WE PRAISE YOU FOR THIS 02:41 OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE THE TRUTH. WE ASK THIS IN JESUS HOLY NAME. 02:47 AMEN. >> THANK YOU, RYAN. 02:48 FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE WATCHING AT HOME OR ON THE 02:53 INTERNET, REMEMBER THIS IS AN INTERACTIVE CAMP MEETING. 03:08 YOU CAN TEXT TO THE NUMBER AT THE BOTTOM TO OF THE SCREEN OR 03:11 REGISTERED YOU CAN GET ON THE CHAT ROOM AND DO A LIVE CHAT. 03:18 LET'S LOOK AT SABBATH. OUR MEMORY TEXT IS PHILIPPIANS 03:26 2, 5-7. I BELIEVE THIS IS MY FAVORITE 03:31 TEXT IN THE PAOEUBL. LET IT BE IN YOU WHICH IS IN 03:40 CHRIST JESUS. IN OTHER WORDS, THE CHARACTER OF 03:42 CHRIST IS OUR EXAMPLE. HIS MIND, HIS THOUGHTS SHOULD BE 03:47 OUR ATTITUDE. IT'S SAYS, WHO BEING IN THE FORM 03:51 OF GOD DID NOT CONSIDER IT ROBBERY TO BE EQUAL. 03:58 TAKING THE FORM OF A BOND SERVICE COMING IN THE LIKENESS 04:03 OF MEN. WE'LL BREAK THAT DOWN. 04:05 LET ME ASK YOU, WHAT WAS CHRIST'S MIND LIKE? 04:09 WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THAT, THE ESSENCE OF CHRIST IS 04:21 SELF-SACRIFICING, WAS IT NOT? LET'S LOOK AT SUNDAY, JESUS 04:26 SELF-SACRIFICING LOVE AND WE'LL BEGIN AGAIN WITH THIS PASSAGE -- 04:31 WE'LL BEGIN IN PHILIPPIANS 2:6. WHO BEING IN THE FORM OF GOD DID 04:38 NOT CONSIDER CAN IT ROBBERY TO BE EQUAL WITH GOD. 04:43 FORM IS A GREEK IT DENOTES THE ESSENTIAL BEING THE UNCHANGING 04:52 CHARACTER OF A BEING. JESUS CHRIST ALL HIS 04:59 CHARACTERISTICS ENCOMPASSED THE CHARACTERISTICS OF GOD IT WAS HE 05:03 WAS GOD. HE WAS CO-EQUAL WITH GOD 05:06 THROUGHOUT ETERNITY. WE KNOW THAT JOHN 1:1 SAYS IN 05:12 THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD. 05:18 IT SHOWS HE'S A DISTINCT PERSON. HE WAS ETERNAL BUT DISTINCT AND 05:23 THE WORD WAS GOD. IT WAS GOD WHO THEN IN VERSE 14 05:30 SAID, HE TOOK ON OUR FLESH HE CAME DOWN AND WE HELD HIS GLORY. 05:41 PHILIPPIANS 2:7 SAID HE MADE HIMSELF OF NO REPUTATIONL COMING 05:45 IN THE LIKENESS OF MEN. THROUGHOUT ALL ETERNITY JESUS 05:52 HAD ALL OF THE RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES AND THE HONOR OF 05:58 DEITY. BUT THIS WORD HERE THAT SAYS HE 05:59 MADE HIMSELF OF NO REPUTATION, THE WORD IN THE GREEK IS 06:12 KINOSIS. HE LAID ASIDE ALL HIS PRIVILEGES 06:19 TO BECOME THE COVENANT SON OF GOD WHO WAS GOING TO CHANGE US. 06:23 HE DIDN'T EXCHANGE HIS DEITY FOR HUMANITY. 06:26 HE WAS PERFECTLY MAN, YET HE NEVER DREW ON HIS POWERS AS GOD 06:35 RATHER, WHAT HE DID WAS HE TOTALLY -- HE LAID ASIDE HIS 06:40 DEFINE AUTHORITY AND TOTALLY SUBMITTED TO THE FATHER'S WILL. 06:43 HE SAID I ONLY DO WHAT THE FATHER CHOSE TO ME DO AND SAY. 06:55 IN HIS INCARNATION HE SUBMITTED TO THE HOLY SPIRIT'S DIRECTION. 06:58 THAT IS THE DEFINITION OF HUMILITY IS TOTAL DEPENDANCE ON 07:03 GOD. THAT'S WHAT HUMILITY IS ALL 07:06 ABOUT. SO HE STEPPED OUT OF HEAVEN AND 07:12 HE BECAME LIKE HIS BRETHREN IN ALL WAYS HE DID WHAT GOD ASKED 07:25 HIM TO DO BUT HE'S THE HIGH PRIEST. 07:29 HE SYMPATHIZES WITH HIS WEAKNESSES HE WENT TO THE CROSS 08:16 FOR YOU AND ME. I PRAISE GOD EVERY NIGHT, EVERY 08:20 NIGHT AS I'M PRAYING, I AM PRAISING GOD FOR WHAT HE DID TO 08:25 THINK THAT MY CREATOR BECAME A MAN TO SAVE ME IS AMAZING. 08:30 HE HUMBLED HIMSELF THROUGH OBEDIENCE AND HE WENT BEYOND 08:37 PERSECUTION TO THE DEVASTATING DEGRADING DEATH OF THE CROSS 08:42 WHICH -- YOU KNOW WHY HE DID THIS, THE FIRST MAN ADAM FAILED. 08:49 SO GOD PROMISED IN GENESIS 3:15 THERE WOULD BE A NEW MAN P.M. 08:56 WHO WOULD COME. HE WOULD BE THE SEED OF A WOMAN, 09:02 ACTUALLY YOU KNOW WHEN EVE GAVE BIRTH, IF YOU RESEARCH THE NAME 09:40 HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS IN OBEDIENCE IS ATTRIBUTED TO US. 09:45 HE SAID THEREFORE GOD HAS HIGHLY EXH 09:57 EX EX 09:59 EXALTED HIM. AND THAT EVERYBODY SHOULD 10:02 CONFESS THAT JESUS CHRIST IS LORD. 10:03 NOW, I JUST WANT TO SAY THIS, I'M GIVING YOU A VERY SHORT 10:10 DEFINITION HERE OR A VERY SHORT EXPLANATION I SHOULD SAY. 10:15 IF ANYTHING I SAY CONFUSES YOU, GO BACK AND WATCH THE SERMON 10:19 THAT I DID ON THE ETERNAL LIGHT OF HUMILITY. 10:23 THAT WAS THE CAMP MEETING SERMON. 10:27 BUT WHAT I WANT TO TELL YOU IS THAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT COVENANT 10:32 AND WE SO MISUNDERSTAND -- THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE WHO THINK 10:37 THAT THE WORD -- WHEN IT SAYS THAT GOD WE GOT JESUS AND 10:42 SOMEWHERE IN ETERNITY'S PATH THAT JESUS CAME FORTH FROM THE 10:49 BOSOM OF GOD, IT MEANS THAT YOU ARE CHOSEN FOR A COVETED 10:59 PURPOSE. AS A MATTER OF FACT IN 11:04 DEUTERONOMY THE BIBLE SAYS THIS IS TALKING ABOUT THE ROCK, OUR 11:06 LORD GOD AND HE'S SAYING TO THE ISRAELITES OF THE ROCK WHO WE 11:15 GOT YOU YOU ARE UNMINDFUL. YOU FORGOTTEN GOD WHO FATHERED 11:22 YOU -- DID GOD GIVE BIRTH TO ISRAEL? 11:27 NO. HE WEBEGOT THEM. 11:41 ADAM IS CALLED THE SON OF GOD. YOU FIND THAT IN LUKE 3:38. 11:45 ADAM WAS THE SON OF GOD AND THROUGHOUT THE BIBLE THEN THE 11:50 COVENANT TERM SON OF GOD IS REFERRING TO A SUCCESSION WHO 12:02 ARE GOD'S SON IN A COVETED PURPOSE. 12:05 WE SEE IN PSALM 2:7 HE SAID TO DAVID, YOU ARE MY SON. 12:12 TODAY I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU. AND THEN THAT'S KIND OF LIKE I 12:17 GUESS YOU COULD SAY IT WAS LIKE AN ENTHRONEMENT ORDINANCE WHEN 12:23 HE'S MAKING DAVID KING. BUT WHAT THAT MEANS TO BE THE 12:26 SON OF GOD IN THE COVENANT TERM THIS IS TALKING ABOUT THE 12:34 PRIVILEGES OF RELATIONSHIP. GUESS WHAT? 12:36 GOD WOULD SAY TO THESE MEN HERE, HE WOULD SAY YOU ARE MY SON. 12:39 HE WOULD SAY TO JILL, YOU ARE MY DAUGHTER. 12:42 WE HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF RELATIONSHIP BECAUSE OF GOD'S 12:47 COVENANT PROMISE. I THINK THAT'S SO BEAUTIFUL. 12:56 IT'S INTERESTING. WHEN GOD PROMISED ABRAHAM AND 12:59 SARA A SON, HE SAID, YOU'RE GOING TO BEAR A SEASON AND I 13:05 WILL ESTABLISH MY COVENANT WITH YOU. 13:07 AND THEN IN GENESIS 22:2 SAYS TO ABRAHAM, BRING ISAAC YOUR ONLY 13:26 SON. SO THE TERM ONLY SON MEANS HE IS 13:31 UNIQUE TO THE COVENANT PROMISE. FIRST BORN ACTUALLY CAN MEAN 13:38 THAT AS WELL. THE IT'S NOT CHRONOLOGICAL WHEN 13:43 YOU'RE TALKING COVENANT LANG WABLG. 13:44 FIRST BORN MEANS THIS IS THE CHANNEL THROUGH WHOM THE 13:47 COVENANT BLESSINGS ARE GOING TO BE PASSED FROM ONE GENERATION TO 13:55 ANOTHER. LET ME SHOW YOU THIS ONE. 14:01 EXODUS CHAPTER 4:22. THIS IS GOD TELLING MOSES. 14:06 HE SAID YOU SHALL SAY THUS SAYS THE LORD THIS IS MY SON, MY 14:12 FIRST BORN. HE'S TALKING OF ISRAEL. 14:59 A THE TITLE OF THIS LESSON IS 15:02 COMMITMENT CALL. THERE IS A BEAUTIFUL PASSAGE 15:09 WHEN JESUS JESUS SAW TWO BROTHERS SIMON AND PETER. 15:28 THEN HE SAID TO THEM, FOLLOW ME. THEY IMMEDIATELY LEFT THEIR NETS 15:43 AND FOLLOWED HIM. PEOPLE WHO GO FISHING THEY 16:02 EITHER GO EARLY EARLING IN THE MORNING OR AFTER AS SUN WAS 0 16:06 GOING DOWN. BUT JESUS WAS WALKING JUST AS 16:09 THE SUN WAS COMING UP. IN JOHN CHAPTER 1 WE SEE ST 17:03 BEGINNING OF THIS CALL THAT JESUS MADE. 17:06 VERSE 36, JOHN THE BAPTIST SAYS HERE AND LOOKING AT JESUS AS HE 17:11 WALKED HE SAID BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD WHERE ARE YOU STAYING. 17:32 THEY WANTED TO BE WITH JESUS. HE SAID COME AND SEE. 17:40 THEY KAEURPL AND REMAINED WHERE HE WAS STAYING THAT DAY. 17:45 ONE OF THE TWO WHO FOLD HIM WAS ANDREW, SIMON PETER'S BROTHER. 17:52 HE FIRST FOUND HIS OWN BROTHER SIMON AND SAID TO HIM WE HAVE 17:56 FOUND THE MESSIAH, WHICH IS TRANSLATED TO CHRIST. 18:03 WHEN JESUS LOOKED AT HIM HE SAID YOU ARE SIMON, SON OF JONAH. 18:10 NOW YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENED HERE IS THAT ANDREW HAD BEEN 18:16 LISTENING TO JOHN THE BAPTIST. HE WAS AMAZED AND BLESSED AND 18:22 WHEN JOHN THE BAPTIST SAYS BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD ANDREW 18:25 SAYS, WAIT A MINUTE. I NEED TO SEE AND HEAR THIS MAN 18:32 AND HE FOLLOWED HIM. IT'S INTERESTING NO NOTE THAT 18:36 PETER CAME AND MET JESUS. PETER HEARD AND ANDREW HAD HEARD 18:40 THE MESSAGES OF JESUS. BUT THEY WRE STILL FISHING. 18:50 BUT THIS POINT IN MATTHEW CHAPTER 4 IS WHEN JESUS MAKES A 18:58 CALL OF COMMITMENTMENT IN OTHER WORDS STOP WHAT YOU YOU'RE DOING 19:01 AND LEAVE IT ASIDE AND FOLLOW ME. 19:05 DEDICATE YOUR LIFE INSTEAD OF FISHING FOR FISH JESUS COULD 19:18 HAVE GONE TO THE BEST SCHOOLS AND SAID WHICH ARE YOUR A 19:23 STUDENTS. WHICH ARE THE PEOPLE AT THE TOP 19:29 OF THE CLASS WHICH ARE THOSE THAT WILL BE LEADERS IN THIS 19:32 COUNTRY. BUT HE WENT TO COMMON FISHERMAN 19:34 TO FIND DISCIPLES. NOW I'M AFRAID THAT IF HE HAD 19:43 GONE TO THESE SCHOOLS HE MADE A CALL TO THEM THEY WOULD NOT HAVE 19:47 ACCEPTED THE CALL OF JESUS. YOU SEE, GOD CALLS THOSE THAT 19:51 ARE TEACHABLE HUMBLE SO THAT HE CAN TEACH THEM AND GIVE THEM THE 19:57 CAPACITY AND DEVELOP THOSE TALENTS HE HAS ALREADY PUT 20:01 THERE. THOSE THAT DON'T THINK THAT I AM 20:04 OVER HERE AND EVERYONE ELSE IS DOWN THERE. 20:07 YOU SEE, WHEN WE LOOK AT THE SCRIPTURES WE SEE IN THE BOOK OF 20:14 FIRST CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 1, BEGINNING OF VERSE 26 A 20:18 REVEALING OF THOSE THAT GOD CALLS. 20:25 NOT MANY MIGHTY OR NOBLE ARE CALLED. 20:32 GOD HAS CHOSEN THE FOOLISH THINGS OF THE WORLD TO PUT TO 20:38 SHAME AND BASE THINGS OF THE WORLD AND THE THINGS THAT ARE 20:43 DESPISED GOD HAS CHOSEN AND THE THINGS THAT ARE NOT TO BRING TO 20:47 NOTHING THE THINGS THAT ARE THAT NO FLESH SHOULD GLORY IN ITS 20:52 PRESENCE. THESE WERE HUMBLE PEOPLE THAT 20:55 GOD SAW IN THEM GREAT POTENTIAL AS THEY PLACED THEMSELVES IN THE 21:01 HANDS OF THE LORD. AS WE CONTINUE IN THE LESSON, 21:08 YOU WILL NOTICE THAT IT TAKES US TO ANOTHER PERSON THAT WAS 21:12 CALLED. MATTHEW CHAPTER 10. 21:14 IT SAYS AS JESUS PASSED ON FROM THERE HE SAW A MAN NAMED 21:25 MATTHEW. WHAT WAS HE DOING THERE? 21:27 HE WAS A TAX COLLECTOR. HE SAID TO HIM. 21:30 FOLLOW ME. SO HE AROSE AND FOLLOWED HIM. 21:40 OF TO UNDERSTAND THEM BECAUSE THE JEWS WERE UNDER THE CONTROL 21:42 OF THE ROMANS AND THE ROMANS THEY CHOSE FROM AMONG THE JEWS 21:51 SOMETIMES THEY WOULD USE A TAX COLLECTOR AND MATTHEW WAS A VERY 21:57 INTELLIGENT MAN BUT MATTHEW AS A TAX COLLECTOR HE WAS ALREADY 22:01 LABELED BY THE PEOPLE AND DESPISED BY THE JEWS BECAUSE YOU 22:04 ARE COLLECTING MONEY FROM US. I MAY REMEMBER THE PARABLE. 22:29 YOU YOU SEE THE THINKING OF THOSE DAYS MATTHEW WHEN HE HEARD 22:34 JESUS CALL HIM, HE WAS AMAZED. HE'S CALLING ME? 22:46 WHAT A CALL. HE WAS SUM MR. ENOUGH TO 22:49 UNDERSTAND HE RECEIVED A HIGHER CALLING. 23:10 SO THEY WERE DESPISED BUT MATTHEW DECIDED TO FOLLOW JESUS. 23:31 YOU'RE TAKING THE CALL OF JESUS TOSH A FISHER OF MEN AS WELL. 23:34 IT MAY BE FULL-TIME AND AFTER YOU GET DONE WITH WORK BUT GOD 23:38 IS CALLING EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US. 23:40 IRREMEMBER WHEN I WAS 9 OR 10 YEARS OLD, I WAS WALKING DOWN 23:44 THE STREET THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC AND A THOUGHT CAME TO 23:47 MY MIND. IT WAS NOT AN AUDIBLE VOICE BUT 23:50 I UNDERSTOOD IT WAS THE LORD AND THE MESSAGE WAS, I HAVE 23:52 SOMETHING FOR YOU TO TO. I SAID WHAT? 23:57 I WAS WALKING BY MYSELF AND I WAS LIKE, WHAT DOES THE LORD 24:01 WANT ME TO. I WAS GOING TO SABBATH SCHOOL IN 24:04 THOSE DAYS. I BEGAN TO WONDER WHAT DOES THE 24:08 LORD WANT ME TO TO. IT WASN'T UNTIL I WAS 12, 13 24:12 YEARS OLD MY SABBATH SCHOOL TEACHER AS I WAS GOING UP TO 24:15 HEAR THE SERMON STOPPED ME AND SAID, YOU ARE MY NEXT PASTOR. 24:21 I WAS SHOCKED. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY. 24:25 AND SHE SAW I WAS SPEECHLESS. SHE SAID THAT'S OKAY. 24:28 YOU GO AHEAD AND GO UP TO THE SERVICE. 24:30 BUT I SAT THERE AS THE SERMON STARTED THINKING. 24:36 I REMEMBER WHAT THE LORD CALLED ME TO DO AND I SAID MAYBE GOD 24:39 WANTS ME TO BE A PASTOR. GOD CALLS PEOPLE AND USES THEM 24:42 ACCORDING TO THE WAY THEY HUMBLE THEMSELVES. 24:49 >> THE CLEANING OF THE FISH IS STILL UP TO GOD. 24:55 THIS IS AN INTERACTIVE CAMP MEETING. 24:57 IF YOU HAVE REGISTERED WE WANT YOU TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO GO 25:01 ONLINE AND CHAT WITH US NOW AND SEND IN YOUR QUESTIONS ON THIS 25:05 SABBATH SCHOOL PANEL. WE HAVE 30 MINUTES COMING UP 25:08 THAT WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS LIVE OR YOU CAN TEXT US AT THE 25:13 NUMBER AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR SCREEN. 25:15 >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. YES, PLEASE. 25:16 ASK US SOME QUESTIONS. WE LIKE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS 25:23 AROUND HERE. TUESDAY'S LESSON WAS PAUL, GOD'S CHOSEN VESSEL. 25:45 WE ARE ALL GOD'S CHOSEN VESSEL. BUT PAUL I TELL YOU THIS GUY 25:49 HE'S SO INSPIRING. OUT OF ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE 25:52 BIBLE I THINK PAUL IS THE ONE THAT JUST AMAZES ME. 25:55 WHAT HE WENT THROUGH. NOT TO SAY THAT NONE OF THE 25:57 OTHER BIBLE CHARACTERS AND EVEN US TODAY THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT 26:05 GO THROUGH A LOT OF STUFF. BUT WHEN YOU READ PAUL'S LIFE 26:08 AND HOW GOD USED HIM AND WHAT HE WENT THROUGH IT'S JUST 26:13 INCREDIBLE. I WANT TO START WITH HIS 26:24 CONVERSION. WE'RE REALLY BUILDING UP TO 26:27 SOMETHING POWERFUL THAT I BELIEVE IS A MESSAGE FOR TODAY. 26:30 LET'S GO TO ACTS CHAPTER 9 AND WE'LL BEGIN READING IN VERSE 1 26:34 AND WE KNOW PAUL WAS A PERSECUTOR. 26:36 IN FACT HE TELLS US I BELIEVE IT'S IN THE BOOK OF FIRST OR 26:41 SECOND TIMOTHY. IDENTIFIES HIMSELF AS A BLAST 26:50 TPA MBLASPHEMER AND PERSECUTOR. HE SAID HE WENT TO THE HIGH 27:12 PRIEST AND ASKED LETTERS FROM HIM TO THE SYNAGOGUES OF 27:19 DAMASCUS SO IF HE FOUND ANY OF THE WAY, SPEAKING OF THE 27:21 CHRISTIAN WAY, WHETHER MEN OR WOMEN, HE MIGHT BRING THEM DOWN 27:26 TO JERUSALEM. VERSE 3, AS HE JOURNEYED AND 27:32 SUDDENLY A LIGHT SHONE AROUND HIM AND THEN HE FELL TO THE 27:35 GROUND AND HE HEARD A VOICE SAY, SAUL, SAUL, WHY ARE YOU 27:40 PERSECUTING ME AND HE SAID WHERE ARE YOU OR WHO YOU ARE, LORD? 27:44 IT'S FUNNY THAT YOU DON'T KNOW WHO THIS IS. 27:46 BUT BY HEARING THE VOICE HE AUTOMATICALLY ASSUMES DIVINITY 27:51 AND KNOWS, WAIT A SECOND, WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME. 27:54 I CAN JUST IMAGINE THIS IS VERY HAPPENING IN QUICK SUCCESSION 27:58 BUT HIS FIRST RESPONSE IS WHO ARE YOU LORD? 28:01 NOT WHO IS THIS SPEAKING TO ME. HE KNEW IMMEDIATELY IT WAS 28:12 DIVINITY. ANYONE THE LORD SAID TO HIM I AM 28:15 JESUS WHOM YOUR PERSECUTING. HE SAID IT WOULD BE LIKE ME 28:48 DRIVING DOWN 149 AND JUST DRIVING AND HAVING A NICE DAY 28:51 AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY I FIND MYSELF SWERVING AND ON THE 28:57 SIDE OF THE ROAD AND I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING AND YOU HEAR THIS VOICE 28:59 THAT COMES OUT OF NOWHERE THAT SAYS, RYAN, RYAN, WHY ARE YOU% 29:03 KAOULTING ME? AND THEN YOU SAY, I'M SORRY. 29:06 WHO ARE YOU? AND THE RESPONSE YOU GET IS, 29:13 IT'S THE POPE. >> I SEE YOUR POINT. 29:18 >> THERE IS ALWAYS A DELAY THERE. 29:24 THAT WOULD BE ESSENTIAL. WE'RE NOT ANTI-CATHOLICS BUT WE 29:28 BELIEVE THAT POWER IS IS AN ANTICHRIST POWER. 29:33 PAUL WAS FULLY CONVINCED THAT JESUS WAS THE ENEMY AND 29:36 CHRISTIANS WERE THE ENEMY OF GOD AND TO HAVE THIS EXPERIENCE TO 29:39 HEAR IT'S ME JESUS YOU CAN IMAGINE HIS WHOLE WORLD WAS 29:43 TURNED UPSIDE TOWN BUT YOU SEE THE SINCERITY OF PAUL IN HIS 29:48 RESPONSE. LORD, WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO. 29:55 IT WASN'T YOU'RE AN ENEMY. IT CHANGED HIS LIFE. 29:57 REST OF THE STORY GOES ON AND EZ GOES TO DID HE DID HE MASS CAS 30:08 AND HE WENT HIS WAY AND LAYING HANDS ON HIM SAID BROTHER SAUL 30:12 THE LORD JESUS WHO APPEARED TO YOU ON THE ROAD HAS SENT ME THAT 30:16 YOU MAY RECEIVE YOUR SITE AND BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. 30:20 YOU CAN IMAGINE ALL IS HAPPENING IN A VERY QUICK TIME AND 30:24 IMMEDIATELY THAT IF HE WILL FROM HIS EYES WAS SCALES AND HE 30:27 RECEIVED HIS SIGHT AT ONCE AND AROSE AND WAS BAPTIZED. 30:36 WHEN HE WAS STRENGTHENED AND SAUL SPENT DAYS WITH THE 30:40 DISCIPLES IN DID HE MASS CUSS. BUT HE PREACHED CHRIST THAT HE 30:53 IS THE SON OF GOD. HE PRESSED FORWARD ALL THE WAY. 31:24 AS WE'RE LEARNING IN TRUTH SOMETIMES -- YEAH, I REGULAR 31:27 THAT SOME OF US NEED MORE TIME THAN OTHERS. 31:29 THAT'S A GOOD POINT TO MAKE. BUT AT THE SAME TIME SOME OF US 31:34 OVERTHINK OUR FAITH TO THE POINT OR OVERTHINK THE TRUTH THAT HAS 31:37 BEEN GIVEN TO US TO THE POINT THAT WE TALK OURSELVES OUT OF 31:40 BEING FAITHFUL TO TWOED NOW IMMEDIATELY WHEN GOD HAS CALLED 31:45 US. I THINK OF ACTS CHAPTER 28:21. 31:49 THIS WAS TOWARD THE BEGINNING OF PAUL'S -- ACTUALLY THIS WAS AT 31:53 THE END. THIS WAS AT THE END OF PAUL'S 31:57 WORK. TOWARD THE END OF ONE OF HIS 31:59 MISSIONARY JOURNEYS. HE SAID PAUL DWELLED TWO YEARS 32:05 IN HIS OWN AND RENNED HOUSE AND RECEIVED ALL WHO CAME TO HIM 32:09 PRAEFPING THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND TEACHING THE THINGS THAT 32:12 CONCERNED THE LORD JESUS CHRIST WITH ALL CONFIDENCE NO ONE 32:16 FORBIDDING HIM. SO YOU CAN SEE THE UNWAVERING 32:23 FAITH OF PAUL. HE SAID I DEPARTMENT THE FAITH 32:41 AND FINALLY THERE IS A CROWN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND YOU CAN JUST 32:45 SEE. THIS IS KIND OF FAITH I WANT. 32:49 RIGHT. TO CONSIDER WHAT PAUL WENT 32:58 THROUGH. I'M REFERENCING SECOND 33:03 CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 11 VERSUS 23-27. 33:05 I WANT TO REFERENCE A COUPLE OF THINGS. 33:07 NOTICE WHAT HE WENT THROUGH. STARTING WITH VERSE 24. 33:13 THE BUT I'M GOING TO START WITH VERSE 24 HE SAYS, FROM THE JEWS 33:18 5 TIMES I RECEIVED 40 STRIPES MINUS 1. 33:20 MANY OF US WOULD HAVE GOT WHIPPED THE FIRST TIME AND SAID 33:23 THAT FORGET THIS. THIS ISN'T FOR ME. 33:26 THIS IS WHAT GOD HAS CALLED ME TO BE THIS ISN'T ME. 33:29 THIS GUY WENT THROUGH THIS 5 TIMES. 33:31 BUT HE DOESN'T STOP THERE. THREE TIMES WAS BEATEN WITH 33:36 RODS. ONE TIME HE WAS STONED. 33:38 WHEN THEY STONE YOU THEY'RE NOT STONING YOU SO YOU CONTINUE TO 33:41 LIVE. THIS BROTHER WAS BEING STONED 33:43 BECAUSE THEY WERE TRYING TO KILL HIM BUT HE LIVED THROUGH IT BY 33:48 THE GRACE OF GOD. THREE TIMES SHIPWRECKED. 33:51 WHAT WAS AMAZING TO ME, THIS INTO VERSE 28. 33:56 HE TALKS ABOUT ALL THESE PERILS IN THE WILDERNESS AND THE SEA 34:01 AND IN PERILS AMONG ALL BRETHREN IN OTHER WORDS HE WAS PERSECUTED 34:05 BY PEOPLE WHO WERE CLAIMING TO FOLLOW JESUS, CLAIMING TO BE 34:09 CHRISTIANS BUT YOU KNOW WHAT, HE FELL INTO PERIL AND WHO KNOWS 34:12 WHAT KIND OF WRONG WAS DONE TO HIM. 34:14 BUT HE WENT THROUGH THE MECCA OF PERSECUTION. 34:17 AND IT'S JUST A POWERFUL TO SEE THAT THROUGH ALL OF THIS, HE 34:20 STILL SAID I'M PRESSING FORWARD. I'M PRESSING FORWARD IN THE 34:22 FAITH. I'M GOING TO READ THIS LAST 34:25 QUOTE HERE. THIS COMES FROM THE GREAT CONTROVERSY PAGE 48. 34:33 MANY OF US DO NOT RECEIVE PERSECUTION BECAUSE OUR FAITH 34:36 ISN'T WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE. I'M GOING TO SAY THAT. 34:40 NOTICE THIS GREAT CONTROVERSY PAGE 38. 34:42 WHY IS IT THEN THE PERSECUTION SEEMS IN A GREAT DEGREE TO 34:47 SLUMBER. THE ONLY REASON IS CHURCH HAS 34:49 CON FORMED TO THE WORLD'S STANDARD AND AWAKENS NO 34:52 OPPOSITION. THE RELIGION IN OUR DAY IS NOT 34:54 THE PURE AND HOLY CHARACTER THAT MARKED IT IN THE DAY OF CHRIST 34:57 AND APOSTLES AND GOES ON TO SAY, IT IS ONLY BECAUSE OF THE SPIRIT 35:03 OF COMPROMISE WITH SIN BECAUSE OF THE GREAT TRAOUTDZS OF WORD 35:07 OF GOD ARE DIFFERENTLY REGARDED BECAUSE THERE IS SO LITTLE 35:11 GODLINESS IN THE CHURCH THAT CHRISTIANITY IS SO POPULAR WITH 35:14 THE WORLD. SHE SAYS, LET THERE BE A REVIVAL 35:18 OF THE FAITH AND POWER OF THE EARLY CHURCH AND THE SPIRIT OF 35:21 PERSECUTION WILL BE REVIVED AND THE FIRES OF PERSECUTION WILL BE 35:26 REKINDLED. BUT I WANT TO BE LEAD BY THE 35:28 SAME SPIRIT THAT LEAD PAUL. I WANT TO BE CONVERTED SO MUCH 35:30 IN MY HEART AND MIND THAT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MANY TIMES 35:33 YOU BEAT AND DOESN'T MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU'RE STONED OR 35:37 SHIPWRECKED. WHATEVER YOU GO THROUGH IN YOUR 35:39 LIFE, JESUS IS WITH YOU AND YOU'RE PRESSING FORWARD TORE 35:42 THAT CROWN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. >> AMEN. 35:44 I LOVE THAT. THAT'S A POWERFUL TESTIMONY. 35:46 PAUL HAS A POWERFUL TESTIMONY. IF YOU'RE JUST NOW JOINING US I 35:51 WANT TO INVITE YOU TO -- IF YOU'RE REGISTERED FOR CAMP 35:54 MEETING GO ONLINE TO THE CHAT ROOM AND SUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS 35:58 BECAUSE WE'LL BE ANSWERING THEM AFTER THIS. 36:00 ALSO YOU CAN TEXT THE NUMBER THAT'S AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR 36:02 SCREEN WITH THE QUESTIONS AND WE'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM. 36:06 I HAVE WEDNESDAY'S LESSON AND WEDNESDAY'S LESSON IS ENTITLED 36:09 THE DEMANDS OF LOVE. AS I WAS LOOKING AT THE TIGHT AM 36:20 I WAS CONFUSED BECAUSE I'M THINKING, I DON'T WANT A 36:28 COMMANDING PERSON. BUT AS I READ THE LESSON I 36:34 THOUGHT, THIS TIGHTING IS BRILLIANT. 36:37 WE'LL LOOK AND SEE WHY. THE DEMANDS OF LOVE. 36:40 I LOVE HOW THE LESSON STARTS OUT. 36:43 LOVE ALWAYS MANIFESTS ITSELF IN ACTION. 36:50 WE SEE THAT ALL THROUGHOUT THE WORD OF GOD. 36:52 BUT THEN IT PROCEEDS TO SAY, OUR LOVE FOR CHRIST COMPELS US TO DO 36:58 SOMETHING FOR LOST HUMANITY. THINK ABOUT THAT AS WELL. 37:01 OUR LOVE FOR CHRIST COMPELS US TO TO SOMETHING FOR LOST 37:04 HUMANITY. I WANT TO TAKE MOMENT TO JUST 37:07 KIND OF BRING ABOUT THAT QUESTION IN OUR MINDS, WHAT HAVE 37:12 WE DONE. WHAT HAS OUR LOVE FOR CHRIST 37:15 COMPELLED US TO DO FOR LOST HUMANITY LATELY. 37:37 LET'S LOOK AT MATTHEW CHAPTER 25 C1 ONE WAY THAT WE SHOW OUR LOVE IS 38:41 BY MEETING THE NEEDS OF OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS. 38:45 BY DOING SO, WE'RE SHOWING OUR LOVE FOR CHRIST. 38:49 NOW, GET THIS THOUGH. AS LONG AS WE HAVE THE RIGHT 38:52 MOTIVES -- BECAUSE YOU CAN DO A GOOD BUT IF YOU DO IT FOR THE 38:56 WRONG REASON, IT'S NOT SO GOOD. NOW ANOTHER WAY THAT WE CAN SHOW 39:02 OUR LOVE IS BY FORGIVENESS AND RESTORATION. 39:06 AND SO WE'LL JOURNEY DEEPER INTO THE LESSON AND WE'LL LEARN ABOUT 39:10 A POWERFUL EXAMPLE OF THIS FORGIVENESS AND RESTORATION. 39:15 IF YOU REMEMBER PETE ERR WAS -- WELL, CHRIST TOLD PETER THAT HE 39:21 WAS GOING TO DENY CHRIST 3 TIMES AND PETER DENIED THE FACT THAT 39:25 HE WAS GOING TO DENY CHRIST THREE TIMES. 39:55 SO WHEN THEY HAD EATEN BREAKFAST JESUS SAID TO SIMON PETER,ING 40:01 SIMON SON OF JONAH, DOYOU LOVE ME MORE THAN THESE. 40:04 HE SAID YOU KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU. 40:07 HE SAID TO HIM, FEED MY LAMB. HE SAID TO HIM AGAIN, A SECOND 40:11 TIME, SIMON SON OF JONAH DO YOU LOVE ME. 40:14 HE SAID TO HIM, YES, LORD, YOU KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU. 40:18 HE SAID TO HIM, TEND MY SHEEP. HE SAID TO HIM THE THIRD TIME, 40:23 SIMON SON OF JONAH, DO YOU LOVE ME? 40:29 PETER WAS GRIEVED BECAUSE HE SAID SAID HIM THE THIRD TIME, DO 40:30 YOU LOVE ME. YOU NO I IMAGINE IN MY MIND THAT 40:34 PETER IS PROBABLY HAVING LIKE FLASHBACKS LIKE OH MAN I DENIED 40:40 HIM THREE TIMES AND THEN HE JUST ASKED DO YOU LOE ME THREE TIMES 40:44 AND YOU KNOW, I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THAT FEELING OF GUILT. 40:50 BUT CHRIST IS DOING SUCH A BEAUTIFUL THING HERE. AND GOING 40:55 BACK TO VERSE 17 AND H SAID TO HIM, LORD, YOU KNOW ALL THINGS 40:59 YOU KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU. JESUS SAID TO HIM, FEED MY 41:04 SHEEP. MOST ASSUREDLY I SAID TO YOU, 41:10 YOU WALKED WHERE YOU WISH BUT WHEN YOU ARE OLD YOU'LL STRETCH 41:13 OUT YOUR HANDS AND ANOTHER WILL GUIDE YOU AND CARE REQUIRE YOU 41:15 WHERE YOU DO NOT WISH. THIS HE SPOKE SIGNIFYING BY WHAT 41:22 DEATH HE WOULD GLORIFY GOD. HE SAID FOLLOW ME. 41:30 THE ULTIMATE DISPLAY OF LOVE CAN BE FOUND IN ROMANS CHAPTER 5 41:36 VERSUS 6-HEAT. ROMANS CHAPTER 5 VERSUS 6-8. 41:41 IN FACT I WANT TO GO 6-10. LET'S DO ROMAN CHAPTER 5 VERSUS 41:49 6-10. FOR WHEN WE ARE STILL WITHOUT 41:53 STRENGTH CHRIST DIED FOR THE UN-GODLY AND FOR OUR RIGHTEOUS 41:58 MAN WILL ONE DIE YET PERHAPS FOR A GOOD MAN SOMEONE WOULD EVEN 42:02 DARE TO TIE. BUT GOD DEMONSTRATES HIS OWN 42:05 LOVE TOWARD US AND WHILE WE WERE STILL SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR 42:10 US. AND THINK ABOUT THAT. 42:12 WHILE WE WERE STILL SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US. 42:14 WHEN WE WERE MAKING MISTAKES, WHEN WE TURNED OUR BACK ON GOD, 42:20 HE STILL DIED FOR OUR SINS. HE DIED FOR THE VERY PEOPLE WHO 42:24 WERE PERSECUTING HIM. CONTINUING ON IN VERSE 9. 42:28 MUCH MORE THAN HAVING NOW THAN JUST IDENTIFIED BY HIS BLOOD, WE 42:34 SHALL BE SAVED THROUGH WRATH THROUGH HIM. 42:35 IF FOR WHEN WE WERE ENEMIES, WE WERE RECONCILED TO GOD THROUGH 42:41 THE DEATH OF HIS SON MUCH MORE HAVING BEEN RECONCILED WE SHALL 42:48 BE SAVED BY HIS LIFE. THE INTERESTING THING IS THAT 43:13 YOU KNOW, WE LOVE CHRIST BECAUSE HE FIRST LOVED US. 44:03 WE ARE GETTING TO KNOW DETERMINE WHAT THEIR NEEDS ARE AND MEET 44:07 THEIR NEEDS. WHAT IS THIS LOVE COMPELLING US 44:09 TO DO. BECAUSE IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO BE A 44:14 CHRISTIAN IN NAME ONLY. BECAUSE THAT LACKS POWER. 44:17 OUR POWER COMES FROM GOD. WE NEED TO CARRY OUT THE MISSION 44:26 THAT GOD HAS GIVEN US. HIS LOVE THAT BESTOWS UPON US 44:30 WILL MANIFEST ITSELF IN OUR ACTIONS. 44:32 WE HAVE TO SHOW IT IN OUR ACTIONS. 44:35 SO I LOVE THAT MATTHEW CHAPTER 25 WHEN I WAS HUNGRY YOU FED ME. 44:40 AND WE ALL KNOW I LIKE FOOD SO I PARTICULARLY HAVE A DEEP 44:47 APPRECIATION FOR THAT PASSAGE AS WELL. 44:52 IT'S SO IMPORTANT BECAUSE I THINK SOMETIMES WE CAN TEND TO 44:56 JUST SAY I'LL PRAY FOR YOU. YOU SEE SOMEBODY OUT THERE THAT 45:04 ARE HUNGRY AND YOU SAY I PRAY FOR YOU MEANWHILE YOU'RE EATING 45:11 YOUR 5 COURSE OR YOU SEE SOMEBODY COLD WITH NO COAT AND 45:15 YOU HAVE SEVERAL IN YOUR CLOSET AND YOU PRAY THAT THEY'LL WARM 45:19 UP. WHERE IS THE ACTION? 45:20 PERHAPS YOU NEED FORGIVENESS OR RESTORATION. 45:23 MAYBE YOU WRONGED SOMEBODY OR DONE SOMETHING THAT HAS WRONGED 45:26 CHRIST. TIME TO GO TO HIM AND ASK HIM 45:29 FOR FORGIVENESS. TAKE IT IN FAITH. 45:32 AND LET HIS LOVE COMPEL YOU. YOUR LOVE FOR HIM COMPEL YOU TO 45:38 ACT AND TO SHOW THAT TO THE WORLD. 45:41 >> AMEN. THANK YOU, JAY. 45:43 I LOVE THIS LESSON. IT'S AN INCREDIBLE LESSON. 45:47 I KNOW THE TITLE BUT TO ME IT'S ALL ABOUT COMMITMENT I LOVE THE 46:02 COMMITMENT. ON THURSDAY IT'S ABOUT 46:07 COMMITMENT AGAIN BEFORE WE UNPACK THIS LESSON, I WANT TO 46:11 REMIND YOU THAT THE NEXT HALF HOUR WE'LL BE LIVE WITH YOUR 46:22 QUESTIONS PERTAINING TO ANYTHING WE DISCUSSED HERE TODAY OR 46:26 ALWAYS TEXT US THE NUMBER IS RIGHT THERE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE 46:33 SCREEN WE HOPE WE GET AS MANY OF THOSE IN THE NEXT HALF HOUR AND 46:39 WE LOVE TO ANSWER THEM. SO LOVES COMMITMENT IS 46:43 THURSDAY'S LESSON. IF YOU KNEW WHAT THE FUTURE 46:47 HELD, WOULD YOU MAKE THE SAME DECISIONS TODAY? 46:50 IF YOU KNEW YOUR SPOUSE WOULD GET CANCER AND DIE, WOULD YOU 46:54 STILL MARRY THEM. IF YOU KNEW YOUR FRIEND WOULD WE 46:57 TRAY YOU WOULD YOU TRUST THEM IN YOUR HEART. 47:00 IF YOU KNEW YOUR CHILDREN WOULD WALK AWAY FROM GOD, WOULD YOU 47:04 STILL HAVE THEM? IF YOU KNEW YOU WOULD LOSE YOUR 47:08 JOB WOULD YOU STILL GIVE IT YOUR ALL? 47:10 IF YOU KNEW YOU WOULD HAVE AN ACCIDENT, WOULD YOU STILL GO ON 47:14 THAT TRIP? IF YOU KNEW SOMEONE WOULD ACCEPT 47:18 JESUS, WOULD YOU WITNESS TO THEM? 47:20 IF YOU YOU KNEW YOUR SERVICE AS A MISSIONARY WOULD END UP IN YOU 47:25 BEING KILLED, WOULD YOU STILL GO ANYWAY? 47:28 IF YOU KNEW WHAT THE FUTURE WOULD HOLD WOULD YOU STILL MAKE 47:32 THOSE SAME DECISIONS TODAY? LOVE COMMITMENT KNOWING THAT THE 48:21 FAIR HAD GIVEN ALL THINGS IN HIS HANDS AND HE COME FROM TWOED AND 48:23 GOING TO GOD. TOOK A TOWEL AND GERDED HIMSELF. 48:31 JOHN COULD HAVE SIMPLY SAID JESUS ROSE FROM SUPPER AND TOOK 48:34 THE TOWEL AND BEGAN TO WASH THE FEET. 48:38 BUT BEFORE THAT HE'S VERY SPECIFIC. 49:14 WITH WITH THAT KNOWLEDGE HE WOULD BECOME A MAN. 49:21 GOD IN FLESH. ANOTHER WILL GERD YOU MEANING 49:51 HE'S GOING TO BE BOUND AS A CRIMINAL WE KNOW THAT PETER WAS 49:57 CRUCIFIED. THAT'S HOW HIS LIFE WAS ENDED. 49:59 AND THEY'LL KEURRY YOU WHERE YOU DO NOT WISH. 50:06 WHEN HE SPOKEN THIS HE SAYS FOLLOW ME. 50:07 WHEN I READ THAT PASSAGE, IN OTHER WORDS, I SEE JESUS IS NOT 50:12 SAYING, OKAY, PETER FOLLOW ME AND I WANT YOU TO SERVE ME AND 50:16 ALL THESE INCREDIBLE THINGS WILL WE HAPPEN. 50:18 HE'S SAYING, FOLLOW ME. YOU'RE GONNA DIE. 50:22 DO YOU STILL WANT TO FOLLOW ME. PETER MADE A CHOICE TO SERVE 50:39 JESUS. HE OFFERED HIM LIFE'S GREATEST 50:44 JOY. PETER WOULD EXPERIENCE 50:46 PENTECOST, ACTS CHAPTER 2. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ACCEPTING 50:49 THE GOSPEL MESSAGE. HE WOULD EXPERIENCE MIRACLES AND 50:52 THE DEAD WOULD COME TO LIFE AND LAYMEN WOULD WALK AGAIN AND SEE 50:56 THE CONVERSION OF THE GENTILES. I'M THINKING OF CORNELIUS. 51:03 BUT WITH THAT PRIVILEGE CAME A PRICE. 51:06 IT WOULD DEMAND A SAOBG FILES, THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE. 51:10 PETER WAS ASKED TO MAKE THAT COMMITMENT WITH HIS EYES WIDE 51:14 OPEN. FOR PETER NOW KNEW THAT NO 51:20 SACRIFICE WAS TOO GREAT. IF WE ARE WILLING TO DO THAT, 51:40 ARE WE WILLING DO THAT WITH EYES WIDE OPEN? 51:45 KNOWING THAT WITH THIS DECISION WITH THIS COMMITMENT COMES A 51:50 COST. LET'S LOOK AT THE 6TH 51:51 COMMITMENTS THAT WE MAKE HERE. NUMBER ONE, DECIDE TO FOLLOW 51:59 JESUS. JOSHUA 24:15. 52:00 THAT HE AT FIRST COMMITMENT ANYONE NEEDS TO MAKE. 52:03 JUST A SIMPLE DECISION TO FOLLOW JESUS. 52:07 IF IT SEEMS EVIL TO YOU, CHOOSE THIS DAY WHO YOU WILL SERVE. 52:14 YOUR GODS THAT YOUR FATHER SERVED O THE GODS OF THE AMOR 52:46 AMORITE. BE WILLING TO FOLLOW SKRAOE SUS 52:49 COME WHAT MAY. THAT'S A SERIOUS COMMITMENT. 52:51 IT'S EASY TO SAY I'LL FOLLOW YOU WHEN LIFE IS PLEASANT. 52:57 BUT ARE YOU WILLING TO FOLLOW JESUS NO MATTER WHAT. 53:08 WITH CAN HIS DISCIPLES HE SAID WHOEVER DESIRES TO COME AFTER ME 53:12 LET HIM DENY HIMSELF. TAKE UP HIS CROSS AND FOLLOW ME. 53:16 COMMITMENT NUMBER 4, BE WILLING TO LOVE OTHERS. 53:22 PSALM 13:35. BUT THIS ALL WILL KNOW THAT 53:26 YOU'RE MY DISCIPLE. IF YOU HAVE LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER 53:31 BE WILLING TO LOVE OTHERS. OF COURSE WE DON'T CREATE THAT 53:35 LOVE OURSELVES. WE GO TO GOD AND HE FILLS US 53:38 WITH HIS LOVE. IT'S HIS LOVE IN THE FIRST 53:41 PLACE. COMMITMENT NUMBER 5, BE WILLING 53:45 TO INTERCEDE FOR OTHERS. EZEKIEL 22 VERSE 30. 53:50 I THOUGHT FOR A MAN AMONG THEM WHO STANDS IN THE GAP BEFORE ME 53:56 ON BEHALF THE LAND THAT I SHOULD NOT DESTROY IT BUT I FOUND 54:04 NOBODY. GOD IS STANDING FOR YOU TO STAND 54:07 IN THE GAP FOR YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS. 54:10 ANSWER THE CALL. THAT'S COMMITMENT NUMBER 5. 54:14 COMMITMENT NUMBER 6. NEVER BE ASHAMED OF CHRIST. 54:20 HIS WORD OR HIS PEOPLE ROMANS 1:16. 54:24 I'M NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST FOR IT IS THE POWER OF 54:32 GOD TO EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES HE WROTE IN HIS JOURNAL, I AM SO 55:02 THANKFUL THAT I CAN STILL SERVE JESUS ONE MORE DAY. 55:09 AT THE TIME OF HIS DEATH THEY SAY THAT 25,000 CONVERTS TO 55:15 CHRISTIANITY WERE TRACED TO HIM AND HIS LEGACY. 55:18 WHY IS THAT? BECAUSE JAY HUDSON TAILOR-MADE A 55:22 COMMITMENT THAT LOVE COMMITMENT TO FOLLOW JESUS, TO SERVE HIM NO 55:27 MATTER THE COST. I THINK TODAY IN MY OWN HEART 55:31 AND LIFE I WANT TO REDEDICATE MY LIFE TO JESUS AND SAY GOD I'M 55:36 YOURS AND I WANT TO SERVE YOU COME WHAT MAY. 55:39 THAT IS A COMMITMENT THAT HE'S CALLING EACH ONE OF US TO MAKE. 55:42 >> AMEN. THANK YOU, JILL. 55:44 THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL. PHILIPPIANS 2:13 KEPT COMING TO 55:50 MY MIND THIS WHOLE IDEA OF A STEP OF FAITH. 55:53 HE SAYS, GOD WORKS AND PUTS THAT DESIRE IN OUR HEART BUT IT'S 55:57 WHEN WE TAKE A STEP OF FAITH, THAT GOD WILL WORK IN US TO DO. 56:03 BECAUSE WHEN WE STEP OUT AND SAY, THE HOLY SPIRIT SHOWS UP. 56:07 WHY DON'T AOEFPB ONE OF YOU TAKE A FEW SECONDS AND LEAVE US WITH 56:12 A FINAL THOUGHT. >> I'M GOING TO MATTHEW CHAPTER 56:17 9:37-38. THEN HE SAID TO HIS DISCIPLES 56:20 THE HARVEST IS PLENTIFUL BUT THE LABORERS ARE FEW. 56:25 THEREFORE TO SEND OUT LABORS INTO HIS HARVEST. 56:28 >> AMEN. >> JESUS US CALLING FOR LABORS 56:32 TO GO INTO HIS HARVEST. WILL YOU ACCEPT THAT CALL? 56:34 >> ABSOLUTELY. I'M REMINDED THAT LET THERE BE A 56:38 REVIVAL OF THE FAITH AND POWER OF THE EARLY CHURCH. 56:41 YOU KNOW, I JUST WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU MY FRIENDS, THAT 56:44 SAME SPIRIT THAT INSPIRED PAUL AND PETER AND DISCIPLES CAN BE 56:51 OURS TODAY. >> TIME IS SHORT AND OUR LOVE 56:54 FOR CHRIST COMPELS US TO DO SOMETHING FOR LOST HUMANITY. 56:57 IN THIS SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME, WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT EXACTLY HOW 57:02 TO BEST REACH PEOPLE. GET OUT THERE AND DO SOMETHING 57:04 FOR CHRIST. >> AMEN. 57:05 WE ALL HAVE A CALL ON OUR LIVES AND COMMITMENT TO MAKE TO MAKE A 57:12 CHOICE. >> AMAZING STUDY. 57:16 MY FINAL THOUGHT WOULD BE THE SELF-SACRIFICING LOVE OF GOD 57:19 THAT HE WOULD COME DOWN AND BECOME A MAN, DIE FOR US TO TAKE 57:27 IT AND HE TOOK THAT BACK TO HEAVEN WITH HIM AND HE IS THE 57:31 PERFECT MAN -- HUMAN REPRESENTATIVE AT THE THRONE OF 57:35 GOD. PLEASE STAY TUNED BECAUSE WE 57:37 HAVE GOT QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS COMING UP LIVE. 57:41 WE HOPE THAT YOU ALREADY TEXTED THEM IN. |
