --> 00:31:13.459
 let

00:31:13.459 --> 00:31:13.659
 people

00:31:13.659 --> 00:31:14.000

 to

00:31:14.619 --> 00:31:14.779
 you

00:31:14.779 --> 00:31:15.119
 you

00:31:15.740 --> 00:31:16.119
 gospel

00:31:16.119 --> 00:31:16.559
 songs

00:31:16.559 --> 00:31:16.740
 the

00:31:16.740 --> 00:31:16.919
 reason

00:31:16.919 --> 00:31:17.079
 we

00:31:17.079 --> 00:31:17.279
 keep

00:31:17.659 --> 00:31:18.039
 low

00:31:21.859 --> 00:31:22.219
 good

00:31:22.219 --> 00:31:22.659
 and

00:31:27.319 --> 00:31:29.259
 I

00:31:29.259 --> 00:31:29.379

00:33:37.839 --> 00:33:38.279
 in fact

00:33:38.279 --> 00:33:38.619
 Jesus

00:33:38.619 --> 00:33:39.059
 has

 he

00:33:42.039 --> 00:33:42.420
 lets

00:33:42.420 --> 00:33:42.660
 him

00:33:42.660 --> 00:33:43.200
 act

00:33:43.200 --> 00:33:44.779
 only

00:33:44.779 --> 00:33:45.039
 under

00:33:45.660 --> 00:33:46.420
 it's

 subjected

00:33:47.160 --> 00:33:47.839
 to

00:33:47.839 --> 00:33:48.200
 him

00:33:48.200 --> 00:33:49.059
 this

00:33:49.059 --> 00:33:49.240
 is

00:33:49.240 --> 00:33:49.440
 our

00:33:52.220 --> 00:33:52.480
 world

00:33:52.480 --> 00:33:52.759
 seems

00:33:52.759 --> 00:33:53.019
 so

00:33:53.019 --> 00:33:53.660
 overbearing

00:33:53.660 --> 00:33:53.839

00:33:53.839 --> 00:33:54.359
 times

00:33:54.359 --> 00:33:56.000
 if

00:33:56.000 --> 00:33:56.099
 you're

00:33:56.099 --> 00:33:56.200
 in

00:33:56.200 --> 00:33:56.299
 the

00:33:58.519 --> 00:33:58.700
 for

00:33:58.700 --> 00:33:58.960
 us

00:33:58.960 --> 00:34:00.059
 who

00:34:00.059 --> 00:34:00.220
 can

00:34:00.220 --> 00:34:00.340
 be

00:34:00.620 --> 00:34:00.980
 us

00:34:00.980 --> 00:34:02.460
 so

00:34:02.460 --> 00:34:02.579
 we

00:34:02.579 --> 00:34:02.700
 may

 this

 true

00:34:34.019 --> 00:34:34.159
 in

00:34:34.159 --> 00:34:34.340
 me

00:34:34.340 --> 00:34:34.680
 often

00:34:34.680 --> 00:34:34.820
 I

00:34:34.820 --> 00:34:35.139
 become

00:34:35.139 --> 00:34:35.440
 kind

 numb

00:34:35.940 --> 00:34:36.360
 and

00:34:36.360 --> 00:34:36.480
 I

00:34:36.480 --> 00:34:36.740
 don't

00:34:36.740 --> 00:34:37.039
 tend

00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:37.180
 to

00:34:37.180 --> 00:34:37.360
 look

00:34:37.360 --> 00:34:37.460
 at

00:34:37.460 --> 00:34:37.680
 people

00:34:37.680 --> 00:34:37.880
 through

 so

00:34:40.019 --> 00:34:40.159
 there's

00:34:40.159 --> 00:34:40.319
 that

00:34:40.319 --> 00:34:41.179
 agitation

00:34:41.179 --> 00:34:41.419
 about

 guy

00:34:41.739 --> 00:34:41.879
 that

00:34:41.879 --> 00:34:42.079
 pulls

00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:42.219
 out

00:34:42.219 --> 00:34:42.339
 in

00:34:42.339 --> 00:34:42.519
 front

00:34:42.519 --> 00:34:42.619
 of

00:34:42.619 --> 00:34:42.779
 you

00:34:42.779 --> 00:34:43.279
 on

00:34:43.279 --> 00:34:43.399
 the

00:34:43.399 --> 00:34:43.699
 road

00:34:43.699 --> 00:34:44.419
 that's

00:34:44.419 --> 00:34:44.500
 an

00:34:44.500 --> 00:34:44.879
 eternal

00:34:44.879 --> 00:34:45.459
 soul

00:34:45.459 --> 00:34:45.879
 the

00:34:45.879 --> 00:34:46.000
 one

00:34:46.000 --> 00:34:46.119
 that

00:34:46.119 --> 00:34:46.279
 you're

00:34:46.279 --> 00:34:46.679
 so

00:34:46.679 --> 00:34:47.500
 frustrated

00:34:47.500 --> 00:34:47.839
 with

00:34:47.839 --> 00:34:48.179
 because

00:34:48.179 --> 00:34:48.319
 he

00:34:48.319 --> 00:34:49.159
 inconvenienced

00:34:49.159 --> 00:34:49.319
 me

00:34:49.319 --> 00:34:49.639
 30

00:34:49.639 --> 00:34:50.159
 seconds

00:34:50.159 --> 00:34:50.319
 on

00:34:50.319 --> 00:34:50.500
 my

00:34:50.500 --> 00:34:50.879
 commute

00:34:50.879 --> 00:34:51.259
 from

00:34:51.259 --> 00:34:52.039
 Gainesville

00:34:52.039 --> 00:34:52.219
 to

00:34:52.219 --> 00:34:52.439
 this

00:34:52.439 --> 00:34:52.939
 building

00:34:52.939 --> 00:34:55.199
 who

00:34:55.199 --> 00:34:55.819
 cares

00:34:55.819 --> 00:34:57.199
 really

00:34:57.199 --> 00:34:58.859
 the

00:34:58.859 --> 00:34:59.039
 world

00:34:59.039 --> 00:34:59.219
 is

00:34:59.219 --> 00:34:59.699
 broken

00:34:59.699 --> 00:35:00.319

00:35:39.079 --> 00:35:39.420
 really

00:35:39.420 --> 00:35:40.000
 considered

00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:40.660
 what

00:35:40.660 --> 00:35:40.860
 your

00:35:43.260 --> 00:35:43.539
 therefore

00:35:43.539 --> 00:35:43.820
 what

00:35:43.820 --> 00:35:44.200
 Jesus

 delivered

 from

00:35:45.660 --> 00:35:46.700
 eternal

00:35:46.700 --> 00:35:47.280
 damnation

00:35:49.000 --> 00:35:50.000
 Paul says

00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:50.660
 they will

00:35:50.660 --> 00:35:50.960
 suffer

00:35:50.960 --> 00:35:51.180
 the

00:35:51.180 --> 00:35:51.680
 punishment

00:35:51.680 --> 00:35:52.480
 of

 eternal

00:35:54.300 --> 00:35:54.900
 being

00:35:54.900 --> 00:35:55.740
 destroyed

00:35:55.740 --> 00:35:56.660
 for

00:35:56.660 --> 00:35:57.240
 forever

00:35:57.240 --> 00:35:57.640
 and I

00:35:57.640 --> 00:35:57.980
 can't

00:35:57.980 --> 00:35:58.160
 even

00:35:58.160 --> 00:35:58.640
 possibly

00:35:58.640 --> 00:35:58.920
 wrap

00:35:58.920 --> 00:35:59.079
 my

00:35:59.079 --> 00:35:59.300
 mind

00:35:59.300 --> 00:35:59.519
 around

00:35:59.519 --> 00:35:59.680
 what

00:35:59.680 --> 00:36:00.019
 eternity

00:36:00.019 --> 00:36:00.579
 is

00:36:00.579 --> 00:36:00.920
 like

00:36:00.920 --> 00:36:01.140
 but

00:36:01.140 --> 00:36:01.940
 forever

00:36:01.940 --> 00:36:02.500
 this

00:36:02.500 --> 00:36:02.860
 destruction

00:36:02.860 --> 00:36:03.059
 will

00:36:03.059 --> 00:36:03.400
 go

00:36:03.400 --> 00:36:03.680
 on

00:36:03.680 --> 00:36:05.000
 and

00:36:05.000 --> 00:36:05.140
 he

00:36:05.140 --> 00:36:05.519
 adds

00:36:05.519 --> 00:36:05.700
 to

00:36:05.700 --> 00:36:06.099
 this

00:36:06.099 --> 00:36:06.980
 probably

00:36:06.980 --> 00:36:07.120
 the

00:36:07.120 --> 00:36:07.320
 more

00:36:07.320 --> 00:36:07.960
 piercing

00:36:07.960 --> 00:36:08.500
 aspect

00:36:08.500 --> 00:36:08.760
 of

00:36:08.760 --> 00:36:08.860
 it

00:36:08.860 --> 00:36:09.280
 away

00:36:09.280 --> 00:36:10.000
 from

00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:10.180
 the

00:36:10.180 --> 00:36:10.800
 presence

00:36:10.800 --> 00:36:11.360
 of

00:36:11.360 --> 00:36:11.519
 the

00:36:11.519 --> 00:36:11.880
 Lord

00:36:11.880 --> 00:36:12.180
 and

00:36:12.180 --> 00:36:12.440
 from

00:36:12.440 --> 00:36:12.760
 the

00:36:12.760 --> 00:36:13.200
 glory

00:36:13.200 --> 00:36:13.720
 of

00:36:13.720 --> 00:36:13.860
 his

00:36:13.860 --> 00:36:14.240
 might

00:36:14.240 --> 00:36:15.440
 separated

00:36:15.440 --> 00:36:15.780
 from

00:36:15.780 --> 00:36:16.180
 God

00:36:16.180 --> 00:36:17.539
 forever

00:36:17.539 --> 00:36:18.680
 it's

00:36:18.680 --> 00:36:19.120
 a great

00:36:19.120 --> 00:36:19.360
 deal

00:36:19.360 --> 00:36:19.559
 of

00:36:19.559 --> 00:36:20.039
 tragedy

00:36:20.039 --> 00:36:20.800
 in

00:36:20.800 --> 00:36:21.140
 that

00:36:21.140 --> 00:36:23.700
 whiteboard

00:36:23.700 --> 00:36:24.140
 it's been

00:36:24.140 --> 00:36:24.380
 here for

00:36:24.380 --> 00:36:24.599
 a while

00:36:24.599 --> 00:36:24.840
 hasn't

00:36:24.840 --> 00:36:25.039
 it

00:36:25.039 --> 00:36:26.800
 I'm

00:36:26.800 --> 00:36:26.860
 going

00:36:26.860 --> 00:36:26.880
 to

00:36:26.880 --> 00:36:27.000
 try

00:36:27.000 --> 00:36:27.120
 to

00:36:27.120 --> 00:36:27.320
 stand

00:36:27.320 --> 00:36:27.420
 in

00:36:27.420 --> 00:36:27.559
 such

00:36:27.559 --> 00:36:27.640
 a

00:36:27.640 --> 00:36:27.720
 way

00:36:27.720 --> 00:36:27.860
 that

00:36:27.860 --> 00:36:28.079
 everybody

00:36:28.079 --> 00:36:28.320
 can

00:36:28.320 --> 00:36:28.800
 see

00:36:28.800 --> 00:36:29.960
 I

00:36:29.960 --> 00:36:30.260
 tried

00:36:30.260 --> 00:36:30.420
 to

00:36:30.420 --> 00:36:30.700
 draw

00:36:30.700 --> 00:36:31.079
 the

00:36:31.079 --> 00:36:31.320
 three

00:36:31.320 --> 00:36:31.720
 counties

00:36:31.720 --> 00:36:31.880
 that

00:36:31.880 --> 00:36:32.000
 we

00:36:32.000 --> 00:36:32.680
 mostly

00:36:32.679 --> 00:36:33.239
 affect

00:36:33.239 --> 00:36:33.419
 and

00:36:33.419 --> 00:36:33.639
 live

00:36:33.639 --> 00:36:33.799
 in

00:36:33.799 --> 00:36:37.659
 Dawson

00:36:37.659 --> 00:36:38.039
 County

00:36:38.039 --> 00:36:38.679
 Lumpkin

00:36:38.679 --> 00:36:39.099
 County

00:36:39.099 --> 00:36:39.859
 Hall

00:36:39.859 --> 00:36:40.199
 County

00:36:40.199 --> 00:36:41.839
 here's

00:36:41.839 --> 00:36:42.000
 your

00:36:42.000 --> 00:36:42.839
 city

00:36:42.839 --> 00:36:43.239
 centers

00:36:43.239 --> 00:36:43.699
 Dahlonega

00:36:43.699 --> 00:36:44.219
 Gainesville

00:36:44.219 --> 00:36:45.119
 Dawsonville

00:36:45.119 --> 00:36:45.879
 and this

00:36:45.879 --> 00:36:46.379
 is approximately

00:36:46.379 --> 00:36:46.759
 where we

00:36:46.759 --> 00:36:46.980
 are

00:36:46.980 --> 00:36:47.619
 it's a

00:36:47.619 --> 00:36:47.940
 star

00:36:47.940 --> 00:36:48.239
 I'm

00:36:48.239 --> 00:36:48.339
 sure

00:36:48.339 --> 00:36:48.519
 it looks

00:36:48.519 --> 00:36:48.639
 like

00:36:48.639 --> 00:36:48.739
 a

00:36:48.739 --> 00:36:49.039
 blob

00:36:49.039 --> 00:36:49.279
 from

00:36:49.279 --> 00:36:49.419
 where

00:36:49.419 --> 00:36:49.559
 you

00:36:49.559 --> 00:36:49.759
 are

00:36:49.759 --> 00:36:50.119
 out

00:36:50.119 --> 00:36:50.359
 there

00:36:50.359 --> 00:36:51.339
 so

00:36:51.339 --> 00:36:51.559
 just

00:36:51.559 --> 00:36:51.779
 three

00:36:51.779 --> 00:36:52.099
 counties

00:36:52.099 --> 00:36:52.319
 and we

00:36:52.319 --> 00:36:52.539
 certainly

00:36:52.539 --> 00:36:52.739
 have

00:36:52.739 --> 00:36:52.879
 some

 we

00:36:55.779 --> 00:36:55.899
 have

00:36:55.899 --> 00:36:56.039
 some

00:36:56.039 --> 00:36:56.279
 folks

00:36:57.879 --> 00:36:58.059
 just

00:37:02.679 --> 00:37:02.799
 if

00:37:02.799 --> 00:37:02.940
 we

 are

00:37:04.519 --> 00:37:04.619
 we

 should

00:37:20.119 --> 00:37:20.519
 people

00:37:20.519 --> 00:37:21.559
 now

00:37:21.559 --> 00:37:21.779
 we're

00:37:21.779 --> 00:37:22.299
 part of

00:37:22.299 --> 00:37:22.419
 the

00:37:23.899 --> 00:37:24.339
 which is

00:37:24.339 --> 00:37:24.819
 a collection

00:37:24.819 --> 00:37:25.019
 of

00:37:25.319 --> 00:37:25.559
 and

00:37:25.559 --> 00:37:25.899
 according

00:37:25.899 --> 00:37:26.079
 to

00:37:26.079 --> 00:37:26.259
 their

00:37:26.259 --> 00:37:26.859
 statistics

00:37:26.859 --> 00:37:26.859


00:37:32.679 --> 00:37:33.159
 people

00:37:33.159 --> 00:37:33.679
 okay

00:37:33.679 --> 00:37:34.699
 now I

00:37:34.699 --> 00:37:34.819
 think

00:37:34.819 --> 00:37:35.019
 that's

00:37:35.019 --> 00:37:35.299
 probably

00:37:35.299 --> 00:37:35.739
 a pretty

00:37:35.739 --> 00:37:36.460
 positive

00:37:36.460 --> 00:37:36.960
 number

00:37:36.960 --> 00:37:38.139
 unchurched

00:37:38.139 --> 00:37:38.279
 because

00:37:38.279 --> 00:37:38.419
 this

00:37:38.419 --> 00:37:38.519
 would

00:37:38.519 --> 00:37:38.599
 be

00:37:38.599 --> 00:37:38.839
 people

00:37:38.839 --> 00:37:38.960
 who

00:37:38.960 --> 00:37:39.039
 are

00:37:39.039 --> 00:37:39.159
 just

00:37:39.159 --> 00:37:39.440
 saying

00:37:39.440 --> 00:37:39.639
 I

00:37:39.639 --> 00:37:40.039
 go

00:37:40.039 --> 00:37:40.199
 to

00:37:40.199 --> 00:37:40.339
 a

00:37:40.339 --> 00:37:40.539
 church

00:37:40.539 --> 00:37:40.779
 so

00:37:40.779 --> 00:37:41.339
 believe

00:37:41.339 --> 00:37:41.460
 it

00:37:41.460 --> 00:37:41.539
 or

00:37:41.539 --> 00:37:41.819
 not

00:37:41.819 --> 00:37:42.899
 what

00:37:42.899 --> 00:37:43.119
 kind

00:37:43.119 --> 00:37:43.239
 of

00:37:43.239 --> 00:37:43.500
 church

00:37:43.500 --> 00:37:43.659
 what

00:37:43.659 --> 00:37:43.759
 kind

00:37:43.759 --> 00:37:43.839
 of

00:37:43.839 --> 00:37:44.279
 denomination

00:37:44.279 --> 00:37:44.440
 I

00:37:44.440 --> 00:37:44.519
 don't

00:37:44.519 --> 00:37:44.659
 really

00:37:44.659 --> 00:37:44.819
 know

00:37:44.819 --> 00:37:45.099
 but

00:37:45.099 --> 00:37:45.239
 let's

00:37:45.239 --> 00:37:45.359
 just

00:37:45.359 --> 00:37:45.579
 use

00:37:45.579 --> 00:37:45.819
 their

00:37:45.819 --> 00:37:47.019
 statistic

00:37:47.019 --> 00:37:50.179
 and

00:37:50.179 --> 00:37:50.759
 this

00:37:50.759 --> 00:37:52.940
 that's

00:37:52.940 --> 00:37:53.059
 our

00:37:53.059 --> 00:37:54.059
 unchurched

00:37:54.059 --> 00:37:54.779
 population

00:37:54.779 --> 00:37:55.159
 in those

00:37:55.159 --> 00:37:55.339
 three

00:37:55.339 --> 00:37:55.679
 counties

00:37:55.679 --> 00:37:59.379
 185,600

00:37:59.379 --> 00:37:59.839
 people

00:37:59.839 --> 00:38:00.219
 that's a

00:38:00.219 --> 00:38:00.839
 massive

00:38:00.839 --> 00:38:01.839
 number

00:38:01.840 --> 00:38:02.460
 of

00:38:02.460 --> 00:38:02.800
 people

00:38:02.800 --> 00:38:03.360
 who

00:38:03.360 --> 00:38:04.100
 likely

00:38:04.100 --> 00:38:05.460
 couldn't

00:38:05.460 --> 00:38:05.860
 be sure

00:38:05.860 --> 00:38:06.039
 but

00:38:06.039 --> 00:38:06.579
 likely

00:38:06.579 --> 00:38:07.539
 do not

00:38:07.539 --> 00:38:07.980
 know

00:38:07.980 --> 00:38:08.720
 Jesus

00:38:08.720 --> 00:38:08.920
 is

00:38:08.920 --> 00:38:09.100
 Lord

00:38:09.100 --> 00:38:09.260
 who

00:38:09.260 --> 00:38:09.559
 right

00:38:09.559 --> 00:38:09.820
 now

00:38:09.820 --> 00:38:09.960
 are

00:38:09.960 --> 00:38:10.340
 separated

00:38:10.340 --> 00:38:10.579
 from

00:38:10.579 --> 00:38:10.780
 him

00:38:10.780 --> 00:38:11.120
 and

00:38:11.120 --> 00:38:11.240
 will

00:38:11.240 --> 00:38:11.380
 be

00:38:11.380 --> 00:38:11.760
 separated

00:38:11.760 --> 00:38:12.019
 from

00:38:12.019 --> 00:38:12.260
 him

00:38:12.260 --> 00:38:13.019
 for

00:38:13.019 --> 00:38:13.980
 eternity

00:38:13.980 --> 00:38:16.160
 the

00:38:16.160 --> 00:38:16.600
 mortality

00:38:16.600 --> 00:38:17.120
 rate

00:38:17.120 --> 00:38:18.019
 I didn't

00:38:18.019 --> 00:38:18.260
 take the

00:38:18.260 --> 00:38:18.460
 time to

00:38:18.460 --> 00:38:18.640
 do the

00:38:18.640 --> 00:38:18.880
 math

00:38:18.880 --> 00:38:19.260
 on this

00:38:19.260 --> 00:38:19.860
 population

00:38:19.860 --> 00:38:20.240
 but the

00:38:20.240 --> 00:38:20.559
 mortality

00:38:20.559 --> 00:38:20.920
 rate

00:38:20.920 --> 00:38:21.900
 for the

00:38:21.900 --> 00:38:22.200
 United

00:38:22.200 --> 00:38:22.820
 States

00:38:22.820 --> 00:38:23.640
 means

00:38:23.640 --> 00:38:24.640
 that

00:38:24.640 --> 00:38:25.059
 every

00:38:25.059 --> 00:38:25.900
 year

00:38:25.900 --> 00:38:26.620
 two and

00:38:26.620 --> 00:38:26.920
 a half

00:38:26.920 --> 00:38:27.380
 million

00:38:27.380 --> 00:38:27.740
 people

00:38:27.740 --> 00:38:28.220
 die

00:38:28.220 --> 00:38:30.260
 so even

00:38:30.260 --> 00:38:30.920
 life itself

00:38:30.920 --> 00:38:31.420
 is fleeting

00:38:31.420 --> 00:38:32.180
 opportunities to

00:38:32.180 --> 00:38:32.519
 share the

00:38:32.519 --> 00:38:32.940
 gospel with

00:38:32.940 --> 00:38:33.180
 people

00:38:33.180 --> 00:38:34.119
 is fleeting

00:38:34.119 --> 00:38:35.159
 right

00:38:35.159 --> 00:38:37.099
 there's a

00:38:37.099 --> 00:38:37.539
 population

00:38:37.539 --> 00:38:38.019
 here

00:38:38.019 --> 00:38:39.340
 that's

00:38:39.340 --> 00:38:39.800
 fleeting

00:38:39.800 --> 00:38:40.039
 it's

00:38:40.039 --> 00:38:40.340
 passing

00:38:40.340 --> 00:38:40.680
 away

00:38:40.680 --> 00:38:40.880
 it's

00:38:40.880 --> 00:38:41.119
 going

00:38:41.119 --> 00:38:41.559
 away

00:38:41.559 --> 00:38:41.760
 to

00:38:41.760 --> 00:38:42.039
 eternal

00:38:42.039 --> 00:38:42.619
 damnation

00:38:42.619 --> 00:38:43.760
 right

00:38:43.760 --> 00:38:44.940
 we're at

00:38:44.940 --> 00:38:45.360
 war

00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:45.980
 we're not

00:38:45.980 --> 00:38:46.400
 at peace

00:38:46.400 --> 00:38:46.740
 we're at

00:38:46.740 --> 00:38:47.159
 war

00:38:47.159 --> 00:38:48.039
 there are

00:38:48.039 --> 00:38:48.320
 dark

00:38:48.320 --> 00:38:48.800
 forces

00:38:48.800 --> 00:38:49.680
 working

00:38:49.680 --> 00:38:50.579
 at keeping

00:38:50.579 --> 00:38:50.920
 this

00:38:50.920 --> 00:38:51.800
 the same

00:38:51.800 --> 00:38:52.220
 way

00:38:52.220 --> 00:38:53.900
 we ought

00:38:53.900 --> 00:38:54.059
 to be

00:38:54.059 --> 00:38:54.400
 about the

00:38:54.400 --> 00:38:54.720
 work of

00:38:54.720 --> 00:38:55.320
 changing

00:38:55.320 --> 00:38:55.680
 that

00:38:55.680 --> 00:38:56.079
 of

00:38:56.079 --> 00:38:56.659
 moving

00:38:56.659 --> 00:38:56.960
 that

00:38:56.960 --> 00:38:57.320
 in

00:38:57.320 --> 00:38:57.559
 another

00:38:57.559 --> 00:38:58.159
 direction

00:38:58.159 --> 00:38:59.119
 it ought

00:38:59.119 --> 00:38:59.259
 to be

00:38:59.259 --> 00:38:59.739
 heartbreaking

00:38:59.739 --> 00:39:00.299
 to us

00:39:00.299 --> 00:39:00.599
 that people

00:39:00.599 --> 00:39:01.019
 don't know

00:39:01.019 --> 00:39:01.480
 Christ

00:39:01.480 --> 00:39:02.259
 right

00:39:02.259 --> 00:39:02.699
 the great

00:39:02.699 --> 00:39:03.039
 treasure

00:39:03.039 --> 00:39:03.420
 the treasure

00:39:03.420 --> 00:39:03.639
 in a

00:39:03.639 --> 00:39:03.839
 field

00:39:03.839 --> 00:39:04.039
 that we

00:39:04.039 --> 00:39:04.420
 go and sell

00:39:04.420 --> 00:39:04.759
 all that we

00:39:04.759 --> 00:39:04.980
 have

00:39:04.980 --> 00:39:05.420
 and buy

00:39:05.420 --> 00:39:05.960
 that field

00:39:05.960 --> 00:39:06.659
 right

00:39:06.659 --> 00:39:07.440
 this thing

00:39:07.440 --> 00:39:07.639
 that we

00:39:07.639 --> 00:39:07.920
 want to

00:39:07.920 --> 00:39:08.179
 share

00:39:08.179 --> 00:39:08.619
 with

00:39:08.619 --> 00:39:09.139
 everyone

00:39:09.139 --> 00:39:09.379
 we're

00:39:09.379 --> 00:39:09.679
 so

00:39:09.679 --> 00:39:10.480
 unloving

00:39:10.480 --> 00:39:11.099
 so often

00:39:11.099 --> 00:39:11.960
 because we

00:39:11.960 --> 00:39:12.579
 don't press

00:39:12.579 --> 00:39:13.000
 at people

00:39:13.000 --> 00:39:13.920
 to respond

00:39:13.920 --> 00:39:14.599
 to the

00:39:14.599 --> 00:39:14.859
 good news

00:39:14.859 --> 00:39:15.159
 of Jesus

00:39:15.159 --> 00:39:15.639
 Christ

00:39:15.639 --> 00:39:17.379
 one of my

00:39:17.379 --> 00:39:17.579
 favorite

00:39:17.579 --> 00:39:18.139
 Charles Spurgeon

00:39:18.139 --> 00:39:18.460
 quotes

00:39:18.460 --> 00:39:18.819
 he said

00:39:18.819 --> 00:39:19.199
 if sinners

00:39:19.199 --> 00:39:19.759
 be damned

00:39:19.759 --> 00:39:20.659
 at least

00:39:20.659 --> 00:39:21.000
 let them

00:39:21.000 --> 00:39:21.539
 leap to

00:39:21.539 --> 00:39:21.879
 hell

00:39:21.879 --> 00:39:22.619
 over our

00:39:22.619 --> 00:39:22.859
 dead

00:39:22.859 --> 00:39:23.319
 bodies

00:39:23.319 --> 00:39:24.859
 let's

00:39:24.859 --> 00:39:25.359
 die for

00:39:25.359 --> 00:39:25.759
 the sake

00:39:25.759 --> 00:39:26.139
 of

00:39:26.139 --> 00:39:26.399
 sinners

00:39:26.399 --> 00:39:26.920
 and if

00:39:26.920 --> 00:39:27.059
 they

00:39:27.059 --> 00:39:27.559
 perish

00:39:27.559 --> 00:39:28.220
 let

00:39:28.220 --> 00:39:28.400
 them

00:39:28.400 --> 00:39:28.740
 perish

00:39:28.740 --> 00:39:28.940
 with

00:39:28.940 --> 00:39:29.099
 our

00:39:29.099 --> 00:39:29.480
 arms

00:39:29.480 --> 00:39:29.900
 wrapped

00:39:29.900 --> 00:39:30.159
 about

00:39:30.159 --> 00:39:30.360
 their

00:39:30.360 --> 00:39:30.760
 knees

00:39:30.760 --> 00:39:31.700
 imploring

00:39:31.700 --> 00:39:31.920
 them

00:39:31.920 --> 00:39:32.099
 to

00:39:32.099 --> 00:39:32.480
 stay

00:39:32.480 --> 00:39:33.519
 if

00:39:33.519 --> 00:39:33.800
 hell

00:39:33.800 --> 00:39:34.139
 must

00:39:34.139 --> 00:39:34.380
 be

00:39:34.380 --> 00:39:34.780
 filled

00:39:34.780 --> 00:39:35.480
 let

00:39:35.480 --> 00:39:35.599
 it

00:39:35.599 --> 00:39:35.740
 be

00:39:35.740 --> 00:39:36.240
 filled

00:39:36.240 --> 00:39:36.539
 in

00:39:36.539 --> 00:39:36.740
 the

00:39:36.740 --> 00:39:37.119
 teeth

00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:37.420
 of

00:39:37.420 --> 00:39:37.700
 our

00:39:37.700 --> 00:39:38.519
 exertions

00:39:38.519 --> 00:39:38.920
 and

00:39:38.920 --> 00:39:39.079
 let

00:39:39.079 --> 00:39:39.300
 not

00:39:39.300 --> 00:39:39.700
 one

00:39:39.700 --> 00:39:39.940
 go

00:39:39.940 --> 00:39:40.740
 unwarned

00:39:40.740 --> 00:39:41.320
 and

00:39:41.320 --> 00:39:41.740
 unprayed

00:39:41.740 --> 00:39:42.019
 for

00:39:42.019 --> 00:39:44.980
 this

00:39:44.980 --> 00:39:45.200
 is a

00:39:45.200 --> 00:39:45.539
 massive

00:39:45.539 --> 00:39:46.079
 work

00:39:46.079 --> 00:39:47.940
 but don't

00:39:47.940 --> 00:39:48.059
 be

00:39:48.059 --> 00:39:48.440
 overwhelmed

00:39:48.440 --> 00:39:48.960
 by this

00:39:48.960 --> 00:39:49.240
 you

00:39:49.240 --> 00:39:49.500
 have

00:39:49.500 --> 00:39:49.639
 a

00:39:49.639 --> 00:39:49.800
 part

00:39:49.800 --> 00:39:49.980
 to

00:39:49.980 --> 00:39:50.340
 play

00:39:50.340 --> 00:39:51.200
 that

00:39:51.200 --> 00:39:51.400
 you'll

00:39:51.400 --> 00:39:51.539
 be

00:39:51.539 --> 00:39:51.720
 held

00:39:51.720 --> 00:39:52.159
 accountable

00:39:52.159 --> 00:39:52.579
 for

00:39:52.579 --> 00:39:52.780
 that

00:39:52.780 --> 00:39:52.900
 you

00:39:52.900 --> 00:39:53.079
 should

00:39:53.079 --> 00:39:53.260
 be

00:39:53.260 --> 00:39:53.659
 obedient

00:39:53.659 --> 00:39:54.139
 to

00:39:54.139 --> 00:39:54.659
 and

00:39:54.659 --> 00:39:54.780
 if

00:39:54.780 --> 00:39:55.079
 we

00:39:55.079 --> 00:39:55.340
 would

00:39:55.340 --> 00:39:55.519
 do

00:39:55.519 --> 00:39:55.900
 that

00:39:55.900 --> 00:39:56.680
 if

00:39:56.680 --> 00:39:56.800
 the

00:39:56.800 --> 00:39:57.019
 people

00:39:57.019 --> 00:39:57.220
 of

00:39:57.220 --> 00:39:57.539
 God

00:39:57.539 --> 00:39:57.720
 would

00:39:57.720 --> 00:39:58.320
 respond

00:39:58.320 --> 00:39:58.760
 to

00:39:58.760 --> 00:39:58.900
 the

00:39:58.900 --> 00:39:59.180
 call

00:39:59.180 --> 00:39:59.340
 of

00:39:59.340 --> 00:39:59.620
 God

00:39:59.620 --> 00:39:59.980
 to

00:39:59.980 --> 00:40:00.200
 make

00:40:00.200 --> 00:40:00.740
 disciples

00:40:00.740 --> 00:40:02.280
 I

00:40:02.280 --> 00:40:02.460
 can't

00:40:02.460 --> 00:40:02.600
 say

00:40:02.600 --> 00:40:02.940
 exactly

00:40:02.940 --> 00:40:03.079
 what

00:40:03.079 --> 00:40:03.240
 God

00:40:03.240 --> 00:40:03.380
 would

00:40:03.380 --> 00:40:03.480
 do

00:40:03.480 --> 00:40:03.640
 with

00:40:03.640 --> 00:40:03.940
 this

00:40:03.940 --> 00:40:04.420
 parable

00:40:04.420 --> 00:40:04.559
 of

00:40:04.559 --> 00:40:04.660
 the

00:40:04.660 --> 00:40:04.960
 sowers

00:40:04.960 --> 00:40:05.160
 there's

00:40:05.160 --> 00:40:05.440
 different

00:40:05.440 --> 00:40:05.800
 types

00:40:05.800 --> 00:40:06.059
 of

00:40:06.059 --> 00:40:06.840
 soil

00:40:06.840 --> 00:40:07.120
 I

00:40:07.120 --> 00:40:07.280
 don't

00:40:07.280 --> 00:40:07.780
 know

00:40:07.780 --> 00:40:07.980
 for

00:40:07.980 --> 00:40:08.200
 sure

00:40:08.200 --> 00:40:08.400
 what

00:40:08.400 --> 00:40:08.500
 he

00:40:08.500 --> 00:40:08.640
 would

00:40:08.640 --> 00:40:08.880
 intend

00:40:08.880 --> 00:40:09.059
 to

00:40:09.059 --> 00:40:09.300
 do

00:40:09.300 --> 00:40:10.320
 I

00:40:10.320 --> 00:40:10.539
 want

00:40:10.539 --> 00:40:10.660
 to

00:40:10.660 --> 00:40:10.900
 work

00:40:10.900 --> 00:40:11.120
 under

00:40:11.120 --> 00:40:11.280
 the

00:40:11.280 --> 00:40:11.620
 assumption

00:40:11.620 --> 00:40:11.880
 that

00:40:11.880 --> 00:40:12.000
 he

00:40:12.000 --> 00:40:12.220
 just

00:40:12.220 --> 00:40:12.640
 may

00:40:12.640 --> 00:40:14.220
 let

00:40:14.220 --> 00:40:14.700
 revival

00:40:14.700 --> 00:40:15.039
 break

00:40:15.039 --> 00:40:15.220
 out

00:40:15.220 --> 00:40:15.320
 in

00:40:15.320 --> 00:40:15.480
 these

00:40:15.480 --> 00:40:15.680
 three

00:40:15.680 --> 00:40:16.079
 counties

00:40:16.079 --> 00:40:16.420
 and

00:40:16.420 --> 00:40:16.640
 all

00:40:16.640 --> 00:40:16.780
 of

00:40:16.780 --> 00:40:16.900
 these

00:40:16.900 --> 00:40:17.220
 people

00:40:17.220 --> 00:40:17.559
 would

00:40:17.559 --> 00:40:17.699
 be

00:40:17.699 --> 00:40:18.000
 counted

00:40:18.000 --> 00:40:19.719
 amongst

00:40:19.719 --> 00:40:19.719


00:40:19.719 --> 00:40:19.900
 His

00:40:19.900 --> 00:40:20.239
 family

00:40:20.239 --> 00:40:22.480
 we

00:40:22.480 --> 00:40:22.639
 may

00:40:22.639 --> 00:40:22.820
 not

00:40:22.820 --> 00:40:23.119
 consider

00:40:23.119 --> 00:40:23.259
 the

00:40:23.259 --> 00:40:23.519
 condition

00:40:23.519 --> 00:40:23.659
 of

00:40:23.659 --> 00:40:23.679
 the

00:40:23.679 --> 00:40:24.159
 nature

00:40:24.159 --> 00:40:24.340
 of

00:40:24.340 --> 00:40:24.460
 hell

00:40:24.460 --> 00:40:24.639
 we

00:40:24.639 --> 00:40:24.779
 may

00:40:24.779 --> 00:40:24.940
 not

00:40:24.940 --> 00:40:25.340
 actually

00:40:25.340 --> 00:40:26.079
 think

00:40:26.079 --> 00:40:26.340
 about

00:40:26.340 --> 00:40:26.460
 it

00:40:26.460 --> 00:40:26.659
 day

00:40:26.659 --> 00:40:26.799
 to

00:40:26.799 --> 00:40:27.000
 day

00:40:27.000 --> 00:40:27.320
 what

00:40:27.320 --> 00:40:27.579
 have

00:40:27.579 --> 00:40:27.699
 we

00:40:27.699 --> 00:40:27.900
 been

00:40:27.900 --> 00:40:28.259
 saved

00:40:28.259 --> 00:40:28.599
 from

00:40:28.599 --> 00:40:29.099
 beloved

00:40:29.099 --> 00:40:29.239
 if

00:40:29.239 --> 00:40:29.320
 the

00:40:29.320 --> 00:40:29.559
 gospel

00:40:29.559 --> 00:40:29.699
 is

00:40:29.699 --> 00:40:29.960
 precious

00:40:29.960 --> 00:40:30.139
 to

00:40:30.139 --> 00:40:30.259
 us

00:40:30.259 --> 00:40:30.420
 we'll

00:40:30.420 --> 00:40:30.599
 know

00:40:30.599 --> 00:40:30.880
 that

00:40:30.880 --> 00:40:31.440
 we'll

00:40:31.440 --> 00:40:31.579
 know

00:40:31.579 --> 00:40:31.719
 that

00:40:31.719 --> 00:40:31.880
 we've

00:40:31.880 --> 00:40:31.980
 been

00:40:31.980 --> 00:40:32.279
 delivered

00:40:32.279 --> 00:40:32.699
 from

00:40:32.699 --> 00:40:33.900
 eternal

00:40:33.900 --> 00:40:34.420
 damnation

00:40:34.420 --> 00:40:34.739
 that's

00:40:34.739 --> 00:40:35.019
 part

00:40:35.019 --> 00:40:35.119
 of

00:45:40.139 --> 00:45:40.919
 were

00:45:40.919 --> 00:45:41.480
 about

00:45:41.480 --> 00:45:41.699
 the

00:45:41.699 --> 00:45:41.940
 work

00:45:41.940 --> 00:45:42.079
 of

00:45:42.079 --> 00:45:42.319
 making

00:45:42.319 --> 00:45:42.699
 another

00:45:42.699 --> 00:45:43.079
 disciple

00:45:43.079 --> 00:45:43.239
 of

00:45:43.239 --> 00:45:43.419
 Jesus

00:45:43.419 --> 00:45:43.759
 Christ

00:45:43.759 --> 00:45:43.919
 in

00:45:43.919 --> 00:45:44.039
 a

00:45:44.039 --> 00:45:44.219
 year

00:45:44.219 --> 00:45:44.639
 one

00:45:44.639 --> 00:45:44.839
 in

00:45:44.839 --> 00:45:44.960
 a

00:45:44.960 --> 00:45:45.159
 year

00:45:45.159 --> 00:45:45.940
 now

00:45:45.940 --> 00:45:46.719

00:45:46.719 --> 00:45:46.859
 be

00:45:46.859 --> 00:45:47.079
 sure

00:45:47.079 --> 00:45:47.659
 some

00:45:47.659 --> 00:45:47.839
 people

00:45:47.839 --> 00:45:48.019
 may

00:45:48.019 --> 00:45:48.139
 do

00:45:48.139 --> 00:45:48.339
 many

00:45:48.339 --> 00:45:48.659
 more

00:45:48.659 --> 00:45:49.019
 some

00:45:49.019 --> 00:45:49.339
 people

00:45:49.339 --> 00:45:49.859
 none

00:45:49.859 --> 00:45:50.000
 at

00:45:50.000 --> 00:45:50.319
 all

00:45:50.319 --> 00:45:51.319
 some

00:45:51.319 --> 00:45:51.579
 people

00:45:51.579 --> 00:45:51.819
 may

00:45:51.819 --> 00:45:52.239
 give

00:45:52.239 --> 00:45:52.399
 their

00:45:52.399 --> 00:45:52.799
 very

00:45:52.799 --> 00:45:53.279
 best

00:45:53.279 --> 00:45:53.799
 effort

00:45:53.799 --> 00:45:54.039
 to

00:45:54.039 --> 00:45:54.159
 it

00:45:54.159 --> 00:45:54.359
 like

00:45:54.359 --> 00:45:54.879
 Jeremiah

00:45:54.879 --> 00:45:55.219
 God

00:45:55.219 --> 00:45:55.659
 delays

00:45:55.659 --> 00:45:56.219
 blessing

00:45:56.219 --> 00:45:56.539
 they

00:45:56.539 --> 00:45:57.319
 press

00:45:57.319 --> 00:45:57.440
 and

00:45:57.440 --> 00:45:57.559
 they

00:45:57.559 --> 00:45:57.799
 press

00:45:57.799 --> 00:45:57.899
 and

00:45:57.899 --> 00:45:59.039
 no

00:45:59.039 --> 00:45:59.199
 one

00:45:59.199 --> 00:45:59.639
 responds

00:45:59.639 --> 00:45:59.659
!

00:45:59.799 --> 00:45:59.960
 no

00:45:59.960 --> 00:46:00.119
 one

00:46:00.119 --> 00:46:00.399
 seems

00:46:00.399 --> 00:46:00.779
 to

00:46:00.779 --> 00:46:01.079
 care

00:46:01.079 --> 00:46:02.039
 very

00:46:02.039 --> 00:46:02.039


00:46:06.679 --> 00:46:07.219
 hear

00:46:07.219 --> 00:46:07.399
 me

00:46:07.399 --> 00:46:07.639
 out

00:46:07.639 --> 00:46:08.659
 but

00:46:08.659 --> 00:46:08.819
 just

00:46:08.819 --> 00:46:09.399
 a

00:46:09.399 --> 00:46:09.559
 little

00:46:09.559 --> 00:46:09.980
 evangelical

00:46:09.980 --> 00:46:10.539
 imagination

00:46:10.539 --> 00:46:10.859
 what

00:46:10.859 --> 00:46:11.119
 if

00:46:11.119 --> 00:46:11.879
 you

00:46:11.879 --> 00:46:12.079
 just

00:46:12.079 --> 00:46:12.339
 said

00:46:12.339 --> 00:46:13.379
 make

00:46:13.379 --> 00:46:13.480
 a

00:46:13.480 --> 00:46:13.899
 disciple

00:46:13.899 --> 00:46:14.319
 whether

00:46:14.319 --> 00:46:14.579
 that's

00:46:14.579 --> 00:46:14.779
 somebody

00:46:14.779 --> 00:46:15.039
 who's

00:46:15.039 --> 00:46:15.619
 converted

00:46:15.619 --> 00:46:15.819
 to

00:46:15.819 --> 00:46:16.179
 Christ

00:46:16.179 --> 00:46:16.619
 and

00:46:16.619 --> 00:46:16.960
 grown

00:46:16.960 --> 00:46:17.279
 up

00:46:17.279 --> 00:46:17.739
 or

00:46:17.739 --> 00:46:17.940
 somebody

00:46:17.940 --> 00:46:18.079
 who's

00:46:18.079 --> 00:46:18.259
 really

00:46:18.259 --> 00:46:18.799
 nominally

00:46:18.799 --> 00:46:19.179
 committed

00:46:19.179 --> 00:46:19.480
 as a

00:46:19.480 --> 00:46:19.799
 Christian

00:46:19.799 --> 00:46:20.339
 and

00:46:20.339 --> 00:46:20.440
 you

00:46:20.440 --> 00:46:20.579
 can

00:46:20.579 --> 00:46:20.759
 just

00:46:20.759 --> 00:46:20.980
 get

00:46:20.980 --> 00:46:21.139
 them

00:46:21.139 --> 00:46:21.239
 to

00:46:21.239 --> 00:46:21.379
 the

00:46:21.379 --> 00:46:21.579
 point

00:46:21.579 --> 00:46:21.739
 where

00:46:21.739 --> 00:46:21.980
 they

00:46:21.980 --> 00:46:22.239
 go

00:46:22.239 --> 00:46:22.359
 and

00:46:22.359 --> 00:46:22.480
 they

00:46:22.480 --> 00:46:22.699
 turn

00:46:22.699 --> 00:46:22.839
 they

00:46:22.839 --> 00:46:22.940
 do

00:46:22.940 --> 00:46:23.079
 the

00:46:23.079 --> 00:46:23.259
 same

00:46:23.259 --> 00:46:23.599
 thing

00:46:23.599 --> 00:46:25.879
 multiplication

00:46:25.879 --> 00:46:26.460
 is

00:46:26.460 --> 00:46:26.559
 what

00:46:26.559 --> 00:46:26.679
 we're

00:46:26.679 --> 00:46:26.759
 going

00:46:26.759 --> 00:46:26.819
 to

00:46:26.819 --> 00:46:27.000
 talk

00:46:27.000 --> 00:46:27.159
 about

00:46:27.159 --> 00:46:27.379
 here

00:46:27.379 --> 00:46:27.879
 I

00:46:27.879 --> 00:46:28.000
 have

00:46:28.000 --> 00:46:28.079
 a

00:46:28.079 --> 00:46:28.279
!

00:46:28.279 --> 00:46:28.259
 cheat

00:46:28.259 --> 00:46:28.500
!

00:46:28.500 --> 00:46:29.059
 It's

00:46:29.059 --> 00:46:29.299
 easy

00:46:29.299 --> 00:46:29.460
 in

00:46:29.460 --> 00:46:29.579
 year

00:46:29.579 --> 00:46:29.880
 one

00:46:29.880 --> 00:46:32.360
 I

00:46:32.360 --> 00:46:32.480
 could

00:46:32.480 --> 00:46:32.659
 probably

00:46:32.659 --> 00:46:32.799
 go

00:46:32.799 --> 00:46:32.900
 a

00:46:32.900 --> 00:46:33.039
 couple

00:46:33.039 --> 00:46:33.360
 years

00:46:33.360 --> 00:46:34.820
 year

00:46:34.820 --> 00:46:35.039
 one

00:46:35.039 --> 00:46:35.519
 150

00:46:35.519 --> 00:46:35.980
 people

00:46:35.980 --> 00:46:36.539
 that's

00:46:36.539 --> 00:46:36.639
 what

00:46:36.639 --> 00:46:36.820
 I'm

00:46:36.820 --> 00:46:37.279
 using

00:46:37.279 --> 00:46:37.440
 as

00:46:37.440 --> 00:46:37.579
 my

00:46:37.579 --> 00:46:37.860
 starting

00:46:37.860 --> 00:46:38.199
 point

00:46:38.199 --> 00:46:39.299
 just

00:46:39.299 --> 00:46:39.759
 imagining

00:46:39.759 --> 00:46:40.360
 together

00:46:40.360 --> 00:46:41.340
 in the

00:46:41.340 --> 00:46:41.519
 next

00:46:41.519 --> 00:46:41.699
 year

00:46:41.699 --> 00:46:42.179
 300

00:46:42.179 --> 00:46:43.759
 we've

00:46:43.759 --> 00:46:44.019
 outgrown

00:46:44.019 --> 00:46:44.199
 our

00:46:44.199 --> 00:46:44.400
 meeting

00:46:44.400 --> 00:46:44.840
 space

00:46:44.840 --> 00:46:46.340
 and I

00:46:46.340 --> 00:46:46.500
 would

00:46:46.500 --> 00:46:46.840
 challenge

00:46:46.840 --> 00:46:47.119
 you

00:46:47.119 --> 00:46:47.679
 push

00:46:47.679 --> 00:46:47.860
 the

00:46:47.860 --> 00:46:48.099
 leadership

00:46:48.099 --> 00:46:48.299
 of

00:46:48.299 --> 00:46:48.460
 this

00:46:48.460 --> 00:46:48.679
 church

00:46:48.679 --> 00:46:48.840
 to

00:46:48.840 --> 00:46:49.039
 do

00:46:49.039 --> 00:46:49.400
 something

00:46:49.400 --> 00:46:49.820
 about

00:46:49.820 --> 00:46:50.119
 that

00:46:50.119 --> 00:46:51.420
 what

00:46:51.420 --> 00:46:51.559
 we'll

00:46:51.559 --> 00:46:51.659
 do

00:46:51.659 --> 00:46:52.000
 exactly

00:46:52.000 --> 00:46:52.219
 I

00:46:52.219 --> 00:46:52.340
 do

00:46:52.340 --> 00:46:52.480
 not

00:46:52.480 --> 00:46:52.739
 know

00:46:52.739 --> 00:46:53.279
 but

00:46:53.279 --> 00:46:53.380
 I

00:46:53.380 --> 00:46:53.759
 welcome

00:46:53.759 --> 00:46:54.059
 that

00:46:54.059 --> 00:46:54.799
 we

00:46:54.799 --> 00:46:55.039
 filled

00:46:55.039 --> 00:46:55.059
!

00:46:55.059 --> 00:46:55.199
 the

00:46:55.199 --> 00:46:55.440
 room

00:46:55.440 --> 00:46:55.440


00:46:55.440 --> 00:46:55.779
 you

00:46:55.779 --> 00:46:56.000
 might

00:46:56.000 --> 00:46:56.119
 be

00:46:56.119 --> 00:46:56.359
 thinking

00:46:56.359 --> 00:46:56.880
 that's

00:46:56.880 --> 00:46:57.119
 okay

00:46:57.119 --> 00:46:57.259
 we

00:46:57.259 --> 00:46:57.420
 filled

00:46:57.420 --> 00:46:57.559
 the

00:46:57.559 --> 00:46:57.759
 room

00:46:57.759 --> 00:46:58.159
 hey

00:46:58.159 --> 00:46:59.199
 that's

00:46:59.199 --> 00:46:59.319
 not

00:46:59.319 --> 00:46:59.659
 okay

00:46:59.659 --> 00:47:00.059
 we'll

00:47:00.059 --> 00:47:00.219
 go

00:47:00.219 --> 00:47:00.519
 further

00:47:00.519 --> 00:47:00.699
 and

00:47:00.699 --> 00:47:00.980
 beyond

00:47:00.980 --> 00:47:01.199
 this

00:47:01.199 --> 00:47:01.559
 building

00:47:01.559 --> 00:47:02.299
 could

00:47:02.299 --> 00:47:02.420
 be

00:47:02.420 --> 00:47:03.319
 leveled

00:47:03.319 --> 00:47:03.559
 we

00:47:03.559 --> 00:47:03.719
 could

00:47:03.719 --> 00:47:03.980
 meet

00:47:03.980 --> 00:47:04.139
 in a

00:47:04.139 --> 00:47:04.299
 different

00:47:04.299 --> 00:47:04.559
 building

00:47:04.559 --> 00:47:04.719
 I

00:47:04.719 --> 00:47:04.839
 don't

00:47:04.839 --> 00:47:04.960
 know

00:47:04.960 --> 00:47:05.079
 what

00:47:05.079 --> 00:47:05.199
 we'll

00:47:05.199 --> 00:47:05.380
 do

00:47:05.380 --> 00:47:05.679
 right

00:47:05.679 --> 00:47:05.859
 but

00:47:05.859 --> 00:47:06.139
 make

00:47:06.139 --> 00:47:06.279
 us

00:47:06.279 --> 00:47:06.480
 have

00:47:06.480 --> 00:47:06.579
 to

00:47:06.579 --> 00:47:06.719
 make

00:47:06.719 --> 00:47:07.159
 decisions

00:47:07.159 --> 00:47:07.819
 and

00:47:07.819 --> 00:47:08.279
 offer

00:47:08.279 --> 00:47:08.779
 alternatives

00:47:08.779 --> 00:47:08.980
 to

00:47:08.980 --> 00:47:09.079
 you

00:47:09.079 --> 00:47:09.339

00:47:10.159 --> 00:47:11.039
 300

00:47:11.039 --> 00:47:11.259
 here

00:47:11.259 --> 00:47:11.359
 we

00:47:11.359 --> 00:47:12.259
 go

00:47:12.259 --> 00:47:13.859
 600

00:47:13.859 --> 00:47:14.980
 1200

00:47:14.980 --> 00:47:15.219
 you can

00:47:15.219 --> 00:47:15.440
 see how

00:47:15.440 --> 00:47:15.880
 smart

00:47:15.880 --> 00:47:16.019
 I

00:47:26.119 --> 00:47:26.299
 yep

00:47:26.299 --> 00:47:26.779
 and

00:47:26.779 --> 00:47:26.940
 that's

00:47:26.940 --> 00:47:27.039
 why

00:47:27.039 --> 00:47:27.059
 I

00:47:27.059 --> 00:47:27.199
 lose

00:47:27.199 --> 00:47:27.299
 it

00:47:27.299 --> 00:47:27.679
 38

00:47:27.679 --> 00:47:29.039
 4

00:47:29.039 --> 00:47:31.199
 76

00:47:31.199 --> 00:47:31.519
 8

00:47:31.519 --> 00:47:33.460
 okay

00:47:33.460 --> 00:47:33.880
 so

00:47:33.880 --> 00:47:34.039
 let me

00:47:34.039 --> 00:47:34.239
 just

00:47:34.239 --> 00:47:34.480
 I

00:47:34.480 --> 00:47:34.579
 know

00:47:34.579 --> 00:47:34.799
 most

00:47:34.799 --> 00:47:34.900
 of

00:47:34.900 --> 00:47:34.940
 you

00:47:34.940 --> 00:47:35.139
 can't

00:47:35.139 --> 00:47:35.279
 see

00:47:35.279 --> 00:47:35.440
 this

00:47:35.440 --> 00:47:35.539
 but

00:47:35.539 --> 00:47:35.719
 in

00:47:35.719 --> 00:47:35.900
 year

00:47:35.900 --> 00:47:36.400
 10

00:47:36.400 --> 00:47:37.199
 you'd

00:47:37.199 --> 00:47:37.299
 have

00:47:37.299 --> 00:47:37.880
 76

00:47:37.880 --> 00:47:38.619
 800

00:47:38.619 --> 00:47:39.199
 disciples

00:47:39.199 --> 00:47:39.380
 of

00:47:39.380 --> 00:47:39.539
 Jesus

00:47:39.539 --> 00:47:39.880
 Christ

00:47:39.880 --> 00:47:40.299
 right

00:47:40.299 --> 00:47:40.539
 again

00:47:40.539 --> 00:47:40.960
 assuming

00:47:40.960 --> 00:47:41.239
 right

00:47:41.239 --> 00:47:41.460
 God

00:47:41.460 --> 00:47:41.920
 works

00:47:41.920 --> 00:47:42.179
 God

00:47:42.179 --> 00:47:42.639
 moves

00:47:42.639 --> 00:47:43.079
 this

00:47:43.079 --> 00:47:43.219
 is

00:47:43.219 --> 00:47:43.420
 his

00:47:43.420 --> 00:47:43.719
 work

00:47:43.719 --> 00:47:43.819
 and

00:47:43.819 --> 00:47:43.980
 his

00:47:43.980 --> 00:47:44.299
 doing

00:47:44.299 --> 00:47:44.839
 right

00:47:44.839 --> 00:47:44.960
 I'm

00:47:44.960 --> 00:47:45.139
 not

00:47:45.139 --> 00:47:45.559
 suggesting

00:47:45.559 --> 00:47:45.799
 some

00:47:45.799 --> 00:47:46.380
 pragmatic

00:47:46.380 --> 00:47:46.799
 thing

00:47:46.799 --> 00:47:46.980
 like

00:47:46.980 --> 00:47:47.179
 if

00:47:47.179 --> 00:47:47.339
 you

00:47:47.339 --> 00:47:47.519
 do

00:47:47.519 --> 00:47:47.679
 it

00:47:47.679 --> 00:47:47.880
 this

00:47:47.880 --> 00:47:48.159
 way

00:47:48.159 --> 00:47:48.639
 this

00:47:48.639 --> 00:47:48.779
 will

00:47:48.779 --> 00:47:48.900
 be

00:47:48.900 --> 00:47:49.079
 the

00:47:49.079 --> 00:47:49.519
 result

00:47:49.519 --> 00:47:49.880
 of

00:47:49.880 --> 00:47:50.199
 course

00:47:50.199 --> 00:47:50.920
 right

00:47:50.920 --> 00:47:51.240
 but

00:47:51.240 --> 00:47:51.500
 what

00:47:51.500 --> 00:47:51.920
 if

00:47:51.920 --> 00:47:53.700
 what

00:47:53.700 --> 00:47:53.840
 if

00:47:53.840 --> 00:47:54.099
 God

00:47:54.099 --> 00:47:54.280
 was

00:47:54.280 --> 00:47:54.619
 so

00:47:54.619 --> 00:47:55.260
 loving

00:47:55.260 --> 00:47:56.180
 that

00:47:56.180 --> 00:47:56.280
 he

00:47:56.280 --> 00:47:56.740
 wanted

00:47:56.740 --> 00:47:56.960
 to

00:47:56.960 --> 00:47:57.200
 save

00:47:57.200 --> 00:47:57.579
 people

00:47:57.579 --> 00:47:59.700
 and

00:47:59.700 --> 00:47:59.880
 we

00:47:59.880 --> 00:48:00.059
 just

00:48:00.059 --> 00:48:00.260
 were

00:48:00.260 --> 00:48:00.880
 obedient

00:48:00.880 --> 00:48:01.760
 to

00:48:01.760 --> 00:48:02.000

00:48:02.000 --> 00:48:02.760
 working

00:48:02.760 --> 00:48:03.059
 that

00:48:03.059 --> 00:48:03.400
 method

00:48:03.400 --> 00:48:03.740
 out

00:48:03.740 --> 00:48:03.960
 to

00:48:03.960 --> 00:48:04.320

 things

00:48:04.720 --> 00:48:04.820
 that

00:48:04.820 --> 00:48:04.960
 the

00:48:04.960 --> 00:48:05.220
 scriptures

00:48:05.220 --> 00:48:06.039
 tell

00:48:06.039 --> 00:48:06.300
 us

00:48:06.300 --> 00:48:06.639
 that

00:48:06.639 --> 00:48:06.760
 we

00:48:06.760 --> 00:48:07.059
 ought

00:48:07.059 --> 00:48:07.800
 to

00:48:07.800 --> 00:48:08.039
 do

00:48:08.039 --> 00:48:08.840
 right

00:48:08.840 --> 00:48:09.539
 mature

00:48:14.240 --> 00:48:16.119
 right

00:48:16.119 --> 00:48:16.760
 now

00:48:16.760 --> 00:48:18.360
 to

00:48:18.360 --> 00:48:18.500
 get

 to

00:48:18.619 --> 00:48:18.800
 this

00:48:18.800 --> 00:48:19.139
 number

00:48:19.139 --> 00:48:19.680
 or

00:48:19.680 --> 00:48:19.840
 this

00:48:19.840 --> 00:48:20.079
 number

00:48:20.079 --> 00:48:20.340
 whichever

00:48:20.340 --> 00:48:20.539
 you

00:48:20.539 --> 00:48:20.900
 prefer

00:48:20.900 --> 00:48:22.480
 make

00:48:22.480 --> 00:48:22.680
 a bit

00:48:22.680 --> 00:48:22.880
 of a

00:48:22.880 --> 00:48:23.059
 jump

00:48:23.059 --> 00:48:23.300
 somewhere

00:48:23.300 --> 00:48:23.619
 between

00:48:23.619 --> 00:48:23.900
 year

00:48:23.900 --> 00:48:24.340
 11

00:48:24.340 --> 00:48:24.599
 and

00:48:24.599 --> 00:48:25.019
 12

00:48:25.019 --> 00:48:25.200
 year

00:48:25.200 --> 00:48:25.579
 12

00:48:25.579 --> 00:48:25.740
 would

00:48:25.740 --> 00:48:25.880
 be

00:48:25.880 --> 00:48:26.300
 this

00:48:26.300 --> 00:48:27.260
 307

00:48:27.260 --> 00:48:28.200
 200

00:48:28.200 --> 00:48:29.720
 people

00:48:29.720 --> 00:48:30.240
 so

00:48:30.240 --> 00:48:30.360
 we

00:48:30.360 --> 00:48:30.559
 far

00:48:30.559 --> 00:48:30.980
 exceeded

00:48:30.980 --> 00:48:32.119
 this

00:48:32.119 --> 00:48:32.860
 number

00:48:32.860 --> 00:48:33.400
 at that

00:48:33.400 --> 00:48:33.780
 point

00:48:33.780 --> 00:48:35.000
 the

00:48:35.000 --> 00:48:35.480
 population

 Georgia

00:48:41.680 --> 00:48:42.599
 is 9

00:48:42.599 --> 00:48:42.900
 million

00:48:42.900 --> 00:48:43.340
 people

00:48:43.340 --> 00:48:43.880
 in the

00:48:43.880 --> 00:48:44.420
 same

00:48:44.420 --> 00:48:44.940
 year

00:48:44.940 --> 00:48:46.360
 you would

00:48:46.360 --> 00:48:46.639
 see this

00:48:46.639 --> 00:48:47.119
 accomplished

00:48:47.119 --> 00:48:47.760
 so

00:48:47.760 --> 00:48:48.059
 about

00:48:48.059 --> 00:48:48.579
 4

00:48:48.579 --> 00:48:48.980
 million

00:48:48.980 --> 00:48:50.519
 oh

00:48:50.519 --> 00:48:50.860
 my gosh

00:48:50.860 --> 00:48:51.059
 I'm

00:48:51.059 --> 00:48:51.239
 writing

00:48:51.239 --> 00:48:51.360
 all

00:48:51.360 --> 00:48:51.500
 these

00:48:51.500 --> 00:48:51.719
 out

00:48:51.719 --> 00:48:52.360
 there's

00:48:52.360 --> 00:48:52.480
 like

00:48:52.480 --> 00:48:52.840
 4

00:48:52.840 --> 00:48:53.179
 to

00:48:53.179 --> 00:48:54.320
 9

00:48:54.320 --> 00:48:54.699
 million

00:48:54.699 --> 00:48:57.139
 people

00:48:57.139 --> 00:48:58.039
 year 16

00:48:58.039 --> 00:48:58.539
 and 17

00:48:58.539 --> 00:49:01.440
 and just

00:49:01.440 --> 00:49:01.900
 for fun

00:49:01.900 --> 00:49:03.239
 the population

00:49:03.239 --> 00:49:03.579
 of the

00:49:03.579 --> 00:49:03.820
 United

00:49:03.820 --> 00:49:04.340
 States

00:49:04.340 --> 00:49:04.639
 is

00:49:04.639 --> 00:49:05.599
 313

00:49:05.599 --> 00:49:05.940
 million

00:49:05.940 --> 00:49:06.340
 people

00:49:06.340 --> 00:49:07.320
 and in

00:49:07.320 --> 00:49:07.920
 year 22

00:49:07.920 --> 00:49:08.259
 you'd be

00:49:08.259 --> 00:49:08.380
 at

00:49:08.380 --> 00:49:09.320
 314

00:49:09.320 --> 00:49:09.980
 million

00:49:09.980 --> 00:49:10.380
 people

00:49:10.380 --> 00:49:14.519
 now I

00:49:14.519 --> 00:49:14.940
 know I've

00:49:14.940 --> 00:49:15.239
 made a ton

00:49:15.239 --> 00:49:15.659
 of assumptions

00:49:15.659 --> 00:49:16.699
 in doing

00:49:16.699 --> 00:49:17.099
 this

00:49:17.099 --> 00:49:19.619
 I

00:49:19.619 --> 00:49:19.899
 didn't

00:49:19.899 --> 00:49:20.239
 work out

00:49:20.239 --> 00:49:20.659
 the math

00:49:20.659 --> 00:49:20.960
 for what

00:49:20.960 --> 00:49:21.279
 I could

00:49:21.279 --> 00:49:21.399
 do

00:49:21.399 --> 00:49:21.539
 by

00:49:21.539 --> 00:49:22.079
 myself

00:49:22.079 --> 00:49:24.039
 right

00:49:24.039 --> 00:49:24.699
 but it

00:49:24.699 --> 00:49:24.960
 certainly

00:49:24.960 --> 00:49:25.299
 isn't

00:49:25.299 --> 00:49:25.739
 this

00:49:25.739 --> 00:49:26.379
 it

00:49:26.379 --> 00:49:26.619
 certainly

00:49:26.619 --> 00:49:26.899
 doesn't

00:49:26.899 --> 00:49:27.119
 equal

00:49:27.119 --> 00:49:27.420
 this

00:49:27.420 --> 00:49:27.899
 kind

00:49:27.899 --> 00:49:28.500
 of

00:49:28.500 --> 00:49:29.179
 expansive

00:49:29.179 --> 00:49:30.399
 growth

00:49:30.399 --> 00:49:32.199
 Jesus

00:49:32.199 --> 00:49:32.659
 Christ

00:49:32.659 --> 00:49:33.099
 came into

00:49:33.099 --> 00:49:33.460
 the world

00:49:33.460 --> 00:49:33.779
 at the

00:49:33.779 --> 00:49:34.379
 perfect

00:49:34.379 --> 00:49:35.420
 time

00:49:35.420 --> 00:49:36.359
 right

00:49:36.359 --> 00:49:36.879
 it

00:49:36.879 --> 00:49:37.019
 had all

00:49:37.019 --> 00:49:37.159
 been

00:49:37.159 --> 00:49:37.480
 worked

00:49:37.480 --> 00:49:37.739
 out

00:49:37.739 --> 00:49:38.279
 so

00:49:38.279 --> 00:49:38.940
 perfectly

00:49:38.940 --> 00:49:39.599
 he

00:49:39.599 --> 00:49:39.899
 didn't

00:49:39.899 --> 00:49:40.079
 come

00:49:40.079 --> 00:49:40.199
 into

00:49:40.199 --> 00:49:40.319
 the

00:49:40.319 --> 00:49:40.480
 world

00:49:40.480 --> 00:49:40.639
 when

00:49:40.639 --> 00:49:40.779
 there

00:49:40.779 --> 00:49:41.059
 was

00:49:41.059 --> 00:49:41.799
 technology

00:49:41.800 --> 00:49:42.900
 I

00:49:42.900 --> 00:49:43.300
 believe

00:49:43.300 --> 00:49:43.980
 intentionally

00:49:43.980 --> 00:49:44.680
 so

00:49:44.680 --> 00:49:45.580
 right

00:49:45.580 --> 00:49:45.820
 that

00:49:45.820 --> 00:49:46.220
 people

00:49:46.220 --> 00:49:46.500
 might

00:49:46.500 --> 00:49:46.880
 go

00:49:46.880 --> 00:49:47.080
 and

00:49:47.080 --> 00:49:47.480
 person

00:49:47.480 --> 00:49:47.680
 to

00:49:47.680 --> 00:49:48.080
 person

00:49:48.080 --> 00:49:48.680
 share

00:49:48.680 --> 00:49:48.840
 the

00:49:48.840 --> 00:49:49.140
 gospel

00:49:49.140 --> 00:49:49.300
 of

00:49:49.300 --> 00:49:49.519
 Jesus

00:49:49.519 --> 00:49:50.039
 Christ

00:49:50.039 --> 00:49:50.860
 I

00:49:50.860 --> 00:49:51.080
 think

00:49:51.080 --> 00:49:51.360
 Jesus

00:49:51.360 --> 00:49:51.820
 hangs

00:49:51.820 --> 00:49:52.060
 his

00:49:52.060 --> 00:49:52.440
 head

00:49:52.440 --> 00:49:52.840
 and

00:49:52.840 --> 00:49:53.100
 wags

00:49:53.100 --> 00:49:53.240
 it

00:49:53.240 --> 00:49:53.539
 back

00:49:53.539 --> 00:49:53.740
 and

00:49:53.740 --> 00:49:54.080
 forth

00:49:54.080 --> 00:49:54.920
 with

00:49:54.920 --> 00:49:56.140
 online

00:49:56.140 --> 00:49:56.740
 TV

00:49:56.740 --> 00:49:57.860
 and the

00:49:57.860 --> 00:49:58.660
 insanity

00:49:58.660 --> 00:49:59.100
 of

00:49:59.100 --> 00:49:59.680
 churches

00:49:59.680 --> 00:50:00.519
 there's

00:50:00.519 --> 00:50:01.039
 a church

00:50:01.039 --> 00:50:01.400
 which I

00:50:01.400 --> 00:50:01.519
 won't

00:50:01.519 --> 00:50:01.700
 name

00:50:01.700 --> 00:50:01.840
 the

00:50:01.840 --> 00:50:02.080
 name

00:50:02.080 --> 00:50:02.340
 of

00:50:02.340 --> 00:50:02.580
 that's

00:50:02.580 --> 00:50:02.720
 on

00:50:02.720 --> 00:50:02.960
 the

00:50:02.960 --> 00:50:03.380
 west

00:50:03.380 --> 00:50:03.720
 coast

00:50:03.720 --> 00:50:03.900
 in

00:50:03.900 --> 00:50:04.420
 California

00:50:04.420 --> 00:50:05.000
 and

00:50:05.000 --> 00:50:05.160
 they're

00:50:05.160 --> 00:50:05.780
 starting

00:50:05.780 --> 00:50:06.740
 a

00:50:06.740 --> 00:50:07.019
 version

00:50:07.019 --> 00:50:07.180
 of

00:50:07.180 --> 00:50:07.300
 that

00:50:07.300 --> 00:50:07.519
 church

00:50:07.519 --> 00:50:07.700
 in

00:50:07.700 --> 00:50:08.380
 India

00:50:08.380 --> 00:50:09.720
 and

00:50:09.720 --> 00:50:09.900
 they're

00:50:09.900 --> 00:50:10.300
 so

00:50:10.300 --> 00:50:10.840
 arrogant

00:50:10.840 --> 00:50:11.100
 to

00:50:11.100 --> 00:50:11.440
 think

00:50:11.440 --> 00:50:11.659
 that

00:50:11.659 --> 00:50:12.059
 the

00:50:12.059 --> 00:50:12.440
 Indian

00:50:12.440 --> 00:50:12.900
 people

00:50:12.900 --> 00:50:13.320
 need

00:50:13.320 --> 00:50:13.400
 to

00:50:13.400 --> 00:50:13.539
 hear

00:50:13.539 --> 00:50:13.880
 his

00:50:13.880 --> 00:50:14.400
 preaching

00:50:14.400 --> 00:50:15.280
 that

00:50:15.280 --> 00:50:15.519
 they're

00:50:15.519 --> 00:50:16.579
 simulcasting

00:50:16.579 --> 00:50:17.000
 him

00:50:17.000 --> 00:50:17.860
 into

00:50:17.860 --> 00:50:18.380
 India

00:50:18.380 --> 00:50:20.400
 the

00:50:20.400 --> 00:50:21.079
 arrogance

00:50:21.079 --> 00:50:21.599
 of that

00:50:21.599 --> 00:50:21.880
 kind

00:50:21.880 --> 00:50:22.000
 of

00:50:22.000 --> 00:50:22.340
 thing

00:50:22.340 --> 00:50:22.840
 the

00:50:22.840 --> 00:50:23.000
 kind

00:50:23.000 --> 00:50:23.139
 of

00:50:23.139 --> 00:50:23.760
 pride

00:50:23.760 --> 00:50:23.980
 that

00:50:23.980 --> 00:50:24.260
 comes

00:50:24.260 --> 00:50:24.480
 from

00:50:24.480 --> 00:50:24.780
 that

00:50:24.780 --> 00:50:25.420
 rather

00:50:25.420 --> 00:50:25.659
 than

00:50:25.659 --> 00:50:25.880
 just

00:50:25.880 --> 00:50:26.300
 equipping

00:50:26.300 --> 00:50:26.720
 people

00:50:26.720 --> 00:50:27.659
 equipping

00:50:27.659 --> 00:50:27.960
 people

00:50:27.960 --> 00:50:28.320
 to go

00:50:28.320 --> 00:50:28.579
 and do

00:50:28.579 --> 00:50:28.760
 good

00:50:28.760 --> 00:50:29.300
 works

00:50:29.300 --> 00:50:30.200
 right

00:50:30.200 --> 00:50:30.740
 the

00:50:30.740 --> 00:50:31.119
 gospel

00:50:31.119 --> 00:50:31.360
 is

00:50:31.360 --> 00:50:31.539
 on

00:50:31.539 --> 00:50:32.139
 three

00:50:32.139 --> 00:50:32.720
 continents

00:50:32.720 --> 00:50:33.079
 in

00:50:33.079 --> 00:50:33.400
 one

00:50:33.400 --> 00:50:33.940
 generation

00:50:33.940 --> 00:50:34.599
 after

00:50:34.599 --> 00:50:34.880
 Jesus

00:50:34.880 --> 00:50:35.400
 death

00:50:35.400 --> 00:50:36.119
 resurrection

00:50:36.119 --> 00:50:37.260
 because

00:50:37.260 --> 00:50:37.440
 they

00:50:37.440 --> 00:50:37.780
 went

00:50:37.780 --> 00:50:38.139
 and they

00:50:38.139 --> 00:50:38.440
 shared

00:50:38.440 --> 00:50:38.679
 and they

00:50:38.679 --> 00:50:38.960
 started

00:50:38.960 --> 00:50:39.380
 churches

00:50:39.380 --> 00:50:39.380


00:50:39.539 --> 00:50:39.679
 and they

00:50:39.679 --> 00:50:39.880
 went

00:50:39.880 --> 00:50:40.179
 and they

00:50:40.179 --> 00:50:40.480
 shared

00:50:40.480 --> 00:50:40.980
 and they

00:50:40.980 --> 00:50:41.400
 equipped

00:50:41.400 --> 00:50:41.840
 and we

00:50:41.840 --> 00:50:42.219
 never

00:50:42.219 --> 00:50:42.519
 should have

00:50:42.519 --> 00:50:42.699
 stepped

00:50:42.699 --> 00:50:42.980
 outside

00:50:42.980 --> 00:50:43.219
 of that

00:50:43.219 --> 00:50:43.519
 model

00:50:43.519 --> 00:50:44.860
 right

00:50:44.860 --> 00:50:46.599
 we all

00:50:46.599 --> 00:50:46.860
 have a

00:50:46.860 --> 00:50:47.320
 responsibility

00:50:47.320 --> 00:50:48.000
 to play

00:50:48.000 --> 00:50:48.900
 in this

00:50:48.900 --> 00:50:49.579
 process

00:50:49.579 --> 00:50:51.039
 right

00:50:51.039 --> 00:50:51.760
 you start

00:50:51.760 --> 00:50:52.559
 eliminating

00:50:52.559 --> 00:50:53.079
 some of you

00:50:53.079 --> 00:50:53.500
 from this

00:50:53.500 --> 00:50:53.880
 number

00:50:53.880 --> 00:50:54.280
 and this

00:50:54.280 --> 00:50:55.219
 multiplication

00:50:55.219 --> 00:50:55.760
 gets

00:50:55.760 --> 00:50:56.320
 dramatically

00:50:56.320 --> 00:50:56.960
 smaller

00:50:56.960 --> 00:50:59.139
 and I

00:50:59.139 --> 00:50:59.320
 know

00:50:59.320 --> 00:50:59.139
 and I

00:50:59.139 --> 00:50:59.320
 know

00:50:59.320 --> 00:50:59.460
 that

00:50:59.460 --> 00:51:01.579
 many

00:51:01.579 --> 00:51:02.039
 of you

00:51:02.039 --> 00:51:02.500
 have

00:51:02.500 --> 00:51:02.860
 hearts

00:51:02.860 --> 00:51:03.019
 for

00:51:03.019 --> 00:51:03.360
 this

00:51:03.360 --> 00:51:03.960
 many

00:51:03.960 --> 00:51:04.159
 of you

00:51:04.159 --> 00:51:04.300
 are

00:51:04.300 --> 00:51:04.740
 pressing

00:51:04.740 --> 00:51:05.039
 and

00:51:05.039 --> 00:51:05.320
 driving

00:51:05.320 --> 00:51:05.460
 I

00:51:05.460 --> 00:51:05.579
 have

00:51:05.579 --> 00:51:05.699
 been

00:51:05.699 --> 00:51:05.960
 so

00:51:05.960 --> 00:51:06.320
 encouraged

00:51:06.320 --> 00:51:06.500
 in the

00:51:06.500 --> 00:51:06.679
 last

00:51:06.679 --> 00:51:06.920
 couple

00:51:06.920 --> 00:51:07.079
 of

00:51:07.079 --> 00:51:07.380
 weeks

00:51:07.380 --> 00:51:07.920
 for the

00:51:07.920 --> 00:51:08.400
 amount

00:51:08.400 --> 00:51:08.599
 of

00:51:08.599 --> 00:51:08.880
 sharing

00:51:08.880 --> 00:51:09.139
 I've

00:51:09.139 --> 00:51:09.380
 heard

00:51:09.380 --> 00:51:09.900
 about

00:51:09.900 --> 00:51:10.740
 intentional

00:51:10.740 --> 00:51:11.420
 gospel

00:51:11.420 --> 00:51:12.019
 proclamation

00:51:12.019 --> 00:51:12.900
 really

00:51:12.900 --> 00:51:13.400
 connecting

00:51:13.400 --> 00:51:13.900
 really

00:51:13.900 --> 00:51:14.460
 pressing

00:51:14.460 --> 00:51:15.300
 it's

00:51:15.300 --> 00:51:15.460
 been

00:51:15.460 --> 00:51:16.179
 massively

00:51:16.179 --> 00:51:17.460
 encouraging

00:51:17.460 --> 00:51:17.900
 to me

00:51:17.900 --> 00:51:18.740
 and we're

00:51:18.740 --> 00:51:19.119
 not seeing

00:51:19.119 --> 00:51:19.559
 fruit of

00:51:19.559 --> 00:51:19.740
 that

00:51:19.740 --> 00:51:19.920
 yet

00:51:19.920 --> 00:51:20.079
 but

00:51:20.079 --> 00:51:20.360
 stick

00:51:20.360 --> 00:51:20.679
 to

00:51:20.679 --> 00:51:20.880
 it

00:51:20.880 --> 00:51:21.440
 and keep

00:51:21.440 --> 00:51:21.900
 going

00:51:21.900 --> 00:51:24.139
 I don't

00:51:24.139 --> 00:51:24.400
 think it's

00:51:24.400 --> 00:51:24.800
 the cultural

00:51:24.800 --> 00:51:25.039
 norm

00:51:25.039 --> 00:51:25.300
 what if

00:51:25.300 --> 00:51:25.380
 we

00:51:25.380 --> 00:51:25.700
 change

00:51:25.700 --> 00:51:25.880
 that

00:51:25.880 --> 00:51:26.200
 culture

00:51:26.200 --> 00:51:26.539
 in our

00:51:26.539 --> 00:51:26.840
 churches

00:51:26.840 --> 00:51:27.400
 what if

00:51:27.400 --> 00:51:27.480
 it

00:51:27.480 --> 00:51:27.740
 became

00:51:27.740 --> 00:51:28.599
 strange

00:51:28.599 --> 00:51:29.160
 if you

00:51:29.160 --> 00:51:29.500
 didn't

00:51:29.500 --> 00:51:29.980
 show up

00:51:29.980 --> 00:51:30.260
 and have

00:51:30.260 --> 00:51:30.660
 something

00:51:30.660 --> 00:51:31.139
 to share

00:51:31.139 --> 00:51:31.440
 about the

00:51:31.440 --> 00:51:31.760
 work of

00:51:31.760 --> 00:51:31.920
 God

00:51:31.920 --> 00:51:32.160
 in your

00:51:32.160 --> 00:51:32.559

00:51:34.860 --> 00:51:35.019
 it was

00:51:35.019 --> 00:51:35.480
 weird

00:51:35.480 --> 00:51:35.920
 that all

00:52:16.800 --> 00:52:17.220
 focused

00:52:17.220 --> 00:52:17.960
 not outwardly

00:52:17.960 --> 00:52:18.480

 things

 okay that's

00:52:53.059 --> 00:52:53.340
 my sixth

00:52:53.340 --> 00:52:53.519
 point

00:52:53.519 --> 00:52:54.340
 seventhly

00:52:54.340 --> 00:52:55.960
 we may

00:52:55.960 --> 00:52:56.539
 not regularly

00:52:56.539 --> 00:52:57.420
 recognize the

00:52:57.420 --> 00:52:58.059
 transforming

00:52:58.059 --> 00:52:59.299
 power of

00:52:59.299 --> 00:52:59.719
 the gospel

00:52:59.719 --> 00:53:00.440
 we may not

00:53:00.440 --> 00:53:00.940
 regularly

00:53:00.940 --> 00:53:01.759
 recognize it

00:53:01.759 --> 00:53:02.639
 the gospel has

00:53:02.639 --> 00:53:03.400
 transforming power

00:53:03.400 --> 00:53:03.860
 it's transforming

00:53:03.860 --> 00:53:04.360
 power in our

00:53:04.360 --> 00:53:04.860
 lives all the

00:53:04.860 --> 00:53:05.219
 time

00:53:05.219 --> 00:53:08.619
 Paul says in

00:53:08.619 --> 00:53:09.379
 Romans 1 16

00:53:09.379 --> 00:53:10.119
 for I am not

00:53:10.119 --> 00:53:10.759
 ashamed of the

00:53:10.759 --> 00:53:11.079
 gospel

00:53:11.079 --> 00:53:12.079
 he's not ashamed

00:53:12.079 --> 00:53:12.519
 right we've

00:53:12.519 --> 00:53:12.879
 seen this

00:53:12.879 --> 00:53:13.839
 exhortation

00:53:13.839 --> 00:53:14.459
 what will

00:53:14.459 --> 00:53:14.980
 happen if we

00:53:14.980 --> 00:53:15.719
 are ashamed

00:53:15.719 --> 00:53:16.099
 in Mark

00:53:16.099 --> 00:53:16.679
 chapter 8

00:53:16.679 --> 00:53:17.419
 he's not

00:53:17.419 --> 00:53:17.719
 ashamed

00:53:17.719 --> 00:53:18.179
 why

00:53:18.179 --> 00:53:18.919
 for it

00:53:18.919 --> 00:53:19.399
 is the

00:53:19.399 --> 00:53:20.259
 power of

00:53:20.259 --> 00:53:20.759
 God

00:53:20.759 --> 00:53:21.419
 for salvation

00:53:21.419 --> 00:53:22.039
 to everyone

00:53:22.039 --> 00:53:22.679
 who believes

00:53:22.679 --> 00:53:23.819
 to the Jew

00:53:23.819 --> 00:53:24.319
 first and also

00:53:24.319 --> 00:53:24.739
 the Greek

00:53:24.739 --> 00:53:25.919
 if we change

00:53:25.919 --> 00:53:26.419
 the culture

00:53:26.419 --> 00:53:27.239
 if people are

00:53:27.239 --> 00:53:28.000
 sharing constantly

00:53:28.000 --> 00:53:28.419
 about the

00:53:28.419 --> 00:53:28.899
 transforming

00:53:28.899 --> 00:53:29.439
 work of the

00:53:29.439 --> 00:53:30.219
 gospel in

00:53:30.219 --> 00:53:30.819
 their lives

00:53:30.819 --> 00:53:31.119
 and the

00:53:31.119 --> 00:53:31.500
 lives of

00:53:31.500 --> 00:53:31.759
 the people

00:53:31.759 --> 00:53:32.480
 around them

00:53:32.480 --> 00:53:32.939
 I think

00:53:32.939 --> 00:53:33.119
 that would

00:53:33.119 --> 00:53:33.419
 be good

00:53:33.419 --> 00:53:33.699
 for us

00:53:33.699 --> 00:53:34.099
 because we

00:53:34.099 --> 00:53:34.539
 remember

00:53:34.539 --> 00:53:34.940
 that the

00:53:34.940 --> 00:53:35.659
 gospel does

00:53:35.659 --> 00:53:36.139
 in fact

00:53:36.139 --> 00:53:37.019
 save people

00:53:37.019 --> 00:53:37.300
 that our

00:53:37.300 --> 00:53:37.699
 confidence

00:53:37.699 --> 00:53:38.500
 will increase

00:53:38.500 --> 00:53:39.039
 and that

00:53:39.039 --> 00:53:39.940
 again experience

00:53:39.940 --> 00:53:40.519
 emboldens

00:53:40.519 --> 00:53:41.500
 your belief

00:53:41.500 --> 00:53:42.559
 get out and

00:53:42.559 --> 00:53:42.960
 share the

00:53:42.960 --> 00:53:43.440
 gospel and

00:53:43.440 --> 00:53:43.800
 see people

00:53:43.800 --> 00:53:45.039
 respond to

00:53:45.039 --> 00:53:45.500
 the gospel

00:53:45.500 --> 00:53:46.239
 in the

00:53:46.239 --> 00:53:46.900
 strangest of

00:53:46.900 --> 00:53:47.279
 ways

00:53:47.279 --> 00:53:47.920
 right

00:53:47.920 --> 00:53:48.559
 melt

00:53:48.559 --> 00:53:49.239
 in front

00:53:49.239 --> 00:53:49.539
 of you

00:53:49.539 --> 00:53:50.759
 so firmly

00:53:50.759 --> 00:53:51.159
 believing

00:53:51.159 --> 00:53:51.679
 one thing

00:53:51.679 --> 00:53:51.920
 and then

00:53:51.920 --> 00:53:52.380
 finding that

00:53:52.380 --> 00:53:52.940
 their entire

00:53:52.940 --> 00:53:53.460
 worldview

00:53:53.460 --> 00:53:54.079
 has changed

00:53:54.079 --> 00:53:54.719
 in an

00:53:54.719 --> 00:53:55.059
 instant

00:53:55.059 --> 00:53:56.320
 and you'll

00:53:56.320 --> 00:53:56.639
 know

00:53:56.639 --> 00:53:57.579
 that God's

00:53:57.579 --> 00:53:58.340
 word is

00:53:58.340 --> 00:53:58.840
 powerful

00:53:58.840 --> 00:53:59.599
 to change

00:53:59.599 --> 00:53:59.920
 people's

00:53:59.920 --> 00:54:00.239
 hearts

00:54:00.239 --> 00:54:02.199
 and

00:54:02.199 --> 00:54:02.619
 eighthly

00:54:02.619 --> 00:54:03.219
 and finally

00:54:03.219 --> 00:54:05.000
 feel strange

00:54:05.000 --> 00:54:05.299
 to say

00:54:05.299 --> 00:54:07.419
 we may not

00:54:07.419 --> 00:54:07.739
 believe that

00:54:07.739 --> 00:54:07.939
 we are

00:54:07.939 --> 00:54:08.299
 equipped

00:54:08.299 --> 00:54:10.159
 we may not

00:54:10.159 --> 00:54:11.239
 believe that

00:54:11.239 --> 00:54:11.399
 we are

00:54:11.399 --> 00:54:11.799
 equipped but

00:54:11.799 --> 00:54:12.199
 you are all

00:54:12.199 --> 00:54:12.859
 more equipped

00:54:12.859 --> 00:54:13.699
 than you

00:54:13.699 --> 00:54:14.980
 may think

00:54:14.980 --> 00:54:16.039
 you have

00:54:16.039 --> 00:54:17.119
 responded in

00:54:17.119 --> 00:54:18.379
 faith to

00:54:18.379 --> 00:54:18.759
 the good news

00:54:18.759 --> 00:54:19.039
 of Jesus

00:54:19.039 --> 00:54:19.459
 Christ

00:54:19.459 --> 00:54:21.219
 if you claim

00:54:21.219 --> 00:54:21.559
 to be a

00:54:21.559 --> 00:54:22.179
 Christian you

00:54:22.179 --> 00:54:22.839
 better know

00:54:22.839 --> 00:54:23.339
 the gospel

00:54:23.339 --> 00:54:24.339
 because you

00:54:24.339 --> 00:54:25.079
 responded to

00:54:25.079 --> 00:54:25.579
 the gospel

00:54:25.579 --> 00:54:27.000
 you can't be a

00:54:27.000 --> 00:54:27.459
 Christian and

00:54:27.459 --> 00:54:28.559
 not understand

00:54:28.559 --> 00:54:29.639
 the gospel

00:54:29.639 --> 00:54:30.199
 God saves

00:54:30.199 --> 00:54:30.859
 all of you

00:54:30.859 --> 00:54:31.739
 he saves your

00:54:31.739 --> 00:54:32.359
 heart he saves

00:54:32.359 --> 00:54:32.899
 your mind

00:54:32.900 --> 00:54:33.360
 as well

00:54:33.360 --> 00:54:33.700
 this is the

00:54:33.700 --> 00:54:34.059
 way that

00:54:34.059 --> 00:54:35.320
 he accesses

00:54:35.320 --> 00:54:35.760
 our hearts

00:54:35.760 --> 00:54:36.260
 through our

00:54:36.260 --> 00:54:36.860
 minds

00:54:36.860 --> 00:54:37.240
 you better

00:54:37.240 --> 00:54:37.639
 be able to

00:54:37.639 --> 00:54:38.079
 give at

00:54:38.079 --> 00:54:38.440
 least a

00:54:38.440 --> 00:54:38.900
 simple

00:54:38.900 --> 00:54:39.780
 gospel

00:54:39.780 --> 00:54:40.559
 outline

00:54:40.559 --> 00:54:41.980
 if you're

00:54:41.980 --> 00:54:42.400
 a Christian

00:54:42.400 --> 00:54:45.200
 and you've

00:54:45.200 --> 00:54:45.500
 been given

00:54:45.500 --> 00:54:45.980
 the helper

00:54:45.980 --> 00:54:47.000
 the Holy

00:54:47.000 --> 00:54:47.240
 Spirit

00:54:47.240 --> 00:54:47.860
 you have

00:54:47.860 --> 00:54:48.440
 within you

00:54:48.440 --> 00:54:49.619
 an extension

00:54:49.619 --> 00:54:50.000
 of Jesus

00:54:50.000 --> 00:54:50.539
 Christ

00:54:50.539 --> 00:54:51.680
 when the

00:54:51.680 --> 00:54:52.139
 apostles were

00:54:52.139 --> 00:54:52.619
 lamenting

00:54:52.619 --> 00:54:53.019
 Jesus is

00:54:53.019 --> 00:54:53.360
 leaving

00:54:53.360 --> 00:54:54.200
 he said

00:54:54.200 --> 00:54:54.440
 no no

00:54:54.440 --> 00:54:55.039
 it's better

00:54:55.039 --> 00:54:55.480
 that I go

00:54:55.480 --> 00:54:55.860
 away

00:54:55.860 --> 00:54:56.820
 sometimes

00:54:56.820 --> 00:54:57.059
 that's

00:54:57.059 --> 00:54:57.360
 hard to

00:54:57.360 --> 00:54:57.559
 understand

00:54:57.559 --> 00:54:57.800
 like I

00:54:57.800 --> 00:54:58.019
 would have

00:54:58.019 --> 00:54:58.840
 loved to

00:54:58.840 --> 00:54:59.079
 sat at

00:54:59.079 --> 00:54:59.300
 the feet

00:54:59.300 --> 00:54:59.720
 of Jesus

00:54:59.720 --> 00:55:00.360
 but he

00:55:00.360 --> 00:55:00.579
 says no

00:55:00.579 --> 00:55:01.180
 it's better

00:55:01.180 --> 00:55:01.519
 that I go

00:55:01.519 --> 00:55:01.660
 away

00:55:01.660 --> 00:55:01.960
 because if I

00:55:01.960 --> 00:55:02.320
 don't go

00:55:02.320 --> 00:55:02.660
 away I

00:55:02.660 --> 00:55:03.140
 can't send

00:55:03.140 --> 00:55:03.420
 you the

00:55:03.420 --> 00:55:03.660
 helper

00:55:03.660 --> 00:55:04.800
 right so

00:55:04.800 --> 00:55:05.059
 he has

00:55:05.059 --> 00:55:05.820
 extended

00:55:05.820 --> 00:55:06.760
 himself in

00:55:06.760 --> 00:55:07.039
 a most

00:55:07.039 --> 00:55:07.740
 magnificent

00:55:07.740 --> 00:55:08.780
 way that

00:55:08.780 --> 00:55:09.039
 we might

00:55:09.039 --> 00:55:09.720
 all have

00:55:09.720 --> 00:55:10.580
 this abiding

00:55:10.580 --> 00:55:11.700
 presence of

00:55:11.700 --> 00:55:12.080
 Christ in

00:55:12.080 --> 00:55:12.340
 our lives

00:55:12.340 --> 00:55:12.920
 to help

00:55:12.920 --> 00:55:14.580
 us in

00:55:14.580 --> 00:55:14.860
 what we

00:55:14.860 --> 00:55:15.500
 should say

00:55:15.500 --> 00:55:16.340
 and how

00:55:16.340 --> 00:55:16.620
 we should

00:55:16.620 --> 00:55:17.039
 say it

00:55:17.039 --> 00:55:18.320
 Mark 13

00:55:18.320 --> 00:55:18.600
 11

00:55:18.600 --> 00:55:18.840
 Jesus'

00:55:19.000 --> 00:55:19.380
 encouragement

00:55:19.380 --> 00:55:19.920
 to the

00:55:19.920 --> 00:55:20.460
 apostles as

00:55:20.460 --> 00:55:20.840
 he's telling

00:55:20.840 --> 00:55:21.120
 them about

00:55:21.120 --> 00:55:21.860
 the end

00:55:21.860 --> 00:55:22.280
 of things

00:55:22.280 --> 00:55:22.640
 and the way

00:55:22.640 --> 00:55:22.880
 that they're

00:55:22.880 --> 00:55:23.220
 going to

00:55:23.220 --> 00:55:23.480
 suffer

00:55:23.480 --> 00:55:24.420
 he says

00:55:24.420 --> 00:55:24.600
 that when

00:55:24.600 --> 00:55:24.900
 they bring

00:55:24.900 --> 00:55:25.100
 you to

00:55:25.100 --> 00:55:25.620
 trial and

00:55:25.620 --> 00:55:26.019
 deliver you

00:55:26.019 --> 00:55:26.340
 over

00:55:26.340 --> 00:55:27.260
 do not

00:55:27.260 --> 00:55:28.000
 be anxious

00:55:28.000 --> 00:55:28.620
 beforehand

00:55:28.620 --> 00:55:29.220
 what you

00:55:29.220 --> 00:55:29.660
 are to

00:55:29.660 --> 00:55:30.059
 say

00:55:30.059 --> 00:55:31.180
 as you're

00:55:31.180 --> 00:55:31.500
 sitting in

00:55:31.500 --> 00:55:31.880
 a prison

00:55:31.880 --> 00:55:33.039
 and you're

00:55:33.039 --> 00:55:33.340
 going to

00:55:33.340 --> 00:55:33.980
 a trial

00:55:33.980 --> 00:55:35.059
 likely to

00:55:35.059 --> 00:55:35.500
 be killed

00:55:35.500 --> 00:55:35.920
 don't be

00:55:35.920 --> 00:55:36.300
 anxious

00:55:36.300 --> 00:55:37.140
 about what

00:55:37.140 --> 00:55:37.320
 you're going

00:55:37.320 --> 00:55:37.660
 to say

00:55:37.660 --> 00:55:38.980
 but say

00:55:38.980 --> 00:55:39.519
 whatever is

00:55:39.519 --> 00:55:39.860
 given you

00:55:39.860 --> 00:55:40.079
 in that

00:55:40.079 --> 00:55:40.500
 hour for

00:55:40.500 --> 00:55:40.800
 it is not

00:55:40.800 --> 00:55:41.180
 you who

00:55:41.180 --> 00:55:41.579
 speak

00:55:41.579 --> 00:55:42.539
 but the

00:55:42.539 --> 00:55:43.019
 Holy Spirit

00:55:43.019 --> 00:55:45.120
 so when

00:55:45.120 --> 00:55:45.420
 your friend

00:55:45.420 --> 00:55:45.900
 asks you a

00:55:45.900 --> 00:55:46.780
 question about

00:55:46.780 --> 00:55:47.340
 Christianity

00:55:47.340 --> 00:55:48.680
 right

00:55:48.680 --> 00:55:49.539
 and the end

00:55:49.539 --> 00:55:50.160
 result may be

00:55:50.160 --> 00:55:50.600
 that they just

00:55:50.600 --> 00:55:51.000
 don't quite

00:55:51.000 --> 00:55:51.400
 understand

00:55:51.400 --> 00:55:51.900
 don't be

00:55:51.900 --> 00:55:52.360
 anxious

00:55:52.360 --> 00:55:54.059
 it's going

00:55:54.059 --> 00:55:54.240
 to be

00:55:54.240 --> 00:55:54.660
 alright

00:55:54.660 --> 00:55:55.220
 the Spirit

00:55:55.220 --> 00:55:55.420
 is going

00:55:55.420 --> 00:55:55.800
 to speak

00:55:55.800 --> 00:55:56.320
 through you

00:55:56.320 --> 00:55:57.940
 you are

00:55:57.940 --> 00:55:58.880
 probably going

00:55:58.880 --> 00:55:59.340
 to flub it

00:55:59.340 --> 00:56:00.059
 up sometimes

00:56:00.059 --> 00:56:01.460
 but God

00:56:01.460 --> 00:56:01.900
 seems to

00:56:01.900 --> 00:56:03.380
 use the

00:56:03.380 --> 00:56:03.940
 foolishness

00:56:03.940 --> 00:56:04.380
 of men

00:56:04.380 --> 00:56:04.840
 I feel

00:56:04.840 --> 00:56:05.160
 this way

00:56:05.160 --> 00:56:05.960
 most Sundays

00:56:05.960 --> 00:56:06.539
 to accomplish

00:56:06.539 --> 00:56:07.099
 his work

00:56:07.099 --> 00:56:09.680
 the Spirit

00:56:09.680 --> 00:56:09.900
 moves

00:56:09.900 --> 00:56:10.360
 we have

00:56:10.360 --> 00:56:10.940
 the helper

00:56:10.940 --> 00:56:11.680
 I'll give you

00:56:11.680 --> 00:56:12.140
 the example

00:56:12.140 --> 00:56:12.680
 of Stephen

00:56:12.680 --> 00:56:13.360
 in closing

00:56:13.360 --> 00:56:14.860
 mere days

00:56:14.860 --> 00:56:15.680
 maybe just

00:56:15.680 --> 00:56:16.380
 weeks

00:56:16.380 --> 00:56:17.980
 after Stephen

00:56:17.980 --> 00:56:18.500
 believes

00:56:18.500 --> 00:56:19.620
 he's made

00:56:19.620 --> 00:56:21.400
 some issues

00:56:21.400 --> 00:56:22.059
 that are arising

00:56:22.059 --> 00:56:22.599
 in the church

00:56:22.599 --> 00:56:23.159
 the apostles

00:56:23.159 --> 00:56:23.980
 want to devote

00:56:23.980 --> 00:56:24.559
 themselves to

00:56:24.559 --> 00:56:24.960
 prayer and the

00:56:24.960 --> 00:56:25.400
 study of the

00:56:25.400 --> 00:56:25.659
 word

00:56:25.659 --> 00:56:27.199
 and

00:56:27.199 --> 00:56:29.860
 he's appointed

00:56:29.860 --> 00:56:30.519
 as a deacon

00:56:30.519 --> 00:56:33.119
 not long

00:56:33.119 --> 00:56:33.739
 after that

00:56:33.739 --> 00:56:35.480
 he is going

00:56:35.480 --> 00:56:35.779
 about

00:56:35.779 --> 00:56:36.219
 and he's

00:56:36.219 --> 00:56:36.679
 preaching

00:56:36.679 --> 00:56:37.380
 he's teaching

00:56:37.380 --> 00:56:37.779
 the word

00:56:37.779 --> 00:56:39.099
 and he's

00:56:39.099 --> 00:56:39.420
 brought to

00:56:39.420 --> 00:56:39.779
 trial

00:56:39.779 --> 00:56:40.139
 and I'll

00:56:40.139 --> 00:56:40.699
 just encourage

00:56:40.699 --> 00:56:41.179
 you to read

00:56:41.179 --> 00:56:41.940
 Acts chapter 6

00:56:41.940 --> 00:56:42.320
 there's a

00:56:42.320 --> 00:56:43.400
 fantastic sermon

00:56:43.400 --> 00:56:46.059
 brought by the

00:56:46.059 --> 00:56:46.599
 Spirit in

00:56:46.599 --> 00:56:47.299
 Stephen's life

00:56:47.299 --> 00:56:48.420
 but Stephen's

00:56:48.420 --> 00:56:48.840
 not a

00:56:48.840 --> 00:56:49.880
 he's filled

00:56:49.880 --> 00:56:50.400
 with the

00:56:50.400 --> 00:56:50.679
 Spirit

00:56:50.679 --> 00:56:53.019
 not

00:56:53.019 --> 00:56:53.940
 intellectually

00:56:53.940 --> 00:56:54.519
 gifted in

00:56:54.519 --> 00:56:54.960
 any manner

00:56:54.960 --> 00:56:55.399
 whatsoever

00:56:55.399 --> 00:56:56.219
 but Acts

00:56:56.219 --> 00:56:56.619
 6.10

00:56:56.619 --> 00:56:57.079
 says

00:56:57.079 --> 00:56:58.460
 but they

00:56:58.460 --> 00:56:58.759
 those are

00:56:58.759 --> 00:56:59.039
 those that

00:56:59.039 --> 00:56:59.480
 brought him

00:56:59.480 --> 00:57:00.619
 to trial

00:57:00.619 --> 00:57:01.099
 they could

00:57:01.099 --> 00:57:01.739
 not withstand

00:57:01.739 --> 00:57:02.519
 the wisdom

00:57:02.519 --> 00:57:03.619
 and the

00:57:03.619 --> 00:57:04.099
 Spirit

00:57:04.099 --> 00:57:05.500
 with which

00:57:05.500 --> 00:57:05.980
 he was

00:57:05.980 --> 00:57:06.659
 speaking

00:57:06.659 --> 00:57:09.279
 read

00:57:09.279 --> 00:57:10.099
 that sermon

00:57:10.099 --> 00:57:10.559
 and just

00:57:10.559 --> 00:57:11.259
 remember that

00:57:11.259 --> 00:57:11.639
 he is

00:57:11.639 --> 00:57:12.719
 an infant

00:57:12.719 --> 00:57:13.679
 in the

00:57:13.679 --> 00:57:14.079
 faith

00:57:14.079 --> 00:57:15.460
 I'll give

00:57:15.460 --> 00:57:16.399
 maybe weeks

00:57:16.399 --> 00:57:17.179
 weeks

00:57:17.179 --> 00:57:17.859
 in the

00:57:17.859 --> 00:57:18.199
 faith

00:57:18.199 --> 00:57:19.239
 and yet

00:57:19.239 --> 00:57:19.579
 by the

00:57:19.579 --> 00:57:19.839
 power

00:57:19.839 --> 00:57:20.079
 of the

00:57:20.079 --> 00:57:20.319
 Spirit

00:57:20.319 --> 00:57:20.819
 he delivers

00:57:20.819 --> 00:57:21.079
 this

00:57:21.079 --> 00:57:21.859
 magnificent

00:57:21.859 --> 00:57:23.159
 sermon

00:57:23.159 --> 00:57:26.259
 the great

00:57:26.259 --> 00:57:26.960
 mark of

00:57:26.960 --> 00:57:27.259
 Christian

00:57:27.259 --> 00:57:27.899
 maturity

00:57:27.899 --> 00:57:28.319
 beloved

00:57:28.319 --> 00:57:28.859
 is not

00:57:28.859 --> 00:57:29.460
 how much

00:57:29.460 --> 00:57:30.199
 you know

00:57:30.199 --> 00:57:31.539
 we're a

00:57:31.539 --> 00:57:32.759
 smart

00:57:32.759 --> 00:57:34.000
 church

00:57:34.000 --> 00:57:35.439
 it's not

00:57:35.439 --> 00:57:35.839
 how much

00:57:35.839 --> 00:57:36.279
 you know

00:57:36.279 --> 00:57:36.719
 it's what

00:57:36.719 --> 00:57:37.339
 you do

00:57:37.339 --> 00:57:38.759
 with what

00:57:38.759 --> 00:57:39.159
 you know

00:57:39.159 --> 00:57:40.659
 and I know

00:57:40.659 --> 00:57:41.319
 many Christians

00:57:41.319 --> 00:57:41.980
 who know

00:57:41.980 --> 00:57:42.619
 very very

00:57:42.619 --> 00:57:43.039
 little

00:57:43.039 --> 00:57:44.460
 but are to

00:57:44.460 --> 00:57:45.339
 be esteemed

00:57:45.340 --> 00:57:46.000
 for their

00:57:46.000 --> 00:57:46.400
 obedience

00:57:46.400 --> 00:57:47.180
 the way

00:57:47.180 --> 00:57:47.640
 in which

00:57:47.640 --> 00:57:48.780
 they respond

00:57:48.780 --> 00:57:49.200
 to the

00:57:49.200 --> 00:57:49.539
 things they

00:57:49.539 --> 00:57:49.720
 know

00:57:49.720 --> 00:57:49.940
 and I

00:57:49.940 --> 00:57:50.100
 know

00:57:50.100 --> 00:57:50.680
 many

00:57:50.680 --> 00:57:51.000
 Christians

00:57:51.000 --> 00:57:51.440
 who are

00:57:51.440 --> 00:57:52.079
 rather

00:57:52.079 --> 00:57:52.900
 brilliant

00:57:52.900 --> 00:57:53.240
 in what

00:57:53.240 --> 00:57:53.680
 they know

00:57:53.680 --> 00:57:54.100
 and do

00:57:54.100 --> 00:57:54.640
 so little

00:57:54.640 --> 00:57:55.079
 with it

00:57:55.079 --> 00:57:56.000
 and it's

00:57:56.000 --> 00:57:56.440
 a shame

00:57:56.440 --> 00:57:57.300
 it's an

00:57:57.300 --> 00:57:57.600
 absolute

00:57:57.600 --> 00:57:58.039
 shame

00:57:58.039 --> 00:58:00.500
 so I

00:58:00.500 --> 00:58:00.820
 would ask

00:58:00.820 --> 00:58:01.039
 are you

00:58:01.039 --> 00:58:01.460
 faithful

00:58:01.460 --> 00:58:01.860
 with what

00:58:01.860 --> 00:58:02.280
 God has

00:58:02.280 --> 00:58:02.680
 given to

00:58:02.680 --> 00:58:02.880
 you

00:58:02.880 --> 00:58:04.860
 are you

00:58:04.860 --> 00:58:05.500
 a disciple

00:58:05.500 --> 00:58:08.059
 who makes

00:58:08.059 --> 00:58:08.579
 disciples

00:58:08.579 --> 00:58:09.400
 the two

00:58:09.400 --> 00:58:10.400
 are absolutely

00:58:10.400 --> 00:58:12.100
 inseparable

00:58:12.100 --> 00:58:14.880
 next week

00:58:14.880 --> 00:58:16.059
 we will

00:58:16.059 --> 00:58:16.740
 talk

00:58:16.740 --> 00:58:17.599
 we will

00:58:17.599 --> 00:58:19.119
 preach to

00:58:19.119 --> 00:58:19.420
 you

00:58:19.420 --> 00:58:20.280
 the things

00:58:20.280 --> 00:58:20.579
 that the

00:58:20.579 --> 00:58:21.039
 scriptures

00:58:21.039 --> 00:58:22.320
 show us

00:58:22.320 --> 00:58:22.900
 that can

00:58:22.900 --> 00:58:23.579
 be equipping

00:58:23.579 --> 00:58:25.940
 the things

00:58:25.940 --> 00:58:26.420
 that the

00:58:26.420 --> 00:58:27.140
 model and

00:58:27.140 --> 00:58:27.740
 the pattern

00:58:27.740 --> 00:58:28.280
 in which we

00:58:28.280 --> 00:58:28.780
 should follow

00:58:28.780 --> 00:58:29.160
 as we look

00:58:29.160 --> 00:58:29.619
 at the life

00:58:29.619 --> 00:58:30.360
 and teaching

00:58:30.360 --> 00:58:31.160
 of Jesus

00:58:31.160 --> 00:58:31.519
 Christ

00:58:31.519 --> 00:58:31.840
 so be

00:58:31.840 --> 00:58:32.240
 encouraged

00:58:32.240 --> 00:58:32.680
 by that

00:58:32.680 --> 00:58:33.039
 but this

00:58:33.039 --> 00:58:33.340
 week

00:58:33.340 --> 00:58:34.200
 I want

00:58:34.200 --> 00:58:35.579
 you to

00:58:35.579 --> 00:58:35.960
 stew in

00:58:35.960 --> 00:58:36.160
 it

00:58:36.160 --> 00:58:38.300
 I want

00:58:38.300 --> 00:58:38.720
 you to

00:58:38.720 --> 00:58:39.000
 really

00:58:39.000 --> 00:58:40.320
 take an

00:58:40.320 --> 00:58:40.660
 account

00:58:40.660 --> 00:58:41.000
 of your

00:58:41.000 --> 00:58:41.360
 life

00:58:41.360 --> 00:58:41.619
 and the

00:58:41.619 --> 00:58:41.820
 things

00:58:41.820 --> 00:58:42.019
 that you

00:58:42.019 --> 00:58:42.220
 care

00:58:42.220 --> 00:58:42.559
 about

00:58:42.559 --> 00:58:43.200
 and the

00:58:43.200 --> 00:58:43.640
 efforts

00:58:43.640 --> 00:58:43.980
 that you

00:58:43.980 --> 00:58:44.220
 put

00:58:44.220 --> 00:58:44.480
 towards

00:58:44.480 --> 00:58:44.700
 things

00:58:44.699 --> 00:58:44.960
 and I'm

00:58:44.960 --> 00:58:45.159
 not

00:58:45.159 --> 00:58:45.579
 suggesting

00:58:45.579 --> 00:58:45.919
 that we're

00:58:45.919 --> 00:58:46.359
 not good

00:58:46.359 --> 00:58:47.199
 parents

00:58:47.199 --> 00:58:47.839
 and employees

00:58:47.839 --> 00:58:49.119
 and that we

00:58:49.119 --> 00:58:49.519
 don't work

00:58:49.519 --> 00:58:50.079
 hard in our

00:58:50.079 --> 00:58:50.500
 classes

00:58:50.500 --> 00:58:51.059
 but we do

00:58:51.059 --> 00:58:51.779
 all of that

00:58:51.779 --> 00:58:52.559
 with the

00:58:52.559 --> 00:58:52.939
 kingdom of

00:58:52.939 --> 00:58:53.119
 God

00:58:53.119 --> 00:58:53.319
 and the

00:58:53.319 --> 00:58:53.599
 gospel

00:58:53.599 --> 00:58:54.139
 in mind

00:58:54.139 --> 00:58:54.500
 this is

00:58:54.500 --> 00:58:54.960
 the aim

00:58:54.960 --> 00:58:55.480
 should be

00:58:55.480 --> 00:58:56.059
 the aim

00:58:56.059 --> 00:58:57.659
 of everything

00:58:57.659 --> 00:58:58.619
 and let me

00:58:58.619 --> 00:58:58.980
 close

00:58:58.980 --> 00:58:59.619
 just by

00:58:59.619 --> 00:58:59.980
 reading to

00:58:59.980 --> 00:59:00.299
 you again

00:59:00.299 --> 00:59:00.619
 what Jesus

00:59:00.619 --> 00:59:00.939
 said

00:59:00.939 --> 00:59:02.379
 recorded in

00:59:02.379 --> 00:59:02.899
 Mark 8

00:59:02.899 --> 00:59:03.419
 verse 34

00:59:03.419 --> 00:59:03.819
 if anyone

00:59:03.819 --> 00:59:04.159
 would come

00:59:04.159 --> 00:59:04.639
 after me

00:59:04.639 --> 00:59:06.039
 let him

00:59:06.039 --> 00:59:06.779
 deny himself

00:59:06.779 --> 00:59:07.659
 and take up

00:59:07.659 --> 00:59:08.139
 his cross

00:59:08.139 --> 00:59:10.159
 and follow

00:59:10.159 --> 00:59:10.419
 me

00:59:10.419 --> 00:59:11.779
 let's pray

00:59:11.779 --> 00:59:12.039
 together

00:59:12.039 --> 00:59:12.480
 let's

00:59:12.480 --> 00:59:12.480


00:59:12.480 --> 00:59:12.480


00:59:12.480 --> 00:59:12.480


00:59:12.480 --> 00:59:12.480


00:59:12.480 --> 00:59:12.480


00:59:12.480 --> 00:59:12.480


00:59:12.480 --> 00:59:12.480


00:59:12.480 --> 00:59:12.480


00:59:12.480 --> 00:59:12.480


00:59:12.480 --> 00:59:12.480


00:59:12.480 --> 00:59:12.480


00:59:12.480 --> 00:59:12.480


00:59:12.480 --> 00:59:12.480


00:59:12.480 --> 00:59:12.480
