1
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:10,280
Man Hallelujah, you can read his
word Amen and all the mysteries 

2
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:16,400
and the secrets are revealed 
Amen And his word the Bible in 

3
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:22,200
Romans chapter number one said 
that even even nature closes in 

4
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:26,160
on his divine power and his 
Godhead Amen. 

5
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:31,720
Nature itself Amen informs us of
all these things Hallelujah. 

6
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,960
What a great spirit of the Lord,
what a great spirit of the Lord.

7
00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:41,520
I want to be mindful of that 
that spirit of God Amen. 

8
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,840
I want to involve myself in with
that all that made me think of 

9
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:51,000
Scripture actually in the the 
book of Exodus Amen. 

10
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,240
The Bible says that the children
of Israel had arrived at Mount 

11
00:00:55,240 --> 00:01:00,120
Sinai after leaving Egypt. 
That's where they would receive 

12
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,239
the law of God. 
The Lord had already told Moses,

13
00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:06,240
he says, I'm going to come down.
There's going to be smoke, 

14
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:11,400
lightning, fire, all this 
thunderings said you, you said 

15
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,400
you set a perimeter. 
So I'm a holy God, right? 

16
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,840
I'm a holy God. 
So you set a perimeter where the

17
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:22,240
people can get back close to me 
and hear me and what I have to 

18
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:26,520
say and and so on and so forth. 
And the Bible basically tells us

19
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,120
that all of this came about and 
it was so. 

20
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,720
And the people saw the lightning
and the Thunder and the smoke, 

21
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,600
and Moses even told him, 
sanctify yourself for three days

22
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,840
and then come and draw close 
into the Lord. 

23
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,440
The Bible says when they saw 
that and they really experienced

24
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,920
the nearness of God, when they 
really experienced the nearness 

25
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:50,800
of God, the Bible plainly says 
that they removed and then went 

26
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:56,480
and stood afar off and they told
Moses, Moses, why don't you talk

27
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,800
to us rather than us hearing 
from God? 

28
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,360
This is in your Bibles. 
Why don't you talk to us rather 

29
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,920
than hearing from God? 
And the Bible says they just 

30
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,360
kept standing afar off as Moses 
drew near the darkness, the 

31
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:16,640
thick darkness where God was. 
I hope this week, Bishop, that 

32
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:21,160
we can draw back close to where 
the fire and the smoke, that we 

33
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,480
won't stand afar off. 
I felt God's presence come down.

34
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:29,000
When you think about it, that in
part really explains why there 

35
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,120
was ever this whole mediation of
a man between a nation and a 

36
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,840
people because they said we like
you God, but we don't want to 

37
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:42,560
get that near. 
We don't want to get that close.

38
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,240
And it would take this whole 
generation of time through all 

39
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,920
the offices of a priest of the 
Old Testament and Jesus Christ 

40
00:02:48,920 --> 00:02:53,480
being the mediator between God 
and man, Christ Jesus, that 

41
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,320
tempt he spoke of that after, 
then finally the death, burial 

42
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,480
and resurrection. 
It tore down that whole system 

43
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,200
that all of us can go boldly. 
What was that getting back to? 

44
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,880
It was getting back to God's 
original plan of being close to 

45
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:14,720
his people. 
Man, I feel the Holy Ghost. 

46
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:22,440
Thank you, Jesus, Hallelujah, 
Amen. 

47
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,640
Let's see what we can do 
tonight, huh? 

48
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:31,080
Some other consecrative things 
tonight with communion, foot 

49
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,160
washing, and you can throw my 
first slide up there and I'll 

50
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,520
control it, try to the best of 
my ability, control it from 

51
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:37,720
here. 
Amen. 

52
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,640
This evening, we're not going to
be going right into a scripture 

53
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,200
right here. 
I'm just going to ask for us to 

54
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:43,320
pray. 
I know we've been doing a lot of

55
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,680
praying, but we need God's help 
in the next little while. 

56
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,800
Father, I love you tonight, God.
I'm so grateful, Lord, for your 

57
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,520
spirit, God, that we have both 
experienced and felt God thus 

58
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,760
far. 
God, I pray, Lord, that this is 

59
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,880
just a good stage, Lord, this 
evening for Lord, your Spirit to

60
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,920
continue to minister. 
God through God, these these 

61
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,840
memorials, these ordinances, God
of your word, I pray God to 

62
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,160
concentrate upon aspects Lord of
our lives that we live unto you.

63
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,360
I pray God that you're able to 
help us now in the next little 

64
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,800
while and will not fail to thank
you for it. 

65
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,600
In Jesus name everybody say 
Amen. 

66
00:04:17,399 --> 00:04:20,120
Amen once again Pat, so good to 
see you tonight. 

67
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,280
Amen. 
Does my heart well to see your 

68
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,320
Amen face here this evening. 
Pat isn't a stranger Amen to the

69
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,600
first Apostolic Church. 
I OFT times joke he's the only 

70
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,960
reason why that we have a a tape
CD or any type of ministry like 

71
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:34,960
that. 
It was here because he used to 

72
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:39,240
buy every CD, every tape that 
ever got got put out from here. 

73
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,240
And so now it's all online. 
So you know anybody. 

74
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,680
But if you want, if you ever 
need something that's from the 

75
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,280
archive, you can probably see 
Pat. 

76
00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:50,680
He might have it, you know, 
still yet, maybe some cobwebs on

77
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,080
it, I don't know. 
Amen. 

78
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,960
But you can see see him for that
here this evening, Communion 

79
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,440
foot washing. 
So I'm going to talk about both 

80
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,160
tonight. 
Going to talk about communion 

81
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,160
first and then I'm going to talk
about foot washing. 

82
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:06,080
Both of these things throughout 
the history of the church, not 

83
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,880
just biblical history, but 
history since I've been alive 

84
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:14,360
have been practices, morals, if 
you will, ordinances of the 

85
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,840
church that we have have 
participated in. 

86
00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:21,440
And that is even told some of 
these things that they are to be

87
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:26,640
done forever or even as Jesus 
spoke to them when he washed the

88
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,880
disciples feet in John chapter 
13. 

89
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,000
That as I have done unto you, go
and do likewise. 

90
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,000
A type of scenario. 
And so something that's always 

91
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,200
interesting to me. 
That's me bro, a man. 

92
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:38,800
Can you get nice one slide back 
up there. 

93
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,080
I might have went the wrong 
direction. 

94
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,360
I don't know if I'm going 
frontwards or backwards tonight.

95
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,240
All right, it did it again. 
Can you do it one more time? 

96
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:46,680
Amen. 
There we go. 

97
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,320
The greatest commandments foot 
wash in the communion and I've 

98
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:54,800
taught on this for years, right?
We do this typically we try to 

99
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,120
get it in every year, but foot 
Washington Communion really 

100
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:04,320
parallel to aspects of of 
commandments in reality, when 

101
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,920
the lawyer came to Jesus and he 
was testing him and trying him 

102
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,720
about, you know what, what are 
the 2 greatest commandments And 

103
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,520
we, we would say, and maybe you 
know what those two commandments

104
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,320
are, but being that you would 
love God, just just making them 

105
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,400
simple in a nutshell, that you 
would love God and that you 

106
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,520
would love your neighbor as 
yourself. 

107
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,520
And he said all the other 
commandments, right. 

108
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:32,640
All these 613 other commandments
that we read of in, in the 

109
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,480
Jewish law and so forth. 
All those others hang or hinge 

110
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,360
upon those two commandments. 
And, and that's really true, 

111
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,040
Sister Jessica, even whenever we
look like in Exodus 20 of just 

112
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:48,480
the 10 commandments, right? 
These two of loving God and 

113
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,520
loving your neighbor, we can 
take the 10 commandments and 

114
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,880
even start hanging them on one 
or the other. 

115
00:06:54,280 --> 00:06:58,720
Because if you love God, then 
you will not make any graven 

116
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,520
image, all right, which is one 
of the 10 commandments. 

117
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,920
If you love God, you won't 
worship anything else but Him 

118
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,760
alone, which is one of those 
commandments. 

119
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,680
This. 
And then likewise, if you get 

120
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,880
the second part of Exodus 
chapter 20, like the last five 

121
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,480
of the last portions of those 
commandments, if you love your 

122
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:20,840
neighbor, you will not kill, you
will not steal from them. 

123
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:25,280
You will not bear false witness 
against your neighbor, right? 

124
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,720
And so you have these other 
things that that you will not do

125
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,560
so based upon these two. 
So whenever you look at 

126
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,200
communion and foot washing, they
really have their places up on 

127
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,160
or within these two categories. 
When we talk about communion, 

128
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,920
we're going to talk about it 
here in just a little bit. 

129
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:44,400
Communion is that time for 
reflection of community number 

130
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,560
one, we're here to commune with 
God through communion, but we're

131
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,840
thinking up on that death, that 
burial, that resurrection, what 

132
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:56,240
he had done for us, right to 
open up a door of communication,

133
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,560
a communion with us. 
And so we're thinking back on 

134
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,960
that. 
So it's our love for God aspect.

135
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,680
And then when we talk about foot
washing, right, Jesus washing 

136
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,680
all the disciples feet and then 
him saying, as you see me do, go

137
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,080
and do likewise whenever we do 
this. 

138
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:14,400
And yes, it is an act of 
humility to do such a thing, but

139
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:15,720
we'll look at it here in a 
little bit. 

140
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,840
It's it's that loving your 
neighbor type of aspect that is 

141
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,320
that is being concentrated on 
here. 

142
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,160
But interestingly enough, both 
have to do with love. 

143
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,240
It's just where that love is 
directed in the moment of that 

144
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:32,440
ordinance or in the moment of of
that memorial, our loving God 

145
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:36,440
and expression, if you will, of 
our love of God or a love for 

146
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,960
our neighbor. 
And so when we talk about these 

147
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:44,720
things, foot washing, foot 
communion, we see them depicted 

148
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,320
in the scripture and we might 
say, well, they're, they're just

149
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,960
symbols or they just stand for 
something. 

150
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,120
Then they do like many things, 
even in the Old Testament that 

151
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,560
were shadows of of good things 
that were to come. 

152
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,040
There's a lot of symbolism in 
the scripture. 

153
00:08:59,560 --> 00:09:02,520
But to say that they don't mean 
anything or if there's there's 

154
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,360
no ground of importance to them 
would be a farce in reality. 

155
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:11,040
Because when you look at some of
the Old Testament symbols, they 

156
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,560
stood and had meaning for 
something that a greater 

157
00:09:13,560 --> 00:09:15,720
representation than what they 
were even were. 

158
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,920
We look at the Old Testament, we
look at all of the the feast 

159
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,840
days, if you will, that's 
throughout the Old Testament 

160
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,440
like like like Passover and 
unleavened bread and Pentecost 

161
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,760
and Tabernacles. 
We say, well, that that's just 

162
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,080
all. 
Yes, but what it represented, 

163
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,920
what it stood for, what it's 
connected to is so much larger 

164
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,400
and so vital and so important. 
The sacrificial system, the Old 

165
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,480
Testament, we know, of course, 
that was totally fulfilled in 

166
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,360
Christ Jesus, but it stood for 
something that represented 

167
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,120
something that had a lot of 
meaning. 

168
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,440
The Tabernacle in point, right? 
The outer court, the inner 

169
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,920
court, the holies of holies, all
those things in their symbols 

170
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,800
and representations of other 
things. 

171
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,640
So symbols do mean something. 
And I've said this for years in 

172
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,560
in teaching this at different 
times and you all getting off 

173
00:10:01,560 --> 00:10:03,760
easy because I'm putting them 
both in one rather than having a

174
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,600
night set aside for each, which 
what I did for several years. 

175
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,680
But nonetheless, if we say that 
the symbols don't mean anything,

176
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,360
then Moses should have been able
to enter the promised land 

177
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:18,560
though he smote a rock. 
There's a New Testament 

178
00:10:18,560 --> 00:10:20,960
scripture in Corinthians says 
that rock that followed them was

179
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,360
Christ. 
Well, it's a symbolism, an 

180
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,360
embolism that that rock was 
Christ. 

181
00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:30,960
But even him smiting the symbol 
kept him from entering the 

182
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,520
promised land. 
And so it means something. 

183
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,040
We, we have other stories like 
Joe Ash, the young king, 

184
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,920
whenever he went to visit 
Elijah. 

185
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,640
Elijah is a old man at this 
point. 

186
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,600
He's laying in the bed and, and 
Joash is asking some instruction

187
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,440
about war and about fighting. 
And this causes Elijah to rise 

188
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,680
out of his bed. 
And Elijah tells Joash, he says 

189
00:10:51,680 --> 00:10:54,120
grab, grab your bow. 
And he does. 

190
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:58,120
And that old prophet puts his 
hands up on Joash's hands and he

191
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,800
says open the window, point the 
arrow and he says shoot the 

192
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:02,880
arrow. 
And he did. 

193
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,880
And he, he told Josh he says 
take the arrows and he said beat

194
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,240
them on the ground. 
The Bible says, I think Joash 

195
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:12,760
hit like 3 times up on the 
ground and, and Elijah said back

196
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,920
to him, he said, I wish you had 
just, you know, done more than 

197
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,680
that. 
He said as a result of this, 

198
00:11:16,680 --> 00:11:19,120
you're only going to defeat, I 
believe it was Syria. 

199
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,480
I said you're only going to 
defeat them three times. 

200
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,080
He said I was what was it? 
It was just a symbol, arrows, 

201
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,560
but in his beating he was 
embolizing the type of 

202
00:11:28,560 --> 00:11:30,200
deliverance he was going to 
have. 

203
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,680
And so if none of this means 
anything, then he could have had

204
00:11:33,680 --> 00:11:36,320
victory without beating him more
times and so and so forth. 

205
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:40,120
So you get the concept of the 
idea that we're portraying here.

206
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:45,000
And so when we look at these 
things, the Last Supper that is 

207
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,280
written about in Matthew chapter
26, and you see it also in the 

208
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:53,920
other harmony of the Gospels, 
the Lords Supper was instituted 

209
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:58,840
in the same night that the 
Passover meal had taken place. 

210
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:03,640
All right, you we read about 
Passover in Exodus chapter #12 

211
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:08,080
and Exodus chapter #13 the Lords
Supper was instituted in that 

212
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,800
same night. 
And to understand this, the Old 

213
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:15,040
Testament sacrificial system, 
right, It always required blood 

214
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,960
whenever the priest was going to
enter into the holies of holies 

215
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,360
where the Ark of the Covenant 
was. 

216
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,640
And up above on top of the Ark 
of the Covenant was that thing 

217
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,560
called the mercy seat. 
Whenever all that took place, it

218
00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:32,360
always required blood. 
The priest could not enter in 

219
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:36,760
there on the Day of Atonement 
without blood, all right, for 

220
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,280
him to be there. 
And no, in the book of Exodus 

221
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,680
you will read of this the first 
time with Moses. 

222
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,760
He told Moses, he said, I will 
meet with, with, with the 

223
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,440
priest. 
I will meet with my people 

224
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:51,400
between the cherubim that are up
upon the mercy seat. 

225
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,560
His, his presence would come 
down in that cloud. 

226
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,600
And there would be, if you will,
communion, communion with the 

227
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,600
Spirit of the Lord on that mercy
seat. 

228
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:07,120
But you didn't get into that 
place of communion without 

229
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:11,640
blood. 
But if there is blood, there is 

230
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,120
a body that the blood has come 
from. 

231
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,360
There's blood, there's body that
the blood come from. 

232
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,720
Sacrificial blood already 
denotes there must be a 

233
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,520
sacrificial body. 
And so for us, when we talk 

234
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,720
about communion, then we talk 
about the fruit of the vine that

235
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:34,280
Jesus will say, take, this is my
blood of the New Testament. 

236
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,520
And when we talk about the body,
we're talking about, he says, 

237
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,960
this bread, this is my body 
taken, eat of it. 

238
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,240
Jesus Christ ultimately being 
the ultimate sacrifice that 

239
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:49,560
provided both the body and the 
blood for communion, All right, 

240
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,240
for communion with the Lord. 
All of that is typified in the 

241
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,560
Old Testament, Amen. 
Through the sacrificial system 

242
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,440
and even through the mercy seat 
in the ark of the covenant. 

243
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,360
Let's look at this particular 
Scripture tonight of Hebrews 

244
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:07,760
chapter #9 and verse #7 he says,
But into the second went the 

245
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,720
high priest alone once every 
year. 

246
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,600
This is the Day of Atonement. 
Look again. 

247
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:17,720
Not without blood, which he 
offered for himself and for the 

248
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,840
errors of the people. 
So blood was required. 

249
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,840
Body was required. 
Blood and body, a man of food, 

250
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,960
of the vine and bread, if you 
will. 

251
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:28,960
It was the Old Testament 
standard. 

252
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:33,280
And so that's what we even see, 
though taking place even with 

253
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,400
Passover. 
When we come to Passover, many 

254
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:41,240
may be familiar with the story 
of Exodus chapter #12 it is that

255
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:46,520
last plague of Egypt, the death 
of all of the first born, right?

256
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,880
And Moses came with the plea, a 
man for the children of Israel, 

257
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:56,040
that in order for the death 
Angel to pass by us and it not 

258
00:14:56,040 --> 00:15:00,360
to be our first born, it's going
to require the slaughtering of a

259
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,200
lamb. 
And we're going to have to take 

260
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,840
the blood of that lamb. 
And we're going to put that 

261
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,160
blood up on the lentil and up on
the doorpost. 

262
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,560
And so that whenever the death 
Angel comes by, when it sees the

263
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:17,400
blood, it will Passover us. 
And so once again, we have a 

264
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:22,160
sacrificial body and the 
sacrificial blood, right? 

265
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,160
The body is what made the blood 
available. 

266
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,640
But it was also you could have 
sacrificed the lamb and had 

267
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:33,440
blood in a basin and never had 
blood on a doorpost and a lentil

268
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,600
because it involved the people, 
huh? 

269
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,800
It involved the sacrificial 
animal that gave us the blood. 

270
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,240
But it involves the people for 
the appropriation of the blood 

271
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,680
up on the House. 
And if you'll remember, he said 

272
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:54,040
it 1 lamb per family. 
And he said if if there be more 

273
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,680
lamb, then there is family. 
He said, call over your 

274
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,280
neighbor. 
In other words, we don't want 

275
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,280
any lamb wasted. 
We don't want any lamb wasted. 

276
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,320
And so they would call over 
their neighbors. 

277
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:10,120
And on that night of Passover, 
due to a sacrificial body and 

278
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:14,280
sacrificial blood, the children 
of Israel were released from 400

279
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,200
years of bondage that they had 
been out. 

280
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,960
There was deliverance. 
There was a freedom, Amen. 

281
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,040
And so when we think of this, 
whenever we go tonight, we take 

282
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,560
communion. 
We have the food of the vine and

283
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,600
bread. 
It's all these things that we 

284
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,360
are remembering, Sister Grace, 
we're remembering that children 

285
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,640
of Israel, their deliverance, 
Amen. 

286
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,720
Leaning upon a sacrificial body 
and the sacrificial blood. 

287
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,240
And so this is important. 
The Bible says in Exodus 12 and 

288
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:46,200
verse #14 it says these words 
and this day shall be unto you 

289
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaking of Passover for a 
memorial, and you shall keep it 

290
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,680
a feast to the Lord throughout 
your generations. 

291
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:59,680
You shall keep it a feast by an 
ordinance forever, he says. 

292
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,560
This is for a memorial. 
Has anybody ever been to a 

293
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:07,319
memorial? 
Have you ever been to the 9/11 

294
00:17:07,319 --> 00:17:10,440
memorial or some other memorial 
in our country? 

295
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,599
You go there, whatever it is, 
they might have something there 

296
00:17:13,599 --> 00:17:16,800
that reads that accounts of 
whatever took place and 

297
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,240
happened. 
It's sometimes a very somber, 

298
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,720
according to what it's 
memorializing time and you're 

299
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,680
standing there and what are you 
doing as an individual? 

300
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,920
A lot of times I've been to 
places like there in Oklahoma 

301
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,640
City, OK, where there was the, 
the, the bombing there that took

302
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,280
place. 
And I've been to that memorial 

303
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,720
and they have a time of silence 
and what's going on. 

304
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:44,280
Everybody is reflecting on that 
day and what took place on that 

305
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,120
day and what happened on that 
day. 

306
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:51,560
And so when we later do what we 
do, that is part of, in case in 

307
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,000
point, what's taking place. 
This is a memorial. 

308
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:58,080
We're remembering Calvary, We're
remembering that the, the, the, 

309
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,840
the Egyptians that are mourning 
their first born, but Israel 

310
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,480
going out with all of their 
first born because they had a 

311
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,040
sacrificial body and a 
sacrificial blood. 

312
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,080
Amen. 
He says, So this is a memorial. 

313
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,760
This is an ordinance that we 
keep year by year going on to 

314
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:16,160
verse #17 of Exodus chapter #12 
the Bible says, And ye shall 

315
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,120
observe the feasts of leavened 
bread. 

316
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,080
For in this, and this is awesome
to me, always has been. 

317
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:27,440
For in this self sane day have I
brought your armies out of the 

318
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,600
land of Egypt. 
Wherefore therefore shall you 

319
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,960
observe this day in your 
generations by an ordinance 

320
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,800
forever. 
So he's again talking to him 

321
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:40,000
about Passover. 
He says, in this self sane day, 

322
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,920
I love this. 
You were delivered. 

323
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,520
But here's what I love, Brother 
Fred. 

324
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:49,680
He said I brought you out as 
armies. 

325
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:54,520
Think with me for a moment. 
In just a split moment of time, 

326
00:18:55,040 --> 00:19:01,160
they went from slaves. 
Someone tell them what to do, 

327
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:06,080
when to do, how to do. 
They went from slaves to be an 

328
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,720
exiting Egypt as an army. 
How? 

329
00:19:10,120 --> 00:19:14,800
A sacrificial body and 
sacrificial blood, ladies and 

330
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:16,280
gentlemen, that's what we 
consider. 

331
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:20,520
That's what I consider as a New 
Testament St. as I do communion.

332
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:25,600
I understand what I was enslaved
to, what I was bound to, but in 

333
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:29,000
the moment that I became a 
partaker, if you will, of the 

334
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,680
blood in the body and everything
that Christ sacrifice did for 

335
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,840
me, I come forth not as a slave 
anymore. 

336
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:42,680
I if I can say I'm a soldier in 
the army of the hear me, I come 

337
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,280
out as an army, I come out as a 
soldier. 

338
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:51,440
That's reason to contemplate 
Amen and commune with the Lord. 

339
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,720
I've used this quote several 
seven years ago. 

340
00:19:55,400 --> 00:20:00,080
It's AW Tozer from the pursuit 
of God in John 17 as Jesus 

341
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,720
Christ high priestly prayer. 
It's Christ in his flesh crying 

342
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,760
out to God, crying out to the 
Spirit. 

343
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:07,840
And he's praying over the 
disciples. 

344
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:11,200
He's praying over those that 
would come to him based upon 

345
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,280
their word and their testimony 
and his prayers, Lord, that they

346
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,120
would be one as we are one, 
right? 

347
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,360
That they would be one as we are
one. 

348
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,560
And we know that God was 
manifested in the flesh. 

349
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,680
Corinthians tells us, to wit, 
that God was in Christ. 

350
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,720
The New Testament tells us he 
was manifested. 

351
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,760
So there is this oneness and 
connectivity between Christ, 

352
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:37,160
Amen, the, the flesh of man and 
the Spirit of God in that man. 

353
00:20:37,360 --> 00:20:39,400
And he says that they may be 
one. 

354
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,560
This is what AW Tozer said. 
He said, has it ever occurred to

355
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:46,400
you that 100 pianos all tuned to
the same fork, tuning fork are 

356
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,000
automatically tuned to each 
other? 

357
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,240
I've said this before, because I
don't have to come in and, and, 

358
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,320
and take a piano and I can't 
tune a piano anyway, mind you, 

359
00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:00,560
but I can't tune a piano and 
then take that piano and tune 

360
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,560
another piano to that one. 
That would be very rigorous to 

361
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,000
have to do that. 
Imagine these poor guys at tune 

362
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,920
pianos before Brother Mike 
Wilson. 

363
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,040
He does. 
Could you imagine him having to,

364
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,360
you know, have a old upright 
piano on on some carts somewhere

365
00:21:13,360 --> 00:21:15,640
as he goes to tune pianos 
because he's going to base it up

366
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,720
off the tune of that one? 
No, he goes through with a 

367
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,600
tuning fork, and yet in all 
these places he uses that same 

368
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,440
tuning fork. 
If you could bring all the 

369
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,360
pianos together that he tuned 
with that tuning fork, they 

370
00:21:26,360 --> 00:21:27,880
would all be in tune with each 
other. 

371
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:36,040
There's something that happens 
with communion because we want, 

372
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,240
we want, yes, communion with 
God. 

373
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:42,400
But here's the marvelous thing 
that happens when we get in 

374
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:47,760
communion with God, we get in in
rightness with each other. 

375
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:55,080
Sometimes we get overly, you 
know, down as far as I got to 

376
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,120
get right with brother freeze 
and oh, then I got with Jessica 

377
00:21:58,120 --> 00:22:00,760
over here, you know, and then 
man, I'm drive myself mad. 

378
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:05,280
But if Reese can get right with 
God and communion with God and 

379
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,560
Jessica can get communion with 
God and pastor can get communion

380
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,480
with God, you know what happens?
We're automatically in communion

381
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:18,720
with each other because we got 
there is I mean, even later 

382
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,360
night when you think about and I
say this all times and that's 

383
00:22:21,360 --> 00:22:23,200
OK. 
I'll I'll repeat till I died, 

384
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,120
you know, sometimes some 
repetitions how we learn. 

385
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:31,120
But you, you take the fruit of 
the vine and all these, these 

386
00:22:31,120 --> 00:22:34,440
grapes that have been been 
squashed and squished and all 

387
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:38,360
those other words that you can 
say crap, you know, to produce 

388
00:22:38,360 --> 00:22:42,320
this juice that whenever I 
partake of it, a lot of 

389
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,560
different grapes that they're 
all smashed together and they 

390
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,160
make this the substance. 
And then whenever I drink it 

391
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,600
later tonight, at the same time 
that you drink it, I have the 

392
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,560
same taste in my mouth that you 
have in your mouth. 

393
00:22:52,360 --> 00:22:55,560
And whenever I eat that bread, 
that's that corn that's been 

394
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:59,120
bruised and crushed and made 
into a flour type thing and the 

395
00:22:59,120 --> 00:23:02,000
right ingredients added for a 
bread to take place. 

396
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,760
Then whenever I eat that, what's
in my mouth is in your mouth 

397
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,520
there, there is a communion, if 
you will. 

398
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,360
We are all involving ourself in 
the same thing at the same time.

399
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,640
And there's a communion then 
that happens. 

400
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:18,800
So just to specify the Old 
Testament, the Old Testament is 

401
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,880
the origin. 
The Old Testament is the origin.

402
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:25,200
Passover, think of that is the 
very origin really of communion.

403
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:29,240
And then whenever you get into 
the Gospels like Matthew and 

404
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,800
John, it is really then the 
institution. 

405
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,960
Whenever the Bible says whenever
supper had ended, then they went

406
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,280
to wash feet. 
But we see that the Lord's 

407
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:42,040
Supper was instituted during the
time of Passover and so provides

408
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,120
then a bridge or connection from
the Old Testament to the New 

409
00:23:45,120 --> 00:23:47,720
Testament. 
But then in Corinthians, the 

410
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,400
apostle Paul in First 
Corinthians chapter #11 he kind 

411
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:55,040
of goes over with some 
clarification concerning how we 

412
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,200
observe, Amen. 
Communion. 

413
00:23:57,360 --> 00:24:01,920
This is what Paul says in First 
Corinthians 1118 and 19. 

414
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:03,960
Amen. 
I'm glad you guys had my time 

415
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:05,200
going so we can keep this 
straight. 

416
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:09,000
For first of all, when you come 
together in the church, I hear 

417
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,800
that there be divisions among 
you. 

418
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:15,440
And I partly believe that he 
says for there must be also 

419
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:21,000
hears hearsays, which means sex 
or party or or clicks like 

420
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:25,080
groups, right factions. 
We could say it like that said 

421
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,240
there's there's there's 
factions, there's parties, 

422
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:31,360
there's clicks among you that 
they which are approved may be 

423
00:24:31,360 --> 00:24:36,080
made manifest among you. 
We just go on just a little 

424
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,640
further here, he says, for he 
that eateth and drinketh 

425
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:43,120
unworthily, he's talking here 
about communion. 

426
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:47,920
Unworthily means irreverently. 
And here's where some people 

427
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:53,520
lose it, right, because they see
unworthily as unworthy. 

428
00:24:54,360 --> 00:24:57,320
Two different words, two 
different words in the English 

429
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,320
language, two different words 
here. 

430
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:03,040
For sure. 
If we were based in our partake 

431
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,440
in the communion, based upon 
worth, we all just might leave 

432
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:12,080
right now and go home and eat 
sausage and Bologna and whatever

433
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:13,960
hang up our hats. 
It would be done. 

434
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,280
It's unworthily. 
It's how you partake. 

435
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,560
They, they were coming in and 
they weren't giving it the 

436
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,840
reverence that it deserved 
because we're talking about 

437
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,640
Christ's death here, right? 
It was just kind of a haphazard,

438
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,720
you know, thing. 
As a matter of fact, they, they 

439
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,280
had these kind of a feast that 
kind of went along with that. 

440
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,960
And it said some were coming in 
and they were just gorging 

441
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,120
themselves with this stuff and 
they were being inconsiderate of

442
00:25:38,120 --> 00:25:40,240
one another as they were going 
in the process. 

443
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,360
It was just kind of just pale 
male, just just totally just 

444
00:25:43,360 --> 00:25:44,880
chaos. 
And he says so. 

445
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:48,400
So he that drinketh unworthily 
or irreverently eateth and drink

446
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,920
of damnation. 
That word there means judgement 

447
00:25:51,120 --> 00:25:55,440
to himself not deserve returning
the Lord's body, not deserting 

448
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,880
the Lord's body. 
Now really whenever it says not 

449
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:01,880
deserting the Lord's body, that 
is like A2 edged sword because 

450
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,320
not deserting the Lord's body 
number one, with the actual 

451
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,680
fruit of the vine and the bread 
that is there. 

452
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,240
But number two, guess what 
Scripture tells us, Corinthians 

453
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:17,600
says that ye, we, the church is 
the body of Christ. 

454
00:26:18,120 --> 00:26:20,200
So they're coming in here 
pushing each other aside, being 

455
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,080
very irreverent. 
They're not, they're not 

456
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,400
discerning or being considerate 
of one another and how they were

457
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,160
even doing this. 
And so he says that we can't 

458
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,160
have none of that. 
You, we, we got to be conscious 

459
00:26:30,360 --> 00:26:32,080
of one another because we're 
going to have communion with 

460
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:33,400
him. 
And as a result, communion, 

461
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,760
communion with one another. 
The Bible says backing back up 

462
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,360
the verse #26 which is an 
awesome verse in my opinion. 

463
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:44,080
It says, for as OFT as ye eat 
this bread and drink this cup. 

464
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,640
Well, how, brother McGee, why do
we just do this once a year? 

465
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:47,960
Well, why don't we do it every 
quarter? 

466
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,680
Why do I? 
Regardless of how many times you

467
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:58,160
do it, it's when you do do it 
that you do it in remembrance of

468
00:26:58,360 --> 00:27:01,560
the Lord. 
All right, there are some things

469
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:05,000
that are taking place. 
There are some I know that 

470
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,200
practice like every week. 
My only thing about that is 

471
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,640
this. 
You take anything like that and 

472
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,360
you do it consistently. 
It sometimes can turn into a 

473
00:27:13,360 --> 00:27:21,640
ritual and lose its message. 
I will state this. 

474
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,000
We are not of the persuasion, 
the Bible even doesn't teach 

475
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:30,760
this, but that when we eat the 
bread and we drink the fruit of 

476
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,760
the vine, that that bread 
actually becomes the body of 

477
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,440
Christ and that that fruit of 
the vine actually becomes the 

478
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,000
blood. 
That's that's a concept called 

479
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:44,560
transubstantiation. 
He was the sacrifice once and 

480
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:49,000
for all, and for that matter, 
when he spoke the words to them 

481
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:54,000
in John 6 about even taking the 
bread because this is my body 

482
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,440
and take this blood, it's my 
blood of the New Testament. 

483
00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:00,720
Calvary hadn't happened yet, So 
what he was giving them in that 

484
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:05,720
moment we see very clearly 
wasn't a literal body and 

485
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:10,960
literal blood symbol symbol 
Amen. 

486
00:28:11,120 --> 00:28:13,840
And so, but look at this, he 
says for as OFT as ye eat this 

487
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:19,200
bread and drink this cup, he 
said ye do shoe the Lord's death

488
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:25,120
all right till he come. 
So this this is also because we 

489
00:28:25,120 --> 00:28:28,560
have a past, present, future 
thing that's going on here. 

490
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:33,000
He says, as you do this here in 
the present, you do show forth 

491
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,720
the Lord's death, which was in 
the past, right? 

492
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:37,960
We're remembering that, we're 
contemplating that. 

493
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,600
He says, till he come in the 
future. 

494
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,480
Remember when Jesus did this 
with his disciples, he said, I 

495
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,440
will not drink this cup again 
with you until we come into my 

496
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,040
Kingdom. 
So there's something awesome 

497
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,120
that's going on when I do this 
tonight. 

498
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,560
I'm reflecting up on what he's 
done for me, but I'm also 

499
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,680
looking forward to him coming 
back for me. 

500
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,200
Amen. 
So there's a lot of remembrance 

501
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,520
of both what he's done and what 
he's going to do in the moment 

502
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:08,200
as we take this tonight, The 
body and the blood, if you will.

503
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:09,600
So there's some things that took
place. 

504
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:13,040
I, I want to look back, Sister 
Milen, I want to consider again 

505
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,160
tonight, Calvary, I want to take
some time as I do this, and I'll

506
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,600
probably have you do it just to 
think, if you can for a moment, 

507
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,600
think about a, a, a, a crown of 
thorns. 

508
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:26,040
Think about the pier, the spirit
that pierced his side. 

509
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:29,680
Think about the cat of nine 
Tails that was laid up on his 

510
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,840
back with the metal and the bone
that was in them that were 

511
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,800
ripping chunks of his flesh off 
that his very entrails insides 

512
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:40,840
were exposed. 
Think of, I mean, consider that 

513
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:48,040
and then remember that was for 
you and remember that should 

514
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:54,560
have been you. 
And so then I switched from that

515
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,640
and I think about the one that 
died for me, the one that 

516
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,360
sacrificed for me, the one that 
shed his blood for me. 

517
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,240
He said he's going to come back 
for me. 

518
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,640
So that where he is, there I may
be also. 

519
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,840
He's already given me his spirit
and he's given me something 

520
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,640
that's going to allow my feet to
get up off the ground someday. 

521
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,480
Hallelujah. 
Hey man, that when that last 

522
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:17,240
Trump sound, the dead in Christ 
shall arise, and we which are 

523
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,000
alive and remain shall be caught
together to meet him in the air,

524
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:21,920
and so shall we ever be with the
Lord. 

525
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:30,360
I want to think about paths, but
I think one reason this is 

526
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,400
personal thing, I think one 
reason this ordinance is in 

527
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,720
place speaks to us. 
How many times even the Old 

528
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,600
Testament and New Testament does
Christ come, Amen. 

529
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:40,720
Or is that spoken? 
He's constantly telling his 

530
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,440
disciples basically this 
layman's terms. 

531
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:50,080
Don't forget about me over and 
over and over. 

532
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,160
And it's a struggle yet that we 
deal with today. 

533
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,040
Do I go to church? 
Yeah. 

534
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:59,560
But do you really consider, like
some of the things I'm talking 

535
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,240
about just really consider. 
I mean, it's just, you know, 

536
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,040
it's the Easter summer. 
Oh, he, he died and was buried 

537
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,480
and roast again. 
But when we really consider 

538
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,040
sometimes we cheapen the 
sacrifice. 

539
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:20,240
So this is a purposeful moment 
to take remembrance, a 

540
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,320
purposeful moment to take 
remembrance. 

541
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,480
And so we're doing all of that. 
And so we're, we're, we're going

542
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,760
to, we will examine ourselves. 
Corinthians tells us that we 

543
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,800
should examine ourselves, you 
know, before taking communion. 

544
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,840
It's a good time for repentance,
you know, before taking 

545
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:39,360
communion to examine ourselves. 
And so I'm, I'm, I'm even in the

546
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,120
process of doing I'm, I'm 
looking around and let me just 

547
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,520
going to advance that one. 
I'm looking around and I'm 

548
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,360
considering not just me about 
I'm considering about my 

549
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,040
brothers and sisters in Christ 
as well. 

550
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:51,520
What are we talking about? 
Communion. 

551
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:55,080
All right, so let me jump on 
forward to foot washing. 

552
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,800
That was the communion lesson. 
That usually takes an hour on a 

553
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,040
different day. 
So let's go on to foot washing. 

554
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:04,960
All right, foot washing. 
I mean, someone's cringing right

555
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:10,000
now, you know, And you know, the
fact of the matter is, you know,

556
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,840
even still yet today, there are,
there are other religions that 

557
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,280
they may not practice it 
corporately, but their 

558
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:21,880
leadership or their number one 
guy will choose a beggar and 

559
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:26,800
wash their feet. 
And, you know, there are certain

560
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:30,920
connotations with that, that, 
oh, this guy must be a very 

561
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,200
humble man. 
He washed the beggar's feet as 

562
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:40,160
they broadcast it. 
There's something there that's a

563
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:45,120
little ironic that we're going 
to showcase an act of humility. 

564
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:48,840
Sorry. 
Amen. 

565
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,120
And so, well, there's other 
things I could do. 

566
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,040
I could feed, you know, someone.
Oh, yeah. 

567
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,440
Or I, I could do something else.
That would be an act of 

568
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:57,280
humility. 
Sure. 

569
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,320
But there's something about foot
washing. 

570
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,960
You say, well, I feel awkward. 
That's what I'm talking about. 

571
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:09,080
That's what I'm talking about. 
In that, then there is a sense 

572
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:12,720
of of a humbling because of the 
awkwardness of it. 

573
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:17,720
And the Old Testament had 
examples of feet that were 

574
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,400
washed. 
We read of Abraham and Sarah in 

575
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:21,880
their tent. 
They were visited by a few 

576
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:26,120
angels and Abraham, Abraham at 
first really didn't recognize 

577
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:29,200
this as such, but he seen them 
as guests. 

578
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:33,240
He offered them into his place. 
There he provided water or their

579
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,160
feet so that they could wash 
their feet. 

580
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:40,840
Then there's there's a lot 
that's there in Sodom and he's 

581
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,840
visited by some angels again, he
doesn't quite pick up on that 

582
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:47,280
these are angelic beans sees 
them as guest and he provides 

583
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,880
water for them to wash their 
feet. 

584
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:55,040
The Bible speaks that whenever 
Abraham sent his servant out for

585
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:59,240
to find a wife for Isaac and 
that servant finally ends up at 

586
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:03,040
Laban's house searching for that
bride Rebecca, that Laban 

587
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,720
invited him again and again as a
as a point of hospitality, as a 

588
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:11,080
guest in his home, he provided 
water for that Abraham's servant

589
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,040
to wash his feet. 
Joseph's brothers, they come and

590
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:17,199
visit Joseph of Egypt. 
Joseph hasn't made himself yet 

591
00:34:17,199 --> 00:34:20,080
known and to his brothers and 
the stewardess of Joseph's 

592
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:21,159
house. 
So guess what he did? 

593
00:34:21,159 --> 00:34:24,480
He provided water for all these 
folks so that they would wash 

594
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,159
their feet. 
And then we we get this right. 

595
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,040
They're living in a different 
time than we are array. 

596
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,560
They don't have these enclosed 
shoes like we do. 

597
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:36,800
They just have like a sole. 
I'm not talking about SOUL. 

598
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:40,320
They had that too. 
But SOLE, the sole, you know, 

599
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,120
that all the dirt, the animals 
that went through the roads and 

600
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,880
what was left behind, the 
animals, you know, that 

601
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:48,840
collected it. 
Not, you know. 

602
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,840
And so a guest come to your home
when you're going to eat at a 

603
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:57,040
table where you typically 
reclined on the elbow with your 

604
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,120
feet away from the table or over
close to your neighbor. 

605
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:07,160
You know, a little hygiene 
doesn't hurt, Sister Erica, you 

606
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:07,720
know? 
Yeah. 

607
00:35:07,720 --> 00:35:10,000
I'm going to provide you some 
water for your feet. 

608
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,400
The Bible even says in the book 
of Judges talk about an old man 

609
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,080
that brought in the Levite and 
his concubine and again, he 

610
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:21,040
provided water for their feet 
that they might wash their feet.

611
00:35:21,720 --> 00:35:24,680
And it was a big thing among 
Judaism, right? 

612
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,600
It was an act of service. 
It was an act of hospitality to 

613
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:31,760
provide water for someone to 
wash the feet of another. 

614
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:37,080
With that being said, I don't 
know if I have this on here 

615
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,320
examples I gave them. 
Who will wash? 

616
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:45,000
With that being said, typically 
Old Testament the guest washed 

617
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,800
his own feet, right? 
Or there could be those 

618
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:52,920
occasions where a servant or a 
slave, and I say that term 

619
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:56,480
gingerly, would come and wash 
the feet of the guest. 

620
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:00,840
There are even some occasions 
that the son of the host that 

621
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,920
was hosting the meeting, the son
would come and wash the feet. 

622
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,320
Matter of fact, that was a very 
high compliment for the son to 

623
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:11,800
wash the feet. 
But the highest mark of respect 

624
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:18,080
was when the host himself would 
bend down and wash the guest's 

625
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,600
feet. 
Guess what is always fascinating

626
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,240
about me? 
Or not about me, but about 

627
00:36:23,240 --> 00:36:25,960
Scripture? 
Nothing fascinating about me. 

628
00:36:26,720 --> 00:36:32,400
This is all you get, folks. 
I'm sorry to disappoint, but 

629
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,440
Amaya, typically the guest would
wash their own feet. 

630
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,520
Be responsible for their own 
feet. 

631
00:36:40,720 --> 00:36:43,680
But see, Jesus has always 
operated in the upside down 

632
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,440
Kingdom. 
He that wants to be the 

633
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:50,480
greatest, be the least. 
Save your life, lose it, lose 

634
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:57,240
your life, save it. 
Jesus in John 13, he's taken off

635
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:00,720
the vesture that identifies his 
placement in society and he's 

636
00:37:00,720 --> 00:37:06,680
girding a towel around his waist
and he starts to wash each 

637
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:10,680
disciple's feet. 
On one hand, he was really the 

638
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,720
son of the host. 
On another hand, he was the 

639
00:37:13,720 --> 00:37:19,400
host, the greatest, if you will,
of privilege him doing what he 

640
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,120
did. 
But also I see this, if usually 

641
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:25,440
the person with the water pill 
that came on the journey would 

642
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,560
wash their feet, take 
responsibility for their feet. 

643
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:32,360
I see brother Pat as as Jesus 
goes around, he says today I'm 

644
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,200
going to take responsibility for
your feet. 

645
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:44,280
You want to talk about a loving 
your neighbor scenario because 

646
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,880
here's the fact of the matter 
there, you can't see it, but 

647
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:50,800
there is a thread that knits me 
to you and you to me in this 

648
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:52,960
body. 
Every joint supply as the Bible 

649
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:58,000
says, every joint, the tendons 
and everything there, there is 

650
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:02,080
this correlation. 
You supply what I lack, I supply

651
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:05,160
what you lack. 
And so in this tonight, through 

652
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,000
foot washing, you know, we're 
taking some time. 

653
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,680
I'm going to take some 
responsibility for my brother's 

654
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:13,600
feet. 
I'm going to take some 

655
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:15,720
responsibility for, for so and 
so's feet. 

656
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:19,840
And so, so that we see this in 
the act then of of foot washing.

657
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:25,240
And so here's the thing, Luke 
chapter 22 and look at it. 

658
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:27,560
I got a couple of verses here 
and I'm going to read to verse 

659
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:34,320
#27 This whole scenario that 
that is right here is there's 

660
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,800
some debates going on about who 
is the greatest among the 

661
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:41,800
disciples. 
You know, I mean, if you 

662
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:46,720
remember a story one time the 
sons of Zebedee, their Mama went

663
00:38:46,720 --> 00:38:49,600
and talked to Jesus one night 
and she said, Jesus, when they 

664
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,240
come in, whenever you come into 
your Kingdom, can can you give 

665
00:38:52,240 --> 00:38:55,520
little, you know, the sons of 
Thunder, my boys, can you give 

666
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:59,640
one of them a place on the right
hand and another one on the left

667
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,200
hand? 
And he says, well, it's not mine

668
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:04,000
to give. 
Can they indeed be baptized? 

669
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:08,680
She was just trying to posture 
her kids right in the in a place

670
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,280
of importance. 
And we see this discussion 

671
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,000
taking place among the 
disciples. 

672
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:16,880
So they want to know, you know, 
who's who's the disciple, you 

673
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,680
know who's who's got it, got it 
all bag of chips, you know. 

674
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:24,640
And so verse #24 says, And there
was also a strife among them, 

675
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,240
which of them should be 
accounted the greatest. 

676
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:31,120
And he said unto them, The kings
of the Gentiles exercise 

677
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,720
lordship over them, and they 
that exercise authority upon 

678
00:39:34,720 --> 00:39:39,840
them are called benefactors. 
Verse #26 But ye shall not be 

679
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,200
so. 
But he that is greatest among 

680
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:46,480
you, let him be as the younger, 
and he that is chief, as he that

681
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,760
doeth serve. 
For whether is greater? 

682
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:50,960
He that sitteth the meat, or he 
that serveth? 

683
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:54,640
Is not he that sitteth the meat?
But I am among you. 

684
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:58,760
Jesus is saying this. 
I am among you as he that 

685
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:02,200
serveth. 
And so whenever supper has 

686
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:05,360
ended, I'm telling you. 
Leading up to this, this is the 

687
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,680
type of stuff that's going on. 
They're posturing for who's the 

688
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:10,160
greatest. 
So here's all these things. 

689
00:40:10,240 --> 00:40:12,520
They're sitting in this 
scenario. 

690
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,000
They've all been talking about 
who's the greatest one, thinking

691
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,960
they're better than the other. 
And among them, nobody arises to

692
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:25,040
wash feet except Jesus, their 
master, their Lord. 

693
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:31,080
Supper being ended, He washes, 
He washes and the tensions maybe

694
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:34,480
start to fall a little bit as 
this starts to take place. 

695
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:37,720
And the amazing thing about 
Jesus, look, he wasn't choosing 

696
00:40:37,720 --> 00:40:41,160
with whose feet he washed. 
He wasn't picky. 

697
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:44,320
He wasn't like, well, I'll take 
care of Peter and Matthew, but 

698
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:49,080
I'm not, I'm not doing Judas. 
Judas was present. 

699
00:40:50,720 --> 00:40:53,200
We're talking about gob roped in
flesh, Tracy. 

700
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:58,240
You know what he knew as God? 
This guy's going to betray me. 

701
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:01,520
He's going to lay a kiss on my 
cheek in the garden. 

702
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,000
It's going to be the kiss of 
betrayal that's going to lead to

703
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,240
crucifix. 
He knew that. 

704
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:12,320
And yet knowing that he bends 
down in front of Judas and says,

705
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,400
I'm going to be responsible for 
these feet. 

706
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:18,720
I've oftimes said it, the Bible 
says that the enemy has already 

707
00:41:18,720 --> 00:41:20,080
been dealing with Judas at this 
point. 

708
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:24,440
He is, he's trying to, he is 
trying to organize how and when 

709
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:26,480
would be the right time to 
betray the Lord. 

710
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:30,040
And I always think of it this 
way, that this foot washing 

711
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:34,040
thing was the last ditch effort 
for Judas because his heart was 

712
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:35,480
already being persuaded by the 
enemy. 

713
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:37,960
And the only thing I can say is 
I, this is the way I see it. 

714
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:41,160
The Lord's there and saying, you
know what, his heart is already 

715
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:43,680
being swayed, but I'm still 
going to try to direct his feet.

716
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:48,000
I'm going to I'm going to try to
take responsibility for this. 

717
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:49,880
And so the one who betrayed him 
watched it. 

718
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:56,800
Peter, Lord, I'll go with you 
all the way, Lord, even to the 

719
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:58,880
death. 
Lord, I go to you that that was 

720
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,040
his play. 
Kennedy, I'll go with you all 

721
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:02,640
the way. 
Lord, I'm I'm your number one 

722
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:08,360
man all the way. 
And Jesus says Peter, he says, 

723
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:13,600
you're going to deny me three 
times before the cock crows. 

724
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:15,520
He knew that was going to 
happen. 

725
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,800
And yet the one that's going to 
the 9, there's the Lord with his

726
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:24,200
towel and his wash basin, huh. 
He knew it. 

727
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:27,280
The reason why I say that we 
wouldn't bring one towel wash 

728
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:29,400
basin for some people that's 
done this wrong in our life, but

729
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:31,200
he knew they were going to and 
he did it anyway. 

730
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:37,440
Now that's that's a big piece of
humble pie. 

731
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:43,400
Amen to do that him doing that 
was not advocating that what 

732
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:47,800
they were going to do was right.
No, not at all. 

733
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,360
That's not what he was doing, 
but he was trying to show them 

734
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:52,320
by example. 
Really when you look at 

735
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:53,960
communion again, you look at the
Washington. 

736
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:58,680
It's all about love and who 
loving the Bible says in in John

737
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:03,880
13 verse one and John 13 holds 
the story of foot washing there 

738
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:07,280
in the New Testament Scripture. 
It's in John 13 one that the 

739
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:11,440
Lord speaks that he's like all 
these have been given to me and 

740
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:14,080
I'm going to love them till the 
end is what the Lord said. 

741
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:17,400
And so we see some of the verses
after the foot washing and such 

742
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:21,760
has has taken place. 
John 13 verse 34 he says a new 

743
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:27,160
commandment I give you given to 
you that you love one another as

744
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:31,320
I have loved you that ye also 
love one another. 

745
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:36,480
Verse 35 by this y'all all men 
know that ye are my disciples If

746
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:42,320
ye have love one to another and 
we're like Lord, I don't know, 

747
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:45,000
but you've already talked to us 
about loving our neighbor 

748
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,000
scenario. 
You've already told us about 

749
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,640
loving our neighbor. 
So God we're you know what's 

750
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:52,480
what's so new about this 
commandment compared to the fact

751
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,120
that you already told us to love
our neighbor. 

752
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:58,520
I think the prescription in that
is this, that he got very plain 

753
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,160
brother Trout. 
It wasn't just love your 

754
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:04,760
neighbor, but love your neighbor
as I've loved you. 

755
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:09,560
Wait a minute. 
He's giving us a gauge. 

756
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:12,560
He's giving us a standard to go 
by, right? 

757
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:15,400
Because we're we're, we're the 
type of people we always want to

758
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:19,640
know how far we're supposed to 
go with our love, right? 

759
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:24,160
Tell me how much so I know where
the the perimeter of the line is

760
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:25,960
and I can go that far and no 
further. 

761
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:30,240
Just that was the whole story in
scripture of the Good Samaritan.

762
00:44:30,240 --> 00:44:35,040
Really it was the whole Good 
Samaritan story was really about

763
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:37,400
people wanting to know how far 
they should go with their love. 

764
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:41,160
That was the answer when he said
there was a man that fell among 

765
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:45,560
thieves on his way from from 
Jerusalem to, to, to Jericho, 

766
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:47,200
that he fell amongst the 
thieves, right. 

767
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:51,840
And the priest comes and he 
looks over there and walks on 

768
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,720
by. 
And then the, the, the, the 

769
00:44:54,720 --> 00:44:57,440
Levite comes. 
He kind of goes to where he is, 

770
00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:59,880
considers the condition, but 
doesn't do anything. 

771
00:44:59,880 --> 00:45:04,400
He just walks on by and then a 
Samaritan comes and goes to 

772
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:09,560
where he is, puts, puts the 
healing agents that he had on 

773
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:12,520
him on his body, sets him on his
own beast and take him to the 

774
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:15,560
end and said if there's anything
else that of the 'cause I'll 

775
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:17,520
take care of it the next day. 
What is that all about? 

776
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:19,960
He was dealing with people that 
want to know how far should we 

777
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,920
go in this love thing? 
Because everybody thought, you 

778
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:26,280
know, a priest for sure, a 
Levite for sure. 

779
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:30,040
But when you get to a Samaritan,
that's the half Jew, half 

780
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:33,160
Gentile that they thought low 
down, dirty dogs. 

781
00:45:34,720 --> 00:45:38,000
And usually whenever we tell the
story, if you give no other 

782
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:41,200
specifications, you're usually 
imagining somebody like yourself

783
00:45:42,240 --> 00:45:45,640
of your race, of your kind as 
the stories being told. 

784
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:49,000
And So what we have here 
predominantly is a man among 

785
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:52,280
these, which they probably 
assumed was a Jewish person, but

786
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:54,560
it was a Samaritan then that was
helping the Jew. 

787
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:56,360
He says, you want to know how 
far you go. 

788
00:45:56,600 --> 00:46:00,440
He says you go, you go priest, 
you go Levite, you go Samaritan,

789
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:03,480
you go to the outer right, you 
go to the uttermost parts. 

790
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:06,280
That's how far love goes. 
And so Christ says, I've done 

791
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:08,200
all of this. 
He said I've done all this to 

792
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:11,760
give you an example. 
Love one another, but do it as I

793
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:14,880
have loved you. 
That's the standard and what 

794
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:18,320
I've done until you go and do 
likewise. 

795
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,720
Look, if you will, at verse #44 
of Luke 7. 

796
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:24,600
And I'm trying to tramp along 
here if I can get it done in 3 

797
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:30,400
minutes. 
And he turned to the woman. 

798
00:46:30,720 --> 00:46:33,200
This is just a neat example. 
And again this is about love. 

799
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:35,800
And he turned to the woman and 
said unto Simon. 

800
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:38,160
Jesus went to Simon's house, and
this woman had come in. 

801
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:41,680
See us Now this woman I entered 
in thine house, and thou gave us

802
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:44,680
me no water for my feet, because
that was hospitality, right? 

803
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:50,280
But she hath washed my feet with
tears, and wiped them with the 

804
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:52,840
hairs of her head. 
Thou gave us me no kisses. 

805
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:56,840
But this woman, since the time I
came in, if not ceased to kiss 

806
00:46:56,840 --> 00:46:59,960
my feet again, something that 
was customary, my head with oil,

807
00:46:59,960 --> 00:47:02,680
thou didst not anoint. 
But this woman hath anointed my 

808
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:05,200
feet with ointment. 
Wherefore I say unto thee, her 

809
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:09,040
sins which are many are 
forgiven, and I've left you all 

810
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,520
behind, haven't I? 
Her sins, which are many are 

811
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:13,680
forgiven. 
For she loved everybody, say 

812
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:18,360
loved, loved much, but to whom 
little is forgiven, the same 

813
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:22,960
loveth little. 
See, it should have been Simon's

814
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:27,680
responsibility to provide water.
It should have been Simon's 

815
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:31,640
responsibility for the oil and 
and the gestures of greetings. 

816
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:34,200
All of that should have been his
responsibility, he says. 

817
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:37,040
But this woman that has come in 
off the street, she's used the 

818
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:40,800
tears from her face, the hair on
her head, and she's anointed me 

819
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:42,800
and she's done. 
You know what's you know what's 

820
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:47,680
provoked all of this, Simon, she
loves me. 

821
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:52,440
She loves me. 
It wasn't her responsibility, 

822
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:54,680
Simon. 
This, I'm not a guest in her 

823
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:58,520
house, but she has come in 
something that's not her 

824
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:01,560
obligation. 
And she's done all of this out 

825
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:07,440
of love, which ties to this, 
what Christ did then in John 13 

826
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:09,800
with washing feet. 
You know what it was really 

827
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:15,880
spawning out of? 
It was spawning out of love for 

828
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:20,640
Peter and Judas and Bartholomew 
and each one of them with their 

829
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:23,240
own little quirks and nuances of
life. 

830
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:30,400
He loved them. 
And so communion, I'm thinking, 

831
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:33,200
I'm pondering, I'm reflecting 
backwards and forwards. 

832
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:37,360
I'm loving God washing feet. 
I'm going to take some 

833
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:40,320
responsibility in your life, 
right? 

834
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:44,880
I'm going to I'm going to do 
unto you as he did unto them, 

835
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:47,200
right? 
It's an act of humility. 

836
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,600
Absolutely. 
Can you do other stuff too that 

837
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:50,800
does that? 
Absolutely. 

838
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:54,120
But I'm just saying he said this
is the example as I have done so

839
00:48:54,120 --> 00:49:01,440
go and do likewise in the 
scripture and I'm I'm wrapping 

840
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:05,240
this thing up. 
You remember the story whenever 

841
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:11,360
Jesus was on trial and Pilate, 
it was back and forth between, I

842
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:13,080
really find no fault in this 
man. 

843
00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:16,480
But there was all the pressure 
of the crowd that he was kind of

844
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:20,680
caving in and he finally asked 
for a basin of water and he 

845
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:23,600
washed his hands and he 
basically told the crowd, you 

846
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:25,040
just go do what you want with 
him. 

847
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:29,640
I am not responsible that that's
what that that symbolism of him 

848
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:31,720
washing the hands, that's what 
it was portraying and telling. 

849
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:36,320
I'm not responsible for whatever
takes place that was pilot with 

850
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:40,080
Jesus, right? 
It's your responsibility to do 

851
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:43,640
with it as you want. 
But when we look at Jesus in 

852
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:47,480
John 13, he's getting a basin 
too, but he's washing his 

853
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:50,400
disciples feet and he's taking 
responsibility. 

854
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:54,080
Responsibility for what even 
Peter thought was below him. 

855
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:55,920
You're not going to wash my 
feet, Lord Never. 

856
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:59,440
No, he takes a responsibility. 
So I guess my question tonight 

857
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:05,440
is this, will we grab a basin 
tonight for washing our hands? 

858
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:09,160
And it's not my responsibility 
or grab one for washing feet 

859
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:11,440
saying I'm going to invest right
here. 

860
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:15,560
I'm going to I'm going to show 
an action and act of loving, 

861
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:19,200
loving my neighbor. 
Amen. 

862
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:22,760
If you understand with me 
tonight, those who desire to 

863
00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:26,320
participate in the communion, 
part of the service is happening

864
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:29,160
right now. 
If you desire to, to participate

865
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:32,280
in that ask you just come by, 
grab one of these little cups, 

866
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:36,200
the wafers on top and the fruit 
of the vine is inside of the 

867
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:38,640
cup. 
So you can come even as I speak 

868
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:42,480
in orderly fashion and, and grab
a cup and we're going to read 

869
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:45,800
some scripture and we will 
participate in this together. 

870
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:49,080
All right. 
And before we read the Scripture

871
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:51,520
and we participate in this, 
we'll take a moment of time, 

872
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:56,320
Amen, for prayer and a 
reflection and asking for 

873
00:50:56,320 --> 00:51:00,440
forgiveness if there's areas of 
your life that need forgiveness.

874
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:03,160
And we're going to do this in 
the irreverent manner, of 

875
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:05,560
course. 
And we're going to consider the 

876
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:09,160
body that was bruised and 
pierced and beat up, the blood 

877
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:12,880
that was shed for both our sin 
and our sickness. 

878
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:15,720
We're going to do all of that 
here this evening. 

879
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:18,400
Amen. 
This is a memorial forever 

880
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:21,240
ordinance, Amen. 
We're going to remember the 

881
00:51:21,240 --> 00:51:24,600
freedom deliverance of the 
Israelites from bondage, Amen. 

882
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:26,680
To our personal deliverance, 
Amen. 

883
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:30,520
The Calvary has afforded us the 
sacrificial body and the 

884
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:34,200
sacrificial blood, and there 
should be enough up here for 

885
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:37,000
everyone, Amen. 
To my knowledge tonight, 

886
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:40,880
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, 
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, 

887
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:49,920
Hallelujah, Amen, Amen. 
I'm asking us this evening here 

888
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:53,400
if we can just take a moment of 
time here tonight and let's just

889
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:56,920
have I know we've done praying 
and such, but let's pray here 

890
00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:59,480
this evening personally for 
yourself. 

891
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:03,080
If there's any iniquity your 
regard in your heart, I ask that

892
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:05,120
you would just ask for 
repentance tonight. 

893
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:09,120
Let's talk to God and just have 
a moment here of consideration 

894
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:13,400
of has done Amen concerning 
Calvary for us. 

895
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:37,640
God trying me, Lord hearings. 
God, God, God, your spirit, oh 

896
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:41,480
God, everything that is unlike 
you, that's not all the light 

897
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:45,920
and God, that's not all. 
Time to the Lord with your plan.

898
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:48,600
God, I want to walk. 
Lord, a bright Lord for you. 

899
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:54,440
I pray, Oh God, purge, Oh God, 
purge my mind and my thoughts. 

900
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:59,560
I pray, Oh God, I want to 
consider the Lord Jesus to 

901
00:52:59,960 --> 00:53:02,160
sacrifice the Lord that was made
for me. 

902
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:05,680
I want to consider, Oh, Lord 
Jesus, the meanings that were 

903
00:53:05,720 --> 00:53:09,920
taken on my behalf, God, the 
blood that was shed, Lord Jesus,

904
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:12,600
God for me. 
God, it should have been Lord, 

905
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:15,680
my peace, it should have been. 
Lord my life, God, it should 

906
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:18,240
have been me. 
God placed their Lord from that 

907
00:53:18,240 --> 00:53:20,600
cross. 
The Lord it was you, God, You 

908
00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:21,960
took my place. 
God. 

909
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:25,360
You're the ultimate Lord 
substitute, Lord Jesus for my 

910
00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:27,680
life. 
God, I thank you, Lord, for 

911
00:53:27,720 --> 00:53:30,400
bearing your party. 
Lord, my sin, I thank you. 

912
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:33,360
Lord, you took the handwritings 
of the ordinances that were 

913
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:36,240
against me. 
You nailed the Lord to a tree, 

914
00:53:36,240 --> 00:53:38,760
and I'm grateful today, Lord 
Jesus, for that. 

915
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:41,520
I don't want it, Lord, to become
Jesus in my mind. 

916
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:45,920
I don't want it to become Lord 
Jesus, God of no power to me. 

917
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:50,040
I wanted Lord Jesus to be as 
real God to me now as it was. 

918
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:53,680
Lord, when I first come to know 
you, God stirred up Lord, in my 

919
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:55,560
mind, stirred up God in my 
heart. 

920
00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:58,120
Tell me, Lord, I just remember 
what has been done. 

921
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:01,800
But God also anticipate, Lord, 
that you're coming back to me, 

922
00:54:02,240 --> 00:54:03,960
God, you're coming back for your
church. 

923
00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:06,640
You're coming back, God, for 
your children, Lord, to take 

924
00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:23,330
them. 
Hallelujah, in the name of 

925
00:54:23,530 --> 00:54:27,130
Jesus, I'm going to read First 
Corinthians Chapter 11 and verse

926
00:54:27,130 --> 00:54:29,770
24. 
The Bible says, and you can 

927
00:54:29,850 --> 00:54:32,370
remove that first little flap of
paper there that gives you 

928
00:54:32,370 --> 00:54:34,850
access to that bread or that 
wafer. 

929
00:54:35,090 --> 00:54:39,090
The Bible says and when he had 
given thanks, he break it and 

930
00:54:39,090 --> 00:54:44,000
said, take, eat. 
This is my body which is broken 

931
00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:48,840
for you. 
This do in remembrance of me, if

932
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:52,520
you will, just put that wafer in
your mouth and just remember, if

933
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:57,080
you will, the broken body of the
Lord Jesus Christ. 

934
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:18,600
Holy God, holy God, thank you 
Jesus, thank you Jesus verse 25 

935
00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:23,200
says and after the same manner 
also he took the cup and when he

936
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:27,720
had Sup saying this cup is the 
New Testament in my blood. 

937
00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:33,600
This do as OFT as you drink it 
in remembrance of me, if you 

938
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:35,680
will. 
Tonight can partake of the fruit

939
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:42,000
of the cup and remember both the
blood and the body. 

940
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:46,200
Hallelujah Jesus, the New 
Testament in his blood. 

941
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:52,120
Hallelujah, Jesus. 
The law could do nothing for our

942
00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:56,360
sin but point out our sin, but 
the blood could wash away our 

943
00:55:56,360 --> 00:55:59,320
sin. 
Thank you Jesus for the blood. 

944
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:03,560
Thank you Jesus for the body 
that made the blood available. 

945
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:07,000
Thank you Jesus for the 
sacrifice. 

946
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:12,680
God, I was so undeserving, God, 
so undeserving, but you did it 

947
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:16,880
for me anyway, God, and I have 
failed so many times, Lord, from

948
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:19,480
the point that I first come to 
know you until now. 

949
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:24,200
But God, you forgive and your 
patient and your long-suffering.

950
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:26,960
God, there's times I've 
crucified you afresh, so to 

951
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:30,280
speak, God with my actions, the 
Lord and the things that I have 

952
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:32,680
done. 
But Lord, your sacrifice is 

953
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:35,120
enough. 
Your sacrifice is enough. 

954
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:39,160
Your blood and body is enough. 
God, never will there be another

955
00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:42,120
sacrifice. 
It's the once for all, ever, 

956
00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:45,840
forever sacrifice. 
Thank you Jesus tonight for it. 

957
00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:50,440
Oh, thank you Lord Jesus for it.
God, I know when you was on the 

958
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:53,360
cross, I was on your mind. 
I know you was looking through 

959
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:57,240
the annals of time and you seen 
a young little boy that was 

960
00:56:57,240 --> 00:56:59,920
going to need salvation, going 
to need a cleansing of sin. 

961
00:57:00,240 --> 00:57:03,360
And I thank you today, God, I 
was born a Sinner. 

962
00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:06,400
I was born a Sinner. 
But God, through you I can be 

963
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:08,400
born again. 
And I'm grateful today, 

964
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:11,720
Hallelujah, for the sacrifice 
that made that available to 

965
00:57:11,720 --> 00:57:19,200
little and me, that made that 
available to Paul McGee. 

966
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:25,000
Hallelujah, Jesus, Hallelujah, 
Jesus, Oh, the blood of Jesus 

967
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:30,200
that washes us as white as snow.
Hallelujah for my sin, for my 

968
00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:32,920
sickness. 
God, it still flows, it still 

969
00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:35,600
meets the Lord God, the needs of
humanity. 

970
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:39,520
And I'm grateful today for that.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, 

971
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:43,240
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, 
Hallelujah, Jesus, we love you, 

972
00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:46,400
Lord, we love you, Lord, we love
you, Lord, we love you, Lord, we

973
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:48,880
love you. 
And we thank you God. 

974
00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:50,920
Oh God. 
As we do this in the present, we

975
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:53,880
remember the past and look 
toward the future. 

976
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:58,200
We love God, we love you, Lord, 
we love you, Lord, we love you. 

977
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:02,720
Lord, someone say Amen. 
If you desire to participate in 

978
00:58:02,720 --> 00:58:05,280
the foot washing of the service,
Amen. 

979
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:07,200
It takes place in the fellowship
hall. 

980
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:09,320
The middle door dividers will be
closed. 

981
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:11,760
The women will be on this side 
of the fellowship hall. 

982
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:14,400
The men will be on that side of 
the fellowship hall. 

983
00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:17,480
The women will get their water 
from the sink in the kitchen. 

984
00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:20,040
All right. 
Pardon me. 

985
00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:23,480
It's fine. 
It's just the way it is. 

986
00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:25,680
It's like you could get it early
and have cold water, whatever 

987
00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:27,760
you want to do. 
And the men will get our water 

988
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:30,840
from the mudroom cleaning room, 
their brother Reese. 

989
00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:32,960
And we'll have a time. 
We'll have prayer. 

990
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:36,000
Amen. 
And we'll wash one another's 

991
00:58:36,240 --> 00:58:36,840
Amen. 
Feet. 

992
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:39,200
If you brought a towel, if you 
need to get it, be a good time 

993
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:40,520
to get it. 
If you're not going to 

994
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:43,200
participate in this part of the 
service, you're free to go. 

995
00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:45,640
You're free to be dismissed at 
this time. 

996
00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:48,640
But please don't forget that 
we're back here tomorrow night. 

997
00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:50,640
All right? 
Doors are open from 7:00 and 

998
00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:54,480
8:00 to seven, from some from 
7:00 to 8:00 for prayer here at 

999
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:57,480
the church. 
There will be prayer guides out 

1000
00:58:57,480 --> 00:58:59,960
on that table in the foyer. 
When you come in each night, 

1001
00:58:59,960 --> 00:59:01,560
there's a prayer guide that will
be out there. 

1002
00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:04,560
That's the focus of the evening 
of our praying. 

1003
00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:06,840
You can take that prayer guide 
with you when you leave or you 

1004
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:08,520
leave it on the table back there
when you leave. 

1005
00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:11,000
Don't leave it in the sanctuary 
because we don't want to stress 

1006
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:13,360
out Brother Reese. 
But if you, if you want to leave

1007
00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:16,480
it, you can leave it on that 
table or take it home with you. 

1008
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:18,120
Amen. 
God bless you tonight. 

1009
00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:19,920
Thank you for being in the House
of the Lord.
