Chapter 1: God's Love for Man.
00:00:32.89\00:00:35.45
Hello and welcome to
Steps to Christ in Song.
00:00:37.86\00:00:39.99
This is the first in a 13
part series, where we will
00:00:40.58\00:00:43.72
be focusing on this
little book Steps to Christ.
00:00:43.75\00:00:45.86
When this book was
first released in 1892, it
00:00:46.84\00:00:49.19
became an instant
bestseller. And within
00:00:49.22\00:00:51.25
the first six weeks of
its publication it had to be
00:00:51.28\00:00:54.38
reprinted three times.
Today this book has been
00:00:54.41\00:00:57.50
published in more than
a 150 languages with well
00:00:57.53\00:01:00.93
over a 100 million
copies in circulation.
00:01:00.96\00:01:03.22
I love reading Steps to
Christ. I don't know how
00:01:03.88\00:01:06.17
many times that I've
read it, but what I personally
00:01:06.20\00:01:09.15
like about Steps to
Christ is that every time I read
00:01:09.18\00:01:11.73
it, it gives me real
solid biblical truths which help
00:01:11.76\00:01:15.69
me and my walk with
Jesus. You will see no
00:01:15.72\00:01:18.64
professional actors or
musicians in this series,
00:01:18.67\00:01:21.19
instead it has been
produced by High school
00:01:21.60\00:01:23.96
students along with their
teachers and staff here at
00:01:23.99\00:01:26.37
Fountainview Academy.
One of the reasons why
00:01:26.40\00:01:29.92
we have filmed this series
in nature. Is because there
00:01:29.95\00:01:33.01
is something about
being out in nature that makes
00:01:33.04\00:01:35.97
us feel so much
closer to God, have you ever
00:01:36.00\00:01:39.05
experienced the
time when you were either
00:01:39.08\00:01:41.03
walking though the
woods or maybe just
00:01:41.44\00:01:43.40
working in the garden
when you felt particularly
00:01:43.43\00:01:46.19
close to God. Steps to
Christ says that nature
00:01:46.22\00:01:49.48
speaks to us of the
Creator's love. Well today
00:01:49.51\00:01:53.45
we're gonna be looking at
the first chapter Steps to
00:01:53.48\00:01:55.45
Christ entitled
God's Love for Man.
00:01:55.48\00:01:57.67
Why don't you join us as
we explore this incredible
00:01:58.49\00:02:00.60
book, to begin I'm
gonna ask Melissa to
00:02:00.63\00:02:03.56
lead us in a word of prayer.
00:02:03.59\00:02:05.17
Dear heavenly Father,
I just wanna thank you
00:02:07.05\00:02:10.30
for your unconditional
love. You know being
00:02:10.54\00:02:13.48
out here in nature
reminds me yet again of your
00:02:13.51\00:02:16.19
amazing love for us.
And I wanna ask you to be
00:02:16.22\00:02:19.31
with us, as we talk
and sing about this love,
00:02:19.34\00:02:22.77
in Jesus name we pray, Amen.
00:02:22.80\00:02:25.33
When I look at the
incredible beauty around me.
00:02:31.19\00:02:33.40
I'm inclined to think
that who ever made these
00:02:33.92\00:02:36.30
things was inspired.
Inspired with a sense of
00:02:36.33\00:02:39.82
balance, with a sense
of color, with a sense of
00:02:39.85\00:02:44.21
texture. The Bible says
the God is love, that he
00:02:44.24\00:02:48.60
made all of these things
for us to enjoy, just as a
00:02:48.63\00:02:52.11
Father does good
things for his children.
00:02:52.14\00:02:54.63
O Lord my God!
when I in awesome wonder
00:03:34.67\00:03:44.85
Consider all the
worlds Thy hands have made,
00:03:44.88\00:03:55.36
I see the stars, I
hear the rolling thunder,
00:04:06.12\00:04:16.79
Thy power throughout
the universe displayed:
00:04:16.82\00:04:25.48
When through the woods
and forest glades I wander
00:04:25.76\00:04:33.58
And hear the birds
sing sweetly in the trees;
00:04:33.61\00:04:41.18
When I look down from
lofty mountain grandeur
00:04:41.63\00:04:49.14
And hear the brook and
feel the gentle breeze:
00:04:49.51\00:04:58.09
Then sings my soul,
my Savior God, to Thee:
00:05:00.98\00:05:09.92
How great Thou
art, how great Thou art!
00:05:09.95\00:05:21.63
Then sings my soul!
my Savior God, to Thee:
00:05:22.25\00:05:29.14
How great Thou
art, how great Thou art!
00:05:29.17\00:05:46.98
And when I think that
God, His Son not sparing,
00:05:59.10\00:06:07.98
Sent Him to die, I
scarce can take it in;
00:06:08.09\00:06:18.10
That on the cross, my
burden gladly bearing,
00:06:28.86\00:06:37.97
He bled and died
to take away my sin:
00:06:38.28\00:06:45.02
When Christ shall come
with shout of acclamation
00:06:45.52\00:06:53.13
And take me home, what
joy shall fill my heart!
00:06:53.42\00:07:01.12
Then I shall bow
in humble adoration,
00:07:01.15\00:07:08.25
And there proclaim, my
God, how great Thou art!
00:07:08.60\00:07:17.01
Then sings my soul,
my Savior God, to Thee:
00:07:19.82\00:07:28.37
How great Thou
art, how great Thou art!
00:07:28.81\00:07:40.65
Then sings my soul!
My Savior God, to Thee:
00:07:41.11\00:07:47.50
How great Thou
art, how great Thou art!
00:07:47.53\00:08:01.19
Then sings my soul!
my Savior God, to Thee:
00:08:01.22\00:08:09.69
How great Thou
art, How great Thou art,
00:08:09.72\00:08:21.68
Then sings my soul!
My Savior God, to Thee:
00:08:21.71\00:08:28.30
How great Thou
art, How great Thou art,
00:08:28.33\00:08:47.18
How great Thou art.
00:08:51.32\00:09:03.87
Wow! God is amazing
and we see how big and
00:09:06.78\00:09:10.71
great he is through things
he creates, things like the
00:09:10.74\00:09:14.12
stars, the galaxies,
even small things like these
00:09:14.15\00:09:18.23
cherries that grow
on these tress here.
00:09:18.29\00:09:20.02
But, you know I think
there is a different side to
00:09:21.28\00:09:25.01
God's greatness. A
side that's personal, that
00:09:25.04\00:09:29.63
relates to you, to me
and this you an see this
00:09:29.66\00:09:35.90
through the
sacrifice that God made for us.
00:09:35.93\00:09:39.43
He sacrificed everything so that
00:09:40.17\00:09:42.26
we can live with him eternally.
00:09:42.29\00:09:44.39
That's so true. You
know we think of that song
00:09:45.34\00:09:47.50
Jordan, how great thou
art, it sounds like God is
00:09:47.53\00:09:51.52
great, he created all
these things and he's almost
00:09:51.55\00:09:54.73
like he's distant from
us. But, the words when
00:09:54.76\00:09:58.63
Christ shall come to
take us home, he wants us to
00:09:58.66\00:10:00.90
be home, he wants us
to be close to him, how do
00:10:00.93\00:10:03.65
you think of God you
know practically in your
00:10:03.68\00:10:05.91
life, a
practical illustration of
00:10:05.94\00:10:09.05
how God is close to
you? Well, you know that
00:10:09.08\00:10:14.89
sacrifice that Jesus
showed is really what to
00:10:14.92\00:10:19.39
me shows that he
really cares, my dad when he
00:10:19.42\00:10:25.34
went to high school, he
skipped college and went
00:10:25.37\00:10:28.64
on with his life and
then he had family and he had
00:10:28.67\00:10:32.73
my sister and I, and
he really wanted to go on
00:10:32.76\00:10:38.33
and further his
education, but he had to put my
00:10:38.59\00:10:42.88
sister and I through
school. And for me I'm
00:10:42.91\00:10:47.31
here at high school and
it's a lot to put two kids at
00:10:47.34\00:10:51.43
the same time to go to
school and it shows how
00:10:51.46\00:10:54.87
much he really cares
that he would put aside his
00:10:54.90\00:10:57.52
personal wants, his
personal needs for us.
00:10:57.55\00:11:02.17
That he would like he
put aside a better life for
00:11:02.49\00:11:07.29
himself, and
make it better for us.
00:11:07.32\00:11:09.73
So, your dad made that
great sacrifice and for you
00:11:10.29\00:11:14.17
that's an illustration
of God's great love yeah,
00:11:14.20\00:11:16.42
for you. Thanks for
sharing that experience.
00:11:16.45\00:11:18.94
There are many good
reasons to accept God's
00:11:21.43\00:11:23.49
offer of salvation. But,
living eternally in a place
00:11:23.52\00:11:27.34
of perfectness is not
the greatest incentive we
00:11:27.37\00:11:30.63
have. Neither as escaping
from the torments of hell.
00:11:30.66\00:11:34.02
You see what should
really motivate you is a
00:11:35.12\00:11:37.91
thought that God is
waiting to be reunited
00:11:37.94\00:11:40.36
with you in heaven.
And that he loves you
00:11:40.39\00:11:42.79
more than anyone
else could. When God gave
00:11:42.82\00:11:46.83
Jesus to be our substitute,
he give us the greatest
00:11:46.86\00:11:50.62
gift that heaven has to offer
00:11:50.65\00:11:52.35
and he did this
because he loves you.
00:11:53.26\00:11:55.74
The love of God is greater far
00:12:24.50\00:12:29.80
Than tongue or pen can ever tell
00:12:29.83\00:12:34.88
It goes beyond the highest star
00:12:35.30\00:12:40.60
And reaches to the deepest hell
00:12:40.63\00:12:45.57
The guilty pair,
bowed down with care
00:12:45.60\00:12:51.31
God gave His Son to win
00:12:51.34\00:12:57.09
His erring child He reconciled
00:12:57.48\00:13:02.71
And pardoned from his sin
00:13:02.74\00:13:10.49
O love of God,
how rich and pure!
00:13:11.32\00:13:16.79
How measureless and strong!
00:13:17.07\00:13:22.18
It shall forevermore endure
00:13:22.21\00:13:27.67
The saints' and angels' song
00:13:27.70\00:13:34.73
When years of
time shall pass away,
00:13:36.86\00:13:41.88
And earthly
thrones and kingdoms fall,
00:13:42.15\00:13:47.09
When men, who
here refuse to pray,
00:13:47.35\00:13:52.39
On rocks and hills
and mountains call,
00:13:52.81\00:13:57.59
God's love so
sure, shall still endure,
00:13:58.14\00:14:02.89
All measureless and strong;
00:14:02.92\00:14:07.78
Redeeming grace to Adam's race
00:14:07.86\00:14:12.70
The saints' and angels' song.
00:14:12.73\00:14:18.35
O love of God,
how rich and pure!
00:14:20.87\00:14:26.05
How measureless and strong!
00:14:26.08\00:14:31.36
It shall forevermore endure
00:14:31.63\00:14:36.65
The saints' and angels' song
00:14:36.68\00:14:43.13
Could we with ink the ocean fill
00:14:58.38\00:15:03.56
And were the
skies of parchment made,
00:15:03.59\00:15:08.64
Were every
stalk on earth a quill
00:15:08.96\00:15:13.79
And every man a scribe by trade
00:15:13.82\00:15:18.74
To write the love of God above
00:15:18.88\00:15:23.91
Would drain the ocean dry
00:15:23.94\00:15:28.92
Nor could the
scroll contain the whole
00:15:28.95\00:15:34.30
Though stretched from sky to sky
00:15:34.33\00:15:40.79
O love of God,
how rich and pure!
00:15:43.05\00:15:48.49
How measureless and strong!
00:15:48.63\00:15:54.03
It shall forevermore endure
00:15:54.25\00:15:59.38
The saints' and angels' song.
00:15:59.80\00:16:10.33
Pen or tongue can never
tell everything about the
00:16:13.97\00:16:16.83
love of God.
Something we just don't quite
00:16:16.86\00:16:19.79
understand, the words are
inadequate to describe it.
00:16:19.82\00:16:23.24
You know here on this
earth we have a distorted
00:16:24.50\00:16:26.75
view of love. Our love
just ends sometimes and
00:16:26.78\00:16:31.11
our promises are like
ropes of sand but God's
00:16:31.14\00:16:34.20
love never ever ends.
It's so wide, it's so deep
00:16:34.23\00:16:38.68
it goes on
forever. God's love goes on
00:16:38.71\00:16:43.48
forever, and that is
the comfort and we hope
00:16:43.51\00:16:46.76
that we have, but in
this world we still see that
00:16:46.79\00:16:49.80
there are thorns on the
roses and we see a lot of
00:16:49.83\00:16:52.13
pain in people's lives.
As Christians, Luke what do
00:16:52.16\00:16:57.72
you think God would have
us do to alleviate this pain,
00:16:57.75\00:17:01.66
to deal with the
problem of pain in this world?
00:17:01.69\00:17:03.68
I can best explain that
with an example from my life.
00:17:06.14\00:17:09.34
At my previous
school during my junior high
00:17:10.47\00:17:13.01
years, there was one
girl an particular that always
00:17:13.04\00:17:16.52
sticks out in my mind.
She was very emotionally
00:17:16.55\00:17:19.86
unstable, she was
physically abusive,
00:17:19.89\00:17:21.86
verbally abusive and
was rejected by everyone.
00:17:21.89\00:17:26.42
I can imagine that.
But, my dad had been
00:17:26.45\00:17:30.58
teaching me something,
he said be kind to unkind
00:17:30.61\00:17:34.01
people they need it the
most. So, I decided to do
00:17:34.04\00:17:38.92
just that, then one day
she grabbed me, pulled me
00:17:38.95\00:17:46.05
aside and said Luke I
need to show you something.
00:17:46.08\00:17:47.98
So, this is the same
girl, and you've been very
00:17:48.47\00:17:50.63
kind to her, that's
not an easy thing, when
00:17:50.66\00:17:54.04
someone is unkind
to you. It wasn't. No?
00:17:54.07\00:17:56.02
She pulled me aside
and sat me down and she
00:17:58.24\00:18:01.73
rolled up her sleeves
and there were just scars
00:18:01.76\00:18:08.34
everywhere. And she said
these are all the time I've
00:18:08.37\00:18:11.06
cut myself from
all the pain I've been
00:18:11.09\00:18:12.85
experiencing. And
not one inch on her arm
00:18:12.88\00:18:16.39
was left unscaved. That
must have been shocking.
00:18:16.42\00:18:20.22
Then she looked at me
and said Luke thank you
00:18:21.92\00:18:27.59
for all the
kindness you've shown me.
00:18:27.62\00:18:29.19
I never truly seen any
type of love really in my
00:18:30.22\00:18:35.85
life, then she got
up and just walked away.
00:18:35.88\00:18:40.62
And, just this flood
of emotions overcame me
00:18:43.28\00:18:47.63
and just we were in a
private school, we were
00:18:48.36\00:18:51.72
in a Christian
school. But, no one had
00:18:51.75\00:18:55.25
shown her the love of Christ.
00:18:55.28\00:18:56.63
That reminds me of
that verse in the scripture
00:18:58.76\00:19:01.36
where it says that we
love because he first loved us
00:19:01.39\00:19:05.23
and that love it casts
out all fear. And certainly in
00:19:05.26\00:19:11.63
her case she was able
to feel love because you
00:19:11.66\00:19:16.17
showed kindness
towards her. And I think that's
00:19:16.20\00:19:19.31
what God wants us
as Christians to do, to
00:19:19.34\00:19:21.69
elevate the problem of
pain that we find in this
00:19:21.72\00:19:24.17
world, thanks for
sharing that Luke.
00:19:24.20\00:19:26.47
God is good, but
our enemy Satan has made
00:19:27.90\00:19:32.06
him out to be a stern
and severe judge watching
00:19:32.09\00:19:35.22
over our shoulder
and taking notes of our
00:19:35.25\00:19:37.86
mistakes in order to punish us.
00:19:37.89\00:19:40.29
But, in Exodus 34
verses 6 and 7, God told Moses
00:19:40.94\00:19:44.85
that he was merciful
and gracious, long suffering
00:19:44.88\00:19:48.42
and abundant in
goodness and truth.
00:19:48.45\00:19:51.21
Keeping mercy for
thousands, forgiving
00:19:51.66\00:19:54.45
iniquity and transgression
and sin. I believe God is
00:19:54.48\00:19:58.92
on our side, but how
can we know for sure who is
00:19:58.95\00:20:02.70
telling the truth about
his character. God knew that
00:20:02.73\00:20:06.28
there was confusion about
the subject, so he send his
00:20:06.31\00:20:09.76
son Jesus to
represent him, Jesus went about
00:20:09.79\00:20:13.04
showing
compassion for those in need.
00:20:13.07\00:20:15.58
He healed the sick,
cast out demons, forgave sins
00:20:16.09\00:20:19.94
and lived a life of
self denial. His life proved
00:20:19.97\00:20:24.19
that God really is
love. Jesus did more and that
00:20:24.22\00:20:27.97
simply showed that God
is love, he come to rescue
00:20:28.00\00:20:31.58
us from the slavery of
sin. By paying the penalty for
00:20:31.61\00:20:35.60
our transgressions.
He come to exchange his
00:20:35.63\00:20:38.81
righteous life
for our sinful lives.
00:20:38.84\00:20:41.45
This exchange was so
incredibly difficult and
00:20:42.05\00:20:44.70
costly that God himself
in a person of Jesus had to
00:20:44.73\00:20:49.76
made the sacrifice,
this he willingly did.
00:20:49.79\00:20:53.41
Jesus himself said in
John 3:16 that God so loved
00:20:54.18\00:20:58.31
the world that he gave
his only begotten son that
00:20:58.78\00:21:02.45
whosoever believes in
him should not perish,
00:21:02.48\00:21:05.80
but have everlasting life.
00:21:06.03\00:21:07.97
In my darkness Jesus found me
00:21:13.32\00:21:19.38
Touched my eyes and made me see
00:21:20.06\00:21:25.62
Broke the chains
that longed had bound me
00:21:26.74\00:21:32.48
Gave me life and
liberty O glorious love that
00:21:33.55\00:21:42.34
Christ my Lord,
divine That made Him stoop to
00:21:42.37\00:21:49.06
save a soul like mine
Through all my days and
00:21:49.09\00:21:55.64
then in heaven above
My song will silence never
00:21:55.67\00:22:03.81
I'll worship Him forever
00:22:04.33\00:22:07.12
And praise Him
for His glorious love
00:22:07.59\00:22:13.01
Oh amazing truth to ponder
00:22:14.46\00:22:20.53
He whom angel hosts attend
00:22:21.09\00:22:26.89
Lord of Heaven
thou somewhat wonder
00:22:27.47\00:22:33.69
He became the sinners friend
00:22:34.39\00:22:41.06
O glorious love of
Christ my Lord, divine
00:22:41.62\00:22:47.97
That made Him stoop
to save a soul like mine
00:22:48.29\00:22:54.18
Through all my days
and then in heaven above
00:22:54.60\00:23:01.24
My song will silence never
00:23:01.56\00:23:04.34
I'll worship Him forever
00:23:04.37\00:23:07.36
And praise Him
for His glorious love
00:23:07.76\00:23:13.52
My song will silence never
00:23:14.02\00:23:16.57
I'll worship Him forever
00:23:16.60\00:23:19.65
And praise Him
for His glorious love
00:23:20.08\00:23:26.16
And praise Him
for His glorious love
00:23:26.53\00:23:32.22
And praise Him
for His glorious love
00:23:33.68\00:23:45.12
You know that song O
glorious love reminds
00:23:48.81\00:23:51.58
me of a verse in the
Bible. Romans 5 verse 8
00:23:51.61\00:23:56.06
says, While we were yet
sinners, Christ died for us.
00:23:56.09\00:23:59.07
And you know we
didn't deserve it, but Christ
00:23:59.74\00:24:02.32
loved us so much he
came down from heaven
00:24:02.35\00:24:04.80
to this world to save us.
00:24:04.83\00:24:07.51
That shows us that
God's love is permanent,
00:24:08.56\00:24:12.42
it eternal, its unlimited.
You've earned in your life
00:24:12.69\00:24:17.34
can you think of a
person who has clearly revealed
00:24:18.14\00:24:22.43
the love of God to you.
00:24:22.46\00:24:23.66
Yeah, my Father, God
has blessed us with so many
00:24:24.93\00:24:29.84
thing that we take
for granted and growing up
00:24:29.87\00:24:33.17
my father was a
huge blessing in my life.
00:24:33.20\00:24:36.13
I had so many far-fetched
ideas, impossible dreams
00:24:36.82\00:24:40.86
and an obsession for
animals. And I remember
00:24:40.89\00:24:44.47
the day he joined our
nice town golf course and
00:24:44.50\00:24:48.57
every time he wanted to
go golfing, I would want
00:24:48.60\00:24:51.27
to come along with my
net and my jar. And while
00:24:51.30\00:24:54.22
he was focusing on
getting a putter, I would
00:24:54.25\00:24:56.29
just be wading through
the creeks getting filthy.
00:24:56.32\00:24:59.07
And to top it off,
after that I would run through
00:24:59.10\00:25:02.01
the sprinklers, but
when he was done and he
00:25:02.04\00:25:04.88
wasn't embarrassed
of how, how horrible
00:25:04.91\00:25:08.35
I looked, and dirty. He
just took me by the hand
00:25:08.38\00:25:11.52
and led me to the car
and took me down the road to
00:25:11.55\00:25:13.86
get a Popsicle. And
I remember another time
00:25:13.89\00:25:16.88
I wanted him to build
me a tree house. And he had
00:25:16.91\00:25:19.64
so many stuff going on,
he just didn't really have
00:25:19.67\00:25:22.15
the time, but one day
I looked out my window
00:25:22.18\00:25:24.87
and he was out there on
his 14 foot ladder in the
00:25:24.90\00:25:28.37
humid weather, it was
just horrible outside and
00:25:28.40\00:25:31.24
he was up there
building it for me. And another
00:25:31.27\00:25:34.02
time I wanted to
raise baby turkeys
00:25:34.05\00:25:36.60
to give away as pets.
Why would you do that?
00:25:36.63\00:25:39.23
I just loved animals
and I thought that would
00:25:39.68\00:25:41.93
just be coolest thing, so.
To have turkeys? Yeah, okay.
00:25:41.96\00:25:45.40
So, my dad was like okay
it's your responsibility,
00:25:46.92\00:25:50.54
but he was out there
with me every night, building
00:25:51.00\00:25:53.58
stuff for them
watching them run around, he
00:25:53.61\00:25:56.56
wanted me to be there
with him to enjoy every
00:25:56.59\00:25:58.49
thing and he made my
dreams reality, he left the
00:25:58.52\00:26:02.78
world of business
and seriousness and came
00:26:02.81\00:26:05.42
down to my child like
level and became a kid again.
00:26:05.45\00:26:09.16
And it reminds me of
Jesus because he left
00:26:09.97\00:26:12.02
heaven and everything
perfect and he stepped
00:26:12.05\00:26:14.62
down here to be one of
us, to go through what we
00:26:14.65\00:26:17.59
go through and showed
us how much he loved us.
00:26:17.62\00:26:19.89
And I think God knew
that my father had what it
00:26:20.83\00:26:23.76
takes to make my
life heaven on earth.
00:26:23.79\00:26:25.58
And to show me a
reflection of my heavenly
00:26:26.31\00:26:27.89
Father. And even
though my father was a great
00:26:27.92\00:26:32.57
example there were
times when he marred God
00:26:32.60\00:26:34.72
image to me. When we
argued and when we had
00:26:34.75\00:26:37.63
disagreements but he
always came and asked
00:26:37.66\00:26:39.73
my forgiveness. And I
just think that we need
00:26:39.76\00:26:43.00
to really look and
notice all the beauty around us
00:26:43.03\00:26:45.83
that God has given
us. Because he didn't have
00:26:45.86\00:26:47.75
to put it there, it
might not always be there.
00:26:47.78\00:26:49.89
It's like a little note
from our heavenly Father that
00:26:50.37\00:26:53.07
it says dear son or dear
daughter, I love you, Jesus.
00:26:53.10\00:26:56.48
Wow! That's a clear
picture and that's a
00:26:57.44\00:27:01.07
special experience
that you have with your
00:27:01.10\00:27:04.29
father, to show you
how much God loves you.
00:27:04.32\00:27:09.80
Thanks for sharing that with us.
00:27:10.65\00:27:11.79
You know God is so good
to us, he's revealed his
00:27:14.85\00:27:17.49
love to us in so many
different ways, through
00:27:17.52\00:27:19.79
family relationships,
through friendships,
00:27:19.82\00:27:22.46
the clearest
revelation though of his love we
00:27:23.04\00:27:25.45
find in the Bible in
the story of Jesus Christ.
00:27:25.48\00:27:28.47
In the story of the
Cross. Let's pause for a moment
00:27:29.16\00:27:32.97
to thank him for his
great love for each one of us.
00:27:33.00\00:27:35.71
Heavenly Father, I
think you Lord for the way in
00:27:37.42\00:27:40.24
which you've shown your
love to us, through family
00:27:40.27\00:27:43.43
members, through
friends and through the Bible.
00:27:43.46\00:27:45.74
Most of all I thank you
for Jesus and his death on
00:27:46.34\00:27:48.87
the Cross, so that we
can live with you eternally.
00:27:48.90\00:27:51.70
We thank you and we
praise you. In Jesus name, Amen.
