1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,280
You guys having fun this 
morning? 

2
00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:06,640
It's cool, It's funny. 
MM was just saying earlier that 

3
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:08,800
it's funny how prayers get 
answered. 

4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,120
He's like, man, I, I really want
to see more people come to the 

5
00:00:12,120 --> 00:00:14,400
front and, and worship God 
passionately. 

6
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,280
And I suppose God has to cut the
electricity in order to make 

7
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,920
that happen. 
So it's pretty exciting. 

8
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:25,760
So hey, we, we've been talking a
lot about just the mystery of 

9
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:29,480
God, like just be be able to 
come in on a Sunday morning 

10
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,800
life, grieve your own times with
the Lord and just experience 

11
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,920
more of that mystery, the more 
of the glory of God and. 

12
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,520
I think we got. 
A just a taste of that this 

13
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,080
morning. 
Is that better? 

14
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:41,800
I don't. 
I don't. 

15
00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:46,240
I'm so used to having the. 
The one that fits on my head is 

16
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,480
OK, so is. 
This better right here. 

17
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:50,600
This is good. 
OK. 

18
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,280
Awesome. 
My wife's telling me this is the

19
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:53,600
better way to go. 
All right. 

20
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,280
Man, so we've been just 
experiencing the the glory of 

21
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,720
God. 
Just recently, just even in our 

22
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,480
services and I just I've just 
been praying more of that that 

23
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,080
we would not take advantage of, 
of the fact that we have an 

24
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,760
opportunity to come together to 
experience God here, that we 

25
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,800
don't just come in routine And 
sometimes God physically has to 

26
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,160
change some things up in order 
to make that happen and that we 

27
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,880
wouldn't come just as OK, this 
is where we're we're coming in 

28
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,560
routine. 
Already got a text this morning.

29
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,360
Stayed the obvious, right? 
The lights not working, 

30
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,360
everything's not working. 
And you know what? 

31
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:28,920
No problem. 
And in fact. 

32
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:34,160
The late in fact yesterday when 
Alex came over, he's he's 

33
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,320
basically Eli's piano T2, but he
he came over and Alex is the 

34
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:40,320
one. 
Placed here in the keys and he, 

35
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,120
you know, he just, he's like, 
man, I think we, you know, we're

36
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:44,800
just talking about, it's funny. 
It's kind of comical. 

37
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,320
Like we're talking about LED 
lights and stuff, which I'm not 

38
00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:50,440
for, you know, like I'm not like
big flash, all that kind of 

39
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,000
stuff. 
That's just not my ideal. 

40
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,240
I'm fine with it. 
But I was like, hey, if we focus

41
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,360
on character and making sure 
people get what's important 

42
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,480
around here, you can have all 
the lights in the world. 

43
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,040
OK, You got whatever you want. 
Maybe not the smoke machines. 

44
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,240
I'm not really into that. 
Not gonna say that's a good step

45
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,320
too far, too far. 
But it's just funny yesterday, 

46
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,120
Like, wow, we're gonna go big. 
We're gonna, you know, they're 

47
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:13,880
just all. 
Talking. 

48
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,160
I'm just like kind of thinking 
I'm like, I don't know, We'll 

49
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,240
see what happens, you know? 
And I just, the Lord knows how 

50
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,360
to humble us pretty quickly as 
you come into the room, it's 

51
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,000
like, hey. 
We don't need any of that stuff.

52
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,960
It really doesn't matter. 
So we're just going to do it old

53
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:28,880
school, right? 
I mean, kind of old school in a 

54
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,280
way. 
But like Edson came up to me. 

55
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,640
He's like, do you know that 
George Whitfield, he spoke to 

56
00:02:33,640 --> 00:02:35,640
30,000 people with no 
microphone. 

57
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,160
And Ben Franklin was one of the,
he was not even a believer. 

58
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,000
He testified to that. 
And so we might have to even do 

59
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,680
it halfway through. 
I don't know, seconds from now 

60
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,000
we'll have to do it. 
Just old school. 

61
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,040
Like really old school. 
No mic so but you can pray for. 

62
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,080
That I'm not, I don't know. 
I don't know if I'm George 

63
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,880
Driftfield so but go ahead and 
turn your. 

64
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,280
Bibles to John chapter 12. 
We've been in John chapter 12 

65
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,280
for the last three weeks now and
I was like, I've been wanting to

66
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,840
get into 13 and here's another 
Sunday where I'm like, Lord, 

67
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,160
you're not allowing me to go to 
chapter 13. 

68
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,120
And you'll see why, man, it's so
rich. 

69
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,360
The Bible is so good. 
And. 

70
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,640
Chapter 12 hopefully. 
Will be a blessing to you all. 

71
00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:21,240
But and the title of the message
is his patience incorrection 

72
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,520
leads us to transformation. 
OK, his his patience 

73
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,400
incorrection leads us to 
transformation, ultimately 

74
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,640
holiness and fruitfulness, which
we'll see in a second. 

75
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:37,200
So let's start reading from 
verses 27 to verse 50. 

76
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,200
All right. 
And then finally, next week we 

77
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:43,520
will be in 13, I hope. 
All right, so verse 27. 

78
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:48,480
Now my soul has become troubled,
and what shall I say, Father, 

79
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,600
save me from this hour. 
But for this purpose I came to 

80
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,760
this hour. 
Father, glorify your name. 

81
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,280
Then a voice came out of heaven.
I had both glorified it and 

82
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,200
we'll glorify it again. 
So the crowd of the people, 

83
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,120
proud of people who stood by and
heard it, were saying that it 

84
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,520
had thundered. 
And others were saying, it's an 

85
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,440
Angel has spoken to him. 
But Jesus answered and said, 

86
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,640
This voice has not come from my 
sake, but for your sakes. 

87
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,760
Now judgement is upon this 
world. 

88
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,880
Now the ruler of this world will
be cast out, and I, if I am 

89
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:25,400
lifted up from myself, if I am 
lifted up from the earth, will 

90
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,120
draw all men to myself. 
But he was saying this to 

91
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,960
indicate that kind of death by 
which he was to die. 

92
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,200
The crowd then answered him, We 
have heard out of the law that 

93
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:40,000
the Christ is to remain forever.
And how can you say the Son of 

94
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,680
man must be lifted up? 
Who is this Son of man? 

95
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,560
So Jesus said to him, for a 
little while longer, the light 

96
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,960
is among you, Walk while you 
have the light, so that darkness

97
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,520
will not overtake you. 
He who walks in darkness does 

98
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,040
not know where he goes while you
have the light. 

99
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,880
Believe in the light, so that 
you may become sons of the 

100
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,040
light. 
These things Jesus spoke, and he

101
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:02,680
went away and hid himself from 
them. 

102
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,160
But though he had performed so 
many signs before them, yet they

103
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,400
were not believing in Him. 
This was to fulfill the word of 

104
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,360
Isaiah the prophet, which he 
spoke. 

105
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:15,040
Lord, who has believed our 
report, and to whom the arm of 

106
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,240
the Lord has been revealed. 
For this reason they could not 

107
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,760
believe. 
For Isaiah had said, said again,

108
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,120
He has blinded their eyes, and 
He had hardened their heart, so 

109
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,560
that they would not see with 
their eyes and perceive with 

110
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,560
their heart, and be converted as
I heal them. 

111
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,720
These things Isaiah said, 
because he saw the glory, saw 

112
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,360
His glory, and He spoke of Him. 
Nevertheless, many even of the 

113
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,280
rulers believed in Him, but 
because of the Pharisees, they 

114
00:05:40,280 --> 00:05:43,240
were not confessing him for fear
that they would be put out of 

115
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,400
the synagogue. 
For they love the approval of 

116
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,320
men rather than the approval of 
God. 

117
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:49,600
That'll just preach right there,
right? 

118
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,800
And Jesus cried out and said, he
who believes in me does not 

119
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,480
believe in me, but in him who 
sent me. 

120
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,840
And he who sees me, the one who 
sent me, I have. 

121
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,480
I have come as light into the 
world so that everyone who 

122
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,560
believes in me will not remain 
in darkness. 

123
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,400
If anyone hears my sayings and 
does not keep them, I do not 

124
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,520
judge him, for I did not come to
judge the world, but to save the

125
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,000
world. 
He who rejects me and does not 

126
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,640
receive my sayings as the one 
who judges him, the word I spoke

127
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,880
is what will judge him at the 
last day. 

128
00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:26,280
For I did not speak on my own 
initiative, But the Father 

129
00:06:26,280 --> 00:06:30,800
himself who sent me has given me
a commandment as to what to say 

130
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,600
and what and what to speak. 
I know that this is His 

131
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,360
commandment. 
It's eternal life. 

132
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,880
Therefore, the things I speak, I
speak just as the Father has 

133
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,560
told me. 
All right, guys. 

134
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,240
Well, I have a few. 
Points here this morning and 

135
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,640
then we'll we'll land and we'll 
close but one of the things that

136
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,680
I want to point out to you first
is that Jesus was troubled I. 

137
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,120
Don't know if you saw. 
That in verse 27 it says my soul

138
00:06:55,280 --> 00:06:57,600
is troubled. 
Just pause for a second. 

139
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,680
Jesus one time said this. 
Do not be troubled, right? 

140
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,840
In fact, in a couple of a couple
of chapters. 

141
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,880
Later he's going to say, do not 
be troubled. 

142
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,480
Yet we know Jesus is not a 
hypocrite. 

143
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,440
He's saying I, I am troubled and
this trouble. 

144
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:18,520
This means mental horror. 
It also means disturbed. 

145
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:19,960
I looked up. 
The word it just means 

146
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,280
unsettling. 
It's a harassing thoughts if 

147
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:23,120
you're I don't know if you've 
ever. 

148
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,120
Felt that way. 
But Jesus is feeling this. 

149
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,040
He's feeling harassed because 
what he's about to do on the 

150
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:33,240
cross, what he's about to do. 
You know, Jesus was not numbed 

151
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:34,240
out. 
He didn't go. 

152
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,080
I just went to the dentist this 
week. 

153
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,160
I had to get a crown. 
If you've ever got one of those 

154
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:42,040
things, it is brutal, right? 
Or a root canal, hate them. 

155
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:43,960
You know, like, I don't know if 
everyone's ever got one of 

156
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,040
those. 
It is not fun. 

157
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,960
And I was thinking about this. 
I was thinking that, you know, 

158
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,760
if you're totally numb, you're 
not going to be able to feel 

159
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,680
anything. 
The idea is if you've ever 

160
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:59,280
gotten a crown before, sometimes
you need a root canal and 

161
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,760
sometimes you don't. 
But if you're numb, if you don't

162
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,200
feel any pain, you're not 
necessarily feeling that the 

163
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,480
root dying. 
And if the, if the, if the nerve

164
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,520
dies or the root dies, then you 
can get infected. 

165
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,720
And if you have no pain, you 
could actually have worse 

166
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,240
problems, right? 
So Jesus, he's not numbed. 

167
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:21,000
He, he did not numb out. 
He felt all the pain and the, 

168
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,080
the word trouble means a 
harassing thought. 

169
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,680
He had all these harassing 
thoughts, knowing what's going 

170
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,640
to happen to him going to the 
cross. 

171
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,720
And so I love the fact that when
Jesus says he's a high priest 

172
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,159
and he's be, he's able to 
identify with everyone in the 

173
00:08:35,159 --> 00:08:36,640
room. 
He's able to identify what it 

174
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,080
means to actually walk into this
life. 

175
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,520
He didn't numb out. 
So many of us numb out, right? 

176
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,320
Like maybe physically, yes, all 
right, we go to the dentist. 

177
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,040
That's a good numb out. 
By the way, I'm thankful for 

178
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,800
lidocaine. 
I don't know about you but but 

179
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,760
if we just numbed out and we 
didn't feel any pain, the pain 

180
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,400
is is an indicator something 
else is wrong. 

181
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,120
Right. 
And I was thinking about that 

182
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,160
like it is easy just to numb out
and just kind of go throughout. 

183
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,520
Life but that wasn't Jesus's 
plan, right? 

184
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:10,360
He felt everything and just 
think about this God hates sin 

185
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:12,800
like think about all the sin in 
your life. 

186
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:14,680
Think about everything that 
you've ever. 

187
00:09:14,680 --> 00:09:16,040
Done. 
Just you. 

188
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,360
Just you alone. 
Think about everything you've 

189
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:24,000
done, whether it's gossip, lust,
envy, anything, greed, whatever 

190
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,840
it is, that's just your sin. 
Now imagine all the sin of the 

191
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,840
world, all the people that he 
keeps going across, and he's 

192
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,960
thinking about all the people 
who have not yet been born that 

193
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,240
will sin. 
All the weight, the literally 

194
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:44,200
the weight of the world's sin 
and the people he's dying for is

195
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,560
on him. 
No one's ever felt that way. 

196
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,320
And the worst excruciating pain 
is that we'd be separated from 

197
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:55,080
God for a few days. 
He'd be separated from God. 

198
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,920
He just. 
He's he's being rejected, he 

199
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,360
experienced the full wrath of 
God, the fullness of it, not 

200
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:05,240
just like 99%. 
But the full wrath of God, 100% 

201
00:10:05,560 --> 00:10:07,960
of the wrath of God would come 
towards him and I love this when

202
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,840
he says, shall I say save me 
from this hour. 

203
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:15,080
Now, one of the reasons why I 
like using this translation in 

204
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,960
particular is is that when it 
says this in some translation, 

205
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,480
maybe yours and that's fine. 
I just saying that what shall I 

206
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,640
say, question mark? 
Father save me from this hour. 

207
00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:31,840
I like this version because he's
he's. 

208
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,160
He's, it's like hyperbole in a 
way. 

209
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:38,560
He's like saying, he's like 
saying, look, father, save me. 

210
00:10:38,560 --> 00:10:40,640
What should I say? 
Like save me from this hour? 

211
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:44,000
Like what do you want me to say?
I mean, This is why I came. 

212
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,600
Like I I, I'm, I don't save me 
from like, yes, I I I don't want

213
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,720
to go through the excruciation. 
Like how many know, like 

214
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:55,320
normally, like for, for all 
people, it is, it is normal to 

215
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,520
fear death. 
And as far as like not dying, 

216
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,920
what will happen to you? 
Because we know what will happen

217
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,600
to us. 
We know if we're in Christ, 

218
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,320
we're going to see Jesus and 
he's going to accept us into his

219
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,440
Kingdom because of what he did 
on the cross. 

220
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,280
But you're not afraid to die. 
You're just afraid how you're 

221
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:12,840
going to die. 
You're like, no one knows how 

222
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,600
you're going to die, right? 
I mean, you don't know and and 

223
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,120
maybe that's what keeps you up 
at night, right? 

224
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,120
And that's normal. 
That's like a normal fear. 

225
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,520
It's like, I don't know how I'm 
going to die. 

226
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,160
Oh, it's like just in my sleep, 
just kind of pass. 

227
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:24,200
Away to heaven. 
Right. 

228
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,520
So Jesus is saying he's like, 
what should I say? 

229
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,960
I'm like, I'm troubled. 
And most of us when we're 

230
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,720
troubled, we numb out, right? 
We just numb out. 

231
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,200
We're like, hey, quick, just, 
you know, we're talking about 

232
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,840
like, you know, grab your phone,
grab your phone just anytime 

233
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,000
you're in line, right? 
Just watch people. 

234
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:41,600
Just become an observer of 
people. 

235
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,520
Like when you watch people right
at the dentist's office, 

236
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,080
especially the dentist's office,
they're occupied more so because

237
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,760
they don't want to think about 
what's going to happen next or, 

238
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,640
or a doctor's office, right? 
You're just people numb out 

239
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,560
there just trying to distract 
themselves. 

240
00:11:58,680 --> 00:12:01,280
Literally, I walked in the 
dentist's office, everybody's on

241
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,560
their phone and I purposely 
didn't want to be on my phone. 

242
00:12:03,560 --> 00:12:05,520
I just wanted to watch. 
I was like, this is crazy. 

243
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,160
All right, Next, MM, is Mike in 
here? 

244
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:09,960
MMM's in here. 
All right. 

245
00:12:10,680 --> 00:12:13,200
He goes and it's you numb out, 
right? 

246
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,440
You just don't want to think 
about what's coming next. 

247
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:20,240
That's not Jesus. 
He fully accepted the weight of 

248
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:24,040
this and he's just saying, man, 
I'm troubled. 

249
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,200
I don't like what's coming, I 
don't like the pain and knowing 

250
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,960
that I'm going to be beaten 
right and all that. 

251
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,960
He went through the thorn thorns
on his. 

252
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,960
On his head and the, the 
mocking, the beating, people 

253
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,920
pulling out his beard, spitting 
on him, all these things. 

254
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,880
Like nobody likes that. 
That's not normal to like that. 

255
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:45,120
Jesus didn't like that, but it 
says here in Hebrews 12/3 he 

256
00:12:45,560 --> 00:12:49,120
despised the shame. 
He despised all this shame that 

257
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:53,480
was coming because he the shame 
was was the. 

258
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,720
Experiencing the wrath of God. 
Experiencing. 

259
00:12:55,880 --> 00:13:01,160
The creator of the universe. 
Can you imagine just going like 

260
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:02,320
if you go up to Tyler? 
Waltham. 

261
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,320
He's got the best beard in the 
entire house, right? 

262
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:11,880
And look at that thing. 
That is a beautiful thing. 

263
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,480
My wife here would say she's 
like, you can't grow a beard 

264
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,200
fully, so don't even you're not 
Tyler Walton. 

265
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:21,440
I'm like, I know. 
So you just go out and pull his 

266
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,000
beard, right? 
Just like yank his beard. 

267
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,280
He's not the creator of the 
universe. 

268
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,520
No problem, right? 
It's just a human being and he's

269
00:13:27,560 --> 00:13:31,680
a good guy. 
But but Can you imagine doing 

270
00:13:31,680 --> 00:13:35,280
that to the creator of the the 
one who created you? 

271
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,120
You're pulling and plucking, 
trying to pluck his. 

272
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,880
Beard It's ridiculous. 
He he despised the shame. 

273
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:46,200
He endured the cross with. 
Joy. 

274
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,560
I don't understand how that 
happens. 

275
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,040
I don't think he did that with a
big old smile on his face. 

276
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:55,120
But I think internally there was
a It wasn't happy, but he was 

277
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:56,600
joyful. 
How many know the difference? 

278
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,600
Deep inside, he was joyful, 
knowing that one day the lights 

279
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:06,120
are going to go off on Oviedo 
High and there's going to be 

280
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,720
still people singing about his 
death and resurrection. 

281
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:16,880
I don't think you caught that. 
See most of us. 

282
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:25,280
We're we're trained. 
Pain, numb pain numb out. 

283
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,720
And then maybe you're like, oh, 
I'm not a drug deal, I'm not a 

284
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,560
drug guy. 
OK fine, maybe you're ATV guy or

285
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:36,000
get this, maybe you just eat any
stress. 

286
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,520
Eaters in the room, right? 
You just eat. 

287
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,880
But I'm not saying, OK, you're 
this horrible sin, you know, but

288
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,760
I'm saying your pain is an 
indicator. 

289
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,560
It tells you something. 
It, it, it, it, it's an alarm. 

290
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,600
It's at the check engine light. 
It's like saying, hey, look, 

291
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,880
something's terribly wrong. 
And Jesus is saying what? 

292
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,480
Where did he go to? 
1st When something was terribly 

293
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,800
wrong, he went to his father. 
He said, What shall I say? 

294
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,760
Should I, should you save me 
from this hour? 

295
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,560
No. 
Jesus willingly gave his life. 

296
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:07,520
He wanted to. 
Why? 

297
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,200
Because He loves you. 
He loves you. 

298
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,520
Think about all the like all the
passages. 

299
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,760
That say right, he could have 
had 12 was it 12 like Matthew 

300
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,200
2653? 
He could have 12 legions of 

301
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,480
Angel save him no problem. 
He didn't need any help. 

302
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:24,480
He just could have had that 
right away. 

303
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,400
He could have had help. 
But he says look and and Luke 

304
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,200
and Matthew records this this 
famous prayer, right? 

305
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,560
Your will be done. 
Not my will, but your will be 

306
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,560
done. 
And then he says something 

307
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,320
interesting. 
Glorify your name. 

308
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,600
The whole purpose of all this He
says, glorify your name. 

309
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,160
And then a voice came out of 
heaven, right? 

310
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,360
When was the last time you heard
God's voice audibly? 

311
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,120
Anybody please see me by the 
side here. 

312
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:51,160
If that has happened to you, 
I'd. 

313
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:52,800
Love to talk to you about that 
experience. 

314
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,000
I'm not saying it can't happen. 
I'm just saying God can do 

315
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,920
anything, but I just that 
probably doesn't happen 

316
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,360
normally, but it did hear and 
it's funny. 

317
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,880
They, they're at that point 
people started saying, oh, maybe

318
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,240
it's an Angel or maybe that's 
Thunder, right? 

319
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,320
How many know God's always 
speaking, but it's man who is 

320
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:15,520
deaf. 
God's always speaking, always in

321
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,040
his word. 
He speaks this to our hearts, 

322
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:22,240
confirms things. 
This is his glory. 

323
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,880
How many guys ever thought about
even? 

324
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:29,080
This week that the glory of God 
is something that you actually 

325
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:33,160
pursue in your life. 
I want to see his glory. 

326
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:38,800
I think in a, in a very simple 
way, like I said, you know, we 

327
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,480
the lights went on all the 
stuff, you know, we rely so much

328
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,080
on technology, but sometimes 
it's refreshing. 

329
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:45,840
We don't have all the bells and 
whistles. 

330
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,440
Because people could just come 
up here and they could use their

331
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,800
voices. 
We got this experience a little 

332
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,360
bit of the glory of. 
God and I think think this is a 

333
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,840
coincidence at all. 
As I'm preaching this message, 

334
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,760
as I thought through it, even 
just in this moment, I was like,

335
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:05,720
man, the timing of God as this 
message will land, you'll see it

336
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,720
all come together. 
It's amazing how. 

337
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,119
Like we just need to pause 
sometimes and think through 

338
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,359
this. 
The savior of the world was 

339
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:18,160
troubled. 
That's why he could say to us, 

340
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:25,640
don't be troubled. 
The savior of the world could be

341
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,720
troubled. 
So that all of us can experience

342
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,000
his peace. 
If you have every, if you have 

343
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:37,280
any peace this week, knowing 
where you're going when you die,

344
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,640
it is because he was troubled. 
You never have to go through 

345
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:45,680
that excruciating, painful 
thought of you being beaten. 

346
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:51,440
For your sin, because it's 
already been done, so you get to

347
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,960
experience peace. 
But it's in our pain when we 

348
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,480
experience like, so you're like,
wait, hold on a second time up. 

349
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,520
I experienced a lot of pain this
week, emotional pain, pain for 

350
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,120
pain relationship, all that he 
said that's going to happen. 

351
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:09,000
But in the midst of that, if you
go to Him immediately and you go

352
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,160
to Him to find comfort, you can 
actually receive that piece 

353
00:18:12,360 --> 00:18:13,400
because He was. 
Troubled. 

354
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,960
There's a phrase, and it's not 
popular in modern 

355
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:18,880
evangelicalism. 
OK, now whoa. 

356
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,440
Big word. 
OK, but you thought that was 

357
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:22,760
big. 
This is a bigger word. 

358
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,840
OK, PSA. 
It just stands for penal 

359
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:31,120
substitutionary atonement. 
Edson's like, yes, finally we're

360
00:18:31,120 --> 00:18:33,080
getting to the big words. 
He likes those big words. 

361
00:18:34,120 --> 00:18:36,440
He's writing that in his notes 
for for this Week for a Life 

362
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,320
Group. 
OK quiz. 

363
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:44,000
What's PSA mean? 
OK, why is that important? 

364
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,120
A lot of modern preachers today.
Don't like that word. 

365
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,160
They don't like the idea that 
the Father was glorified and 

366
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,640
allowing his Son to go through 
all that so that you might be 

367
00:18:55,640 --> 00:19:01,720
saved. 
But I'm telling you, that's what

368
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:06,040
we believe here. 
There needed to be a substitute.

369
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:10,440
For you in order for you to find
life. 

370
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,720
And that's hard to see that like
if you've ever watched the 

371
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,680
Passion of the Christ, maybe you
just watched it out of 

372
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,000
curiosity. 
When you watch all that, he, 

373
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,120
you're, you understand. 
Substitute. 

374
00:19:22,120 --> 00:19:23,880
Like substitute teacher. 
Someone comes into the place. 

375
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,880
You're a teacher. 
And for the day there's a 

376
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,880
substitute when you're watching 
that movie, understand he is 

377
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:31,240
your substitute. 
You. 

378
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:35,040
Should have gone through all 
that and then died. 

379
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,640
Not just died and then gone to 
heaven after you got all the 

380
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,240
beatings and died, but going to 
hell for all of eternity. 

381
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,480
But instead, he went through all
that. 

382
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,880
That's why he's so troubled. 
He's like, I don't, he's like, I

383
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:53,200
don't want to go through this, 
this physical pain and emotion 

384
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,520
of being separated from God. 
But I'm doing this so that 

385
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,520
others might not be troubled for
all of eternity. 

386
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:04,720
We might have life. 
OK, The second thing, verse 31 

387
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,360
and 34 says this. 
Now judgement comes in the 

388
00:20:07,360 --> 00:20:10,000
world. 
So judgement comes on the world.

389
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,880
And then the ruler of this 
world, which we know is the 

390
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,800
enemy, will be casted out. 
And then he says, And if I'm 

391
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,000
lifted up, I'll draw all men to 
myself. 

392
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,960
So there's three victories on 
the cross, 3 victories, 

393
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,280
judgement to the worldly system 
yes. 

394
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,200
Who likes that? 
Who wants that? 

395
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,120
Who's like the justice meter? 
Who's got a high justice meter 

396
00:20:27,120 --> 00:20:29,800
like justice, You know like who 
has that? 

397
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,960
Well, that's good. 
That's a good thing. 

398
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,680
You know why that's good to have
a high justice meter? 

399
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:44,240
Because that's God, but he's. 
Also the Most Merciful, and so 

400
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,520
you see in this passage. 
There will be justice. 

401
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,640
If the enemy has tormented you, 
there will be justice. 

402
00:20:51,120 --> 00:20:54,400
That's good. 
I know not everybody might be 

403
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,200
awake this morning. 
That might be too much for 

404
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,840
everybody thinking like, wow, 
way to the future. 

405
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,600
But that is good for you and the
everyday. 

406
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:05,320
Why is that good for you? 
Because I don't know about you, 

407
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,000
but I'm tempted every week to 
sin, right? 

408
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:14,320
You know what's so glorious 
about heaven is that you'll 

409
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:18,760
never be tempted. 
One guy's excited about that. 

410
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,600
Awesome. 
I'm excited about that. 

411
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,240
How many thought of you? 
How many of you thought about 

412
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,480
heaven this week? 
Just one time. 

413
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,400
Just one time. 
How about two times? 

414
00:21:31,360 --> 00:21:35,080
345? 
OK, Usually the older you are, 

415
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:42,920
which is that section. 
They want heaven more than and 

416
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,920
they're not ashamed of it. 
Then those who are younger, like

417
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,320
the college, college like not I 
haven't thought about having in 

418
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:54,640
like 3 or 4 months, right? 
It's true. 

419
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:57,840
You think about it a little bit 
more. 

420
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,720
I thought about it this week a 
lot as I'm sitting there with my

421
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,560
mouth open wide and they're 
just, you know, do whatever they

422
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:09,360
want to my jaw and my teeth. 
I'm like, oh Lord, I'm going to 

423
00:22:09,360 --> 00:22:11,640
have nice luscious long hair. 
You know those. 

424
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,680
Those guys, do you know those 
guys? 

425
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:18,320
You know those dudes that are 
OK, so think of what's that guy?

426
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,560
OK, so we went to a wedding. 
And there's this. 

427
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,200
I don't even know. 
Colombians could have beautiful,

428
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:29,320
long, thick hair like that. 
I was like, wow, what the heck? 

429
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,240
I don't think they're full 
Colombian. 

430
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,960
And he sings the flute. 
I'm like, is that guy? 

431
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,280
Is that guy married? 
He plays the is that dude 

432
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:43,880
married? 
No, he's not married girls. 

433
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:49,080
I mean like like he just 
playing. 

434
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:53,200
I don't know. 
I don't want to play the flute 

435
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,280
in heaven, but I'm like that 
guy. 

436
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,240
I'm like, look at. 
I was like, I was looking. 

437
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:58,920
At the bride and groom. 
Because that's where your focus 

438
00:22:59,360 --> 00:23:00,840
focal point. 
But I kept looking over. 

439
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,160
I'm like, gosh, gosh, that guy 
is gorgeous. 

440
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:07,720
And he plays. 
I'm like, what the heck? 

441
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:14,480
You know, OK, the ruler of this 
world will be punished for all 

442
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,080
of eternity for taking this hair
away from me. 

443
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,200
No. 
I'm kidding, I'm kidding. 

444
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:20,120
I'm kidding. 
I'm really kidding. 

445
00:23:20,120 --> 00:23:21,120
I. 
Don't know if that was the 

446
00:23:21,120 --> 00:23:22,160
enemy. 
It could have been God. 

447
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:23,040
I don't know. 
OK. 

448
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,240
But it says. 
How many guys OK, thought this 

449
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,480
week how many people are afraid 
to die No, no joke, no, no joke 

450
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,040
came wrong. 
How many people are afraid to 

451
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:35,640
die? 
Most people, you go to the if 

452
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,080
you, if you had some guts, you 
know, you go to the office, you 

453
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:40,640
just go around the room. 
How many guys are. 

454
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,400
Afraid to die? 
We'll just take a serve. 

455
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,760
We'll just anonymous. 
Right, right on a piece of. 

456
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:46,840
Paper guaranteed to be like 
100%. 

457
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:49,840
People are afraid. 
To die. 

458
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:51,200
And this is what Jesus is 
saying. 

459
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,120
He's saying this in this hour, 
He's foretelling his death. 

460
00:23:53,120 --> 00:23:59,040
He's saying, look, no worries, 
I'm going to defeat the last 

461
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:03,320
enemy I'm. 
Going to defeat death, that is 

462
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,920
Hebrews 214 the greatest enemy 
is death and he will defeat that

463
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,160
so therefore we do not have to 
be worried one. 

464
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,400
Bit about dying. 
Revelation 12/10. 

465
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,040
The enemy accuses us day and 
night, and we will overcome by 

466
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:16,520
the what? 
The blood of the Lamb and the 

467
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,000
word of our testimony. 
How many of that, how many of 

468
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,800
you guys not maybe not afraid of
death, but how many of Got have 

469
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:26,240
been accused by the enemy this 
week, right? 

470
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:31,200
You said something you didn't 
mean and then, right, you even 

471
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,680
apologized. 
You worked it out. 

472
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:35,520
You get in the car, you drive 
away. 

473
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,680
And the enemy's still messing 
with you. 

474
00:24:38,120 --> 00:24:40,320
You're a failure. 
You always will be a failure. 

475
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,680
You can never get it right. 
Whatever it is. 

476
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,280
What Jesus is saying is my death
will do three things. 

477
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,720
You will. 
I will crush the little voice 

478
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,400
box that's inside of your head 
that accuses you all day long. 

479
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:57,640
It's done. 
Not only that, but I will, I 

480
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:01,640
will literally bring you out of 
every fear, the one last 

481
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,040
remaining fear that everybody on
this planet has their the fear 

482
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:05,520
of death. 
You will no longer have that. 

483
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,720
And 3rd, I will save you from 
your sin. 

484
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,040
I will you will find 
forgiveness, he says when 

485
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,680
people, when where is this? 
I am lifted up and I will draw 

486
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,920
all men to myself. 
He gets that right from John 3, 

487
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,120
but he gets that. 
From I just read it actually 

488
00:25:21,120 --> 00:25:22,800
this morning which is crazy from
numbers. 

489
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,640
Right, The people had got bitten
by a snake, right? 

490
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,120
Because they what? 
Complain. 

491
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:33,320
God says stop complaining. 
If you need any verse to help 

492
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,560
you stop complaining. 
That would be it, right? 

493
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:41,400
And the snakes came and bitten 
the people and they're like 

494
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,280
Moses. 
You're you're, you're the guy 

495
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,040
that's connected to God, which 
is so sad. 

496
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,160
To watch that in that passage. 
You're the guy that's connected 

497
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:48,600
to God. 
You're the guy that's connected 

498
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:53,440
right, right. 
So so pray for us says OK, Lord,

499
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:55,440
pray for these people once 
again. 

500
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,320
They they screwed up. 
Please forgive them. 

501
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:58,880
He's like I. 
Want you to do this. 

502
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,560
I want you to put a snake on a 
stick and everyone who looks at 

503
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:07,240
him, it'll be it'll be lifted up
and every time you look at that 

504
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:08,280
snake. 
You'll be healed. 

505
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:11,800
It's kind of weird. 
I know a snake. 

506
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:16,880
Why is it, you know, the idea is
that salvation is outside of 

507
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,880
them. 
And as you look at Jesus, as 

508
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,760
he's lifted up, if you look at 
him and believe in him, all men 

509
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:25,400
will be saved. 
Does that mean all men? 

510
00:26:26,360 --> 00:26:27,800
Every. 
Person on the planet. 

511
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,160
People like universalist like 
Universalist church. 

512
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,520
They love this passage. 
They just believe everybody is 

513
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,800
saved. 
But all this is important for 

514
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,000
your Bible students. 
All means. 

515
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:42,600
Right, without distinction means
all kinds of people. 

516
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,360
Good news. 
Italians get to go to heaven, 

517
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,280
Portuguese get to go to heaven, 
right? 

518
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:53,440
All right, all kinds of people, 
girls, guys, slave, free, 

519
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:57,440
whatever, short, tall, all kinds
of people get to be saved. 

520
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,040
But it's not all without 
exception. 

521
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:05,240
All without distinction, but not
all without exception. 

522
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:07,520
Does that make sense? 
Is that hopeful? 

523
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,680
So when you read the Bible and 
look guys, there's like 20 other

524
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,760
verses in the Bible that says. 
All all all all. 

525
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:14,080
And you got to know what that 
means. 

526
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,760
OK, so final call here, verse 
35. 

527
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,840
So Jesus said to them, while 
little while while while there's

528
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,720
light among you, walk while you 
have light, so that darkness 

529
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:28,600
will not overtake you. 
He who walks in. 

530
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,480
Darkness does not know where he 
goes. 

531
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:33,840
This is so. 
Important he is getting the 

532
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:35,560
final call. 
Guys, listen. 

533
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,040
You don't understand. 
I mean, I I saw this and This is

534
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,040
why I had to I had to preach on 
this because I was like, OK, 

535
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,320
let's just go to the 13. 
This is. 

536
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:46,160
The final public call we're. 
Only at chapter 12 and this 

537
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:47,600
thing goes all the way to 
chapter 21. 

538
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,200
This is the final public call 
that Jesus has to be saved. 

539
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,040
I kind of wanted to. 
I didn't want to be too. 

540
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,160
Intense this morning. 
But I kind of wanted to like 

541
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:06,000
title it Final boarding call 
sounds like a movie, but so it's

542
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,200
crazy when I I was kind of 
thinking about this. 

543
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,200
So when? 
When? 

544
00:28:10,360 --> 00:28:11,640
We had our first mission trip, 
I. 

545
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:13,560
Don't know if you've had any in 
your own. 

546
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,560
Experience this, you get to the 
airport, we're normally late. 

547
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:20,080
That's not unusual for us, so. 
This drives people crazy. 

548
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,520
When I get rides to the airport,
someone's like. 

549
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:23,880
OK. 
What time is your flight? 

550
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,480
Oh, it's at 3:00 PM Or what time
would you like me to pick you up

551
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:30,200
like 2:30? 
I mean, I'm sorry, like. 12 or 

552
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,960
no, I don't have to be there 3 
hours early, I just need to be 

553
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:34,960
at 45. 
Minutes cuz I TSA Pre-check. 

554
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,760
In and out, I like to literally 
go through the thing, you know, 

555
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:42,480
the little tram and I like to 
walk literally on the plane just

556
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:46,480
like that. 
I'm flying this week cuz I'm 

557
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,360
like, oh Lord, I better be 
careful what I say. 

558
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,600
I'll probably miss my flight. 
But but the first time like we 

559
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,160
went on a first Antioch mission 
trip of our church, it was in 

560
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:56,480
2012. 
OK. 

561
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,880
We are going to Mexico and I 
think it was five of us, Kathy, 

562
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:04,120
you were with us and we're 
running, you know, to, to the I 

563
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:05,560
think. 
We're we're in San Diego at the 

564
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:10,960
time, or Orlando. 
Or, you know, Midway Chicago, 

565
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,600
OK, we're connecting there. 
So I'm like running and the, you

566
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:18,000
know, the 10 minute rule before 
the flight leaves, like it's 10 

567
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,000
minutes, they close it. 
The doors literally like closing

568
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,840
like this. 
And I'm like, yeah, like this. 

569
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:27,640
No, no, no, no, no. 
And they literally let us in 

570
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,440
just in the nick of time, you 
know, like they're, you could 

571
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,000
hear your names, you know, like 
final boarding call, like 

572
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,920
they're they're say like the 
last flight call before it 

573
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,880
closes the gate. 
Well, it's a little. 

574
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,080
Different than what we 
experienced in New Orleans, so. 

575
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,440
We're in new. 
Orleans and two people. 

576
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,200
I don't know if I should say 
their name. 

577
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,160
I'm, I'm going to say their 
name. 

578
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:53,280
Cole Newhouse. 
And Christian Bravo, yeah, two 

579
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,480
of them. 
So they're in OK, we're up in 

580
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,160
the lounge. 
We're just chilling in the 

581
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,000
lounge up in you know, cuz they,
they got me free in one of these

582
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:02,640
like credit card lounge things. 
So we're. 

583
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,000
All up there. 
We're getting like disgusting 

584
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,640
food, you know, like potato soup
that's been like 3 days old. 

585
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,840
We're just eating that and we're
enjoying our time and 

586
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:12,760
everything. 
And Eli and I were like. 

587
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,000
It's we're on the same flight, 
by the way. 

588
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,200
I'm like, I think it's time to 
go. 

589
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:23,920
And so I go downstairs and down 
the elevator into my out of my 

590
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,840
flight just made in the nick of 
time sitting there and I'm like,

591
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,960
where's Christian and. 
Cole, what are they doing? 

592
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,480
And I texted, I'm like, dude, 
they're the ladies like we're 

593
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,680
going to close the door. 
Like come. 

594
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:39,200
Oh, I have thought the flight 
they looked at the wrong number.

595
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,360
I think that there was like the 
flight number and they thought 

596
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,280
that was the time. 
I don't know how that got mixed 

597
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:44,400
up. 
Something got mixed up. 

598
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,960
So they're coming down and 
literally the door closes and 

599
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,000
I'm like they close the door 
like it's it, you're done. 

600
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,160
That's it. 
Final boarding call. 

601
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:54,840
You missed it. 
How do you do that? 

602
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,080
They were literally like they're
right above us. 

603
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,480
Like they're just dilly 
dallying. 

604
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:05,200
I don't know what don't dilly 
dally. 

605
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:06,520
Right. 
Don't dilly dally in the 

606
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:07,040
Kingdom. 
Yeah. 

607
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,040
OK. 
So I want to show. 

608
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,280
You this how incredibly patient 
God is. 

609
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,520
Arthur Pink says this. 
He's a old theologian. 

610
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:19,760
Why does God not suddenly killed
a prideful liar like he did with

611
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,760
Ananias and Sapphire? 
Why does he not 'cause the? 

612
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,320
Earth to open up and. 
Devour all those who dishonor 

613
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:29,680
like the sons of Korra simply 
this because he's patient, 

614
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,960
because he's patient. 
Luke 13, six to nine, says this.

615
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,880
A man had a fig tree which had 
been planted in his vineyard. 

616
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,880
He came looking for the fruit on
it and did not find any. 

617
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,160
And he's and he said, cut it 
down, right? 

618
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,080
Three years I have come looking 
for this fruit. 

619
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:47,880
And. 
I haven't found any. 

620
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,400
Then just what do I do, You 
know, let it alone, Sir, for 

621
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,880
this year, I'll until I dig 
around it and put fertilizer in 

622
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:55,920
it. 
If it bears fruit next year, 

623
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:57,600
fine. 
If not, cut it down. 

624
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,400
God is incredibly patient. 
I'm just going to rattle off 

625
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,760
these verses because I want you 
to get something here, right? 

626
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:04,920
Romans 24. 
Do you think lightly of the 

627
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,480
riches of his kindness, 
tolerance and patience and 

628
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,120
kindness. 
Do you know that this leads us 

629
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,680
to repentance? 
It's His kindness that causes us

630
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,280
to pause to see His glory and 
then to be transformed. 

631
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,760
Second, Peter 339 says God is 
patient towards sinners, not 

632
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:23,040
wishing for any to perish, but 
for to come to repentance. 

633
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,960
I love that God is patient 
towards sinners, not wishing for

634
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,560
anyone to perish. 
He's not like ha ha, you missed 

635
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:33,760
the flight. 
You know, but he's he desires 

636
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:38,960
and look, guys, this is awesome.
I'm like sometimes. 

637
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,160
You know, sometimes. 
There's these obscure passes, 

638
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,600
and I'm not saying John 12 is 
like some obscure passage, but I

639
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,560
don't know, when I got into this
passage, I was just saying like 

640
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,160
normally people just go on in 
chapter 13, the washing the 

641
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,160
feed. 
But this, There's something here

642
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:55,360
that I don't think personally, 
I've noticed in my prior reading

643
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,720
that in his love and in his 
mercy. 

644
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,400
All these people if you if 
you've been. 

645
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,320
Following with us for the last 5
1/2 years that we going through 

646
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,920
John their their first. 
I'm just kidding. 

647
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,600
I don't I don't know how long 
it's been like a year and a half

648
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:09,520
or something like that two 
years. 

649
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,240
So. 
When we when we started it John 

650
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,320
chapter 1 and going through like
seeing the glory of God, like do

651
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,600
you know John chapter 1? 
Does anyone know John chapter 1 

652
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,400
the the most famous passage, 
right, the world, the word 

653
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:21,960
became flesh, right dwelt among 
us. 

654
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,320
That's God. 
He came, and he dwelt among us, 

655
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:25,680
right? 
And then he finds. 

656
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,400
Finds his disciples John chapter
2. 

657
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,480
What is it? 
Winning a can of right. 

658
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,000
He turns water into wine. 
Beautiful. 

659
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,600
It's amazing. 
Right, he turns our dull lives 

660
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,560
into something joyful and 
amazing in the Kingdom of God. 

661
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:42,360
Chapter 3, what happens? 
He meets Nicodemus, this 

662
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:47,120
religious phony, right? 
And, and he's asking questions 

663
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,880
and he doesn't get saved right 
there in the middle, in, in, in 

664
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,200
that chapter. 
But later on, somehow after 

665
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,440
watching the glory of God be 
displayed, he gets saved. 

666
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,360
And then chapter 4 the, the, the
woman at the well, right? 

667
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,640
This this woman who is, who is 
with five other people. 

668
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,360
Right in her life. 
Sexually. 

669
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:08,280
Immoral to the NTH degree. 
I don't think anybody in this 

670
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:09,520
church. 
Probably has lived a life like 

671
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,960
that, and if they have. 
You've seen it in that passage. 

672
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,719
There's forgiveness, there is 
forgiveness. 

673
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:22,080
Chapter 5 The man who is lame 
for 38 years, he gets saved. 

674
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,320
Not only does he get healed, but
he gets saved. 

675
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:25,840
So are you. 
He's like. 

676
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,920
What do you what do you want? 
I want to be healed, be healed. 

677
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:31,800
Chapter 6. 
Feeding the 5000. 

678
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,840
Chapter 7 Rivers of living water
will flow through you. 

679
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,280
If you believe right, the power 
of the Holy Spirit will come 

680
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,360
into your life. 
Chapter 8 right. 

681
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:42,360
He's. 
Dealing with a woman who's 

682
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:46,280
caught in the act of. 
Adultery Chapter 9 What is it? 

683
00:34:46,679 --> 00:34:48,760
He heals them. 
He heals the man born blind, 

684
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,400
Chapter 10. 
He is the Good Shepherd Chapter 

685
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,000
11. 
He raises Lazarus from the dead,

686
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:58,040
Chapter 12. 
Mary breaks the alabaster jar at

687
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,440
Jesus feet and we haven't moved 
on from there. 

688
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:10,080
Do you see the glory of God? 
God can run circles around your 

689
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:14,160
life. 
He could do whatever he wants 

690
00:35:14,720 --> 00:35:16,720
and he's choosing in this 
moment. 

691
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:23,760
And all their unbelief is the 
all these people that have, it's

692
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,320
like the I call them like the in
betweens, the in betweens, the 

693
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:30,000
stories, the in betweens. 
Like all these people, he's, he 

694
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,960
does this great miracle. 
And then it's like some believe 

695
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:35,960
and many reject great miracle, 
great miracle, great. 

696
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,280
And in between is these 
reactions. 

697
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,760
This is where you and I come in.
This is where we come in. 

698
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:43,880
What do you choose? 
Do you want to believe the glory

699
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:45,720
of God and follow Him? 
Or do you want to go your own 

700
00:35:45,720 --> 00:35:49,040
way? 
Do you understand? 

701
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:52,640
I was thinking I was 
researching. 

702
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:54,080
This was like Genesis 5 through 
8. 

703
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:56,680
I don't, you know, it doesn't 
tell you the amount of years. 

704
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:57,800
You have to kind of do some 
math. 

705
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,640
But 100 you don't. 
You don't know know what I was 

706
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,440
going to say was this. 
No one was preaching for 100 

707
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:08,480
years. 
I've only been preaching for 14 

708
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:14,640
years, 100 years of preaching. 
But now is he preaching? 

709
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:18,720
He's building a boat. 
He's telling everybody repent 

710
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:20,520
because the floodwaters are 
coming. 

711
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:32,480
Do you understand at one time in
your life, if you have not 

712
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:36,920
received Jesus, His patience 
will run out? 

713
00:36:44,490 --> 00:36:46,970
I'm not sure if I said anything 
more important than what I just 

714
00:36:46,970 --> 00:36:57,130
said like in the last 14 years. 
Do you understand how gracious? 

715
00:36:58,330 --> 00:37:02,280
If you're troubled, I don't 
think you would be caring about 

716
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:06,280
the the weight of the world. 
You would just be caring about 

717
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:12,960
the weight of yourself. 
And in this moment in time, he's

718
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:17,080
troubled. 
And what does he think about you

719
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:25,200
that's profound. 
That is really profound. 

720
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:33,480
I do that for you, by the way, 
not for me, because that is 

721
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:44,480
amazing. 
There should be a doubt in your 

722
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:49,000
mind. 
About the love of God right now.

723
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:55,480
That while he was troubled, he 
takes one more opportunity to 

724
00:37:55,480 --> 00:38:02,000
say while you have light. 
And do I think it's a 

725
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,800
coincidence that we've been 
having trouble with our lights 

726
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:08,560
this morning? 
Do you understand that before 

727
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,440
electricity, which is probably 
what maybe what I need somebody 

728
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,680
to tell me the year like what, 
what year did the electricity 

729
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,040
come in with that? 
Was it a? 

730
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:17,520
100 years ago? 
No, it's not even 100. 

731
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:18,560
Years ago is. 
It about 100. 

732
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:25,240
I mean, we this this, this globe
has been literally turning. 

733
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:32,880
For 6000 years and maybe maybe 
the last, I don't know, Not even

734
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,160
100 years, 1870. 
Five. 

735
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:38,520
There you go, buddy. 1875. 
Yeah. 

736
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:41,360
So Dick would probably 
understand. 

737
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,680
When that when that was right. 
Just kidding. 

738
00:38:44,720 --> 00:38:47,400
Just kidding, Dick. 
OK, Yeah. 1835. 

739
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:49,480
There's a wrong there, right? 
No. 

740
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:59,360
So 1875, that's not that long 
ago, but do you under, do you 

741
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:00,560
understand? 
What he's saying because they 

742
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:02,280
they didn't. 
I mean, they couldn't. 

743
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,200
Flip the switch. 
They couldn't use a generator 

744
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:10,560
like we're using right now. 
We're using the generator, but 

745
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,080
during those times they had to 
walk only in the daylight. 

746
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:18,080
And Jesus is saying, while you 
have me, believe in me, because 

747
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,400
at some point I'm shutting the 
lights off. 

748
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:29,040
And some of you in this room 
have the lights off. 

749
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:38,950
I. 
Was just trying to show you one 

750
00:39:38,950 --> 00:39:43,550
thing and then we'll I want to 
show you in Romans chapter 1 and

751
00:39:43,550 --> 00:39:48,480
then we'll we'll start to make 
our way to a close here for the 

752
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,760
wrath of God verse 18 the wrath 
of God is revealed from heaven 

753
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:53,880
against all ungodliness and 
unrighteousness of men who 

754
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,080
suppress the truth and 
unrighteousness because that 

755
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:59,800
which is known about God is 
evident within them for God made

756
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:02,720
it evident to them for since the
creation of the world his 

757
00:40:02,720 --> 00:40:05,040
invisible attributes, his 
internal powers, the divine 

758
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:09,320
nature has been clearly seen 
being understood through what 

759
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:12,960
has been made so that we're 
without excuse. 

760
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:14,920
Talk about the glory of God. 
I mean this is amazing. 

761
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,360
This is this passage fits so 
well for. 

762
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,440
For that, though, even though 
they knew God, they did not 

763
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:24,040
honor him and give him thanks. 
For they became futile and 

764
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,840
speculation, and their foolish 
heart was darkened. 

765
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,680
The lights were out. 
Profession. 

766
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,080
Profession to be wise. 
They thought they were wise. 

767
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:34,800
Think about like professors at 
UCF. 

768
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:38,720
They think they're so wise, but 
yet they're fools. 

769
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:43,640
And exchange the glory of an 
incorruptible God for an image 

770
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:46,120
of the form of a corruptible 
man, and the birds and four 

771
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:47,560
footed animals and crawling 
creatures. 

772
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,840
Therefore, God. 
Gave them over. 

773
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,960
To the lust of their hearts to 
impurity, so that their bodies 

774
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:56,400
will be dishonored among them 
for the exchange the truth of 

775
00:40:56,400 --> 00:41:01,400
God for a lie, and worship and 
serve the creature rather than 

776
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,920
the Creator, who is blessed 
forever. 

777
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,440
For this reason God gave them 
over to degrading passions. 

778
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,040
For their women exchanged 
natural function for which is 

779
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,880
unnatural. 
In the same way the men 

780
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,960
abandoned the natural function 
of the women who burn in the 

781
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,840
desire towards one another. 
Men with men committing indecent

782
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,320
acts, receiving to their own 
persons deep penalty of their 

783
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,560
error. 
And just as they did not see fit

784
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:27,120
to acknowledge God any longer, 
God gave them over to a depraved

785
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:31,400
mind, So that those things which
are not proper, proper, being 

786
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,240
filled with all unrighteousness,
wickedness, greed, evil, full of

787
00:41:34,240 --> 00:41:37,720
envy, murder, strife, deceit, 
malice, their gossip, slanders, 

788
00:41:37,720 --> 00:41:41,200
haters of God, insolent, 
arrogant, boasters, inventors of

789
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:44,320
evil, disobedient to parents 
without understanding, 

790
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,560
untrustworthy, unloving, 
unmerciful. 

791
00:41:47,240 --> 00:41:51,520
And although they know the 
ordinance of God because it's 

792
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:55,480
written on their hearts from 
birth that those who practice 

793
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,600
such things are worthy of death,
they not only do the same, but 

794
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:01,520
they give hearty approval of 
those who practice them. 

795
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:12,000
Get it this Let me just say it 
like this if you keep saying. 

796
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,640
My way, my way, my way, my way, 
my way, my way. 

797
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:22,560
God will eventually say find 
your way. 

798
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:27,960
What is he saying to us this 
morning? 

799
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,320
Because I don't think everyone 
is like, I just want to go my 

800
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:35,440
way. 
Like in the sense maybe the 

801
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:39,800
extreme of Romans 1. 
Some maybe, but some may not. 

802
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:44,680
Some are just thinking they're 
OK, right? 

803
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:51,560
I love what Spurgeon says. 
We have waited for God's sound 

804
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:54,840
at the dead of night and looked 
out for him and expected him in 

805
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,600
the heat of day and figured he 
might come here. 

806
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:01,120
And yet another son went down. 
But he's not here. 

807
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:06,080
He waits a very, very long time.
Patience is, which keeps him 

808
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,680
from coming. 
Now he might be thinking, OK, 

809
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:13,040
loved ones, I'm so thankful that
God is not yet here. 

810
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:19,360
But for your own soul, are you 
thankful that you still have a 

811
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:23,160
pulse? 
Because God is wanting to teach 

812
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,600
us. 
There's so much more that He 

813
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:29,920
wants to teach us as a church. 
There's so much more that He 

814
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:31,880
wants to show us. 
He wants to reveal the glory of 

815
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:35,640
God, but yet we're maybe not 
ready for that. 

816
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:40,240
There's so many passages I can 
share with you, but I wanna, I 

817
00:43:40,240 --> 00:43:42,240
wanna just, I wanna close on a 
few things here. 

818
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:46,200
I can have Alex come up, but 
I'll read a few more. 

819
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:50,160
Nehemiah 930 You bore with them 
for so many years. 

820
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:52,040
This is Nehemiah's prayer. 
He's talking to God. 

821
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:54,840
He's saying you admonish them by
your spirit through your 

822
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:57,160
prophets, yet they did not give 
ear. 

823
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:02,360
Therefore you gave them into the
hand of the peoples, into of the

824
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:06,840
lands. 
And then Hebrews 10/26 says 

825
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:08,360
this. 
If we go on sinning willfully 

826
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:10,520
after receiving the knowledge of
truth, there's no other 

827
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:16,560
sacrifice. 
And we just, we had lunch with 

828
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:22,360
the Kims the other day and we, 
we went to, we went to 

829
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:25,240
Canterbury and some of you guys 
know what Canterbury is, right? 

830
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:27,600
I like our church got started 
there. 

831
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:29,040
We did ADS there. 
We did world mandates there. 

832
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:31,800
We did our A1A conferences, we 
did our mission conferences. 

833
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:34,720
We did so much there and we 
helped them during hurricane 

834
00:44:34,720 --> 00:44:35,560
outreaches. 
I remember. 

835
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:38,480
When we were. 
Just picking up, you know, just 

836
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:40,520
trash and everything. 
And we just, we love those 

837
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:45,280
people. 
But they sold just recently and 

838
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:48,840
a lot of, a lot of it, they 
probably sold, God had to shut 

839
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:54,040
the lights off in that place 
because they began to open up. 

840
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:57,000
They got so desperate for money,
they began to open up to new 

841
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:00,320
age. 
And I remember, I remember going

842
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:03,920
on a canoe ride in the back 
because they let us, they let 

843
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:06,600
our church basically just do 
canoe rides back there and hike 

844
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:07,760
and whatever you want to do 
really. 

845
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:10,760
They, I mean, like we said, we 
felt like we owned the place. 

846
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:15,360
And. 
I remember like 11 evening, 

847
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:18,760
we're as a family, we're just on
a canoe and we're looking over 

848
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:20,520
and this this woman with like 
purple hair. 

849
00:45:20,720 --> 00:45:25,000
She's like, like doing this like
raking thing or whatever, some 

850
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,120
weird thing. 
And I found out it was like some

851
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:29,240
new age raking. 
And I'm like, why would they do 

852
00:45:29,240 --> 00:45:31,280
that? 
Why would they let these people 

853
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:34,360
on this property? 
This is a precious property that

854
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:35,720
was. 
Dedicated to the Lord, I mean. 

855
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:38,160
They just, they had the stations
of the cross. 

856
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:39,280
You could do that around the 
lake. 

857
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:41,000
I mean, it's just a just a 
moment. 

858
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:42,960
You can just a powerful time. 
You can meet with God. 

859
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:46,600
And I'm just, I have so many 
memories there of just meeting 

860
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:50,600
with the Lord and he had to shut
the lights off. 

861
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:55,680
But we went there and we're just
like, man, we, we just, we want 

862
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:58,200
to redeem this place. 
Lord, we, we sent a letter. 

863
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:02,600
We're just like, would they just
donate like 10% of of the land 

864
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:05,080
to our church? 
You guys could be believing with

865
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:10,160
us for that, but we brought the 
Kims there and we're just 

866
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:11,880
praying. 
We're just like, Lord, come on, 

867
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:14,880
like this. 
We want to see the glory of God 

868
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:16,600
again because it's so sad to 
watch. 

869
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:18,720
Like the signs are just smashed 
there. 

870
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:21,840
Things are just literally just 
looks like the place has been 

871
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:25,280
abandoned like some. 
Like some horror movie, you 

872
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:28,440
know, like. 
And I'm like, Lord, redeem this 

873
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:31,800
place. 
And I just, I, I was thinking 

874
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:35,440
about a little bit, but how 
quickly how something can shine 

875
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:37,960
so brightly and then the lights 
turn off. 

876
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:42,040
And I was thinking about like 
man, Isaiah 55, which is our 

877
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:44,120
family verse rise our family 
chapter. 

878
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:47,920
It says call on the Lord. 
Seek him while he may be found. 

879
00:46:49,240 --> 00:46:53,160
Come, eat, buy bread which that 
you cannot afford, like come. 

880
00:46:53,720 --> 00:46:55,640
And. 
You. 

881
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:57,040
You can't. 
You can't buy heaven. 

882
00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:02,080
You can't buy eternal life. 
But just come and I love this 

883
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:06,440
towards the end of John is our 
end of this passage. 

884
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,440
You know, there are people that 
were coming and they were 

885
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:13,320
believing, but then it says, you
know, just in parentheses it 

886
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:15,800
says, right. 
It's like it's not literally in 

887
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:18,560
parentheses, but just this 
little note that said for they 

888
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:21,040
love the approval of man rather 
than the approval of God. 

889
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:24,600
And then I was reminded of 
Revelation 21, five through 8. 

890
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:27,440
He who overcomes will inherit 
all these things, and I will be 

891
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:32,080
his God and he will be my son. 
And I saw. 

892
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:34,200
It like I underlined it because 
I was like, what? 

893
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:38,600
Like I can understand the 
unbelieving, abominable 

894
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:43,280
murderers, immoral persons, 
sorcerers, idolaters, liars. 

895
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:44,920
All of them will be in the lake 
of Fire. 

896
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:46,320
Like, OK, yeah, I understand 
that. 

897
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:51,800
But it says the cowardly. 
The cowardly, Like what? 

898
00:47:53,600 --> 00:48:00,640
Look in the Greek, still the 
same word, the cowardly, those 

899
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:04,800
who give in to their lust, their
pleasures, but also those who 

900
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:12,240
are afraid to associate with God
and to be gods and to be his and

901
00:48:12,240 --> 00:48:15,680
to walk with him, those who are 
afraid. 

902
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:22,600
It says if you deny me before 
people, I'll deny you before my 

903
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:25,480
Father who's in heaven. 
I'm not saying this is an easy 

904
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:28,600
message to receive this morning.
I'm just saying this is true. 

905
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:31,640
This is Jesus, this is he's 
speaking. 

906
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:41,320
My concern guys for this morning
is it says in in Revelation, 

907
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:48,040
Revelation 314. 
Some of you know this passage 

908
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:50,600
really well, right? 
I mean, you've maybe heard it 

909
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:56,680
preached, but it says in 
Revelation 14 or 314 to the 

910
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:59,480
Angel, the Church of Laodicea, I
know your deeds. 

911
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:03,600
He doesn't say intentions. 
He doesn't. 

912
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:07,440
Say I know your intentions. 
I know your works. 

913
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:15,000
That you're neither cold. 
Cold means you want nothing to 

914
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:17,160
do with God and everybody knows 
it, and you just. 

915
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:19,200
Nothing in your life lines up 
with God. 

916
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:24,000
That's God's not talking about 
that crowd neither. 

917
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:26,560
Hot, hot, hot means you're red 
hot for God. 

918
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:29,160
I mean like you're in, you're a 
Mary, you're at his feet, you 

919
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:30,960
love Jesus, you're in, you've 
given your. 

920
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:33,320
Life. 
But he's talking about this 

921
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:37,440
lukewarm, this mixture. 
So because you're lukewarm, 

922
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:39,440
neither hot nor cold, I will 
spit you out of my mouth. 

923
00:49:39,720 --> 00:49:41,920
It's almost just like, have you 
ever had anything lukewarm? 

924
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:44,040
If you if you, if you went to 
Chili's, Mitch. 

925
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:48,120
And you had a Luke, you had a 
lukewarm, you had a lukewarm 

926
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:49,880
burger. 
You know, like just kind of like

927
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:53,440
just it's kind of not cold. 
There's not a cold Patty that 

928
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:54,800
they just brought out of the 
freezer. 

929
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:58,000
Nor is it the way it's supposed 
to be cooked. 

930
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:00,480
And you kind of like eat and 
you're like, whoa, you spit it 

931
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:06,040
out of your mouth. 
Listen, listen. 

932
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:13,280
That might sound really harsh 
that Jesus would spit the 

933
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:16,160
lukewarmness in the room out of 
his mouth, but. 

934
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:19,880
You could do hot. 
Hot tea is wonderful hot food, 

935
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:23,440
cold smoothie. 
You don't want a hot smoothie. 

936
00:50:36,590 --> 00:50:38,990
I think what I'm most concerned 
about in this church, we've seen

937
00:50:38,990 --> 00:50:42,710
so much fruit in the last so 
many months. 

938
00:50:43,030 --> 00:50:46,390
It's been amazing to watch. 
I've gloried in so much of it. 

939
00:50:46,390 --> 00:50:48,430
I've, I've just thank God so 
much of it. 

940
00:50:48,430 --> 00:50:52,470
I it's cost something. 
It's cost a lot more than 

941
00:50:52,470 --> 00:51:01,400
anybody in the room would know. 
But I'm concerned about plateau.

942
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:05,680
I'm concerned about growing to a
point and then settling and 

943
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:09,480
being OK with it and not being 
able to hear the warnings of 

944
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:11,240
scripture. 
To be able to hear you're like 

945
00:51:11,240 --> 00:51:15,120
and every warning you're like, 
that's not me, that's not me, 

946
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:20,160
that's not me. 
And to be all into the hype and 

947
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:22,160
the excitement of whatever is 
going on. 

948
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:26,720
And to miss what Jesus is trying
to speak, to miss the. 

949
00:51:26,720 --> 00:51:32,680
Glory of God. 
Lukewarm has too much hot to be 

950
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:37,560
cold and too much cold to be 
hot. 

951
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:41,240
You think about that. 
I've had some time to think 

952
00:51:41,240 --> 00:51:46,440
about that, but you think about 
that later, OK, With Jesus, if 

953
00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:51,040
you look at all of Scripture, 
what God is most concerned 

954
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:56,040
about, You look from Genesis to 
Revelation, and I'd rather over 

955
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:59,080
and over and over again, but you
just trace the theme what Jesus 

956
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:02,680
with the Lord God, Yahweh is 
looking out for. 

957
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:11,920
Is mixture mixture? 
Do you have mixture? 

958
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:18,160
In your life, let me show you 
something because you say I'm 

959
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:24,160
rich and I have become wealthy 
and have need of nothing. 

960
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:26,760
Have you ever said that I don't 
need? 

961
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:35,720
Do you not know that you are 
wretched, miserable, poor, blind

962
00:52:35,720 --> 00:52:40,200
and naked? 
And I advise you to do this by 

963
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:43,600
keep that word in mind. 
Keep that word by, just store it

964
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:48,880
by from the gold refined by 
fire, so that you may become 

965
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:52,800
rich in white garments, so that 
you may clothe yourself, that 

966
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:55,680
the shame of your nakedness will
not be revealed in the eye. 

967
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:58,480
Solve to anoint your eyes so 
that you may see. 

968
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:04,480
Those whom I love underline He 
loves us as a church. 

969
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:11,800
Those whom I love, I reprove. 
Some of us are deaf, can't hear 

970
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:16,480
and discipline. 
Therefore be zealous and repent.

971
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:18,120
Behold, I stand at the door and 
knock. 

972
00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:21,480
If anyone hears my voice and 
opens the door, I will come in 

973
00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:25,040
and I will dine with him and he 
with me. 

974
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:31,080
Sometimes when life is so good 
and you think you have no need, 

975
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:35,440
but God is saying, don't you 
hear the knock? 

976
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:39,280
I want to meet with you and 
you're like, I don't have any 

977
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:40,640
need. 
I'm good. 

978
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:42,760
I mean, life's good. 
We're good, we're good. 

979
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:52,080
It's all of America, by the way.
You ever just? 

980
00:54:00,490 --> 00:54:04,130
Just let it just trust me. 
You're like, what is this guy 

981
00:54:04,130 --> 00:54:13,590
doing up there? 
How many just keep hearing the 

982
00:54:13,590 --> 00:54:19,390
knock and you don't answer the 
door because you're afraid of 

983
00:54:19,390 --> 00:54:23,710
what's going to what? 
Maybe God would say for better, 

984
00:54:23,710 --> 00:54:29,320
for worse, but he says I reprove
those that I love. 

985
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:33,920
Maybe it's pride. 
Maybe no one can get through to 

986
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:36,600
you. 
Maybe people have been trying to

987
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:39,200
say something to you. 
God's been trying to say 

988
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:40,400
something to you and you can't 
hear him. 

989
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:45,120
He's just knocking. 
Want to come in? 

990
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:48,080
I want to meet with you. 
I want to fellowship with you. 

991
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:52,520
Come everyone who thirsts Isaiah
55, come to the waters. 

992
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:55,520
You who have no money, come by. 
Eat. 

993
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:01,080
I want to just land on this. 
I know it's a lot, but I just 

994
00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:04,280
want to land on this story. 
I think this will tie it all 

995
00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:08,640
together. 
Chapter 25 Matthew it says this.

996
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:13,320
The Kingdom of heaven will be 
comparable to 10 virgins who 

997
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:17,320
took their lamps and went out to
meet the bridegroom. 5 of them 

998
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:21,840
were foolish, and five are 
prudent or wise. 

999
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:26,360
For when the foolish took their 
lamps, they took no oil with 

1000
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:31,520
them, but the prudent took oil 
in the flask along with their 

1001
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:33,800
lamps. 
And now while the bridegroom was

1002
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:39,360
delaying talk about the patience
of God, they all got drowsy and 

1003
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:42,160
began to sleep. 
But at midnight there was a 

1004
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:45,400
shout. 
Behold, the bridegroom come out 

1005
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:49,920
to meet with him. 
Then all the virgins rose and 

1006
00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:52,440
trim their lamps. 
And the foolish said to the 

1007
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:55,560
prudent, Give us some of your 
oil, for the lamps are going 

1008
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:57,880
out. 
The prudent answered, No, there 

1009
00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:03,240
will not be enough for us, and 
you too should go instead to the

1010
00:56:03,240 --> 00:56:06,080
dealers and buy some for 
yourselves. 

1011
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:09,880
And while they were going away 
to make the purchase, the 

1012
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:13,560
bridegroom came, and those who 
are ready went in with him to 

1013
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:15,400
the wedding feast, and the door 
was shut. 

1014
00:56:18,240 --> 00:56:22,600
Later the virgins also came and 
saying Lord, Lord, these are the

1015
00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:24,760
unwise. 
I want to understand. 

1016
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:27,400
These aren't the cold in 
Revelation 3. 

1017
00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:33,400
This is the mixture, Lord, Lord,
Lord, Lord. 

1018
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:39,120
Like that means I think I know 
the Lord, I'm with God, I do my 

1019
00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:42,720
quiet times every day. 
Lord, Lord, open up to us. 

1020
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:46,360
But he answered this truly. 
I say to you, I do not know you.

1021
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:50,320
I don't know. 
Who you are? 

1022
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:56,920
Be on the alert then, for you do
not know when this day is 

1023
00:56:56,920 --> 00:56:59,200
coming. 
You do not know when God's going

1024
00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:01,480
to shut the lights off. 
You don't know. 

1025
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:03,880
I don't know literally. 
I don't know if these things are

1026
00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:08,160
going to make it or not. 
But I want you to notice some. 

1027
00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:18,320
I want you to see one thing. 
The foolish and the wise go into

1028
00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:21,640
a convenience store and they all
buy lamps. 

1029
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:25,600
The foolish go up to the 
counter, I'll take a lamp. 

1030
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:29,000
Next lady, take a lamp, next one
take a lamp. 

1031
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:36,520
And then the YS come in. 
They say, hey, I liquidated all 

1032
00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:42,600
my cash, I have nothing left. 
Not only will I buy the lamp, 

1033
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:46,740
I'll buy the oil. 
Do you? 

1034
00:57:50,230 --> 00:57:53,430
Want to know the ultimate 
problem with the foolish? 

1035
00:57:54,590 --> 00:57:57,360
They all had lamps, right? 
What was the problem with the 

1036
00:57:57,360 --> 00:58:01,160
foolish? 
They didn't give all their lives

1037
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:11,520
to God in his Kingdom. 
It's not enough to just say I 

1038
00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:15,920
believe. 
It's not enough to just assume 

1039
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:19,960
everything's OK, everything's 
good, I'm good, I'm fine. 

1040
00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:25,200
But to be desperate, you know, 
the only woman that I see in 

1041
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:28,720
this chapter in John chapter 12 
that had oil, not only a lamp, 

1042
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:34,760
but oil was who Mary isn't that 
awesome how it all comes 

1043
00:58:34,760 --> 00:58:37,280
together? 
Isn't that beautiful? 

1044
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:40,760
The scriptures Scripture 
interprets scripture. 

1045
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:44,520
It takes a whole Bible to make a
whole Christian and just seeing 

1046
00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:50,480
the the beauty of this. 
Mary had the extra oil so 

1047
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:52,560
therefore she could endure to 
the end. 

1048
00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:56,320
She was prepared. 
The foolish were unprepared. 

1049
00:58:56,640 --> 00:58:59,720
They just want a bare minimum. 
Is there any bare minimum people

1050
00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:01,600
in the room? 
Just I just want to make it in. 

1051
00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:04,440
I just want to get by. 
That's not going to be. 

1052
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:10,160
Enough in the end times, because
this passage Jesus is saying is 

1053
00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:14,960
all in context. 
Chapter 232425 is all in context

1054
00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:19,440
of when things get really hard 
in the end days and he's saying 

1055
00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:23,600
don't be the foolish, don't go 
bare minimum because in the end 

1056
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:26,840
he will say I don't know who you
are and they're going to say 

1057
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:28,160
well. 
Lord, Lord, I mean, I know 

1058
00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:29,040
everything about you. 
I have. 

1059
00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:31,040
Systematic theology book on my 
bookshelf. 

1060
00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:34,840
I don't know you. 
I don't I don't know who you 

1061
00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:39,600
are. 
You didn't give your. 

1062
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:44,680
Life. 
To me, you bought the lamp, but 

1063
00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:47,600
you didn't bring the oil and now
it's too late. 

1064
00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:50,600
The lights are off. 
You got what you wanted. 

1065
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:52,600
You want a mixture. 
You want a God in the world. 

1066
00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:55,280
You wanted both. 
That was what your life was 

1067
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:56,760
about. 
Your life was both. 

1068
00:59:56,760 --> 01:00:00,840
I want the comforts of this 
world, and I also want God to 

1069
01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:03,240
come with that. 
And God saying that's not 

1070
01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:06,040
enough. 
It's all or nothing with him. 

1071
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:17,480
Where's this all going? 
Isaiah 35 shows you something 

1072
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:20,320
here. 
Without holiness, it says in 

1073
01:00:20,320 --> 01:00:22,880
Hebrews 12, without holiness no 
one will see the Lord. 

1074
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:26,320
And it says be careful you don't
fall short of the grace of God. 

1075
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:31,040
What he's saying is you can take
the grace of God in vain and not

1076
01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:35,560
use it to live life. 
And he's saying this in Isaiah 

1077
01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:38,840
35 verse 3. 
Encourage the exhausted. 

1078
01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:41,880
So what does God do? 
He wants to discipline us. 

1079
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:43,600
He wants to come in and correct 
us. 

1080
01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:46,720
He wants us to hear His voice so
that we might walk with Him all 

1081
01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:49,240
the days of our life. 
He says this encourage the 

1082
01:00:49,240 --> 01:00:50,960
exhausted and the strength in 
the feeble. 

1083
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:54,160
He says that in in the context 
of discipline in Hebrews 12, say

1084
01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:57,320
to those with anxious heart, 
Take courage, fear not, behold, 

1085
01:00:57,320 --> 01:00:58,640
your God will come with 
vengeance. 

1086
01:00:58,760 --> 01:01:02,360
The recompense of the God will 
come, but He will save you. 

1087
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:05,440
Then the eyes of the blind will 
be open, the ears of the deaf 

1088
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:08,960
will be unstopped, the lame will
leap like a deer, and the tongue

1089
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:12,120
of the mute will shout for joy. 
It's the grace of God coming in 

1090
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:13,720
right. 
The waters will break forth in 

1091
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:17,240
the wilderness and the streams 
and are above, and the scorched 

1092
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:20,120
land will become a pool and a 
thirsty ground springs of water 

1093
01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:22,280
in the haunt of jackals. 
It's resting place. 

1094
01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:24,160
Grass will become reeds and 
rushes. 

1095
01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:26,920
And listen to this. 
A highway will be there. 

1096
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:30,000
What is this highway that God 
wants to produce in your life? 

1097
01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:34,680
A roadway. 
And the highway will be called 

1098
01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:40,600
the Highway of Holiness. 
Do you feel that? 

1099
01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:43,560
I'm not kidding. 
Do you understand what this 

1100
01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:47,960
whole thing is about? 
This whole thing is about you 

1101
01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:51,680
becoming like Jesus. 
It is not about your comforts. 

1102
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:57,080
God is not interested in your 
American comforts, but He's 

1103
01:01:57,080 --> 01:02:02,080
interested in you knowing Him. 
It's a highway to holiness. 

1104
01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:05,680
He brings every bit of 
discipline in our life and 

1105
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:09,240
uncomfortability in our life for
the purpose of becoming more 

1106
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:12,840
like him. 
It's a highway to holiness. 

1107
01:02:13,360 --> 01:02:16,280
Isn't that good? 
The unclean will not travel on 

1108
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:22,760
it, but it will be for him who 
walks that way, and the fools 

1109
01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:29,560
will not wander on it. 
Guys, I, I, I don't know. 

1110
01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:30,920
I. 
Understand it's been a wonky 

1111
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:33,360
morning, but I do not want you 
to miss this. 

1112
01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:35,000
This is recording. 
You can go back and listen to 

1113
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:39,080
it, but the word of God is so 
powerful and if you if you just 

1114
01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:42,600
listen to the voice of. 
God in this moment and don't 

1115
01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:45,400
think it's. 
Angels or Thunder talking but. 

1116
01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:48,280
Listen to the voice of God for 
your sakes. 

1117
01:02:49,120 --> 01:02:51,640
You'll see the beauty of the 
scripture come alive in your 

1118
01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:53,760
life and you will have true 
comfort. 

1119
01:02:54,320 --> 01:02:56,280
The comfort that God always 
wanted to give you. 

1120
01:02:56,280 --> 01:02:58,920
Do you know where true comfort 
comes from? 

1121
01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:01,600
When we don't numb out in pain 
and find His comfort. 

1122
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:06,880
When we actually receive his 
grace, his the beauty of God 

1123
01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:10,000
like be able to when we're open 
to his correction. 

1124
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:15,760
When we have true humility like 
Mary, we will see His glory. 

1125
01:03:16,040 --> 01:03:18,400
And when we see his. 
Glory, the fruitfulness will 

1126
01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:20,640
come into our life, the 
fruitfulness of what holiness 

1127
01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:23,000
and we will be then effective 
witnesses. 

1128
01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:26,000
It's Jesus family mission. 
It's what he's called us to do, 

1129
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:28,680
be effective witnesses to this. 
World. 

1130
01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:31,360
But we have to be able to be 
quiet. 

1131
01:03:32,040 --> 01:03:34,880
And hear him in this noisy 
crazy. 

1132
01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:38,160
World that we live in, that we 
can actually hear his voice. 

1133
01:03:38,160 --> 01:03:42,520
He's saying there is more. 
In your individual life, yes, 

1134
01:03:42,520 --> 01:03:45,440
corporately, but in your life, 
I've seen it. 

1135
01:03:45,640 --> 01:03:48,880
And a lot of times he takes me, 
he kind of takes me for like, I 

1136
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:52,240
go first and a lot of these 
things I'm like, you know, like 

1137
01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:56,800
just going through whatever. 
And it's like, man, it's just 

1138
01:03:56,800 --> 01:03:59,840
I've been seeing God's glory in 
my times with God in the last 

1139
01:03:59,840 --> 01:04:02,200
three or four weeks. 
And it's been hard, but it's 

1140
01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:04,920
also been good because he's 
like, John, I have more for you.

1141
01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:07,160
And so then there's more for 
this church. 

1142
01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:11,000
And if you don't listen to my 
voice and they don't hear my 

1143
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:16,920
voice and accept my way, my way 
like my way of correction, my 

1144
01:04:16,920 --> 01:04:20,960
way of, of molding my people. 
If they don't accept that, they 

1145
01:04:20,960 --> 01:04:24,640
will plateau. 
They will settle in the land, 

1146
01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:27,080
they will settle in the 
wilderness and not come to that 

1147
01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:29,200
place of promise that come to 
the place where we could 

1148
01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:32,600
experience God together as a 
people continually all the days 

1149
01:04:32,600 --> 01:04:38,840
of our life. 
So you think you can see and 

1150
01:04:38,840 --> 01:04:41,080
you're you think you have 
clothes, but God say no, you're 

1151
01:04:41,080 --> 01:04:44,000
blind, you're naked and you're 
poor. 

1152
01:04:44,240 --> 01:04:46,800
Come and buy from me. 
Take from me. 

1153
01:04:47,080 --> 01:04:51,600
I'm good take from me and 
receive and a lot of times, you 

1154
01:04:51,600 --> 01:04:53,800
know, certain messages, they 
don't make sense until weeks 

1155
01:04:53,800 --> 01:04:55,200
later. 
I think these are one of those 

1156
01:04:55,200 --> 01:05:00,200
times where it's just like you, 
it's like we can't see it until 

1157
01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:03,280
we go through it and it's like 
the lights are on. 

1158
01:05:03,760 --> 01:05:06,840
And while it's still while the 
lights are still on, God is 

1159
01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:09,200
asking. 
He's begging you to come to Him 

1160
01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:13,080
to receive all that He has for 
you in this season, in this 

1161
01:05:13,080 --> 01:05:17,160
moment before we go on mission. 
He wants us to come to Him 

1162
01:05:17,160 --> 01:05:18,520
because He wants us to see His 
glory. 

1163
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:20,960
And He could see that He is 
patient with us. 

1164
01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:25,480
He is so patient with us. 
How many times in your life has 

1165
01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:28,200
has the Lord just showing you 
His patience? 

1166
01:05:28,600 --> 01:05:32,160
Maybe hopefully this time is now
and how He's called you to get 

1167
01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:34,440
out of that sin. 
Stop that. 

1168
01:05:34,800 --> 01:05:36,360
Grow. 
Run, run. 

1169
01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:39,840
Stop giving into that. 
Don't give into those lies. 

1170
01:05:39,840 --> 01:05:43,280
Don't give into that sin. 
He's calling you to himself and 

1171
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:48,120
he's saying my patience at times
it's seen in Scripture can run 

1172
01:05:48,120 --> 01:05:50,600
out. 
Don't take advantage of my 

1173
01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:56,080
patients, but receive my grace 
in this hour and you will be 

1174
01:05:56,080 --> 01:05:57,760
transferred. 
Amen. 

1175
01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:01,920
So, Father, thank you for this 
morning. 

1176
01:06:02,320 --> 01:06:04,560
Thank you for all the. 
Craziness that happened and I 

1177
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:07,520
just, I even thank you for that 
because I think it's just even a

1178
01:06:07,520 --> 01:06:10,800
glimpse of what it means when we
go through trials and like we're

1179
01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:13,160
inconvenienced by the trial. 
We're not. 

1180
01:06:13,160 --> 01:06:15,440
Seeing what you. 
Ultimately want to do and if we 

1181
01:06:15,440 --> 01:06:19,160
don't slow down and sometimes 
we're just seeing even and even 

1182
01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:21,320
hear people. 
Frantically running around the 

1183
01:06:21,320 --> 01:06:23,880
room like Oh my gosh, like it's 
like it was like the end of the 

1184
01:06:23,880 --> 01:06:27,600
world. 
And it's it all worked out like 

1185
01:06:28,080 --> 01:06:29,920
and just showing us just even as
a. 

1186
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:33,600
Really just even as a a small 
little picture. 

1187
01:06:33,800 --> 01:06:37,040
Of what it means when you come 
into our lives and want to speak

1188
01:06:37,040 --> 01:06:40,520
something and we're not willing 
to listen because we're, we have

1189
01:06:40,520 --> 01:06:43,240
our agenda. 
We have, we're focused on what 

1190
01:06:43,240 --> 01:06:46,120
we want in this life, the 
comforts in this life. 

1191
01:06:46,120 --> 01:06:48,080
We numb out and we want what we 
want. 

1192
01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:51,640
But ultimately, when we 
surrender, we can become like, 

1193
01:06:51,640 --> 01:06:54,160
marry and receive all that you 
have and be. 

1194
01:06:54,640 --> 01:06:58,200
Prepared and have the oil. 
In our lamp so that whatever 

1195
01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:02,440
comes our way we're ready to 
hear well done good my good and 

1196
01:07:02,440 --> 01:07:07,760
faithful servant come in to the 
joy of my house and we want to 

1197
01:07:07,760 --> 01:07:11,920
hear that So God, I just ask you
right now for every person in 

1198
01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:15,000
the room for every person in 
this room. 

1199
01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:20,600
You might just be having that 
like all of us are at times just

1200
01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:23,680
that stubbornness, that hard, 
hard just walking in the 

1201
01:07:23,680 --> 01:07:28,440
darkness and just we just ask 
you while there's light receive 

1202
01:07:29,720 --> 01:07:32,120
receive the light. 
He's saying that Jesus is saying

1203
01:07:32,120 --> 01:07:34,560
in this. 
Chapter It's the last time, he's

1204
01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:36,400
saying, and perhaps it'll be the
last time. 

1205
01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:39,960
For you to hear this. 
Walk in the light. 

1206
01:07:41,080 --> 01:07:46,520
Walk in the light while you have
the light otherwise. 

1207
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:49,520
You will walk in darkness for 
all of eternity. 

1208
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:54,880
God, I pray for those who've 
been believers for a long time 

1209
01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:57,640
or for a short time. 
Or for no time at all. 

1210
01:07:57,640 --> 01:08:01,120
I just pray that they would run 
to the light, that we would 

1211
01:08:01,120 --> 01:08:02,600
desire the light just as we 
desire. 

1212
01:08:02,600 --> 01:08:05,720
Just as we saw the lights go out
and we started opening up the 

1213
01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:07,880
doors, we just saw light come 
through. 

1214
01:08:08,160 --> 01:08:10,480
And it's just taking advantage 
of that light. 

1215
01:08:11,240 --> 01:08:14,200
Running to the light while we 
have light, while you're with 

1216
01:08:14,200 --> 01:08:16,760
us, while we have a pulse, while
we have life. 

1217
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:19,880
But we just ask you right now, 
in Jesus name, all across the 

1218
01:08:19,880 --> 01:08:23,479
room, Lord, we just pray. 
For salvation, we pray for that 

1219
01:08:23,479 --> 01:08:26,080
you'd sanctify us. 
We pray that we hear your voice 

1220
01:08:26,319 --> 01:08:28,680
and to walk with you no matter 
what comes our way. 

1221
01:08:28,880 --> 01:08:31,040
That we be a church that's in it
for the long haul. 

1222
01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:33,120
That we not be just in it for 
the short term. 

1223
01:08:33,279 --> 01:08:36,399
We not just be in it for our own
selfish game or just to just 

1224
01:08:36,399 --> 01:08:38,720
just to make a name for 
ourselves, whatever that might 

1225
01:08:38,720 --> 01:08:41,319
be, whether it's through albums 
or books or creativity or 

1226
01:08:41,319 --> 01:08:43,479
whatever. 
It is, God, that our life is not

1227
01:08:43,479 --> 01:08:45,600
about us. 
You came to give your life for 

1228
01:08:45,600 --> 01:08:46,880
us. 
That's why you were troubled. 

1229
01:08:47,080 --> 01:08:49,960
So that while you were troubled,
you'd say they might have peace,

1230
01:08:50,120 --> 01:08:52,560
they might have life. 
And we ask you for that now in 

1231
01:08:52,560 --> 01:08:54,840
the name of Jesus, God, we pray 
for life. 

1232
01:08:55,080 --> 01:08:58,359
We pray for life across the room
that we would be in this for the

1233
01:08:58,359 --> 01:09:00,479
long haul. 
We pray for prayer warriors to 

1234
01:09:00,479 --> 01:09:02,640
rise up and say we have not 
prayed enough. 

1235
01:09:02,840 --> 01:09:04,640
Forgive us, Lord, for not 
praying. 

1236
01:09:04,640 --> 01:09:07,120
I saw the Kims yesterday and 
they were praying soon as they 

1237
01:09:07,120 --> 01:09:09,120
got out of the car praying. 
Look Lord, make me a prayer 

1238
01:09:09,120 --> 01:09:11,680
warrior like them. 
We want to pray like them. 

1239
01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:14,880
We want to pray God. 
We ask you God for for more, for

1240
01:09:14,880 --> 01:09:17,560
more humility in our lives to 
receive all that you have 

1241
01:09:17,840 --> 01:09:20,359
praying. 
Wake us up God, May we not be 

1242
01:09:20,359 --> 01:09:21,760
spit and vomited out of your 
mouth. 

1243
01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:24,319
May we not be amongst the 
lukewarm of this city. 

1244
01:09:24,520 --> 01:09:26,479
God, will we be hot for you 
Jesus? 

1245
01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:30,840
May we be like on fire for you 
God, in Jesus name. 

1246
01:09:31,399 --> 01:09:34,439
In Jesus name. 
May there be a fire in US again,

1247
01:09:34,720 --> 01:09:37,399
a fire in US and never lose that
God. 

1248
01:09:37,439 --> 01:09:42,040
We, we ask you, God, that you'd 
drive away all lukewarmness out 

1249
01:09:42,040 --> 01:09:45,319
of this place. 
Lord, that that is normal, that 

1250
01:09:45,319 --> 01:09:48,520
it seems so normal to so many, 
but it's not normal to you. 

1251
01:09:48,520 --> 01:09:53,120
And we just say and like we just
ask you for a glimpse of the 

1252
01:09:53,120 --> 01:09:57,560
throne room of God that all 
across right now, just even 

1253
01:09:57,800 --> 01:10:00,560
churches, all across, how many 
churches have just paused and 

1254
01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:02,880
said, just God, give us a 
glimpse. 

1255
01:10:03,240 --> 01:10:07,160
Give us a glimpse of what's 
happening in heaven right now. 

1256
01:10:07,880 --> 01:10:11,040
There's no lukewarmness. 
The 24 elders who are around the

1257
01:10:11,040 --> 01:10:13,440
throne are. 
There's not one bit of 

1258
01:10:13,440 --> 01:10:16,400
lukewarmness of the angels 
who've been created literally 

1259
01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:20,400
for worship. 
Just as we're being created for 

1260
01:10:20,400 --> 01:10:22,560
worship. 
We've been created to worship 

1261
01:10:22,560 --> 01:10:27,080
you wholeheartedly, not lukewarm
wholeheartedly. 

1262
01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:31,920
We ask you right now, Jesus, we 
just pray that we would be able 

1263
01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:35,600
to hear your voice and we would 
not be like the crowd to just 

1264
01:10:35,600 --> 01:10:38,800
say always that Thunder and be 
distracted always. 

1265
01:10:38,800 --> 01:10:44,040
That may be an Angel, but is the
voice of God for our sakes, for 

1266
01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:49,680
our sake, for our sake. 
Jesus is pleading with you. 

1267
01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:55,560
This morning come into the life 
so that you may never walk in 

1268
01:10:55,560 --> 01:10:59,840
darkness ever again. 
And we ask you, Lord, that we 

1269
01:10:59,840 --> 01:11:03,240
would come. 
Let us come and worship you with

1270
01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:05,040
sound. 
No, sound doesn't matter. 

1271
01:11:05,040 --> 01:11:09,760
What matters is that one day the
lights are going to be shut off.

1272
01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:13,640
One day there will be a shout. 
Behold, he is here. 

1273
01:11:14,760 --> 01:11:17,200
Will we have oil? 
In our lamps. 

1274
01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:20,480
Or we'll be. 
Frantic in the end times, 

1275
01:11:20,480 --> 01:11:23,160
wondering is he real? 
What's going on? 

1276
01:11:23,440 --> 01:11:27,680
I spent too much time in my own 
pleasures and then it was too 

1277
01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:30,800
late. 
So how will he find us? 

1278
01:11:31,560 --> 01:11:34,960
Will he find us in worship? 
Will we find us in our own 

1279
01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:37,560
selfishness? 
Will He find us the day he comes

1280
01:11:37,560 --> 01:11:40,080
back? 
How will he find us? 

1281
01:11:41,080 --> 01:11:46,080
How will he find us? 
Church, How will he find you? 

1282
01:11:47,080 --> 01:11:50,640
How will he find you? 
Will he find you just building 

1283
01:11:50,640 --> 01:11:52,720
your own Kingdom? 
How will he find you? 

1284
01:11:53,240 --> 01:11:55,040
Will he find you serving his 
people? 

1285
01:11:55,280 --> 01:11:57,720
Will he find you worshipping? 
Will he find you with him? 

1286
01:11:57,720 --> 01:12:02,800
Will we find you with just evil 
and doing whatever you want and 

1287
01:12:02,800 --> 01:12:05,520
then saying Lord, Lord, and you 
have no oil. 

1288
01:12:06,800 --> 01:12:09,720
And we ask you God, that we 
would liquidate our lives. 

1289
01:12:10,600 --> 01:12:14,800
We liquidate our lives at the 
convenience store and we just 

1290
01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:18,120
say, Lord, take it all. 
We don't want just the lamps, we

1291
01:12:18,120 --> 01:12:20,840
want the oil. 
We might be prepared for your 

1292
01:12:20,840 --> 01:12:22,440
coming in Jesus name.
