- BLOOD IS THE LIQUID OF LIFE,
AND JESUS POURED OUT HIS BLOOD
00:00:14.58\00:00:17.81
TO TAKE AWAY THE
SIN OF THE WORLD.
00:00:18.78\00:00:21.58
- YOU KNOW, IN THE BIBLE
WE READ ABOUT ONE OF THE GREAT
00:00:24.42\00:00:27.66
PATRIARCHS. HIS NAME WAS
ABRAHAM. AND OUR LESSON TONIGHT
00:00:27.69\00:00:31.69
IS CALLED THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE
AND IT'S BASED UPON THIS
00:00:31.73\00:00:35.26
OLD TESTAMENT STORY
ABOUT THE FATHER AND THE SON.
00:00:35.30\00:00:40.70
NOW YOU REMEMBER, ABRAHAM WAS
AN OLD MAN AND HE HADN'T HAD THE
00:00:40.74\00:00:44.81
CHILD OF PROMISE THAT HE WAS
SUPPOSED TO HAVE THROUGH SARAH.
00:00:44.84\00:00:48.11
HE TRIED TO TAKE THINGS INTO HIS
OWN HANDS AND HE HAD A BABY WITH
00:00:48.14\00:00:51.88
HAGAR, ISHMAEL, AND THAT
JUST BROUGHT ALL KINDS OF STRIFE
00:00:51.91\00:00:56.12
INTO THE FAMILY. BUT GOD WORKED
A GREAT MIRACLE AND IN HIS OLD
00:00:56.15\00:01:00.82
AGE - SARAH WAS 90 - HE
WAS OVER 100 - THEY HAD A BABY.
00:01:00.86\00:01:04.63
THEY NAMED HIM ISAAC, WHICH
MEANS LAUGHTER, AND GOD PROMISED
00:01:04.66\00:01:08.33
ABRAHAM THAT THROUGH THIS
MIRACULOUS BABY BOY, ALL THE
00:01:08.36\00:01:12.67
NATIONS OF THE WORLD WOULD BE
BLESSED BECAUSE JESUS WOULD COME
00:01:12.70\00:01:16.60
THROUGH THE SEED OF ISAAC.
SO YOU CAN UNDERSTAND ABRAHAM'S
00:01:16.64\00:01:20.58
AMAZEMENT, HOW DISTRAUGHT HE WAS
WHEN, EARLY ONE NIGHT, THE LORD
00:01:20.61\00:01:26.05
WOKE HIM UP AND SPOKE TO
HIM IN THAT CLEAR VOICE THAT WAS
00:01:26.08\00:01:28.38
UNDENIABLE. HE KNEW IT WAS GOD.
00:01:28.42\00:01:30.89
AND HE SAID, 'ABRAHAM, I WANT
YOU TO TAKE YOUR SON - YOUR ONLY
00:01:30.92\00:01:35.12
SON ISAAC, WHO YOU LOVE, BRING
HIM UNTO THE MOUNTAINS OF MORIAH
00:01:35.16\00:01:39.13
AND OFFER HIM THERE UNTO ME AS A
BURNT OFFERING.' WELL HOW COULD
00:01:39.16\00:01:44.40
THAT HAPPEN?
BECAUSE IT WAS THROUGH ISAAC
00:01:44.43\00:01:46.87
THAT ALL HIS
PROMISES WOULD BE REALIZED.
00:01:46.90\00:01:49.07
EVERYTHING IN HIS LIFE HAD BEEN
BUILT UP TO THIS SON ISAAC AND
00:01:49.10\00:01:51.51
NOW HE'S A HUNDRED AND SARAH'S
- HE'S MORE THAN A HUNDRED NOW -
00:01:51.54\00:01:55.74
SARAH'S OVER 100 AT THIS POINT.
00:01:55.78\00:01:57.48
ISAAC'S PROBABLY 17 YEARS
OF AGE - BUT HE DIDN'T DISOBEY.
00:01:57.51\00:02:02.85
HE HAD FAITH - IT SAYS IN
HEBREWS THAT IF HE DID THIS, IF
00:02:02.88\00:02:06.02
GOD NEEDED TO RAISE HIM FROM THE
DEAD TO FULFILL HIS PROMISE, HE
00:02:06.05\00:02:08.82
HAD LEARNED TO TRUST THE
WORD OF GOD NO MATTER WHAT.
00:02:08.86\00:02:12.46
SO HE DIDN'T
EXPLAIN IT ALL TO SARAH.
00:02:12.49\00:02:15.33
HE WOKE UP ISAAC AND SAID,
'SON, WE'RE GOING TO GO OFFER
00:02:15.36\00:02:18.33
SACRIFICE. COME WITH ME. GOT
SOME SERVANTS. GOT THE DONKEYS.
00:02:18.37\00:02:20.74
THEY WENT ON A JOURNEY TO THE
MOUNTAINS WHERE GOD DIRECTED HIM
00:02:20.77\00:02:23.84
- THE MOUNTAINS OF MORIAH.
IT WAS A THREE-DAY JOURNEY.
00:02:23.87\00:02:28.51
THEY GOT TO THE
BASE OF THE MOUNTAINS -
00:02:28.54\00:02:30.35
HE TOLD THE
SERVANTS TO STAY THERE.
00:02:30.38\00:02:32.78
HE PUT THE WOOD ON ISAAC'S BACK
AND THEY WENT A HALF A DAY'S
00:02:32.81\00:02:37.12
JOURNEY UP TO THE PLACE OF
SACRIFICE - THREE AND A HALF
00:02:37.15\00:02:40.29
DAYS. HOW LONG
DID JESUS MINISTER.
00:02:40.32\00:02:43.22
- THREE AND A HALF
YEARS. - THREE AND A HALF YEARS.
00:02:43.26\00:02:46.23
AND ON THE WAY UP THE MOUNTAIN,
ISAAC THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS
00:02:46.26\00:02:49.66
PECULIAR BECAUSE HE
AND HIS FATHER HAD GONE
00:02:49.70\00:02:51.60
TO OFFER
SACRIFICE MANY TIMES BEFORE.
00:02:51.63\00:02:53.54
BY THE WAY, YOU FIND
THIS STORY IN GENESIS 22:19.
00:02:53.57\00:02:55.77
AND HE SAID, 'FATHER,' - THERE
WAS A LONG SILENCE AND HE KNEW
00:02:55.80\00:03:01.68
SOMETHING WAS DIFFERENT.
HIS FATHER LOOKED LIKE HIS HEART
00:03:01.71\00:03:04.21
WAS BREAKING AND
HE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND.
00:03:04.25\00:03:06.05
HE SAID, 'FATHER, WE'VE GOT THE
WOOD AND WE'VE GOT WHAT IT TAKES
00:03:06.08\00:03:11.62
TO MAKE THE FIRE, BUT WE'RE
MISSING THE LAMB.' AND HE SAID,
00:03:11.65\00:03:18.03
'WHERE IS THE LAMB?'
ABRAHAM SAID, 'MY SON, GOD WILL
00:03:18.06\00:03:21.26
PROVIDE HIMSELF A LAMB FOR OUR
SACRIFICE.' THOSE WERE PROPHETIC
00:03:21.30\00:03:28.50
WORDS BECAUSE GOD DID
PROVIDE HIMSELF A LAMB.
00:03:28.54\00:03:33.14
SO THEY CONTINUED ON THEIR WAY -
THEY WENT UP THE MOUNTAIN - AND
00:03:33.17\00:03:36.08
AT SOME POINT ABRAHAM NEEDED TO
EXPLAIN TO ISAAC WHAT WAS GOING
00:03:36.11\00:03:39.31
ON. YOU KNOW,
HE COULDN'T WRESTLE
00:03:39.35\00:03:41.72
HIS TEENAGE SON TO THE
GROUND. HE COULDN'T OUTRUN HIM.
00:03:41.75\00:03:44.05
HE SAID, 'SON, I NEED TO TELL
YOU WHAT THE LORD HAS ASKED ME
00:03:44.09\00:03:47.66
TO DO.' AND AFTER EXPLAINING
THIS, THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT
00:03:47.69\00:03:51.13
ISAAC IS A WILLING SACRIFICE.
JESUS WAS A WILLING SACRIFICE.
00:03:51.16\00:03:56.63
JESUS HAD THE WOOD
PLACED UPON HIS BACK.
00:03:56.67\00:03:59.00
THEY EMBRACED EACH OTHER.
00:03:59.03\00:04:01.87
ISAAC THEN WAS BOUND BY
HIS FATHER, HIS TREMBLING HANDS
00:04:01.90\00:04:05.71
PLACED UPON THE STONE ALTAR
AND JUST AS ABRAHAM WAS ABOUT TO
00:04:05.74\00:04:10.45
BRING DOWN THE KNIFE - HE'D
RESIGNED HIMSELF TO DO WHAT GOD
00:04:10.48\00:04:13.62
HAD TOLD HIM TO DO - THE HAND OF
AN ANGEL STOPPED HIM AND SAID,
00:04:13.65\00:04:17.09
'ABRAHAM, ABRAHAM, DON'T DO THE
LAD ANY HARM FOR NOW I KNOW THAT
00:04:17.12\00:04:21.49
YOU TRUST ME.' WHY DO YOU THINK
HE HAD ABRAHAM ACT THAT WHOLE
00:04:21.52\00:04:27.86
EXPERIENCE OUT? WHAT
GREATER SACRIFICE COULD BE
00:04:27.93\00:04:32.57
ASKED OF ANYONE
THAN TO GIVE THEIR CHILD.
00:04:32.60\00:04:36.37
THIS IS TO ILLUSTRATE THE
LOVE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE
00:04:36.40\00:04:39.71
HEAVENLY FATHER AND JESUS
THE SON, IN WHAT THEY'VE DONE IN
00:04:39.74\00:04:44.15
GIVING THEMSELVES FOR US -
BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST THE SON
00:04:44.18\00:04:48.75
THAT SUFFERED.
THE FATHER SUFFERED.
00:04:48.78\00:04:51.69
THE FATHER SO LOVED
THE WORLD HE GAVE THE SON.
00:04:51.72\00:04:54.06
AND THIS IS WHY JESUS CAME.
ALL THROUGH THE BIBLE YOU CAN
00:04:54.09\00:04:58.76
SEE THESE
ALLEGORIES OF SALVATION.
00:04:58.79\00:05:02.73
IT'S ALL POINTING TO THE TIME
WHEN GOD WOULD COME TO THE EARTH
00:05:02.76\00:05:05.63
IN THE FORM OF A MAN. NOW OUR
LESSON TONIGHT IS GOING TO TALK
00:05:05.67\00:05:09.00
ABOUT THE CENTRAL THEME OF WHY
JESUS CAME, THIS LAMB OF GOD.
00:05:09.04\00:05:13.34
LET'S GO TO OUR FIRST
QUESTION IN OUR LESSON.
00:05:13.38\00:05:15.91
WHOM DID THE ANIMAL THAT
WAS SACRIFICED IN ISAAC'S PLACE
00:05:15.94\00:05:19.41
REPRESENT? YOU
REMEMBER WHEN ISAAC - WHEN
00:05:19.45\00:05:23.39
ABRAHAM - I'M SORRY - WAS READY
TO BRING DOWN THE KNIFE, THE
00:05:23.42\00:05:26.62
ANGEL STOPPED ABRAHAM AND HE
DIRECTED HIS ATTENTION TO A RAM
00:05:26.65\00:05:30.33
THAT WAS CAUGHT BY HIS HORNS IN
A THORN BUSH CALLED A THICKET.
00:05:30.36\00:05:34.10
THERE'S A RAM
WITH A CROWN OF THORNS.
00:05:34.13\00:05:37.60
DID JESUS HAVE
A CROWN OF THORNS?
00:05:37.63\00:05:39.97
AND THAT RAM WAS SACRIFICED
IN THE PLACE OF ISAAC.
00:05:40.00\00:05:43.41
WHO DOES THIS LAMB REPRESENT?
YOU CAN READ IT IN JOHN - THE
00:05:43.44\00:05:47.78
GOSPEL OF JOHN
CHAPTER 1, VERSE 29.
00:05:47.81\00:05:50.28
WHEN JOHN THE BAPTIST SAW JESUS
COMING IT SAYS, "THE NEXT DAY
00:05:50.31\00:05:54.35
JOHN SEETH JESUS COMING AND
HE SAID UNTO HIM, "BEHOLD THE -
00:05:54.38\00:06:00.66
- LAMB. - LAMB OF
GOD THAT TAKES AWAY
00:06:00.69\00:06:04.09
THE SIN OF THE WORLD. JESUS
IS THAT LAMB. JOHN RECOGNIZED -
00:06:04.13\00:06:08.73
ALL THE LAMBS THAT THEY
SACRIFICED ALL POINTED TO JESUS.
00:06:08.76\00:06:12.80
THE BIBLE SAYS, IN REVELATION,
IT TALKS ABOUT THE LAMB SLAIN
00:06:12.83\00:06:16.47
FROM THE
FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD.
00:06:16.50\00:06:18.27
WHEN ADAM AND EVE SINNED THEY
TRIED TO COVER THEIR NAKEDNESS
00:06:18.31\00:06:21.14
WITH WHAT? FIG
LEAVES, YOU REMEMBER?
00:06:21.18\00:06:23.98
GOD SAID, 'THAT WON'T DO.' FOR
ONE THING IT SAYS THAT THEY MADE
00:06:24.01\00:06:26.88
APRONS OF LEAVES -
LITTLE MINI SKIRTS.
00:06:26.92\00:06:30.29
AND THEN IT SAYS GOD
GAVE THEM TUNICS OF SKIN.
00:06:30.32\00:06:34.62
IT WASN'T VINYL THAT
HE BOUGHT FROM WAL-MART.
00:06:34.66\00:06:37.83
WHERE DO YOU THINK
THAT SKIN CAME FROM?
00:06:37.86\00:06:39.83
SOMETHING HAD TO BE SACRIFICED.
THE SACRIFICIAL SYSTEM WAS
00:06:39.86\00:06:43.80
ESTABLISHED THERE TO
COVER THEIR NAKEDNESS.
00:06:43.83\00:06:46.10
AS THE LAMB OF GOD, JESUS
- HIS ROBE - COVERS OUR SIN.
00:06:46.13\00:06:49.77
WHY WAS IT
NECESSARY FOR JESUS TO DIE?
00:06:49.80\00:06:53.01
PEOPLE SAY, 'COULDN'T
HE HAVE JUST FORGIVEN US?
00:06:53.04\00:06:55.58
WHY DID HE HAVE TO DIE?
00:06:55.61\00:06:56.91
THE BIBLE TELLS US - ROMANS
CHAPTER 3:23 - I BET MOST OF YOU
00:06:56.95\00:07:00.78
KNOW THIS - "FOR ALL HAVE SINNED
AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY OF
00:07:00.82\00:07:05.62
GOD." WE'VE ALL SINNED.
00:07:05.65\00:07:07.59
AND YOU GO ON - WHY IS
THAT SUCH A SERIOUS THING?
00:07:07.62\00:07:09.76
SIN IS BREAKING GOD'S
LAW. WHAT IS THE PENALTY?
00:07:09.79\00:07:12.76
ROMANS CHAPTER 6, VERSE
23, "FOR THE WAGES OF SIN IS -
00:07:12.79\00:07:18.30
- DEATH. - DEATH.
00:07:18.33\00:07:20.34
BUT GOD DOESN'T WANT YOU TO DIE
AND THE ONLY WAY FOR YOU TO BE
00:07:20.37\00:07:24.17
FORGIVEN WAS TO
HAVE A SUBSTITUTE.
00:07:24.21\00:07:26.57
AND JESUS SAID, 'LOOK, I LOVE
YOU SO MUCH I WILL TAKE YOUR
00:07:26.61\00:07:29.68
PLACE. I WILL
COME INTO THE WORLD.
00:07:29.71\00:07:32.75
I WILL LIVE THE PERFECT LIFE
THAT I WANTED YOU TO LIVE, BUT I
00:07:32.78\00:07:37.05
WILL DIE THE DEATH
THAT YOU DESERVE TO DIE.
00:07:37.09\00:07:39.42
I WILL GIVE YOU MY GOODNESS
AND I WILL TAKE YOUR BADNESS.
00:07:39.45\00:07:42.39
I'LL GIVE YOU MY LIFE.
I WILL TAKE YOUR DEATH.
00:07:42.42\00:07:45.26
I'LL GIVE YOU MY POWER.
I WILL TAKE YOUR WEAKNESS.'
00:07:45.29\00:07:48.40
HE MADE AN EXCHANGE WITH US THAT
WE RECEIVE BY FAITH AND THEN
00:07:48.43\00:07:51.93
IT BECOMES REAL. IT REALLY DOES.
00:07:51.97\00:07:55.54
BUT THE PENALTY FOR SIN IS
DEATH. THAT WAS THE ONLY WAY.
00:07:55.57\00:07:59.21
FURTHERMORE, WITHOUT THE
SHEDDING OF BLOOD THERE IS NO
00:07:59.24\00:08:03.24
REMISSION - AND THAT
MEANS NO FORGIVENESS.
00:08:03.28\00:08:05.48
THE BIBLE SAYS THE
LIFE IS IN THE BLOOD.
00:08:05.51\00:08:07.72
ALL OF THE NUTRIENTS THAT
GO TO EVERY CELL IN YOUR BODY -
00:08:07.75\00:08:11.82
FINGERNAILS, HAIR, EVERYTHING -
IT'S CLEANSED AND IT'S SUSTAINED
00:08:11.85\00:08:16.42
BY BLOOD. BLOOD IS
THE LIQUID OF LIFE AND
00:08:16.46\00:08:19.39
JESUS POURED OUT HIS BLOOD TO
TAKE AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.
00:08:19.43\00:08:23.70
THE BIBLE TELLS US
CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS.
00:08:23.73\00:08:29.27
NOW WE DON'T LIKE TO THINK
ABOUT IT BUT WE'VE ALL SINNED.
00:08:29.30\00:08:32.24
YOU SEE, WHEN GOD FIRST MADE
MAN, HE MADE US TO BE MOTIVATED,
00:08:32.27\00:08:38.68
NATURALLY, BY LOVE.
00:08:38.71\00:08:40.55
BUT WHEN MAN CHOSE TO FOLLOW THE
DEVIL, WE TOOK ON THE NATURE OF
00:08:40.58\00:08:44.89
THE DEVIL, WHICH IS THE REVERSE
OF THAT - IT'S SELFISHNESS.
00:08:44.92\00:08:47.82
WE FELL. WE WERE TRICKED.
00:08:47.86\00:08:50.73
AND SO GOD SAID, 'LOOK, I
WANT TO DO SOMETHING TO GIVE
00:08:50.76\00:08:53.16
HUMANITY ANOTHER
CHANCE AT ETERNAL LIFE.
00:08:53.19\00:08:56.03
I WILL GIVE YOU AN
OPPORTUNITY TO CHOOSE.
00:08:56.06\00:08:58.60
DO YOU WANT A HEART THAT IS
MOTIVATED BY SELFISHNESS, LIKE
00:08:58.63\00:09:01.37
THE DEVIL, OR DO YOU
WANT A HEART LIKE MINE THAT IS
00:09:01.40\00:09:03.84
MOTIVATED BY LOVE?' AND
THE ONLY WAY IS TO HAVE THAT
00:09:03.87\00:09:07.11
NEW BIRTH AND TO GET THAT
NEW HEART. WE COME TO JESUS.
00:09:07.14\00:09:09.81
HE TAKES AWAY OUR SINFUL NATURES
AND HE GIVES US HIS OWN HEART -
00:09:09.84\00:09:13.15
HIS OWN SPIRIT. AND
IT'S A LEARNING PROCESS.
00:09:13.18\00:09:15.72
IT DOESN'T
NECESSARILY ALL HAPPEN AT ONCE.
00:09:15.75\00:09:18.25
WHY DID GOD MAKE SUCH A
FANTASTIC SACRIFICE FOR US?
00:09:18.29\00:09:23.12
ANSWER: YOU ALL KNOW THIS ONE
- JOHN CHAPTER 3, VERSE 16, "FOR
00:09:23.16\00:09:27.60
GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT
HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON."
00:09:27.60\00:09:35.27
- THE ONLY TIME THAT GOD WAS
EVER BEGOTTEN AS A MAN WAS IN
00:09:35.30\00:09:38.01
JESUS. GOD THE SON BECAME
A MAN TO SHOW US HOW TO LIVE.
00:09:38.04\00:09:42.44
THREE REASONS JESUS CAME: SHOW
US WHAT THE FATHER IS LIKE, TO
00:09:42.48\00:09:45.85
BE AN EXAMPLE TO YOU AND I - HOW
WE OUGHT TO LIVE - AND THEN TO
00:09:45.88\00:09:51.42
BE OUR SUBSTITUTE -
TO DIE ON THE CROSS.
00:09:51.45\00:09:53.52
AND LOOK AT HOW HE SUFFERED.
THAT'S WHAT WE ALL DESERVE FOR
00:09:53.56\00:09:56.12
OUR SINS. BUT HE
DOESN'T WANT US TO
00:09:56.16\00:09:58.49
SUFFER, HE SAID, 'I WILL TAKE
IT FOR YOU IN YOUR PLACE.' WHAT
00:09:58.53\00:10:01.50
MUST I DO TO BENEFIT
FROM JESUS' SACRIFICIAL DEATH?
00:10:01.53\00:10:05.33
IT IS TRUE THAT JESUS DIED FOR
THE SINS OF THE WHOLE WORLD, BUT
00:10:05.37\00:10:09.40
WILL THE WHOLE
WORLD BE SAVED? NO, WHY?
00:10:09.44\00:10:13.81
YOU MUST DO SOMETHING ABOUT
IT. IT SAYS - IT TELLS US IN THE
00:10:13.84\00:10:18.11
BIBLE WHAT WE NEED TO DO.
BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
00:10:18.15\00:10:21.88
AND THOU SHALT BE SAVED.
BY THE WAY, THE WORD 'BELIEVE'
00:10:21.92\00:10:25.39
DOES NOT SIMPLY MEAN TO
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT HE EXISTED.
00:10:25.42\00:10:29.82
SOME PEOPLE SAY, 'OH, I'M GOING
TO HEAVEN BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN
00:10:29.86\00:10:32.56
JESUS.' BUT THEIR LIFE IS JUST
LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD.
00:10:32.59\00:10:35.00
AND YOU SAY, 'WELL,
WHAT MAKES YOU DIFFERENT?'
00:10:35.03\00:10:37.47
'WELL, I BELIEVE.' 'WELL, ARE
YOU SHOWING THAT YOU BELIEVE BY
00:10:37.50\00:10:40.80
YOUR LIFE?' SEE, IN
THE BIBLE, WHEN IT SAYS
00:10:40.84\00:10:45.24
'BELIEVE' IT MEANS 'BE
LIVE' IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.
00:10:45.27\00:10:48.88
IF YOU BELIEVE THEN YOU RESPOND
ACCORDINGLY. IF YOU SAY, 'LORD,
00:10:48.91\00:10:54.75
LORD' AND YOU DON'T DO ANYTHING
HE SAYS, DO YOU BELIEVE?
00:10:54.78\00:10:57.59
YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE SAYS
THERE ARE DEVILS THAT BELIEVE HE
00:10:57.62\00:11:00.22
EXISTS. THE
DEVILS ACTUALLY BELIEVE
00:11:00.26\00:11:02.62
BETTER THAN US BECAUSE THEY'VE
BEEN AROUND HIM FOR MILLIONS OF
00:11:02.66\00:11:05.03
YEARS OR THOUSANDS OF
YEARS BEFORE THEY FELL.
00:11:05.06\00:11:07.00
SO IT'S MORE THAN JUST
ACKNOWLEDGING HE EXISTS OR EVEN
00:11:07.03\00:11:10.30
ACKNOWLEDGING HE DIED ON THE
CROSS, IT'S SURRENDERING YOUR
00:11:10.33\00:11:13.64
LIFE TO HIM AND SAYING,
'LORD, I'M WILLING TO SERVE YOU.
00:11:13.67\00:11:16.44
I WANT TO LIVE FOR YOU.'
THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS TO BELIEVE.
00:11:16.47\00:11:18.94
IT STARTS WITH BELIEVING HERE,
BUT THEN THAT BELIEF NEEDS TO GO
00:11:18.97\00:11:22.18
INTO THE HEART AND THEN THAT
BELIEF WILL GO FROM THE HEART
00:11:22.21\00:11:25.18
INTO THE LIFE, RIGHT?
THAT'S THE COMPLETE BELIEF.
00:11:25.21\00:11:28.35
HOW THEN AM I
FORGIVEN AND CLEANSED?
00:11:28.38\00:11:31.35
NOW IF WE UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING
ABOUT PROPHECY AND WE MISS THE
00:11:31.39\00:11:34.36
MAIN POINT OF PROPHECY - THAT
JESUS WAS COMING, THEN YOU'VE
00:11:34.39\00:11:37.39
MISSED IT ALL. WE
REALLY WANT TO KNOW HOW DOES
00:11:37.43\00:11:40.40
THIS ALL AFFECT ME?
ALL THESE PROPHECIES IN
00:11:40.43\00:11:43.87
REVELATION TALK
ABOUT THE GOSPEL.
00:11:43.90\00:11:45.57
PEOPLE COME TO THESE SEMINARS
AND THEY SAY, 'PASTOR DOUG, I
00:11:45.60\00:11:48.44
DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT JESUS,
BUT TELL ME ABOUT THE BEAST.
00:11:48.47\00:11:50.37
I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE
ANTICHRIST.' BY THE WAY, THE
00:11:50.41\00:11:53.51
WORD ANTICHRIST DOES NOT APPEAR
IN REVELATION, DID YOU KNOW
00:11:53.54\00:11:55.64
THAT? IT'S IN
THE LETTERS OF JOHN.
00:11:55.68\00:11:57.58
THEY SAY, 'I WANT TO KNOW
ABOUT ARMAGEDDON' AND 'I WANT TO
00:11:57.61\00:12:00.48
KNOW...' WELL, WHAT'S THE
BOOK OF REVELATION CALLED?
00:12:00.52\00:12:03.08
FIRST WORDS: THE
REVELATION OF JESUS .
00:12:03.12\00:12:06.65
SO YOU CAN'T TEACH PROPHECY AND
SEPARATE IT FROM JESUS, FRIENDS.
00:12:06.69\00:12:10.99
AMEN?
00:12:11.03\00:12:12.99
- DON'T GO ANYWHERE,
FRIENDS, IN JUST A MOMENT
00:12:13.26\00:12:15.63
WE'RE GOING TO RETURN WITH THE
REST OF TODAY'S PRESENTATION.
00:12:15.66\00:12:19.33
NO DOUBT, YOU'VE OFTEN HEARD
THAT JESUS DIED FOR YOUR SINS
00:12:19.37\00:12:23.61
AND THAT HE PAID AN
ENORMOUS PRICE TO SAVE
00:12:23.64\00:12:26.01
YOU FROM SIN AND DEATH.
00:12:26.04\00:12:28.18
IT SOUNDS IMPORTANT, BUT HOW
DOES THAT AFFECT YOUR DAY-TO-DAY
00:12:28.21\00:12:31.71
LIFE 2,000 YEARS LATER?
00:12:31.75\00:12:34.22
WELL, FRIEND, YOUR RESPONSE TO
JESUS'S SACRIFICE IS GOING TO BE

HOW YOU UNDERSTAND ITS VALUE.
00:12:38.92\00:12:43.83
IN FACT, YOUR ETERNITY ACTUALLY
HINGES UPON KNOWING THE TRUTH
00:12:43.86\00:12:48.33

WELL, LET'S RETURN TO TODAY'S
PRESENTATION AND LEARN SOME MORE
00:13:20.83\00:13:23.80
AMAZING FACTS
FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
00:13:23.83\00:13:26.13
- HOW THEN AM I TO
BE CLEANSED AND FORGIVEN
00:13:27.67\00:13:29.44
- OR FORGIVEN AND CLEANSED?
00:13:29.47\00:13:32.01
ACTS CHAPTER 3, IT SAYS, 'REPENT
YE THEREFORE AND BE CONVERTED.'
00:13:32.04\00:13:39.21
- THAT'S A CHANGE OF HEART -
'THAT YOUR SINS MIGHT BE BLOTTED
00:13:39.25\00:13:41.92
OUT.' NOW WHAT
DOES REPENTANCE MEAN?
00:13:41.95\00:13:45.15
REPENTANCE IS A SORROW FOR SIN
AND A WILLINGNESS TO TURN AWAY
00:13:45.19\00:13:50.76
FROM IT. YOU'VE GOT
TO LOOK IN THE MIRROR
00:13:50.79\00:13:53.29
AND COME TO TERMS
WITH YOU'VE GOT A PROBLEM.
00:13:53.33\00:13:55.23
GOD CANNOT SAVE YOU, CLEANSE
YOU, HEAL YOU FROM YOUR PROBLEM
00:13:55.26\00:13:57.60
UNTIL YOU ACKNOWLEDGE IT.
00:13:57.63\00:13:59.37
YOU HAVE TO HUMBLE YOURSELF
AND THEN HE CAN LIFT YOU UP.
00:13:59.40\00:14:01.94
AND YOU COME BEFORE THE LORD AND
SAY, 'LORD, I'M A SINNER.' AND
00:14:01.97\00:14:06.21
THE NEXT PART OF THAT - LET'S
GET TO THE NEXT VERSE - IT SAYS
00:14:06.24\00:14:09.58
IN 1 JOHN 1, VERSE 9 - IN
CONNECTION WITH REPENTANCE
00:14:09.61\00:14:12.88
THERE'S SORT OF A
STEREO PART OF THAT.
00:14:12.91\00:14:15.38
IT SAYS, "IF WE CONFESS OUR
SINS, HE IS FAITHFUL AND JUST TO
00:14:15.42\00:14:21.56
FORGIVE US OUR SINS
AND TO CLEANSE US FROM SOME
00:14:21.59\00:14:24.63
UNRIGHTEOUSNESS?" - ALL.
00:14:24.66\00:14:27.50
- DID YOU CATCH THAT?
TO CLEANSE US FROM HOW MUCH
00:14:27.56\00:14:29.30
UNRIGHTEOUSNESS? - ALL.
00:14:29.33\00:14:31.60
- ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. SO
PART OF BEING SORRY IS THEN
00:14:31.63\00:14:34.80
VERBALIZE IT TO THE
LORD. GET OFF BY YOURSELF.
00:14:34.84\00:14:38.34
THIS IS WHAT REAL REPENTANCE
AND REAL SALVATION IS ABOUT.
00:14:38.37\00:14:40.91
INVITING GOD TO
EMPOWER YOU TO BE A NEW PERSON.
00:14:40.94\00:14:43.88
YOU TAKE THE FIRST STEPS
AND DRAW NEAR TO GOD AND IT WILL
00:14:43.91\00:14:46.55
GIVE YOU SUCH A REFRESHING AND
A PEACE THAT COMES AFTERWARD.
00:14:46.58\00:14:50.62
YOU KNOW, NEW THINGS DON'T
SPROUT UNTIL THERE'S BEEN A
00:14:50.65\00:14:53.09
RAIN. AND
SOMETIMES THE NEW BIRTH
00:14:53.12\00:14:55.59
COMES AFTER TEARS AND PAIN
AND THAT'S WHAT REPENTANCE IS.
00:14:55.62\00:14:58.79
QUESTION #7: WHO ENTERS
THE HEART OF EACH BORN-AGAIN
00:14:58.83\00:15:05.03
CHRISTIAN? THE
BIBLE TELLS US IN JOHN 14,
00:15:05.07\00:15:08.80
VERSE 17, EVEN THE "SPIRIT
OF TRUTH...YOU KNOW HIM FOR HE
00:15:08.84\00:15:15.08
DWELLS WITH YOU
AND WILL BE" - WHAT?
00:15:15.11\00:15:17.45
- IN YOU. - IN YOU.
00:15:17.48\00:15:19.85
GOD IS REAL AND JESUS SAID,
'LOOK, I'M GOING THAT I MIGHT
00:15:19.88\00:15:22.95
SEND A COMFORTER - I'M
GOING TO SEND THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:15:22.98\00:15:26.29
I CAN BE WITH YOU PHYSICALLY,
BUT HE WILL BE IN YOU.' AND I
00:15:26.32\00:15:28.92
CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES
I'VE JUST KNOWN THAT THE HOLY
00:15:28.96\00:15:31.73
SPIRIT WAS IN ME
AND PROMPTING ME.
00:15:31.76\00:15:34.56
SOMETIMES HE
PROMPTS ME TO SAY SOMETHING.
00:15:34.60\00:15:36.77
SOMETIMES HE PROMPTS
ME NOT TO SAY SOMETHING.
00:15:36.80\00:15:39.47
SOMETIMES THE HOLY SPIRIT
DIRECTS ME TO, YOU KNOW, AN
00:15:39.50\00:15:42.44
ACTION OR TO DO
SOMETHING FOR SOMEONE.
00:15:42.47\00:15:48.21
I WAS DRIVING UP THE STREET THE
OTHER DAY HERE IN TOWN AND I SAW
00:15:48.24\00:15:51.85
ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE STANDING ON
THE CORNER AND HE HAD AN UNUSUAL
00:15:51.88\00:15:55.75
SIGN. IT SAID,
'I'VE LOST EVERYTHING
00:15:55.78\00:15:57.99
BUT MY FAITH.' AND, YOU KNOW,
I USED TO PANHANDLE AND I SIZED
00:15:58.02\00:16:03.99
HIM UP AND, YOU KNOW, HE LOOKED
LIKE HE WAS SOBER AND MAYBE HE
00:16:04.03\00:16:07.56
REALLY WAS HAVING A HARD TIME
AND, YOU KNOW, I DIDN'T KNOW.
00:16:07.60\00:16:10.93
SO I STOPPED AND I GAVE HIM
A LITTLE BIT AND I GAVE HIM AN
00:16:10.97\00:16:13.90
INVITATION TO THE MEETING AND I
KNEW THE HOLY SPIRIT TOLD ME TO
00:16:13.94\00:16:17.37
DO THAT. WELL, I
THEN WENT ON MY ERRAND
00:16:17.41\00:16:19.27
TO THE STORE RIGHT AROUND THE
CORNER AND, YOU KNOW, I FOUND
00:16:19.31\00:16:22.14
OUT HE REALLY WAS
HUNGRY BECAUSE I SAW HIM COMING
00:16:22.18\00:16:23.91
OUT OF THE STORE
WITH FOOD. - WOW.
00:16:23.95\00:16:26.11
- SO I SAID, 'THANK YOU, LORD,
FOR IMPRESSING ME.' BUT THE HOLY
00:16:26.15\00:16:29.22
SPIRIT WILL TALK TO YOU IN JUST
THESE LITTLE AFFAIRS OF LIFE.
00:16:29.25\00:16:31.62
QUESTION #8: WHY
SHOULD I BE CONFIDENT THAT MY
00:16:31.65\00:16:36.76
NEW BIRTH
EXPERIENCE WILL BE SUCCESSFUL?
00:16:36.79\00:16:39.29
IT SAYS IN PHILIPPIANS 1, VERSE
6, "HE WHO HAS BEGUN A GOOD WORK
00:16:39.33\00:16:45.87
IN YOU WILL PERFORM IT
UNTIL THE DAY OF JESUS CHRIST."
00:16:45.90\00:16:50.24
YOU CAN BE CONFIDENT - IF YOU
00:16:50.27\00:16:51.57
COME TO JESUS ON A DAILY BASIS,
00:16:51.61\00:16:53.41
SURRENDER YOUR LIFE TO HIM,
HE WILL FINISH THE WORK THAT HE
00:16:53.44\00:16:57.55
STARTS IN YOUR LIFE.
PEOPLE SAY, 'OH LORD, BUT I MAY
00:16:57.58\00:17:00.58
FALL.' YOU PROBABLY
WILL. DON'T GET DISCOURAGED.
00:17:00.62\00:17:03.62
WE ALL SOMETIMES GET DISTRACTED
AND WE'LL MAKE MISTAKES AND
00:17:03.65\00:17:07.02
WE'LL FALL, BUT HE THAT BEGAN
A GOOD WORK IN YOU WILL BE THE
00:17:07.06\00:17:10.56
AUTHOR AND THE FINISHER OF YOUR
FAITH. HE WILL FINISH WHAT HE
00:17:10.59\00:17:14.86
STARTED IF YOU CONTINUE
TO SURRENDER YOURSELF TO HIM.
00:17:14.93\00:17:17.90
BECAUSE WHAT'LL HAPPEN IS EITHER
SIN'LL KEEP YOU FROM THE BIBLE
00:17:17.93\00:17:21.77
OR THE BIBLE WILL KEEP YOU FROM
SIN. YOU KEEP PRAYING, YOU KEEP
00:17:21.80\00:17:25.57
READING THE BIBLE, YOU'LL BE SO
MISERABLE WITH YOUR SIN YOU HAVE
00:17:25.61\00:17:28.01
TO GIVE UP GOD OR
YOU'LL GIVE UP YOUR SIN.
00:17:28.04\00:17:29.91
BUT THE TWO
WILL BE INCOMPATIBLE.
00:17:29.94\00:17:31.78
YOU JUST KEEP COMING TO HIM AND
HE'LL FINISH WHAT HE STARTED.
00:17:31.81\00:17:35.35
YOU BELIEVE THAT? SOME
PEOPLE GET DISCOURAGED AND
00:17:35.38\00:17:38.05
THEY THROW THEIR
HANDS IN THE AIR.
00:17:38.09\00:17:39.59
YOU KEEP PLEADING WITH
JESUS. YOU KEEP PRAYING.
00:17:39.62\00:17:41.36
HE WILL TRANSFORM YOU. AND
IT'S A GROWING EXPERIENCE SO
00:17:41.39\00:17:44.93
DON'T GET DISCOURAGED.
HOW CAN I KNOW THAT JESUS
00:17:44.96\00:17:47.83
ACCEPTS ME AND THAT
I'M CALLED HIS CHILD?
00:17:47.86\00:17:51.87
WELL, BECAUSE THE
BIBLE MAKES SOME PROMISES.
00:17:51.90\00:17:54.14
THE BIBLE TELLS US IN TITUS
1, VERSE 2, "...GOD, THAT CANNOT
00:17:54.17\00:17:58.97
LIE, HAS PROMISED." SOME
THINGS GOD CAN'T DO - ONE
00:17:59.01\00:18:03.88
THING HE CAN'T
DO IS HE CAN'T LIE.
00:18:03.91\00:18:06.48
GOD ALSO CANNOT FIND A
SINNER THAT HE DOESN'T LOVE.
00:18:06.51\00:18:10.65
I KNOW, I USED TO THINK, 'OH
LORD, WELL, I KNOW YOU CREATED
00:18:10.69\00:18:14.32
THIS PLAN OF SALVATION FOR
PEOPLE BUT I'VE GONE TOO FAR.'
00:18:14.36\00:18:18.39
AND GOD WANTS US TO KNOW
'I WOULDN'T HAVE GONE THROUGH
00:18:18.43\00:18:21.70
EVERYTHING I WENT THROUGH IF IT
WASN'T POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO MAKE
00:18:21.73\00:18:23.70
IT.' MATTHEW CHAPTER 7, VERSE 7,
00:18:23.73\00:18:27.24
IT SAYS, "ASK AND
IT SHALL BE GIVEN YOU."
00:18:27.27\00:18:32.04
WHAT'S THE MOST
IMPORTANT THING WE CAN ASK FOR?
00:18:32.07\00:18:34.71
JESUS SAID, 'IF YOU HAVE A SON
AND HE COMES TO YOU - MATTHEW
00:18:34.74\00:18:38.68
CHAPTER 7 - 'AND SAYS,
'CAN I HAVE A LOAF OF BREAD?'
00:18:38.71\00:18:41.78
WOULD YOU GIVE HIM A STONE?'
THAT'D BE KIND OF A CRUEL JOKE
00:18:41.82\00:18:44.75
IF THEY'RE HUNGRY. OR IF
HE SAYS, 'CAN I HAVE A FISH?'
00:18:44.79\00:18:47.59
WOULD YOU GIVE HIM A SCORPION?
00:18:47.62\00:18:50.46
IF HE ASKS FOR AN EGG
WOULD YOU GIVE HIM A SERPENT?'
00:18:50.49\00:18:55.03
- LUKE ADDS ONE MORE - HE THEN
SAYS, 'IF YOU THEN, BEING EVIL,
00:18:55.06\00:18:58.43
KNOW HOW TO GIVE GOOD GIFTS UNTO
YOUR CHILDREN, HOW MUCH MORE
00:18:58.47\00:19:03.07
WILL YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN GIVE
THE HOLY SPIRIT TO THOSE THAT
00:19:03.10\00:19:06.41
ASK HIM? HE
JUST WANTS US TO ASK.
00:19:06.44\00:19:10.48
EVERY DAY, ASK AND WHAT HAPPENS?
'ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE.'
00:19:10.51\00:19:14.55
HOW WILL TRUE
CONVERSION CHANGE A LIFE?
00:19:14.58\00:19:18.05
NOW WE'RE GOING TO GIVE
YOU A SPECTRUM OF ANSWERS HERE.
00:19:18.09\00:19:21.16
IT SAYS IN JOHN 13:35, "BY THIS
SHALL ALL MEN KNOW THAT YE ARE
00:19:21.19\00:19:27.23
MY DISCIPLES, IF YE
HAVE LOVE ONE TO ANOTHER."
00:19:27.30\00:19:30.97
GOD'LL DO SOMETHING IN
YOUR HEART - BELIEVE IT OR NOT,
00:19:31.00\00:19:34.14
YOU'LL NOT ONLY BE ABLE TO LOVE
THE PEOPLE THAT YOU LIVE WITH,
00:19:34.17\00:19:36.67
YOU'LL BE ABLE TO
LOVE YOUR ENEMIES.
00:19:36.71\00:19:39.11
GOD CAN CHANGE YOUR HEART.
HE CAN GIVE THE ABILITY TO
00:19:39.14\00:19:43.35
FORGIVE. AND SOME
OF US NEED THE SPIRIT
00:19:43.38\00:19:45.81
OF GOD TO FORGIVE OURSELVES
BECAUSE WE FEEL SO GUILTY.
00:19:45.85\00:19:49.38
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU,
BUT THERE'S PLACES IN MY PAST I
00:19:49.42\00:19:52.05
DON'T WANT TO GO.
WHENEVER I THINK ABOUT WHAT I
00:19:52.09\00:19:54.09
SAID OR WHAT I
DID, I JUST CRINGE.
00:19:54.12\00:19:55.86
AND THEN I REMEMBER THAT JESUS
HAS FORGIVEN ME, SO WHAT RIGHT
00:19:55.89\00:19:59.36
DO I HAVE TO BE A
HIGHER COURT THAN GOD.
00:19:59.39\00:20:03.10
IF HE'S FORGIVEN ME, THEN THAT
MUST BE GOOD FOR ME TOO, AMEN?
00:20:03.13\00:20:07.00
HE'LL HELP US HAVE LOVE FOR
HIM AND LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER.
00:20:07.04\00:20:10.51
NOW I'M GOING THROUGH, KIND OF,
THE ALPHABETICAL ANSWERS HERE.
00:20:10.54\00:20:13.21
ANSWER B - THIS IS IN A SERIES
THAT FALLS UNDER THAT QUESTION -
00:20:13.24\00:20:15.88
"IF ANY MAN BE IN
CHRIST, HE IS A" - WHAT?
00:20:15.91\00:20:21.35
- NEW CREATURE.
- "A NEW CREATURE.
00:20:21.38\00:20:23.08
OLD THINGS ARE PASSED
AWAY. ALL THINGS ARE MADE NEW."
00:20:23.12\00:20:26.35
WE - YOU BECOME TRANSFORMED
AND THINGS ARE ALL DIFFERENT.
00:20:26.39\00:20:32.23
THINGS THAT YOU
ONCE LOVED, YOU NOW HATE.
00:20:32.26\00:20:35.16
I USED TO - THE FIRST FEW
TIMES I WENT TO CHURCH, I'LL BE
00:20:35.20\00:20:37.93
PERFECTLY HONEST WITH YOU, I
GREW UP WITH THE MUSIC OF THE
00:20:37.97\00:20:40.30
WORLD. MY MOTHER
WAS A SONGWRITER AND
00:20:40.34\00:20:42.60
GREAT COMPOSERS CAME TO
OUR HOUSE AND I LOVE MUSIC, BUT
00:20:42.64\00:20:45.24
CHURCH MUSIC?
WHOA. IT WAS SO SLOW.
00:20:45.27\00:20:48.68
I'D GO TO CHURCH AND I'D LOOK AT
THE HYMN THAT THEY PICKED IN THE
00:20:48.71\00:20:52.81
BULLETIN AND IT WOULD SAY - IF
IT HAD MORE THAN THREE VERSES, I
00:20:52.85\00:20:55.35
WENT TO THE BATHROOM UNTIL THEY
GOT DONE SINGING. THE THINGS I
00:20:55.38\00:21:00.46
ONCE LOVED, I HATED AND
THE THINGS I ONCE HATED I LOVE.
00:21:00.49\00:21:03.09
NOW I HEAR THOSE SONGS AND
IT JUST BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES
00:21:03.12\00:21:05.46
BECAUSE I THINK ABOUT THE WORDS
AND WHAT THEY MEAN. PLACES I
00:21:05.49\00:21:08.50
USED TO LOVE TO GO, I HATE
NOW. THINGS I USED TO LOVE TO DO
00:21:08.53\00:21:11.67
I DON'T WANT TO DO AND THINGS
I USED TO HATE I WANT TO DO.
00:21:11.70\00:21:13.74
I MEAN, GOD JUST CHANGES YOU -
MAKES YOU A WHOLE NEW CREATURE.
00:21:13.77\00:21:16.94
ANSWER C: 1 JOHN 3:22, "...WE
KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS, AND DO" -
00:21:16.97\00:21:24.68
THERE'S THAT WORD AGAIN - "THOSE
THINGS THAT ARE PLEASING IN HIS
00:21:24.71\00:21:28.15
SIGHT." THIS IS
WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES.
00:21:28.18\00:21:30.59
HE MAKES YOU A NEW CREATURE
AND YOU WANT TO BE A DOER OF THE
00:21:30.62\00:21:33.59
WORD. GOD'LL JUST
TOTALLY TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE.
00:21:33.62\00:21:37.66
ANSWER D: IT SAYS, "BE NOT
CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD BUT BE
00:21:37.69\00:21:43.93
YE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING
OF YOUR MIND THAT WE MIGHT PROVE
00:21:43.97\00:21:49.64
WHAT IS THAT GOOD AND ACCEPTABLE
AND PERFECT WILL OF GOD.
00:21:49.67\00:21:54.01
IT SAYS, 'YOU SHALL
BE WITNESSES UNTO ME.'
00:21:54.04\00:21:58.41
THEN WE LET OUR LIGHT SHINE.
00:21:58.45\00:22:00.35
WE SHOW OTHERS
WHAT JESUS IS LIKE.
00:22:00.38\00:22:02.22
WHAT WONDERFUL PROMISES
COME WITH THE CHRISTIAN LIFE?
00:22:02.25\00:22:06.99
A NUMBER OF OTHER
WONDERFUL PROMISES.
00:22:07.02\00:22:09.59
A - WE'LL DO THESE
QUICKLY, OKAY? PHILIPPIANS 4:13,
00:22:09.62\00:22:12.66
"I CAN DO" - HOW MUCH? - ALL.
00:22:12.69\00:22:15.76
- "ALL THINGS THROUGH
CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME."
00:22:15.80\00:22:18.00
ANSWER B - PHILIPPIANS 4:19
- THE BIBLE SAYS, "GOD SHALL
00:22:18.03\00:22:23.81
SUPPLY ALL YOUR NEEDS."
HE WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU.
00:22:23.84\00:22:28.48
HE'LL GIVE YOU EVERYTHING
YOU NEED TO PROSPER, AS A PARENT
00:22:28.51\00:22:31.15
WOULD. MARK CHAPTER 10, VERSE 27
- DON'T FORGET THIS ONE - "WITH
00:22:31.18\00:22:36.22
GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE."
ANSWER D - JOHN 15, VERSE 11 -
00:22:36.25\00:22:44.26
IT SAYS, "THAT YOUR JOY" -
IS THE CHRISTIAN LIFE A SAD
00:22:44.29\00:22:49.00
EXPERIENCE OR IS
THE GOSPEL GOOD NEWS?
00:22:49.03\00:22:51.47
CHRISTIANS OUGHT TO BE THE
HAPPIEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD.
00:22:51.50\00:22:53.87
WE HAVE ETERNAL
LIFE THAT BEGINS NOW.
00:22:53.90\00:22:56.27
WE BECOME
CITIZENS IN HIS KINGDOM.
00:22:56.30\00:22:58.57
GOD WILL TRANSFORM YOUR
LIFE AND GIVE YOU A PURPOSE.
00:22:58.61\00:23:01.51
JOHN 10:10 - IT SAYS, "THAT THEY
MIGHT HAVE LIFE MORE ABUNDANT."
00:23:01.54\00:23:09.75
JESUS DOESN'T COME TO TAKE AWAY
YOUR LIFE, HE WANTS YOU TO HAVE
00:23:09.78\00:23:11.59
AN ABUNDANT LIFE.
HEBREWS 13, VERSE 5, "I WILL" -
00:23:11.62\00:23:17.79
JESUS PROMISES - "I WILL
NEVER LEAVE YOU OR FORSAKE YOU."
00:23:17.83\00:23:22.60
HE SAYS WHEREVER
YOU GO, HE'S WITH YOU.
00:23:22.63\00:23:25.63
HE'LL WATCH OVER YOU. AND
THEN, YOU CAN ALSO READ IN
00:23:25.67\00:23:29.14
HEBREWS CHAPTER 13, VERSE 6 -
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE AFRAID OF
00:23:29.17\00:23:33.81
ANYTHING. SOME
PEOPLE LIVE IN FEAR.
00:23:33.84\00:23:35.38
IT SAYS, "I WILL NOT
FEAR WHAT MAN CAN DO UNTO ME."
00:23:35.41\00:23:40.18
YOU KNOW, IF YOU HAVE GOD IN
YOUR LIFE, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE
00:23:40.22\00:23:43.99
AFRAID OF ANYTHING. IF
YOU'RE FEARING GOD, YOU DON'T
00:23:44.02\00:23:46.15
HAVE TO FEAR ANYTHING ELSE.
IF YOU DO NOT FEAR GOD, YOU'RE
00:23:46.19\00:23:48.39
GOING TO END UP
FEARING EVERYTHING ELSE.
00:23:48.42\00:23:50.36
PEOPLE HAVING PANIC ATTACKS
- A LOT OF PEOPLE LIVE IN FEAR.
00:23:50.39\00:23:53.40
SOME ARE AFRAID TO LEAVE
THEIR HOUSES - THEY'RE TAKING
00:23:53.43\00:23:55.63
MEDICATIONS AND I'M NOT A DOCTOR
BUT I THINK A LOT OF THESE
00:23:55.66\00:23:58.10
THINGS COULD BE
RESOLVED BY HAVING FAITH IN GOD.
00:23:58.13\00:24:01.87
HE GIVES YOU - THAT'S
THE LAST ONE - JOHN 14:27 -
00:24:01.90\00:24:07.18
HE SAYS, "MY PEACE I GIVE YOU."
00:24:07.21\00:24:11.25
JESUS COULD SLEEP THROUGH A
STORM BECAUSE HE KNEW HIS FATHER
00:24:11.28\00:24:13.82
WAS ALWAYS WITH HIM AND
JESUS WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU.
00:24:13.85\00:24:16.69
SO WHAT'S THE SUM OF
WHAT I'M SAYING, FRIENDS?
00:24:16.72\00:24:20.36
THAT THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY
FOR YOU TO REALLY HAVE PEACE AND
00:24:20.39\00:24:24.29
POWER AND PURPOSE IN YOUR LIFE
AND IT'S TO ACCEPT THE SACRIFICE
00:24:24.33\00:24:28.23
OF GOD'S SON. YOU KNOW,
THIS TOOK ON NEW MEANING FOR ME.
00:24:28.26\00:24:32.67
I USED TO READ THAT VERSE
ALL THE TIME: 'GOD SO LOVED THE
00:24:32.70\00:24:35.04
WORLD HE GAVE HIS SON' AND THEN
A FEW YEARS AGO I WAS DOING SOME
00:24:35.07\00:24:38.84
EVANGELISTIC MEETINGS IN
THE PHILIPPINES AND WHILE I WAS
00:24:38.87\00:24:43.04
THERE I THOUGHT, I'M GOING
TO CALL MY FIRSTBORN SON, MICAH,
00:24:43.08\00:24:45.85
AND JUST SEE HOW HE'S DOING.
THEY HAD THIS NEW TECHNOLOGY
00:24:45.88\00:24:49.68
CALLED SKYPE - IT HAD A
DIFFERENT NAME BACK THEN AND I
00:24:49.72\00:24:53.19
WANTED TO MAKE A CHEAP
PHONE CALL ON MY COMPUTER.
00:24:53.22\00:24:56.96
SO I CALLED HIM UP. WE
TALKED A LITTLE BIT AS A
00:24:56.99\00:24:59.36
FATHER AND SON -
JUST, 'WHAT YOU DOING?
00:24:59.39\00:25:01.23
OH, I WISH YOU WERE HERE
WITH ME.' AND WE TALKED AND JUST
00:25:01.26\00:25:03.10
BEFORE I HUNG UP I THOUGHT ABOUT
SAYING, 'YOU KNOW, I LOVE YOU
00:25:03.13\00:25:06.70
SON.' BUT YOU KNOW HE'S A TOUGH
KID AND YOU KNOW YOU GO TO HUG
00:25:06.74\00:25:09.57
HIM AND 'OH, C'MON DAD, YOU'RE
GETTING MUSHY.' AND SO I SAID,
00:25:09.60\00:25:12.87
'I LOVE YOU, I'LL SEE YOU WHEN
I GET BACK.' THAT NEXT MORNING I
00:25:12.91\00:25:15.21
GOT A PHONE CALL. HE
WAS A CONTRACTOR - 23 YEARS
00:25:15.24\00:25:21.68
OLD - HAD A FATAL
CONSTRUCTION ACCIDENT.
00:25:21.72\00:25:24.99
AND WHEN YOU GET THE WORD, AS
A PARENT, THAT YOU'VE LOST YOUR
00:25:25.02\00:25:30.83
CHILD, YOU WOULD DO ANYTHING
TO BRING HIM BACK TO LIFE.
00:25:30.86\00:25:35.60
DEATH IS SUCH A
TERRIBLE PERMANENT SITUATION.
00:25:35.63\00:25:40.84
AND I CANNOT READ THAT VERSE
ANYMORE, WHERE IT SAYS 'FOR GOD
00:25:40.87\00:25:44.37
SO LOVED THE WORLD HE GAVE HIS
SON' THE SAME WAY BECAUSE I KNOW
00:25:44.41\00:25:49.78
HOW MUCH IT BROKE MY
HEART - AND OUR FAMILY -
00:25:49.81\00:25:52.61
WHEN WE GOT THE
NEWS ABOUT MICAH.
00:25:52.65\00:25:56.25
AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE
RESURRECTION AND GETTING OTHER
00:25:56.28\00:25:58.95
PEOPLE READY. THAT'S
THE PURPOSE FOR LIFE.
00:25:58.99\00:26:01.69
HE WANTS YOU TO BE READY
BUT HE WON'T FORCE YOU, FRIENDS.
00:26:01.72\00:26:04.66
YOU NEED TO MAKE THE DECISION.
