To God be the glory
great things He hath done
00:00:33.90\00:00:39.77
So loved He the world
that He gave us His Son
00:00:39.80\00:00:46.31
Who yielded His
life an atonement for sin
00:00:46.34\00:00:52.31
And opened the life
gate that all may go in

O, come to the
Father Through Jesus the Son
00:01:11.63\00:01:17.44
And give Him the glory
00:01:17.47\00:01:20.74
Great things He hath done
00:01:20.78\00:01:26.08
Great things He hath taught
us Great things He hath done
00:01:26.11\00:01:32.39
And great our
rejoicing through Jesus the Son
00:01:32.42\00:01:38.83
But purer, and
higher, and greater will be
00:01:38.86\00:01:45.63
Our wonder, our
transport When Jesus we see
00:01:45.67\00:01:52.77
Praise the Lord praise the Lord
00:01:52.81\00:01:56.61
Let the earth hear His voice

Praise the Lord praise the Lord
00:01:59.85\00:02:03.05
Let the people rejoice
00:02:03.08\00:02:06.35
O, come to the
Father Through Jesus the Son
00:02:06.39\00:02:12.66
And give Him the
glory Great things
00:02:12.69\00:02:17.50
He hath done.

Oh, draw me
00:06:48.84\00:06:54.18
Lord
00:06:54.21\00:06:57.31
Oh, draw me
00:06:57.35\00:07:02.52
Lord
00:07:02.55\00:07:05.79
Oh, draw me
00:07:05.82\00:07:10.93
Lord
00:07:10.96\00:07:14.30
And I'll run
00:07:14.33\00:07:18.40
After You
00:07:18.43\00:07:23.04
Oh, draw me
00:07:23.07\00:07:28.48
Lord
00:07:28.51\00:07:31.81
Oh, draw me
00:07:31.85\00:07:37.32
Lord
00:07:37.35\00:07:40.86
Oh, draw me
00:07:40.89\00:07:46.19
Lord
00:07:46.23\00:07:49.50
And I'll run
00:07:49.53\00:07:53.80
After You
00:07:53.84\00:07:58.31

00:08:11.99\00:08:14.96
Oh, draw me
00:08:14.99\00:08:20.23
Lord
00:08:20.26\00:08:23.37
And I'll run
00:08:23.40\00:08:27.70
After You
00:08:27.74\00:08:32.34
Oh, draw me
00:08:32.37\00:08:36.75
Lord
00:08:36.78\00:08:39.91
Oh, draw me

Lord
00:08:52.96\00:08:56.20
And I'll run
00:08:56.23\00:09:00.60
After You
00:09:00.64\00:09:06.41
Jesus, I've forgotten
00:09:20.92\00:09:24.19
The words that You have spoken
00:09:24.23\00:09:28.96
Promises that
burned within my heart
00:09:29.00\00:09:33.17
Have now grown dim
00:09:33.20\00:09:36.10
With a doubting heart I follow
00:09:36.14\00:09:40.31
The paths of earthly wisdom
00:09:40.34\00:09:44.78
Forgive me for my unbelief,
00:09:44.81\00:09:48.18
Renew the fire again
00:09:48.22\00:09:54.36
Lord have mercy
00:09:54.39\00:09:58.39
Christ have mercy
00:09:58.43\00:10:02.46
Lord have mercy
00:10:02.50\00:10:06.57
On me
00:10:06.60\00:10:10.71
Lord have mercy
00:10:10.74\00:10:14.54
Christ have mercy
00:10:14.58\00:10:18.68
Lord have mercy
00:10:18.71\00:10:22.75
On me
00:10:22.78\00:10:29.49
I have built an altar
00:10:29.52\00:10:32.46
Where I worship things of men
00:10:32.49\00:10:37.43
I have taken journeys
00:10:37.47\00:10:40.20
That have drawn me far from You
00:10:40.24\00:10:45.17
Now I am returning
00:10:45.21\00:10:48.18
To Your mercies ever flowing
00:10:48.21\00:10:53.01
Pardon my transgressions
00:10:53.05\00:10:55.95
Help me love You again
00:10:55.98\00:11:02.22
Lord have mercy
00:11:02.26\00:11:06.13
Christ have mercy
00:11:06.16\00:11:10.03
Lord have mercy
00:11:10.07\00:11:14.04
On me
00:11:14.07\00:11:17.61
Lord have mercy
00:11:17.64\00:11:21.58
Christ have mercy
00:11:21.61\00:11:25.55
Lord have mercy
00:11:25.58\00:11:29.55
On me
00:11:29.58\00:11:33.49
I have longed to know You
00:11:53.34\00:11:56.58
And all Your tender mercies
00:11:56.61\00:12:00.22
Like a river of forgiveness
00:12:00.25\00:12:03.99
Ever flowing without end
00:12:04.02\00:12:07.76
So I bow my heart before You
00:12:07.79\00:12:11.56
In the goodness of Your presence
00:12:11.59\00:12:15.66
Your grace forever shining
00:12:15.70\00:12:19.20
Like a beacon in the night
00:12:19.23\00:12:25.47
Lord have mercy
00:12:25.51\00:12:29.21
Christ have mercy
00:12:29.24\00:12:33.01
Lord have mercy
00:12:33.05\00:12:36.89
On me
00:12:36.92\00:12:40.59
Lord have mercy
00:12:40.62\00:12:44.39
Christ have mercy
00:12:44.43\00:12:48.26
Lord have mercy
00:12:48.30\00:12:52.17
On me
00:12:52.20\00:12:57.94
Lord have mercy
00:12:57.97\00:13:01.88
Christ have mercy
00:13:01.91\00:13:05.91
Lord have mercy
00:13:05.95\00:13:10.05
On me
00:13:10.09\00:13:13.86
Lord have mercy
00:13:13.89\00:13:17.89
Christ have mercy
00:13:17.93\00:13:21.86
Lord have mercy
00:13:21.90\00:13:26.00
On me.
00:13:26.03\00:13:32.64
Precious Lord
00:13:36.81\00:13:40.42
Take my hand
00:13:40.45\00:13:44.72
Lead me on
00:13:44.75\00:13:48.52
Through the night
00:13:48.56\00:13:52.79
Through the dark
00:13:52.83\00:13:56.83
Through the storm
00:13:56.87\00:14:00.94
Through the night
00:14:00.97\00:14:08.91
I am feeling
00:14:08.94\00:14:13.35
Through the mount
00:14:13.38\00:14:17.75
I have seen
00:14:17.79\00:14:21.22
The Promised Land
00:14:21.26\00:14:26.73
Precious Lord
00:14:26.76\00:14:31.43
Precious Lord
00:14:31.47\00:14:35.64
Take my hand
00:14:35.67\00:14:42.64
Precious Lord
00:14:46.38\00:14:50.62
Take my hand
00:14:50.65\00:14:54.76
Bring thy child
00:14:54.79\00:14:58.86
Home at last
00:14:58.89\00:15:03.37
Where the strife
00:15:03.40\00:15:07.50
And the pain
00:15:07.54\00:15:11.64
All are past
00:15:11.67\00:15:19.61
I have dreamed
00:15:19.65\00:15:24.05
A great dream
00:15:24.09\00:15:29.62
That thy love
00:15:29.66\00:15:33.13
Shall rule the land
00:15:33.16\00:15:39.60
Precious Lord
00:15:39.63\00:15:44.67
Precious Lord
00:15:44.71\00:15:49.18
Take my hand
00:15:49.21\00:15:56.18
Precious Lord
00:16:00.69\00:16:07.00
Take my hand
00:16:07.03\00:16:13.77
Take thy child
00:16:13.80\00:16:18.27
Unto Thee
00:16:18.31\00:16:23.08
With my dream
00:16:23.11\00:16:27.25
Of a world
00:16:27.28\00:16:31.62
That is free
00:16:31.65\00:16:38.03
For that day
00:16:40.13\00:16:44.43
When all flesh
00:16:44.47\00:16:49.07
Joins the glory
00:16:49.10\00:16:53.74
Thou hast planned
00:16:53.78\00:16:59.18
Precious Lord
00:17:03.08\00:17:09.89
Precious Lord
00:17:09.92\00:17:14.86
Take my hand
00:17:14.90\00:17:21.74
Take my hand.
00:17:21.77\00:17:28.74
Oh, God, could it be
true, You will take our hands,
00:18:44.22\00:18:49.92
it's a choir that just sung,
00:18:49.96\00:18:53.23
and You will walk with us.
00:18:53.26\00:18:58.13
How could we ask for more
00:18:58.17\00:19:01.20
that this vineyard of you
00:19:01.24\00:19:04.07
capture our
hearts and our minds.
00:19:04.11\00:19:06.98
We pray in Jesus' name.
00:19:07.01\00:19:08.94
Amen.
00:19:08.98\00:19:11.61
It's kind of
embarrassing to put it this way
00:19:11.65\00:19:15.35
but I got to ask the question,
00:19:15.38\00:19:16.99
forgive me,
00:19:17.02\00:19:18.35
but does God have Alzheimer's?
00:19:18.39\00:19:24.83
I hold here in my
hands, can you see it?
00:19:28.00\00:19:30.53
The latest issue
of Time Magazine,
00:19:30.57\00:19:32.23
this is
actually dated next week.
00:19:32.27\00:19:35.54
The Alzheimer's Pill.
00:19:35.57\00:19:37.67
What's the subtitle?
00:19:37.71\00:19:39.04
A radical new drug
could change old age.
00:19:39.07\00:19:42.08
Let me just read a
line or two to you,
00:19:42.11\00:19:44.28
just wondering about God.
00:19:44.31\00:19:46.72
"Dr. Frank Longo
00:19:46.75\00:19:48.08
isn't the kind of
guy who chokes up easily.
00:19:48.12\00:19:51.42
The preeminent
neurologist is better known
00:19:51.45\00:19:53.46
for his professional stoicism
00:19:53.49\00:19:55.32
and scholarly
approach to the devastation
00:19:55.36\00:19:57.16
he sees weekly in
his Alzheimer's patients.
00:19:57.19\00:19:59.79
The people come to his office
00:19:59.83\00:20:01.16
at the Stanford
University School of Medicine,
00:20:01.20\00:20:02.83
their memory just
a little bit worse
00:20:02.86\00:20:05.63
than the last time he saw them.
00:20:05.67\00:20:08.60
But today even though
he's trying to keep it together
00:20:08.64\00:20:10.94
his throat tightens.
00:20:10.97\00:20:13.48
He's in a small examining room
outside Kansas City, Kansas,
00:20:13.51\00:20:16.95
watching a young man do
something people do every day.
00:20:16.98\00:20:19.28
He swallowing a pill
with a big gulp of water,
00:20:19.31\00:20:22.25
but it's not just
any pill, it's a new drug
00:20:22.28\00:20:24.29
that Longo
hopes will prove to be
00:20:24.32\00:20:26.32
an effective
treatment for Alzheimer's.
00:20:26.35\00:20:28.12
And when the man
swallows tears pool
00:20:28.16\00:20:31.59
in the deep furrows
around Longo's eyes.
00:20:31.63\00:20:37.17
'My biggest frustration
00:20:37.20\00:20:38.53
is that we've cured
Alzheimer's in mice many times,
00:20:38.57\00:20:40.97
why can't we move
the success to people?'
00:20:41.00\00:20:43.81
Longo asks.
00:20:43.84\00:20:45.17
He's referring to the
numerous promising compounds
00:20:45.21\00:20:47.18
that have that, that have
00:20:47.21\00:20:49.71
eliminated the amyloidal plaques
00:20:49.74\00:20:51.48
associated with
Alzheimer's in animals.
00:20:51.51\00:20:53.31
If the ongoing human trials
00:20:53.35\00:20:54.78
continue to
progress the way he hopes,
00:20:54.82\00:20:56.89
Longo's drug called LM11A-31
00:20:56.92\00:21:00.59
could be a critical part
of finally making that happen.
00:21:00.62\00:21:04.06
But that's still a big 'if.'"
00:21:04.09\00:21:06.23
Listen to these stats, America.
00:21:06.26\00:21:09.06
"The stakes couldn't be
higher not just for Longo
00:21:09.10\00:21:10.87
but also for the
world's aging population.
00:21:10.90\00:21:13.47
In the US..." All
right, our country.
00:21:13.50\00:21:15.47
"In the US, one
third of Americans over 85
00:21:15.50\00:21:18.81
are already
affected by Alzheimer's.
00:21:18.84\00:21:22.74
Globally, nearly
50 million people
00:21:22.78\00:21:24.95
are living with dementia,
00:21:24.98\00:21:26.31
most of which is
caused by Alzheimer's,
00:21:26.35\00:21:29.05
and absent effective
drugs or other interventions,
00:21:29.08\00:21:32.12
that number is expected
to double every 20 years.
00:21:32.15\00:21:36.89
With no treatments,
00:21:36.93\00:21:38.26
caring for them
falls to loved ones
00:21:38.29\00:21:39.79
in assisted living facilities."
00:21:39.83\00:21:41.96
And some of you
here know exactly
00:21:42.00\00:21:43.93
what that
sentence is describing.
00:21:43.97\00:21:48.10
"The cost of that
care is skyrocketing."
00:21:48.14\00:21:50.61
Last line, "In three years
00:21:50.64\00:21:52.97
the global annual burden
00:21:53.01\00:21:54.41
could reach over
one trillion dollars."
00:21:54.44\00:22:00.38
Does God need
the Alzheimer's pill?
00:22:00.42\00:22:05.22
I know it sounds irreverent
to even asked the question.
00:22:05.25\00:22:08.46
But we have His word on it.
00:22:08.49\00:22:11.69
If we take it
00:22:11.73\00:22:13.93
and divine amnesia may
not be out of the question.
00:22:13.96\00:22:18.07
I want you to grab
your Bible right now,
00:22:18.10\00:22:19.43

00:22:40.79\00:22:43.43
Well, we don't need
our friendly ushers,
00:22:43.46\00:22:44.79

stunning set of verses,
00:23:29.24\00:23:30.61
you ready for this?
00:23:30.64\00:23:32.11
Start off with
the Book of Isaiah.
00:23:32.14\00:23:34.74
By the way, you go
home this afternoon
00:23:34.78\00:23:36.11
and mark these up in your Bible.
00:23:36.14\00:23:37.48
These are, these
are top drawer verses,
00:23:37.51\00:23:38.91
you'll never find
verses more potent then these.
00:23:38.95\00:23:42.02
We're not going to take
time to look them up right now,
00:23:42.05\00:23:43.39
let's put them on the screen.
00:23:43.42\00:23:44.75
Isaiah 43:25, God, first person,
00:23:44.79\00:23:49.19
"I, even I, am he
00:23:49.22\00:23:51.26
who blots out
your transgressions,
00:23:51.29\00:23:53.96
for mine own sake, and
remembers your sins..."
00:23:54.00\00:23:57.63
Write it in please. "No more."
00:23:57.67\00:24:01.60
I will remember your
sins no more, divine amnesia.
00:24:01.64\00:24:05.31
Come on, guys,
how can we miss it.
00:24:05.34\00:24:07.28
First person promise,
00:24:07.31\00:24:08.64
I promise to blot
out your transgressions
00:24:08.68\00:24:10.58
and remember your sins no more.
00:24:10.61\00:24:12.81
Which begs the
question, how much is no more?
00:24:12.85\00:24:16.32
How much is no more?
00:24:16.35\00:24:17.95
In fact, let's put
the words up in English.
00:24:17.99\00:24:19.75
You know what, you can't
make that any shorter than that,
00:24:19.79\00:24:21.59
"No more."
00:24:21.62\00:24:22.96
Now I suppose you
could, you could say "Nomo."
00:24:22.99\00:24:27.50
So we'll use nomo.
00:24:27.53\00:24:29.63
God says, I'll
remember your sins nomo.
00:24:29.66\00:24:33.94
Just to make sure
that we get the point,
00:24:33.97\00:24:35.30
Isaiah goes on.
00:24:35.34\00:24:36.67
Jot this one down, Isaiah 38:17,
00:24:36.71\00:24:38.97
Isaiah speaking to God,
00:24:39.01\00:24:40.34
"You have put all my
sins behind your back."
00:24:40.38\00:24:45.18
Throws them
away, behind your back.
00:24:45.21\00:24:47.25
No wonder God
can't remember our sins,
00:24:47.28\00:24:48.68
they're no longer
sitting there in front of Him.
00:24:48.72\00:24:51.05
The problem is,
they're sitting in front of
00:24:51.09\00:24:52.42
somebody else and somebody's
always remembering, right?
00:24:52.45\00:24:54.22
Somebody's always remembering.
00:24:54.26\00:24:55.89
And if you can't think
of anybody, it's the devil.
00:24:55.92\00:24:58.29
Devil never let you forget
00:24:58.33\00:24:59.69
and that's why you
keep recalling them.
00:24:59.73\00:25:01.50
Come on, this is behind,
too bad, there they are again.
00:25:01.53\00:25:05.17
Isaiah goes on, Isaiah
44, jot this down, verse 22,
00:25:05.20\00:25:08.90
God, first person again,
00:25:08.94\00:25:10.27
"I have swept away
your offenses like a cloud,
00:25:10.31\00:25:13.38
your sins like
the morning mist."
00:25:13.41\00:25:16.34
And by the way, that's
not the Microsoft cloud
00:25:16.38\00:25:18.15
or the Apple cloud,
that's another cloud.
00:25:18.18\00:25:20.62
A little white fluffy thing.
00:25:20.65\00:25:22.12
How does it happen?
00:25:22.15\00:25:23.49
You're looking at it
and suddenly it vanishes
00:25:23.52\00:25:25.12
in front of your
eyes, that's what I've done,
00:25:25.15\00:25:27.96
like the low lying fog in
the St. Joseph River Valley.
00:25:27.99\00:25:32.03
Gone with the advent of the son.
00:25:32.06\00:25:34.73
God says that's what I've done.
00:25:34.76\00:25:36.33
Jeremiah says, listen, guys,
00:25:36.36\00:25:37.70
I hope you're not missing
what Isaiah is telling you,
00:25:37.73\00:25:39.13
but in case you have missed it,
00:25:39.17\00:25:40.87
let me add my voice.
00:25:40.90\00:25:42.24
Jeremiah 31:34,
God, first person again,
00:25:42.27\00:25:45.61
"For I will
forgive their wickedness
00:25:45.64\00:25:47.21
and will remember
their sins no more."
00:25:47.24\00:25:50.05
There it is again, no more.
00:25:50.08\00:25:52.48
I'm not going to
remember it, I promise you.
00:25:52.51\00:25:56.65
How many of you
almost get the feeling,
00:25:56.69\00:25:58.02
you know, that God
wants us to conclude
00:25:58.05\00:25:59.39
that when it comes to our sins
00:25:59.42\00:26:00.96
He really does suffer
from a severe case of amnesia?
00:26:00.99\00:26:05.93
No more.
00:26:05.96\00:26:08.46
And Micah says, me
too, me too, little Micah.
00:26:08.50\00:26:10.57
Say, I got to get into this.
00:26:10.60\00:26:11.93
Let's put Micah on the screen.
00:26:11.97\00:26:13.30
Micah 7:18-19, Micah
ask, "Who is a God like you,
00:26:13.34\00:26:18.07
who pardons sin and
forgives the transgression
00:26:18.11\00:26:20.68
of the remnant
of his inheritance?
00:26:20.71\00:26:22.64
You do not stay angry forever
but You delight to show mercy."
00:26:22.68\00:26:26.55
Boy, was that I'm
singing this morning or what?
00:26:26.58\00:26:29.35
Christ, Lord, have mercy on us.
00:26:29.38\00:26:31.95
You delight to, you
delight to show mercy.
00:26:31.99\00:26:34.76
Now Micah goes on,
00:26:34.79\00:26:36.12
"You will again
have compassion on us,
00:26:36.16\00:26:38.19
you will tread
our sins underfoot
00:26:38.23\00:26:40.10
and hurl all our
iniquities into the..."
00:26:40.13\00:26:42.16
Write it down.
"The depths of the sea."
00:26:42.20\00:26:47.77
God says, I'll
bury your sins at sea.
00:26:47.80\00:26:51.67
At little mountain lake,
00:26:51.71\00:26:53.04
where I grew up as a
missionary's kid in Japan,
00:26:53.07\00:26:55.14
there would be drowning
almost tragically every summer.
00:26:55.18\00:27:00.25
And I tell you
what, when you're kid,
00:27:00.28\00:27:02.22
four years, five years old,
00:27:02.25\00:27:03.72
that stuff is
indelibly imprinted
00:27:03.75\00:27:05.55
on the hard disk
of childhood memories.
00:27:05.59\00:27:07.82
I can still see that
little, that little motor boat
00:27:07.86\00:27:10.49
chugging around the
vast place in the lake
00:27:10.53\00:27:12.56
where they saw the victim.
00:27:12.59\00:27:14.33
I can see those
authorities looking,
00:27:14.36\00:27:15.70
I can see them finally
reaching into that little skiff
00:27:15.73\00:27:18.27
and pulling out grappling hooks
00:27:18.30\00:27:20.10
and dropping those hooks
00:27:20.14\00:27:22.20
over the side to drag
on the bottom of that lake
00:27:22.24\00:27:24.94
in hopes of finding that victim.
00:27:24.97\00:27:28.21
Here Micah,
00:27:28.24\00:27:29.58
God promises to bury our
sins at the bottom of the sea.
00:27:29.61\00:27:32.31
And the only way they
could ever again confront us
00:27:32.35\00:27:36.48
is if we drop
the grappling hooks
00:27:36.52\00:27:38.35
all over the side ourselves
00:27:38.39\00:27:40.16
and look for that, the corpse
of that sin to pull back up
00:27:40.19\00:27:43.63
and stare at, and mourn over,
00:27:43.66\00:27:46.39
and sob over when God
says, what are you doing, girl?
00:27:46.43\00:27:50.43
I buried that already.
00:27:50.47\00:27:54.44
The devil does not
want us to get this, guys.
00:27:54.47\00:27:56.50
Oh he does not,
this will set you free
00:27:56.54\00:27:58.67
if you get this
picture of God today.
00:27:58.71\00:28:00.48
And the devil would say, no,
00:28:00.51\00:28:01.84
I am going to keep
it in front of you,
00:28:01.88\00:28:03.21
I'm going to
rub your nose in it,
00:28:03.24\00:28:04.58
I'm going to
rub your face in it.
00:28:04.61\00:28:05.95
Every time you forget,
I'm back to remind you.
00:28:05.98\00:28:07.55
Now look,
00:28:10.99\00:28:13.25
all of these stunning
promises are presupposed
00:28:13.29\00:28:16.73
upon the reality that we have
00:28:16.76\00:28:21.70
earnestly with broken heart
00:28:21.73\00:28:24.80
taken that sin to
Jesus and given it to Him.
00:28:24.83\00:28:28.10
The promises presupposed,
if that's what you've done.
00:28:28.14\00:28:30.24
I can't throw away
what he doesn't have.
00:28:30.27\00:28:33.01
1 John 1:9, come on,
don't you ever forget this,
00:28:33.04\00:28:34.91
the great shining diamond
00:28:34.94\00:28:36.54
in the New
Testament near the end.
00:28:36.58\00:28:37.91
1 John 1:9, let's read
this one out loud together,
00:28:37.95\00:28:40.62
"If we confess our sins,
00:28:40.65\00:28:44.05
he is faithful and
just to forgive us our sins
00:28:44.09\00:28:48.96
and cleanse us, purify us
from all unrighteousness."
00:28:48.99\00:28:54.76
Man.
00:28:54.80\00:28:56.26
Every one of these promises,
00:28:56.30\00:28:58.13
the stunning set that
we've just gone through
00:28:58.17\00:29:00.77
is premised on
the simple condition
00:29:00.80\00:29:03.64
that we confess and
repent of our sin before God.
00:29:03.67\00:29:07.51
Bring it to me, bring it to
me and see what I'll do with it.
00:29:07.54\00:29:11.35
Isaiah, well, we got
to go back to Isaiah.
00:29:11.38\00:29:12.88
Jot this down, Isaiah
1:18, "'Come now,' God says,
00:29:12.91\00:29:16.25
'Let us settle the
matter,' says the Lord.
00:29:16.28\00:29:19.35
Though your sins
are like scarlet,
00:29:19.39\00:29:21.59
they shall be as white as..."
00:29:21.62\00:29:23.76
Snow!
00:29:23.79\00:29:25.13
Hallelujah. Got
melted yesterday.
00:29:25.16\00:29:28.50
Ain't that some?
00:29:28.53\00:29:30.50
Quit laughing so
soon, it will be back.
00:29:30.53\00:29:34.67
"Though your
sins are like scarlet,
00:29:34.70\00:29:36.10
they shall be as white as snow,
though they are red as crimson,
00:29:36.14\00:29:38.87
they shall be as wool."
00:29:38.91\00:29:40.94
Jesus says, Oh, come on,
guys, please, I beg of you,
00:29:40.98\00:29:44.08
bring them to
me, bring it to me.
00:29:44.11\00:29:45.71
I don't care what
kind of sin it is,
00:29:45.75\00:29:47.08
I don't care what
color of sin it is,
00:29:47.12\00:29:48.92
I will not only
forgive you, I will wash you,
00:29:48.95\00:29:50.75
I will purify you,
I will cleanse you,
00:29:50.79\00:29:52.65
and then I'm
going to bury that sin
00:29:52.69\00:29:54.02
in the depths of the sea.
00:29:54.06\00:29:55.39
I'm going to burn that
sin off like the morning mist,
00:29:55.42\00:29:57.76
gone, dissipated, vanished.
00:29:57.79\00:30:00.10
I will remember your
sin no more, no more.
00:30:00.13\00:30:05.30
Just give it to me.
00:30:05.33\00:30:07.50
Let me have it."
00:30:07.54\00:30:10.14
In the New Testament,
barely comes to closing,
00:30:10.17\00:30:14.94
when they quickly slip in
00:30:14.98\00:30:16.31
what we've just
gotten in the Old Testament,
00:30:16.34\00:30:17.95
the New Testament
says, don't miss this.
00:30:17.98\00:30:19.31
Two times in
the Book of Hebrews,
00:30:19.35\00:30:20.68
jot this down.
00:30:20.72\00:30:22.05
Hebrews 10:17,
"Their, "God speaking,
00:30:22.08\00:30:24.25
"'Their sins and lawless
acts I will remember no more.'"
00:30:24.29\00:30:31.43
I ask you again.
00:30:31.46\00:30:35.30
Does God have Alzheimer's?
00:30:35.33\00:30:39.30
I mean what's
up with this, guys?
00:30:39.33\00:30:40.74
What have we just read?
00:30:40.77\00:30:42.10
Severe case of
divine amnesia, at best.
00:30:45.91\00:30:51.68
In order to put these
stunning promises to the test,
00:30:51.71\00:30:55.88
we got to
operationalize this cluster.
00:30:55.92\00:30:59.89
We need to operationalize it
00:30:59.92\00:31:01.26
with a red
blooded human exhibit A,
00:31:01.29\00:31:04.33
all you're going to need
is exhibit A, and trust me,
00:31:04.36\00:31:06.36
that's all you're going to need.
00:31:06.39\00:31:08.23
This one perhaps is the
most stunning text of all
00:31:08.26\00:31:10.70
to set us up.
00:31:10.73\00:31:12.07
We need to
consider four questions.
00:31:12.10\00:31:13.44
So here come the four questions.
00:31:13.47\00:31:14.80
Question number
one, is it a sin to walk
00:31:14.84\00:31:16.67
on your roof?
00:31:16.71\00:31:18.44
Yes or no?
00:31:18.47\00:31:19.81
The answer is no.
00:31:19.84\00:31:21.18
Question number two, is it a sin
00:31:21.21\00:31:22.54
to walk over to
the edge of your roof?
00:31:22.58\00:31:23.95
No, if you don't
fall off, it's not.
00:31:23.98\00:31:25.31
Two.
00:31:25.35\00:31:26.68
Number three,
00:31:26.72\00:31:28.05
is it a sin to look into
your neighbor's backyard?
00:31:28.08\00:31:29.42
The answer is,
no, it's not a sin.
00:31:29.45\00:31:31.29
Number four, is it a sin
to watch your neighbor's wife
00:31:31.32\00:31:33.79
taking a bath in
her backyard in evening?
00:31:33.82\00:31:37.13
Yes.
00:31:37.16\00:31:38.49
Yeah.
00:31:38.53\00:31:39.86
The whole world knows the
story of young King David,
00:31:39.89\00:31:42.56
who crossed over the line
between innocence and guilt,
00:31:42.60\00:31:46.00
in that moment when he
should have turned away,
00:31:46.03\00:31:48.27
his finger was on the mouse,
and unwonted picture popped up
00:31:48.30\00:31:52.51
on his screen and all
he had to do was click
00:31:52.54\00:31:55.71
and it would have been gone.
00:31:55.74\00:31:57.08
But he lingered
and crash and burn.
00:31:57.11\00:32:01.05
Like a fighter jet shot
out of the blue heavens,
00:32:01.08\00:32:03.75
spiraling down,
down, down, crash.
00:32:03.79\00:32:07.39
It's over, it's inevitable.
00:32:07.42\00:32:09.82
Any sin you coddle,
00:32:09.86\00:32:11.29
you will crash
and burn, every time.
00:32:11.33\00:32:16.36
Of course, the rest
is a tragic morality tale
00:32:16.40\00:32:18.37
of warning in King David's life.
00:32:18.40\00:32:21.37
He not only sleeps with
his neighbor's wife, get this,
00:32:21.40\00:32:23.84
he impregnates her.
00:32:23.87\00:32:25.41
And so to cover it up,
he brings her husband home
00:32:25.44\00:32:27.48
from the battlefront
where he's been fighting,
00:32:27.51\00:32:29.44
he says, go
sleep with your wife,
00:32:29.48\00:32:30.81
she's been missing you.
00:32:30.85\00:32:32.18
The husband refuses
to sleep with his wife
00:32:32.21\00:32:34.02
because, his men are
still on the frontline,
00:32:34.05\00:32:35.92
taking, taking bullets.
00:32:35.95\00:32:39.39
So, David,
accidentally executes him
00:32:39.42\00:32:42.92
by giving the command
when he's up at the front,
00:32:42.96\00:32:44.96
everybody pull back.
00:32:44.99\00:32:48.06
And it worked.
00:32:48.10\00:32:50.03
David goading over
that little nifty secret
00:32:50.07\00:32:53.37
that only he and she know.
00:32:53.40\00:32:57.67
When Nathan, the
prophet storms into that palace
00:32:57.71\00:33:03.01
and with King James
English, he cries out,
00:33:03.04\00:33:06.11
"Thou are the man."
00:33:06.15\00:33:09.05
And the record reads,
David burst into tears
00:33:09.08\00:33:12.02
and he sobs,
00:33:12.05\00:33:13.52
"I have sinned
against the Lord."
00:33:13.56\00:33:17.53
And now added to the
annals of penitential literature
00:33:17.56\00:33:21.00
is this great Psalms 51 prayer,
00:33:21.03\00:33:23.16
and I need you to
see it in your Bible,
00:33:23.20\00:33:24.53
not on the screen now.
00:33:24.57\00:33:25.90
No, no, no, you
find it, Psalm 51.
00:33:25.93\00:33:28.77
Find it on your
phone, doesn't matter to me.
00:33:28.80\00:33:30.81
Psalm 51.
00:33:30.84\00:33:32.17
Don't have a
Bible, grab the pew Bible,
00:33:32.21\00:33:33.54
it will be page 387.
00:33:33.58\00:33:35.51
This prayer, this prayer,
00:33:35.54\00:33:38.71
this great
prayer, David praying,
00:33:38.75\00:33:41.88
verse 1, Psalm 51:1,
00:33:41.92\00:33:43.62
"Have mercy on me, O God,"
00:33:43.65\00:33:45.89
we sang those
words a moment ago.
00:33:45.92\00:33:48.22
"Have mercy on me, O God,
00:33:48.26\00:33:50.09
according to
your unfailing love,
00:33:50.13\00:33:52.29
according to
your great compassion
00:33:52.33\00:33:53.73
blot out my transgressions."
00:33:53.76\00:33:55.60
Verse 2,
00:33:55.63\00:33:56.97
"Wash away all my iniquity
and cleanse me from my sin."
00:33:57.00\00:34:00.77
David sobs.
00:34:00.80\00:34:02.30
Did you catch that? Come on.
00:34:02.34\00:34:04.77
David is praying for
what God has already promised
00:34:04.81\00:34:07.64
in this stunning set of
verses we've already read.
00:34:07.68\00:34:11.28
David, "Please blot
out my transgressions."
00:34:11.31\00:34:14.12
But God has promised, I
will remember your sins no more.
00:34:14.15\00:34:17.32
David sobs,
"Cleanse me from my sin."
00:34:17.35\00:34:20.06
But God promises,
though your sins be a scarlet,
00:34:20.09\00:34:22.42
they should be as white as snow.
00:34:22.46\00:34:23.93
God has already made
provision for your prayer
00:34:23.96\00:34:27.96
that sobs these words.
00:34:28.00\00:34:30.77
Already done.
00:34:30.80\00:34:34.50
And how deep was
God's forgiveness for David?
00:34:34.54\00:34:38.64
Consider now the most
stunning of all the verses
00:34:38.67\00:34:40.58
we look at this morning.
00:34:40.61\00:34:42.34
Because David
eventually dies, yes, he does.
00:34:42.38\00:34:44.71
And God has to send a
message to the wicked,
00:34:44.75\00:34:46.65
one of David's successors,
wicked and evil King Jeroboam.
00:34:46.68\00:34:51.32
I want you to see
what God sends to Jeroboam.
00:34:51.35\00:34:55.16
Turn back, you're
on Psalm 51, Psalm 51.
00:34:55.19\00:34:57.59
Go back to 1 Kings 14.
00:34:57.63\00:34:59.13
If this verse is not
marked in your Bible,
00:34:59.16\00:35:00.63
today is the day
that you circle it,
00:35:00.66\00:35:02.93
you put stars all
around it, you underline it.
00:35:02.96\00:35:07.00
You've bend the
page over if you have to,
00:35:07.04\00:35:09.87
you need to see
this stunning proof
00:35:09.90\00:35:13.88
that the stunning promises
we've read are all true.
00:35:13.91\00:35:16.95
Here we go, 1 Kings
14:8, I am in the NIV.
00:35:16.98\00:35:21.15
Let's go, verse 8, God speaking,
00:35:21.18\00:35:23.22
"I tore the kingdom
away from the house of David
00:35:23.25\00:35:25.49
and gave it to
you, King Jeroboam,
00:35:25.52\00:35:27.72
but you have not been
like my servant David,
00:35:27.76\00:35:31.19
who kept my commands
00:35:31.23\00:35:32.56
and followed me
with all his heart,
00:35:32.59\00:35:34.53
doing only what
was right in my eyes.
00:35:34.56\00:35:38.23
You cannot fathom the
depth of what God has just said
00:35:38.27\00:35:41.34
unless we break it down.
00:35:41.37\00:35:42.70
So we're going to
break it down right now
00:35:42.74\00:35:44.07
with your study guide.
00:35:44.11\00:35:45.44
Write it back down, let's go.
00:35:45.47\00:35:47.38
'"But you, Jeroboam,
00:35:47.41\00:35:49.34
have not been like
my servant David who,"
00:35:49.38\00:35:51.41
number one, so
I've added the numbers.
00:35:51.45\00:35:53.05
"Who number 1
kept my commandments."
00:35:53.08\00:35:56.75
Oh, God. Whoa,
whoa, whoa, time out.
00:35:56.79\00:36:00.49
Come on, what are
you talking about?
00:36:00.52\00:36:02.92
He broke the seventh commandment
00:36:02.96\00:36:04.39
about adultery.
00:36:04.43\00:36:05.76
He killed the
husband, that would be six.
00:36:05.79\00:36:07.76
He lied, that would be eight.
00:36:07.80\00:36:09.16
He coveted to start
the whole thing, that's 10.
00:36:09.20\00:36:11.07
He dishonored
his father and mother
00:36:11.10\00:36:12.43
in their spiritual legacy,
00:36:12.47\00:36:13.80
he broke the whole
10, what are you saying,
00:36:13.84\00:36:15.17
you kept all my commandments?
00:36:15.20\00:36:18.17
God says, quit
interrupting me, boy,
00:36:18.21\00:36:19.84
I have more to say.
00:36:19.87\00:36:21.48
Number two, jot it down.
00:36:21.51\00:36:25.98
"Who kept my
commandments," and number two,
00:36:26.01\00:36:27.72
"followed me
with all his heart."
00:36:27.75\00:36:33.32
I could do this again, but just,
00:36:33.36\00:36:35.76
are we talking
about the same David?
00:36:35.79\00:36:38.19
All his heart he gave to you?
00:36:38.23\00:36:40.80
I don't want to say
this, but are you crazy?
00:36:40.83\00:36:43.77
You got Alzheimer's, that, boy,
00:36:43.80\00:36:45.43
that's a big secret
that shouldn't get out.
00:36:45.47\00:36:48.87
God says, I am not
through yet, I got one more.
00:36:48.90\00:36:52.27
"Who kept my commandments,"
numbered one and two,
00:36:52.31\00:36:56.24
"follow me with all his heart,"
00:36:56.28\00:36:57.61
and number three,
00:36:57.65\00:36:58.98
"He did only what
was right in my eyes."
00:36:59.01\00:37:03.49
God, you, you are sick.
00:37:03.52\00:37:08.69
You lost it.
00:37:08.72\00:37:10.56
You know what he did.
00:37:10.59\00:37:12.46
The whole world
knows, it's too late.
00:37:12.49\00:37:14.70
Scribbling on
this page of my Bible,
00:37:19.17\00:37:23.77
I've left these
words in every Bible
00:37:23.81\00:37:25.17
that I can find 1 Kings 14:8,
00:37:25.21\00:37:27.54
I write these
words in that Bible.
00:37:27.58\00:37:29.48
You can do the same because
00:37:29.51\00:37:30.85
I give it to you
in your study guide,
00:37:30.88\00:37:32.21
The Steps to Christ,
they are the classic.
00:37:32.25\00:37:34.18
Steps to Christ,
how to come to Jesus.
00:37:34.22\00:37:36.08
Page 62, oh, this is good.
00:37:36.12\00:37:38.52
Jot it down.
00:37:38.55\00:37:39.89
"If you give yourself to Jesus,
and accept him as your Savior,
00:37:39.92\00:37:43.86
then, sinful as
your life may have been,
00:37:43.89\00:37:46.39
for His sake you
are accounted righteous.
00:37:46.43\00:37:50.17
Christ's character stands
in place of your character,
00:37:50.20\00:37:53.20
and you are accepted before
God just as if you had not sin."
00:37:53.23\00:37:59.81
Write it down
and never forget it,
00:37:59.84\00:38:03.45
corroboration that this stunning
00:38:03.48\00:38:05.98
set of promises is true.
00:38:06.01\00:38:10.35
I will remember
your sin no more.
00:38:10.39\00:38:13.36
I will bury it in
the depths of the sea.
00:38:13.39\00:38:15.16
I will burn it off
like the morning mist.
00:38:15.19\00:38:17.23
I will throw it behind my back.
00:38:17.26\00:38:18.76
I will treat you like
David so that when you die
00:38:18.79\00:38:20.70
or your name comes
up in the judgment,
00:38:20.73\00:38:22.63
when they call
your name, I'll say,
00:38:22.66\00:38:24.67
hey, I don't
remember a thing about him,
00:38:24.70\00:38:28.34
she did only what was right.
00:38:28.37\00:38:32.51
That's the God we've
just met in this ancient book.
00:38:32.54\00:38:39.35
Wow.
00:38:39.38\00:38:41.62
I tell you what, it simply,
00:38:41.65\00:38:43.08
it simply does not
get any better than that
00:38:43.12\00:38:46.52
if you're a sinner like me
00:38:46.55\00:38:49.52
because God is
the greatest forgiver.
00:38:49.56\00:38:51.79
Perdonar.
00:38:51.83\00:38:53.86
If you're like me,
you have been forgiven
00:38:53.90\00:38:55.43
by some very
merciful and grace filled,
00:38:55.46\00:38:59.90
wonderful people in your life.
00:38:59.93\00:39:02.17
Trust me, I have too.
00:39:02.20\00:39:04.27
But better than them all
00:39:04.31\00:39:05.71
is the greatest
forgiver in the universe
00:39:05.74\00:39:07.91
who says, I don't even remember.
00:39:07.94\00:39:11.01
Nomo.
00:39:11.05\00:39:13.08
Nomo.
00:39:13.11\00:39:17.92
Which makes you wonder,
00:39:17.95\00:39:20.89
if we really believe
this, come on, come on,
00:39:20.92\00:39:22.76
if we truly believe
00:39:22.79\00:39:24.13
that God is the greatest
forgiver in the universe,
00:39:24.16\00:39:25.73
why wouldn't we
be more open with Him
00:39:25.76\00:39:28.33
about what's inside of us?
00:39:28.36\00:39:30.73
Come on, why?
00:39:30.77\00:39:33.07
If he's the
greatest forgiver of all,
00:39:33.10\00:39:35.27
why wouldn't we
be more transparent,
00:39:35.30\00:39:38.87
transparent before Him?
00:39:38.91\00:39:42.38
Why would we be more vulnerable
00:39:42.41\00:39:44.61
in confessing our
little dirty secrets to Him?
00:39:44.65\00:39:51.15
I mean, please.
00:39:51.19\00:39:52.75
We all play these silly
little games with God, don't we?
00:39:52.79\00:39:56.32
Pretending to be
not quite as needy,
00:39:56.36\00:39:58.19
not quite as desperate,
00:39:58.23\00:39:59.56
as that publican who is sitting
way in back of the church,
00:39:59.59\00:40:01.60
or in the front of
the church, in this case.
00:40:01.63\00:40:03.30
But I thank you that I
tithe and I keep the Sabbath,
00:40:07.84\00:40:14.24
fast twice a week.
00:40:14.28\00:40:15.74
C.S. Lewis in his
little book Letters to Malcolm:
00:40:21.38\00:40:23.55
Chiefly on Prayer,
wisely observes, jot this down.
00:40:23.59\00:40:27.32
Very, very insightful.
00:40:27.36\00:40:29.32
"We must lay
before God what is in us,
00:40:29.36\00:40:34.40
not what ought to be in us."
00:40:34.43\00:40:37.67
We've got to tell
him, this is in me.
00:40:37.70\00:40:39.93
Now, not, see,
here what we got to say,
00:40:39.97\00:40:41.60
I know what he
wants, I know he wants.
00:40:41.64\00:40:42.97
Watch this, hey,
God, I am that way.
00:40:43.00\00:40:45.97
What a foolish game.
00:40:46.01\00:40:47.68
Lewis goes on, "The prayer
preceding all prayers is..."
00:40:47.71\00:40:51.55
I like this.
00:40:51.58\00:40:52.91
"May it be the
real I who speaks,
00:40:52.95\00:40:56.58
and may it be the
real thou that I speak to."
00:40:56.62\00:41:02.72
Who do we think we're fooling
00:41:02.76\00:41:04.09
when the darkest
secrets of our hearts
00:41:04.13\00:41:05.53
we keep them from God.
00:41:05.56\00:41:06.90
Shh, I don't want Him to
see, I don't want Him to know.
00:41:06.93\00:41:09.53
Are you crazy?
00:41:09.56\00:41:11.33
Is He God?
00:41:11.37\00:41:13.03
Of course, He knows.
00:41:13.07\00:41:16.87
I mean, we're
like a little girl.
00:41:16.91\00:41:19.94
Mother comes in, insisting that
00:41:19.97\00:41:21.31
she's eating
chocolate chip cookies.
00:41:21.34\00:41:22.68
So she says, not
me, not me, mama.
00:41:22.71\00:41:24.48
Chocolate spreading
all around her lips,
00:41:24.51\00:41:25.85
crumbs all over her face.
00:41:25.88\00:41:27.22
Not me mama, I haven't eaten.
00:41:27.25\00:41:28.58
God says, who you fooling?
00:41:28.62\00:41:29.95
I see, it's all over you.
00:41:29.98\00:41:32.35
Fess up.
00:41:32.39\00:41:34.62
Philip Yancey,
boy, this is good.
00:41:34.66\00:41:38.26
"Unless I level with
God, that relationship..."
00:41:38.29\00:41:41.26
My relationship with him,
oh, this is, this you need.
00:41:41.30\00:41:45.67
"My relationship
with him will go nowhere
00:41:45.70\00:41:47.74
if I don't level with him.
00:41:47.77\00:41:49.14
I may continue going
to church, as I did today,
00:41:49.17\00:41:51.57
I may sing hymns and praise
choruses, as we did today,
00:41:51.61\00:41:54.58
I may even address God
politely in formal prayers,
00:41:54.61\00:41:57.05
but I will never break
through the intimacy barrier."
00:41:57.08\00:42:01.98
Did you catch that?
00:42:02.02\00:42:03.72
Because God says, what
are you trying to tell me?
00:42:03.75\00:42:08.62
I know you, but you
obviously don't know me
00:42:08.66\00:42:11.39
because you're
hiding it out of me.
00:42:11.43\00:42:12.76
I know exactly
what you're hiding.
00:42:12.79\00:42:14.13
Why don't you get
this out in the open?
00:42:14.16\00:42:15.50
Why don't you
just deal with this,
00:42:15.53\00:42:16.87
then you and I
can really go deep,
00:42:16.90\00:42:18.27
but I can't go
deep with somebody
00:42:18.30\00:42:19.63
who's always
playing a game with me.
00:42:19.67\00:42:21.54
I'm tired of silly
games, I'm running out of time,
00:42:21.57\00:42:24.11
tell me who you are,
tell me what you need,
00:42:24.14\00:42:26.61
and ask me to do what
I've already promised to do.
00:42:26.64\00:42:30.35
Don't go around
saying, I'm not that way
00:42:30.38\00:42:34.42
when in fact you are.
00:42:34.45\00:42:39.65
You may fool your
lawyer by the way,
00:42:39.69\00:42:41.52
but you're not
going to fool God.
00:42:41.56\00:42:43.16
It's the only way we can
break this intimacy barrier.
00:42:50.67\00:42:52.77
How can...
00:42:52.80\00:42:54.14
Look at the
Bible says, James 4:8,
00:42:54.17\00:42:57.57
"Drawn nigh to God and
He will draw nigh to you."
00:42:57.61\00:43:02.58
Come close to me.
00:43:02.61\00:43:05.51
Of course, I'm
getting closer to you,
00:43:05.55\00:43:06.92
because you're
coming closer to me.
00:43:06.95\00:43:09.15
It's like I was standing up,
00:43:09.18\00:43:10.52
I needed you to
just step my way.
00:43:10.55\00:43:14.49
You can trust the greatest
forgiver in the universe
00:43:14.52\00:43:17.06
with your deepest
and darkest secrets
00:43:17.09\00:43:18.66
because He
already knows them all,
00:43:18.69\00:43:20.70
and loves you
with all His heart,
00:43:20.73\00:43:23.13
in spite of them all.
00:43:23.16\00:43:26.74
Once upon a time there was a God
00:43:26.77\00:43:29.80
who came down to this earth
00:43:29.84\00:43:32.77
and when it came time
to die for this world,
00:43:32.81\00:43:34.68
He stretched out His arms as
they nailed Him on the cross,
00:43:34.71\00:43:38.38
and He prayed a single prayer.
00:43:38.41\00:43:40.88
Put that prayer on
the screen for you.
00:43:40.92\00:43:43.39
He prayed, "Father,
00:43:43.42\00:43:46.69
forgive them,
00:43:46.72\00:43:51.29
they don't know
what they're doing.
00:43:51.33\00:43:54.36
I beg of you,
forgive them, please."
00:43:54.40\00:43:59.73
Desire of Ages
writes, put it on the screen,
00:43:59.77\00:44:01.84
"That prayer of Christ for
His enemies embraced the world.
00:44:01.87\00:44:04.31
It took in every
sinner that should live,
00:44:04.34\00:44:07.38
that has lived or should live
from the beginning of the world
00:44:07.41\00:44:09.74
to the end of time.
00:44:09.78\00:44:11.11
Upon all rests the guilt
of crucifying the Son of God."
00:44:11.15\00:44:14.25
And then here comes the gospel,
00:44:14.28\00:44:15.78
"To all,
forgiveness is freely offered.
00:44:15.82\00:44:20.09
'Whosoever will'
may have peace with God,
00:44:20.12\00:44:22.39
and inherit eternal life."
00:44:22.42\00:44:24.89
Hey, guys, please get this,
00:44:24.93\00:44:28.36
the truth is because of Calvary,
00:44:28.40\00:44:31.53
listen, the truth is
00:44:31.57\00:44:33.34
we have already been forgiven
00:44:33.37\00:44:37.67
2,000 years ago.
00:44:37.71\00:44:41.54
The whole world got forgiven.
00:44:41.58\00:44:42.94
We pardoned, charges dropped
00:44:42.98\00:44:46.28
2,000 years ago
which reduces to absurdity.
00:44:46.31\00:44:51.75
Get this, come on,
which reduces to absurdity
00:44:51.79\00:44:54.82
the suggestion that God
may not forgive me this time,
00:44:54.86\00:44:58.86
when in fact, He has already
forgiven me for next time
00:44:58.89\00:45:03.06
2,000 years ago.
00:45:03.10\00:45:05.47
Come on.
00:45:05.50\00:45:07.54
Nomo.
00:45:07.57\00:45:09.90
I'm promising you nomo.
00:45:09.94\00:45:12.51
So why not receive
the gift right now?
00:45:16.04\00:45:20.28
Several years
ago, Morris Venden,
00:45:20.32\00:45:21.65
the great
preacher stood right here.
00:45:21.68\00:45:25.15
I'll remember this.
00:45:25.19\00:45:27.26
And he announce that
there are four things
00:45:27.29\00:45:29.66
that God does not know.
00:45:29.69\00:45:31.29
One, He does not know
a sin He does not hate.
00:45:31.33\00:45:36.36
Two, He does not know
a sinner He doesn't love.
00:45:36.40\00:45:42.87
Three, He does not
know a sin He can't forgive.
00:45:42.90\00:45:46.34
And four, He does not
know a better time than now.
00:45:46.37\00:45:51.21
Amen.
00:45:51.25\00:45:53.11
Pull out that connect
card, will you, please.
00:45:53.15\00:45:58.05
Because I want to
give you an opportunity
00:45:58.09\00:45:59.82
to make the decision right now.
00:45:59.85\00:46:01.26
We've played these
silly games long enough.
00:46:01.29\00:46:02.82
Today is your day of
deliverance, God is here.
00:46:02.86\00:46:05.59
The devil has been held at
bay for a few more minutes.
00:46:05.63\00:46:10.50
Pull out your connect card,
00:46:10.53\00:46:11.87
I want to go through
that connect card with you.
00:46:11.90\00:46:13.47
Get, be sure that I have
your email address on the front,
00:46:13.50\00:46:17.67
your name and email
address, that's all I need.
00:46:17.71\00:46:19.87
I want to go to the back
00:46:19.91\00:46:21.24
and it's time
to make a decision,
00:46:21.28\00:46:22.61
my next step today.
00:46:22.64\00:46:23.98
Some of you this moment
00:46:24.01\00:46:25.35
is going to be a
liberating moment for you.
00:46:25.38\00:46:26.72
And I want to do
something I've never done
00:46:26.75\00:46:28.08
with connect cards
before so let me have your ears.
00:46:28.12\00:46:30.85
Let me have your ears.
00:46:30.89\00:46:32.62
My next step today,
number one, I am grateful,
00:46:32.65\00:46:35.56
God not only
forgives all my sins
00:46:35.59\00:46:38.66
but also remembers them no more.
00:46:38.69\00:46:40.93
Today, I confess to
Him what he already knows.
00:46:40.96\00:46:44.73
Some of you have
been playing this game
00:46:44.77\00:46:46.13
long, long, long enough,
00:46:46.17\00:46:48.10
and it's time for
your heart to be set free.
00:46:48.14\00:46:50.01
Jesus says, if
the son sets you free,
00:46:50.04\00:46:51.97
you're free indeed, man, woman,
00:46:52.01\00:46:54.28
you're free indeed.
00:46:54.31\00:46:55.71
Just let me give it to me
and I'll remember it nomo,
00:46:55.74\00:46:59.01
but you have to give it to me.
00:46:59.05\00:47:00.45
I want you to give me
what's 30 years behind you,
00:47:00.48\00:47:02.65
I need what's
30 years behind you
00:47:02.68\00:47:04.19
because that
baby keeps coming up
00:47:04.22\00:47:05.99
and I'm sick and
tired of it being a wall
00:47:06.02\00:47:07.82
between you and me.
00:47:07.86\00:47:09.19
I need you to come clean for me,
00:47:09.22\00:47:10.56
I need you to come clean
right now, just get it out.
00:47:10.59\00:47:13.56
Let's go.
00:47:13.60\00:47:15.16
I want you to put a
check mark right there
00:47:15.20\00:47:16.53
and I want to give you
an opportunity in a moment
00:47:16.56\00:47:20.84
to
operationalize that checkmark.
00:47:20.87\00:47:24.77
Box number two, I would like
to pierce the intimacy barrier
00:47:24.81\00:47:28.01
and daily prayer and talk to God
00:47:28.04\00:47:32.15
with vulnerable candor.
00:47:32.18\00:47:35.45
Vulnerable candor.
00:47:35.48\00:47:38.52
That's we're talking
about, be honest with Him.
00:47:38.55\00:47:41.52
Open your heart up.
00:47:41.56\00:47:44.09
Place all your
sins in His hands.
00:47:44.13\00:47:47.03
If they're
particularly fresh, good,
00:47:47.06\00:47:48.96
if they're unusually distant,
hope for more, get them, go on.
00:47:49.00\00:47:55.34
And box number three,
I'd like to bury my past
00:47:55.37\00:47:57.17
in the waters of baptism.
00:47:57.21\00:47:59.67
Please be in touch with me.
00:47:59.71\00:48:01.14
That is the most
significant symbol
00:48:01.18\00:48:03.38
that the Bible gives
00:48:03.41\00:48:04.75
to burying the
past once and for all.
00:48:04.78\00:48:08.22
If you have not been baptized
00:48:08.25\00:48:09.58
and you're in this
sanctuary right now,
00:48:09.62\00:48:11.12
and you're
watching on television,
00:48:11.15\00:48:12.95
you're live streaming right now,
00:48:12.99\00:48:14.39
I need you to know
00:48:14.42\00:48:17.23
if you are not been baptized
this is the act in Christ
00:48:17.26\00:48:21.56
that will wash your passed away.
00:48:21.60\00:48:23.73
Amen.
00:48:23.77\00:48:25.10
You say, I'm not
going to be baptized.
00:48:25.13\00:48:26.84
You want to carry that
ball and chain, be my guest.
00:48:26.87\00:48:30.41
If you have not been baptized,
put a check mark there.
00:48:30.44\00:48:33.38
Nobody's going to rush
you, you take your time.
00:48:33.41\00:48:35.68
But you make the decision today.
00:48:35.71\00:48:37.65
I'm tired of carrying,
00:48:37.68\00:48:39.01
dragging this ball
and chain in my life.
00:48:39.05\00:48:41.45
I want it gone.
00:48:41.48\00:48:43.32
You put a check mark there.
00:48:43.35\00:48:46.39
And it will be an honor
to be in touch with you,
00:48:46.42\00:48:48.09
by email, by email.
00:48:48.12\00:48:50.89
You control everything.
00:48:50.93\00:48:53.36
But make the decision
00:48:53.40\00:48:54.73
because you
control the decision.
00:48:54.76\00:48:56.10
God is saying, that girl,
00:48:56.13\00:48:57.47
why is she making that decision?
00:48:57.50\00:48:58.83
That boy...
00:48:58.87\00:49:00.20
I mean, how many
times have I asked that boy
00:49:00.24\00:49:01.57
to give me his heart
and to baptize his life
00:49:01.60\00:49:03.27
and burry his past in me,
00:49:03.30\00:49:04.81
but he won't, he's
playing this silly little game
00:49:04.84\00:49:06.94
as if there's
nothing in his life
00:49:06.98\00:49:08.31
he needs right now,
everything's hunky-dory,
00:49:08.34\00:49:09.91
God, thank you so much,
00:49:09.94\00:49:11.28
call me again when you need me.
00:49:11.31\00:49:14.55
Give me a life, he
says, let me have it,
00:49:14.58\00:49:18.85
and I'll just bury it
and you'll be gone, girl.
00:49:18.89\00:49:22.79
It will be gone.
00:49:22.82\00:49:24.16
Cuba mission, put
a check mark there.
00:49:27.10\00:49:29.73
So here's what's different,
if God is calling you,
00:49:29.76\00:49:33.47
put them all in
my hands right now,
00:49:33.50\00:49:34.84
everything, everything,
00:49:34.87\00:49:36.20
put it all in
my hands right now,
00:49:36.24\00:49:37.57
I'm going to ask
you to take this card
00:49:37.61\00:49:38.94
and walk to the front right now.
00:49:38.97\00:49:40.88
Don't have to, look,
Choir singing a lovely hymn.
00:49:40.91\00:49:42.98
Nope, just take this
card and come to the front.
00:49:43.01\00:49:45.35
And by that saying, Dwight,
00:49:45.38\00:49:49.62
pray for me
right now on the spot.
00:49:49.65\00:49:51.15
And I will pray for
you right now on the spot.
00:49:51.19\00:49:53.15
I want a couple of
pastors to stand right here
00:49:53.19\00:49:54.99
and receive these cards.
00:49:55.02\00:49:56.59
Not asking for your
tithes and offerings,
00:49:56.62\00:49:58.26
I'm asking for
your connect card.
00:49:58.29\00:49:59.63
If you've made a decision today
00:49:59.66\00:50:01.00
that I'm going
to bury that past,
00:50:01.03\00:50:02.63
I'm going to give
everything to you, God,
00:50:02.66\00:50:04.50
everything to you.
00:50:04.53\00:50:06.57
I want you to
come forward, please.
00:50:06.60\00:50:08.70
And put a card in one
of these pastor's hands.
00:50:08.74\00:50:12.07
And I want to pray with you.
00:50:12.11\00:50:14.84
And if you're in the balcony,
the very back of the balcony,
00:50:14.88\00:50:17.68
and the spirit is
speaking to your heart,
00:50:17.71\00:50:19.05
I want to invite you to come,
00:50:19.08\00:50:20.42
make the long
trip down the stairs
00:50:20.45\00:50:21.78
and come right here.
00:50:21.82\00:50:23.15
You say, Dwight, I am
just going to it on a card,
00:50:23.18\00:50:24.52
it's real private.
00:50:24.55\00:50:25.89
Of course, you may,
and you may, and you may.
00:50:25.92\00:50:27.26
But some times to
operationalize your choice
00:50:27.29\00:50:29.16
makes all the
difference in the world.
00:50:29.19\00:50:32.56
That has been in
your past so long now,
00:50:32.59\00:50:35.80
it's time to bring it out.
00:50:35.83\00:50:37.27
If you be willing
to place your heart
00:50:42.04\00:50:47.51
and that past in Jesus'
hands right now, join us...
00:50:47.54\00:50:53.15
Already opened the door for you.
00:50:53.18\00:50:54.52
I'm not rushing
home to dinner, guys.
00:50:58.35\00:51:01.22
The spirit is
right here, right now,
00:51:01.26\00:51:03.02
I've been
praying before I got up,
00:51:03.06\00:51:04.39
God, keep the devil
outside the double doors.
00:51:04.43\00:51:08.03
Just keep him out right now
00:51:08.06\00:51:09.40
because somebody's
going to get free today,
00:51:09.43\00:51:10.77
somebody's going to get
set free today in a lasting way
00:51:10.80\00:51:14.97
because you
operationalized your choice.
00:51:15.00\00:51:18.47
There's no magic in the card.
00:51:18.51\00:51:21.74
It's just a choice.
00:51:21.78\00:51:23.85
I will remember your sins nomo.
00:51:23.88\00:51:26.01
Anyone else?
00:51:30.65\00:51:34.06
From the choir,
from the sanctuary,
00:51:34.09\00:51:38.49
those of you watching right
now alone somewhere, streaming.
00:51:38.53\00:51:43.70
You make the decision too.
00:51:43.73\00:51:46.77
In order to walk
while you're watching,
00:51:46.80\00:51:48.57
you just raise your
hand to Jesus and say,
00:51:48.60\00:51:51.27
Jesus, I'm giving it all to you.
00:51:51.31\00:51:55.78
Why should I carry this?
00:51:55.81\00:51:57.25
I'm not going to prolong this.
00:52:01.98\00:52:05.55
But somebody else needs
00:52:05.59\00:52:09.16
to make the physical response
of walking to the front.
00:52:09.19\00:52:14.93
We do connect cards so
that you never have to do this.
00:52:14.96\00:52:16.90
But the Lord said, that's
nice, now, Dwight, come on,
00:52:16.93\00:52:19.47
give somebody a chance.
00:52:19.50\00:52:20.90
Amen.
00:52:20.94\00:52:22.27
Never been baptized
before, bring the card.
00:52:22.30\00:52:25.74
Just leave here
right up here at the front.
00:52:25.77\00:52:27.44
We'll be in touch with
you, we'll be in touch.
00:52:27.48\00:52:29.98
But make the decision.
00:52:30.01\00:52:31.35
God bless you.
00:52:43.02\00:52:48.03
Don't be in the back
of the sanctuary saying,
00:52:48.06\00:52:49.53
ah, that's so...
00:52:49.56\00:52:50.90
You got to walk
that whole distance,
00:52:50.93\00:52:52.27
what's the point of it?
00:52:52.30\00:52:53.64
The point is, Jesus says,
00:52:53.67\00:52:55.00
he who confesses
Me before others,
00:52:55.04\00:52:56.74
I'll confess before the Father,
00:52:56.77\00:52:58.34
he who does not
confessed Me before others,
00:52:58.37\00:53:00.18
well, you don't need Me.
00:53:00.21\00:53:02.74
What do I say for you?
00:53:02.78\00:53:05.61
You want to put it all
in those nail scared hands.
00:53:05.65\00:53:10.82
And those prayer is
already covered you to the max,
00:53:10.85\00:53:14.09
you are covered.
00:53:14.12\00:53:16.22
You may be here to worship
God, but you just say, man,
00:53:16.26\00:53:18.16
I wasn't even planed
to be here but I'm here,
00:53:18.19\00:53:20.86
and the spirit is
speaking to you then come on.
00:53:20.90\00:53:26.33
They're coming.
00:53:26.37\00:53:29.44
Thirty years is a long time
for carrying that little secret.
00:53:29.47\00:53:32.51
And if by saying that,
00:53:35.98\00:53:37.31
that puts too
much pressure on you
00:53:37.35\00:53:38.68
to come forward, I understand.
00:53:38.71\00:53:41.35
If you will mark this box
00:53:41.38\00:53:45.62
we will pray over your name.
00:53:45.65\00:53:47.52
And if you're too
embarrassed to put your name,
00:53:52.26\00:53:56.46
you just turn it in,
00:53:56.50\00:53:58.93
you just put a
little check mark.
00:53:58.97\00:54:01.80
That's appropriate, do
you leave your name off.
00:54:01.84\00:54:05.21
We're not
interested in doing anything
00:54:05.24\00:54:06.88
but facilitating this moment
00:54:06.91\00:54:08.48
so that you can
let go what God says,
00:54:08.51\00:54:11.48
it's no more in my
mind, it's not in my heart,
00:54:11.51\00:54:15.02
I got a new journey,
00:54:15.05\00:54:16.38
I got a new
chapter to write for you.
00:54:16.42\00:54:19.12
Let me write it,
just give me permission.
00:54:19.15\00:54:21.89
How many want to say
with these who come forward,
00:54:26.29\00:54:28.93
no matter what check mark
you've put here or haven't,
00:54:28.96\00:54:32.60
but how many want to say,
you know what, Dwight, yeah,
00:54:32.63\00:54:36.44
I want it clean, I
want all the secrets,
00:54:36.47\00:54:39.64
I want Him to have it all,
He already knows it all anyway.
00:54:39.67\00:54:43.08
I'm putting my hand up,
00:54:43.11\00:54:44.45
and if you would
be willing to say,
00:54:44.48\00:54:45.81
Got, I'm going to give you
that because I know exactly
00:54:45.85\00:54:48.98
what it is you're asking for.
00:54:49.02\00:54:53.62
Just put your hands
up while you're sitting.
00:54:53.66\00:54:56.29
Just your hand
up and say, Jesus.
00:54:56.32\00:54:58.69
Now look, you didn't have
to walk up so hold your hand,
00:54:58.73\00:55:00.33
just hold your hand.
00:55:00.36\00:55:01.70
Don't be
embarrassed, just hold it up.
00:55:01.73\00:55:04.23
You're operationalizing
a decision and saying,
00:55:04.27\00:55:06.27
Jesus, this intimacy barrier
00:55:06.30\00:55:07.74
that we haven't
been able to cross it,
00:55:07.77\00:55:09.17
how old am I now?
00:55:09.20\00:55:10.54
Good, nine, I am that old?
00:55:10.57\00:55:12.81
I want to break that
intimacy barrier with you,
00:55:12.84\00:55:14.98
I want to let you
know that I know you know,
00:55:15.01\00:55:18.08
and so I'm
giving you everything,
00:55:18.11\00:55:19.51
everything in my life.
00:55:19.55\00:55:24.05
Oh, marvelous, marvelous grace.
00:55:24.09\00:55:28.96
Oh, God, I praise Your
name for these who come forward.
00:55:28.99\00:55:32.89
Ah, it always takes a little bit
00:55:32.93\00:55:35.06
of gumption and courage
00:55:35.10\00:55:36.43
to step up in
front of everybody and.
00:55:36.46\00:55:40.20
But you know what, Lord,
Jesus with a cross on his back
00:55:40.24\00:55:45.27
all alone dragged it
to the top of Golgotha.
00:55:45.31\00:55:50.75
He did it to
operationalize the prayer,
00:55:50.78\00:55:52.75
Father forgive him, forgive her,
00:55:52.78\00:55:54.42
she did know what she was doing.
00:55:54.45\00:55:57.05
Bring it to me,
child, just bring it to me,
00:55:57.09\00:55:59.75
I'll bury in the
depths of the sea
00:55:59.79\00:56:01.72
and I will
remember your sin no more.
00:56:01.76\00:56:04.99
It's not between
you and me ever again.
00:56:05.03\00:56:07.53
I've dropped it, I
dropped it 2,000 years ago.
00:56:07.56\00:56:11.27
Drop it now,
please, drop it in my hand.
00:56:11.30\00:56:14.37
I'll take it
00:56:14.40\00:56:15.80
and then I'll breathe into you
00:56:15.84\00:56:17.24
all the power
and grace and courage
00:56:17.27\00:56:20.41
you need to live boldly for Me.
00:56:20.44\00:56:23.11
I know what this means for you
00:56:23.14\00:56:26.11
but you have Me,
00:56:26.15\00:56:28.98
and I'm with you.
00:56:29.02\00:56:30.49
I am with you
till the end of the age
00:56:30.52\00:56:33.66
so stay with Me,
we'll go together.
00:56:33.69\00:56:37.69
In that intimacy, you watch.
00:56:37.73\00:56:41.63
It will be there, you
and me, every morning alone.
00:56:41.66\00:56:45.53
Oh, Father, take our
raised hands in these decisions
00:56:45.57\00:56:48.64
and seal this moment.
00:56:48.67\00:56:50.91
Made this almost too good
to be true picture of You.
00:56:50.94\00:56:54.48
Be what remains in our
hearts until Jesus comes.
00:56:54.51\00:56:59.48
Amen. Amen.
00:56:59.51\00:57:01.05
May I take an
extra moment with you
00:57:04.92\00:57:06.25
and let you know
how grateful I am
00:57:06.29\00:57:07.86
