RIDDLE FOR YOU TO SOLVE.
00:00:01.56\00:00:02.53
WHAT IS THE ONLY THINGTHAT
IF YOU GIVE IT AWAY YOU
00:00:02.53\00:00:05.50
STILL HAVE A LOT OF IT
LEFT OVER? CAN YOU GUESS
00:00:05.50\00:00:10.40
WHAT IT IS? THE
ANSWER WHEN WE RETURN.

STOOD THE TEST OF TIME . . .
00:00:26.43\00:00:28.10
GOD'S BOOK, THE BIBLE.
00:00:28.33\00:00:28.83
GOD'S BOOK, THE BIBLE.
00:00:30.56\00:00:32.13
STILL RELEVANT IN
TODAY'S COMPLEX WORLD.
00:00:32.43\00:00:36.16
IT IS WRITTEN . .
00:00:36.90\00:00:37.30

(MUSIC)
00:00:43.10\00:01:00.26
>>BILL: WELL THE ANSWER
IS LOVE. NOW, LOVE IS ONE
00:01:00.73\00:01:01.76
OF THE MOST OFTEN USED
AND MISAPPLIED, MISUNDERSTOOD
00:01:01.76\00:01:05.36
WORDS IN THE ENGLISH
LANGUAGE. ITS USAGE IS
00:01:05.36\00:01:10.20
NEARLY LIMITLESS.
AND PEOPLE SAY THEY LOVE
00:01:10.20\00:01:11.26
EVERYTHING FROM PEANUT
BUTTER TO FIREWORKS. BUT
00:01:11.26\00:01:16.46
AS CHRISTIANS WE'RE CALLED
TO WALK IN THE SAME MANNER
00:01:16.46\00:01:22.66
AS 'HE' WALKED. AND SO,
WE ARE CALLED TO MANIFEST AND
00:01:22.66\00:01:23.76
MODEL CHRIST'S LOVE.
WE'LL LET ME THANK YOU FOR
00:01:23.76\00:01:37.53
JOINING US ON THIS
WEEK'S "IT IS WRITTEN" PROGRAM.

00:03:11.46\00:03:12.53
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHO
IS PASTOR FRANK DELL'ERBA?
00:03:12.53\00:03:15.20
>>PASTOR FRANK: A PASTOR
THAT WAS BORN NOT TOO FAR
00:03:15.20\00:03:20.26
FROM HERE, HAMILTON.
00:03:20.26\00:03:20.73
ITALIAN BACKGROUND. I
HAVE TWO CHURCHES IN THE, I
00:03:20.73\00:03:24.33
PASTOR TWO CHURCHES
IN THE TORONTO AREA. ONE
00:03:24.33\00:03:25.30
IS HARMONY SEVENTH-DAY
ADVENTIST CHURCH WHICH
00:03:25.30\00:03:28.76
IS A CHURCH THAT
YOU'RE PROBABLY VERY FAMILIAR
00:03:28.76\00:03:30.60
WITH. YOU PASTORED
THERE YOURSELF. >>BILL: I DID,
00:03:30.60\00:03:31.56
YOU'RE RIGHT. >>PASTOR
FRANK: AND THE OTHER IS
00:03:31.56\00:03:33.60
A SMALL ITALIAN
GROUP, THE TORONTO ITALIAN
00:03:33.60\00:03:35.60
SEVENTH-DAY
ADVENTIST COMPANY. WE HAVE A
00:03:35.60\00:03:36.50
BEAUTIFUL MULTI-CULTURAL
SETTING THERE. IT'S JUST A
00:03:36.50\00:03:40.76
PRIVILEDGE TO PASTOR THEM
>>BILL: IS THERE A WEBSITE
00:03:40.76\00:03:45.83
THAT YOU'D LIKE TO
INFORM OUR VIEWERS.>>PASTOR
00:03:45.83\00:03:46.80
FRANK: OUR CHURCH IS AT
WWW.HARMONYSDACHURCH.ORG.
00:03:46.80\00:03:49.53
>>BILL: WONDERFUL. WELL,
WE'VE DONE A STUDY ON THE
00:03:49.53\00:03:51.96
BOOK OF GALATIONS. WE
HAD DR. GEORGE KNIGHT AS
00:03:51.96\00:03:52.93
OUR SPECIAL GUEST AND
HE WALKED US THROUGH THE
00:03:52.93\00:04:04.96
BOOK OF GALATIONS. AND
I THOUGHT THAT WHEN WE GOT
00:04:04.96\00:04:11.70
HERE, TO THE FRUIT OF
THE SPIRIT, WE NEEDED TO PARK
00:04:11.70\00:04:12.73
OURSELVES HERE A
LITTLE BIT AND SPEND SOME TIME
00:04:12.73\00:04:16.46
ON EACH ONE OF THESE
NINE ELEMENTS OF THIS FRUIT
00:04:16.46\00:04:21.06
THAT PAUL TALKS ABOUT
HERE AND HOW HE CONTRASTS THOSE
00:04:21.06\00:04:22.16
WITH THE DEEDS OF
THE FLESH. ALL RIGHT? THE
00:04:22.16\00:04:27.53
KINDS OF THINGS THAT TEND
TO COME NATURALLY TO US IN
00:04:27.53\00:04:33.60
OUR SINFUL NATURE, RIGHT?
00:04:33.60\00:04:34.13
AND THEN CONTRASTING
THAT TO WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE
00:04:34.13\00:04:37.76
ALLOW THE SPIRIT TO
CONTROL OUR LIVES. WHAT
00:04:37.76\00:04:38.86
ARE THE KINDS OF THINGS
THAT BEGIN TO BE EVIDENT
00:04:38.86\00:04:42.93
IN OUR LIVES? IT'S
PROBABLY NOT SUPRISING
00:04:42.93\00:04:47.90
THAT HE STARTS WITH
LOVE, RIGHT? THIS IS THE SAME
00:04:47.90\00:04:48.93
PAUL WHO TALKS ABOUT THE
IMPORTANCE OF LOVE, RIGHT,
00:04:48.93\00:04:57.10
IN ALL THE SPIRITUAL
GIFTS. SO LET'S LOOK AT
00:04:57.10\00:05:02.50
THAT BECAUSE I DID
SAY IN THE INTRO THAT LOVE
00:05:02.50\00:05:03.46
IS A VERY MISUSED AND
MISUNDERSTOOD WORD IN OUR
00:05:03.46\00:05:07.36
CULTURE. I MEAN, WE
JUST, PEOPLE JUST SAY THEY LOVE
00:05:07.36\00:05:12.73
ANYTHING AND MAYBE WE
NEED TO START TALKING ABOUT A
00:05:12.73\00:05:13.76
DEFINITION OF LOVE.
AND WE KNOW AND MANY OF OUR
00:05:13.76\00:05:20.40
VIEWERS MAY KNOW
THAT THERE ARE DIFFERENT
00:05:20.40\00:05:23.03
DEFINITIONS OF LOVE,
AT LEAST FOUND IN THE NEW
00:05:23.03\00:05:24.03
TESTAMENT. MAYBE THAT
WOULD BE A GOOD PLACE FOR
00:05:24.03\00:05:26.96
US TO START. LET'S
DEFINE, WHAT DOES PAUL MEAN BY
00:05:26.96\00:05:32.23
LOVE HERE IN GALATIONS
5, VERSE 22. >>PASTOR FRANK:
00:05:32.23\00:05:33.26
WELL, ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT, ONE OF THE GREEK
00:05:33.26\00:05:40.66
WORDS, BECAUSE GREEK
HAS MULTIPLE WORDS FOR THE
00:05:40.66\00:05:45.13
CONCEPT OF LOVE. WE
JUST HAVE THAT ONE WORD.
00:05:45.13\00:05:46.16
SO AS YOU PUT IT, I LOVE
CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM IS THE
00:05:46.16\00:05:50.93
SAME WORD AS I LOVE YOU
AND I WANT TO GIVE MY LOVE
00:05:50.93\00:05:54.93
TO YOU. >>BILL: RIGHT.
00:05:54.93\00:05:55.43
>>PASTOR FRANK: WE,
KIND OF, DON'T HAVE THAT
00:05:55.43\00:05:57.23
CONCEPT. THE CONCEPT
IN THE GREEK, THE WORD
00:05:57.23\00:05:58.16
'AGAPE' IS THIS LOVE THAT
IS NOT BASED ON THE PERSON
00:05:58.16\00:06:02.66
THAT IS BEING LOVED,
IT'S BASED UPON THE PERSON
00:06:02.66\00:06:06.60
THAT'S DOING THE LOVING.
00:06:06.60\00:06:07.10
IT PLACES VALUE ON THE
PERSON'S SYMPATHY BECAUSE
00:06:07.10\00:06:10.93
I CHOOSE TO DO. IT'S
AN ACT OF WILL. IT'S AN
00:06:10.93\00:06:11.90
UNCONDITIONAL LOVE AND
IT'S A HUGE THING, IT'S
00:06:11.90\00:06:15.43
A HUGE CONCEPT THAT PAUL
BRINGS US TO. AND FRANKLY,
00:06:15.43\00:06:21.00
WHEN YOU REALLY
REALIZE WHAT THIS LOVE IS, IT'S
00:06:21.00\00:06:22.03
IMPOSSIBLE HUMANLY. IT
IS SOMETHING THAT WE NEED
00:06:22.03\00:06:26.60
THE HOLY SPIRIT TO HELP
US TO EXPERIENCE. >>PASTOR
00:06:26.60\00:06:29.80
DAVID: I THINK THIS
HAS BEEN GOD'S INTENT TO
00:06:29.80\00:06:30.73
REVEAL WHAT THIS KIND
OF LOVE IS. I THINK BACK IN
00:06:30.73\00:06:35.66
DEUTORONOMY, I WAS JUST
READING NOT TOO LONG AGO
00:06:35.66\00:06:40.10
IN DEUTORONOMY WHERE
GOD BRINGS THE PEOPLE TO A
00:06:40.10\00:06:41.06
MOUNTAIN AND THEY'VE
BEEN IN BONDAGE AND SLAVERY,
00:06:41.06\00:06:44.86
THE CHILDREN OF ISREAL
FOR OVER 430 YEARS AND HE
00:06:44.86\00:06:48.70
WANTS TO TEACH THEM
ABOUT HIMSELF. AND HE SAYS,
00:06:48.70\00:06:49.70
HERE'S SOME GUIDELINES,
HERE'S SOME PRINCIPLES
00:06:49.70\00:06:51.93
THAT I WANT YOU TO
LEARN HOW TO LOVE ME, FIRST OF
00:06:51.93\00:06:55.06
ALL, AND THEN HOW TO
LOVE ONE ANOTHER. BECAUSE THEY
00:06:55.06\00:06:56.10
WERE UNDER THE INFLUENCE
OF SO MANY OTHER NATIONS
00:06:56.10\00:06:59.16
AND HE GIVES THEM THE
PRINCIPLES ON ONE GOD, NO
00:06:59.16\00:07:02.83
IDOLS, RESPECT MY
NAME, SPEND TIME WITH ME. HE
00:07:02.83\00:07:03.83
GIVES THEM THESE
AMAZING PRINCIPLES ON HOW TO
00:07:03.83\00:07:07.93
RELATE AND HOW TO LOVE
GOD BACK AND THEN HE SAYS THIS
00:07:07.93\00:07:11.56
INCREDIBLE THING WHEN HE
GETS THEM TO THE MOUNTAIN
00:07:11.56\00:07:12.56
HE SAYS I WANT YOU TO
LOVE GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART
00:07:12.56\00:07:15.60
AND ALL YOUR SOUL AND
ALL YOUR STRENGTH. AND THAT'S
00:07:15.60\00:07:20.40
GOD'S INTENT. HE SAYS
IT OVER AND OVER AND OVER
00:07:20.40\00:07:21.40
AGAIN AND FINALLY,
THERE'S THIS POWERFUL VERSE THAT
00:07:21.40\00:07:24.16
JUST IMPRESSES ME
HERE, THIS IS DEUTORONOMY
00:07:24.16\00:07:28.03
CHAPTER 30 WHERE HE
SAYS, THIS IS THE DAY, HE GETS
00:07:28.03\00:07:29.03
THEM, MOSES IS AT THE
END OF HIS LIFE AND THEY'RE
00:07:29.03\00:07:32.30
GOING ON NOW TOWARDS THE
PROMISED LAND AND HE SAYS,
00:07:32.30\00:07:35.40
"BUT THIS DAY, I
CALL HEAVEN AND EARTH AS A
00:07:35.40\00:07:36.36
WITNESS AGAINST YOU, I
HAVE SET BEFORE YOU LIFE
00:07:36.36\00:07:38.03
AND DEATH, BLESSINGS AND
CURSES. NOW, I WANT YOU TO
00:07:38.03\00:07:40.70
CHOOSE LIFE. LOVING ME IS
LIFE, LEARNING ABOUT ME IS
00:07:40.70\00:07:41.76
LIFE. AND HE SAYS,
CHOOSE LIFE THAT YOU AND YOUR
00:07:41.76\00:07:47.36
CHILDREN MAY LIVE AND
THAT YOU MAY LOVE, THAT YOU MAY
00:07:47.36\00:07:52.30
LOVE THE LORD YOUR
GOD, LISTEN TO HIS VOICE,
00:07:52.30\00:07:53.36
HOLDFAST TO HIM. THE
LORD IS YOUR LIFE AND HE WILL
00:07:53.36\00:07:55.86
GIVE YOU MANY YEARS IN
HIS LAND. THIS WHOLE JOURNEY
00:07:55.86\00:07:59.80
OVER AND OVER AND OVER
AGAIN HE SAYS I WANT YOU
00:07:59.80\00:08:00.83
TO LOVE ME, I WANT TO
SHOW YOU WHAT LOVE IS, HOW TO
00:08:00.83\00:08:05.66
LOVE ONE ANOTHER. I
THINK WHEN PAUL ALUDES THAT THE
00:08:05.66\00:08:09.76
CLOSER WE GET TO JESUS
THE MORE THIS LOVE COMES
00:08:09.76\00:08:10.73
THROUGH US TO OTHERS AS
A RELATIONSHIP. >>PASTOR
00:08:10.73\00:08:15.30
FRANK: I THINK IT'S A
BEAUTIFUL POINT YOU MADE
00:08:15.30\00:08:18.23
THERE. IN MY BACKGROUND
AS AN ITALIAN, WE WOULD USE
00:08:18.23\00:08:19.26
'TI AMO'. COUPLES USE
THAT EXCLUSIVELY BUT WHEN YOU
00:08:19.26\00:08:24.16
EXPRESS LOVE TO FAMILY OR
FRIENDS YOU WOULD SAY, 'TI
00:08:24.16\00:08:28.70
VOLU ABENO' WHICH
LITERALLY MEANS I WANT
00:08:28.70\00:08:29.56
GOOD FOR YOU. AND WHEN I
THINK ABOUT HOW THE BIBLE
00:08:29.56\00:08:34.26
ACTUALLY TRANSMITS OR
SHOWS US WHAT LOVE IS ALL
00:08:34.26\00:08:40.00
ABOUT IS USUALLY, IT'S
NOT THROUGH DEFINITION, LIKE
00:08:40.00\00:08:41.13
DICTIONARY DEFINITIONS,
IT'S THROUGH STORIES. YOU
00:08:41.13\00:08:44.40
LOOK AT THE STORY OF THE
PRODIGAL SON.>>BILL: YES.
00:08:44.40\00:08:47.36
>>PASTOR FRANK:.THE
GOOD SAMARITAN, YOU WATCH THE
00:08:47.36\00:08:48.33
ACTS OF GOD FROM
GENESIS TO REVELATION AND HOW HE
00:08:48.33\00:08:51.40
INTERACTS WITH US AND HOW
WE LET HIM DOWN AND HOW HE
00:08:51.40\00:08:52.60
PICKS US BACK UP, HOW
HE GIVES US UNMERITED GRACE
00:08:52.60\00:08:53.56
AND MOST OF ALL LOVE
ENCAPSULATED IN A PERSON,
00:08:53.56\00:08:58.06
JESUS CHRIST. AND YOU
SEE THAT CONTINUALLY PLAYED
00:08:58.06\00:09:02.70
OUT. GOD WANTING GOOD
FOR US, WANTING GOOD FOR
00:09:02.70\00:09:03.66
US AND SHOWING US THROUGH
ACTIONS AND I THINK THAT'S
00:09:03.66\00:09:07.86
A GOOD DEFINITION FOR
LOVE IS THAT BIBLICAL LOVE IS A
00:09:07.86\00:09:11.06
DECISION TO ACT FOR
THE GOOD OF OTHERS. IT'S AN
00:09:11.06\00:09:12.23
ACT OF CHOICE.
>>BILL: SO, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO
00:09:12.23\00:09:16.50
LOVE GOD WITHOUT THAT
LOVE REFLECTING IN OUR LOVE FOR
00:09:16.50\00:09:24.30
OUR FELLOW MAN.
>>PASTOR FRANK: YES. I WOULD SAY
00:09:24.30\00:09:25.30
THAT. I WOULD SAY THAT.
HE SAYS IT OVER AND OVER
00:09:25.30\00:09:30.86
HE CONNECTS LOVING HIM
SUPREMELY WITH LOVING.IT'S
00:09:30.86\00:09:34.40
LIKE TO TWO SETS OF THE
SAME COIN. YOU CAN'T SAY I
00:09:34.40\00:09:35.46
LOVE GOD AND THEN YOU
JUST DON'T CARE ABOUT ANYONE
00:09:35.46\00:09:38.73
ELSE AROUND YOU.
DOESN'T WORK. >>BILL: YOU KNOW,
00:09:38.73\00:09:42.33
AS, AS DIFFICULT AS
THE CONCEPT OF LOVING ONE
00:09:42.33\00:09:43.33
ANOTHER IS, I THINK
FOR SOME FOLKS TO GRASP, I
00:09:43.33\00:09:48.23
THINK FOR MANY OF OUR
VIEWERS THE CONCEPT OF
00:09:48.23\00:09:51.50
LOVING AN INVISIBLE
GOD MAY BE MORE COMPLEX.
00:09:51.50\00:09:52.46
HOW DOES ONE BEGIN THIS
PROCESS OF GETTING TO KNOW
00:09:52.46\00:10:08.00
AND LOVE THIS LOVING
GOD AS YOU SAID, LOVE ME AND
00:10:08.00\00:10:12.83
THERE'S LIFE. HOW DOES
THAT BEGIN TO HAPPEN? YOU
00:10:12.83\00:10:13.83
KNOW, WE'VE GOT
PEOPLE WATCHING THAT, I MEAN,
00:10:13.83\00:10:18.23
CONCEPTUALLY THAT'S,
THAT'S A REAL, THAT'S A
00:10:18.23\00:10:21.43
CHALLENGE FOR THEM.
00:10:21.43\00:10:21.90
>>PASTOR DAVID: I KNOW
FOR ME THIS IS A JOURNEY OF
00:10:21.90\00:10:25.13
FAITH. I SEE YOU AND
I SEE YOU.>>BILL: YES.
00:10:25.13\00:10:26.06
>>PASTOR DAVID:.AND
WE'RE INTERACTING THIS WAY BUT
00:10:26.06\00:10:31.63
WITH GOD WE'RE, THIS IS
A JOURNEY BY FAITH AND I
00:10:31.63\00:10:35.76
EXPERIENCE HIM. AND
THAT'S WHAT I LOVE SO MUCH ABOUT
00:10:35.76\00:10:36.83
THE BIBLE. THE BIBLE,
IT CAPTURES THE JOURNEY OF
00:10:36.83\00:10:39.53
THOSE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED
HIM IN MANY WAYS. HE'S
00:10:39.53\00:10:44.53
BECOME VERY REAL TO THEM,
VERY INTIMATE TO THEM. FOR
00:10:44.53\00:10:45.60
ME AND MY OWN JOURNEY,
THE CLOSER I GET, THE MORE
00:10:45.60\00:10:48.80
I DO TO SPEND TIME IN
THE WORD, TO COMMUNICATE WITH
00:10:48.80\00:10:52.63
HIM THROUGH PRAYER, AND
PRACTICE SOME PRINCIPLES
00:10:52.63\00:10:53.63
AND DISCIPLINES TO KEEP
ME FOCUSED ON HIM. THEN MY
00:10:53.63\00:10:57.96
JOURNEY WITH HIM
BECOMES MORE REAL, MORE RELEVANT
00:10:57.96\00:11:01.93
THAN TO MY LIFE. THEN I
START TO SEE SOME OF THESE
00:11:01.93\00:11:03.00
CHANGES WHERE THE
LOVE I'M READING ABOUT THAT
00:11:03.00\00:11:06.30
GOD, THROUGH JESUS, FOR
EXAMPLE, AND JESUS LIVED
00:11:06.30\00:11:08.86
AND MODELLED. WHEN I
SEE WHAT JESUS DID AND THE
00:11:08.86\00:11:09.83
PROMISES THAT HE MADE
FOR ME AND HE'S GOING TO DO
00:11:09.83\00:11:14.20
THAT AND ACCOMPLISH
THAT IN ME. HE'S GOING TO DO
00:11:14.20\00:11:18.40
THAT. IT JUST MAKES
THAT - I MEAN, WHEN WE DRAW
00:11:18.40\00:11:19.36
CLOSER TO HIM AND THOSE
PRINCIPLES HE STARTS DOING
00:11:19.36\00:11:24.03
THAT THROUGH US. IT'S
INCREDIBLE AND UNLESS YOU
00:11:24.03\00:11:27.16
EXPERIENCE THAT,
UNLESS YOU'VE ACTUALLY
00:11:27.16\00:11:28.00
EXPERIENCED IT YOURSELF
IT'S HARD TO EXPLAIN. ONCE
00:11:28.00\00:11:30.90
YOU'VE EXPERIENCED IT,
THERE'S NOTHING LIKE IT.
00:11:30.90\00:11:34.46
>>BILL: FRANK, I THINK
YOU HAD.>>FRANK: WHAT I WAS,
00:11:34.46\00:11:35.50
I WAS THINKING ABOUT
WHAT JESUS SAID IN MATTHEW
00:11:35.50\00:11:37.30
25. AT THE END OF TIME
HE SEPARATES ALL OF HUMANITY
00:11:37.30\00:11:40.90
INTO TWO GROUPS, SHEEP
AND GOATS, AND HE CALLS THE
00:11:40.90\00:11:41.96
SHEEP INTO HIS KINGDOM
AND HE SAYS, I WAS THIRSTY
00:11:41.96\00:11:46.76
AND YOU GAVE ME SOMETHING
TO DRINK, I WAS HUNGRY AND
00:11:46.76\00:11:49.06
YOU GAVE ME SOMETHING
TO EAR, I WAS IN PRISON AND
00:11:49.06\00:11:50.03
YOU CAME AND VISITIED ME.
00:11:50.03\00:11:52.10
JUST PRACTICAL ACTS OF
LOVE. AND, OF COURSE, THEY
00:11:52.10\00:11:53.13
RESPONDED, HOW DID WE
DO THAT TO YOU? YOU KNOW,
00:11:53.13\00:11:55.73
YOU'RE INVISIBLE. WE
DON'T SEE YOU. HE SAID, "WHEN
00:11:55.73\00:11:58.20
YOU DO IT TO THE LEAST
OF MY BRETHERN, THEN YOU DO
00:11:58.20\00:11:59.20
IT TO ME." SO, YOU WANT
TO LEARN TO LOVE GOD? THEN
00:11:59.20\00:12:03.33
LEARN TO LOVE THE LEAST
OF THESE. LEARN TO LOVE EACH
00:12:03.33\00:12:07.36
OTHER AND THEN THAT
LOVE STARTS TO ACTUALLY GROW
00:12:07.36\00:12:08.46
AND BE PLAYED OUT. I
THINK ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT
00:12:08.46\00:12:12.16
THINGS IS TO ADMIT I
DON'T HAVE, I DON'T HAVE THAT
00:12:12.16\00:12:15.73
LOVE AND I NEED TO ASK
GOD FOR THAT GIFT. >>BILL:
00:12:15.73\00:12:16.76
WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES
IN OUR COMMUNITIES, IN OUR
00:12:16.76\00:12:21.96
CHURCHES IN A LACK OF
THIS PRACTICAL MANIFESTATION OF
00:12:21.96\00:12:27.86
THIS LOVE? I MEAN,
HOW DOES THIS PLAY OUT?
00:12:27.86\00:12:28.80
WHAT HAPPENS IN OUR
COMMUNITIES? WHAT HAPPENS
00:12:28.80\00:12:33.73
IN OUR CHURCHES WHEN
WE, AS FOLLOWERS OF JESUS
00:12:33.73\00:12:39.00
CHRIST, DO NOT PRACTICALLY
DEMONSTRATE THAT LOVE TO
00:12:39.00\00:12:40.13
OUR FELLOW MAN? >>PASTOR
DAVID: PAIN. WE SEE A LOT
00:12:40.13\00:12:46.06
OF PAIN. THE BIBLE TALKS
ABOUT THE DEVASTATION THAT
00:12:46.06\00:12:51.50
GOES ON IN A GODLESS
ENVIRONMENT WHERE THERE'S
00:12:51.50\00:12:52.46
NO LOVE. HURT. THE
CONSEQUENCES OF THOSE
00:12:52.46\00:12:57.46
ACTIONS. THOSE LOVELESS
ACTIONS, CONSEQUENCES ARE
00:12:57.46\00:13:03.60
DEVASTATING. WE SEE
THAT ALL AROUND US, EVERYDAY
00:13:03.60\00:13:04.60
THAT'S WHY I'M SO DRAWN
TO JESUS AND HIS LIFE. HE
00:13:04.60\00:13:08.00
ADDED VALUE, HE
DIDN'T TAKE IT AWAY. HE ADDED
00:13:08.00\00:13:11.30
LOVE. THAT LOVE WAS
UPLIFTING AND BUILDING
00:13:11.30\00:13:12.23
UP AND I THINK THAT'S
THE MODEL HE'S GIVEN TO US TO
00:13:12.23\00:13:15.86
FOLLOW. AND EVERYTIME WE
MOVE CLOSER TO THAT MODEL
00:13:15.86\00:13:20.40
EVEN HERE IN, YOU
KNOW, 1CORINTHIANS 13, IT
00:13:20.40\00:13:21.36
EXPLAINS WHAT LOVE IS.
00:13:21.36\00:13:23.26
IT'S PATIENT, IT'S
KIND, IT DOESN'T ENVY, IT'S
00:13:23.26\00:13:24.23
NOT RUDE, THE OPPOSITE
OF WHICH IS THAT LOVELESS
00:13:24.23\00:13:27.90
BUT HERE IT SAYS,
LOVE IS, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT
00:13:27.90\00:13:31.66
SELF-SEEKING, IT'S
NOT EASILY ANGERED, AND IT
00:13:31.66\00:13:32.63
GOES ON, IT NEVER
FAILS AND OF EVERYTHING ELSE,
00:13:32.63\00:13:35.06
THE GREATEST OF THESE
IS LOVE. AND SO WE PAY THE
00:13:35.06\00:13:39.80
PRICE WHEN WE DON'T
DEMONSTRATE OR MODEL OR
00:13:39.80\00:13:40.76
DON'T EXPERIENCE IT.
IT DOES REALLY DRASTICALLY
00:13:40.76\00:13:43.16
AFFECT US. >>PASTOR
FRANK: IN OUR EVERYDAY PRACTICAL
00:13:43.16\00:13:45.50
EXPERIENCE, FOR EXAMPLE,
TAKE MARRIAGE. YOU HAVE A
00:13:45.50\00:13:46.50
WEDDING DAY AND YOU MAKE
WEDDING VOWS AND YOU IT'S
00:13:46.50\00:13:50.73
ALL ABOUT YOU, AND I'M
FOCUSED ON YOU, AND I LOVE
00:13:50.73\00:13:53.56
YOU AND THEN
IMAGINE LIVING YOUR LIFE
00:13:53.56\00:13:54.36
COMPLETELY OPPOSITE
AFTER THAT DAY. LIKE, YOU DON'T
00:13:54.36\00:13:57.83
SPEND TIME WITH YOUR
WIFE AND YOU DON'T, YOU IGNORE
00:13:57.83\00:14:01.53
HER AND YOU GO OUT WITH
THE BOYS AND YOU MAY HAVE
00:14:01.53\00:14:02.56
KNOWLEDGE OF HER, YOU
HAVE GREAT KNOWLEDGE OF WHO
00:14:02.56\00:14:06.63
THE PERSON IS BUT THAT
KNOWLEDGE IS NOT ACTUALLY
00:14:06.63\00:14:09.13
HEADING TO SOMETHING.
00:14:09.13\00:14:09.73
KNOWLEDGE IS A MEANS
TO SOMETHING. TO WHAT? TO
00:14:09.73\00:14:14.03
LOVE, TO THE RELATIONSHIP
AND SOMETIMES WE STOP AT
00:14:14.03\00:14:15.13
KNOWLEDGE. AND THAT'S
WHAT HAPPENS TO CHURCHES IF WE
00:14:15.13\00:14:19.00
FOCUS ON KNOWLEDGE
ONLY IT'S THE SAME THING AS
00:14:19.00\00:14:23.26
BEING MARRIED TO SOMEBODY,
HAVING ALL THIS KNOWLEDGE
00:14:23.26\00:14:24.33
BUT YOU'RE ACTUALLY
NOT MARRIED AND BEING IN
00:14:24.33\00:14:26.86
THAT RELATIONSHIP. IT'S
A TRAGEDY. >>BILL: YEAH.
00:14:26.86\00:14:30.36
JESUS SORT OF TAKES IT
THE NEXT STEP AND SAYS, YOU
00:14:30.36\00:14:31.56
KNOW, THERE'S ONE THING
ABOUT LOVING SOMEONE YOU
00:14:31.56\00:14:34.66
LIKE, YOU KNOW, SOMEONE
WHO'S NICE, BUT I'M GOING
00:14:34.66\00:14:43.93
TO TELL YOU YOU WANT TO
SEPARATE THE MEN FROM THE
00:14:43.93\00:14:45.06
MICE IF YOU KNOW. YOU
LOVE YOUR ENEMIES. YOU
00:14:45.06\00:14:49.23
LOVE THOSE ONES.
THAT'S WHEN WE REALLY BEGIN TO
00:14:49.23\00:14:52.86
DEMONSTRATE HOW IN THE
WORLD, HOW IN THE WORLD
00:14:52.86\00:14:53.86
DO WE DO THAT SOMEONE,
YOU KNOW, IT'S A COLLEAGUE
00:14:53.86\00:15:00.90
AT WORK OR, YOU KNOW, A
NEIGHBOUR. A COLLEAGUE AT
00:15:00.90\00:15:04.50
WORK UNDERMINING US, YOU
KNOW, POTENTIALLY COSTING
00:15:04.50\00:15:05.50
US OUR JOB, THIS IS,
YOU KNOW, HOW WE FEED OUR
00:15:05.50\00:15:10.43
FAMILIES. ARE YOU
SAYING THAT I'M TO LOVE THAT
00:15:10.43\00:15:14.70
PERSON? THAT IS
INTENTIONALLY TRYING TO
00:15:14.70\00:15:15.60
DESTROY MY LIFE? I
MEAN, WAS THAT WAS JESUS WAS
00:15:15.60\00:15:21.46
SAYING? >>PASTOR DAVID:
I THINK THAT THERE ARE TWO
00:15:21.46\00:15:27.26
PARTS I MIGHT WANT TO
FOLLOW UP WITH THAT AND
00:15:27.26\00:15:28.26
THAT IS, NUMBER ONE, WE
CAN'T DO THAT. IF SOMEONE
00:15:28.26\00:15:34.30
WAS DOING THAT AND I
WAS AWARE OF IT, OR SOMEONE
00:15:34.30\00:15:36.83
CUTS IN FRONT OF ME
ON THE HIGHWAY, OR, YOU
00:15:36.83\00:15:37.80
KNOW, WHATEVER, THERE'S A
NATURAL TENDENCY FOR ME TO
00:15:37.80\00:15:39.76
WANT TO REACT OR
RESPOND IN A WAY THAT DOESN'T
00:15:39.76\00:15:42.36
INACT OUT LOVE. SO, FOR
ME, FIRST AND FOREMOST, I
00:15:42.36\00:15:43.40
KNOW THAT I CAN'T DO THIS.
00:15:43.40\00:15:45.36
I CAN'T DO IT ALONE.
00:15:45.36\00:15:45.83
NEED GOD TO HELP ME. I
NEED THE SPIRIT WITHIN ME
00:15:45.83\00:15:49.13
IN A SPIRIT-FILLED LIFE.
00:15:49.13\00:15:49.63
BUT, THE OTHER PART IS
GOD WILL NEVER ASK OF US
00:15:49.63\00:15:55.96
ANYTHING WE CANNOT DO.
00:15:55.96\00:15:56.46
WHEN JESUS - WHEN I
THINK OF WHAT JESUS DID AND HOW
00:15:56.46\00:16:00.13
HE WAS BEATEN AND HOW
HE WAS ABUSED AND YET HE
00:16:00.13\00:16:01.10
COULD HAVE, HE COULD
HAVE FOUGHT, HE COULD HAVE
00:16:01.10\00:16:06.23
CALLED THE ANGELS, HE
COULD HAVE IN A MILLION
00:16:06.23\00:16:10.43
DIFFERENT WAYS RESPONDED
TO RETALIATE BUT HE KNEW
00:16:10.43\00:16:11.40
THAT HIS PLAN NEEDED TO
BE FULFILLED AND HE WENT THE
00:16:11.40\00:16:15.66
DISTANCE. AND HE MODELLED
LOVE THAT IT CAN BE DONE,
00:16:15.66\00:16:19.13
HE MODELLED THAT IT CAN
BE DONE, YOU CAN TURN THE
00:16:19.13\00:16:20.30
OTHER CHEEK, YOU CAN,
YOU CAN REVEAL LOVE IN
00:16:20.30\00:16:23.53
A GOD-LIKE WAY. IT'S
POSSIBLE. >>BILL: WOW.
00:16:23.53\00:16:26.50
>>PASTOR FRANK: THIS
IS WHY I THINK AT TIMES I
00:16:26.50\00:16:27.50
TAKE EXCEPTION TO
PEOPLE WHO SAY, OH, LOVE, WE'RE
00:16:27.50\00:16:31.56
TALKING ABOUT LOVE
AGAIN THAT FLUFFY... >>BILL:
00:16:31.56\00:16:35.16
YEAH, YEAH.
>>PASTOR FRANK:.THAT FLUFFY
00:16:35.16\00:16:36.03
CONCEPT. BECAUSE LOVE
HAS BECOME THAT. BUT REAL
00:16:36.03\00:16:37.73
BIBLICAL LOVE THAT'S THE
MEAT, THAT'S THE HEART OF
00:16:37.73\00:16:42.76
WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT.
00:16:42.76\00:16:43.23
AND IT'S HARD. AND WE'D
RATHER FOCUS ON ALL THESE
00:16:43.23\00:16:45.96
ISOTERIC PASSAGES AND
ALL THESE OUTSIDE THINGS
00:16:45.96\00:16:46.93
THAT'S WHAT'S THE
HEART, THAT'S WHAT'S MOST
00:16:46.93\00:16:50.70
IMPORTANT.>>BILL: RIGHT.
00:16:50.70\00:16:51.16
>>PASTOR FRANK:.BUT
WHEN JESUS IS CALLING, WHAT
00:16:51.16\00:16:53.10
HE'S CALLING US TO IS
HIS TEACHINGS. THIS IS DEEP
00:16:53.10\00:16:55.40
AND THIS DIFFICULT AND
FRANKLY, WHEN YOU REALIZE
00:16:55.40\00:16:56.40
YOU'RE SICK, THAT'S
WHEN YOU'LL GO TO THE DOCTOR
00:16:56.40\00:17:00.63
AND SAY, HELP ME, YOU
KNOW. WHEN YOU'RE THIRSTY,
00:17:00.63\00:17:03.76
THEN YOU'LL ASK FOR DRINK,
FOR WATER. AND SO, YES, AS
00:17:03.76\00:17:04.86
WE LOOK AND WE STUDY
LOVE AND WE REALIZE MORE AND
00:17:04.86\00:17:09.30
MORE THAT I'M DEFICIENT
IN THIS, I DON'T HAVE IN ME.
00:17:09.30\00:17:12.96
LET ME ASK GOD WHO
DOES HAVE IT IN HIM TO COME
00:17:12.96\00:17:14.06
AND DWELL IN ME AND
TO ACTUALLY START THAT
00:17:14.06\00:17:18.40
PROCESS OF TAKING THE
NEXT STEP TO LOVING PEOPLE AND
00:17:18.40\00:17:21.06
TURNING THE OTHER
CHEEK AND DOING THOSE
00:17:21.06\00:17:21.93
THINGS THAT ARE REALLY
TRANSFORMING. THESE ARE
00:17:21.93\00:17:23.90
THE THINGS THAT
WILL TRANSFORM THE EARTH.
00:17:23.90\00:17:25.86
THAT'S WHAT I WAS
THINKING ABOUT.>>BILL: YES.
00:17:25.86\00:17:26.83
>>PASTOR FRANK:.WHEN I
LOOKED AT THESE FRUITS.
00:17:26.83\00:17:29.20
THESE FRUITS ARE KIND
OF THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE.
00:17:29.20\00:17:32.83
EVERYONE THINKS THESE
THINGS ARE GOOD THINGS
00:17:32.83\00:17:33.80
>>BILL: ABSOLUTELY.
00:17:33.80\00:17:35.20
>>PASTOR FRANK: LIKE
SOMEBODY MIGHT NOT BE
00:17:35.20\00:17:36.13
INTERESTED IN HEARING
YOUR BELIEFS AT ALL BUT SHOW
00:17:36.13\00:17:38.00
ME THE PERSON THAT DOESN'T
NEED LOVE. >>BILL: THAT'S
00:17:38.00\00:17:40.20
RIGHT. >>PASTOR FRANK:
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BASIC
00:17:40.20\00:17:41.20
GROUND RULES.>>BILL:
WHO DOESN'T RESPOND
00:17:41.20\00:17:44.16
TO KINDNESS.>>PASTOR
FRANK RIGHT. EXACTLY. >>BILL:.OR
00:17:44.16\00:17:46.06
GENTLENESS. ABSOLUTELY.
00:17:46.06\00:17:46.60
THIS IS A TRANSFORMING,
RIGHT? THAT THERE'S THE
00:17:46.60\00:17:51.83
POWER TO TRANSFORM
OUR COMMUNITIES, OUR HOMES
00:17:51.83\00:17:52.80
WHEN WE AS THE
FOLLOWERS OF A MAN HANGING
00:17:52.80\00:17:55.70
ON A CROSS, SUFFERING
EXCRUCIATING PAIN, HAVING
00:17:55.70\00:18:00.76
BEEN TREATED THE WAY HE
WAS SAYS, 'FATHER, FORGIVE
00:18:00.76\00:18:01.83
THEM FOR THEY KNOW NOT
WHAT THEY DO'. THAT'S THE
00:18:01.83\00:18:05.43
MAN THAT WE CLAIM TO BE
FOLLOWERS, YOU KNOW, OF.
00:18:05.43\00:18:14.40
>>PASTOR DAVID: I
THINK OF JOHN. YOU KNOW,
00:18:14.40\00:18:15.43
HIS NICKNAME, SON
OF THUNDER.>>BILL: YES.
00:18:15.43\00:18:18.33
>>PASTOR DAVID:. THIS
GUY WAS ROUGH. I THINK OF HOW
00:18:18.33\00:18:21.90
HE LIVED AND WALKED. YOU
KNOW, IF SOMETHING DIDN'T
00:18:21.90\00:18:22.90
CONFORM OR COMMUNITY
DIDN'T FOLLOW THE WAY -
00:18:22.90\00:18:25.73
YOU WANT US TO TAKE THEM
OUT.>>BILL: THAT'S RIGHT.
00:18:25.73\00:18:29.23
>>PASTOR DAVID:.WE'LL
BURN THEM, WE'LL TAKE THEM OUT
00:18:29.23\00:18:30.43
I THINK OF THIS ROUGH
GUY AND I THINK BACK AND
00:18:30.43\00:18:32.56
I LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND
I THINK, WOW, MAYBE I'M LIKE
00:18:32.56\00:18:35.16
THAT SOMETIMES TO. BUT
THEN I LOOK AT 1JOHN AND
00:18:35.16\00:18:36.23
I READ WHAT HE WRITES.
00:18:36.23\00:18:39.60
HERE'S THIS ROUGH DUDE,
THIS ROUGH, TOUGH GUY AND
00:18:39.60\00:18:40.63
HE SAYS, YOU KNOW WHAT?
00:18:40.63\00:18:43.70
GOD IS LOVE. >>BILL: YES.
00:18:43.70\00:18:44.36
>>PASTOR DAVID: AND IF
YOU WANT TO KNOW GOD, YOU'VE
00:18:44.36\00:18:47.16
GOT TO LOVE. >>BILL:
RIGHT. >>PASTOR DAVID: AND
00:18:47.16\00:18:48.16
IF YOU LOVE, YOU KNOW GOD.
00:18:48.16\00:18:49.86
>>BILL: THAT'S RIGHT.
00:18:49.86\00:18:50.36
>>PASTOR FRANK: AND
THERE'S THIS AMAZING
00:18:50.36\00:18:52.56
DIALOGUE AND LOVE IS
WRITTEN SO MANY TIMES,
00:18:52.56\00:18:53.50
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE,
LOVE, LOVE. AND HERE'S
00:18:53.50\00:18:55.56
THIS GUY THAT WAS TOTALLY
TRANSFORMED. SO, I SEE IF
00:18:55.56\00:18:57.86
IT CAN HAPPEN TO HIM
THEN THERE'S HOPE FOR ME
00:18:57.86\00:18:58.80
TOO >>BILL: YEAH. IT'S
INCREDIBLE HOW HE REFERS
00:18:58.80\00:19:01.30
TO HIMSELF AS THE DISCIPLE
WHO JESUS LOVED. WE HAVE
00:19:01.30\00:19:05.23
ABOUT TWO MINUTES LEFT.
00:19:05.23\00:19:05.76
OUR TIME JUST ZIPS
RIGHT PAST US. SO, I WANT TO
00:19:05.76\00:19:10.00
GIVE BOTH OF YOU AN
OPPORTUNITY MAYBE TO MAKE
00:19:10.00\00:19:10.96
SOME CLOSING COMMENTS
IN THE LAST COUPLE MINUTES.
00:19:10.96\00:19:14.66
YOU KNOW, PASTOR
FRANK, YOU WANT TO GO FIRST?
00:19:14.66\00:19:18.20
>>PASTOR FRANK: SURE.
JUST WHAT WAS MENTIONED BEFORE
00:19:18.20\00:19:19.26
IS THAT WHEN WE
UNDERSTAND HOW CENTRAL LOVE IS
00:19:19.26\00:19:22.30
TO EVERYTHING, HOW LOVE
IS BASICALLY THE HUB OF WHERE
00:19:22.30\00:19:27.06
EVERYTHING ELSE COMES
AND FITS TOGETHER, ALL THE
00:19:27.06\00:19:28.06
OTHER FRUITS.>>BILL:
THEY ALL FLOW OUT OF LOVE,
00:19:28.06\00:19:30.80
RIGHT? >>PASTOR FRANK:
YEAH. 1CORINTHIANS 13, YOU
00:19:30.80\00:19:32.66
KNOW, IS TALKING
ABOUT LOVE IS, WITHOUT LOVE
00:19:32.66\00:19:33.63
EVERYTHING ELSE IS, KIND
OF, DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING
00:19:33.63\00:19:38.13
BECAUSE LOVE IS THE
ULTIMATE ENDS. AND WHEN WE
00:19:38.13\00:19:41.76
REALIZE THAT AND THEN WE
COMPARE OUR STYLE OF LOVE
00:19:41.76\00:19:42.76
AND HOW WE DO IT AND
HOW CONDITIONAL IT IS AND
00:19:42.76\00:19:47.96
HOW WE OFTEN FALL AND
HOW SELFISH WE GET AND HOW
00:19:47.96\00:19:50.50
QUICKLY WE GET HURT. AND
WHEN WE GET HURT, BOY, WE
00:19:50.50\00:19:51.63
JUST WANT TO GET BACK
AT THAT PERSON THAT'S THE
00:19:51.63\00:19:55.40
TIME WHERE WE, THAT'S THE
TIME THE BIBLE CALLS US TO
00:19:55.40\00:19:57.70
REPENT AND LET'S
ADMIT, ADMIT THAT WE'RE
00:19:57.70\00:19:58.73
NOT AT THAT POINT. IS
CHRISTIANITY KNOWN FOR
00:19:58.73\00:20:01.86
BEING LOVING? OFTEN IT'S
KNOWN FOR EVERYTHING BUT.
00:20:01.86\00:20:08.10
YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT TO
CALL OURSELVES ON THESE
00:20:08.10\00:20:09.10
KINDS OF THINGS AND
SAY, OKAY, THIS IS WHERE GOD
00:20:09.10\00:20:16.23
IS CALLING US TO DO AND
WE OFTEN ARE NOT THERE. LET'S
00:20:16.23\00:20:21.70
ADMIT IT AND LET'S ASK
THE DOCTOR FOR HELP AND LET
00:20:21.70\00:20:22.76
HIM COME INTO OUR LIVES
AND MAKE US TRULY LOVING
00:20:22.76\00:20:24.53
PEOPLE. >>BILL: THANK YOU.
00:20:24.53\00:20:25.06
PASTOR DAVID, ABOUT
45 SECONDS LEFT. >>PASTOR
00:20:25.06\00:20:27.10
DAVID: THE OTHER DAY WHEN
I WAS IN MY OFFICE, IT WAS
00:20:27.10\00:20:28.90
A LITTLE WHILE AGO, MY
SON CAME UP, HE COULDN'T
00:20:28.90\00:20:29.86
SLEEP, SO HE WAS
SITTING ON MY LAP AND I WAS
00:20:29.86\00:20:31.46
REFLECTING ON, DOING
SOME STUDY IN THE BIBLE, JOHN
00:20:31.46\00:20:33.06
3:16. AND THAT LATE
HOUR OF THE EVENING AS I WAS
00:20:33.06\00:20:34.06
REFLECTING ON JOHN 3:16,
HOLDING MY ONLY SON, GAVE
00:20:34.06\00:20:36.70
ME A PICTURE OF HOW
MUCH HE LOVED US. HE SENT HIS
00:20:36.70\00:20:39.50
ONLY SON TO DIE FOR US.
00:20:39.50\00:20:40.03
AND I'M HOLDING MY ONLY
SON AND REALIZING, IS THAT
00:20:40.03\00:20:44.76
SOMETHING I COULD EVER DO?
00:20:44.76\00:20:45.43
TO SEND MY ONLY SON
AWAY, WHAT KIND OF LOVE - SO I
00:20:45.43\00:20:48.20
GOT A GLIMPSE OF HOW
MUCH GOD REALLY LOVED US AND
00:20:48.20\00:20:49.23
RESPONDED TO HIM. WHEN I
THINK, FOR US AND FOR OUR
00:20:49.23\00:20:52.50
VIEWERS JUST TO, THE
BIBLE GIVES US THAT GLIMPSE. IF
00:20:52.50\00:20:56.36
WE CAN KEEP LOOKING
AT JESUS AND HOW MUCH HE
00:20:56.36\00:20:57.40
LOVED US, ACCEPT THAT
FREE OFFER, WE CAN LIVE WITH
00:20:57.40\00:21:00.63
HIM ETERNALLY. I
THINK THAT'S JUST A POWERFUL
00:21:00.63\00:21:02.80
THING. >>BILL: WELL,
THANK YOU. ON MAY THE 2ND, 1962,
00:21:02.80\00:21:03.90
JUST TWO DAYS BEFORE I
WAS BORN, A DRAMATIC ACT
00:21:03.90\00:21:08.63
APPEARED IN THE SAN
FRANSICO EXAMINER. IT
00:21:08.63\00:21:13.10
SAID, 'I DON'T WANT MY
HUSBAND TO DIE IN THE GAS
00:21:13.10\00:21:14.10
CHAMBER FOR A CRIME
HE DID NOT COMMIT. I
00:21:14.10\00:21:18.30
WILL, THEREFORE, OFFER
MY SERVICES FOR TEN YEARS AS

ATTORNEY WHO WILL
DEFEND HIM AND BRING ABOUT
00:21:22.80\00:21:28.30
HIS VINDICATION.' ONE
OF SAN FRANSISCO'S GREATEST
00:21:28.30\00:21:33.40
ATTORNEY'S, VINCENT
HALLEN, READ OF HEARD
00:21:33.40\00:21:34.43
ABOUT THE AD AND CONTACTED
GLADYS KIDD WHO HAD PLACED
00:21:34.43\00:21:37.90
IT. YOU SEE, HER HUSBAND,
ROBERT LEE KIDD, WAS ABOUT
00:21:37.90\00:21:41.33
TO BE TRIED FOR SLAYING
AN ELDERLY ANTIQUE DEALER
00:21:41.33\00:21:42.36
KIDD'S FINGERPRINTS
HAD BEEN FOUND ON A BLOOD
00:21:42.36\00:21:49.33
STAINED SWORD IN THE
VICTIM'S SHOP. DURING THE
00:21:49.33\00:21:52.60
TRIAL, HALLEN, PROVED
THAT THE ANTIQUE DEALER HAD NOT
00:21:52.60\00:21:53.70
BEEN KILLED BY THE
SWORD AND THAT KIDD'S
00:21:53.70\00:21:58.56
FINGERPRINTS AND
BLOOD ON THE SWORD GOT THERE
00:21:58.56\00:22:02.20
BECAUSE KIDD HAD
ONCE TOYED WITH IT WHILE
00:22:02.20\00:22:03.03
PLAYFULLY DUELING WITH A
FRIEND WHEN THEY WERE BOTH
00:22:03.03\00:22:07.30
OUT SHOPPING. WELL, THE
JURY DELIBERATED AND AFTER
00:22:07.30\00:22:11.36
11 HOURS THEY FOUND KIDD
TO BE NOT GUILTY. ATTORNEY
00:22:11.36\00:22:12.40
HALLEN REFUSED GLADYS
KIDDS OFFER OF TEN YEARS
00:22:12.40\00:22:18.56
OF SERVITUDE. PASTOR
DAVE, WOULD YOU PRAY WITH OUR
00:22:18.56\00:22:26.30
VIEWERS. >>PASTOR DAVE:
LET'S PRAY. FATHER, THANK
00:22:26.30\00:22:27.33
YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU HAVE
DONE TO REMIND US, TO SHOW
00:22:27.33\00:22:31.23
US OF HOW MUCH YOU
LOVE US. THANK YOU FOR GOING
00:22:31.23\00:22:37.96
THE DISTANCE SO MANY
TIMES WHEN WE WERE UNLOVABLE
00:22:37.96\00:22:39.00
BUT BECAUSE YOU LOVED
US YOU'VE MODELLED IT FOR
00:22:39.00\00:22:42.56
US AND GOD I PRAY BY
YOUR SPIRIT THAT YOU MIGHT
00:22:42.56\00:22:45.83
CONTINUE TO TEACH US
HOW TO LOVE YOU AND HOW TO
00:22:45.83\00:22:46.80
LOVE OTHERS. BLESS OUR
VIEWERS, FATHER, EVERYONE
00:22:46.80\00:22:52.00
THAT'S BEEN WITH US TODAY
AND LORD, WE JUST PRAY, WE
00:22:52.00\00:22:56.93
LOOK FORWARD TO THE
DAY WHEN WE SEE YOU FACE TO
00:22:56.93\00:22:57.96
FACE. WE THANK
YOU SO MUCH. IN JESUS'
00:22:57.96\00:22:59.66
NAME WE PRAY. AMEN.
00:22:59.66\00:23:01.83
Hi, everyone! When was
the last time you stopped
00:23:36.13\00:23:37.13
to smell the roses? Or
to bask in the glow of a
00:23:37.13\00:23:41.10
gorgeous sunset? Or, have
you gone for a walk around
00:23:41.10\00:23:45.26
your neighbourhood
lately and admired your
00:23:45.26\00:23:46.20
neighbour's gardens? In
our fast-paced society, we
00:23:46.20\00:23:49.76
seem to be always
jumping from one thing to the
00:23:49.76\00:23:53.36
next, with barely
enough time to catch our breath
00:23:53.36\00:23:54.33
in between. Instead of
living a wonderful life
00:23:54.33\00:23:56.86
of God-given abundance,
we are too often living a
00:23:56.86\00:24:01.13
life of busy-ness.
How can you live a life
00:24:01.13\00:24:02.06
of abundance? Living
abundantly means savouring
00:24:02.06\00:24:07.56
every single miraculous
minute that God blesses us
00:24:07.56\00:24:11.86
with. There's a
wonderful saying, "Engage every
00:24:11.86\00:24:12.86
area of your life for
successful living." I want
00:24:12.86\00:24:17.00
to change that just a
tiny bit to "Engage every area
00:24:17.00\00:24:22.40
of your life for abundant
living." When we cram our
00:24:22.40\00:24:23.43
lives with too much
stuff and too many activities,
00:24:23.43\00:24:28.43
we can actually shut
off access to hearing God's
00:24:28.43\00:24:33.00
still small voice. We
need to learn to mindfully
00:24:33.00\00:24:34.03
balance all aspects of
our lives so that we can enjoy
00:24:34.03\00:24:39.53
the abundance God wants
to offer us. We can live
00:24:39.53\00:24:44.10
abundantly by: eating
only those foods that are going
00:24:44.10\00:24:45.20
to build up our bodies
and our minds. Vegetables, in
00:24:45.20\00:24:50.26
particular, are
powerful for optimal health. Of
00:24:50.26\00:24:56.20
course, fruits, beans,
grains, nuts, and seeds
00:24:56.20\00:24:57.20
complete our nutritional
needs. But, try to eat
00:24:57.20\00:25:01.63
as many raw vegetables
as possible, and be sure to
00:25:01.63\00:25:06.20
chew your food really,
really well to extract as
00:25:06.20\00:25:07.30
much nutrition as you can.
00:25:07.30\00:25:10.40
Live abundantly by
being physically active. Keep
00:25:10.40\00:25:11.50
your walking shoes by
the front door to remind you
00:25:11.50\00:25:16.13
to get outside each and
every day. Being physical
00:25:16.13\00:25:21.16
in the great outdoors
is a fantastic way to: make
00:25:21.16\00:25:22.26
vitamin D, increase
your lung capacity, and tone
00:25:22.26\00:25:26.53
up your muscles. Three
for the price of one! You can
00:25:26.53\00:25:30.73
live abundantly if you
get some sleep! Our bodies
00:25:30.73\00:25:31.76
typically need
between 7 to 8 hours of sleep
00:25:31.76\00:25:37.73
nightly. You'll find
that you function so much
00:25:37.73\00:25:42.00
better - and you'll
look better too - when
00:25:42.00\00:25:42.93
your body has rested
sufficiently. As well,
00:25:42.93\00:25:46.56
remember that your body
is made up of around 70%
00:25:46.56\00:25:51.10
water and that you
need to replenish your water
00:25:51.10\00:25:52.13
supply often. Upwards
of 8 cups of water daily is
00:25:52.13\00:25:55.30
generally a good idea
and a great way to help you
00:25:55.30\00:26:00.10
live abundantly. It's
good for us to have meaningful
00:26:00.10\00:26:01.16
labour to keep our
bodies and minds strong, but
00:26:01.16\00:26:06.90
remember to set aside
an abundance of time to
00:26:06.90\00:26:10.63
nurture your relationships
with family and friends.
00:26:10.63\00:26:11.66
And, finally,
remember, God loves you with an
00:26:11.66\00:26:16.03
everlasting love, and
He wants you to be in the
00:26:16.03\00:26:20.30
very best of health.
Get to know Him better. He
00:26:20.30\00:26:21.26
wants you to have life,
and He wants you to have
00:26:21.26\00:26:24.56
it how? More abundantly!
00:26:24.56\00:26:25.03
I love that! Live
abundantly. And, I'll
00:26:25.03\00:26:31.13
see you next time.
