>>Chris: A Northern California
couple by the name of John and
00:00:38.73\00:00:41.83
Mary were on their daily walk
with their dog, they had taken
that same route for their
00:00:41.83\00:00:46.53
walk for years. As they
walked along their property they
00:00:46.53\00:00:49.93
noticed something sticking out
of the ground. It looked like a
rusty can, but they
00:00:49.93\00:00:54.16
weren't sure. They hadn't
noticed it before, but today
00:00:54.16\00:00:57.70
they saw it and it intrigued
them. They began to dig around
the object and eventually
00:00:57.70\00:01:03.93
unearthed 8 rusty cans. While
that may not seem much of a
find, it was the contents of
00:01:03.93\00:01:09.23
those metal cans that was truly
amazing. What they found might
00:01:09.23\00:01:14.20
well be the greatest buried
treasures ever found in the
United States. They found a
00:01:14.20\00:01:19.23
cache of 1400 rare 19th century
coins and it is estimated to be
worth more than $10
00:01:19.23\00:01:26.46
million US dollars. No one knows
exactly how they got there. Some
00:01:26.46\00:01:32.50
had thought it was money from a
bank robbery. However, that
theory has been proven
00:01:32.50\00:01:35.66
false. It's seems that someone
just buried these coins and died
00:01:35.66\00:01:41.16
before they let
anyone know where they were.
00:01:41.16\00:01:44.76
Is it possible that we are
sitting on a buried treasure?
00:01:45.76\00:01:49.16
Could it be that this "pot of
gold" as it was, could teach us
a lesson in how we might be
00:01:49.16\00:01:54.70
ready for the return of Jesus?
In Matthew 25 there are three
00:01:54.70\00:01:59.20
parables, each of these parables
demonstrating the answer to
Jesus' call to watch
00:01:59.20\00:02:04.20
and be ready from Matthew 24.
Today, we look at the second of
00:02:04.20\00:02:10.10
those parables. In Matthew
25 beginning in verse 14 it says
00:02:10.10\00:02:23.86
these words, The KJV and the
NKJV use the phrase, "kingdom of
heaven " now notice it is
00:02:34.63\00:02:44.00
in italics. What that simply
means, is that in the original
00:02:44.00\00:02:49.63
Greek these words don't actually
appear. What the translators
00:02:49.63\00:02:54.30
have done is inserted these
words to clarify the meaning.
Newer versions of the Bible use
00:02:54.30\00:02:58.13
the word it. This is in fact
what the original Greek text
00:02:58.13\00:03:04.80
uses. Why make such a big deal
about such a small issue. By
using the word it, Jesus is
00:03:04.80\00:03:12.43
drawing us back to the parable
just previous to this parable.
00:03:12.43\00:03:18.73
In a previous program we studied
verses 1-13 and saw that Jesus
00:03:18.73\00:03:21.86
is talking about the kingdom of
God in the parable of the ten
virgins. This is important
00:03:21.86\00:03:26.80
to note because Jesus, by using
the word "it", points us back to
00:03:26.80\00:03:32.16
this first parable, which
discusses our personal readiness
00:03:32.16\00:03:36.13
and accountability. All three
parables are connected; in fact
00:03:36.13\00:03:41.96
they are all connected to Jesus'
words of Matthew 24. This is not
00:03:41.96\00:03:47.43
just a series of individual
counsels strung together. Jesus
wants us to be clear in
00:03:47.43\00:03:52.83
understanding the factors
related to our being ready for
00:03:52.83\00:04:00.23
His return. As we look at this
parable - and remember parables
are stories that are often
00:04:01.30\00:04:05.76
metaphorical or symbolic in
nature - in this parable the
00:04:05.76\00:04:10.16
master going on a journey is
representative of Jesus Christ
00:04:10.16\00:04:14.60
and is a reference to His
departure and soon return. Let's
continue with the parable, in
00:04:14.60\00:04:20.66
verse 15:
00:04:20.66\00:04:22.33
As we analyze what this parable
is saying, we look deeper into
00:04:33.36\00:04:38.20
some of the words, so we might
better understand. The word
ability is the Greek word
00:04:38.20\00:04:43.56
Dunamis. It means strength or
power. In the KJV, it is often
00:04:43.56\00:04:50.70
translated as "mighty works."
However, when dunamis is used it
is often used in association
00:04:50.70\00:04:56.06
with God's power and His
strength, especially the power
of the Holy Spirit.
00:04:56.06\00:05:02.46
This gives us the sense that
although these servants have
00:05:02.46\00:05:05.70
been given according to their
personal ability, that these
abilities themselves
00:05:05.70\00:05:09.43
are a God-given attributes
00:05:09.43\00:05:13.43
The master gave them talents,
according to their ability. The
00:05:13.96\00:05:17.53
talent in New Testament times
was both a weight of measure and
a coin. Here in this
00:05:17.53\00:05:24.36
parable, as we will see in just
a moment, there is no question
00:05:24.36\00:05:28.86
that it is referring to the
coin. And just to help us in our
understanding of the
00:05:28.86\00:05:33.86
parable, the value of such coin
in today's money would be worth
00:05:33.86\00:05:38.23
approximately $4700.00. However,
our concern should be the value
00:05:38.23\00:05:43.46
of a talent in New Testament
times. Please follow me we're
00:05:43.46\00:05:47.90
going to do just a little math.
In the New Testament what is the
daily wage? In Matthew
00:05:47.90\00:05:55.53
20:2 it talks about a day's wage
being one penny or denarius. The
00:05:55.53\00:06:10.96
talent, in New Testament times,
was worth about 6,000 denarii.
00:06:10.96\00:06:15.23
If we figure 300 working days
per year, for weekends and the
such, that means that the slave
00:06:15.23\00:06:21.03
who received only one talent
received almost 20 years worth
00:06:21.03\00:06:28.66
of wages. To the one who
received two almost 40 years
worth of wages and to the one
00:06:28.66\00:06:34.80
who received five, almost 100
years worth of wages. Friends,
00:06:34.80\00:06:42.46
this was no small sum of
money. Just one talent was of
00:06:42.46\00:06:48.56
significant value. As we journey
through this parable, we will
see that the talent is symbolic
00:06:49.70\00:06:54.43
of the skills and abilities God
has given us to grow His
kingdom. After giving
00:06:54.43\00:06:59.03
each of the servants their
talents, the master leaves for a
00:06:59.03\00:07:04.63
journey. The point that is very
clear as we begin this passage
is that: Everyone is given
00:07:04.63\00:07:10.33
some gift or skill in accordance
with his ability- which was
00:07:10.33\00:07:15.20
given by God for expanding His
kingdom Let's get further into
00:07:15.20\00:07:20.60
the parable Verses 16-18
00:07:20.60\00:07:23.26
Here we draw another point,
it seems clear that: There is an
00:07:46.03\00:07:50.73
expectation that we are to
utilize the gift or gifts given
00:07:50.73\00:07:55.70
to us by God. In verse 16 it
simply says, "then", in more
modern versions it says
00:07:55.70\00:08:01.36
"immediately." The Greek
literally says that he went
00:08:01.36\00:08:08.10
without delay. The one who
received the five talents
immediately utilized those gifts
00:08:08.10\00:08:12.83
and the passage says the one
with two did likewise. The
passage also says, "he
00:08:12.83\00:08:19.70
traded" with them. Quite
literally it means he invested
00:08:19.70\00:08:24.20
them, made them work for him.
Although the text does not
plainly indicate instructions
00:08:24.20\00:08:29.23
from the master, these first two
servants knew that these talents
00:08:29.23\00:08:33.73
were to be put to use. They were
to be taken to the marketplace
00:08:33.73\00:08:37.93
and profited on. However, the
third slave does something very
interesting, he goes, digs
00:08:37.93\00:08:44.86
a hole and hides the money in
the ground. He does nothing with
00:08:44.86\00:08:51.03
the talents but rather stores
them up. The parable continues
00:08:51.03\00:08:56.30
in verse 19 The passage begins
by referring to the master
returning to settle
00:09:48.00\00:09:52.16
accounts. The King James says
he reckoneth. The idea, clearly
00:09:52.16\00:09:59.26
being conveyed is that of
settling accounts. The master
00:09:59.26\00:10:05.03
came to see how they used what
he had given them. But verse 24
tells us about the servant
00:10:05.03\00:10:11.16
who received one talent,
00:10:11.16\00:10:14.83
The third key point or principle
from this text is that a part of
00:11:21.03\00:11:24.46
the judgment of God will be
based upon how we utilized our
gifts. But the promise
00:11:24.46\00:11:29.86
of hope is that the joy of the
Lord awaits those who obey and
00:11:29.86\00:11:35.16
use their gifts. And there is no
difference from the one who
received 5 or 2. They received
00:11:35.16\00:11:38.63
the same reward. Friends, as we
look for hope in this helpless
00:11:38.63\00:11:43.56
and hopeless world - God has
places us to be a beacon of hope
in this dark place He's given
00:11:43.56\00:11:50.20
us each gifts. Maybe its money
- how are we blessing the world
00:11:50.20\00:11:59.46
around us with this gift from
God? Maybe He's given the
ability to cook or bake,
00:11:59.46\00:12:03.43
what are we doing with that
ability given by God to bless
00:12:03.43\00:12:09.60
the world. How about something
as simple as time - what are we
doing with our time to
00:12:09.60\00:12:16.23
bless those around us? Jesus
has a wonderful place of hope
00:12:16.23\00:12:24.93
prepared for us. He wants you to
be there, but He desires those
00:12:24.93\00:12:29.56
around you to be there. How are
you using the gifts, talents and
abilities to prepare those
00:12:29.56\00:12:36.03
around you for the second coming
of Jesus? Today friend, do you
00:12:36.03\00:12:40.36
want to offer your life to
Jesus. Do you want to offer your
life for His glory and to
00:12:40.36\00:12:44.66
expand His kingdom? Do you want
to be used as a tool to bring
00:12:44.66\00:12:49.93
hope to this helpless and
hopeless planet? Why don't you
listen to this song, Lord
00:12:49.93\00:12:55.00
I Offer my Life to You, and as
you hear the song, why don't you
00:12:55.00\00:13:01.30
say in your own heart,
"Lord, I offer my life to you"?
00:13:01.30\00:13:07.23
All that I am, all that I have
00:13:09.63\00:13:15.63
I lay them down
before you, oh Lord
00:13:16.03\00:13:22.26
All my regrets, all my acclaims
00:13:22.60\00:13:28.46
The joy and the
pain, I'm making them yours
00:13:28.73\00:13:36.83
Lord, I offer my life to you
00:13:37.10\00:13:41.20
Everything I've been through
00:13:41.56\00:13:45.83
Use it for your glory
00:13:46.26\00:13:49.13
Lord I offer my days to you
00:13:49.46\00:13:53.66
Lifting my praise to you
00:13:54.03\00:13:59.00
As a pleasing sacrifice
00:13:59.30\00:14:04.93
Lord I offer you my life
00:14:05.23\00:14:12.53
Things in the
past, things yet unseen
00:14:15.26\00:14:20.83
Wishes and dreams
that are yet to come true
00:14:21.20\00:14:27.36
All of my hopes
and all of my plans
00:14:27.70\00:14:33.66
My heart and my
hands are lifted to you
00:14:34.03\00:14:44.63
Lord, I offer my life to you
00:14:44.96\00:14:49.46
Everything I've been through
00:14:49.80\00:14:53.83
Use it for your glory
00:14:54.23\00:14:57.00
Lord I offer my days to you
00:14:57.36\00:15:01.73
Lifting my praise to you
00:15:02.06\00:15:06.30
As a pleasing sacrifice
00:15:06.63\00:15:12.53
Lord I offer you my life
00:15:12.83\00:15:19.33
Lord I offer you my life
00:15:19.73\00:15:26.90
My life
00:15:33.90\00:15:38.53
>>Chris: Lord, I offer my life
to you. Is that the prayer of
00:15:41.60\00:15:46.20
your heart today? Jesus is
looking for a people who receive
his Word, who are filled
00:15:46.20\00:15:53.70
with his Word, who are filled
with the Holy Spirit. But then
00:15:53.70\00:15:58.96
in turn, they bless others and
they give. Notice what James
chapter 1 and verse 22
00:15:58.96\00:16:07.63
says. James
chapter 1 and verse 22.
00:16:07.63\00:16:10.53
Did you hear those words? Jesus
is calling us to not just be
00:16:30.73\00:16:36.56
receivers or hearers of the
Word, but also to be doers.
People who receive the Word.
00:16:36.56\00:16:41.66
don't misunderstand what I'm
saying, by the way. Reading the
00:16:41.66\00:16:46.30
scripture, hearing the
scripture, is of utmost
importance to the Christian,
00:16:46.30\00:16:52.26
because as we read the
scripture, it shows us the way
of salvation. It is our
00:16:52.26\00:16:55.46
roadmap. But as we read the
scriptures, it should lead us to
00:16:55.46\00:17:01.86
do something, to take action.
You know, there's that old
saying, "Actions speak louder
00:17:01.86\00:17:06.53
than words." That's what Jesus
is looking for. People of
action. People who have
00:17:06.53\00:17:12.86
received from Jesus through
his Word, but then they act upon
00:17:12.86\00:17:18.50
their faith. There was a book
recently written entitled
Unchristian. And the book
00:17:18.50\00:17:25.36
studied people who are not
Christians and their attitudes
00:17:25.36\00:17:29.96
toward Christians and toward
Christianity. What did they
find? They found that
00:17:29.96\00:17:35.76
many people saw great hypocrisy.
People who proclaimed one thing
00:17:35.76\00:17:42.60
but did another. How do we
change that? There was a man who
00:17:42.60\00:17:49.86
once wrote that the strongest
argument against Christianity is
Christians. Their lack of
00:17:49.86\00:17:55.60
joy, their lack of hope, their
lack of action. But that same
00:17:55.60\00:18:01.76
man wrote that the strongest
argument for Christianity is
Christians. Christians who
00:18:01.76\00:18:09.46
act upon their faith. The
counsel of the Word is that we
00:18:09.46\00:18:14.90
need to be both hearers and
doers. Have you offered your
life to Jesus and said, "Jesus,
00:18:14.90\00:18:24.66
I want to be a doer, not just
a hearer of your Word"? How do
00:18:24.66\00:18:31.83
your neighbours think of you?
How do your coworkers think of
00:18:31.83\00:18:36.13
you? How does the young lady at
the grocery store or the young
man at the grocery store who is
00:18:36.13\00:18:40.96
serving you, what do they think
of you? How do they feel about
00:18:40.96\00:18:48.53
you? Is it possible, friend,
that our actions do speak louder
than our words and that
00:18:48.53\00:18:54.33
our actions are saying that we
really don't have Jesus fully in
00:18:54.33\00:19:01.23
our life? Jesus is calling
today. And he's saying, "I've
given you talents. I've
00:19:01.23\00:19:08.23
given you gifts. I've given you
abilities. And I've given each
00:19:08.23\00:19:11.40
of those so that you might bless
the world around you." Today,
friend, do you want
00:19:11.40\00:19:18.66
to offer your life to Jesus?
Let's pray Heavenly father, we
00:19:18.66\00:19:25.13
come, we offer our life to you.
Help us to be doers and not just
00:19:25.13\00:19:32.23
hearers of your word. This
is our prayer in Jesus' name.
00:19:32.23\00:19:36.33
Hi, everyone. I think we all
know that it's important for us
00:20:11.16\00:20:14.90
to stay active, and yet,
research shows that perhaps only
00:20:14.90\00:20:18.93
around 20% of the population
makes a conscious effort to keep
physically fit. Well,
00:20:18.93\00:20:23.36
today, I've got a surprise for
you in the form of
physiotherapist Andrew
00:20:23.36\00:20:28.06
Conroy who is here with me,
and he's going to share some
00:20:28.06\00:20:32.13
insights about the importance of
keeping physically active.
Andrew, welcome. ANDREW: Thanks
00:20:32.13\00:20:37.60
for having me, Bev. BEV:
Absolutely. Andrew, there are a
00:20:37.60\00:20:40.33
lot of reasons why people don't
stay physically fit. What's so
important about exercise?
00:20:40.33\00:20:45.13
ANDREW: Well, our bodies are
made to move, Bev. And when we
00:20:45.13\00:20:49.13
do move regularly, our heart
improves, it becomes a more
powerful pump; we retain the
00:20:49.13\00:20:53.43
minerals in our skeletal
structure so that we don't have
00:20:53.43\00:20:57.30
weakening of the bones; we'll
see our blood pressure profile
drop and improve; we'll see
00:20:57.30\00:21:01.73
cholesterol levels improve as
well. Mood can improve and our
00:21:01.73\00:21:06.10
stress levels can be dropped.
And some of the troublesome
enzymes that run through our
00:21:06.10\00:21:10.06
system can be improved upon as
we walk regularly. So overall,
00:21:10.06\00:21:14.80
we're going to feel more
energized and just see some of
that stress drop out of our
00:21:14.80\00:21:18.30
lives. BEV: Fantastic. You
mentioned walking. Walking is an
00:21:18.30\00:21:23.40
excellent way for people to keep
physically fit. What are some of
the benefits of just walking?
00:21:23.40\00:21:27.43
ANDREW: Some of the benefits.
Well, first of all, it's a
00:21:27.43\00:21:31.16
benefit to all. It's available
to all. It's cheap start-up. You
can slot it into any
00:21:31.16\00:21:35.20
part of your day without using
up too much time in these
pressure-packed days
00:21:35.20\00:21:40.26
that we live in. So walking is
just the perfect undertaking for
00:21:40.26\00:21:43.73
anyone that has perhaps not
exercised regularly for a while,
00:21:43.73\00:21:50.93
and led a sedentary life. BEV:
That's true. So starting small
00:21:50.93\00:21:54.63
with the walking. ANDREW: Right,
right. BEV: Talking about what
00:21:54.63\00:21:57.90
we wear when we're walking.
Outerwear, shoes. ANDREW: Okay.
well, I'll start with clothing.
00:21:57.90\00:22:03.90
You know, a common choice is
cotton t-shirts, and there is a
00:22:03.90\00:22:08.66
problem with that: when cotton
becomes damp, it becomes cold
and loses its insulating
00:22:08.66\00:22:13.93
properties. So a lot of products
on the market these days include
00:22:13.93\00:22:18.96
COOLMAX-type synthetic clothing
which wicks sweat away, and
we've all heard of that.
00:22:18.96\00:22:22.86
So they make great
undergarments. Up against that
in a middle layer, we
00:22:22.86\00:22:26.96
could choose a fleece, which
would keep us nicely insulated
00:22:26.96\00:22:29.80
as the temperatures drop. And
finally, a shell for when the
days are windier. And
00:22:29.80\00:22:33.86
of course, gloves or head
protection if the temperatures
00:22:33.86\00:22:38.13
really come down. BEV: Right.
I've heard there's a saying,
"There's no inclement
00:22:38.13\00:22:40.66
weather; there's only bad
clothing." ANDREW: Well,
correct. BEV: Let's talk
00:22:40.66\00:22:44.26
about running shoes or walking
shoes. ANDREW Right. BEV: You've
00:22:44.26\00:22:47.96
got one to show us? ANDREW: I
did bring one along. And you
make an interesting
00:22:47.96\00:22:50.93
point, Bev. A running shoe does
not work so well as a walking
00:22:50.93\00:22:54.40
shoe. BEV: Right, and I've got a
running shoe on. ANDREW: That's
correct. The high heel
00:22:54.40\00:22:57.10
counter of a running shoe tends
to cause the foot to slap down
00:22:57.10\00:23:01.96
and cause fatigue in the front
of the shin muscles here. What
you're looking for in
00:23:01.96\00:23:07.26
a walking shoe is a flexible
midsole, just where your foot
00:23:07.26\00:23:13.83
happens to bend naturally as
well. You're looking for a
little twist and an
00:23:13.83\00:23:16.60
ability to twist, which is
also part of the natural walking
00:23:16.60\00:23:21.43
pattern. You're looking for a
nice wide toe box with a little
bit of height so that your
00:23:21.43\00:23:25.06
feet can move within that just
comfortably. You know, one tip
00:23:25.06\00:23:29.50
is when you're going to get some
walking shoes, go beyond about
00:23:29.50\00:23:34.30
midday and afterwards when
you've been up on your feet.
Your feet will spread and swell
00:23:34.30\00:23:37.06
a little bit so you will find
that you will get a better fit
00:23:37.06\00:23:40.66
if you're buying a shoe later in
the day. And do make sure that
you take the sort of socks
00:23:40.66\00:23:45.46
that you're going to wear in
that shoe. Thicker socks should
00:23:45.46\00:23:50.50
be worn at the time of purchase
so that you just make sure you
get that comfortable
00:23:50.50\00:23:53.06
and perfect fit that you're
going to need. BEV: Right. And
00:23:53.06\00:23:56.16
if you wear orthotics, should
your orthotics go in there?
00:23:56.16\00:23:59.26
ANDREW: Orthotics can go in
there as well. It is good, then,
to buy a shoe that has a
00:23:59.26\00:24:03.83
removable insert at first. If
you try and put your orthotics
on top of a pre-existing
00:24:03.83\00:24:08.46
insert, you'll often find they
won't fit and your foot will
00:24:08.46\00:24:14.56
bind. So make sure that the
initial, original insert does
come out first. BEV: Okay,
00:24:14.56\00:24:18.53
fantastic. Really quickly,
stretching. Yes or no? It's a
00:24:18.53\00:24:22.20
good thing to do? ANDREW:
Stretching is a great thing to
do. I am particularly in favour
00:24:22.20\00:24:26.60
of stretching after. The muscles
have been warmed up, they've
00:24:26.60\00:24:29.36
been exercised, and that's when
they will tighten up, after an
00:24:29.36\00:24:33.36
exercise. So I would recommend a
nice warm-up, just gradually
picking up your speed
00:24:33.36\00:24:38.30
during the walk, but the
stretching comes after. And that
00:24:38.30\00:24:41.66
will avoid any post-exercise
stiffness or soreness. BEV: All
right. So show us some good
00:24:41.66\00:24:46.76
walking form. What do we need to
be aware of when we're walking?
00:24:46.76\00:24:50.20
ANDREW: You'd think it would
be straightforward, but there's
00:24:50.20\00:24:52.43
some common errors. The first
thing I would be looking for, if
you can just face this
00:24:52.43\00:24:57.70
way. I would be looking for
head position. It is the most
00:24:57.70\00:25:00.16
critical thing. Whatever your
head does, the rest of your body
will follow. So we're looking
00:25:00.16\00:25:03.83
for a nice upright head
position. Always think of
keeping the chin parallel
00:25:03.83\00:25:08.66
to the floor. When you are
watching where you're going,
00:25:08.66\00:25:12.13
your eyes can swivel and look
several feet ahead. You want to
keep the chest bone up
00:25:12.13\00:25:15.70
here, slightly elevated, so
you're standing up nice and
tall. Arm position is
00:25:15.70\00:25:21.06
going to swing forwards and
backwards, up to about chest
00:25:21.06\00:25:25.06
height. A common error, Bev, is
to come up too high with the
swing. It will actually slow
00:25:25.06\00:25:29.00
your style down and throw off a
smooth walking pattern. And the
00:25:29.00\00:25:36.43
final thing I would say, and a
common mistake, is overstepping.
It will actually slow you
00:25:36.43\00:25:41.46
down and now you have to
pole-vault over a leg that's
00:25:41.46\00:25:46.30
been stretched out far away. So
don't stretch too far ahead,
goose-stepping, as we call
00:25:46.30\00:25:51.03
it. BEV: So just a small step,
kind of thing. ANDREW: Smaller,
00:25:51.03\00:25:55.06
more rapid steps are far better.
BEV: All right, fantastic. Just
00:25:55.06\00:25:58.96
briefly, eating pre- and post-?
ANDREW: You know, walking is an
endurance exercise.
00:25:58.96\00:26:04.13
You're going to need some fuel.
Ideally, 30 to 60, perhaps 90
00:26:04.13\00:26:09.16
minutes before, take on
some carbohydrates, perhaps some
00:26:09.16\00:26:13.93
juice, a banana is ideal,
perhaps a low-fat bagel or a
low-fat yogurt, just to have
00:26:13.93\00:26:18.46
some fuel reserve so that you
don't run out of energy midway
through the exercise and
00:26:18.46\00:26:22.33
have to shorten your exercise.
The other thing is, if you
00:26:22.33\00:26:25.40
overeat too soon, you're going
to feel uncomfortable. Your
diaphragm can't drop and
00:26:25.40\00:26:28.93
you can't breathe easily. BEV:
Wow, okay, fantastic. Andrew,
00:26:28.93\00:26:32.50
thank you for those helpful
tips. And I hope you will be
encouraged to work some
00:26:32.50\00:26:36.36
physical activity into your
everyday living. Andrew says
00:26:36.36\00:26:39.76
it's important.
I'll see you next time.
