00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.339
 We're reading from 2 Peter 3 verses 8 to 10.

00:00:04.980 --> 00:00:08.580
 Let's awaken our hearts and minds with the word of the Lord.

00:00:08.580 --> 00:00:38.560
 It says from verse 8.

00:00:38.579 --> 00:00:43.019
 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief.

00:00:43.859 --> 00:00:46.399
 The heavens will disappear with a roar.

00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:50.399
 The elements will be destroyed by fire.

00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:55.079
 And the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.

00:01:00.259 --> 00:01:06.019
 I just thought I'd read to you from Psalm 90 just a little bit.

00:01:08.579 --> 00:01:11.420
 It says from verse 3.

00:01:11.420 --> 00:01:18.540
 You turn people back to dust saying, return to dust you mortals.

00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:24.939
 A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by or like a watch in the night.

00:01:25.420 --> 00:01:28.060
 Yet you sweep people away in the sleep of death.

00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:30.299
 They are like the new grass of the morning.

00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:35.000
 In the morning it springs up new but by evening it's dry and withered.

00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:39.540
 And then I just want to read to you from the end of Malachi as well.

00:01:42.140 --> 00:01:43.599
 We're not going to do the whole Bible.

00:01:44.019 --> 00:01:46.219
 I'll just get to this bit here.

00:01:47.500 --> 00:01:52.099
 This is the penultimate and ultimate verse of the Old Testament.

00:01:52.099 --> 00:01:56.000
 Chapter 4 verse 5 and 6.

00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:16.580
 They're two really important bits of context.

00:02:17.420 --> 00:02:18.580
 What we're looking at here.

00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:19.180
 But why don't we pray?

00:02:19.259 --> 00:02:19.639
 Let's pray.

00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:27.000
 Gracious Lord and Heavenly Father, the powerful Creator and Judge, the Lord for whom a thousand years are like a day.

00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:33.299
 Father, we come before you as your creatures, as mortals who are like the grass of the field.

00:02:35.779 --> 00:02:37.199
 Entirely dependent upon you.

00:02:39.079 --> 00:02:42.819
 Father, we pray we'd understand our position as we look at your word now.

00:02:42.819 --> 00:02:50.259
 We pray, Lord, we listen well, that your spirit would indeed infuse your word in our hearts.

00:02:52.379 --> 00:02:54.019
 And we pray this in Jesus' name.

00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:54.479
 Amen.

00:02:56.439 --> 00:02:59.180
 It can be very difficult to tell someone they're fired.

00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:02.620
 I don't know if you've been in that position before in your life.

00:03:02.819 --> 00:03:06.900
 I want to say show of hands if you've had to sack somebody but I don't want to do that at the same time.

00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:08.740
 Oh, somebody's proud of it in the back row.

00:03:08.859 --> 00:03:09.159
 That's great.

00:03:09.459 --> 00:03:10.280
 No, I'm just kidding.

00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:12.599
 I say a lot of things I regret.

00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:13.280
 That'll be one of them.

00:03:13.640 --> 00:03:16.699
 Anyway, it can be difficult to tell someone they're fired.

00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:19.800
 I've had to do it, especially when you care about them.

00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:29.259
 Kath and I, we, I got like diagnosed with anxiety disorder when I was, just before I went to Bible college.

00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:35.300
 And one of the things that I worked out and helped me was watching mindless TV.

00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:38.560
 So it's medical.

00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:39.719
 That's why I do it.

00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:43.640
 Kath and I watched this show on Apple TV called Acapulco.

00:03:44.219 --> 00:03:45.919
 Show of hands if you've seen Acapulco.

00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:47.800
 All right.

00:03:47.920 --> 00:03:48.460
 That's good.

00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:51.819
 I don't know whether we watched it because we've watched every other thing on the internet.

00:03:51.979 --> 00:03:58.120
 But anyway, it's about a young bloke called Maximo who gets a dream job of managing the flashiest resort in Acapulco.

00:03:58.500 --> 00:03:59.659
 He's quite an endearing character.

00:03:59.659 --> 00:04:06.039
 One of the hardest things he has to do as this sweet, innocent young local guy is learn to fire his friends.

00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:14.639
 In particular, the resort bartender who's been giving free drinks to everybody just so he can get bigger tips from them.

00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:16.099
 It's a good strategy, right?

00:04:16.099 --> 00:04:17.339
 You give stuff away for free.

00:04:17.339 --> 00:04:18.379
 They tip you.

00:04:18.379 --> 00:04:19.560
 You make all the money.

00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:21.659
 Now, Maximo knew about this.

00:04:21.660 --> 00:04:26.520
 But the thing about this sweet guy is he just couldn't bring himself to sack him.

00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:34.039
 Even though he knew that his own job depended on it, he couldn't sack this guy who was slowly destroying the resort by his actions.

00:04:34.939 --> 00:04:35.899
 He loved him too much.

00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:39.859
 That's on Apple TV if you want to watch it.

00:04:39.919 --> 00:04:46.079
 Anyway, as we continue in this part of 2 Peter, we're going to see that God is incredibly patient with us.

00:04:46.159 --> 00:04:46.959
 He loves us.

00:04:48.599 --> 00:04:51.099
 He doesn't want anyone to perish.

00:04:51.100 --> 00:04:57.200
 He loves us more than Maximo loved his colleagues.

00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:00.000
 And that's great for us, right?

00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:02.500
 It's great for our neighbours.

00:05:02.640 --> 00:05:03.640
 It's great for our kids.

00:05:03.760 --> 00:05:05.020
 It's great for our friends.

00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:12.260
 It's great for the entirety of my extended family who haven't yet put their faith in Jesus.

00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:19.720
 But the difference between the Lord and Maximo, there are lots of differences.

00:05:21.100 --> 00:05:24.220
 The Lord won't let us rebel against him forever.

00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:33.840
 He is a God of perfect justice, which is bad for anyone who hasn't put their faith in him.

00:05:35.080 --> 00:05:38.500
 Now, there aren't many verses here, but they do tell us a lot.

00:05:38.700 --> 00:05:44.420
 So if you've got your Bibles open in any translation at 2 Peter 3, verse 8,

00:05:44.420 --> 00:05:49.120
 the first thing we're going to see here is God is patient.

00:05:49.400 --> 00:05:51.080
 He doesn't want anyone to perish.

00:05:51.980 --> 00:05:54.800
 This is such a beautiful part of the character of God.

00:05:55.460 --> 00:05:56.500
 All the parts are beautiful.

00:05:56.700 --> 00:05:57.620
 I love this.

00:05:58.560 --> 00:05:58.800
 It says,

00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:10.439
 Does that seem familiar to you at all?

00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:15.460
 In the first part of the passage, Peter explained that there will be a judgment day.

00:06:15.459 --> 00:06:20.439
 Remember, even though it was first talked about 800 years before 2 Peter was written,

00:06:21.359 --> 00:06:23.199
 God is going to do it.

00:06:24.159 --> 00:06:25.479
 Malachi spoke about it.

00:06:25.659 --> 00:06:29.899
 Even, you know, 400 years after it was first spoken about, Malachi spoke about it again.

00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:31.279
 God is going to do it.

00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:34.459
 The Lord is going to come and strike the land with total destruction.

00:06:34.579 --> 00:06:35.599
 They were Malachi's words.

00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:38.280
 And Peter said in the first part of this passage,

00:06:38.780 --> 00:06:42.300
 even though people will ridicule the idea of that ever happening, remember,

00:06:42.379 --> 00:06:43.300
 even though they'll mock it,

00:06:44.620 --> 00:06:46.260
 does God always do what he says?

00:06:46.960 --> 00:06:48.120
 Of course he does.

00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:51.780
 And here, Peter wants his readers to know

00:06:51.780 --> 00:06:55.260
 God's timescale is different to ours.

00:06:56.540 --> 00:06:58.660
 And he takes us to Psalm 90

00:06:58.660 --> 00:07:03.260
 to remind us that God's timescale is different to ours.

00:07:03.259 --> 00:07:08.800
 A thousand years in your sight are like a day, the psalmist sang.

00:07:10.139 --> 00:07:11.259
 The psalmist is saying,

00:07:11.860 --> 00:07:15.879
 the sheer majesty of God is incomprehensible for us.

00:07:17.039 --> 00:07:20.259
 We think 30, 40, 90 years is a long time.

00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:22.240
 It's nothing.

00:07:23.259 --> 00:07:25.779
 It's like the grass growing in the morning and withering in the evening

00:07:25.779 --> 00:07:28.699
 compared to the power and the majesty of God.

00:07:30.219 --> 00:07:32.620
 Time is, it's a different scale with him.

00:07:34.259 --> 00:07:37.459
 And Peter's referring to that here in order to say to his readers,

00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:39.959
 God's timing is different to our timing.

00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:43.980
 God's patience is different to our patience.

00:07:44.980 --> 00:07:46.039
 We don't get it.

00:07:46.659 --> 00:07:48.139
 We can't get our head around it.

00:07:49.019 --> 00:07:51.779
 I look around at the folly of the wisdom of the youth of my children

00:07:51.779 --> 00:07:53.680
 because I've lived so much longer than them.

00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:56.280
 What a fool, right?

00:07:57.500 --> 00:07:59.019
 Compared to our creator God

00:07:59.019 --> 00:08:02.300
 for whom a thousand years are like a day.

00:08:04.139 --> 00:08:05.939
 God's timing is not our timing.

00:08:06.740 --> 00:08:08.900
 But a key reason behind his timing in verse 9

00:08:08.900 --> 00:08:10.060
 is his patience.

00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:12.100
 He is patient.

00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:15.540
 He's not slow in keeping his promise to judge the wicked.

00:08:15.540 --> 00:08:17.240
 Instead, he's patient.

00:08:18.260 --> 00:08:23.939
 That instead, it's a contrastive conjunction, right?

00:08:24.340 --> 00:08:25.220
 It's strong.

00:08:25.840 --> 00:08:27.060
 It's a big but.

00:08:28.140 --> 00:08:29.360
 Don't be mistaken.

00:08:30.980 --> 00:08:33.420
 God is not slow in keeping his promises.

00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:35.259
 No, he's patient.

00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:37.139
 He's patient.

00:08:37.139 --> 00:08:39.659
 And this case, the reason he's being patient

00:08:39.659 --> 00:08:42.220
 is clearly stated in verse 9.

00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:46.059
 He doesn't desire that anyone should perish.

00:08:47.019 --> 00:08:48.480
 How good is that, right?

00:08:49.699 --> 00:08:52.299
 What sort of a God would create people just to destroy them?

00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:54.919
 Well, God doesn't desire.

00:08:56.259 --> 00:08:57.519
 What does God desire?

00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:00.039
 God doesn't desire that anyone should perish.

00:09:01.019 --> 00:09:03.340
 That is, he wants everyone to come to Jesus.

00:09:03.580 --> 00:09:05.240
 He wants everyone to come to repentance.

00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:08.180
 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise,

00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:09.600
 as some understand slowness.

00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:10.700
 Instead, but,

00:09:11.740 --> 00:09:14.600
 by contrast, he's patient with you.

00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:17.419
 Not wanting anyone to perish,

00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:19.899
 but everyone to come to repentance.

00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:21.940
 I love that about the character of God.

00:09:22.980 --> 00:09:24.779
 This is a refrain in the scriptures.

00:09:25.940 --> 00:09:28.060
 This is an important part of the character of God.

00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:29.440
 Did you know this about God?

00:09:30.379 --> 00:09:32.720
 It stands out like lights on a Christmas tree

00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:33.500
 in a dark night.

00:09:33.500 --> 00:09:37.179
 God's desire is for all to turn to him.

00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:39.919
 In 1 Timothy 2, verse 4,

00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:40.639
 Paul says,

00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:42.659
 God wants all people to be saved

00:09:42.659 --> 00:09:44.279
 and to come to a knowledge of the truth.

00:09:45.259 --> 00:09:46.460
 That's what God wants.

00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:48.399
 How good is that?

00:09:49.139 --> 00:09:50.379
 Twice in Ezekiel,

00:09:51.139 --> 00:09:53.059
 in a book that at times can be very angry,

00:09:54.019 --> 00:09:56.100
 in a book that reflects the justice of God,

00:09:56.100 --> 00:09:57.940
 God says,

00:09:58.259 --> 00:10:00.220
 I do not delight in the death of the wicked,

00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:03.240
 but I am pleased when they turn from their ways and live.

00:10:05.019 --> 00:10:06.259
 That's what God is like.

00:10:07.420 --> 00:10:08.680
 That's the God that we follow.

00:10:10.120 --> 00:10:11.080
 Now, to be clear,

00:10:12.100 --> 00:10:13.600
 and also a bit confusing,

00:10:14.220 --> 00:10:14.800
 and Kath said,

00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:15.680
 don't talk about this,

00:10:15.740 --> 00:10:16.279
 just go through,

00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:17.080
 it's a bit too distracting.

00:10:17.540 --> 00:10:18.000
 And I was like,

00:10:18.620 --> 00:10:20.000
 I'm going to talk about it.

00:10:21.160 --> 00:10:22.840
 The Bible is also clear

00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:25.320
 that it is only and entirely

00:10:25.320 --> 00:10:27.200
 by the decree of God

00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:28.860
 that anyone would turn and be saved.

00:10:30.220 --> 00:10:30.759
 Got it?

00:10:31.560 --> 00:10:32.860
 It's only and entirely

00:10:32.860 --> 00:10:34.020
 by the decree of God,

00:10:34.100 --> 00:10:34.639
 a D word,

00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:35.460
 decree of God,

00:10:35.520 --> 00:10:37.000
 that anyone would turn and be saved.

00:10:37.800 --> 00:10:39.280
 Yet, what's the other D word?

00:10:39.280 --> 00:10:40.920
 What's the desire of God

00:10:40.920 --> 00:10:43.420
 that everyone would be saved?

00:10:43.419 --> 00:10:47.379
 We believe that God is sovereign

00:10:47.379 --> 00:10:49.199
 over every part of salvation.

00:10:49.339 --> 00:10:50.819
 I watched an amazing 2 minute,

00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:51.639
 50 second video

00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:53.699
 by Pastor David Bott during the week,

00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:55.639
 and one of the distinctive characteristics

00:10:55.639 --> 00:10:57.379
 of Gracie Evangelical Church

00:10:57.379 --> 00:10:59.019
 is that we believe that God

00:10:59.019 --> 00:11:01.719
 is in charge of every part of salvation.

00:11:02.500 --> 00:11:03.120
 Absolutely.

00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:04.779
 God rules.

00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:06.000
 Okay?

00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:09.399
 God is sovereign over salvation.

00:11:09.539 --> 00:11:11.279
 The only reason anyone would turn to God

00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:13.000
 is if he decreed it.

00:11:13.419 --> 00:11:16.199
 And we take comfort in that great truth,

00:11:17.199 --> 00:11:19.559
 knowing that if we are a believer,

00:11:20.339 --> 00:11:21.139
 praise the Lord,

00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:22.459
 he's done it for us.

00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:23.159
 It's great.

00:11:23.479 --> 00:11:24.539
 Every aspect of it.

00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:28.259
 But while we hold that truth firmly,

00:11:29.259 --> 00:11:32.079
 like one track on a rail,

00:11:32.419 --> 00:11:34.719
 we hold the other truth firmly,

00:11:34.779 --> 00:11:35.839
 like the other rail.

00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:38.839
 That while God might decree

00:11:38.839 --> 00:11:40.439
 who is and isn't saved,

00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:42.140
 his desire,

00:11:43.140 --> 00:11:45.560
 as unquestionably expressed in the Scriptures,

00:11:45.560 --> 00:11:49.060
 is that all would turn to him.

00:11:49.900 --> 00:11:51.340
 Is that all would turn

00:11:51.340 --> 00:11:52.820
 and put their faith in Jesus.

00:11:53.180 --> 00:11:54.660
 That everyone would come to repentance.

00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:58.360
 We don't try and force those two rails together,

00:11:58.420 --> 00:11:58.760
 do we?

00:11:59.280 --> 00:12:01.280
 Because we don't want to crash the truth train,

00:12:01.420 --> 00:12:01.660
 right?

00:12:01.659 --> 00:12:04.120
 But God's decree

00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:06.159
 is what saves us.

00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:07.799
 Yet his desire

00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:10.639
 is expressed in his patience.

00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:12.240
 And that is that he doesn't want

00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:13.259
 any to perish,

00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:15.379
 but everyone to come to repentance

00:12:15.379 --> 00:12:17.819
 and to believe in Jesus.

00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:18.919
 Peter says,

00:12:18.980 --> 00:12:20.399
 this is why the day of the Lord hasn't come yet.

00:12:20.500 --> 00:12:21.279
 God is patient.

00:12:23.439 --> 00:12:24.399
 Are you patient?

00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:27.939
 And sometimes,

00:12:28.899 --> 00:12:31.299
 I had red hair at some stage in my life,

00:12:31.340 --> 00:12:33.939
 a bit like Robert used to have blonde curly hair.

00:12:34.439 --> 00:12:35.799
 I used to have red hair.

00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:40.259
 And I was not very patient as a child at all.

00:12:40.740 --> 00:12:42.799
 And I've gotten better as I've gotten older.

00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:46.620
 Sometimes I might make a loose threat to my kids.

00:12:47.159 --> 00:12:47.919
 I'll say to them,

00:12:48.319 --> 00:12:48.840
 look mate,

00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:50.799
 this is the third time

00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:52.539
 I've asked you to get off your phone

00:12:52.539 --> 00:12:54.059
 and go and clean up the kitchen.

00:12:54.459 --> 00:12:55.839
 You've made a massive mess in there.

00:12:56.500 --> 00:12:58.000
 And if you don't do it,

00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:00.439
 I'm taking your phone off you

00:13:00.439 --> 00:13:01.539
 for a month.

00:13:02.599 --> 00:13:04.360
 Because I'm losing my patience, right?

00:13:04.819 --> 00:13:07.759
 And so I just throw this big month out there

00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:09.399
 of my kids not having any screen time,

00:13:09.579 --> 00:13:10.819
 which I will suffer for.

00:13:11.439 --> 00:13:12.099
 For them,

00:13:12.860 --> 00:13:15.019
 that is akin to condemnation.

00:13:15.620 --> 00:13:16.779
 I may as well be damning them

00:13:16.779 --> 00:13:18.199
 to the corner of hell in their mind

00:13:18.199 --> 00:13:19.459
 by taking their phone off them.

00:13:19.959 --> 00:13:20.339
 You know what?

00:13:20.379 --> 00:13:21.659
 I don't actually want to do it.

00:13:21.659 --> 00:13:23.399
 The reason I'm saying that to them,

00:13:23.459 --> 00:13:24.219
 the reason I'm saying,

00:13:24.319 --> 00:13:25.379
 I'll take your phone off you,

00:13:25.579 --> 00:13:28.219
 isn't because I'm some sort of nasty overlord

00:13:28.219 --> 00:13:30.379
 who delights in seeing them without screens.

00:13:31.059 --> 00:13:31.279
 No,

00:13:31.379 --> 00:13:33.360
 I actually just want them to delight

00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:34.919
 in cleaning up after themselves.

00:13:35.579 --> 00:13:37.980
 I want them to learn to have servant hearts.

00:13:38.539 --> 00:13:38.939
 And so,

00:13:39.379 --> 00:13:40.719
 I just,

00:13:40.919 --> 00:13:41.579
 I'm patient.

00:13:41.779 --> 00:13:42.980
 Before I inflict the punishment,

00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:44.980
 I let a bit of time pass.

00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:47.139
 But,

00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:50.220
 my patience is not a thousand years.

00:13:50.220 --> 00:13:53.940
 I reckon I've got about 45 minutes up my sleeve.

00:13:56.180 --> 00:13:57.700
 God is not like that.

00:13:59.060 --> 00:14:00.779
 He is so patient.

00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:05.160
 And his patience is driven by his desire

00:14:05.160 --> 00:14:07.860
 that none should perish.

00:14:09.139 --> 00:14:12.060
 You think about God in the history of the Old Testament.

00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:15.620
 He's been patient with humanity from the beginning.

00:14:15.620 --> 00:14:17.779
 You may not remember this,

00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:20.659
 but what did he say to the first humans

00:14:20.659 --> 00:14:21.879
 would happen if they sin?

00:14:22.980 --> 00:14:23.879
 You'll die.

00:14:25.620 --> 00:14:27.340
 Yet they ate the fruit.

00:14:28.500 --> 00:14:29.700
 And did they die?

00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:31.539
 Well,

00:14:31.539 --> 00:14:31.700
 yes,

00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:32.240
 they did.

00:14:32.480 --> 00:14:35.080
 Because God always does what God says he will do,

00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:35.399
 right?

00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:37.620
 But was he patient with them?

00:14:38.379 --> 00:14:39.560
 Absolutely he was.

00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:41.480
 They lived for hundreds of years,

00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:43.039
 over which time he clothed them,

00:14:43.259 --> 00:14:43.840
 he fed them,

00:14:43.899 --> 00:14:44.779
 he gave them descendants.

00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:47.379
 God's patience,

00:14:47.740 --> 00:14:49.019
 it's been there from the beginning.

00:14:50.220 --> 00:14:52.100
 He waited thousands of years for humanity

00:14:52.100 --> 00:14:53.639
 to listen to his word through the prophets.

00:14:53.980 --> 00:14:55.820
 There's a beautiful part in Romans

00:14:55.820 --> 00:14:56.740
 where it says,

00:14:57.120 --> 00:14:59.899
 I held out my hand all day long to you.

00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:02.480
 God is so patient.

00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:04.879
 He demonstrated his patience

00:15:04.879 --> 00:15:05.980
 by withholding his judgment,

00:15:06.379 --> 00:15:08.519
 by sending his son to bear his judgment

00:15:08.519 --> 00:15:09.539
 on our sin.

00:15:09.539 --> 00:15:12.939
 Jesus is God's final act of patience towards us.

00:15:13.539 --> 00:15:14.179
 How great,

00:15:14.299 --> 00:15:14.519
 right?

00:15:15.339 --> 00:15:16.860
 You want to know if God is patient?

00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:19.120
 After thousands of years of rebellion,

00:15:19.240 --> 00:15:20.159
 he sends his son

00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:23.719
 to hold out an offer of salvation to us one more time.

00:15:25.599 --> 00:15:29.639
 God is patiently holding the offer of forgiveness out right now

00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:32.299
 to sinners.

00:15:33.659 --> 00:15:34.659
 Like me,

00:15:34.819 --> 00:15:35.319
 like you,

00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:35.919
 our neighbors,

00:15:36.099 --> 00:15:36.839
 our colleagues.

00:15:37.959 --> 00:15:39.259
 One last offer.

00:15:40.019 --> 00:15:41.120
 God's final word.

00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:44.740
 This is why we're here today.

00:15:46.179 --> 00:15:47.759
 This is why I'm in Bathurst

00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:50.059
 and you're in Newcastle

00:15:50.059 --> 00:15:51.899
 or the greater Newcastle region.

00:15:53.480 --> 00:15:54.699
 God's left us here

00:15:54.699 --> 00:15:55.659
 because he's patient.

00:15:56.740 --> 00:15:57.500
 He doesn't want

00:15:57.500 --> 00:15:58.759
 our families,

00:15:59.099 --> 00:15:59.639
 our neighbors,

00:15:59.839 --> 00:16:00.579
 our classmates,

00:16:01.099 --> 00:16:02.159
 our colleagues to perish.

00:16:02.459 --> 00:16:03.959
 There's this beautiful part in Matthew's gospel.

00:16:04.059 --> 00:16:05.459
 We're looking at Matthew next term in church

00:16:05.460 --> 00:16:06.780
 and there's this beautiful part

00:16:06.780 --> 00:16:08.300
 where Jesus looks around at the crowd

00:16:08.300 --> 00:16:11.259
 and it says that he sees that they're harassed and helpless

00:16:11.259 --> 00:16:12.480
 like sheep without a shepherd.

00:16:12.740 --> 00:16:14.019
 And how does he feel towards them?

00:16:14.220 --> 00:16:15.660
 He has compassion on them.

00:16:17.080 --> 00:16:19.259
 That's the character of God for our world.

00:16:19.259 --> 00:16:24.279
 God's left us here among these harassed and helpless people

00:16:24.279 --> 00:16:27.100
 and if we're part of his church,

00:16:27.179 --> 00:16:30.319
 he's left us here to help these people come to a knowledge of truth about Jesus.

00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:34.040
 Is that how you understand

00:16:34.040 --> 00:16:36.420
 why you are where you are?

00:16:37.680 --> 00:16:40.360
 Why you're in the number of the house that you're in?

00:16:40.420 --> 00:16:42.000
 Why you're in 22 White Street?

00:16:43.240 --> 00:16:45.700
 Why you're doing first year electrical engineering?

00:16:47.540 --> 00:16:50.120
 Do you understand that you are where you are

00:16:50.120 --> 00:16:51.800
 as a member of the people of God

00:16:51.800 --> 00:16:52.860
 because God is patient

00:16:52.860 --> 00:16:54.760
 and he doesn't want any to perish?

00:16:55.020 --> 00:16:56.200
 He's placed you there

00:16:56.200 --> 00:16:58.440
 that you might witness to his character,

00:16:58.440 --> 00:17:01.420
 that you might share the good news of the Lord Jesus Christ

00:17:01.420 --> 00:17:02.680
 and that your neighbours,

00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:04.539
 your colleagues,

00:17:04.660 --> 00:17:05.240
 your classmates,

00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:07.660
 your friends,

00:17:08.320 --> 00:17:09.360
 your children,

00:17:09.539 --> 00:17:10.120
 your parents,

00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:14.180
 they might somehow see your good deeds

00:17:14.180 --> 00:17:15.600
 or hear the gospel

00:17:15.600 --> 00:17:17.180
 and turn and glorify God

00:17:17.180 --> 00:17:18.620
 on the day that he comes to visit us.

00:17:19.519 --> 00:17:20.720
 That's God's plan.

00:17:21.620 --> 00:17:22.360
 You're a plant

00:17:22.360 --> 00:17:25.259
 in whatever context you're in.

00:17:26.360 --> 00:17:28.180
 You might have think that you moved to Newcastle

00:17:28.180 --> 00:17:28.820
 for family

00:17:28.820 --> 00:17:31.380
 and you might have think you moved there to study

00:17:31.380 --> 00:17:33.120
 or for friends

00:17:33.120 --> 00:17:34.039
 or for a relationship

00:17:34.039 --> 00:17:34.980
 or for a job

00:17:34.980 --> 00:17:36.299
 for the career.

00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:37.080
 Wrong.

00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:40.720
 You are there because God is patient

00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:42.740
 and he does not want the people of Newcastle to perish.

00:17:44.500 --> 00:17:46.660
 He's decreed that some people in that city

00:17:46.660 --> 00:17:49.100
 might come to know the Lord Jesus Christ

00:17:49.100 --> 00:17:51.840
 and you are part of his plan.

00:17:53.320 --> 00:17:55.440
 You're an expression of the patience of God.

00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:55.500
 God.

00:17:57.140 --> 00:17:58.120
 That's our purpose.

00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:01.539
 Do you talk to people about Jesus?

00:18:03.220 --> 00:18:04.740
 How do you live out your purpose?

00:18:06.360 --> 00:18:06.720
 Maybe

00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:09.160
 you might invite people to church.

00:18:11.580 --> 00:18:13.519
 Maybe you try to live a godly life around them.

00:18:14.779 --> 00:18:16.120
 Maybe God's blessed you with children

00:18:16.120 --> 00:18:17.180
 and you think to yourself,

00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:17.660
 well,

00:18:18.080 --> 00:18:19.320
 God's given me these kids

00:18:19.320 --> 00:18:21.440
 in order that I might reveal his character to them

00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:23.100
 so I'm going to try and read the word with them.

00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:25.199
 I'm going to try and point them towards Jesus

00:18:25.199 --> 00:18:26.719
 and when they get older and rebel,

00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:27.699
 I'm going to pray for them.

00:18:31.459 --> 00:18:32.919
 If we understand our purpose,

00:18:33.019 --> 00:18:34.659
 if we understand the character of God,

00:18:35.939 --> 00:18:37.659
 if we understand the heart of God,

00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:42.439
 it reshapes how we act in our circumstances.

00:18:43.480 --> 00:18:45.899
 If I'm at work to be a witness,

00:18:46.539 --> 00:18:48.559
 there are things I just don't do.

00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:50.200
 You know,

00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:50.839
 I was an accountant.

00:18:51.399 --> 00:18:53.059
 I became a Christian while I was an accountant.

00:18:53.859 --> 00:18:56.019
 I know that my clients were interested in earning

00:18:56.019 --> 00:18:57.720
 and saving as much money as they could.

00:18:58.720 --> 00:18:59.700
 Before I was a Christian,

00:18:59.779 --> 00:19:02.299
 the way that I acted in order to make that happen for them,

00:19:03.259 --> 00:19:03.779
 well,

00:19:03.819 --> 00:19:05.179
 it had to change when I became a Christian

00:19:05.179 --> 00:19:08.559
 because I'm trying to witness to them.

00:19:09.659 --> 00:19:11.179
 When I'm getting out of my car

00:19:11.179 --> 00:19:12.480
 after the commute,

00:19:13.460 --> 00:19:15.119
 I've got to drive about three and a half minutes

00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:16.619
 to get home from church.

00:19:19.839 --> 00:19:22.139
 It's very easy for me not to want to talk to my neighbour.

00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:24.059
 Jeff is the guy that I usually see.

00:19:24.119 --> 00:19:24.839
 He's on the top side

00:19:24.839 --> 00:19:26.579
 where the fence doesn't extend all the way to the front.

00:19:27.539 --> 00:19:28.379
 And I'll see him there

00:19:28.379 --> 00:19:30.379
 and sometimes I've had a bit of an intense day.

00:19:31.139 --> 00:19:33.119
 I'll just wait a few seconds in the car

00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:34.739
 hoping that Jeff goes inside

00:19:34.739 --> 00:19:37.279
 or then I'll get out

00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:38.859
 and I'll just turn.

00:19:38.859 --> 00:19:45.219
 That's not why I'm in 22 Rosemont Avenue.

00:19:46.899 --> 00:19:48.500
 I'm not there to avoid people.

00:19:50.079 --> 00:19:51.939
 God actually doesn't want Jeff to perish.

00:19:53.619 --> 00:19:56.439
 He's actually placed me in my house.

00:19:56.519 --> 00:19:57.759
 Forget about my job at church.

00:19:57.859 --> 00:19:59.879
 He's placed me in my house to witness to Jeff.

00:20:00.779 --> 00:20:03.359
 It's possible Jeff has some Christian family member somewhere

00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:06.219
 who's praying that God might put somebody in Jeff's life

00:20:06.219 --> 00:20:07.500
 who could bear witness to him

00:20:07.500 --> 00:20:10.799
 and here's this dog skiving off from his car after work

00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:11.980
 trying to avoid Jeff.

00:20:13.960 --> 00:20:15.420
 God doesn't want Jeff to perish.

00:20:18.339 --> 00:20:21.599
 Our purpose is to live out God's character

00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:24.380
 in the context of our ordinary lives.

00:20:25.980 --> 00:20:27.259
 Did you realise that?

00:20:28.180 --> 00:20:30.900
 That you are not put on earth to avoid people

00:20:30.900 --> 00:20:32.660
 and get on with life.

00:20:33.779 --> 00:20:35.700
 The reason you are still here

00:20:35.700 --> 00:20:38.380
 is because God is patient.

00:20:39.100 --> 00:20:40.519
 He doesn't want anyone to perish

00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:42.620
 but everyone to turn in repentance

00:20:42.620 --> 00:20:43.960
 to the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:47.759
 We're still here because that is what God is like.

00:20:49.420 --> 00:20:51.080
 But God is also just.

00:20:53.620 --> 00:20:55.620
 And he will expose everything.

00:20:57.660 --> 00:20:58.740
 Read from verse 10.

00:20:58.740 --> 00:21:04.900
 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief.

00:21:06.099 --> 00:21:08.000
 The heavens will disappear with a roar.

00:21:08.120 --> 00:21:10.039
 The elements will be destroyed by fire

00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:12.900
 and the earth and everything done in it

00:21:12.900 --> 00:21:14.259
 will be laid bare.

00:21:14.259 --> 00:21:18.599
 While God cares deeply about the creatures

00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:20.059
 he breathed life into

00:21:20.059 --> 00:21:22.440
 he is just

00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:25.680
 and as the end of verse 10 says

00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:28.539
 the earth and its deeds

00:21:28.539 --> 00:21:29.660
 will be exposed

00:21:29.660 --> 00:21:31.400
 before the judge.

00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:36.119
 Or as Romans 14.12 says

00:21:36.119 --> 00:21:38.140
 each of us will give an account

00:21:38.140 --> 00:21:40.019
 of him or herself to God.

00:21:40.019 --> 00:21:43.900
 Or as Hebrews 9.27 says

00:21:43.900 --> 00:21:47.240
 it's destined for man to die once

00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:50.240
 and after that comes judgment.

00:21:51.319 --> 00:21:54.200
 Or as Hebrews 4.13 says

00:21:54.200 --> 00:21:57.299
 no creature is hidden from his sight

00:21:57.299 --> 00:22:00.319
 but all are naked and exposed

00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:01.759
 to the eyes of him

00:22:01.759 --> 00:22:04.420
 to whom we must give account.

00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:08.319
 What a terrifying prospect, right?

00:22:08.319 --> 00:22:12.319
 No one will escape

00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:14.439
 the justice of God.

00:22:14.579 --> 00:22:15.759
 It makes sense.

00:22:17.399 --> 00:22:19.240
 Like if there is a creator God

00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:22.599
 and it wasn't just a trivial flick of his

00:22:22.599 --> 00:22:23.740
 you know he doesn't have

00:22:23.740 --> 00:22:25.220
 like he's not just easily bored

00:22:25.220 --> 00:22:26.359
 and so he decided to create the world.

00:22:26.700 --> 00:22:27.379
 If there's a creator God

00:22:27.379 --> 00:22:28.899
 who actually cares about his creation

00:22:28.899 --> 00:22:30.579
 who created us for a purpose

00:22:30.579 --> 00:22:32.179
 of course he's going to hold us

00:22:32.179 --> 00:22:33.200
 to account for how we live.

00:22:33.779 --> 00:22:34.019
 It just

00:22:34.019 --> 00:22:36.179
 it doesn't make sense any other way.

00:22:36.180 --> 00:22:39.440
 No one will escape

00:22:39.440 --> 00:22:40.580
 the justice of God.

00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:42.940
 He can't let our rebellion

00:22:42.940 --> 00:22:44.220
 against him last forever.

00:22:45.539 --> 00:22:47.820
 On the great and terrible day

00:22:47.820 --> 00:22:49.160
 as Malachi calls it

00:22:49.160 --> 00:22:49.920
 that he comes

00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:52.340
 it seems like the old creation

00:22:52.340 --> 00:22:53.539
 will be done away with

00:22:53.539 --> 00:22:55.060
 and the new will come.

00:22:56.519 --> 00:22:57.860
 Whether it's a renovation

00:22:57.860 --> 00:22:59.940
 or a replacement

00:22:59.940 --> 00:23:02.360
 you guys can talk about that

00:23:02.360 --> 00:23:03.080
 over morning tea.

00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:06.000
 But the destruction

00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:07.399
 of the very fabric

00:23:07.399 --> 00:23:08.679
 of the old order

00:23:08.679 --> 00:23:11.000
 is a sure thing.

00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:13.899
 Its constituent parts

00:23:13.899 --> 00:23:15.480
 will be laid bare.

00:23:16.139 --> 00:23:16.980
 That's the thrust

00:23:16.980 --> 00:23:18.240
 of what this passage is saying.

00:23:19.579 --> 00:23:21.199
 This is what the Bible teaches

00:23:21.199 --> 00:23:24.059
 and this is what Christians believe

00:23:24.059 --> 00:23:24.740
 that each of us

00:23:24.740 --> 00:23:25.960
 will face the justice of God

00:23:25.960 --> 00:23:28.079
 and none can escape that day.

00:23:28.819 --> 00:23:30.319
 We won't even have our clothing

00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:31.379
 to hide behind.

00:23:31.380 --> 00:23:32.480
 We'll be exposed

00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:33.640
 and laid bare.

00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:34.500
 That grace

00:23:34.500 --> 00:23:35.740
 that God first showed

00:23:35.740 --> 00:23:36.300
 Adam and Eve

00:23:36.300 --> 00:23:36.980
 in the garden

00:23:36.980 --> 00:23:38.340
 we will be exposed

00:23:38.340 --> 00:23:39.020
 completely

00:23:39.020 --> 00:23:41.320
 before our God.

00:23:43.660 --> 00:23:44.560
 We don't know

00:23:44.560 --> 00:23:45.560
 when it's going to come.

00:23:46.540 --> 00:23:47.420
 It'll be like a thief

00:23:47.420 --> 00:23:48.020
 in the night.

00:23:49.640 --> 00:23:50.120
 Unexpectedly

00:23:50.120 --> 00:23:51.120
 we'll find ourselves

00:23:51.120 --> 00:23:52.100
 before our creator

00:23:52.100 --> 00:23:53.260
 on that great

00:23:53.260 --> 00:23:54.180
 and terrible day.

00:23:56.660 --> 00:23:57.460
 We sold

00:23:57.460 --> 00:23:58.360
 our family farm

00:23:58.360 --> 00:23:58.820
 recently.

00:23:58.819 --> 00:24:00.059
 It's been in our family

00:24:00.059 --> 00:24:01.399
 since European settlement.

00:24:03.519 --> 00:24:05.240
 I have so many memories

00:24:05.240 --> 00:24:05.819
 there.

00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:08.279
 It's basically

00:24:08.279 --> 00:24:09.819
 like my dad was in the bank

00:24:09.819 --> 00:24:10.639
 when I was growing up

00:24:10.639 --> 00:24:11.379
 so we moved around

00:24:11.379 --> 00:24:12.039
 a whole stack

00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:13.099
 but that farm

00:24:13.099 --> 00:24:14.059
 was my real home.

00:24:15.939 --> 00:24:16.339
 Recently

00:24:16.339 --> 00:24:17.059
 the new owners

00:24:17.059 --> 00:24:17.799
 bulldozed

00:24:17.799 --> 00:24:19.159
 the original farmhouse.

00:24:20.200 --> 00:24:20.480
 Yeah.

00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:21.279
 Well

00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:22.299
 actually it's not the original

00:24:22.299 --> 00:24:22.939
 but it's the one

00:24:22.939 --> 00:24:23.599
 that I grew up

00:24:23.599 --> 00:24:25.000
 in and around

00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:26.299
 because the original one

00:24:26.299 --> 00:24:26.879
 is still there

00:24:26.879 --> 00:24:27.539
 but it's not fit

00:24:27.539 --> 00:24:28.220
 for habitation.

00:24:30.220 --> 00:24:31.319
 But the one they bulldozed

00:24:31.319 --> 00:24:32.500
 is 130 years old.

00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:34.519
 There's literally

00:24:34.519 --> 00:24:35.940
 no sign of it anymore.

00:24:36.059 --> 00:24:36.599
 I was down visiting

00:24:36.599 --> 00:24:37.700
 my mum last week.

00:24:37.740 --> 00:24:38.220
 It's the first time

00:24:38.220 --> 00:24:38.700
 I've been there

00:24:38.700 --> 00:24:39.279
 since it's happened

00:24:39.279 --> 00:24:40.619
 and yeah

00:24:40.619 --> 00:24:41.519
 there's no sign

00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:42.460
 of it anymore.

00:24:43.419 --> 00:24:44.319
 And it's heartbreaking

00:24:44.319 --> 00:24:45.700
 to go and see

00:24:45.700 --> 00:24:46.379
 something that was

00:24:46.379 --> 00:24:47.079
 so huge

00:24:47.079 --> 00:24:47.740
 and so important

00:24:47.740 --> 00:24:48.220
 and filled with

00:24:48.220 --> 00:24:48.940
 so many memories

00:24:48.940 --> 00:24:51.059
 and it's gone.

00:24:51.059 --> 00:24:55.839
 how much more

00:24:55.839 --> 00:24:57.859
 the destruction

00:24:57.859 --> 00:24:58.500
 that awaits

00:24:58.500 --> 00:24:59.000
 the heavens

00:24:59.000 --> 00:24:59.639
 and the earth.

00:25:02.179 --> 00:25:03.119
 You think about

00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:03.659
 the beauty

00:25:03.659 --> 00:25:04.619
 and the love

00:25:04.619 --> 00:25:06.799
 the experiences

00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:07.359
 you've had

00:25:07.359 --> 00:25:10.679
 the marred image

00:25:10.679 --> 00:25:11.079
 of God

00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:11.519
 but the image

00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:11.859
 of God

00:25:11.859 --> 00:25:12.240
 nonetheless

00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:12.980
 in your neighbours

00:25:12.980 --> 00:25:13.460
 and friends

00:25:13.460 --> 00:25:14.099
 and colleagues.

00:25:16.700 --> 00:25:17.859
 One day

00:25:17.859 --> 00:25:19.279
 the Lord

00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:19.700
 will come

00:25:19.700 --> 00:25:20.359
 like a thief

00:25:20.359 --> 00:25:23.039
 and all of it

00:25:23.039 --> 00:25:24.740
 will be exposed.

00:25:26.139 --> 00:25:26.579
 The heavens

00:25:26.579 --> 00:25:27.219
 will disappear

00:25:27.219 --> 00:25:28.599
 the elements

00:25:28.599 --> 00:25:29.339
 will be destroyed

00:25:29.339 --> 00:25:30.839
 the earth

00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:31.599
 and everything

00:25:31.599 --> 00:25:32.439
 in it

00:25:32.439 --> 00:25:34.679
 everything done

00:25:34.679 --> 00:25:35.039
 in it

00:25:35.039 --> 00:25:36.919
 will be laid bare.

00:25:38.779 --> 00:25:39.659
 This is

00:25:39.659 --> 00:25:40.500
 our conviction

00:25:40.500 --> 00:25:41.000
 as followers

00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:41.519
 of Jesus.

00:25:44.079 --> 00:25:44.959
 Because we're

00:25:44.959 --> 00:25:45.539
 aware of the

00:25:45.539 --> 00:25:46.299
 unpredictability

00:25:46.299 --> 00:25:48.539
 and inescapability

00:25:48.539 --> 00:25:49.199
 of that great

00:25:49.199 --> 00:25:50.039
 and terrible day

00:25:50.039 --> 00:25:52.440
 it ought to

00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:53.139
 become urgent

00:25:53.139 --> 00:25:53.879
 for us

00:25:53.879 --> 00:25:55.059
 to engage

00:25:55.059 --> 00:25:55.319
 with our

00:25:55.319 --> 00:25:55.740
 friends and

00:25:55.740 --> 00:25:56.180
 family

00:25:56.180 --> 00:25:58.019
 our neighbours

00:25:58.019 --> 00:25:58.319
 and our

00:25:58.319 --> 00:25:58.879
 colleagues

00:25:58.879 --> 00:26:00.200
 our world

00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:04.079
 how much

00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:04.519
 more

00:26:04.519 --> 00:26:05.779
 important

00:26:05.779 --> 00:26:06.139
 is it

00:26:06.139 --> 00:26:06.720
 for us

00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:07.940
 than any

00:26:07.940 --> 00:26:08.559
 other thing

00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:09.059
 knowing that

00:26:09.059 --> 00:26:09.359
 it could

00:26:09.359 --> 00:26:09.740
 come at

00:26:09.740 --> 00:26:10.440
 any time.

00:26:10.440 --> 00:26:11.059
 people

00:26:11.059 --> 00:26:13.740
 know

00:26:13.740 --> 00:26:14.100
 in order

00:26:14.100 --> 00:26:14.640
 to apply

00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:14.900
 this

00:26:14.900 --> 00:26:15.320
 stuff

00:26:15.320 --> 00:26:16.920
 you

00:26:16.920 --> 00:26:17.140
 actually

00:26:17.140 --> 00:26:17.340
 have

00:26:17.340 --> 00:26:17.460
 to

00:26:17.460 --> 00:26:17.740
 believe

00:26:17.740 --> 00:26:17.920
 it

00:26:17.920 --> 00:26:20.200
 so

00:26:20.200 --> 00:26:20.860
 the

00:26:20.860 --> 00:26:21.100
 first

00:26:21.100 --> 00:26:21.400
 question

00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:21.660
 I have

00:26:21.660 --> 00:26:22.120
 to ask

00:26:22.120 --> 00:26:22.420
 is

00:26:22.420 --> 00:26:22.960
 do you

00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:23.299
 believe

00:26:23.299 --> 00:26:23.680
 this

00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:25.360
 do you

00:26:25.360 --> 00:26:25.640
 accept

00:26:25.640 --> 00:26:25.860
 this

00:26:25.860 --> 00:26:26.039
 as

00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:26.340
 true

00:26:26.340 --> 00:26:27.400
 do you

00:26:27.400 --> 00:26:27.600
 actually

00:26:27.600 --> 00:26:27.920
 believe

00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:28.180
 a day

00:26:28.180 --> 00:26:28.400
 like

00:26:28.400 --> 00:26:28.580
 this

00:26:28.580 --> 00:26:28.700
 is

00:26:28.700 --> 00:26:28.980
 coming

00:26:28.980 --> 00:26:33.259
 if you

00:26:33.259 --> 00:26:33.579
 do

00:26:33.579 --> 00:26:34.819
 it's

00:26:34.819 --> 00:26:35.140
 big

00:26:35.140 --> 00:26:36.900
 you

00:26:36.900 --> 00:26:37.120
 probably

00:26:37.120 --> 00:26:37.319
 heard

00:26:37.319 --> 00:26:37.599
 this

00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:38.539
 preacher's

00:26:38.539 --> 00:26:39.019
 illustration

00:26:39.019 --> 00:26:39.599
 before

00:26:39.599 --> 00:26:40.500
 if you

00:26:40.500 --> 00:26:40.839
 knew a

00:26:40.839 --> 00:26:41.259
 long-range

00:26:41.259 --> 00:26:41.819
 missile was

00:26:41.819 --> 00:26:42.440
 coming towards

00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:42.900
 your neighbour

00:26:42.900 --> 00:26:43.599
 and you

00:26:43.599 --> 00:26:44.120
 didn't warn

00:26:44.120 --> 00:26:44.640
 them or tell

00:26:44.640 --> 00:26:44.920
 them to

00:26:44.920 --> 00:26:45.380
 escape

00:26:45.380 --> 00:26:46.039
 what sort

00:26:46.039 --> 00:26:46.200
 of a

00:26:46.200 --> 00:26:46.380
 neighbour

00:26:46.380 --> 00:26:46.680
 would you

00:26:46.680 --> 00:26:46.900
 be

00:26:46.900 --> 00:26:47.220
 right

00:26:47.220 --> 00:26:50.380
 it makes

00:26:50.380 --> 00:26:50.920
 sense

00:26:50.920 --> 00:26:52.279
 that if we

00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:52.740
 know the

00:26:52.740 --> 00:26:53.180
 great and

00:26:53.180 --> 00:26:53.720
 terrible day

00:26:53.720 --> 00:26:53.960
 of the

00:26:53.960 --> 00:26:54.319
 Lord is

00:26:54.319 --> 00:26:54.620
 coming

00:26:54.620 --> 00:26:54.940
 like a

00:26:54.940 --> 00:26:55.259
 thief in

00:26:55.259 --> 00:26:55.380
 the

00:26:55.380 --> 00:26:55.620
 night

00:26:55.619 --> 00:26:56.199
 that we

00:26:56.199 --> 00:26:56.379
 would

00:26:56.379 --> 00:26:57.019
 prioritise

00:26:57.019 --> 00:26:57.619
 evangelism

00:26:57.619 --> 00:27:00.239
 God

00:27:00.239 --> 00:27:00.739
 hasn't

00:27:00.739 --> 00:27:01.279
 left us

00:27:01.279 --> 00:27:01.679
 here

00:27:01.679 --> 00:27:03.839
 to

00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:04.139
 perfect

00:27:04.139 --> 00:27:04.559
 the art

00:27:04.559 --> 00:27:04.779
 of the

00:27:04.779 --> 00:27:05.079
 Lord's

00:27:05.079 --> 00:27:05.299
 supper

00:27:05.299 --> 00:27:08.179
 God

00:27:08.179 --> 00:27:08.439
 hasn't

00:27:08.439 --> 00:27:08.799
 left us

00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:09.079
 here

00:27:09.079 --> 00:27:09.699
 to nail

00:27:09.699 --> 00:27:10.699
 AGMs

00:27:10.699 --> 00:27:13.359
 God

00:27:13.359 --> 00:27:13.619
 hasn't

00:27:13.619 --> 00:27:13.919
 left us

00:27:13.919 --> 00:27:14.039
 here

00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:14.179
 to

00:27:14.179 --> 00:27:14.459
 finally

00:27:14.459 --> 00:27:14.759
 sort

00:27:14.759 --> 00:27:14.919
 out

00:27:14.919 --> 00:27:15.139
 which

00:27:15.139 --> 00:27:15.500
 version

00:27:15.500 --> 00:27:15.619
 of

00:27:15.619 --> 00:27:15.739
 be

00:27:15.739 --> 00:27:15.899
 thou

00:27:15.899 --> 00:27:16.059
 my

00:27:16.059 --> 00:27:16.319
 vision

00:27:16.319 --> 00:27:16.500
 we're

00:27:16.500 --> 00:27:16.619
 going

00:27:16.619 --> 00:27:16.759
 to

00:27:16.759 --> 00:27:17.000
 sing

00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:18.559
 it's

00:27:18.559 --> 00:27:18.699
 the

00:27:18.699 --> 00:27:19.000
 Lord's

00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:19.179
 prayer

00:27:19.179 --> 00:27:19.339
 of

00:27:19.339 --> 00:27:19.619
 songs

00:27:19.619 --> 00:27:19.799
 isn't

00:27:19.799 --> 00:27:19.879
 it

00:27:19.879 --> 00:27:20.019
 we've

00:27:20.019 --> 00:27:20.119
 all

00:27:20.119 --> 00:27:20.219
 got

00:27:20.219 --> 00:27:20.339
 our

00:27:20.339 --> 00:27:20.559
 own

00:27:20.559 --> 00:27:21.059
 historical

00:27:21.059 --> 00:27:21.479
 version

00:27:21.479 --> 00:27:21.639
 of

00:27:21.639 --> 00:27:21.819
 it

00:27:21.819 --> 00:27:23.899
 God's

00:27:23.899 --> 00:27:24.179
 left us

00:27:24.179 --> 00:27:24.339
 here

00:27:24.339 --> 00:27:24.479
 because

00:27:24.479 --> 00:27:24.639
 he's

00:27:24.639 --> 00:27:25.119
 patient

00:27:25.119 --> 00:27:27.859
 and he

00:27:27.859 --> 00:27:28.059
 doesn't

00:27:28.059 --> 00:27:28.199
 want

00:27:28.199 --> 00:27:28.379
 any

00:27:28.379 --> 00:27:28.559
 to

00:27:28.559 --> 00:27:28.979
 perish

00:27:28.979 --> 00:27:32.099
 now

00:27:32.099 --> 00:27:32.739
 none

00:27:32.739 --> 00:27:32.979
 of the

00:27:32.979 --> 00:27:33.219
 things

00:27:33.219 --> 00:27:33.619
 we work

00:27:33.619 --> 00:27:33.919
 on at

00:27:33.919 --> 00:27:34.259
 church

00:27:34.259 --> 00:27:35.359
 like

00:27:35.359 --> 00:27:35.839
 songs

00:27:35.839 --> 00:27:36.119
 and the

00:27:36.119 --> 00:27:36.439
 Lord's

00:27:36.439 --> 00:27:36.659
 supper

00:27:36.659 --> 00:27:37.659
 and AGMs

00:27:37.659 --> 00:27:38.219
 are evil

00:27:38.219 --> 00:27:40.719
 but they're

00:27:40.719 --> 00:27:41.019
 not why

00:27:41.019 --> 00:27:41.279
 God's

00:27:41.279 --> 00:27:41.619
 left us

00:27:41.619 --> 00:27:41.859
 here

00:27:41.859 --> 00:27:44.339
 God

00:27:44.339 --> 00:27:44.599
 hasn't

00:27:44.599 --> 00:27:44.959
 left us

00:27:44.959 --> 00:27:45.279
 here

00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:45.939
 so we

00:27:45.939 --> 00:27:46.079
 can

00:27:46.079 --> 00:27:46.439
 cloister

00:27:46.439 --> 00:27:46.859
 ourselves

00:27:46.859 --> 00:27:47.099
 away

00:27:47.099 --> 00:27:47.259
 on

00:27:47.259 --> 00:27:47.500
 church

00:27:47.500 --> 00:27:47.919
 camps

00:27:47.919 --> 00:27:50.479
 or so

00:27:50.479 --> 00:27:50.719
 we can

00:27:50.719 --> 00:27:51.079
 send our

00:27:51.079 --> 00:27:51.439
 kids to

00:27:51.439 --> 00:27:51.739
 Christian

00:27:51.739 --> 00:27:52.159
 schools

00:27:52.159 --> 00:27:52.500
 so they

00:27:52.500 --> 00:27:52.619
 can

00:27:52.619 --> 00:27:52.799
 make

00:27:52.799 --> 00:27:53.119
 Christian

00:27:53.119 --> 00:27:53.559
 friends

00:27:53.559 --> 00:27:53.799
 and

00:27:53.799 --> 00:27:54.479
 become

00:27:54.480 --> 00:27:54.920
 Christian

00:27:54.920 --> 00:27:55.140
 school

00:27:55.140 --> 00:27:55.460
 teachers

00:27:55.460 --> 00:27:55.720
 one

00:27:55.720 --> 00:27:56.019
 day

00:27:56.019 --> 00:27:56.500
 and

00:27:56.500 --> 00:27:57.059
 play

00:27:57.059 --> 00:27:57.319
 soccer

00:27:57.319 --> 00:27:57.539
 on the

00:27:57.539 --> 00:27:57.799
 weekend

00:27:57.799 --> 00:27:57.980
 with

00:27:57.980 --> 00:27:58.099
 their

00:27:58.099 --> 00:27:58.319
 friends

00:27:58.319 --> 00:27:58.480
 from

00:27:58.480 --> 00:27:58.920
 church

00:27:58.920 --> 00:28:01.120
 it's

00:28:01.120 --> 00:28:01.400
 kind of

00:28:01.400 --> 00:28:01.620
 funny

00:28:01.620 --> 00:28:02.099
 but it's

00:28:02.099 --> 00:28:02.900
 often how

00:28:02.900 --> 00:28:03.259
 the Christian

00:28:03.259 --> 00:28:03.660
 life is

00:28:03.660 --> 00:28:04.079
 lived out

00:28:04.079 --> 00:28:05.819
 God

00:28:05.819 --> 00:28:06.279
 hasn't left us

00:28:06.279 --> 00:28:06.640
 here for that

00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:07.039
 purpose

00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:09.039
 I'm not

00:28:09.039 --> 00:28:09.319
 saying

00:28:09.319 --> 00:28:09.640
 Christian

00:28:09.640 --> 00:28:10.019
 schools

00:28:13.880 --> 00:28:14.299
 community

00:28:14.720 --> 00:28:15.180
 please don't

00:28:15.180 --> 00:28:15.420
 hear me

00:28:15.420 --> 00:28:16.000
 saying that

00:28:16.000 --> 00:28:17.860
 but this

00:28:17.860 --> 00:28:18.160
 is not

00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:18.440
 heaven

00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:18.799
 is it

00:28:18.799 --> 00:28:20.960
 we're

00:28:20.960 --> 00:28:21.360
 not here

00:28:21.360 --> 00:28:21.599
 as an

00:28:21.599 --> 00:28:22.000
 expression

00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:23.039
 of heaven

00:28:23.039 --> 00:28:23.660
 on earth

00:28:23.660 --> 00:28:24.900
 we're

00:28:24.900 --> 00:28:25.079
 here

00:28:25.079 --> 00:28:25.240
 because

 God's

00:28:25.519 --> 00:28:25.920

 not

 wanting

00:28:26.420 --> 00:28:26.700
 anyone

00:28:26.700 --> 00:28:26.920
 to

00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:27.299
 perish

00:28:27.299 --> 00:28:30.920
 God's

00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:31.339
 left us

00:28:31.339 --> 00:28:31.619
 here to

 people in

00:28:32.400 --> 00:28:33.000
 this world

00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:33.440
 the people

00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:33.700
 in our

00:28:33.700 --> 00:28:34.079
 ordinary

00:28:34.079 --> 00:28:34.640
 lives

00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:35.440
 to his

00:28:35.440 --> 00:28:36.339
 patient

00:28:36.339 --> 00:28:36.900
 and gracious

00:28:36.900 --> 00:28:37.819
 offer of

00:28:37.819 --> 00:28:38.240
 life in

00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:38.640
 Jesus

00:28:38.640 --> 00:28:40.779
 before the

00:28:40.779 --> 00:28:41.160
 heavens and

00:28:41.160 --> 00:28:41.420
 the earth

00:28:41.420 --> 00:28:41.740
 are laid

00:28:41.740 --> 00:28:42.059
 bare

00:28:42.059 --> 00:28:44.779
 how do

00:28:44.779 --> 00:28:45.200
 you go

00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:45.759
 at positioning

00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:46.400
 yourself for

00:28:46.400 --> 00:28:47.019
 evangelism

00:28:47.019 --> 00:28:49.460
 have you

00:28:49.460 --> 00:28:49.819
 positioned

00:28:49.819 --> 00:28:50.400
 yourself

00:28:50.400 --> 00:28:50.720
 and your

00:28:50.720 --> 00:28:51.240
 family

00:28:51.240 --> 00:28:52.579
 to have

00:28:52.579 --> 00:28:53.139
 the opportunity

00:28:53.139 --> 00:28:53.839
 to do it

00:28:53.839 --> 00:28:54.759
 in the way

00:28:54.759 --> 00:28:55.099
 you've set

00:28:55.099 --> 00:28:55.359
 up your

00:28:55.359 --> 00:28:55.779
 life

00:28:55.779 --> 00:28:58.039
 think about

00:28:58.039 --> 00:28:58.299
 it

00:28:58.299 --> 00:28:59.680
 if you're

00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:00.400
 at the

00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:00.960
 very early

00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:01.619
 stage of

00:29:01.619 --> 00:29:02.180
 having kids

00:29:02.180 --> 00:29:02.619
 or you

00:29:02.619 --> 00:29:03.059
 haven't had

00:29:03.059 --> 00:29:03.420
 them yet

00:29:03.420 --> 00:29:04.680
 ask yourself

00:29:04.680 --> 00:29:06.220
 how are we

00:29:06.220 --> 00:29:06.579
 going to set

00:29:06.579 --> 00:29:06.960
 this thing

00:29:06.960 --> 00:29:08.200
 up so our

00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:08.720
 family can

00:29:08.720 --> 00:29:09.139
 witness to

00:29:09.139 --> 00:29:09.420
 the Lord

00:29:09.420 --> 00:29:09.700
 Jesus

00:29:09.700 --> 00:29:10.200
 Christ

00:29:10.200 --> 00:29:12.539
 it might

00:29:12.539 --> 00:29:12.920
 be the

00:29:12.920 --> 00:29:13.379
 case

00:29:13.379 --> 00:29:14.139
 that you

00:29:14.139 --> 00:29:14.980
 decide to

00:29:14.980 --> 00:29:15.319
 send them

00:29:15.319 --> 00:29:15.559
 to a

00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:15.819
 Christian

00:29:15.819 --> 00:29:16.180
 school

00:29:16.180 --> 00:29:16.379
 or to

00:29:16.379 --> 00:29:16.839
 homeschool

00:29:16.839 --> 00:29:17.000
 them

00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:17.459
 to give

00:29:17.459 --> 00:29:17.740
 them a

00:29:17.740 --> 00:29:18.039
 solid

00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:18.480
 anchor

00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:18.759
 in the

00:29:18.759 --> 00:29:19.039
 faith

00:29:19.039 --> 00:29:19.299
 so that

00:29:19.299 --> 00:29:19.500
 when they

00:29:19.500 --> 00:29:19.779
 go out

00:29:19.779 --> 00:29:20.059
 into the

00:29:20.059 --> 00:29:20.299
 world

00:29:20.299 --> 00:29:20.579
 they can

00:29:20.579 --> 00:29:20.879
 live for

00:29:20.879 --> 00:29:21.319
 Jesus

00:29:21.319 --> 00:29:22.759
 but make

00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:23.079
 sure you're

00:29:23.079 --> 00:29:23.519
 very clear

00:29:23.519 --> 00:29:23.759
 with them

00:29:23.759 --> 00:29:24.059
 that that's

00:29:24.059 --> 00:29:24.379
 what you're

00:29:24.379 --> 00:29:24.679
 doing

00:29:24.679 --> 00:29:25.959
 you're not

00:29:25.959 --> 00:29:26.559
 hiding them

00:29:26.559 --> 00:29:26.959
 you're not

00:29:26.959 --> 00:29:27.439
 cloistering

00:29:27.439 --> 00:29:27.779
 them from

00:29:27.779 --> 00:29:28.079
 the evil

00:29:28.079 --> 00:29:28.619
 world

00:29:28.619 --> 00:29:30.039
 no you're

00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:30.559
 actually setting

00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:31.039
 them up to

00:29:31.039 --> 00:29:31.480
 reach this

00:29:31.480 --> 00:29:31.839
 world

00:29:31.839 --> 00:29:32.919
 it might be

00:29:32.919 --> 00:29:33.139
 that you

00:29:33.139 --> 00:29:33.619
 decide to

00:29:33.619 --> 00:29:33.899
 send them

00:29:33.899 --> 00:29:34.359
 to a

00:29:34.359 --> 00:29:34.659
 state

00:29:34.659 --> 00:29:35.019
 school

00:29:35.019 --> 00:29:35.759
 we did

00:29:35.759 --> 00:29:36.039
 that with

00:29:36.039 --> 00:29:36.259
 our

00:29:36.259 --> 00:29:36.639
 kids

00:29:36.639 --> 00:29:37.599
 you're

00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:37.839
 throwing

00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:38.139
 them to

00:29:38.139 --> 00:29:38.579
 the wolves

00:29:38.579 --> 00:29:38.879
 in a

00:29:38.879 --> 00:29:39.119
 sense

00:29:39.119 --> 00:29:40.939
 if you

00:29:40.939 --> 00:29:41.519
 do that

00:29:41.519 --> 00:29:42.339
 make sure

00:29:42.339 --> 00:29:42.679
 you read

00:29:42.679 --> 00:29:43.039
 the Bible

00:29:43.039 --> 00:29:43.379
 with them

00:29:46.839 --> 00:29:47.740
 and ask

00:29:47.740 --> 00:29:48.099
 them how

00:29:48.099 --> 00:29:48.339
 they're

00:29:48.339 --> 00:29:48.939
 going at

00:29:48.939 --> 00:29:49.379
 sharing the

00:29:49.379 --> 00:29:49.859
 gospel with

00:29:49.859 --> 00:29:50.459
 their friends

00:29:50.459 --> 00:29:52.179
 because we

00:29:52.179 --> 00:29:52.779
 are here for

00:29:52.779 --> 00:29:53.459
 that purpose

00:29:53.459 --> 00:29:55.599
 if you're

00:29:55.599 --> 00:29:56.099
 part of a

00:29:56.099 --> 00:29:56.559
 team a

00:29:56.559 --> 00:29:57.139
 sporting team

00:29:57.139 --> 00:29:57.539
 with all your

00:29:57.539 --> 00:29:58.139
 Christian mates

00:29:58.139 --> 00:29:58.779
 from church

00:29:58.779 --> 00:30:00.619
 invite somebody

00:30:00.619 --> 00:30:01.240
 who's not from

00:30:01.240 --> 00:30:01.839
 church into the

00:30:01.839 --> 00:30:03.619
 team or go

00:30:03.619 --> 00:30:04.099
 and join a

00:30:04.099 --> 00:30:04.459
 team with a

00:30:04.459 --> 00:30:04.799
 couple of your

00:30:04.799 --> 00:30:05.259
 Christian mates

00:30:05.259 --> 00:30:05.720
 that isn't

00:30:05.720 --> 00:30:06.359
 from church

00:30:06.359 --> 00:30:08.459
 God hasn't

00:30:08.459 --> 00:30:09.319
 left us here

00:30:09.319 --> 00:30:10.199
 just to

00:30:10.199 --> 00:30:10.539
 cloister

00:30:10.539 --> 00:30:11.439
 ourselves away

00:30:11.439 --> 00:30:13.699
 he's patient

00:30:13.699 --> 00:30:14.399
 this is so

00:30:14.399 --> 00:30:14.919
 offensive to

00:30:14.919 --> 00:30:15.480
 Christians when I

00:30:15.480 --> 00:30:16.000
 say this I

00:30:16.000 --> 00:30:16.480
 love that I

00:30:16.480 --> 00:30:16.819
 can do it

00:30:16.819 --> 00:30:17.079
 at your

00:30:17.079 --> 00:30:17.619
 church camp

00:30:17.619 --> 00:30:17.879
 and not

00:30:17.879 --> 00:30:18.339
 my own

00:30:18.339 --> 00:30:20.559
 but it's

00:30:20.559 --> 00:30:21.500
 really important

00:30:21.500 --> 00:30:21.980
 for us to

00:30:21.980 --> 00:30:23.079
 understand that

00:30:23.079 --> 00:30:23.639
 we're not

00:30:23.639 --> 00:30:24.919
 here to

00:30:24.919 --> 00:30:25.379
 perfect

00:30:25.379 --> 00:30:26.779
 ourselves and

00:30:26.779 --> 00:30:27.279
 ignore the

00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:27.859
 world around

00:30:27.859 --> 00:30:28.339
 us

00:30:28.339 --> 00:30:30.079
 we're here

00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:30.519
 for the

00:30:30.519 --> 00:30:30.980
 Paul says

00:30:30.980 --> 00:30:31.299
 to the

00:30:31.299 --> 00:30:32.119
 Thessalonians

00:30:32.119 --> 00:30:32.899
 I lived

00:30:32.899 --> 00:30:33.439
 among you

00:30:33.439 --> 00:30:33.859
 for your

00:30:33.859 --> 00:30:34.240
 sake

00:30:34.240 --> 00:30:39.700
 that's why

00:30:39.700 --> 00:30:40.220
 we're here

00:30:40.220 --> 00:30:41.599
 I think

00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:41.960
 about this

00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:42.299
 and I get a

00:30:42.299 --> 00:30:42.519
 little bit

00:30:42.519 --> 00:30:42.939
 emotional

00:30:42.939 --> 00:30:43.500
 because I'm

00:30:43.500 --> 00:30:43.659
 a bit

00:30:43.659 --> 00:30:44.079
 tired

00:30:44.079 --> 00:30:45.039
 but also

00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:46.339
 like

00:30:46.339 --> 00:30:47.599
 my whole

00:30:47.599 --> 00:30:48.199
 family is

00:30:48.199 --> 00:30:48.740
 non-Christian

00:30:48.740 --> 00:30:50.299
 like how

00:30:50.299 --> 00:30:50.679
 would I have

00:30:50.679 --> 00:30:51.039
 come to

00:30:51.039 --> 00:30:51.539
 Christ

00:30:51.539 --> 00:30:52.379
 if I didn't

00:30:52.379 --> 00:30:52.599
 have a

00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:52.859
 Christian

00:30:52.859 --> 00:30:53.240
 mate at

00:30:53.240 --> 00:30:53.720
 school

00:30:53.720 --> 00:30:54.779
 or if I

00:30:54.779 --> 00:30:55.480
 didn't have

00:30:55.480 --> 00:30:56.259
 some minister

00:30:56.259 --> 00:30:56.559
 who was

00:30:56.559 --> 00:30:56.899
 willing to

00:30:56.899 --> 00:30:57.319
 play in a

00:30:57.319 --> 00:30:57.599
 secular

00:31:01.960 --> 00:31:02.480
 we're not

00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:03.140
 doing that

00:31:03.140 --> 00:31:03.360
 in our

00:31:03.360 --> 00:31:03.860
 life

00:31:03.860 --> 00:31:05.100
 how will

00:31:05.100 --> 00:31:05.540
 people ever

00:31:05.540 --> 00:31:05.980
 know

00:31:05.980 --> 00:31:07.100
 you know

00:31:07.100 --> 00:31:07.340
 I've spoken

00:31:07.340 --> 00:31:07.600
 to a few

00:31:07.600 --> 00:31:07.940
 people who've

00:31:07.940 --> 00:31:08.200
 gone to

00:31:08.200 --> 00:31:08.680
 Zambia to

00:31:08.680 --> 00:31:08.960
 share the

00:31:08.960 --> 00:31:09.240
 gospel

00:31:09.240 --> 00:31:10.400
 that's great

00:31:10.400 --> 00:31:10.900
 right

00:31:10.900 --> 00:31:11.860
 there's so

00:31:11.860 --> 00:31:12.280
 many people

00:31:12.280 --> 00:31:12.460
 that have

00:31:12.460 --> 00:31:12.680
 gone to

00:31:12.680 --> 00:31:13.120
 Zambia in

00:31:13.120 --> 00:31:13.540
 this church

00:31:13.540 --> 00:31:14.259
 it's amazing

00:31:14.259 --> 00:31:16.480
 I'm not even

00:31:16.480 --> 00:31:17.020
 asking you to

00:31:17.020 --> 00:31:17.320
 go to

00:31:17.320 --> 00:31:17.780
 Zambia

00:31:17.780 --> 00:31:20.060
 like go to

00:31:20.060 --> 00:31:21.100
 I don't even

00:31:21.100 --> 00:31:21.480
 know the name

00:31:21.480 --> 00:31:21.820
 of a single

00:31:21.820 --> 00:31:22.240
 suburb in

00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:22.840
 Newcastle but

00:31:22.840 --> 00:31:23.500
 just go there

00:31:23.500 --> 00:31:26.320
 and point

00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:26.839
 people to

00:31:26.839 --> 00:31:27.339
 Christ

00:31:27.339 --> 00:31:30.659
 how do you

00:31:30.659 --> 00:31:30.939
 go with

00:31:30.939 --> 00:31:31.379
 talking to

00:31:31.379 --> 00:31:31.919
 people about

00:31:31.919 --> 00:31:32.259
 Jesus

00:31:32.259 --> 00:31:33.700
 I find it

00:31:33.700 --> 00:31:34.119
 hard

00:31:34.119 --> 00:31:37.039
 I've become

00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:37.839
 involved in

00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:38.139
 the local

00:31:38.139 --> 00:31:38.759
 athletics club

00:31:38.759 --> 00:31:39.359
 because all of

00:31:39.359 --> 00:31:39.879
 my life is

00:31:39.879 --> 00:31:40.240
 Christian

00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:41.419
 and our

00:31:41.419 --> 00:31:41.700
 kids are

00:31:41.700 --> 00:31:42.579
 now like

00:31:42.579 --> 00:31:43.059
 at the age

00:31:43.059 --> 00:31:43.960
 where they

00:31:43.960 --> 00:31:44.460
 don't want us

00:31:44.460 --> 00:31:44.919
 to be part of

00:31:44.919 --> 00:31:45.200
 their school

00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:45.899
 community anymore

00:31:45.899 --> 00:31:46.259
 they're all in

00:31:46.259 --> 00:31:46.720
 high school

00:31:46.720 --> 00:31:47.639
 so things have

00:31:47.639 --> 00:31:48.099
 changed

00:31:48.099 --> 00:31:49.480
 so the only

00:31:49.480 --> 00:31:49.839
 way I can

00:31:49.839 --> 00:31:50.559
 meet non-Christians

00:31:50.559 --> 00:31:50.879
 is through

00:31:50.879 --> 00:31:51.939
 sport for me

00:31:51.939 --> 00:31:54.079
 and I find it

00:31:54.079 --> 00:31:54.859
 really hard to

00:31:54.859 --> 00:31:55.319
 work out how

00:31:55.319 --> 00:31:55.819
 to shape my

00:31:55.819 --> 00:31:56.299
 conversation

00:31:56.299 --> 00:31:57.259
 towards Christ

00:31:57.259 --> 00:31:58.259
 and I've been

00:31:58.259 --> 00:31:58.720
 there for 12

00:31:58.720 --> 00:31:59.279
 months now in

00:31:59.279 --> 00:31:59.740
 Bathurst and

00:31:59.740 --> 00:32:00.819
 it's only really

00:32:00.819 --> 00:32:01.480
 this week I feel

00:32:01.480 --> 00:32:01.960
 like I've started

00:32:01.960 --> 00:32:02.460
 to make any

00:32:02.460 --> 00:32:03.159
 kind of progress

00:32:03.159 --> 00:32:03.680
 with that

00:32:03.680 --> 00:32:05.220
 but we've got

00:32:05.220 --> 00:32:05.659
 to be doing

00:32:05.659 --> 00:32:05.980
 it

00:32:05.980 --> 00:32:08.159
 I think sometimes

00:32:08.159 --> 00:32:09.299
 I'm so concerned

00:32:09.299 --> 00:32:09.919
 that people won't

00:32:09.919 --> 00:32:10.539
 like me if I

00:32:10.539 --> 00:32:10.879
 talk to them

00:32:10.879 --> 00:32:11.419
 about Jesus

00:32:11.419 --> 00:32:13.680
 but consider

00:32:13.680 --> 00:32:14.519
 glory right

00:32:14.519 --> 00:32:16.200
 they'll love

00:32:16.200 --> 00:32:16.500
 me

00:32:16.500 --> 00:32:18.099
 they'll be like

00:32:18.099 --> 00:32:18.779
 thanks so much

00:32:18.779 --> 00:32:19.359
 for saying that

00:32:19.359 --> 00:32:20.000
 to me

00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:23.579
 how do you go

00:32:23.579 --> 00:32:24.460
 at prioritising

00:32:24.460 --> 00:32:25.119
 evangelism

00:32:25.119 --> 00:32:27.739
 do you know

00:32:27.739 --> 00:32:28.179
 what God

00:32:28.179 --> 00:32:28.759
 is like

00:32:28.759 --> 00:32:29.339
 do you know

00:32:29.339 --> 00:32:30.079
 his desire

00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:30.899
 for the world

00:32:30.899 --> 00:32:32.799
 and does that

00:32:32.799 --> 00:32:33.679
 character reflect

00:32:33.679 --> 00:32:35.239
 in the way

00:32:35.239 --> 00:32:36.059
 you use

00:32:36.059 --> 00:32:36.659
 your life

00:32:36.659 --> 00:32:39.119
 why don't we

00:32:39.119 --> 00:32:39.659
 pray and ask

00:32:39.659 --> 00:32:40.139
 God for help

00:32:40.139 --> 00:32:40.439
 with that

00:32:40.439 --> 00:32:40.879
 because this is

00:32:40.879 --> 00:32:41.359
 actually really

00:32:41.359 --> 00:32:42.119
 hard for us

00:32:42.119 --> 00:32:43.199
 so let's pray

00:32:43.200 --> 00:32:53.420
 our heavenly

 of everything

00:32:59.240 --> 00:33:00.319
 that you alone
