00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.480
 You are listening to a message from Southwood Presbyterian Church in Huntsville, Alabama.

00:00:06.980 --> 00:00:10.620
 Our passion is to experience and express grace. Join us.

00:00:13.280 --> 00:00:15.120
 I'm going to ask you all to bear with me this morning.

00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:18.420
 Will just brought me the sheet of what I'm supposed to say,

00:00:18.620 --> 00:00:21.140
 so I didn't have a chance to review it before he wrote it for me.

00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:26.719
 If you have a Bible, open it to Luke chapter 5.

00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:31.359
 We're going to be back in Luke this morning after the helpful sermon last week,

00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:33.899
 the recap from Will of Daniel.

00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:36.079
 It helped to settle my heart.

00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:42.340
 I hope to settle some of your hearts as well, going into the election time last week.

00:00:44.019 --> 00:00:45.780
 Feeling a little weighed down this morning,

00:00:45.980 --> 00:00:49.299
 and I can't help but be impacted by the beginning of this service

00:00:49.299 --> 00:00:51.640
 in a way I'd like to suggest for you to be impacted,

00:00:51.879 --> 00:00:54.700
 because I think that it helps us look through this passage today.

00:00:54.700 --> 00:01:00.840
 And this has just kind of been an overwhelming idea of the glory of Christ

00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:02.780
 and how big he is.

00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:07.400
 And that's a lot of what this passage has to speak about today.

00:01:08.219 --> 00:01:12.760
 The glory of Jesus, the wonder of his eternal kingdom,

00:01:13.300 --> 00:01:15.960
 the action of our loving Father throughout history,

00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:22.400
 actual things that have happened to assure our salvation to us,

00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:24.660
 his redemption of all of creation.

00:01:24.859 --> 00:01:28.359
 I mean, this is big stuff, and this is what Luke is on about.

00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:32.600
 So as we get back into it, I hope that our eyes are that big,

00:01:33.240 --> 00:01:38.840
 and I hope that our hearts are open to hear what Dr. Luke tells us today.

00:01:39.240 --> 00:01:42.380
 And we'll start in chapter 5 with verse 1,

00:01:42.420 --> 00:01:44.160
 and we'll read all the way down through verse 16.

00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:49.780
 On one occasion, while the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of God,

00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:51.619
 he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret,

00:01:52.299 --> 00:01:54.099
 and he saw two boats by the lake,

00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:56.399
 but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets.

00:01:56.920 --> 00:01:59.000
 So he got into one of the boats, which was Simon's,

00:01:59.500 --> 00:02:01.400
 and he asked them to put out a little on the land,

00:02:02.019 --> 00:02:03.979
 and he sat down and taught the people from the boat.

00:02:05.060 --> 00:02:06.979
 And when he'd finished speaking, he said to Simon,

00:02:07.299 --> 00:02:09.979
 hey, go put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.

00:02:09.979 --> 00:02:11.639
 And Simon answered him,

00:02:12.340 --> 00:02:14.840
 Master, we've toiled all night and took nothing,

00:02:15.659 --> 00:02:18.919
 but at your word, I'll go and let down the nets.

00:02:19.979 --> 00:02:22.479
 When they'd done this, they enclosed a large number of fish,

00:02:22.539 --> 00:02:23.500
 and their nets were breaking.

00:02:24.219 --> 00:02:26.979
 They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them,

00:02:27.239 --> 00:02:30.639
 and they came and they filled both of the boats so that they began to sink.

00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:34.579
 And when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying,

00:02:34.679 --> 00:02:37.799
 Depart from me, for I'm a sinful man, O Lord.

00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:42.460
 For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish that they'd taken.

00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:47.760
 And also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon.

00:02:48.540 --> 00:02:50.420
 And Jesus said to Simon, don't be afraid.

00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:52.120
 From now on, you'll be catching men.

00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:55.060
 And when they'd brought their boats to the land,

00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:57.939
 they left everything and followed him.

00:02:59.020 --> 00:03:01.960
 And while he was in one of the cities, there came a man full of leprosy.

00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:05.140
 When he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and begged him,

00:03:05.139 --> 00:03:08.019
 Lord, if you will, you can make me clean.

00:03:08.739 --> 00:03:11.519
 And Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying,

00:03:11.939 --> 00:03:13.819
 I will be clean.

00:03:14.699 --> 00:03:16.559
 And immediately the leprosy left him.

00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:18.979
 And he charged him to tell no one,

00:03:19.859 --> 00:03:21.459
 but go show yourself to the priest

00:03:21.459 --> 00:03:25.019
 and make an offering for your cleansing as Moses commanded for a proof to them.

00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:28.679
 But now, even more, the report about him went abroad,

00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:31.379
 and great crowds gathered to hear him

00:03:31.379 --> 00:03:33.519
 and to be healed of their infirmities.

00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:37.680
 But he would withdraw to desolate places and pray.

00:03:38.320 --> 00:03:38.840
 Let's pray.

00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:48.939
 God, we're overwhelmed with the reality of your grace through your son, Jesus.

00:03:48.939 --> 00:03:56.120
 We pondered David earlier and his great sins against you

00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:59.900
 and against the kingdom of Israel and against Bathsheba and against Uriah.

00:04:02.379 --> 00:04:07.300
 And we identify with the weight of who we are,

00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:09.759
 the weight of what we bring to the table.

00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:16.899
 And Jesus came to this earth to make our eyes big

00:04:16.899 --> 00:04:21.839
 at the amount of grace you've shown throughout all of history,

00:04:22.039 --> 00:04:23.680
 chasing down your people,

00:04:24.860 --> 00:04:26.500
 chasing down your creation,

00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:29.000
 bringing it back to yourself.

00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:32.480
 So as we go through this text,

00:04:32.579 --> 00:04:34.540
 I pray that the words of my mouth,

00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:37.439
 the meditations of all of our hearts,

00:04:37.500 --> 00:04:38.759
 will be pleasing unto you.

00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:42.600
 And that we will know something more

00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:44.920
 of how much you love us

00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:48.240
 and how much grace we indeed receive

00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:49.480
 through your son, Jesus.

00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:52.199
 We pray this in his name

00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:53.699
 and for the sake of his kingdom.

00:04:53.699 --> 00:04:54.300
 Amen.

00:05:00.099 --> 00:05:01.959
 Anything interesting happen to you guys this week?

00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:06.180
 Anybody have anything maybe on Monday or Tuesday

00:05:06.180 --> 00:05:08.099
 that was impactful,

00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:10.019
 that caused you some trepidation

00:05:10.019 --> 00:05:11.699
 or some excitement or anything like that?

00:05:12.379 --> 00:05:13.199
 I'll share a story.

00:05:14.939 --> 00:05:15.980
 On Tuesday,

00:05:17.060 --> 00:05:19.219
 there's this big thing that happens

00:05:19.219 --> 00:05:20.219
 every once in a while.

00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:22.439
 It's our session meeting.

00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:29.000
 And I was so touched

00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:31.379
 by the men that lead this church.

00:05:32.100 --> 00:05:34.779
 Not just Will and sometimes Ron,

00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:39.259
 but the feeling in that room

00:05:39.259 --> 00:05:41.899
 of men who were broken

00:05:41.899 --> 00:05:45.399
 for the cause of Christ in the world,

00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:49.139
 for the name of our God

00:05:49.139 --> 00:05:51.120
 to be represented well.

00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:54.079
 And starting from that point,

00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:55.899
 not from a point of

00:05:55.899 --> 00:05:59.120
 any kind of self-gratification

00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:00.060
 or glorification,

00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:02.840
 that just shaped me

00:06:02.840 --> 00:06:03.819
 for the rest of the week.

00:06:05.019 --> 00:06:05.860
 And so,

00:06:06.740 --> 00:06:07.819
 I've had a pretty good week

00:06:07.819 --> 00:06:08.420
 in that way.

00:06:08.840 --> 00:06:09.079
 You know,

00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:10.560
 it's not often that you can serve

00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:11.120
 in a church

00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:13.300
 where the session is like together

00:06:13.300 --> 00:06:15.180
 and they love you

00:06:15.180 --> 00:06:16.300
 and they love God

00:06:16.300 --> 00:06:17.459
 and they really want to do

00:06:17.459 --> 00:06:18.199
 what's best.

00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:19.740
 So I was in a good place.

00:06:21.740 --> 00:06:24.579
 And I think that our current circumstances

00:06:24.579 --> 00:06:27.120
 often shape the way we look at

00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:28.959
 truth

00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:30.699
 and the way we look at

00:06:30.699 --> 00:06:32.079
 what God's doing in the world.

00:06:33.579 --> 00:06:34.500
 And so for me,

00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:36.319
 that's what Tuesday was.

00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:40.000
 For some other people,

00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:41.259
 which there was some laughter,

00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:42.279
 I didn't even know

00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:42.959
 I was that funny,

00:06:43.500 --> 00:06:44.339
 there was an election

00:06:44.339 --> 00:06:44.920
 on Tuesday.

00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:46.959
 That's all I have to say

00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:47.360
 about that.

00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:54.060
 I'm not speaking

00:06:54.060 --> 00:06:54.980
 because I had something funny

00:06:54.980 --> 00:06:55.279
 to say,

00:06:55.339 --> 00:06:56.279
 but I know it's not that funny.

00:06:58.719 --> 00:06:59.899
 So getting to this text,

00:07:00.620 --> 00:07:02.240
 I think that the way

00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:03.439
 we often approach life

00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:04.319
 and the way that we approach

00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:04.699
 the Bible

00:07:04.699 --> 00:07:05.399
 and the way we approach

00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:06.339
 scriptural truths,

00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:07.819
 we get together in small groups

00:07:07.819 --> 00:07:08.719
 and we pull our ignorance

00:07:08.719 --> 00:07:09.480
 or we get together

00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:10.500
 on the phone

00:07:10.500 --> 00:07:11.399
 and we're kind of

00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:12.540
 one-sided with somebody

00:07:12.540 --> 00:07:13.699
 or oppositional

00:07:13.699 --> 00:07:14.500
 with somebody else.

00:07:14.620 --> 00:07:15.620
 We're all coming from it

00:07:15.620 --> 00:07:18.459
 with this certain perspective.

00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:20.120
 If it hasn't occurred to us,

00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:21.180
 it hasn't occurred.

00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:24.219
 The situation that is shaping

00:07:24.219 --> 00:07:25.379
 my life right now

00:07:25.379 --> 00:07:26.300
 is the way everybody

00:07:26.300 --> 00:07:27.759
 should view and interpret

00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:29.920
 Luke 5

00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:30.560
 that we're going to go through

00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:30.959
 this morning.

00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:33.319
 And I think this passage

00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:34.560
 does a great job for us.

00:07:34.620 --> 00:07:35.399
 I was trying to figure out,

00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:36.180
 I had an illustration

00:07:36.180 --> 00:07:36.959
 that I worked on

00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:37.759
 in a PowerPoint for,

00:07:37.919 --> 00:07:38.560
 or not a PowerPoint,

00:07:38.719 --> 00:07:39.859
 an illustrator for about an hour

00:07:39.859 --> 00:07:40.799
 and then I lost it.

00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:42.959
 So I'm going to try to verbally

00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:44.479
 give the illustration.

00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:45.959
 And the best way

00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:46.919
 that I can summarize it,

00:07:46.979 --> 00:07:48.639
 I think that for all of us,

00:07:48.679 --> 00:07:49.759
 this passage is going to do

00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:50.839
 something well for us

00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:51.919
 to expand,

00:07:53.339 --> 00:07:55.560
 expand our thoughts of God,

00:07:56.659 --> 00:07:58.279
 expand what He's doing

00:07:58.279 --> 00:07:59.000
 in the world,

00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:01.879
 expand what He's done

00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:02.659
 in our hearts

00:08:02.659 --> 00:08:03.839
 through Christ.

00:08:04.819 --> 00:08:05.879
 And I think it's going

00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:06.759
 to also serve

00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:08.879
 to contract some of that.

00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:09.959
 And this is going to happen

00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:11.119
 simultaneously

00:08:11.119 --> 00:08:12.879
 at various places

00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:13.579
 throughout the passage

00:08:13.579 --> 00:08:14.519
 as we go through it.

00:08:15.979 --> 00:08:18.079
 And so the first place

00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:19.759
 that we're going to look

00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:21.179
 at things that will help us

00:08:21.179 --> 00:08:22.579
 expand and contract

00:08:22.579 --> 00:08:23.159
 our understanding

00:08:23.159 --> 00:08:23.919
 of this text

00:08:23.919 --> 00:08:26.059
 is in the call of Christ.

00:08:26.060 --> 00:08:26.199
 Christ,

00:08:27.220 --> 00:08:28.639
 as good Presbyterians

00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:29.439
 you might be,

00:08:29.780 --> 00:08:30.579
 or Reformed people,

00:08:30.699 --> 00:08:31.660
 you might be familiar

00:08:31.660 --> 00:08:32.419
 with the thought

00:08:32.419 --> 00:08:34.059
 of the effectual call.

00:08:34.980 --> 00:08:35.379
 Do you know

00:08:35.379 --> 00:08:36.820
 what the effectual call is?

00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:39.240
 It's that thing

00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:40.559
 that Jesus did

00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:41.600
 that made you believe.

00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:44.019
 And it's exactly

00:08:44.019 --> 00:08:44.820
 what it sounds like.

00:08:44.860 --> 00:08:46.000
 It was a call from Him

00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:47.100
 that affected

00:08:47.100 --> 00:08:48.799
 you coming to Him.

00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:51.659
 So I heard a pastor

00:08:51.659 --> 00:08:52.700
 display it this way once.

00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:53.279
 My wife is sick

00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:53.980
 of this illustration,

00:08:54.179 --> 00:08:55.019
 but I'm going to give it anyway.

00:08:56.059 --> 00:08:57.199
 He said,

00:08:57.259 --> 00:08:58.059
 imagine that you're

00:08:58.059 --> 00:08:59.099
 in your bed

00:08:59.099 --> 00:09:01.000
 and it's dark.

00:09:01.359 --> 00:09:02.219
 Maybe it's 2 a.m.

00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:04.119
 Your dog's not whimpering.

00:09:04.599 --> 00:09:05.459
 Your kids are asleep.

00:09:06.479 --> 00:09:07.539
 The lights are out

00:09:07.539 --> 00:09:09.159
 and you're deep,

00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:11.099
 deep and sound asleep.

00:09:12.659 --> 00:09:13.419
 And someone walks

00:09:13.419 --> 00:09:14.000
 into the room

00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:15.279
 and leans into your ear

00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:17.019
 and says,

00:09:17.839 --> 00:09:18.500
 wake up!

00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:24.219
 And you don't sit there

00:09:24.219 --> 00:09:25.639
 and consider to yourself

00:09:25.639 --> 00:09:26.699
 well.

00:09:26.699 --> 00:09:27.699
 I was sleeping.

00:09:28.740 --> 00:09:29.919
 Someone just yelled at me.

00:09:31.199 --> 00:09:32.580
 I think I'll go back to sleep.

00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:33.919
 No, you wake up.

00:09:34.659 --> 00:09:36.080
 Someone screaming in your ear

00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:37.139
 affects exactly

00:09:37.139 --> 00:09:37.980
 the response

00:09:37.980 --> 00:09:38.939
 that they're looking for.

00:09:39.179 --> 00:09:40.179
 And that's the reality

00:09:40.179 --> 00:09:41.080
 of the call

00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:42.519
 of Christ

00:09:42.519 --> 00:09:44.019
 in your heart

00:09:44.019 --> 00:09:44.480
 and my heart

00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:45.480
 and any believer's heart.

00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:46.480
 God's heart

00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:48.940
 and I think that

00:09:48.940 --> 00:09:52.300
 I think it's interesting

00:09:52.300 --> 00:09:53.100
 to consider that

00:09:53.100 --> 00:09:54.300
 because, you know,

00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:55.039
 do you believe?

00:09:55.659 --> 00:09:56.500
 Do you believe in Jesus?

00:09:58.700 --> 00:09:59.600
 Do you believe in him?

00:10:01.659 --> 00:10:02.580
 The Bible makes it

00:10:02.580 --> 00:10:03.200
 pretty simple

00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:04.560
 as far as

00:10:04.560 --> 00:10:05.620
 getting into heaven.

00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:08.159
 John 3.16

00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:08.939
 Believe.

00:10:09.259 --> 00:10:10.179
 He died for the whole world.

00:10:10.319 --> 00:10:10.679
 Believe.

00:10:11.459 --> 00:10:12.579
 Romans 3.22

00:10:12.579 --> 00:10:15.259
 Believe.

00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:17.299
 Romans 10.

00:10:17.419 --> 00:10:17.740
 Believe.

00:10:20.219 --> 00:10:21.279
 And a lot of times,

00:10:21.439 --> 00:10:21.579
 I mean,

00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:22.719
 I can explain to you

00:10:22.719 --> 00:10:23.839
 why you believe

00:10:23.839 --> 00:10:26.120
 through Ephesians 1,

00:10:27.699 --> 00:10:29.339
 through John 3.10,

00:10:31.219 --> 00:10:32.659
 through Romans 9,

00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:33.699
 right before Romans 10.

00:10:34.500 --> 00:10:35.540
 But do you believe?

00:10:38.259 --> 00:10:39.259
 And this gives us

00:10:39.259 --> 00:10:40.140
 a picture

00:10:40.140 --> 00:10:41.240
 in this passage

00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:42.580
 of several different

00:10:42.580 --> 00:10:43.520
 kinds of calls

00:10:43.520 --> 00:10:45.200
 that Jesus issues here.

00:10:45.780 --> 00:10:46.379
 First of all,

00:10:46.420 --> 00:10:48.040
 we have a group of people

00:10:48.040 --> 00:10:49.700
 sitting on the shore,

00:10:50.400 --> 00:10:51.460
 probably not too dissimilar

00:10:51.460 --> 00:10:52.080
 from what we're doing

00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:52.520
 this morning.

00:10:53.020 --> 00:10:53.820
 This guy has been

00:10:53.820 --> 00:10:54.500
 doing miracles.

00:10:55.020 --> 00:10:55.700
 He's interesting.

00:10:55.920 --> 00:10:56.700
 He's a good speaker.

00:10:57.680 --> 00:10:58.540
 Let's go down

00:10:58.540 --> 00:10:59.520
 to hear him talk.

00:11:00.340 --> 00:11:01.180
 And he did.

00:11:01.179 --> 00:11:03.859
 And they came closer.

00:11:03.959 --> 00:11:04.859
 His buddy Simon was there.

00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:05.759
 He just healed his mom

00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:06.659
 two weeks ago, right?

00:11:07.339 --> 00:11:08.339
 It was longer than that.

00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:08.919
 Put in Will's sermon

00:11:08.919 --> 00:11:09.519
 two weeks ago.

00:11:10.159 --> 00:11:11.000
 Pushed out in a boat.

00:11:12.079 --> 00:11:12.639
 And he's calling

00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:13.259
 these people,

00:11:13.479 --> 00:11:14.339
 faithfully preaching

00:11:14.339 --> 00:11:14.979
 the word,

00:11:15.139 --> 00:11:15.979
 preaching truth to them,

00:11:16.099 --> 00:11:17.719
 exposing who he is

00:11:17.719 --> 00:11:18.219
 to them.

00:11:20.539 --> 00:11:21.539
 Then there's a more

00:11:21.539 --> 00:11:23.339
 specific kind of call.

00:11:23.419 --> 00:11:24.539
 And I think that we can

00:11:24.539 --> 00:11:25.459
 identify with this one

00:11:25.459 --> 00:11:25.919
 as well.

00:11:26.500 --> 00:11:27.219
 And this is the one

00:11:27.219 --> 00:11:27.919
 that went to

00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:29.120
 the guys in the boat.

00:11:29.839 --> 00:11:30.519
 The first one's

00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:31.460
 more of a general call.

00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:33.179
 This is something

00:11:33.179 --> 00:11:33.860
 we might recognize

00:11:33.860 --> 00:11:34.539
 a little bit more.

00:11:35.620 --> 00:11:35.819
 You know,

00:11:35.860 --> 00:11:36.519
 the guys have just

00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:37.079
 gotten in.

00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:37.799
 You can imagine

00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:38.819
 it's the end of a work day.

00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:40.079
 They got nothing done.

00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:41.419
 They're not going to get

00:11:41.419 --> 00:11:42.439
 any money for their catch.

00:11:42.519 --> 00:11:43.279
 They spend a ton of time

00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:43.699
 in the water.

00:11:44.819 --> 00:11:45.799
 And this carpenter

00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:46.899
 who healed my mom,

00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:48.179
 I like him.

00:11:48.220 --> 00:11:49.100
 He's a good guy and all.

00:11:49.980 --> 00:11:51.299
 But he tells me,

00:11:51.659 --> 00:11:52.019
 you know,

00:11:52.100 --> 00:11:52.519
 you're talking

00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:53.460
 fisherman business now,

00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:53.679
 man.

00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:55.480
 We did this.

00:11:56.379 --> 00:11:56.960
 Worked my fingers

00:11:56.960 --> 00:11:57.299
 to the bone

00:11:57.299 --> 00:11:57.939
 all night long.

00:11:59.220 --> 00:12:00.159
 We didn't catch anything.

00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:02.679
 And then there was

00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:03.759
 still something in him,

00:12:04.179 --> 00:12:04.659
 in Peter,

00:12:04.779 --> 00:12:05.879
 that heard what Jesus

00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:06.620
 was saying

00:12:06.620 --> 00:12:07.740
 and said,

00:12:07.819 --> 00:12:08.120
 you know,

00:12:09.259 --> 00:12:10.819
 even though I've done

00:12:10.819 --> 00:12:11.539
 all I can

00:12:11.539 --> 00:12:12.899
 to control this situation

00:12:12.899 --> 00:12:13.460
 today,

00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:14.220
 tonight,

00:12:14.620 --> 00:12:15.379
 I'm going to go out

00:12:15.379 --> 00:12:16.000
 and do what he said.

00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:19.299
 I think that's a call

00:12:19.299 --> 00:12:20.460
 that we identify with

00:12:20.460 --> 00:12:21.759
 a little bit more

00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:22.980
 maybe in our lives

00:12:22.980 --> 00:12:23.500
 as we

00:12:23.500 --> 00:12:25.460
 tend to walk away

00:12:25.460 --> 00:12:25.860
 from

00:12:25.860 --> 00:12:27.379
 the reality

00:12:27.379 --> 00:12:28.639
 of Jesus doing things

00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:28.980
 for us

00:12:28.980 --> 00:12:29.720
 and trust and obey

00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:30.439
 for there's no other

00:12:30.439 --> 00:12:31.000
 way to be happy

00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:31.379
 in Jesus

00:12:31.379 --> 00:12:32.460
 than to trust and obey.

00:12:33.179 --> 00:12:34.039
 It's easy to say.

00:12:34.460 --> 00:12:34.960
 I'm going to stop

00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:35.399
 rhyming now.

00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:38.199
 But that's often

00:12:38.199 --> 00:12:39.080
 where we find ourselves.

00:12:39.299 --> 00:12:39.600
 Jesus,

00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:40.559
 thanks for getting me here.

00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:41.899
 I've done a lot of work,

00:12:41.980 --> 00:12:42.159
 though.

00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:43.799
 Thanks for healing my mom.

00:12:44.559 --> 00:12:45.399
 I've got it from here.

00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:46.240
 I'm going to take care of it.

00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:46.819
 We'll go out and work

00:12:46.819 --> 00:12:47.519
 and we'll do our thing

00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:48.139
 and I don't really need

00:12:48.139 --> 00:12:48.759
 to listen to you

00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:49.279
 as you tell me

00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:50.460
 to go back out

00:12:50.460 --> 00:12:51.000
 into the water

00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:52.779
 and fish again.

00:12:52.860 --> 00:12:53.600
 And then Jesus goes,

00:12:54.460 --> 00:12:54.980
 yeah, do it.

00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:55.700
 And you go,

00:12:55.840 --> 00:12:56.100
 okay,

00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:56.740
 yeah, do it.

00:12:56.740 --> 00:12:57.980
 That sounds good.

00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:02.720
 And this last call,

00:13:02.840 --> 00:13:03.639
 this third call

00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:04.580
 is the most poignant

00:13:04.580 --> 00:13:06.500
 and seemingly dramatic.

00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:09.399
 This leper,

00:13:10.539 --> 00:13:11.560
 broken,

00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:14.659
 ostracized,

00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:17.860
 outcast from society.

00:13:19.820 --> 00:13:21.340
 No hope for him

00:13:21.340 --> 00:13:22.480
 in life at all.

00:13:22.580 --> 00:13:23.440
 Can't get near people

00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:24.960
 in this society.

00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:25.800
 Lepers had to stay

00:13:25.800 --> 00:13:26.460
 a certain number

00:13:26.460 --> 00:13:27.200
 of paces away

00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:27.780
 from people.

00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:32.139
 And he knows

00:13:32.139 --> 00:13:33.500
 beyond a shadow

00:13:33.500 --> 00:13:34.320
 of a doubt

00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:36.200
 that if Jesus

00:13:36.200 --> 00:13:37.080
 wills for him

00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:37.780
 to be healed,

00:13:38.400 --> 00:13:39.759
 he can be healed.

00:13:44.139 --> 00:13:45.180
 More often than not,

00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:45.879
 we find ourselves

00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:46.700
 in that first group,

00:13:46.860 --> 00:13:47.420
 much like we are

00:13:47.420 --> 00:13:47.800
 this morning.

00:13:47.860 --> 00:13:48.700
 You probably have plans

00:13:48.700 --> 00:13:50.280
 already after today.

00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:50.780
 Some of you

00:13:50.780 --> 00:13:51.660
 are going to be lamenting.

00:13:51.659 --> 00:13:54.639
 Auburn and Clemson fans

00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:55.179
 are welcome to meet

00:13:55.179 --> 00:13:56.100
 at Pastor Will's house

00:13:56.100 --> 00:13:58.519
 to think about yesterday

00:13:58.519 --> 00:13:59.679
 and consider it together.

00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:01.519
 You're having dinner,

00:14:01.899 --> 00:14:03.000
 traveling back to where

00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:03.639
 you came from

00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:04.659
 if you're a visitor.

00:14:06.819 --> 00:14:07.620
 And we're thankful

00:14:07.620 --> 00:14:08.259
 and we're grateful

00:14:08.259 --> 00:14:09.519
 for this general call

00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:10.579
 that Christ continues

00:14:10.579 --> 00:14:11.299
 to give to us

00:14:11.299 --> 00:14:12.100
 where we can be fed

00:14:12.100 --> 00:14:12.939
 and we can be edified

00:14:12.939 --> 00:14:13.679
 by fellowship

00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:14.379
 and communion,

00:14:15.319 --> 00:14:16.419
 literally communion

00:14:16.419 --> 00:14:16.899
 and communion

00:14:16.899 --> 00:14:17.639
 with each other,

00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:19.039
 preached word,

00:14:19.959 --> 00:14:20.899
 getting to sing songs,

00:14:20.899 --> 00:14:21.759
 everything that goes along

00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:22.500
 with corporate worship.

00:14:22.620 --> 00:14:23.340
 This great thing.

00:14:23.639 --> 00:14:24.159
 Look to your right

00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:24.759
 and to your left.

00:14:24.980 --> 00:14:25.179
 Seriously,

00:14:25.299 --> 00:14:25.720
 look to your right

00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:26.279
 and to your left.

00:14:27.220 --> 00:14:28.019
 There's a good chance

00:14:28.019 --> 00:14:28.679
 these people feel

00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:29.399
 the way that you do.

00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:30.980
 They love Jesus.

00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:32.079
 They didn't come here

00:14:32.079 --> 00:14:33.620
 to sit in a bubble

00:14:33.620 --> 00:14:34.539
 and experience

00:14:34.539 --> 00:14:35.559
 this worship service

00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:36.199
 by themselves.

00:14:36.319 --> 00:14:36.720
 They came here

00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:37.379
 to be with you,

00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:39.159
 to worship their Savior

00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:39.639
 with you.

00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:41.819
 That's an awesome thing.

00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:43.679
 And it's great

00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:44.559
 that God gives us

00:14:44.559 --> 00:14:46.939
 this kind of call

00:14:46.939 --> 00:14:47.779
 in our lives

00:14:47.779 --> 00:14:48.740
 to be around each other.

00:14:50.899 --> 00:14:51.759
 That second call,

00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:52.419
 man,

00:14:52.539 --> 00:14:53.179
 that second call

00:14:53.179 --> 00:14:53.459
 is the one

00:14:53.459 --> 00:14:54.379
 I hate to hear about.

00:14:56.480 --> 00:14:57.120
 Over and over

00:14:57.120 --> 00:14:57.659
 in my life

00:14:57.659 --> 00:14:58.679
 I've learned that,

00:14:58.840 --> 00:14:59.379
 and I'm young,

00:14:59.439 --> 00:14:59.860
 I'm 35,

00:15:00.100 --> 00:15:00.419
 I'm young,

00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:01.439
 I understand that,

00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:01.959
 but over and over

00:15:01.959 --> 00:15:02.419
 in my life

00:15:02.419 --> 00:15:02.799
 I've learned

00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:04.439
 that I really try

00:15:04.439 --> 00:15:05.360
 to sort things out

00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:06.240
 and organize them

00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:08.059
 and get them just so

00:15:08.059 --> 00:15:10.120
 because God's given me

00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:11.579
 this so I should be

00:15:11.579 --> 00:15:12.539
 a good steward of it.

00:15:13.959 --> 00:15:14.319
 Right?

00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:15.319
 Is there anything

00:15:15.319 --> 00:15:15.879
 wrong with stewardship?

00:15:16.139 --> 00:15:16.299
 No,

00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:16.960
 there's nothing wrong

00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:17.299
 with stewardship.

00:15:17.860 --> 00:15:18.439
 It's a good thing.

00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:20.880
 But I begin to think

00:15:20.880 --> 00:15:21.300
 that,

00:15:21.860 --> 00:15:22.060
 you know,

00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:22.340
 God,

00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:23.440
 you gave me this,

00:15:23.580 --> 00:15:24.440
 I'll take care of this.

00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:25.420
 You go do the big stuff.

00:15:25.500 --> 00:15:26.220
 You go hang out

00:15:26.220 --> 00:15:26.660
 with the lepers.

00:15:26.780 --> 00:15:27.560
 I'm going to do this thing

00:15:27.560 --> 00:15:28.040
 in my life

00:15:28.040 --> 00:15:28.800
 that you've given me.

00:15:30.640 --> 00:15:32.000
 And God comes

00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:32.920
 and takes it from you

00:15:32.920 --> 00:15:34.800
 or it breaks down

00:15:34.800 --> 00:15:35.500
 because of the sin

00:15:35.500 --> 00:15:36.080
 of other people

00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:37.260
 in your life,

00:15:38.340 --> 00:15:40.320
 in your world.

00:15:42.200 --> 00:15:43.000
 And so we go

00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:43.660
 from these people

00:15:43.660 --> 00:15:45.240
 who are generally

00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:46.280
 happily going through life

00:15:46.280 --> 00:15:47.580
 receiving that general call

00:15:47.580 --> 00:15:48.860
 to those who are broken

00:15:48.860 --> 00:15:49.620
 and we get broken

00:15:49.620 --> 00:15:50.560
 by our own sin,

00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:51.540
 choices we make

00:15:51.540 --> 00:15:53.220
 actively against our spouse.

00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:55.540
 Will was discussing

00:15:55.540 --> 00:15:56.340
 something that I think

00:15:56.340 --> 00:15:57.720
 most parents can empathize with.

00:15:59.280 --> 00:15:59.620
 You know,

00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:00.220
 it's stressful

00:16:00.220 --> 00:16:00.860
 at the end of the night.

00:16:01.400 --> 00:16:01.720
 Why?

00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:02.700
 I have no idea.

00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:04.060
 If I could put my finger

00:16:04.060 --> 00:16:04.759
 on why it was stressful,

00:16:04.860 --> 00:16:05.500
 I would not be stressed

00:16:05.500 --> 00:16:06.160
 at the end of the night.

00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:08.920
 And then we sit there,

00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:09.379
 supposed to be

00:16:09.379 --> 00:16:10.440
 our representatives of Jesus

00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:11.120
 to our kids

00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:12.120
 and treat them

00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:12.680
 anything like

00:16:12.680 --> 00:16:13.580
 but that.

00:16:15.640 --> 00:16:16.460
 Our minds

00:16:16.460 --> 00:16:19.860
 our minds betray us.

00:16:21.540 --> 00:16:21.980
 Addictions,

00:16:23.180 --> 00:16:23.660
 depression,

00:16:25.620 --> 00:16:26.139
 awful,

00:16:26.500 --> 00:16:27.580
 awful realities

00:16:27.580 --> 00:16:30.240
 that are not

00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:31.120
 in our plans.

00:16:32.259 --> 00:16:33.800
 It's not supposed to be

00:16:33.800 --> 00:16:35.259
 what I'm doing.

00:16:38.740 --> 00:16:40.100
 And Jesus is there

00:16:40.100 --> 00:16:42.440
 calling us

00:16:42.440 --> 00:16:43.320
 in those moments

00:16:43.320 --> 00:16:44.240
 to saying,

00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:46.799
 rest on me

00:16:46.799 --> 00:16:47.200
 in that.

00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:48.759
 I know you've been

00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:49.620
 out working all night.

00:16:50.379 --> 00:16:51.039
 I know you think

00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:51.700
 you've got it.

00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:54.620
 And when you have nothing

00:16:54.620 --> 00:16:56.039
 and you're left with nothing,

00:16:57.259 --> 00:16:57.919
 you still have me.

00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:01.019
 And I think

00:17:01.019 --> 00:17:02.279
 both of these things

00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:03.139
 push us

00:17:03.139 --> 00:17:04.120
 down

00:17:04.120 --> 00:17:05.180
 to where this

00:17:05.180 --> 00:17:06.420
 contracts the most

00:17:06.420 --> 00:17:07.059
 on us.

00:17:08.460 --> 00:17:08.819
 Where

00:17:08.819 --> 00:17:10.900
 you probably remember

00:17:10.900 --> 00:17:11.440
 that time

00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:12.059
 if you're saved

00:17:12.059 --> 00:17:12.640
 in this room,

00:17:12.640 --> 00:17:13.000
 you remember

00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:13.580
 you remember that time

00:17:13.580 --> 00:17:14.620
 where you were broken

00:17:14.620 --> 00:17:15.480
 and you were brought

00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:16.200
 to your knees

00:17:16.200 --> 00:17:17.100
 at the reality

00:17:17.100 --> 00:17:19.620
 of who Jesus is.

00:17:20.180 --> 00:17:20.920
 How grievous

00:17:20.920 --> 00:17:22.440
 your sins are

00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:23.960
 against a holy God.

00:17:24.520 --> 00:17:25.100
 You stopped

00:17:25.100 --> 00:17:26.000
 comparing your sins

00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:27.000
 to those around you

00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:28.080
 and started comparing

00:17:28.080 --> 00:17:29.100
 yourself to the one

00:17:29.100 --> 00:17:30.020
 who created you

00:17:30.020 --> 00:17:31.780
 and it drives you

00:17:31.780 --> 00:17:32.720
 to your knees.

00:17:34.040 --> 00:17:35.120
 And you say

00:17:35.120 --> 00:17:35.960
 like Thomas

00:17:35.960 --> 00:17:36.780
 or like Peter,

00:17:37.900 --> 00:17:38.540
 my Lord,

00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:39.259
 my God,

00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:41.380
 only you can fix

00:17:41.380 --> 00:17:42.080
 this brokenness

00:17:42.080 --> 00:17:42.640
 that's in me.

00:17:43.840 --> 00:17:44.880
 I'm cast out.

00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:46.720
 I cheated on my wife.

00:17:46.800 --> 00:17:47.840
 I cheated on my husband.

00:17:48.260 --> 00:17:49.540
 My church has betrayed me.

00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:52.220
 I'm alone.

00:17:52.600 --> 00:17:53.780
 I'm ostracized.

00:17:55.480 --> 00:17:56.480
 I'm depressed.

00:17:58.060 --> 00:17:59.160
 Nobody knows it.

00:18:01.800 --> 00:18:02.860
 I have cancer.

00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:03.580
 I'm alone.

00:18:03.579 --> 00:18:03.679
 I'm alone.

00:18:04.899 --> 00:18:05.899
 My spouse

00:18:05.899 --> 00:18:06.960
 is no longer

00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:08.240
 in this world

00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:09.199
 and people have stopped

00:18:09.199 --> 00:18:09.859
 visiting me.

00:18:09.919 --> 00:18:10.619
 I'm alone.

00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:13.779
 And you're

00:18:13.779 --> 00:18:15.559
 broken in that place.

00:18:17.699 --> 00:18:18.859
 And you reach out

00:18:18.859 --> 00:18:19.480
 knowing that

00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:20.259
 Jesus,

00:18:20.419 --> 00:18:21.199
 if you just reach down

00:18:21.199 --> 00:18:21.879
 and touch me,

00:18:23.019 --> 00:18:24.199
 if you'll just do that.

00:18:25.980 --> 00:18:26.839
 Have you experienced

00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:27.720
 these calls?

00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:31.279
 Have you experienced that?

00:18:31.279 --> 00:18:33.319
 The rest of my sermon

00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:34.059
 doesn't really matter.

00:18:34.180 --> 00:18:34.720
 I'm not sure the rest

00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:35.859
 of this text makes sense

00:18:35.859 --> 00:18:36.839
 to you if you haven't.

00:18:37.379 --> 00:18:37.899
 That's why I started

00:18:37.899 --> 00:18:38.859
 with do you believe?

00:18:41.879 --> 00:18:42.920
 I want to implore you,

00:18:43.019 --> 00:18:43.680
 believe.

00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:45.899
 Belief is not

00:18:45.899 --> 00:18:46.960
 that fleeting thing

00:18:46.960 --> 00:18:48.019
 that you did once

00:18:48.019 --> 00:18:48.579
 when you walked

00:18:48.579 --> 00:18:49.220
 down the aisle

00:18:49.220 --> 00:18:50.139
 or when you prayed

00:18:50.139 --> 00:18:50.960
 the believer's prayer

00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:51.720
 with your parents.

00:18:52.940 --> 00:18:53.700
 Whether you're

00:18:53.700 --> 00:18:54.920
 seven years old

00:18:54.920 --> 00:18:55.700
 or you're

00:18:55.700 --> 00:18:56.879
 77 years old

00:18:56.879 --> 00:18:57.379
 in this room.

00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:00.299
 Belief is a

00:19:00.299 --> 00:19:01.680
 continual understanding

00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:02.440
 of who you've

00:19:02.440 --> 00:19:03.480
 been called by.

00:19:05.659 --> 00:19:07.019
 The continual call

00:19:07.019 --> 00:19:07.940
 on your life

00:19:07.940 --> 00:19:09.240
 and the continual

00:19:09.240 --> 00:19:10.240
 understanding that

00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:11.980
 if he didn't reach

00:19:11.980 --> 00:19:13.319
 down effectually

00:19:13.319 --> 00:19:14.500
 to touch you

00:19:14.500 --> 00:19:15.519
 and heal you,

00:19:16.779 --> 00:19:17.339
 there's nothing

00:19:17.339 --> 00:19:18.099
 to believe in.

00:19:20.740 --> 00:19:21.259
 So,

00:19:21.639 --> 00:19:22.240
 the call of Christ

00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:23.000
 is one way

00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:24.940
 that we see him

00:19:24.940 --> 00:19:26.119
 do this today.

00:19:26.980 --> 00:19:27.740
 And the understanding

00:19:27.740 --> 00:19:28.599
 of the call of Christ

00:19:28.599 --> 00:19:29.980
 begins to

00:19:29.980 --> 00:19:32.059
 contract that reality

00:19:32.059 --> 00:19:32.759
 for us.

00:19:33.740 --> 00:19:34.419
 What he's doing

00:19:34.419 --> 00:19:34.919
 in men.

00:19:36.039 --> 00:19:37.099
 Even as it begins

00:19:37.099 --> 00:19:38.119
 to expand

00:19:38.119 --> 00:19:39.059
 our understanding

00:19:39.059 --> 00:19:39.659
 of what he's

00:19:39.659 --> 00:19:40.919
 doing in the world.

00:19:42.639 --> 00:19:43.000
 So,

00:19:43.599 --> 00:19:44.299
 the next thing

00:19:44.299 --> 00:19:44.899
 we would want to do

00:19:44.899 --> 00:19:45.459
 is understand

00:19:45.459 --> 00:19:46.719
 the care of Christ.

00:19:47.240 --> 00:19:47.879
 And I think that's

00:19:47.879 --> 00:19:48.619
 number two.

00:19:48.959 --> 00:19:49.240
 I think that's

00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:51.319
 full disclosure,

00:19:51.740 --> 00:19:52.819
 I was going to leave

00:19:52.819 --> 00:19:54.039
 blank underlines there

00:19:54.039 --> 00:19:55.559
 to be more like Will

00:19:55.559 --> 00:19:56.679
 and I actively chose

00:19:56.679 --> 00:19:57.159
 against them.

00:19:57.160 --> 00:20:01.340
 The care of Christ

00:20:01.340 --> 00:20:02.920
 is the second way

00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:04.240
 that this passage

00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:04.860
 shows us.

00:20:06.779 --> 00:20:07.720
 We actually see it

00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:08.900
 in the same breakdowns

00:20:08.900 --> 00:20:09.700
 as I used

00:20:09.700 --> 00:20:10.900
 for the call of Christ.

00:20:12.500 --> 00:20:13.080
 These people

00:20:13.080 --> 00:20:14.540
 who are there

00:20:14.540 --> 00:20:15.640
 in Luke 5,

00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:16.340
 1 through 3

00:20:16.340 --> 00:20:17.620
 on the shores,

00:20:19.080 --> 00:20:19.800
 he cares for them.

00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:22.120
 They're pressing in

00:20:22.120 --> 00:20:22.440
 on him.

00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:23.019
 He's tired.

00:20:23.120 --> 00:20:23.620
 He's been teaching

00:20:23.620 --> 00:20:24.340
 in the synagogues.

00:20:24.380 --> 00:20:25.279
 He's been healing people.

00:20:25.360 --> 00:20:26.380
 They won't leave him alone.

00:20:27.540 --> 00:20:28.380
 They're everywhere.

00:20:29.240 --> 00:20:29.880
 And they're pressing

00:20:29.880 --> 00:20:30.420
 in on him.

00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:31.460
 I lived at the beach.

00:20:31.540 --> 00:20:32.480
 That was my only image

00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:33.000
 in my mind.

00:20:33.080 --> 00:20:33.720
 I know this is less

00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:34.300
 of a beach scene

00:20:34.300 --> 00:20:35.240
 and more of a bay scene

00:20:35.240 --> 00:20:36.540
 or a lake scene.

00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:38.480
 But can you imagine

00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:39.860
 just people wanting

00:20:39.860 --> 00:20:40.640
 to be around you

00:20:40.640 --> 00:20:41.240
 that much

00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:42.660
 and want to hear

00:20:42.660 --> 00:20:43.519
 what you say?

00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:45.940
 And I don't know

00:20:45.940 --> 00:20:46.840
 if he had one of those

00:20:46.840 --> 00:20:48.360
 big, booming preacher voices

00:20:48.360 --> 00:20:49.380
 that could carry over

00:20:49.380 --> 00:20:50.460
 an entire beach.

00:20:50.460 --> 00:20:53.480
 But chances are

00:20:53.480 --> 00:20:53.960
 if the crowd

00:20:53.960 --> 00:20:55.400
 is of any substantial size,

00:20:55.620 --> 00:20:56.539
 they were pressing in

00:20:56.539 --> 00:20:57.480
 on trying to hear

00:20:57.480 --> 00:20:58.279
 and that can get,

00:20:58.559 --> 00:20:59.360
 man, your back's

00:20:59.360 --> 00:20:59.940
 against the water.

00:21:00.019 --> 00:21:00.660
 What's going to happen?

00:21:01.079 --> 00:21:02.340
 And I see my buddy Peter

00:21:02.340 --> 00:21:02.940
 and I say,

00:21:02.980 --> 00:21:03.140
 hey man,

00:21:03.180 --> 00:21:03.519
 let me get out

00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:03.940
 in your boat.

00:21:04.819 --> 00:21:05.559
 And he takes the time

00:21:05.559 --> 00:21:06.100
 to think through

00:21:06.100 --> 00:21:06.900
 how can I communicate

00:21:06.900 --> 00:21:07.400
 with them?

00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:09.079
 How can I be there

00:21:09.079 --> 00:21:09.420
 for them?

00:21:09.759 --> 00:21:10.660
 How can I continue

00:21:10.660 --> 00:21:12.059
 issuing this truth

00:21:12.059 --> 00:21:12.380
 to them?

00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:13.160
 Who cared for them?

00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:15.840
 A little thing like that

00:21:15.840 --> 00:21:16.759
 to continue being able

00:21:16.759 --> 00:21:17.400
 to speak to them

00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:18.519
 so that more could hear him

00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:19.860
 and maybe he could finish

00:21:19.860 --> 00:21:20.700
 what he had to say.

00:21:22.560 --> 00:21:23.480
 And for that same group,

00:21:23.820 --> 00:21:24.500
 I asked Will about it

00:21:24.500 --> 00:21:24.940
 this morning.

00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:25.840
 There's nothing really

00:21:25.840 --> 00:21:27.000
 substantial theologically

00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:27.500
 to this,

00:21:27.560 --> 00:21:28.700
 but it's a fair thought.

00:21:29.540 --> 00:21:30.500
 When Peter and James

00:21:30.500 --> 00:21:31.500
 and John left

00:21:31.500 --> 00:21:32.860
 everything in the boats

00:21:32.860 --> 00:21:33.940
 after they had just

00:21:33.940 --> 00:21:34.980
 caught a ton of fish,

00:21:35.100 --> 00:21:35.759
 well, something happened

00:21:35.759 --> 00:21:36.420
 to those fish.

00:21:37.620 --> 00:21:38.840
 They probably didn't sit

00:21:38.840 --> 00:21:39.900
 in the boats and rot.

00:21:42.280 --> 00:21:43.120
 So maybe that's

00:21:43.120 --> 00:21:43.920
 another subtle way

00:21:43.920 --> 00:21:44.460
 that he cared

00:21:44.460 --> 00:21:45.019
 for those people

00:21:45.019 --> 00:21:45.920
 who provided food for him

00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:46.540
 after they hung out

00:21:46.540 --> 00:21:47.240
 and listened to him.

00:21:47.400 --> 00:21:50.460
 Again, that's not

00:21:50.460 --> 00:21:50.980
 word of God.

00:21:51.060 --> 00:21:51.720
 That was word of Peter.

00:21:54.280 --> 00:21:54.920
 And then we see

00:21:54.920 --> 00:21:55.480
 these guys,

00:21:56.540 --> 00:21:57.360
 Peter, James, and John.

00:21:58.280 --> 00:21:59.640
 Peter, always at the forefront

00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:00.140
 putting his foot

00:22:00.140 --> 00:22:00.580
 in his mouth.

00:22:00.700 --> 00:22:01.740
 I can identify with this.

00:22:02.100 --> 00:22:02.600
 I wish my parents

00:22:02.600 --> 00:22:03.420
 had named me something else.

00:22:05.840 --> 00:22:06.380
 He says,

00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:06.680
 hey man,

00:22:07.540 --> 00:22:08.380
 you don't know

00:22:08.380 --> 00:22:08.820
 what you're doing.

00:22:10.300 --> 00:22:11.000
 And Jesus said,

00:22:11.019 --> 00:22:11.380
 yeah, go out

00:22:11.380 --> 00:22:11.900
 and do it anyway.

00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:16.480
 Can you imagine

00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:17.279
 imagine the,

00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:20.559
 what would you have done?

00:22:20.940 --> 00:22:21.920
 I keep thinking

00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:22.740
 I would have like

00:22:22.740 --> 00:22:23.620
 cut my nets,

00:22:23.740 --> 00:22:24.680
 gone into shore

00:22:24.680 --> 00:22:25.339
 and been like,

00:22:25.460 --> 00:22:25.759
 whatever,

00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:26.740
 whatever you're doing,

00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:27.140
 I'm doing,

00:22:27.240 --> 00:22:28.059
 just tell me where we're going.

00:22:29.799 --> 00:22:31.000
 But Jesus let them

00:22:31.000 --> 00:22:32.500
 experience the joy

00:22:32.500 --> 00:22:33.259
 of their work,

00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:33.839
 simply,

00:22:35.339 --> 00:22:36.400
 pulling in a big hall.

00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:39.640
 But he had called them

00:22:39.640 --> 00:22:40.400
 to be something more

00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:41.519
 than just fisher men,

00:22:41.600 --> 00:22:42.220
 as we see later

00:22:42.220 --> 00:22:43.080
 in that passage.

00:22:43.200 --> 00:22:43.780
 He called them to be

00:22:43.780 --> 00:22:44.700
 fishers of men.

00:22:47.600 --> 00:22:48.200
 You're going to be

00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:48.880
 catching men.

00:22:50.680 --> 00:22:52.300
 And he was preparing them

00:22:52.300 --> 00:22:53.759
 to understand

00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:54.900
 what following him

00:22:54.900 --> 00:22:55.740
 was going to be like.

00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:56.440
 Because they knew

00:22:56.440 --> 00:22:57.060
 about the miracles.

00:22:57.259 --> 00:22:57.680
 They'd seen them.

00:22:57.900 --> 00:22:58.340
 Peter had seen one

00:22:58.340 --> 00:22:58.660
 firsthand.

00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:03.200
 And he was caring

00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:03.820
 for them enough

00:23:03.820 --> 00:23:04.380
 to show them,

00:23:04.500 --> 00:23:04.620
 look,

00:23:04.619 --> 00:23:05.439
 this is you too.

00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:08.819
 And you're going to be

00:23:08.819 --> 00:23:09.539
 my inner circle

00:23:09.539 --> 00:23:10.279
 and come with me.

00:23:12.919 --> 00:23:13.559
 And they did.

00:23:15.199 --> 00:23:16.279
 And he led them to lepers.

00:23:16.719 --> 00:23:17.319
 We'll talk about that

00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:17.719
 more in a minute.

00:23:19.099 --> 00:23:20.899
 Then he goes to the leper.

00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:23.079
 And the care for the leper

00:23:23.079 --> 00:23:24.000
 seems obvious, right?

00:23:24.319 --> 00:23:24.679
 Jesus,

00:23:25.059 --> 00:23:25.979
 the great rabbi,

00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:26.779
 this one who's healing

00:23:26.779 --> 00:23:27.599
 and teaching people,

00:23:27.719 --> 00:23:28.319
 reaches down

00:23:28.319 --> 00:23:29.179
 and touches this guy

00:23:29.179 --> 00:23:29.679
 who's not supposed

00:23:29.679 --> 00:23:30.459
 to be anywhere near him.

00:23:31.259 --> 00:23:31.839
 That's not supposed

00:23:31.839 --> 00:23:32.639
 to be how this worked.

00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:33.979
 Will lepers stay over

00:23:33.979 --> 00:23:34.599
 in their leper column?

00:23:34.619 --> 00:23:35.639
 And this could have

00:23:35.639 --> 00:23:36.599
 been anything back then

00:23:36.599 --> 00:23:37.459
 from psoriasis

00:23:37.459 --> 00:23:39.479
 to Robin Hood,

00:23:39.619 --> 00:23:40.179
 Prince of Thieves,

00:23:40.479 --> 00:23:41.879
 where you lost your ear,

00:23:41.939 --> 00:23:42.239
 my love.

00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:46.399
 Did I just date myself

00:23:46.399 --> 00:23:47.000
 with Robin Hood men?

00:23:48.159 --> 00:23:48.559
 Anyway.

00:23:49.559 --> 00:23:50.359
 And Jesus does that.

00:23:50.419 --> 00:23:51.059
 That's simple care.

00:23:51.899 --> 00:23:52.279
 The thing I,

00:23:52.399 --> 00:23:52.899
 it's interesting

00:23:52.899 --> 00:23:54.000
 that we lose in this,

00:23:54.839 --> 00:23:55.879
 and Mark has a little bit

00:23:55.879 --> 00:23:57.019
 different take on this,

00:23:57.099 --> 00:23:58.759
 but Jesus takes care

00:23:58.759 --> 00:23:59.399
 of the guy

00:23:59.399 --> 00:24:00.579
 to make sure

00:24:00.579 --> 00:24:01.839
 he knows how to properly

00:24:01.839 --> 00:24:02.619
 get back into society.

00:24:02.619 --> 00:24:03.219
 in society.

00:24:04.319 --> 00:24:04.959
 Because it would have been

00:24:04.959 --> 00:24:05.679
 easy for the dude,

00:24:05.739 --> 00:24:06.339
 and we've seen Jesus

00:24:06.339 --> 00:24:07.099
 saying to them

00:24:07.099 --> 00:24:08.000
 over and over again,

00:24:08.059 --> 00:24:09.379
 he's been shutting demons up.

00:24:10.059 --> 00:24:10.519
 He's been telling

00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:11.059
 his disciples,

00:24:11.459 --> 00:24:13.539
 don't say that I'm the Christ

00:24:13.539 --> 00:24:14.699
 for his purposes

00:24:14.699 --> 00:24:15.259
 and his time.

00:24:16.339 --> 00:24:16.759
 And it would have been

00:24:16.759 --> 00:24:17.539
 easier for him,

00:24:17.679 --> 00:24:18.219
 or for this guy,

00:24:18.279 --> 00:24:19.000
 to jump up and be like,

00:24:19.139 --> 00:24:19.379
 whoa,

00:24:19.939 --> 00:24:20.919
 Jesus cast a demon

00:24:20.919 --> 00:24:21.379
 out of me.

00:24:21.799 --> 00:24:23.479
 This whole system

00:24:23.479 --> 00:24:25.019
 we have of Levitical stuff,

00:24:25.079 --> 00:24:25.779
 that's going away.

00:24:25.839 --> 00:24:26.479
 I can see it.

00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:27.019
 Can you believe

00:24:27.019 --> 00:24:27.779
 what this guy did to me?

00:24:28.779 --> 00:24:29.720
 And Jesus is really

00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:30.339
 careful to say,

00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:30.519
 hey,

00:24:30.579 --> 00:24:31.319
 go back to them

00:24:31.319 --> 00:24:34.160
 and show them

00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:35.319
 so that you can

00:24:35.319 --> 00:24:36.259
 satisfy the law.

00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:38.279
 You can be cleared

00:24:38.279 --> 00:24:39.019
 by the priests

00:24:39.019 --> 00:24:39.859
 who are the only people

00:24:39.859 --> 00:24:40.599
 who can tell you

00:24:40.599 --> 00:24:41.259
 that you're clean

00:24:41.259 --> 00:24:42.420
 and properly put you

00:24:42.420 --> 00:24:43.359
 back into society.

00:24:45.619 --> 00:24:46.079
 We need to take

00:24:46.079 --> 00:24:46.799
 great care of him

00:24:46.799 --> 00:24:47.920
 to show him that

00:24:47.920 --> 00:24:49.660
 and to do something

00:24:49.660 --> 00:24:50.299
 little like that.

00:24:50.379 --> 00:24:50.660
 So, I mean,

00:24:50.700 --> 00:24:51.440
 it was this physical need,

00:24:51.500 --> 00:24:52.019
 but it was this need

00:24:52.019 --> 00:24:53.019
 that the guy probably

00:24:53.019 --> 00:24:54.559
 was not even thinking about.

00:24:54.559 --> 00:24:58.079
 And again,

00:24:58.159 --> 00:24:58.299
 I mean,

00:24:58.339 --> 00:25:00.240
 this is the kind of care

00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:01.419
 that he shows

00:25:01.419 --> 00:25:02.379
 to you and I.

00:25:03.859 --> 00:25:05.059
 And it expands

00:25:05.059 --> 00:25:06.339
 our view of care

00:25:06.339 --> 00:25:06.819
 a little bit

00:25:06.819 --> 00:25:07.720
 when we think about

00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:09.220
 this thing

00:25:09.220 --> 00:25:10.119
 that you struggle

00:25:10.119 --> 00:25:10.879
 to do

00:25:10.879 --> 00:25:11.980
 and get up

00:25:11.980 --> 00:25:12.659
 and get to church

00:25:12.659 --> 00:25:13.399
 by 10.30.

00:25:14.440 --> 00:25:15.099
 If you're under

00:25:15.099 --> 00:25:15.879
 the age of 20,

00:25:16.039 --> 00:25:16.879
 you know I just spoke

00:25:16.879 --> 00:25:17.679
 a real truth to you.

00:25:19.819 --> 00:25:21.000
 This thing of getting up

00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:21.879
 and going to church

00:25:21.879 --> 00:25:22.839
 means something.

00:25:24.559 --> 00:25:25.799
 You're communing

00:25:25.799 --> 00:25:26.399
 with believers.

00:25:26.679 --> 00:25:27.240
 You're hearing

00:25:27.240 --> 00:25:28.799
 God's word preached.

00:25:28.960 --> 00:25:29.659
 You're seeing all

00:25:29.659 --> 00:25:30.619
 of those kind of things

00:25:30.619 --> 00:25:31.500
 that mean something.

00:25:32.679 --> 00:25:33.200
 There's something

00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:34.059
 of God's care

00:25:34.059 --> 00:25:34.960
 in that for you.

00:25:35.740 --> 00:25:36.859
 And we can approach it

00:25:36.859 --> 00:25:37.619
 with more of a sense

00:25:37.619 --> 00:25:38.319
 of joy

00:25:38.319 --> 00:25:39.679
 than we have to

00:25:39.679 --> 00:25:40.679
 with a sense of work.

00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:42.279
 My wife

00:25:42.279 --> 00:25:43.440
 is my superhero

00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:44.519
 in so many ways.

00:25:45.859 --> 00:25:46.839
 The devil led us

00:25:46.839 --> 00:25:47.859
 to get a dog yesterday.

00:25:49.339 --> 00:25:49.720
 And so,

00:25:50.359 --> 00:25:54.019
 in getting four,

00:25:54.019 --> 00:25:54.960
 buddy,

00:25:55.039 --> 00:25:55.579
 I'm just kidding.

00:25:55.700 --> 00:25:56.240
 I love the dog.

00:26:00.500 --> 00:26:01.599
 It was always amazing

00:26:01.599 --> 00:26:01.879
 to me

00:26:01.879 --> 00:26:02.460
 that I would just

00:26:02.460 --> 00:26:02.839
 get up and do

00:26:02.839 --> 00:26:03.879
 my own thing

00:26:03.879 --> 00:26:04.599
 on Sunday mornings

00:26:04.599 --> 00:26:05.839
 because you get here

00:26:05.839 --> 00:26:06.980
 and got to work

00:26:06.980 --> 00:26:07.740
 and all that kind of stuff.

00:26:08.519 --> 00:26:09.420
 And she somehow

00:26:09.420 --> 00:26:11.579
 gets four boys

00:26:11.579 --> 00:26:12.519
 under the age of 10

00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:13.779
 out of bed,

00:26:14.359 --> 00:26:14.680
 clean,

00:26:14.799 --> 00:26:15.059
 dressed,

00:26:15.220 --> 00:26:15.879
 teeth brushed.

00:26:16.180 --> 00:26:16.940
 A couple of weeks ago

00:26:16.940 --> 00:26:17.559
 she put an Instagram

00:26:17.559 --> 00:26:18.180
 photo up

00:26:18.180 --> 00:26:18.720
 that I was going,

00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:18.960
 man,

00:26:19.039 --> 00:26:19.299
 I can't,

00:26:19.579 --> 00:26:20.599
 that happened at my house.

00:26:20.639 --> 00:26:21.099
 That is amazing.

00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:22.200
 So she's a superhero

00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:22.680
 for that.

00:26:23.519 --> 00:26:24.480
 And all of us

00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:25.420
 have that kind of thing

00:26:25.420 --> 00:26:26.080
 whether it's

00:26:26.080 --> 00:26:27.840
 sleep or children

00:26:27.840 --> 00:26:29.660
 or tough things

00:26:29.660 --> 00:26:30.240
 at work.

00:26:30.680 --> 00:26:31.240
 A lot of us

00:26:31.240 --> 00:26:32.059
 get paid

00:26:32.059 --> 00:26:32.779
 to do way more

00:26:32.779 --> 00:26:33.519
 than we can possibly

00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:34.740
 fit into 50 hours

00:26:34.740 --> 00:26:35.400
 or 60 hours

00:26:35.400 --> 00:26:35.799
 in a week

00:26:35.799 --> 00:26:36.620
 that most of us work.

00:26:37.380 --> 00:26:38.100
 There's plenty

00:26:38.100 --> 00:26:38.460
 of reasons

00:26:38.460 --> 00:26:39.220
 not to come here.

00:26:41.360 --> 00:26:41.700
 And yet,

00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:42.319
 this is something

00:26:42.319 --> 00:26:44.080
 that shows

00:26:44.080 --> 00:26:44.640
 Christ's care

00:26:44.640 --> 00:26:45.559
 for his church.

00:26:47.140 --> 00:26:48.080
 The church that,

00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:49.299
 there's a little bit

00:26:49.299 --> 00:26:50.339
 of politics for you.

00:26:51.359 --> 00:26:52.200
 The church that existed

00:26:52.200 --> 00:26:53.279
 before the American

00:26:53.279 --> 00:26:54.700
 experiment began.

00:26:55.299 --> 00:26:56.159
 The church that will

00:26:56.159 --> 00:26:57.419
 exist long after

00:26:57.419 --> 00:26:58.740
 the American experiment.

00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:01.059
 I mean,

00:27:01.259 --> 00:27:01.379
 well,

00:27:01.599 --> 00:27:02.019
 Lord Jesus,

00:27:02.119 --> 00:27:02.559
 come now.

00:27:03.099 --> 00:27:03.720
 Save you all

00:27:03.720 --> 00:27:04.039
 from the rest

00:27:04.039 --> 00:27:04.500
 of my sermon

00:27:04.500 --> 00:27:05.319
 and that would be

00:27:05.319 --> 00:27:05.799
 an awesome thing

00:27:05.799 --> 00:27:06.319
 for all of us.

00:27:06.379 --> 00:27:07.759
 But generally speaking,

00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:08.599
 the Lord tarries.

00:27:10.539 --> 00:27:11.240
 This is what

00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:12.099
 he's given us.

00:27:13.220 --> 00:27:13.859
 This is what

00:27:13.859 --> 00:27:14.440
 he's given us.

00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:15.119
 This is the care

00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:15.799
 he's given us

00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:16.180
 generally.

00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:17.799
 And it's awesome

00:27:17.799 --> 00:27:18.599
 that it doesn't matter

00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:19.419
 how you feel

00:27:19.419 --> 00:27:20.119
 coming in.

00:27:21.700 --> 00:27:23.119
 Because we're all here

00:27:23.119 --> 00:27:25.099
 with that stuff.

00:27:26.980 --> 00:27:28.180
 We're here with parents

00:27:28.180 --> 00:27:31.039
 who are needing

00:27:31.039 --> 00:27:32.099
 way too much care

00:27:32.099 --> 00:27:33.379
 from us.

00:27:34.659 --> 00:27:35.559
 That's unfair.

00:27:35.720 --> 00:27:36.240
 Children who are

00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:37.500
 making terrible decisions.

00:27:40.039 --> 00:27:40.480
 Loneliness.

00:27:41.359 --> 00:27:42.180
 It's all here.

00:27:42.279 --> 00:27:43.039
 It's all around you.

00:27:43.779 --> 00:27:45.500
 You look to your left

00:27:45.500 --> 00:27:46.500
 and to your right again.

00:27:46.500 --> 00:27:47.640
 And these are people

00:27:47.640 --> 00:27:48.900
 who identify

00:27:48.900 --> 00:27:49.799
 with you

00:27:49.799 --> 00:27:50.880
 not only in

00:27:50.880 --> 00:27:52.180
 how much

00:27:52.180 --> 00:27:53.900
 God has called them

00:27:53.900 --> 00:27:54.819
 specifically

00:27:54.819 --> 00:27:55.420
 and their need

00:27:55.420 --> 00:27:56.039
 for a savior

00:27:56.039 --> 00:27:57.039
 but also in

00:27:57.039 --> 00:27:59.180
 life didn't stop

00:27:59.180 --> 00:28:01.339
 because of that.

00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:03.740
 Sin didn't stop

00:28:03.740 --> 00:28:04.720
 because of that.

00:28:05.900 --> 00:28:06.940
 Unexplainable things

00:28:06.940 --> 00:28:07.720
 didn't stop

00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:08.619
 because of that.

00:28:10.220 --> 00:28:10.759
 You know,

00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:11.599
 our understanding

00:28:11.599 --> 00:28:12.839
 is not any kind

00:28:12.839 --> 00:28:13.779
 of precondition

00:28:13.779 --> 00:28:15.220
 to faithfulness.

00:28:15.220 --> 00:28:17.039
 we don't always

00:28:17.039 --> 00:28:17.700
 know what God's

00:28:17.700 --> 00:28:18.079
 on about.

00:28:19.539 --> 00:28:20.339
 We want to

00:28:20.339 --> 00:28:21.539
 but we don't.

00:28:22.140 --> 00:28:22.759
 And this is a place

00:28:22.759 --> 00:28:23.360
 where you get to come

00:28:23.360 --> 00:28:24.460
 and be beside people

00:28:24.460 --> 00:28:27.200
 in your brokenness,

00:28:27.500 --> 00:28:28.839
 in that lowly state,

00:28:29.240 --> 00:28:29.860
 in the state

00:28:29.860 --> 00:28:30.420
 of just kind of

00:28:30.420 --> 00:28:30.940
 being here.

00:28:31.620 --> 00:28:32.480
 That's a great care

00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:33.259
 for God's people.

00:28:35.460 --> 00:28:36.200
 And for these guys

00:28:36.200 --> 00:28:36.620
 who are

00:28:37.500 --> 00:28:40.180
 sowing their nets

00:28:40.180 --> 00:28:41.700
 after a bad catch.

00:28:41.700 --> 00:28:42.960
 I mean,

00:28:43.019 --> 00:28:43.600
 if you're a salesman

00:28:43.600 --> 00:28:44.380
 and you've had a dry spell

00:28:44.380 --> 00:28:45.400
 for the last three weeks,

00:28:46.519 --> 00:28:47.519
 no sale,

00:28:47.580 --> 00:28:47.920
 no money.

00:28:49.559 --> 00:28:50.460
 Some of your jobs

00:28:50.460 --> 00:28:50.960
 are impacted

00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:52.360
 by a presidential change

00:28:52.360 --> 00:28:53.039
 and potential change

00:28:53.039 --> 00:28:53.559
 in policy.

00:28:54.420 --> 00:28:55.640
 That's very real.

00:28:56.900 --> 00:28:57.460
 You've worked

00:28:57.460 --> 00:28:58.000
 and organized

00:28:58.000 --> 00:28:58.519
 your time

00:28:58.519 --> 00:28:59.180
 in such a way

00:28:59.180 --> 00:28:59.840
 that your career

00:28:59.840 --> 00:29:00.220
 is headed

00:29:00.220 --> 00:29:01.019
 on this trajectory

00:29:01.019 --> 00:29:03.200
 and all of that

00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:03.880
 could be up in the air.

00:29:07.120 --> 00:29:07.700
 Some of us

00:29:07.700 --> 00:29:08.740
 just make bad decisions

00:29:08.740 --> 00:29:09.080
 at work

00:29:09.080 --> 00:29:09.500
 and we finally

00:29:09.500 --> 00:29:10.240
 got caught for them.

00:29:10.240 --> 00:29:13.240
 and we planned

00:29:13.240 --> 00:29:14.359
 not on getting caught.

00:29:17.620 --> 00:29:18.579
 And Jesus

00:29:18.579 --> 00:29:19.819
 meets us there

00:29:19.819 --> 00:29:20.839
 and shows us

00:29:20.839 --> 00:29:21.680
 his care for us

00:29:21.680 --> 00:29:22.220
 by saying,

00:29:23.000 --> 00:29:23.299
 yeah, but

00:29:23.299 --> 00:29:24.819
 you move forward

00:29:24.819 --> 00:29:25.620
 because you're

00:29:25.620 --> 00:29:26.140
 one of mine.

00:29:28.819 --> 00:29:29.500
 The things

00:29:29.500 --> 00:29:30.220
 that I've called you

00:29:30.220 --> 00:29:30.759
 to do

00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:33.120
 are because

00:29:33.120 --> 00:29:33.859
 of my reasons

00:29:33.859 --> 00:29:35.599
 and you can't see

00:29:35.599 --> 00:29:36.180
 that there is

00:29:36.180 --> 00:29:36.900
 a giant catch

00:29:36.900 --> 00:29:37.400
 out there.

00:29:38.460 --> 00:29:39.180
 I'm not necessarily

00:29:39.180 --> 00:29:39.980
 talking about

00:29:39.980 --> 00:29:41.099
 men

00:29:41.099 --> 00:29:43.019
 but I'm talking

00:29:43.019 --> 00:29:44.400
 about the reality

00:29:44.400 --> 00:29:45.299
 of what God

00:29:45.299 --> 00:29:46.099
 has set in motion

00:29:46.099 --> 00:29:46.799
 to happen

00:29:46.799 --> 00:29:47.819
 and that

00:29:47.819 --> 00:29:48.660
 our role

00:29:48.660 --> 00:29:49.140
 sometimes

00:29:49.140 --> 00:29:49.880
 is just to get

00:29:49.880 --> 00:29:50.279
 in the boat

00:29:50.279 --> 00:29:50.720
 and go out

00:29:50.720 --> 00:29:51.140
 and let down

00:29:51.140 --> 00:29:51.559
 the nets.

00:29:53.059 --> 00:29:54.259
 Whatever that looks like.

00:29:55.500 --> 00:29:56.740
 That short bit

00:29:56.740 --> 00:29:57.539
 of momentary

00:29:57.539 --> 00:29:58.259
 faithfulness.

00:30:00.180 --> 00:30:01.099
 God cares

00:30:01.099 --> 00:30:02.120
 for you enough.

00:30:03.360 --> 00:30:04.120
 Jesus cares

00:30:04.120 --> 00:30:05.019
 for you enough

00:30:05.019 --> 00:30:06.619
 that he's still

00:30:06.619 --> 00:30:07.180
 orchestrating

00:30:07.180 --> 00:30:07.779
 those things

00:30:07.779 --> 00:30:08.879
 in spite of

00:30:08.879 --> 00:30:09.660
 our desire

00:30:09.660 --> 00:30:10.319
 to control

00:30:10.319 --> 00:30:11.379
 and desire

00:30:11.379 --> 00:30:11.819
 to basically

00:30:11.819 --> 00:30:12.319
 tell him

00:30:12.319 --> 00:30:12.740
 you don't

00:30:12.740 --> 00:30:13.579
 really know

00:30:13.579 --> 00:30:13.940
 what's going

00:30:13.940 --> 00:30:14.339
 on with me

00:30:14.339 --> 00:30:14.819
 because the last

00:30:14.819 --> 00:30:15.379
 time I trusted

00:30:15.379 --> 00:30:15.680
 you

00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:17.339
 I had

00:30:17.339 --> 00:30:19.059
 nine businesses

00:30:19.059 --> 00:30:20.079
 go under

00:30:20.079 --> 00:30:20.799
 because you

00:30:20.799 --> 00:30:21.220
 had

00:30:21.220 --> 00:30:22.639
 told me

00:30:22.639 --> 00:30:22.920
 things were

00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:23.220
 going to go

00:30:23.220 --> 00:30:23.799
 a certain way

00:30:23.799 --> 00:30:24.220
 and I had

00:30:24.220 --> 00:30:24.740
 really aligned

00:30:24.740 --> 00:30:25.119
 my life

00:30:25.119 --> 00:30:25.559
 that way

00:30:25.559 --> 00:30:26.900
 and then

00:30:26.900 --> 00:30:27.579
 none of it

00:30:27.579 --> 00:30:27.980
 worked out.

00:30:27.980 --> 00:30:32.779
 That's a personal

00:30:32.779 --> 00:30:33.480
 story for me

00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:34.599
 and in spite

00:30:34.599 --> 00:30:36.180
 of my lack

00:30:36.180 --> 00:30:36.960
 of understanding

00:30:36.960 --> 00:30:38.259
 and the

00:30:38.259 --> 00:30:39.099
 place that I

00:30:39.099 --> 00:30:39.539
 was kind of

00:30:39.539 --> 00:30:40.460
 brought low

00:30:40.460 --> 00:30:40.880
 to

00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:43.099
 I was really

00:30:43.099 --> 00:30:43.799
 just rebelling

00:30:43.799 --> 00:30:44.620
 against my own

00:30:44.620 --> 00:30:45.360
 desire to control.

00:30:47.480 --> 00:30:48.279
 God didn't know

00:30:48.279 --> 00:30:48.779
 what he was doing

00:30:48.779 --> 00:30:49.319
 because if he knew

00:30:49.319 --> 00:30:50.140
 what he was doing

00:30:50.140 --> 00:30:51.039
 my 5, 10,

00:30:51.099 --> 00:30:52.079
 and 15 year plan

00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:53.279
 would still

00:30:53.279 --> 00:30:53.819
 be happening.

00:30:55.480 --> 00:30:56.220
 My investment

00:30:56.220 --> 00:30:56.599
 broker

00:30:56.599 --> 00:30:57.819
 would still

00:30:57.819 --> 00:30:58.119
 know my

00:30:58.119 --> 00:30:58.659
 first name.

00:30:59.879 --> 00:31:00.379
 That was my

00:31:00.379 --> 00:31:00.659
 plan.

00:31:02.779 --> 00:31:03.460
 That wasn't

00:31:03.460 --> 00:31:03.960
 God's plan.

00:31:07.500 --> 00:31:08.119
 And God

00:31:08.119 --> 00:31:08.539
 wants to

00:31:08.539 --> 00:31:09.319
 satisfy us.

00:31:11.200 --> 00:31:12.079
 But I guess

00:31:12.079 --> 00:31:12.519
 it's John Piper

00:31:12.519 --> 00:31:13.119
 that says that

00:31:13.119 --> 00:31:14.359
 we're most

00:31:14.359 --> 00:31:15.480
 satisfied in life

00:31:15.480 --> 00:31:15.779
 when we're

00:31:15.779 --> 00:31:16.519
 satisfied in him

00:31:16.519 --> 00:31:19.319
 because he's

00:31:19.319 --> 00:31:19.879
 doing things.

00:31:19.960 --> 00:31:20.939
 He cares for us

00:31:20.939 --> 00:31:22.259
 and we think

00:31:22.259 --> 00:31:22.939
 we know everything.

00:31:23.039 --> 00:31:23.220
 We're like

00:31:23.220 --> 00:31:23.659
 petulant

00:31:23.659 --> 00:31:24.259
 two-year-olds.

00:31:24.879 --> 00:31:25.579
 I want my

00:31:25.579 --> 00:31:26.359
 lollipop before

00:31:26.359 --> 00:31:26.759
 bed.

00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:27.879
 I want it.

00:31:27.940 --> 00:31:28.220
 You've already

00:31:28.220 --> 00:31:28.900
 brushed your teeth.

00:31:29.640 --> 00:31:30.220
 Sometimes we get

00:31:30.220 --> 00:31:30.940
 a specific answer

00:31:30.940 --> 00:31:31.359
 like that.

00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:33.420
 Sometimes we don't

00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:34.119
 know the answer

00:31:34.119 --> 00:31:35.000
 but we just have

00:31:35.000 --> 00:31:35.519
 to trust

00:31:35.519 --> 00:31:36.900
 that God is

00:31:36.900 --> 00:31:37.460
 really doing

00:31:37.460 --> 00:31:37.839
 what he's

00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:38.299
 supposed to.

00:31:38.879 --> 00:31:39.440
 George Mayer

00:31:39.440 --> 00:31:39.720
 and I were

00:31:39.720 --> 00:31:40.099
 talking about

00:31:40.099 --> 00:31:40.460
 this after

00:31:40.460 --> 00:31:40.920
 Sunday school

00:31:40.920 --> 00:31:41.319
 a few minutes

00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:41.559
 ago.

00:31:42.599 --> 00:31:42.960
 Where does

00:31:42.960 --> 00:31:43.539
 our view

00:31:43.539 --> 00:31:44.359
 of God

00:31:44.359 --> 00:31:44.900
 as this

00:31:44.900 --> 00:31:45.480
 abusive

00:31:45.480 --> 00:31:46.160
 father

00:31:46.160 --> 00:31:47.980
 come from?

00:31:47.980 --> 00:31:50.620
 and I

00:31:50.620 --> 00:31:51.000
 think I can

00:31:51.000 --> 00:31:51.599
 identify it

00:31:51.599 --> 00:31:51.960
 in my

00:31:51.960 --> 00:31:52.660
 own heart

00:31:52.660 --> 00:31:54.599
 and I

00:31:54.599 --> 00:31:55.019
 think that I

00:31:55.019 --> 00:31:55.759
 turn around

00:31:55.759 --> 00:31:56.920
 and project

00:31:56.920 --> 00:31:57.759
 that on him

00:31:57.759 --> 00:31:58.680
 even though the

00:31:58.680 --> 00:31:59.319
 Bible is nothing

00:31:59.319 --> 00:31:59.839
 but a story

00:31:59.839 --> 00:32:00.360
 of how much

00:32:00.360 --> 00:32:00.960
 he loves

00:32:00.960 --> 00:32:01.420
 and cares

00:32:01.420 --> 00:32:02.000
 for us

00:32:02.000 --> 00:32:03.960
 enough that

00:32:03.960 --> 00:32:04.579
 he sent

00:32:04.579 --> 00:32:05.599
 his son

00:32:05.599 --> 00:32:06.740
 who he was

00:32:06.740 --> 00:32:07.220
 in perfect

00:32:07.220 --> 00:32:07.740
 relationship

00:32:07.740 --> 00:32:08.160
 with.

00:32:08.620 --> 00:32:09.180
 If you have

00:32:09.180 --> 00:32:09.680
 a child

00:32:09.680 --> 00:32:10.299
 if you have

00:32:10.299 --> 00:32:10.759
 a dog

00:32:10.759 --> 00:32:11.140
 that you

00:32:11.140 --> 00:32:11.500
 love

00:32:11.500 --> 00:32:12.279
 if you

00:32:12.279 --> 00:32:12.500
 have a

00:32:12.500 --> 00:32:12.740
 cat

00:32:12.740 --> 00:32:13.059
 that you

00:32:13.059 --> 00:32:13.400
 love

00:32:13.400 --> 00:32:14.480
 you can't

00:32:14.480 --> 00:32:15.059
 imagine

00:32:15.059 --> 00:32:15.980
 sacrificing

00:32:15.980 --> 00:32:16.920
 that thing

00:32:16.920 --> 00:32:18.079
 for much

00:32:18.079 --> 00:32:21.940
 and imagine

00:32:21.940 --> 00:32:22.480
 if there was

00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:23.059
 none of that

00:32:23.059 --> 00:32:23.680
 brokenness

00:32:23.680 --> 00:32:24.079
 and sin

00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:24.359
 in your

00:32:24.359 --> 00:32:24.839
 relationship

00:32:24.839 --> 00:32:25.240
 there was

00:32:25.240 --> 00:32:25.799
 perfect

00:32:25.799 --> 00:32:26.279
 intimacy

00:32:26.279 --> 00:32:29.279
 that's the

00:32:29.279 --> 00:32:29.700
 reality

00:32:29.700 --> 00:32:30.039
 of what

00:32:30.039 --> 00:32:30.660
 Christ sent

00:32:30.660 --> 00:32:31.660
 what Christ

00:32:31.660 --> 00:32:32.380
 being sent

00:32:32.380 --> 00:32:33.839
 to us

00:32:33.839 --> 00:32:34.299
 is

00:32:34.299 --> 00:32:37.380
 and we

00:32:37.380 --> 00:32:37.940
 think that

00:32:37.940 --> 00:32:38.279
 somehow

00:32:38.279 --> 00:32:38.940
 our bad

00:32:38.940 --> 00:32:39.380
 decisions

00:32:39.380 --> 00:32:40.460
 are what

00:32:40.460 --> 00:32:41.220
 are driving

00:32:41.220 --> 00:32:41.680
 God's

00:32:41.680 --> 00:32:42.100
 love for

00:32:42.100 --> 00:32:42.480
 us

00:32:42.480 --> 00:32:44.620
 when God

00:32:44.620 --> 00:32:45.039
 is on

00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:45.579
 about this

00:32:45.579 --> 00:32:46.940
 work in

00:32:46.940 --> 00:32:47.440
 the world

00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:48.299
 that has

00:32:48.299 --> 00:32:48.900
 everything to

00:32:48.900 --> 00:32:49.299
 do with us

00:32:49.299 --> 00:32:49.600
 and has

00:32:49.600 --> 00:32:50.220
 nothing to

00:32:50.220 --> 00:32:50.539
 do with

00:32:50.539 --> 00:32:50.819
 us

00:32:50.819 --> 00:32:52.640
 it contracts

00:32:52.640 --> 00:32:53.339
 all the way

00:32:53.339 --> 00:32:54.019
 to you

00:32:54.019 --> 00:32:55.200
 and it

00:32:55.200 --> 00:32:55.779
 expands

00:32:55.779 --> 00:32:56.440
 into places

00:32:56.440 --> 00:32:56.799
 that are

00:32:56.799 --> 00:32:57.220
 amazing

00:32:57.220 --> 00:32:59.600
 and that's

00:32:59.600 --> 00:32:59.880
 the third

00:32:59.880 --> 00:33:00.279
 place

00:33:00.279 --> 00:33:01.059
 third thing

00:33:01.059 --> 00:33:01.339
 I think

00:33:01.339 --> 00:33:01.819
 we can see

00:33:01.819 --> 00:33:02.220
 from this

00:33:02.220 --> 00:33:02.720
 passage

00:33:02.720 --> 00:33:05.579
 Jesus

00:33:05.579 --> 00:33:06.220
 shows us

00:33:06.220 --> 00:33:06.420
 something

00:33:06.420 --> 00:33:07.180
 really unique

00:33:07.180 --> 00:33:07.539
 here

00:33:07.539 --> 00:33:13.119
 we're

00:33:13.119 --> 00:33:13.220
 going to

00:33:13.220 --> 00:33:13.399
 get to

00:33:13.399 --> 00:33:13.659
 the third

00:33:13.659 --> 00:33:13.879
 point

00:33:13.879 --> 00:33:14.059
 in a

00:33:14.059 --> 00:33:14.319
 second

00:33:14.319 --> 00:33:15.639
 I like

00:33:15.639 --> 00:33:15.799
 this

00:33:15.799 --> 00:33:16.079
 because

00:33:16.079 --> 00:33:16.420
 he

00:33:16.420 --> 00:33:17.079
 he

00:33:17.079 --> 00:33:17.379
 talks

00:33:17.379 --> 00:33:17.720
 about

00:33:17.720 --> 00:33:18.879
 what

00:33:18.879 --> 00:33:19.059
 he

00:33:19.059 --> 00:33:19.420
 does

00:33:19.420 --> 00:33:19.599
 in

00:33:19.599 --> 00:33:20.220
 516

00:33:20.220 --> 00:33:20.740
 he

00:33:20.740 --> 00:33:21.279
 withdraws

00:33:21.279 --> 00:33:21.399
 to

00:33:21.399 --> 00:33:21.740
 desolate

00:33:21.740 --> 00:33:22.279
 places

00:33:22.279 --> 00:33:22.859
 and pray

00:33:22.859 --> 00:33:24.559
 and this

00:33:24.559 --> 00:33:24.940
 is setting

00:33:24.940 --> 00:33:25.319
 up the

00:33:25.319 --> 00:33:25.500
 third

00:33:25.500 --> 00:33:25.819
 point

00:33:25.819 --> 00:33:28.079
 Jesus

00:33:28.079 --> 00:33:28.779
 needs

00:33:28.779 --> 00:33:29.579
 that

00:33:29.579 --> 00:33:29.920
 intimacy

00:33:29.920 --> 00:33:30.200
 with

00:33:30.200 --> 00:33:30.359
 his

00:33:30.359 --> 00:33:30.680
 father

00:33:30.680 --> 00:33:32.680
 and this

00:33:32.680 --> 00:33:33.000
 is something

00:33:33.000 --> 00:33:33.640
 he's showing

00:33:33.640 --> 00:33:34.380
 to us

00:33:34.380 --> 00:33:35.539
 about the

00:33:35.539 --> 00:33:35.940
 way that

00:33:35.940 --> 00:33:36.779
 we commune

00:33:36.779 --> 00:33:37.799
 with God

00:33:37.799 --> 00:33:38.519
 in our

00:33:38.519 --> 00:33:38.960
 need for

00:33:38.960 --> 00:33:39.400
 prayer

00:33:39.400 --> 00:33:41.240
 because our

00:33:41.240 --> 00:33:41.720
 prayer so

00:33:41.720 --> 00:33:42.440
 often starts

00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:42.960
 out with

00:33:42.960 --> 00:33:43.400
 God

00:33:43.400 --> 00:33:45.160
 I've got a

00:33:45.160 --> 00:33:45.900
 chance to

00:33:45.900 --> 00:33:47.759
 sell four

00:33:47.759 --> 00:33:48.360
 fire trucks

00:33:48.360 --> 00:33:48.700
 today

00:33:48.700 --> 00:33:50.880
 I really want

00:33:50.880 --> 00:33:51.299
 this deal to

00:33:51.299 --> 00:33:51.740
 go through

00:33:51.740 --> 00:33:52.180
 it would be

00:33:52.180 --> 00:33:52.640
 awesome for

00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:53.240
 me and

00:33:53.240 --> 00:33:53.580
 Sarah and

00:33:53.580 --> 00:33:53.960
 the kids

00:33:53.960 --> 00:33:55.279
 and please

00:33:55.279 --> 00:33:55.519
 make it

00:33:55.519 --> 00:33:55.759
 happen

00:33:55.759 --> 00:33:57.580
 or

00:33:57.580 --> 00:33:59.500
 God I've

00:33:59.500 --> 00:33:59.700
 got to

00:33:59.700 --> 00:34:00.100
 preach this

00:34:00.100 --> 00:34:00.400
 morning

00:34:00.400 --> 00:34:00.920
 I hope

00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:01.180
 I don't

00:34:01.180 --> 00:34:01.519
 sound like

00:34:01.519 --> 00:34:01.860
 an idiot

00:34:01.860 --> 00:34:02.600
 please

00:34:02.600 --> 00:34:06.400
 fill in

00:34:06.400 --> 00:34:06.720
 the blank

00:34:06.720 --> 00:34:07.000
 of how

00:34:07.000 --> 00:34:07.320
 our prayers

00:34:07.320 --> 00:34:07.800
 start that

00:34:07.800 --> 00:34:08.059
 way

00:34:08.059 --> 00:34:10.019
 God I

00:34:10.019 --> 00:34:10.300
 just

00:34:10.300 --> 00:34:11.380
 I know

00:34:11.380 --> 00:34:11.860
 my kid's

00:34:11.860 --> 00:34:12.160
 been out

00:34:12.160 --> 00:34:12.460
 drinking

00:34:12.460 --> 00:34:13.039
 all weekend

00:34:13.039 --> 00:34:14.079
 and I

00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:14.579
 can't

00:34:14.579 --> 00:34:15.420
 figure out

00:34:15.420 --> 00:34:15.720
 how I'm

00:34:15.720 --> 00:34:15.900
 going to

00:34:15.900 --> 00:34:16.200
 talk to

00:34:16.200 --> 00:34:16.599
 him about

00:34:16.599 --> 00:34:16.920
 this

00:34:16.920 --> 00:34:17.260
 or her

00:34:17.260 --> 00:34:17.460
 about

00:34:17.460 --> 00:34:17.880
 this

00:34:17.880 --> 00:34:20.440
 God

00:34:20.440 --> 00:34:20.840
 my

00:34:20.840 --> 00:34:21.539
 mom

00:34:21.539 --> 00:34:22.280
 turned

00:34:22.280 --> 00:34:22.619
 the heater

00:34:22.619 --> 00:34:22.960
 up to

00:34:22.960 --> 00:34:23.220
 80

00:34:23.220 --> 00:34:23.700
 for no

00:34:23.700 --> 00:34:23.980
 apparent

00:34:23.980 --> 00:34:24.300
 reason

00:34:24.300 --> 00:34:24.619
 again

00:34:24.619 --> 00:34:24.980
 and mixed

00:34:24.980 --> 00:34:25.280
 all of

00:34:25.280 --> 00:34:25.680
 her pills

00:34:25.680 --> 00:34:25.940
 up

00:34:25.940 --> 00:34:26.340
 and turned

00:34:26.340 --> 00:34:26.720
 the oven

00:34:26.720 --> 00:34:27.119
 on

00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:28.260
 and then

00:34:28.260 --> 00:34:28.579
 she was

00:34:28.579 --> 00:34:28.920
 laying

00:34:28.920 --> 00:34:29.240
 underneath

00:34:29.240 --> 00:34:29.539
 of the

00:34:29.539 --> 00:34:29.800
 couch

00:34:29.800 --> 00:34:30.140
 on the

00:34:30.140 --> 00:34:30.480
 porch

00:34:30.480 --> 00:34:31.500
 even

00:34:31.500 --> 00:34:31.780
 though she

00:34:31.780 --> 00:34:32.160
 can barely

00:34:32.160 --> 00:34:32.680
 get up

00:34:32.680 --> 00:34:34.900
 and that

00:34:34.900 --> 00:34:35.260
 was even

00:34:35.260 --> 00:34:35.860
 before I

00:34:35.860 --> 00:34:36.160
 had to

00:34:36.160 --> 00:34:36.680
 start talking

00:34:36.680 --> 00:34:37.120
 to her

00:34:37.120 --> 00:34:37.780
 and trying

00:34:37.780 --> 00:34:38.000
 to get

00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:38.360
 through that

00:34:38.360 --> 00:34:38.780
 line of

00:34:38.780 --> 00:34:39.320
 communication

00:34:39.320 --> 00:34:43.660
 you know

00:34:43.660 --> 00:34:44.240
 we pray

00:34:44.240 --> 00:34:44.500
 about

00:34:44.500 --> 00:34:44.980
 things

00:34:44.980 --> 00:34:45.740
 so

00:34:45.740 --> 00:34:46.220
 centered

00:34:46.220 --> 00:34:47.000
 on us

00:34:47.000 --> 00:34:48.539
 that

00:34:48.539 --> 00:34:49.400
 we

00:34:49.400 --> 00:34:50.120
 forget

00:34:50.120 --> 00:34:51.019
 about

00:34:51.019 --> 00:34:51.780
 Christ's

00:34:51.780 --> 00:34:52.080
 call on

00:34:52.080 --> 00:34:52.559
 our hearts

00:34:52.559 --> 00:34:54.140
 and we

00:34:54.140 --> 00:34:54.559
 forget about

00:34:54.559 --> 00:34:55.059
 the care

00:34:55.059 --> 00:34:55.500
 that he's

00:34:55.500 --> 00:34:55.840
 actually

00:34:55.840 --> 00:34:56.340
 showing

00:34:56.340 --> 00:34:56.900
 us

00:34:56.900 --> 00:34:58.460
 and promised

00:34:58.460 --> 00:34:58.940
 to show

00:34:58.940 --> 00:34:59.320
 us

00:34:59.320 --> 00:35:00.019
 in these

00:35:00.019 --> 00:35:00.640
 situations

00:35:00.639 --> 00:35:03.659
 and we

00:35:03.659 --> 00:35:03.940
 forget

00:35:03.940 --> 00:35:04.400
 about

00:35:04.400 --> 00:35:04.980
 his

00:35:04.980 --> 00:35:05.519
 cause

00:35:05.519 --> 00:35:06.299
 in the

00:35:06.299 --> 00:35:06.679
 world

00:35:06.679 --> 00:35:09.599
 because

00:35:09.599 --> 00:35:10.119
 our

00:35:10.119 --> 00:35:11.259
 minutia

00:35:11.259 --> 00:35:13.039
 and that's

00:35:13.039 --> 00:35:13.379
 point three

00:35:13.379 --> 00:35:13.659
 go ahead

00:35:13.659 --> 00:35:13.900
 Blake

00:35:13.900 --> 00:35:15.839
 the minutia

00:35:15.839 --> 00:35:16.920
 in our

00:35:16.920 --> 00:35:18.779
 lives

00:35:18.779 --> 00:35:20.299
 are so

00:35:20.299 --> 00:35:20.960
 big

00:35:20.960 --> 00:35:22.119
 and so

00:35:22.119 --> 00:35:22.779
 real to

00:35:22.779 --> 00:35:23.199
 us

00:35:23.199 --> 00:35:25.179
 and I

00:35:25.179 --> 00:35:25.579
 said that

00:35:25.579 --> 00:35:25.879
 very

00:35:25.879 --> 00:35:26.480
 specifically

00:35:26.480 --> 00:35:26.879
 I said

00:35:26.879 --> 00:35:27.539
 minutia

00:35:27.539 --> 00:35:28.619
 because

00:35:28.619 --> 00:35:29.300
 as

00:35:29.300 --> 00:35:30.239
 the cause

00:35:30.239 --> 00:35:30.679
 of Christ

00:35:30.679 --> 00:35:31.400
 is expanding

00:35:31.400 --> 00:35:31.820
 in our

00:35:31.820 --> 00:35:32.320
 minds

00:35:32.320 --> 00:35:33.360
 it feels

00:35:33.360 --> 00:35:33.779
 like

00:35:33.779 --> 00:35:34.480
 what's

00:35:34.480 --> 00:35:34.800
 going on

00:35:34.800 --> 00:35:35.300
 with me

00:35:35.300 --> 00:35:36.639
 must not

00:35:36.639 --> 00:35:37.079
 really matter

00:35:37.079 --> 00:35:37.480
 that much

00:35:37.480 --> 00:35:37.679
 in the

00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:38.079
 grand scheme

00:35:38.079 --> 00:35:38.559
 of things

00:35:38.559 --> 00:35:41.400
 but the

00:35:41.400 --> 00:35:42.239
 reality is

00:35:42.239 --> 00:35:43.239
 that Christ

00:35:43.239 --> 00:35:44.239
 cares so

00:35:44.239 --> 00:35:44.800
 much

00:35:44.800 --> 00:35:46.199
 that he

00:35:46.199 --> 00:35:47.079
 pursues

00:35:47.079 --> 00:35:48.679
 even us

00:35:48.679 --> 00:35:49.119
 in those

00:35:49.119 --> 00:35:49.639
 moments

00:35:49.639 --> 00:35:51.800
 for you

00:35:51.800 --> 00:35:52.239
 to know

00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:53.279
 that he's

00:35:53.279 --> 00:35:53.619
 there with

00:35:53.619 --> 00:35:53.920
 you

00:35:53.920 --> 00:35:56.920
 that he's

00:35:56.920 --> 00:35:57.320
 experienced

00:35:57.320 --> 00:35:57.780
 every kind

00:35:57.780 --> 00:35:58.320
 of temptation

00:35:58.320 --> 00:35:58.700
 and every

00:35:58.700 --> 00:35:59.019
 kind of

00:35:59.019 --> 00:35:59.680
 brokenness

00:35:59.680 --> 00:36:00.900
 and that

00:36:00.900 --> 00:36:01.400
 little thing

00:36:01.400 --> 00:36:01.720
 that you're

00:36:01.720 --> 00:36:02.280
 dealing with

00:36:02.280 --> 00:36:02.880
 matters to

00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:03.140
 him

00:36:03.140 --> 00:36:05.080
 it matters

00:36:05.080 --> 00:36:05.340
 to him

00:36:05.340 --> 00:36:05.740
 because he

00:36:05.740 --> 00:36:06.180
 loves you

00:36:06.180 --> 00:36:06.980
 it matters

00:36:06.980 --> 00:36:07.420
 to him

00:36:07.420 --> 00:36:08.580
 because he's

00:36:08.580 --> 00:36:09.100
 on about

00:36:09.100 --> 00:36:10.080
 this huge

00:36:10.080 --> 00:36:10.559
 work in

00:36:10.559 --> 00:36:10.980
 the world

00:36:10.980 --> 00:36:11.539
 what did he

00:36:11.539 --> 00:36:12.160
 come to do

00:36:12.160 --> 00:36:13.140
 we've seen

00:36:13.140 --> 00:36:13.519
 it earlier

00:36:13.519 --> 00:36:14.000
 here in

00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:14.300
 Luke

00:36:14.300 --> 00:36:15.960
 a couple

00:36:15.960 --> 00:36:16.539
 weeks ago

00:36:16.539 --> 00:36:17.160
 I must

00:36:17.160 --> 00:36:17.539
 preach the

00:36:17.539 --> 00:36:18.160
 good news

00:36:18.160 --> 00:36:18.900
 of the

00:36:18.900 --> 00:36:19.260
 kingdom of

00:36:19.260 --> 00:36:19.539
 God in

00:36:19.539 --> 00:36:20.080
 other towns

00:36:20.080 --> 00:36:20.559
 as well

00:36:20.559 --> 00:36:20.800
 because I

00:36:20.800 --> 00:36:21.100
 was sent

00:36:21.100 --> 00:36:21.620
 for this

00:36:21.620 --> 00:36:22.559
 remember what

00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:22.920
 the angel

00:36:22.920 --> 00:36:23.300
 said to

00:36:23.300 --> 00:36:23.620
 Mary

00:36:23.620 --> 00:36:25.080
 he'll be

00:36:25.080 --> 00:36:25.480
 great

00:36:25.480 --> 00:36:25.900
 and he'll

00:36:25.900 --> 00:36:26.220
 be called

00:36:26.220 --> 00:36:26.600
 the son of

00:36:26.600 --> 00:36:26.880
 the most

00:36:26.880 --> 00:36:27.280
 high

00:36:27.280 --> 00:36:27.820
 and the

00:36:27.820 --> 00:36:28.180
 Lord God

00:36:28.180 --> 00:36:28.460
 will give

00:36:28.460 --> 00:36:28.680
 him the

00:36:28.680 --> 00:36:28.940
 throne of

00:36:28.940 --> 00:36:29.300
 his father

00:36:29.300 --> 00:36:29.660
 David

00:36:29.660 --> 00:36:30.000
 and he'll

00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:30.500
 reign over

00:36:30.500 --> 00:36:30.900
 the house

00:36:30.900 --> 00:36:31.320
 of Jacob

00:36:31.320 --> 00:36:31.880
 forever

00:36:31.880 --> 00:36:32.619
 and of

00:36:32.619 --> 00:36:33.019
 his kingdom

00:36:33.019 --> 00:36:33.400
 there will

00:36:33.400 --> 00:36:33.840
 be no

00:36:33.840 --> 00:36:34.240
 end

00:36:34.240 --> 00:36:36.619
 and then

00:36:36.619 --> 00:36:37.240
 he read a

00:36:37.240 --> 00:36:37.660
 prophecy

00:36:37.660 --> 00:36:38.300
 and then

00:36:38.300 --> 00:36:39.440
 said it was

00:36:39.440 --> 00:36:40.000
 about him

00:36:40.000 --> 00:36:40.320
 in Luke

00:36:40.320 --> 00:36:41.880
 4 as well

00:36:41.880 --> 00:36:46.619
 go to the

00:36:46.619 --> 00:36:46.960
 next slide

00:36:46.960 --> 00:36:47.140
 Blake

00:36:47.139 --> 00:36:49.379
 the spirit

00:36:49.379 --> 00:36:49.400
 the spirit

00:36:49.400 --> 00:36:49.960
 of the Lord

00:36:49.960 --> 00:36:50.420
 is upon

00:36:50.420 --> 00:36:50.719
 me

00:36:50.719 --> 00:36:53.819
 to proclaim

00:36:53.819 --> 00:36:54.400
 good news

00:36:54.400 --> 00:36:54.639
 to the

00:36:54.639 --> 00:36:54.960
 poor

00:36:54.960 --> 00:36:56.779
 he sent

00:36:56.779 --> 00:36:57.039
 me to

00:36:57.039 --> 00:36:57.400
 proclaim

00:36:57.400 --> 00:36:57.839
 liberty

00:36:57.839 --> 00:36:58.199
 to the

00:36:58.199 --> 00:36:58.900
 captives

00:36:58.900 --> 00:37:00.299
 to recover

00:37:00.299 --> 00:37:00.679
 the sight

00:37:00.679 --> 00:37:00.879
 of the

00:37:00.879 --> 00:37:01.279
 blind

00:37:01.279 --> 00:37:02.219
 and to

00:37:02.219 --> 00:37:02.519
 set at

00:37:02.519 --> 00:37:02.739
 liberty

00:37:02.739 --> 00:37:03.259
 those who

00:37:03.259 --> 00:37:03.400
 are

00:37:03.400 --> 00:37:03.879
 oppressed

00:37:03.879 --> 00:37:05.579
 to proclaim

00:37:05.579 --> 00:37:06.019
 the year

00:37:06.019 --> 00:37:06.279
 of the

00:37:06.279 --> 00:37:06.619
 Lord's

00:37:06.619 --> 00:37:06.940
 favor

00:37:06.940 --> 00:37:10.019
 that's his

00:37:10.019 --> 00:37:10.519
 messianic

00:37:10.519 --> 00:37:11.000
 understanding

00:37:11.000 --> 00:37:11.539
 of himself

00:37:11.539 --> 00:37:14.519
 this is

00:37:14.519 --> 00:37:15.000
 Christ's

00:37:15.000 --> 00:37:15.460
 cause in

00:37:15.460 --> 00:37:15.920
 the world

00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:16.579
 to be as

00:37:16.579 --> 00:37:17.099
 big as

00:37:17.099 --> 00:37:17.519
 the king

00:37:17.519 --> 00:37:18.179
 of everything

00:37:18.179 --> 00:37:19.880
 and be

00:37:19.880 --> 00:37:20.259
 the one

00:37:20.259 --> 00:37:20.719
 that walks

00:37:20.719 --> 00:37:21.199
 to you

00:37:21.199 --> 00:37:21.820
 and says

00:37:21.820 --> 00:37:22.599
 I love

00:37:22.599 --> 00:37:22.800
 you

00:37:22.800 --> 00:37:25.579
 I'm

00:37:25.579 --> 00:37:25.759
 going to

00:37:25.759 --> 00:37:26.159
 free you

00:37:26.159 --> 00:37:26.739
 from this

00:37:26.739 --> 00:37:28.639
 I'm

00:37:28.639 --> 00:37:28.800
 going to

00:37:28.800 --> 00:37:29.199
 put you

00:37:29.199 --> 00:37:29.519
 in right

00:37:29.519 --> 00:37:29.840
 communion

00:37:29.840 --> 00:37:30.239
 with your

00:37:30.239 --> 00:37:30.579
 father

00:37:30.579 --> 00:37:32.239
 the

00:37:32.239 --> 00:37:32.739
 linchpin

00:37:32.739 --> 00:37:33.139
 of all

00:37:33.139 --> 00:37:33.539
 of biblical

00:37:33.539 --> 00:37:34.099
 history

00:37:34.099 --> 00:37:36.099
 God promised

00:37:36.099 --> 00:37:36.440
 Abraham

00:37:36.440 --> 00:37:36.779
 he was

00:37:36.779 --> 00:37:36.920
 going to

00:37:36.920 --> 00:37:37.199
 make his

00:37:37.199 --> 00:37:37.400
 people

00:37:37.400 --> 00:37:37.679
 into a

00:37:37.679 --> 00:37:37.920
 great

00:37:37.920 --> 00:37:38.199
 nation

00:37:38.199 --> 00:37:38.539
 and they

00:37:38.539 --> 00:37:38.739
 would

00:37:38.739 --> 00:37:39.199
 bless

00:37:39.199 --> 00:37:39.759
 the

00:37:39.759 --> 00:37:40.440
 world

00:37:40.440 --> 00:37:42.599
 they

00:37:42.599 --> 00:37:42.840
 probably

00:37:42.840 --> 00:37:43.079
 had a

00:37:43.079 --> 00:37:43.320
 different

00:37:43.320 --> 00:37:43.599
 idea

00:37:43.599 --> 00:37:43.860
 of what

00:37:43.860 --> 00:37:44.000
 that

00:37:44.000 --> 00:37:44.200
 might

00:37:44.200 --> 00:37:44.380
 look

00:37:44.380 --> 00:37:44.559
 like

00:37:44.559 --> 00:37:44.960
 also

00:37:44.960 --> 00:37:46.940
 you

00:37:46.940 --> 00:37:47.099
 look

00:37:47.099 --> 00:37:47.240
 through

00:37:47.240 --> 00:37:47.480
 their

00:37:47.480 --> 00:37:47.920
 history

00:37:47.920 --> 00:37:49.039
 adulterous

00:37:49.039 --> 00:37:49.519
 kings

00:37:49.519 --> 00:37:51.200
 bad

00:37:51.200 --> 00:37:51.639
 judges

00:37:51.639 --> 00:37:53.700
 whole

00:37:53.700 --> 00:37:56.079
 generations

00:37:56.079 --> 00:37:56.659
 of people

00:37:56.659 --> 00:37:57.079
 who turned

00:37:57.079 --> 00:37:57.500
 their back

00:37:57.500 --> 00:37:58.039
 on God

00:37:58.039 --> 00:37:59.360
 despite a

00:37:59.360 --> 00:37:59.720
 few who

00:37:59.720 --> 00:38:00.019
 wanted to

00:38:00.019 --> 00:38:00.300
 keep the

00:38:00.300 --> 00:38:00.559
 covenant

00:38:00.559 --> 00:38:04.200
 Deuteronomy

00:38:04.200 --> 00:38:04.700
 talks about

00:38:04.700 --> 00:38:05.059
 the same

00:38:05.059 --> 00:38:05.320
 thing

00:38:05.320 --> 00:38:05.700
 the people

00:38:05.700 --> 00:38:06.260
 of God

00:38:06.260 --> 00:38:06.980
 I'm

00:38:06.980 --> 00:38:07.579
 going to

00:38:07.579 --> 00:38:08.179
 make a

00:38:08.179 --> 00:38:08.519
 blessing

00:38:08.519 --> 00:38:08.900
 to the

00:38:08.900 --> 00:38:09.300
 nations

00:38:09.300 --> 00:38:11.100
 we

00:38:11.100 --> 00:38:11.440
 can't

00:38:11.440 --> 00:38:11.660
 do

00:38:11.660 --> 00:38:11.800
 it

00:38:11.800 --> 00:38:11.940
 we

00:38:11.940 --> 00:38:12.539
 failed

00:38:12.539 --> 00:38:13.260
 every

00:38:13.260 --> 00:38:13.780
 step

00:38:13.780 --> 00:38:14.000
 of the

00:38:14.000 --> 00:38:14.360
 way

00:38:14.360 --> 00:38:15.780
 but

00:38:15.780 --> 00:38:16.120
 God

00:38:16.120 --> 00:38:16.460
 kept

00:38:16.460 --> 00:38:16.680
 his

00:38:16.680 --> 00:38:17.120
 promise

00:38:17.120 --> 00:38:17.500
 in

00:38:17.500 --> 00:38:18.000
 Christ

00:38:18.000 --> 00:38:19.460
 to

00:38:19.460 --> 00:38:19.960
 you

00:38:19.960 --> 00:38:20.920
 individually

00:38:20.920 --> 00:38:22.660
 he's

00:38:22.660 --> 00:38:22.900
 keeping

00:38:22.900 --> 00:38:23.039
 it

00:38:23.039 --> 00:38:23.140
 to

00:38:23.140 --> 00:38:23.320
 the

00:38:23.320 --> 00:38:23.920
 world

00:38:23.920 --> 00:38:24.340
 that's

00:38:24.340 --> 00:38:24.640
 that's

00:38:24.640 --> 00:38:24.800
 the

00:38:24.800 --> 00:38:25.120
 scope

00:38:25.120 --> 00:38:25.280
 of

00:38:25.280 --> 00:38:25.440
 what

00:38:25.440 --> 00:38:25.700
 Jesus

00:38:25.700 --> 00:38:25.940

 has

00:38:43.460 --> 00:38:43.760
 more

00:38:43.760 --> 00:38:44.020
 to

 do

 with

 your

00:38:50.500 --> 00:38:51.320
 faithfulness

00:38:51.320 --> 00:38:51.680
 and

00:38:51.680 --> 00:38:52.000
 not

00:38:52.000 --> 00:38:52.520
 sinning

00:38:52.520 --> 00:38:53.180
 the

00:38:53.180 --> 00:38:53.700
 mortification

00:38:53.700 --> 00:38:54.080
 of the

00:38:54.080 --> 00:38:54.440
 flesh

00:38:54.440 --> 00:38:54.740
 is the

00:38:54.740 --> 00:38:54.860
 way

00:38:54.860 --> 00:38:55.020
 that

 Paul

00:38:55.300 --> 00:38:55.620
 words

00:38:55.620 --> 00:38:55.820
 it

00:38:55.820 --> 00:38:57.080

 we

00:38:57.220 --> 00:38:57.400
 get

00:38:57.400 --> 00:38:57.860
 bogged

00:38:57.860 --> 00:38:58.100
 down

00:38:58.100 --> 00:38:58.260
 in

00:38:58.260 --> 00:38:58.460
 this

00:38:58.460 --> 00:38:58.960
 idea

00:38:58.960 --> 00:38:59.520
 that

00:38:59.520 --> 00:38:59.800
 God

00:38:59.800 --> 00:39:00.100
 wants

00:39:00.100 --> 00:39:00.280
 us

00:39:00.280 --> 00:39:00.780
 walking

00:39:00.780 --> 00:39:00.960
 on

00:39:00.960 --> 00:39:01.080
 our

00:39:01.080 --> 00:39:01.280
 knees

00:39:01.280 --> 00:39:01.440
 up

 stairs

00:39:01.820 --> 00:39:02.020
 and

00:39:02.020 --> 00:39:02.480
 flogging

00:39:02.480 --> 00:39:03.080
 ourselves

00:39:03.079 --> 00:39:06.119
 your

00:39:06.119 --> 00:39:06.920
 holy

00:39:06.920 --> 00:39:07.719
 response

00:39:07.719 --> 00:39:08.400
 to the

00:39:08.400 --> 00:39:08.900
 righteousness

00:39:08.900 --> 00:39:09.679
 given to

00:39:09.679 --> 00:39:09.900
 us

00:39:09.900 --> 00:39:10.119
 by

00:39:10.119 --> 00:39:10.699
 Christ

00:39:10.699 --> 00:39:12.480
 is

00:39:12.480 --> 00:39:12.779
 out

00:39:12.779 --> 00:39:13.039
 of an

00:39:13.039 --> 00:39:13.599
 understanding

00:39:13.599 --> 00:39:13.860
 of

00:39:13.860 --> 00:39:14.059
 what

00:39:14.059 --> 00:39:14.299
 he's

00:39:14.299 --> 00:39:14.480
 done

00:39:14.480 --> 00:39:14.699
 for

00:39:14.699 --> 00:39:15.119
 you

00:39:15.119 --> 00:39:16.639
 and

00:39:16.639 --> 00:39:16.900
 what

00:39:16.900 --> 00:39:17.219
 he's

00:39:17.219 --> 00:39:17.500
 doing

00:39:17.500 --> 00:39:17.719
 in

00:39:17.719 --> 00:39:17.880
 the

00:39:17.880 --> 00:39:18.519
 world

00:39:18.519 --> 00:39:20.519
 that

00:39:20.519 --> 00:39:20.819
 bit

00:39:20.819 --> 00:39:21.000
 of

00:39:21.000 --> 00:39:21.579
 faithfulness

00:39:21.579 --> 00:39:21.739
 to

00:39:21.739 --> 00:39:21.920
 your

00:39:21.920 --> 00:39:22.340
 children

00:39:22.340 --> 00:39:22.759
 when

00:39:22.759 --> 00:39:22.920
 you're

00:39:22.920 --> 00:39:23.139
 putting

00:39:23.139 --> 00:39:23.340
 them

00:39:23.340 --> 00:39:23.539
 to

00:39:23.539 --> 00:39:23.799
 bed

00:39:23.799 --> 00:39:24.000
 at

00:39:24.000 --> 00:39:24.299
 night

00:39:24.299 --> 00:39:25.019
 plays

00:39:25.019 --> 00:39:25.500
 into

00:39:25.500 --> 00:39:26.000
 God

00:39:26.000 --> 00:39:27.059
 redeeming

00:39:27.059 --> 00:39:27.980
 everything

00:39:27.980 --> 00:39:28.579
 to

00:39:28.579 --> 00:39:29.119
 himself

00:39:29.119 --> 00:39:29.380
 through

00:39:29.380 --> 00:39:29.799
 Christ

00:39:29.799 --> 00:39:32.819
 that's

00:39:32.820 --> 00:39:33.080
 what your

00:39:33.080 --> 00:39:33.620
 faithfulness

00:39:33.620 --> 00:39:34.000
 means

00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:37.180
 students

00:39:37.180 --> 00:39:37.360
 your

00:39:37.360 --> 00:39:37.700
 parents

00:39:37.700 --> 00:39:38.000
 aren't

00:39:38.000 --> 00:39:38.320
 harping

00:39:38.320 --> 00:39:38.620
 on you

00:39:38.620 --> 00:39:38.900
 about

00:39:38.900 --> 00:39:39.440
 smoking

00:39:39.440 --> 00:39:40.320
 marijuana

00:39:40.320 --> 00:39:40.580
 and

00:39:40.580 --> 00:39:40.960
 drinking

00:39:40.960 --> 00:39:41.720
 because

00:39:41.720 --> 00:39:42.260
 they

00:39:42.260 --> 00:39:42.960
 are

00:39:42.960 --> 00:39:43.280
 worried

00:39:43.280 --> 00:39:43.539
 about

00:39:43.539 --> 00:39:44.000
 anything

00:39:44.000 --> 00:39:44.680
 less

00:39:44.680 --> 00:39:46.160
 than

00:39:46.160 --> 00:39:46.340
 the

00:39:46.340 --> 00:39:46.800
 impact

00:39:46.800 --> 00:39:47.059
 that

00:39:47.059 --> 00:39:47.360
 has

00:39:47.360 --> 00:39:47.500
 on

00:39:47.500 --> 00:39:47.640
 the

00:39:47.640 --> 00:39:47.920
 kingdom

00:39:47.920 --> 00:39:50.360
 that's

00:39:50.360 --> 00:39:50.500
 how

00:39:50.500 --> 00:39:50.720
 big

00:39:50.720 --> 00:39:50.960
 that

00:39:50.960 --> 00:39:51.400
 is

00:39:51.400 --> 00:39:54.559
 and

00:39:54.559 --> 00:39:54.800
 here's

00:39:54.800 --> 00:39:54.940
 the

00:39:54.940 --> 00:39:55.300
 really

00:39:55.300 --> 00:39:55.700
 great

00:39:55.700 --> 00:39:56.000
 news

00:39:56.000 --> 00:39:56.160
 of

 all

00:39:56.360 --> 00:39:56.500
 of

00:39:56.500 --> 00:39:56.660
 it

00:39:56.660 --> 00:39:57.080
 which

00:39:57.080 --> 00:39:57.240
 is

00:39:57.240 --> 00:39:57.539
 why

00:39:57.539 --> 00:39:58.700
 we

00:39:58.700 --> 00:39:58.960
 don't

00:39:58.960 --> 00:39:59.160
 come

00:39:59.160 --> 00:39:59.260
 to

 to

00:40:04.239 --> 00:40:04.579
 remember

00:40:04.579 --> 00:40:04.960
 Christ

00:40:04.960 --> 00:40:05.239
 until

 he

00:40:05.380 --> 00:40:05.619
 comes

 well

00:40:07.199 --> 00:40:07.400
 what's

00:40:07.400 --> 00:40:07.500
 the

00:40:07.500 --> 00:40:07.900
 implication

00:40:07.900 --> 00:40:08.079
 of

00:40:08.079 --> 00:40:08.179
 the

 Christ

00:40:08.780 --> 00:40:10.719
 he

00:40:10.719 --> 00:40:11.219
 died

00:40:11.219 --> 00:40:11.400
 and

00:40:11.400 --> 00:40:11.679
 a lot

00:40:11.679 --> 00:40:11.780
 of

00:40:11.780 --> 00:40:12.019
 times

00:40:12.019 --> 00:40:12.159
 we

00:40:12.159 --> 00:40:12.460
 sit

00:40:12.460 --> 00:40:12.659
 there

00:40:12.659 --> 00:40:12.759
 and

00:40:12.759 --> 00:40:12.940
 we

00:40:12.940 --> 00:40:13.239
 hang

00:40:13.239 --> 00:40:13.460
 our

00:40:13.460 --> 00:40:13.840
 heads

00:40:13.840 --> 00:40:14.300
 because

00:40:14.300 --> 00:40:14.820
 our

00:40:14.820 --> 00:40:15.280
 sin

00:40:15.280 --> 00:40:15.739
 like

00:40:15.739 --> 00:40:15.880
 we

00:40:15.880 --> 00:40:16.059
 read

00:40:16.059 --> 00:40:16.340
 David

00:40:16.340 --> 00:40:16.539
 in

 Psalm

00:40:16.699 --> 00:40:17.079
 51

00:40:17.079 --> 00:40:17.320
 our

00:40:17.320 --> 00:40:17.480
 sin

00:40:17.480 --> 00:40:17.639
 is

00:40:17.639 --> 00:40:17.840
 so

00:40:17.840 --> 00:40:18.380
 grievous

00:40:18.380 --> 00:40:19.539
 and

00:40:19.539 --> 00:40:19.679
 we

00:40:19.679 --> 00:40:20.099
 feel

00:40:20.099 --> 00:40:20.300
 it

00:40:20.300 --> 00:40:22.079
 and

00:40:22.079 --> 00:40:22.300
 the

00:40:22.300 --> 00:40:22.579
 reason

 guilt

00:40:23.320 --> 00:40:23.539
 and

00:40:23.539 --> 00:40:23.860
 shame

00:40:40.420 --> 00:40:40.780
 communion

00:40:44.259 --> 00:40:44.480
 the

00:40:44.480 --> 00:40:45.099
 best

00:40:45.099 --> 00:40:45.659
 thing

00:40:45.659 --> 00:40:45.840
 that

00:40:45.840 --> 00:40:45.980
 could

00:40:45.980 --> 00:40:46.079
 have

00:40:46.079 --> 00:40:46.280
 ever

00:40:46.280 --> 00:40:46.679
 happened

 to

00:40:46.880 --> 00:40:47.239
 us

00:40:47.239 --> 00:40:47.840

00:40:47.840 --> 00:40:48.340
 reached

00:40:48.340 --> 00:40:48.719
 down

00:40:48.719 --> 00:40:48.940
 to

00:40:48.940 --> 00:40:49.259
 us

00:40:49.259 --> 00:40:49.579
 who

00:40:49.579 --> 00:40:49.780
 had

00:40:49.780 --> 00:40:50.559
 ostracized

00:40:50.559 --> 00:40:50.900
 ourselves

00:40:50.900 --> 00:40:51.119
 from

00:40:51.119 --> 00:40:51.519
 God

00:40:51.519 --> 00:40:52.420
 we

00:40:52.420 --> 00:40:52.679
 made

00:40:52.679 --> 00:40:53.039
 ourselves

00:40:53.039 --> 00:40:53.500
 lovers

00:40:56.599 --> 00:40:56.780
 do

00:40:56.780 --> 00:40:56.960
 that

00:40:56.960 --> 00:40:57.139
 we

00:40:57.139 --> 00:40:57.360
 did

00:40:57.360 --> 00:40:57.679
 that

00:40:57.679 --> 00:40:59.039
 this

00:40:59.039 --> 00:40:59.420
 table

00:40:59.420 --> 00:40:59.960

00:40:59.960 --> 00:41:00.099
 an

00:41:00.099 --> 00:41:00.619
 amazing

00:41:00.619 --> 00:41:01.159
 thing

00:41:01.159 --> 00:41:01.699
 because

00:41:01.699 --> 00:41:01.880
 it

00:41:01.880 --> 00:41:02.139
 tells

 us

00:41:02.320 --> 00:41:02.679
 about

00:41:05.599 --> 00:41:05.739
 the

00:41:05.739 --> 00:41:06.259
 implications

00:41:06.259 --> 00:41:06.519
 of

00:41:06.519 --> 00:41:06.759
 what

00:41:06.759 --> 00:41:07.019
 that

00:41:07.019 --> 00:41:07.340
 means

00:41:07.340 --> 00:41:07.559
 for

00:41:08.599 --> 00:41:08.880
 as

00:41:08.880 --> 00:41:09.119
 much

00:41:09.119 --> 00:41:09.300
 as

00:41:09.300 --> 00:41:09.739
 representing

00:41:09.739 --> 00:41:09.960
 the

00:41:09.960 --> 00:41:10.279
 death

00:41:10.279 --> 00:41:10.420
 and

00:41:10.420 --> 00:41:10.599
 our

00:41:10.599 --> 00:41:10.980
 sin

00:41:12.199 --> 00:41:12.519
 more

00:41:12.519 --> 00:41:12.739

 to

00:41:18.519 --> 00:41:18.679
 be

00:41:18.679 --> 00:41:18.920
 with

00:41:18.920 --> 00:41:19.199

 practice

00:41:23.099 --> 00:41:23.759
 for

00:41:24.380 --> 00:41:25.699
 together

00:41:25.699 --> 00:41:28.840
 it's
