Hi, kids, you wanna
hear an amazing fact?
00:00:11.41\00:00:13.98
Most people
choose to have children
00:00:14.01\00:00:15.71
because they
want the baby to love
00:00:15.74\00:00:17.21
and they want to
be loved by the baby,
00:00:17.25\00:00:18.91
but one family in
Los Angeles in 1990,
00:00:18.95\00:00:21.98
they had a baby
specifically for the purpose
00:00:22.02\00:00:24.59
of saving their other child.
00:00:24.62\00:00:26.72
Back in 1989,
Anissa Ayala of Los Angeles
00:00:26.76\00:00:30.43
was diagnosed with
chronic myelogenous leukemia,
00:00:30.46\00:00:33.70
a bone marrow
transplant was her only hope
00:00:33.73\00:00:36.10
for a second chance at life.
00:00:36.13\00:00:38.20
But unfortunately,
neither of her parents
00:00:38.23\00:00:40.54
Mary and Abraham,
00:00:40.57\00:00:41.90
or her older brother
Aaron had a bone marrow
00:00:41.94\00:00:44.21
that matched hers.
00:00:44.24\00:00:45.81
Even after they launched
a massive national campaign
00:00:45.84\00:00:49.01
to find and recruit new donors,
00:00:49.04\00:00:51.21
not one was found
that had bone marrow
00:00:51.25\00:00:53.55
that matched Anissa.
00:00:53.58\00:00:55.48
That's when her
parents aged 44 and 42
00:00:55.52\00:00:58.52
decided they'd have another baby
00:00:58.55\00:01:00.29
to try to save her life.
00:01:00.32\00:01:01.92
Even though
they knew the chances
00:01:01.96\00:01:03.89
this new baby
were only one in four
00:01:03.93\00:01:05.99
that it would be
a bone marrow match,
00:01:06.03\00:01:07.86
they went ahead.
00:01:07.90\00:01:09.36
And incredibly Mary
did get pregnant at age 42
00:01:09.40\00:01:12.70
and their prayers were answered.
00:01:12.73\00:01:14.24
The new baby they named Marisa
00:01:14.27\00:01:16.57
turned out to
be a perfect match.
00:01:16.60\00:01:19.31
And at 14 months,
she donated her marrow
00:01:19.34\00:01:21.84
to her big sister
Anissa without of course having
00:01:21.88\00:01:24.51
much say in the matter,
00:01:24.55\00:01:25.98
the treatment
worked out perfectly.
00:01:26.01\00:01:28.32
Today, 20 years later,
Anissa enjoys perfect health
00:01:28.35\00:01:31.95
and is very close
to her younger sister.
00:01:31.99\00:01:34.62
You know, friends,
this is not the first time
00:01:34.66\00:01:36.86
that a baby was born
specifically to save others.
00:01:36.89\00:01:40.50
We're gonna learn more about
it in this Amazing Adventure,
00:01:40.53\00:01:43.26
so let's get on board
and discover together.
00:01:43.30\00:01:45.30
Well, good evening
everyone and welcome again
00:02:03.95\00:02:05.85
to Amazing Adventure, A
Journey for Life with Jesus.
00:02:05.89\00:02:09.69
I'd like to welcome
all of our young people
00:02:09.72\00:02:11.76
that are here this
evening, and also our friends
00:02:11.79\00:02:13.40
who are joining us
00:02:13.43\00:02:14.76
across the country
and around the world
00:02:14.80\00:02:16.13
part of our
amazing discovery journey
00:02:16.16\00:02:18.93
into Bible truth.
00:02:18.97\00:02:21.04
But before we get to
our study this evening,
00:02:21.07\00:02:22.94
we're gonna sing our theme song
00:02:22.97\00:02:24.94
"Life is an Adventure."
00:02:24.97\00:02:26.31
And I'm gonna invite
Pastor Doug to come forward.
00:02:26.34\00:02:28.34
Now, in the past when
Pastor Doug has come out
00:02:28.38\00:02:31.65
he has rung the bell
and when Pastor Doug...
00:02:31.68\00:02:34.82
Wait, wait when
Pastor Doug rings the bell,
00:02:34.85\00:02:37.32
I want us all to
say good evening,
00:02:37.35\00:02:39.55
Pastor Doug, all right?
00:02:39.59\00:02:40.92
So listen for
the bell. Here it is.
00:02:40.96\00:02:44.06
Good evening, Pastor Doug.
00:02:44.09\00:02:46.96
Good evening.
00:02:47.00\00:02:48.33
Are you ready for
an adventure tonight?
00:02:48.36\00:02:50.37
Yes!
00:02:50.40\00:02:51.73
I think we're
gonna stand together.
00:02:51.77\00:02:53.10
We're gonna sing
our song. We are.
00:02:53.13\00:02:54.90
Let's stand and we invite
00:02:54.94\00:02:56.27
our song
leaders to come forward,
00:02:56.30\00:02:57.64
Life is an Adventure.
00:02:57.67\00:02:59.01
Life is an
adventure Following the King
00:03:04.51\00:03:09.45
Every day with Jesus
Makes us want to sing
00:03:09.48\00:03:14.62
Walking in the spirit
00:03:14.66\00:03:17.36
He will lead the way
00:03:17.39\00:03:19.89
With His words who guide
us Scrolling deep inside us
00:03:19.93\00:03:25.20
Nothing can divide
us Following the King
00:03:25.23\00:03:31.94
Life is an
adventure Following the King
00:03:31.97\00:03:37.25
Every day with Jesus
Makes us want to sing
00:03:37.28\00:03:42.52
Conquering with
kindness Everywhere we go
00:03:42.55\00:03:47.99
Voices we are
raising Jesus we are praising
00:03:48.02\00:03:53.60
Life is so
amazing Following the King
00:03:53.63\00:03:59.53
Life is so amazing
00:03:59.57\00:04:03.07
Following the King
00:04:03.10\00:04:08.44
Amen. Thank you, singers.
00:04:08.48\00:04:09.98
You can make your way down.
00:04:10.01\00:04:11.75
But we do have
some Bible questions
00:04:11.78\00:04:13.45
that some of our
young people have asked.
00:04:13.48\00:04:14.88
And so we're
gonna take a look at
00:04:14.92\00:04:16.25
those video Bible questions.
00:04:16.28\00:04:17.89
Our first one for this evening.
00:04:17.92\00:04:20.56
Hi, my name is Sierra Simmons,
I am from Crofton, Maryland,
00:04:20.59\00:04:24.59
and I'm nine years old.
00:04:24.63\00:04:26.29
My Bible question is,
00:04:26.33\00:04:27.80
how do you give
your heart to God?
00:04:27.83\00:04:30.30
Oh, probably one of the
most important questions
00:04:30.33\00:04:32.97
that somebody can ask.
00:04:33.00\00:04:34.34
How do you give
your heart to God?
00:04:34.37\00:04:37.34
When we say heart,
often people think about
00:04:37.37\00:04:40.44
an emotional feeling.
00:04:40.48\00:04:41.81
They think
about your heart here,
00:04:41.84\00:04:43.18
they think about
a Valentine's heart.
00:04:43.21\00:04:45.55
In the Bible when it says,
"Giving your heart to God,"
00:04:45.58\00:04:48.35
it tells us in the Word of God,
00:04:48.38\00:04:49.88
"As a man thinks in
his heart so is he."
00:04:49.92\00:04:53.69
Do you think with your
pump or with your head?
00:04:53.72\00:04:55.32
Head.
00:04:55.36\00:04:56.69
When you give your heart to God,
00:04:56.73\00:04:58.06
you are giving your mind to God.
00:04:58.09\00:04:59.53
You're saying "Lord, I
am choosing to trust You.
00:04:59.56\00:05:03.33
I believe in You, I
thank You for Your love.
00:05:03.37\00:05:06.20
Lord, I'm helpless
unless You help me."
00:05:06.23\00:05:08.37
Be honest with God
and say, "I belong to you.
00:05:08.40\00:05:12.34
Will you change me?
Will you forgive me?"
00:05:12.37\00:05:14.08
And when you do that,
00:05:14.11\00:05:15.44
you are giving
your heart to God.
00:05:15.48\00:05:16.81
It's a choice to make,
to give your life to Him
00:05:16.85\00:05:19.78
and ask for His forgiveness.
00:05:19.81\00:05:21.65
And will He answer that prayer?
00:05:21.68\00:05:23.75
This is our subject tonight.
00:05:23.79\00:05:25.15
So you'll learn more about that.
00:05:25.19\00:05:26.69
Okay, very good.
00:05:26.72\00:05:28.06
Our next question that we have.
00:05:28.09\00:05:29.92
Hi, my name is Samuel,
00:05:29.96\00:05:31.29
I'm 12 years
old, from California.
00:05:31.33\00:05:33.23
And I want to know,
00:05:33.26\00:05:34.60
is it possible to
live without sinning?
00:05:34.63\00:05:36.50
All right, another
important question.
00:05:36.53\00:05:38.23
Is it possible for a
person to live without sinning?
00:05:38.27\00:05:42.70
Who first tempted
Adam and Eve to sin?
00:05:42.74\00:05:46.07
Satan. The devil.
00:05:46.11\00:05:48.04
Does the devil
still tempt people to sin?
00:05:48.08\00:05:50.21
Yes.
00:05:50.25\00:05:52.15
When the angel
appeared to Mary, and he said
00:05:52.18\00:05:54.98
"You're going to have a son
00:05:55.02\00:05:56.35
and you will call His name Jesus
00:05:56.38\00:05:57.99
because He will save His people
00:05:58.02\00:06:01.86
from their sins."
00:06:01.89\00:06:04.43
Do we all believe
the devil has the power
00:06:04.46\00:06:06.19
to tempt us to sin?
00:06:06.23\00:06:07.63
Yes.
00:06:07.66\00:06:09.00
Do you believe
that Jesus has the power
00:06:09.03\00:06:11.10
to save you from sin?
00:06:11.13\00:06:12.63
Yes.
00:06:12.67\00:06:15.07
Who's more
powerful, Jesus or the devil?
00:06:15.10\00:06:17.21
Jesus.
00:06:17.24\00:06:18.57
Now, if you're walking
with the Lord and you fall,
00:06:18.61\00:06:21.44
He'll forgive you.
00:06:21.48\00:06:22.88
But you should always try
00:06:22.91\00:06:24.75
as a Christian
to be like Christ.
00:06:24.78\00:06:28.22
You see, a Christian is
not a follower of Christians,
00:06:28.25\00:06:30.79
a Christian is a
follower of Jesus.
00:06:30.82\00:06:32.39
Was Jesus perfect? Yes.
00:06:32.42\00:06:35.59
Yeah, Bible says He did no sin.
00:06:35.62\00:06:38.73
And so if you're
following a perfect master,
00:06:38.76\00:06:40.80
you will always become
more and more like Jesus
00:06:40.83\00:06:43.77
as you follow Him.
00:06:43.80\00:06:45.70
But if you say, "Oh, well,
00:06:45.73\00:06:47.07
we're all
sinners and so why try"
00:06:47.10\00:06:50.01
your standard of
life is gonna go down.
00:06:50.04\00:06:52.74
So you always want
to seek to be like Jesus
00:06:52.77\00:06:55.34
and believe that He
can keep you from falling.
00:06:55.38\00:06:57.91
That's what it says
in the Book of Jude.
00:06:57.95\00:06:59.61
He is able to
keep you from falling.
00:06:59.65\00:07:01.75
He can save you from your sins.
00:07:01.78\00:07:03.79
Amen. All right.
00:07:03.82\00:07:05.45
Our next question that we have.
00:07:05.49\00:07:07.49
Hi, my name is
Ally, and I'm from Texas.
00:07:07.52\00:07:10.19
And my Bible question is,
00:07:10.23\00:07:11.93
why did they choose a
lamb to represent Jesus?
00:07:11.96\00:07:14.10
All right.
00:07:14.13\00:07:15.46
The question there was,
00:07:15.50\00:07:16.83
why does the Bible use
a lamb to represent Jesus?
00:07:16.87\00:07:19.73
You can see she's
probably on a farm
00:07:19.77\00:07:21.70
and there're some goats
and some animals around.
00:07:21.74\00:07:23.71
But why lamb? Why
does that symbolize Jesus?
00:07:23.74\00:07:25.67
That sounded like the
goat asked the question too
00:07:25.71\00:07:28.24
halfway through.
00:07:28.28\00:07:31.15
Well, you know,
lambs, it's interesting,
00:07:31.18\00:07:33.72
God used several shepherds
to become great leaders.
00:07:33.75\00:07:38.69
Abel, Abel was a
shepherd, Moses was a shepherd,
00:07:38.72\00:07:44.79
Joseph was a shepherd,
Abraham was a shepherd,
00:07:44.83\00:07:47.10
Jacob was a
shepherd, David was a shepherd.
00:07:47.13\00:07:50.97
God taught those
shepherds how to care for people
00:07:51.00\00:07:54.77
by taking care of
sheep because sheep,
00:07:54.80\00:07:57.01
domestic modern
sheep are kind of helpless
00:07:57.04\00:08:00.18
without someone
to help protect them,
00:08:00.21\00:08:02.08
and guide them, and feed them.
00:08:02.11\00:08:04.45
And so sheep
have been domesticated
00:08:04.48\00:08:07.48
for thousands of years.
00:08:07.52\00:08:09.22
So they're very dependent,
they're often innocent.
00:08:09.25\00:08:12.09
You don't hear too often
about a person on the news,
00:08:12.12\00:08:14.82
"Someone was attacked
and killed by a lamb today."
00:08:14.86\00:08:17.93
They're usually
pretty gentle animals.
00:08:17.96\00:08:22.16
And so God picked
this gentle innocent animal
00:08:22.20\00:08:26.10
to be a symbol of
Jesus, who is the Lamb of God
00:08:26.13\00:08:29.44
that takes away
the sin of the world,
00:08:29.47\00:08:31.11
which we have a
story about tonight.
00:08:31.14\00:08:33.88
All right, well,
with that, Pastor Doug,
00:08:33.91\00:08:35.24
we'll turn the time over to
you a very important lesson.
00:08:35.28\00:08:37.95
Thank you so much, Pastor Ross.
00:08:37.98\00:08:40.12
And thank you everybody,
00:08:40.15\00:08:41.68
both here in the local
church here in Michigan,
00:08:41.72\00:08:44.45
as well as our
friends who are watching
00:08:44.49\00:08:46.49
via the internet and
others who may be looking
00:08:46.52\00:08:49.22
in on television
00:08:49.26\00:08:50.66
to our Amazing
Adventure program.
00:08:50.69\00:08:52.63
Our lesson tonight is
talking about the only lifeboat.
00:08:52.66\00:08:57.67
And so God has a lifeboat
00:08:57.70\00:09:00.94
by which He is going to save us.
00:09:00.97\00:09:04.17
Now, remember our memory verse,
00:09:04.21\00:09:06.84
"Nor is there
salvation in any other,
00:09:06.88\00:09:10.11
but there is no
other name under heaven
00:09:10.15\00:09:12.25
given among men by
which we must be saved."
00:09:12.28\00:09:16.69
So years ago, back in
1914, they built one of the most
00:09:16.72\00:09:22.29
beautiful ships
that'd ever been built.
00:09:22.32\00:09:23.86
It was the biggest ship
in the world at the time.
00:09:23.89\00:09:26.23
You know, the name of it was...
00:09:26.26\00:09:27.60
Titanic. The Titanic.
00:09:27.63\00:09:29.63
In my office in California,
00:09:29.66\00:09:31.53
I've actually
got a piece of coal
00:09:31.57\00:09:34.47
that was on the
Titanic that they recovered
00:09:34.50\00:09:36.71
from the wreck.
00:09:36.74\00:09:38.11
That's 13,000
feet below the water,
00:09:38.14\00:09:40.81
they brought up
a bunch of things
00:09:40.84\00:09:42.18
and someone had some coal.
00:09:42.21\00:09:44.01
A friend of mine bought
a little piece of the coal
00:09:44.05\00:09:45.91
from the original
Titanic and they gave...
00:09:45.95\00:09:48.32
He send it to me as a gift.
00:09:48.35\00:09:50.39
And it's a reminder
that even though that ship
00:09:50.42\00:09:54.09
had some of the very best
00:09:54.12\00:09:55.46
and most modern
technology of mankind,
00:09:55.49\00:09:59.53
they said it was unsinkable.
00:09:59.56\00:10:01.46
They said we don't need
00:10:01.50\00:10:02.83
very many
lifeboats on the Titanic
00:10:02.86\00:10:04.43
because we built it
00:10:04.47\00:10:05.83
with 16 waterproof compartments.
00:10:05.87\00:10:09.34
And so even if it gets
punctured here or there,
00:10:09.37\00:10:13.07
it'll never sink.
00:10:13.11\00:10:14.64
So they didn't put
enough lifeboats on the ship.
00:10:14.68\00:10:17.11
Well, you know the story.
00:10:17.15\00:10:19.21
Four days into the first voyage,
00:10:19.25\00:10:22.22
beautiful calm water at night.
00:10:22.25\00:10:24.92
They were going too fast,
maybe not paying attention,
00:10:24.95\00:10:28.66
having too much fun
partying on the boat,
00:10:28.69\00:10:31.43
and they ran into an
iceberg that cut the boat
00:10:31.46\00:10:34.03
open from the bow, made
a rip about 300 feet back
00:10:34.06\00:10:37.57
and water began to pour into
all the different compartments
00:10:37.60\00:10:41.67
and they realized they
didn't have enough lifeboats.
00:10:41.70\00:10:44.41
The sad thing
is, a lot of people
00:10:44.44\00:10:46.47
did not want to get off the ship
00:10:46.51\00:10:48.14
into the
lifeboats they did have,
00:10:48.18\00:10:50.25
so some of the first
lifeboats that pushed off,
00:10:50.28\00:10:52.95
were almost empty.
00:10:52.98\00:10:55.65
And then it was too
late when people realized
00:10:55.68\00:10:57.62
the boat was going to sink.
00:10:57.65\00:10:59.82
And everybody was trying
to crowd into the lifeboats
00:10:59.85\00:11:02.32
and most of the
people on the Titanic drowned
00:11:02.36\00:11:06.96
because they were not thinking
00:11:07.00\00:11:08.66
about the
importance of the lifeboats.
00:11:08.70\00:11:11.07
You know, the Bible
tells us about a lifeboat
00:11:11.10\00:11:13.87
that God made back early
when He destroyed the world
00:11:13.90\00:11:17.97
because of their
sins, there was one lifeboat
00:11:18.01\00:11:20.48
who was the
captain of that boat?
00:11:20.51\00:11:21.84
Noah.
00:11:21.88\00:11:23.21
Noah, and the boat
was called the what?
00:11:23.24\00:11:25.18
Ark. Noah's Ark.
00:11:25.21\00:11:27.28
And there was only one boat.
00:11:27.32\00:11:30.32
And yeah, all had
to be on that boat
00:11:30.35\00:11:32.19
if you wanted to survive.
00:11:32.22\00:11:33.56
Now Noah and his family came,
00:11:33.59\00:11:34.92
most people didn't
get on the lifeboat.
00:11:34.96\00:11:37.26
But Noah not
only took his family,
00:11:37.29\00:11:38.69
what else did he take?
00:11:38.73\00:11:40.06
Animals. He took some animals.
00:11:40.10\00:11:41.73
You know, I just got a signal.
00:11:41.76\00:11:43.10
I think we've got a
guest visitor here tonight.
00:11:43.13\00:11:45.93
And so if I'm not
mistaken, yep, sure enough,
00:11:45.97\00:11:49.40
I've not even met this guest,
00:11:49.44\00:11:51.24
but we just had
someone come from Noah's Ark.
00:11:51.27\00:11:56.21
Hi, is it Seth? Yes.
00:11:56.24\00:11:58.45
And Seth, what do we have here?
00:11:58.48\00:12:00.32
This is a
Chinchilla and his name is
00:12:00.35\00:12:03.02
Mr. Chinchilla Man.
00:12:03.05\00:12:04.49
Mr. Chinchilla Man,
00:12:04.52\00:12:05.85
very creative like Monty Python.
00:12:05.89\00:12:07.26
Oh, yes. Yeah, got
a lot of funny names.
00:12:07.29\00:12:10.16
So he's a Chinchilla.
00:12:10.19\00:12:11.53
These guys they live
near the volcanoes and stuff
00:12:11.56\00:12:14.00
so they got really soft fur,
00:12:14.03\00:12:15.70
one of the softest
furs of any mammal so...
00:12:15.73\00:12:18.13
Do they work hard to
keep their coats clean?
00:12:18.17\00:12:20.00
Yes, they do.
00:12:20.04\00:12:21.37
They actually will roll
around in volcanic ash to try
00:12:21.40\00:12:24.61
and keep their coats clean.
00:12:24.64\00:12:26.51
You know, that's a
good lesson for us to do
00:12:26.54\00:12:28.98
everything we can to
keep our coats clean.
00:12:29.01\00:12:31.18
Jesus gives us
robes of righteousness
00:12:31.21\00:12:33.05
and we don't want
to get them dirty.
00:12:33.08\00:12:34.78
So can I pet him? Absolutely.
00:12:34.82\00:12:37.15
Oh, they're so soft.
00:12:37.19\00:12:38.75
Is it okay if I have a couple
of kids come up or maybe...
00:12:38.79\00:12:43.39
Now raise your
hands if you have not...
00:12:43.43\00:12:46.03
If you've not
been up here before.
00:12:46.06\00:12:47.40
All right, so
who are some people?
00:12:47.43\00:12:49.73
I was gonna bring
Isaac, you want to come up?
00:12:49.76\00:12:51.93
Yes. All right, come on up here.
00:12:51.97\00:12:53.30
Let me see. I'll
get two or three.
00:12:53.34\00:12:55.00
I'll let you come.
You've not been up yet?
00:12:55.04\00:12:56.67
No.
00:12:56.71\00:12:58.04
Well, there's other
things you hang tight.
00:12:58.07\00:12:59.41
We got more
happening here. Okay.
00:12:59.44\00:13:01.88
Mr. Chinchilla.
00:13:01.91\00:13:03.88
Now, is that the
softest thing you've ever felt?
00:13:03.91\00:13:06.01
Yes.
00:13:06.05\00:13:07.58
So tell us about
some of their habits.
00:13:07.62\00:13:09.38
What do they do?
00:13:09.42\00:13:10.92
Well, Chinchillas, they
really like to eat the grass
00:13:10.95\00:13:14.59
that's on the mountains.
00:13:14.62\00:13:15.96
So they'll climb up and
they like to keep it cool
00:13:15.99\00:13:18.29
because they got
this big thick fur,
00:13:18.33\00:13:20.20
and they like to hang
out with other Chinchillas,
00:13:20.23\00:13:23.20
so you'll see them
chatter with each other.
00:13:23.23\00:13:25.47
And they're nocturnal,
so they actually, you know,
00:13:25.50\00:13:27.94
kind of like it
more at the nighttime
00:13:27.97\00:13:29.30
as opposed to daytime.
00:13:29.34\00:13:30.67
So he's just
waking up right now?
00:13:30.71\00:13:32.04
Oh, yes. He's like...
00:13:32.07\00:13:33.41
Do they not eat
fingers? No, no, no.
00:13:33.44\00:13:35.51
Okay, I just want to make sure.
00:13:35.54\00:13:36.95
They're herbivores,
they love all the veggies.
00:13:36.98\00:13:38.98
That's what they
like. Well, thank you.
00:13:39.01\00:13:40.35
Let's all thank Seth for
showing us Mr. Chinchilla.
00:13:40.38\00:13:42.58
All right, kids, thanks.
00:13:46.52\00:13:49.76
Never dreamed we'd actually
have a visitor from the ark.
00:13:49.79\00:13:53.40
So Noah brought two of
all of the unclean animals,
00:13:53.43\00:13:58.83
clean animals were
brought on the arks by seven
00:13:58.87\00:14:01.74
and after all the animals
00:14:01.77\00:14:03.24
were on the ark they went
in just before the door shut.
00:14:03.27\00:14:07.38
Noah stood in
the door of the ark
00:14:07.41\00:14:09.81
and he said to
any of the people,
00:14:09.84\00:14:12.95
"Don't you wanna be saved?
00:14:12.98\00:14:14.82
Now is the time."
00:14:14.85\00:14:16.48
And the people said, "Well,
00:14:16.52\00:14:17.85
Noah, you've been
talking about rain for 120 years
00:14:17.89\00:14:20.02
and we've never seen it rain
00:14:20.06\00:14:21.39
and there's no clouds in the sky
00:14:21.42\00:14:22.86
and we're not so
sure it's gonna rain.
00:14:22.89\00:14:24.73
Maybe when we see the clouds,
then we'll get on the ark."
00:14:24.76\00:14:29.30
But when they
waited for the clouds,
00:14:29.33\00:14:30.67
it was too late.
00:14:30.70\00:14:32.27
He appealed and he
asked the people to come
00:14:32.30\00:14:34.60
but they didn't
come and finally Noah
00:14:34.64\00:14:36.20
and his family went inside.
00:14:36.24\00:14:38.17
The door of the ark was closed.
00:14:38.21\00:14:41.51
And then for seven days,
everyone made fun of Noah.
00:14:41.54\00:14:44.75
But then the rain came
and the thunder began to crack
00:14:44.78\00:14:49.38
and the clouds
gathered and water began to pour
00:14:49.42\00:14:53.02
in great cataracts from the sky,
00:14:53.05\00:14:55.22
and it began to
explode out of the earth,
00:14:55.26\00:14:58.33
and there was
this terrible flood
00:14:58.36\00:14:59.83
that changed the whole planet.
00:14:59.86\00:15:01.56
And the only ones that survived
were the ones in the lifeboat.
00:15:01.60\00:15:06.70
You know who the
lifeboat is in the last days?
00:15:06.74\00:15:09.20
Jesus. Jesus.
00:15:09.24\00:15:10.77
"Only those in Christ..."
00:15:10.81\00:15:13.07
the Bible says
that "will be saved."
00:15:13.11\00:15:15.14
We must be in
Jesus, we hide in Him.
00:15:15.18\00:15:17.71
He is our Savior,
He is our lifeboat.
00:15:17.75\00:15:19.98
So we're gonna go through
our lesson and talk about
00:15:20.02\00:15:22.12
how do we give our
hearts to the Lord?
00:15:22.15\00:15:24.05
How do we get on this lifeboat?
00:15:24.09\00:15:25.82
First question,
what has God done for us
00:15:25.85\00:15:29.39
to make a lifeboat for us?
00:15:29.42\00:15:32.03
Now we've read
this verse before,
00:15:32.06\00:15:33.63
John 3:16.
00:15:33.66\00:15:35.20
You want to say it with me?
00:15:35.23\00:15:36.87
"For God so loved the world
00:15:36.90\00:15:40.04
that He gave His
only begotten Son,
00:15:40.07\00:15:43.81
that whoever believes in Him
00:15:43.84\00:15:46.61
should not perish but
have everlasting life."
00:15:46.64\00:15:51.85
Now we read those
verses, you know those words,
00:15:51.88\00:15:54.48
but what does it mean
when it says "He gave His Son."
00:15:54.52\00:15:57.92
It was very painful
for God to lose His Son.
00:15:57.95\00:16:03.06
Years ago 1937, there was
a man named John Griffith.
00:16:03.09\00:16:09.03
He operated a
railroad draw bridge
00:16:09.06\00:16:11.67
over the Mississippi River.
00:16:11.70\00:16:13.44
Most of the time they
kept the railroad bridge up
00:16:13.47\00:16:16.37
until he got the
whistle that a train was coming.
00:16:16.40\00:16:19.11
He signaled back,
bring the train along,
00:16:19.14\00:16:21.71
he would lower the bridge
00:16:21.74\00:16:23.08
so the train
wouldn't have to slow down
00:16:23.11\00:16:24.45
cause they needed
to keep the bridge up
00:16:24.48\00:16:25.98
for all the ships and the boats
00:16:26.01\00:16:27.35
to go through
on the Mississippi.
00:16:27.38\00:16:30.22
One day John brought his
son Gregory with him to work,
00:16:30.25\00:16:33.42
his young boy about
five or six years old.
00:16:33.46\00:16:36.02
And they were
having lunch together
00:16:36.06\00:16:38.53
and he was
showing him the machines
00:16:38.56\00:16:40.43
and he wanted to
see how daddy worked.
00:16:40.46\00:16:41.96
And just then he
heard the whistle
00:16:42.00\00:16:44.50
and the radio go
say "Train was coming."
00:16:44.53\00:16:46.87
"So okay, you sit tight,
00:16:46.90\00:16:48.24
and you can
watch the train go by."
00:16:48.27\00:16:50.51
The father went up
and he radioed back,
00:16:50.54\00:16:52.47
"Tell the train
to come on through."
00:16:52.51\00:16:53.84
It's the Memphis
special 400 people on board and
00:16:53.88\00:16:58.71
"You don't need to slow down"
00:16:58.75\00:17:00.08
he said "I'm here,
I'll lower the bridge."
00:17:00.12\00:17:01.88
So the train started coming
and the father was up there,
00:17:01.92\00:17:04.32
he hit the switch and
the drawbridge machine
00:17:04.35\00:17:06.86
and the cable started to lower.
00:17:06.89\00:17:08.69
And then he heard "Help, daddy."
00:17:08.72\00:17:11.49
And he looked
down at the machine.
00:17:11.53\00:17:14.00
And he was
horrified to see his son Greg
00:17:14.03\00:17:16.97
had not listened to him.
00:17:17.00\00:17:18.33
He got up and he went
to watch the machine move.
00:17:18.37\00:17:20.87
And he didn't realize
there would be a cable
00:17:20.90\00:17:22.67
going behind him
00:17:22.70\00:17:24.27
and the cable had a
broken piece of cable
00:17:24.31\00:17:26.64
that was like a little hook.
00:17:26.68\00:17:28.14
It grabbed his clothes
and it began to pull him up
00:17:28.18\00:17:30.95
towards the machinery.
00:17:30.98\00:17:33.21
Gears, pulleys, the
father saw the train whistling
00:17:33.25\00:17:38.85
and it was coming towards him
and he thought, "What do I do?
00:17:38.89\00:17:42.32
If I stopped the drawbridge
that train will never be
00:17:42.36\00:17:45.06
able to stop in time.
00:17:45.09\00:17:47.40
The cars and all those people
00:17:47.43\00:17:49.66
are gonna go crash
off into the Mississippi
00:17:49.70\00:17:51.80
and many will drown.
00:17:51.83\00:17:54.17
If I don't, my
son will be lost."
00:17:54.20\00:17:58.14
He had a
terrible decision to make.
00:17:58.17\00:18:00.94
He decided that he
would sacrifice his son
00:18:00.98\00:18:04.65
to save all the people
and he let the bridge go down
00:18:04.68\00:18:06.92
and his son died.
00:18:06.95\00:18:08.28
He had to listen to his
son say "Daddy, help me."
00:18:08.32\00:18:10.22
And he couldn't save his son.
00:18:10.25\00:18:12.95
And then when the
people went by in the train,
00:18:12.99\00:18:15.16
there was a glass booth there
00:18:15.19\00:18:16.52
where they could
see the operator,
00:18:16.56\00:18:17.93
they could see John Griffith,
00:18:17.96\00:18:19.43
and all the
people were waving to him
00:18:19.46\00:18:21.33
as they went by.
00:18:21.36\00:18:22.96
And they didn't realize
that he just gave his son
00:18:23.00\00:18:26.40
so that they could live.
00:18:26.43\00:18:28.54
So many people in
this world don't realize
00:18:28.57\00:18:30.87
how much Jesus
gave so they could live.
00:18:30.91\00:18:34.18
And He says, "If you love
Me, then give your heart to Me."
00:18:34.21\00:18:37.45
He's happy to die for
you because He loves you.
00:18:37.48\00:18:41.28
Bible tells us that the
life preserver is Christ.
00:18:41.32\00:18:45.15
You can actually read in Jude 1,
00:18:45.19\00:18:47.26
"We are preserved in Christ."
00:18:47.29\00:18:50.76
Jesus is our life
preserver who saves us.
00:18:50.79\00:18:53.56
So how much does Jesus love us?
00:18:53.60\00:18:56.23
Does He really
love us that much?
00:18:56.26\00:18:57.60
Does He love me
personally, you might wonder
00:18:57.63\00:18:59.90
"I know He
loves the whole world,
00:18:59.93\00:19:01.67
but I'm not a
very good boy or girl.
00:19:01.70\00:19:03.24
Maybe He doesn't
really love me that much
00:19:03.27\00:19:04.97
'cause I'm pretty bad."
00:19:05.01\00:19:06.98
I'll tell you.
00:19:07.01\00:19:08.34
If you knew me
when I was your age,
00:19:08.38\00:19:10.01
I was a real scoundrel.
00:19:10.05\00:19:11.85
I used to steal.
00:19:11.88\00:19:13.92
My grandmother
caught me one day.
00:19:13.95\00:19:15.72
I stole a bow and
arrow from a drug store.
00:19:15.75\00:19:18.99
And she said, "I
don't know how you got it
00:19:19.02\00:19:20.36
out of the store in your pants."
00:19:20.39\00:19:22.29
But somehow, you
know, under my clothes,
00:19:22.32\00:19:23.66
I hid the whole bow and arrow.
00:19:23.69\00:19:25.49
She took me to
the police station
00:19:25.53\00:19:26.86
'cause she...
00:19:26.90\00:19:28.23
I had such a
problem of stealing.
00:19:28.26\00:19:29.90
She said, "You
better put the fear in him."
00:19:29.93\00:19:33.23
They said "If you
don't stop stealing, Dougie,
00:19:33.27\00:19:35.60
we're gonna put you in jail,
00:19:35.64\00:19:37.51
and you'll eat bread and water."
00:19:37.54\00:19:39.21
I said, "I don't care.
I like bread and water."
00:19:39.24\00:19:42.28
And my grandmother
whispered to the policeman
00:19:42.31\00:19:44.65
"Tell him he's only
gonna eat canned peas."
00:19:44.68\00:19:48.08
Oh, I hated peas.
00:19:48.12\00:19:49.45
And the policeman said
00:19:49.48\00:19:50.82
"All you're gonna
get is water and peas."
00:19:50.85\00:19:52.19
I said "Oh, I'm
gonna stop stealing."
00:19:52.22\00:19:55.02
I didn't want to steal
anymore, but I was a...
00:19:55.06\00:19:57.06
I got in a lot of
trouble when I was a little boy.
00:19:57.09\00:20:00.46
But, you know, I
came to realize Jesus
00:20:00.50\00:20:02.70
loves me so much,
00:20:02.73\00:20:04.40
He would have died just for me.
00:20:04.43\00:20:06.33
He loves you
individually so much
00:20:06.37\00:20:08.87
He would die just for you.
00:20:08.90\00:20:10.47
The Bible says in Romans 5:8,
00:20:10.51\00:20:13.01
"God demonstrates
His own love towards us,
00:20:13.04\00:20:15.81
in while we were sinners."
00:20:15.84\00:20:17.18
Jesus died.
00:20:17.21\00:20:18.55
He didn't say when
you get to be good enough,
00:20:18.58\00:20:20.15
then I'll die for you.
00:20:20.18\00:20:21.75
He loves you.
00:20:21.78\00:20:23.59
You know that
song Jesus loves me.
00:20:23.62\00:20:25.49
I'll tell you my verse.
00:20:25.52\00:20:27.22
Jesus loves me when I'm good,
when I do the things I should,
00:20:27.26\00:20:30.93
Jesus loves me when I'm bad,
even though it makes Him sad.
00:20:30.96\00:20:35.20
Yes, Jesus loves me.
Good or bad, He loves you.
00:20:35.23\00:20:37.93
Nothing separates
you from the love of God.
00:20:37.97\00:20:41.20
He says, "Yes, I've loved
you with an everlasting love."
00:20:41.24\00:20:44.97
God loves you more
than you love anything.
00:20:45.01\00:20:46.81
It's so hard for
us to even understand.
00:20:46.84\00:20:49.28
He says, "You are
precious in My sight."
00:20:49.31\00:20:52.25
"There is no created
thing, " Romans 8:38,
00:20:52.28\00:20:55.22
"that is able to separate us
00:20:55.25\00:20:56.92
from the love of God
that is in Christ Jesus,
00:20:56.95\00:20:59.09
our Lord."
00:20:59.12\00:21:00.56
Someone asked a
question about a sheep.
00:21:00.59\00:21:02.39
I'll tell you a story.
00:21:02.42\00:21:04.26
In Scotland years ago,
there was a lighthouse keeper.
00:21:04.29\00:21:07.96
And his job was to keep
the lighthouse light burning.
00:21:08.00\00:21:11.10
Every now and then...
00:21:11.13\00:21:12.47
the lighthouse was
over 100 feet high.
00:21:12.50\00:21:14.70
And every now and then
it was right on the coast
00:21:14.74\00:21:16.87
and there were some fields
00:21:16.91\00:21:18.24
where some sheep
would graze nearby.
00:21:18.27\00:21:20.11
And he was out on top
of the lighthouse one day,
00:21:20.14\00:21:25.21
there's a little railing
that walks around the top
00:21:25.25\00:21:27.65
so he could wash the windows
00:21:27.68\00:21:29.02
and keep the windows
clean on the lighthouse.
00:21:29.05\00:21:31.02
And he was walking around
and he was cleaning the windows
00:21:31.05\00:21:33.09
and he leaned back,
and he didn't realize
00:21:33.12\00:21:35.16
the railing had gotten
so rusty from the salt air
00:21:35.19\00:21:37.86
had corroded it
00:21:37.89\00:21:40.23
that it broke and he fell.
00:21:40.26\00:21:44.07
And as he's falling
through the air he thought,
00:21:44.10\00:21:45.90
"Oh, that's the end of my life."
00:21:45.93\00:21:48.37
Then he woke up, and he thought,
00:21:48.40\00:21:51.21
"I must be in heaven."
00:21:51.24\00:21:52.67
He saw clouds
floating by the blue sky.
00:21:52.71\00:21:56.71
And then he
thought, "If I'm in heaven,
00:21:56.75\00:21:59.01
why does my back hurt so much."
00:21:59.05\00:22:02.32
And he kind of
shook himself awake
00:22:02.35\00:22:03.79
and he realized he didn't die.
00:22:03.82\00:22:06.69
He landed on a sheep.
00:22:06.72\00:22:11.99
But the sheep died.
00:22:12.03\00:22:15.23
And he felt so bad.
00:22:15.26\00:22:17.60
That big, fat,
fluffy sheep broke his fall
00:22:17.63\00:22:22.34
and so the man lived.
00:22:22.37\00:22:24.31
You know, Jesus tells us
or the Bible tells us that
00:22:24.34\00:22:26.57
Jesus is the Lamb of God.
00:22:26.61\00:22:27.94
You read in John
1:29, John the Baptist,
00:22:27.98\00:22:31.71
when he
introduced Jesus, he said,
00:22:31.75\00:22:34.12
"Behold, the Lamb of God
00:22:34.15\00:22:36.58
that takes away
the sin of the world."
00:22:36.62\00:22:38.99
Jesus came to take away our sin.
00:22:39.02\00:22:41.42
Now, how exactly does that work?
00:22:41.46\00:22:44.16
All right.
00:22:44.19\00:22:45.86
So, here you got
Jesus, here you got sin,
00:22:45.89\00:22:51.33
here you got you and me.
00:22:51.37\00:22:52.80
So Bible says,
00:22:52.83\00:22:54.17
"Though our sins
be like scarlet."
00:22:54.20\00:22:55.94
So I'll just put a
little bit of it in here
00:22:55.97\00:22:58.21
and the more you put in here
00:22:58.24\00:23:01.28
you can see it's
starting to turn,
00:23:01.31\00:23:03.41
it gets red.
00:23:03.45\00:23:07.18
So sin, it contaminates
and it pollutes our lives.
00:23:07.22\00:23:12.75
But no matter what happens,
00:23:12.79\00:23:14.76
Jesus was tempted by
the devil many times but...
00:23:14.79\00:23:19.89
You notice, He never sinned.
00:23:19.93\00:23:23.00
The devil tried and
tried to tempt Jesus,
00:23:23.03\00:23:25.10
but it wouldn't work.
00:23:25.13\00:23:27.04
But when you and I
get sin in us, you know,
00:23:27.07\00:23:30.71
it just, it makes us worse.
00:23:30.74\00:23:35.14
More sin, darker it gets.
00:23:35.18\00:23:39.31
But if you put
the sin in Jesus...
00:23:39.35\00:23:42.42
Sin...
00:23:47.12\00:23:48.46
Bible says, God is
not tempted with evil.
00:23:48.49\00:23:50.63
Every good and
perfect gift is from God.
00:23:50.66\00:23:52.86
God doesn't sin. Makes us worse.
00:23:52.89\00:23:57.27
But the solution is, I wonder
what happens if you put Jesus.
00:23:57.30\00:24:02.40
Oh, no, there's
not near enough sin
00:24:02.44\00:24:03.77
in here right now let's...
00:24:03.81\00:24:05.44
I want you to see then.
00:24:05.47\00:24:06.81
But what happens
if we accept Jesus
00:24:12.61\00:24:14.75
into our lives?
00:24:14.78\00:24:17.75
While we were yet
sinners, Jesus loved us,
00:24:17.79\00:24:19.82
He comes into our
lives and He purifies us,
00:24:19.85\00:24:24.76
and someday what is Jesus
00:24:24.79\00:24:26.33
gonna do to the
sin in the world?
00:24:26.36\00:24:31.00
And the whole
universe is gonna be clean.
00:24:31.03\00:24:34.10
And if you use that,
00:24:34.14\00:24:35.47
that will clean
your clothes too.
00:24:35.50\00:24:36.84
All right, thank you very
much. I'm going to get my...
00:24:36.87\00:24:39.87
You know, the most important

It's a miracle how
God cleans us from sin.
00:25:40.34\00:25:44.07
You know, somebody asked
00:25:44.11\00:25:45.44
the preacher
Billy Sunday one time.
00:25:45.47\00:25:48.34
They said, "How can the blood
of Jesus wash away my sin?"
00:25:48.38\00:25:51.61
You know what he said?
00:25:51.65\00:25:53.11
"I don't know how a
black cow can eat green grass
00:25:53.15\00:25:58.49
and make yellow
butter and white milk.
00:25:58.52\00:26:02.49
Black cow eats green grass,
00:26:02.52\00:26:04.46
makes yellow
butter and white milk.
00:26:04.49\00:26:06.26
He said "I don't understand
it, but I enjoy ice cream."
00:26:06.29\00:26:10.17
You don't have to
understand it all to enjoy it.
00:26:10.20\00:26:14.00
It is a miracle that
God takes away our sins.
00:26:14.04\00:26:16.34
But trust me, He did it
for me, He will do it for you.
00:26:16.37\00:26:19.64
Number three, what did
Jesus come to do for me?
00:26:19.67\00:26:24.08
The Bible says,
00:26:24.11\00:26:25.45
"God sent His only
begotten Son into the world,
00:26:25.48\00:26:28.92
that we might live through Him."
00:26:28.95\00:26:31.59
And this is the love of
God, not that we love God,
00:26:31.62\00:26:34.29
but it starts
because of His love for us.
00:26:34.32\00:26:37.26
In that He loves us,
00:26:37.29\00:26:39.89
and He sent His
son, this is a big word,
00:26:39.93\00:26:42.00
"to be the propitiation,"
00:26:42.03\00:26:43.37
that means the atoning
sacrifice for our sins.
00:26:43.40\00:26:47.34
Now, why is this
so important to us?
00:26:47.37\00:26:50.24
Because the
penalty for sin is death,
00:26:50.27\00:26:54.18
but God is offering us a
gift, a gift of eternal life.
00:26:54.21\00:26:57.75
All right, I need a
volunteer. Let me see here.
00:26:57.78\00:27:00.88
I'm gonna go find someone here,
00:27:00.92\00:27:02.72
you can't move but if
you've raised your hand
00:27:02.75\00:27:04.62
before, let me see here.
00:27:04.65\00:27:06.49
Young man right here,
you can come up, okay.
00:27:09.76\00:27:12.33
Now nobody...
00:27:12.36\00:27:13.70
You're getting a really
special opportunity right now.
00:27:13.73\00:27:17.33
Because several people
have been in the treasure chest
00:27:17.37\00:27:20.17
but nobody's been
in the captain's cabin.
00:27:20.20\00:27:22.90
You know this
boat, the SS or HMS
00:27:22.94\00:27:25.81
Adventure has a lifeboat.
00:27:25.84\00:27:28.61
Are you strong? I want you to...
00:27:28.64\00:27:30.21
You're pretty good.
00:27:30.25\00:27:31.58
Go in there, there's a
little lifeboat in there.
00:27:31.61\00:27:33.65
Open that door and
look, I want you to see
00:27:33.68\00:27:36.05
if you can find the lifeboat.
00:27:36.08\00:27:37.42
You got to pick it
up, it's a little heavy
00:27:37.45\00:27:38.79
and bring it out with you.
00:27:38.82\00:27:40.46
Do you see a little
boat there? That's it.
00:27:40.49\00:27:44.99
All right.
00:27:45.03\00:27:46.86
Very good.
00:27:46.90\00:27:48.30
That's a good boy.
He even closed the door.
00:27:48.33\00:27:50.07
Well trained.
What was your name?
00:27:50.10\00:27:52.67
Jayden. Jayden?
00:27:52.70\00:27:54.34
Okay, Jayden, and I
want to tell you a story.
00:27:54.37\00:27:56.14
There was a boy...
00:27:56.17\00:27:57.51
That's not too
heavy for you, is it?
00:27:57.54\00:27:58.87
Okay.
00:27:58.91\00:28:00.24
There was a boy,
he built a model boat.
00:28:00.28\00:28:03.41
He lived by the
river, he loved sailboats.
00:28:03.45\00:28:06.75
And so he spent a
lot of time and he carved
00:28:06.78\00:28:08.85
and he got the
sail, and he sewed
00:28:08.88\00:28:11.09
and he made
himself a model boat,
00:28:11.12\00:28:12.92
and he put it on a string.
00:28:12.95\00:28:14.29
And he let it
go out in the river
00:28:14.32\00:28:15.82
when the wind was
blowing a little bit
00:28:15.86\00:28:17.19
he'd sail it up
and down the river,
00:28:17.23\00:28:18.63
and he pulled it back across,
00:28:18.66\00:28:20.00
and he had so much
fun with this boat.
00:28:20.03\00:28:21.36
This was years ago.
00:28:21.40\00:28:23.00
One day the wind
was really blowing
00:28:23.03\00:28:24.60
and he didn't have the
string tied very tight.
00:28:24.63\00:28:27.70
And the boat blew away from him.
00:28:27.74\00:28:30.97
And his beloved
sailboat drifted down the river.
00:28:31.01\00:28:36.18
And he was so sad.
00:28:36.21\00:28:37.55
He had spent days
and weeks making it
00:28:37.58\00:28:39.81
and now it was gone.
00:28:39.85\00:28:41.98
A couple weeks
later, he was in town,
00:28:42.02\00:28:44.69
town nearby where
they did their shopping
00:28:44.72\00:28:46.15
and what do you
think he saw in the window
00:28:46.19\00:28:48.42
of one of the pawn shops there?
00:28:48.46\00:28:51.09
There was his boat.
00:28:51.13\00:28:53.16
And he was so excited,
he went and he told the man
00:28:53.19\00:28:54.90
he said "That boat...
00:28:54.93\00:28:56.26
That's my boat."
00:28:56.30\00:28:57.63
Man looked a little
trouble, he said, "Well,
00:28:57.67\00:29:00.04
maybe that's your boat
but someone sold it to me.
00:29:00.07\00:29:03.04
And I've paid
$20 for that boat."
00:29:03.07\00:29:05.37
He did a really
good job making the boat.
00:29:05.41\00:29:08.54
He said, "But it's my boat."
00:29:08.58\00:29:09.91
And the man said, "Look, I
bought it so I could sell it
00:29:09.94\00:29:12.35
and make a profit.
00:29:12.38\00:29:13.72
I'll make a deal.
I will sell it you...
00:29:13.75\00:29:16.28
Sell it back to
you for the same price
00:29:16.32\00:29:19.42
that I bought it for."
00:29:19.45\00:29:21.89
And he said $20. He said $20.
00:29:21.92\00:29:26.70
Well, he would mow
lawns for 50 cents.
00:29:26.73\00:29:30.07
So how many lawns
that he have to mow?
00:29:30.10\00:29:32.10
Forty. Forty, some
good math students.
00:29:32.13\00:29:34.24
He had to mow 40
lawns and finally came back
00:29:34.27\00:29:37.84
and he handed the man $40.
00:29:37.87\00:29:40.01
He didn't realize his
boat was worth so much
00:29:40.04\00:29:41.84
but as he walked away, he
handed him $20, thank you.
00:29:41.88\00:29:47.18
He didn't realize
his boat was so valuable
00:29:47.22\00:29:50.59
and he walked away
and he looked at his boat
00:29:50.62\00:29:52.12
and he started talking to
it, he says "You are my boat."
00:29:52.15\00:29:54.92
Says, "You are double my boat."
00:29:54.96\00:29:56.73
Says, "You are my boat
00:29:56.76\00:29:58.09
because I made you
and you are my boat
00:29:58.13\00:30:00.46
because I redeemed you.
00:30:00.50\00:30:02.30
I bought you back."
00:30:02.33\00:30:03.90
He says, "You're my boat twice".
00:30:03.93\00:30:06.40
I'll tell you what
I'm going to do for you.
00:30:06.43\00:30:09.54
"I'm going to give you
a better boat tomorrow.
00:30:09.57\00:30:11.07
Are you coming back?"
00:30:11.11\00:30:12.47
You come back tomorrow Jayden,
I'm gonna give you a boat.
00:30:12.51\00:30:14.48
This one's
borrowed for the night.
00:30:14.51\00:30:15.84
How's that sound? We got a deal?
00:30:15.88\00:30:17.35
All right, thank you very
much. Let's give him a hand.
00:30:17.38\00:30:19.35
Poor Jayden had to stand
there and hold the heavy boat.
00:30:25.62\00:30:29.06
How do I accept
Jesus and truly show that
00:30:29.09\00:30:32.53
I believe in Him?
00:30:32.56\00:30:34.76
What do we do?
00:30:34.80\00:30:36.30
Well, the Bible says, "Ask
and it will be given to you."
00:30:36.33\00:30:40.24
So if you want eternal life,
00:30:40.27\00:30:42.50
do you have to climb a mountain?
00:30:42.54\00:30:44.94
In order to get eternal life,
00:30:44.97\00:30:46.31
do you have to whip
yourself or crawl on your knees?
00:30:46.34\00:30:49.64
Jesus says, what do we do?
00:30:49.68\00:30:52.21
Ask right there ask
and it will be given.
00:30:52.25\00:30:55.78
If we come to Him,
there is a thief on the cross
00:30:55.82\00:30:58.39
who is dying next
to Jesus and you know,
00:30:58.42\00:31:01.42
he prayed one of
his final prayers
00:31:01.46\00:31:03.32
he said, Lord, remember me
00:31:03.36\00:31:05.46
when You come into Your kingdom,
00:31:05.49\00:31:06.83
and did Jesus hear his prayer?
00:31:06.86\00:31:08.86
And He promised
He would give him
00:31:08.90\00:31:10.23
everlasting life.
00:31:10.27\00:31:11.93
Acts 16:31, ask and
what else do you do?
00:31:11.97\00:31:15.00
Believe.
00:31:15.04\00:31:17.11
"Believe on the
Lord Jesus Christ
00:31:17.14\00:31:18.91
and you will be saved."
00:31:18.94\00:31:20.38
So it's not just
asking, when you ask, believe.
00:31:20.41\00:31:22.71
Let me tell you a story.
00:31:22.74\00:31:24.35
When I was a young
Christian, I was 17 years old,
00:31:24.38\00:31:27.15
little older than most of
you when I accepted the Lord.
00:31:27.18\00:31:29.62
I didn't know
much about praying,
00:31:29.65\00:31:31.19
but when I
realized the Bible was true,
00:31:31.22\00:31:33.72
I learned from reading prophecy,
00:31:33.76\00:31:35.49
I would pray the
most amazing things.
00:31:35.52\00:31:38.19
I was standing on
the road hitchhiking,
00:31:38.23\00:31:39.79
I said, "Lord,
please help me get a ride
00:31:39.83\00:31:41.96
from Oklahoma to California.
00:31:42.00\00:31:43.47
I need some
money and some food."
00:31:43.50\00:31:45.83
Soon as I finished
praying, car picked me up,
00:31:45.87\00:31:48.70
took me 2000
miles, almost 2000 miles,
00:31:48.74\00:31:51.87
fed me all the way
out and gave me money
00:31:51.91\00:31:54.51
and I didn't ask for
it, I'd ask the Lord.
00:31:54.54\00:31:57.08
I remember I was
with a friend one time
00:31:57.11\00:31:59.11
we were, I had no money.
00:31:59.15\00:32:00.48
We were playing
the guitar and begging.
00:32:00.52\00:32:02.38
I played the flute.
00:32:02.42\00:32:03.75
My friend, his
name was Doug also.
00:32:03.79\00:32:05.12
Doug played the
guitar. And I played the flute.
00:32:05.15\00:32:07.76
And I was
telling him about Jesus.
00:32:07.79\00:32:10.73
He said, "I'm not so
sure I believe in Jesus."
00:32:10.76\00:32:13.03
He said, "I believe in,
00:32:13.06\00:32:14.40
you know,
reincarnation and these."
00:32:14.43\00:32:15.76
I said, "No, Jesus is real."
00:32:15.80\00:32:17.13
I said, "Doug,
I'll prove it to you."
00:32:17.17\00:32:18.97
He said, "How you
going to prove it to me?
00:32:19.00\00:32:20.77
I said, "Well, we're trying
00:32:20.80\00:32:22.14
to get some
money to eat, right?"
00:32:22.17\00:32:24.31
So he said, "Yeah, I said,
"How much money do we need?"
00:32:24.34\00:32:27.91
He said, "Well, it'd
be great if we got $4.
00:32:27.94\00:32:29.98
We could probably
eat in a restaurant
00:32:30.01\00:32:31.55
instead of just
going to the supermarket."
00:32:31.58\00:32:33.01
Back then you could eat $2
00:32:33.05\00:32:34.78
you could buy a
meal in a restaurant.
00:32:34.82\00:32:37.32
And so I know
it's amazing, isn't it?
00:32:37.35\00:32:40.69
Taco Bell, you're
still pretty close.
00:32:40.72\00:32:42.62
So I said, "I
tell you what, Doug,
00:32:42.66\00:32:45.46
I'm going to ask
Jesus to give us $4
00:32:45.49\00:32:48.50
and He's going to
prove that He's real."
00:32:48.53\00:32:51.10
I had so much faith
back then. I believed.
00:32:51.13\00:32:54.57
So we saw lady walking up
the street in Palm Springs
00:32:54.60\00:32:57.61
and she was a
dignified looking lady,
00:32:57.64\00:32:59.87
and we started to
play, I played my flute,
00:32:59.91\00:33:01.68
he played the guitar.
00:33:01.71\00:33:03.04
She stopped for
a moment to listen.
00:33:03.08\00:33:04.41
And then when we
got done playing,
00:33:04.45\00:33:06.61
we said, "Miss, would
you have any spare change?
00:33:06.65\00:33:08.68
We'd like to get
something to eat."
00:33:08.72\00:33:10.05
She looked a little
surprised by our question.
00:33:10.09\00:33:11.42
She said,
"Normally, I wouldn't do this.
00:33:11.45\00:33:15.32
But you're both
about the age of my son."
00:33:15.36\00:33:19.73
And so she reached in
her purse, and she said,
00:33:19.76\00:33:21.90
"How would $4 help?"
00:33:21.93\00:33:24.80
And Doug looked at me.
00:33:24.83\00:33:26.77
And after that Doug
started praying to Jesus.
00:33:26.80\00:33:30.97
And we, I saw so many miracles,
00:33:31.01\00:33:33.27
when you pray, things happen,
00:33:33.31\00:33:34.98
sometimes the answer
doesn't come right away.
00:33:35.01\00:33:36.61
But you look
back and you say, ah,
00:33:36.64\00:33:38.28
God answered our prayer.
00:33:38.31\00:33:39.91
God has answered thousands
00:33:39.95\00:33:41.32
and thousands of prayers for me.
00:33:41.35\00:33:42.82
Believe, so
what's the most important
00:33:42.85\00:33:44.29
prayer you can pray?
00:33:44.32\00:33:46.45
Lord, forgive my
sins, accept me as a child
00:33:46.49\00:33:51.43
and give me the
gift of everlasting life
00:33:51.46\00:33:53.53
and He will do it.
00:33:53.56\00:33:55.33
Why don't more
people ask for it?
00:33:55.36\00:33:57.37
He wants to give it to them.
00:33:57.40\00:33:59.73
And why do we love the Lord?
00:33:59.77\00:34:02.50
"We love Him
'cause He first loved us."
00:34:02.54\00:34:05.47
When you look at the cross
00:34:05.51\00:34:07.28
and you see how
much He loves you,
00:34:07.31\00:34:09.94
it makes you
want to love Him back.
00:34:09.98\00:34:11.98
The Bible says,
00:34:12.01\00:34:13.35
"The goodness of God
leads us to repentance."
00:34:13.38\00:34:16.72
When we see His goodness,
we become aware of our badness
00:34:16.75\00:34:19.62
and then we're sorry.
00:34:19.65\00:34:21.72
Now, it's
important that you know
00:34:21.76\00:34:24.83
who knows what repentance means.
00:34:24.86\00:34:27.30
Repentance means
being sorry for your sins
00:34:27.33\00:34:30.80
and a willingness to stop.
00:34:30.83\00:34:32.17
For example, like,
00:34:32.20\00:34:33.54
if I'm walking in this direction
00:34:33.57\00:34:36.14
and I realize that
I'm going the wrong way.
00:34:36.17\00:34:38.61
See, I went to military school.
00:34:38.64\00:34:40.28
They taught us
how to do about-face.
00:34:40.31\00:34:42.64
And then you walk this way.
00:34:42.68\00:34:44.01
Repentance is
when you turn around.
00:34:44.05\00:34:45.85
And so repentance
means you change directions.
00:34:45.88\00:34:50.85
Yeah, and you're on
the road to destruction.
00:34:50.89\00:34:55.16
You change directions
and you follow the Lord.
00:34:55.19\00:34:59.16
So telling the
Lord you're sorry.
00:34:59.19\00:35:01.03
How many of you
remember every sin
00:35:01.06\00:35:02.46
you've ever committed?
00:35:02.50\00:35:04.83
Well, not too many of
you can remember all your...
00:35:04.87\00:35:06.84
No, you don't
remember all your sins.
00:35:06.87\00:35:09.04
Most of you can't remember
all the sins from one day.
00:35:09.07\00:35:12.71
So do you have to remember
and confess all of your sins?
00:35:12.74\00:35:17.11
The Bible says, "If
we confess our sins,
00:35:17.15\00:35:19.61
He is faithful and
just to forgive us our sins,
00:35:19.65\00:35:22.58
and to cleanse us
from all unrighteousness."
00:35:22.62\00:35:26.32
But who
remembers all their sins?
00:35:26.35\00:35:28.32
So what do you do? I
need someone to help me.
00:35:28.36\00:35:31.16
No, this won't be tutor,
00:35:31.19\00:35:32.53
you can come up front, this one.
00:35:32.56\00:35:34.30
Now what's your name? Gabriel.
00:35:34.33\00:35:36.16
Gabriel? Okay, Gabriel.
00:35:36.20\00:35:39.63
Now if we're
walking out of the church
00:35:39.67\00:35:41.47
and you step on my foot,
go ahead, step on my foot.
00:35:41.50\00:35:44.94
Aw. What would you say to me?
00:35:44.97\00:35:47.44
Sorry. Sorry, okay.
00:35:47.48\00:35:49.64
But if we're
walking out of the church,
00:35:49.68\00:35:51.51
and you push into me
and you knock me down,
00:35:51.55\00:35:54.32
would you just say you're sorry?
00:35:54.35\00:35:56.58
Or would you say,
let me help you up?
00:35:56.62\00:35:58.95
Let me help you up.
Let me help you up, right.
00:35:58.99\00:36:01.09
So if we're
walking out of the church,
00:36:01.12\00:36:03.02
I didn't tackle
you too hard, did I?
00:36:03.06\00:36:04.46
If we're walking
out of the church,
00:36:04.49\00:36:06.76
and I'm
carrying a load of books,
00:36:06.80\00:36:08.93
and you're
running out of the church
00:36:08.96\00:36:10.37
and you tripped me and
I fall, I break my arm.
00:36:10.40\00:36:13.70
Would you just
look back and say,
00:36:13.74\00:36:15.07
"Sorry," and keep going?
00:36:15.10\00:36:17.81
You would?
00:36:17.84\00:36:20.38
All right, I need
somebody else up here.
00:36:20.41\00:36:22.74
No, no, no.
00:36:22.78\00:36:25.68
Now if you've knocked
me down and broke my arm,
00:36:25.71\00:36:27.32
you just say sorry and walk out.
00:36:27.35\00:36:30.22
Wouldn't you try and
say, "Well, let me see
00:36:30.25\00:36:32.09
if I could call an ambulance
for you or something, right?"
00:36:32.12\00:36:35.52
I mean, if you step on my
toes, you just say, "I'm sorry."
00:36:35.56\00:36:37.99
And I say "That's
fine. No problem."
00:36:38.03\00:36:40.00
If you trip me,
you help me back up.
00:36:40.03\00:36:42.63
If you break my arm, you
do a little more apology.
00:36:42.66\00:36:46.23
You stay around.
00:36:46.27\00:36:47.60
Let me help you, call the doctor
00:36:47.64\00:36:48.97
or you're gonna run
off and leave me, huh?
00:36:49.00\00:36:52.44
Right, you can
sit down. All right.
00:36:52.47\00:36:54.84
You know, the
most important decision
00:36:54.88\00:36:56.21

amazing adventure to eternity.
00:36:59.78\00:37:02.68

And for me, the
most exciting thing

00:37:52.17\00:37:55.57
Do you confess your sins to
God because He doesn't know?
00:37:55.60\00:37:59.37
Does God know everything?
00:37:59.41\00:38:01.34
So why are you
confessing your sins to Him?
00:38:01.38\00:38:05.25
The same reason
that he would say,
00:38:05.28\00:38:06.98
I'm sorry when he
stepped on my foot.
00:38:07.02\00:38:08.75
When he stepped on my foot,
I know he stepped on my foot,
00:38:08.78\00:38:11.05
he knows he stepped on my foot,
00:38:11.09\00:38:12.55
but it's
appropriate to say I'm sorry.
00:38:12.59\00:38:15.16
When you sinned against God,
00:38:15.19\00:38:16.52
we need to tell God we're sorry.
00:38:16.56\00:38:18.79
When I was about four years old,
00:38:18.83\00:38:21.43
I lived with my
father and my brother
00:38:21.46\00:38:23.16
in Southern California.
00:38:23.20\00:38:25.37
My father had a
shoeshine machine,
00:38:25.40\00:38:27.90
in the upstairs hall.
00:38:27.94\00:38:31.74
It was, it was like a
chrome silver machine.
00:38:31.77\00:38:34.41
It had a big black
furry brush on this side,
00:38:34.44\00:38:37.75
and a big red furry brush
00:38:37.78\00:38:39.55
on that side
and a button on top.
00:38:39.58\00:38:41.75
And my dad
before he went to work,
00:38:41.78\00:38:43.32
he'd walk into the hall,
00:38:43.35\00:38:45.22
he'd step on the
motor, he would go...
00:38:45.25\00:38:47.72
The brushes
would spin really fast.
00:38:47.76\00:38:49.79
It was powerful.
00:38:49.82\00:38:51.26
He put his shoes
under there, he buffed them.
00:38:51.29\00:38:54.80
Then he'd step on
it and he'd go to work.
00:38:54.83\00:38:57.47
I was fascinated.
00:38:57.50\00:38:58.83
When I was four years
old with that machine,
00:38:58.87\00:39:00.20
I've never had so
much power in my control.
00:39:00.24\00:39:03.91
And when no one was
looking, I'd sit there
00:39:03.94\00:39:05.51
and I hit the button, it'd go...
00:39:05.54\00:39:08.28
And I tried to stop
the brushes with my hand,
00:39:08.31\00:39:10.65
I couldn't, my hands would get
00:39:10.68\00:39:12.01
so hot from the
friction, and I turned it off
00:39:12.05\00:39:15.25
and I turned it on.
00:39:15.28\00:39:16.62
I had so much fun playing
with that shoeshine machine
00:39:16.65\00:39:18.99
until one morning...
00:39:19.02\00:39:21.62
Yeah, there I was.
00:39:21.66\00:39:23.89
I woke up Sunday
morning before everybody else
00:39:23.93\00:39:27.63
and then wouldn't
sleep, and I'm bored
00:39:27.66\00:39:29.10
and I walked out of my bedroom.
00:39:29.13\00:39:30.47
I walked in the hall,
there was a shoeshine machine.
00:39:30.50\00:39:33.57
And so I sat there
and I turned it on.
00:39:33.60\00:39:35.00
Whoo. I turned it off.
00:39:35.04\00:39:37.21
I tried to stop
it, turned it on.
00:39:37.24\00:39:39.84
And I thought it's
a shoeshine machine,
00:39:39.87\00:39:42.61
I should shine some shoes.
00:39:42.64\00:39:45.15
So I tiptoed into
my father's bedroom.
00:39:45.18\00:39:48.05
He was still snoring.
00:39:48.08\00:39:50.22
And I grabbed his black shoes
00:39:50.25\00:39:51.59
that he kicked
off there by the bed.
00:39:51.62\00:39:53.46
And I brought him
out and I shut the door.
00:39:53.49\00:39:55.62
And I was going to
buff them and I thought
00:39:55.66\00:39:57.19
I'm almost sure that
dad's got shoe polish
00:39:57.23\00:40:00.00
in the bathroom under the sink.
00:40:00.03\00:40:01.73
I'll use shoe polish.
00:40:01.76\00:40:03.57
So I went in the bathroom,
I left the shoes there.
00:40:03.60\00:40:05.40
Went in the bathroom
under the sink sure enough
00:40:05.43\00:40:07.14
there was a
bottle of shoe polish.
00:40:07.17\00:40:08.97
Now this was not the kind
of little can where it's wax.
00:40:09.00\00:40:11.91
This was the liquid shoe polish
00:40:11.94\00:40:14.24
that had an applicator on top,
00:40:14.28\00:40:16.21
but I didn't understand all that
00:40:16.24\00:40:17.68
and somehow I got the lid off
and I was smart enough to know
00:40:17.71\00:40:21.28
black shoe polish
goes on the black brush.
00:40:21.32\00:40:24.45
So I poured a generous amount
00:40:24.49\00:40:26.02
of black shoe
polish on that black brush,
00:40:26.05\00:40:28.29
got it good and went
00:40:28.32\00:40:29.66
because I wanted
the shoes really shiny.
00:40:29.69\00:40:32.49
Then I hit the button.
Something terrible happened.
00:40:32.53\00:40:38.07
First of all the
machine began to bounce
00:40:38.10\00:40:40.07
because all the
weight of the wet shoe polish
00:40:40.10\00:40:42.37
was on one side
and started to hop
00:40:42.40\00:40:44.17
and then it picked
up speed, it went...
00:40:44.21\00:40:47.64
And it discarded
all of the polish.
00:40:47.68\00:40:50.55
All the polish was
sprayed off the brush.
00:40:50.58\00:40:53.18
It went up the
wall through the middle
00:40:53.21\00:40:56.25
of a very expensive
Spanish soldier picture,
00:40:56.28\00:40:59.95
some Spanish conquistador.
00:40:59.99\00:41:02.29
Across the ceiling back
down the other side of the hall,
00:41:02.32\00:41:05.16
it just created the
black rainbow in the hall
00:41:05.19\00:41:08.96
and I quickly I hit the
button and turned it off
00:41:09.00\00:41:11.40
and I looked at
that, and I thought,
00:41:11.43\00:41:14.40
probably time to go back to bed.
00:41:14.44\00:41:17.71
I went back in my bedroom
and I crawl back into my bed.
00:41:17.74\00:41:21.21
And I'm laying
there under the covers,
00:41:21.24\00:41:22.58
I'm thinking nobody saw,
00:41:22.61\00:41:25.85
nobody will know
that I'm responsible.
00:41:25.88\00:41:29.78
Little while it took
forever but pretty soon
00:41:29.82\00:41:31.55
I heard my dad stumble around
00:41:31.59\00:41:33.15
and I heard the sink
go on in the bathroom
00:41:33.19\00:41:34.96
and then I heard
his bedroom door open
00:41:34.99\00:41:36.46
and my little
heart was going like this
00:41:36.49\00:41:37.96
and I felt, I'll
just pretend I'm asleep.
00:41:37.99\00:41:40.10
And he walks out in
the hall and then I hear...
00:41:40.13\00:41:44.23
He made these noises
I'd never heard before.
00:41:44.27\00:41:47.84
He went right to my bedroom door
00:41:47.87\00:41:49.20
and he opened up the door
00:41:49.24\00:41:50.57
and he looks and he goes Dougie,
00:41:50.61\00:41:52.14
and I wondered why he said me
00:41:52.17\00:41:54.01
because I had my brother,
00:41:54.04\00:41:55.38
I had my stepbrother
but he went right to me,
00:41:55.41\00:41:57.88
he said, "Get in here."
00:41:57.91\00:41:59.58
I acted like I
was asleep. Dougie!
00:41:59.61\00:42:01.65
Oh, yeah.
00:42:01.68\00:42:04.72
And I came out,
and he pointed me
00:42:04.75\00:42:08.32
to the rainbow that
looked as ominous as ever.
00:42:08.36\00:42:12.09
He said, "Do you
know anything about this?"
00:42:12.13\00:42:15.53
I wanted to tell
the truth but I thought,
00:42:15.56\00:42:17.33
no man, no one will know.
00:42:17.37\00:42:19.53
I said, "No."
00:42:19.57\00:42:22.60
He said, "Are you sure?"
00:42:22.64\00:42:26.01
I don't know. What happened?
00:42:26.04\00:42:29.18
I thought, you know,
00:42:29.21\00:42:30.55
someone maybe
broke into my house
00:42:30.58\00:42:32.01
and a robber might have
tried to steal my dad's shoes
00:42:32.05\00:42:34.15
and shine them before he left.
00:42:34.18\00:42:36.62
Anything could have happen?
00:42:36.65\00:42:39.35
And my dad said,
"All right, Doug,
00:42:39.39\00:42:41.69
I'm gonna spank you
until you tell the truth."
00:42:41.72\00:42:45.86
There was a convenient
bench right there in the hall
00:42:45.89\00:42:48.53
where he used to
put his shoes on,
00:42:48.56\00:42:49.90
he sat down and he
pulled me over his knee
00:42:49.93\00:42:52.70
and he began to
swat me on my posterior.
00:42:52.73\00:42:56.77
You'll know where that is.
00:42:56.81\00:42:58.67
That's your gluteus maximus,
00:42:58.71\00:43:00.58
there, yeah,
and, and I was going,
00:43:00.61\00:43:04.01
I didn't do it. I didn't do it.
00:43:04.05\00:43:06.01
I didn't do it. I did it.
00:43:06.05\00:43:07.78
I did it. I did it.
00:43:07.82\00:43:11.25
Because, you know,
00:43:11.29\00:43:12.79
we all crack under
torture after a while.
00:43:12.82\00:43:15.89
And then my father
used to cry and he said,
00:43:15.92\00:43:17.83
"Stop crying.
00:43:17.86\00:43:19.19
Go in the
bathroom, wash your face."
00:43:19.23\00:43:20.83
So I went crying
off into the bathroom
00:43:20.86\00:43:22.63
and I had a little
stool I used to stand on
00:43:22.66\00:43:24.83
so I could see in the sink.
00:43:24.87\00:43:26.94
I was still pretty small.
00:43:26.97\00:43:28.34
I stood up on the
sink to wash my face
00:43:28.37\00:43:29.87
and I'm looking in the mirror.
00:43:29.90\00:43:32.24
I had black
spots all over my face.
00:43:32.27\00:43:34.14
Here I am.
00:43:37.78\00:43:39.11
I'm looking at my father,
00:43:39.15\00:43:40.48
got black spots
all over my face.
00:43:40.52\00:43:41.85
He says, "Do you know anything
about this shoe polish?"
00:43:41.88\00:43:43.22
I am going, "No, not me."
00:43:43.25\00:43:47.69
Can we get away
with anything with God?
00:43:47.72\00:43:49.49
No.
00:43:49.52\00:43:50.86
It's like
sometimes your parents say,
00:43:50.89\00:43:52.23
"Did you get into the
chocolate chip cookies,"
00:43:52.26\00:43:54.73
and you're going...
00:43:54.76\00:43:56.50
You got chocolate
chips all around you.
00:43:56.53\00:43:58.50
Not me.
00:43:58.53\00:44:00.60
Your parents
usually know, right?
00:44:00.64\00:44:03.87
You always want
to tell the truth
00:44:03.91\00:44:06.14
and confess your sins to God.
00:44:06.17\00:44:07.98
You don't have to
hide anything from God.
00:44:08.01\00:44:10.75
So be honest with Him.
00:44:10.78\00:44:12.68
Tell Him what your sins
are, and He will forgive you.
00:44:12.71\00:44:15.58
He's very merciful.
00:44:15.62\00:44:17.99
Will my life change
when I give it to Jesus
00:44:18.02\00:44:20.32
and join His family?
00:44:20.36\00:44:22.39
What does Jesus help me do?
00:44:22.42\00:44:25.09
"If anyone is in
Christ, he is a new creation."
00:44:25.13\00:44:29.26
You become a new creature.
00:44:29.30\00:44:30.97
Old things are passed away.
00:44:31.00\00:44:32.80
All things are made new.
00:44:32.83\00:44:35.24
You're born again.
00:44:35.27\00:44:37.11
Jesus said,
then if you love Him,
00:44:37.14\00:44:38.71
because you're a new creature,
00:44:38.74\00:44:40.28
because of the love for God,
00:44:40.31\00:44:42.11
you want to keep
His commandments,
00:44:42.14\00:44:43.78
it actually pleases you.
00:44:43.81\00:44:46.25
Now, all of you been born once.
00:44:46.28\00:44:47.62
How many have been
born at least once?
00:44:47.65\00:44:49.65
That should have
been everybody, right?
00:44:49.68\00:44:51.49
You know that if
you're only born once,
00:44:51.52\00:44:54.66
you will die twice.
00:44:54.69\00:44:56.76
The Bible says,
00:44:56.79\00:44:58.13
you will not only
die the first death,
00:44:58.16\00:44:59.49
but after the millennium,
you die the second death.
00:44:59.53\00:45:02.56
But if you're born
twice, you may only die once
00:45:02.60\00:45:06.94
and you may not die
at all if you're alive
00:45:06.97\00:45:08.34
when Jesus comes,
you must be born again.
00:45:08.37\00:45:11.81
I read about a little girl.
00:45:11.84\00:45:14.08
Her name was
Macie Hope McCartney.
00:45:14.11\00:45:16.61
She was actually born twice.
00:45:16.64\00:45:18.98
She was born twice as a baby.
00:45:19.01\00:45:20.98
You see, when her mom was about
00:45:21.02\00:45:22.85
five and a half months pregnant,
00:45:22.88\00:45:24.39
they did an ultrasound
X ray and they found out
00:45:24.42\00:45:27.09
Macie had a very dangerous tumor
00:45:27.12\00:45:29.72
that was growing on her spine
00:45:29.76\00:45:32.69
and she was only about that big.
00:45:32.73\00:45:34.30
She weighed less than a pound,
00:45:34.33\00:45:35.66
probably weighed as much
00:45:35.70\00:45:37.03
as a 50 cent
piece or silver dollar.
00:45:37.07\00:45:39.80
And the doctor said,
"Unless we do the surgery,
00:45:39.83\00:45:43.84
she won't survive,
00:45:43.87\00:45:45.21
but it's a very
dangerous surgery.
00:45:45.24\00:45:47.34
We need to operate,
00:45:47.38\00:45:49.91
take Macie out of
the mother's womb,
00:45:49.94\00:45:53.45
do the surgery, put her
back in her tummy again."
00:45:53.48\00:45:57.45
And they did that surgery
00:45:57.49\00:45:59.15
and it went
perfectly successful.
00:45:59.19\00:46:00.92
She's now a very
happy, young lady.
00:46:00.96\00:46:04.09
So she was born in
March, they put her back
00:46:04.13\00:46:06.70
and then she was
born again in May.
00:46:06.73\00:46:08.56
Two months later
so she was born twice.
00:46:08.60\00:46:10.77
But you need to be
born twice spiritually
00:46:10.80\00:46:13.03
and Jesus does a
surgery on your heart.
00:46:13.07\00:46:15.34
The Bible says in Jeremiah 1:5,
00:46:15.37\00:46:18.24
"Before I formed you
in the womb, I knew you."
00:46:18.27\00:46:21.64
God has known us
from the very beginning.
00:46:21.68\00:46:24.51
Will I be happier
when I accept Jesus?
00:46:24.55\00:46:27.32
Oh, infinitely happier.
00:46:27.35\00:46:30.09
These things, Jesus
said, "These things I've spoken
00:46:30.12\00:46:32.52
to you that your
joy might be full."
00:46:32.55\00:46:35.89
And yet the tables yet I
will rejoice in the Lord,
00:46:35.92\00:46:38.79
I will joy in the
God of my salvation.
00:46:38.83\00:46:42.06
Being a Christian
can be a happy life.
00:46:42.10\00:46:44.23
"I delight to do
your will, O my God,
00:46:44.27\00:46:46.87
and Your law is
within my heart."
00:46:46.90\00:46:49.34
And then we say, Lord, he says,
00:46:49.37\00:46:51.87
"I have come that
they might have life,"
00:46:51.91\00:46:54.04
Jesus said, "and
we might have it more
00:46:54.08\00:46:56.24
abundantly."
00:46:56.28\00:46:57.61
God wants you to
have an abundant life.
00:46:57.65\00:46:59.48
I need two volunteers.
00:46:59.51\00:47:01.98
Okay, you know,
I'm neglecting you guys
00:47:02.02\00:47:04.72
way over here.
00:47:04.75\00:47:06.09
I feel so bad.
00:47:06.12\00:47:07.62
I'll tell you what, we
got like five girls here so.
00:47:07.66\00:47:12.59
Here I like to take you
00:47:12.63\00:47:13.96
'cause you were
sitting down all right.
00:47:14.00\00:47:15.93
Look in the box there
and see if you can find,
00:47:15.96\00:47:19.53
one of you see if you can
find something to start a fire.
00:47:19.57\00:47:23.04
That scares people I know.
00:47:23.07\00:47:25.17
Look around, see
if there's something
00:47:25.21\00:47:26.54
there might start a fire
and wave while you're there.
00:47:26.57\00:47:28.98
You found it.
He's got it. All right.
00:47:36.22\00:47:39.45
I picked two of you
'cause I got two candles here.
00:47:39.49\00:47:42.59
All right, do you think
you could light that thing,
00:47:42.62\00:47:44.13
it takes, you gotta
have a pretty firm grip.
00:47:44.16\00:47:46.19
You pull in the
trigger, you squeeze,
00:47:46.23\00:47:47.96
and you press the button.
00:47:48.00\00:47:49.33
Come on over here
so people can see.
00:47:49.36\00:47:51.50
Pull the handle in like this.
00:47:51.53\00:47:54.17
Just pull the handle and
just squeeze the handle in.
00:47:54.20\00:47:57.44
Stay with it. Stay with it.
00:47:57.47\00:47:58.81
You're not gonna run
out. All right, now let...
00:47:58.84\00:48:00.74
What's your name? Adora.
00:48:00.78\00:48:02.14
Adora, you can see if
you can light the other one,
00:48:02.18\00:48:03.81
squeeze it real hard.
00:48:03.85\00:48:07.15
There we go.
Keep it squeezed down.
00:48:07.18\00:48:09.15
Don't push it over.
00:48:09.18\00:48:11.22
That's good. You got it.
00:48:11.25\00:48:12.59
All right. Now
here's a question.
00:48:12.62\00:48:13.96
Come on over here with me,
you guys, we can set that down.
00:48:13.99\00:48:15.56
Can you see something different
with those two candles?
00:48:19.19\00:48:21.90
Yes, one is bigger.
One's taller, all right.
00:48:21.93\00:48:25.67
Which one do you
think is gonna burn longer?
00:48:25.70\00:48:28.27
Tall one. Okay.
00:48:28.30\00:48:32.47
Which one do you think is
going to give more light out
00:48:32.51\00:48:36.01
over time?
00:48:36.04\00:48:37.38
Taller one. So
here's my question.
00:48:37.41\00:48:40.42
What is worth more,
10 plus 70 or 70 plus 10?
00:48:40.45\00:48:45.89
They are equal.
Sounds equal, doesn't it.
00:48:45.92\00:48:49.86
Now let me tell you
what I'm talking about.
00:48:49.89\00:48:52.39
Are you better
off being 10 years old
00:48:52.43\00:48:54.86
giving your heart to the Lord
and serving him for 70 years
00:48:54.90\00:48:58.13
or being 70 years old
giving your heart to the Lord
00:48:58.17\00:49:00.70
and serving Him for 10 years?
00:49:00.74\00:49:04.14
You want to do it
when you're 10 years old.
00:49:04.17\00:49:06.37
Okay?
00:49:06.41\00:49:07.84
Here like, I got
something for you.
00:49:07.88\00:49:12.35
Since I'm a guy, she's
a girl. Isn't that pretty?
00:49:12.38\00:49:14.35
You like that?
Isn't that beautiful?
00:49:14.38\00:49:16.28
I don't know if it
smells I think it's an iris.
00:49:16.32\00:49:18.52
And what was your name? Luke?
00:49:18.55\00:49:21.99
I got one for you too, Luke.
00:49:22.02\00:49:24.76
Now they're both
irises. Which one looks better?
00:49:24.79\00:49:29.33
This one.
00:49:29.36\00:49:31.63
Well, I guess
that's a matter of opinion.
00:49:31.67\00:49:35.80
It's no contest, let's admit it.
00:49:35.84\00:49:37.97
So if you're going to
give your life to the Lord,
00:49:38.01\00:49:40.01
do you want to give
your life to the Lord
00:49:40.04\00:49:41.38
like that in its blossom,
00:49:41.41\00:49:43.24
in its youth or
do you want to wait
00:49:43.28\00:49:44.61
until all the petals
fall off and say here, Jesus,
00:49:44.65\00:49:46.21
I'm going to give you my life.
00:49:46.25\00:49:48.32
Will the Lord
take you at any time?
00:49:48.35\00:49:50.32
Yes.
00:49:50.35\00:49:51.69
But isn't it better to give
Him your life in your youth,
00:49:51.72\00:49:54.69
in your strength?
00:49:54.72\00:49:56.29
I say this
because some people say,
00:49:56.32\00:49:58.63
"I'm gonna live for the devil
and when I'm old before I die,
00:49:58.66\00:50:01.76
I'm gonna give my
life to the Lord."
00:50:01.80\00:50:03.90
That's a terrible mistake.
00:50:03.93\00:50:05.87
You're not gonna
shine for God for very long.
00:50:05.90\00:50:08.04
He'll accept you
but how much better
00:50:08.07\00:50:10.17
to give him your
life in your prime
00:50:10.21\00:50:12.57
when you're young.
00:50:12.61\00:50:13.94
I wish I was even younger
when I had come to the Lord,
00:50:13.98\00:50:16.04
I wasted several
years and you never know
00:50:16.08\00:50:18.81
when your life is gonna end.
00:50:18.85\00:50:20.18
You can't decide,
well, maybe when I'm old,
00:50:20.22\00:50:22.58
a few years before I
die, the doctor will say
00:50:22.62\00:50:24.62
you've got six months to live,
00:50:24.65\00:50:25.99
then I'll give
my life to the Lord.
00:50:26.02\00:50:28.76
You want to give it
to Him, not just for you
00:50:28.79\00:50:30.73
because you want to
serve him too, amen?
00:50:30.76\00:50:32.79
Oh, you got to keep that one.
00:50:32.83\00:50:34.16
You can keep that
one too if you want to.
00:50:34.20\00:50:35.53
Sorry about
that, Luke. Thank you.
00:50:35.56\00:50:36.93
Let's give them a
hand. Thank you very much.
00:50:36.97\00:50:41.10
I remember once a story,
a father was sailing through
00:50:41.14\00:50:46.14
the Caribbean
with his teenage boys
00:50:46.17\00:50:50.31
and he told them,
00:50:50.35\00:50:53.88
don't be running around the ship
00:50:53.92\00:50:55.42
and don't be getting in trouble.
00:50:55.45\00:50:56.92
He says if you fall overboard,
this is a dangerous area.
00:50:56.95\00:50:59.29
There is a chicken
slaughterhouse near here
00:50:59.32\00:51:02.62
and because there's a
chicken slaughterhouse,
00:51:02.66\00:51:04.76
there's a lot of
sharks in the area
00:51:04.79\00:51:06.29
because all of the garbage
from the chicken slaughterhouse
00:51:06.33\00:51:08.90
goes out in the ocean
and the sharks are very thick
00:51:08.93\00:51:11.07
and they're very aggressive.
00:51:11.10\00:51:13.27
And the boy said, "Okay, dad."
00:51:13.30\00:51:14.64
Dad was always
being really cautious
00:51:14.67\00:51:16.07
and having rules and they
said, "Yeah, dad, yeah, dad."
00:51:16.10\00:51:18.84
They didn't believe him.
00:51:18.87\00:51:20.21
Well as they were going
along, the boys began to run,
00:51:20.24\00:51:23.28
chase each other
and play tag on the boat
00:51:23.31\00:51:25.18
and they were wrestling
or fighting or something
00:51:25.21\00:51:26.68
and one of them began to slip
00:51:26.72\00:51:28.05
and go over the
little cord railing.
00:51:28.08\00:51:30.15
He grabbed his
brother's t-shirt.
00:51:30.19\00:51:31.99
They both fell off
and the boat was going,
00:51:32.02\00:51:34.02
it was under
sail, it was moving,
00:51:34.06\00:51:35.39
they both fell
overboard as the boat was moving
00:51:35.42\00:51:37.96
and went splash into
the warm Caribbean waters.
00:51:37.99\00:51:41.43
Well, they were good swimmers
and water wasn't that deep.
00:51:41.46\00:51:44.73
The father
heard the boat splash.
00:51:44.77\00:51:46.80
They said, "Hey, dad."
00:51:46.84\00:51:48.17
He ran up from below,
he was in the kitchen,
00:51:48.20\00:51:50.07
the galley down below.
00:51:50.11\00:51:51.47
He came up and it
took a minute to try
00:51:51.51\00:51:53.78
to lower the sail
and stop the boat.
00:51:53.81\00:51:55.48
It's not that easy
to stop it right away.
00:51:55.51\00:51:57.71
The boys are off in the distance
00:51:57.75\00:51:59.18
and the father's
trying to turn the boat around
00:51:59.21\00:52:00.85
and he got up on the deck
00:52:00.88\00:52:02.22
and he said,
"Swim back to the boat."
00:52:02.25\00:52:04.62
He dropped the sail and
boat was slowly drifting
00:52:04.65\00:52:06.99
and they were gonna swim back.
00:52:07.02\00:52:08.56
Well, they're out there in
the water dunking each other
00:52:08.59\00:52:10.63
and fighting, they're
enjoying being in the water.
00:52:10.66\00:52:13.63
And then the father saw
from where he stood, sharks.
00:52:13.66\00:52:18.93
And he said,
"Boys, I see sharks.
00:52:18.97\00:52:21.97
Come quickly back to the boat.
00:52:22.00\00:52:24.84
Swim calmly, but quickly,
00:52:24.87\00:52:26.24
you don't want to
stir the water too much."
00:52:26.27\00:52:28.58
The boys looked at
each other and they said,
00:52:28.61\00:52:30.25
"We haven't seen
any sharks all day.
00:52:30.28\00:52:32.45
I don't see any dorsal
fins going through the water.
00:52:32.48\00:52:35.15
There are no sharks.
00:52:35.18\00:52:36.52
He's probably just
trying to scare us."
00:52:36.55\00:52:38.59
And as the boys began to say,
00:52:38.62\00:52:39.95
"Oh, no help, I'm
drowning, sharks."
00:52:39.99\00:52:42.72
And they're making
fun of their father.
00:52:42.76\00:52:44.89
And they're slowly
swimming back to the boat.
00:52:44.93\00:52:47.20
Well, the father saw
he's getting really frightened
00:52:47.23\00:52:49.10
'cause there are more
and more black shadows
00:52:49.13\00:52:51.40
under the water
that are gathering
00:52:51.43\00:52:53.54
and circling the
son and he understood
00:52:53.57\00:52:55.24
the nature of sharks.
00:52:55.27\00:52:57.44
Sharks are kind of
cowards, but they'll circle
00:52:57.47\00:53:00.24
and one of them
eventually will go in
00:53:00.28\00:53:01.81
and take a sample bite.
00:53:01.84\00:53:03.58
But once they smell blood,
00:53:03.61\00:53:05.51
they go into a frenzy
of biting and tearing.
00:53:05.55\00:53:10.22
And the father saw the
shark were closing the circle.
00:53:10.25\00:53:13.66
He said, "Boys
get back to the boat."
00:53:13.69\00:53:15.92
And he picked up
a life preserver,
00:53:15.96\00:53:17.56
you know, the ring
and it was on a rope.
00:53:17.59\00:53:18.93
He said, "Do you
having problems."
00:53:18.96\00:53:20.30
He threw it to
them and they said,
00:53:20.33\00:53:22.00
"We don't need that, we
can get back on our own."
00:53:22.03\00:53:25.57
And then he saw the
sharks were going to dive in,
00:53:25.60\00:53:27.84
in any moment in or
attack one of the boys
00:53:27.87\00:53:31.57
and he knew that
would be the end of it,
00:53:31.61\00:53:32.94
'cause now there
were like 50 of them.
00:53:32.97\00:53:35.71
So the father did something
that was very shocking.
00:53:35.74\00:53:38.98
He took a fish knife
that was on the boat.
00:53:39.01\00:53:42.52
He cut his wrists.
00:53:42.55\00:53:44.55
He dove in the water and
swim in another direction.
00:53:44.59\00:53:48.12
And soon, the dark shadows
00:53:48.16\00:53:50.19
all went over
towards the father.
00:53:50.23\00:53:52.39
And the water began
to turn and turn red.
00:53:52.43\00:53:56.36
And the boys saw what happened.
00:53:56.40\00:53:59.00
Now, here's the question.
00:53:59.03\00:54:00.44
If they choose
to stay in the water
00:54:00.47\00:54:03.30
after their
father gave his life,
00:54:03.34\00:54:05.74
is there anything
more their father can do?
00:54:05.77\00:54:09.61
If we choose to continue
hanging around with the devil,
00:54:09.64\00:54:12.98
and stay out in the
world after God gives His Son,
00:54:13.01\00:54:16.72
Jesus gave His blood to save us.
00:54:16.75\00:54:19.89
Is there
anything more He can do?
00:54:19.92\00:54:22.46
So, God's done
as much as He can do
00:54:22.49\00:54:25.63
in giving Jesus to save us.
00:54:25.66\00:54:28.43
And the only lifeboat is Christ.
00:54:28.46\00:54:31.77
Jesus is our
lifeboat, we must come to Him.
00:54:31.80\00:54:34.27
The Bible says, "He
who has the Son has life.
00:54:34.30\00:54:38.01
He that does not have
the Son does not have life."
00:54:38.04\00:54:42.54
So do you see how
much Jesus loves you?
00:54:42.58\00:54:45.18
Don't you want to accept Jesus
00:54:45.21\00:54:46.72
and start living
a new life for Him?
00:54:46.75\00:54:49.98
You know, the Bible
tells us that without Him,
00:54:50.02\00:54:51.69
we can't do anything.
00:54:51.72\00:54:53.82
But how much can
we do through Christ?
00:54:53.86\00:54:56.79
All things are
possible through Christ.
00:54:56.83\00:54:59.69
And then you
know, one of the things
00:54:59.73\00:55:01.06
that's often forgotten,
one of the most important steps
00:55:01.10\00:55:03.73
after you make a
decision to accept Jesus,
00:55:03.77\00:55:06.37
tell somebody else about it.
00:55:06.40\00:55:08.37
You want to share the good news.
00:55:08.40\00:55:10.04
It says in the Bible,
00:55:10.07\00:55:11.41
"If you confess with your mouth,
00:55:11.44\00:55:12.77
the Lord Jesus Christ
and believe in your heart,
00:55:12.81\00:55:15.38
you will be saved."
00:55:15.41\00:55:16.75
So seal your decision by sharing
00:55:16.78\00:55:18.55
and tell someone else
what Jesus has done for you.
00:55:18.58\00:55:21.72
His promise is, He will
never leave you or forsake you.
00:55:21.75\00:55:26.42
You know, God
has given His own Son
00:55:26.45\00:55:29.56
because He loves you so much.
00:55:29.59\00:55:32.06
I remember hearing
a story about a boy.
00:55:32.09\00:55:36.20
His sister had a rare
disease, his younger sister,
00:55:36.23\00:55:40.07
and the doctor said, "Tommy,
00:55:40.10\00:55:43.27
you have the same
blood type as Lisa,
00:55:43.30\00:55:46.57
your three year old sister.
00:55:46.61\00:55:48.44
The only way that
Lisa is gonna live
00:55:48.48\00:55:50.68
is if you would be
willing to give her blood."
00:55:50.71\00:55:54.72
And he thought
long time about that
00:55:54.75\00:55:56.55
'cause he was only
like eight or nine years old
00:55:56.58\00:55:58.65
and he thought boy kind of scary
00:55:58.69\00:56:00.66
when someone pokes a needle
in you and, and he said yes,
00:56:00.69\00:56:05.19
I'm willing to
give my blood to Lisa.
00:56:05.23\00:56:08.46
So they laid him down
in a hospital bed and,
00:56:08.50\00:56:11.83
and he was starting to
tear up when he thought about it
00:56:11.87\00:56:14.77
and the doctors to
put the rubber band
00:56:14.80\00:56:16.71
around his arm and they,
00:56:16.74\00:56:18.11
they got where
they found a vein.
00:56:18.14\00:56:19.97
They poked a needle
and he cried a little bit.
00:56:20.01\00:56:22.34
And he saw the
blood running down
00:56:22.38\00:56:23.75
the tube into a bottle.
00:56:23.78\00:56:27.18
And he said, "Doctor,
is it gonna hurt to die?"
00:56:27.22\00:56:30.99
And they said, "Well,
you're not gonna die."
00:56:31.02\00:56:33.92
"Said, but after you take
all my blood won't I die?"
00:56:33.96\00:56:37.46
They said, "They're not
going to take all of your blood.
00:56:37.49\00:56:40.96
You just need to give a
little bit, you'll be alive."
00:56:41.00\00:56:42.96
And he was so relieved.
00:56:43.00\00:56:45.47
He was willing to
die to save his sister.
00:56:45.50\00:56:48.20
He thought they were
going to take all of his blood.
00:56:48.24\00:56:52.74
That's what the Lord
does in the heart of somebody
00:56:52.77\00:56:54.71
when they love someone.
00:56:54.74\00:56:56.58
He loved his sister so much
he was willing to die for her.
00:56:56.61\00:56:58.91
Do you love Jesus so that
you're willing to live for Him?
00:56:58.95\00:57:01.38
You know, the
most important decision
00:57:29.98\00:57:31.58
