8
00:00:52,300 --> 00:00:57,500

Now we've is Fielding in our

00:05:18,700 --> 00:05:24,200
What a beautiful name.
It is what a beautiful name in

18
00:05:25,700 --> 00:05:33,000
the name of Jesus Christ.

19
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,700
A beautiful name.
It is.

20
00:05:36,700 --> 00:05:43,200
Nothing compares to this.
What a beautiful name it is the

21
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:59,500
name of Jesus.
Did he what his name is Jesus.

22
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:22,500
She was great love was great.
What a wonderful name is good.

23
00:06:57,100 --> 00:07:00,900
We were still Sinners are seeing
was great.

24
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,900
I gave you ultimate sacrifice
and sent his son Jesus to die,

25
00:07:05,900 --> 00:07:10,100
on the cross to forgive us of
all of our sins, all of our

26
00:07:10,100 --> 00:07:23,700
death, Serving and loving and
God he was So Graceful to prop

27
00:07:27,500 --> 00:07:30,900
my response to that is just so
that's it.

28
00:08:19,000 --> 00:10:27,400
George.
There we go, man.

29
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,200
I'd love to hear you guys
worship.

30
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,200
You just a beautiful thing just
to hear you guys.

31
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,900
Praise the beautiful name of
God, right?

32
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,800
Can we get him for god?
Let's hear it, you know.

33
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,500
Today we're going to slow down.
We're walking into the week that

34
00:10:42,500 --> 00:10:47,100
precedes Easter and it's just a
time to remember why we call his

35
00:10:47,100 --> 00:10:47,900
name.
Beautiful.

36
00:10:47,900 --> 00:10:50,000
It's what he did for us.
It's what he gave up.

37
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,300
And so we're going to do
something and we're going to

38
00:10:52,308 --> 00:10:54,100
have a time of remember.
So we're going to do that

39
00:10:54,100 --> 00:10:55,400
through something called
communion.

40
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,200
So you guys could take a moment
and have a seat as we as we

41
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:03,800
prepare our hearts.
So about two thousand years ago,

42
00:11:04,500 --> 00:11:07,400
Jesus was walking into his
passion week, you guys notice

43
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,800
The Passion of the Christ in his
a week, full of suffering and

44
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,300
pain.
But he did it with a purpose and

45
00:11:14,300 --> 00:11:17,500
he did it with the boldness and
he did it with faith willingness

46
00:11:18,300 --> 00:11:20,900
and he went through that pain
and suffering to bring the

47
00:11:20,900 --> 00:11:25,300
Perfect final sacrifice that
allows us to call allows us to

48
00:11:25,300 --> 00:11:27,700
be called forgiving.
And you did that because he

49
00:11:27,700 --> 00:11:31,400
loves us, he wants to establish
a relationship and bring us.

50
00:11:31,500 --> 00:11:35,200
Us back into his kingdom.
And so I want to start off by

51
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,400
reading a few chapters or not
few chapters.

52
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,600
A few verses from a prophet
named Isaiah and Isaiah

53
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,900
prophesied about what the
Messiah would do in.

54
00:11:43,900 --> 00:11:46,800
Jesus was a filled these words
so read with me and Isaiah

55
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:51,300
chapter, 53 says, but he was
pierced for our transgressions

56
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,400
and I want to pause there for
just a second.

57
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,600
When I when you hear the word
pierced, I want you guys to

58
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,800
think of the nails that went in
Jesus, hands and feet in the

59
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,200
spear.
That went in a side.

60
00:12:01,100 --> 00:12:04,500
This case.
A cost, and he was crushed for

61
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:09,000
our iniquities.
Iniquity is think of this, it's

62
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,400
our sin.
It's everything that we've done

63
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,300
wrong, it's everything, that
we've turned to the left when we

64
00:12:14,300 --> 00:12:16,500
should have gone, right.
The things that God has called

65
00:12:16,500 --> 00:12:20,300
us to do and we turn our back on
it and we didn't pursue those

66
00:12:20,300 --> 00:12:23,200
things.
He says the punishment that

67
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:28,400
brought us peace was on him.
And by his wounds, we are healed

68
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,100
by the thing that Jesus went
through.

69
00:12:30,300 --> 00:12:34,600
We have our salvation and we all
like sheep have gone astray.

70
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:39,800
Each of us has turned to our own
way and the lord has laid on

71
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,300
him.
The iniquity of us, all Jesus

72
00:12:42,300 --> 00:12:47,800
bore our transgressions, the
things that we did our personal

73
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:52,600
health, God placed on Jesus, In
This Moment In This crucifixion,

74
00:12:53,300 --> 00:12:56,900
and he continues in 53:12.
He says this.

75
00:12:56,900 --> 00:12:59,800
He says, he poured out his life
unto death and he was numbered

76
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,900
with the transgressors, the It's
endless Lamb of God, was hung

77
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,200
between two guys that were
thieves.

78
00:13:08,500 --> 00:13:11,700
He was there as a common
criminal, that's what he was

79
00:13:11,700 --> 00:13:15,100
numbered with for.
He bore the sin, the sins of

80
00:13:15,100 --> 00:13:18,900
many and made intercession for
the transgressors and who the

81
00:13:18,900 --> 00:13:21,700
transgressors are.
We'd like to put our fingers at

82
00:13:21,700 --> 00:13:23,100
everybody else has done
something wrong.

83
00:13:23,100 --> 00:13:27,400
But really the transgressors.
Are you and me each one of us

84
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,400
has our part of why Jesus had to
do what he did.

85
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:35,000
And again, he did it willingly.
So communion really is a time of

86
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,600
remembrance and Jesus
instituted.

87
00:13:36,700 --> 00:13:39,200
It isn't gave this to us.
It's an ordinance of the church.

88
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,400
It's not a Sacrament, it doesn't
save.

89
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:45,400
It doesn't give us extra Grace
but it's a symbol of what Jesus

90
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:49,200
did in his body giving up a
broken body and his blood.

91
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,800
So they're symbols.
And so would you guys stand with

92
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:53,700
me?
We're going to read a couple

93
00:13:53,700 --> 00:13:55,600
more scriptures in a minute and
I'm going to invite the

94
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,700
community to come forward, but
close your eyes for a minute.

95
00:13:57,700 --> 00:14:01,800
And this is a moment between you
and God settle your hearts.

96
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,800
Know that this is something that
was done for you.

97
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,700
He's God cares about you, God
loves you.

98
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,200
You guys continue reading with
me Paul in Corinthians, chapter

99
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:22,600
11, 23 24.
This is in the, this is the

100
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,700
night before Jesus, crucifixion.
It's his last moments, he's in

101
00:14:25,700 --> 00:14:27,600
the upper room.
It's the last supper is with his

102
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,400
disciples.
It says this that the Lord Jesus

103
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,500
on the night.
He was betrayed took bread.

104
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,600
And when he had given thanks, he
broke it.

105
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,400
And said, this is my body, which
is for you.

106
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:43,000
Do this in remembrance of me.
Me in this mist of the Last

107
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,500
Supper, the last time that he
was going to spend time together

108
00:14:45,500 --> 00:14:49,000
with the people that the guys
that had followed him and been

109
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,300
with him for the last three
years.

110
00:14:50,300 --> 00:14:52,000
This is the last thing that he's
telling them.

111
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,700
And a few short hours, Jesus
would ultimately go through

112
00:14:56,700 --> 00:14:59,600
something that none of us can
even imagine his body was

113
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,400
broken.
His beard was ripped out.

114
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,400
A crown of thorns was shoved
onto his head.

115
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,400
He was beaten with a whip, That
wasn't just a whip.

116
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,100
It was a whipped filled with
glass with rock.

117
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,700
Ultimately he was nailed a stew
that cross he was tortured in

118
00:15:15,700 --> 00:15:19,000
that week.
All because of our

119
00:15:19,008 --> 00:15:22,700
transgressions but more
importantly, because he loved us

120
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:28,300
and it continues in verse 25.
It says this in the same way.

121
00:15:28,300 --> 00:15:31,700
After supper, he took the cup
saying this cup is the New

122
00:15:31,700 --> 00:15:35,600
Covenant in my blood.
Do this whenever you drink it in

123
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:40,200
remembrance of me.
This is the, this is the last

124
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,200
part of it.
Jesus shed blood was the final

125
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,300
payment.
It was the final sacrifice.

126
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,500
It was the culmination of the
whole sacrificial system.

127
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:50,800
The Jews had in the Old
Testament because they would

128
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,700
come to Jerusalem to sacrifice
and their sins were covered

129
00:15:54,700 --> 00:15:58,600
temporarily by the sacrifice of
whatever animal they were

130
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,500
sacrificing, but Jesus shed
blood was the final, perfect

131
00:16:02,500 --> 00:16:05,600
sacrifice that took away the
Brokenness to hurt the

132
00:16:05,608 --> 00:16:07,400
iniquities.
The transgressions that we had

133
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:08,200
our lives.
Yes.

134
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,200
And now we become forgiven.
We're called redeemed were

135
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,100
called Sons and Daughters
because of Jesus blood.

136
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,200
One of the last things that
Jesus says in Matthew 26:28.

137
00:16:20,500 --> 00:16:23,500
So this is the blood of my
Covenant, which is poured out

138
00:16:23,500 --> 00:16:25,400
for the many for the Forgiveness
of sins.

139
00:16:26,300 --> 00:16:28,200
This is where our for
forgiveness, comes from the New

140
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,500
Covenant.
We're no longer those

141
00:16:30,500 --> 00:16:32,800
transgressors.
We are no those longer.

142
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,800
The lost sheep, we can be called
the family of God, because of

143
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,700
what he did for us.
So this moment is time of

144
00:16:40,708 --> 00:16:46,200
communion are for those of us
that have follow Jesus have put

145
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,900
him first called him Lord.
And so, this time of

146
00:16:49,900 --> 00:16:52,900
remembrance, it's time of
humility at the time of

147
00:16:52,900 --> 00:16:55,400
thankfulness.
So in a short moment, I'm going

148
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,900
to pray and we're gonna have you
guys.

149
00:16:57,900 --> 00:17:00,100
After I pray come down your
Center aisles.

150
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,600
What you'll do is, you'll take a
bread, you'll dip it either in

151
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:06,200
the wine or the grape juice and
you'll eat this in remembrance

152
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,900
of what Jesus did for you.
You so, would you guys take this

153
00:17:09,900 --> 00:17:16,000
moment and pray with me, Father,
we come before you and got, we

154
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,099
read the words that we read your
scriptures and we understand

155
00:17:19,099 --> 00:17:23,599
what Jesus went through, but
it's still hard for our hearts

156
00:17:23,599 --> 00:17:27,000
and our minds to comprehend.
Just the love that put him

157
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,400
there.
The perfect sinless, Lamb of

158
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,900
God, who did no wrong.
The creator of the universe, the

159
00:17:32,900 --> 00:17:35,800
one that has set.
The foundations of the universe

160
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:40,400
came to the slowly place and
Born and lived a perfect life

161
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,300
just to redeem us.
Make us whole.

162
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:48,800
He came to fix the things that
were lost when Adam said and now

163

reminder communion is on this

00:24:59,500 --> 00:25:03,600
Palm Sunday because that wine or
that grape juice that we just

192
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,600
have with the bread that blood
that was spilt on the cross.

193
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:11,200
It happened on Friday, right,
but we know the story, we know

194
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,600
what happened three days later.
Resurrection.

195
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,700
Sunday morning, Jesus rose.
As from the grave and conquered

196
00:25:16,700 --> 00:25:20,200
death.
And that's what it's all about.

197
00:25:20,300 --> 00:25:23,000
That's what we're celebrating
next week on Easter Sunday and

198
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,700

far from God, discover their

236
00:27:22,900 --> 00:27:27,200
real life and purpose in Jesus,
and that is the truth.

237
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,000
We all have a purpose.
Our souls were created for a

238
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,700
reason but it is often times
that we don't really know what

239
00:27:32,700 --> 00:27:35,800
that purpose might be.
And so we hope that through, you

started this year.

241
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,300
Whether it's the the breakout

just trying to find people and

243
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,200

00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:58,200
to really, you know, especially
as we look towards Easter Sunday

248
00:27:58,500 --> 00:28:01,000
thinking about those people in
our circles in our communities,

249
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,500
that need Jesus.
Because the truth is the easiest

250
00:28:04,500 --> 00:28:07,200
thing that we can do is just get
them in the room.

251
00:28:07,300 --> 00:28:09,900
God will do the work it.
We plant the seeds, God will do

252
00:28:09,900 --> 00:28:12,700
the watering and he's going to
do that next Sunday for so many

253
00:28:12,700 --> 00:28:14,700

give it up for him.

256
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:26,000
Guys have a good day and how so
far is celebrating Jesus.

257
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,500
And man, I hope you got a great
week just pointing people to

258
00:28:28,500 --> 00:28:31,500

the Baptist just going out and

259
00:28:31,500 --> 00:28:34,400
just to sharing the gospel this
week had a fun opportunity.

260
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:39,300
My neighbors, don't know Jesus
and God put me there on purpose

261
00:28:39,500 --> 00:28:42,400
and so I get to go out and hang
out the neighbors and he was

262
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,600
didn't have time to do it but it
worked out and I'm on the

263
00:28:45,700 --> 00:28:48,200
driveway and do were talking
about Jesus for like an hour and

264
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:49,700
a half.
We went from every religion, the

265
00:28:49,700 --> 00:28:52,000
world and just kept playing the
seeds of the gospel.

266
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,400
And It's fun being this
conversation.

267
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:58,000
It has been this conversation
this week, a little bit, it's

268
00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,600
just fun.
You just to see what God's going

269
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:00,700
to do.
And we've been praying for a

270
00:29:00,700 --> 00:29:02,900
neighbor's for a long time and
just guys is given to open doors

271
00:29:02,900 --> 00:29:06,100
so just be praying for them but
I'm just asking a simple

272
00:29:06,100 --> 00:29:07,500
question a day.
It's gonna sound like chill

273
00:29:07,500 --> 00:29:09,400
Pursuit, but it's going to get
there soon to come all the way

274
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:13,600
around, but is it may know the
first words ever spoken recorded

275
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,500
on a feature film.
The first words record on the

276
00:29:16,500 --> 00:29:19,800
feature film, anybody this is
before our day.

277
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,200
This before, everybody's day,
this is about 100 years.

278
00:29:22,300 --> 00:29:25,900
As ago, that was pulling a film
and the sentence is so important

279
00:29:25,900 --> 00:29:29,200
because it changed everything in
the entertainment industry.

280
00:29:29,900 --> 00:29:32,200
And you know, it babe.
I know do believe, I know who

281
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:36,200
I'm talking about today, but 100
years ago, it was 1927, little

282
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:40,100
man named Al Jolson and a movie
called The Jazz Singer and he

283
00:29:40,100 --> 00:29:44,000
made this.
See some of the the the fine

284
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:45,900
wine people in the house.
Come on somebody.

285
00:29:46,100 --> 00:29:50,300
Recognizing we're talking about
today and he's looking around of

286
00:29:50,300 --> 00:29:53,500
me but throughout he said this
It's so pertinent for today.

287
00:29:53,500 --> 00:29:57,100
So relevant, he said wait a
minute, wait a minute, you ain't

288
00:29:57,100 --> 00:30:00,800
heard nothing yet.
Just heard that line, right?

289
00:30:01,100 --> 00:30:03,000
And he repeats this and he says,
wait a minute.

290
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,200
You haven't heard nothing yet.
And the reality is 100 years

291
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,800
later, it could be more true as
you go to AMC, theater with a

292
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,400
Dolby Surround Sound the seat
and vibrates, you know, the

293
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,200
sound of people getting killed
the dinosaurs, you know, I'm

294
00:30:12,208 --> 00:30:14,300
talking about.
I mean, just like yes we have

295
00:30:14,300 --> 00:30:17,200
anything and everything changed
that that would that was the end

296
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,100
of an era of silent movies.
People, you still a little bit

297
00:30:20,100 --> 00:30:22,100
and to thank him on the screen
with the words and you read it.

298
00:30:22,500 --> 00:30:24,400
Wow, exciting.
And they go back and act, you

299
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,900
know, whatever?
Right, her Lloyd Buster Keaton.

300
00:30:27,900 --> 00:30:31,200
All the classics before your
day, who even knows I'm talking

301
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,500
about right now.
One person?

302
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:39,300
Yes, you saved yourself all of
you right now but thank God that

303
00:30:39,300 --> 00:30:42,100
you actually record on feature
film everything changed and

304
00:30:42,100 --> 00:30:43,600
really one sentence, everything
changed.

305
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,100
That was the end of that
complete era.

306
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,700
The reality is this, when you
follow Jesus, just one sins from

307
00:30:48,700 --> 00:30:51,700
Jesus will change everything for
someone's life.

308
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,000
I don't remember what Jesus
spoke to you, and you found

309
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,400
Jesus that you're forgiven.
Your shame is rolled away that

310
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,700
your made Anew.
We bring somebody to Jesus.

311
00:30:59,700 --> 00:31:01,700
Everything is eternally
different forever.

312
00:31:01,700 --> 00:31:04,800
Different, Maybe we have the
honor and privilege as

313
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,400
ambassadors for Christ that we
get to carry a message that were

314
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,500
Fishers of Men, it would to
bring people into the presence

315
00:31:11,700 --> 00:31:14,000
of Jesus.
And so today is really all about

316
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,800
stopping and nothing.
As we talk about the passion we

317
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,500
should have to bring people.
To Christ has an amazing story

318
00:31:19,500 --> 00:31:22,300
of walking, the Bible, but to
introduce today we have a video.

319
00:31:22,900 --> 00:31:25,600
This is a man that's really been
hurt by Church.

320
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,600
Like so many of us have walked
away from God, walked away from

321
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,600
the things of Christ in the
church and God used a little

322
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:35,100
miracle.
If through his family for him to

323
00:31:35,100 --> 00:31:38,700
forgot to give attention and he
came back to God and the same

324
00:31:38,700 --> 00:31:41,300
voice was used to bring this man
back to church.

325
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:45,000
And so, once you check this
video out, Hi.

326
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,500
I'm Dennis Reimer.
And this is my story and I'm

327
00:31:47,500 --> 00:31:54,800
sticking to it.
I'm grew up.

328
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,400
I would sprinkle it as a child
as far as my baptism and I was

329
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:02,300
confirmed of Faith at the time.
I was only 14 years old and I

330
00:32:02,300 --> 00:32:04,000
really didn't know what I was
doing.

331
00:32:04,700 --> 00:32:09,600
And as I got older, I turned 18
and my church.

332
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,800
That I was confirmed in wanted
to know how much money I wanted

333
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,700
to do.
And I told him, you know, I

334
00:32:14,708 --> 00:32:19,100
didn't know, I just got out of
high school so came down to

335
00:32:19,900 --> 00:32:23,000
where I'm kind of embarrassed my
parents, by saying, well, I

336
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,600
didn't want to.
Part of the country club and

337
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,200
needless to say, they didn't no
longer want to be in their

338
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,900
church because they wanted to be
to pay to pray.

339
00:32:31,500 --> 00:32:34,700
So I kind of gave up on that one
and then I fell in love for the

340
00:32:34,700 --> 00:32:38,400
first time and that was kind of
cool because I asked God to give

341
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:42,400
me someone is I wasn't having
much luck in my whole life.

342
00:32:42,500 --> 00:32:45,200
He gave me a girl.
I broke up with her or she broke

343
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:50,100
up with me actually and I kind
of went berserk and cast out of

344
00:32:50,100 --> 00:32:54,200
God and everybody else.
And I just went Haywire till I

345
00:32:54,208 --> 00:32:59,200
met my wife, she kind of calm me
down when she finally started,

346
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,400
going back to her church.
I kind of fell in with that for

347
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,800
a while and I thought I had
found God and I was doing real

348
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:09,300
well, got baptized and
everything and then things

349
00:33:09,300 --> 00:33:11,900
changed.
It became another situation

350
00:33:11,900 --> 00:33:14,500
where there's another church
that wanted.

351
00:33:14,500 --> 00:33:17,700
All they wanted, was my money.
And I said something to the

352
00:33:17,700 --> 00:33:20,200
effect that it was like another
church that was doing it,

353
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:24,000
something on television and the
pastor came over and Basically

354
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,000
said if I didn't sit in his
church, I wasn't gonna go to

355
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:30,300
God's kingdom and well I didn't
think that was right either.

356
00:33:30,300 --> 00:33:36,100
So estimate father Flanagan and
Mother Teresa we're going to be

357
00:33:36,100 --> 00:33:38,400
in God's kingdom after all the
good they did and they're

358
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,900
Catholics they weren't sitting
in his church which irritated

359
00:33:41,900 --> 00:33:46,500
him so he ended up giving me a
two-day notice afterwards saying

360
00:33:46,500 --> 00:33:48,700
he didn't want me no longer in
his church.

361
00:33:48,900 --> 00:33:52,000
Well I got to kind of set up
with churches about this time

362
00:33:52,300 --> 00:33:55,600
and I did just fell away from
God all together.

363
00:33:55,600 --> 00:34:00,400
I felt that a religion was just,
you know, a joke, my wife and I

364
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:04,100
didn't go to church for the
longest time and then a

365
00:34:04,100 --> 00:34:12,900
granddaughter came healing and
she had leukemia And she almost

366
00:34:12,900 --> 00:34:21,400
died twice and so I went into
the chapel at Children's Mercy

367
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:26,800
and I made a deal with God, I
said God you know I know I have

368
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,699
been away from you in a long
time and I'm sort of like the

369
00:34:29,699 --> 00:34:32,100
prodigal son but I'm asking you
to make me a deal.

370
00:34:32,100 --> 00:34:39,800
Take my life instead of hers and
For some reason, he answered my

371
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:44,600
prayer and she's now 20 years
old and she's doing real good.

372
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:48,500
I've never, I've never loved a
child so much.

373
00:34:48,500 --> 00:34:52,800
And you know, and she was
diagnose that took the wind out

374
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,199
of my sails.
And I've promised that I was

375
00:34:55,199 --> 00:34:58,900
going to taken try to be more
God's servant.

376
00:34:59,100 --> 00:35:01,900
I was doing real good for about
five years.

377
00:35:01,900 --> 00:35:05,300
And then I had my first heart
attack and I think God was

378
00:35:05,300 --> 00:35:08,800
trying to wake me up and say,
hey, You know, I have fulfilled

379
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,500
my deal now, it's your turn to
fulfill years.

380
00:35:12,100 --> 00:35:18,000
Well, after that I Braden, you
know he got me through that one,

381
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,000
about two more heart.
I'm a slow learner.

382
00:35:20,700 --> 00:35:22,800
I had two more heart attacks
than I had.

383
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:26,300
Heart failure.
I've had every time, I feel like

384
00:35:26,300 --> 00:35:29,800
I'm crossing the line and going
on the other side to her, Satan

385
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,500
knows just what buttons to push
something happens.

386
00:35:33,500 --> 00:35:36,800
I've had two detached retinas
where when I go to take it in,

387
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:41,000
Gone blind.
Had he not saved it for 13

388
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:42,700
hours.
I would have been blind.

389
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:47,200
I think, the last major thing
was about four years ago.

390
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:51,400
I broke my hip after that, and
the pain I had been in.

391
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,800
I said to myself, you know, I
it's time to start working and

392
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:59,900
living towards Godly light so
covid, hit.

393
00:35:59,900 --> 00:36:05,200
And then there was no church.
So I went to, they had the

394
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:08,000
church in my sons.
Yes, Raj.

395
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:12,600
So my granddaughter Haley.
She asked my wife to come and

396
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,300
naturally.
I was going to go to, I started

397
00:36:15,300 --> 00:36:19,200
listening and I'm starting to
relive all.

398
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:22,700
The things that what I had
learned before and I was really

399
00:36:22,700 --> 00:36:26,500
learning a lot of the things
real life and started to make

400
00:36:26,500 --> 00:36:29,100
sense to me.
I got to meet a few, people

401
00:36:29,500 --> 00:36:33,900
wasn't a big Gathering and once
Church started coming back, I

402
00:36:33,908 --> 00:36:37,000
decided to come over and go to
the Real Life Church.

403
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,200
Service was the best thing I've
ever done.

404
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:44,100
I've people greeted me and they
were real people.

405
00:36:44,100 --> 00:36:47,400
They didn't cast judgment on me
because I was poor or if I was

406
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:51,900
rich or whatever, they just
cared about what I did and it's

407
00:36:51,900 --> 00:36:56,400
not paid to pray.
Yes, you give freely but that's

408
00:36:56,400 --> 00:37:00,400
everything you do is up to you.
And now my doctors tell me, I

409
00:37:00,408 --> 00:37:03,800
should have been dead five years
ago, but because the grace of

410
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:07,000
God, I'm still here and I'm
going to do something about it.

411
00:37:07,100 --> 00:37:09,900
It.
So now what I'm trying to do is

412
00:37:09,900 --> 00:37:14,300
let other people know that God
is real and God, Kim performed

413
00:37:14,300 --> 00:37:18,700
Miracles and do things.
And I guess is my mission now is

414
00:37:18,700 --> 00:37:23,900
to help other people.
God used my son daughter-in-law

415
00:37:23,900 --> 00:37:26,800
and the grandkids get me back on
the right.

416
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:32,900
Track Haley was the main source
in actually Lexi because they

417
00:37:32,900 --> 00:37:35,200
did it.
Inadvertently brought me back

418
00:37:35,500 --> 00:37:39,100
because I looked at them, They
were they were hope for the

419
00:37:39,100 --> 00:37:43,000
future.
Our lives are so easily it can

420
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:47,800
snap at any time and we could be
gone just them helping me.

421
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:49,800
See?
That it's not too late.

422
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,500
And that's how, you know, I was
brought back in the church.

423
00:37:53,500 --> 00:37:59,200
So now I'm asking all of you to
step out on faith and step out

424
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:05,000
on your own power and you guys
bring some people in is it's

425
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,800
going to be a blessing to you as
well as the People, you bring

426
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:14,400
it.
Come on, give it up for Dennis.

427
00:38:17,900 --> 00:38:20,800
Dennis has a hard time watching
this video but man, it's good,

428
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:24,400
isn't it may just be in a real
and sharing what God has done is

429
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,300
life and it's amazing.
I love how you said.

430
00:38:26,300 --> 00:38:30,100
He's a, he's a slow learner.
He told me earlier he takes 90

431
00:38:30,100 --> 00:38:31,700
minutes to watch 60 Minutes, you
know?

432
00:38:32,900 --> 00:38:33,900
So I love you.
Dennis.

433
00:38:33,900 --> 00:38:38,900
And it's amazing that really,
that his story of Faith.

434
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:42,600
Most likely played a story and
his granddaughter being healed.

435
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,500
The story of going to God and
asking God to change her life.

436
00:38:46,900 --> 00:38:49,000
Probably played his part of the
story, but God did and

437
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,300
ultimately God didn't just
change her physically.

438
00:38:51,700 --> 00:38:54,300
God changed, Dennis's, heart
changed him on the inside.

439
00:38:54,300 --> 00:38:57,100
Amen, and that's the story.
What happens when we bring

440
00:38:57,100 --> 00:39:00,500
people to Jesus, but God does
things.

441
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:05,100
And so I want to say thank you
really to Ryan Michelle, Lexi

442
00:39:05,100 --> 00:39:08,100
Haley, the family and ultimate
in Jesus, for what he's done.

443
00:39:08,100 --> 00:39:09,600
So come on, let's give it up for
all them.

444
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:14,400
They probably story bringing
You're Ryan.

445
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,200
It opened up his garage, had a
TV that came down from the

446
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:20,900
ceiling looked like, had a
baptism in there with a earlier.

447
00:39:20,900 --> 00:39:22,500
I saw like a pool or something
like that.

448
00:39:22,500 --> 00:39:26,000
Some kind of Coca-Cola bin or
something, but man, it's cool

449
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,100
that was all play a little piece
of story and God continues to

450
00:39:28,100 --> 00:39:29,200
use it.
So I don't say, thank you.

451
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,600
Dennis for sharing your story,
and I think it's touching people

452
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,200
more than we even know.
And so they won't talk about

453
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,900
what it means to bring some be
in the presence of Jesus like

454
00:39:36,900 --> 00:39:40,000
what happens inside their life,
like when we get somebody into

455
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,100
his presence and really just
like we talked about here today

456
00:39:42,100 --> 00:39:46,100
Ministry everything can change.
Just one sentence for these

457
00:39:46,100 --> 00:39:47,700
people.
And so we're going to pick up

458
00:39:47,900 --> 00:39:50,900
really with left off last week
and the story last week, we're

459
00:39:50,900 --> 00:39:53,000
in John, but we're gonna jump
over the Book of Mark and be in

460
00:39:53,008 --> 00:39:56,900
chapter 1 and verse 14.
It says this it says after John

461
00:39:56,900 --> 00:39:59,100
was put in prison, this is still
talking about John.

462
00:39:59,100 --> 00:40:01,400
The Baptist is in John the
Beloved disciple but when John

463
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,600
the bastard put in prison he was
calling out rebuking one of the

464
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:09,200
leaders Herod Antipas and he was
having incest with his cousin

465
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,700
herodias and eventually led to
him being beheaded.

466
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,700
And so like I said earlier last
week, John John really was just

467
00:40:14,700 --> 00:40:17,800
a voice his point.
People to Jesus and then went

468
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,600
totally Into Obscurity.
But when John was put in the

469
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,200
prison, Jesus went to Galilee.
He went to this these

470
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,500
neighborhoods, you into this
northern part of Israel, that

471
00:40:25,500 --> 00:40:29,800
was populated full of people and
begin proclaim, the good news.

472
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:31,500
Now, this is how his ministry
started.

473
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:34,500
He said this, the time has come.
When we talk about the word

474
00:40:34,500 --> 00:40:38,200
time, there's not about the
exact like at 7:45, he sum of

475
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:40,700
the moments.
The word, therefore Greek is

476
00:40:40,700 --> 00:40:42,600
queiroz.
They say that this moment of

477
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,700
time has come We saying is God
is near.

478
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,400
There's any moments in your life
that God is immune to work.

479
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,600
In to move in says the kingdom
of God has come near repent and

480
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,500
believe the good news.
Now, this is kind of like,

481
00:40:55,100 --> 00:40:57,700
really what it is to follow.
Jesus on a day-to-day basis,

482
00:40:57,700 --> 00:41:00,200
isn't it?
You turn from yourself, repent.

483
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:03,100
And turn back to God.
And in the reality, is, this is

484
00:41:03,107 --> 00:41:06,600
we're all called to recognize
these moments day to day Moment,

485
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:09,500
by moment that God wants to
speak to us, that the gods going

486
00:41:09,500 --> 00:41:12,700
to use all these things to draw
us to him thing about Genesis

487
00:41:12,700 --> 00:41:16,100
story.
Sudden you have leukemia in his

488
00:41:16,100 --> 00:41:18,500
granddaughter.
The recognizes this this a

489
00:41:18,500 --> 00:41:20,400
moment.
Now, I got to give this to

490
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:23,300
goddamn a turn for myself.
He turned back to Jesus.

491
00:41:23,300 --> 00:41:25,800
Amen, every moment of your day
ever.

492
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:29,000
Even right now, as we speak, God
is speaking to you.

493
00:41:29,300 --> 00:41:31,200
And so the reality is this, we
are going to bring people to

494
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:32,900
Jesus.
The first thing I do is realize,

495
00:41:32,900 --> 00:41:36,800
the kingdom of God is near the
king, of God is closer than you

496
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,200
could imagine.
We got to get past the point of

497
00:41:39,207 --> 00:41:42,800
saying, man, when I passed away,
I go to Eternity, spent eternity

498
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:44,900
with Jesus.
Has no your life with Jesus

499
00:41:44,900 --> 00:41:46,000
started.
We met Jesus.

500
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,500
Amen.
An attorney is right now.

501
00:41:48,900 --> 00:41:51,700
Amen.
It's in this moment.

502
00:41:52,100 --> 00:41:53,700
Like you don't die and go to
turn to you.

503
00:41:53,700 --> 00:41:56,600
You're a Jesus right now on
mission for him.

504
00:41:57,300 --> 00:41:59,500
So, we got to get past this
whole like, well, wait till that

505
00:41:59,500 --> 00:42:01,700
happens with God.
Then we get right now, got his

506
00:42:01,700 --> 00:42:04,300
clothes, got his near ghosts of
work inside your heart.

507
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:07,400
And we're just constant cycle as
a follower of Jesus to turn from

508
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,500
our own ways and turn to God.
Amen.

509
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:13,100
That this called the cycle,
making this, what we do is walk

510
00:42:13,100 --> 00:42:16,000
away from Ourselves.
Jonna, the Baptist said in John

511
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,000
3:30.
He said he must increase.

512
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:22,400
And I must decrease, he must
become greater, and I must

513
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:25,700
become less.
It's kind of like Homer

514
00:42:25,700 --> 00:42:27,300
Simpson's kind of Fades out,
right?

515
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:29,400
Shut the bushes.
He's gone.

516
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:31,800
Right?
That's that's what is the follow

517
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:33,600
Jesus.
Let's not make him my name.

518
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,400
Great is making his name, great
and just getting out of the way,

519
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:37,600
and God is speaking through
this.

520
00:42:38,100 --> 00:42:44,200
And so, here he is.
Jesus says this Verse 16 says,

521
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:45,500
Jesus walked beside the Sea of
Galilee.

522
00:42:45,500 --> 00:42:49,200
He saw Simon, his brother,
Andrew casting net into the lake

523
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:51,700
for, they were fishermen.
Now this is Simon and Andrew

524
00:42:51,700 --> 00:42:54,800
talked about last week member a
major stock Jesus and then John

525
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,500
was there.
This is the same and room and so

526
00:42:57,500 --> 00:43:00,400
they had met Jesus already.
Peter had been Simon the given

527
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:01,800
the name.
He called Peter.

528
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:03,300
The Rock.
Never that new name.

529
00:43:03,300 --> 00:43:06,100
New purpose and then life got
hard.

530
00:43:06,300 --> 00:43:08,800
John, the Baptist got arrested
this is one of their their

531
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,700
mentors, the rabbi their
spiritual leader.

532
00:43:11,700 --> 00:43:12,900
He's been arrested put in
prison.

533
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,400
Susan, and all the sudden they
walk away from Jesus.

534
00:43:15,700 --> 00:43:19,200
These men are back to business
as normal, they're back with

535
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:22,500
their Nets, their back fishing.
They're going back to what they

536
00:43:22,500 --> 00:43:24,000
once had.
I know if you've been there

537
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,900
before the season your life, or
maybe you're in that season

538
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,200
where you're passionate about
God, you brought your Bible

539
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:31,200
everywhere.
You're praying all the time,

540
00:43:31,300 --> 00:43:33,900
your church every Sunday, your
leave for the cause of Christ

541
00:43:33,900 --> 00:43:36,100
wherever you're at, and then it
got hard.

542
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:37,400
You who knows?
Ministries?

543
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:39,700
Hard, who has fallen God is
hard.

544
00:43:40,300 --> 00:43:42,400
Who knows is why attacks that
happened?

545
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:44,400
When you're falling?
A lot of wounds that happened in

546
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,300
Ministry.
Your been stabbed in the back by

547
00:43:46,300 --> 00:43:48,400
a friend, your been given some
to somebody.

548
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:50,700
They didn't say.
Thanks maybe tread on the gift

549
00:43:50,700 --> 00:43:54,000
or abused, your grace and and as
a Christian, it's easy to get

550
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:57,100
offended, it's easy to wounded,
it's easy at her, it's easy to

551
00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:00,400
walk away from the things of
God, and this will refine the

552
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:01,900
disciples.
The ruler.

553
00:44:01,900 --> 00:44:04,900
First thing I did is I met Jesus
to change your life and got hard

554
00:44:05,100 --> 00:44:07,600
and they quit.
I think about John the Baptist

555
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,000
and he had such a good perfect.
Illustration of what this looks

556
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:11,500
like.
I mean, John, the Baptist

557
00:44:11,700 --> 00:44:14,700
honestly much about him but he
Ever performed a sign like it,

558
00:44:14,707 --> 00:44:17,500
never America will never heal
anybody he to do anything that

559
00:44:17,500 --> 00:44:20,800
made anything about himself and
ultimately John the Baptist ask

560
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:21,400
him.
Who are you?

561
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:22,500
Who are you?
Who are you?

562
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:26,200
He proclaimed.
Clearly, he said, I am not the

563
00:44:26,207 --> 00:44:28,100
Messiah.
You have been a seizure.

564
00:44:28,100 --> 00:44:29,400
Your life.
You're trying to fix yourself.

565
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:33,200
This is your life try to fix.
Everybody else just solve the

566
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:35,300
problem.
So I put all the pieces together

567
00:44:35,300 --> 00:44:38,200
so the fall apart like going to
be the hero may be the savior of

568
00:44:38,207 --> 00:44:40,800
the day, here's John.
The Baptist says, I am not the

569
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:42,900
Messiah.
First thing I realized this is

570
00:44:43,100 --> 00:44:44,600
We are not the Messiah.
Amen.

571
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:48,100
Amen.
We will have it all together.

572
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:51,100
We can't figure it out.
We can't do it on our own, the

573
00:44:51,100 --> 00:44:54,000
kid doing power and own
strength, and our own way.

574
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:56,400
And so he stepped back and just
give it to God.

575
00:44:56,700 --> 00:45:01,300
Verse 17 says this, Jesus sees
Andrew and Simon, they're out

576
00:45:01,300 --> 00:45:05,500
there fishing and he says, come
follow me, Jesus said, and I

577
00:45:05,500 --> 00:45:11,700
will send you out to fish for
fish for the Fisher people, but

578
00:45:11,700 --> 00:45:14,200
Jesus gives them immediate Edit
call.

579
00:45:14,300 --> 00:45:17,200
He sees them kind of doing their
own work doing their thing.

580
00:45:17,300 --> 00:45:20,300
Now using a permanent called,
This is a danger, in Simon of

581
00:45:20,308 --> 00:45:23,600
the first two disciples ever
call to follow Jesus.

582
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:26,600
Jesus, recognized the potential,
you recognize your own way and

583
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:27,900
he says, I want you to follow
me.

584
00:45:28,100 --> 00:45:29,700
They use them as such a clear
call.

585
00:45:29,700 --> 00:45:32,900
He says I will make you Fishers
of people.

586
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:34,900
It is amazing.
The first thing that Jesus

587
00:45:34,900 --> 00:45:37,200
called them to do.
Will ultimately the overarching

588
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:40,000
thing of their they will do
their entire lives was to fish

589
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:42,800
for people.
There wasn't any other calling?

590
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:44,700
Not a factor.
I think about this.

591
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:47,300
I don't think it's anything
greater in your life that you

592
00:45:47,308 --> 00:45:52,400
can live for or you can die for
there to be a Fisher for people.

593
00:45:53,100 --> 00:45:56,500
This is exactly what Jesus has
called us to do.

594
00:45:56,700 --> 00:45:59,400
In fact, the only reason we're
left here on this side of

595
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:04,400
Eternity, is that we can bring
people to Jesus and says, says

596
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:07,400
this and 18 says that once
Andrew and Simon, they left

597
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:10,800
their Nets left their livelihood
unless it was comfortable, but

598
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:14,300
was easy, was predictable.
What they were good at what they

599
00:46:14,300 --> 00:46:16,600
can make money at, and they
followed.

600
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:20,000
Jesus verse 19 says this and
when they go a little farther,

601
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:23,600
Jesus, he saw Janet, James, the
son of Zebedee, and his brother,

602
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:27,300
John, and a boat preparing their
nests.

603
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:30,500
Now, this is the same John that
met Jesus for the first time.

604
00:46:30,500 --> 00:46:32,900
It's my last week, right?
And six years later, he

605
00:46:32,900 --> 00:46:35,700
remembers 4 p.m. in the
afternoon when he first met

606
00:46:35,700 --> 00:46:38,400
Jesus.
Now, here's here they are

607
00:46:39,700 --> 00:46:42,300
worried and Afraid and
discourage and they're back to

608
00:46:42,300 --> 00:46:46,700
business as As normal preparing
their nets for another night of

609
00:46:46,700 --> 00:46:50,500
fishing verse 20 says, without
delay, Jesus called them and

610
00:46:50,500 --> 00:46:52,900
they left their father Zebedee
in the boat that poor guy came.

611
00:46:52,900 --> 00:46:54,700
All somebody, right?
See you later.

612
00:46:55,500 --> 00:46:58,200
And they and and the hired men
and they follow them.

613
00:46:58,300 --> 00:47:00,300
So no James.
And John had some business was a

614
00:47:00,308 --> 00:47:02,800
family business, they probably
own the boats, they had some

615
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:05,200
amount of wealth The Prestige or
probably known the city.

616
00:47:05,300 --> 00:47:07,100
There's a lot riding on the
shoulders or take over the

617
00:47:07,100 --> 00:47:09,900
business and they left
everything including their

618
00:47:09,900 --> 00:47:13,800
father and they followed Jesus.
So, sad thing is this we're

619
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:16,700
going to bring people to Jesus,
you have to recognize your call.

620
00:47:16,900 --> 00:47:20,600
We have to be willing to let
some things go to leave, some

621
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:24,100
things behind and even some
people behind for your call.

622
00:47:25,300 --> 00:47:29,100
Amen, preacher.
Somebody like that sounds good.

623
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:32,200
That sounds real good.
But God is calling you to go.

624
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:35,000
Find a fishing hole for people
that's calling leave.

625
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:36,500
What's comfortable and what's
normal?

626
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:39,200
They had gotten out Kali to
business, as normal.

627
00:47:39,300 --> 00:47:40,800
You had.
Look at your day, look your

628
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:42,700
time.
Look, you're doing in your life.

629
00:47:42,700 --> 00:47:45,200
Ask yourself one of the world.
Do I need to stop doing for the

630
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,200
cause of Christ?
Because he's calling you away

631
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:51,000
from some things as a follow.
Jesus to go Reach people to be

632
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:54,400
on Mission and the reality is
this, that so many of us are so

633
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:57,200
scared of Letting Go that we
hold onto the world.

634
00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:00,500
So, There's no room for Jesus.
I would encourage you to do

635
00:48:00,500 --> 00:48:02,900
something very full of faith and
just open your hands and say

636
00:48:02,900 --> 00:48:07,000
yes, Jesus, wherever you call
me, I'm willing to go, I'm not

637
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,300
saying you're going to be a
missionary in Africa but maybe

638
00:48:09,300 --> 00:48:12,400
you will be amen.
Some of y'all done that, and

639
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:14,900
that's what God's calling you.
We have to be more of a sending

640
00:48:14,900 --> 00:48:18,300
agency than a seating agency,
like we can just come here and

641
00:48:18,300 --> 00:48:20,200
fill chairs.
Some of you are going to get out

642
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:21,900
of the premortal sludge of
sitting and be like, dude, I'm

643
00:48:21,900 --> 00:48:23,100
gonna go do some for Christ.
Amen.

644
00:48:23,500 --> 00:48:25,100
The gods call me across the
street.

645
00:48:25,300 --> 00:48:26,800
He's calling me to bring that
person.

646
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:29,100
That looks nothing like In
Munich on my house and hang out

647
00:48:29,100 --> 00:48:31,700
and eat at my table and I get to
Point them to Jesus.

648
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:34,100
God, just going to use my life.
How you want to be saying this

649
00:48:34,100 --> 00:48:37,100
song I'm a vessel make me vessel
use may want to mate with it,

650
00:48:37,100 --> 00:48:39,400
call of surrender.
Thank God is going to use that

651
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:43,200
today, so these men are called
to be Fishers for men, I believe

652
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:45,700
that's still a call we have
today. 2,000 years later says,

653
00:48:45,700 --> 00:48:48,600
in mark 19. 119 says they came
to Capernaum.

654
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:51,000
Now, Capernaum is a city in the
north side of the Sea of

655
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,000
Galilee.
It's a populated city, saw

656
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:54,700
thoroughfare.
And major highway runs through

657
00:48:54,700 --> 00:48:56,900
it.
This is a fishing town.

658
00:48:56,900 --> 00:48:58,900
This is all.
R Commerce around fishing.

659
00:48:59,100 --> 00:49:02,200
It says, when the Sabbath came,
now, this is a, this would been

660
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:03,700
Saturday, and there's a bunch of
rules.

661
00:49:03,700 --> 00:49:07,300
They couldn't follow, but Jesus,
he went into the synagogue or at

662
00:49:07,300 --> 00:49:09,800
that time, he called the church,
but the synagogue and began to

663
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:11,900
teach and the people were, what
held me out?

664
00:49:11,900 --> 00:49:15,400
They were, they were amazed at
his teaching, they were

665
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:17,800
dumbfounded.
There were all struck.

666
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:19,500
Just like some of you guys are
right now.

667
00:49:19,500 --> 00:49:23,000
Come on, somebody.
I'm just kidding.

668
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:28,700
And tell the people were amazed
at his teaching because he

669
00:49:28,700 --> 00:49:31,700
taught them as one who had
Authority.

670
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:34,800
He taught them.
Is if he wrote the book, he

671
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:37,800
taught them as, if he hung the
Stars, he laid the foundation.

672
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:39,300
He taught him as, if he was
there.

673
00:49:39,500 --> 00:49:42,600
When his all pinned, he taught
them to Authority because he was

674
00:49:42,700 --> 00:49:45,000
the authority.
He says now as a teacher of the

675
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,200
law, he didn't teach him as
somebody that else would tie the

676
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:50,400
synagogue that studied the Old
Testament, or Moses, or the

677
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:53,500
regulations, or the traditional.
Of Law and just then it says, in

678
00:49:53,508 --> 00:49:57,100
verse 23, just then there was a
man in synagogue who was

679
00:49:57,100 --> 00:50:00,100
possessed by an imp your spirit
and cried out.

680
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:02,900
What do you want with us?
Jesus of Nazareth.

681
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:05,700
Have you come to destroy us?
I know who you are.

682
00:50:05,700 --> 00:50:09,400
The Holy One Of God.
Now isn't it interesting?

683
00:50:09,500 --> 00:50:12,600
I found this complete.
Interesting uses first message.

684
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:14,500
He just said this is what it's
all about.

685
00:50:14,500 --> 00:50:16,900
The kingdom of God is near his
first Saturday.

686
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:19,800
He's teaching in the synagogue
and the very first thing that

687
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:23,000
happens use preaches a
Interrupts them.

688
00:50:23,300 --> 00:50:26,300
Come on somebody.
I mean this this is impressive.

689
00:50:26,500 --> 00:50:31,100
I mean, why now of all the times
y now this demon interrupt Jesus

690
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:32,800
when he could have talked to
Jesus.

691
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:35,600
Any other moment, all of a
sudden the kingdom of God has

692
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:38,600
got to Unleashed into Humanity.
The demons know it.

693
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:42,000
He was a demon said he said, are
you going to destroy us?

694
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:45,600
He said some the Jesus because
he knew the power of God.

695
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:49,800
Amen he knew that this is a
Jesus that fact frame the Earth

696
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:51,700
who's a Jesus that holds all
things.

697
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:53,700
Troll things and he had to ask
the question.

698
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:57,500
Have you come to kill us all?
Because I know you can you also

699
00:50:57,500 --> 00:50:59,400
knew who Jesus was?
He says you're the Holy One Of

700
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:01,700
God.
It's interesting to me as Jesus

701
00:51:01,700 --> 00:51:06,000
preached his first message that
the first entity to recognize

702
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:10,700
who Jesus was his power, his
strength in his nature of being

703
00:51:10,700 --> 00:51:14,000
God wasn't his disciples.
It was a demon.

704
00:51:15,300 --> 00:51:18,700
Think about that as you step out
in your call, you start to

705
00:51:18,700 --> 00:51:22,300
follow Christ, third thing going
to bring people to God.

706
00:51:22,300 --> 00:51:26,000
You could recognize the first
person or entity to recognize

707
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:28,500
that you're on Mission as a
fisherman.

708
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:31,500
Is it going to be somebody else?
It's going to be a demon.

709
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:36,000
There's about that year.
Without any of follow Christ is

710
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,600
going to be easier and better
thought about that.

711
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:41,600
A lot of people do they like not
following Christ assumed you

712
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:44,200
hard, bro, if it gets hard,
that's means you're doing

713
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:46,900
something, because you are
taking some spiritual ground

714
00:51:46,900 --> 00:51:48,700
from the enemy.
Amen.

715
00:51:49,300 --> 00:51:51,100
In his truck broke down this
week, right?

716
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:54,800
It means Bill stacking up.
He's getting kind of hard and

717
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:56,900
demons want to scream out right
now in the middle message,

718
00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:00,400
right?
This is Jesus opening day.

719
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:03,600
This is launch day for Jesus.
There's a A demon that wants to

720
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:05,300
shut it down.
I'm just telling you you start

721
00:52:05,300 --> 00:52:07,900
following Christ.
Expect interruptions, amen.

722
00:52:08,500 --> 00:52:11,700
Expect some obstacles, expected,
not to look anything like you

723
00:52:11,700 --> 00:52:14,500
look like they're guess what God
is about to do his best work?

724
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:17,200
Amen.
Isn't work through you because

725
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:20,100
he the say knows the power you
had within you.

726
00:52:20,100 --> 00:52:23,200
When you bring somebody to Jesus
say knows that you're pushing

727
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:26,400
back the kingdom of hell, he
knows that you have something

728
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:29,000
more in you than he can stop.
You of the power and the

729
00:52:29,008 --> 00:52:32,500
presence of God, this is what
Jesus said to him verse 25.

730
00:52:32,700 --> 00:52:34,900
He Be quiet.
In other words.

731
00:52:34,900 --> 00:52:38,400
Shut up, amen.
Some is gonna memorize this

732
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:40,700
verse don't use on your parents,
right.

733
00:52:41,500 --> 00:52:45,000
Be quiet said, Jesus sternly.
He said, I wanna hear your

734
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:46,700
self-defense.
I don't hear any other words.

735
00:52:46,700 --> 00:52:48,100
This is not the right time to
talk.

736
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:49,700
This is my kingdom cells going
to go.

737
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:53,400
He says come out of him and the
a spirit shook, the man violate

738
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:57,700
and came out with a shriek and
the people were also amazed that

739
00:52:57,700 --> 00:53:00,100
they ask each other.
What is this?

740
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:02,000
It's a new teaching with
authority.

741
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:05,700
He is He has given orders to in
pure spirits and they obey him

742
00:53:05,700 --> 00:53:08,900
and the news about or the news
of him spread quickly over the

743
00:53:08,900 --> 00:53:13,800
whole region of Galilee, just
one sentence from Jesus, cast

744
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:18,300
out a demon, just one sentence
from Jesus set free, a man that

745
00:53:18,300 --> 00:53:22,500
was demon-possessed this the
beginning of Jesus reputation

746
00:53:22,500 --> 00:53:25,200
and Renown and fame being spread
across the area.

747
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:27,100
Verse 25 says this.
As soon as it left the

748
00:53:27,100 --> 00:53:31,400
synagogue, they went with James
and John, to the home of Simon

749
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:34,300
and Andrew now.
About this this incredible.

750
00:53:34,300 --> 00:53:37,600
Remember, just last week, we
talked about how Andrew and John

751
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:40,400
were stocking Jesus, and he went
to his home where he was

752
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:41,800
staying.
It's amazing.

753
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:45,300
It didn't take very long for
Jesus to end up at their house.

754
00:53:45,300 --> 00:53:49,400
Did it your think about that you
started following Jesus in the

755
00:53:49,408 --> 00:53:50,600
dark?
You don't know, be able to know

756
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:53,000
that you're following Jesus and
then take long before, he

757
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:55,300
started telling everyone, your
fam bout, Jesus and do the Bible

758
00:53:55,300 --> 00:53:58,100
says that home and started
praying at home and sort of

759
00:53:58,100 --> 00:54:00,700
bringing people to God because
all of a sudden, God is just

760
00:54:00,700 --> 00:54:02,800
moving in your life.
Don't take for it.

761
00:54:02,900 --> 00:54:05,600
Long.
Does it verse 3 says, this Simon

762
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:09,300
Simon's mother-in-law to say,
know that Peter was married was

763
00:54:09,300 --> 00:54:11,300
in bed with a fever, and they
immediately told Jesus about

764
00:54:11,300 --> 00:54:13,100
her.
And so he went to her took her

765
00:54:13,100 --> 00:54:16,300
hand and helped her and the
fever left her and she began to

766
00:54:16,300 --> 00:54:19,000
wait on them.
She began to serve them just the

767
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:22,600
presence of Jesus.
She was healed and changed that

768
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:25,000
evening after Sunset.
Remember this was a Sabbath day.

769
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,400
There's a lot of rules and
regulation made by man and they

770
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:30,000
couldn't work, it couldn't do
things, but that night when the

771
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,800
sun went down, the side was over
the people.

772
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:40,900
They brought to Jesus all the
sick and the demon possessed,

773
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:44,300
that's impressive.
This city is around 15,000

774
00:54:44,300 --> 00:54:49,300
people and they're all going to
Andrew in Simon's house.

775
00:54:49,500 --> 00:54:52,700
All these people like me just
get my sick neighbor, but I get

776
00:54:52,700 --> 00:54:55,900
my six son, but yet my sick
mother in law of and get my

777
00:54:55,900 --> 00:54:58,500
friend down the street at this
demon-possessed person, at least

778
00:54:58,500 --> 00:55:00,400
get them to the presence of
Jesus.

779
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:06,000
Jesus can change him since Verse
33, the whole town gathered at

780
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:08,300
the door.
Could you amazed at that?

781
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:10,500
And that's the way church should
become all somebody, right?

782
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:14,100
I'm the whole town came to be in
the presence of Jesus and be

783
00:55:14,100 --> 00:55:15,300
healed.
It's amazing.

784
00:55:15,300 --> 00:55:17,500
This fishing Town.
Those fishing for fish.

785
00:55:17,500 --> 00:55:21,500
Is now a fishing Town fishing
for people that saw Jesus

786
00:55:21,500 --> 00:55:24,100
changed the city and Jesus
healed, many, that were at

787
00:55:24,100 --> 00:55:26,200
various diseases.
And he drove out many demons.

788
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:29,500
And he would not let the demons
speak, because they knew who he

789
00:55:29,500 --> 00:55:32,000
was.
I love that demon muzzled or

790
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:33,600
Jesus.
The demons.

791
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:35,600
Come on somebody.
I'm he put them on their stuff.

792
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:38,000
He bound them tight.
He knew they're going to talk

793
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:39,900
smack.
He knew they're going to reveal

794
00:55:39,900 --> 00:55:42,300
things that shouldn't reveal the
mystery of God quite yet.

795
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:45,400
And so, he just shut him up.
Who knows God's in control a men

796
00:55:45,900 --> 00:55:48,300
that God has a path in the plan
that purpose and nobody is going

797
00:55:48,300 --> 00:55:49,900
to stop that the Demons of self
obey.

798
00:55:49,900 --> 00:55:54,000
Jesus verse 35, says this very
early in the morning while still

799
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:57,000
dark Jesus.
Got up left the house went off

800
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:05,600
to a solitary place and he This
is foundational as a follower of

801
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:07,200
Christ.
Here's, here's Jesus.

802
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:09,800
He has this amazing night
members after dark.

803
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:13,000
They all went to his house and
he probably spent all night.

804
00:56:13,100 --> 00:56:16,200
Healing people just kept coming
and coming, and coming and cast

805
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:18,100
out demons and that is
disciples.

806
00:56:18,100 --> 00:56:20,500
Fell asleep, with seems to be a
tradition of Christians in

807
00:56:20,500 --> 00:56:22,200
general.
Come on somebody, right?

808
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:23,700
You see that with all the cycles
of the garden?

809
00:56:23,700 --> 00:56:27,400
They didn't change at all.
Jesus would just disappear out

810
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:30,600
into the Wilderness and the
solitary place he would pray.

811
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:34,000
You get connected to God, if
we're going to make it past the

812
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:37,200
40, second Sprint, for the
things of Christ, we have to do

813
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:39,000
through God's power.
Amen.

814
00:56:39,700 --> 00:56:41,600
I mean if you want to burn out,
don't pray.

815
00:56:42,100 --> 00:56:45,000
If you want to do in your
Manpower, I won't see here in a

816
00:56:45,008 --> 00:56:47,000
month.
We'll see you in things of

817
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:49,800
Christ because you're doing all
on your own strength.

818
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:53,500
And so Jesus models himself just
as a Son of God, this

819
00:56:53,500 --> 00:56:56,400
relationship with his father and
his get reduced strength.

820
00:56:56,600 --> 00:56:59,500
Think about when he prayed.
He didn't pray leading into the

821
00:56:59,500 --> 00:57:00,900
event.
He didn't pay me.

822
00:57:01,100 --> 00:57:05,200
Tori, healed, 15,000 people.
Jesus prayed after I tell you,

823
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:07,400
we probably more per after
Easter than into Easter.

824
00:57:07,500 --> 00:57:09,100
Amen.
Who knows?

825
00:57:09,100 --> 00:57:11,700
You get wounded when you're in
leadership, they were when you

826
00:57:11,700 --> 00:57:14,500
when you go for the cause of
Christ and you see things and

827
00:57:14,500 --> 00:57:16,800
who knows that the critics say a
little longer than the people

828
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:19,100
cheering you on, you've been
around the block or time with

829
00:57:19,100 --> 00:57:20,800
you right now.
I think you have to take some of

830
00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:23,300
those wounds and some of the
things happier life, he's got to

831
00:57:23,300 --> 00:57:26,600
get a loan to savior, is let him
say that you're a child of God,

832
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:29,500
your daughter, the king, your
son, the king that you're

833
00:57:29,500 --> 00:57:32,100
forgiven and chosen.
And you Our enough and I am

834
00:57:32,100 --> 00:57:34,900
enough for you and get healed up
amen.

835
00:57:35,500 --> 00:57:37,700
This what Jesus models for us
and we're going to bring people

836
00:57:37,700 --> 00:57:40,500
to Christ.
You better be man or woman of

837
00:57:40,500 --> 00:57:43,200
prayer.
First dinosaur, 36 says this

838
00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:46,900
Simon's companions went to look
for it and when they found him

839
00:57:46,900 --> 00:57:48,800
they exclaimed everybody's
looking for you.

840
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:51,100
Where did you go?
I've had this is sorry.

841
00:57:51,100 --> 00:57:53,700
This is Simon Peters.
First leadership exercise in the

842
00:57:53,700 --> 00:57:56,100
Bible First Time The Bible
seemed leading anything and the

843
00:57:56,107 --> 00:57:58,900
first thing you do is you woke
up late, you couldn't find Jesus

844
00:57:58,900 --> 00:58:00,900
and he's like oh no, I left
everything.

845
00:58:01,100 --> 00:58:04,300
And I also left Jesus like where
in the world is he and so he

846
00:58:04,300 --> 00:58:07,100
began to wake her up because his
sister Peter is a big loud mouth

847
00:58:07,100 --> 00:58:09,000
and shakes her butt out of bed
and he shows.

848
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:12,300
Let's go on a search party for
Jesus to find the presence of

849
00:58:12,300 --> 00:58:14,600
God.
Very first thing that Pierre

850
00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:17,700
doesn't seem very significant,
but it is because he's the one

851
00:58:17,700 --> 00:58:21,200
that's has his voice spoken up.
He wants to bring people back to

852
00:58:21,207 --> 00:58:24,000
Jesus.
Verse 38 says, Jesus replied to

853
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:25,200
Peter.
He said let us go somewhere

854
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:28,800
else, so nearby Village, so I
can preach there also, because

855
00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:30,900
this is why I've come here as
this city knows about.

856
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:31,800
Out.
Why I'm here.

857
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:34,700
So the time has come, you know,
repent believe.

858
00:58:34,700 --> 00:58:36,500
It came Guys, near, they know
all these things.

859
00:58:36,500 --> 00:58:40,000
It's time to go out.
It's time to go somewhere else

860
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:41,600
because I know exactly what I'm
doing.

861
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:44,000
And so we travel through
Galilee, this upper region of

862
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:47,200
Israel and being preaching, a
synagogues and driving out

863
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:48,200
demons.
They're probably in the

864
00:58:48,207 --> 00:58:50,300
synagogue's.
Let's be real right verse 40

865
00:58:50,300 --> 00:58:53,700
says, this, a man with Leprosy
came to him and begged him on

866
00:58:53,700 --> 00:58:56,200
his knees.
If you are willing, you can make

867
00:58:56,200 --> 00:59:00,200
me clean in Jesus.
Filled with compassion, he

868
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:02,000
reached out his hand He touched
them in.

869
00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:05,700
Is that I am willing be clean.
It's amazing.

870
00:59:05,700 --> 00:59:08,200
In just one sentence.
This man be cleansed from

871
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:10,200
leprosy.
Be cleansed from the skin

872
00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:12,300
disease.
He's battled his entire life.

873
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:16,400
He said, Jesus sent him away and
wants with a Stern warning,

874
00:59:16,500 --> 00:59:20,200
strong morning, he said, see you
don't tell anyone this but go

875
00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:22,900
show yourself to the priest and
offer the sacrifice that Moses

876
00:59:22,900 --> 00:59:26,000
commanded for your cleansing as
a testimony to them.

877
00:59:26,300 --> 00:59:28,500
What he didn't want to do is let
everybody know that he just

878
00:59:28,500 --> 00:59:30,800
cleans his leprosy.
He said go back fall the old

879
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:34,200
Testament way of getting
cleansed in Leviticus 14, and

880
00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:37,400
let it just fall the system, so
that everybody's a know that I

881
00:59:37,408 --> 00:59:40,600
just healed a leper.
But instead look at the man does

882
00:59:40,900 --> 00:59:44,100
instead, he went out and began
to talk freely to being sprayed

883
00:59:44,100 --> 00:59:47,400
lose, he couldn't contain the
joy that, that man over there.

884
00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:51,400
Just the next town over healed,
my leprosy, as a result, the

885
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:57,000
missis Jesus could no longer
enter a town openly because, but

886
00:59:57,000 --> 01:00:00,000
stayed outside in lonely places.
But check this out.

887
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:01,300
It says you have two people with
What?

888
01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:08,000
They still came, they still came
to him from everywhere.

889
01:00:08,700 --> 01:00:11,800
Get the picture.
Jesus, his reputation is

890
01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:13,500
growing.
He cast out demons.

891
01:00:13,500 --> 01:00:15,900
He heals lepers.
He just touches him in there.

892
01:00:15,900 --> 01:00:17,700
Fevers gone.
He cast out demons.

893
01:00:17,700 --> 01:00:20,200
He's preaching.
A synagogue has Authority and

894
01:00:20,200 --> 01:00:22,500
power and now he came and being
a city's.

895
01:00:22,500 --> 01:00:26,100
He hides on the outskirts in the
lonely places and still

896
01:00:26,100 --> 01:00:29,400
everybody from everywhere.
Still trying to get to the

897
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:32,700
presence of God.
Here's the real T.

898
01:00:32,700 --> 01:00:34,600
If we're going to bring people
to Christ, we have to recognize

899
01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:36,800
ourselves at the most attraction
or thing.

900
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:40,600
Tractive thing.
We have is the presence of Jesus

901
01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:45,500
in our life, that's the most.
So tractional thing if you think

902
01:00:45,500 --> 01:00:49,100
people are coming to this church
because I am an amazing speaker.

903
01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:52,800
Come on somebody, you are wrong.
You think people come to this

904
01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:56,800
church because of worship is on
fire, which it is, but this not

905
01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:59,100
just that it's the presence of
God.

906
01:00:59,300 --> 01:01:02,600
Amen.
It's a tractional and so As a

907
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:04,700
person for you to witness,
somebody might say well how the

908
01:01:04,707 --> 01:01:05,900
right words to say here all the
time.

909
01:01:05,900 --> 01:01:07,700
I don't know, I'd say I'm going
to mess it up.

910
01:01:07,700 --> 01:01:10,700
I don't know enough.
Well the reality is you have

911
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:14,200
Jesus you have the most
attraction 'l thing you could

912
01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:16,100
ever have the spirit of God
Lives in You.

913
01:01:16,300 --> 01:01:19,800
Jesus lives in you and all you
have to do is just get out of

914
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:22,000
the way.
Like literally I'm not even tell

915
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:23,500
you what you say.
It doesn't matter.

916
01:01:23,500 --> 01:01:25,200
The Holy Spirit.
She will give you the words if

917
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:28,600
you want to tell us about Jesus
just walk across the street and

918
01:01:28,607 --> 01:01:31,100
start talking and all of a
sudden Jesus in the country

919
01:01:31,100 --> 01:01:32,800
conversation, if that's on your
Heart.

920
01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:34,800
It's just going to happen.
That's what's going to happen,

921
01:01:34,900 --> 01:01:37,400
but it's not about you.
Like the neighbor might say,

922
01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:39,800
well, I've see you over there
that part of last week you're

923
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:41,600
laying the front lawn had too
much to drink.

924
01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:45,100
Don't act like it's not you.
Come on somebody.

925
01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:50,100
I stare at the Sheep long enough
to know, right?

926
01:01:50,500 --> 01:01:54,200
I know, I know but the reality
is this, you could just simply

927
01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:55,200
say to people hey, you know
what?

928
01:01:55,200 --> 01:01:57,700
I'm so glad that you recognize
that because you're just not

929
01:01:57,700 --> 01:01:59,500
about me.
I've messed up so much or some

930
01:01:59,500 --> 01:02:00,300
things.
My life look.

931
01:02:00,300 --> 01:02:02,700
Nothing, like, God and you get
pulling the Jesus.

932
01:02:02,700 --> 01:02:05,200
Amen.
I'm not giving you excuses, sin,

933
01:02:05,300 --> 01:02:07,800
but I'm just telling you, you
can have the confidence in the

934
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:11,300
boldness to share Christ,
because it's not my victory.

935
01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:14,600
It was Jesus Victory.
That's the story of our lives

936
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:15,900
that we don't Point people to
something.

937
01:02:15,900 --> 01:02:18,300
We did, we points.
I think that was finished for us

938
01:02:18,300 --> 01:02:21,200
on the cross, the final
permanent victory of our sin

939
01:02:21,300 --> 01:02:24,500
Jesus and we can boast and our
defeat amen.

940
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:28,000
We can say, I mess up, I'm not
perfect.

941
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:31,200
I'm sorry for all the times.
I blotted out at all right?

942
01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:33,000
And then, but Jesus has changed
my life.

943
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:34,700
I'm trying to like him.
Follow the 10%.

944
01:02:34,700 --> 01:02:37,900
Me looks like Christ and don't
fall. 90% them look like Jesus.

945
01:02:37,900 --> 01:02:40,600
Amen.
I keep falling Christ together

946
01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:43,200
on a journey together.
I'm not the Savior an Aquos.

947
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:46,100
I'm just a voice point of Christ
and added, humility and

948
01:02:46,100 --> 01:02:49,300
Brokenness.
And the God will lift you up.

949
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:51,400
Lift your voice up and point
people to him.

950
01:02:51,700 --> 01:02:53,700
So I don't have all the right
words or the right strategy, but

951
01:02:53,700 --> 01:02:56,500
I know it just takes you open
your mouth and saying things

952
01:02:56,500 --> 01:02:59,500
through Christ and it's amazing
with the opportunity.

953
01:02:59,500 --> 01:03:01,700
We have in front of you, if we
would just step into them,

954
01:03:02,100 --> 01:03:03,900
right?
I mean I'm just telling you to

955
01:03:03,900 --> 01:03:06,200
so many conversations that God
brings in their life all the

956
01:03:06,200 --> 01:03:09,400
time and I was like, man that
was a great opportunity to share

957
01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:10,600
Jesus.
With that person, you talk to

958
01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:13,200
him for two hours and then say
anything, could this have been

959
01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:13,800
God's?
Good.

960
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:16,700
Didn't he what you mean?
Like, I just got to get my life

961
01:03:16,700 --> 01:03:18,500
really?
Lee, I'm fond use my life.

962
01:03:18,500 --> 01:03:20,500
You're a Christian.
Do you have Hangouts for 20

963
01:03:20,500 --> 01:03:22,400
years?
I've known you a Christian, this

964
01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:23,800
credibly, see, a stuff all the
time.

965
01:03:23,900 --> 01:03:26,100
We should be the kind of people
that we know everybody stayed

966
01:03:26,100 --> 01:03:27,800
their soul.
Amen.

967
01:03:29,300 --> 01:03:31,000
Well yes, yes, sign of their
head, right?

968
01:03:31,500 --> 01:03:33,700
Like Bound for heaven, Bound for
hell.

969
01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:37,800
You recognize who people are and
that gives you compassion

970
01:03:38,300 --> 01:03:41,700
because we've messed up, right?
I mean we can't live this

971
01:03:41,700 --> 01:03:43,700
offended Christian life but
everybody else or hate.

972
01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:48,500
We've offended Jesus, but Jesus
died for us and so we patiently

973
01:03:48,500 --> 01:03:52,300
endure, right?
Those around us because there's

974
01:03:52,300 --> 01:03:54,800
people that have that, you don't
like, come on somebody, right?

975
01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:57,400
And they need Jesus.
And we deploy a part of the

976
01:03:57,400 --> 01:04:01,600
radical transformation, and
guess what he will, he will, he

977
01:04:01,607 --> 01:04:03,800
will surprise you.
And so the reality is this.

978
01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:06,600
We need to recognize that we had
to have the presence of God in

979
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:08,800
our life.
I think the end of day you got

980
01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:11,200
you got to come to statement,
it's really simple, just stop

981
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:14,400
making it about you.
Just stop making it about you.

982
01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:16,500
You know that's apply to every
leader.

983
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:19,200
It has ever spoken or shared or
LED.

984
01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:20,900
Something you always look back
and go.

985
01:04:20,900 --> 01:04:24,400
Oh I wish it would have are you
didn't say that Rider man, laid

986
01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:26,800
an egg right?
You know, I get I get the

987
01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:28,300
privilege do this every week,
right?

988
01:04:28,400 --> 01:04:32,000
And I know what is good, right?
I just tried out, you know, I

989
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:33,500
drive slow through the parking
lot, you know.

990
01:04:35,100 --> 01:04:37,800
And they know is goes bad, you
roll the window up, you you

991
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:41,500
little faster, right?
But then in the day I'll walk on

992
01:04:41,508 --> 01:04:43,600
the stage and as his word
Consecrate.

993
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:47,300
I just give it to God.
I said, God just use that.

994
01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:50,600
Like, in my own weakness, your
roommate strong.

995
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:53,500
Like I did the best I could, and
I'm going to leave the rest to

996
01:04:53,500 --> 01:04:56,200
you, Jesus.
Like I can't wander around life

997
01:04:56,200 --> 01:04:57,400
going.
Oh, is it good enough?

998
01:04:57,400 --> 01:04:58,800
Was it this enough?
It's like, no God.

999
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:00,000
You've got this.
Amen.

1000
01:05:00,500 --> 01:05:03,800
I trust you with this and so I
don't live in fear, or, in

1001
01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:06,300
boasting or insecurity or
weakness.

1002
01:05:06,300 --> 01:05:09,700
It's like he know God, you do
what you do and although I do

1003
01:05:09,700 --> 01:05:12,600
the best I can do and I laid out
a line for you and then just

1004
01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:14,800
Wait for you to move and that's
the fun.

1005
01:05:14,800 --> 01:05:17,800
We used to have every single
week every single day, really,

1006
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:20,400
when we talk about Jesus because
you never feel like you did a

1007
01:05:20,408 --> 01:05:22,100
good job.
Amen, man.

1008
01:05:22,100 --> 01:05:23,400
Look at me, I let that guy to
Christ.

1009
01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:26,200
It's like how that happened?
Let's talk to you guys for

1010
01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:29,700
listening to crisis week and
he's like I had no idea how that

1011
01:05:29,700 --> 01:05:32,600
happened, right?
We were talking about fireworks

1012
01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:35,100
and then we talk about dying
from fireworks and then we

1013
01:05:35,100 --> 01:05:37,500
talked about what happened with
died and then we talked about

1014
01:05:37,500 --> 01:05:43,100
Jesus and they would be saved.
Which is all his heart and God

1015
01:05:43,100 --> 01:05:46,700
brought around.
Amen, gasoline, the match Jesus

1016
01:05:46,700 --> 01:05:48,700
out all came together.
I just just worked out.

1017
01:05:48,900 --> 01:05:52,000
But Mark chapter 2 says this
this about how much passion she

1018
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:54,900
have to share.
Jesus, nothing's gonna stop us

1019
01:05:54,900 --> 01:05:57,100
from doing this.
But says, in chapter 2 verse 1,

1020
01:05:57,100 --> 01:06:00,100
says a few days later, remember
Jesus is extremely popular at

1021
01:06:00,100 --> 01:06:03,000
the time when Jesus, again
entered Capernaum where he's

1022
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:05,300
been gone weeks and all these
Villages, he's been the

1023
01:06:05,300 --> 01:06:09,000
outskirts and darkness.
Now he's back in the city, it's

1024
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:12,100
going to get crazy everybody.
Knows he's the Healer they can

1025
01:06:12,100 --> 01:06:15,000
change lives.
The people heard that he come

1026
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:18,100
home back to this probably Peter
dangerous home, they gathered in

1027
01:06:18,100 --> 01:06:22,000
such large numbers, that there
is no room left, not even

1028
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:26,800
outside the door, he preached
the word to them and some men

1029
01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:32,600
came bringing to him a paralyzed
man carried by four of them.

1030
01:06:32,800 --> 01:06:36,300
There's a group of men, there's
four of them in the middle and

1031
01:06:36,300 --> 01:06:39,200
all struggling to bring this
paralyzed man in the presence of

1032
01:06:39,200 --> 01:06:42,700
Jesus and since it could not get
him to Jesus because of the

1033
01:06:42,700 --> 01:06:45,600
crowd.
There's so many people like

1034
01:06:45,600 --> 01:06:49,300
sardines, packed, around the
door, around the home me last

1035
01:06:49,300 --> 01:06:51,300
time, there's 15,000.
How many people you think are

1036
01:06:51,300 --> 01:06:53,300
here now?
They can't get the presence of

1037
01:06:53,300 --> 01:06:55,100
Jesus.
It says these men.

1038
01:06:55,300 --> 01:06:59,800
They made an opening in the roof
above Jesus, by digging through

1039
01:06:59,800 --> 01:07:03,700
it and they lowered the mat.
The man was laying on into the

1040
01:07:03,700 --> 01:07:07,400
presence of Jesus.
Now, I want you to get your head

1041
01:07:07,700 --> 01:07:10,400
in the mindset of these four
people because I read all the

1042
01:07:10,408 --> 01:07:13,400
scripture up this point because
this was going on their heads.

1043
01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:15,000
Look man, I've heard about this
guy.

1044
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:19,100
Jesus heals lepers.
He, he forgives sins.

1045
01:07:19,100 --> 01:07:21,800
This boy, casts out demons and I
can't wait to go to church

1046
01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:23,900
today.
Buzzer to cast out a demon.

1047
01:07:23,900 --> 01:07:27,900
The church like this is pretty
with authority on the road.

1048
01:07:27,900 --> 01:07:32,700
There, this is paralyzed, man.
This man that they don't stop

1049
01:07:32,700 --> 01:07:36,700
and help will not get to the
presence of Jesus and how it

1050
01:07:36,707 --> 01:07:38,000
broke down.
But one of those men said, you

1051
01:07:38,008 --> 01:07:40,200
know what we should do.
Just everybody get a corner.

1052
01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:42,300
We're going to carry this band
of Jesus.

1053
01:07:42,900 --> 01:07:46,100
I don't know if it's For miles,
before hundred meters.

1054
01:07:46,500 --> 01:07:49,800
How far They Carried him to the
presence of God, but whatever

1055
01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:51,800
obstacles are in the way.
It didn't matter.

1056
01:07:52,100 --> 01:07:54,100
You didn't I look like fools.
Amen.

1057
01:07:54,600 --> 01:07:55,900
Do you have?
The proper equipment to carry

1058
01:07:55,900 --> 01:07:56,800
some.
Not a matte.

1059
01:07:57,300 --> 01:08:00,300
Look like idiots, luckylove past
this person by unwilling to

1060
01:08:00,300 --> 01:08:03,400
carry themselves, but they're
willing to do it.

1061
01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:07,100
They show up to his house and so
full of people that he can't get

1062
01:08:07,100 --> 01:08:09,000
to Jesus.
The kitten was your way through

1063
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:10,800
a crowd, even though get a
paralyzed, man.

1064
01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:14,300
That was willing to open the
door for a pathway to And so,

1065
01:08:14,300 --> 01:08:16,600
this blue collar, man, decided
Blue Collar, right?

1066
01:08:17,100 --> 01:08:21,700
Somebody decided had the
audacity to Courage, the gut,

1067
01:08:21,700 --> 01:08:25,800
the grit, the faith.
A lot of words, like putting are

1068
01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:31,000
thinking of, but I can't say to
get on the roof and just tear it

1069
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:33,600
off to get the presence of
Jesus.

1070
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:36,100
I mean, can you imagine the
boldness that you interrupt, the

1071
01:08:36,100 --> 01:08:40,100
message of Jesus was preaching
stomp on the roof?

1072
01:08:40,500 --> 01:08:43,500
Taryn back, all the sticks, this
compacted clay.

1073
01:08:43,700 --> 01:08:45,700
A which was hard.
It's like a rock.

1074
01:08:45,899 --> 01:08:49,100
They start beating it up out
their hands though, this piece

1075
01:08:49,100 --> 01:08:52,399
of dirt be thrown down on the
people in the in the house and

1076
01:08:52,399 --> 01:08:54,600
Jesus with a positive message by
this point because it's

1077
01:08:54,600 --> 01:08:57,300
obviously so distracting.
And he would have said this is

1078
01:08:57,300 --> 01:08:59,700
about to be the greatest
illustration of message of all

1079
01:08:59,700 --> 01:09:02,700
time and just wait for this
person to pop his head through.

1080
01:09:02,700 --> 01:09:04,800
And there was some dude.
What's up everybody?

1081
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:07,700
All right, some dude, proud that
you made a hole in the roof.

1082
01:09:07,800 --> 01:09:10,399
They stopped beating more and
more, the roof apart until you

1083
01:09:10,399 --> 01:09:12,500
got a hole.
Big enough to lower entire man.

1084
01:09:12,500 --> 01:09:15,700
So six foot.
Footlong two-foot-wide, whoever

1085
01:09:15,700 --> 01:09:19,200
the and they could these ropes
on the mat and then lower them

1086
01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:23,399
into the presence of Jesus.
Dude, that's great.

1087
01:09:23,899 --> 01:09:26,700
That's passion.
Let's Go full of Faith.

1088
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:28,600
They didn't care what Jesus was
saying.

1089
01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:29,800
They care.
They're interrupting the

1090
01:09:29,800 --> 01:09:32,899
message, they just knew.
If I just get this man, it's

1091
01:09:32,899 --> 01:09:36,600
just one sentence with a savior.
Everything is about to change

1092
01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:39,000
for him.
Verse 5 says this, when Jesus

1093
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:42,600
saw their faith not just the
paralyzed man's faith.

1094
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:48,300
We saw All their faith, their
faith said Son.

1095
01:09:48,399 --> 01:09:52,100
Your sins are forgiven it
incredible.

1096
01:09:52,200 --> 01:09:53,700
This is the first time in the
New Testament.

1097
01:09:53,700 --> 01:09:57,500
You see Jesus forgiving sins.
This was a new thing.

1098
01:09:57,700 --> 01:10:00,500
He casts out demons, he healed
people, but this time he said,

1099
01:10:00,500 --> 01:10:04,100
your sins are forgiven that he
made him whole.

1100
01:10:04,300 --> 01:10:06,400
Do you realize this paralyzed,
man, who thought he was

1101
01:10:06,400 --> 01:10:08,300
paralyzed?
Because he did something wrong,

1102
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:13,100
but he thought his sin caused
him to be a quadriplegic or to

1103
01:10:13,100 --> 01:10:15,300
be.
Wised, he thought he deserved

1104
01:10:15,300 --> 01:10:19,400
this but he earned this.
His life was so miserable.

1105
01:10:20,100 --> 01:10:24,200
This is my Penance, this is why
I deserve it.

1106
01:10:24,200 --> 01:10:27,100
So, Jesus knew like I'm gonna
tell this boy, he's made whole

1107
01:10:27,100 --> 01:10:30,000
today.
Amen, he forgave him.

1108
01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:34,300
I think about that story of
faith of the others with him,

1109
01:10:34,300 --> 01:10:37,400
that made him whole.
I mean, could it possibly be

1110
01:10:37,900 --> 01:10:41,300
that the faith of Dennis?
Healed his granddaughter.

1111
01:10:43,100 --> 01:10:46,700
Could it possibly be that he
begged God for his life?

1112
01:10:46,700 --> 01:10:49,700
He would follow him.
The God just maybe struck a

1113
01:10:49,708 --> 01:10:53,300
little bit of a deal.
He had the faith that God can do

1114
01:10:53,300 --> 01:10:55,600
it.
God is always work that way.

1115
01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:59,400
And I was saying it, I'll often
times like healing and miracles

1116
01:10:59,400 --> 01:11:03,100
happen to us have eternity, but
the reality is we play a part of

1117
01:11:03,100 --> 01:11:05,800
the story, more than we think.
So many times in the Bible is

1118
01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:07,200
like I can't get cast out this
demon.

1119
01:11:07,200 --> 01:11:08,900
I can do this.
You guys will some things only

1120
01:11:08,900 --> 01:11:12,600
come through prayer and fasting
is the presence of God.

1121
01:11:13,300 --> 01:11:15,000
What do you want to see this
change?

1122
01:11:15,700 --> 01:11:19,200
So maybe didn't activate the
holy spirit's power of healing.

1123
01:11:20,900 --> 01:11:23,200
But says there's a Verse 6, he
says, now, some teachers of law

1124
01:11:23,200 --> 01:11:25,500
were sitting there thinking
themselves.

1125
01:11:25,600 --> 01:11:27,100
I love that Jesus read people's
minds.

1126
01:11:27,600 --> 01:11:29,800
He says, why does this fellow
talk like this?

1127
01:11:29,900 --> 01:11:32,800
He's blaspheming slender God.
Who can forgive sins, but God

1128
01:11:32,800 --> 01:11:35,200
alone, right?
Question didn't like the answer,

1129
01:11:35,200 --> 01:11:37,300
right?
And immediately, Jesus knew in

1130
01:11:37,300 --> 01:11:39,900
his spirit that this was what
they were thinking in their

1131
01:11:39,900 --> 01:11:41,400
hearts.
They said to them, I'm sure by

1132
01:11:41,400 --> 01:11:45,200
complete and utter surprise.
And she said, why are you

1133
01:11:45,200 --> 01:11:49,200
thinking these things?
Which is easier to say this

1134
01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:51,300
paralyzed, man, your sins are
forgiven.

1135
01:11:51,600 --> 01:11:56,800
Bruce a good up, take your mat
and walk chewing things easier.

1136
01:11:57,400 --> 01:12:02,100
So Jesus he says this but I want
you to know today that the son

1137
01:12:02,100 --> 01:12:08,700
of man has Authority on Earth to
forgive sins.

1138
01:12:09,300 --> 01:12:13,500
If this boy picks up his math
and he walks out of this room,

1139
01:12:14,300 --> 01:12:17,700
then you have no doubt in your
mind that I'm the Son of God.

1140
01:12:17,900 --> 01:12:20,900
And I forgave his sins.
Amen.

1141
01:12:22,100 --> 01:12:24,600
The be no doubt in your mind.
I mean, it's so much easier,

1142
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:27,800
obviously have some healed and
forgive sins, but a trick

1143
01:12:27,800 --> 01:12:31,600
question, right?
And so Jesus, he said to the man

1144
01:12:31,600 --> 01:12:36,500
I tell you get up, take your mat
and go home and this boy got up

1145
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:42,300
took his math and I love it.
He strutted across the room and

1146
01:12:42,300 --> 01:12:44,600
front of everybody.
Amen.

1147
01:12:45,400 --> 01:12:47,800
I'm he was been like, yeah, I
was healed today.

1148
01:12:47,800 --> 01:12:49,500
All y'all didn't make room for
me.

1149
01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:51,400
Watch me walk out of here.
Make way.

1150
01:12:52,400 --> 01:12:56,000
I'm going home and that moment
every realized that this truly

1151
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:59,500
is the son of man.
This is some God, there's no one

1152
01:12:59,500 --> 01:13:01,300
coming.
Son of man comes from, Daniel

1153
01:13:01,300 --> 01:13:04,700
chapter 7, it's a reference to
the Messiah, the come.

1154
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:07,500
So he says the son of man.
He's referring to something.

1155
01:13:07,500 --> 01:13:11,200
Everybody know In this passage,
it says this, this amazed

1156
01:13:11,200 --> 01:13:15,400
everyone and they praised God
saying, we have never seen

1157
01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:21,200
anything like this.
Like I tell you today in 2023,

1158
01:13:21,500 --> 01:13:27,300
Two thousand years later.
They ain't seen nothing yet.

1159
01:13:28,700 --> 01:13:33,300
You ain't seen nothing yet.
Do you think God still wants to

1160
01:13:33,300 --> 01:13:35,900
move today?
There's people to be healed

1161
01:13:35,900 --> 01:13:38,700
today.
There's people either the stone

1162
01:13:38,700 --> 01:13:42,400
and the way of Shame rolled off
their life today that there's

1163
01:13:42,400 --> 01:13:44,200
people need to get to heaven
today.

1164
01:13:44,600 --> 01:13:47,200
There's some people that are
walking, we walk by all the time

1165
01:13:47,200 --> 01:13:50,300
that we just stopped.
Just have a hard heart

1166
01:13:50,300 --> 01:13:53,300
conversation and carry them to
Jesus.

1167
01:13:53,900 --> 01:13:56,700
They would get Share the good
news of Christ.

1168
01:13:57,000 --> 01:13:59,700
Do we should be okay with being
interrupted and the line at

1169
01:13:59,700 --> 01:14:02,100
Target.
Come on somebody, right?

1170
01:14:02,100 --> 01:14:05,500
We should just move aside and
make room just playing on two

1171
01:14:05,500 --> 01:14:08,000
hours a day that you're going to
invest in the kingdom of God, by

1172
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:10,800
being interrupted with the
people that come to you.

1173
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:13,800
In the end the day, you can find
it like a spot in your life,

1174
01:14:14,300 --> 01:14:17,600
isolated way and you can pray to
God and say thank you.

1175
01:14:17,600 --> 01:14:20,100
Jesus will work.
We're doing got restore me and

1176
01:14:20,100 --> 01:14:22,900

because our somebody that's

Jesus now, will rip the roof off

1178
01:14:26,200 --> 01:14:29,600
this place if I have to.
So this week, I just got to know

1179
01:14:29,700 --> 01:14:32,000
who's on your heart.
That needs to get to Jesus.

1180
01:14:32,600 --> 01:14:34,500
Who's not going to get there
without you saying something.

1181
01:14:35,500 --> 01:14:37,100
I'ma tell you, so I'm not sure

1185
01:14:45,900 --> 01:14:48,200
and got your witness here, block
and get which the city.

That's us.
That's where called who is God.

01:14:50,500 --> 01:14:51,600
Going your heart to bring it to
Jesus.

1188

We can't think of somebody, he's
praying ass and Godzilla.

01:14:54,300 --> 01:14:56,900
Give you somebody before.
You hit the parking, lot of the

01:15:02,500 --> 01:15:05,100

How hard are you willing to go

1193
01:15:05,100 --> 01:15:07,900
after to bring somebody to
Jesus?

1194

But like, how bowl is your

We're going to get a bill.
Come on somebody.

1201
01:15:24,500 --> 01:15:26,700
Right.
But someday, I'll get to do

1202
01:15:26,700 --> 01:15:28,000
that.
And that's what that's what you

1203
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:29,600
have to do for the cause of
Christ.

1204
01:15:29,800 --> 01:15:31,700
Like, there's nothing greater
really one thing.

live for and I'll gladly hand

1207
01:15:37,708 --> 01:15:39,700
there's nothing greater in your
life.

1208
01:15:39,700 --> 01:15:43,400
The calling to be a fisher of
you guys.

1209
01:15:43,400 --> 01:15:44,700
Ready to tear the roof off this
place.

1210
01:15:45,300 --> 01:15:48,300
Come on, Father God, we come
before you got to ask our

1211
01:15:48,300 --> 01:15:50,800
church, to be the church, just
the people of God humbly out of

1212
01:15:50,800 --> 01:15:53,100
the way, but we're not
qualified.

1213
01:15:53,100 --> 01:15:57,100
I good enough but got you So
God, we ask you to move through

1214
01:15:57,100 --> 01:16:00,600
us God, through the mouthpiece,
to the voice that points.

1215
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:03,800
This brings people God to you
and you do the work.

1216
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:06,400
I'll pray for our church today,
those who say, you know, what

1217
01:16:06,500 --> 01:16:08,200
I've been about business as
usual.

1218
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:10,500
I've been going through the
motions.

1219
01:16:10,700 --> 01:16:13,500
I've been going back to my net,
something about the business of

1220
01:16:13,500 --> 01:16:16,200
all my heart and stock my fears
all about the things of this

1221
01:16:16,200 --> 01:16:19,400
world.
So full the world, I hardly room

1222
01:16:19,400 --> 01:16:21,300
for Jesus.
But today, I recognize obvious

1223
01:16:21,300 --> 01:16:24,900
Fisher for men, some things that
leave behind Some relationships

1224
01:16:24,900 --> 01:16:26,400
that lie behind the day of
moving forward.

1225
01:16:26,400 --> 01:16:28,800
Things are Christ.
If that's you day and you feel

1226
01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:33,000
God's calling use the person in
your life, you will to step up

reminding them that the first

They're going to recognize this

1235
01:16:53,600 --> 01:16:57,400
call is Be somebody that's gonna
be friendly. - did you give us

1236
01:16:57,400 --> 01:17:00,500
strength and courage that they
push and take ground from the

1237
01:17:00,500 --> 01:17:02,700
enemy?
Well, he gets difficult just let

1238
01:17:02,700 --> 01:17:06,000
them know her mind them that's
because this is a spiritual

1239
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:10,200
battle field, not a playground.
So God help us to pursue and see

1240
01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:12,600
people change and say for you,
I'll pray for what we're group

01:18:43,300 --> 01:18:47,100
He left the god.
Well, hey, if you raise your

1272
01:18:47,100 --> 01:18:50,200
hand, if you prayed that prayer
today, we are just so excited

1273
01:18:50,200 --> 01:18:51,000
for you.
We just want to say

1274
01:18:51,000 --> 01:18:53,300
congratulations and give you a
couple.

1275
01:18:53,300 --> 01:18:54,900
Next steps you can take Take
right now.

1276
01:18:54,900 --> 01:18:58,800
So as Brandon showed us earlier
this morning, everyone's got one

1277
01:18:58,800 --> 01:19:01,100
of these communication cards on
their chair.

1278
01:19:01,100 --> 01:19:04,900
And on there, you're going to
see a box that says, I committed

1279
01:19:04,900 --> 01:19:08,400
my life to Jesus.
So if that was you today, I want

1280
01:19:08,400 --> 01:19:10,400
you to check that box.
I want you to put in your

1281
01:19:10,400 --> 01:19:15,200
information because we want to
mail you a free resource this

1282
01:19:15,200 --> 01:19:16,800
week.
We're going to mail you a book.

1283
01:19:16,800 --> 01:19:20,500
It's called begin and it's real
shorts only about 100 pages

1284
01:19:20,500 --> 01:19:24,000
long, but it's going to be an
awesome launch point for you.

1285
01:19:24,200 --> 01:19:28,300
You, as you take this next step
on your journey with Jesus.

1286
01:19:28,300 --> 01:19:30,900
We love to bless you with that
this week.

1287
01:19:30,900 --> 01:19:33,000
And another thing you can do, on
your way, out the door.

1288
01:19:33,000 --> 01:19:35,600
You'll see a table in the back
with some red bags, grab one of

1289
01:19:35,608 --> 01:19:39,400
those in, there's a Bible and
you can just dive into God's

1290
01:19:39,400 --> 01:19:44,200
word as this afternoon and just
see what he has for you today.

1291
01:19:44,400 --> 01:19:48,200
And there's also more resources
in there.

1292
01:19:48,400 --> 01:19:51,000
May not know about you guys, but
I thought Shawn just preached

1293
01:19:51,000 --> 01:19:54,100
down the house today, God's
using him in a mighty way.

1294
01:19:54,500 --> 01:19:57,100
As he asked, that's right.
Give it up for God.

1295
01:19:57,100 --> 01:19:59,700
And Sean is being able to be
used by God.

1296
01:19:59,700 --> 01:20:03,200
And he really just encourage us
to be passionate this week about

1297
01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:06,000
bringing people and I love that
line.

1298
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:09,800
You ain't seen nothing yet.
If you're anything like me, I

1299
01:20:09,800 --> 01:20:12,500
had my fingers and toes crossed
that Sean was going to give us a

1300
01:20:12,700 --> 01:20:14,700
but baby, you just ain't seen
nothing yet.

1301
01:20:14,700 --> 01:20:17,500
Maybe if we ask him in the hub,
he can bless us with that.

1302
01:20:17,600 --> 01:20:21,700
But but for real guys, next week
is the week, right?

1303
01:20:21,700 --> 01:20:25,800
It's Easter Sunday, probably the
The one of the best Sunday's of

1304
01:20:25,800 --> 01:20:29,000
the entire year to bring
someone, we want to make it as

1305
01:20:29,000 --> 01:20:31,900
