00:03:11.25\00:03:18.06
LET'S LOOK AT SABBATH.
OUR MEMORY TEXT IS PHILIPPIANS
00:03:18.06\00:03:26.74
2, 5-7. I BELIEVE
THIS IS MY FAVORITE
00:03:26.74\00:03:31.37
TEXT IN THE PAOEUBL.
LET IT BE IN YOU WHICH IS IN
00:03:31.37\00:03:40.52
CHRIST JESUS. IN OTHER
WORDS, THE CHARACTER OF
00:03:40.52\00:03:42.68
CHRIST IS OUR EXAMPLE. HIS
MIND, HIS THOUGHTS SHOULD BE
00:03:42.68\00:03:47.19
OUR ATTITUDE. IT'S
SAYS, WHO BEING IN THE FORM
00:03:47.19\00:03:51.86
OF GOD DID NOT
CONSIDER IT ROBBERY TO BE EQUAL.
00:03:51.86\00:03:58.97
TAKING THE FORM OF A BOND
SERVICE COMING IN THE LIKENESS
00:03:58.97\00:04:03.54
OF MEN. WE'LL BREAK THAT DOWN.
00:04:03.54\00:04:05.54
LET ME ASK YOU, WHAT
WAS CHRIST'S MIND LIKE?
00:04:05.54\00:04:09.34
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT
THAT, THE ESSENCE OF CHRIST IS
00:04:09.34\00:04:21.36
SELF-SACRIFICING, WAS IT
NOT? LET'S LOOK AT SUNDAY, JESUS
00:04:21.36\00:04:26.46
SELF-SACRIFICING LOVE AND WE'LL
BEGIN AGAIN WITH THIS PASSAGE --
00:04:26.46\00:04:31.30
WE'LL BEGIN IN PHILIPPIANS 2:6.
WHO BEING IN THE FORM OF GOD DID
00:04:31.30\00:04:38.04
NOT CONSIDER CAN IT
ROBBERY TO BE EQUAL WITH GOD.
00:04:38.04\00:04:43.14
FORM IS A GREEK IT DENOTES THE
ESSENTIAL BEING THE UNCHANGING
00:04:43.14\00:04:52.29
CHARACTER OF A
BEING. JESUS CHRIST ALL HIS
00:04:52.29\00:04:59.09
CHARACTERISTICS ENCOMPASSED THE
CHARACTERISTICS OF GOD IT WAS HE
00:04:59.09\00:05:03.33
WAS GOD. HE WAS
CO-EQUAL WITH GOD
00:05:03.33\00:05:06.13
THROUGHOUT ETERNITY. WE
KNOW THAT JOHN 1:1 SAYS IN
00:05:06.13\00:05:12.21
THE BEGINNING WAS THE
WORD AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD.
00:05:12.21\00:05:18.01
IT SHOWS HE'S A DISTINCT PERSON.
HE WAS ETERNAL BUT DISTINCT AND
00:05:18.01\00:05:23.59
THE WORD WAS GOD. IT
WAS GOD WHO THEN IN VERSE 14
00:05:23.59\00:05:30.53
SAID, HE TOOK ON OUR FLESH HE
CAME DOWN AND WE HELD HIS GLORY.
00:05:30.53\00:05:41.47
PHILIPPIANS 2:7 SAID HE MADE
HIMSELF OF NO REPUTATIONL COMING
00:05:41.47\00:05:45.94
IN THE LIKENESS OF MEN.
THROUGHOUT ALL ETERNITY JESUS
00:05:45.94\00:05:52.91
HAD ALL OF THE RIGHTS AND
PRIVILEGES AND THE HONOR OF
00:05:52.91\00:05:58.02
DEITY. BUT THIS
WORD HERE THAT SAYS HE
00:05:58.02\00:05:59.95
MADE HIMSELF OF NO REPUTATION,
THE WORD IN THE GREEK IS
00:05:59.95\00:06:12.17
KINOSIS. HE LAID
ASIDE ALL HIS PRIVILEGES
00:06:12.17\00:06:19.71
TO BECOME THE COVENANT SON OF
GOD WHO WAS GOING TO CHANGE US.
00:06:19.71\00:06:23.14
HE DIDN'T EXCHANGE
HIS DEITY FOR HUMANITY.
00:06:23.14\00:06:26.21
HE WAS PERFECTLY MAN, YET HE
NEVER DREW ON HIS POWERS AS GOD
00:06:26.21\00:06:35.22
RATHER, WHAT HE DID WAS HE
TOTALLY -- HE LAID ASIDE HIS
00:06:35.22\00:06:40.83
DEFINE AUTHORITY AND TOTALLY
SUBMITTED TO THE FATHER'S WILL.
00:06:40.83\00:06:43.80
HE SAID I ONLY DO WHAT THE
FATHER CHOSE TO ME DO AND SAY.
00:06:43.80\00:06:55.08
IN HIS INCARNATION HE SUBMITTED
TO THE HOLY SPIRIT'S DIRECTION.
00:06:55.08\00:06:58.75
THAT IS THE DEFINITION OF
HUMILITY IS TOTAL DEPENDANCE ON
00:06:58.75\00:07:03.85
GOD. THAT'S WHAT HUMILITY IS ALL
00:07:03.85\00:07:06.45
ABOUT. SO HE
STEPPED OUT OF HEAVEN AND
00:07:06.45\00:07:12.56
HE BECAME LIKE HIS BRETHREN IN
ALL WAYS HE DID WHAT GOD ASKED
00:07:12.56\00:07:25.51
HIM TO DO BUT
HE'S THE HIGH PRIEST.
00:07:25.51\00:07:29.38
HE SYMPATHIZES WITH HIS
WEAKNESSES HE WENT TO THE CROSS
00:07:29.38\00:08:16.36
FOR YOU AND ME. I
PRAISE GOD EVERY NIGHT, EVERY
00:08:16.36\00:08:20.26
NIGHT AS I'M PRAYING, I AM
PRAISING GOD FOR WHAT HE DID TO
00:08:20.26\00:08:25.50
THINK THAT MY CREATOR BECAME
A MAN TO SAVE ME IS AMAZING.
00:08:25.50\00:08:30.07
HE HUMBLED HIMSELF THROUGH
OBEDIENCE AND HE WENT BEYOND
00:08:30.07\00:08:37.51
PERSECUTION TO THE DEVASTATING
DEGRADING DEATH OF THE CROSS
00:08:37.51\00:08:42.22
WHICH -- YOU KNOW WHY HE DID
THIS, THE FIRST MAN ADAM FAILED.
00:08:42.22\00:08:49.76
SO GOD PROMISED IN GENESIS 3:15
THERE WOULD BE A NEW MAN P.M.
00:08:49.76\00:08:56.77
WHO WOULD COME. HE
WOULD BE THE SEED OF A WOMAN,
00:08:56.77\00:09:02.67
ACTUALLY YOU KNOW WHEN EVE GAVE
BIRTH, IF YOU RESEARCH THE NAME
00:09:02.67\00:09:40.74
HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS IN
OBEDIENCE IS ATTRIBUTED TO US.
00:09:40.74\00:09:45.75
HE SAID THEREFORE
GOD HAS HIGHLY EXH
00:09:45.75\00:09:57.99
EX EX
00:09:57.99\00:09:59.13
EXALTED HIM. AND
THAT EVERYBODY SHOULD
00:09:59.13\00:10:02.10
CONFESS THAT
JESUS CHRIST IS LORD.
00:10:02.10\00:10:03.83
NOW, I JUST WANT TO SAY THIS,
I'M GIVING YOU A VERY SHORT
00:10:03.83\00:10:10.07
DEFINITION HERE OR A VERY
SHORT EXPLANATION I SHOULD SAY.
00:10:10.07\00:10:15.41
IF ANYTHING I SAY CONFUSES YOU,
GO BACK AND WATCH THE SERMON
00:10:15.41\00:10:19.35
THAT I DID ON THE
ETERNAL LIGHT OF HUMILITY.
00:10:19.35\00:10:23.22
THAT WAS THE
CAMP MEETING SERMON.
00:10:23.22\00:10:27.82
BUT WHAT I WANT TO TELL YOU IS
THAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT COVENANT
00:10:27.82\00:10:32.36
AND WE SO MISUNDERSTAND -- THERE
ARE SO MANY PEOPLE WHO THINK
00:10:32.36\00:10:37.27
THAT THE WORD -- WHEN IT
SAYS THAT GOD WE GOT JESUS AND
00:10:37.27\00:10:42.17
SOMEWHERE IN ETERNITY'S PATH
THAT JESUS CAME FORTH FROM THE
00:10:42.17\00:10:49.74
BOSOM OF GOD, IT MEANS THAT
YOU ARE CHOSEN FOR A COVETED
00:10:49.74\00:10:59.35
PURPOSE. AS A MATTER OF FACT IN
00:10:59.35\00:11:04.33
DEUTERONOMY THE BIBLE SAYS THIS
IS TALKING ABOUT THE ROCK, OUR
00:11:04.33\00:11:06.80
LORD GOD AND HE'S SAYING TO THE
ISRAELITES OF THE ROCK WHO WE
00:11:06.80\00:11:15.40
GOT YOU YOU ARE UNMINDFUL.
YOU FORGOTTEN GOD WHO FATHERED
00:11:15.40\00:11:22.51
YOU -- DID GOD
GIVE BIRTH TO ISRAEL?
00:11:22.51\00:11:27.68
NO. HE WEBEGOT THEM.
00:11:27.68\00:11:41.53
ADAM IS CALLED THE SON OF
GOD. YOU FIND THAT IN LUKE 3:38.
00:11:41.53\00:11:45.80
ADAM WAS THE SON OF GOD AND
THROUGHOUT THE BIBLE THEN THE
00:11:45.80\00:11:50.31
COVENANT TERM SON OF GOD IS
REFERRING TO A SUCCESSION WHO
00:11:50.31\00:12:02.48
ARE GOD'S SON IN
A COVETED PURPOSE.
00:12:02.48\00:12:05.55
WE SEE IN PSALM 2:7 HE
SAID TO DAVID, YOU ARE MY SON.
00:12:05.55\00:12:12.03
TODAY I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU.
AND THEN THAT'S KIND OF LIKE I
00:12:12.03\00:12:17.37
GUESS YOU COULD SAY IT WAS LIKE
AN ENTHRONEMENT ORDINANCE WHEN
00:12:17.37\00:12:23.87
HE'S MAKING DAVID KING.
BUT WHAT THAT MEANS TO BE THE
00:12:23.87\00:12:26.71
SON OF GOD IN THE COVENANT
TERM THIS IS TALKING ABOUT THE
00:12:26.71\00:12:34.58
PRIVILEGES OF
RELATIONSHIP. GUESS WHAT?
00:12:34.58\00:12:36.35
GOD WOULD SAY TO THESE MEN HERE,
HE WOULD SAY YOU ARE MY SON.
00:12:36.35\00:12:39.95
HE WOULD SAY TO
JILL, YOU ARE MY DAUGHTER.
00:12:39.95\00:12:42.32
WE HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF
RELATIONSHIP BECAUSE OF GOD'S
00:12:42.32\00:12:47.66
COVENANT PROMISE. I
THINK THAT'S SO BEAUTIFUL.
00:12:47.66\00:12:56.27
IT'S INTERESTING. WHEN
GOD PROMISED ABRAHAM AND
00:12:56.27\00:12:59.44
SARA A SON, HE SAID, YOU'RE
GOING TO BEAR A SEASON AND I
00:12:59.44\00:13:05.25
WILL ESTABLISH MY
COVENANT WITH YOU.
00:13:05.25\00:13:07.72
AND THEN IN GENESIS 22:2 SAYS TO
ABRAHAM, BRING ISAAC YOUR ONLY
00:13:07.72\00:13:26.47
SON. SO THE TERM
ONLY SON MEANS HE IS
00:13:26.47\00:13:31.71
UNIQUE TO THE COVENANT PROMISE.
FIRST BORN ACTUALLY CAN MEAN
00:13:31.71\00:13:38.98
THAT AS WELL. THE
IT'S NOT CHRONOLOGICAL WHEN
00:13:38.98\00:13:43.05
YOU'RE TALKING
COVENANT LANG WABLG.
00:13:43.05\00:13:44.89
FIRST BORN MEANS THIS IS
THE CHANNEL THROUGH WHOM THE
00:13:44.89\00:13:47.86
COVENANT BLESSINGS ARE GOING TO
BE PASSED FROM ONE GENERATION TO
00:13:47.86\00:13:55.90
ANOTHER. LET ME
SHOW YOU THIS ONE.
00:13:55.90\00:14:01.17
EXODUS CHAPTER 4:22.
THIS IS GOD TELLING MOSES.
00:14:01.17\00:14:06.24
HE SAID YOU SHALL SAY THUS
SAYS THE LORD THIS IS MY SON, MY
00:14:06.24\00:14:12.35
FIRST BORN. HE'S
TALKING OF ISRAEL.
00:14:12.35\00:14:59.83
A THE TITLE OF THIS LESSON IS
00:14:59.83\00:15:02.60
COMMITMENT CALL.
THERE IS A BEAUTIFUL PASSAGE
00:15:02.60\00:15:09.27
WHEN JESUS JESUS SAW TWO
BROTHERS SIMON AND PETER.
00:15:09.27\00:15:28.52
THEN HE SAID TO THEM, FOLLOW ME.
THEY IMMEDIATELY LEFT THEIR NETS
00:15:28.52\00:15:43.77
AND FOLLOWED HIM.
PEOPLE WHO GO FISHING THEY
00:15:43.77\00:16:02.49
EITHER GO EARLY EARLING IN THE
MORNING OR AFTER AS SUN WAS 0
00:16:02.49\00:16:06.93
GOING DOWN. BUT
JESUS WAS WALKING JUST AS
00:16:06.93\00:16:09.10
THE SUN WAS COMING UP.
IN JOHN CHAPTER 1 WE SEE ST
00:16:09.10\00:17:03.18
BEGINNING OF THIS
CALL THAT JESUS MADE.
00:17:03.18\00:17:06.05
VERSE 36, JOHN THE BAPTIST SAYS
HERE AND LOOKING AT JESUS AS HE
00:17:06.05\00:17:11.59
WALKED HE SAID BEHOLD THE LAMB
OF GOD WHERE ARE YOU STAYING.
00:17:11.59\00:17:32.58
THEY WANTED TO BE WITH
JESUS. HE SAID COME AND SEE.
00:17:32.58\00:17:40.82
THEY KAEURPL AND REMAINED
WHERE HE WAS STAYING THAT DAY.
00:17:40.82\00:17:45.66
ONE OF THE TWO WHO FOLD HIM WAS
ANDREW, SIMON PETER'S BROTHER.
00:17:45.66\00:17:52.67
HE FIRST FOUND HIS OWN BROTHER
SIMON AND SAID TO HIM WE HAVE
00:17:52.67\00:17:56.17
FOUND THE MESSIAH,
WHICH IS TRANSLATED TO CHRIST.
00:17:56.17\00:18:03.98
WHEN JESUS LOOKED AT HIM HE SAID
YOU ARE SIMON, SON OF JONAH.
00:18:03.98\00:18:10.55
NOW YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENED
HERE IS THAT ANDREW HAD BEEN
00:18:10.55\00:18:16.32
LISTENING TO JOHN THE BAPTIST.
HE WAS AMAZED AND BLESSED AND
00:18:16.32\00:18:22.36
WHEN JOHN THE BAPTIST SAYS
BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD ANDREW
00:18:22.36\00:18:25.80
SAYS, WAIT A MINUTE. I
NEED TO SEE AND HEAR THIS MAN
00:18:25.80\00:18:32.51
AND HE FOLLOWED HIM.
IT'S INTERESTING NO NOTE THAT
00:18:32.51\00:18:36.24
PETER CAME AND MET JESUS.
PETER HEARD AND ANDREW HAD HEARD
00:18:36.24\00:18:40.12
THE MESSAGES OF JESUS.
BUT THEY WRE STILL FISHING.
00:18:40.12\00:18:50.46
BUT THIS POINT IN MATTHEW
CHAPTER 4 IS WHEN JESUS MAKES A
00:18:50.46\00:18:58.03
CALL OF COMMITMENTMENT IN OTHER
WORDS STOP WHAT YOU YOU'RE DOING
00:18:58.03\00:19:01.27
AND LEAVE IT
ASIDE AND FOLLOW ME.
00:19:01.27\00:19:05.11
DEDICATE YOUR LIFE INSTEAD
OF FISHING FOR FISH JESUS COULD
00:19:05.11\00:19:18.59
HAVE GONE TO THE BEST SCHOOLS
AND SAID WHICH ARE YOUR A
00:19:18.59\00:19:23.96
STUDENTS. WHICH ARE
THE PEOPLE AT THE TOP
00:19:23.96\00:19:29.00
OF THE CLASS WHICH ARE THOSE
THAT WILL BE LEADERS IN THIS
00:19:29.00\00:19:32.63
COUNTRY. BUT HE
WENT TO COMMON FISHERMAN
00:19:32.63\00:19:34.60
TO FIND DISCIPLES. NOW
I'M AFRAID THAT IF HE HAD
00:19:34.60\00:19:43.45
GONE TO THESE SCHOOLS HE MADE A
CALL TO THEM THEY WOULD NOT HAVE
00:19:43.45\00:19:47.05
ACCEPTED THE CALL OF JESUS.
YOU SEE, GOD CALLS THOSE THAT
00:19:47.05\00:19:51.32
ARE TEACHABLE HUMBLE SO THAT HE
CAN TEACH THEM AND GIVE THEM THE
00:19:51.32\00:19:57.03
CAPACITY AND DEVELOP
THOSE TALENTS HE HAS ALREADY PUT
00:19:57.03\00:20:01.80
THERE. THOSE THAT
DON'T THINK THAT I AM
00:20:01.80\00:20:04.67
OVER HERE AND
EVERYONE ELSE IS DOWN THERE.
00:20:04.67\00:20:07.54
YOU SEE, WHEN WE LOOK AT THE
SCRIPTURES WE SEE IN THE BOOK OF
00:20:07.54\00:20:14.71
FIRST CORINTHIANS CHAPTER
1, BEGINNING OF VERSE 26 A
00:20:14.71\00:20:18.35
REVEALING OF
THOSE THAT GOD CALLS.
00:20:18.35\00:20:25.22
NOT MANY MIGHTY
OR NOBLE ARE CALLED.
00:20:25.22\00:20:32.06
GOD HAS CHOSEN THE FOOLISH
THINGS OF THE WORLD TO PUT TO
00:20:32.06\00:20:38.80
SHAME AND BASE THINGS OF THE
WORLD AND THE THINGS THAT ARE
00:20:38.80\00:20:43.10
DESPISED GOD HAS CHOSEN AND THE
THINGS THAT ARE NOT TO BRING TO
00:20:43.10\00:20:47.38
NOTHING THE THINGS THAT ARE THAT
NO FLESH SHOULD GLORY IN ITS
00:20:47.38\00:20:52.95
PRESENCE. THESE
WERE HUMBLE PEOPLE THAT
00:20:52.95\00:20:55.75
GOD SAW IN THEM GREAT POTENTIAL
AS THEY PLACED THEMSELVES IN THE
00:20:55.75\00:21:01.26
HANDS OF THE LORD. AS
WE CONTINUE IN THE LESSON,
00:21:01.26\00:21:08.83
YOU WILL NOTICE THAT IT TAKES
US TO ANOTHER PERSON THAT WAS
00:21:08.83\00:21:12.37
CALLED. MATTHEW CHAPTER 10.
00:21:12.37\00:21:14.54
IT SAYS AS JESUS PASSED ON
FROM THERE HE SAW A MAN NAMED
00:21:14.54\00:21:25.35
MATTHEW. WHAT
WAS HE DOING THERE?
00:21:25.35\00:21:27.72
HE WAS A TAX
COLLECTOR. HE SAID TO HIM.
00:21:27.72\00:21:30.65
FOLLOW ME. SO HE
AROSE AND FOLLOWED HIM.
00:21:30.65\00:21:40.86
OF TO UNDERSTAND THEM BECAUSE
THE JEWS WERE UNDER THE CONTROL
00:21:40.86\00:21:42.90
OF THE ROMANS AND THE ROMANS
THEY CHOSE FROM AMONG THE JEWS
00:21:42.90\00:21:51.27
SOMETIMES THEY WOULD USE A TAX
COLLECTOR AND MATTHEW WAS A VERY
00:21:51.27\00:21:57.45
INTELLIGENT MAN BUT MATTHEW AS
A TAX COLLECTOR HE WAS ALREADY
00:21:57.45\00:22:01.55
LABELED BY THE PEOPLE AND
DESPISED BY THE JEWS BECAUSE YOU
00:22:01.55\00:22:04.32
ARE COLLECTING MONEY FROM
US. I MAY REMEMBER THE PARABLE.
00:22:04.32\00:22:29.44
YOU YOU SEE THE THINKING OF
THOSE DAYS MATTHEW WHEN HE HEARD
00:22:29.44\00:22:34.05
JESUS CALL HIM, HE WAS
AMAZED. HE'S CALLING ME?
00:22:34.05\00:22:46.43
WHAT A CALL. HE
WAS SUM MR. ENOUGH TO
00:22:46.43\00:22:49.96
UNDERSTAND HE
RECEIVED A HIGHER CALLING.
00:22:49.96\00:23:10.39
SO THEY WERE DESPISED BUT
MATTHEW DECIDED TO FOLLOW JESUS.
00:23:10.39\00:23:31.31
YOU'RE TAKING THE CALL OF JESUS
TOSH A FISHER OF MEN AS WELL.
00:23:31.31\00:23:34.01
IT MAY BE FULL-TIME AND AFTER
YOU GET DONE WITH WORK BUT GOD
00:23:34.01\00:23:38.25
IS CALLING EACH
AND EVERY ONE OF US.
00:23:38.25\00:23:40.98
IRREMEMBER WHEN I WAS 9 OR
10 YEARS OLD, I WAS WALKING DOWN
00:23:40.98\00:23:44.45
THE STREET THE DOMINICAN
REPUBLIC AND A THOUGHT CAME TO
00:23:44.45\00:23:47.89
MY MIND. IT WAS NOT
AN AUDIBLE VOICE BUT
00:23:47.89\00:23:50.19
I UNDERSTOOD IT WAS THE
LORD AND THE MESSAGE WAS, I HAVE
00:23:50.19\00:23:52.46
SOMETHING FOR YOU
TO TO. I SAID WHAT?
00:23:52.46\00:23:57.07
I WAS WALKING BY MYSELF AND
I WAS LIKE, WHAT DOES THE LORD
00:23:57.07\00:24:01.74
WANT ME TO. I WAS
GOING TO SABBATH SCHOOL IN
00:24:01.74\00:24:04.41
THOSE DAYS. I BEGAN
TO WONDER WHAT DOES THE
00:24:04.41\00:24:08.01
LORD WANT ME TO TO. IT
WASN'T UNTIL I WAS 12, 13
00:24:08.01\00:24:12.05
YEARS OLD MY SABBATH SCHOOL
TEACHER AS I WAS GOING UP TO
00:24:12.05\00:24:15.92
HEAR THE SERMON STOPPED ME AND
SAID, YOU ARE MY NEXT PASTOR.
00:24:15.92\00:24:21.92
I WAS SHOCKED. I
DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.
00:24:21.92\00:24:25.43
AND SHE SAW I WAS SPEECHLESS.
SHE SAID THAT'S OKAY.
00:24:25.43\00:24:28.63
YOU GO AHEAD AND
GO UP TO THE SERVICE.
00:24:28.63\00:24:30.83
BUT I SAT THERE AS THE
SERMON STARTED THINKING.
00:24:30.83\00:24:36.77
I REMEMBER WHAT THE LORD CALLED
ME TO DO AND I SAID MAYBE GOD
00:24:36.77\00:24:39.44
WANTS ME TO BE A PASTOR.
GOD CALLS PEOPLE AND USES THEM
00:24:39.44\00:24:42.61
ACCORDING TO THE WAY
THEY HUMBLE THEMSELVES.
00:24:42.61\00:24:49.95
>> THE CLEANING OF THE
FISH IS STILL UP TO GOD.
00:24:49.95\00:24:55.09

INTERACTIVE CAMP MEETING.

WE LIKE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS
00:25:16.98\00:25:23.12
AROUND HERE.  TUESDAY'S LESSON
WAS PAUL, GOD'S CHOSEN VESSEL.
00:25:23.12\00:25:45.34
WE ARE ALL GOD'S CHOSEN VESSEL.
BUT PAUL I TELL YOU THIS GUY
00:25:45.34\00:25:49.08
HE'S SO INSPIRING. OUT
OF ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE
00:25:49.08\00:25:52.81
BIBLE I THINK PAUL IS
THE ONE THAT JUST AMAZES ME.
00:25:52.81\00:25:55.25
WHAT HE WENT THROUGH.
NOT TO SAY THAT NONE OF THE
00:25:55.25\00:25:57.92
OTHER BIBLE CHARACTERS AND EVEN
US TODAY THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT
00:25:57.92\00:26:05.63
GO THROUGH A LOT OF STUFF.
BUT WHEN YOU READ PAUL'S LIFE
00:26:05.63\00:26:08.96
AND HOW GOD USED HIM AND
WHAT HE WENT THROUGH IT'S JUST
00:26:08.96\00:26:13.47
INCREDIBLE. I
WANT TO START WITH HIS
00:26:13.47\00:26:24.55
CONVERSION. WE'RE
REALLY BUILDING UP TO
00:26:24.55\00:26:27.75
SOMETHING POWERFUL THAT I
BELIEVE IS A MESSAGE FOR TODAY.
00:26:27.75\00:26:30.85
LET'S GO TO ACTS CHAPTER 9 AND
WE'LL BEGIN READING IN VERSE 1
00:26:30.85\00:26:34.42
AND WE KNOW PAUL
WAS A PERSECUTOR.
00:26:34.42\00:26:36.66
IN FACT HE TELLS US I BELIEVE
IT'S IN THE BOOK OF FIRST OR
00:26:36.66\00:26:41.06
SECOND TIMOTHY.
IDENTIFIES HIMSELF AS A BLAST
00:26:41.06\00:26:50.27
TPA MBLASPHEMER AND PERSECUTOR.
HE SAID HE WENT TO THE HIGH
00:26:50.27\00:27:12.86
PRIEST AND ASKED LETTERS
FROM HIM TO THE SYNAGOGUES OF
00:27:12.86\00:27:19.13
DAMASCUS SO IF HE FOUND
ANY OF THE WAY, SPEAKING OF THE
00:27:19.13\00:27:21.87
CHRISTIAN WAY, WHETHER MEN OR
WOMEN, HE MIGHT BRING THEM DOWN
00:27:21.87\00:27:26.04
TO JERUSALEM. VERSE
3, AS HE JOURNEYED AND
00:27:26.04\00:27:32.88
SUDDENLY A LIGHT SHONE AROUND
HIM AND THEN HE FELL TO THE
00:27:32.88\00:27:35.58
GROUND AND HE HEARD A VOICE
SAY, SAUL, SAUL, WHY ARE YOU
00:27:35.58\00:27:40.02
PERSECUTING ME AND HE SAID WHERE
ARE YOU OR WHO YOU ARE, LORD?
00:27:40.02\00:27:44.09
IT'S FUNNY THAT YOU
DON'T KNOW WHO THIS IS.
00:27:44.09\00:27:46.63
BUT BY HEARING THE VOICE HE
AUTOMATICALLY ASSUMES DIVINITY
00:27:46.63\00:27:51.33
AND KNOWS, WAIT A
SECOND, WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME.
00:27:51.33\00:27:54.70
I CAN JUST IMAGINE THIS IS VERY
HAPPENING IN QUICK SUCCESSION
00:27:54.70\00:27:58.44
BUT HIS FIRST
RESPONSE IS WHO ARE YOU LORD?
00:27:58.44\00:28:01.94
NOT WHO IS THIS SPEAKING TO
ME. HE KNEW IMMEDIATELY IT WAS
00:28:01.94\00:28:12.42
DIVINITY. ANYONE THE
LORD SAID TO HIM I AM
00:28:12.42\00:28:15.82
JESUS WHOM YOUR PERSECUTING.
HE SAID IT WOULD BE LIKE ME
00:28:15.82\00:28:48.66
DRIVING DOWN 149 AND JUST
DRIVING AND HAVING A NICE DAY
00:28:48.66\00:28:51.73
AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY I
FIND MYSELF SWERVING AND ON THE
00:28:51.73\00:28:57.27
SIDE OF THE ROAD AND I CAN'T SEE
ANYTHING AND YOU HEAR THIS VOICE
00:28:57.27\00:28:59.37
THAT COMES OUT OF NOWHERE THAT
SAYS, RYAN, RYAN, WHY ARE YOU%
00:28:59.37\00:29:03.74
KAOULTING ME? AND
THEN YOU SAY, I'M SORRY.
00:29:03.74\00:29:06.68
WHO ARE YOU? AND
THE RESPONSE YOU GET IS,
00:29:06.68\00:29:13.62
IT'S THE POPE.
>> I SEE YOUR POINT.
00:29:13.62\00:29:18.09
>> THERE IS
ALWAYS A DELAY THERE.
00:29:18.09\00:29:24.19
THAT WOULD BE ESSENTIAL.
WE'RE NOT ANTI-CATHOLICS BUT WE
00:29:24.19\00:29:28.40
BELIEVE THAT POWER IS
IS AN ANTICHRIST POWER.
00:29:28.40\00:29:33.13
PAUL WAS FULLY CONVINCED
THAT JESUS WAS THE ENEMY AND
00:29:33.13\00:29:36.97
CHRISTIANS WERE THE ENEMY OF GOD
AND TO HAVE THIS EXPERIENCE TO
00:29:36.97\00:29:39.71
HEAR IT'S ME JESUS YOU CAN
IMAGINE HIS WHOLE WORLD WAS
00:29:39.71\00:29:43.61
TURNED UPSIDE TOWN BUT YOU
SEE THE SINCERITY OF PAUL IN HIS
00:29:43.61\00:29:48.48
RESPONSE. LORD, WHAT
DO YOU WANT ME TO DO.
00:29:48.48\00:29:55.22
IT WASN'T YOU'RE AN
ENEMY. IT CHANGED HIS LIFE.
00:29:55.22\00:29:57.79
REST OF THE STORY GOES ON AND EZ
GOES TO DID HE  DID HE MASS CAS
00:29:57.79\00:30:08.90
AND HE WENT HIS WAY AND LAYING
HANDS ON HIM SAID BROTHER SAUL
00:30:08.90\00:30:12.87
THE LORD JESUS WHO APPEARED TO
YOU ON THE ROAD HAS SENT ME THAT
00:30:12.87\00:30:16.41
YOU MAY RECEIVE YOUR SITE AND
BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:30:16.41\00:30:20.02
YOU CAN IMAGINE ALL IS HAPPENING
IN A VERY QUICK TIME AND
00:30:20.02\00:30:24.22
IMMEDIATELY THAT IF HE WILL
FROM HIS EYES WAS SCALES AND HE
00:30:24.22\00:30:27.89
RECEIVED HIS SIGHT AT ONCE
AND AROSE AND WAS BAPTIZED.
00:30:27.89\00:30:36.80
WHEN HE WAS STRENGTHENED
AND SAUL SPENT DAYS WITH THE
00:30:36.80\00:30:40.57
DISCIPLES IN DID HE MASS CUSS.
BUT HE PREACHED CHRIST THAT HE
00:30:40.57\00:30:53.68
IS THE SON OF GOD. HE
PRESSED FORWARD ALL THE WAY.
00:30:53.68\00:31:24.98
AS WE'RE LEARNING IN TRUTH
SOMETIMES -- YEAH, I REGULAR
00:31:24.98\00:31:27.28
THAT SOME OF US NEED
MORE TIME THAN OTHERS.
00:31:27.28\00:31:29.55
THAT'S A GOOD POINT TO MAKE.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME SOME OF US
00:31:29.55\00:31:34.16
OVERTHINK OUR FAITH TO THE POINT
OR OVERTHINK THE TRUTH THAT HAS
00:31:34.16\00:31:37.13
BEEN GIVEN TO US TO THE POINT
THAT WE TALK OURSELVES OUT OF
00:31:37.13\00:31:40.36
BEING FAITHFUL TO TWOED NOW
IMMEDIATELY WHEN GOD HAS CALLED
00:31:40.36\00:31:45.43
US. I THINK OF
ACTS CHAPTER 28:21.
00:31:45.43\00:31:49.20
THIS WAS TOWARD THE BEGINNING OF
PAUL'S -- ACTUALLY THIS WAS AT
00:31:49.20\00:31:53.98
THE END. THIS WAS
AT THE END OF PAUL'S
00:31:53.98\00:31:57.15
WORK. TOWARD THE
END OF ONE OF HIS
00:31:57.15\00:31:59.95
MISSIONARY JOURNEYS. HE
SAID PAUL DWELLED TWO YEARS
00:31:59.95\00:32:05.85
IN HIS OWN AND RENNED HOUSE
AND RECEIVED ALL WHO CAME TO HIM
00:32:05.85\00:32:09.39
PRAEFPING THE KINGDOM OF
GOD AND TEACHING THE THINGS THAT
00:32:09.39\00:32:12.56
CONCERNED THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
WITH ALL CONFIDENCE NO ONE
00:32:12.56\00:32:16.60
FORBIDDING HIM. SO
YOU CAN SEE THE UNWAVERING
00:32:16.60\00:32:23.74
FAITH OF PAUL. HE
SAID I DEPARTMENT THE FAITH
00:32:23.74\00:32:41.52
AND FINALLY THERE IS A CROWN OF
RIGHTEOUSNESS AND YOU CAN JUST
00:32:41.52\00:32:45.43
SEE. THIS IS
KIND OF FAITH I WANT.
00:32:45.43\00:32:49.26
RIGHT. TO
CONSIDER WHAT PAUL WENT
00:32:49.26\00:32:58.94
THROUGH. I'M REFERENCING SECOND
00:32:58.94\00:33:03.01
CORINTHIANS
CHAPTER 11 VERSUS 23-27.
00:33:03.01\00:33:05.78
I WANT TO
REFERENCE A COUPLE OF THINGS.
00:33:05.78\00:33:07.92
NOTICE WHAT HE WENT
THROUGH. STARTING WITH VERSE 24.
00:33:07.92\00:33:13.19
THE BUT I'M GOING TO START WITH
VERSE 24 HE SAYS, FROM THE JEWS
00:33:13.19\00:33:18.13
5 TIMES I RECEIVED
40 STRIPES MINUS 1.
00:33:18.13\00:33:20.43
MANY OF US WOULD HAVE GOT
WHIPPED THE FIRST TIME AND SAID
00:33:20.43\00:33:23.63
THAT FORGET THIS.
THIS ISN'T FOR ME.
00:33:23.63\00:33:26.13
THIS IS WHAT GOD HAS
CALLED ME TO BE THIS ISN'T ME.
00:33:26.13\00:33:29.34
THIS GUY WENT
THROUGH THIS 5 TIMES.
00:33:29.34\00:33:31.44
BUT HE DOESN'T STOP THERE.
THREE TIMES WAS BEATEN WITH
00:33:31.44\00:33:36.38
RODS. ONE TIME HE WAS STONED.
00:33:36.38\00:33:38.61
WHEN THEY STONE YOU THEY'RE NOT
STONING YOU SO YOU CONTINUE TO
00:33:38.61\00:33:41.75
LIVE. THIS
BROTHER WAS BEING STONED
00:33:41.75\00:33:43.15
BECAUSE THEY WERE TRYING TO KILL
HIM BUT HE LIVED THROUGH IT BY
00:33:43.15\00:33:48.66
THE GRACE OF GOD.
THREE TIMES SHIPWRECKED.
00:33:48.66\00:33:51.83
WHAT WAS AMAZING TO
ME, THIS INTO VERSE 28.
00:33:51.83\00:33:56.43
HE TALKS ABOUT ALL THESE PERILS
IN THE WILDERNESS AND THE SEA
00:33:56.43\00:34:01.27
AND IN PERILS AMONG ALL BRETHREN
IN OTHER WORDS HE WAS PERSECUTED
00:34:01.27\00:34:05.41
BY PEOPLE WHO WERE CLAIMING
TO FOLLOW JESUS, CLAIMING TO BE
00:34:05.41\00:34:09.18
CHRISTIANS BUT YOU KNOW WHAT,
HE FELL INTO PERIL AND WHO KNOWS
00:34:09.18\00:34:12.15
WHAT KIND OF
WRONG WAS DONE TO HIM.
00:34:12.15\00:34:14.08
BUT HE WENT THROUGH
THE MECCA OF PERSECUTION.
00:34:14.08\00:34:17.45
AND IT'S JUST A POWERFUL TO
SEE THAT THROUGH ALL OF THIS, HE
00:34:17.45\00:34:20.46
STILL SAID I'M PRESSING FORWARD.
I'M PRESSING FORWARD IN THE
00:34:20.46\00:34:22.92
FAITH. I'M GOING
TO READ THIS LAST
00:34:22.92\00:34:25.33
QUOTE HERE.  THIS COMES FROM
THE GREAT CONTROVERSY PAGE 48.
00:34:25.33\00:34:33.30
MANY OF US DO NOT RECEIVE
PERSECUTION BECAUSE OUR FAITH
00:34:33.30\00:34:36.67
ISN'T WHERE IT NEEDS TO
BE. I'M GOING TO SAY THAT.
00:34:36.67\00:34:40.14
NOTICE THIS GREAT
CONTROVERSY PAGE 38.
00:34:40.14\00:34:42.24
WHY IS IT THEN THE PERSECUTION
SEEMS IN A GREAT DEGREE TO
00:34:42.24\00:34:47.62
SLUMBER. THE ONLY
REASON IS CHURCH HAS
00:34:47.62\00:34:49.72
CON FORMED TO THE
WORLD'S STANDARD AND AWAKENS NO
00:34:49.72\00:34:52.95
OPPOSITION. THE
RELIGION IN OUR DAY IS NOT
00:34:52.95\00:34:54.46
THE PURE AND HOLY CHARACTER THAT
MARKED IT IN THE DAY OF CHRIST
00:34:54.46\00:34:57.99
AND APOSTLES AND GOES ON TO SAY,
IT IS ONLY BECAUSE OF THE SPIRIT
00:34:57.99\00:35:03.33
OF COMPROMISE WITH SIN BECAUSE
OF THE GREAT TRAOUTDZS OF WORD
00:35:03.33\00:35:07.80
OF GOD ARE DIFFERENTLY REGARDED
BECAUSE THERE IS SO LITTLE
00:35:07.80\00:35:11.94
GODLINESS IN THE CHURCH THAT
CHRISTIANITY IS SO POPULAR WITH
00:35:11.94\00:35:14.61
THE WORLD. SHE SAYS,
LET THERE BE A REVIVAL
00:35:14.61\00:35:18.01
OF THE FAITH AND POWER OF THE
EARLY CHURCH AND THE SPIRIT OF
00:35:18.01\00:35:21.68
PERSECUTION WILL BE REVIVED AND
THE FIRES OF PERSECUTION WILL BE
00:35:21.68\00:35:26.45
REKINDLED. BUT I
WANT TO BE LEAD BY THE
00:35:26.45\00:35:28.16
SAME SPIRIT THAT LEAD PAUL.
I WANT TO BE CONVERTED SO MUCH
00:35:28.16\00:35:30.89
IN MY HEART AND MIND THAT
DOESN'T MATTER HOW MANY TIMES
00:35:30.89\00:35:33.56
YOU BEAT AND DOESN'T MATTER
HOW MANY TIMES YOU'RE STONED OR
00:35:33.56\00:35:37.37
SHIPWRECKED. WHATEVER
YOU GO THROUGH IN YOUR
00:35:37.37\00:35:39.57
LIFE, JESUS IS WITH YOU AND
YOU'RE PRESSING FORWARD TORE
00:35:39.57\00:35:42.67
THAT CROWN OF
RIGHTEOUSNESS. >> AMEN.
00:35:42.67\00:35:44.54
I LOVE THAT. THAT'S
A POWERFUL TESTIMONY.
00:35:44.54\00:35:46.98
PAUL HAS A POWERFUL TESTIMONY.
IF YOU'RE JUST NOW JOINING US I
00:35:46.98\00:35:51.31

MEETING GO ONLINE TO THE CHAT
ROOM AND SUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS

00:35:58.05\00:36:00.46
ALSO YOU CAN TEXT THE NUMBER
THAT'S AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR

SCREEN WITH THE QUESTIONS AND
WE'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM.
00:36:02.76\00:36:06.13
I HAVE WEDNESDAY'S LESSON AND
WEDNESDAY'S LESSON IS ENTITLED
00:36:06.13\00:36:09.63
THE DEMANDS OF LOVE. AS I
WAS LOOKING AT THE TIGHT AM
00:36:09.63\00:36:20.31
I WAS CONFUSED BECAUSE
I'M THINKING, I DON'T WANT A
00:36:20.31\00:36:28.12
COMMANDING PERSON.
BUT AS I READ THE LESSON I
00:36:28.12\00:36:34.99
THOUGHT, THIS
TIGHTING IS BRILLIANT.
00:36:34.99\00:36:37.16
WE'LL LOOK AND SEE
WHY. THE DEMANDS OF LOVE.
00:36:37.16\00:36:40.96
I LOVE HOW THE
LESSON STARTS OUT.
00:36:40.96\00:36:43.57
LOVE ALWAYS
MANIFESTS ITSELF IN ACTION.
00:36:43.57\00:36:50.17
WE SEE THAT ALL
THROUGHOUT THE WORD OF GOD.
00:36:50.17\00:36:52.41
BUT THEN IT PROCEEDS TO SAY, OUR
LOVE FOR CHRIST COMPELS US TO DO
00:36:52.41\00:36:58.31
SOMETHING FOR LOST HUMANITY.
THINK ABOUT THAT AS WELL.
00:36:58.31\00:37:01.38
OUR LOVE FOR CHRIST COMPELS
US TO TO SOMETHING FOR LOST
00:37:01.38\00:37:04.75
HUMANITY. I WANT
TO TAKE MOMENT TO JUST
00:37:04.75\00:37:07.79
KIND OF BRING ABOUT THAT
QUESTION IN OUR MINDS, WHAT HAVE
00:37:07.79\00:37:12.16
WE DONE. WHAT HAS
OUR LOVE FOR CHRIST
00:37:12.16\00:37:15.06
COMPELLED US TO DO
FOR LOST HUMANITY LATELY.
00:37:15.06\00:37:37.35
LET'S LOOK AT MATTHEW CHAPTER 25
C1 ONE WAY THAT WE SHOW OUR LOVE
00:37:37.35\00:38:41.98
IS BY MEETING THE NEEDS
OF OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS.
00:38:41.98\00:38:45.55
BY DOING SO, WE'RE
SHOWING OUR LOVE FOR CHRIST.
00:38:45.55\00:38:49.52
NOW, GET THIS THOUGH. AS
LONG AS WE HAVE THE RIGHT
00:38:49.52\00:38:52.36
MOTIVES -- BECAUSE YOU CAN DO
A GOOD BUT IF YOU DO IT FOR THE
00:38:52.36\00:38:56.70
WRONG REASON, IT'S NOT SO GOOD.
NOW ANOTHER WAY THAT WE CAN SHOW
00:38:56.70\00:39:02.57
OUR LOVE IS BY
FORGIVENESS AND RESTORATION.
00:39:02.57\00:39:06.68
AND SO WE'LL JOURNEY DEEPER INTO
THE LESSON AND WE'LL LEARN ABOUT
00:39:06.68\00:39:10.81
A POWERFUL EXAMPLE OF THIS
FORGIVENESS AND RESTORATION.
00:39:10.81\00:39:15.68
IF YOU REMEMBER PETE ERR WAS --
WELL, CHRIST TOLD PETER THAT HE
00:39:15.68\00:39:21.36
WAS GOING TO DENY CHRIST 3 TIMES
AND PETER DENIED THE FACT THAT
00:39:21.36\00:39:25.19
HE WAS GOING TO
DENY CHRIST THREE TIMES.
00:39:25.19\00:39:55.46
SO WHEN THEY HAD EATEN BREAKFAST
JESUS SAID TO SIMON PETER,ING
00:39:55.46\00:40:01.56
SIMON SON OF JONAH,
DOYOU LOVE ME MORE THAN THESE.
00:40:01.56\00:40:04.80
HE SAID YOU
KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU.
00:40:04.80\00:40:07.80
HE SAID TO HIM, FEED MY LAMB.
HE SAID TO HIM AGAIN, A SECOND
00:40:07.80\00:40:11.81
TIME, SIMON SON OF
JONAH DO YOU LOVE ME.
00:40:11.81\00:40:14.51
HE SAID TO HIM, YES,
LORD, YOU KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU.
00:40:14.51\00:40:18.85
HE SAID TO HIM, TEND MY SHEEP.
HE SAID TO HIM THE THIRD TIME,
00:40:18.85\00:40:23.79
SIMON SON OF
JONAH, DO YOU LOVE ME?
00:40:23.79\00:40:29.22
PETER WAS GRIEVED BECAUSE HE
SAID SAID HIM THE THIRD TIME, DO
00:40:29.22\00:40:30.93
YOU LOVE ME. YOU NO I
IMAGINE IN MY MIND THAT
00:40:30.93\00:40:34.56
PETER IS PROBABLY HAVING LIKE
FLASHBACKS LIKE OH MAN I DENIED
00:40:34.56\00:40:40.04
HIM THREE TIMES AND THEN HE JUST
ASKED DO YOU LOE ME THREE TIMES
00:40:40.04\00:40:44.54
AND YOU KNOW, I CAN ONLY
IMAGINE THAT FEELING OF GUILT.
00:40:44.54\00:40:50.21
BUT CHRIST IS DOING SUCH A
BEAUTIFUL THING HERE.  AND GOING
00:40:50.21\00:40:55.82
BACK TO VERSE 17 AND H SAID TO
HIM, LORD, YOU KNOW ALL THINGS
00:40:55.82\00:40:59.29
YOU KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU.
JESUS SAID TO HIM, FEED MY
00:40:59.29\00:41:04.76
SHEEP. MOST
ASSUREDLY I SAID TO YOU,
00:41:04.76\00:41:10.17
YOU WALKED WHERE YOU WISH BUT
WHEN YOU ARE OLD YOU'LL STRETCH
00:41:10.17\00:41:13.40
OUT YOUR HANDS AND ANOTHER WILL
GUIDE YOU AND CARE REQUIRE YOU
00:41:13.40\00:41:15.77
WHERE YOU DO NOT WISH.
THIS HE SPOKE SIGNIFYING BY WHAT
00:41:15.77\00:41:22.11
DEATH HE WOULD GLORIFY
GOD. HE SAID FOLLOW ME.
00:41:22.11\00:41:30.49
THE ULTIMATE DISPLAY OF LOVE
CAN BE FOUND IN ROMANS CHAPTER 5
00:41:30.49\00:41:36.02
VERSUS 6-HEAT.
ROMANS CHAPTER 5 VERSUS 6-8.
00:41:36.02\00:41:41.13
IN FACT I WANT TO GO 6-10.
LET'S DO ROMAN CHAPTER 5 VERSUS
00:41:41.13\00:41:49.74
6-10. FOR WHEN
WE ARE STILL WITHOUT
00:41:49.74\00:41:53.94
STRENGTH CHRIST DIED FOR THE
UN-GODLY AND FOR OUR RIGHTEOUS
00:41:53.94\00:41:58.31
MAN WILL ONE DIE YET PERHAPS FOR
A GOOD MAN SOMEONE WOULD EVEN
00:41:58.31\00:42:02.22
DARE TO TIE. BUT
GOD DEMONSTRATES HIS OWN
00:42:02.22\00:42:05.52
LOVE TOWARD US AND WHILE WE WERE
STILL SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR
00:42:05.52\00:42:10.63
US. AND THINK ABOUT THAT.
00:42:10.63\00:42:12.53
WHILE WE WERE STILL
SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US.
00:42:12.53\00:42:14.93
WHEN WE WERE MAKING MISTAKES,
WHEN WE TURNED OUR BACK ON GOD,
00:42:14.93\00:42:20.77
HE STILL DIED FOR OUR SINS.
HE DIED FOR THE VERY PEOPLE WHO
00:42:20.77\00:42:24.57
WERE PERSECUTING HIM.
CONTINUING ON IN VERSE 9.
00:42:24.57\00:42:28.11
MUCH MORE THAN HAVING NOW THAN
JUST IDENTIFIED BY HIS BLOOD, WE
00:42:28.11\00:42:34.48
SHALL BE SAVED
THROUGH WRATH THROUGH HIM.
00:42:34.48\00:42:35.85
IF FOR WHEN WE WERE ENEMIES, WE
WERE RECONCILED TO GOD THROUGH
00:42:35.85\00:42:41.02
THE DEATH OF HIS SON MUCH MORE
HAVING BEEN RECONCILED WE SHALL
00:42:41.02\00:42:48.70
BE SAVED BY HIS LIFE.
THE INTERESTING THING IS THAT
00:42:48.70\00:43:13.72
YOU KNOW, WE LOVE CHRIST
BECAUSE HE FIRST LOVED US.
00:43:13.72\00:44:03.04
WE ARE GETTING TO KNOW DETERMINE
WHAT THEIR NEEDS ARE AND MEET
00:44:03.04\00:44:07.44
THEIR NEEDS. WHAT IS
THIS LOVE COMPELLING US
00:44:07.44\00:44:09.98
TO DO. BECAUSE
IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO BE A
00:44:09.98\00:44:14.32
CHRISTIAN IN NAME ONLY.
BECAUSE THAT LACKS POWER.
00:44:14.32\00:44:17.15
OUR POWER COMES FROM GOD. WE
NEED TO CARRY OUT THE MISSION
00:44:17.15\00:44:26.70
THAT GOD HAS GIVEN US.
HIS LOVE THAT BESTOWS UPON US
00:44:26.70\00:44:30.83
WILL MANIFEST
ITSELF IN OUR ACTIONS.
00:44:30.83\00:44:32.57
WE HAVE TO SHOW
IT IN OUR ACTIONS.
00:44:32.57\00:44:35.04
SO I LOVE THAT MATTHEW CHAPTER
25 WHEN I WAS HUNGRY YOU FED ME.
00:44:35.04\00:44:40.64
AND WE ALL KNOW I LIKE FOOD
SO I PARTICULARLY HAVE A DEEP
00:44:40.64\00:44:47.75
APPRECIATION FOR
THAT PASSAGE AS WELL.
00:44:47.75\00:44:52.69
IT'S SO IMPORTANT BECAUSE I
THINK SOMETIMES WE CAN TEND TO
00:44:52.69\00:44:56.59
JUST SAY I'LL PRAY FOR YOU.
YOU SEE SOMEBODY OUT THERE THAT
00:44:56.59\00:45:04.80
ARE HUNGRY AND YOU SAY I PRAY
FOR YOU MEANWHILE YOU'RE EATING
00:45:04.80\00:45:11.44
YOUR 5 COURSE OR YOU SEE
SOMEBODY COLD WITH NO COAT AND
00:45:11.44\00:45:15.44
YOU HAVE SEVERAL IN YOUR CLOSET
AND YOU PRAY THAT THEY'LL WARM
00:45:15.44\00:45:19.01
UP. WHERE IS THE ACTION?
00:45:19.01\00:45:20.98
PERHAPS YOU NEED
FORGIVENESS OR RESTORATION.
00:45:20.98\00:45:23.89
MAYBE YOU WRONGED SOMEBODY OR
DONE SOMETHING THAT HAS WRONGED
00:45:23.89\00:45:26.99
CHRIST. TIME TO
GO TO HIM AND ASK HIM
00:45:26.99\00:45:29.96
FOR FORGIVENESS.
TAKE IT IN FAITH.
00:45:29.96\00:45:32.86
AND LET HIS LOVE COMPEL YOU.
YOUR LOVE FOR HIM COMPEL YOU TO
00:45:32.86\00:45:38.40
ACT AND TO SHOW
THAT TO THE WORLD.
00:45:38.40\00:45:41.94
>> AMEN. THANK YOU, JAY.
00:45:41.94\00:45:43.57
I LOVE THIS LESSON.
IT'S AN INCREDIBLE LESSON.
00:45:43.57\00:45:47.21
I KNOW THE TITLE BUT TO ME IT'S
ALL ABOUT COMMITMENT I LOVE THE
00:45:47.21\00:46:02.42
COMMITMENT. ON
THURSDAY IT'S ABOUT
00:46:02.42\00:46:07.20
COMMITMENT AGAIN BEFORE WE
UNPACK THIS LESSON, I WANT TO
00:46:07.20\00:46:11.87
REMIND YOU THAT THE NEXT HALF
HOUR WE'LL BE LIVE WITH YOUR
00:46:11.87\00:46:22.51
QUESTIONS PERTAINING TO ANYTHING
WE DISCUSSED HERE TODAY OR
00:46:22.51\00:46:26.48
ALWAYS TEXT US THE NUMBER IS
RIGHT THERE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE
00:46:26.48\00:46:33.22
SCREEN WE HOPE WE GET AS MANY OF
THOSE IN THE NEXT HALF HOUR AND
00:46:33.22\00:46:39.26
WE LOVE TO ANSWER
THEM. SO LOVES COMMITMENT IS
00:46:39.26\00:46:43.30
THURSDAY'S LESSON. IF
YOU KNEW WHAT THE FUTURE
00:46:43.30\00:46:47.04
HELD, WOULD YOU MAKE
THE SAME DECISIONS TODAY?
00:46:47.04\00:46:50.91
IF YOU KNEW YOUR SPOUSE WOULD
GET CANCER AND DIE, WOULD YOU
00:46:50.91\00:46:54.11
STILL MARRY THEM. IF YOU
KNEW YOUR FRIEND WOULD WE
00:46:54.11\00:46:57.68
TRAY YOU WOULD YOU
TRUST THEM IN YOUR HEART.
00:46:57.68\00:47:00.12
IF YOU KNEW YOUR CHILDREN WOULD
WALK AWAY FROM GOD, WOULD YOU
00:47:00.12\00:47:04.52
STILL HAVE THEM? IF YOU
KNEW YOU WOULD LOSE YOUR
00:47:04.52\00:47:08.29
JOB WOULD YOU
STILL GIVE IT YOUR ALL?
00:47:08.29\00:47:10.79
IF YOU KNEW YOU WOULD HAVE AN
ACCIDENT, WOULD YOU STILL GO ON
00:47:10.79\00:47:14.66
THAT TRIP? IF YOU
KNEW SOMEONE WOULD ACCEPT
00:47:14.66\00:47:18.57
JESUS, WOULD
YOU WITNESS TO THEM?
00:47:18.57\00:47:20.14
IF YOU YOU KNEW YOUR SERVICE AS
A MISSIONARY WOULD END UP IN YOU
00:47:20.14\00:47:25.27
BEING KILLED, WOULD
YOU STILL GO ANYWAY?
00:47:25.27\00:47:28.54
IF YOU KNEW WHAT THE FUTURE
WOULD HOLD WOULD YOU STILL MAKE
00:47:28.54\00:47:32.81
THOSE SAME DECISIONS TODAY?
LOVE COMMITMENT KNOWING THAT THE
00:47:32.81\00:48:21.00
FAIR HAD GIVEN ALL THINGS IN HIS
HANDS AND HE COME FROM TWOED AND
00:48:21.00\00:48:23.77
GOING TO GOD. TOOK A
TOWEL AND GERDED HIMSELF.
00:48:23.77\00:48:31.27
JOHN COULD HAVE SIMPLY SAID
JESUS ROSE FROM SUPPER AND TOOK
00:48:31.27\00:48:34.31
THE TOWEL AND
BEGAN TO WASH THE FEET.
00:48:34.31\00:48:38.65
BUT BEFORE THAT
HE'S VERY SPECIFIC.
00:48:38.65\00:49:14.72
WITH WITH THAT
KNOWLEDGE HE WOULD BECOME A MAN.
00:49:14.72\00:49:21.06
GOD IN FLESH.
ANOTHER WILL GERD YOU MEANING
00:49:21.06\00:49:51.45
HE'S GOING TO BE BOUND AS A
CRIMINAL WE KNOW THAT PETER WAS
00:49:51.45\00:49:57.59
CRUCIFIED. THAT'S
HOW HIS LIFE WAS ENDED.
00:49:57.59\00:49:59.93
AND THEY'LL KEURRY
YOU WHERE YOU DO NOT WISH.
00:49:59.93\00:50:06.00
WHEN HE SPOKEN
THIS HE SAYS FOLLOW ME.
00:50:06.00\00:50:07.54
WHEN I READ THAT PASSAGE, IN
OTHER WORDS, I SEE JESUS IS NOT
00:50:07.54\00:50:12.81
SAYING, OKAY, PETER FOLLOW ME
AND I WANT YOU TO SERVE ME AND
00:50:12.81\00:50:16.58
ALL THESE INCREDIBLE
THINGS WILL WE HAPPEN.
00:50:16.58\00:50:18.48
HE'S SAYING, FOLLOW
ME. YOU'RE GONNA DIE.
00:50:18.48\00:50:22.42
DO YOU STILL WANT TO FOLLOW
ME. PETER MADE A CHOICE TO SERVE
00:50:22.42\00:50:39.30
JESUS. HE OFFERED
HIM LIFE'S GREATEST
00:50:39.30\00:50:44.34
JOY. PETER WOULD EXPERIENCE
00:50:44.34\00:50:46.41
PENTECOST, ACTS CHAPTER 2.
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ACCEPTING
00:50:46.41\00:50:49.01
THE GOSPEL MESSAGE. HE
WOULD EXPERIENCE MIRACLES AND
00:50:49.01\00:50:52.98
THE DEAD WOULD COME TO LIFE AND
LAYMEN WOULD WALK AGAIN AND SEE
00:50:52.98\00:50:56.52
THE CONVERSION OF THE GENTILES.
I'M THINKING OF CORNELIUS.
00:50:56.52\00:51:03.32
BUT WITH THAT
PRIVILEGE CAME A PRICE.
00:51:03.32\00:51:06.29
IT WOULD DEMAND A SAOBG
FILES, THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE.
00:51:06.29\00:51:10.80
PETER WAS ASKED TO MAKE THAT
COMMITMENT WITH HIS EYES WIDE
00:51:10.80\00:51:14.10
OPEN. FOR PETER NOW KNEW THAT NO
00:51:14.10\00:51:20.18
SACRIFICE WAS TOO GREAT.
IF WE ARE WILLING TO DO THAT,
00:51:20.18\00:51:40.76
ARE WE WILLING DO
THAT WITH EYES WIDE OPEN?
00:51:40.76\00:51:45.50
KNOWING THAT WITH THIS DECISION
WITH THIS COMMITMENT COMES A
00:51:45.50\00:51:50.11
COST. LET'S LOOK AT THE 6TH
00:51:50.11\00:51:51.77
COMMITMENTS THAT WE MAKE HERE.
NUMBER ONE, DECIDE TO FOLLOW
00:51:51.77\00:51:59.35
JESUS. JOSHUA 24:15.
00:51:59.35\00:52:00.72
THAT HE AT FIRST
COMMITMENT ANYONE NEEDS TO MAKE.
00:52:00.72\00:52:03.32
JUST A SIMPLE
DECISION TO FOLLOW JESUS.
00:52:03.32\00:52:07.89
IF IT SEEMS EVIL TO YOU, CHOOSE
THIS DAY WHO YOU WILL SERVE.
00:52:07.89\00:52:14.96
YOUR GODS THAT YOUR FATHER
SERVED O THE GODS OF THE AMOR
00:52:14.96\00:52:46.26
AMORITE. BE WILLING
TO FOLLOW SKRAOE SUS
00:52:46.26\00:52:49.30
COME WHAT MAY.
THAT'S A SERIOUS COMMITMENT.
00:52:49.30\00:52:51.80
IT'S EASY TO SAY I'LL FOLLOW
YOU WHEN LIFE IS PLEASANT.
00:52:51.80\00:52:57.74
BUT ARE YOU WILLING TO
FOLLOW JESUS NO MATTER WHAT.
00:52:57.74\00:53:08.18
WITH CAN HIS DISCIPLES HE SAID
WHOEVER DESIRES TO COME AFTER ME
00:53:08.18\00:53:12.15
LET HIM DENY HIMSELF. TAKE
UP HIS CROSS AND FOLLOW ME.
00:53:12.15\00:53:16.76
COMMITMENT NUMBER 4,
BE WILLING TO LOVE OTHERS.
00:53:16.76\00:53:22.86
PSALM 13:35. BUT
THIS ALL WILL KNOW THAT
00:53:22.86\00:53:26.37
YOU'RE MY DISCIPLE. IF
YOU HAVE LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER
00:53:26.37\00:53:31.57
BE WILLING TO LOVE OTHERS.
OF COURSE WE DON'T CREATE THAT
00:53:31.57\00:53:35.01
LOVE OURSELVES. WE GO
TO GOD AND HE FILLS US
00:53:35.01\00:53:38.51
WITH HIS LOVE. IT'S
HIS LOVE IN THE FIRST
00:53:38.51\00:53:41.68
PLACE. COMMITMENT
NUMBER 5, BE WILLING
00:53:41.68\00:53:45.55
TO INTERCEDE FOR
OTHERS. EZEKIEL 22 VERSE 30.
00:53:45.55\00:53:50.63
I THOUGHT FOR A MAN AMONG THEM
WHO STANDS IN THE GAP BEFORE ME
00:53:50.63\00:53:56.93
ON BEHALF THE LAND THAT I SHOULD
NOT DESTROY IT BUT I FOUND
00:53:56.93\00:54:04.61
NOBODY. GOD IS
STANDING FOR YOU TO STAND
00:54:04.61\00:54:07.18
IN THE GAP FOR YOUR
BROTHERS AND SISTERS.
00:54:07.18\00:54:10.95
ANSWER THE CALL.
THAT'S COMMITMENT NUMBER 5.
00:54:10.95\00:54:14.95
COMMITMENT NUMBER 6.
NEVER BE ASHAMED OF CHRIST.
00:54:14.95\00:54:20.02
HIS WORD OR HIS
PEOPLE ROMANS 1:16.
00:54:20.02\00:54:24.99
I'M NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL
OF CHRIST FOR IT IS THE POWER OF
00:54:24.99\00:54:32.30
GOD TO EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES
HE WROTE IN HIS JOURNAL, I AM SO
00:54:32.30\00:55:02.60
THANKFUL THAT I CAN
STILL SERVE JESUS ONE MORE DAY.
00:55:02.60\00:55:09.00
AT THE TIME OF HIS DEATH
THEY SAY THAT 25,000 CONVERTS TO
00:55:09.00\00:55:15.18
CHRISTIANITY WERE
TRACED TO HIM AND HIS LEGACY.
00:55:15.18\00:55:18.41
WHY IS THAT? BECAUSE
JAY HUDSON TAILOR-MADE A
00:55:18.41\00:55:22.05
COMMITMENT THAT LOVE COMMITMENT
TO FOLLOW JESUS, TO SERVE HIM NO
00:55:22.05\00:55:27.89
MATTER THE COST. I
THINK TODAY IN MY OWN HEART
00:55:27.89\00:55:31.66
AND LIFE I WANT TO REDEDICATE
MY LIFE TO JESUS AND SAY GOD I'M
00:55:31.66\00:55:36.06
YOURS AND I WANT TO
SERVE YOU COME WHAT MAY.
00:55:36.06\00:55:39.53
THAT IS A COMMITMENT THAT HE'S
CALLING EACH ONE OF US TO MAKE.
00:55:39.53\00:55:42.64
>> AMEN. THANK YOU, JILL.
00:55:42.64\00:55:44.04
THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL.
PHILIPPIANS 2:13 KEPT COMING TO
00:55:44.04\00:55:50.01
MY MIND THIS WHOLE
IDEA OF A STEP OF FAITH.
00:55:50.01\00:55:53.48
HE SAYS, GOD WORKS AND PUTS THAT
DESIRE IN OUR HEART BUT IT'S
00:55:53.48\00:55:57.62
WHEN WE TAKE A STEP OF FAITH,
THAT GOD WILL WORK IN US TO DO.
00:55:57.62\00:56:03.09
BECAUSE WHEN WE STEP OUT AND
SAY, THE HOLY SPIRIT SHOWS UP.
00:56:03.09\00:56:07.66
WHY DON'T AOEFPB ONE OF YOU TAKE
A FEW SECONDS AND LEAVE US WITH
00:56:07.66\00:56:12.17
A FINAL THOUGHT. >> I'M
GOING TO MATTHEW CHAPTER
00:56:12.17\00:56:17.61
9:37-38. THEN HE
SAID TO HIS DISCIPLES
00:56:17.61\00:56:20.94
THE HARVEST IS PLENTIFUL
BUT THE LABORERS ARE FEW.
00:56:20.94\00:56:25.65
THEREFORE TO SEND OUT
LABORS INTO HIS HARVEST.
00:56:25.65\00:56:28.38
>> AMEN. >> JESUS
US CALLING FOR LABORS
00:56:28.38\00:56:32.02
TO GO INTO HIS HARVEST.
WILL YOU ACCEPT THAT CALL?
00:56:32.02\00:56:34.99
>> ABSOLUTELY. I'M
REMINDED THAT LET THERE BE A
00:56:34.99\00:56:38.79
REVIVAL OF THE FAITH AND
POWER OF THE EARLY CHURCH.
00:56:38.79\00:56:41.93
YOU KNOW, I JUST WANT TO
ENCOURAGE YOU MY FRIENDS, THAT
00:56:41.93\00:56:44.87
SAME SPIRIT THAT INSPIRED PAUL
AND PETER AND DISCIPLES CAN BE
00:56:44.87\00:56:51.17
OURS TODAY. >> TIME
IS SHORT AND OUR LOVE
00:56:51.17\00:56:54.68
FOR CHRIST COMPELS US TO DO
SOMETHING FOR LOST HUMANITY.
00:56:54.68\00:56:57.58
IN THIS SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME, WE
HAVE TO FIGURE OUT EXACTLY HOW
00:56:57.58\00:57:02.25
TO BEST REACH PEOPLE. GET
OUT THERE AND DO SOMETHING
00:57:02.25\00:57:04.45
FOR CHRIST. >> AMEN.
00:57:04.45\00:57:05.99
WE ALL HAVE A CALL ON OUR LIVES
AND COMMITMENT TO MAKE TO MAKE A
00:57:05.99\00:57:12.79
CHOICE. >> AMAZING STUDY.
00:57:12.79\00:57:16.36
MY FINAL THOUGHT WOULD BE
THE SELF-SACRIFICING LOVE OF GOD
00:57:16.36\00:57:19.83
THAT HE WOULD COME DOWN AND
BECOME A MAN, DIE FOR US TO TAKE
00:57:19.83\00:57:27.14
IT AND HE TOOK THAT BACK TO
HEAVEN WITH HIM AND HE IS THE
00:57:27.14\00:57:31.08
PERFECT MAN -- HUMAN
REPRESENTATIVE AT THE THRONE OF
00:57:31.08\00:57:35.58
GOD. PLEASE
STAY TUNED BECAUSE WE
00:57:35.58\00:57:37.82
HAVE GOT QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS COMING UP LIVE.
00:57:37.82\00:57:41.56
WE HOPE THAT YOU
ALREADY TEXTED THEM IN.
00:57:41.56\00:57:46.70
