Who was Jesus?
00:00:09.77\00:00:11.71
He had compassion for
the weak and the hurting.
00:00:12.11\00:00:15.24
He loved every person He met
00:00:15.64\00:00:17.71
and taught them how to love.
00:00:17.91\00:00:20.32
His great heart helped
all those who came near Him
00:00:20.85\00:00:24.12
but most of all He was a friend.
00:00:24.52\00:00:26.96
That was who He was.
00:00:27.89\00:00:29.59
Now find out who He IS.
00:00:29.99\00:00:33.23
Hello and welcome back
to Summer Camp Meeting.
00:00:39.67\00:00:42.20
We're so blessed that you're
able to join us this evening.
00:00:42.40\00:00:44.87
It's hard to believe that we're
already into Thursday evening.
00:00:45.07\00:00:47.64
What an incredible
spiritual high Camp Meeting is!
00:00:47.84\00:00:50.35
We're here
saying "Amen! " at 3ABN
00:00:50.55\00:00:52.75
and we can hear you at
home saying the same as well.
00:00:52.95\00:00:56.28
You know, but the key is
when we're spiritually filled
00:00:56.69\00:00:58.85
we can't just
keep it inside, right?
00:00:59.05\00:01:01.06
We have to share it with others.
00:01:01.26\00:01:03.22
So one way of doing that is
to tell others like: "Hey! "
00:01:03.53\00:01:05.69
Your family, your friends,
and as Mr. Danny always says
00:01:05.89\00:01:07.86
even your enemies.
Tell them: "Tune in to 3ABN
00:01:08.06\00:01:11.03
on satellite, on
Dish Network, Roku,
00:01:11.23\00:01:13.37
maybe even the new 3ABN+. "
00:01:13.57\00:01:15.74
Yes. There's many ways that
they can get this programming.
00:01:15.94\00:01:17.74
OR you can always
watch it video on demand.
00:01:17.94\00:01:20.51
That's on 3ABN+ or
on YouTube as well.
00:01:20.71\00:01:23.51
You can watch these messages,
the music hours over and over
00:01:23.71\00:01:26.82
again. But what a
blessing to be able to join you
00:01:27.02\00:01:29.05
here for Summer Camp Meeting.
00:01:29.25\00:01:30.79
I love Camp Meeting - that's
right - and I'm excited about
00:01:30.99\00:01:33.09
tonight's presentations with the
sermons AND we're starting with
00:01:33.29\00:01:36.56
music hour. That's right!
We're here of course with Danny
00:01:36.76\00:01:38.69
and Yvonne Shelton and a
special guest. So John Stoddart.
00:01:38.89\00:01:42.13
Welcome... we're
so glad to have you.
00:01:42.33\00:01:43.67
Thank you, thank you so
much. Glad to be here, Jill.
00:01:43.87\00:01:46.17
Dr. Yvonne, you've known
this gentleman for a number
00:01:46.37\00:01:48.47
of years? Yes. You know,
I first... Several years ago
00:01:48.67\00:01:52.27
I was at Oakwood and I
heard this man at the piano
00:01:52.47\00:01:58.05
singing. And I
said: "Who is that? "
00:01:58.25\00:02:00.88
Incredible talent. Oh my!
00:02:02.72\00:02:04.65
And then after I met
John and got to know him
00:02:04.85\00:02:07.46
and see his beautiful
spirit... What an amazing gift
00:02:07.66\00:02:11.36
and what an amazing spirit of
humility that the Lord has given
00:02:11.56\00:02:15.33
you. So we are so
happy that you're here.
00:02:15.53\00:02:17.60
We worked him so hard
the last time he was here!
00:02:17.80\00:02:21.17
It's terrible. One time he
didn't bring enough clothes.
00:02:21.37\00:02:25.84
I think he ended up wearing T-
shirts & I don't know what all
00:02:26.04\00:02:28.51
'cause she was going to
work him while he was here.
00:02:28.71\00:02:30.75
It's like he's just so good
we've gotta keep him in music.
00:02:30.95\00:02:34.92
You know, but we
appreciate your attitude
00:02:35.12\00:02:37.79
and John, you've been blessed.
As you know, God has gifted you.
00:02:37.99\00:02:40.66
Very few people I've
ever heard or listened to have
00:02:40.86\00:02:43.09
such an incredible talent.
I mean, music... you guys know
00:02:43.29\00:02:46.90
music. You know, not just your
singing but your piano, too.
00:02:47.10\00:02:51.03
It's really not
fair so it shows you
00:02:51.30\00:02:53.00
this life is not fair.
But when we get to heaven
00:02:53.20\00:02:56.64
we're going to be
up there with you.
00:02:56.84\00:02:58.17
We're beside you
now, John, something.
00:02:58.21\00:03:01.28
See, we're gonna be over
there together singing together
00:03:01.48\00:03:04.21
having a good time.
Thank you so much for coming.
00:03:04.41\00:03:06.68
It's always a thrill to be here
at 3ABN sharing with you guys
00:03:06.88\00:03:11.19
and getting to share with you.
You brought your wife this time!
00:03:11.39\00:03:13.52
I did! I did! She's my
biggest cheerleading section.
00:03:13.72\00:03:17.56
So I always sing a
little better when she's here.
00:03:17.76\00:03:21.06
You're going to get a
little something extra.
00:03:21.26\00:03:23.70
Great. You know, we
appreciate your spirit, too.
00:03:25.53\00:03:27.60
Just adding on to
what Mr. Danny said.
00:03:27.90\00:03:29.24
Your attitude's phenomenal. We
were talking to some of the crew
00:03:29.27\00:03:31.07
before we went
live here this evening
00:03:31.27\00:03:32.61
and just saying:
"Wow! The spirit. "
00:03:32.64\00:03:33.98
'Cause there's a lot of
talent but to have the attitude
00:03:34.11\00:03:35.88
and spirit that you love
Jesus it just comes through.
00:03:36.08\00:03:37.98
The humility.
You're absolutely right.
00:03:38.18\00:03:39.98
Mr. Danny, one project
that we've been talking about is
00:03:40.18\00:03:42.88
the Focus on Truth project.
We talked about it opening night
00:03:43.08\00:03:45.69
here. An incredible project of
three brand-new little booklets.
00:03:45.89\00:03:49.59
We have an amazing
update 'cause we actually have
00:03:49.79\00:03:51.96
a way that you can
participate this very evening.
00:03:52.16\00:03:56.03
Why don't you tell us
a little more about that
00:03:56.23\00:03:57.57
and Mr. Danny as well.
Yeah, the Focus on Truth
00:03:57.60\00:03:59.63
project... Maybe, Danny,
you want to talk to them about -
00:03:59.83\00:04:02.24
the project a bit - OK - and
then I'll talk about the special
00:04:02.44\00:04:04.57
pricing amd the
offers we have tonight. Good.
00:04:04.77\00:04:06.94
If there's ever been a time
in the world where they need
00:04:07.31\00:04:09.78
truth it's today. That's right!
Would you agree with that?
00:04:09.98\00:04:12.11
And so we put
together some little books -
00:04:12.31\00:04:14.72
Yvonne and me working together -
00:04:14.92\00:04:16.69
on different Bible topics. One
of them is What About Hell Fire?
00:04:16.89\00:04:20.42
There's so much out
there among Christians
00:04:20.62\00:04:23.06
not just people that are
not believing. Christians can't
00:04:23.26\00:04:26.16
decide what the Bible
really says about the subject of
00:04:26.36\00:04:30.17
hell fire. About salvation.
00:04:30.37\00:04:32.27
Seems to be a simple simple:
salvation is a free gift.
00:04:32.47\00:04:36.50
But even with
the Christian church
00:04:36.71\00:04:38.74
there are so many
different viewpoints
00:04:38.94\00:04:40.98
and so many different
00:04:41.18\00:04:42.51
I hate to use this word but
angles that people come from.
00:04:42.54\00:04:45.05
Sometimes it's manipulative
in how, why you should be saved
00:04:45.25\00:04:49.78
and all of these, but
we just want to find out
00:04:49.98\00:04:51.92
what the Bible
says about salvation.
00:04:52.12\00:04:54.76
We're going to talk about
sanctification, justification,
00:04:55.16\00:04:57.49
righteousness by
faith. I mean all of these are
00:04:57.69\00:05:00.60
so important. And we literally
try to go back to the beginning
00:05:00.80\00:05:04.87
of time and even in
heaven when war started you know
00:05:05.07\00:05:07.97
with Michael and His
angels. So we get into salvation
00:05:08.17\00:05:10.87
then we go to the Ten
Commandments. Tell them.
00:05:11.27\00:05:15.04
I love this
booklet because it actually
00:05:15.94\00:05:19.41
gives us like a focus on truth
about the Ten Commandments.
00:05:19.61\00:05:24.32
Are they still in effect?
Do we still have to keep them?
00:05:24.52\00:05:27.16
Have they been
nailed to the cross?
00:05:27.36\00:05:28.69
I mean all of these
things are questions
00:05:28.89\00:05:31.53
or concerns and a
little bit of controversy
00:05:31.73\00:05:34.90
that you know is
within the Christian church
00:05:35.10\00:05:37.33
as well as people
who are not in church.
00:05:37.53\00:05:40.60
So this will let us
know what does the Bible say.
00:05:40.80\00:05:43.30
I think that opinion
is neither here nor there.
00:05:43.51\00:05:46.57
We want to know what
"Thus saith the Lord. "
00:05:46.78\00:05:49.04
And so that's what this is.
00:05:49.24\00:05:51.18
So we're doing a number. We
might do 9 or 10 books total
00:05:51.38\00:05:53.88
but we've done 3... and
so happy to get these done.
00:05:54.08\00:05:57.22
So we have Focus on
the Ten Commandments...
00:05:57.42\00:05:59.02
We call them Focus on Truth
00:05:59.22\00:06:01.29
But like Focus on
the Ten Commandments,
00:06:01.49\00:06:03.32
on Hell Fire, on Salvation...
That's the first three
00:06:03.53\00:06:06.90
that we've got done. But
it's something we've never
00:06:07.10\00:06:09.16
done before. I'm thankful
that we have sponsorship.
00:06:09.36\00:06:12.13
People who've said...
They've seen the project
00:06:12.33\00:06:15.40
and said: "We'll put
up some money for that
00:06:15.60\00:06:17.21
so people don't have to buy. "
00:06:17.41\00:06:19.87
But we're going to make
it easy for you to get them.
00:06:20.08\00:06:21.98
And maybe Jill you
can tell us how to do it.
00:06:22.18\00:06:24.25
It's not an unlimited number
but there's quite a few that...
00:06:24.45\00:06:28.12
That's right. Absolutely.
I'm so excited about this
00:06:28.52\00:06:30.95
evangelistic opportunity
that you have at home
00:06:31.15\00:06:34.22
to partner with the ministry
of 3ABN in spreading the gospel
00:06:34.42\00:06:38.49
in sharing the Focus on
Hell, the state of the dead,
00:06:38.69\00:06:41.86
Focus on the Ten Commandments
and Focus on Salvation.
00:06:42.06\00:06:45.33
So right now as Mr.
Danny already alluded to
00:06:45.53\00:06:48.60
people have sponsored the
printing of a certain number
00:06:48.80\00:06:51.97
of the beginning of
this process of the booklets.
00:06:52.17\00:06:54.64
So right now all you have to do
00:06:54.84\00:06:56.41
you can call us right now.
00:06:56.61\00:06:58.11
The Call Center is open.
00:06:58.31\00:06:59.78
That number is:
00:06:59.98\00:07:01.32
and there's two ways
that you can partner with us
00:07:04.15\00:07:06.86
in evangelistically spreading
00:07:07.06\00:07:08.62
this booket. The first way
00:07:08.82\00:07:10.26
is to sponsor a zipcode mailing
00:07:10.46\00:07:12.66
in your community.
00:07:12.86\00:07:14.63
Now the zipcode mailing is
00:07:15.13\00:07:16.90
for all three of the booklets
00:07:17.10\00:07:18.63
so you're not sponsoring just
00:07:18.83\00:07:20.17
the booklet on
the state of the dead
00:07:20.30\00:07:21.64
or just the booklet
on the Ten Commandments
00:07:21.70\00:07:23.91
or just the
booklet on salvation.
00:07:24.11\00:07:25.81
You would be sponsoring
00:07:26.01\00:07:27.44
all three booklets. They will be
00:07:27.64\00:07:29.34
put together in a full-color
00:07:29.54\00:07:32.25
envelope mailed
to peoples' homes
00:07:32.45\00:07:34.65
and you can do
that for 50 cents.
00:07:34.85\00:07:36.92
Oh my! For only 50 cents
00:07:37.12\00:07:39.59
per home you can send 3 of these
00:07:39.79\00:07:42.92
booklets to your neighborhood
00:07:43.12\00:07:44.76
or your
community. And the shipping?
00:07:44.96\00:07:46.63
That's the shipping. Absolutely!
00:07:46.83\00:07:48.30
Fifty cents. Think about that,
John. Less than the price of one
00:07:48.53\00:07:51.57
stamp. Wow! You get three
books - fifty-page books -
00:07:51.77\00:07:55.04
packaged together
00:07:55.34\00:07:57.14
in envelopes - um-hmm -
00:07:57.34\00:07:58.67
mailed to the zipcode of
your choice - that's right -
00:07:58.87\00:08:01.61
thanks to some of our donors
00:08:01.81\00:08:03.85
for less than the
price of one stamp.
00:08:04.05\00:08:06.65
Is that right? That's right...
00:08:06.85\00:08:08.18
absolutely!
Fifty cents for that.
00:08:08.32\00:08:10.59
Or if you want there's another
00:08:10.79\00:08:12.79
option if you want to distribute
00:08:12.99\00:08:14.36
the books yourself, you can
00:08:14.56\00:08:15.89
order them by the case.
00:08:15.92\00:08:17.26
And the cost is only $16.50.
00:08:17.29\00:08:21.20
That covers the shipping cost
00:08:21.40\00:08:23.37
per case of the booklets.
00:08:23.57\00:08:25.10
So you might say: "I would like
00:08:25.30\00:08:26.74
one case of the
Salvation booklets. "
00:08:26.94\00:08:29.27
How many are in a
case? 250 booklets.
00:08:29.47\00:08:31.37
250 for $16.50?
Mailed to your house.
00:08:31.57\00:08:35.81
So then you can take the books
00:08:36.01\00:08:37.81
and you can pass them out
00:08:38.01\00:08:39.35
and you can distribute
them in your community.
00:08:39.55\00:08:42.05
So right now the Call Center
00:08:42.25\00:08:43.69
is open. You can call and say:
00:08:43.89\00:08:45.22
"Yes! I want to be part of this
00:08:45.25\00:08:46.59
project! I want to sponsor
00:08:46.62\00:08:48.36
a zipcode mailing" or maybe
00:08:48.56\00:08:49.89
you want some of those cases.
00:08:50.06\00:08:51.39
So call us at:
00:08:51.43\00:08:52.76
or you can
always order online at
00:08:55.20\00:08:57.57
and that's a great way, too.
00:08:59.17\00:09:00.50
You know, Mr. Danny, I
was really excited about
00:09:00.77\00:09:02.14
this project because
you think about it...
00:09:02.34\00:09:03.71
It's amazing.
The three booklets.
00:09:03.91\00:09:05.24
The booklets are
printed in four colors,
00:09:05.27\00:09:06.78
have beautiful illus-
trations on the inside.
00:09:06.98\00:09:09.14
So you have these 3 different
topics that you mentioned.
00:09:09.34\00:09:11.25
They're put inside of
a full-color envelope.
00:09:11.45\00:09:13.92
It's incredible, right?
00:09:14.22\00:09:15.82
You've got three 4-color
booklets in a beautiful envelope
00:09:16.02\00:09:18.65
that's shipped to a zipcode
00:09:18.85\00:09:20.19
for 50 cents!
That's the three booklets,
00:09:20.22\00:09:22.49
the envelope and the postage
00:09:22.69\00:09:24.06
to a zipcode in your area
00:09:24.26\00:09:25.79
or of your choice. I mean that
00:09:25.99\00:09:27.33
is amazing because it costs me
00:09:27.36\00:09:28.73
55 cents to mail
one little letter.
00:09:28.93\00:09:31.77
Right! Right! And
it's amazing because the
00:09:31.97\00:09:33.87
sponsors have stepped forward,
Mr. Danny. And that's what makes
00:09:34.07\00:09:36.04
this possible. I mean,
it's phenomenal because
00:09:36.24\00:09:37.91
we know you love evangelism.
00:09:38.11\00:09:39.57
3ABN Camp Meeting we were
talking just a few minutes ago
00:09:39.77\00:09:41.98
about sharing and
spreading to others.
00:09:42.18\00:09:43.85
Well, this is one
way that you can do that.
00:09:44.05\00:09:45.71
I praise the Lord for
the opportunity to do this.
00:09:46.48\00:09:49.32
We've tried to take each subject
00:09:49.52\00:09:51.92
and write it not from our
00:09:52.12\00:09:53.96
perspective... from the Biblical
00:09:54.16\00:09:55.82
perspective but keeping in mind
00:09:56.02\00:09:57.99
what a lot of denominations...
00:09:58.19\00:09:59.86
And I've talked
to other pastors.
00:10:00.06\00:10:01.40
Some of the books in the past
00:10:01.50\00:10:03.23
what I'd do is I sent like one
00:10:03.43\00:10:04.83
to eight different
pastors not of our faith
00:10:05.03\00:10:06.97
and said: "What do
you think about this? "
00:10:07.37\00:10:08.84
And they'd write back and say:
00:10:09.04\00:10:10.37
"Well, I don't agree with this"
00:10:10.41\00:10:11.74
or "I don't agree with that. "
00:10:11.77\00:10:13.11
So then we would
way: "OK, thank you. "
00:10:13.14\00:10:14.48
We'd switch it and tailor it.
00:10:14.51\00:10:15.98
So we've tried
to answer basically
00:10:16.18\00:10:17.95
every question you
can on these subjects
00:10:18.15\00:10:20.42
in that short of a time.
00:10:20.62\00:10:21.95
Butwe prraise the Lord
and we want to thank our
00:10:22.02\00:10:23.89
our viewers and our
donors who made it possible
00:10:24.09\00:10:27.69
for the first I think close...
We're gonna say at least a
00:10:27.89\00:10:30.73
million... that
we're able to do this.
00:10:30.93\00:10:32.69
That's right! They
say: "Well that's a lot! "
00:10:32.89\00:10:34.83
But this COVID book:
there was over 6 million
00:10:35.03\00:10:37.00
of those that
went out. Incredible!
00:10:37.20\00:10:38.53
So this one I would say that...
00:10:38.73\00:10:40.07
that as long as
they're available
00:10:40.24\00:10:42.54
for 50 cents we'd love to do it
00:10:42.74\00:10:44.81
and zipcode of your choice.
00:10:45.01\00:10:46.44
Amen. Oh yeah, this is exciting.
00:10:46.64\00:10:48.04
We've got another music
hour in store this evening
00:10:48.24\00:10:50.31
but we've also got
some messages afterwards.
00:10:50.51\00:10:52.11
Tell us who we'll be listening
to after the music hour.
00:10:52.55\00:10:54.12
Directly after the music
hour we're going to hear from
00:10:54.32\00:10:56.55
Pastor David Shin.
His message will be on
00:10:56.75\00:10:58.75
Jesus as our Servant Leader.
00:10:58.95\00:11:00.96
Then we're going to hear
from Pastor Wintley Phipps.
00:11:01.16\00:11:03.49
Both of them are
anointed men of God.
00:11:03.69\00:11:05.89
Pastor Phipps'
message is specifically on
00:11:06.09\00:11:08.66
Jesus, the Suffering Servant.
00:11:08.86\00:11:11.03
Jesus our Redeemer.
00:11:11.23\00:11:13.13
I'm looking forward
to what God's gonna do
00:11:13.34\00:11:14.90
in and through
them. But first we have
00:11:15.10\00:11:16.91
we can say Pastor
John Stoddart. Doctor.
00:11:17.11\00:11:21.04
He's going to
minister to us through music.
00:11:21.91\00:11:24.61
So thank you. Thank you so much.
00:11:24.81\00:11:26.31
I'm so grateful
we have a High Priest
00:11:26.72\00:11:28.88
who knows exactly how we
feel, what we're going through.
00:11:29.08\00:11:33.36
Touched with the
feeling of our inifirmities.
00:11:33.96\00:11:37.13
I can feel your pain in My side.
00:11:40.26\00:11:43.10
I can see the
tears you can't cry.
00:11:43.30\00:11:46.33
Oh, oh, oh, oh...
00:11:50.71\00:11:52.87
I know sometimes you feel alone
00:11:53.27\00:11:56.34
I keep praying
to the sky of stone.
00:11:56.54\00:12:00.45
Oh, oh...
00:12:03.28\00:12:04.99
But you never know
how much you mean to Me...
00:12:05.52\00:12:10.23
how forever my love can be.
00:12:12.56\00:12:17.60
Have you ever been lonely?
00:12:19.03\00:12:22.34
Then I know how you feel
00:12:22.54\00:12:25.41
when the nearest
help's a million miles away.
00:12:25.94\00:12:31.55
When you're lookin' for sunshine
00:12:32.85\00:12:36.05
in the middle of the day,
00:12:36.25\00:12:39.42
then I know how you feel...
00:12:39.62\00:12:43.19
But it's gonna be OK.
00:12:44.33\00:12:48.90
Oh thank you, Jesus.
00:12:50.53\00:12:52.07
I know all about
your heartaches...
00:12:53.94\00:12:57.47
all the love you try to fake
00:12:57.67\00:13:01.08
without breakin'
just breakin' down.
00:13:02.64\00:13:07.35
I've had one or
two of those days
00:13:07.55\00:13:10.99
when no matter
what you do or say
00:13:11.19\00:13:14.06
nothin's gonna
stop the pain, Lord.
00:13:14.26\00:13:19.69
But you never know how much
00:13:19.89\00:13:22.83
you mean to Me
00:13:23.03\00:13:25.33
till you see Me at Calvary.
00:13:26.43\00:13:31.67
Have you ever been lonely?
00:13:31.97\00:13:34.78
Whoo! Then I know how you feel
00:13:34.98\00:13:39.85
when the nearest
hug's a million miles...
00:13:40.05\00:13:43.85
million miles away.
00:13:44.05\00:13:47.26
When you're lookin' for sunshine
00:13:47.46\00:13:50.33
in the middle of the day
00:13:50.53\00:13:53.40
then I know how you feel.
00:13:53.60\00:13:58.60
But it's gonna be OK.
00:13:58.80\00:14:01.84
I'll never
leave you... no, no...
00:14:02.54\00:14:07.18
I know the sun
is gonna shine again
00:14:09.14\00:14:14.88
and I can tell you
how the story's gonna end:
00:14:15.28\00:14:20.36
you're gonna make it.
00:14:20.56\00:14:26.53
Have you ever been lonely?
00:14:27.63\00:14:30.33
Jesus knows how it feels
00:14:31.53\00:14:34.44
when the nearest help's a
million miles, so far away.
00:14:34.74\00:14:40.71
When you're lookin' for sunshine
00:14:40.91\00:14:44.41
in the middle of the day
00:14:44.61\00:14:47.55
then I know... I
know how it feels!
00:14:47.95\00:14:52.82
Have you ever been lonely?
00:14:53.02\00:14:57.23
Then I know how you feel
00:14:57.63\00:15:00.70
oh when the nearest help's
a million miles, a million
00:15:00.90\00:15:05.83
milies a way.
00:15:06.03\00:15:08.17
When you're lookin' for sunshine
00:15:08.37\00:15:11.47
in the middle of the day
00:15:11.67\00:15:14.41
oh then I know,
00:15:14.61\00:15:16.58
I know, I know how you feel
00:15:16.98\00:15:21.12
but it's gonna be, it's gonna be
00:15:21.52\00:15:24.99
it's gonna be OK.
00:15:25.19\00:15:28.32
It's gonna be, it's gonna be OK.
00:15:28.72\00:15:34.63
Are you grateful?
00:15:38.63\00:15:40.17
Be grateful for that promise
today that not only does Jesus
00:15:40.37\00:15:43.34
understand what
we're going through,
00:15:43.54\00:15:46.47
not only does He see and hear
00:15:46.88\00:15:49.41
and feels from a distance
00:15:49.61\00:15:52.01
but He
empathizes... He's with us
00:15:52.21\00:15:54.55
right there in the
middle of whatever it is
00:15:54.75\00:15:57.09
we're going through.
He highs, the lows...
00:15:57.29\00:15:59.22
the fear, the
disappointments, the struggles.
00:15:59.42\00:16:02.32
He's right there with
us; He knows how we feel.
00:16:02.72\00:16:05.63
I tell you: I'm
grateful that we have
00:16:05.83\00:16:08.16
this gift of
grace... this gift that says
00:16:08.36\00:16:12.33
"You know what? I know
John doesn't deserve it.
00:16:12.53\00:16:15.07
I know that John is messed up.
00:16:15.27\00:16:17.64
I know that John has
a long way to go before
00:16:17.84\00:16:20.24
he looks like Me
but I'm workin' on him.
00:16:20.44\00:16:23.11
Every day as he submits to Me. "
00:16:23.31\00:16:25.98
He's re-making us in His image.
00:16:26.18\00:16:28.45
And this gift of
grace that He's given us
00:16:28.85\00:16:32.22
is something that allows
us to wake up every morning
00:16:32.42\00:16:35.96
to try again. Not
with the fear that
00:16:36.16\00:16:41.26
you know, "Man, if I mess up
God's gonna strike me down. "
00:16:41.46\00:16:44.50
He's not waiting to
punish me or to point out every
00:16:44.70\00:16:49.10
mistake that I make.
00:16:49.30\00:16:50.64
But His grace is there
to allow me the strength
00:16:50.67\00:16:54.24
and courage to keep striving,
00:16:54.44\00:16:56.81
to keep pushing, to keep
submitting and surrendering
00:16:57.01\00:17:00.95
myself to this awesome
process of sanctification
00:17:01.15\00:17:03.82
where God is taking
me right from where I am
00:17:04.02\00:17:07.39
and allowing me, re-shaping me
00:17:07.79\00:17:09.99
so that one day I'm
going to look exactly like Him.
00:17:10.19\00:17:13.16
It's because of His
grace that I'm able to do this.
00:17:13.56\00:17:17.20
Listen to the
words of this next song.
00:17:17.40\00:17:19.10
Time measured out my days
00:17:34.58\00:17:39.45
Life carried me along
00:17:41.49\00:17:47.03
In my soul I yearned
00:17:49.36\00:17:53.60
to follow God
00:17:53.80\00:17:56.50
but knew I'd never be so strong.
00:17:57.27\00:18:03.21
I looked hard at this world
00:18:03.61\00:18:08.58
to learn how heaven
00:18:08.78\00:18:11.72
could be gained
00:18:12.12\00:18:16.73
just to end where I began:
00:18:17.63\00:18:22.40
where human effort
00:18:23.00\00:18:26.07
was all in vain.
00:18:26.27\00:18:32.21
Were it not for grace
00:18:32.91\00:18:38.81
I can tell you where
00:18:41.08\00:18:46.19
I'd be:
00:18:46.39\00:18:48.39
wand'ring down
00:18:48.79\00:18:50.53
some pointless road to nowhere
00:18:50.73\00:18:56.10
with my salvation up to me.
00:18:56.80\00:19:02.74
I know how that would go,
00:19:03.10\00:19:08.28
the battles I would face:
00:19:10.45\00:19:16.35
forever running
00:19:19.42\00:19:22.62
but losing the race
00:19:23.43\00:19:26.33
were it not for grace.
00:19:27.10\00:19:33.07
So here is all my praise
00:19:46.05\00:19:49.62
expressed with all my heart
00:19:53.02\00:19:58.86
offered to the Friend
00:20:00.50\00:20:05.30
who took my place
00:20:05.50\00:20:08.54
and ran a course
I could not start
00:20:09.07\00:20:14.58
And when He saw in full
00:20:15.34\00:20:20.08
just how much
00:20:20.28\00:20:23.42
His love would cost
00:20:23.62\00:20:28.89
He still went the final mile
00:20:29.56\00:20:33.80
between me and heaven
00:20:34.00\00:20:37.80
so I would not be lost!
00:20:38.00\00:20:43.91
Were it not for grace
00:20:45.47\00:20:49.74
I can tell you where
00:20:52.95\00:20:57.95
I'd be:
00:20:58.15\00:21:00.26
wand'ring down
some pointless road
00:21:00.46\00:21:05.93
to nowhere
00:21:06.13\00:21:08.20
with my salvation up to me
00:21:08.90\00:21:14.57
I know how that
00:21:14.97\00:21:17.21
would go
00:21:17.61\00:21:22.71
the battles I would face
00:21:22.91\00:21:28.88
Forever running
00:21:31.65\00:21:34.92
but losing the race
00:21:37.73\00:21:41.13
were it not for grace...
00:21:41.33\00:21:47.30
forever running
00:21:49.10\00:21:52.97
but losing the race
00:21:53.84\00:21:57.35
were it not
00:21:58.58\00:22:00.75
for grace.
00:22:01.55\00:22:07.49
Hallelujah!
00:22:18.20\00:22:21.40
I'm so grateful.
You know, that is a gift
00:22:21.80\00:22:25.47
that we don't
think enough about.
00:22:26.27\00:22:29.84
And I know I have
to just remind myself.
00:22:30.05\00:22:32.31
That song always
puts me back in the place
00:22:32.51\00:22:35.78
where I just realize...
00:22:35.98\00:22:40.36
You know, when you
look in the mirror...
00:22:40.56\00:22:41.89
As a song... a song writer
00:22:41.92\00:22:43.26
you look in the
mirror and you realize
00:22:43.43\00:22:47.13
when you're honest with yourself
00:22:47.53\00:22:49.56
that: "Man, if it
were not for grace..."
00:22:49.96\00:22:53.84
And how dare we be
impatient with other people?
00:22:54.24\00:22:57.57
When we think about the
amount of grace that we require
00:22:58.54\00:23:02.24
it should prompt us to
be lavish with the grace
00:23:02.84\00:23:06.72
that we dispense to others.
00:23:06.92\00:23:08.42
And I mentioned I
was a song writer...
00:23:08.62\00:23:10.55
and that's a fancy
word for storyteller.
00:23:10.75\00:23:14.59
So I want to share
a song with you now
00:23:15.19\00:23:18.03
that I didn't write. It
was written by a guy named
00:23:19.09\00:23:22.30
Chris Rice. But
it's just a song that
00:23:22.50\00:23:25.63
for me it paints
such a vivid picture.
00:23:25.83\00:23:29.10
And I'm not even going to
tell you any more about it
00:23:29.30\00:23:32.67
other than that, but just listen
to the words of this next song.
00:23:32.87\00:23:35.74
And close your eyes, and I'm
going to try to paint a picture
00:23:36.14\00:23:38.65
and see if you can see
this picture that I'm painting.
00:23:39.15\00:23:41.95
This is a song called My Tree.
00:23:42.15\00:23:44.59
On a hill far away
00:24:01.80\00:24:04.71
stood a tall mighty tree
00:24:05.57\00:24:08.64
where a boy and
girl used to take turns
00:24:09.41\00:24:12.68
pushin' a tire swing.
00:24:12.88\00:24:14.68
I remember the
pocketknife in hand
00:24:15.82\00:24:19.42
and her name in my heart
00:24:19.62\00:24:23.22
thinkin' there ain't no
way for a boy to explain
00:24:23.63\00:24:27.46
the love that he feels inside.
00:24:27.66\00:24:31.67
So I carved her
name into my tree
00:24:33.10\00:24:37.47
then I carved a
heart around her name
00:24:38.61\00:24:44.38
Then I carved an
arrow through the heart
00:24:45.11\00:24:50.39
just to say "I love you. "
00:24:52.35\00:24:55.99
On a hill far away
00:25:01.40\00:25:04.73
stood an old rugged cross
00:25:05.63\00:25:09.37
the emblem of
suffering and shame.
00:25:10.84\00:25:16.78
I remember the
nails through My hands
00:25:17.48\00:25:22.82
and your name in My heart.
00:25:23.02\00:25:26.55
How in their wordless way
00:25:26.76\00:25:29.72
the nails explain the
love that I feel inside.
00:25:29.92\00:25:35.43
As they carved
your name into My tree
00:25:35.63\00:25:40.00
where I wrapped My
heart around your name
00:25:41.34\00:25:46.68
then I took your
arrow through My heart
00:25:48.11\00:25:53.82
just to say "I love you...
00:25:55.92\00:25:59.79
I really love you.
00:26:01.19\00:26:04.59
Now while I can never forget
00:26:04.79\00:26:08.46
how much you mean to Me
00:26:08.66\00:26:12.23
since I will always remember
00:26:12.43\00:26:17.31
whenever I see
00:26:17.51\00:26:21.58
where they carved
your name into My tree
00:26:21.98\00:26:26.98
where I wrapped My
heart around your name
00:26:28.75\00:26:34.69
then I took your arrow
00:26:36.93\00:26:40.23
through My heart
00:26:41.10\00:26:45.37
just to say I love you. "
00:26:50.01\00:26:53.34
"How much I love you, child. "
00:27:00.15\00:27:04.85
You know that last
song? Sing a little bit of it.
00:28:13.79\00:28:16.22
Yes, Jesus
00:28:17.33\00:28:20.33
loves me;
00:28:20.53\00:28:23.26
Yes, Jesus
00:28:25.13\00:28:28.70
loves me;
00:28:29.00\00:28:31.91
Yes, Jesus loves me
00:28:34.21\00:28:40.12
for the Bible
00:28:40.58\00:28:44.25
tells me
00:28:44.89\00:28:49.16
so.
00:28:49.82\00:28:53.73
What a precious gift!
00:28:54.13\00:28:55.70
What an indescribable
gift! There are no words
00:28:56.36\00:29:00.00
when we begin to think about
00:29:00.60\00:29:02.70
what God did just to be
able to be close to us...
00:29:05.21\00:29:09.11
to let us know
how much God loves us.
00:29:10.11\00:29:14.15
I was speaking with a friend
of mine. She's a theologian
00:29:14.98\00:29:17.82
and she's done a lot of research
00:29:18.22\00:29:20.46
and study on the
topic of worship.
00:29:20.66\00:29:23.32
And she observed and
remarked how the Psalms -
00:29:23.89\00:29:27.60
you know those are
songs that were written
00:29:27.80\00:29:29.30
thousands of years ago -
00:29:29.76\00:29:31.53
and here we are these
thousands of years later
00:29:31.73\00:29:34.07
we have record of the
music - of the lyrics -
00:29:34.27\00:29:38.11
but not of the music.
00:29:38.31\00:29:39.64
And her theory is that
00:29:40.08\00:29:42.38
you know, the messages of
the saints and the messages
00:29:42.78\00:29:47.88
of the Psalms are
messages that are timeless.
00:29:48.08\00:29:52.29
And these messages are
given to each generation
00:29:52.49\00:29:57.29
to put their own music to.
00:29:57.49\00:29:59.33
And, you know, as an
arranger I love to hear that.
00:29:59.73\00:30:02.06
I love taking a song
that maybe is an old song
00:30:02.26\00:30:06.30
and coming up with my
own way of interpreting it
00:30:06.70\00:30:10.24
or way of making it my own.
00:30:10.44\00:30:11.77
And I'd like to do that with
this next song I want to share.
00:30:11.97\00:30:14.61
It's an old hymn and
it's one of my favorites.
00:30:14.98\00:30:18.85
Many of you will be
familiar with this song.
00:30:19.05\00:30:21.05
And I hope as you
reminisce on the words
00:30:21.45\00:30:24.35
and hear some new
melodies and some new harmonies
00:30:24.55\00:30:27.16
that the message will
continue to resonate with you
00:30:27.56\00:30:31.16
and perhaps the new
music will allow you in a way
00:30:31.56\00:30:34.66
to grasp hold of
this message once again.
00:30:34.86\00:30:37.30
To re-affirm, re-commit.
00:30:37.70\00:30:40.37
The name of this song
is called Come Thou Fount.
00:30:40.77\00:30:43.81
Come, thou fount of
00:30:59.49\00:31:03.32
every blessing...
00:31:03.73\00:31:06.59
tune my heart
to sing Your grace.
00:31:08.40\00:31:14.00
Streams of mercy
00:31:15.94\00:31:19.61
never ceasing
00:31:20.44\00:31:24.71
call for songs
of loudest praise.
00:31:25.18\00:31:29.55
Teach me ever to
00:31:30.79\00:31:34.59
adore Thee.
00:31:35.42\00:31:37.63
May I still Thy goodness prove
00:31:40.33\00:31:46.27
while the hope of
00:31:49.40\00:31:52.77
endless glory
00:31:53.41\00:31:57.78
fills my heart
with joy and love.
00:31:57.98\00:32:02.95
Here I raise my
00:32:17.47\00:32:20.20
Ebenezer;
00:32:21.34\00:32:24.81
hither by Your help I've come.
00:32:25.87\00:32:30.78
And I hope by...
00:32:33.52\00:32:36.55
by Thy good pleasure
00:32:37.45\00:32:41.72
safely to arrive home.
00:32:42.56\00:32:46.76
Jesus sought me
00:32:48.36\00:32:51.33
when a stranger
00:32:51.53\00:32:55.37
wand'ring from the fold of God.
00:32:58.04\00:33:03.98
He to rescue
00:33:07.35\00:33:10.02
me from danger
00:33:10.79\00:33:14.69
interposed His precious blood!
00:33:15.42\00:33:20.50
Oh!
00:33:20.96\00:33:23.57
Oh! Oh to grace how
00:33:33.17\00:33:38.85
great a debtor
00:33:39.95\00:33:43.85
daily I'm constrained to be.
00:33:44.32\00:33:50.29
Oh let Thy goodness...
00:33:51.49\00:33:54.96
goodness like a fetter
00:33:55.26\00:33:59.57
bind me closer, Lord, to Thee!
00:33:59.97\00:34:05.71
Prone to wander, Lord,
00:34:06.31\00:34:10.75
I feel it...
00:34:10.95\00:34:13.65
prone to leave
00:34:13.85\00:34:16.92
the God I love. Oh,
00:34:17.12\00:34:22.12
here's my heart, Lord,
00:34:24.03\00:34:27.00
please take and seal it...
00:34:27.56\00:34:31.97
seal it for Your courts above!
00:34:32.37\00:34:38.37
Prone to wander, Lord,
00:34:40.04\00:34:43.24
I feel it...
00:34:43.45\00:34:46.25
prone to leave the God
00:34:46.45\00:34:51.39
I love. Oh,
00:34:51.59\00:34:57.33
here is my heart, Lord,
00:34:57.63\00:35:00.70
please take and seal it...
00:35:01.10\00:35:05.80
seal it for Your courts above...
00:35:06.20\00:35:11.67
seal it for
00:35:13.54\00:35:15.51
Your courts above...
00:35:15.71\00:35:21.68
seal it for Your courts
00:35:23.22\00:35:28.42
above.
00:35:28.82\00:35:34.23
Amen! Thank you, Lord, so much.
00:35:56.55\00:35:58.95
I want to do another old
song while we're in this space,
00:35:59.15\00:36:02.62
but I don't want
to do it by myself.
00:36:02.82\00:36:04.19
I have some friends here:
Reggie and Ladye Love Smith.
00:36:04.59\00:36:07.23
I know they are
friends of yours.
00:36:07.43\00:36:08.76
But I just have been
dying to sing with them
00:36:08.83\00:36:11.90
and when I heard that
they were in the building
00:36:12.10\00:36:14.40
I said: "We've
gotta do something. "
00:36:14.60\00:36:16.07
I don't even know what
exactly we're going to do.
00:36:16.27\00:36:19.17
Let's pick a song and just...
00:36:19.37\00:36:21.44
You know, that's
how you do it in church.
00:36:21.84\00:36:23.81
Let's do an Andre
song... Andre Crouch.
00:36:24.01\00:36:25.71
An Andre Crouch
song? Maybe The Blood.
00:36:25.91\00:36:27.72
OK. Let's do that...
let's see what happens.
00:36:27.92\00:36:32.29
You'll do the first verse?
00:36:40.60\00:36:43.06
The blood that Jesus
00:36:56.11\00:37:02.05
shed for me
00:37:02.25\00:37:07.52
way back
00:37:10.93\00:37:12.96
on Calvary,
00:37:13.16\00:37:19.07
the blood that gives me strength
00:37:19.47\00:37:24.37
from day to day...
00:37:25.27\00:37:31.05
it will never lose
00:37:31.25\00:37:36.45
its power.
00:37:37.39\00:37:41.42
And it reaches to the
00:37:43.59\00:37:47.16
highest mountain.
00:37:47.56\00:37:53.50
And it flows
00:37:55.77\00:37:58.37
to the lowest
00:37:58.77\00:38:02.24
valley.
00:38:02.44\00:38:07.48
The blood
00:38:07.88\00:38:09.92
that gives me strength
00:38:10.55\00:38:13.59
from day to day...
00:38:14.32\00:38:20.13
it will never lose
00:38:20.33\00:38:25.47
its power.
00:38:25.87\00:38:30.87
It soothes my doubts
00:38:33.58\00:38:38.45
and it calms all of my fears
00:38:38.75\00:38:44.69
and it drives
00:38:45.99\00:38:50.79
away all my tears.
00:38:50.99\00:38:56.93
The blood that
gives me strength -
00:38:57.33\00:39:02.50
yes it does - from day
00:39:02.70\00:39:05.74
to day
00:39:05.94\00:39:09.58
it will never lose
00:39:09.78\00:39:14.82
its power.
00:39:15.32\00:39:19.45
Oh, it reaches
00:39:19.65\00:39:24.69
to the highest
00:39:24.89\00:39:28.30
mountain... mountain.
00:39:28.50\00:39:33.84
And it flows to the lowest
00:39:34.24\00:39:40.21
valley.
00:39:40.61\00:39:44.88
Oh, the blood
00:39:45.28\00:39:48.15
that gives me strength
00:39:48.55\00:39:51.85
from day
00:39:52.25\00:39:55.22
to day
00:39:55.42\00:39:58.16
it will never lose...
00:39:58.36\00:40:03.50
it will never lose...
00:40:04.10\00:40:10.01
it will never
00:40:10.51\00:40:14.71
lose - sing it -
00:40:14.91\00:40:19.21
its
00:40:19.41\00:40:23.18
power.
00:40:23.75\00:40:29.66
Its power. Yes, ooo-ooo.
00:40:30.36\00:40:35.66
Brother thank
you. That was so fun!
00:40:35.86\00:40:38.90
That's good stuff, but
now you all need to go on now
00:40:40.80\00:40:44.24
and let somebody
else do somethin'.
00:40:44.44\00:40:47.38
John Stoddart, what a
wonderful man of God you are!
00:40:48.51\00:40:51.58
What a gifted man!
Thank you for all of that.
00:40:51.78\00:40:55.18
What a gift! Love
music, don't you Mel?
00:40:55.38\00:40:58.05
So let's sing some, all right?
00:40:58.45\00:41:00.52
A hungry little boy
00:41:12.63\00:41:15.80
gave his lunch away...
00:41:16.00\00:41:20.04
too young to know the difference
00:41:20.44\00:41:23.14
he could make.
00:41:23.55\00:41:27.32
He was just one among the many
00:41:27.52\00:41:32.75
in a crowded human sea
00:41:33.15\00:41:37.63
but his love for Jesus
00:41:37.83\00:41:41.26
met 5,000 needs.
00:41:42.36\00:41:48.27
Just a simple love for Jesus
00:41:49.57\00:41:53.21
is all the Father asks.
00:41:54.04\00:41:57.58
He can work His mighty wonders
00:41:57.98\00:42:02.45
in the smallest of our tasks.
00:42:02.85\00:42:08.39
Miracles will happen
00:42:08.89\00:42:12.79
when there's a child-like trust
00:42:12.99\00:42:16.77
and a simple love for Jesus
00:42:17.50\00:42:21.67
seen in us.
00:42:22.07\00:42:26.64
Daddy dropped his daughter off
00:42:33.72\00:42:36.52
at church that day.
00:42:36.92\00:42:40.02
He thought that he
had better things to do.
00:42:40.92\00:42:46.63
But through the
years she taught her father
00:42:47.13\00:42:51.63
with deeds and not just words
00:42:52.30\00:42:55.84
until her quiet witness
00:42:56.04\00:43:00.54
led him to the Lord.
00:43:00.74\00:43:05.35
Just a simple love for Jesus
00:43:07.25\00:43:11.12
is all the Father asks.
00:43:11.52\00:43:14.69
He can work His mighty wonders
00:43:15.16\00:43:19.49
in the smallest of our tasks.
00:43:19.69\00:43:25.33
Miracles will happen
00:43:26.00\00:43:29.60
if there's a child-like trust
00:43:29.80\00:43:33.34
and a simple love for Jesus
00:43:33.98\00:43:37.91
seen in us.
00:43:38.81\00:43:42.35
Just a simple love for Jesus
00:43:43.02\00:43:46.39
is all the Father asks.
00:43:46.79\00:43:49.56
He can work His mighty wonders
00:43:49.96\00:43:54.00
in the smallest of our tasks.
00:43:54.20\00:44:00.17
Miracles will happen
00:44:00.37\00:44:03.74
if there's a child-like trust
00:44:03.94\00:44:07.44
and a simple love for Jesus
00:44:07.98\00:44:12.01
seen in us...
00:44:12.41\00:44:17.35
a simple love for Jesus
00:44:18.15\00:44:22.52
seen in us.
00:44:23.56\00:44:29.46
Thank you, Melody. You
know, Tim, I was thinking
00:44:40.28\00:44:42.68
about what we've been
talking about here today.
00:44:42.88\00:44:44.81
And we live in this world
where we have so much to do...
00:44:45.21\00:44:48.48
so many things that we
rely on ourselves to do.
00:44:48.88\00:44:52.02
And as I sing this song I
want to remind even those of you
00:44:52.52\00:44:54.76
who are living in
this fast-paced world
00:44:54.96\00:44:56.86
that it's not in
trying but in trusting.
00:44:57.36\00:45:00.40
It's not in
running but in resting.
00:45:00.60\00:45:03.40
It's not in
wondering but it's in praying
00:45:03.60\00:45:06.67
that we find the
strength of the Lord.
00:45:07.07\00:45:09.44
Sometimes life
seems like words and music
00:45:20.72\00:45:26.05
that can't quite become a song.
00:45:27.52\00:45:32.79
So we cry inside,
00:45:34.36\00:45:37.50
then we try again... wond'ring
00:45:37.70\00:45:42.60
what could be wrong.
00:45:42.80\00:45:47.01
Then we turn to the Lord
00:45:47.21\00:45:51.08
at the end of ourselves
00:45:51.28\00:45:54.02
as we've done a
time or two before...
00:45:54.22\00:45:59.29
We find His truth is the same
00:46:00.22\00:46:03.49
as it's always been
00:46:03.89\00:46:06.93
and never we'll need more.
00:46:07.70\00:46:12.63
It's not in
trying but in trusting;
00:46:14.74\00:46:20.31
it's not in
running but in resting.
00:46:21.54\00:46:27.48
Not in wond'ring but in praying
00:46:27.98\00:46:33.86
that we find the
strength of the Lord.
00:46:34.06\00:46:39.89
It's not in
trying but in trusting;
00:46:41.26\00:46:47.17
not in running but in resting.
00:46:48.07\00:46:54.04
Not in wond'ring but in praying
00:46:54.54\00:47:00.22
that we find the
strength of the Lord.
00:47:00.62\00:47:06.55
He is all we need
00:47:10.93\00:47:14.16
for our every need...
00:47:14.36\00:47:17.33
we never need be alone.
00:47:17.73\00:47:23.04
Still He'll let us go
00:47:23.91\00:47:26.78
if we choose to
00:47:27.18\00:47:30.88
live a life on our own.
00:47:31.08\00:47:36.18
Then the only good
that can ever be said
00:47:37.15\00:47:43.12
of the pains we
find ourselves in
00:47:43.53\00:47:49.06
There are places to gain
00:47:49.90\00:47:53.20
and the wisdom to say
00:47:53.40\00:47:56.81
"I'll never leave Him again. "
00:47:57.61\00:48:02.81
For it's not in
trying but in trusting;
00:48:04.18\00:48:09.88
not in running but in resting.
00:48:10.85\00:48:16.83
Not in wond'ring but in praying
00:48:17.23\00:48:23.13
that we find the
strength of the Lord...
00:48:23.53\00:48:29.00
it is not in
wond'ring but in praying
00:48:30.37\00:48:36.28
that we find
00:48:36.95\00:48:39.51
the strength of the
00:48:39.71\00:48:43.59
Lord.
00:48:44.45\00:48:50.39
What a great God
that gives us grace
00:48:59.90\00:49:03.97
to learn the lessons in life.
00:49:04.17\00:49:06.31
Sometimes it takes a lifetime
to learn that very lesson
00:49:08.41\00:49:12.21
that John just sang.
00:49:12.41\00:49:14.28
But we have comfort
that God is waiting on us
00:49:14.98\00:49:18.19
just to live life and
carry us through life.
00:49:18.39\00:49:22.86
He is a great God. He loves you
00:49:23.06\00:49:25.69
and hopefully you have been
able to sense some of that love
00:49:25.89\00:49:29.80
in these songs in this hour.
00:49:30.00\00:49:34.00
I love the scripture Psalm 71:19
00:49:34.40\00:49:37.27
says: "For your
righteousness, O God,
00:49:37.47\00:49:39.51
reaches to the
heavens. You who have done
00:49:39.71\00:49:42.51
great things. O
God, who is like You? "
00:49:42.71\00:49:46.31
Makes me think of this song.
00:49:47.25\00:49:48.78
Come let us worship our King.
00:49:58.23\00:50:01.70
Come let us bow at His feet.
00:50:02.93\00:50:06.07
He has done great things.
00:50:06.47\00:50:10.97
See what our Savior has done.
00:50:12.14\00:50:15.88
See how His love overcomes.
00:50:16.81\00:50:20.22
He has done great things.
00:50:20.42\00:50:24.79
He has done great things!
00:50:24.99\00:50:30.06
O hero of heaven,
You conquered the grave.
00:50:30.26\00:50:34.36
You free every captive
and You break every chain.
00:50:34.76\00:50:38.90
O God, You have
done great things.
00:50:39.10\00:50:43.67
We dance in Your
freedom awake and alive.
00:50:43.87\00:50:47.84
O Jesus, our Savior,
Your name be lifted high.
00:50:48.04\00:50:52.78
O God, You have
done great things.
00:50:52.98\00:50:58.85
You've been
faithful through every storm
00:51:00.89\00:51:04.99
and You'll be
faithful forever more.
00:51:05.19\00:51:09.06
Oh You have done great things!
00:51:09.26\00:51:13.44
And I know You will do it again
00:51:13.84\00:51:18.14
for Your promise
is "Yes" and "Amen. "
00:51:18.54\00:51:22.31
O You will do great things.
00:51:22.51\00:51:26.21
Just stick around, folks,
for He's gonna do great things.
00:51:26.41\00:51:30.75
Oh hero of heaven,
You conquered the grave.
00:51:31.85\00:51:36.16
You free every captive
and You break every chain.
00:51:36.36\00:51:40.30
Oh God, You have
done great things.
00:51:40.50\00:51:44.63
We dance in Your
freedom awake and alive.
00:51:44.83\00:51:48.70
Oh Jesus, our Savior,
Your name be lifted high.
00:51:48.90\00:51:53.14
Oh God, You have
done great things.
00:51:53.34\00:51:58.98
It makes me think of this song:
00:51:59.18\00:52:00.88
Oh, praise the
Lord, praise the Lord,
00:52:01.28\00:52:04.89
let the earth hear His voice.
00:52:05.09\00:52:08.22
Praise the
Lord, praise the Lord,
00:52:08.62\00:52:11.83
let the people rejoice.
00:52:12.23\00:52:15.13
O come to the Father
00:52:15.33\00:52:18.63
through Jesus the Son
00:52:18.83\00:52:22.07
and give Him the glory
00:52:22.27\00:52:25.54
great things He has done.
00:52:25.74\00:52:29.51
Oh sing at home
now: Oh praise the Lord,
00:52:29.78\00:52:32.58
praise the Lord,
00:52:32.78\00:52:34.48
let the earth hear His voice.
00:52:34.68\00:52:37.85
Praise the
Lord, praise the Lord,
00:52:38.25\00:52:41.36
let the people rejoice.
00:52:41.56\00:52:44.89
O come to the Father
00:52:45.09\00:52:48.13
through Jesus, the Son,
00:52:48.76\00:52:51.73
and give Him all glory
00:52:52.13\00:52:55.64
great things He has done!
00:52:55.84\00:53:00.84
Oh He is the hero of heaven,
00:53:01.04\00:53:04.25
He has conquored the grave.
00:53:04.45\00:53:06.55
He has freed every captive
and He has broken every chain.
00:53:06.75\00:53:11.19
Oh God, You have
done great things.
00:53:11.39\00:53:15.69
And we dance in Your freedom
00:53:15.89\00:53:18.36
awake and alive.
00:53:18.56\00:53:21.10
Oh Jesus, our Savior,
Your name be lifted high.
00:53:21.50\00:53:25.63
Oh God, You have
done great things...
00:53:25.83\00:53:30.54
Oh God, You will
always do great things.
00:53:31.04\00:53:37.01
Great things You have done.
00:53:40.55\00:53:46.52
Amen! Wow Tim... I
think you're convinced. I am!
00:53:51.16\00:53:54.13
You're not just singin' a song
you're singin' an experience.
00:53:54.33\00:53:56.00
Truly. And this is what
this Camp Meeting is about.
00:53:56.20\00:53:58.43
You know, the
question is: "Who is Jesus? "
00:53:58.83\00:54:00.67
That's the
question that has been asked
00:54:00.87\00:54:02.30
and each of our
speakers hopefully
00:54:02.50\00:54:04.21
are answering that
question: "Who is Jesus? "
00:54:04.41\00:54:06.71
Great things He has done!
Marvelous works He's done.
00:54:06.91\00:54:10.21
And I, to be honest with
you, when we get to heaven,
00:54:10.61\00:54:12.78
friends, we're not going
to get to heaven and say:
00:54:12.98\00:54:14.58
"Well, we're here...
" Um-hmm, that's right.
00:54:14.78\00:54:16.85
We're going to be so excited
to have made the kingdom.
00:54:17.05\00:54:19.72
We're going to praise
the Lord... give Him glory.
00:54:20.12\00:54:22.46
Shout His name, and I don't
think we're going to shuffle
00:54:22.66\00:54:25.56
our feet. We're
going to be praising God
00:54:25.76\00:54:28.23
to the highest. That's right.
00:54:28.43\00:54:29.76
For the first time
we're going to join the angels
00:54:29.80\00:54:32.43
to find out what they
have been doing throughout this
00:54:32.63\00:54:35.00
ceaseless ages of eternity.
00:54:35.20\00:54:37.01
The Bible says they
don't cease day and night to
00:54:37.51\00:54:39.67
call, say: "Holy, holy,
holy, Lord God Almighty. "
00:54:39.87\00:54:44.51
You know, I think
about how great God is.
00:54:45.21\00:54:47.95
And when you talk about the
things He wants to do for us
00:54:48.15\00:54:50.69
God wants to do the same -
yes - for every one of you.
00:54:50.89\00:54:54.26
The story that was going
through my mind a couple of days
00:54:55.09\00:54:57.13
ago that I wanted to
share with you briefly
00:54:57.33\00:54:59.23
is how we hold
onto things in this life
00:54:59.63\00:55:03.37
thinking to ourselves
that we finally have been able
00:55:03.57\00:55:07.97
to accomplish what
we've been dreaming about.
00:55:08.17\00:55:10.91
But I was sitting
in my car with my wife.
00:55:11.71\00:55:14.18
We were driving
back from Marion once
00:55:14.34\00:55:16.24
and the text that came to
our minds that brought tears
00:55:16.44\00:55:19.25
to our eyes for the first
time was when we remembered
00:55:19.45\00:55:22.48
God says: "I know the
plans I have for you. "
00:55:22.68\00:55:24.49
And my wife and I
looked at it simultaneously
00:55:25.85\00:55:28.46
and the tears began to come
00:55:28.66\00:55:29.99
because he says
God has plans for us?
00:55:30.03\00:55:32.26
God dreams about
us? Amazing, right?
00:55:32.66\00:55:34.60
God thinks about us!
00:55:34.80\00:55:36.13
And so when we ask the
question: "Who is Jesus? "
00:55:36.26\00:55:39.00
He is the God
who thinks about you.
00:55:39.40\00:55:41.54
He is looking forward to
not just thinking about you
00:55:41.74\00:55:45.07
but guiding your
life to the place
00:55:46.11\00:55:48.08
where you can find freedom;
where you can find hope.
00:55:48.28\00:55:51.71
Where you can know that you can
let go of the things you have
00:55:52.01\00:55:56.38
and hold onto the eternal
things that Christ is willing
00:55:56.58\00:56:00.22
to give to you. Like
the little boy who was
00:56:00.42\00:56:02.62
standing in front of his
father and he had a little tiny
00:56:02.82\00:56:05.96
teddy bear in his hand
00:56:06.16\00:56:07.80
and his dad had a big
fuzzy one behind his back.
00:56:08.00\00:56:10.43
And he says: "Give
me your teddy bear. "
00:56:10.63\00:56:12.03
And he said: "Unh-uh. "
00:56:12.23\00:56:13.57
He said: "Give
me your teddy bear"
00:56:13.60\00:56:14.94
and the little boy said: "No! "
00:56:15.04\00:56:16.47
If he had only known
what we behind his dad's back.
00:56:16.87\00:56:19.27
That's sometimes who we
are. We hold onto the things
00:56:19.91\00:56:23.21
that seem to be valuable to us
00:56:23.41\00:56:26.18
not knowing who Jesus is.
00:56:26.38\00:56:28.38
And He has behind His back
blessings that are abundant.
00:56:28.58\00:56:32.82
We want to encourage you as we
continue with this Camp Meeting
00:56:33.22\00:56:35.52
to answer the
question: "Who is Jesus? "
00:56:35.92\00:56:38.06
We're not just giving you
the answers but the answers
00:56:39.43\00:56:42.06
are going to come to you
through your own personal time
00:56:42.26\00:56:45.47
you spend with Christ.
00:56:45.67\00:56:47.00
Let me encourage
you to take time.
00:56:47.24\00:56:48.94
When Camp Meeting comes
and goes, people say how...
00:56:49.14\00:56:51.57
how high a mountain-top
experience that was.
00:56:51.77\00:56:54.41
But you can have
the same experience
00:56:54.81\00:56:56.61
if you take time in the
Word with the Lord every day.
00:56:57.01\00:56:59.78
Amen. Take time in prayer.
Talk to the Lord as to a friend.
00:56:59.98\00:57:03.28
And then repeat
back to Him the promises
00:57:03.69\00:57:06.86
of His Word and
then you'll find out
00:57:07.06\00:57:09.26
that who Jesus is will no
longer be a question to you
00:57:09.46\00:57:13.70
but the answer will be clear.
00:57:14.10\00:57:15.73
He will be your Lord
and your Savior, the One
00:57:15.93\00:57:19.03
who wants to bless you.
The One who has blessings
00:57:19.23\00:57:21.00
untold behind His back.
00:57:21.20\00:57:23.71
Don't go away. Camp
Meeting is continuing
00:57:24.47\00:57:27.21
and we pray that you'll
stay with us. God bless you.
00:57:27.41\00:57:29.98
His body was broken
00:57:31.88\00:57:34.45
so that we could live
00:57:34.85\00:57:36.75
giving us the
gift of eternal life.
00:57:36.95\00:57:39.02
He pursues us relentlessly
with an everlasting love.
00:57:40.69\00:57:44.66
Regardless of our
failures and mistakes
00:57:45.73\00:57:48.76
the One who
loves us like no other.
00:57:49.16\00:57:52.53
THIS is who Jesus IS.
00:57:53.70\00:57:56.67
