him. 
His name is the Lord, and we

Break out across things. so, 
beyond the boundaries of his 

20
00:07:21,900 --> 00:07:25,800
It's never been in love, so 
great, he died. 

21
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:33,500
So we could be heroes name. 
Another king. 

22
00:08:31,300 --> 00:08:48,500
His name is Jesus light of the 
word freedom, in his name. 

23
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,200
I love that song that reminder 
that, you know, the savior's in 

24
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:15,900
the room, he's an incredible 
King who sacrifices for us, he's

25
00:10:15,900 --> 00:10:19,200
made a way for us. 
So no matter what we're facing, 

26
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,700
he gives us this living hope. 
So let's continue to worship Our

27
00:10:22,700 --> 00:10:34,600
God this morning. 
How great, the how high, the 

28
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:51,100
mountain I could not I turn to 
her and spoke your name into the

29
00:10:51,100 --> 00:11:00,500
night. and then through the 
darkness, your loving toward 

30
00:11:00,500 --> 00:11:20,500

Jesus Christ Milan, and you

00:11:20,500 --> 00:12:51,400
believe this 
Not seal the purse. 

32
00:12:53,400 --> 00:13:07,600
You're buried body began to 
declare. 

33
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:15,300
The grave has no clue that this 
morning sing it out to him. 

34
00:13:24,200 --> 00:15:01,100
Everybody. 
Just close. 

35
00:15:01,100 --> 00:15:04,400
Our eyes are focusing on. 
Jesus, says he the author and 

36
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,600
the finisher of our faith of the
chorus of the song says that he 

37
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:12,600
has broken Every Chain by his 
work on the cross, it's already 

38
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,000
finished. 
So, any prison cell that we're 

39
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,200
still sitting in any chain that 
still together? 

40
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:22,300
Because we chose to be in there 
today, but Jesus said, no my 

41
00:15:22,300 --> 00:15:24,300
work on the cross. 
It is finished, I broke. 

42
00:15:24,400 --> 00:16:47,100
Ditto. 
Let's give it up for Jesus this 

43
00:16:47,100 --> 00:16:50,800
morning. 
That's right, that's right, man.

following Gathering. 

80
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,000
We've got a small gift for you. 
We'd love to hear your story. 

81
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,000
Would love to share a little bit
about who we are and where we're

82
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,900
going and really that flows out 
again our mission. 

83
00:18:57,900 --> 00:19:01,200
Our mission is to love people. 
See people far from God discover

84
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,200
the real life of purpose in 
Jesus because we know people, 

85
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,000
here's the honest truth. 
Not everybody walks in here 

86
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,800
today on, and on a Sunday and 
Sunday by Sunday basis. 

87
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,400
In a good spot. 
People walk in here broken, 

88
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,600
they're hurting. 
They've lost a family member, 

89
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,400
they've lost a relationship. 
They've lost a job, and they're 

90
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,000
walking, and they're looking for
hope. 

91
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,300
We know that God's got something
for a minute. 

92
00:19:21,300 --> 00:19:23,700
There's prodigals constantly 
searching to come back home 

93
00:19:23,700 --> 00:19:26,300
because they don't have any 
place else to go in the church. 

94
00:19:26,300 --> 00:19:28,300
Should be the spot where they 
can come back into. 

95
00:19:28,700 --> 00:19:31,900
And we just love that we do that
here and we're really going to 

96
00:19:31,900 --> 00:19:33,300
encourage you through our next 
message. 

97
00:19:33,300 --> 00:19:37,400
Here is because too often Ian, 
we count the people that just 

98
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,500
show up on a Sunday and we love 
everybody shows up but we don't 

99
00:19:40,500 --> 00:19:42,400
count the empty seats. 
We don't count. 

100
00:19:42,500 --> 00:19:44,400
Who's not here. 
The opportunities that people 

101
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,100
are missing just to get 
connected with what? 

102
00:19:46,100 --> 00:19:49,100
God's God, because God is 
searching for that. 

103
00:19:49,100 --> 00:19:52,700
Prodigal guys going to cross 
every life he can and has to 

104
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,900
bring that person home. 
So, as Pastor Sean comes up 

105
00:19:55,900 --> 00:19:58,600
here, won't you guys gives it 
give him a big hand as we begin 

106
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,500

107
00:20:00,500 --> 00:20:06,400

Ha ha ha. 

108
00:20:07,300 --> 00:20:09,200
Oh man, I don't usually get to 
come up behind. 

109
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,600
Barry speaking. 
So I love you buddy. 

110
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,700
He's heading out. 
He's like see you later band. 

111
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:19,600
Get up for Barry by the way. 
I got this Motley Crew over 

112
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,300
here, have to just call it out 
over here. 

113
00:20:21,500 --> 00:20:24,100
So Randy, this is your idea of 
this shirt. 

114
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,900
Your idea, like, every great 
relationship. 

115
00:20:29,500 --> 00:20:31,800
That's right. 
I love it. 

116
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,300
It's so it's sure it says, 11:15
errs, because I'm totally late 

117
00:20:35,300 --> 00:20:37,900
every every second Gathering. 
And the back says, come on 

118
00:20:37,900 --> 00:20:40,600
somebody. 
So come on, give it up for these

119
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:45,700
guys, amazing. 
And it comes just for me and 

120
00:20:45,700 --> 00:20:47,200
they leave right after the 
message, you know? 

121
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:52,300
So it's exactly what it is. 
And yes, oh man, well, I got a 

122
00:20:52,308 --> 00:20:54,500
question for you guys. 
Have you ever wanted something 

123
00:20:54,500 --> 00:20:57,100
so bad? 
You stop at nothing to get it. 

124
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:58,900
Every one of those things in 
life. 

125
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,200
This is gonna sound really vain.
But when I was 14, I want 

126
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,500
nothing, but those Doc Martens 
shoes, you know? 

127
00:21:03,508 --> 00:21:06,300
I'm talking about over that in 
just a half thick sole, right? 

128
00:21:06,300 --> 00:21:08,000
And it take like a lifetime to 
wear through. 

129
00:21:08,300 --> 00:21:11,200
And at the time I was throwing 
newspapers for the Raytown 

130
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,200
Tribune is a very popular 
newspaper. 

131
00:21:17,300 --> 00:21:20,800
Yeah, Jerry knows, right. 
And so yeah here yeah, we go the

132
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,900
roots, go back, right? 
And so my mom and her father's 

133
00:21:24,900 --> 00:21:27,300
life, Well they're in this 
business forever so there's like

134
00:21:27,300 --> 00:21:29,900
a good newspaper job and so you 
basically through all these 

135
00:21:29,900 --> 00:21:32,500
papers couple thousand a week 
and just go around and go door 

136
00:21:32,500 --> 00:21:35,100
to door and beg for money for 
people to enroll the newspaper. 

137
00:21:35,100 --> 00:21:37,300
Begin with, right? 
And so I'm collecting quarters, 

138
00:21:37,300 --> 00:21:40,800
basically house to house. 
This is like, just called School

139
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,000
of Hard Knocks apparently. 
And so I clicked all those 

140
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:44,800
quarters thinking, man, I'm 
going to get these Doc Martens 

141
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,300
and just saved and saved. 
And my mom surprised me that 

142
00:21:47,300 --> 00:21:50,100
year with Doc Martens brand-new.
My only pair of Doc Martens for 

143
00:21:50,100 --> 00:21:52,600
Christmas. 
I'm Ruby about $125, which is a 

144
00:21:52,608 --> 00:21:54,800
ton of money, and I wore those 
shoes. 

145
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,000
I wish I Even today by one of 
those shoes all the way through 

146
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,600
the soul. 
That's how much I wore my Doc. 

147
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,100
Martens all through high school.
I was dying for those shoes and 

148
00:22:01,100 --> 00:22:02,600
I never took him off. 
You'll bury me in those shoes. 

149
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,400
Come on somebody, right? 
And some of you guys can relate 

150
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,000

So you guys are just man you 

151
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,100
kind of procrastinated for that 
test and exam. 

152
00:22:10,100 --> 00:22:13,700
You stayed up all night long and
that's what good or not, kind of

153
00:22:13,700 --> 00:22:15,700
counterintuitive. 
Some of you can relate to this 

154
00:22:15,700 --> 00:22:17,900
staple night to level up on the 
game, right?

To beat the video game or that 
level some, you guys stay up all

156

So paper, mache to yourself as 

179
00:23:17,500 --> 00:23:18,700

We do crazy stuff for kids, 

180
00:23:18,700 --> 00:23:20,700
right? 
And so they are really dive into

181
00:23:20,700 --> 00:23:22,600
what looks like to do something 
very unique. 

182
00:23:22,700 --> 00:23:25,600
A very special to God calls all 
of us to do this, but really, 

183
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,700
what is to stop at? 
Nothing to bring people to 

184
00:23:28,700 --> 00:23:31,100
Jesus? 
Well, looks like for us to be 

185
00:23:31,100 --> 00:23:33,600
all in for this thing called The
Gospel. 

186
00:23:33,900 --> 00:23:36,300
What is the live on mission to 
be ambassadors for Christ. 

187
00:23:36,300 --> 00:23:38,800
And so I'm just inviting you 
guys really praying that the 

188
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,600
spirit of God do in your life on
this broken hearts. 

189
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,900
Broken wheels for thanks of 
Christ and the Rally's. 

190
00:23:43,900 --> 00:23:47,100
This I'm not doing praying for a
move of God but I'm praying for 

191
00:23:47,108 --> 00:23:50,400
a move of God's people today 
would be on Mission. 

192
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,600
There's next three weeks that we
would be inviting me. 

193
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,400
Vesting that we had pour into 
our neighbors, our friends, and 

194
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,100
bring Jesus, to the courtyards 
and into the highways, and 

195
00:23:58,100 --> 00:24:01,500
hedges for say, for the cause of
Christ, and God is going to use 

196
00:24:01,500 --> 00:24:03,000
you. 
And so today, I want to 

197
00:24:03,008 --> 00:24:06,600
introduce a story. 
A really a powerful story found 

198
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,900
the Bible Jesus is talking to 
some Pharisees is actually a 

199
00:24:09,908 --> 00:24:12,200
dinner with them, which is going
to be important to understand. 

200
00:24:12,300 --> 00:24:14,800
And he's next to this prominent 
Pharisee, these religious 

201
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,500
leaders that being asking 
questions to him. 

202
00:24:16,500 --> 00:24:19,400
And he answers like this and is 
found in Luke chapter. 14, if 

203
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,800
you got your Bible, verse 15 
says, this one of those The 

204
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,100
table with him, heard this, he 
said that Jesus, blesses, the 

205
00:24:26,100 --> 00:24:28,700
one who will eat at the Feast of
the kingdom of God. 

206
00:24:28,700 --> 00:24:31,800
To be a blessing to be with God,
in heaven and Jesus replies and 

207
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,900
he says something that's, that's
pretty profound. 

208
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,500
It's probably off what they 
thought. 

209
00:24:36,500 --> 00:24:38,800
The response would be. 
He's Jesus parable, the great 

210
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,800
feast and so is this a certain 
man? 

211
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,600
Which is Jesus. 
This is a parable, so Jesus was 

212
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,800
prepared, great banquet and 
invited many a guest. 

213
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,400
At the time, the banquet, he 
sent his servants to tell those 

214
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:52,000
who have been invited should 
come for everything is now 

215
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,900
ready. 
When the plates are set out, the

216
00:24:53,900 --> 00:24:56,200
food is cooked man. 
Strike Up the Band. 

217
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:57,900
The ambience is there. 
The house is ready. 

218
00:24:57,900 --> 00:25:00,700
Everything is perfect. 
All were missing is those that 

219
00:25:00,700 --> 00:25:05,200
we sent invitations to, so bring
them in but Verse 18, but all 

220
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,100
all, but they all began to make 
excuses. 

221
00:25:08,100 --> 00:25:10,400
It's going to sound familiar. 
This is what Jesus heard. 

222
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,400
The first set, I have just 
bought a field. 

223
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,100
I must go and see it. 
I got some business to take care

224
00:25:15,100 --> 00:25:16,900
of. 
I can't make it to the Masters 

225
00:25:16,900 --> 00:25:19,000
banquet. 
I can't come to the banquet that

226
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,300
God prepared for me. 
I'm awful busy but please, 

227
00:25:21,300 --> 00:25:23,700
excuse me. 
No, That I just bought five yoke

228
00:25:23,700 --> 00:25:27,800
of oxen, my way to try them out.
I got a farm to take care of, I 

229
00:25:27,808 --> 00:25:30,800
guess that man was waiting for -
responsibilities back at home, 

230
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,900
so excuse me. 
Verse 20 is still another said I

231
00:25:33,900 --> 00:25:36,000
just got married so I can't come
now. 

232
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,700
I got family. 
Take care of my got spouse, I 

233
00:25:37,708 --> 00:25:40,900
guess, maybe kids on the way. 
So I'm out, I can't be a part of

234
00:25:40,900 --> 00:25:42,600
it. 
This was says in verse 21 the 

235
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:46,600
servant came back and reported 
this to the master to Jesus and 

236
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,300
the owner of the house became 
angry became indignant and he 

237
00:25:50,300 --> 00:25:53,800
ordered his servants, they go 
out quickly and Streets in the 

238
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,600
alleys of the town of to the 
houses, just in the little 

239
00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:00,900
streets, in the alleys of town, 
and bring in the poor, bring the

240
00:26:00,900 --> 00:26:03,300
crippled, bring the Blind and 
bring the lame. 

241
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,700
And I love this. 
That Jesus was at this point 

242
00:26:05,700 --> 00:26:08,100
going to reach the people. 
He invited buzzing to reach all 

243
00:26:08,100 --> 00:26:10,000
the people. 
The, the destitutes, the 

244
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,300
leftover the hurting, the people
who have a home, the people are 

245
00:26:13,300 --> 00:26:16,200
left out and all of a sudden, it
begins to bring them in and 

246
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,100
said, service says, sir you 
ordered was been done, but 

247
00:26:19,100 --> 00:26:22,000
there's still room, the master 
told his servant and go out to 

248
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,900
the Odds and the country lanes, 
if you were familiar with the 

249
00:26:24,900 --> 00:26:28,200
King James version says, go out 
into the highways and the hedges

250
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:33,200
and compel them to come in stop 
at nothing to bring people. 

251
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:37,600
To the banquet, go out further, 
go out beyond the city Gates, go

252
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:41,400
into all the places and bring 
them in so that my house may be.

253
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:42,800
What does it say? 
Maybe. 

254
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:48,800
Maybe this is important, maybe 
it may be full. 

255
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:50,900
I want you, I want you bring so 
many people that the banquet 

256
00:26:50,900 --> 00:26:53,200
seeds are all full. 
First 24. 

257
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:54,600
Remember he's talking to the 
Pharisees. 

258
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,700
He says, I tell you he's looking
around the room. 

259
00:26:58,100 --> 00:27:01,500
That no one of those who were 
invited will get a taste of my 

260
00:27:01,508 --> 00:27:03,800
banquet. 
And so this is a significant 

261
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,700
Parable because Jesus has 
literally just open the door for

262
00:27:06,700 --> 00:27:09,300
the gospel, to go, the entire 
world. 

263
00:27:09,300 --> 00:27:11,600
She's Pharisees. 
They had gotten invitation These

264
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,200
Old Testament. 
Jewish Nation. 

265
00:27:13,300 --> 00:27:15,900
These L would've known that 
Jesus is Messiah. 

266
00:27:16,100 --> 00:27:18,000
There is coming to redeem people
from their sin, he was the 

267
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,200
chosen one. 
They would on all these things 

268
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,500
about Jesus. 
Now fact, they got invitation is

269
00:27:22,500 --> 00:27:25,300
called the Old Testament. 
Come on somebody man named David

270
00:27:25,300 --> 00:27:29,400
or Elijah Elijah, or Moses, or 
Abraham or Ezekiel? 

271
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,200
Jeremiah. 
All these people have been 

272
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,900
prophesying about. 
Daniel of the coming one, the 

273
00:27:33,900 --> 00:27:35,700
Messiah. 
They had the invitation of Jesus

274
00:27:35,700 --> 00:27:38,600
saying, hey, guess what? 
Those are invited, no longer 

275
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,700
invited. 
We're inviting everybody that 

276
00:27:40,700 --> 00:27:43,600
was no longer by Nets us. 
Amen to the bank. 

277
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,800
Whatever in heaven with Jesus 
and Jesus says, don't you bring 

278
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,600
everybody in, I want you to go 
out to the highways and hedges 

279
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,600
and compel them. 
That means convince them, let me

280
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,400
share the good news of Jesus and
bring them in. 

281
00:27:55,500 --> 00:27:57,100
And so today, I want to kick off
this series. 

282
00:27:57,100 --> 00:27:59,200
What it looks like to be brought
to Jesus. 

283
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:03,900
Don't kick off this series of a 
story of a man who Jesus found 

284
00:28:04,100 --> 00:28:07,400
and how God used him and 
compelled him for the things of 

285
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:08,700
Christ. 
Let's check out the story. 

286
00:28:11,100 --> 00:28:22,200
I'm John birt and this is my 
story pretty much is about 2011,

287
00:28:23,900 --> 00:28:26,000
pretty pretty down in the dumps 
around that time. 

288
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:30,300
I was pretty bad addict. 
I was actually doing some time 

289
00:28:30,300 --> 00:28:32,800
in jail, it's pretty out of my 
mind. 

290
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,300
I was trying to fight everybody 
in the jail cell and really 

291
00:28:36,300 --> 00:28:37,500
didn't know where my life is 
going. 

292
00:28:37,500 --> 00:28:40,800
At that moment. 
It was so bad that I met All the

293
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:42,300
other inmates really 
uncomfortable. 

294
00:28:42,300 --> 00:28:44,900
So the jail bailiff brought me 
down the hallway and put me in 

295
00:28:44,900 --> 00:28:48,300
another round. 
I'll still going pretty crazy. 

296
00:28:48,300 --> 00:28:51,400
And I remember I sat down the 
block and it was Pitch Black in 

297
00:28:51,408 --> 00:28:55,200
there, except for the little 
light on the mail slot that they

298
00:28:55,500 --> 00:28:58,200
bring the tray in through. 
And I remember the light shine 

299
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,400
through the hallway on a piece 
of paper and I'll pick up the 

300
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,300
piece of paper and it was the 
face section in the newspaper. 

301
00:29:05,300 --> 00:29:10,200
And at that moment I sat down on
the bark and I was scared and 

302
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,300
lonely. 
I just felt the Holy Spirit has 

303
00:29:13,300 --> 00:29:15,300
come on man. 
It's kind of like I was naked 

304
00:29:15,300 --> 00:29:18,000
and Jesus. 
It's just quote me right there 

305
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:23,000
and all my all my anxieties and 
everything's kind of melted away

306
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:27,700
and ask the bailiff for a Bible.
And that's pretty much how my 

307
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:34,000
relationship with Jesus started.
A couple months later, I went to

308
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:38,400
Cass County Jail, I was in there
one night and is try around 

309
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,100
midnight, something like that 
and you know, you can hear the 

310
00:29:41,100 --> 00:29:42,700
cellblocks opening down the 
hall. 

311
00:29:42,700 --> 00:29:45,600
So looking at everybody like, 
hey we got somebody new coming 

312
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,100
down the down, the Away. 
Who is it? 

313
00:29:48,300 --> 00:29:52,300
It's our buddy. 
Dan comes walking in the Pod and

314
00:29:52,300 --> 00:29:54,200
I could tell, he's had a pretty 
rough night. 

315
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,700
I'm just pacing back and forth. 
They finally sits down in front 

316
00:29:57,700 --> 00:29:59,000
of my bunk. 
And I was like, hey man, you 

317
00:29:59,008 --> 00:30:01,800
don't have to sit down right 
there you, so I stole him come 

318
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,900
up and sit on the top bar, put 
your stuff up here and that's 

319
00:30:04,900 --> 00:30:06,600
where he stayed for the next 
couple months. 

320
00:30:07,100 --> 00:30:11,200
You know, I was reading the 
Bible and yeah, damn, it Reed. 

321
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:17,000
And to, We Do Hang out, we just 
read and I'll try to make sense 

322
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,500
of a bad situation. 
And then smother guys would sit 

323
00:30:20,500 --> 00:30:22,300
down next to me and they want to
hear it. 

324
00:30:22,300 --> 00:30:25,600
So I've read it out loud to 
them, and maybe they just lost 

325
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,300
two. 
And I just wanted to some 

326
00:30:27,300 --> 00:30:30,800
comforting words eventually, it 
turned into just made reading 

327
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:34,200
out loud to everybody. 
That came to the point where 

328
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,300
they didn't have a choice 
because I was reading it out 

329
00:30:36,300 --> 00:30:38,200
loud anyway. 
So if they didn't want to hear 

330
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:39,500
it, they decided to close their 
ears. 

331
00:30:39,500 --> 00:30:43,200
But everybody, everybody was 
listening. 

332
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:47,000
The Pod that we were at there 
was 24 cell, block on the 

333
00:30:47,008 --> 00:30:49,300
bottom, there's a pony for 
sunblock on top. 

334
00:30:49,300 --> 00:30:54,200
So even the people up top 
leaning on the gate, listen to. 

335
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,600
It was bruised. 
It was a pretty cool experience 

336
00:30:57,100 --> 00:31:00,200
and at this point I'm pretty 
much like a prodigal again. 

337
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,800
I've been found at that moment. 
10, 11 years later. 

338
00:31:03,900 --> 00:31:06,400
I got back into the world. 
You know, I started eating out 

339
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:10,200
from the Tree of knowledge and I
kind of slowly dip back into 

340
00:31:11,100 --> 00:31:14,900
into that lifestyle. 
I go Your dad's house and he's 

341
00:31:14,900 --> 00:31:17,000
telling me about all these 
great, things have just happened

342
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,000
in his life and he starts 
telling me about how Jesus came 

343
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,500
and pretty much brought him to 
his knees and he's really 

344
00:31:23,500 --> 00:31:28,100
changed his life Grandma's. 
I had I was like a last thing I 

345
00:31:28,100 --> 00:31:33,200
was expecting to hear from him. 
So at that moment I was I was 

346
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:37,100
ready and I was probably the 
best I've ever been financially 

347
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:42,700
and with me and my wife but 
spiritually emotionally, I was a

348
00:31:42,700 --> 00:31:45,900
wreck. 
Honestly so pretty much I 

349
00:31:45,900 --> 00:31:50,100
started going to church like Dan
vide me on his bump here at real

350
00:31:50,100 --> 00:31:52,900
life and God's really came into 
my life. 

351
00:31:52,900 --> 00:31:56,900
These last few months, she's got
me, got me, quit drinking and 

352
00:31:56,900 --> 00:32:01,300
quit smoking started. 
Running sober life, praying a 

353
00:32:01,308 --> 00:32:05,100
lot more made my kids coming up 
to church. 

354
00:32:05,100 --> 00:32:08,300
They love it. 
It's just it's been real great. 

355
00:32:08,300 --> 00:32:11,400
Just looking forward to more 
opportunities as got in front of

356
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,400
me. 
There is really, I was just Try 

357
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,500
to squander knows blessings that
he's bestowed upon me. 

358
00:32:16,500 --> 00:32:19,500
You know, you look back at all. 
The things you have. 

359
00:32:20,300 --> 00:32:22,200
It's like land with me. 
Nothing without them. 

360
00:32:22,300 --> 00:32:25,300
If you have been xiety about 
asking, somebody just just 

361
00:32:25,300 --> 00:32:27,800
holding that in xiety and it's 
just gonna eat you up. 

362
00:32:29,100 --> 00:32:32,500
I just hope I may. 
I ask how we're going to say is 

363
00:32:32,500 --> 00:32:37,800
no, just take that leap of faith
and if it's on your mind to ask 

364
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,700
it. 
And that's how I was brought to 

365
00:32:39,700 --> 00:32:42,100
Jesus. 
And I'm inviting you to bring 

366
00:32:42,100 --> 00:32:52,400
someone Well, this is a story 
powerful. 

367
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,600
It's amazing. 
He came out in this family and 

368
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,200
he sat over here in the first 
and he stood up, I say, give 

369
00:32:58,300 --> 00:33:00,600
give it up man, he-he's tub. 
So tall. 

370
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,400
Come on Jesus. 
You know, I mean, so cool to see

371
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,400
what God has done in his life 
and up just bringing somebody 

372
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,700
right? 
And it's cool how Johnson, the 

373
00:33:08,700 --> 00:33:12,700
cell reading the Bible, right? 
And here comes Dan right. 

374
00:33:12,700 --> 00:33:14,800
What a great story is like. 
I didn't know how you guys met, 

375
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:18,000
but now I've got, I know this is
amazing and it's just funny how 

376
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,100
God works through people. 
That's what this series is all 

377
00:33:20,100 --> 00:33:22,500
about. 
It just simply inviting you just

378
00:33:22,500 --> 00:33:25,100
all through life in the 
circumstances, taking the gospel

379
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:29,400
to the darkest corners and sells
write it, how God can use it. 

380
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,000
And so, I'm going to say 
something about his story that 

381
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:33,700
was so significant. 
I had asked him. 

382
00:33:33,700 --> 00:33:37,000
I said, how do you find Jesus? 
And he just stopped, it means 

383
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:40,200
like point-blank, he said, hey 
Sean, I didn't find Jesus. 

384
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,000
Jesus found me. 
I mean, imagine being in 

385
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,900
solitary right? 
And the light of the Gospel 

386
00:33:45,900 --> 00:33:49,300
shines through the food, tray 
slot, and has a faith section, 

387
00:33:49,300 --> 00:33:50,700
the newspaper and gets the 
Bible. 

388
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:54,000
Well, I mean it's amazing and 
our story is much Slimmer, isn't

389
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,100
it? 
That we all Found Jesus? 

390
00:33:56,100 --> 00:33:58,800
And Jesus, we are Jews found us.
We didn't find Jesus. 

391
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:00,700
It wasn't, our ability was not 
good. 

392
00:34:00,700 --> 00:34:04,300
We were we need clean a mess. 
So we didn't go far enough and 

393
00:34:04,300 --> 00:34:06,800
clean it up and make it good. 
Then Jesus accepted us. 

394
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,300
No, no, Jesus found us. 
My friends is amazing. 

395
00:34:09,300 --> 00:34:11,199
Verse in the Bible. 
Its founder Romans 5:6. 

396
00:34:11,199 --> 00:34:13,300
My favorite verses says, we were
utterly. 

397
00:34:13,300 --> 00:34:14,500
What? 
How about utterly? 

398
00:34:15,900 --> 00:34:18,300
Didn't come up fast enough so 
you're like, huh, you were 

399
00:34:18,300 --> 00:34:19,900
utterly helpless as a good 
illustration. 

400
00:34:19,900 --> 00:34:23,500
I like that but we were utterly 
helpless, man. 

401
00:34:23,500 --> 00:34:26,400
Christ, he came at just the 
right time and died for us. 

402
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:30,100
Sinners only helpless. 
When it was nothing, we can do 

403
00:34:30,199 --> 00:34:33,800
to change our situation when 
you're in solitary, but it was 

404
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:35,500
with there's nothing. 
There's no, there's another 

405
00:34:35,500 --> 00:34:38,199
chain and sin, what? 
Jesus did for us on the cross. 

406
00:34:38,199 --> 00:34:39,800
Who knows? 
We could never do in a million 

407
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:40,699
lifetimes. 
Amen. 

408
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:42,699
We never could do. 
What, what? 

409
00:34:42,699 --> 00:34:45,100
What happened? 
Romans 3:23 says, for a wheel 

410
00:34:45,100 --> 00:34:46,600
also, Fall short of the glory of
God. 

411
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,400
There's none righteous. 
No not one, but Jesus. 

412
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:53,500
He became sin for us who knew no
sin, so that we might become the

413
00:34:53,500 --> 00:34:55,900
righteousness of God. 
Amen. 

414
00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:00,300
It wasn't our ability, it was 
are in a bill that Jesus Pursuit

415
00:35:00,300 --> 00:35:02,600
us. 
Jesus came after us. 

416
00:35:02,900 --> 00:35:05,100
Do you think there's an accident
that the faith section was in 

417
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,900
the cell? 
These an accident that he came 

418
00:35:07,900 --> 00:35:10,300
to Christ? 
That Jesus has been pursuing us?

419
00:35:10,300 --> 00:35:13,300
He's pursuing you today and so 
I'm just believing today that 

420
00:35:13,300 --> 00:35:16,100
God is going to shape your life 
and they've got Going to call 

421
00:35:16,100 --> 00:35:20,300
you away from would call the 
Gathering so we can scatter out 

422
00:35:20,300 --> 00:35:22,800
the gospel to bring people to 
Jesus. 

423
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:24,900
Amen! 
So here's my goal, really for 

424
00:35:24,900 --> 00:35:28,700
this series is that we would 
each each of us in this room, we

425
00:35:28,700 --> 00:35:31,700
would bring somebody just one 
person at some point, the next 

426
00:35:31,700 --> 00:35:34,900
three Sundays, the gotta put 
some build our heart that we 

427
00:35:34,900 --> 00:35:36,900
could witness to share the 
gospel. 

428
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,200
You just invite out user card 
invited neighbor have a meal and

429
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,200
I'm out the church, whatever it 
is, and bring somebody into the 

430
00:35:43,207 --> 00:35:45,100
person's got here and the second
goal. 

431
00:35:45,100 --> 00:35:47,300
And I think, This is way more 
significant is that over the 

432
00:35:47,300 --> 00:35:50,100
course of the next year, one 
year that we bring somebody to 

433
00:35:50,100 --> 00:35:53,000
Jesus, like, literally you see 
somebody come to saving faith, 

434
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,100
not because of our ability, 
amen. 

435
00:35:55,700 --> 00:35:57,600
But was God himself, Jesus. 
So some of you guys going to 

436
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,500
water, so you guys can plan 
something to sew some you to 

437
00:36:00,500 --> 00:36:03,300
reap and it's God, who gives the
increase, amen. 

438
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,900
So the pressure of seeing people
coming to Christ has all on 

439
00:36:06,900 --> 00:36:10,000
Jesus, it's all on them and so 
we're simply going to be a 

440
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,000
mouthpiece. 
And so this next year I was 

441
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,500
thinking about this this is 
amazing if each one of us played

442
00:36:14,500 --> 00:36:17,300
a part of somebody's story. 
Three this next year about 300 

443
00:36:17,300 --> 00:36:19,500
of us in this church that come 
on, average Sunday. 

444
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:22,000
If we all played a part of the 
story, there would be a party in

445
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,700
heaven every single day of the 
week. 

446
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,400
Amen. 
Would that be cool to know 

447
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:29,500
there's a party in heaven going 
on because each of us played 

448
00:36:29,500 --> 00:36:31,900
part of the story, so it's not 
like, oh hey, it's Sean's dad to

449
00:36:31,900 --> 00:36:33,200
be the witness her in the 
church, you know. 

450
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,700
Know it's all a jobs are all 
ambassadors for Jesus. 

451
00:36:35,700 --> 00:36:37,800
Amen. 
And so I believe that God is 

452
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,700
calling us in this. 
Bring series to play part of the

453
00:36:40,700 --> 00:36:42,800
story. 
I live when John was in that 

454
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,300
cell and he said the spirit 
washed over him and change. 

455
00:36:45,500 --> 00:36:47,800
So you understand about coming 
to Christ as you recognize for 

456
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:51,200
yourself that we weren't bad. 
People becoming good, John 

457
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,300
wasn't a good person becoming 
better. 

458
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,600
No, no, we were dead people 
coming alive. 

459
00:36:56,600 --> 00:37:00,900
Amen, we were dead in our sins 
or may live to Jesus. 

460
00:37:00,900 --> 00:37:03,400
We were broken. 
We're in complete, we were 

461
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:07,400
struggling and strangled in a 
Cell of sin, and Jesus made away

462
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,200
and set us free. 
Now, the reality is this, every 

463
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,300
time you think back to that 
moment for John, he never 

464
00:37:12,300 --> 00:37:14,100
forgot. 
Obviously, when you accepted 

465
00:37:14,100 --> 00:37:16,600
Jesus and for all of us, Us, we 
look back that moment. 

466
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:18,600
You should have hair on your 
arms, stand up. 

467
00:37:19,100 --> 00:37:20,500
Oh, thank you, Jesus. 
Amen. 

468
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,600
Is what you did for me. 
I could have never done for 

469
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:25,300
myself. 
Thank you Jesus. 

470
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,500
And we get the privilege and 
honor of sharing Jesus with 

471
00:37:28,500 --> 00:37:30,900
somebody else throughout. 
Is this is that Christ stopped 

472
00:37:30,900 --> 00:37:34,000
at nothing to find us. 
And now we're called to find 

473
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,300
other people. 
I love how John talked about his

474
00:37:36,300 --> 00:37:38,300
favorite passage. 
In the scripture, they read out 

475
00:37:38,300 --> 00:37:40,500
loud to all the cell mates, by 
the way, it's amazing. 

476
00:37:40,500 --> 00:37:42,800
I just like what a picture. 
This is like, somewhere in the 

477
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:43,600
body. 
Should be the Bible. 

478
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,300
Some all right, he's reading the
Bible out. 

479
00:37:45,500 --> 00:37:46,700
Loud. 
But his favorite store in the 

480
00:37:46,700 --> 00:37:49,400
Bible's prodigal, son. 
And what a picture of God's 

481
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:50,800
grace. 
Here's the father. 

482
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,700
That's been shredded on is 
Grace, has been abused and the 

483
00:37:53,700 --> 00:37:56,900
father. 
Jesus, God is waiting patiently 

484
00:37:57,100 --> 00:38:01,200
for his son to come home. 
It's no wonder that John love 

485
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:02,900
that scripture. 
So today we're going to read 

486
00:38:02,900 --> 00:38:04,300
through the story of The 
Prodigal, Son. 

487
00:38:04,500 --> 00:38:10,500
You guys ready for this today? 
Just like yeah yeah we're going 

488
00:38:10,500 --> 00:38:13,600
to get there today. 
You guys ready little bit? 

489
00:38:13,900 --> 00:38:17,200
All right well Luke 15 is we're 
going to be so you're going to 

490
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,900
run through this and it we're 
going to be basically in the 

491
00:38:19,908 --> 00:38:22,100
whole chapter. 
So there's three stories that 

492
00:38:22,100 --> 00:38:25,400
Jesus gives and it leads all it 
just kind of builds one another 

493
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:29,800
in Jesus, he is again hanging 
out with Sinners, great centers 

494
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,100
and it says this in verse 1, it 
says tax cluttered collectors 

495
00:38:33,300 --> 00:38:35,700
and other notorious centers. 
Who knows crack Tax Collectors 

496
00:38:35,700 --> 00:38:37,300
are notorious Has come on 
somebody. 

497
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,900
Yeah, right some, you're like, I
don't know if the the Cass 

498
00:38:40,900 --> 00:38:44,200
County collector, you know, 
assessors are here that really 

499
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,400
cool actually, because it goes 
on to say, tax collectors and 

500
00:38:46,408 --> 00:38:49,900
other tourist. 
Centers, often often came to 

501
00:38:49,900 --> 00:38:52,400
listen to Jesus, teach, come on.
That's how you know what? 

502
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:53,400
The right church. 
Amen. 

503
00:38:54,100 --> 00:38:56,900
I mean honestly, I mean, Jesus 
was opposite of a lot of 

504
00:38:56,900 --> 00:38:59,800
religious, people would think 
went with Jesus attracted a 

505
00:38:59,808 --> 00:39:01,300
crowd. 
It was the notorious Sinners 

506
00:39:01,300 --> 00:39:03,400
that come out to listen to him. 
Often that. 

507
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:05,200
I believe that's how, you know, 
in the right place when somebody

508
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:06,400
shows up, looks nothing like 
Jesus. 

509
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,500
Is coming because it's a love of
Jesus and are compelled by the 

510
00:39:09,500 --> 00:39:13,500
consul Lord to repentance. 
And so, Jesus was an attractor 

511
00:39:13,700 --> 00:39:15,600
of people that were far from 
him. 

512
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:19,100
He loved the notorious Sinners 
verse 2. 

513
00:39:19,100 --> 00:39:21,600
It says this made the Pharisees 
and teachers of religious law. 

514
00:39:21,700 --> 00:39:26,000
What made them what Yeah, one 
person I like that. 

515
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:29,200
Go Jerry made and complain, 
right? 

516
00:39:29,300 --> 00:39:33,000
These guys are upset, these guys
are irritated why in the world 

517
00:39:33,100 --> 00:39:36,800
would Jesus associate with such 
sinful people and even eat with 

518
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:38,500
them? 
Can you believe this guy? 

519
00:39:38,700 --> 00:39:41,400
They said their cross their 
arms, you look at Jesus over 

520
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,000
there with these notorious 
Sinners. 

521
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,900
I mean, we don't let us work, we
serve God, we know God, he'd 

522
00:39:45,900 --> 00:39:48,100
have lunch with us. 
He did do this for us. 

523
00:39:48,300 --> 00:39:50,200
Actually. 
He just did last Parable, right?

524
00:39:50,500 --> 00:39:51,500
They forgot. 
He was hanging out with a 

525
00:39:51,508 --> 00:39:52,800
tourist centers. 
Like them. 

526
00:39:52,900 --> 00:39:54,500
They didn't consider themselves 
as notorious in. 

527
00:39:54,700 --> 00:39:57,500
As they were better than most 
people, verse 3 says this. 

528
00:39:57,500 --> 00:40:00,500
So Jesus told them the story 
about fact he gets home three 

529
00:40:00,500 --> 00:40:03,200
stories back-to-back, okay? 
And so the first or is a lost 

530
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,800
sheep sextours, lost coin, the 
third story, it builds on it is 

531
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,300
the prodigal son. 
So first, for says this Jesus 

532
00:40:09,300 --> 00:40:12,300
story, If any man has a hundred 
sheep and one of them gets lost,

533
00:40:12,300 --> 00:40:15,600
what we do, well he leave the 99
others and go into the 

534
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:19,500
Wilderness and go to what was he
to do you search? 

535
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:24,100
He's going to search for the 
lost sheep until he finds it. 

536
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:26,200
It's so important. 
Understand that Jesus is saying,

537
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:29,200
hey, I'm going to leave the 99. 
I'm going after the one until I 

538
00:40:29,207 --> 00:40:32,800
find that one and today, maybe 
you're the one that Jesus is 

539
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,100
going to find. 
And when he has found it, he 

540
00:40:35,100 --> 00:40:37,600
will joyfully Care at home on 
his shoulders and when he 

541
00:40:37,607 --> 00:40:40,900
arrives, he will call together 
his friends and neighbors saying

542
00:40:40,900 --> 00:40:43,900
Rejoice with me because I have 
found my lost sheep in the same 

543
00:40:43,900 --> 00:40:45,400
way. 
This is the Heavenly part. 

544
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:49,300
There is more, what? 
There's more joy in heaven, over

545
00:40:49,300 --> 00:40:51,600
one Lost Sinner, repents and 
returns to God. 

546
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,000
Number 99, others who are 
righteous? 

547
00:40:54,300 --> 00:40:56,800
And Having strayed away. 
So here's the theme. 

548
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:58,800
So far Jesus tells these 
Pharisees. 

549
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:00,300
They why you can play. 
Why are you doing this? 

550
00:41:00,300 --> 00:41:02,000
They're complaining about Jesus.
Hang out tourist centers. 

551
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:03,600
And Jesus says, let me tell you 
a story. 

552
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,200
I'ma leave the 99 and the go 
find the one. 

553
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,900
It's lost its broken, he's 
alone. 

554
00:41:08,900 --> 00:41:11,800
He was in safe who isn't found 
when I find it. 

555
00:41:11,900 --> 00:41:15,200
We're going to throw a party. 
That's what I'm gonna do. 

556
00:41:15,500 --> 00:41:17,200
These Pharisees are still set up
their arms crossed. 

557
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,500
Not really clicking, it's not 
tracking for them. 

558
00:41:19,500 --> 00:41:21,100
So Jesus tells them another 
story. 

559
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:24,900
He goes on to say in verse 8 or 
suppose, the woman has Silver 

560
00:41:24,900 --> 00:41:29,000
coins and loses one, once you 
light a lamp and sweep the 

561
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,400
entire house. 
Once you flip the couch and look

562
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,800
at all the crevices until she 
finds, or search carefully, 

563
00:41:34,900 --> 00:41:37,300
until she finds it. 
And when she finds it, she will 

564
00:41:37,300 --> 00:41:40,200
call her friends and neighbors, 
and say rejoice with me. 

565
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:43,100
Because I found my lost coin. 
Dinner's on me tonight. 

566
00:41:43,100 --> 00:41:45,400
Come on somebody and the same 
way. 

567
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:47,200
There is what helped me out 
there is. 

568
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:51,300
There's joy in the presence of 
God's angels, even once one 

569
00:41:51,300 --> 00:41:54,500
Center repents and so here's a 
theme just keeps rolling now. 

570
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:57,100
Only, if you leave 99 and 
searched until he finds it, he's

571
00:41:57,100 --> 00:41:59,500
going to search carefully until 
he finds it. 

572
00:41:59,500 --> 00:42:01,800
He's a good every nook and 
cranny and every Highway and 

573
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:03,700
henge. 
He's looking every dark corner 

574
00:42:03,700 --> 00:42:07,000
dark Road, and into the places 
that nobody want to go into the 

575
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,200
overlooked, into the destitute, 
into the dark areas of the 

576
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:12,700
world, until he finds every 
single person, and give the name

577
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,700
of Jesus. 
There's gonna be a party when he

578
00:42:15,700 --> 00:42:18,400
finds them still not sudden for 
these Pharisees going to verse 

579
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:22,100
11 and so is to illustrate the 
point further, like the obvious 

580
00:42:22,100 --> 00:42:23,700
not going to get this. 
So let me just throw it out 

581
00:42:23,700 --> 00:42:25,400
there for you and you just Rise 
of home. 

582
00:42:25,700 --> 00:42:28,500
And Jesus told them the story, 
he said, a man had two sons, the

583
00:42:28,500 --> 00:42:32,300
younger son, told his father, I 
want my share of your estate now

584
00:42:32,300 --> 00:42:34,400
before you die. 
In other words, dad, even know 

585
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:35,600
you're alive. 
You're sitting right here. 

586
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:37,800
You're dead to me. 
I'm over you. 

587
00:42:38,100 --> 00:42:41,200
So all my heritance right now. 
And so it says this, so as 

588
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:43,900
father agreed to devise wealth 
between his sons. 

589
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,200
Now, it's important to note 
right here that he gave half as 

590
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:48,200
inheritance to his younger son. 
This is the product rule in the 

591
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:49,900
story, they gave half his 
Heritage. 

592
00:42:49,900 --> 00:42:52,300
His older son, who's going to be
the guy that's upset in the 

593
00:42:52,308 --> 00:42:54,400
story of the end. 
He split his inheritance right? 

594
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,500
Away first 13, a few days later.
This younger son packed, all his

595
00:42:57,500 --> 00:43:00,900
belongings moved to some land 
and there he wasted all his 

596
00:43:00,900 --> 00:43:04,200
money on wild living he was he 
was probably squandered all his 

597
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:07,000
stuff about that time is money 
right now, A Great Famine. 

598
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:10,000
Swept over land began to starve.
He persuade a local farmer to 

599
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,600
hire him in the main. 
Sent him into his fields to feed

600
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:14,800
the pigs. 
The young man became so hungry 

601
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,600
that even the pods he was 
feeding the pigs look so good to

602
00:43:17,607 --> 00:43:20,200
him. 
So but no one gave him anything.

603
00:43:20,500 --> 00:43:24,300
When he finally came to his 
senses, when he woke up when he 

604
00:43:24,300 --> 00:43:27,000
went All this money and it 
didn't satisfy him. 

605
00:43:27,100 --> 00:43:29,200
He was barely surviving through 
a famine. 

606
00:43:29,500 --> 00:43:32,800
He said to himself at home. 
Even the hired servants have 

607
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:37,300
food enough to spare but here I 
am dying of hunger. 

608
00:43:37,700 --> 00:43:41,200
I will go home to my father and 
what a perfect picture of 

609
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:42,200
repentance. 
Amen. 

610
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,000
My go home to my father and this
is what it's going to say. 

611
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:48,500
Father, I've sinned against both
heaven and you are no longer 

612
00:43:48,500 --> 00:43:53,100
worthy to be called your son, 
please take me on as a hired 

613
00:43:53,100 --> 00:43:56,500
servant, just take me back. 
Anyway possible, I humbled 

614
00:43:56,500 --> 00:43:59,300
myself. 
I've been humbled, man. 

615
00:43:59,300 --> 00:44:02,200
I've been down the road, the 
world not broken. 

616
00:44:02,300 --> 00:44:04,900
Just kept me back into your 
family at your presence and 

617
00:44:04,900 --> 00:44:08,700
please provide for me verse 20. 
So we returned home to his 

618
00:44:08,700 --> 00:44:14,000
father and while he was still a 
long way off I love this. 

619
00:44:14,500 --> 00:44:20,500
His father was It's about Psalm,
that's amazing part of the 

620
00:44:20,500 --> 00:44:22,600
story. 
His father wasn't too busy. 

621
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:26,400
His father was waiting and 
watching for her son to come 

622
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:29,400
home. 
His son, his abuses, Grace 

623
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:33,200
lunches presence, mad at him, 
angry him and left him in. 

624
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:36,000
The father was brokenhearted 
waiting for his children. 

625
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:39,000
His prodigals to come home. 
I want you to watch this because

626
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,700
this is probably one of the best
descriptions of the heart of 

627
00:44:41,700 --> 00:44:45,000
God's found the Bible. 
The love of Jesus for us every 

628
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:50,500
single day, it says this filled 
with Love and compassion, he ran

629
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:54,600
to his son, he took off, he is 
slammed the door and locked the 

630
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:57,300
door. 
He ran to his son and embrace 

631
00:44:57,300 --> 00:45:00,700
his son and he kissed him. 
His son said to him, father, I 

632
00:45:00,707 --> 00:45:02,300
have sinned against both you and
Heaven. 

633
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:05,500
I no longer worthy to be called 
your son and a father. 

634
00:45:05,500 --> 00:45:06,700
I love. 
This is Alyssa way. 

635
00:45:06,700 --> 00:45:08,400
He didn't do it. 
I, this is so powerful. 

636
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:12,200
He did say some where you been 
but long time, son I'm not sure 

637
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:15,700
about coming back home, oh, hey,
you can stay one night, but let 

638
00:45:15,700 --> 00:45:16,600
the door. 
Hit you on the way out. 

639
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,600
He be out here tomorrow. 
Bro, he didn't slam the door, he

640
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:21,200
didn't ask him. 
What happened the money, he 

641
00:45:21,207 --> 00:45:24,200
didn't ask me if his money back.
No, no, his father was so 

642
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:26,200
excited. 
This is where he does. 

643
00:45:26,300 --> 00:45:28,300
His father said to the servants,
he's cut us off. 

644
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:30,700
Hey, yeah, I forgave you the 
moment, so I run to you, son. 

645
00:45:31,100 --> 00:45:32,400
He goes, there's, we're going to
get the servants. 

646
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,200
Come here, quick! 
Bring the finest robe in the 

647
00:45:34,207 --> 00:45:36,900
house, put on him, get a ring on
his finger and sandals on his 

648
00:45:36,900 --> 00:45:39,800
feet and kill the calf that 
we've been fattening. 

649
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:43,000
Come on somebody. 
It's gonna be a party tonight. 

650
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:46,100
We must celebrate with A Feast, 
for a son of mine was dead, and 

651
00:45:46,100 --> 00:45:47,900
now is your turn. 
Life. 

652
00:45:47,900 --> 00:45:53,100
He was lost but now he is found.
So the party began. 

653
00:45:53,100 --> 00:45:55,700
Come on somebody, right? 
Do you know when you came to 

654
00:45:55,700 --> 00:45:58,800
Christ, there's a party for you.
And haven't, you guys know that 

655
00:45:59,300 --> 00:46:00,600
you guys are the Angels shouted.
In heaven. 

656
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:02,300
The moment. 
You said, yes, to Jesus. 

657
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:03,600
You're the most significant 
thing. 

658
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:05,600
You can spend your life on is a 
shared Jesus. 

659
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:08,000
With people, you know, when you 
get to heaven, you can go. 

660
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:11,200
You can talk to all these people
that play a part of your story. 

661
00:46:11,300 --> 00:46:13,800
And then for the years and years
and years and decades, maybe 

662
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:17,000
centuries to come people to show
up to heaven and they say, thank

663
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,500
you. 
So much for living on Mission 

664
00:46:19,500 --> 00:46:21,900
because it wasn't for you. 
I would have never known the 

665
00:46:21,900 --> 00:46:23,700
gospel. 
Thanks for playing Paul, small, 

666
00:46:23,700 --> 00:46:25,800
part of story Nelson. 
It's be so ecstatic. 

667
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:27,400
Amen. 
And you can have parties, every 

668
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:29,300
time you start watching The 
Gospel, keep moving, like, you 

669
00:46:29,300 --> 00:46:30,600

Come on, somebody. 

670
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:32,900
They'll the pardons going to 
happen and this is this is what 

671
00:46:32,900 --> 00:46:35,800
the gospel is all about. 
You see the theme of Jesus, he 

672
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:38,000
left the righteous. 
He left movement called the 

673
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:41,000
church, he left the people that 
are forgiven, and he went to the

674
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:45,900
most broken, notorious 
criminals, the people that were 

675
00:46:45,900 --> 00:46:49,000
the most needed. 
The Forgiveness, the people 

676
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:52,300
abuse his grace, the most, 
there's nobody passed this and 

677
00:46:52,300 --> 00:46:54,900
he ran through them with 
forgiveness. 

678
00:46:54,900 --> 00:47:00,100
Amen, this is just me today. 
I'm like the only one excited 

679
00:47:00,100 --> 00:47:02,900
about forgiveness, right? 
I mean, dude, I'm telling you, 

680
00:47:02,900 --> 00:47:04,300
this is what she'd be like real 
life. 

681
00:47:04,300 --> 00:47:07,100
Should be the party Church. 
Come on somebody like we're 

682
00:47:07,100 --> 00:47:09,800
responsible more parties in 
heaven than any church in our 

683
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:12,900
area because we're tearing up 
for Cass County for Belden for 

684
00:47:12,908 --> 00:47:14,400
rumor through bringing people to
Christ. 

685
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:17,100
This is what God has called us 
to do the churches. 

686
00:47:17,300 --> 00:47:19,700
Exist for herself exist, for the
world around us. 

687
00:47:19,700 --> 00:47:22,400
Amen, the Run mission. 
Is that the people that aren't 

688
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:25,800
here are the people were called 
to reach we come to church or 

689
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:28,600
you can call this church. 
We come here to gather together 

690
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:31,600
so called a gathering and so we 
can hear, we could equips, we 

691
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:35,000
get empowered, we get 
encouraged, we get built up. 

692
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:39,900
We reminded we get put back in 
the spirit of God and so yes 

693
00:47:39,900 --> 00:47:42,600
this is why I'm doing it and 
then we go live it out for a 

694
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:44,900
week and so Monday morning you 
are the church. 

695
00:47:44,900 --> 00:47:47,000
Amen. 
And then Tuesday morning and 

696
00:47:47,300 --> 00:47:49,300
Times were kids on Thursday 
night when you read a strangle 

697
00:47:49,300 --> 00:47:51,200
them. 
Come on, somebody, right? 

698
00:47:51,500 --> 00:47:54,200
That's your Jesus to your kids. 
I mean, all week long, wherever 

699
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:56,800
you go, you're called to be on 
Mission. 

700
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,400
Your Ambassador Christ. 
You are the church. 

701
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:01,300
Okay, so we got stopped, just 
going to church. 

702
00:48:01,300 --> 00:48:04,200
Come on somebody. 
We start being the church living

703
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:06,800
on Mission, and the route is 
every single day. 

704
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:10,100
We have the opportunities in 
front of us, to stand up to be 

705
00:48:10,100 --> 00:48:12,400
bold and broken and shared 
Jesus. 

706
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:15,100
Now, I'm not saying it's some 
scripted, Bible College, you 

707
00:48:15,100 --> 00:48:17,400
know, preaching session? 
It's a man, which God, Doing 

708
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:19,100
your life with her. 
Christian was not Christians 

709
00:48:19,100 --> 00:48:21,400
like hey man, you ever thought 
about come to church with me 

710
00:48:21,900 --> 00:48:24,500
down my to that auto man was 
that I'm just just a little 

711
00:48:24,500 --> 00:48:27,000
conversations, you plant some 
seeds and then God's going to 

712
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,800
open doors, and you can play a 
part of the story of bringing 

713
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:31,500
people to Jesus. 
And then you get to throw a 

714
00:48:31,508 --> 00:48:34,300
party in heaven. 
This is, this is what Jesus is 

715
00:48:34,300 --> 00:48:36,100
saying. 
He's talking to most religious 

716
00:48:36,100 --> 00:48:37,500
people. 
The time he said this woman to 

717
00:48:37,500 --> 00:48:40,200
do, I'm leaving you all. 
I'm gonna go through my soul. 

718
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,500
Part of these people come home. 
This is his pattern. 

719
00:48:42,500 --> 00:48:44,100
They speaks about over and over 
again. 

720
00:48:44,300 --> 00:48:46,600
Now, these religious leaders, 
this moment are still not 

721
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:49,000
picking up ways. 
Putting down and so Jesus. 

722
00:48:49,300 --> 00:48:51,900
He just kind of lays out for me.
Just puts it at Point Blank. 

723
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:54,700
Here it is in verse 25 says, 
meanwhile, the older son, this 

724
00:48:54,700 --> 00:48:57,500
would have been the Pharisees. 
These older son represents, the 

725
00:48:57,500 --> 00:49:00,300
religious leaders, the people 
complaining about Jesus hang out

726
00:49:00,300 --> 00:49:02,800
centers. 
So meanwhile, the older son was 

727
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:05,800
in the fields working, he was 
serving God, he was falling the 

728
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:07,800
things as Master wanted and we 
returned home. 

729
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:10,500
He heard the music and what 
helped me out heard. 

730
00:49:11,500 --> 00:49:13,200
Dance and come on somebody. 
I just had to say that for the 

731
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:14,700
Baptist in the house. 
Come on somebody. 

732
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:17,300
There was dance. 
I said I shall throw it out 

733
00:49:17,300 --> 00:49:19,700
there a little bit bad as 
friends but there was I just 

734
00:49:19,700 --> 00:49:21,900
said it. 
There it is praying for you guys

735
00:49:21,900 --> 00:49:26,800
to know recovering people right 
verse 26 and he asked one of the

736
00:49:26,808 --> 00:49:30,000
servants, what was going on? 
He said your brother is back. 

737
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,400
He was told and your father has 
killed the fattened calf. 

738
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:35,300
And we are celebrating because 
of the safe return. 

739
00:49:35,500 --> 00:49:38,100
The older brother was angry. 
He was mad. 

740
00:49:38,100 --> 00:49:40,700
He won't even go into the house.
He wouldn't go in the party as 

741
00:49:40,700 --> 00:49:42,900
father. 
Came out and he begged him, son.

742
00:49:42,900 --> 00:49:44,900
Come in your brother's home. 
He's been found. 

743
00:49:44,900 --> 00:49:47,800
This is so exciting to be part 
of this in the sun replied. 

744
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:51,100
All these years I've slaved for 
you Dad, either once and never, 

745
00:49:51,100 --> 00:49:53,900
once refused to a single thing, 
you've told me that's touching 

746
00:49:53,900 --> 00:49:56,000
the law perfect. 
I've always served you. 

747
00:49:56,100 --> 00:49:58,700
I'm honored God, I call this 
like the ministry saying like 

748
00:49:58,700 --> 00:50:00,400
I've done so much you know, they
get. 

749
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:01,700
So I'll look all things a 
different. 

750
00:50:01,700 --> 00:50:03,700
God, how could God ever treat me
this way? 

751
00:50:03,900 --> 00:50:05,500
But why would, why would this 
happen to me? 

752
00:50:05,500 --> 00:50:08,800
I'm doing all this for you and 
all the time you never gave me 

753
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:12,300
even one young goat to Feast on 
with My friends the whole time 

754
00:50:12,300 --> 00:50:14,500
he never did this for me. 
I've been the whole time 

755
00:50:14,500 --> 00:50:17,600
following you put my time energy
in this never once threw a 

756
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:20,200
party, like a throw for the, for
your other son. 

757
00:50:20,500 --> 00:50:23,100
Not my brother Han and you're 
gonna have a party for him. 

758
00:50:23,100 --> 00:50:25,600
What is wrong with you? 
Dad, you celebrate killing the 

759
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:27,200
fatted. 
Calf is supposed to be for me, 

760
00:50:27,900 --> 00:50:29,500
this guy's just completely 
selfish. 

761
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:33,600
The father said to him, look 
dear son, you've always stayed 

762
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:35,800
by me. 
I gave you half my inheritance 

763
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:38,300
and you stayed in my presence. 
You're the blessings of me. 

764
00:50:38,300 --> 00:50:41,200
Blessings of God, the protection
of God all around it access to 

765
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:43,800
me. 24/7. 
For everything I have is yours. 

766
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:45,900
You own. 
It already very given you the 

767
00:50:45,900 --> 00:50:48,800
inheritance. 
So we had to celebrate today 

768
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:50,500
because he has something that he
didn't have. 

769
00:50:50,500 --> 00:50:54,800
You had be for your brother was 
dead and has come back to life. 

770
00:50:54,900 --> 00:50:59,700
He was lost but now he is Found 
come all somebody. 

771
00:50:59,900 --> 00:51:01,800
This is why we're going to 
celebrate today. 

772
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:04,300
Why do we bring people? 
Why did Jesus leave the 99? 

773
00:51:04,300 --> 00:51:06,700
You know, Jesus is in the search
and rescue business. 

774
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:09,700
You know, Jesus is in the 
business of taking dead things 

775
00:51:09,700 --> 00:51:12,600
and turn into life. 
Jesus in the business of 

776
00:51:12,700 --> 00:51:14,500
unlocking, the prison cell of 
sin. 

777
00:51:14,500 --> 00:51:17,200
Amen. 
In fact, Jesus cross lines 

778
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:20,300
crossed lines of Many religious 
leaders of time wouldn't cross. 

779
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:22,600
He hung out with through. 
Spera sees these religious 

780
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:25,000
leaders, these criminals, these 
Tax Collectors. 

781
00:51:25,100 --> 00:51:28,100
He was found in places that you 
never imagined God to And then 

782
00:51:28,100 --> 00:51:30,200
he turned water into wine. 
Come on. 

783
00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:31,500
I was the first miracle of 
Jesus. 

784
00:51:31,500 --> 00:51:32,900
People still hung up on that, 
amen. 

785
00:51:33,100 --> 00:51:36,300
I mean, just like, I can't 
believe this and these Pharisees

786
00:51:36,300 --> 00:51:40,000
are crossing their arms. 
Instead of Crossing Lines for 

787
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:41,700
Jesus. 
Matter of fact, Jesus crossed 

788
00:51:41,700 --> 00:51:44,600
lines of borders. 
He went to Samaria, he crossed 

789
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:48,300
the lines of ethnos of people 
of, of races Journal called 

790
00:51:48,300 --> 00:51:50,700
that. 
He crossed the line of genders. 

791
00:51:50,700 --> 00:51:52,600
He crossed the cross for crying 
out loud. 

792
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:54,200
Amen. 
Literally. 

793
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:56,600
He put his body across the cross
and bridge, the gap between 

794
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:59,800
Heaven and Earth. 
Earth and made it way for us for

795
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:03,500
forgiveness that he exchanged 
all of his righteousness for all

796
00:52:03,500 --> 00:52:06,200
of our wrongs and bridges the 
way, the it calls on Jesus be 

797
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:08,900
forgiven it made you. 
That's what Christ did for us. 

798
00:52:08,900 --> 00:52:11,500
Amen. 
And so now we get to cross lines

799
00:52:11,500 --> 00:52:13,500
for others. 
We're going to kind of people 

800
00:52:13,500 --> 00:52:16,000
that are going to lead into The 
Fray they're gonna live on 

801
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:17,800
Mission. 
They're going to invite people 

802
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:21,100
that we would never invite in 
our normal life into our life. 

803
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:23,100
Just so we can see them find 
Jesus. 

804
00:52:23,100 --> 00:52:24,900
Amen. 
They're really kind of people 

805
00:52:24,900 --> 00:52:26,700
are Salt and Light to our 
neighborhoods. 

806
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:30,100
Invite people over at our table 
had the Backyard Barbecue and 

807
00:52:30,100 --> 00:52:33,100
that neighbor that annoys you. 
Come on somebody, the guys like 

808
00:52:33,100 --> 00:52:35,500
Deeds Jesus, you know, I'm 
talking about the person that 

809
00:52:35,500 --> 00:52:37,300
you're like, man out about that 
guy. 

810
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:39,100
Yeah, that's the guy that God's 
going to change. 

811
00:52:39,100 --> 00:52:41,600
Amen. 
He's not beyond the grace of 

812
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:43,300
God. 
There's no, he's not be on the 

813
00:52:43,300 --> 00:52:46,200
things of God and these 
religious leaders, with a cross 

814
00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:50,200
their arms and said, nah, nah, 
this religion in it, for me, 

815
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:53,700
this isn't the way I want God to
be, and it across her arms and 

816
00:52:53,700 --> 00:52:56,500
it would have kept people outs. 
I've been to churches like that.

817
00:52:56,500 --> 00:52:57,800
I'm not saying that's our church
at all. 

818
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:00,800
Eh, Amen, we're not that church 
but the reality there's people 

819
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:03,400
that do this quite often. 
There's a religious people do 

820
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:05,900
this quite often. 
I can't believe her as people 

821
00:53:05,900 --> 00:53:08,800
let those people in Hebrew that 
person serving, man. 

822
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:10,200
You believe God's and use them 
that doubt. 

823
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:12,000
There's no way. 
Look at all I've done, man, 

824
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:13,800
we're going to three young 
Easter gatherings. 

825
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:17,000
I like going to three all Too 
much work. 

826
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:22,600
It really do people come to 
Christ sabourin doing it for 

827
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:25,200
its. 
We started this for and the rat.

828
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:29,000
The reality is this we get to do
this like we get to play the 

829
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:31,900
part of the story God we get to 
share the good news of Jesus. 

830
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:35,700
We get to play it, just a small 
microcosm of a piece of God or 

831
00:53:35,700 --> 00:53:38,200
God is lives being changed and 
people come to Christ. 

832
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:40,100
We get to be a part of. 
This is a call of God. 

833
00:53:40,100 --> 00:53:43,400
Amen. 
Your ambassador of God, you're 

834
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:45,900
the work of God. 
You're the best Bible in Bates. 

835
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:49,100
Ever going to read your kids are
going to read you like a book. 

836
00:53:49,500 --> 00:53:51,200
You know, it's just so cool to 
play a part of the store with 

837
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:53,900
your family. 
I mean, as as a family, you guys

838
00:53:53,900 --> 00:53:56,900
should have family devotions. 
You guys should be getting in 

839
00:53:56,900 --> 00:53:59,200
the word of God and you reach 
your children for the cause of 

840
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:01,800
Christ. 
I hate seeing church kids leave 

841
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:05,400
God has all time though. 
Doesn't it Ministry. 

842
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:07,300
Kids church kids to get burned 
down on the stuff. 

843
00:54:07,300 --> 00:54:08,400
It's like you live it out at 
home. 

844
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:10,500
Amen. 
Make you try to get out your 

845
00:54:10,500 --> 00:54:12,900
Bible and do devotion and make 
it really short. 

846
00:54:12,900 --> 00:54:16,000
Come on somebody. 
Make it fun, do some fun stuff. 

847
00:54:16,100 --> 00:54:19,200
With your Bible, right? 
And just is pray with them and 

848
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:21,100
give them Jesus and it's been 
cool. 

849
00:54:21,100 --> 00:54:24,700
My family, I've been reading the
Bible with the my with the kids 

850
00:54:24,700 --> 00:54:27,000
but really just Jack, you know, 
and it's so cool. 

851
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:29,100
I taught them. 
The word of God is a sword and 

852
00:54:29,100 --> 00:54:31,800
he's like, dad's not sword a 
sword. 

853
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:33,900
He's just like, you know, just 
like does he understand what I'm

854
00:54:33,900 --> 00:54:35,300
saying? 
It's something that's a sword, 

855
00:54:35,300 --> 00:54:37,400
you know, this is the word of 
God is like and so I read the 

856
00:54:37,408 --> 00:54:39,500
verses to him showed him. 
Now I'm doing this or Jewels 

857
00:54:39,500 --> 00:54:42,100
with my boy Jack you know and 
you know he's only kindergarten 

858
00:54:42,100 --> 00:54:45,800
right so I'm like hey just go to
Mark you know 14 and he finds 

859
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:47,600
me. 
Mark 14 and boy, that guy found 

860
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:49,500
one like three seconds. 
I was like, dude, you mark that 

861
00:54:49,500 --> 00:54:52,300
you cheated or something, right?
I mean, it's crazy, but it's 

862
00:54:52,300 --> 00:54:53,800
cool seeing him. 
Pick up things of God. 

863
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:57,100
We actually finished the book of
Mark when the two nights ago, 

864
00:54:57,400 --> 00:55:00,100
read each chapter, and I just 
kind of picked up most nights, 

865
00:55:00,100 --> 00:55:02,100
you know, it just, but he was 
passionate about it, you know, 

866
00:55:02,300 --> 00:55:04,300
and he'd ask questions and 
halftime wouldn't listen, and we

867
00:55:04,300 --> 00:55:06,900
kind of gather, you know, just 
but just like push the things we

868
00:55:06,900 --> 00:55:09,900
got to pull things got being a 
witness at home and we could do 

869
00:55:09,900 --> 00:55:11,500
this with all people our lives, 
right? 

870
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:14,500
The great joys of his parents 
have seen her kids come to 

871
00:55:14,500 --> 00:55:15,900
Christ and follow Jesus. 
Amen. 

872
00:55:16,900 --> 00:55:18,500
So we'll cross any line for 
that. 

873
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:21,200
And so the route is were called 
across lines for every single 

874
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:23,700
person that's who God has called
us to be the church calls to me 

875
00:55:24,100 --> 00:55:26,000
throughout is this. 
We're not better than males. 

876
00:55:26,300 --> 00:55:27,400
We're just forgiving. 
Amen. 

877
00:55:28,100 --> 00:55:29,700
It's the real deal of difference
between me and my lost. 

878
00:55:29,700 --> 00:55:32,800
Brother is, I've been found. 
That's it, I'm not better than 

879
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:34,200
them. 
My poop still stinks. 

880
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:37,300
Come on somebody, right? 
Look, we're all skeletons 

881
00:55:37,300 --> 00:55:39,300
closet, all battles. 
We face all these things. 

882
00:55:39,300 --> 00:55:41,900
This isn't a prayer Perfection. 
It's a prayer of confession. 

883
00:55:42,300 --> 00:55:44,400
Like you're not like oh God I'm 
be perfect for you is like God, 

884
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:48,400
I'm forgiven and now we get the 
Tune to show another person. 

885
00:55:48,500 --> 00:55:50,400
Where the food is this? 
A God? 

886
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:51,900
But I've only God's grace. 
I'm alive. 

887
00:55:51,900 --> 00:55:53,700
Somebody God's grace, I've been 
changed. 

888
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:55,200
Don't you think about the thief 
on the cross? 

889
00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:58,700
This is how God's grace works. 
This is, this is the kind of 

890
00:55:58,700 --> 00:56:01,900
tourist centers that Jesus 
forgives thing about the thief 

891
00:56:01,900 --> 00:56:03,800
on the cross. 
Now I just can't wait to get to 

892
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:06,600
heaven and ask this man. 
How did you actually make it 

893
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:08,800
into heaven? 
Let me think about this, this 

894
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:13,100
thief on the cross. 
He was cussing in mocking Jesus 

895
00:56:13,500 --> 00:56:16,500
moments or minutes or maybe 
within an hour's. 

896
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:20,800
Of Jesus dying for our sins. 
He's cussing him with his friend

897
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:23,400
on the cross. 
And he like, he just got never 

898
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:26,400
prayed. 
Like, he didn't go to synagogue,

899
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:28,800
he didn't get baptized. 
Come on somebody. 

900
00:56:29,100 --> 00:56:31,300
He didn't read through the 
Septuagint, memorize the Bible 

901
00:56:31,300 --> 00:56:33,400
at the Pharisees did, they 
didn't memorize first five books

902
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:37,200
of the Bible, he never gave, he 
never served a cup of cold water

903
00:56:37,300 --> 00:56:40,800
and the name of God, he didn't 
go out and lead a movement. 

904
00:56:40,900 --> 00:56:44,000
He didn't show up on a Sunday or
Saturday at that point. 

905
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:45,400
He didn't sacrifice in the 
system. 

906
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:48,300
He was a criminal All this guy 
probably ever prayed for ate a 

907
00:56:48,300 --> 00:56:50,200
meal. 
Yeah. 

908
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:53,100
How in the world did he get in? 
Now think about this part of the

909
00:56:53,100 --> 00:56:54,800
angel pie asking to showed up, 
right? 

910
00:56:55,100 --> 00:56:58,400
Like he dies like Easter Sunday 
and Angels like what are you 

911
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:02,300
doing here? 
What are you doing? 

912
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:07,400
I don't know. 
Here. 

913
00:57:08,100 --> 00:57:10,900
Well, how'd you get here? 
I don't know. 

914
00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:14,500
You don't know you ever prayed 
or you follow God? 

915
00:57:14,500 --> 00:57:17,800
I I don't know that. 
Let me get my supervisor Angel, 

916
00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:19,900
right? 
Let's pump this up the pipeline 

917
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:22,100
figure. 
This out, this one's hard cases.

918
00:57:22,300 --> 00:57:24,000
So, Here Comes This Archangel. 
Right. 

919
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:25,700
It's like, hey, what's your 
name? 

920
00:57:25,700 --> 00:57:29,300
I'm just a thief on the cross. 
Oh, well, how'd you get here? 

921
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:31,900
I don't know. 
Well, you clearly understand the

922
00:57:31,908 --> 00:57:35,000
doctrine of justification 
through faith in Christ, huh. 

923
00:57:35,500 --> 00:57:37,100
Did you believe in the inerrancy
of Sure. 

924
00:57:39,500 --> 00:57:41,100
You believe in the dwell in the 
Holy Spirit. 

925
00:57:41,100 --> 00:57:42,400
You're sealed. 
Always put her promise and a 

926
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:48,100
Redemption. 
But what basis why allow you to 

927
00:57:48,100 --> 00:57:50,700
come into heaven? 
I love it all. 

928
00:57:50,700 --> 00:57:54,000
The thief on the cross have to 
say is the man little cross said

929
00:57:54,300 --> 00:57:57,700
I could come. 
That's the only thing folks. 

930
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:04,700
The only qualification is that 
Jesus said you could come, I 

931
00:58:04,700 --> 00:58:08,100
love what Jesus does here in his
dying breath. 

932
00:58:08,700 --> 00:58:13,700
When we mankind humanity is 
crucifying them jamming sword 

933
00:58:13,700 --> 00:58:19,200
into feeding given vinegar. 
Mocking him was bleeding and 

934
00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:24,200
suffocating a died about to take
on the sins of all Humanity. 

935
00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:27,000
Here's the heart of God as it 
Lily bleeds for us. 

936
00:58:28,700 --> 00:58:32,600
Today, you'll be with me in 
Paradise to the most notorious 

937
00:58:33,100 --> 00:58:37,000
sinner in that day. 
Come on somebody. 

938
00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:40,100
That's the grace of God. 
And for those of us are like, 

939
00:58:40,100 --> 00:58:41,900
I'm not good enough and God 
never loved me. 

940
00:58:41,900 --> 00:58:44,500
And I mean, if God knew what I 
did, oh, bro, he knows what you 

941
00:58:44,508 --> 00:58:45,700
did. 
Come on somebody. 

942
00:58:46,500 --> 00:58:52,200
And he loves you to forgive you 
and where the words Jesus at his

943
00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:56,300
best, but what example, he says,
all these religious leaders are 

944
00:58:56,300 --> 00:59:00,700
crucifying Jesus and Jesus is 
Bringing people with him to 

945
00:59:00,700 --> 00:59:01,800
Heaven. 
Is there. 

946
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:04,200
No. 
Greater example of what it is to

947
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:08,800
be as a Christian to look no 
further than the cross dying. 

948
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:11,200
Breaths. 
He still bringing people with 

949
00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:12,900
it. 
What do you think our life is 

950
00:59:12,900 --> 00:59:15,800
called to be like do you think 
Jesus died? 

951
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:17,700
So you could have the American 
dream and then on the side you 

952
00:59:17,700 --> 00:59:21,000
can go to church. 
You think Jesus died. 

953
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:23,700
So you can have your way and 
then if come somehow to 

954
00:59:23,707 --> 00:59:26,100
spiritually, that's cool. 
I'm one day. 

955
00:59:26,100 --> 00:59:28,100
We got a fast forward to going 
to heaven and we're going to 

956
00:59:28,107 --> 00:59:31,400
meet this guy named Paul. 
We all know Paul, right. 

957
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:33,400
We've been a church. 
We preached on that stuff, all 

958
00:59:33,400 --> 00:59:36,000
get the church you learn about 
Paula but the reality is we 

959
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:37,600
might we're going to be 
following day and say man, it 

960
00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:39,200
was incredible, what you did for
the gospel. 

961
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:41,300
He's going to tell us some 
stories man. 

962
00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:43,800
I'm with the Bible is not 
recording all these credible 

963
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:45,900
stories but he's it's about, we 
on the road to Damascus. 

964
00:59:45,900 --> 00:59:47,300
He was persecuting Christians. 
Right? 

965
00:59:47,300 --> 00:59:49,600
Who's passionate right? 
He was Hebrew. 

966
00:59:49,700 --> 00:59:52,700
Ooh, Hebrews, and he was killing
Christians, and maybe how he's 

967
00:59:52,700 --> 00:59:55,500
scared to death of. 
And Jesus talked to him and he 

968
00:59:55,500 --> 00:59:57,800
skills are as eyes. 
And he thought I was gonna die. 

969
00:59:58,000 --> 00:59:59,900
You got poop my pants. 
You just can't tell you this, 

970
00:59:59,900 --> 01:00:01,900
right? 
And then, then I'll scales fell 

971
01:00:01,900 --> 01:00:03,000
off. 
And he went to Jerusalem, and he

972
01:00:03,008 --> 01:00:05,000
doesn't die again because now 
the Christians are trying to 

973
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:06,900
kill him, right? 
This way, things are going to 

974
01:00:06,900 --> 01:00:10,100
kill him and so he jumps at your
gets the basket low down a wall,

975
01:00:10,200 --> 01:00:13,200
the cause of Christ, that he met
Jesus, and she just changed his 

976
01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:15,800
life. 
Like Lily had the conversation 

977
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:18,200
sat down like the, you know, 
Wilderness experience. 

978
01:00:18,700 --> 01:00:23,100
Let's put us all Jesus. 
And then I lived on Mission, he 

979
01:00:23,100 --> 01:00:26,200
would travel a missionary 
Journeys, and those doses call 

980
01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:29,300
was to leave. 
Were, is at to bring people the 

981
01:00:29,300 --> 01:00:32,400
gospel and really, to bring 
people to Jesus and how he go 

982
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:35,000
around the kind of known world 
that Mediterranean Sea on three 

983
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:38,000
different Journeys, not be 
Shipwrecked and how you get to 

984
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:41,400
preach the Kings and into 
Caesar, and all people are so 

985
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:43,700
close to coming to Christ and 
some of them did and had made 

986
01:00:43,700 --> 01:00:45,500
the gospel to Spain. 
And you start here addition to 

987
01:00:45,508 --> 01:00:47,900
people like hey here's some guys
at that led to Christ that God 

988
01:00:47,900 --> 01:00:50,300
used me just a small piece of 
store but hey this Is Timothy. 

989
01:00:50,300 --> 01:00:52,500
Come on somebody, write this 
book, you've heard him, right? 

990
01:00:52,500 --> 01:00:54,800
And then there's Titus and this 
is a Aquila and Priscilla and 

991
01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:58,200
its darkest darkest and these 
are all these people early 

992
01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:00,600
Christian face. 
All these guys who are high five

993
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:02,900
motor club, right? 
We're all killed for their 

994
01:01:02,900 --> 01:01:04,400
faith. 
This is, this is what we did, 

995
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:06,500
and this is where we went and 
pulls. 

996
01:01:06,500 --> 01:01:09,000
You told these stories, your sit
there and listen to him, like, 

997
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:12,800
man is so cool what you did. 
And then pausing to ask you, he 

998
01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:14,600
said, where did you go with the 
gospel? 

999
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:18,700
But what Ali did you go down 
what city did you reach? 

1000
01:01:18,700 --> 01:01:21,100
What church did you plan? 
What Bible said you start? 

1001
01:01:21,100 --> 01:01:24,900
Who's with you who'd, you bring,
who'd you grow where these 

1002
01:01:24,900 --> 01:01:27,100
people at. 
What was like how did you reach 

1003
01:01:27,100 --> 01:01:28,300
your city? 
What would you change? 

1004
01:01:28,300 --> 01:01:30,200
What? 
He shake up and Bellman room are

1005
01:01:30,200 --> 01:01:31,700
Cass County. 
What you do? 

1006
01:01:32,500 --> 01:01:35,600
Would you go? 
And the rally is this for so 

1007
01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:37,700
many Christians, especially 
American Christians. 

1008
01:01:38,300 --> 01:01:40,400
The answer is simply going to 
be, I went to church. 

1009
01:01:41,900 --> 01:01:49,800
I went to church. 
I don't know if Paul came to the

1010
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:51,800
Mountain church. 
I heard this recently America 

1011
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:53,600
here, I'd know letter. 
Come on somebody. 

1012
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:59,500
Somehow we've confused 
Christianity with a Sunday 

1013
01:01:59,500 --> 01:02:03,200
morning. 
Somehow we confuse that we bring

1014
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:05,000
people. 
That means that we show up and 

1015
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:07,800
if God, you know, just lifestyle
evangelism baby. 

1016
01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:11,800
It just happens bro. 
We fight uphill for the things 

1017
01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:14,000
of Christ, my mother's got a 
church. 

1018
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:15,000
So passion all things through 
Christ. 

1019
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:17,300
He said if God called me to 
reach my hands into a burning 

1020
01:02:17,300 --> 01:02:20,300
room and the fires of hell I'd 
grab somebody and pulling on my 

1021
01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:25,200
skit about off in a boy's the 
Vangelis for Christ. 

1022
01:02:25,700 --> 01:02:29,300
I'm not saying to be that We're 
all called to be an evangelist, 

1023
01:02:29,300 --> 01:02:32,000
a men, like you think it's a 
happened. 

1024
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:33,600
Change that God's put me in 
these moments. 

1025
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:38,100
And if your life is hard season 
right now because on display for

1026
01:02:38,100 --> 01:02:41,500
you to tell the people, hey, you
know, this is nothing because 

1027
01:02:41,500 --> 01:02:43,800
I'm forgiven, this is, this is 
nothing. 

1028
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:45,800
This is temporary, man. 
I'm about to walked in on the 

1029
01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:50,100
wrapped up and this perhaps that
this is God just showing off and

1030
01:02:50,100 --> 01:02:51,600
I want to help you see what God 
has. 

1031
01:02:51,900 --> 01:02:54,400
Your story is the most powerful 
thing you could ever share. 

1032
01:02:55,100 --> 01:02:57,000
That's what you're going to do. 
This were called to. 

1033
01:02:57,008 --> 01:02:59,100
This is A new service. 
You know, something we set out 

1034
01:02:59,100 --> 01:03:00,600
today? 
Did you like? 

1035
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:03,300
This is a scattering of the 
Gathering, right? 

1036
01:03:03,700 --> 01:03:07,100
Like, we're not going to come 
back alone and just invest in 

1037
01:03:07,100 --> 01:03:08,700
people. 
I love the strategies Redemptive

1038
01:03:08,700 --> 01:03:11,500
relationships people that you 
every person in your life, who 

1039
01:03:11,500 --> 01:03:14,100
has see as a relationship that 
God put there for you to be a 

1040
01:03:14,100 --> 01:03:15,500
part of their Redemption. 
Amen. 

1041
01:03:16,500 --> 01:03:19,700
That's that every person, every 
person including your family 

1042
01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:23,500
including your lost family guys,
put you there to be ridiculous 

1043
01:03:23,500 --> 01:03:25,300
ship. 
The second thing is to invest in

1044
01:03:25,300 --> 01:03:27,300
the night, every person in your 
life. 

1045
01:03:27,500 --> 01:03:30,500
If you can simply just invest 
in, you know, don't be that 

1046
01:03:30,700 --> 01:03:32,700
weird old preacher that goes out
and bangs on door starts telling

1047
01:03:32,700 --> 01:03:35,200
about going to hell, right? 
Everything's about of Angel. 

1048
01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:37,900
Investing start preaching on a 
street corner, dumb, talk about 

1049
01:03:37,900 --> 01:03:40,800
stand next to somebody else at 
the soccer game and saying, hey,

1050
01:03:40,800 --> 01:03:43,500
man, I've been noticing all the 
games are so passionate about 

1051
01:03:43,500 --> 01:03:44,700
stuff. 
And what's your story? 

1052
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:48,300
That's all I'm asking you to do.
I'm asking to be a weirdo, come 

1053
01:03:48,300 --> 01:03:52,100
on somebody, huh? 
But I am done asking me where to

1054
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:57,400
Please share Jesus, broken 
people find things that are 

1055
01:03:57,400 --> 01:03:59,300
broken. 
They want them in. 

1056
01:03:59,300 --> 01:04:02,700
Jesus is a solution in Jesus, 
has the answer in Jesus 

1057
01:04:02,700 --> 01:04:05,800
forgives, and Jesus loves Jesus 
instead, Iraq. 

1058
01:04:05,900 --> 01:04:06,900
You'll have to have your life 
together. 

1059
01:04:06,900 --> 01:04:09,500
To tell us about Jesus, many 
people came to Christ in his 

1060
01:04:09,500 --> 01:04:12,100
last year of this church came 
from people, their lives are so 

1061
01:04:12,100 --> 01:04:14,000
jacked up, people couldn't 
believe their following Jesus, 

1062
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:17,000
and that's why they sleep. 
All right, I'm just encourage 

1063
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:20,100
you this season in this moment. 
I believe God is calling us to 

1064
01:04:20,100 --> 01:04:21,500
be the kind of person that we 
get to heaven. 

1065
01:04:21,500 --> 01:04:23,500
We tell Paul. 
Hey, when I want you to know 

1066
01:04:23,500 --> 01:04:25,300
about, Down the room warm and 
God did some stuff. 

1067
01:04:25,300 --> 01:04:27,700
Thank you, Fellers, by the way, 
but I think God's derailleur 

1068
01:04:27,700 --> 01:04:29,900
through our church. 
I think God could do crib. 

1069
01:04:29,900 --> 01:04:32,900
So, through our church, we 
reached our city and Beyond we 

1070
01:04:32,900 --> 01:04:35,100
were going on Craigslist or 
churches and send people out 

1071
01:04:35,100 --> 01:04:37,100
because the spirit of God, just 
called Super Bowl with the 

1072
01:04:37,100 --> 01:04:40,200
gospel, and it didn't look like 
it did back then, but it looks 

1073
01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:42,800
like it does. 
Now we just give them, Jesus, 

1074
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:45,400
we're praying for people. 
So God does have a Revival in 

1075
01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:47,700
our city. 
This is this a story as we could

1076
01:04:47,700 --> 01:04:48,700
to write today. 
Amen. 

1077
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:52,000
That's the story that matters. 
That's the only story, The 

1078
01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:54,700
Ultimate matters so says in 
Romans 10:14. 

1079
01:04:54,700 --> 01:04:57,400
This is last scripture where had
her day, but it says this. 

1080
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:00,900
It says how then can they call 
on the one? 

1081
01:05:00,900 --> 01:05:03,700
Who the never believed in? 
How can they believe in the one?

1082
01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:07,700
Never heard. 
How in the world is the world 

1083
01:05:07,700 --> 01:05:10,200
going to know about Jesus? 
They don't hear the good news of

1084
01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:14,200
Jesus from somebody's been 
changed by Jesus and how can 

1085
01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:16,300
they hear without someone 
preaching to them, sharing the 

1086
01:05:16,300 --> 01:05:19,200
good news of the Gospel, not 
going to preach unless they're 

1087
01:05:19,200 --> 01:05:23,500
sent by God as it is written. 
How beautiful are the feet of 

1088
01:05:23,500 --> 01:05:27,800
those who bring good news. 
God is giving you beautiful 

1089
01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:31,900
feet, come on, somebody to bring
the good news of the gospel and 

1090
01:05:31,900 --> 01:05:34,500
today is a sending service, but 
that means is I'm going to 

1091
01:05:34,500 --> 01:05:38,000
invite you guys to say As the 
holy spirit of God to play a 

1092
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:40,200
part of the story of bringing 
people to Jesus, not just 

1093
01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:42,600
bringing people to hear, but 
being a witness or your ad. 

1094
01:05:42,600 --> 01:05:45,300
I'm just believing God's use 
your church every single day. 

1095
01:05:45,500 --> 01:05:49,300
This next year and Beyond to 
throw a party in heaven. 

1096
01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:52,900
You guys ready for this? 
Be part of the story of what 

1097
01:05:52,900 --> 01:05:55,200
Jesus is going to write as 
believe in God. 

1098
01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:56,600
You do something credible 
through us. 

1099
01:05:57,200 --> 01:05:59,800
The name of Jesus. 
I'm going to cross some lines 

1100
01:06:00,100 --> 01:06:03,800
and stop at nothing to bring the
good news of the Gospel to bring

1101
01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:07,100
people to him. 
Probably come before you You got

thank you for what you did to us
for us. 

1103
01:06:09,500 --> 01:06:11,100
You stopped at nothing to get to
us. 

1104
01:06:11,100 --> 01:06:14,100
You brought us with you, even 
your dying breath. 

1105
01:06:14,100 --> 01:06:16,900
He forgave sins of the worst of 
the worst and since the day God,

1106
01:06:16,900 --> 01:06:20,400
we play a part of your story and
Son prayed for those today that 

1107
01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:23,400
say yes to Jesus. 
I feel like spirit of God for 

1108
01:06:23,400 --> 01:06:28,400
the call of God that was sent 
out as a messenger as a as a 

1109
01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:31,500
basa der than my life was more 
than just a video game, or a 

1110
01:06:31,500 --> 01:06:34,900
sport, or a school or work. 
My game is on a mission. 

1111
01:06:35,100 --> 01:06:36,100
There's relationships in my 
life. 

1112
01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:39,600
That I'm going to do my best to 
share, Jesus with and pray for, 

1113
01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:41,900
and care for, and invest in the 
Vite. 

1114
01:06:41,900 --> 01:06:44,400
So this year, it's just all in 
for Jesus. 

1115
01:06:44,600 --> 01:06:46,100
I don't see. 
God reached my family and my 

1116
01:06:46,100 --> 01:06:48,800
community Beyond I was going to 
play the part of the story and 

1117
01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:51,100
maybe for some of us, we think, 
Matt, I just been going to 

1118
01:06:51,100 --> 01:06:54,100
church today. 
I want to change that store and 

1119
01:06:54,100 --> 01:06:55,000
I go to heaven. 
So you know what? 

1120
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:56,600
I want all across the place. 
I'm at a you were. 

1121
01:06:56,600 --> 01:06:58,400
God brought me. 
So they had that. 

1122
01:06:58,400 --> 01:07:01,600
You feel like God is asking to 
be sent out this year and bring 

1123
01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:03,200
people to Jesus. 
I have a look around, you'll 

1124
01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:05,700
lose your hand high, and that's 
me when playing the part of the 

1125
01:07:05,700 --> 01:07:08,000
story. 
Three kids all across the place.

1126
01:07:08,400 --> 01:07:12,500
Father God, see the hands into 
the hearts God to use us got as 

1127
01:07:12,500 --> 01:07:16,100
missionaries. 
God uses us as Messengers guys. 

1128
01:07:16,100 --> 01:07:18,500
Ambassadors for you. 
God to do every part of our life

1129
01:07:18,500 --> 01:07:20,900
is a Ministry. 
God is not Sunday morning. 

1130
01:07:20,900 --> 01:07:22,100
God. 
Help us to be the church. 

1131
01:07:22,100 --> 01:07:24,900
Not go to church. 
God help us to serve you and 

1132
01:07:24,900 --> 01:07:27,200
give us strength. 
God, that really church starts. 

1133
01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:29,700
Now it just lasts or entire 
lives. 

1134
01:07:29,700 --> 01:07:32,100
Got so ever, we go governed 
bring the church with us and 

1135
01:07:32,100 --> 01:07:34,000
we're inviting people into the 
fold. 

1136
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:35,900
You're buying lost, brothers and
sisters. 

1137
01:07:36,200 --> 01:07:37,900
Look down on. 
Nobody got were no different 

1138
01:07:37,900 --> 01:07:39,100
than then that could have been 
us. 

1139
01:07:39,300 --> 01:07:41,400
It was us. 
And so God, give us a 

1140
01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:43,300
mouthpiece. 
That's both of the Gospel. 

1141
01:07:43,500 --> 01:07:46,500
Let's pray, big prayers and love
on people and see you change 

1142
01:07:47,500 --> 01:07:49,500
paper, a group. 
People in those of you that had 

1143
01:07:49,500 --> 01:07:53,000
recognized, you're not the thief
on the cross but you can relate 

1144
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:55,700
to a thief on the cross, but you
walked in a day and you thought 

1145
01:07:55,700 --> 01:07:57,900
mean I've really done nothing 
spiritual, but I feel the power 

1146
01:07:57,900 --> 01:08:00,700
of God and I feel like I need to
hear the words of God today, 

1147
01:08:00,700 --> 01:08:03,200
that you can come, you can come 
home today. 

1148
01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:06,000
I recognize that Jesus died for 
me, he loved me. 

1149
01:08:06,100 --> 01:08:08,000
Today on your relationship with 
Jesus. 

1150
01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:11,400

own way but today, recognize I 

1151

father in Heaven is waiting and

embrace me say I love you and 

1153

say, welcome home, and throw a 
party today in heaven. 

1154
01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:25,200
And so today, if you need Jesus 
would I be looking around? 

1155

That's you Davies. 
Raise your hand high in his 

1156
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:28,600

1185

some red bags and each of those 

1186
01:09:49,600 --> 01:09:52,500
bags is a Bible and you can just
take one of those home with you.

1187
01:09:53,100 --> 01:09:56,400
Just dive into God's word, man. 
Just see what he has for you 

1188
01:09:56,400 --> 01:09:58,100

again, I can't stress enough how

1190
01:10:02,500 --> 01:10:06,100
excited we are for you. 
If you made that decision today,

1191
01:10:06,200 --> 01:10:09,900
you know, Sean just got done 
challenging us to really stop at

1192
01:10:09,900 --> 01:10:14,300
nothing to bring people to 
Jesus, I want to give you some 

1193
01:10:14,300 --> 01:10:16,700
steps. 
You can take starting today, 

1194
01:10:16,700 --> 01:10:19,500
actually. 
So tonight is a really cool 

1195
01:10:19,500 --> 01:10:22,500
opportunity. 
If you are a teen or if you're a

1196
01:10:22,600 --> 01:10:25,700
A parent that has a teen. 
And of course as you can see 

1197
01:10:25,700 --> 01:10:29,000
right here, this this glorious 
image, it's nugget night 

1198
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:30,600
tonight. 
How cool does that sound? 

1199
01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:33,800
And you know, I am a little bit 
bummed I see the cut off his 

1200
01:10:33,800 --> 01:10:36,100
12th grade. 
I was trying to Lobby to maybe 

1201
01:10:36,100 --> 01:10:39,100
push that up a little bit for 
some other nuggets fans like 

1202
01:10:39,100 --> 01:10:41,700
myself, but they they stress, 
you know, teens only. 

1203
01:10:41,700 --> 01:10:44,400
So you got to respect that. 
But if you've never checked out 

1204
01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:48,400
life group before what an 
awesome opportunity to dive in 

1205
01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:51,100
tonight, it's a great group. 
Full of awesome people. 

1206
01:10:51,100 --> 01:10:52,500
You're going to hear a gospel 
message. 

1207
01:10:52,700 --> 01:10:55,000
It's straight from the Bible are
going to have so much fun, 

1208
01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:56,700
you're going to eat. 
There's literally going to be 

1209
01:10:56,700 --> 01:10:59,600
like hundreds and hundreds of 
nuggets is what I've been told. 

1210
01:10:59,600 --> 01:11:02,200
And I'm sure the dipping sauces 
will be a plenty. 

1211
01:11:02,400 --> 01:11:05,400
So you'll want to be there. 
And we would just love to see 

1212
01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:09,000
you guys there at 6:00 tonight 
at The Hope Center. 

1213
01:11:09,100 --> 01:11:11,000
And then I can't even believe 
we're saying. 

1214
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:13,200
This already feels like the new 
year was just behind us. 

1215
01:11:13,200 --> 01:11:16,100
We're only three weeks away from
Easter. 

1216
01:11:16,100 --> 01:11:18,500
Can you believe that? 
And so, yeah, man. 

1217
01:11:18,500 --> 01:11:22,400
Easter is awesome and, and just 
really continuing that idea of 

1218
01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:26,700
bringing Bringing people, what a
better time to do that Easter at

1219
01:11:26,700 --> 01:11:28,300
Real Life Church, really 
excited. 

1220
01:11:28,300 --> 01:11:32,700
Just to celebrate all that Jesus
did for us, you know, we could 

1221
01:11:32,700 --> 01:11:36,800
live a thousand lifetimes and 
never match his glory. 

1222
01:11:36,800 --> 01:11:40,600
We could never do anything to 
get the gift of Salvation to 

1223
01:11:40,600 --> 01:11:43,700
earn it ourselves. 
It's because of his free gift, 

1224
01:11:43,700 --> 01:11:46,300
it's because of his grace and 
his mercy and we get to 

1225
01:11:46,300 --> 01:11:50,000
celebrate that in a huge way. 
And so we're really excited to 

1226
01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:52,500
just open the space up for 
three. 

1227
01:11:52,700 --> 01:11:55,500
Gatherings on Easter morning, 
that's going to give more 

1228
01:11:55,500 --> 01:11:59,300
opportunities for more people to
find time in their schedule to 

1229
01:11:59,300 --> 01:12:01,500
come out here. 
That's going to just equip our 

1230
01:12:01,500 --> 01:12:04,400
children's ministry to have more
room for more. 

1231
01:12:04,400 --> 01:12:08,000
Kids, just come out and have a 
great time, so get excited. 

1232
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:11,600
If you're not already and be 
praying over who you can just be

1233
01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:15,400
bringing out to Easter at real 
life, Church's cards on your 

1234
01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:19,000
seat and then also. 
So the kids are going to be 

1235
01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:22,000
bringing home cards as well too,
and they're going to get a 

1236
01:12:22,008 --> 01:12:25,400
special A prize, if any of our 
kids, bring a friend on that 

1237
01:12:25,400 --> 01:12:27,100
morning. 
So make sure you let them know 

1238
01:12:27,100 --> 01:12:29,300
about that. 
There's going to be Easter egg 

1239
01:12:29,300 --> 01:12:31,900
hunts that each of the three 
Gatherings. 

1240
01:12:31,900 --> 01:12:33,800
How cool is that? 
They're going to leave here with

1241
01:12:33,800 --> 01:12:35,900
eggs, full of toys, and all 
sorts of stuff. 

1242
01:12:35,900 --> 01:12:37,800
And of course they're going to 
hear about the real reason. 

1243
01:12:37,800 --> 01:12:41,000
It's not about the bunny, right?
They're going to hear about a 

1244
01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:43,600
God who loves them by sending 
his son Jesus. 

1245
01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:46,800
Now, there's so many cool things
that are happening that morning 

1246
01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:49,300
and you can tell it's going to 
be a whole lot of fun, but I 

1247
01:12:49,300 --> 01:12:52,600
mean, I think maybe just the 
cherry on top of all that is. 

1248
01:12:52,600 --> 01:12:56,000
We also get to celebrate 
baptisms. 

1249
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:59,800
Who's excited for another round 
of bad's isms at Real Life 

1250
01:12:59,800 --> 01:13:02,300
Church, man? 
That's what that's just like the

1251
01:13:02,300 --> 01:13:06,100
lifeblood of what we do. 
It's just that celebration of 

1252
01:13:06,100 --> 01:13:09,300
everyone who's made these 
decisions and so maybe I'm 

1253
01:13:09,300 --> 01:13:11,900
talking to you right now. 
Maybe you have made that 

1254
01:13:11,900 --> 01:13:15,200
decision for Christ over these 
last several weeks or months 

1255
01:13:15,200 --> 01:13:18,600
since the last time we've done 
baptisms and you're ready to 

1256
01:13:18,600 --> 01:13:20,300
make that bold statement of 
faith. 

1257
01:13:20,300 --> 01:13:23,100
And I just encourage you. 
If that's you Get on the 

1258
01:13:23,100 --> 01:13:26,800
website, Real Life, Church 
kc.com, and sign up for baptism.

1259
01:13:26,800 --> 01:13:29,000
Or maybe you've just been kind 
of wondering what that looks 

1260
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:30,900
like. 
Go ahead and do that even if 

1261
01:13:30,900 --> 01:13:32,700
you're not so sure. 
Because we would love to reach 

1262
01:13:32,700 --> 01:13:36,300
out to you hear your story and 
just help you on that next step 

1263
01:13:36,300 --> 01:13:38,600
of your journey. 
So be excited to be praying 

1264
01:13:38,600 --> 01:13:42,300
about this. 
Baptism Sunday on Easter. 

1265
01:13:42,600 --> 01:13:45,900
Well guys, everything that 
happens at Real Life Church is 

1266

your generosity makes a huge 

1267
01:13:49,900 --> 01:13:51,700
difference. 
Here's a real practical way that

1268
01:13:51,700 --> 01:13:55,500
it's making Difference in this 
season, your generosity is 

1269
01:13:55,500 --> 01:13:59,400
funding, a flyer, a mailer is a 
better way of saying that a male

1270
01:13:59,400 --> 01:14:02,700
or that's going out to twenty 
thousand houses in this 

1271
01:14:02,700 --> 01:14:06,200
surrounding area, just letting 
people know, hey, we're here. 

1272
01:14:06,400 --> 01:14:09,100
We're for you. 
There's a God who loves you and 

1273
01:14:09,100 --> 01:14:12,900
we just want to help you connect
with him by connecting with 

1274
01:14:12,900 --> 01:14:16,300
other believers and people who 
are just supportive of you and

1278
01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:29,100

Again thanks for being here. 
And number two, we're not going 

1281
01:14:35,200 --> 01:14:38,600

In fact, we want something for 

1282
01:14:38,600 --> 01:14:41,600
you, not something from you.
