1 00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:06,640 What a legacy, huh? Living for something that's 2 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:14,160 bigger than ourselves and understanding what a turning 3 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:18,600 point is. A definition of a turning point 4 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:23,160 in life is a significant event, decision, or experience that 5 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,840 causes a major shift in a person's life trajectory, 6 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,840 perspective, or direction. It's a moment after which things 7 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:36,560 are never quite the same, fundamentally altering the 8 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,680 future path. It involves A profound change in 9 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,040 a person's circumstances, such as career, relationships, 10 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,720 beliefs, or health. Once a turning point occurs, 11 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,040 there's usually no going back to the way things were before. 12 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:56,440 It often leads to a new path, a new set of priorities, and a new 13 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,800 understanding of oneself in the world. 14 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,880 While others might observe a change, the true impact is 15 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,720 deeply personal and felt by the individual. 16 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,440 Turning points, even those stemming from difficult 17 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:15,160 situations like a crisis or a loss, often serve as catalysts 18 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:19,480 for personal growth, resilience, or self discovery. 19 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,720 I'm sure this event has impacted your lives. 20 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:29,800 I know it's impacted mine. It's 74 years old. 21 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,560 Most guys my age are thinking about retiring and shutting up 22 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,080 pastors. We did our thing and we just 23 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:41,840 fade into the sunset. But I feel as I do along with 24 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:46,720 the rest of the leadership, this is a pivotal time for our church 25 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:52,640 as well as our community, our county, our state, our country 26 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:57,840 in the world. And so our Savior Jesus Christ 27 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:03,280 in Matthew chapter 5 began a turning point when the greatest 28 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,720 sermon that was ever preached in the world, the Beatitudes. 29 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,160 So I'm going to read these verses and as I read them, think 30 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,320 about them in your own heart. What do they mean to you? 31 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,160 What does it cause you to think about? 32 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:23,240 How might you be in the process of change, wanting to live these 33 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,920 powerful truths out instead of reading them and just thinking 34 00:02:26,920 --> 00:02:30,480 about them? How can I be more like what 35 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,640 Jesus is wanting us to be? Let's pray. 36 00:02:33,640 --> 00:02:37,920 Father God, we thank you this morning for your Holy Spirit 37 00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:43,000 who's with us, speaking to us, Lord, in the building online, on 38 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,640 YouTube, Facebook, whatever other media that you allow us to 39 00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:52,000 use to get the word out. We ask you today, God, for your 40 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,200 favor and your grace to speak to each of us as individuals and as 41 00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:00,600 a church, what it is you want us to do moving forward in the days 42 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,960 ahead. That we would get the gospel out 43 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,960 of the building and into the streets, into the marketplace, 44 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:12,520 into the political arena, Lord, into the neighborhood and the 45 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,600 communities we live in, into our workplaces. 46 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,520 And that Lord, we would be salt and light as you tell us in the 47 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,240 section of Scriptures. Lord, bless your people today. 48 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,120 Encourage them. Encourage husbands and wives to 49 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,880 have conversations with their children that they would have a 50 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:34,720 biblical worldview that as they go into the public school that 51 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:40,280 they would have the ability to have a turning point choice not 52 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:45,080 to go this with the culture, but to go with your teachings. 53 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:49,720 Lord, from your word. Change our lives, Lord, change 54 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,760 our hearts, change our minds to make us like you. 55 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,600 Jesus, we know that your will and we thank you in advance for 56 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,440 what it is you're doing and will continually do in the days 57 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,880 ahead. And we pray these things in 58 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:07,080 Jesus name, Amen. And seeing the multitudes, he 59 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:12,080 went up into a mountain, and when he was set, his disciples 60 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:16,480 came unto him, and he opened his mouth and taught them, saying, 61 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,279 Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of 62 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,880 heaven. Blessed are they that mourn, for 63 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,720 they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they 64 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,680 shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they which do hunger 65 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,440 and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled. 66 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,160 Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. 67 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,200 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. 68 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,960 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the 69 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,000 children of God. Blessed are they which are 70 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,680 persecuted for righteousness sake, for theirs is the Kingdom 71 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,080 of heaven. Blessed are you when men shall 72 00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:01,240 revive you and persecute you, and shall say all men are of 73 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:05,880 evil against you falsely for my sake rejoice and be exceedingly 74 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:10,760 glad, for great is your reward in heaven for so persecuted they 75 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,040 the prophets which were before you. 76 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,600 You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt have lost its 77 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,360 savour, wherewith shall it be salted. 78 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,320 It is therefore good for nothing but to be cast out, and to be 79 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,880 trodden under foot of men. You are the light of the world. 80 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:32,120 A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid, neither do men 81 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:37,200 Light a candle and put it under a bushel, but on a Candlestick, 82 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,640 and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 83 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:45,840 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good 84 00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:50,280 works and glorify your Father, which is in heaven. 85 00:05:50,280 --> 00:05:53,680 Amen. That's what we're called to do. 86 00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:00,440 It's Jesus and His gospel, the Good News and the focus today 87 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,920 and every day that we gather at Calvary Chapel. 88 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:07,040 Our worship gathering His, His Word and how His Word can change 89 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,960 our lives. Many of our lives have been 90 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,280 changed and are being changed because of the simple teaching 91 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,160 of the Bible through the men and women in this church that 92 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,560 faithfully teach the Bible weekly to the people that they 93 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,880 love and care about. Salt and light. 94 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:31,920 I have been convicted since this event happened that how much 95 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:36,560 salt is coming out of my life and how much light is being 96 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:41,200 manifest from my life and the questions I asked myself and I 97 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:45,520 asked you today. Are we salt and light outside 98 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,240 this particular building in this ministry, in this church? 99 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,840 Do we look for opportunities in our conversations with people to 100 00:06:54,840 --> 00:06:59,360 be salt and light? Or are we intimidated and 101 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:05,160 fearful or feel unable to express our convictions? 102 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,360 That's one of the big challenges I think we have as Christians. 103 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,880 If you turn to Isaiah 6, if you have a Bible, turn there. 104 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:20,440 If you don't, that's OK. Isaiah had a turning point and a 105 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,080 vision. In this chapter. 106 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,640 Isaiah is believed that he was somewhere between the ages of 18 107 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,280 and 21. It's interesting how God chooses 108 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:35,080 to work with young people. Young people impact old people 109 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,000 and old people are to impact young people. 110 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,120 It works both ways. But Isaiah, he had this vision. 111 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,160 The king had died. He was a good king. 112 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:50,000 He stood for moral convictions and right type of leadership and 113 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,320 government and his reign as one of the good kings in Israel at 114 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,400 the time. And he died and it says in the 115 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:02,320 first verse of chapter 6, in the year the king Uzziah died, I saw 116 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:06,440 the Lord sitting upon a throne high and lifted up and his train 117 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,240 filled the temple. The anytime you have a personal 118 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:16,960 encounter with Jesus, you and him one-on-one could be praying, 119 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,440 it could be in a church environment, it could be 120 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,880 anywhere where God, this begins to move in your life in a way 121 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:24,920 that you've never experienced him before. 122 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,920 When that happens, it's intimidating because we always 123 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,360 usually look at ourselves among ourselves and say why I'm just 124 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,240 as good as this person or I'm not as bad as that person. 125 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:40,600 So I'm cool, everything's good with me and God, right until you 126 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,640 have this kind of encounter. And you'll see now as we begin 127 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,280 to get into this, what happened to Isaiah is he had this 128 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:53,440 experience, tremendous vision, seeing heaven as it was in the 129 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,400 next dimension. Above it stood the seraphims. 130 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,800 Each had six wings. With two he covered his face, 131 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,040 with two he covered his feet. And with two he did fly. 132 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:09,120 Boy, what a wild vision, huh? Can you imagine seeing something 133 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,200 like that? And one cried unto another and 134 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:16,240 said, holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts. 135 00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:19,080 The whole earth is full of his glory. 136 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,760 That's what's going on in heaven right now. 137 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:27,280 This worship and this tremendous chorus of angels always singing 138 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,520 before the throne of the Most High God. 139 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,880 Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of host. 140 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,000 And the post of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, 141 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,640 and the house was filled with smoke. 142 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,360 There was this atmosphere of God's glory that was so 143 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:49,320 overwhelming for Isaiah that he didn't know how to respond other 144 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,720 than what he said in verse 5. He said then said, I woe is me, 145 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:58,760 for I am undone because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell 146 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,040 in the midst of a people of unclean lips. 147 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,000 For my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts. 148 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:15,000 When you are before this great throne of God as an individual 149 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,520 human being, you begin to see yourself as you really are. 150 00:10:19,560 --> 00:10:22,520 You think you're clean and righteous and you got it all 151 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,240 together. And all of a sudden you realize, 152 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:29,640 man, I am messed up. And God's grace and His mercy is 153 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,960 so kind and so patient and so good. 154 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,200 And he, he allows us to see ourselves as we are, not to 155 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,800 depress us or destroy us, but to help us to see that there's so 156 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,600 much he wants to do in our lives to make us more like Jesus. 157 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,320 And that's a one-on-one thing. Whenever you begin to see 158 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,480 yourself this way, you want God to cleanse you, you want to 159 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,920 repent, you want to make amends, you want to be reconciled to God 160 00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:02,520 at times and to others and family and people. 161 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,640 You may be offended in your life, whatever all of a sudden 162 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,120 like your life is before you. And you say, I wish I wouldn't 163 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,560 have done that. I wish I wouldn't have said 164 00:11:11,560 --> 00:11:13,560 that. I wish I wouldn't have acted 165 00:11:13,560 --> 00:11:16,240 that way. I wish I wish I would have been 166 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,360 more open to what God wanted for me instead of being too busy for 167 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,320 what it was that God was telling me He created me for. 168 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:27,560 We all are the same. And I encourage you to ask God 169 00:11:27,560 --> 00:11:30,840 to give you an encounter with Him if you haven't had one like 170 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,520 that yet. Because first of all, when you 171 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,720 do, it'll cause you to believe that you need a Savior, you're a 172 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,760 Sinner, and you need someone to help you out of the problem that 173 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,160 you're in because of what your sin has done to you and to 174 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,120 others. God Forgives sin. 175 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,680 He cleanses us as we come and ask Him for forgiveness. 176 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,120 And if you're a believer and you've gotten cold maybe or 177 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,240 lukewarm. And that happens to all of us, 178 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,240 including pastors. You can just say, Lord, this is 179 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,920 a fresh start. This is a new turning point. 180 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,880 I see things from a different vantage point now. 181 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,160 And because of that, what I'm living for and how I'm living is 182 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,280 going to be changed dramatically. 183 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,840 You're going to begin to be the priority of my life and not 184 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,960 everything else that I allow to become the priority of my life. 185 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,000 And God is so good. He's so patient, so merciful. 186 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:23,400 So he has this experience. Then God in his mercy in verse 187 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:27,120 6, then flew one of the seraphim's under me, having a 188 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,760 live coal in his hand, which he had taken off from the tongs of 189 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,480 the altar. He laid it on my mouth and said, 190 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:38,560 lo, this has touched your lips and your iniquity is taken away 191 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:43,200 and your sin is purged. So I don't know about you, but 192 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,760 like I am so at times like why am I? 193 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:51,800 Why am I up here today like, Lord, why are you allowing me to 194 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,200 do what it is you are allowing me to do, to talk to these 195 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,000 wonderful people that you've created, that you love so much, 196 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,120 knowing what I am and where I've come from? 197 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,280 But the good news is, is that God isn't looking for perfect 198 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:10,440 people. Charlie Kirk wasn't perfect for 199 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,320 sure. We know our president isn't 200 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,280 perfect. I know I'm not perfect. 201 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:22,320 But God uses imperfect people to perfect his will and his 202 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,320 Kingdom. And So what happened was he's 203 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,840 purified, he's refined, he's cleansed. 204 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:33,080 So he's at one point like, man, I can't do anything, certainly 205 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,720 can't be used by you God, because I'm such a a 206 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,720 knucklehead. And then all the sudden he has 207 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,080 this revival in his heart. He knows he's OK with God now 208 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:46,240 and he hears this voice of the Lord saying, whom shall I send 209 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,400 and who will go for us? Question mark for all of us 210 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:50,920 today. And we had this last week a 211 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:56,240 little bit we talked about it. Here am I Lord send me. 212 00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:02,240 And he said, go and tell this people here and indeed, but they 213 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:07,360 probably won't understand much and see indeed, but they won't 214 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,600 perceive. So that's a challenge we have as 215 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,640 believers. We are in a culture war. 216 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:18,160 We're in a environment where most people have a worldview 217 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:23,280 that's anti God against God, Pagan, ungodly. 218 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,040 And they really don't have a lot of patience for us, nor do they 219 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,560 like us. We have to understand that 220 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:35,600 that's a reality. So how do we go into the world 221 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:42,040 to preach the gospel with grace and with love and care about 222 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,880 people that really don't like us and don't have the time of day 223 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:46,720 for us? Now, if we're going out there 224 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,120 thinking we're better than everyone else, and that's the 225 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:53,080 wrong, don't even start right. But if you go out and you 226 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,040 realize like these people were like you at one time, they can't 227 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:57,880 see, they don't understand, they're lost. 228 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,840 They need to hear the good news in order to believe the good 229 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,240 news. And who's going to tell them the 230 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:07,680 good news? So as you think about this, in 231 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,600 lieu of what Isaiah said, here am I, send me. 232 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,880 Maybe today you're going to say, Lord, here am I send me. 233 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,760 First of all, how do you share your faith in love, not 234 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,440 judgement, planting seeds and giving people things to 235 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,000 consider. Charlie was a master at having 236 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:29,560 conversations with people and dialogue to get him to think a 237 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:33,560 little bit differently. And because of that work of the 238 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:38,000 Holy Spirit through that man's life many times liberal college 239 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:42,120 students, high school students, people like us that maybe saw 240 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,760 the podcast that didn't know the Lord maybe at one time all the 241 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,320 sudden said I never thought about life that way. 242 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:54,000 That makes sense and send our views begin to change and then 243 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:58,200 eventually our hearts become open to hearing the gospel. 244 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:03,000 And so our job is to help hurting people and invite them 245 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:07,520 to a a relationship with Jesus Christ, invite them to church 246 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,000 and they might say no, but don't ever give up asking people to 247 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,480 come and hear the gospel and hear the word of God. 248 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:20,200 Encourage these high school club America leaders, which we'll 249 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,640 have one speaking here in a few moments. 250 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,480 Morgan from Latrobe High School, she's out there with a table 251 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,800 with a lot of cool buttons and pens where you can get involved 252 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:35,680 and find out more about what she's doing by the power of God 253 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,840 on the high school campus. Along with students at Norwin, 254 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:45,760 Penn Trafford, Hempfield, Ligonier, Greensburg, Salem, 255 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,360 many, many high schools and more and more are signing up to have 256 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,200 Club America's in. It's amazing what God's doing 257 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:57,280 through these young people. We want to meet and pray and 258 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:01,680 encourage Morgan today. She's here as well as others to 259 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,560 use the resources that we provide through Calvary Chapel 260 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:09,800 and Grace FM 91.7 that we can interview them, that we can have 261 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:14,200 them tell their story and invite their constituents and people 262 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,760 that go to school with them to get involved in their wonderful 263 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,119 camps and groups and things that they do in their high school 264 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,839 campuses. We need to vote. 265 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,800 As Kerry said, we need to know the platform of the candidates 266 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,160 and we have the voter registration guides so you can 267 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:39,080 vote biblical platforms that are for the truths of the Word of 268 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:43,320 God in regard to pro-life and other issues that are very, very 269 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:47,040 important to the Lord and to what the Word of God teaches us. 270 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:51,160 We need to know who's running and why we're going to vote. 271 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,160 I don't have to tell you who to vote for and you don't have to 272 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,080 tell me who to vote for. You should know who you should 273 00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,880 vote for based upon knowing what their platform is and what they 274 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:02,880 believe and what their convictions are. 275 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,800 I was told at the meeting that I spoke at over at the Hempfield 276 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,680 Park by some of the leaders of Turning Point, the 30% of 277 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,560 Christians didn't vote in the last election and 20% of gun 278 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,600 owners didn't vote. That's shocking, isn't it? 279 00:18:18,120 --> 00:18:23,040 Can you imagine if you get those folks voting for moral causes 280 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,240 and values that the Lord has given us through His word, how 281 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,360 different our society could be and would be? 282 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,320 Maybe you need to run for office. 283 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,640 Maybe you need to be active in your local school boards. 284 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,120 Maybe you need to show up at the meetings and pray and encourage 285 00:18:39,120 --> 00:18:43,240 those who are there that are on the same page as the Lords word 286 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:49,320 of Word of God and then pray individually as a community and 287 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,880 nationally. Fred Warnbrock's going to help 288 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,320 do some training in regard to our meeting and I'll talk about 289 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,600 that. Our first turning point meeting 290 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,360 to to study our Constitution and understand our rights as 291 00:19:02,360 --> 00:19:04,840 citizens and how we can be salt and light. 292 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,720 How we can get into conversations with people and 293 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:11,120 engage them to think about their need of a Savior. 294 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:17,720 We will have prayer guides on platforms of Pennsylvania and we 295 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,640 will have prayer guides for every other state in America. 296 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,440 So you will know what other states are dealing with in 297 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:27,760 regard to liberal ideologies that are circumventing the truth 298 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,440 of the Word of God and know how to pray for these other States 299 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:36,000 and leaders. As family and parents, it's 300 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:40,480 important to teach your children the truths of the Word of God 301 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,560 and to help them maneuver a culture that is going to try to 302 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:48,480 teach them and train them to rebel against the Word of God 303 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,800 and learn to be humble, turning from what you know needs to 304 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,160 change in your own life. There's things since all this 305 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,760 has happened that the Lord has tapped me in the shoulder, say, 306 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,120 Clark, this area needs to go in your life. 307 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,600 This needs to be thought about differently. 308 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,240 These judgments need to be put down. 309 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:11,560 These love and these opportunities to be a better 310 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,800 husband, a better father, a better grandfather, a better 311 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,760 son-in-law, a better brother-in-law, all these better 312 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:22,320 son, all these different hats I wear, a better employee for the 313 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,200 companies that I work for, a better pastor. 314 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:29,320 To you guys, these are things that the Lord is causing me to 315 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,760 wrestle after. So the benefits of being 316 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:38,120 involved as a collaborative partner with Turning Point Faith 317 00:20:38,120 --> 00:20:41,680 is churches like ours. Many Calvary chapels are already 318 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,240 involved, many more signing up as we speak. 319 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,840 I have communication with Jack Hibbs at Chino Hills to get some 320 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,600 direction and help as we maneuver this a little 321 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,520 differently than we have in the past. 322 00:20:55,040 --> 00:21:00,400 We want to teach one another how to stand for biblical truth, how 323 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:04,920 to combat cultural compromises, and pray for a God centered 324 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,720 revival on our nation. There'll be citizenship classes, 325 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:13,480 national faith tours, faith leadership summits, and a lot of 326 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,320 other things that we can be involved in to live out the 327 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,800 Great Commission. The Lord wants us to go into all 328 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,200 the world and preach the gospel to every living creature. 329 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,560 One of the problems of where we are in our country as a culture 330 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:31,520 that has unfortunately been not as focused upon in in many of 331 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:35,080 our lives as Christians. And now's the time to be 332 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,360 involved. Not tomorrow, next week, next 333 00:21:37,360 --> 00:21:41,680 month, maybe next year, but today is the day to be involved. 334 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,680 The harvest is plenty old, plentiful, Jesus says, but the 335 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,080 laborers are few. Lewis has been so eloquently 336 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,680 teaching us the importance of being doers of the word and not 337 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,560 hearers only in the book of James. 338 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,320 You ever notice like how you can say Amen and listen to sermons 339 00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:01,240 and and then go out the door and nothing changes next week that 340 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:02,480 happens. We're human, right? 341 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,840 But like the Lord, show us how to apply these things in real 342 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:07,920 life circumstances and situations. 343 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,160 All of us. And that's what our training 344 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,320 will be involved in. We need to understand that 345 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,800 there's a lot of people that don't know Jesus. 346 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:21,280 We need to understand that the LBGTQ agenda is very well 347 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,880 organized and very focused on accomplishing their agenda. 348 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:29,000 We need to know how to counter that in love in a biblical way. 349 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,840 There's people that are homeless that need help, there's sex 350 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:37,240 trafficking happening in our country and our own communities. 351 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,240 There's people that are worshipping Satan, and there's 352 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,640 people that think the church now is irrelevant and so they don't 353 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,520 attend anymore. And that's one of the worst 354 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,080 things that can be happening right now. 355 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:51,120 We want to be a church that is relevant so when people come not 356 00:22:51,120 --> 00:22:54,520 only they hear truth but they learn how to apply the truth and 357 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:58,280 live it out in everyday life. We need to do this to protect 358 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,240 our children and our grandchildren. 359 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:04,440 As I said, we need to know how to to vote biblically. 360 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:09,160 So who can be involved in this? Anybody that is attending here 361 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,520 or listening online or curious or interested, you can get 362 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:16,160 involved in this small group. One part of our ministry, we 363 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,080 have many ministries at Calvary Chapel. 364 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,200 We're praying that somehow we'll be able to connect with the 365 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,320 prisoners at the West Morning County Prison. 366 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:28,840 All the listeners on Grace FM, this goes out live right now on 367 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,560 the air as we're preaching the word. 368 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,480 And so when are we going to get together? 369 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:40,120 The first meeting will be Tuesday, November 4th at 7:00 in 370 00:23:40,120 --> 00:23:44,000 the social hall, fellowship hall, and we'll probably be 371 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,240 doing that once a month, the first Tuesday of the month if 372 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,720 everybody agrees on that being a good time to get together. 373 00:23:51,360 --> 00:23:53,360 Some people say, well, what am I signing up for? 374 00:23:53,360 --> 00:23:56,360 What do I have to do? All you have to do is follow 375 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:57,920 Jesus. That's all you got to do. 376 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,360 And so there's not more work or you know where you expect you to 377 00:24:01,360 --> 00:24:03,720 do this or do that. Just live out your life and be 378 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,600 salt and light. That's all you got to do, right? 379 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:10,440 And share ideas and share ways that we can be more effective in 380 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,240 our community. Get engaged. 381 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,840 What's exciting about this is, is that last week 22 people 382 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:23,400 signed up to get involved in this as a as a, as a group. 383 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:28,120 And the four specific people that I already see as dynamic 384 00:24:28,120 --> 00:24:31,480 leaders that'll help us understand how to do this in the 385 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,960 culture. Kerry's been involved in the 386 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,200 political arena for a long time. She's very passionate. 387 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,640 She kept trying to drag me into this stuff the last five years. 388 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,200 And I said, well, I'm busy. I can't, you know, we can't go 389 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:45,720 at all. Kind of flimsy excuses. 390 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,080 But she loved me anyway and prayed and didn't leave the 391 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,400 church state here. And, and, and she, I know she's 392 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:51,840 want to jump in out of her skin now. 393 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:53,520 She never dreamed this would be happening. 394 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,920 Amy Kirkland, you know, I can see passion in her life. 395 00:24:59,960 --> 00:25:03,920 All the people that signed up, Fred, he's a retired Lieutenant 396 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,320 Colonel from the Air Force. This guy's no joke, and we're 397 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,200 fortunate to have him here. He's also an intercessor with 398 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,640 Calvary here on Thursday nights. But also him and Mary Ellen are 399 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,320 intercessors for everything that's happening all across the 400 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,800 country in the world. So he'll be able to give us 401 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,680 information and how to pray so we know what to pray for. 402 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:29,200 So the next steps are, as you think about this today, pray 403 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:33,080 about your possible desire to be involved somehow. 404 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:35,880 You can ask us questions, whatever. 405 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,720 There's sign up sheets in the lobbies you leave down by the 406 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:41,800 offering and same thing in the back. 407 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,120 And Fred will be at one door, I'll be at the other along with 408 00:25:45,120 --> 00:25:46,880 some of the other leaders and pastors. 409 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,960 Pray for a boldness that will not be intimidated, that we'll 410 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,720 be able to to share the good news with people without 411 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,840 compromise. That's really, really important 412 00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:03,160 be praying about how you can mobilize others and other 413 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,960 churches in in the community that need to be involved in this 414 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:12,200 for such a time as this. The the beautiful thing about 415 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:18,920 the work of the Holy Spirit is that none of us are beyond God 416 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:23,280 using right? All of us are able to be used. 417 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:30,000 I guess the challenge for all of us, though, is that are we 418 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,280 afraid? Are we concerned about people 419 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:40,120 not liking us? Are we afraid of persecution or 420 00:26:40,120 --> 00:26:44,200 or whatever? Erica said something about 421 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:49,200 Charlie, which impressed me, something I got to pray and work 422 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,000 on. I like people to like me. 423 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,680 I like you guys to be happy. Is everybody happy here? 424 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,120 Well, probably maybe 80% are happy at 20%. 425 00:26:57,120 --> 00:26:58,600 What's that guy talking about up there? 426 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,720 But I can't worry about like what you think of me or, you 427 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:04,040 know, this prayer, You pray for me. 428 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,640 I'm not here for a popularity contest. 429 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,400 I'm here to be faithful to God, right? 430 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:12,000 So Erica said Charlie had a lot of good friends and when he 431 00:27:12,120 --> 00:27:15,240 began to get engaged in the culture wars and speak out 432 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,000 against it, he he lost a lot of friends. 433 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:19,960 But she said it never bothered him. 434 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,880 He just kept doing what he knew God told him to do. 435 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:28,920 Now there's there's contrary or conflict comments about Charlie 436 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:30,640 and some of the ways he communicated. 437 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,400 At times it offended some people. 438 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:34,760 Some people thought he was a racist. 439 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,000 Well, he wasn't a racist, but maybe the way he answered a 440 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,280 question once in a while, maybe it sounded like he was, but he 441 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,840 wasn't. He had African Americans in his 442 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,000 team. And Vodi Bakkam, one of the 443 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,760 great preachers of the word of God, good reform guy, died 444 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,920 recently. He is in the training on how to 445 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:56,120 deal with this issue of racism and white and black and all this 446 00:27:56,120 --> 00:27:59,640 baloney stuff that's separating and dividing people because of 447 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:04,400 woke culture right. So that that was not true or 448 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,680 thinking women were subservient to men. 449 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,680 There's no way all the women that are involved in turning 450 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:15,240 point Morgan here today, Erica running the organization and I 451 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:20,240 would listen to her last couple lectures at the at the Missouri 452 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,840 University of Missouri. She spoke and Vance spoke. 453 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:29,000 He tried to answer questions like CC did a good job and she 454 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,160 shared the reason why we're doing what we're doing. 455 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:40,240 Our answer isn't in Washington and it isn't in politics. 456 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,000 Very clearly stated. It's in the Lord. 457 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,160 We need the Word of God. We need the Lord as front and 458 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,240 Center for everything we do. Keep that in mind. 459 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:55,840 Keep that as your focus and and the noise. 460 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:59,440 Don't listen to the noise. I mean, some of these scandalous 461 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:03,280 things that are being said to to try to destroy turning point is 462 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,120 is ridiculous. You know, on YouTube Annette, 463 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,000 just turn off the noise. Keep your eyes on Jesus and do 464 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,280 what you know he tells you to do from his word. 465 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,400 Amen. Morgan, if you could come up 466 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,040 that's welcome. Morgan from Lake Trout of high 467 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:25,000 school, he's going to share some things. 468 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,360 How she got involved, why she got involved. 469 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,520 Tell us what the push backs are, all that stuff you know. 470 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,760 Hi everyone, happy Sunday. I'm Morgan Glessner and I'm 16 471 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:37,520 years old. I'm vice president of Turning 472 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:41,240 Point Westmoreland. My jersey to my journey to Jesus 473 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,880 started from a very young age. I have everyone in my family to 474 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:45,920 thank for that. Every Sunday I would go to 475 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,520 church not far from here and as a young girl I sometimes didn't 476 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,400 understand at all. As I got younger through COVID, 477 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,120 honestly my faith kind of fell off. 478 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,720 I started my own faith journey to better my relationship with 479 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,720 God by reading my Bible, watching online church, and 480 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:00,840 praying. I would like to call my 481 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,920 relationship to God my coming back and my coming back my 482 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,480 turning point. Turning Point has very true that 483 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,000 he brought me across the closer to God. 484 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:12,040 I started with Turning Point USA because I enjoy discussing with 485 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,240 people about what is happening in our country and I strongly 486 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,640 encourage anyone who is in high school or college to take a 487 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:19,840 current issues class. That's where I started. 488 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,920 The best way I like to describe Turning Point is people with 489 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:26,200 conservative religious values. I do not agree with people 490 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:27,600 hating someone on the other side. 491 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,560 I encourage the opposition because I enjoy others opinions 492 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,520 as long as we are with God. In my chapter at Latrobe, I 493 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,000 helped run the chapter with my best friend Mateo. 494 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,400 We first thought about creating a chapter towards the end of 495 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,320 last school year. We got approved in July this 496 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,120 summer. We currently only have 25 497 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,960 students even though we just started, which is fantastic. 498 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,160 I have friends who have opposite opinions and they don't agree 499 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:55,440 with it, but I continue with how I am and many of the people in 500 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,440 the club have very full schedules. 501 00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,000 I do my best to go to as many events as I can. 502 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,760 People my age will be the newest ones to vote in this next 503 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,440 election. Please everyone vote on Tuesday. 504 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:10,280 As Pastor Clark and Kerry said already, I encourage that anyone 505 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,600 my age educate yourself on how the world works and enjoy 506 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,360 enjoying Turning Point. We are not one for just 507 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,440 political for just one political party. 508 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,880 If you are interested in joining, please come talk to me. 509 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,080 Even if you were just wanting to know what we're about going to 510 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,520 the Turning Point website and have amazing resources about 511 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,840 anything government. I can also talk to anyone if you 512 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:32,720 need help. If you're willing to learn about 513 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,160 what's happening in the world, this is for you because we're 514 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,480 not just for one. I know I dragged on, but I'm 515 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,080 extremely excited for Calvary to join the Turning Point faith 516 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,240 community. This, this organization does 517 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,200 amazing things and it has done many things for me, brought me 518 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:50,080 amazing opportunities and opinions and people for me to 519 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,520 talk to and things for me to talk talk to people about other 520 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,880 opinions. If anyone has any questions I'll 521 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,360 be out in the lobby with collectibles from Turning Point 522 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,680 and I have a bunch of pamphlets and I want to thank everyone for 523 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:05,200 letting me talk and talk about what I'm interested in. 524 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:13,680 Morgan, come on over here for a second. 525 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,960 Thank you for your boldness and what you're doing for Jesus. 526 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:21,720 Your labor is not in vain in the Lord Father God, we're inspired 527 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:27,640 by this young woman's life, her wisdom at a young age, her 528 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:31,320 insights, and what she understands to be true because 529 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,480 of you, Jesus living in her heart. 530 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,040 I pray you would bless her and use her mightily. 531 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,080 In Latrobe High School.

So let's let's do this together. 593 00:36:33,720 --> 00:36:36,800 It's interesting, I think about that night he he did do this 594 00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:40,760 supper and he knew he was going to die for what he believed and 595 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,320 what he was teaching. And he also knew that his 596 00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:47,040 closest followers that were with him were mostly going to end 597 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:50,960 their lives the same way. I'm so thankful that I'm not in 598 00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:56,000 Nigeria where they're martyring Christians and killing people of 599 00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:00,000 any kind of religious faith. And President Trump is getting 600 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,440 the Pentagon to get involved and get involved in that country 601 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,040 because this shouldn't be happening anywhere in the world, 602 00:37:06,240 --> 00:37:09,160 that people can't have freedom of religion, right? 603 00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:13,440 And so we pray for these dear sisters and brothers in Nigeria 604 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:15,800 this morning, as well as ourselves. 605 00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:19,280 And thank God that we are in a country that we still have the 606 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,000 freedom to do what we're doing today. 607 00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,320 That's not normal in most places in the world, right? 608 00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:28,560 Father, we are thankful today and for all that you're teaching 609 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:32,360 us what you're doing in US, and we are so grateful that we can 610 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:36,480 be representing you on this planet for such a time as this. 611 00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:40,200 We ask for God that you would be glorified in everything that 612 00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:45,960 we're endeavoring to do for you and your Kingdom for sake of one 613 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:49,360 another and our country. We pray, Lord, as we take the 614 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,520 supper today, that maybe there's a little deeper meaning because 615 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:57,560 we see things maybe a little bit clearer as to what is being 616 00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:02,040 required of us as your people, that we would sacrifice 617 00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:06,680 ourselves and meaning that we would surrender our will to your 618 00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:11,520 will so that your will would be done in our lives instead of our 619 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,480 own. And we praise you and we thank 620 00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:16,240 you for what you've done for us, Lord. 621 00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:20,080 And the night that Jesus was betrayed, he took the bread in 622 00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:21,120 his hands. He broke it. 623 00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:24,080 He gave thanks. He said, take, eat, this is My 624 00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:28,200 body which is given for you. Eat this in remembrance of me. 625 00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:39,600 In the same manner, in that evening he took the cup and he 626 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:44,200 said this cup is a new covenant in My blood which was shed for 627 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:49,400 the forgiveness of sins of many. Drink this in remembrance of me. 628 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,400 As often as we eat this spread together and we drink this cup, 629 00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,440 we show forth the Lord's death till he comes again. 630 00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,440 Amen. God bless you guys. 631 00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:11,040 I also wanted to shoot.
