00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:18,100
Now we've is Fielding in our 
Christ. 

17
00:05:18,700 --> 00:05:24,200
What a beautiful name. 
It is what a beautiful name in 

18
00:05:25,700 --> 00:05:33,000
the name of Jesus Christ. 
What? 

19
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,700
A beautiful name. 
It is. 

20
00:05:36,700 --> 00:05:43,200
Nothing compares to this. 
What a beautiful name it is the 

21
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:59,500
name of Jesus. 
Did he what his name is Jesus. 

22
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:22,500
She was great love was great. 
What a wonderful name is good. 

23
00:06:57,100 --> 00:07:00,900
We were still Sinners are seeing
was great. 

24
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,900
I gave you ultimate sacrifice 
and sent his son Jesus to die, 

25
00:07:05,900 --> 00:07:10,100
on the cross to forgive us of 
all of our sins, all of our 

26
00:07:10,100 --> 00:07:23,700
death, Serving and loving and 
God he was So Graceful to prop 

27
00:07:27,500 --> 00:07:30,900
my response to that is just so 
that's it. 

28
00:08:19,000 --> 00:10:27,400
George. 
There we go, man. 

29
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,200
I'd love to hear you guys 
worship. 

30
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,200
You just a beautiful thing just 
to hear you guys. 

31
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,900
Praise the beautiful name of 
God, right? 

32
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,800
Can we get him for god? 
Let's hear it, you know. 

33
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,500
Today we're going to slow down. 
We're walking into the week that

34
00:10:42,500 --> 00:10:47,100
precedes Easter and it's just a 
time to remember why we call his

35
00:10:47,100 --> 00:10:47,900
name. 
Beautiful. 

36
00:10:47,900 --> 00:10:50,000
It's what he did for us. 
It's what he gave up. 

37
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,300
And so we're going to do 
something and we're going to 

38
00:10:52,308 --> 00:10:54,100
have a time of remember. 
So we're going to do that 

39
00:10:54,100 --> 00:10:55,400
through something called 
communion. 

40
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,200
So you guys could take a moment 
and have a seat as we as we 

41
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:03,800
prepare our hearts. 
So about two thousand years ago,

42
00:11:04,500 --> 00:11:07,400
Jesus was walking into his 
passion week, you guys notice 

43
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,800
The Passion of the Christ in his
a week, full of suffering and 

44
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,300
pain. 
But he did it with a purpose and

45
00:11:14,300 --> 00:11:17,500
he did it with the boldness and 
he did it with faith willingness

46
00:11:18,300 --> 00:11:20,900
and he went through that pain 
and suffering to bring the 

47
00:11:20,900 --> 00:11:25,300
Perfect final sacrifice that 
allows us to call allows us to 

48
00:11:25,300 --> 00:11:27,700
be called forgiving. 
And you did that because he 

49
00:11:27,700 --> 00:11:31,400
loves us, he wants to establish 
a relationship and bring us. 

50
00:11:31,500 --> 00:11:35,200
Us back into his kingdom. 
And so I want to start off by 

51
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,400
reading a few chapters or not 
few chapters. 

52
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,600
A few verses from a prophet 
named Isaiah and Isaiah 

53
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,900
prophesied about what the 
Messiah would do in. 

54
00:11:43,900 --> 00:11:46,800
Jesus was a filled these words 
so read with me and Isaiah 

55
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:51,300
chapter, 53 says, but he was 
pierced for our transgressions 

56
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,400
and I want to pause there for 
just a second. 

57
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,600
When I when you hear the word 
pierced, I want you guys to 

58
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,800
think of the nails that went in 
Jesus, hands and feet in the 

59
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,200
spear. 
That went in a side. 

60
00:12:01,100 --> 00:12:04,500
This case. 
A cost, and he was crushed for 

61
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:09,000
our iniquities. 
Iniquity is think of this, it's 

62
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,400
our sin. 
It's everything that we've done 

63
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,300
wrong, it's everything, that 
we've turned to the left when we

64
00:12:14,300 --> 00:12:16,500
should have gone, right. 
The things that God has called 

65
00:12:16,500 --> 00:12:20,300
us to do and we turn our back on
it and we didn't pursue those 

66
00:12:20,300 --> 00:12:23,200
things. 
He says the punishment that 

67
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:28,400
brought us peace was on him. 
And by his wounds, we are healed

68
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,100
by the thing that Jesus went 
through. 

69
00:12:30,300 --> 00:12:34,600
We have our salvation and we all
like sheep have gone astray. 

70
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:39,800
Each of us has turned to our own
way and the lord has laid on 

71
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,300
him. 
The iniquity of us, all Jesus 

72
00:12:42,300 --> 00:12:47,800
bore our transgressions, the 
things that we did our personal 

73
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:52,600
health, God placed on Jesus, In 
This Moment In This crucifixion,

74
00:12:53,300 --> 00:12:56,900
and he continues in 53:12. 
He says this. 

75
00:12:56,900 --> 00:12:59,800
He says, he poured out his life 
unto death and he was numbered 

76
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,900
with the transgressors, the It's
endless Lamb of God, was hung 

77
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,200
between two guys that were 
thieves. 

78
00:13:08,500 --> 00:13:11,700
He was there as a common 
criminal, that's what he was 

79
00:13:11,700 --> 00:13:15,100
numbered with for. 
He bore the sin, the sins of 

80
00:13:15,100 --> 00:13:18,900
many and made intercession for 
the transgressors and who the 

81
00:13:18,900 --> 00:13:21,700
transgressors are. 
We'd like to put our fingers at 

82
00:13:21,700 --> 00:13:23,100
everybody else has done 
something wrong. 

83
00:13:23,100 --> 00:13:27,400
But really the transgressors. 
Are you and me each one of us 

84
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,400
has our part of why Jesus had to
do what he did. 

85
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:35,000
And again, he did it willingly. 
So communion really is a time of

86
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,600
remembrance and Jesus 
instituted. 

87
00:13:36,700 --> 00:13:39,200
It isn't gave this to us. 
It's an ordinance of the church.

88
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,400
It's not a Sacrament, it doesn't
save. 

89
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:45,400
It doesn't give us extra Grace 
but it's a symbol of what Jesus 

90
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:49,200
did in his body giving up a 
broken body and his blood. 

91
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,800
So they're symbols. 
And so would you guys stand with

92
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:53,700
me? 
We're going to read a couple 

93
00:13:53,700 --> 00:13:55,600
more scriptures in a minute and 
I'm going to invite the 

94
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,700
community to come forward, but 
close your eyes for a minute. 

95
00:13:57,700 --> 00:14:01,800
And this is a moment between you
and God settle your hearts. 

96
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,800
Know that this is something that
was done for you. 

97
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,700
He's God cares about you, God 
loves you. 

98
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,200
You guys continue reading with 
me Paul in Corinthians, chapter 

99
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:22,600
11, 23 24. 
This is in the, this is the 

100
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,700
night before Jesus, crucifixion.
It's his last moments, he's in 

101
00:14:25,700 --> 00:14:27,600
the upper room. 
It's the last supper is with his

102
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,400
disciples. 
It says this that the Lord Jesus

103
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,500
on the night. 
He was betrayed took bread. 

104
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,600
And when he had given thanks, he
broke it. 

105
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,400
And said, this is my body, which
is for you. 

106
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:43,000
Do this in remembrance of me. 
Me in this mist of the Last 

107
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,500
Supper, the last time that he 
was going to spend time together

108
00:14:45,500 --> 00:14:49,000
with the people that the guys 
that had followed him and been 

109
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,300
with him for the last three 
years. 

110
00:14:50,300 --> 00:14:52,000
This is the last thing that he's
telling them. 

111
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,700
And a few short hours, Jesus 
would ultimately go through 

112
00:14:56,700 --> 00:14:59,600
something that none of us can 
even imagine his body was 

113
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,400
broken. 
His beard was ripped out. 

114
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,400
A crown of thorns was shoved 
onto his head. 

115
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,400
He was beaten with a whip, That 
wasn't just a whip. 

116
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,100
It was a whipped filled with 
glass with rock. 

117
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,700
Ultimately he was nailed a stew 
that cross he was tortured in 

118
00:15:15,700 --> 00:15:19,000
that week. 
All because of our 

119
00:15:19,008 --> 00:15:22,700
transgressions but more 
importantly, because he loved us

120
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:28,300
and it continues in verse 25. 
It says this in the same way. 

121
00:15:28,300 --> 00:15:31,700
After supper, he took the cup 
saying this cup is the New 

122
00:15:31,700 --> 00:15:35,600
Covenant in my blood. 
Do this whenever you drink it in

123
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:40,200
remembrance of me. 
This is the, this is the last 

124
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,200
part of it. 
Jesus shed blood was the final 

125
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,300
payment. 
It was the final sacrifice. 

126
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,500
It was the culmination of the 
whole sacrificial system. 

127
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:50,800
The Jews had in the Old 
Testament because they would 

128
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,700
come to Jerusalem to sacrifice 
and their sins were covered 

129
00:15:54,700 --> 00:15:58,600
temporarily by the sacrifice of 
whatever animal they were 

130
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,500
sacrificing, but Jesus shed 
blood was the final, perfect 

131
00:16:02,500 --> 00:16:05,600
sacrifice that took away the 
Brokenness to hurt the 

132
00:16:05,608 --> 00:16:07,400
iniquities. 
The transgressions that we had 

133
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:08,200
our lives. 
Yes. 

134
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,200
And now we become forgiven. 
We're called redeemed were 

135
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,100
called Sons and Daughters 
because of Jesus blood. 

136
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,200
One of the last things that 
Jesus says in Matthew 26:28. 

137
00:16:20,500 --> 00:16:23,500
So this is the blood of my 
Covenant, which is poured out 

138
00:16:23,500 --> 00:16:25,400
for the many for the Forgiveness
of sins. 

139
00:16:26,300 --> 00:16:28,200
This is where our for 
forgiveness, comes from the New 

140
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,500
Covenant. 
We're no longer those 

141
00:16:30,500 --> 00:16:32,800
transgressors. 
We are no those longer. 

142
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,800
The lost sheep, we can be called
the family of God, because of 

143
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,700
what he did for us. 
So this moment is time of 

144
00:16:40,708 --> 00:16:46,200
communion are for those of us 
that have follow Jesus have put 

145
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,900
him first called him Lord. 
And so, this time of 

146
00:16:49,900 --> 00:16:52,900
remembrance, it's time of 
humility at the time of 

147
00:16:52,900 --> 00:16:55,400
thankfulness. 
So in a short moment, I'm going 

148
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,900
to pray and we're gonna have you
guys. 

149
00:16:57,900 --> 00:17:00,100
After I pray come down your 
Center aisles. 

150
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,600
What you'll do is, you'll take a
bread, you'll dip it either in 

151
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:06,200
the wine or the grape juice and 
you'll eat this in remembrance 

152
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,900
of what Jesus did for you. 
You so, would you guys take this

153
00:17:09,900 --> 00:17:16,000
moment and pray with me, Father,
we come before you and got, we 

154
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,099
read the words that we read your
scriptures and we understand 

155
00:17:19,099 --> 00:17:23,599
what Jesus went through, but 
it's still hard for our hearts 

156
00:17:23,599 --> 00:17:27,000
and our minds to comprehend. 
Just the love that put him 

157
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,400
there. 
The perfect sinless, Lamb of 

158
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,900
God, who did no wrong. 
The creator of the universe, the

159
00:17:32,900 --> 00:17:35,800
one that has set. 
The foundations of the universe 

160

Born and lived a perfect life 

161
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,300
just to redeem us. 
Make us whole. 

162
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:48,800

be. 

180
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:54,800

In the crushing, in the

I came here with nothing, but 

188
00:24:22,700 --> 00:24:35,700

reminder communion is on this 

191
00:24:59,500 --> 00:25:03,600
Palm Sunday because that wine or
that grape juice that we just 

192
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,600
have with the bread that blood 
that was spilt on the cross. 

193
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:11,200
It happened on Friday, right, 
but we know the story, we know 

194
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,600
what happened three days later. 
Resurrection. 

195
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,700
Sunday morning, Jesus rose. 
As from the grave and conquered 

196
00:25:16,700 --> 00:25:20,200
death. 
And that's what it's all about. 

197
00:25:20,300 --> 00:25:23,000
That's what we're celebrating 
next week on Easter Sunday and 

198
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,700

far from God, discover their 

236
00:27:22,900 --> 00:27:27,200
real life and purpose in Jesus, 
and that is the truth. 

237
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,000
We all have a purpose. 
Our souls were created for a 

238
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,700
reason but it is often times 
that we don't really know what 

239
00:27:32,700 --> 00:27:35,800
that purpose might be. 
And so we hope that through, you

started this year.

just trying to find people and 

243
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,200

We realize what that real life 

244
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,700

So we are concluding our bring 

245
00:27:49,700 --> 00:27:51,800

00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:58,200
to really, you know, especially 
as we look towards Easter Sunday

248
00:27:58,500 --> 00:28:01,000
thinking about those people in 
our circles in our communities, 

249
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,500
that need Jesus. 
Because the truth is the easiest

250
00:28:04,500 --> 00:28:07,200
thing that we can do is just get
them in the room. 

251
00:28:07,300 --> 00:28:09,900
God will do the work it. 
We plant the seeds, God will do 

252
00:28:09,900 --> 00:28:12,700
the watering and he's going to 
do that next Sunday for so many 

253
00:28:12,700 --> 00:28:14,700
people. 
So, Pastor, John's going to come

255
00:28:16,700 --> 00:28:18,700

give it up for him. 

256
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:26,000

far is celebrating Jesus. 

257
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,500
And man, I hope you got a great 
week just pointing people to 

258
00:28:28,500 --> 00:28:31,500
Jesus with your voice, like John
the Baptist just going out and 

259
00:28:31,500 --> 00:28:34,400
just to sharing the gospel this 
week had a fun opportunity. 

260
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:39,300
My neighbors, don't know Jesus 
and God put me there on purpose 

261
00:28:39,500 --> 00:28:42,400
and so I get to go out and hang 
out the neighbors and he was 

262
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,600
didn't have time to do it but it
worked out and I'm on the 

263
00:28:45,700 --> 00:28:48,200
driveway and do were talking 
about Jesus for like an hour and

264
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:49,700
a half. 
We went from every religion, the

265
00:28:49,700 --> 00:28:52,000
world and just kept playing the 
seeds of the gospel. 

266
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,400
And It's fun being this 
conversation. 

267
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:58,000
It has been this conversation 
this week, a little bit, it's 

268
00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,600
just fun. 
You just to see what God's going

269
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:00,700
to do. 
And we've been praying for a 

270
00:29:00,700 --> 00:29:02,900
neighbor's for a long time and 
just guys is given to open doors

271
00:29:02,900 --> 00:29:06,100
so just be praying for them but 
I'm just asking a simple 

272
00:29:06,100 --> 00:29:07,500
question a day. 
It's gonna sound like chill 

273
00:29:07,500 --> 00:29:09,400
Pursuit, but it's going to get 
there soon to come all the way 

274
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:13,600
around, but is it may know the 
first words ever spoken recorded

275
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,500
on a feature film. 
The first words record on the 

276
00:29:16,500 --> 00:29:19,800
feature film, anybody this is 
before our day. 

277
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,200
This before, everybody's day, 
this is about 100 years. 

278
00:29:22,300 --> 00:29:25,900
As ago, that was pulling a film 
and the sentence is so important

279
00:29:25,900 --> 00:29:29,200
because it changed everything in
the entertainment industry. 

280
00:29:29,900 --> 00:29:32,200
And you know, it babe. 
I know do believe, I know who 

281
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:36,200
I'm talking about today, but 100
years ago, it was 1927, little 

282
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:40,100
man named Al Jolson and a movie 
called The Jazz Singer and he 

283
00:29:40,100 --> 00:29:44,000
made this. 
See some of the the the fine 

284
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:45,900
wine people in the house. 
Come on somebody. 

285
00:29:46,100 --> 00:29:50,300
Recognizing we're talking about 
today and he's looking around of

286
00:29:50,300 --> 00:29:53,500
me but throughout he said this 
It's so pertinent for today. 

287
00:29:53,500 --> 00:29:57,100
So relevant, he said wait a 
minute, wait a minute, you ain't

288
00:29:57,100 --> 00:30:00,800
heard nothing yet. 
Just heard that line, right? 

289
00:30:01,100 --> 00:30:03,000
And he repeats this and he says,
wait a minute. 

290
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,200
You haven't heard nothing yet. 
And the reality is 100 years 

291
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,800
later, it could be more true as 
you go to AMC, theater with a 

292
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,400
Dolby Surround Sound the seat 
and vibrates, you know, the 

293
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,200
sound of people getting killed 
the dinosaurs, you know, I'm 

294
00:30:12,208 --> 00:30:14,300
talking about. 
I mean, just like yes we have 

295
00:30:14,300 --> 00:30:17,200
anything and everything changed 
that that would that was the end

296
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,100
of an era of silent movies. 
People, you still a little bit 

297
00:30:20,100 --> 00:30:22,100
and to thank him on the screen 
with the words and you read it. 

298
00:30:22,500 --> 00:30:24,400
Wow, exciting. 
And they go back and act, you 

299
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,900
know, whatever? 
Right, her Lloyd Buster Keaton. 

300
00:30:27,900 --> 00:30:31,200
All the classics before your 
day, who even knows I'm talking 

301
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,500
about right now. 
One person? 

302
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:39,300
Yes, you saved yourself all of 
you right now but thank God that

303
00:30:39,300 --> 00:30:42,100
you actually record on feature 
film everything changed and 

304
00:30:42,100 --> 00:30:43,600
really one sentence, everything 
changed. 

305
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,100
That was the end of that 
complete era. 

306
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,700
The reality is this, when you 
follow Jesus, just one sins from

307
00:30:48,700 --> 00:30:51,700
Jesus will change everything for
someone's life. 

308
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,000
I don't remember what Jesus 
spoke to you, and you found 

309
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,400
Jesus that you're forgiven. 
Your shame is rolled away that 

310
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,700
your made Anew. 
We bring somebody to Jesus. 

311
00:30:59,700 --> 00:31:01,700
Everything is eternally 
different forever. 

312
00:31:01,700 --> 00:31:04,800
Different, Maybe we have the 
honor and privilege as 

313
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,400
ambassadors for Christ that we 
get to carry a message that were

314
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,500
Fishers of Men, it would to 
bring people into the presence 

315
00:31:11,700 --> 00:31:14,000
of Jesus. 
And so today is really all about

316
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,800
stopping and nothing. 
As we talk about the passion we 

317
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,500
should have to bring people. 
To Christ has an amazing story 

318
00:31:19,500 --> 00:31:22,300
of walking, the Bible, but to 
introduce today we have a video.

319
00:31:22,900 --> 00:31:25,600
This is a man that's really been
hurt by Church. 

320
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,600
Like so many of us have walked 
away from God, walked away from 

321
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,600
the things of Christ in the 
church and God used a little 

322
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:35,100
miracle. 
If through his family for him to

323
00:31:35,100 --> 00:31:38,700
forgot to give attention and he 
came back to God and the same 

324
00:31:38,700 --> 00:31:41,300
voice was used to bring this man
back to church. 

325
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:45,000
And so, once you check this 
video out, Hi. 

326
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,500
I'm Dennis Reimer. 
And this is my story and I'm 

327
00:31:47,500 --> 00:31:54,800
sticking to it. 
I'm grew up. 

328
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,400
I would sprinkle it as a child 
as far as my baptism and I was 

329
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:02,300
confirmed of Faith at the time. 
I was only 14 years old and I 

330
00:32:02,300 --> 00:32:04,000
really didn't know what I was 
doing. 

331
00:32:04,700 --> 00:32:09,600
And as I got older, I turned 18 
and my church. 

332
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,800
That I was confirmed in wanted 
to know how much money I wanted 

333
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,700
to do. 
And I told him, you know, I 

334
00:32:14,708 --> 00:32:19,100
didn't know, I just got out of 
high school so came down to 

335
00:32:19,900 --> 00:32:23,000
where I'm kind of embarrassed my
parents, by saying, well, I 

336
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,600
didn't want to. 
Part of the country club and 

337
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,200
needless to say, they didn't no 
longer want to be in their 

338
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,900
church because they wanted to be
to pay to pray. 

339
00:32:31,500 --> 00:32:34,700
So I kind of gave up on that one
and then I fell in love for the 

340
00:32:34,700 --> 00:32:38,400
first time and that was kind of 
cool because I asked God to give

341
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:42,400
me someone is I wasn't having 
much luck in my whole life. 

342
00:32:42,500 --> 00:32:45,200
He gave me a girl. 
I broke up with her or she broke

343
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:50,100
up with me actually and I kind 
of went berserk and cast out of 

344
00:32:50,100 --> 00:32:54,200
God and everybody else. 
And I just went Haywire till I 

345
00:32:54,208 --> 00:32:59,200
met my wife, she kind of calm me
down when she finally started, 

346
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,400
going back to her church. 
I kind of fell in with that for 

347
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,800
a while and I thought I had 
found God and I was doing real 

348
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:09,300
well, got baptized and 
everything and then things 

349
00:33:09,300 --> 00:33:11,900
changed. 
It became another situation 

350
00:33:11,900 --> 00:33:14,500
where there's another church 
that wanted. 

351
00:33:14,500 --> 00:33:17,700
All they wanted, was my money. 
And I said something to the 

352
00:33:17,700 --> 00:33:20,200
effect that it was like another 
church that was doing it, 

353
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:24,000
something on television and the 
pastor came over and Basically 

354
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,000
said if I didn't sit in his 
church, I wasn't gonna go to 

355
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:30,300
God's kingdom and well I didn't 
think that was right either. 

356
00:33:30,300 --> 00:33:36,100
So estimate father Flanagan and 
Mother Teresa we're going to be 

357
00:33:36,100 --> 00:33:38,400
in God's kingdom after all the 
good they did and they're 

358
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,900
Catholics they weren't sitting 
in his church which irritated 

359
00:33:41,900 --> 00:33:46,500
him so he ended up giving me a 
two-day notice afterwards saying

360
00:33:46,500 --> 00:33:48,700
he didn't want me no longer in 
his church. 

361
00:33:48,900 --> 00:33:52,000
Well I got to kind of set up 
with churches about this time 

362
00:33:52,300 --> 00:33:55,600
and I did just fell away from 
God all together. 

363
00:33:55,600 --> 00:34:00,400
I felt that a religion was just,
you know, a joke, my wife and I 

364
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:04,100
didn't go to church for the 
longest time and then a 

365
00:34:04,100 --> 00:34:12,900
granddaughter came healing and 
she had leukemia And she almost 

366
00:34:12,900 --> 00:34:21,400
died twice and so I went into 
the chapel at Children's Mercy 

367
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:26,800
and I made a deal with God, I 
said God you know I know I have 

368
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,699
been away from you in a long 
time and I'm sort of like the 

369
00:34:29,699 --> 00:34:32,100
prodigal son but I'm asking you 
to make me a deal. 

370
00:34:32,100 --> 00:34:39,800
Take my life instead of hers and
For some reason, he answered my 

371
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:44,600
prayer and she's now 20 years 
old and she's doing real good. 

372
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:48,500
I've never, I've never loved a 
child so much. 

373
00:34:48,500 --> 00:34:52,800
And you know, and she was 
diagnose that took the wind out 

374
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,199
of my sails. 
And I've promised that I was 

375
00:34:55,199 --> 00:34:58,900
going to taken try to be more 
God's servant. 

376
00:34:59,100 --> 00:35:01,900
I was doing real good for about 
five years. 

377
00:35:01,900 --> 00:35:05,300
And then I had my first heart 
attack and I think God was 

378
00:35:05,300 --> 00:35:08,800
trying to wake me up and say, 
hey, You know, I have fulfilled 

379
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,500
my deal now, it's your turn to 
fulfill years. 

380
00:35:12,100 --> 00:35:18,000
Well, after that I Braden, you 
know he got me through that one,

381
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,000
about two more heart. 
I'm a slow learner. 

382
00:35:20,700 --> 00:35:22,800
I had two more heart attacks 
than I had. 

383
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:26,300
Heart failure. 
I've had every time, I feel like

384
00:35:26,300 --> 00:35:29,800
I'm crossing the line and going 
on the other side to her, Satan 

385
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,500
knows just what buttons to push 
something happens. 

386
00:35:33,500 --> 00:35:36,800
I've had two detached retinas 
where when I go to take it in, 

387
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:41,000
Gone blind. 
Had he not saved it for 13 

388
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:42,700
hours. 
I would have been blind. 

389
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:47,200
I think, the last major thing 
was about four years ago. 

390
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:51,400
I broke my hip after that, and 
the pain I had been in. 

391
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,800
I said to myself, you know, I 
it's time to start working and 

392
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:59,900
living towards Godly light so 
covid, hit. 

393
00:35:59,900 --> 00:36:05,200
And then there was no church. 
So I went to, they had the 

394
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:08,000
church in my sons. 
Yes, Raj. 

395
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:12,600
So my granddaughter Haley. 
She asked my wife to come and 

396
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,300
naturally. 
I was going to go to, I started 

397
00:36:15,300 --> 00:36:19,200
listening and I'm starting to 
relive all. 

398
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:22,700
The things that what I had 
learned before and I was really 

399
00:36:22,700 --> 00:36:26,500
learning a lot of the things 
real life and started to make 

400
00:36:26,500 --> 00:36:29,100
sense to me. 
I got to meet a few, people 

401
00:36:29,500 --> 00:36:33,900
wasn't a big Gathering and once 
Church started coming back, I 

402
00:36:33,908 --> 00:36:37,000
decided to come over and go to 
the Real Life Church. 

403
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,200
Service was the best thing I've 
ever done. 

404
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:44,100
I've people greeted me and they 
were real people. 

405
00:36:44,100 --> 00:36:47,400
They didn't cast judgment on me 
because I was poor or if I was 

406
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:51,900
rich or whatever, they just 
cared about what I did and it's 

407
00:36:51,900 --> 00:36:56,400
not paid to pray. 
Yes, you give freely but that's 

408
00:36:56,400 --> 00:37:00,400
everything you do is up to you. 
And now my doctors tell me, I 

409
00:37:00,408 --> 00:37:03,800
should have been dead five years
ago, but because the grace of 

410
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:07,000
God, I'm still here and I'm 
going to do something about it. 

411
00:37:07,100 --> 00:37:09,900
It. 
So now what I'm trying to do is 

412
00:37:09,900 --> 00:37:14,300
let other people know that God 
is real and God, Kim performed 

413
00:37:14,300 --> 00:37:18,700
Miracles and do things. 
And I guess is my mission now is

414
00:37:18,700 --> 00:37:23,900
to help other people. 
God used my son daughter-in-law 

415
00:37:23,900 --> 00:37:26,800
and the grandkids get me back on
the right. 

416
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:32,900
Track Haley was the main source 
in actually Lexi because they 

417
00:37:32,900 --> 00:37:35,200
did it. 
Inadvertently brought me back 

418
00:37:35,500 --> 00:37:39,100
because I looked at them, They 
were they were hope for the 

419
00:37:39,100 --> 00:37:43,000
future. 
Our lives are so easily it can 

420
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:47,800
snap at any time and we could be
gone just them helping me. 

421
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:49,800
See? 
That it's not too late. 

422
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,500
And that's how, you know, I was 
brought back in the church. 

423
00:37:53,500 --> 00:37:59,200
So now I'm asking all of you to 
step out on faith and step out 

424
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:05,000
on your own power and you guys 
bring some people in is it's 

425
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,800
going to be a blessing to you as
well as the People, you bring 

426
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:14,400
it. 
Come on, give it up for Dennis. 

427
00:38:17,900 --> 00:38:20,800
Dennis has a hard time watching 
this video but man, it's good, 

428
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:24,400
isn't it may just be in a real 
and sharing what God has done is

429
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,300
life and it's amazing. 
I love how you said. 

430
00:38:26,300 --> 00:38:30,100
He's a, he's a slow learner. 
He told me earlier he takes 90 

431
00:38:30,100 --> 00:38:31,700
minutes to watch 60 Minutes, you
know? 

432
00:38:32,900 --> 00:38:33,900
So I love you. 
Dennis. 

433
00:38:33,900 --> 00:38:38,900
And it's amazing that really, 
that his story of Faith. 

434
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:42,600
Most likely played a story and 
his granddaughter being healed. 

435
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,500
The story of going to God and 
asking God to change her life. 

436
00:38:46,900 --> 00:38:49,000
Probably played his part of the 
story, but God did and 

437
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,300
ultimately God didn't just 
change her physically. 

438
00:38:51,700 --> 00:38:54,300
God changed, Dennis's, heart 
changed him on the inside. 

439
00:38:54,300 --> 00:38:57,100
Amen, and that's the story. 
What happens when we bring 

440
00:38:57,100 --> 00:39:00,500
people to Jesus, but God does 
things. 

441
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:05,100
And so I want to say thank you 
really to Ryan Michelle, Lexi 

442
00:39:05,100 --> 00:39:08,100
Haley, the family and ultimate 
in Jesus, for what he's done. 

443
00:39:08,100 --> 00:39:09,600
So come on, let's give it up for
all them. 

444
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:14,400
They probably story bringing 
You're Ryan. 

445
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,200
It opened up his garage, had a 
TV that came down from the 

446
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:20,900
ceiling looked like, had a 
baptism in there with a earlier.

447
00:39:20,900 --> 00:39:22,500
I saw like a pool or something 
like that. 

448
00:39:22,500 --> 00:39:26,000
Some kind of Coca-Cola bin or 
something, but man, it's cool 

449
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,100
that was all play a little piece
of story and God continues to 

450
00:39:28,100 --> 00:39:29,200
use it. 
So I don't say, thank you. 

451
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,600
Dennis for sharing your story, 
and I think it's touching people

452
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,200
more than we even know. 
And so they won't talk about 

453
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,900
what it means to bring some be 
in the presence of Jesus like 

454
00:39:36,900 --> 00:39:40,000
what happens inside their life, 
like when we get somebody into 

455
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,100
his presence and really just 
like we talked about here today 

456
00:39:42,100 --> 00:39:46,100
Ministry everything can change. 
Just one sentence for these 

457
00:39:46,100 --> 00:39:47,700
people. 
And so we're going to pick up 

458
00:39:47,900 --> 00:39:50,900
really with left off last week 
and the story last week, we're 

459
00:39:50,900 --> 00:39:53,000
in John, but we're gonna jump 
over the Book of Mark and be in 

460
00:39:53,008 --> 00:39:56,900
chapter 1 and verse 14. 
It says this it says after John 

461
00:39:56,900 --> 00:39:59,100
was put in prison, this is still
talking about John. 

462
00:39:59,100 --> 00:40:01,400
The Baptist is in John the 
Beloved disciple but when John 

463
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,600
the bastard put in prison he was
calling out rebuking one of the 

464
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:09,200
leaders Herod Antipas and he was
having incest with his cousin 

465
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,700
herodias and eventually led to 
him being beheaded. 

466
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,700
And so like I said earlier last 
week, John John really was just 

467
00:40:14,700 --> 00:40:17,800
a voice his point. 
People to Jesus and then went 

468
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,600
totally Into Obscurity. 
But when John was put in the 

469
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,200
prison, Jesus went to Galilee. 
He went to this these 

470
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,500
neighborhoods, you into this 
northern part of Israel, that 

471
00:40:25,500 --> 00:40:29,800
was populated full of people and
begin proclaim, the good news. 

472
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:31,500
Now, this is how his ministry 
started. 

473
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:34,500
He said this, the time has come.
When we talk about the word 

474
00:40:34,500 --> 00:40:38,200
time, there's not about the 
exact like at 7:45, he sum of 

475
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:40,700
the moments. 
The word, therefore Greek is 

476
00:40:40,700 --> 00:40:42,600
queiroz. 
They say that this moment of 

477
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,700
time has come We saying is God 
is near. 

478
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,400
There's any moments in your life
that God is immune to work. 

479
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,600
In to move in says the kingdom 
of God has come near repent and 

480
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,500
believe the good news. 
Now, this is kind of like, 

481
00:40:55,100 --> 00:40:57,700
really what it is to follow. 
Jesus on a day-to-day basis, 

482
00:40:57,700 --> 00:41:00,200
isn't it? 
You turn from yourself, repent. 

483
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:03,100
And turn back to God. 
And in the reality, is, this is 

484
00:41:03,107 --> 00:41:06,600
we're all called to recognize 
these moments day to day Moment,

485
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:09,500
by moment that God wants to 
speak to us, that the gods going

486
00:41:09,500 --> 00:41:12,700
to use all these things to draw 
us to him thing about Genesis 

487
00:41:12,700 --> 00:41:16,100
story. 
Sudden you have leukemia in his 

488
00:41:16,100 --> 00:41:18,500
granddaughter. 
The recognizes this this a 

489
00:41:18,500 --> 00:41:20,400
moment. 
Now, I got to give this to 

490
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:23,300
goddamn a turn for myself. 
He turned back to Jesus. 

491
00:41:23,300 --> 00:41:25,800
Amen, every moment of your day 
ever. 

492
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:29,000
Even right now, as we speak, God
is speaking to you. 

493
00:41:29,300 --> 00:41:31,200
And so the reality is this, we 
are going to bring people to 

494
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:32,900
Jesus. 
The first thing I do is realize,

495
00:41:32,900 --> 00:41:36,800
the kingdom of God is near the 
king, of God is closer than you 

496
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,200
could imagine. 
We got to get past the point of 

497
00:41:39,207 --> 00:41:42,800
saying, man, when I passed away,
I go to Eternity, spent eternity

498
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:44,900
with Jesus. 
Has no your life with Jesus 

499
00:41:44,900 --> 00:41:46,000
started. 
We met Jesus. 

500
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,500
Amen. 
An attorney is right now. 

501
00:41:48,900 --> 00:41:51,700
Amen. 
It's in this moment. 

502
00:41:52,100 --> 00:41:53,700
Like you don't die and go to 
turn to you. 

503
00:41:53,700 --> 00:41:56,600
You're a Jesus right now on 
mission for him. 

504
00:41:57,300 --> 00:41:59,500
So, we got to get past this 
whole like, well, wait till that

505
00:41:59,500 --> 00:42:01,700
happens with God. 
Then we get right now, got his 

506
00:42:01,700 --> 00:42:04,300
clothes, got his near ghosts of 
work inside your heart. 

507
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:07,400
And we're just constant cycle as
a follower of Jesus to turn from

508
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,500
our own ways and turn to God. 
Amen. 

509
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:13,100
That this called the cycle, 
making this, what we do is walk 

510
00:42:13,100 --> 00:42:16,000
away from Ourselves. 
Jonna, the Baptist said in John 

511
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,000
3:30. 
He said he must increase. 

512
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:22,400
And I must decrease, he must 
become greater, and I must 

513
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:25,700
become less. 
It's kind of like Homer 

514
00:42:25,700 --> 00:42:27,300
Simpson's kind of Fades out, 
right? 

515
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:29,400
Shut the bushes. 
He's gone. 

516
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:31,800
Right? 
That's that's what is the follow

517
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:33,600
Jesus. 
Let's not make him my name. 

518
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,400
Great is making his name, great 
and just getting out of the way,

519
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:37,600
and God is speaking through 
this. 

520
00:42:38,100 --> 00:42:44,200
And so, here he is. 
Jesus says this Verse 16 says, 

521
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:45,500
Jesus walked beside the Sea of 
Galilee. 

522
00:42:45,500 --> 00:42:49,200
He saw Simon, his brother, 
Andrew casting net into the lake

523
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:51,700
for, they were fishermen. 
Now this is Simon and Andrew 

524
00:42:51,700 --> 00:42:54,800
talked about last week member a 
major stock Jesus and then John 

525
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,500
was there. 
This is the same and room and so

526
00:42:57,500 --> 00:43:00,400
they had met Jesus already. 
Peter had been Simon the given 

527
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:01,800
the name. 
He called Peter. 

528
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:03,300
The Rock. 
Never that new name. 

529
00:43:03,300 --> 00:43:06,100
New purpose and then life got 
hard. 

530
00:43:06,300 --> 00:43:08,800
John, the Baptist got arrested 
this is one of their their 

531
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,700
mentors, the rabbi their 
spiritual leader. 

532
00:43:11,700 --> 00:43:12,900
He's been arrested put in 
prison. 

533
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,400
Susan, and all the sudden they 
walk away from Jesus. 

534
00:43:15,700 --> 00:43:19,200
These men are back to business 
as normal, they're back with 

535
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:22,500
their Nets, their back fishing. 
They're going back to what they 

536
00:43:22,500 --> 00:43:24,000
once had. 
I know if you've been there 

537
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,900
before the season your life, or 
maybe you're in that season 

538
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,200
where you're passionate about 
God, you brought your Bible 

539
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:31,200
everywhere. 
You're praying all the time, 

540
00:43:31,300 --> 00:43:33,900
your church every Sunday, your 
leave for the cause of Christ 

541
00:43:33,900 --> 00:43:36,100
wherever you're at, and then it 
got hard. 

542
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:37,400
You who knows? 
Ministries? 

543
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:39,700
Hard, who has fallen God is 
hard. 

544
00:43:40,300 --> 00:43:42,400
Who knows is why attacks that 
happened? 

545
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:44,400
When you're falling? 
A lot of wounds that happened in

546
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,300
Ministry. 
Your been stabbed in the back by

547
00:43:46,300 --> 00:43:48,400
a friend, your been given some 
to somebody. 

548
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:50,700
They didn't say. 
Thanks maybe tread on the gift 

549
00:43:50,700 --> 00:43:54,000
or abused, your grace and and as
a Christian, it's easy to get 

550
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:57,100
offended, it's easy to wounded, 
it's easy at her, it's easy to 

551
00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:00,400
walk away from the things of 
God, and this will refine the 

552
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:01,900
disciples. 
The ruler. 

553
00:44:01,900 --> 00:44:04,900
First thing I did is I met Jesus
to change your life and got hard

554
00:44:05,100 --> 00:44:07,600
and they quit. 
I think about John the Baptist 

555
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,000
and he had such a good perfect. 
Illustration of what this looks 

556
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:11,500
like. 
I mean, John, the Baptist 

557
00:44:11,700 --> 00:44:14,700
honestly much about him but he 
Ever performed a sign like it, 

558
00:44:14,707 --> 00:44:17,500
never America will never heal 
anybody he to do anything that 

559
00:44:17,500 --> 00:44:20,800
made anything about himself and 
ultimately John the Baptist ask 

560
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:21,400
him. 
Who are you? 

561
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:22,500
Who are you? 
Who are you? 

562
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:26,200
He proclaimed. 
Clearly, he said, I am not the 

563
00:44:26,207 --> 00:44:28,100
Messiah. 
You have been a seizure. 

564
00:44:28,100 --> 00:44:29,400
Your life. 
You're trying to fix yourself. 

565
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:33,200
This is your life try to fix. 
Everybody else just solve the 

566
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:35,300
problem. 
So I put all the pieces together

567
00:44:35,300 --> 00:44:38,200
so the fall apart like going to 
be the hero may be the savior of

568
00:44:38,207 --> 00:44:40,800
the day, here's John. 
The Baptist says, I am not the 

569
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:42,900
Messiah. 
First thing I realized this is 

570
00:44:43,100 --> 00:44:44,600
We are not the Messiah. 
Amen. 

571
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:48,100
Amen. 
We will have it all together. 

572
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:51,100
We can't figure it out. 
We can't do it on our own, the 

573
00:44:51,100 --> 00:44:54,000
kid doing power and own 
strength, and our own way. 

574
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:56,400
And so he stepped back and just 
give it to God. 

575
00:44:56,700 --> 00:45:01,300
Verse 17 says this, Jesus sees 
Andrew and Simon, they're out 

576
00:45:01,300 --> 00:45:05,500
there fishing and he says, come 
follow me, Jesus said, and I 

577
00:45:05,500 --> 00:45:11,700
will send you out to fish for 
fish for the Fisher people, but 

578
00:45:11,700 --> 00:45:14,200
Jesus gives them immediate Edit 
call. 

579
00:45:14,300 --> 00:45:17,200
He sees them kind of doing their
own work doing their thing. 

580
00:45:17,300 --> 00:45:20,300
Now using a permanent called, 
This is a danger, in Simon of 

581
00:45:20,308 --> 00:45:23,600
the first two disciples ever 
call to follow Jesus. 

582
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:26,600
Jesus, recognized the potential,
you recognize your own way and 

583
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:27,900
he says, I want you to follow 
me. 

584
00:45:28,100 --> 00:45:29,700
They use them as such a clear 
call. 

585
00:45:29,700 --> 00:45:32,900
He says I will make you Fishers 
of people. 

586
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:34,900
It is amazing. 
The first thing that Jesus 

587
00:45:34,900 --> 00:45:37,200
called them to do. 
Will ultimately the overarching 

588
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:40,000
thing of their they will do 
their entire lives was to fish 

589
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:42,800
for people. 
There wasn't any other calling? 

590
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:44,700
Not a factor. 
I think about this. 

591
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:47,300
I don't think it's anything 
greater in your life that you 

592
00:45:47,308 --> 00:45:52,400
can live for or you can die for 
there to be a Fisher for people.

593
00:45:53,100 --> 00:45:56,500
This is exactly what Jesus has 
called us to do. 

594
00:45:56,700 --> 00:45:59,400
In fact, the only reason we're 
left here on this side of 

595
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:04,400
Eternity, is that we can bring 
people to Jesus and says, says 

596
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:07,400
this and 18 says that once 
Andrew and Simon, they left 

597
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:10,800
their Nets left their livelihood
unless it was comfortable, but 

598
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:14,300
was easy, was predictable. 
What they were good at what they

599
00:46:14,300 --> 00:46:16,600
can make money at, and they 
followed. 

600
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:20,000
Jesus verse 19 says this and 
when they go a little farther, 

601
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:23,600
Jesus, he saw Janet, James, the 
son of Zebedee, and his brother,

602
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:27,300
John, and a boat preparing their
nests. 

603
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:30,500
Now, this is the same John that 
met Jesus for the first time. 

604
00:46:30,500 --> 00:46:32,900
It's my last week, right? 
And six years later, he 

605
00:46:32,900 --> 00:46:35,700
remembers 4 p.m. in the 
afternoon when he first met 

606
00:46:35,700 --> 00:46:38,400
Jesus. 
Now, here's here they are 

607
00:46:39,700 --> 00:46:42,300
worried and Afraid and 
discourage and they're back to 

608
00:46:42,300 --> 00:46:46,700
business as As normal preparing 
their nets for another night of 

609
00:46:46,700 --> 00:46:50,500
fishing verse 20 says, without 
delay, Jesus called them and 

610
00:46:50,500 --> 00:46:52,900
they left their father Zebedee 
in the boat that poor guy came. 

611
00:46:52,900 --> 00:46:54,700
All somebody, right? 
See you later. 

612
00:46:55,500 --> 00:46:58,200
And they and and the hired men 
and they follow them. 

613
00:46:58,300 --> 00:47:00,300
So no James. 
And John had some business was a

614
00:47:00,308 --> 00:47:02,800
family business, they probably 
own the boats, they had some 

615
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:05,200
amount of wealth The Prestige or
probably known the city. 

616
00:47:05,300 --> 00:47:07,100
There's a lot riding on the 
shoulders or take over the 

617
00:47:07,100 --> 00:47:09,900
business and they left 
everything including their 

618
00:47:09,900 --> 00:47:13,800
father and they followed Jesus. 
So, sad thing is this we're 

619
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:16,700
going to bring people to Jesus, 
you have to recognize your call.

620
00:47:16,900 --> 00:47:20,600
We have to be willing to let 
some things go to leave, some 

621
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:24,100
things behind and even some 
people behind for your call. 

622
00:47:25,300 --> 00:47:29,100
Amen, preacher. 
Somebody like that sounds good. 

623
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:32,200
That sounds real good. 
But God is calling you to go. 

624
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:35,000
Find a fishing hole for people 
that's calling leave. 

625
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:36,500
What's comfortable and what's 
normal? 

626
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:39,200
They had gotten out Kali to 
business, as normal. 

627
00:47:39,300 --> 00:47:40,800
You had. 
Look at your day, look your 

628
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:42,700
time. 
Look, you're doing in your life.

629
00:47:42,700 --> 00:47:45,200
Ask yourself one of the world. 
Do I need to stop doing for the 

630
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,200
cause of Christ? 
Because he's calling you away 

631
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:51,000
from some things as a follow. 
Jesus to go Reach people to be 

632
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:54,400
on Mission and the reality is 
this, that so many of us are so 

633
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:57,200
scared of Letting Go that we 
hold onto the world. 

634
00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:00,500
So, There's no room for Jesus. 
I would encourage you to do 

635
00:48:00,500 --> 00:48:02,900
something very full of faith and
just open your hands and say 

636
00:48:02,900 --> 00:48:07,000
yes, Jesus, wherever you call 
me, I'm willing to go, I'm not 

637
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,300
saying you're going to be a 
missionary in Africa but maybe 

638
00:48:09,300 --> 00:48:12,400
you will be amen. 
Some of y'all done that, and 

639
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:14,900
that's what God's calling you. 
We have to be more of a sending 

640
00:48:14,900 --> 00:48:18,300
agency than a seating agency, 
like we can just come here and 

641
00:48:18,300 --> 00:48:20,200
fill chairs. 
Some of you are going to get out

642
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:21,900
of the premortal sludge of 
sitting and be like, dude, I'm 

643
00:48:21,900 --> 00:48:23,100
gonna go do some for Christ. 
Amen. 

644
00:48:23,500 --> 00:48:25,100
The gods call me across the 
street. 

645
00:48:25,300 --> 00:48:26,800
He's calling me to bring that 
person. 

646
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:29,100
That looks nothing like In 
Munich on my house and hang out 

647
00:48:29,100 --> 00:48:31,700
and eat at my table and I get to
Point them to Jesus. 

648
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:34,100
God, just going to use my life. 
How you want to be saying this 

649
00:48:34,100 --> 00:48:37,100
song I'm a vessel make me vessel
use may want to mate with it, 

650
00:48:37,100 --> 00:48:39,400
call of surrender. 
Thank God is going to use that 

651
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:43,200
today, so these men are called 
to be Fishers for men, I believe

652
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:45,700
that's still a call we have 
today. 2,000 years later says, 

653
00:48:45,700 --> 00:48:48,600
in mark 19. 119 says they came 
to Capernaum. 

654
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:51,000
Now, Capernaum is a city in the 
north side of the Sea of 

655
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,000
Galilee. 
It's a populated city, saw 

656
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:54,700
thoroughfare. 
And major highway runs through 

657
00:48:54,700 --> 00:48:56,900
it. 
This is a fishing town. 

658
00:48:56,900 --> 00:48:58,900
This is all. 
R Commerce around fishing. 

659
00:48:59,100 --> 00:49:02,200
It says, when the Sabbath came, 
now, this is a, this would been 

660
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:03,700
Saturday, and there's a bunch of
rules. 

661
00:49:03,700 --> 00:49:07,300
They couldn't follow, but Jesus,
he went into the synagogue or at

662
00:49:07,300 --> 00:49:09,800
that time, he called the church,
but the synagogue and began to 

663
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:11,900
teach and the people were, what 
held me out? 

664
00:49:11,900 --> 00:49:15,400
They were, they were amazed at 
his teaching, they were 

665
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:17,800
dumbfounded. 
There were all struck. 

666
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:19,500
Just like some of you guys are 
right now. 

667
00:49:19,500 --> 00:49:23,000
Come on, somebody. 
I'm just kidding. 

668
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:28,700
And tell the people were amazed 
at his teaching because he 

669
00:49:28,700 --> 00:49:31,700
taught them as one who had 
Authority. 

670
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:34,800
He taught them. 
Is if he wrote the book, he 

671
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:37,800
taught them as, if he hung the 
Stars, he laid the foundation. 

672
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:39,300
He taught him as, if he was 
there. 

673
00:49:39,500 --> 00:49:42,600
When his all pinned, he taught 
them to Authority because he was

674
00:49:42,700 --> 00:49:45,000
the authority. 
He says now as a teacher of the 

675
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,200
law, he didn't teach him as 
somebody that else would tie the

676
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:50,400
synagogue that studied the Old 
Testament, or Moses, or the 

677
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:53,500
regulations, or the traditional.
Of Law and just then it says, in

678
00:49:53,508 --> 00:49:57,100
verse 23, just then there was a 
man in synagogue who was 

679
00:49:57,100 --> 00:50:00,100
possessed by an imp your spirit 
and cried out. 

680
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:02,900
What do you want with us? 
Jesus of Nazareth. 

681
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:05,700
Have you come to destroy us? 
I know who you are. 

682
00:50:05,700 --> 00:50:09,400
The Holy One Of God. 
Now isn't it interesting? 

683
00:50:09,500 --> 00:50:12,600
I found this complete. 
Interesting uses first message. 

684
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:14,500
He just said this is what it's 
all about. 

685
00:50:14,500 --> 00:50:16,900
The kingdom of God is near his 
first Saturday. 

686
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:19,800
He's teaching in the synagogue 
and the very first thing that 

687
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:23,000
happens use preaches a 
Interrupts them. 

688
00:50:23,300 --> 00:50:26,300
Come on somebody. 
I mean this this is impressive. 

689
00:50:26,500 --> 00:50:31,100
I mean, why now of all the times
y now this demon interrupt Jesus

690
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:32,800
when he could have talked to 
Jesus. 

691
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:35,600
Any other moment, all of a 
sudden the kingdom of God has 

692
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:38,600
got to Unleashed into Humanity. 
The demons know it. 

693
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:42,000
He was a demon said he said, are
you going to destroy us? 

694
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:45,600
He said some the Jesus because 
he knew the power of God. 

695
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:49,800
Amen he knew that this is a 
Jesus that fact frame the Earth 

696
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:51,700
who's a Jesus that holds all 
things. 

697
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:53,700
Troll things and he had to ask 
the question. 

698
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:57,500
Have you come to kill us all? 
Because I know you can you also 

699
00:50:57,500 --> 00:50:59,400
knew who Jesus was? 
He says you're the Holy One Of 

700
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:01,700
God. 
It's interesting to me as Jesus 

701
00:51:01,700 --> 00:51:06,000
preached his first message that 
the first entity to recognize 

702
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:10,700
who Jesus was his power, his 
strength in his nature of being 

703
00:51:10,700 --> 00:51:14,000
God wasn't his disciples. 
It was a demon. 

704
00:51:15,300 --> 00:51:18,700
Think about that as you step out
in your call, you start to 

705
00:51:18,700 --> 00:51:22,300
follow Christ, third thing going
to bring people to God. 

706
00:51:22,300 --> 00:51:26,000
You could recognize the first 
person or entity to recognize 

707
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:28,500
that you're on Mission as a 
fisherman. 

708
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:31,500
Is it going to be somebody else?
It's going to be a demon. 

709
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:36,000
There's about that year. 
Without any of follow Christ is 

710
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,600
going to be easier and better 
thought about that. 

711
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:41,600
A lot of people do they like not
following Christ assumed you 

712
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:44,200
hard, bro, if it gets hard, 
that's means you're doing 

713
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:46,900
something, because you are 
taking some spiritual ground 

714
00:51:46,900 --> 00:51:48,700
from the enemy. 
Amen. 

715
00:51:49,300 --> 00:51:51,100
In his truck broke down this 
week, right? 

716
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:54,800
It means Bill stacking up. 
He's getting kind of hard and 

717
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:56,900
demons want to scream out right 
now in the middle message, 

718
00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:00,400
right? 
This is Jesus opening day. 

719
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:03,600
This is launch day for Jesus. 
There's a A demon that wants to 

720
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:05,300
shut it down. 
I'm just telling you you start 

721
00:52:05,300 --> 00:52:07,900
following Christ. 
Expect interruptions, amen. 

722
00:52:08,500 --> 00:52:11,700
Expect some obstacles, expected,
not to look anything like you 

723
00:52:11,700 --> 00:52:14,500
look like they're guess what God
is about to do his best work? 

724
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:17,200
Amen. 
Isn't work through you because 

725
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:20,100
he the say knows the power you 
had within you. 

726
00:52:20,100 --> 00:52:23,200
When you bring somebody to Jesus
say knows that you're pushing 

727
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:26,400
back the kingdom of hell, he 
knows that you have something 

728
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:29,000
more in you than he can stop. 
You of the power and the 

729
00:52:29,008 --> 00:52:32,500
presence of God, this is what 
Jesus said to him verse 25. 

730
00:52:32,700 --> 00:52:34,900
He Be quiet. 
In other words. 

731
00:52:34,900 --> 00:52:38,400
Shut up, amen. 
Some is gonna memorize this 

732
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:40,700
verse don't use on your parents,
right. 

733
00:52:41,500 --> 00:52:45,000
Be quiet said, Jesus sternly. 
He said, I wanna hear your 

734
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:46,700
self-defense. 
I don't hear any other words. 

735
00:52:46,700 --> 00:52:48,100
This is not the right time to 
talk. 

736
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:49,700
This is my kingdom cells going 
to go. 

737
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:53,400
He says come out of him and the 
a spirit shook, the man violate 

738
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:57,700
and came out with a shriek and 
the people were also amazed that

739
00:52:57,700 --> 00:53:00,100
they ask each other. 
What is this? 

740
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:02,000
It's a new teaching with 
authority. 

741
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:05,700
He is He has given orders to in 
pure spirits and they obey him 

742
00:53:05,700 --> 00:53:08,900
and the news about or the news 
of him spread quickly over the 

743
00:53:08,900 --> 00:53:13,800
whole region of Galilee, just 
one sentence from Jesus, cast 

744
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:18,300
out a demon, just one sentence 
from Jesus set free, a man that 

745
00:53:18,300 --> 00:53:22,500
was demon-possessed this the 
beginning of Jesus reputation 

746
00:53:22,500 --> 00:53:25,200
and Renown and fame being spread
across the area. 

747
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:27,100
Verse 25 says this. 
As soon as it left the 

748
00:53:27,100 --> 00:53:31,400
synagogue, they went with James 
and John, to the home of Simon 

749
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:34,300
and Andrew now. 
About this this incredible. 

750
00:53:34,300 --> 00:53:37,600
Remember, just last week, we 
talked about how Andrew and John

751
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:40,400
were stocking Jesus, and he went
to his home where he was 

752
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:41,800
staying. 
It's amazing. 

753
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:45,300
It didn't take very long for 
Jesus to end up at their house. 

754
00:53:45,300 --> 00:53:49,400
Did it your think about that you
started following Jesus in the 

755
00:53:49,408 --> 00:53:50,600
dark? 
You don't know, be able to know 

756
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:53,000
that you're following Jesus and 
then take long before, he 

757
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:55,300
started telling everyone, your 
fam bout, Jesus and do the Bible

758
00:53:55,300 --> 00:53:58,100
says that home and started 
praying at home and sort of 

759
00:53:58,100 --> 00:54:00,700
bringing people to God because 
all of a sudden, God is just 

760
00:54:00,700 --> 00:54:02,800
moving in your life. 
Don't take for it. 

761
00:54:02,900 --> 00:54:05,600
Long. 
Does it verse 3 says, this Simon

762
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:09,300
Simon's mother-in-law to say, 
know that Peter was married was 

763
00:54:09,300 --> 00:54:11,300
in bed with a fever, and they 
immediately told Jesus about 

764
00:54:11,300 --> 00:54:13,100
her. 
And so he went to her took her 

765
00:54:13,100 --> 00:54:16,300
hand and helped her and the 
fever left her and she began to 

766
00:54:16,300 --> 00:54:19,000
wait on them. 
She began to serve them just the

767
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:22,600
presence of Jesus. 
She was healed and changed that 

768
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:25,000
evening after Sunset. 
Remember this was a Sabbath day.

769
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,400
There's a lot of rules and 
regulation made by man and they 

770
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:30,000
couldn't work, it couldn't do 
things, but that night when the 

771
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,800
sun went down, the side was over
the people. 

772
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:40,900
They brought to Jesus all the 
sick and the demon possessed, 

773
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:44,300
that's impressive. 
This city is around 15,000 

774
00:54:44,300 --> 00:54:49,300
people and they're all going to 
Andrew in Simon's house. 

775
00:54:49,500 --> 00:54:52,700
All these people like me just 
get my sick neighbor, but I get 

776
00:54:52,700 --> 00:54:55,900
my six son, but yet my sick 
mother in law of and get my 

777
00:54:55,900 --> 00:54:58,500
friend down the street at this 
demon-possessed person, at least

778
00:54:58,500 --> 00:55:00,400
get them to the presence of 
Jesus. 

779
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:06,000
Jesus can change him since Verse
33, the whole town gathered at 

780
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:08,300
the door. 
Could you amazed at that? 

781
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:10,500
And that's the way church should
become all somebody, right? 

782
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:14,100
I'm the whole town came to be in
the presence of Jesus and be 

783
00:55:14,100 --> 00:55:15,300
healed. 
It's amazing. 

784
00:55:15,300 --> 00:55:17,500
This fishing Town. 
Those fishing for fish. 

785
00:55:17,500 --> 00:55:21,500
Is now a fishing Town fishing 
for people that saw Jesus 

786
00:55:21,500 --> 00:55:24,100
changed the city and Jesus 
healed, many, that were at 

787
00:55:24,100 --> 00:55:26,200
various diseases. 
And he drove out many demons. 

788
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:29,500
And he would not let the demons 
speak, because they knew who he 

789
00:55:29,500 --> 00:55:32,000
was. 
I love that demon muzzled or 

790
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:33,600
Jesus. 
The demons. 

791
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:35,600
Come on somebody. 
I'm he put them on their stuff. 

792
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:38,000
He bound them tight. 
He knew they're going to talk 

793
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:39,900
smack. 
He knew they're going to reveal 

794
00:55:39,900 --> 00:55:42,300
things that shouldn't reveal the
mystery of God quite yet. 

795
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:45,400
And so, he just shut him up. 
Who knows God's in control a men

796
00:55:45,900 --> 00:55:48,300
that God has a path in the plan 
that purpose and nobody is going

797
00:55:48,300 --> 00:55:49,900
to stop that the Demons of self 
obey. 

798
00:55:49,900 --> 00:55:54,000
Jesus verse 35, says this very 
early in the morning while still

799
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:57,000
dark Jesus. 
Got up left the house went off 

800
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:05,600
to a solitary place and he This 
is foundational as a follower of

801
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:07,200
Christ. 
Here's, here's Jesus. 

802
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:09,800
He has this amazing night 
members after dark. 

803
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:13,000
They all went to his house and 
he probably spent all night. 

804
00:56:13,100 --> 00:56:16,200
Healing people just kept coming 
and coming, and coming and cast 

805
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:18,100
out demons and that is 
disciples. 

806
00:56:18,100 --> 00:56:20,500
Fell asleep, with seems to be a 
tradition of Christians in 

807
00:56:20,500 --> 00:56:22,200
general. 
Come on somebody, right? 

808
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:23,700
You see that with all the cycles
of the garden? 

809
00:56:23,700 --> 00:56:27,400
They didn't change at all. 
Jesus would just disappear out 

810
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:30,600
into the Wilderness and the 
solitary place he would pray. 

811
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:34,000
You get connected to God, if 
we're going to make it past the 

812
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:37,200
40, second Sprint, for the 
things of Christ, we have to do 

813
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:39,000
through God's power. 
Amen. 

814
00:56:39,700 --> 00:56:41,600
I mean if you want to burn out, 
don't pray. 

815
00:56:42,100 --> 00:56:45,000
If you want to do in your 
Manpower, I won't see here in a 

816
00:56:45,008 --> 00:56:47,000
month. 
We'll see you in things of 

817
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:49,800
Christ because you're doing all 
on your own strength. 

818
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:53,500
And so Jesus models himself just
as a Son of God, this 

819
00:56:53,500 --> 00:56:56,400
relationship with his father and
his get reduced strength. 

820
00:56:56,600 --> 00:56:59,500
Think about when he prayed. 
He didn't pray leading into the 

821
00:56:59,500 --> 00:57:00,900
event. 
He didn't pay me. 

822
00:57:01,100 --> 00:57:05,200
Tori, healed, 15,000 people. 
Jesus prayed after I tell you, 

823
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:07,400
we probably more per after 
Easter than into Easter. 

824
00:57:07,500 --> 00:57:09,100
Amen. 
Who knows? 

825
00:57:09,100 --> 00:57:11,700
You get wounded when you're in 
leadership, they were when you 

826
00:57:11,700 --> 00:57:14,500
when you go for the cause of 
Christ and you see things and 

827
00:57:14,500 --> 00:57:16,800
who knows that the critics say a
little longer than the people 

828
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:19,100
cheering you on, you've been 
around the block or time with 

829
00:57:19,100 --> 00:57:20,800
you right now. 
I think you have to take some of

830
00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:23,300
those wounds and some of the 
things happier life, he's got to

831
00:57:23,300 --> 00:57:26,600
get a loan to savior, is let him
say that you're a child of God, 

832
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:29,500
your daughter, the king, your 
son, the king that you're 

833
00:57:29,500 --> 00:57:32,100
forgiven and chosen. 
And you Our enough and I am 

834
00:57:32,100 --> 00:57:34,900
enough for you and get healed up
amen. 

835
00:57:35,500 --> 00:57:37,700
This what Jesus models for us 
and we're going to bring people 

836
00:57:37,700 --> 00:57:40,500
to Christ. 
You better be man or woman of 

837
00:57:40,500 --> 00:57:43,200
prayer. 
First dinosaur, 36 says this 

838
00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:46,900
Simon's companions went to look 
for it and when they found him 

839
00:57:46,900 --> 00:57:48,800
they exclaimed everybody's 
looking for you. 

840
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:51,100
Where did you go? 
I've had this is sorry. 

841
00:57:51,100 --> 00:57:53,700
This is Simon Peters. 
First leadership exercise in the

842
00:57:53,700 --> 00:57:56,100
Bible First Time The Bible 
seemed leading anything and the 

843
00:57:56,107 --> 00:57:58,900
first thing you do is you woke 
up late, you couldn't find Jesus

844
00:57:58,900 --> 00:58:00,900
and he's like oh no, I left 
everything. 

845
00:58:01,100 --> 00:58:04,300
And I also left Jesus like where
in the world is he and so he 

846
00:58:04,300 --> 00:58:07,100
began to wake her up because his
sister Peter is a big loud mouth

847
00:58:07,100 --> 00:58:09,000
and shakes her butt out of bed 
and he shows. 

848
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:12,300
Let's go on a search party for 
Jesus to find the presence of 

849
00:58:12,300 --> 00:58:14,600
God. 
Very first thing that Pierre 

850
00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:17,700
doesn't seem very significant, 
but it is because he's the one 

851
00:58:17,700 --> 00:58:21,200
that's has his voice spoken up. 
He wants to bring people back to

852
00:58:21,207 --> 00:58:24,000
Jesus. 
Verse 38 says, Jesus replied to 

853
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:25,200
Peter. 
He said let us go somewhere 

854
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:28,800
else, so nearby Village, so I 
can preach there also, because 

855
00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:30,900
this is why I've come here as 
this city knows about. 

856
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:31,800
Out. 
Why I'm here. 

857
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:34,700
So the time has come, you know, 
repent believe. 

858
00:58:34,700 --> 00:58:36,500
It came Guys, near, they know 
all these things. 

859
00:58:36,500 --> 00:58:40,000
It's time to go out. 
It's time to go somewhere else 

860
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:41,600
because I know exactly what I'm 
doing. 

861
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:44,000
And so we travel through 
Galilee, this upper region of 

862
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:47,200
Israel and being preaching, a 
synagogues and driving out 

863
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:48,200
demons. 
They're probably in the 

864
00:58:48,207 --> 00:58:50,300
synagogue's. 
Let's be real right verse 40 

865
00:58:50,300 --> 00:58:53,700
says, this, a man with Leprosy 
came to him and begged him on 

866
00:58:53,700 --> 00:58:56,200
his knees. 
If you are willing, you can make

867
00:58:56,200 --> 00:59:00,200
me clean in Jesus. 
Filled with compassion, he 

868
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:02,000
reached out his hand He touched 
them in. 

869
00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:05,700
Is that I am willing be clean. 
It's amazing. 

870
00:59:05,700 --> 00:59:08,200
In just one sentence. 
This man be cleansed from 

871
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:10,200
leprosy. 
Be cleansed from the skin 

872
00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:12,300
disease. 
He's battled his entire life. 

873
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:16,400
He said, Jesus sent him away and
wants with a Stern warning, 

874
00:59:16,500 --> 00:59:20,200
strong morning, he said, see you
don't tell anyone this but go 

875
00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:22,900
show yourself to the priest and 
offer the sacrifice that Moses 

876
00:59:22,900 --> 00:59:26,000
commanded for your cleansing as 
a testimony to them. 

877
00:59:26,300 --> 00:59:28,500
What he didn't want to do is let
everybody know that he just 

878
00:59:28,500 --> 00:59:30,800
cleans his leprosy. 
He said go back fall the old 

879
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:34,200
Testament way of getting 
cleansed in Leviticus 14, and 

880
00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:37,400
let it just fall the system, so 
that everybody's a know that I 

881
00:59:37,408 --> 00:59:40,600
just healed a leper. 
But instead look at the man does

882
00:59:40,900 --> 00:59:44,100
instead, he went out and began 
to talk freely to being sprayed 

883
00:59:44,100 --> 00:59:47,400
lose, he couldn't contain the 
joy that, that man over there. 

884
00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:51,400
Just the next town over healed, 
my leprosy, as a result, the 

885
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:57,000
missis Jesus could no longer 
enter a town openly because, but

886
00:59:57,000 --> 01:00:00,000
stayed outside in lonely places.
But check this out. 

887
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:01,300
It says you have two people with
What? 

888
01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:08,000
They still came, they still came
to him from everywhere. 

889
01:00:08,700 --> 01:00:11,800
Get the picture. 
Jesus, his reputation is 

890
01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:13,500
growing. 
He cast out demons. 

891
01:00:13,500 --> 01:00:15,900
He heals lepers. 
He just touches him in there. 

892
01:00:15,900 --> 01:00:17,700
Fevers gone. 
He cast out demons. 

893
01:00:17,700 --> 01:00:20,200
He's preaching. 
A synagogue has Authority and 

894
01:00:20,200 --> 01:00:22,500
power and now he came and being 
a city's. 

895
01:00:22,500 --> 01:00:26,100
He hides on the outskirts in the
lonely places and still 

896
01:00:26,100 --> 01:00:29,400
everybody from everywhere. 
Still trying to get to the 

897
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:32,700
presence of God. 
Here's the real T. 

898
01:00:32,700 --> 01:00:34,600
If we're going to bring people 
to Christ, we have to recognize 

899
01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:36,800
ourselves at the most attraction
or thing. 

900
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:40,600
Tractive thing. 
We have is the presence of Jesus

901
01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:45,500
in our life, that's the most. 
So tractional thing if you think

902
01:00:45,500 --> 01:00:49,100
people are coming to this church
because I am an amazing speaker.

903
01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:52,800
Come on somebody, you are wrong.
You think people come to this 

904
01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:56,800
church because of worship is on 
fire, which it is, but this not 

905
01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:59,100
just that it's the presence of 
God. 

906
01:00:59,300 --> 01:01:02,600
Amen. 
It's a tractional and so As a 

907
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:04,700
person for you to witness, 
somebody might say well how the 

908
01:01:04,707 --> 01:01:05,900
right words to say here all the 
time. 

909
01:01:05,900 --> 01:01:07,700
I don't know, I'd say I'm going 
to mess it up. 

910
01:01:07,700 --> 01:01:10,700
I don't know enough. 
Well the reality is you have 

911
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:14,200
Jesus you have the most 
attraction 'l thing you could 

912
01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:16,100
ever have the spirit of God 
Lives in You. 

913
01:01:16,300 --> 01:01:19,800
Jesus lives in you and all you 
have to do is just get out of 

914
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:22,000
the way. 
Like literally I'm not even tell

915
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:23,500
you what you say. 
It doesn't matter. 

916
01:01:23,500 --> 01:01:25,200
The Holy Spirit. 
She will give you the words if 

917
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:28,600
you want to tell us about Jesus 
just walk across the street and 

918
01:01:28,607 --> 01:01:31,100
start talking and all of a 
sudden Jesus in the country 

919
01:01:31,100 --> 01:01:32,800
conversation, if that's on your 
Heart. 

920
01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:34,800
It's just going to happen. 
That's what's going to happen, 

921
01:01:34,900 --> 01:01:37,400
but it's not about you. 
Like the neighbor might say, 

922
01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:39,800
well, I've see you over there 
that part of last week you're 

923
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:41,600
laying the front lawn had too 
much to drink. 

924
01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:45,100
Don't act like it's not you. 
Come on somebody. 

925
01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:50,100
I stare at the Sheep long enough
to know, right? 

926
01:01:50,500 --> 01:01:54,200
I know, I know but the reality 
is this, you could just simply 

927
01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:55,200
say to people hey, you know 
what? 

928
01:01:55,200 --> 01:01:57,700
I'm so glad that you recognize 
that because you're just not 

929
01:01:57,700 --> 01:01:59,500
about me. 
I've messed up so much or some 

930
01:01:59,500 --> 01:02:00,300
things. 
My life look. 

931
01:02:00,300 --> 01:02:02,700
Nothing, like, God and you get 
pulling the Jesus. 

932
01:02:02,700 --> 01:02:05,200
Amen. 
I'm not giving you excuses, sin,

933
01:02:05,300 --> 01:02:07,800
but I'm just telling you, you 
can have the confidence in the 

934
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:11,300
boldness to share Christ, 
because it's not my victory. 

935
01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:14,600
It was Jesus Victory. 
That's the story of our lives 

936
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:15,900
that we don't Point people to 
something. 

937
01:02:15,900 --> 01:02:18,300
We did, we points. 
I think that was finished for us

938
01:02:18,300 --> 01:02:21,200
on the cross, the final 
permanent victory of our sin 

939
01:02:21,300 --> 01:02:24,500
Jesus and we can boast and our 
defeat amen. 

940
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:28,000
We can say, I mess up, I'm not 
perfect. 

941
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:31,200
I'm sorry for all the times. 
I blotted out at all right? 

942
01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:33,000
And then, but Jesus has changed 
my life. 

943
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:34,700
I'm trying to like him. 
Follow the 10%. 

944
01:02:34,700 --> 01:02:37,900
Me looks like Christ and don't 
fall. 90% them look like Jesus. 

945
01:02:37,900 --> 01:02:40,600
Amen. 
I keep falling Christ together 

946
01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:43,200
on a journey together. 
I'm not the Savior an Aquos. 

947
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:46,100
I'm just a voice point of Christ
and added, humility and 

948
01:02:46,100 --> 01:02:49,300
Brokenness. 
And the God will lift you up. 

949
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:51,400
Lift your voice up and point 
people to him. 

950
01:02:51,700 --> 01:02:53,700
So I don't have all the right 
words or the right strategy, but

951
01:02:53,700 --> 01:02:56,500
I know it just takes you open 
your mouth and saying things 

952
01:02:56,500 --> 01:02:59,500
through Christ and it's amazing 
with the opportunity. 

953
01:02:59,500 --> 01:03:01,700
We have in front of you, if we 
would just step into them, 

954
01:03:02,100 --> 01:03:03,900
right? 
I mean I'm just telling you to 

955
01:03:03,900 --> 01:03:06,200
so many conversations that God 
brings in their life all the 

956
01:03:06,200 --> 01:03:09,400
time and I was like, man that 
was a great opportunity to share

957
01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:10,600
Jesus. 
With that person, you talk to 

958
01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:13,200
him for two hours and then say 
anything, could this have been 

959
01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:13,800
God's? 
Good. 

960
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:16,700
Didn't he what you mean? 
Like, I just got to get my life 

961
01:03:16,700 --> 01:03:18,500
really? 
Lee, I'm fond use my life. 

962
01:03:18,500 --> 01:03:20,500
You're a Christian. 
Do you have Hangouts for 20 

963
01:03:20,500 --> 01:03:22,400
years? 
I've known you a Christian, this

964
01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:23,800
credibly, see, a stuff all the 
time. 

965
01:03:23,900 --> 01:03:26,100
We should be the kind of people 
that we know everybody stayed 

966
01:03:26,100 --> 01:03:27,800
their soul. 
Amen. 

967
01:03:29,300 --> 01:03:31,000
Well yes, yes, sign of their 
head, right? 

968
01:03:31,500 --> 01:03:33,700
Like Bound for heaven, Bound for
hell. 

969
01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:37,800
You recognize who people are and
that gives you compassion 

970
01:03:38,300 --> 01:03:41,700
because we've messed up, right? 
I mean we can't live this 

971
01:03:41,700 --> 01:03:43,700
offended Christian life but 
everybody else or hate. 

972
01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:48,500
We've offended Jesus, but Jesus 
died for us and so we patiently 

973
01:03:48,500 --> 01:03:52,300
endure, right? 
Those around us because there's 

974
01:03:52,300 --> 01:03:54,800
people that have that, you don't
like, come on somebody, right? 

975
01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:57,400
And they need Jesus. 
And we deploy a part of the 

976
01:03:57,400 --> 01:04:01,600
radical transformation, and 
guess what he will, he will, he 

977
01:04:01,607 --> 01:04:03,800
will surprise you. 
And so the reality is this. 

978
01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:06,600
We need to recognize that we had
to have the presence of God in 

979
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:08,800
our life. 
I think the end of day you got 

980
01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:11,200
you got to come to statement, 
it's really simple, just stop 

981
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:14,400
making it about you. 
Just stop making it about you. 

982
01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:16,500
You know that's apply to every 
leader. 

983
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:19,200
It has ever spoken or shared or 
LED. 

984
01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:20,900
Something you always look back 
and go. 

985
01:04:20,900 --> 01:04:24,400
Oh I wish it would have are you 
didn't say that Rider man, laid 

986
01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:26,800
an egg right? 
You know, I get I get the 

987
01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:28,300
privilege do this every week, 
right? 

988
01:04:28,400 --> 01:04:32,000
And I know what is good, right? 
I just tried out, you know, I 

989
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:33,500
drive slow through the parking 
lot, you know. 

990
01:04:35,100 --> 01:04:37,800
And they know is goes bad, you 
roll the window up, you you 

991
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:41,500
little faster, right? 
But then in the day I'll walk on

992
01:04:41,508 --> 01:04:43,600
the stage and as his word 
Consecrate. 

993
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:47,300
I just give it to God. 
I said, God just use that. 

994
01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:50,600
Like, in my own weakness, your 
roommate strong. 

995
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:53,500
Like I did the best I could, and
I'm going to leave the rest to 

996
01:04:53,500 --> 01:04:56,200
you, Jesus. 
Like I can't wander around life 

997
01:04:56,200 --> 01:04:57,400
going. 
Oh, is it good enough? 

998
01:04:57,400 --> 01:04:58,800
Was it this enough? 
It's like, no God. 

999
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:00,000
You've got this. 
Amen. 

1000
01:05:00,500 --> 01:05:03,800
I trust you with this and so I 
don't live in fear, or, in 

1001
01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:06,300
boasting or insecurity or 
weakness. 

1002
01:05:06,300 --> 01:05:09,700
It's like he know God, you do 
what you do and although I do 

1003
01:05:09,700 --> 01:05:12,600
the best I can do and I laid out
a line for you and then just 

1004
01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:14,800
Wait for you to move and that's 
the fun. 

1005
01:05:14,800 --> 01:05:17,800
We used to have every single 
week every single day, really, 

1006
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:20,400
when we talk about Jesus because
you never feel like you did a 

1007
01:05:20,408 --> 01:05:22,100
good job. 
Amen, man. 

1008
01:05:22,100 --> 01:05:23,400
Look at me, I let that guy to 
Christ. 

1009
01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:26,200
It's like how that happened? 
Let's talk to you guys for 

1010
01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:29,700
listening to crisis week and 
he's like I had no idea how that

1011
01:05:29,700 --> 01:05:32,600
happened, right? 
We were talking about fireworks 

1012
01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:35,100
and then we talk about dying 
from fireworks and then we 

1013
01:05:35,100 --> 01:05:37,500
talked about what happened with 
died and then we talked about 

1014
01:05:37,500 --> 01:05:43,100
Jesus and they would be saved. 
Which is all his heart and God 

1015
01:05:43,100 --> 01:05:46,700
brought around. 
Amen, gasoline, the match Jesus 

1016
01:05:46,700 --> 01:05:48,700
out all came together. 
I just just worked out. 

1017
01:05:48,900 --> 01:05:52,000
But Mark chapter 2 says this 
this about how much passion she 

1018
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:54,900
have to share. 
Jesus, nothing's gonna stop us 

1019
01:05:54,900 --> 01:05:57,100
from doing this. 
But says, in chapter 2 verse 1, 

1020
01:05:57,100 --> 01:06:00,100
says a few days later, remember 
Jesus is extremely popular at 

1021
01:06:00,100 --> 01:06:03,000
the time when Jesus, again 
entered Capernaum where he's 

1022
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:05,300
been gone weeks and all these 
Villages, he's been the 

1023
01:06:05,300 --> 01:06:09,000
outskirts and darkness. 
Now he's back in the city, it's 

1024
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:12,100
going to get crazy everybody. 
Knows he's the Healer they can 

1025
01:06:12,100 --> 01:06:15,000
change lives. 
The people heard that he come 

1026
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:18,100
home back to this probably Peter
dangerous home, they gathered in

1027
01:06:18,100 --> 01:06:22,000
such large numbers, that there 
is no room left, not even 

1028
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:26,800
outside the door, he preached 
the word to them and some men 

1029
01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:32,600
came bringing to him a paralyzed
man carried by four of them. 

1030
01:06:32,800 --> 01:06:36,300
There's a group of men, there's 
four of them in the middle and 

1031
01:06:36,300 --> 01:06:39,200
all struggling to bring this 
paralyzed man in the presence of

1032
01:06:39,200 --> 01:06:42,700
Jesus and since it could not get
him to Jesus because of the 

1033
01:06:42,700 --> 01:06:45,600
crowd. 
There's so many people like 

1034
01:06:45,600 --> 01:06:49,300
sardines, packed, around the 
door, around the home me last 

1035
01:06:49,300 --> 01:06:51,300
time, there's 15,000. 
How many people you think are 

1036
01:06:51,300 --> 01:06:53,300
here now? 
They can't get the presence of 

1037
01:06:53,300 --> 01:06:55,100
Jesus. 
It says these men. 

1038
01:06:55,300 --> 01:06:59,800
They made an opening in the roof
above Jesus, by digging through 

1039
01:06:59,800 --> 01:07:03,700
it and they lowered the mat. 
The man was laying on into the 

1040
01:07:03,700 --> 01:07:07,400
presence of Jesus. 
Now, I want you to get your head

1041
01:07:07,700 --> 01:07:10,400
in the mindset of these four 
people because I read all the 

1042
01:07:10,408 --> 01:07:13,400
scripture up this point because 
this was going on their heads. 

1043
01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:15,000
Look man, I've heard about this 
guy. 

1044
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:19,100
Jesus heals lepers. 
He, he forgives sins. 

1045
01:07:19,100 --> 01:07:21,800
This boy, casts out demons and I
can't wait to go to church 

1046
01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:23,900
today. 
Buzzer to cast out a demon. 

1047
01:07:23,900 --> 01:07:27,900
The church like this is pretty 
with authority on the road. 

1048
01:07:27,900 --> 01:07:32,700
There, this is paralyzed, man. 
This man that they don't stop 

1049
01:07:32,700 --> 01:07:36,700
and help will not get to the 
presence of Jesus and how it 

1050
01:07:36,707 --> 01:07:38,000
broke down. 
But one of those men said, you 

1051
01:07:38,008 --> 01:07:40,200
know what we should do. 
Just everybody get a corner. 

1052
01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:42,300
We're going to carry this band 
of Jesus. 

1053
01:07:42,900 --> 01:07:46,100
I don't know if it's For miles, 
before hundred meters. 

1054
01:07:46,500 --> 01:07:49,800
How far They Carried him to the 
presence of God, but whatever 

1055
01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:51,800
obstacles are in the way. 
It didn't matter. 

1056
01:07:52,100 --> 01:07:54,100
You didn't I look like fools. 
Amen. 

1057
01:07:54,600 --> 01:07:55,900
Do you have? 
The proper equipment to carry 

1058
01:07:55,900 --> 01:07:56,800
some. 
Not a matte. 

1059
01:07:57,300 --> 01:08:00,300
Look like idiots, luckylove past
this person by unwilling to 

1060
01:08:00,300 --> 01:08:03,400
carry themselves, but they're 
willing to do it. 

1061
01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:07,100
They show up to his house and so
full of people that he can't get

1062
01:08:07,100 --> 01:08:09,000
to Jesus. 
The kitten was your way through 

1063
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:10,800
a crowd, even though get a 
paralyzed, man. 

1064
01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:14,300
That was willing to open the 
door for a pathway to And so, 

1065
01:08:14,300 --> 01:08:16,600
this blue collar, man, decided 
Blue Collar, right? 

1066
01:08:17,100 --> 01:08:21,700
Somebody decided had the 
audacity to Courage, the gut, 

1067
01:08:21,700 --> 01:08:25,800
the grit, the faith. 
A lot of words, like putting are

1068
01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:31,000
thinking of, but I can't say to 
get on the roof and just tear it

1069
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:33,600
off to get the presence of 
Jesus. 

1070
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:36,100
I mean, can you imagine the 
boldness that you interrupt, the

1071
01:08:36,100 --> 01:08:40,100
message of Jesus was preaching 
stomp on the roof? 

1072
01:08:40,500 --> 01:08:43,500
Taryn back, all the sticks, this
compacted clay. 

1073
01:08:43,700 --> 01:08:45,700
A which was hard. 
It's like a rock. 

1074
01:08:45,899 --> 01:08:49,100
They start beating it up out 
their hands though, this piece 

1075
01:08:49,100 --> 01:08:52,399
of dirt be thrown down on the 
people in the in the house and 

1076
01:08:52,399 --> 01:08:54,600
Jesus with a positive message by
this point because it's 

1077
01:08:54,600 --> 01:08:57,300
obviously so distracting. 
And he would have said this is 

1078
01:08:57,300 --> 01:08:59,700
about to be the greatest 
illustration of message of all 

1079
01:08:59,700 --> 01:09:02,700
time and just wait for this 
person to pop his head through. 

1080
01:09:02,700 --> 01:09:04,800
And there was some dude. 
What's up everybody? 

1081
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:07,700
All right, some dude, proud that
you made a hole in the roof. 

1082
01:09:07,800 --> 01:09:10,399
They stopped beating more and 
more, the roof apart until you 

1083
01:09:10,399 --> 01:09:12,500
got a hole. 
Big enough to lower entire man. 

1084
01:09:12,500 --> 01:09:15,700
So six foot. 
Footlong two-foot-wide, whoever 

1085
01:09:15,700 --> 01:09:19,200
the and they could these ropes 
on the mat and then lower them 

1086
01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:23,399
into the presence of Jesus. 
Dude, that's great. 

1087
01:09:23,899 --> 01:09:26,700
That's passion. 
Let's Go full of Faith. 

1088
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:28,600
They didn't care what Jesus was 
saying. 

1089
01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:29,800
They care. 
They're interrupting the 

1090
01:09:29,800 --> 01:09:32,899
message, they just knew. 
If I just get this man, it's 

1091
01:09:32,899 --> 01:09:36,600
just one sentence with a savior.
Everything is about to change 

1092
01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:39,000
for him. 
Verse 5 says this, when Jesus 

1093
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:42,600
saw their faith not just the 
paralyzed man's faith. 

1094
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:48,300
We saw All their faith, their 
faith said Son. 

1095
01:09:48,399 --> 01:09:52,100
Your sins are forgiven it 
incredible. 

1096
01:09:52,200 --> 01:09:53,700
This is the first time in the 
New Testament. 

1097
01:09:53,700 --> 01:09:57,500
You see Jesus forgiving sins. 
This was a new thing. 

1098
01:09:57,700 --> 01:10:00,500
He casts out demons, he healed 
people, but this time he said, 

1099
01:10:00,500 --> 01:10:04,100
your sins are forgiven that he 
made him whole. 

1100
01:10:04,300 --> 01:10:06,400
Do you realize this paralyzed, 
man, who thought he was 

1101
01:10:06,400 --> 01:10:08,300
paralyzed? 
Because he did something wrong, 

1102
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:13,100
but he thought his sin caused 
him to be a quadriplegic or to 

1103
01:10:13,100 --> 01:10:15,300
be. 
Wised, he thought he deserved 

1104
01:10:15,300 --> 01:10:19,400
this but he earned this. 
His life was so miserable. 

1105
01:10:20,100 --> 01:10:24,200
This is my Penance, this is why 
I deserve it. 

1106
01:10:24,200 --> 01:10:27,100
So, Jesus knew like I'm gonna 
tell this boy, he's made whole 

1107
01:10:27,100 --> 01:10:30,000
today. 
Amen, he forgave him. 

1108
01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:34,300
I think about that story of 
faith of the others with him, 

1109
01:10:34,300 --> 01:10:37,400
that made him whole. 
I mean, could it possibly be 

1110
01:10:37,900 --> 01:10:41,300
that the faith of Dennis? 
Healed his granddaughter. 

1111
01:10:43,100 --> 01:10:46,700
Could it possibly be that he 
begged God for his life? 

1112
01:10:46,700 --> 01:10:49,700
He would follow him. 
The God just maybe struck a 

1113
01:10:49,708 --> 01:10:53,300
little bit of a deal. 
He had the faith that God can do

1114
01:10:53,300 --> 01:10:55,600
it. 
God is always work that way. 

1115
01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:59,400
And I was saying it, I'll often 
times like healing and miracles 

1116
01:10:59,400 --> 01:11:03,100
happen to us have eternity, but 
the reality is we play a part of

1117
01:11:03,100 --> 01:11:05,800
the story, more than we think. 
So many times in the Bible is 

1118
01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:07,200
like I can't get cast out this 
demon. 

1119
01:11:07,200 --> 01:11:08,900
I can do this. 
You guys will some things only 

1120
01:11:08,900 --> 01:11:12,600
come through prayer and fasting 
is the presence of God. 

1121
01:11:13,300 --> 01:11:15,000
What do you want to see this 
change? 

1122
01:11:15,700 --> 01:11:19,200
So maybe didn't activate the 
holy spirit's power of healing. 

1123
01:11:20,900 --> 01:11:23,200
But says there's a Verse 6, he 
says, now, some teachers of law 

1124
01:11:23,200 --> 01:11:25,500
were sitting there thinking 
themselves. 

1125
01:11:25,600 --> 01:11:27,100
I love that Jesus read people's 
minds. 

1126
01:11:27,600 --> 01:11:29,800
He says, why does this fellow 
talk like this? 

1127
01:11:29,900 --> 01:11:32,800
He's blaspheming slender God. 
Who can forgive sins, but God 

1128
01:11:32,800 --> 01:11:35,200
alone, right? 
Question didn't like the answer,

1129
01:11:35,200 --> 01:11:37,300
right? 
And immediately, Jesus knew in 

1130
01:11:37,300 --> 01:11:39,900
his spirit that this was what 
they were thinking in their 

1131
01:11:39,900 --> 01:11:41,400
hearts. 
They said to them, I'm sure by 

1132
01:11:41,400 --> 01:11:45,200
complete and utter surprise. 
And she said, why are you 

1133
01:11:45,200 --> 01:11:49,200
thinking these things? 
Which is easier to say this 

1134
01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:51,300
paralyzed, man, your sins are 
forgiven. 

1135
01:11:51,600 --> 01:11:56,800
Bruce a good up, take your mat 
and walk chewing things easier. 

1136
01:11:57,400 --> 01:12:02,100
So Jesus he says this but I want
you to know today that the son 

1137
01:12:02,100 --> 01:12:08,700
of man has Authority on Earth to
forgive sins. 

1138
01:12:09,300 --> 01:12:13,500
If this boy picks up his math 
and he walks out of this room, 

1139
01:12:14,300 --> 01:12:17,700
then you have no doubt in your 
mind that I'm the Son of God. 

1140
01:12:17,900 --> 01:12:20,900
And I forgave his sins. 
Amen. 

1141
01:12:22,100 --> 01:12:24,600
The be no doubt in your mind. 
I mean, it's so much easier, 

1142
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:27,800
obviously have some healed and 
forgive sins, but a trick 

1143
01:12:27,800 --> 01:12:31,600
question, right? 
And so Jesus, he said to the man

1144
01:12:31,600 --> 01:12:36,500
I tell you get up, take your mat
and go home and this boy got up 

1145
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:42,300
took his math and I love it. 
He strutted across the room and 

1146
01:12:42,300 --> 01:12:44,600
front of everybody. 
Amen. 

1147
01:12:45,400 --> 01:12:47,800
I'm he was been like, yeah, I 
was healed today. 

1148
01:12:47,800 --> 01:12:49,500
All y'all didn't make room for 
me. 

1149
01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:51,400
Watch me walk out of here. 
Make way. 

1150
01:12:52,400 --> 01:12:56,000
I'm going home and that moment 
every realized that this truly 

1151
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:59,500
is the son of man. 
This is some God, there's no one

1152
01:12:59,500 --> 01:13:01,300
coming. 
Son of man comes from, Daniel 

1153
01:13:01,300 --> 01:13:04,700
chapter 7, it's a reference to 
the Messiah, the come. 

1154
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:07,500
So he says the son of man. 
He's referring to something. 

1155
01:13:07,500 --> 01:13:11,200
Everybody know In this passage, 
it says this, this amazed 

1156
01:13:11,200 --> 01:13:15,400
everyone and they praised God 
saying, we have never seen 

1157
01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:21,200
anything like this. 
Like I tell you today in 2023, 

1158
01:13:21,500 --> 01:13:27,300
Two thousand years later. 
They ain't seen nothing yet. 

1159
01:13:28,700 --> 01:13:33,300
You ain't seen nothing yet. 
Do you think God still wants to 

1160
01:13:33,300 --> 01:13:35,900
move today? 
There's people to be healed 

1161
01:13:35,900 --> 01:13:38,700
today. 
There's people either the stone 

1162
01:13:38,700 --> 01:13:42,400
and the way of Shame rolled off 
their life today that there's 

1163
01:13:42,400 --> 01:13:44,200
people need to get to heaven 
today. 

1164
01:13:44,600 --> 01:13:47,200
There's some people that are 
walking, we walk by all the time

1165
01:13:47,200 --> 01:13:50,300
that we just stopped. 
Just have a hard heart 

1166
01:13:50,300 --> 01:13:53,300
conversation and carry them to 
Jesus. 

1167
01:13:53,900 --> 01:13:56,700
They would get Share the good 
news of Christ. 

1168
01:13:57,000 --> 01:13:59,700
Do we should be okay with being 
interrupted and the line at 

1169
01:13:59,700 --> 01:14:02,100
Target. 
Come on somebody, right? 

1170
01:14:02,100 --> 01:14:05,500
We should just move aside and 
make room just playing on two 

1171
01:14:05,500 --> 01:14:08,000
hours a day that you're going to
invest in the kingdom of God, by

1172
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:10,800
being interrupted with the 
people that come to you. 

1173
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:13,800
In the end the day, you can find
it like a spot in your life, 

1174
01:14:14,300 --> 01:14:17,600
isolated way and you can pray to
God and say thank you. 

1175
01:14:17,600 --> 01:14:20,100
Jesus will work. 
We're doing got restore me and 

1176
01:14:20,100 --> 01:14:22,900
give me strength of them are 0 
because our somebody that's 

1177
01:14:22,900 --> 01:14:26,200

Jesus now, will rip the roof off

1178
01:14:26,200 --> 01:14:29,600
this place if I have to. 
So this week, I just got to know

1179
01:14:29,700 --> 01:14:32,000
who's on your heart. 
That needs to get to Jesus. 

1180
01:14:32,600 --> 01:14:34,500
Who's not going to get there 
without you saying something. 

1181
01:14:35,500 --> 01:14:37,100
I'ma tell you, so I'm not sure 
what your house. 

1182
01:14:37,500 --> 01:14:41,600

1184
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:45,700
Amen! 
God gave a witness to your home 

1185
01:14:45,900 --> 01:14:48,200
and got your witness here, block
and get which the city. 

1186
01:14:48,200 --> 01:14:50,500
That's us. 
That's where called who is God. 

1187
01:14:50,500 --> 01:14:51,600
Going your heart to bring it to 
Jesus. 

1188
01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:54,200
We can't think of somebody, he's
praying ass and Godzilla. 

1189
01:14:54,300 --> 01:14:56,900
Give you somebody before. 
You hit the parking, lot of the 

1190
01:14:56,900 --> 01:14:59,100
restaurant. 
You go to the be somebody tell 

1191
01:14:59,200 --> 01:15:02,500
about Jesus, the same thing. 
Is this, how far are you willing

1192
01:15:02,500 --> 01:15:05,100
to go? 
How hard are you willing to go 

1193
01:15:05,100 --> 01:15:07,900
after to bring somebody to 
Jesus? 

1194
01:15:08,400 --> 01:15:10,900
How far are you willing to carry
if we were in the parade? 

1195
01:15:11,600 --> 01:15:14,800
How L Dash? 
This is your faith, right? 

1196
01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:16,900
But like, how bowl is your 
faith? 

1197
01:15:17,100 --> 01:15:18,700
I hope next week that this 
package place. 

1198
01:15:18,700 --> 01:15:21,200
So packed out, that one of y'all
going to get on the roof and you

1199
01:15:21,200 --> 01:15:22,400
start tearing a hole through 
here. 

1200
01:15:22,400 --> 01:15:24,100
We're going to get a bill. 
Come on somebody. 

1201
01:15:24,500 --> 01:15:26,700
Right. 
But someday, I'll get to do 

1202
01:15:26,700 --> 01:15:28,000
that. 
And that's what that's what you 

1203
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:29,600
have to do for the cause of 
Christ. 

1204
01:15:29,800 --> 01:15:31,700
Like, there's nothing greater 
really one thing. 

1205
01:15:31,700 --> 01:15:34,700
Great in your life, you should 
live for and I'll gladly hand 

1206
01:15:34,700 --> 01:15:37,700
this hope this somebody else. 
I'll go do something else but 

1207
01:15:37,708 --> 01:15:39,700
there's nothing greater in your 
life. 

1208
01:15:39,700 --> 01:15:43,400
The calling to be a fisher of 
you guys. 

1209
01:15:43,400 --> 01:15:44,700
Ready to tear the roof off this 
place. 

1210
01:15:45,300 --> 01:15:48,300
Come on, Father God, we come 
before you got to ask our 

1211
01:15:48,300 --> 01:15:50,800
church, to be the church, just 
the people of God humbly out of 

1212
01:15:50,800 --> 01:15:53,100
the way, but we're not 
qualified. 

1213
01:15:53,100 --> 01:15:57,100
I good enough but got you So 
God, we ask you to move through 

1214
01:15:57,100 --> 01:16:00,600
us God, through the mouthpiece, 
to the voice that points. 

1215
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:03,800
This brings people God to you 
and you do the work. 

1216
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:06,400
I'll pray for our church today, 
those who say, you know, what 

1217
01:16:06,500 --> 01:16:08,200
I've been about business as 
usual. 

1218
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:10,500
I've been going through the 
motions. 

1219
01:16:10,700 --> 01:16:13,500
I've been going back to my net, 
something about the business of 

1220
01:16:13,500 --> 01:16:16,200
all my heart and stock my fears 
all about the things of this 

1221
01:16:16,200 --> 01:16:19,400
world. 
So full the world, I hardly room

1222
01:16:19,400 --> 01:16:21,300
for Jesus. 
But today, I recognize obvious 

1223
01:16:21,300 --> 01:16:24,900
Fisher for men, some things that
leave behind Some relationships 

1224
01:16:24,900 --> 01:16:26,400
that lie behind the day of 
moving forward. 

1225
01:16:26,400 --> 01:16:28,800
Things are Christ. 
If that's you day and you feel 

1226
01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:33,000
God's calling use the person in 
your life, you will to step up 

1227
01:16:33,000 --> 01:16:35,600
with passion to reach people at,
that's the call you feel from 

1228
01:16:35,600 --> 01:16:36,600
God. 
Today, We Salute, Your Hand 

1229
01:16:36,600 --> 01:16:39,800
high, this place to that's me, 
come onto your hands across the 

1230
01:16:39,800 --> 01:16:43,900
room or across the room. 
Father, thank you so much for 

1231
01:16:43,900 --> 01:16:45,900
moving for speaking today, 
through your word. 

1232
01:16:46,100 --> 01:16:49,400
And I prayed give boldness to 
those are speaking to you 

1233
01:16:49,400 --> 01:16:52,100
because you give courage 
reminding them that the first 

1234
01:16:52,100 --> 01:16:53,600
people in life. 
They're going to recognize this 

1235
01:16:53,600 --> 01:16:57,400
call is Be somebody that's gonna
be friendly. - did you give us 

1236
01:16:57,400 --> 01:17:00,500
strength and courage that they 
push and take ground from the 

1237
01:17:00,500 --> 01:17:02,700
enemy? 
Well, he gets difficult just let

1238
01:17:02,700 --> 01:17:06,000
them know her mind them that's 
because this is a spiritual 

1239
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:10,200
battle field, not a playground. 
So God help us to pursue and see

1240
01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:12,600
people change and say for you, 
I'll pray for what we're group 

1241
01:17:12,600 --> 01:17:14,700
people in the house. 
And that's those, you may feel 

1242
01:17:14,700 --> 01:17:18,000
like the paralyzed man, be feel 
like your sins have held you 

1243
01:17:18,000 --> 01:17:20,800
back that maybe you're out today
because you're done things wrong

1244
01:17:20,800 --> 01:17:24,100
in your life that you've been 
all about maybe trying to her 

1245
01:17:24,200 --> 01:17:27,300
Earn your way back, maybe you 
feel defeated or overwhelmed and

1246
01:17:27,300 --> 01:17:30,100
you've just held back by 
mistakes and you don't think 

1247
01:17:30,100 --> 01:17:32,800
there's any room for Grace, but 
the day you recognize, that 

1248
01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:36,900
Jesus has the authority to 
forgive you and forgive sin in 

1249
01:17:36,900 --> 01:17:39,400
your life. 
You just need Jesus. 

1250
01:17:39,900 --> 01:17:41,900
And so today, if you want to 
relationship with Jesus, the 

1251
01:17:41,900 --> 01:17:43,600
Bible says he calls him. 
Lord be saved. 

1252
01:17:43,600 --> 01:17:46,100
Forgiven and Maiden do mr. 
Vitti. 

1253
01:17:46,100 --> 01:17:47,800
Jesus day. 
If that's you then be looking 

1254
01:17:47,800 --> 01:17:49,000
around. 
You should Lift Your Hand high 

1255
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:51,900
as I need Jesus today, and Jesus
changed my life. 

1256

Let's see your We'll send in

01:17:58,600 --> 01:18:01,100
That's you. 
I'm leading a prayer is prayer 

1259
01:18:01,100 --> 01:18:03,700
to save you, but she's your 
heart towards God. 

1260
01:18:04,200 --> 01:18:07,000
It's her surrender. 
Say, father God, thanks so much 

1261
01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:12,000
for sending Jesus to come and 
tell the world about himself.

01:18:12,500 --> 01:18:16,200

you can speak a word in my life.

1264
01:18:19,200 --> 01:18:22,500
God you forgiven me, my sins are

1265
01:18:22,600 --> 01:18:26,900
I made whole A, I can stand up 
in the calling of God and I can 

1266
01:18:26,900 --> 01:18:31,400
walk out of this place, the 
mission to reach people, because

So God, let's give the Lord and 
give the praise and pray this in

1269
01:18:37,900 --> 01:18:41,400
Jesus name and the church said, 
amen. 

1270
01:18:41,400 --> 01:18:42,900
Come on. 
You have to Jesus. 

1271
01:18:43,300 --> 01:18:47,100
He left the god. 
Well, hey, if you raise your 

1272
01:18:47,100 --> 01:18:50,200

today, we are just so excited 

1273
01:18:50,200 --> 01:18:51,000

Next steps you can take Take 
right now. 

1276
01:18:54,900 --> 01:18:58,800
So as Brandon showed us earlier 
this morning, everyone's got one

1277
01:18:58,800 --> 01:19:01,100
of these communication cards on 
their chair. 

1278
01:19:01,100 --> 01:19:04,900
And on there, you're going to 
see a box that says, I committed

1279
01:19:04,900 --> 01:19:08,400
my life to Jesus. 
So if that was you today, I want

1280
01:19:08,400 --> 01:19:10,400
you to check that box. 
I want you to put in your 

1281
01:19:10,400 --> 01:19:15,200
information because we want to 
mail you a free resource this 

1282
01:19:15,200 --> 01:19:16,800
week. 
We're going to mail you a book. 

1283
01:19:16,800 --> 01:19:20,500
It's called begin and it's real 
shorts only about 100 pages 

1284
01:19:20,500 --> 01:19:24,000
long, but it's going to be an 
awesome launch point for you. 

1285
01:19:24,200 --> 01:19:28,300
You, as you take this next step 
on your journey with Jesus. 

1286
01:19:28,300 --> 01:19:30,900
We love to bless you with that 
this week. 

1287
01:19:30,900 --> 01:19:33,000
And another thing you can do, on
your way, out the door. 

1288
01:19:33,000 --> 01:19:35,600
You'll see a table in the back 
with some red bags, grab one of 

1289
01:19:35,608 --> 01:19:39,400
those in, there's a Bible and 
you can just dive into God's 

1290
01:19:39,400 --> 01:19:44,200
word as this afternoon and just 
see what he has for you today. 

1291
01:19:44,400 --> 01:19:48,200
And there's also more resources 
in there. 

1292
01:19:48,400 --> 01:19:51,000
May not know about you guys, but
I thought Shawn just preached 

1293
01:19:51,000 --> 01:19:54,100
down the house today, God's 
using him in a mighty way. 

1294
01:19:54,500 --> 01:19:57,100
As he asked, that's right. 
Give it up for God. 

1295
01:19:57,100 --> 01:19:59,700
And Sean is being able to be 
used by God. 

1296
01:19:59,700 --> 01:20:03,200
And he really just encourage us 
to be passionate this week about

1297
01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:06,000
bringing people and I love that 
line. 

1298
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:09,800
You ain't seen nothing yet. 
If you're anything like me, I 

1299
01:20:09,800 --> 01:20:12,500
had my fingers and toes crossed 
that Sean was going to give us a

1300
01:20:12,700 --> 01:20:14,700
but baby, you just ain't seen 
nothing yet. 

1301
01:20:14,700 --> 01:20:17,500
Maybe if we ask him in the hub, 
he can bless us with that. 

1302
01:20:17,600 --> 01:20:21,700
But but for real guys, next week
is the week, right? 

1303
01:20:21,700 --> 01:20:25,800
It's Easter Sunday, probably the

the roof, right.

Maybe you can give some of your 
Sunday morning next week to just

1359
01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:11,600
help out by serving for one week
only. 

1360
01:23:11,600 --> 01:23:14,300
There's a box on here for that 
but maybe you're ready to put 

1361
01:23:14,300 --> 01:23:17,000
some Roots down and join the 
Dream Team and actually discover

1362
01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:19,700
your purpose. 
We have a crash course coming up

right there in the bucket as it 
passes.

Speaking of the buckets guys, 
your generosity is making a huge

1372
01:23:43,300 --> 01:23:45,900
difference at Real Life Church. 
It's because of your generosity
