1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,840 Speaker 1: Now. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the 2 00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: evidence of things not seen Hebrews eleven. One, Lord, when 3 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,520 Speaker 1: you give me a promise, I choose to believe I 4 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:17,119 Speaker 1: will see the full manifestation of what's hoped for.

By faith, I 8 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 1: believe in Jesus, by faith, my trust in your word. 9 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,159 Speaker 1: By faith, I believe what you say to me by 10 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: your spirit. My faith is what the enemy attacks, because 11 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 1: faith is my confidence and trust in you.

The darkness ran away from the light. 36 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 6: Light travels one hundred and eighty six thousand miles per second. 37 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 6: The only thing faster than light is darkness running away. 38 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 6: The Bible says that the Gospel is the power of 39 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 6: God unto salvation for everyone who believes. It is the 40 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 6: power of the Gospel that changes people's hearts. It's not 41 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 6: our intelligence, it's not our wit, it's not our personality, 42 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 6: it's not our sense of humor. 43 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 2: It is the power of the Gospel. 44 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 5: So when you're sharing the gospel, especially when people are 45 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 5: confronting you, you have to understand that the gospel has 46 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 5: its own power. You just need to be faithful to 47 00:02:59,240 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 5: share it clearly. 48 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 2: Watch this.

You could use them 83 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 5: to even teach guide someone through the training. And we 84 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 5: pray for supernatural salvation.

I haven't been outside of this so. 104 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 5: I've been in the dungeon for I think I got 105 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 5: his six thirty this morning and there was sixty something 106 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 5: degrees outside, So what is it seventy five something out there? 107 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 5: That I'm from New York, as many of y'all know, 108 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 5: so I like to FaceTime my friends in December and 109 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 5: take my computer and say, yo, check it out, and 110 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 5: looking to him, look outside of seven degrees outside. So anyway, 111 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 5: in nineteen sixty four, I was four years old, grew 112 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 5: up in Long Island and writing in Queens, which is 113 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 5: right near my house. There was a story about a 114 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 5: woman who was killed. She was attacked over a thirty 115 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,559 Speaker 5: minute period, and over that thirty minutes, the person attacked her, left, 116 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,239 Speaker 5: came back to attacked her again, left came back, attacked 117 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 5: her again. And while all this was going on, people 118 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,679 Speaker 5: were watching and listening, and no one did anything. 119 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 2: And so after she died, the police came. 120 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 5: And they interviewed all these people and there were thirty 121 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 5: eight people who actually could have done something and did nothing. 122 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 5: And they did a study, a psychological study on why 123 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 5: these people watched this emergency happen but didn't do anything, 124 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 5: and they developed this principle called the bystander effect, why 125 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 5: people don't do anything when an emergency is happening. We 126 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 5: can do the same thing watching someone live their life 127 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 5: without Jesus, it's an emergency. 128 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 2: They're going to die. We're all going to die, and just. 129 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 5: Newslash, y'all know that, right, Okay, everybody's going to die, 130 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 5: and it's going to happen. 131 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 2: It's coming. 132 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 5: So when it happens, don't be shocked, don't be mad 133 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 5: at God. We die because of sin in our life. 134 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 5: And the question is where are you going to go 135 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 5: after you die? So we all know people, And just 136 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 5: to take a poll, how many of you all know 137 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 5: people that would if they died today, they would go 138 00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 5: to hell. Just raise your hand, all of us, okay. 139 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 5: And by the way, not only are the people we know, 140 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 5: there are people you walk by at school and at work, 141 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 5: who are also in that condition, and when we find out, 142 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 5: what do we do about it? We're like the people 143 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 5: watching this lady get beat. We're not saying anything, and 144 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 5: it's an emergency. Now you may look at them and go, well, 145 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 5: they got a good job, they got a good family, 146 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 5: they make good money. That has nothing to do with it. 147 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 5: They're still going to go to hell if they die 148 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 5: without Christ. We have to understand that. And no matter 149 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 5: how much education, no matter how much comfort, how much 150 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 5: power authority they have in this world, it means absolutely nothing. 151 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 5: And so the question is why do we not do that? 152 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 5: Now here's the reasons people don't respond in emergency. Number one, 153 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 5: when they did this study social influence. They think of well, 154 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:48,959 Speaker 5: if you're not going to do anything, I'm not going. 155 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 2: To do anything. It must not be that important. Or 156 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,079 Speaker 2: fear of making a mistake. 157 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 5: Maybe I'm not seeing a tragedy, maybe it's not as 158 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 5: bad as I think. Or fear of danger I want 159 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 5: to get involved because I may get hurt. I was 160 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 5: driving down the five Freeway about a year ago, right 161 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 5: in Mission Valley, right near Claremont and the Bay, and 162 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 5: all of a sudden, cars started to stop, and this 163 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 5: car was totally stopped and not on the side. It 164 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 5: was like in the second lane over and a little 165 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 5: kid three years old jumped out the window onto the freeway, 166 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 5: is knocked out on the freeway, and I'm watching this 167 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 5: going I'm not seeing this right now, And so sometimes 168 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 5: you can see something and not even believe what you're seeing. 169 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 5: So anyway, I stopped, I tried to pin the car in, 170 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 5: and these ladies got the baby and they were all frantic, 171 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 5: and I followed them, called the cops on. But the 172 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 5: question is why don't people do things when they see something. 173 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 5: Fear of danger in themselves, lack of personal connection. It's 174 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 5: not my family, those aren't my people. I ain't getting 175 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 5: involved in that. Or and this is probably the ultimate one, 176 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 5: it's not my responsibility. It's not my responsibility. That's the 177 00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 5: police job. Sharing the gospel is the past, it's a job. 178 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 5: The same reasons we don't share our faith, the reasons 179 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 5: we don't share our faith are unbiblical. It's not even 180 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 5: a biblical that you don't share your faith. It's unbiblical 181 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 5: that you don't share your faith. So my goal today 182 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 5: as we start this series, is to convince you that the. 183 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 2: Bible says you should do it, not just Miles says it. Now. 184 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 2: I'm fired up about it. I'm passionate about it. I've 185 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 2: always been. 186 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 5: As a matter of fact, the Bible says that God 187 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 5: in Ephesias, chapter four and verse eleven, God gave some 188 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 5: to be apostles, prophets, evangelists, passes, and teachers for the 189 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 5: equipping of the saints for the work and the ministry. 190 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 5: So I'm not an evangelist so I can just preach 191 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 5: the gospel. Part of my role as an evangelist is 192 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 5: to equip you to share your faith. And so I 193 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 5: hope at the end of the day this message that 194 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 5: from reading the scripture you go, you know what, I'm 195 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,559 Speaker 5: really supposed to do this? Then you have to decide 196 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 5: are you going to not obey me. I'm not asking 197 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 5: you to obey me, whether you're going to obey the 198 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 5: word of God. And say, now, if you say I'm 199 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 5: gonna obey the word of God, guess what God says, 200 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 5: I'm now your backup. 201 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 2: I got you. 202 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 5: Because God is never gonna tell you to do something 203 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 5: that he's not gonna support you to do. He's never 204 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 5: gonna tell you to do something he's not gonna empower 205 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,839 Speaker 5: you to do And so that's the great news about it. 206 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:18,959 Speaker 5: We're not asking you to do something by yourself. We're 207 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 5: asking you to join God in something that he is 208 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 5: passionate about. And so my prayers that you say, Okay, 209 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 5: I'm gonna do it. Then at the end of the service, 210 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 5: we're gonna have you sign up. We already have sixty 211 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:30,959 Speaker 5: two hundred people signed up. 212 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 2: Come up with church. 213 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 5: Come on church, because you're gonna do this with your 214 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 5: gospel partner, which is someone You're gonna watch you a 215 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 5: video like the one you just saw it, and then 216 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,319 Speaker 5: you're gonna do exercise together. Then you're gonna watch a 217 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,199 Speaker 5: video similarly it's like you saw. Then you're gonna do 218 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,439 Speaker 5: exercise and you're gonna learn these little principles and you're 219 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 5: gonna go that's it, and that's right. We made it 220 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,559 Speaker 5: so simple. It's you know, I heard it the other day. 221 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 5: It's amazing. I didn't believe what I heard. I had 222 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 5: to ask this person five times to say what they said. 223 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 5: There was a guy who actually ate he ate a car. Yeah, 224 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 5: I know, that's why I said. 225 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 2: I said no, no, like it was a chocolate He said no, 226 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 2: it was a real car. He ate a car. 227 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 5: He broke it up into such tiny pieces he was 228 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 5: able to digest this. I don't know what would possess 229 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 5: someone to want to do that, but this is kind 230 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,679 Speaker 5: of similar. We're gonna give you these little pieces that 231 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,319 Speaker 5: are very simple for you to process that you can 232 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 5: go do. Matter of fact, at the end of today's message, 233 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 5: you're gonna see a skip that's gonna illustrate some of. 234 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 2: The things we're talking about. 235 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 5: Okay, Number one, in order for you to accept this 236 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 5: woman he's here. 237 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 2: The five things you're gonna learn. 238 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 5: Number one, you're gonna learn how to share your testimony, 239 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 5: which is my story. Throughout this training, you're gonna learn 240 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 5: how to share the Gospel nine. These are nine words 241 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 5: that the Gospel is framed around and understanding these night 242 00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 5: words are gonna help you discuss the gospel, help you 243 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 5: personalize it to yourself and to the person you're talking to. 244 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 5: You're gonna learn the salvation AVCS. I think I told 245 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 5: you before. My two year old granddaughter is in the 246 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 5: video helping you learn how to do the Salvation AVCS. 247 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 5: She's two. I know you think of how is that possible? 248 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 5: You gotta get the video. Check it out, and then 249 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 5: you're gonna learn fire drill. 250 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 2: Fire drill. You just saw a piece of it. 251 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 5: Fire drill are the lessons to help you deal with 252 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 5: tough conversations, confrontation which, by the way, you probably you 253 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 5: may get confronted. I've shared my faith for forty years 254 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,840 Speaker 5: and being confronted is very rare. However, there are things 255 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 5: that you can do. You'll learn some of them today. 256 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 5: And what happens when people question you, question your integrity 257 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 5: very simple ways to address that. Matter of fact, there 258 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 5: are six sessions in the training. The only thing in 259 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 5: every session is fire drill. We just continue to give 260 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 5: you resources and resources on how to answer questions. 261 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 2: Amen. 262 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 5: Okay, three things. Three things that I want you to 263 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 5: believe today. Number one, when you ask, when you ask 264 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 5: Christ to become your savior, you want, of your purposes 265 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 5: to become who Jesus is. Everyone say become who Jesus is. 266 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 5: Say love who Jesus loves, Say do what Jesus does. Okay, 267 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 5: let's say one more time and take a deep breath in. 268 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 5: Let's hear some power in here. Say become who Jesus is. 269 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 5: Say love who Jesus loves. Say do what Jesus does. 270 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 2: Excellent. 271 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 5: In philosophy, there is there are four laws of logic. 272 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 5: Later in the end of the year, I'm going to 273 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 5: start a series on apologetics and it's going to go 274 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 5: for about a year or two. And one of the 275 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 5: topics are is the law of logic. There are four 276 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 5: laws of logic. These laws of logic govern rational thought. 277 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 5: When you violate these laws, you're not having a rational conversation. 278 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 5: You just talking nonsense. So these laws govern rational conversation 279 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 5: and rational thought. And one of the laws is the 280 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 5: law of identity. And the law of identity says that 281 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 5: a thing is identical to itself, nothing else. When you 282 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 5: start to identify with something that you are not, that's illogical. 283 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 5: It defies logic, it doesn't make any sense. In other words, 284 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 5: this is a book. If all of a sudden I said, 285 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 5: this is a table, that's not logical, because it's not. 286 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 2: It's a book. 287 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 5: This is a table. The table is identical to itself. 288 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 5: God said in Exodus three fourteen, I am that I am. 289 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 5: He didn't say I am where you are? He says, 290 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 5: I am that I am. He was He is identical 291 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 5: to himself. Every single one of you needs to be 292 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 5: identical to who you are, not who you're not you 293 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 5: ever hear people say they identify as something other than themselves, 294 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 5: that's illogical. 295 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 2: That's not what you are. This building all I can't 296 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 2: say all. 297 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 5: This building is as. 298 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 2: A plane hanger. It's not that. 299 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 5: And the devil would always want to confuse you about 300 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 5: your identity so he can confuse you about your purpose. 301 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 5: How you should view yourself matter of fact, when Jesus 302 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 5: was in the desert, and he fasted forty days and 303 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 5: forty nights, and the Satan himself came up to them, said, 304 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 5: if you are the son of God, turned these stones 305 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 5: of bread. What he was challenging in was his identity. 306 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 5: Jesus says, listen, I am so clear and who I am. 307 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 5: I don't need to prove it to you. And when 308 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 5: you are clear, matter of fact, when and I'll say 309 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 5: this about ladies, this is true of guys too, but 310 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 5: probably more so with ladies, in the sense of looking 311 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 5: for a guy, that if you don't understand your value, 312 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 5: you will settle for a guy here when you are 313 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 5: worth this, but something has convinced you that you are 314 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 5: not as worthy of a guy up here, and I'm 315 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 5: talking about a guy know, with intelligence. He's got a job, 316 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 5: he's got purpose, he's got clarity. 317 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 2: But he's gonna treat you good. 318 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 5: So you'll settle for something less because the devil has 319 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 5: convinced you you don't deserve that because you are down here. 320 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:10,920 Speaker 2: Does that make sense, y'all? 321 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 5: So it's very clear for you to understand your identity. Now, 322 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 5: how is this relevant? 323 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 2: When you when you give your life, when you give 324 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 2: your life. 325 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 5: To Jesus Christ, you all of a sudden have surrendered 326 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:30,640 Speaker 5: to him your identity in exchange for his identity. Oh, 327 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 5: we get ready to hit it. We getting ready to 328 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,119 Speaker 5: get someone on some toes in a minute. In other words, 329 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 5: you you have, you have surrendered your rights to do 330 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,400 Speaker 5: what you want. You say, Jesus, I'm surrendering my life 331 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,120 Speaker 5: to you. Now I want to be like you. Your 332 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 5: new identity is Christ himself. Now, Christ himself is going 333 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,640 Speaker 5: to express himself through your personality, through your body, through 334 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,120 Speaker 5: your swag lack of swag, through your through your sense 335 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,959 Speaker 5: of humor lack of sense of humor. However, he created 336 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 5: you in his image, so he can live through you. 337 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,199 Speaker 5: But it's him living through you, not you living through you. 338 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 5: I'm gonna say that.

I ain't got no 510 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 5: time for I'm not sharing my faith because I got 511 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:50,160 Speaker 5: it too easy. 512 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:54,120 Speaker 2: Let me tell you something, woo, be careful, Be careful. 513 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 5: Jesus says, you want to love somebody, be willing to 514 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 5: die for them. Now that's a stretch for us. Those 515 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 5: people in Iran, they are pursuing God at the risk 516 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 5: of their life. What are you willing to sacrifice on 517 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 5: behalf of somebody else? So number three, you gotta be 518 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 5: who Jesus is. You gotta love who Jesus loves. And lastly, 519 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 5: if I'm a Christian. The Bible says, I gotta do 520 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 5: what Jesus did Luke four forty three. I must preach 521 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,119 Speaker 5: the Kingdom of God to the other cities, because for 522 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 5: this purpose I have been sent. They're like, hey, Jesus, 523 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 5: go over here, we're gonna have a little Bible stay. 524 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no no. 525 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 5: I was sent to preach the Kingdom of God the 526 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 5: people who don't know Jesus, people who are going to hell. 527 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:50,239 Speaker 5: That's why I'm here, news flash, telling his disciples. That's 528 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,959 Speaker 5: what this is about, Luke nineteen ten. For the Son 529 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 5: of Man talking about himself, the Son of Man has 530 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 5: come to seek and say that which is lost. If 531 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 5: you have been saved, then you're not lost anymore. And 532 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 5: so if you're walking with your savior, guess what he's doing. 533 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 5: He ain't looking for you, you already found. He's looking 534 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 5: for people who had lost. How do we not do that? 535 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,920 Speaker 5: If that's what he's doing, If we have become him 536 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,679 Speaker 5: and we're trying to strive to be like him. 537 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 2: Love like him, love who he loves, that's what he's doing. 538 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 5: Look at the Bible says in Mark chapter two, verse seventeen. 539 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 5: He says, those who are well have no need of 540 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 5: a physician, but those who are sick. I did not 541 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:33,879 Speaker 5: come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. And 542 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 5: the last one, well, the second. The last one follow me, 543 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 5: and I will make you fishes of men. If I'm 544 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 5: a Jesus follower and I'm not fishing for men, maybe 545 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 5: I have to question whether I'm. 546 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 2: Really a Jesus follower. I will tell you any wrong. 547 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 5: I haven't been to Iran, and i haven't been to 548 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 5: an underground church, so I'm speaking from conjecture. 549 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 2: But I would guess this. 550 00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 5: Is just my guess that those people risking their life 551 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 5: to go into the underground church. 552 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 2: You probably. 553 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 5: Have less doubt whether they love Christ than people in 554 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 5: our country who kind of go to church whenever, because 555 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 5: their commitment is on their life, is on the life. 556 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 2: For their commitment. People could say they're a follow of Christ, 557 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 2: but really do they pray? Do they serve? They give? 558 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 5: Do they share their faith? Do they do what Jesus 559 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 5: is doing? And lastly, one Corinthians three sixty nine, I 560 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 5: planted a policy warned, but God gave the growth. The 561 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 5: real success is not that you go through the training 562 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 5: and get someone saved. That's going to be great. I 563 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 5: believe that will happen if you share enough. But the 564 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 5: real success is that you share. Let God take care 565 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 5: of the result. It says here, so neither he who 566 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 5: plants nor he who water this is anything, but only 567 00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 5: God who gives the growth. He who plants, and he 568 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 5: ward is on one. And each will receive his wages 569 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 5: according to his labor. For we o God's fellows workers. 570 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 5: You are God's field, God's building. The test not the test. 571 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,719 Speaker 5: But the goal is really to take the information, learn 572 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 5: the information and just share it with your friends. Go 573 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 5: share the gospel, share your testimony, invite people to church 574 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 5: and bite, offer them to pray, offer to pray for them. 575 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 5: Watch what God happens. The goal is definitely not to 576 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 5: allow the devil to tighten up your lip so you 577 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:33,080 Speaker 5: don't say anything. So before we have our skit come out, 578 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 5: I want to take one more chance and one more 579 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 5: opportunity to ask you to sign up for the training.

You get to join Christ in that. 679 00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:42,840 Speaker 7: What are your fears? 680 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:47,000 Speaker 10: There's literally so many, so many things could go wrong, 681 00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,319 Speaker 10: whether it's getting asked a question that I don't know 682 00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:54,799 Speaker 10: the answer to, or I mean, God forbid that they 683 00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:59,439 Speaker 10: would challenge me personally and then I would get called 684 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,920 Speaker 10: a hypocrite or not know what to say and freeze 685 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,040 Speaker 10: up or just reject me entirely. 686 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,239 Speaker 9: There's literally so many things that could go wrong. I'm 687 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:08,799 Speaker 9: good like. 688 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,080 Speaker 7: No, no, I feel you. I feel I kind of 689 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,920 Speaker 7: struggle with the same thing. But that's why you need 690 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,160 Speaker 7: the training, because they have the fire drill there to 691 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:19,240 Speaker 7: help you navigate through all of those obstacles. For example, 692 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,720 Speaker 7: you mentioned about being a hypocrite. They have this Whitney 693 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,719 Speaker 7: Houston analogy. I'll share with you. But you know who 694 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:25,640 Speaker 7: Whitney Houston. 695 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,320 Speaker 9: Is, right, of course, I know who Whitney. Kind of 696 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 9: question is that. 697 00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:30,400 Speaker 7: I mean, you're kind of young, so I don't know. 698 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:34,200 Speaker 7: I just want to make sure. But Whitney Houston phenomenal singer, 699 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,720 Speaker 7: right you heard anyone try to sing like her? Try 700 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,479 Speaker 7: exactly Try is a keyword. Try, but kind of fail. 701 00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:45,200 Speaker 7: They're like a gre't four out of ten exactly Well. 702 00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 7: In the same way, we as Christians are trying to 703 00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,759 Speaker 7: emulate Jesus as best we can. We might fall short 704 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,160 Speaker 7: at times, which doesn't give an excuse for sin, but 705 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,000 Speaker 7: it might be able to explain some of the things 706 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:55,520 Speaker 7: that people are seeing from Christians. 707 00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:57,239 Speaker 9: That makes a lot of sense. 708 00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,400 Speaker 3: I like that, man, Do you think you can recite 709 00:36:59,440 --> 00:36:59,680 Speaker 3: that back? 710 00:36:59,719 --> 00:36:59,920 Speaker 2: To me. 711 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,520 Speaker 9: Yeah, it probably could. Seems simple enough. 712 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm listening right now, right now, let me hear it. 713 00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:11,879 Speaker 9: Right now now. Okay, So you know Mariah Carrey. 714 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:13,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, I know Mariah Carey. 715 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:13,359 Speaker 2: Yeah. 716 00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,600 Speaker 9: Have you ever heard someone try to sing like her? 717 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,200 Speaker 3: I have, and how they do terrible? 718 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:20,440 Speaker 9: Yeah, they're just not Mariah Carey. 719 00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,080 Speaker 10: So in the same way that someone would attempt to 720 00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:28,640 Speaker 10: sound like Mariah Carey, Christians are trying to sound and. 721 00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:29,680 Speaker 9: Be like Jesus. 722 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:35,120 Speaker 10: But obviously we're not him and we fall short. And 723 00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:39,200 Speaker 10: this doesn't excuse hypocritical behavior, but it does explain that 724 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:43,000 Speaker 10: we are all on this journey, this process to become 725 00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:43,839 Speaker 10: more like Him. 726 00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:45,680 Speaker 9: But sure we fall short. 727 00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:47,880 Speaker 10: But that's why we need him, That's why we need 728 00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:49,719 Speaker 10: the Gospels. 729 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:53,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, they did, you did perfect, You did perfect. 730 00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,160 Speaker 7: Tell you what the best thing about this training is 731 00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:56,480 Speaker 7: that you get a gospel partner. 732 00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:58,879 Speaker 3: So I will be your gospel's partner if. 733 00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:00,520 Speaker 10: You do it, okay, I mean, if you'll do it 734 00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,000 Speaker 10: with me. I feel like that would make things a 735 00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,040 Speaker 10: lot better and I could probably I could probably do. 736 00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:09,000 Speaker 9: Something like that. Let's sure, why not, let's do it. 737 00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:09,759 Speaker 3: Let's do it. 738 00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,960 Speaker 5: So the Whinney Houston, illustration and things like that are 739 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:25,360 Speaker 5: some of the tools you're going to learn to respond 740 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,799 Speaker 5: to people. You're also going to learn that whenever you 741 00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,880 Speaker 5: get in the conversation and get asked a question, you 742 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,320 Speaker 5: don't always have to have an answer. You just have 743 00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:36,319 Speaker 5: to have a response, and sometimes the response is I 744 00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,839 Speaker 5: don't know. Sometimes the response is can I get back 745 00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:40,680 Speaker 5: to you, So you don't have to feel the pressure 746 00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,040 Speaker 5: to be right and have the right answer all the time, 747 00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:44,920 Speaker 5: which takes a lot of pressure off. And Eve, if 748 00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,319 Speaker 5: someone says to you, I caught you curseon, you could 749 00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,279 Speaker 5: have to All you have to say is my bad 750 00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,920 Speaker 5: and I got to do better. So we want to 751 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:55,120 Speaker 5: help you navigate and go into these conversations with tools 752 00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,120 Speaker 5: that you can use to get to the point where 753 00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,840 Speaker 5: you're sharing the gospel. Amen, there are some of you, 754 00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:02,480 Speaker 5: and maybe you need to ask Christ. As you're saying, 755 00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:05,160 Speaker 5: you may have come here today ready to give your 756 00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:07,040 Speaker 5: life to Christ, or since you've been here you're like, 757 00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:08,560 Speaker 5: you know what, I think it is time for me 758 00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:09,840 Speaker 5: to get my life right with God. 759 00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:11,280 Speaker 2: So Julian and Emma. 760 00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:12,440 Speaker 5: Are going to share the gospel with you, and I 761 00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,200 Speaker 5: asked you to give them your full attention. 762 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:21,200 Speaker 3: So, family, how are we doing all right? My name 763 00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:22,960 Speaker 3: is Julian, I'm twenty one years old. 764 00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:26,399 Speaker 11: This is my incredible girlfriend, Emma, she's nineteen, and we've 765 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,560 Speaker 11: both been a part of the Rock Church Young Adults 766 00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:32,040 Speaker 11: community for about two years now. So the gospel is 767 00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,800 Speaker 11: that God created man in his image to live in 768 00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:38,200 Speaker 11: loving relationship with him. But because of our sinful nature 769 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,600 Speaker 11: and because God wanted there to be free will, he 770 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:44,360 Speaker 11: didn't want to force himself on us. We made that 771 00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:47,759 Speaker 11: choice to rebel against him, and so we ruined that 772 00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:50,760 Speaker 11: opportunity that we had at relationship with him. Because God's 773 00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:54,480 Speaker 11: standard is perfection, and so therefore God noted that he 774 00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:56,840 Speaker 11: realized we need a savior, and he became man in 775 00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,440 Speaker 11: Jesus Christ. He came down on earth, living as a 776 00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:04,279 Speaker 11: perfect rule, demonstrating a life without sin. Later, he was 777 00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:07,040 Speaker 11: a perfect ransom, dying the death that we should have 778 00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,960 Speaker 11: died in our place, and then proving that there is 779 00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:11,160 Speaker 11: life after death. 780 00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:12,759 Speaker 3: He rose on the third day. 781 00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:16,120 Speaker 11: And so family, if you haven't received salvation, you can 782 00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:19,040 Speaker 11: do that today if you would just repent and believe 783 00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,680 Speaker 11: that he did those things, believe that he died for you. 784 00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,319 Speaker 11: And he paid the penalty for your sins. But the 785 00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:25,800 Speaker 11: question is are you ready. 786 00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,080 Speaker 12: If you are ready to receive this gift of salvation, 787 00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:31,160 Speaker 12: in a minute, we're going to say a prayer, and 788 00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:34,920 Speaker 12: it's as simple as abc A admit that you're a sinner, 789 00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,200 Speaker 12: b believe that Jesus died on the cross and rose 790 00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:41,600 Speaker 12: from the grave, and see confess Jesus as your savior. 791 00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,080 Speaker 12: Romans eight thirty seven says that we have become more 792 00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:48,880 Speaker 12: than conquerors through Christ Jesus, that neither death nor life, 793 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,760 Speaker 12: no height, no depth, nor anything in all of creation 794 00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:55,160 Speaker 12: could ever separate us from the love of God. There's 795 00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:58,640 Speaker 12: somebody sitting here today who's heard the gospel, but you're 796 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:01,239 Speaker 12: thinking to yourself that you're just too far gone, that 797 00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:03,440 Speaker 12: your sin is too dark, that you're not worthy of 798 00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,239 Speaker 12: receiving this gift for yourself. But God wants you to 799 00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,719 Speaker 12: know today that there's nothing that you could ever do 800 00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:12,000 Speaker 12: to separate his love from you.
