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 --> 00:00:27.800
 We hope that you enjoy this week's installment,

00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:30.880
 and be sure to check back next week to hear the latest message.

00:00:31.180 --> 00:00:32.080
 Thanks for listening.

00:00:46.100 --> 00:00:47.060
 Well, good morning.

00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:51.520
 If you've got your Bibles, open them up to 1 Corinthians chapter 16

00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:54.700
 is where we are going to be.

00:00:54.700 --> 00:00:58.860
 I woke up this morning, and it was 31 degrees outside.

00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:03.580
 But being from Augusta, it doesn't matter that it's 31 degrees outside.

00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:06.160
 It is springtime, and the Masters is happening.

00:01:06.580 --> 00:01:07.580
 So I was committed.

00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:10.220
 I don't know if y'all have noticed this, but every year,

00:01:10.580 --> 00:01:13.640
 the Sunday before the Masters, I wear a Masters shirt.

00:01:13.740 --> 00:01:16.800
 And then the Sunday of the Masters, I wear a Masters shirt.

00:01:16.900 --> 00:01:20.900
 And it reminded me this year that I need to get a long-sleeve Masters shirt

00:01:20.900 --> 00:01:22.040
 in case it's like this again.

00:01:22.220 --> 00:01:26.240
 I pulled up this morning, and Rodney was out there getting everything ready for us this morning.

00:01:26.340 --> 00:01:27.460
 He goes, I looked at you, and I thought,

00:01:27.600 --> 00:01:30.300
 there's no way Bo's wearing a short-sleeved shirt this morning.

00:01:30.460 --> 00:01:32.380
 It's below freezing outside, but I did.

00:01:32.580 --> 00:01:34.220
 So I do want to throw this out there to you, all right?

00:01:34.260 --> 00:01:35.240
 Just by the way,

00:01:35.740 --> 00:01:41.560
 if all of a sudden, by chance, you get a ticket to the Masters today,

00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:45.700
 and you don't need it, and you don't want it,

00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:48.860
 I will take that burden away from you, all right?

00:01:49.260 --> 00:01:51.020
 The Bible tells us to share each other's burdens.

00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:52.300
 I will take that on.

00:01:52.540 --> 00:01:53.860
 I'll have that for you.

00:01:54.020 --> 00:01:57.160
 I'll go there and get me a pimento cheese sandwich and be just fine.

00:01:57.260 --> 00:01:58.700
 But we'll be good.

00:01:58.900 --> 00:02:01.060
 I'll watch the rest of it at the house today.

00:02:01.860 --> 00:02:04.320
 So excited as we're wrapping up this series,

00:02:04.600 --> 00:02:05.900
 and I say wrap up this series.

00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:07.700
 We're going to be in 16 this week.

00:02:07.940 --> 00:02:11.600
 Next week for Easter, we're going to jump back into 15, all right?

00:02:11.740 --> 00:02:14.200
 We're going to jump back, and we left out some parts last week

00:02:14.200 --> 00:02:16.580
 about the resurrection that we're going to talk about,

00:02:16.820 --> 00:02:19.360
 and we're really excited with next Sunday to be in Easter,

00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:22.700
 to go through that together as a church

00:02:22.700 --> 00:02:27.420
 to celebrate the fact that the Savior, Jesus Christ, He is alive.

00:02:27.420 --> 00:02:30.380
 Now, next week, we do have a little bit different schedule.

00:02:30.780 --> 00:02:33.080
 8 a.m., we'll have an outdoor worship.

00:02:33.480 --> 00:02:34.920
 9 a.m., breakfast.

00:02:35.160 --> 00:02:37.440
 We met with the team this week that's going to be doing

00:02:37.440 --> 00:02:39.100
 and thinking about this breakfast,

00:02:39.340 --> 00:02:42.020
 and we're excited about what that's going to be like for us

00:02:42.020 --> 00:02:45.360
 just to come together as a body, as a church family,

00:02:45.820 --> 00:02:47.720
 celebrate and worship together,

00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:50.260
 but also just celebrate and fellowship together

00:02:50.260 --> 00:02:52.000
 that Jesus is alive,

00:02:52.140 --> 00:02:54.940
 and then we'll have the 10 o'clock worship in here.

00:02:54.940 --> 00:02:57.900
 And we'd love for you in that flow of your day

00:02:57.900 --> 00:02:59.740
 of whatever that's going to look like for you,

00:03:00.060 --> 00:03:02.660
 to be a part of one of those services with us,

00:03:02.740 --> 00:03:05.500
 to invite someone, bring someone with you.

00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:09.080
 Maybe that's looking for a place to worship on that Sunday morning

00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:10.960
 and to be able to be a part of that.

00:03:11.160 --> 00:03:12.340
 Hey, just a quick reminder,

00:03:12.540 --> 00:03:16.720
 we will not have our normal Sunday evening programming tonight

00:03:16.720 --> 00:03:19.360
 or next Sunday because of spring break,

00:03:19.420 --> 00:03:21.420
 so I just want to remind you of that.

00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:24.580
 So as we get into chapter 16,

00:03:24.580 --> 00:03:26.520
 and I don't know, I think most of you,

00:03:26.620 --> 00:03:27.520
 especially if you're in groups,

00:03:27.720 --> 00:03:31.680
 like you know this and you're walking through this with us in your studies,

00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:34.080
 but right now media kind of said,

00:03:34.180 --> 00:03:38.060
 hey, here's how we're going to study it each week together in groups.

00:03:38.160 --> 00:03:42.380
 And so what I had the responsibility of doing is each week

00:03:42.380 --> 00:03:47.680
 is looking at a section of Scripture kind of predetermined for me

00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:51.620
 and then going through, leaning in on the Holy Spirit to teach me

00:03:51.620 --> 00:03:53.700
 and instruct my heart what we're here to go.

00:03:53.900 --> 00:03:54.960
 And I want to be honest with you,

00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:57.920
 as we were turning toward this chapter,

00:03:58.220 --> 00:03:59.980
 I've read this chapter before,

00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:01.220
 and it's like, all right, Lord,

00:04:01.460 --> 00:04:03.920
 like it's a tendency sometimes in us

00:04:03.920 --> 00:04:05.900
 as we get to the end of these letters

00:04:05.900 --> 00:04:07.540
 to kind of see conclusion.

00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:11.360
 And a lot of time what Paul does in these last chapters

00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:12.660
 in his conclusions is like,

00:04:12.880 --> 00:04:14.680
 hey, let me give you some very specific details

00:04:15.300 --> 00:04:18.500
 that are specifically speaking to some people

00:04:18.500 --> 00:04:22.380
 that it's hard for us to kind of draw from in this.

00:04:22.980 --> 00:04:26.080
 And so this week, as I kind of know that in my mind

00:04:26.080 --> 00:04:27.640
 and diving down through there,

00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:30.320
 and what was absolutely wonderfully amazing

00:04:30.320 --> 00:04:32.320
 is what God just showed.

00:04:32.460 --> 00:04:34.300
 And so as God taught me this week,

00:04:34.340 --> 00:04:36.260
 it is my prayer and my heart

00:04:36.260 --> 00:04:39.040
 for what God's going to teach you this morning

00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:40.980
 as we walk through this together

00:04:40.980 --> 00:04:43.300
 because chapter 16 has some really good stuff.

00:04:43.300 --> 00:04:44.680
 And so we're going to read some verses

00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:45.700
 and skip to some others

00:04:45.700 --> 00:04:47.640
 and kind of work our way through here.

00:04:47.740 --> 00:04:49.840
 So let's start off in verse one,

00:04:49.900 --> 00:04:51.100
 read verses one through three.

00:04:52.300 --> 00:04:53.940
 Paul writes to the church at Corinth

00:04:53.940 --> 00:04:54.880
 and says,

00:04:55.020 --> 00:04:57.100
 now concerning the collection for the saints,

00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:00.760
 as I directed the churches of Galatia,

00:05:01.540 --> 00:05:03.480
 so you also are to do.

00:05:04.540 --> 00:05:07.020
 On the first day of every week,

00:05:07.380 --> 00:05:09.320
 each of you is to put something aside

00:05:09.320 --> 00:05:12.160
 and store it up as he may prosper

00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:15.500
 so that there will be no collecting when I come.

00:05:16.540 --> 00:05:17.740
 And when I arrive,

00:05:17.960 --> 00:05:20.600
 I will send those whom you accredit by letter

00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:24.480
 to carry your gift to Jerusalem.

00:05:24.700 --> 00:05:27.020
 So let's pause here for just a second.

00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:30.360
 Now, three times in this letter in 1 Corinthians,

00:05:30.540 --> 00:05:33.440
 we see this two word phrase now concerning.

00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:35.220
 And when we see that,

00:05:35.300 --> 00:05:37.160
 what Paul is going to do

00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:39.040
 is answer a question

00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:40.860
 that has been given to them

00:05:40.860 --> 00:05:42.200
 by the church at Corinth.

00:05:42.320 --> 00:05:44.120
 And so if this is your first Sunday here,

00:05:44.320 --> 00:05:46.720
 I'm gonna take you all the way back to January, all right?

00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:50.020
 So Paul gets report from a church at Corinth

00:05:50.020 --> 00:05:54.040
 that he's been a part of in leadership and planning,

00:05:54.440 --> 00:05:55.780
 and that there's some issues

00:05:55.780 --> 00:05:57.020
 and some problems that are there.

00:05:57.280 --> 00:05:58.760
 Some people come to him and say,

00:05:59.200 --> 00:06:00.360
 this is what's taking place,

00:06:00.500 --> 00:06:03.160
 but then he's also been getting letters from them.

00:06:03.380 --> 00:06:04.560
 And while this is written

00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:07.000
 as 1 Corinthians in our scripture,

00:06:07.180 --> 00:06:09.640
 we believe that this is actually the second letter

00:06:09.640 --> 00:06:11.240
 that Paul has written

00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:13.620
 and that Paul in total writes three.

00:06:14.100 --> 00:06:15.500
 And so this is one of those

00:06:15.500 --> 00:06:18.540
 where we hear this from Paul now concerning,

00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:20.960
 so he's going to answer a question

00:06:20.960 --> 00:06:22.460
 that they've posed to him.

00:06:22.860 --> 00:06:25.380
 So they know that there's this collection,

00:06:25.580 --> 00:06:27.120
 they know that there's this offering,

00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:28.520
 but they're looking at him

00:06:28.520 --> 00:06:30.760
 and what are they supposed to do with it?

00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:32.960
 We'll just kind of give you a little bit of background.

00:06:33.400 --> 00:06:36.300
 This offering is for the church at Jerusalem

00:06:36.300 --> 00:06:38.000
 who has got a problem

00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:40.200
 that they need help taking care of.

00:06:40.200 --> 00:06:43.260
 And the problem, and I use that word problem,

00:06:43.460 --> 00:06:47.260
 not that they're upset that they have to work through this,

00:06:47.380 --> 00:06:49.020
 but it's become a crisis for them

00:06:49.020 --> 00:06:52.620
 and that there's such a need for money

00:06:52.620 --> 00:06:53.900
 at the church of Jerusalem

00:06:53.900 --> 00:06:56.340
 because there's a high percentage

00:06:56.340 --> 00:06:57.800
 of the people who were there

00:06:57.800 --> 00:06:59.060
 who were in poverty.

00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:02.160
 And so the church is trying to rise above

00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:05.020
 and push through and be a light

00:07:05.020 --> 00:07:07.720
 to care for those who find themselves

00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:08.880
 in this situation.

00:07:09.280 --> 00:07:11.140
 And so what Paul has done

00:07:11.140 --> 00:07:13.700
 is he's reached out to other churches

00:07:13.700 --> 00:07:15.240
 and said, no, no, no,

00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:18.480
 let's make sure that we walk alongside them with this.

00:07:19.260 --> 00:07:22.780
 That this is not a church at Jerusalem problem,

00:07:22.780 --> 00:07:25.140
 but this is a church problem

00:07:25.140 --> 00:07:28.980
 that we're all going to step in and take care of.

00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:30.440
 And so we see from here

00:07:30.440 --> 00:07:32.920
 that he's addressed it to the church at Galatia,

00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:36.580
 which you'll see is the Galatians letter that he writes,

00:07:36.580 --> 00:07:38.700
 and also to the church at Corinth

00:07:38.700 --> 00:07:41.020
 and possibly even other churches.

00:07:41.420 --> 00:07:44.040
 So why are we focusing on this this morning?

00:07:44.940 --> 00:07:46.900
 Why is this for us today

00:07:46.900 --> 00:07:50.020
 more than just an instruction from Paul

00:07:50.020 --> 00:07:51.960
 of what they're to do

00:07:51.960 --> 00:07:55.700
 with part or sum of their offering?

00:07:56.500 --> 00:07:58.740
 And I believe that these instructions

00:07:58.740 --> 00:08:00.720
 are important to us today.

00:08:01.200 --> 00:08:05.120
 So very important for us as a church today

00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:08.720
 and also important for us as the church today.

00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:11.680
 It's an important message for every church,

00:08:11.840 --> 00:08:14.640
 every congregation all over the world,

00:08:14.640 --> 00:08:16.320
 because what it reminds us of

00:08:16.320 --> 00:08:17.760
 and what it points us to

00:08:17.760 --> 00:08:18.960
 is what I want to refer to

00:08:18.960 --> 00:08:21.100
 as gospel-centered partnerships.

00:08:22.400 --> 00:08:24.060
 That we as the church

00:08:24.060 --> 00:08:27.760
 are called not to live our lives isolated.

00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:29.860
 And we've been talking a lot about that, right?

00:08:29.900 --> 00:08:32.220
 Like we can't isolate ourself from the world.

00:08:32.380 --> 00:08:33.580
 We're to be missionaries

00:08:33.580 --> 00:08:34.820
 and lights into the world.

00:08:34.940 --> 00:08:37.080
 But then also for us as a body

00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:38.640
 that we're not to just say,

00:08:38.640 --> 00:08:40.320
 well, it's Willow Ridge

00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:41.940
 and it's Willow Ridge alone.

00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:45.860
 We can't live in an isolated mindset

00:08:45.860 --> 00:08:47.080
 of just thinking about

00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:48.940
 we have to take care of

00:08:48.940 --> 00:08:51.080
 what happens in these walls

00:08:51.080 --> 00:08:54.160
 and who cares what happens to anyone else.

00:08:54.620 --> 00:08:56.760
 And instead what we work to,

00:08:56.920 --> 00:08:58.340
 what we move toward,

00:08:58.500 --> 00:09:00.040
 what we begin to pray for

00:09:00.040 --> 00:09:01.860
 is for God to open the doors

00:09:01.860 --> 00:09:04.620
 for gospel-centered partnerships.

00:09:04.940 --> 00:09:06.600
 Now, Paul's dealt with

00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:08.820
 the importance of unity in this church.

00:09:09.640 --> 00:09:11.340
 That's what he began to start it off

00:09:11.340 --> 00:09:12.560
 at the very beginning of this letter.

00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:14.120
 He said, there's some of you

00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:15.220
 who say, I follow Paul.

00:09:15.660 --> 00:09:16.480
 There's some of you who say,

00:09:16.540 --> 00:09:17.620
 I follow Cephas,

00:09:17.740 --> 00:09:19.180
 I follow Apollos,

00:09:19.220 --> 00:09:20.780
 or I follow Jesus.

00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:22.400
 And he pointed them to

00:09:22.400 --> 00:09:24.440
 the importance of the unity

00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:25.700
 amongst the body,

00:09:25.760 --> 00:09:26.800
 that we are a family.

00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:28.700
 And we're going to get to that

00:09:28.700 --> 00:09:29.960
 in a minute.

00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:31.880
 But also,

00:09:32.680 --> 00:09:35.180
 the importance of the unity,

00:09:35.780 --> 00:09:38.420
 not just of the local church,

00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:40.980
 individual churches to have their unity,

00:09:41.580 --> 00:09:43.560
 but that we as a church

00:09:43.560 --> 00:09:46.120
 have that unity mindset.

00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:48.420
 That we're all understand

00:09:48.420 --> 00:09:49.820
 that we're working

00:09:49.820 --> 00:09:51.440
 for the good of the kingdom.

00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:54.980
 That a win for Radius

00:09:54.980 --> 00:09:56.880
 is a win for Willow Ridge

00:09:56.880 --> 00:09:57.720
 because it's a win

00:09:57.720 --> 00:09:59.640
 for the community of God,

00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:00.720
 the kingdom of God.

00:10:01.680 --> 00:10:03.240
 That a win for First Prez

00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:05.800
 is a win for Willow Ridge,

00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:07.620
 even though we're different denominations,

00:10:07.780 --> 00:10:08.620
 because it's a win

00:10:08.620 --> 00:10:09.820
 for the kingdom of God.

00:10:10.420 --> 00:10:11.580
 And that we have to have

00:10:11.580 --> 00:10:12.420
 that mindset.

00:10:13.620 --> 00:10:13.780
 Right?

00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:15.420
 In just a little while,

00:10:16.060 --> 00:10:17.260
 I'll go home

00:10:17.260 --> 00:10:19.120
 and I'll cut on golf.

00:10:20.180 --> 00:10:21.460
 And you know what those golfers

00:10:21.460 --> 00:10:22.200
 aren't doing

00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:23.720
 as they line up

00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:24.760
 to hit their golf ball?

00:10:25.700 --> 00:10:26.780
 They're not saying,

00:10:27.460 --> 00:10:28.560
 man, I hope that other guy

00:10:28.560 --> 00:10:29.720
 hits it better than me.

00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:30.380
 You know?

00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:32.600
 There's a sense of competition

00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:33.400
 that's there

00:10:33.400 --> 00:10:34.460
 and that's good

00:10:34.460 --> 00:10:35.640
 and that's fun.

00:10:36.680 --> 00:10:38.360
 But when it comes to the church,

00:10:39.160 --> 00:10:41.120
 we're all working to the same goal.

00:10:42.020 --> 00:10:44.020
 We're brothers and sisters in Christ.

00:10:45.020 --> 00:10:47.900
 I heard a pastor say one time,

00:10:48.860 --> 00:10:50.280
 and he was talking to a,

00:10:50.500 --> 00:10:51.740
 it was a large church

00:10:51.740 --> 00:10:53.700
 and I was there and listening

00:10:53.700 --> 00:10:55.340
 and he said this.

00:10:55.400 --> 00:10:55.700
 He said,

00:10:56.060 --> 00:10:58.000
 if you think it's just going to be us

00:10:58.000 --> 00:10:58.620
 in heaven,

00:10:58.980 --> 00:10:59.640
 heaven's going to be

00:10:59.640 --> 00:11:00.520
 a major disappointment.

00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:01.420
 Right?

00:11:02.660 --> 00:11:04.380
 To think outside of that.

00:11:05.220 --> 00:11:06.160
 And that's what Paul

00:11:06.160 --> 00:11:07.620
 is pointing them to.

00:11:08.500 --> 00:11:10.020
 Now as far as our local body,

00:11:10.660 --> 00:11:10.900
 right?

00:11:11.180 --> 00:11:13.200
 It's important that we care for,

00:11:13.580 --> 00:11:14.860
 that we commit to,

00:11:15.020 --> 00:11:16.860
 that we're a part of this together

00:11:16.860 --> 00:11:18.560
 as an individual family,

00:11:18.560 --> 00:11:20.820
 but also that we support,

00:11:21.060 --> 00:11:22.020
 love and care for

00:11:22.020 --> 00:11:23.780
 and partner with others as well.

00:11:24.500 --> 00:11:25.660
 And that's our heart

00:11:25.660 --> 00:11:27.180
 and that's what we want to see

00:11:27.180 --> 00:11:28.260
 to be your heart as well.

00:11:28.800 --> 00:11:30.340
 That we rally for,

00:11:30.500 --> 00:11:31.780
 we support to,

00:11:31.980 --> 00:11:33.420
 we point people toward

00:11:33.420 --> 00:11:35.300
 even other congregations

00:11:35.300 --> 00:11:36.720
 because it's what God has.

00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:38.780
 And I think the beauty

00:11:38.780 --> 00:11:41.760
 of what God provides us in churches

00:11:41.760 --> 00:11:43.660
 is the difference in churches.

00:11:44.640 --> 00:11:44.780
 Right?

00:11:45.100 --> 00:11:47.760
 If you walk into Lexington Baptist

00:11:47.760 --> 00:11:48.720
 right down the road

00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:51.320
 and you walk into Willow Ridge

00:11:51.320 --> 00:11:53.860
 and you walk into New Spring,

00:11:54.560 --> 00:11:55.920
 I bet you're going to see

00:11:55.920 --> 00:11:56.940
 three different things

00:11:56.940 --> 00:11:57.960
 happening in front of you,

00:11:58.300 --> 00:12:00.220
 but all worshiping the same Jesus.

00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:01.000
 Right?

00:12:01.520 --> 00:12:02.760
 And that's the importance

00:12:02.760 --> 00:12:04.420
 of what we begin to see

00:12:04.420 --> 00:12:06.220
 and what we begin to understand.

00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:09.040
 It's always the reminder for me

00:12:09.040 --> 00:12:12.000
 that Willow Ridge Church is here

00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:14.380
 because Red Bank Baptist Church

00:12:14.380 --> 00:12:15.460
 believed in partnerships.

00:12:16.460 --> 00:12:18.400
 The church that I pass every morning

00:12:18.400 --> 00:12:20.080
 on my way here,

00:12:20.580 --> 00:12:22.920
 just a few miles right down the road,

00:12:23.620 --> 00:12:26.420
 believed enough in gospel partnerships

00:12:26.420 --> 00:12:28.880
 that in the 1970s,

00:12:28.940 --> 00:12:29.500
 they said,

00:12:29.880 --> 00:12:31.600
 let's plant Agape Baptist Church

00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:34.760
 that would become Willow Ridge Church.

00:12:35.620 --> 00:12:36.460
 And it's what we've wanted

00:12:36.460 --> 00:12:38.020
 to continue on and push forward.

00:12:38.920 --> 00:12:39.660
 And in that,

00:12:39.820 --> 00:12:41.640
 we feel like we as a congregation,

00:12:42.360 --> 00:12:43.300
 we as leaders,

00:12:43.800 --> 00:12:45.180
 we as a body together

00:12:45.180 --> 00:12:46.900
 have responded well with that.

00:12:47.740 --> 00:12:49.980
 A few weeks or months ago

00:12:49.980 --> 00:12:53.860
 when the war in Ukraine broke out,

00:12:54.400 --> 00:12:56.700
 instantly we heard of brothers

00:12:56.700 --> 00:12:57.980
 and sisters in Christ

00:12:57.980 --> 00:13:01.060
 in Ukraine who were having to flee.

00:13:01.860 --> 00:13:03.000
 And we heard of brothers

00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:04.560
 and sisters in Christ in Europe

00:13:04.560 --> 00:13:06.200
 who were receiving them.

00:13:07.220 --> 00:13:08.700
 And God opened up an opportunity

00:13:08.700 --> 00:13:10.340
 for us through one of our church members

00:13:10.340 --> 00:13:12.640
 to partner with the church in Moldova

00:13:12.640 --> 00:13:14.180
 to care for them.

00:13:14.880 --> 00:13:16.900
 And you guys responded to that

00:13:16.900 --> 00:13:19.320
 graciously through that.

00:13:20.260 --> 00:13:22.580
 Coming up in the next couple weeks,

00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:24.740
 we will contribute our portion

00:13:24.740 --> 00:13:27.780
 of the Annie Armstrong Easter offering

00:13:27.780 --> 00:13:28.760
 as a part of being

00:13:28.760 --> 00:13:30.780
 a South Carolina Baptist church

00:13:30.780 --> 00:13:32.120
 on top of what we give

00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:33.180
 to a cooperative giving.

00:13:33.180 --> 00:13:34.560
 We'll give that as well.

00:13:34.760 --> 00:13:36.920
 And that 100% of all funds

00:13:36.920 --> 00:13:37.700
 that will be given

00:13:37.700 --> 00:13:40.460
 will be going to works being done

00:13:40.460 --> 00:13:41.980
 all over North America

00:13:41.980 --> 00:13:43.380
 to plant churches,

00:13:43.380 --> 00:13:46.020
 to engage unreached people groups

00:13:46.020 --> 00:13:47.460
 with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

00:13:47.720 --> 00:13:47.860
 You know,

00:13:47.880 --> 00:13:49.420
 when we think of unreached people groups,

00:13:49.520 --> 00:13:51.740
 we often think of faraway places

00:13:51.740 --> 00:13:53.480
 and people who speak different languages.

00:13:53.480 --> 00:13:55.800
 But what we're finding more and more

00:13:55.800 --> 00:13:58.060
 that in the United States,

00:13:58.400 --> 00:14:00.400
 right in where we call home

00:14:00.400 --> 00:14:01.680
 of where we believe

00:14:01.680 --> 00:14:02.940
 you can see a church

00:14:02.940 --> 00:14:04.260
 on every street corner

00:14:04.260 --> 00:14:06.440
 that there are unreached people groups,

00:14:06.780 --> 00:14:08.160
 unengaged people groups

00:14:08.160 --> 00:14:10.420
 right in the context of our home.

00:14:10.560 --> 00:14:12.200
 And we've said as a denomination,

00:14:12.580 --> 00:14:13.460
 that's not okay.

00:14:13.620 --> 00:14:15.240
 And we're going to push forward with that

00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:16.280
 to plant churches

00:14:16.280 --> 00:14:17.660
 so that men, women, and children

00:14:17.660 --> 00:14:18.860
 can have an opportunity

00:14:18.860 --> 00:14:20.520
 to see, hear, and respond

00:14:20.520 --> 00:14:22.440
 to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:24.620
 And that's important for us.

00:14:25.700 --> 00:14:26.740
 This summer,

00:14:26.900 --> 00:14:29.920
 not only will we do our VBS here,

00:14:30.160 --> 00:14:30.660
 and yes,

00:14:30.820 --> 00:14:31.660
 you will get to see

00:14:31.660 --> 00:14:32.820
 a lot of people

00:14:32.820 --> 00:14:34.620
 step out of their comfort zones.

00:14:34.820 --> 00:14:35.780
 And I would argue

00:14:35.780 --> 00:14:38.460
 that I've seen Joel Berger act before

00:14:38.460 --> 00:14:40.720
 and it is fantastic, all right?

00:14:40.820 --> 00:14:42.180
 So you will want to be here

00:14:42.180 --> 00:14:43.540
 for that, absolutely.

00:14:43.800 --> 00:14:46.400
 But not only will we do our VBS here,

00:14:46.500 --> 00:14:48.560
 who needs volunteers for us

00:14:48.560 --> 00:14:50.500
 as we reach out into our community,

00:14:50.700 --> 00:14:52.060
 but the beauty of what we're doing

00:14:52.060 --> 00:14:54.280
 is we won't do one VBS this year.

00:14:54.280 --> 00:14:56.460
 We're actually doing two VBSs this year.

00:14:56.960 --> 00:14:58.860
 We'll do our VBS right here

00:14:58.860 --> 00:15:00.980
 and then we'll pack up all that we can

00:15:00.980 --> 00:15:02.400
 and we'll take it all the way

00:15:02.400 --> 00:15:03.760
 to West Jordan, Utah

00:15:03.760 --> 00:15:05.140
 to do the VBS

00:15:05.140 --> 00:15:06.580
 with Hope Valley Church

00:15:06.580 --> 00:15:07.580
 that's there

00:15:07.580 --> 00:15:09.980
 so that men and women and children

00:15:09.980 --> 00:15:11.100
 can have an opportunity

00:15:11.100 --> 00:15:12.760
 to see, hear, and respond

00:15:12.760 --> 00:15:14.220
 to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

00:15:14.340 --> 00:15:16.020
 Because when it's all said and done,

00:15:16.160 --> 00:15:17.840
 it's about what we do for the kingdom,

00:15:18.420 --> 00:15:20.140
 not what we do for a man,

00:15:21.180 --> 00:15:22.620
 not what we do for a church,

00:15:23.020 --> 00:15:24.980
 and definitely not what we do

00:15:24.980 --> 00:15:25.640
 for ourselves.

00:15:26.540 --> 00:15:28.300
 But it's what we do for the kingdom

00:15:28.300 --> 00:15:30.560
 and what we do for Jesus.

00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:33.520
 And so as Paul points them to this,

00:15:33.620 --> 00:15:35.220
 it's from the very beginning,

00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:37.760
 it's churches partnering together

00:15:37.760 --> 00:15:39.740
 to work forward in the gospel.

00:15:39.900 --> 00:15:41.700
 But also something he points them to

00:15:41.700 --> 00:15:42.880
 is intentional giving.

00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:44.440
 We'll look back at verse two.

00:15:47.040 --> 00:15:47.740
 Paul says,

00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:49.400
 on the first day of every week,

00:15:50.520 --> 00:15:52.260
 each of you is to put something aside

00:15:52.260 --> 00:15:53.120
 and store it up

00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:55.160
 as he may prosper

00:15:55.160 --> 00:15:58.280
 so that there will be no collecting

00:15:58.280 --> 00:15:59.480
 when I come.

00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:02.420
 Paul gives a pattern

00:16:02.420 --> 00:16:03.640
 and a plan here

00:16:03.640 --> 00:16:06.020
 so that the church at Corinth

00:16:06.020 --> 00:16:08.120
 can think and can act

00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:10.760
 intentionally about how they give.

00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:13.180
 Not just as a church,

00:16:13.660 --> 00:16:16.660
 but as individual families within there.

00:16:17.160 --> 00:16:18.760
 And I want to challenge you with this.

00:16:19.500 --> 00:16:21.700
 That you and I as believers,

00:16:22.700 --> 00:16:24.300
 that we think intentionally

00:16:24.300 --> 00:16:25.900
 about what we give,

00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:27.700
 we think intentionally

00:16:27.700 --> 00:16:29.080
 about what we provide

00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:29.860
 in the offering

00:16:29.860 --> 00:16:30.560
 and the tithe,

00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:31.980
 that we think intentionally

00:16:31.980 --> 00:16:33.380
 and that we make it

00:16:33.380 --> 00:16:34.840
 a part of who we are

00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:35.780
 and that we make it

00:16:35.780 --> 00:16:36.940
 a part of our life

00:16:36.940 --> 00:16:38.640
 and we hate this word,

00:16:38.900 --> 00:16:40.040
 but there's beauty in it

00:16:40.040 --> 00:16:41.440
 that it becomes part

00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:42.680
 of our routine

00:16:42.680 --> 00:16:43.360
 and worship

00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:44.720
 of what God does

00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:46.340
 to stir our hearts

00:16:46.340 --> 00:16:47.760
 and affections toward him.

00:16:48.620 --> 00:16:50.300
 I heard a pastor say one time

00:16:50.300 --> 00:16:52.780
 that when you don't think this way

00:16:52.780 --> 00:16:53.380
 about giving,

00:16:53.980 --> 00:16:54.960
 what you end up doing

00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:56.440
 is throwing pocket change at Jesus.

00:16:58.140 --> 00:16:59.400
 Well, what do I have in the moment?

00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:00.940
 Well, here, this is it.

00:17:02.100 --> 00:17:02.240
 Right?

00:17:03.180 --> 00:17:04.860
 But we see what Paul says

00:17:04.860 --> 00:17:07.140
 on the first day of every week.

00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:09.380
 Each of you is to put aside something

00:17:09.380 --> 00:17:10.520
 and store it up

00:17:10.520 --> 00:17:11.660
 as he may prosper

00:17:11.660 --> 00:17:12.840
 so that there will be

00:17:12.840 --> 00:17:14.620
 no collecting when I come.

00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:15.140
 Paul says,

00:17:15.260 --> 00:17:15.860
 I want you to be

00:17:15.860 --> 00:17:17.220
 intentional about this.

00:17:17.380 --> 00:17:18.720
 I want you to think about this.

00:17:18.900 --> 00:17:20.160
 I want you to pray about this.

00:17:20.340 --> 00:17:21.820
 I want you to be committed about this.

00:17:22.020 --> 00:17:23.200
 I want this to be in line

00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:24.300
 with your income.

00:17:24.620 --> 00:17:25.440
 I want you to understand

00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:26.060
 the blessing

00:17:26.060 --> 00:17:27.660
 of what God's going to do in this

00:17:27.660 --> 00:17:29.020
 and I want it to be built

00:17:29.020 --> 00:17:30.240
 into who you are

00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:31.560
 in your relationship

00:17:31.560 --> 00:17:32.480
 with Jesus Christ.

00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:34.280
 It's built into your worship.

00:17:34.560 --> 00:17:36.280
 It's built into the very fabric

00:17:36.280 --> 00:17:37.440
 of discipleship

00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:38.300
 and who you are

00:17:38.300 --> 00:17:40.680
 that we think intentionally

00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:42.340
 about our giving

00:17:42.340 --> 00:17:44.360
 and that we go forward with that.

00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:46.800
 Well, Paul continues on

00:17:46.800 --> 00:17:48.620
 and he gives some more instructions,

00:17:48.860 --> 00:17:50.080
 but I want you to jump down

00:17:50.080 --> 00:17:51.340
 to verse 13 and 14.

00:17:53.840 --> 00:17:55.960
 In a form of almost transition,

00:17:55.960 --> 00:17:57.560
 Paul gives these two verses.

00:17:59.560 --> 00:18:00.180
 He says,

00:18:00.180 --> 00:18:00.200
 He says,

00:18:00.280 --> 00:18:16.100
 I read a commentary this week

00:18:16.100 --> 00:18:18.320
 that said these two verses

00:18:18.320 --> 00:18:20.440
 condense all the correction

00:18:20.440 --> 00:18:22.460
 that Paul had previously given

00:18:22.460 --> 00:18:24.400
 the church down into two sentences.

00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:27.420
 All that Paul's worked through,

00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:30.080
 Paul basically breaks down

00:18:30.080 --> 00:18:33.460
 and condenses into these two verses,

00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:35.100
 into these two sentences

00:18:35.100 --> 00:18:36.520
 as he's walked through

00:18:36.520 --> 00:18:37.660
 these major issues

00:18:37.660 --> 00:18:38.420
 that they're going through.

00:18:38.980 --> 00:18:41.140
 He's walked through the unity

00:18:41.140 --> 00:18:42.980
 of the division that they face.

00:18:43.540 --> 00:18:46.140
 He's walked through pastoral worship

00:18:46.140 --> 00:18:49.120
 and idolizing leaders in the church.

00:18:49.800 --> 00:18:51.900
 He's walked through with them

00:18:51.900 --> 00:18:54.460
 as they live in a culture

00:18:54.460 --> 00:18:56.080
 of pagan sexuality.

00:18:56.360 --> 00:18:58.900
 He walks through sexual immorality

00:18:58.900 --> 00:19:00.100
 and what it creates

00:19:00.100 --> 00:19:00.920
 and what it causes

00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:02.500
 in the life of an individual.

00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:05.320
 He walks through a sticky matter

00:19:05.320 --> 00:19:08.100
 of lawsuits amongst believers

00:19:08.100 --> 00:19:09.160
 in the church

00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:11.300
 where one believer sues another

00:19:11.300 --> 00:19:12.720
 and so the other believer

00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:14.360
 sues the other believer back.

00:19:15.420 --> 00:19:17.800
 He walks through God's standard

00:19:17.800 --> 00:19:19.980
 and God's purpose of marriage.

00:19:21.140 --> 00:19:22.500
 He walks through food

00:19:22.500 --> 00:19:23.640
 and idolatry

00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:25.760
 and how they're to face these

00:19:25.760 --> 00:19:28.180
 and what you and I can draw from that.

00:19:29.080 --> 00:19:30.400
 He walks through the concept

00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:31.620
 for them of socially,

00:19:31.940 --> 00:19:33.400
 the head coverings that they face

00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:34.460
 or that they have

00:19:34.460 --> 00:19:35.120
 and the division

00:19:35.120 --> 00:19:36.320
 that they're having to face

00:19:36.320 --> 00:19:37.220
 within the church.

00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:39.940
 He talks about the Lord's Supper

00:19:39.940 --> 00:19:40.500
 with them

00:19:40.500 --> 00:19:42.040
 and how they're abusing it

00:19:42.040 --> 00:19:43.320
 and what a disgrace it is

00:19:43.320 --> 00:19:44.460
 and how they're to use

00:19:44.460 --> 00:19:46.480
 their spiritual gifts within there.

00:19:46.660 --> 00:19:49.000
 I mean there's all of these factors

00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:50.780
 and some that I've left out

00:19:50.780 --> 00:19:52.520
 and just summarizing them

00:19:52.520 --> 00:19:53.300
 to you this morning.

00:19:53.500 --> 00:19:54.840
 There's all of these factors

00:19:54.840 --> 00:19:55.440
 that are there

00:19:55.440 --> 00:19:56.860
 and in each single one of them

00:19:56.860 --> 00:19:58.020
 Paul walks through

00:19:58.020 --> 00:19:59.340
 how they're to respond

00:19:59.340 --> 00:20:00.800
 through the gospel,

00:20:01.160 --> 00:20:02.820
 through the leading of the Holy Spirit

00:20:02.820 --> 00:20:04.220
 in love with this

00:20:04.220 --> 00:20:05.920
 but then he's going to summarize them

00:20:05.920 --> 00:20:07.680
 and it doesn't matter

00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:08.780
 if you're in Lexington

00:20:08.780 --> 00:20:09.580
 or Corinth

00:20:09.580 --> 00:20:11.880
 of what it means

00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:13.740
 to be a follower

00:20:13.740 --> 00:20:14.720
 of Jesus Christ.

00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:16.360
 What it looks like

00:20:16.360 --> 00:20:17.720
 to live your life

00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:18.820
 and to pursue this

00:20:18.820 --> 00:20:19.780
 and the first thing

00:20:19.780 --> 00:20:20.660
 that he says to them

00:20:20.660 --> 00:20:21.760
 is be watchful.

00:20:22.580 --> 00:20:23.440
 Be watchful.

00:20:24.220 --> 00:20:24.740
 And this means

00:20:24.740 --> 00:20:25.960
 to be alert

00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:27.940
 or to be ready.

00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:29.160
 Right?

00:20:29.720 --> 00:20:30.920
 A few weeks ago

00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:32.460
 I called Grayson

00:20:32.460 --> 00:20:34.120
 and I was headed

00:20:34.120 --> 00:20:35.320
 on the way home

00:20:35.320 --> 00:20:36.440
 to get him

00:20:36.440 --> 00:20:37.560
 and I said

00:20:37.560 --> 00:20:37.940
 hey buddy

00:20:37.940 --> 00:20:39.820
 I don't have a lot of time

00:20:39.820 --> 00:20:42.360
 so be looking for me

00:20:42.360 --> 00:20:43.760
 so that when I pull

00:20:43.760 --> 00:20:44.940
 into the driveway

00:20:44.940 --> 00:20:45.940
 right

00:20:45.940 --> 00:20:47.180
 you can run right out

00:20:47.180 --> 00:20:48.020
 and we can go

00:20:48.020 --> 00:20:49.180
 and he was like

00:20:49.180 --> 00:20:50.620
 alright, alright, alright, alright, alright

00:20:50.620 --> 00:20:51.860
 and so I got there

00:20:51.860 --> 00:20:52.760
 and I got in the driveway

00:20:52.760 --> 00:20:53.640
 right

00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:54.960
 and there was

00:20:54.960 --> 00:20:56.460
 no Grayson coming out the door

00:20:56.460 --> 00:20:56.720
 right

00:20:56.720 --> 00:20:57.620
 no Grayson

00:20:57.620 --> 00:20:58.840
 and so I go inside

00:20:58.840 --> 00:20:59.680
 and he was in the living room

00:20:59.680 --> 00:20:59.960
 he was like

00:20:59.960 --> 00:21:01.520
 well I was listening for you

00:21:01.520 --> 00:21:01.920
 right

00:21:01.920 --> 00:21:03.220
 I was listening for you

00:21:03.220 --> 00:21:04.400
 but I needed you

00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:05.520
 to be looking for me

00:21:05.520 --> 00:21:06.580
 I needed you

00:21:06.580 --> 00:21:07.580
 to be looking for me

00:21:07.580 --> 00:21:09.620
 and when you see me

00:21:09.620 --> 00:21:11.160
 I needed you

00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:11.920
 to be ready

00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:13.340
 to respond

00:21:13.340 --> 00:21:14.720
 right

00:21:14.720 --> 00:21:16.040
 that's the feeling

00:21:16.040 --> 00:21:18.160
 that Paul gives here

00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:20.060
 be watchful

00:21:20.060 --> 00:21:21.340
 be ready

00:21:21.340 --> 00:21:23.420
 the question I have

00:21:23.420 --> 00:21:23.940
 for this morning

00:21:23.940 --> 00:21:24.500
 is for what

00:21:24.500 --> 00:21:26.300
 for what

00:21:26.300 --> 00:21:28.000
 what do we need

00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:28.780
 to be looking for

00:21:28.780 --> 00:21:30.360
 what do we need

00:21:30.360 --> 00:21:31.220
 to be ready for

00:21:31.220 --> 00:21:33.400
 like if I called you today

00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:34.440
 and said

00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:35.080
 be ready

00:21:35.080 --> 00:21:36.460
 and you said

00:21:36.460 --> 00:21:37.000
 for what

00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:38.040
 and I said

00:21:38.040 --> 00:21:38.740
 oh you'll see

00:21:38.740 --> 00:21:39.000
 right

00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:39.280
 like

00:21:39.280 --> 00:21:40.020
 no, no, no, no

00:21:40.020 --> 00:21:40.900
 that's not what I want

00:21:40.900 --> 00:21:41.640
 no

00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:42.400
 is this good

00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:43.000
 is this bad

00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:44.040
 like lead me somewhere

00:21:44.040 --> 00:21:44.340
 Beau

00:21:44.500 --> 00:21:45.740
 Paul says

00:21:45.740 --> 00:21:46.240
 be watchful

00:21:46.240 --> 00:21:46.740
 the question is

00:21:46.740 --> 00:21:47.220
 for what

00:21:47.220 --> 00:21:48.900
 well Paul doesn't

00:21:48.900 --> 00:21:49.340
 say here

00:21:49.340 --> 00:21:51.380
 but throughout

00:21:51.380 --> 00:21:52.020
 the New Testament

00:21:52.020 --> 00:21:52.640
 there are three

00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:53.820
 things consistently

00:21:53.820 --> 00:21:55.140
 that the writers

00:21:55.140 --> 00:21:56.160
 including Paul

00:21:56.160 --> 00:21:57.200
 talk about

00:21:57.200 --> 00:21:58.040
 in context

00:21:58.040 --> 00:21:59.360
 of be watchful

00:21:59.360 --> 00:21:59.720
 and I think

00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:00.540
 all of these

00:22:00.540 --> 00:22:01.480
 are important

00:22:01.480 --> 00:22:02.940
 the first thing

00:22:02.940 --> 00:22:03.560
 that we see

00:22:03.560 --> 00:22:04.480
 throughout the New Testament

00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:05.420
 to be watchful for

00:22:05.420 --> 00:22:06.200
 to be ready for

00:22:06.200 --> 00:22:07.620
 is the Lord's return

00:22:07.620 --> 00:22:09.420
 is the Lord's return

00:22:09.420 --> 00:22:12.320
 regardless of

00:22:12.320 --> 00:22:12.760
 how you think

00:22:12.760 --> 00:22:13.500
 the end of times

00:22:13.500 --> 00:22:14.400
 is going to play out

00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:16.420
 Jesus is coming back

00:22:16.420 --> 00:22:19.260
 and we as the church

00:22:19.260 --> 00:22:20.900
 are called

00:22:20.900 --> 00:22:21.900
 to be watchful

00:22:21.900 --> 00:22:23.600
 and ready for that

00:22:23.600 --> 00:22:26.620
 the peace that we get

00:22:26.620 --> 00:22:26.920
 when it

00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:27.620
 in scripture

00:22:27.620 --> 00:22:28.520
 when Paul writes

00:22:28.520 --> 00:22:28.900
 and he says

00:22:28.900 --> 00:22:29.980
 as we wait

00:22:29.980 --> 00:22:30.780
 for the returning

00:22:30.780 --> 00:22:31.580
 of the Lord

00:22:31.580 --> 00:22:33.640
 that waiting

00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:35.860
 is not kicked back

00:22:35.860 --> 00:22:37.340
 on a hammock

00:22:37.340 --> 00:22:38.420
 with our feet

00:22:38.420 --> 00:22:39.000
 propped up

00:22:39.000 --> 00:22:39.540
 and our eyes

00:22:39.540 --> 00:22:40.340
 closed resting

00:22:40.340 --> 00:22:42.220
 that be waitful

00:22:42.220 --> 00:22:43.500
 that Paul uses

00:22:43.500 --> 00:22:44.680
 there for us

00:22:44.680 --> 00:22:45.980
 what we understand

00:22:45.980 --> 00:22:47.740
 it's an active waiting

00:22:47.740 --> 00:22:49.120
 it's an anticipation

00:22:49.120 --> 00:22:50.720
 it's the picture

00:22:50.720 --> 00:22:51.480
 of a guard

00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:53.320
 on top of a guard tower

00:22:53.320 --> 00:22:55.280
 doing a job

00:22:55.280 --> 00:22:56.440
 as he watches

00:22:56.440 --> 00:22:57.880
 and as he waits

00:22:57.880 --> 00:22:59.480
 for the return

00:22:59.480 --> 00:22:59.960
 of the Lord

00:22:59.960 --> 00:23:01.860
 I want to ask you

00:23:01.860 --> 00:23:02.720
 are you waiting

00:23:02.720 --> 00:23:03.240
 for Jesus

00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:05.500
 are you excited

00:23:05.500 --> 00:23:06.360
 about his return

00:23:06.360 --> 00:23:07.600
 right

00:23:07.600 --> 00:23:09.400
 I think all too often

00:23:09.400 --> 00:23:09.980
 when we think

00:23:09.980 --> 00:23:10.600
 of the return

00:23:10.600 --> 00:23:11.180
 of Christ

00:23:11.180 --> 00:23:12.180
 it's painted

00:23:12.180 --> 00:23:13.640
 in a picture

00:23:13.640 --> 00:23:14.660
 of what to be

00:23:14.660 --> 00:23:15.820
 scared of

00:23:15.820 --> 00:23:17.020
 but it's for us

00:23:17.020 --> 00:23:17.680
 as believers

00:23:17.680 --> 00:23:18.720
 it's what to be

00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:19.740
 excited for

00:23:19.740 --> 00:23:20.660
 right

00:23:20.660 --> 00:23:21.960
 and I love to use

00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:22.460
 the picture

00:23:22.460 --> 00:23:23.120
 the illustration

00:23:23.120 --> 00:23:23.820
 in my mind

00:23:23.820 --> 00:23:25.360
 of what this looks like

00:23:25.360 --> 00:23:27.020
 to think of a little kid

00:23:27.020 --> 00:23:27.680
 right at the top

00:23:27.680 --> 00:23:28.340
 of the stairs

00:23:28.340 --> 00:23:29.660
 on Christmas morning

00:23:29.660 --> 00:23:31.060
 waiting

00:23:31.060 --> 00:23:32.600
 waiting

00:23:32.840 --> 00:23:33.560
 waiting

00:23:33.560 --> 00:23:34.020
 when I was

00:23:34.020 --> 00:23:35.180
 little

00:23:35.180 --> 00:23:36.900
 my parents

00:23:36.900 --> 00:23:38.120
 would wake us up

00:23:38.120 --> 00:23:39.820
 and then they would

00:23:39.820 --> 00:23:40.440
 go downstairs

00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:42.020
 to set up

00:23:42.020 --> 00:23:43.400
 the video camera

00:23:43.400 --> 00:23:44.100
 right

00:23:44.100 --> 00:23:45.100
 so they could

00:23:45.100 --> 00:23:45.760
 press play

00:23:45.760 --> 00:23:46.240
 so they could

00:23:46.240 --> 00:23:47.540
 capture our response

00:23:47.540 --> 00:23:49.000
 and I remember

00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:49.800
 as a little kid

00:23:49.800 --> 00:23:50.320
 it felt like

00:23:50.320 --> 00:23:50.660
 they were doing

00:23:50.660 --> 00:23:51.260
 brain surgery

00:23:51.260 --> 00:23:51.740
 down there

00:23:51.740 --> 00:23:52.060
 you know

00:23:52.060 --> 00:23:52.360
 like

00:23:52.360 --> 00:23:53.520
 y'all couldn't

00:23:53.520 --> 00:23:54.000
 have done this

00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:54.500
 earlier

00:23:54.500 --> 00:23:55.200
 like why are we

00:23:55.200 --> 00:23:55.700
 just now doing

00:23:55.700 --> 00:23:56.140
 this dad

00:23:56.140 --> 00:23:56.340
 right

00:23:56.340 --> 00:23:57.100
 like could you

00:23:57.100 --> 00:23:57.400
 not have

00:23:57.400 --> 00:23:58.000
 taken care of

00:23:58.000 --> 00:23:58.300
 this right

00:23:58.300 --> 00:23:58.820
 so they're

00:23:58.820 --> 00:23:59.180
 getting the

00:23:59.180 --> 00:24:00.280
 video camera

00:24:00.280 --> 00:24:00.960
 set up

00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:01.740
 and sitting

00:24:01.740 --> 00:24:02.180
 there

00:24:02.180 --> 00:24:03.140
 on the edge

00:24:03.140 --> 00:24:03.880
 of the steps

00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:04.440
 it's like

00:24:04.440 --> 00:24:05.660
 I can't wait

00:24:05.660 --> 00:24:06.220
 I want it

00:24:06.220 --> 00:24:06.680
 to happen

00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:07.500
 right now

00:24:07.500 --> 00:24:09.940
 and is that

00:24:09.940 --> 00:24:10.240
 how we're

00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:10.660
 waiting for

00:24:10.660 --> 00:24:11.060
 Jesus

00:24:11.060 --> 00:24:12.840
 Paul says

00:24:12.840 --> 00:24:13.620
 be watchful

00:24:13.620 --> 00:24:14.520
 be ready

00:24:14.520 --> 00:24:15.820
 but then

00:24:15.820 --> 00:24:16.400
 also

00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:17.440
 and Peter

00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:17.880
 talks about

00:24:17.880 --> 00:24:18.140
 this in

00:24:18.140 --> 00:24:18.660
 first Peter

00:24:18.660 --> 00:24:20.000
 we're also

00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:20.680
 to be watchful

00:24:20.680 --> 00:24:21.260
 of the enemy

00:24:21.260 --> 00:24:22.520
 right

00:24:22.520 --> 00:24:23.780
 the enemy's

00:24:23.780 --> 00:24:24.100
 not good

00:24:24.100 --> 00:24:24.380
 that's why

00:24:24.380 --> 00:24:24.580
 he's the

00:24:24.580 --> 00:24:24.820
 enemy

00:24:24.820 --> 00:24:26.400
 Christ

00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:26.920
 tells us

00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:27.260
 that Satan

00:24:27.260 --> 00:24:27.660
 comes to

00:24:27.660 --> 00:24:27.900
 steal

00:24:27.900 --> 00:24:28.260
 kill

00:24:28.260 --> 00:24:29.200
 and destroy

00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:30.780
 and that

00:24:30.780 --> 00:24:31.020
 we need

00:24:31.020 --> 00:24:31.380
 to be on

00:24:31.380 --> 00:24:31.660
 the lookout

00:24:31.660 --> 00:24:32.200
 for him

00:24:32.200 --> 00:24:33.920
 right

00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:34.120
 there's

00:24:34.120 --> 00:24:34.580
 things in

00:24:34.580 --> 00:24:35.300
 this world

00:24:35.300 --> 00:24:36.780
 Satan

00:24:36.780 --> 00:24:37.180
 in this

00:24:37.180 --> 00:24:37.580
 world

00:24:37.580 --> 00:24:38.160
 wants to

00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:38.740
 attack

00:24:38.740 --> 00:24:39.020
 and to

00:24:39.020 --> 00:24:39.480
 destroy

00:24:39.480 --> 00:24:41.140
 when we

00:24:41.140 --> 00:24:41.500
 are in

00:24:41.500 --> 00:24:41.820
 Christ

00:24:41.820 --> 00:24:42.200
 he cannot

00:24:42.200 --> 00:24:43.040
 remove us

00:24:43.040 --> 00:24:43.820
 from him

00:24:43.820 --> 00:24:44.720
 he can't

00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:45.140
 take that

00:24:45.140 --> 00:24:45.660
 away from

00:24:45.660 --> 00:24:46.020
 us

00:24:46.020 --> 00:24:47.120
 but what

00:24:47.120 --> 00:24:47.420
 he can

00:24:47.420 --> 00:24:47.780
 seek to

00:24:47.780 --> 00:24:48.340
 destroy

00:24:48.340 --> 00:24:48.940
 is your

00:24:48.940 --> 00:24:49.380
 life

00:24:49.380 --> 00:24:49.800
 is your

00:24:49.800 --> 00:24:50.280
 marriage

00:24:50.280 --> 00:24:50.720
 is your

00:24:50.720 --> 00:24:51.180
 family

00:24:51.180 --> 00:24:51.660
 is your

00:24:51.660 --> 00:24:52.260
 relationships

00:24:52.260 --> 00:24:52.820
 and at

00:24:52.820 --> 00:24:53.360
 any point

00:24:53.360 --> 00:24:53.760
 in time

00:24:53.760 --> 00:24:54.240
 and at

00:24:54.240 --> 00:24:54.800
 any moment

00:24:54.800 --> 00:24:55.240
 and when

00:24:55.240 --> 00:24:55.420
 there's

00:24:55.420 --> 00:24:56.060
 the smallest

00:24:56.060 --> 00:24:56.960
 crack of

00:24:56.960 --> 00:24:57.340
 weakness

00:24:57.340 --> 00:24:58.120
 of what's

00:24:58.120 --> 00:24:58.380
 there

00:24:58.380 --> 00:24:58.940
 the enemy

00:24:58.940 --> 00:24:59.400
 wants to

00:24:59.400 --> 00:25:00.000
 pounce

00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:00.540
 on that

00:25:00.540 --> 00:25:01.420
 and destroy

00:25:01.420 --> 00:25:01.860
 that

00:25:01.860 --> 00:25:02.280
 and so

00:25:02.280 --> 00:25:03.220
 Peter

00:25:03.220 --> 00:25:04.060
 reminds us

00:25:04.060 --> 00:25:04.900
 and Paul

00:25:04.900 --> 00:25:05.300
 in here

00:25:05.300 --> 00:25:05.760
 of be

00:25:05.760 --> 00:25:06.460
 watchful

00:25:06.460 --> 00:25:06.960
 of the

00:25:06.960 --> 00:25:07.320
 enemy

00:25:07.320 --> 00:25:08.060
 this isn't

00:25:08.060 --> 00:25:08.660
 crazy

00:25:08.660 --> 00:25:09.220
 super

00:25:09.220 --> 00:25:09.720
 spirituality

00:25:09.720 --> 00:25:10.620
 this is

00:25:10.620 --> 00:25:11.480
 the understanding

00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:12.300
 that Satan

00:25:12.300 --> 00:25:12.760
 wants to

00:25:12.760 --> 00:25:13.340
 destroy

00:25:13.340 --> 00:25:14.080
 all that

00:25:14.080 --> 00:25:14.420
 is good

00:25:14.420 --> 00:25:14.700
 in your

00:25:14.700 --> 00:25:15.140
 life

 he does

00:25:32.500 --> 00:25:33.240

00:25:40.700 --> 00:25:41.500
 I heard a

00:25:44.880 --> 00:25:45.660
 seek to

00:25:45.660 --> 00:25:46.260
 pursue

00:25:46.260 --> 00:25:47.020
 the things

00:25:47.020 --> 00:25:47.620

00:25:47.620 --> 00:25:48.260
 your heart

00:25:48.260 --> 00:25:48.800
 for Jesus

00:25:48.800 --> 00:25:50.380
 and if

00:25:50.380 --> 00:25:50.520
 you

00:25:50.520 --> 00:25:50.980
 find

00:25:50.980 --> 00:25:51.200
 there

00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:51.680

00:25:54.980 --> 00:25:55.380
 Jesus

00:25:55.380 --> 00:25:56.000
 then

00:25:56.000 --> 00:25:56.280
 start

00:25:56.280 --> 00:25:56.400
 to

00:25:56.400 --> 00:25:56.560
 begin

00:25:56.560 --> 00:25:56.740

 a

 child

 is

 tossed

00:27:55.240 --> 00:27:55.380
 the

00:27:55.380 --> 00:27:55.740
 waves

00:27:55.740 --> 00:27:56.940
 right

00:27:56.940 --> 00:27:58.340
 you

00:27:58.340 --> 00:27:58.560
 think

00:27:58.560 --> 00:27:58.980
 being out

00:27:58.980 --> 00:27:59.140
 there

00:27:59.140 --> 00:27:59.380
 at the

00:27:59.380 --> 00:27:59.580
 beach

00:27:59.580 --> 00:27:59.860
 being a

00:27:59.860 --> 00:27:59.980
 little

00:27:59.980 --> 00:28:00.340
 kid

00:28:00.340 --> 00:28:00.600
 right

00:28:00.600 --> 00:28:01.780
 and

00:28:01.780 --> 00:28:01.940
 the

00:28:01.940 --> 00:28:02.380
 storm

00:28:02.380 --> 00:28:02.600
 that's

00:28:02.600 --> 00:28:02.780
 going to

00:28:02.780 --> 00:28:03.000
 come

00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:03.180
 the

00:28:03.180 --> 00:28:03.420
 next

00:28:03.420 --> 00:28:03.780
 day

00:28:03.780 --> 00:28:04.520
 creates

00:28:04.520 --> 00:28:04.680
 a

00:28:04.680 --> 00:28:04.820
 little

00:28:04.820 --> 00:28:04.980
 bit

00:28:04.980 --> 00:28:05.220
 bigger

00:28:05.220 --> 00:28:05.620
 wave

00:28:05.620 --> 00:28:05.800
 and

00:28:05.800 --> 00:28:05.960
 it's

00:28:05.960 --> 00:28:06.180
 a little

00:28:06.180 --> 00:28:06.320
 bit

00:28:06.320 --> 00:28:06.500
 more

00:28:06.500 --> 00:28:06.880
 fun

00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:07.100
 right

00:28:07.100 --> 00:28:07.340
 when

00:28:07.340 --> 00:28:07.360
 we

00:28:07.360 --> 00:28:07.460
 were

00:28:07.460 --> 00:28:07.680
 little

00:28:07.680 --> 00:28:08.060
 we

00:28:08.060 --> 00:28:08.240
 used

00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:08.380
 to

00:28:08.380 --> 00:28:08.560
 play

00:28:08.560 --> 00:28:08.720
 the

00:28:08.720 --> 00:28:08.980
 game

00:28:08.980 --> 00:28:09.120
 we

00:28:09.120 --> 00:28:09.140
 would

00:28:09.140 --> 00:28:09.260
 get

00:28:09.260 --> 00:28:09.400
 out

00:28:09.400 --> 00:28:09.580
 there

00:28:09.580 --> 00:28:09.700
 and

00:28:09.700 --> 00:28:09.880
 the

00:28:09.880 --> 00:28:10.180
 waves

00:28:10.180 --> 00:28:10.300
 would

00:28:10.300 --> 00:28:10.580
 crash

00:28:10.580 --> 00:28:10.820
 on

00:28:10.820 --> 00:28:10.940
 us

00:28:10.940 --> 00:28:11.300
 and

00:28:11.300 --> 00:28:11.440
 the

00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:11.660
 goal

00:28:11.660 --> 00:28:11.800
 was

00:28:11.800 --> 00:28:11.920
 to

00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:12.200
 plant

00:28:12.200 --> 00:28:12.360
 a

00:28:12.360 --> 00:28:12.640
 foot

00:28:12.640 --> 00:28:13.640
 and

00:28:13.640 --> 00:28:13.780
 then

00:28:13.780 --> 00:28:14.000
 not

00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:14.260
 move

00:28:14.260 --> 00:28:14.460
 that

00:28:14.460 --> 00:28:14.700
 foot

00:28:14.700 --> 00:28:14.980
 right

00:28:14.980 --> 00:28:15.420
 and

00:28:15.420 --> 00:28:15.500
 so

00:28:15.500 --> 00:28:15.740
 you're

00:28:15.740 --> 00:28:16.140
 pivoting

00:28:16.140 --> 00:28:16.320
 all

00:28:16.320 --> 00:28:16.500
 over

00:28:16.500 --> 00:28:16.620
 the

00:28:16.620 --> 00:28:16.800
 place

00:28:16.800 --> 00:28:16.920
 right

00:28:16.920 --> 00:28:17.040
 the

00:28:17.040 --> 00:28:17.360
 waves

00:28:17.360 --> 00:28:17.480
 are

00:28:17.480 --> 00:28:17.680
 coming

00:28:17.680 --> 00:28:17.880
 in

00:28:17.880 --> 00:28:18.200
 and

00:28:18.200 --> 00:28:18.380
 you're

00:28:18.380 --> 00:28:18.740
 moving

00:28:18.740 --> 00:28:18.920
 and

00:28:18.920 --> 00:28:19.040
 you're

00:28:19.040 --> 00:28:19.260
 doing

00:28:19.260 --> 00:28:19.560
 all

00:28:19.560 --> 00:28:19.720
 of

00:28:19.720 --> 00:28:19.960
 this

00:28:19.960 --> 00:28:20.400
 but

00:28:20.400 --> 00:28:20.820
 for

00:28:20.820 --> 00:28:21.140
 me

00:28:21.140 --> 00:28:22.160
 my

00:28:22.160 --> 00:28:22.380
 foot

00:28:22.380 --> 00:28:22.520
 would

00:28:22.520 --> 00:28:22.800
 slide

00:28:22.800 --> 00:28:23.360
 sometimes

00:28:23.360 --> 00:28:24.360
 and

00:28:24.360 --> 00:28:24.460
 I

00:28:24.460 --> 00:28:24.760
 look at

00:28:24.760 --> 00:28:24.900
 my

00:28:24.900 --> 00:28:25.160
 cousin

00:28:25.160 --> 00:28:25.340
 and

00:28:25.340 --> 00:28:25.440
 say

00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:25.660
 no

00:28:25.660 --> 00:28:25.740
 I

00:28:25.740 --> 00:28:25.860
 didn't

00:28:25.860 --> 00:28:26.160
 move

00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:26.380
 you

00:28:26.380 --> 00:28:26.500
 know

00:28:26.500 --> 00:28:26.960
 that's

00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:27.140
 it

00:28:27.140 --> 00:28:27.560
 the

00:28:27.560 --> 00:28:27.980
 competitive

00:28:27.980 --> 00:28:28.380
 nature

00:28:28.380 --> 00:28:28.740
 coming

00:28:28.740 --> 00:28:28.980
 out

00:28:28.980 --> 00:28:29.160
 in

00:28:29.160 --> 00:28:29.360
 me

00:28:29.360 --> 00:28:30.160
 and

00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:30.380
 Paul

00:28:30.380 --> 00:28:30.580
 says

00:28:30.580 --> 00:28:30.760
 that

00:28:30.760 --> 00:28:30.920
 when

00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:31.080
 your

00:28:31.080 --> 00:28:31.520
 faith

00:28:31.520 --> 00:28:31.800
 isn't

00:28:31.800 --> 00:28:32.180
 grounded

00:28:32.180 --> 00:28:32.480
 though

00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:33.440
 you're

00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:33.620
 like

00:28:33.620 --> 00:28:33.800
 that

00:28:33.800 --> 00:28:34.160
 small

00:28:34.160 --> 00:28:34.700
 child

00:28:34.700 --> 00:28:35.460
 being

00:28:35.460 --> 00:28:35.980
 tossed

00:28:35.980 --> 00:28:36.920
 aside

00:28:36.920 --> 00:28:37.780
 aside

00:28:37.780 --> 00:28:38.580
 aside

00:28:38.580 --> 00:28:39.100
 and

00:28:39.100 --> 00:28:39.260
 so

00:28:39.260 --> 00:28:39.460
 what

00:28:39.460 --> 00:28:39.640
 we

00:30:56.180 --> 00:30:56.660
 pursuing

00:30:56.660 --> 00:30:57.320
 God's

00:30:57.320 --> 00:30:57.780
 standard

00:30:57.780 --> 00:30:58.680
 when

00:30:58.680 --> 00:30:58.880
 the

00:30:58.880 --> 00:30:59.200
 world

00:30:59.200 --> 00:30:59.540
 tells

00:30:59.540 --> 00:30:59.780
 you

00:30:59.780 --> 00:31:00.140
 to

 if

00:31:02.340 --> 00:31:02.460
 you

00:31:02.460 --> 00:31:02.820
 don't

00:31:02.820 --> 00:31:03.420

00:31:04.140 --> 00:31:05.680

00:31:05.680 --> 00:31:05.840
 I

00:31:05.840 --> 00:31:06.020
 think

00:31:06.020 --> 00:31:06.200
 the

00:31:06.200 --> 00:31:06.540
 theme

00:31:06.540 --> 00:31:06.680
 that

00:31:06.680 --> 00:31:06.880
 we've

00:31:09.300 --> 00:31:09.660

00:31:09.660 --> 00:31:11.300
 and

00:31:11.300 --> 00:31:11.420
 that

00:31:11.420 --> 00:31:11.720
 we'll

00:31:11.720 --> 00:31:12.380
 celebrate

00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:14.460
 even

00:31:14.460 --> 00:31:16.460
 if

00:31:16.460 --> 00:31:16.580
 you were

00:31:16.580 --> 00:31:16.680

00:31:17.980 --> 00:31:18.360
 faith

00:31:18.360 --> 00:31:19.000
 looks

00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:19.360
 like

00:31:19.360 --> 00:31:20.580
 it's

00:31:20.580 --> 00:31:20.900

00:36:48.960 --> 00:36:50.300

00:36:50.300 --> 00:36:50.440
 so

00:36:50.440 --> 00:36:50.600
 what

00:36:50.600 --> 00:36:50.740
 does

00:36:50.740 --> 00:36:50.880
 it

00:36:50.880 --> 00:36:51.200
 mean

00:36:51.200 --> 00:36:52.520

00:36:52.980 --> 00:36:53.260
 other

 holy

00:36:55.020 --> 00:36:55.480
 kiss

00:36:55.480 --> 00:36:57.220
 let's

00:36:57.220 --> 00:36:57.400
 live

00:36:57.400 --> 00:36:57.640
 like

00:36:57.640 --> 00:36:58.040
 family

00:36:58.040 --> 00:37:00.020
 with

00:37:00.020 --> 00:37:00.140
 a

00:37:00.140 --> 00:37:00.400
 side

00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:00.740
 hug

00:37:00.740 --> 00:37:01.920
 with

00:37:01.920 --> 00:37:02.040
 a

00:37:02.040 --> 00:37:02.260
 fist

00:37:02.260 --> 00:37:02.600
 bump

00:37:02.600 --> 00:37:03.640
 with

00:37:03.640 --> 00:37:04.000
 away

00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:04.280
 from

00:37:04.280 --> 00:37:04.400
 a

00:37:04.400 --> 00:37:04.760
 distance

00:37:04.760 --> 00:37:05.060
 right

00:37:05.060 --> 00:37:06.520
 whatever

00:37:06.520 --> 00:37:06.840
 that

00:37:06.840 --> 00:37:07.280
 is

00:37:07.280 --> 00:37:08.620
 because

00:37:08.620 --> 00:37:08.860
 it's

00:37:08.860 --> 00:37:09.080
 more

00:37:09.080 --> 00:37:09.240
 than

00:37:09.240 --> 00:37:09.440
 a

00:37:09.440 --> 00:37:09.800
 gesture

00:37:09.800 --> 00:37:11.460
 it's

00:37:11.460 --> 00:37:11.580
 a

00:37:11.580 --> 00:37:11.960
 revelation

00:37:11.960 --> 00:37:12.180
 of

00:37:12.180 --> 00:37:12.280
 the

00:37:12.280 --> 00:37:12.520
 heart

00:37:12.520 --> 00:37:13.880
 would

00:37:13.880 --> 00:37:13.980
 you

00:37:13.980 --> 00:37:14.120

00:37:14.300 --> 00:37:14.640
 me

00:37:14.640 --> 00:37:18.000
