1 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,000 Jesus on the board. Tonight, we would like to study 2 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,700 with you, on, take heed, lest he fall. 3 00:00:13,100 --> 00:00:16,600 It was the Apostle Paul, who wrote, First Corinthian the 10th 4 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:23,600 chapter and verse 12, where he said, wherefore Brethren, let 5 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:28,500 him that thinketh. He standeth, take heed lest he 6 00:00:28,500 --> 00:00:32,700 fall. I do not believe for one moment 7 00:00:33,300 --> 00:00:39,200 that Paul the Apostle. Warned us about doing something. 8 00:00:39,500 --> 00:00:44,300 We could not possibly do. He did not warn us. 9 00:00:44,500 --> 00:00:49,000 Take heed lest you fall if you could not fall. 10 00:00:50,300 --> 00:00:53,900 One of the most popular Doctrine then they denominational world 11 00:00:53,900 --> 00:01:00,000 is you cannot fall what saved always saved yet. 12 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,600 These verses in the Holy scriptures, they say the same 13 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:09,600 thing. Take heed, lest he fall and our 14 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,100 lesson today, we're going to divide it into two categories. 15 00:01:13,700 --> 00:01:17,100 The first category, we're going to hit it very briefly. 16 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,800 And the second category, it will be for the balance of our time. 17 00:01:22,500 --> 00:01:28,000 It is simply the possibility of falling and I'm giving you half 18 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,200 dozen versus to support that. There are many. 19 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:37,000 Many more could be supplied The majority of our lesson would be 20 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,400 spent on the prevention from falling. 21 00:01:40,700 --> 00:01:44,800 This is a very, very important part of our lesson and I'll 22 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:49,600 explain to you why when we get to the point that we start our 23 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:54,100 second division of the lesson, but let us take a look right now 24 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,300 at the possibility of falling. The very first. 25 00:01:57,300 --> 00:02:01,600 First we have listed as First Corinthian the 10th chapter and 26 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:07,500 verse 12, take heed lest As she fall, it is up to every new 27 00:02:07,500 --> 00:02:13,300 testament, Christian to stand firm and proud in a positive way 28 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:19,500 and be faithful to the Lord. If you fall, then it's up to you 29 00:02:19,500 --> 00:02:23,600 to come back. Many will help you there. 30 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,100 Gladly, help you, they want to help you, but you've got to have 31 00:02:27,100 --> 00:02:32,300 the heart, the mind, the determination to come back and 32 00:02:32,300 --> 00:02:34,400 do the things, you know, you ought to do. 33 00:02:34,900 --> 00:02:40,100 What concerns me is sometimes, when people fall, they stay away 34 00:02:40,100 --> 00:02:44,400 so long, that they lose their grip on really what they have 35 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,400 believed in. They believe some of them know, 36 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,700 some of them, but they don't remember everything. 37 00:02:49,700 --> 00:02:53,300 And and gradually, they a step further and further away. 38 00:02:53,500 --> 00:02:58,500 And then when they have a spiritual awakening somewhat, 39 00:02:58,500 --> 00:03:02,200 and their mind, and they decide, you know, I need to take care of 40 00:03:02,208 --> 00:03:05,400 myself, spiritually. Sometimes they've gotten so 41 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,100 much, they'll go to the street on the corner there. 42 00:03:08,100 --> 00:03:12,900 Go to the biggest, the biggest church in town, and they were 43 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,200 do, whatever that will satisfy their yearnings. 44 00:03:17,700 --> 00:03:23,300 We today need to understand that the Church of Christ, the maids 45 00:03:23,300 --> 00:03:29,000 right here on plans Road and Bakersville, California is a 46 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:34,000 congregation devoted to serving God in spirit. 47 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,800 And in truth, we're not going to have all the bells and the 48 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,000 whistles. The denominational world has. 49 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:45,300 But what we do have, we can tell you why we worship by looking in 50 00:03:45,300 --> 00:03:48,100 the scriptures. We can tell you what We Believe 51 00:03:48,100 --> 00:03:51,300 by showing you, but job, Converse, we can show you. 52 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,500 How to be saved by giving you a scripture for that? 53 00:03:54,500 --> 00:03:59,900 This is so very important and you and our audience today, who 54 00:03:59,900 --> 00:04:03,000 may not be a member of the Lord's Church, the Church of 55 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,500 Christ. Then you can take a good look at 56 00:04:06,500 --> 00:04:10,700 what you have here because what you have in this congregation 57 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,100 his weekly convenient. Once you have in this current 58 00:04:14,100 --> 00:04:18,399 gation is singing acapella without any instruments and 59 00:04:18,500 --> 00:04:21,700 music whatsoever.

And during gospel meeting what 62 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,600 you have here is men and women, determined to follow the Bible, 63 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,100 for what it says, we're not here to please man. 64 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,000 We're here to please God. And that's what's important. 65 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,400 Because I'll tell you what there's a lot of people that 66 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,000 don't want it, they don't want it. 67 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,600 You know why? Because they want to be happy. 68 00:04:47,900 --> 00:04:51,000 They want to be tickled that. What you tickle their ears. 69 00:04:51,300 --> 00:04:56,300 We want today to stay true to God's word as men and women of 70 00:04:56,300 --> 00:05:01,600 old who were by faith and Hebrew 11 faithful to the Lord as the 71 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:06,900 set of Abraham by faith. Abraham a few words later obeyed 72 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,200 we want to be those who obey so in order to take you less to 73 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:15,900 fall, just remember, you can but you don't have to and if you do 74 00:05:15,900 --> 00:05:21,200 fall, there is a way back. There is a way, huh? 75 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,900 Home and Galatians, five and four. 76 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:30,800 Paul Roble decisions and he said he said, Christ has no effect 77 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,700 unto you. If you're justified by the law, 78 00:05:34,900 --> 00:05:38,600 That's the Law Moses. Then you are. 79 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:43,100 If you have justified by the law of Moses, you fallen from Grace 80 00:05:43,700 --> 00:05:48,600 say you can't go by the Mosaic law and the law of Christ the 81 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,900 same time, if you just thought by the law of Moses, your fallen 82 00:05:52,900 --> 00:05:56,500 from Grace, you see Fallen from Grace. 83 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,300 Yes there's a definite possibility but not only did the 84 00:06:01,308 --> 00:06:05,300 Corinthians said not only to that Galatians said but the 85 00:06:05,300 --> 00:06:13,100 Hebrew Brethren did in Hebrew 3 and 12 and Hebrews 6 4 through 6 86 00:06:13,500 --> 00:06:19,200 and Hebrew 10 and 26. We have three passages from the 87 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,300 writer of the book of Hebrews. Who warns you about falling? 88 00:06:24,100 --> 00:06:29,300 He lets, you know, he does not want you to depart and Henry 312 89 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:34,800 from the Living. God, a person departs one step 90 00:06:35,300 --> 00:06:40,700 at a time. People drift just slowly down 91 00:06:40,700 --> 00:06:43,300 the river. What further and further, and 92 00:06:43,300 --> 00:06:46,800 further away from the Lord, and away from the church. 93 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,700 We yet he wrote here to the Hebrew Christians. the Hebrews 94 00:06:51,700 --> 00:06:55,400 and Christians lived in a very difficult time, just not the 95 00:06:55,400 --> 00:07:00,800 relation Christian did The Hebrew Christians were born 96 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:05,500 under the Mosaic law. But they died under the 97 00:07:05,500 --> 00:07:09,100 Christian law. Now automatically that had to be 98 00:07:09,100 --> 00:07:13,500 a transition during their life. They were born on the Mosaic 99 00:07:13,500 --> 00:07:15,200 law. They they knew, and I have the 100 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:20,000 back of their hand and then all of a sudden, it came along that 101 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,700 the Old Law was taken out of the way. 102 00:07:21,700 --> 00:07:25,600 The new laws come into effect, they didn't want it, they did 103 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,400 not want the knee law. They wanted to go back to the 104 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,500 law. They knew so well, And Paul the 105 00:07:32,500 --> 00:07:36,100 Apostle and all through these chapters he'll ever be made 106 00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:40,800 known, you cannot go back to the Mosaic law, he even said in 107 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:45,800 Hebrews. 10:26, if you go back to the Mosaic law, there is no 108 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:50,000 more sacrifice for your sin. You can sacrifice. 109 00:07:50,100 --> 00:07:54,400 You make all those weekly monthly yearly sacrifices for, 110 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,500 that means nothing anymore. There's no more sacrifice for 111 00:07:57,500 --> 00:08:02,400 sin, and with that being the case, Asia Mega set up and tell 112 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,100 you know because we've got to follow the word is stay true to 113 00:08:06,100 --> 00:08:13,200 God's word, the Hebrews, they wanted to abandon the law of 114 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:17,900 Christ and unfortunately Fall From Grace. 115 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:26,600 And embrace him has Erica law. However, the Galatians They kind 116 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,500 of want to have one hand of the law of Moses. 117 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,100 One hand of the law of Christ and try to ride it out, honored 118 00:08:33,100 --> 00:08:35,500 to have Paul safe. You can't do that. 119 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:41,200 And then in June, the book, right before Revelation 1, only 120 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:47,200 one chapter chapter 1 24. The Bible said that who keep you 121 00:08:47,500 --> 00:08:52,300 from falling, if you will yourself to his will, you'll be 122 00:08:52,300 --> 00:08:54,900 kept from falling. You've got to make the right 123 00:08:54,900 --> 00:08:58,200 decision. in the right choices and you got to be who you ought 124 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:03,000 to be and if you are then you won't be falling away. 125 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,300 Well I'm going to stay with you now. 126 00:09:06,900 --> 00:09:10,700 The thrust of the lesson prevention from falling our 127 00:09:10,700 --> 00:09:20,600 lesson, take heed, lest he fall, you know, For many years, I 128 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,900 preached a lesson can a child of God. 129 00:09:24,300 --> 00:09:32,100 So saying, as to be lost And for years, I preach it and did not 130 00:09:32,100 --> 00:09:34,300 have a conscience about it in bother me. 131 00:09:35,500 --> 00:09:40,300 But then some reason, all of a sudden it got the bothering me. 132 00:09:41,700 --> 00:09:44,200 There are not believe what it I was preaching. 133 00:09:44,500 --> 00:09:46,700 No, no, I believe one of preaching. 134 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,400 Did I feel like I wasn't making the point? 135 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,300 Clear, well, I fell out. The outline was clear enough and 136 00:09:54,500 --> 00:09:58,900 I asked a few people that, you know, we're understanding in and 137 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,700 our struggling, so I shall get it. 138 00:10:04,100 --> 00:10:06,600 And I didn't understand what is it. 139 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,700 That is bothering me. So I just it was immolated back. 140 00:10:10,900 --> 00:10:15,600 I said I've got to lay it back because I can't preach it with 141 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,400 definite conviction. Even though I did, I was 142 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,800 convicted. But I had to figure out what it 143 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,700 was. That bothered me before I could 144 00:10:24,700 --> 00:10:28,500 justifiably preacher, at least for own conscience, sake, and 145 00:10:28,500 --> 00:10:33,900 for my heart sake, Something's bothering me and then one day I 146 00:10:33,900 --> 00:10:37,000 was reading the book.

That's the truth. 258 00:17:58,100 --> 00:18:01,200 All wrapped up in one verse that's why I love reading. 259 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,900 Scripture 1 versus mm, you can think about it all day long, 260 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,000 comprehend in think about it and pray about it. 261 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:15,200 Where does sin come from anyway? All right, the brother, my lord 262 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:20,000 said in James 1, 12 through 16.

Look here, don't you get a hold 271 00:18:57,300 --> 00:19:04,600 of this of his own lust?

Now, here's the way it works. 362 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,000 Now, I'm get right down in your face. 363 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:19,900 This is the way it works. You a lizard submit to God. 364 00:25:20,100 --> 00:25:23,100 Are you a submit that the devil, one of the two. 365 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,200 That's why it works. You live this to resist. 366 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:32,500 You will resist God, or you were resisted that you cannot drink. 367 00:25:32,500 --> 00:25:37,300 This ended a long time ago, in Matthew 16 and 24. 368 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:41,700 He's not written on the board. Now, Matthew 16:24, he said you 369 00:25:41,700 --> 00:25:45,100 cannot serve two masters. You can love one and hate the 370 00:25:45,100 --> 00:25:47,500 other you and despise one and and clean together. 371 00:25:47,500 --> 00:25:50,300 You can't serve them both. You can't serve God on the 372 00:25:50,308 --> 00:25:52,400 devil. You're going to submit the one 373 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,700 for this. The other, if I submit to the 374 00:25:55,700 --> 00:26:00,300 devil, I would automatically resist God. 375 00:26:01,100 --> 00:26:04,800 Now you got to make a choice. You've got to make a choice. 376 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,200 Who would I submit to who'll? I resist. 377 00:26:09,100 --> 00:26:11,700 Because if you submit to the devil you automatically, that's 378 00:26:11,700 --> 00:26:15,800 God. If you resist the devil, you 379 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,900 automatically submit the god. That's your choice. 380 00:26:19,500 --> 00:26:23,700 You've got to make that choice, and you can't blame everybody 381 00:26:23,700 --> 00:26:26,700 else. People love the blame game. 382 00:26:26,700 --> 00:26:30,100 This won't work. Here, you submit. 383 00:26:30,100 --> 00:26:32,500 Whoever you choose to you submit. 384 00:26:32,500 --> 00:26:35,100 We are free, moral agents, and I didn't deal with any of that 385 00:26:35,100 --> 00:26:39,000 kind of doctrinal, teaching during this lesson, are doing 386 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:43,400 this whole meeting. But you today, You choose who 387 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,800 you want to serve. You are free, moral agent, huge, 388 00:26:46,900 --> 00:26:49,200 make your own decision out of free. 389 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:53,700 Will God gives you the ability to say yes or no and you decide 390 00:26:53,700 --> 00:26:56,700 what you're going to do? Yes, I will go to church. 391 00:26:56,700 --> 00:27:04,400 No, I want That's your decision. I want you today to concentrate 392 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,700 on submitting to God and resisting the devil. 393 00:27:08,300 --> 00:27:12,600 Realizing the devil will flee from you and point number seven 394 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:16,800 ties in with this when we follow the example of Christ. 395 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,900 And Matthew 4:1-11, I'm not going to read this but I'll 396 00:27:19,900 --> 00:27:24,400 paraphrase it. The devil took Jesus up into a 397 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:29,600 high mountain. And he's shown stones and Jesus 398 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:34,000 had just came from the desert land for 40 days, that's nearly 399 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,900 six weeks without anything to eat. 400 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,500 I don't hardly ever go. Six hours without anything to 401 00:27:42,500 --> 00:27:45,700 eat. He was six weeks. 402 00:27:47,300 --> 00:27:52,100 About and the devil said, hey turn these stones to be made 403 00:27:52,100 --> 00:27:55,300 red, guess what? There was nothing wrong for 404 00:27:55,300 --> 00:28:01,400 turning stones to be made bread. But Jesus was not about to lay 405 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,800 any form of an illustration for you that under certain 406 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,300 circumstances. You can do what the devil said. 407 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,800 No, Jesus said it is written. I like this. 408 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:16,200 It is written man. Shall not live by bread alone, 409 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:20,500 but It's Ford, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth 410 00:28:20,500 --> 00:28:23,600 of God. Wow. 411 00:28:23,900 --> 00:28:28,700 So therefore, whenever we're tempted of Satan, you say no. 412 00:28:29,100 --> 00:28:33,100 And you go to what is written, you reach out to God for help, 413 00:28:34,100 --> 00:28:37,400 then the devil, take the Jesus up into the high mountain. 414 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,700 Showed him all the glories, the riches, the wealth of all the 415 00:28:40,700 --> 00:28:44,300 world, listen here, to the devil, all of this. 416 00:28:44,500 --> 00:28:50,900 What I Satan give you Jesus. If you fall down and worship me, 417 00:28:50,900 --> 00:28:54,500 understand the devil. Always have an ulterior motive 418 00:28:55,100 --> 00:28:59,500 if you fall down and worship me, I give it all to you. 419 00:28:59,700 --> 00:29:02,200 If you ever wonder who's in charge of the world, you can 420 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,300 know right here. The devil does, the Bible says 421 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,800 the devil is the God of this world. 422 00:29:09,300 --> 00:29:11,900 Don't go to the world, don't live in the world. 423 00:29:11,900 --> 00:29:14,500 You're living. Like Satan wants you to live. 424 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,400 Don't do it. Don't do it. 425 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:25,500 Jesus said it is written again. Thou shalt not tempt, the Lord, 426 00:29:25,500 --> 00:29:28,900 thy God verse 7. I love these verses. 427 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,700 I mean, he's giving you it is written, and he goes to God for 428 00:29:32,700 --> 00:29:35,900 help when you sing, you say, but chapter verse. 429 00:29:36,100 --> 00:29:41,300 Go to God for help. That's how you've whipped Satan 430 00:29:41,500 --> 00:29:46,200 soundly. Well, this time, Satan take, if 431 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:47,800 I say to you, I think right here. 432 00:29:47,900 --> 00:29:51,300 How to give it up, okay. I think I've been deceased out 433 00:29:51,300 --> 00:29:55,600 and go somewhere else, but no, no, the devil is not a coward. 434 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,400 He comes bouncing back. He says some other Pinnacle of 435 00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,200 the temple. What do you have there? 436 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:05,700 And he said, job the angel shall I give the charge concerning you 437 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,900 less uShip, stuck a toe. That's your foot on a stone 438 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,200 chop. When I was a kid, I used to 439 00:30:13,208 --> 00:30:15,600 think would be so cool if Jesus was drunk. 440 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,300 I thought man he could have done it. 441 00:30:19,300 --> 00:30:24,600 Shut him up, he didn't do it. I really wish he did at that 442 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,300 time. Especially, did you know what? 443 00:30:27,300 --> 00:30:29,600 Jesus did not want to show you sometime? 444 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,100 You might want to do what the devil said? 445 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,600 No, no. He said it is written again. 446 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:40,700 Thou shalt not tempt, the Lord thy God verse 4 of Matthew 24, 447 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:46,100 verse 47 and 10 are the words, recorded by Jesus. 448 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,900 Three times. Geez, were tempted by the devil. 449 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,400 Three time. He said it is written. 450 00:30:52,500 --> 00:30:57,000 And three times he went to God for help three times, he whipped 451 00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:01,600 Satan sin and evil and then the devil left and the angels came 452 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,700 and ministered to him. This is you can breathe a sigh 453 00:31:04,700 --> 00:31:08,500 of relief for a little season. When you've with say, when you 454 00:31:08,500 --> 00:31:10,800 whip Satan and the devil, he will leave you. 455 00:31:12,900 --> 00:31:15,800 Though, for a little while. That here probably bounce back. 456 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,600 Dear friends. I want you to be like, Jesus, 457 00:31:20,100 --> 00:31:22,700 live like him. Read the scriptures. 458 00:31:22,900 --> 00:31:25,000 Read? How he acted under adverse 459 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:30,000 circumstances, read how he responded in days of Glory? 460 00:31:31,500 --> 00:31:35,800 You know, let can I illustrate something to have room on 461 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,800 illustrate here? Earth. 462 00:31:41,700 --> 00:31:44,400 Earth. Heaven. 463 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:53,300 The way we talk sometime, we leave the wrong impression. 464 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,500 Sometime, we teach people to heaven the way. 465 00:31:57,500 --> 00:32:02,000 The heaven is like this from arms of this world. 466 00:32:02,100 --> 00:32:05,100 A straight course straight line straight to heaven. 467 00:32:05,900 --> 00:32:08,000 Now, really, that's not the way it works. 468 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:13,400 For any, of us. The way to heaven, is generally 469 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:24,500 like this. You can have your highs, you can 470 00:32:24,500 --> 00:32:26,700 have your load came out the stock market. 471 00:32:28,700 --> 00:32:33,200 You can have your peeps and your valleys, there'll be time to 472 00:32:33,208 --> 00:32:36,000 your life. You're a strong as your be 473 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,100 there. Other times of your life that 474 00:32:38,100 --> 00:32:43,100 you don't want to meet the Lord. But at the end of your lives, 475 00:32:43,100 --> 00:32:46,400 you want to be right here on the straight and narrow path. 476 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,700 Way you want to go to heaven even if you got to work your way 477 00:32:49,700 --> 00:32:54,200 back up to get there. I don't want to ever hear you, 478 00:32:54,300 --> 00:32:58,700 or anybody else. Complain wine, belly 8, make fun 479 00:32:58,700 --> 00:33:02,900 of 11th, Hour, confession or 11th, Hour baptism. 480 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,500 What I want you to do is be thankful to your God, for 481 00:33:07,500 --> 00:33:11,100 allowing that person. A chance of the eleventh hour. 482 00:33:11,900 --> 00:33:16,700 They were obvious taken out in a sad, tragic automobile accident 483 00:33:16,700 --> 00:33:21,200 or something. I hear people make fun of people 484 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,500 who are making their love with our baptism, our confession, 485 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,500 shame on them, and shame on you, if you do it. 486 00:33:29,500 --> 00:33:31,800 People do what they were just afraid of going to die. 487 00:33:32,100 --> 00:33:35,800 So if you thought you was going to die and you're is not ready 488 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,700 to meet your maker, what would you do? 489 00:33:39,300 --> 00:33:41,200 You'd make your life right with God. 490 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,000 That's what you do. You don't want to go to hell, 491 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:48,500 but don't you ever make fun of or talk down to or talk to 492 00:33:48,500 --> 00:33:51,500 others, about an individual who makes her life, right? 493 00:33:51,500 --> 00:33:55,500 With the Lord, I've baptized people who died 18 hours later 494 00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:57,900 because they want to get right with the Lord. 495 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:04,200 I've taken people's confession who died just moments after we 496 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:07,900 said, amen. I won't tell you this today. 497 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,900 The thief on the cross was in the 11th Hour. 498 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,300 He was about to die. You know what? 499 00:34:16,300 --> 00:34:19,300 Jesus said too late. Now you just afraid you're going 500 00:34:19,300 --> 00:34:21,800 to die and go to hell. Nope, he didn't do that. 501 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:25,900 He said today you are going to be with me in Paradise. 502 00:34:27,900 --> 00:34:30,400 All right, so when you hear people thump around on people 503 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,000 who make love the power of confession, I want you to stand 504 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,100 up for them and say, the thief on the cross stated, we can do 505 00:34:36,100 --> 00:34:38,500 it and you would do it if you were in their shoes. 506 00:34:40,199 --> 00:34:43,699 I want us learn to stand out from people, rather than read of 507 00:34:43,699 --> 00:34:47,500 cheese and put people down. We're one happy family, we 508 00:34:47,500 --> 00:34:50,600 should be helping each other go to heaven and that's what's 509 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,699 happening right here. We're learning how to take heed, 510 00:34:53,699 --> 00:34:56,900 lest you fall. We want to, we want to follow 511 00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,200 the example of Jesus Christ, and we will learn it. 512 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:04,000 Our final point will last about five minutes and we'll be 513 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:08,600 through Follow the Christian Graces. 514 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:13,800 You know, I don't know who think that Christian Graces, it's not 515 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,600 in the Bible.
