 recent sermons and more. Thanks for listening, and be sure to add this show to your library

00:00:13.900 --> 00:00:16.820
 if you'd like to automatically receive new episodes each week.

00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:31.880
 Good morning. If you have your Bible, and I hope you do, I want to invite you to open to Daniel

00:00:31.880 --> 00:00:37.920
 chapter 4. That's where we will be today. I want to echo what Pastor Dave said. If you are a first

00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:42.520
 time guest, thank you so much for being here and for worshiping with us. At the end of the service,

00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:46.500
 if you wouldn't mind, I'll be back here at this connect table. Would love for all of our first

00:00:46.500 --> 00:00:51.240
 time guests to stop by. I would love to meet you. I would love to thank you for worshiping with us

00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:56.140
 and answer any questions about our church that you may have. Also, as we're opening our Bibles to

00:00:56.140 --> 00:01:01.220
 study God's Word this morning, if you do not have a copy of God's Word, we have some that are back

00:01:01.220 --> 00:01:05.560
 there. They are free. We would love to give those to you. We'd love to bless you with one of those

00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:12.360
 because we would love for you to study God's Word and to work through this with us. Also, I want to

00:01:12.360 --> 00:01:16.920
 kind of point something out. So you've got this Harvest Hangout flyer that Pastor Dave talked about on

00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:22.300
 the chairs that's there. We do have these invite cards as well. They're going to be at the back. So when

00:01:22.300 --> 00:01:29.440
 you stop by, here's going to be the challenge for us as a church, okay? We want to—here's our—we never

00:01:29.440 --> 00:01:35.120
 run out of candy, all right? And I'm making Dave cringe right now. We never run out of candy. I want

00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:41.300
 to run out of candy. I want there to be so many people here that we're scrambling and having to

00:01:41.300 --> 00:01:48.480
 run down to CVS and pay $43 for 12 pieces of candy, all right? All right? So we want you to take these

00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:53.440
 invite cards. I want you to invite people. When we talk about discipleship, one of the forms of discipleship

00:01:53.440 --> 00:01:59.140
 that we talk about as well is missional discipleship. So what we want you to do, invite your friends

00:01:59.140 --> 00:02:04.640
 who go to other churches. That's fine. We want them to continue to be at their church. But invite your

00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:12.160
 friends. Invite people who you know who don't know the Lord or don't have a church home. What we're going

00:02:12.160 --> 00:02:15.620
 to be looking to do through this is they're just going to come. They're going to have a great time.

00:02:15.620 --> 00:02:21.380
 And we're going to be praying for and looking for and inviting them into opportunities to have gospel

00:02:21.380 --> 00:02:27.700
 conversations. So here's the challenge. The challenge is for you between now and then to grab some of

00:02:27.700 --> 00:02:34.420
 these and bring one family with you who's lost, disconnected from the church, does not know the

00:02:34.420 --> 00:02:40.660
 Lord, and to give us an opportunity to share about the hope that we have in Jesus Christ. Now here's what

00:02:40.660 --> 00:02:47.140
 we're doing to reward you. When you look on here, you'll see that there's going to be some of the

00:02:47.140 --> 00:02:55.300
 usuals. Candy, popcorn, hot dogs, snow cones, games, and the famous Mike C. Hayride.

00:02:58.020 --> 00:03:02.180
 And you see what else is on there? Dunkin' Booth.

00:03:06.740 --> 00:03:15.300
 So a couple weeks ago in a staff meeting, I had this idea. I had the idea. Let's get a Dunkin' Booth.

00:03:16.260 --> 00:03:20.660
 Let's get a Dunkin' Booth. And then I asked this question to our staff.

00:03:22.020 --> 00:03:26.500
 Who are some people of our church that people would like to throw things at?

00:03:29.380 --> 00:03:35.060
 Y'all are saying, don't be that. People are like, I'm hearing it from the front row. We're over here.

00:03:35.700 --> 00:03:39.940
 But I asked our staff that question. Here's who's going to be in the Dunkin' Booth that night.

00:03:40.740 --> 00:03:45.460
 Number one, Don Coulter is going to be in the Dunkin' Booth. Now, let me say this. If you want to throw

00:03:45.460 --> 00:03:50.580
 something at Dawn, there's something wrong with you. All right? When Dawn's in that Dunkin' Booth, you

00:03:50.580 --> 00:03:55.140
 better miss. But then she's going to be followed by Joel Van Ham.

00:03:58.660 --> 00:04:02.980
 Then, the one, the only, Brent Hawkins.

00:04:09.940 --> 00:04:11.940
 Then, Kyle Watts.

00:04:16.900 --> 00:04:30.740
 I'll get the Dunkin' Booth. But we will end exactly when we're supposed to end. And this will not

00:04:30.740 --> 00:04:36.260
 continue on. Pray for 90 degree weather that night. But we're going to have a blast. We're going to have

00:04:36.260 --> 00:04:42.580
 a good time together. You want to be there. I kind of want to be there. But please, please, please leave

00:04:42.580 --> 00:04:50.100
 these at restaurants. Invite people. This is not about candy. This is not about costumes. This is

00:04:50.100 --> 00:04:54.740
 not even about Dunkin' Booths. This is about an opportunity to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with

00:04:54.740 --> 00:04:59.780
 people. All right? And so, I want to encourage you to do that. I want to read out of Daniel chapter 4,

00:04:59.780 --> 00:05:02.580
 starting in verse 2. And then we'll get started with God's word this morning.

00:05:03.620 --> 00:05:08.420
 It has seemed good to me to show the signs and wonders that the Most High God has done for me.

00:05:08.420 --> 00:05:13.220
 How great are His signs. How mighty are His wonders. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,

00:05:13.460 --> 00:05:18.980
 and His dominion endures from generation to generation. Would you pray with me? God,

00:05:18.980 --> 00:05:22.340
 we thank you for the beauty of your word and for the sufficiency of your word.

00:05:23.940 --> 00:05:31.300
 God, I pray this morning that as we gather in here together, God, if there's any of this that is of me

00:05:31.300 --> 00:05:35.700
 and from me, Lord, that you would remove it. And Lord, may what is said and what is done in this place

00:05:35.700 --> 00:05:42.100
 be of you, be honoring to you, and be from you. God, for anyone who's here who does not know

00:05:42.980 --> 00:05:48.420
 Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, God, we pray that today would be the day of their salvation.

00:05:49.700 --> 00:05:52.900
 And it's in Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Amen.

00:05:53.780 --> 00:05:58.580
 Well, I want to do something a little different this morning, okay? We're going to work all the way

00:05:58.580 --> 00:06:06.900
 through chapter 4 today. The message part for this, I'm going to try to do two things this morning.

00:06:07.460 --> 00:06:12.420
 I want to move faithfully through chapter 4, but I also want to move quickly through chapter 4.

00:06:13.540 --> 00:06:19.540
 And then I want to take some time at the end to bring us together as we wrap up this chapter,

00:06:19.540 --> 00:06:28.580
 which is a very interesting, powerful chapter as we see. We'll see the ending of King Nebuchadnezzar,

00:06:28.580 --> 00:06:33.700
 a guy that's kind of been with us, and tie that through. So sometimes, you know, toward the end of

00:06:33.700 --> 00:06:39.540
 things, our minds begin to wander, our minds begin to go places. So we're going to move quickly. And then

00:06:39.540 --> 00:06:45.220
 at the end, I'm going to ask you to maybe to move around your seat a little bit and pull through

00:06:46.420 --> 00:06:54.100
 and refocus with me as we, as we see what God has for us. So let's read the first three verses of

00:06:54.100 --> 00:07:01.780
 Daniel 4. "King Nebuchadnezzar to all peoples, nations and languages that dwell in all the earth,

00:07:01.780 --> 00:07:08.740
 peace be multiplied to you. It has seemed good to me to show the signs and wonders that the most high

00:07:08.740 --> 00:07:15.380
 God has done for me. How great are his signs, how mighty his wonders. His kingdom is an everlasting

00:07:15.380 --> 00:07:21.860
 kingdom, and his dominion endures from generation to generation." What we're going to look at this

00:07:21.860 --> 00:07:31.620
 morning in Daniel chapter 4 at the very beginning is the power of a testimony. 25 years, 25 to 30 years

00:07:31.620 --> 00:07:40.740
 after Nebuchadnezzar's first dream, this evil, corrupt, wicked killer of a man

00:07:43.700 --> 00:07:49.700
 comes to faith in God and shares his story. The beauty of what we see here, what we believe

00:07:50.260 --> 00:07:57.380
 here in Daniel 4 of what you've just seen is Nebuchadnezzar calls all the people together to

00:07:57.380 --> 00:08:07.860
 tell him his story of how God has saved him. As we go through this, we are literally going to read a man's

00:08:07.860 --> 00:08:16.660
 story. It's a powerful story. It's an impacting story. It's a soul-saving story, not because of

00:08:16.660 --> 00:08:24.740
 Nebuchadnezzar, but because of God. And so I want you to think through, what is your story?

00:08:26.340 --> 00:08:29.780
 What is your story with God? What's your story of God saving you?

00:08:32.980 --> 00:08:40.340
 Who are you influencing as a result of your story? Look here at Nebuchadnezzar.

00:08:41.780 --> 00:08:47.940
 Nebuchadnezzar, when we've seen in these first three chapters, corrupt, evil, wicked, all that he is,

00:08:49.940 --> 00:08:58.740
 but it's had the beauty of experiencing, witnessing, hearing from, and possibly even being spoken to

00:09:00.740 --> 00:09:08.260
 about the faithfulness of God from Daniel, from Shadrach, from Meshach, and from Abednego.

00:09:09.860 --> 00:09:17.460
 And what we see, I know how sometimes we want things to work very quickly, but for 25 to 30 years,

00:09:19.140 --> 00:09:26.100
 Nebuchadnezzar has seen the faithfulness that these men have for God,

00:09:28.340 --> 00:09:43.300
 and their willingness not to just serve God, but even in midst of difficulty, serve Nebuchadnezzar.

00:09:45.300 --> 00:09:57.460
 So Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, calls all people, all nations, all languages,

00:09:58.500 --> 00:10:07.140
 a worldwide invitation so that he can share what God has done.

00:10:09.220 --> 00:10:13.780
 So let's see his story, starting in verse 4.

00:10:15.780 --> 00:10:22.340
 I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at ease in my house and prospering in my palace.

00:10:23.780 --> 00:10:28.980
 I saw a dream that made me afraid. As I lay in bed, the fancies and the visions of my head

00:10:28.980 --> 00:10:34.500
 alarmed me. So I made a decree that all the wise men of Babylon should be brought before me,

00:10:35.140 --> 00:10:42.020
 that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream. Then the magicians, the enchanters,

00:10:42.020 --> 00:10:47.700
 the Chaldeans, and the astrologers came in. And if you weren't here early with us in the first dream,

00:10:47.940 --> 00:10:55.460
 this is all the religious scholars of the day in Babylon. Came in and I told them the dream,

00:10:55.460 --> 00:11:02.580
 but they could not make known to me its interpretation. At last, Daniel came in before me.

00:11:03.380 --> 00:11:11.940
 He who was named Belshazzar, after the name of my God, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods,

00:11:11.940 --> 00:11:19.460
 and I told him the dream, saying, O Belshazzar, chief of the magicians, because I know the spirit of the

00:11:19.460 --> 00:11:27.300
 holy gods is in you, and that no mystery is too difficult for you. Tell me the visions of my dream

00:11:27.300 --> 00:11:33.460
 that I saw and their interpretation. The visions of my head and as I lay in my bed were these.

00:11:33.860 --> 00:11:39.680
 I saw and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and its height was great. The tree grew and became

00:11:39.680 --> 00:11:46.060
 strong, and its top reached to the heaven, and it was visible to the end of the whole earth. Its leaves

00:11:46.060 --> 00:11:53.220
 are beautiful, and its fruit abundant, and in it was food for all. The beast of the field found shade

00:11:53.220 --> 00:12:00.660
 under it. The birds of the heavens lived in its branches, and all flesh was fed from it. I saw in

00:12:00.660 --> 00:12:06.020
 the vision of my head as I lay in bed, and behold, a watcher, a holy one, came down from heaven.

00:12:07.460 --> 00:12:14.900
 He proclaimed aloud and said thus, Chop down the tree and lop off its branches, strip off its leaves,

00:12:14.900 --> 00:12:21.060
 scatter its fruit, let the beast flee from under it and the birds from its branches.

00:12:22.660 --> 00:12:30.140
 But leave the stump of its roots in the earth, bound with a band of iron and bronze amid the tender

00:12:30.140 --> 00:12:36.180
 grass of the field. Let him be wet with the dew of heaven. Let his portion be with the beast in the

00:12:36.180 --> 00:12:44.340
 grass of the earth. Let his mind be changed from a man's, and let a beast's mind be given to him,

00:12:45.300 --> 00:12:52.260
 and let seven periods of time pass over him. The sentence is by the decree of the watchers,

00:12:53.060 --> 00:13:00.660
 the decision by the word of the holy ones, to the end that the living may know that the most high

00:13:00.660 --> 00:13:09.780
 rules the kingdom of men, rules the kingdom of men, and gives it to whom he will and sets over it the

00:13:09.780 --> 00:13:20.980
 lowliest of men. This dream I, King Nebuchadnezzar, saw in you, O Belteshazzar, tell me the interpretation,

00:13:21.780 --> 00:13:27.940
 because all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation.

00:13:29.220 --> 00:13:36.500
 But you are able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in you.

00:13:38.580 --> 00:13:42.180
 So, King Nebuchadnezzar says, I'm going to tell you my testimony.

00:13:44.020 --> 00:13:51.620
 And testimonies of salvation always begin in lostness. Testimonies of salvation always begin

00:13:51.620 --> 00:14:00.100
 in lostness. So, he takes back to a time period where he is lost, and he has a dream. And where we

00:14:00.100 --> 00:14:06.580
 find when it comes to sharing the good news of God, when it comes to interpreting the dreams that God has

00:14:06.580 --> 00:14:14.980
 set within Nebuchadnezzar, what we see in this is hopelessness needs hope. Hopelessness needs hope.

00:14:15.780 --> 00:14:24.420
 Who's hopeless? Nebuchadnezzar. Who has hope? Daniel. 25 years after the dream, he has a second

00:14:24.420 --> 00:14:32.740
 dream. He's afraid. Just like last time, right? Don't overly criticize Nebuchadnezzar, right? He does what

00:14:32.740 --> 00:14:39.220
 you and I do. He falls oftentimes back to culture. And culture says, bring in all the scholars. Bring

00:14:39.220 --> 00:14:45.700
 in all the magicians. Bring in all the Chaldeans. And so, that's what he does. And just like last time,

00:14:45.700 --> 00:14:52.580
 how quickly he and you and I are to forget that he wants them to interpret the dream.

00:14:53.460 --> 00:15:02.980
 But again, they cannot. And so, Daniel comes in. And you can feel this excitement building within

00:15:02.980 --> 00:15:09.220
 Nebuchadnezzar, right? It sparks in his memory. That's right. It's Daniel. It's not these knuckleheads.

00:15:09.220 --> 00:15:18.020
 It's this guy that can do this. Daniel comes in. And here's what Nebuchadnezzar says twice to Daniel.

00:15:19.220 --> 00:15:27.860
 Two times. He says you're different. He doesn't understand why Daniel's different.

00:15:29.380 --> 00:15:32.340
 He kind of gets part of it right and gets the rest of it wrong.

00:15:34.180 --> 00:15:40.100
 He says that there's something different. Here's what he gets right. He says what's different is in you.

00:15:43.940 --> 00:15:48.820
 What's different is what's in you. You see, it wasn't just about Daniel's character.

00:15:50.660 --> 00:15:57.700
 He acknowledged that there's even a spiritual work that's happening, that has happened and taken place

00:15:58.820 --> 00:16:05.380
 in the heart of Daniel. What he gets wrong is, he says, and it comes from gods.

00:16:08.820 --> 00:16:15.380
 I want you to think through, and I'm going to take some liberty based off of what we believe about,

00:16:15.380 --> 00:16:19.940
 what we know about Daniel to what I believe has been happening for the last 25 years.

00:16:21.300 --> 00:16:29.700
 Daniel's a guy who stands firm. Daniel's a guy who gives glory to God. Daniel's a man from everything

00:16:29.700 --> 00:16:35.780
 that we've seen within this that is not going to succumb to the cultures and the influences of the world.

00:16:35.780 --> 00:16:40.020
 And all Daniel wants to do is be obedient to his God.

00:16:41.700 --> 00:16:49.940
 And so I imagine, as Daniel has been elevated to the right hand of the king, the overseer of overseers,

00:16:51.220 --> 00:16:56.340
 as Daniel has been elevated, what has been happening over the last 25 years

00:16:56.340 --> 00:17:06.340
 is Daniel in his faithfulness to God and his service to Nebuchadnezzar has been witnessing and witnessing and witnessing and witnessing.

00:17:07.380 --> 00:17:17.140
 And now what we see is God is starting to do something in the midst of Nebuchadnezzar's lostness,

00:17:18.740 --> 00:17:24.340
 in the midst of all the brokenness that's there. You see, hopelessness needs hope.

00:17:25.380 --> 00:17:31.540
 And hope's message will come from God through Daniel.

00:17:33.140 --> 00:17:37.140
 The king sees Daniel and feels that Daniel is his hope.

00:17:38.420 --> 00:17:43.700
 But Daniel is simply the one who is going to share the message of hope.

00:17:44.260 --> 00:17:48.980
 Nebuchadnezzar tells him his dream. It's kind of weird, it's kind of jumbled, and so let's share some of this.

00:17:50.420 --> 00:17:56.180
 Nebuchadnezzar tells Daniel his dream. There's this beautiful tree that's so big that the entire earth can see it.

00:17:56.900 --> 00:18:02.260
 It provides shade to all who seek it, and food to all who desire it.

00:18:02.980 --> 00:18:07.540
 And an angel comes down from heaven and announces that there's going to be the destruction of the tree,

00:18:08.340 --> 00:18:12.180
 and the tree will be destroyed, but the stump will be left.

00:18:13.220 --> 00:18:19.300
 The roots will be left alive, and there will be a fence that is built around the tree to protect it.

00:18:20.100 --> 00:18:26.740
 And that tree is a man, and the man will end up giving his heart over

00:18:28.020 --> 00:18:31.060
 and begin to not have the heart of a man, but have a heart of a beast.

00:18:32.740 --> 00:18:37.860
 And begin to think that he is an animal, and act like an animal, and behave like an animal.

00:18:40.260 --> 00:18:44.740
 And the angel tells Nebuchadnezzar why this must take place.

00:18:46.020 --> 00:18:49.300
 So that Nebuchadnezzar will know that the Most High God, Daniel's God,

00:18:52.340 --> 00:18:57.620
 rules over all, and gives to whomever he pleases.

00:18:58.900 --> 00:19:05.220
 And so Nebuchadnezzar, the crazy, evil, pagan king, is once again scared.

00:19:05.780 --> 00:19:06.740
 He needs hope.

00:19:07.140 --> 00:19:18.020
 The only person who can give him more than advice, more than counsel, more than a positive outlook on life, is Daniel.

00:19:18.740 --> 00:19:22.340
 Because what Daniel's going to bring is the truth of God.

00:19:23.460 --> 00:19:25.140
 So join me in verse 19.

00:19:29.460 --> 00:19:36.100
 Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was dismayed for a while, and his thoughts alarmed him.

00:19:37.220 --> 00:19:38.740
 The king answered and said,

00:19:38.900 --> 00:19:42.460
 Belteshazzar, let not your dream or interpretation alarm you.

00:19:43.220 --> 00:19:44.660
 Belteshazzar answered and said,

00:19:44.740 --> 00:19:51.280
 My Lord, may the dream be for those who hate you and its interpretation for your enemies.

00:19:51.940 --> 00:19:59.740
 The tree you saw which grew and became strong, so that its top reached to heaven, and it was visible to the end of the whole earth,

00:19:59.740 --> 00:20:07.700
 whose leaves were beautiful and its fruit abundant, and in which was food for all, under which beast of the field found shade,

00:20:08.260 --> 00:20:10.700
 and whose branches the birds of the heavens lived.

00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:17.740
 It is you, O king, who have grown and become strong.

00:20:18.780 --> 00:20:25.440
 Your greatness has grown and reaches to heaven, and your dominion to the ends of the earth.

00:20:26.840 --> 00:20:31.480
 And because the king saw a watcher, a holy one, coming down from heaven and saying,

00:20:31.480 --> 00:20:36.020
 Chop down the tree and destroy it, but leave the stump of its roots in the earth,

00:20:36.900 --> 00:20:41.060
 bound with a band of iron and bronze, and the tender grass of the field,

00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:47.520
 and let him be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beast of the field,

00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:50.420
 till seven periods of time pass over him.

00:20:50.680 --> 00:20:52.320
 This is the interpretation, O king.

00:20:52.520 --> 00:20:55.500
 It is the decree of the Most High, which has come upon you,

00:20:56.440 --> 00:21:00.520
 my Lord the king, that you shall be driven from among men,

00:21:01.300 --> 00:21:04.400
 and your dwelling shall be with the beast of the field.

00:21:05.320 --> 00:21:07.800
 You shall be made to eat grass like an ox,

00:21:08.500 --> 00:21:10.540
 and you shall be wet with the dew of heaven,

00:21:11.540 --> 00:21:14.280
 and seven periods of time shall pass over you,

00:21:14.800 --> 00:21:16.460
 till you, get this,

00:21:17.740 --> 00:21:19.060
 till you know,

00:21:21.740 --> 00:21:23.300
 till you know

00:21:23.300 --> 00:21:29.040
 that the Most High rules the kingdom of men

00:21:29.040 --> 00:21:30.480
 and gives it

00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:33.240
 to whom he will.

00:21:34.940 --> 00:21:38.560
 And as it was commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree,

00:21:39.240 --> 00:21:41.780
 your kingdom shall be confirmed for you

00:21:41.780 --> 00:21:45.120
 for the time that you know the heaven rules.

00:21:46.460 --> 00:21:49.720
 Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you.

00:21:51.800 --> 00:21:54.520
 Break off your sins

00:21:54.520 --> 00:21:58.280
 by practicing righteousness

00:21:58.280 --> 00:22:01.200
 and your iniquities

00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:03.100
 by showing mercy to the oppressed

00:22:03.100 --> 00:22:06.640
 that there may be perhaps

00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:08.600
 a lengthening

00:22:08.600 --> 00:22:10.400
 of your prosperity.

00:22:13.600 --> 00:22:15.200
 Daniel comes

00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:18.740
 into the courtroom

00:22:18.740 --> 00:22:20.180
 of a madman

00:22:20.180 --> 00:22:24.640
 and says,

00:22:24.760 --> 00:22:25.520
 this dream is you.

00:22:27.360 --> 00:22:28.460
 It's going to fall apart.

00:22:28.600 --> 00:22:29.860
 We're going to get specific here

00:22:29.860 --> 00:22:30.760
 in just a minute.

00:22:32.360 --> 00:22:33.700
 But in spite of all

00:22:33.700 --> 00:22:35.800
 that Daniel could have taken on,

00:22:35.880 --> 00:22:36.620
 what Daniel does

00:22:36.620 --> 00:22:39.860
 is Daniel shares the truth of God

00:22:39.860 --> 00:22:41.820
 from the love of God.

00:22:43.120 --> 00:22:44.620
 We see the truth in love.

00:22:44.700 --> 00:22:45.280
 That's what it is.

00:22:45.740 --> 00:22:46.980
 It's the truth of God

00:22:46.980 --> 00:22:48.540
 through the love of God.

00:22:49.160 --> 00:22:50.300
 I believe,

00:22:51.040 --> 00:22:51.960
 I believe

00:22:51.960 --> 00:22:53.680
 that in this

00:22:53.680 --> 00:22:54.980
 that Daniel

00:22:54.980 --> 00:22:56.580
 genuinely

00:22:56.580 --> 00:22:58.540
 from God

00:22:58.540 --> 00:22:59.900
 has a heart

00:22:59.900 --> 00:23:00.780
 for Nebuchadnezzar.

00:23:01.800 --> 00:23:03.040
 He knows

00:23:03.040 --> 00:23:05.340
 what he's capable of

00:23:05.340 --> 00:23:07.140
 but Daniel

00:23:07.140 --> 00:23:07.800
 knows what

00:23:07.800 --> 00:23:08.940
 God's capable of

00:23:08.940 --> 00:23:09.320
 as well.

00:23:11.120 --> 00:23:11.600
 Look at,

00:23:11.740 --> 00:23:12.720
 back at the very beginning.

00:23:14.120 --> 00:23:15.640
 He was dismayed

00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:16.380
 and his thoughts

00:23:16.380 --> 00:23:17.360
 alarmed him.

00:23:19.120 --> 00:23:20.020
 He's anxious.

00:23:20.200 --> 00:23:20.960
 Daniel is.

00:23:21.820 --> 00:23:22.480
 The king said,

00:23:22.660 --> 00:23:23.420
 it's okay, buddy.

00:23:23.640 --> 00:23:24.140
 Tell me.

00:23:25.620 --> 00:23:26.440
 Tell me.

00:23:26.760 --> 00:23:27.420
 And he does.

00:23:28.300 --> 00:23:29.060
 So Daniel shares.

00:23:29.200 --> 00:23:30.180
 Here's the interpretation.

00:23:30.820 --> 00:23:32.280
 Here's the truth in love.

00:23:33.580 --> 00:23:34.020
 Nebuchadnezzar,

00:23:34.120 --> 00:23:34.600
 you're the tree.

00:23:35.340 --> 00:23:36.420
 And this tree

00:23:36.420 --> 00:23:37.660
 symbolizes your greatness.

00:23:39.300 --> 00:23:39.820
 Nebuchadnezzar,

00:23:39.960 --> 00:23:40.860
 you will continue

00:23:40.860 --> 00:23:41.540
 to be the tree

00:23:41.540 --> 00:23:42.820
 when the tree

00:23:42.820 --> 00:23:43.720
 is chopped down

00:23:43.720 --> 00:23:45.060
 and the roots

00:23:45.060 --> 00:23:45.800
 will remain.

00:23:47.340 --> 00:23:47.940
 Nebuchadnezzar,

00:23:48.740 --> 00:23:50.380
 you will live

00:23:50.380 --> 00:23:52.200
 like an animal

00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:54.340
 for a lengthy

00:23:54.340 --> 00:23:55.940
 period of time.

00:23:56.020 --> 00:23:56.700
 I want you to get this.

00:23:56.740 --> 00:23:57.420
 We're going to see this

00:23:57.420 --> 00:23:59.020
 fulfilled mentally.

00:23:59.320 --> 00:24:00.620
 A mental disorder

00:24:00.620 --> 00:24:03.580
 of biblical proportion

00:24:03.580 --> 00:24:05.520
 that a human being

00:24:05.520 --> 00:24:06.440
 believes they're an animal

00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:09.700
 and will function

00:24:09.700 --> 00:24:11.100
 and act

00:24:11.100 --> 00:24:12.940
 all the way

00:24:12.940 --> 00:24:13.680
 to the eating

00:24:13.680 --> 00:24:14.960
 of grass.

00:24:17.960 --> 00:24:19.300
 But all of this

00:24:19.300 --> 00:24:20.080
 will be done

00:24:20.080 --> 00:24:21.760
 to teach you

00:24:21.760 --> 00:24:22.300
 a lesson.

00:24:23.800 --> 00:24:24.680
 The lesson

00:24:24.680 --> 00:24:26.480
 that Nebuchadnezzar

00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:27.960
 has gained glimpses

00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:29.260
 into, right,

00:24:29.280 --> 00:24:30.160
 when he makes decrees

00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:30.840
 about the God

00:24:30.840 --> 00:24:31.920
 of Shadrach, Meshach,

00:24:31.980 --> 00:24:32.500
 and Abednego,

00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:33.520
 but he doesn't

00:24:33.520 --> 00:24:34.360
 separate them

00:24:34.360 --> 00:24:35.920
 from the polytheistic

00:24:35.920 --> 00:24:36.920
 culture of the day.

00:24:37.580 --> 00:24:37.860
 He says,

00:24:37.940 --> 00:24:38.740
 but you will come

00:24:38.740 --> 00:24:39.560
 to a place

00:24:39.560 --> 00:24:40.260
 through this

00:24:40.260 --> 00:24:41.520
 that you understand

00:24:41.520 --> 00:24:42.480
 that the,

00:24:42.700 --> 00:24:43.480
 that you will know

00:24:43.480 --> 00:24:45.640
 the most high

00:24:45.640 --> 00:24:46.180
 God,

00:24:46.600 --> 00:24:47.400
 Daniel's God,

00:24:47.700 --> 00:24:48.960
 rules over all

00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:49.860
 and gives to

00:24:49.860 --> 00:24:50.800
 whomever he pleases.

00:24:51.160 --> 00:24:51.620
 Nebuchadnezzar,

00:24:51.720 --> 00:24:52.300
 this is what you're

00:24:52.300 --> 00:24:52.920
 going to know

00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:55.640
 after an extended

00:24:55.640 --> 00:24:56.420
 period of time.

00:24:57.420 --> 00:24:58.860
 And when you come

00:24:58.860 --> 00:24:59.880
 to your senses,

00:25:00.780 --> 00:25:02.460
 when you come

00:25:02.460 --> 00:25:03.200
 to your senses,

00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:05.160
 you will gain

00:25:05.160 --> 00:25:06.040
 your kingdom back.

00:25:07.600 --> 00:25:08.580
 Look at verse 27.

00:25:09.920 --> 00:25:10.300
 Look back

00:25:10.300 --> 00:25:10.920
 at verse 27.

00:25:12.340 --> 00:25:13.540
 This is an interpretation

00:25:13.540 --> 00:25:16.400
 of a dream.

00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:19.060
 This is the truth

00:25:19.060 --> 00:25:19.460
 of God.

00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:22.000
 Of calling

00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:23.660
 to repentance.

00:25:24.640 --> 00:25:24.960
 Daniel says,

00:25:25.040 --> 00:25:25.420
 let me show you

00:25:25.420 --> 00:25:26.140
 the truth of God

00:25:26.140 --> 00:25:26.760
 from the dream

00:25:26.760 --> 00:25:27.560
 and let me show you

00:25:27.560 --> 00:25:28.320
 the truth of God

00:25:28.320 --> 00:25:28.960
 that applies

00:25:28.960 --> 00:25:30.340
 to all of mankind.

00:25:33.860 --> 00:25:35.180
 Break off your sins

00:25:35.180 --> 00:25:36.560
 by practicing righteousness.

00:25:37.940 --> 00:25:38.340
 Repent.

00:25:39.860 --> 00:25:40.260
 Repent.

00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:42.740
 Daniel preaches

00:25:42.740 --> 00:25:43.340
 the message

00:25:43.340 --> 00:25:44.240
 of John the Baptist.

00:25:44.440 --> 00:25:45.080
 Daniel preaches

00:25:45.080 --> 00:25:45.900
 the message

00:25:45.900 --> 00:25:46.580
 of Jesus.

00:25:47.120 --> 00:25:47.780
 Daniel preaches

00:25:47.780 --> 00:25:48.360
 the message

00:25:48.360 --> 00:25:49.680
 of Paul and Peter.

00:25:50.100 --> 00:25:50.980
 And Daniel preaches

00:25:50.980 --> 00:25:51.500
 the message

00:25:51.500 --> 00:25:52.360
 that God's word

00:25:52.360 --> 00:25:54.000
 calls us to repent.

00:25:55.220 --> 00:25:55.780
 Repent.

00:25:56.640 --> 00:25:57.080
 Repent.

00:25:57.280 --> 00:25:58.020
 Do what's right.

00:25:58.820 --> 00:25:59.780
 Be a man of justice.

00:26:00.280 --> 00:26:01.120
 Be a man of God.

00:26:02.300 --> 00:26:04.100
 Don't do godly things.

00:26:05.100 --> 00:26:08.000
 Be a man of God.

00:26:10.560 --> 00:26:11.340
 Join me verse 28.

00:26:13.600 --> 00:26:14.680
 All this came upon

00:26:14.680 --> 00:26:15.700
 King Nebuchadnezzar

00:26:15.700 --> 00:26:17.600
 at the end of 12 months

00:26:17.600 --> 00:26:18.280
 he was walking

00:26:18.280 --> 00:26:19.040
 on the roof

00:26:19.040 --> 00:26:20.620
 of the royal palace

00:26:20.620 --> 00:26:21.100
 of Babylon

00:26:21.100 --> 00:26:22.900
 and the king

00:26:22.900 --> 00:26:23.920
 answered and said

00:26:23.920 --> 00:26:25.540
 is not this great

00:26:25.540 --> 00:26:26.020
 Babylon

00:26:26.020 --> 00:26:27.500
 which I have built

00:26:27.500 --> 00:26:29.720
 by my mighty power

00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:31.140
 as a royal resident

00:26:31.140 --> 00:26:32.980
 and for the glory

00:26:32.980 --> 00:26:33.960
 of my majesty.

00:26:34.960 --> 00:26:35.300
 I don't know if there's

00:26:35.300 --> 00:26:35.860
 ever been a more

00:26:35.860 --> 00:26:36.540
 prideful verse

00:26:36.540 --> 00:26:37.020
 in the Bible.

00:26:38.780 --> 00:26:39.380
 One of the words

00:26:39.380 --> 00:26:39.800
 were still

00:26:39.800 --> 00:26:40.840
 in the king's mouth.

00:26:42.100 --> 00:26:42.780
 There fell a voice

00:26:42.780 --> 00:26:43.360
 from heaven.

00:26:44.480 --> 00:26:45.420
 Oh Nebuchadnezzar

00:26:45.420 --> 00:26:46.740
 to you it is spoken

00:26:46.740 --> 00:26:47.660
 the kingdom

00:26:47.660 --> 00:26:49.000
 has departed from you

00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:50.140
 and you shall be driven

00:26:50.140 --> 00:26:51.120
 from among men

00:26:51.120 --> 00:26:52.120
 and your dwelling

00:26:52.120 --> 00:26:53.100
 shall be with the beast

00:26:53.100 --> 00:26:53.760
 of the field

00:26:53.760 --> 00:26:54.880
 and you shall be made

00:26:54.880 --> 00:26:55.720
 to eat grass

00:26:55.720 --> 00:26:56.440
 like an ox

00:26:56.440 --> 00:26:57.440
 and seven periods

00:26:57.440 --> 00:26:57.860
 of time

00:26:57.860 --> 00:26:58.960
 shall pass over you

00:26:58.960 --> 00:26:59.920
 until you know

00:26:59.920 --> 00:27:00.760
 the most high

00:27:00.760 --> 00:27:01.820
 rules the kingdom

00:27:01.820 --> 00:27:02.320
 of men

00:27:02.320 --> 00:27:03.080
 and gives it

00:27:03.080 --> 00:27:04.080
 to whom he wills.

00:27:04.500 --> 00:27:05.100
 Immediately

00:27:05.100 --> 00:27:06.200
 the word

00:27:06.200 --> 00:27:06.880
 was fulfilled

00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:08.280
 against Nebuchadnezzar.

00:27:10.740 --> 00:27:11.780
 He was driven

00:27:11.780 --> 00:27:12.680
 from among men

00:27:12.680 --> 00:27:14.780
 and ate grass

00:27:14.780 --> 00:27:15.540
 like an ox

00:27:15.540 --> 00:27:17.420
 and his body

00:27:17.420 --> 00:27:17.920
 was wet

00:27:17.920 --> 00:27:18.360
 with the dew

00:27:18.360 --> 00:27:18.860
 of heaven

00:27:18.860 --> 00:27:20.620
 till his hair

00:27:20.620 --> 00:27:21.420
 grew as long

00:27:21.420 --> 00:27:22.600
 as eagle's feathers

00:27:22.600 --> 00:27:24.600
 and his nails

00:27:24.600 --> 00:27:26.180
 were like

00:27:26.180 --> 00:27:27.160
 birds' claws.

00:27:33.040 --> 00:27:33.280
 You see

00:27:33.280 --> 00:27:34.280
 God is patient

00:27:34.280 --> 00:27:34.720
 and true

00:27:34.720 --> 00:27:37.100
 God is patient

00:27:37.100 --> 00:27:37.560
 and true.

00:27:41.060 --> 00:27:42.600
 Back at verse 29

00:27:42.600 --> 00:27:45.240
 Daniel

00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:45.780
 who's been able

00:27:45.780 --> 00:27:46.460
 to correctly

00:27:46.460 --> 00:27:47.480
 interpret

00:27:47.480 --> 00:27:48.400
 the dreams

00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:48.860
 that God

00:27:48.860 --> 00:27:49.200
 has given

00:27:49.200 --> 00:27:49.880
 Nebuchadnezzar

00:27:49.880 --> 00:27:52.580
 says this is

00:27:52.580 --> 00:27:53.120
 going to happen.

00:27:54.280 --> 00:27:54.780
 No one else

00:27:54.780 --> 00:27:55.440
 can interpret

00:27:55.440 --> 00:27:55.920
 the dreams

00:27:55.920 --> 00:27:56.640
 of Nebuchadnezzar

00:27:56.640 --> 00:27:57.380
 but Daniel can

00:27:57.380 --> 00:27:57.940
 and Daniel's

00:27:57.940 --> 00:27:59.000
 showed faithfully

00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:00.000
 that he can do that.

00:28:00.100 --> 00:28:00.600
 Nebuchadnezzar

00:28:00.600 --> 00:28:01.160
 believes

00:28:01.160 --> 00:28:01.820
 that what

00:28:01.820 --> 00:28:02.440
 Daniel says

00:28:02.440 --> 00:28:02.880
 is true

00:28:02.880 --> 00:28:03.640
 and Daniel

00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:04.740
 says Nebuchadnezzar

00:28:04.740 --> 00:28:06.560
 this is what

00:28:06.560 --> 00:28:07.460
 is going

00:28:07.460 --> 00:28:08.220
 to happen.

00:28:08.700 --> 00:28:09.080
 Repent,

00:28:09.560 --> 00:28:09.900
 repent,

00:28:10.380 --> 00:28:10.780
 repent,

00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:11.460
 repent.

00:28:13.960 --> 00:28:14.840
 I think

00:28:14.840 --> 00:28:15.280
 sometimes

00:28:15.280 --> 00:28:16.240
 the perception

00:28:16.240 --> 00:28:17.020
 of the world

00:28:17.020 --> 00:28:18.120
 that our

00:28:18.120 --> 00:28:18.860
 God

00:28:18.860 --> 00:28:19.960
 is an

00:28:19.960 --> 00:28:20.420
 overly

00:28:20.420 --> 00:28:21.320
 impulsive

00:28:21.320 --> 00:28:22.720
 non-gracious

00:28:22.720 --> 00:28:23.220
 God.

00:28:25.980 --> 00:28:27.180
 Verse 29

00:28:27.180 --> 00:28:27.680
 though

00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:29.220
 at the end

00:28:29.220 --> 00:28:30.340
 of 12 months

00:28:30.340 --> 00:28:31.100
 he

00:28:31.100 --> 00:28:31.400
 being

00:28:31.400 --> 00:28:32.340
 Nebuchadnezzar

00:28:32.340 --> 00:28:33.240
 was on the

00:28:33.240 --> 00:28:33.920
 roof of the

00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:34.680
 royal palace

00:28:34.680 --> 00:28:35.260
 of Babylon.

00:28:36.900 --> 00:28:38.140
 12 months.

00:28:40.080 --> 00:28:41.380
 12 months.

00:28:42.900 --> 00:28:43.500
 God's patient.

00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:45.880
 God is patient.

00:28:46.800 --> 00:28:47.560
 God is patient

00:28:47.560 --> 00:28:48.400
 with Nebuchadnezzar.

00:28:49.360 --> 00:28:49.860
 God is patient

00:28:49.860 --> 00:28:50.320
 with you.

00:28:50.980 --> 00:28:51.460
 God is patient

00:28:51.460 --> 00:28:51.840
 with me.

00:28:52.340 --> 00:28:53.000
 How do I know

00:28:53.000 --> 00:28:53.840
 that God is patient

00:28:53.840 --> 00:28:54.320
 with you

00:28:54.320 --> 00:28:55.320
 and God is patient

00:28:55.320 --> 00:28:55.740
 with me?

00:28:55.920 --> 00:28:56.320
 Because we're

00:28:56.320 --> 00:28:56.780
 still breathing.

00:28:58.660 --> 00:28:59.240
 We're still

00:28:59.240 --> 00:28:59.580
 breathing.

00:29:01.380 --> 00:29:02.760
 Every moment

00:29:02.760 --> 00:29:04.020
 is a moment

00:29:04.020 --> 00:29:05.020
 of repentance.

00:29:05.580 --> 00:29:06.460
 Every moment

00:29:06.460 --> 00:29:07.740
 is a proof

00:29:07.740 --> 00:29:08.860
 that God

00:29:08.860 --> 00:29:09.520
 is good

00:29:09.520 --> 00:29:10.460
 and God

00:29:10.460 --> 00:29:11.080
 is loving

00:29:11.080 --> 00:29:11.980
 and God

00:29:11.980 --> 00:29:12.560
 is patient.

00:29:13.600 --> 00:29:14.560
 God is patient

00:29:14.560 --> 00:29:16.000
 but God's

00:29:16.000 --> 00:29:16.560
 also true

00:29:16.560 --> 00:29:19.100
 and God

00:29:19.100 --> 00:29:19.900
 does

00:29:19.900 --> 00:29:21.780
 exactly

00:29:21.780 --> 00:29:22.780
 what

00:29:22.780 --> 00:29:23.740
 he says

00:29:23.740 --> 00:29:24.820
 he's going

00:29:24.820 --> 00:29:25.280
 to do.

00:29:26.020 --> 00:29:26.640
 The most

00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:27.320
 powerful

00:29:27.320 --> 00:29:28.180
 man

00:29:28.180 --> 00:29:29.260
 in the world

00:29:29.260 --> 00:29:30.520
 becomes

00:29:30.520 --> 00:29:31.260
 consumed

00:29:31.260 --> 00:29:32.160
 in his mind

00:29:32.160 --> 00:29:32.780
 that he's

00:29:32.780 --> 00:29:33.180
 an animal.

00:29:34.800 --> 00:29:35.920
 He stops

00:29:35.920 --> 00:29:36.680
 speaking.

00:29:38.120 --> 00:29:39.120
 He stops

00:29:39.120 --> 00:29:39.720
 eating.

00:29:40.800 --> 00:29:41.680
 He physically

00:29:41.680 --> 00:29:42.900
 becomes hunched

00:29:42.900 --> 00:29:43.220
 over.

00:29:44.400 --> 00:29:45.260
 He feeds

00:29:45.260 --> 00:29:46.160
 from the ground.

00:29:47.700 --> 00:29:48.700
 He grows

00:29:48.700 --> 00:29:49.740
 out his hair.

00:29:50.060 --> 00:29:50.840
 He moves.

00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:52.000
 He acts

00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:53.360
 like a beast.

00:29:56.660 --> 00:29:57.380
 And God

00:29:57.380 --> 00:29:57.740
 said

00:29:57.740 --> 00:30:00.240
 Nebuchadnezzar

00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:02.280
 this is what

00:30:02.280 --> 00:30:02.780
 I'm going to do

00:30:02.780 --> 00:30:04.480
 and this is what

00:30:04.480 --> 00:30:05.660
 God fulfills.

00:30:10.120 --> 00:30:10.600
 34

00:30:10.600 --> 00:30:11.360
 through 37

00:30:11.360 --> 00:30:15.340
 At the end

00:30:15.340 --> 00:30:16.020
 of the days

00:30:16.020 --> 00:30:18.720
 I

00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:19.700
 Nebuchadnezzar

00:30:19.700 --> 00:30:21.420
 lifted

00:30:21.420 --> 00:30:22.020
 my eyes

00:30:22.020 --> 00:30:22.520
 to heaven

00:30:22.520 --> 00:30:26.620
 and my

00:30:26.620 --> 00:30:27.200
 reason

00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:28.620
 returned

00:30:28.620 --> 00:30:29.040
 to me

00:30:29.040 --> 00:30:32.420
 and I

00:30:32.420 --> 00:30:33.120
 blessed

00:30:33.120 --> 00:30:34.360
 the most

00:30:34.360 --> 00:30:34.740
 high

00:30:34.740 --> 00:30:36.440
 it's

00:30:36.440 --> 00:30:37.020
 changed

00:30:37.020 --> 00:30:39.400
 not

00:30:39.400 --> 00:30:40.700
 God's

00:30:40.700 --> 00:30:42.640
 the most

00:30:42.640 --> 00:30:43.100
 high

00:30:43.100 --> 00:30:44.920
 and praised

00:30:44.920 --> 00:30:45.780
 and honored

00:30:45.780 --> 00:30:46.580
 him who

00:30:46.580 --> 00:30:47.280
 lives forever

00:30:47.280 --> 00:30:47.940
 for his

00:30:47.940 --> 00:30:48.580
 dominion

00:30:48.580 --> 00:30:49.120
 is an

00:30:49.120 --> 00:30:49.680
 everlasting

00:30:49.680 --> 00:30:50.360
 dominion

00:30:50.360 --> 00:30:50.880
 and his

00:30:50.880 --> 00:30:51.340
 kingdom

00:30:51.340 --> 00:30:52.140
 endures

00:30:52.140 --> 00:30:52.840
 from generation

00:30:52.840 --> 00:30:53.540
 to generation

00:30:53.540 --> 00:30:54.320
 all the

00:30:54.320 --> 00:30:54.820
 inhabitants

00:30:54.820 --> 00:30:55.180
 of the

00:30:55.180 --> 00:30:55.540
 earth

00:30:55.540 --> 00:30:55.840
 are

00:30:55.840 --> 00:30:56.260
 accounted

00:30:56.260 --> 00:30:56.500
 as

00:30:56.500 --> 00:30:56.940
 nothing

00:30:56.940 --> 00:30:57.560
 and he

00:30:57.560 --> 00:30:57.940
 does

00:30:57.940 --> 00:30:58.380
 according

00:30:58.380 --> 00:30:58.800
 to his

00:30:58.800 --> 00:30:59.140
 will

00:30:59.140 --> 00:30:59.620
 among

00:30:59.620 --> 00:30:59.840
 the

00:30:59.840 --> 00:31:00.120
 host

00:31:00.120 --> 00:31:00.300
 of

00:31:00.300 --> 00:31:00.560
 heaven

00:31:00.560 --> 00:31:00.940
 and

00:31:00.940 --> 00:31:01.220
 among

00:31:01.220 --> 00:31:01.380
 the

00:31:01.380 --> 00:31:01.840
 inhabitants

00:31:01.840 --> 00:31:02.180
 of the

00:31:02.180 --> 00:31:02.420
 earth

00:38:15.560 --> 00:38:15.820
 you

00:38:15.820 --> 00:38:16.140
 and I

00:38:16.140 --> 00:38:16.380
 can

00:38:16.380 --> 00:38:16.820
 do

00:38:16.820 --> 00:38:18.020
 to

00:38:18.020 --> 00:38:18.340
 save

00:38:18.340 --> 00:38:18.900
 ourselves

00:38:18.900 --> 00:38:20.480
 the

00:38:20.480 --> 00:38:20.700
 Bible

00:38:20.700 --> 00:38:21.180
 tells us

00:38:21.180 --> 00:38:21.320
 that

00:38:21.320 --> 00:38:21.480
 we're

00:38:21.480 --> 00:38:21.980
 dead

00:38:21.980 --> 00:38:22.700
 in our

00:38:22.700 --> 00:38:23.660
 trespasses

00:38:23.660 --> 00:38:25.040
 and sins

00:38:25.040 --> 00:38:28.140
 so we've

00:38:28.140 --> 00:38:28.580
 gone

00:38:28.580 --> 00:38:30.300
 from a

00:38:30.300 --> 00:38:30.920

00:38:33.420 --> 00:38:34.180
 condition

00:38:34.180 --> 00:38:37.640
 that's

00:38:37.640 --> 00:38:38.000
 worse

00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:40.880
 that's

00:38:40.880 --> 00:38:41.240
 worse

00:38:41.240 --> 00:38:43.600
 take the

00:38:43.600 --> 00:38:44.080
 minds of

00:38:44.080 --> 00:38:44.360
 the world

00:38:44.360 --> 00:38:44.700
 you take

00:38:44.700 --> 00:38:45.200

00:38:48.000 --> 00:38:48.760
 sorcerers

00:38:48.760 --> 00:38:50.200
 and put

00:38:50.200 --> 00:38:50.480
 them in a

00:38:50.480 --> 00:38:50.620
 room

00:38:50.620 --> 00:38:51.020
 together

00:38:51.020 --> 00:38:52.540
 and say

00:38:52.540 --> 00:38:53.020
 what is

00:38:53.020 --> 00:38:53.620
 the way

00:38:53.620 --> 00:38:55.040
 that we

00:38:55.040 --> 00:38:56.520
 can save

00:38:56.520 --> 00:38:57.600
 ourselves

00:38:57.600 --> 00:38:58.640
 and there

00:38:58.640 --> 00:38:59.060
 is no

 you receive

00:42:01.060 --> 00:42:01.280
 it

00:42:01.280 --> 00:42:03.100
 you receive

00:42:03.100 --> 00:42:03.340
 it

00:42:03.340 --> 00:42:05.560
 you receive

00:42:05.560 --> 00:42:06.860
 the gift

00:42:06.860 --> 00:42:08.220
 of God

00:42:08.220 --> 00:42:09.480
 it's got to be

00:42:09.480 --> 00:42:10.000
 it's got to be

00:42:10.000 --> 00:42:10.680
 more complicated

00:42:10.680 --> 00:42:11.300
 than that

00:42:11.300 --> 00:42:11.780
 it's got to be

00:42:11.780 --> 00:42:12.520
 more complicated

00:42:12.520 --> 00:42:13.100
 than that

00:42:13.100 --> 00:42:14.160
 and I want to tell you

00:42:14.160 --> 00:42:15.100
 there's a lot of people

00:42:15.100 --> 00:42:16.100
 who try to make it

00:42:16.100 --> 00:42:16.720
 more complicated

00:42:16.720 --> 00:42:17.340
 than that

00:42:17.340 --> 00:42:18.520
 but it's not

00:42:18.520 --> 00:42:19.160
 more complicated

00:42:19.160 --> 00:42:19.760
 than that

00:42:19.760 --> 00:42:21.860
 the Bible

00:42:21.860 --> 00:42:23.160
 is so

00:42:23.160 --> 00:42:24.140
 simple

00:42:24.140 --> 00:42:25.020
 in the beauty

00:42:25.020 --> 00:42:25.700
 of the gospel

00:42:25.700 --> 00:42:26.720

 here's what Paul

00:42:28.660 --> 00:42:29.320
 says later

00:42:29.320 --> 00:42:30.560
 in Romans 10 9

00:42:30.560 --> 00:42:31.580
 if you confess

00:42:31.580 --> 00:42:32.640
 with your mouth

00:42:32.640 --> 00:42:34.040
 that Jesus is Lord

00:42:34.040 --> 00:42:34.940
 and believe

00:42:34.940 --> 00:42:35.780
 in your heart

00:42:35.780 --> 00:42:36.460
 that God

00:42:36.460 --> 00:42:37.180
 raised him

00:42:37.180 --> 00:42:37.880
 from the dead

00:42:37.880 --> 00:42:38.540
 you

00:42:38.540 --> 00:42:39.800
 will

00:42:39.800 --> 00:42:40.840
 be

00:42:40.840 --> 00:42:42.100
 saved

00:42:42.100 --> 00:42:45.200
 if we can

00:42:45.200 --> 00:42:45.940
 believe

00:42:45.940 --> 00:42:46.580

00:42:48.620 --> 00:42:49.380

00:42:49.380 --> 00:42:51.920
 may we

00:42:51.920 --> 00:42:52.660
 believe

00:42:52.660 --> 00:42:53.220

00:42:58.520 --> 00:42:59.140
 with your

00:42:59.140 --> 00:42:59.620

00:43:09.280 --> 00:43:09.860
 of God

00:43:09.860 --> 00:43:11.380
 not the

00:43:11.380 --> 00:43:11.680
 promise

00:43:11.680 --> 00:43:12.140
 of man
