God is doing an amazing thing. 12 00:00:35,700 --> 00:00:37,200 I don't know who you are, so thank you. 13 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,500 I don't know who anybody who gives money because it would 14 00:00:39,500 --> 00:00:46,300 stop me being offensive.

So, as my friend Andre said he 17 00:00:58,500 --> 00:01:00,500 said, Rory, you like a home-cooked meal, that's what 18 00:01:00,500 --> 00:01:02,100 happens. I can also go on the road and 19 00:01:02,100 --> 00:01:05,300 give you my best sermon. Actually, you can't actually 20 00:01:05,300 --> 00:01:10,000 have prawns for starters.

You can't have that every week 23 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,300 you get sick and it feels like we've had that a just this 24 00:01:19,300 --> 00:01:22,000 unbelievable high level of the best preaching. 25 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:23,300 I tell you some of the best preaching. 26 00:01:23,300 --> 00:01:26,000 I don't agree with all of it, but it's good for us. 27 00:01:26,700 --> 00:01:30,100 I mean, you know, the five-point calvinist, Tim Keller, let more 28 00:01:30,100 --> 00:01:33,600 people to Jesus in the last decade than anybody else, you 29 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,500 know, he Doesn't even believe in the gifts of the holy spirit. 30 00:01:36,500 --> 00:01:40,200 He just believes in Calvinism, you know, and the sovereignty of 31 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,700 God and so God uses all kinds of people and I think it's good for 32 00:01:43,700 --> 00:01:45,700 us to have these people. I tell you rubber, Eva says our 33 00:01:45,700 --> 00:01:48,400 next door, neighbors. When we move to Pretoria said, 34 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,200 we saw them on the side of a field yesterday and she said, 35 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,300 there is no way that a man can humanly preach like that. 36 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,500 I mean, he's so full of God, he didn't open his Bible and he 37 00:01:58,500 --> 00:02:01,000 must have quoted foot. T Bible verses. 38 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,800 He's 70 years old, he's getting more powerful. 39 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,699 Tom, I talked to him and it's good for us, it's it exposes us 40 00:02:08,699 --> 00:02:11,100 to stuff in it and it deal we Protestants. 41 00:02:11,100 --> 00:02:13,000 Remember we're not Catholics we Protestants. 42 00:02:13,300 --> 00:02:17,000 That means we protest and so even I don't have to be right. 43 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,900 I'm not trying to be right, I just want us to protest and then 44 00:02:19,900 --> 00:02:22,400 we go back and we read the Bible and we protest through the 45 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,300 scriptures and we protest at one another. 46 00:02:24,500 --> 00:02:27,800 And that's the way we find the truth and I think these men have 47 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,400 been unbelievable gifts to us over this time Greg Robb. 48 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,400 And right, Bevin, I mean some of the stuff he said, I I've never 49 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,300 heard in my life before I was absolutely golf set. 50 00:02:37,300 --> 00:02:40,000 But today macaroni and cheese China. 51 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:51,600 Macaroni and cheese with Spa sweet corn warmed up in a 52 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:56,100 microwave. Will it be good for you? 53 00:02:56,100 --> 00:03:00,500 It might be a bit tasteless but hey, men make you strong. 54 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,000 You can't eat Sunday lunch on The Veranda. 55 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,800 Every time you got to come into the house and eat cottage pie. 56 00:03:07,500 --> 00:03:10,300 Amen. And so we are looking at x we 57 00:03:10,300 --> 00:03:13,300 looking at God can do anything. And literally we've seen that in 58 00:03:13,300 --> 00:03:17,800 the last while we've seen amazing things taking place and 59 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,000 I want to tell you about the danger of 3ci and this seeming 60 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,300 success that we are enjoying right now. 61 00:03:24,700 --> 00:03:26,600 This is not the measure of success. 62 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:31,900 This is a warning sign of great Danger This is a beautiful 63 00:03:31,900 --> 00:03:35,300 building filled with beautiful people who are highly qualified. 64 00:03:35,500 --> 00:03:38,700 You are extremely generous and our profile is Raising every 65 00:03:38,700 --> 00:03:40,700 day. But that is not the measurement 66 00:03:40,700 --> 00:03:43,800 of a church. The measurement of a church is 67 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,500 only one, there's only one measurement and a church. 68 00:03:46,900 --> 00:03:52,400 Are they becoming like Jesus? Other becoming like Jesus is the 69 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:57,300 pastor becoming like Jesus, or is he being used all over the 70 00:03:57,300 --> 00:03:59,200 country to preach that fancy events? 71 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,600 Or is he becoming like Jesus? Is it becoming more patient? 72 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,900 Is it becoming more kind? Is it becoming more generous? 73 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:11,700 Does he stop? And talk with me who's important 74 00:04:12,100 --> 00:04:16,399 in the growing Church, who gets the positions and the growing 75 00:04:16,399 --> 00:04:20,700 says, who gets the profile in the growing church and I'm 76 00:04:20,700 --> 00:04:24,100 deeply concerned that as our profile in ink and influence 77 00:04:24,100 --> 00:04:28,300 increases that we might be losing the plot immediately 78 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,800 according to the book of Acts. Amen. 79 00:04:32,500 --> 00:04:34,300 And so our measurement is never numbers. 80 00:04:34,300 --> 00:04:37,100 That's why we don't Brandeis, I went on to the three. 81 00:04:37,100 --> 00:04:40,500 See our website in the very First week that I was in 3ci 82 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,400 which was 10 years ago. I've never ever been back on our 83 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,600 website ever again. People say what's the website 84 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,000 like as I've got no idea who runs it. 85 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,000 I don't know what's in there. I've got no idea why I wrote it 86 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,600 because I don't actually care. But Rory, it's good to have a 87 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,100 brand, and it's good tea. Amen. 88 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,200 I'd much rather get you saved and send you into the 89 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,100 marketplace and when people look at the way that you treat your 90 00:05:04,100 --> 00:05:06,500 wife and speak to you on the telephone and conduct your 91 00:05:06,500 --> 00:05:08,900 Affairs, that you would actually think, how do we do you go to 92 00:05:08,900 --> 00:05:12,400 church and come here, celebratory, people listen to us 93 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,900 on not, I can't minister to a guy who lives in touch, 94 00:05:15,900 --> 00:05:20,600 Jackie's, stunned or akane. First on as Rob says, I can only 95 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,700 minister to you. I can set it, clipped, anyone 96 00:05:23,900 --> 00:05:26,200 and unrest is there, and picked her sitting there. 97 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,000 And I can only Minister there and I can give a thumbs up to 98 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,600 the guy on the stage. That's actually how the church 99 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,600 works. It's not about increased 100 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,800 influence all the time. Jesus only influence 12 people. 101 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,600 Amen. And so the measurement of what 102 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:48,800 this successful needs to be taken into account, Yeah, so we 103 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,100 have this thing, throw money at the problem will go away. 104 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,100 Peter said, Silver and Gold Have I None. 105 00:05:53,400 --> 00:06:01,200 So the solution is not money. So, let's read Acts chapter 3. 106 00:06:02,900 --> 00:06:06,000 One day Peter and John were going up to the temple. 107 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,100 It's quite good when you fisherman actually give up 108 00:06:08,100 --> 00:06:10,300 fishing on Sundays and come to church. 109 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,000 Thank you for being here. As I said, I've got no choice. 110 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:20,000 I had to be here, I'll get paid. One day, Peter and John and 111 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,700 Rory. We're going up to the church at 112 00:06:21,700 --> 00:06:24,800 the time of pray at 3:00 in the afternoon. 113 00:06:25,700 --> 00:06:29,700 Now, I'm man crippled from birth was being carried to the Temple, 114 00:06:29,700 --> 00:06:32,000 Gate called beautiful. You know what? 115 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,500 I even crippled outs are quite clever if I was in trouble, I 116 00:06:36,500 --> 00:06:40,000 would just go to any town in how thing and I'll go and stand 117 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,000 outside. The end here church is that 118 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,100 means not clever like that because every eventually 119 00:06:45,100 --> 00:06:46,500 somebody's going to give me money. 120 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:52,000 I mean, surely. You think they do fail, a couple 121 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,400 of the business management. You never find them at the back 122 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:56,800 end. You don't find them in writing 123 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,200 at the back end robots. You find them at Midland main 124 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:06,500 but Now man crippled from birth was being carried to the Temple, 125 00:07:06,500 --> 00:07:11,300 Gate called Beautiful. We use put every day, say every 126 00:07:11,300 --> 00:07:16,300 day to beg from those, going into the temple courts, a every 127 00:07:16,300 --> 00:07:19,400 day. How many times did Jesus walked 128 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:25,400 past him? Every day, every day, Jesus 129 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,100 walked past him. How do we look after people? 130 00:07:28,100 --> 00:07:31,500 Who do we look after only the people, God tells us to look 131 00:07:31,500 --> 00:07:35,500 after our fix people's teeth.
