02:42 Good afternoon. Have you have been blessed today?
02:46 Amen. I'm so inspired and so blessed, 02:50 but we have more to come. 02:52 I need you to do something for me, 02:53 if you're coming in, 02:54 I need you to take a seat and quiet down, 02:57 we've a wonderful program for you 03:00 this afternoon of music and testimony. 03:02 And here's what I love, 03:03 this year it's all going to be on being unashamed. 03:07 You're gonna be able to hear Outreach testimonies 03:10 and music that goes along with it. 03:12 This morning, I mean this afternoon, 03:15 I want to share with you a verse 03:16 that I read this morning. 03:18 It's in Isaiah chapter 43 and this is what it says. 03:22 Verse 10, you are my witnesses, 03:24 declares the LORD, 03:25 and my servant whom I have chosen, 03:29 so that you may know and believe me 03:32 and understand that I am he. 03:34 Before me there was no God formed and 03:36 there will be none after me. 03:38 I, even I in the Lord. 03:41 And there is no savior besides me. 03:44 The Bible tells us that, we are God's witnesses. 03:47 We need to be unashamed to witness. 03:50 So, we are going to, to share with you some 03:53 testimonies to bring glory to God's name alone. 03:57 Because the reason we are his witnesses 03:59 is so that we know that he is Lord, 04:01 that he is our savior and so others do as well. 04:04 And we're gonna hear music, 04:05 inspiring music on that as well. 04:07 As we began, I ask that you will bow your heads 04:10 with me for a word of prayer. 04:15 Almighty God, we are so thankful. 04:19 So, thankful that you want to be personal 04:21 and close to us. Lord, that you hear our cries, 04:25 you hear our calls. 04:26 Lord, I thank you that you never 04:28 grow weary of hearing us. 04:31 Lord, as we come to you right now we 04:32 ask that you bless our time together. 04:35 We ask that you pour out your spirit upon us, 04:38 Lord not 'cause we are good and deserving, 04:40 but because you are gracious and merciful. 04:43 I pray that right now as we hear music, 04:45 as we hear testimony that our hearts will be so 04:47 inspired that we will want to draw closer to you. 04:52 That we will want to share your word with others, 04:54 and I pray Lord that we will see clearly 04:57 what you have called us to do? 04:59 I pray this in Jesus name, amen. 05:02 Our theme this year is unashamed. 05:04 Whether you are in ministerial 05:07 or side of ministry God, 05:08 has called you to be a fisherman. 05:10 Our first song is by Jessica Hess. 05:12 And she wrote the song unashamed 05:14 for this conference. 05:37 Someone we pass by from their face it would seem 05:44 That they're carrying the whole world 05:53 And a still small voice says to us, 05:57 go and tell the world our love 06:00 Do we share with them of Jesus love, 06:04 Do we turn and walk away 06:11 Oh! We're ashamed of the Gospel of Christ 06:18 It has power to change the sinner 06:22 And to set the captives free 06:28 Why do we hide his precious truths 06:32 And keep them locked away. 06:36 Oh! Can we stand before our Holy God 06:40 and declare that we are unashamed. 06:57 Sometimes, we're afraid of being mobbed 07:02 And scorned for what we believe, 07:06 but our dear savior scorns so 07:10 And all for our sins. 07:14 Why should we be ashamed 07:18 of what his love has done for us 07:22 And as he bids us go into all the world. 07:27 Shall we not go up on the cross. 07:33 Oh! We're ashamed of the Gospel of Christ. 07:41 It has power to change the sinner. 07:44 And to set the captives free. 07:50 Why do we hid his precious truths. 07:54 And keep them locked away, 07:58 Oh! Can we stand before our Holy God and declare 08:04 That we're unashamed. 08:09 Oh! Can you see the tears that he cried, 08:14 the blood that he shed. 08:17 In the garden as he agonized over us. 08:26 Oh! If only in the whole world 08:30 could hear this Gospel story, 08:34 such a humbling rare relation. 08:38 It will make us cheat ourselves 08:44 We are not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ. 08:52 It has power to change the sinner 08:55 And to set the captives free. 09:02 Why do we hid his precious truths 09:05 And keep them locked away. 09:09 Oh! Can we stand before our Holy God and declare 09:15 That we are unashamed. 09:32 We are unashamed. 09:44 Amen, amen. 09:50 I have with me a young man named Jonathan, 09:54 who is unashamed. Amen. 09:56 Except for he was a little ashamed 09:58 that he was late for Outreach 10:00 I was a little late. Okay, 10:02 so he was late for Outreach. He missed the buses, 10:04 they were full, what happen Jonathan? 10:06 Well, after I got over my ashamedness. 10:09 I found three young men that 10:12 wanted to hit the streets around here. 10:14 And so we walked our ways and we didn't find 10:17 too many people being New Year's day. 10:19 And then all of a sudden we came up 10:20 on all of these apartment complexes. 10:23 And so, we got kind of excited that 10:24 people might be home on New Year's day. 10:26 And so we went to this one door at the apartment. 10:30 And we knocked on it and we heard, who is it? 10:34 I said, Oh! It's Jonathan. She goes who? 10:37 And I said, it's Jonathan. 10:39 And so she came to the door and I was like, hi, 10:41 I'm Jonathan and here's my three friends 10:44 and we're with Generation of Youth for Christ. 10:47 And well, she was like come on in it's cold outside 10:49 and we are very thankful 10:51 'cause it was very cold outside. 10:53 And so we started talking about, 10:56 you know, what the meetings and everything. 10:58 And she told us, she was like, you know, 11:01 I was praying that the Lord would send someone to me, 11:05 to teach me about the Bible, 11:07 we offered her Bible studies and then. 11:09 So, I asked her, I was like, 11:10 well can we pray with you right now. 11:12 And she said, yes, I would love for you to pray me. 11:15 I was like, is there anything specific 11:18 that you would like us to pray for and she said, 11:19 I'm really trying to kick the smoking habit. 11:23 And I said, okay. So, we, so we all, 11:26 she wanted to hold hands. 11:27 So, we all held hands and prayed there 11:29 that she would help stop smoking 11:31 and then afterwards I left her the flyer 11:35 for the Health Seminar and she said that 11:36 she would be sure to come on Sunday. 11:38 And it was just an amazing experience. 11:40 She gave us all big hugs 11:41 and she had a wonderful time. 11:43 Amen, amen. 11:44 So she was praying for someone to come. 11:45 So, even though you were late for Outreach. 11:47 That's right. It was a blessing from God 11:49 as she was reached. 11:50 That I was late. That you were late. Yes. 11:53 Thank you Jonathan.
