>>BILL: THE BLESSEDNESS THE LORD
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.96
OFFERS IN MATTHEW
5:3-12 CAN BE KNOWN ONLY BY
00:00:02.96\00:00:03.90
BECOMING A PART OF HIS
KINGDOM. CHRIST'S WORDS
00:00:03.90\00:00:10.63
EXPRESS THE CONDITIONS
FOR ENTERING HIS KINGDOM AND
00:00:10.63\00:00:15.90
THE ONGOING
CHARACTERISTICS OF THOSE
00:00:15.90\00:00:16.83
WHO DWELL IN IT: YOU
MUST BE POOR IN SPIRIT, MOURN
00:00:16.83\00:00:22.10
OVER YOUR SIN, AND BE
MEEK. TO ENTER THE KINGDOM
00:00:22.10\00:00:28.13
YOU MUST ALSO
HUNGER AND THIRST AFTER R I
00:00:28.13\00:00:29.03
GHTEOUSNESS--PERPETUAL
APPETITES THAT ARE FOUND
00:00:29.03\00:00:35.93
IN EVERY KINGDOM CITIZEN.
00:00:35.93\00:00:36.43
MATTHEW 5:6 SAYS,
00:00:36.43\00:00:43.56
THAT BEATITUDE
SPEAKS OF STRONG DESIRE AND
00:00:55.46\00:00:56.40
AMBITION. THERE ARE MANY
THINGS PEOPLE STRIVE FOR.
00:00:56.40\00:00:58.43
JUST AS FOOD AND WATER
ARE PHYSICAL NECESSITIES,
00:00:58.43\00:01:02.50
RIGHTEOUSNESS IS A
SPIRITUAL NECESSITY. IT
00:01:02.50\00:01:03.43
ISN'T WRONG TO HUNGER
OR THIRST PHYSICALLY--THOSE
00:01:03.43\00:01:09.03
ARE NORMAL DESIRES.
00:01:09.03\00:01:09.46
THE SAME IS TRUE IN
THE SPIRITUAL REALM. IN
00:01:09.46\00:01:13.56
MATTHEW 5:6 JESUS IS
SAYING, "ANYONE COMING
00:01:13.56\00:01:17.80
INTO MY KINGDOM HAS
AS GREAT AN APPETITE FOR
00:01:17.80\00:01:18.73
RIGHTEOUSNESS AS HE
DOES FOR FOOD AND WATER."

00:01:40.50\00:01:43.73
STILL RELEVANT IN
TODAY'S COMPLEX WORLD.

00:01:51.00\00:01:55.00
(MUSIC)
00:01:55.46\00:02:06.23
THE PRODIGAL SON THOUGHT
PLEASURE, POSSESSIONS, AND
00:02:07.23\00:02:08.26
POPULARITY WOULD
FULFILL HIS NEEDS. BUT HIS SOUL
00:02:08.26\00:02:12.26
WAS STILL HUNGRY AND HE
FINALLY HAD THE SENSE TO
00:02:12.26\00:02:17.93
SAY TO HIMSELF,
00:02:17.93\00:02:20.46
HE RETURNED TO HIS
FATHER'S HOUSE AND WAS
00:02:28.00\00:02:28.90
GIVEN A FEAST. THE
WORLD'S "FOOD" OF UNCONTROLLED
00:02:28.90\00:02:33.66
LIVING TRIES TO MEET
THE SOUL'S HUNGER WITH THE
00:02:33.66\00:02:38.50
PLEASURES OF SIN BUT
SEND IT AWAY STARVING. THOSE
00:02:38.50\00:02:39.53
WHO RESPOND TO THE
SPIRIT OF GOD COME RUNNING TO

GIVEN A FEAST THAT FILLS THE

HUNGRY SOUL. 1
JOHN 2:15-16 SAYS,
00:02:49.66\00:02:56.66
AS WE STUDY MATTHEW 5:6
WE NEED TO ASK OURSELVES,
00:03:07.00\00:03:08.03
WHAT ARE WE HUNGRY FOR?
DO WE SEEK POWER, PRAISE,
00:03:08.03\00:03:14.53
POSSESSIONS, OR PLEASURE?
00:03:14.53\00:03:15.03
AM WE FEEDING AT THE
REAL SOURCE OF HAPPINESS?
00:03:15.03\00:03:22.33
THE ANSWER YOU GIVE
WILL INDICATE WHETHER OR NOT
00:03:22.33\00:03:27.53
YOU ARE IN CHRIST'S KINGDOM.
00:03:27.53\00:03:31.60
WELL, WE'RE CONTINUING
OUR STUDY OF THE BEATITUDES.

THE HARMONY SEVENTH-DAY

ITALIAN CHURCH. >>PASTOR
FRANK: THAT'S RIGHT. TWO
00:04:04.16\00:04:05.13
CONGREGATIONS; THEY
MEET IN THE SAME PLACE IN THE
00:04:05.13\00:04:08.70
TORONTO AREA. >>BILL:
WHERE ABOUTS DO YOU GUYS
00:04:08.70\00:04:10.90
MEET AND WHEN AND GIVE US
A WEBSITE. >>PASTOR FRANK:
00:04:10.90\00:04:11.96
WE MEET AT THE
WELLSPRING WORSHIP CENTRE. IT'S
00:04:11.96\00:04:14.46

FRANK:.CHURCH.ORG. >>BILL:
00:04:40.53\00:04:41.53
WONDERFUL. WELL,
TONY, WE'RE MAKING OUR WAY
00:04:41.53\00:04:43.36
DOWN THESE - WHAT DID
WE CALL THEM - PARADOXICAL
00:04:43.36\00:04:46.13
STATEMENTS OF JESUS,
RIGHT? >>PASTOR TONY:
00:04:46.13\00:04:47.06
RIGHT. MOST EXCITING
TEACHINGS. >>BILL: THAT'S
00:04:47.06\00:04:50.73
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. VERY
PRACTICAL AND SOME OF THEM
00:04:50.73\00:04:54.83
VERY, VERY INTERESTING.
00:04:54.83\00:04:55.36
WE ARE DOWN TO:
00:04:55.36\00:04:57.46
WHAT'S JESUS TALKING
ABOUT HERE? >>PASTOR TONY: WELL,
00:05:07.76\00:05:08.86
YOU KNOW, AS WE LOOK AT
THIS BEATITUDE WE HAVE TO
00:05:08.86\00:05:11.06
PUT IN PARALLEL THE
RECORD OF LUKE AND THE RECORD OF
00:05:11.06\00:05:18.53
MATTHEW. >>BILL: OKAY.
00:05:18.53\00:05:19.03
>>PASTOR TONY: THE
RECORD OF LUKE SAYS SIMPLY
00:05:19.03\00:05:23.13
"BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO
HUNGER". AND SO IT REFERS
00:05:23.13\00:05:24.13
TO THE PHYSICAL HUNGER.
00:05:24.13\00:05:30.16
MATTHEW EXTRAPELATES OR
EXTENDS THAT TO SPIRITUAL
00:05:30.16\00:05:31.20
HUNGER.>>BILL: OH, I SEE.
00:05:31.20\00:05:39.83
OKAY. >>PASTOR TONY:.AND
THIRST. SO, IN LUKE THERE
00:05:39.83\00:05:40.83
IS NO THIRST, JUST
HUNGER AND IT'S PHYSICAL. IN
00:05:40.83\00:05:43.63
MATTHEW THERE IS
HUNGER AND THIRST AND THEY ARE
00:05:43.63\00:05:46.66
SPIRITUAL FOR
RIGHTEOUSNESS. SO IT'S AN
00:05:46.66\00:05:47.53
INTERESTING DEVELOPMENT
THAT SCHOLARS BELIEVE
00:05:47.53\00:05:53.56
INDICATES THAT THERE WAS
A THEOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT IN
00:05:53.56\00:05:59.00
THE EARLY CHRISTIAN
CHURCH IN THE MINDS OF THE
00:05:59.00\00:06:00.06
GOSPEL WRITERS. A
GREATER UNDERSTANDING OF
00:06:00.06\00:06:05.50
THE REALITY OF
CHRIST'S TEACHING WHICH AT FIRST
00:06:05.50\00:06:11.96
WAS TAKEN ONLY LITERALLY
AND THEN WAS UNDERSTOOD
00:06:11.96\00:06:12.96
ALSO SPIRITUALLY. IT'S
A VERY COMPLETE MESSAGE IN
00:06:12.96\00:06:19.03
JUST A NUTSHELL AS
CHRIST KNEW HOW TO PUT IT.
00:06:19.03\00:06:24.83
>>BILL: THAT'S VERY
INTERESTING. FRANK, WHAT
00:06:24.83\00:06:25.76
ARE WE TO HUNGER
AND THIRST FOR? >>PASTOR
00:06:25.76\00:06:29.50
FRANK: WELL, WHEN YOU
LOOK AT WHAT JESUS ACTUALLY -
00:06:29.50\00:06:35.03
THESE PARADOXICAL
STATEMENTS, AS PASTOR PUT
00:06:35.03\00:06:36.03
IT - HE SAID IT AT A
POINT IN TIME WHEN HE WAS MOST
00:06:36.03\00:06:41.33
POPULAR. AND HE HITS
THEM WITH THESE CHALLENGING
00:06:41.33\00:06:46.13
STATEMENTS. SOME PEOPLE
HAVE CALLED THE SERMON ON
00:06:46.13\00:06:47.16
THE MOUNT THE
SERMON OF OFFENSE.>>PASTOR
00:06:47.16\00:06:49.70
TONY: YES. >>PASTOR
FRANK:.BECAUSE IT GOES
00:06:49.70\00:06:52.76
AGAINST OUR NORMAL WAY
OF DOING THINGS. AND YOU
00:06:52.76\00:06:53.83
MENTIONED BEFORE THAT
MOST PEOPLE, WE HUNGER
00:06:53.83\00:06:56.63
FOR POWER, WE HUNGER FOR
COMFORT, FOR HAPPINESS AND
00:06:56.63\00:07:00.86
HERE JESUS IS
TALKING ABOUT RIGHTEOUSNESS
00:07:00.86\00:07:01.80
HUNGERING FOR
SOMETHING THAT - WELL, WHAT
00:07:01.80\00:07:05.83
IS THAT? AND I THINK ONE
WAY OF LOOKING AT THAT IS
00:07:05.83\00:07:09.30
RIGHTEOUSNESS IS
A LIFESTYLE THAT IS
00:07:09.30\00:07:10.13
CONFORMING TO GOD'S WILL.
00:07:10.13\00:07:13.03
I THINK EVEN MORE TO
THE POINT IS BEING RIGHT
00:07:13.03\00:07:13.96
WITH GOD. >>BILL: OKAY.
00:07:13.96\00:07:18.26
>>PASTOR FRANK: IT'S
A SENSE THAT SOMETHING'S
00:07:18.26\00:07:19.20
NOT RIGHT. HUNGERING
AND THIRSTING ARE YOUR
00:07:19.20\00:07:22.50
BODY TELLING YOU
THAT SOMETHING'S LACKING,
00:07:22.50\00:07:25.00
SOMETHING'S MISSING. AND
HERE JESUS IS SAYING, THAT
00:07:25.00\00:07:26.03
HUNGER, THAT THIRST IS
YOUR NEED TO BE RIGHT WITH
00:07:26.03\00:07:31.66
GOD AND THAT'S WHAT
I'M HERE TO DO, JESUS SAID.
00:07:31.66\00:07:35.73
>>BILL: EVERYBODY
POSSESSES THAT HUNGER
00:07:35.73\00:07:36.60
>>PASTOR FRANK: I THINK
WE MASK IT IN DIFFERENT WAYS
00:07:36.60\00:07:39.70
BUT, YEAH, I THINK THAT
IS A UNIVERSAL NEED. SOMEBODY
00:07:39.70\00:07:45.60
SAID THAT THERE WAS A
GOD-SHAPED VACCUUM IN ALL
00:07:45.60\00:07:46.60
OF OUR HEART. THIS DESIRE,
THIS TENDENCY TOWARD GOD,
00:07:46.60\00:07:51.26
WE TEND TO FILL IT WITH
ALL KINDS OF OTHER THINGS
00:07:51.26\00:07:53.86
BUT HERE JESUS IS
PRESENTING HIS KINGDOM AND
00:07:53.86\00:07:54.80
HIMSELF AS THE ANSWER
TO THAT LONGING. >>PASTOR
00:07:54.80\00:07:58.36
TONY: IT'S WHETHER WE
KNOW IT OR NOT THAT THAT HUNGER
00:07:58.36\00:08:02.10
IS THERE. AND AT ONE
POINT WE COME TO REALIZE HOW
00:08:02.10\00:08:03.13
HUNGRY AND HOW THIRSTY
WE WERE AND THAT AWARENESS
00:08:03.13\00:08:10.16
COMES WHEN WE
ENCOUNTER CHRIST AS OUR SAVIOUR.
00:08:10.16\00:08:16.33
BUT, YOU KNOW, I'M
STILL THINKING OF THE PHYSICAL
00:08:16.33\00:08:17.30
HUNGER AND AS WE
TALK THERE ARE MILLIONS
00:08:17.30\00:08:22.00
OF PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD
WHO SUFFER FROM PHYSICAL
00:08:22.00\00:08:28.76
HUNGER. >>BILL: YES.
00:08:28.76\00:08:29.23
>>PASTOR TONY: WHO STARVE.
00:08:29.23\00:08:29.76
SOME OF THEM STARVE
TO DEATH. >>BILL: YES.
00:08:29.76\00:08:33.13
>>PASTOR TONY: AND
THEY CONTEMPLATE THAT AS THE
00:08:33.13\00:08:36.63
MOST IMMEDIATE REALITY
IN THEIR LIVES, IN FACT THE
00:08:36.63\00:08:37.63
GREATEST THREAT TO
THEIR LIVES. IN THE TIME
00:08:37.63\00:08:41.13
OF CHRIST THERE WERE ALSO
PEOPLE WHO WERE HUNGRY AND
00:08:41.13\00:08:47.50
CHRIST COULD RELATE TO
THAT. AFTERALL, WE ARE IN
00:08:47.50\00:08:48.50
MATTHEW FIVE BUT IF
WE GO ONE CHAPTER BEFORE
00:08:48.50\00:08:54.56
TO MATTHEW FOUR, WE READ
THAT CHRIST WENT INTO THE
00:08:54.56\00:09:00.16
WILDERNESS AND
00:09:00.16\00:09:03.83
>>BILL: SURE. >>PASTOR
TONY: SO, HE UNDERSTOOD
00:09:10.06\00:09:11.06
THE PANGS OF HUNGER
BECAUSE HE FELT THEM.
00:09:11.06\00:09:13.70
THERE IS NO ONE IN THE
WORLD TODAY WHO SUFFERS
00:09:13.70\00:09:18.03
FROM THE LACK OF FOOD
WHO CANNOT LOOK AT JESUS AND
00:09:18.03\00:09:19.03
SAY, YOU DON'T KNOW
WHAT I'M GOING THROUGH.
00:09:19.03\00:09:22.56
CHRIST UNDERSTOOD HUNGER,
PHYSICAL HUNGER AND SO HE
00:09:22.56\00:09:28.00
HAD A MESSAGE FOR
THOSE WHO WERE HUNGRY AT HIS
00:09:28.00\00:09:29.00
TIME SAYING, THERE IS
A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM
00:09:29.00\00:09:35.10
AND HE PRESENTS THAT AS
PART OF HIS GOSPEL. NOW,
00:09:35.10\00:09:41.40
IN CHRISTIANITY,
PARTICULARLY IN MORE
00:09:41.40\00:09:42.20
RECENT TIMES, THERE
HAS BEEN A DEVELOPMENT
00:09:42.20\00:09:47.30
KNOWN AS THE SOCIAL
GOSPEL.>>BILL: OKAY.
00:09:47.30\00:09:51.00
>>PASTOR TONY:.THAT IS
FOUNDED ON STATEMENTS LIKE
00:09:51.00\00:09:52.03
THESE AND THAT SAYS IT
IS THE DUTY OF THE CHRISTIAN
00:09:52.03\00:09:57.73
CHURCH TO FEED THE HUNGRY
>>BILL: THE HUNGRY. RIGHT.
00:09:57.73\00:10:03.33
>>PASTOR TONY: AND
THEREFORE WE HAVE TO BE
00:10:03.33\00:10:04.26
THE HANDS THAT BRING
THE FOOD TO THOSE WHO ARE
00:10:04.26\00:10:07.10
HUNGRY. JUST LIKE CHRIST
FED THE CROWDS AND SHOWED
00:10:07.10\00:10:10.90
HIS CONCERN FOR THEIR
WELL-BEING, WELL, THROUGH
00:10:10.90\00:10:11.90
US, CHRIST MUST BE
BROUGHT TO THE PEOPLE AND WE
00:10:11.90\00:10:17.96
SHOULD BE THE DELIVERERS
OF FOOD, NURISHMENT TO
00:10:17.96\00:10:25.60
THEIR BODIES, ADDRESSING
THE IMMEDIATE NEED THAT
00:10:25.60\00:10:26.60
THEY FACE. I KNOW THAT
MANY AGENCIES ARE HELPING
00:10:26.60\00:10:31.63
TO FEED THE HUNGRY. THE
ADVENTIST CHURCH HAS ITS
00:10:31.63\00:10:36.26
OWN AGENCY, ADRA.>>BILL: YES.
00:10:36.26\00:10:36.96
>>PASTOR TONY:.ADVENTIST
DEVELOPMENT AND RELIEF
00:10:36.96\00:10:40.43
AGENCY THAT WORKS IN
MANY COUNTRIES AROUND THE
00:10:40.43\00:10:44.13
WORLD. >>BILL: YES.
00:10:44.13\00:10:44.60
>>PASTOR TONY: WE LIVE
IN POVERTY AND IT'S A SACRED
00:10:44.60\00:10:48.73
DUTY THAT WE AS
CHRISTIANS, AS HUMAN
00:10:48.73\00:10:49.66
BEINGS, HAVE TO
CARE FOR THOSE WHO LACK
00:10:49.66\00:10:52.86
THE MEANS TO TAKE CARE
OF THEMSELVES. >>BILL: SO, I
00:10:52.86\00:10:58.33
GUESS THE ISSUE THEN
BECOMES, IN THE SAME WAY
00:10:58.33\00:10:59.26
THAT YOU HUNGER
AND THIRST PHYSICALLY,
00:10:59.26\00:11:05.66
THERE'S A CERTAIN LEVEL
OF DESPERATION.>>PASTOR TONY:
00:11:05.66\00:11:11.06
YES. >>BILL:.TO SATISFY
THAT. IS JESUS HERE SAYING
00:11:11.06\00:11:12.23
YOU NEED TO HAVE THAT
SAME DESPERATION, FOR LACK OF
00:11:12.23\00:11:16.73
A BETTER TERM, IN TERMS
OF SEEKING RIGHTEOUSNESS?
00:11:16.73\00:11:21.56
NOW, THE RELIGIOUS
LEADERS OF THE DAY, I MEAN,
00:11:21.56\00:11:22.56
THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE
RIGHTEOUS. >>PASTOR TONY:
00:11:22.56\00:11:26.36
YES. >>BILL: THIS MUST
HAVE BEEN INTERESTING TO
00:11:26.36\00:11:29.96
THEM BECAUSE I THINK
THEY WOULD HAVE THOUGHT,
00:11:29.96\00:11:31.06
WELL, WAIT A SECOND, THAT
OBVIOUSLY DOESN'T APPLY TO
00:11:31.06\00:11:34.43
US BECAUSE WE'RE ALREADY
RIGHTEOUS. >>PASTOR TONY:
00:11:34.43\00:11:37.16
YEAH. AND THEY WERE
JEALOUS OF JESUS SAYING,
00:11:37.16\00:11:38.10
WHO ARE YOU TO PROVIDE
AN ANSWER TO THE HUNGER AND
00:11:38.10\00:11:41.20
THIRST FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS
WHEN WE ARE HERE. >>BILL:
00:11:41.20\00:11:44.30
YES. THAT'S OUR JOB.
00:11:44.30\00:11:44.76
>>PASTOR TONY: YEAH. W
ARE PHAROSIES THAT MEANS
00:11:44.76\00:11:49.10
THE PERFECT ONES, THE
RIGHTEOUS ONES, SO WE HAVE
00:11:49.10\00:11:50.13
THE ANSWER. >>BILL: YES.
00:11:50.13\00:11:52.30
>>PASTOR TONY: IF
ANYONE HUNGERS OR THIRSTS LET
00:11:52.30\00:11:53.36
THEM BECOME A PHAROSY
JUST LIKE WE ARE AND WE WILL
00:11:53.36\00:11:56.26
PROVIDE THE SOLUTION FOR
YOUR PROBLEM. CHRIST DOES
00:11:56.26\00:11:59.83
NOT LEAD ALONG THAT PATH.
00:11:59.83\00:12:00.43
HE PRESENTS A
DIFFERENT APPROACH. I FIND IT
00:12:00.43\00:12:06.86
INTERESTING THAT
CHRIST CARED SO MUCH FOR THE
00:12:06.86\00:12:07.86
HUNGRY THAT HE PRESENTED
THE NEED TO FULFILL THE
00:12:07.86\00:12:13.86
NEEDS OF THE HUNGRY AS
A CRITERIA IN THE DAY OF
00:12:13.86\00:12:22.73
JUDGEMENT. LOOK AT THIS
TEXT. IN MATTHEW CHAPTER
00:12:22.73\00:12:23.86
25, THE CARING HEART OF
JESUS EXPRESSES ITSELF SO
00:12:23.86\00:12:32.76
ELOQUENTLY IN THIS SERMON
WHICH INCLUDES THE PARABLE
00:12:32.76\00:12:41.23
OF THE SHEEP AND GOAT.
00:12:41.23\00:12:41.83
WHERE CHRIST PRESENTS
TWO GROUPS OF PEOPLE AND IN
00:12:41.83\00:12:49.16
ONE GROUP WERE THOSE
THAT HELPED THEIR NEIGHBOUR
00:12:49.16\00:12:50.16
WHEN THE NEIGHBOUR
WAS HUNGRY OR THIRSTY AND
00:12:50.16\00:12:56.56
JESUS SAYS, WHENEVER YOU
FEED THEM, YOU ARE FEEDING
00:12:56.56\00:13:03.23
ME. AND HE SAYS TO THEM,
WELL DONE. ENTER INTO THE
00:13:03.23\00:13:04.23
JOY OF THE KINGDOM.
AND THEN, UNFORTUNATELY, TO
00:13:04.23\00:13:11.53
THOSE WHO DON'T, HE
HAS WORDS OF CONDEMNATION.
00:13:11.53\00:13:17.43
WHENEVER WE HELP THE
POOR AND THE HUNGRY WE ARE
00:13:17.43\00:13:18.43
FEEDING CHRIST HIMSELF.
00:13:18.43\00:13:23.23
THAT HUNGRY PERSON IS
JESUS. AND WE HAVE SUCH A
00:13:23.23\00:13:24.23
TREMENDOUS PRIVILEDGE
TO OFFER TO THEM PHYSICAL
00:13:24.23\00:13:31.10
FOOD AND, OF COURSE,
SPIRITUAL FOOD AS WELL.
00:13:31.10\00:13:39.53
>>BILL: SO, WOULD IT BE,
WOULD IT BE CORRECT TO SAY
00:13:39.53\00:13:40.56
THAT, THAT WHEN YOU HAVE
THAT SPIRITUAL HUNGER FOR
00:13:40.56\00:13:47.66
RIGHTEOUSNESS AND THAT
SEEMS TO BE SATISFIED, IT
00:13:47.66\00:13:51.73
ALSO TRANSFORMS HOW
YOU, I MEAN, YOUR EXTERNAL. I
00:13:51.73\00:13:52.70
MEAN, THERE'S AN
EXTERNAL TRANSFORMATION. SO YOU
00:13:52.70\00:13:57.76
HUNGER AND THIRST FOR
RIGHTEOUSNESS BUT AT THE
00:13:57.76\00:14:00.60
SAME TIME, THAT RESULT
OF THAT BEING FILLED WITH
00:14:00.60\00:14:01.60
THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF
JESUS CHRIST, IT TRANSFORMS HOW
00:14:01.60\00:14:05.96
YOU BEHAVE AND YOU BECOME
- YOU BEGIN TO PUT SOME OF
00:14:05.96\00:14:09.20
THESE CHRISTIAN
LESSONS INTO PRACTICE IN LIFE,
00:14:09.20\00:14:10.20
LIKE FEEDING THE HUNGRY
AND DOING THOSE KINDS OF
00:14:10.20\00:14:13.50
THINGS. >>PASTOR TONY:
NO QUESTION. >>BILL: WHAT IS
00:14:13.50\00:14:17.60
THE RESULT OF THIS? AS
WE DESIRE THIS RIGHTEOUSNESS
00:14:17.60\00:14:18.63
WHAT HAPPENS TO US? WHAT
IS THE RESULT OF DESIRING
00:14:18.63\00:14:23.70
RIGHTEOUSNESS? THE
RIGHTEOUSNESS OF JESUS
00:14:23.70\00:14:27.73
CHRIST. >>PASTOR
FRANK: WELL, I THINK THIS NEED
00:14:27.73\00:14:28.76
IS IN EVERYBODY. AND
YOU MENTIONED THE PHAROSIES,
00:14:28.76\00:14:32.26
HOW THEY DIDN'T THINK
THEY NEEDED IT AND I THINK THIS
00:14:32.26\00:14:34.93
SERMON BY JESUS ACTUALLY
HELPED THEM UNDERSTAND HOW
00:14:34.93\00:14:35.96
FAR THEY WERE FROM GOD.
00:14:35.96\00:14:39.43
I'M REMINDED OF ISIAH
WHEN HE SAW A VISION OF GOD ON
00:14:39.43\00:14:40.50
THE THRONE AND UPON
SEEING THAT HE SAID, "WOE IS ME.
00:14:40.50\00:14:44.76
I'M UNDONE". YOU CAN'T
GET CLOSE TO GOD AND MAINTAIN
00:14:44.76\00:14:50.53
THAT KIND OF
ARROGANCE AND THAT KIND OF, I'M
00:14:50.53\00:14:51.50
SPIRITUALLY FINE. JESUS
IS SHOWING THEM, THIS IS THE
00:14:51.50\00:14:55.43
HEART OF GOD. THIS IS
WHO HE IS. HE LOVES, HE FEEDS
00:14:55.43\00:14:58.90
THE POOR, HE LETS IT RAIN
ON THE JUST AND THE UNJUST
00:14:58.90\00:15:00.13
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN
YOU SEE HOW YOU REALLY ARE.
00:15:00.13\00:15:02.90
AND THAT DESIRE, SO YOU
BEGIN TO DESIRE - EITHER
00:15:02.90\00:15:06.96
YOU DESIRE AND YOU COME
CLOSER TO GOD OR YOU RUN
00:15:06.96\00:15:08.06
AWAY. THERE'S TWO
CHOICES WHEN YOU SEE GOD AS HE
00:15:08.06\00:15:10.83
IS. AND IF YOU SEE GOD
HOW HE IS AND YOU BECOME
00:15:10.83\00:15:15.36
ATTRACTED AND YOU MAKE
UP YOUR MIND THAT I NEED THE
00:15:15.36\00:15:16.40
CHANGE, THAT'S THE
HARDEST THING. EVERY HUMAN BEING
00:15:16.40\00:15:20.23
HAS TO HAVE THAT BATTLE
WITH THEMSELVES. I'M NOT
00:15:20.23\00:15:24.43
IN MYSELF GOOD ENOUGH.
00:15:24.43\00:15:24.93
JESUS USED THESE METAPHORS
BECAUSE YOUR BODY CANNOT
00:15:24.93\00:15:30.83
PRODUCE THE FOOD AND
WATER YOU NEED. IT'S EXTERNAL.
00:15:30.83\00:15:31.86
IT COMES FROM THE OUTSIDE.
00:15:31.86\00:15:36.00
AND SO, WHEN YOU BEGIN
TO SAY, GOD I NEED YOUR HELP
00:15:36.00\00:15:37.03
I CAN'T DO THIS,
THAT CONNECTION WITH GOD,
00:15:37.03\00:15:40.43
SOMETHING BEGINS TO
HAPPEN. A RELATIONSHIP
00:15:40.43\00:15:43.53
FORMS AND JUST LIKE
BETWEEN TWO HUMAN BEINGS
00:15:43.53\00:15:44.46
THAT RELATIONSHIP TAKES
TIME AND DEVELOPS BUT YOU
00:15:44.46\00:15:47.73
BECOME, YOU START BECOMING
FED. AND JESUS TALKS ABOUT
00:15:47.73\00:15:50.60
THE WOMAN AT THE WELL
THAT WATER JUST BEGINS TO
00:15:50.60\00:15:51.60
FLOW OUT OF YOU AND
OTHER PEOPLE START DRINKING.
00:15:51.60\00:15:55.66
YOU KNOW, AND YOU
BECOME A SOURCE OF BLESSING TO
00:15:55.66\00:15:58.96
OTHERS BECAUSE
GOD'S WORKING THROUGH YOU
00:15:58.96\00:15:59.86
>>PASTOR TONY: IT'S
INTERESTING THAT IN TWO
00:15:59.86\00:16:02.30
ENCOUNTERS IN THE
GOSPELS, CHRIST ADDRESSED THE
00:16:02.30\00:16:06.83
HUNGER AND THIRST FOR
RIGHTEOUSNESS. THE FIRST
00:16:06.83\00:16:07.90
THAT WAS JUST
MENTIONED DEFINITELY THEY
00:16:07.90\00:16:12.86
ENCOUNTERED WITH THE
WOMAN AT THE WELL. IN JOHN,
00:16:12.86\00:16:16.76
CHAPTER FOUR, SINCE WE
ARE HERE AT IT IS WRITTEN;
00:16:16.76\00:16:17.80
LET'S READ WHAT WAS
WRITTEN BY JOHN. >>BILL:
00:16:17.80\00:16:22.00
WHAT WAS WRITTEN, SURE.
00:16:22.00\00:16:22.50
>>PASTOR TONY: IN
JOHN, CHAPTER FOUR, VERSE 13,
00:16:22.50\00:16:27.36
JESUS SAYS TO THE WOMAN,
00:16:27.36\00:16:31.73
SO, THIRSTING FOR
RIGHTEOUSNESS IS SATISFIED
00:16:53.46\00:16:54.40
BY THE WATER OF LIFE
THAT CHRIST PROVIDES. AND
00:16:54.40\00:16:58.70
CHRIST TRANSFORMS US
INTO SPRING WELLS THAT CAN BE
00:16:58.70\00:17:04.06
SHARED WITH OTHERS.
00:17:04.06\00:17:04.53
NOW, REGARDING THE
FOOD, NOT THE DRINK, IN JOHN,
00:17:04.53\00:17:11.93
CHAPTER SIX, CHRIST
PREACHED THAT FAMOUS
00:17:11.93\00:17:12.83
SERMON OF THE BREAD
OF LIFE. AND IT WAS IN
00:17:12.83\00:17:17.93
VERSE 35 THAT HE SAID,
00:17:17.93\00:17:25.33
CHRIST IS THE
HEAVENLY FOOD AND DRINK FOR THE
00:17:40.06\00:17:41.03
SOUL THAT IS HUNGRY AND
THIRSTY FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
00:17:41.03\00:17:45.60
IT'S NOT FOUND IN A
HUMAN MADE PHILOSOPHY OF
00:17:45.60\00:17:50.70
RELIGION. IT'S FOUND IN
THE PERSON AND TEACHINGS
00:17:50.70\00:17:51.70
OF JESUS CHRIST.
>>BILL: OUR PROGRAM - WE HAVE
00:17:51.70\00:17:57.36
ABOUT FIVE MINUTES LEFT -
OUR PROGRAM IS SEEN ACROSS
00:17:57.36\00:18:00.93
THIS COUNTRY AND I'M
HAPPY TO SAY THAT WE DO
00:18:00.93\00:18:02.00
NOT HAVE, IN THIS
COUNTRY, MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE
00:18:02.00\00:18:11.46
PHYSICAL HUNGER.
THANK GOODNESS, WE'VE BEEN
00:18:11.46\00:18:15.36
BLESSED IN THIS COUNTRY
WITH THAT. BUT EVERY ONE
00:18:15.36\00:18:16.50
OF OUR VIEWERS HUNGERS
HAS AN EMPTINESS IN THEIR
00:18:16.50\00:18:20.00
SOUL THAT ONLY JESUS CAN
FILL >>PASTOR TONY: AMEN.
00:18:20.00\00:18:24.90
>>BILL: HOW DO THEY DO
THAT, FRANK? HOW DO THEY -
00:18:24.90\00:18:25.93
JESUS SAID, HERE, YOU
COME TO ME, COME TO ME, I'M
00:18:25.93\00:18:30.73
GOING TO GIVE YOU THE
BREAD AND I'M GOING TO
00:18:30.73\00:18:33.90
SATISFY YOU. COME TO ME,
I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU THE
00:18:33.90\00:18:35.03
WATER; YOU'RE NEVER
GOING TO THIRST AGAIN. HOW? HOW
00:18:35.03\00:18:37.16
DO WE COME? HOW DOES
THAT PERSON THAT'S WATCHING
00:18:37.16\00:18:40.66
RIGHT NOW GOING THAT'S
WHAT I NEED IN MY LIFE,
00:18:40.66\00:18:41.80
WHAT DO THEY DO?
>>PASTOR FRANK: I THINK IT'S A
00:18:41.80\00:18:44.06
UNIVERSAL TRUTH THAT
UNTIL YOU REALIZE THAT WE NEED
00:18:44.06\00:18:47.86
HELP, WE'LL NEVER SEEK
IT. >>BILL: TRUE. >>PASTOR
00:18:47.86\00:18:48.90
FRANK: IF YOU DON'T
REALIZE YOU HAVE A DISEASE
00:18:48.90\00:18:51.56
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GO
TO THE HOSPITAL TO GET HELP.
00:18:51.56\00:18:56.26
THIS SERMON IS, SORT OF,
THAT MIRROR THAT MAKES YOU
00:18:56.26\00:18:57.30
REALIZE AS I READ THIS,
I'M SO FAR FROM THE HEART
00:18:57.30\00:19:01.10
OF GOD. AND HOW WE COME
TO GOD IS SIMPLY AND HONESTLY
00:19:01.10\00:19:05.00
AND HONESTY AND TRUTH
AND HUMILITY WE COME TO HIM
00:19:05.00\00:19:06.03
AND JUST - I THINK OF
THE DISCIPLES IN THE BOAT,
00:19:06.03\00:19:10.80
"JESUS SAVE ME", THAT'S
ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL
00:19:10.80\00:19:13.56
PRAYERS THERE IS. >>BILL:
YES. >>PASTOR FRANK: IT'S
00:19:13.56\00:19:14.60
NOT FLOWERY AND FLOWING,
IT'S JUST A SIMPLE DIRECT
00:19:14.60\00:19:17.16
CRY FOR HELP. >>BILL: YES.
00:19:17.16\00:19:17.70
>>PASTOR FRANK: AND AS
FOOD AND DRINK ARE DAILY
00:19:17.70\00:19:21.90
NECESSITIES THAT
LONGING - I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT
00:19:21.90\00:19:26.56
THAT DAILY WE ASK GOD TO
FILL US. DAILY WE ASK GOD
00:19:26.56\00:19:27.56
TO CONNECT WITH US.
DAILY WE REPENT OF OUR SINS.
00:19:27.56\00:19:31.46
AND I BELIEVE THE
CHANGE HAPPENS. I BELIEVE IT
00:19:31.46\00:19:36.36
HAPPENS INDIVIDUALLY
AND IT ALSO HAPPENS IN
00:19:36.36\00:19:37.30
COMMUNITY, IN A
CHURCH COMMUNITY WHERE YOU
00:19:37.30\00:19:40.20
SUPPORT EACH OTHER AND
YOU BEGIN TO, HEY, THIS
00:19:40.20\00:19:42.56
PERSON'S WALK IS DIFFERENT
THAN MINE AND TOGETHER WE
00:19:42.56\00:19:43.76
START SEEING A
COMPOSITE PICTURE OF WHAT GOD IS
00:19:43.76\00:19:46.00
LIKE AND WE BEGIN TO
HELP OTHER PEOPLE BECAUSE OF
00:19:46.00\00:19:49.50
THAT. >>BILL: YES.
00:19:49.50\00:19:49.93
>>PASTOR TONY: IT'S
INTERESTING THAT IN THE
00:19:49.93\00:19:52.40
CONTEXT OF THE
TEMPTATIONS OF JESUS THE FIRST
00:19:52.40\00:19:53.36
TEMPTATION WAS ABOUT
FOOD AND HUNGER AND CHRIST
00:19:53.36\00:19:59.76
RESPONDED TO THE TEMPTER,
00:19:59.76\00:20:05.73
>>BILL: WHERE HAVE I
HEARD THAT BEFORE? >>PASTOR
00:20:16.53\00:20:17.66
TONY: THAT IS A
CENTRAL TEXT TO THIS PROGRAM,
00:20:17.66\00:20:19.36
TO THIS TELECAST. >>BILL:
YES, ABSOLUTELY. >>PASTOR
00:20:19.36\00:20:21.70
TONY: BUT IT ADDRESSES
THE VERY TRUTH THAT WE ARE
00:20:21.70\00:20:22.73
TALKING ABOUT TODAY IS
THE HUNGER AND TRUTH FOR GOD
00:20:22.73\00:20:24.93
AND RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH
CAN ONLY BE SATISFIED BY
00:20:24.93\00:20:29.16
THE WORD OF GOD. THAT IS
OUR TRUE FOOD. IT WAS THE
00:20:29.16\00:20:30.16
FOOD FOR JESUS. IT WAS
THAT WHICH STRENGTHENED
00:20:30.16\00:20:34.93
HIM IN HIS MINISTRY.
00:20:34.93\00:20:35.36
WE CAN FIND THE
SAME SATISFACTION IN THE
00:20:35.36\00:20:39.20
WORD OF GOD.
>>BILL: ABSOLUTELY. WELL,
00:20:39.20\00:20:44.06
GENTLEMEN, WE ARE
ABOUT OUT OF TIME. I WANT TO
00:20:44.06\00:20:45.16
GIVE YOU AN OPPORTUNITY,
FRANK, IF THERE'S ANY
00:20:45.16\00:20:50.20
CLOSING REMARKS, WE
HAVE MAYBE A MINUTE OR SO AND
00:20:50.20\00:20:54.46
MAYBE THERE'S A CLOSING
REMARK THAT YOU WANTED TO
00:20:54.46\00:20:55.50
MAKE BEFORE THIS PROGRAM
WRAPPED UP. SO, I WANT TO
00:20:55.50\00:20:58.50
GIVE YOU THE
OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT. >>PASTOR
00:20:58.50\00:21:00.20
FRANK: SURE. AS I
THINK ABOUT WHAT JESUS TAUGHT
00:21:00.20\00:21:01.33
HERE IN THESE
BEATITUDES AND THE SERMON ON THE
00:21:01.33\00:21:03.40
MOUNT IT'S SO PARADOXICAL,
IT'S SO - SOMEBODY CALLED
00:21:03.40\00:21:07.13
IT THE UPSIDE DOWN
KINGDOM. YOU SEE JESUS
00:21:07.13\00:21:08.03
BEING ATTRACTED TO
WOMAN WHO GIVES HER LAST TWO
00:21:08.03\00:21:12.43
PENNIES; YOU KNOW, A
DISHONEST TAX COLLECTOR
00:21:12.43\00:21:15.70
WHO CLIMBS UP A SYCAMORE
TREE; A WOMAN WHO'S FIVE
00:21:15.70\00:21:16.66
TIMES MARRIED; A BLIND
BEGGAR; NAMELESS CHILDREN;
00:21:16.66\00:21:19.76
A MAN WITH LEPROSY;
EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING'S
00:21:19.76\00:21:22.80
DIFFERENT THAN THE
WAY WE PERCEIVE POWER AND
00:21:22.80\00:21:23.76
GOODNESS AND STATUS. AND
TO ME, JESUS IS SHOWING US
00:21:23.76\00:21:29.16
THE HEART OF GOD,
THATHE IS, HE SEES THINGS SO
00:21:29.16\00:21:33.90
DIFFERENTLY FROM US AND
HE LOVES US FROM THE BOTTOM
00:21:33.90\00:21:34.93
UP AND HE WILL ALWAYS BE
THERE FOR US. AND WE JUST
00:21:34.93\00:21:38.40
HAVE TO OPEN OUR HEARTS
AND HUMBLE OURSELVES NOT
00:21:38.40\00:21:42.63
TRUMPET ANY KIND OF
RIGHTEOUSNESS OF OUR OWN
00:21:42.63\00:21:43.56
BUT TRUST GOD THAT
HE CAN DO FOR US WHAT WE
00:21:43.56\00:21:47.26
CAN NEVER DO FOR OURSELVES
>>BILL: YES. IT'S VERY SAD
00:21:47.26\00:21:49.83
THAT IN MATTHEW,
CHAPTER SEVEN, AROUND VERSE
00:21:49.83\00:21:50.76
21 THERE WHERE JESUS
IS TALKING ABOUT THE LAST
00:21:50.76\00:21:55.56
DAYS THAT THOSE THAT
COME BEFORE HIM AND BEGIN TO
00:21:55.56\00:21:58.16
LIST THERE, YOU KNOW,
PROCLAIM THEIR LIST OF
00:21:58.16\00:21:59.13
ACCOMPLISHMENTS, HERE'S
ALL OF THE THINGS THAT WE
00:21:59.13\00:22:02.66
DID IN YOUR NAME; WE
DID THIS, WE DID THIS, YOU
00:22:02.66\00:22:05.36
KNOW, THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND
00:22:05.36\00:22:06.10
PROBABLY THE SADDEST
WORDS IN ALL OF SCRIPTURE
00:22:06.10\00:22:09.26
HE SAYS, YOU KNOW WHAT,
I NEVER KNEW YOU, YOU NEVER
00:22:09.26\00:22:14.73
KNEW ME. MY PRAYER IS
THAT EACH AND EVERY ONE OF OUR
00:22:14.73\00:22:15.80
VIEWERS WILL GET TO
KNOW THIS JESUS AND WILL
00:22:15.80\00:22:20.26
HUNGER AND THIRST AND
SEEK HIM FOR THAT SATISFACTION.
