WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.780
 Thank you, man.

00:00:04.820 --> 00:00:07.560
 If you have your Bibles, I want you to turn to Genesis chapter 12.

00:00:08.679 --> 00:00:10.099
 Genesis chapter 12.

00:00:11.580 --> 00:00:16.359
 One thing I love about the Word of God is that it is truth.

00:00:17.940 --> 00:00:26.640
 It speaks it clearly, and even when it's not pretty or fun,

00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:32.859
 even when you don't agree with it, it still speaks the truth.

00:00:33.939 --> 00:00:41.000
 It's filled with biographies, among other things, of men and women,

00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:48.600
 and it shows and tells the truth.

00:00:51.219 --> 00:00:56.299
 Oliver Cromwell was a 17th century English statesman.

00:00:56.640 --> 00:00:58.179
 And a hero.

00:00:59.380 --> 00:01:03.140
 And he was known for his authenticity and his frankness.

00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:08.680
 And it is told that one day he set for a portrait to be painted of him.

00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:12.060
 And he told the painter this.

00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:19.980
 Mr. Lilly, I desire you would use all your skill to paint my picture truly like me

00:01:19.980 --> 00:01:22.820
 and not flatter me at all,

00:01:22.820 --> 00:01:32.120
 but remark all these roughest roughness, pimples, warts, and everything as you see me.

00:01:32.240 --> 00:01:35.520
 Otherwise, I will never pay a farthing for it.

00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:38.359
 Ugly or not.

00:01:39.420 --> 00:01:42.280
 And in reality, all of our lives have some ugly in them.

00:01:43.340 --> 00:01:47.719
 The biographies of the Word of God shows warts and all.

00:01:48.819 --> 00:01:53.379
 It tells us after Noah trusted the Lord so faithfully

00:01:53.379 --> 00:01:57.039
 and built an ark in a desert before it ever rained.

00:01:58.420 --> 00:02:00.479
 Went on that ark with all those animals.

00:02:01.479 --> 00:02:05.239
 When he came off that ark, he went to the vineyard.

00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:08.599
 And he enjoyed himself too much.

00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:15.419
 It tells us that David was in the wrong place at the wrong time

00:02:15.419 --> 00:02:17.299
 and made wrong choices.

00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:23.740
 It tells us that Paul was very wrong before he became very right.

00:02:23.740 --> 00:02:25.900
 And thank God for Peter.

00:02:26.379 --> 00:02:29.800
 If you've ever said anything stupid in your life and wish you hadn't,

00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:31.520
 you thank God for Peter.

00:02:32.640 --> 00:02:36.180
 And if you don't know that you've said anything stupid, well, pitiful.

00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:38.540
 But anyway, because we all have.

00:02:39.219 --> 00:02:46.500
 And Abraham in that same way is known for his soul-stirring faith, but.

00:02:49.300 --> 00:02:51.340
 And over the next few weeks together,

00:02:51.340 --> 00:02:53.560
 we're going to look at Abraham

00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:57.780
 and look at what it means to walk by faith.

00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:00.939
 The steps of his faith.

00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:04.860
 Along with, because Scripture puts it there for us,

00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:07.340
 his buts along the way.

00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:10.659
 Because not only does he deal with those,

00:03:11.580 --> 00:03:12.640
 but so do we.

00:03:13.860 --> 00:03:15.640
 I want you to imagine, if you will,

00:03:16.539 --> 00:03:17.420
 you're in the desert.

00:03:18.640 --> 00:03:21.199
 You are parched in the desert.

00:03:21.340 --> 00:03:24.500
 You look around and there's little hope around.

00:03:25.140 --> 00:03:29.000
 You're getting very dry and you are needing relief

00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:33.980
 and you just want a sip of water more than anything else.

00:03:34.259 --> 00:03:37.539
 You'd give all you had just for a drink of water

00:03:37.539 --> 00:03:41.360
 and you look around and you see a water pump.

00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:48.460
 A water pump there and hanging from the pump is a canteen.

00:03:49.460 --> 00:03:52.520
 And that canteen, thank God, is filled with water.

00:03:53.780 --> 00:03:55.240
 And there's a sign on it.

00:03:56.360 --> 00:03:57.780
 And the sign reads,

00:03:59.060 --> 00:04:00.360
 beneath your feet

00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:04.960
 is all the fresh, cool water you'll ever need,

00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:08.379
 but the pump will not work

00:04:08.379 --> 00:04:10.900
 unless it's primed with water.

00:04:12.219 --> 00:04:13.879
 And the canteen

00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:17.699
 contains exactly enough water

00:04:17.699 --> 00:04:19.120
 to prime

00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:20.780
 the pump.

00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:24.860
 Sure enough, you open the canteen

00:04:24.860 --> 00:04:26.939
 and there's water

00:04:26.939 --> 00:04:28.819
 in the canteen.

00:04:28.819 --> 00:04:31.980
 What do you do?

00:04:35.259 --> 00:04:36.879
 How old's that note?

00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:40.180
 Who wrote it?

00:04:42.159 --> 00:04:43.540
 Are they reliable?

00:04:45.779 --> 00:04:46.879
 A canteen full of water

00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:48.199
 sure wouldn't feel good right now,

00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:49.980
 but a well,

00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:50.819
 whoo!

00:04:50.819 --> 00:04:54.719
 What do you do?

00:04:57.060 --> 00:04:58.480
 If you trust the sign,

00:04:59.980 --> 00:05:01.719
 do you pour your life away?

00:05:05.659 --> 00:05:06.139
 Abraham

00:05:06.139 --> 00:05:09.019
 had a lot of decisions

00:05:09.019 --> 00:05:10.240
 like that.

00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:12.680
 Tough decisions.

00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:15.759
 Do you keep what's in the hand

00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:18.560
 or do you go after what's in the bush?

00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:21.560
 Abraham believed

00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:23.680
 the promises of God.

00:05:23.819 --> 00:05:25.839
 He is the quintessential model

00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:26.560
 of faith

00:05:27.220 --> 00:05:28.100
 even though

00:05:28.100 --> 00:05:29.540
 he did not come

00:05:29.540 --> 00:05:31.139
 from a strong heritage of faith.

00:05:32.340 --> 00:05:34.100
 The passage we look at today

00:05:34.100 --> 00:05:35.480
 says that they were in

00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:36.840
 in Or

00:05:36.840 --> 00:05:38.420
 and the reality is

00:05:38.420 --> 00:05:40.399
 he was raised there

00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:42.399
 and Stephen tells us that

00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:43.240
 in the book of Acts.

00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:45.779
 And Or was known

00:05:45.779 --> 00:05:46.560
 for their idolatry

00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:48.379
 particularly

00:05:48.379 --> 00:05:49.379
 worshipping

00:05:50.019 --> 00:05:51.439
 a moon god

00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:52.680
 ironically

00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:53.759
 named Sin.

00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:55.680
 And it is a sin

00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:56.639
 to worship

00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:57.439
 a moon god.

00:05:58.300 --> 00:05:59.600
 Joshua tells us

00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:00.719
 that he and his family

00:06:00.719 --> 00:06:01.839
 he

00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:03.259
 he and the family

00:06:03.259 --> 00:06:04.319
 that raised him

00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:05.399
 worshipped

00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:06.459
 other gods.

00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:07.719
 So it was not like

00:06:07.719 --> 00:06:08.259
 Abram

00:06:08.259 --> 00:06:09.899
 went looking for God.

00:06:10.019 --> 00:06:10.920
 No, God came

00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:12.180
 to him.

00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:14.100
 And what we know

00:06:14.100 --> 00:06:15.379
 most about him

00:06:15.379 --> 00:06:16.939
 is his obedient faith.

00:06:16.939 --> 00:06:18.279
 we know him

00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:19.480
 because of his faith.

00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:20.439
 However,

00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:21.740
 I will tell you

00:06:21.740 --> 00:06:22.879
 from the get-go

00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:24.500
 it was far from perfect.

00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:26.759
 It was strong faith.

00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:28.600
 It was an imperfect faith.

00:06:28.860 --> 00:06:30.019
 But it is here

00:06:30.019 --> 00:06:31.199
 and God's word

00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:32.500
 gives it to us

00:06:32.500 --> 00:06:34.279
 as we march

00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:35.579
 through his life together

00:06:35.579 --> 00:06:36.980
 so that we can learn

00:06:36.980 --> 00:06:37.579
 from it.

00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:39.920
 Not just the high points.

00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:41.240
 And thank God

00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:42.399
 not just the low points.

00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:43.779
 But we can learn

00:06:43.779 --> 00:06:45.039
 from all of it.

00:06:46.719 --> 00:06:47.219
 And so today

00:06:47.219 --> 00:06:48.139
 I want us to look

00:06:48.139 --> 00:06:48.959
 at the call

00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:51.319
 upon Abram's life.

00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:53.439
 That was his name

00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:54.479
 early in his life

00:06:54.479 --> 00:06:55.459
 and God changed it.

00:06:57.659 --> 00:06:58.719
 The call that was

00:06:58.719 --> 00:06:59.479
 placed upon him

00:06:59.479 --> 00:07:00.699
 and if you're like me

00:07:00.699 --> 00:07:01.719
 when you hear somebody

00:07:01.719 --> 00:07:03.039
 talk about a call

00:07:03.039 --> 00:07:04.339
 put upon somebody

00:07:04.339 --> 00:07:05.899
 you may think

00:07:05.899 --> 00:07:06.739
 if you're old fashioned

00:07:06.739 --> 00:07:07.279
 like me

00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:08.159
 you may think

00:07:08.159 --> 00:07:08.759
 of a call

00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:10.679
 upon a preacher's life.

00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:11.860
 That God's called

00:07:11.860 --> 00:07:13.120
 somebody to the ministry.

00:07:13.300 --> 00:07:13.920
 God's called

00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:15.019
 and that is true

00:07:15.019 --> 00:07:15.920
 and I believe in that

00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:16.660
 and I believe

00:07:16.660 --> 00:07:18.100
 that God put his hand

00:07:18.100 --> 00:07:18.699
 upon me

00:07:18.699 --> 00:07:19.459
 and I believe

00:07:19.459 --> 00:07:20.519
 he revealed it to me

00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:21.139
 so clearly.

00:07:21.459 --> 00:07:22.400
 It was a burning bush

00:07:22.400 --> 00:07:23.680
 type experience for me

00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:25.259
 and anytime you get down

00:07:25.259 --> 00:07:25.960
 on Monday morning

00:07:25.960 --> 00:07:27.220
 I go back to the call

00:07:27.220 --> 00:07:28.259
 of the Lord Jesus

00:07:28.259 --> 00:07:29.180
 that he placed

00:07:29.180 --> 00:07:30.040
 upon my life

00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:30.800
 and I believe

00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:31.699
 the reason why

00:07:31.699 --> 00:07:32.800
 I do what I do

00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:33.819
 and why I continue

00:07:33.819 --> 00:07:34.600
 to do it now

00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:36.639
 right at 30 years later

00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:37.480
 is because God

00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:38.100
 placed a call

00:07:38.100 --> 00:07:38.759
 upon my life.

00:07:38.840 --> 00:07:39.639
 So I don't back up

00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:41.000
 upon that at all

00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:41.819
 but the reality is

00:07:41.819 --> 00:07:42.439
 God's put a call

00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:43.240
 on all of our lives

00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:44.120
 in some form or fashion.

00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:46.019
 It's not all for the same thing

00:07:46.019 --> 00:07:46.699
 but he's put a call

00:07:46.699 --> 00:07:48.240
 upon all of us

00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:51.579
 and he wants us all

00:07:51.579 --> 00:07:52.399
 to walk

00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:54.279
 in faithful obedience

00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:54.939
 following

00:07:54.939 --> 00:07:56.620
 whatever it is

00:07:56.620 --> 00:07:57.459
 that he's put there

00:07:57.459 --> 00:07:58.659
 before us

00:07:58.659 --> 00:08:01.699
 and how we do it

00:08:01.699 --> 00:08:02.560
 may be very different

00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:02.959
 but

00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:05.319
 we're to do

00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:06.039
 what he would have us

00:08:06.039 --> 00:08:06.479
 to do.

00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:09.980
 but I'll tell you

00:08:09.980 --> 00:08:10.780
 the walk

00:08:10.780 --> 00:08:11.980
 of faith

00:08:11.980 --> 00:08:14.060
 is where it's at.

00:08:16.700 --> 00:08:17.920
 Genesis chapter 12

00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:19.879
 beginning in verse 1

00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:20.420
 says this

00:08:20.420 --> 00:08:22.780
 now the Lord

00:08:22.780 --> 00:08:23.640
 said to Abram

00:08:23.640 --> 00:08:24.819
 go from your country

00:08:24.819 --> 00:08:25.720
 and your kindred

00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:26.900
 and your father's house

00:08:26.900 --> 00:08:27.560
 to the land

00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:28.640
 that I will show you.

00:08:31.100 --> 00:08:31.819
 Don't read over

00:08:31.819 --> 00:08:32.440
 that too quick.

00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:35.980
 I want you to hear

00:08:35.980 --> 00:08:36.940
 what the Lord told him.

00:08:38.100 --> 00:08:39.680
 Go from your country

00:08:39.680 --> 00:08:42.740
 from your kindred

00:08:42.740 --> 00:08:44.240
 not just the family

00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:44.800
 you don't like

00:08:44.800 --> 00:08:45.700
 I mean all of them

00:08:45.700 --> 00:08:48.640
 and your father's house

00:08:48.640 --> 00:08:51.680
 and I'm not going to tell you

00:08:51.680 --> 00:08:52.340
 where to go yet

00:08:52.340 --> 00:08:54.040
 to the land

00:08:54.040 --> 00:08:55.260
 that I will show you

00:08:55.260 --> 00:08:56.800
 and I will make

00:08:56.800 --> 00:08:58.300
 of you a great nation

00:08:58.300 --> 00:08:59.720
 and I will bless you

00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:01.320
 and make your name great

00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:03.300
 so that you will be

00:09:03.300 --> 00:09:04.280
 a blessing.

00:09:04.820 --> 00:09:05.940
 I will bless

00:09:05.940 --> 00:09:08.780
 those who bless you

00:09:08.780 --> 00:09:11.080
 and him who dishonors you

00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:11.740
 I'll curse

00:09:11.740 --> 00:09:12.379
 and in you

00:09:12.379 --> 00:09:13.120
 all the families

00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:13.540
 of the earth

00:09:13.540 --> 00:09:14.400
 shall be blessed.

00:09:14.820 --> 00:09:15.740
 So Abram went

00:09:15.740 --> 00:09:16.760
 as the Lord

00:09:16.760 --> 00:09:18.100
 had told him

00:09:18.100 --> 00:09:18.980
 it's a good one

00:09:18.980 --> 00:09:19.640
 to underline

00:09:19.640 --> 00:09:20.440
 if you're an underliner

00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:22.800
 and lot with him

00:09:22.800 --> 00:09:26.200
 he was 75 years old

00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:27.060
 when he departed

00:09:27.060 --> 00:09:28.380
 from Haram.

00:09:28.379 --> 00:09:31.120
 God told him

00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:31.939
 to leave

00:09:31.939 --> 00:09:32.840
 everything

00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:34.419
 as he knew it

00:09:34.419 --> 00:09:37.919
 and he did

00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:38.460
 and

00:09:38.460 --> 00:09:41.019
 he don't always

00:09:41.019 --> 00:09:41.500
 tell you

00:09:41.500 --> 00:09:41.980
 to leave

00:09:41.980 --> 00:09:42.659
 everything

00:09:42.659 --> 00:09:43.899
 that you got

00:09:43.899 --> 00:09:44.659
 to be obedient

00:09:44.659 --> 00:09:45.439
 but he can

00:09:45.439 --> 00:09:47.600
 but there are

00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:48.379
 some characteristics

00:09:48.379 --> 00:09:49.220
 of Abraham's

00:09:49.220 --> 00:09:50.019
 walk of faith

00:09:50.019 --> 00:09:50.659
 that is similar

00:09:50.659 --> 00:09:51.120
 to us

00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:52.460
 when God leads us

00:09:52.460 --> 00:09:53.000
 and I want you

00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:53.500
 to get that

00:09:53.500 --> 00:09:54.039
 this morning

00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:56.459
 to walk

00:09:56.459 --> 00:09:57.399
 by faith

00:09:57.399 --> 00:09:59.699
 you have

00:09:59.699 --> 00:10:00.879
 this I have to

00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:02.799
 you have to

00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:03.319
 walk out

00:10:03.319 --> 00:10:04.259
 of your comfort zone

00:10:04.259 --> 00:10:07.559
 you can't stay

00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:08.319
 where you're comfortable

00:10:08.319 --> 00:10:10.399
 and go with God

00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:12.779
 God

00:10:12.779 --> 00:10:14.539
 does not always

00:10:14.539 --> 00:10:15.459
 require you

00:10:15.459 --> 00:10:16.659
 to leave your country

00:10:16.659 --> 00:10:18.500
 but he might

00:10:18.500 --> 00:10:22.059
 he don't always

00:10:22.059 --> 00:10:22.620
 require you

00:10:22.620 --> 00:10:23.500
 to leave your people

00:10:23.500 --> 00:10:26.200
 but he might

00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:28.220
 he don't always

00:10:28.220 --> 00:10:28.559
 call you

00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:29.000
 to leave your

00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:29.600
 livelihood

00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:32.399
 but he might

00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:34.759
 but to walk

00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:35.460
 by faith

00:10:35.460 --> 00:10:36.700
 he will always

00:10:36.700 --> 00:10:37.340
 lead you

00:10:37.340 --> 00:10:37.919
 out of your

00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:38.539
 comfort zone

00:10:38.539 --> 00:10:39.440
 you cannot

00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:40.440
 stay where you

00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:40.779
 are

00:10:40.779 --> 00:10:41.559
 and go with

00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:42.039
 where God

00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:42.759
 would have you

00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:44.259
 you can't do

00:10:44.259 --> 00:10:44.679
 both

00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:47.120
 some folks

00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:47.779
 need to change

00:10:47.779 --> 00:10:48.620
 where they are

00:10:48.620 --> 00:10:51.139
 some folks

00:10:51.139 --> 00:10:51.740
 need to change

00:10:51.740 --> 00:10:52.000
 who they're

00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:52.779
 hanging out with

00:10:52.779 --> 00:10:55.000
 some folks

00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:55.579
 need to change

00:10:55.579 --> 00:10:55.879
 what they're

00:10:55.879 --> 00:10:56.240
 doing

00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:58.519
 Abram had to

00:10:58.519 --> 00:10:59.279
 do all

00:10:59.279 --> 00:10:59.879
 of that

00:10:59.879 --> 00:11:01.500
 everyone

00:11:01.500 --> 00:11:02.079
 does not

00:11:02.079 --> 00:11:02.579
 have to do

00:11:02.579 --> 00:11:03.339
 all of that

00:11:03.339 --> 00:11:03.860
 but I will

00:11:03.860 --> 00:11:04.399
 assure you

00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:04.939
 that walking

00:11:04.939 --> 00:11:05.639
 with God

00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:06.439
 will take

00:11:06.439 --> 00:11:07.100
 you out

00:11:07.100 --> 00:11:07.500
 of your

00:11:07.500 --> 00:11:08.319
 comfort zone

00:11:08.319 --> 00:11:09.299
 you cannot

00:11:09.299 --> 00:11:10.120
 stay

00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:11.220
 where you

00:11:11.220 --> 00:11:11.720
 are

00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:12.379
 and go

00:11:12.379 --> 00:11:12.819
 with where

00:11:12.819 --> 00:11:13.100
 God

00:11:13.100 --> 00:11:13.459
 would have

00:11:13.459 --> 00:11:13.939
 you to go

00:11:13.939 --> 00:11:15.620
 when you

00:11:15.620 --> 00:11:15.899
 surrender

00:11:15.899 --> 00:11:16.319
 your life

00:11:16.319 --> 00:11:16.639
 to the Lord

00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:16.939
 Jesus

00:11:16.939 --> 00:11:17.379
 it's a

00:11:17.379 --> 00:11:17.899
 no holds

00:11:17.899 --> 00:11:18.659
 barred deal

00:11:18.659 --> 00:11:19.360
 there's no

00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:19.879
 territory

00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:20.700
 of your

00:11:20.700 --> 00:11:21.120
 life

00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:21.439
 that is

00:11:21.439 --> 00:11:22.059
 off limits

00:11:22.059 --> 00:11:22.419
 to the

00:11:22.419 --> 00:11:22.679
 Lord

00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:23.299
 if you're

00:11:23.299 --> 00:11:23.779
 in complete

00:11:23.779 --> 00:11:24.259
 obedience

00:11:24.259 --> 00:11:24.759
 to following

00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:24.980
 him

00:11:24.980 --> 00:11:25.519
 and you're

00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:25.799
 walking

00:11:25.799 --> 00:11:26.460
 by faith

00:11:26.460 --> 00:11:28.039
 now I will

00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:28.580
 be clear

00:11:28.580 --> 00:11:29.139
 about something

00:11:29.139 --> 00:11:29.679
 God's not

00:11:29.679 --> 00:11:30.179
 going to tell

00:11:30.179 --> 00:11:31.080
 you to leave

00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:31.779
 your spouse

00:11:31.779 --> 00:11:34.080
 and God's

00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:34.460
 not going to

00:11:34.460 --> 00:11:35.080
 tell you to

00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:35.439
 abandon

00:11:35.439 --> 00:11:36.220
 your kids

00:11:36.220 --> 00:11:38.240
 and if you

00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:38.720
 come to me

00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:39.259
 and tell me

00:11:39.259 --> 00:11:39.659
 that's what

00:11:39.659 --> 00:11:40.240
 God told me

00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:40.679
 to do

00:11:40.679 --> 00:11:42.779
 I'll tell

00:11:42.779 --> 00:11:43.299
 you wrong

00:11:43.299 --> 00:11:45.139
 God's not

00:11:45.139 --> 00:11:45.500
 going to tell

00:11:45.500 --> 00:11:46.080
 you to forsake

00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:46.580
 all matters

00:11:46.580 --> 00:11:47.179
 of sins

00:11:47.179 --> 00:11:48.079
 that's not

00:11:48.079 --> 00:11:48.459
 what God

00:11:48.459 --> 00:11:48.639
 does

00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:49.120
 as a matter

00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:49.659
 of fact

00:11:49.659 --> 00:11:50.379
 it's a

00:11:50.379 --> 00:11:50.739
 pretty good

00:11:50.739 --> 00:11:51.019
 sign

00:11:51.019 --> 00:11:51.299
 when you

00:11:51.299 --> 00:11:51.919
 see somebody

00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:52.819
 getting a

00:11:52.819 --> 00:11:53.219
 scurry

00:11:53.219 --> 00:11:54.319
 and make

00:11:54.319 --> 00:11:54.659
 a lot of

00:11:54.659 --> 00:11:55.559
 quick rash

00:11:55.559 --> 00:11:56.219
 decisions

00:11:56.219 --> 00:11:56.659
 that they

00:11:56.659 --> 00:11:57.299
 can't stick

00:11:57.299 --> 00:11:57.679
 to

00:11:57.679 --> 00:11:58.699
 that they're

00:11:58.699 --> 00:11:59.379
 off course

00:11:59.379 --> 00:12:02.099
 kind of like

00:12:02.099 --> 00:12:02.639
 a proverb

00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:03.259
 it's not

00:12:03.259 --> 00:12:04.219
 not exactly

00:12:04.219 --> 00:12:04.799
 a promise

00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:05.299
 but it's a

00:12:05.299 --> 00:12:05.739
 good wise

00:12:05.739 --> 00:12:06.259
 saying to

00:12:06.259 --> 00:12:06.719
 understand

00:12:06.719 --> 00:12:07.539
 that when

00:12:07.539 --> 00:12:08.019
 things get

00:12:08.019 --> 00:12:08.219
 a little

00:12:08.219 --> 00:12:08.739
 chaotic

00:12:08.739 --> 00:12:09.319
 God's not

00:12:09.319 --> 00:12:09.539
 in the

00:12:09.539 --> 00:12:10.039
 chaos

00:12:10.039 --> 00:12:12.399
 need to

00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:12.659
 take a

00:12:12.659 --> 00:12:13.039
 break

00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:14.279
 swallow

00:12:14.279 --> 00:12:15.459
 and a

00:12:15.459 --> 00:12:15.839
 breath

00:12:15.839 --> 00:12:16.539
 and a

00:12:16.539 --> 00:12:16.919
 prayer

00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:18.379
 and see

00:12:18.379 --> 00:12:18.740
 where you're

00:12:18.740 --> 00:12:19.019
 at

00:12:19.019 --> 00:12:24.979
 he will

00:12:24.979 --> 00:12:25.459
 challenge

00:12:25.459 --> 00:12:25.959
 you though

00:12:25.959 --> 00:12:27.659
 he will

00:12:27.659 --> 00:12:29.759
 he will

00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:30.500
 touch on

00:12:30.500 --> 00:12:30.979
 the things

00:12:30.979 --> 00:12:31.439
 in your

00:12:31.439 --> 00:12:31.839
 life

00:12:31.839 --> 00:12:32.659
 that we

00:12:32.659 --> 00:12:33.279
 consider

00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:34.199
 untouchable

00:12:34.199 --> 00:12:35.740
 he will

00:12:35.740 --> 00:12:36.399
 unsettle

00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:37.079
 the waters

00:12:37.079 --> 00:12:37.559
 of your

00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:37.839
 life

00:12:37.839 --> 00:12:38.639
 he will

00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:39.240
 rock

00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:39.819
 your

00:12:39.819 --> 00:12:40.479
 world

00:12:40.479 --> 00:12:41.120
 Vance

00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:41.480
 Havner

00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:41.799
 put it

00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:42.179
 this way

00:12:42.179 --> 00:12:42.719
 he said

00:12:42.719 --> 00:12:43.500
 Abraham's

00:12:43.500 --> 00:12:43.759
 tent

00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:44.419
 knew no

00:12:44.419 --> 00:12:44.959
 secure

00:12:44.959 --> 00:12:45.799
 foundations

00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:46.439
 only

00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:47.100
 pegs

00:12:47.100 --> 00:12:47.400
 driven

00:12:47.400 --> 00:12:48.040
 in the

00:12:48.040 --> 00:12:48.360
 desert

00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:48.900
 sand

00:12:48.900 --> 00:12:50.700
 I think

00:12:50.700 --> 00:12:51.080
 we have

00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:51.480
 to ask

00:12:51.480 --> 00:12:51.940
 ourselves

00:12:51.940 --> 00:12:53.360
 how deep

00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:53.740
 are my

00:12:53.740 --> 00:12:54.240
 pegs

00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:54.560
 driven

00:12:54.560 --> 00:12:57.380
 how set

00:12:57.380 --> 00:12:57.640
 am I

00:12:57.640 --> 00:12:57.940
 in my

00:12:57.940 --> 00:12:58.620
 ways

00:12:58.620 --> 00:13:00.960
 how set

00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:01.260
 am I

00:13:01.260 --> 00:13:02.080
 in what

00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:02.940
 I want

00:13:02.940 --> 00:13:04.480
 how open

00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:04.800
 am I

00:13:04.800 --> 00:13:05.580
 to follow

00:13:05.580 --> 00:13:06.500
 the Lord

00:13:06.500 --> 00:13:08.320
 because to

00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:08.640
 go with

00:13:08.640 --> 00:13:08.880
 God

00:13:08.880 --> 00:13:09.300
 you've got

00:13:09.300 --> 00:13:09.840
 to walk

00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:10.340
 out of

00:13:10.340 --> 00:13:10.940
 your comfort

00:13:10.940 --> 00:13:11.300
 zone

00:13:11.300 --> 00:13:12.180
 and walk

00:13:12.180 --> 00:13:13.260
 by faith

00:13:13.259 --> 00:13:14.159
 it is

00:13:14.159 --> 00:13:14.480
 a walk

00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:14.980
 by faith

00:13:14.980 --> 00:13:17.080
 not only

00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:17.419
 that but

00:13:17.419 --> 00:13:17.779
 to walk

00:13:17.779 --> 00:13:18.240
 by faith

00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:18.740
 we have

00:13:18.740 --> 00:13:19.439
 to trust

00:13:19.439 --> 00:13:20.000
 what God

00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:20.460
 has for

00:13:20.460 --> 00:13:20.759
 us

00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:22.080
 you have

00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:22.480
 to trust

00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:22.679
 him

00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:24.179
 God

00:13:24.179 --> 00:13:24.500
 has

00:13:24.500 --> 00:13:24.980
 much

00:13:24.980 --> 00:13:25.240
 more

00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:25.700
 in store

00:13:25.700 --> 00:13:26.220
 for Abraham

00:13:26.220 --> 00:13:26.819
 than he

00:13:26.819 --> 00:13:27.419
 could ever

00:13:27.419 --> 00:13:28.039
 imagine

00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:28.620
 but he

00:13:28.620 --> 00:13:30.120
 he could

00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:30.679
 not get

00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:31.000
 it where

00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:31.439
 he was

00:13:31.439 --> 00:13:31.840
 he had

00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:32.159
 to move

00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:32.439
 out of

00:13:32.439 --> 00:13:32.879
 his comfort

00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:33.139
 zone

00:13:33.139 --> 00:13:33.539
 and trust

00:13:33.539 --> 00:13:33.779
 God

00:13:33.779 --> 00:13:34.319
 and that's

00:13:34.319 --> 00:13:34.960
 a prerequisite

00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:35.360
 of the

00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:35.639
 Lord

00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:37.819
 you know

00:13:37.819 --> 00:13:38.039
 what a

00:13:38.039 --> 00:13:38.460
 prerequisite

00:13:38.460 --> 00:13:38.879
 is

00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:39.919
 it's

00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:40.919
 in college

00:13:40.919 --> 00:13:41.439
 if you

00:13:41.439 --> 00:13:41.639
 take

00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:41.919
 one

00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:42.500
 class

00:13:42.500 --> 00:13:43.439
 after

00:13:43.439 --> 00:13:43.759
 another

00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:44.139
 sometimes

00:13:44.139 --> 00:13:44.559
 if you

00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:44.759
 take

00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:45.039
 English

00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:45.419
 102

00:13:45.419 --> 00:13:46.819
 you have

00:13:46.819 --> 00:13:47.039
 to have

00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:47.279
 English

00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:47.679
 101

00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:49.019
 and they

00:13:49.019 --> 00:13:49.419
 won't let

00:13:49.419 --> 00:13:49.620
 you in

00:13:49.620 --> 00:13:50.099
 that class

00:13:50.099 --> 00:13:50.519
 until you

00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:50.860
 followed

00:13:50.860 --> 00:13:51.059
 that

00:13:51.059 --> 00:13:52.360
 God

00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:52.579
 has

00:13:52.579 --> 00:13:53.240
 prerequisites

00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:53.539
 in our

00:13:53.539 --> 00:13:53.939
 life

00:13:53.939 --> 00:13:55.419
 and the

00:13:55.419 --> 00:13:55.860
 prerequisite

00:13:55.860 --> 00:13:56.159
 that he

00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:56.479
 has in

00:13:56.479 --> 00:13:56.959
 our life

00:13:56.959 --> 00:13:57.759
 is steps

00:13:57.759 --> 00:13:58.259
 of faith

00:13:58.259 --> 00:13:58.779
 lead to

00:13:58.779 --> 00:13:59.279
 promises

00:13:59.279 --> 00:13:59.759
 but we

00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:00.039
 have to

00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:00.299
 follow

00:14:00.299 --> 00:14:00.579
 those

00:14:00.579 --> 00:14:01.099
 steps

00:14:01.099 --> 00:14:02.559
 but you

00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:02.939
 have to

00:14:02.939 --> 00:14:03.219
 trust

00:14:03.219 --> 00:14:03.699
 God

00:14:03.699 --> 00:14:06.439
 and what

00:14:06.439 --> 00:14:06.959
 he has

00:14:06.959 --> 00:14:07.659
 for us

00:14:07.659 --> 00:14:09.639
 now let's

00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:10.360
 go back

00:14:10.360 --> 00:14:11.019
 for just

00:14:11.019 --> 00:14:11.419
 a moment

00:14:11.419 --> 00:14:12.639
 and let's

00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:13.039
 see where

00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:13.399
 Abram

00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:14.220
 came from

00:14:14.220 --> 00:14:15.200
 because

00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:16.060
 Genesis 11

00:14:16.060 --> 00:14:16.680
 verse 31

00:14:16.680 --> 00:14:17.100
 and 32

00:14:17.100 --> 00:14:17.779
 says this

00:14:17.779 --> 00:14:18.879
 Terah

00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:19.300
 took

00:14:19.300 --> 00:14:19.960
 Abram

00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:20.680
 his son

00:14:20.680 --> 00:14:22.279
 and Lot

00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:23.080
 the son

00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:23.879
 of Haran

00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:25.779
 his grandson

00:14:25.779 --> 00:14:27.460
 and Sarai

00:14:27.460 --> 00:14:28.320
 his daughter

00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:28.779
 in law

00:14:28.779 --> 00:14:29.980
 his son

00:14:29.980 --> 00:14:30.600
 Abram's

00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:31.080
 wife

00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:32.200
 and they

00:14:32.200 --> 00:14:32.899
 went forth

00:14:32.899 --> 00:14:33.500
 together

00:14:33.500 --> 00:14:34.879
 from Ur

00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:35.139
 of the

00:14:35.139 --> 00:14:35.879
 Chaldeans

00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:37.920
 to go

00:14:37.920 --> 00:14:38.360
 into the

00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:38.800
 land

00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:39.240
 of

00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:40.500
 Canaan

00:14:40.500 --> 00:14:42.079
 now

00:14:42.079 --> 00:14:43.000
 let me

00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:43.379
 pause

00:14:43.379 --> 00:14:43.699
 there

00:14:43.699 --> 00:14:45.120
 if you

00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:45.240
 know

00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:45.539
 anything

00:14:45.539 --> 00:14:45.839
 about

00:14:45.839 --> 00:14:46.039
 Old

00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:46.359
 Testament

00:14:46.359 --> 00:14:46.859
 history

00:14:46.859 --> 00:14:47.319
 you may

00:14:47.319 --> 00:14:47.479
 have

00:14:47.479 --> 00:14:47.639
 heard

00:14:47.639 --> 00:14:47.899
 of the

00:14:47.899 --> 00:14:48.579
 Chaldeans

00:14:48.579 --> 00:14:49.319
 or if

00:14:49.319 --> 00:14:50.000
 mispronounced

00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:50.819
 the Chaldeans

00:14:50.819 --> 00:14:51.399
 whatever you

00:14:51.399 --> 00:14:51.620
 want to

00:14:51.620 --> 00:14:52.019
 call them

00:14:52.019 --> 00:14:53.279
 but you

00:14:53.279 --> 00:14:53.599
 may have

00:14:53.599 --> 00:14:53.919
 heard of

00:14:53.919 --> 00:14:54.179
 them

00:14:54.179 --> 00:14:55.000
 they are

00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:55.859
 a ruthless

00:14:55.859 --> 00:14:57.319
 bunch

00:14:57.319 --> 00:14:59.439
 godless

00:14:59.439 --> 00:15:01.240
 known

00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:01.839
 for it

00:15:01.839 --> 00:15:04.019
 they're not

00:15:04.019 --> 00:15:04.459
 just hanging

00:15:04.459 --> 00:15:04.779
 out there

00:15:04.779 --> 00:15:05.579
 that's where

00:15:05.580 --> 00:15:06.100
 they're from

00:15:06.100 --> 00:15:08.460
 so we're

00:15:08.460 --> 00:15:08.860
 not talking

00:15:08.860 --> 00:15:09.440
 about a

00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:10.100
 saintly

00:15:10.100 --> 00:15:11.220
 godly

00:15:11.220 --> 00:15:12.080
 heritage

00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:12.580
 here

00:15:12.580 --> 00:15:14.080
 we're talking

00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:14.639
 about somebody

00:15:14.639 --> 00:15:15.060
 who's lived

00:15:15.060 --> 00:15:15.259
 in the

00:15:15.259 --> 00:15:15.620
 enemy's

00:15:15.620 --> 00:15:15.800
 land

00:15:15.800 --> 00:15:16.259
 and been

00:15:16.259 --> 00:15:16.680
 one of

00:15:16.680 --> 00:15:16.860
 them

00:15:16.860 --> 00:15:20.180
 he travels

00:15:20.180 --> 00:15:20.580
 out

00:15:20.580 --> 00:15:22.220
 to go

00:15:22.220 --> 00:15:22.440
 to the

00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:22.780
 land of

00:15:22.780 --> 00:15:23.120
 Canaan

00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:24.860
 but when

00:15:24.860 --> 00:15:25.720
 they came

00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:26.720
 to Haran

00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:29.020
 they settled

00:15:29.020 --> 00:15:29.480
 there

00:15:29.480 --> 00:15:31.480
 if you're

00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:32.060
 an underliner

00:15:32.060 --> 00:15:32.700
 that's a good

00:15:32.700 --> 00:15:33.060
 place to

00:15:33.060 --> 00:15:33.480
 underline

00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:35.120
 they settled

00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:35.440
 there

00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:37.279
 the days

00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:37.759
 of terror

00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:38.879
 were 205

00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:39.240
 years

00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:39.779
 and terror

00:15:39.779 --> 00:15:40.500
 died

00:15:40.500 --> 00:15:42.100
 in Haran

00:15:42.100 --> 00:15:43.600
 so I want

00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:43.920
 you to get

00:15:43.920 --> 00:15:44.240
 this

00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:46.700
 they started

00:15:46.700 --> 00:15:47.560
 on their

00:15:47.560 --> 00:15:48.340
 way to

00:15:48.340 --> 00:15:49.100
 where God

00:15:49.100 --> 00:15:49.700
 would do

00:15:49.700 --> 00:15:50.259
 a mighty

00:15:50.259 --> 00:15:50.980
 work in

00:15:50.980 --> 00:15:51.620
 their life

00:15:51.620 --> 00:15:52.019
 but they

00:15:52.019 --> 00:15:52.460
 didn't get

00:15:52.460 --> 00:15:52.860
 there

00:15:52.860 --> 00:15:56.240
 they stopped

00:15:56.240 --> 00:15:56.759
 halfway

00:15:56.759 --> 00:15:59.080
 they stopped

00:15:59.080 --> 00:15:59.720
 at Haran

00:15:59.720 --> 00:16:00.159
 which would

00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:00.659
 look like a

00:16:00.659 --> 00:16:01.019
 good place

00:16:01.019 --> 00:16:01.560
 to stop

00:16:01.560 --> 00:16:02.720
 it's a good

00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:03.460
 stopping point

00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:05.139
 when we

00:16:05.139 --> 00:16:05.920
 would travel

00:16:05.920 --> 00:16:06.600
 from Mississippi

00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:07.639
 to South

00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:08.180
 Carolina

00:16:08.180 --> 00:16:09.639
 again and

00:16:09.639 --> 00:16:10.000
 again

00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:11.320
 after they

00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:11.620
 built

00:16:11.620 --> 00:16:12.340
 Buc-ee's

00:16:12.340 --> 00:16:12.980
 outside of

00:16:12.980 --> 00:16:13.360
 Birmingham

00:16:13.360 --> 00:16:13.920
 it's a good

00:16:13.920 --> 00:16:14.240
 place to

00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:14.560
 stop

00:16:14.560 --> 00:16:15.960
 you know

00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:17.080
 not only do

00:16:17.080 --> 00:16:17.340
 you have

00:16:17.340 --> 00:16:18.560
 250 gas

00:16:18.560 --> 00:16:18.860
 pumps

00:16:18.860 --> 00:16:19.100
 you got

00:16:19.100 --> 00:16:19.560
 the cleanest

00:16:19.560 --> 00:16:20.060
 restrooms

00:16:20.060 --> 00:16:20.659
 in America

00:16:20.659 --> 00:16:22.139
 and they are

00:16:22.139 --> 00:16:22.840
 cutting brisket

00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:23.600
 all the time

00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:24.200
 it's a good

00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:24.539
 place to

00:16:24.539 --> 00:16:25.000
 stop

00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:27.720
 Haran felt

00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:28.180
 like that

00:16:28.180 --> 00:16:28.539
 it's like

00:16:28.539 --> 00:16:29.019
 the Buc-ee

00:16:29.019 --> 00:16:29.920
 that's going

00:16:29.920 --> 00:16:30.300
 too far

00:16:30.300 --> 00:16:30.659
 but anyway

00:16:30.659 --> 00:16:33.259
 it felt

00:16:33.259 --> 00:16:34.000
 like that

00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:36.659
 it was

00:16:36.659 --> 00:16:37.100
 thought of

00:16:37.100 --> 00:16:37.659
 as a

00:16:37.659 --> 00:16:39.459
 promising

00:16:39.459 --> 00:16:39.779
 land

00:16:39.779 --> 00:16:40.399
 in itself

00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:43.439
 now I want

00:16:43.439 --> 00:16:43.740
 you to get

00:16:43.740 --> 00:16:43.939
 this

00:16:43.939 --> 00:16:45.399
 Abram didn't

00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:46.059
 leave his

00:16:46.059 --> 00:16:46.879
 father he

00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:47.399
 brought some

00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:47.980
 family with

00:16:47.980 --> 00:16:48.199
 him

00:16:48.199 --> 00:16:51.740
 and he

00:16:51.740 --> 00:16:51.980
 stopped

00:16:51.980 --> 00:16:52.600
 halfway to

00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:52.799
 where he

00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:53.079
 was supposed

00:16:53.079 --> 00:16:53.539
 to go

00:16:53.539 --> 00:16:55.299
 and interestingly

00:16:55.299 --> 00:16:55.819
 enough

00:16:55.819 --> 00:16:56.959
 Haran was a

00:16:56.959 --> 00:16:58.000
 key city

00:16:58.000 --> 00:16:58.720
 on a trade

00:16:58.720 --> 00:16:58.980
 route

00:16:58.980 --> 00:16:59.779
 influenced by

00:16:59.779 --> 00:17:00.379
 the surrounding

00:17:00.379 --> 00:17:01.019
 cities of

00:17:01.019 --> 00:17:01.679
 Damascus

00:17:01.679 --> 00:17:02.879
 and Nineveh

00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:04.000
 and it was

00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:05.059
 probably a place

00:17:05.059 --> 00:17:05.799
 of abundance

00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:06.440
 and an

00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:07.019
 opportunity

00:17:07.019 --> 00:17:08.559
 to be rich

00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:10.579
 good place

00:17:10.579 --> 00:17:11.160
 to stop

00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:14.539
 it was also

00:17:14.539 --> 00:17:15.680
 one of two

00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:16.839
 key places

00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:17.660
 of worship

00:17:17.660 --> 00:17:19.059
 for those

00:17:19.059 --> 00:17:20.140
 who worshipped

00:17:20.140 --> 00:17:20.900
 the moon

00:17:20.900 --> 00:17:21.380
 god

00:17:21.380 --> 00:17:22.960
 I've already

00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:23.440
 told you about

00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:24.000
 that before

00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:25.740
 whose name

00:17:25.740 --> 00:17:26.180
 was

00:17:26.180 --> 00:17:28.500
 five of

00:17:28.500 --> 00:17:28.680
 you are

00:17:28.680 --> 00:17:28.980
 listening

00:17:28.980 --> 00:17:30.900
 sin

00:17:30.900 --> 00:17:33.980
 there were

00:17:33.980 --> 00:17:35.400
 two main

00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:36.420
 spots

00:17:36.420 --> 00:17:38.279
 Ur of the

00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:38.920
 Chaldeans

00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:40.039
 and Haran

00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:42.500
 and that was

00:17:42.500 --> 00:17:42.960
 where the two

00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:43.680
 temples were

00:17:43.680 --> 00:17:45.160
 for the moon

00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:45.799
 god's sin

00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:46.420
 and that's

00:17:46.420 --> 00:17:46.779
 where they

00:17:46.779 --> 00:17:47.440
 stopped

00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:50.759
 chapter 12

00:17:50.759 --> 00:17:51.480
 sounds like

00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:52.019
 the call of

00:17:52.019 --> 00:17:52.660
 god came

00:17:52.660 --> 00:17:53.180
 to him

00:17:53.180 --> 00:17:54.859
 after they

00:17:54.859 --> 00:17:55.500
 were already

00:17:55.500 --> 00:17:56.199
 in Haran

00:17:56.199 --> 00:17:56.719
 but that's

00:17:56.719 --> 00:17:57.159
 not really

00:17:57.159 --> 00:17:57.819
 the case

00:17:57.819 --> 00:17:59.379
 Stephen

00:17:59.379 --> 00:17:59.759
 in his

00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:00.319
 powerful

00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:00.979
 gospel

00:18:00.979 --> 00:18:01.819
 oriented

00:18:01.819 --> 00:18:02.439
 speech

00:18:02.439 --> 00:18:02.939
 in Acts

00:18:02.939 --> 00:18:03.659
 chapter 7

00:18:03.659 --> 00:18:04.240
 tells us

00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:04.939
 that God

00:18:04.939 --> 00:18:05.959
 told Abraham

00:18:05.959 --> 00:18:06.659
 to leave

00:18:06.659 --> 00:18:07.199
 before he

00:18:07.199 --> 00:18:07.939
 ever left

00:18:07.939 --> 00:18:08.679
 Ur of the

00:18:08.679 --> 00:18:09.299
 Chaldeans

00:18:09.299 --> 00:18:12.059
 so Abram

00:18:12.059 --> 00:18:12.619
 did not

00:18:12.619 --> 00:18:13.179
 leave his

00:18:13.179 --> 00:18:13.859
 family as

00:18:13.859 --> 00:18:14.119
 he was

00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:14.439
 told

00:18:14.439 --> 00:18:15.639
 and then

00:18:15.639 --> 00:18:15.939
 he only

00:18:15.939 --> 00:18:16.219
 went

00:18:16.219 --> 00:18:16.740
 halfway

00:18:16.740 --> 00:18:17.159
 to where

00:18:17.159 --> 00:18:17.479
 God

00:18:17.479 --> 00:18:18.079
 led him

00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:18.779
 and he

00:18:18.779 --> 00:18:19.279
 probably

00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:19.959
 had some

00:18:19.959 --> 00:18:20.259
 mixed

00:18:20.259 --> 00:18:20.639
 motives

00:18:20.639 --> 00:18:21.079
 along the

00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:21.379
 way

00:18:21.379 --> 00:18:22.459
 they

00:18:22.459 --> 00:18:22.879
 stopped

00:18:22.879 --> 00:18:23.459
 at Haran

00:18:23.459 --> 00:18:24.299
 a supposedly

00:18:24.299 --> 00:18:25.319
 prosperous

00:18:25.319 --> 00:18:26.099
 place

00:18:26.099 --> 00:18:27.339
 but ironically

00:18:27.339 --> 00:18:28.079
 the meaning

00:18:28.079 --> 00:18:28.779
 of the word

00:18:28.779 --> 00:18:29.339
 in Hebrew

00:18:29.339 --> 00:18:29.759
 Haran

00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:30.839
 is parched

00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:34.180
 so what

00:18:34.180 --> 00:18:34.619
 he thought

00:18:34.619 --> 00:18:35.419
 was promising

00:18:35.419 --> 00:18:36.700
 was not

00:18:36.700 --> 00:18:37.619
 it was actually

00:18:37.619 --> 00:18:38.440
 parched

00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:39.759
 dry

00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:41.139
 and spiritually

00:18:41.139 --> 00:18:42.379
 fruitless

00:18:42.379 --> 00:18:43.299
 now to me

00:18:43.299 --> 00:18:43.779
 Haran

00:18:43.779 --> 00:18:44.579
 symbolizes

00:18:44.579 --> 00:18:46.000
 when we

00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:46.299
 do it

00:18:46.299 --> 00:18:46.879
 our way

00:18:46.879 --> 00:18:48.440
 when we

00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:48.839
 go with

00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:49.099
 God

00:18:49.099 --> 00:18:49.879
 just long

00:18:49.879 --> 00:18:50.359
 enough

00:18:50.359 --> 00:18:51.940
 to where

00:18:51.940 --> 00:18:52.460
 it starts

00:18:52.460 --> 00:18:52.799
 to get

00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:53.319
 uncomfortable

00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:55.119
 or when

00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:55.500
 we go

00:18:55.500 --> 00:18:55.700
 with

00:18:55.700 --> 00:18:55.960
 God

00:18:55.960 --> 00:18:56.679
 just

00:18:56.679 --> 00:18:57.019
 enough

00:18:57.019 --> 00:18:57.339
 when

00:18:57.339 --> 00:18:57.519
 we're

00:18:57.519 --> 00:18:57.859
 going

00:18:57.859 --> 00:18:58.119
 to

00:18:58.119 --> 00:18:58.519
 worship

00:18:58.519 --> 00:18:59.539
 instead

00:18:59.539 --> 00:18:59.740
 of

00:18:59.740 --> 00:19:00.279
 worshiping

00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:01.700
 and there

00:19:01.700 --> 00:19:01.980
 is a

00:19:01.980 --> 00:19:02.399
 difference

00:19:02.399 --> 00:19:05.220
 it's that

00:19:05.220 --> 00:19:05.679
 religion

00:19:05.679 --> 00:19:06.019
 without

00:19:06.019 --> 00:19:06.759
 change

00:19:06.759 --> 00:19:07.059
 instead

00:19:07.059 --> 00:19:07.519
 of life

00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:07.899
 changing

00:19:07.899 --> 00:19:08.480
 religion

00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:09.279
 it's

00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:09.539
 doing

00:19:09.539 --> 00:19:10.039
 things

00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:10.700
 halfway

00:19:10.700 --> 00:19:13.379
 and I'm

00:19:13.379 --> 00:19:13.740
 not going

00:19:13.740 --> 00:19:14.079
 to tell

00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:14.279
 you

00:19:14.279 --> 00:19:15.159
 what my

00:19:15.159 --> 00:19:15.500
 high school

00:19:15.500 --> 00:19:15.859
 football

00:19:15.859 --> 00:19:16.119
 coach

00:19:16.119 --> 00:19:16.399
 called

00:19:16.399 --> 00:19:16.639
 that

00:19:16.640 --> 00:19:19.240
 it's

00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:19.480
 not

00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:19.740
 getting

00:19:19.740 --> 00:19:19.900
 it

00:19:19.900 --> 00:19:20.200
 done

00:19:20.200 --> 00:19:22.780
 and let

00:19:22.780 --> 00:19:23.020
 me be

00:19:23.020 --> 00:19:23.280
 very

00:19:23.280 --> 00:19:23.700
 clear

00:19:23.700 --> 00:19:25.560
 I

00:19:25.560 --> 00:19:25.880
 believe

00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:26.300
 anything

00:19:26.300 --> 00:19:26.820
 that we

00:19:26.820 --> 00:19:27.020
 do

00:19:27.020 --> 00:19:27.600
 individually

00:19:27.600 --> 00:19:28.020
 for the

00:19:28.020 --> 00:19:28.180
 Lord

00:19:28.180 --> 00:19:28.480
 Jesus

00:19:28.480 --> 00:19:29.040
 Christ

00:19:29.040 --> 00:19:29.940
 we

00:19:29.940 --> 00:19:30.200
 shouldn't

00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:30.440
 do it

00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:30.780
 halfway

00:19:30.780 --> 00:19:32.140
 we ought

00:19:32.140 --> 00:19:32.300
 to do

00:19:32.300 --> 00:19:32.560
 it all

00:19:32.560 --> 00:19:32.960
 the way

00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:34.200
 and pick

00:19:34.780 --> 00:19:35.220
 church

00:19:35.220 --> 00:19:36.040
 as a

00:19:36.040 --> 00:19:36.340
 church

00:19:36.340 --> 00:19:36.880
 of Jesus

00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:37.400
 Christ

00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:37.820
 committed

00:19:37.820 --> 00:19:38.180
 to the

00:19:38.180 --> 00:19:38.480
 cause

00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:38.640
 of

00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:38.960
 Christ

00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:39.420
 I

00:19:39.420 --> 00:19:39.640
 don't

00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:39.900
 think

00:19:39.900 --> 00:19:40.380
 anything

 halfway

00:19:42.019 --> 00:19:43.220
 I

00:19:43.220 --> 00:19:43.500
 believe

 give

00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:48.180
 it

00:19:48.180 --> 00:19:48.539
 everything

00:19:48.539 --> 00:19:48.839

00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:49.220
 got

00:19:49.220 --> 00:19:49.779

 be

00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:05.379
 fruitful

00:20:05.379 --> 00:20:07.519
 it's

00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:07.660
 not

00:20:07.660 --> 00:20:07.859
 like

 it's

00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:11.860
 not

00:20:11.860 --> 00:20:12.259
 fruitful

00:20:12.259 --> 00:20:13.520
 you'll

00:20:13.520 --> 00:20:13.759
 spend

00:20:13.759 --> 00:20:14.140
 way

00:20:14.140 --> 00:20:14.420
 too

00:20:14.420 --> 00:20:14.700
 much

00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:26.600
 moved

00:20:26.600 --> 00:20:27.040
 on

 most

00:20:33.520 --> 00:20:35.720
 sometimes

00:20:35.720 --> 00:20:36.060
 the

 transitions

00:20:39.180 --> 00:20:39.540
 things

00:20:39.540 --> 00:20:39.700
 that

00:20:39.700 --> 00:20:39.940
 God

00:20:39.940 --> 00:20:40.180
 can

00:20:40.180 --> 00:20:40.480
 use

00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:40.840
 to

00:20:40.840 --> 00:20:41.259
 propel

00:20:41.259 --> 00:20:41.460
 you

00:20:41.460 --> 00:20:41.600
 to

00:20:43.279 --> 00:20:43.420
 is

00:20:43.420 --> 00:20:43.640
 more

00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:44.059
 important

00:20:44.059 --> 00:20:44.299
 to

 you

00:20:44.539 --> 00:20:44.860
 or

 whose

00:20:45.100 --> 00:20:45.480
 opinion

00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:45.840
 weighs

00:20:45.840 --> 00:20:46.100
 out

00:20:46.100 --> 00:20:46.460
 more

00:20:46.460 --> 00:20:46.799

 you

00:20:49.559 --> 00:20:49.900
 and

00:20:49.900 --> 00:20:50.019
 it

00:20:50.019 --> 00:20:50.180
 is

00:20:50.180 --> 00:20:50.400
 not

00:20:54.960 --> 00:20:55.420
 it

00:20:55.420 --> 00:20:55.579
 is

00:20:55.579 --> 00:20:55.759
 not

 that

00:20:55.940 --> 00:20:56.380
 person's

00:20:57.940 --> 00:20:58.279
 because

00:20:58.279 --> 00:20:58.539
 we

00:20:58.539 --> 00:20:58.960
 have

00:20:58.960 --> 00:20:59.140
 to

 give

 up

00:20:59.500 --> 00:20:59.740
 those

00:20:59.740 --> 00:20:59.920
 idols

00:20:59.920 --> 00:21:00.240
 we

00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:00.500
 must

00:21:00.500 --> 00:21:01.019
 remove

00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:02.819
 the

00:21:02.819 --> 00:21:03.140
 place

00:21:03.140 --> 00:21:03.480
 that

00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:03.740
 God

00:21:03.740 --> 00:21:03.900
 would

00:21:03.900 --> 00:21:04.180
 have

 us

00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:04.559
 to

00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:04.740

00:21:05.559 --> 00:21:05.720
 be

00:21:05.720 --> 00:21:06.200
 used

00:21:06.200 --> 00:21:06.500
 of

00:21:06.500 --> 00:21:06.819
 God

00:21:06.819 --> 00:21:07.299
 we've

00:21:07.299 --> 00:21:07.519
 got

00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:07.740

 the

00:21:09.059 --> 00:21:09.299
 only

00:21:09.299 --> 00:21:09.519
 way

00:21:09.519 --> 00:21:09.680
 we

00:21:09.680 --> 00:21:09.839
 can

00:21:09.839 --> 00:21:10.019
 do

00:21:10.019 --> 00:21:10.279
 that

00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:10.660
 is

00:21:10.660 --> 00:21:10.819
 to

 step

00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:11.360
 out

00:21:11.360 --> 00:21:11.480
 of

00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:11.660
 our

00:21:13.640 --> 00:21:14.640
 God

00:21:14.640 --> 00:21:15.000
 for

00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:15.259
 what

00:21:15.259 --> 00:21:15.460
 he

00:21:15.460 --> 00:21:15.839
 has

00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:16.079
 for

00:21:16.079 --> 00:21:16.539
 us

00:21:16.539 --> 00:21:19.539
 and

00:21:19.539 --> 00:21:19.660
 then

00:21:19.660 --> 00:21:20.140
 also

00:21:20.140 --> 00:21:22.339
 to

00:21:22.339 --> 00:21:22.660
 let

00:21:22.660 --> 00:21:22.960
 God

00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:23.259
 have

00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:25.380
 in

00:21:25.380 --> 00:21:25.559
 our

00:21:25.559 --> 00:21:26.000
 life

00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:28.579
 now

00:21:28.579 --> 00:21:29.220
 somebody

00:21:29.220 --> 00:21:29.539
 is

00:21:29.539 --> 00:21:29.660
 going

00:21:30.019 --> 00:21:30.240
 me

00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:30.860
 afterwards

00:21:30.860 --> 00:21:31.220
 about

00:21:31.220 --> 00:21:31.460
 the

00:21:31.460 --> 00:21:31.839
 sovereignty

00:21:31.839 --> 00:21:32.099
 of

00:21:32.099 --> 00:21:32.440

00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:33.880
 I

00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:34.259
 agree

00:21:34.259 --> 00:21:35.480
 he

00:21:35.480 --> 00:21:35.640
 can

00:21:35.640 --> 00:21:35.799
 do

00:21:35.799 --> 00:21:36.140
 anything

00:21:36.140 --> 00:21:36.400

00:21:36.400 --> 00:21:36.880
 wants

00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:37.700

00:21:37.980 --> 00:21:38.360
 true

00:21:38.360 --> 00:21:39.779
 but

00:21:39.779 --> 00:21:39.920

00:21:43.480 --> 00:21:43.580
 he

00:21:43.580 --> 00:21:43.779
 doesn't

00:21:43.779 --> 00:21:44.080
 force

00:21:44.080 --> 00:21:44.240
 his

00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:44.559
 way

00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:47.019
 he

00:21:47.019 --> 00:21:47.299
 gives

00:21:47.299 --> 00:21:47.460
 us

00:21:47.460 --> 00:21:47.620
 a

00:21:47.620 --> 00:21:48.140

00:21:48.140 --> 00:21:51.000

 initiates

00:21:51.779 --> 00:21:52.039
 it

 when

00:21:55.860 --> 00:21:56.160

00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:26.660
 sounds

00:22:26.660 --> 00:22:27.559
 impossible

00:22:27.559 --> 00:22:28.200
 because

 the man

 is 75

 has

00:22:33.099 --> 00:22:33.299
 been

00:22:33.299 --> 00:22:33.699
 barren

00:22:33.699 --> 00:22:33.919
 and

00:22:33.919 --> 00:22:34.079
 he

00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:34.399
 lives

00:22:34.399 --> 00:22:34.599
 in

00:22:34.599 --> 00:22:34.779
 a

00:22:34.779 --> 00:22:35.179
 barren

00:22:35.179 --> 00:22:36.139
 parched

00:22:36.139 --> 00:22:36.980
 land

00:22:36.980 --> 00:22:38.399
 not

00:22:38.819 --> 00:22:39.359
 great

 God

00:22:41.099 --> 00:22:41.559
 says

00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:42.359
 I'm

00:22:42.359 --> 00:22:42.419
 going

00:22:42.419 --> 00:22:42.460
 to

00:22:42.460 --> 00:22:42.639
 make

00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:43.339
 nation

00:22:43.339 --> 00:22:44.960
 but

00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:45.419
 God

00:22:45.419 --> 00:22:45.939
 says

00:22:45.939 --> 00:22:46.659
 I'm

00:22:46.659 --> 00:22:46.759

00:22:47.099 --> 00:22:47.379
 you

00:22:47.379 --> 00:22:48.500

00:22:48.500 --> 00:22:48.939
 God

00:22:48.939 --> 00:22:49.439
 says

00:22:49.439 --> 00:22:50.019
 I'll

00:22:50.019 --> 00:22:50.419

00:22:52.199 --> 00:22:54.619
 God

00:22:54.619 --> 00:22:54.899
 does

00:22:54.899 --> 00:22:55.079
 the

00:22:55.079 --> 00:22:55.480
 work

00:22:55.480 --> 00:22:56.960
 when

00:22:56.960 --> 00:22:57.119
 we

00:22:57.119 --> 00:22:57.359
 walk

00:22:57.359 --> 00:22:57.579
 by

00:22:57.579 --> 00:22:57.859
 faith

00:22:57.859 --> 00:23:00.119
 he

00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:00.399
 also

00:23:00.399 --> 00:23:00.740
 spoke

00:23:00.740 --> 00:23:00.919
 of

00:23:00.919 --> 00:23:01.459
 protecting

00:23:01.459 --> 00:23:01.919
 him

00:23:01.919 --> 00:23:02.419
 he

00:23:02.419 --> 00:23:02.819
 also

00:23:02.819 --> 00:23:03.339
 spoke

00:23:03.339 --> 00:23:03.519
 of

00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:03.839
 blessing

00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:04.279
 people

00:23:04.279 --> 00:23:04.699
 through

00:23:04.699 --> 00:23:05.139
 him

00:23:05.139 --> 00:23:05.759
 if I

00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:06.119
 understand

00:23:06.119 --> 00:23:06.359
 that

00:23:06.359 --> 00:23:06.779
 correctly

00:23:06.779 --> 00:23:07.679
 all the

 be

00:23:09.059 --> 00:23:09.259
 blessed

00:23:09.259 --> 00:23:09.559
 that

00:23:09.559 --> 00:23:09.839
 sounds

00:23:09.839 --> 00:23:10.059
 like

00:23:10.059 --> 00:23:10.339
 us

00:23:10.339 --> 00:23:10.799
 folks

00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:12.559
 that

00:23:12.559 --> 00:23:12.839
 we're

00:23:12.839 --> 00:23:13.379
 blessed

00:23:13.379 --> 00:23:16.119
 because

00:23:16.119 --> 00:23:16.479
 somebody

00:23:16.479 --> 00:23:16.919
 thousands

00:23:16.919 --> 00:23:17.379
 of years

00:23:17.379 --> 00:23:17.619
 ago

00:23:17.619 --> 00:23:18.059
 walked

00:23:18.059 --> 00:23:18.779
 by

00:23:18.779 --> 00:23:19.279
 faith

00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:20.240
 with

00:23:20.240 --> 00:23:20.659
 God

00:23:20.659 --> 00:23:23.439
 none

00:23:23.439 --> 00:23:23.839
 of that

00:23:23.839 --> 00:23:24.019
 is

00:23:24.019 --> 00:23:24.539
 possible

00:23:24.539 --> 00:23:25.859
 until

00:23:25.859 --> 00:23:26.159
 we

00:23:26.159 --> 00:23:26.579
 surrender

00:23:26.579 --> 00:23:27.039
 go all

00:23:27.039 --> 00:23:27.259
 the way

00:23:27.259 --> 00:23:27.519
 with the

00:23:27.519 --> 00:23:27.779
 Lord

00:23:27.779 --> 00:23:28.440
 and

00:23:28.440 --> 00:23:28.579
 when

00:23:28.579 --> 00:23:28.759
 we

00:23:28.759 --> 00:23:28.899
 do

00:23:28.899 --> 00:23:29.059
 the

00:23:29.059 --> 00:23:29.519
 potential

00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:29.859
 is

00:23:29.859 --> 00:23:30.279
 beyond

00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:30.599
 our

00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:31.279
 imagination

00:23:31.279 --> 00:23:33.920
 but

 you

00:23:34.019 --> 00:23:34.180
 say

00:23:34.639 --> 00:23:35.559
 I

00:23:35.559 --> 00:23:35.799
 would

00:23:35.799 --> 00:23:36.079
 commit

00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:36.259
 but

 I

00:23:36.399 --> 00:23:36.519
 don't

 what's

00:23:43.079 --> 00:23:43.319
 coming

00:23:43.319 --> 00:23:43.519
 is

00:23:43.519 --> 00:23:43.660
 the

00:23:43.660 --> 00:23:43.839
 one

00:23:43.839 --> 00:23:44.000
 who

 the

00:23:46.859 --> 00:23:47.000
 one

00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:47.139
 that

 empower

 don't

00:23:53.899 --> 00:23:54.139
 know

00:23:54.140 --> 00:23:54.340
 if

00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:56.360
 tell

 you

00:23:56.680 --> 00:23:57.220
 you

00:24:01.120 --> 00:24:02.520
 that's

00:24:02.520 --> 00:24:02.700
 why

00:24:02.700 --> 00:24:03.140
 God

00:24:17.779 --> 00:24:17.940
 is

00:24:17.940 --> 00:24:18.240
 not

00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:18.519
 until

00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:18.759
 we

00:24:18.759 --> 00:24:19.220
 sacrifice

00:24:19.220 --> 00:24:19.619
 our

00:24:20.960 --> 00:24:21.200
 ever

00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:21.519
 tap

00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:21.700
 into

00:24:21.700 --> 00:24:21.900
 what

00:24:21.900 --> 00:24:22.160
 God

00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:22.500
 really

00:24:22.500 --> 00:24:22.980
 has

00:24:22.980 --> 00:24:23.259
 for

00:24:23.259 --> 00:24:23.680
 us

00:24:23.680 --> 00:24:25.119
 and

00:24:25.119 --> 00:24:25.240
 I

00:24:25.240 --> 00:24:25.400
 will

00:24:25.400 --> 00:24:25.660
 tell

00:24:25.660 --> 00:24:26.079
 you

00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:28.720
 in

00:24:28.720 --> 00:24:29.240
 Haran

00:24:29.240 --> 00:24:30.920
 Abraham

00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:31.279
 didn't

00:24:31.279 --> 00:24:31.539
 tap

00:24:31.539 --> 00:24:31.779
 into

00:24:31.779 --> 00:24:32.079
 it

00:24:32.079 --> 00:24:35.259
 it

00:24:35.259 --> 00:24:35.519
 wasn't

00:24:35.519 --> 00:24:35.799
 until

00:24:35.799 --> 00:24:35.960
 there

00:24:35.960 --> 00:24:36.140
 was

00:24:36.140 --> 00:24:36.279
 a

00:24:36.279 --> 00:24:36.680
 death

00:24:36.680 --> 00:24:37.400
 and

00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:37.539
 a

00:24:37.539 --> 00:24:38.099
 transition

00:24:38.099 --> 00:24:39.380
 that

00:24:39.380 --> 00:24:39.700
 Abram

00:24:39.700 --> 00:24:40.059
 really

00:24:40.059 --> 00:24:40.599
 found

 next

00:24:41.900 --> 00:24:42.259
 level

00:24:42.259 --> 00:24:43.339
 that's

00:24:43.339 --> 00:24:43.700
 a walk

00:24:43.700 --> 00:24:43.839
 of

00:24:43.839 --> 00:24:44.220
 faith

00:24:44.220 --> 00:24:48.079
 not

00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:48.299
 that

00:24:48.299 --> 00:24:48.460
 you

00:24:48.460 --> 00:24:48.839
 know

00:24:48.839 --> 00:24:49.799
 what's

00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:50.799
 on

00:24:50.799 --> 00:24:51.240
 life's

00:24:51.240 --> 00:24:51.600
 path

00:24:51.600 --> 00:24:51.839
 ahead

00:25:11.700 --> 00:25:11.819
 you

00:25:11.819 --> 00:25:12.039
 can

00:25:16.139 --> 00:25:21.139
 there

 was a

00:25:21.460 --> 00:25:21.779
 letter

00:25:21.779 --> 00:25:25.039
 a note

00:25:25.039 --> 00:25:26.220
 more so

00:25:26.220 --> 00:25:29.119
 found in

 the office

00:25:29.839 --> 00:25:30.480
 of a young

00:25:30.480 --> 00:25:31.379
 pastor in

00:25:31.379 --> 00:25:32.779
 Zimbabwe a few

00:25:32.779 --> 00:25:33.379
 years ago

00:25:33.379 --> 00:25:35.819
 and it

00:25:35.819 --> 00:25:36.480
 said this

00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:39.620
 I'm part

00:25:39.620 --> 00:25:39.860
 of the

00:25:39.860 --> 00:25:40.299
 fellowship

00:25:40.299 --> 00:25:40.819
 of the

00:25:40.819 --> 00:25:41.660
 unashamed

00:25:41.660 --> 00:25:43.220
 I have

00:25:43.220 --> 00:25:43.700
 the Holy

00:25:43.700 --> 00:25:44.140
 Spirit

00:25:44.140 --> 00:25:44.700
 power

00:25:44.700 --> 00:25:45.779
 the die

00:25:45.779 --> 00:25:46.440
 has been

00:25:46.440 --> 00:25:46.960
 cast

00:25:46.960 --> 00:25:47.759
 I've

00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:47.980
 stepped

00:25:47.980 --> 00:25:48.360
 over the

00:25:48.360 --> 00:25:48.779
 line

00:25:48.779 --> 00:25:50.019
 the decision

00:25:50.019 --> 00:25:50.519
 has been

00:25:50.519 --> 00:25:50.900
 made

00:25:50.900 --> 00:25:51.339
 I'm a

00:25:51.339 --> 00:25:51.700
 disciple

00:25:51.700 --> 00:25:52.220
 of his

00:25:52.220 --> 00:25:53.339
 I won't

00:25:53.339 --> 00:25:54.000
 look back

00:25:54.000 --> 00:25:54.880
 I won't

00:25:54.880 --> 00:25:55.480
 let up

00:25:55.480 --> 00:25:56.400
 I won't

00:25:56.400 --> 00:25:57.160
 slow down

00:25:57.160 --> 00:25:58.019
 I won't

00:25:58.019 --> 00:25:58.819
 back away

00:25:58.819 --> 00:25:59.660
 or I won't

00:25:59.660 --> 00:26:00.240
 be still

00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:01.720
 my past

00:26:01.720 --> 00:26:02.500
 is redeemed

00:26:02.500 --> 00:26:03.720
 my present

00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:04.500
 makes sense

00:26:04.500 --> 00:26:05.140
 my future

00:26:05.140 --> 00:26:05.799
 is secure

00:26:05.799 --> 00:26:07.019
 I'm

00:26:07.019 --> 00:26:07.500
 finished

00:26:07.500 --> 00:26:08.200
 and done

00:26:08.200 --> 00:26:08.720
 with low

00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:09.119
 living

00:26:09.119 --> 00:26:10.819
 sight walking

00:26:10.819 --> 00:26:12.919
 smooth knees

00:26:12.919 --> 00:26:14.139
 colorless

00:26:14.139 --> 00:26:14.839
 dreams

00:26:14.839 --> 00:26:15.539
 tamed

00:26:15.539 --> 00:26:16.339
 colorless

00:26:16.339 --> 00:26:16.759
 dreams

00:26:16.759 --> 00:26:17.220
 and tame

00:26:17.220 --> 00:26:17.740
 visions

00:26:17.740 --> 00:26:19.039
 worldly

00:26:19.039 --> 00:26:19.579
 talking

00:26:19.579 --> 00:26:20.180
 and cheap

00:26:20.180 --> 00:26:20.579
 giving

00:26:20.579 --> 00:26:21.200
 and dwarf

00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:21.799
 goals

00:26:21.799 --> 00:26:23.359
 I no longer

00:26:23.359 --> 00:26:23.819
 need

00:26:23.819 --> 00:26:24.700
 preeminence

00:26:24.700 --> 00:26:26.159
 prosperity

00:26:26.159 --> 00:26:27.839
 position

00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:29.559
 promotions

00:26:29.559 --> 00:26:30.779
 praise

00:26:30.779 --> 00:26:31.700
 or popularity

00:26:31.700 --> 00:26:32.879
 I don't

00:26:32.879 --> 00:26:33.399
 have to be

00:26:33.399 --> 00:26:33.899
 right

00:26:33.899 --> 00:26:35.319
 or first

00:26:35.319 --> 00:26:36.799
 are tops

00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:38.379
 are recognized

00:26:38.379 --> 00:26:39.839
 are praised

00:26:39.839 --> 00:26:41.099
 are regarded

00:26:41.099 --> 00:26:42.379
 are rewarded

00:26:42.379 --> 00:26:43.579
 I now live

00:26:43.579 --> 00:26:44.319
 by faith

00:26:44.319 --> 00:26:45.279
 I lean in

00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:46.059
 his presence

00:26:46.059 --> 00:26:47.079
 I walk

00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:47.980
 by patience

00:26:47.980 --> 00:26:48.960
 am lifted

00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:49.899
 up uplifted

00:26:49.899 --> 00:26:50.460
 by prayer

00:26:50.460 --> 00:26:51.119
 and I labor

00:26:51.119 --> 00:26:51.720
 with power

00:26:51.720 --> 00:26:52.399
 my face

00:26:52.399 --> 00:26:53.099
 is set

00:26:53.099 --> 00:26:54.439
 my gate

00:26:54.439 --> 00:26:55.220
 is fast

00:26:55.220 --> 00:26:56.500
 my goal

00:26:56.500 --> 00:26:57.059
 is heaven

00:26:57.059 --> 00:26:58.299
 my road

00:26:58.299 --> 00:26:58.899
 is narrow

00:26:58.899 --> 00:27:00.279
 my way

00:27:00.279 --> 00:27:00.960
 is rough

00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:02.439
 my companions

00:27:02.440 --> 00:27:03.039
 are few

00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:03.840
 my guide

00:27:03.840 --> 00:27:04.600
 is reliable

00:27:04.600 --> 00:27:05.460
 and my mission

00:27:05.460 --> 00:27:06.160
 is clear

00:27:06.160 --> 00:27:06.880
 I cannot

00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:07.720
 be bought

00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:09.279
 compromised

00:27:09.279 --> 00:27:10.960
 detoured

00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:12.400
 lured away

00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:13.720
 turned back

00:27:13.720 --> 00:27:14.519
 deluded

00:27:14.519 --> 00:27:15.299
 or delayed

00:27:15.299 --> 00:27:16.180
 I will not

00:27:16.180 --> 00:27:16.519
 flinch

00:27:16.519 --> 00:27:17.000
 in the face

00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:17.799
 of sacrifice

00:27:17.799 --> 00:27:18.700
 hesitate

00:27:18.700 --> 00:27:19.460
 in the presence

00:27:19.460 --> 00:27:20.100
 of the enemy

00:27:20.100 --> 00:27:21.240
 pander at the

00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:22.220
 pool of popularity

00:27:22.220 --> 00:27:23.140
 or meander

00:27:23.140 --> 00:27:23.779
 in the maze

00:27:23.779 --> 00:27:24.620
 of mediocrity

00:27:24.620 --> 00:27:25.460
 I will not

00:27:25.460 --> 00:27:26.000
 give up

00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:27.220
 shut up

00:27:27.220 --> 00:27:28.240
 let up

00:27:28.240 --> 00:27:29.059
 until I have

00:27:29.059 --> 00:27:29.680
 stayed up

00:27:29.680 --> 00:27:30.759
 stored up

00:27:30.759 --> 00:27:31.700
 prayed up

00:27:31.700 --> 00:27:32.579
 paid up

00:27:32.579 --> 00:27:33.519
 preached up

00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:34.379
 for the cause

00:27:34.379 --> 00:27:35.000
 of Christ

00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:36.240
 I am a disciple

00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:37.220
 of Jesus

00:27:37.220 --> 00:27:38.619
 I must go

00:27:38.619 --> 00:27:39.519
 till he comes

00:27:39.519 --> 00:27:41.279
 give till I drop

00:27:41.279 --> 00:27:43.180
 preach till all I know

00:27:43.180 --> 00:27:45.160
 and work till he stops me

00:27:45.160 --> 00:27:46.440
 and when he comes

00:27:46.440 --> 00:27:47.259
 for his own

00:27:47.259 --> 00:27:48.700
 he will have no problem

00:27:48.700 --> 00:27:49.740
 recognizing me

00:27:49.740 --> 00:27:51.259
 my banner

00:27:51.259 --> 00:27:53.279
 will be clear

00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:57.160
 they found that

00:27:57.160 --> 00:28:00.400
 in the desk

00:28:00.400 --> 00:28:02.420
 of a young

00:28:02.420 --> 00:28:03.720
 pastor in Zimbabwe

00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:06.400
 after he was

00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:07.120
 martyred for his

00:28:07.120 --> 00:28:07.519
 faith

00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:11.920
 God does not

00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:12.480
 want you

00:28:12.480 --> 00:28:13.780
 to die for him

00:28:13.780 --> 00:28:16.340
 he wants you

00:28:16.340 --> 00:28:17.220
 to live for him

00:28:17.220 --> 00:28:19.460
 and the only

00:28:19.460 --> 00:28:20.220
 way to do that

00:28:20.220 --> 00:28:22.220
 is to walk

00:28:22.220 --> 00:28:22.860
 by faith

00:28:22.860 --> 00:28:24.720
 go

00:28:24.720 --> 00:28:26.200
 and he'll

00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:26.780
 guide you

00:28:26.780 --> 00:28:29.019
 come

00:28:29.019 --> 00:28:30.940
 and he'll

00:28:30.940 --> 00:28:31.599
 lead you

00:28:31.599 --> 00:28:33.940
 with every

00:28:33.940 --> 00:28:35.240
 head bowed

00:28:35.240 --> 00:28:35.519
 and every

00:28:35.519 --> 00:28:36.139
 eye closed

00:28:36.139 --> 00:28:37.859
 I want to ask

00:28:37.859 --> 00:28:38.440
 you this morning

00:28:38.440 --> 00:28:40.299
 what is it

00:28:40.299 --> 00:28:40.819
 that's holding

00:28:40.819 --> 00:28:41.379
 you back

00:28:41.379 --> 00:28:41.940
 from giving

00:28:41.940 --> 00:28:42.359
 God

00:28:42.359 --> 00:28:42.819
 your very

00:28:42.819 --> 00:28:43.279
 best

00:28:43.279 --> 00:28:47.059
 primarily

00:28:47.059 --> 00:28:47.559
 has there

00:28:47.559 --> 00:28:47.940
 ever been

00:28:47.940 --> 00:28:48.299
 a time

00:28:48.299 --> 00:28:48.539
 in your

00:28:48.539 --> 00:28:48.879
 life

00:28:48.879 --> 00:28:49.200
 when you

00:28:49.200 --> 00:28:49.519
 surrendered

00:28:49.519 --> 00:28:50.000
 your life

00:28:50.000 --> 00:28:50.240
 to the

00:28:50.240 --> 00:28:50.400
 Lord

00:28:50.400 --> 00:28:50.680
 Jesus

00:28:50.680 --> 00:28:51.139
 Christ

00:28:51.139 --> 00:28:52.119
 when you

00:28:52.119 --> 00:28:52.319
 said

00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:52.500
 Lord

00:28:52.500 --> 00:28:53.079
 I know

00:28:53.079 --> 00:28:54.160
 that I'm

00:28:54.160 --> 00:28:54.539
 a sinner

00:28:54.539 --> 00:28:56.359
 I know

00:28:56.359 --> 00:28:56.839
 that I have

00:28:56.839 --> 00:28:57.440
 done wrong

00:28:57.440 --> 00:28:57.960
 and I know

00:28:57.960 --> 00:28:58.399
 that I need

00:28:58.399 --> 00:28:58.799
 forgiveness

00:28:58.799 --> 00:28:59.339
 from you

00:28:59.339 --> 00:29:00.019
 and I ask

00:29:00.019 --> 00:29:00.519
 you to come

00:29:00.519 --> 00:29:00.819
 into my

00:29:00.819 --> 00:29:01.240
 life

00:29:01.240 --> 00:29:01.920
 and to

00:29:01.920 --> 00:29:02.720
 change me

00:29:02.720 --> 00:29:03.220
 today

00:29:03.220 --> 00:29:04.379
 if that has

00:29:04.379 --> 00:29:05.099
 never happened

00:29:05.099 --> 00:29:05.339
 to you

00:29:05.339 --> 00:29:05.879
 I got good

00:29:05.879 --> 00:29:06.399
 news for you

00:29:06.399 --> 00:29:06.859
 today's the

00:29:06.859 --> 00:29:07.599
 day of salvation

00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:09.619
 we serve a God

00:29:09.619 --> 00:29:10.240
 that's the same

00:29:10.240 --> 00:29:11.000
 yesterday today

00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:11.599
 and forever

00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:12.779
 and he will

00:29:12.779 --> 00:29:13.700
 save you today

00:29:13.700 --> 00:29:14.960
 and if you feel

00:29:14.960 --> 00:29:15.720
 any impelling

00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:16.579
 toward that at all

00:29:16.579 --> 00:29:17.119
 I want you to know

00:29:17.119 --> 00:29:17.599
 you didn't come up

00:29:17.599 --> 00:29:18.079
 with that on your

00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:18.339
 own

00:29:18.339 --> 00:29:19.659
 he's guiding

00:29:19.659 --> 00:29:20.379
 you in that

00:29:20.380 --> 00:29:22.580
 this part of our

00:29:22.580 --> 00:29:24.060
 worship is designed

00:29:24.060 --> 00:29:25.160
 for you to respond

00:29:25.160 --> 00:29:25.600
 to him

00:29:25.600 --> 00:29:26.300
 and for us to

00:29:26.300 --> 00:29:26.820
 guide you

00:29:26.820 --> 00:29:27.560
 in that process

00:29:27.560 --> 00:29:29.280
 so as we stand

00:29:29.280 --> 00:29:30.080
 and sing in just a

00:29:30.080 --> 00:29:30.740
 moment I encourage

00:29:30.740 --> 00:29:31.140
 you to come

00:29:31.140 --> 00:29:32.060
 as God leads you

00:29:32.060 --> 00:29:34.080
 maybe you're here

00:29:34.080 --> 00:29:34.660
 and you do know

00:29:34.660 --> 00:29:35.240
 you're a Christian

00:29:35.240 --> 00:29:36.120
 but the reality is

00:29:36.120 --> 00:29:36.800
 your life does not

00:29:36.800 --> 00:29:37.300
 reflect it

00:29:37.300 --> 00:29:37.620
 or at least

00:29:37.620 --> 00:29:38.200
 there's parts of

00:29:38.200 --> 00:29:38.660
 your life that

00:29:38.660 --> 00:29:39.480
 don't reflect it

00:29:39.480 --> 00:29:42.040
 maybe you've

00:29:42.040 --> 00:29:42.740
 went halfway

00:29:42.740 --> 00:29:46.380
 maybe you've

00:29:46.380 --> 00:29:46.880
 not trusted

00:29:46.880 --> 00:29:47.320
 wholly

00:29:47.319 --> 00:29:50.379
 will you lay

00:29:50.379 --> 00:29:50.740
 that down

00:29:50.740 --> 00:29:51.159
 before the

00:29:51.159 --> 00:29:51.639
 Lord today

00:29:51.639 --> 00:29:53.379
 I'm here

00:29:53.379 --> 00:29:53.679
 to pray

00:29:53.679 --> 00:29:54.099
 for you

00:29:54.099 --> 00:29:54.779
 you may

00:29:54.779 --> 00:29:55.259
 use these

00:29:55.259 --> 00:29:55.619
 steps

00:29:55.619 --> 00:29:55.919
 as a

00:29:55.919 --> 00:29:56.299
 makeshift

00:29:56.299 --> 00:29:56.679
 altar

00:29:56.679 --> 00:29:57.700
 to lay

00:29:57.700 --> 00:29:57.879
 down

00:29:57.879 --> 00:29:58.339
 your life

00:29:58.339 --> 00:29:58.619
 to the

00:29:58.619 --> 00:29:58.899
 Lord

00:29:58.899 --> 00:29:59.659
 to start

00:29:59.659 --> 00:30:00.059
 afresh

00:30:00.059 --> 00:30:00.480
 and anew

00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:00.919
 with him

00:30:00.919 --> 00:30:02.240
 I don't

00:30:02.240 --> 00:30:02.519
 know how

00:30:02.519 --> 00:30:03.000
 God's leading

00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:03.319
 you but I

00:30:03.319 --> 00:30:03.679
 encourage you

00:30:03.679 --> 00:30:03.939
 to be

00:30:03.939 --> 00:30:04.720
 faithful

00:30:04.720 --> 00:30:05.379
 to do

00:30:05.379 --> 00:30:05.579
 what he

00:30:05.579 --> 00:30:05.879
 tells you

00:30:05.879 --> 00:30:06.240
 to do

00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:07.939
 you may

00:30:07.939 --> 00:30:08.339
 be here

00:30:08.339 --> 00:30:08.799
 and God's

00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:09.259
 drawing you

00:30:09.259 --> 00:30:09.519
 to be a

00:30:09.519 --> 00:30:09.740
 part of

00:30:09.740 --> 00:30:09.879
 this

00:30:09.879 --> 00:30:10.240
 fellowship

00:30:10.240 --> 00:30:12.099
 you know

00:30:12.099 --> 00:30:12.539
 that God

00:30:12.539 --> 00:30:12.899
 is leading

00:30:12.899 --> 00:30:13.220
 you to be

00:30:13.220 --> 00:30:13.460
 a part

00:30:13.460 --> 00:30:13.700
 of this

00:30:13.700 --> 00:30:14.019
 church

00:30:14.019 --> 00:30:14.500
 we'd love

00:30:14.500 --> 00:30:14.939
 to guide

00:30:14.939 --> 00:30:15.220
 you in

00:30:15.220 --> 00:30:15.859
 that process

00:30:15.859 --> 00:30:17.779
 I encourage

00:30:17.779 --> 00:30:18.240
 you to just

00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:18.759
 follow what

00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:19.119
 God would

00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:19.379
 have you

00:30:19.379 --> 00:30:19.500
 do

00:30:19.500 --> 00:30:19.899
 maybe you

00:30:19.899 --> 00:30:20.199
 made a

00:30:20.199 --> 00:30:20.479
 private

00:30:20.479 --> 00:30:20.799
 decision

00:30:20.799 --> 00:30:21.079
 for the

00:30:21.079 --> 00:30:21.199
 Lord

00:30:21.199 --> 00:30:21.479
 but you

00:30:21.479 --> 00:30:21.759
 never

00:30:21.759 --> 00:30:22.000
 made

00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:22.159
 that

00:30:22.159 --> 00:30:22.579
 public

00:30:22.579 --> 00:30:23.399
 and I

00:30:23.399 --> 00:30:23.779
 will tell

00:30:23.779 --> 00:30:24.039
 you

00:30:24.039 --> 00:30:24.459
 that when

00:30:24.459 --> 00:30:24.939
 you miss

00:30:24.939 --> 00:30:25.379
 the first

00:30:25.379 --> 00:30:25.759
 step of

00:30:25.759 --> 00:30:26.219
 obedience

00:30:26.219 --> 00:30:27.079
 being baptism

00:30:27.079 --> 00:30:28.359
 it will

00:30:28.359 --> 00:30:28.979
 hinder your

00:30:28.979 --> 00:30:29.679
 spiritual life

00:30:29.679 --> 00:30:30.039
 so if you

00:30:30.039 --> 00:30:30.359
 look back

00:30:30.359 --> 00:30:30.639
 over your

00:30:30.639 --> 00:30:31.059
 life and

00:30:31.059 --> 00:30:31.579
 you realize

00:30:31.579 --> 00:30:32.299
 I have

00:30:32.299 --> 00:30:32.599
 committed

00:30:32.599 --> 00:30:33.099
 my life

00:30:33.099 --> 00:30:33.699
 to Christ

00:30:33.699 --> 00:30:34.339
 but since

00:30:34.339 --> 00:30:34.879
 that time

00:30:34.879 --> 00:30:35.439
 I have

00:30:35.439 --> 00:30:36.000
 never been

00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:36.339
 baptized

00:30:36.339 --> 00:30:36.799
 as a

00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:37.119
 believer

00:30:37.119 --> 00:30:38.359
 I want

00:30:38.359 --> 00:30:38.579
 you to

00:30:38.579 --> 00:30:38.859
 know

00:30:38.859 --> 00:30:39.279
 that is

00:30:39.279 --> 00:30:39.619
 the first

00:30:39.619 --> 00:30:39.819
 step

00:30:39.819 --> 00:30:40.319
 of obedience

00:30:40.319 --> 00:30:40.619
 and it

00:30:40.619 --> 00:30:40.859
 can be

00:30:40.859 --> 00:30:41.339
 a tremendous

00:30:41.339 --> 00:30:41.719
 hindrance

00:30:41.719 --> 00:30:42.039
 in your

00:30:42.039 --> 00:30:42.379
 life

00:30:42.380 --> 00:30:43.780
 and by

00:30:43.780 --> 00:30:44.240
 you coming

00:30:44.240 --> 00:30:44.640
 not only

00:30:44.640 --> 00:30:44.920
 will it

00:30:44.920 --> 00:30:45.320
 bless your

00:30:45.320 --> 00:30:45.580
 life

00:30:45.580 --> 00:30:45.780
 but it

00:30:45.780 --> 00:30:46.100
 will bless

00:30:46.100 --> 00:30:46.420
 others

00:30:46.420 --> 00:30:46.940
 as well

00:30:46.940 --> 00:30:48.580
 just obey

00:30:48.580 --> 00:30:48.820
 him

00:30:48.820 --> 00:30:49.360
 just trust

00:30:49.360 --> 00:30:49.600
 him

00:30:49.600 --> 00:30:50.020
 whatever

00:30:50.020 --> 00:30:50.340
 God

00:30:50.340 --> 00:30:50.780
 whatever

00:30:50.780 --> 00:30:52.440
 I know

00:30:52.440 --> 00:30:52.920
 it's outside

00:30:52.920 --> 00:30:53.420
 your comfort

00:30:53.420 --> 00:30:53.780
 zone

00:30:53.780 --> 00:30:54.260
 that's when

00:30:54.260 --> 00:30:54.500
 it gets

00:30:54.500 --> 00:30:55.160
 good folks

00:30:55.160 --> 00:30:56.140
 outside

00:30:56.140 --> 00:30:56.660
 your comfort

00:30:56.660 --> 00:30:57.040
 zone

00:30:57.040 --> 00:30:58.900
 Lord Jesus

00:30:58.900 --> 00:30:59.340
 I love

00:30:59.340 --> 00:30:59.760
 you and I

00:30:59.760 --> 00:31:00.220
 thank you

00:31:00.220 --> 00:31:01.400
 for your

00:31:01.400 --> 00:31:01.800
 word

00:31:01.800 --> 00:31:03.260
 thank you

00:31:03.260 --> 00:31:03.540
 for the

00:31:03.540 --> 00:31:03.980
 challenge

00:31:03.980 --> 00:31:04.340
 of it

00:31:04.340 --> 00:31:04.780
 dear God

00:31:04.780 --> 00:31:05.080
 and I

00:31:05.080 --> 00:31:05.400
 pray

00:31:05.400 --> 00:31:05.940
 today

00:31:05.940 --> 00:31:06.520
 Father

00:31:06.520 --> 00:31:07.820
 you'll lead

00:31:07.820 --> 00:31:08.320
 us to be

00:31:08.320 --> 00:31:08.720
 obedient

00:31:08.720 --> 00:31:09.420
 in whatever

00:31:09.420 --> 00:31:09.860
 you'd have
