TODAY'S PRESENTATION
IS AN EXCERPT FROM THE
00:00:44.46\00:00:46.46
"SACRAMENTO CENTRAL
STUDY HOUR" VIDEO SERIES.
00:00:46.46\00:00:51.13
>> WE'RE DEALING WITH LESSON
NUMBER FIVE AND IT TALKS ABOUT
00:00:53.46\00:00:56.20
GENDER AND DISCIPLESHIP.
00:00:56.20\00:00:58.96
AND MORE SPECIFICALLY, IT'S
TALKING ABOUT WOMEN DISCIPLES
00:00:58.96\00:01:02.60
IN THE BIBLE.
00:01:02.60\00:01:04.20
AND IT'S ESPECIALLY
HIGHLIGHTING SEVERAL WOMEN THAT
00:01:04.20\00:01:07.76
WERE DISCIPLES OF JESUS.
00:01:07.76\00:01:10.16
AND WE HAVE A MEMORY VERSE.
00:01:10.16\00:01:12.43
THE MEMORY VERSE
IS FROM LUKE 1:38.
00:01:12.43\00:01:15.30
IT'S REALLY THE FIRST
PART OF THAT VERSE, LUKE 1:38.
00:01:15.30\00:01:18.16
AND I'D LIKE TO INVITE
YOU TO SAY THAT WITH ME.
00:01:18.16\00:01:23.56
YOU READY?
00:01:23.56\00:01:25.10
"THEN MARY SAID, 'BEHOLD
THE MAIDSERVANT OF THE LORD!
00:01:25.10\00:01:30.06
LET IT BE TO ME
ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD.'
00:01:30.06\00:01:32.00
SOMEONE SAID, "IS THERE A
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN APOSTLES
00:01:32.00\00:01:34.56
AND DISCIPLES?"
00:01:34.56\00:01:36.63
LET ME PUT THAT TO YOU:
IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
00:01:36.63\00:01:39.13
APOSTLES AND DISCIPLES?
00:01:39.13\00:01:42.46
YES.
00:01:42.46\00:01:44.90
WHEN I SAY THE 12 APOSTLES,
IS THAT DISTINCT FROM DISCIPLES?
00:01:44.90\00:01:51.16
WERE THERE ANY WOMEN APOSTLES?
00:01:51.16\00:01:55.86
COME ON, TALK TO ME.
00:01:55.86\00:01:58.56
I MEAN IF--NAME
'EM IF THERE WAS ONE.
00:01:58.56\00:02:00.56
I DON'T KNOW,
MILDRED THE APOSTLE.
00:02:00.56\00:02:02.13
I DON'T KNOW OF ANY,
BUT THE ONES I READ ABOUT,
00:02:02.13\00:02:04.70
HE CHOSE MEN.
00:02:04.70\00:02:06.23
BUT WERE THERE WOMEN DISCIPLES?
00:02:06.23\00:02:09.50
YES THERE WERE.
00:02:09.50\00:02:10.46
AS A MATTER OF FACT, I TRICK
PEOPLE SOMETIMES AND I SAY,
00:02:10.46\00:02:12.60
"TODAY, WE'RE GOING TO
PREACH ABOUT THE MOST DEVOTED OF
00:02:12.60\00:02:15.43
JESUS' DISCIPLES."
00:02:15.43\00:02:16.50
AND I ASK, "WHICH OF
THE DISCIPLES WAS THE MOST
00:02:16.50\00:02:18.30
DEVOTED?"
00:02:18.30\00:02:19.06
AND THEY SAY, "OH, LUKE OR
WAS IT THOM--" LUKE TECHNICALLY
00:02:19.06\00:02:21.70
WAS AN APOSTLE, WAS HE?
00:02:21.70\00:02:22.86
THEY SAY, YOU KNOW,
"PETER AND JAMES, JOHN AND--"
00:02:22.86\00:02:26.73
AND I SAY, "NO, IT WAS MARY."
00:02:26.73\00:02:28.96
WHEN YOU SAY THE DISCIPLES,
PEOPLE AUTOMATICALLY START
00:02:28.96\00:02:32.56
THINKING ABOUT THE 12.
00:02:32.56\00:02:34.23
BUT REALLY, EVERY BELIEVER IS
CALLED, MAN OR WOMAN, IS CALLED
00:02:34.23\00:02:38.66
TO BE A DISCIPLE.
00:02:38.66\00:02:39.66
ISN'T THAT RIGHT?
00:02:39.66\00:02:40.76
WE'RE CALLED TO MODEL IN OUR
LIVES THE TEACHING AND THE LIFE
00:02:40.76\00:02:45.26
OF JESUS.
00:02:45.26\00:02:46.76
AND TO--THIS LESSON IS SORT
OF DEDICATED TO EMPHASIZE THAT
00:02:46.76\00:02:51.20
POINT ALL MEN AND WOMEN ARE
CALLED TO BE DISCIPLES AND USE
00:02:51.20\00:02:55.90
OUR VARIOUS GIFTS.
00:02:55.90\00:02:57.16
NOW, ARE MEN
AND WOMEN DIFFERENT?
00:02:57.16\00:02:59.93
I MEAN BEYOND THE OBVIOUS
PLUMBING DIFFERENCES THAT WE
00:02:59.93\00:03:03.00
KNOW ABOUT.
00:03:03.00\00:03:04.30
ARE WE
DIFFERENT IN OUR THINKING?
00:03:04.30\00:03:07.13
HOW MANY OF YOU WOULD RAISE
YOUR HANDS AND SAY THAT YOU ARE
00:03:07.13\00:03:10.63
CONVINCED THAT MEN AND
WOMEN THINK DIFFERENTLY?
00:03:10.63\00:03:16.56
OH, THAT MUST BE AT LEAST 98%.
00:03:16.56\00:03:20.83
THAT'S TRUE.
00:03:20.83\00:03:21.96
I WOULD AGREE.
00:03:21.96\00:03:23.36
I THINK YOU CAN MAKE
SOME GENERAL STATEMENTS.
00:03:23.36\00:03:26.00
NOW, THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS.
00:03:26.00\00:03:28.06
I BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE
WOMEN WHO ARE CALLED TO TEACH.
00:03:28.06\00:03:32.16
I BELIEVE THERE ARE
MEN WHO ARE CALLED TO COOK.
00:03:32.16\00:03:35.20
YOU KNOW, I'M NOT TRYING TO
OVER-CATEGORIZE THESE THINGS.
00:03:35.20\00:03:39.66
YOU KNOW, I'M GIVING
YOU SOME GENERAL TERMS.
00:03:39.66\00:03:42.66
BUT THERE IS A DISTINCTION
IN THE ROLES OF MEN AND WOMEN.
00:03:42.66\00:03:46.46
NOW, I DON'T WANT TO--YOU
KNOW, I DON'T WANT TO JUMP ON MY
00:03:46.46\00:03:49.90
HORSE AND RIDE IT ALL AROUND
THIS LESSON RIGHT NOW BECAUSE
00:03:49.90\00:03:52.40
I WANT TO BE TRUE TO THE LESSON.
00:03:52.40\00:03:54.96
I DO NOT FIND AN EXAMPLE
IN THE BIBLE OF GOD ORDAINING
00:03:54.96\00:03:59.40
WOMEN AS PASTORS.
00:03:59.40\00:04:02.03
BUT WOMEN ARE CERTAINLY CALLED
AS DISCIPLES IN MINISTRY IN
00:04:02.03\00:04:06.56
PROCLAMATION.
00:04:06.56\00:04:08.06
YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCE?
00:04:08.06\00:04:09.20
WOMEN ARE CALLED TO THE OFFICE
OF PROPHETESS IN THE BIBLE.
00:04:09.20\00:04:12.70
BUT I'M A BIBLE PREACHER
AND YOU JUST HAVE TO TAKE IT UP
00:04:12.70\00:04:15.60
WITH THE LORD.
00:04:15.60\00:04:16.23
I DON'T FIND EXAMPLES IN THE
BIBLE OF WOMEN BEING ORDAINED
00:04:16.23\00:04:19.23
AS PASTORS OR PRIESTS.
00:04:19.23\00:04:21.10
THAT IS A DIFFERENT ROLE.
00:04:21.10\00:04:22.36
I THINK MEN ARE CALLED
TO BE THE SERVANT LEADERS IN
00:04:22.36\00:04:25.26
FAMILIES.
00:04:25.26\00:04:27.16
I BELIEVE THE FAMILY,
THE CHURCH IS AN EXTENSION
00:04:27.16\00:04:30.50
OF THE FAMILY.
00:04:30.50\00:04:31.70
BUT YOU NEED
BOTH MINISTRIES THERE.
00:04:31.70\00:04:35.16
AND SO HERE WITH THAT BACKDROP,
WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT SOME
00:04:35.16\00:04:38.90
OF THE DISCIPLES OF
JESUS, WOMEN DISCIPLES.
00:04:38.90\00:04:42.80
THE FIRST ONE IS OBVIOUSLY
THE ONE WHO WAS THE VEHICLE TO
00:04:42.80\00:04:47.06
BRINGING THE
MESSIAH INTO THE WORLD.
00:04:47.06\00:04:49.70
THE ONE WHO IS THE CONDUIT OF
THE INCARNATION WAS NOT A MAN,
00:04:49.70\00:04:55.00
IT WAS A WOMAN.
00:04:55.00\00:04:56.06
SO WHEN THE LORD ENTRUSTED
THIS DIVINE SEED TO EARTH TO BE
00:04:56.06\00:05:03.46
NURTURED, TO BE PROTECTED,
TO BE PROVIDED FOR, HE DID NOT
00:05:03.46\00:05:07.16
PICK A MAN
PRIMARILY, HE PICKED A WOMAN.
00:05:07.16\00:05:10.36
AND WHAT WAS HER NAME?
00:05:10.36\00:05:12.26
THAT WAS OUR MEMORY VERSE.
00:05:12.26\00:05:13.73
SO, I'LL READ IT TO YOU AGAIN.
00:05:13.73\00:05:16.43
IT'S LUKE CHAPTER 1 VERSE--AND
THIS IS WHERE IT SAYS, "BE IT
00:05:16.43\00:05:19.53
UNTO ME."
00:05:19.53\00:05:20.40
LUKE 1:37-38, "FOR WITH
GOD, NOTHING WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE.
00:05:20.40\00:05:26.16
THEN MARY SAID, 'BEHOLD
THE MAIDSERVANT OF THE LORD!'"
00:05:26.16\00:05:30.66
NOW, WHAT IS EVERY DISCIPLE?
00:05:30.66\00:05:33.83
A SERVANT OF THE LORD.
00:05:33.83\00:05:36.13
AND THE LORD HAS MALE
SERVANTS AND HE HAS MAIDSERVANTS
00:05:36.13\00:05:39.60
AND MARY RECOGNIZED THAT HER
CALLING WAS TO SERVE THE LORD,
00:05:39.60\00:05:43.76
THAT JESUS MIGHT BE DELIVERED
TO THE WORLD THROUGH HER.
00:05:43.76\00:05:49.36
NOW, WAS THAT CALLING JUST FOR
MARY OR IS EVERY DISCIPLE BEING
00:05:49.36\00:05:53.16
CALLED TO ALLOW CHRIST TO
BE DELIVERED THROUGH THEM?
00:05:53.16\00:05:58.40
EVERYONE, CHRIST BE BORN IN US.
00:05:58.40\00:06:01.16
YOU KNOW THAT SONG WE
SING OF THIS, "O LITTLE TOWN OF
00:06:01.16\00:06:03.53
BETHLEHEM, BE BORN IN US
TODAY," EVERYBODY IN THAT
00:06:03.53\00:06:06.83
SENSE.
00:06:06.83\00:06:07.93
AND BEFORE I GO ANY FARTHER IN
THE LESSON, NOT ALWAYS--AND IN
00:06:07.93\00:06:12.90
OTHER WORDS, I DON'T WANT TO
MAKE IT A HARD AND FAST RULE--
00:06:12.90\00:06:15.13
BUT YOU'D BE SURPRISED
HOW OFTEN IT IS TRUE THAT WHEN
00:06:15.13\00:06:18.73
WOMEN APPEAR IN THE LIFE AND
MINISTRY OF JESUS, TRY PUTTING
00:06:18.73\00:06:24.66
ON THAT ANALOGY OF A
WOMAN REPRESENTING A CHURCH.
00:06:24.66\00:06:29.46
PUT THAT TEMPLATE
OVER THE STORY AND SEE WHAT
00:06:29.46\00:06:31.83
YOU GET OUT OF IT.
00:06:31.83\00:06:33.33
AND I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO
FIND MORE TIMES THAN NOT WHEN
00:06:33.33\00:06:35.63
YOU SEE THE WOMEN AROUND JESUS
IN DISCIPLESHIP, THEY ARE OFTEN
00:06:35.63\00:06:40.63
A TYPE OF THE CHURCH.
00:06:40.63\00:06:42.60
MORE TIMES THAN NOT WHEN I
LOOK AT IT, I SEE IT THERE.
00:06:42.60\00:06:45.13
MARY IS A TYPE.
00:06:45.13\00:06:47.43
A MATTER OF FACT, WHEN YOU GET
TO REVELATION 12 AND IT TALKS
00:06:47.43\00:06:51.43
ABOUT A WOMAN GREAT WITH CHILD,
AND THE DRAGON IS TRYING TO
00:06:51.43\00:06:55.00
DEVOUR THE CHILD AS SOON AS IT
IS BORN; THAT WOMAN REPRESENTS
00:06:55.00\00:06:58.30
WHAT?
00:06:58.30\00:06:59.86
THE CHURCH THERE.
00:06:59.86\00:07:02.03
YEAH, IT'S VERY CLEAR.
00:07:02.03\00:07:02.73
THE DRAGON WAS WROTH
WITH THE WOMAN AND TRIES
00:07:02.73\00:07:04.46
TO DESTROY HER SEED.
00:07:04.46\00:07:05.53
BUT YOU KNOW, OUR
CATHOLIC FRIENDS SAY THAT WOMAN
00:07:05.53\00:07:08.93
IN REVELATION 12 IS MARY.
00:07:08.93\00:07:11.40
BECAUSE THE TYPOLOGY IS SO
STRONG, YOU CAN SEE WHERE THEY
00:07:11.40\00:07:14.66
CONFUSE IT.
00:07:14.66\00:07:15.73
BUT NO, THAT WOMAN IN
REVELATION 12, SHE'S A TYPE OF
00:07:15.73\00:07:18.06
THE CHURCH.
00:07:18.06\00:07:18.80
BUT MARY WAS GREAT WITH CHILD
AND THE DRAGON TRIED TO DESTROY
00:07:18.80\00:07:22.50
BABY JESUS THROUGH THE ROMAN
POWER AND KING HEROD AND SO,
00:07:22.50\00:07:25.40
THERE'S SOME TYPES THERE.
00:07:25.40\00:07:26.60
AND SO, IN THE SAME WAY,
THE CHURCH IS TO PRESENT JESUS
00:07:26.60\00:07:34.46
TO THE WORLD AS MARY WAS
THAT VEHICLE IN THE SAME WAY.
00:07:34.46\00:07:39.13
CAN YOU IMAGINE BEING
THE MOTHER OF THE MESSIAH
00:07:39.13\00:07:43.76
AND A DISCIPLE OF THE
MESSIAH AT THE SAME TIME?
00:07:43.76\00:07:47.00
DID MARY EVER HAVE
A ROLE TEACHING JESUS?
00:07:47.00\00:07:51.60
SHE WAS TEACHING
HER ULTIMATE TEACHER.
00:07:51.60\00:07:55.16
YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS
I THINK IS INTERESTING FOR
00:07:55.16\00:07:57.96
PARENTS, MOST OF OUR LIVES
WITH OUR CHILDREN, WE'VE GOT
00:07:57.96\00:08:01.16
THE ROLE OF TEACHER.
00:08:01.16\00:08:03.60
BUT AS THEY GET OLDER
BECAUSE THEY'RE EXPOSED TO LIFE
00:08:03.60\00:08:06.56
AND THEY'RE GOING TO SCHOOL,
THEY'RE GOING TO COLLEGE,
00:08:06.56\00:08:08.23
THEY HAVE EXPERIENCES.
00:08:08.23\00:08:09.03
WE'RE NOT ALWAYS AT THEIR SIDE.
00:08:09.03\00:08:10.13
THEY START LEARNING
THINGS WE DON'T KNOW.
00:08:10.13\00:08:12.60
AND IT'S REALLY SOMETHING
WHEN YOU LISTEN TO YOUR ADULT
00:08:12.60\00:08:14.93
CHILDREN AND THEY
START TEACHING YOU.
00:08:14.93\00:08:17.93
AS A MATTER OF FACT, IT'S HARD.
00:08:17.93\00:08:19.20
AT FIRST YOU SAY,
"I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO LEARN
00:08:19.20\00:08:21.20
ANYTHING FROM YOU.
00:08:21.20\00:08:22.36
HOW COULD YOU KNOW
SOMETHING I DON'T KNOW?"
00:08:22.36\00:08:24.33
I DON'T THINK MY FATHER
EVER COULD ACCEPT THAT I KNEW
00:08:24.33\00:08:26.13
SOMETHING HE DIDN'T KNOW.
00:08:26.13\00:08:27.80
BUT IN A SENSE, IT'S KIND OF
REFRESHING WHEN YOU SEE THAT.
00:08:27.80\00:08:31.86
WELL, MARY HAD TO HAVE THAT
TRANSITION WHEN CHRIST BEGAN
00:08:31.86\00:08:34.86
HIS MINISTRY.
00:08:34.86\00:08:35.86
AT FIRST, SHE'S
TELLING HIM WHAT TO DO.
00:08:35.86\00:08:37.93
YOU KNOW, "THEY
HAVE NO WINE," REMEMBER?
00:08:37.93\00:08:40.73
AND THEN LATER, SHE REALIZED
HE HAD A DIVINE KNOWLEDGE
00:08:40.73\00:08:45.33
AND HE WAS TEACHING HER.
00:08:45.33\00:08:46.73
SHE BECAME A DISCIPLE OF CHRIST.
00:08:46.73\00:08:49.60
LET'S GO ONTO THE NEXT SECTION
WHERE IT TALKS ABOUT FEMALE
00:08:49.60\00:08:52.33
FOLLOWERS OF JESUS.
00:08:52.33\00:08:55.10
AND I'LL READ FOR YOU
LUKE 8:1-3 AND I'VE GOT SOME
00:08:55.10\00:08:58.00
OTHER VERSES.
00:08:58.00\00:08:59.06
"NOW IT CAME TO PASS,
AFTERWARD, THAT HE WENT THROUGH
00:08:59.06\00:09:02.46
EVERY CITY AND VILLAGE,
PREACHING AND BRINGING THE GLAD
00:09:02.46\00:09:06.16
TIDINGS OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
00:09:06.16\00:09:08.70
AND THE TWELVE WERE WITH HIM."
00:09:08.70\00:09:11.70
NOW THE 12 WERE
WHAT, MEN OR WOMEN?
00:09:11.70\00:09:13.96
BUT THEN, LUKE GOES OUT OF
THE WAY TO SAY IT WASN'T JUST
00:09:13.96\00:09:16.36
THEM THAT FOLLOWED JESUS.
00:09:16.36\00:09:19.10
HE SAYS, "AND THERE WERE
CERTAIN WOMEN WHO HAD BEEN
00:09:19.10\00:09:23.23
HEALED OF EVIL
SPIRITS AND INFIRMITIES."
00:09:23.23\00:09:26.50
THEY'D BEEN HEALED OF SPIRITUAL
AND PHYSICAL PROBLEMS, "MARY
00:09:26.50\00:09:30.93
CALLED MAGDALENE, OUT OF
WHOM HAD COME SEVEN DEMONS,
00:09:30.93\00:09:34.83
AND JOANNA THE WIFE OF CHUZA,
HEROD'S STEWARD, AND SUSANNA,
00:09:34.83\00:09:38.73
AND MANY OTHERS."
00:09:38.73\00:09:41.13
SO, IT WASN'T JUST THE ONES WHO
ARE ITEMIZED HERE BUT HOW MANY?
00:09:41.13\00:09:45.46
MANY OTHERS, WHO MINISTERED
TO HIM, "WHO PROVIDED FOR HIM
00:09:45.46\00:09:50.33
FROM THEIR SUBSTANCE."
00:09:50.33\00:09:52.50
THEY HAD FINANCIAL RESOURCES.
00:09:52.50\00:09:55.06
AND AS THE DISCIPLES WENT FROM
TOWN TO TOWN THAT WENT AFTER
00:09:55.06\00:09:58.06
THE END OF THE DAY OF
PREACHING, THEY WOULD BIVOUAC.
00:09:58.06\00:10:01.13
THEY DIDN'T ALWAYS ALL STAY.
00:10:01.13\00:10:02.53
IT'S HARD TO PUT UP 12 PEOPLE.
00:10:02.53\00:10:04.30
SOMETIMES THEY
JUST STAYED OUTDOORS.
00:10:04.30\00:10:06.03
THAT'S WHY THEY WERE IN
THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE.
00:10:06.03\00:10:08.36
THEY SLEPT OUTDOORS AND THEY
WOULD BIVOUAC DIFFERENT PLACES
00:10:08.36\00:10:10.26
ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CITY.
00:10:10.26\00:10:12.00
WHEN THEY WENT TWO BY TWO,
THEY WENT INTO PEOPLE'S HOMES.
00:10:12.00\00:10:14.56
BUT WHEN JESUS WENT WITH
THE 12, IT'S A LITTLE HARDER
00:10:14.56\00:10:16.73
TO PUT ALL THEM UP.
00:10:16.73\00:10:18.60
AND SO THEY PROBABLY
OFTEN STAYED OUTSIDE.
00:10:18.60\00:10:21.06
AND I THINK THESE WOMEN WERE
OFTEN PROVIDING FOR THEIR NEEDS
00:10:21.06\00:10:26.13
AND THEY WERE BUYING THE
RESOURCES AND BRINGING THEM
00:10:26.13\00:10:27.86
TO THE CAMPING GROUND,
SO TO SPEAK, AND PREPARING
00:10:27.86\00:10:30.96
THE MEALS AND SENDING
THEM OFF DURING THE DAY.
00:10:30.96\00:10:33.20
AND SO THEY FOLLOWED HIM
WHEREVER HE WENT AND HELPED
00:10:33.20\00:10:37.50
CONTRIBUTE TO THE
COMPANY PURSE, SO TO SPEAK.
00:10:37.50\00:10:42.36
YOU ALSO FIND THAT
WHEN THE MEN GOT SCARED,
00:10:42.36\00:10:45.66
THE WOMEN STAYED BY.
00:10:45.66\00:10:47.16
SOMEONE READ FOR ME JOHN 19:25.
00:10:47.16\00:10:50.83
>> "NOW THERE STOOD BY THE
CROSS OF JESUS HIS MOTHER, HIS
00:10:50.83\00:10:53.30
MOTHER'S SISTER, MARY THE WIFE
OF CLOPAS, AND MARY MAGDALENE."
00:10:53.30\00:10:57.10
>> YOU KNOW, THAT ALWAYS WARMS
MY HEART WHEN I HEAR THAT VERSE,
00:10:57.10\00:11:00.23
"THERE STOOD BY THE CROSS."
00:11:00.23\00:11:03.03
YOU KNOW, YOU READ OTHER PLACES
IT SAYS THE APOSTLES STOOD
00:11:03.03\00:11:07.23
AFAR OFF.
00:11:07.23\00:11:09.70
PETER FOLLOWED
HIM FROM A DISTANCE.
00:11:09.70\00:11:12.36
BUT HERE YOU READ,
"THERE STOOD BY THE CROSS."
00:11:12.36\00:11:15.50
AND WHEN THEY FINALLY--
WHEN JOSEPH OF ARIMATHAEA AND
00:11:15.50\00:11:18.96
NICODEMUS CAME TO ATTEND TO
HIS BODY, IT SAYS AND THE WOMEN
00:11:18.96\00:11:22.30
THAT WERE THERE, THEY
ATTENDED ALSO TO THAT.
00:11:22.30\00:11:26.36
AND WHO WERE THE FIRST ONES WHO
CAME TO TAKE CARE OF HIS BODY
00:11:26.36\00:11:29.50
DURING THE TIME?
00:11:29.50\00:11:31.70
NOT ONLY DID THEY FOLLOW HIM TO
THE TOMB, BUT WHEN THEY HADN'T
00:11:31.70\00:11:34.26
FINISHED THE EMBALMING PROCESS,
FIRST THING SUNDAY MORNING,
00:11:34.26\00:11:37.13
THEY WERE THE FIRST ONES THERE.
00:11:37.13\00:11:38.80
AND SO YOU FIND THE WOMEN
MINISTERING TO CHRIST FROM HIS
00:11:38.80\00:11:41.93
ENTRANCE INTO THE
WORLD TO HIS EXIT.
00:11:41.93\00:11:45.60
AND SOMEBODY READ
FOR ME MARK 16:9."
00:11:45.60\00:11:50.60
>> "NOW WHEN HE ROSE EARLY
ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK,
00:11:50.60\00:11:52.53
HE APPEARED FIRST TO
MARY MAGDALENE, OUT OF WHOM
00:11:52.53\00:11:55.33
HE HAD CAST SEVEN DEMONS."
00:11:55.33\00:11:57.16
>> THANK YOU.
00:11:57.16\00:11:57.96
YOU NOTICE IT'S SEVERAL
TIMES WHEN IT IDENTIFIES
00:11:57.96\00:11:59.73
MARY MAGDALENE, IT
EMPHASIZES THE SEVEN DEMONS.
00:11:59.73\00:12:03.36
THAT'S ANOTHER PLACE
WHERE I THINK THAT SHE IS A TYPE
00:12:03.36\00:12:05.53
OF THE CHURCH.
00:12:05.53\00:12:07.10
CHRIST'S CHURCH, GOD'S CHURCH,
IS TAKEN FROM SOMEBODY WHO IS
00:12:07.10\00:12:11.96
LOST AND THEY ARE REDEEMED.
00:12:11.96\00:12:15.13
MARY STARTS OUT
POSSESSED WITH SEVEN DEVILS.
00:12:15.13\00:12:18.26
THE BIBLE SAYS, "THE
RIGHTEOUS FALL SEVEN TIMES,
00:12:18.26\00:12:21.13
BUT RISES AGAIN."
00:12:21.13\00:12:22.70
AND IT SAYS HE'LL DELIVER
YOU OUT OF SEVEN TROUBLES.
00:12:22.70\00:12:28.73
AND I JUST--I THINK THAT THAT'S
ANOTHER PLACE WHERE IT'S AN
00:12:28.73\00:12:31.16
ANALOGY.
00:12:31.16\00:12:32.13
BUT WHO IS THE FIRST ONE THAT
JESUS GIVES THE MESSAGE TO OF
00:12:32.13\00:12:37.83
HIS
RESURRECTION, A MAN OR A WOMAN?
00:12:37.83\00:12:40.60
IT'S NOT ONE OF
THE 12 APOSTLES, IS IT?
00:12:40.60\00:12:42.93
IT'S ONE OF THE DISCIPLES.
00:12:42.93\00:12:45.16
AND SO ARE THE WOMEN GIVEN THE
JOB OF PROCLAIMING THE MESSAGE
00:12:45.16\00:12:49.63
OF CHRIST?
00:12:49.63\00:12:51.00
I THINK THE LORD OBVIOUSLY
EMPHASIZES THAT IN A VERY
00:12:51.00\00:12:53.96
TELLING WAY HERE BECAUSE WHEN
HE APPEARS TO MARY, IT IS AFTER
00:12:53.96\00:13:00.36
PETER AND JOHN
HAD BEEN TO THE TOMB.
00:13:00.36\00:13:03.13
IT'S VERY CLEAR IN THE GOSPEL
OF JOHN, THE WOMEN WERE THERE.
00:13:03.13\00:13:06.33
THEY WENT AND THEY TOLD THE MEN.
00:13:06.33\00:13:08.00
THE MEN CAME BACK.
00:13:08.00\00:13:08.66
THE WOMEN CAME BACK WITH THEM.
00:13:08.66\00:13:09.80
JOHN AND JAMES, THEY GO IN.
00:13:09.80\00:13:12.03
PETER GOES IN FIRST.
00:13:12.03\00:13:13.16
JOHN FOLLOWS.
00:13:13.16\00:13:14.10
I SAID JOHN AND JAMES,
PETER AND JOHN GO INTO THE TOMB.
00:13:14.10\00:13:16.80
PETER GOES IN FIRST.
00:13:16.80\00:13:18.30
JOHN FOLLOWS HIM IN.
00:13:18.30\00:13:20.13
THEY BOTH LEAVE TO FIND OUT
WHERE THE BODY HAD BEEN STOLEN
00:13:20.13\00:13:22.63
IN THE PLACE TO SEE IF
THEY COULD TRACK DOWN THE BODY.
00:13:22.63\00:13:25.66
MARY REMAINS.
00:13:25.66\00:13:27.33
THE OTHER WOMEN HAVE GONE.
00:13:27.33\00:13:28.36
MARY REMAINS, AND SHE
STAYS OUTSIDE THE TOMB WEEPING.
00:13:28.36\00:13:31.46
JESUS HAD NOT YET
ASCENDED TO HEAVEN.
00:13:31.46\00:13:34.33
HE WAITED UNTIL--THIS IS
AMAZING, EVEN HIS OWN MOTHER
00:13:34.33\00:13:37.10
CAME AND LEFT.
00:13:37.10\00:13:38.83
HE WAITED UNTIL EVERYBODY
HAD COME AND EVERYBODY HAD GONE
00:13:38.83\00:13:41.16
TO REVEAL HIMSELF TO MARY.
00:13:41.16\00:13:45.23
HE COULD'VE REVEALED
HIMSELF TO PETER OR JOHN.
00:13:45.23\00:13:48.76
MAYBE HE HONORED HER IN THAT
WAY BECAUSE SHE WAS THE ONLY
00:13:48.76\00:13:53.46
ONE WHO RECOGNIZED HIS MISSION
AND SHE ANOINTED HIM AS MESSIAH
00:13:53.46\00:13:58.43
AND KING BEFORE HIS BURIAL.
00:13:58.43\00:14:01.10
YOU KNOW, A PRIEST
NEEDED TO BE ANOINTED ACCORDING
00:14:01.10\00:14:02.90
TO THE BIBLE.
00:14:02.90\00:14:04.00
THE BIBLE SAYS PROPHETS
WERE ANOINTED, SACRIFICES WERE
00:14:04.00\00:14:06.50
ANOINTED.
00:14:06.50\00:14:07.76
AND MARY IS THE ONE WHO
ANOINTED HIM JUST BEFORE HIS
00:14:07.76\00:14:10.26
DEATH.
00:14:10.26\00:14:12.20
AND THAT'S VERY SIGNIFICANT.
00:14:12.20\00:14:13.46
HE GAVE HER THAT HONOR.
00:14:13.46\00:14:15.53
"HE WHO IS HE HAS
FORGIVEN MUCH, LOVES MUCH."
00:14:15.53\00:14:17.36
AND TO WHO DID HE GIVE
THE HONOR OF PROCLAMATION?
00:14:17.36\00:14:19.43
THE ONE WHO LOVED MUCH.
00:14:19.43\00:14:21.20
SO HE COMMISSIONS HER.
00:14:21.20\00:14:23.10
HE SAYS, "GO TELL THE
DISCIPLES" AND HE SPECIFICALLY
00:14:23.10\00:14:25.80
MENTIONS, "AND PETER."
00:14:25.80\00:14:27.86
WHY DOES HE TELL MARY, "GO
TELL THE DISCIPLES AND PETER"?
00:14:27.86\00:14:31.16
'CAUSE PETER DENIED CHRIST
AND HE THOUGHT THAT "MAYBE
00:14:31.16\00:14:33.00
THERE WAS NO HOPE FOR ME."
00:14:33.00\00:14:34.26
HE WANTED PETER TO SPECIFICALLY
BE TOLD, "I'M ALIVE, YOU KNOW,
00:14:34.26\00:14:38.00
BE ENCOURAGED."
00:14:38.00\00:14:39.56
BUT HE GIVES
THAT MESSAGE TO MARY.
00:14:39.56\00:14:41.16
SO FROM THE ENTRANCE OF HIS
LIFE THROUGH MARY HIS MOTHER TO
00:14:41.16\00:14:47.00
THE EXIT, MARY THE DISCIPLE,
ISN'T THAT INTERESTING?
00:14:47.00\00:14:52.00
MARY TO MARY.
00:14:52.00\00:14:53.73
HIS LIFE IS
ANNOUNCED BY WOMEN DISCIPLES.
00:14:53.73\00:14:59.63
I THINK THAT'S VERY SIGNIFICANT.
00:14:59.63\00:15:01.53
ALRIGHT, NOW WE'RE GOING TO
TALK ABOUT ANOTHER COUPLE OF
00:15:01.53\00:15:04.20
WOMEN.
00:15:04.20\00:15:05.20
AND IT SPECIFICALLY
SPEAKS ABOUT THIS WOMAN.
00:15:05.20\00:15:07.83
I'LL READ--A MATTER OF FACT,
TURN IN YOUR BIBLES TO MARK 5.
00:15:07.83\00:15:11.36
I WANT TO START WITH VERSE 21.
00:15:11.36\00:15:13.80
THIS IS AFTER THE EXPERIENCE
OF THE DEMONIAC, "NOW WHEN JESUS
00:15:13.80\00:15:17.56
HAD CROSSED OVER AGAIN BY
BOAT TO THE OTHER SIDE, A GREAT
00:15:17.56\00:15:21.16
MULTITUDE GATHERED TO
HIM," DON'T MISS THAT,
00:15:21.16\00:15:23.70
GREAT MULTITUDE,
"AND HE WAS BY THE SEA.
00:15:23.70\00:15:26.46
AND BEHOLD, ONE OF THE RULERS
OF THE SYNAGOGUE CAME, JAIRUS
00:15:26.46\00:15:30.50
BY NAME.
00:15:30.50\00:15:31.46
AND WHEN HE SAW HIM, HE FELL
AT HIS FEET AND HE BEGGED HIM
00:15:31.46\00:15:34.53
EARNESTLY, SAYING, 'MY LITTLE
DAUGHTER LIES AT THE POINT
00:15:34.53\00:15:37.60
OF DEATH.
00:15:37.60\00:15:38.46
COME AND LAY YOUR HANDS ON
HER, THAT SHE MIGHT BE HEALED,
00:15:38.46\00:15:41.43
AND SHE WILL LIVE.'
AND JESUS WENT WITH HIM,
00:15:41.43\00:15:44.73
AND A GREAT MULTITUDE,"
THERE YOU HAVE IT A SECOND TIME,
00:15:44.73\00:15:47.83
"FOLLOWED HIM AND THRONGED HIM."
00:15:47.83\00:15:51.03
SO JESUS IS BEING
JOSTLED AND PUSHED BY PRIESTS
00:15:51.03\00:15:54.73
AND PAPARAZZI ON EVERY SIDE.
00:15:54.73\00:15:57.10
AND I JUST WANT YOU
TO HAVE THIS PICTURE.
00:15:57.10\00:15:59.76
HE'S MAKING HIS WAY UP THE
NARROW STREETS, MIGHT HAVE BEEN
00:15:59.76\00:16:02.63
CAPERNAUM.
00:16:02.63\00:16:03.36
IT DOESN'T TELL US EXACTLY WHAT
CITY THIS IS, BUT IT'S ONE OF
00:16:03.36\00:16:05.40
THE CITIES BY THE SEA OF
GALILEE, AND HE'S MAKING HIS
00:16:05.40\00:16:08.73
WAY TO THE HOUSE OF
THE RULER OF THE SYNAGOGUE.
00:16:08.73\00:16:11.60
EN ROUTE TO HEAL THIS
GIRL, A COUPLE OF THINGS HAPPEN.
00:16:11.60\00:16:17.70
NOW, VERSE 25, "A CERTAIN
WOMAN," DOESN'T TELL US HER
00:16:17.70\00:16:22.33
NAME, "WHO HAD A FLOW
OF BLOOD FOR TWELVE YEARS."
00:16:22.33\00:16:27.16
NOW, THAT'S INTERESTING.
00:16:27.16\00:16:29.40
WHAT DID I SAY A WOMAN
OFTEN REPRESENTS IN THESE BIBLE
00:16:29.40\00:16:31.40
ANALOGIES?
00:16:31.40\00:16:33.10
A CHURCH.
00:16:33.10\00:16:34.33
WHAT IS THE NUMBER 12?
00:16:34.33\00:16:36.16
IT'S OFTEN
SYMBOLIC FOR THE CHURCH.
00:16:36.16\00:16:38.13
IT IS.
00:16:38.13\00:16:39.16
THE DISCIPLES, 12,
LEADERSHIP OF THE CHURCH.
00:16:39.16\00:16:42.86
OLD TESTAMENT,
HOW MANY PATRIARCHS?
00:16:42.86\00:16:45.66
TWELVE.
00:16:45.66\00:16:47.23
SOME HAVE COUNTED
THAT THERE ARE 12 JUDGES.
00:16:47.23\00:16:49.90
IT DEPENDS MAYBE HOW YOU
COUNT, BUT MANY PEOPLE COME UP
00:16:49.90\00:16:52.53
WITH 12 JUDGES OF ISRAEL.
00:16:52.53\00:16:54.40
AND SO 12 IS THE
NUMBER OF LEADERSHIP.
00:16:54.40\00:16:56.23
REVELATION CHAPTER 12, NOT THAT
THE CHAPTER MEANS ANYTHING, THE
00:16:56.23\00:16:59.23
WOMAN HAS HOW MANY
STARS ABOVE HER HEAD?
00:16:59.23\00:17:01.43
TWELVE.
00:17:01.43\00:17:02.16
IT REPRESENTS THE CHURCH
AND LEADERSHIP OF THE CHURCH.
00:17:02.16\00:17:04.70
SO THERE'S THIS WOMAN
WHO HAS A FLOW OF BLOOD.
00:17:04.70\00:17:08.26
AND THIS IS SPEAKING ABOUT
THE MENSTRUAL FLOW THAT WOULD
00:17:08.26\00:17:11.93
RENDER YOU UNCLEAN
ACCORDING TO THE LEVITICAL LAW.
00:17:11.93\00:17:15.13
AND IT TELLS US THAT
FURTHERMORE, IT SAYS, "SHE HAD
00:17:15.13\00:17:20.70
SUFFERED MANY
THINGS OF MANY PHYSICIANS.
00:17:20.70\00:17:23.10
SHE SPENT ALL THAT SHE HAD AND
WAS NO BETTER, BUT GREW WORSE."
00:17:23.10\00:17:30.03
JESUS IS ON HIS WAY TO HEAL,
ACTUALLY TO RESURRECT A GIRL
00:17:30.03\00:17:36.76
WHO IS 12 YEARS OF AGE.
00:17:36.76\00:17:39.70
NOW, IS THAT AN ACCIDENT?
00:17:39.70\00:17:40.60
YOU'VE GOT A WOMAN
WHO'S BLEEDING FOR 12 YEARS,
00:17:40.60\00:17:43.00
SHE'S OLDER.
00:17:43.00\00:17:44.13
AND YOU'VE GOT A
GIRL WHO'S 12 YEARS OLD.
00:17:44.13\00:17:47.40
I BELIEVE ONE OF THOSE
REPRESENTS THE OLD TESTAMENT
00:17:47.40\00:17:50.10
CHURCH.
00:17:50.10\00:17:52.26
IN THE OLD TESTAMENT,
THEY TRIED TO FIND FORGIVENESS
00:17:52.26\00:17:55.36
THROUGH THE SACRIFICES OF LAMBS.
00:17:55.36\00:17:58.23
THERE WAS VIRTUALLY A
CONTINUAL FLOW OF BLOOD COMING
00:17:58.23\00:18:01.80
FROM THE TEMPLE.
00:18:01.80\00:18:03.16
JESUS THEN GOES TO
THE HOUSE OF JAIRUS.
00:18:03.16\00:18:06.83
ON THE WAY, WHILE HE IS HEALING
THIS OTHER WOMAN, THE LITTLE
00:18:06.83\00:18:10.86
GIRL DIES, BUT
HE CONTINUES GOING.
00:18:10.86\00:18:17.10
THE MOURNERS ARE ALREADY
THERE WHEN HE GETS THERE.
00:18:17.10\00:18:20.86
AND HE PUTS THEM ALL OUT
BECAUSE THEY DON'T BELIEVE.
00:18:20.86\00:18:23.90
HE BRINGS IN PETER, JAMES
AND JOHN, ALONG WITH THE FATHER
00:18:23.90\00:18:26.30
AND MOTHER.
00:18:26.30\00:18:27.40
AND HE TAKES THE GIRL BY
THE HAND AND HE RAISES HER.
00:18:27.40\00:18:30.50
AND HE SAYS, "GIVE
HER SOMETHING TO EAT."
00:18:30.50\00:18:32.56
HERE YOU'VE GOT THE
NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH.
00:18:32.56\00:18:36.53
WHEN JESUS DIED, IT
LOOKED LIKE IT WAS HOPELESS.
00:18:36.53\00:18:38.40
BUT WHEN HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD,
THE CHURCH CAME BACK TO LIFE
00:18:38.40\00:18:41.03
AND WHAT DID HE DO?
00:18:41.03\00:18:42.13
HE OPENED TO HER THE SCRIPTURES,
00:18:42.13\00:18:43.66
"GIVE HER SOMETHING TO EAT."
00:18:43.66\00:18:45.03
HE FED HER THE WORD.
00:18:45.03\00:18:46.40
THIS STORY IS THE
PIVOT POINT WHERE THE NEW AND
00:18:46.40\00:18:50.40
THE OLD TESTAMENT
CHURCH MEET IN JESUS.
00:18:50.40\00:18:54.60
TWO WOMEN, ONE OLDER,
CONTINUAL FLOW OF BLOOD,
00:18:54.60\00:18:58.43
DIDN'T GET BETTER.
00:18:58.43\00:18:59.23
SHE TOUCHES JESUS.
00:18:59.23\00:19:00.63
SHE REACHES OUT TO JESUS.
00:19:00.63\00:19:03.30
THE NEW TESTAMENT
CHURCH, YOUNG, NEW, RESURRECTED.
00:19:03.30\00:19:06.80
JESUS REACHES OUT.
00:19:06.80\00:19:08.06
HE TOUCHES HER.
00:19:08.06\00:19:09.66
AND SO YOU'VE GOT THIS HANDOFF.
00:19:09.66\00:19:11.23
YOU EVER SEEN A BATON RACE?
00:19:11.23\00:19:13.53
YOU KNOW, THEY DO IT AT THE
OLYMPICS WHERE ONE REACHES OUT.
00:19:13.53\00:19:17.23
THEY'RE TAKING THE BATON,
THE OTHER ONE IS REACHING AND
00:19:17.23\00:19:20.36
THEY'RE HANDING OFF THE BATON.
00:19:20.36\00:19:21.93
THIS IS LIKE THE PASSING
OF THE BATON AND BOTH THE OLD
00:19:21.93\00:19:25.03
AND THE NEW MEET JESUS.
00:19:25.03\00:19:27.00
THEY TOUCH JESUS THAT DAY.
00:19:27.00\00:19:28.33
AND HE IS THE ANSWER
TO THE PROBLEMS OF BOTH.
00:19:28.33\00:19:31.96
IT'S A WONDERFUL STORY.
00:19:31.96\00:19:33.73
BUT GOING BACK MORE
SPECIFICALLY TO THE FOCUS OF
00:19:33.73\00:19:36.16
THE LESSON IS THIS WOMAN.
00:19:36.16\00:19:38.66
"SHE HEARD ABOUT JESUS,"
VERSE 27, "SHE CAME BEHIND HIM
00:19:38.66\00:19:42.96
IN THE CROWD."
00:19:42.96\00:19:44.33
HE'S PASSING BY.
00:19:44.33\00:19:46.03
HE'S GOING TO GET AWAY.
00:19:46.03\00:19:47.13
HER ONLY HOPE IS
TO JUST LUNGE FORWARD.
00:19:47.13\00:19:49.33
SHE DOESN'T WANT--
SHE'S NOT GOING TO GET
00:19:49.33\00:19:50.93
A PRIVATE AUDIENCE.
00:19:50.93\00:19:51.80
A MATTER OF FACT, THE
FACT SHE'S IN A CROWD COULD BE
00:19:51.80\00:19:53.50
EMBARRASSING FOR HER TO
SAY, "JESUS, I'M UNCLEAN
00:19:53.50\00:19:56.50
AND I NEED SOME HELP."
00:19:56.50\00:19:57.63
AND EVERYBODY WOULD LOOK AT
HER AND SAY, "WELL IF YOU'RE
00:19:57.63\00:19:58.96
UNCLEAN, WHAT
ARE YOU DOING HERE?
00:19:58.96\00:20:00.43
WE'RE ALL SQUASHED TOGETHER."
00:20:00.43\00:20:01.90
SO SHE CAN'T REALLY
ANNOUNCE HER PROBLEM.
00:20:01.90\00:20:04.50
AND SHE THINKS,
"THE ONLY THING I CAN DO.
00:20:04.50\00:20:06.26
I HAVE FAITH THAT IF I
COULD JUST TOUCH HIS CLOTHES,
00:20:06.26\00:20:09.86
I'LL BE HEALED."
00:20:09.86\00:20:10.93
NOW, WHAT DOES
CLOTHING REPRESENT IN THE BIBLE?
00:20:10.93\00:20:15.23
I HEARD SOMEONE
SAY RIGHTEOUSNESS.
00:20:15.23\00:20:16.70
I DIDN'T SAY JESUS' CLOTHING.
00:20:16.70\00:20:17.66
I SAID CLOTHING.
00:20:17.66\00:20:19.63
WHAT IS OUR CLOTHING?
00:20:19.63\00:20:21.46
OUR CLOTHING'S FILTHY RAGS.
00:20:21.46\00:20:23.53
CLOTHING REPRESENTS CHARACTER.
00:20:23.53\00:20:25.53
WHAT WOULD THE CLOTHING OR
THE ROBE OF CHRIST REPRESENT?
00:20:25.53\00:20:30.10
RIGHTEOUSNESS.
00:20:30.10\00:20:31.10
SHE REACHES OUT AND SHE TOUCHES
HIS CLOTHING AND SHE'S HEALED.
00:20:31.10\00:20:37.13
HOW DO WE WHO ARE UNRIGHTEOUS,
WE ARE UNCLEAN, HOW DO WE
00:20:37.13\00:20:41.03
OBTAIN CLEANSING?
00:20:41.03\00:20:43.70
IT IS THROUGH A
TOUCH, BUT NOT JUST TOUCHING,
00:20:43.70\00:20:47.93
SHE BELIEVED IF SHE TOUCHED.
00:20:47.93\00:20:50.96
SO WAS IT THE TOUCH
OR WAS IT THE FAITH?
00:20:50.96\00:20:53.60
MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE TOUCH
WAS THE FAITH BECAUSE THERE WAS
00:20:53.60\00:20:56.26
ANOTHER GENTILE WHO SAID,
"LORD, I BELIEVE YOU DON'T EVEN
00:20:56.26\00:20:59.50
NEED--I DON'T
EVEN NEED TO SEE YOU.
00:20:59.50\00:21:02.03
I DON'T NEED TO TOUCH YOU.
00:21:02.03\00:21:02.83
I THINK IT'S YOUR WORD."
00:21:02.83\00:21:04.83
JESUS SAID, "BECAUSE YOU
BELIEVE, OH I'VE NOT SEEN FAITH
00:21:04.83\00:21:07.10
LIKE THIS EVEN IN ISRAEL."
00:21:07.10\00:21:08.60
THIS WOMAN WAS AN ISRAELITE.
00:21:08.60\00:21:10.00
SHE NEEDED TO
AT LEAST TOUCH HIM.
00:21:10.00\00:21:12.50
THE GENTILE SAID, "YOU
DON'T EVEN NEED TO COME,
00:21:12.50\00:21:14.93
JUST SPEAK THE WORD."
00:21:14.93\00:21:15.70
SO THE FAITH IS EVEN
MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE TOUCH.
00:21:15.70\00:21:18.80
NOW, IS IT STILL TRUE TODAY
THAT IF WE BY FAITH REACH OUT
00:21:18.80\00:21:22.30
THAT WE TODAY CAN LAY
HOLD ON CHRIST'S ROBE AND FIND
00:21:22.30\00:21:26.23
CLEANSING?
00:21:26.23\00:21:28.13
THOSE OF US WHO ARE UNCLEAN
TODAY THAT WE'RE SEPARATED
00:21:28.13\00:21:33.03
TODAY, WE'RE ISOLATED TODAY,
BY OUR SIN; WE CAN PRAY, WE CAN
00:21:33.03\00:21:36.73
REACH OUT TO JESUS AND
TOUCH HIM AND BE HEALED?
00:21:36.73\00:21:41.80
CAN THAT HAPPEN RIGHT NOW WHILE
I'M TEACHING THE LESSON OR DO
00:21:41.80\00:21:44.43
YOU HAVE TO
WAIT FOR SOME PARADE?
00:21:44.43\00:21:47.03
YEAH, WE CAN, THROUGH
OUR PRAYERS, REACH OUT.
00:21:47.03\00:21:49.03
IS HE PASSING BY RIGHT NOW
WHERE WE CAN REACH HIS GARMENT
00:21:49.03\00:21:52.86
AND GET CLEANSING?
00:21:52.86\00:21:53.63
IT'S TRUE, FRIENDS.
00:21:53.63\00:21:54.86
WELL, I GAVE YOU A LITTLE MORE
THAN YOU PAID FOR ON THAT ONE.
00:21:54.86\00:21:57.16
SO BUT WE'RE GOING TO GO
AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO MARTHA.
00:21:57.16\00:22:03.63
LUKE 10:38-42, "NOW IT HAPPENED
AS THEY WENT, HE ENTERED
00:22:03.63\00:22:11.26
A CERTAIN VILLAGE," THIS
IS ALL ONE CONCISE VERSE, "AND
00:22:11.26\00:22:14.70
A CERTAIN WOMAN NAMED MARTHA
WELCOMED HIM INTO HER HOUSE.
00:22:14.70\00:22:20.93
AND SHE HAD A SISTER CALLED
MARY, WHO ALSO SAT AT JESUS'
00:22:20.93\00:22:24.10
FEET AND HEARD HIS WORD.
00:22:24.10\00:22:26.00
BUT MARTHA WAS DISTRACTED
WITH MUCH SERVING, AND SHE
00:22:26.00\00:22:29.03
APPROACHED HIM AND SAID, 'LORD,
DO YOU NOT CARE THAT MY SISTER
00:22:29.03\00:22:32.00
HAS LEFT ME TO SERVE ALONE?
00:22:32.00\00:22:33.93
THEREFORE TELL HER TO HELP ME.'
AND JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID TO
00:22:33.93\00:22:37.63
HER, 'MARTHA, MARTHA, YOU ARE
WORRIED AND TROUBLED ABOUT MANY
00:22:37.63\00:22:42.96
THINGS.
00:22:42.96\00:22:44.53
BUT ONE THING IS NEEDED, AND
MARY HAS CHOSEN THAT GOOD PART,
00:22:44.53\00:22:48.73
WHICH SHALL NOT BE
TAKEN AWAY FROM HER.'"
00:22:48.73\00:22:50.83
JESUS DOESN'T CONDEMN MARTHA
FOR THE THINGS SHE'S DOING.
00:22:50.83\00:22:54.53
WHAT HE SAYS TO MARTHA IS
REALLY AN ISSUE OF PRIORITY.
00:22:54.53\00:22:59.80
SOMETIMES WE BECOME SO BUSY
WITH, YOU'VE HEARD THIS CLICHê
00:22:59.80\00:23:03.20
BEFORE, DOING THE WORK OF
THE LORD WE FORGET THE LORD
00:23:03.20\00:23:06.36
OF THE WORK.
00:23:06.36\00:23:07.83
MARTHA WAS ALWAYS
PREOCCUPIED WITH DOING THE WORK
00:23:07.83\00:23:10.30
OF THE LORD.
00:23:10.30\00:23:11.20
BUSY, BUSY, BUSY, DOING
GOOD THINGS, BUT THE PERSONAL
00:23:11.20\00:23:14.20
RELATIONSHIP WAS BEING
ECLIPSED BY THE DUTIES.
00:23:14.20\00:23:20.26
NOW ONCE AGAIN, WHAT
DOES A WOMAN REPRESENT?
00:23:20.26\00:23:25.63
WHAT KIND OF CHURCH DOES
THE LORD WANT, THE CHURCH THAT'S
00:23:25.63\00:23:28.03
BUSY?
00:23:28.03\00:23:29.50
"LORD, LORD, WE
TAUGHT IN YOUR STREETS.
00:23:29.50\00:23:33.46
WE CAST OUT DEVILS.
00:23:33.46\00:23:34.46
WE DID MANY WONDERFUL
WORKS AND COOKED AND COOKED LOTS
00:23:34.46\00:23:36.43
OF POTLUCKS.
00:23:36.43\00:23:38.16
WE SEWED AND
MENDED AT THE DORCASá."
00:23:38.16\00:23:41.93
AND JESUS WILL
SAY, "I DON'T KNOW YOU."
00:23:41.93\00:23:46.30
AND THEN THERE'LL BE
THOSE WHO HAVE THE RELATIONSHIP
00:23:46.30\00:23:48.96
WITH JESUS.
00:23:48.96\00:23:49.86
THOSE ARE THE ONES WHO SIT
AT HIS FEET AND LOOK WISTFULLY
00:23:49.86\00:23:53.53
INTO HIS EYES
BECAUSE THEY LOVE HIM.
00:23:53.53\00:23:55.63
THEY'VE GOT THIS RELATIONSHIP.
00:23:55.63\00:23:56.66
THEY HEAR HIS WORD.
00:23:56.66\00:23:58.73
THEY TAKE IT PERSONALLY.
00:23:58.73\00:24:00.10
AND SO YOU'VE GOT
TWO KINDS OF CHURCHES.
00:24:00.10\00:24:03.16
YOU GOT SOME
CHURCHES THAT ARE VERY BUSY.
00:24:03.16\00:24:05.23
THEY GOT COMMUNITY SERVICE.
00:24:05.23\00:24:06.40
AND THOSE THINGS ARE GOOD.
00:24:06.40\00:24:07.93
HE DOESN'T CONDEMN
THEM FOR DOING THE TEACHING
00:24:07.93\00:24:10.76
AND THE
PREACHING AND THE MINISTRY.
00:24:10.76\00:24:12.40
EVERY CHURCH SHOULD DO
THAT, BUT NOT AT THE EXPENSE
00:24:12.40\00:24:15.86
OF THE PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP.
00:24:15.86\00:24:17.76
WE ARE NOT SAVED BY
THE WORKS OF MARTHA.
00:24:17.76\00:24:20.66
WE'RE SAVED BY THE
RELATIONSHIP OF MARY.
00:24:20.66\00:24:24.40
AND I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
00:24:24.40\00:24:26.03
TO REMEMBER.
00:24:26.03\00:24:27.63
>> STAY TUNED.

>> HI, FRIENDS.
00:26:55.30\00:26:56.73
THERE'S BEEN MUCH DEBATE WITHIN
OUR SOCIETY ON GENDER ROLES
00:26:56.73\00:27:00.16
WITHIN THE CHRISTIAN FAITH.
00:27:00.16\00:27:02.06
THIS DISCUSSION IS USUALLY
FOCUSED ON WHETHER WOMEN SHOULD
00:27:02.06\00:27:04.73
SERVE AS PASTORS,
PRIESTS OR ELDERS.
00:27:04.73\00:27:07.50

SHOULD THEY BE ORDAINED?
00:27:07.50\00:27:09.96

HAS BEEN LOST WITHIN THE WHOLE
