>>YOU KNOW, IN THE BIBLE
WE READ ABOUT ONE OF THE GREAT
00:01:41.53\00:01:44.77
PATRIARCHS. HIS NAME WAS
ABRAHAM. AND OUR LESSON TONIGHT
00:01:44.80\00:01:48.80
IS CALLED THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE
AND IT'S BASED UPON THIS
00:01:48.84\00:01:52.37
OLD TESTAMENT STORY
ABOUT THE FATHER AND THE SON.
00:01:52.41\00:01:57.81
NOW YOU REMEMBER, ABRAHAM WAS
AN OLD MAN AND HE HADN'T HAD THE
00:01:57.85\00:02:02.05
CHILD OF PROMISE THAT HE WAS
SUPPOSED TO HAVE THROUGH SARAH.
00:02:02.08\00:02:05.35
HE TRIED TO TAKE THINGS INTO HIS
OWN HANDS AND HE HAD A BABY WITH
00:02:05.39\00:02:09.09
HAGAR, ISHMAEL, AND THAT
JUST BROUGHT ALL KINDS OF STRIFE
00:02:09.12\00:02:13.33
INTO THE FAMILY. BUT GOD WORKED
A GREAT MIRACLE AND IN HIS OLD
00:02:13.36\00:02:17.93
AGE - SARAH WAS 90 - HE
WAS OVER 100 - THEY HAD A BABY.
00:02:17.97\00:02:21.74
THEY NAMED HIM ISAAC, WHICH
MEANS LAUGHTER, AND GOD PROMISED
00:02:21.77\00:02:25.44
ABRAHAM THAT THROUGH THIS
MIRACULOUS BABY BOY, ALL THE
00:02:25.47\00:02:29.78
NATIONS OF THE WORLD WOULD BE
BLESSED BECAUSE JESUS WOULD COME
00:02:29.81\00:02:33.72
THROUGH THE SEED OF ISAAC.
SO YOU CAN UNDERSTAND ABRAHAM'S
00:02:33.75\00:02:37.69
AMAZEMENT, HOW DISTRAUGHT HE WAS
WHEN, EARLY ONE NIGHT, THE LORD
00:02:37.72\00:02:43.12
WOKE HIM UP AND SPOKE TO
HIM IN THAT CLEAR VOICE THAT WAS
00:02:43.16\00:02:45.46
UNDENIABLE. HE KNEW IT WAS GOD.
00:02:45.49\00:02:47.96
AND HE SAID, 'ABRAHAM, I WANT
YOU TO TAKE YOUR SON - YOUR ONLY
00:02:47.96\00:02:52.17
SON ISAAC, WHO YOU LOVE, BRING
HIM UNTO THE MOUNTAINS OF MORIAH
00:02:52.20\00:02:56.14
AND OFFER HIM THERE UNTO ME AS A
BURNT OFFERING.' WELL HOW COULD
00:02:56.17\00:03:01.58
THAT HAPPEN?
BECAUSE IT WAS THROUGH ISAAC
00:03:01.61\00:03:04.05
THAT ALL HIS
PROMISES WOULD BE REALIZED.
00:03:04.08\00:03:06.25
EVERYTHING IN HIS LIFE HAD BEEN
BUILT UP TO THIS SON ISAAC AND
00:03:06.28\00:03:08.68
NOW HE'S A HUNDRED AND SARAH'S
- HE'S MORE THAN A HUNDRED NOW -
00:03:08.72\00:03:12.89
SARAH'S OVER 100 AT THIS POINT.
00:03:12.92\00:03:14.62
ISAAC'S PROBABLY 17 YEARS
OF AGE - BUT HE DIDN'T DISOBEY.
00:03:14.66\00:03:19.93
HE HAD FAITH - IT SAYS IN
HEBREWS THAT IF HE DID THIS, IF
00:03:19.96\00:03:23.06
GOD NEEDED TO RAISE HIM FROM THE
DEAD TO FULFILL HIS PROMISE, HE
00:03:23.10\00:03:25.87
HAD LEARNED TO TRUST THE
WORD OF GOD NO MATTER WHAT.
00:03:25.90\00:03:29.47
SO HE DIDN'T
EXPLAIN IT ALL TO SARAH.
00:03:29.50\00:03:32.37
HE WOKE UP ISAAC AND SAID,
'SON, WE'RE GOING TO GO OFFER
00:03:32.41\00:03:35.38
SACRIFICE. COME WITH ME. GOT
SOME SERVANTS. GOT THE DONKEYS.
00:03:35.41\00:03:37.78
THEY WENT ON A JOURNEY TO THE
MOUNTAINS WHERE GOD DIRECTED HIM
00:03:37.81\00:03:40.88
- THE MOUNTAINS OF MORIAH.
IT WAS A THREE-DAY JOURNEY.
00:03:40.92\00:03:45.52
THEY GOT TO THE
BASE OF THE MOUNTAINS -
00:03:45.55\00:03:47.36
HE TOLD THE
SERVANTS TO STAY THERE.
00:03:47.39\00:03:49.79
HE PUT THE WOOD ON ISAAC'S BACK
AND THEY WENT A HALF A DAY'S
00:03:49.82\00:03:54.10
JOURNEY UP TO THE PLACE OF
SACRIFICE - THREE AND A HALF
00:03:54.13\00:03:57.27
DAYS. HOW LONG
DID JESUS MINISTER.
00:03:57.30\00:04:00.24
>>THREE AND A HALF
YEARS. >>THREE AND A HALF YEARS.
00:04:00.27\00:04:03.30
AND ON THE WAY UP THE MOUNTAIN,
ISAAC THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS
00:04:03.34\00:04:06.78
PECULIAR BECAUSE HE
AND HIS FATHER HAD GONE
00:04:06.81\00:04:08.71
TO OFFER
SACRIFICE MANY TIMES BEFORE.
00:04:08.74\00:04:10.65
BY THE WAY, YOU FIND
THIS STORY IN GENESIS 22:19.
00:04:10.68\00:04:12.88
AND HE SAID, 'FATHER,' - THERE
WAS A LONG SILENCE AND HE KNEW
00:04:12.91\00:04:18.69
SOMETHING WAS DIFFERENT.
HIS FATHER LOOKED LIKE HIS HEART
00:04:18.72\00:04:21.22
WAS BREAKING AND
HE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND.
00:04:21.26\00:04:23.06
HE SAID, 'FATHER, WE'VE GOT THE
WOOD AND WE'VE GOT WHAT IT TAKES
00:04:23.09\00:04:28.60
TO MAKE THE FIRE, BUT WE'RE
MISSING THE LAMB.' AND HE SAID,
00:04:28.63\00:04:34.97
'WHERE IS THE LAMB?'
ABRAHAM SAID, 'MY SON, GOD WILL
00:04:35.00\00:04:38.24
PROVIDE HIMSELF A LAMB FOR OUR
SACRIFICE.' THOSE WERE PROPHETIC
00:04:38.27\00:04:45.48
WORDS BECAUSE GOD DID
PROVIDE HIMSELF A LAMB.
00:04:45.51\00:04:50.09
SO THEY CONTINUED ON THEIR WAY -
THEY WENT UP THE MOUNTAIN - AND
00:04:50.12\00:04:53.02
AT SOME POINT ABRAHAM NEEDED TO
EXPLAIN TO ISAAC WHAT WAS GOING
00:04:53.05\00:04:56.26
ON. YOU KNOW,
HE COULDN'T WRESTLE
00:04:56.29\00:04:58.66
HIS TEENAGE SON TO THE
GROUND. HE COULDN'T OUTRUN HIM.
00:04:58.69\00:05:01.03
HE SAID, 'SON, I NEED TO TELL
YOU WHAT THE LORD HAS ASKED ME
00:05:01.06\00:05:04.70
TO DO.' AND AFTER EXPLAINING
THIS, THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT
00:05:04.73\00:05:08.14
ISAAC IS A WILLING SACRIFICE.
JESUS WAS A WILLING SACRIFICE.
00:05:08.17\00:05:13.68
JESUS HAD THE WOOD
PLACED UPON HIS BACK.
00:05:13.71\00:05:16.04
THEY EMBRACED EACH OTHER.
00:05:16.08\00:05:18.85
ISAAC THEN WAS BOUND BY
HIS FATHER, HIS TREMBLING HANDS
00:05:18.88\00:05:22.65
PLACED UPON THE STONE ALTAR
AND JUST AS ABRAHAM WAS ABOUT TO
00:05:22.68\00:05:27.39
BRING DOWN THE KNIFE - HE'D
RESIGNED HIMSELF TO DO WHAT GOD
00:05:27.42\00:05:30.56
HAD TOLD HIM TO DO - THE HAND OF
AN ANGEL STOPPED HIM AND SAID,
00:05:30.59\00:05:34.00
'ABRAHAM, ABRAHAM, DON'T DO THE
LAD ANY HARM FOR NOW I KNOW THAT
00:05:34.03\00:05:38.37
YOU TRUST ME.' WHY DO YOU THINK
HE HAD ABRAHAM ACT THAT WHOLE
00:05:38.40\00:05:44.77
EXPERIENCE OUT? WHAT
GREATER SACRIFICE COULD BE
00:05:44.81\00:05:49.48
ASKED OF ANYONE
THAN TO GIVE THEIR CHILD.
00:05:49.51\00:05:53.28
THIS IS TO ILLUSTRATE THE
LOVE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE
00:05:53.31\00:05:56.58
HEAVENLY FATHER AND JESUS
THE SON, IN WHAT THEY'VE DONE IN
00:05:56.62\00:06:01.09
GIVING THEMSELVES FOR US -
BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST THE SON
00:06:01.12\00:06:05.76
THAT SUFFERED.
THE FATHER SUFFERED.
00:06:05.79\00:06:08.66
THE FATHER SO LOVED
THE WORLD HE GAVE THE SON.
00:06:08.70\00:06:11.00
AND THIS IS WHY JESUS CAME.
ALL THROUGH THE BIBLE YOU CAN
00:06:11.03\00:06:15.70
SEE THESE
ALLEGORIES OF SALVATION.
00:06:15.74\00:06:19.64
IT'S ALL POINTING TO THE TIME
WHEN GOD WOULD COME TO THE EARTH
00:06:19.67\00:06:22.54
IN THE FORM OF A MAN. NOW OUR
LESSON TONIGHT IS GOING TO TALK
00:06:22.58\00:06:25.91
ABOUT THE CENTRAL THEME OF WHY
JESUS CAME, THIS LAMB OF GOD.
00:06:25.95\00:06:30.22
LET'S GO TO OUR FIRST
QUESTION IN OUR LESSON.
00:06:30.25\00:06:32.79
WHOM DID THE ANIMAL THAT
WAS SACRIFICED IN ISAAC'S PLACE
00:06:32.82\00:06:36.29
REPRESENT? YOU
REMEMBER WHEN ISAAC - WHEN
00:06:36.32\00:06:40.26
ABRAHAM - I'M SORRY - WAS READY
TO BRING DOWN THE KNIFE, THE
00:06:40.30\00:06:43.43
ANGEL STOPPED ABRAHAM AND HE
DIRECTED HIS ATTENTION TO A RAM
00:06:43.47\00:06:47.14
THAT WAS CAUGHT BY HIS HORNS IN
A THORN BUSH CALLED A THICKET.
00:06:47.17\00:06:50.94
THERE'S A RAM
WITH A CROWN OF THORNS.
00:06:50.97\00:06:54.44
DID JESUS HAVE
A CROWN OF THORNS?
00:06:54.48\00:06:56.81
AND THAT RAM WAS SACRIFICED
IN THE PLACE OF ISAAC.
00:06:56.85\00:07:00.28
WHO DOES THIS LAMB REPRESENT?
YOU CAN READ IT IN JOHN - THE
00:07:00.32\00:07:04.72
GOSPEL OF JOHN
CHAPTER 1, VERSE 29.
00:07:04.75\00:07:07.22
WHEN JOHN THE BAPTIST SAW JESUS
COMING IT SAYS, "THE NEXT DAY
00:07:07.26\00:07:11.29
JOHN SEETH JESUS COMING AND
HE SAID UNTO HIM, "BEHOLD THE -
00:07:11.33\00:07:17.47
>>LAMB. >>LAMB OF
GOD THAT TAKES AWAY
00:07:17.50\00:07:20.90
THE SIN OF THE WORLD. JESUS
IS THAT LAMB. JOHN RECOGNIZED -
00:07:20.94\00:07:25.57
ALL THE LAMBS THAT THEY
SACRIFICED ALL POINTED TO JESUS.
00:07:25.61\00:07:29.64
THE BIBLE SAYS, IN REVELATION,
IT TALKS ABOUT THE LAMB SLAIN
00:07:29.68\00:07:33.28
FROM THE
FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD.
00:07:33.31\00:07:35.08
WHEN ADAM AND EVE SINNED THEY
TRIED TO COVER THEIR NAKEDNESS
00:07:35.12\00:07:37.95
WITH WHAT? FIG
LEAVES, YOU REMEMBER?
00:07:37.99\00:07:40.79
GOD SAID, 'THAT WON'T DO.' FOR
ONE THING IT SAYS THAT THEY MADE
00:07:40.82\00:07:43.69
APRONS OF LEAVES -
LITTLE MINI SKIRTS.
00:07:43.73\00:07:47.10
AND THEN IT SAYS GOD
GAVE THEM TUNICS OF SKIN.
00:07:47.13\00:07:51.37
IT WASN'T VINYL THAT
HE BOUGHT FROM WAL-MART.
00:07:51.40\00:07:54.57
WHERE DO YOU THINK
THAT SKIN CAME FROM?
00:07:54.60\00:07:56.57
SOMETHING HAD TO BE SACRIFICED.
THE SACRIFICIAL SYSTEM WAS
00:07:56.60\00:08:00.64
ESTABLISHED THERE TO
COVER THEIR NAKEDNESS.
00:08:00.68\00:08:03.01
AS THE LAMB OF GOD, JESUS
- HIS ROBE - COVERS OUR SIN.
00:08:03.04\00:08:06.65
WHY WAS IT
NECESSARY FOR JESUS TO DIE?
00:08:06.68\00:08:09.88
PEOPLE SAY, 'COULDN'T
HE HAVE JUST FORGIVEN US?
00:08:09.92\00:08:12.45
WHY DID HE HAVE TO DIE?
00:08:12.49\00:08:13.62
THE BIBLE TELLS US - ROMANS
CHAPTER 3:23 - I BET MOST OF YOU
00:08:13.66\00:08:17.53
KNOW THIS - "FOR ALL HAVE SINNED
AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY OF
00:08:17.56\00:08:22.36
GOD." WE'VE ALL SINNED.
00:08:22.40\00:08:24.33
AND YOU GO ON - WHY IS
THAT SUCH A SERIOUS THING?
00:08:24.37\00:08:26.50
SIN IS BREAKING GOD'S
LAW. WHAT IS THE PENALTY?
00:08:26.53\00:08:29.50
ROMANS CHAPTER 6, VERSE
23, "FOR THE WAGES OF SIN IS -
00:08:29.54\00:08:35.08
>>DEATH. >>DEATH.
00:08:35.11\00:08:37.11
BUT GOD DOESN'T WANT YOU TO DIE
AND THE ONLY WAY FOR YOU TO BE
00:08:37.15\00:08:40.92
FORGIVEN WAS TO
HAVE A SUBSTITUTE.
00:08:40.95\00:08:43.32
AND JESUS SAID, 'LOOK, I LOVE
YOU SO MUCH I WILL TAKE YOUR
00:08:43.35\00:08:46.42
PLACE. I WILL
COME INTO THE WORLD.
00:08:46.45\00:08:49.49
I WILL LIVE THE PERFECT LIFE
THAT I WANTED YOU TO LIVE, BUT I
00:08:49.52\00:08:53.80
WILL DIE THE DEATH
THAT YOU DESERVE TO DIE.
00:08:53.83\00:08:56.10
I WILL GIVE YOU MY GOODNESS
AND I WILL TAKE YOUR BADNESS.
00:08:56.13\00:08:59.07
I'LL GIVE YOU MY LIFE.
I WILL TAKE YOUR DEATH.
00:08:59.10\00:09:02.07
I'LL GIVE YOU MY POWER.
I WILL TAKE YOUR WEAKNESS.'
00:09:02.10\00:09:05.24
HE MADE AN EXCHANGE WITH US THAT
WE RECEIVE BY FAITH AND THEN
00:09:05.27\00:09:08.78
IT BECOMES REAL. IT REALLY DOES.
00:09:08.81\00:09:12.35
BUT THE PENALTY FOR SIN IS
DEATH. THAT WAS THE ONLY WAY.
00:09:12.38\00:09:16.02
FURTHERMORE, WITHOUT THE
SHEDDING OF BLOOD THERE IS NO
00:09:16.05\00:09:19.99
REMISSION - AND THAT
MEANS NO FORGIVENESS.
00:09:20.02\00:09:22.22
THE BIBLE SAYS THE
LIFE IS IN THE BLOOD.
00:09:22.26\00:09:24.46
ALL OF THE NUTRIENTS THAT
GO TO EVERY CELL IN YOUR BODY -
00:09:24.49\00:09:28.50
FINGERNAILS, HAIR, EVERYTHING -
IT'S CLEANSED AND IT'S SUSTAINED
00:09:28.53\00:09:33.10
BY BLOOD. BLOOD IS
THE LIQUID OF LIFE AND
00:09:33.13\00:09:36.07
JESUS POURED OUT HIS BLOOD TO
TAKE AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.
00:09:36.10\00:09:40.41
THE BIBLE TELLS US
CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS.
00:09:40.44\00:09:45.95
NOW WE DON'T LIKE TO THINK
ABOUT IT BUT WE'VE ALL SINNED.
00:09:45.98\00:09:48.92
YOU SEE, WHEN GOD FIRST MADE
MAN, HE MADE US TO BE MOTIVATED,
00:09:48.95\00:09:55.36
NATURALLY, BY LOVE.
00:09:55.39\00:09:57.23
BUT WHEN MAN CHOSE TO FOLLOW THE
DEVIL, WE TOOK ON THE NATURE OF
00:09:57.26\00:10:01.50
THE DEVIL, WHICH IS THE REVERSE
OF THAT - IT'S SELFISHNESS.
00:10:01.53\00:10:04.43
WE FELL. WE WERE TRICKED.
00:10:04.47\00:10:07.34
AND SO GOD SAID, 'LOOK, I
WANT TO DO SOMETHING TO GIVE
00:10:07.37\00:10:09.77
HUMANITY ANOTHER
CHANCE AT ETERNAL LIFE.
00:10:09.80\00:10:12.67
I WILL GIVE YOU AN
OPPORTUNITY TO CHOOSE.
00:10:12.71\00:10:15.24
DO YOU WANT A HEART THAT IS
MOTIVATED BY SELFISHNESS, LIKE
00:10:15.28\00:10:17.91
THE DEVIL, OR DO YOU
WANT A HEART LIKE MINE THAT IS
00:10:17.95\00:10:20.38
MOTIVATED BY LOVE?' AND
THE ONLY WAY IS TO HAVE THAT
00:10:20.42\00:10:23.65
NEW BIRTH AND TO GET THAT
NEW HEART. WE COME TO JESUS.
00:10:23.69\00:10:26.35
HE TAKES AWAY OUR SINFUL NATURES
AND HE GIVES US HIS OWN HEART -
00:10:26.39\00:10:29.69
HIS OWN SPIRIT. AND
IT'S A LEARNING PROCESS.
00:10:29.72\00:10:32.23
IT DOESN'T
NECESSARILY ALL HAPPEN AT ONCE.
00:10:32.26\00:10:34.73
WHY DID GOD MAKE SUCH A
FANTASTIC SACRIFICE FOR US?
00:10:34.76\00:10:39.60
ANSWER: YOU ALL KNOW THIS ONE
- JOHN CHAPTER 3, VERSE 16, "FOR
00:10:39.63\00:10:44.07
GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT
HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON."
00:10:44.11\00:10:51.75
- THE ONLY TIME THAT GOD WAS
EVER BEGOTTEN AS A MAN WAS IN
00:10:51.78\00:10:54.48
JESUS. GOD THE SON BECAME
A MAN TO SHOW US HOW TO LIVE.
00:10:54.52\00:10:58.92
THREE REASONS JESUS CAME: SHOW
US WHAT THE FATHER IS LIKE, TO
00:10:58.95\00:11:02.46
BE AN EXAMPLE TO YOU AND I - HOW
WE OUGHT TO LIVE - AND THEN TO
00:11:02.49\00:11:07.96
BE OUR SUBSTITUTE -
TO DIE ON THE CROSS.
00:11:08.00\00:11:10.07
AND LOOK AT HOW HE SUFFERED.
THAT'S WHAT WE ALL DESERVE FOR
00:11:10.10\00:11:12.67
OUR SINS. BUT HE
DOESN'T WANT US TO
00:11:12.70\00:11:15.04
SUFFER, HE SAID, 'I WILL
TAKE IT FOR YOU IN YOUR PLACE.'
00:11:15.07\00:11:18.34
>>YOU KNOW, FRIENDS, THE SECRET
KEY TO HAVING A VICTORIOUS AND A
00:11:18.37\00:11:21.48
PROSPEROUS CHRISTIAN LIFE IS TO
UNDERSTAND THE VALUE - THE VALUE
00:11:21.51\00:11:26.05
OF THE GIFT THAT JESUS GAVE THAT
YOU AND I MIGHT BE FORGIVEN.
00:11:26.08\00:11:30.12
IF WE ALL UNDERSTOOD THE PRICE
THAT WAS PAID FOR OUR REDEMPTION
00:11:30.15\00:11:33.52
- IF WE COULD SEE JESUS HANGING
ON THE CROSS AND SUFFERING FOR
00:11:33.56\00:11:36.36
OUR SINS IT'D MAKE ALL THE
DIFFERENCE IN HOW MUCH WE LOVE
00:11:36.39\00:11:39.29
HIM AND HOW WELL WE SERVE HIM.

IT WITH A FRIEND. WE WANT TO GET
00:12:01.05\00:12:03.65
THE WORD OUT BECAUSE
GOD'S MESSAGE IS OUR MISSION.
00:12:03.69\00:12:08.69
JESUS DIED FOR THE
SINS OF THE WHOLE WORLD, BUT
00:12:08.72\00:12:11.13
WILL THE WHOLE
WORLD BE SAVED? NO, WHY?
00:12:11.16\00:12:15.60
YOU MUST DO SOMETHING ABOUT
IT. IT SAYS - IT TELLS US IN THE
00:12:15.63\00:12:19.17
BIBLE WHAT IT IS WE NEED TO DO.
BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
00:12:19.20\00:12:23.41
AND THOU SHALT BE SAVED.
BY THE WAY, THE WORD 'BELIEVE'
00:12:23.44\00:12:26.78
DOES NOT SIMPLY MEAN TO
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT HE EXISTED.
00:12:26.81\00:12:30.98
SOME PEOPLE SAY, 'OH, I'M GOING
TO HEAVEN BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN
00:12:31.01\00:12:33.15
JESUS.' BUT THEIR LIFE IS JUST
LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD.
00:12:33.18\00:12:36.35
AND YOU SAY, 'WELL,
WHAT MAKES YOU DIFFERENT?'
00:12:36.38\00:12:38.55
'WELL, I BELIEVE.' 'WELL, ARE
YOU SHOWING THAT YOU BELIEVE BY
00:12:38.59\00:12:43.16
YOUR LIFE?' SEE, IN
THE BIBLE, WHEN IT SAYS
00:12:43.19\00:12:46.46
'BELIEVE' IT MEANS 'BE
LIVE' IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.
00:12:46.49\00:12:50.83
IF YOU BELIEVE THEN YOU RESPOND
ACCORDINGLY. IF YOU SAY, 'LORD,
00:12:50.87\00:12:56.00
LORD' AND YOU DON'T DO ANYTHING
HE SAYS, 'DO YOU BELIEVE?'
00:12:56.04\00:12:59.11
YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE SAYS
THERE ARE DEVILS THAT BELIEVE HE
00:12:59.14\00:13:01.14
EXISTS. THE
DEVILS ACTUALLY BELIEVE
00:13:01.18\00:13:03.38
BETTER THAN US BECAUSE THEY'VE
BEEN AROUND HIM FOR MILLIONS OF
00:13:03.41\00:13:05.65
YEARS OR THOUSANDS OF
YEARS BEFORE THEY FELL.
00:13:05.68\00:13:08.38
SO IT'S MORE THAN JUST
ACKNOWLEDGING HE EXISTS OR EVEN
00:13:08.42\00:13:11.39
ACKNOWLEDGING HE DIED ON THE
CROSS, IT'S SURRENDERING YOUR
00:13:11.42\00:13:14.76
LIFE TO HIM AND SAYING,
'LORD, I'M WILLING TO SERVE YOU.
00:13:14.79\00:13:17.73
I WANT TO LIVE FOR YOU.'
THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS TO BELIEVE.
00:13:17.76\00:13:20.53
IT STARTS WITH BELIEVING HERE,
BUT THEN THAT BELIEF NEEDS TO GO
00:13:20.56\00:13:23.10
INTO THE HEART AND THEN THAT
BELIEF WILL GO FROM THE HEART
00:13:23.13\00:13:26.53
INTO THE LIFE, RIGHT?
THAT'S THE COMPLETE BELIEF.
00:13:26.57\00:13:29.77
HOW THEN AM I
FORGIVEN AND CLEANSED?
00:13:29.80\00:13:33.27
NOW IF WE UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING
ABOUT PROPHECY AND WE MISS THE
00:13:33.31\00:13:35.54
MAIN POINT OF PROPHECY - THAT
JESUS WAS COMING, THEN YOU'VE
00:13:35.58\00:13:39.18
MISSED IT ALL. WE
REALLY WANT TO KNOW HOW DOES
00:13:39.21\00:13:42.15
THIS ALL AFFECT ME?
ALL THESE PROPHECIES IN
00:13:42.18\00:13:44.89
REVELATION TALK
ABOUT THE GOSPEL.
00:13:44.92\00:13:47.09
PEOPLE COME TO THESE SEMINARS
AND THEY SAY, 'PASTOR DOUG, I
00:13:47.12\00:13:49.46
DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT JESUS,
BUT TELL ME ABOUT THE BEAST.
00:13:49.49\00:13:52.06
I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE
ANTICHRIST.' BY THE WAY, THE
00:13:52.09\00:13:54.20
WORD ANTICHRIST DOES NOT APPEAR
IN REVELATION, DID YOU KNOW
00:13:54.23\00:13:56.43
THAT? IT'S IN
THE LETTERS OF JOHN.
00:13:56.46\00:13:58.73
THEY SAY, 'I WANT TO KNOW
ABOUT ARMAGEDDON' AND 'I WANT TO
00:13:58.77\00:14:01.24
KNOW...' WELL, WHAT'S THE
BOOK OF REVELATION CALLED?
00:14:01.27\00:14:05.07
FIRST WORDS: THE
REVELATION OF JESUS .
00:14:05.11\00:14:09.08
SO YOU CAN'T TEACH PROPHECY AND
SEPARATE IT FROM JESUS, FRIENDS.
00:14:09.11\00:14:13.35
AMEN? HOW THEN AM
I TO BE CLEANSED AND
00:14:13.38\00:14:16.55
FORGIVEN - OR
FORGIVEN AND CLEANSED?
00:14:16.58\00:14:18.62
ACTS CHAPTER 3, IT SAYS, 'REPENT
YE THEREFORE AND BE CONVERTED.'
00:14:18.65\00:14:25.76
- THAT'S A CHANGE OF HEART -
'THAT YOUR SINS MIGHT BE BLOTTED
00:14:25.79\00:14:28.43
OUT.' NOW WHAT
DOES REPENTANCE MEAN?
00:14:28.46\00:14:32.80
REPENTANCE IS A SORROW FOR SIN
AND A WILLINGNESS TO TURN AWAY
00:14:32.83\00:14:37.17
FROM IT. YOU'VE GOT
TO LOOK IN THE MIRROR
00:14:37.21\00:14:39.44
AND COME TO TERMS
WITH YOU'VE GOT A PROBLEM.
00:14:39.47\00:14:41.41
GOD CANNOT SAVE YOU, CLEANSE
YOU, HEAL YOU FROM YOUR PROBLEM
00:14:41.44\00:14:43.95
UNTIL YOU ACKNOWLEDGE IT.
00:14:43.98\00:14:45.78
YOU HAVE TO HUMBLE YOURSELF
AND THEN HE CAN LIFT YOU UP.
00:14:45.81\00:14:48.48
AND YOU COME BEFORE THE LORD AND
SAY, 'LORD, I'M A SINNER.' AND
00:14:48.52\00:14:53.19
THE NEXT PART OF THAT - LET'S
GET TO THE NEXT VERSE - IT SAYS
00:14:53.22\00:14:55.86
IN 1 JOHN 1, VERSE 9 - IN
CONNECTION WITH REPENTANCE
00:14:55.89\00:14:59.83
THERE'S SORT OF A
STEREO PART OF THAT.
00:14:59.86\00:15:02.36
IT SAYS, "IF WE CONFESS OUR
SINS, HE IS FAITHFUL AND JUST TO
00:15:02.40\00:15:08.44
FORGIVE US OUR SINS
AND TO CLEANSE US FROM SOME
00:15:08.47\00:15:11.24
UNRIGHTEOUSNESS?" >>ALL.
00:15:11.27\00:15:13.41
>>DID YOU CATCH THAT?
TO CLEANSE US FROM HOW MUCH
00:15:13.44\00:15:15.64
UNRIGHTEOUSNESS? >>ALL.
00:15:15.68\00:15:17.08
>>ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. SO
PART OF BEING SORRY IS THEN
00:15:17.11\00:15:21.55
VERBALIZE IT TO THE
LORD. GET OFF BY YOURSELF.
00:15:21.58\00:15:24.79
THIS IS WHAT REAL REPENTANCE
AND REAL SALVATION IS ABOUT.
00:15:24.82\00:15:27.82
INVITING GOD TO
EMPOWER YOU TO BE A NEW PERSON.
00:15:27.86\00:15:30.99
YOU TAKE THE FIRST STEPS
AND DRAW NEAR TO GOD AND IT WILL
00:15:31.03\00:15:33.90
GIVE YOU SUCH A REFRESHING AND
A PEACE THAT COMES AFTERWARD.
00:15:33.93\00:15:37.93
YOU KNOW, NEW THINGS DON'T
SPROUT UNTIL THERE'S BEEN A
00:15:37.97\00:15:39.87
RAIN. AND
SOMETIMES THE NEW BIRTH
00:15:39.90\00:15:42.27
COMES AFTER TEARS AND PAIN
AND THAT'S WHAT REPENTANCE IS.
00:15:42.30\00:15:46.54
QUESTION #7: WHO ENTERS
THE HEART OF EACH BORN-AGAIN
00:15:46.57\00:15:51.75
CHRISTIAN? THE
BIBLE TELLS US IN JOHN 14,
00:15:51.78\00:15:55.92
VERSE 17, EVEN THE "SPIRIT
OF TRUTH...YOU KNOW HIM FOR HE
00:15:55.95\00:16:02.16
DWELLS WITH YOU
AND WILL BE" - WHAT?
00:16:02.19\00:16:05.03
>>IN YOU. >>IN YOU.
00:16:05.06\00:16:06.70
GOD IS REAL AND JESUS SAID,
'LOOK, I'M GOING THAT I MIGHT
00:16:06.73\00:16:10.47
SEND A COMFORTER - I'M
GOING TO SEND THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:16:10.50\00:16:12.63
I CAN BE WITH YOU PHYSICALLY,
BUT HE WILL BE IN YOU.' AND I
00:16:12.67\00:16:16.10
CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES
I'VE JUST KNOWN THAT THE HOLY
00:16:16.14\00:16:18.27
SPIRIT WAS IN ME
AND PROMPTING ME.
00:16:18.31\00:16:21.24
SOMETIMES HE
PROMPTS ME TO SAY SOMETHING.
00:16:21.28\00:16:23.75
SOMETIMES HE PROMPTS
ME NOT TO SAY SOMETHING.
00:16:23.78\00:16:26.51
SOMETIMES THE HOLY SPIRIT
DIRECTS ME TO, YOU KNOW, AN
00:16:26.55\00:16:31.22
ACTION OR TO DO
SOMETHING FOR SOMEONE.
00:16:31.25\00:16:34.49
I WAS DRIVING UP THE STREET THE
OTHER DAY HERE IN TOWN AND I SAW
00:16:34.52\00:16:38.59
ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE STANDING ON
THE CORNER AND HE HAD AN UNUSUAL
00:16:38.63\00:16:42.43
SIGN. IT SAID,
'I'VE LOST EVERYTHING
00:16:42.46\00:16:44.37
BUT MY FAITH.' AND, YOU KNOW,
I USED TO PANHANDLE AND I SIZED
00:16:44.40\00:16:51.44
HIM UP AND, YOU KNOW, HE LOOKED
LIKE HE WAS SOBER AND MAYBE HE
00:16:51.47\00:16:54.44
REALLY WAS HAVING A HARD TIME
AND, YOU KNOW, I DIDN'T KNOW.
00:16:54.48\00:16:57.48
SO I STOPPED AND I GAVE HIM
A LITTLE BIT AND I GAVE HIM AN
00:16:57.51\00:17:00.38
INVITATION TO THE MEETING AND I
KNEW THE HOLY SPIRIT TOLD ME TO
00:17:00.42\00:17:03.89
DO THAT. WELL, I
THEN WENT ON MY ERRAND
00:17:03.92\00:17:05.79
TO THE STORE RIGHT AROUND THE
CORNER AND, YOU KNOW, I FOUND
00:17:05.82\00:17:08.46
OUT HE REALLY WAS HUNGRY BECAUSE
I SAW HIM COMING OUT OF THE
00:17:08.49\00:17:10.49
STORE WITH FOOD. >>WOW.
00:17:10.53\00:17:12.69
>>SO I SAID, 'THANK YOU, LORD,
FOR IMPRESSING ME.' BUT THE HOLY
00:17:12.73\00:17:16.00
SPIRIT WILL TALK TO YOU IN JUST
THESE LITTLE AFFAIRS OF LIFE.
00:17:16.03\00:17:20.10
QUESTION #8: WHY
SHOULD I BE CONFIDENT THAT MY
00:17:20.14\00:17:23.37
NEW BIRTH
EXPERIENCE WILL BE SUCCESSFUL?
00:17:23.41\00:17:26.51
IT SAYS IN PHILIPPIANS 1, VERSE
6, "HE WHO HAS BEGUN A GOOD WORK
00:17:26.54\00:17:32.78
IN YOU WILL PERFORM IT
UNTIL THE DAY OF JESUS CHRIST."
00:17:32.81\00:17:36.89
YOU CAN BE CONFIDENT - IF YOU
COME TO JESUS ON A DAILY BASIS,
00:17:36.92\00:17:40.66
SURRENDER YOUR LIFE TO HIM,
HE WILL FINISH THE WORK THAT HE
00:17:40.69\00:17:44.09
STARTS IN YOUR LIFE.
PEOPLE SAY, 'OH LORD, BUT I MAY
00:17:44.13\00:17:46.76
FALL.' YOU PROBABLY
WILL. DON'T GET DISCOURAGED.
00:17:46.80\00:17:51.00
WE ALL SOMETIMES GET DISTRACTED
AND WE'LL MAKE MISTAKES AND
00:17:51.03\00:17:53.64
WE'LL FALL, BUT HE THAT BEGAN
A GOOD WORK IN YOU WILL BE THE
00:17:53.67\00:17:57.91
AUTHOR AND THE FINISHER OF YOUR
FAITH. HE WILL FINISH WHAT HE
00:17:57.94\00:18:01.44
STARTED IF YOU CONTINUE
TO SURRENDER YOURSELF TO HIM.
00:18:01.48\00:18:04.65
BECAUSE WHAT'LL HAPPEN IS EITHER
SIN'LL KEEP YOU FROM THE BIBLE
00:18:04.68\00:18:08.72
OR THE BIBLE WILL KEEP YOU FROM
SIN. YOU KEEP PRAYING, YOU KEEP
00:18:08.75\00:18:12.12
READING THE BIBLE, YOU'LL BE SO
MISERABLE WITH YOUR SIN YOU HAVE
00:18:12.15\00:18:14.29
TO GIVE UP GOD OR
YOU'LL GIVE UP YOUR SIN.
00:18:14.32\00:18:16.86
BUT THE TWO
WILL BE INCOMPATIBLE.
00:18:16.89\00:18:19.19
YOU JUST KEEP COMING TO HIM AND
HE'LL FINISH WHAT HE STARTED.
00:18:19.23\00:18:21.96
YOU BELIEVE THAT? SOME
PEOPLE GET DISCOURAGED AND
00:18:22.00\00:18:24.67
THEY THROW THEIR
HANDS IN THE AIR.
00:18:24.70\00:18:25.90
YOU KEEP PLEADING WITH
JESUS. YOU KEEP PRAYING.
00:18:25.93\00:18:28.04
HE WILL TRANSFORM YOU. AND
IT'S A GROWING EXPERIENCE SO
00:18:28.07\00:18:31.84
DON'T GET DISCOURAGED.
HOW CAN I KNOW THAT JESUS
00:18:31.87\00:18:35.38
ACCEPTS ME AND THAT
I'M CALLED HIS CHILD?
00:18:35.41\00:18:38.98
WELL, BECAUSE THE
BIBLE MAKES SOME PROMISES.
00:18:39.01\00:18:41.45
THE BIBLE TELLS US IN TITUS
1, VERSE 2, "...GOD, THAT CANNOT
00:18:41.48\00:18:46.25
LIE, HAS PROMISED." SOME
THINGS GOD CAN'T DO - ONE
00:18:46.29\00:18:51.26
THING HE CAN'T
DO IS HE CAN'T LIE.
00:18:51.29\00:18:54.46
GOD ALSO CANNOT FIND A
SINNER THAT HE DOESN'T LOVE.
00:18:54.50\00:18:58.13
I KNOW, I USED TO THINK, 'OH
LORD, WELL, I KNOW YOU CREATED
00:18:58.17\00:19:00.97
THIS PLAN OF SALVATION FOR
PEOPLE BUT I'VE GONE TOO FAR.'
00:19:01.00\00:19:05.41
AND GOD WANTS US TO KNOW
'I WOULDN'T HAVE GONE THROUGH
00:19:05.44\00:19:08.28
EVERYTHING I WENT THROUGH IF IT
WASN'T POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO MAKE
00:19:08.31\00:19:10.48
IT.' MATTHEW CHAPTER 7, VERSE 7,
00:19:10.51\00:19:14.35
IT SAYS, "ASK AND
IT SHALL BE GIVEN YOU."
00:19:14.38\00:19:19.42
WHAT'S THE MOST
IMPORTANT THING WE CAN ASK FOR?
00:19:19.45\00:19:22.86
JESUS SAID, 'IF YOU HAVE A SON
AND HE COMES TO YOU - MATTHEW
00:19:22.89\00:19:25.69
CHAPTER 7 - 'AND SAYS,
'CAN I HAVE A LOAF OF BREAD?'
00:19:25.73\00:19:28.13
WOULD YOU GIVE HIM A STONE?'
THAT'D BE KIND OF A CRUEL JOKE
00:19:28.16\00:19:31.63
IF THEY'RE HUNGRY. OR IF
HE SAYS, 'CAN I HAVE A FISH?'
00:19:31.67\00:19:34.30
WOULD YOU GIVE HIM A SCORPION?
00:19:34.34\00:19:38.04
IF HE ASKS FOR AN EGG
WOULD YOU GIVE HIM A SERPENT?'
00:19:38.07\00:19:42.28
- LUKE ADDS ONE MORE - HE THEN
SAYS, 'IF YOU THEN, BEING EVIL,
00:19:42.31\00:19:46.72
KNOW HOW TO GIVE GOOD GIFTS UNTO
YOUR CHILDREN, HOW MUCH MORE
00:19:46.75\00:19:50.12
WILL YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN GIVE
THE HOLY SPIRIT TO THOSE THAT
00:19:50.15\00:19:53.25
ASK HIM?' HE
JUST WANTS US TO ASK.
00:19:53.29\00:19:57.13
EVERY DAY, ASK AND WHAT HAPPENS?
'ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE.'
00:19:57.16\00:20:02.03
HOW WILL TRUE
CONVERSION CHANGE A LIFE?
00:20:02.06\00:20:05.33
NOW WE'RE GOING TO GIVE
YOU A SPECTRUM OF ANSWERS HERE.
00:20:05.37\00:20:08.70
IT SAYS IN JOHN 13:35, "BY THIS
SHALL ALL MEN KNOW THAT YE ARE
00:20:08.74\00:20:14.04
MY DISCIPLES, IF YE
HAVE LOVE ONE TO ANOTHER."
00:20:14.08\00:20:18.15
GOD'LL DO SOMETHING IN
YOUR HEART - BELIEVE IT OR NOT,
00:20:18.18\00:20:21.08
YOU'LL NOT ONLY BE ABLE TO LOVE
THE PEOPLE THAT YOU LIVE WITH,
00:20:21.12\00:20:24.02
YOU'LL BE ABLE TO
LOVE YOUR ENEMIES.
00:20:24.05\00:20:26.32
GOD CAN CHANGE YOUR HEART.
HE CAN GIVE THE ABILITY TO
00:20:26.35\00:20:29.79
FORGIVE. AND SOME
OF US NEED THE SPIRIT
00:20:29.82\00:20:32.56
OF GOD TO FORGIVE OURSELVES
BECAUSE WE FEEL SO GUILTY.
00:20:32.59\00:20:36.46
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU,
BUT THERE'S PLACES IN MY PAST I
00:20:36.50\00:20:38.90
DON'T WANT TO GO.
WHENEVER I THINK ABOUT WHAT I
00:20:38.93\00:20:40.57
SAID OR WHAT I
DID, I JUST CRINGE.
00:20:40.60\00:20:42.87
AND THEN I REMEMBER THAT JESUS
HAS FORGIVEN ME, SO WHAT RIGHT
00:20:42.90\00:20:45.97
DO I HAVE TO BE A
HIGHER COURT THAN GOD.
00:20:46.01\00:20:50.25
IF HE'S FORGIVEN ME, THEN THAT
MUST BE GOOD FOR ME TOO, AMEN?
00:20:50.28\00:20:53.95
HE'LL HELP US HAVE LOVE FOR
HIM AND LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER.
00:20:53.98\00:20:57.79
NOW I'M GOING THROUGH, KIND OF,
THE ALPHABETICAL ANSWERS HERE.
00:20:57.82\00:20:59.75
ANSWER B - THIS IS IN A SERIES
THAT FALLS UNDER THAT QUESTION -
00:20:59.79\00:21:03.93
"IF ANY MAN BE IN
CHRIST, HE IS A" - WHAT?
00:21:03.96\00:21:07.73
>>NEW CREATURE.
>>"A NEW CREATURE.
00:21:07.76\00:21:10.17
OLD THINGS ARE PASSED
AWAY. ALL THINGS ARE MADE NEW."
00:21:10.20\00:21:14.00
WE - YOU BECOME TRANSFORMED
AND THINGS ARE ALL DIFFERENT.
00:21:14.04\00:21:19.44
THINGS THAT YOU
ONCE LOVED, YOU NOW HATE.
00:21:19.47\00:21:22.38
I USED TO - THE FIRST FEW
TIMES I WENT TO CHURCH, I'LL BE
00:21:22.41\00:21:24.68
PERFECTLY HONEST WITH YOU, I
GREW UP WITH THE MUSIC OF THE
00:21:24.71\00:21:26.85
WORLD. MY MOTHER
WAS A SONGWRITER AND
00:21:26.88\00:21:29.52
GREAT COMPOSERS CAME TO
OUR HOUSE AND I LOVE MUSIC, BUT
00:21:29.55\00:21:32.15
CHURCH MUSIC?
WHOA. IT WAS SO SLOW.
00:21:32.19\00:21:36.52
I'D GO TO CHURCH AND I'D LOOK AT
THE HYMN THAT THEY PICKED IN THE
00:21:36.56\00:21:39.29
BULLETIN AND IT WOULD SAY - IF
IT HAD MORE THAN THREE VERSES, I
00:21:39.33\00:21:42.00
WENT TO THE BATHROOM UNTIL THEY
GOT DONE SINGING. THE THINGS I
00:21:42.03\00:21:46.37
ONCE LOVED, I HATED AND
THE THINGS I ONCE HATED I LOVE.
00:21:46.40\00:21:49.60
NOW I HEAR THOSE SONGS AND
IT JUST BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES
00:21:49.64\00:21:52.47
BECAUSE I THINK ABOUT THE WORDS
AND WHAT THEY MEAN. PLACES I
00:21:52.51\00:21:55.34
USED TO LOVE TO GO, I HATE
NOW. THINGS I USED TO LOVE TO DO
00:21:55.38\00:21:58.58
I DON'T WANT TO DO AND THINGS
I USED TO HATE I WANT TO DO.
00:21:58.61\00:22:01.15
I MEAN, GOD JUST CHANGES YOU -
MAKES YOU A WHOLE NEW CREATURE.
00:22:01.18\00:22:05.39
ANSWER C: 1 JOHN 3:22, "...WE
KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS, AND DO" -
00:22:05.42\00:22:11.86
THERE'S THAT WORD AGAIN - "THOSE
THINGS THAT ARE PLEASING IN HIS
00:22:11.89\00:22:15.70
SIGHT." THIS IS
WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES.
00:22:15.73\00:22:18.07
HE MAKES YOU A NEW CREATURE
AND YOU WANT TO BE A DOER OF THE
00:22:18.10\00:22:20.40
WORD. GOD'LL JUST
TOTALLY TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE.
00:22:20.44\00:22:25.27
ANSWER D: IT SAYS, "BE NOT
CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD BUT BE
00:22:25.31\00:22:31.18
YE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING
OF YOUR MIND THAT WE MIGHT PROVE
00:22:31.21\00:22:36.89
WHAT IS THAT GOOD AND ACCEPTABLE
AND PERFECT WILL OF GOD.
00:22:36.92\00:22:41.12
IT SAYS, 'YOU SHALL
BE WITNESSES UNTO ME.'
00:22:41.16\00:22:45.49
THEN WE LET OUR LIGHT SHINE.
00:22:45.53\00:22:47.13
WE SHOW OTHERS
WHAT JESUS IS LIKE.
00:22:47.13\00:22:50.03
WHAT WONDERFUL PROMISES
COME WITH THE CHRISTIAN LIFE?
00:22:50.07\00:22:54.30
A NUMBER OF OTHER
WONDERFUL PROMISES.
00:22:54.34\00:22:56.24
A - WE'LL DO THESE
QUICKLY, OKAY? PHILIPPIANS 4:13,
00:22:56.27\00:23:00.08
"I CAN DO" - HOW MUCH? >>ALL.
00:23:00.11\00:23:02.38
>>"ALL THINGS THROUGH
CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME."
00:23:02.41\00:23:05.91
ANSWER B - PHILIPPIANS 4:19
- THE BIBLE SAYS, "GOD SHALL
00:23:05.95\00:23:11.09
SUPPLY ALL YOUR NEEDS."
HE WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU.
00:23:11.12\00:23:15.36
HE'LL GIVE YOU EVERYTHING
YOU NEED TO PROSPER, AS A PARENT
00:23:15.39\00:23:18.13
WOULD. MARK CHAPTER 10, VERSE 27
- DON'T FORGET THIS ONE - "WITH
00:23:18.16\00:23:23.30
GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE."
ANSWER D - JOHN 15, VERSE 11 -
00:23:23.33\00:23:31.47
IT SAYS, "THAT YOUR JOY" -
IS THE CHRISTIAN LIFE A SAD
00:23:31.51\00:23:35.74
EXPERIENCE OR IS
THE GOSPEL GOOD NEWS?
00:23:35.78\00:23:38.81
CHRISTIANS OUGHT TO BE THE
HAPPIEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD.
00:23:38.85\00:23:41.42
WE HAVE ETERNAL
LIFE THAT BEGINS NOW.
00:23:41.45\00:23:43.92
WE BECOME
CITIZENS IN HIS KINGDOM.
00:23:43.95\00:23:45.82
GOD WILL TRANSFORM YOUR
LIFE AND GIVE YOU A PURPOSE.
00:23:45.85\00:23:49.09
JOHN 10:10 - IT SAYS, "THAT THEY
MIGHT HAVE LIFE MORE ABUNDANT."
00:23:49.12\00:23:56.33
JESUS DOESN'T COME TO TAKE AWAY
YOUR LIFE, HE WANTS YOU TO HAVE
00:23:56.36\00:23:58.90
AN ABUNDANT LIFE.
HEBREWS 13, VERSE 5, "I WILL" -
00:23:58.93\00:24:04.77
JESUS PROMISES - "I WILL
NEVER LEAVE YOU OR FORSAKE YOU."
00:24:04.81\00:24:10.05
HE SAYS WHEREVER
YOU GO, HE'S WITH YOU.
00:24:10.08\00:24:12.68
HE'LL WATCH OVER YOU. AND
THEN, YOU CAN ALSO READ IN
00:24:12.71\00:24:16.52
HEBREWS CHAPTER 13, VERSE 6 -
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE AFRAID OF
00:24:16.55\00:24:20.46
ANYTHING. SOME
PEOPLE LIVE IN FEAR.
00:24:20.49\00:24:22.49
IT SAYS, "I WILL NOT
FEAR WHAT MAN CAN DO UNTO ME."
00:24:22.52\00:24:27.66
YOU KNOW, IF YOU HAVE GOD IN
YOUR LIFE, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE
00:24:27.73\00:24:31.00
AFRAID OF ANYTHING. IF
YOU'RE FEARING GOD, YOU DON'T
00:24:31.03\00:24:33.00
HAVE TO FEAR ANYTHING ELSE.
IF YOU DO NOT FEAR GOD, YOU'RE
00:24:33.03\00:24:35.60
GOING TO END UP
FEARING EVERYTHING ELSE.
00:24:35.64\00:24:37.87
PEOPLE HAVING PANIC ATTACKS
- A LOT OF PEOPLE LIVE IN FEAR.
00:24:37.91\00:24:40.61
SOME ARE AFRAID TO LEAVE
THEIR HOUSES - THEY'RE TAKING
00:24:40.64\00:24:42.24
MEDICATIONS AND I'M NOT A DOCTOR
BUT I THINK A LOT OF THESE
00:24:42.28\00:24:45.28
THINGS COULD BE
RESOLVED BY HAVING FAITH IN GOD.
00:24:45.31\00:24:49.32
HE GIVES YOU - THAT'S
THE LAST ONE - JOHN 14:27 -
00:24:49.35\00:24:54.66
HE SAYS, "MY PEACE I GIVE YOU."
00:24:54.69\00:24:58.09
JESUS COULD SLEEP THROUGH A
STORM BECAUSE HE KNEW HIS FATHER
00:24:58.13\00:25:01.26
WAS ALWAYS WITH HIM AND
JESUS WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU.
00:25:01.30\00:25:05.20
SO WHAT'S THE SUM OF
WHAT I'M SAYING, FRIENDS?
00:25:05.23\00:25:08.17
THAT THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY
FOR YOU TO REALLY HAVE PEACE AND
00:25:08.20\00:25:11.31
POWER AND PURPOSE IN YOUR LIFE
AND IT'S TO ACCEPT THE SACRIFICE
00:25:11.34\00:25:15.41
OF GOD'S SON. YOU KNOW,
THIS TOOK ON NEW MEANING FOR ME.
00:25:15.44\00:25:19.81
I USED TO READ THAT VERSE
ALL THE TIME: 'GOD SO LOVED THE
00:25:19.85\00:25:22.12
WORLD HE GAVE HIS SON' AND THEN
A FEW YEARS AGO I WAS DOING SOME
00:25:22.15\00:25:26.05
EVANGELISTIC MEETINGS IN
THE PHILIPPINES AND WHILE I WAS
00:25:26.09\00:25:30.13
THERE I THOUGHT, I'M GOING
TO CALL MY FIRSTBORN SON, MICAH,
00:25:30.16\00:25:34.10
AND JUST SEE HOW HE'S DOING.
THEY HAD THIS NEW TECHNOLOGY
00:25:34.13\00:25:37.27
CALLED SKYPE - IT HAD A
DIFFERENT NAME BACK THEN AND I
00:25:37.30\00:25:41.50
WANTED TO MAKE A CHEAP
PHONE CALL ON MY COMPUTER.
00:25:41.54\00:25:44.54
SO I CALLED HIM UP. WE
TALKED A LITTLE BIT AS A
00:25:44.57\00:25:46.41
FATHER AND SON -
JUST, 'WHAT YOU DOING?
00:25:46.44\00:25:47.78
OH, I WISH YOU WERE HERE
WITH ME.' AND WE TALKED AND JUST
00:25:47.81\00:25:51.11
BEFORE I HUNG UP I THOUGHT ABOUT
SAYING, 'YOU KNOW, I LOVE YOU
00:25:51.15\00:25:53.48
SON.' BUT YOU KNOW HE'S A TOUGH
KID AND YOU KNOW YOU GO TO HUG
00:25:53.52\00:25:58.02
HIM AND 'OH, C'MON DAD, YOU'RE
GETTING MUSHY.' AND SO I SAID,
00:25:58.05\00:25:59.85
'I LOVE YOU, I'LL SEE YOU WHEN
I GET BACK.' THAT NEXT MORNING I
00:25:59.89\00:26:04.73
GOT A PHONE CALL. HE
WAS A CONTRACTOR - 23 YEARS
00:26:04.76\00:26:09.00
OLD - HAD A FATAL
CONSTRUCTION ACCIDENT.
00:26:09.03\00:26:13.67
AND WHEN YOU GET THE WORD, AS
A PARENT, THAT YOU'VE LOST YOUR
00:26:13.70\00:26:17.84
CHILD, YOU WOULD DO ANYTHING
TO BRING HIM BACK TO LIFE.
00:26:17.87\00:26:23.41
DEATH IS SUCH A
TERRIBLE PERMANENT SITUATION.
00:26:23.45\00:26:28.62
AND I CANNOT READ THAT VERSE
ANYMORE, WHERE IT SAYS 'FOR GOD
00:26:28.65\00:26:31.35
SO LOVED THE WORLD HE GAVE HIS
SON' THE SAME WAY BECAUSE I KNOW
00:26:31.39\00:26:36.59
HOW MUCH IT BROKE MY
HEART - AND OUR FAMILY -
00:26:36.62\00:26:40.30
WHEN WE GOT THE
NEWS ABOUT MICAH.
00:26:40.33\00:26:43.57
AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE
RESURRECTION AND GETTING OTHER
00:26:43.60\00:26:46.10
PEOPLE READY. THAT'S
THE PURPOSE FOR LIFE.
00:26:46.13\00:26:49.44
HE WANTS YOU TO BE READY
BUT HE WON'T FORCE YOU, FRIENDS.
00:26:49.47\00:26:52.67
YOU NEED TO MAKE THE DECISION.
00:26:52.71\00:26:55.28
