1
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:06,700
It's great to see you all. 
I think this is what dreams are 

2
00:00:06,700 --> 00:00:11,400
made of a when we get so many 
diverse groups of people 

3
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:15,700
together in one room, it's an 
incredible thing. 

4
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,700
I said to the guys in Durban the
church that we came from, we are

5
00:00:20,700 --> 00:00:23,400
embarking on a building project.
I said the best thing to do is 

6
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:27,100
to actually come and see the 
people in Pretoria And I want to

7
00:00:27,108 --> 00:00:29,900
study of Recons, guys are 
honestly believe I've learned 

8
00:00:29,900 --> 00:00:32,800
more from you. 
Then I've ever taught you. 

9
00:00:34,300 --> 00:00:37,000
And it's an incredible privilege
to be part of the leadership of 

10
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,100
this church. 
You are an incredible group of 

11
00:00:39,100 --> 00:00:42,000
people. 
And that's an incredible joy to 

12
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,400
serve you and pray as best we 
know, how. 

13
00:00:45,100 --> 00:00:48,700
And I think of feast is an 
incredible opportunity to 

14
00:00:48,700 --> 00:00:50,800
display something of what God is
doing. 

15
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:58,300
And when you come to a church 
and you see a 320 kg ox, At the 

16
00:00:58,300 --> 00:01:05,500
front door. 
Hahaha, no condoms. 

17
00:01:05,500 --> 00:01:11,600
Bry - And if you any of you 
English, like so scared, you 

18
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:16,200
should be. 
When you see enough recording 

19
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,800
with red meat and, you know, 
this trouble voice. 

20
00:01:19,700 --> 00:01:23,100
It's big trouble. 
What an amazing, amazing 

21
00:01:23,100 --> 00:01:26,000
privilege. 
So we doing a series on, 

22
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,000
feasting, it's great to have you
here. 

23
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,200
We decided to Feast instead of 
fast, because Jesus work is 

24
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,200
finished and everybody's 
panicking in South Africa, and 

25
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,500
so we've kind of turned the 
clocks on things and We've 

26
00:01:37,500 --> 00:01:41,200
looked at Jesus as way of 
bringing people closer to him, 

27
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,600
so wherever you are today. 
If your friends have invited, 

28
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,400
you haven't been in church for a
long time. 

29
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,200
It's still really cool to have 
you. 

30
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,100
And everybody said to me, what 
about all those people who ran 

31
00:01:50,100 --> 00:01:52,500
to the front and they didn't 
actually get their trips to 

32
00:01:52,500 --> 00:01:54,600
Mozambique paid for. 
That was pretty harsh. 

33
00:01:55,100 --> 00:01:57,800
You know what, every single one 
of them got their trips paid for

34
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,700
because the church here is 
actually amazing. 

35
00:02:00,700 --> 00:02:03,200
It was a girl. 
One of the girls who ran first, 

36
00:02:03,300 --> 00:02:06,900
she bought a guy coffee in the 
land yet last week. 

37
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,200
Actually happened to be a pretty
wealthy, very successful, man. 

38
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,300
She brought him coffee and he 
couldn't understand why. 

39
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,000
And she's a single mom, she ran 
to the front and I kind of ran 

40
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,300
away from her and he paid for 
her ticket to mozambican in 

41
00:02:20,300 --> 00:02:22,100
somebody paid for her daughter's
ticket. 

42
00:02:22,300 --> 00:02:25,200
So, when the church starts to 
operate together, we actually 

43
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,800
start to meet everybody's needs.
Every prayer can be made by 

44
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,000
every resource inside of this 
building today. 

45
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,800
Every pray, we pray can be met 
by every resource inside of this

46
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,400
building today. 
If we just open our eyes and And

47
00:02:37,408 --> 00:02:38,600
be kind. 
Amen. 

48
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,600
So friends, we're going to look 
at one of the very great Tick's 

49
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,300
of the Bible. 
It's Luke chapter 15, it's an 

50
00:02:44,300 --> 00:02:47,600
amazing text. 
It's about being lost and about 

51
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:52,000
being found, and it's about a 
feast and it's particularly 

52
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,400
about a feast. 
When a son who's lost comes 

53
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,200
home. 
Now, I want to say to All You 

54
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,200
Blue bull supporters, we've got 
one of you on the bride right 

55
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:07,400
now, we just cut off your horns.
That's actually Bucky's butcher 

56
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,700
there on the Bry. 
But I want to tell you in the 

57
00:03:11,700 --> 00:03:15,400
same way that you celebrate, 
when a man scores have tried 

58
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,300
Loftus, versfeld, you should be 
celebrating when a person comes 

59
00:03:18,300 --> 00:03:21,100
to Christ in exactly the same 
way. 

60
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,000
And if we can do it for a 
pigskin bowl with 50 sweaty men,

61
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,800
then we can do it for Jesus with
eternal values. 

62
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,600
Amen. 
And so we have to actually allow

63
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:35,300
God to deal with us very deeply.
I met a lady at the front door. 

64
00:03:35,300 --> 00:03:37,900
Today she said, I said, how long
you been the church. 

65
00:03:37,900 --> 00:03:40,500
He said, since the tents I said,
Oh, so you've been offended a 

66
00:03:40,500 --> 00:03:42,500
few times. 
She said, I often go home and 

67
00:03:42,500 --> 00:03:48,700
pray for you. 
I said, thank you so much. 

68
00:03:48,700 --> 00:03:54,000
I think you should pray for 
yourself, so we try to find each

69
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,500
other. 
We trying to find Freedom. 

70
00:03:55,500 --> 00:03:58,600
We're trying to find the 
fullness of what God has for us.

71
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,200
Amen. 
So let's have a look. 

72
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,500
Luke 15 three stories and then 
we're going to eat cleanse. 

73
00:04:03,500 --> 00:04:06,400
Going to teach us how now the 
tax collectors and sinners. 

74
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,800
Say sinners. 
You welcome here, you are 

75
00:04:10,808 --> 00:04:13,600
welcome here. 
Maybe you did something really 

76
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,600
stupid lost not welcome to 
church when you're at your 

77
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,200
worst. 
God said his best when you 

78
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,400
really dark, really dingy, 
really debauched really sick. 

79
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,800
Really secretive and really 
caught up. 

80
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,200
You're welcome here. 
Will cook an AUX just for you. 

81
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,700
Every Sunday will cook an ox 
just for you you know friends on

82
00:04:36,700 --> 00:04:41,000
the 11th of December last year. 
I stood up in this pulpit and I 

83
00:04:41,008 --> 00:04:43,800
said, I felt God say, we must 
shut our church service down, 

84
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,200
and go to India, morality and 
speak about the grace of God 

85
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,600
over in fear more later. 
And the unification of the 

86
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:54,300
church in Pretoria that we can 
see this feasts, but permeate 

87
00:04:54,300 --> 00:04:58,000
throughout Society, I said I'm 
going to ask his life and Doctor

88
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,800
day to shut these Services down.
We're going to go there and 

89
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,500
we're going to bless in here. 
More a letter. 

90
00:05:03,300 --> 00:05:05,500
And I left it, I haven't got 
done anything with this week. 

91
00:05:05,500 --> 00:05:07,800
I've got a message from the 
Germany, Germany. 

92
00:05:08,100 --> 00:05:10,800
Bought an awesome infant 
mortality said, Rory, I'm asking

93
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,900
you a big favor, but would you 
be prepared to shut down three? 

94
00:05:13,900 --> 00:05:18,000
See on the 2nd of April. 
With Doc Sedalia and she's life 

95
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,700
and come to India more later and
have a feast together. 

96
00:05:27,300 --> 00:05:31,300
You have a feast together and to
display to Pretoria what it 

97
00:05:31,300 --> 00:05:35,800
means to actually serve God, one
loaf one cup. 

98
00:05:36,300 --> 00:05:38,600
And so the 2nd of April, you 
know, the beginning of the month

99
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,900
is when you make your bucks in 
the church, I'm just telling 

100
00:05:42,900 --> 00:05:44,700
you. 
Somebody has to pay for the 

101
00:05:44,700 --> 00:05:47,700
aircon. 
It doesn't just fall out the 

102
00:05:47,700 --> 00:05:51,500
sky, so the second of the month 
and and the, you know, their 

103
00:05:51,500 --> 00:05:53,900
first, the Lost meant in the 
doors are locked the important 

104
00:05:53,900 --> 00:05:56,600
weekends and you'll see. 
Sometimes you just forget to 

105
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,400
take up offerings that offering 
on the 2nd of April instead of 

106
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,500
coming to three cells, going to 
go to India more later. 

107
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,100
We're gonna go there, we're 
going to set our service done. 

108
00:06:04,100 --> 00:06:06,900
We're going to shutter Financial
income down, and we're gonna go 

109
00:06:06,900 --> 00:06:09,500
and bless them with the feast 
with an ox together. 

110
00:06:09,900 --> 00:06:17,700
And India, more later I meant 
Yeah, and if you've come from 

111
00:06:17,700 --> 00:06:20,300
the and you've got damaged 
there, then you go get back then

112
00:06:20,300 --> 00:06:24,000
we're going to bless them. 
Now, the tax collectors and 

113
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,200
sinners were all gathering 
around to hear him. 

114
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,200
But the Pharisees and the 
teachers of the law muttered, 

115
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,800
This man welcomes Sinners and 
eats with them. 

116
00:06:36,500 --> 00:06:39,900
Welcome to 3cr today. 
We are a church that welcomes 

117
00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:46,400
Sinners and eats with them. 
Then Jesus told them this, 

118
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,400
Parable suppose, one of you has 
a hundred sheep and loses one of

119
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,100
them, does he not leave the 
ninety-nine in the open country 

120
00:06:54,100 --> 00:06:56,600
and go after the lost sheep 
until he finds it? 

121
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,700
And when he finds it, he 
joyfully puts it on his 

122
00:07:00,700 --> 00:07:05,200
shoulders and goes home. 
Then he calls his friends and 

123
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:10,000
neighbors together and says 
Rejoice with me, I have found my

124
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,700
lost sheep. 
I tell you that, in the same 

125
00:07:13,700 --> 00:07:17,000
way, they will be more rejoicing
in heaven. 

126
00:07:17,300 --> 00:07:21,600
Over one sinner, who repents 
than over ninety-nine righteous 

127
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,400
people who do not need to 
repent. 

128
00:07:26,500 --> 00:07:30,500
So what happened in the Jewish 
culture is that the picture was 

129
00:07:30,500 --> 00:07:34,900
of heaven and of Earth? 
And inside of Heaven, everything

130
00:07:34,900 --> 00:07:39,300
was in order and on the earth, 
everything was disorganized 

131
00:07:40,100 --> 00:07:44,000
everything here. 
Had government everything here 

132
00:07:44,100 --> 00:07:47,300
was in turkey. 
And so what God did his, he gave

133
00:07:47,300 --> 00:07:50,700
the Ten Commandments here so 
that people could start behaving

134
00:07:50,700 --> 00:07:53,700
themselves and they obeyed The 
Ten Commandments, but they fell 

135
00:07:53,700 --> 00:07:56,900
short of the Ten Commandments. 
And when they obeyed, God, he 

136
00:07:56,900 --> 00:07:58,700
blessed them. 
And when they disobey God, he 

137
00:07:58,700 --> 00:08:01,400
cursed them. 
And then I realized that they 

138
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,900
couldn't actually keep the loss.
Instead of God actually bringing

139
00:08:04,900 --> 00:08:07,400
Heaven to Earth, he sent his 
son, Jesus to come, and live 

140
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:11,200
amongst us, and to show us what 
heaven and earth looked like, 

141
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,000
Amen. 
And then Jesus went back up to 

142
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,600
heaven and he left us the Holy 
Spirit to live According To 

143
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,900
Jesus, but what people did is 
they went back to the law. 

144
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,600
So they said, let's keep the law
and hope God blesses us. 

145
00:08:27,500 --> 00:08:30,000
And so they believe that the 
more they could replicate 

146
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,700
behavior on Earth, that looked 
like behavior and Heaven, they 

147
00:08:33,700 --> 00:08:38,900
would get blessed. but now, this
is what the Bible says, when one

148
00:08:38,900 --> 00:08:48,000
person gives their life to the 
Lord, heaven throws a party When

149
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,000
one person gives their life to 
the Lord in the church, my 

150
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:55,000
conservativism stops me from 
throwing a party. 

151
00:08:59,500 --> 00:09:02,600
So, when that guy for read the 
prayer, no, more. 

152
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:03,800
Nice day. 
More nice day. 

153
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,300
Not even Coppola fear. 
All of you who I am naughty 

154
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:14,100
wing. 
Hey culinary field, if you lock 

155
00:09:14,100 --> 00:09:17,200
the command and I'd reckoned, 
he'd hook our shared reality 

156
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:22,200
hook and he other funders and a 
lobster special havoc on mouth. 

157
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:31,600
But in the church, we just stand
Now in the church friends every 

158
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:36,400
time a sinner gets saved, we 
should kill a 320 kg Ox. 

159
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,700
We should invite all our friends
and say. 

160
00:09:38,700 --> 00:09:42,000
Listen you guys, it's a very 
expensive meal, but we're going 

161
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,100
to stop everything and we're 
going to celebrate. 

162
00:09:44,100 --> 00:09:46,800
We're going to drink. 
We're going to eat because one 

163
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,000
person has got site and they 
rejoicing up there. 

164
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,200
We're going to Rejoice down 
here. 

165
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:59,900
That's ridiculous like properly.
Back. 

166
00:10:06,500 --> 00:10:12,700
And then, and we are not going 
to allow the confines of 

167
00:10:12,700 --> 00:10:15,700
religion, to determine how we 
behave on Earth. 

168
00:10:15,700 --> 00:10:18,700
Because the Bible says, Heaven, 
has come down to earth in the 

169
00:10:18,700 --> 00:10:21,700
form of Jesus. 
And actually, now, we once a as 

170
00:10:21,700 --> 00:10:26,200
Heaven rejoices sawdust, Earth 
rejoice, And we can shut down 

171
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,000
the 2nd of April and we can go 
to in him or a litter. 

172
00:10:29,100 --> 00:10:33,000
And we Rejoice together as one 
meal as God, going to restore 

173
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,700
things, and God is going to 
bless their church and God is 

174
00:10:35,700 --> 00:10:37,500
going to use us and we raise our
hands. 

175
00:10:37,500 --> 00:10:39,600
I think they're going to do many
condoms self. 

176
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,200
I can open. 
It has a name, Maya, kidney 

177
00:10:52,900 --> 00:10:57,000
Excellency, made a yellow Yoshi.
Under a mini on scorm 

178
00:10:58,300 --> 00:11:04,900
homophones. 
Mary, Ellen, Mark, Nico rosberg 

179
00:11:04,900 --> 00:11:13,200
and Ronnie worth of snow peas. 
Blackie's. 

180
00:11:15,100 --> 00:11:20,400
Suppose suppose the woman has 
ten silver coins and loses one, 

181
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:25,400
does he not light a lamp? 
Sweep, the house and search 

182
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:30,300
carefully until she finds it and
when she finds that she calls, 

183
00:11:30,300 --> 00:11:33,800
her friends and neighbors 
together and says, Rejoice with 

184
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,200
me, I have found my lost coin in
the same way. 

185
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,900
I tell you there is rejoicing in
the presence of the angels of 

186
00:11:40,900 --> 00:11:43,600
God over one sinner. 
Who repents? 

187
00:11:46,700 --> 00:11:53,600
if I took that silver coin, And 
I hid it in this building. 

188
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,200
And I turned off the lights. 
With two and a half thousand, 

189
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:06,100
people searching all night, we 
would not be able to find that 

190
00:12:06,100 --> 00:12:10,500
coin. 
There is something about a 

191
00:12:10,500 --> 00:12:13,900
sinner that is completely 
helpless. 

192
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:19,000
I am here, not because of 
anything that I did, that 

193
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,900
deserves me to be here and I 
know people have got 

194
00:12:21,900 --> 00:12:25,100
unbelievably agitated as I've 
gone off The Advocates and 

195
00:12:25,100 --> 00:12:27,900
lawyers and professors and 
educated people. 

196
00:12:27,900 --> 00:12:33,100
But there is nothing in myself 
works or success that allows me 

197
00:12:33,100 --> 00:12:36,700
to celebrate with god with the 
Sinners because X and he like 

198
00:12:36,700 --> 00:12:39,200
that coin. 
I'm completely and Totally 

199
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,700
hopeless. 
I am helpless. 

200
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:46,000
I cannot be found unless the 
Holy Spirit turns on the light 

201
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,800
and actually starts to see a 
little bit of a glimmer, and 

202
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,900
when he sees a glimmer, he comes
towards me. 

203
00:12:52,900 --> 00:12:55,600
That's why our friends we can 
stand around and aux. 

204
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:59,200
Every single one of us and never
have to be ashamed of what we've

205
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:05,400
done or haven't done. 
Because heaven is celebrating 

206
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,400
whether you're a lost sheep, a 
sheep gets lost by one during a 

207
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,600
coin, gets lost by being 
misplaced. 

208
00:13:12,300 --> 00:13:15,900
And the Sun, the third story 
gets lost by willfully, 

209
00:13:15,900 --> 00:13:19,500
disobeying God and whether you 
are here because you've wondered

210
00:13:19,500 --> 00:13:21,500
or being misplaced or you've 
disobeyed. 

211
00:13:21,500 --> 00:13:26,700
God, I want to say welcome to 
the feast Amen. 

212
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,900
And when we understand that 
friends, they will never be an 

213
00:13:31,900 --> 00:13:33,900
inner circle. 
Inside of the church. 

214
00:13:34,500 --> 00:13:38,800
They will never be politics. 
We will never ever look down at 

215
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:44,100
somebody. 
I flew back yesterday on the 

216
00:13:44,108 --> 00:13:45,600
airplane. 
I sat next to a man. 

217
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,000
He was the first black man to go
to one of the private schools in

218
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,600
South Africa, 40 years ago. 
Next year, he celebrates his 

219
00:13:52,900 --> 00:13:57,000
reunions, his 40th reunions, he 
still carries deep inside of his

220
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,200
heart. 
The pain of the names that he 

221
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:03,200
was called deep inside of me, 40
years later. 

222
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,600
And I felt like saying to mr. 
Schauble Allah come to the feast

223
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,100
tomorrow. 
Come to the feast where we can 

224
00:14:11,100 --> 00:14:15,300
find a Unity when you can find 
the togetherness not on my 

225
00:14:15,300 --> 00:14:18,600
performance or my 
attractiveness, or my success or

226
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,400
my abilities, but on Christ and 
Christ Alone. 

227
00:14:22,700 --> 00:14:27,700
I meant. 
Jesus continued, there was a man

228
00:14:27,700 --> 00:14:31,500
who had two sons. 
The younger one said to his 

229
00:14:31,500 --> 00:14:35,400
father, father, give me say, 
give me now. 

230
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,200
There will be many. 
Yeah, they just say to God, give

231
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:38,900
me. 
Give me money. 

232
00:14:38,900 --> 00:14:40,300
Give me job. 
Give me success. 

233
00:14:40,300 --> 00:14:41,700
Give me a promotion. 
Just give me. 

234
00:14:41,700 --> 00:14:43,100
Give me, give me. 
Give me. 

235
00:14:43,100 --> 00:14:45,800
Give me. 
Give me a man after midnight. 

236
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,300
Just looking for something from 
God. 

237
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,200
Give me Marcy of these State. 
This is like the greatest 

238
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,700
disgrace, so, he divided his 
property between them. 

239
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,300
Not long after that, the younger
son gathered together. 

240
00:15:01,300 --> 00:15:04,900
All he had set off for a distant
country and there he squandered 

241
00:15:04,900 --> 00:15:09,800
his wealth in Wild living. 
Austrian spend everything. 

242
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,700
It was a severe famine and that 
whole country and he began to be

243
00:15:12,700 --> 00:15:15,700
in need. 
So he went and hired himself out

244
00:15:15,700 --> 00:15:18,700
to a citizen of that country who
sent him to the field to feed 

245
00:15:18,700 --> 00:15:21,400
pigs. 
He longed to fill his stomach 

246
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,900
with the pods that the pigs were
eating, but no one gave him 

247
00:15:24,900 --> 00:15:27,500
anything. 
When he came to his senses, he 

248
00:15:27,500 --> 00:15:30,700
said, how many of my father's 
hired, men have food to spare. 

249
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:35,300
And here I am starving to death.
I will set out and go back to my

250
00:15:35,300 --> 00:15:38,100
father and say to him. 
Father, I have sinned against 

251
00:15:38,100 --> 00:15:41,700
heaven and against you, I am no 
longer worthy to be called your 

252
00:15:41,700 --> 00:15:45,000
son, make me like one of your 
hired men. 

253
00:15:45,500 --> 00:15:49,000
One of the great shifts of 
Christianity is to go from, give

254
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:53,700
me to make me. 
It is one of the great shifts of

255
00:15:53,700 --> 00:15:59,300
Christianity, give me make me. 
Give me make me. 

256
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,000
So when I went back to my chest 
that I led for 15 years, not 

257
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,800
much, it's God says in Durban 
are set to the elders and the 

258
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,800
room that many of us prayed in 
some of you would have grown up 

259
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,200
and I met Redman's music. 
Matt Redman was probably one of 

260
00:16:14,208 --> 00:16:17,000
the most famous musicians in the
world at one stage. 

261
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:20,500
And he came to play at our 
church. 

262
00:16:20,500 --> 00:16:22,900
We had a full whole 3,000 
people. 

263
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,600
I went into the room that I met 
the elders with this week. 

264
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,300
I went into that room with Matt 
Redman and he got on his chin on

265
00:16:28,300 --> 00:16:30,400
his knees, and he started to 
sing. 

266
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,200
I'm coming back to the Heart of 
Worship because it's all about 

267
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,300
you, lord. 
It's all about you. 

268
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,700
And that time, God called him in
that room in Durban. 

269
00:16:38,700 --> 00:16:42,300
God called him to worship before
God not before men. 

270
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,600
And when I left that room, the 
guy said to me, Rory, you're 

271
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,700
different to the man who left 
here 10 years ago. 

272
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,600
And I can only say thank you to 
you. 

273
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,800
Because I came here wanting 
something and actually God's 

274
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,600
changed me. 
I hope in all my nonsense and 

275
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,600
all my offensiveness. 
You find a man who is 

276
00:17:02,900 --> 00:17:06,500
passionately committed to 
preaching Christ to you without 

277
00:17:06,500 --> 00:17:10,400
any attachment. 
It's Christ, plus nothing 

278
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,900
Christ, - nothing. 
And when we understand that will

279
00:17:13,900 --> 00:17:17,200
start to build the community 
that can shut its Church down 

280
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,200
and go to income or letter and 
give them their money because we

281
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:24,000
are perfectly reliant on Jesus. 
We don't have to hop up the 

282
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,599
meetings, we don't have to hop 
up the audience, we don't have 

283
00:17:26,599 --> 00:17:29,700
to stand up against a string 
Church sings church. 

284
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,400
Either you sing or you don't 
Either you participate or you 

285
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,800
don't, are you participate of 
the oxy you get in your car and 

286
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,600
you drive away, I can't force 
you. 

287
00:17:41,700 --> 00:17:43,600
But Lord God make me more like 
Jesus. 

288
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:50,800
Make me soft. 
Make me this guy. 

289
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:58,200
I told a story this guy said to 
me, he said, Rory, when you came

290
00:17:58,200 --> 00:17:59,800
here, you started just feeding 
people. 

291
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,600
And actually before you came 
here, the church of his to bring

292
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,600
our own food to the leaders 
meetings, we all used to 

293
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,000
participate and there was a sort
of a togetherness and then you 

294
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,300
came here and you started 
blessing. 

295
00:18:10,300 --> 00:18:11,700
People said yeah. 
But I thought I was doing them a

296
00:18:11,700 --> 00:18:13,600
favor. 
He said, but you taking away one

297
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,300
of the great building blocks of 
this church is that all of us 

298
00:18:16,300 --> 00:18:18,900
play a part. 
I got a you weren't here. 

299
00:18:18,900 --> 00:18:21,600
I said, I'm really sorry. 
We turn it around now, we have 

300
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,800
our leaders, meaning, everybody 
brings something you see 

301
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,300
friends, we don't have it all 
together. 

302
00:18:25,900 --> 00:18:27,300
You say, why not bring anything 
today? 

303
00:18:27,300 --> 00:18:29,500
Because the different meal 
today, the meal today is you 

304
00:18:29,500 --> 00:18:32,000
come with nothing. 
And you Feast the next time we 

305
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,400
come your come with a bringing 
Shay but actually this church 

306
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,700
was built on. 
Bringing see this church was 

307
00:18:37,700 --> 00:18:40,100
everybody's got a gift, 
everybody's got a part to play. 

308
00:18:40,100 --> 00:18:44,400
Everybody has got something to 
offer. so, you taught me 

309
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:48,800
something work does actually her
It wasn't him. 

310
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:54,100
It was her. 
Amen. 

311
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,900
But while you're still a long 
way off, his father saw him is 

312
00:19:03,900 --> 00:19:07,100
filled with compassion for him, 
he ran to his son. 

313
00:19:07,100 --> 00:19:10,600
How many of you have pulled a 
hamstring in the father's race? 

314
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:17,800
But your hand up. 
Yeah he see that thing a he just

315
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:22,400
arrived than you think Hmm? 
You touch your toes twice and as

316
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:33,600
you hit the 40 lat. 
I was horrified on a touch rugby

317
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,200
field. 
The Durbin University at 34 

318
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,600
years old, when I took the Gap 
and they say, the older, I get 

319
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:45,200
the Foster, I was As I took that
Gap in my hamster. 

320
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,500
You swing qua. 
I thought there's no ways. 

321
00:19:50,700 --> 00:19:52,500
I'll sitting down at the rugby 
history. 

322
00:19:52,500 --> 00:19:55,700
My son played for the talented, 
20 side of sitting down there. 

323
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,300
And this guy comes, he must have
been 48 years old, he said, you 

324
00:19:59,300 --> 00:20:01,800
cannot worm through him. 
Yo said. 

325
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:11,100
This yoke women. 
And then Clinton our together 

326
00:20:11,100 --> 00:20:15,600
and he says, let's just like 
Father and Son, you know, laughs

327
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:24,300
that's a Pretoria is done to me.
This is my favorite scripture in

328
00:20:24,300 --> 00:20:29,100
the whole Bible but while he was
still a long way off, His 

329
00:20:29,100 --> 00:20:33,400
father, saw him. 
Was filled with compassion for 

330
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,900
him. 
He ran to his son. 

331
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:43,300
He threw his arms around him and
he kissed him. 

332
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:50,800
Have you been here before sir? 
Yeah. 

333
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:53,700
You you've never been here 
before. 

334
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,700
What's your name? 
Ruin. 

335
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,200
I don't know, but whenever I 
look around this or determines, 

336
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:06,800
keep looking at you. 
I see you. 

337
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:13,600
Well, hot is with deep 
compassion for you if I could 

338
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,700
get across this bearded monster.
Yeah. 

339
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:25,700
Oh, just went towards you and 
hug you. 

340
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,600
And say, Welcome to our church. 
I don't think you're a sinner, I

341
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,500
don't think you, but I just want
to say Welcome to our church 

342
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,300
because you've invited friends. 
Here, you've heard the story 

343
00:21:45,300 --> 00:21:47,600
many times but I have a friend 
called Nicholas, Graham. 

344
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:52,200
You got saved out of drugs. 
You got saved at a funeral and 

345
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,600
you serve God for a long time 
and then he back slid and they 

346
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:58,000
came back to our church and he 
sat me down one day and he said 

347
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,600
it's easier to come back to God 
than it is to come back to the 

348
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:05,200
church on this scripture. 
And that day, I made a decision 

349
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,700
that we're going to build a 
church where it's easy for 

350
00:22:07,700 --> 00:22:11,700
Sinners to come back. 
And I want to say this, if you 

351
00:22:11,700 --> 00:22:14,900
get it in your mind and you only
visit us once when you are at 

352
00:22:14,900 --> 00:22:20,300
your worst, God is at his best. 
When you're at your worst, God 

353
00:22:20,300 --> 00:22:24,400
is at his best. 
I have a running compassionate 

354
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:29,500
kind, wonderful God. 
And this guy got lost because he

355
00:22:29,500 --> 00:22:33,900
disobeyed God, he disobeyed his 
orders, he took his inheritance,

356
00:22:33,900 --> 00:22:38,700
he squandered it, and he came 
back and God ran at him, and I 

357
00:22:38,708 --> 00:22:41,300
don't care what you've done, how
you squandered, how you've 

358
00:22:41,300 --> 00:22:44,800
disobeyed? 
How you've lived a wild and free

359
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,600
life. 
It says here on prostitutes and 

360
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:52,300
booze and Probably cocaine. 
You welcome back in this room. 

361
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,600
The son said to him, father I 
have sinned against heaven and 

362
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,600
against you, I am no longer 
worthy to be called your son, 

363
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:06,600
but the father said to his 
servants quick, bring the best 

364
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:10,500
robe and put it on him. 
Put a ring on his finger. 

365
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:15,400
That's the credit card of the 
family on. 

366
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:21,400
There was a A Crest. 
You'd go to the shop, you'd melt

367
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,100
some wax. 
You'd put your family crest in 

368
00:23:24,100 --> 00:23:26,400
there, and it's a charge it to 
my dad. 

369
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:31,400
He's lost his inheritance, he's 
lost his, his State, he's 

370
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,900
completely indebted, and the 
first thing God does is give him

371
00:23:34,900 --> 00:23:41,000
back the credit card. 
You say, but Dad you can't under

372
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,200
bit because I have, he says 
credit card. 

373
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,500
Dad is there, is there is there 
a limit on this no limit? 

374
00:23:50,900 --> 00:23:52,300
Can I go spend? 
Yes. 

375
00:23:52,700 --> 00:23:56,700
Who must have charged it to me? 
How much as much as you like? 

376
00:23:57,700 --> 00:24:05,700
He put him back in credit. 
You can put that picture up if 

377
00:24:05,700 --> 00:24:14,700
you don't mind. 
That's one of the most famous 

378
00:24:14,700 --> 00:24:18,100
paintings ever painted. 
It's called The Prodigal Son by 

379
00:24:18,100 --> 00:24:22,100
Rembrandt. 
And if you look at his hands, on

380
00:24:22,100 --> 00:24:25,500
the left hand side, is a strong 
hand, of a father. 

381
00:24:25,500 --> 00:24:27,800
On the right hand side, is a 
gentle hand of a mother. 

382
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,900
On the right is the Pharisees 
standing straight up, right? 

383
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:37,300
Looking down at one of the most 
compassionate events in human 

384
00:24:37,300 --> 00:24:42,500
history. 
With the Red Cloak. 

385
00:24:44,300 --> 00:24:47,500
You can see the pressure of the 
fingers is pulling his son 

386
00:24:47,500 --> 00:24:50,900
towards his chest. 
He's got no shoes. 

387
00:24:50,900 --> 00:24:52,600
His shoes are completely worn 
out. 

388
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:57,400
He's dirty. 
But his father's embracing him 

389
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:06,600
while religion stares at him. 
Let's keep reading. 

390
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,900
But the son of mine was dead and
is alive again. 

391
00:25:13,900 --> 00:25:17,900
He was lost and is found. 
So they began to celebrate, so 

392
00:25:17,900 --> 00:25:24,800
they celebrate They celebrate. 
They celebrate. 

393
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,400
France, are you and let me down?
Why don't you stand? 

394
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:35,600
On your chair. 
Now, on your Che. 

395
00:25:41,900 --> 00:25:44,900
This man is many things. 
I've said this to you before, 

396
00:25:44,900 --> 00:25:47,700
those who don't know, he has a 
brother in Ministry and many 

397
00:25:47,700 --> 00:25:50,900
times, I all his brothers and 
Ministry, his nephew was also 

398
00:25:50,900 --> 00:25:53,800
the captain of the Proteus 
cricket team, but one day when I

399
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,800
was sick, he sent me a script, 
so I call him mr. 

400
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,100
Habakkuk. 
He said, me, a scripture from 

401
00:25:58,100 --> 00:26:01,100
habakkuk when I asked God. 
If I'd ever preached again, when

402
00:26:01,100 --> 00:26:04,300
I was lying in my bed, sick, he 
sent me a scripture, the very 

403
00:26:04,300 --> 00:26:05,800
preached I ever preached on, he 
sent it. 

404
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,800
He said, I've been praying for 
you today, my friend. 

405
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,300
And this is a scripture, God 
gave me and my devotion I said, 

406
00:26:10,300 --> 00:26:13,300
Lord, will I ever preach again? 
When the Blue bull score a try 

407
00:26:13,300 --> 00:26:15,000
or your nephew? 
Fuck, it's a six. 

408
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:19,900
What do you do? 
Sorry, you cheer. 

409
00:26:21,300 --> 00:26:24,700
Chair or chair. 
Well, show us, bro. 

410
00:26:25,100 --> 00:26:32,000
Show us show us how you cheer. 
The properly route. 

411
00:26:33,700 --> 00:26:43,300
Properly properly. 
Spider Baby. 

412
00:26:46,500 --> 00:26:48,400
And when somebody gets saved, 
how do you do it? 

413
00:26:52,000 --> 00:27:02,500
Ha ha ha ha ha ha. 
So, they began to celebrate. 

414
00:27:03,500 --> 00:27:08,900
They began to celebrate. 
We have done a series on 

415
00:27:08,900 --> 00:27:13,900
feasting friends to take on the 
religious systems of how our 

416
00:27:13,900 --> 00:27:17,500
conservativism has crept into 
our hearts because we do not 

417
00:27:17,500 --> 00:27:21,400
understand the Eternal value of 
one person getting saved. 

418
00:27:23,900 --> 00:27:26,700
We take it for granted that 
every week God adds new people 

419
00:27:26,700 --> 00:27:29,700
to our church. 
Know when one person gets saved.

420
00:27:29,700 --> 00:27:34,300
When one sheep gets found, when 
one coin gets illuminated, they 

421
00:27:34,300 --> 00:27:37,700
stopped the whole thing, they 
kill a fat ox, and they have a 

422
00:27:37,700 --> 00:27:43,400
party. 
Meanwhile, the older son was in 

423
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,200
the field. 
When he came near the house, he 

424
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:50,000
heard the music and the dancing.
Say the dancing. 

425
00:27:50,700 --> 00:27:51,800
Okay. 
Let's stand guys. 

426
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,500
Is she a homeless? 
She adores. 

427
00:28:03,700 --> 00:28:06,100
That's what they say is the only
real estate doors? 

428
00:28:06,300 --> 00:28:08,200
No, condos dance, no, not like 
that. 

429
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,600
Mom. 
Right there are not ripe yet. 

430
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,800
Now let's see. 
Let's see a little bit. 

431
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:16,100
Let's see, a little bit. 
It's still I'm watching you 

432
00:28:16,100 --> 00:28:18,000
Advocates. 
Where you Advocates? 

433
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:22,000
I'm watching you. 
Yeah, Goosey Goosey. 

434
00:28:23,500 --> 00:28:27,800
Goosey Dhabi PSG. 
Yeah. 

435
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:31,000
II kind of guy. 
This guy is getting a little bit

436
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,000
of moving. 
Get moving. 

437
00:28:34,900 --> 00:28:37,600
Hey, I'm going to call you by 
name your work. 

438
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:53,500
Yeah, 
thank you. 

439
00:28:53,500 --> 00:29:15,200
Let's go. 
Keep standing. 

440
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,300
Keep standing keep standing over
one sinner. 

441
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,700
Over 1,000. 
Please. 

442
00:29:22,700 --> 00:29:25,700
Can you send the video to dr. 
Germany. 

443
00:29:25,700 --> 00:29:31,600
Botanist Tell him on scorm. 
Did you order a pro? 

444
00:29:34,700 --> 00:29:37,400
And we might be weird, but in 
front of the same celebration 

445
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:44,100
friends, we're going to build a 
church that celebrates when one 

446
00:29:44,100 --> 00:29:48,600
person comes to Christ, when one
person comes to class, 

447
00:30:07,700 --> 00:30:09,900
and if you've got your parents 
here, for the first time, 

448
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:18,200
welcome, Safe for you. 
Yeah, in here my keys on scum. 

449
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:26,500
Friends. 
We cannot allow our culture and 

450
00:30:26,500 --> 00:30:30,200
our preference to set the 
standard of our faith. 

451
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,500
It is all by grace, and if you 
understand that, then your 

452
00:30:34,500 --> 00:30:39,700
response will be spontaneous and
will override your preconceived 

453
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:45,200
ideologies and your upbringing, 
if you do not understand and I 

454
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:49,200
do not understand that. 
I'm a sinful deeply depraved 

455
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,100
man. 
Like a lost coin. 

456
00:30:51,100 --> 00:30:54,100
It It was impossible to find. 
You see this scripture friends 

457
00:30:54,100 --> 00:30:56,600
is about a father who ran at his
son. 

458
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,900
It's about a son Jesus, who went
and looked for the Lost coin, 

459
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,600
went to look for the lost sheep 
and it's about the Holy Spirit. 

460
00:31:02,700 --> 00:31:05,900
Who is home hovering or asthma 
Zulu? 

461
00:31:05,900 --> 00:31:10,600
Friend says hoovering. 
Hoovering over Pretoria. 

462
00:31:10,700 --> 00:31:13,700
So I have the father, and I have
the Sun, and I have the Holy 

463
00:31:13,700 --> 00:31:16,000
Spirit. 
Hovering, I don't know how it 

464
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,000
happened for you, but it 
happened for me like this. 

465
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,900
I had a brain tumor lying in SM,
weird wrote All By Myself 

466
00:31:21,900 --> 00:31:24,300
scared. 
I've been hit by of my school 

467
00:31:24,300 --> 00:31:27,100
and captain of rugby. 
I was arrogant, I thought I was 

468
00:31:27,100 --> 00:31:28,900
going to be the president of the
country. 

469
00:31:29,100 --> 00:31:33,000
I thought so much of myself, I 
had so much, self belief. 

470
00:31:33,100 --> 00:31:35,900
And for one moment, I got 
unbelievably scared and I said, 

471
00:31:35,900 --> 00:31:38,400
God, I don't know what my future
would hold. 

472
00:31:40,300 --> 00:31:42,200
And the Holy Spirit started to 
hover. 

473
00:31:43,300 --> 00:31:46,600
And he started to show me things
in my heart and the shepherd 

474
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,500
came and found me. 
And I walked into Saint Thomas 

475
00:31:49,500 --> 00:31:52,700
Church and Musgrave Road by 
myself shaking like a leaf. 

476
00:31:52,700 --> 00:31:54,600
And I went and bow down at the 
altar. 

477
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,400
And I said, God, please will you
fix my head? 

478
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,200
If I die, I want to come to 
Heaven. 

479
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,600
If I live, I'll serve you for 
the rest of my life. 

480
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:11,200
I don't know why you here. 
I don't know why you here this 

481
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,700
morning, I don't know who 
invited you but I ever lost you 

482
00:32:14,700 --> 00:32:18,300
are whether it is by your own 
wondering, whether you got 

483
00:32:18,300 --> 00:32:22,900
misplaced or whether you have 
defied God, I want to say to 

484
00:32:22,900 --> 00:32:36,000
you, welcome home in Jesus name,
when he came near the house, he 

485
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:42,400
heard the music and the dancing.
Many people leave this church 

486
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:43,900
because of the music and the 
dancing. 

487
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,400
Many leave this church because 
of the music and the dancing. 

488
00:32:50,700 --> 00:32:53,400
It's one of the reasons why you 
should join the church because 

489
00:32:53,400 --> 00:33:02,900
of the music and the Dons. 
Say called one of the servants 

490
00:33:02,900 --> 00:33:05,500
and asked him what was going on.
Your brother has. 

491
00:33:05,500 --> 00:33:08,600
Come he replied and your father 
has killed the fattened calf. 

492
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:13,500
We just decided to kill an ox 
320 kgs. 

493
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,600
How many will feed they say, 
700. 

494
00:33:18,500 --> 00:33:22,600
He killed the fattened ox cough,
because he has him back safe and

495
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,500
sound. 
The older briquette brother 

496
00:33:25,500 --> 00:33:27,400
became angry and refused to go 
in. 

497
00:33:28,900 --> 00:33:31,100
So his father went out and 
pleaded with him. 

498
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,700
But he answered his father, 
look, all these years, I've been

499
00:33:35,700 --> 00:33:42,400
slaving for you and never never 
ever, ever disobeyed your 

500
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,900
orders. 
Friends of serve God for 35 

501
00:33:45,900 --> 00:33:48,900
years. 
About 20 of those years. 

502
00:33:48,900 --> 00:33:52,400
I never disobeyed God. 
I saved him as best I could I 

503
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,100
gave him my money. 
I gave him my time I came to 

504
00:33:55,100 --> 00:33:56,800
prayer meetings. 
I went to double Sunday 

505
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,000
Services. 
I went to leaders meetings, are 

506
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,800
traveled around the world and 
preach the gospel and I got 

507
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:09,500
exhausted. 
Yet you never gave me even a 

508
00:34:09,500 --> 00:34:12,900
young goat, so I could celebrate
with my friends, but when this 

509
00:34:12,900 --> 00:34:15,900
son of yours who has squandered 
your property with prostitutes 

510
00:34:15,900 --> 00:34:18,100
comes home, you killed the 
fattened. 

511
00:34:18,100 --> 00:34:22,699
Calf for him, who we having the 
Feast for today we having the 

512
00:34:22,699 --> 00:34:27,600
Feast for sinners like myself, 
who squandered much of the early

513
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:32,199
years of my life. 
And for sinners, like you, who 

514
00:34:32,199 --> 00:34:33,699
have come to know the grace of 
God. 

515
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,600
My son, the father said, you're 
always with me and everything I 

516
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:42,900
have is yours, but we had to 
celebrate and be glad because 

517
00:34:42,900 --> 00:34:45,699
this brother of yours was dead 
and is alive again. 

518
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:52,500
He was lost and now he's found. 
I just want to bring this one 

519
00:34:52,500 --> 00:34:56,600
point to us. 
The very, very worst thing in 

520
00:34:56,600 --> 00:35:02,800
Israel was a pig The very worst 
thing was a pig. 

521
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:08,300
You didn't have anything to do 
with the pig. 

522
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,700
When Jesus cast out the demons, 
he cost him into the pigs. 2,000

523
00:35:12,700 --> 00:35:16,500
went over and drown themselves. 
The very worst thing was a pig. 

524
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:25,000
And the picture of this son was 
that he was so, so lost and so 

525
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:28,400
low. 
And so debauched that he ended 

526
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,900
up feeding the very worst thing.
In Israel. 

527
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:40,500
He ended up feeding the pig Like
some of you feed cocaine luck, 

528
00:35:40,500 --> 00:35:44,800
some of you feed pornography 
lack, some of you feed the most 

529
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:48,100
despicable things possible. 
And you say to me, Rory is there

530
00:35:48,100 --> 00:35:51,600
any hope for me? 
I don't care how low you go. 

531
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:57,800
Jesus went lower. 
I don't care how wide you go. 

532
00:35:57,900 --> 00:36:00,400
How far you wondered he went 
further. 

533
00:36:01,500 --> 00:36:03,300
I don't care how lost you are 
with. 

534
00:36:03,300 --> 00:36:07,000
Absolutely no ability to be 
found the Holy Spirit Will 

535
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,000
illuminate you. 
And so whether you deep or 

536
00:36:10,008 --> 00:36:14,800
whether you're white, or whether
you have absolutely, no hope the

537
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:20,500
Father, the Son, and the Holy 
Spirit, specialized In those who

538
00:36:20,500 --> 00:36:27,000
are lost. so that they may be 
found and we might say it. 

539
00:36:28,900 --> 00:36:32,300
Celebrate. 
Welcome to ECR to the Feast of 

540
00:36:32,300 --> 00:36:38,800
all feasts, 10 sheep 1, Ox 100 
kgs of steak 100, kgs of braavos

541
00:36:39,100 --> 00:36:41,900

Hopefully that will feed 5,000. 

542
00:36:41,900 --> 00:36:43,600

you.
