00:00:06.660 --> 00:00:08.820
Okay,<00:00:07.099><c> it's</c><00:00:07.219><c> good</c><00:00:07.320><c> to</c><00:00:07.500><c> see</c><00:00:07.639><c> everyone.</c>

00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:14.179
Can<00:00:12.460><c> I</c><00:00:12.539><c> ask</c><00:00:12.740><c> you</c><00:00:12.880><c> guys</c><00:00:13.039><c> a</c><00:00:13.220><c> question?</c>

00:00:15.259 --> 00:00:17.239
You<00:00:15.660><c> don't</c><00:00:15.779><c> have</c><00:00:15.939><c> to</c><00:00:16.039><c> answer</c><00:00:16.359><c> it</c><00:00:16.460><c> right</c><00:00:16.640><c> away.</c><00:00:16.920><c> In</c><00:00:17.000><c> fact,</c><00:00:17.199><c> you</c>

00:00:17.239 --> 00:00:18.879
don't<00:00:17.399><c> have</c><00:00:17.579><c> to</c><00:00:17.620><c> answer</c><00:00:17.920><c> it</c><00:00:18.079><c> at</c><00:00:18.219><c> all.</c>

00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:21.359
Do<00:00:19.440><c> you</c><00:00:19.539><c> think</c><00:00:19.760><c> that</c><00:00:19.899><c> the</c><00:00:20.019><c> Lord</c><00:00:20.179><c> Jesus</c><00:00:20.559><c> Christ</c><00:00:20.899><c> is</c><00:00:21.120><c> going</c><00:00:21.219><c> to</c>

come<00:00:21.559><c> soon?</c>

00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:25.280
I<00:00:23.160><c> mean,</c><00:00:23.359><c> you</c><00:00:23.579><c> don't</c><00:00:23.780><c> have</c><00:00:24.039><c> to</c><00:00:24.100><c> answer.</c><00:00:24.420><c> You</c><00:00:24.460><c> can</c><00:00:24.660><c> pass</c><00:00:24.899><c> if</c><00:00:25.039><c> you</c>

00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:28.579
want,<00:00:25.519><c> but</c><00:00:25.960><c> I'd</c><00:00:26.320><c> be</c><00:00:26.460><c> interested</c><00:00:26.760><c> to</c><00:00:26.980><c> know</c><00:00:27.059><c> what</c><00:00:27.260><c> you</c><00:00:27.559><c> think.</c>

00:00:29.420 --> 00:00:32.579
But<00:00:29.859><c> again,</c><00:00:30.079><c> you</c><00:00:30.179><c> don't</c><00:00:30.359><c> have</c><00:00:30.519><c> to</c><00:00:30.660><c> answer</c><00:00:30.879><c> if</c><00:00:31.039><c> you</c><00:00:31.140><c> don't</c><00:00:31.280><c> want</c><00:00:31.460><c> to.</c>

00:00:33.219 --> 00:00:35.859
Why<00:00:33.560><c> is</c><00:00:33.979><c> preaching</c><00:00:34.399><c> so</c><00:00:34.880><c> difficult?</c>

00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:39.880
I<00:00:37.200><c> think</c><00:00:37.320><c> there</c><00:00:37.500><c> are</c><00:00:37.579><c> many</c><00:00:37.719><c> ways</c><00:00:38.159><c> to</c><00:00:39.179><c> answer</c><00:00:39.399><c> this</c><00:00:39.619><c> question,</c>

00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:44.039
but<00:00:40.079><c> one</c><00:00:40.259><c> of</c><00:00:40.359><c> them</c><00:00:40.899><c> is</c><00:00:41.520><c> because</c><00:00:42.159><c> naturally</c><00:00:42.619><c> we're</c><00:00:42.920><c> self</c><00:00:43.100><c>-conscious.</c>

00:00:44.299 --> 00:00:47.240
And<00:00:44.700><c> it's</c><00:00:45.119><c> not</c><00:00:45.299><c> just</c><00:00:45.520><c> us.</c><00:00:45.719><c> I</c><00:00:45.840><c> think</c><00:00:46.000><c> we</c><00:00:46.240><c> stand</c><00:00:46.399><c> in</c><00:00:46.539><c> good</c><00:00:46.700><c> company</c><00:00:47.060><c> when</c>

00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:49.060
we<00:00:48.060><c> begin</c><00:00:48.219><c> to</c><00:00:48.399><c> look</c><00:00:48.520><c> at</c><00:00:48.719><c> Scripture</c>

00:00:49.060 --> 00:00:54.479
and<00:00:49.240><c> we</c><00:00:49.359><c> begin</c><00:00:49.740><c> to</c><00:00:50.020><c> see</c><00:00:50.520><c> other</c><00:00:50.899><c> people</c><00:00:51.219><c> who</c><00:00:52.479><c> also</c><00:00:53.119><c> were</c><00:00:54.159><c> self</c>

00:00:54.479 --> 00:00:56.259
-conscious<00:00:54.740><c> in</c><00:00:54.899><c> terms</c><00:00:55.119><c> of</c><00:00:55.320><c> sharing</c><00:00:55.500><c> the</c><00:00:55.719><c> hope</c><00:00:55.840><c> that</c><00:00:56.020><c> they</c><00:00:56.119><c> had</c>

00:00:57.979 --> 00:01:01.119
But<00:00:58.500><c> I</c><00:00:58.920><c> could</c><00:00:59.179><c> tell</c><00:00:59.399><c> you</c><00:00:59.600><c> that</c><00:00:59.939><c> one</c><00:01:00.060><c> of</c><00:01:00.179><c> the</c><00:01:00.200><c> reasons</c><00:01:00.460><c> we</c><00:01:00.859><c> find</c>

00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:06.140
preaching<00:01:01.439><c> so</c><00:01:01.679><c> difficult</c><00:01:02.060><c> is</c><00:01:02.320><c> because</c><00:01:03.340><c> of</c><00:01:05.099><c> the</c><00:01:05.280><c> verse</c><00:01:05.459><c> in</c><00:01:05.560><c> Matthew</c><00:01:05.879><c> 10</c>

00:01:06.140 --> 00:01:08.480
where<00:01:06.340><c> it</c><00:01:06.480><c> says,</c><00:01:06.959><c> Whoever</c><00:01:06.959><c> confesses</c><00:01:07.579><c> me</c><00:01:07.780><c> before</c><00:01:08.060><c> men,</c><00:01:08.340><c> that</c>

00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:13.980
Him,<00:01:11.579><c> Jesus,</c><00:01:12.000><c> will</c><00:01:12.159><c> also</c><00:01:12.519><c> confess</c><00:01:12.980><c> before</c><00:01:13.319><c> the</c><00:01:13.500><c> Father</c><00:01:13.739><c> who's</c>

00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:17.400
And<00:01:14.939><c> then</c><00:01:15.079><c> the</c><00:01:15.159><c> verse</c><00:01:15.400><c> that</c><00:01:15.579><c> follows</c><00:01:15.780><c> up</c><00:01:16.379><c> says</c><00:01:16.659><c> a</c><00:01:16.879><c> similar</c><00:01:17.099><c> idea.</c>

00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:21.159
Whoever<00:01:17.700><c> denies</c><00:01:18.359><c> Christ</c><00:01:18.980><c> before</c><00:01:19.400><c> men,</c><00:01:20.299><c> well,</c><00:01:20.659><c> Christ</c><00:01:20.900><c> will</c>

also<00:01:21.400><c> deny</c><00:01:21.739><c> him</c><00:01:22.019><c> before</c><00:01:22.280><c> the</c><00:01:22.459><c> Father</c><00:01:22.659><c> who's</c><00:01:22.879><c> in</c><00:01:23.040><c> heaven.</c>

00:01:23.299 --> 00:01:25.680
But<00:01:23.760><c> that's</c><00:01:24.019><c> not</c><00:01:24.299><c> really</c><00:01:24.519><c> the</c><00:01:24.659><c> motivation</c><00:01:25.079><c> I</c><00:01:25.239><c> think</c><00:01:25.420><c> that</c><00:01:25.579><c> we</c>

00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:31.260
I<00:01:29.400><c> don't</c><00:01:29.560><c> think</c><00:01:29.680><c> that</c><00:01:29.819><c> we</c><00:01:29.879><c> should</c><00:01:30.019><c> necessarily</c><00:01:30.379><c> be</c><00:01:30.680><c> compelled</c>

00:01:31.260 --> 00:01:34.819
as<00:01:31.640><c> such</c><00:01:31.980><c> or</c><00:01:32.420><c> feel</c><00:01:32.620><c> it's</c><00:01:33.019><c> an</c><00:01:33.180><c> obligation</c><00:01:33.680><c> or</c><00:01:33.959><c> a</c><00:01:34.140><c> sense</c><00:01:34.280><c> of</c><00:01:34.500><c> duty</c>

00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:40.659
Certainly<00:01:38.120><c> that</c><00:01:38.299><c> is</c><00:01:38.500><c> a</c><00:01:38.620><c> motivation,</c><00:01:39.040><c> but</c><00:01:39.819><c> I</c><00:01:40.079><c> don't</c><00:01:40.239><c> think</c><00:01:40.319><c> it's</c><00:01:40.519><c> one</c>

00:01:40.659 --> 00:01:43.939

00:01:43.939 --> 00:01:44.799
should<00:01:44.060><c> be.</c>

00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:48.159
Really,<00:01:46.079><c> we</c><00:01:46.219><c> want</c><00:01:46.359><c> the</c><00:01:46.519><c> motivation</c><00:01:46.920><c> to</c><00:01:47.140><c> be</c><00:01:47.519><c> the</c><00:01:47.739><c> love</c><00:01:47.879><c> that</c><00:01:48.019><c> we</c>

I<00:02:04.640><c> mean,</c><00:02:04.819><c> in</c><00:02:05.019><c> America,</c><00:02:05.519><c> it's</c><00:02:05.719><c> one</c><00:02:05.920><c> thing.</c>

00:02:06.260 --> 00:02:08.139
I<00:02:06.260><c> think</c><00:02:06.359><c> people</c><00:02:06.659><c> have</c><00:02:06.920><c> quite</c><00:02:07.140><c> a</c><00:02:07.239><c> bit</c><00:02:07.379><c> of</c><00:02:07.519><c> material</c><00:02:07.780><c> blessing,</c>

00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:10.500
and<00:02:08.360><c> so</c><00:02:08.819><c> they</c><00:02:09.080><c> may</c><00:02:09.219><c> not</c><00:02:09.460><c> see</c><00:02:09.620><c> it</c><00:02:09.740><c> as</c><00:02:09.819><c> a</c><00:02:09.960><c> hopeless</c><00:02:10.159><c> time.</c>

00:02:10.580 --> 00:02:13.479

00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:17.240

00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:20.860
Let's<00:02:17.860><c> turn</c><00:02:18.099><c> to</c><00:02:18.240><c> Jeremiah</c><00:02:18.620><c> chapter</c><00:02:19.060><c> 20</c><00:02:19.800><c> and</c><00:02:20.120><c> verse</c><00:02:20.319><c> 7</c><00:02:20.539><c> to</c><00:02:20.699><c> kind</c>

00:02:20.860 --> 00:02:24.259
of<00:02:20.960><c> get</c><00:02:21.099><c> a</c><00:02:21.580><c> glimpse</c><00:02:21.900><c> of</c><00:02:22.580><c> the</c><00:02:22.939><c> motivation</c><00:02:23.379><c> that</c><00:02:23.539><c> we</c><00:02:23.800><c> want</c><00:02:23.979><c> to</c>

00:02:29.659 --> 00:02:33.060
Not<00:02:30.000><c> necessarily</c><00:02:30.500><c> the</c><00:02:30.680><c> motivation</c><00:02:31.300><c> of</c><00:02:32.000><c> being</c><00:02:32.340><c> compelled</c><00:02:32.879><c> or</c>

00:02:33.060 --> 00:02:36.060
that<00:02:33.159><c> it's</c><00:02:33.379><c> a</c><00:02:33.500><c> sense</c><00:02:33.699><c> of</c><00:02:33.960><c> duty</c><00:02:34.300><c> or</c><00:02:34.979><c> something</c><00:02:35.280><c> we</c><00:02:35.560><c> should</c><00:02:35.800><c> do,</c>

00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:39.039
but<00:02:36.180><c> we</c><00:02:36.319><c> can't</c><00:02:36.520><c> really</c><00:02:36.719><c> bring</c><00:02:36.860><c> ourselves</c><00:02:37.300><c> to</c><00:02:37.659><c> do.</c>

00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:45.819
And<00:02:41.900><c> so</c><00:02:42.080><c> what</c><00:02:42.219><c> we'll</c><00:02:42.460><c> do</c><00:02:42.879><c> is</c><00:02:43.300><c> I'll</c><00:02:44.979><c> just</c><00:02:45.180><c> read</c><00:02:45.340><c> these</c><00:02:45.560><c> verses</c>

00:02:48.900 --> 00:02:53.379
We're<00:02:49.000><c> looking</c><00:02:49.199><c> at</c><00:02:49.379><c> Jeremiah</c><00:02:49.699><c> chapter</c><00:02:50.099><c> 20</c><00:02:51.419><c> verse</c><00:02:52.400><c> 7,</c><00:02:52.939><c> and</c><00:02:53.099><c> we'll</c><00:02:53.180><c> go</c>

00:03:02.020 --> 00:03:06.020
This<00:03:02.539><c> is</c><00:03:02.800><c> a</c><00:03:02.939><c> time</c><00:03:03.199><c> in</c><00:03:03.819><c> Jeremiah's</c><00:03:04.319><c> life</c><00:03:04.439><c> where</c><00:03:04.580><c> he's</c><00:03:04.860><c> extremely</c><00:03:05.199><c> frustrated</c><00:03:05.699><c> that</c><00:03:05.879><c> the</c>

00:03:11.539 --> 00:03:15.819

00:03:58.340 --> 00:04:02.400
I<00:03:58.780><c> think</c><00:03:58.939><c> that's</c><00:03:59.280><c> the</c><00:03:59.419><c> motivation</c><00:03:59.800><c> that</c><00:03:59.960><c> we</c><00:04:00.060><c> want</c><00:04:00.219><c> to</c><00:04:00.419><c> have</c><00:04:00.840><c> because</c><00:04:01.539><c> it's</c><00:04:02.300><c> a</c>

00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:14.300

00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:26.439
it's<00:04:23.319><c> probably</c><00:04:23.639><c> because</c><00:04:24.459><c> you</c><00:04:24.860><c> are</c><00:04:25.160><c> self</c><00:04:25.379><c>-conscious,</c><00:04:25.819><c> and</c><00:04:26.319><c> I</c>

00:06:05.139 --> 00:06:07.060
Now,<00:06:05.319><c> why</c><00:06:05.519><c> are</c><00:06:05.699><c> we</c><00:06:05.899><c> self</c><00:06:06.100><c>-conscious?</c>

00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:10.360
I<00:06:07.560><c> mean,</c><00:06:07.920><c> if</c><00:06:08.480><c> preaching</c><00:06:08.740><c> is</c><00:06:08.959><c> so</c><00:06:09.160><c> difficult</c><00:06:09.459><c> and</c><00:06:09.759><c> we</c><00:06:09.980><c> suggest</c>

00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:13.360
it<00:06:10.480><c> is</c><00:06:10.620><c> probably</c><00:06:10.759><c> because</c><00:06:11.079><c> we</c><00:06:11.379><c> are</c><00:06:11.620><c> self</c><00:06:11.860><c>-conscious,</c><00:06:13.019><c> why?</c>

00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:14.240
What<00:06:13.720><c> is</c><00:06:13.980><c> that?</c>

00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:16.860
What<00:06:14.740><c> is</c><00:06:15.120><c> that</c><00:06:15.319><c> deficiency</c><00:06:15.800><c> in</c><00:06:16.079><c> us?</c>

00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:24.060
It's<00:06:20.300><c> kind</c><00:06:20.420><c> of</c><00:06:20.500><c> a</c><00:06:20.620><c> double</c><00:06:20.800><c>-edged</c><00:06:20.959><c> sword,</c><00:06:21.319><c> this</c><00:06:21.459><c> idea</c><00:06:21.759><c> of</c><00:06:22.259><c> being</c><00:06:22.879><c> weak.</c>

00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:27.879
Do<00:06:25.339><c> you</c><00:06:25.379><c> remember</c><00:06:25.560><c> the</c><00:06:25.720><c> words</c><00:06:25.920><c> of</c><00:06:26.139><c> Paul</c><00:06:26.339><c> where</c><00:06:26.500><c> he</c><00:06:26.740><c> says,</c><00:06:27.800><c> when</c>

00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:30.579
I<00:06:28.060><c> am</c><00:06:28.220><c> weak,</c><00:06:28.959><c> then</c><00:06:29.220><c> I</c><00:06:29.420><c> am</c><00:06:29.720><c> strong?</c>

00:06:30.939 --> 00:06:32.519
This<00:06:31.120><c> is</c><00:06:31.379><c> kind</c><00:06:31.579><c> of</c><00:06:31.879><c> counterintuitive.</c>

00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:35.000
This<00:06:32.740><c> is</c><00:06:33.040><c> against</c><00:06:33.279><c> what</c><00:06:33.420><c> we</c><00:06:33.680><c> naturally</c><00:06:34.040><c> think.</c>

00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:37.879
When<00:06:36.560><c> we're</c><00:06:36.839><c> weak,</c><00:06:37.120><c> then</c><00:06:37.319><c> we're</c><00:06:37.600><c> strong.</c>

00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:39.439
What<00:06:38.500><c> is</c><00:06:38.620><c> he</c><00:06:38.879><c> talking</c><00:06:39.160><c> about?</c>

00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:42.639
Well,<00:06:39.860><c> what</c><00:06:39.980><c> he's</c><00:06:40.199><c> saying</c><00:06:40.420><c> is,</c><00:06:40.740><c> when</c><00:06:40.759><c> I'm</c><00:06:41.019><c> weak,</c><00:06:41.959><c> he</c><00:06:42.180><c> realizes</c>

His<00:06:45.759><c> own</c><00:06:46.040><c> strength</c><00:06:46.240><c> only</c><00:06:46.459><c> goes</c><00:06:46.639><c> up</c><00:06:46.939><c> so</c><00:06:47.339><c> far,</c><00:06:47.579><c> and</c><00:06:47.740><c> it's</c><00:06:47.920><c> limited.</c>

00:06:48.980 --> 00:06:51.899
And<00:06:49.240><c> what</c><00:06:49.360><c> he</c><00:06:49.620><c> sees</c><00:06:49.800><c> when</c><00:06:49.939><c> he's</c><00:06:50.120><c> weak</c><00:06:50.360><c> is</c><00:06:50.959><c> the</c><00:06:51.220><c> limitation</c><00:06:51.699><c> or</c>

00:06:55.959 --> 00:07:00.420
And<00:06:56.220><c> so</c><00:06:56.480><c> why</c><00:06:56.759><c> he's</c><00:06:57.040><c> able</c><00:06:57.279><c> to</c><00:06:57.540><c> say</c><00:06:57.680><c> that</c><00:06:57.860><c> he</c><00:06:58.000><c> is</c><00:06:58.319><c> strong</c><00:06:58.639><c> in</c><00:06:58.899><c> situations</c><00:06:59.360><c> where</c><00:06:59.680><c> he</c>

00:07:03.980 --> 00:07:06.519
sufficiency<00:07:04.379><c> and</c><00:07:04.680><c> the</c><00:07:04.920><c> strength</c><00:07:05.120><c> of</c><00:07:05.360><c> God</c><00:07:05.620><c> who</c><00:07:05.740><c> can</c><00:07:05.899><c> do</c><00:07:06.060><c> all</c><00:07:06.259><c> things.</c>

00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:11.740
That's<00:07:07.160><c> how</c><00:07:07.339><c> you</c><00:07:07.480><c> come</c><00:07:07.680><c> to</c><00:07:07.819><c> this</c><00:07:08.019><c> verse,</c><00:07:08.339><c> to</c><00:07:08.420><c> this</c><00:07:08.600><c> understanding</c><00:07:09.000><c> of</c><00:07:09.160><c> this</c><00:07:09.319><c> principle</c><00:07:09.759><c> that</c><00:07:10.339><c> later</c><00:07:10.620><c> comes</c><00:07:10.920><c> in</c>

00:07:18.379 --> 00:07:21.740
So<00:07:18.620><c> that's</c><00:07:19.040><c> how</c><00:07:19.259><c> we</c><00:07:19.420><c> get</c><00:07:19.579><c> to</c><00:07:19.740><c> that</c><00:07:19.959><c> understanding</c><00:07:20.639><c> of</c><00:07:21.399><c> I</c><00:07:21.579><c> can</c>

00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:27.540
It's<00:07:23.899><c> by</c><00:07:24.120><c> first</c><00:07:24.519><c> recognizing</c><00:07:24.959><c> that</c><00:07:25.120><c> we're</c><00:07:26.860><c> weak,</c><00:07:27.040><c> stepping</c>

forward<00:07:27.899><c> in</c><00:07:28.220><c> faith</c><00:07:28.519><c> that</c><00:07:28.980><c> God</c><00:07:29.220><c> can</c><00:07:29.420><c> do</c><00:07:29.579><c> things</c><00:07:29.779><c> that</c><00:07:29.899><c> are</c><00:07:30.079><c> otherwise</c><00:07:30.300><c> impossible</c><00:07:30.899><c> for</c><00:07:31.160><c> us.</c>

00:07:32.180 --> 00:07:34.920
And<00:07:32.500><c> then</c><00:07:32.699><c> we</c><00:07:32.800><c> are</c><00:07:32.980><c> victorious</c><00:07:33.500><c> when</c><00:07:33.680><c> we</c><00:07:33.879><c> otherwise</c><00:07:34.220><c> wouldn't</c><00:07:34.560><c> be.</c>

00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:40.300
I<00:07:35.379><c> think</c><00:07:35.519><c> this</c><00:07:35.740><c> applies</c><00:07:36.100><c> to</c><00:07:36.339><c> preaching</c><00:07:36.699><c> because</c><00:07:37.639><c> it's</c><00:07:38.040><c> not</c><00:07:38.220><c> natural</c><00:07:38.560><c> for</c><00:07:38.800><c> most</c><00:07:39.000><c> of</c><00:07:39.160><c> us.</c>

00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:44.620
Weakness<00:07:41.000><c> can</c><00:07:41.300><c> cut</c><00:07:41.639><c> two</c><00:07:41.980><c> ways</c><00:07:42.620><c> depending</c><00:07:43.259><c> on</c><00:07:43.439><c> our</c><00:07:43.639><c> perspective.</c>

00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:48.540
There's<00:07:44.899><c> a</c><00:07:44.980><c> bit</c><00:07:45.120><c> of</c><00:07:45.240><c> irony</c><00:07:45.540><c> to</c><00:07:45.699><c> it</c><00:07:45.800><c> because</c><00:07:46.240><c> at</c><00:07:47.439><c> first</c><00:07:47.660><c> God</c><00:07:47.959><c> wants</c><00:07:48.300><c> us</c>

00:07:48.540 --> 00:07:50.439
to<00:07:48.779><c> recognize</c><00:07:49.120><c> that</c><00:07:49.300><c> we're</c><00:07:49.500><c> weak.</c>

00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:53.060
And<00:07:50.839><c> we</c><00:07:51.160><c> know</c><00:07:51.399><c> this</c><00:07:51.600><c> because</c><00:07:51.879><c> scripture</c><00:07:52.220><c> says</c><00:07:52.480><c> this</c><00:07:52.639><c> very</c><00:07:52.839><c> thing.</c>

00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:55.660
It's<00:07:53.439><c> something</c><00:07:53.600><c> that</c><00:07:53.779><c> I</c><00:07:54.019><c> call</c><00:07:54.199><c> the</c><00:07:54.660><c> first</c><00:07:55.079><c> first</c><00:07:55.339><c> principle.</c>

00:07:55.939 --> 00:07:58.139
We<00:07:56.139><c> have</c><00:07:56.279><c> to</c><00:07:56.420><c> turn</c><00:07:56.540><c> this</c><00:07:56.720><c> up</c><00:07:56.860><c> because</c><00:07:57.060><c> it's</c><00:07:57.319><c> especially</c><00:07:57.620><c> important.</c>

00:07:58.139 --> 00:08:09.800
It's<00:07:58.759><c> in</c><00:07:58.899><c> Isaiah,</c><00:07:59.779><c> Chapter</c><00:07:59.779><c> 66,</c><00:08:04.699><c> the</c><00:08:05.100><c> first</c><00:08:05.379><c> first</c><00:08:05.639><c> principle,</c><00:08:08.220><c> Isaiah</c><00:08:08.860><c> 66</c>

00:08:22.540 --> 00:08:24.399
And<00:08:23.139><c> it's</c><00:08:23.259><c> kind</c><00:08:23.379><c> of</c><00:08:23.480><c> the</c><00:08:23.560><c> second</c><00:08:23.699><c> half</c><00:08:23.879><c> of</c><00:08:24.000><c> this</c><00:08:24.139><c> verse.</c>

00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:26.339
I'll<00:08:25.000><c> read</c><00:08:25.060><c> the</c><00:08:25.319><c> first</c><00:08:25.519><c> just</c><00:08:25.720><c> for</c><00:08:25.959><c> context.</c>

00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:29.899
It<00:08:26.480><c> says,</c><00:08:27.240><c> for</c><00:08:27.240><c> all</c><00:08:27.560><c> those</c><00:08:27.779><c> things</c><00:08:27.980><c> my</c><00:08:28.199><c> hand</c><00:08:28.379><c> is</c><00:08:28.620><c> made</c><00:08:28.980><c> and</c><00:08:29.639><c> all</c>

those<00:08:30.139><c> things</c><00:08:30.360><c> exist,</c><00:08:30.899><c> says</c><00:08:30.959><c> the</c><00:08:31.139><c> Lord.</c>

00:08:31.620 --> 00:08:32.679
This<00:08:31.839><c> is</c><00:08:32.019><c> a</c><00:08:32.120><c> key</c><00:08:32.240><c> part.</c>

00:08:32.820 --> 00:08:37.460
It<00:08:32.940><c> says,</c><00:08:33.259><c> but</c><00:08:33.580><c> to</c><00:08:33.980><c> this</c><00:08:34.320><c> one</c><00:08:34.519><c> will</c><00:08:34.720><c> I</c><00:08:34.940><c> look</c><00:08:35.279><c> of</c><00:08:35.960><c> him</c><00:08:36.220><c> who</c><00:08:36.360><c> is</c><00:08:36.740><c> poor</c><00:08:37.120><c> and</c><00:08:37.299><c> of</c>

00:08:40.779 --> 00:08:42.600
This<00:08:41.120><c> is</c><00:08:41.320><c> the</c><00:08:41.440><c> person</c><00:08:41.720><c> to</c><00:08:41.899><c> whom</c><00:08:41.980><c> God</c><00:08:42.220><c> will</c><00:08:42.379><c> look.</c>

00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:43.539
It's<00:08:42.820><c> not</c><00:08:43.019><c> the</c><00:08:43.259><c> proud.</c>

00:08:43.580 --> 00:08:44.419
It's<00:08:43.759><c> not</c><00:08:43.940><c> the</c><00:08:44.139><c> arrogant.</c>

00:08:44.779 --> 00:08:48.059
It's<00:08:45.019><c> the</c><00:08:45.059><c> one</c><00:08:45.139><c> who's</c><00:08:45.460><c> humble,</c><00:08:46.379><c> who's</c><00:08:46.580><c> of</c><00:08:46.679><c> a</c><00:08:46.860><c> contrite</c><00:08:47.320><c> spirit,</c><00:08:47.600><c> who's</c>

00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:54.759
And<00:08:52.740><c> this</c><00:08:53.039><c> this</c><00:08:53.279><c> sets</c><00:08:53.379><c> people</c><00:08:53.720><c> apart.</c>

00:08:55.019 --> 00:08:56.919

00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:52.279
So<00:09:49.360><c> what</c><00:09:49.539><c> is</c><00:09:49.799><c> the</c><00:09:49.940><c> solution</c><00:09:50.340><c> to</c><00:09:51.159><c> self</c><00:09:51.519><c>-consciousness?</c>

00:09:52.580 --> 00:09:54.860
If<00:09:52.720><c> we</c><00:09:52.899><c> want</c><00:09:53.080><c> to</c><00:09:53.320><c> preach</c><00:09:53.500><c> and</c><00:09:53.700><c> we're</c><00:09:54.059><c> concerned</c><00:09:54.419><c> about</c><00:09:54.639><c> it</c><00:09:54.820><c> and</c>

00:09:54.860 --> 00:09:57.500
we<00:09:55.080><c> feel</c><00:09:55.200><c> that</c><00:09:55.360><c> we're</c><00:09:55.500><c> not</c><00:09:55.740><c> adequate</c><00:09:56.059><c> to</c><00:09:56.240><c> the</c><00:09:56.399><c> job,</c><00:09:57.059><c> what</c><00:09:57.259><c> is</c>

00:09:57.500 --> 00:09:59.080
the<00:09:57.659><c> solution</c><00:09:57.960><c> to</c><00:09:58.220><c> self</c><00:09:58.519><c>-consciousness?</c>

00:09:59.460 --> 00:10:02.080
And<00:09:59.519><c> I</c><00:09:59.860><c> suggest</c><00:10:00.299><c> that</c><00:10:00.460><c> it's</c><00:10:00.679><c> God</c><00:10:00.960><c> consciousness.</c>

00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:03.960
It's<00:10:02.419><c> not</c><00:10:02.659><c> self</c><00:10:03.039><c>-consciousness</c><00:10:03.539><c> any</c><00:10:03.720><c> longer.</c>

00:10:03.980 --> 00:10:06.559
It's<00:10:04.240><c> turning</c><00:10:04.460><c> away</c><00:10:04.799><c> from</c><00:10:05.080><c> self</c><00:10:05.419><c> and</c><00:10:05.860><c> turning</c><00:10:05.980><c> our</c><00:10:06.200><c> attention</c>

00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:09.580
to<00:10:06.759><c> God</c><00:10:07.259><c> because</c><00:10:07.779><c> God</c><00:10:08.019><c> can</c><00:10:08.200><c> do</c><00:10:08.360><c> all</c><00:10:08.600><c> things.</c>

00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:13.100
And<00:10:09.899><c> this</c><00:10:10.080><c> is</c><00:10:10.279><c> borne</c><00:10:10.519><c> out</c><00:10:10.639><c> by</c><00:10:10.799><c> the</c><00:10:11.019><c> example</c><00:10:11.240><c> of</c><00:10:11.399><c> Moses</c><00:10:11.820><c> and</c><00:10:12.100><c> Joshua</c><00:10:12.460><c> and</c><00:10:12.639><c> Jeremiah.</c>

00:10:13.100 --> 00:10:17.019
When<00:10:13.759><c> Moses'</c><00:10:14.419><c> perspective</c><00:10:14.940><c> shifts,</c><00:10:15.899><c> shifted,</c><00:10:16.360><c> that</c><00:10:16.360><c> is,</c><00:10:16.519><c> from</c><00:10:16.700><c> looking</c><00:10:16.879><c> at</c>

to<00:10:23.679><c> change.</c>

00:10:24.259 --> 00:10:27.139
It's<00:10:24.480><c> the</c><00:10:24.679><c> same</c><00:10:24.860><c> example</c><00:10:25.220><c> we</c><00:10:25.539><c> see</c><00:10:26.019><c> when</c><00:10:26.259><c> we</c><00:10:26.379><c> look</c><00:10:26.500><c> at</c><00:10:26.700><c> Joshua.</c>

00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:30.980
How<00:10:27.659><c> many</c><00:10:27.940><c> times</c><00:10:28.539><c> has</c><00:10:28.919><c> Joshua</c><00:10:29.200><c> been</c><00:10:29.460><c> told</c><00:10:29.759><c> in</c><00:10:30.000><c> Scripture</c><00:10:30.360><c> to</c>

00:10:30.980 --> 00:10:33.100
take<00:10:31.299><c> courage</c><00:10:31.759><c> and</c><00:10:31.960><c> be</c><00:10:32.259><c> strong</c><00:10:32.600><c> in</c><00:10:32.720><c> the</c><00:10:32.860><c> Lord?</c>

00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:36.700
And<00:10:33.759><c> finally,</c><00:10:34.019><c> when</c><00:10:34.200><c> he</c><00:10:34.419><c> does,</c><00:10:35.200><c> he</c><00:10:35.440><c> is</c><00:10:35.759><c> strong.</c>

00:10:37.019 --> 00:10:38.080
Same<00:10:37.259><c> thing</c><00:10:37.440><c> with</c><00:10:37.620><c> Jeremiah.</c>

00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:43.639

00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:54.000
When<00:10:49.940><c> he</c><00:10:50.440><c> stepped</c><00:10:50.659><c> out</c><00:10:50.860><c> in</c><00:10:51.120><c> faith</c><00:10:51.299><c> that</c><00:10:51.440><c> God</c><00:10:51.659><c> would</c><00:10:51.919><c> be</c><00:10:52.100><c> with</c><00:10:52.320><c> him,</c><00:10:53.200><c> despite</c><00:10:53.580><c> such</c><00:10:53.799><c> a</c>

All<00:11:14.980><c> we're</c><00:11:15.179><c> simply</c><00:11:15.399><c> being</c><00:11:15.659><c> asked</c><00:11:15.879><c> to</c><00:11:16.080><c> do</c><00:11:16.419><c> is</c><00:11:17.000><c> to</c><00:11:17.299><c> step</c><00:11:17.539><c> forward</c>

And<00:11:48.080><c> I</c><00:11:48.159><c> think</c><00:11:48.279><c> it's</c><00:11:48.480><c> helpful</c><00:11:48.820><c> to</c><00:11:49.240><c> figure</c><00:11:49.460><c> out</c><00:11:49.620><c> what</c><00:11:49.799><c> Paul</c><00:11:50.059><c> was</c><00:11:50.299><c> preaching.</c>

00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:54.120
So<00:11:52.019><c> let's</c><00:11:52.320><c> look</c><00:11:52.500><c> at</c><00:11:52.779><c> Acts</c><00:11:53.220><c> chapter</c><00:11:53.620><c> 28.</c>

00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:59.440
This<00:11:54.580><c> is</c><00:11:54.720><c> actually</c><00:11:54.960><c> going</c><00:11:55.120><c> to</c><00:11:55.120><c> be</c><00:11:55.259><c> coming</c><00:11:55.360><c> up</c><00:11:55.539><c> in</c><00:11:55.659><c> our</c><00:11:55.860><c> readings</c><00:11:56.100><c> again</c><00:11:57.360><c> here</c><00:11:59.019><c> in</c><00:11:59.159><c> about</c><00:11:59.360><c> a</c>

00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:00.399
week<00:11:59.580><c> and</c><00:11:59.740><c> a</c><00:11:59.740><c> half</c><00:12:00.000><c> or</c><00:12:00.220><c> so.</c>

00:12:00.899 --> 00:12:03.200
So<00:12:00.899><c> hopefully</c><00:12:01.320><c> if</c><00:12:01.440><c> you</c><00:12:01.539><c> do</c><00:12:01.720><c> your</c><00:12:01.899><c> readings</c><00:12:02.220><c> and</c><00:12:02.399><c> you're</c><00:12:02.600><c> at</c><00:12:02.700><c> the</c><00:12:02.759><c> end</c><00:12:02.960><c> of</c>

00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:07.419
Acts<00:12:03.320><c> in</c><00:12:03.500><c> a</c><00:12:03.600><c> few</c><00:12:03.700><c> weeks,</c><00:12:05.179><c> this</c><00:12:05.279><c> will</c><00:12:05.460><c> come</c><00:12:06.820><c> up</c><00:12:07.000><c> into</c><00:12:07.220><c> your</c>

00:12:07.419 --> 00:12:07.779
brain<00:12:07.519><c> again.</c>

00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:12.840
And<00:12:08.200><c> you'll</c><00:12:08.600><c> be</c><00:12:08.799><c> reminded</c><00:12:09.139><c> of</c><00:12:09.960><c> not</c><00:12:10.179><c> only</c><00:12:10.500><c> the</c><00:12:10.980><c> need</c><00:12:11.100><c> to</c><00:12:11.340><c> preach,</c><00:12:12.039><c> the</c><00:12:12.220><c> reason</c><00:12:12.440><c> why</c><00:12:12.639><c> to</c>

00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:16.480
preach,<00:12:13.679><c> how</c><00:12:13.879><c> to</c><00:12:14.100><c> preach,</c><00:12:14.320><c> but</c><00:12:14.480><c> also</c><00:12:15.580><c> what</c><00:12:15.940><c> to</c><00:12:16.220><c> preach.</c>

00:12:16.580 --> 00:12:19.720
And<00:12:16.779><c> that's</c><00:12:16.940><c> what</c><00:12:17.039><c> we're</c><00:12:17.100><c> going</c><00:12:17.179><c> to</c><00:12:17.340><c> find</c><00:12:17.500><c> here</c><00:12:17.700><c> in</c><00:12:17.879><c> Acts</c><00:12:18.279><c> chapter</c><00:12:18.720><c> 28.</c>

00:12:20.419 --> 00:12:22.820
So<00:12:20.899><c> I</c><00:12:21.379><c> always</c><00:12:21.580><c> think</c><00:12:21.700><c> it's</c><00:12:21.879><c> important</c><00:12:22.139><c> to</c><00:12:22.299><c> give</c><00:12:22.419><c> a</c><00:12:22.519><c> little</c><00:12:22.620><c> bit</c>

00:12:22.820 --> 00:12:24.879
of<00:12:22.980><c> context</c><00:12:23.299><c> to</c><00:12:23.419><c> what</c><00:12:23.460><c> you're</c><00:12:23.639><c> talking</c><00:12:23.879><c> about.</c>

00:12:24.940 --> 00:12:29.659
Here<00:12:25.080><c> the</c><00:12:25.340><c> context</c><00:12:25.779><c> is</c><00:12:26.639><c> Paul</c><00:12:27.519><c> has</c><00:12:27.779><c> appealed</c><00:12:28.159><c> to</c><00:12:28.440><c> Caesar,</c><00:12:29.519><c> and</c>

00:12:29.659 --> 00:12:31.200
to<00:12:30.200><c> Caesar</c><00:12:30.399><c> he</c><00:12:30.580><c> will</c><00:12:30.779><c> go.</c>

00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:35.340
And<00:12:32.000><c> I'll</c><00:12:32.940><c> just</c><00:12:33.139><c> read</c><00:12:33.700><c> verses</c><00:12:34.139><c> 16</c><00:12:34.720><c> to</c><00:12:34.960><c> 31.</c>

00:12:35.379 --> 00:12:36.600
So<00:12:35.580><c> a</c><00:12:35.679><c> decent</c><00:12:35.919><c> chunk</c><00:12:36.100><c> of</c><00:12:36.259><c> scripture.</c>

00:12:37.059 --> 00:12:39.659
Hopefully<00:12:37.320><c> you</c><00:12:37.399><c> can</c><00:12:37.600><c> stay</c><00:12:37.740><c> with</c><00:12:37.919><c> me</c><00:12:38.080><c> while</c><00:12:38.220><c> I</c><00:12:38.360><c> read</c><00:12:38.559><c> it</c><00:12:38.799><c> out</c><00:12:38.919><c> loud.</c>

00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:45.299
Very<00:12:42.220><c> last</c><00:12:42.480><c> chapter</c><00:12:42.799><c> of</c><00:12:43.000><c> Acts,</c><00:12:43.120><c> Acts</c><00:12:43.379><c> 28,</c><00:12:44.080><c> 16</c><00:12:44.580><c> through</c><00:12:44.820><c> the</c><00:12:44.980><c> end.</c>

00:12:45.299 --> 00:12:48.700
It<00:12:45.759><c> says,</c><00:12:46.139><c> Now</c><00:12:46.200><c> when</c><00:12:46.379><c> we</c><00:12:46.580><c> came</c><00:12:46.820><c> to</c><00:12:47.019><c> Rome,</c><00:12:47.559><c> the</c><00:12:47.679><c> centurion</c><00:12:48.179><c> delivered</c><00:12:48.460><c> the</c>

00:12:48.700 --> 00:12:50.159
prisoners<00:12:49.019><c> to</c><00:12:49.240><c> the</c><00:12:49.379><c> captain</c><00:12:49.620><c> of</c><00:12:49.740><c> the</c><00:12:49.899><c> guard.</c>

00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:53.120
But<00:12:50.820><c> Paul</c><00:12:51.159><c> was</c><00:12:51.419><c> permitted</c><00:12:51.700><c> to</c><00:12:51.940><c> dwell</c><00:12:52.120><c> by</c><00:12:52.320><c> himself</c><00:12:52.740><c> with</c><00:12:52.960><c> the</c>

00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:54.299
soldier<00:12:53.360><c> who</c><00:12:53.620><c> guarded</c><00:12:53.860><c> him.</c>

00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:57.120
And<00:12:54.940><c> it</c><00:12:55.039><c> came</c><00:12:55.200><c> to</c><00:12:55.379><c> pass</c><00:12:55.600><c> after</c><00:12:55.860><c> three</c><00:12:56.120><c> days</c><00:12:56.399><c> that</c><00:12:56.580><c> Paul</c><00:12:56.840><c> called</c>

00:12:57.120 --> 00:12:58.899
the<00:12:57.299><c> leaders</c><00:12:57.460><c> of</c><00:12:57.620><c> the</c><00:12:57.740><c> Jews</c><00:12:57.879><c> together.</c>

00:12:58.940 --> 00:13:00.879
So<00:12:59.100><c> when</c><00:12:59.220><c> they</c><00:12:59.379><c> had</c><00:12:59.500><c> come</c><00:12:59.639><c> together,</c><00:13:00.000><c> he</c><00:13:00.240><c> said</c><00:13:00.419><c> to</c><00:13:00.539><c> them,</c><00:13:00.720><c> Men</c>

00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:03.440
and<00:13:01.059><c> brethren,</c><00:13:02.100><c> though</c><00:13:02.220><c> I</c><00:13:02.279><c> have</c><00:13:02.399><c> done</c><00:13:02.539><c> nothing</c><00:13:02.779><c> against</c><00:13:03.139><c> our</c>

00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:05.600
people<00:13:03.820><c> or</c><00:13:04.279><c> the</c><00:13:04.460><c> customs</c><00:13:04.779><c> of</c><00:13:05.019><c> our</c><00:13:05.179><c> fathers,</c>

00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:08.259
yet<00:13:06.039><c> I</c><00:13:06.179><c> was</c><00:13:06.320><c> delivered</c><00:13:06.600><c> as</c><00:13:06.879><c> a</c><00:13:07.100><c> prisoner</c><00:13:07.360><c> from</c><00:13:07.559><c> Jerusalem</c><00:13:08.039><c> into</c>

00:13:08.259 --> 00:13:10.960
the<00:13:08.440><c> hands</c><00:13:08.559><c> of</c><00:13:08.720><c> the</c><00:13:08.860><c> Romans,</c><00:13:09.600><c> who</c><00:13:09.740><c> when</c><00:13:09.879><c> they</c><00:13:10.019><c> examined</c><00:13:10.440><c> me,</c>

00:13:11.059 --> 00:13:12.259
wanted<00:13:11.360><c> to</c><00:13:11.580><c> let</c><00:13:11.679><c> me</c><00:13:11.879><c> go.</c>

00:13:12.259 --> 00:13:15.419
But<00:13:12.940><c> there</c><00:13:13.080><c> was</c><00:13:13.240><c> no</c><00:13:13.480><c> cause</c><00:13:13.799><c> for</c><00:13:14.000><c> putting</c><00:13:14.139><c> me</c><00:13:14.340><c> to</c><00:13:14.460><c> death.</c>

00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:17.700
But<00:13:15.659><c> when</c><00:13:15.840><c> the</c><00:13:16.019><c> Jews</c><00:13:16.179><c> spoke</c><00:13:16.480><c> against</c><00:13:16.879><c> it,</c><00:13:17.019><c> I</c><00:13:17.100><c> was</c><00:13:17.360><c> compelled</c>

00:13:17.700 --> 00:13:19.179
to<00:13:17.899><c> appeal</c><00:13:18.120><c> as</c><00:13:18.379><c> Caesar.</c>

00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:23.399
Not<00:13:19.519><c> that</c><00:13:19.700><c> I</c><00:13:19.820><c> had</c><00:13:19.899><c> anything</c><00:13:20.220><c> to</c><00:13:20.480><c> accuse</c><00:13:21.059><c> my</c><00:13:22.100><c> nation,</c><00:13:23.139><c> of</c><00:13:23.259><c> which</c>

00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:24.240
to<00:13:23.559><c> accuse</c><00:13:23.740><c> my</c><00:13:23.940><c> nation.</c>

00:13:24.620 --> 00:13:27.580
For<00:13:24.759><c> this</c><00:13:25.000><c> reason,</c><00:13:25.279><c> therefore,</c><00:13:25.600><c> I</c><00:13:25.759><c> have</c><00:13:25.919><c> called</c><00:13:26.159><c> for</c><00:13:26.559><c> you</c><00:13:27.159><c> to</c>

00:13:27.580 --> 00:13:29.559
see<00:13:27.919><c> you</c><00:13:28.299><c> and</c><00:13:28.559><c> to</c><00:13:28.840><c> speak</c><00:13:28.980><c> with</c><00:13:29.220><c> you.</c>

00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:31.639
This<00:13:29.980><c> is</c><00:13:30.120><c> the</c><00:13:30.139><c> one</c><00:13:30.240><c> I</c><00:13:30.340><c> want</c><00:13:30.419><c> to</c><00:13:30.580><c> emphasize.</c>

00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:35.320
Because<00:13:32.159><c> for</c><00:13:32.559><c> the</c><00:13:32.720><c> hope</c><00:13:32.860><c> of</c><00:13:33.080><c> Israel,</c><00:13:33.419><c> I</c><00:13:33.620><c> am</c><00:13:33.840><c> bound</c><00:13:34.039><c> with</c><00:13:34.240><c> this</c><00:13:34.519><c> chain.</c>

00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:37.539
Now,<00:13:35.840><c> my</c><00:13:36.019><c> question</c><00:13:36.299><c> is</c><00:13:36.500><c> moving</c><00:13:36.700><c> forward,</c><00:13:37.000><c> just</c><00:13:37.179><c> to</c><00:13:37.320><c> keep</c><00:13:37.440><c> in</c>

00:13:37.539 --> 00:13:40.779
your<00:13:37.720><c> mind</c><00:13:37.879><c> as</c><00:13:38.000><c> we</c><00:13:38.179><c> read</c><00:13:38.299><c> the</c><00:13:38.460><c> next</c><00:13:38.639><c> 10</c><00:13:39.139><c> verses</c><00:13:39.480><c> or</c><00:13:39.720><c> so,</c><00:13:39.960><c> is</c><00:13:40.220><c> what</c><00:13:40.500><c> is</c>

00:13:40.779 --> 00:13:41.620
this<00:13:41.000><c> hope</c><00:13:41.139><c> of</c><00:13:41.340><c> Israel?</c>

00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:50.619
Okay.

00:17:51.220 --> 00:17:54.500
And<00:17:51.440><c> so</c><00:17:51.839><c> what</c><00:17:52.119><c> that</c><00:17:52.420><c> means</c><00:17:52.640><c> is</c><00:17:52.900><c> that</c><00:17:53.119><c> it</c><00:17:53.359><c> takes</c><00:17:53.680><c> a</c><00:17:53.880><c> long</c><00:17:54.180><c> time</c>

00:17:56.259 --> 00:17:57.940
Sometimes<00:17:56.700><c> it</c><00:17:56.900><c> takes</c><00:17:57.220><c> 80</c><00:17:57.480><c> years.</c>

00:17:57.980 --> 00:18:00.839

00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:22.259
I<00:18:18.119><c> think</c><00:18:18.299><c> the</c><00:18:18.500><c> goal,</c><00:18:19.619><c> young</c><00:18:19.740><c> people,</c><00:18:20.819><c> people</c><00:18:21.079><c> who</c><00:18:21.359><c> fear</c><00:18:21.539><c> the</c><00:18:21.700><c> Word</c><00:18:21.779><c> of</c><00:18:21.980><c> God,</c><00:18:22.160><c> I</c>

And<00:18:26.220><c> what</c><00:18:26.339><c> I</c><00:18:26.480><c> mean</c><00:18:26.559><c> by</c><00:18:26.759><c> that</c><00:18:26.960><c> is</c><00:18:28.140><c> a</c><00:18:28.559><c> simple</c><00:18:28.759><c> question</c><00:18:29.380><c> like,</c><00:18:30.880><c> do</c>

00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:33.779
you<00:18:31.200><c> think</c><00:18:31.940><c> that</c><00:18:32.279><c> the</c><00:18:32.400><c> Lord</c><00:18:32.539><c> Jesus</c><00:18:32.859><c> Christ</c><00:18:33.200><c> is</c><00:18:33.420><c> going</c><00:18:33.559><c> to</c>

return<00:18:34.059><c> soon?</c>

00:18:34.460 --> 00:18:38.740
Or<00:18:35.000><c> simply,</c><00:18:35.640><c> even</c><00:18:35.819><c> if</c><00:18:35.900><c> you</c><00:18:36.059><c> don't</c><00:18:36.319><c> want</c><00:18:36.460><c> to</c><00:18:36.539><c> put</c><00:18:36.680><c> it</c><00:18:36.740><c> in</c><00:18:37.140><c> a</c><00:18:37.519><c> Christian</c><00:18:38.000><c> context,</c><00:18:38.619><c> you</c>

00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:43.900
Not<00:18:42.980><c> that</c><00:18:43.059><c> things</c><00:18:43.200><c> are</c><00:18:43.359><c> going</c><00:18:43.460><c> to</c><00:18:43.640><c> end.</c>

00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:45.299
The<00:18:44.160><c> world's</c><00:18:44.380><c> not</c><00:18:44.619><c> going</c><00:18:44.759><c> to</c><00:18:44.960><c> end.</c>

00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:47.240
The<00:18:45.779><c> world's</c><00:18:45.960><c> going</c><00:18:46.059><c> to</c><00:18:46.359><c> continue.</c>

00:18:53.960 --> 00:18:55.359
You<00:18:54.039><c> don't</c><00:18:54.220><c> have</c><00:18:54.420><c> to</c><00:18:54.500><c> be</c><00:18:54.619><c> a</c><00:18:54.640><c> Bible</c><00:18:54.920><c> student.</c>

00:18:55.460 --> 00:18:58.039
You<00:18:55.579><c> could</c><00:18:55.660><c> have</c><00:18:56.039><c> no</c><00:18:56.500><c> interest</c><00:18:56.839><c> in</c><00:18:56.980><c> the</c><00:18:57.119><c> Bible</c><00:18:57.279><c> whatsoever</c><00:18:57.799><c> or</c>

00:19:00.779 --> 00:19:03.240

00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:14.519
I'm<00:19:12.059><c> not</c><00:19:12.339><c> saying</c><00:19:12.500><c> it's</c><00:19:13.039><c> necessarily</c><00:19:13.559><c> all</c><00:19:13.779><c> the</c><00:19:13.900><c> time</c><00:19:14.019><c> going</c><00:19:14.299><c> to</c>

lead<00:19:14.720><c> to</c><00:19:15.240><c> disproving</c><00:19:15.880><c> a</c><00:19:16.119><c> supernatural</c><00:19:16.539><c> devil</c><00:19:16.900><c> or</c><00:19:17.400><c> disproving</c>

00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:20.299
the<00:19:18.279><c> idea</c><00:19:18.579><c> that</c><00:19:19.039><c> Jesus</c><00:19:19.500><c> is</c><00:19:19.880><c> God.</c>

00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:23.059
If<00:19:20.920><c> they're</c><00:19:21.200><c> interested,</c><00:19:21.799><c> that</c><00:19:22.059><c> may</c><00:19:22.279><c> come</c><00:19:22.539><c> to</c><00:19:22.779><c> that.</c>

00:19:23.140 --> 00:19:24.700
But<00:19:23.299><c> it's</c><00:19:23.500><c> certainly</c><00:19:23.640><c> not</c><00:19:23.819><c> going</c><00:19:23.920><c> to</c><00:19:24.019><c> come</c><00:19:24.140><c> to</c><00:19:24.299><c> that</c><00:19:24.440><c> at</c><00:19:24.599><c> the</c>

beginning<00:19:24.880><c> of</c><00:19:25.079><c> the</c><00:19:25.220><c> conversation.</c>

00:19:26.500 --> 00:19:30.559
Now,<00:19:27.099><c> I</c><00:19:27.359><c> think</c><00:19:27.539><c> there</c><00:19:27.759><c> is</c><00:19:27.819><c> something</c><00:19:28.039><c> that</c><00:19:28.380><c> is</c><00:19:29.359><c> very</c><00:19:29.660><c> frustrating</c><00:19:30.059><c> in</c><00:19:30.339><c> our</c>

ecclesial<00:19:30.940><c> system,</c><00:19:31.519><c> and</c><00:19:31.920><c> that's</c><00:19:32.119><c> that</c><00:19:32.559><c> we</c><00:19:32.779><c> all</c><00:19:33.019><c> need</c><00:19:33.240><c> roles.</c>

00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:38.319
Every<00:19:34.799><c> one</c><00:19:34.920><c> of</c><00:19:35.019><c> us</c><00:19:35.140><c> needs</c><00:19:35.400><c> to</c><00:19:35.599><c> have</c><00:19:35.740><c> a</c><00:19:35.920><c> role</c><00:19:36.119><c> and</c><00:19:36.299><c> a</c><00:19:36.480><c> responsibility</c><00:19:37.099><c> in</c><00:19:37.779><c> the</c><00:19:38.000><c> truth.</c>

00:19:38.579 --> 00:19:40.859
And<00:19:38.680><c> I</c><00:19:38.779><c> think</c><00:19:38.980><c> especially</c><00:19:39.519><c> as</c><00:19:39.700><c> young</c><00:19:39.839><c> people,</c><00:19:40.079><c> this</c><00:19:40.180><c> can</c><00:19:40.319><c> be</c><00:19:40.500><c> difficult.</c>

00:19:41.140 --> 00:19:43.500

00:25:22.900 --> 00:25:24.339
It's<00:25:23.200><c> Matthew</c><00:25:23.519><c> 7</c><00:25:23.839><c> verse</c><00:25:24.059><c> 6.</c>

00:25:24.339 --> 00:25:26.099
I'll<00:25:24.539><c> read</c><00:25:24.640><c> that</c><00:25:24.920><c> in</c><00:25:25.039><c> just</c><00:25:25.200><c> a</c><00:25:25.319><c> moment.</c>

00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:37.000
Okay,<00:25:35.019><c> so</c><00:25:35.220><c> this</c><00:25:35.440><c> is</c><00:25:35.619><c> sort</c><00:25:35.799><c> of</c><00:25:35.880><c> the</c><00:25:35.940><c> end</c><00:25:36.099><c> of</c><00:25:36.220><c> the</c><00:25:36.380><c> Sermon</c><00:25:36.559><c> on</c><00:25:36.720><c> the</c><00:25:36.839><c> Mount.</c>

00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:39.000
This<00:25:37.180><c> is</c><00:25:37.420><c> the</c><00:25:37.579><c> Lord's</c><00:25:37.920><c> first</c><00:25:38.339><c> public</c><00:25:38.700><c> speech.</c>

00:25:39.000 --> 00:25:41.160
This<00:25:39.200><c> is</c><00:25:40.039><c> extremely</c><00:25:40.640><c> important.</c>

00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:45.380
This<00:25:41.359><c> is</c><00:25:41.460><c> where</c><00:25:41.539><c> he</c><00:25:41.740><c> lays</c><00:25:42.099><c> out,</c><00:25:43.480><c> he</c><00:25:43.799><c> sets</c><00:25:44.000><c> the</c><00:25:44.180><c> bar</c><00:25:44.359><c> high.</c>

00:25:45.740 --> 00:25:48.220
And<00:25:45.960><c> here's</c><00:25:46.099><c> what</c><00:25:46.200><c> he</c><00:25:46.339><c> says</c><00:25:46.539><c> in</c><00:25:46.660><c> Matthew</c><00:25:47.059><c> 7</c><00:25:47.619><c> verse</c><00:25:47.940><c> 6.</c>

00:25:48.220 --> 00:25:55.339
He<00:25:48.319><c> says,</c><00:25:49.240><c> Do</c><00:25:49.380><c> not</c><00:25:49.759><c> give</c><00:25:50.720><c> what</c><00:25:51.700><c> is</c><00:25:52.019><c> holy</c><00:25:52.619><c> to</c><00:25:53.420><c> the</c><00:25:53.599><c> dogs,</c><00:25:55.200><c> nor</c>

00:25:55.339 --> 00:25:58.339
cast<00:25:55.680><c> your</c><00:25:55.960><c> pearls</c><00:25:56.299><c> before</c><00:25:56.819><c> swine,</c><00:25:57.440><c> lest</c><00:25:57.579><c> they</c><00:25:57.880><c> trample</c><00:25:58.200><c> them</c>

00:25:58.339 --> 00:25:59.059
under<00:25:58.519><c> their</c><00:25:58.819><c> feet.</c>

00:25:59.059 --> 00:26:01.940
And<00:25:59.400><c> then</c><00:25:59.460><c> they</c><00:25:59.660><c> turn</c><00:25:59.960><c> and</c><00:26:00.220><c> tear</c><00:26:00.380><c> you</c><00:26:00.660><c> into</c><00:26:00.880><c> pieces.</c>

00:26:02.019 --> 00:26:03.839
I<00:26:02.119><c> don't</c><00:26:02.160><c> know</c><00:26:02.240><c> if</c><00:26:02.259><c> you've</c><00:26:02.400><c> ever</c><00:26:02.559><c> heard</c><00:26:02.680><c> anybody</c><00:26:02.940><c> use</c><00:26:03.220><c> this</c><00:26:03.480><c> verse</c><00:26:03.640><c> to</c>

00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:05.740
say,<00:26:04.519><c> well,</c><00:26:04.720><c> we</c><00:26:05.000><c> have</c><00:26:05.200><c> what's</c><00:26:05.539><c> holy.</c>

00:26:05.779 --> 00:26:08.099
We<00:26:05.960><c> have</c><00:26:06.119><c> these</c><00:26:06.480><c> pearls,</c><00:26:07.099><c> the</c><00:26:07.200><c> pearl</c><00:26:07.359><c> of</c><00:26:07.579><c> great</c><00:26:07.819><c> price.</c>

00:26:08.220 --> 00:26:11.420
We<00:26:08.299><c> understand</c><00:26:08.900><c> the</c><00:26:09.339><c> things</c><00:26:09.579><c> concerning</c><00:26:09.980><c> the</c><00:26:10.339><c> kingdom</c><00:26:10.519><c> of</c><00:26:10.740><c> God</c><00:26:10.900><c> and</c><00:26:11.039><c> the</c><00:26:11.140><c> name</c><00:26:11.259><c> of</c>

00:26:11.420 --> 00:26:11.839
Jesus<00:26:11.619><c> Christ.</c>

00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:15.400
We<00:26:12.039><c> have</c><00:26:12.200><c> the</c><00:26:12.380><c> good</c><00:26:12.559><c> news,</c><00:26:13.259><c> the</c><00:26:13.480><c> gospel</c><00:26:13.799><c> message,</c><00:26:14.279><c> but</c><00:26:14.980><c> it's</c>

00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:16.059
of<00:26:15.640><c> no</c><00:26:15.900><c> use.</c>

00:26:16.079 --> 00:26:18.940
It's<00:26:16.299><c> a</c><00:26:16.359><c> waste</c><00:26:16.559><c> of</c><00:26:16.799><c> time</c><00:26:16.980><c> to</c><00:26:17.099><c> go</c><00:26:17.220><c> and</c><00:26:17.440><c> share</c><00:26:17.539><c> those</c><00:26:17.779><c> things</c><00:26:17.980><c> with</c><00:26:18.359><c> people</c><00:26:18.700><c> who</c>

00:26:18.940 --> 00:26:19.660
are<00:26:19.160><c> unbelievers.</c>

00:26:19.720 --> 00:26:22.299
They're<00:26:19.900><c> dogs,</c><00:26:20.660><c> they're</c><00:26:20.799><c> Gentile</c><00:26:21.240><c> dogs.</c>

00:26:23.480 --> 00:26:26.940
Now,<00:26:24.059><c> I</c><00:26:24.200><c> don't</c><00:26:24.359><c> know</c><00:26:24.460><c> about</c><00:26:24.660><c> you,</c><00:26:25.420><c> but</c><00:26:25.480><c> I</c><00:26:26.000><c> don't</c><00:26:26.200><c> think</c><00:26:26.319><c> we</c><00:26:26.539><c> have</c><00:26:26.759><c> the</c>

00:26:26.940 --> 00:26:29.240
ability<00:26:27.140><c> to</c><00:26:27.380><c> perceive</c><00:26:27.660><c> who's</c><00:26:27.880><c> a</c><00:26:28.039><c> dog</c><00:26:28.220><c> and</c><00:26:28.339><c> who's</c><00:26:28.559><c> not</c><00:26:28.700><c> a</c><00:26:28.819><c> dog.</c>

00:26:29.599 --> 00:26:35.380
I<00:26:29.680><c> think</c><00:26:29.799><c> it's</c><00:26:30.160><c> quite</c><00:26:30.859><c> an</c><00:26:32.019><c> arrogant</c><00:26:32.500><c> position</c><00:26:33.140><c> to</c><00:26:34.119><c> say</c><00:26:34.279><c> that</c><00:26:34.480><c> somebody's</c><00:26:34.819><c> a</c><00:26:34.960><c> dog.</c>

00:26:35.740 --> 00:26:38.119
In<00:26:35.940><c> fact,</c><00:26:36.039><c> that's</c><00:26:36.319><c> exactly</c><00:26:36.559><c> what</c><00:26:36.740><c> the</c><00:26:36.920><c> Pharisees</c><00:26:37.299><c> were</c><00:26:37.460><c> condemned</c><00:26:37.720><c> for.</c>

00:26:38.599 --> 00:26:41.200
They<00:26:38.759><c> were</c><00:26:38.900><c> saying,</c><00:26:39.079><c> well,</c><00:26:39.259><c> this</c><00:26:39.480><c> is</c><00:26:39.660><c> a</c><00:26:39.859><c> worthless</c><00:26:40.099><c> person.</c>

00:26:41.339 --> 00:26:42.599
We<00:26:41.500><c> shouldn't</c><00:26:41.660><c> even</c><00:26:41.900><c> spend</c><00:26:42.039><c> time</c><00:26:42.339><c> on</c><00:26:42.519><c> them.</c>

00:26:42.619 --> 00:26:44.880
I<00:26:42.720><c> don't</c><00:26:42.940><c> think</c><00:26:43.099><c> that</c><00:26:43.220><c> that</c><00:26:43.380><c> should</c><00:26:43.500><c> be</c><00:26:43.660><c> our</c><00:26:43.859><c> perspective.</c>

00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:50.799
I<00:26:45.200><c> think</c><00:26:45.339><c> our</c><00:26:45.619><c> perspective</c><00:26:45.960><c> should</c><00:26:46.160><c> be</c><00:26:46.980><c> the</c><00:26:47.799><c> perspective</c><00:26:48.339><c> that</c><00:26:48.660><c> comes</c><00:26:48.980><c> from</c><00:26:50.279><c> Paul</c><00:26:50.619><c> in</c>

00:26:50.799 --> 00:26:51.619
1<00:26:50.960><c> Corinthians</c><00:26:51.380><c> 9.</c>

00:26:51.619 --> 00:26:52.640
This<00:26:51.779><c> is</c><00:26:51.920><c> what</c><00:26:52.019><c> he</c><00:26:52.240><c> says</c><00:26:52.380><c> there.</c>

00:26:52.640 --> 00:26:54.740
We<00:26:52.759><c> don't</c><00:26:52.900><c> have</c><00:26:53.039><c> to</c><00:26:53.200><c> turn</c><00:26:53.299><c> this</c><00:26:53.519><c> one</c><00:26:53.619><c> up.</c>

00:26:56.019 --> 00:26:59.480
He<00:26:56.259><c> says,</c><00:26:56.880><c> woe</c><00:26:57.440><c> is</c><00:26:57.559><c> to</c><00:26:57.740><c> me</c><00:26:57.839><c> if</c><00:26:57.960><c> I</c><00:26:58.079><c> don't</c><00:26:58.220><c> preach</c><00:26:58.440><c> the</c><00:26:58.680><c> gospel.</c>

00:26:59.640 --> 00:27:00.799
That's<00:26:59.859><c> what</c><00:26:59.880><c> he</c><00:27:00.059><c> said.</c>

00:27:01.079 --> 00:27:01.960
Woe<00:27:01.380><c> is</c><00:27:01.539><c> to</c><00:27:01.700><c> me.</c>

00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:04.440
It's<00:27:02.519><c> the</c><00:27:02.720><c> same</c><00:27:02.859><c> message</c><00:27:03.160><c> that</c><00:27:03.359><c> comes</c><00:27:03.480><c> from</c><00:27:03.700><c> Ezekiel</c><00:27:04.019><c> 33.</c>

00:27:04.579 --> 00:27:07.680
Let's<00:27:04.900><c> look</c><00:27:05.059><c> at</c><00:27:05.200><c> Ezekiel</c><00:27:05.539><c> 33</c><00:27:05.900><c> because</c><00:27:06.059><c> this</c><00:27:07.000><c> is,</c><00:27:07.420><c> I</c><00:27:07.420><c> believe,</c>

00:27:07.819 --> 00:27:11.000
where<00:27:08.059><c> Paul</c><00:27:08.319><c> is</c><00:27:08.660><c> referencing</c><00:27:09.019><c> when</c><00:27:09.740><c> he</c><00:27:09.880><c> says</c><00:27:10.119><c> that</c><00:27:10.359><c> idea,</c><00:27:10.700><c> woe</c>

00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:14.539

00:27:15.359 --> 00:27:18.960
I<00:27:15.700><c> think</c><00:27:16.079><c> he's</c><00:27:16.599><c> drawing</c><00:27:16.839><c> this</c><00:27:17.019><c> from</c><00:27:17.180><c> the</c><00:27:17.420><c> context</c><00:27:17.759><c> of</c><00:27:17.960><c> Ezekiel</c><00:27:18.440><c> 33.</c>

00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:20.500
I<00:27:19.220><c> could</c><00:27:19.500><c> be</c><00:27:19.759><c> wrong.</c>

00:27:23.059 --> 00:27:25.640
This<00:27:23.460><c> is</c><00:27:23.779><c> the</c><00:27:24.039><c> watchman's</c><00:27:24.720><c> cry.</c>

00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:29.500
And<00:27:27.859><c> again,</c><00:27:27.960><c> I</c><00:27:28.059><c> don't</c><00:27:28.259><c> know</c><00:27:28.420><c> that</c><00:27:28.539><c> we</c><00:27:28.680><c> should</c><00:27:28.799><c> necessarily</c><00:27:29.180><c> be</c>

00:27:29.500 --> 00:27:32.160
negatively<00:27:29.900><c> motivated,</c><00:27:30.839><c> but</c><00:27:31.019><c> here's</c><00:27:31.319><c> what</c><00:27:31.440><c> the</c><00:27:31.640><c> watchman's</c>

00:27:32.160 --> 00:27:32.480

00:29:25.240 --> 00:29:27.000
God's<00:29:25.460><c> not</c><00:29:25.619><c> saying,</c><00:29:25.839><c> no,</c><00:29:26.019><c> you're</c><00:29:26.359><c> swine.</c>

00:29:27.200 --> 00:29:29.559
We<00:29:27.480><c> shouldn't</c><00:29:28.019><c> put</c><00:29:28.299><c> the</c><00:29:28.460><c> word</c><00:29:28.559><c> of</c><00:29:28.660><c> God</c><00:29:28.839><c> before</c><00:29:29.200><c> you.</c>

00:29:29.779 --> 00:29:31.599
He<00:29:29.980><c> says,</c><00:29:30.119><c> here's</c><00:29:30.420><c> the</c><00:29:30.519><c> word</c><00:29:30.619><c> of</c><00:29:30.799><c> God,</c><00:29:31.000><c> you</c><00:29:31.160><c> decide.</c>

00:29:31.880 --> 00:29:36.400
It's<00:29:32.140><c> up</c><00:29:32.240><c> to</c><00:29:32.440><c> you,</c><00:29:33.519><c> and</c><00:29:33.759><c> it's</c><00:29:33.940><c> up</c><00:29:34.059><c> to</c><00:29:34.519><c> each</c><00:29:34.720><c> of</c><00:29:34.900><c> us</c><00:29:35.480><c> to</c><00:29:36.099><c> accept</c>

00:29:36.400 --> 00:29:37.579
it<00:29:36.559><c> or</c><00:29:36.660><c> to</c><00:29:37.220><c> deny</c><00:29:37.400><c> it.</c>

00:29:37.579 --> 00:29:38.960
But<00:29:37.680><c> it's</c><00:29:37.960><c> also</c><00:29:38.240><c> more</c><00:29:38.420><c> than</c><00:29:38.619><c> that.</c>

00:29:39.240 --> 00:29:41.200
So<00:29:39.380><c> we</c><00:29:39.619><c> have</c><00:29:39.980><c> the</c><00:29:40.279><c> understanding</c><00:29:40.619><c> of</c><00:29:40.799><c> the</c><00:29:40.960><c> truth.</c>

00:29:41.339 --> 00:29:42.180
Fabulous,<00:29:41.859><c> wonderful.</c>

00:29:42.319 --> 00:29:43.319
We<00:29:42.440><c> get</c><00:29:42.660><c> it.</c>

00:29:43.519 --> 00:29:44.279
Good.

00:29:44.779 --> 00:29:47.759
But<00:29:44.980><c> to</c><00:29:45.099><c> whom</c><00:29:45.279><c> much</c><00:29:45.500><c> is</c><00:29:45.740><c> given,</c><00:29:45.900><c> much</c><00:29:46.140><c> is</c><00:29:46.420><c> required,</c><00:29:46.940><c> right?</c>

00:29:47.940 --> 00:29:51.880
And<00:29:48.099><c> so</c><00:29:48.240><c> what's</c><00:29:48.640><c> required</c><00:29:49.000><c> of</c><00:29:49.160><c> us</c><00:29:49.319><c> here</c><00:29:49.619><c> in</c><00:29:49.799><c> Ezekiel's</c><00:29:50.359><c> time</c><00:29:50.500><c> and</c><00:29:50.619><c> what</c><00:29:50.740><c> Paul</c><00:29:50.940><c> picks</c><00:29:51.180><c> up</c><00:29:51.380><c> again</c><00:29:51.579><c> in</c><00:29:51.740><c> 1</c>

Corinthians<00:29:52.220><c> 9</c><00:29:52.539><c> is</c><00:29:52.680><c> that</c><00:29:52.880><c> same</c><00:29:53.119><c> concept.</c>

00:29:54.019 --> 00:29:56.559
Woe<00:29:54.200><c> is</c><00:29:54.319><c> unto</c><00:29:54.539><c> us</c><00:29:54.799><c> if</c><00:29:54.900><c> we</c><00:29:55.059><c> don't</c><00:29:55.279><c> share</c><00:29:55.599><c> it.</c>

00:29:56.640 --> 00:29:59.619
Now,<00:29:57.160><c> if</c><00:29:57.460><c> your</c><00:29:57.779><c> fear</c><00:29:57.920><c> is</c><00:29:58.079><c> you</c><00:29:58.200><c> don't</c><00:29:58.400><c> have</c><00:29:58.599><c> all</c><00:29:58.880><c> the</c><00:29:59.039><c> verses</c><00:29:59.259><c> lined</c><00:29:59.480><c> up</c>

00:29:59.619 --> 00:30:02.619
in<00:29:59.740><c> your</c><00:29:59.960><c> mind</c><00:30:00.279><c> to</c><00:30:00.759><c> defend</c><00:30:01.140><c> the</c><00:30:01.400><c> idea</c><00:30:01.559><c> that</c><00:30:01.720><c> Jesus</c><00:30:02.059><c> is</c><00:30:02.339><c> the</c><00:30:02.500><c> Son</c>

00:30:02.619 --> 00:30:06.660
of<00:30:02.799><c> God</c><00:30:02.980><c> and</c><00:30:03.140><c> not</c><00:30:03.339><c> God</c><00:30:03.559><c> himself,</c><00:30:05.400><c> you've</c><00:30:05.839><c> beguiled</c><00:30:06.220><c> yourself.</c>

00:30:06.660 --> 00:30:08.700
You've<00:30:06.980><c> tricked</c><00:30:07.119><c> yourself</c><00:30:07.519><c> into</c><00:30:07.720><c> thinking</c><00:30:07.960><c> that</c><00:30:08.180><c> you're</c><00:30:08.480><c> not</c>

00:30:08.700 --> 00:30:10.940
able<00:30:08.880><c> to</c><00:30:09.119><c> do</c><00:30:09.259><c> it</c><00:30:09.519><c> because</c><00:30:09.740><c> you</c><00:30:09.900><c> don't</c><00:30:10.099><c> need</c><00:30:10.240><c> those</c><00:30:10.460><c> skills.</c>

00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:13.640
Somebody<00:30:11.619><c> in</c><00:30:11.779><c> the</c><00:30:11.900><c> Ecclesia</c><00:30:12.140><c> does</c><00:30:12.720><c> because</c><00:30:13.099><c> eventually</c><00:30:13.500><c> it</c>

00:30:13.640 --> 00:30:14.339
may<00:30:13.779><c> come</c><00:30:13.960><c> to</c><00:30:14.180><c> that.</c>

00:30:14.380 --> 00:30:15.220
Hopefully<00:30:14.700><c> it</c><00:30:14.940><c> will.</c>

00:30:15.460 --> 00:30:17.380
That<00:30:15.619><c> we</c><00:30:15.740><c> do</c><00:30:15.859><c> need</c><00:30:15.980><c> to</c><00:30:16.160><c> open</c><00:30:16.299><c> our</c><00:30:16.519><c> Bibles</c><00:30:16.720><c> and</c><00:30:16.859><c> do</c><00:30:16.980><c> a</c><00:30:17.180><c> serious</c>

or<00:30:20.500><c> the</c><00:30:20.680><c> idea</c><00:30:20.859><c> of</c><00:30:21.039><c> heaven</c><00:30:21.180><c> and</c><00:30:21.440><c> hell</c><00:30:21.640><c> and</c><00:30:21.880><c> so</c><00:30:21.980><c> on</c><00:30:22.099><c> and</c><00:30:22.240><c> so</c><00:30:22.460><c> forth.</c>

00:30:23.359 --> 00:30:25.380
But<00:30:23.500><c> I</c><00:30:23.559><c> think</c><00:30:23.700><c> our</c><00:30:23.960><c> jobs</c><00:30:24.299><c> and</c><00:30:24.460><c> I</c><00:30:24.480><c> think</c><00:30:24.640><c> something</c><00:30:24.839><c> we</c><00:30:24.980><c> can</c><00:30:25.160><c> do</c>

00:30:25.380 --> 00:30:28.480
immediately,<00:30:26.160><c> no</c><00:30:26.259><c> matter</c><00:30:26.400><c> how</c><00:30:26.680><c> old</c><00:30:26.900><c> you</c><00:30:27.140><c> are,</c><00:30:27.299><c> no</c><00:30:27.420><c> matter</c><00:30:27.619><c> what</c><00:30:27.880><c> gender</c><00:30:28.200><c> you</c>

are,<00:30:29.099><c> is</c><00:30:29.180><c> that</c><00:30:29.299><c> you</c><00:30:29.380><c> can</c><00:30:29.599><c> prick</c><00:30:29.680><c> people's</c><00:30:30.200><c> conscience</c><00:30:30.799><c> and</c><00:30:31.599><c> get</c><00:30:31.759><c> them</c><00:30:32.079><c> thinking</c><00:30:32.420><c> about</c><00:30:32.660><c> the</c><00:30:32.839><c> word</c><00:30:32.940><c> of</c><00:30:33.220><c> God.</c>

00:30:33.539 --> 00:30:36.099
It<00:30:33.960><c> doesn't</c><00:30:34.220><c> take</c><00:30:34.500><c> much</c><00:30:34.759><c> necessarily</c><00:30:35.259><c> to</c><00:30:35.480><c> do</c><00:30:35.640><c> that.</c>

00:30:36.500 --> 00:30:40.339
It<00:30:36.660><c> takes</c><00:30:37.339><c> a</c><00:30:37.839><c> little</c><00:30:38.000><c> bit</c><00:30:38.180><c> of</c><00:30:38.880><c> a</c><00:30:38.940><c> little</c><00:30:39.099><c> bit</c><00:30:39.319><c> of</c><00:30:39.519><c> faith.</c>

00:30:43.740 --> 00:30:45.799
So<00:30:43.960><c> I've</c><00:30:44.220><c> just</c><00:30:44.420><c> compiled</c><00:30:44.839><c> a</c><00:30:45.039><c> few</c><00:30:45.180><c> little</c><00:30:45.359><c> ideas.</c>

00:30:55.859 --> 00:30:57.380
So<00:30:56.039><c> you're</c><00:30:56.240><c> the</c><00:30:56.359><c> victims</c><00:30:56.660><c> of</c><00:30:56.880><c> it.</c>

00:30:57.380 --> 00:30:58.900
I'm<00:30:57.720><c> going</c><00:30:57.779><c> to</c><00:30:57.960><c> give</c><00:30:58.059><c> you</c><00:30:58.259><c> a</c><00:30:58.480><c> worksheet.</c>

00:31:05.940 --> 00:31:07.960
That's<00:31:06.140><c> why</c><00:31:06.259><c> I</c><00:31:06.339><c> have</c><00:31:06.400><c> this</c><00:31:06.619><c> lovely</c><00:31:06.980><c> blue</c><00:31:07.220><c> timer</c><00:31:07.519><c> here.</c>

Here's<00:33:06.640><c> the</c><00:33:06.880><c> story.</c>

00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:10.099
The<00:33:07.400><c> story</c><00:33:07.680><c> is</c><00:33:07.839><c> I</c><00:33:07.880><c> was</c><00:33:08.099><c> working</c><00:33:08.299><c> at</c><00:33:08.480><c> a</c><00:33:08.660><c> restaurant</c><00:33:08.940><c> in</c><00:33:09.059><c> Chicago.</c>

00:33:10.160 --> 00:33:14.259
And<00:33:10.380><c> I</c><00:33:11.200><c> worked</c><00:33:11.380><c> at</c><00:33:11.539><c> a</c><00:33:11.599><c> restaurant</c><00:33:11.819><c> for</c><00:33:12.000><c> quite</c><00:33:12.140><c> a</c><00:33:12.299><c> while</c><00:33:12.539><c> and,</c><00:33:13.019><c> you</c><00:33:13.240><c> know,</c><00:33:13.319><c> just</c><00:33:13.539><c> kind</c><00:33:13.720><c> of</c><00:33:13.799><c> living</c><00:33:13.920><c> a</c>

00:33:14.259 --> 00:33:14.980
crazy<00:33:14.559><c> life.</c>

00:33:15.380 --> 00:33:17.420
And<00:33:15.740><c> I</c><00:33:16.160><c> thought</c><00:33:16.299><c> about</c><00:33:16.460><c> moving</c><00:33:16.660><c> out</c><00:33:16.839><c> to</c><00:33:17.039><c> California.</c>

00:33:17.420 --> 00:33:19.859
So<00:33:17.619><c> I</c><00:33:17.720><c> went</c><00:33:18.099><c> out</c><00:33:18.279><c> to</c><00:33:18.420><c> California</c><00:33:18.779><c> to</c><00:33:18.980><c> visit</c><00:33:19.180><c> a</c><00:33:19.460><c> buddy</c><00:33:19.619><c> of</c><00:33:19.759><c> mine</c>

00:33:19.859 --> 00:33:23.500

00:33:23.500 --> 00:33:23.900
with<00:33:23.700><c> him.</c>

00:33:24.319 --> 00:33:25.960
And<00:33:24.480><c> I</c><00:33:24.660><c> came</c><00:33:24.839><c> back</c><00:33:25.099><c> and</c><00:33:25.220><c> I</c><00:33:25.299><c> didn't</c><00:33:25.440><c> have</c><00:33:25.599><c> a</c><00:33:25.740><c> job.</c>

00:33:26.079 --> 00:33:28.619
And<00:33:26.180><c> so</c><00:33:26.299><c> I</c><00:33:26.539><c> came</c><00:33:26.720><c> back</c><00:33:26.940><c> and</c><00:33:27.059><c> found</c><00:33:27.200><c> another</c><00:33:27.480><c> job</c><00:33:27.859><c> in</c><00:33:28.099><c> a</c><00:33:28.220><c> restaurant.</c>

00:33:28.980 --> 00:33:30.619
Because<00:33:29.180><c> in</c><00:33:29.539><c> the</c><00:33:29.759><c> restaurant</c><00:33:29.980><c> industry,</c><00:33:30.220><c> you</c><00:33:30.319><c> can</c><00:33:30.500><c> make</c>

00:33:30.619 --> 00:33:31.400
money<00:33:30.839><c> pretty</c><00:33:31.160><c> quickly.</c>

00:33:31.440 --> 00:33:32.920
You<00:33:31.500><c> can</c><00:33:31.660><c> make</c><00:33:31.779><c> cash</c><00:33:32.079><c> money</c><00:33:32.400><c> pretty</c><00:33:32.680><c> quickly.</c>

00:33:33.380 --> 00:33:38.299
So<00:33:33.539><c> I</c><00:33:33.640><c> found</c><00:33:33.940><c> this</c><00:33:34.299><c> verse,</c><00:33:35.119><c> but</c><00:33:35.319><c> this</c><00:33:35.619><c> was</c><00:33:35.839><c> probably</c><00:33:36.440><c> early</c><00:33:37.519><c> December</c><00:33:38.059><c> or</c>

00:33:38.299 --> 00:33:41.240
something<00:33:38.539><c> like</c><00:33:38.779><c> this,</c><00:33:39.380><c> about</c><00:33:39.619><c> nine,</c><00:33:40.220><c> nine,</c><00:33:40.599><c> ten</c><00:33:40.720><c> years</c><00:33:40.920><c> ago.</c>

00:33:41.720 --> 00:33:45.160
And<00:33:42.000><c> I</c><00:33:43.619><c> was</c><00:33:43.759><c> going</c><00:33:43.859><c> to</c><00:33:43.940><c> wait</c><00:33:44.059><c> until</c><00:33:44.259><c> January</c><00:33:44.559><c> 1st</c><00:33:44.940><c> to</c><00:33:44.980><c> start</c>

00:33:45.160 --> 00:33:45.839
reading<00:33:45.319><c> the</c><00:33:45.539><c> Bible.</c>

00:33:45.839 --> 00:33:47.619
And<00:33:46.420><c> I</c><00:33:46.579><c> said,</c><00:33:46.839><c> well,</c><00:33:46.859><c> what's</c><00:33:47.119><c> the</c><00:33:47.160><c> point</c><00:33:47.319><c> of</c><00:33:47.480><c> that?</c>

00:33:47.660 --> 00:33:48.599
You<00:33:47.740><c> know,</c><00:33:47.839><c> it's</c><00:33:47.920><c> just</c><00:33:48.119><c> another</c><00:33:48.319><c> day.</c>

00:33:48.599 --> 00:33:50.799
You<00:33:48.660><c> don't</c><00:33:48.839><c> need</c><00:33:48.980><c> New</c><00:33:49.200><c> Year's</c><00:33:49.480><c> Day</c><00:33:49.640><c> to</c><00:33:49.900><c> begin</c><00:33:50.140><c> reading</c><00:33:50.460><c> the</c><00:33:50.619><c> Bible.</c>

00:33:51.140 --> 00:33:54.019
So<00:33:51.339><c> it</c><00:33:51.599><c> was</c><00:33:51.839><c> mid</c><00:33:52.259><c>-December,</c><00:33:52.700><c> early</c><00:33:52.960><c> December,</c><00:33:53.220><c> and</c><00:33:53.299><c> I</c><00:33:53.359><c> was</c><00:33:53.480><c> reading</c><00:33:53.599><c> the</c><00:33:53.799><c> Bible.</c>

00:33:54.460 --> 00:33:57.779
And<00:33:54.460><c> somehow</c><00:33:54.839><c> I</c><00:33:54.960><c> came</c><00:33:55.140><c> upon</c><00:33:55.420><c> this</c><00:33:55.660><c> verse,</c><00:33:56.000><c> Hebrews</c><00:33:56.339><c> 13</c><00:33:56.819><c> verse</c><00:33:57.079><c> 6.</c>

00:33:58.279 --> 00:34:01.740
And<00:33:58.319><c> so</c><00:33:59.740><c> I</c><00:34:00.099><c> was</c><00:34:00.279><c> writing</c><00:34:00.500><c> little</c><00:34:00.680><c> things</c><00:34:00.900><c> down</c><00:34:01.160><c> in</c><00:34:01.319><c> a</c><00:34:01.420><c> little</c>

00:34:01.740 --> 00:34:02.859
notebook<00:34:02.099><c> or</c><00:34:02.259><c> that</c><00:34:02.440><c> sort</c><00:34:02.559><c> of</c><00:34:02.680><c> thing.</c>

00:34:03.079 --> 00:34:04.259
And<00:34:03.279><c> I</c><00:34:03.359><c> had</c><00:34:03.480><c> this</c><00:34:03.680><c> verse</c><00:34:03.819><c> in</c><00:34:03.960><c> my</c><00:34:04.099><c> mind.</c>

00:34:04.440 --> 00:34:06.180
And<00:34:04.559><c> I'm</c><00:34:04.859><c> terrible</c><00:34:05.240><c> at</c><00:34:05.460><c> memorizing</c><00:34:05.859><c> verses.</c>

00:34:06.200 --> 00:34:08.880
But<00:34:06.359><c> for</c><00:34:06.579><c> whatever</c><00:34:06.759><c> reason,</c><00:34:07.640><c> this</c><00:34:07.880><c> one</c><00:34:08.139><c> was</c><00:34:08.380><c> able</c><00:34:08.539><c> to</c><00:34:08.780><c> stick</c>

00:34:08.880 --> 00:34:09.360
with<00:34:09.059><c> me.</c>

00:34:09.460 --> 00:34:10.860
And<00:34:09.679><c> so</c><00:34:09.780><c> I</c><00:34:09.860><c> was</c><00:34:10.019><c> at</c><00:34:10.139><c> this</c><00:34:10.360><c> restaurant.</c>

00:34:11.179 --> 00:34:13.179
And<00:34:11.460><c> I</c><00:34:11.719><c> was</c><00:34:11.840><c> just</c><00:34:12.039><c> trying</c><00:34:12.139><c> to</c><00:34:12.320><c> put</c><00:34:12.400><c> my</c><00:34:12.559><c> head</c><00:34:12.639><c> down</c><00:34:12.880><c> and</c><00:34:13.039><c> work.</c>

00:34:13.199 --> 00:34:14.960
I<00:34:13.320><c> wasn't</c><00:34:13.519><c> interested</c><00:34:13.860><c> in</c><00:34:13.960><c> really</c><00:34:14.139><c> making</c><00:34:14.400><c> friends</c><00:34:14.699><c> there.</c>

00:34:14.960 --> 00:34:16.820
I<00:34:15.059><c> wasn't</c><00:34:15.239><c> interested</c><00:34:15.639><c> in</c><00:34:15.780><c> doing</c><00:34:15.960><c> anything</c><00:34:16.219><c> else</c><00:34:16.519><c> other</c><00:34:16.699><c> than</c>

00:34:16.820 --> 00:34:19.579
just<00:34:17.280><c> make</c><00:34:17.440><c> money</c><00:34:17.840><c> and</c><00:34:18.039><c> have</c><00:34:18.139><c> my</c><00:34:18.380><c> life</c><00:34:18.699><c> outside</c><00:34:19.179><c> of</c><00:34:19.360><c> work,</c>

00:34:19.800 --> 00:34:23.599
because<00:34:20.119><c> the</c><00:34:20.300><c> last</c><00:34:20.460><c> place</c><00:34:20.679><c> I</c><00:34:20.900><c> worked</c><00:34:21.059><c> at,</c><00:34:22.079><c> I</c><00:34:22.119><c> realized</c><00:34:22.480><c> that</c>

00:34:23.599 --> 00:34:25.519
work<00:34:23.780><c> friends</c><00:34:24.000><c> are</c><00:34:24.179><c> not</c><00:34:24.280><c> always</c><00:34:24.460><c> the</c><00:34:24.639><c> best</c><00:34:24.820><c> friends.</c>

00:34:27.519 --> 00:34:31.199
So<00:34:27.960><c> the</c><00:34:28.400><c> harder</c><00:34:28.980><c> I</c><00:34:29.300><c> worked,</c><00:34:29.599><c> the</c><00:34:29.739><c> more</c><00:34:29.880><c> people</c><00:34:30.119><c> saw</c><00:34:30.320><c> me</c><00:34:30.519><c> as</c><00:34:30.639><c> this</c><00:34:30.860><c> person</c><00:34:31.059><c> who</c>

00:34:31.199 --> 00:34:32.219
was<00:34:31.360><c> like</c><00:34:31.579><c> a</c><00:34:31.800><c> goody</c><00:34:32.019><c>-goody,</c>

00:34:32.559 --> 00:34:34.840
the<00:34:32.820><c> person</c><00:34:33.119><c> who</c><00:34:33.300><c> was</c><00:34:33.500><c> like</c><00:34:33.739><c> making</c><00:34:34.019><c> them</c><00:34:34.239><c> look</c><00:34:34.460><c> bad.</c>

00:34:35.139 --> 00:34:37.480
And<00:34:35.400><c> that</c><00:34:35.800><c> is</c><00:34:36.059><c> probably</c><00:34:36.260><c> something</c><00:34:36.500><c> you</c><00:34:36.679><c> may</c><00:34:36.780><c> end</c><00:34:36.880><c> up</c><00:34:37.059><c> finding</c>

00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:41.380
will<00:34:37.860><c> be</c><00:34:38.139><c> your</c><00:34:38.699><c> situation</c><00:34:39.300><c> when</c><00:34:39.699><c> you</c><00:34:40.219><c> do</c><00:34:40.420><c> your</c><00:34:40.639><c> work</c><00:34:40.800><c> unto</c><00:34:41.019><c> the</c><00:34:41.179><c> Lord.</c>

00:34:41.380 --> 00:34:44.119
And<00:34:41.579><c> that</c><00:34:41.699><c> was</c><00:34:41.900><c> kind</c><00:34:42.079><c> of</c><00:34:42.159><c> the</c><00:34:42.280><c> idea</c><00:34:42.480><c> that</c><00:34:42.639><c> was</c><00:34:42.900><c> in</c><00:34:43.440><c> my</c><00:34:43.719><c> mind,</c><00:34:43.900><c> although</c><00:34:44.079><c> I</c>

00:34:44.119 --> 00:34:45.659
didn't<00:34:44.300><c> know</c><00:34:44.480><c> the</c><00:34:44.659><c> verse</c><00:34:44.860><c> at</c><00:34:45.059><c> the</c><00:34:45.219><c> time.</c>

00:55:34.059 --> 00:55:36.139
And<00:55:34.300><c> that's</c><00:55:34.579><c> the</c><00:55:34.820><c> extent</c><00:55:35.119><c> of</c><00:55:35.320><c> things.</c>

00:55:47.300 --> 00:55:49.699
and<00:55:47.599><c> we</c><00:55:47.780><c> come</c><00:55:47.960><c> back</c><00:55:48.219><c> and</c><00:55:48.440><c> have</c><00:55:48.719><c> some</c><00:55:48.960><c> supper.</c>

00:55:49.719 --> 00:55:53.440
And<00:55:49.920><c> just</c><00:55:50.119><c> as</c><00:55:50.420><c> it's</c><00:55:50.840><c> night's</c><00:55:51.179><c> falling,</c><00:55:51.599><c> we</c><00:55:52.239><c> go</c><00:55:52.380><c> by</c><00:55:52.500><c> his</c><00:55:52.719><c> campsite.</c>

00:55:54.179 --> 00:55:57.199
And<00:55:54.619><c> that's</c><00:55:54.840><c> a</c><00:55:54.960><c> really</c><00:55:55.079><c> unique,</c><00:55:55.639><c> really</c><00:55:56.019><c> unique</c><00:55:56.239><c> situation.</c>

00:55:57.460 --> 00:55:58.820
So<00:55:57.460><c> obviously,</c><00:55:58.340><c> one</c><00:55:58.380><c> of</c><00:55:58.559><c> these</c><00:55:58.699><c> things,</c>

00:55:59.280 --> 00:56:01.239

00:56:02.920 --> 00:56:03.960
is<00:56:03.159><c> the</c><00:56:03.260><c> idea</c><00:56:03.500><c> of</c><00:56:03.699><c> humility.</c>

00:56:04.280 --> 00:56:06.519
Without<00:56:04.500><c> any</c><00:56:04.800><c> prompting,</c><00:56:05.119><c> without</c><00:56:05.260><c> me</c><00:56:05.539><c> saying</c><00:56:05.679><c> a</c><00:56:05.900><c> word</c><00:56:06.019><c> about</c><00:56:06.219><c> humility,</c>

00:56:06.599 --> 00:56:08.420

00:56:08.420 --> 00:56:09.980
and<00:56:08.800><c> how</c><00:56:09.039><c> important</c><00:56:09.219><c> humility</c><00:56:09.599><c> is</c>

00:56:09.980 --> 00:56:12.000
and<00:56:10.420><c> how</c><00:56:10.900><c> pride</c><00:56:11.179><c> just</c><00:56:11.480><c> destroys</c><00:56:11.699><c> everything.</c>

00:56:12.039 --> 00:56:13.599
And<00:56:12.119><c> I'm</c><00:56:12.179><c> thinking,</c><00:56:12.460><c> man,</c><00:56:12.599><c> you're</c><00:56:12.840><c> speaking</c><00:56:13.059><c> to</c><00:56:13.219><c> my</c><00:56:13.440><c> heart.</c>

00:56:14.079 --> 00:56:16.739

You<00:57:43.280><c> have</c><00:57:43.400><c> to</c><00:57:43.840><c> call</c><00:57:44.219><c> that</c><00:57:44.519><c> day</c><00:57:44.780><c> and</c><00:57:45.000><c> get</c><00:57:45.139><c> a</c><00:57:45.340><c> campsite.</c>

00:57:46.059 --> 00:57:48.739
So<00:57:46.280><c> you</c><00:57:46.500><c> can</c><00:57:46.679><c> only</c><00:57:46.820><c> imagine</c><00:57:47.139><c> the</c><00:57:47.400><c> angels</c><00:57:47.559><c> working</c><00:57:47.900><c> out</c><00:57:48.099><c> this</c><00:57:48.219><c> situation</c>

00:57:57.019 --> 00:57:58.960
to<00:57:57.119><c> have</c><00:57:57.239><c> this</c><00:57:57.900><c> encouraging</c><00:57:58.280><c> conversation.</c>

00:57:59.300 --> 00:58:01.000
So<00:57:59.460><c> I</c><00:57:59.599><c> started</c><00:57:59.719><c> reading</c><00:58:00.000><c> some</c><00:58:00.219><c> of</c><00:58:00.300><c> this</c><00:58:00.440><c> book</c><00:58:00.599><c> that</c><00:58:00.739><c> he</c><00:58:00.880><c> had</c>

00:58:01.000 --> 00:58:01.260
given<00:58:01.099><c> me,</c>

00:58:01.260 --> 00:58:03.099
which<00:58:01.420><c> I</c><00:58:01.619><c> thought</c><00:58:01.719><c> was</c><00:58:01.960><c> pretty</c><00:58:02.159><c> interesting.</c>

00:58:03.139 --> 00:58:06.340
It's<00:58:03.280><c> called,</c><00:58:04.539><c> this</c><00:58:04.900><c> is</c><00:58:05.079><c> a</c><00:58:05.099><c> whole</c><00:58:05.260><c> way</c><00:58:05.400><c> off</c><00:58:05.599><c> topic,</c>

00:58:06.699 --> 00:58:09.239
but<00:58:07.059><c> it</c><00:58:07.099><c> was</c><00:58:07.360><c> called</c><00:58:07.679><c> But</c><00:58:08.019><c> You</c><00:58:08.119><c> Have</c><00:58:08.320><c> Come</c><00:58:08.519><c> Unto</c><00:58:08.659><c> Mount</c><00:58:08.940><c> Zion.</c>

00:58:09.340 --> 00:58:10.559
That's<00:58:09.679><c> the</c><00:58:10.000><c> name</c><00:58:10.119><c> of</c><00:58:10.239><c> the</c><00:58:10.360><c> book.</c>

00:58:10.860 --> 00:58:13.260
And<00:58:11.019><c> it</c><00:58:11.099><c> was</c><00:58:11.280><c> a</c><00:58:11.400><c> guy</c><00:58:11.559><c> who</c><00:58:11.760><c> was</c><00:58:11.940><c> Baptist</c><00:58:12.280><c> that</c><00:58:12.460><c> had</c><00:58:12.619><c> a</c><00:58:12.679><c> falling</c><00:58:12.840><c> out</c><00:58:13.019><c> with</c><00:58:13.139><c> a</c>

Baptist<00:58:13.579><c> faith.</c>

00:58:13.920 --> 00:58:15.699
He<00:58:14.000><c> was</c><00:58:14.199><c> born</c><00:58:14.360><c> in</c><00:58:14.599><c> Scotland</c><00:58:14.860><c> in</c><00:58:15.079><c> 1888.</c>

00:58:15.980 --> 00:58:20.699
And<00:58:16.159><c> he</c><00:58:16.280><c> preached</c><00:58:16.519><c> in</c><00:58:16.719><c> London</c><00:58:17.119><c> and</c><00:58:17.980><c> he</c><00:58:18.940><c> kind</c><00:58:19.119><c> of</c><00:58:19.659><c> departed</c><00:58:19.960><c> from</c><00:58:20.199><c> the</c><00:58:20.380><c> Baptist.</c>

00:58:20.880 --> 00:58:22.960
But<00:58:21.019><c> he</c><00:58:21.199><c> still</c><00:58:21.619><c> was</c><00:58:21.860><c> obviously</c><00:58:22.059><c> very</c><00:58:22.320><c> interested</c><00:58:22.619><c> in</c><00:58:22.800><c> God</c>

00:58:22.960 --> 00:58:25.239
and<00:58:23.320><c> sharing</c><00:58:23.500><c> God's</c><00:58:24.280><c> hope</c><00:58:24.440><c> with</c><00:58:24.619><c> other</c><00:58:24.800><c> people.</c>

00:58:25.719 --> 00:58:27.840
And<00:58:25.860><c> so</c><00:58:26.019><c> I</c><00:58:26.280><c> just</c><00:58:26.500><c> read</c><00:58:26.619><c> the</c><00:58:26.900><c> preface</c><00:58:27.079><c> that</c><00:58:27.340><c> night</c><00:58:27.420><c> in</c><00:58:27.559><c> my</c><00:58:27.739><c> tent</c>

00:58:27.840 --> 00:58:29.139

00:58:29.400 --> 00:58:32.139
And<00:58:29.400><c> usually</c><00:58:29.860><c> a</c><00:58:30.400><c> preface</c><00:58:30.659><c> will</c><00:58:30.880><c> say</c><00:58:31.159><c> the</c><00:58:31.559><c> author's</c><00:58:31.980><c> name,</c>

00:58:32.239 --> 00:58:34.980
like<00:58:32.380><c> Dennis</c><00:58:32.659><c> Gillette</c><00:58:33.099><c> or</c><00:58:33.320><c> Harry</c><00:58:33.639><c> Tennant</c><00:58:33.980><c> or</c><00:58:34.099><c> whoever</c><00:58:34.360><c> wrote</c><00:58:34.559><c> the</c><00:58:34.780><c> book.</c>

00:58:35.460 --> 00:58:37.099
It<00:58:35.659><c> kind</c><00:58:35.739><c> of</c><00:58:35.800><c> gives</c><00:58:35.880><c> an</c><00:58:36.119><c> overview</c><00:58:36.440><c> of</c><00:58:36.539><c> what</c><00:58:36.699><c> the</c><00:58:36.800><c> book's</c><00:58:37.019><c> going</c>

to<00:58:37.159><c> be</c><00:58:37.300><c> about.</c>

00:58:37.960 --> 00:58:40.280
So<00:58:38.119><c> I</c><00:58:38.280><c> read</c><00:58:38.380><c> the</c><00:58:38.619><c> preface</c><00:58:38.860><c> and</c><00:58:39.019><c> instead</c><00:58:39.239><c> of</c><00:58:39.360><c> the</c><00:58:39.539><c> author's</c><00:58:39.880><c> name</c><00:58:40.039><c> T.</c>

00:58:40.380 --> 00:58:41.320
Austin<00:58:40.639><c> Sparks,</c>

00:58:41.699 --> 00:58:43.539
it<00:58:42.019><c> says,</c><00:58:42.559><c> your</c><00:58:42.559><c> brethren</c><00:58:42.880><c> in</c><00:58:43.179><c> Christ.</c>

00:58:43.800 --> 00:58:45.800
I'm<00:58:44.000><c> starting</c><00:58:44.159><c> to</c><00:58:44.340><c> freak</c><00:58:44.500><c> out</c><00:58:44.679><c> in</c><00:58:44.780><c> my</c><00:58:44.940><c> tent</c><00:58:45.079><c> going,</c><00:58:45.320><c> who</c><00:58:45.519><c> is</c>

00:58:45.800 --> 00:58:46.280
this<00:58:46.039><c> guy?</c>

00:58:46.679 --> 00:58:48.219
This<00:58:47.059><c> is</c><00:58:47.539><c> really</c><00:58:47.820><c> strange.</c>

00:58:48.280 --> 00:58:50.420
On<00:58:48.440><c> all</c><00:58:48.699><c> these</c><00:58:48.920><c> levels,</c><00:58:49.139><c> there's</c><00:58:49.420><c> all</c><00:58:49.619><c> these</c><00:58:49.800><c> things</c><00:58:49.960><c> happening.</c>

00:58:50.420 --> 00:58:53.599
And<00:58:50.980><c> it</c><00:58:51.420><c> all</c><00:58:51.760><c> started</c><00:58:51.960><c> by</c><00:58:52.340><c> simply</c><00:58:52.659><c> saying,</c><00:58:53.320><c> well,</c>

00:58:53.739 --> 00:58:57.179
I<00:58:53.760><c> think</c><00:58:53.900><c> we're</c><00:58:54.059><c> going</c><00:58:54.119><c> to</c><00:58:54.199><c> go</c><00:58:54.400><c> back</c><00:58:54.579><c> to</c><00:58:54.739><c> Michigan</c><00:58:55.199><c> after</c><00:58:55.840><c> church</c><00:58:56.440><c> on</c>

00:58:57.179 --> 00:58:58.099
Sunday<00:58:57.420><c> morning.</c>

00:58:58.539 --> 00:59:01.519
It<00:58:58.639><c> was</c><00:58:58.980><c> just</c><00:58:59.380><c> a</c><00:58:59.599><c> door</c><00:58:59.760><c> open</c><00:59:00.039><c> just</c><00:59:00.320><c> to</c><00:59:00.579><c> crack</c><00:59:00.800><c> just</c><00:59:01.059><c> that</c><00:59:01.360><c> much.</c>

00:59:01.539 --> 00:59:05.780
And<00:59:01.659><c> that's</c><00:59:01.820><c> what</c><00:59:01.960><c> God</c><00:59:02.099><c> can</c><00:59:02.320><c> do</c><00:59:02.599><c> with</c><00:59:03.219><c> just</c><00:59:04.559><c> sharing</c><00:59:05.199><c> a</c><00:59:05.599><c> little</c>

00:59:05.780 --> 00:59:07.760
bit<00:59:05.960><c> about</c><00:59:06.460><c> what</c><00:59:06.739><c> you're</c><00:59:07.019><c> about.</c>

00:59:08.659 --> 00:59:11.699
So<00:59:09.179><c> I</c><00:59:09.699><c> think</c><00:59:09.840><c> there</c><00:59:10.039><c> are</c><00:59:10.199><c> some</c><00:59:10.460><c> extraordinary</c><00:59:11.079><c> conversations</c>

00:59:11.699 --> 00:59:13.260
that<00:59:11.980><c> are</c><00:59:12.239><c> waiting</c><00:59:12.420><c> to</c><00:59:12.619><c> be</c><00:59:12.800><c> had</c>

00:59:13.260 --> 00:59:15.360
if<00:59:13.800><c> you're</c><00:59:14.019><c> willing</c><00:59:14.260><c> to</c><00:59:14.500><c> put</c><00:59:14.719><c> it</c><00:59:14.860><c> out</c><00:59:15.000><c> there.</c>

00:59:15.400 --> 00:59:19.500
And<00:59:15.579><c> I</c><00:59:15.599><c> guess</c><00:59:15.820><c> that's</c><00:59:15.980><c> why</c><00:59:16.260><c> the</c><00:59:16.420><c> Lord</c><00:59:16.960><c> likens</c><00:59:17.340><c> preaching</c><00:59:18.280><c> to</c><00:59:19.199><c> fishing,</c>

00:59:19.500 --> 00:59:22.500
the<00:59:19.800><c> idea</c><00:59:20.099><c> of</c><00:59:20.519><c> being</c><00:59:21.000><c> a</c><00:59:21.219><c> fisher</c><00:59:21.360><c> of</c><00:59:21.539><c> men.</c>

00:59:23.599 --> 00:59:25.800
I<00:59:23.599><c> think</c><00:59:23.719><c> it's</c><00:59:24.019><c> incredibly</c><00:59:24.380><c> encouraging</c><00:59:24.780><c> and</c><00:59:25.000><c> incredibly</c><00:59:25.340><c> helpful,</c><00:59:25.679><c> at</c>

00:59:25.800 --> 00:59:26.460
least<00:59:25.980><c> for</c><00:59:26.159><c> me.</c>

00:59:26.820 --> 00:59:29.019
If<00:59:26.900><c> you</c><00:59:27.059><c> were</c><00:59:27.119><c> to</c><00:59:27.139><c> come</c><00:59:27.280><c> up</c><00:59:27.440><c> to</c><00:59:27.539><c> me</c><00:59:27.760><c> and</c><00:59:27.880><c> share</c><00:59:28.239><c> some</c><00:59:28.719><c> story</c>

00:59:29.019 --> 00:59:29.460
like<00:59:29.280><c> this</c>

00:59:29.460 --> 00:59:31.320
