He said, that's not for sale. 00:36:20.76\00:36:23.36 He said, I'll give you $10,000 for your bird. 00:36:23.39\00:36:26.46 He said, bird is not for sale. He said $50,000. 00:36:26.49\00:36:32.69 He said, all right, I'll sell you my bird. 00:36:32.72\00:36:33.92 So the wealthy stockbroker had a special carrier 00:36:36.44\00:36:39.39 to deliver the bird to his mother in Texas. 00:36:39.42\00:36:41.95 And he couldn't wait, he called her a couple days later. 00:36:41.98\00:36:44.55 And he said, mom, what do you think of the bird? 00:36:44.58\00:36:48.02 She said, son, I need to be honest. 00:36:48.05\00:36:50.05 It was a little tough but other than that it was delicious. 00:36:50.08\00:36:52.53 You know, few things are sadder than a wasted gift. 00:36:57.20\00:37:04.46 You know, I read recently that in America 00:37:04.49\00:37:07.56 the average home has $300 of unspent gift cards. 00:37:07.59\00:37:14.42 Now, I won't ask you for show hands, may be I will. 00:37:14.45\00:37:18.06 How many of you know that you've got 00:37:18.09\00:37:19.56 either a gift card or a refund that you have not turned in, 00:37:19.59\00:37:24.13 that you're just planning on doing some one of these days 00:37:24.16\00:37:28.05 and that's about 3-- 00:37:28.08\00:37:31.77 no, $30 billions in the homes right now. 00:37:31.80\00:37:37.05 And you know, retailers count on 00:37:37.08\00:37:39.46 about 7% of all gifts cards never get used. 00:37:39.49\00:37:42.54 They count on that. 00:37:42.57\00:37:44.83 That's really sad when you think about it. 00:37:44.86\00:37:46.49 Rebates, gifts cards, they just go unused, 00:37:46.52\00:37:48.96 it's like money that evaporates. 00:37:48.99\00:37:51.05 Something sad about wasted gift. 00:37:51.08\00:37:54.13 I've got a cousin, got married a few years back. 00:37:54.16\00:37:57.68 Very expensive wedding in a very expensive hotel, 00:37:57.71\00:38:02.38 hundreds of guests. 00:38:02.41\00:38:05.19 People flew in from around the country, 00:38:05.22\00:38:08.04 brought their gifts. 00:38:08.07\00:38:11.08 Four days after the wedding, maybe five days 00:38:11.11\00:38:13.25 they announced it, they said, 00:38:13.28\00:38:14.31 they really do not want to be married. 00:38:14.34\00:38:17.98 And I don't remember ever getting our gift back. 00:38:18.01\00:38:21.53 You know, I had a third grade teacher Mrs. Wayne Baum 00:38:25.15\00:38:29.08 and one day after I was behaving very unruly, 00:38:29.11\00:38:32.47 she took me aside after class and she said Doug-- 00:38:32.50\00:38:35.93 actually she called me Douglas. 00:38:35.96\00:38:38.66 She said, "I hate waste." 00:38:38.69\00:38:42.53 And I think you're wasting your life 00:38:42.56\00:38:44.07 because I was just clowning around all the time. 00:38:44.10\00:38:45.77 I know, you'll find that hard to believe. 00:38:45.80\00:38:48.79 But you know, she said, "You get one life." 00:38:48.82\00:38:51.62 And she said, "If you waste this opportunity to learn, 00:38:51.65\00:38:54.04 you're gonna waste your one chance to direct your life." 00:38:54.07\00:38:57.63 And you know, that was a first time it occurred to me, 00:38:57.66\00:38:59.51 how terrible it would be to waste the life. 00:38:59.54\00:39:03.97 You know, the Lord came into the world 00:39:04.00\00:39:06.01 to give us a chance to live forever. 00:39:06.04\00:39:09.39 And I remember one time when Jesus worked a miracle. 00:39:09.42\00:39:14.08 Bible tells us there were all these hungry people 00:39:14.11\00:39:16.97 and He took a few fish and a few loaves of bread. 00:39:17.00\00:39:19.78 And he performed a miracle and fed all these people, 00:39:19.81\00:39:22.81 but there were actually leftovers 00:39:22.84\00:39:24.29 when He got done feeding 5,000 people. 00:39:24.32\00:39:26.78 And Jesus said something interesting, 00:39:26.81\00:39:29.42 He said to the disciples, "Makes sure and gather up 00:39:29.45\00:39:32.84 all the scraps so that nothing is wasted." 00:39:32.87\00:39:36.13 Now, you have to ask yourself, 00:39:36.16\00:39:39.48 is Jesus that interested in fishy dinner scraps 00:39:39.51\00:39:44.89 and He wouldn't be interested in the creatures 00:39:44.92\00:39:47.12 that He made in His own image. 00:39:47.15\00:39:50.07 You know, the Lord paid an infinite price for us 00:39:50.10\00:39:53.62 to be able to live forever. 00:39:53.65\00:39:55.38 He gave the gift of His Son. He paid the ransom for our sin. 00:39:55.41\00:40:01.48 You're in California, some of you still remember 00:40:01.51\00:40:03.43 a number of years ago when Patty Hearst was kidnapped 00:40:03.46\00:40:07.94 and the Symbionese Liberation Army 00:40:07.97\00:40:11.52 asked for $10 million ransom. 00:40:11.55\00:40:13.41 They negotiate it down to $2 million 00:40:13.44\00:40:16.10 because they couldn't get that much together. 00:40:16.13\00:40:18.26 And after the ransom was paid, 00:40:18.29\00:40:20.72 she had kind of been brainwashed by the group 00:40:20.75\00:40:23.86 and she said, "I'd rather stay with my kidnappers." 00:40:23.89\00:40:27.77 Can you imagine what that did to her parents? 00:40:27.80\00:40:30.43 After they paid that ransom 00:40:30.46\00:40:32.17 to say I would rather stay in captivity? 00:40:32.20\00:40:35.73 You can't help but wonder 00:40:35.76\00:40:36.79 what our heavenly Father must think when He says, 00:40:36.82\00:40:38.82 "Look, I have given you the greatest gift 00:40:38.85\00:40:40.50 that has ever been given in time. 00:40:40.53\00:40:42.88 I'm giving you the gift of my own Son 00:40:42.91\00:40:45.83 that you might have new life." 00:40:45.86\00:40:47.96 Wouldn't it be a shame to waste that gift? 00:40:47.99\00:40:51.07 This time of year, the beautiful music that we're singing 00:40:51.10\00:40:54.19 and the songs that we're hearing is all relate to celebrate 00:40:54.22\00:40:57.74 and to honor that love of our Father that gave that gift. 00:40:57.77\00:41:02.52 And it just wouldn't be right, we have more music coming. 00:41:02.55\00:41:05.10 But I just wanted to pause for a moment. 00:41:05.13\00:41:07.64 And have us really think about what it all means. 00:41:07.67\00:41:10.69 It means that the Holy Spirit might be 00:41:10.72\00:41:12.31 talking to your heart right now and saying, 00:41:12.34\00:41:15.79 "I have given my life for you. Can you trust me with your life? 00:41:15.82\00:41:20.35 And I will do something wonderful." 00:41:20.38\00:41:21.93 Don't waste your life. 00:41:21.96\00:41:22.99 Don't waste the opportunity to live forever. 00:41:23.02\00:41:26.49 The only way is to accept the gift of His Son. 00:41:26.52\00:41:29.05 We are saved by grace through faith, it is the gift of God. 00:41:29.08\00:41:33.76 And that gift was called Jesus. 00:41:33.79\00:41:37.05 You know, I just like to pray with you. 00:41:37.08\00:41:39.75 Father, in heaven I trust that 00:41:39.78\00:41:42.03 through the music that we're hearing 00:41:42.06\00:41:44.21 and the words that are spoken 00:41:44.24\00:41:45.96 that Your Spirit is striving with the hearts of people here. 00:41:45.99\00:41:49.12 And some may be have heard about You. 00:41:49.15\00:41:51.56 But they've never really unwrapped the gift 00:41:51.59\00:41:54.35 of accepting Jesus into their lives. 00:41:54.38\00:41:56.75 And asking you to guide their lives 00:41:56.78\00:41:58.92 and transform their hearts. 00:41:58.95\00:42:01.14 I pray right now that in the quite of their soul, 00:42:01.17\00:42:04.10 they'll make that decision 00:42:04.13\00:42:05.50 and they can be different from this moment on. 00:42:05.53\00:42:08.02 We pray in Jesus' name, amen. 00:42:08.05\00:42:10.36 He shall feed His flock 00:42:36.43\00:42:44.30 He shall feed His flock like a shepherd 00:42:45.35\00:42:53.08 And He shall hold them in His arms close to His heart 00:42:53.11\00:43:01.08 In his arms He will hold them close to His heart 00:43:05.88\00:43:13.88 In his arms He will hold them Close to His heart 00:43:17.13\00:43:25.13 All we like sheep have gone astray 00:43:49.81\00:43:57.81 All we like sheep All we like sheep 00:43:59.06\00:44:07.06 have turned to our own way 00:44:08.08\00:44:13.92 We have turned to our own way turn to our own way 00:44:13.95\00:44:21.92 He shall feed His flock He shall feed His flock 00:44:25.65\00:44:33.65 Like a shepherd He shall gather the lambs with His arm 00:44:35.37\00:44:43.37 In His arms He will hold them close to His heart 00:44:50.25\00:44:58.25 In His arms He will hold them close to His heart 00:45:01.24\00:45:09.24 In His arms He will hold them close to His heart 00:45:13.21\00:45:21.21 A lowly stable stood beneath a lonely star 00:46:17.37\00:46:25.37 A rugged manger embraced God's almighty heart 00:46:25.40\00:46:33.16 He came into the world that did not understand 00:46:33.19\00:46:40.85 His only purpose was to save the fallen soul of man 00:46:41.96\00:46:49.96 Beneath His Father's heaven Beneath His Father's heaven 00:46:49.99\00:46:57.45 Hope was born one silent night Hope was born one silent night 00:46:57.48\00:47:05.45 Beneath His Father's heaven Beneath His Father's heaven 00:47:05.48\00:47:13.17 A baby brought the truth to light 00:47:13.20\00:47:20.89 A baby brought the truth to light 00:47:20.92\00:47:28.89 He came unto His own And they would not receive 00:47:33.35\00:47:41.18 But poor and sinful ones Gladly heard Him and believed 00:47:41.21\00:47:48.36 The word of God made flesh Full of truth and of grace 00:47:48.39\00:47:56.36 The glory of the Father Shining bright upon His face 00:47:56.39\00:48:04.36 Beneath His Father's heaven Beneath His Father's heaven 00:48:04.39\00:48:12.24 Hope was born one silent night Hope was born one silent night 00:48:12.27\00:48:20.24 Beneath His Father's heaven Beneath His Father's heaven 00:48:20.27\00:48:27.73 A baby brought the truth to light 00:48:27.76\00:48:35.34 A baby brought the truth to light 00:48:35.37\00:48:42.94 Beneath His Father's heaven Beneath His Father's heaven 00:48:44.30\00:48:52.09 Hope was born one silent night Hope was born one silent night 00:48:52.12\00:48:59.59 Beneath His Father's heaven Beneath His Father's heaven 00:49:00.39\00:49:07.50 A baby brought the truth to light 00:49:07.53\00:49:14.73 A baby brought the truth to light 00:49:14.76\00:49:22.23 Beneath His Father's heaven 00:49:23.32\00:49:31.04 A baby brought the truth to light 00:49:31.07\00:49:39.04 Watch this?
