1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,200
In this video, you will meet 
people creatures that helped 

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:08,000
people in the Bible. 
Now, one of these animals is 

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,300
actually dead and before I 
reveal, which of these animals 

4
00:00:11,300 --> 00:00:13,500
was dead and helped another 
human being. 

5
00:00:13,500 --> 00:00:17,500
Can you guess which creature you
think it is number five, 

6
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:21,800
balaam's donkey. 
Balaam was a greedy sorcerer who

7
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,000
really messed up and one day, 
there was a king called King 

8
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,200
balak and Ballack was quite 
jealous. 

9
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,900
He was quite annoyed at the 
people of Israel because they 

10
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,000
were taking over his moabite 
territory. 

11
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,200
So we said to Balaam, I'm going 
to hire you to curse the people 

12
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,800
of Israel but Balaam replied. 
Well really I have no power, no 

13
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,100
strength in and of myself to be 
able to curse the people of 

14
00:00:44,100 --> 00:00:46,400
Israel. 
I need to go to the Lord first 

15
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,000
so he took his request before 
the Lord God. 

16
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,300
And what did God say, you shall 
not curse this people for? 

17
00:00:53,300 --> 00:00:58,200
They are blessed, but king balak
would not take no for an answer 

18
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,500
and he really did raise Steaks. 
He put all of his money on the 

19
00:01:01,500 --> 00:01:05,200
table and said, come on name it.
What you want, whatever you 

20
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,800
want. 
I will give it to you and I will

21
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,200
reward you handsomely for you to
curse the people of Israel. 

22
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,900
So Balaam said, okay. 
Just once more I'll go before 

23
00:01:13,900 --> 00:01:16,100
the Lord, and ask him and the 
Lord's. 

24
00:01:16,100 --> 00:01:20,300
Perhaps because he was pestered,
so much said, go go with this 

25
00:01:20,300 --> 00:01:22,800
evil people, so Balaam wasted, 
no time. 

26
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,300
He saddled his donkey and he 
started to make the journey with

27
00:01:26,300 --> 00:01:30,300
King balak servants, ready to do
harm to the people of All but 

28
00:01:30,300 --> 00:01:35,200
God was greatly angered and sent
an angel of the Lord right into 

29
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,400
the middle of the road. 
This is where it gets very 

30
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,300
interesting Balaam. 
Could not see this angel in 

31
00:01:40,300 --> 00:01:43,800
front of him, but his donkey 
could see, what was going on in 

32
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,700
the Unseen World. 
I wonder, I wonder how many 

33
00:01:46,700 --> 00:01:50,500
animals see things that we as 
humans, do not see and this 

34
00:01:50,500 --> 00:01:54,400
donkey it was a faithful donkey.
He tried to protect Balaam, so 

35
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,300
we steered Balaam into a field 
but Balaam got very angry and 

36
00:01:58,300 --> 00:02:02,900
beat his donkey and And the Lord
opened the poor donkeys mouth, 

37
00:02:02,900 --> 00:02:06,400
and he cried out. 
Why are you beating me have I 

38
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,400
ever made a mess before? 
I've always tried to be a good 

39
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,100
donkey, I've been faithful to 
you. 

40
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,100
And then suddenly the Lord 
opened balaam's eyes, and he saw

41
00:02:15,100 --> 00:02:18,900
right in front of him, that 
angel of the Lord ready to slay 

42
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,900
the wicked profit. 
I believe, this is one of the 

43
00:02:21,900 --> 00:02:26,000
most humbling stories in all of 
the Bible because it proves this

44
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,800
scripture, God has chosen the 
foolish things of the world. 

45
00:02:29,900 --> 00:02:33,700
World to put to shame the wise 
and God has chosen the weak 

46
00:02:33,700 --> 00:02:37,700
things of the world to shame the
things which are strong about 

47
00:02:37,700 --> 00:02:40,900
four years ago. 
I thought my Ministry was over 

48
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,200
one morning. 
I woke up and I could not walk. 

49
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,900
I could put no pressure on my 
leg because I felt this 

50
00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:50,600
excruciating pain from my hip 
right down to my ankle. 

51
00:02:50,700 --> 00:02:53,900
And that day, I was supposed to 
preach in a church. 

52
00:02:53,900 --> 00:02:56,900
I can still remember the phone 
call with my pastor, where I was

53
00:02:56,900 --> 00:03:00,300
crying my eyes out to him and I 
said, please would you Cancel 

54
00:03:00,300 --> 00:03:03,300
the preaching engagement for me 
because I'm too embarrassed to 

55
00:03:03,300 --> 00:03:07,300
ring this church and graciously.
He took care of the situation. 

56
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,000
Anyway, a few weeks went by and 
I still was struggling to walk, 

57
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,300
but I could manage a few steps 
and so I went to a Minister's 

58
00:03:14,300 --> 00:03:16,800
conference. 
And there I met the most 

59
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,200
incredible man who have never 
seen since, but I believe the 

60
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,400
Lord puts him there that day to 
help encourage me when I was in 

61
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,400
one of the weakest times of my 
life. 

62
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,100
So, bearing in mind, I'd now 
convinced myself. 

63
00:03:28,100 --> 00:03:30,400
That, that was it. 
My Ministry was Is over. 

64
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,500
How can I stand on a step ladder
and preach if I couldn't stand 

65
00:03:33,500 --> 00:03:36,300
for a few minutes without 
feeling pain, how can I preach 

66
00:03:36,300 --> 00:03:39,300
In a Pulpit if I couldn't walk 
more than a few steps? 

67
00:03:39,300 --> 00:03:41,800
And as all of these thoughts are
rushing through my mind. 

68
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,300
A man during the coffee break 
turns to me and says, excuse me,

69
00:03:45,700 --> 00:03:48,300
would you mind opening this 
packets of sugar for me? 

70
00:03:48,300 --> 00:03:52,000
And at first I thought it is he 
joking which grown man, can't 

71
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:57,100
open a packet of sugar and then 
I looked and I saw his hands. 

72
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,600
They were twisted and his legs 
were to Abled and he really was 

73
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,400
struggling to do this, very 
simple task. 

74
00:04:04,500 --> 00:04:07,600
And so there I struck up a 
conversation with one of the 

75
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,100
nicest loveliest strangers I 
have ever met. 

76
00:04:11,100 --> 00:04:14,700
And I poured out my heart to him
and told him all of my concerns 

77
00:04:14,900 --> 00:04:16,700
and he said, don't let that 
worry you. 

78
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,700
My church is quite happy to 
listen to me. 

79
00:04:18,700 --> 00:04:22,300
Preach sermons in a chair and as
I spoke to him more and more, I 

80
00:04:22,300 --> 00:04:25,400
saw the wisdom of the Lord, 
pouring out from this man. 

81
00:04:25,500 --> 00:04:27,600
That night. 
When I went home, I spoke to 

82
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,200
Emma. 
And I said, you know where my it

83
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:33,600
was just so So Beautiful to see 
how the Lord was using this man 

84
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,300
who the rest of the world would 
push aside the rest of the world

85
00:04:36,300 --> 00:04:38,300
would say. 
No, he's a nobody and yet the 

86
00:04:38,300 --> 00:04:42,900
Lord God was using that man 
mightily to speak the Oracles of

87
00:04:42,900 --> 00:04:45,900
God. 
So never ever ever believe the 

88
00:04:45,900 --> 00:04:49,300
lie of the devil but I'm too 
weak to be used by God. 

89
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,000
I'm too ugly to be used by God, 
I'm too stupid. 

90
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,800
How could God use me? 
Because in fact, in God's 

91
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,800
kingdom is often the opposite 
way around. 

92
00:04:57,900 --> 00:05:02,000
God uses weak role. 
Sinful men and women so that all

93
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,100
the glory goes back to him, 
sorry to State the obvious but 

94
00:05:05,100 --> 00:05:07,900
balaam's donkey was quite 
clearly alive. 

95
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,300
So what do you think? 
Is the dead animal in the Bible 

96
00:05:11,300 --> 00:05:13,500
that was used to help another 
human being? 

97
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,900
Well, we're going to find out 
very shortly number for Elijah's

98
00:05:17,900 --> 00:05:20,100
Ravens. 
You might remember in our last 

99
00:05:20,100 --> 00:05:23,000
video, we talked about how 
Elijah was the man who stopped 

100
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,200
the rain. 
Well, this is exactly the same 

101
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:29,800
Miracle were talking about God 
was so angry at King. 

102
00:05:29,900 --> 00:05:33,300
Hap and his evil wife Jezebel, 
who is killing the prophets. 

103
00:05:33,300 --> 00:05:36,800
So, the Lord using Elijah 
stopped the rain and there was a

104
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,600
massive drought over the land, 
but the Lord wanted to protect 

105
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,400
his servant. 
So he commanded Elijah to go and

106
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:48,500
hide in a Ravine and there every
single day, the Lord sent Ravens

107
00:05:48,500 --> 00:05:52,200
from Heaven who brought bread 
and meat in the morning and in 

108
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,700
the night. 
So that the Prophet Elijah never

109
00:05:54,700 --> 00:05:57,600
lacked food. 
And he also drank from the water

110
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,200
of the brook that ran through 
the Why do I tell you that 

111
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,700
story? 
I tell it you for one reason and

112
00:06:03,700 --> 00:06:06,000
one reason alone, I need to 
remind you. 

113
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,300
That one of the names of the 
Lord God is Jehovah Jireh. 

114
00:06:10,300 --> 00:06:13,700
The Lord will provide. 
And I think most of us watching 

115
00:06:13,700 --> 00:06:16,900
this video right now, at some 
point in our lives have had 

116
00:06:16,900 --> 00:06:18,900
Financial worries, where we 
think? 

117
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,600
How will I survive? 
Perhaps there's someone watching

118
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,500
right now and you're really 
worried. 

119
00:06:23,500 --> 00:06:26,300
I don't know where the next meal
is going to come from. 

120
00:06:26,300 --> 00:06:29,700
Well, I believe I'm here today 
to remind you that Jesus Christ.

121
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,700
Christ himself said the father 
feeds the very birds of the air 

122
00:06:33,700 --> 00:06:36,800
Li not feed you also. 
And sometimes God feeds the 

123
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,000
birds of the air. 
But also sometimes God uses the 

124
00:06:40,008 --> 00:06:44,000
birds of the air to feed you and
I'm not talking about KFC 

125
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,400
chicken, right now. 
When Elijah obediently went into

126
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,800
the Wilderness, he had no backup
plan. 

127
00:06:49,900 --> 00:06:52,400
It had no energy bars stuffed 
underneath his cloak. 

128
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,300
He was no Burger van around the 
corner. 

129
00:06:54,300 --> 00:06:58,200
No, he had to totally rely on 
the Lord, God and have faith, 

130
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,200
that God would turn on. 
Did the Lord fail him? 

131
00:07:01,700 --> 00:07:04,000
No and neither will the Lord 
fail. 

132
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,600
You the Bible says he will 
supply. 

133
00:07:06,700 --> 00:07:10,500
Our every need, not every 
craving, not everyone's but our 

134
00:07:10,500 --> 00:07:13,300
every need and sometimes God 
with holds things from us 

135
00:07:13,300 --> 00:07:16,100
because he knows at the moment, 
this isn't good for me to have 

136
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,500
but he will always supply for 
us. 

137
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,900
People often ask me why is it 
you don't put adverts in front 

138
00:07:21,900 --> 00:07:24,700
of your YouTube videos? 
Why do you not monetize your 

139
00:07:24,700 --> 00:07:27,200
channel? 
One of the reasons is this, I 

140
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,700
believe that I've been called to
live by faith. 

141
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,500
Faith, not saying that's for 
everyone, but for me personally,

142
00:07:32,500 --> 00:07:35,500
that means I don't sell merch. 
I don't put adverts in front of 

143
00:07:35,500 --> 00:07:37,700
my channel. 
I have no set salary because I 

144
00:07:37,700 --> 00:07:41,800
believe if the Lord really wants
me a Ministry then he will 

145
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,300
provide and I don't want to be 
in a place where the Lord 

146
00:07:44,300 --> 00:07:46,400
doesn't want me. 
So, the evidence that the Lord 

147
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,700
wants me to stay in Ministry, is
that he will keep on providing 

148
00:07:49,700 --> 00:07:51,500
for me. 
But I know what you're thinking,

149
00:07:51,500 --> 00:07:54,000
you're thinking, when it's very 
easy for you to say that Joe, 

150
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,200
you've got seven hundred 
thousand subscribers. 

151
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,300
Have course, people will fund 
your ministry. 

152
00:07:58,300 --> 00:07:59,700
Well, let me tell you something 
else. 

153
00:08:00,100 --> 00:08:03,400
When I didn't even have 10 
subscribers to my name, the Lord

154
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,700
still provided and sometimes it 
was in very Supernatural ways 

155
00:08:07,700 --> 00:08:12,700
because as Hagar said you are 
the God who sees me and the 

156
00:08:12,700 --> 00:08:16,000
whole world might not see you to
the rest of the world. 

157
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,900
You might be a nobody it might 
be as if you don't even exist 

158
00:08:18,900 --> 00:08:23,400
but I want to tell you right now
the Lord God sees you he loves 

159
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,000
you and he will provide for his 
children. 

160
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,100
Hey now, have you got any ideas 
of what you think this dead 

161
00:08:29,100 --> 00:08:31,600
animal? 
Could be well, before I reveal 

162
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,299
the answer. 
He is number three, Peter's 

163
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,200
fish. 
You know, the story. 

164
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:40,100
Well, Peter and the disciples 
have gone out fishing and they 

165
00:08:40,100 --> 00:08:43,700
have caught, absolutely nothing 
all night. 

166
00:08:43,700 --> 00:08:46,600
And they see in the distance. 
There's a man on the shore and 

167
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,000
he calls out to them. 
Have you caught anything yet 

168
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,700
Lads and the disciples reply? 
No, so this man who at the 

169
00:08:52,708 --> 00:08:55,600
moment they think is a total 
stranger says, why don't you put

170
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,300
your net on the right side of 
the boat and so Peter and the 

171
00:08:59,300 --> 00:09:00,300
disciples. 
Those things. 

172
00:09:00,300 --> 00:09:02,000
Well, we might as well give it a
try. 

173
00:09:02,100 --> 00:09:05,400
So they put it on the right side
of the boat and suddenly they 

174
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,900
get the biggest haul. 
The biggest amount of fish they 

175
00:09:08,900 --> 00:09:12,700
have ever caught in all of their
life and when they see this huge

176
00:09:12,700 --> 00:09:15,900
catch suddenly it clicks. 
Who is that, man? 

177
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,600
It is the Lord. 
Okay, watch this Jesus is about 

178
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,100
to ascend back to Heaven. 
Jesus has just risen from the 

179
00:09:23,100 --> 00:09:26,400
dead, and this is one of the 
last times he will ever appear 

180
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,400
before the disciples. 
So, why did he choose this 

181
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,700
particular? 
Ticular Miracle to show the 

182
00:09:31,700 --> 00:09:34,700
disciples his power. 
I'll tell you why, because it 

183
00:09:34,700 --> 00:09:38,800
was a sign of what Jesus was 
about to do through Peter. 

184
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:43,200
Peter has never seen a bigger 
catch of fish in all of his life

185
00:09:43,300 --> 00:09:45,000
but do you remember what Jesus 
Christ? 

186
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:49,100
Once said to Peter, follow me 
and I will make you a fisher of 

187
00:09:49,100 --> 00:09:51,500
men. 
You see Pizza as just caught all

188
00:09:51,500 --> 00:09:55,300
of these fish, but Lord, Jesus 
Christ as lined up and even 

189
00:09:55,300 --> 00:09:57,500
bigger. 
Catch for Peter in a couple of 

190
00:09:57,500 --> 00:09:59,700
days time and around two weeks 
later. 

191
00:09:59,900 --> 00:10:03,100
Pete that would stand up on the 
day of Pentecost. 

192
00:10:03,100 --> 00:10:06,500
And what does the scripture say?
And that day about three 

193
00:10:06,500 --> 00:10:08,500
thousand Souls were added to 
them. 

194
00:10:08,500 --> 00:10:12,600
If Jesus had told Peter that 
day, you will be used by God to 

195
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,600
bring in three thousand Souls 
into the kingdom. 

196
00:10:15,700 --> 00:10:18,700
I'm going to use you to preach 
the most powerful sermon that 

197
00:10:18,708 --> 00:10:21,000
will bring one of the biggest 
catches in history. 

198
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,300
Peter would have said, no, Lord.
You can't use me. 

199
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:25,900
I've just denied you three 
times. 

200
00:10:25,900 --> 00:10:29,700
How can you use a sinful man? 
Like me, but Jesus was showing 

201
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,300
Showing Peter when he brought in
this huge net of fish, I'm not 

202
00:10:33,300 --> 00:10:36,800
finished with you yet, and I'm 
still going to use you though. 

203
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,000
You failed, though you've messed
up. 

204
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,600
I am the god who uses Sinners 
for my own Glory. 

205
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,300
Okay, number two. 
Are you ready for the dead 

206
00:10:45,300 --> 00:10:47,000
animal? 
That helped a person in the 

207
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:51,400
Bible or that dead animal is 
Samson's lion carcass? 

208
00:10:51,500 --> 00:10:54,400
Samson was the strongest man in 
all of the Bible. 

209
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,500
Physically, he was also probably
one of the weakest spiritually 

210
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,400
and Samson's job. 
Is to protect the people of 

211
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:05,300
Israel from this wicked enemy. 
The Philistines but Samson had 

212
00:11:05,300 --> 00:11:08,000
no interest in protecting his 
own people. 

213
00:11:08,100 --> 00:11:11,600
In fact, he'd rather spend time 
with the Philistines and date 

214
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,500
their women. 
So the Lord took the initiative 

215
00:11:14,500 --> 00:11:18,100
and he sent, he engineered a 
sort of situation that would 

216
00:11:18,100 --> 00:11:21,700
force Samson into a rivalry with
this evil people. 

217
00:11:21,700 --> 00:11:25,200
One day Sampson is walking down 
the road to the people of 

218
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,500
philistine. 
He wants to meet an unbelieving 

219
00:11:27,500 --> 00:11:29,600
woman and there in front of him 
the Lord. 

220
00:11:29,700 --> 00:11:33,800
Has sent a lion a ferocious 
line, which attacks Sampson. 

221
00:11:33,900 --> 00:11:35,400
Now, because Sampson was so 
strong. 

222
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:39,200
He tore the line into pieces and
left the deadline on the side of

223
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,200
the road and thought nothing of 
it. 

224
00:11:41,300 --> 00:11:44,600
Anyway, a couple of weeks went 
by and Samson again is walking 

225
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,700
down the same road to meet this 
On Believing woman and then 

226
00:11:47,700 --> 00:11:51,300
something catches his eye there 
in front of him is that dead 

227
00:11:51,300 --> 00:11:54,600
lion that he killed the other 
day and suddenly, he notices. 

228
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,500
Something else about this dead 
lions carcass inside the Lions 

229
00:11:58,500 --> 00:12:04,000
body is a With bees and the bees
have produced the most sweet 

230
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,600
delicious honey. 
And this gives Samson, an idea 

231
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,100
for a riddle, the riddle goes 
like this. 

232
00:12:10,100 --> 00:12:13,600
Out of the eater. 
Came something to eat out of the

233
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,600
strong came something sweet. 
And if you know the story of 

234
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,600
Samson and the Philistines 
Samson use this riddle to mock 

235
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,000
them and it started a great 
battle which would ensure that 

236
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,500
God would get his glory. 
And God's people of Israel would

237
00:12:28,500 --> 00:12:31,900
be protected because Samson 
would use his strength to defeat

238
00:12:31,900 --> 00:12:35,400
an awful lot of Philistines. 
Now this is the bit that's going

239
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:39,000
to blow you away. 
When we look at Samson's life, 

240
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,900
when we see that death of the 
lion, we see there's a sweetness

241
00:12:42,900 --> 00:12:46,100
that comes from death and that 
reminds us that there's a 

242
00:12:46,100 --> 00:12:50,400
sweetness that came from the 
death of the Lord, Jesus Christ.

243
00:12:50,500 --> 00:12:52,500
Why do I say that? 
The Bible says, for the 

244
00:12:52,500 --> 00:12:56,400
Christian for the believer, The 
Sting of death has been removed 

245
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:57,800
death. 
Where is your sting? 

246
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,500
Because now we have put our 
trust in Risen, Lord. 

247
00:13:00,500 --> 00:13:03,500
Jesus Christ, we don't need to 
fear the grave anymore. 

248
00:13:03,500 --> 00:13:06,600
I remember once going to a 
Christian funeral and I went in 

249
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,400
a black suit with a black tie 
and I was kind of shocked 

250
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,500
because everyone in the 
congregation was wearing 

251
00:13:11,500 --> 00:13:14,500
different colored ties. 
In fact, the lady the Christian 

252
00:13:14,500 --> 00:13:17,400
lady's husband was wearing a 
pink tie and I said, if you 

253
00:13:17,408 --> 00:13:20,400
don't mind me asking, why am I, 
the only one in a black tie. 

254
00:13:20,500 --> 00:13:23,200
He said, because George is in 
heaven. 

255
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:24,700
We don't need to be sad about 
that. 

256
00:13:24,700 --> 00:13:28,000
She's with the Lord right now. 
This is a day of rejoicing and 

257
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,600
that really did wake me up. 
Because Jesus Christ himself 

258
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,900
said I am the resurrection and 
the life, he who believes in me,

259
00:13:36,100 --> 00:13:40,300
though, he may die. 
He shall live and any man, any 

260
00:13:40,300 --> 00:13:43,000
woman who has put their trust in
the Lord. 

261
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:47,300
Jesus Christ has a hope beyond 
the grave because Christ Jesus 

262
00:13:47,300 --> 00:13:49,900
conquered the grave. 
They put him on a cross. 

263
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,600
Everyone thought it was over 
everyone thought when he was 

264
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,600
dying there for the sins of the 
world, it was finished but 

265
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,900
Christ, proved them all wrong. 
And he conquered the grave and 

266
00:13:58,900 --> 00:14:03,100
showed them He was God and asked
in God In the Flesh and he is 

267
00:14:03,100 --> 00:14:07,700
the only man who can empty dead 
men and that woman's Graves. 

268
00:14:07,900 --> 00:14:11,300
And I've got to ask you, have 
you come to the Son of God, who 

269
00:14:11,300 --> 00:14:14,300
was nailed to a cross? 
Who died on that cross because 

270
00:14:14,300 --> 00:14:17,300
he loved you, taking the 
punishment for your sins. 

271
00:14:17,500 --> 00:14:21,200
Have you come to the Son of God,
who offers forgiveness of sins? 

272
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,700
Have you come to the Son of God?
Who is willing right now to give

273
00:14:24,700 --> 00:14:28,000
you a place in heaven and to 
beat your grave because when the

274
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,700
believer dies, it's not the end,
it's only the beginning. 

275
00:14:31,700 --> 00:14:34,000
But hey now you've probably 
guessed number one. 

276
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,600
What is this animal? 
Which has helped another person 

277
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,400
in the Bible will because I've 
run out of time, you'll have to
