So let's continue to worship Our

27
00:10:22,700 --> 00:10:34,600
God this morning.

Everybody.
Just close.

35
00:15:01,100 --> 00:15:04,400
Our eyes are focusing on.
Jesus, says he the author and

36
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,600
the finisher of our faith of the
chorus of the song says that he

37
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:12,600
has broken Every Chain by his
work on the cross, it's already

38
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,000
finished.
So, any prison cell that we're

39
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,200
still sitting in any chain that
still together?

40
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:22,300
Because we chose to be in there
today, but Jesus said, no my

41
00:15:22,300 --> 00:15:24,300
work on the cross.
It is finished, I broke.

42
00:15:24,400 --> 00:16:47,100
Ditto.
Let's give it up for Jesus this

43
00:16:47,100 --> 00:16:50,800

We've got a small gift for you.
We'd love to hear your story.

81
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,000
Would love to share a little bit
about who we are and where we're

82
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,900
going and really that flows out
again our mission.

83
00:18:57,900 --> 00:19:01,200
Our mission is to love people.
See people far from God discover

84
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,200
the real life of purpose in
Jesus because we know people,

85
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,000
here's the honest truth.
Not everybody walks in here

86
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,800
today on, and on a Sunday and
Sunday by Sunday basis.

87
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,400
In a good spot.
People walk in here broken,

88
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,600
they're hurting.
They've lost a family member,

89
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,400
they've lost a relationship.
They've lost a job, and they're

90
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,000
walking, and they're looking for
hope.

91
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,300
We know that God's got something
for a minute.

92
00:19:21,300 --> 00:19:23,700
There's prodigals constantly
searching to come back home

93
00:19:23,700 --> 00:19:26,300
because they don't have any
place else to go in the church.

94
00:19:26,300 --> 00:19:28,300
Should be the spot where they
can come back into.

95
00:19:28,700 --> 00:19:31,900
And we just love that we do that
here and we're really going to

96
00:19:31,900 --> 00:19:33,300
encourage you through our next
message.

97
00:19:33,300 --> 00:19:37,400
Here is because too often Ian,
we count the people that just

98
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,500
show up on a Sunday and we love
everybody shows up but we don't

99
00:19:40,500 --> 00:19:42,400
count the empty seats.
We don't count.

100
00:19:42,500 --> 00:19:44,400
Who's not here.
The opportunities that people

101
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,100
are missing just to get
connected with what?

102
00:19:46,100 --> 00:19:49,100
God's God, because God is
searching for that.

103
00:19:49,100 --> 00:19:52,700
Prodigal guys going to cross
every life he can and has to

104
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,900
bring that person home.
So, as Pastor Sean comes up

00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,300
here, have to just call it out
over here.

113
00:20:21,500 --> 00:20:24,100
So Randy, this is your idea of
this shirt.

114
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,900
Your idea, like, every great
relationship.

115
00:20:29,500 --> 00:20:31,800
That's right.
I love it.

116
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,300
It's so it's sure it says, 11:15
errs, because I'm totally late

117
00:20:35,300 --> 00:20:37,900
every every second Gathering.
And the back says, come on

118
00:20:37,900 --> 00:20:40,600
somebody.
So come on, give it up for these

119
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:45,700
guys, amazing.
And it comes just for me and

120
00:20:45,700 --> 00:20:47,200
they leave right after the
message, you know?

121
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:52,300
So it's exactly what it is.
And yes, oh man, well, I got a

122
00:20:52,308 --> 00:20:54,500
question for you guys.
Have you ever wanted something

123
00:20:54,500 --> 00:20:57,100
so bad?
You stop at nothing to get it.

124
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:58,900
Every one of those things in
life.

125
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,200
This is gonna sound really vain.
But when I was 14, I want

126
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,500
nothing, but those Doc Martens
shoes, you know?

127
00:21:03,508 --> 00:21:06,300
I'm talking about over that in
just a half thick sole, right?

128
00:21:06,300 --> 00:21:08,000
And it take like a lifetime to
wear through.

129
00:21:08,300 --> 00:21:11,200
And at the time I was throwing
newspapers for the Raytown

130
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,200
Tribune is a very popular
newspaper.

131
00:21:17,300 --> 00:21:20,800
Yeah, Jerry knows, right.
And so yeah here yeah, we go the

132
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,900
roots, go back, right?
And so my mom and her father's

133
00:21:24,900 --> 00:21:27,300
life, Well they're in this
business forever so there's like

134
00:21:27,300 --> 00:21:29,900
a good newspaper job and so you
basically through all these

135
00:21:29,900 --> 00:21:32,500
papers couple thousand a week
and just go around and go door

136
00:21:32,500 --> 00:21:35,100
to door and beg for money for
people to enroll the newspaper.

137
00:21:35,100 --> 00:21:37,300
Begin with, right?
And so I'm collecting quarters,

138
00:21:37,300 --> 00:21:40,800
basically house to house.
This is like, just called School

139
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,000
of Hard Knocks apparently.
And so I clicked all those

140
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:44,800
quarters thinking, man, I'm
going to get these Doc Martens

141
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,300
and just saved and saved.
And my mom surprised me that

142
00:21:47,300 --> 00:21:50,100
year with Doc Martens brand-new.
My only pair of Doc Martens for

143
00:21:50,100 --> 00:21:52,600
Christmas.
I'm Ruby about $125, which is a

144
00:21:52,608 --> 00:21:54,800
ton of money, and I wore those
shoes.

145
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,000
I wish I Even today by one of
those shoes all the way through

146
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,600
the soul.
That's how much I wore my Doc.

147
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,100
Martens all through high school.
I was dying for those shoes and

148
00:22:01,100 --> 00:22:02,600

right?
We We get so few things it's

169
00:22:53,900 --> 00:22:55,800
like last-minute.
Your kid wants to be that very

170
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,500
special character.
You know, for Halloween is the

171
00:22:58,500 --> 00:23:01,100
day before you travel to every
Halloween store, in Kansas City,

172
00:23:01,100 --> 00:23:03,600

00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,800

00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,000
You know, I'm talking about,

178
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,500
mache or the actual pinata.
So paper, mache to yourself as

179
00:23:17,500 --> 00:23:18,700
parents.
We do crazy stuff for kids,

180
00:23:18,700 --> 00:23:20,700
right?
And so they are really dive into

181
00:23:20,700 --> 00:23:22,600
what looks like to do something
very unique.

182
00:23:22,700 --> 00:23:25,600
A very special to God calls all
of us to do this, but really,

183
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,700
what is to stop at?
Nothing to bring people to

184
00:23:28,700 --> 00:23:31,100
Jesus?
Well, looks like for us to be

185
00:23:31,100 --> 00:23:33,600
all in for this thing called The
Gospel.

186
00:23:33,900 --> 00:23:36,300
What is the live on mission to
be ambassadors for Christ.

187
00:23:36,300 --> 00:23:38,800
And so I'm just inviting you
guys really praying that the

188
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,600
spirit of God do in your life on
this broken hearts.

189
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,900
Broken wheels for thanks of
Christ and the Rally's.

190
00:23:43,900 --> 00:23:47,100
This I'm not doing praying for a
move of God but I'm praying for

191
00:23:47,108 --> 00:23:50,400
a move of God's people today
would be on Mission.

192
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,600
There's next three weeks that we
would be inviting me.

193
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,400
Vesting that we had pour into
our neighbors, our friends, and

194
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,100
bring Jesus, to the courtyards
and into the highways, and

195
00:23:58,100 --> 00:24:01,500
hedges for say, for the cause of
Christ, and God is going to use

196
00:24:01,500 --> 00:24:03,000
you.
And so today, I want to

197
00:24:03,008 --> 00:24:06,600
introduce a story.
A really a powerful story found

198
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,900
the Bible Jesus is talking to
some Pharisees is actually a

199
00:24:09,908 --> 00:24:12,200
dinner with them, which is going
to be important to understand.

200
00:24:12,300 --> 00:24:14,800
And he's next to this prominent
Pharisee, these religious

201
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,500
leaders that being asking
questions to him.

202
00:24:16,500 --> 00:24:19,400
And he answers like this and is
found in Luke chapter. 14, if

203
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,800
you got your Bible, verse 15
says, this one of those The

204
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,100
table with him, heard this, he
said that Jesus, blesses, the

205
00:24:26,100 --> 00:24:28,700
one who will eat at the Feast of
the kingdom of God.

206
00:24:28,700 --> 00:24:31,800
To be a blessing to be with God,
in heaven and Jesus replies and

207
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,900
he says something that's, that's
pretty profound.

208
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,500
It's probably off what they
thought.

209
00:24:36,500 --> 00:24:38,800
The response would be.
He's Jesus parable, the great

210
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,800
feast and so is this a certain
man?

211
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,600
Which is Jesus.
This is a parable, so Jesus was

212
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,800
prepared, great banquet and
invited many a guest.

213
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,400
At the time, the banquet, he
sent his servants to tell those

214
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:52,000
who have been invited should
come for everything is now

215
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,900
ready.
When the plates are set out, the

216
00:24:53,900 --> 00:24:56,200
food is cooked man.
Strike Up the Band.

217
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:57,900
The ambience is there.
The house is ready.

218
00:24:57,900 --> 00:25:00,700
Everything is perfect.
All were missing is those that

219
00:25:00,700 --> 00:25:05,200
we sent invitations to, so bring
them in but Verse 18, but all

220
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,100
all, but they all began to make
excuses.

221
00:25:08,100 --> 00:25:10,400
It's going to sound familiar.
This is what Jesus heard.

222
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,400
The first set, I have just
bought a field.

223
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,100
I must go and see it.
I got some business to take care

224
00:25:15,100 --> 00:25:16,900
of.
I can't make it to the Masters

225
00:25:16,900 --> 00:25:19,000
banquet.
I can't come to the banquet that

226
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,300
God prepared for me.
I'm awful busy but please,

227
00:25:21,300 --> 00:25:23,700
excuse me.
No, That I just bought five yoke

228
00:25:23,700 --> 00:25:27,800
of oxen, my way to try them out.
I got a farm to take care of, I

229
00:25:27,808 --> 00:25:30,800
guess that man was waiting for -
responsibilities back at home,

230
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,900
so excuse me.
Verse 20 is still another said I

231
00:25:33,900 --> 00:25:36,000
just got married so I can't come
now.

232
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,700
I got family.
Take care of my got spouse, I

233
00:25:37,708 --> 00:25:40,900
guess, maybe kids on the way.
So I'm out, I can't be a part of

234
00:25:40,900 --> 00:25:42,600
it.
This was says in verse 21 the

235
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:46,600
servant came back and reported
this to the master to Jesus and

236
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,300
the owner of the house became
angry became indignant and he

237
00:25:50,300 --> 00:25:53,800
ordered his servants, they go
out quickly and Streets in the

238
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,600
alleys of the town of to the
houses, just in the little

239
00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:00,900
streets, in the alleys of town,
and bring in the poor, bring the

240
00:26:00,900 --> 00:26:03,300
crippled, bring the Blind and
bring the lame.

241
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,700
And I love this.
That Jesus was at this point

242
00:26:05,700 --> 00:26:08,100
going to reach the people.
He invited buzzing to reach all

243
00:26:08,100 --> 00:26:10,000
the people.
The, the destitutes, the

244
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,300
leftover the hurting, the people
who have a home, the people are

245
00:26:13,300 --> 00:26:16,200
left out and all of a sudden, it
begins to bring them in and

246
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,100
said, service says, sir you
ordered was been done, but

247
00:26:19,100 --> 00:26:22,000
there's still room, the master
told his servant and go out to

248
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,900
the Odds and the country lanes,
if you were familiar with the

249
00:26:24,900 --> 00:26:28,200
King James version says, go out
into the highways and the hedges

250
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:33,200
and compel them to come in stop
at nothing to bring people.

251
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:37,600
To the banquet, go out further,
go out beyond the city Gates, go

252
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:41,400
into all the places and bring
them in so that my house may be.

253
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:42,800
What does it say?
Maybe.

254
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:48,800
Maybe this is important, maybe
it may be full.

255
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:50,900
I want you, I want you bring so
many people that the banquet

256
00:26:50,900 --> 00:26:53,200
seeds are all full.
First 24.

257
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:54,600
Remember he's talking to the
Pharisees.

258
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,700
He says, I tell you he's looking
around the room.

259
00:26:58,100 --> 00:27:01,500
That no one of those who were
invited will get a taste of my

260
00:27:01,508 --> 00:27:03,800
banquet.
And so this is a significant

261
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,700
Parable because Jesus has
literally just open the door for

262
00:27:06,700 --> 00:27:09,300
the gospel, to go, the entire
world.

263
00:27:09,300 --> 00:27:11,600
She's Pharisees.
They had gotten invitation These

264
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,200
Old Testament.
Jewish Nation.

265
00:27:13,300 --> 00:27:15,900
These L would've known that
Jesus is Messiah.

266
00:27:16,100 --> 00:27:18,000
There is coming to redeem people
from their sin, he was the

267
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,200
chosen one.
They would on all these things

268
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,500
about Jesus.
Now fact, they got invitation is

269
00:27:22,500 --> 00:27:25,300
called the Old Testament.
Come on somebody man named David

270
00:27:25,300 --> 00:27:29,400
or Elijah Elijah, or Moses, or
Abraham or Ezekiel?

271
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,200
Jeremiah.
All these people have been

272
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,900
prophesying about.
Daniel of the coming one, the

273
00:27:33,900 --> 00:27:35,700
Messiah.
They had the invitation of Jesus

274
00:27:35,700 --> 00:27:38,600
saying, hey, guess what?
Those are invited, no longer

275
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,700
invited.
We're inviting everybody that

276
00:27:40,700 --> 00:27:43,600
was no longer by Nets us.
Amen to the bank.

277
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,800
Whatever in heaven with Jesus
and Jesus says, don't you bring

278
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,600
everybody in, I want you to go
out to the highways and hedges

279
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,600
and compel them.
That means convince them, let me

280
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,400
share the good news of Jesus and
bring them in.

281
00:27:55,500 --> 00:27:57,100
And so today, I want to kick off
this series.

282
00:27:57,100 --> 00:27:59,200
What it looks like to be brought
to Jesus.

283
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:03,900
Don't kick off this series of a
story of a man who Jesus found

284
00:28:04,100 --> 00:28:07,400
and how God used him and
compelled him for the things of

285
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:08,700
Christ.
Let's check out the story.

286
00:28:11,100 --> 00:28:22,200
I'm John birt and this is my
story pretty much is about 2011,

287
00:28:23,900 --> 00:28:26,000
pretty pretty down in the dumps
around that time.

288
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:30,300
I was pretty bad addict.
I was actually doing some time

289
00:28:30,300 --> 00:28:32,800
in jail, it's pretty out of my
mind.

290
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,300
I was trying to fight everybody
in the jail cell and really

291
00:28:36,300 --> 00:28:37,500
didn't know where my life is
going.

292
00:28:37,500 --> 00:28:40,800
At that moment.
It was so bad that I met All the

293
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:42,300
other inmates really
uncomfortable.

294
00:28:42,300 --> 00:28:44,900
So the jail bailiff brought me
down the hallway and put me in

295
00:28:44,900 --> 00:28:48,300
another round.
I'll still going pretty crazy.

296
00:28:48,300 --> 00:28:51,400
And I remember I sat down the
block and it was Pitch Black in

297
00:28:51,408 --> 00:28:55,200
there, except for the little
light on the mail slot that they

298
00:28:55,500 --> 00:28:58,200
bring the tray in through.
And I remember the light shine

299
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,400
through the hallway on a piece
of paper and I'll pick up the

300
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,300
piece of paper and it was the
face section in the newspaper.

301
00:29:05,300 --> 00:29:10,200
And at that moment I sat down on
the bark and I was scared and

302
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,300
lonely.
I just felt the Holy Spirit has

303
00:29:13,300 --> 00:29:15,300
come on man.
It's kind of like I was naked

304
00:29:15,300 --> 00:29:18,000
and Jesus.
It's just quote me right there

305
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:23,000
and all my all my anxieties and
everything's kind of melted away

306
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:27,700
and ask the bailiff for a Bible.
And that's pretty much how my

307
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:34,000
relationship with Jesus started.
A couple months later, I went to

308
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:38,400
Cass County Jail, I was in there
one night and is try around

309
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,100
midnight, something like that
and you know, you can hear the

310
00:29:41,100 --> 00:29:42,700
cellblocks opening down the
hall.

311
00:29:42,700 --> 00:29:45,600
So looking at everybody like,
hey we got somebody new coming

312
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,100
down the down, the Away.
Who is it?

313
00:29:48,300 --> 00:29:52,300
It's our buddy.
Dan comes walking in the Pod and

314
00:29:52,300 --> 00:29:54,200
I could tell, he's had a pretty
rough night.

315
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,700
I'm just pacing back and forth.
They finally sits down in front

316
00:29:57,700 --> 00:29:59,000
of my bunk.
And I was like, hey man, you

317
00:29:59,008 --> 00:30:01,800
don't have to sit down right
there you, so I stole him come

318
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,900
up and sit on the top bar, put
your stuff up here and that's

319
00:30:04,900 --> 00:30:06,600
where he stayed for the next
couple months.

320
00:30:07,100 --> 00:30:11,200
You know, I was reading the
Bible and yeah, damn, it Reed.

321
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:17,000
And to, We Do Hang out, we just
read and I'll try to make sense

322
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,500
of a bad situation.
And then smother guys would sit

323
00:30:20,500 --> 00:30:22,300
down next to me and they want to
hear it.

324
00:30:22,300 --> 00:30:25,600
So I've read it out loud to
them, and maybe they just lost

325
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,300
two.
And I just wanted to some

326
00:30:27,300 --> 00:30:30,800
comforting words eventually, it
turned into just made reading

327
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:34,200
out loud to everybody.
That came to the point where

328
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,300
they didn't have a choice
because I was reading it out

329
00:30:36,300 --> 00:30:38,200
loud anyway.
So if they didn't want to hear

330
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:39,500
it, they decided to close their
ears.

331
00:30:39,500 --> 00:30:43,200
But everybody, everybody was
listening.

332
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:47,000
The Pod that we were at there
was 24 cell, block on the

333
00:30:47,008 --> 00:30:49,300
bottom, there's a pony for
sunblock on top.

334
00:30:49,300 --> 00:30:54,200
So even the people up top
leaning on the gate, listen to.

335
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,600
It was bruised.
It was a pretty cool experience

336
00:30:57,100 --> 00:31:00,200
and at this point I'm pretty
much like a prodigal again.

337
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,800
I've been found at that moment.
10, 11 years later.

338
00:31:03,900 --> 00:31:06,400
I got back into the world.
You know, I started eating out

339
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:10,200
from the Tree of knowledge and I
kind of slowly dip back into

340
00:31:11,100 --> 00:31:14,900
into that lifestyle.
I go Your dad's house and he's

341
00:31:14,900 --> 00:31:17,000
telling me about all these
great, things have just happened

342
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,000
in his life and he starts
telling me about how Jesus came

343
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,500
and pretty much brought him to
his knees and he's really

344
00:31:23,500 --> 00:31:28,100
changed his life Grandma's.
I had I was like a last thing I

345
00:31:28,100 --> 00:31:33,200
was expecting to hear from him.
So at that moment I was I was

346
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:37,100
ready and I was probably the
best I've ever been financially

347
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:42,700
and with me and my wife but
spiritually emotionally, I was a

348
00:31:42,700 --> 00:31:45,900
wreck.
Honestly so pretty much I

349
00:31:45,900 --> 00:31:50,100
started going to church like Dan
vide me on his bump here at real

350
00:31:50,100 --> 00:31:52,900
life and God's really came into
my life.

351
00:31:52,900 --> 00:31:56,900
These last few months, she's got
me, got me, quit drinking and

352
00:31:56,900 --> 00:32:01,300
quit smoking started.
Running sober life, praying a

353
00:32:01,308 --> 00:32:05,100
lot more made my kids coming up
to church.

354
00:32:05,100 --> 00:32:08,300
They love it.
It's just it's been real great.

355
00:32:08,300 --> 00:32:11,400
Just looking forward to more
opportunities as got in front of

356
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,400
me.
There is really, I was just Try

357
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,500
to squander knows blessings that
he's bestowed upon me.

358
00:32:16,500 --> 00:32:19,500
You know, you look back at all.
The things you have.

359
00:32:20,300 --> 00:32:22,200
It's like land with me.
Nothing without them.

360
00:32:22,300 --> 00:32:25,300
If you have been xiety about
asking, somebody just just

361
00:32:25,300 --> 00:32:27,800
holding that in xiety and it's
just gonna eat you up.

362
00:32:29,100 --> 00:32:32,500
I just hope I may.
I ask how we're going to say is

363
00:32:32,500 --> 00:32:37,800
no, just take that leap of faith
and if it's on your mind to ask

364
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,700
it.
And that's how I was brought to

365
00:32:39,700 --> 00:32:42,100
Jesus.
And I'm inviting you to bring

366
00:32:42,100 --> 00:32:52,400
someone Well, this is a story
powerful.

367
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,600
It's amazing.
He came out in this family and

368
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,200
he sat over here in the first
and he stood up, I say, give

369
00:32:58,300 --> 00:33:00,600
give it up man, he-he's tub.
So tall.

370
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,400
Come on Jesus.
You know, I mean, so cool to see

371
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,400
what God has done in his life
and up just bringing somebody

372
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,700
right?
And it's cool how Johnson, the

373
00:33:08,700 --> 00:33:12,700
cell reading the Bible, right?
And here comes Dan right.

374
00:33:12,700 --> 00:33:14,800
What a great story is like.
I didn't know how you guys met,

375
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:18,000
but now I've got, I know this is
amazing and it's just funny how

376
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,100
God works through people.
That's what this series is all

377
00:33:20,100 --> 00:33:22,500
about.
It just simply inviting you just

378
00:33:22,500 --> 00:33:25,100
all through life in the
circumstances, taking the gospel

379
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:29,400
to the darkest corners and sells
write it, how God can use it.

380
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,000
And so, I'm going to say
something about his story that

381
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:33,700
was so significant.
I had asked him.

382
00:33:33,700 --> 00:33:37,000
I said, how do you find Jesus?
And he just stopped, it means

383
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:40,200
like point-blank, he said, hey
Sean, I didn't find Jesus.

384
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,000
Jesus found me.
I mean, imagine being in

385
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,900
solitary right?
And the light of the Gospel

386
00:33:45,900 --> 00:33:49,300
shines through the food, tray
slot, and has a faith section,

387
00:33:49,300 --> 00:33:50,700
the newspaper and gets the
Bible.

388
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:54,000
Well, I mean it's amazing and
our story is much Slimmer, isn't

389
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,100
it?
That we all Found Jesus?

390
00:33:56,100 --> 00:33:58,800
And Jesus, we are Jews found us.
We didn't find Jesus.

391
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:00,700
It wasn't, our ability was not
good.

392
00:34:00,700 --> 00:34:04,300
We were we need clean a mess.
So we didn't go far enough and

393
00:34:04,300 --> 00:34:06,800
clean it up and make it good.
Then Jesus accepted us.

394
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,300
No, no, Jesus found us.
My friends is amazing.

395
00:34:09,300 --> 00:34:11,199
Verse in the Bible.
Its founder Romans 5:6.

396
00:34:11,199 --> 00:34:13,300
My favorite verses says, we were
utterly.

397
00:34:13,300 --> 00:34:14,500
What?
How about utterly?

398
00:34:15,900 --> 00:34:18,300
Didn't come up fast enough so
you're like, huh, you were

399
00:34:18,300 --> 00:34:19,900
utterly helpless as a good
illustration.

400
00:34:19,900 --> 00:34:23,500
I like that but we were utterly
helpless, man.

401
00:34:23,500 --> 00:34:26,400
Christ, he came at just the
right time and died for us.

402
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:30,100
Sinners only helpless.
When it was nothing, we can do

403
00:34:30,199 --> 00:34:33,800
to change our situation when
you're in solitary, but it was

404
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:35,500
with there's nothing.
There's no, there's another

405
00:34:35,500 --> 00:34:38,199
chain and sin, what?
Jesus did for us on the cross.

406
00:34:38,199 --> 00:34:39,800
Who knows?
We could never do in a million

407
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:40,699
lifetimes.
Amen.

408
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:42,699
We never could do.
What, what?

409
00:34:42,699 --> 00:34:45,100
What happened?
Romans 3:23 says, for a wheel

410
00:34:45,100 --> 00:34:46,600
also, Fall short of the glory of
God.

411
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,400
There's none righteous.
No not one, but Jesus.

412
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:53,500
He became sin for us who knew no
sin, so that we might become the

413
00:34:53,500 --> 00:34:55,900
righteousness of God.
Amen.

414
00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:00,300
It wasn't our ability, it was
are in a bill that Jesus Pursuit

415
00:35:00,300 --> 00:35:02,600
us.
Jesus came after us.

416
00:35:02,900 --> 00:35:05,100
Do you think there's an accident
that the faith section was in

417
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,900
the cell?
These an accident that he came

418
00:35:07,900 --> 00:35:10,300
to Christ?
That Jesus has been pursuing us?

419
00:35:10,300 --> 00:35:13,300
He's pursuing you today and so
I'm just believing today that

420
00:35:13,300 --> 00:35:16,100
God is going to shape your life
and they've got Going to call

421
00:35:16,100 --> 00:35:20,300
you away from would call the
Gathering so we can scatter out

422
00:35:20,300 --> 00:35:22,800
the gospel to bring people to
Jesus.

423
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:24,900
Amen!
So here's my goal, really for

424
00:35:24,900 --> 00:35:28,700
this series is that we would
each each of us in this room, we

425
00:35:28,700 --> 00:35:31,700
would bring somebody just one
person at some point, the next

426
00:35:31,700 --> 00:35:34,900
three Sundays, the gotta put
some build our heart that we

427
00:35:34,900 --> 00:35:36,900
could witness to share the
gospel.

428
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,200
You just invite out user card
invited neighbor have a meal and

429
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,200
I'm out the church, whatever it
is, and bring somebody into the

430
00:35:43,207 --> 00:35:45,100
person's got here and the second
goal.

431
00:35:45,100 --> 00:35:47,300
And I think, This is way more
significant is that over the

432
00:35:47,300 --> 00:35:50,100
course of the next year, one
year that we bring somebody to

433
00:35:50,100 --> 00:35:53,000
Jesus, like, literally you see
somebody come to saving faith,

434
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,100
not because of our ability,
amen.

435
00:35:55,700 --> 00:35:57,600
But was God himself, Jesus.
So some of you guys going to

436
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,500
water, so you guys can plan
something to sew some you to

437
00:36:00,500 --> 00:36:03,300
reap and it's God, who gives the
increase, amen.

438
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,900
So the pressure of seeing people
coming to Christ has all on

439
00:36:06,900 --> 00:36:10,000
Jesus, it's all on them and so
we're simply going to be a

440
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,000
mouthpiece.
And so this next year I was

441
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,500
thinking about this this is
amazing if each one of us played

442
00:36:14,500 --> 00:36:17,300
a part of somebody's story.
Three this next year about 300

443
00:36:17,300 --> 00:36:19,500
of us in this church that come
on, average Sunday.

444
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:22,000
If we all played a part of the
story, there would be a party in

445
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,700
heaven every single day of the
week.

446
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,400
Amen.
Would that be cool to know

447
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:29,500
there's a party in heaven going
on because each of us played

448
00:36:29,500 --> 00:36:31,900
part of the story, so it's not
like, oh hey, it's Sean's dad to

449
00:36:31,900 --> 00:36:33,200
be the witness her in the
church, you know.

450
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,700
Know it's all a jobs are all
ambassadors for Jesus.

451
00:36:35,700 --> 00:36:37,800
Amen.
And so I believe that God is

452
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,700
calling us in this.
Bring series to play part of the

453
00:36:40,700 --> 00:36:42,800
story.
I live when John was in that

454
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,300
cell and he said the spirit
washed over him and change.

455
00:36:45,500 --> 00:36:47,800
So you understand about coming
to Christ as you recognize for

456
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:51,200
yourself that we weren't bad.
People becoming good, John

457
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,300
wasn't a good person becoming
better.

458
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,600
No, no, we were dead people
coming alive.

459
00:36:56,600 --> 00:37:00,900
Amen, we were dead in our sins
or may live to Jesus.

460
00:37:00,900 --> 00:37:03,400
We were broken.
We're in complete, we were

461
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:07,400
struggling and strangled in a
Cell of sin, and Jesus made away

462
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,200
and set us free.
Now, the reality is this, every

463
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,300
time you think back to that
moment for John, he never

464
00:37:12,300 --> 00:37:14,100
forgot.
Obviously, when you accepted

465
00:37:14,100 --> 00:37:16,600
Jesus and for all of us, Us, we
look back that moment.

466
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:18,600
You should have hair on your
arms, stand up.

467
00:37:19,100 --> 00:37:20,500
Oh, thank you, Jesus.
Amen.

468
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,600
Is what you did for me.
I could have never done for

469
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:25,300
myself.
Thank you Jesus.

470
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,500
And we get the privilege and
honor of sharing Jesus with

471
00:37:28,500 --> 00:37:30,900
somebody else throughout.
Is this is that Christ stopped

472
00:37:30,900 --> 00:37:34,000
at nothing to find us.
And now we're called to find

473
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,300
other people.
I love how John talked about his

474
00:37:36,300 --> 00:37:38,300
favorite passage.
In the scripture, they read out

475
00:37:38,300 --> 00:37:40,500
loud to all the cell mates, by
the way, it's amazing.

476
00:37:40,500 --> 00:37:42,800
I just like what a picture.
This is like, somewhere in the

477
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:43,600
body.
Should be the Bible.

478
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,300
Some all right, he's reading the
Bible out.

479
00:37:45,500 --> 00:37:46,700
Loud.
But his favorite store in the

480
00:37:46,700 --> 00:37:49,400
Bible's prodigal, son.
And what a picture of God's

481
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:50,800
grace.
Here's the father.

482
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,700
That's been shredded on is
Grace, has been abused and the

483
00:37:53,700 --> 00:37:56,900
father.
Jesus, God is waiting patiently

484
00:37:57,100 --> 00:38:01,200
for his son to come home.
It's no wonder that John love

485
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:02,900
that scripture.
So today we're going to read

486
00:38:02,900 --> 00:38:04,300
through the story of The
Prodigal, Son.

487
00:38:04,500 --> 00:38:10,500
You guys ready for this today?
Just like yeah yeah we're going

488
00:38:10,500 --> 00:38:13,600
to get there today.
You guys ready little bit?

489
00:38:13,900 --> 00:38:17,200
All right well Luke 15 is we're
going to be so you're going to

490
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,900
run through this and it we're
going to be basically in the

491
00:38:19,908 --> 00:38:22,100
whole chapter.
So there's three stories that

492
00:38:22,100 --> 00:38:25,400
Jesus gives and it leads all it
just kind of builds one another

493
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:29,800
in Jesus, he is again hanging
out with Sinners, great centers

494
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,100
and it says this in verse 1, it
says tax cluttered collectors

495
00:38:33,300 --> 00:38:35,700
and other notorious centers.
Who knows crack Tax Collectors

496
00:38:35,700 --> 00:38:37,300
are notorious Has come on
somebody.

497
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,900
Yeah, right some, you're like, I
don't know if the the Cass

498
00:38:40,900 --> 00:38:44,200
County collector, you know,
assessors are here that really

499
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,400
cool actually, because it goes
on to say, tax collectors and

500
00:38:46,408 --> 00:38:49,900
other tourist.
Centers, often often came to

501
00:38:49,900 --> 00:38:52,400
listen to Jesus, teach, come on.
That's how you know what?

502
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:53,400
The right church.
Amen.

503
00:38:54,100 --> 00:38:56,900
I mean honestly, I mean, Jesus
was opposite of a lot of

504
00:38:56,900 --> 00:38:59,800
religious, people would think
went with Jesus attracted a

505
00:38:59,808 --> 00:39:01,300
crowd.
It was the notorious Sinners

506
00:39:01,300 --> 00:39:03,400
that come out to listen to him.
Often that.

507
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:05,200
I believe that's how, you know,
in the right place when somebody

508
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:06,400
shows up, looks nothing like
Jesus.

509
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,500
Is coming because it's a love of
Jesus and are compelled by the

510
00:39:09,500 --> 00:39:13,500
consul Lord to repentance.
And so, Jesus was an attractor

511
00:39:13,700 --> 00:39:15,600
of people that were far from
him.

512
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:19,100
He loved the notorious Sinners
verse 2.

513
00:39:19,100 --> 00:39:21,600
It says this made the Pharisees
and teachers of religious law.

514
00:39:21,700 --> 00:39:26,000
What made them what Yeah, one
person I like that.

515
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:29,200
Go Jerry made and complain,
right?

516
00:39:29,300 --> 00:39:33,000
These guys are upset, these guys
are irritated why in the world

517
00:39:33,100 --> 00:39:36,800
would Jesus associate with such
sinful people and even eat with

518
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:38,500
them?
Can you believe this guy?

519
00:39:38,700 --> 00:39:41,400
They said their cross their
arms, you look at Jesus over

520
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,000
there with these notorious
Sinners.

521
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,900
I mean, we don't let us work, we
serve God, we know God, he'd

522
00:39:45,900 --> 00:39:48,100
have lunch with us.
He did do this for us.

523
00:39:48,300 --> 00:39:50,200
Actually.
He just did last Parable, right?

524
00:39:50,500 --> 00:39:51,500
They forgot.
He was hanging out with a

525
00:39:51,508 --> 00:39:52,800
tourist centers.
Like them.

526
00:39:52,900 --> 00:39:54,500
They didn't consider themselves
as notorious in.

527
00:39:54,700 --> 00:39:57,500
As they were better than most
people, verse 3 says this.

528
00:39:57,500 --> 00:40:00,500
So Jesus told them the story
about fact he gets home three

529
00:40:00,500 --> 00:40:03,200
stories back-to-back, okay?
And so the first or is a lost

530
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,800
sheep sextours, lost coin, the
third story, it builds on it is

531
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,300
the prodigal son.
So first, for says this Jesus

532
00:40:09,300 --> 00:40:12,300
story, If any man has a hundred
sheep and one of them gets lost,

533
00:40:12,300 --> 00:40:15,600
what we do, well he leave the 99
others and go into the

534
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:19,500
Wilderness and go to what was he
to do you search?

535
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:24,100
He's going to search for the
lost sheep until he finds it.

536
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:26,200
It's so important.
Understand that Jesus is saying,

537
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:29,200
hey, I'm going to leave the 99.
I'm going after the one until I

538
00:40:29,207 --> 00:40:32,800
find that one and today, maybe
you're the one that Jesus is

539
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,100
going to find.
And when he has found it, he

540
00:40:35,100 --> 00:40:37,600
will joyfully Care at home on
his shoulders and when he

541
00:40:37,607 --> 00:40:40,900
arrives, he will call together
his friends and neighbors saying

542
00:40:40,900 --> 00:40:43,900
Rejoice with me because I have
found my lost sheep in the same

543
00:40:43,900 --> 00:40:45,400
way.
This is the Heavenly part.

544
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:49,300
There is more, what?
There's more joy in heaven, over

545
00:40:49,300 --> 00:40:51,600
one Lost Sinner, repents and
returns to God.

546
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,000
Number 99, others who are
righteous?

547
00:40:54,300 --> 00:40:56,800
And Having strayed away.
So here's the theme.

548
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:58,800
So far Jesus tells these
Pharisees.

549
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:00,300
They why you can play.
Why are you doing this?

550
00:41:00,300 --> 00:41:02,000
They're complaining about Jesus.
Hang out tourist centers.

551
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:03,600
And Jesus says, let me tell you
a story.

552
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,200
I'ma leave the 99 and the go
find the one.

553
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,900
It's lost its broken, he's
alone.

554
00:41:08,900 --> 00:41:11,800
He was in safe who isn't found
when I find it.

555
00:41:11,900 --> 00:41:15,200
We're going to throw a party.
That's what I'm gonna do.

556
00:41:15,500 --> 00:41:17,200
These Pharisees are still set up
their arms crossed.

557
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,500
Not really clicking, it's not
tracking for them.

558
00:41:19,500 --> 00:41:21,100
So Jesus tells them another
story.

559
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:24,900
He goes on to say in verse 8 or
suppose, the woman has Silver

560
00:41:24,900 --> 00:41:29,000
coins and loses one, once you
light a lamp and sweep the

561
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,400
entire house.
Once you flip the couch and look

562
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,800
at all the crevices until she
finds, or search carefully,

563
00:41:34,900 --> 00:41:37,300
until she finds it.
And when she finds it, she will

564
00:41:37,300 --> 00:41:40,200
call her friends and neighbors,
and say rejoice with me.

565
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:43,100
Because I found my lost coin.
Dinner's on me tonight.

566
00:41:43,100 --> 00:41:45,400
Come on somebody and the same
way.

567
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:47,200
There is what helped me out
there is.

568
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:51,300
There's joy in the presence of
God's angels, even once one

569
00:41:51,300 --> 00:41:54,500
Center repents and so here's a
theme just keeps rolling now.

570
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:57,100
Only, if you leave 99 and
searched until he finds it, he's

571
00:41:57,100 --> 00:41:59,500
going to search carefully until
he finds it.

572
00:41:59,500 --> 00:42:01,800
He's a good every nook and
cranny and every Highway and

573
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:03,700
henge.
He's looking every dark corner

574
00:42:03,700 --> 00:42:07,000
dark Road, and into the places
that nobody want to go into the

575
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,200
overlooked, into the destitute,
into the dark areas of the

576
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:12,700
world, until he finds every
single person, and give the name

577
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,700
of Jesus.
There's gonna be a party when he

578
00:42:15,700 --> 00:42:18,400
finds them still not sudden for
these Pharisees going to verse

579
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:22,100
11 and so is to illustrate the
point further, like the obvious

580
00:42:22,100 --> 00:42:23,700
not going to get this.
So let me just throw it out

581
00:42:23,700 --> 00:42:25,400
there for you and you just Rise
of home.

582
00:42:25,700 --> 00:42:28,500
And Jesus told them the story,
he said, a man had two sons, the

583
00:42:28,500 --> 00:42:32,300
younger son, told his father, I
want my share of your estate now

584
00:42:32,300 --> 00:42:34,400
before you die.
In other words, dad, even know

585
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:35,600
you're alive.
You're sitting right here.

586
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:37,800
You're dead to me.
I'm over you.

587
00:42:38,100 --> 00:42:41,200
So all my heritance right now.
And so it says this, so as

588
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:43,900
father agreed to devise wealth
between his sons.

589
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,200
Now, it's important to note
right here that he gave half as

590
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:48,200
inheritance to his younger son.
This is the product rule in the

591
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:49,900
story, they gave half his
Heritage.

592
00:42:49,900 --> 00:42:52,300
His older son, who's going to be
the guy that's upset in the

593
00:42:52,308 --> 00:42:54,400
story of the end.
He split his inheritance right?

594
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,500
Away first 13, a few days later.
This younger son packed, all his

595
00:42:57,500 --> 00:43:00,900
belongings moved to some land
and there he wasted all his

596
00:43:00,900 --> 00:43:04,200
money on wild living he was he
was probably squandered all his

597
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:07,000
stuff about that time is money
right now, A Great Famine.

598
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:10,000
Swept over land began to starve.
He persuade a local farmer to

599
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,600
hire him in the main.
Sent him into his fields to feed

600
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:14,800
the pigs.
The young man became so hungry

601
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,600
that even the pods he was
feeding the pigs look so good to

602
00:43:17,607 --> 00:43:20,200
him.
So but no one gave him anything.

603
00:43:20,500 --> 00:43:24,300
When he finally came to his
senses, when he woke up when he

604
00:43:24,300 --> 00:43:27,000
went All this money and it
didn't satisfy him.

605
00:43:27,100 --> 00:43:29,200
He was barely surviving through
a famine.

606
00:43:29,500 --> 00:43:32,800
He said to himself at home.
Even the hired servants have

607
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:37,300
food enough to spare but here I
am dying of hunger.

608
00:43:37,700 --> 00:43:41,200
I will go home to my father and
what a perfect picture of

609
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:42,200
repentance.
Amen.

610
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,000
My go home to my father and this
is what it's going to say.

611
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:48,500
Father, I've sinned against both
heaven and you are no longer

612
00:43:48,500 --> 00:43:53,100
worthy to be called your son,
please take me on as a hired

613
00:43:53,100 --> 00:43:56,500
servant, just take me back.
Anyway possible, I humbled

614
00:43:56,500 --> 00:43:59,300
myself.
I've been humbled, man.

615
00:43:59,300 --> 00:44:02,200
I've been down the road, the
world not broken.

616
00:44:02,300 --> 00:44:04,900
Just kept me back into your
family at your presence and

617
00:44:04,900 --> 00:44:08,700
please provide for me verse 20.
So we returned home to his

618
00:44:08,700 --> 00:44:14,000
father and while he was still a
long way off I love this.

619
00:44:14,500 --> 00:44:20,500
His father was It's about Psalm,
that's amazing part of the

620
00:44:20,500 --> 00:44:22,600
story.
His father wasn't too busy.

621
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:26,400
His father was waiting and
watching for her son to come

622
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:29,400
home.
His son, his abuses, Grace

623
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:33,200
lunches presence, mad at him,
angry him and left him in.

624
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:36,000
The father was brokenhearted
waiting for his children.

625
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:39,000
His prodigals to come home.
I want you to watch this because

626
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,700
this is probably one of the best
descriptions of the heart of

627
00:44:41,700 --> 00:44:45,000
God's found the Bible.
The love of Jesus for us every

628
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:50,500
single day, it says this filled
with Love and compassion, he ran

629
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:54,600
to his son, he took off, he is
slammed the door and locked the

630
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:57,300
door.
He ran to his son and embrace

631
00:44:57,300 --> 00:45:00,700
his son and he kissed him.
His son said to him, father, I

632
00:45:00,707 --> 00:45:02,300
have sinned against both you and
Heaven.

633
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:05,500
I no longer worthy to be called
your son and a father.

634
00:45:05,500 --> 00:45:06,700
I love.
This is Alyssa way.

635
00:45:06,700 --> 00:45:08,400
He didn't do it.
I, this is so powerful.

636
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:12,200
He did say some where you been
but long time, son I'm not sure

637
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:15,700
about coming back home, oh, hey,
you can stay one night, but let

638
00:45:15,700 --> 00:45:16,600
the door.
Hit you on the way out.

639
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,600
He be out here tomorrow.
Bro, he didn't slam the door, he

640
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:21,200
didn't ask him.
What happened the money, he

641
00:45:21,207 --> 00:45:24,200
didn't ask me if his money back.
No, no, his father was so

642
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:26,200
excited.
This is where he does.

643
00:45:26,300 --> 00:45:28,300
His father said to the servants,
he's cut us off.

644
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:30,700
Hey, yeah, I forgave you the
moment, so I run to you, son.

645
00:45:31,100 --> 00:45:32,400
He goes, there's, we're going to
get the servants.

646
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,200
Come here, quick!
Bring the finest robe in the

647
00:45:34,207 --> 00:45:36,900

his finger and sandals on his

648
00:45:36,900 --> 00:45:39,800
feet and kill the calf that
we've been fattening.

649
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:43,000
Come on somebody.
It's gonna be a party tonight.

650
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:46,100
We must celebrate with A Feast,
for a son of mine was dead, and

651
00:45:46,100 --> 00:45:47,900
now is your turn.
Life.

652
00:45:47,900 --> 00:45:53,100
He was lost but now he is found.
So the party began.

653
00:45:53,100 --> 00:45:55,700
Come on somebody, right?
Do you know when you came to

654
00:45:55,700 --> 00:45:58,800
Christ, there's a party for you.
And haven't, you guys know that

655
00:45:59,300 --> 00:46:00,600
you guys are the Angels shouted.
In heaven.

656
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:02,300
The moment.
You said, yes, to Jesus.

657
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:03,600
You're the most significant
thing.

658
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:05,600
You can spend your life on is a
shared Jesus.

659
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:08,000
With people, you know, when you
get to heaven, you can go.

660
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:11,200
You can talk to all these people
that play a part of your story.

661
00:46:11,300 --> 00:46:13,800
And then for the years and years
and years and decades, maybe

662
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:17,000
centuries to come people to show
up to heaven and they say, thank

663
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,500
you.
So much for living on Mission

664
00:46:19,500 --> 00:46:21,900
because it wasn't for you.
I would have never known the

665
00:46:21,900 --> 00:46:23,700
gospel.
Thanks for playing Paul, small,

666
00:46:23,700 --> 00:46:25,800
part of story Nelson.
It's be so ecstatic.

667
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:27,400
Amen.
And you can have parties, every

668
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:29,300

Gospel, keep moving, like, you

00:46:29,300 --> 00:46:30,600

They'll the pardons going to
happen and this is this is what

671
00:46:32,900 --> 00:46:35,800
the gospel is all about.
You see the theme of Jesus, he

672
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:38,000
left the righteous.
He left movement called the

673
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:41,000
church, he left the people that
are forgiven, and he went to the

674
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:45,900
most broken, notorious
criminals, the people that were

675
00:46:45,900 --> 00:46:49,000
the most needed.
The Forgiveness, the people

676
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:52,300
abuse his grace, the most,
there's nobody passed this and

677
00:46:52,300 --> 00:46:54,900
he ran through them with
forgiveness.

678
00:46:54,900 --> 00:47:00,100
Amen, this is just me today.
I'm like the only one excited

679
00:47:00,100 --> 00:47:02,900
about forgiveness, right?
I mean, dude, I'm telling you,

680
00:47:02,900 --> 00:47:04,300
this is what she'd be like real
life.

681
00:47:04,300 --> 00:47:07,100
Should be the party Church.
Come on somebody like we're

682
00:47:07,100 --> 00:47:09,800
responsible more parties in
heaven than any church in our

683
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:12,900
area because we're tearing up
for Cass County for Belden for

684
00:47:12,908 --> 00:47:14,400
rumor through bringing people to
Christ.

685
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:17,100
This is what God has called us
to do the churches.

686
00:47:17,300 --> 00:47:19,700
Exist for herself exist, for the
world around us.

687
00:47:19,700 --> 00:47:22,400
Amen, the Run mission.
Is that the people that aren't

688
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:25,800
here are the people were called
to reach we come to church or

689
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:28,600
you can call this church.
We come here to gather together

690
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:31,600
so called a gathering and so we
can hear, we could equips, we

691
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:35,000
get empowered, we get
encouraged, we get built up.

692
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:39,900
We reminded we get put back in
the spirit of God and so yes

693
00:47:39,900 --> 00:47:42,600
this is why I'm doing it and
then we go live it out for a

694
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:44,900
week and so Monday morning you
are the church.

695
00:47:44,900 --> 00:47:47,000
Amen.
And then Tuesday morning and

696
00:47:47,300 --> 00:47:49,300
Times were kids on Thursday
night when you read a strangle

697
00:47:49,300 --> 00:47:51,200
them.
Come on, somebody, right?

698
00:47:51,500 --> 00:47:54,200
That's your Jesus to your kids.
I mean, all week long, wherever

699
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:56,800
you go, you're called to be on
Mission.

700
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,400
Your Ambassador Christ.
You are the church.

701
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:01,300
Okay, so we got stopped, just
going to church.

702
00:48:01,300 --> 00:48:04,200
Come on somebody.
We start being the church living

703
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:06,800
on Mission, and the route is
every single day.

704
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:10,100
We have the opportunities in
front of us, to stand up to be

705
00:48:10,100 --> 00:48:12,400
bold and broken and shared
Jesus.

706
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:15,100
Now, I'm not saying it's some
scripted, Bible College, you

707
00:48:15,100 --> 00:48:17,400
know, preaching session?
It's a man, which God, Doing

708
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:19,100
your life with her.
Christian was not Christians

709
00:48:19,100 --> 00:48:21,400
like hey man, you ever thought
about come to church with me

710
00:48:21,900 --> 00:48:24,500
down my to that auto man was
that I'm just just a little

711
00:48:24,500 --> 00:48:27,000
conversations, you plant some
seeds and then God's going to

712
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,800
open doors, and you can play a
part of the story of bringing

713
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:31,500
people to Jesus.
And then you get to throw a

714
00:48:31,508 --> 00:48:34,300
party in heaven.
This is, this is what Jesus is

715
00:48:34,300 --> 00:48:36,100
saying.
He's talking to most religious

716
00:48:36,100 --> 00:48:37,500
people.
The time he said this woman to

717
00:48:37,500 --> 00:48:40,200
do, I'm leaving you all.
I'm gonna go through my soul.

718
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,500
Part of these people come home.
This is his pattern.

719
00:48:42,500 --> 00:48:44,100
They speaks about over and over
again.

720
00:48:44,300 --> 00:48:46,600
Now, these religious leaders,
this moment are still not

721
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:49,000
picking up ways.
Putting down and so Jesus.

722
00:48:49,300 --> 00:48:51,900
He just kind of lays out for me.
Just puts it at Point Blank.

723
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:54,700
Here it is in verse 25 says,
meanwhile, the older son, this

724
00:48:54,700 --> 00:48:57,500
would have been the Pharisees.
These older son represents, the

725
00:48:57,500 --> 00:49:00,300
religious leaders, the people
complaining about Jesus hang out

726
00:49:00,300 --> 00:49:02,800
centers.
So meanwhile, the older son was

727
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:05,800
in the fields working, he was
serving God, he was falling the

728
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:07,800
things as Master wanted and we
returned home.

729
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:10,500
He heard the music and what
helped me out heard.

730
00:49:11,500 --> 00:49:13,200
Dance and come on somebody.
I just had to say that for the

731
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:14,700
Baptist in the house.
Come on somebody.

732
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:17,300
There was dance.
I said I shall throw it out

733
00:49:17,300 --> 00:49:19,700
there a little bit bad as
friends but there was I just

734
00:49:19,700 --> 00:49:21,900
said it.
There it is praying for you guys

735
00:49:21,900 --> 00:49:26,800
to know recovering people right
verse 26 and he asked one of the

736
00:49:26,808 --> 00:49:30,000
servants, what was going on?
He said your brother is back.

737
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,400
He was told and your father has
killed the fattened calf.

738
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:35,300
And we are celebrating because
of the safe return.

739
00:49:35,500 --> 00:49:38,100
The older brother was angry.
He was mad.

740
00:49:38,100 --> 00:49:40,700
He won't even go into the house.
He wouldn't go in the party as

741
00:49:40,700 --> 00:49:42,900
father.
Came out and he begged him, son.

742
00:49:42,900 --> 00:49:44,900
Come in your brother's home.
He's been found.

743
00:49:44,900 --> 00:49:47,800
This is so exciting to be part
of this in the sun replied.

744
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:51,100
All these years I've slaved for
you Dad, either once and never,

745
00:49:51,100 --> 00:49:53,900
once refused to a single thing,
you've told me that's touching

746
00:49:53,900 --> 00:49:56,000
the law perfect.
I've always served you.

747
00:49:56,100 --> 00:49:58,700
I'm honored God, I call this
like the ministry saying like

748
00:49:58,700 --> 00:50:00,400
I've done so much you know, they
get.

749
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:01,700
So I'll look all things a
different.

750
00:50:01,700 --> 00:50:03,700
God, how could God ever treat me
this way?

751
00:50:03,900 --> 00:50:05,500
But why would, why would this
happen to me?

752
00:50:05,500 --> 00:50:08,800
I'm doing all this for you and
all the time you never gave me

753
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:12,300
even one young goat to Feast on
with My friends the whole time

754
00:50:12,300 --> 00:50:14,500
he never did this for me.
I've been the whole time

755
00:50:14,500 --> 00:50:17,600
following you put my time energy
in this never once threw a

756
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:20,200
party, like a throw for the, for
your other son.

757
00:50:20,500 --> 00:50:23,100
Not my brother Han and you're
gonna have a party for him.

758
00:50:23,100 --> 00:50:25,600
What is wrong with you?
Dad, you celebrate killing the

759
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:27,200
fatted.
Calf is supposed to be for me,

760
00:50:27,900 --> 00:50:29,500
this guy's just completely
selfish.

761
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:33,600
The father said to him, look
dear son, you've always stayed

762
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:35,800
by me.
I gave you half my inheritance

763
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:38,300
and you stayed in my presence.
You're the blessings of me.

764
00:50:38,300 --> 00:50:41,200
Blessings of God, the protection
of God all around it access to

765
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:43,800
me. 24/7.
For everything I have is yours.

766
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:45,900
You own.
It already very given you the

767
00:50:45,900 --> 00:50:48,800
inheritance.
So we had to celebrate today

768
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:50,500
because he has something that he
didn't have.

769
00:50:50,500 --> 00:50:54,800
You had be for your brother was
dead and has come back to life.

770
00:50:54,900 --> 00:50:59,700
He was lost but now he is Found
come all somebody.

771
00:50:59,900 --> 00:51:01,800
This is why we're going to
celebrate today.

772
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:04,300
Why do we bring people?
Why did Jesus leave the 99?

773
00:51:04,300 --> 00:51:06,700
You know, Jesus is in the search
and rescue business.

774
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:09,700
You know, Jesus is in the
business of taking dead things

775
00:51:09,700 --> 00:51:12,600
and turn into life.
Jesus in the business of

776
00:51:12,700 --> 00:51:14,500
unlocking, the prison cell of
sin.

777
00:51:14,500 --> 00:51:17,200
Amen.
In fact, Jesus cross lines

778
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:20,300
crossed lines of Many religious
leaders of time wouldn't cross.

779
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:22,600
He hung out with through.
Spera sees these religious

780
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:25,000
leaders, these criminals, these
Tax Collectors.

781
00:51:25,100 --> 00:51:28,100
He was found in places that you
never imagined God to And then

782
00:51:28,100 --> 00:51:30,200
he turned water into wine.
Come on.

783
00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:31,500
I was the first miracle of
Jesus.

784
00:51:31,500 --> 00:51:32,900
People still hung up on that,
amen.

785
00:51:33,100 --> 00:51:36,300
I mean, just like, I can't
believe this and these Pharisees

786
00:51:36,300 --> 00:51:40,000
are crossing their arms.
Instead of Crossing Lines for

787
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:41,700
Jesus.
Matter of fact, Jesus crossed

788
00:51:41,700 --> 00:51:44,600
lines of borders.
He went to Samaria, he crossed

789
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:48,300
the lines of ethnos of people
of, of races Journal called

790
00:51:48,300 --> 00:51:50,700
that.
He crossed the line of genders.

791
00:51:50,700 --> 00:51:52,600
He crossed the cross for crying
out loud.

792
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:54,200
Amen.
Literally.

793
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:56,600
He put his body across the cross
and bridge, the gap between

794
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:59,800
Heaven and Earth.
Earth and made it way for us for

795
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:03,500
forgiveness that he exchanged
all of his righteousness for all

796
00:52:03,500 --> 00:52:06,200
of our wrongs and bridges the
way, the it calls on Jesus be

797
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:08,900
forgiven it made you.
That's what Christ did for us.

798
00:52:08,900 --> 00:52:11,500
Amen.
And so now we get to cross lines

799
00:52:11,500 --> 00:52:13,500
for others.
We're going to kind of people

800
00:52:13,500 --> 00:52:16,000
that are going to lead into The
Fray they're gonna live on

801
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:17,800
Mission.
They're going to invite people

802
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:21,100
that we would never invite in
our normal life into our life.

803
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:23,100
Just so we can see them find
Jesus.

804
00:52:23,100 --> 00:52:24,900
Amen.
They're really kind of people

805
00:52:24,900 --> 00:52:26,700
are Salt and Light to our
neighborhoods.

806
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:30,100
Invite people over at our table
had the Backyard Barbecue and

807
00:52:30,100 --> 00:52:33,100
that neighbor that annoys you.
Come on somebody, the guys like

808
00:52:33,100 --> 00:52:35,500
Deeds Jesus, you know, I'm
talking about the person that

809
00:52:35,500 --> 00:52:37,300
you're like, man out about that
guy.

810
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:39,100
Yeah, that's the guy that God's
going to change.

811
00:52:39,100 --> 00:52:41,600
Amen.
He's not beyond the grace of

812
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:43,300
God.
There's no, he's not be on the

813
00:52:43,300 --> 00:52:46,200
things of God and these
religious leaders, with a cross

814
00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:50,200
their arms and said, nah, nah,
this religion in it, for me,

815
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:53,700
this isn't the way I want God to
be, and it across her arms and

816
00:52:53,700 --> 00:52:56,500
it would have kept people outs.
I've been to churches like that.

817
00:52:56,500 --> 00:52:57,800
I'm not saying that's our church
at all.

818
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:00,800
Eh, Amen, we're not that church
but the reality there's people

819
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:03,400
that do this quite often.
There's a religious people do

820
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:05,900
this quite often.
I can't believe her as people

821
00:53:05,900 --> 00:53:08,800
let those people in Hebrew that
person serving, man.

822
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:10,200
You believe God's and use them
that doubt.

823
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:12,000
There's no way.
Look at all I've done, man,

824
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:13,800
we're going to three young
Easter gatherings.

825
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:17,000
I like going to three all Too
much work.

826
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:22,600
It really do people come to
Christ sabourin doing it for

827
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:25,200
its.
We started this for and the rat.

828
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:29,000
The reality is this we get to do
this like we get to play the

829
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:31,900
part of the story God we get to
share the good news of Jesus.

830
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:35,700
We get to play it, just a small
microcosm of a piece of God or

831
00:53:35,700 --> 00:53:38,200
God is lives being changed and
people come to Christ.

832
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:40,100
We get to be a part of.
This is a call of God.

833
00:53:40,100 --> 00:53:43,400
Amen.
Your ambassador of God, you're

834
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:45,900
the work of God.
You're the best Bible in Bates.

835
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:49,100
Ever going to read your kids are
going to read you like a book.

836
00:53:49,500 --> 00:53:51,200
You know, it's just so cool to
play a part of the store with

837
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:53,900
your family.
I mean, as as a family, you guys

838
00:53:53,900 --> 00:53:56,900
should have family devotions.
You guys should be getting in

839
00:53:56,900 --> 00:53:59,200
the word of God and you reach
your children for the cause of

840
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:01,800
Christ.
I hate seeing church kids leave

841
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:05,400
God has all time though.
Doesn't it Ministry.

842
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:07,300
Kids church kids to get burned
down on the stuff.

843
00:54:07,300 --> 00:54:08,400
It's like you live it out at
home.

844
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:10,500
Amen.
Make you try to get out your

845
00:54:10,500 --> 00:54:12,900
Bible and do devotion and make
it really short.

846
00:54:12,900 --> 00:54:16,000
Come on somebody.
Make it fun, do some fun stuff.

847
00:54:16,100 --> 00:54:19,200
With your Bible, right?
And just is pray with them and

848
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:21,100
give them Jesus and it's been
cool.

849
00:54:21,100 --> 00:54:24,700
My family, I've been reading the
Bible with the my with the kids

850
00:54:24,700 --> 00:54:27,000
but really just Jack, you know,
and it's so cool.

851
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:29,100
I taught them.
The word of God is a sword and

852
00:54:29,100 --> 00:54:31,800
he's like, dad's not sword a
sword.

853
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:33,900
He's just like, you know, just
like does he understand what I'm

854
00:54:33,900 --> 00:54:35,300
saying?
It's something that's a sword,

855
00:54:35,300 --> 00:54:37,400
you know, this is the word of
God is like and so I read the

856
00:54:37,408 --> 00:54:39,500
verses to him showed him.
Now I'm doing this or Jewels

857
00:54:39,500 --> 00:54:42,100
with my boy Jack you know and
you know he's only kindergarten

858
00:54:42,100 --> 00:54:45,800
right so I'm like hey just go to
Mark you know 14 and he finds

859
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:47,600
me.
Mark 14 and boy, that guy found

860
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:49,500
one like three seconds.
I was like, dude, you mark that

861
00:54:49,500 --> 00:54:52,300
you cheated or something, right?
I mean, it's crazy, but it's

862
00:54:52,300 --> 00:54:53,800
cool seeing him.
Pick up things of God.

863
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:57,100
We actually finished the book of
Mark when the two nights ago,

864
00:54:57,400 --> 00:55:00,100
read each chapter, and I just
kind of picked up most nights,

865
00:55:00,100 --> 00:55:02,100
you know, it just, but he was
passionate about it, you know,

866
00:55:02,300 --> 00:55:04,300
and he'd ask questions and
halftime wouldn't listen, and we

867
00:55:04,300 --> 00:55:06,900
kind of gather, you know, just
but just like push the things we

868
00:55:06,900 --> 00:55:09,900
got to pull things got being a
witness at home and we could do

869
00:55:09,900 --> 00:55:11,500
this with all people our lives,
right?

870
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:14,500
The great joys of his parents
have seen her kids come to

871
00:55:14,500 --> 00:55:15,900
Christ and follow Jesus.
Amen.

872
00:55:16,900 --> 00:55:18,500
So we'll cross any line for
that.

873
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:21,200
And so the route is were called
across lines for every single

874
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:23,700
person that's who God has called
us to be the church calls to me

875
00:55:24,100 --> 00:55:26,000
throughout is this.
We're not better than males.

876
00:55:26,300 --> 00:55:27,400
We're just forgiving.
Amen.

877
00:55:28,100 --> 00:55:29,700
It's the real deal of difference
between me and my lost.

878
00:55:29,700 --> 00:55:32,800
Brother is, I've been found.
That's it, I'm not better than

879
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:34,200
them.
My poop still stinks.

880
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:37,300
Come on somebody, right?
Look, we're all skeletons

881
00:55:37,300 --> 00:55:39,300
closet, all battles.
We face all these things.

882
00:55:39,300 --> 00:55:41,900
This isn't a prayer Perfection.
It's a prayer of confession.

883
00:55:42,300 --> 00:55:44,400
Like you're not like oh God I'm
be perfect for you is like God,

884
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:48,400
I'm forgiven and now we get the
Tune to show another person.

885
00:55:48,500 --> 00:55:50,400
Where the food is this?
A God?

886
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:51,900
But I've only God's grace.
I'm alive.

887
00:55:51,900 --> 00:55:53,700
Somebody God's grace, I've been
changed.

888
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:55,200
Don't you think about the thief
on the cross?

889
00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:58,700
This is how God's grace works.
This is, this is the kind of

890
00:55:58,700 --> 00:56:01,900
tourist centers that Jesus
forgives thing about the thief

891
00:56:01,900 --> 00:56:03,800
on the cross.
Now I just can't wait to get to

892
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:06,600
heaven and ask this man.
How did you actually make it

893
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:08,800
into heaven?
Let me think about this, this

894
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:13,100
thief on the cross.
He was cussing in mocking Jesus

895
00:56:13,500 --> 00:56:16,500
moments or minutes or maybe
within an hour's.

896
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:20,800
Of Jesus dying for our sins.
He's cussing him with his friend

897
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:23,400
on the cross.
And he like, he just got never

898
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:26,400
prayed.
Like, he didn't go to synagogue,

899
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:28,800
he didn't get baptized.
Come on somebody.

900
00:56:29,100 --> 00:56:31,300
He didn't read through the
Septuagint, memorize the Bible

901
00:56:31,300 --> 00:56:33,400
at the Pharisees did, they
didn't memorize first five books

902
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:37,200
of the Bible, he never gave, he
never served a cup of cold water

903
00:56:37,300 --> 00:56:40,800
and the name of God, he didn't
go out and lead a movement.

904
00:56:40,900 --> 00:56:44,000
He didn't show up on a Sunday or
Saturday at that point.

905
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:45,400
He didn't sacrifice in the
system.

906
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:48,300
He was a criminal All this guy
probably ever prayed for ate a

907
00:56:48,300 --> 00:56:50,200
meal.
Yeah.

908
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:53,100
How in the world did he get in?
Now think about this part of the

909
00:56:53,100 --> 00:56:54,800
angel pie asking to showed up,
right?

910
00:56:55,100 --> 00:56:58,400
Like he dies like Easter Sunday
and Angels like what are you

911
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:02,300
doing here?
What are you doing?

912
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:07,400
I don't know.
Here.

913
00:57:08,100 --> 00:57:10,900
Well, how'd you get here?
I don't know.

914
00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:14,500
You don't know you ever prayed
or you follow God?

915
00:57:14,500 --> 00:57:17,800
I I don't know that.
Let me get my supervisor Angel,

916
00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:19,900
right?
Let's pump this up the pipeline

917
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:22,100
figure.
This out, this one's hard cases.

918
00:57:22,300 --> 00:57:24,000
So, Here Comes This Archangel.
Right.

919
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:25,700
It's like, hey, what's your
name?

920
00:57:25,700 --> 00:57:29,300
I'm just a thief on the cross.
Oh, well, how'd you get here?

921
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:31,900
I don't know.
Well, you clearly understand the

922
00:57:31,908 --> 00:57:35,000
doctrine of justification
through faith in Christ, huh.

923
00:57:35,500 --> 00:57:37,100
Did you believe in the inerrancy
of Sure.

924
00:57:39,500 --> 00:57:41,100
You believe in the dwell in the
Holy Spirit.

925
00:57:41,100 --> 00:57:42,400
You're sealed.
Always put her promise and a

926
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:48,100
Redemption.
But what basis why allow you to

927
00:57:48,100 --> 00:57:50,700
come into heaven?
I love it all.

928
00:57:50,700 --> 00:57:54,000
The thief on the cross have to
say is the man little cross said

929
00:57:54,300 --> 00:57:57,700
I could come.
That's the only thing folks.

930
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:04,700
The only qualification is that
Jesus said you could come, I

931
00:58:04,700 --> 00:58:08,100
love what Jesus does here in his
dying breath.

932
00:58:08,700 --> 00:58:13,700
When we mankind humanity is
crucifying them jamming sword

933
00:58:13,700 --> 00:58:19,200
into feeding given vinegar.
Mocking him was bleeding and

934
00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:24,200
suffocating a died about to take
on the sins of all Humanity.

935
00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:27,000
Here's the heart of God as it
Lily bleeds for us.

936
00:58:28,700 --> 00:58:32,600
Today, you'll be with me in
Paradise to the most notorious

937
00:58:33,100 --> 00:58:37,000
sinner in that day.
Come on somebody.

938
00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:40,100
That's the grace of God.
And for those of us are like,

939
00:58:40,100 --> 00:58:41,900
I'm not good enough and God
never loved me.

940
00:58:41,900 --> 00:58:44,500
And I mean, if God knew what I
did, oh, bro, he knows what you

941
00:58:44,508 --> 00:58:45,700
did.
Come on somebody.

942
00:58:46,500 --> 00:58:52,200
And he loves you to forgive you
and where the words Jesus at his

943
00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:56,300
best, but what example, he says,
all these religious leaders are

944
00:58:56,300 --> 00:59:00,700
crucifying Jesus and Jesus is
Bringing people with him to

945
00:59:00,700 --> 00:59:01,800
Heaven.
Is there.

946
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:04,200
No.
Greater example of what it is to

947
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:08,800
be as a Christian to look no
further than the cross dying.

948
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:11,200
Breaths.
He still bringing people with

949
00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:12,900
it.
What do you think our life is

950
00:59:12,900 --> 00:59:15,800
called to be like do you think
Jesus died?

951
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:17,700
So you could have the American
dream and then on the side you

952
00:59:17,700 --> 00:59:21,000
can go to church.
You think Jesus died.

953
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:23,700
So you can have your way and
then if come somehow to

954
00:59:23,707 --> 00:59:26,100
spiritually, that's cool.
I'm one day.

955
00:59:26,100 --> 00:59:28,100
We got a fast forward to going
to heaven and we're going to

956
00:59:28,107 --> 00:59:31,400
meet this guy named Paul.
We all know Paul, right.

957
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:33,400
We've been a church.
We preached on that stuff, all

958
00:59:33,400 --> 00:59:36,000
get the church you learn about
Paula but the reality is we

959
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:37,600
might we're going to be
following day and say man, it

960
00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:39,200
was incredible, what you did for
the gospel.

961
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:41,300
He's going to tell us some
stories man.

962
00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:43,800
I'm with the Bible is not
recording all these credible

963
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:45,900
stories but he's it's about, we
on the road to Damascus.

964
00:59:45,900 --> 00:59:47,300
He was persecuting Christians.
Right?

965
00:59:47,300 --> 00:59:49,600
Who's passionate right?
He was Hebrew.

966
00:59:49,700 --> 00:59:52,700
Ooh, Hebrews, and he was killing
Christians, and maybe how he's

967
00:59:52,700 --> 00:59:55,500
scared to death of.
And Jesus talked to him and he

968
00:59:55,500 --> 00:59:57,800
skills are as eyes.
And he thought I was gonna die.

969
00:59:58,000 --> 00:59:59,900
You got poop my pants.
You just can't tell you this,

970
00:59:59,900 --> 01:00:01,900
right?
And then, then I'll scales fell

971
01:00:01,900 --> 01:00:03,000
off.
And he went to Jerusalem, and he

972
01:00:03,008 --> 01:00:05,000
doesn't die again because now
the Christians are trying to

973
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:06,900
kill him, right?
This way, things are going to

974
01:00:06,900 --> 01:00:10,100
kill him and so he jumps at your
gets the basket low down a wall,

975
01:00:10,200 --> 01:00:13,200
the cause of Christ, that he met
Jesus, and she just changed his

976
01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:15,800
life.
Like Lily had the conversation

977
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:18,200
sat down like the, you know,
Wilderness experience.

978
01:00:18,700 --> 01:00:23,100
Let's put us all Jesus.
And then I lived on Mission, he

979
01:00:23,100 --> 01:00:26,200
would travel a missionary
Journeys, and those doses call

980
01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:29,300
was to leave.
Were, is at to bring people the

981
01:00:29,300 --> 01:00:32,400
gospel and really, to bring
people to Jesus and how he go

982
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:35,000
around the kind of known world
that Mediterranean Sea on three

983
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:38,000
different Journeys, not be
Shipwrecked and how you get to

984
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:41,400
preach the Kings and into
Caesar, and all people are so

985
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:43,700
close to coming to Christ and
some of them did and had made

986
01:00:43,700 --> 01:00:45,500
the gospel to Spain.
And you start here addition to

987
01:00:45,508 --> 01:00:47,900
people like hey here's some guys
at that led to Christ that God

988
01:00:47,900 --> 01:00:50,300
used me just a small piece of
store but hey this Is Timothy.

989
01:00:50,300 --> 01:00:52,500
Come on somebody, write this
book, you've heard him, right?

990
01:00:52,500 --> 01:00:54,800
And then there's Titus and this
is a Aquila and Priscilla and

991
01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:58,200
its darkest darkest and these
are all these people early

992
01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:00,600
Christian face.
All these guys who are high five

993
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:02,900
motor club, right?
We're all killed for their

994
01:01:02,900 --> 01:01:04,400
faith.
This is, this is what we did,

995
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:06,500
and this is where we went and
pulls.

996
01:01:06,500 --> 01:01:09,000
You told these stories, your sit
there and listen to him, like,

997
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:12,800
man is so cool what you did.
And then pausing to ask you, he

998
01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:14,600
said, where did you go with the
gospel?

999
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:18,700
But what Ali did you go down
what city did you reach?

1000
01:01:18,700 --> 01:01:21,100
What church did you plan?
What Bible said you start?

1001
01:01:21,100 --> 01:01:24,900
Who's with you who'd, you bring,
who'd you grow where these

1002
01:01:24,900 --> 01:01:27,100
people at.
What was like how did you reach

1003
01:01:27,100 --> 01:01:28,300
your city?
What would you change?

1004
01:01:28,300 --> 01:01:30,200
What?
He shake up and Bellman room are

1005
01:01:30,200 --> 01:01:31,700
Cass County.
What you do?

1006
01:01:32,500 --> 01:01:35,600
Would you go?
And the rally is this for so

1007
01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:37,700
many Christians, especially
American Christians.

1008
01:01:38,300 --> 01:01:40,400
The answer is simply going to
be, I went to church.

1009
01:01:41,900 --> 01:01:49,800
I went to church.
I don't know if Paul came to the

1010
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:51,800
Mountain church.
I heard this recently America

1011
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:53,600
here, I'd know letter.
Come on somebody.

1012
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:59,500
Somehow we've confused
Christianity with a Sunday

1013
01:01:59,500 --> 01:02:03,200
morning.
Somehow we confuse that we bring

1014
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:05,000
people.
That means that we show up and

1015
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:07,800
if God, you know, just lifestyle
evangelism baby.

1016
01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:11,800
It just happens bro.
We fight uphill for the things

1017
01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:14,000
of Christ, my mother's got a
church.

1018
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:15,000
So passion all things through
Christ.

1019
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:17,300
He said if God called me to
reach my hands into a burning

1020
01:02:17,300 --> 01:02:20,300
room and the fires of hell I'd
grab somebody and pulling on my

1021
01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:25,200
skit about off in a boy's the
Vangelis for Christ.

1022
01:02:25,700 --> 01:02:29,300
I'm not saying to be that We're
all called to be an evangelist,

1023
01:02:29,300 --> 01:02:32,000
a men, like you think it's a
happened.

1024
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:33,600
Change that God's put me in
these moments.

1025
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:38,100
And if your life is hard season
right now because on display for

1026
01:02:38,100 --> 01:02:41,500
you to tell the people, hey, you
know, this is nothing because

1027
01:02:41,500 --> 01:02:43,800
I'm forgiven, this is, this is
nothing.

1028
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:45,800
This is temporary, man.
I'm about to walked in on the

1029
01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:50,100
wrapped up and this perhaps that
this is God just showing off and

1030
01:02:50,100 --> 01:02:51,600
I want to help you see what God
has.

1031
01:02:51,900 --> 01:02:54,400
Your story is the most powerful
thing you could ever share.

1032
01:02:55,100 --> 01:02:57,000
That's what you're going to do.
This were called to.

1033
01:02:57,008 --> 01:02:59,100
This is A new service.
You know, something we set out

1034
01:02:59,100 --> 01:03:00,600
today?
Did you like?

1035
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:03,300
This is a scattering of the
Gathering, right?

1036
01:03:03,700 --> 01:03:07,100
Like, we're not going to come
back alone and just invest in

1037
01:03:07,100 --> 01:03:08,700
people.
I love the strategies Redemptive

1038
01:03:08,700 --> 01:03:11,500
relationships people that you
every person in your life, who

1039
01:03:11,500 --> 01:03:14,100
has see as a relationship that
God put there for you to be a

1040
01:03:14,100 --> 01:03:15,500
part of their Redemption.
Amen.

1041
01:03:16,500 --> 01:03:19,700
That's that every person, every
person including your family

1042
01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:23,500
including your lost family guys,
put you there to be ridiculous

1043
01:03:23,500 --> 01:03:25,300
ship.
The second thing is to invest in

1044
01:03:25,300 --> 01:03:27,300
the night, every person in your
life.

1045
01:03:27,500 --> 01:03:30,500
If you can simply just invest
in, you know, don't be that

1046
01:03:30,700 --> 01:03:32,700
weird old preacher that goes out
and bangs on door starts telling

1047
01:03:32,700 --> 01:03:35,200
about going to hell, right?
Everything's about of Angel.

1048
01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:37,900
Investing start preaching on a
street corner, dumb, talk about

1049
01:03:37,900 --> 01:03:40,800
stand next to somebody else at
the soccer game and saying, hey,

1050
01:03:40,800 --> 01:03:43,500
man, I've been noticing all the
games are so passionate about

1051
01:03:43,500 --> 01:03:44,700
stuff.
And what's your story?

1052
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:48,300
That's all I'm asking you to do.
I'm asking to be a weirdo, come

1053
01:03:48,300 --> 01:03:52,100
on somebody, huh?
But I am done asking me where to

1054
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:57,400
Please share Jesus, broken
people find things that are

1055
01:03:57,400 --> 01:03:59,300
broken.
They want them in.

1056
01:03:59,300 --> 01:04:02,700
Jesus is a solution in Jesus,
has the answer in Jesus

1057
01:04:02,700 --> 01:04:05,800
forgives, and Jesus loves Jesus
instead, Iraq.

1058
01:04:05,900 --> 01:04:06,900
You'll have to have your life
together.

1059
01:04:06,900 --> 01:04:09,500
To tell us about Jesus, many
people came to Christ in his

1060
01:04:09,500 --> 01:04:12,100
last year of this church came
from people, their lives are so

1061
01:04:12,100 --> 01:04:14,000
jacked up, people couldn't
believe their following Jesus,

1062
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:17,000
and that's why they sleep.
All right, I'm just encourage

1063
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:20,100
you this season in this moment.
I believe God is calling us to

1064
01:04:20,100 --> 01:04:21,500
be the kind of person that we
get to heaven.

1065
01:04:21,500 --> 01:04:23,500
We tell Paul.
Hey, when I want you to know

1066
01:04:23,500 --> 01:04:25,300
about, Down the room warm and
God did some stuff.

1067
01:04:25,300 --> 01:04:27,700
Thank you, Fellers, by the way,
but I think God's derailleur

1068
01:04:27,700 --> 01:04:29,900
through our church.
I think God could do crib.

1069
01:04:29,900 --> 01:04:32,900
So, through our church, we
reached our city and Beyond we

1070
01:04:32,900 --> 01:04:35,100
were going on Craigslist or
churches and send people out

1071
01:04:35,100 --> 01:04:37,100
because the spirit of God, just
called Super Bowl with the

1072
01:04:37,100 --> 01:04:40,200
gospel, and it didn't look like
it did back then, but it looks

1073
01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:42,800
like it does.
Now we just give them, Jesus,

1074
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:45,400
we're praying for people.
So God does have a Revival in

1075
01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:47,700
our city.
This is this a story as we could

1076
01:04:47,700 --> 01:04:48,700
to write today.
Amen.

1077
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:52,000
That's the story that matters.
That's the only story, The

1078
01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:54,700
Ultimate matters so says in
Romans 10:14.

1079
01:04:54,700 --> 01:04:57,400
This is last scripture where had
her day, but it says this.

1080
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:00,900
It says how then can they call
on the one?

1081
01:05:00,900 --> 01:05:03,700
Who the never believed in?
How can they believe in the one?

1082
01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:07,700
Never heard.
How in the world is the world

1083
01:05:07,700 --> 01:05:10,200
going to know about Jesus?
They don't hear the good news of

1084
01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:14,200
Jesus from somebody's been
changed by Jesus and how can

1085
01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:16,300
they hear without someone
preaching to them, sharing the

1086
01:05:16,300 --> 01:05:19,200
good news of the Gospel, not
going to preach unless they're

1087
01:05:19,200 --> 01:05:23,500
sent by God as it is written.
How beautiful are the feet of

1088
01:05:23,500 --> 01:05:27,800
those who bring good news.
God is giving you beautiful

1089
01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:31,900
feet, come on, somebody to bring
the good news of the gospel and

1090
01:05:31,900 --> 01:05:34,500
today is a sending service, but
that means is I'm going to

1091
01:05:34,500 --> 01:05:38,000
invite you guys to say As the
holy spirit of God to play a

1092
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:40,200
part of the story of bringing
people to Jesus, not just

1093
01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:42,600
bringing people to hear, but
being a witness or your ad.

1094
01:05:42,600 --> 01:05:45,300
I'm just believing God's use
your church every single day.

1095
01:05:45,500 --> 01:05:49,300
This next year and Beyond to
throw a party in heaven.

1096
01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:52,900
You guys ready for this?
Be part of the story of what

1097
01:05:52,900 --> 01:05:55,200
Jesus is going to write as
believe in God.

1098
01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:56,600
You do something credible
through us.

1099
01:05:57,200 --> 01:05:59,800
The name of Jesus.
I'm going to cross some lines

1100
01:06:00,100 --> 01:06:03,800
and stop at nothing to bring the
good news of the Gospel to bring

1101
01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:07,100
people to him.
Probably come before you You got

1102
01:06:07,100 --> 01:06:09,400
thank you for what you did to us
for us.

1103
01:06:09,500 --> 01:06:11,100
You stopped at nothing to get to
us.

1104
01:06:11,100 --> 01:06:14,100
You brought us with you, even
your dying breath.

1105
01:06:14,100 --> 01:06:16,900
He forgave sins of the worst of
the worst and since the day God,

1106
01:06:16,900 --> 01:06:20,400
we play a part of your story and
Son prayed for those today that

1107
01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:23,400
say yes to Jesus.
I feel like spirit of God for

1108
01:06:23,400 --> 01:06:28,400
the call of God that was sent
out as a messenger as a as a

1109
01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:31,500
basa der than my life was more
than just a video game, or a

1110
01:06:31,500 --> 01:06:34,900
sport, or a school or work.
My game is on a mission.

1111
01:06:35,100 --> 01:06:36,100
There's relationships in my
life.

1112
01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:39,600
That I'm going to do my best to
share, Jesus with and pray for,

1113
01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:41,900
and care for, and invest in the
Vite.

1114
01:06:41,900 --> 01:06:44,400
So this year, it's just all in
for Jesus.

1115
01:06:44,600 --> 01:06:46,100
I don't see.
God reached my family and my

1116
01:06:46,100 --> 01:06:48,800
community Beyond I was going to
play the part of the story and

1117
01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:51,100
maybe for some of us, we think,
Matt, I just been going to

1118
01:06:51,100 --> 01:06:54,100
church today.
I want to change that store and

1119
01:06:54,100 --> 01:06:55,000
I go to heaven.
So you know what?

1120
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:56,600
I want all across the place.
I'm at a you were.

1121
01:06:56,600 --> 01:06:58,400
God brought me.
So they had that.

1122
01:06:58,400 --> 01:07:01,600
You feel like God is asking to
be sent out this year and bring

1123
01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:03,200
people to Jesus.
I have a look around, you'll

1124
01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:05,700
lose your hand high, and that's
me when playing the part of the

1125
01:07:05,700 --> 01:07:08,000
story.
Three kids all across the place.

1126
01:07:08,400 --> 01:07:12,500
Father God, see the hands into
the hearts God to use us got as

1127
01:07:12,500 --> 01:07:16,100
missionaries.
God uses us as Messengers guys.

1128
01:07:16,100 --> 01:07:18,500
Ambassadors for you.
God to do every part of our life

1129
01:07:18,500 --> 01:07:20,900
is a Ministry.
God is not Sunday morning.

1130
01:07:20,900 --> 01:07:22,100
God.
Help us to be the church.

1131
01:07:22,100 --> 01:07:24,900
Not go to church.
God help us to serve you and

1132
01:07:24,900 --> 01:07:27,200
give us strength.
God, that really church starts.

1133
01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:29,700
Now it just lasts or entire
lives.

1134
01:07:29,700 --> 01:07:32,100
Got so ever, we go governed
bring the church with us and

1135
01:07:32,100 --> 01:07:34,000
we're inviting people into the
fold.

1136
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:35,900
You're buying lost, brothers and
sisters.

1137
01:07:36,200 --> 01:07:37,900
Look down on.
Nobody got were no different

1138
01:07:37,900 --> 01:07:39,100
than then that could have been
us.

1139
01:07:39,300 --> 01:07:41,400
It was us.
And so God, give us a

1140
01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:43,300
mouthpiece.
That's both of the Gospel.

1141
01:07:43,500 --> 01:07:46,500
Let's pray, big prayers and love
on people and see you change

1142
01:07:47,500 --> 01:07:49,500
paper, a group.
People in those of you that had

1143
01:07:49,500 --> 01:07:53,000
recognized, you're not the thief
on the cross but you can relate

1144
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:55,700
to a thief on the cross, but you
walked in a day and you thought

1145
01:07:55,700 --> 01:07:57,900
mean I've really done nothing
spiritual, but I feel the power

1146
01:07:57,900 --> 01:08:00,700
of God and I feel like I need to
hear the words of God today,

1147
01:08:00,700 --> 01:08:03,200
that you can come, you can come
home today.

1148
01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:06,000
I recognize that Jesus died for
me, he loved me.

1149
01:08:06,100 --> 01:08:08,000
Today on your relationship with
Jesus.

1150
01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:11,400
I've been, I've been doing my
own way but today, recognize I

1151
01:08:11,408 --> 01:08:15,500
need to come home today, that my
father in Heaven is waiting and

1152
01:08:15,500 --> 01:08:19,500
watching for me to grab me and
embrace me say I love you and

1153
01:08:19,500 --> 01:08:22,399
say, welcome home, and throw a
party today in heaven.

1154
01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:25,200
And so today, if you need Jesus
would I be looking around?

1155
01:08:25,500 --> 01:08:27,000
That's you Davies.
Raise your hand high in his

1156
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:28,600

1157
01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:31,800

And I pray this in Jesus name,

1174
01:09:16,399 --> 01:09:19,399
the church said, amen.
Come on, give it up for God.

resources that we have.

1184
01:09:43,700 --> 01:09:47,000
And another thing you could do
on your way, out the door here,

1185
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:49,600
there's a table in the back with
some red bags and each of those

1186
01:09:49,600 --> 01:09:52,500
bags is a Bible and you can just
take one of those home with you.

1187
01:09:53,100 --> 01:09:56,400
Just dive into God's word, man.
Just see what he has for you

1188
01:09:56,400 --> 01:09:58,100

there as well and we're just
again, I can't stress enough how

1190
01:10:02,500 --> 01:10:06,100
excited we are for you.
If you made that decision today,

1191
01:10:06,200 --> 01:10:09,900
you know, Sean just got done
challenging us to really stop at

1192
01:10:09,900 --> 01:10:14,300
nothing to bring people to
Jesus, I want to give you some

1193
01:10:14,300 --> 01:10:16,700
steps.
You can take starting today,

1194
01:10:16,700 --> 01:10:19,500
actually.
So tonight is a really cool

1195
01:10:19,500 --> 01:10:22,500
opportunity.
If you are a teen or if you're a

1196
01:10:22,600 --> 01:10:25,700
A parent that has a teen.
And of course as you can see

1197
01:10:25,700 --> 01:10:29,000
right here, this this glorious
image, it's nugget night

1198
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:30,600
tonight.
How cool does that sound?

1199
01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:33,800
And you know, I am a little bit
bummed I see the cut off his

1200
01:10:33,800 --> 01:10:36,100
12th grade.
I was trying to Lobby to maybe

1201
01:10:36,100 --> 01:10:39,100
push that up a little bit for
some other nuggets fans like

1202
01:10:39,100 --> 01:10:41,700
myself, but they they stress,
you know, teens only.

1203
01:10:41,700 --> 01:10:44,400
So you got to respect that.
But if you've never checked out

1204
01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:48,400
life group before what an
awesome opportunity to dive in

1205
01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:51,100
tonight, it's a great group.
Full of awesome people.

1206
01:10:51,100 --> 01:10:52,500
You're going to hear a gospel
message.

1207
01:10:52,700 --> 01:10:55,000
It's straight from the Bible are
going to have so much fun,

1208
01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:56,700
you're going to eat.
There's literally going to be

1209
01:10:56,700 --> 01:10:59,600
like hundreds and hundreds of
nuggets is what I've been told.

1210
01:10:59,600 --> 01:11:02,200
And I'm sure the dipping sauces
will be a plenty.

1211
01:11:02,400 --> 01:11:05,400
So you'll want to be there.
And we would just love to see

1212
01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:09,000
you guys there at 6:00 tonight
at The Hope Center.

1213
01:11:09,100 --> 01:11:11,000
And then I can't even believe
we're saying.

1214
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:13,200
This already feels like the new
year was just behind us.

1215
01:11:13,200 --> 01:11:16,100
We're only three weeks away from
Easter.

1216
01:11:16,100 --> 01:11:18,500
Can you believe that?
And so, yeah, man.

1217
01:11:18,500 --> 01:11:22,400
Easter is awesome and, and just
really continuing that idea of

1218
01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:26,700
bringing Bringing people, what a
better time to do that Easter at

1219
01:11:26,700 --> 01:11:28,300
Real Life Church, really
excited.

1220
01:11:28,300 --> 01:11:32,700
Just to celebrate all that Jesus
did for us, you know, we could

1221
01:11:32,700 --> 01:11:36,800
live a thousand lifetimes and
never match his glory.

1222
01:11:36,800 --> 01:11:40,600
We could never do anything to
get the gift of Salvation to

1223
01:11:40,600 --> 01:11:43,700
earn it ourselves.
It's because of his free gift,

1224
01:11:43,700 --> 01:11:46,300
it's because of his grace and
his mercy and we get to

1225
01:11:46,300 --> 01:11:50,000
celebrate that in a huge way.
And so we're really excited to

1226
01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:52,500
just open the space up for
three.

1227
01:11:52,700 --> 01:11:55,500
Gatherings on Easter morning,
that's going to give more

1228
01:11:55,500 --> 01:11:59,300
opportunities for more people to
find time in their schedule to

1229
01:11:59,300 --> 01:12:01,500
come out here.
That's going to just equip our

1230
01:12:01,500 --> 01:12:04,400
children's ministry to have more
room for more.

1231
01:12:04,400 --> 01:12:08,000
Kids, just come out and have a
great time, so get excited.

1232
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:11,600
If you're not already and be
praying over who you can just be

1233
01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:15,400
bringing out to Easter at real
life, Church's cards on your

1234
01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:19,000
seat and then also.
So the kids are going to be

1235
01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:22,000
bringing home cards as well too,
and they're going to get a

1236
01:12:22,008 --> 01:12:25,400
special A prize, if any of our
kids, bring a friend on that

1237
01:12:25,400 --> 01:12:27,100
morning.
So make sure you let them know

1238
01:12:27,100 --> 01:12:29,300
about that.
There's going to be Easter egg

1239
01:12:29,300 --> 01:12:31,900
hunts that each of the three
Gatherings.

1240
01:12:31,900 --> 01:12:33,800
How cool is that?
They're going to leave here with

1241
01:12:33,800 --> 01:12:35,900
eggs, full of toys, and all
sorts of stuff.

1242
01:12:35,900 --> 01:12:37,800
And of course they're going to
hear about the real reason.

1243
01:12:37,800 --> 01:12:41,000
It's not about the bunny, right?
They're going to hear about a

1244
01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:43,600
God who loves them by sending
his son Jesus.

1245
01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:46,800
Now, there's so many cool things
that are happening that morning

1246
01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:49,300
and you can tell it's going to
be a whole lot of fun, but I

1247
01:12:49,300 --> 01:12:52,600
mean, I think maybe just the
cherry on top of all that is.

1248
01:12:52,600 --> 01:12:56,000
We also get to celebrate
baptisms.

1249
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:59,800
Who's excited for another round
of bad's isms at Real Life

1250
01:12:59,800 --> 01:13:02,300
Church, man?
That's what that's just like the

1251
01:13:02,300 --> 01:13:06,100
lifeblood of what we do.
It's just that celebration of

1252
01:13:06,100 --> 01:13:09,300
everyone who's made these
decisions and so maybe I'm

1253
01:13:09,300 --> 01:13:11,900
talking to you right now.
Maybe you have made that

1254
01:13:11,900 --> 01:13:15,200
decision for Christ over these
last several weeks or months

1255
01:13:15,200 --> 01:13:18,600
since the last time we've done
baptisms and you're ready to

1256
01:13:18,600 --> 01:13:20,300
make that bold statement of
faith.

1257
01:13:20,300 --> 01:13:23,100
And I just encourage you.
If that's you Get on the

1258
01:13:23,100 --> 01:13:26,800
website, Real Life, Church
kc.com, and sign up for baptism.

1259
01:13:26,800 --> 01:13:29,000
Or maybe you've just been kind
of wondering what that looks

1260
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:30,900
like.
Go ahead and do that even if

1261
01:13:30,900 --> 01:13:32,700
you're not so sure.
Because we would love to reach

1262
01:13:32,700 --> 01:13:36,300
out to you hear your story and
just help you on that next step

1263
01:13:36,300 --> 01:13:38,600
of your journey.
So be excited to be praying

1264
01:13:38,600 --> 01:13:42,300
about this.

funding, a flyer, a mailer is a
better way of saying that a male

1270
01:13:59,400 --> 01:14:02,700
or that's going out to twenty
thousand houses in this

1271
01:14:02,700 --> 01:14:06,200
surrounding area, just letting
people know, hey, we're here.

1272
01:14:06,400 --> 01:14:09,100
We're for you.
There's a God who loves you and

1273
01:14:09,100 --> 01:14:12,900
we just want to help you connect
with him by connecting with

1274
01:14:12,900 --> 01:14:16,300
other believers and people who
are just supportive of you and

1275
01:14:16,300 --> 01:14:18,800
ready, just to meet you wherever
you're at and so that's because

1276
01:14:18,800 --> 01:14:21,400
of your generosity.
So thank you so much for playing

1277
01:14:21,400 --> 01:14:24,800
a part of that and we're just
Excited to see who God brings in

1278
01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:29,100
through these doors on Easter.
Now, if you don't call real life

1279
01:14:29,100 --> 01:14:31,900
home, if you're brand new this
week, I just want to say.

1280
01:14:31,900 --> 01:14:35,200
Again thanks for being here.
And number two, we're not going

1281
01:14:35,200 --> 01:14:38,600
to ask anything from you today.
In fact, we want something for

1282
01:14:38,600 --> 01:14:41,600
you, not something from you.
This Gathering was our gift to

1283
01:14:41,600 --> 01:14:43,100
you.
But if you do call real life

1284
01:14:43,100 --> 01:14:46,100
home, here's three ways that you
can play a part of generosity,

1285
01:14:46,100 --> 01:14:47,900
you can go to Real Life Church
kc.com.

1286
01:14:48,700 --> 01:14:52,100
You could text any amount to
eight four, three, two, one, or

1287
01:14:52,100 --> 01:14:54,300
you can drop.
Drop cash or envelopes checks,

1288
01:14:54,300 --> 01:14:56,300
all that good stuff.
We have the giving box in the

1289
01:14:56,300 --> 01:14:59,600
very back and of course our
Usher's are coming by with the

1290
01:14:59,600 --> 01:15:01,300
buckets.
If you find yourself this

1291
01:15:01,300 --> 01:15:04,900
morning in immediate need of
food or clothing or shelter.

1292
01:15:05,100 --> 01:15:07,400
We just invite you to go ahead
and reach in the bucket as it

1293
01:15:07,400 --> 01:15:10,700
passes by grab any loose cash.
You see you to take care of

1294
01:15:10,708 --> 01:15:14,800
those immediate needs today and
I invite you to check out this

1295
01:15:14,800 --> 01:15:25,700

1296
01:15:25,700 --> 01:15:29,300
