1
00:00:05,300 --> 00:00:16,300
Father. 
God, we, we love you and as we 

2
00:00:16,300 --> 00:00:23,100
have done so much in past days 
and weeks, we just cry out to 

3
00:00:23,100 --> 00:00:27,600
you. 
We cry out for strength. 

4
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,700
Kraut for for mercy and for 
Grace. 

5
00:00:33,900 --> 00:00:35,900
We know that you're good to give
it. 

6
00:00:37,500 --> 00:00:43,100
God, we love you so much and we 
love Colin Patricia and their 

7
00:00:43,100 --> 00:00:49,500
family so much. 
Lord, I pray that you just as 

8
00:00:49,500 --> 00:00:54,000
you have already done continued 
to just pour out your love on 

9
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,300
this church and all these 
people, and all this family. 

10
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,600
I pray, God, that you give us 
the strength to continue to 

11
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,000
surround him with the love that 
they need the support that they 

12
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,400
need. 
I pray that you give us wisdom 

13
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:14,500
in the days to come, give us 
strength to know how to carry 

14
00:01:14,500 --> 00:01:17,900
on, in the midst of grief, as 
Kyle has already said we know we

15
00:01:17,900 --> 00:01:23,100
can't just shut down and stop 
that we continue to praise you 

16
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,600
though. 
You slay us no matter what 

17
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,100
comes. 
We're always going to praise you

18
00:01:27,100 --> 00:01:28,900
for it. 
We give you all the glory. 

19
00:01:28,900 --> 00:01:32,700
All the honor. 
We know that you're good as was 

20
00:01:32,700 --> 00:01:36,100
discussed yesterday. 
We know that in this You were 

21
00:01:36,100 --> 00:01:39,500
working together all things for 
the good of those who love those

22
00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:42,500
who love you. 
God, we trust you in that. 

23
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,700
Now, I ask you now that you be 
with us this morning, you speak 

24
00:01:46,700 --> 00:01:52,700
to us through your word and that
you speak through a bumbling 

25
00:01:52,700 --> 00:01:55,800
idiot. 
God, we love you. 

26
00:01:56,300 --> 00:02:00,400
We Praise You. 
In Jesus Name, you have your 

27
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:05,700
Bibles turn to Acts chapter 2. 
Want to read a passage to you 

28
00:02:05,700 --> 00:02:14,100
from there? 
We have been going through a 

29
00:02:14,100 --> 00:02:17,800
series titled. 
What happens when we worship and

30
00:02:19,300 --> 00:02:21,300
we have been looking at a couple
of different things. 

31
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:28,400
Kyle started this series and 
pointed out in the beginning 

32
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:33,200
that we are created to worship. 
That's what we were made to do. 

33
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,900
Every aspect of Our Lives. 
Should be an act of worship to 

34
00:02:37,900 --> 00:02:39,600
God. 
The Father, everything we do the

35
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,700
way we conduct ourselves that 
our jobs, the way we raise our 

36
00:02:42,700 --> 00:02:46,300
family. 
So way we drive in traffic, it 

37
00:02:46,300 --> 00:02:48,700
should all be an act of worship 
to God. 

38
00:02:49,700 --> 00:02:55,600
He followed up with a couple of 
other things that happen when we

39
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,800
worship, we become what we 
behold. 

40
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:06,100
And we meet with God, he talked 
about how worship is not meant 

41
00:03:06,100 --> 00:03:09,300
to be done alone, that it's 
meant to be done corporately 

42
00:03:09,300 --> 00:03:14,300
with our family, with our church
family together and only done in

43
00:03:14,300 --> 00:03:15,900
that way. 
Can it be done properly? 

44
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,300
And then last week James pointed
out the Dual nature of worship 

45
00:03:22,700 --> 00:03:26,800
So today I want to end this 
series with another idea. 

46
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,800
Another thing that happens when 
we worship, and it is the, the 

47
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:35,000
title of the sermon today, it's 
that God, unites his people when

48
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:40,500
we worship together, when we 
come together and we worship 

49
00:03:40,500 --> 00:03:45,700
together as a family, God, 
unites his people If you are 

50
00:03:45,700 --> 00:03:49,500
able, would you please stand as 
we now read? 

51
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:55,900
From the book of Acts chapter 2,
I'm going to start at verse 42, 

52
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,800
And then, we will also read a 
little bit from chapter four 

53
00:04:02,100 --> 00:04:04,300
acts. 
To starting at verse 42 says, 

54
00:04:04,300 --> 00:04:08,100
they were continually devoting 
themselves to the apostles 

55
00:04:08,100 --> 00:04:13,200
teaching and to the fellowship 
and to the breaking of bread and

56
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,600
to prayer. 
Everyone kept feeling a sense of

57
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,800
all and Many Wonders and signs 
were taking place through the 

58
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,700
apostles and all those who 
believed were together and had 

59
00:04:25,700 --> 00:04:28,700
all things in common and they 
began Man, selling their 

60
00:04:28,700 --> 00:04:31,500
property and possessions and 
we're sharing with them all. 

61
00:04:31,500 --> 00:04:36,200
Cheering them, all with all as 
anyone might have need day by 

62
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:41,100
day continuing with one mind in 
the temple and breaking bread 

63
00:04:41,100 --> 00:04:44,500
from house to house, they were 
taking their meals together with

64
00:04:44,500 --> 00:04:48,800
gladness and sincerity of heart,
praising God, and having favor 

65
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,700
with all the people and the Lord
was adding to their number day 

66
00:04:52,700 --> 00:04:55,400
by day. 
Those who were being saved. 

67
00:04:55,400 --> 00:05:00,400
If you also look at chapter 4, 
Verse 32. 

68
00:05:01,700 --> 00:05:07,200
The congregation of those who 
believed were of one heart and 

69
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,100
one Soul, not one of them 
claimed anything belonging to 

70
00:05:11,100 --> 00:05:15,200
him was his own, but all things 
were common property to them. 

71
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,400
And with great power, the 
apostles were giving testimony 

72
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,800
to the resurrection of the Lord 
Jesus and abundant grace was 

73
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,400
upon them. 
All for there was not a needy 

74
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,500
person, among them for all, who 
were owners of lands or houses 

75
00:05:27,500 --> 00:05:31,300
would sell them, and bring the 
proceeds of the sales and lay 

76
00:05:31,300 --> 00:05:34,800
them at the The apostles feet 
and they would be distributed to

77
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:39,600
each as he had need. 
Amen. 

78
00:05:39,900 --> 00:05:46,100
You can be seated what we see in
these verses. 

79
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:52,800
Is what life looked like for the
very first New Testament Church.

80
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:55,800
This is all happening 
immediately. 

81
00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:00,800
After Jesus crucifixion, his 
death, burial and resurrection 

82
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,700
and his Ascension into heaven. 
This is a roadmap. 

83
00:06:04,700 --> 00:06:08,500
This is a snapshot. 
This is history of the church 

84
00:06:08,900 --> 00:06:11,600
and how they conducted 
themselves immediately 

85
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,200
afterward. 
How the church was built. 

86
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,200
What they did. 
Can you imagine? 

87
00:06:17,300 --> 00:06:21,700
This is all pretty routine for 
us on Sundays, but they didn't 

88
00:06:21,700 --> 00:06:23,800
even know that they had no idea 
where to start. 

89
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,600
What to do mean. 
They knew some things obviously 

90
00:06:26,700 --> 00:06:32,600
but This shows us how they 
conducted themselves and there 

91
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,500
are some things that I want us 
to look at today that I think 

92
00:06:35,500 --> 00:06:41,700
can be very helpful to us, they 
gathered together in homes, they

93
00:06:41,700 --> 00:06:47,000
gather together in the temple. 
They broke bread, they listen to

94
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,600
the apostles, teach and expound 
upon God's word, and they prayed

95
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,800
together. 
I have no doubt that they 

96
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,700
probably sang together as well 
as was their custom. 

97
00:06:57,700 --> 00:06:59,100
They would have been a singing 
people. 

98
00:06:59,100 --> 00:07:05,800
It was just part of life. 
And if you'll notice and 2:42 

99
00:07:06,300 --> 00:07:09,800
and in verse 46 that they didn't
just do this one day a week, not

100
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:14,700
just for one hour on one day a 
week, they did this continually 

101
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:20,000
day by day, they gathered 
together and did this, they were

102
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,800
in constant constant Community 
with one another, some of them 

103
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,100
even sold their houses and 
donated the money so that they 

104
00:07:28,100 --> 00:07:30,400
could meet the needs of others. 
So no doubt, some of them are 

105
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,700
living together. 
Some people today might call 

106
00:07:33,700 --> 00:07:37,500
this a commune and it has a 
negative annotation to it. 

107
00:07:37,500 --> 00:07:39,200
We're not talking about the 
crazy Kool-Aid. 

108
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,300
Drinking kind we're talking 
about the kind where people 

109
00:07:42,300 --> 00:07:44,700
truly sacrifice for one another 
and loved one. 

110
00:07:44,700 --> 00:07:48,700
Another Well gave up their 
possessions or whatever. 

111
00:07:48,700 --> 00:07:54,500
They could to help one another 
Now, this had a profound impact 

112
00:07:54,500 --> 00:07:58,500
on these people. 
They no longer look to their own

113
00:07:58,500 --> 00:08:01,500
interests, but they look to the 
interest of their brothers and 

114
00:08:01,500 --> 00:08:06,700
their sisters in Christ. 
Verse 45 says that they were 

115
00:08:06,700 --> 00:08:09,800
doing this to meet one another's
needs. 

116
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:14,000
And so they they learned to love
one another in a 

117
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:19,100
self-sacrificing way. 
Just like Jesus had done, they 

118
00:08:19,100 --> 00:08:23,600
were learning to Model A 
Selfless Love just like Jesus 

119
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:28,700
had for them and for all of us, 
It produced a result. 

120
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,299
Within their community that was 
noticeable. 

121
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:37,100
So the outside world. 
It was noticeable, you could see

122
00:08:37,100 --> 00:08:39,900
it. 
Scripture talks about that. 

123
00:08:39,900 --> 00:08:44,100
It talks about Being Sanctified 
in a way that other people can 

124
00:08:44,100 --> 00:08:47,600
notice it, the let it be seen, 
but people noticed the change in

125
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,100
you, and these people were 
growing in a way that the world 

126
00:08:51,100 --> 00:08:53,400
around them noticed. 
Something is different about 

127
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:58,600
those people. 
They became like one big family.

128
00:09:00,300 --> 00:09:01,800
And that's how they loved one. 
Another. 

129
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:07,900
In Matthew 12 and Jesus with 
crowd gathered around him and 

130
00:09:07,900 --> 00:09:10,300
told that his mother and his 
brothers were there to see him. 

131
00:09:11,500 --> 00:09:15,600
He says, This is my mother and 
brother. 

132
00:09:15,900 --> 00:09:17,900
These are, these are my mother 
and brother. 

133
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,900
Whoever does the will of my 
Father in Heaven, is my brother 

134
00:09:21,900 --> 00:09:25,800
and my sister and my mother. 
And again, in Matthew 19, verse 

135
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:31,400
29, he says that everyone 
everyone who has left houses or 

136
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,000
brothers or sisters, or Father's
or mothers, or farms for my 

137
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,100
namesake will receive many times
as much. 

138
00:09:40,300 --> 00:09:42,500
A thousand times much. 
So, whatever. 

139
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,500
Whatever, we may, give up to 
follow Christ, we gained in 

140
00:09:46,500 --> 00:09:52,900
following Christ. 
So today the point I'm trying to

141
00:09:52,900 --> 00:09:56,800
make and all of this, my big 
idea to this sermon is that when

142
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,900
we worship together, when we 
come together and do what we're 

143
00:09:59,900 --> 00:10:03,900
doing now, when we do life 
together, we worship and we sing

144
00:10:03,900 --> 00:10:06,600
and we break bread and we 
praise, and we do this. 

145
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:13,500
We become family. 
Become Stanley. 

146
00:10:14,900 --> 00:10:18,100
Through the regular habits 
there, a lifestyle of 

147
00:10:18,100 --> 00:10:20,700
worshipping together, whether it
be in your home groups on 

148
00:10:20,700 --> 00:10:24,700
Wednesday nights, where you're 
breaking bread, whether it be 

149
00:10:24,700 --> 00:10:27,100
through the, the corporate 
Gathering, where all those 

150
00:10:27,100 --> 00:10:29,700
groups are coming together Under
One Roof on Sunday morning. 

151
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,100
Whatever we do together we grow 
closer. 

152
00:10:34,100 --> 00:10:39,600
Our bond is strengthened and we 
become family through it all God

153
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,200
unites together. 
A people that otherwise would 

154
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,700
not be United. 
Amen, I think we can all look 

155
00:10:46,700 --> 00:10:49,700
around this room and say that. 
If it weren't for Jesus Christ, 

156
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,200
we would not be here. 
Some of us might be friends but 

157
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,100
it is the bond of Jesus Christ 
that brings us together. 

158
00:10:57,100 --> 00:10:59,800
Otherwise most of us would never
even know one another we would 

159
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:05,000
never spend any time together. 
but Christ brings together 

160
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,500
people from all walks of life, 
all backgrounds, all interests, 

161
00:11:08,700 --> 00:11:19,500
Hobbies jobs, Let me be clear. 
You are adopted into gods 

162
00:11:19,500 --> 00:11:21,800
family. 
At the moment of your 

163
00:11:22,100 --> 00:11:28,200
conversion. but that bond that 
familial Bond of being in God's 

164
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,900
family, being Brothers and 
Sisters in Christ is 

165
00:11:30,900 --> 00:11:35,900
strengthened Strengthened 
through regularly gathering 

166
00:11:35,900 --> 00:11:38,300
together to worship to spend 
time together. 

167
00:11:39,900 --> 00:11:42,500
So I want you to understand that
that it's not it's not by 

168
00:11:42,500 --> 00:11:45,000
gathering that we enter the 
family of God. 

169
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:49,900
We enter it the moment we place 
our faith in Jesus but we cannot

170
00:11:49,900 --> 00:11:52,800
strengthen that Bond alone. 
We must gather together as 

171
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,700
family for that to happen, for 
us to jail and come together as 

172
00:11:56,700 --> 00:12:01,300
a family. 
This truth has been on full 

173
00:12:01,300 --> 00:12:05,600
display this week at this 
church, as we've already talked 

174
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,400
about. 
I've never seen anything quite 

175
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,600
like it. 
I've never been to a service 

176
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,900
like the one we had yesterday. 
I've never been to a visitation 

177
00:12:14,900 --> 00:12:16,800
like that. 
I've never been a part of a 

178
00:12:16,808 --> 00:12:21,900
church like this. 
You all truly have been a 

179
00:12:21,900 --> 00:12:26,900
scripture talks about of one 
mind and one heart and it's 

180
00:12:26,900 --> 00:12:30,700
beautiful. 
Watching you all grow and your 

181
00:12:31,100 --> 00:12:34,800
faith in Jesus and your love for
one another as our mission 

182
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,900
statement says, over the last 
seven years, it has become 

183
00:12:38,900 --> 00:12:41,600
obvious that you guys are 
family. 

184
00:12:53,500 --> 00:13:00,400
A good one, too. 
I'm proud to be part of it, but 

185
00:13:00,900 --> 00:13:06,300
the thing that I am perhaps, the
most proud of is your steadfast 

186
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:14,800
faith in the midst of Trials. 
It reminds me of second 

187
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,600
Thessalonians 1:3 through for 
her. 

188
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,100
Paul says to that church wrote 
that letter to the church at 

189
00:13:21,100 --> 00:13:24,600
thessalonica and he said we 
ought to always give thanks to 

190
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:30,100
God for you Brethren as is only 
fitting because your faith is 

191
00:13:30,100 --> 00:13:32,600
greatly enlarged. 
And the love of each. 

192
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:37,500
One of you toward one, another 
grows, even greater therefore we

193
00:13:37,500 --> 00:13:41,400
ourselves will speak proudly of 
you among the Churches of God. 

194
00:13:41,500 --> 00:13:45,700
God for your perseverance and 
faith in the midst of all your 

195
00:13:45,700 --> 00:13:52,300
persecutions, which you endure. 
I think I could be wrong, but I 

196
00:13:52,300 --> 00:13:56,800
think that the verse that our 
mission statement is based on, I

197
00:13:56,808 --> 00:13:59,300
know it's one of the intros of 
one of the letters somewhere, 

198
00:14:02,500 --> 00:14:05,500
okay? 
Essentially that thought doesn't

199
00:14:05,500 --> 00:14:10,700
matter what letters. 
But multiple times Paul would 

200
00:14:10,700 --> 00:14:14,200
open a letter with commending, a
church for their faith and their

201
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,600
love for one another. 
It's not the only time he does 

202
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,300
it. 
So where it's found is 

203
00:14:18,300 --> 00:14:21,000
irrelevant. 
The fact is Paul was proud of 

204
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,000
the churches for for 
demonstrating that and I'm proud

205
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,200
of you guys to you are living 
this out amazingly. 

206
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:34,200
So thank you. 
It is our faith, Our Hope in 

207
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:39,000
Jesus Christ that unites us that
is what brings us together that 

208
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,200
faith that common faith in Jesus
Christ. 

209
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,100
It's not just that we gather 
together. 

210
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,200
It's that we do it in his name. 
Under the banner of our King. 

211
00:14:50,300 --> 00:14:53,700
Every time we gather together, 
he is our Cornerstone. 

212
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,400
We sang that this morning 
through him, we are adopted and 

213
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:03,000
grafted into his family. 
Ephesians 2:19 through 22 says 

214
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,100
so then you are no longer 
strangers and Aliens. 

215
00:15:06,100 --> 00:15:10,200
But you are fellow citizens with
the Saints and members of the 

216
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,300
household of God, that is built 
on the foundation of the 

217
00:15:13,300 --> 00:15:16,800
Apostles and the prophets with 
Christ Jesus himself, being the 

218
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:21,000
Cornerstone and whom the whole 
structure being joined together.

219
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:25,800
Grows into a holy Temple of the 
Lord and him, you are also being

220
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,200
built together into a dwelling 
place for God by the spirit. 

221
00:15:30,300 --> 00:15:33,800
And again, in John 1:12 to all 
who did receive him, who 

222
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,800
believed in his name, he gave 
the right to become children of 

223
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:42,800
God. 
So you see it as Christ that 

224
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:47,500
unites us, it is Christ who 
sustains us and it is Christ 

225
00:15:47,500 --> 00:15:50,100
that will see us through to the 
end. 

226
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,500
If you confess with your mouth, 
that Jesus Christ is Lord. 

227
00:15:56,500 --> 00:15:59,100
And you believe in your heart, 
that God raised him from the 

228
00:15:59,100 --> 00:16:01,000
dead. 
You will be saved. 

229
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:05,300
According to Romans 10:9. 
And when you were saved, you 

230
00:16:05,300 --> 00:16:10,800
were saved from your sins and 
saved into the family of God 

231
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:15,500
into his glorious righteousness.
You are now a brother and sister

232
00:16:15,700 --> 00:16:19,000
to Jesus himself, you are 
co-heirs of the Kingdom. 

233
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,000
You're a son and a daughter of 
God almighty. 

234
00:16:23,300 --> 00:16:25,600
You share in that inheritance 
with Jesus. 

235
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,900
That's what we are adopted into 
together as family when we 

236
00:16:29,900 --> 00:16:36,000
proclaim the name of Christ and 
that is beautiful to be in 

237
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,600
perfect fellowship with God and 
our Brothers and Sisters in 

238
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,500
Christ. 
It is a beautiful thing. 

239
00:16:42,700 --> 00:16:45,300
And it's so powerful. 
The scripture even says that the

240
00:16:45,300 --> 00:16:47,300
Gates of Hell cannot Prevail 
against it. 

241
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,800
He's talking about his church 
there, that's you. 

242
00:16:53,300 --> 00:16:56,300
And that is why. 
And how we can weep with those 

243
00:16:56,300 --> 00:17:02,800
who weep and rejoice with those 
who rejoice Because you aren't 

244
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,700
just some church members that 
happen together together in the 

245
00:17:05,708 --> 00:17:08,800
same building. 
Once a week, we're family. 

246
00:17:10,099 --> 00:17:12,599
We do everything together cry 
together. 

247
00:17:12,599 --> 00:17:15,099
We laugh together. 
You sing together? 

248
00:17:18,300 --> 00:17:26,599
And it's all because of Christ. 
So if we have anybody here today

249
00:17:26,599 --> 00:17:28,600
is visiting. 
I know we have a lot of family 

250
00:17:28,700 --> 00:17:31,900
that are here and I just want to
thank you guys for your support 

251
00:17:31,900 --> 00:17:35,500
of this family. 
I don't know if there's anybody 

252
00:17:35,500 --> 00:17:38,000
here that is just first time. 
Visiting have no idea what's 

253
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,900
going on. 
If that's you I'm not really 

254
00:17:39,900 --> 00:17:42,400
sorry. 
You get to see what it looks 

255
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:46,500
like to be a part of a actual 
church that does this as well. 

256
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:58,800
Life is messy. sometimes it 
really stinks, but You know, we 

257
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:03,000
live in a fallen world. 
We were told to expect, trials, 

258
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:08,500
and tribulations, But we were 
also told that we have what we 

259
00:18:08,500 --> 00:18:14,800
need to get through it and it's 
so much so much easier and 

260
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,800
sweeter to go through that 
together with a church van. 

261
00:18:19,700 --> 00:18:24,000
So much easier. and if you don't
know that, if you don't know 

262
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,300
that kind of community, if you 
don't have that kind of family, 

263
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:33,200
I want you to know that you can 
We invite you to be a part of 

264
00:18:33,208 --> 00:18:37,800
that here. 
Jesus himself invite you to be a

265
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,800
part of that. 
Matthew 11:28, he says, come to 

266
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,900
me all who labor and are heavy 
laden and I will give you rest. 

267
00:18:46,100 --> 00:18:48,500
Take my yoke upon you and learn 
from me for. 

268
00:18:48,500 --> 00:18:52,300
I am gentle and lowly in heart 
and you will find rest for your 

269
00:18:52,300 --> 00:18:54,200
souls. 
For my yoke is easy. 

270
00:18:54,700 --> 00:18:59,800
My burden is light. 
All you have to do is repent and

271
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,500
believe. 
Believe it in your heart, 

272
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:08,200
confess it with your mouth. 
Church. 

273
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:12,500
I want to ask you. 
I know I don't have to but I 

274
00:19:12,508 --> 00:19:16,000
want to ask you to continue to 
love and support this family. 

275
00:19:17,300 --> 00:19:20,200
In the days weeks, months to 
come even years. 

276
00:19:21,700 --> 00:19:25,500
I've heard from so many. 
So many different pastors over 

277
00:19:25,500 --> 00:19:29,900
the last week, trying to 
encourage me and us and how to 

278
00:19:29,900 --> 00:19:33,400
fill the lead you guys and how 
to be a friend to Kyle that. 

279
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,200
So many times, what happens is 
it for the first week or so, 

280
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,000
there's so many people, reaching
out and can be smothering and 

281
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,500
then everybody goes back to 
normal. 

282
00:19:43,700 --> 00:19:45,300
So I want to encourage you right
now. 

283
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,600
Coming weeks coming days, reach 
out to him, love them. 

284
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:57,600
Well, don't stop. 
Don't stop supporting and loving

285
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,200
your church. 
Lift one. 

286
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,600
Another up. 
Bear one another's burdens. 

287
00:20:04,900 --> 00:20:07,100
We're told in Scripture that 
when we bear one another's, 

288
00:20:07,100 --> 00:20:10,900
burdens that we are fulfilling 
the law of Christ. 

289
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,100
A lot of times we think Christ 
came and he fulfilled the law 

290
00:20:15,100 --> 00:20:17,500
and kind of instituted a new 
thing, right? 

291
00:20:17,500 --> 00:20:20,400
The laws kind of done, we don't 
have to worry about that. 

292
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:24,000
But Christ has a law. 
He told us that we are to love 

293
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:29,600
one another but we are to love 
the Lord with all our heart, 

294
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,000
mind and soul. 
And we're love to love our 

295
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,200
neighbor as ourself. 
And so in bearing, one 

296
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,200
another's. 
Surgeons were doing that for 

297
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,600
fulfilling the law of Christ to 
love one another as we love our 

298
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:43,600
own selves so I encourage you to
continue to do this. 

299
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:49,300
Don't lose hope we have sang. 
Some glorious truth this morning

300
00:20:49,300 --> 00:20:52,400
about God and His goodness. 
We know that he's good through 

301
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:56,000
all of this. 
So Church hold on to that faith.

302
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,900
That unites us, hold on, to your
hope. 

303
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:03,900
We know that this world is not 
our home but this is temporary 

304
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:09,100
We know that these present 
sufferings are not worth 

305
00:21:09,100 --> 00:21:13,000
comparing to the glory. 
That is to be revealed us. 

306
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,000
And we know that in this world, 
we are going to have trials and 

307
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,300
tribulations. 
It's not a matter of if it's 

308
00:21:19,300 --> 00:21:25,200
just win. 
But take heart, Jesus has 

309
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:30,900
overcome the world. 
When I pray for you, father, we 

310
00:21:30,900 --> 00:21:36,200
love you. 
Oh God, we continually just cry 

311
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,900
out God that he would be with 
us, he would lift us up. 

312
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:44,400
He would give us this hope and 
this faith that we just cannot 

313
00:21:44,900 --> 00:21:50,000
cannot muster on our own. 
God, I pray that you fill us 

314
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,200
with your spirit. 
That you help us to love one 

315
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,100
another that you help us to Bear
one another's, burdens, always 

316
00:21:56,100 --> 00:22:01,500
and that other results of this 
just like an ax to that the 

317
00:22:01,500 --> 00:22:04,200
world around us would see. 
And would notice that 

318
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:08,100
something's different and that 
they would want to come find out

319
00:22:08,100 --> 00:22:09,600
about it. 
They would want to be a part of 

320
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,500
it and that just like an axe 
that you would add to our number

321
00:22:12,700 --> 00:22:15,900
because of it that our 
sufferings would not be in vain.

322
00:22:17,500 --> 00:22:21,000
But would serve to promote the 
gospel to make you famous. 

323
00:22:23,900 --> 00:22:25,700
God, we love you and we give you
all the glory. 

324
00:22:25,700 --> 00:22:30,100
This morning, all the honor. 
Thank you so much for your 

325
00:22:30,100 --> 00:22:34,400
kindness and mercy. 
God Be Love You. 

326
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:37,500
I love you. 
Amen. 

327
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:37,500
