00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:21.900
 Hi, and welcome to the Willow Ridge Church weekly podcast.

00:00:22.400 --> 00:00:25.500
 This is where you can find audio for our current and past sermons.

00:00:25.740 --> 00:00:30.040
 We hope that you enjoy this week's installment, and be sure to check back next week to hear

00:00:30.040 --> 00:00:30.880
 the latest message.

00:00:31.300 --> 00:00:32.080
 Thanks for listening.

00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:46.800
 Well, good morning.

00:00:48.160 --> 00:00:51.360
 If you would, take your Bible and turn to Luke chapter 1.

00:00:52.100 --> 00:00:56.280
 We're going to be looking at, starting at looking at verse 26.

00:00:56.980 --> 00:01:02.540
 We're going to be looking at the account of Mary with the angel Gabriel this morning during

00:01:02.540 --> 00:01:03.700
 our Christmas series.

00:01:04.660 --> 00:01:07.220
 But as you're turning there, I've got a question for you.

00:01:08.080 --> 00:01:15.680
 Right now, what impossible task or situation are you facing?

00:01:16.800 --> 00:01:22.840
 Right now, what impossible task or situation are you facing?

00:01:24.340 --> 00:01:29.300
 I said, well, Pastor Dave, that's a funny kind of question for a Christmas service series.

00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:34.800
 Yet, as we read together, you'll see that Mary faced an impossible task.

00:01:35.740 --> 00:01:36.700
 Let me ask you this.

00:01:36.740 --> 00:01:38.320
 Are you trying to figure it out on your own?

00:01:39.780 --> 00:01:45.580
 Are you trying to come up with your own plan to accomplish the task or the plan to manage

00:01:45.580 --> 00:01:46.400
 that situation?

00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:52.340
 In the future, how will you take on an impossible task or situation?

00:01:53.380 --> 00:01:55.800
 And where does God fit into that solution?

00:01:57.800 --> 00:02:02.100
 This morning, as I came to church, got into my office and kind of finished up with some

00:02:02.100 --> 00:02:07.880
 last details of the message, I opened up my emails just to see if there's anything I need

00:02:07.880 --> 00:02:09.120
 to respond to or look at.

00:02:09.220 --> 00:02:14.780
 And sure enough, of all things, there happened to be an email from a good friend who began

00:02:14.780 --> 00:02:18.440
 to share with me what he and his wife were going through with a family member.

00:02:19.440 --> 00:02:24.400
 And as I continued to read down through the email, I was like, wow, what an impossible task.

00:02:25.780 --> 00:02:31.300
 And then I began to think about some of you who are sitting in this very room and some of

00:02:31.300 --> 00:02:34.340
 the situations that you're facing that seem impossible.

00:02:35.340 --> 00:02:39.460
 Or maybe some of the tasks that you're about to venture on that seem impossible.

00:02:40.580 --> 00:02:46.140
 But as we'll discover in this passage this morning, sometimes the impossible comes our way because

00:02:46.140 --> 00:02:49.440
 God wants to place us in front of the impossible.

00:02:50.220 --> 00:02:52.220
 God needs our help.

00:02:52.500 --> 00:02:53.940
 God wants to use us.

00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:56.640
 And the task seems to be impossible.

00:02:57.600 --> 00:03:02.460
 So maybe this morning for you, it's God prompting your heart or clearly God has said to you,

00:03:02.460 --> 00:03:04.820
 I need you to do this.

00:03:06.340 --> 00:03:09.680
 And your question, just like Mary's, was, well, how?

00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:12.480
 It's an honest question, isn't it?

00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:19.400
 Have you ever taken the time to reflect or study on the truths of Scripture that show us enormously

00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:24.100
 the impossibilities that God makes possible?

00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:26.080
 The Scriptures are filled with it.

00:03:27.500 --> 00:03:29.160
 You'll recall most of these.

00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:33.240
 The universe is spoken into existence that we see in Genesis.

00:03:34.300 --> 00:03:39.580
 The children of Israel cross the Red Sea, not just cross it, but they cross it on dry land.

00:03:41.040 --> 00:03:45.760
 Three men walk out of a fiery furnace with no burns and no scent of fire.

00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:48.920
 A shepherd boy defeats a giant.

00:03:49.720 --> 00:03:52.220
 Water is turned into wine at a wedding feast.

00:03:52.480 --> 00:03:54.320
 Individuals brought back from the dead.

00:03:55.380 --> 00:03:57.060
 The blind are made to see.

00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:03.940
 Countless biblical accounts in Scriptures where we see God do the impossible.

00:04:06.320 --> 00:04:09.760
 In the passage that we're looking at this morning, verse 37, it says,

00:04:09.920 --> 00:04:11.640
 The angel Gabriel says to Mary,

00:04:12.220 --> 00:04:16.200
 For nothing is impossible with God.

00:04:16.280 --> 00:04:19.380
 For nothing will be impossible with God.

00:04:20.660 --> 00:04:24.460
 It doesn't say that there are some things that are impossible for God to do.

00:04:24.520 --> 00:04:25.360
 It doesn't say that.

00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:29.900
 Thankfully, it says that God will do the impossible.

00:04:30.100 --> 00:04:32.340
 That nothing is impossible for him.

00:04:33.080 --> 00:04:36.320
 Then in Matthew, the 19th chapter, verse 26,

00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:42.780
 It's the account where the rich young man comes to Jesus and asks him how he can get into heaven.

00:04:43.780 --> 00:04:44.820
 And Jesus says to him,

00:04:44.860 --> 00:04:46.840
 Sell everything you got because he was rich.

00:04:47.400 --> 00:04:52.060
 And he realized he liked his riches more than he was really willing to follow the Lord.

00:04:52.780 --> 00:04:54.560
 And it says that he walks away sadly.

00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:58.400
 And at that, Jesus looks at his disciples and said these words,

00:04:59.400 --> 00:05:02.160
 With man, this is impossible.

00:05:03.320 --> 00:05:06.620
 But with God, all things are possible.

00:05:06.620 --> 00:05:10.420
 With man, this is impossible.

00:05:10.700 --> 00:05:13.820
 But with God, all things are possible.

00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:17.140
 What is it that you are facing?

00:05:18.640 --> 00:05:26.480
 Whether it be a task or a situation or a message that God has clearly given you that seems impossible.

00:05:27.700 --> 00:05:31.880
 But as we will discover today, the Lord will make it possible.

00:05:33.420 --> 00:05:38.180
 This summer, I got to witness God pull off the impossible with the airlines.

00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:43.840
 If you've been familiar with flying anywhere in the U.S. or around the world,

00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:47.840
 Anytime you mention airlines and you mention going someplace,

00:05:48.320 --> 00:05:54.600
 You know there's always the possibility of you not getting to your destination when you're supposed to.

00:05:55.440 --> 00:06:02.020
 This summer, I had the privilege of taking 20 of us, 11 students, 9 adults, to Utah

00:06:02.020 --> 00:06:05.940
 To work with our partner, Hope Valley Community Church.

00:06:06.980 --> 00:06:08.320
 And so we had to fly.

00:06:08.420 --> 00:06:09.120
 We weren't driving.

00:06:09.220 --> 00:06:10.240
 That would take too many days.

00:06:10.300 --> 00:06:11.160
 So we're flying.

00:06:12.260 --> 00:06:15.520
 And Mike Morgan had helped out make the arrangements for the flight.

00:06:15.620 --> 00:06:19.020
 And when you do group arrangements, you just get what they give you.

00:06:19.080 --> 00:06:20.160
 You don't get to choose.

00:06:20.960 --> 00:06:24.740
 And I remember, it was in April, I remember looking on the itinerary.

00:06:24.740 --> 00:06:27.480
 And it showed our trip back from Utah.

00:06:27.820 --> 00:06:34.140
 It showed that we had an hour in between our flight coming into Dallas and leaving Dallas.

00:06:34.880 --> 00:06:41.900
 And I've flown enough to know that you have an hour, you may not meet that flight.

00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:47.720
 And so here we are, Saturday morning, getting ready to head back to Columbia.

00:06:47.760 --> 00:06:54.100
 We've had a fantastic week of ministering and being a part of the work that God's doing at Hope Valley Church.

00:06:54.420 --> 00:06:56.800
 Just an incredible week with the students and the adults.

00:06:57.900 --> 00:07:05.760
 And I wake up Saturday morning and I look at my phone and I see a text from the airlines that says,

00:07:06.580 --> 00:07:10.360
 Your flight, leaving Salt Lake City, is delayed.

00:07:11.280 --> 00:07:12.560
 I don't know what you got to be kidding me.

00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:15.380
 I am ready to get home.

00:07:15.620 --> 00:07:19.300
 It's been a great week, but I am ready to leave.

00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:23.460
 And so I go downstairs and I share with Mike.

00:07:23.640 --> 00:07:26.020
 Mike's a whiz with the airline stuff.

00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:27.660
 Mike gets on the phone.

00:07:27.780 --> 00:07:28.860
 He's trying to get through.

00:07:29.380 --> 00:07:31.940
 Mike says, better yet, Dave, I think if we can pack.

00:07:32.760 --> 00:07:38.780
 And if we can clean this house and get to the airport and try to work on things, we might have a chance.

00:07:39.280 --> 00:07:47.840
 So 20 of us finished packing all our luggage and cleaned the VRBO house that we lived in that entire week.

00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:51.440
 And we loaded up the vans in an hour and a half.

00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:57.740
 That was one thing that blew my mind, that we all did that in under an hour and a half.

00:07:58.300 --> 00:08:07.060
 Not to mention that 20 of us smoothly navigated using three restrooms for 20 people all week long.

00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:11.480
 And it never got to me that anybody fussed about not getting in the restroom.

00:08:11.640 --> 00:08:14.580
 That was an incredible feat in and of itself.

00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:16.660
 We make it to the airport.

00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:20.580
 By the time we get to the airport, Mike, correct me if I'm wrong,

00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:24.640
 I think Mike was still on hold after about two hours.

00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:27.360
 We don't get to change our flight.

00:08:27.740 --> 00:08:28.840
 We go through the process.

00:08:28.840 --> 00:08:33.740
 Our flight's not out of Lake City until 4 o'clock, Salt Lake City time.

00:08:34.160 --> 00:08:36.560
 And so we're sitting in the airport that entire time.

00:08:36.640 --> 00:08:37.720
 So what do you think I'm doing?

00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:39.560
 I'm looking at my phone.

00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:41.320
 We got any more delays?

00:08:41.640 --> 00:08:42.260
 What's happening?

00:08:42.940 --> 00:08:45.660
 Finally get to our gate, sitting there at the gate.

00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:51.540
 And I'm watching the sign at our gate, talking about our flight.

00:08:52.780 --> 00:08:58.060
 And the flight coming into Salt Lake City that we're supposed to get on to get to Dallas is delayed.

00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:01.240
 So now the hour goes even deeper.

00:09:01.620 --> 00:09:04.000
 I'm like, and here's the thing.

00:09:04.100 --> 00:09:08.660
 We told the students, and in the riding van, we prayed, God, work it out.

00:09:09.260 --> 00:09:10.680
 We all want to get home.

00:09:10.900 --> 00:09:14.360
 Some of them, I think, had the idea that if we don't, we get to stay in Dallas.

00:09:14.420 --> 00:09:16.040
 And that was exciting some of the students.

00:09:16.400 --> 00:09:18.000
 Not me and maybe some of the adults.

00:09:18.180 --> 00:09:19.420
 We wanted to be in our house.

00:09:21.060 --> 00:09:22.980
 We sat there, and I prayed.

00:09:23.820 --> 00:09:28.980
 A little bit later, sure enough, their flight still slowing down coming into Salt Lake.

00:09:28.980 --> 00:09:29.740
 So I prayed.

00:09:30.580 --> 00:09:31.520
 Now, I'll be honest with you.

00:09:31.580 --> 00:09:33.620
 As I prayed, there was that sliver of doubt saying,

00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:36.080
 Yeah, I'm not getting home tonight.

00:09:36.300 --> 00:09:37.540
 I'm going to be in Dallas.

00:09:38.100 --> 00:09:42.900
 I didn't want to think about how to get, you know, getting 20 people into a hotel room,

00:09:43.300 --> 00:09:46.260
 getting them fed, getting them back on a plane the next morning.

00:09:46.420 --> 00:09:47.940
 All that was supposed to be done.

00:09:49.040 --> 00:09:50.780
 We finally get on our plane.

00:09:51.900 --> 00:09:54.640
 And we get in towards Dallas, and I'm thinking,

00:09:54.740 --> 00:09:56.780
 All right, we got to get off the plane.

00:09:57.820 --> 00:09:59.500
 We got to, if you've ever been to Dallas Airport,

00:09:59.740 --> 00:10:02.240
 you get off at your terminal, catch the tram,

00:10:02.500 --> 00:10:04.860
 and you got to go to wherever your next plane is.

00:10:04.920 --> 00:10:07.460
 And it may not be right next door to your gate.

00:10:08.020 --> 00:10:11.640
 It may be in terminal C, B, or A.

00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:13.020
 We flew into D.

00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:14.400
 We had to get to B.

00:10:15.020 --> 00:10:16.300
 So we are booking.

00:10:16.680 --> 00:10:18.220
 Oh, I forgot to tell you this.

00:10:18.560 --> 00:10:20.060
 We're all in the back of the plane.

00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:22.260
 The last seat.

00:10:23.380 --> 00:10:25.860
 I'm sitting with Christine and one of the other students,

00:10:25.940 --> 00:10:28.580
 or it might just be Christine and I and the other students across the way,

00:10:28.760 --> 00:10:31.940
 and we are three rows from the back,

00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:33.680
 and I think there's like 30 rows.

00:10:34.900 --> 00:10:37.000
 I'm like, unbelievable.

00:10:37.940 --> 00:10:39.560
 We tried to figure something out,

00:10:39.680 --> 00:10:43.040
 and Mike got on the plane at a good seat like row nine,

00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:45.300
 and we switched seats with him and Moses,

00:10:45.660 --> 00:10:48.620
 hoping that Moses could get to the gate sooner than we once we landed.

00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:53.260
 But as we approached Dallas, the pilot gets on the intercom system.

00:10:53.660 --> 00:10:56.240
 We have a group that needs to connect to their flight.

00:10:56.500 --> 00:11:00.520
 If you are not in a hurry, would you please remain seated so that they can get off?

00:11:01.400 --> 00:11:03.140
 And I'm thinking, wow.

00:11:04.420 --> 00:11:05.680
 The plane lands.

00:11:06.880 --> 00:11:08.540
 We get up out of our seat.

00:11:08.820 --> 00:11:12.880
 By that time, we are already 20 minutes past time the plane is supposed to leave.

00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:15.000
 Didn't stop praying.

00:11:16.160 --> 00:11:18.560
 And at this point, I'm almost at the excited part that,

00:11:18.920 --> 00:11:21.680
 man, if I get on that plane to Columbia,

00:11:22.140 --> 00:11:24.940
 whoo, am I going to be excited for God?

00:11:26.340 --> 00:11:27.860
 And we get off that plane,

00:11:28.760 --> 00:11:29.740
 and we're running.

00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:31.660
 We are running through the airport.

00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:34.400
 The kids, the other adults, they're leaving me.

00:11:34.900 --> 00:11:37.220
 I don't know the last time I ran anywhere,

00:11:37.340 --> 00:11:39.480
 let alone with a backpack running through an airport.

00:11:40.340 --> 00:11:41.760
 And we get to the escalator.

00:11:41.880 --> 00:11:42.880
 We get on the tram.

00:11:42.980 --> 00:11:44.640
 We get all the way to gate B.

00:11:45.020 --> 00:11:45.720
 And again, I'm like,

00:11:46.220 --> 00:11:48.480
 one, I'm about to die right here in Dallas Airport

00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:50.280
 because I've not ran like this ever.

00:11:53.160 --> 00:11:54.580
 And we're getting down.

00:11:54.580 --> 00:11:56.160
 I can see Mike in front of me,

00:11:56.240 --> 00:11:57.580
 and we come down the steps,

00:11:57.720 --> 00:11:58.700
 and we're about to round,

00:11:59.060 --> 00:12:00.800
 and I hear this lady's voice say,

00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:02.500
 slow down, stop.

00:12:02.900 --> 00:12:04.760
 Your plane is waiting on you.

00:12:06.680 --> 00:12:09.260
 And I feel chills right now as I say that.

00:12:10.460 --> 00:12:11.080
 Now understand,

00:12:11.460 --> 00:12:13.680
 I know that this impossibility

00:12:13.680 --> 00:12:17.440
 is no comparison to what maybe some of you

00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:19.040
 are facing right now in this room.

00:12:19.680 --> 00:12:22.440
 I know it has no comparison whatsoever

00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:25.220
 to what we're going to read together

00:12:25.220 --> 00:12:26.940
 in this passage of Scripture.

00:12:28.560 --> 00:12:30.660
 But I know for whatever reason

00:12:30.660 --> 00:12:32.140
 the Lord needed to show me

00:12:32.140 --> 00:12:33.540
 and maybe 19 others

00:12:33.540 --> 00:12:35.160
 something about Him.

00:12:36.100 --> 00:12:38.460
 It may have been just a simple reminder

00:12:38.460 --> 00:12:40.820
 that, David, I'm still God,

00:12:41.220 --> 00:12:43.900
 and I can do anything I need to do,

00:12:44.140 --> 00:12:46.260
 whether it's small or large.

00:12:47.400 --> 00:12:48.800
 And God did that.

00:12:50.400 --> 00:12:52.800
 When I thought I would still be in Dallas

00:12:52.800 --> 00:12:53.780
 and not at home

00:12:53.780 --> 00:12:55.260
 and my wife in my bed,

00:12:55.980 --> 00:12:59.160
 He still accomplished getting 16 of us,

00:12:59.380 --> 00:13:00.640
 17 of us,

00:13:00.660 --> 00:13:03.060
 three of us had already gotten an early flight,

00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:05.460
 17 of us on a plane

00:13:05.460 --> 00:13:07.740
 that we shouldn't have gotten on.

00:13:09.620 --> 00:13:11.940
 It was two weeks after that

00:13:11.940 --> 00:13:14.160
 that I continued just to reflect

00:13:14.160 --> 00:13:16.220
 on what God was doing

00:13:16.220 --> 00:13:18.740
 to not want to lose the lesson

00:13:18.740 --> 00:13:20.480
 that God was trying to teach me.

00:13:21.740 --> 00:13:23.280
 But, David, I'm still God,

00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:24.640
 and I can do whatever it is

00:13:24.640 --> 00:13:25.660
 that I need to do,

00:13:25.740 --> 00:13:27.100
 whether big or small.

00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:30.600
 And what you and I discovered this morning

00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:31.860
 in this passage of Scripture,

00:13:32.540 --> 00:13:33.600
 that God is God,

00:13:33.660 --> 00:13:36.500
 and God will do whatever He needs to do

00:13:36.500 --> 00:13:39.900
 in you, through you, for you.

00:13:39.900 --> 00:13:41.140
 It doesn't matter.

00:13:42.180 --> 00:13:44.880
 So whether you're facing an impossible task

00:13:44.880 --> 00:13:47.300
 or looking at an impossible situation

00:13:47.300 --> 00:13:50.600
 or maybe something that God

00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:51.740
 is telling you to do

00:13:51.740 --> 00:13:53.320
 and you look at it as impossible,

00:13:53.700 --> 00:13:55.700
 know this from the Word of God

00:13:55.700 --> 00:13:58.600
 that God can make it possible.

00:14:00.500 --> 00:14:02.460
 Look at verse 26 with me.

00:14:04.660 --> 00:14:06.760
 We know in the Old Testament

00:14:06.760 --> 00:14:08.160
 that it's prophesied

00:14:08.160 --> 00:14:10.920
 that God will be in our midst,

00:14:11.180 --> 00:14:12.580
 that He will be born.

00:14:14.220 --> 00:14:15.280
 And in verse 26,

00:14:15.380 --> 00:14:16.660
 we pick up and we read this

00:14:16.660 --> 00:14:17.740
 in the sixth month.

00:14:18.760 --> 00:14:20.300
 The reference here is that

00:14:20.300 --> 00:14:22.740
 Mary's cousin Elizabeth,

00:14:23.660 --> 00:14:25.240
 who was up in age

00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:26.560
 and who was barren,

00:14:27.780 --> 00:14:29.760
 the angel Gabriel came to her husband,

00:14:29.900 --> 00:14:30.940
 Zechariah, and said,

00:14:31.040 --> 00:14:33.200
 Zechariah, you and Elizabeth

00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:34.900
 are going to give birth to a son.

00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:38.340
 And your son's name will be John.

00:14:38.420 --> 00:14:39.300
 It's John the Baptist.

00:14:39.800 --> 00:14:41.460
 And John's going to pave the way.

00:14:42.900 --> 00:14:44.940
 So before we even get very far

00:14:44.940 --> 00:14:46.240
 into chapter 1 of Luke,

00:14:46.460 --> 00:14:47.860
 we already see that God

00:14:47.860 --> 00:14:49.000
 is starting to work out

00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:50.320
 an impossible task

00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:51.400
 to make it possible.

00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:55.420
 In the sixth month,

00:14:55.500 --> 00:14:56.740
 the angel Gabriel was sent

00:14:56.740 --> 00:14:58.880
 from God to a city of Galilee

00:14:58.880 --> 00:14:59.980
 named Nazareth.

00:15:00.860 --> 00:15:02.000
 And this is important.

00:15:02.120 --> 00:15:02.480
 Remember,

00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:04.880
 when there was word about Jesus,

00:15:05.040 --> 00:15:06.200
 somebody simply said,

00:15:06.340 --> 00:15:07.140
 there's nothing good

00:15:07.140 --> 00:15:08.440
 that comes from Nazareth.

00:15:10.160 --> 00:15:11.300
 Nazareth was a place

00:15:11.300 --> 00:15:12.800
 that was not highly looked at.

00:15:13.140 --> 00:15:14.280
 It was not a place

00:15:14.280 --> 00:15:15.400
 that was respected.

00:15:16.920 --> 00:15:17.220
 But yet,

00:15:17.340 --> 00:15:18.780
 Nazareth would be the place

00:15:18.780 --> 00:15:19.940
 that God would choose

00:15:19.940 --> 00:15:21.300
 a young teenage girl.

00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:23.700
 It goes on to say

00:15:23.700 --> 00:15:24.780
 in verse 27,

00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:27.180
 to a virgin betrothed

00:15:27.180 --> 00:15:28.320
 to a man whose name

00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:29.000
 was Joseph

00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:30.140
 of the house of David.

00:15:32.700 --> 00:15:34.820
 Now Luke uses the word virgin

00:15:34.820 --> 00:15:36.740
 three times in this passage.

00:15:36.980 --> 00:15:37.760
 Three times.

00:15:38.660 --> 00:15:40.560
 This is important for you and I

00:15:40.560 --> 00:15:41.940
 because it's foundational

00:15:41.940 --> 00:15:43.020
 to our faith.

00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:44.280
 It's foundational

00:15:44.280 --> 00:15:45.540
 to the doctrines

00:15:45.540 --> 00:15:46.620
 that you and I hold.

00:15:48.040 --> 00:15:50.300
 that Jesus is both human

00:15:50.300 --> 00:15:52.260
 and divine.

00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:54.420
 We can't miss that.

00:15:56.140 --> 00:15:57.560
 There are a lot of religions

00:15:57.560 --> 00:15:58.560
 out there that believe

00:15:58.560 --> 00:16:00.300
 that Jesus was just human.

00:16:00.660 --> 00:16:02.200
 That he was a good guy.

00:16:02.580 --> 00:16:03.400
 That he might have been

00:16:03.400 --> 00:16:04.000
 a prophet.

00:16:04.860 --> 00:16:06.260
 But they miss the fact

00:16:06.260 --> 00:16:07.840
 that Jesus was human

00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:08.780
 and divine.

00:16:09.100 --> 00:16:10.300
 As the scripture said

00:16:10.300 --> 00:16:11.700
 that we even read last week

00:16:11.700 --> 00:16:12.920
 when Bo shared with us

00:16:12.920 --> 00:16:14.400
 in the book of John,

00:16:14.460 --> 00:16:15.220
 the first chapter,

00:16:15.760 --> 00:16:17.200
 that God sent Jesus

00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:18.680
 to dwell among us.

00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:19.460
 It was God

00:16:19.460 --> 00:16:21.120
 to dwell among us.

00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:22.280
 We can't miss that.

00:16:23.040 --> 00:16:24.000
 That's foundational

00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:25.300
 to our beliefs.

00:16:25.420 --> 00:16:26.160
 That's foundational

00:16:26.160 --> 00:16:27.420
 to who we are

00:16:27.420 --> 00:16:28.120
 as Christians.

00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:30.020
 That God took

00:16:30.020 --> 00:16:31.500
 a young virgin girl

00:16:31.500 --> 00:16:34.100
 and placed Jesus

00:16:34.100 --> 00:16:34.820
 in her womb

00:16:34.820 --> 00:16:36.060
 that he would be born,

00:16:36.400 --> 00:16:37.100
 that he would walk

00:16:37.100 --> 00:16:38.100
 through the earth

00:16:38.100 --> 00:16:39.900
 and be in our midst.

00:16:43.940 --> 00:16:45.200
 To a virgin betrothed

00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:46.040
 to a man whose name

00:16:46.040 --> 00:16:46.580
 was Joseph

00:16:46.580 --> 00:16:47.600
 of the house of David

00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:49.320
 and the virgin's name

00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:50.040
 was Mary.

00:16:51.180 --> 00:16:52.380
 And he came to her

00:16:52.380 --> 00:16:52.800
 and said,

00:16:52.920 --> 00:16:53.320
 Greetings,

00:16:53.640 --> 00:16:54.640
 O favored one,

00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:56.580
 the Lord is with you.

00:16:58.680 --> 00:17:00.180
 But she was greatly troubled

00:17:00.180 --> 00:17:00.880
 at the saying

00:17:00.880 --> 00:17:02.000
 and tried to discern

00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:03.400
 what sort of greeting

00:17:03.400 --> 00:17:04.320
 this might be.

00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:05.600
 Can you imagine

00:17:05.600 --> 00:17:10.020
 being a young teenage girl

00:17:10.020 --> 00:17:13.980
 and the angel Gabriel

00:17:13.980 --> 00:17:13.980
 and the angel Gabriel

00:17:13.980 --> 00:17:14.880
 comes to you

00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:16.240
 with a greeting

00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:17.920
 and he's about

00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:18.880
 to lay on you

00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:20.420
 this impossible task?

00:17:21.540 --> 00:17:22.360
 What could you

00:17:22.360 --> 00:17:24.560
 possibly imagine

00:17:24.560 --> 00:17:25.760
 in that moment?

00:17:27.760 --> 00:17:28.460
 for you?

00:17:28.460 --> 00:17:29.140
 We see

00:17:29.140 --> 00:17:33.040
 how Mary responds.

00:17:33.120 --> 00:17:34.140
 Look at verse 29.

00:17:36.220 --> 00:17:37.760
 But she was greatly troubled

00:17:37.760 --> 00:17:38.480
 at the saying.

00:17:39.040 --> 00:17:39.320
 Yeah,

00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:41.420
 I would too, right?

00:17:41.820 --> 00:17:42.340
 Wouldn't you?

00:17:45.760 --> 00:17:47.160
 And tried to discern

00:17:47.160 --> 00:17:48.200
 what sort of greeting

00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:49.060
 this might be.

00:17:51.500 --> 00:17:52.540
 In verse 30,

00:17:52.620 --> 00:17:53.820
 And the angel said to her,

00:17:54.520 --> 00:17:55.460
 Do not be afraid.

00:17:55.920 --> 00:17:57.440
 Now that's comforting words.

00:17:58.880 --> 00:18:00.420
 An angel's in your midst.

00:18:01.720 --> 00:18:03.120
 He's speaking to you.

00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:05.260
 And he reassures you

00:18:05.260 --> 00:18:06.100
 not to be afraid.

00:18:07.820 --> 00:18:08.700
 There are moments,

00:18:08.820 --> 00:18:09.460
 several moments

00:18:09.460 --> 00:18:10.140
 in your life,

00:18:10.220 --> 00:18:10.760
 several moments

00:18:10.760 --> 00:18:11.380
 in my life,

00:18:11.420 --> 00:18:12.400
 there will be several moments

00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:12.980
 in our lives

00:18:12.980 --> 00:18:14.560
 where we need to remember

00:18:14.560 --> 00:18:15.580
 the words of Scripture

00:18:15.580 --> 00:18:17.300
 and especially in this case,

00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:18.840
 Do not be afraid.

00:18:21.740 --> 00:18:22.980
 And the angel goes on

00:18:22.980 --> 00:18:23.500
 to say,

00:18:24.380 --> 00:18:25.060
 For you have found

00:18:25.060 --> 00:18:26.340
 favor with God.

00:18:27.340 --> 00:18:27.820
 Twice,

00:18:28.140 --> 00:18:29.720
 Gabriel reminds Mary

00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:31.280
 that God has found

00:18:31.280 --> 00:18:32.660
 favor on her.

00:18:34.280 --> 00:18:35.580
 In some translation,

00:18:35.760 --> 00:18:36.800
 it says that God

00:18:36.800 --> 00:18:38.700
 extends His grace

00:18:38.700 --> 00:18:40.320
 to Mary.

00:18:41.040 --> 00:18:42.000
 The definition

00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:43.140
 of the favor of God.

00:18:44.520 --> 00:18:45.200
 And he goes on,

00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:45.740
 And behold,

00:18:47.080 --> 00:18:48.100
 you will conceive

00:18:48.100 --> 00:18:48.720
 in your womb

00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:49.620
 and bear a son

00:18:49.620 --> 00:18:50.460
 and you shall call

00:18:50.460 --> 00:18:51.160
 His name

00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:52.480
 Jesus.

00:18:53.780 --> 00:18:55.400
 So now we get to see

00:18:55.400 --> 00:18:56.340
 in the very midst

00:18:56.340 --> 00:18:57.720
 of these few verses

00:18:57.720 --> 00:18:59.200
 who Jesus

00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:00.240
 is going to be.

00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:01.420
 Gabriel is sharing

00:19:01.420 --> 00:19:02.040
 with Mary

00:19:02.040 --> 00:19:03.860
 who she is about

00:19:03.860 --> 00:19:04.540
 to conceive.

00:19:06.060 --> 00:19:06.980
 You and I know

00:19:06.980 --> 00:19:08.000
 the story of Jesus.

00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:08.880
 You and I know

00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:09.640
 about His birth.

00:19:10.020 --> 00:19:10.780
 You and I know

00:19:10.780 --> 00:19:12.080
 about His 30 years

00:19:12.080 --> 00:19:12.620
 of ministry.

00:19:13.080 --> 00:19:14.080
 We know that.

00:19:14.420 --> 00:19:15.420
 Mary doesn't have

00:19:15.420 --> 00:19:16.360
 any of this knowledge.

00:19:17.560 --> 00:19:18.500
 And the angel

00:19:18.500 --> 00:19:19.040
 of Gabriel

00:19:19.040 --> 00:19:19.760
 is telling her

00:19:19.760 --> 00:19:20.800
 who Jesus will be.

00:19:21.800 --> 00:19:22.300
 Verse 32,

00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:23.240
 He will be great

00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:24.300
 and will be called

00:19:24.300 --> 00:19:25.700
 the Son of the Most High.

00:19:26.340 --> 00:19:27.180
 And the Lord God

00:19:27.180 --> 00:19:27.980
 will give to Him

00:19:27.980 --> 00:19:29.580
 the throne of His father David.

00:19:29.940 --> 00:19:30.900
 And He will reign

00:19:30.900 --> 00:19:31.520
 over the house

00:19:31.520 --> 00:19:32.420
 of Jacob forever.

00:19:32.740 --> 00:19:33.620
 And His kingdom

00:19:33.620 --> 00:19:34.380
 there will be

00:19:34.380 --> 00:19:35.180
 no end.

00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:37.360
 Now think about

00:19:37.360 --> 00:19:38.420
 receiving all that

00:19:38.420 --> 00:19:40.720
 as a young teenage girl.

00:19:42.180 --> 00:19:43.140
 that the Son

00:19:43.140 --> 00:19:44.120
 that you will conceive

00:19:44.120 --> 00:19:45.680
 is the Son of God.

00:19:47.080 --> 00:19:48.200
 And that He's going

00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:48.840
 to accomplish

00:19:48.840 --> 00:19:50.480
 all these things.

00:19:51.820 --> 00:19:52.160
 Man,

00:19:52.340 --> 00:19:53.180
 I just have

00:19:53.180 --> 00:19:53.960
 a hard enough time

00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:54.460
 as it is

00:19:54.460 --> 00:19:55.020
 the responsibility

00:19:55.020 --> 00:19:55.800
 of trying to raise

00:19:55.800 --> 00:19:56.420
 two boys.

00:19:58.120 --> 00:19:58.980
 I'm honest.

00:19:59.540 --> 00:19:59.760
 I mean,

00:19:59.780 --> 00:20:00.440
 it is tough.

00:20:01.780 --> 00:20:02.640
 But to think

00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:03.460
 that you are given

00:20:03.460 --> 00:20:04.140
 the task

00:20:04.140 --> 00:20:04.660
 of bringing

00:20:04.660 --> 00:20:05.700
 the Son of God

00:20:05.700 --> 00:20:07.340
 into the world.

00:20:08.860 --> 00:20:09.820
 And Mary said

00:20:09.820 --> 00:20:10.480
 to the angel,

00:20:10.840 --> 00:20:12.280
 How will this be

00:20:12.280 --> 00:20:13.980
 since I am a virgin?

00:20:15.020 --> 00:20:15.860
 Mary understood.

00:20:17.140 --> 00:20:17.820
 Mary understood

00:20:17.820 --> 00:20:19.280
 how it all works.

00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:21.200
 And she had

00:20:21.200 --> 00:20:21.800
 an honest

00:20:21.800 --> 00:20:22.980
 and simple question.

00:20:23.660 --> 00:20:24.680
 How is that

00:20:24.680 --> 00:20:25.420
 going to happen?

00:20:26.940 --> 00:20:27.900
 And the angel

00:20:27.900 --> 00:20:28.620
 answered her,

00:20:29.580 --> 00:20:30.620
 The Holy Spirit

00:20:30.620 --> 00:20:32.160
 will come upon you.

00:20:32.600 --> 00:20:33.480
 And the power

00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:34.620
 of the Most High

00:20:34.620 --> 00:20:36.340
 will overshadow you.

00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:37.460
 Therefore,

00:20:37.600 --> 00:20:38.140
 the child

00:20:38.140 --> 00:20:38.860
 to be born

00:20:38.860 --> 00:20:39.580
 will be called

00:20:39.580 --> 00:20:40.040
 Holy,

00:20:40.180 --> 00:20:42.160
 the Son of God.

00:20:44.940 --> 00:20:45.720
 And listen

00:20:45.720 --> 00:20:46.400
 what the angel

00:20:46.400 --> 00:20:47.240
 Gabriel does

00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:48.540
 in his next words.

00:20:51.080 --> 00:20:52.020
 And behold,

00:20:52.140 --> 00:20:52.600
 your relative

00:20:52.600 --> 00:20:53.200
 Elizabeth

00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:55.400
 in her old age

00:20:55.400 --> 00:20:55.960
 has also

00:20:55.960 --> 00:20:56.960
 conceived a son.

00:20:57.740 --> 00:20:58.420
 And this is

00:20:58.420 --> 00:20:59.580
 the sixth month

00:20:59.580 --> 00:21:00.380
 with her

00:21:00.380 --> 00:21:01.280
 who is called

00:21:01.280 --> 00:21:01.700
 barren.

00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:03.600
 Remember,

00:21:04.180 --> 00:21:05.020
 Gabriel delivered

00:21:05.020 --> 00:21:05.960
 that message

00:21:05.960 --> 00:21:08.680
 to Zachariah

00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:09.560
 and Elizabeth.

00:21:10.680 --> 00:21:11.200
 And now,

00:21:11.280 --> 00:21:11.980
 Gabriel has taken

00:21:11.980 --> 00:21:12.680
 the opportunity

00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:14.560
 to encourage

00:21:14.560 --> 00:21:15.420
 Mary

00:21:15.420 --> 00:21:17.180
 with the task

00:21:17.180 --> 00:21:17.800
 that God

00:21:17.800 --> 00:21:18.780
 has presented her.

00:21:19.580 --> 00:21:21.000
 To let Mary know

00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:21.560
 that Mary,

00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:22.760
 it's going to be okay.

00:21:23.800 --> 00:21:24.120
 Mary,

00:21:24.180 --> 00:21:24.660
 it's going to be

00:21:24.660 --> 00:21:25.260
 all right

00:21:25.260 --> 00:21:27.340
 because your cousin

00:21:27.340 --> 00:21:28.840
 is going

00:21:28.840 --> 00:21:30.240
 through a very

00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:31.340
 similar thing

00:21:31.340 --> 00:21:32.980
 that she

00:21:32.980 --> 00:21:33.500
 couldn't bear

00:21:33.500 --> 00:21:33.880
 a child

00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:34.320
 but now

00:21:34.320 --> 00:21:35.080
 she is.

00:21:36.280 --> 00:21:36.740
 And Mary,

00:21:36.840 --> 00:21:37.140
 you're going to

00:21:37.140 --> 00:21:38.100
 walk with her

00:21:38.100 --> 00:21:38.780
 through this

00:21:38.780 --> 00:21:40.320
 as you walk

00:21:40.320 --> 00:21:40.960
 through your

00:21:40.960 --> 00:21:41.560
 pregnancy.

00:21:42.980 --> 00:21:43.700
 a way

00:21:43.700 --> 00:21:44.460
 of Gabriel,

00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:46.300
 the messenger

00:21:46.300 --> 00:21:46.900
 of God

00:21:46.900 --> 00:21:49.140
 letting Mary

00:21:49.140 --> 00:21:49.680
 know it's

00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:50.060
 going to be

00:21:50.060 --> 00:21:50.480
 okay.

00:21:51.080 --> 00:21:51.460
 It's going

00:21:51.460 --> 00:21:51.660
 to be

00:21:51.660 --> 00:21:52.200
 encouragement.

00:21:53.560 --> 00:21:53.940
 But then

00:21:53.940 --> 00:21:54.460
 he hits her

00:21:54.460 --> 00:21:54.880
 with one

00:21:54.880 --> 00:21:55.340
 of the biggest

00:21:55.340 --> 00:21:55.820
 statements

00:21:55.820 --> 00:21:56.220
 of all

00:21:56.220 --> 00:21:56.440
 that we

00:21:56.440 --> 00:21:57.080
 read earlier.

00:21:58.820 --> 00:21:59.000
 Mary,

00:21:59.120 --> 00:21:59.620
 for nothing

00:21:59.620 --> 00:22:00.040
 will be

00:22:00.040 --> 00:22:00.580
 impossible

00:22:00.580 --> 00:22:01.600
 with God.

00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:03.480
 Nothing

00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:03.900
 will be

00:22:03.900 --> 00:22:04.400
 impossible

00:22:04.400 --> 00:22:05.000
 with God,

00:22:05.100 --> 00:22:05.320
 Mary.

00:22:06.580 --> 00:22:07.040
 It may

00:22:07.040 --> 00:22:08.060
 look impossible.

00:22:09.260 --> 00:22:09.740
 Elizabeth

00:22:09.740 --> 00:22:10.660
 and Zachariah

00:22:10.660 --> 00:22:11.260
 may think

00:22:11.260 --> 00:22:12.060
 it's impossible.

00:22:12.980 --> 00:22:13.640
 But the

00:22:13.640 --> 00:22:14.080
 fact that

00:22:14.080 --> 00:22:14.800
 God is

00:22:14.800 --> 00:22:15.340
 involved,

00:22:15.540 --> 00:22:15.760
 Mary,

00:22:16.340 --> 00:22:17.140
 it's possible.

00:22:17.620 --> 00:22:18.200
 It will

00:22:18.200 --> 00:22:18.600
 happen.

00:22:19.980 --> 00:22:20.260
 And I

00:22:20.260 --> 00:22:20.680
 love,

00:22:20.780 --> 00:22:21.260
 this is one

00:22:21.260 --> 00:22:21.540
 of the

00:22:21.540 --> 00:22:23.260
 verses of

00:22:23.260 --> 00:22:23.520
 Scripture

00:22:23.520 --> 00:22:23.960
 when I

00:22:23.960 --> 00:22:24.440
 read this

00:22:24.440 --> 00:22:25.040
 story of

00:22:25.040 --> 00:22:26.060
 Mary and

00:22:26.060 --> 00:22:26.360
 Gabriel.

00:22:26.500 --> 00:22:26.800
 This is

00:22:26.800 --> 00:22:27.120
 one of the

00:22:27.120 --> 00:22:27.500
 ones I

00:22:27.500 --> 00:22:28.040
 just hold

00:22:28.040 --> 00:22:28.580
 on to.

00:22:29.100 --> 00:22:29.940
 The response

00:22:29.940 --> 00:22:30.380
 that Mary

00:22:30.380 --> 00:22:30.780
 gives,

00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:31.180
 and Mary

00:22:31.180 --> 00:22:31.620
 said,

00:22:32.280 --> 00:22:32.800
 Behold,

00:22:33.460 --> 00:22:33.980
 I am

00:22:33.980 --> 00:22:34.480
 the servant

00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:34.860
 of the

00:22:34.860 --> 00:22:35.140
 Lord.

00:22:36.020 --> 00:22:36.620
 Let it

00:22:36.620 --> 00:22:36.960
 be to

00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:37.360
 me

00:22:37.360 --> 00:22:38.520
 according

00:22:38.520 --> 00:22:38.920
 to your

00:22:38.920 --> 00:22:39.280
 word.

00:22:40.680 --> 00:22:41.340
 And the

00:22:41.340 --> 00:22:41.640
 angel

00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:42.160
 departed

00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:42.920
 from

00:22:42.920 --> 00:22:43.200
 her.

00:22:44.740 --> 00:22:45.260
 That's

00:22:45.260 --> 00:22:45.660
 Mary's

00:22:45.660 --> 00:22:46.140
 impossible

00:22:46.140 --> 00:22:46.660
 task.

00:22:47.860 --> 00:22:48.400
 To

00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:48.780
 conceive

00:22:48.780 --> 00:22:49.000
 the

00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:49.400
 child

00:22:49.400 --> 00:22:49.920
 Jesus

00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:50.360
 and to

00:22:50.360 --> 00:22:50.740
 bring him

00:22:50.740 --> 00:22:51.140
 into the

00:22:51.140 --> 00:22:51.580
 world.

00:22:53.080 --> 00:22:53.600
 Knowing

00:22:53.600 --> 00:22:54.740
 that she

00:22:54.740 --> 00:22:55.260
 and Joseph

00:22:55.260 --> 00:22:55.840
 have never

00:22:55.840 --> 00:22:56.520
 been together,

00:22:56.700 --> 00:22:57.120
 knowing that

00:22:57.120 --> 00:22:57.460
 it's an

00:22:57.460 --> 00:22:58.500
 impossibility,

00:22:59.140 --> 00:22:59.580
 but yet the

00:22:59.580 --> 00:23:00.280
 angel Gabriel

00:23:00.280 --> 00:23:00.720
 says,

00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:01.460
 Mary is

00:23:01.460 --> 00:23:01.980
 possible.

00:23:02.540 --> 00:23:03.260
 Because God's

00:23:03.260 --> 00:23:03.900
 with you.

00:23:04.100 --> 00:23:04.800
 God's behind

00:23:04.800 --> 00:23:04.960
 it.

00:23:05.280 --> 00:23:05.740
 God's going

00:23:05.740 --> 00:23:06.180
 to make it

00:23:06.180 --> 00:23:06.500
 happen,

00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:06.800
 Mary.

00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:09.320
 So when

00:23:09.320 --> 00:23:09.760
 you think

00:23:09.760 --> 00:23:11.440
 about the

00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:12.240
 task or

00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:13.720
 situation or

00:23:13.720 --> 00:23:14.180
 the thing

00:23:14.180 --> 00:23:14.660
 that God

00:23:14.660 --> 00:23:15.060
 has laid

00:23:15.060 --> 00:23:15.420
 at your

00:23:15.420 --> 00:23:15.940
 feet that

00:23:15.940 --> 00:23:16.280
 seems

00:23:16.280 --> 00:23:16.940
 impossible,

00:23:18.740 --> 00:23:19.300
 remember

00:23:19.300 --> 00:23:20.760
 what God

00:23:20.760 --> 00:23:21.480
 is doing

00:23:21.480 --> 00:23:22.980
 with and

00:23:22.980 --> 00:23:23.620
 through and

00:23:23.620 --> 00:23:24.240
 for Mary.

00:23:25.580 --> 00:23:26.240
 You see,

00:23:26.320 --> 00:23:26.860
 Mary was an

00:23:26.860 --> 00:23:27.660
 ordinary person.

00:23:29.320 --> 00:23:29.960
 Mary's like you

00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:30.220
 and I.

00:23:30.280 --> 00:23:30.680
 There's nothing

00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:31.700
 special about

00:23:31.700 --> 00:23:32.120
 Mary.

00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:33.860
 She doesn't

00:23:33.860 --> 00:23:34.440
 come from a

00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:35.260
 long lineage of

00:23:35.260 --> 00:23:35.700
 anything.

00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:37.500
 She's just a

00:23:37.500 --> 00:23:38.280
 teenage girl

00:23:38.280 --> 00:23:39.360
 born in the

00:23:39.360 --> 00:23:40.160
 village of

00:23:40.160 --> 00:23:40.820
 Nazareth.

00:23:42.480 --> 00:23:43.180
 Yet God

00:23:43.180 --> 00:23:44.140
 chooses her

00:23:44.140 --> 00:23:45.800
 to be the

00:23:45.800 --> 00:23:47.540
 one who

00:23:47.540 --> 00:23:48.300
 bears his

00:23:48.300 --> 00:23:49.060
 son Jesus.

00:23:51.480 --> 00:23:52.120
 You see,

00:23:52.220 --> 00:23:52.700
 when I think

00:23:52.700 --> 00:23:53.140
 about the

00:23:53.140 --> 00:23:54.000
 situations that

00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:54.820
 I face,

00:23:55.840 --> 00:23:56.540
 I'm just an

00:23:56.540 --> 00:23:57.420
 ordinary guy.

00:23:57.980 --> 00:23:58.680
 There's nothing

00:23:58.680 --> 00:23:59.780
 special about

00:23:59.780 --> 00:24:00.120
 me.

00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:01.300
 There's no

00:24:01.300 --> 00:24:02.120
 reason other

00:24:02.120 --> 00:24:02.660
 than the fact

00:24:02.660 --> 00:24:03.100
 that God

00:24:03.100 --> 00:24:03.760
 loves me that

00:24:03.760 --> 00:24:04.060
 he would

00:24:04.060 --> 00:24:04.900
 intervene in

00:24:04.900 --> 00:24:05.540
 any matter

00:24:05.540 --> 00:24:06.300
 whatsoever

00:24:06.300 --> 00:24:07.360
 except for the

00:24:07.360 --> 00:24:08.220
 fact he loves

00:24:08.220 --> 00:24:09.020
 me because I

00:24:09.020 --> 00:24:09.700
 am a child

00:24:09.700 --> 00:24:10.400
 of his.

00:24:12.840 --> 00:24:13.740
 It's comforting

00:24:13.740 --> 00:24:14.520
 to know that

00:24:14.520 --> 00:24:15.140
 Mary was just

00:24:15.140 --> 00:24:15.660
 an ordinary

00:24:15.660 --> 00:24:16.260
 person.

00:24:17.920 --> 00:24:18.820
 There wasn't

00:24:18.820 --> 00:24:19.480
 any special

00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:21.080
 reason that

00:24:21.080 --> 00:24:21.780
 God chose

00:24:21.780 --> 00:24:23.040
 her other

00:24:23.040 --> 00:24:23.380
 than the

00:24:23.380 --> 00:24:23.940
 fact that

00:24:23.940 --> 00:24:25.520
 he chose

00:24:25.520 --> 00:24:26.600
 her to

00:24:26.600 --> 00:24:26.940
 be the

00:24:26.940 --> 00:24:28.480
 one to

00:24:28.480 --> 00:24:29.400
 bear Jesus.

00:24:30.560 --> 00:24:31.280
 That's the

00:24:31.280 --> 00:24:31.760
 difference.

00:24:33.340 --> 00:24:33.920
 You and I

00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:34.680
 may not be,

00:24:35.100 --> 00:24:35.780
 we look at

00:24:35.780 --> 00:24:36.320
 Mary and we

00:24:36.320 --> 00:24:36.620
 look at a

00:24:36.620 --> 00:24:36.880
 bunch of

00:24:36.880 --> 00:24:37.200
 resumes,

00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:37.780
 she may

00:24:37.780 --> 00:24:38.100
 not be

00:24:38.100 --> 00:24:38.500
 the one

00:24:38.500 --> 00:24:38.760
 that we

00:24:38.760 --> 00:24:38.920
 would

00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:39.200
 chose,

00:24:39.300 --> 00:24:39.520
 but it

00:24:39.520 --> 00:24:40.380
 does not

00:24:40.380 --> 00:24:40.920
 matter.

00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:43.520
 If you

00:24:43.520 --> 00:24:44.480
 remember when

00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:45.160
 David was

00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:47.820
 chosen by

00:24:47.820 --> 00:24:48.400
 God,

00:24:48.580 --> 00:24:49.720
 everybody else

00:24:49.720 --> 00:24:50.140
 thought it

00:24:50.140 --> 00:24:50.680
 was all his

00:24:50.680 --> 00:24:51.320
 brothers that

00:24:51.320 --> 00:24:51.720
 should be

00:24:51.720 --> 00:24:52.540
 chosen by

00:24:52.540 --> 00:24:52.980
 God.

00:24:54.820 --> 00:24:55.140
 And God

00:24:55.140 --> 00:24:55.300
 said,

00:24:55.400 --> 00:24:55.920
 I don't look

00:24:55.920 --> 00:24:56.300
 at those

00:24:56.300 --> 00:24:56.800
 appearances.

00:24:57.860 --> 00:24:58.680
 I look at

00:24:58.680 --> 00:24:59.140
 the heart.

00:25:01.660 --> 00:25:02.140
 See,

00:25:02.220 --> 00:25:02.600
 with God,

00:25:02.700 --> 00:25:03.220
 his standard

00:25:03.220 --> 00:25:03.860
 is not our

00:25:03.860 --> 00:25:04.240
 standard.

00:25:04.360 --> 00:25:04.960
 His selection

00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:05.980
 process is not

00:25:05.980 --> 00:25:06.560
 our selection

00:25:06.560 --> 00:25:07.020
 process.

00:25:07.020 --> 00:25:08.100
 who God

00:25:08.100 --> 00:25:08.680
 chooses,

00:25:09.120 --> 00:25:09.600
 he will

00:25:09.600 --> 00:25:10.120
 choose.

00:25:11.700 --> 00:25:12.360
 But God

00:25:12.360 --> 00:25:13.040
 found favor

00:25:13.040 --> 00:25:13.560
 with Mary.

00:25:13.660 --> 00:25:13.940
 Remember

00:25:13.940 --> 00:25:14.720
 verse 28,

00:25:14.800 --> 00:25:15.420
 O favored

00:25:15.420 --> 00:25:15.760
 one,

00:25:15.840 --> 00:25:16.140
 the Lord

00:25:16.140 --> 00:25:16.540
 is with

00:25:16.540 --> 00:25:16.740
 you.

00:25:17.020 --> 00:25:17.680
 Verse 30,

00:25:18.020 --> 00:25:18.300
 you have

00:25:18.300 --> 00:25:19.160
 found favor

00:25:19.160 --> 00:25:20.440
 with God.

00:25:21.900 --> 00:25:22.400
 But the

00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:22.900
 second thing

00:25:22.900 --> 00:25:23.180
 that I

00:25:23.180 --> 00:25:23.800
 notice about

00:25:23.800 --> 00:25:24.460
 this passage

00:25:24.460 --> 00:25:25.020
 is this,

00:25:25.500 --> 00:25:26.000
 God's

00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:26.600
 presence

00:25:26.600 --> 00:25:27.780
 surrounded

00:25:27.780 --> 00:25:28.500
 Mary.

00:25:29.220 --> 00:25:29.900
 This is

00:25:29.900 --> 00:25:30.240
 what we

00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:30.820
 can't forget.

00:25:31.640 --> 00:25:32.080
 This is

00:25:32.080 --> 00:25:32.660
 what you

00:25:32.660 --> 00:25:32.940
 and I

00:25:32.940 --> 00:25:33.360
 have got

00:25:33.360 --> 00:25:33.800
 to see,

00:25:34.120 --> 00:25:34.600
 especially

00:25:34.600 --> 00:25:34.980
 if you're

00:25:34.980 --> 00:25:35.440
 facing

00:25:35.440 --> 00:25:35.660
 that

00:25:35.660 --> 00:25:36.220
 impossible

00:25:36.220 --> 00:25:36.660
 past

00:25:36.660 --> 00:25:37.280
 situation

00:25:37.280 --> 00:25:38.000
 or whatever

00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:38.340
 it is

00:25:38.340 --> 00:25:38.740
 that God

00:25:38.740 --> 00:25:39.240
 has placed

00:25:39.240 --> 00:25:39.620
 in front

00:25:39.620 --> 00:25:39.880
 of you.

00:25:40.140 --> 00:25:40.360
 We

00:25:40.360 --> 00:25:40.720
 can't

00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:40.880
 miss

00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:41.060
 the

00:25:41.060 --> 00:25:41.360
 fact

00:25:41.360 --> 00:25:41.520
 of

00:25:41.520 --> 00:25:41.840
 God's

00:25:41.840 --> 00:25:42.300
 presence

00:25:42.300 --> 00:25:43.080
 surrounding

00:25:43.080 --> 00:25:43.920
 Mary.

00:25:46.260 --> 00:25:47.180
 Verse 28,

00:25:47.340 --> 00:25:47.680
 we see

00:25:47.680 --> 00:25:48.140
 that God

00:25:48.140 --> 00:25:48.600
 was with

00:25:48.600 --> 00:25:48.740
 her.

00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:49.800
 God

00:25:49.800 --> 00:25:50.280
 was with

00:25:50.280 --> 00:25:50.440
 her.

00:25:51.280 --> 00:25:51.480
 And he

00:25:51.480 --> 00:25:51.880
 came to

00:25:51.880 --> 00:25:52.180
 her and

00:25:52.180 --> 00:25:52.360
 said,

00:25:52.460 --> 00:25:52.780
 greetings,

00:25:52.900 --> 00:25:53.300
 favored

00:25:53.300 --> 00:25:53.680
 one,

00:25:54.140 --> 00:25:54.280
 the

00:25:54.280 --> 00:25:54.800
 Lord

00:25:54.800 --> 00:25:55.340
 is

00:25:55.340 --> 00:25:55.780
 with

00:25:55.780 --> 00:25:56.160
 you.

00:25:57.160 --> 00:25:57.500
 He

00:25:57.500 --> 00:25:57.680
 didn't

00:25:57.680 --> 00:25:58.080
 say the

00:25:58.080 --> 00:25:58.420
 Lord's

00:25:58.420 --> 00:25:58.840
 off at

00:25:58.840 --> 00:25:59.320
 a distance

00:25:59.320 --> 00:25:59.640
 and if

00:25:59.640 --> 00:25:59.980
 you need

00:25:59.980 --> 00:26:00.120
 him,

00:26:00.360 --> 00:26:00.680
 try to

00:26:00.680 --> 00:26:00.880
 reach

00:26:00.880 --> 00:26:01.260
 out to

00:26:01.260 --> 00:26:01.420
 him.

00:26:01.620 --> 00:26:01.880
 No,

00:26:01.960 --> 00:26:02.040
 he

00:26:02.040 --> 00:26:02.240
 didn't

00:26:02.240 --> 00:26:02.500
 say

00:26:02.500 --> 00:26:02.720
 that.

00:26:02.780 --> 00:26:02.840
 He

00:26:02.840 --> 00:26:03.180
 said the

00:26:03.180 --> 00:26:03.500
 Lord

00:26:03.500 --> 00:26:03.920
 is

00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:04.320
 with

00:26:04.320 --> 00:26:04.700
 you,

00:26:05.160 --> 00:26:05.420
 Mary.

00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:06.640
 And

00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:06.880
 then in

00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:07.580
 verse 35,

00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:08.180
 we see

00:26:08.180 --> 00:26:08.860
 these words

00:26:08.860 --> 00:26:10.520
 that Gabriel

00:26:10.520 --> 00:26:11.120
 says that

00:26:11.120 --> 00:26:11.460
 the Holy

00:26:11.460 --> 00:26:12.640
 Spirit and

00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:13.140
 the power

00:26:13.140 --> 00:26:13.840
 of God

00:26:13.840 --> 00:26:14.760
 will be

00:26:14.760 --> 00:26:15.060
 with

00:26:15.060 --> 00:26:15.320
 her.

00:26:16.920 --> 00:26:17.300
 And

00:26:17.300 --> 00:26:17.600
 the angel

00:26:17.600 --> 00:26:17.960
 answered

00:26:17.960 --> 00:26:18.140
 her,

00:26:18.220 --> 00:26:18.520
 the Holy

00:26:18.520 --> 00:26:19.040
 Spirit will

00:26:19.040 --> 00:26:19.620
 come upon

00:26:19.620 --> 00:26:20.720
 you and

00:26:20.720 --> 00:26:21.240
 the power

00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:21.560
 of the

00:26:21.560 --> 00:26:22.260
 Most High

00:26:22.260 --> 00:26:22.880
 will

00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:23.720
 overshadow

00:26:23.720 --> 00:26:24.020
 you.

00:26:24.560 --> 00:26:24.820
 Mary,

00:26:24.960 --> 00:26:25.340
 God's

00:26:25.340 --> 00:26:25.760
 presence

00:26:25.760 --> 00:26:26.640
 will be

00:26:26.640 --> 00:26:27.000
 with

00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:27.300
 you.

00:26:29.120 --> 00:26:29.640
 Whatever

00:26:29.640 --> 00:26:30.100
 it is

00:26:30.100 --> 00:26:30.280
 you're

00:26:30.280 --> 00:26:30.600
 dealing

00:26:30.600 --> 00:26:30.860
 with,

00:26:30.940 --> 00:26:31.140
 whatever

00:26:31.140 --> 00:26:31.480
 it is

00:26:31.480 --> 00:26:31.640
 you're

00:26:31.640 --> 00:26:32.080
 facing,

00:26:32.640 --> 00:26:33.640
 you have

00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:34.300
 to know

00:26:34.300 --> 00:26:35.700
 because of

00:26:35.700 --> 00:26:36.240
 what God's

00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:37.140
 word says

00:26:37.140 --> 00:26:37.940
 that his

00:26:37.940 --> 00:26:38.680
 presence is

00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:39.200
 with you.

00:26:39.480 --> 00:26:39.940
 You are

00:26:39.940 --> 00:26:40.740
 not alone

00:26:40.740 --> 00:26:41.260
 in whatever

00:26:41.260 --> 00:26:41.620
 it is

00:26:41.620 --> 00:26:41.880
 that you

00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:42.360
 face,

00:26:42.480 --> 00:26:42.720
 whatever

00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:42.940
 the

00:26:42.940 --> 00:26:43.620
 impossibility

00:26:43.620 --> 00:26:43.940
 is,

00:26:44.300 --> 00:26:44.880
 you are

00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:45.300
 not

00:26:45.300 --> 00:26:46.080
 alone.

00:26:47.860 --> 00:26:48.300
 What

00:26:48.300 --> 00:26:48.780
 God is

00:26:48.780 --> 00:26:49.280
 saying to

00:26:49.280 --> 00:26:49.500
 Mary,

00:26:49.580 --> 00:26:49.920
 what God

00:26:49.920 --> 00:26:50.300
 is doing

00:26:50.300 --> 00:26:50.780
 with Mary,

00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:51.580
 God

00:26:51.580 --> 00:26:51.780
 will

00:26:51.780 --> 00:26:52.160
 also

00:26:52.160 --> 00:26:52.520
 do

00:26:52.520 --> 00:26:52.860
 with

00:26:52.860 --> 00:26:53.220
 you

00:26:53.220 --> 00:26:53.620
 and

00:26:53.620 --> 00:26:53.720
 he

00:26:53.720 --> 00:26:53.860
 will

00:26:53.860 --> 00:26:54.160
 do

00:26:54.160 --> 00:26:54.600
 with

00:26:54.600 --> 00:26:54.920
 me.

00:26:56.800 --> 00:26:57.160
 And of

00:26:57.160 --> 00:26:57.380
 course,

00:26:57.500 --> 00:26:57.780
 the next

00:26:57.780 --> 00:26:58.140
 thing we

00:26:58.140 --> 00:26:58.480
 see is

00:26:58.480 --> 00:26:58.800
 God

00:26:58.800 --> 00:26:59.100
 used

00:26:59.100 --> 00:26:59.420
 Mary

00:26:59.420 --> 00:26:59.660
 to

00:26:59.660 --> 00:27:00.120
 accomplish

00:27:00.120 --> 00:27:00.520
 the

00:27:00.520 --> 00:27:01.000
 impossible.

00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:02.880
 That's

00:27:02.880 --> 00:27:03.260
 definitely

00:27:03.260 --> 00:27:03.980
 a definition

00:27:03.980 --> 00:27:04.200
 of

00:27:04.200 --> 00:27:04.660
 impossible.

00:27:05.460 --> 00:27:05.740
 A

00:27:05.740 --> 00:27:06.080
 young

00:27:06.080 --> 00:27:06.640
 teenage

00:27:06.640 --> 00:27:07.060
 virgin

00:27:07.060 --> 00:27:07.520
 to give

00:27:07.520 --> 00:27:08.000
 birth,

00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:08.760
 but to

00:27:08.760 --> 00:27:09.340
 give birth

00:27:09.340 --> 00:27:09.740
 to the

00:27:09.740 --> 00:27:10.240
 Messiah.

00:27:10.700 --> 00:27:11.180
 That's

00:27:11.180 --> 00:27:11.760
 definition

00:27:11.760 --> 00:27:12.220
 of

00:27:12.220 --> 00:27:12.720
 impossible.

00:27:13.940 --> 00:27:14.500
 But

00:27:14.500 --> 00:27:14.860
 God

00:27:14.860 --> 00:27:15.540
 accomplished

00:27:15.540 --> 00:27:16.100
 the

00:27:16.100 --> 00:27:16.620
 impossible

00:27:16.620 --> 00:27:17.120
 with

00:27:17.120 --> 00:27:17.540
 Mary.

00:27:19.120 --> 00:27:19.780
 And the

00:27:19.780 --> 00:27:20.000
 angel

00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:20.340
 answered

00:27:20.340 --> 00:27:20.520
 her,

00:27:20.600 --> 00:27:20.680
 the

00:27:20.680 --> 00:27:20.880
 Holy

00:27:20.880 --> 00:27:21.120
 Spirit

00:27:21.120 --> 00:27:21.300
 will

00:27:21.300 --> 00:27:21.460
 come

00:27:21.460 --> 00:27:21.800
 upon

00:27:21.800 --> 00:27:21.940
 you

00:27:21.940 --> 00:27:22.020
 and

00:27:22.020 --> 00:27:22.120
 the

00:27:22.120 --> 00:27:22.360
 power

00:27:22.360 --> 00:27:22.500
 of the

00:27:22.500 --> 00:27:22.700
 Most

00:27:22.700 --> 00:27:22.900
 High

00:27:22.900 --> 00:27:23.080
 will

00:27:23.080 --> 00:27:23.600
 overshadow

00:27:23.600 --> 00:27:23.840
 you.

00:27:24.300 --> 00:27:24.540
 Therefore,

00:27:24.680 --> 00:27:25.060
 the child

00:27:25.060 --> 00:27:25.280
 to be

00:27:25.280 --> 00:27:25.520
 born

00:27:25.520 --> 00:27:26.060
 will be

00:27:26.060 --> 00:27:26.400
 called

00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:26.800
 holy,

00:27:26.900 --> 00:27:27.020
 the

00:27:27.020 --> 00:27:27.240
 Son

00:27:27.240 --> 00:27:27.380
 of

00:27:27.380 --> 00:27:27.720
 God.

00:27:28.120 --> 00:27:28.320
 And

00:27:28.320 --> 00:27:28.720
 behold,

00:27:28.820 --> 00:27:28.940
 your

00:27:28.940 --> 00:27:29.240
 relative

00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:29.800
 Elizabeth

00:27:29.800 --> 00:27:30.240
 in her

00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:30.460
 old

00:27:30.460 --> 00:27:30.860
 age

00:27:30.860 --> 00:27:31.020
 has

00:27:31.020 --> 00:27:31.300
 also

00:27:31.300 --> 00:27:31.720
 conceived

00:27:31.720 --> 00:27:31.920
 a

00:27:31.920 --> 00:27:32.140
 son.

00:27:32.500 --> 00:27:32.660
 And

00:27:32.660 --> 00:27:32.860
 this

00:27:32.860 --> 00:27:32.960
 is

00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:33.120
 the

00:27:33.120 --> 00:27:33.400
 sixth

00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:33.720
 month

00:27:33.720 --> 00:27:33.900
 of

00:27:33.900 --> 00:27:34.160
 her

00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:34.500
 who

00:27:34.500 --> 00:27:34.800
 was

00:27:34.800 --> 00:27:35.120
 called

00:27:35.120 --> 00:27:35.560
 barren.

00:27:35.560 --> 00:27:37.160
 for

00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:37.680
 nothing

00:27:37.680 --> 00:27:37.940
 will

00:27:37.940 --> 00:27:38.100
 be

00:27:38.100 --> 00:27:38.700
 impossible

00:27:38.700 --> 00:27:40.160
 with

00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:40.580
 God.

00:27:43.200 --> 00:27:43.720
 If

00:27:43.720 --> 00:27:43.820
 you

00:27:43.820 --> 00:27:44.040
 are a

00:27:44.040 --> 00:27:44.220
 child

00:27:44.220 --> 00:27:44.380
 of

00:27:44.380 --> 00:27:44.600
 God,

00:27:44.660 --> 00:27:44.740
 He

00:27:44.740 --> 00:27:44.900
 can

00:27:44.900 --> 00:27:45.300
 accomplish

00:27:45.300 --> 00:27:45.520
 the

00:27:45.520 --> 00:27:45.940
 impossible

00:27:45.940 --> 00:27:46.260
 with

00:27:46.260 --> 00:27:46.400
 your

00:27:46.400 --> 00:27:46.760
 life.

00:27:48.620 --> 00:27:49.140
 Just

00:27:49.140 --> 00:27:49.480
 know,

00:27:49.580 --> 00:27:49.860
 it may

00:27:49.860 --> 00:27:50.100
 not

00:27:50.100 --> 00:27:50.540
 look

00:27:50.540 --> 00:27:51.160
 and it

00:27:51.160 --> 00:27:51.360
 may

00:27:51.360 --> 00:27:51.600
 not

00:27:51.600 --> 00:27:51.920
 turn

00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:52.260
 out

00:27:52.260 --> 00:27:53.240
 the

00:27:53.240 --> 00:27:53.460
 way

00:27:53.460 --> 00:27:53.680
 you

00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:54.080
 hope,

00:27:54.920 --> 00:27:55.280
 plan,

00:27:55.460 --> 00:27:55.720
 or

00:27:55.720 --> 00:27:56.040
 pray.

00:27:57.340 --> 00:27:57.860
 That's

00:27:57.860 --> 00:27:58.020
 the

00:27:58.020 --> 00:27:58.420
 reality.

00:27:59.820 --> 00:28:00.340
 God's

00:28:00.340 --> 00:28:00.560
 going to

00:28:00.560 --> 00:28:00.980
 do what

00:28:00.980 --> 00:28:01.180
 He

00:28:01.180 --> 00:28:01.520
 needs

00:28:01.520 --> 00:28:01.660
 to

00:28:01.660 --> 00:28:01.900
 do

00:28:01.900 --> 00:28:02.140
 in

00:28:02.140 --> 00:28:02.300
 your

00:28:02.300 --> 00:28:02.760
 life.

00:28:04.220 --> 00:28:04.320
 And

00:28:04.320 --> 00:28:04.440
 when

00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:04.620
 you

00:28:04.620 --> 00:28:05.860
 face

00:28:05.860 --> 00:28:06.720
 impossibilities,

00:28:07.180 --> 00:28:07.540
 it

00:28:07.540 --> 00:28:07.780
 doesn't

00:28:07.780 --> 00:28:08.060
 always

00:28:08.060 --> 00:28:08.300
 turn

00:28:08.300 --> 00:28:08.440
 out

00:28:08.440 --> 00:28:08.600
 the

00:28:08.600 --> 00:28:08.740
 way

00:28:08.740 --> 00:28:08.880
 you

00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:09.180
 hope.

00:28:10.040 --> 00:28:10.360
 It

00:28:10.360 --> 00:28:10.600
 doesn't

00:28:10.600 --> 00:28:10.880
 always

00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:11.100
 turn

00:28:11.100 --> 00:28:11.280
 out

00:28:11.280 --> 00:28:11.460
 the

00:28:11.460 --> 00:28:11.640
 way

00:28:11.640 --> 00:28:11.800
 you

00:28:11.800 --> 00:28:11.960
 would

00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:12.380
 like.

00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:14.740
 But

00:28:14.740 --> 00:28:14.880
 it's

00:28:14.880 --> 00:28:15.000
 going

00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:15.120
 to

00:28:15.120 --> 00:28:15.340
 turn

00:28:15.340 --> 00:28:15.520
 out

00:28:15.520 --> 00:28:15.660
 the

00:28:15.660 --> 00:28:15.860
 way

00:28:15.860 --> 00:28:16.420
 God

00:28:16.420 --> 00:28:17.960
 desires

00:28:17.960 --> 00:28:18.260
 to

00:28:18.260 --> 00:28:18.520
 carry

00:28:18.520 --> 00:28:18.700
 it

00:28:18.700 --> 00:28:19.020
 through

00:28:19.020 --> 00:28:19.820
 in

00:28:19.820 --> 00:28:20.560
 and

00:28:20.560 --> 00:28:20.760
 through

00:28:20.760 --> 00:28:20.940
 your

00:28:20.940 --> 00:28:21.340
 life.

00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:22.680
 On

00:28:22.680 --> 00:28:22.820
 a

00:28:22.820 --> 00:28:23.080
 side

00:28:23.080 --> 00:28:23.380
 note,

00:28:23.960 --> 00:28:24.360
 if

00:28:24.360 --> 00:28:24.500
 you're

00:28:24.500 --> 00:28:24.980
 struggling,

00:28:25.080 --> 00:28:25.220
 if

00:28:25.220 --> 00:28:25.360
 you're

00:28:25.360 --> 00:28:25.680
 struggling

00:28:25.680 --> 00:28:25.920
 this

00:28:25.920 --> 00:28:26.180
 very

00:28:26.180 --> 00:28:26.560
 day

00:28:26.560 --> 00:28:27.460
 with

00:28:27.460 --> 00:28:27.700
 that

00:28:27.700 --> 00:28:27.880
 that

00:28:27.880 --> 00:28:28.200
 seems

00:28:28.200 --> 00:28:28.840
 impossible

00:28:28.840 --> 00:28:29.080
 and

00:28:29.080 --> 00:28:29.480
 you've

00:28:29.480 --> 00:28:30.480
 prayed

00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:30.840
 through

00:28:30.840 --> 00:28:31.040
 it,

00:28:31.100 --> 00:28:31.400
 you've

00:28:31.400 --> 00:28:32.060
 thought

00:28:32.060 --> 00:28:32.360
 about

00:28:32.360 --> 00:28:32.500
 it,

00:28:32.540 --> 00:28:33.520
 everything

00:28:33.520 --> 00:28:34.280
 imaginable

00:28:34.280 --> 00:28:34.660
 that you've

00:28:34.660 --> 00:28:35.020
 tried to

00:28:35.020 --> 00:28:35.200
 do,

00:28:35.280 --> 00:28:35.600
 but yet

00:28:35.600 --> 00:28:35.920
 there's

00:28:35.920 --> 00:28:36.300
 still

00:28:36.300 --> 00:28:36.560
 that

00:28:36.560 --> 00:28:36.940
 hurdle,

00:28:37.340 --> 00:28:37.620
 there's

00:28:37.620 --> 00:28:37.840
 still

00:28:37.840 --> 00:28:38.020
 that

00:28:38.020 --> 00:28:38.280
 area

00:28:38.280 --> 00:28:38.540
 where

00:28:38.540 --> 00:28:39.060
 it's

00:28:39.060 --> 00:28:39.260
 just

00:28:39.260 --> 00:28:39.540
 like

00:28:39.540 --> 00:28:39.720
 it's

00:28:39.720 --> 00:28:39.960
 not

00:28:39.960 --> 00:28:40.380
 working.

00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:41.680
 I

00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:42.100
 encourage

00:28:42.100 --> 00:28:42.240
 you

00:28:42.240 --> 00:28:42.360
 to

00:28:42.360 --> 00:28:42.540
 talk

00:28:42.540 --> 00:28:42.680
 to

00:28:42.680 --> 00:28:42.860
 one

00:28:42.860 --> 00:28:42.960
 of

00:28:42.960 --> 00:28:43.140
 us

00:28:43.140 --> 00:28:43.280
 as

00:28:43.280 --> 00:28:43.420
 your

00:28:43.420 --> 00:28:43.820
 pastor.

00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:46.140
 Let

00:28:46.140 --> 00:28:46.280
 us

00:28:46.280 --> 00:28:46.680
 be

00:28:46.680 --> 00:28:47.460
 a

00:28:47.460 --> 00:28:47.880
 sounding

00:28:47.880 --> 00:28:48.220
 board

00:28:48.220 --> 00:28:48.500
 for

00:28:48.500 --> 00:28:48.660
 you.

00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:49.820
 Let

00:28:49.820 --> 00:28:49.920
 us

00:28:49.920 --> 00:28:50.100
 be

00:28:50.100 --> 00:28:50.320
 the

00:28:50.320 --> 00:28:50.700
 person

00:28:50.700 --> 00:28:50.880
 that

00:28:50.880 --> 00:28:51.020
 can

00:28:51.020 --> 00:28:51.220
 give

00:28:51.220 --> 00:28:51.340
 you

00:28:51.340 --> 00:28:51.540
 some

00:28:51.540 --> 00:28:52.000
 spiritual

00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:52.660
 direction,

00:28:53.120 --> 00:28:53.380
 some

00:28:53.380 --> 00:28:53.740
 help,

00:28:54.540 --> 00:28:55.040
 and if

00:28:55.040 --> 00:28:55.200
 it

00:28:55.200 --> 00:28:55.760
 exceeds

00:28:55.760 --> 00:28:56.320
 beyond

00:28:56.320 --> 00:28:56.800
 our

00:28:56.800 --> 00:28:57.580
 understanding

00:28:57.580 --> 00:28:58.040
 and our

00:28:58.040 --> 00:28:58.520
 abilities,

00:28:58.900 --> 00:28:59.220
 we'll

00:28:59.220 --> 00:28:59.580
 continue

00:28:59.580 --> 00:29:00.020
 to find

00:29:00.020 --> 00:29:00.440
 whatever

00:29:00.440 --> 00:29:00.860
 help

00:29:00.860 --> 00:29:01.020
 that

00:29:01.020 --> 00:29:01.240
 you

00:29:01.240 --> 00:29:01.740
 need

00:29:01.740 --> 00:29:02.260
 to

00:29:02.260 --> 00:29:02.540
 face

00:29:02.540 --> 00:29:02.740
 the

00:29:02.740 --> 00:29:03.740
 impossibility.

00:29:04.040 --> 00:29:04.260
 I

00:29:04.260 --> 00:29:04.500
 know

00:29:04.500 --> 00:29:04.840
 that.

00:29:06.120 --> 00:29:06.680
 I've

00:29:06.680 --> 00:29:06.800
 been

00:29:06.800 --> 00:29:06.960
 here

00:29:06.960 --> 00:29:07.180
 now

00:29:07.180 --> 00:29:07.580
 20

00:29:07.580 --> 00:29:08.120
 years

00:29:08.120 --> 00:29:08.500
 and I

00:29:08.500 --> 00:29:08.680
 have

00:29:08.680 --> 00:29:09.380
 watched

00:29:09.380 --> 00:29:10.460
 countless

00:29:10.460 --> 00:29:11.160
 times

00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:12.260
 of

00:29:12.260 --> 00:29:12.720
 pastors

00:29:12.720 --> 00:29:13.180
 helping

00:29:13.180 --> 00:29:13.660
 those

00:29:13.660 --> 00:29:14.000
 of

00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:14.200
 you

00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:14.640
 guys

00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:15.040
 here

00:29:15.040 --> 00:29:16.020
 because

00:29:16.020 --> 00:29:16.420
 that's

00:29:16.420 --> 00:29:16.660
 one of

00:29:16.660 --> 00:29:16.740
 the

00:29:16.740 --> 00:29:17.000
 things

00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:17.160
 that

00:29:17.160 --> 00:29:17.380
 God

00:29:17.380 --> 00:29:17.880
 desires

00:29:17.880 --> 00:29:18.140
 for

00:29:18.140 --> 00:29:18.300
 us

00:29:18.300 --> 00:29:18.440
 to

00:29:18.440 --> 00:29:18.660
 do.

00:29:19.080 --> 00:29:19.580
 Don't

00:29:19.580 --> 00:29:19.980
 walk

00:29:19.980 --> 00:29:20.140
 it

00:29:20.140 --> 00:29:20.560
 alone.

00:29:21.180 --> 00:29:21.420
 Seek

00:29:21.420 --> 00:29:21.620
 the

00:29:21.620 --> 00:29:22.040
 counsel.

00:29:23.660 --> 00:29:24.220
 First

00:29:24.220 --> 00:29:24.500
 step

00:29:24.500 --> 00:29:25.000
 might be

00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:25.580
 to come

00:29:25.580 --> 00:29:26.060
 and to

00:29:26.060 --> 00:29:26.340
 speak

00:29:26.340 --> 00:29:26.520
 with

00:29:26.520 --> 00:29:26.720
 one

00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:26.860
 of

00:29:26.860 --> 00:29:27.180
 us

00:29:27.180 --> 00:29:27.980
 and

00:29:27.980 --> 00:29:28.120
 I

00:29:28.120 --> 00:29:28.500
 encourage

00:29:28.500 --> 00:29:28.620
 you

00:29:28.620 --> 00:29:28.760
 to

00:29:28.760 --> 00:29:29.000
 take

00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:29.300
 that.

00:29:30.220 --> 00:29:30.640
 The

00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:30.920
 last

00:29:30.920 --> 00:29:31.140
 thing

00:29:31.140 --> 00:29:31.300
 is

00:29:31.300 --> 00:29:31.660
 this.

00:29:32.520 --> 00:29:32.740
 Mary

00:29:32.740 --> 00:29:33.300
 responded

00:29:33.300 --> 00:29:33.500
 to

00:29:33.500 --> 00:29:33.820
 God

00:29:33.820 --> 00:29:34.400
 with

00:29:34.400 --> 00:29:34.960
 humility

00:29:34.960 --> 00:29:35.720
 and

00:29:36.120 --> 00:29:36.380
 obedience.

00:29:37.280 --> 00:29:37.960
 That's

00:29:37.960 --> 00:29:38.340
 the beauty

00:29:38.340 --> 00:29:38.680
 for me.

00:29:38.760 --> 00:29:38.960
 That's

00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:39.600
 the beauty

00:29:39.600 --> 00:29:40.160
 part of

00:29:40.160 --> 00:29:40.520
 the beauty

00:29:40.520 --> 00:29:40.920
 of this

00:29:40.920 --> 00:29:41.360
 story.

00:29:42.200 --> 00:29:42.800
 That

00:29:42.800 --> 00:29:43.100
 Mary

00:29:43.100 --> 00:29:43.840
 responded

00:29:43.840 --> 00:29:44.080
 with

00:29:44.080 --> 00:29:44.720
 obedience

00:29:44.720 --> 00:29:45.220
 and

00:29:45.220 --> 00:29:45.840
 humility.

00:29:46.740 --> 00:29:47.120
 She

00:29:47.120 --> 00:29:47.340
 didn't

00:29:47.340 --> 00:29:47.760
 come up

00:29:47.760 --> 00:29:47.940
 with

00:29:47.940 --> 00:29:48.520
 excuses

00:29:48.520 --> 00:29:49.180
 on why

00:29:49.180 --> 00:29:49.720
 she

00:29:49.720 --> 00:29:50.020
 couldn't

00:29:50.020 --> 00:29:50.180
 be

00:29:50.180 --> 00:29:50.380
 the

00:29:50.380 --> 00:29:50.740
 one.

00:29:52.360 --> 00:29:53.080
 She

00:29:53.080 --> 00:29:53.940
 didn't

00:29:53.940 --> 00:29:54.340
 tuck

00:29:54.340 --> 00:29:54.880
 and run

00:29:54.880 --> 00:29:55.180
 from

00:29:55.180 --> 00:29:55.660
 anything

00:29:55.660 --> 00:29:56.540
 and try

00:29:56.540 --> 00:29:57.200
 to hide.

00:29:59.780 --> 00:30:00.500
 With

00:30:00.500 --> 00:30:00.980
 humility

00:30:00.980 --> 00:30:01.220
 and

00:30:01.220 --> 00:30:01.940
 obedience

00:30:01.940 --> 00:30:03.880
 she

00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:04.460
 recognized

00:30:04.460 --> 00:30:05.000
 who she

00:30:05.000 --> 00:30:05.480
 was

00:30:05.480 --> 00:30:06.120
 and

00:30:06.120 --> 00:30:06.680
 released

00:30:06.680 --> 00:30:06.880
 it

00:30:06.880 --> 00:30:07.040
 to

00:30:07.040 --> 00:30:07.420
 God.

00:30:08.200 --> 00:30:08.920
 That's

00:30:08.920 --> 00:30:09.100
 the

00:30:09.100 --> 00:30:09.460
 key

00:30:09.460 --> 00:30:09.720
 in

00:30:09.720 --> 00:30:09.920
 this

00:30:09.920 --> 00:30:10.280
 final

00:30:10.280 --> 00:30:10.880
 response

00:30:10.880 --> 00:30:11.020
 that

00:30:11.020 --> 00:30:11.100
 we

00:30:11.100 --> 00:30:11.300
 see

00:30:11.300 --> 00:30:11.380
 in

00:30:11.380 --> 00:30:11.500
 this

00:30:11.500 --> 00:30:11.880
 passage.

00:30:12.520 --> 00:30:12.660
 She

00:30:12.660 --> 00:30:13.440
 recognized

00:30:13.440 --> 00:30:13.900
 who

00:30:13.900 --> 00:30:14.220
 she

00:30:14.220 --> 00:30:14.800
 was

00:30:14.800 --> 00:30:15.420
 in

00:30:15.420 --> 00:30:15.940
 Christ

00:30:15.940 --> 00:30:17.660
 and

00:30:17.660 --> 00:30:18.520
 responded

00:30:18.520 --> 00:30:19.340
 and

00:30:19.340 --> 00:30:19.780
 released

00:30:19.780 --> 00:30:19.940
 it

00:30:19.940 --> 00:30:20.100
 to

00:30:20.100 --> 00:30:20.420
 God.

00:30:21.700 --> 00:30:22.340
 Look

00:30:22.340 --> 00:30:22.620
 again

00:30:22.620 --> 00:30:22.900
 at what

00:30:22.900 --> 00:30:23.040
 she

00:30:23.040 --> 00:30:23.460
 says.

00:30:24.540 --> 00:30:25.100
 Behold

00:30:25.100 --> 00:30:26.140
 I

00:30:26.140 --> 00:30:26.640
 am

00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:27.240
 the

00:30:27.240 --> 00:30:27.660
 servant

00:30:27.660 --> 00:30:28.280
 of

00:30:28.280 --> 00:30:28.440
 the

00:30:28.440 --> 00:30:28.700
 Lord.

00:30:30.760 --> 00:30:31.440
 Y'all

00:30:31.440 --> 00:30:31.700
 that's

00:30:31.700 --> 00:30:31.960
 very

00:30:31.960 --> 00:30:32.320
 important

00:30:32.320 --> 00:30:32.780
 for you

00:30:32.780 --> 00:30:32.960
 and

00:30:32.960 --> 00:30:33.100
 for

00:30:33.100 --> 00:30:33.400
 me.

00:30:34.520 --> 00:30:34.840
 when

00:30:34.840 --> 00:30:34.980
 the

00:30:34.980 --> 00:30:35.180
 Lord

00:30:35.180 --> 00:30:35.360
 has

00:30:35.360 --> 00:30:35.700
 taken

00:30:35.700 --> 00:30:35.940
 us

00:30:35.940 --> 00:30:36.140
 through

00:30:36.140 --> 00:30:36.580
 something

00:30:36.580 --> 00:30:36.760
 or

00:30:36.760 --> 00:30:36.900
 when

00:30:36.900 --> 00:30:37.060
 the

00:30:37.060 --> 00:30:37.280
 Lord

00:30:37.280 --> 00:30:37.480
 has

00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:37.860
 presented

00:30:37.860 --> 00:30:38.200
 something

00:30:38.200 --> 00:30:38.460
 to

00:30:38.460 --> 00:30:38.740
 us

00:30:38.740 --> 00:30:39.560
 it's

00:30:39.560 --> 00:30:39.920
 important

00:30:39.920 --> 00:30:40.120
 that

00:30:40.120 --> 00:30:40.280
 our

00:30:40.280 --> 00:30:40.880
 response

00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:41.280
 be

00:30:41.280 --> 00:30:42.240
 I

00:30:42.240 --> 00:30:42.420
 am

00:30:42.420 --> 00:30:42.620
 the

00:30:42.620 --> 00:30:43.040
 servant

00:30:43.040 --> 00:30:43.380
 of

00:30:43.380 --> 00:30:43.520
 the

00:30:43.520 --> 00:30:43.760
 Lord.

00:30:43.840 --> 00:30:44.000
 You're

00:30:44.000 --> 00:30:44.340
 saying

00:30:44.340 --> 00:30:44.600
 I

00:30:44.600 --> 00:30:45.080
 surrender

00:30:45.080 --> 00:30:45.320
 to

00:30:45.320 --> 00:30:45.640
 you

00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:46.140
 God.

00:30:46.660 --> 00:30:47.120
 God

00:30:47.120 --> 00:30:47.320
 I'm

00:30:47.320 --> 00:30:47.420
 going

00:30:47.420 --> 00:30:47.540
 to

00:30:47.540 --> 00:30:47.740
 do

00:30:47.740 --> 00:30:48.100
 whatever

00:30:48.100 --> 00:30:48.320
 it

00:30:48.320 --> 00:30:48.560
 is

00:30:48.560 --> 00:30:48.740
 that

00:30:48.740 --> 00:30:48.920
 you

00:30:48.920 --> 00:30:49.420
 desire

00:30:49.420 --> 00:30:49.680
 for

00:30:49.680 --> 00:30:49.820
 me

00:30:49.820 --> 00:30:49.960
 to

00:30:49.960 --> 00:30:50.200
 do.

00:30:50.500 --> 00:30:50.840
 It's

00:30:50.840 --> 00:30:51.100
 out

00:30:51.100 --> 00:30:51.180
 of

00:30:51.180 --> 00:30:51.380
 my

00:30:51.380 --> 00:30:51.720
 hands

00:30:51.720 --> 00:30:52.040
 it's

00:30:52.040 --> 00:30:52.300
 not

00:30:52.300 --> 00:30:52.620
 me.

00:30:54.060 --> 00:30:54.640
 You're

00:30:54.640 --> 00:30:55.060
 placing

00:30:55.060 --> 00:30:55.300
 this

00:30:55.300 --> 00:30:55.500
 on

00:30:55.500 --> 00:30:55.780
 me.

00:30:56.120 --> 00:30:56.400
 I

00:30:56.400 --> 00:30:56.660
 am

00:30:56.660 --> 00:30:57.080
 your

00:30:57.080 --> 00:30:57.640
 servant.

00:30:57.640 --> 00:30:59.300
 but

00:30:59.300 --> 00:30:59.520
 not

00:30:59.520 --> 00:30:59.720
 only

00:30:59.720 --> 00:31:00.000
 that

00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:00.280
 Mary

00:31:00.280 --> 00:31:00.560
 then

00:31:00.560 --> 00:31:01.080
 says

00:31:01.080 --> 00:31:01.660
 let

00:31:01.660 --> 00:31:01.760
 it

00:31:01.760 --> 00:31:02.020
 be.

00:31:03.700 --> 00:31:04.260
 Lord

00:31:04.260 --> 00:31:05.160
 I'm

00:31:05.160 --> 00:31:05.360
 good

00:31:05.360 --> 00:31:05.580
 with

00:31:05.580 --> 00:31:05.980
 this.

00:31:06.700 --> 00:31:07.260
 Lord

00:31:07.260 --> 00:31:07.660
 I'm

00:31:07.660 --> 00:31:07.760
 going

00:31:07.760 --> 00:31:07.860
 to

00:31:07.860 --> 00:31:08.180
 do

00:31:08.180 --> 00:31:08.480
 whatever

00:31:08.480 --> 00:31:08.680
 it

00:31:08.680 --> 00:31:08.900
 is

00:31:08.900 --> 00:31:09.080
 that

00:31:09.080 --> 00:31:09.200
 you

00:31:09.200 --> 00:31:09.340
 are

00:31:09.340 --> 00:31:09.680
 asking

00:31:09.680 --> 00:31:09.900
 me

00:31:09.900 --> 00:31:10.020
 to

00:31:10.020 --> 00:31:10.240
 do.

00:31:10.680 --> 00:31:11.120
 Let

00:31:11.120 --> 00:31:11.280
 it

00:31:11.280 --> 00:31:11.600
 be

00:31:11.600 --> 00:31:11.900
 to

00:31:11.900 --> 00:31:12.340
 me

00:31:12.340 --> 00:31:13.560
 according

00:31:13.560 --> 00:31:13.780
 to

00:31:13.780 --> 00:31:13.940
 your

00:31:13.940 --> 00:31:14.280
 word.

00:31:15.640 --> 00:31:15.820
 And

00:31:15.820 --> 00:31:15.940
 then

00:31:15.940 --> 00:31:16.080
 it

00:31:16.080 --> 00:31:16.340
 says

00:31:16.340 --> 00:31:16.460
 and

00:31:16.460 --> 00:31:16.580
 the

00:31:16.580 --> 00:31:16.860
 angel

00:31:16.860 --> 00:31:17.280
 departed

00:31:17.280 --> 00:31:17.580
 from

00:31:17.580 --> 00:31:17.780
 her.

00:31:20.300 --> 00:31:20.700
 No

00:31:20.700 --> 00:31:20.960
 matter

00:31:20.960 --> 00:31:21.180
 the

00:31:21.180 --> 00:31:21.780
 situation

00:31:21.780 --> 00:31:23.340
 here's

00:31:23.340 --> 00:31:23.500
 how

00:31:23.500 --> 00:31:23.780
 God

00:31:23.780 --> 00:31:24.080
 helps

00:31:24.080 --> 00:31:24.220
 you

00:31:24.220 --> 00:31:24.640
 face

00:31:24.640 --> 00:31:24.940
 that

00:31:24.940 --> 00:31:25.140
 which

00:31:25.140 --> 00:31:25.440
 seems

00:31:25.440 --> 00:31:26.020
 impossible.

00:31:26.680 --> 00:31:27.480
 His

00:31:27.480 --> 00:31:27.920
 presence

00:31:27.920 --> 00:31:28.180
 is

00:31:28.180 --> 00:31:28.440
 with

00:31:28.440 --> 00:31:28.640
 you.

00:31:29.420 --> 00:31:29.900
 His

00:31:29.900 --> 00:31:30.360
 presence

00:31:30.360 --> 00:31:30.640
 is

00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:30.900
 there

00:31:30.900 --> 00:31:31.080
 to

00:31:31.080 --> 00:31:31.480
 guide

00:31:31.480 --> 00:31:31.740
 you.

00:31:32.480 --> 00:31:32.860
 His

00:31:32.860 --> 00:31:33.320
 presence

00:31:33.320 --> 00:31:33.600
 is

00:31:33.600 --> 00:31:33.880
 there

00:31:33.880 --> 00:31:34.140
 to

00:31:34.140 --> 00:31:34.700
 encourage

00:31:34.700 --> 00:31:34.980
 you.

00:31:36.240 --> 00:31:36.580
 It

00:31:36.580 --> 00:31:36.740
 is

00:31:36.740 --> 00:31:36.940
 your

00:31:36.940 --> 00:31:37.660
 responsibility

00:31:37.660 --> 00:31:37.860
 and

00:31:37.860 --> 00:31:38.040
 my

00:31:38.040 --> 00:31:38.680
 responsibility

00:31:38.680 --> 00:31:39.240
 to

00:31:39.240 --> 00:31:39.620
 talk

00:31:39.620 --> 00:31:39.800
 to

00:31:39.800 --> 00:31:40.180
 God

00:31:40.180 --> 00:31:41.000
 and

00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:41.140
 to

00:31:41.140 --> 00:31:41.540
 listen

00:31:41.540 --> 00:31:41.800
 to

00:31:41.800 --> 00:31:42.000
 him

00:31:42.000 --> 00:31:42.480
 speak.

00:31:42.580 --> 00:31:42.780
 So

00:31:42.780 --> 00:31:43.260
 important.

00:31:44.280 --> 00:31:44.660
 Talk

00:31:44.660 --> 00:31:44.840
 to

00:31:44.840 --> 00:31:45.220
 God

00:31:45.220 --> 00:31:45.740
 and

00:31:45.740 --> 00:31:46.060
 listen

00:31:46.060 --> 00:31:46.320
 to

00:31:46.320 --> 00:31:46.740
 God

00:31:46.740 --> 00:31:47.400
 speak

00:31:47.400 --> 00:31:47.880
 to

00:31:47.880 --> 00:31:48.180
 you.

00:31:49.020 --> 00:31:49.360
 I

00:31:49.360 --> 00:31:49.580
 really

00:31:49.580 --> 00:31:49.840
 think

00:31:49.840 --> 00:31:50.100
 that's

00:31:50.100 --> 00:31:50.240
 where

00:31:50.240 --> 00:31:50.400
 we

00:31:50.400 --> 00:31:50.640
 miss

00:31:50.640 --> 00:31:50.780
 it.

00:31:51.780 --> 00:31:52.240
 We

00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:52.480
 want

00:31:52.480 --> 00:31:52.780
 God

00:31:52.780 --> 00:31:52.960
 to

00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:53.220
 step

00:31:53.220 --> 00:31:53.480
 in

00:31:53.480 --> 00:31:53.600
 in

00:31:53.600 --> 00:31:53.760
 that

00:31:53.760 --> 00:31:54.180
 fast

00:31:54.180 --> 00:31:54.440
 food

00:31:54.440 --> 00:31:54.800
 lane

00:31:54.800 --> 00:31:55.020
 and

00:31:55.020 --> 00:31:55.620
 fix

00:31:55.620 --> 00:31:55.800
 it

00:31:55.800 --> 00:31:56.140
 for

00:31:56.140 --> 00:31:56.360
 us

00:31:56.360 --> 00:31:56.560
 and

00:31:56.560 --> 00:31:57.020
 give

00:31:57.020 --> 00:31:57.160
 us

00:31:57.160 --> 00:31:57.760
 everything.

00:31:59.180 --> 00:31:59.540
 Yet

00:31:59.540 --> 00:31:59.680
 we

00:31:59.680 --> 00:31:59.920
 don't

00:31:59.920 --> 00:32:00.320
 turn

00:32:00.320 --> 00:32:00.520
 to

00:32:00.520 --> 00:32:00.800
 God

00:32:00.800 --> 00:32:00.920
 and

00:32:00.920 --> 00:32:01.020
 we
