 Welcome to the Willow Ridge Sermons Podcast, where you can listen to audio from our most

00:00:09.220 --> 00:00:10.300
 recent sermons and more.

00:00:10.860 --> 00:00:15.100
 Thanks for listening, and be sure to add this show to your library if you'd like to automatically

00:00:15.100 --> 00:00:16.820
 receive new episodes each week.

00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:29.560
 Good morning.

00:00:30.700 --> 00:00:34.280
 If you have your Bibles, and I hope you do, I want to invite you to join us in Matthew

00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:35.780
 chapter 10.

00:00:36.500 --> 00:00:41.880
 If you do not have a copy of God's Word and you would like one, we have some of these black

00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:42.960
 copies that are available.

00:00:43.300 --> 00:00:45.200
 They are back in the back at our connections table.

00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:46.880
 You do not have to wait to the end of the service.

00:00:47.180 --> 00:00:49.560
 You can go by and get one right now if you would like one.

00:00:49.620 --> 00:00:54.720
 We want everyone to make sure they have a copy of God's Word, or you can stop by there after

00:00:54.720 --> 00:00:55.360
 the service.

00:00:55.720 --> 00:00:57.260
 Feel free to come by and get one.

00:00:57.260 --> 00:00:59.160
 But also, keep coming to my shelf down here.

00:00:59.400 --> 00:01:04.340
 At the end of the service today, we will be partaking in the Lord's Supper together, and

00:01:04.340 --> 00:01:05.120
 we have our elements.

00:01:05.520 --> 00:01:08.020
 Hopefully, you got some from our greeters as you came in.

00:01:08.260 --> 00:01:09.960
 If you did not, it's okay.

00:01:10.180 --> 00:01:14.900
 If you want to take part in this with us, if you're a follower of Jesus Christ, we want

00:01:14.900 --> 00:01:16.820
 to encourage you to go back to the back.

00:01:17.100 --> 00:01:22.640
 Make sure you grab one of those, and we will do the instructions for that at the end of our

00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:23.040
 service.

00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:26.800
 Also, at the very end, we've got another missions team who is going out.

00:01:26.880 --> 00:01:30.900
 Our young adult team will be headed out this week back to New York City, where the high

00:01:30.900 --> 00:01:37.520
 schoolers just got back from to do ministry, do a VBS-type event there with our partner church.

00:01:37.960 --> 00:01:41.020
 And so, if you would like to, we're going to be praying for them, and I want to encourage

00:01:41.020 --> 00:01:46.640
 you to pray for that team over the course of this week as they minister in New York City.

00:01:47.420 --> 00:01:52.380
 Also, I hope you all had a wonderful fourth yesterday.

00:01:53.960 --> 00:02:00.320
 Several years, you ever make a decision, and then look back on that decision and go, yeah,

00:02:00.380 --> 00:02:01.260
 probably shouldn't have done that?

00:02:02.600 --> 00:02:08.760
 About five years ago, our family decided to make a purchase.

00:02:09.880 --> 00:02:17.960
 And we purchased a red-bone coonhound, and then made him an indoor dog.

00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:22.960
 Now, I'm not sure which one of those was the worst of the bad decisions that we made.

00:02:23.100 --> 00:02:24.140
 We love our dog.

00:02:24.260 --> 00:02:25.160
 We love him dearly.

00:02:25.200 --> 00:02:26.120
 His name is Otis.

00:02:26.500 --> 00:02:29.480
 If you follow us on Facebook, you can see all type of things with Otis.

00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:38.560
 But around holidays that have fireworks, we take what's called pupcations, and we get out

00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:45.020
 of town into the most remote areas that we can find to try to hide our family from fireworks

00:02:45.020 --> 00:02:46.340
 because of our dog.

00:02:46.440 --> 00:02:49.780
 Now, our dog does not get nervous with fireworks.

00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:54.640
 Instead, he gets angry and tries to attack fireworks.

00:02:54.640 --> 00:03:00.240
 And so, Aaron and him, we've been camping up in McCormick, South Carolina, for the last

00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:00.700
 several days.

00:03:00.820 --> 00:03:02.080
 I came back last night.

00:03:02.160 --> 00:03:06.440
 I don't know how your neighborhood was, but in the suburbs of Red Bank, let me just tell

00:03:06.440 --> 00:03:07.900
 you, there was about $10 million.

00:03:08.300 --> 00:03:11.200
 We're blown up right around my house last night.

00:03:11.700 --> 00:03:13.140
 So, hey, enjoy it.

00:03:13.220 --> 00:03:14.020
 Have fun, man.

00:03:14.740 --> 00:03:15.440
 America's birthday.

00:03:15.600 --> 00:03:17.280
 But I do, I love the 4th of July.

00:03:17.700 --> 00:03:18.960
 I love being able to get away.

00:03:19.980 --> 00:03:20.980
 I love being able to spend time.

00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:25.200
 But I do love what the 4th represents for us as a country.

00:03:25.760 --> 00:03:35.160
 You know, when we think through the freedoms that we have, and we talk to, especially in my world,

00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:40.740
 where we talk to pastors who pastor and minister, Christians in other countries and other parts

00:03:40.740 --> 00:03:47.880
 of the world that do not have the same freedoms that we have, it wears on them and reveals to

00:03:47.880 --> 00:03:51.000
 us the joys and the privilege that we do have.

00:03:51.600 --> 00:03:57.800
 And I think what holidays like the 4th of July remind me of within that is not just the freedoms

00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:03.560
 that I have, but the men and the women and families who made sacrifices in order so that my family

00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:08.940
 could do things like camp at a state park and boil shrimp and eat them together.

00:04:09.940 --> 00:04:13.620
 The sacrifices that were made so that we could gather here today.

00:04:14.760 --> 00:04:19.480
 None of us were afraid when we got out of our car and made that journey here today.

00:04:20.320 --> 00:04:27.620
 None of us are afraid as we go out into our homes and our neighborhoods to carry the name of Jesus Christ today.

00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:32.740
 And that has a lot to do with those who made a sacrifice.

00:04:33.700 --> 00:04:40.820
 What I also like about July 4th is it does remind me of the gospel story.

00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:49.800
 How Jesus Christ made the sacrifice so that you and I could be set free from our sin.

00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:59.520
 And there is no tyrant that can come and enforce the rule of sin back on your life and mine, the penalty.

00:04:59.660 --> 00:05:01.360
 Jesus has paid for it.

00:05:01.960 --> 00:05:06.880
 And so in light of all that we see, in light of all that's going on and what we can get into,

00:05:07.080 --> 00:05:11.260
 we can thank God that you and I live in a country that we can celebrate

00:05:11.260 --> 00:05:13.880
 and people can spend way too much money on fireworks

00:05:13.880 --> 00:05:18.360
 and we can eat hot dogs and get together with family and go camping and do all those things.

00:05:18.700 --> 00:05:21.920
 But may it continually remind us about the greatest freedom that we have.

00:05:22.460 --> 00:05:25.120
 Freedom in Christ Jesus.

00:05:25.860 --> 00:05:33.040
 And so would you join me as we pray, as we thank God for the freedom that we celebrate both here in this country and in Christ.

00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:33.660
 Would you join me?

00:05:34.700 --> 00:05:38.700
 God, I thank you so much for this time that we could be here together today.

00:05:39.840 --> 00:05:43.100
 God, I thank you for this country, Lord, and your sovereignty and your grace.

00:05:43.700 --> 00:05:48.860
 God, in all of the places, in all of the time of the history of the world of where you could have placed us,

00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:50.920
 Lord, you placed us here with purpose and reason.

00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:53.140
 And God, we thank you for that.

00:05:53.960 --> 00:05:54.960
 We thank you for that.

00:05:56.300 --> 00:06:00.900
 God, where we may disagree on things in politics,

00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:05.680
 where we may disagree from one political party to the next,

00:06:06.540 --> 00:06:10.480
 Lord, may we thank you that we live in a country that has freedoms that allow us to disagree.

00:06:11.540 --> 00:06:16.680
 May we thank you that we live in a country that allows us to gather here together today.

00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:23.360
 But God, may we also remember those who sacrificed so that this would be possible.

00:06:24.420 --> 00:06:33.080
 But God, could we also lift up the men and women of our armed forces who today are scattered all over this world,

00:06:34.380 --> 00:06:39.700
 fighting a fight and ensuring that the freedoms that we have maintained.

00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:49.520
 And God, in that, as in with everything, may it remind us more of who Jesus is and more of what he's done.

00:06:50.880 --> 00:06:52.220
 That he has fought the battle.

00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:57.780
 And that today, while it seems that the war is still going on,

00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:02.740
 God, for those of us in Christ, we stand in the victory.

00:07:03.780 --> 00:07:05.200
 We stand in the victory.

00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:13.120
 So, God, as we open your word today, may we respond to you and who you are and what you've called us to.

00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:15.360
 And it's in Jesus' name we pray.

00:07:16.380 --> 00:07:16.720
 Amen.

00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:17.600
 Amen.

00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:24.660
 If you know me, you know one of my favorite TV shows of all time is the Andy Griffith Show.

00:07:25.400 --> 00:07:32.320
 It was the first TV show that my wife and kids and I could come together and watch.

00:07:32.580 --> 00:07:35.600
 And honestly, we were all four entertained.

00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:37.900
 I've got some characters.

00:07:38.260 --> 00:07:40.220
 In fact, our dog, Otis, right?

00:07:40.740 --> 00:07:41.860
 And then there's Otis.

00:07:42.540 --> 00:07:43.940
 But we've got all the characters.

00:07:44.060 --> 00:07:44.980
 We've got all of our favorites.

00:07:45.080 --> 00:07:47.380
 But one of my favorite episodes,

00:07:47.940 --> 00:07:49.680
 one of my all-time favorite episodes,

00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:51.760
 happens in season three.

00:07:52.500 --> 00:07:56.700
 And it's entitled Barney's First Car.

00:07:58.020 --> 00:07:59.080
 I hear some of you chuckling.

00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:02.240
 How many of you remember that episode, Barney's First Car?

00:08:02.320 --> 00:08:03.200
 I've got a handful.

00:08:03.300 --> 00:08:06.920
 If you haven't seen it, let me kind of summarize what happens in this.

00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:10.380
 Barney, who's always the guy who gets himself in trouble, right?

00:08:10.700 --> 00:08:12.360
 He's the illogical one.

00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:14.880
 Andy is the voice of reason.

00:08:15.860 --> 00:08:18.640
 And Barney decides to buy a car.

00:08:19.540 --> 00:08:22.960
 Now, with all the guidance that his boss, the sheriff, Andy,

00:08:23.080 --> 00:08:27.540
 and best friend since childhood has given him of what he needs to do

00:08:27.540 --> 00:08:29.520
 before he buys this first car,

00:08:30.080 --> 00:08:37.840
 Barney caught up in all of the emotion of buying a car from little old lady Lesh,

00:08:38.460 --> 00:08:43.780
 who's selling her husband's car that she only puts five miles a month on, right?

00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:48.880
 Barney gives all of his money over and then decides,

00:08:49.400 --> 00:08:54.780
 to take everyone out for a nice Sunday afternoon ride.

00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:57.340
 A couple of things amazed me about that.

00:08:57.400 --> 00:09:02.100
 Number one, it's the fact that how everyone in choosing in that time frame to relax still

00:09:02.100 --> 00:09:04.120
 decided to wear dresses and suits, right?

00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:10.780
 But they're all out in the car and they're all out on their Sunday drive to enjoy this new car.

00:09:10.940 --> 00:09:19.580
 Barney gets in, he's got a straw hat on, he's so proud, he's got a salt and pepper suit with his little bow tie on and they begin on their journey.

00:09:20.380 --> 00:09:25.140
 And if you know how these shows go, you know what happens.

00:09:26.060 --> 00:09:32.840
 Miss Lesh turns out to not be kind, sweet, little widow Miss Lesh.

00:09:33.380 --> 00:09:39.760
 And instead, she's a con artist and she's ripped Barney off.

00:09:39.760 --> 00:09:45.840
 And sure enough, over the course of the drive, the car begins to experience trouble.

00:09:46.040 --> 00:09:54.980
 The car begins to overheat, the car breaks down and Barney is left with no money and without a car.

00:09:56.020 --> 00:10:02.240
 Miss Lesh had hidden and held back all of the issues that Barney would face.

00:10:02.420 --> 00:10:14.780
 And conned him so that he would give something to her and she would give him something that wasn't really what she promised it would be.

00:10:16.040 --> 00:10:22.240
 Today, in our passage of Scripture, we're going to look at some verses.

00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:24.520
 We're going to look at verse 7 to 42.

00:10:24.940 --> 00:10:26.080
 Let me pause real quick.

00:10:26.160 --> 00:10:31.540
 I know we got the kids in here and I promise, I promise we're going to move fast this morning.

00:10:32.420 --> 00:10:44.440
 Jesus is not going to hide the struggles that the disciples will face when they give their yes to him.

00:10:45.140 --> 00:10:51.040
 When they say to him, we're going to be obedient and do what you've called us to do,

00:10:51.620 --> 00:11:00.760
 then Jesus prepares his followers for what they will face when they give their yes to God.

00:11:01.420 --> 00:11:05.380
 This morning, I want us to look at this with that in mind.

00:11:06.080 --> 00:11:13.560
 If you, and hopefully building off of last week's message, are giving your yes to God,

00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:19.360
 to live as a missionary in a scent culture where God has placed you,

00:11:19.860 --> 00:11:25.200
 what to expect when I give God my yes?

00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:31.020
 You see, Jesus in this passage is not going to try to bait and switch.

00:11:31.060 --> 00:11:33.040
 He's not going to try to con you.

00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:39.260
 He's not going to try to lead you to something, hoping that it's this and then under-fulfill.

00:11:39.620 --> 00:11:46.360
 Jesus is going to lay out, this is what you should expect as you follow me.

00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:54.180
 Last week, we looked at the passage where Jesus says the harvest is plentiful and the laborers are few.

00:11:54.180 --> 00:12:01.100
 And the challenge was within that, within the calling in first century for Christ in that moment for his people,

00:12:01.280 --> 00:12:04.160
 is the calling that he extends to us today.

00:12:04.340 --> 00:12:11.260
 Would you and I be willing to live every day, not looking for the time that we are going to go on a mission trip,

00:12:11.400 --> 00:12:17.000
 but would we live every single day, right here, right now, with our yes to him,

00:12:17.140 --> 00:12:22.720
 that I will live every single day on mission, looking for opportunities, everyday moments,

00:12:23.060 --> 00:12:28.980
 everyday conversations, to turn them into conversations with others about Jesus.

00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:31.500
 What if we did that?

00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:38.240
 And the very last thing that we looked at is Jesus goes and he sends the 12.

00:12:38.780 --> 00:12:39.760
 He sends the 12.

00:12:39.860 --> 00:12:43.740
 And I want you to look with me in verse 7 of Matthew 10,

00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:48.900
 as Jesus lays out what they will face.

00:12:50.060 --> 00:12:58.760
 And it's what you and I will face if we honestly and earnestly give our yes to God.

00:12:59.940 --> 00:13:01.120
 Starting in verse 7.

00:13:02.340 --> 00:13:07.860
 And proclaim as you go, saying the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

00:13:09.020 --> 00:13:13.800
 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the leper, cast out demons.

00:13:15.340 --> 00:13:22.140
 You receive without paying, give without pay, acquire no gold or silver or copper for your belt,

00:13:22.380 --> 00:13:29.740
 no bag for your journey or tunics or sandals or a staff, for the laborer deserves his food.

00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:36.860
 The first thing that I want us to see within this, if we're going to give our yes to God,

00:13:37.280 --> 00:13:41.920
 is God is calling us to go to the great need.

00:13:42.800 --> 00:13:47.500
 God is calling us to go to the great need.

00:13:48.340 --> 00:14:05.480
 Now, while the gospel and what we're called to, all are welcomed to come and hear.

00:14:06.020 --> 00:14:09.320
 All are welcome to come and hear.

00:14:10.020 --> 00:14:12.800
 I don't care where you've found yourself.

00:14:12.800 --> 00:14:17.180
 If you found yourself here today, you are welcome.

00:14:17.580 --> 00:14:21.500
 There's a message that God has for us, the truth of the gospel.

00:14:21.700 --> 00:14:27.200
 And we hope that we can all come together and hear of the truth of the gospel.

00:14:27.400 --> 00:14:33.020
 But at the heart of the gospel is not simply a come and hear message.

00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:37.040
 At the heart of the gospel is a go and tell message.

00:14:38.100 --> 00:14:47.260
 That you and I are to go and to tell, to go and to proclaim, to leave and go into the world

00:14:47.260 --> 00:14:50.500
 where God has placed us in this world.

00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:53.640
 Look at the imagery of where he's sending them to.

00:14:53.900 --> 00:14:57.400
 Go and heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the leopards, cast out demons.

00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:02.020
 He sends them to the most difficult of the difficult that they would find in their times.

00:15:02.020 --> 00:15:09.400
 In fact, he sends them to the group of people that you would avoid if you were religious.

00:15:11.100 --> 00:15:15.920
 But Jesus says, in a relationship with me, these are not the people that you avoid,

00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:19.920
 but that these are the people that you go to.

00:15:22.060 --> 00:15:24.760
 Wouldn't it be a whole lot easier and a whole lot more appealing

00:15:24.760 --> 00:15:28.280
 if Jesus said, hey, listen, go to the best.

00:15:29.080 --> 00:15:30.260
 Go to the most affluent.

00:15:31.020 --> 00:15:32.220
 Go to the easy.

00:15:33.060 --> 00:15:33.960
 Go to the receptive.

00:15:35.340 --> 00:15:38.680
 But Jesus says, go to the diseased.

00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:40.400
 Go to the dying.

00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:42.760
 Go to the despised.

00:15:43.640 --> 00:15:44.420
 Go to the dirty.

00:15:45.780 --> 00:15:49.300
 It's the messengers of where he sends them.

00:15:50.860 --> 00:15:54.100
 You see, folks, gospel work is not easy work.

00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:59.480
 Gospel work is dirty and difficult work.

00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:03.220
 And you and I are called to go.

00:16:03.920 --> 00:16:09.080
 While we may not go to those and heal the sick and raise the dead

00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:11.000
 and cleanse the leper and cast out demons,

00:16:11.940 --> 00:16:15.200
 that you and I are called to go and carry the message of the gospel

00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:19.660
 to those who are diseased by sin, dirty from sin, despised by their sin.

00:16:19.660 --> 00:16:24.020
 And the Bible tells us dead and their trespasses and sins.

00:16:25.260 --> 00:16:34.640
 And that we carry with us the message of the kingdom, the hope of the gospel.

00:16:34.640 --> 00:16:38.740
 Folks, the gospel isn't about making good people better, but about making dead people alive.

00:16:39.800 --> 00:16:42.920
 Not through our power or our means, but by the hope of the gospel.

00:16:43.680 --> 00:16:45.840
 Continue with me in verse 11 through 16.

00:16:47.260 --> 00:16:47.700
 And he says,

00:16:47.760 --> 00:16:53.220
 whatever town or village you enter find out who is worthy in it and stay there until you depart

00:16:53.220 --> 00:16:58.400
 as you enter the house greet it and if the house is worthy let your peace come upon it

00:16:58.400 --> 00:17:04.920
 but if it is not worthy let your peace return to you and if anyone will not receive you or listen

00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:12.140
 to your words shake off the dust from your feet when you leave that house or town truly I say to

00:17:12.140 --> 00:17:17.260
 you be more bearable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah for that town

00:17:17.260 --> 00:17:27.720
 verse 16 behold I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves so be wise as a serpent

00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:35.760
 and innocent as doves look what Jesus says Jesus lays out he's like listen there's gonna be people

00:17:35.760 --> 00:17:41.420
 who hear there's gonna be people who receive there's gonna be people who reject you keep going you keep

00:17:41.420 --> 00:17:47.240
 going you keep moving in fact as it goes through you know the story right be better

00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:52.600
 it would be better for for those more bearable in the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and

00:17:52.600 --> 00:17:59.120
 Gomorrah than for those who reject but Jesus says you're to be sheep in the midst of wolves

00:17:59.120 --> 00:18:05.900
 so be wise as serpent and innocent as doves Jesus not only sends us to the great need

00:18:05.900 --> 00:18:11.280
 but Jesus in full transparency not a bait and switch not a con job

00:18:11.280 --> 00:18:18.540
 Jesus is also says you're going to go to the great danger you're going to go to the great danger

00:18:18.540 --> 00:18:27.640
 folks when we give our yes to God we cannot bring our yes with stipulations

00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:35.400
 when a couple gets married one of the things that I love about the vows that we share

00:18:35.400 --> 00:18:42.140
 in a marriage ceremony are these as you make a commitment to one another as you enter into a

00:18:42.140 --> 00:18:48.620
 covenant relationship between you and the person before the Lord is this to have and to hold from

00:18:48.620 --> 00:18:55.180
 this day forward for better for worse for richer for poor for sickness and in health to love and to

00:18:55.180 --> 00:19:00.520
 cherish until death do us part you're saying my yes is my yes

00:19:00.520 --> 00:19:14.860
 richer or poor sick or or well for better for worse my yes is my yes and even more so in my commitment

00:19:14.860 --> 00:19:22.820
 to the Lord my yes is my yes I don't come to Jesus with saying my yes is my yes as long as my bank

00:19:22.820 --> 00:19:30.140
 account looks good my yes is my yes as long as my health is okay my yes is my yes as long as you take

00:19:30.140 --> 00:19:35.620
 care of my family my yes is my yes as long as there's not tension between me and my wife my yes

00:19:35.620 --> 00:19:42.200
 is my yes as long as my kids are submissive and respectful to me my yes is my yes God as long as you

00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:48.880
 do for me in my ideal world what I think it should look like then God my yes is my yes for you

00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:59.760
 we do not bring our yes with stipulations we bring our yes to our shepherd who says we are his

00:19:59.760 --> 00:20:11.060
 sheep and we go where the shepherd takes us he says we are to be like sheep

00:20:11.060 --> 00:20:16.300
 why does he say we're to be like sheep you know here's the thing about sheep

00:20:16.300 --> 00:20:29.380
 sheep will always go where the shepherd takes them you see in a sheep's mind is not the concept that this field

00:20:29.380 --> 00:20:35.860
 is better than that this is safer than there that this is more beneficial for me than this the sheep just

00:20:35.860 --> 00:20:46.320
 go where the shepherd takes them and Jesus says that he's going to take us into the difficult into the hard

00:20:46.320 --> 00:20:56.620
 and we're to go and to be like the sheep follow the shepherd but in this to be as wise as serpents

00:20:56.620 --> 00:21:04.700
 and innocent as doves there's a combination of what we're seeing that's there now if you know me I'm not

00:21:04.700 --> 00:21:13.760
 crazy about serpent illustrations serpent pictures or being around serpents but the day I don't know if

00:21:13.760 --> 00:21:20.220
 y'all are aware of this it's been hot here lately and so we were up at the lake Clarks Hill Lake Lake Thurman

00:21:20.220 --> 00:21:25.420
 we'd go out and I just hit the point where like I would walk out into the water and stand where the water

00:21:25.420 --> 00:21:29.000
 was covering my shoulders and just kind of stand there and every now and then I would just go

00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:33.660
 and go underwater kind of cool down a little bit and come back up like that's how we're surviving right

00:21:33.660 --> 00:21:39.400
 that's that's where we're at and my mom and dad are camping with us and my mom's kind of out there by me in the

00:21:39.400 --> 00:21:44.920
 water and then Aaron's standing here and Aaron's looking out at the water and I'm facing uh the shoreline

00:21:44.920 --> 00:21:50.540
 right there because we got the dogs that whole whole situation and then my wife says

00:21:50.540 --> 00:21:54.580
 I think I see a snake

00:21:54.580 --> 00:22:04.100
 done late day over right like we're finished we're not going I don't care how hot it is

00:22:04.100 --> 00:22:13.280
 we will endure all right but Jesus says here Jesus says here be as wise as a serpent

00:22:13.280 --> 00:22:21.000
 you see we're called to be sheep who follow and trust the shepherd but we're to take the wisdom of

00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:27.980
 the world I'm sorry the wisdom of the word and to live in the truth that God has for us

00:22:27.980 --> 00:22:33.140
 you see Jesus isn't calling us to be foolish

00:22:33.140 --> 00:22:37.160
 he's calling us to be obedient and with that as he

00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:40.260
 grows us in the wisdom and the truth of the word

00:22:40.260 --> 00:22:43.880
 and then he places us in the world

00:22:43.880 --> 00:22:46.740
 that we're to live in the wisdom that's there

00:22:46.740 --> 00:22:51.340
 and then with that he says and to be

00:22:51.340 --> 00:22:54.060
 as innocent as innocent as a dove

00:22:54.060 --> 00:23:00.780
 so that as we are sheep who follow the shepherd who live in the wisdom of the truth

00:23:00.780 --> 00:23:06.140
 that we are those that are in the culture but not of the culture

00:23:06.140 --> 00:23:11.640
 so that our message of hope that we proclaim

00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:17.120
 the invitation that we give at the core matches

00:23:17.120 --> 00:23:23.220
 that's who we are who we are so I can share the gospel of Christ

00:23:23.220 --> 00:23:28.680
 not because I just know it but I can share the gospel of Christ

00:23:28.680 --> 00:23:32.920
 because I believe it and there's the evidence

00:23:32.920 --> 00:23:37.560
 of that in me let's continue on verse 17 through 20

00:23:37.560 --> 00:23:41.020
 he goes he says beware of men

00:23:41.020 --> 00:23:42.780
 beware of men

00:23:42.780 --> 00:23:46.000
 for they will deliver you over to courts

00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:49.260
 and flog you in their synagogues

00:23:49.260 --> 00:23:53.720
 and you'll be dragged before governors and kings for my sake

00:23:53.720 --> 00:23:57.800
 to bear witness before them and the Gentiles

00:23:57.800 --> 00:24:01.300
 when they deliver you over do not be anxious

00:24:01.300 --> 00:24:03.360
 how you are to speak

00:24:03.360 --> 00:24:05.220
 or what you are to say

00:24:05.220 --> 00:24:08.780
 for what you are to say will be given to you in that hour

00:24:08.780 --> 00:24:11.220
 verse 20 for it is not

00:24:11.220 --> 00:24:12.860
 you who speak

00:24:12.860 --> 00:24:15.300
 but the spirit of your father

00:24:15.300 --> 00:24:16.660
 speaking through you

00:24:16.660 --> 00:24:19.120
 you know there's been the false narratives

00:24:19.120 --> 00:24:20.360
 that have been spoken about Jesus

00:24:20.360 --> 00:24:23.940
 that Jesus was just this great politician

00:24:23.940 --> 00:24:26.800
 and when people say things like that

00:24:26.800 --> 00:24:27.880
 I just kind of want to ask them

00:24:27.880 --> 00:24:29.580
 have you ever read the things that he said

00:24:29.580 --> 00:24:33.540
 like if you want to get elected

00:24:33.540 --> 00:24:38.080
 I don't necessarily know that like

00:24:38.080 --> 00:24:39.660
 hey listen you're going to be arrested

00:24:39.660 --> 00:24:42.080
 and you're going to be beaten

00:24:42.080 --> 00:24:44.660
 if you do what I tell you to do

00:24:44.660 --> 00:24:47.100
 if you obey me

00:24:47.100 --> 00:24:49.340
 there's going to be this difficulty

00:24:49.340 --> 00:24:50.460
 that you're going to go through

00:24:50.460 --> 00:24:53.680
 and so Jesus comes out

00:24:53.680 --> 00:24:54.300
 and he says listen

00:24:54.300 --> 00:24:56.020
 like be mindful

00:24:56.020 --> 00:24:56.960
 like beware

00:24:56.960 --> 00:24:58.780
 like there are people out there

00:24:58.780 --> 00:24:59.920
 who are actively

00:24:59.920 --> 00:25:02.260
 like spiritual warfare is real

00:25:02.260 --> 00:25:07.180
 spiritual warfare is real

00:25:07.180 --> 00:25:10.140
 and there are demons at work

00:25:10.140 --> 00:25:11.980
 and people who are at work

00:25:11.980 --> 00:25:13.600
 that hate God

00:25:13.600 --> 00:25:15.820
 they hate the truth of the gospel

00:25:15.820 --> 00:25:17.580
 and they want to destroy you

00:25:17.580 --> 00:25:19.140
 that's not just in first century

00:25:19.140 --> 00:25:20.420
 it's today as well

00:25:20.420 --> 00:25:23.400
 and Jesus says

00:25:23.400 --> 00:25:24.360
 beware

00:25:24.360 --> 00:25:25.960
 beware

00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:27.160
 because this is what will happen

00:25:27.160 --> 00:25:29.120
 you're doing the right thing

00:25:29.120 --> 00:25:31.400
 this is what will take place

00:25:31.400 --> 00:25:33.000
 do not be anxious

00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:36.240
 do not be anxious

00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:39.600
 when you have to stand

00:25:39.600 --> 00:25:41.340
 to give an account

00:25:41.340 --> 00:25:42.780
 and give a testimony

00:25:42.780 --> 00:25:46.980
 do not be anxious

00:25:46.980 --> 00:25:50.040
 when we give our yes to God

00:25:50.040 --> 00:25:52.660
 when we give our yes to God

00:25:52.660 --> 00:25:56.360
 we have to be dependent on God

00:25:56.360 --> 00:26:00.880
 we have to be dependent on God

00:26:00.880 --> 00:26:02.320
 God says in this moment

00:26:02.320 --> 00:26:03.120
 beware

00:26:03.120 --> 00:26:04.260
 do not be anxious

00:26:04.260 --> 00:26:05.740
 because here's what's going to happen

00:26:05.740 --> 00:26:07.500
 and here's what's going to take place

00:26:07.500 --> 00:26:09.960
 for it is not you who will speak

00:26:09.960 --> 00:26:12.240
 but the spirit of your father

00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:14.400
 speaking through you

00:26:14.400 --> 00:26:19.220
 the spirit of your father

00:26:19.220 --> 00:26:21.780
 speaking through you

00:26:21.780 --> 00:26:23.360
 be aware of the situation

00:26:23.360 --> 00:26:25.920
 be dependent on God

00:26:25.920 --> 00:26:28.220
 folks here's what I have found

00:26:28.220 --> 00:26:29.100
 in my life

00:26:29.100 --> 00:26:32.760
 and in the life of so many people

00:26:32.760 --> 00:26:34.480
 who struggle with

00:26:34.480 --> 00:26:35.960
 being dependent on God

00:26:35.960 --> 00:26:38.680
 here's where the conflict rubs

00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:41.940
 when everything in our life

00:26:41.940 --> 00:26:45.440
 is going okay to great

00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:49.920
 we get a little cocky

00:26:49.920 --> 00:26:52.440
 we get a little loose

00:26:52.440 --> 00:26:55.040
 we get a little bit dependent

00:26:55.040 --> 00:26:55.860
 on ourselves

00:26:55.860 --> 00:26:57.820
 we begin to think

00:26:57.820 --> 00:26:59.400
 that I'm the reason for this

00:26:59.400 --> 00:27:02.040
 that I'm the source of my success

00:27:02.040 --> 00:27:05.420
 we begin to feel within ourselves

00:27:05.420 --> 00:27:06.900
 we would never say it

00:27:06.900 --> 00:27:12.100
 but we sit on the throne

00:27:12.100 --> 00:27:14.920
 of the idolatry of our hearts

00:27:14.920 --> 00:27:17.960
 look at what I am capable

00:27:17.960 --> 00:27:19.520
 of achieving

00:27:19.520 --> 00:27:21.040
 and doing

00:27:21.040 --> 00:27:22.520
 in my life

00:27:22.520 --> 00:27:24.440
 and then

00:27:24.440 --> 00:27:27.220
 then we begin to hit

00:27:27.220 --> 00:27:28.700
 a bottom

00:27:28.700 --> 00:27:31.200
 we begin to hit a lull

00:27:31.200 --> 00:27:33.700
 and this concept

00:27:33.700 --> 00:27:35.780
 of being dependent

00:27:35.780 --> 00:27:37.880
 dependent on God

00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:40.460
 when we've been dependent

00:27:40.460 --> 00:27:41.940
 on ourself

00:27:41.940 --> 00:27:43.160
 in our mind

00:27:43.160 --> 00:27:44.340
 for everything

00:27:44.340 --> 00:27:46.520
 in our life

00:27:46.520 --> 00:27:48.680
 seems foreign

00:27:48.680 --> 00:27:50.160
 and impossible

00:27:50.160 --> 00:27:52.080
 because the weak God

00:27:52.080 --> 00:27:53.080
 of our heart

00:27:53.080 --> 00:27:54.400
 our idol

00:27:54.400 --> 00:27:55.480
 ourselves

00:27:55.480 --> 00:27:56.980
 has failed us

00:27:56.980 --> 00:27:58.560
 folks

00:27:58.560 --> 00:27:59.880
 dependency

00:27:59.880 --> 00:28:01.560
 on the Lord

00:28:01.560 --> 00:28:03.060
 is a daily

00:28:03.060 --> 00:28:04.040
 commitment

00:28:04.040 --> 00:28:04.040
 commitment

00:28:04.040 --> 00:28:05.720
 not a moment

00:28:05.720 --> 00:28:06.480
 by moment

00:28:06.480 --> 00:28:07.120
 adjustment

00:28:07.120 --> 00:28:09.600
 I will praise you

00:28:09.600 --> 00:28:10.360
 in the valley

00:28:10.360 --> 00:28:11.900
 and on the mountaintop

00:28:11.900 --> 00:28:13.880
 that I'm dependent

00:28:13.880 --> 00:28:14.560
 on you

00:28:14.560 --> 00:28:15.840
 and in sickness

00:28:15.840 --> 00:28:17.160
 and in health

00:28:17.160 --> 00:28:19.360
 that I'm engaged

00:28:19.360 --> 00:28:19.760
 with you

00:28:19.760 --> 00:28:21.160
 that I'm abiding

00:28:21.160 --> 00:28:22.500
 in Christ

00:28:22.500 --> 00:28:24.220
 no matter

00:28:24.220 --> 00:28:24.220
 no matter

00:28:24.220 --> 00:28:24.720
 what

00:28:24.720 --> 00:28:25.820
 the circumstance

00:28:25.820 --> 00:28:27.300
 don't wait

00:28:27.300 --> 00:28:27.840
 for things

00:28:27.840 --> 00:28:28.460
 to be tough

00:28:28.460 --> 00:28:28.880
 to start

00:28:28.880 --> 00:28:29.960
 depending on God

00:28:29.960 --> 00:28:31.940
 make that choice

00:28:31.940 --> 00:28:33.020
 today

00:28:33.020 --> 00:28:34.040
 and then

00:28:34.040 --> 00:28:36.200
 don't listen

00:28:36.200 --> 00:28:37.020
 to the devil

00:28:37.020 --> 00:28:37.960
 when your timeline

00:28:37.960 --> 00:28:38.760
 falls short

00:28:38.760 --> 00:28:41.080
 be

00:28:41.080 --> 00:28:42.280
 dependent

00:28:42.280 --> 00:28:43.380
 on God

00:28:43.380 --> 00:28:43.980
 let's keep

00:28:43.980 --> 00:28:44.300
 going

00:28:44.300 --> 00:28:46.260
 verse 21

00:28:46.260 --> 00:28:49.560
 brother

00:28:49.560 --> 00:28:50.180
 will deliver

00:28:50.180 --> 00:28:50.580
 brother

00:28:50.580 --> 00:28:51.560
 over to death

00:28:51.560 --> 00:28:53.180
 and the father

00:28:53.180 --> 00:28:53.860
 his child

00:28:53.860 --> 00:28:55.420
 and children

00:28:55.420 --> 00:28:55.920
 will rise

00:28:55.920 --> 00:28:56.620
 against parents

00:28:56.620 --> 00:28:57.040
 and have them

00:28:57.040 --> 00:28:57.720
 put to death

00:28:57.720 --> 00:28:59.240
 and you'll be

00:28:59.240 --> 00:29:00.020
 hated by all

00:29:00.020 --> 00:29:01.000
 for my name's sake

00:29:01.000 --> 00:29:02.900
 and I want you

00:29:02.900 --> 00:29:03.720
 to underline this

00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:04.480
 if you're an underliner

00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:05.040
 in your Bible

00:29:05.040 --> 00:29:05.440
 I want you to

00:29:05.440 --> 00:29:06.000
 underline this

00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:06.640
 next part

00:29:06.640 --> 00:29:08.880
 but the one

00:29:08.880 --> 00:29:09.860
 who endures

00:29:09.860 --> 00:29:10.600
 to the end

00:29:10.600 --> 00:29:11.340
 will be saved

00:29:11.340 --> 00:29:13.320
 when they

00:29:13.320 --> 00:29:14.280
 persecute you

00:29:14.280 --> 00:29:15.080
 in one town

00:29:15.080 --> 00:29:16.100
 flee to the next

00:29:16.100 --> 00:29:16.540
 for truly

00:29:16.540 --> 00:29:17.380
 I say to you

00:29:17.380 --> 00:29:18.140
 you will not

00:29:18.140 --> 00:29:18.520
 have gone

00:29:18.520 --> 00:29:19.040
 through all

00:29:19.040 --> 00:29:19.520
 the towns

00:29:19.520 --> 00:29:20.080
 of Israel

00:29:20.080 --> 00:29:20.800
 before the

00:29:20.800 --> 00:29:21.320
 son of man

00:29:21.320 --> 00:29:21.760
 comes

00:29:21.760 --> 00:29:22.780
 a disciple

00:29:22.780 --> 00:29:23.160
 is not

00:29:23.160 --> 00:29:23.740
 above his

00:29:23.740 --> 00:29:24.120
 teacher

00:29:24.120 --> 00:29:25.060
 nor a servant

00:29:25.060 --> 00:29:25.660
 above his

00:29:25.660 --> 00:29:26.100
 master

00:29:26.100 --> 00:29:27.580
 it is enough

00:29:27.580 --> 00:29:28.340
 for the disciple

00:29:28.340 --> 00:29:29.160
 to be like his

00:29:29.160 --> 00:29:29.440
 teacher

00:29:29.440 --> 00:29:30.280
 and the servant

00:29:30.280 --> 00:29:31.040
 like his

00:29:31.040 --> 00:29:31.420
 master

00:29:31.420 --> 00:29:31.900
 if they have

00:29:31.900 --> 00:29:32.420
 called the

00:29:32.420 --> 00:29:32.720
 master

00:29:32.720 --> 00:29:33.260
 of the house

00:29:33.260 --> 00:29:33.880
 Beelzebub

00:29:33.880 --> 00:29:34.760
 how much more

00:29:34.760 --> 00:29:35.060
 will they

00:29:35.060 --> 00:29:35.860
 malign those

00:29:35.860 --> 00:29:36.520
 of his

00:29:36.520 --> 00:29:37.040
 household

00:29:37.040 --> 00:29:38.840
 but the one

00:29:38.840 --> 00:29:40.080
 who endures

00:29:40.080 --> 00:29:41.300
 to the end

00:29:41.300 --> 00:29:43.500
 will be saved

00:29:43.500 --> 00:29:45.640
 folks we have

00:29:45.640 --> 00:29:46.140
 to be ready

00:29:46.140 --> 00:29:46.680
 to endure

00:29:46.680 --> 00:29:48.500
 we have

00:29:48.500 --> 00:29:49.160
 to be ready

00:29:49.160 --> 00:29:50.940
 to endure

00:29:50.940 --> 00:29:52.860
 the kingdom

00:29:52.860 --> 00:29:53.740
 of God

00:29:53.740 --> 00:29:55.720
 will face

00:29:55.720 --> 00:29:57.480
 its own

00:29:57.480 --> 00:29:57.980
 troubles

00:29:57.980 --> 00:30:00.620
 and then

00:30:00.620 --> 00:30:01.160
 those

00:30:01.160 --> 00:30:02.140
 imposters

00:30:02.140 --> 00:30:04.040
 who proclaim

00:30:04.040 --> 00:30:04.600
 to be

00:30:04.600 --> 00:30:05.160
 a part

00:30:05.160 --> 00:30:07.160
 will even

00:30:07.160 --> 00:30:08.160
 find in their

00:30:08.160 --> 00:30:09.360
 false faith

00:30:09.360 --> 00:30:12.040
 divisiveness

00:30:12.040 --> 00:30:12.520
 which is

00:30:12.520 --> 00:30:12.820
 there

00:30:12.820 --> 00:30:14.160
 Jesus

00:30:14.160 --> 00:30:14.660
 says you

00:30:14.660 --> 00:30:14.940
 will be

00:30:14.940 --> 00:30:15.280
 hated

00:30:15.280 --> 00:30:16.900
 you

00:30:16.900 --> 00:30:17.220
 will be

00:30:17.220 --> 00:30:17.840
 persecuted

00:30:17.840 --> 00:30:20.120
 but endure

00:30:20.120 --> 00:30:22.200
 and to endure

00:30:22.200 --> 00:30:23.680
 is to be

00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:24.460
 like Christ

00:30:24.460 --> 00:30:26.640
 and to endure

00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:27.680
 like Christ

00:30:27.680 --> 00:30:28.720
 is to

00:30:28.720 --> 00:30:29.500
 abide

00:30:29.500 --> 00:30:30.400
 in

00:30:30.400 --> 00:30:31.280
 Christ

00:30:31.280 --> 00:30:32.560
 we

00:30:32.560 --> 00:30:32.560
 we

00:30:32.560 --> 00:30:32.680
 don't

00:30:32.680 --> 00:30:33.060
 abide

00:30:33.060 --> 00:30:33.200
 in

00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:33.340
 one

00:30:33.340 --> 00:30:33.700
 another

00:30:33.700 --> 00:30:35.060
 we

00:30:35.060 --> 00:30:35.240
 don't

00:30:35.240 --> 00:30:35.740
 abide

00:30:35.740 --> 00:30:35.900
 in

00:30:35.900 --> 00:30:36.080
 our

00:30:36.080 --> 00:30:36.820
 context

00:30:36.820 --> 00:30:37.920
 we

00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:38.120
 don't

00:30:38.120 --> 00:30:38.500
 abide

00:30:38.500 --> 00:30:38.720
 in

00:30:38.720 --> 00:30:38.840
 our

00:30:38.840 --> 00:30:39.500
 situations

00:30:39.500 --> 00:30:40.760
 we

00:30:40.760 --> 00:30:40.960
 don't

00:30:40.960 --> 00:30:41.420
 abide

00:30:41.420 --> 00:30:41.580
 in

00:30:41.580 --> 00:30:41.720
 our

00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:42.160
 mind

00:30:42.160 --> 00:30:42.560
 frame

00:30:42.560 --> 00:30:43.860
 we

00:30:43.860 --> 00:30:44.560
 abide

00:30:44.560 --> 00:30:45.200
 in

00:30:45.200 --> 00:30:46.100
 Christ

00:30:46.100 --> 00:30:48.040
 I did

00:30:48.040 --> 00:30:48.240
 a little

00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:48.780
 word study

00:30:48.780 --> 00:30:49.300
 this week

00:30:49.300 --> 00:30:49.640
 and wanted

00:30:49.640 --> 00:30:50.080
 to

00:30:50.080 --> 00:30:50.740
 understand

00:30:50.740 --> 00:30:51.200
 this

00:30:51.200 --> 00:30:51.780
 word

00:30:51.780 --> 00:30:52.540
 endure

00:30:52.540 --> 00:30:53.740
 and

00:30:53.740 --> 00:30:53.920
 this

00:30:53.920 --> 00:30:54.320
 word

00:30:54.320 --> 00:30:54.940
 endure

00:30:54.940 --> 00:30:56.040
 it's

00:30:56.040 --> 00:30:58.060
 a word

00:30:58.060 --> 00:30:58.420
 that's

00:30:58.420 --> 00:30:58.740
 used

00:30:58.740 --> 00:30:58.980
 that

00:30:58.980 --> 00:30:59.500
 defines

00:30:59.500 --> 00:30:59.840
 more

00:30:59.840 --> 00:31:00.000
 than

00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:00.140
 I

00:31:00.140 --> 00:31:00.260
 think

00:31:00.260 --> 00:31:00.420
 what

00:31:00.420 --> 00:31:00.660
 you

00:31:00.660 --> 00:31:00.800
 and

00:31:00.800 --> 00:31:01.000
 I

00:31:01.000 --> 00:31:01.300
 think

00:31:01.300 --> 00:31:01.560
 of

00:31:01.560 --> 00:31:01.800
 in

00:31:01.800 --> 00:31:02.240
 enduring

00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:03.780
 for

00:31:03.780 --> 00:31:04.320
 me

00:31:04.320 --> 00:31:04.580
 when I

00:31:04.580 --> 00:31:04.740
 think

00:31:04.740 --> 00:31:04.860
 of

00:31:04.860 --> 00:31:05.320
 enduring

00:31:05.320 --> 00:31:06.000
 it's

00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:06.160
 a

00:31:06.160 --> 00:31:07.300
 one

00:31:07.300 --> 00:31:08.280
 man

00:31:08.280 --> 00:31:09.100
 journey

00:31:09.100 --> 00:31:09.440
 and

00:31:09.440 --> 00:31:10.180
 task

00:31:10.180 --> 00:31:10.900
 to

 when I

00:31:13.420 --> 00:31:13.680
 think

00:31:13.680 --> 00:31:13.840
 of

00:31:18.560 --> 00:31:18.900
 word

00:31:18.900 --> 00:31:19.240
 means

00:31:19.240 --> 00:31:19.600
 more

00:31:19.600 --> 00:31:19.780
 than

00:31:19.780 --> 00:31:20.020
 that

00:31:20.020 --> 00:31:21.140
 this

 it

00:31:23.760 --> 00:31:24.100
 a

00:31:24.420 --> 00:31:24.760

00:31:35.800 --> 00:31:36.400
 endures

00:31:36.400 --> 00:31:36.760
 when

00:31:50.840 --> 00:31:51.420
 happens

00:31:51.420 --> 00:31:51.740

00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:52.720
 crumbles

00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:53.460
 and falls

 I'm

00:38:08.920 --> 00:38:09.540
 loving it

 and there's

00:38:14.380 --> 00:38:15.060
 a song

00:38:15.060 --> 00:38:16.580
 that begins

00:38:16.580 --> 00:38:17.080
 to play

00:38:17.080 --> 00:38:18.920
 now somewhere

00:38:21.000 --> 00:38:22.480
 I'm losing

00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:22.740
 it

00:38:22.740 --> 00:38:24.220
 I'm losing

00:38:24.220 --> 00:38:24.440
 it

00:38:24.440 --> 00:38:25.520
 I'm crying

00:38:25.520 --> 00:38:25.980
 I'll tell you

00:38:25.980 --> 00:38:26.600
 the song

00:38:26.600 --> 00:38:27.640
 it's Alan

00:38:27.640 --> 00:38:28.200
 Jackson

00:38:28.200 --> 00:38:29.620
 it's that

00:38:29.620 --> 00:38:29.820
 song

00:38:29.820 --> 00:38:30.320
 Drive

00:38:30.320 --> 00:38:33.080
 my kids

00:38:33.080 --> 00:38:33.560
 loved that

00:38:33.560 --> 00:38:33.940
 song when

00:38:33.940 --> 00:38:34.160
 they were

00:38:34.160 --> 00:38:34.500
 little

00:38:34.500 --> 00:38:35.400
 my daughter

00:38:35.400 --> 00:38:36.020
 especially

00:38:36.020 --> 00:38:37.180
 loved it

00:38:37.180 --> 00:38:38.520
 and I'm

00:38:38.520 --> 00:38:39.140
 sitting there

00:38:39.140 --> 00:38:39.600
 and I'm

00:38:39.600 --> 00:38:40.560
 just boohooing

00:38:40.560 --> 00:38:41.560
 just me

00:38:41.560 --> 00:38:41.780
 in the

00:38:41.780 --> 00:38:42.100
 truck

00:38:42.100 --> 00:38:43.140
 and no

00:38:43.140 --> 00:38:43.620
 one around

00:38:43.620 --> 00:38:44.020
 to be able

00:38:44.020 --> 00:38:44.420
 to see

00:38:44.420 --> 00:38:44.780
 me

00:38:44.780 --> 00:38:45.160
 in this

00:38:45.160 --> 00:38:45.600
 embarrassing

00:38:45.600 --> 00:38:46.060
 moment

00:38:46.060 --> 00:38:46.880
 as I'm

00:38:46.880 --> 00:38:47.200
 crying

00:38:47.200 --> 00:38:48.580
 and got

00:38:48.580 --> 00:38:48.860
 done

00:38:48.860 --> 00:38:49.220
 and I

00:38:49.220 --> 00:38:49.780
 thought about

00:38:49.780 --> 00:38:50.520
 how much

00:38:50.520 --> 00:38:50.760
 I love

00:38:50.760 --> 00:38:51.220
 my kids

00:38:51.220 --> 00:38:52.940
 and my

00:38:52.940 --> 00:38:53.320
 kids

00:38:53.320 --> 00:38:53.800
 man

00:38:53.800 --> 00:38:55.160
 they're in

00:38:55.160 --> 00:38:55.960
 that stage

00:38:55.960 --> 00:38:56.540
 of life

00:38:56.540 --> 00:38:57.080
 now right

00:38:57.080 --> 00:38:57.380
 like

00:38:57.380 --> 00:38:58.200
 they're my

00:38:58.200 --> 00:38:58.700
 kids

00:38:58.700 --> 00:38:59.720
 and I'm

00:38:59.720 --> 00:39:00.340
 so proud

00:39:00.340 --> 00:39:00.620
 of them

00:39:00.620 --> 00:39:01.040
 that they're

00:39:01.040 --> 00:39:02.360
 we're walking

00:39:02.360 --> 00:39:02.980
 through together

00:39:02.980 --> 00:39:03.440
 what this

00:39:03.440 --> 00:39:03.980
 looks like

00:39:03.980 --> 00:39:04.440
 to make

00:39:04.440 --> 00:39:05.600
 adult

00:39:05.600 --> 00:39:06.200
 decisions

00:39:06.200 --> 00:39:08.220
 and they're

00:39:08.220 --> 00:39:08.960
 taking ownership

00:39:08.960 --> 00:39:09.820
 and responsibility

00:39:09.820 --> 00:39:10.680
 and when

00:39:10.680 --> 00:39:11.080
 they make

00:39:11.080 --> 00:39:11.600
 mistakes

00:39:11.600 --> 00:39:11.840
 they're

00:39:11.840 --> 00:39:12.180
 learning

00:39:12.180 --> 00:39:12.620
 from them

00:39:12.620 --> 00:39:13.160
 and so

00:39:13.160 --> 00:39:13.420
 we're just

00:39:13.420 --> 00:39:13.880
 having to

00:39:13.880 --> 00:39:14.340
 kind of

00:39:14.340 --> 00:39:14.740
 resort

00:39:14.740 --> 00:39:15.800
 and walk

00:39:15.800 --> 00:39:16.180
 through

00:39:16.180 --> 00:39:17.200
 all that

00:39:17.200 --> 00:39:17.780
 that looks

00:39:17.780 --> 00:39:18.120
 like

00:39:18.120 --> 00:39:18.400
 right

00:39:18.400 --> 00:39:20.200
 well

00:39:20.200 --> 00:39:20.900
 this is

00:39:20.900 --> 00:39:21.200
 just all

00:39:21.200 --> 00:39:21.360
 that's

00:39:21.360 --> 00:39:21.500
 going

00:39:21.500 --> 00:39:21.840
 through my

00:39:21.840 --> 00:39:22.140
 mind

00:39:22.140 --> 00:39:23.280
 now

00:39:23.280 --> 00:39:23.620
 earlier

00:39:23.620 --> 00:39:23.900
 I was

00:39:23.900 --> 00:39:24.140
 watching

00:39:24.140 --> 00:39:24.520
 a movie

00:39:24.520 --> 00:39:25.060
 in our

00:39:25.060 --> 00:39:25.440
 camper

00:39:25.440 --> 00:39:27.080
 and the

00:39:27.080 --> 00:39:27.620
 dad

00:39:27.620 --> 00:39:29.040
 his daughter

00:39:29.040 --> 00:39:29.540
 is getting

00:39:29.540 --> 00:39:30.020
 married

00:39:30.020 --> 00:39:31.540
 and he

00:39:31.540 --> 00:39:32.240
 says

00:39:32.240 --> 00:39:34.160
 to the

00:39:34.160 --> 00:39:34.660
 groom

00:39:34.660 --> 00:39:35.240
 the only

00:39:35.240 --> 00:39:35.600
 thing

00:39:35.600 --> 00:39:35.960
 that I

00:39:35.960 --> 00:39:36.580
 could ask

00:39:36.580 --> 00:39:37.000
 of you

00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:39.120
 is

00:39:39.120 --> 00:39:39.520
 above

00:39:39.520 --> 00:39:40.340
 all

00:39:43.360 --> 00:39:44.240
 more

00:39:44.240 --> 00:39:44.460

00:40:30.140 --> 00:40:30.440
 you got a

00:40:30.440 --> 00:40:30.940
 spouse

00:40:30.940 --> 00:40:32.160
 you need

00:40:32.160 --> 00:40:32.400
 to love

00:40:35.580 --> 00:40:35.760
 what's

00:40:35.760 --> 00:40:36.280
 remarkable

00:40:36.280 --> 00:40:38.240
 when I

00:40:38.240 --> 00:40:38.540
 love

00:40:38.540 --> 00:40:38.880
 something

00:40:38.880 --> 00:40:39.360
 of this

00:40:39.360 --> 00:40:39.960
 world

00:40:39.960 --> 00:40:41.820
 you know

00:40:41.820 --> 00:40:42.040
 what it

00:40:42.040 --> 00:40:42.520
 does

00:40:42.520 --> 00:40:43.520
 it

00:40:43.520 --> 00:40:44.440
 lessens

00:40:44.440 --> 00:40:45.060
 the more

00:40:45.060 --> 00:40:45.400
 that I

00:40:45.400 --> 00:40:45.700
 love

00:40:45.700 --> 00:40:46.060
 this

00:40:46.060 --> 00:40:46.640
 thing

00:40:46.640 --> 00:40:47.120
 it

00:40:47.120 --> 00:40:47.440
 begins

00:40:47.440 --> 00:40:48.120
 to rob

00:40:48.120 --> 00:40:48.820
 the love

00:40:48.820 --> 00:40:49.360
 that I

00:40:49.360 --> 00:40:49.660
 have

00:40:49.660 --> 00:40:50.120
 for other

00:40:50.120 --> 00:40:50.560
 people

00:40:50.560 --> 00:40:51.200
 and other

00:40:51.200 --> 00:40:51.560
 things

00:40:51.560 --> 00:40:51.860
 in this

00:40:51.860 --> 00:40:52.160
 world

00:40:52.160 --> 00:40:54.260
 the more

00:40:54.260 --> 00:40:54.560
 that I

00:40:54.560 --> 00:40:55.120
 build up

00:40:55.120 --> 00:40:55.800
 my idols

00:40:55.800 --> 00:40:56.500
 and love

00:40:56.500 --> 00:40:56.880
 them

00:40:56.880 --> 00:40:58.360
 the more

00:40:58.360 --> 00:40:58.660
 that it

00:40:58.660 --> 00:40:59.320
 robs

00:40:59.320 --> 00:41:00.260
 the love

00:41:00.260 --> 00:41:00.720
 that God's

00:41:00.720 --> 00:41:01.300
 calling me

00:41:01.300 --> 00:41:01.540
 to give

00:41:01.540 --> 00:41:02.560
 but here's

00:41:02.560 --> 00:41:03.960
 the miracle

00:41:03.960 --> 00:41:04.940
 working of

00:41:04.940 --> 00:41:05.620
 our God

00:41:05.620 --> 00:41:06.520
 the more

00:41:06.520 --> 00:41:06.940
 I love

00:41:06.940 --> 00:41:07.500

00:41:07.500 --> 00:41:09.220
 the more

00:41:09.220 --> 00:41:09.860
 that Jesus

00:41:09.860 --> 00:41:10.740
 is and I

00:41:10.740 --> 00:41:10.980
 say this

00:41:10.980 --> 00:41:11.760
 don't put him

00:41:11.760 --> 00:41:12.360
 on a list

00:41:12.360 --> 00:41:13.460
 because he's

00:41:13.460 --> 00:41:14.040
 greater than

00:41:14.040 --> 00:41:14.500
 your list

00:41:14.500 --> 00:41:14.940
 or mine

 the more

00:41:18.880 --> 00:41:19.740
 I love

 the more

00:41:21.920 --> 00:41:22.160
 I love

00:41:22.160 --> 00:41:22.660
 my wife

00:41:22.660 --> 00:41:24.260
 the more

00:41:24.260 --> 00:41:24.600
 I love

00:41:24.600 --> 00:41:25.140

00:41:25.140 --> 00:41:25.720
 the more

 my kids

 the more

00:41:27.020 --> 00:41:27.340
 I love

00:41:27.340 --> 00:41:27.800
 Jesus

00:41:27.800 --> 00:41:28.360
 the more

00:41:28.360 --> 00:41:28.720
 I love

00:41:28.720 --> 00:41:28.940
 you

00:41:28.940 --> 00:41:29.860
 the more

00:41:29.860 --> 00:41:30.140
 I love

00:41:30.140 --> 00:41:30.440
 Jesus

00:41:30.440 --> 00:41:30.780
 the more

00:41:30.780 --> 00:41:31.060
 I love

00:41:31.060 --> 00:41:31.700
 myself

00:41:31.700 --> 00:41:33.280
 you say

00:41:33.280 --> 00:41:33.540
 you gotta

00:41:33.540 --> 00:41:33.960
 begin with

00:41:33.960 --> 00:41:34.240
 yourself

00:41:34.240 --> 00:41:34.540
 you gotta

00:41:34.540 --> 00:41:34.800
 love

00:41:34.800 --> 00:41:35.140
 yourself

00:41:35.140 --> 00:41:35.700
 no no

00:41:35.700 --> 00:41:35.880
 no

00:41:35.880 --> 00:41:36.160
 you gotta

00:41:36.160 --> 00:41:36.360
 love

00:41:36.360 --> 00:41:36.780
 Jesus

00:41:36.780 --> 00:41:39.780
 and that's

00:41:39.780 --> 00:41:40.540
 how

00:41:40.540 --> 00:41:41.520
 he

00:41:41.520 --> 00:41:42.820
 works

00:41:42.820 --> 00:41:43.780
 this isn't

00:41:43.780 --> 00:41:44.600
 a call

00:41:44.600 --> 00:41:46.100
 to deny

00:41:46.100 --> 00:41:46.800
 your family

00:41:46.800 --> 00:41:48.240
 this is a

00:41:48.240 --> 00:41:48.720
 call

00:41:48.720 --> 00:41:49.780
 to love

00:41:49.780 --> 00:41:50.860
 Jesus

00:41:50.860 --> 00:41:52.600
 confess him

00:41:52.600 --> 00:41:52.880
 with your

00:41:52.880 --> 00:41:53.200
 life

00:41:53.200 --> 00:41:54.140
 love him

00:41:54.140 --> 00:41:54.900
 above all

00:41:54.900 --> 00:41:58.520
 and whoever

00:41:58.520 --> 00:41:59.240
 does not

00:41:59.240 --> 00:42:00.660
 take his

00:42:00.660 --> 00:42:01.260
 cross

00:42:01.260 --> 00:42:02.800
 and follow

00:42:02.800 --> 00:42:03.120
 me

00:42:03.120 --> 00:42:04.160
 is not

00:42:04.160 --> 00:42:04.820
 worthy of

00:42:04.820 --> 00:42:05.380
 me

00:42:05.380 --> 00:42:07.400
 trust him

00:42:07.400 --> 00:42:08.240
 with

00:42:08.240 --> 00:42:08.680
 everything

00:42:08.680 --> 00:42:11.080
 trust him

00:42:11.080 --> 00:42:12.360
 with

00:42:12.360 --> 00:42:12.780
 everything

00:42:12.780 --> 00:42:14.360
 that's

00:42:14.360 --> 00:42:14.660
 public

00:42:14.660 --> 00:42:15.000
 faith

00:42:15.000 --> 00:42:16.700
 we'll

00:42:16.700 --> 00:42:17.020
 close with

00:42:17.020 --> 00:42:17.160
 this

00:42:17.160 --> 00:42:17.660
 verse 40

00:42:17.660 --> 00:42:18.180
 and 42

00:42:18.180 --> 00:42:19.460

00:42:19.460 --> 00:42:19.940
 42

00:42:19.940 --> 00:42:22.120
 whoever

00:42:22.120 --> 00:42:22.980
 receives

00:42:22.980 --> 00:42:23.200
 you

00:42:23.200 --> 00:42:23.720
 receives

00:42:23.720 --> 00:42:24.140
 me

00:42:24.140 --> 00:42:25.900
 and whoever

00:42:25.900 --> 00:42:26.660
 receives

00:42:26.660 --> 00:42:27.800
 me

00:42:27.800 --> 00:42:28.440
 receives

00:42:28.440 --> 00:42:28.700
 him

00:42:28.700 --> 00:42:29.140
 who sent

00:42:29.140 --> 00:42:29.380
 me

00:42:29.380 --> 00:42:30.720
 the one

00:42:30.720 --> 00:42:30.840
 who

00:42:30.840 --> 00:42:31.260
 receives

00:42:31.260 --> 00:42:31.760
 a prophet

00:42:31.760 --> 00:42:32.220
 because he's

00:42:32.220 --> 00:42:32.700
 a prophet

00:42:32.700 --> 00:42:33.280
 will receive

00:42:33.280 --> 00:42:33.900
 a prophet's

00:42:33.900 --> 00:42:34.340
 reward

00:42:34.340 --> 00:42:35.900
 and the one

00:42:35.900 --> 00:42:36.620
 who receives

00:42:36.620 --> 00:42:37.160
 a righteous

00:42:37.160 --> 00:42:37.720
 person

00:42:37.720 --> 00:42:39.180
 because he

00:42:39.180 --> 00:42:39.620
 is a righteous

00:42:39.620 --> 00:42:40.040
 person

00:42:40.040 --> 00:42:40.460
 will receive

00:42:40.460 --> 00:42:40.840
 a righteous

00:42:40.840 --> 00:42:41.340
 person's

00:42:41.340 --> 00:42:41.720
 award

00:42:41.720 --> 00:42:43.000
 whoever

00:42:43.000 --> 00:42:43.660

00:42:43.660 --> 00:42:44.840
 one of

00:42:44.840 --> 00:42:44.980
 these

00:42:44.980 --> 00:42:45.220
 little

00:42:45.220 --> 00:42:45.600
 ones

00:42:45.600 --> 00:42:46.880
 even a

00:42:50.180 --> 00:42:50.440
 water

00:42:50.440 --> 00:42:51.500
 because he

00:42:51.500 --> 00:42:51.800
 is my

00:42:51.800 --> 00:42:52.200
 disciple

00:42:52.200 --> 00:42:53.680
 truly I

00:42:53.680 --> 00:42:53.940
 say to

00:42:53.940 --> 00:42:54.160
 you

00:42:54.160 --> 00:42:55.700
 he will

00:42:55.700 --> 00:42:56.060
 by no

00:42:56.060 --> 00:42:56.440
 means

00:42:56.440 --> 00:42:57.560
 lose

00:42:57.560 --> 00:42:57.720
 his

00:42:57.720 --> 00:42:58.080
 reward

00:42:58.080 --> 00:42:59.720
 folks

00:42:59.720 --> 00:42:59.980
 we laid

00:42:59.980 --> 00:43:00.260
 out some

00:43:00.260 --> 00:43:00.560
 tough

00:43:00.560 --> 00:43:01.020
 things

00:43:01.020 --> 00:43:02.340
 that Jesus

00:43:02.340 --> 00:43:02.960
 points us

00:43:02.960 --> 00:43:03.240
 to

00:43:03.240 --> 00:43:04.580
 of what

00:43:04.580 --> 00:43:05.140
 giving our

00:43:05.140 --> 00:43:05.640
 yes to

00:43:05.640 --> 00:43:06.080
 him looks

00:43:06.080 --> 00:43:06.400
 like

00:43:06.400 --> 00:43:08.200
 but then

00:43:08.200 --> 00:43:08.460
 in the

00:43:08.460 --> 00:43:08.760
 end

00:43:08.760 --> 00:43:10.100
 what he

00:43:10.100 --> 00:43:10.580
 points us

00:43:10.580 --> 00:43:10.840
 to

00:43:10.840 --> 00:43:12.360
 is that

00:43:12.360 --> 00:43:12.560
 he's

00:43:12.560 --> 00:43:12.760
 worth

00:43:12.760 --> 00:43:12.980
 it

00:43:12.980 --> 00:43:14.560
 he's

00:43:14.560 --> 00:43:14.740
 worth

00:43:14.740 --> 00:43:14.960
 it

00:43:14.960 --> 00:43:16.480
 I'm

00:43:16.480 --> 00:43:16.580
 going to

00:43:16.580 --> 00:43:16.880
 ask the

00:43:16.880 --> 00:43:17.320
 praise team

00:43:17.320 --> 00:43:17.680
 if they'll

00:43:17.680 --> 00:43:18.280
 make their

00:43:18.280 --> 00:43:18.740
 way up onto

00:43:18.740 --> 00:43:19.340
 the stage

00:43:19.340 --> 00:43:19.600
 if our

00:43:19.600 --> 00:43:19.780
 prayer

00:43:19.780 --> 00:43:20.320
 encouragers

00:43:20.320 --> 00:43:21.200
 will move

00:43:21.200 --> 00:43:22.020
 to either

00:43:22.020 --> 00:43:22.340
 side of

00:43:22.340 --> 00:43:22.440
 our

00:43:22.440 --> 00:43:22.920
 auditorium

00:43:22.920 --> 00:43:23.160
 as we

00:43:23.160 --> 00:43:23.520
 close in

00:43:23.520 --> 00:43:23.900
 our message

00:43:23.900 --> 00:43:24.120
 this

00:43:24.120 --> 00:43:24.360
 morning

00:43:24.360 --> 00:43:27.280
 he's

00:43:27.280 --> 00:43:27.460
 worth

00:43:27.460 --> 00:43:27.720
 it

00:43:27.720 --> 00:43:29.580
 because

00:43:29.580 --> 00:43:29.900
 Jesus

00:43:29.900 --> 00:43:30.300
 is our

00:43:30.300 --> 00:43:30.600
 world

00:43:30.600 --> 00:43:32.480
 Jesus

00:43:32.480 --> 00:43:33.240
 is

00:43:33.240 --> 00:43:34.420
 our

00:43:34.420 --> 00:43:35.440
 reward

00:43:35.440 --> 00:43:36.980
 you see

00:43:36.980 --> 00:43:37.340
 when we

00:43:37.340 --> 00:43:37.940
 begin to

00:43:37.940 --> 00:43:38.200
 be

00:43:38.200 --> 00:43:39.760
 when we

00:43:39.760 --> 00:43:40.340
 start out

00:43:40.340 --> 00:43:40.740
 with our

00:43:40.740 --> 00:43:41.340
 yes

00:43:41.340 --> 00:43:43.660
 to God

00:43:43.660 --> 00:43:45.200
 but we

00:43:45.200 --> 00:43:45.920
 set our

00:43:45.920 --> 00:43:46.720
 reward

00:43:46.720 --> 00:43:47.400
 here

00:43:47.400 --> 00:43:49.380
 what begins

00:43:49.380 --> 00:43:50.140
 to happen

00:43:50.140 --> 00:43:51.200
 is we

00:43:51.200 --> 00:43:51.840
 begin to

00:43:51.840 --> 00:43:52.360
 see

00:43:52.360 --> 00:43:53.360
 that this

00:43:53.360 --> 00:43:53.980
 world

00:43:53.980 --> 00:43:54.980
 is not

00:43:54.980 --> 00:43:55.280
 our

00:43:55.280 --> 00:43:55.820
 reward

00:43:55.820 --> 00:43:58.340
 and within

00:43:58.340 --> 00:43:58.820
 that for

00:43:58.820 --> 00:43:59.460
 those who

00:43:59.460 --> 00:43:59.980
 will not

00:43:59.980 --> 00:44:00.640
 endure

00:44:00.640 --> 00:44:02.340
 we begin

00:44:02.340 --> 00:44:02.920
 to think

00:44:02.920 --> 00:44:03.340
 and buy

00:44:03.340 --> 00:44:03.720
 into the

00:44:03.720 --> 00:44:04.220
 belief

00:44:04.220 --> 00:44:05.520
 that the

00:44:05.520 --> 00:44:05.980
 temporary

00:44:05.980 --> 00:44:06.860
 things

00:44:06.860 --> 00:44:07.660
 of this

00:44:07.660 --> 00:44:08.180
 world

00:44:08.180 --> 00:44:09.160
 are what

00:44:09.160 --> 00:44:09.860
 makes this

00:44:09.860 --> 00:44:10.260
 life

00:44:10.260 --> 00:44:11.100
 worth it

00:44:11.100 --> 00:44:12.700
 but it's

00:44:12.700 --> 00:44:13.240
 not

00:44:13.240 --> 00:44:14.480
 because

00:44:14.480 --> 00:44:15.140
 Jesus

00:44:15.140 --> 00:44:16.420
 is our

00:44:16.420 --> 00:44:17.300
 reward

00:44:17.300 --> 00:44:21.860
 in 1st

00:44:21.860 --> 00:44:22.200
 Timothy

00:44:22.200 --> 00:44:23.600
 I'm sorry

00:44:23.600 --> 00:44:24.040
 in 2nd

00:44:24.040 --> 00:44:24.300
 Timothy

00:44:24.300 --> 00:44:25.040
 chapter 4

00:44:25.040 --> 00:44:27.380
 the apostle

00:44:27.380 --> 00:44:27.940
 Paul

00:44:27.940 --> 00:44:28.900
 is writing

00:44:28.900 --> 00:44:29.320
 this to

00:44:29.320 --> 00:44:29.640
 Timothy

00:44:29.640 --> 00:44:31.100
 his son

00:44:31.100 --> 00:44:31.340
 in the

00:44:31.340 --> 00:44:31.680
 faith

00:44:31.680 --> 00:44:33.580
 Paul

00:44:33.580 --> 00:44:33.860
 is

00:44:33.860 --> 00:44:34.560
 imprisoned

00:44:34.560 --> 00:44:36.560
 waiting

00:44:36.560 --> 00:44:37.080
 a death

00:44:37.080 --> 00:44:37.560
 sentence

00:44:37.560 --> 00:44:40.280
 and this

00:44:40.280 --> 00:44:40.560
 is what

00:44:40.560 --> 00:44:41.080
 he writes

00:44:41.080 --> 00:44:44.780
 for I'm

00:44:44.780 --> 00:44:45.480
 already being

00:44:45.480 --> 00:44:46.200
 poured out

00:44:46.200 --> 00:44:47.780
 as a drink

00:44:47.780 --> 00:44:48.220
 offering

00:44:48.220 --> 00:44:50.300
 and the

00:44:50.300 --> 00:44:51.220
 time of my

00:44:51.220 --> 00:44:51.700
 departure

00:44:51.700 --> 00:44:53.280
 has come

00:44:53.280 --> 00:44:55.400
 I have

00:44:55.400 --> 00:44:55.820
 fought the

00:44:55.820 --> 00:44:56.520
 good fight

00:44:56.520 --> 00:44:58.540
 I have

00:44:58.540 --> 00:44:59.020
 finished

00:44:59.020 --> 00:45:00.000
 the race

00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:01.880
 I have

00:45:01.880 --> 00:45:02.420
 kept the

00:45:02.420 --> 00:45:02.840
 faith

00:45:02.840 --> 00:45:05.240
 henceforth

00:45:05.240 --> 00:45:05.660
 there is

00:45:05.660 --> 00:45:06.160
 laid up

00:45:06.160 --> 00:45:06.580
 for me

00:45:06.580 --> 00:45:07.960
 the crown

00:45:07.960 --> 00:45:08.760
 of righteousness

00:45:08.760 --> 00:45:10.860
 which the

00:45:10.860 --> 00:45:11.280
 Lord

00:45:11.280 --> 00:45:11.980
 the righteous

00:45:11.980 --> 00:45:12.760
 judge

00:45:12.760 --> 00:45:14.500
 will award

00:45:14.500 --> 00:45:15.040
 to me

00:45:15.040 --> 00:45:15.640
 on that

00:45:15.640 --> 00:45:15.980
 day

00:45:15.980 --> 00:45:17.500
 and not

00:45:17.500 --> 00:45:18.000
 only to

00:45:18.000 --> 00:45:18.340
 me

00:45:18.340 --> 00:45:20.000
 but also

00:45:20.000 --> 00:45:20.740
 to all

00:45:20.740 --> 00:45:22.160
 who have

00:45:22.160 --> 00:45:22.880
 loved

00:45:22.880 --> 00:45:24.220
 his

00:45:24.220 --> 00:45:25.620
 appearing

00:45:25.620 --> 00:45:28.320
 imprisoned

00:45:28.320 --> 00:45:30.700
 in waiting

00:45:30.700 --> 00:45:31.180
 death

00:45:31.180 --> 00:45:33.840
 doesn't sound

00:45:33.840 --> 00:45:34.300
 like a man

00:45:34.300 --> 00:45:34.720
 defeated

00:45:34.720 --> 00:45:37.440
 doesn't sound

00:45:37.440 --> 00:45:38.060
 like a man

00:45:38.060 --> 00:45:38.540
 who has given

00:45:38.540 --> 00:45:39.060
 up hope

00:45:39.060 --> 00:45:42.220
 it sounds

00:45:42.220 --> 00:45:42.820
 like a man

00:45:42.820 --> 00:45:43.280
 who is about

00:45:43.280 --> 00:45:43.580
 to meet

00:45:43.580 --> 00:45:44.100
 Jesus

00:45:44.100 --> 00:45:46.560
 folks

00:45:46.560 --> 00:45:48.560
 this life

00:45:48.560 --> 00:45:50.060
 is but

00:45:50.060 --> 00:45:50.360
 for a

00:45:50.360 --> 00:45:50.640
 moment

00:45:50.640 --> 00:45:52.840
 live it

00:45:52.840 --> 00:45:53.420
 for Jesus

00:45:53.420 --> 00:45:56.260
 and in

00:45:56.260 --> 00:45:56.980
 death

00:45:56.980 --> 00:45:58.880
 in death

00:45:58.880 --> 00:46:00.660
 the worst

00:46:00.660 --> 00:46:01.460
 thing that we

00:46:01.460 --> 00:46:01.960
 could think

00:46:01.960 --> 00:46:02.640
 of in this

00:46:02.640 --> 00:46:02.940
 world

00:46:02.940 --> 00:46:04.780
 in death

00:46:04.780 --> 00:46:06.260
 for those

00:46:06.260 --> 00:46:06.780
 of us

00:46:06.780 --> 00:46:07.660
 who have

00:46:07.660 --> 00:46:07.940
 put our

00:46:07.940 --> 00:46:08.360
 faith

00:46:08.360 --> 00:46:09.440
 and hope

00:46:09.440 --> 00:46:10.480
 in Christ

00:46:10.480 --> 00:46:12.140
 our reward

00:46:12.140 --> 00:46:12.860
 is not

00:46:12.860 --> 00:46:13.680
 taken from

00:46:13.680 --> 00:46:14.080
 us

00:46:14.080 --> 00:46:16.460
 but instead

00:46:16.460 --> 00:46:18.500
 becomes

00:46:18.500 --> 00:46:19.980
 the reality

00:46:19.980 --> 00:46:21.160
 given

00:46:21.160 --> 00:46:22.560
 to us

00:46:22.560 --> 00:46:24.720
 give

00:46:24.720 --> 00:46:26.520
 your yes

00:46:26.520 --> 00:46:28.080
 to Jesus

00:46:28.080 --> 00:46:29.460
 he's worth

00:46:29.460 --> 00:46:29.860
 it

00:46:29.860 --> 00:46:30.700
 would you

00:46:30.700 --> 00:46:31.000
 pray with

00:46:31.000 --> 00:46:31.560
 me

00:46:31.560 --> 00:46:34.080
 God

00:46:34.080 --> 00:46:34.500
 thank you

00:46:34.500 --> 00:46:34.920
 for your

00:46:34.920 --> 00:46:35.460
 abundant

00:46:35.460 --> 00:46:36.120
 love

00:46:36.120 --> 00:46:37.800
 Lord

00:46:37.800 --> 00:46:38.540
 your kindness

00:46:38.540 --> 00:46:39.060
 and your

00:46:39.060 --> 00:46:39.580
 compassion

00:46:39.580 --> 00:46:45.320
 God I pray

00:46:45.320 --> 00:46:45.520
 that we

00:46:45.520 --> 00:46:45.820
 would give

00:46:45.820 --> 00:46:46.300
 our yes

00:46:46.300 --> 00:46:46.840
 to you

00:46:46.840 --> 00:46:49.300
 our yes

00:46:49.300 --> 00:46:49.800
 to go

00:46:49.800 --> 00:46:50.240
 where you

00:46:50.240 --> 00:46:51.120
 sinned

00:46:51.120 --> 00:46:53.420
 our yes

00:46:53.420 --> 00:46:54.160
 to endure

00:46:54.160 --> 00:46:54.820
 not through

00:46:54.820 --> 00:46:55.760
 our power

00:46:55.760 --> 00:46:56.460
 and means

00:46:56.460 --> 00:46:58.160
 but through

00:46:58.160 --> 00:46:58.540
 the power

00:46:58.540 --> 00:46:58.780
 of your

00:46:58.780 --> 00:46:59.240
 spirit

00:46:59.240 --> 00:47:02.340
 to carry

00:47:02.340 --> 00:47:03.040
 our cross

00:47:03.040 --> 00:47:03.660
 and proclaim

00:47:03.660 --> 00:47:04.320
 your gospel

00:47:04.320 --> 00:47:08.040
 and this

00:47:08.040 --> 00:47:08.540
 world

00:47:08.540 --> 00:47:08.940
 may try

00:47:08.940 --> 00:47:09.400
 to strip

00:47:09.400 --> 00:47:09.880
 everything

00:47:09.880 --> 00:47:10.140
 away

00:47:10.140 --> 00:47:10.700
 from us

00:47:10.700 --> 00:47:13.060
 but it

00:47:13.060 --> 00:47:13.600
 cannot

00:47:13.600 --> 00:47:15.980
 it cannot

00:47:15.980 --> 00:47:18.360
 take you

00:47:18.360 --> 00:47:18.760
 away

00:47:18.760 --> 00:47:22.360
 and God

00:47:22.360 --> 00:47:23.000
 may that

00:47:23.000 --> 00:47:25.760
 may Christ

00:47:25.760 --> 00:47:27.180
 be

00:47:27.180 --> 00:47:28.720
 enough

00:47:28.720 --> 00:47:38.980
 Jesus

00:47:38.980 --> 00:47:42.540
 may we
