FORGETTING IN
NOTHING HIS BLESSING TO SEEK.
00:02:18.80\00:02:26.84
TAKE TIME TO BE HOLY, THE WORLD
RUSHES ON; SPEND MUCH TIME IN
00:02:26.84\00:02:36.35
SECRET WITH JESUS ALONE; BY
LOOKING TO JESUS, LIKE HIM THOU
00:02:36.35\00:02:47.03
SHALT BE; THY FRIENDS IN THY
CONDUCT HIS LIKENESS SHALL SEE.
00:02:47.03\00:02:57.91
TAKE TIME TO BE HOLY, LET HIM
BE THY GUIDE, AND RUN NOT BEFORE
00:02:57.91\00:03:08.48
HIM, WHATEVER BETIDE; IN JOY
OR IN SORROW, STILL FOLLOW THY
00:03:08.48\00:03:18.99
LORD, AND, LOOKING TO
JESUS, STILL TRUST IN HIS WORD.
00:03:18.99\00:03:29.14
TAKE TIME TO BE HOLY, BE CALM IN

>>THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR THAT BEAUTIFUL MUSIC.
00:05:54.12\00:05:56.32
THERE'S NOTHING LIKE
THE OLD HYMNS IN THE HYMNAL.
00:05:56.32\00:05:59.89
THERE'S BEAUTIFUL NEW MUSIC, BUT
THE WORDS AND THE MESSAGES THAT
00:05:59.89\00:06:03.66
YOU FIND IN THOSE OLD HYMNS ARE
VERY DEEP AND THEY CAN REALLY
00:06:03.66\00:06:08.10
SPEAK TO YOUR
HEART. THEY DO MINE.
00:06:08.10\00:06:11.13

SENIOR PASTOR HERE AT
THE GRANITE BAY SEVENTH-DAY
00:07:25.51\00:07:27.81
ADVENTIST CHURCH,
PASTOR DOUG BATCHELOR.
00:07:27.81\00:07:31.35
>>THERE THEY GO
AGAIN, SENIOR PASTOR.
00:07:31.35\00:07:35.55
I DON'T KNOW IF
I EVER LIKED THAT.
00:07:35.55\00:07:36.95
YOU KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING
NOW IS THE CHURCHES ARE SAYING,
00:07:36.95\00:07:38.89
'LEAD PASTOR'.
THAT SOUNDS BETTER.
00:07:38.89\00:07:41.69
THE OLDER YOU GET, THE LESS
YOU APPRECIATE SENIOR PASTOR.
00:07:41.69\00:07:46.03
MORNING EVERYONE. >>MORNING.
00:07:46.03\00:07:47.50
>>HAPPY
SABBATH. >>HAPPY SABBATH.
00:07:47.50\00:07:49.06
>>AND I WANT TO WELCOME OUR
FRIENDS THAT ARE WATCHING BOTH
00:07:49.06\00:07:51.53
ONLINE AND VIA THE INTERNET
- SOME ON SATELLITE - AND WE'RE
00:07:51.53\00:07:56.14
GLAD THAT YOU COULD JOIN
US. AS DEBBIE MENTIONED, WE'RE
00:07:56.14\00:07:58.01
CONTINUING IN OUR
STUDY IN THE BOOK OF MATTHEW.
00:07:58.01\00:08:01.38
AND, YOU KNOW, IT'D BE EASY
TO TAKE - I'M NOT EXAGGERATING -
00:08:01.38\00:08:04.01
YOU COULD TAKE TWO YEARS
AND NOT COVER HALF OF IT.
00:08:04.01\00:08:06.88
MATTHEW IS A GREAT BOOK AND,
AS WE'RE GOING THROUGH THESE
00:08:06.88\00:08:09.72
DIFFERENT CHAPTERS, I'M WANTING
TO JUST TAKE MORE TIME ON EACH
00:08:09.72\00:08:13.36
SUBJECT SO I'LL HAVE TO REALLY
PACE MYSELF TO GET THROUGH OUR
00:08:13.36\00:08:16.46
ASSIGNMENT TODAY.
LESSON TITLE TODAY IS IDOLS OF
00:08:16.46\00:08:19.79
THE SOUL AND OTHER LESSONS
FROM JESUS . AND I KNOW, WHOEVER
00:08:19.79\00:08:23.47
WROTE THE LESSON, THEY WERE
PROBABLY REALLY LOOKING FOR A
00:08:23.47\00:08:26.50
WAY TO TITLE THIS LESSON BECAUSE
THE CHAPTERS WE'RE COVERING -
00:08:26.50\00:08:29.54
CHAPTERS 18, 19, AND PART OF
CHAPTER 20 - IN MATTHEW IS VERY
00:08:29.54\00:08:33.07
ECLECTIC - IT'S ALL OVER THE
PLACE, SO FINDING A TITLE FOR
00:08:33.07\00:08:36.58
THAT WAS A CHALLENGE, I'M
SURE. WE HAVE A MEMORY VERSE.
00:08:36.58\00:08:39.61
MEMORY VERSE IS FROM MATTHEW
18:1 AND HERE IT'S FROM THE NIV.
00:08:39.61\00:08:44.15
IF YOU'LL SAY THAT WITH ME
- MATTHEW 18:1 - YOU READY?
00:08:44.15\00:08:48.22
"AT THAT TIME THE DISCIPLES CAME
TO JESUS AND ASKED, 'WHO, THEN,
00:08:48.22\00:08:53.26
IS THE GREATEST IN
THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN?'"
00:08:53.26\00:08:56.80
NOW, WHEN THE DISCIPLES WERE
ASKING THAT QUESTION 'WHO'S THE
00:08:56.80\00:08:59.20
GREATEST IN THE
KINGDOM OF HEAVEN?'
00:08:59.20\00:09:01.30
WHERE DID THEY THINK
THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN WAS?
00:09:01.30\00:09:04.74
DID THEY THINK IT WAS
UP THERE OR DOWN HERE?
00:09:04.74\00:09:08.34
>>DOWN HERE. >>THEY
WERE REALLY BELIEVING
00:09:08.34\00:09:10.15
THEY WERE GOING TO - THAT THE
KINGDOM OF HEAVEN WAS GOING TO
00:09:10.15\00:09:12.91
BE HERE ON EARTH TO BEGIN WITH
AND IT IS, IN A SENSE, BECAUSE
00:09:12.91\00:09:17.29
WHEN JESUS STARTED PREACHING
HE SAID, 'REPENT FOR THE KINGDOM
00:09:17.29\00:09:19.52
OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND.'
WHAT WAS CHRIST TALKING ABOUT,
00:09:19.52\00:09:22.49
UP THERE OR DOWN HERE?
JESUS SAID, 'THE KINGDOM OF
00:09:22.49\00:09:26.29
HEAVEN IS WITHIN YOU.' IS
THAT UP THERE OR DOWN HERE?
00:09:26.29\00:09:31.37
THE KINGDOM OF
HEAVEN IS WITHIN YOU.
00:09:31.37\00:09:33.37
THEY SAY, 'NEITHER HERE NOR
THERE IS THE KINGDOM, BUT THE
00:09:33.37\00:09:36.00
KINGDOM OF
HEAVEN IS WITHIN YOU.'
00:09:36.00\00:09:37.31
AND SO, WHEN JESUS SAID
THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN WAS AT
00:09:37.31\00:09:39.87
HAND 2,000 YEARS AGO,
IS IT STILL AT HAND TODAY?
00:09:39.87\00:09:43.14
IT MEANS AT HAND -
WITHIN REACH. THAT'S WHAT JOHN
00:09:43.14\00:09:45.55
THE BAPTIST SAID.
BUT THEY WERE THINKING
00:09:45.55\00:09:47.35
ABOUT A PHYSICAL
KINGDOM. WE KNOW THERE'S A
00:09:47.35\00:09:50.52
SPIRITUAL KINGDOM.
THERE'S A PHYSICAL KINGDOM.
00:09:50.52\00:09:53.02
SPIRITUAL
KINGDOM IS AT HAND NOW.
00:09:53.02\00:09:55.39
PHYSICAL KINGDOM, WHEN CHRIST
COMES DOWN AND REIGNS AS KING ON
00:09:55.39\00:09:58.46
THIS WORLD, THAT'S
STILL IN THE FUTURE.
00:09:58.46\00:10:00.93
SO - AND WE'LL GET INTO
THEIR BIG QUESTION OF WHO'S THE
00:10:00.93\00:10:04.00
GREATEST IN THE KINGDOM BECAUSE
THAT'S REALLY WHERE WE BEGIN.
00:10:04.00\00:10:07.34
SO TAKE YOUR BIBLES, TURN WITH
ME TO MATTHEW CHAPTER 18, AND
00:10:07.34\00:10:11.84
WE'RE GOING TO START THERE
AND, GOD WILLING, WE'LL GET
00:10:11.84\00:10:14.34
THROUGH AT LEAST CHAPTER 19.
AND AT THAT TIME - VERSE 1 - "AT
00:10:14.34\00:10:20.22
THAT TIME THE DISCIPLES CAME
TO JESUS, SAYING, 'WHO THEN IS
00:10:20.22\00:10:24.22
GREATEST IN THE KINGDOM OF
HEAVEN?' THEN JESUS CALLED A
00:10:24.22\00:10:27.86
LITTLE CHILD TO HIM, SET HIM
IN THE MIDST OF THEM, AND SAID,
00:10:27.86\00:10:31.96
'ASSUREDLY, I SAY TO YOU, UNLESS
YOU ARE CONVERTED AND BECOME AS
00:10:31.96\00:10:37.87
LITTLE CHILDREN, YOU WILL BY
NO MEANS ENTER THE KINGDOM OF
00:10:37.87\00:10:40.80
HEAVEN.
THEREFORE WHOEVER HUMBLES
00:10:40.80\00:10:43.37
HIMSELF AS THIS LITTLE
CHILD IS THE GREATEST IN THE
00:10:43.37\00:10:46.88
KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
WHOEVER RECEIVES ONE LITTLE
00:10:46.88\00:10:49.91
CHILD LIKE THIS IN
MY NAME RECEIVES ME.
00:10:49.91\00:10:53.65
WHOEVER CAUSES ONE OF THESE
LITTLE ONES WHO BELIEVE IN ME TO
00:10:53.65\00:10:57.52
SIN, IT WOULD BE BETTER FOR HIM
IF A MILLSTONE WERE HUNG AROUND
00:10:57.52\00:11:00.76
HIS NECK, AND HE WERE DROWNED
IN THE DEPTH OF THE SEA.'" NOW,
00:11:00.76\00:11:06.03
JESUS ACTUALLY USED A CHILD, A
PARTICULAR CHILD, AND YOU OFTEN
00:11:06.03\00:11:10.57
WONDER, 'WHAT HAPPENED
TO THAT CHILD LATER IN LIFE?
00:11:10.57\00:11:12.70
DID HE GROW UP AND
DO SOMETHING GREAT?'
00:11:12.70\00:11:15.14
BUT JESUS SAT HIM IN THE
MIDST AND USED HIM AS AN OBJECT
00:11:15.14\00:11:17.71
LESSON. HE SAID,
'IF YOU OFFEND ANYONE
00:11:17.71\00:11:19.34
LIKE THIS CHILD' - AND THAT
ACTUALLY HELPS ME BECAUSE WHEN
00:11:19.34\00:11:23.45
JESUS SAID, 'UNLESS YOU BECOME
CONVERTED AND BECOME LIKE A
00:11:23.45\00:11:26.01
LITTLE CHILD, YOU CANNOT
ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
00:11:26.01\00:11:30.25
WHAT ABOUT A
CHILD MUST WE IMITATE?
00:11:30.25\00:11:34.36
HOW DO WE BECOME CONVERTED
AND BECOME LIKE LITTLE CHILDREN.
00:11:34.36\00:11:38.39
WELL, TO PICK OUT SOME WORDS,
HOW IS IT THAT WE BECOME LIKE A
00:11:38.39\00:11:41.93
CHILD? WELL, ARE
THEY TEACHABLE? >>YES.
00:11:41.93\00:11:47.67
>>YEAH. ARE THEY HUMBLE?
SOMETIMES. YOU KNOW, BACK IN -
00:11:47.67\00:11:53.41
THIS IS MAYBE JUST A THEORY, BUT
I BELIEVE THAT CHILDREN BACK IN
00:11:53.41\00:11:57.28
THE DAYS OF JESUS WERE A
LITTLE MORE PLIABLE AND HUMBLE.
00:11:57.28\00:12:00.78
PART OF THE REASON IS PARENTAL
AUTHORITY WAS MORE RESPECTED.
00:12:00.78\00:12:05.99
AND SO, WHEN THEY ARE TOLD FROM
THE VERY BEGINNING TO HONOR YOUR
00:12:05.99\00:12:09.86
FATHER AND MOTHER AND THE WORD
OF YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER WAS
00:12:09.86\00:12:12.83
LAW, I MEAN, YOU
JUST THINK ABOUT IT.
00:12:12.83\00:12:16.03
A LITTLE LATER TODAY WE'RE GOING
TO BE TALKING ABOUT HANNAH.
00:12:16.03\00:12:19.00
HANNAH AND ELKANAH MAKE A
DECISION THAT SAMUEL IS GOING TO
00:12:19.00\00:12:25.54
SPEND HIS LIFE IN THE TEMPLE
AND SAMUEL DOES WHAT HIS PARENTS
00:12:25.54\00:12:29.88
TELL HIM TO DO.
ISAAC IS 40 YEARS OLD AND
00:12:29.88\00:12:33.95
ABRAHAM SAYS, 'I'M GOING TO
GO PICK YOU A WIFE.' HOW MANY OF
00:12:33.95\00:12:36.82
YOU 40-YEAR-OLDS
WOULD GO FOR THAT TODAY?
00:12:36.82\00:12:41.46
SO WHEN PARENTS SAID SOMETHING -
BACK THEN THEY WERE RAISED WITH
00:12:41.46\00:12:44.46
A LOT MORE SUBMISSION.
ANY OF YOU REMEMBER THE ADAGE
00:12:44.46\00:12:49.10
'CHILDREN SHOULD BE
SEEN AND NOT HEARD'?
00:12:49.10\00:12:53.37
KIDS WERE TOLD TO SIT QUIETLY IN
CHURCH AND THEY USED TO MAKE THE
00:12:53.37\00:12:56.34
CHILDREN SIT UP FRONT AND THE
DEACONS - PART OF THE JOB OF THE
00:12:56.34\00:13:00.41
DEACONS - THEY DIDN'T JUST
COLLECT OFFERINGS, THE DEACONS
00:13:00.41\00:13:02.44
USED TO HAVE A
SWITCH. I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF
00:13:02.44\00:13:05.71
YOUR GRANDPARENTS EVER TOLD
YOU ABOUT THOSE DAYS IN CHURCH.
00:13:05.71\00:13:09.22
AND IF THE KIDS WERE MAKING
NOISE IN CHURCH - AND SO, WHEN
00:13:09.22\00:13:12.12
JESUS SAID, 'UNLESS YOU BECOME
CONVERTED AND BECOME AS A LITTLE
00:13:12.12\00:13:14.46
CHILD' - THEY WERE - THEY
BELIEVED EVERYTHING THAT THEIR
00:13:14.46\00:13:18.03
PARENTS SAID, THEY HAD
FAITH, THEY WERE HUMBLE.
00:13:18.03\00:13:20.80
CHILDREN BRING JOY. WE SHOULD
BRING JOY. CHILDREN HAVE HUNGRY
00:13:20.80\00:13:30.91
MINDS. WE SHOULD HUNGER
AND THIRST FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
00:13:30.91\00:13:35.14
CHILDREN ARE UNINHIBITED.
THEY'RE NOT AFRAID TO
00:13:35.14\00:13:39.31
SHARE WHAT THEY BELIEVE.
SOMETIMES IT SCARES YOU THAT
00:13:39.31\00:13:43.42
CHILDREN AREN'T AFRAID TO
SHARE WHAT THEY'RE THINKING.
00:13:43.42\00:13:47.56
IT'S KIND OF LIKE I HEARD THAT
STORY NOT TOO LONG AGO ABOUT A
00:13:47.56\00:13:51.66
LITTLE CHILD WAS WITH HIS
GRANDPA IN THE CHECKOUT LINE AT
00:13:51.66\00:13:55.66
SOME STORE AND, IN THE LINE
AHEAD OF THEM WAS A VERY LARGE
00:13:55.66\00:14:00.20
MAN AND THE BOY SAID, 'GRANDPA,
LOOK AT THAT MAN' - LOUD ENOUGH
00:14:00.20\00:14:05.64
FOR THE MAN TO
HEAR - 'HE IS SO BIG.
00:14:05.64\00:14:10.38
I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER SEEN
SUCH A BIG MAN.' (LAUGHTER) AND
00:14:10.38\00:14:13.92
GRANDPA SAID, 'SHHHHHH' - KIDS
SAY WHATEVER THEY'RE THINKING.
00:14:13.92\00:14:17.82
HE SAID, 'WHY, HE'S AS BIG AS
A MOUNTAIN.' AND THIS TIME THE
00:14:17.82\00:14:22.62
CLERK, YOU KNOW, IS GIGGLING AND
THE MAN'S LOOKING - AND THEN THE
00:14:22.62\00:14:25.16
MAN'S PHONE WENT OFF AND
THE LITTLE BOY SAID, 'WATCH OUT
00:14:25.16\00:14:27.73
GRANDPA, HE'S BACKING
UP!' (LAUGHTER) THE KIDS SAY
00:14:27.73\00:14:33.80
WHATEVER THEY THINK. I
REMEMBER I WAS IN LINE WITH -
00:14:33.80\00:14:36.84
I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS NATHAN
OR DANIEL - ONE OF THE KIDS ONE
00:14:36.84\00:14:39.24
TIME - AND THERE WAS A PREGNANT
WOMAN IN LINE AND, 'WOW, DAD,
00:14:39.24\00:14:49.08
SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE'S GOING
TO HAVE HER BABY ANY DAY NOW.'
00:14:49.08\00:14:51.35
(LAUGHTER)
THEY'RE JUST UNINHIBITED.
00:14:51.35\00:14:55.36
BUT, YOU KNOW, THEY DON'T HAVE
GUILTY CONSCIENCES SO, YOU KNOW,
00:14:55.36\00:14:58.99
THEY JUST SAY WHAT THEY
THINK. THEY'RE INNOCENT.
00:14:58.99\00:15:01.56
AND JESUS WANTS
US TO BE CONVERTED.
00:15:01.56\00:15:04.30
HE SAID - MATTER OF FACT,
HE DIDN'T SAY IT'S A - IT'S AN
00:15:04.30\00:15:07.70
OPTION, JESUS SAID, 'UNLESS
YOU'RE CONVERTED AND BECOME LIKE
00:15:07.70\00:15:12.24
LITTLE CHILDREN YOU WILL
IN NO WAY ENTER THE KINGDOM OF
00:15:12.24\00:15:15.01
HEAVEN.' AND PART OF WHAT THE
LORD IS TALKING ABOUT THERE IS
00:15:15.01\00:15:19.41
HUMILITY BECAUSE THE DISCIPLES
WERE STRUGGLING WITH PRIDE.
00:15:19.41\00:15:25.85
CHILDREN, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE
USUALLY SHORTER THAN ADULTS AND
00:15:25.85\00:15:30.86
THEY KNOW IT AND THEY ACT
LIKE THERE'S A HUMILITY THERE.
00:15:30.86\00:15:35.36
AS YOU GROW UP, WE START
THINKING WE'RE BIGGER THAN WE
00:15:35.36\00:15:37.50
ARE. SO, YOU READ
IN MATTHEW 18, THE
00:15:37.50\00:15:43.24
DISCIPLES WANT TO KNOW 'WHO
IS THE GREATEST IN THE KINGDOM?'
00:15:43.24\00:15:47.64
WHY DO THEY WANT TO KNOW THAT?
BECAUSE THEY WERE ARGUING AMONG
00:15:47.64\00:15:52.45
THEMSELVES FREQUENTLY
ABOUT WHO WAS THE GREATEST.
00:15:52.45\00:15:56.28
WHEN THEY THOUGHT ABOUT JESUS'
KINGDOM, THEY THOUGHT ABOUT HE
00:15:56.28\00:15:59.85
WAS GOING TO BE A NEW PRESIDENT
- A NEW KING - AND HE WOULD
00:15:59.85\00:16:02.99
APPOINT A NEW CABINET AND
SOMEONE WOULD BE THE GENERAL AND
00:16:02.99\00:16:06.56
SOMEONE WOULD BE THE SCRIBE AND
HE'D HAVE PERSONAL ADVISORS AND
00:16:06.56\00:16:11.07
A SECURITY DETAIL AND SOMONE'D
BE THE TREASURER, BUT EVERYONE
00:16:11.07\00:16:14.37
THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE JUDAS -
THAT HE'D BE GREAT AT THAT - AND
00:16:14.37\00:16:18.77
THEY WERE ALL WONDERING
WHAT THEIR POSITION WAS.
00:16:18.77\00:16:20.78
YOU REMEMBER LATER THAT PETER
AND JOHN - THIS IS LATER IN OUR
00:16:20.78\00:16:23.21
STUDY - THEY COME TO JESUS -
THEY WANT TO KNOW WHO'S GOING TO
00:16:23.21\00:16:25.35
SIT ON THE RIGHT
AND THE LEFT HAND.
00:16:25.35\00:16:27.75
SO THEY'RE STRIVING
FOR THE GREATEST PLACE.
00:16:27.75\00:16:33.49
HE SAID, 'UNLESS YOU BECOME
CONVERTED AND BECOME LIKE LITTLE
00:16:33.49\00:16:36.19
CHILDREN, YOU WILL IN NO WAY
ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'
00:16:36.19\00:16:38.93
SOMEONE IS GOING TO READ A VERSE
FOR ME AND I THINK IT'S GOING TO
00:16:38.93\00:16:42.03
BE MATTHEW 23:11. YOU'LL
HAVE THAT IN A MOMENT, HAFDIS?
00:16:42.03\00:16:45.30
I'LL READ MARK 10:13, "THEN THEY
BROUGHT LITTLE CHILDREN TO HIM,
00:16:45.30\00:16:49.54
THAT HE MIGHT TOUCH THEM; BUT
THE DISCIPLES REBUKED THOSE WHO
00:16:49.54\00:16:53.51
BROUGHT THEM." WHY
DID THEY REBUKE THEM?
00:16:53.51\00:16:57.35
JESUS IS BUSY. I
MEAN, HE'S TEACHING.
00:16:57.35\00:17:00.25
HE'S GOING TO BE - HE'S THE
MESSIAH - HE'S GOING TO SIT ON
00:17:00.25\00:17:02.45
THE THRONE OF DAVID AND HE'S
GOT SO MUCH HE'S DOING AND THESE
00:17:02.45\00:17:05.49
MOTHERS SAY, 'CAN
YOU BLESS MY CHILDREN?
00:17:05.49\00:17:07.79
JUST PLACE YOUR HANDS ON
THEM AND PRAY FOR THEM.' AND THE
00:17:07.79\00:17:10.39
DISCIPLES ARE
SAYING, 'OH, THESE KIDS.
00:17:10.39\00:17:11.73
YOU KNOW, CHILDREN ARE TO
BE SEEN AND NOT HEARD AND WE'RE
00:17:11.73\00:17:14.50
BUSY. DON'T BOTHER HIM.'
HOW DID JESUS FEEL ABOUT THAT?
00:17:14.50\00:17:19.17
YOU KNOW, IT'S INTERESTING,
MARK, WHEN HE TELLS THIS STORY,
00:17:19.17\00:17:22.60
HE EMPHASIZES - IT SAYS, 'JESUS
WAS GREATLY DISPLEASED WHEN HE
00:17:22.60\00:17:27.54
HEARD THAT THE DISCIPLES WERE
SHOOING AWAY THE MOTHERS AND THE
00:17:27.54\00:17:31.41
CHILDREN.' WAS HE JUST
DISPLEASED OR HE WAS GREATLY
00:17:31.41\00:17:35.85
DISPLEASED? WHY? "LET
THE LITTLE CHILDREN COME TO
00:17:35.85\00:17:40.09
ME, AND DO NOT FORBID THEM; FOR
OF SUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD."
00:17:40.09\00:17:45.86
AND THEN HE REPEATS WHAT YOU
FIND IN MATTHEW, "ASSUREDLY, I
00:17:45.86\00:17:48.46
SAY TO YOU, WHOEVER DOES NOT
RECEIVE THE KINGDOM OF GOD AS A
00:17:48.46\00:17:52.23
LITTLE CHILD WILL
BY NO MEANS ENTER IT."
00:17:52.23\00:17:55.30
YOU KNOW, ANOTHER WAY THAT
WE NEED TO IMITATE CHILDREN?
00:17:55.30\00:17:59.27
CHILDREN HAVE A SIMPLE FAITH.
I REMEMBER - I KNEW A GIRL AND
00:17:59.27\00:18:05.55
SHE TOLD ME THAT WHEN SHE
WAS LITTLE, AFTER A RAINY DAY
00:18:05.55\00:18:08.62
WALKING DOWN THE STREET, SHE SAW
THE REFLECTION OF THE SKY IN THE
00:18:08.62\00:18:13.49
PUDDLES AND HER FATHER SAID,
'DON'T STEP IN THE PUDDLES OR
00:18:13.49\00:18:18.56
YOU'LL FALL INTO THE
SKY.' AND SHE BELIEVED HIM.
00:18:18.56\00:18:24.40
I'M SURE SHE GREW OUT OF THAT
BUT WHEN SHE WAS LITTLE LIKE
00:18:24.40\00:18:28.37
THAT SHE WAS SO SCARED SHE WAS
GOING TO STEP IN ONE OF THESE
00:18:28.37\00:18:30.74
PUDDLES AND FALL INTO THE SKY
BECAUSE CHILDREN BELIEVE THEIR
00:18:30.74\00:18:35.84
PARENTS. NOW,
YOU'VE GOT TO BE CAREFUL AS
00:18:35.84\00:18:37.78
PARENTS WHAT YOU TELL YOUR
KIDS BECAUSE IF YOU TEACH THEM
00:18:37.78\00:18:40.12
NOT TO TRUST YOU, LATER THEY'LL
HAVE PROBLEMS TRUSTING GOD,
00:18:40.12\00:18:43.99
THEIR HEAVENLY FATHER.
AND SO, GOD WANTS US TO
00:18:43.99\00:18:47.66
HAVE A CHILD-LIKE
FAITH. WHEN THE LORD SAYS
00:18:47.66\00:18:50.66
SOMETHING I BELIEVE IT.
IT'S LIKE THAT ROMAN CENTURION:
00:18:50.66\00:18:54.56
WHEN HE SAID, 'LORD, YOU DON'T
EVEN NEED TO COME TO MY HOUSE.
00:18:54.56\00:18:59.00
I BELIEVE YOU - SPEAK THE
WORD AND YOU'LL HEAL MY CHILD.'
00:18:59.00\00:19:03.17
AND JESUS
STOPPED AND HE MARVELED.
00:19:03.17\00:19:04.57
HE SAID, 'I'VE NOT SEEN FAITH
LIKE THIS IN ALL OF ISRAEL.' AND
00:19:04.57\00:19:07.94
HE TOLD THIS OTHER WOMAN, HE
SAID, 'GO HOME, YOUR DAUGHTER IS
00:19:07.94\00:19:11.51
HEALED. SHE DIDN'T ARGUE.
SHE BELIEVED IT. AND SO THE LORD
00:19:11.51\00:19:15.65
WANTS US TO HAVE A SIMPLE FAITH.
I KNOW THAT, IN SOME WAYS, I
00:19:15.65\00:19:21.42
THINK EARLIER IN MY CHRISTIAN
EXPERIENCE MY FAITH WAS
00:19:21.42\00:19:25.26
STRONGER. ONCE I STARTED
BELIEVING IN GOD, I'D READ
00:19:25.26\00:19:29.53
SOMETHING IN THE
BIBLE, I'D TAKE IT SERIOUSLY.
00:19:29.53\00:19:32.63
AND I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS LIVING
ON THE STREETS AND PANHANDLING,
00:19:32.63\00:19:35.77
ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION I
PRAYED AND I SAID, 'LORD, I HAVE
00:19:35.77\00:19:41.88
NOTHING TO EAT.'
AND 'I HAVE NO FOOD.
00:19:41.88\00:19:45.85
I HAVE NO MONEY, BUT YOU SAID IN
YOUR WORD THAT IF A FATHER HAS A
00:19:45.85\00:19:50.22
SON AND HE ASKS FOR BREAD, HE
WON'T GIVE HIM A STONE.' I SAID,
00:19:50.22\00:19:54.12
'LORD, GIVE ME THIS DAY MY
DAILY BREAD. HELP ME FIND FOOD.'
00:19:54.12\00:19:57.86
I HAD NOTHING. AND I
COULD JUST TELL YOU STORY
00:19:57.86\00:20:00.03
AFTER STORY OF
MIRACLES THAT HAPPENED.
00:20:00.03\00:20:02.60
ONE PERSON JUST OFFERED TO
BUY ME FOOD IN A RESTAURANT.
00:20:02.60\00:20:06.00
AND ANOTHER TIME I PRAYED AND
I SAID, 'LORD, I HAVE NOTHING TO
00:20:06.00\00:20:09.74
EAT.' AND I WAS PLAYING THE
FLUTE AND I SAID, 'PLEASE SEND
00:20:09.74\00:20:11.84
SOMEBODY BY AND I NEED AN EXACT
AMOUNT' - I WAS ACTUALLY WITH A
00:20:11.84\00:20:14.68
FRIEND - I SAID,
'LET ME SHOW YOU.
00:20:14.68\00:20:16.54
JESUS'LL ANSWER OUR PRAYERS.'
HE SAID, 'WELL, I BELIEVE IN GOD
00:20:16.54\00:20:19.45
BUT I DON'T BELIEVE IN
JESUS.' HIS NAME WAS DOUG ALSO.
00:20:19.45\00:20:22.62
AND SO HE PLAYED THE
GUITAR AND I PLAYED THE FLUTE.
00:20:22.62\00:20:24.42
I SAID, 'WATCH THIS.' I
SAID I'LL PRAY, 'HOW MUCH DO YOU
00:20:24.42\00:20:26.19
THINK WE NEED?' HE SAID, 'WELL,
IT WOULD BE REALLY NICE IF,
00:20:26.19\00:20:28.59
INSTEAD OF GOING TO THE MARKET,
WE COULD EAT OUT. SO, IF WE HAD
00:20:28.59\00:20:31.13
TWO DOLLARS APIECE' - YOU COULD
BUY A NICE BREAKFAST IN PALM
00:20:31.13\00:20:33.83
SPRINGS FOR TWO DOLLARS
BACK THEN, BELIEVE IT OR NOT.
00:20:33.83\00:20:36.43
AND I SAID, 'LET'S PRAY FOR FOUR
DOLLARS.' I SAID, 'I'LL SHOW YOU
00:20:36.43\00:20:41.57
JESUS IS REAL.' SO WE PRAYED
AND SAID, 'JESUS, SHOW DOUG THAT
00:20:41.57\00:20:44.37
YOU'RE REAL.' AND SO WE SAW A
LADY WALKING UP THE STREET AND
00:20:44.37\00:20:48.08
WE STARTED - HE PLAYED THE
GUITAR, I PLAYED THE FLUTE - SHE
00:20:48.08\00:20:50.61
STOPPED AND SHE LISTENED FOR
A MINUTE AND WE SAID, 'WOULD YOU
00:20:50.61\00:20:52.65
HAVE ANY SPARE CHANGE SO
WE CAN GET SOMETHING TO EAT?'
00:20:52.65\00:20:55.42
AND SHE WAS TAKEN
BACK BY THAT A LITTLE BIT.
00:20:55.42\00:20:59.29
SHE WAS A DIGNIFIED-LOOKING LADY
AND SHE SAID, 'WELL, NORMALLY I
00:20:59.29\00:21:02.79
WOULDN'T DO THIS, BUT TODAY'S MY
SON'S BIRTHDAY' - AND SHE STARTS
00:21:02.79\00:21:07.03
FISHING AROUND IN HER PURSE
AND SHE PULLS OUT FOUR DOLLARS.
00:21:07.03\00:21:10.63
SHE WALKS AWAY AND
DOUG WAS SITTING THERE.
00:21:10.63\00:21:13.60
I SAID, 'SEE, YOU JUST ASK
JESUS.' I HAD THIS CHILD-LIKE
00:21:13.60\00:21:16.67
FAITH AND ALL THESE
THINGS LIKE THAT HAPPENED TO ME.
00:21:16.67\00:21:19.21
I REMEMBER ONE TIME I WAS
HITCHHIKING AND I DIDN'T HAVE A
00:21:19.21\00:21:22.28
SLEEPING BAG AND IT WAS NIGHT
AND I SAID, 'LORD, I PRAY YOU'LL
00:21:22.28\00:21:24.98
GIVE ME A RIDE WITH SOMEBODY
THAT'LL BUY ME A HOTEL ROOM.'
00:21:24.98\00:21:28.08
GUESS WHAT HAPPENED.
SOMEONE PICKED ME UP AND
00:21:28.08\00:21:30.92
SAID, 'IT'S GETTING LATE.
LET'S GET A HOTEL ROOM.' AND
00:21:30.92\00:21:33.86
THEY SHARED A ROOM WITH
ME AND GAVE ME MY OWN BED.
00:21:33.86\00:21:36.73
I WAS PRAYING AND I SAID, 'LORD,
I NEED A SHOWER.' I DON'T WANT
00:21:36.73\00:21:40.03
TO - 'IT'S RAINING, I DON'T WANT
TO BE STUCK OUT ON THE ROAD.' IT
00:21:40.03\00:21:43.10
JUST - I COULD GO STORY AFTER
STORY. NOW, WHAT HAPPENS IS, I
00:21:43.10\00:21:45.87
THINK THE LORD, WHEN YOU'RE
YOUNG IN YOUR FAITH, HE WORKS
00:21:45.87\00:21:49.94
MIRACLES FOR YOU AT A GREATER
DEGREE TO HELP ROOT YOUR FAITH.
00:21:49.94\00:21:57.35
BUT IF YOU'VE GOT THAT
CHILD-LIKE FAITH - ANY OF YOU
00:21:57.35\00:21:59.41
EVER READ ANY BOOKS
ABOUT GEORGE MUELLER?
00:21:59.41\00:22:02.38
HE RAN AN ORPHANAGE THERE IN
ENGLAND FOR MANY YEARS AND HE
00:22:02.38\00:22:05.99
JUST PRAYED AND GOD
SUPPLIED MIRACLE AFTER MIRACLE.
00:22:05.99\00:22:09.52
HE SUPPLIED THE FOOD THEY NEEDED
FROM DAY TO DAY, THE CLOTHES
00:22:09.52\00:22:11.59
THEY NEEDED FOR THE KIDS,
THE MONEY FOR THE BILLS - AND HE
00:22:11.59\00:22:14.73
WOULD PRAY. HE
DIDN'T SEND OUT APPEAL
00:22:14.73\00:22:16.23
LETTERS, HE WOULD JUST
PRAY. AND PEOPLE WOULD COME AND
00:22:16.23\00:22:20.14
SOMETIMES THERE'D BE NO
BREAKFAST AND HE'D TELL ALL THE
00:22:20.14\00:22:23.81
CHILDREN, 'LET'S PRAY.'
AND WHILE THEY'RE PRAYING, A
00:22:23.81\00:22:26.31
TRUCK PULLS UP WITH BREAD. I
MEAN, JUST WONDERFUL STORIES.
00:22:26.31\00:22:30.55
AND I THINK THE LORD WANTS HIS
PEOPLE TO HAVE MORE CHILD-LIKE
00:22:30.55\00:22:33.78
FAITH WHERE WE PRAY SIMPLE
PRAYERS AND EVEN PRAY FOR BIG
00:22:33.78\00:22:37.42
THINGS AND GOD'LL ANSWER THOSE
PRAYERS. DO YOU BELIEVE THAT?
00:22:37.42\00:22:41.42
ALRIGHT, GO AHEAD.
READ FOR US OUR NEXT VERSE.
00:22:41.42\00:22:43.43
>>"BUT HE WHO IS GREATEST AMONG
YOU SHALL BE YOUR SERVANT AND
00:22:43.43\00:22:47.96
WHOEVER EXALTS HIMSELF
WILL BE HUMBLED AND HE WHO
00:22:47.96\00:22:51.93
HUMBLES HIMSELF
WILL BE EXALTED."
00:22:51.93\00:22:55.04
>>YEAH, SO THIS IS A SIMPLE
PRINCIPLE OF HUMILITY AND PRIDE.
00:22:55.04\00:22:59.14
IN THE BIBLE, YOU HAVE TWO
PRINCIPLE CHARACTERS THAT ARE
00:22:59.14\00:23:03.11
THE ANTITHESIS OF EACH
OTHER - JESUS AND LUCIFER.
00:23:03.11\00:23:08.55
GOD IS LOVE AND JESUS
IS MEEK. HE IS HUMBLE.
00:23:08.55\00:23:14.36
HE HUMBLED HIMSELF EVEN
TO THE POINT OF THE CROSS.
00:23:14.36\00:23:18.23
HE WAS WILLING TO LEAVE THE
THRONE AND, NOT ONLY TAKE ON THE
00:23:18.23\00:23:21.96
FORM OF A MAN, BUT TO SUFFER
FOR THE SINS OF THE WORLD.
00:23:21.96\00:23:27.20
THE DEVIL, WHO IS A CREATION,
WANTS TO BE THE CREATOR.
00:23:27.20\00:23:31.47
THE DEVIL WANTS THE THRONE OF
GOD, EVEN IF IT MEANS HE NEEDS
00:23:31.47\00:23:34.58
TO KILL GOD TO GET IT. THE
DEVIL IS ALL ABOUT HIMSELF.
00:23:34.58\00:23:40.25
HE WHO HUMBLES
HIMSELF WILL BE EXALTED.
00:23:40.25\00:23:42.92
HE WHO EXALTS
HIMSELF WILL BE HUMBLED.
00:23:42.92\00:23:44.52
WHO HUMBLED HIMSELF
THE MOST? JESUS DID.
00:23:44.52\00:23:49.02
WHO WILL BE
EXALTED THE MOST? >>JESUS.
00:23:49.02\00:23:51.73
>>JESUS WILL. WHO
EXALTED HIMSELF THE MOST?
00:23:51.73\00:23:55.00
SATAN. WHO IS GOING
TO BE HUMBLED THE MOST?
00:23:55.00\00:23:58.17
IT SAYS HE'LL BE BROUGHT DOWN TO
THE PIT - TO THE LOWEST PARTS OF
00:23:58.17\00:24:01.30
SHEOL. AND IT'S STILL TRUE.
00:24:01.30\00:24:04.57
THOSE THAT LIFT THEMSELVES UP
WILL BE PUT DOWN AND THOSE THAT
00:24:04.57\00:24:07.44
PUT THEMSELVES
DOWN WILL BE LIFTED UP.
00:24:07.44\00:24:10.35
AND SO, YOU CAN SEE A LOT
OF EXAMPLES IN THE BIBLE AND
00:24:10.35\00:24:15.78
ESPECIALLY IN THE
STORY OF THE KINGS.
00:24:15.78\00:24:17.99
WHO WAS ONE OF THE
MEEKEST OF THE KINGS?
00:24:17.99\00:24:21.62
DAVID. YOU TAKE
HIM - HE'S A SHEPHERD -
00:24:21.62\00:24:24.73
HE WASN'T EVEN INVITED -
AND GOD MAKES HIM A GREAT KING.
00:24:24.73\00:24:28.43
BUT WHEN THE KING STARTED TO BE
PROUD OF HIS POSITION - CAN YOU
00:24:28.43\00:24:32.30
THINK OF SOME KINGS THAT GOT
INTO TROUBLE BECAUSE WITH THE
00:24:32.30\00:24:34.77
POWER CAME PRIDE? >>SAUL.
00:24:34.77\00:24:37.91
>>KING SAUL WAS DESTROYED.
WHEN HE WAS HUMBLE IN HIS
00:24:37.91\00:24:40.61
OWN EYES GOD USED HIM. HE
WAS FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT.
00:24:40.61\00:24:43.75
BUT THEN HE BECAME PROUD AND
REBELLIOUS AND THE HOLY SPIRIT
00:24:43.75\00:24:46.08
LEFT HIM AND A
DEMONIC SPIRIT CAME IN.
00:24:46.08\00:24:48.62
ANOTHER KING. >>UZZIAH.
00:24:48.62\00:24:50.22
>>UZZIAH - KING
UZZIAH - GOOD KING.
00:24:50.22\00:24:53.92
GOD WAS WITH HIM.
BUILT UP THE KINGDOM, BECAME
00:24:53.92\00:24:56.29
PROUD, AND SAID, 'WHY
CAN'T I DO WHAT THE PRIESTS DO?'
00:24:56.29\00:24:58.89
AND HE WENT INTO THE TEMPLE
TO BURN INCENSE THAT ONLY THE
00:24:58.89\00:25:01.46
PRIESTS WERE SUPPOSED TO DO
AND HE WAS CURSED WITH LEPROSY.
00:25:01.46\00:25:05.30
HOW ABOUT HEZEKIAH?
GOOD KING, BUT THEN AFTER GOD
00:25:05.30\00:25:10.87
HEALED HIM AND WORKED A MIRACLE
FOR HIM, HE THOUGHT, 'YEAH, THE
00:25:10.87\00:25:13.68
LORD AND I, WE'VE GOT
A SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP.
00:25:13.68\00:25:15.81
I'M CLOSER TO GOD THAN
ANYBODY. IT WAS RELIGIOUS PRIDE.
00:25:15.81\00:25:19.21
AND WHEN THE AMBASSADORS CAME
FROM BABYLON, HE BEGAN TO BOAST
00:25:19.21\00:25:22.98
AND SAY, 'HERE'S MY ARMORY AND
HERE'S MY SPICES AND HERE'S MY
00:25:22.98\00:25:26.96
TREASURE AND HERE'S MY PALACE
AND HERE'S' - HE SHOWED THEM
00:25:26.96\00:25:30.23
EVERYTHING IN HIS HOUSE AND HE
NEVER TALKED TO THEM ABOUT GOD.
00:25:30.23\00:25:33.90
AND, BECAUSE OF HIS PRIDE,
ISAIAH SAID 'THE LORD'S GOING TO
00:25:33.90\00:25:37.07
TAKE AWAY EVERYTHING
YOU SHOWED TO BABYLON.'
00:25:37.07\00:25:40.27
NEBUCHADNEZZAR HAD
THAT DREAM OF THE TREE.
00:25:40.27\00:25:45.47
DANIEL SAID, 'I'D ENCOURAGE
YOU TO BREAK OFF YOUR SINS BY
00:25:45.47\00:25:48.18
RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT IT
MIGHT BE THE LENGTHENING OF YOUR
00:25:48.18\00:25:50.65
TRANQUILITY.' AND HE BEHAVED
HIMSELF FOR ABOUT A YEAR, BUT
00:25:50.65\00:25:54.25
THEN HE BECAME FILLED WITH PRIDE
AGAIN - AND IT WAS A MAGNIFICENT
00:25:54.25\00:25:56.85
KINGDOM. YOU KNOW,
I THINK ANY OF US, IF
00:25:56.85\00:25:59.19
WE WERE KING OF
BABYLON, WE'D HAVE TROUBLE.
00:25:59.19\00:26:01.56
IT WAS A GOLDEN KINGDOM - JUST
A - I MEAN, YOU READ WHAT THE
00:26:01.56\00:26:05.69
HISTORIANS SAY ABOUT BABYLON -
WALLS 56 MILES AROUND THE CITY -
00:26:05.69\00:26:10.87
14 MILES EACH SIDE - 200
FEET HIGH - GOLD EVERYWHERE.
00:26:10.87\00:26:16.04
I MEAN, HE HAD ENOUGH GOLD
TO MAKE A STATUE - WHAT, 60-FEET
00:26:16.04\00:26:19.01
HIGH BY 6 FEET WIDE BY 6 FEET -
6X6X6 - OH THAT'S CUBITS - SORRY
00:26:19.01\00:26:25.18
- THAT'S EVEN MORE. THAT'S A
LOT OF GOLD. WEALTHY KINGDOM -
00:26:25.18\00:26:29.25
SPLENDID - HANGING
GARDENS - CONQUERED THE WORLD.
00:26:29.25\00:26:32.82
HE'S WALKING ON HIS PALACE - 'IS
NOT THIS THE GREAT BABYLON THAT
00:26:32.82\00:26:36.42
I HAVE MADE?'
WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?
00:26:36.42\00:26:38.66
HE THAT EXALTS
HIMSELF WILL BE HUMBLED.
00:26:38.66\00:26:42.80
HE WENT FROM BEING THIS
BRILLIANT KING TO A GROVELING
00:26:42.80\00:26:46.13
BEAST, IN A MOMENT.
THAT'S SOMETHING TO REMIND US
00:26:46.13\00:26:50.51
THAT WHEN WE EXALT
OURSELVES, WE CAN BE HUMBLED.
00:26:50.51\00:26:57.61
AND THIS WAS A PRINCIPLE THAT
JESUS WAS TRYING TO TEACH THE
00:26:57.61\00:27:00.42
DISCIPLES. YOU
PROBABLY HEARD THAT STORY
00:27:00.42\00:27:05.65
ONE TIME ABOUT THIS MAN IN A
TOWN AND HE WAS SUCH A HUMBLE
00:27:05.65\00:27:09.42
MAN AND EVERYBODY WAS SO
IMPRESSED WITH HIS HUMILITY THEY
00:27:09.42\00:27:13.16
GAVE HIM A MEDAL FOR BEING
THE HUMBLEST MAN IN THE TOWN.
00:27:13.16\00:27:17.23
BUT THEN THEY TOOK THE MEDAL
AWAY BECAUSE HE HAD THE PRIDE TO
00:27:17.23\00:27:19.57
WEAR IT. CHRIST'S OBJECT LESSONS
00:27:19.57\00:27:24.61
P. 154, "THE EVIL THAT LED TO
PETER'S FALL AND THAT SHUT THE
00:27:24.61\00:27:30.38
PHARISEE FROM COMMUNION
WITH GOD, IS PROVING THE RUIN OF
00:27:30.38\00:27:33.88
THOUSANDS TODAY. THERE
IS NOTHING SO OFFENSIVE TO
00:27:33.88\00:27:37.62
GOD OR SO DANGEROUS TO
THE HUMAN SOUL AS PRIDE AND
00:27:37.62\00:27:41.96
SELF-SUFFICIENCY. OF
ALL THE SINS, IT IS THE MOST
00:27:41.96\00:27:45.83
HOPELESS - THE MOST INCURABLE."
IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, WHEN
00:27:45.83\00:27:49.60
JESUS BEGINS HIS MINISTRY IT'S
NOT JUST THE PRIDE OF THE WORLD.
00:27:49.60\00:27:52.80
YOU KNOW, FOOTBALL PLAYERS GET A
TOUCHDOWN AND THEN THEY DO THIS
00:27:52.80\00:27:56.07
VICTORY DANCE. IT'S KIND OF LIKE
GLOATING AND BOASTING, ISN'T IT?
00:27:56.07\00:28:01.01
IT'S LIKE A ROOSTER
STRUTTING. IT'S PRIDE.
00:28:01.01\00:28:05.85
IT'S NOT SO MUCH THE PRIDE
OF THE WORLD THAT JESUS WAS
00:28:05.85\00:28:07.72
CONCERNED ABOUT, IT WAS PRIDE
IN THE CHURCH - RELIGIOUS PRIDE.
00:28:07.72\00:28:11.49
IS IT POSSIBLE FOR A PERSON TO
PRAY, NOT BECAUSE THEY WANT TO
00:28:11.49\00:28:15.29
TALK TO GOD, BUT THEY WANT
PEOPLE TO BE IMPRESSED WITH
00:28:15.29\00:28:17.53
THEIR PRAYERS? DID JESUS ADDRESS
PHARISEES THAT PRAY TO BE SEEN?
00:28:17.53\00:28:23.00
IS IT POSSIBLE TO GIVE, NOT
BECAUSE YOU LOVE THE LORD OR
00:28:23.00\00:28:26.17
CARE FOR THE POOR, BUT YOU
WANT TO HAVE PEOPLE THINK YOU'RE
00:28:26.17\00:28:29.07
GENEROUS? THAT'S
PRIDE - SPIRITUAL PRIDE.
00:28:29.07\00:28:34.18
AND SOMEONE MIGHT FAST AND THEY
GO AROUND AND THEY TRY TO LOOK
00:28:34.18\00:28:36.81
PIOUS SO THEY, YOU KNOW,
DRAW OUT THEIR FACE, BUT THEY'RE
00:28:36.81\00:28:41.05
FASTING TO BE SEEN OF MEN.
00:28:41.05\00:28:42.68
SO PRAYING TO BE SEEN, GIVING
TO BE SEEN, FASTING TO BE SEEN -
00:28:42.68\00:28:46.35
AND THOSE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF
EXAMPLES, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF
00:28:46.35\00:28:48.16
THINGS A PERSON CAN DO AND
THEY'RE DOING - I THINK IT'S
00:28:48.16\00:28:52.23
GREAT TO MEMORIZE
SCRIPTURE AND IT'S WONDERFUL.
00:28:52.23\00:28:57.87
I THINK WE OUGHT TO BRING THE
KIDS UP SOMETIMES AND WHEN THEY
00:28:57.87\00:29:00.10
MEMORIZE SCRIPTURE - THAT
THEY SHARE WITH EVERYONE AND YOU
00:29:00.10\00:29:02.20
ENCOURAGE THEM AND IT'S
OKAY TO BE A PROUD PARENT.
00:29:02.20\00:29:04.97
BUT WHEN YOU WANT SOMEONE ELSE
TO BE IMPRESSED WITH HOW MUCH
00:29:04.97\00:29:07.54
SCRIPTURE YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT
TO BE CAREFUL BECAUSE THE DEVIL
00:29:07.54\00:29:10.61
PROBABLY KNOWS MORE THAN YOU DO
AND IT'S NOT GOING TO SAVE HIM.
00:29:10.61\00:29:14.02
AND SO THERE'S RELIGIOUS PRIDE
AND WE'VE GOT TO BE CAREFUL
00:29:14.02\00:29:17.62
ABOUT THAT. ALRIGHT,
SO LET'S GO ON NOW TO
00:29:17.62\00:29:21.66
THE NEXT SECTION, WHICH IS
THE GREATNESS OF FORGIVENESS .
00:29:21.66\00:29:26.06
NOW, THERE'S A LOT MORE IN
MATTHEW 18, BUT WE'RE GOING TO
00:29:26.06\00:29:28.30
JUMP DOWN AND WE'RE GOING TO GO
TO A PARABLE - WELL, LET'S START
00:29:28.30\00:29:32.80
WITH VERSE 21. PETER
COMES TO HIM AND HE SAYS,
00:29:32.80\00:29:38.87
"LORD, HOW OFTEN
SHALL MY BROTHER SIN AGAINST
00:29:38.87\00:29:41.28
ME, AND I FORGIVE
HIM? UP TO SEVEN TIMES?"
00:29:41.28\00:29:46.31
NOW, HOW OFTEN
SHOULD YOU FORGIVE SOMEBODY?
00:29:46.31\00:29:51.65
HOW DID JESUS
ANSWER THAT QUESTION?
00:29:51.65\00:29:54.46
HE SAID, "I DO NOT SAY TO YOU,
UP TO SEVEN TIMES, BUT UP TO
00:29:54.46\00:29:58.29
SEVENTY TIMES SEVEN."
NOW, BEFORE WE GET TO THIS
00:29:58.29\00:30:01.93
PARABLE HERE IN MATTHEW CHAPTER
18, VERSE 21, HE SAYS SOMETHING
00:30:01.93\00:30:06.60
ELSE ABOUT FORGIVENESS IN
MATTHEW 18:15, "IF YOUR BROTHER
00:30:06.60\00:30:10.74
SINS AGAINST YOU, GO AND
TELL HIM HIS FAULT BETWEEN
00:30:10.74\00:30:14.04
YOU AND HIM ALONE."
THIS IS A PRINCIPLE FOR
00:30:14.04\00:30:15.64
RECONCILIATION
WITH RELATIONSHIPS.
00:30:15.64\00:30:18.45
"IF HE HEARS YOU,
YOU'VE GAINED YOUR BROTHER."
00:30:18.45\00:30:20.62
OF COURSE, IT'S BROTHER
OR SISTER, IT DOESN'T MATTER.
00:30:20.62\00:30:22.98
"BUT IF HE WILL NOT HEAR, TAKE
WITH YOU ONE OR TWO MORE, THAT
00:30:22.98\00:30:27.52
'BY THE MOUTH OF TWO OR THREE
WITNESSES EVERY WORD MAY BE
00:30:27.52\00:30:30.13
ESTABLISHED.'" - BECAUSE
SOMETIMES YOU'LL HAVE, 'WELL, HE
00:30:30.13\00:30:31.93
SAID/SHE SAID' AND YOU
SAY, 'NO, WE HAD WITNESSES.
00:30:31.93\00:30:34.00
WE KNOW EXACTLY WHAT WAS
SAID.' AND IF HE REFUSES TO HEAR
00:30:34.00\00:30:37.83
THEM, TELL IT TO THE CHURCH.
THAT WAS, YOU KNOW, THE SUPREME
00:30:37.83\00:30:42.40
COURT - THE HIGHEST COUNCIL.
BUT IF HE REFUSES TO HEAR THE
00:30:42.40\00:30:46.04
CHURCH, LET HIM BE TO YOU LIKE
A HEATHEN AND A TAX COLLECTOR."
00:30:46.04\00:30:50.11
THIS PERSON HAS A PROBLEM WITH
PRIDE - THEY WON'T FORGIVE - SO
00:30:50.11\00:30:52.35
YOU'VE GOT A BROTHER AND
A SISTER AND THEY'VE GOT A
00:30:52.35\00:30:55.15
DISPUTE. AND IN
THE CHURCH PARKING LOT
00:30:55.15\00:30:56.65
ONE OF THEM BACKS INTO THE OTHER
AND THE CHRISTIAN - I GUESS
00:30:56.65\00:31:03.83
THEY'RE BOTH SUPPOSED TO
BE CHRISTIANS, THEY'RE IN THE
00:31:03.83\00:31:05.33
CHURCH PARKING LOT. AND
ONE OF THEM WHOSE CAR WAS
00:31:05.33\00:31:09.06
HIT, HE GOES TO HIS BROTHER AND
HE SAID, 'YOU KNOW, YOU HIT MY
00:31:09.06\00:31:13.07
CAR. YOU DON'T MIND PAYING FOR
THE DAMAGES?' HE SAID, 'NO, IT
00:31:13.07\00:31:15.54
HAPPENED IN THE CHURCH.'
HE SAYS, 'I'M ABSOLVED HERE.
00:31:15.54\00:31:18.01
IF IT'S IN THE CHURCH
PARKING LOT. IT DOESN'T MATTER.'
00:31:18.01\00:31:20.14
'WAIT A SECOND. NO, I
THINK YOU'VE GOT TO HELP
00:31:20.14\00:31:21.64
COVER THE COST OF THIS.'
'OH, YOU'VE GOT INSURANCE.' AND
00:31:21.64\00:31:24.95
THERE'S A DISPUTE AND
HE WON'T LISTEN TO YOU.
00:31:24.95\00:31:28.35
FIRST, JUST TALK TO HIM AND THEN
SAY, 'LOOK, MAYBE I'LL TAKE AN
00:31:28.35\00:31:32.59
ELDER OR DEACON AND SAY,
'LOOK, YOU MADE THIS MISTAKE.
00:31:32.59\00:31:35.66
YOU NEED TO TAKE CARE OF IT.'
'NO, I DON'T HAVE TO.' - I'M
00:31:35.66\00:31:38.66
PICKING SOMETHING TRIVIAL,
YOU KNOW, BECAUSE SOME OF THESE
00:31:38.66\00:31:42.00
THINGS I COULD PICK AS
ILLUSTRATIONS WOULD BE PRETTY
00:31:42.00\00:31:43.93
SENSITIVE. YOU MIGHT
THINK I'M TALKING TO YOU.
00:31:43.93\00:31:48.50
AND SO - AND THEN YOU
TAKE IT TO A LARGER BODY.
00:31:48.50\00:31:51.94
SO FIRST - THE WHOLE IDEA IS
IF THERE'S A DISPUTE - WHATEVER
00:31:51.94\00:31:54.81
THAT DISPUTE IS - THAT YOU
TRY TO APPROACH THEM ONE ON ONE.
00:31:54.81\00:31:59.28
YOU DON'T WANT TO SPREAD IT IN
THE STREETS, YOU WANT TO TRY AND
00:31:59.28\00:32:02.72
PRIVATELY RESOLVE THE
PROBLEM. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?
00:32:02.72\00:32:06.42
GO TO THEM.
SOMETIMES PEOPLE JUST COMPLAIN
00:32:06.42\00:32:09.02
ABOUT WHAT
ANOTHER PERSON HAS DONE.
00:32:09.02\00:32:10.49
THEY DON'T COMPLAIN - THEY DON'T
EVER TRY TO RESOLVE IT, THEY
00:32:10.49\00:32:12.83
JUST WANT TO TELL
EVERYBODY THAT THEY'RE NO GOOD.
00:32:12.83\00:32:15.56
THAT'S NOT RIGHT. GO
TO THEM. BE RECONCILED.
00:32:15.56\00:32:17.80
WORK IT OUT. COMMUNICATE.
NINETY PERCENT OF THE PROBLEMS
00:32:17.80\00:32:21.44
THAT EXIST BETWEEN BRETHREN
COULD BE RESOLVED IF THEY TALK
00:32:21.44\00:32:25.21
TO EACH OTHER
HONESTLY, IN A LOVING SPIRIT.
00:32:25.21\00:32:30.51
AND THE WORD 'REBUKE' IN THE
BIBLE DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU'RE
00:32:30.51\00:32:33.98
HARD ON A PERSON, IT MEANS THAT
YOU CONFRONT THEM IN A LOVING,
00:32:33.98\00:32:37.15
CHRISTIAN WAY AND SAY, 'LOOK,
WE'VE GOT THIS PROBLEM WE NEED
00:32:37.15\00:32:39.39
TO ADDRESS.' IT DOESN'T
MEAN YOU HUMILIATE THEM.
00:32:39.39\00:32:42.69
AND IF THAT DOESN'T WORK, YOU
TAKE A WITNESS WITH YOU AND SAY,
00:32:42.69\00:32:47.03
'LOOK, WE NEED TO WORK THIS
OUT.' AND THEY TRY TO MEDIATE.
00:32:47.03\00:32:50.03
IF THAT DOESN'T WORK THEN YOU
MIGHT NEED TO BRING IT TO THE
00:32:50.03\00:32:52.77
LARGER AND FINAL ARBITRATION,
WHICH IS THE CHURCH.
00:32:52.77\00:32:56.44
AND SO, THIS IS THE WAY
THINGS OUGHT TO BE WORKED OUT.
00:32:56.44\00:32:59.31
SOMETIMES THERE'S A DISPUTE
BETWEEN PEOPLE AND SOMEONE PUTS
00:32:59.31\00:33:02.08
IT ONLINE AND THEY'VE NEVER
TRIED TO WORK IT OUT OR GO TO
00:33:02.08\00:33:04.35
THEM DIRECTLY AND THAT'S
NOT THE BIBLICAL WAY TO DO IT.
00:33:04.35\00:33:09.68
SO GOING BACK TO MATTHEW.
HOW OFTEN - MATTHEW 18, VERSE
00:33:09.68\00:33:14.29
21 - HOW OFTEN SHALL I FORGIVE?
JESUS SAID, "I DO NOT SAY TO
00:33:14.29\00:33:17.89
YOU, UP TO SEVEN TIMES,
BUT UP TO SEVENTY TIMES SEVEN."
00:33:17.89\00:33:21.50
WHY DID HE SAY
SEVENTY TIMES SEVEN?
00:33:21.50\00:33:25.67
WHAT DOES SEVEN
REPRESENT? >>THE PERFECT NUMBER.
00:33:25.67\00:33:30.57
>>SEVEN CAN OFTEN BE AN
ILLUSTRATION IN THE BIBLE OF
00:33:30.57\00:33:34.14
FORGIVENESS AND EVEN
FOR JUDGMENT, BUT OFTEN FOR
00:33:34.14\00:33:37.78
FORGIVENESS. FOR
EXAMPLE - NOW SOMEONE'S
00:33:37.78\00:33:40.02
GOING TO READ A VERSE FOR ME IN
A MINUTE. YOU'VE GOT EPHESIANS
00:33:40.02\00:33:43.28
4:32 - YOU'LL HAVE THAT?
OKAY, BUT FIRST I WANT TO READ -
00:33:43.28\00:33:48.36
IT SAYS "JESUS APPEARED FIRST
TO MARY MAGDALENE OUT OF WHOM
00:33:48.36\00:33:50.83
HE CAST SEVEN
DEVILS." SEVEN - FORGIVENESS.
00:33:50.83\00:33:56.56
PROVERBS 24:16, "A RIGHTEOUS MAN
MAY FALL SEVEN TIMES AND RISE
00:33:56.56\00:34:01.60
AGAIN, BUT THE WICKED
WILL FALL BY CALAMITY."
00:34:01.60\00:34:05.67
JOB 5:19, "HE WILL DELIVER YOU
IN SIX TROUBLES, YES, IN SEVEN
00:34:05.67\00:34:10.31
NO EVIL SHALL TOUCH
YOU." BUT STILL, JESUS SAID
00:34:10.31\00:34:13.21
SEVENTY TIMES SEVEN.
WHERE ELSE DO YOU FIND
00:34:13.21\00:34:16.12
70 TIMES 7 IN THE
BIBLE? >>DANIEL 9.
00:34:16.12\00:34:21.19
>>IT'S A PROPHECY IN DANIEL 9
- SEVENTY WEEKS ARE DETERMINED
00:34:21.19\00:34:25.79
UPON THY PEOPLE. WELL,
HOW MANY DAYS IN A WEEK?
00:34:25.79\00:34:29.90
>>SO YOU'VE GOT
SEVENTY TIMES SEVEN, RIGHT?
00:34:29.90\00:34:32.97
WHAT IS DANIEL PRAYING
ABOUT? HE'S WANTING TO KNOW WHEN
00:34:32.97\00:34:36.64
WILL THE MESSIAH COME.
HOW LONG WILL YOU CONTINUE TO
00:34:36.64\00:34:39.71
EXTEND MERCY TO YOUR STUBBORN
PEOPLE? AND SO IT'S EVEN - IT'S
00:34:39.71\00:34:44.05
TALKING ABOUT MERCY. HE
SAID, 'I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE
00:34:44.05\00:34:45.78
THEM SEVEN MORE YEARS OF MERCY,
I'M GOING TO GIVE THEM SEVENTY
00:34:45.78\00:34:48.18
TIMES SEVEN - FOUR HUNDRED
AND NINETY YEARS OF MERCY.'
00:34:48.18\00:34:51.22
AND THAT WENT UNTIL
THE STONING OF STEPHEN.
00:34:51.22\00:34:55.32
THAT WAS SORT OF THE LAST STRAW
WHEN GOD BEGAN TO WITHDRAW HIS
00:34:55.32\00:34:59.26
SPIRIT FROM THE NATION - NOT
FROM INDIVIDUALS, BECAUSE MANY
00:34:59.26\00:35:02.63
JEWS WERE STILL CONVERTED BEYOND
THAT, BUT PROBATION HAD SORT OF
00:35:02.63\00:35:05.77
CLOSED FOR THE
NATION AT THAT POINT.
00:35:05.77\00:35:08.14
AND WHEN THE SUPREME
COURT PLUGGED THEIR EARS AT THE
00:35:08.14\00:35:10.61
PREACHING OF STEPHEN - AND IT'S
INTERESTING, PAUL IS CONVERTED
00:35:10.61\00:35:13.88
AND BECOMES THE APOSTLE TO THE
GENTILES RIGHT AFTER THAT EVENT.
00:35:13.88\00:35:19.15
SO IT WAS SORT
OF A TURNING POINT.
00:35:19.15\00:35:21.08
BUT SEVENTY TIMES SEVEN -
CHRIST IS POINT BACK TO THAT.
00:35:21.08\00:35:24.89
NOW, HOW ARE WE TO
FORGIVE EACH OTHER?
00:35:24.89\00:35:29.19
GOD IS ASKING US TO DO
SOMETHING SUPERNATURAL.
00:35:29.19\00:35:32.03
GO AHEAD, READ
FOR US EPHESIANS 4:32.
00:35:32.03\00:35:35.33
>>"AND BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER,
TENDERHEARTED, FORGIVING ONE
00:35:35.33\00:35:39.50
ANOTHER EVEN AS
CHRIST FORGAVE YOU."
00:35:39.50\00:35:43.24
>>HOW ARE WE TO FORGIVE EACH
OTHER? AS CHRIST FORGAVE US.
00:35:43.24\00:35:48.91
NOW THAT'S A PRETTY BIG ORDER
BUT LET ME READ IT TO YOU AGAIN
00:35:48.91\00:35:51.45
- ANOTHER VERSE - COLOSSIANS
3:12 - "THEREFORE, AS THE ELECT
00:35:51.45\00:35:55.85
OF GOD, HOLY AND BELOVED,
PUT ON TENDER MERCIES, KINDNESS,
00:35:55.85\00:36:01.42
HUMILITY, MEEKNESS,
LONGSUFFERING, BEARING WITH ONE
00:36:01.42\00:36:05.89
ANOTHER, FORGIVING ONE ANOTHER.
IF ANY HAS A COMPLAINT AGAINST
00:36:05.89\00:36:10.40
ANOTHER, EVEN AS CHRIST
FORGAVE YOU, SO YOU MUST DO."
00:36:10.40\00:36:16.37
NOW, IT DOES SAY, YOU KNOW, IF
YOUR BROTHER COMES TO YOU IN A
00:36:16.37\00:36:18.91
DAY AND SAYS 'I
REPENT' YOU SHOULD FORGIVE HIM.
00:36:18.91\00:36:22.14
AND WE SHOULD FORGIVE AS
JESUS FORGAVE. IS THAT EASY?
00:36:22.14\00:36:26.18
HOW MANY OF YOU WOULD FIND IT
EASY TO PRAY, 'FATHER, FORGIVE
00:36:26.18\00:36:29.38
THEM' IF SOMEONE
WAS CRUCIFYING YOU?
00:36:29.38\00:36:32.95
OR TO PRAY FOR EVEN THE
RELIGIOUS LEADERS WHO SHOULD
00:36:32.95\00:36:35.59
HAVE KNOWN BETTER? I
MEAN, YOU KNOW, THE ROMAN
00:36:35.59\00:36:37.26
SOLDIERS CARRYING OUT ORDERS,
THEY DIDN'T REALLY KNOW WHAT WAS
00:36:37.26\00:36:39.86
GOING ON, BUT WHEN JESUS
SAID, 'FATHER, FORGIVE THEM.
00:36:39.86\00:36:43.43
THEY KNOW NOT WHAT
THEY DO.' THAT'D BE HARD.
00:36:43.43\00:36:48.44
YOU KNOW WHAT MAKES IT
EASIER FOR ME TO FORGIVE?
00:36:48.44\00:36:52.57
I MEAN, I'M JUST ASSUMING THAT
YOU'RE LIKE I AM AND THAT YOU
00:36:52.57\00:36:57.21
HAVE BEEN HURT OR YOU FELT LIKE
SOMEBODY MISTREATED YOU OR TOOK
00:36:57.21\00:37:00.98
ADVANTAGE OF YOU OR JUST WAS NOT
APPRECIATIVE OR WHATEVER IT IS
00:37:00.98\00:37:04.05
THAT YOU'RE OFFENDED, AND
INSTEAD OF DWELLING ON IT OR
00:37:04.05\00:37:07.79
LETTING IT BOTHER YOU, IT HELPS
ME TO REMEMBER IT IS NORMAL FOR
00:37:07.79\00:37:12.69
SINNERS TO BE SELFISH.
THIS IS TO BE EXPECTED.
00:37:12.69\00:37:18.60
YOU ARE EITHER GOING TO BEHAVE
LIKE JESUS AND, IF YOU'RE NOT
00:37:18.60\00:37:21.44
THOROUGHLY CONVERTED, YOU'RE
GOING TO BEHAVE LIKE THE DEVIL.
00:37:21.44\00:37:24.54
AND THE DEVIL IS SELFISH.
JESUS CAME TO SAVE DEVILS.
00:37:24.54\00:37:31.95
WHAT I MEAN BY THAT
- NOT FALLEN ANGELS.
00:37:31.95\00:37:33.95
JESUS CAME TO SAVE PEOPLE
WHO ARE CAPTIVE OF THE DEVIL AND
00:37:33.95\00:37:39.59
THEY ACT IN DIABOLICAL
WAYS. I WAS JUST LISTENING THIS
00:37:39.59\00:37:44.63
MORNING, ON MY WAY TO CHURCH,
TO THE CONVERSION OF PAUL.
00:37:44.63\00:37:48.56
AND HERE HE IS, PARTICIPATING
IN THE MURDER OF STEPHEN AND
00:37:48.56\00:37:53.20
STEPHEN IS PRAYING, 'FATHER, LAY
NOT THAT SIN TO THEIR CHARGE.'
00:37:53.20\00:37:58.17
STEPHEN - IS STEPHEN GOING TO BE
HAPPY WHEN HE GETS TO HEAVEN AND
00:37:58.17\00:38:00.64
SEES PAUL THERE? >>YES.
00:38:00.64\00:38:02.94
>>THE LAST GLIMPSE THAT STEPHEN
HAD OF SAUL/PAUL - SAME PERSON -
00:38:02.94\00:38:08.12
IS HE'S PARTICIPATING IN HIS
EXECUTION AND HE PRAYED FOR HIM
00:38:08.12\00:38:15.66
AND GOD ANSWERED HIS
PRAYER AFTER HE WAS GONE.
00:38:15.66\00:38:17.56
BY THE WAY, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO
ARE PARENTS, GOD OFTEN ANSWERS
00:38:17.56\00:38:19.53
PRAYERS THAT ARE
STORED UP, AFTER YOU'RE GONE.
00:38:19.53\00:38:23.87
AND SO, WHEN YOU ARE FORGIVING
THOSE WHO MISTREAT YOU - YOU
00:38:23.87\00:38:29.10
HAVE TO ASK
YOURSELF - 'THEY'VE HURT ME.
00:38:29.10\00:38:31.47
I KIND OF WANT SOMETHING BAD
TO HAPPEN TO THEM.' AND YOU'LL
00:38:31.47\00:38:34.18
ACTUALLY FIND PSALMS IN THE
BIBLE, IF YOU LOOK FOR THEM,
00:38:34.18\00:38:37.01
WHERE DAVID PRAYS FOR
VENGEANCE ON HIS ENEMIES.
00:38:37.01\00:38:39.78
SO IF YOU WANT TO PRAY THOSE,
THAT'S OKAY. IT'S NOT THE RIGHT
00:38:39.78\00:38:42.88
SPIRIT, I THINK. WE'RE
SUPPOSED TO PRAY THAT GOD
00:38:42.88\00:38:46.52
BLESS - DIDN'T JESUS SAY
'BLESS THOSE WHO PERSECUTE YOU.
00:38:46.52\00:38:49.99
PRAY FOR THOSE WHO DESPITEFULLY
USE YOU.' IT'S NORMAL TO PRAY
00:38:49.99\00:38:54.13
FOR BAD THINGS TO HAPPEN TO
THOSE WHO DO BAD THINGS TO YOU,
00:38:54.13\00:38:57.03
BUT IF YOU WANT TO BE
SUPERNATURAL CHILDREN OF GOD,
00:38:57.03\00:39:00.24
PRAY FOR THOSE
WHO PERSECUTE YOU.
00:39:00.24\00:39:03.27
AND HE SAYS, 'REJOICE, WHEN
YOU'RE PERSECUTED FOR RIGHT.'
00:39:03.27\00:39:06.64
THAT'S SO ODD. IT'S
SO AGAINST OUR NATURE.
00:39:06.64\00:39:10.28
YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE WAYS THAT
YOU CAN GET OVER ANGER AGAINST
00:39:10.28\00:39:13.15
THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN UNKIND
TO YOU OR PERSECUTED YOU OR - IS
00:39:13.15\00:39:17.52
PRAY FOR THEM. NOW,
I'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS
00:39:17.52\00:39:20.99
BEFORE AND I'VE HAD PEOPLE COME
UP TO ME AFTER THE SERVICE AND
00:39:20.99\00:39:23.53
THEY SAID, 'PASTOR DOUG,
YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS.' I SAY,
00:39:23.53\00:39:26.36
'WELL, WHAT DO YOU MEAN?'
'THERE'S NO WAY IN THE WORLD.
00:39:26.36\00:39:28.30
I WAS SEXUALLY ABUSED
BY A RELATIVE FOR YEARS.
00:39:28.30\00:39:33.00
YOU WANT ME TO PRAY FOR THEM?'
I SAID, 'YEAH.' I SAID, 'IT'S
00:39:33.00\00:39:37.57
NOT SOMETHING I'M
TELLING YOU TO DO.
00:39:37.57\00:39:39.64
IT'S SOMETHING GOD IS TELLING
YOU TO DO.' 'I CAN'T DO THAT.' I
00:39:39.64\00:39:43.38
SAID, 'NO, I KNOW YOU CAN'T, BUT
IF YOU ASK FOR CHRIST TO COME IN
00:39:43.38\00:39:47.82
YOU AND YOU SAY YOU ARE WILLING
TO LOOK AT THAT PERSON THROUGH
00:39:47.82\00:39:50.32
JESUS' EYES.' DO YOU KNOW
YOU MAY GET TO HEAVEN AND FIND A
00:39:50.32\00:39:54.29
PERSON NAMED MANASSEH? MANASSEH
OFFERED HIS CHILDREN TO PAGAN
00:39:54.29\00:40:00.33
GODS AND MADE THEM PASS THROUGH
THE FIRE. HOW COULD ANYONE LIKE
00:40:00.33\00:40:05.00
THAT BE FORGIVEN? I
MEAN, THERE'S SCARCELY A SIN
00:40:05.00\00:40:09.67
YOU CAN NAME, OTHER THAN
THE UNPARDONABLE SIN, THAT GOD
00:40:09.67\00:40:14.84
DOESN'T FORGIVE IN THE
BIBLE. TREACHERY IS FORGIVEN.
00:40:14.84\00:40:19.48
IT'S PRETTY TREACHEROUS FOR
DAVID TO TELL URIAH TO GO TO THE
00:40:19.48\00:40:25.35
FRONT OF THE WORST BATTLE AND
THEN HAVE THE SUPPORT WITHDRAWN
00:40:25.35\00:40:28.59
SO HE'S KILLED - AND HE
WAS A LOYAL SOLDIER. THAT'S A
00:40:28.59\00:40:32.03
TREACHEROUS THING TO DO.
ADULTERY - SAME STORY - WITH
00:40:32.03\00:40:36.20
BATHSHEBA. MURDER - MOSES
AND DAVID. YEAH, DAVID HAD
00:40:36.20\00:40:40.97
TREACHERY, ADULTERY,
MURDER - AND GOD FORGAVE HIM.
00:40:40.97\00:40:44.51
DENYING CHRIST, LIKE PETER - AND
YOU CAN GO THROUGH A LITANY OF
00:40:44.51\00:40:50.05
DIFFERENT CHARACTERS IN
THE BIBLE AND YOU'LL FIND GOD
00:40:50.05\00:40:52.78
FORGIVES ALL KINDS OF THINGS.
LOOK AT WHAT PAUL SAYS IN - IS
00:40:52.78\00:40:56.92
IT 2 CORINTHIANS? HE SAYS,
'SOME OF YOU WERE DRUNKARDS AND
00:40:56.92\00:41:00.32
ADULTERERS AND HOMOSEXUALS AND
THIEVES - AND HE GOES THROUGH
00:41:00.32\00:41:03.86
ALL THE TERRIBLE, DESPICABLE
SINS THAT YOU CAN THINK OF AND
00:41:03.86\00:41:06.90
HE SAYS, 'BUT GOD FORGAVE YOU.'
AND THEN THE LORD SAYS, 'AS GOD
00:41:06.90\00:41:11.63
HAS FORGIVEN YOU, SO YOU SHOULD
FORGIVE EACH OTHER. BECAUSE WHEN
00:41:11.63\00:41:16.00
A PERSON IS
FORGIVEN, ARE THEY BORN AGAIN?
00:41:16.00\00:41:20.18
IF A PERSON ACCEPTS
CHRIST ARE THEY BORN AGAIN?
00:41:20.18\00:41:22.14
>>YES. >>ARE THEY
A DIFFERENT PERSON?
00:41:22.14\00:41:24.98
OLD THINGS HAVE PASSED AWAY,
HOW MANY THINGS ARE MADE NEW?
00:41:24.98\00:41:27.65
>>ALL. >>SO IT'S
NOT LIKE YOU HAVE TO
00:41:27.65\00:41:29.95
FORGIVE THAT OLD PERSON,
THEY'RE A NEW PERSON NOW.
00:41:29.95\00:41:34.26
SO BY YOUR PRAYING FOR YOUR
ENEMIES, YOU CAN TRANSFORM THEM
00:41:34.26\00:41:37.39
SO THAT THEY'RE NOT YOUR ENEMIES
ANYMORE, THEY'RE A DIFFERENT
00:41:37.39\00:41:39.26
PERSON. I KNOW,
IT'S GETTING KIND OF
00:41:39.26\00:41:43.60
DEEP BECAUSE YOU THINK
SOME PEOPLE ARE BEYOND MERCY.
00:41:43.60\00:41:48.14
GOD IS THE ONE WHO NEEDS TO
DECIDE THAT. YOU AND I CAN'T
00:41:48.14\00:41:52.54
READ PEOPLE'S HEARTS SO, AS
FAR AS POSSIBLE, WE FORGIVE.
00:41:52.54\00:41:55.74
NOW, WHEN I TALK ABOUT
FORGIVENESS, JESUS SHARES THIS
00:41:55.74\00:41:58.65
PARABLE WHERE SOMEONE OWES
TEN THOUSAND TALENTS - THIS
00:41:58.65\00:42:03.82
UNMERCIFUL SERVANT.
THE KING FORGIVES HIM.
00:42:03.82\00:42:07.12
HE GOES AND HE FINDS A FELLOW
SERVANT THAT OWES HIM, YOU KNOW,
00:42:07.12\00:42:10.83
FORTY TALENTS - TAKES HIM BY
THE THROAT, PUTS HIM IN PRISON,
00:42:10.83\00:42:15.76
HAS HIM TORMENTED FOR JUST
A HANDFUL, WHERE HERE, HE WAS
00:42:15.76\00:42:19.63
FORGIVEN THIS MASSIVE AMOUNT.
BUT GOD FORGAVE - GOD FORGIVES
00:42:19.63\00:42:26.41
THIS GUY 10,000 TALENTS.
YOU KNOW, IN TODAY'S MONEY,
00:42:26.41\00:42:31.01
10,000 TALENTS
IS A MASSIVE AMOUNT.
00:42:31.01\00:42:34.08
IT'S JUST A MOUNTAIN - IT'S LIKE
50 MILLION DOLLARS OR SOMETHING.
00:42:34.08\00:42:39.09
AND HE WOULD NOT FORGIVE TWO
WEEK'S WAGES TO SOMEBODY ELSE.
00:42:39.09\00:42:42.52
SOMEONE PUT IT THIS WAY, 'GOD IS
WILLING TO FORGIVE YOU AND I THE
00:42:42.52\00:42:46.43
DISTANCE BETWEEN THE EARTH AND
THE SUN - 93 MILLION MILES - BUT
00:42:46.43\00:42:50.33
WE SOMETIMES WILL NOT FORGIVE
EACH OTHER ARM'S LENGTHS.
00:42:50.33\00:42:55.20
THIS IS A COMPARISON THAT'S MADE
BETWEEN HOW MUCH GOD FORGIVES
00:42:55.20\00:42:58.84
YOU. NOW IS GOD SAYING, 'YOU
GO OUT AND FORGIVE EVERYBODY AND
00:42:58.84\00:43:03.11
THEN I'LL FORGIVE YOU'? NO?
SEE IN THAT PARABLE - YOU GO TO
00:43:03.11\00:43:07.28
THE END OF MATTHEW
18 - AND IT SAYS, 'SO
00:43:07.28\00:43:11.62
WHEN HIS FELLOW SERVANTS SAW
WHAT THIS UNMERCIFUL SERVANT HAD
00:43:11.62\00:43:15.32
DONE, THEY WERE GRIEVED AND THEY
CAME AND TOLD THEIR MASTER AND
00:43:15.32\00:43:19.29
THE MASTER CALLED HIM AND SAID,
'YOU WICKED SERVANT, I FORGAVE
00:43:19.29\00:43:22.13
YOU ALL THAT DEBT BECAUSE YOU
ASKED ME. SHOULDN'T YOU HAVE HAD
00:43:22.13\00:43:26.27
COMPASSION ON YOUR FELLOW
SERVANT AS I HAD PITY ON YOU?'
00:43:26.27\00:43:29.74
HOW DOES GOD WANT US TO FORGIVE?
'AS I HAD PITY ON YOU.' 'AND THE
00:43:29.74\00:43:33.48
MASTER WAS ANGRY AND DELIVERED
HIM TO THE TORMENTERS - THE
00:43:33.48\00:43:36.88
TORTURERS - UNTIL HE
SHOULD PAY ALL THAT WAS DUE HIM.
00:43:36.88\00:43:40.72
SO MY HEAVENLY FATHER ALSO WILL
DO TO YOU IF EACH OF YOU, FROM
00:43:40.72\00:43:44.92
HIS HEART, DOES NOT FORGIVE
HIS BROTHER HIS TRESPASSES.' YOU
00:43:44.92\00:43:49.96
KNOW, THE LORD MAKES ONE COMMENT
ON THE LORD'S PRAYER - WHEN YOU
00:43:49.96\00:43:52.86
PRAY THE LORD'S PRAYER - IT
SAYS, 'FORGIVE US OUR DEBTS AS
00:43:52.86\00:43:55.83
WE FORGIVE OUR DEBTORS' AND THEN
YOU GET TO THE END OF THE LORD'S
00:43:55.83\00:43:58.00
PRAYER, JESUS GOES BACK
AND HE MAKES ONE COMMENT.
00:43:58.00\00:44:00.50
THE ONE COMMENT JESUS MAKES ON
THE LORD'S PRAYER IS 'IF YOU DO
00:44:00.50\00:44:04.47
NOT FORGIVE EACH MAN HIS BROTHER
HIS TRESPASSES, NEITHER WILL
00:44:04.47\00:44:08.84
YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN
FORGIVE YOU.' NOW THIS IS VERY
00:44:08.84\00:44:11.75
IMPORTANT. IS THE
LORD SAYING, 'YOU GO OUT
00:44:11.75\00:44:16.25
AND FORGIVE EVERYBODY, COME TO
ME AND THEN I'LL FORGIVE YOU'?
00:44:16.25\00:44:18.89
OR IS THE LORD
SAYING, 'COME TO ME.
00:44:18.89\00:44:21.69
I WILL FORGIVE YOU AND THEN
AFTER I FORGIVE YOU, PASS THAT
00:44:21.69\00:44:24.93
FORGIVENESS ON.' IN THE PARABLE,
WHO DOES THE FIRST FORGIVING?
00:44:24.93\00:44:31.00
>>KING. >>THE KING.
00:44:31.00\00:44:32.93
THIS MAN WHO OWES TEN THOUSAND
TALENTS COMES TO THE KING AND HE
00:44:32.93\00:44:37.07
FORGIVES HIM. AND THEN HE SAYS,
'NOW, AS I'VE FORGIVEN YOU, YOU
00:44:37.07\00:44:42.44
GO FORGIVE OTHERS.
THAT'S NOT ALWAYS EASY AND
00:44:42.44\00:44:45.98
SOMETIMES YOU
JUST NEED TO CONFESS TO
00:44:45.98\00:44:47.62
THE LORD, 'I DON'T
FEEL LIKE FORGIVING THEM.
00:44:47.62\00:44:50.05
I DON'T LIKE THEM VERY MUCH.
IN MY HEART I KIND OF WISH BAD
00:44:50.05\00:44:52.69
THINGS WOULD HAPPEN TO THEM.
BUT YOU'VE TOLD ME TO LOVE AND
00:44:52.69\00:44:57.09
FORGIVE THEM AND I'M
GOING TO CHOOSE TO FORGIVE THEM.
00:44:57.09\00:45:00.33
HOW DO YOU KEEP THE
MEMORIES FROM COMING BACK?
00:45:00.33\00:45:02.73
THE LORD DOESN'T SAY
THEY WON'T COME BACK.
00:45:02.73\00:45:05.07
NOW GOD TAKES OUR SINS AND CASTS
THEM IN THE DEPTHS OF THE SEA
00:45:05.07\00:45:08.80
AND GOD HAS MORE
SELF-CONTROL THAN WE DO.
00:45:08.80\00:45:11.14
HE DOESN'T THINK ABOUT
THEM. BUT YOU AND I, WE STILL
00:45:11.14\00:45:14.94
HAVE PAINFUL MEMORIES.
SO AFTER YOU HAVE FORGIVEN A
00:45:14.94\00:45:16.88
PERSON, IF YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT
THEY'VE DONE, DOES THAT MEAN
00:45:16.88\00:45:22.28
YOU HAVEN'T FORGIVEN THEM?
NO, JUST DON'T DWELL ON IT.
00:45:22.28\00:45:27.09
IT'S LIKE THAT OLD EXPRESSION:
'YOU CAN'T KEEP THE BIRDS FROM
00:45:27.09\00:45:31.56
FLYING OVER YOUR HEAD, BUT YOU
CAN PREVENT THEM FROM MAKING A
00:45:31.56\00:45:34.86
NEST IN YOUR HAIR. YOU
MIGHT HAVE A FLEETING MEMORY
00:45:34.86\00:45:38.20
OF WHAT THIS PERSON DID TO YOU
BUT CHOOSE TO FORGET ABOUT IT.
00:45:38.20\00:45:41.84
FORGIVE THEM AND DON'T KEEP
REMINDING THEM THAT YOU FORGAVE
00:45:41.84\00:45:45.17
THEM BECAUSE THAT'S ANOTHER
WAY OF NOT FORGETTING ABOUT IT.
00:45:45.17\00:45:49.04
YOU EVER HAVE
ANYONE DO YOU A FAVOR?
00:45:49.04\00:45:50.35
IT'S LIKE YOU OWE THEM SOME
MONEY AND THEY FORGIVE YOU AND
00:45:50.35\00:45:52.01
THEY KEEP REMINDING
YOU THAT THEY FORGAVE YOU.
00:45:52.01\00:45:54.78
AND PRETTY SOON
IT TAKES IT AWAY.
00:45:54.78\00:46:00.29
AS FAR AS
POSSIBLE, FORGIVE AND FORGET.
00:46:00.29\00:46:04.99
THAT MEANS THAT YOU NEED TO
CHOOSE TO FORGET ON AN ONGOING
00:46:04.99\00:46:07.76
BASIS. YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?
00:46:07.76\00:46:11.57
YOU KNOW WHERE THIS IS REALLY
DIFFICULT IS IF YOU'VE GOT A
00:46:11.57\00:46:14.50
MARRIAGE AND SOMEBODY IN
THAT MARRIAGE IS UNFAITHFUL.
00:46:14.50\00:46:19.91
NOW, UNFAITHFULNESS CAN TAKE
ON A LOT OF DIFFERENT FORMS.
00:46:19.91\00:46:22.88
IT DOESN'T JUST MEAN, BUT
IT CERTAINLY WOULD INCLUDE
00:46:22.88\00:46:25.01
INFIDELITY WITH ANOTHER PERSON.
SOMETIMES IT CAN MEAN MAYBE THEY
00:46:25.01\00:46:30.49
WERE SQUANDERING MONEY OR
DOING SOMETHING ELSE SO THERE'S
00:46:30.49\00:46:33.05
A REAL LACK OF TRUST.
THERE'S A BETRAYAL IN THE
00:46:33.05\00:46:35.69
WAY THE MONEY'S BEING SPENT.
OR THERE'S LYING THAT'S GOING
00:46:35.69\00:46:38.39
ON OR JUST - WHATEVER IT IS.
SOMETIMES THERE'S ARGUMENTS IN
00:46:38.39\00:46:41.46
MARRIAGE AND TERRIBLE CUTTING
THINGS ARE SAID IN THE HEAT
00:46:41.46\00:46:44.13
OF ANGER AND THE PERSON
SAYS, FINALLY, 'OKAY, WE'RE
00:46:44.13\00:46:47.80
GOING TO
COUNSELING. I FORGIVE YOU.
00:46:47.80\00:46:49.24
I FORGIVE YOU.' BUT
THEY KEEP THINKING ABOUT IT.
00:46:49.24\00:46:53.01
YOU MIGHT NEED TO GO TO THE LORD
AND SAY, 'LORD, I REMEMBER, NOW,
00:46:53.01\00:46:57.58
AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS, HOW
MUCH YOU FORGAVE ME.' YOU HAVE
00:46:57.58\00:47:00.82
NO RIGHT TO KEEP THINKING ABOUT
THIS BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING
00:47:00.82\00:47:04.55
THAT ANYONE HAS DONE TO YOU THAT
WOULD MAKE YOUR SIN AGAINST GOD
00:47:04.55\00:47:10.39
LESS SIGNIFICANT.
DID THAT MAKE SENSE?
00:47:10.39\00:47:13.80
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?
COMPARED TO WHAT ANYBODY HAS
00:47:13.80\00:47:16.50
DONE TO YOU, WHAT WE HAVE DONE
TO JESUS - GO TO THE CROSS AND
00:47:16.50\00:47:20.97
LOOK AT WHAT HE SUFFERED FOR US
- IS PRETTY SMALL BY COMPARISON.
00:47:20.97\00:47:25.31
AND SO, THAT, SOMETIMES, MAKES
IT EASIER TO SAY, 'LORD, HELP ME
00:47:25.31\00:47:28.84
TO JUST FORGIVE THIS PERSON AND
TO LOOK AT THEM THE WAY YOU DO
00:47:28.84\00:47:33.62
AND TO LOVE THEM
AND FORGIVE THEM.
00:47:33.62\00:47:35.22
ALRIGHT, JESUS - YOU KNOW,
IN THE FOUR GOSPELS, JESUS SAYS
00:47:35.22\00:47:38.49
MORE ABOUT FORGIVENESS IN
MATTHEW THAN ANY OTHER BOOK.
00:47:38.49\00:47:41.72
IT SAYS MORE ABOUT
RELATIONSHIPS IN MATTHEW.
00:47:41.72\00:47:44.09
AND I WONDER IF IT'S BECAUSE
MATTHEW WAS A TAX COLLECTOR AND
00:47:44.09\00:47:47.76
THE OTHER APOSTLES MAYBE
HAD TROUBLE TRUSTING HIM.
00:47:47.76\00:47:51.87
BUT ANYWAY, HE
ADDRESSES THAT QUITE A BIT.
00:47:51.87\00:47:55.84
ALRIGHT, LET'S GO
TO IDOLS OF THE SOUL.
00:47:55.84\00:47:58.51
AND THIS - NOW WE'RE
JUMPING OVER TO MATTHEW 18.
00:47:58.51\00:48:00.44
THAT PARABLE IN MATTHEW
18 GOES TO THE END - TO 19.
00:48:00.44\00:48:04.61
NOW WE'RE GOING TO LOOK IN
MATTHEW 19 AND YOU'VE GOT THE
00:48:04.61\00:48:06.65
STORY OF THE RICH YOUNG RULER.
AND IT SAYS THAT OH, LET ME SEE
00:48:06.65\00:48:13.69
HERE, LET'S GO TO - HE BLESSES
THE LITTLE CHILDREN - TALKING,
00:48:13.69\00:48:18.19
AGAIN, ABOUT JESUS' LOVE FOR THE
CHILDREN, PUTS HIS HAND ON THEM
00:48:18.19\00:48:21.26
- HE PRAYS FOR THEM - AND
A YOUNG MAN IS WATCHING THIS.
00:48:21.26\00:48:26.20
AND, AS JESUS WALKED
AWAY, HIS HEART IS STIRRED.
00:48:26.20\00:48:28.10
HE WAS A GOOD MAN, BUT HE
KNEW SOMETHING WAS MISSING.
00:48:28.10\00:48:31.31
THIS IS MATTHEW 19:16, "NOW
BEHOLD, ONE CAME AND SAID TO
00:48:31.31\00:48:36.04
HIM, 'GOOD TEACHER, WHAT GOOD
THING SHALL I DO THAT I MAY HAVE
00:48:36.04\00:48:40.02
ETERNAL LIFE?' SO HE SAID TO
HIM, 'WHY DO YOU CALL ME GOOD?
00:48:40.02\00:48:43.45
NO ONE IS GOOD BUT ONE, THAT IS,
GOD.'" - NOW, WHY DID JESUS SAY
00:48:43.45\00:48:46.69
THAT? 'WHY DO YOU CALL ME GOOD?'
00:48:46.69\00:48:48.79
IS THAT BECAUSE
JESUS WASN'T GOOD?
00:48:48.79\00:48:50.66
WAS HE TRYING TO GET THIS YOUNG
MAN TO SEE JESUS WAS NOT JUST
00:48:50.66\00:48:54.66
GOOD, HE WAS GOD? NO
ONE IS TRULY GOOD BUT GOD.
00:48:54.66\00:48:58.93
"BUT IF YOU WANT TO ENTER INTO
LIFE, KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS."
00:48:58.93\00:49:02.70
THAT ALWAYS AMAZES ME.
PEOPLE THINK THAT IN THE NEW
00:49:02.70\00:49:07.61
TESTAMENT JESUS THREW
OUT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:49:07.61\00:49:11.18
YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES IN
THE NEW TESTAMENT THAT JESUS
00:49:11.18\00:49:13.75
RATIFIES AND
REINFORCES THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?
00:49:13.75\00:49:17.02
HE SAID, 'KEEP THE
COMMANDMENTS.' AND THIS MAN GOES
00:49:17.02\00:49:19.92
ON - AND HE'S VERY CLEAR
- VERSE 18 - "WHICH ONES?"
00:49:19.92\00:49:22.96
WHY DID HE SAY, 'WHICH
ONES'? BECAUSE THERE WERE A
00:49:22.96\00:49:24.99
LOT OF JEWISH LAWS. THEY
HAD CEREMONIAL LAWS - THEY
00:49:24.99\00:49:27.50
HAD TORAH - THERE WERE CIVIL
LAWS, THERE WERE RABBINICAL LAWS
00:49:27.50\00:49:30.80
- AND JESUS GETS RIGHT TO
THE CORE AND HE STARTS TO QUOTE
00:49:30.80\00:49:33.40
FROM THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
CHRIST IS PRINCIPALLY QUOTING
00:49:33.40\00:49:36.84
FROM THE SECOND
TABLE OF THE DECALOGUE.
00:49:36.84\00:49:40.64
'YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT MURDER,'
'YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY,'
00:49:40.64\00:49:43.71
'YOU SHALL NOT STEAL,' 'YOU
SHALL NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS,'
00:49:43.71\00:49:47.18
'HONOR YOUR FATHER AND YOUR
MOTHER,' 'LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS
00:49:47.18\00:49:50.45
YOURSELF.' - THAT'S INTERESTING.
WHY DIDN'T HE QUOTE ANYTHING
00:49:50.45\00:49:54.32
FROM THE FIRST
FOUR COMMANDMENTS?
00:49:54.32\00:49:57.33
BECAUSE THIS MAN HAD ANOTHER GOD
THAT ECLIPSED THE OTHER PROBLEM.
00:49:57.33\00:50:04.17
AND HE SAYS, 'LORD, MASTER, I'VE
KEPT ALL THESE FROM MY YOUTH.'
00:50:04.17\00:50:08.47
AND HE PROBABLY WAS A
MORAL UPSTANDING YOUNG MAN.
00:50:08.47\00:50:12.41
AND IF YOU LOOK IN THE GOSPEL OF
MARK IT SAYS, 'JESUS, LOOKING AT
00:50:12.41\00:50:15.98
HIM, LOVED HIM.' AND HE SAID,
"'IF YOU WANT TO BE PERFECT, GO,
00:50:15.98\00:50:21.52
SELL WHAT YOU HAVE AND GIVE
TO THE POOR, AND YOU WILL HAVE
00:50:21.52\00:50:24.62
TREASURE IN HEAVEN; AND COME,
FOLLOW ME.' BUT WHEN THE YOUNG
00:50:24.62\00:50:29.82
MAN HEARD THAT SAYING, HE WENT
AWAY SORROWFUL, FOR HE HAD GREAT
00:50:29.82\00:50:33.29
POSSESSIONS." NOW,
WAS JESUS SAYING THIS MAN
00:50:33.29\00:50:37.17
WAS ALMOST PERFECT AND ALL HE
NEEDED TO DO WAS MAKE ONE FINAL
00:50:37.17\00:50:40.54
DONATION AND HE WILL
HAVE ARRIVED AT PERFECTION?
00:50:40.54\00:50:43.51
OR WAS HE SAYING THAT HE REALLY
WAS SINCERE, BUT HE HAD ONE
00:50:43.51\00:50:46.88
THING THAT WAS COMING BETWEEN
HIM AND GOD AND THAT WAS HIS
00:50:46.88\00:50:48.88
MONEY. HIS MONEY WAS A GOD.
00:50:48.88\00:50:51.41
IT HAD BECOME HIS
TREASURE. IT HAD BECOME AN IDOL.
00:50:51.41\00:50:54.25
THESE ARE SOME OF THE IDOLS OF
THE SOUL THE LESSON TALKS ABOUT.
00:50:54.25\00:50:57.92
AND IT SAYS, 'WHEN HE HEARD
THIS, HE WAS SAD AND HE WENT
00:50:57.92\00:51:02.72
AWAY SORROWFUL, FOR HE HAD GREAT
POSSESSIONS.' IT ALWAYS STRIKES
00:51:02.72\00:51:06.23
ME AS STRANGE. JESUS SAYS,
'FOLLOW ME. YOU'LL HAVE TREASURE
00:51:06.23\00:51:08.80
IN HEAVEN.' THAT WOULD MAKE YOU
HAPPY. BUT, INSTEAD, HE SAID, 'I
00:51:08.80\00:51:11.47
WANT TREASURE ON
EARTH' AND HE WENT AWAY SAD.
00:51:11.47\00:51:13.57
DOES THE EARTHLY TREASURE
BRING LASTING HAPPINESS?
00:51:13.57\00:51:17.47
HE STILL HAD HIS EARTHLY
TREASURE, BUT HE KNEW IT WAS
00:51:17.47\00:51:19.81
TEMPORARY BECAUSE HE DIDN'T HAVE
HEAVENLY TREASURE, SO HE WENT
00:51:19.81\00:51:22.38
AWAY SAD. "THEN
JESUS SAID TO HIS
00:51:22.38\00:51:26.31
DISCIPLES, 'ASSUREDLY I SAY TO
YOU THAT IT IS HARD FOR A RICH
00:51:26.31\00:51:29.92
MAN TO ENTER THE
KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
00:51:29.92\00:51:32.92
AND AGAIN I SAY TO YOU, IT IS
EASIER FOR A CAMEL TO GO THROUGH
00:51:32.92\00:51:36.16
THE EYE OF A NEEDLE THAN FOR A
RICH MAN TO ENTER THE KINGDOM OF
00:51:36.16\00:51:39.66
GOD.' WHEN HIS DISCIPLES
HEARD IT, THEY WERE GREATLY
00:51:39.66\00:51:44.20
ASTONISHED, SAYING,
'WHO THEN CAN BE SAVED?'"
00:51:44.20\00:51:48.10
NOW THE REASON THEY SAID
THIS - THEY'RE ASTONISHED - IS
00:51:48.10\00:51:51.57
BECAUSE - NOT MUCH DIFFERENT
THAN TODAY, BUT MANY RELIGIOUS
00:51:51.57\00:51:55.44
LEADERS WERE TEACHING THAT IF
YOU'RE BLESSED OF GOD, YOU'LL BE
00:51:55.44\00:51:59.38
RICH. AND THEY'RE
THINKING, 'ABRAHAM WAS RICH.
00:51:59.38\00:52:03.65
ISAAC WAS RICH. JACOB WAS RICH.
JOSEPH BECAME RICH. JOB WAS
00:52:03.65\00:52:08.79
RICH. AND NOW
YOU'RE SAYING IT'S HARD
00:52:08.79\00:52:11.49
FOR A RICH MAN TO GET TO THE
KINGDOM. IF THEY'RE NOT GOING TO
00:52:11.49\00:52:14.03
MAKE IT, NOBODY'S GOING TO
MAKE IT. WHO CAN BE SAVED?'
00:52:14.03\00:52:16.83
AND HE WASN'T SAYING THAT THOSE
PATRIARCHS WEREN'T GOING TO MAKE
00:52:16.83\00:52:20.00
IT, HE WAS SAYING THAT IT'S ONE
OF THE BIGGEST OBSTACLES BECAUSE
00:52:20.00\00:52:23.04
FOUNDATIONAL TO
SALVATION IS A TRUST IN GOD.
00:52:23.04\00:52:27.18
PEOPLE, OFTEN, WHO ARE AMASSING
MONEY AS SECURITY, ARE USING IT
00:52:27.18\00:52:32.78
AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR TRUSTING
GOD. THEIR TRUST IS IN THE BANK
00:52:32.78\00:52:37.32
ACCOUNT. THEIR
TRUST IS NOT IN GOD.
00:52:37.32\00:52:39.72
PEOPLE WHO ARE POOR ARE PRAYING,
LITERALLY, FOR DAILY BREAD -
00:52:39.72\00:52:43.32
'GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY
BREAD' - BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW
00:52:43.32\00:52:44.89
WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO
EAT FROM DAY TO DAY, RIGHT?
00:52:44.89\00:52:47.40
BUT WHEN PEOPLE HAVE A LOT, THEY
STOP TRUSTING GOD FOR THE BASICS
00:52:47.40\00:52:51.20
OF EVERY DAY. AND IT'S HARD.
00:52:51.20\00:52:54.84
NOW, WHEN JESUS SAID, 'IT'S
EASIER FOR A CAMEL TO GO THROUGH
00:52:54.84\00:52:57.84
THE EYE OF A NEEDLE', I'VE HEARD
SOME ARGUMENTS MADE, AND I THINK
00:52:57.84\00:53:02.01
IT COULD BE ARGUED, THAT
SHEPHERDS IN THE BIBLE TIMES,
00:53:02.01\00:53:05.78
WHEN THEY COUNTED THEIR SHEEP,
YOU WANT TO COUNT THEM ONE BY
00:53:05.78\00:53:07.82
ONE, THE SHEEP HAD TO PASS
THROUGH A VERY NARROW CHANNEL
00:53:07.82\00:53:11.75
WHERE ONLY ONE SHEEP COULD GO
THROUGH AND THEY CALLED IT 'THE
00:53:11.75\00:53:14.09
EYE OF THE NEEDLE'
AND IT WAS A NARROW SPOT.
00:53:14.09\00:53:17.59
IT ALSO HAD A BAR ACROSS THE TOP
AND WHEN JESUS SAID IT'S EASIER
00:53:17.59\00:53:21.70
FOR A CAMEL TO GO THROUGH
THE EYE OF A NEEDLE, HE WAS
00:53:21.70\00:53:23.90
REFERRING TO ONE OF THESE SHEEP
CHANNELS WHERE THE FENCE IS -
00:53:23.90\00:53:28.04
WHERE IT NARROWS -
AND THEY COUNT THE SHEEP.
00:53:28.04\00:53:32.41
AND, THEORETICALLY, A CAMEL
COULD GET THROUGH ONE OF THOSE,
00:53:32.41\00:53:34.88
BUT IT WOULD HAVE TO GET ON ITS
KNEES AND IT CAN'T CARRY ALL ITS
00:53:34.88\00:53:37.38
BAGGAGE. CAMELS
WERE USUALLY LOADED
00:53:37.38\00:53:39.88
DOWN WITH CARAVAN BAGGAGE.
AND SO, THE FIGURE IS THAT THAT
00:53:39.88\00:53:44.99
CAMEL'S GOING TO GET THE -
OF COURSE A SHEEP IS A CLEAN
00:53:44.99\00:53:47.32
ANIMAL, CAMEL'S
AN UNCLEAN ANIMAL.
00:53:47.32\00:53:49.59
IF THAT CAMEL'S GOING TO GET
THROUGH, IT HAD TO UNLOAD AND
00:53:49.59\00:53:52.59
GET ON ITS KNEES AND THAT'S
THE ONLY WAY A RICH MAN CAN BE
00:53:52.59\00:53:56.20
SAVED. AND THEY'RE
SAYING, 'SO WHO CAN BE SAVED?'
00:53:56.20\00:53:58.27
NOW IT'S INTERESTING IN THE
STORY OF LUKE WHERE YOU FIND THE
00:53:58.27\00:54:00.44
SAME THING AND JESUS SAID 'IT'S
HARD FOR A RICH MAN TO GET INTO
00:54:00.44\00:54:03.04
THE KINGDOM.' AND THEY
SAY, 'WHO CAN BE SAVED?'
00:54:03.04\00:54:05.57
YOU GO IN THE NEXT CHAPTER
IT TALKS ABOUT ZACCHEUS, WHO IT
00:54:05.57\00:54:09.38
SAYS WAS VERY
RICH. AND DOES HE END
00:54:09.38\00:54:11.61
UP GETTING SAVED? CHRIST
SAID, 'SALVATION HAS COME
00:54:11.61\00:54:15.22
TO THIS HOUSE.'
ZACCHEUS IS SAVED.
00:54:15.22\00:54:17.02
VERY RICH MAN BUT, YOU KNOW WHAT
HAPPENS? THE RICH YOUNG RULER,
00:54:17.02\00:54:20.42
HE SAYS 'NO' TO
JESUS. HE WALKS AWAY SAD.
00:54:20.42\00:54:23.56
ZACCHEUS INVITES JESUS TO HIS
HOUSE AND HE, WITHOUT EVEN BEING
00:54:23.56\00:54:26.90
ASKED, HE SAYS, 'HALF OF MY
GOODS I GIVE TO THE POOR AND IF
00:54:26.90\00:54:31.47
I'VE TAKEN ANYTHING FROM ANY MAN
BY FALSE ACCUSATION, I RESTORE
00:54:31.47\00:54:35.00
HIM FOUR-FOLD.' ZACCHEUS,
SUDDENLY HIS HEART IS TOUCHED.
00:54:35.00\00:54:38.07
HE BECOMES VERY GENEROUS. HE
DOES THE THING THAT JESUS HAD
00:54:38.07\00:54:41.14
ASKED THE OTHER MAN TO DO THAT
HE WOULDN'T DO. NOW IS THE LORD
00:54:41.14\00:54:45.45
ASKING ALL OF US TO LIQUIDATE
AND GIVE EVERYTHING TO THE POOR?
00:54:45.45\00:54:49.72
NOT NECESSARILY, BUT I DON'T
WANT TO BE THE HOLY SPIRIT FOR
00:54:49.72\00:54:53.42
YOU, BUT THE REASON THE
LORD SAID IT TO THIS YOUNG MAN -
00:54:53.42\00:54:58.59
'SELL ALL YOU HAVE AND
GIVE IT TO THE POOR, YOU'LL HAVE
00:54:58.59\00:55:00.40
TREASURE IN HEAVEN' - HE
WAS ASKING HIM TO BE AN APOSTLE.
00:55:00.40\00:55:03.33
HE SAID, 'TAKE UP YOUR CROSS AND
FOLLOW ME.' THE SAME THING HE
00:55:03.33\00:55:07.40
SAID TO PETER AND IT SAYS 'THEY
FORSOOK EVERYTHING AND FOLLOWED
00:55:07.40\00:55:10.71
HIM.' SAME THING
THAT HE SAID TO MATTHEW.
00:55:10.71\00:55:13.31
HE LEFT HIS CASH
REGISTER AND FOLLOWED HIM.
00:55:13.31\00:55:15.71
THEY LEFT EVERYTHING
AND THEY FOLLOWED HIM.
00:55:15.71\00:55:17.55
HE WAS INVITING
HIM TO BE AN APOSTLE.
00:55:17.55\00:55:19.61
NOW, IF YOU'RE INVITED TO
FULL-TIME MINISTRY LIKE THAT -
00:55:19.61\00:55:22.55
HE MIGHT BE ASKING YOU TO,
I DON'T KNOW - BUT ANYWAY, THE
00:55:22.55\00:55:28.72
LORD REALLY DOES ASK
EVERYBODY TO GIVE EVERYTHING.
00:55:28.72\00:55:32.13
'WHOSOEVER IS NOT WILLING
TO FORSAKE ALL CANNOT BE MY
00:55:32.13\00:55:34.46
DISCIPLE.' IT'S LIKE THAT
MAN THAT FINDS THE TREASURE IN A
00:55:34.46\00:55:37.77
FIELD. HE SELLS EVERYTHING
HE HAS TO GET THAT TREASURE.
00:55:37.77\00:55:41.27
OKAY, I'M RUNNING OUT OF TIME
AND I'VE STILL GOT SOME LESSON
00:55:41.27\00:55:43.10
LEFT. SOMEONE WAS
GOING TO READ FOR ME
00:55:43.10\00:55:46.41
MATTHEW 13:22 -
YOU'LL HAVE THAT ONE?
00:55:46.41\00:55:50.05
AND IN JUST A SECOND I'M GOING
TO READ PROVERBS 23, VERSES 4
00:55:50.05\00:55:53.01
AND 5, "DO NOT OVERWORK TO
BE RICH; BECAUSE OF YOUR OWN
00:55:53.01\00:55:59.45
UNDERSTANDING, CEASE!
WILL YOU SET YOUR EYES
00:55:59.45\00:56:02.59
ON THAT WHICH IS NOT?
FOR RICHES CERTAINLY MAKE
00:56:02.59\00:56:05.26
THEMSELVES WINGS; THEY FLY AWAY
LIKE AN EAGLE TOWARD HEAVEN."
00:56:05.26\00:56:09.50
ALRIGHT, GO AHEAD, READ
FOR US - AGAIN, MATTHEW 13:22.
00:56:09.50\00:56:14.57
>>"NOW HE WHO RECEIVED SEED
AMONG THE THORNS IS HE WHO HEARS
00:56:14.57\00:56:17.67
THE WORD, AND THE CARES OF THIS
WORLD AND THE DECEITFULNESS OF
00:56:17.67\00:56:21.81
RICHES CHOKE THE WORD,
AND HE BECOMES UNFRUITFUL."
00:56:21.81\00:56:26.18
>>YOU CAN SEE WHAT ONE OF THE
DANGERS IS: EVEN THE GOOD SEED
00:56:26.18\00:56:29.48
SOWN IN THAT GROUND WITH
THE THORNS, IT CHOKED THE WORD.
00:56:29.48\00:56:32.79
IT BECAME DISTRACTED
WITH THE CARES OF THIS LIFE.
00:56:32.79\00:56:34.72
THE DECEITFULNESS OF RICHES - 1
TIMOTHY 6 - "COMMAND" - AND THIS
00:56:34.72\00:56:40.36
IS VERSE 17 - "COMMAND THOSE WHO
ARE RICH IN THIS PRESENT AGE NOT
