00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.540
 Go ahead and take your Bibles from Mark 16 this morning, Mark 16, as we get started here.

00:00:05.540 --> 00:00:10.720
! If you find that Mark 16 should be easy. Your Bible should open up to Mark pretty easy by now.

00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:18.000
 Yeah, we've been in it for quite a few weeks here, but you know, as we come here to the end of the book of Mark,

00:00:18.580 --> 00:00:25.760
 and you know, we've been following the Lord through His earthly ministry and, you know, all the things that have taken place,

00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:33.539
 the battles with the religious leaders and the training of the Twelve and the other disciples that were there with Him,

00:00:33.620 --> 00:00:39.040
 those that were learning from Him and had understood who He is.

00:00:39.500 --> 00:00:46.120
 And we find here that all the works that He performed, I mean, you think about all the things that Jesus did there.

00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:54.939
 When you talk about healing the sick, He cast out devils, He raised the dead, and among many other miracles.

00:00:54.939 --> 00:00:58.659
 I mean, the list of miracles you find within the Scripture is quite a few.

00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:09.140
 And we know, as we look at each of those as we walk through, as Mark talks about that reality of the action involved,

00:01:09.219 --> 00:01:12.400
 because Mark focuses on the actions as they move forward.

00:01:12.939 --> 00:01:16.780
 And moving forward is exactly what we're going to be looking at today,

00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:23.920
 because as the Gospel of Mark draws to the end, you find the same thing in the other Gospels.

00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:27.420
 It's very simple. It's a forward-moving. It's a continuation.

00:01:28.500 --> 00:01:31.099
 And the Gospel continues even today.

00:01:31.859 --> 00:01:35.799
 You know, the Gospel didn't stop when Jesus went back into heaven.

00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:42.280
 The Gospel, the same Gospel, has been preached from that time forward.

00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:47.200
 And we find here that the disciples, they traveled over mountains and through valleys.

00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:53.520
 I mean, you think about they seen Him calm the storms, and the lives changed.

00:01:53.740 --> 00:02:00.920
 And we find that Jesus traveled to Jerusalem, and He was crucified that day because of our sin.

00:02:01.020 --> 00:02:05.800
 He became sin for us. He became the one who took our sin upon Him.

00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:10.060
 He took our trespasses, our violations against God.

00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:11.980
 He did all these things.

00:02:11.979 --> 00:02:13.979
 And we saw here the dynamic.

00:02:14.859 --> 00:02:17.000
 He was crucified. He was buried.

00:02:17.419 --> 00:02:21.959
 And then we learned the third day that He rose again,

00:02:22.060 --> 00:02:24.899
 and He was 40 days among His disciples,

00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:29.919
 teaching them and giving them what was needed as they were moving forward.

00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:33.139
 It was the last session of the class, you might say,

00:02:33.239 --> 00:02:37.139
 the final exam to push forward with the Gospel,

00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:38.719
 to continue forward.

00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:41.379
 Because when Jesus ascended into heaven, it didn't end.

00:02:43.020 --> 00:02:45.159
 It was just a bigger push forward.

00:02:45.860 --> 00:02:49.079
 A bigger push for the reality of the Gospel.

00:02:49.579 --> 00:02:52.340
 And we know the disciples had seen the empty tomb.

00:02:52.900 --> 00:02:55.199
 You know, they'd sat with the resurrected Savior.

00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:57.960
 There was no doubt that Jesus was alive and well.

00:02:58.620 --> 00:02:59.979
 And He talked with them.

00:03:00.060 --> 00:03:00.900
 He had eaten with them.

00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:04.840
 He instructed them in the truth about the plan to redeem mankind.

00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:09.360
 You'll see that Jesus was very clear about His plan to move forward

00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:11.700
 and why He did these things.

00:03:11.740 --> 00:03:13.080
 As we're going to look this morning,

00:03:13.140 --> 00:03:16.879
 and this morning we're going to talk about Jesus ascending to glory

00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:19.219
 and what that means.

00:03:19.340 --> 00:03:20.659
 Because I want you to understand,

00:03:20.780 --> 00:03:21.939
 when Jesus went to glory,

00:03:22.020 --> 00:03:25.180
 it made way for another important thing to take place,

00:03:25.219 --> 00:03:27.120
 and that was for the Holy Spirit to come.

00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:33.000
 And the Holy Spirit plays an important role in not only our salvation,

00:03:33.180 --> 00:03:36.180
 but also an important role in the Gospel going forward.

00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:40.000
 Because the Bible makes it clear it's the power of God.

00:03:40.060 --> 00:03:42.640
 The power of God rests in the Holy Spirit of God.

00:03:43.200 --> 00:03:48.480
 Acts 1.8 makes it clear that you'll have power from on high.

00:03:48.659 --> 00:03:52.280
 That dynamic is the Holy Spirit as we see.

00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:56.520
 And we understand that this was the final gathering of the 11.

00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:01.280
 We know that it was on the Mount of Olives from the other Gospels,

00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:05.080
 and that's where we find ourselves here this morning,

00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:07.659
 as He has given them the instruction to go.

00:04:08.180 --> 00:04:09.180
 But let's take a look here.

00:04:09.219 --> 00:04:10.800
 If you found Mark chapter 16,

00:04:11.340 --> 00:04:13.360
 let's look together here and stand together

00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:14.860
 in honor of reading of the Word of God.

00:04:14.920 --> 00:04:19.420
 And we'll read here the last verses here of the Gospel of Mark.

00:04:19.420 --> 00:04:22.319
 We'll pick up here in verse 15 again.

00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:23.699
 And He said unto them,

00:04:23.840 --> 00:04:25.100
 Go ye into all the world,

00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:27.120
 and preach the gospel to every creature.

00:04:27.960 --> 00:04:30.360
 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved,

00:04:30.400 --> 00:04:32.500
 but he that believeth not shall be damned.

00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:34.580
 And these signs shall follow them that believe.

00:04:35.100 --> 00:04:37.139
 In My name shall they cast out devils,

00:04:37.200 --> 00:04:39.180
 they shall speak with new tongues,

00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:40.319
 they shall take up servants,

00:04:40.420 --> 00:04:42.580
 and if they drink any deadly thing,

00:04:42.620 --> 00:04:43.540
 it shall not hurt them,

00:04:43.580 --> 00:04:45.100
 and they shall lay hands on the sick,

00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:46.600
 and they shall recover.

00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:50.379
 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them,

00:04:50.760 --> 00:04:52.740
 He was received up into heaven,

00:04:53.100 --> 00:04:55.060
 and sat on the right hand of God.

00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:58.020
 And they went forth and preached everywhere,

00:04:58.200 --> 00:04:59.560
 the Lord working with them,

00:04:59.860 --> 00:05:03.520
 and confirming the Word with signs following.

00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:05.040
 Amen.

00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:05.960
 Let's pray.

00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:06.640
 Heavenly Fathers,

00:05:06.780 --> 00:05:08.740
 we take a few moments this morning

00:05:08.740 --> 00:05:10.120
 to look into Your Word, Lord.

00:05:10.200 --> 00:05:13.080
 We pray that You just stir our hearts towards You,

00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:15.879
 the reality of not just Your resurrection,

00:05:16.039 --> 00:05:16.319
 but Lord,

00:05:16.379 --> 00:05:19.939
 also the importance of Your ascension into glory,

00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:20.219
 Lord,

00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:22.240
 the dynamics around it,

00:05:22.300 --> 00:05:22.459
 you know,

00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:24.759
 the true reality of the gospel,

00:05:25.159 --> 00:05:29.000
 being able to go forth with Your power to it.

00:05:29.060 --> 00:05:29.319
 And Lord,

00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:30.659
 we're going to see here this morning

00:05:30.659 --> 00:05:34.060
 the impact of that from the Word of God.

00:05:34.139 --> 00:05:34.379
 And Lord,

00:05:34.419 --> 00:05:35.639
 I pray just challenge us

00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:38.240
 to grab a hold of that truth here today,

00:05:38.339 --> 00:05:39.740
 realizing that same power

00:05:39.740 --> 00:05:42.199
 that the apostles had as they went forth

00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:43.060
 is the same power

00:05:43.060 --> 00:05:44.519
 that's within every believer today.

00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:46.079
 Lord,

00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:48.120
 we pray just have Your hand upon each one today

00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:48.900
 in a mighty way.

00:05:48.960 --> 00:05:49.160
 And Lord,

00:05:49.220 --> 00:05:50.740
 we just ask it in Your precious name.

00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:52.079
 Amen.

00:05:52.280 --> 00:05:52.840
 You may be seated.

00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:54.060
 You know,

00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:54.879
 as we look here,

00:05:55.180 --> 00:05:56.400
 I want you to see here

00:05:56.400 --> 00:05:58.420
 that what we just read is not the end.

00:05:58.699 --> 00:05:58.860
 You know,

00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:00.540
 oftentimes we think this was the end.

00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:01.879
 You might say the final thing

00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:03.780
 of Jesus' earthly ministry

00:06:03.780 --> 00:06:05.639
 in phase one,

00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:07.100
 because we know He's coming again.

00:06:07.100 --> 00:06:09.580
 We know Christ is coming again.

00:06:09.900 --> 00:06:11.220
 The Bible makes it clear

00:06:11.220 --> 00:06:12.860
 He will come again.

00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:15.520
 And so His ascension is important

00:06:15.520 --> 00:06:17.320
 in all those things.

00:06:17.520 --> 00:06:19.040
 And what we just read, though,

00:06:19.080 --> 00:06:21.960
 is the continuing of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

00:06:22.320 --> 00:06:23.760
 For the gospel to go forth,

00:06:23.840 --> 00:06:26.100
 the good news that God has fulfilled

00:06:26.640 --> 00:06:28.240
 all that is needed

00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:31.020
 to reconcile anyone

00:06:31.020 --> 00:06:32.760
 that would come to Him by faith.

00:06:33.140 --> 00:06:34.340
 When we recognize

00:06:34.340 --> 00:06:35.939
 that the beginning of Mark opens,

00:06:35.939 --> 00:06:36.519
 you know,

00:06:36.620 --> 00:06:38.060
 if we go back to the beginning of Mark

00:06:38.060 --> 00:06:39.219
 in Mark chapter one,

00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:40.240
 He starts this,

00:06:40.459 --> 00:06:40.860
 simply this,

00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:41.279
 He says,

00:06:41.379 --> 00:06:42.560
 the beginning of the gospel

00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:43.699
 of Jesus Christ,

00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:44.639
 the Son of God.

00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:46.920
 The beginning of the gospel of who?

00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:48.000
 Jesus Christ,

00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:49.399
 the Son of God.

00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:50.199
 And it goes through

00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:51.579
 all the things

00:06:51.579 --> 00:06:52.439
 in the book of Mark,

00:06:52.500 --> 00:06:53.779
 and then it concludes here

00:06:53.779 --> 00:06:55.100
 very simply,

00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:56.560
 so after the Lord

00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:57.560
 was spoken unto them

00:06:57.560 --> 00:06:58.000
 in verse nine,

00:06:58.040 --> 00:06:59.620
 He was received up into heaven

00:06:59.620 --> 00:07:02.060
 and sat on the right hand of God.

00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:03.819
 I want you to look here this morning.

00:07:03.819 --> 00:07:05.959
 It's important because it ends

00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:07.860
 with a charge to continue.

00:07:08.699 --> 00:07:08.860
 You know,

00:07:08.939 --> 00:07:11.360
 Jesus said there's yet two things

00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:12.099
 that will happen

00:07:12.099 --> 00:07:13.079
 so that the gospel

00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:15.279
 will continue as planned.

00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:16.100
 First,

00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:17.540
 He was going to go to the Father.

00:07:18.300 --> 00:07:18.500
 You know,

00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:21.019
 Jesus needed to ascend to the Father,

00:07:21.060 --> 00:07:21.860
 and we'll look at that

00:07:21.860 --> 00:07:22.699
 in just a moment here,

00:07:22.740 --> 00:07:23.659
 a little more detail,

00:07:24.139 --> 00:07:25.759
 of the importance of that,

00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:28.100
 that He would go to the Father,

00:07:28.100 --> 00:07:31.800
 but also that as we look here

00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:32.420
 this morning,

00:07:32.780 --> 00:07:34.200
 that He had to go to the Father.

00:07:34.280 --> 00:07:35.439
 This happened 40 days

00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:36.480
 after His resurrection,

00:07:37.080 --> 00:07:38.300
 and we refer to this

00:07:38.300 --> 00:07:40.320
 as the ascension of Jesus to glory.

00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:41.939
 It's mentioned specifically

00:07:41.939 --> 00:07:43.920
 in detail in Acts chapter one,

00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:47.820
 and that Jesus was received up,

00:07:47.860 --> 00:07:48.160
 and you know,

00:07:48.220 --> 00:07:49.300
 the disciples always love

00:07:49.300 --> 00:07:50.120
 that passage there

00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:51.100
 in Acts chapter one,

00:07:51.420 --> 00:07:52.220
 because the disciples,

00:07:52.379 --> 00:07:52.820
 as they're looking,

00:07:52.939 --> 00:07:53.800
 Jesus going to heaven,

00:07:53.860 --> 00:07:54.240
 all they're doing

00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:55.140
 is rubbernecking going.

00:07:56.200 --> 00:07:57.180
 If you read that passage,

00:07:57.180 --> 00:07:57.879
 it's kind of funny,

00:07:57.939 --> 00:07:59.000
 because the angel looks at Him

00:07:59.000 --> 00:07:59.199
 and says,

00:07:59.259 --> 00:07:59.660
 what are you doing

00:07:59.660 --> 00:08:00.620
 just staring up into heaven?

00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:01.079
 You know,

00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:02.720
 I just appreciate

00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:04.100
 the reality of that,

00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:04.620
 because you know,

00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:05.600
 that's kind of human nature.

00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:06.220
 I don't know about you,

00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:07.139
 but if I saw Jesus

00:08:07.139 --> 00:08:08.780
 rise off the ground into heaven,

00:08:08.840 --> 00:08:09.840
 I'd probably be standing there

00:08:09.840 --> 00:08:10.540
 for a few minutes too

00:08:10.540 --> 00:08:11.079
 looking up.

00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:13.000
 You know?

00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:15.759
 But we're going to see here

00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:16.899
 that we look at,

00:08:16.939 --> 00:08:18.100
 we understand that event,

00:08:18.180 --> 00:08:19.139
 but what did it mean?

00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:22.180
 Because the ascension of Jesus

00:08:22.180 --> 00:08:23.740
 is an important element,

00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:26.759
 because Jesus had stayed 40 days

00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:27.959
 to complete the task

00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:29.920
 of training His disciples

00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:31.139
 for what lied ahead.

00:08:31.719 --> 00:08:31.920
 You know,

00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:33.299
 His return to glory

00:08:33.299 --> 00:08:34.120
 was essential

00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:35.519
 for the work to continue.

00:08:36.379 --> 00:08:37.439
 It was essential

00:08:37.439 --> 00:08:38.559
 for the work to continue.

00:08:38.659 --> 00:08:39.439
 He even told them

00:08:39.439 --> 00:08:40.340
 it was going to be essential

00:08:40.340 --> 00:08:41.200
 for it to continue.

00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:42.799
 It was essential

00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:44.559
 in Jesus' own words.

00:08:44.659 --> 00:08:45.720
 So we're going to look this morning

00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:47.679
 as this dynamic,

00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:49.100
 the essential things

00:08:49.100 --> 00:08:51.379
 about why He had to return

00:08:51.379 --> 00:08:52.360
 to heaven,

00:08:52.460 --> 00:08:53.580
 because it was important,

00:08:53.580 --> 00:08:55.540
 because it did this.

00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:55.960
 One thing,

00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:56.920
 it made clear

00:08:56.920 --> 00:08:58.520
 His purpose

00:08:58.520 --> 00:08:59.500
 to His followers.

00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:01.460
 It made clear

00:09:01.460 --> 00:09:02.139
 His purpose.

00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:02.480
 You know,

00:09:02.540 --> 00:09:03.240
 some may wonder

00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:03.920
 why Jesus

00:09:03.920 --> 00:09:05.500
 didn't just stick around

00:09:05.500 --> 00:09:06.540
 after the resurrection.

00:09:06.780 --> 00:09:07.580
 You know?

00:09:08.700 --> 00:09:10.020
 Have you ever asked yourself that?

00:09:10.060 --> 00:09:10.700
 Why didn't Jesus

00:09:10.700 --> 00:09:11.400
 just stay here

00:09:11.400 --> 00:09:12.240
 after He resurrected?

00:09:12.540 --> 00:09:13.240
 He's alive,

00:09:13.340 --> 00:09:14.280
 He's already interacting

00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:15.039
 with the disciples.

00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:16.579
 He's interacting

00:09:16.579 --> 00:09:17.259
 with others.

00:09:18.699 --> 00:09:18.860
 You know,

00:09:18.899 --> 00:09:19.559
 wouldn't it be great

00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:20.699
 if Jesus was still here?

00:09:22.139 --> 00:09:22.579
 You know,

00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:23.339
 we can look at it

00:09:23.339 --> 00:09:24.000
 in that dynamic,

00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:24.860
 but I want you to grab

00:09:24.860 --> 00:09:25.259
 ahold of something.

00:09:25.319 --> 00:09:26.559
 He went away for a reason,

00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:27.819
 because what we have

00:09:27.819 --> 00:09:29.360
 was part of the plan,

00:09:29.419 --> 00:09:30.199
 the plan that was going

00:09:30.199 --> 00:09:31.399
 to empower us

00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:33.519
 to accomplish way more

00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:35.220
 than what that would have happened

00:09:35.220 --> 00:09:36.379
 on its own

00:09:36.379 --> 00:09:37.279
 with the restrictions

00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:39.059
 of a physical body.

00:09:39.139 --> 00:09:40.039
 And we're going to look here

00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:41.860
 at this new dynamic.

00:09:42.100 --> 00:09:42.839
 And the disciples,

00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:44.680
 Jesus had to go away

00:09:44.680 --> 00:09:45.200
 because, you know,

00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:45.759
 the problem was

00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:46.879
 the disciples were looking

00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:48.139
 for a new king.

00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:49.220
 They were looking

00:09:49.220 --> 00:09:50.040
 for the restoration

00:09:50.040 --> 00:09:52.139
 of the kingdom of David.

00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:52.960
 They were looking

00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:54.080
 for that restoration.

00:09:54.300 --> 00:09:54.399
 You know,

00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:55.240
 Acts chapter 1,

00:09:55.280 --> 00:09:56.000
 turn over there quick

00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:56.440
 this morning.

00:09:56.879 --> 00:09:57.920
 Acts chapter 1

00:09:57.920 --> 00:09:58.740
 in verse 6,

00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:00.639
 the Bible tells us this,

00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:01.740
 therefore we're come together.

00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:02.740
 They asked Him,

00:10:02.860 --> 00:10:03.080
 saying,

00:10:03.180 --> 00:10:03.460
 Lord,

00:10:03.820 --> 00:10:04.879
 wilt Thou at this time

00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:05.540
 restore again

00:10:05.540 --> 00:10:06.660
 the kingdom to Israel?

00:10:07.060 --> 00:10:07.220
 Now,

00:10:07.300 --> 00:10:08.040
 I want you to see here,

00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:08.800
 even in their mind,

00:10:08.860 --> 00:10:09.620
 they're still looking

00:10:09.620 --> 00:10:10.400
 at this dynamic.

00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:11.660
 Jesus is resurrected.

00:10:11.659 --> 00:10:13.279
 It might be the time.

00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:14.399
 Even though Jesus

00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:15.039
 had told them

00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:15.839
 what was going to happen,

00:10:15.939 --> 00:10:16.219
 but, you know,

00:10:16.259 --> 00:10:17.159
 oftentimes we're just

00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:17.919
 like the disciples.

00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:20.639
 God's Word tells us something

00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:21.259
 and we kind of

00:10:21.259 --> 00:10:22.159
 just brush over it.

00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:23.299
 We don't grab a hold

00:10:23.299 --> 00:10:23.899
 of the truth

00:10:23.899 --> 00:10:25.319
 of what God's Word says.

00:10:25.579 --> 00:10:27.139
 But notice what Jesus says,

00:10:27.219 --> 00:10:27.860
 and He said of them,

00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:28.539
 It is not for you

00:10:28.539 --> 00:10:29.319
 to know the time

00:10:29.319 --> 00:10:29.980
 or the seasons

00:10:29.980 --> 00:10:31.480
 which the Father

00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:33.860
 has put in His own power.

00:10:34.259 --> 00:10:34.559
 Now,

00:10:34.620 --> 00:10:35.360
 look at verse 8,

00:10:35.419 --> 00:10:36.139
 but ye shall what?

00:10:36.199 --> 00:10:37.039
 Receive power

00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:38.159
 after that the Holy Ghost

00:10:38.159 --> 00:10:39.079
 has come upon you,

00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:40.680
 and ye shall be witnesses

00:10:40.680 --> 00:10:43.340
 unto me both in Jerusalem

00:10:43.340 --> 00:10:44.540
 and Judea and Samaria

00:10:44.540 --> 00:10:45.900
 and in the uttermost part

00:10:45.900 --> 00:10:47.060
 of the earth.

00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:48.520
 I want you to see here,

00:10:48.580 --> 00:10:49.500
 Jesus departed

00:10:49.500 --> 00:10:50.300
 that the disciples

00:10:50.300 --> 00:10:51.120
 might get active

00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:52.280
 doing what they ought to do.

00:10:52.500 --> 00:10:53.280
 Because, in other words,

00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:54.280
 they were going to be anchored.

00:10:55.740 --> 00:10:56.600
 I want you to see,

00:10:56.680 --> 00:10:57.420
 Jesus told them,

00:10:57.480 --> 00:10:57.900
 No, guys,

00:10:57.960 --> 00:10:58.860
 that's not the time

00:10:58.860 --> 00:10:59.440
 or the season.

00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:00.680
 I'm not going to sit

00:11:00.680 --> 00:11:01.879
 on the throne right now.

00:11:01.920 --> 00:11:03.100
 That's in the Father's hand.

00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:04.680
 I want you to get out there

00:11:04.680 --> 00:11:05.280
 and get busy.

00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:06.659
 I want you to continue

00:11:06.659 --> 00:11:09.439
 the gospel.

00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:11.779
 I want you to continue.

00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:13.100
 I want you to move forward.

00:11:13.980 --> 00:11:14.159
 You know,

00:11:14.179 --> 00:11:14.879
 the disciples

00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:15.899
 were still focused

00:11:15.899 --> 00:11:17.339
 on that physical kingdom,

00:11:17.339 --> 00:11:18.919
 and they wanted to know

00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:19.839
 what to expect.

00:11:19.939 --> 00:11:20.559
 And when Jesus

00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:21.639
 departed for glory,

00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:22.579
 there's no doubt

00:11:22.579 --> 00:11:23.759
 that the time

00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:24.659
 was not now.

00:11:25.179 --> 00:11:25.379
 You know,

00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:26.240
 I want you to say,

00:11:26.339 --> 00:11:26.699
 Jesus,

00:11:26.819 --> 00:11:27.220
 we're going to look

00:11:27.220 --> 00:11:27.919
 a little later here,

00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:28.860
 that Jesus promised

00:11:28.860 --> 00:11:29.860
 He's coming back,

00:11:30.459 --> 00:11:31.620
 but the time

00:11:31.620 --> 00:11:32.419
 was not then.

00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:33.199
 There was a reason

00:11:33.199 --> 00:11:33.600
 for that

00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:34.540
 because the gospel

00:11:34.540 --> 00:11:35.480
 had to go forth.

00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:36.840
 They had to continue.

00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:38.139
 The focus was to go

00:11:38.139 --> 00:11:39.200
 into all the world

00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:40.420
 with the gospel,

00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:41.700
 establishing churches

00:11:41.700 --> 00:11:42.360
 for the purpose

00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:42.960
 of training

00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:44.860
 and encouraging the saints

00:11:44.860 --> 00:11:46.320
 for the work of God.

00:11:47.700 --> 00:11:47.879
 You know,

00:11:47.899 --> 00:11:48.580
 I want you to know

00:11:48.580 --> 00:11:49.080
 this morning

00:11:49.080 --> 00:11:49.899
 that Jesus

00:11:49.899 --> 00:11:51.159
 departed

00:11:51.159 --> 00:11:51.960
 for the purpose

00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:53.159
 of making things clear

00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:54.040
 to His disciples.

00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:55.700
 I think He made it clear

00:11:55.700 --> 00:11:56.159
 to them that,

00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:56.279


00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:57.500
 now is not the time

00:11:57.500 --> 00:11:58.019
 I'm going to sit

00:11:58.019 --> 00:11:58.519
 on the throne.

00:11:58.620 --> 00:11:59.399
 There's work for you

00:11:59.399 --> 00:11:59.899
 to be doing,

00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:00.279
 though,

00:12:00.580 --> 00:12:01.540
 while I'm away.

00:12:02.279 --> 00:12:03.100
 That the gospel

00:12:03.100 --> 00:12:04.060
 is going to continue.

00:12:04.820 --> 00:12:05.420
 But I want you

00:12:05.420 --> 00:12:06.259
 to see here also

00:12:06.259 --> 00:12:07.120
 it made the coming

00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:08.060
 of the Holy Spirit

00:12:08.060 --> 00:12:08.600
 possible.

00:12:10.540 --> 00:12:11.659
 Think about Jesus

00:12:11.659 --> 00:12:12.740
 when He was speaking

00:12:12.740 --> 00:12:13.639
 to His disciples.

00:12:13.779 --> 00:12:14.580
 One of the last things

00:12:14.580 --> 00:12:15.139
 He told them

00:12:15.139 --> 00:12:15.779
 before He goes

00:12:15.779 --> 00:12:16.420
 to the cross,

00:12:16.779 --> 00:12:18.279
 you find in John 16.

00:12:18.800 --> 00:12:18.980
 You know,

00:12:19.060 --> 00:12:20.340
 this section of John

00:12:20.340 --> 00:12:21.639
 is Jesus telling

00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:22.379
 His disciples

00:12:22.379 --> 00:12:23.180
 right before He goes

00:12:23.180 --> 00:12:23.659
 to the cross,

00:12:23.759 --> 00:12:24.379
 He's filling in

00:12:24.379 --> 00:12:25.560
 all sorts of information

00:12:25.560 --> 00:12:26.000
 to them.

00:12:26.580 --> 00:12:27.160
 He's giving them

00:12:27.160 --> 00:12:28.160
 all sorts of things

00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:30.120
 and they're trying

00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:30.839
 to process

00:12:30.839 --> 00:12:32.199
 because it's really

00:12:32.199 --> 00:12:32.919
 a pretty large

00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:33.860
 information dump

00:12:33.860 --> 00:12:34.279
 when you think

00:12:34.279 --> 00:12:35.199
 about what's contained

00:12:35.199 --> 00:12:37.299
 in chapters 14

00:12:37.299 --> 00:12:38.600
 through 17

00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:40.059
 in the Gospel of John.

00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:40.480
 There's a lot

00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:41.100
 of information

00:12:41.100 --> 00:12:41.639
 got dumped

00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:42.419
 in a matter of a few

00:12:42.419 --> 00:12:43.500
 hours on the disciples.

00:12:44.719 --> 00:12:45.339
 He told them

00:12:45.339 --> 00:12:46.339
 all sorts of things

00:12:46.339 --> 00:12:47.240
 that was going

00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:48.039
 to take place

00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:48.819
 but when Jesus

00:12:48.819 --> 00:12:49.579
 went to glory

00:12:49.579 --> 00:12:50.539
 it made way

00:12:50.539 --> 00:12:51.179
 for them.

00:12:51.219 --> 00:12:51.439
 Let's look over

00:12:51.439 --> 00:12:52.799
 to John chapter 16.

00:12:53.179 --> 00:12:54.559
 John chapter 16.

00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:56.500
 Notice what Jesus

00:12:56.500 --> 00:12:57.620
 tells His disciples.

00:12:58.419 --> 00:12:59.139
 He says this,

00:12:59.299 --> 00:12:59.559
 Nevertheless,

00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:01.179
 I tell you what?

00:13:02.259 --> 00:13:03.240
 The truth.

00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:04.240
 It is what?

00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:06.179
 Expedient for you

00:13:06.179 --> 00:13:07.100
 that I do what?

00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:09.220
 I go away.

00:13:10.899 --> 00:13:12.340
 It's expedient.

00:13:12.460 --> 00:13:13.379
 It's beneficial.

00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:17.179
 For if I go not away,

00:13:17.299 --> 00:13:17.980
 the Comforter

00:13:17.980 --> 00:13:19.019
 will not come

00:13:19.019 --> 00:13:20.620
 unto you.

00:13:21.860 --> 00:13:23.299
 I want you to see here

00:13:23.299 --> 00:13:24.360
 the Comforter

00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:24.860
 is speaking

00:13:24.860 --> 00:13:25.720
 of the Holy Spirit.

00:13:26.500 --> 00:13:27.399
 If Jesus

00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:28.179
 didn't go back

00:13:28.179 --> 00:13:28.679
 to glory,

00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:29.279
 Jesus says,

00:13:29.379 --> 00:13:30.039
 If I don't go back

00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:30.460
 to glory,

00:13:30.580 --> 00:13:31.519
 the Holy Spirit

00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:32.340
 is not going to come

00:13:32.340 --> 00:13:33.299
 and do what

00:13:33.299 --> 00:13:34.279
 it's supposed to do.

00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:35.279
 To do what He's

00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:35.879
 supposed to do

00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:36.679
 in our lives.

00:13:37.620 --> 00:13:38.759
 Because I want you

00:13:38.759 --> 00:13:39.080
 to know

00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:39.960
 as we look at this

00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:41.480
 that the Holy Spirit

00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:44.039
 is needful.

00:13:44.139 --> 00:13:45.259
 It's part of God's

00:13:45.259 --> 00:13:46.320
 redemptive plan.

00:13:46.740 --> 00:13:47.600
 The Holy Spirit

00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:48.419
 is essential

00:13:48.419 --> 00:13:49.419
 to our salvation.

00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:51.879
 It's an essential element

00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:52.740
 but I want you

00:13:52.740 --> 00:13:53.279
 to see here

00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:53.919
 He made

00:13:53.919 --> 00:13:55.539
 the coming

00:13:55.539 --> 00:13:56.399
 of the Holy Spirit

00:13:56.399 --> 00:13:56.839
 possible.

00:13:57.139 --> 00:13:57.839
 He went back

00:13:57.839 --> 00:13:58.319
 to glory

00:13:58.319 --> 00:13:58.740
 and He says,

00:13:58.819 --> 00:13:59.579
 I'm going to send

00:13:59.579 --> 00:14:01.000
 the Holy Spirit

00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:01.699
 to you.

00:14:02.339 --> 00:14:03.579
 Remember that Jesus

00:14:03.579 --> 00:14:04.639
 told His disciples

00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:05.479
 the importance

00:14:05.479 --> 00:14:06.979
 of the Holy Spirit

00:14:06.979 --> 00:14:07.919
 in the gospel

00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:09.159
 continuing.

00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:10.579
 The Holy Spirit

00:14:10.579 --> 00:14:11.339
 will be with

00:14:11.339 --> 00:14:12.019
 and work

00:14:12.019 --> 00:14:13.740
 within all the saints

00:14:13.740 --> 00:14:14.879
 at the same time.

00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:16.360
 Look back a little

00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:16.699
 earlier

00:14:16.699 --> 00:14:18.099
 into John chapter 14.

00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:19.779
 John chapter 14,

00:14:19.860 --> 00:14:20.139
 look down

00:14:20.139 --> 00:14:20.899
 at verse 12.

00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:23.179
 John 14

00:14:23.179 --> 00:14:24.000
 in verse 12

00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:24.720
 the Word of God

00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:25.460
 says this.

00:14:25.960 --> 00:14:26.299
 He says,

00:14:26.419 --> 00:14:26.960
 Verily, verily,

00:14:27.039 --> 00:14:27.840
 I say unto you

00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:28.659
 he that believeth

00:14:28.659 --> 00:14:29.179
 on me

00:14:29.179 --> 00:14:30.120
 the works

00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:30.960
 that I do

00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:31.879
 shall he do

00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:32.439
 also

00:14:32.439 --> 00:14:33.759
 and greater works

00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:34.360
 than these

00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:35.419
 shall he do.

00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:35.720
 Why?

00:14:35.860 --> 00:14:36.539
 Because I go

00:14:36.539 --> 00:14:37.399
 unto the

00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:39.000
 Father.

00:14:39.379 --> 00:14:40.000
 I want you to see here

00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:40.819
 Jesus was already

00:14:40.819 --> 00:14:41.860
 preparing His disciples

00:14:41.860 --> 00:14:42.679
 for the importance

00:14:42.679 --> 00:14:43.539
 of His ascension.

00:14:44.319 --> 00:14:45.059
 The importance

00:14:45.059 --> 00:14:45.399
 of Him

00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:46.399
 returning to heaven.

00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:47.399
 He said,

00:14:47.480 --> 00:14:47.759
 guys,

00:14:47.879 --> 00:14:49.100
 it's expedient

00:14:49.100 --> 00:14:49.540
 for you.

00:14:49.639 --> 00:14:50.180
 It's beneficial

00:14:50.180 --> 00:14:50.779
 for you

00:14:50.779 --> 00:14:51.560
 because it's

00:14:51.560 --> 00:14:53.800
 going to magnify

00:14:53.800 --> 00:14:54.639
 the work.

00:14:54.779 --> 00:14:55.080
 Notice this.

00:14:55.220 --> 00:14:56.300
 Greater works.

00:14:57.860 --> 00:14:59.360
 It's a greater impact.

00:14:59.519 --> 00:14:59.600
 You know,

00:14:59.659 --> 00:15:00.500
 that's pretty simple

00:15:00.500 --> 00:15:01.639
 dynamics.

00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:02.139
 You know what?

00:15:02.180 --> 00:15:03.000
 When you have more people

00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:03.540
 doing something,

00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:04.340
 more work happens.

00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:06.519
 I mean,

00:15:06.540 --> 00:15:07.139
 that's pretty simple

00:15:07.139 --> 00:15:07.659
 to understand.

00:15:07.740 --> 00:15:08.159
 The more people

00:15:08.159 --> 00:15:08.720
 you have doing something,

00:15:08.759 --> 00:15:09.540
 the more things happen.

00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:11.659
 Jesus said

00:15:11.659 --> 00:15:12.120
 we're going to do

00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:12.860
 greater works

00:15:12.860 --> 00:15:14.759
 not because of ourselves

00:15:14.759 --> 00:15:16.259
 but because of the Holy Spirit

00:15:16.259 --> 00:15:17.500
 that dwells within us.

00:15:17.500 --> 00:15:19.759
 Because as a believer,

00:15:19.879 --> 00:15:20.679
 I want you to understand

00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:22.320
 you get the Holy Spirit

00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:23.399
 at the moment of salvation.

00:15:25.139 --> 00:15:26.340
 You can't lose it.

00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:27.240
 He doesn't run away.

00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:28.139
 He never leaves you.

00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:29.220
 He never forsakes you.

00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:32.740
 He is always with you.

00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:33.720
 The Holy Spirit

00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:34.419
 is important.

00:15:34.899 --> 00:15:35.039
 You know,

00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:35.600
 and just for

00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:38.159
 a side note here quick,

00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:38.919
 I want you to understand

00:15:38.919 --> 00:15:39.179
 something

00:15:39.179 --> 00:15:39.860
 because sometimes

00:15:39.860 --> 00:15:40.639
 people lose sight

00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:41.159
 of the purpose

00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:41.899
 of the Holy Spirit.

00:15:41.899 --> 00:15:43.879
 The Holy Spirit

00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:44.699
 came once

00:15:44.699 --> 00:15:47.000
 but empowers

00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:48.439
 everyone that believes.

00:15:48.779 --> 00:15:49.240
 Now you say,

00:15:49.299 --> 00:15:49.500
 preacher,

00:15:49.620 --> 00:15:50.259
 why did you go there

00:15:50.259 --> 00:15:50.699
 for a moment?

00:15:50.779 --> 00:15:51.919
 There's a new movement out

00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:52.379
 that they want

00:15:52.379 --> 00:15:53.899
 a new fresh Holy Spirit

00:15:53.899 --> 00:15:54.360
 to fall.

00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:55.759
 It's being promoted

00:15:55.759 --> 00:15:57.919
 in Christian circles.

00:15:58.019 --> 00:15:58.600
 I want to tell you,

00:15:58.899 --> 00:15:59.399
 you ought to know

00:15:59.399 --> 00:15:59.840
 right away,

00:15:59.899 --> 00:16:00.319
 when they say,

00:16:00.459 --> 00:16:02.019
 I want a new Holy Spirit,

00:16:02.299 --> 00:16:02.980
 what are they saying?

00:16:03.019 --> 00:16:03.899
 I don't like the one

00:16:03.899 --> 00:16:04.959
 that we already have.

00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:06.899
 Or they don't believe

00:16:06.899 --> 00:16:08.059
 in the one we already have.

00:16:09.259 --> 00:16:10.139
 They say the one

00:16:10.139 --> 00:16:10.600
 that we have

00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:11.559
 isn't powerful enough

00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:12.319
 to do what he said

00:16:12.319 --> 00:16:12.600
 he wants.

00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:13.199
 You know what they want?

00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:13.600
 They're looking

00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:14.439
 for another spirit.

00:16:15.580 --> 00:16:16.199
 And it's not

00:16:16.199 --> 00:16:17.080
 the Spirit of God.

00:16:17.319 --> 00:16:17.679
 It's something

00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:18.480
 that's being pushed

00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:18.939
 right now.

00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:19.460
 So I want you

00:16:19.460 --> 00:16:20.279
 to understand

00:16:20.279 --> 00:16:21.519
 to be aware

00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:24.720
 that this dynamic,

00:16:24.939 --> 00:16:25.960
 it sounds good.

00:16:26.059 --> 00:16:27.179
 It's in many songs

00:16:27.179 --> 00:16:27.639
 that people,

00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:28.500
 modern songs

00:16:28.500 --> 00:16:29.419
 that people sing,

00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:31.860
 but it's false.

00:16:32.120 --> 00:16:32.699
 Be attentive.

00:16:32.819 --> 00:16:33.179
 We ought to have

00:16:33.179 --> 00:16:34.299
 discerning ears

00:16:34.299 --> 00:16:36.319
 to the truth

00:16:36.319 --> 00:16:38.120
 of what's going on.

00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:39.360
 But I want you

00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:39.879
 to see here,

00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:40.379
 it also,

00:16:40.500 --> 00:16:41.299
 when Jesus went

00:16:41.299 --> 00:16:41.879
 into heaven,

00:16:42.179 --> 00:16:43.039
 it was to make

00:16:43.039 --> 00:16:44.620
 the plan clear.

00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:45.399
 You know,

00:16:45.439 --> 00:16:46.759
 the work of the Holy Spirit

00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:47.379
 in the lives

00:16:47.379 --> 00:16:48.220
 of believers today

00:16:48.220 --> 00:16:49.580
 is part of God's plan.

00:16:51.439 --> 00:16:53.100
 Salvation was a work

00:16:53.100 --> 00:16:53.939
 of God.

00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:57.679
 Salvation is totally

00:16:57.679 --> 00:16:58.500
 by God.

00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:01.460
 He designed it,

00:17:02.340 --> 00:17:04.279
 he planned it,

00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:06.299
 he fulfilled it,

00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:07.500
 and he's going to

00:17:07.500 --> 00:17:08.660
 keep the promise of it.

00:17:08.660 --> 00:17:10.320
 everything to do

00:17:10.320 --> 00:17:10.980
 with salvation

00:17:10.980 --> 00:17:11.759
 is of God.

00:17:12.860 --> 00:17:13.660
 We didn't do

00:17:13.660 --> 00:17:14.519
 any part of it.

00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:16.420
 What God gave to us

00:17:16.420 --> 00:17:17.420
 is nothing of what

00:17:17.420 --> 00:17:17.900
 we did.

00:17:17.980 --> 00:17:19.279
 The work of the Holy Spirit

00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:20.800
 is important though

00:17:20.800 --> 00:17:21.860
 because salvation

00:17:21.860 --> 00:17:23.200
 was the work of God.

00:17:23.460 --> 00:17:24.080
 It included

00:17:24.080 --> 00:17:24.779
 all of them,

00:17:24.820 --> 00:17:25.279
 the Father,

00:17:25.420 --> 00:17:25.900
 the Son,

00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:26.880
 and the Holy Spirit.

00:17:27.300 --> 00:17:28.080
 Because you consider

00:17:28.080 --> 00:17:29.600
 here that the Father

00:17:29.600 --> 00:17:30.779
 sent the Son

00:17:30.779 --> 00:17:31.940
 to die upon the cross

00:17:31.940 --> 00:17:32.500
 for our sin.

00:17:32.580 --> 00:17:33.519
 The Son goes away

00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:34.640
 and the Holy Spirit sent.

00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:36.320
 I want you to understand

00:17:36.320 --> 00:17:37.440
 all of God

00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:38.020
 is involved

00:17:38.020 --> 00:17:38.860
 in our salvation

00:17:38.860 --> 00:17:39.820
 because there is

00:17:39.820 --> 00:17:40.660
 no distinction.

00:17:42.180 --> 00:17:43.220
 God is one,

00:17:43.460 --> 00:17:44.500
 but we recognize

00:17:44.500 --> 00:17:46.000
 this is that trinity

00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:47.259
 that's a fancy

00:17:47.259 --> 00:17:48.360
 theological term

00:17:48.360 --> 00:17:49.259
 that gets thrown around,

00:17:49.380 --> 00:17:50.820
 but it's that God

00:17:50.820 --> 00:17:51.460
 is three,

00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:52.280
 but he's one.

00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:53.580
 God the Father,

00:17:53.700 --> 00:17:54.140
 God the Son,

00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:55.160
 God the Holy Spirit,

00:17:55.280 --> 00:17:56.100
 they are one.

00:17:57.860 --> 00:17:59.060
 There's no separating

00:17:59.060 --> 00:17:59.740
 them in that sense,

00:17:59.800 --> 00:18:00.680
 but they are distinct.

00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:01.080
 Now,

00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:03.960
 I want you to understand

00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:04.740
 this picture

00:18:04.740 --> 00:18:06.039
 of what's happening

00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:07.180
 because the Holy Spirit

00:18:07.180 --> 00:18:07.799
 is the one

00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:08.960
 that makes it personal.

00:18:10.299 --> 00:18:11.259
 The Holy Spirit

00:18:11.259 --> 00:18:11.640
 is the one

00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:12.480
 that makes salvation

00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:13.620
 personal to us.

00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:15.860
 Take a look over

00:18:15.860 --> 00:18:17.039
 into John chapter 16

00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:17.840
 again for a moment.

00:18:18.840 --> 00:18:19.440
 Here's Jesus

00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:20.400
 is instructing

00:18:20.400 --> 00:18:21.120
 his disciples.

00:18:21.580 --> 00:18:22.320
 Notice what he says,

00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:22.620
 Nevertheless,

00:18:22.840 --> 00:18:23.519
 I tell you the truth,

00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:24.500
 expediently for you

00:18:24.500 --> 00:18:25.120
 I go away.

00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:27.580
 If I go not away,

00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:28.080
 the Comforter

00:18:28.080 --> 00:18:28.880
 will not come unto you,

00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:29.480
 but if I depart,

00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:30.799
 I will send him unto you.

00:18:31.099 --> 00:18:32.620
 And when he has come,

00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:33.680
 he will reprove

00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:34.660
 the world of sin

00:18:34.660 --> 00:18:36.000
 and of righteousness

00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:36.900
 and of judgment,

00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:37.880
 of sin because

00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:38.900
 they believe not on me,

00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:39.500
 of righteousness

00:18:39.500 --> 00:18:40.920
 because I go to my Father

00:18:40.920 --> 00:18:43.599
 and ye see me no more,

00:18:43.960 --> 00:18:44.819
 of judgment

00:18:44.819 --> 00:18:45.799
 because the prince

00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:46.559
 of this world

00:18:46.559 --> 00:18:47.819
 is judged.

00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:49.000
 I want you to understand

00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:49.640
 he's talking about

00:18:49.640 --> 00:18:50.500
 the Holy Spirit's

00:18:50.500 --> 00:18:51.819
 interaction with individuals.

00:18:53.299 --> 00:18:53.500
 You know,

00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:54.380
 the Holy Spirit

00:18:54.380 --> 00:18:55.200
 interacts

00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:57.160
 with even a lost person.

00:18:57.160 --> 00:18:58.120
 That's the conviction.

00:18:58.119 --> 00:18:59.459
 His job

00:18:59.459 --> 00:19:00.259
 is to convict

00:19:00.259 --> 00:19:00.939
 a sinner

00:19:00.939 --> 00:19:02.159
 that they have

00:19:02.159 --> 00:19:02.919
 fallen short

00:19:02.919 --> 00:19:03.819
 of the glory of God.

00:19:03.899 --> 00:19:04.879
 Through the word of God,

00:19:04.959 --> 00:19:05.659
 the Holy Spirit

00:19:05.659 --> 00:19:06.919
 convicts an individual.

00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:08.639
 Conviction is important

00:19:08.639 --> 00:19:09.399
 because you know,

00:19:09.439 --> 00:19:10.439
 if somebody doesn't understand

00:19:10.439 --> 00:19:11.399
 they're truly a sinner

00:19:11.399 --> 00:19:13.299
 and if separated from God,

00:19:13.359 --> 00:19:13.939
 it's impossible

00:19:13.939 --> 00:19:14.899
 for them to be saved.

00:19:16.659 --> 00:19:18.039
 Because if you don't recognize

00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:19.279
 where you stand with God,

00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:19.819
 there's no way

00:19:19.819 --> 00:19:20.439
 you're going to correct

00:19:20.439 --> 00:19:21.379
 your standing with God.

00:19:22.859 --> 00:19:23.319
 You know,

00:19:23.339 --> 00:19:24.079
 it's like anything else.

00:19:24.099 --> 00:19:24.759
 If you have the wrong

00:19:24.759 --> 00:19:25.439
 starting point,

00:19:25.500 --> 00:19:26.219
 you'll never get to where

00:19:26.219 --> 00:19:27.079
 you think you want to go.

00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:29.779
 If you want to be right

00:19:29.779 --> 00:19:30.240
 with God,

00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:31.399
 it starts with the reality

00:19:31.399 --> 00:19:32.159
 that I'm a sinner

00:19:32.159 --> 00:19:33.019
 that's fallen short

00:19:33.019 --> 00:19:33.879
 of the glory of God.

00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:34.879
 That comes from

00:19:34.879 --> 00:19:36.179
 the truth of God's word.

00:19:36.559 --> 00:19:37.179
 It comes from

00:19:37.179 --> 00:19:37.960
 the understanding

00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:38.720
 and the conviction

00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:40.259
 of the Holy Spirit.

00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:41.579
 But I want you to see

00:19:41.579 --> 00:19:42.199
 it not only made

00:19:42.199 --> 00:19:43.379
 the plan clear,

00:19:43.599 --> 00:19:44.720
 but it also made

00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:46.199
 the Lord's plan complete.

00:19:47.240 --> 00:19:47.500
 You know,

00:19:48.220 --> 00:19:49.799
 look at verse 19

00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:51.359
 and he said this

00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:51.699
 and he said,

00:19:51.899 --> 00:19:52.159
 after the Lord

00:19:52.159 --> 00:19:52.539
 has spoken,

00:19:52.639 --> 00:19:53.480
 he was received

00:19:53.480 --> 00:19:54.159
 up into heaven

00:19:54.160 --> 00:19:55.220
 and sat on the right

00:19:55.220 --> 00:19:57.060
 hand of God.

00:19:57.620 --> 00:19:59.019
 Jesus sat on the right

00:19:59.019 --> 00:19:59.740
 hand of God.

00:19:59.840 --> 00:20:00.600
 He went to heaven

00:20:00.600 --> 00:20:01.720
 and is seated

00:20:01.720 --> 00:20:02.700
 at the right hand

00:20:02.700 --> 00:20:03.340
 of the Father.

00:20:04.420 --> 00:20:04.600
 You know,

00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:05.460
 I want you to understand

00:20:05.460 --> 00:20:05.960
 this morning

00:20:05.960 --> 00:20:07.200
 that Jesus isn't up there

00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:08.019
 taking a vacation.

00:20:08.380 --> 00:20:09.140
 He went to the right

00:20:09.140 --> 00:20:09.940
 hand of the Father

00:20:09.940 --> 00:20:11.940
 and he's still doing

00:20:11.940 --> 00:20:14.480
 today for us.

00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:16.779
 There's many things

00:20:16.779 --> 00:20:17.620
 that him going

00:20:17.620 --> 00:20:19.460
 to glory did.

00:20:19.460 --> 00:20:20.759
 When he sits there

00:20:20.759 --> 00:20:21.579
 at the right hand

00:20:21.579 --> 00:20:22.160
 of the Father,

00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:23.460
 I want you to understand

00:20:23.460 --> 00:20:24.460
 the first dynamic

00:20:24.460 --> 00:20:25.160
 we can look at

00:20:25.160 --> 00:20:25.539
 is the fact

00:20:25.539 --> 00:20:26.779
 that he was a conqueror.

00:20:27.420 --> 00:20:28.720
 He came and he conquered

00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:30.360
 death and sin.

00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:32.480
 He conquered it completely

00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:33.819
 and he sits down

00:20:33.819 --> 00:20:34.559
 on the right hand

00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:35.140
 of the Father.

00:20:35.460 --> 00:20:35.880
 He says,

00:20:36.120 --> 00:20:37.019
 it is complete.

00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:38.720
 I am victorious.

00:20:40.180 --> 00:20:41.279
 He has completed

00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:42.019
 all those things.

00:20:42.079 --> 00:20:42.960
 Look over to Colossians

00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:44.019
 chapter 2 this morning.

00:20:44.319 --> 00:20:45.440
 Look down at verse 13.

00:20:46.759 --> 00:20:47.120
 It says,

00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:48.160
 and you being dead

00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:48.920
 in your sins

00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:49.940
 and the uncircumcision

00:20:49.940 --> 00:20:50.779
 of your flesh

00:20:50.779 --> 00:20:51.860
 hath he quickened together

00:20:51.860 --> 00:20:52.800
 with him

00:20:52.800 --> 00:20:55.300
 having forgiven you

00:20:55.300 --> 00:20:56.279
 all trespasses,

00:20:56.840 --> 00:20:57.500
 blotting out

00:20:57.500 --> 00:20:58.200
 the handwriting

00:20:58.200 --> 00:20:58.820
 of ordinance

00:20:58.820 --> 00:21:00.000
 that was against us

00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:01.140
 which is contrary

00:21:01.140 --> 00:21:01.880
 to us

00:21:01.880 --> 00:21:02.580
 and took it out

00:21:02.580 --> 00:21:02.980
 of the way,

00:21:03.100 --> 00:21:04.340
 nailing it to his cross

00:21:04.340 --> 00:21:05.759
 and having spoiled

00:21:05.759 --> 00:21:07.160
 principalities and powers,

00:21:07.600 --> 00:21:08.440
 he made a show

00:21:08.440 --> 00:21:09.380
 of them openly,

00:21:09.840 --> 00:21:11.460
 triumphing over them

00:21:11.460 --> 00:21:12.519
 in it.

00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:15.500
 When Jesus went to heaven

00:21:15.500 --> 00:21:16.320
 it was a matter

00:21:16.320 --> 00:21:16.900
 of triumph.

00:21:16.900 --> 00:21:17.040
 triumph.

00:21:17.860 --> 00:21:18.920
 He was victorious.

00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:20.780
 He sat down

00:21:20.780 --> 00:21:21.519
 at the right hand

00:21:21.519 --> 00:21:22.060
 of the Father

00:21:22.060 --> 00:21:23.019
 and said that part

00:21:23.019 --> 00:21:23.600
 of the job

00:21:23.600 --> 00:21:24.820
 is totally complete.

00:21:25.860 --> 00:21:26.920
 It is accomplished.

00:21:28.259 --> 00:21:28.500
 You know,

00:21:28.540 --> 00:21:29.600
 what a wonderful thing

00:21:29.600 --> 00:21:30.259
 that Jesus

00:21:30.259 --> 00:21:31.400
 is a conqueror

00:21:31.400 --> 00:21:32.540
 of sin and death.

00:21:32.640 --> 00:21:32.780
 You know,

00:21:32.840 --> 00:21:33.780
 our very salvation

00:21:33.780 --> 00:21:34.880
 rests on that fact

00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:37.400
 that he is the victor

00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:38.600
 but he was also

00:21:38.600 --> 00:21:39.780
 now a guarantor.

00:21:40.420 --> 00:21:41.320
 The guarantor,

00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:41.600
 you know,

00:21:41.660 --> 00:21:42.259
 we find here,

00:21:42.300 --> 00:21:43.160
 look up to Ephesians

00:21:43.160 --> 00:21:43.920
 chapter 2.

00:21:43.920 --> 00:21:45.680
 Ephesians chapter 2

00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:46.460
 and verse 6

00:21:46.460 --> 00:21:47.600
 it says this,

00:21:47.660 --> 00:21:47.940
 he says,

00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:48.980
 who hath raised us

00:21:48.980 --> 00:21:49.580
 up together

00:21:49.580 --> 00:21:50.539
 and made us

00:21:50.539 --> 00:21:51.259
 to sit together

00:21:51.259 --> 00:21:52.320
 in heavenly places

00:21:52.320 --> 00:21:53.380
 in Christ Jesus

00:21:53.380 --> 00:21:54.779
 that in the ages

00:21:54.779 --> 00:21:55.300
 to come

00:21:55.300 --> 00:21:55.960
 he might show

00:21:55.960 --> 00:21:57.039
 the exceeding riches

00:21:57.039 --> 00:21:58.019
 of his grace

00:21:58.019 --> 00:21:59.320
 in his kindness

00:21:59.320 --> 00:22:00.940
 towards us

00:22:00.940 --> 00:22:03.300
 through Christ Jesus.

00:22:03.700 --> 00:22:04.039
 Now,

00:22:04.120 --> 00:22:05.039
 I want you to see here

00:22:05.039 --> 00:22:06.100
 something very important.

00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:06.880
 He is the one

00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:07.580
 that guarantees

00:22:07.580 --> 00:22:08.600
 that when you're saved

00:22:08.600 --> 00:22:09.400
 you're going to go to heaven.

00:22:09.720 --> 00:22:09.840
 You know,

00:22:09.920 --> 00:22:10.400
 I want you to understand,

00:22:10.460 --> 00:22:11.160
 that's good news.

00:22:11.420 --> 00:22:11.580
 You know,

00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:12.420
 this world offers

00:22:12.420 --> 00:22:13.320
 a lot of guarantees

00:22:13.320 --> 00:22:14.460
 but there's no guarantee

00:22:14.460 --> 00:22:15.640
 better than Jesus' guarantee.

00:22:16.019 --> 00:22:16.700
 He said it

00:22:16.700 --> 00:22:17.440
 and it's going to happen.

00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:18.380
 It's a truth

00:22:18.380 --> 00:22:20.040
 that we can grab a hold of.

00:22:20.080 --> 00:22:21.120
 Look over to Colossians

00:22:21.120 --> 00:22:21.840
 chapter 1

00:22:21.840 --> 00:22:22.600
 and verse 22.

00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:24.800
 He says this,

00:22:24.800 --> 00:22:26.000
 in the body of his flesh

00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:26.680
 through death

00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:27.820
 to present you

00:22:27.820 --> 00:22:29.140
 holy and blamable

00:22:29.140 --> 00:22:30.500
 and unreprovable

00:22:30.500 --> 00:22:31.500
 in his sight.

00:22:31.880 --> 00:22:33.060
 I want you to understand

00:22:33.060 --> 00:22:34.200
 that he is the guarantor

00:22:34.200 --> 00:22:35.160
 that when you get to heaven

00:22:35.160 --> 00:22:36.420
 that your sin

00:22:36.420 --> 00:22:37.560
 is no longer

00:22:37.560 --> 00:22:38.180
 on the books.

00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:39.200
 It's been wiped out.

00:22:39.259 --> 00:22:40.279
 It's been taken care of.

00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:41.819
 He's blotted those things out.

00:22:44.420 --> 00:22:45.000
 Have you ever thought

00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:46.259
 about the sin of your life

00:22:46.259 --> 00:22:47.099
 when you get saved

00:22:47.099 --> 00:22:48.299
 Jesus looks at your sin

00:22:48.299 --> 00:22:48.740
 and says

00:22:48.740 --> 00:22:50.200
 paid,

00:22:50.579 --> 00:22:50.899
 paid,

00:22:51.319 --> 00:22:51.639
 paid,

00:22:51.980 --> 00:22:52.339
 paid,

00:22:52.619 --> 00:22:52.960
 paid.

00:22:53.480 --> 00:22:54.720
 He is the one

00:22:54.720 --> 00:22:56.779
 that guarantees

00:22:56.779 --> 00:22:57.759
 our access

00:22:57.759 --> 00:22:58.420
 because he's the one

00:22:58.420 --> 00:22:59.440
 that took it upon himself.

00:23:00.579 --> 00:23:01.279
 He's the one

00:23:01.279 --> 00:23:01.920
 that provided

00:23:01.920 --> 00:23:03.039
 and when he went to heaven

00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:04.399
 as a guarantor

00:23:04.399 --> 00:23:05.319
 before the Father

00:23:05.319 --> 00:23:06.180
 but he also

00:23:06.180 --> 00:23:07.119
 is our advocate.

00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:08.920
 You know,

00:23:08.960 --> 00:23:09.619
 I want you to understand

00:23:09.619 --> 00:23:10.599
 we need an advocate

00:23:10.599 --> 00:23:11.259
 with the Father.

00:23:12.819 --> 00:23:13.439
 An advocate

00:23:13.439 --> 00:23:14.079
 with the Father

00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:14.759
 is essential.

00:23:14.899 --> 00:23:15.239
 You look over

00:23:15.239 --> 00:23:16.519
 to 1 John 2.

00:23:16.979 --> 00:23:18.319
 1 John 2

00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:19.659
 in verse 1

00:23:19.659 --> 00:23:20.379
 the word of God

00:23:20.379 --> 00:23:21.019
 tells us this,

00:23:21.099 --> 00:23:21.839
 my little children

00:23:21.839 --> 00:23:23.079
 these things write unto you

00:23:23.079 --> 00:23:23.879
 that you sin not

00:23:23.879 --> 00:23:25.239
 and if any man sin

00:23:25.239 --> 00:23:26.279
 we have an advocate

00:23:26.279 --> 00:23:27.119
 with the Father

00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:28.079
 Jesus Christ

00:23:28.079 --> 00:23:28.679
 the righteous.

00:23:29.959 --> 00:23:30.159
 You know,

00:23:30.439 --> 00:23:31.500
 we need Jesus

00:23:31.500 --> 00:23:32.199
 advocating

00:23:32.199 --> 00:23:33.079
 on our behalf.

00:23:33.339 --> 00:23:33.959
 There's a lot more

00:23:33.959 --> 00:23:34.859
 we could go into here

00:23:34.859 --> 00:23:35.699
 but I want you to understand

00:23:35.699 --> 00:23:36.059
 it's important

00:23:36.059 --> 00:23:36.739
 why did Jesus

00:23:36.739 --> 00:23:37.559
 go back to heaven?

00:23:37.559 --> 00:23:40.419
 because he's now

00:23:40.419 --> 00:23:40.940
 our advocate.

00:23:41.299 --> 00:23:42.179
 He is there

00:23:42.179 --> 00:23:43.859
 as our representative

00:23:43.859 --> 00:23:44.980
 before God.

00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:46.119
 But notice he says

00:23:46.119 --> 00:23:47.200
 and he is a propitiation

00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:47.960
 for our sins

00:23:47.960 --> 00:23:49.639
 and not ours only

00:23:49.639 --> 00:23:51.000
 but also the sins

00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:51.779
 of the whole world.

00:23:51.899 --> 00:23:52.480
 What he did

00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:53.299
 was sufficient

00:23:53.299 --> 00:23:54.799
 for everybody.

00:23:56.799 --> 00:23:56.980
 You know,

00:23:57.019 --> 00:23:57.879
 I want you to understand

00:23:57.879 --> 00:23:58.740
 when Christ

00:23:58.740 --> 00:24:00.039
 paid for sin

00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:00.899
 it was full

00:24:00.899 --> 00:24:01.839
 and it was complete

00:24:01.839 --> 00:24:03.460
 and there was nothing

00:24:03.460 --> 00:24:05.399
 else needed.

00:24:05.400 --> 00:24:07.000
 but notice

00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:07.700
 turn to Romans

00:24:07.700 --> 00:24:08.380
 chapter 8

00:24:08.380 --> 00:24:08.860
 for a moment.

00:24:08.980 --> 00:24:09.780
 Romans chapter 8

00:24:09.780 --> 00:24:10.660
 verse 34

00:24:10.660 --> 00:24:11.880
 the word of God

00:24:11.880 --> 00:24:12.519
 says this

00:24:12.519 --> 00:24:13.460
 who is he

00:24:13.460 --> 00:24:14.300
 that condemneth

00:24:14.300 --> 00:24:15.400
 is it Christ

00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:16.040
 that died

00:24:16.040 --> 00:24:16.600
 yea rather

00:24:16.600 --> 00:24:17.860
 that he is risen again

00:24:17.860 --> 00:24:19.240
 who is even

00:24:19.240 --> 00:24:20.160
 at the right hand

00:24:20.160 --> 00:24:20.660
 of God

00:24:20.660 --> 00:24:21.820
 who also does what

00:24:21.820 --> 00:24:22.980
 maketh intercession

00:24:22.980 --> 00:24:24.380
 for us.

00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:24.620
 You know

00:24:24.620 --> 00:24:25.800
 that's what an advocate

00:24:25.800 --> 00:24:26.060
 does

00:24:26.060 --> 00:24:27.060
 he makes intercession

00:24:27.060 --> 00:24:27.740
 for us.

00:24:29.300 --> 00:24:30.220
 He's there

00:24:30.220 --> 00:24:31.120
 representing

00:24:31.120 --> 00:24:32.200
 on our behalf

00:24:32.200 --> 00:24:33.340
 of our needs

00:24:33.340 --> 00:24:33.900
 the things

00:24:33.900 --> 00:24:34.820
 that are going on.

00:24:35.180 --> 00:24:35.759
 He is there

00:24:35.759 --> 00:24:37.420
 beside the Father.

00:24:37.840 --> 00:24:38.480
 But I want you to see

00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:39.620
 Hebrews chapter 7

00:24:39.620 --> 00:24:40.460
 verse 25

00:24:40.460 --> 00:24:41.600
 he says this

00:24:41.600 --> 00:24:42.519
 wherefore he is able

00:24:42.519 --> 00:24:43.300
 to save them

00:24:43.300 --> 00:24:44.240
 to the uttermost

00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:45.000
 that come unto God

00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:45.540
 by him

00:24:45.540 --> 00:24:47.120
 seeing he ever liveth

00:24:47.120 --> 00:24:47.759
 to make what?

00:24:48.140 --> 00:24:48.580
 Intercession

00:24:48.580 --> 00:24:50.680
 for them.

00:24:50.880 --> 00:24:51.100
 You know

00:24:51.100 --> 00:24:51.860
 if you're saved

00:24:51.860 --> 00:24:52.820
 you have an advocate

00:24:52.820 --> 00:24:53.420
 in heaven.

00:24:53.840 --> 00:24:54.000
 You know

00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:54.980
 one of the main purposes

00:24:54.980 --> 00:24:55.540
 of an advocate

00:24:55.540 --> 00:24:55.940
 is somebody

00:24:55.940 --> 00:24:56.860
 that's on your side

00:24:56.860 --> 00:24:58.060
 that's there for you.

00:24:59.320 --> 00:25:00.720
 That's a powerful reality.

00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:02.920
 That if you've called

00:25:02.920 --> 00:25:03.380
 upon him

00:25:03.380 --> 00:25:03.920
 as Savior

00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:05.279
 you have an advocate

00:25:05.279 --> 00:25:07.100
 with the Father.

00:25:07.420 --> 00:25:07.860
 But also

00:25:07.860 --> 00:25:09.079
 Jesus' ascension

00:25:09.079 --> 00:25:09.860
 made way

00:25:09.860 --> 00:25:10.920
 for him to come again.

00:25:12.059 --> 00:25:12.380
 You know

00:25:12.380 --> 00:25:13.400
 the Bible makes it clear

00:25:13.400 --> 00:25:14.819
 Jesus is going to come again

00:25:14.819 --> 00:25:16.460
 as a coming Savior.

00:25:16.940 --> 00:25:17.519
 He was going to be

00:25:17.519 --> 00:25:18.460
 a Savior

00:25:18.460 --> 00:25:19.779
 that's going to come victorious.

00:25:19.900 --> 00:25:20.559
 The first time

00:25:20.559 --> 00:25:21.960
 he came as a lamb

00:25:21.960 --> 00:25:23.059
 in the manger

00:25:23.059 --> 00:25:24.460
 a babe born

00:25:24.460 --> 00:25:25.180
 helpless

00:25:25.180 --> 00:25:26.500
 and we find

00:25:26.500 --> 00:25:26.900
 that as

00:25:26.900 --> 00:25:28.420
 he was the Lamb of God

00:25:28.420 --> 00:25:29.339
 that took away

00:25:29.339 --> 00:25:30.159
 the sin of the world

00:25:30.159 --> 00:25:30.899
 as he died

00:25:30.899 --> 00:25:31.519
 on the cross

00:25:31.519 --> 00:25:32.000
 that day.

00:25:32.159 --> 00:25:33.500
 He took all the sin

00:25:33.500 --> 00:25:34.579
 that ever has happened

00:25:34.579 --> 00:25:35.919
 and ever is going to happen

00:25:35.919 --> 00:25:37.339
 until the end of time

00:25:37.339 --> 00:25:38.759
 and he took it upon himself

00:25:38.759 --> 00:25:40.919
 to make provision

00:25:40.919 --> 00:25:41.359
 to say

00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:41.939
 it's enough

00:25:41.939 --> 00:25:43.659
 to cover everything.

00:25:44.240 --> 00:25:45.259
 What Jesus did

00:25:45.259 --> 00:25:46.000
 was complete

00:25:46.000 --> 00:25:47.259
 but it's a coming Savior.

00:25:47.980 --> 00:25:48.119
 You know

00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:48.679
 look back over

00:25:48.679 --> 00:25:49.859
 to Acts chapter 1

00:25:49.859 --> 00:25:50.699
 where we talked

00:25:50.699 --> 00:25:51.319
 a little earlier

00:25:51.319 --> 00:25:52.240
 because as Jesus

00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:53.339
 goes up into heaven

00:25:53.339 --> 00:25:54.759
 and he's there

00:25:54.759 --> 00:25:55.459
 notice this

00:25:55.459 --> 00:25:55.819
 and it says

00:25:55.819 --> 00:25:57.000
 in verse 11

00:25:57.000 --> 00:25:57.859
 which also said

00:25:57.859 --> 00:25:58.699
 ye men of Galilee

00:25:58.700 --> 00:25:59.420
 why stand ye

00:25:59.420 --> 00:26:00.600
 gazing up into heaven?

00:26:01.819 --> 00:26:03.240
 Notice what the angel says

00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:04.819
 this who?

00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:07.480
 Which Jesus?

00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:09.779
 Same Jesus.

00:26:10.799 --> 00:26:11.000
 You know

00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:13.000
 the same Jesus

00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:13.920
 which is taken up

00:26:13.920 --> 00:26:14.880
 from you into heaven

00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:16.279
 shall so come

00:26:16.279 --> 00:26:17.240
 in like manner

00:26:17.240 --> 00:26:17.960
 as you've seen him

00:26:17.960 --> 00:26:18.840
 go up into heaven.

00:26:19.759 --> 00:26:20.200
 You know what

00:26:20.200 --> 00:26:21.180
 from the very time

00:26:21.180 --> 00:26:21.880
 he went into heaven

00:26:21.880 --> 00:26:22.519
 it was already

00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:23.360
 the declaration

00:26:23.360 --> 00:26:23.740
 that hey

00:26:23.740 --> 00:26:24.440
 I'm coming

00:26:24.440 --> 00:26:25.360
 again.

00:26:25.700 --> 00:26:26.620
 He had told him

00:26:26.620 --> 00:26:27.740
 that many times.

00:26:27.740 --> 00:26:28.299
 You know

00:26:28.299 --> 00:26:28.779
 look over to

00:26:28.779 --> 00:26:29.880
 John chapter 14

00:26:29.880 --> 00:26:31.039
 remember this is

00:26:31.039 --> 00:26:31.799
 another section

00:26:31.799 --> 00:26:32.579
 there where Jesus

00:26:32.579 --> 00:26:33.220
 is preparing

00:26:33.220 --> 00:26:34.079
 his disciples

00:26:34.079 --> 00:26:35.519
 for the end

00:26:35.519 --> 00:26:36.740
 and he looks at them

00:26:36.740 --> 00:26:37.539
 and tells them this

00:26:37.539 --> 00:26:37.819
 he says

00:26:37.819 --> 00:26:38.680
 let not your heart

00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:39.200
 be troubled

00:26:39.200 --> 00:26:40.500
 you believe in God

00:26:40.500 --> 00:26:41.539
 believe also in me

00:26:41.539 --> 00:26:42.599
 and my father's house

00:26:42.599 --> 00:26:44.019
 there are many mansions

00:26:44.019 --> 00:26:44.740
 if it were not

00:26:44.740 --> 00:26:45.900
 so I would have told you

00:26:45.900 --> 00:26:47.480
 I go to do what?

00:26:47.579 --> 00:26:48.440
 Prepare a place

00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:50.380
 for you.

00:26:50.900 --> 00:26:51.900
 Jesus went to heaven

00:26:51.900 --> 00:26:53.319
 to prepare a place

00:26:53.319 --> 00:26:55.120
 for all those

00:26:55.120 --> 00:26:56.160
 who will call upon him.

00:26:56.160 --> 00:26:57.360
 He says

00:26:57.360 --> 00:26:58.560
 I'm preparing a place

00:26:58.560 --> 00:26:59.860
 I'm expecting you

00:26:59.860 --> 00:27:00.360
 you know

00:27:00.360 --> 00:27:00.940
 as a believer

00:27:00.940 --> 00:27:01.980
 that I get you excited

00:27:01.980 --> 00:27:03.900
 that God is expecting you

00:27:03.900 --> 00:27:04.700
 one day in heaven.

00:27:06.640 --> 00:27:07.420
 It's always good

00:27:07.420 --> 00:27:08.120
 to be expected

00:27:08.120 --> 00:27:08.800
 and prepared

00:27:08.800 --> 00:27:09.220
 you know

00:27:09.220 --> 00:27:11.980
 he's not going to be

00:27:11.980 --> 00:27:12.880
 caught flat footed

00:27:12.880 --> 00:27:13.160
 he says

00:27:13.160 --> 00:27:14.180
 I'm preparing a place

00:27:14.180 --> 00:27:14.480
 he said

00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:14.779
 no no

00:27:14.779 --> 00:27:15.240
 verse 3

00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:16.440
 and if I go

00:27:16.440 --> 00:27:17.360
 and prepare a place

00:27:17.360 --> 00:27:17.660
 for you

00:27:17.660 --> 00:27:18.360
 I will what?

00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:20.180
 Come again

00:27:20.180 --> 00:27:21.860
 and receive you

00:27:21.860 --> 00:27:22.460
 unto myself

00:27:22.460 --> 00:27:23.320
 that where I am

00:27:23.320 --> 00:27:24.120
 you may be what?

00:27:24.119 --> 00:27:25.519
 also

00:27:25.519 --> 00:27:28.759
 Jesus ascended

00:27:28.759 --> 00:27:29.379
 into heaven

00:27:29.379 --> 00:27:30.659
 because he's coming back

00:27:30.659 --> 00:27:31.519
 because in the meantime

00:27:31.519 --> 00:27:32.659
 he's doing some other things

00:27:32.659 --> 00:27:33.219
 that are important

00:27:33.219 --> 00:27:35.099
 he's given to us

00:27:35.099 --> 00:27:36.179
 all these things

00:27:36.179 --> 00:27:36.659
 and as we

00:27:36.659 --> 00:27:38.139
 see and understand

00:27:38.139 --> 00:27:38.979
 when Jesus

00:27:38.979 --> 00:27:39.959
 returned to glory

00:27:39.959 --> 00:27:41.019
 he opened the door

00:27:41.019 --> 00:27:42.239
 for all that will

00:27:42.239 --> 00:27:43.119
 trust in him

00:27:43.119 --> 00:27:44.619
 in his finished work

00:27:44.619 --> 00:27:45.279
 by faith

00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:45.959
 it results

00:27:45.959 --> 00:27:47.500
 in our course

00:27:47.500 --> 00:27:48.759
 in this life

00:27:48.759 --> 00:27:49.539
 because notice

00:27:49.539 --> 00:27:50.379
 something happened

00:27:50.379 --> 00:27:51.039
 because Jesus

00:27:51.039 --> 00:27:51.639
 went to heaven

00:27:51.640 --> 00:27:54.360
 the disciples

00:27:54.360 --> 00:27:55.120
 weren't there

00:27:55.120 --> 00:27:56.280
 and Jesus said

00:27:56.280 --> 00:27:56.860
 okay you guys

00:27:56.860 --> 00:27:57.620
 know all this

00:27:57.620 --> 00:27:58.400
 now sit around

00:27:58.400 --> 00:27:59.100
 and keep talking

00:27:59.100 --> 00:27:59.580
 about it

00:27:59.580 --> 00:28:01.380
 start a school

00:28:01.380 --> 00:28:02.600
 and educate everybody

00:28:02.600 --> 00:28:03.320
 that isn't what

00:28:03.320 --> 00:28:03.759
 he told them

00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:04.440
 is it?

00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:04.960
 look back up

00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:05.720
 at verse 15

00:28:05.720 --> 00:28:07.759
 he says

00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:09.160
 go ye

00:28:09.160 --> 00:28:10.320
 into all the world

00:28:10.320 --> 00:28:10.900
 and do what?

00:28:11.520 --> 00:28:12.759
 preach the gospel

00:28:12.759 --> 00:28:13.580
 to every creature

00:28:13.580 --> 00:28:15.759
 it's a universal

00:28:15.759 --> 00:28:16.400
 mandate

00:28:16.400 --> 00:28:17.140
 that others

00:28:17.140 --> 00:28:17.980
 hear the gospel

00:28:17.980 --> 00:28:19.380
 you know

00:28:19.380 --> 00:28:19.799
 we ought to

00:28:19.799 --> 00:28:20.319
 understand

00:28:20.319 --> 00:28:21.079
 the importance

00:28:21.079 --> 00:28:22.319
 of that

00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:23.200
 and the commission

00:28:23.200 --> 00:28:24.480
 that they were sent

00:28:24.480 --> 00:28:25.319
 because it leads

00:28:25.319 --> 00:28:26.160
 to the action

00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:26.980
 of the saints

00:28:26.980 --> 00:28:29.000
 Jesus' ascension

00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:29.500
 to heaven

00:28:29.500 --> 00:28:30.680
 leads to the action

00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:31.400
 of the saints

00:28:31.400 --> 00:28:32.579
 the saints

00:28:32.579 --> 00:28:32.960
 ought to have

00:28:32.960 --> 00:28:33.559
 some action

00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:35.880
 you know

00:28:35.880 --> 00:28:36.400
 the problem is

00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:37.420
 sometimes we enjoy

00:28:37.420 --> 00:28:39.279
 sitting more

00:28:39.279 --> 00:28:40.039
 than we do working

00:28:40.039 --> 00:28:41.019
 but salvation

00:28:41.019 --> 00:28:42.240
 puts us

00:28:42.240 --> 00:28:43.599
 to work

00:28:43.599 --> 00:28:46.140
 when you're saved

00:28:46.140 --> 00:28:47.299
 you now have a charge

00:28:47.299 --> 00:28:48.000
 from your savior

00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:49.379
 you have a responsibility

00:28:49.379 --> 00:28:51.819
 as we work together

00:28:51.819 --> 00:28:53.019
 to go forth

00:28:53.019 --> 00:28:53.519
 to go ye

00:28:53.519 --> 00:28:54.500
 into all the world

00:28:54.500 --> 00:28:55.119
 and preach

00:28:55.119 --> 00:28:56.220
 the gospel

00:28:56.220 --> 00:28:57.259
 to every creature

00:28:57.259 --> 00:28:58.579
 because notice

00:28:58.579 --> 00:28:59.399
 the commission

00:28:59.399 --> 00:29:01.099
 and they went forth

00:29:01.099 --> 00:29:02.139
 the disciples

00:29:02.139 --> 00:29:03.259
 waited in Jerusalem

00:29:03.259 --> 00:29:04.000
 I want you to understand

00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:04.919
 until Pentecost

00:29:04.919 --> 00:29:06.480
 now Pentecost

00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:07.519
 comes 50 days

00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:08.279
 after the feast

00:29:08.279 --> 00:29:09.240
 of unleavened bread

00:29:09.240 --> 00:29:10.460
 and it's recorded

00:29:10.460 --> 00:29:11.319
 and that day

00:29:11.319 --> 00:29:11.899
 is recorded

00:29:11.899 --> 00:29:12.720
 in Acts 2

00:29:12.720 --> 00:29:13.740
 where the Holy Spirit

00:29:13.740 --> 00:29:15.359
 came and empowered

00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:16.639
 them for the task

00:29:16.640 --> 00:29:17.520
 that they were

00:29:17.520 --> 00:29:18.160
 going to go do

00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:19.660
 the Holy Spirit

00:29:19.660 --> 00:29:20.480
 was endowing them

00:29:20.480 --> 00:29:21.480
 with power

00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:22.500
 from on high

00:29:22.500 --> 00:29:23.800
 because we cannot

00:29:23.800 --> 00:29:24.900
 complete the task

00:29:24.900 --> 00:29:25.800
 God's given to us

00:29:25.800 --> 00:29:26.400
 without God

00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:27.340
 working with us

00:29:27.340 --> 00:29:29.680
 our task

00:29:29.680 --> 00:29:30.320
 is not just

00:29:30.320 --> 00:29:31.020
 our task

00:29:31.020 --> 00:29:32.520
 God says

00:29:32.520 --> 00:29:33.300
 I want you to work

00:29:33.300 --> 00:29:33.420
 me

00:29:33.420 --> 00:29:33.620
 he says

00:29:33.620 --> 00:29:34.259
 I'm not sending

00:29:34.259 --> 00:29:34.800
 you out there

00:29:34.800 --> 00:29:35.640
 just for the fun of it

00:29:35.640 --> 00:29:37.060
 I'm not sending

00:29:37.060 --> 00:29:37.500
 it out there

00:29:37.500 --> 00:29:38.200
 hoping you got

00:29:38.200 --> 00:29:38.880
 enough energy

00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:39.440
 in yourself

00:29:39.440 --> 00:29:40.340
 to accomplish it

00:29:40.340 --> 00:29:41.600
 he says

00:29:41.600 --> 00:29:42.440
 I want you to understand

00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:42.940
 I'm going to give

00:29:42.940 --> 00:29:43.700
 my spirit

00:29:43.700 --> 00:29:45.279
 that makes a difference

00:29:45.279 --> 00:29:46.360
 they went forth

00:29:46.360 --> 00:29:47.240
 under the authority

00:29:47.240 --> 00:29:47.880
 of Jesus

00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:48.620
 and the power

00:29:48.620 --> 00:29:49.539
 of the Holy Spirit

00:29:49.539 --> 00:29:50.980
 I want you to understand

00:29:50.980 --> 00:29:52.180
 the God himself

00:29:52.180 --> 00:29:53.819
 empowered the gospel

00:29:53.819 --> 00:29:55.460
 he is the one

00:29:55.460 --> 00:29:56.779
 I didn't just complete it

00:29:56.779 --> 00:29:58.059
 I empowered it

00:29:58.059 --> 00:29:58.819
 to go forth

00:29:58.819 --> 00:30:00.160
 throughout all the world

00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:01.100
 the gospel

00:30:01.100 --> 00:30:02.299
 of Jesus Christ

00:30:02.299 --> 00:30:04.059
 the one and only gospel

00:30:04.059 --> 00:30:05.160
 notice what it says

00:30:05.160 --> 00:30:06.059
 in Acts 1 8

00:30:06.059 --> 00:30:07.080
 but ye shall receive

00:30:07.080 --> 00:30:07.620
 power

00:30:07.620 --> 00:30:08.740
 after that the Holy Ghost

00:30:08.740 --> 00:30:09.660
 has come upon you

00:30:09.660 --> 00:30:11.160
 and ye shall be

00:30:11.160 --> 00:30:12.580
 witnesses unto me

00:30:12.579 --> 00:30:13.759
 as a believer

00:30:13.759 --> 00:30:14.579
 I want you to understand

00:30:14.579 --> 00:30:15.740
 God empowers you

00:30:15.740 --> 00:30:16.439
 to tell others

00:30:16.439 --> 00:30:17.419
 you say well preacher

00:30:17.419 --> 00:30:18.279
 that's kind of scary

00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:18.859
 you know what

00:30:18.859 --> 00:30:21.759
 the Holy Spirit

00:30:21.759 --> 00:30:22.419
 gives you

00:30:22.419 --> 00:30:23.379
 what you need

00:30:23.379 --> 00:30:25.259
 if you seek him

00:30:25.259 --> 00:30:25.599
 he says

00:30:25.599 --> 00:30:27.139
 I will give you all

00:30:27.139 --> 00:30:27.960
 it's already there

00:30:27.960 --> 00:30:28.859
 you know the good thing

00:30:28.859 --> 00:30:29.699
 I want you to understand

00:30:29.699 --> 00:30:30.559
 that if you're saved

00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:31.579
 you have all the power

00:30:31.579 --> 00:30:32.419
 you need to fulfill

00:30:32.419 --> 00:30:33.139
 everything God's

00:30:33.139 --> 00:30:33.720
 wanted you to do

00:30:33.720 --> 00:30:36.480
 the problem is

00:30:36.480 --> 00:30:37.199
 most of us

00:30:37.199 --> 00:30:39.759
 don't want it

00:30:39.759 --> 00:30:40.539
 because what God

00:30:40.539 --> 00:30:41.119
 asks us to do

00:30:41.119 --> 00:30:41.779
 sometimes makes us

00:30:41.779 --> 00:30:42.199
 uncomfortable

00:30:42.200 --> 00:30:43.140
 have you ever thought

00:30:43.140 --> 00:30:44.080
 how scary it is

00:30:44.080 --> 00:30:44.680
 to think about

00:30:44.680 --> 00:30:45.259
 these 12

00:30:45.259 --> 00:30:45.740
 who had never

00:30:45.740 --> 00:30:46.600
 traveled much

00:30:46.600 --> 00:30:47.539
 outside of about

00:30:47.539 --> 00:30:48.519
 100 miles of their

00:30:48.519 --> 00:30:48.799
 home

00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:51.480
 I doubt they even

00:30:51.480 --> 00:30:52.400
 made it 100 miles

00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:52.840
 from home

00:30:52.840 --> 00:30:53.940
 up to this point

00:30:53.940 --> 00:30:54.759
 and God looks

00:30:54.759 --> 00:30:55.680
 Jesus looks at them

00:30:55.680 --> 00:30:56.140
 and says you're

00:30:56.140 --> 00:30:56.640
 going to go now

00:30:56.640 --> 00:30:58.460
 to all the world

00:30:58.460 --> 00:30:59.420
 I imagine they had

00:30:59.420 --> 00:31:00.039
 some pretty bright

00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:00.600
 eyes looking

00:31:00.600 --> 00:31:03.100
 like what

00:31:03.100 --> 00:31:05.900
 you're asking us

00:31:05.900 --> 00:31:06.539
 to do what

00:31:06.539 --> 00:31:09.279
 you're instructing

00:31:09.279 --> 00:31:10.120
 us to do what

00:31:10.119 --> 00:31:11.799
 to go to all the world

00:31:11.799 --> 00:31:13.199
 and he's going to

00:31:13.199 --> 00:31:14.819
 empower us to do so

00:31:14.819 --> 00:31:15.979
 you know I want you

00:31:15.979 --> 00:31:16.599
 to understand

00:31:16.599 --> 00:31:17.719
 that after the day

00:31:17.719 --> 00:31:18.459
 of Pentecost

00:31:18.459 --> 00:31:19.719
 untold thousands

00:31:19.719 --> 00:31:20.859
 heard the good news

00:31:20.859 --> 00:31:22.579
 not only that day

00:31:22.579 --> 00:31:23.679
 but they continue

00:31:23.679 --> 00:31:24.259
 to hear

00:31:24.259 --> 00:31:26.319
 and throughout

00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:27.739
 their generation

00:31:27.739 --> 00:31:28.399
 all the way to

00:31:28.399 --> 00:31:29.199
 our generation

00:31:29.199 --> 00:31:30.779
 you know I want you

00:31:30.779 --> 00:31:31.219
 to understand

00:31:31.219 --> 00:31:31.899
 we're here today

00:31:31.899 --> 00:31:32.539
 because of what

00:31:32.539 --> 00:31:33.039
 happened

00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:35.359
 because Jesus

00:31:35.359 --> 00:31:36.480
 died on the cross

00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:37.639
 he was buried

00:31:37.639 --> 00:31:38.940
 he rose again

00:31:38.940 --> 00:31:40.940
 he went to glory

00:31:40.940 --> 00:31:41.759
 the Holy Spirit

00:31:41.759 --> 00:31:42.299
 came

00:31:42.299 --> 00:31:44.339
 and empowered

00:31:44.339 --> 00:31:45.500
 his gospel

00:31:45.500 --> 00:31:45.980
 the truth

00:31:45.980 --> 00:31:46.779
 to go forth

00:31:46.779 --> 00:31:47.500
 to everybody

00:31:47.500 --> 00:31:48.039
 have you ever

00:31:48.039 --> 00:31:48.500
 stopped and said

00:31:48.500 --> 00:31:50.319
 we are the product

00:31:50.319 --> 00:31:51.500
 of what took place

00:31:51.500 --> 00:31:54.000
 if you're saved

00:31:54.000 --> 00:31:54.519
 it's because

00:31:54.519 --> 00:31:55.379
 somebody took

00:31:55.379 --> 00:31:56.259
 the gospel to you

00:31:56.259 --> 00:31:58.079
 you're saved

00:31:58.079 --> 00:31:58.740
 because somebody

00:31:58.740 --> 00:31:59.440
 took the gospel

00:31:59.440 --> 00:32:00.279
 to somebody else

00:32:00.279 --> 00:32:01.839
 you're saved

00:32:01.839 --> 00:32:02.720
 because that somebody

00:32:02.720 --> 00:32:03.500
 that took the gospel

00:32:03.500 --> 00:32:04.039
 to you

00:32:04.039 --> 00:32:05.159
 that they got

00:32:05.159 --> 00:32:06.059
 from somebody else

00:32:06.059 --> 00:32:07.159
 got shared

00:32:07.159 --> 00:32:08.099
 from somebody else

00:32:08.099 --> 00:32:08.919
 now you might not

00:32:08.919 --> 00:32:09.679
 be able to assemble

00:32:09.679 --> 00:32:10.279
 the tree

00:32:10.279 --> 00:32:11.720
 of where the gospel

00:32:11.720 --> 00:32:12.859
 you heard came from

00:32:12.859 --> 00:32:15.079
 but I guarantee you

00:32:15.079 --> 00:32:15.899
 there's untold

00:32:15.899 --> 00:32:17.439
 thousands and millions

00:32:17.439 --> 00:32:17.980
 of people

00:32:17.980 --> 00:32:18.579
 who have shared

00:32:18.579 --> 00:32:19.199
 the gospel

00:32:19.199 --> 00:32:20.179
 throughout generations

00:32:20.179 --> 00:32:21.019
 that led to you

00:32:21.019 --> 00:32:21.720
 and I being able

00:32:21.720 --> 00:32:22.199
 to know

00:32:22.199 --> 00:32:23.779
 who Jesus Christ is

00:32:23.779 --> 00:32:24.500
 how did they

00:32:24.500 --> 00:32:25.459
 accomplish that

00:32:25.459 --> 00:32:27.879
 the power of the Holy Spirit

00:32:27.879 --> 00:32:28.599
 in their lives

00:32:28.599 --> 00:32:30.279
 to say this is what

00:32:30.279 --> 00:32:31.139
 God would have

00:32:31.140 --> 00:32:32.480
 the untold thousands

00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:33.380
 matter of fact

00:32:33.380 --> 00:32:34.780
 look at Acts chapter 17

00:32:34.780 --> 00:32:36.280
 as they begin

00:32:36.280 --> 00:32:37.500
 into this generation

00:32:37.500 --> 00:32:38.680
 there notice

00:32:38.680 --> 00:32:39.540
 what happens here

00:32:39.540 --> 00:32:40.320
 is when they found

00:32:40.320 --> 00:32:40.900
 them not

00:32:40.900 --> 00:32:42.120
 they drew Jason

00:32:42.120 --> 00:32:42.820
 the certain brethren

00:32:42.820 --> 00:32:43.460
 into the rulers

00:32:43.460 --> 00:32:44.080
 of the city

00:32:44.080 --> 00:32:45.120
 and notice their

00:32:45.120 --> 00:32:46.020
 accusation

00:32:46.020 --> 00:32:47.660
 these that have

00:32:47.660 --> 00:32:48.600
 turned the world

00:32:48.600 --> 00:32:49.780
 upside down

00:32:49.780 --> 00:32:50.980
 are come hither also

00:32:50.980 --> 00:32:52.120
 in less

00:32:52.120 --> 00:32:54.400
 than their lifetimes

00:32:54.400 --> 00:32:56.860
 by the power

00:32:56.860 --> 00:32:58.200
 of the gospel

00:32:58.200 --> 00:32:59.020
 being equipped

00:32:59.019 --> 00:32:59.839
 with the power

00:32:59.839 --> 00:33:01.220
 of the Holy Spirit

00:33:01.220 --> 00:33:02.400
 they turned the world

00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:03.619
 upside down

00:33:03.619 --> 00:33:05.759
 now I want you

00:33:05.759 --> 00:33:05.960
 to hear that

00:33:05.960 --> 00:33:06.740
 that means it shook

00:33:06.740 --> 00:33:07.639
 everything that was

00:33:07.639 --> 00:33:08.019
 happening

00:33:08.019 --> 00:33:10.259
 it altered culture

00:33:10.259 --> 00:33:11.819
 it altered the way

00:33:11.819 --> 00:33:13.079
 people reacted

00:33:13.079 --> 00:33:14.680
 it altered the dynamic

00:33:14.680 --> 00:33:15.400
 of everything

00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:15.799
 why?

00:33:15.960 --> 00:33:16.680
 because it altered

00:33:16.680 --> 00:33:17.539
 our relationship

00:33:17.539 --> 00:33:18.579
 with the living God

00:33:18.579 --> 00:33:21.339
 when you're changed

00:33:21.339 --> 00:33:22.480
 by the gospel of Christ

00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:23.339
 you're changed

00:33:23.339 --> 00:33:25.639
 there's a distinction

00:33:25.639 --> 00:33:26.619
 there's a difference

00:33:26.619 --> 00:33:27.739
 how did this happen?

00:33:27.879 --> 00:33:29.079
 simply by sharing

00:33:29.079 --> 00:33:30.399
 the gospel

00:33:30.399 --> 00:33:32.339
 Mark 16 15

00:33:32.339 --> 00:33:33.039
 look back up there

00:33:33.039 --> 00:33:34.299
 go ye into all the world

00:33:34.299 --> 00:33:35.239
 and preach

00:33:35.239 --> 00:33:36.339
 the gospel

00:33:36.339 --> 00:33:37.839
 you know look here again

00:33:37.839 --> 00:33:38.619
 at verse 20

00:33:38.619 --> 00:33:39.619
 in our text

00:33:39.619 --> 00:33:39.939
 it says

00:33:39.939 --> 00:33:40.939
 and they went forth

00:33:40.939 --> 00:33:41.679
 and did what?

00:33:42.819 --> 00:33:43.299
 preached

00:33:43.299 --> 00:33:45.819
 everywhere

00:33:45.819 --> 00:33:47.279
 what were they preaching?

00:33:47.399 --> 00:33:47.959
 they were preaching

00:33:47.959 --> 00:33:48.639
 the gospel

00:33:48.639 --> 00:33:49.719
 of Jesus Christ

00:33:49.719 --> 00:33:52.959
 they were letting people know

00:33:52.959 --> 00:33:53.799
 that understand

00:33:53.799 --> 00:33:54.559
 of the gospel

00:33:54.559 --> 00:33:56.259
 you know it's the gospel

00:33:56.259 --> 00:33:56.980
 starts

00:33:56.980 --> 00:33:58.839
 with the fact

00:33:58.839 --> 00:33:59.579
 you have to understand

00:33:59.579 --> 00:34:00.799
 where you are with God

00:34:00.799 --> 00:34:03.419
 like I said earlier

00:34:03.419 --> 00:34:04.359
 if you don't realize

00:34:04.359 --> 00:34:05.220
 that you're separated

00:34:05.220 --> 00:34:05.700
 from God

00:34:05.700 --> 00:34:06.359
 we have a lot of people

00:34:06.359 --> 00:34:07.059
 today that don't think

00:34:07.059 --> 00:34:07.639
 they have that bad

00:34:07.639 --> 00:34:08.420
 of a problem with God

00:34:08.420 --> 00:34:09.759
 you talk to them

00:34:09.759 --> 00:34:10.000
 they'll say

00:34:10.000 --> 00:34:11.099
 I'm just fine

00:34:11.099 --> 00:34:11.820
 you know we had some

00:34:11.820 --> 00:34:12.340
 this week

00:34:12.340 --> 00:34:13.000
 as we're out talking

00:34:13.000 --> 00:34:13.599
 in the neighborhood

00:34:13.599 --> 00:34:14.460
 I'm just fine

00:34:14.460 --> 00:34:16.860
 I don't need God

00:34:16.860 --> 00:34:18.340
 or I'm okay

00:34:18.340 --> 00:34:19.179
 with my God

00:34:19.179 --> 00:34:20.440
 but until they realize

00:34:20.440 --> 00:34:22.039
 what Jesus did for them

00:34:22.039 --> 00:34:23.299
 but they're not going

00:34:23.300 --> 00:34:24.080
 to know unless somebody

00:34:24.080 --> 00:34:24.980
 tells them

00:34:24.980 --> 00:34:27.080
 unless somebody engages them

00:34:27.080 --> 00:34:27.720
 the gospel

00:34:27.720 --> 00:34:28.940
 to go forth

00:34:28.940 --> 00:34:29.740
 is engagement

00:34:29.740 --> 00:34:30.900
 I want you to understand

00:34:30.900 --> 00:34:31.760
 there's many ways

00:34:31.760 --> 00:34:32.720
 we can engage

00:34:32.720 --> 00:34:34.039
 with the gospel

00:34:34.039 --> 00:34:35.039
 you know we have

00:34:35.039 --> 00:34:35.539
 tracks

00:34:35.539 --> 00:34:36.240
 you have verbal

00:34:36.240 --> 00:34:37.280
 you have all sorts

00:34:37.280 --> 00:34:37.980
 of social media

00:34:37.980 --> 00:34:39.220
 I mean things are

00:34:39.220 --> 00:34:40.120
 endless of ways

00:34:40.120 --> 00:34:41.100
 of letting people

00:34:41.100 --> 00:34:42.260
 understand the gospel

00:34:42.260 --> 00:34:43.580
 where they are with God

00:34:43.580 --> 00:34:45.080
 and then what Jesus did

00:34:45.080 --> 00:34:45.580
 because you know

00:34:45.580 --> 00:34:46.340
 what Jesus did

00:34:46.340 --> 00:34:47.060
 makes no sense

00:34:47.060 --> 00:34:47.800
 if you don't realize

00:34:47.800 --> 00:34:48.519
 where you are

00:34:48.519 --> 00:34:50.740
 if you don't realize

00:34:50.740 --> 00:34:51.360
 you're a sinner

00:34:51.360 --> 00:34:54.120
 oh that's nice

00:34:54.120 --> 00:34:55.140
 that Jesus did that

00:34:55.140 --> 00:34:57.480
 that was good of him

00:34:57.480 --> 00:34:58.300
 and they look at it

00:34:58.300 --> 00:34:58.800
 and say I really

00:34:58.800 --> 00:34:59.559
 don't need that

00:34:59.559 --> 00:35:00.500
 but when you realize

00:35:00.500 --> 00:35:01.140
 you're a sinner

00:35:01.140 --> 00:35:02.000
 and the Bible says

00:35:02.000 --> 00:35:03.019
 that we are condemned

00:35:03.019 --> 00:35:05.500
 on our way to hell

00:35:05.500 --> 00:35:06.280
 but there's one

00:35:06.280 --> 00:35:07.120
 who came to rescue

00:35:07.120 --> 00:35:08.220
 that made a way

00:35:08.220 --> 00:35:09.340
 you know we preach

00:35:09.340 --> 00:35:11.079
 the gospel of Jesus Christ

00:35:11.079 --> 00:35:11.480
 you know look over

00:35:11.480 --> 00:35:12.460
 to Acts chapter 20

00:35:12.460 --> 00:35:13.039
 for a moment

00:35:13.039 --> 00:35:15.340
 Acts chapter 20

00:35:15.340 --> 00:35:16.120
 and we find here

00:35:16.120 --> 00:35:16.860
 in Acts 20

00:35:16.860 --> 00:35:18.680
 is recorded for us

00:35:18.680 --> 00:35:20.720
 part of that message

00:35:20.720 --> 00:35:21.820
 that went forth

00:35:21.820 --> 00:35:22.660
 and notice here

00:35:22.660 --> 00:35:24.200
 and this the apostle Paul

00:35:24.200 --> 00:35:24.960
 says how I kept

00:35:24.960 --> 00:35:26.220
 nothing that was

00:35:26.220 --> 00:35:27.380
 profitable unto you

00:35:27.380 --> 00:35:28.380
 but have showed you

00:35:28.380 --> 00:35:29.599
 and have taught you

00:35:29.599 --> 00:35:30.420
 publicly and from

00:35:30.420 --> 00:35:31.280
 house to house

00:35:31.280 --> 00:35:32.800
 testifying both

00:35:32.800 --> 00:35:33.519
 to the Jews

00:35:33.519 --> 00:35:34.940
 and also the Greeks

00:35:34.940 --> 00:35:36.340
 what did he testify

00:35:36.340 --> 00:35:38.579
 repentance towards God

00:35:38.579 --> 00:35:40.140
 and faith towards

00:35:40.140 --> 00:35:41.579
 our Lord Jesus Christ

00:35:41.579 --> 00:35:43.220
 repentance and faith

00:35:43.220 --> 00:35:45.200
 it's not our job

00:35:45.199 --> 00:35:46.199
 to save anyone

00:35:46.199 --> 00:35:47.480
 it's our task

00:35:47.480 --> 00:35:48.159
 to let them know

00:35:48.159 --> 00:35:48.879
 there's a Savior

00:35:48.879 --> 00:35:50.299
 you know that's the

00:35:50.299 --> 00:35:50.699
 other thing I think

00:35:50.699 --> 00:35:51.460
 sometimes gets us

00:35:51.460 --> 00:35:52.079
 scared of sharing

00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:52.539
 the gospel

00:35:52.539 --> 00:35:53.119
 well what if they

00:35:53.119 --> 00:35:53.599
 reject

00:35:53.599 --> 00:35:54.359
 well that's not

00:35:54.359 --> 00:35:56.639
 not your job

00:35:56.639 --> 00:35:57.399
 to make them accept

00:35:57.399 --> 00:35:59.219
 you know the reality

00:35:59.219 --> 00:36:00.219
 is somebody convinced

00:36:00.219 --> 00:36:01.079
 against their will

00:36:01.079 --> 00:36:02.059
 is of the same opinion

00:36:02.059 --> 00:36:02.460
 still

00:36:02.460 --> 00:36:04.919
 you know you can

00:36:04.919 --> 00:36:05.899
 strong arm somebody

00:36:05.899 --> 00:36:06.659
 into doing something

00:36:06.659 --> 00:36:07.359
 but that doesn't mean

00:36:07.359 --> 00:36:08.000
 their thought about

00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:08.460
 it changed

00:36:08.460 --> 00:36:11.359
 you know you can

00:36:11.359 --> 00:36:12.819
 make kids behave

00:36:12.819 --> 00:36:13.599
 but they'll sit there

00:36:13.599 --> 00:36:14.199
 and in their mind

00:36:14.199 --> 00:36:14.939
 they're not behaving

00:36:14.940 --> 00:36:15.880
 you can make a kid

00:36:15.880 --> 00:36:16.900
 behave on the outside

00:36:16.900 --> 00:36:17.740
 but on the inside

00:36:17.740 --> 00:36:18.599
 they're rebellious

00:36:18.599 --> 00:36:20.460
 you know what the

00:36:20.460 --> 00:36:21.500
 same reality is with God

00:36:21.500 --> 00:36:22.240
 people can clean

00:36:22.240 --> 00:36:22.900
 themselves up

00:36:22.900 --> 00:36:23.740
 make themselves look

00:36:23.740 --> 00:36:24.840
 good to everybody

00:36:24.840 --> 00:36:25.599
 else around them

00:36:25.599 --> 00:36:26.360
 but on the inside

00:36:26.360 --> 00:36:27.079
 God says there's

00:36:27.079 --> 00:36:27.700
 still a problem

00:36:27.700 --> 00:36:28.539
 you're a rebellious

00:36:28.539 --> 00:36:29.420
 sinner that has

00:36:29.420 --> 00:36:30.400
 rejected the truth

00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:31.139
 of God's word

00:36:31.139 --> 00:36:32.000
 now I want you to

00:36:32.000 --> 00:36:32.860
 see here this morning

00:36:32.860 --> 00:36:33.679
 as they sent them

00:36:33.679 --> 00:36:34.099
 forth

00:36:34.099 --> 00:36:35.539
 notice here in verse

00:36:35.539 --> 00:36:36.280
 20 again

00:36:36.280 --> 00:36:37.159
 and he says

00:36:37.159 --> 00:36:38.280
 and they went forth

00:36:38.280 --> 00:36:39.780
 he sent them

00:36:39.780 --> 00:36:40.539
 and they went

00:36:40.539 --> 00:36:41.700
 and they preached

00:36:41.700 --> 00:36:42.220
 everywhere

00:36:42.219 --> 00:36:43.579
 now this next part

00:36:43.579 --> 00:36:44.119
 is important

00:36:44.119 --> 00:36:45.199
 for this whole

00:36:45.199 --> 00:36:45.859
 thing because

00:36:45.859 --> 00:36:46.419
 the Lord

00:36:46.419 --> 00:36:46.759
 what

00:36:46.759 --> 00:36:47.299
 working

00:36:47.299 --> 00:36:49.419
 with them

00:36:49.419 --> 00:36:51.859
 the co-laboring

00:36:51.859 --> 00:36:53.379
 you know they had

00:36:53.379 --> 00:36:53.939
 a commission

00:36:53.939 --> 00:36:54.619
 but they also

00:36:54.619 --> 00:36:55.159
 I want you to

00:36:55.159 --> 00:36:55.339
 understand

00:36:55.339 --> 00:36:56.579
 they had a co-laborer

00:36:56.579 --> 00:36:58.339
 the Lord doesn't

00:36:58.339 --> 00:36:59.119
 send us forth

00:36:59.119 --> 00:37:00.179
 to do his job

00:37:00.179 --> 00:37:00.879
 without working

00:37:00.879 --> 00:37:01.419
 with us

00:37:01.419 --> 00:37:03.739
 he is there

00:37:03.739 --> 00:37:04.480
 with us

00:37:04.480 --> 00:37:05.239
 working

00:37:05.239 --> 00:37:06.059
 we are his

00:37:06.059 --> 00:37:06.839
 co-labor

00:37:06.839 --> 00:37:07.779
 the Lord

00:37:07.779 --> 00:37:08.379
 working

00:37:08.379 --> 00:37:09.179
 with them

00:37:09.179 --> 00:37:09.539
 the Lord

00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:10.119
 continues

00:37:10.119 --> 00:37:10.739
 to work

00:37:10.739 --> 00:37:11.539
 with us

00:37:11.539 --> 00:37:11.859
 in our

00:37:11.859 --> 00:37:12.319
 task

00:37:12.319 --> 00:37:12.819
 it's his

00:37:12.819 --> 00:37:13.259
 work

00:37:13.259 --> 00:37:13.879
 and we

00:37:13.879 --> 00:37:14.279
 get to

00:37:14.279 --> 00:37:14.599
 labor

00:37:14.599 --> 00:37:15.199
 alongside

00:37:15.199 --> 00:37:15.759
 look over

00:37:15.759 --> 00:37:16.419
 to 1 Corinthians

00:37:16.419 --> 00:37:17.259
 chapter 3

00:37:17.259 --> 00:37:18.539
 1 Corinthians

00:37:18.539 --> 00:37:19.279
 chapter 3

00:37:19.279 --> 00:37:20.019
 in verse 9

00:37:20.019 --> 00:37:20.759
 it says this

00:37:20.759 --> 00:37:21.539
 for we are

00:37:21.539 --> 00:37:22.379
 laborers

00:37:22.379 --> 00:37:22.859
 together

00:37:22.859 --> 00:37:23.719
 with God

00:37:23.719 --> 00:37:25.239
 ye are

00:37:25.239 --> 00:37:25.639
 God's

00:37:25.639 --> 00:37:26.219
 husbandry

00:37:26.219 --> 00:37:26.559
 ye are

00:37:26.559 --> 00:37:26.980
 God's

00:37:26.980 --> 00:37:27.579
 building

00:37:27.579 --> 00:37:28.419
 now I want you

00:37:28.419 --> 00:37:28.940
 to understand

00:37:28.940 --> 00:37:29.299
 we are

00:37:29.299 --> 00:37:29.919
 laborers

00:37:29.919 --> 00:37:30.359
 together

00:37:30.359 --> 00:37:30.919
 with God

00:37:30.919 --> 00:37:31.500
 God doesn't

00:37:31.500 --> 00:37:31.899
 send us

00:37:31.899 --> 00:37:32.119
 out

00:37:32.119 --> 00:37:33.460
 to die

00:37:33.460 --> 00:37:33.839
 on a hill

00:37:33.839 --> 00:37:34.559
 by ourselves

00:37:34.559 --> 00:37:35.019
 he says

00:37:35.019 --> 00:37:36.699
 I'm with

00:37:36.699 --> 00:37:36.960
 you

00:37:36.960 --> 00:37:38.639
 and you

00:37:38.639 --> 00:37:38.980
 do it

00:37:38.980 --> 00:37:39.179
 through

00:37:39.179 --> 00:37:39.699
 God's

00:37:40.760 --> 00:37:41.099
 always

00:37:41.099 --> 00:37:41.559
 involves

00:37:41.559 --> 00:37:41.940
 a local

00:37:41.940 --> 00:37:42.380
 church

00:37:42.380 --> 00:37:45.820
 God's

00:37:45.820 --> 00:37:46.220
 plan

00:37:46.220 --> 00:37:46.440
 is

00:37:46.440 --> 00:37:47.280
 many

00:37:47.280 --> 00:37:47.900
 things

00:37:47.900 --> 00:37:48.099
 that we

 want you

00:37:49.960 --> 00:37:50.559

00:37:50.559 --> 00:37:51.460
 how is it

00:37:51.460 --> 00:37:52.019
 possible

 our

00:37:53.599 --> 00:37:54.280
 intercessor

00:37:54.280 --> 00:37:54.800
 how is he

00:37:54.800 --> 00:37:55.119
 working

00:37:55.119 --> 00:37:55.599
 with us

00:37:55.599 --> 00:37:56.159
 he's

00:37:56.159 --> 00:37:56.500
 the one

00:37:56.500 --> 00:37:56.920

00:37:56.920 --> 00:37:57.179
 he's

00:37:58.539 --> 00:37:59.119
 he's

00:37:59.119 --> 00:37:59.480
 the one

00:37:59.480 --> 00:37:59.720
 that's

00:37:59.720 --> 00:38:00.280
 making

00:38:00.280 --> 00:38:01.039
 intercession

00:38:01.039 --> 00:38:01.679

00:38:03.059 --> 00:38:03.480
 there

00:38:03.480 --> 00:38:04.280
 on our

00:38:04.280 --> 00:38:04.820
 side

00:38:04.820 --> 00:38:05.340
 he is

00:38:05.340 --> 00:38:05.720
 the one

00:38:05.720 --> 00:38:05.920
 that

00:38:05.920 --> 00:38:06.720
 intercedes

00:38:06.719 --> 00:38:07.659
 for us

00:38:07.659 --> 00:38:08.079
 on our

00:38:08.079 --> 00:38:08.659
 behalf

00:38:08.659 --> 00:38:09.959
 and he

00:38:09.959 --> 00:38:10.259
 is the

00:38:10.259 --> 00:38:10.519
 one

00:38:10.519 --> 00:38:10.719
 there

00:38:10.719 --> 00:38:11.139
 with the

00:38:11.139 --> 00:38:11.459
 father

00:38:11.459 --> 00:38:12.019
 that's

00:38:12.019 --> 00:38:12.319
 one

00:38:12.319 --> 00:38:13.099
 the one

00:38:13.099 --> 00:38:13.799
 that steps

00:38:13.799 --> 00:38:14.419
 in

00:38:14.419 --> 00:38:14.779
 when we

00:38:14.779 --> 00:38:15.139
 don't know

00:38:15.139 --> 00:38:15.599
 what else

00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:15.980
 to do

00:38:15.980 --> 00:38:16.279
 I mean

00:38:16.279 --> 00:38:16.619
 sometimes

00:38:16.619 --> 00:38:17.000
 God

00:38:17.000 --> 00:38:17.539
 just makes

00:38:17.539 --> 00:38:17.959
 himself

00:38:17.959 --> 00:38:18.339
 mighty

00:38:18.339 --> 00:38:18.599
 says

00:38:18.599 --> 00:38:18.819
 Lord

00:38:18.819 --> 00:38:19.099
 I don't

00:38:19.099 --> 00:38:19.219
 know

00:38:19.219 --> 00:38:19.359
 what

00:38:19.359 --> 00:38:19.699
 to do

00:38:19.699 --> 00:38:20.459
 and God

00:38:20.459 --> 00:38:21.219
 shows up

00:38:21.219 --> 00:38:21.699
 that's

00:38:21.699 --> 00:38:22.039
 the term

00:38:22.039 --> 00:38:22.500
 we use

00:38:22.500 --> 00:38:22.719
 but you

00:38:22.719 --> 00:38:23.000
 know what

00:38:23.000 --> 00:38:23.239
 God

00:38:23.239 --> 00:38:23.659
 was already

00:38:23.659 --> 00:38:23.899
 there

00:38:23.899 --> 00:38:24.199
 God

00:38:24.199 --> 00:38:24.559
 just said

00:38:24.559 --> 00:38:24.719
 I'm

00:38:24.719 --> 00:38:24.859
 going to

00:38:24.859 --> 00:38:25.019
 take

00:38:25.019 --> 00:38:25.439
 action

00:38:25.439 --> 00:38:25.879
 it's

00:38:25.879 --> 00:38:26.000
 just

00:38:26.000 --> 00:38:26.299
 that now

00:38:26.299 --> 00:38:26.799
 we see

00:38:26.799 --> 00:38:27.099
 God

00:38:27.099 --> 00:38:27.399
 taking

00:38:27.399 --> 00:38:27.799
 action

00:38:27.799 --> 00:38:29.319
 you know

00:38:29.319 --> 00:38:29.519
 that's

00:38:29.519 --> 00:38:29.799
 sometimes

00:38:29.799 --> 00:38:30.019
 our

00:38:30.019 --> 00:38:30.339
 problem

00:38:30.339 --> 00:38:30.659
 we don't

00:38:30.659 --> 00:38:31.159
 really see

00:38:31.159 --> 00:38:31.279
 it

00:38:31.280 --> 00:38:31.540
 so we

00:38:31.540 --> 00:38:31.700
 don't

00:38:31.700 --> 00:38:31.860
 say

00:38:31.860 --> 00:38:31.980
 it

00:38:31.980 --> 00:38:32.140
 must

00:38:32.140 --> 00:38:32.340
 not

00:38:32.340 --> 00:38:32.519
 be

00:38:32.519 --> 00:38:32.860
 so

00:38:32.860 --> 00:38:33.300
 I

00:38:33.300 --> 00:38:33.480
 want

00:38:33.480 --> 00:38:33.580
 you

00:38:33.580 --> 00:38:33.640
 to

00:38:33.640 --> 00:38:34.019
 understand

00:38:34.019 --> 00:38:34.340
 when you

00:38:34.340 --> 00:38:34.620
 trust

00:38:34.620 --> 00:38:34.920
 God

00:38:34.920 --> 00:38:35.200
 God

00:38:35.200 --> 00:38:35.460
 does

00:38:35.460 --> 00:38:35.800
 mighty

00:38:35.800 --> 00:38:36.420
 things

00:38:36.420 --> 00:38:37.420
 we are

00:38:38.480 --> 00:38:38.820

 can

00:40:41.420 --> 00:40:41.860
 look

00:40:41.860 --> 00:40:42.000
 at

 God's

00:40:42.420 --> 00:40:42.619

 but

00:40:44.019 --> 00:40:44.460
 notice

00:40:44.460 --> 00:40:44.960
 in

00:40:44.960 --> 00:40:45.100
 the

 days

00:40:45.420 --> 00:40:45.539
 of

00:40:46.700 --> 00:40:47.039
 wasn't

00:40:47.039 --> 00:40:47.360

00:40:48.920 --> 00:40:49.120
 live

00:40:49.120 --> 00:40:49.220
 in

00:40:49.220 --> 00:40:49.559
 a

00:40:49.559 --> 00:40:50.220

00:40:50.220 --> 00:40:50.440
 that

00:40:50.440 --> 00:40:50.579
 we're

00:40:50.579 --> 00:40:50.840
 really

00:40:50.840 --> 00:40:51.300
 spoiled

 I

00:40:55.019 --> 00:40:55.140

00:40:55.140 --> 00:40:55.280
 you

00:40:55.280 --> 00:40:55.460
 think

00:40:55.460 --> 00:40:55.640
 about

 you

00:40:56.920 --> 00:40:57.120
 probably

00:40:57.120 --> 00:40:57.280
 don't

00:40:57.280 --> 00:40:57.460
