00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.879
 Last week, Tobin introduced us to Luke 17, 20 to 37.

00:00:05.600 --> 00:00:07.700
 I was up here reading that scripture as well.

00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:11.720
 This week, he continues with a deeper dive into this passage.

00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:16.320
 In preparation, we again look to the Word of God as an anchor for this teaching.

00:00:16.940 --> 00:00:19.339
 And this week, we're going to read a slightly different translation.

00:00:19.980 --> 00:00:22.199
 So it might have a different effect.

00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:28.339
 Jesus, grilled by the Pharisees on when the kingdom of God would come,

00:00:28.339 --> 00:00:33.519
 answered, the kingdom of God doesn't come by counting the days on the calendar,

00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:38.240
 nor when someone says, look here, or there it is.

00:00:38.659 --> 00:00:39.439
 And why?

00:00:39.939 --> 00:00:42.460
 Because God's kingdom is already among you.

00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:50.519
 He went on to say to his disciples, the days are coming when you are going to be desperately homesick

00:00:50.519 --> 00:00:56.280
 for just a glimpse of one of those days of the Son of Man, and you won't see a thing.

00:00:56.280 --> 00:01:00.259
 And they'll say to you, look over there, or look here.

00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:03.219
 Don't fall for any of that nonsense.

00:01:03.980 --> 00:01:08.120
 The arrival of the Son of Man is not something you go out to see.

00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:10.560
 He simply comes.

00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:15.920
 You know how the whole sky lights up from a single flash of lightning?

00:01:16.659 --> 00:01:19.359
 That's how it will be on the day of the Son of Man.

00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:26.680
 But first, it's necessary that he suffer many things and be turned down by many people of that day.

00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:31.039
 The time of the Son of Man will be just like the time of Noah.

00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:37.400
 Everyone carrying on as usual, having a good time, right up to the day, Noah boarded the ship.

00:01:37.980 --> 00:01:42.480
 They suspected nothing until the flood hit and swept everything away.

00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:50.380
 It was the same in the time of Lot, the people carrying on, having a good time, business as usual,

00:01:50.700 --> 00:01:58.700
 until right up to the day that Lot walked out of Sodom and a firestorm swept down and burnt everything to a crisp.

00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:01.140
 That's how it will be.

00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:02.520
 Sudden.

00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:04.040
 Total.

00:02:04.700 --> 00:02:06.460
 When the Son of Man is revealed.

00:02:06.459 --> 00:02:13.759
 And when the day arrives and you're out working in the yard, don't run into the house to get anything.

00:02:14.359 --> 00:02:17.060
 And if you're out in the field, don't go back and get your coat.

00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:19.759
 Remember what happened to Lot's wife.

00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:24.919
 If you grasp and cling to life on your terms, you will lose it.

00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:29.280
 But if you let that life go, you'll get life on God's terms.

00:02:30.799 --> 00:02:34.620
 On that day, two men will be in the same boat fishing.

00:02:34.620 --> 00:02:37.319
 One taken and the other one left.

00:02:37.980 --> 00:02:40.659
 Two women will be working in the same kitchen.

00:02:41.219 --> 00:02:43.780
 One taken and the other left.

00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:48.939
 Trying to take all this in, the disciples said,

00:02:49.020 --> 00:02:50.280
 Master, where?

00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:52.120
 He told them,

00:02:52.980 --> 00:02:55.980
 Watch for the circling of the vultures.

00:02:56.620 --> 00:02:58.599
 They'll spot the corpse first.

00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:02.480
 The action will begin around my dead body.

00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:04.959
 This is the reading of God's word.

00:03:07.459 --> 00:03:08.399
 How you guys doing?

00:03:09.780 --> 00:03:10.699
 Oh, that's terrible.

00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:13.439
 How you guys doing?

00:03:14.359 --> 00:03:15.359
 Okay, good, good, good.

00:03:15.780 --> 00:03:16.620
 Great, that's good.

00:03:16.679 --> 00:03:17.859
 That's the first time I've ever heard of great.

00:03:18.060 --> 00:03:18.560
 That's great.

00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:19.919
 That's great.

00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:24.219
 Okay, well, we are on a journey as a church.

00:03:24.559 --> 00:03:29.519
 And so, talking about a topic,

00:03:29.619 --> 00:03:33.599
 they probably would tell you never to preach at a church

00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:37.199
 because it will make people uncomfortable and scare people away.

00:03:38.699 --> 00:03:42.719
 But we want to talk about what God has in store for us and all this stuff.

00:03:42.839 --> 00:03:43.699
 See if I can do these things.

00:03:43.699 --> 00:03:49.659
 This week, Christina and I went on a hike.

00:03:49.959 --> 00:03:51.919
 We usually go on a date night once a week.

00:03:52.060 --> 00:03:53.719
 And this time we did it on Monday.

00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:57.039
 And we were walking down in Central.

00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:00.859
 And the weird thing about up here teaching all the time

00:04:00.859 --> 00:04:03.699
 is you're going to know all my quirks and idiosyncrasies.

00:04:03.699 --> 00:04:07.339
 And if you don't know by now, I love Diet Coke.

00:04:07.539 --> 00:04:09.339
 And I love chocolate.

00:04:09.679 --> 00:04:11.619
 And I love bookstores.

00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:14.459
 And I just can't turn down a bookstore.

00:04:14.699 --> 00:04:17.839
 Usually when I go into it, I have to stop and see it and look at it.

00:04:18.659 --> 00:04:20.399
 And so, Christina and I were on a little walk.

00:04:20.419 --> 00:04:21.459
 And we ran into a bookstore.

00:04:22.019 --> 00:04:23.379
 And I ran into this bookstore.

00:04:23.500 --> 00:04:24.300
 And it was amazing.

00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:26.680
 I'm not going to tell you which one

00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:27.639
 because I don't want to do an advertisement.

00:04:28.339 --> 00:04:30.779
 But I found these two books right here.

00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:33.019
 One was How to Survive Anything.

00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:36.360
 And this other one was Worst Case Scenarios,

00:04:36.599 --> 00:04:38.920
 the book of survival questions and skills.

00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:42.519
 And I thought these were fascinating.

00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:45.500
 As I read them, and I have different levels of reading.

00:04:45.659 --> 00:04:46.560
 Some of them were just fun.

00:04:46.620 --> 00:04:47.939
 This was kind of my fun reading level.

00:04:48.860 --> 00:04:50.339
 And so I started reading them.

00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:52.699
 And this book just has stuff like, you know,

00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:56.459
 what do you do when you're in your car and your brakes go out?

00:04:56.579 --> 00:04:59.620
 And what do you do if your car is going into the water

00:04:59.620 --> 00:05:02.680
 and you're trapped inside the car?

00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:04.000
 Or what do you do?

00:05:04.060 --> 00:05:04.800
 How do you get out?

00:05:05.699 --> 00:05:08.500
 What do you do if you're skydiving

00:05:08.500 --> 00:05:10.840
 and your parachute fails to open up?

00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:12.100
 That's an important one, right?

00:05:12.139 --> 00:05:14.100
 Everybody wants to know that one just in case.

00:05:14.220 --> 00:05:17.740
 You know, one that I knew and I used before

00:05:17.740 --> 00:05:19.100
 is what do you do when you're scuba diving

00:05:19.100 --> 00:05:23.920
 and you're underwater and your tank runs out?

00:05:24.060 --> 00:05:24.720
 What do you do?

00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:26.400
 And then I found this one,

00:05:26.500 --> 00:05:27.440
 which I thought was really interesting.

00:05:27.640 --> 00:05:31.460
 It's basically for people on trips to Australia.

00:05:34.220 --> 00:05:35.600
 I'm not teasing, okay?

00:05:36.440 --> 00:05:39.220
 What do you do if you're surrounded by a mob of kangaroos?

00:05:40.880 --> 00:05:41.540
 So it says,

00:05:41.700 --> 00:05:43.760
 during a train trip from Australia's southern desert,

00:05:44.280 --> 00:05:47.780
 you've experienced wonderful scenery and long vistas.

00:05:47.779 --> 00:05:49.619
 At a short layover,

00:05:49.739 --> 00:05:51.919
 the conductor suggests that passengers can get out

00:05:51.919 --> 00:05:53.279
 and take pictures as they choose.

00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:54.659
 You get out of the train

00:05:54.659 --> 00:05:56.099
 and you wander into the sandy soil

00:05:56.099 --> 00:05:58.500
 only to come face to face with a mob

00:05:58.500 --> 00:06:01.239
 of seven to eight angry kangaroos.

00:06:02.379 --> 00:06:05.239
 As you slowly approach for a close-up photo,

00:06:05.359 --> 00:06:06.179
 so it must be a Texan.

00:06:06.299 --> 00:06:07.000
 They have no sense,

00:06:07.099 --> 00:06:09.339
 and so they just kind of walk into the danger.

00:06:09.339 --> 00:06:13.539
 One kangaroo begins thumping his large feet at you.

00:06:14.299 --> 00:06:14.739
 Do you,

00:06:14.859 --> 00:06:15.099
 A,

00:06:15.659 --> 00:06:18.019
 continue approaching without showing fear?

00:06:19.039 --> 00:06:19.459
 B,

00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:21.119
 move away quickly

00:06:21.119 --> 00:06:22.479
 so that you are more than 10 feet

00:06:22.479 --> 00:06:24.259
 from the closest kangaroo?

00:06:25.459 --> 00:06:25.979
 C,

00:06:26.139 --> 00:06:27.219
 back away slowly.

00:06:27.799 --> 00:06:28.000
 D,

00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:28.799
 stand up straight,

00:06:28.919 --> 00:06:29.319
 tall,

00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:30.779
 and open your coat wide

00:06:30.779 --> 00:06:32.359
 to make yourself seem larger.

00:06:33.219 --> 00:06:33.579
 E,

00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:35.319
 open a can of Foster's beer

00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:36.500
 and leave it on the cruise

00:06:36.500 --> 00:06:38.019
 and back away slowly.

00:06:38.019 --> 00:06:40.539
 What do you think the answer is?

00:06:43.479 --> 00:06:44.500
 Come on.

00:06:44.979 --> 00:06:45.839
 You guys,

00:06:45.939 --> 00:06:46.719
 you're going to be in trouble

00:06:46.719 --> 00:06:47.639
 when you're on that boat

00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:48.799
 and you're out there

00:06:48.799 --> 00:06:50.539
 and something happens in that thing.

00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:51.819
 So the answer is C,

00:06:51.919 --> 00:06:52.699
 back away slowly.

00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:54.099
 Kangaroos are herbivores.

00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:55.379
 They rarely attack any animal,

00:06:55.500 --> 00:06:56.060
 including humans.

00:06:56.199 --> 00:06:56.379
 However,

00:06:56.519 --> 00:06:58.359
 some male kangaroos may be over seven feet tall

00:06:58.359 --> 00:06:59.159
 and weigh hundreds of pounds

00:06:59.159 --> 00:07:00.539
 and may charge if cornered or threatened.

00:07:01.159 --> 00:07:02.219
 Thumping indicates that a kangaroo

00:07:02.219 --> 00:07:03.579
 is alerting group members to danger.

00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:04.620
 If a kangaroo attacks,

00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:06.519
 there's no truly safe distance.

00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:08.039
 It's large kangaroos

00:07:08.039 --> 00:07:09.240
 can jump 20 feet or more

00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:10.759
 and travel as fast as 40 miles an hour.

00:07:11.259 --> 00:07:12.439
 If you notice thumping,

00:07:13.259 --> 00:07:14.359
 move back slowly

00:07:14.359 --> 00:07:15.519
 and seek shelter.

00:07:16.459 --> 00:07:17.259
 That's good to know.

00:07:17.299 --> 00:07:18.019
 It's important, right?

00:07:18.060 --> 00:07:18.839
 You never know when you're doing it.

00:07:19.039 --> 00:07:20.060
 I found this other one here,

00:07:20.099 --> 00:07:20.919
 which I thought is,

00:07:21.459 --> 00:07:22.599
 I don't know if this is true,

00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:24.039
 but I've been told that it's true.

00:07:24.740 --> 00:07:26.180
 It's from the Peace Corps manual.

00:07:27.139 --> 00:07:28.379
 It's from the Peace Corps manual

00:07:28.379 --> 00:07:30.279
 and it's for people going to South America.

00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:32.419
 And the scenario is,

00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:35.379
 what do you do if you're attacked by an anaconda?

00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:40.159
 I'm not making this up.

00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:42.079
 Do not run.

00:07:42.539 --> 00:07:44.079
 The snake is faster than you are.

00:07:45.479 --> 00:07:45.879
 Two,

00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:48.000
 lie flat on the ground.

00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:48.560
 Three,

00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:55.920
 put your arms at your sides

00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:57.699
 and your legs tight against one another.

00:07:59.139 --> 00:07:59.579
 Four,

00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:02.180
 the snake will come and begin to nudge

00:08:02.180 --> 00:08:03.680
 and climb over your body.

00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:04.959
 Now, I don't know about you,

00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:05.800
 but like at that time,

00:08:05.860 --> 00:08:06.220
 I'm like,

00:08:06.279 --> 00:08:07.720
 I'm going to risk the running, right?

00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:11.500
 40-foot anaconda nudging my body.

00:08:11.579 --> 00:08:12.060
 I don't know.

00:08:12.579 --> 00:08:13.399
 Number five,

00:08:13.540 --> 00:08:14.339
 don't panic.

00:08:14.339 --> 00:08:18.099
 Number six,

00:08:18.239 --> 00:08:20.219
 after the snake has examined you thoroughly,

00:08:20.539 --> 00:08:23.039
 it will begin to swallow you from the feet first.

00:08:24.259 --> 00:08:25.959
 Always the feet in first.

00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:28.239
 Number seven,

00:08:28.719 --> 00:08:31.359
 the snake will suck your legs into its body,

00:08:31.659 --> 00:08:33.339
 so you must lie perfectly still.

00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:36.079
 This will take a long time.

00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:39.480
 I am not teasing.

00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:40.779
 This is the manual, okay?

00:08:42.259 --> 00:08:43.199
 Number eight,

00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:46.360
 when the snake has reached your knees slowly

00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:47.900
 and with the littlest movement as possible,

00:08:48.020 --> 00:08:50.259
 reach down and take your knife

00:08:50.259 --> 00:08:53.460
 and gently slide it into the side of the snake's mouth

00:08:53.460 --> 00:08:55.560
 between the edge of its mouth and your leg,

00:08:55.700 --> 00:08:56.740
 and then suddenly,

00:08:56.940 --> 00:08:58.840
 with all the energy you can muster,

00:08:59.420 --> 00:09:00.120
 rip upward,

00:09:00.580 --> 00:09:01.879
 severing the snake's head.

00:09:03.620 --> 00:09:04.600
 Number nine,

00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:08.780
 be sure your knife is sharp.

00:09:11.780 --> 00:09:12.800
 Number ten,

00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:15.300
 be sure you have a knife.

00:09:16.740 --> 00:09:18.680
 So that was important to know.

00:09:18.780 --> 00:09:20.240
 Those are important facts, right?

00:09:20.280 --> 00:09:21.820
 We should file those things,

00:09:22.020 --> 00:09:25.480
 and it's good that some people document those things

00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:26.340
 for the rest of us

00:09:26.340 --> 00:09:27.540
 so that we know what's going on.

00:09:28.660 --> 00:09:29.000
 But you know,

00:09:29.060 --> 00:09:30.400
 as I read this book,

00:09:30.420 --> 00:09:31.220
 I continued to read,

00:09:31.280 --> 00:09:31.820
 and it was interesting

00:09:31.820 --> 00:09:36.640
 because it went from funny to serious.

00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:39.100
 And as you read,

00:09:39.139 --> 00:09:40.259
 it got to points of,

00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:43.000
 what do you do if you're caught out in the open

00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:46.139
 and bombs are going off around you?

00:09:48.220 --> 00:09:49.580
 Another scenario talks about,

00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:51.699
 what do you do if you're in the open

00:09:51.699 --> 00:09:52.699
 and all of a sudden,

00:09:52.899 --> 00:09:54.559
 people start shooting at you?

00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:57.399
 And as I read this book,

00:09:57.439 --> 00:09:59.619
 I realized this book isn't so funny

00:09:59.619 --> 00:10:01.859
 because I thought about all the people

00:10:01.859 --> 00:10:03.919
 who've lost their lives

00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:06.579
 these last several weeks

00:10:06.579 --> 00:10:09.539
 because of shooting and bombing.

00:10:09.819 --> 00:10:10.079
 And I mean,

00:10:10.099 --> 00:10:11.639
 it's all funny and ha-ha

00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:13.299
 when we're reading it,

00:10:13.299 --> 00:10:14.779
 but when it becomes real life

00:10:14.779 --> 00:10:17.419
 and death situations,

00:10:18.219 --> 00:10:21.079
 it doesn't become so funny.

00:10:22.099 --> 00:10:22.899
 And I read this,

00:10:22.959 --> 00:10:23.500
 and I think, you know,

00:10:23.539 --> 00:10:24.959
 I would give anything

00:10:24.959 --> 00:10:27.339
 to know the right thing to do

00:10:27.339 --> 00:10:29.279
 in that situation.

00:10:29.979 --> 00:10:30.959
 I would do anything

00:10:30.959 --> 00:10:32.740
 to know what to do right.

00:10:33.740 --> 00:10:34.779
 And so what I want to do today,

00:10:34.859 --> 00:10:35.459
 very briefly,

00:10:35.539 --> 00:10:36.419
 is I want to talk to you

00:10:36.419 --> 00:10:37.679
 about what I think

00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:40.219
 is probably the most best worst,

00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:42.599
 best worst case scenario

00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:44.340
 that you're ever going to face.

00:10:45.940 --> 00:10:47.420
 And it's the second coming

00:10:47.420 --> 00:10:49.899
 of Jesus Christ.

00:10:51.659 --> 00:10:52.800
 It's probably the question

00:10:52.800 --> 00:10:54.440
 I get asked the most as a pastor,

00:10:54.740 --> 00:10:55.379
 that besides,

00:10:55.560 --> 00:10:56.460
 should I date him or her?

00:10:56.840 --> 00:10:58.560
 The next question I get asked often

00:10:58.560 --> 00:10:58.840
 was,

00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:00.519
 when is Jesus going to come again?

00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:01.460
 When is he going to come?

00:11:01.540 --> 00:11:02.120
 I'm wondering.

00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:02.840
 I hear about this,

00:11:02.860 --> 00:11:05.040
 and even people who aren't churchgoers

00:11:05.040 --> 00:11:05.820
 or Christ followers

00:11:05.820 --> 00:11:08.399
 ask this question of me quite a bit.

00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:10.139
 And so I want to continue

00:11:10.139 --> 00:11:11.379
 and talk about the passage

00:11:11.379 --> 00:11:12.220
 that we began in

00:11:12.220 --> 00:11:13.120
 last week,

00:11:13.180 --> 00:11:13.879
 Luke 17.

00:11:14.940 --> 00:11:15.720
 And I want to talk

00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:16.460
 about this scenario.

00:11:16.899 --> 00:11:17.580
 What do you do

00:11:17.580 --> 00:11:18.460
 best case,

00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:19.500
 worst case scenario

00:11:19.500 --> 00:11:20.080
 if you're caught

00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:20.620
 in the scenario

00:11:20.620 --> 00:11:23.160
 where Christ is coming back

00:11:23.160 --> 00:11:25.060
 a second time?

00:11:26.220 --> 00:11:27.440
 What are we to do?

00:11:27.860 --> 00:11:28.680
 And this passage,

00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:29.399
 I think,

00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:30.680
 is full of information

00:11:30.680 --> 00:11:32.120
 and full of ideas.

00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:33.300
 We studied a little bit

00:11:33.300 --> 00:11:33.940
 of it last week.

00:11:33.980 --> 00:11:35.360
 We said in verses 20 through 21

00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:37.240
 that Christ is confronted

00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:38.019
 by the Pharisees.

00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:38.899
 The Pharisees are asking him

00:11:38.899 --> 00:11:39.279
 a question

00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:40.500
 because he talks about

00:11:40.500 --> 00:11:41.139
 the kingdom of God

00:11:41.139 --> 00:11:41.659
 all the time,

00:11:42.179 --> 00:11:42.939
 and they want to know

00:11:42.939 --> 00:11:43.699
 when is this kingdom

00:11:43.699 --> 00:11:44.319
 going to come?

00:11:44.419 --> 00:11:45.299
 When is it going to happen?

00:11:45.959 --> 00:11:46.919
 Because we've told

00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:47.600
 that you're going to be

00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:48.059
 bringing it.

00:11:48.259 --> 00:11:49.659
 And the Pharisees realized

00:11:49.659 --> 00:11:50.519
 as they looked around them

00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:50.959
 in the world

00:11:50.959 --> 00:11:52.100
 that things weren't good,

00:11:53.100 --> 00:11:53.799
 that things weren't

00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:54.639
 as they should be.

00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:55.639
 As the people of God,

00:11:55.720 --> 00:11:56.159
 they realized

00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:56.699
 that they didn't have

00:11:56.699 --> 00:11:58.039
 the place they should be in,

00:11:58.699 --> 00:11:59.579
 that they weren't

00:11:59.579 --> 00:12:01.199
 in the place of prominence,

00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:02.860
 the Romans were controlling them.

00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:04.659
 And so the Pharisees

00:12:04.659 --> 00:12:05.240
 and the Jewish people

00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:06.339
 were looking for a king.

00:12:06.700 --> 00:12:07.320
 They're looking for

00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:08.220
 a warrior king.

00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:08.780
 They were looking for

00:12:08.780 --> 00:12:09.440
 someone to come

00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:10.960
 and to break the yoke

00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:12.720
 and to bring freedom

00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:13.960
 and to kill the enemy,

00:12:14.780 --> 00:12:15.940
 to set up his kingdom

00:12:15.940 --> 00:12:17.820
 and to make all things new

00:12:17.820 --> 00:12:19.080
 and make all things right

00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:19.740
 and to give them

00:12:19.740 --> 00:12:22.019
 a place of prominence

00:12:22.019 --> 00:12:23.379
 and position of power.

00:12:24.259 --> 00:12:25.060
 The Pharisees were looking

00:12:25.060 --> 00:12:25.879
 for the second coming

00:12:25.879 --> 00:12:26.580
 of Christ,

00:12:27.940 --> 00:12:29.100
 kind of like we are

00:12:29.100 --> 00:12:32.240
 in this shadow line time

00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:33.080
 that we live in

00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:33.740
 and in the darkness

00:12:33.740 --> 00:12:34.759
 and in the unknown

00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:35.559
 and in the hurt

00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:36.539
 and in the pain.

00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:38.559
 And Jesus says

00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:39.639
 in verse 21

00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:41.700
 something very unusual.

00:12:41.939 --> 00:12:42.340
 He says,

00:12:42.500 --> 00:12:44.319
 the kingdom is already here.

00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:47.080
 It's amongst you.

00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:49.000
 And what he's saying there

00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:50.059
 is that kingdom of God

00:12:50.059 --> 00:12:51.139
 came.

00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:53.200
 But they had these expectations

00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:53.779
 and these thoughts

00:12:53.779 --> 00:12:54.519
 that this is how God

00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:54.840
 should work.

00:12:54.899 --> 00:12:55.500
 This is what it should do.

00:12:55.559 --> 00:12:56.319
 This is what it works like.

00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:57.059
 This is what I need.

00:12:57.639 --> 00:12:59.240
 And they didn't realize

00:12:59.240 --> 00:13:00.000
 and they had missed

00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:00.879
 that Jesus came

00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:02.080
 and that the kingdom

00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:03.279
 came through Christ

00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:04.579
 and it came through gentleness

00:13:04.579 --> 00:13:05.919
 and meekness

00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:07.019
 and serving

00:13:07.019 --> 00:13:09.079
 and compassion

00:13:09.079 --> 00:13:09.779
 and caring.

00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:10.799
 All of these things

00:13:10.799 --> 00:13:13.199
 they didn't want.

00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:14.759
 They wanted power.

00:13:14.919 --> 00:13:15.939
 They wanted strength.

00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:17.899
 And Jesus brought them

00:13:17.899 --> 00:13:18.500
 grace

00:13:18.500 --> 00:13:20.899
 and mercy

00:13:20.899 --> 00:13:23.199
 and forgiveness

00:13:23.199 --> 00:13:24.079
 of enemies.

00:13:25.139 --> 00:13:26.139
 Especially those enemies

00:13:26.139 --> 00:13:27.279
 who slapped you

00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:28.360
 on one side of the cheek.

00:13:29.159 --> 00:13:30.139
 And they didn't like

00:13:30.139 --> 00:13:31.039
 to hear that.

00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:33.059
 Jesus said that

00:13:33.059 --> 00:13:33.959
 in this kingdom

00:13:33.959 --> 00:13:34.759
 right now

00:13:34.759 --> 00:13:35.679
 where you and I are

00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:36.839
 that my spirit is here

00:13:36.839 --> 00:13:37.379
 and it's working

00:13:37.379 --> 00:13:38.179
 and it's changing

00:13:38.179 --> 00:13:39.379
 and it's slowly

00:13:39.379 --> 00:13:40.799
 changing people's hearts.

00:13:40.899 --> 00:13:41.939
 It's like this grain of seed

00:13:41.939 --> 00:13:42.620
 that gets planted

00:13:42.620 --> 00:13:44.099
 and sometimes we don't see it.

00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:45.159
 We keep coming back to it.

00:13:45.199 --> 00:13:45.719
 We have this seed

00:13:45.719 --> 00:13:46.179
 in our house.

00:13:46.219 --> 00:13:46.699
 It's amazing.

00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:48.639
 Christina went on a vacation.

00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:49.219
 She came back

00:13:49.219 --> 00:13:50.620
 and she brought this redwood seed

00:13:50.620 --> 00:13:51.459
 in our house.

00:13:51.539 --> 00:13:52.099
 Now what I'm going to do

00:13:52.099 --> 00:13:52.740
 with a redwood tree

00:13:52.740 --> 00:13:54.019
 I have no idea

00:13:54.019 --> 00:13:54.919
 in Hong Kong

00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:55.599
 because it grows to be

00:13:55.599 --> 00:13:56.480
 300 feet tall.

00:13:57.360 --> 00:13:58.059
 But what I've seen

00:13:58.059 --> 00:13:58.819
 about this redwood

00:13:58.819 --> 00:13:59.839
 is that the first four weeks

00:13:59.840 --> 00:14:00.519
 nothing happened.

00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:01.300
 It was just this clump

00:14:01.300 --> 00:14:02.680
 of wood.

00:14:03.500 --> 00:14:04.080
 And then all of a sudden

00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:04.879
 it started sprouting

00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:06.259
 and there's like 20 sprouts

00:14:06.259 --> 00:14:07.180
 on this clump of wood

00:14:07.180 --> 00:14:07.980
 and they're growing

00:14:07.980 --> 00:14:08.780
 like one inch

00:14:08.780 --> 00:14:09.759
 every two days.

00:14:10.860 --> 00:14:11.800
 Now I'm trying to figure out

00:14:11.800 --> 00:14:12.540
 do I sneak down

00:14:12.540 --> 00:14:14.540
 into our little wood area

00:14:14.540 --> 00:14:15.580
 right outside of our apartment

00:14:15.580 --> 00:14:16.420
 and plant it

00:14:16.420 --> 00:14:17.879
 and just wondering

00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:18.580
 what people are going to think

00:14:18.580 --> 00:14:18.879
 one day

00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:20.220
 when this 300 foot redwood

00:14:20.220 --> 00:14:20.879
 comes up

00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:23.200
 in the middle of Hong Kong

00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:24.320
 and falls on

00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:25.220
 the apartment complex

00:14:25.220 --> 00:14:25.639
 one day

00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:26.400
 in the middle of a hurricane

00:14:26.400 --> 00:14:27.280
 or something like that.

00:14:27.300 --> 00:14:27.800
 I don't know

00:14:27.800 --> 00:14:28.960
 what we're going to do with it

00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:29.519
 but Jesus said

00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:30.259
 that's what the kingdom

00:14:30.259 --> 00:14:31.080
 is going to be like

00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:32.560
 and God's spirit

00:14:32.560 --> 00:14:33.560
 is going to come

00:14:33.560 --> 00:14:34.700
 and it's going to change hearts

00:14:34.700 --> 00:14:35.940
 and it's going to set people free

00:14:35.940 --> 00:14:38.840
 because whether you know it or not

00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:40.180
 you and I are in slavery

00:14:40.180 --> 00:14:43.580
 and we're in bondage.

00:14:45.780 --> 00:14:46.120
 And he says

00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:47.680
 my spirit's going to come

00:14:47.680 --> 00:14:48.840
 and free those things

00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:49.940
 and make all those things

00:14:49.940 --> 00:14:50.820
 new and right.

00:14:51.259 --> 00:14:52.180
 Sure there's going to be a day

00:14:52.180 --> 00:14:53.400
 when power's going to come.

00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:54.240
 Sure there's going to be a day

00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:55.600
 when lightning's going to strike.

00:14:55.980 --> 00:14:56.560
 Sure there's going to be a day

00:14:56.560 --> 00:14:57.320
 when I'm going to come back

00:14:57.320 --> 00:14:57.840
 with an army

00:14:57.840 --> 00:14:58.660
 but right now

00:14:58.660 --> 00:14:59.820
 it's going to be totally different

00:14:59.820 --> 00:15:01.300
 and I'm going to work

00:15:01.300 --> 00:15:02.340
 through the church

00:15:02.340 --> 00:15:02.760
 and I'm going to work

00:15:02.760 --> 00:15:03.620
 through my people

00:15:03.620 --> 00:15:07.680
 and then we have a pause.

00:15:10.020 --> 00:15:11.080
 Verse 22

00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:12.580
 Jesus continues

00:15:12.580 --> 00:15:14.240
 his talk

00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:14.980
 his lessons

00:15:14.980 --> 00:15:16.220
 and it's important to remember

00:15:16.220 --> 00:15:17.780
 that it's chapter 17

00:15:17.780 --> 00:15:18.879
 and chapter 19

00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:19.820
 he's going to be in Jerusalem

00:15:19.820 --> 00:15:21.180
 so it's only about two weeks away.

00:15:22.300 --> 00:15:23.200
 He's going to go to Jerusalem

00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:24.080
 he's going to be crucified

00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:24.800
 so right now

00:15:24.800 --> 00:15:25.920
 in these two weeks

00:15:25.920 --> 00:15:27.260
 he wants to teach his disciples

00:15:27.259 --> 00:15:28.279
 he wants to teach us

00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:29.620
 he wants to teach us

00:15:29.620 --> 00:15:30.559
 everything we need to know

00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:32.120
 so that when he goes

00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:33.600
 that we know everything

00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:34.980
 and he wants us to be aware

00:15:34.980 --> 00:15:36.319
 of what's going to happen

00:15:36.319 --> 00:15:37.480
 and he's going to talk

00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:38.319
 in chapter 22

00:15:38.319 --> 00:15:39.480
 verses 22 to 37

00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:40.919
 about the second coming

00:15:40.919 --> 00:15:43.100
 when he comes the second time

00:15:43.100 --> 00:15:43.939
 when it's in power

00:15:43.939 --> 00:15:44.740
 and strength

00:15:44.740 --> 00:15:46.240
 and out of control

00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:46.840
 and lightning

00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:48.059
 and he's going to share

00:15:48.059 --> 00:15:48.720
 three things

00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:49.159
 he's going to share

00:15:49.159 --> 00:15:49.860
 three warnings

00:15:49.860 --> 00:15:51.080
 three things that he wants

00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:52.279
 us as a church

00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:53.059
 to know about

00:15:53.059 --> 00:15:54.679
 three things

00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:55.779
 I want to share with you

00:15:55.779 --> 00:15:57.220
 and talk about

00:15:57.220 --> 00:15:58.039
 very briefly

00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:00.379
 because right now

00:16:00.379 --> 00:16:01.620
 if you're like me

00:16:01.620 --> 00:16:02.159
 you're wondering

00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:03.620
 if it's ever going to happen

00:16:03.620 --> 00:16:05.679
 and God

00:16:05.679 --> 00:16:07.000
 when are you going to do this

00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:09.339
 I mean for 2,000 years

00:16:09.339 --> 00:16:10.939
 we've been talking about this

00:16:10.939 --> 00:16:11.659
 for 2,000 years

00:16:11.659 --> 00:16:12.379
 we've been celebrating

00:16:12.379 --> 00:16:13.120
 for 2,000 years

00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:13.819
 we've been praying

00:16:13.819 --> 00:16:15.799
 for 2,000 years

00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:16.679
 things are still difficult

00:16:16.679 --> 00:16:17.759
 and people are hurting

00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:20.240
 and there's brokenness

00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:22.960
 and oppression

00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:26.679
 and sickness

00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:28.759
 and pain

00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:31.620
 and people are crying out

00:16:31.620 --> 00:16:32.519
 and they get discouraged

00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:33.279
 if you're like me

00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:34.299
 you get discouraged

00:16:34.299 --> 00:16:36.100
 I was reading some articles

00:16:36.100 --> 00:16:37.159
 it's amazing

00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:38.259
 what you can find

00:16:38.259 --> 00:16:38.840
 on the internet

00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:40.139
 about the end times

00:16:40.139 --> 00:16:40.939
 and the difficulty

00:16:40.939 --> 00:16:42.860
 I read this article

00:16:42.860 --> 00:16:44.639
 from a U.S. newspaper

00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:45.980
 actually it was a magazine

00:16:45.980 --> 00:16:47.699
 it's from Harper's Magazine

00:16:47.699 --> 00:16:49.299
 this is how they describe

00:16:49.299 --> 00:16:50.740
 our time right now

00:16:50.740 --> 00:16:51.080
 they said

00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:52.439
 it's a gloomy moment

00:16:52.439 --> 00:16:53.519
 in the history of our country

00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:53.879
 I'm sorry

00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:54.379
 it's America

00:16:54.379 --> 00:16:55.860
 I didn't have Australian magazine

00:16:55.860 --> 00:16:57.840
 or any other

00:16:57.840 --> 00:16:58.919
 but this is American

00:16:58.919 --> 00:16:59.279
 and he says

00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:01.319
 it's a gloomy moment

00:17:01.319 --> 00:17:02.279
 in the history of our country

00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:03.159
 not in the lifetime

00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:03.980
 of most men and women

00:17:03.980 --> 00:17:04.859
 has there been so much

00:17:04.859 --> 00:17:06.680
 grave and deep uncertainty

00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:08.700
 never has the future

00:17:08.700 --> 00:17:09.700
 seemed so unknown

00:17:09.700 --> 00:17:11.000
 as at this time

00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:13.460
 the economy is in shambles

00:17:13.460 --> 00:17:15.180
 the situation is in total chaos

00:17:15.180 --> 00:17:16.960
 the dollar is weak

00:17:16.960 --> 00:17:17.619
 throughout the world

00:17:17.619 --> 00:17:18.720
 prices are high

00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:20.220
 higher than they could ever be

00:17:20.220 --> 00:17:21.660
 the middle class cannot survive

00:17:21.660 --> 00:17:22.980
 the political situation

00:17:22.980 --> 00:17:23.900
 is full of chaos

00:17:23.900 --> 00:17:25.559
 selfishness

00:17:25.559 --> 00:17:27.339
 and uncertainty

00:17:27.339 --> 00:17:29.480
 again our enemies

00:17:29.480 --> 00:17:30.740
 are begging at the doors

00:17:30.740 --> 00:17:32.339
 and there's like this dark cloud

00:17:32.339 --> 00:17:34.039
 that's looming over the horizon

00:17:34.039 --> 00:17:37.319
 about to strike at any time

00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:38.920
 it's a solemn moment

00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:39.580
 no one

00:17:39.580 --> 00:17:41.300
 no one

00:17:41.300 --> 00:17:43.300
 can see the end

00:17:43.300 --> 00:17:44.180
 of our troubles

00:17:44.180 --> 00:17:46.180
 I thought

00:17:46.180 --> 00:17:46.340
 wow

00:17:46.340 --> 00:17:47.960
 what a powerful description

00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:51.019
 of today's time

00:17:51.019 --> 00:17:52.900
 in age

00:17:52.900 --> 00:17:55.220
 and then I read it

00:17:55.220 --> 00:17:55.600
 and it said

00:17:55.600 --> 00:17:56.600
 Harper's Magazine

00:17:56.600 --> 00:17:57.519
 October 10th

00:17:59.360 --> 00:18:00.519
 1847

00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:05.039
 and I realized

00:18:05.039 --> 00:18:05.800
 that times

00:18:05.800 --> 00:18:07.300
 really haven't changed

00:18:07.300 --> 00:18:08.120
 that much

00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:10.359
 no matter how

00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:11.239
 we hope

00:18:11.239 --> 00:18:12.239
 that they will

00:18:12.239 --> 00:18:13.979
 that we're still

00:18:13.979 --> 00:18:14.759
 having problems

00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:16.039
 that we still have problems

00:18:16.039 --> 00:18:17.039
 we still have struggles

00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:18.219
 we still have struggles

00:18:18.219 --> 00:18:18.919
 with our family

00:18:18.919 --> 00:18:19.859
 and with our kids

00:18:19.859 --> 00:18:20.679
 and with our bosses

00:18:20.679 --> 00:18:21.739
 and with our jobs

00:18:21.739 --> 00:18:22.959
 and with our culture

00:18:22.959 --> 00:18:23.899
 and with our government

00:18:23.899 --> 00:18:25.699
 and with our finances

00:18:25.699 --> 00:18:27.079
 and with our dating

00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:28.339
 and with our relationships

00:18:28.339 --> 00:18:29.179
 and we're just wondering

00:18:29.179 --> 00:18:29.759
 God

00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:30.779
 when are you going to come back

00:18:30.779 --> 00:18:31.579
 and when are you going to make

00:18:31.579 --> 00:18:33.239
 all these things new

00:18:33.239 --> 00:18:34.219
 when are you going to fix

00:18:34.219 --> 00:18:34.899
 these things

00:18:34.899 --> 00:18:35.239
 it's been

00:18:35.239 --> 00:18:37.039
 2,000 years

00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:39.859
 and the first thing

00:18:39.859 --> 00:18:40.740
 that Jesus tells us

00:18:40.740 --> 00:18:42.379
 in verse 22

00:18:42.379 --> 00:18:44.859
 is that the coming

00:18:44.859 --> 00:18:45.819
 of the second kingdom

00:18:45.819 --> 00:18:48.119
 is patient

00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:52.240
 I wanted to say slow

00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:54.180
 because that's how I feel

00:18:54.180 --> 00:18:54.720
 sometimes

00:18:54.720 --> 00:18:56.700
 but the Bible says

00:18:56.700 --> 00:18:57.460
 that God's coming

00:18:57.460 --> 00:18:58.279
 his second time

00:18:58.279 --> 00:18:58.539
 is

00:18:58.539 --> 00:18:59.779
 is

00:18:59.779 --> 00:19:00.659
 is patient

00:19:00.660 --> 00:19:03.340
 the passage says

00:19:03.340 --> 00:19:03.860
 that he doesn't want

00:19:03.860 --> 00:19:04.320
 anybody

00:19:04.320 --> 00:19:05.540
 to perish

00:19:05.540 --> 00:19:09.340
 that judgment

00:19:09.340 --> 00:19:09.900
 is not

00:19:09.900 --> 00:19:11.120
 his first option

00:19:11.120 --> 00:19:13.140
 but he wants

00:19:13.140 --> 00:19:13.540
 all people

00:19:13.540 --> 00:19:13.840
 to come

00:19:13.840 --> 00:19:14.759
 to know him

00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:17.259
 and so the second coming

00:19:17.259 --> 00:19:18.140
 is slow

00:19:18.140 --> 00:19:20.540
 it's patient

00:19:20.540 --> 00:19:22.779
 the passage

00:19:22.779 --> 00:19:23.200
 tells us

00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:23.580
 that for

00:19:23.580 --> 00:19:25.420
 120 years

00:19:25.420 --> 00:19:26.820
 Noah

00:19:26.820 --> 00:19:27.600
 was building

00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:28.659
 an ark

00:19:28.659 --> 00:19:30.619
 in a desert

00:19:30.619 --> 00:19:33.079
 can you imagine

00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:33.519
 what that would have

00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:33.980
 been like

00:19:33.980 --> 00:19:36.240
 I'm not talking

00:19:36.240 --> 00:19:37.240
 just like about a boat

00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:38.679
 I'm talking about

00:19:38.679 --> 00:19:39.319
 you look outside

00:19:39.319 --> 00:19:39.839
 and you see one of these

00:19:39.839 --> 00:19:40.579
 container ships

00:19:40.579 --> 00:19:42.059
 he was building

00:19:42.059 --> 00:19:43.000
 a container ship

00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:46.799
 for 120 years

00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:49.339
 the passage says

00:19:49.339 --> 00:19:49.959
 that as God

00:19:49.959 --> 00:19:50.740
 looked out on creation

00:19:50.740 --> 00:19:51.980
 everybody was corrupt

00:19:51.980 --> 00:19:53.000
 everybody was selfish

00:19:53.000 --> 00:19:53.939
 everybody was broken

00:19:53.939 --> 00:19:55.199
 there was no one

00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:56.660
 who desired God

00:19:56.660 --> 00:19:58.519
 and then we read

00:19:58.519 --> 00:19:59.120
 in this passage

00:19:59.120 --> 00:19:59.860
 in Genesis 6

00:19:59.860 --> 00:20:00.480
 that God

00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:02.600
 came to Noah

00:20:02.600 --> 00:20:03.140
 and Noah

00:20:03.140 --> 00:20:04.039
 found favor

00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:04.940
 in God's eyes

00:20:04.940 --> 00:20:05.480
 what it means

00:20:05.480 --> 00:20:05.900
 in Hebrew

00:20:05.900 --> 00:20:06.200
 is

00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:07.580
 he found grace

00:20:07.580 --> 00:20:11.220
 but Noah

00:20:11.220 --> 00:20:12.080
 was just as corrupt

00:20:12.080 --> 00:20:13.200
 as everybody else

00:20:13.200 --> 00:20:14.740
 and God

00:20:14.740 --> 00:20:15.299
 came to him

00:20:15.299 --> 00:20:15.880
 with his grace

00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:16.759
 and he changed him

00:20:16.759 --> 00:20:18.019
 and Noah

00:20:18.019 --> 00:20:19.240
 fell in love

00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:19.840
 with God

00:20:19.840 --> 00:20:20.500
 and God gave him

00:20:20.500 --> 00:20:20.900
 a message

00:20:20.900 --> 00:20:21.400
 and the message

00:20:21.400 --> 00:20:21.660
 was

00:20:21.660 --> 00:20:22.680
 judgment

00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:23.819
 judgment

00:20:23.819 --> 00:20:24.819
 judgment

00:20:24.819 --> 00:20:26.439
 and God

00:20:26.439 --> 00:20:27.059
 didn't just give him

00:20:27.059 --> 00:20:27.399
 a message

00:20:27.399 --> 00:20:27.939
 he gave him

00:20:27.939 --> 00:20:29.119
 something to do

00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:30.339
 to save the people

00:20:30.339 --> 00:20:30.939
 from the judgment

00:20:30.939 --> 00:20:32.919
 he built a boat

00:20:32.919 --> 00:20:35.379
 he built this massive

00:20:35.379 --> 00:20:35.879
 ark

00:20:35.879 --> 00:20:37.119
 I mean it was like

00:20:37.119 --> 00:20:38.919
 955 car

00:20:38.919 --> 00:20:39.279
 you know

00:20:39.279 --> 00:20:39.939
 railroad cars

00:20:39.939 --> 00:20:40.139
 big

00:20:40.139 --> 00:20:41.099
 it was huge

00:20:41.099 --> 00:20:43.119
 and so for 120 years

00:20:43.119 --> 00:20:43.960
 he's teaching them

00:20:43.960 --> 00:20:45.279
 God is upset

00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:46.359
 there's judgment coming

00:20:46.359 --> 00:20:47.519
 let's build this ark

00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:48.359
 this is the vehicle

00:20:48.359 --> 00:20:48.839
 for which you're

00:20:48.839 --> 00:20:49.539
 going to be rescued

00:20:49.539 --> 00:20:50.019
 this is where

00:20:50.019 --> 00:20:50.960
 you're going to be saved

00:20:50.960 --> 00:20:53.539
 can you imagine that

00:20:53.539 --> 00:20:56.559
 the Bible says

00:20:56.559 --> 00:20:57.019
 that as he did

00:20:57.019 --> 00:20:57.299
 that people

00:20:57.299 --> 00:20:58.259
 just mocked him

00:20:58.259 --> 00:21:01.379
 they laughed at him

00:21:01.379 --> 00:21:03.200
 what are you doing

00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:03.480
 Noah

00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:04.599
 well I'm building

00:21:04.599 --> 00:21:05.659
 a boat

00:21:05.659 --> 00:21:07.480
 what's a boat

00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:09.079
 I mean you've never

00:21:09.079 --> 00:21:09.460
 seen a boat

00:21:09.460 --> 00:21:10.099
 they're in the desert

00:21:10.099 --> 00:21:11.740
 what was this

00:21:11.740 --> 00:21:12.359
 containment

00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:13.039
 to the soul

00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:14.339
 really

00:21:14.339 --> 00:21:14.879
 why are you

00:21:14.879 --> 00:21:15.319
 building that

00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:15.700
 well it's

00:21:15.700 --> 00:21:16.420
 because it's

00:21:16.420 --> 00:21:17.019
 going to rain

00:21:17.019 --> 00:21:20.960
 what's rain

00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:23.059
 because up until

00:21:23.059 --> 00:21:23.460
 that moment

00:21:23.460 --> 00:21:23.980
 we're told

00:21:23.980 --> 00:21:24.600
 that it never

00:21:24.600 --> 00:21:25.440
 rained on the earth

00:21:25.440 --> 00:21:27.340
 they said

00:21:27.340 --> 00:21:27.600
 well it's this

00:21:27.600 --> 00:21:28.160
 wet stuff

00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:28.700
 that comes out

00:21:28.700 --> 00:21:29.319
 of the sky

00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:30.180
 it's going to

00:21:30.180 --> 00:21:30.940
 rain so much

00:21:30.940 --> 00:21:31.460
 it's going to

00:21:31.460 --> 00:21:32.319
 fill the earth

00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:33.539
 and because

00:21:33.539 --> 00:21:34.299
 God is angry

00:21:34.299 --> 00:21:34.779
 and because

00:21:34.779 --> 00:21:35.500
 we've sinned

00:21:35.500 --> 00:21:35.779
 and we've

00:21:35.779 --> 00:21:36.140
 turned away

00:21:36.140 --> 00:21:36.460
 from him

00:21:36.460 --> 00:21:37.460
 he's going

00:21:37.460 --> 00:21:37.799
 to destroy

00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:38.299
 everything

00:21:38.299 --> 00:21:39.160
 but this is

00:21:39.160 --> 00:21:39.579
 our chance

00:21:39.579 --> 00:21:40.259
 we can repent

00:21:40.259 --> 00:21:40.700
 we can come

00:21:40.700 --> 00:21:41.180
 back to him

00:21:41.180 --> 00:21:41.640
 it's grace

00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:42.120
 it's mercy

00:21:42.120 --> 00:21:43.100
 we can be a part

00:21:43.100 --> 00:21:43.360
 of building

00:21:43.360 --> 00:21:43.799
 this ark

00:21:43.799 --> 00:21:44.180
 you want to

00:21:44.180 --> 00:21:44.700
 do that

00:21:44.700 --> 00:21:48.220
 and for 120

00:21:48.220 --> 00:21:48.559
 years

00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:48.980
 they laughed

00:21:48.980 --> 00:21:49.480
 at him

00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:54.279
 until

00:21:54.279 --> 00:21:55.880
 God

00:21:55.880 --> 00:21:57.539
 in Genesis 7

00:21:57.539 --> 00:21:58.259
 verse 16

00:21:58.259 --> 00:21:58.680
 it's one of

00:21:58.680 --> 00:21:58.980
 these verses

00:21:58.980 --> 00:21:59.440
 I memorized

00:21:59.440 --> 00:21:59.900
 as a little

00:21:59.900 --> 00:22:00.180
 kid

00:22:00.180 --> 00:22:01.079
 and I wasn't

00:22:01.079 --> 00:22:01.620
 in a church

00:22:01.620 --> 00:22:02.039
 family

00:22:02.039 --> 00:22:03.160
 but there was

00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:03.680
 something about

00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:04.339
 this passage

00:22:04.339 --> 00:22:04.900
 that stuck

00:22:04.900 --> 00:22:05.420
 to me

00:22:05.420 --> 00:22:06.240
 because we

00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:06.620
 had one

00:22:06.620 --> 00:22:07.259
 bible picture

00:22:07.259 --> 00:22:07.819
 book in our

00:22:07.819 --> 00:22:08.099
 house

00:22:08.099 --> 00:22:08.640
 and it was

00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:08.900
 a picture

00:22:08.900 --> 00:22:09.500
 of the flood

00:22:09.500 --> 00:22:10.000
 and it was

00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:10.279
 a picture

00:22:10.279 --> 00:22:10.900
 of these

00:22:10.900 --> 00:22:11.680
 waters rushing

00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:12.319
 in and people

00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:13.440
 like this

00:22:13.440 --> 00:22:13.660
 and they're

00:22:13.660 --> 00:22:13.960
 trying to

00:22:13.960 --> 00:22:14.539
 knock on the

00:22:14.539 --> 00:22:14.920
 door

00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:16.620
 and in

00:22:16.620 --> 00:22:17.380
 Genesis 7

00:22:17.380 --> 00:22:17.920
 verse 16

00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:18.220
 it says

00:22:18.220 --> 00:22:18.779
 God

00:22:18.779 --> 00:22:21.359
 up until

00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:21.799
 that day

00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:22.279
 that Noah

00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:22.579
 and his

00:22:22.579 --> 00:22:22.779
 family

00:22:22.779 --> 00:22:23.339
 walked in

00:22:23.339 --> 00:22:23.680
 the ark

00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:23.940
 and then

00:22:23.940 --> 00:22:24.319
 God

00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:25.859
 he closed

00:22:25.859 --> 00:22:26.399
 the door

00:22:26.399 --> 00:22:28.740
 and his

00:22:28.740 --> 00:22:28.980
 judgment

00:22:28.980 --> 00:22:29.660
 was set

00:22:29.660 --> 00:22:32.960
 and everyone

00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:33.680
 was destroyed

00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:37.039
 so the first

00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:37.399
 thing that Jesus

00:22:37.399 --> 00:22:38.019
 wants to tell us

00:22:38.019 --> 00:22:38.420
 is that his

00:22:38.420 --> 00:22:39.039
 judgment is

00:22:39.039 --> 00:22:39.379
 coming

00:22:39.379 --> 00:22:40.059
 the second

00:22:40.059 --> 00:22:40.539
 kingdom is

00:22:40.539 --> 00:22:40.759
 coming

00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:41.079
 but it's

00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:41.559
 patient

00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:45.559
 because he

00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:46.059
 wants everyone

00:22:46.059 --> 00:22:46.619
 to know

00:22:46.619 --> 00:22:49.599
 he doesn't

00:22:49.599 --> 00:22:49.899
 want anybody

00:22:49.899 --> 00:22:50.459
 to perish

00:22:50.459 --> 00:22:53.219
 the next

00:22:53.219 --> 00:22:53.619
 thing we see

00:22:53.619 --> 00:22:54.139
 in this passage

00:22:54.139 --> 00:22:54.679
 which I think

00:22:54.679 --> 00:22:56.000
 is incredible

00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:56.339
 he says

00:22:56.339 --> 00:22:57.019
 and he

00:22:57.019 --> 00:22:57.679
 brings this

00:22:57.679 --> 00:22:57.939
 warning

00:22:57.939 --> 00:22:58.299
 he says

00:22:58.299 --> 00:22:59.019
 that when

00:22:59.019 --> 00:22:59.419
 the second

00:22:59.419 --> 00:22:59.779
 coming

00:22:59.779 --> 00:23:00.119
 comes

00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:00.399
 in verses

00:23:00.399 --> 00:23:01.019
 23 and

00:23:01.019 --> 00:23:01.379
 24

00:23:01.379 --> 00:23:01.779
 he says

00:23:01.779 --> 00:23:01.979
 they will

00:23:01.979 --> 00:23:02.319
 say to you

00:23:02.319 --> 00:23:02.659
 look here

00:23:02.659 --> 00:23:03.039
 look there

00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:03.339
 do not

00:23:03.339 --> 00:23:03.719
 go away

00:23:03.719 --> 00:23:03.979
 do not

00:23:03.979 --> 00:23:04.319
 run away

00:23:04.319 --> 00:23:04.759
 from them

00:23:04.759 --> 00:23:06.159
 they're

00:23:06.159 --> 00:23:06.319
 going to

00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:06.559
 tell you

00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:06.899
 here it

00:23:06.899 --> 00:23:07.039
 is

00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:07.359
 and here's

00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:07.799
 the Messiah

00:23:07.799 --> 00:23:08.759
 and he's

00:23:08.759 --> 00:23:08.899
 going to

00:23:08.899 --> 00:23:09.500
 say no

00:23:09.500 --> 00:23:11.199
 no

00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:13.400
 before I

00:23:13.400 --> 00:23:13.819
 came this

00:23:13.819 --> 00:23:14.160
 morning I

00:23:14.160 --> 00:23:14.380
 did a

00:23:14.380 --> 00:23:15.000
 Google search

00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:15.500
 and I'm

00:23:15.500 --> 00:23:15.860
 sure I

00:23:15.860 --> 00:23:16.100
 did not

00:23:16.100 --> 00:23:16.360
 do it

00:23:16.360 --> 00:23:16.740
 properly

00:23:16.740 --> 00:23:17.400
 but I

00:23:17.400 --> 00:23:18.100
 typed in

00:23:18.100 --> 00:23:20.460
 websites that

00:23:20.460 --> 00:23:20.960
 deal with

00:23:20.960 --> 00:23:21.620
 end time

00:23:21.620 --> 00:23:22.200
 prophecy

00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:24.140
 and I

00:23:24.140 --> 00:23:24.360
 got

00:23:24.360 --> 00:23:26.960
 1,950,000,000

00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:27.600
 hits

00:23:27.600 --> 00:23:30.980
 and then I

00:23:30.980 --> 00:23:31.180
 said well

00:23:31.180 --> 00:23:31.900
 I must have

00:23:31.900 --> 00:23:32.140
 done that

00:23:32.140 --> 00:23:32.480
 wrong

00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:32.840
 and so I

00:23:32.840 --> 00:23:33.140
 went on

00:23:33.140 --> 00:23:33.460
 I'm sure

00:23:33.460 --> 00:23:33.880
 I did

00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:35.080
 are there

00:23:35.080 --> 00:23:36.600
 1,950,000,000

00:23:36.600 --> 00:23:37.340
 websites

00:23:37.340 --> 00:23:39.400
 or locations

00:23:39.400 --> 00:23:40.800
 and so I

00:23:40.800 --> 00:23:41.120
 typed in

00:23:41.120 --> 00:23:41.380
 books

00:23:41.380 --> 00:23:41.780
 books that

00:23:41.780 --> 00:23:42.200
 deal with

00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:42.560
 end time

00:23:42.560 --> 00:23:43.000
 prophecy

00:23:43.000 --> 00:23:43.800
 how many

00:23:43.800 --> 00:23:44.100
 are there

00:23:44.100 --> 00:23:44.660
 within

00:23:44.660 --> 00:23:45.740
 that time

00:23:45.740 --> 00:23:46.000
 I got

00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:48.220
 1,650,000,000

00:23:48.220 --> 00:23:48.580
 hits

00:23:48.580 --> 00:23:50.880
 and there's

00:23:50.880 --> 00:23:51.120
 a lot of

00:23:51.120 --> 00:23:51.640
 people talking

00:23:51.640 --> 00:23:51.960
 about the

00:23:51.960 --> 00:23:52.360
 end times

00:23:52.360 --> 00:23:52.600
 and when

00:23:52.600 --> 00:23:52.720
 is it

00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:52.900
 going to

00:23:52.900 --> 00:23:53.120
 happen

00:23:53.120 --> 00:23:53.320
 when is

00:23:53.320 --> 00:23:53.660
 going

00:23:53.660 --> 00:23:54.880
 when I

00:23:54.880 --> 00:23:55.060
 was a

00:23:55.060 --> 00:23:55.220
 young

00:23:55.220 --> 00:23:55.600
 Christian

00:23:55.600 --> 00:23:56.320
 I was

00:23:56.320 --> 00:23:56.480
 in a

00:23:56.480 --> 00:23:56.640
 high

00:23:56.640 --> 00:23:56.860
 school

00:23:56.860 --> 00:23:57.120
 with a

00:23:57.120 --> 00:23:57.460
 guy

00:23:57.460 --> 00:23:58.480
 Katie

00:23:58.480 --> 00:23:58.759
 we went

00:23:58.759 --> 00:23:58.940
 to the

00:23:58.940 --> 00:23:59.060
 same

00:23:59.060 --> 00:23:59.259
 high

00:23:59.259 --> 00:23:59.420
 school

00:23:59.420 --> 00:23:59.860
 but I'm

00:23:59.860 --> 00:24:00.240
 a little

00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:00.480
 older

00:24:00.480 --> 00:24:00.820
 than she

00:24:00.820 --> 00:24:01.000
 is

00:24:01.000 --> 00:24:02.019
 and when

00:24:02.019 --> 00:24:02.200
 I

00:24:02.200 --> 00:24:02.480
 was in

00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:02.660
 high

00:24:02.660 --> 00:24:02.820
 school

00:24:02.820 --> 00:24:03.040
 there was

00:24:03.040 --> 00:24:03.140
 an

00:24:03.140 --> 00:24:03.320
 upper

00:24:03.320 --> 00:24:03.640
 freshman

00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:03.800
 his

00:24:03.800 --> 00:24:03.940
 name

00:24:03.940 --> 00:24:04.060
 was

00:24:04.060 --> 00:24:04.259
 Joe

00:24:04.259 --> 00:24:04.480
 Little

00:24:09.400 --> 00:24:10.019
 and so

00:24:10.019 --> 00:24:10.200
 Joe

00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:10.620
 tried to

00:24:10.620 --> 00:24:11.259
 persuade us

00:24:11.259 --> 00:24:12.000
 underclassmen

00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:12.680
 that Jesus

00:24:12.680 --> 00:24:12.980
 was going to

00:24:12.980 --> 00:24:13.280
 come back

00:24:13.280 --> 00:24:13.560
 that year

00:24:13.560 --> 00:24:14.019
 also

00:24:14.019 --> 00:24:14.900
 and so

00:24:14.900 --> 00:24:15.120
 we didn't

00:24:15.120 --> 00:24:15.340
 need to

00:24:15.340 --> 00:24:15.960
 do homework

00:24:15.960 --> 00:24:17.620
 because what

00:24:17.620 --> 00:24:17.920
 good is

00:24:17.920 --> 00:24:18.440
 homework if

00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:18.940
 Jesus comes

00:24:18.940 --> 00:24:19.380
 back

00:24:19.380 --> 00:24:19.720
 right

00:24:19.720 --> 00:24:20.820
 it's going

00:24:20.820 --> 00:24:21.019
 to be

00:24:21.019 --> 00:24:21.720
 for nothing

00:24:21.720 --> 00:24:22.980
 well I

00:24:22.980 --> 00:24:23.580
 wasn't as

00:24:23.580 --> 00:24:24.019
 wise as

00:24:24.019 --> 00:24:24.500
 he was

00:24:24.500 --> 00:24:24.740
 so I

00:24:24.740 --> 00:24:25.019
 did my

00:24:25.019 --> 00:24:25.420
 homework

00:24:25.420 --> 00:24:26.460
 but at

00:24:26.460 --> 00:24:26.640
 the end

00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:26.860
 of the

00:24:26.860 --> 00:24:27.060
 year

00:24:27.060 --> 00:24:27.300
 Joe

00:24:27.300 --> 00:24:27.480
 didn't

00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:27.620
 do

00:24:27.620 --> 00:24:27.800
 any

00:24:27.800 --> 00:24:28.160
 homework

00:24:28.160 --> 00:24:28.440
 and

00:24:28.440 --> 00:24:28.700
 Jesus

00:24:28.700 --> 00:24:28.920
 didn't

00:24:28.920 --> 00:24:29.120
 come

00:24:29.120 --> 00:24:29.440
 back

00:24:29.440 --> 00:24:29.560
 and

00:24:29.560 --> 00:24:29.640
 you

00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:29.740
 know

00:24:29.740 --> 00:24:29.840
 what

00:24:29.840 --> 00:24:30.259
 happened

00:24:30.259 --> 00:24:32.660
 Joe

00:24:32.660 --> 00:24:32.860
 Little

00:24:32.860 --> 00:24:33.120
 Page

00:24:33.120 --> 00:24:33.360
 was in

00:24:33.360 --> 00:24:33.540
 my

00:24:33.540 --> 00:24:33.880
 class

00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:34.140
 next

00:24:34.140 --> 00:24:34.440
 year

00:24:34.440 --> 00:24:36.160
 because

00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:36.280
 he

00:24:36.280 --> 00:24:36.700
 failed

00:24:36.700 --> 00:24:38.860
 and

00:24:38.859 --> 00:24:39.000
 then

00:24:39.000 --> 00:24:39.139
 in

00:24:39.139 --> 00:24:39.240
 the

00:24:39.240 --> 00:24:39.619
 university

00:24:39.619 --> 00:24:39.859
 in

00:24:39.859 --> 00:24:40.500
 1988

00:24:40.500 --> 00:24:40.899
 I

00:24:40.899 --> 00:24:41.039
 was

00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:41.159
 in

00:24:41.159 --> 00:24:41.579
 university

00:24:41.579 --> 00:24:41.859
 just

00:24:43.819 --> 00:24:43.979

00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:44.659

00:24:44.659 --> 00:24:45.079
 came out

00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:45.299
 with a

00:24:45.299 --> 00:24:45.459
 book

00:24:45.459 --> 00:24:45.699

00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:46.859
 88

00:24:46.859 --> 00:24:47.519
 reasons

00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:48.219
 why

00:24:48.219 --> 00:24:48.559
 Jesus

00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:48.759
 is

00:24:48.759 --> 00:24:48.879
 going

00:24:48.879 --> 00:24:48.939

00:26:39.559 --> 00:26:42.299
 that many

 focus

00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:45.059
 on

00:26:45.059 --> 00:26:45.299
 these

00:26:45.299 --> 00:26:45.619
 things

00:26:45.619 --> 00:26:45.819

00:26:45.819 --> 00:26:46.019
 building

00:26:46.019 --> 00:26:46.379
 our

00:26:51.339 --> 00:26:53.000
 and so

00:26:53.000 --> 00:26:53.240
 Jesus

00:26:53.240 --> 00:26:53.619
 wants

00:26:59.779 --> 00:27:00.319
 he says

00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:00.659
 they were

00:27:00.659 --> 00:27:00.980
 eating

00:27:00.980 --> 00:27:01.359
 and they

00:27:01.359 --> 00:27:01.460
 were

00:27:01.460 --> 00:27:01.799
 drinking

00:27:01.799 --> 00:27:02.139
 in the

00:27:02.139 --> 00:27:02.339
 days

00:27:02.339 --> 00:27:02.460
 of

00:27:02.460 --> 00:27:02.639
 Noah

00:27:02.639 --> 00:27:02.899
 and they

00:27:02.899 --> 00:27:03.019
 were

00:27:03.019 --> 00:27:03.339
 marrying

00:27:03.339 --> 00:27:03.559
 and they

00:27:03.559 --> 00:27:03.659
 were

00:27:03.659 --> 00:27:03.879
 giving

00:27:03.879 --> 00:27:04.039
 a

00:27:04.039 --> 00:27:04.319
 marriage

00:27:04.319 --> 00:27:04.960
 until

00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:05.119
 the

00:27:05.119 --> 00:27:05.240
 day

00:27:05.240 --> 00:27:05.339
 of

00:27:05.339 --> 00:27:05.460
 Noah

00:27:05.460 --> 00:27:05.680
 entered

00:27:05.680 --> 00:27:05.839
 the

00:27:05.839 --> 00:27:06.019
 ark

00:27:06.019 --> 00:27:06.259
 and the

00:27:06.259 --> 00:27:06.419
 flood

00:27:06.419 --> 00:27:06.659
 came

00:27:06.659 --> 00:27:06.779
 and

00:27:06.779 --> 00:27:07.099
 destroyed

00:27:07.099 --> 00:27:07.299
 them

00:27:07.299 --> 00:27:07.480
 all

00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:08.139
 and it's

00:27:08.139 --> 00:27:08.319
 very

00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:08.639
 interesting

00:27:08.639 --> 00:27:08.779
 here

00:27:08.779 --> 00:27:08.879
 because

00:27:15.299 --> 00:27:16.619
 they

00:27:16.619 --> 00:27:16.960
 had a

00:27:16.960 --> 00:27:17.180
 lot

00:27:17.180 --> 00:27:17.319
 of

00:27:17.319 --> 00:27:17.799
 problems

00:27:17.799 --> 00:27:19.460
 I

00:27:19.460 --> 00:27:19.559
 mean

00:27:19.559 --> 00:27:19.700
 they

00:27:19.700 --> 00:27:19.859
 were

00:27:19.859 --> 00:27:20.379
 really

00:27:20.379 --> 00:27:21.919
 wicked

00:27:21.919 --> 00:27:22.579
 bad

00:27:22.579 --> 00:27:23.240
 people

00:27:23.240 --> 00:27:25.399
 but

00:27:25.399 --> 00:27:25.659
 Jesus

00:27:25.659 --> 00:27:26.000
 doesn't

00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:26.299
 talk

00:27:26.299 --> 00:27:26.519
 about

00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:26.700
 their

00:27:26.700 --> 00:27:27.319
 wickedness

00:27:27.319 --> 00:27:28.519
 and

00:27:28.519 --> 00:27:28.659
 their

00:27:28.659 --> 00:27:29.220
 badness

00:27:29.220 --> 00:27:31.720
 what

00:27:31.720 --> 00:27:31.859
 does

00:27:31.859 --> 00:27:32.279
 he say

00:27:32.279 --> 00:27:32.619
 there

00:27:32.619 --> 00:27:33.359
 he

00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:33.519
 says

00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:33.659
 well

00:27:33.659 --> 00:27:33.799
 they

00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:33.919
 were

00:27:33.919 --> 00:27:34.200
 eating

00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:34.419
 and

00:27:34.419 --> 00:27:34.559
 they

00:27:34.559 --> 00:27:34.680
 were

00:27:39.200 --> 00:27:39.819
 consumed

00:27:39.819 --> 00:27:40.319
 in

00:27:40.319 --> 00:27:40.460
 the

00:28:47.920 --> 00:28:48.100
 I'm

00:28:48.100 --> 00:28:48.420
 busy

00:28:48.420 --> 00:28:49.539
 things

00:28:49.539 --> 00:28:49.880
 are

00:28:49.880 --> 00:28:50.340
 happening

00:28:50.340 --> 00:28:54.279
 and

00:28:54.279 --> 00:28:54.519
 Jesus

00:28:54.519 --> 00:28:54.900
 says

00:28:54.900 --> 00:28:55.079
 that

00:28:55.079 --> 00:28:55.680
 sometimes

00:28:55.680 --> 00:28:56.039
 we

00:28:56.039 --> 00:28:56.380
 become

00:28:56.380 --> 00:28:56.840
 so

00:28:56.840 --> 00:28:57.940
 focused

00:28:57.940 --> 00:28:58.400
 so

00:28:58.400 --> 00:28:58.960
 wrapped

00:28:58.960 --> 00:28:59.200
 up

00:28:59.200 --> 00:28:59.340
 in

00:28:59.340 --> 00:28:59.480
 the

00:28:59.480 --> 00:28:59.860
 things

00:28:59.860 --> 00:29:00.079
 of

00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:00.299
 this

00:29:00.299 --> 00:29:00.720
 world

00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:00.900
 and

00:29:00.900 --> 00:29:01.000
 in

00:29:01.000 --> 00:29:01.120
 the

00:29:01.120 --> 00:29:01.579
 busyness

00:29:01.579 --> 00:29:03.299
 of

00:29:03.299 --> 00:29:03.700
 life

00:29:03.700 --> 00:29:03.840
 that

00:29:03.840 --> 00:29:03.960
 we

00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:04.559
 misplace

00:29:04.559 --> 00:29:05.380
 reality

00:29:05.380 --> 00:29:07.779
 and we

00:29:07.779 --> 00:29:08.019
 forget

00:29:08.019 --> 00:29:08.160
 that

00:29:08.160 --> 00:29:08.360
 there's

00:29:08.359 --> 00:29:08.579
 a

00:29:08.579 --> 00:29:08.959
 spiritual

00:29:08.959 --> 00:29:09.519
 reality

00:29:09.519 --> 00:29:09.879
 which

00:29:09.879 --> 00:29:10.559
 supersedes

00:29:10.559 --> 00:29:11.339
 all

00:29:11.339 --> 00:29:12.299
 realities

00:29:12.299 --> 00:29:14.399
 and that

00:29:14.399 --> 00:29:14.699
 spiritual

00:29:14.699 --> 00:29:15.059
 reality

00:29:15.059 --> 00:29:15.339
 is that

00:29:15.339 --> 00:29:15.839
 one day

00:29:15.839 --> 00:29:16.819
 God

00:29:16.819 --> 00:29:17.500
 is going

00:29:17.500 --> 00:29:17.779
 to come

00:29:17.779 --> 00:29:18.219
 again

00:29:18.219 --> 00:29:20.679
 so we're

00:29:20.679 --> 00:29:21.039
 told in

00:29:21.039 --> 00:29:21.559
 this passage

00:29:21.559 --> 00:29:21.919
 in Noah

00:29:21.919 --> 00:29:22.199
 that the

00:29:22.199 --> 00:29:22.479
 people

00:29:22.479 --> 00:29:23.379
 they basically

00:29:23.379 --> 00:29:23.939
 just stopped

00:29:23.939 --> 00:29:24.439
 listening to

00:29:24.439 --> 00:29:24.879
 the crazy

00:29:24.879 --> 00:29:25.240
 man

00:29:25.240 --> 00:29:26.740
 the crazy

00:29:26.740 --> 00:29:27.119
 man for

00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:27.799
 120 years

00:29:27.799 --> 00:29:28.279
 starts speaking

00:29:28.279 --> 00:29:28.679
 of God

00:29:28.679 --> 00:29:29.139
 speaking of

00:29:29.139 --> 00:29:29.339
 God

00:29:29.339 --> 00:29:29.740
 speaking of

00:29:29.740 --> 00:29:29.919
 God

00:29:29.919 --> 00:29:30.419
 and they

00:29:30.419 --> 00:29:30.679
 just got

00:29:30.679 --> 00:29:31.119
 so numb

00:29:31.119 --> 00:29:31.359
 they got

00:29:31.359 --> 00:29:31.799
 so tired

00:29:31.799 --> 00:29:32.039
 they don't

00:29:32.039 --> 00:29:32.240
 want to

00:29:32.240 --> 00:29:32.759
 hear of

00:29:32.759 --> 00:29:32.979
 God

00:29:32.979 --> 00:29:33.519
 anymore

00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:34.719
 and he's

00:29:34.719 --> 00:29:35.159
 building this

00:29:35.159 --> 00:29:35.479
 ark for

00:29:35.479 --> 00:29:35.919
 their rescue

00:29:35.919 --> 00:29:37.159
 and he

00:29:37.159 --> 00:29:37.719
 basically says

00:29:37.719 --> 00:29:38.019
 in this

00:29:38.019 --> 00:29:38.319
 passage

00:29:38.319 --> 00:29:38.879
 they listened

00:29:38.879 --> 00:29:39.259
 to him

00:29:39.259 --> 00:29:39.579
 and then

00:29:39.579 --> 00:29:40.200
 they mocked

00:29:40.200 --> 00:29:40.460
 him

00:29:40.460 --> 00:29:43.000
 they made

00:29:43.000 --> 00:29:43.319
 fun of

00:29:43.319 --> 00:29:43.900
 his message

00:29:43.900 --> 00:29:45.599
 the Hebrew

00:29:45.599 --> 00:29:46.200
 in the Greek

00:29:46.200 --> 00:29:46.779
 basically says

00:29:46.779 --> 00:29:47.240
 they were just

00:29:47.240 --> 00:29:47.740
 indifferent

00:29:47.740 --> 00:29:50.059
 they were just

00:29:50.059 --> 00:29:50.759
 living life

00:29:50.759 --> 00:29:51.299
 they were living

00:29:51.299 --> 00:29:51.980
 their world

00:29:51.980 --> 00:29:52.819
 they were doing

00:29:52.819 --> 00:29:53.240
 their business

00:29:53.240 --> 00:29:53.700
 thing

00:29:53.700 --> 00:29:54.339
 they were doing

00:29:54.339 --> 00:29:54.799
 all the things

00:29:54.799 --> 00:29:55.180
 they were supposed

00:29:55.180 --> 00:29:55.420
 to do

00:29:55.420 --> 00:29:55.900
 until that day

00:29:55.900 --> 00:29:56.400
 that God

00:29:56.400 --> 00:29:57.500
 closes that

00:29:57.500 --> 00:29:57.980
 door

00:29:57.980 --> 00:30:00.279
 and then all

00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:00.519
 of them

00:30:00.519 --> 00:30:01.339
 are destroyed

00:30:01.339 --> 00:30:04.960
 Peter

00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:05.660
 and 1 Peter

00:30:05.660 --> 00:30:06.200
 says it this

00:30:06.200 --> 00:30:06.860
 way to us

00:30:06.860 --> 00:30:07.980
 he says

00:30:07.980 --> 00:30:08.500
 as in the

00:30:08.500 --> 00:30:08.960
 days of

00:30:08.960 --> 00:30:09.319
 Noah

00:30:11.819 --> 00:30:12.519
 watermark

 will mock

00:30:14.759 --> 00:30:15.100

00:30:20.259 --> 00:30:20.559
 at your

00:30:20.559 --> 00:30:21.140

00:30:21.140 --> 00:30:22.380
 you will

00:30:22.380 --> 00:30:23.019
 be surrounded

00:30:23.019 --> 00:30:24.279
 by mockers

00:30:24.279 --> 00:30:26.660
 but Peter

00:30:26.660 --> 00:30:27.039
 says be

 again

00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:33.220
 and just

00:30:33.220 --> 00:30:33.779
 as Jesus

00:30:33.779 --> 00:30:34.720
 and God

00:30:34.720 --> 00:30:35.200
 took care

 it's the

00:30:47.380 --> 00:30:47.759
 same in

 Lot's

00:30:48.180 --> 00:30:48.420
 day

 Lot's

00:30:49.259 --> 00:30:49.559
 was the

00:30:49.559 --> 00:30:49.839
 same

00:30:49.839 --> 00:30:50.160
 thing

00:30:50.160 --> 00:30:50.440
 he says

00:30:50.440 --> 00:30:50.680
 in that

00:30:50.680 --> 00:30:50.859
 day

00:30:50.859 --> 00:30:51.119
 they were

00:30:51.119 --> 00:30:51.440
 eating

00:30:51.440 --> 00:30:51.819
 they were

00:30:51.819 --> 00:30:52.119
 drinking

00:30:52.119 --> 00:30:52.460
 they were

00:30:52.460 --> 00:30:52.799
 buying

00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:53.140
 they were

00:30:53.140 --> 00:30:53.480
 selling

00:30:53.480 --> 00:30:53.779
 they were

00:30:53.779 --> 00:30:54.140
 planting

00:30:54.140 --> 00:30:54.500
 they were

00:30:54.500 --> 00:30:54.880
 building

00:30:54.880 --> 00:30:56.000
 they were

00:30:56.000 --> 00:30:56.359
 doing all

00:30:56.359 --> 00:30:56.619
 these

00:30:56.619 --> 00:30:57.140
 things

00:30:57.140 --> 00:30:57.619
 they're

00:30:57.619 --> 00:30:58.039
 not bad

00:30:58.039 --> 00:30:58.640
 things

00:30:58.640 --> 00:30:59.940
 but it

00:30:59.940 --> 00:31:00.340
 says they

00:31:00.340 --> 00:31:01.880
 focused on

00:31:01.880 --> 00:31:02.580
 these things

00:31:02.580 --> 00:31:03.520
 so much

00:31:03.520 --> 00:31:04.759
 that they

00:31:04.759 --> 00:31:05.220
 were indifferent

00:31:05.220 --> 00:31:05.820
 to spiritual

00:31:05.820 --> 00:31:06.180
 things

00:31:06.180 --> 00:31:06.380
 they were

00:31:06.380 --> 00:31:06.600
 indifferent

00:31:06.600 --> 00:31:06.900
 to the

00:31:06.900 --> 00:31:07.080
 things

00:31:07.080 --> 00:31:07.660
 of God

00:31:07.660 --> 00:31:08.780
 they were

00:31:08.780 --> 00:31:09.580
 preoccupied

00:31:09.580 --> 00:31:09.960
 with building

00:31:09.960 --> 00:31:10.480
 their own

00:31:10.480 --> 00:31:10.920
 kingdom

00:31:10.920 --> 00:31:14.540
 and they

00:31:14.540 --> 00:31:14.820
 were not

00:31:14.820 --> 00:31:15.080
 building

00:31:15.080 --> 00:31:15.600
 God's

00:31:15.600 --> 00:31:15.980
 kingdom

00:31:15.980 --> 00:31:19.000
 the third

00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:19.340
 shortest

00:31:19.340 --> 00:31:19.860
 verse in

00:31:19.860 --> 00:31:20.220
 all the

00:31:20.220 --> 00:31:20.560
 Bible

00:31:20.560 --> 00:31:22.280
 remember

00:31:22.280 --> 00:31:23.380
 Lot's

00:31:23.380 --> 00:31:24.020
 wife

00:31:24.020 --> 00:31:25.820
 and it's

00:31:25.820 --> 00:31:26.220
 this message

00:31:26.220 --> 00:31:26.640
 that Lot

00:31:26.640 --> 00:31:27.160
 was part of

00:31:27.160 --> 00:31:27.640
 the escape

00:31:27.640 --> 00:31:28.340
 she escaped

00:31:28.339 --> 00:31:28.879
 again

00:31:28.879 --> 00:31:29.419
 God gave

00:31:29.419 --> 00:31:29.839
 grace

00:31:29.839 --> 00:31:30.199
 he gave

00:31:30.199 --> 00:31:30.639
 a message

00:31:30.639 --> 00:31:31.240
 he brought

00:31:31.240 --> 00:31:31.619
 the message

00:31:31.619 --> 00:31:31.939
 to the

00:31:31.939 --> 00:31:32.139
 man

00:31:32.139 --> 00:31:32.419
 Lot

00:31:32.419 --> 00:31:33.019
 he brought

00:31:33.019 --> 00:31:33.399
 a messenger

00:31:33.399 --> 00:31:33.980
 he brought

00:31:33.980 --> 00:31:34.179
 a way

00:31:34.179 --> 00:31:34.740
 to escape

00:31:34.740 --> 00:31:35.259
 from the

00:31:35.259 --> 00:31:35.740
 disaster

00:31:35.740 --> 00:31:36.539
 and Lot

00:31:36.539 --> 00:31:37.119
 spent the

00:31:37.119 --> 00:31:37.319
 night

00:31:37.319 --> 00:31:37.899
 sharing

00:31:37.899 --> 00:31:38.359
 with all

00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:38.539
 his

00:31:38.539 --> 00:31:39.399
 son-in-laws

00:31:39.399 --> 00:31:39.839
 and everybody

00:31:39.839 --> 00:31:40.240
 around him

00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:40.599
 this is what's

00:31:40.599 --> 00:31:41.019
 going to happen

00:31:41.019 --> 00:31:41.659
 and you know

00:31:41.659 --> 00:31:42.000
 what the Bible

00:31:42.000 --> 00:31:42.519
 says

00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:45.299
 they mocked

00:31:45.299 --> 00:31:45.579
 him

00:31:45.579 --> 00:31:48.240
 they laughed

00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:48.619
 at him

00:31:48.619 --> 00:31:50.159
 this is an

00:31:50.159 --> 00:31:50.799
 amazing city

00:31:50.799 --> 00:31:51.079
 we have

00:31:51.079 --> 00:31:51.500
 everything we

00:31:51.500 --> 00:31:51.759
 need here

00:31:51.759 --> 00:31:52.019
 how could

00:31:52.019 --> 00:31:52.500
 that happen

00:31:52.500 --> 00:31:54.319
 oh come

00:31:54.319 --> 00:31:54.799
 on

00:31:54.799 --> 00:31:56.679
 I think

00:31:56.679 --> 00:31:56.899
 you've been

00:31:56.899 --> 00:31:57.319
 drinking a little

00:31:57.319 --> 00:31:57.619
 too much

00:31:57.619 --> 00:31:57.919
 Lot

00:31:57.920 --> 00:32:01.320
 in that

00:32:01.320 --> 00:32:01.700
 day

00:32:01.700 --> 00:32:02.380
 Jesus

00:32:02.380 --> 00:32:02.759
 sends

00:32:02.759 --> 00:32:02.980
 these

00:32:02.980 --> 00:32:03.400
 angels

00:32:03.400 --> 00:32:03.759
 and they

00:32:03.759 --> 00:32:04.039
 have to

00:32:04.039 --> 00:32:05.000
 physically

00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:06.100
 pull Lot

00:32:06.100 --> 00:32:06.620
 out of the

00:32:06.620 --> 00:32:06.900
 city

00:32:06.900 --> 00:32:09.019
 because he's

00:32:09.019 --> 00:32:09.519
 still trying

00:32:09.519 --> 00:32:09.940
 to talk

00:32:09.940 --> 00:32:10.460
 to people

00:32:10.460 --> 00:32:11.700
 and he's

00:32:11.700 --> 00:32:12.100
 uncertain

00:32:12.100 --> 00:32:12.400
 of what's

00:32:12.400 --> 00:32:12.580
 going to

00:32:12.580 --> 00:32:12.920
 happen to

00:32:12.920 --> 00:32:13.200
 the people

00:32:13.200 --> 00:32:13.840
 he loves

00:32:13.840 --> 00:32:15.560
 and they

00:32:15.560 --> 00:32:16.019
 run to the

00:32:16.019 --> 00:32:16.259
 hills

00:32:16.259 --> 00:32:16.500
 and we're

00:32:16.500 --> 00:32:16.779
 told

00:32:16.779 --> 00:32:17.840
 remember

00:32:17.840 --> 00:32:18.840
 Lot's

00:32:18.840 --> 00:32:19.180
 wife

00:32:19.180 --> 00:32:19.680
 because in

00:32:19.680 --> 00:32:20.200
 that passage

00:32:20.200 --> 00:32:21.460
 she escaped

00:32:21.460 --> 00:32:23.000
 at the beginning

00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:23.560
 but that she

00:32:23.560 --> 00:32:24.620
 turned back

00:32:24.619 --> 00:32:26.039
 and as she

00:32:26.039 --> 00:32:26.539
 turned back

00:32:26.539 --> 00:32:26.899
 to look

00:32:26.899 --> 00:32:27.639
 at her

00:32:27.639 --> 00:32:28.159
 world

00:32:28.159 --> 00:32:28.559
 that was

00:32:28.559 --> 00:32:29.139
 all about

00:32:29.139 --> 00:32:29.839
 her kingdom

00:32:29.839 --> 00:32:31.199
 we're told

00:32:31.199 --> 00:32:31.519
 that she

00:32:31.519 --> 00:32:32.039
 was covered

00:32:32.039 --> 00:32:32.500
 in burning

00:32:32.500 --> 00:32:33.019
 pitch and

00:32:33.019 --> 00:32:33.559
 asphalt

00:32:33.559 --> 00:32:34.939
 and she

00:32:34.939 --> 00:32:35.659
 was destroyed

00:32:35.659 --> 00:32:38.299
 the Hebrew

00:32:38.299 --> 00:32:39.079
 says that her

00:32:39.079 --> 00:32:39.519
 heart

00:32:39.519 --> 00:32:41.079
 was captured

00:32:41.079 --> 00:32:43.179
 by something

00:32:43.179 --> 00:32:43.679
 else

00:32:43.679 --> 00:32:46.839
 and I read

00:32:46.839 --> 00:32:47.299
 this passage

00:32:47.299 --> 00:32:47.719
 and I wonder

00:32:47.719 --> 00:32:48.139
 about us

00:32:48.139 --> 00:32:48.739
 today guys

00:32:48.739 --> 00:32:50.000
 if we're honest

00:32:50.000 --> 00:32:50.579
 in the dark

00:32:50.579 --> 00:32:51.239
 places of our

00:32:51.239 --> 00:32:51.779
 world

00:32:51.779 --> 00:32:52.160
 and in our

00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:52.500
 lives

00:32:52.500 --> 00:32:52.740
 we were

00:32:52.740 --> 00:32:53.079
 talking

00:32:53.079 --> 00:32:53.359
 with a

00:32:53.359 --> 00:32:53.539
 friend

00:32:53.539 --> 00:32:54.119
 at coffee

00:32:54.119 --> 00:32:54.660
 today

00:32:54.660 --> 00:32:56.759
 what would

00:32:56.759 --> 00:32:57.359
 we share

00:32:57.359 --> 00:32:58.859
 that our

00:32:58.859 --> 00:32:59.240
 hearts

00:32:59.240 --> 00:33:01.660
 are captured

00:33:01.660 --> 00:33:02.000
 by

00:33:02.000 --> 00:33:04.859
 is it the

00:33:04.859 --> 00:33:05.240
 coming of

00:33:05.240 --> 00:33:05.539
 God

00:33:05.539 --> 00:33:06.099
 is it God's

00:33:06.099 --> 00:33:06.379
 greatness

00:33:06.379 --> 00:33:07.059
 is it God's

00:33:07.059 --> 00:33:07.359
 goodness

00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:09.460
 or is it our

00:33:09.460 --> 00:33:10.059
 kingdom and the

00:33:10.059 --> 00:33:10.440
 things that we're

00:33:10.440 --> 00:33:11.079
 clinging to

00:33:11.079 --> 00:33:13.940
 and finally

00:33:13.940 --> 00:33:14.619
 Jesus shares

00:33:14.619 --> 00:33:15.099
 at the very

00:33:15.099 --> 00:33:15.319
 end

00:33:15.319 --> 00:33:15.519
 verses

00:33:15.519 --> 00:33:17.599
 34-37

00:33:17.599 --> 00:33:18.660
 he says

00:33:18.660 --> 00:33:18.839
 this

00:33:18.839 --> 00:33:19.160
 he says

00:33:19.160 --> 00:33:19.539
 Tobin

00:33:19.539 --> 00:33:21.200
 the same

00:33:21.200 --> 00:33:21.379
 is going to

00:33:21.380 --> 00:33:21.660
 be true

00:33:21.660 --> 00:33:21.920
 in your

00:33:21.920 --> 00:33:22.280
 day

00:33:22.280 --> 00:33:24.180
 people are

00:33:24.180 --> 00:33:24.240
 going to

00:33:24.240 --> 00:33:24.560
 be eating

00:33:24.560 --> 00:33:24.740
 they're

00:33:24.740 --> 00:33:24.860
 going to

00:33:24.860 --> 00:33:24.960
 be

00:33:24.960 --> 00:33:25.260
 drinking

00:33:25.260 --> 00:33:25.480
 they're

00:33:25.520 --> 00:33:25.540
 going

00:33:25.540 --> 00:33:25.680
 to be

00:33:25.680 --> 00:33:25.940
 sleeping

00:33:25.940 --> 00:33:26.080
 they're

00:33:26.080 --> 00:33:26.200
 going to

00:33:26.200 --> 00:33:26.300
 be

00:33:26.300 --> 00:33:27.220
 planning

00:33:27.220 --> 00:33:27.420
 they're

00:33:27.420 --> 00:33:27.540
 going to

00:33:27.540 --> 00:33:27.580
 be

00:33:27.580 --> 00:33:27.900
 building

00:33:27.900 --> 00:33:28.080
 they're

00:33:28.080 --> 00:33:28.160
 going to

00:33:28.160 --> 00:33:28.700
 rebuilding

00:33:28.700 --> 00:33:28.940
 they're

00:33:28.940 --> 00:33:29.320
 building

00:33:29.320 --> 00:33:29.460
 more

00:33:29.460 --> 00:33:29.700
 houses

00:33:29.700 --> 00:33:29.860
 they're

00:33:29.860 --> 00:33:30.280
 marrying

00:33:30.280 --> 00:33:30.480
 they're

00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:30.600
 going to

00:33:30.600 --> 00:33:31.020
 be

00:33:31.020 --> 00:33:31.380
 all

00:33:31.380 --> 00:33:31.600
 and all

00:33:31.600 --> 00:33:31.980
 these

00:33:31.980 --> 00:33:32.240
 things

00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:33.560
 are

00:33:33.560 --> 00:33:33.960
 great

00:33:33.960 --> 00:33:35.540
 but also

00:33:35.540 --> 00:33:35.740
 there's

00:33:35.740 --> 00:33:35.920
 going to be

00:33:35.920 --> 00:33:36.000
 this

00:33:36.000 --> 00:33:36.340
 massive

00:33:36.340 --> 00:33:36.700
 trumpet

00:33:36.700 --> 00:33:37.020
 sound

00:33:37.020 --> 00:33:37.200
 and

00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:37.660
 some

00:33:37.660 --> 00:33:37.860
 people

00:33:37.860 --> 00:33:37.960
 are

00:33:37.960 --> 00:33:38.040
 going

00:33:38.040 --> 00:33:38.060
 to

00:33:38.060 --> 00:33:38.160
 be

00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:38.420
 taken

00:33:38.420 --> 00:33:38.600
 and

00:33:38.600 --> 00:33:38.720
 some

00:33:38.720 --> 00:33:38.880
 people

00:33:38.880 --> 00:33:38.940
 are

00:33:38.940 --> 00:33:39.020
 going

00:33:39.020 --> 00:33:40.260
 to

00:33:40.260 --> 00:33:40.680
 be

00:33:40.680 --> 00:33:40.960
 left

00:33:40.960 --> 00:33:41.120
 guy

00:33:41.120 --> 00:33:41.380
ay

00:33:41.580 --> 00:33:41.980
 to

00:33:51.380 --> 00:33:54.940
 it's interesting, I think this passage is amazing

00:33:54.940 --> 00:33:57.640
 because at the end, Jesus gives us how to survive.

00:33:59.200 --> 00:34:01.520
 On the way to church today, I have the privilege of,

00:34:01.620 --> 00:34:03.160
 you know, I always talk to my kids, and so we're driving,

00:34:03.820 --> 00:34:05.720
 and so I just thought, well, I'll ask Kip something.

00:34:06.260 --> 00:34:07.540
 And so we're driving down here, I said, Kip,

00:34:09.119 --> 00:34:12.420
 which is always a risk when you ask a 10-year-old boy something, right?

00:34:12.480 --> 00:34:13.220
 Especially spiritual.

00:34:14.860 --> 00:34:16.680
 Because sometimes they tend to be kind of sarcastic.

00:34:18.019 --> 00:34:20.400
 I said, Kip, if you knew that Jesus was going to come back this week,

00:34:20.420 --> 00:34:21.059
 what would you do?

00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:23.559
 And he looked at me, and he goes,

00:34:24.380 --> 00:34:28.200
 I would go to Jerusalem.

00:34:29.380 --> 00:34:31.000
 I was like, wow.

00:34:32.539 --> 00:34:33.900
 Good Sunday school teachers here.

00:34:35.200 --> 00:34:36.440
 I said, why would you do that?

00:34:37.059 --> 00:34:38.900
 He goes, that's when Jesus is going to come back first.

00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:40.900
 I want to be there.

00:34:42.180 --> 00:34:42.740
 I said, whoa.

00:34:43.680 --> 00:34:45.160
 I said, would there be anything else you would do?

00:34:45.480 --> 00:34:48.000
 He goes, well, of course I wouldn't go to school.

00:34:49.960 --> 00:34:51.099
 That's like a no-brainer, right?

00:34:51.099 --> 00:34:52.559
 You're stupid if you think I'm going to go to school.

00:34:53.619 --> 00:34:56.159
 But let me, you know, this just came to me as I'm thinking about this.

00:34:56.659 --> 00:35:04.440
 This passage does not say that everybody in J.P. Morgan, when God comes again,

00:35:04.900 --> 00:35:06.279
 gets judged and gets burned.

00:35:07.079 --> 00:35:09.599
 And then everybody else who's in church praying, they get saved.

00:35:10.159 --> 00:35:10.880
 Sorry about that, Howard.

00:35:11.460 --> 00:35:13.019
 But it doesn't say that, right?

00:35:13.759 --> 00:35:19.300
 It doesn't say everybody doing spiritual things is saved and everybody doing normal things is destroyed.

00:35:19.380 --> 00:35:20.579
 It doesn't say that.

00:35:21.559 --> 00:35:23.219
 It says there will be some people in J.P. Morgan,

00:35:24.300 --> 00:35:25.900
 some,

00:35:26.420 --> 00:35:28.360
 who know

00:35:28.360 --> 00:35:30.960
 that the purpose of their life

00:35:30.960 --> 00:35:33.259
 is to build God's kingdom.

00:35:33.260 --> 00:35:37.560
 And when that end time comes,

00:35:37.640 --> 00:35:38.400
 they'll be saved.

00:35:40.480 --> 00:35:41.340
 And there'll be some people

00:35:41.340 --> 00:35:42.860
 at Hong Kong U

00:35:42.860 --> 00:35:46.420
 who live their life

00:35:46.420 --> 00:35:49.620
 with the express purpose of building their kingdom.

00:35:49.619 --> 00:35:55.299
 And the passage says that they'll enter into judgment

00:35:55.299 --> 00:35:57.960
 and be lost.

00:35:59.719 --> 00:36:02.500
 So he doesn't say it's more spiritual to be praying than working.

00:36:02.960 --> 00:36:03.519
 I think, you know,

00:36:03.599 --> 00:36:05.119
 sometimes I ask older people,

00:36:05.199 --> 00:36:06.059
 I say, what would you do if Jesus,

00:36:06.339 --> 00:36:06.699
 excuse me,

00:36:06.719 --> 00:36:08.139
 if you knew Jesus was going to come back next week?

00:36:08.159 --> 00:36:08.659
 And they usually say,

00:36:08.699 --> 00:36:09.619
 well, I'm going to quit my job.

00:36:11.159 --> 00:36:12.299
 I got other things to do.

00:36:12.300 --> 00:36:16.240
 And what I want to share to you is your job

00:36:16.240 --> 00:36:18.080
 is your thing to do.

00:36:19.840 --> 00:36:22.560
 God has you working next to people

00:36:22.560 --> 00:36:24.800
 because they have to hear the message.

00:36:27.680 --> 00:36:29.220
 And yeah, they might mock you.

00:36:31.019 --> 00:36:31.840
 But that's okay

00:36:31.840 --> 00:36:32.860
 because God is in control

00:36:32.860 --> 00:36:33.539
 and God is good

00:36:33.539 --> 00:36:34.720
 and God is the one who changes hearts,

00:36:34.800 --> 00:36:35.240
 not you.

00:36:39.740 --> 00:36:40.920
 Two people were working

00:36:40.920 --> 00:36:41.680
 and one was taken

00:36:41.679 --> 00:36:42.379
 and one was left.

00:36:42.480 --> 00:36:43.379
 Two people were in a field

00:36:43.379 --> 00:36:43.980
 and one was taken

00:36:43.980 --> 00:36:44.619
 and one was left.

00:36:44.960 --> 00:36:46.239
 Two people were at the pool

00:36:46.239 --> 00:36:47.359
 talking and hanging out

00:36:47.359 --> 00:36:47.940
 and one was taken

00:36:47.940 --> 00:36:48.699
 and one was left.

00:36:51.460 --> 00:36:52.359
 Why were they taken?

00:36:54.359 --> 00:36:56.159
 Because they had been living life for so long

00:36:56.159 --> 00:36:56.659
 they forgot.

00:36:56.980 --> 00:36:58.819
 They became dull to spiritual reality.

00:36:58.960 --> 00:36:59.839
 They forgot that Christ

00:36:59.839 --> 00:37:00.799
 was going to come back again.

00:37:01.119 --> 00:37:01.919
 They thought that all this,

00:37:02.019 --> 00:37:03.539
 they forgot that all this was God's kingdom.

00:37:04.879 --> 00:37:05.940
 And in their forgetfulness

00:37:05.940 --> 00:37:07.299
 they started living for their own kingdom.

00:37:07.419 --> 00:37:08.539
 They started building their own kingdom.

00:37:08.539 --> 00:37:11.800
 That's why they're taken.

00:37:13.920 --> 00:37:15.279
 Because they forgot the reality

00:37:15.279 --> 00:37:16.500
 of Jesus coming again.

00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:21.239
 Jesus gives the answer.

00:37:22.300 --> 00:37:23.340
 The billion dollar answer

00:37:23.340 --> 00:37:24.400
 to the survival question.

00:37:25.400 --> 00:37:27.239
 He tells them this in verse 33.

00:37:28.699 --> 00:37:30.119
 Whoever seeks to keep his life

00:37:30.119 --> 00:37:30.800
 will lose it.

00:37:32.639 --> 00:37:34.219
 Whoever seeks to build his own kingdom

00:37:34.219 --> 00:37:35.159
 will lose it.

00:37:35.159 --> 00:37:38.920
 But whoever understands eternal realities

00:37:38.920 --> 00:37:40.659
 and loses his life for my sake

00:37:40.659 --> 00:37:42.519
 who starts to build my kingdom

00:37:42.519 --> 00:37:45.739
 he'll save it.

00:37:47.960 --> 00:37:49.679
 That's the million dollar survival question.

00:37:49.759 --> 00:37:51.199
 That's the eternal survival question.

00:37:51.319 --> 00:37:52.859
 How do we survive Christ's second coming?

00:37:53.199 --> 00:37:54.659
 It's by losing our lives.

00:37:56.719 --> 00:37:58.379
 Understanding eternal realities.

00:38:01.019 --> 00:38:02.559
 And living for God's kingdom.

00:38:02.559 --> 00:38:07.420
 I want to end with a couple questions

00:38:07.420 --> 00:38:08.880
 I've been asking myself this week.

00:38:11.420 --> 00:38:13.179
 What does it look like for you today

00:38:13.179 --> 00:38:16.500
 to be found ready for God's coming kingdom?

00:38:19.860 --> 00:38:22.019
 As you go to work tomorrow

00:38:22.019 --> 00:38:24.579
 and hopefully you're serving the Lord

00:38:24.579 --> 00:38:25.320
 and his kingdom.

00:38:27.019 --> 00:38:28.639
 What does it look like for you

00:38:28.639 --> 00:38:31.699
 to be ready for God's coming kingdom?

00:38:31.699 --> 00:38:34.199
 The passage says

00:38:34.199 --> 00:38:35.539
 it might not look like anything different

00:38:35.539 --> 00:38:37.019
 than the people right beside you.

00:38:38.199 --> 00:38:39.039
 Except for in your heart

00:38:39.039 --> 00:38:40.519
 you know there's this eternal reality.

00:38:40.659 --> 00:38:41.779
 There's this eternal thing happening

00:38:41.779 --> 00:38:42.500
 that's going to come

00:38:42.500 --> 00:38:44.599
 and it's going to separate everybody.

00:38:46.279 --> 00:38:47.319
 That might be the only difference.

00:38:47.399 --> 00:38:48.779
 It might not be seen outwardly.

00:38:49.219 --> 00:38:50.299
 Inwardly you know in your heart

00:38:50.299 --> 00:38:50.859
 and you're serving

00:38:50.859 --> 00:38:51.439
 and you're speaking

00:38:51.439 --> 00:38:52.339
 and you're talking to people

00:38:52.339 --> 00:38:53.000
 about the judgment

00:38:53.000 --> 00:38:54.139
 and you're being mocked

00:38:54.139 --> 00:38:54.919
 by you living differently

00:38:54.919 --> 00:38:55.699
 and people are asking you

00:38:55.699 --> 00:38:56.439
 well why do you go to church?

00:38:56.719 --> 00:38:57.799
 How come you waste so much time?

00:38:58.139 --> 00:38:59.000
 Why don't you work longer?

00:38:59.359 --> 00:39:00.599
 Why don't you keep your money

00:39:00.599 --> 00:39:01.239
 instead of tithing?

00:39:01.239 --> 00:39:01.919
 Because everybody knows

00:39:01.919 --> 00:39:03.279
 that's financially irresponsible.

00:39:03.819 --> 00:39:04.839
 Why don't you just hang out

00:39:04.839 --> 00:39:05.839
 with people who can help you

00:39:05.839 --> 00:39:06.839
 get a hit up in life?

00:39:06.919 --> 00:39:07.879
 These people don't have anything

00:39:07.879 --> 00:39:08.339
 to offer you.

00:39:08.379 --> 00:39:09.139
 They're too different than you.

00:39:09.199 --> 00:39:09.839
 They're too diverse.

00:39:10.279 --> 00:39:11.059
 Why don't you do these things?

00:39:11.119 --> 00:39:12.039
 Why don't you do those things?

00:39:15.419 --> 00:39:16.159
 And we're told

00:39:16.159 --> 00:39:17.419
 that as we live in God's kingdom

00:39:17.419 --> 00:39:18.619
 that we're going to be mocked.

00:39:20.199 --> 00:39:21.139
 So what does it mean for us

00:39:21.139 --> 00:39:22.419
 to be ready for God's kingdom?

00:39:22.539 --> 00:39:23.039
 For some of us

00:39:23.039 --> 00:39:25.199
 it might mean reading our Bible.

00:39:25.419 --> 00:39:25.979
 For some of us

00:39:25.979 --> 00:39:27.159
 it might mean praying more.

00:39:27.239 --> 00:39:27.659
 For some of us

00:39:27.659 --> 00:39:28.179
 it might mean getting

00:39:28.179 --> 00:39:28.879
 in a community group.

00:39:28.979 --> 00:39:29.419
 For some of us

00:39:29.419 --> 00:39:30.439
 it might be repenting.

00:39:30.440 --> 00:39:31.860
 For some of us

00:39:31.860 --> 00:39:32.400
 it might mean

00:39:32.400 --> 00:39:33.940
 buying one less house

00:39:33.940 --> 00:39:34.679
 and putting that money

00:39:34.679 --> 00:39:36.159
 towards God's kingdom

00:39:36.159 --> 00:39:37.380
 being built someplace else

00:39:37.380 --> 00:39:38.840
 or collecting one less watch

00:39:38.840 --> 00:39:39.300
 or book

00:39:39.300 --> 00:39:40.720
 or car

00:39:40.720 --> 00:39:41.639
 or whatever you collect.

00:39:41.679 --> 00:39:42.619
 We all collect things.

00:39:42.740 --> 00:39:44.179
 I collect Diet Coke cans

00:39:44.179 --> 00:39:45.760
 and books

00:39:45.760 --> 00:39:47.400
 and children.

00:39:48.920 --> 00:39:50.519
 I have four hopefully right now.

00:39:50.599 --> 00:39:51.659
 We're not getting any more, right?

00:39:52.400 --> 00:39:52.720
 Okay.

00:39:52.719 --> 00:39:55.179
 The second question

00:39:55.179 --> 00:39:55.919
 I want to ask is

00:39:55.919 --> 00:39:57.000
 what will you be found doing

00:39:57.000 --> 00:39:58.199
 when the lightning flashes?

00:40:00.579 --> 00:40:02.000
 What will you be found doing

00:40:02.000 --> 00:40:02.939
 when the lightning flashes?

00:40:06.799 --> 00:40:07.839
 Will you be eating

00:40:07.839 --> 00:40:08.459
 and drinking

00:40:08.459 --> 00:40:09.339
 and sleeping

00:40:09.339 --> 00:40:10.419
 and building

00:40:10.419 --> 00:40:11.519
 and collecting

00:40:11.519 --> 00:40:13.099
 and fixing

00:40:13.099 --> 00:40:14.559
 and getting married

00:40:14.559 --> 00:40:16.279
 and being married?

00:40:16.280 --> 00:40:17.900
 will your focus

00:40:17.900 --> 00:40:18.640
 be on Jesus

00:40:18.640 --> 00:40:19.700
 and his coming kingdom?

00:40:21.700 --> 00:40:22.380
 Will your focus

00:40:22.380 --> 00:40:22.900
 be on building

00:40:22.900 --> 00:40:23.480
 his kingdom

00:40:23.480 --> 00:40:23.960
 and realizing

00:40:23.960 --> 00:40:25.019
 that it's the eternal thing

00:40:25.019 --> 00:40:25.640
 it's the only thing

00:40:25.640 --> 00:40:26.260
 it's the only reason

00:40:26.260 --> 00:40:26.940
 why we're here?

00:40:28.940 --> 00:40:29.760
 Or will your focus

00:40:29.760 --> 00:40:30.360
 be on building

00:40:30.360 --> 00:40:31.260
 your own kingdom

00:40:31.260 --> 00:40:32.800
 for something

00:40:32.800 --> 00:40:33.460
 that will last

00:40:33.460 --> 00:40:34.460
 about one second

00:40:34.460 --> 00:40:35.180
 after you die?

00:40:37.780 --> 00:40:38.860
 What will you be found doing

00:40:38.860 --> 00:40:39.820
 when the lightning flashes?

00:40:39.820 --> 00:40:43.340
 How will we look different

00:40:43.340 --> 00:40:46.620
 as we live in such a way

00:40:46.620 --> 00:40:48.640
 to those around us?

00:40:50.480 --> 00:40:51.440
 Maybe a good question

00:40:51.440 --> 00:40:52.260
 to ask ourselves is

00:40:52.260 --> 00:40:53.700
 have we been mocked lately?

00:40:56.900 --> 00:40:58.080
 Has anybody in our world

00:40:58.080 --> 00:40:59.480
 mocked us for our words

00:40:59.480 --> 00:41:01.860
 and our lifestyle

00:41:01.860 --> 00:41:04.180
 and our values

00:41:04.180 --> 00:41:06.440
 and our ethics

00:41:06.440 --> 00:41:09.620
 and our character?

00:41:09.820 --> 00:41:12.260
 how we use our money

00:41:12.260 --> 00:41:13.039
 how we use our time

00:41:13.039 --> 00:41:13.760
 have we been mocked

00:41:13.760 --> 00:41:14.519
 for those things lately?

00:41:17.559 --> 00:41:18.320
 Jesus says

00:41:18.320 --> 00:41:18.800
 be careful

00:41:18.800 --> 00:41:19.800
 because you will be

00:41:19.800 --> 00:41:21.400
 but it's okay

00:41:21.400 --> 00:41:22.700
 because he's in control

00:41:22.700 --> 00:41:24.360
 and so the question is

00:41:24.360 --> 00:41:25.140
 what would our life

00:41:25.140 --> 00:41:25.580
 look different

00:41:25.580 --> 00:41:26.760
 than those around us?

00:41:29.100 --> 00:41:30.160
 The last question

00:41:30.160 --> 00:41:30.920
 is just this

00:41:30.920 --> 00:41:34.360
 when we read this passage

00:41:34.360 --> 00:41:36.160
 we forget

00:41:36.160 --> 00:41:37.320
 and we lose God's kingdom

00:41:37.320 --> 00:41:38.100
 when we forget

00:41:38.100 --> 00:41:38.700
 the idea

00:41:38.700 --> 00:41:39.500
 and the importance

00:41:39.500 --> 00:41:42.000
 that God has given us

00:41:42.000 --> 00:41:43.239
 something so much greater

00:41:43.239 --> 00:41:45.440
 than Noah

00:41:45.440 --> 00:41:47.480
 and Lot

00:41:47.480 --> 00:41:50.679
 Noah and Lot

00:41:50.679 --> 00:41:52.000
 came with a message

00:41:52.000 --> 00:41:53.059
 they struggled

00:41:53.059 --> 00:41:54.019
 they served

00:41:54.019 --> 00:41:55.340
 and they were mocked

00:41:55.340 --> 00:41:56.559
 for building a vehicle

00:41:56.559 --> 00:41:57.239
 for which people

00:41:57.239 --> 00:41:57.800
 could escape

00:41:57.800 --> 00:41:58.599
 God's judgment

00:41:58.599 --> 00:42:01.039
 but God gave us

00:42:01.039 --> 00:42:01.839
 his son Jesus

00:42:01.839 --> 00:42:04.099
 who came

00:42:04.099 --> 00:42:06.380
 who lived amongst us

00:42:06.380 --> 00:42:07.839
 who suffered

00:42:07.839 --> 00:42:08.559
 and did everything

00:42:08.559 --> 00:42:09.119
 that we do

00:42:09.119 --> 00:42:09.639
 and experienced

00:42:09.639 --> 00:42:10.259
 everything that we'll

00:42:10.259 --> 00:42:10.900
 ever experience

00:42:10.900 --> 00:42:11.279
 so he knows

00:42:11.279 --> 00:42:12.119
 everything you're going through

00:42:12.119 --> 00:42:13.279
 he knows every deep

00:42:13.279 --> 00:42:13.579
 insult

00:42:13.579 --> 00:42:14.819
 he didn't sin

00:42:14.819 --> 00:42:15.179
 but he knows

00:42:15.179 --> 00:42:15.900
 all those struggles

00:42:15.900 --> 00:42:16.440
 that you're facing

00:42:16.440 --> 00:42:18.659
 and he brought that message

00:42:18.659 --> 00:42:19.719
 a message of grace

00:42:19.719 --> 00:42:20.420
 and peace

00:42:20.420 --> 00:42:21.139
 and hope

00:42:21.139 --> 00:42:22.519
 and second chances

00:42:22.519 --> 00:42:23.019
 Jesus

00:42:23.019 --> 00:42:26.019
 and they didn't mock him

00:42:26.019 --> 00:42:26.960
 when he was building an ark

00:42:26.960 --> 00:42:27.900
 but they mocked him

00:42:27.900 --> 00:42:30.739
 when he was giving his life

00:42:30.739 --> 00:42:33.619
 on a cross

00:42:33.619 --> 00:42:36.360
 for you

00:42:36.360 --> 00:42:40.940
 for you

00:42:40.940 --> 00:42:45.380
 it's the best

00:42:45.380 --> 00:42:46.240
 worst case

00:42:46.240 --> 00:42:47.380
 survival scenario

00:42:47.380 --> 00:42:48.460
 of all time

00:42:48.460 --> 00:42:50.559
 Jesus coming

00:42:50.559 --> 00:42:51.740
 a second time

00:42:51.740 --> 00:42:55.320
 and the most important question

00:42:55.320 --> 00:42:55.500
 is

00:42:55.500 --> 00:42:56.659
 what are you going to be doing

00:42:56.659 --> 00:42:57.460
 when that happens

00:42:57.460 --> 00:43:00.900
 and how are you going to be found

00:43:00.900 --> 00:43:03.000
 let's pray

00:43:03.000 --> 00:43:07.740
 Father we just

00:43:07.740 --> 00:43:08.940
 wow

00:43:08.940 --> 00:43:11.300
 all by grace

00:43:11.300 --> 00:43:18.300
 Father I realize

00:43:18.300 --> 00:43:19.139
 that some of us in here

00:43:19.139 --> 00:43:20.059
 are mockers

00:43:20.059 --> 00:43:22.599
 we're non-Christ followers

00:43:22.599 --> 00:43:23.639
 and we're mocking you

00:43:23.639 --> 00:43:24.539
 we're mocking the people

00:43:24.539 --> 00:43:25.179
 around us

00:43:25.179 --> 00:43:28.960
 we were all

00:43:28.960 --> 00:43:29.460
 at that point

00:43:29.460 --> 00:43:30.059
 one time

00:43:30.059 --> 00:43:32.099
 Father I pray

00:43:32.099 --> 00:43:32.780
 for those of us

00:43:32.780 --> 00:43:33.619
 who are mockers

00:43:33.619 --> 00:43:34.659
 as non-Christ followers

00:43:34.659 --> 00:43:35.340
 that you would open

00:43:35.340 --> 00:43:36.500
 our eyes

00:43:36.500 --> 00:43:37.480
 to your son Jesus

00:43:37.480 --> 00:43:39.980
 help us to see

00:43:39.980 --> 00:43:40.599
 his mercy

00:43:40.599 --> 00:43:41.260
 help us to see

00:43:41.260 --> 00:43:41.800
 his grace

00:43:41.800 --> 00:43:42.380
 help us to see

00:43:42.380 --> 00:43:42.940
 the message

00:43:42.940 --> 00:43:46.400
 help us to realize

00:43:46.400 --> 00:43:47.179
 that we can build

00:43:47.179 --> 00:43:48.880
 any kingdom we want

00:43:48.880 --> 00:43:49.440
 but ultimately

00:43:49.440 --> 00:43:50.519
 it is going to fall

00:43:50.519 --> 00:43:52.360
 and it's going to fail

00:43:52.360 --> 00:43:54.940
 because your kingdom

00:43:54.940 --> 00:43:55.579
 is the only thing

00:43:55.579 --> 00:43:56.260
 that will last

00:43:56.260 --> 00:43:57.240
 and survive

00:43:57.240 --> 00:44:00.219
 Lord some of us

00:44:00.219 --> 00:44:00.740
 in here are

00:44:00.740 --> 00:44:01.380
 mockers

00:44:01.380 --> 00:44:02.360
 as Christ followers

00:44:02.360 --> 00:44:04.160
 we might not

00:44:04.160 --> 00:44:04.820
 mock you

00:44:04.820 --> 00:44:05.620
 with our words

00:44:05.620 --> 00:44:06.280
 but we mock you

00:44:06.280 --> 00:44:06.980
 with our life

00:44:06.980 --> 00:44:09.400
 we use the resources

00:44:09.400 --> 00:44:10.160
 you gave us

00:44:10.160 --> 00:44:11.240
 to build our own kingdoms

00:44:11.240 --> 00:44:13.900
 we collect things

00:44:13.900 --> 00:44:14.960
 we are selfish

00:44:14.960 --> 00:44:18.260
 we don't understand

00:44:18.260 --> 00:44:19.640
 grace and mercy

00:44:19.640 --> 00:44:20.400
 and how you give us

00:44:20.400 --> 00:44:21.079
 all these things

00:44:21.079 --> 00:44:21.640
 to be used

00:44:21.640 --> 00:44:22.180
 in your kingdom

00:44:22.180 --> 00:44:24.039
 I'm speaking totally

00:44:24.039 --> 00:44:24.760
 to myself

00:44:24.760 --> 00:44:25.160
 Tobin

00:44:25.160 --> 00:44:25.840
 this is what you need

00:44:25.840 --> 00:44:26.300
 to hear

00:44:26.300 --> 00:44:28.519
 Father I pray

00:44:28.519 --> 00:44:29.120
 for those of us

00:44:29.120 --> 00:44:29.820
 who are mockers

00:44:29.820 --> 00:44:30.400
 in our words

00:44:30.400 --> 00:44:31.000
 and our actions

00:44:31.000 --> 00:44:31.820
 as your followers

00:44:31.820 --> 00:44:32.460
 and your children

00:44:32.460 --> 00:44:33.420
 and I just beg

00:44:33.420 --> 00:44:34.200
 for forgiveness

00:44:34.200 --> 00:44:36.780
 what I just repent

00:44:36.780 --> 00:44:38.000
 of my selfishness

00:44:38.000 --> 00:44:40.760
 repent of my

00:44:40.760 --> 00:44:41.619
 self-sufficiency

00:44:41.619 --> 00:44:45.000
 repent of all those

00:44:45.000 --> 00:44:45.960
 things that you've

00:44:45.960 --> 00:44:46.639
 already freed me

00:44:46.639 --> 00:44:47.300
 from in bondage

00:44:47.300 --> 00:44:47.880
 and I just walk

00:44:47.880 --> 00:44:48.599
 back into them

00:44:48.599 --> 00:44:49.180
 and I allow them

00:44:49.180 --> 00:44:51.400
 to shackle me again

00:44:51.400 --> 00:44:53.940
 where we come

00:44:53.940 --> 00:44:54.440
 before you

00:44:54.440 --> 00:44:55.000
 and we just realize

00:44:55.000 --> 00:44:56.220
 that it's all by grace

00:44:56.220 --> 00:44:58.500
 and you've come

00:44:58.500 --> 00:45:00.220
 to set prisoners

00:45:00.219 --> 00:45:02.099
 in attics

00:45:02.099 --> 00:45:04.839
 free

00:45:04.839 --> 00:45:07.139
 Lord some of us

00:45:07.139 --> 00:45:07.439
 are building

00:45:07.439 --> 00:45:08.139
 our own kingdoms

00:45:08.139 --> 00:45:08.799
 and I pray that you

00:45:08.799 --> 00:45:09.480
 would show us that

00:45:09.480 --> 00:45:10.119
 really quickly

00:45:10.119 --> 00:45:11.779
 and show us why

00:45:11.779 --> 00:45:13.059
 that's not a good thing

00:45:13.059 --> 00:45:14.919
 you might even show it

00:45:14.919 --> 00:45:15.480
 to us by making

00:45:15.480 --> 00:45:16.779
 our kingdoms crumble

00:45:16.779 --> 00:45:18.759
 and pointing us

00:45:18.759 --> 00:45:19.379
 to yours

00:45:19.379 --> 00:45:20.219
 which is eternal

00:45:20.219 --> 00:45:22.179
 but Lord if that's

00:45:22.179 --> 00:45:22.639
 what it takes

00:45:22.639 --> 00:45:23.259
 I pray that we would

00:45:23.259 --> 00:45:24.019
 be a church full

00:45:24.019 --> 00:45:24.859
 of crumbled kingdoms

00:45:24.859 --> 00:45:26.759
 so that we don't

00:45:26.759 --> 00:45:27.779
 have one in focus

00:45:27.779 --> 00:45:28.539
 which is yours

00:45:28.539 --> 00:45:31.779
 Lord I realize

00:45:31.779 --> 00:45:32.420
 that some of us

00:45:32.420 --> 00:45:32.900
 in here have

00:45:32.900 --> 00:45:34.460
 never been mocked

00:45:34.460 --> 00:45:37.320
 in fact if you're

00:45:37.320 --> 00:45:37.779
 like me

00:45:37.779 --> 00:45:38.619
 you spend a lot

00:45:38.619 --> 00:45:39.239
 of your life

00:45:39.239 --> 00:45:40.199
 looking competent

00:45:40.199 --> 00:45:41.320
 dressing competent

00:45:41.320 --> 00:45:42.960
 and doing things

00:45:42.960 --> 00:45:43.559
 in such a way

00:45:43.559 --> 00:45:44.019
 that no one

00:45:44.019 --> 00:45:45.360
 will ever mock you

00:45:45.360 --> 00:45:47.599
 Lord I pray

00:45:47.599 --> 00:45:48.559
 and beg

00:45:48.559 --> 00:45:49.659
 for your forgiveness

00:45:49.659 --> 00:45:52.259
 Lord I repent

00:45:52.259 --> 00:45:53.980
 the arrogance

00:45:53.980 --> 00:45:54.980
 in our hearts

00:45:54.980 --> 00:45:55.779
 I pray for all

00:45:55.779 --> 00:45:56.360
 my brothers and

00:45:56.360 --> 00:45:56.940
 sisters in this

00:45:56.940 --> 00:45:57.420
 church

00:45:57.420 --> 00:45:58.460
 your church

00:45:58.460 --> 00:46:00.320
 we need you

00:46:00.320 --> 00:46:00.920
 so desperately

00:46:00.920 --> 00:46:03.260
 especially as we

00:46:03.260 --> 00:46:03.780
 think about these

00:46:03.780 --> 00:46:04.460
 end times

00:46:04.460 --> 00:46:04.920
 and the people

00:46:04.920 --> 00:46:05.620
 we work around

00:46:05.620 --> 00:46:06.380
 and realize that

00:46:06.380 --> 00:46:07.539
 it's not just enough

00:46:07.539 --> 00:46:08.240
 for us to be taken

00:46:08.240 --> 00:46:09.640
 but we're leaving

00:46:09.640 --> 00:46:10.480
 people we love

00:46:10.480 --> 00:46:11.559
 behind

00:46:11.559 --> 00:46:15.059
 Lord I pray this week

00:46:15.059 --> 00:46:15.539
 that you would

00:46:15.539 --> 00:46:15.940
 teach us

00:46:15.940 --> 00:46:17.360
 a little differently

00:46:17.360 --> 00:46:17.840
 what it means

00:46:17.840 --> 00:46:19.099
 to be mocked

00:46:19.099 --> 00:46:21.500
 help us to be

00:46:21.500 --> 00:46:22.039
 different than the

00:46:22.039 --> 00:46:22.960
 people in Noah's day

00:46:22.960 --> 00:46:23.860
 and Lot's day

00:46:23.860 --> 00:46:26.079
 we come and we

00:46:26.079 --> 00:46:26.920
 repent and we

00:46:26.920 --> 00:46:27.460
 surrender

00:46:27.460 --> 00:46:28.320
 and we ask you

00:46:28.320 --> 00:46:28.940
 to change us

00:46:28.940 --> 00:46:29.500
 we ask you to

00:46:29.500 --> 00:46:29.980
 make us your

00:46:29.980 --> 00:46:30.400
 people

00:46:30.400 --> 00:46:32.780
 I pray for us

00:46:32.780 --> 00:46:33.420
 in here that you

00:46:33.420 --> 00:46:33.840
 would show each

00:46:33.840 --> 00:46:34.320
 one of us what

00:46:34.320 --> 00:46:35.119
 that next step

00:46:35.119 --> 00:46:35.659
 is

00:46:35.659 --> 00:46:37.159
 that you're not

00:46:37.159 --> 00:46:37.740
 expecting us to

00:46:37.740 --> 00:46:38.539
 be perfect and

00:46:38.539 --> 00:46:40.300
 be like we will

00:46:40.300 --> 00:46:41.240
 be when we see you

00:46:41.240 --> 00:46:41.980
 face to face

00:46:41.980 --> 00:46:42.440
 but you're just

00:46:42.440 --> 00:46:43.179
 asking us to

00:46:43.179 --> 00:46:43.900
 trust you

00:46:43.900 --> 00:46:46.019
 to trust your

00:46:46.019 --> 00:46:46.740
 kingdom and to

00:46:46.740 --> 00:46:47.300
 take the next

00:46:47.300 --> 00:46:47.659
 step

00:46:47.659 --> 00:46:50.059
 so I pray for

00:46:50.059 --> 00:46:50.519
 each one of us

00:46:50.519 --> 00:46:51.000
 in here that you

00:46:51.000 --> 00:46:51.519
 would show us what

00:46:51.519 --> 00:46:52.159
 that next step

00:46:52.159 --> 00:46:54.079
 is that you'd

00:46:54.079 --> 00:46:55.319
 help us to be

00:46:55.319 --> 00:46:57.679
 obedient to that

00:46:57.679 --> 00:46:58.619
 help us to show

00:46:58.619 --> 00:46:59.299
 us what it means

00:46:59.299 --> 00:46:59.920
 to build your

00:46:59.920 --> 00:47:00.679
 kingdom and to

00:47:00.679 --> 00:47:02.339
 walk step by

00:47:02.339 --> 00:47:04.779
 step in your

00:47:04.779 --> 00:47:05.319
 direction

00:47:05.319 --> 00:47:07.779
 Lord I thank you

00:47:07.779 --> 00:47:08.339
 most of all for

00:47:08.339 --> 00:47:08.960
 your son who

00:47:08.960 --> 00:47:10.059
 came and he was

00:47:10.059 --> 00:47:11.379
 mocked supremely

00:47:11.379 --> 00:47:14.579
 by us and by

00:47:14.579 --> 00:47:15.559
 those around him

00:47:15.559 --> 00:47:17.719
 and he gave

00:47:17.719 --> 00:47:18.339
 the message of

00:47:18.339 --> 00:47:19.179
 grace the message

00:47:19.179 --> 00:47:19.779
 which he died

00:47:19.779 --> 00:47:20.659
 for the message

00:47:20.659 --> 00:47:22.019
 in him dying

00:47:22.019 --> 00:47:22.639
 which became

00:47:22.639 --> 00:47:23.219
 the power

00:47:23.219 --> 00:47:23.719
 that we live

00:47:23.719 --> 00:47:24.380
 by now

00:47:24.380 --> 00:47:25.019
 in this first

00:47:25.019 --> 00:47:25.900
 coming time

00:47:25.900 --> 00:47:27.559
 would help us

00:47:27.559 --> 00:47:28.039
 to cling to

00:47:28.039 --> 00:47:28.679
 that truth

00:47:28.679 --> 00:47:29.539
 and to realize

00:47:29.539 --> 00:47:29.880
 that you're

00:47:29.880 --> 00:47:30.380
 there and

00:47:30.380 --> 00:47:30.900
 you're working

00:47:30.900 --> 00:47:31.800
 and you're

00:47:31.800 --> 00:47:32.280
 good

00:47:32.280 --> 00:47:33.699
 no matter what

00:47:33.699 --> 00:47:34.440
 darkness comes

00:47:34.440 --> 00:47:35.219
 into our world

00:47:35.219 --> 00:47:36.420
 we have the

00:47:36.420 --> 00:47:37.119
 king of all

00:47:37.119 --> 00:47:37.679
 things

00:47:37.679 --> 00:47:39.400
 and we walk

00:47:39.400 --> 00:47:39.679
 in his

00:47:39.679 --> 00:47:40.079
 kingdom

00:47:40.079 --> 00:47:42.159
 so Lord we

00:47:42.159 --> 00:47:42.639
 come before you

00:47:42.639 --> 00:47:43.259
 as a church

00:47:43.259 --> 00:47:43.940
 and as individuals

00:47:43.940 --> 00:47:44.780
 and as families

00:47:44.780 --> 00:47:45.599
 and as dads

00:47:45.599 --> 00:47:46.500
 and as wives

00:47:46.500 --> 00:47:47.360
 and as kids

00:47:47.360 --> 00:47:49.820
 and as friends

00:47:49.820 --> 00:47:52.300
 we pray Lord

00:47:52.300 --> 00:47:52.620
 that you would

00:47:52.620 --> 00:47:53.360
 use us

00:47:53.360 --> 00:47:55.140
 in a world

00:47:55.140 --> 00:47:55.820
 that is busy

00:47:55.820 --> 00:47:56.660
 going about

00:47:56.660 --> 00:47:57.460
 things its own

00:47:57.460 --> 00:47:57.900
 way

00:47:57.900 --> 00:47:59.960
 and forgetting

00:47:59.960 --> 00:48:00.579
 that there's a

00:48:00.579 --> 00:48:00.880
 kingdom

00:48:00.880 --> 00:48:03.019
 and that kingdom

00:48:03.019 --> 00:48:03.599
 is coming

00:48:03.599 --> 00:48:05.400
 and there's only

00:48:05.400 --> 00:48:06.000
 one king

00:48:06.000 --> 00:48:08.099
 may we be found

00:48:08.099 --> 00:48:09.019
 worshiping him

00:48:09.019 --> 00:48:10.800
 when that day

00:48:10.800 --> 00:48:11.320
 happens

00:48:11.320 --> 00:48:13.360
 Lord we love you

00:48:13.360 --> 00:48:14.180
 we pray these things

00:48:14.180 --> 00:48:14.700
 in your son Jesus

00:48:14.700 --> 00:48:15.140
 name

00:48:15.139 --> 00:48:16.099
 amen
