1
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,720
Happy Tuesday. 
Tuesday. 

2
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:17,760
Feels feels weird to say but 
usually dropping this on Monday.

3
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:23,200
It is Tuesday took Memorial Day 
off yesterday and you, you went 

4
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,120
like off grid yesterday, which 
is good. 

5
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:26,760
I'm not like knocking you for 
that. 

6
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,800
Where did where did Chris go? 
Where did Chris disappear to 

7
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:30,720
you? 
But like you took your day off. 

8
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,240
Oh, I was really gone. 
Well, and and I can't take a lot

9
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,440
of credit for that because, you 
know, there's this kind of like 

10
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,640
thing of, Hey, you need to 
definitely have a day, right, 

11
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:43,320
Sabbath, Sabbath matters. 
But I don't get to take credit 

12
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,800
for that because what I tend to 
do and how this works in my life

13
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,120
is that like I will just tell 
people who will hold me 

14
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:54,640
accountable, like my family, my,
my wife, God bless her. 

15
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,400
She's she's so good at that. 
She's like, what are you doing? 

16
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,200
What are you doing? 
Are you, you working right now? 

17
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:00,680
And I went, no, no, no, no, not 
at all. 

18
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,400
Of course not. 
So when I told them like, Hey, 

19
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,640
the holiday is the holiday. 
Let's, let's, let's take that 

20
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,880
off. 
I knew that if I'd even like 

21
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,160
peeked at a text message or like
tried to respond to something 

22
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,840
like in a meaningful way, dude, 
I was, I was definitely going to

23
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,280
get called out. 
Wow. 

24
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:18,960
All right. 
Well, good for you. 

25
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,360
I'm glad you have that 
accountability in your life. 

26
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,080
I did. 
I did very little yesterday and 

27
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,920
even the IT seems like work 
things, but it's really, it's 

28
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:29,840
really not. 
I taught, I taught a couple. 

29
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,120
I talked to Eric and wow, I 
can't say words. 

30
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,600
I taught Derek and Chris or Oh 
my goodness. 

31
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,440
Wait, who are we talking? 
About Derek and Grace 

32
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,880
Hendrickson walked them through 
how to change guitar strings 

33
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,200
yesterday. 
Which like whatever fits in fits

34
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,040
into the part of my job that I 
do for music at work. 

35
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,480
But it was more of a skill for 
that since they're both playing 

36
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:49,760
guitar. 
Like they just, they knew how 

37
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,200
to, had to know how to learn how
to do this because you have to, 

38
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,840
if you didn't know, you have to 
change the strings on a guitar 

39
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,200
'cause they get old, they get 
oily, they get dirty just by 

40
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:03,120
touching them and stuff. 
And your guitar never sounds 

41
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,600
better than with brand new 
strings on it. 

42
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:10,000
It's just, it sounds, it sounds 
bright and crisp and that the 

43
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:15,200
strings are like, they have like
a softer texture to them, like 

44
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:16,720
they're just it's, it's a 
delight. 

45
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,280
It's never a better time to play
a guitar than with brand new 

46
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,240
strings on it, so. 
OK, as I hear you describe that,

47
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,680
I'm just relating that to me 
because, you know, playing a 

48
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,520
guitar, I've attempted a couple 
times and it's just painful. 

49
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,560
Like it's just it just it's 
painful on your hands and I'm 

50
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,000
like, that doesn't sound 
pleasant, but OK, sure, do your 

51
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,640
thing. 
But the only way I could relate 

52
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:41,120
that potentially is like putting
on a brand new pair of shoes is 

53
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,560
like the best feeling ever. 
I'm like, I don't care that 

54
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,040
they're not broken and they're 
brand new. 

55
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,160
They smell like new shoes. 
I'm a weirdo. 

56
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,480
Like, I, I love new shoes, 
right? 

57
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,800
Anybody who sees me on a Sunday,
like, you know, I'm rotating, 

58
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,200
you know, between 15 and 20 
pairs of shoes. 

59
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,320
It's just a thing I have. 
Can't help it. 

60
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:03,440
But like, I don't know, like on 
an electric, OK, I can, I can 

61
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,520
get it with like an acoustic 
because you just got this hollow

62
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,320
sound and you, you only have the
strings in like that hollow 

63
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:10,880
space to create the noise, 
right? 

64
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:12,480
Noise is probably the wrong 
word. 

65
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,040
I'm sorry. 
But but with an electric, like 

66
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,920
dude, there's no, there's no 
like hollow box on. 

67
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:20,560
It's just, it's just 
electricity. 

68
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,920
It's just, you know, well, I 
don't even get how that works. 

69
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:27,080
Well, the fair assessment, fair 
assessment there, you're right 

70
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,600
there is like more resonance 
with an acoustic guitar because 

71
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,680
it has the, it has the body, 
it's it's echoing and making 

72
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,000
sound of that. 
The electric does that same 

73
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,960
thing with those little, those 
little like square rectangles or

74
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,080
sometimes they're single coil 
ovals kind of. 

75
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,600
But those are basically 
microphones. 

76
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,160
Those those are basically 
amplification of the strings 

77
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,880
that are lying over them. 
So the strings still are making 

78
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,440
their own sound. 
You're right though, they're 

79
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,760
going through like effects or a 
pedal board or or things like 

80
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:01,200
that that are adding sound or 
distortion or or reverb to the 

81
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,000
strings. 
The strings themselves still 

82
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,440
have like some merit of tone, 
just on their own. 

83
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,760
So I mean, that's fair. 
It just, it sounds like, you 

84
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,800
know, you play an electric 
without being plugged in and 

85
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,760
you're like, OK, that was that 
was that was meaningless. 

86
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,839
OK, I, I, I get that. 
I on an electric especially, 

87
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,880
it's more of the feel of them. 
Like especially for guys that 

88
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,920
are that are soloing, playing 
more than just chords. 

89
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,120
If you have, if you have dirty 
grimy string like you can, you 

90
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,040
can feel kind of like the 
tackiness of them. 

91
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:37,800
You can, you can feel. 
Oh man, how do I even I don't 

92
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:38,680
even know what to relate this 
to. 

93
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,920
I feel like, I feel like used 
guitar strings have a very 

94
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:45,960
distinct feel like I guess 
imagine like a rusted nail like 

95
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:50,600
it would could you versus like a
smooth nail, I guess, yeah, that

96
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,680
would be the biggest thing. 
Not that there's usually like 

97
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,160
rust on guitar strings, but 
there's there's a tackiness, 

98
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,200
there's there's some extra 
residue on dirty guitar strings 

99
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,360
that just isn't exactly as 
pleasant. 

100
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,560
To touch, you know what I just 
immediately thought of? 

101
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,480
I thought of like, OK, so I 
don't play a lot of video games 

102
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,280
anymore, but when I did and I 
had little kids, they got these 

103
00:05:08,280 --> 00:05:10,680
sticky little fingers and then 
the buttons start to stick and 

104
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,600
I'm like mashing this button and
I'm frustrated because now I'm 

105
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,040
dying in whatever game. 
And it's like, it's because this

106
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,320
is, yeah, these are sticky and 
they're not great. 

107
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,760
And like it just it's not 
clicking the way it's supposed 

108
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,360
to, right? 
That's yeah, that's pretty much 

109
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:26,240
the same thing. 
That's fair. 

110
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:27,640
I can live with. 
I can live with that 

111
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,400
explanation. 
I can understand that much. 

112
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:34,240
Yeah, Beyond that, we were, it 
was, it was board game weekend 

113
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,080
this weekend, apparently. 
We taught, we taught Oliver 

114
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:42,360
settlers of Katan. 
Do you say Katan or or Katan? 

115
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:48,200
You know, even you saying Catan,
just you don't have a nasally 

116
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,960
voice, but you can't say Catan. 
It's like, I don't know, man. 

117
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:57,720
It's like that Catan. 
Oh my goodness, come on, man. 

118
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,960
Like, no, I don't think it's 
pretentious to say Catan. 

119
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,080
It just sounds better I feel. 
Like that I played Settlers of 

120
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,240
Catan this weekend. 
I feel like that's just like 

121
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:07,320
you. 
Almost have to have like a 

122
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:11,280
British accent. 
Settlers of Catan that that was 

123
00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:13,800
terrible. 
That was, that was so bad. 

124
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:19,880
That was so bad. 
Yikes that was. 

125
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,400
I feel like you were caught 
between like. 

126
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,920
That's terrible. 
Some some Asian accent and like,

127
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,800
I don't know, and English were 
like all you were trying to do 

128
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,400
all and I don't know what that 
sounds. 

129
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,040
Like, see this, This is why. 
Like, had I even attempted to be

130
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,000
an actor, they'd have been like,
Oh no man, like we're not even 

131
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,960
going to try an accent with you.
It's over. 

132
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,200
Like, just like, you know, I 
think Kevin Costner did Robin 

133
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,320
Hood, who's obviously an English
character and he just, he, he 

134
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,440
could not do the English accent.
There's no way. 

135
00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:47,560
Right. 
So he. 

136
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:48,840
Yeah. 
All right. 

137
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,680
Well, we learned something about
it today. 

138
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:53,600
I want to try again, but I'm 
not. 

139
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:55,800
I'm not going to. 
I'm not going to try again 

140
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,440
because it was terrible. 
All right. 

141
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,560
Well, in in interest of of 
piling on to things that you've 

142
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,080
said. 
I actually I asked that question

143
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:09,120
in in jest for you brought up 
the contrast between bags. 

144
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,720
Oh gosh. 
Or the yard game bags or 

145
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,480
cornhole and and announcements 
on Sunday. 

146
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,640
And there was I got a weird, the
room got weird when you asked 

147
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,520
about cornhole. 
I don't something there's, you 

148
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:27,240
know, I, I understand that in 
certain weird circles that would

149
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:31,400
not be a phrase appropriate for 
a large audience, but like I 

150
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,880
just, I just heard people call 
bags cornhole. 

151
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,960
And so I was just like maybe 
'cause when I said bags, nobody 

152
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,800
like reacted. 
Not that I expect like, Oh yeah,

153
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,200
let's go, but like. 
They didn't seem to know it. 

154
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,160
They didn't seem to know what I 
meant, so I said cornhole. 

155
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,440
And then I got a very different 
reaction from our audience and I

156
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:53,120
was like, oh, but now I've said 
something inappropriate. 

157
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,800
Great. 
You can't call it that. 

158
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:57,760
Apparently not. 
In church you can't. 

159
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,640
I don't know. 
Oh man, I don't know either. 

160
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:05,520
I'm not seven years here, but 
I'm not a native Iowan so I 

161
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,760
would think if we called if the 
alternate name for bags was 

162
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,400
cornhole anywhere it would be 
here. 

163
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,880
Nebraska. 
Where's the We need a 

164
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:17,960
geographical regional map for 
the the title of Yeah, bean bag 

165
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,480
toss. 
I mean the United. 

166
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,360
States they show it on like 
ESPN. 

167
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,960
What does ESPN call that game? 
I have no idea. 

168
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,000
That's right, this professional,
I feel like they just call it 

169
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,280
bags. 
Do they call it bags? 

170
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,080
I don't know. 
So if I showed up on ESPN as 

171
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,000
like an announcer, which would 
be a terrible job for me, But if

172
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,880
I did, 'cause I would try an 
English accent that sound cool 

173
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:38,480
or a British one, it would go. 
It would. 

174
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,159
It would go awesome. 
You would have to be TOFA 

175
00:08:41,159 --> 00:08:45,120
though. 
Right tofa tofa tofa. 

176
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,000
The outside at the cornhole 
tenement. 

177
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:52,400
You can do it. 
I believe in you. 

178
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,720
But you're doing it shockingly 
well. 

179
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,680
Like where did you pick up a 
British accent? 

180
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,200
I don't know, I I. 
You just, you just watch a lot 

181
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,480
of British TV like. 
Sometimes I feel like, yeah, 

182
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,000
really. 
No, not really. 

183
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,160
At all. 
I just feel like actually 

184
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,000
Pirates of the Caribbean, which 
is probably not a great model 

185
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:22,280
for British accents, but I 
don't, We talked, we talked 

186
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,200
about, I feel like we've talked 
about our OK three weeks in a 

187
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:25,120
row. 
We've talked about our wives 

188
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,600
now, but maybe nicknames or or 
last week. 

189
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,280
Yeah, last week we were talking 
about affectionate. 

190
00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:33,800
Oh yes get affectionate like 
hatred face. 

191
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,600
I don't know why and I I 
actually don't even I should 

192
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:42,200
look up what it actually means, 
but the oh man, now I'm going to

193
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,080
get myself in trouble. 
I need to look up what it means 

194
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,760
before I share this actually. 
Is it like did it? 

195
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,240
Is it a phrase that came out of 
those? 

196
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,520
Pirates. 
It's an OK, It is a term of 

197
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:51,760
endearment. 
I just wanted to make sure. 

198
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,320
Yeah. 
In the first movie, they're 

199
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,440
looking for Elizabeth and she's 
hiding and one of the pirates 

200
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,400
just looks in and says ello 
poppet. 

201
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,400
I very often greet Emily with 
that when she comes back and, 

202
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,160
like, she comes home. 
I just ello poppet. 

203
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:13,800
Like that's amazing. 
Dude, I don't know, I just got a

204
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,120
super cool insight into like you
guys's relationship. 

205
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,960
Like hello, poppet. 
Like so I do say that pretty 

206
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,560
regular in the British accent. 
I don't. 

207
00:10:21,560 --> 00:10:24,960
Wow yeah well cuz it sound it 
would sound weird if you said it

208
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,200
like normally. 
Hello Poppet. 

209
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:28,560
Yeah, I don't know. 
I don't. 

210
00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:30,000
That's not as great. 
That's not great. 

211
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,880
Yeah. 
So nobody's entertained by that.

212
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,840
British British phrase for hello
sweetheart or yeah, beloved 

213
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,840
person so. 
Oh yeah, wow. 

214
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:38,920
So that's probably what I don't 
know. 

215
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,240
I think that's mostly why it's 
just like readily available for 

216
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,320
me. 
OK, you're right. 

217
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,040
If I was also a sportscaster, I 
feel like the British accent 

218
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,440
would just be the way to go. 
If you could, man, if you could 

219
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,680
consistently pull it off, you, 
you have, you have a new second 

220
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,760
career ahead of you. 
Like it's, I think it's strong. 

221
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:57,800
You should. 
You should give it a go, man. 

222
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,280
Oh man, thanks. 
I'm glad you're in my corner on 

223
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:01,400
that. 
Well, but here's the thing. 

224
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:06,600
Like, OK, so like if you listen 
to preachers from wherever, like

225
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,720
in this, maybe it's just me, but
like there's a there's a 

226
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,720
preacher who has like AI think 
it's like a Scottish accent. 

227
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,080
And I'm like, I could say the 
exact same thing as him. 

228
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,680
It sounds way cooler when he 
says it. 

229
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:23,080
Or like, you know, we had a guy 
at my last church, he's from 

230
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:27,440
England, and I begged him. 
I was like, can you always read 

231
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:31,080
the text before I preach? 
And he was like, what? 

232
00:11:31,560 --> 00:11:33,280
Well, he didn't say it like 
that, you know, because he's got

233
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,960
an accent. 
But I was just like, dude, it 

234
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:38,440
sounds so much better when you 
say it. 

235
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,640
And I think I weirded him out 
like. 

236
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,000
I feel like I feel like it's 
fair that he got weirded out. 

237
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:49,120
You were like reverse profiling 
him for like your your voice 

238
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,040
that you can't change. 
Dang it, it's just the way you 

239
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,880
are like but it sounds majestic.
I get. 

240
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,360
It like it does, isn't. 
That an American person thing 

241
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,640
too. 
Like just English or or 

242
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,840
Australian accents, like just 
sound somewhat. 

243
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,040
They're speaking the same 
language, but it sounds like 

244
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,160
they're just way cooler than we.
Are way cooler. 

245
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,080
Is it way cooler in the same way
that I think like if you're 

246
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,520
raised above what they used to 
call the Mason Dixon line versus

247
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:18,600
below that like we sound, no 
offense, I'm so sorry. 

248
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,560
Oh my goodness. 
But I'm going to, I'm just going

249
00:12:20,560 --> 00:12:24,400
to go on a limb and say, like, 
you can be the most intelligent 

250
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,440
Southerner of all time, but if 
you speak with a long, slow 

251
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,800
draw, I'm sorry, man. 
Like it's, you're going to have 

252
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,520
to convince me of like, you know
that. 

253
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,440
Like you've got a lot of, I 
don't know, you know what I'm 

254
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,160
saying. 
And it's terrible and I 

255
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,200
shouldn't have said it, but I 
it's already out there now and 

256
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:47,360
Matt can't even respond. 
But but yeah, in the same way, 

257
00:12:47,560 --> 00:12:50,560
in the same way I feel like, 
like it's English, it's 

258
00:12:50,560 --> 00:12:53,960
terrible. 
I'm, I'm a not a nice person, 

259
00:12:54,560 --> 00:12:58,040
but like, you know, so like in 
the same way that I would feel 

260
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,080
just sound wise superior to 
somebody who's got a deep 

261
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,040
southern accent. 
I think the English accent 

262
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,680
British is seemingly superior 
to. 

263
00:13:06,680 --> 00:13:08,760
Like the regular American? 
Yeah, yeah. 

264
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,800
I'm not sure I'm sorry. 
I think. 

265
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,560
I think that feeling is there 
anyway, wow. 

266
00:13:15,560 --> 00:13:19,800
We have already fully derailed. 
We are going to get into some 

267
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,560
more substantive Bible things in
just a minute. 

268
00:13:23,560 --> 00:13:26,920
Now we're going to jump through 
Acts chapter 3 that we kind of 

269
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,040
skipped over in our sermon 
series, but we want to recount 

270
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,120
some of the events that happened
in chapter 3. 

271
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:36,040
We'll go over and recap my 
message from Sunday Acts Chapter

272
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:40,480
4, the prayer for boldness for 
the church and and for 

273
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,640
Christians and the disciples. 
But before that, we'll have our 

274
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:47,360
weekly Would you rather? 
And the question this week is, 

275
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,640
would you rather be constantly 
tired no matter how much you 

276
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:55,000
sleep, or constantly hungry no 
matter how much you eat? 

277
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,920
This is terrible. 
Assuming, and this assumes you 

278
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,480
don't have the health problems, 
like you're not, you're not 

279
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:06,440
actually sleep deprived and 
you're not actually starving, 

280
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:13,800
you just feel tired or hungry. 
OK, well, I, I, I often, and 

281
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:18,240
again, you know, I often times 
do that to myself almost 

282
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,280
intentionally. 
Like I stay up too late knowing 

283
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,560
that it's like, well, you have 
this thing that you need to be 

284
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,720
at in the morning and you need 
to be present and then where? 

285
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,680
And, and so I often feel that 
way and it's not a great 

286
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,120
feeling. 
There's like this, you know, 

287
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,320
you, all of you listening, you 
can probably understand like 

288
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,440
there's this kind of like haze, 
a little fogginess and you're 

289
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,760
like, man, I just don't feel 
quite as sharp and that's 

290
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,760
terrible. 
Yep, not a good feeling. 

291
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:45,240
But the other side of this, the 
hunger, I think it would be, I 

292
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:49,440
think it'd be a really weird 
sensation to be constantly hung.

293
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,800
Like we're used to feeling 
hungry and then eating something

294
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,600
because we're hungry, but to be 
eating something and not have 

295
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,280
that feeling go away, Wouldn't 
you just keep eating? 

296
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,400
Like wouldn't you just 
constantly stuff yourself? 

297
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,520
Yeah, I OK, So have you 
experienced like authentic 

298
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,080
hanger, hungry, angry, you've 
experienced it like you get 

299
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,600
super like. 
Moody off of that too, not just 

300
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:17,040
sleep deprived but hunger, 
hunger deprived you can just be 

301
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,680
on a little bit more of a hair 
trigger or just get annoyed by 

302
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,800
yeah and just. 
Yeah, well, I so I had a recent 

303
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,000
experience of that on Sunday 
after church. 

304
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,200
You know, church is great, go to
the gym, Haven't really eaten 

305
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,640
anything all day unless it's 
like we need to shop for 

306
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,440
groceries because now there's 
four humans in our house instead

307
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,200
of two and we actually have to 
go shopping. 

308
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,160
That's weird, but OK, let's do 
that. 

309
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,400
So do all the things before 
that. 

310
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,160
And now all of a sudden, like 
I'm walking around grocery 

311
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,360
stores looking at aisles and 
aisles of food and like, I can 

312
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,280
feel myself getting annoyed with
everything. 

313
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,200
Like everything is making me 
angry now. 

314
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,080
So like the person just 
innocently pushing their cart 

315
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,080
and I'm just like, oh, I'm just,
I don't like that person. 

316
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,000
I don't, I don't like so 
authentic hangry kind of moment.

317
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,320
Well, we get to, so I'm, I'm 
like at my wit's end. 

318
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:09,320
Like even even like minor 
traffic in Davenport has now got

319
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,560
me like ready to jump out of the
car. 

320
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,120
And so like, we get to Costco 
and I was like, listen, I'm 

321
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,600
going to use the restroom. 
And like on my trip to the 

322
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,800
restroom, I walk by and of 
course, of course, you know, you

323
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,560
can get a hot dog and A and a 
soda for $1.50. 

324
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:31,600
I'm like, oh, I'm making a stop 
because otherwise I, I don't 

325
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,680
know, like I'm not a good person
right now. 

326
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:35,560
So I did it, you know, I did 
that. 

327
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,760
And then all of a sudden, like 
I'm back to normal. 

328
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,520
And it was great. 
And like, you know, people can 

329
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,640
get in the way and you're 
shopping, you're like, oh, it's 

330
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:43,680
fine. 
It's great. 

331
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,000
So yeah, the hangry thing, 
that's real for me. 

332
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,280
So I I think I would just have 
to be sleep deprived. 

333
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,600
So you're not. 
You think you're less irritable 

334
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,240
when sleep deprived? 
Because I think both of these 

335
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:58,880
could lead to escalated 
annoyance in your life. 

336
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:03,040
Yeah, but dude, that experience 
I had a couple days ago, 

337
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:07,480
seriously, I was, I was like fit
to be tied because I was so 

338
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,599
hungry. 
I was just I, I don't know if I 

339
00:17:09,599 --> 00:17:11,839
could live that way. 
So because of reason, it's it's 

340
00:17:11,839 --> 00:17:13,319
more real for you, the hungry 
thing. 

341
00:17:13,319 --> 00:17:16,319
You might have to dismiss that. 
Yeah, where are you at? 

342
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:25,359
I I hear that I receive that I 
think I'm more often experience 

343
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,920
and maybe adults parents, which 
probably a lot of you are. 

344
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,160
Aren't we already constantly 
tired? 

345
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:41,440
Aren't most of us just walking 
around in a in a moderately 

346
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,840
sleep deprived you're? 
Just walking zombies. 

347
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,920
Isn't the first part of this 
question just my life as it is 

348
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,000
right now? 
You. 

349
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:52,200
Have no choice. 
So. 

350
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,480
So maybe a different line of 
reasoning to get there. 

351
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,400
I think my answer is the same as
yours. 

352
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,760
I think I would rather be 
constantly tired. 

353
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:02,360
That's what you chose, right? 
You'd rather be constantly 

354
00:18:02,360 --> 00:18:03,440
tired. 
I don't want to blow up to like 

355
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:08,400
£300 because I'm always hungry. 
Right, I just, I think you might

356
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,360
be right. 
The the annoyance of hunger is 

357
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:13,920
possibly greater than the 
annoyance of tired. 

358
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:15,560
I don't know that I'm annoyed 
when I'm tired. 

359
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,440
I'm just like you said, like 
just kind of foggy checked out. 

360
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,840
Blah. 
A little lethargic maybe? 

361
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:26,400
Yeah, but also with thinking 
about like I, I think I might 

362
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,440
constantly be tired already 
anyway, so I don't know. 

363
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,000
I don't know. 
I'd rather not all. 

364
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,880
I think even if I was constantly
hungry, I might constantly also 

365
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:37,640
be tired. 
So I think I have to choose the 

366
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,520
I would rather be constantly 
tired and take care of my hunger

367
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,560
because I think I might already 
be constantly tired. 

368
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,080
Yeah, that I, if you have a 
different opinion, I'd love to 

369
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,240
hear it, but I think that that 
feels like the way to go. 

370
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:52,800
Yep. 
I think that's it. 

371
00:18:53,520 --> 00:19:00,160
All right. 
We are turning to ACT Chapter 3.

372
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,600
We didn't talk a whole lot. 
I referenced a little bit of the

373
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:10,640
story in summary in my message 
on Sunday, but we're going to 

374
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,840
read through the text and just 
kind of highlight the events 

375
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,960
that were happening, how the 
Holy Spirit's moving, the words 

376
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:21,600
spoken and preached through 
Peter and John, and recap the 

377
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,840
message from Acts chapter 4 a 
little bit as well. 

378
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,000
But for now, I'm just going to 
read through this first part of 

379
00:19:27,120 --> 00:19:30,360
chapter 3 and we'll kind of talk
about what we see here, What was

380
00:19:30,360 --> 00:19:34,360
going on in the early church 
Acts chapter 3, starting at 

381
00:19:34,360 --> 00:19:37,080
verse one. 
Now Peter and John, we're going 

382
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,640
up to the temple at the hour of 
prayer, the 9th hour. 

383
00:19:40,120 --> 00:19:42,880
And a man lame from birth was 
being carried, whom they laid 

384
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,040
daily at the gate of the temple 
that is called the beautiful 

385
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,240
gate, to ask alms of those 
entering the temple. 

386
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,000
Seeing Peter and John about to 
go into the temple, he asked to 

387
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,520
receive alms. 
And Peter directed his gaze at 

388
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,760
him, as did John and said, look 
at us. 

389
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,520
And he fixed his attention on 
them, expecting to receive 

390
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,960
something from them. 
But Peter said I have no silver 

391
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,160
and gold, but what I do have to 
give you in the name of Jesus 

392
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,240
Christ of Nazareth. 
Rise up and walk. 

393
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:09,800
And he took him by the right 
hand and raised him up. 

394
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,320
And immediately his feet and 
ankles were made strong, and 

395
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,160
leaping up he stood and began to
walk and enter the temple with 

396
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,160
them, walking and leaping and 
praising God. 

397
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,720
And all the people who saw him 
walking and praising God and 

398
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,760
recognized him as the one who 
sat at the beautiful gate of the

399
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:25,160
temple asking for alms, they 
were filled with wonder and 

400
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,320
amazement at what had happened 
to him. 

401
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:29,760
It's ridiculous. 
Wow. 

402
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:35,160
Yeah, that's insane. 
So cool moment, awesome moment. 

403
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,560
I talked about it on Sunday that
this actually comes to a point 

404
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:43,280
where the religious leaders, the
teachers of the law, they, they 

405
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:47,760
were telling Peter and John to 
stop doing this, to stop doing 

406
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,320
miracles, to stop preaching the 
name of Jesus, but they couldn't

407
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:55,760
actually arrest them or punish 
them for healing. 

408
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,560
This man, This guy, some some 
scholars and commentators would 

409
00:20:59,960 --> 00:21:02,080
would guesstimate his age to be 
in his 40s. 

410
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,520
And if he was this way from 
birth, who knows how long that 

411
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,120
daily he was brought that the 
whole community, the whole 

412
00:21:08,120 --> 00:21:11,520
temple community would know this
guy as the guy who was laying in

413
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,960
front of the gate every day, 
right? 

414
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,520
So for him to all of a sudden be
healed and walking and leaping 

415
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:25,240
even as much whatever propaganda
or or shifting or or denial that

416
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,880
the religious leaders wanted to 
put on that they, they couldn't 

417
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,440
undo that right? 
They they couldn't convince 

418
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:36,720
people that that didn't happen. 
Well, you know, OK, So if you've

419
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,080
ever spent any time in like 
bigger cities, what you'll find 

420
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:44,760
is like people who, you know, 
they're, they beg, right? 

421
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:46,280
You know, they're, they're 
asking for things. 

422
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,720
They have their usual spots. 
Even in Davenport, you can see 

423
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:50,840
it. 
So depending on what street 

424
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,440
you're coming up on during 
especially the warm weather 

425
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,840
months, you'll see the same 
person there over and over 

426
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,400
again, day after day because 
like that's kind of their spot. 

427
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:03,880
And so this man clearly had a 
spot picked out and had been 

428
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,560
consistently there for who knows
how many years, the entire 

429
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,200
community. 
And what's really kind of neat 

430
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,320
about this is the entire 
community had been supporting 

431
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:16,000
this man for all of that time. 
And they know who he is. 

432
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,040
And you know, hey, when I come 
up to the temple, I'm probably, 

433
00:22:19,120 --> 00:22:21,360
you know, he's going to ask. 
And so here's how much I have to

434
00:22:21,360 --> 00:22:23,320
give him today to kind of 
support him. 

435
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,320
And, and that's what that 
community did. 

436
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:31,160
So to have him running and 
jumping and leaping and praising

437
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:36,600
God as he like skips into the 
temple is pure insanity for 

438
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,080
anybody who's probably been 
dropping change at this guy's 

439
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,640
feet for the last 10/15/20 
years. 

440
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:47,800
It's crazy, you can't deny it. 
So the other part of this that I

441
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,280
wonder and we don't see, we 
don't know for sure. 

442
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,680
The text doesn't tell us for 
sure, but I love Peter's 

443
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,040
response in verse 6. 
I have no silver and gold, but 

444
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:01,560
what I do have I give to you in 
the name of Jesus Christ of 

445
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:06,000
Nazareth. 
Rise up and walk now. 

446
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:12,680
Yes, Peter and John, this is 
after Pentecost indwelt filled 

447
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,840
up with the Holy Spirit 
commissioned to go do miracles 

448
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,960
and healings and and things just
like this. 

449
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:25,040
But I wonder, I wonder if the 
beggar knew I I wonder if these 

450
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,560
people he was there for money. 
He was he was there for people 

451
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:32,880
to give to him, right? 
I wonder though, he was there 

452
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:39,440
this often were the people going
to the temple, Were they just 

453
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:44,120
throwing coins at his feet day 
after day and not telling him 

454
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:50,080
about this Jesus about like were
they not caring for him with the

455
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:56,320
thing that he ultimately most 
needed in this and and and in 

456
00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:01,720
some ways a little personal 
conviction on yeah, those that 

457
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:06,680
we sometimes do pass in in the 
car in in the city looking for 

458
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:10,000
aid. 
Even if I don't have cash or 

459
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,280
money or a or a a go bag a 
giving a giving bag. 

460
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,680
Some some people make Ziplocs of
commodities and simple. 

461
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,440
Simple things. 
To hand out to even if I don't 

462
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:25,320
have one of those things on me, 
what I do have, right? 

463
00:24:25,360 --> 00:24:29,320
What I do have with me 
constantly at all time, I, I, I 

464
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:35,360
could pray or encourage or or 
even speak the truth that I know

465
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:37,520
to this person, right? 
Do we? 

466
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,400
How often do we fall short of 
that? 

467
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,880
And I again, not in a that's 
very law, that's very, that's 

468
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,440
very guilt ridden maybe, but but
I see it here, Peter, that's 

469
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,000
Peter's response. 
I don't have the things you're 

470
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,720
looking for. 
I don't have a 20 to give to 

471
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,200
you. 
I don't have food with me to 

472
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,240
give to you. 
But what I do have this I give. 

473
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,400
Well, and how many people, I 
suppose. 

474
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,800
Wow. 
How many people do we know who 

475
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,840
are spiritually destitute, 
Right. 

476
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,920
And I have something to give 
you, yet I don't give it to you.

477
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:16,400
Instead, I, I kind of, you know,
I, I give you things that you 

478
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,360
already have or that you don't 
actually need, you know, but 

479
00:25:19,360 --> 00:25:22,120
you're spiritually destitute. 
And I have this thing to give 

480
00:25:22,120 --> 00:25:24,360
you. 
But no, I think I'll keep it to 

481
00:25:24,360 --> 00:25:26,320
myself because my faith is very 
private. 

482
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,520
Very private or we feel like we 
might be an annoyance like. 

483
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,760
I talked about, yeah. 
We have, we have fear of fear of

484
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,520
rejection, fear of whatever that
might be. 

485
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,960
Isn't that, isn't that crazy 
that we might have a fear of 

486
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:44,400
rejection of a complete stranger
or even a stranger in need even.

487
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:50,040
And we have a fear of rejection 
or awkwardness that's mild like.

488
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,600
That is, but it just, it just 
shows you how powerful the fear 

489
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:57,240
of man is versus the God that we
should fear, right? 

490
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:01,360
One is infinitely more powerful 
in our hearts and in our minds, 

491
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,560
and it's not the right one 
usually. 

492
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,680
And so like, yeah, that's, 
that's heavy, but that's 

493
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,960
probably real for the vast 
majority of us that we, that we 

494
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,200
feel that social pressure to fit
in or to make people like us or 

495
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,240
to not cause any waves. 
We definitely feel that. 

496
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,440
But clearly John and Peter, 
like, yeah, we don't care. 

497
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,320
We're we're going to do what God
tells us to do. 

498
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,640
And in this moment, God is 
prompting us to tell this man, 

499
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,360
stand up because you've done 
this long enough. 

500
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,120
And he doesn't just stop there. 
I love the response too, and I 

501
00:26:32,120 --> 00:26:37,840
love the the words contained in 
Luke's account here and and 

502
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:41,880
leaping up. 
He didn't didn't stand up the 

503
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:46,800
word like he bolted. 
He over the top, out of control,

504
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,600
leaped up, he stood and began to
walk, entered the temple, 

505
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,080
walking and leaping and praising
God. 

506
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,040
So this wasn't just, it wasn't 
just a conventional 

507
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,280
run-of-the-mill that his 
response is. 

508
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:03,800
This guy is making a real scene 
because imagine, you know, even 

509
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,600
modern day, like you and your 
family, you're walking in from 

510
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,840
the parking lot in the church 
and everybody's like, oh, we're 

511
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,120
dressed nice and we have a 
pleasant look on our faces. 

512
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,240
Can you imagine somebody, like, 
jumping up and down, slapping 

513
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:15,920
the window on their way by as 
they're coming back? 

514
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,080
Yeah, I'm here to praise the 
Lord. 

515
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,080
Woo. 
And, you know, they're just like

516
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,600
jumping up and down while people
are trying to drink coffee. 

517
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,600
It's it's unreal. 
But I think that's the response 

518
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:29,440
that we like secretly want all 
the time too, right? 

519
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,480
Like that's, that's the response
of praise and affection and 

520
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,200
attention that we want to give 
to God at all times. 

521
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,880
I, I think if we're honest with 
ourselves, if social, social 

522
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:44,320
propriety and jubilant 
awkwardness aside, like if we 

523
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,520
could, if we could quell those 
things we want this response to.

524
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:48,880
Be yeah, absolutely our 
response. 

525
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,600
And I, I, I, I feel that on 
certain Sundays, you know, for 

526
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:56,760
sure, like man, God is, God is 
doing good work through his 

527
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,600
word. 
And, you know, there's a 

528
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:03,160
proclamation of grace and truth 
and peace and freedom. 

529
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,400
And like, you know, that gets 
moving in my soul. 

530
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:11,800
It's stirred in such a way. 
And, and I just want everybody 

531
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,920
to kind of join me in that, like
joyful insanity. 

532
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,360
And, but like, that's not the 
culture we live in, right? 

533
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,200
Well, it's, it's just not where 
we are. 

534
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,520
We're not like up in like woo, 
you know, and, and I understand 

535
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:27,720
too, like biblically, like when 
we meet together, we are there 

536
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:31,800
to be in community and 
fellowship and learn and 

537
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,720
understand and, and take in 
something really important. 

538
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:39,160
But at the same time, like man, 
to have this like expression, 

539
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,680
this physical expression of joy 
where you just literally cannot 

540
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,880
contain it. 
That's that's remarkable. 

541
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,240
And it's always fun to see that.
Pretty cool, pretty cool. 

542
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:53,000
And it and it goes on verse 11. 
While he clung to Peter and 

543
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,720
John, all the people, utterly 
astounded, ran together to them 

544
00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:00,120
in the portico called Solomon's.
And when Peter saw it, he 

545
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,240
addressed the people. 
Men of Israel, Why do you wonder

546
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,400
at this? 
Or why do you stare at us as 

547
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,520
though by our power or piety we 
have made him walk? 

548
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,520
The God of Abraham, the God of 
Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the

549
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,640
God of our fathers, glorified 
His servant Jesus, whom you 

550
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:18,040
delivered over and denied in the
presence of Pilate when he had 

551
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,080
decided to release him. 
But you denied the holy and 

552
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,040
righteous 1 and asked for a 
murderer to be granted to you, 

553
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,400
and you killed the Author of 
life, whom God raised from the 

554
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,920
dead. 
To this we are witnesses, and 

555
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,720
His name by faith in His name 
has made this man strong whom 

556
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,960
you see and know. 
And the faith that is through 

557
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,120
Jesus has given the man this 
perfect health in the presence 

558
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,440
of you all. 
Wow. 

559
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:46,760
Heavy words. 
He's Peter he's mad Peter might 

560
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,120
be hangry in this in this 
moment. 

561
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:55,400
We got to get this guy a 
Snickers it It's interesting to 

562
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,880
me that their that their 
reaction, which Luke says in 

563
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:00,520
verse 10. 
They were filled with wonder and

564
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:06,440
amazement and Peter is somehow 
his reaction is somehow 

565
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:11,120
annoyance or or anger or 
irritation at why are you amazed

566
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:12,520
by this? 
You should know this. 

567
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,600
We have we have history the God 
of Abraham, the God of Isaac, 

568
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,480
the the people to which you 
claim to be a part of. 

569
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:25,440
We have a history of the the 
amazing deeds that this God has 

570
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,480
done. 
You all were the ones who 

571
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,440
crucified Jesus. 
You told Pilate to punish him. 

572
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,880
You released the murderer. 
You killed the author of life 

573
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,680
and Peter just you should know 
better right Like that's that's 

574
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,880
what these words. 
It's a it's a chastisement of 

575
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,120
you should know and you know 
what this is what we're 

576
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:43,440
preaching. 
This is what we're witnessing. 

577
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,320
You're amazed by this. 
This is this is normal. 

578
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:51,480
This is life in the author of 
life whom God raised from the 

579
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,640
dead in your presence. 
You seeing this this this should

580
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:59,240
be expected. 
Almost, is his response. 

581
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,800
And that's, that's a cool thing.
And I think that's why Jesus can

582
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:07,040
say, if you have faith the size 
of a mustard seed, you can move 

583
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:12,120
this mountain. 
I, I don't think, gosh, we, we 

584
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:16,760
don't necessarily take that 
saying of Jesus literally, but 

585
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:21,120
maybe we ought. 
Because as Peter and John walk 

586
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:24,720
up to this guy, what kind of, 
what kind of confidence, what 

587
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,840
kind of faith did it take for 
them to be able to say, all 

588
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,440
right, get up and walk? 
I mean, there's no doubt in 

589
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,160
their mind, there's no division 
in their mind that when they say

590
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,040
that in the name of Jesus, this 
dude's going to stand up and 

591
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,360
walk. 
Like, no question about it, they

592
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:42,320
had sheer and utter and complete
confidence that God was going to

593
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:45,400
do this. 
And you know, this is, this is 

594
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,840
the same God who parted the sea.
This is the same God who raised 

595
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,120
Lazarus from the dead. 
This is the same God, you know, 

596
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:55,720
and you can go on and on and on.
And I, I have to wonder, and I 

597
00:31:55,720 --> 00:32:00,600
mean this for me too. 
I have to wonder, like, man, how

598
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:04,560
big or how small is my faith 
that I don't do this because, 

599
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,280
you know, I, gosh, just put 
yourself in John and Peter's 

600
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,480
shoes. 
What kind, what kind of courage 

601
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,240
and what kind of faith does it 
take to say, all right, man, get

602
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:17,800
up, like I'm not playing get up.
And then I, I don't know, man, 

603
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:22,280
that's, that's I, I, I, I wish I
had that. 

604
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,200
I hear what you're saying. 
I really do. 

605
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:28,360
It makes my faith feel small. 
It does. 

606
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:34,760
Because yeah, either that or why
do I believe that God doesn't 

607
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,640
act that way anymore? 
No, I, I don't, I don't believe 

608
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:41,840
that the Holy Spirit can't move 
in a healing way like this, even

609
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:45,920
even in that instant. 
But yeah, so where's the, 

610
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,240
where's the minutiae of why not 
me? 

611
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,320
Is it, is it a me problem? 
Which I think is what? 

612
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:55,600
Your and that's what I'm asking.
Is it a my faith problem 'cause 

613
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:57,640
I and I don't know that it 100% 
is. 

614
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:01,680
I think sure, we could be on a 
proper faith level and for some 

615
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:08,120
reason, maybe we just aren't in 
some contexts where that is 

616
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:14,360
glorifying to God more than more
than me or or or or or in in a 

617
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,720
way that is for the glory of 
God. 

618
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:21,280
Because I think that's also what
Peter's getting at here. 

619
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:25,560
This, this is at no point he 
says it's not, it's not our 

620
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,400
power of piety that we made him 
walk. 

621
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:31,120
This is this is all God again, 
not the not the Kingdom of we, 

622
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,040
not the Kingdom of me, the 
Kingdom of God. 

623
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:37,480
He's pointing all to that. 
So I don't know. 

624
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,040
I don't I don't have a good 
answer. 

625
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,280
I wonder too, if there was just 
like, you know, because I do 

626
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:47,000
think you can be sensitive to 
the movement of the Holy Spirit 

627
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:51,600
and, and you can also be wildly 
unsensitive to that in the sense

628
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:55,920
that like I just block it out. 
And, you know, God, God through 

629
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,440
the Spirit has asked me to have 
these conversations several 

630
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,440
times and I just kind of always 
quench that fire. 

631
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:04,440
And so now I just, I don't hear,
I'm not sensitive to hearing 

632
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:08,000
God's movement. 
And you can only imagine that, 

633
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:12,239
like, these two in particular 
must have been so wildly 

634
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:17,120
sensitive to every minuscule 
movement of God inside their 

635
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,840
hearts as the Spirit is 
prompting them to do something. 

636
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:22,480
They're just so used to saying, 
yes. 

637
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:27,679
Now that, like, man, even at a 
slight prompt, I mean, imagine 

638
00:34:27,679 --> 00:34:29,120
like, this thought goes through 
your head. 

639
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,960
Like, yeah, I don't, I don't 
really want to give this guy 

640
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,159
money, but it'd be awesome to 
see him walk. 

641
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:38,440
And then God's like, do it. 
And it's just that subtle little

642
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,880
do it that, that, that still 
small voice in the back of your 

643
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,600
in your in your head that says, 
well, then just do it. 

644
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,159
And they just respond. 
They just absolutely respond in 

645
00:34:48,159 --> 00:34:50,960
real time. 
And maybe that's what that is. 

646
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,520
I'm not sure. 
Yeah, I love that. 

647
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,159
No, that's what if. 
I don't know, but I'd, I'd like 

648
00:34:56,159 --> 00:34:58,520
to see this guy. 
I want to see this guy walk. 

649
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,240
And what if? 
What if in that moment, that 

650
00:35:01,240 --> 00:35:04,720
little whatever that thought or 
that prayer spoken back from 

651
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:06,960
Peter and John, I, I want to see
this guy walk. 

652
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,240
It was not God's response, at 
least at least in this moment. 

653
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:15,120
I want that too. 
And that and and then and then 

654
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:19,160
it's and then it's played out. 
So law filled words, Peter, 

655
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:22,600
Peter's annoyed and accusatory 
of of the people. 

656
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:26,840
But then verse 17, Grace comes 
back into the conversation. 

657
00:35:27,240 --> 00:35:29,400
Peter says. 
And now, brothers, I know that 

658
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:33,320
you acted in ignorance, as did 
also your rulers. 

659
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,080
But what God foretold by the 
mouth of all the prophets, that 

660
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,400
is, Christ, would suffer, He 
thus fulfilled. 

661
00:35:38,720 --> 00:35:41,280
Repent therefore, and turn back,
that your sins may be blotted 

662
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,960
out, that times of refreshing 
may come from the presence of 

663
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,480
the Lord, and that He may send 
the Christ appointed for you 

664
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:50,320
Jesus, whom heaven must receive 
until the time for restoring all

665
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,720
the things about which God spoke
by the mouth of his holy 

666
00:35:52,720 --> 00:35:55,360
prophets. 
Long ago Moses said, The Lord 

667
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:58,360
God worries up for you like a 
prophet like me from your 

668
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,320
brothers. 
You shall listen to him in 

669
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:02,240
whatever he tells you. 
And it shall be that every soul 

670
00:36:02,240 --> 00:36:05,120
who does not listen to what the 
prophet to that prophet shall be

671
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,200
destroyed from the people. 
And all the prophets who have 

672
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,120
spoken from Samuel and those who
came after him also proclaimed 

673
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,360
these days you are the sons of 
the prophets and of the covenant

674
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,320
that God made with your father's
saying to Abraham. 

675
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,480
And in your offspring shall all 
the families of the earth be 

676
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,680
blessed. 
God having raised up his servant

677
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,840
and sent him to you first to 
bless you by turning everyone of

678
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:27,240
you from your wickedness. 
The message of grace abounds 

679
00:36:27,240 --> 00:36:30,120
here. 
Peter reminds them, yes, you did

680
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:34,800
these wrongdoings. 
You chose Barabbas over Jesus. 

681
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:39,400
You chose Jesus to be destined 
to die at at Pilot's hand and 

682
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:40,960
well, Pilot washed his head. 
But. 

683
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:46,640
Yeah. 
Jesus to be sentenced to die and

684
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,840
Peter turns it around and 
reminds them that God's promise 

685
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:55,000
hasn't changed right. 
He chose you long ago all your 

686
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,880
father's and that people you 
still are the same people. 

687
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,800
So turn repent, come back into 
the fullness of this plan. 

688
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:03,120
God actually has blessing for 
you. 

689
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:06,400
He sent Jesus here first to 
bless you that you would know 

690
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,000
1st and and turn from your 
wickedness. 

691
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:13,440
God wanted to save you first 
from all of this, so respond. 

692
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:19,440
It's an amazing thing to watch 
Peter just use what we call law 

693
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:23,040
and gospel so effectively. 
So like, hey, here's here's what

694
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:25,560
your sin looks like. 
Here's where you have morally 

695
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:27,720
and ethically failed over and 
over again. 

696
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:32,200
But but there's still something 
out there that is greater than 

697
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:34,920
your failure. 
There is this Christ who has 

698
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,560
been prophesied from the 
beginning, from the beginning of

699
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:39,360
time, God knew what he was going
to do. 

700
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,760
This was his definite plan, as 
the Bible says. 

701
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,840
And so to know that like, 
regardless of my failure, 

702
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:50,040
regardless of my infinitely 
small faith that I don't use 

703
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:54,280
properly, that I don't speak 
well enough, there's still God 

704
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,960
who's on my side, who's cheering
me on. 

705
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,960
And he does that for all of us 
who, who are putting our faith 

706
00:37:59,960 --> 00:38:03,320
in our belief in him, regardless
of how many times we failed. 

707
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,200
And to have that level of 
forgiveness, to have that level 

708
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:09,400
of somebody who deeply loves 
you, no matter how flawed you 

709
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:12,200
are. 
I, I really, I really, really 

710
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:16,800
believe to the extent and to the
degree that we can understand 

711
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:21,640
how deeply loved we are. 
And human words just don't do it

712
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:23,960
justice. 
But to that same degree, like 

713
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,600
man, there's, there's power in 
that, there's confidence in 

714
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:30,600
that, there's the ability to 
just speak truth in that. 

715
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:32,920
And that's what the Gospel gives
us. 

716
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:36,200
Amen, Amen. 
It's so good. 

717
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:37,480
And you're you're absolutely 
right. 

718
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,480
Law gospel. 
We don't just say that because 

719
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:43,960
it's a cliche thing. 
We see it lived out in, in how 

720
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:47,600
scriptures, even like Paul, we 
can get into that, his contrast 

721
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,640
between convicting and grace and
and and those things and Peter 

722
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:54,320
right here, same thing hitting 
them hard with with the guilt. 

723
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:58,920
And but God steps in and has 
already not even steps in. 

724
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,400
He already stepped in. 
You ignored him and he's still 

725
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,400
there waiting for you to turn 
back and repent. 

726
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:05,320
Yeah. 
That's awesome. 

727
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:10,040
Chapter 4 comes upon us and we 
covered, I covered pretty 

728
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:11,640
extensively. 
We're we're kind of going back 

729
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,240
and recapping Chapter 3 because 
I didn't have a whole lot of 

730
00:39:14,240 --> 00:39:17,080
leftovers. 
Honestly, from what I reached on

731
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:22,720
in, in chapter 4 verses 23 
through 31, I know I went long. 

732
00:39:22,720 --> 00:39:26,280
It was almost 40 minutes and I 
didn't leave a whole lot out. 

733
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,400
That's maybe why it was that 
long because I didn't leave any 

734
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,840
leftovers for the podcast. 
But we do want to kind of recap 

735
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,480
how we got to that. 
Point so I wanted to bring up 

736
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:38,560
because I just, you know, it's 
it's so cool when that happens, 

737
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:42,640
whether whether that's from a 
spiritual point or like a a 

738
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,160
public speaking point. 
I think there's something so 

739
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:49,400
cool about having an 
illustration that carries the 

740
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,640
whole way through and it seems 
kind of silly. 

741
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,560
But like this, this game show 
you brought up who wants to be a

742
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,560
millionaire? 
Like the the safe points like 

743
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:03,600
that hit me right across the 
head and I was just like, oh 

744
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:07,760
man, like that is so true. 
And that's, and that's why it's 

745
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,240
an effective illustration is 
because that's so true. 

746
00:40:10,240 --> 00:40:13,040
That idea of having like, OK, I 
made it this far. 

747
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,760
Good enough for me. 
No more boldness needed. 

748
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,720
I, I think I have what I came 
for and that's good enough. 

749
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:24,520
And Oh my goodness, the fact 
that we do that in our spiritual

750
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:25,720
lives. 
Yeah, I know Jesus. 

751
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:27,640
I'm, I'm good. 
I've been baptized. 

752
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:29,640
I'm good. 
Like, I don't, I don't need to 

753
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,640
pursue this thing further. 
It's what we warn confirmation 

754
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,280
students of, isn't it? 
Like, hey, you've, you've 

755
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,480
learned a lot. 
You you shouldn't have a, a good

756
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:42,600
understanding of what the gospel
is now and how many of them are 

757
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,720
like, yeah, I'm good, I'm good. 
I can just yeah, I'm fine. 

758
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,480
And and we don't push, we don't 
pursue. 

759
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:51,840
We don't. 
We don't, man, I said a couple 

760
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:53,960
weeks ago. 
We have a very big God, but we 

761
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:57,920
ask very small things of him. 
And that's our mistake because 

762
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:01,720
he wants to do incredible, 
amazing things in and through us

763
00:41:01,720 --> 00:41:03,800
and in our lives and in the 
lives of the people that we care

764
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:05,840
about. 
But no, I'm good. 

765
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,440
I'm glad. 
I'm glad that landed for you. 

766
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:12,320
I thought it might have been a, 
an old reference or a weird 

767
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:16,680
reference, but yeah, that wasn't
the point of that game. 

768
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:21,440
The point of this Christian life
is the point of that game is the

769
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:25,480
$1,000,000 prize, right? 
Is, is, is the work done, the 

770
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:29,640
harvest fulfilled that that part
of it, not these sort of safe 

771
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:34,120
spots where we could just bank 
this and turn around and go home

772
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,040
for the day, right? 
So I'm glad, I'm glad that 

773
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:38,880
landed. 
I thought it was so powerful. 

774
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:44,040
Yeah, I really did good. 
Yeah, so upon before before we 

775
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:48,440
get to that, just recapping the 
response from the leaders and 

776
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:51,600
the and the Sadducees here in 
response to all this, Peter 

777
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:55,160
making a call to repentance, the
crowd's reaction to their 

778
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:57,560
miraculous healing of this 
beggar. 

779
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,080
Chapter 1. 
Chapter 4, Verse one. 

780
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:03,200
As they were speaking to the 
people, the priest and the 

781
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:05,960
captain of the temple and the 
Sadducees came upon them greatly

782
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:08,320
annoyed because they were 
teaching the people and 

783
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:10,520
proclaiming in Jesus the 
resurrection from the dead. 

784
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:12,880
And they arrested them and put 
them in custody until the next 

785
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:16,160
day, for it was already evening.
But many of those who had heard 

786
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:18,280
the word believed, and the 
number of the men came to about 

787
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:20,960
5000. 
Oh my goodness. 

788
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:25,640
Yeah, to be greatly annoyed, 
that Greek word, it's it's 

789
00:42:25,720 --> 00:42:32,080
burdened as of somebody has 
greatly disturbed you, burdened 

790
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:34,760
to the point that you feel 
greatly disturbed. 

791
00:42:35,240 --> 00:42:38,320
You know, I don't know, I when 
I'm hangry, I get greatly 

792
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:42,920
disturbed at stupid things. 
But when I'm my normal self, it 

793
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:46,520
probably takes a lot to like 
actually disturb me, like down 

794
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:49,640
to my core. 
And that's what happens. 

795
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:53,120
They see this guy rejoicing the 
name of God, which you would 

796
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:56,080
think, man, where can I get some
of that? 

797
00:42:56,480 --> 00:43:01,920
And instead it greatly disturbs 
them, like down to their bones. 

798
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:06,560
They cannot handle this. 
It just it rubs them raw and 

799
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:09,480
they hate it. 
And it's like, how can you hate?

800
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:13,640
How can you be deeply disturbed 
that this man, man who couldn't 

801
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:18,000
walk, is now jumping up and down
and rejoicing and praising to 

802
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:21,760
God that you proclaim to love? 
How can you be disturbed by 

803
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:23,280
that? 
It's madness. 

804
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:27,640
It it is madness and that yeah, 
Peter and John, these guys are 

805
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:31,560
really making the healing 
beggars and stuff. 

806
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:34,000
How dare, right? 
Yeah, like, oh, come on, man. 

807
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:40,120
It's yeah, I I love that moment 
that greatly annoyed. 

808
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:44,920
I think that's that that speaks 
directly to the heart position 

809
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:48,200
because that's the thing, like, 
OK, when when somebody's annoyed

810
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:52,600
or upset, is it about what's 
happening around them or is it 

811
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:55,720
about the position of their 
heart and how they're reacting? 

812
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:58,360
We hear that all the time in 
like popular psychology or 

813
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:01,760
whatever, Like, hey, it's not 
about what they've done, It's 

814
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:05,240
about your reaction, right? 
Because your reaction says 

815
00:44:05,240 --> 00:44:08,400
something about your heart 
position, your thought process, 

816
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:13,560
it has far less usually to do 
with the thing itself, and 

817
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:17,360
usually more to do with you. 
Yeah, and it's the the reaction 

818
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:21,960
that we kind of enter into this 
courtroom scene now the the 

819
00:44:22,240 --> 00:44:27,680
elders are examining them and 
asking them more details about 

820
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:29,720
it. 
And verse 8 and chapter 4 says, 

821
00:44:29,720 --> 00:44:32,440
then Peter filled the Holy 
Spirit said to them, rulers of 

822
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:35,200
the people and elders, if we are
being examined today concerning 

823
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:38,920
a good deed done to a crippled 
man, by what means this man has 

824
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:40,560
been healed. 
Let it be known to all of you 

825
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:43,120
and to all the people of Israel 
that by the name of Jesus Christ

826
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:46,520
of Nazareth, whom you crucified,
whom God raised from the dead by

827
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:49,640
him, this man is standing before
you. 

828
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:53,600
Well, and this sets him off in 
another way. 

829
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,840
Peter's doubling down. 
This is what I said. 

830
00:44:57,040 --> 00:45:00,280
This is my story. 
I'm sticking to it and and you 

831
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:04,520
can't change my mind in this 
verse 13 when they saw the 

832
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:06,320
boldness of Peter and John and 
perceive that they were 

833
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:08,680
uneducated common men, they were
astonished. 

834
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:13,160
They recognized that they had 
been with Jesus and seeing the 

835
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:15,960
man who is healed standing 
beside them, they had nothing to

836
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:20,040
say in opposition. 
Their only chance at this point,

837
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:22,320
remember, they are greatly 
annoyed. 

838
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:27,040
They I, I, I feel like at this 
point they almost wish that 

839
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:30,920
Peter and John were just 
claiming to be some sorcerer 

840
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:35,760
magicians who want to say, Yep, 
no, you know what I did that I 

841
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:38,280
healed this man. 
I think, I think the church 

842
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:42,800
leaders would have more readily 
accepted that at this point. 

843
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:44,760
Right. 
Like that's what they wanted to 

844
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:47,240
hear more so than Nope. 
It was the power of God. 

845
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:51,080
It it was Jesus of Nazareth whom
we proclaim doing this. 

846
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:56,600
And that's just crazy to me that
they would have wanted Peter and

847
00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:59,280
John to. 
I feel like that would have been

848
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:02,640
more of a threat if there were 
these two crazy healer magician 

849
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:03,760
guys going around. 
Why? 

850
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:07,280
Why would you want that? 
And they charge the verse 18. 

851
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:09,600
They call them and charge them 
not to speak or teach at all in 

852
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:12,320
the name of Jesus. 
And Peter and John are just 

853
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:17,760
like, Nope, pass, but not going 
to keep proclaiming the name of 

854
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:22,240
Jesus actually. 
So that gets us to the point of 

855
00:46:22,240 --> 00:46:25,440
this prayer for boldness. 
They were released. 

856
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:29,960
They kind of recounted what 
happened to to their close 

857
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:33,160
friends, those in the church 
close to them. 

858
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:36,000
And this and this prayer for 
boldness that we talked about in

859
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:42,840
verses 23 through 31 comes up. 
So just a wild kind of sequence,

860
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:45,760
Peter and John remaining 
faithful and obedient to what 

861
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:49,720
was tasked with them, filled 
with the Holy Spirit and, and 

862
00:46:49,720 --> 00:46:52,520
acting that out. 
They, they did the preparatory 

863
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:55,080
work beforehand. 
They received the gift of the 

864
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:57,680
Holy Spirit. 
And once they had that gift, 

865
00:46:57,720 --> 00:47:00,080
they, they didn't waste it, 
right? 

866
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:02,400
They didn't. 
They didn't let it, just they 

867
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:05,640
didn't squander it. 
Yeah, one of the things that we 

868
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:09,040
see sometimes that's really 
helpful is to read what's not 

869
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,560
being said. 
So and I you, you brought that 

870
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:14,760
up on Sunday a little bit to the
extent like, what are they not 

871
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:16,480
praying for? 
Oh, they're not praying for 

872
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:18,960
safety. 
They're not praying for Lord. 

873
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:22,640
Can you make sure that they 
don't throw us in jail again? 

874
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:26,560
No, they're like, give me more 
of what you already gave me so 

875
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:29,680
we can keep pushing hard. 
And I think that's an amazing 

876
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:32,520
thing. 
And and it's true like you, you 

877
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:35,560
said it so well on Sunday, I 
would have to listen to it 

878
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:37,160
again. 
But you brought up the Lord's 

879
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:39,280
Prayer. 
Like that first part of Lord's 

880
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:43,160
Prayer has nothing to do with my
physical needs. 

881
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:46,400
And that's how we start. 
And ultimately that's how we 

882
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:49,560
finish. 
Like man, it is really about the

883
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:53,440
power of God, and if I'm 
trusting and believing in that, 

884
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:56,920
then I can trust and believe 
that even when things get 

885
00:47:56,920 --> 00:48:00,520
difficult, even when I feel like
resources are short, God knows. 

886
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:04,520
He knows that like, so it's not 
bad to ask for safety and 

887
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:05,960
resources and the things we 
need. 

888
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:10,000
But like ultimately, like if our
heart is fixed on God's will and

889
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:13,440
our heart is fixed on his power 
and his agenda, the other things

890
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:14,880
are going to be taken care of, 
right? 

891
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:19,200
Seek his Kingdom 1st and all of 
these things will be added to 

892
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:21,600
you. 
And so I mean, that's dude, 

893
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:24,040
that's just solid advice. 
Seek his Kingdom 1st. 

894
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:27,480
And Jesus isn't joking. 
He's not messing around. 

895
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:30,160
Like, just do that and let me 
handle the rest. 

896
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:32,880
I'll handle the little details 
and I'll also handle the big 

897
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:35,600
ones. 
But I want you to want the big 

898
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:38,720
things. 
I there was a phrase from I 

899
00:48:38,720 --> 00:48:40,960
can't remember what podcast it 
was this last week that I was 

900
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:46,120
listening to, but this guy said,
he said, show me, tell me about 

901
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:48,040
your cares. 
Show me where your cares are and

902
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:53,400
that's where your Christ is. 
And are we wrapped up in the 

903
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,560
things that we need in the 
things that we're short on, in 

904
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:57,720
the things that we're worried 
about? 

905
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:03,680
If we were more fixated on the 
goodness of God, the greatness 

906
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:08,480
of God, his Kingdom, would those
would our cares with those 

907
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:11,880
secondary things, would we be as
worried about them? 

908
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:15,920
Would we be as focused on them 
or distraught about them if we 

909
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:22,360
just focused on Father? 
Holy is your name, your Kingdom 

910
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:25,160
come, your will be done. 
Like those sort of things. 

911
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:31,200
Maybe our needs, maybe our 
worries would pale in 

912
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:33,960
comparison, right? 
I think that's the model that we

913
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:35,960
see here. 
Well, cause in Paul, Paul's 

914
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:38,960
going to get into that, you 
know, you know, the, the, the 

915
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:41,760
troubles and the worries and the
hardship and the torture I've 

916
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:45,800
endured here, they're nothing 
compared to the glory of God. 

917
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:50,480
They're nothing like it doesn't,
it doesn't even, it's, it's not 

918
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:54,600
even a wind that moves my hair. 
It's nothing to me like, and I 

919
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:58,000
just, you know, I think that 
that kind of mind state though, 

920
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:01,280
that kind of frame of mind and 
way of thinking that like, yeah,

921
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:03,880
you, you really can't do 
anything to me that's going to 

922
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:06,560
shake me because I'm so Kingdom 
minded. 

923
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:09,320
That is hard for people to 
engage with. 

924
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:11,880
We don't know. 
We don't know how to react to a 

925
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,920
person like that, because I've 
met people like that and I'm 

926
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:17,240
like, I don't, I don't know what
to do with you. 

927
00:50:17,240 --> 00:50:19,560
I, I feel, I feel like you're 
so, you know, I've heard this 

928
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:22,240
before, but you're so heavenly 
minded. 

929
00:50:22,240 --> 00:50:24,080
What good are you on earth, 
right? 

930
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:28,240
We say that or we think that 
subtly, and it's like, but if we

931
00:50:28,240 --> 00:50:32,240
were all more focused that way, 
imagine what we could get done. 

932
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:36,240
Yeah, yeah, absolutely. 
And I'm not, I don't think we're

933
00:50:36,240 --> 00:50:39,720
trying to say that it's just a a
switch you can flip. 

934
00:50:39,720 --> 00:50:43,800
That's I mean it is in in in 
some ways, but it's also day at 

935
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:45,720
a time. 
It's what I was, it's what I was

936
00:50:45,720 --> 00:50:48,400
talking about towards the end of
the message too. 

937
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:53,000
If there's, there's habits, 
there's things that restructure 

938
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:56,880
the psychology of your brain, 
even even even the physical 

939
00:50:57,160 --> 00:50:59,800
nature of, of your brain and 
your attitudes. 

940
00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:05,800
When we, when we stay and dwell 
in these things in the word of 

941
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:09,800
God and in a prayer life even, 
or an attitude towards God, that

942
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:14,680
is him first, not me first. 
That's going to that's going to 

943
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:17,800
reshape your thinking and you're
probably not going to feel it on

944
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:19,360
the first day. 
You're probably not going to 

945
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:21,360
feel it on even the second or 
third day. 

946
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:27,600
But after a week, after a month 
of, of recalibrating that way, I

947
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:29,520
think it's just a, a snowball 
effect. 

948
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:33,120
That's that's just all of a 
sudden this is your attitude 

949
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:36,560
towards God. 
You are much more focused on his

950
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:43,640
things, not your things. 
And along the way, he's probably

951
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:46,720
taking care of your taking care 
of your things a lot better than

952
00:51:46,720 --> 00:51:48,480
you were anyway. 
Right. 

953
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:51,480
Like ironically, no. 
Yeah. 

954
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:54,920
So we just get we get caught up 
in our in our selfishness in 

955
00:51:54,920 --> 00:52:01,440
ourselves and that anything else
from you kind of in response or 

956
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:05,920
recap or questions you want to. 
No, I just, I do think like it. 

957
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:10,160
It's a moment of like light 
hearted truth of like, I really 

958
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:13,640
want to be annoying for Jesus. 
That would be fun, right? 

959
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:15,200
I really want to be annoying for
Jesus. 

960
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:17,600
That's a light hearted way to 
say that. 

961
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:19,640
But like, man, there's a lot of 
truth to that. 

962
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:23,680
Like, I don't know, we probably 
even as Christians, we've 

963
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:27,320
probably met the like, what we 
think is, Oh my gosh, they're 

964
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:30,200
way over the top. 
You know, all they talk about is

965
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:32,000
faith. 
All they talk about is Jesus, 

966
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:36,480
Jesus, Jesus, you know, and it's
like some of us again, even as 

967
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:40,040
Christians, we're like, man, I, 
I don't know if I that's too 

968
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:41,360
much. 
I don't know if I have the 

969
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:46,000
energy for that guy today. 
And it's like, but why wouldn't 

970
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:50,200
I want to be that guy? 
Because that guy, he is on fire.

971
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:53,800
And guess what? 
He doesn't care about what you 

972
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:54,240
think. 
What? 

973
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:57,440
You think about. 
Like that man is living in real 

974
00:52:57,440 --> 00:53:00,800
gospel freedom. 
And again, to the extent that 

975
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:04,120
you could have nearly an entire 
community of people like that 

976
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:10,000
all of a sudden, like we just 
don't consider the little daily 

977
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:13,000
things all that meaningful. 
Whether it's the stuff I own 

978
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:15,400
going back to chapter 2, like, 
yeah, I don't care. 

979
00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:18,280
I can sell half a field. 
And now five people are taking 

980
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:21,440
care of like, I don't need that.
Like God's going to provide for 

981
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:24,040
me anyway. 
And so everything going back to 

982
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:27,440
cross, everything going back to 
grace, everything going back to 

983
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:31,000
the gospel all of a sudden, if 
if that's really where we can 

984
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:33,000
stay. 
And I think it's possible 

985
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:36,240
because, again, I've met very 
flawed humans who are like that.

986
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:40,520
And it's like, OK, there's a 
real shot at this. 

987
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:43,880
Just like there's a real shot at
creating that Acts Chapter 2 

988
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:46,480
church. 
We got a real chance at this if 

989
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:49,920
we really embrace the gospel 
message and we really live that 

990
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:52,520
out in freedom. 
That's powerful. 

991
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:56,440
It's cool. 
Well, friends, thanks for 

992
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:59,200
hanging with us and taking in 
some more conversation. 

993
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:01,880
And well, I don't know what that
was at the beginning of the 

994
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:03,440
show, but I have. 
Hopefully. 

995
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:05,920
I'm sorry to everybody who has a
Southern accent. 

996
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:08,000
I love you guys. 
I love you guys. 

997
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:12,160
You're the best. 
Hopefully you stuck with us to 

998
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:17,360
this point to to hear that. 
And yeah, so we'll be back next 

999
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:19,560
week. 
I think you're getting into our 

1000
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:22,920
first important person. 
Do you have impactful person? 

1001
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:27,520
How did you label I can't I 
can't think of your you outlined

1002
00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:30,720
the whole pivotal person. 
That's what you use. 

1003
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:34,120
I like the alliteration there 
the first pivotal person in in 

1004
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:35,840
the story of Acts. 
We might be getting into some 

1005
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:40,480
Steven next week and it's going 
to how the Lord worked through 

1006
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:42,160
him well. 
Because you know, up to this 

1007
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:45,120
point, it's all been fun and 
games and healing and oh, look 

1008
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:47,040
at this. 
And, and now it's about to get 

1009
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:49,360
really real in a, in a very 
difficult way. 

1010
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:51,480
So kind of looking forward to 
that. 

1011
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:55,120
Yeah, continuing on in Acts and 
multiplying Church. 

1012
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:56,800
Thanks for hanging with us for a
bit. 

1013
00:54:56,960 --> 00:54:57,840
Hope you have a blessed week.
