WEBVTT

18:04.400 --> 18:07.400
1-0, near the cross.

18:18.700 --> 18:20.700
Hymn number 10. Let's sing it out all together.

21:53.000 --> 21:57.400
for another opportunity as always to gather together that we just would not take this for granted.

21:57.800 --> 22:01.720
Lord, I just thank you for leading us to the salvations that we had this evening,

22:01.720 --> 22:05.000
as well as the seeds that were planted, that you would just fill them with your spirit, help them

22:05.000 --> 22:09.720
find a good church, get into a good church, this church, Lord, preferably, and that they wouldn't

22:09.720 --> 22:14.120
be choked out by the world. For this service, Lord, I pray that everything would just be done

22:14.120 --> 22:18.760
decently in an order, that you would incline your ear to us as we sing out praises unto you,

22:18.760 --> 22:22.200
and that you would open our ears to the message and fill pasture with your spirit.

22:22.200 --> 22:24.200
These things we pray in Jesus name, amen.

22:25.200 --> 22:39.040
For our next hymn number 165, O Worship the King, hymn number 165, 165, O Worship the King.

22:43.100 --> 22:46.600
165. Let's sing together.

22:46.600 --> 22:50.600
Oh, worship the king.

24:58.400 --> 25:05.840
will come and bring you one. On the front is our Bible memory passage of the week, 2nd Timothy chapter number 2.

31:32.700 --> 31:45.580
For our third song will be in your white handouts. Psalm 149. Psalm 149, 149 in your white handouts.

31:52.200 --> 31:53.960
Psalm 149.

32:04.900 --> 32:06.900
Let's sing it out all together.

32:06.900 --> 32:10.900
Raise the alarm, sing after the Lord.

34:21.200 --> 34:24.100
Mark chapter number six.

34:24.100 --> 34:25.960
Mark chapter number six.

34:57.800 --> 34:59.400
Mark chapter 6.

34:59.700 --> 35:04.900
And he went out from thence, and came into his own country, and his disciples follow him.

35:04.900 --> 35:08.820
And when the Sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue.

35:08.820 --> 35:13.700
And many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things?

35:13.700 --> 35:18.820
And what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his

35:18.820 --> 35:24.740
hands? Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and of Joseph, and of Judah,

35:24.740 --> 35:25.620
and Simon.

35:25.900 --> 35:29.980
and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.

35:29.980 --> 35:33.340
But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honor,

35:33.340 --> 35:37.100
but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.

35:37.100 --> 35:41.180
And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few

35:41.180 --> 35:45.500
sick folk, and healed them. And he marveled because of their unbelief.

35:45.500 --> 35:50.460
And he went round about the villages teaching, and he called unto him the twelfth, and began

35:50.460 --> 35:56.980
to send them forth by two and two, and gave them power over unclean spirits, and commanded

35:56.980 --> 36:02.380
them that they should take nothing for their journey save a staff only, no scrip, no bread,

36:02.380 --> 36:07.260
money in their purse, but be shod with sandals and not put on two coats.

36:07.900 --> 36:12.740
And he said unto them, In what place, soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye

36:12.740 --> 36:14.620
depart from that place.

36:14.620 --> 36:19.500
And whosoever shall not receive you nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the

36:19.500 --> 36:22.620
dust under your feet for a testimony against them.

36:22.620 --> 36:28.120
Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment

36:28.120 --> 36:30.180
than for that city.

36:30.180 --> 36:32.580
And they went out and preached that men should repent.

36:33.000 --> 36:38.600
And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.

36:38.600 --> 36:41.800
And King Herod heard of him, for his name was spread abroad.

36:41.800 --> 36:45.560
And he said that John the Baptist was risen from the dead,

36:45.560 --> 36:48.900
and therefore mighty works do show forth themselves in him.

36:49.100 --> 36:55.700
Others said that it is Elias, and others said that it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.

36:55.700 --> 37:01.600
But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John whom I beheaded. He is risen from the dead.

37:01.600 --> 37:11.100
For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias sake, his brother Philip's wife, for he had married her.

37:11.500 --> 37:15.980
For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.

37:15.980 --> 37:21.500
Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him, but she could not.

37:21.500 --> 37:26.700
For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and unholy, and observed him.

37:26.700 --> 37:30.700
And when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.

37:30.700 --> 37:35.580
And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords,

37:35.580 --> 37:37.980
Hi Captain and Chief of State of Galilee.

37:38.800 --> 37:44.800
And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in and danced and pleased Herod and them that sat with him,

37:44.800 --> 37:49.800
the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.

37:49.800 --> 37:55.700
And he sweared unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom.

37:55.700 --> 37:59.840
And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask?

37:59.840 --> 38:02.940
And she said, The head of John the Baptist.

38:02.940 --> 38:07.060
And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou

38:07.060 --> 38:11.460
give me by and by, and a charger, the head of John the Baptist.

38:11.460 --> 38:16.100
And the king was exceeding sorry, yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes which

38:16.100 --> 38:18.340
sat with him, he would not reject her.

38:18.800 --> 38:23.520
And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought.

38:23.520 --> 38:31.520
And he went and beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel, and the damsel gave it to her mother.

38:31.520 --> 38:36.720
And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.

38:36.720 --> 38:44.240
And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done and what they had taught.

38:44.400 --> 38:49.760
And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest awhile.

38:49.760 --> 38:54.800
For there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.

38:54.800 --> 38:58.080
And they departed into a desert place by ship privately.

38:58.080 --> 39:03.200
And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities,

39:03.200 --> 39:05.760
and out went them, and came together unto him.

39:07.100 --> 39:12.220
And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them,

39:12.220 --> 39:14.620
because they were as sheep, not having a shepherd.

39:14.620 --> 39:17.420
And he began to teach them many things.

39:17.420 --> 39:22.420
And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert

39:22.420 --> 39:25.340
place, and now the time is far past.

39:25.340 --> 39:29.540
Send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages,

39:29.540 --> 39:32.180
and buy themselves bread, for they have nothing to eat.

39:32.800 --> 39:35.840
He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat.

39:35.840 --> 39:39.600
And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred penny worth of bread,

39:39.600 --> 39:44.600
and give them to eat? He sayeth unto them, How many loaves have ye? Go and see.

39:44.700 --> 39:47.900
And when they knew they say, Five and two fishes.

39:47.900 --> 39:52.700
And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass.

39:52.700 --> 39:56.380
And they sat down in ranks by hundreds and by fifties.

39:56.380 --> 40:01.020
And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven and blessed

40:01.020 --> 40:05.260
and break the loaves and gave them to his disciples to set before them.

40:05.260 --> 40:07.740
And the two fishes divided he among them all.

40:08.700 --> 40:10.860
And they did all eat and were filled.

40:11.300 --> 40:15.060
and they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments and of the fishes,

40:15.620 --> 40:19.860
and they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men.

40:19.860 --> 40:23.700
In straightway he constrained the disciples to get into the ship

40:23.700 --> 40:28.420
and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people.

40:28.980 --> 40:32.900
And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray.

40:33.400 --> 40:38.880
And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land.

40:38.880 --> 40:43.440
And he saw them toiling and rowing, for the wind was contrary unto them.

40:43.440 --> 40:48.160
And about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and

40:48.160 --> 40:52.800
would have passed by them.

40:52.800 --> 40:57.320
But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried

40:57.320 --> 40:57.900
out.

40:58.100 --> 41:03.380
For they all saw him and were troubled, and immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them,

41:03.380 --> 41:09.940
Be of good cheer, it is I, be not afraid. And he went up unto them into the ship, and the wind

41:09.940 --> 41:15.860
ceased, and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered. For they considered

41:15.860 --> 41:20.740
not the miracle of the loaves, for their heart was hardened. And when they had passed over,

41:20.740 --> 41:24.340
they came into the land of Gennesaret and drew to the shore.

41:24.900 --> 41:30.900
And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him, and ran through that whole region round about,

41:30.900 --> 41:35.900
and began to carry about in beds those that were sick where they heard he was.

41:35.900 --> 41:41.900
And whithersoever he entered into villages or cities or country, they laid the sick in the streets,

41:41.900 --> 41:46.800
and besought him that they might touch, if it were but the border of his garment.

41:46.900 --> 41:52.740
and as many as touch him were made whole. Let's pray. Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for the

41:52.740 --> 41:56.980
great soul winning today. I pray that you fill Pastor Oz with your spirit, helping the preacher

41:56.980 --> 42:00.100
in edifying the sermon for us and help us to receive it.

42:01.000 --> 42:07.560
Then Mark chapter number six and this starts out with the story of Jesus facing rejection.

42:07.560 --> 42:11.960
We see in verse number one it says that he went out from thence and came into his own country.

42:11.960 --> 42:15.320
That's important there. And his disciples follow him.

42:15.600 --> 42:20.300
And when the Sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many hearing

42:20.300 --> 42:25.720
him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things?

42:25.720 --> 42:31.220
And what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought

42:31.220 --> 42:32.720
by his hands?

42:32.720 --> 42:39.520
Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James and Joses, and of Judah

42:39.520 --> 42:40.520
and Simon?

42:40.520 --> 42:40.600
you

42:40.600 --> 42:46.280
and are not his sisters here with us and notice they were offended at him.

42:46.600 --> 42:51.400
You would think that when Jesus comes to his own country and starts preaching,

42:51.400 --> 42:57.400
and they're even kind of acknowledging the wisdom that he has and the mighty works that he's doing,

42:57.400 --> 43:02.200
but regardless of that they're just like, well, yeah, but you know, it's not just the carpenter,

43:02.200 --> 43:07.000
and don't we have his sister here, and isn't he the son of Mary,

43:07.000 --> 43:10.360
isn't he the brother of James and Joses and of Judah?

43:10.900 --> 43:16.580
Right, so they just have contempt for the Lord Jesus Christ just because they know him, right?

43:16.820 --> 43:18.820
Just because they know where he's from

43:18.980 --> 43:24.100
They know his family and they're just kind of scoffing at him and look what Jesus says in verse four

43:24.740 --> 43:29.060
It says but Jesus said unto them a prophet is not without honor

43:29.540 --> 43:34.340
But in his own country and among his own kin and in his own

43:34.980 --> 43:35.800
house

43:35.900 --> 43:38.860
What is he saying that a prophet does have honor?

43:38.860 --> 43:45.100
He says a prophets not without honor a prophet does have honor except for in the case where he's in his own country

43:45.420 --> 43:48.300
With his own kindred with his own house

43:48.780 --> 43:53.260
And one way we could look at this right away is that this is talking about the jews in general

43:53.660 --> 43:57.900
The bible says he came unto his own and his own received him

43:58.460 --> 44:03.760
Not right, so they completely rejected the lord. Jesus christ. Also we should just expect

44:03.900 --> 44:08.640
that if Jesus faced rejection by his familiars,

44:08.640 --> 44:12.260
we too will face rejection by our familiars.

44:12.260 --> 44:14.160
And sometimes it's so frustrating

44:14.160 --> 44:17.680
because some of the hardest people in life to get saved

44:17.680 --> 44:20.040
are your own family members.

44:20.040 --> 44:22.120
People all the time are just banging their head

44:22.120 --> 44:25.020
against the wall, worried, upset, praying

44:25.020 --> 44:27.500
because their family won't get saved.

44:27.500 --> 44:29.700
And the reality is that that's just sometimes

44:29.700 --> 44:31.100
the hardest people to get saved.

44:31.200 --> 44:33.340
That could feel unfair at times

44:33.340 --> 44:39.080
I remember losing a loved one that was unsaved and I kind of remember having this thought when I was younger like man

44:39.080 --> 44:42.420
I get you know other people's grandma saved all the time

44:42.420 --> 44:47.940
I get other people's grandpa saved all the time, but then my loved one has to go to hell, right?

44:47.940 --> 44:55.100
We have that feeling sometimes but even beyond salvation even just like getting your family member to serve God with you can be hard

44:55.500 --> 44:59.660
Getting your family to just respect what you're doing for God can be hard.

44:59.660 --> 45:02.100
People will call you names, people act like you're in a cult.

45:02.100 --> 45:06.800
But you know what? If Jesus faced this, we should just expect that we're going to face the exact thing.

45:06.800 --> 45:09.300
And of course, the lesson for us, the main lesson for us,

45:09.300 --> 45:14.300
is not to allow familiarity in our life to breed contempt.

45:14.800 --> 45:19.800
And not just, you know, most people will look at this passage and they'll apply it to your pastor

45:19.800 --> 45:22.120
They'll apply it to your spouse or your boss

45:22.120 --> 45:26.120
But you know one person we need to apply this to is how about the Lord Jesus Christ himself?

45:26.360 --> 45:30.160
You know what? I don't want to do. I don't want to just get used to going to church

45:30.800 --> 45:33.400
I don't want to just get used to reading the Bible.

45:33.400 --> 45:36.100
I don't want to just get used to winning souls to Christ.

45:36.100 --> 45:39.000
You know, like it's just another mundane thing to do,

45:39.000 --> 45:40.400
to go to the house of God.

45:40.400 --> 45:42.800
You know, just because you've been to the house of God a hundred times

45:42.800 --> 45:45.000
doesn't mean it's not special anymore. It is.

45:45.300 --> 45:49.500
Right, it's like well, you know, I'm just used to church and I'm used to the King James Bible

45:49.500 --> 45:53.100
Well, you know, that's how people felt about Jesus in the flesh and that's not right

45:53.740 --> 45:58.060
Regardless of how many times you've opened up this book right here every single time

45:58.060 --> 46:03.940
You should open it open it up and remind yourself that you're opening up the eternal words of God

46:04.600 --> 46:07.800
and that here we have a miracle in our laps this evening.

46:07.800 --> 46:12.200
Here we have God's promise fulfilled to us to preserve his word,

46:12.200 --> 46:16.040
but you know so many people just esteem it lightly because they're familiar with it.

46:16.040 --> 46:19.080
We're just familiar with the King James Bible in America,

46:19.080 --> 46:23.880
but you know what if you went to other places in this world you probably wouldn't take it for granted as much as you do.

46:24.600 --> 46:27.360
We shouldn't just take for granted the Lord Jesus Christ.

46:27.360 --> 46:30.760
We shouldn't just take for granted the blessing we have of prayer.

46:30.760 --> 46:33.640
Or take for granted the idea of going to church, you know,

46:33.640 --> 46:37.080
because that's just familiarity, breeding, contempt.

46:37.840 --> 46:40.120
And notice the result in verse five.

46:40.120 --> 46:43.320
And he could there do no mighty work,

46:43.800 --> 46:47.880
save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk and he healed them.

46:48.240 --> 46:51.960
And he marveled because of their unbelief.

46:52.300 --> 46:54.940
and he went round about the villages teaching.

46:54.940 --> 46:58.300
So notice this attitude of just being complacent,

46:58.300 --> 47:01.340
taking things for granted, allowing familiarity

47:01.340 --> 47:05.180
to breed contempt, it can hinder the work of God.

47:05.700 --> 47:10.740
Right because even a church could get to this point where everything just becomes hum-ha, you know

47:10.820 --> 47:13.620
Oh, we're going soul winning again. Oh another sermon

47:13.780 --> 47:19.460
But you know, we have to keep things exciting in our heart. We have to keep things fresh in our heart

47:19.700 --> 47:24.740
You know it reminds me about certain instances in the old testament. For example when joshua

47:25.220 --> 47:29.540
Leads the people of israel to cross the jordan river and what do they do?

47:29.780 --> 47:33.380
They erect these stones as a witness to this

47:33.700 --> 47:36.260
great work that God has done in their life.

47:36.260 --> 47:38.040
Saying, hey, I want your children,

47:38.040 --> 47:41.900
when they come to say, hey, what mean ye by these stones?

47:41.900 --> 47:43.720
And then you remind your children

47:43.720 --> 47:46.220
of the great works that are done for the Lord.

47:46.220 --> 47:48.840
You know, we need to set up some reminders in our life

47:48.840 --> 47:51.720
about the great things that God has done in our life,

47:51.720 --> 47:55.180
because that attitude is gonna keep us going forward

47:55.180 --> 47:57.100
to do greater things.

47:57.200 --> 48:01.400
You see people that just kind of stagnate. They stop pushing forward

48:01.400 --> 48:07.900
It's often because there's just been this you know just indifference in their heart towards the things of God that leads them

48:08.120 --> 48:12.520
Down that road and it says Jesus did their no mighty work because of their unbelief

48:13.440 --> 48:18.840
Switching gears verse 7 it says and he called unto that and he called unto him the 12

48:19.300 --> 48:25.660
Began to send them forth by two and two and gave them power over unclean spirit

48:25.660 --> 48:32.480
So you know the idea of going out with a partner Jesus the Lord Jesus Christ himself instituted that so that's the model that we follow

48:33.060 --> 48:37.960
It says and commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey

48:38.660 --> 48:41.580
Save a staff only no script

48:42.000 --> 48:50.800
no bread, no money in their purse, but be shod with sandals and not put on two coats."

48:50.800 --> 48:54.840
So Jesus is, you know, he's ordained these men to be his disciples.

48:55.200 --> 48:59.200
And these would be like full-time ministers, right?

48:59.200 --> 49:02.640
And so Jesus is saying, hey, you know, don't worry about,

49:02.640 --> 49:04.440
you know, stockpiling all this money

49:04.440 --> 49:07.080
or bringing all this extra stuff to come with you.

49:07.080 --> 49:10.160
Don't worry about going and getting some sort of side job

49:10.160 --> 49:12.560
or secular job to take care of yourself.

49:12.560 --> 49:16.360
He's basically just saying like, trust me to provide for you

49:16.360 --> 49:18.920
when you're going out and doing this work.

49:18.920 --> 49:20.280
Now this is a biblical concept.

49:20.280 --> 49:22.320
Go to 1 Corinthians chapter number nine.

49:22.900 --> 49:30.820
1st Corinthians chapter number 9. Some people today would take issue with the idea of a pastor being

49:30.820 --> 49:36.260
full time in the ministry. They would take issue with someone just completely spending all of their

49:36.260 --> 49:42.820
time serving God, preaching the gospel, preaching sermons, praying. But we see Jesus sending these

49:42.820 --> 49:47.460
people out. What? Full time and saying don't worry about this stuff. Look at 1st Corinthians 9.

49:48.600 --> 49:51.960
For sake of time, let's just read verse number 14. The Bible says,

49:51.960 --> 49:58.360
Even so hath the Lord, who's that? That's Jesus. Even so hath the Lord ordained

49:58.360 --> 50:01.960
that they which preach the gospel should live.

50:02.000 --> 50:08.480
the gospel so it is a biblical concept for pastors or staff to be paid for

50:08.480 --> 50:12.480
their work and look there's nothing wrong with that I'm not sure why people

50:12.480 --> 50:16.120
freak out about this so much but you know some what I would think that people

50:16.120 --> 50:21.640
who have respect for the work of God and highly esteem the work of God would

50:21.640 --> 50:23.800
think that yeah this is just a no-brainer

50:23.900 --> 50:27.100
Like, what would you rather Jesus' disciples doing?

50:27.100 --> 50:30.400
Going out and preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ

50:30.400 --> 50:34.400
or, I don't know, building huts. Building tents.

50:34.700 --> 50:39.020
doing some sort of servile work. Now look, it's not that these men are above doing that because the

50:39.020 --> 50:46.540
apostle Paul did that, setting an example, working super hard, doing both, but was that Jesus's ideal

50:46.540 --> 50:52.380
situation? No, the Lord ordained that those who preach the gospel should live of the gospel. So

50:52.380 --> 50:56.860
in one sense we could think about this and think about ordained ministers, how this should be a

50:56.860 --> 51:01.420
goal for ministers to do this, but also you know I think we should just apply this to ourselves as

51:01.420 --> 51:02.700
the soul winners that.

51:02.700 --> 51:09.920
We should trust the Lord to provide for our needs in life as we are serving God go to Matthew chapter number six

51:10.920 --> 51:16.520
Matthew chapter number six Jesus saying hey, don't worry about taking two coats

51:16.860 --> 51:21.820
Don't worry about a purse or a script or a step. Don't worry about all this stuff

51:22.740 --> 51:25.040
Notice what he says in Matthew chapter number six

51:26.060 --> 51:27.600
verse 31

51:27.700 --> 51:30.260
Notice the Bible says therefore take no thought

51:30.900 --> 51:35.340
Saying what shall we eat or what shall we drink or wherewithal?

51:35.740 --> 51:41.900
Shall we be clothed for all after all these things do the Gentiles seek for your heavenly Father knoweth

51:41.980 --> 51:43.980
That you have need of all these things

51:44.420 --> 51:46.420
Notice but seek ye first

51:46.820 --> 51:54.260
The kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you

51:55.000 --> 52:00.600
So not only does Jesus give his disciples this promise that hey you're going to enter into a house

52:01.000 --> 52:04.680
Let your peace abide there people are going to take care of your carnal needs

52:05.080 --> 52:11.000
You focus on preaching the gospel really this principle applies to everyone that we should what seek first?

52:11.400 --> 52:17.400
The kingdom of god and his righteousness and then all these things will be added unto us

52:17.880 --> 52:21.480
Right, so the bible talks about i've never seen the righteous forsaken

52:22.040 --> 52:23.000
Nor his seed

52:23.000 --> 52:31.140
Begging bread so you know God has promised to take care of all of us that should be comforting especially in times right now

52:31.420 --> 52:33.420
Where inflation is just getting insane?

52:34.400 --> 52:37.800
You know, it just seems like no one could ever make enough money right now.

52:37.800 --> 52:39.600
Everything is so expensive.

52:39.600 --> 52:46.300
And a lot of people just have this fear and anxiety and constant worry about taking care of the bills.

52:46.300 --> 52:51.100
But you know what? The worst thing you could do if you're worried about paying the bills is be like,

52:51.100 --> 52:56.300
well, I'm just going to, you know, tone back my service for God so that I could focus more on making money.

52:56.300 --> 52:58.600
You have it absolutely backwards, right?

52:58.600 --> 53:02.300
Because Jesus says, hey, seek first the kingdom of God and

53:02.400 --> 53:07.320
his righteousness, then all these things will be added unto you.

53:07.320 --> 53:08.320
You know what this comes down to?

53:08.320 --> 53:10.040
This comes down to faith.

53:10.600 --> 53:14.680
This comes down to actually trusting the promises of God.

53:14.680 --> 53:18.000
Because every person's gonna look at this and agree,

53:18.000 --> 53:20.520
every Christian is gonna look at this and agree with this

53:20.520 --> 53:22.680
from like a head knowledge perspective.

53:22.680 --> 53:25.640
But then you look at how Christians are living their lives

53:25.640 --> 53:29.040
and you see them skipping church, not going soul winning,

53:29.040 --> 53:32.680
not prioritizing the things of God in pursuit of money.

53:32.680 --> 53:35.040
And you know what that shows is that they don't actually

53:35.040 --> 53:37.080
have faith in the promises of God.

53:37.700 --> 53:42.780
Whereas a lot of us, we could be following what the Bible says, putting the Lord first,

53:42.780 --> 53:47.940
going soul winning, sacrificing for the things of God, being generous to others, and it could

53:47.940 --> 53:53.080
look even for a while that it's at our own detriment, but you see those people keep going

53:53.080 --> 53:55.420
and you see the Lord come through for them.

53:55.420 --> 53:56.420
Why?

53:56.420 --> 53:57.420
Because it's the promises of God.

53:57.420 --> 53:58.420
Right?

53:58.420 --> 54:00.140
Jesus is not going to break His promise.

54:00.140 --> 54:03.780
Just like He doesn't break His promise for salvation, He doesn't break His promise in

54:03.780 --> 54:04.820
any area.

54:05.300 --> 54:11.260
So look there's not a person in this world that is seeking first the kingdom of God and his righteousness

54:11.260 --> 54:16.580
And it's just gonna die of starvation and be destitute and just be have no one to take it

54:16.580 --> 54:22.380
That is not gonna happen because here's a promise from God right here. Good mark chapter number six again

54:23.540 --> 54:30.740
Mark chapter number six it says in verse number nine, but be shod with sandals and put and not put on two coats

54:31.300 --> 54:38.020
He said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye

54:38.020 --> 54:39.940
depart from that place.

54:39.940 --> 54:42.060
So they're kind of just going to go find some sponsor home.

54:42.060 --> 54:46.180
They're just going to find someone that likes their message, is receptive to the message,

54:46.180 --> 54:52.860
and they're just going to live off that person's generosity until they depart from that place.

54:52.860 --> 54:57.860
And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you,

54:58.600 --> 55:04.200
When ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them.

55:04.200 --> 55:11.560
Verily I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment

55:11.560 --> 55:12.880
than for that city."

55:12.880 --> 55:16.600
Now that is a very extreme statement from the Lord there.

55:17.000 --> 55:21.160
because of course we all know the story of Sodom and Gomorrah that the Lord

55:21.160 --> 55:24.960
rained fire and brimstone from the Lord from heaven

55:24.960 --> 55:28.200
and destroyed the entire city of Sodom

55:28.200 --> 55:33.600
he burnt them all alive and killed them the angels dragged out lot in his family

55:33.600 --> 55:36.680
of course his wife looks back has turned into a pillar of salt

55:36.680 --> 55:39.000
that seems like a very severe judgment

55:39.100 --> 55:41.860
Yet Jesus is saying, hey, people who reject,

55:41.860 --> 55:43.940
notice he didn't say people who reject me,

55:43.940 --> 55:47.340
he said those that reject you, the disciples.

55:47.340 --> 55:51.040
He says those that reject you, those that despise you,

55:51.040 --> 55:54.780
it would be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah

55:54.780 --> 55:57.340
in the day of judgment than for that city.

55:57.340 --> 55:59.220
You know one thing we can learn from this right away

55:59.220 --> 56:02.640
is that God is actually stricter in the New Testament

56:02.640 --> 56:03.800
than in the Old Testament.

56:04.500 --> 56:07.440
That should scare people because hello, the Old Testament,

56:07.440 --> 56:09.300
it's not like God with some pushover,

56:09.300 --> 56:12.240
he burnt the whole city with fire.

56:12.240 --> 56:16.040
And the Bible's saying it's actually gonna be more tolerable

56:16.040 --> 56:18.280
for the city of Sodom and Gomorrah

56:18.280 --> 56:21.120
than for the people who reject, notice, us.

56:21.800 --> 56:29.380
Do you notice that Jesus didn't say hey those that reject me said those that reject you why because we are an extension of the Lord

56:29.380 --> 56:30.760
Jesus Christ as

56:30.760 --> 56:38.300
Preachers of the gospel and this goes two ways it is true that when people are rejecting us. They're not truly rejecting us

56:38.300 --> 56:45.280
They're rejecting Jesus ultimately, but we are a representative of Jesus Christ. So when people do reject us

56:46.160 --> 56:48.160
Jesus takes that personal to himself

56:48.700 --> 56:56.140
He gets mad about that and he is going to judge nations, people, individuals that reject us.

56:56.780 --> 57:02.540
Right? And so people in the New Testament should fear the Lord, should be scared of the God of

57:02.540 --> 57:06.300
the Bible because he's not playing games even in the New Testament here.

57:06.900 --> 57:10.500
I think about this story about, you know, shaking off the dust under your feet.

57:10.500 --> 57:14.660
I, you know, I've seen someone literally do this when Steadfast Baptist Church was in

57:14.660 --> 57:18.980
Hearst and we were protested for a long time and we ended up getting evicted.

57:19.200 --> 57:22.040
by the landlord, we took it to court,

57:22.040 --> 57:24.800
by some just crazy kangaroo court,

57:24.800 --> 57:28.200
we lost it in court, we got evicted from our building,

57:28.200 --> 57:30.480
and Pastor Shelley went out in front of the building

57:30.480 --> 57:32.240
and, you know, clapped his shoes together

57:32.240 --> 57:35.920
and shook off his dust against the city of Hearst.

57:35.920 --> 57:37.960
And you know what, I think that God is gonna hold

57:37.960 --> 57:40.200
the individuals that persecuted

57:40.200 --> 57:42.400
St. Fast Baptist Church to account someday.

57:42.800 --> 57:47.100
And you know what? The judgment of Sodom and Gomorrah, you know, it's eternal fire.

57:47.100 --> 57:51.500
These people are going to be in even a lower hell that would attack a man of God.

57:51.500 --> 57:55.800
That would try to stop the work of the gospel of a great church.

57:55.800 --> 57:57.700
That's the judgment that Jesus gives.

57:58.700 --> 58:00.280
Then they go out in verse 12, it says,

58:00.280 --> 58:04.440
and they went out and preached that men should repent.

58:05.440 --> 58:06.840
Now notice it doesn't say,

58:06.840 --> 58:08.700
repent of your sins for salvation,

58:08.700 --> 58:10.740
like so many false prophets love to do.

58:10.740 --> 58:12.700
They love to just read into the Bible,

58:12.700 --> 58:14.320
and they'll take you to a verse like this and say,

58:14.320 --> 58:16.280
see, we gotta repent of our sins to be saved.

58:16.280 --> 58:18.920
But hold on a second, that's not what the Bible said.

58:18.920 --> 58:20.240
The Bible said that they went out

58:20.240 --> 58:22.100
and preached that men should repent.

58:22.100 --> 58:23.600
Now what does it mean to repent?

58:23.600 --> 58:25.000
It simply means to turn.

58:25.300 --> 58:27.300
What are people doing when they're getting saved?

58:27.300 --> 58:29.800
They're turning from trusting in idols,

58:29.800 --> 58:32.900
trusting in false religion, trusting in themselves,

58:32.900 --> 58:35.240
to putting all their trust in Jesus Christ.

58:35.240 --> 58:37.740
That's what the Bible consistently teaches.

58:37.740 --> 58:41.380
Verse 13, and they cast out many devils

58:41.380 --> 58:46.380
and anointed with oil many that were sick and healed them.

58:46.380 --> 58:47.280
We're gonna switch gears again.

58:47.280 --> 58:49.520
It says, and King Herod heard of him

58:49.520 --> 58:51.580
for his name was spread abroad.

58:51.800 --> 58:57.480
And he said, notice that John the Baptist was risen from the dead.

58:57.480 --> 59:02.520
And therefore, mighty works do show forth themselves in him.

59:02.700 --> 59:08.660
So notice even the high up echelons of the government has heard about the works of Jesus Christ

59:08.860 --> 59:13.100
You know, don't be surprised if you serve God and even the government knows who you are

59:13.300 --> 59:17.120
Even if the government you know has a file on you or something like that boy

59:17.120 --> 59:19.620
That wouldn't that would never happen to anyone whatsoever, right?

59:19.620 --> 59:25.620
You know, the FBI would never falsely look into some sort of Christian or something like that. Oh boy. I wonder okay

59:25.800 --> 59:30.520
So look Harry knows about Jesus. He's heard about him for his fame and notice his fear

59:30.700 --> 59:38.540
It says that he's afraid that John the Baptist was risen from the dead. You know what this is? This is paranoia and

59:39.420 --> 59:44.880
What are the attributes of people who have a guilty conscience is that they're constantly paranoid?

59:45.540 --> 59:50.220
They're constantly scared. They constantly have fear you think about King Saul

59:50.900 --> 59:55.780
He's afraid what? That David's conspiring to take over the kingdom.

59:55.780 --> 59:58.500
That David wants to overthrow his reign.

59:58.500 --> 01:00:02.740
You know, even to his own servants at one point, he's like,

01:00:02.740 --> 01:00:07.300
why doesn't anyone feel bad for me? Why have you conspired against me?

01:00:07.300 --> 01:00:09.700
You know, to promote King David.

01:00:09.700 --> 01:00:13.540
And really what it is, is a reflection of someone's guilty conscience.

01:00:14.300 --> 01:00:19.260
You see King Herod, you know why he's scared that John the Baptist was risen from the dead?

01:00:19.260 --> 01:00:26.380
Because he killed John the Baptist. Because he was wicked. Because he was sinful. I've just seen in life,

01:00:26.380 --> 01:00:30.780
amongst the unsaved and even amongst the saved, that the people in my life that I've seen that

01:00:30.780 --> 01:00:36.460
are the most scared, there's a boogeyman around every corner, everything's a conspiracy,

01:00:36.460 --> 01:00:40.700
everyone's out to get him. It's often people who have a guilty conscience from being wicked.

01:00:41.800 --> 01:00:48.800
And look, obviously fearing God is righteous, but the Bible says that God has not given us the spirit of fear.

01:00:48.800 --> 01:00:55.800
And you know what, if you in your life, if you're just constantly scared, you're scared about what if this, what if that, what if this happens.

01:00:55.800 --> 01:00:59.800
You ought to reflect on yourself and ask yourself if you're even right with God.

01:00:59.800 --> 01:01:03.800
Because you know why a lot of people are scared? Because they're not right with God.

01:01:03.800 --> 01:01:07.800
The Bible says, the wicked flee when no man pursueth.

01:01:08.000 --> 01:01:11.440
but the righteous are as bold as a lion.

01:01:11.440 --> 01:01:13.740
Look, if you just constantly struggle with fear,

01:01:13.740 --> 01:01:15.840
you gotta ask yourself, am I right with God?

01:01:15.840 --> 01:01:17.600
Do I have some sort of just major,

01:01:17.600 --> 01:01:19.640
unconfessed sin in my life?

01:01:19.640 --> 01:01:21.080
Because look, if that's you,

01:01:21.080 --> 01:01:22.780
then you have every right to be scared

01:01:22.780 --> 01:01:24.920
because maybe God is coming after you.

01:01:24.920 --> 01:01:27.680
Maybe God is coming to punish you and to chastise you.

01:01:27.680 --> 01:01:28.520
You know what?

01:01:28.520 --> 01:01:31.680
King Herod should absolutely be scared of God for killing.

01:01:32.100 --> 01:01:35.100
John the Baptist for killing a righteous man.

01:01:35.100 --> 01:01:37.100
But man, we live in a society today

01:01:37.100 --> 01:01:40.100
that has gone from the truth movement

01:01:40.900 --> 01:01:45.380
Which used to be like, hey, we're going to be really studious and we're going to give, you know,

01:01:45.380 --> 01:01:50.340
we're going to give good heed unto facts and we're going to study things out. And it's like, hey,

01:01:50.340 --> 01:01:55.940
here's like all these architects and engineers and smart people who say, hey, the way that this

01:01:55.940 --> 01:02:01.380
building fell in 9-11 is not physically possible. And you know, here's evidence that we're falling.

01:02:01.380 --> 01:02:06.100
Like the truth movement used to have some smart people where now I feel like our whole country

01:02:06.100 --> 01:02:08.820
has mass psychosis with conspiracy theory.

01:02:08.900 --> 01:02:13.420
And it's honestly kind of scary how truth has just gone out the window

01:02:14.500 --> 01:02:16.500
Facts aren't needed anymore

01:02:16.540 --> 01:02:21.620
Evidence isn't needed anymore, and I am constantly just being told about the most insane

01:02:22.140 --> 01:02:26.460
conspiracy theories you could possibly imagine with no evidence and

01:02:27.180 --> 01:02:29.300
Here's the danger. There's lots of dangers with this

01:02:29.900 --> 01:02:37.660
Here is one danger with just being obsessed with these conspiracies not understanding what facts are not understanding

01:02:37.660 --> 01:02:40.400
What evidence are is that you end up becoming a railer?

01:02:41.380 --> 01:02:48.620
Inadvertently, okay go if you would to Jude if you would Jude right before Revelation you got the epistle of Jude just one chapter

01:02:49.340 --> 01:02:50.540
I

01:02:50.540 --> 01:02:55.520
Do not like it even when people rail against bad people

01:02:56.200 --> 01:03:03.560
I do not like it when people just level false accusations even against wicked people now look at Jude

01:03:04.160 --> 01:03:06.880
Let's see what verse I'm looking for here, okay?

01:03:08.200 --> 01:03:10.360
So look at verse. Let's start reading in verse 7

01:03:11.280 --> 01:03:13.760
even as Sodom and Gomorrah and

01:03:14.000 --> 01:03:21.080
The cities about them in like manner giving themselves over to fornication and going after strange flesh are set forth for an example

01:03:21.480 --> 01:03:23.720
suffering the vengeance of eternal fire

01:03:24.100 --> 01:03:26.500
He's saying, hey, how do I feel about fags today?

01:03:26.500 --> 01:03:28.540
Well, it's how I burned them in the Old Testament

01:03:28.540 --> 01:03:30.220
and sent them to hell.

01:03:30.220 --> 01:03:33.400
Verse number eight, likewise, in the same way,

01:03:33.400 --> 01:03:37.300
also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh.

01:03:37.300 --> 01:03:42.540
Notice this despise dominion and speak evil of dignities.

01:03:42.540 --> 01:03:45.980
Now, I never want to have attributes about me

01:03:45.980 --> 01:03:48.180
that are being compared unto sodomites.

01:03:48.500 --> 01:03:53.300
And in the same way, you know, these filthy people do these false prophets.

01:03:53.500 --> 01:03:57.060
They defile the flesh and notice they despise dominion.

01:03:57.260 --> 01:03:58.300
You know what that means?

01:03:58.500 --> 01:04:01.100
Hating authority, hating leadership.

01:04:01.100 --> 01:04:02.340
And there are some people that are just

01:04:02.540 --> 01:04:06.380
willing to just trash talk any type of leadership just because they don't like

01:04:06.580 --> 01:04:12.820
them. They despise dominion and notice speak evil of dignities.

01:04:15.700 --> 01:04:16.540
Let's keep reading.

01:04:16.540 --> 01:04:21.700
Yet, Michael the Archangel, when contending with the devil,

01:04:21.700 --> 01:04:23.820
that seems like a pretty bad guy.

01:04:23.820 --> 01:04:27.540
The devil, notice he disputed about the body of Moses,

01:04:27.540 --> 01:04:32.220
durst not, or he dared not, bring against him, who's him?

01:04:32.220 --> 01:04:36.020
The devil, a railing accusation.

01:04:36.020 --> 01:04:36.200
you

01:04:36.300 --> 01:04:38.300
But said the Lord rebuketh thee.

01:04:38.300 --> 01:04:40.300
So notice, Michael the Archangel,

01:04:40.300 --> 01:04:43.300
he's being contrasted against the false prophets,

01:04:43.300 --> 01:04:47.300
which they have no problem blowing off their mouth about things they don't know,

01:04:47.300 --> 01:04:51.300
don't understand, speak evil of dignities, speak against dominions.

01:04:51.300 --> 01:04:54.300
Michael the Archangel is contending against the devil,

01:04:54.300 --> 01:04:56.300
who is a known wicked entity.

01:04:56.300 --> 01:04:58.300
Of course, there's no truth in him,

01:04:58.300 --> 01:05:01.300
but even against the devil, the Bible says he does not,

01:05:01.300 --> 01:05:04.300
he dared not bring a false accusation.

01:05:04.300 --> 01:05:07.300
bring a railing accusation because here's the truth,

01:05:07.300 --> 01:05:10.060
to bring a railing accusation against someone is wicked

01:05:10.060 --> 01:05:13.420
regardless of whether that's a good or a bad person.

01:05:14.300 --> 01:05:17.300
And I just feel like with these conspiracy theories

01:05:17.300 --> 01:05:19.260
that I'm constantly being told about,

01:05:19.260 --> 01:05:22.900
I'm just thinking like, man, if your level of evidence

01:05:22.900 --> 01:05:24.940
was brought into a court of law,

01:05:24.940 --> 01:05:26.800
you would be laughed out of the courtroom.

01:05:26.900 --> 01:05:29.200
You would just be absolutely laughed out of the courtroom,

01:05:29.200 --> 01:05:31.000
the level of evidence that you bring

01:05:31.000 --> 01:05:32.700
to these false accusations against people.

01:05:32.700 --> 01:05:33.540
And you know what?

01:05:33.540 --> 01:05:36.440
People need to get back to speaking the truth

01:05:36.440 --> 01:05:40.040
and elevating the truth and only believing the truth,

01:05:40.040 --> 01:05:42.240
even when there's someone you don't like.

01:05:42.240 --> 01:05:43.620
You know, it's like you could have,

01:05:43.620 --> 01:05:45.980
you know, whatever ideas you think happen,

01:05:45.980 --> 01:05:47.620
but when you're just running around,

01:05:47.620 --> 01:05:48.720
you know, talking about, you know,

01:05:48.720 --> 01:05:51.060
Benjamin Netanyahu for sure murdered Charlie Kirk.

01:05:51.060 --> 01:05:53.120
It's like, well, what evidence do you have for that?

01:05:53.120 --> 01:05:53.960
Oh, none?

01:05:54.500 --> 01:05:57.700
Well, it was the Mormon beekeeping space cult.

01:05:57.700 --> 01:05:59.700
Okay, what even is that?

01:05:59.700 --> 01:06:00.660
Candace Owens.

01:06:00.660 --> 01:06:04.260
And let me just say this, Candace Owens is a wicked freak.

01:06:04.700 --> 01:06:11.220
Candice Owens is an absolute feminist nightmare. I want to say other words about her, but I'm not going to but look

01:06:11.220 --> 01:06:14.740
I feel like Candice Owens is like destroying the minds of people in America

01:06:15.020 --> 01:06:18.040
Because she just gets up as this grifter and throws

01:06:18.040 --> 01:06:21.640
You know 50 different conspiracies out every week to keep making money

01:06:21.640 --> 01:06:25.860
And you have all these busybody women that don't care about evidence or truth

01:06:25.940 --> 01:06:30.340
Just repeating her claims over and over and over again, and it's just crazy folks

01:06:31.300 --> 01:06:37.220
I mean, it's the beekeeping cult that killed Charlie Kirk, it's the Egyptians, it's the French.

01:06:38.340 --> 01:06:44.340
Just anyone except for a God-hating faggot! Why would I be shocked that the Bible says the

01:06:44.340 --> 01:06:49.620
sodomites are filled with all unrighteousness, they hate God, then the media portrays Charlie

01:06:49.620 --> 01:06:52.340
Kirk as if he's like some sort of new IFB preacher?

01:06:53.000 --> 01:06:58.040
And it's just like, how, oh man, I would just never think that some sodomite would kill someone,

01:06:58.040 --> 01:07:02.920
even though sodomites are constantly shooting up schools, trannies are constantly shooting up schools.

01:07:02.920 --> 01:07:07.000
It's like, never mind that, never mind the evidence that we have, it's like, it's gotta be

01:07:07.560 --> 01:07:13.160
the beekeeping cult. It's gotta be the Jews. Why would it be the Jews when Charlie Kirk was

01:07:13.160 --> 01:07:17.800
like the biggest cheerleader for Israel his whole life? Are you kidding me? Well, he was waking up

01:07:17.800 --> 01:07:20.300
at the end. So is everyone!

01:07:20.400 --> 01:07:23.800
So is literally every single political commentator,

01:07:23.800 --> 01:07:25.880
even some old IFB preachers.

01:07:25.880 --> 01:07:27.080
Lately I've heard saying,

01:07:27.080 --> 01:07:29.460
now you can disagree with certain things

01:07:29.460 --> 01:07:31.540
Israel's doing politically,

01:07:31.540 --> 01:07:33.680
but God's still got a plan for Israel.

01:07:33.680 --> 01:07:35.680
Even old IFB preachers kind of backing off.

01:07:35.900 --> 01:07:42.020
It's like really bro? Yeah of course everyone's waking up on the Jews, but you know until I see evidence the Jews

01:07:42.020 --> 01:07:45.980
I don't think that Benjamin Netanyahu is responsible for killing Charlie Kirk. I think a faggot is

01:07:45.980 --> 01:07:49.620
I don't think Jews are responsible for why the single guys can't find girlfriends

01:07:49.620 --> 01:07:52.660
I don't think the Jews are responsible for why you stubbed your toe last night

01:07:52.660 --> 01:07:57.760
I don't think the Jews are responsible for why you can't find a job like just stop being a railer

01:07:58.100 --> 01:08:03.900
Okay, stop just with this insanity of conspiracy and honestly. It's just like mass psychosis in our country

01:08:03.900 --> 01:08:08.620
probably a lot of paranoia from how wicked our country is like King Herod

01:08:08.620 --> 01:08:13.980
here then it says in verse number 15 others said that it is Elias and others

01:08:13.980 --> 01:08:19.140
said that it is a prophet or as one of the prophets but when Herod heard thereof

01:08:19.140 --> 01:08:24.700
he said it is John whom I beheaded he is risen from the dead

01:08:25.100 --> 01:08:31.580
For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John and bound him in prison for Herodias sake

01:08:31.580 --> 01:08:38.620
his brother Philip's wife for he had married her for John had said unto Herod it is not lawful for

01:08:38.620 --> 01:08:44.140
thee to have thy brother's wife. So what's going on here? Go to Leviticus chapter number 20.

01:08:44.860 --> 01:08:51.260
Leviticus chapter number 20. Why is it that John called him out for this? Leviticus chapter number 20.

01:08:53.500 --> 01:09:00.380
Look at verse number 21. We'll see the law of God here. It says and if a man shall take his brother's wife

01:09:01.100 --> 01:09:03.500
It is an unclean thing

01:09:04.300 --> 01:09:09.100
He hath uncovered his brother's nakedness. Notice this they shall be childless

01:09:09.420 --> 01:09:14.780
So god's just saying like hey if you do this, i'm just going to curse you. This is an unclean

01:09:15.340 --> 01:09:20.860
Nasty thing and of course there were laws in the old testament where if your brother died

01:09:21.400 --> 01:09:28.260
Had left no seed you would raise up seed unto your brother, but that would be the instance in when your brother has died

01:09:28.700 --> 01:09:35.500
So what could we infer from this when we compare spirit scripture with scripture is that you know Herodias his husband was not dead

01:09:36.200 --> 01:09:43.240
Right? Herod's brother was not dead and he's just taking his wife and this is an abomination.

01:09:43.240 --> 01:09:49.720
This is disgusting. And you know what? Men of God have every right to call out actual sins.

01:09:49.900 --> 01:09:51.440
Actual abominations.

01:09:51.440 --> 01:09:53.440
You know, notice John the Baptist,

01:09:53.440 --> 01:09:55.440
he's not just railing against Herod.

01:09:55.440 --> 01:09:56.700
He's not just saying like,

01:09:56.700 --> 01:09:58.900
Herod, you're a pedophile, you eat children,

01:09:58.900 --> 01:10:02.000
you drink kids' blood, like the conspiracy theorists now do, right?

01:10:02.000 --> 01:10:03.600
It's just like, hey Herod,

01:10:03.600 --> 01:10:07.200
it's not lawful for you to have your brother's wife.

01:10:07.400 --> 01:10:11.200
That's wicked. Why? Because chapter and verse, that's why.

01:10:11.200 --> 01:10:14.600
Because Leviticus chapter 20 verse 21.

01:10:14.600 --> 01:10:17.200
You know what? That's not despising dominion.

01:10:17.200 --> 01:10:19.200
That's not speaking evil of dignities.

01:10:19.200 --> 01:10:23.900
We, as men of God, have every right to call out anyone's sin.

01:10:23.900 --> 01:10:26.400
It's not like, oh, we can't talk about the president.

01:10:26.400 --> 01:10:28.100
We can't talk about the leader.

01:10:28.100 --> 01:10:29.200
Can't talk. No, no, no.

01:10:29.200 --> 01:10:31.100
A man of God speaking the word of God,

01:10:31.100 --> 01:10:33.300
that is the high authority, the word of God.

01:10:33.500 --> 01:10:39.620
It's the highest authority in the world and you know what it should convict all of us and it can convict all of us

01:10:40.140 --> 01:10:43.700
But notice this okay verse 19 is where the story gets really interesting

01:10:44.380 --> 01:10:46.180
It says therefore

01:10:46.180 --> 01:10:53.920
Herodias right so that's Herod's new wife Herodias had a quarrel against him. Does it say that Herod was really upset?

01:10:54.620 --> 01:10:57.400
Did Herod really care that much that he was called out?

01:10:58.100 --> 01:11:02.100
Notice Herodias had a quarrel against the man of God.

01:11:02.100 --> 01:11:04.000
The wife was upset.

01:11:04.000 --> 01:11:05.940
Mama's upset.

01:11:05.940 --> 01:11:07.900
Notice she had a quarrel against him

01:11:07.900 --> 01:11:12.440
and would have killed him, but she could not.

01:11:12.440 --> 01:11:13.580
You see those words right there?

01:11:13.580 --> 01:11:15.620
She could not.

01:11:15.620 --> 01:11:18.340
Okay, here we have a woman that's upset.

01:11:18.340 --> 01:11:19.180
Why?

01:11:19.180 --> 01:11:21.380
Because a man of God called out her sin.

01:11:21.600 --> 01:11:25.440
Right? And some women in this world just act like they're above getting called out.

01:11:25.440 --> 01:11:29.120
You can never preach against a woman's sin. How dare you ever call out a woman?

01:11:29.120 --> 01:11:31.840
Well, you know what? This woman needed to be called out.

01:11:31.840 --> 01:11:36.640
And the husband, Herod, it doesn't even indicate that he's super upset by it.

01:11:36.640 --> 01:11:40.160
Now, I'm sure he wasn't jumping up and down excited about getting called out,

01:11:40.160 --> 01:11:44.960
but it doesn't act. It certainly doesn't say that he initially wanted to kill him.

01:11:44.960 --> 01:11:48.320
But notice just by the words of John the Baptist.

01:11:48.900 --> 01:11:55.100
Just by him preaching the word of God it caused a woman to want to murder him

01:11:55.100 --> 01:11:59.340
And it's just we live in this society that just you know acts like women are untouchable

01:11:59.620 --> 01:12:03.180
And you know it's only men that are doing all the evils in this world

01:12:03.180 --> 01:12:05.780
but you know women could be very wicked as well and

01:12:06.700 --> 01:12:09.540
Murder can reside in the heart of a woman

01:12:10.300 --> 01:12:13.940
What because you did something to her no just for hearing the word of God being preached

01:12:14.060 --> 01:12:18.180
That's crazy to think about could you imagine wanting to murder someone for preaching the word of God?

01:12:18.220 --> 01:12:21.220
That's exactly what happened, but here's some very important words

01:12:21.220 --> 01:12:25.520
Let's read this again therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him and would have killed him

01:12:25.520 --> 01:12:28.980
She wants to kill him, but she could not

01:12:29.740 --> 01:12:31.500
You know why?

01:12:31.500 --> 01:12:37.040
Women get away with evil in this world is because there's men that allow them to do so

01:12:37.500 --> 01:12:39.160
Because you know what the Bible says?

01:12:39.160 --> 01:12:41.280
She could not.

01:12:41.280 --> 01:12:46.720
She could sit there and be mad and huff and puff and want to kill John the Baptist, but

01:12:46.720 --> 01:12:48.200
she could not.

01:12:48.200 --> 01:12:50.640
And you know what this makes me think of today?

01:12:50.640 --> 01:12:54.000
We have an epidemic in our society of abortion.

01:12:54.400 --> 01:12:56.400
Let me just translate what abortion is.

01:12:56.400 --> 01:13:01.900
It's premeditated, first degree murder of a child.

01:13:01.900 --> 01:13:03.040
That's what it is.

01:13:03.040 --> 01:13:05.840
And you go online and you look up statistics

01:13:05.840 --> 01:13:07.680
on abortion in the United States.

01:13:07.680 --> 01:13:12.640
And did you know that one in four women, that's 25%.

01:13:13.700 --> 01:13:18.580
One in four women in the United States of America in childbearing age

01:13:18.900 --> 01:13:23.620
Will have murdered one of their children by ages four by age 45

01:13:25.020 --> 01:13:27.020
Let that sink in for a minute

01:13:27.540 --> 01:13:34.880
25 percent of the ladies you see in this world of childbearing age have committed first degree

01:13:35.740 --> 01:13:38.140
Premeditated murder. Why do we put up with this?

01:13:39.400 --> 01:13:41.800
Why do we allow this in society?

01:13:41.800 --> 01:13:42.800
I'll tell you why.

01:13:42.800 --> 01:13:44.300
Because men have allowed it.

01:13:44.300 --> 01:13:45.700
That's why.

01:13:45.700 --> 01:13:47.600
You know, I saw this idiot Ted Cruz,

01:13:47.600 --> 01:13:50.000
Senator Ted Cruz, post the other day.

01:13:50.000 --> 01:13:52.100
He made this post on Facebook and he said,

01:13:52.100 --> 01:13:55.600
God, save us from white women.

01:13:55.600 --> 01:13:56.800
And I just responded,

01:13:56.800 --> 01:13:59.600
Hey Ted, why don't you just file a bill

01:13:59.600 --> 01:14:01.700
to repeal the 19th Amendment?

01:14:01.700 --> 01:14:04.100
Why don't you just be an answer to prayer, Ted?

01:14:04.300 --> 01:14:08.260
Because you know this experiment of allowing women to vote has failed miserably

01:14:08.700 --> 01:14:14.400
You know why because we gave ladies the ability to vote and you know what their number one voting priority is

01:14:14.580 --> 01:14:17.020
Whether or not they can legally slaughter their child

01:14:17.700 --> 01:14:20.340
How did we get here because men allowed this to happen?

01:14:20.700 --> 01:14:26.180
Do you really think that if all of us men said hey, we're gonna go and change the laws in America

01:14:26.600 --> 01:14:31.660
Here's what would happen if I was dictator of America for a day or for a year, however long, right?

01:14:31.660 --> 01:14:35.240
Here's what I would do. I would say that anyone who goes and gets an abortion,

01:14:35.760 --> 01:14:44.380
any doctor who performs an abortion, and any father who consents to his girl getting an abortion, would be sentenced to death.

01:14:45.440 --> 01:14:51.520
Why? Because you know what? Whosoever shedeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed.

01:14:52.200 --> 01:14:55.480
You know what the Bible says? Go ahead and go if you would back to Leviticus chapter number 20.

01:14:56.520 --> 01:15:03.480
You know it's disgusting and it's a shame and reproach to the men of America that we just allow

01:15:04.120 --> 01:15:07.480
babies to be slaughtered by women in our country. It's disgusting.

01:15:08.360 --> 01:15:13.720
It's an embarrassment. And you know what? Herodias, she got mad. She wanted to kill

01:15:13.720 --> 01:15:16.200
John the Baptist. But you know what the Bible says? She could not.

01:15:17.000 --> 01:15:19.000
And you know what? We're stronger as men.

01:15:19.400 --> 01:15:21.960
Why do we allow this stuff to happen? Because we allowed it to happen.

01:15:22.760 --> 01:15:25.400
Look at the Bible says in Leviticus chapter 20 verse 1

01:15:25.960 --> 01:15:30.200
And the Lord spake unto Moses saying again thou shalt say to the children of Israel

01:15:30.580 --> 01:15:38.040
Whosoever he be of the children of Israel or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel that giveth any of his seed unto

01:15:38.260 --> 01:15:44.520
Molech he shall surely be put to death. See i'm not just preaching my opinion tonight. This is what the Bible says

01:15:46.300 --> 01:15:48.060
He shall surely be put to death.

01:15:48.060 --> 01:15:51.420
The people of the land shall stone him with stones,

01:15:51.420 --> 01:15:54.220
and I will set my face against that man,

01:15:54.220 --> 01:15:56.780
and will cut him off from among his people,

01:15:56.780 --> 01:15:59.820
because he hath given of a seed unto Molech

01:15:59.820 --> 01:16:01.660
to defile my sanctuary,

01:16:01.660 --> 01:16:04.300
and, notice, to profane my holy name."

01:16:04.300 --> 01:16:05.820
You know, one reason I'm against abortion

01:16:06.620 --> 01:16:08.460
is obviously because it takes the life

01:16:08.460 --> 01:16:10.700
of an innocent, precious baby.

01:16:11.500 --> 01:16:12.860
That baby did nothing wrong.

01:16:13.200 --> 01:16:16.720
What if it was the result of rape? That baby did nothing wrong.

01:16:16.720 --> 01:16:20.560
What if it was the result of incense? That baby did nothing wrong.

01:16:20.560 --> 01:16:24.800
You know, so one reason I'm against it is because it slaughters an innocent, pure child.

01:16:24.800 --> 01:16:28.000
You know another reason I'm against it is because it profanes the name of God.

01:16:28.800 --> 01:16:32.000
Right? What do we see here? Sacrificing your children unto Molech.

01:16:32.000 --> 01:16:36.160
The Bible says that it causes God's name to be profane.

01:16:36.160 --> 01:16:40.480
You know, it is a shame on America who traditionally has a Christian name,

01:16:40.480 --> 01:16:44.400
a Christian heritage that we are just slaughtering babies en masse in America.

01:16:44.400 --> 01:16:48.480
It profanes the name of God. And I'm angry about it. Verse four.

01:16:49.300 --> 01:16:51.700
Here's really another important aspect.

01:16:51.700 --> 01:16:58.100
It says, and if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man,

01:16:58.100 --> 01:17:00.820
when he giveth of a seed unto Molech and kill him not,

01:17:00.820 --> 01:17:06.180
then I will set my face against that man and against his family,

01:17:06.180 --> 01:17:13.000
and will cut him off and all that go a-whoring after him to commit whoredom with Molech.

01:17:13.000 --> 01:17:17.400
from among their people. So with God, there is no being neutral on this issue.

01:17:18.120 --> 01:17:24.200
It's not like you could just plug your ears and close your eyes and not worry about the millions

01:17:24.200 --> 01:17:28.440
of babies that are being slaughtered. The Bible says that you are partaking. Notice what it says.

01:17:28.440 --> 01:17:34.760
It says in all that go a whoring after him. So if you hide your eyes from it, he looks at you as

01:17:34.760 --> 01:17:39.560
going a whoring after moleck. Is that not what the Bible says right there? And the Bible says that

01:17:39.560 --> 01:17:40.560
that if you hide your eyes...

01:17:41.000 --> 01:17:45.000
You plug your ears to it that God is going to be angry at you.

01:17:45.000 --> 01:17:48.000
He's going to set my face against that man.

01:17:48.000 --> 01:17:49.000
So here's the thing.

01:17:49.000 --> 01:17:55.000
I may not be able to change the laws in America, but I could at least make it known what real Christians think about it

01:17:55.000 --> 01:17:58.000
so that God's face isn't against us.

01:17:58.000 --> 01:18:00.000
And you know what? You don't get to have a neutral opinion on this.

01:18:00.000 --> 01:18:03.000
God cares that your heart is on the right side of this thing.

01:18:03.000 --> 01:18:06.000
And it's not, you know, her body, her choice.

01:18:06.000 --> 01:18:09.000
It's are you on the side of the devil or not?

01:18:09.100 --> 01:18:13.020
because people who are pro-abortion, let's just be honest, they're on the side of the devil.

01:18:13.660 --> 01:18:20.460
It's not ignorance. We're living in 2026 America. We have 4D ultrasounds. You can see the child's

01:18:20.460 --> 01:18:24.860
heartbeat. You can see the child's face. It's not a clump of cells. It's a baby.

01:18:25.660 --> 01:18:29.580
Anyone denying that is just a worshiper of the devil. That's how I view them.

01:18:30.000 --> 01:18:33.000
You know, I'm not interested in placating people to disagree with me on this topic.

01:18:33.000 --> 01:18:35.800
You know, if you disagree with me on this topic, let me just make it very clear.

01:18:35.800 --> 01:18:38.300
I think you're an evil, wicked person who worships the devil.

01:18:38.300 --> 01:18:39.300
That's what I think.

01:18:39.600 --> 01:18:45.440
And so like we as Christians need to stop being all quiet and ashamed and scared of what people are going to think about us.

01:18:45.440 --> 01:18:51.040
You know what? Abortion is wicked as hell and we as men should have put a stop to it a long time ago.

01:18:51.040 --> 01:18:56.640
And would to God Ted Cruz would stop whining and crying acting like it's God's fault.

01:18:56.640 --> 01:19:01.840
Oh God save us from white women. Hey why don't you be the answer to that prayer? Aren't you in power?

01:19:02.200 --> 01:19:07.000
Aren't you in authority? Didn't a bunch of bozos have to pass the 19th Amendment to begin with?

01:19:07.000 --> 01:19:10.040
Why don't you just reverse it and be the answer to that prayer?

01:19:10.920 --> 01:19:12.840
I'm sure Candace Owens would love this sermon.

01:19:15.300 --> 01:19:22.740
Verse number 20. Notice for Herod feared John. His wife is mad, wants to kill him, but Herod

01:19:22.740 --> 01:19:28.740
actually has some fear for him. Why? Knowing that he was a just man and a holy and observed him.

01:19:28.740 --> 01:19:33.700
And when he heard him, he did many things and heard him gladly. So this is very interesting.

01:19:33.700 --> 01:19:38.820
Herod, when he hears John preach, he's actually hearing him gladly. He actually like is listening

01:19:38.820 --> 01:19:41.940
to what he has to say, but his wife is just way off.

01:19:42.500 --> 01:19:45.700
And you know what? Herod should have reigned in his wife.

01:19:45.700 --> 01:19:48.900
Herod should have been the one in control and say,

01:19:48.900 --> 01:19:51.300
Hey, yeah, he may have preached against us.

01:19:51.300 --> 01:19:55.300
He may have stepped on our toes, but what he said was straight from the Bible.

01:19:55.300 --> 01:19:59.500
What he said was right. He's a just man. He's a holy man.

01:19:59.500 --> 01:20:01.300
Herod has some fear here, but you know what?

01:20:01.300 --> 01:20:05.500
He's going to allow his cowardice and the fact that he's ruled by his wife

01:20:05.500 --> 01:20:07.900
to cause him to make a very bad decision.

01:20:08.800 --> 01:20:14.480
Verse number 21, it says, and when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made

01:20:14.480 --> 01:20:19.680
a supper to his lords, high captains and chief estates of Galilee.

01:20:19.680 --> 01:20:24.840
And when, notice, the daughter of the said Herodias came in and danced, first of all,

01:20:24.840 --> 01:20:27.040
it's like, why are you watching your wife's daughter dance?

01:20:27.040 --> 01:20:28.920
Isn't that pretty weird?

01:20:28.920 --> 01:20:31.840
Just enjoying your wife's daughter dancing in front of you?

01:20:31.840 --> 01:20:33.280
It's like, what a weird thing to do.

01:20:33.280 --> 01:20:35.080
It says, and it pleased Herod.

01:20:35.600 --> 01:20:42.960
them that sat with him the king said unto the damsel ask of me whatsoever thou wilt and I will give it thee

01:20:42.960 --> 01:20:44.960
You know this is this is a simp

01:20:45.280 --> 01:20:52.400
This is what we would call a simp. What is a simp a guy who will just do anything for a woman's attention

01:20:52.900 --> 01:20:57.100
A girl catches his eye and he's just gonna do whatever she wants.

01:20:57.100 --> 01:21:01.500
He's gonna throw his morals out the window, his convictions, his standards,

01:21:01.500 --> 01:21:05.400
all because this young lady just danced and it pleased him.

01:21:05.400 --> 01:21:09.100
And this is a good reminder, by the way, that Proverbs 31 says,

01:21:09.100 --> 01:21:11.800
not to give your strength unto women.

01:21:11.800 --> 01:21:14.400
And specifically, that was written to a king.

01:21:14.700 --> 01:21:18.540
King Lemuel, the Bible says, hey, don't give your strength

01:21:18.540 --> 01:21:20.140
unto women.

01:21:20.140 --> 01:21:20.640
Why?

01:21:20.640 --> 01:21:22.580
Because by giving your strength unto women,

01:21:22.580 --> 01:21:25.580
it's going to cause you to go down a very dark path.

01:21:25.580 --> 01:21:27.660
And we need some men today that are

01:21:27.660 --> 01:21:30.300
willing to not give their strength unto women, that

01:21:30.300 --> 01:21:32.540
are willing to actually be strong men.

01:21:32.540 --> 01:21:34.660
Because it's like, why oftentimes,

01:21:34.660 --> 01:21:37.060
let's talk about abortion again, why oftentimes

01:21:37.060 --> 01:21:39.820
are all these women getting abortions?

01:21:39.820 --> 01:21:41.620
Because they got knocked up by being a whore.

01:21:41.620 --> 01:21:42.180
That's why.

01:21:42.600 --> 01:21:46.380
Because they're committing fornication. They're not being with someone within marriage

01:21:46.380 --> 01:21:54.440
They're doing that before marriage because some simp couldn't control himself and actually work hard and actually love a woman and actually put a ring

01:21:54.440 --> 01:21:57.480
On it and then get to enjoy that relationship for the rest of their life

01:21:57.480 --> 01:21:57.960
No

01:21:57.960 --> 01:22:03.840
He just had to give that up right away because he's a simp and now she feels desperate and she murders her child

01:22:04.200 --> 01:22:06.200
Right, so this is connected here

01:22:06.520 --> 01:22:07.800
Then it says

01:22:08.100 --> 01:22:10.980
He says, Oh, just ask of me whatsoever that will whatever you want.

01:22:11.700 --> 01:22:20.660
And he swear under her whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it the unto the half of my

01:22:20.660 --> 01:22:24.340
kingdom foolish, foolish vow. Don't ever make a vow like this.

01:22:25.300 --> 01:22:31.780
Then it says, and she went forth and said unto her mother, what shall I ask? And she said,

01:22:31.780 --> 01:22:34.820
the head of John the Baptist.

01:22:35.000 --> 01:22:39.360
So Herodias, she could not kill John the Baptist on her own.

01:22:39.360 --> 01:22:45.720
She had to manipulate her husband and she had to use the man's authority to enact this

01:22:45.720 --> 01:22:47.720
wicked act that she wanted to do.

01:22:47.720 --> 01:22:48.960
Because the Bible says she could not.

01:22:48.960 --> 01:22:53.040
And you know, there's a lot of men today that are just allowing their wives to be wicked

01:22:53.040 --> 01:22:54.480
and we need to rein that stuff in.

01:22:54.900 --> 01:23:01.580
We need to make sure that as men we are being the leaders in our home and not allowing our wives to do wicked stuff.

01:23:01.580 --> 01:23:04.580
And look, I doubt that you're in a situation like this or ever will be,

01:23:04.580 --> 01:23:10.580
but God forbid if you were, you need to put your foot down and actually rule and reign as the king of your castle.

01:23:11.580 --> 01:23:16.580
Okay, it says, the head of John the Baptist, and she came in straightway with haste unto the king.

01:23:16.900 --> 01:23:23.780
and asked saying, I will that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist.

01:23:24.420 --> 01:23:31.700
And the king was exceeding sorry, yet for his oath sake and for their sakes which sat with him,

01:23:31.700 --> 01:23:37.140
right, he's trying to save face, he would not reject her. He wants to, he wants to look tough

01:23:37.140 --> 01:23:40.980
in front of everyone. He doesn't want to lose face that he's going to go back on his word or

01:23:40.980 --> 01:23:44.340
something like that. And so he's like, put himself in this no win situation.

01:23:44.900 --> 01:23:49.460
And oftentimes people don't want to correct issues because then they just have to admit that they were wrong at one point

01:23:49.860 --> 01:23:52.100
And so he doesn't want to do that. He's got a safe face

01:23:52.900 --> 01:23:54.820
Verse 27 and immediately

01:23:54.820 --> 01:24:00.980
The king sent an executioner and commanded his head to be brought and he went and beheaded him in the prison

01:24:01.780 --> 01:24:06.100
And brought his head in a charger and gave it to the damsel and the damsel gave it to her mother

01:24:06.660 --> 01:24:10.840
And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his corpse and laid it in a tomb

01:24:11.200 --> 01:24:15.920
The apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus and told him all things, both what

01:24:15.920 --> 01:24:20.760
they had done and what they had taught.

01:24:20.760 --> 01:24:24.840
As Christians, we have to expect hostility from the world.

01:24:24.840 --> 01:24:28.440
You have to count the cost before you sign up to be a Baptist preacher.

01:24:28.800 --> 01:24:33.800
Because you know what John the Baptist did nothing wrong here. He wasn't bringing it on himself

01:24:34.240 --> 01:24:37.820
He wasn't persecution hungry. You know what he did. He was just preaching the truth

01:24:37.820 --> 01:24:43.160
He was just being faithful to the Word of God and by just preaching the truth being faithful to the Word of God

01:24:43.160 --> 01:24:48.260
It caused him to end up losing his head. But here's the thing. Of course John the Baptist

01:24:48.260 --> 01:24:51.120
I don't think he right now regrets having preached hard

01:24:51.500 --> 01:24:57.700
I don't think he has any regrets for taking the stands that he took because right now he's rich in heaven

01:24:57.840 --> 01:25:01.120
He got him. He's got a new head. All right, it's all good, right?

01:25:01.120 --> 01:25:06.500
Look just have some faith in your life not to be one of these cowards that backs off. It doesn't take a stand

01:25:06.500 --> 01:25:11.300
You know, hey, we're Baptist. Let's be like John the Baptist and be willing to take the hard stands of our day

01:25:12.700 --> 01:25:13.980
Then we go to verse 31, it says,

01:25:13.980 --> 01:25:16.380
And he came, I'm sorry, and he said unto them,

01:25:16.380 --> 01:25:19.660
Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place,

01:25:19.660 --> 01:25:21.580
And rest awhile.

01:25:21.580 --> 01:25:23.420
For they were many coming and going,

01:25:23.420 --> 01:25:26.540
And they had no leisure so much as to eat.

01:25:26.700 --> 01:25:31.460
So hey the work of the ministry should be work right these men are actually working hard

01:25:31.660 --> 01:25:38.060
They're not being lazy bums the Bible says they don't even have the convenience of eating and so Jesus is like hey

01:25:38.100 --> 01:25:40.580
Let's go apart to a desert place

01:25:40.580 --> 01:25:46.620
Let's go apart to a secluded area and let's rest and you know, I do believe that Jesus Christ

01:25:47.260 --> 01:25:54.660
Values rest that he cares about us getting rest. Of course. He gives us the Sabbath day six days shout thou do all

01:25:54.700 --> 01:26:00.300
I labor and you rest the seventh day. You know, God is not trying to just work us to the absolute bone here

01:26:00.300 --> 01:26:04.100
He says hey, let's go across let's rest nothing wrong with taking a day off

01:26:04.620 --> 01:26:08.220
And they departed into a desert place by ship privately

01:26:08.260 --> 01:26:10.900
So they're getting their vacation, but it quickly ends

01:26:10.900 --> 01:26:17.500
it says and the people saw them departing and many knew him and ran a foot thither out of all cities and

01:26:17.820 --> 01:26:20.060
Outwent them and came together

01:26:20.780 --> 01:26:22.300
unto him so

01:26:22.300 --> 01:26:23.800
Talk about crashing a party.

01:26:23.800 --> 01:26:25.500
They're going to have a little private vacation,

01:26:25.500 --> 01:26:28.800
and just the whole city just starts running out to them.

01:26:28.800 --> 01:26:32.200
It says, and Jesus, when he came out, saw much people,

01:26:32.200 --> 01:26:36.800
known as this, and was moved with compassion toward them,

01:26:36.800 --> 01:26:40.400
because they were as sheep, not having a shepherd,

01:26:40.400 --> 01:26:42.400
and he began to teach them many things.

01:26:42.400 --> 01:26:45.100
You know, Jesus Christ is truly the greatest leader

01:26:45.100 --> 01:26:46.300
to have ever existed.

01:26:46.500 --> 01:26:50.820
because even at a time where it's like all right let's get ourselves some rest

01:26:50.820 --> 01:26:55.860
let's get you know let's have a little bit of a us day and just relax you know when Jesus saw

01:26:55.860 --> 01:27:02.980
that someone else had a need he was willing to put aside his needs his plans his ideas he saw

01:27:02.980 --> 01:27:08.180
people the bible says he was moved with compassion doesn't say he was kind of you know ticked off

01:27:08.180 --> 01:27:12.100
about it he was a little upset that someone's ruining his day he just saw someone that had a

01:27:12.100 --> 01:27:14.260
need and he was just moved with compassion

01:27:14.500 --> 01:27:16.180
and he was willing to help those people.

01:27:16.180 --> 01:27:18.500
You know, that's how we should be, especially as soul winners.

01:27:19.300 --> 01:27:22.980
that not every situation in your life is it just going to be like,

01:27:22.980 --> 01:27:26.660
hey, only out soul winning when you're knocking doors do people need the gospel.

01:27:26.660 --> 01:27:30.100
You're probably going to be presented with other situations in your day to day life

01:27:30.100 --> 01:27:32.820
where it would be very easy to give someone the gospel.

01:27:32.820 --> 01:27:36.420
And you know, we as Christians should be moved with compassion during those times

01:27:36.420 --> 01:27:38.820
and not just be like, well, I'm doing something.

01:27:38.820 --> 01:27:40.740
Well, I'm busy. Well, I had something planned.

01:27:40.740 --> 01:27:43.220
Look, I get it. Sometimes you literally can't move your schedule.

01:27:43.220 --> 01:27:45.060
But if we're honest, sometimes we can, can't we?

01:27:45.800 --> 01:27:47.300
Sometimes we can say, you know what?

01:27:47.300 --> 01:27:51.020
I can put this off for a few minutes and I could preach this person the gospel

01:27:51.020 --> 01:27:54.500
You know, we should do that because that's the exact example that Jesus gave us

01:27:55.160 --> 01:28:00.840
Verse 35 when the day was now far spent his disciples came unto him and said

01:28:01.080 --> 01:28:07.580
This is a desert place and now the time is far past. I don't know about you. I sense some sarcasm here saying

01:28:07.580 --> 01:28:11.920
Oh, yeah, this is a secluded place. All right with our hundreds of guests that followed us

01:28:12.400 --> 01:28:14.960
Oh, the day is over, the time is far past.

01:28:14.960 --> 01:28:20.040
Notice they say, send them away, that they may go into the country roundabout and into

01:28:20.040 --> 01:28:24.040
the villages and buy themselves bread, for they have nothing to eat.

01:28:24.040 --> 01:28:27.920
So notice they have the exact opposite feeling that Jesus has.

01:28:27.920 --> 01:28:31.120
And look, I think if we're honest, we probably all would have bad days like this where this

01:28:31.120 --> 01:28:35.840
is how we feel, where we just want our rest, we want time to ourselves, and he says, you

01:28:35.840 --> 01:28:36.720
know, just send them away.

01:28:37.500 --> 01:28:39.580
But notice what Jesus said in verse 37.

01:28:39.580 --> 01:28:43.620
He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat.

01:28:43.620 --> 01:28:47.380
And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred

01:28:47.380 --> 01:28:50.900
Penny worth of bread, and give them to eat?

01:28:50.900 --> 01:28:52.900
He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye?

01:28:52.900 --> 01:28:54.180
Go and see.

01:28:54.180 --> 01:28:57.220
When they knew, they say, Five and two fishes.

01:28:57.220 --> 01:28:59.540
They commanded them to make all sit down by companies

01:28:59.540 --> 01:29:01.240
upon the green grass.

01:29:01.240 --> 01:29:04.220
And they sat down in ranks by hundreds and by fifties.

01:29:04.900 --> 01:29:09.460
When he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven and blessed

01:29:09.460 --> 01:29:15.220
and broke the loaves and gave them to his disciples to set before them.

01:29:15.220 --> 01:29:20.140
And the two fishes divided he among them all.

01:29:20.500 --> 01:29:27.780
So of course Jesus performs a great miracle here dividing five loaves and two fishes to

01:29:27.780 --> 01:29:29.700
feed this great multitude of people.

01:29:29.700 --> 01:29:32.100
There's some spiritual pictures here I want to point out.

01:29:32.100 --> 01:29:33.460
One, Jesus does what?

01:29:33.460 --> 01:29:34.460
He breaks the bread.

01:29:34.460 --> 01:29:36.180
I wonder what that could be talking about.

01:29:36.180 --> 01:29:38.980
Of course Jesus said that he is the bread of life.

01:29:39.400 --> 01:29:42.580
that he gives his flesh for the world.

01:29:42.580 --> 01:29:44.200
So he breaks the bread,

01:29:44.200 --> 01:29:45.900
picturing the death of Jesus Christ,

01:29:45.900 --> 01:29:47.440
picturing his sacrifice.

01:29:47.440 --> 01:29:48.600
And then you'll notice something else

01:29:48.600 --> 01:29:50.300
that's very interesting about this.

01:29:50.300 --> 01:29:53.200
Jesus didn't break the bread, divide the bread,

01:29:53.200 --> 01:29:55.760
and then him personally go hand it out

01:29:55.760 --> 01:29:56.860
to every single group.

01:29:56.860 --> 01:29:57.700
You know what he did?

01:29:57.700 --> 01:30:00.000
He gave the bread to his disciples,

01:30:00.000 --> 01:30:02.920
and his disciples gave to the multitude,

01:30:02.920 --> 01:30:05.220
which is a picture of soul winning.

01:30:05.500 --> 01:30:11.560
Now people who are lazy and do nothing constantly want to attack soul winning and say we don't get anyone saved

01:30:11.680 --> 01:30:16.460
You're not doing anything when you go out soul winning. Well, okay, we're the disciples passing out the bread to people

01:30:17.260 --> 01:30:22.960
Because guess what they were and that's exactly what we're doing out soul winning. We're not saying that we're performing the miracle

01:30:23.500 --> 01:30:26.700
Breaking the bread Jesus performed the miracle

01:30:26.700 --> 01:30:34.040
But you know what the Apostles are distributing that to the people just like how we take Jesus the gospel of Jesus Christ

01:30:34.040 --> 01:30:36.240
And we all we're doing is handing it out to people

01:30:36.560 --> 01:30:41.120
We're just delivering it to people and it's a great picture of soul winning also

01:30:41.120 --> 01:30:45.920
There's another picture here in verse 42. It says and they did all eat and

01:30:46.900 --> 01:30:50.160
Were filled keep your place there. Go to John chapter number six

01:30:51.000 --> 01:30:56.900
John chapter number six, you know, I like how Jesus's sacrifice is sufficient for all

01:30:57.600 --> 01:31:03.320
All of those people there Jesus died for all of their sins and it was sufficient there verse number 32

01:31:04.280 --> 01:31:08.080
Notice what it says then Jesus said unto them verily verily I say unto you

01:31:08.440 --> 01:31:10.360
Moses gave you not that bread from heaven

01:31:10.360 --> 01:31:17.200
But my father giveth you the true bread from heaven for the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven and giveth?

01:31:17.200 --> 01:31:18.700
life unto the world

01:31:18.900 --> 01:31:23.620
They then said they unto him lord evermore give us this bread and jesus said unto them

01:31:24.100 --> 01:31:29.380
I am the bread of life he that cometh to me notice this shall never hunger

01:31:29.780 --> 01:31:32.980
And he that believeth on me shall never thirst

01:31:33.540 --> 01:31:39.000
What did it say mark six it says and they did all eat and were filled?

01:31:39.500 --> 01:31:43.660
Right, which is a great picture of the fact that once you are saved you're always saved

01:31:43.920 --> 01:31:48.780
That when you partake of the bread of life when you partake of that spiritual bread you are

01:31:49.180 --> 01:31:55.520
Filled that sacrifice was enough to feed everyone to get to every single person and it's enough to

01:31:56.060 --> 01:32:00.400
Fill us to satisfy us and that satisfaction is an eternal one

01:32:00.600 --> 01:32:05.980
Because of the fact that the Bible teaches that we have what kind of life eternal life not temporary life

01:32:07.100 --> 01:32:14.940
Go back to Mark 6 verse number 30 verse number 43 it says and they took up 12 baskets full of the fragments and

01:32:15.580 --> 01:32:19.740
Of the fishes and they that did eat of the loaves were about

01:32:20.760 --> 01:32:25.020
5,000 men so five loaves two fishes ended up satisfying

01:32:26.440 --> 01:32:33.020
5,000 men doesn't even list there the women and children. You know what else that shows us that god can do a lot with a little

01:32:33.600 --> 01:32:36.000
Right, you start off with just a little bit,

01:32:36.000 --> 01:32:38.100
but you know what, that little bit can be multiplied

01:32:38.100 --> 01:32:41.800
to 5,000 or more, just like how us here,

01:32:41.800 --> 01:32:43.500
you know, oh, we're just a little church,

01:32:43.500 --> 01:32:46.300
we're just a few soul winners, I'm just one person,

01:32:46.300 --> 01:32:47.800
but you know what, if you're actually faithful

01:32:47.800 --> 01:32:49.400
throughout your life to soul winning,

01:32:49.400 --> 01:32:51.700
you could get a lot of people saved.

01:32:51.700 --> 01:32:53.100
You could reach a lot of people.

01:32:53.100 --> 01:32:55.300
Honestly, 5,000 salvations,

01:32:55.300 --> 01:32:57.300
it's not even gonna take that long to do that.

01:32:57.500 --> 01:33:03.100
You know our church started in November of 2024 and we're already like well over

01:33:03.420 --> 01:33:09.740
3,500 salvations since that time so it's like we're almost there already, you know 5,000. That's not even really that much

01:33:09.740 --> 01:33:14.700
That's like, you know a year. How much would that be in Philippines? Is that like a month? Is that two months?

01:33:14.700 --> 01:33:17.260
I don't know how long would it take to get 5,000 salvations there a

01:33:18.820 --> 01:33:21.480
Few years for 5,000 salvations

01:33:23.100 --> 01:33:28.620
Yeah, maybe like three people. I feel like pastor Stuckey and his group could do that way faster. Anyways, you get the point here

01:33:28.940 --> 01:33:30.940
Let's keep reading. Let's go to

01:33:31.340 --> 01:33:33.340
verse number

01:33:33.380 --> 01:33:37.500
45 it says in straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the ship and

01:33:37.700 --> 01:33:39.980
To go to the other side before unto Bethsaida

01:33:41.100 --> 01:33:47.460
While he sent away the people so he's he's sending his disciples off and he's kind of staying behind

01:33:48.400 --> 01:33:54.200
Cleaning up after the event. He's sending everyone a well. It just goes to show like he does care about the welfare of his disciples

01:33:54.200 --> 01:33:56.200
Yeah, they did work through their day off

01:33:56.280 --> 01:34:02.340
But still he's like you guys start going and he stays back and he sends everyone away showing of course great leadership there

01:34:02.880 --> 01:34:06.640
Then it says in verse 46 and he when he had sent them away

01:34:07.120 --> 01:34:11.000
He departed into a mountain to pray

01:34:11.800 --> 01:34:17.640
As I always say, you know, you're never too busy to pray and when you're serving when you're working in the ministry

01:34:17.920 --> 01:34:21.060
just as important it is to serve and pour into people is

01:34:21.760 --> 01:34:28.340
Getting time with God and God pouring into you and talking with the Lord and getting your prayers before him

01:34:28.700 --> 01:34:31.020
Jesus did that as an example for us verse 47

01:34:31.640 --> 01:34:36.580
When even was come the ship was in the midst of the sea and he alone on the land

01:34:37.040 --> 01:34:39.220
He saw them toiling and rowing

01:34:39.700 --> 01:34:44.960
For the wind was contrary unto them, and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto

01:34:44.960 --> 01:34:52.200
them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them."

01:34:52.200 --> 01:34:56.120
Like he's just walking on the water and the Bible says Jesus, he would have just kept

01:34:56.120 --> 01:34:57.120
going.

01:34:57.120 --> 01:34:59.200
Like he would have just walked by him just casually.

01:34:59.200 --> 01:35:03.480
You're on the ship and Jesus would have just casually just kept walking by on the other.

01:35:03.480 --> 01:35:05.320
He would have just passed by.

01:35:05.320 --> 01:35:06.340
But.

01:35:07.000 --> 01:35:09.700
when they saw him walking upon the sea,

01:35:09.700 --> 01:35:12.980
they suppose that it had been a spirit and cried out.

01:35:12.980 --> 01:35:15.280
So they're not even recognizing this is Jesus.

01:35:15.280 --> 01:35:17.320
They think this is some sort of apparition,

01:35:17.320 --> 01:35:19.820
some sort of spirit, and they're just freaked out.

01:35:19.820 --> 01:35:22.820
You know, Jesus was just gonna keep on walking by.

01:35:22.820 --> 01:35:23.660
They're scared.

01:35:24.660 --> 01:35:26.520
And he went up unto them into the ship,

01:35:26.520 --> 01:35:27.660
or I'm sorry, verse 50.

01:35:28.100 --> 01:35:32.900
And they all saw him and were troubled, and immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them,

01:35:32.900 --> 01:35:36.260
Be of good cheer, it is I, be not afraid.

01:35:36.600 --> 01:35:43.960
And he went up unto them into the ship and the wind ceased notice their reaction and they were sore amazed in themselves

01:35:44.520 --> 01:35:46.120
beyond measure

01:35:46.120 --> 01:35:49.960
And wondered right so these people are just floored

01:35:50.360 --> 01:35:55.160
They're getting carpet burn on their bottom lip their jaws hit the floor. They're just like

01:35:55.780 --> 01:35:58.680
Astonished out of measure at what has happened here

01:35:59.400 --> 01:36:03.560
And we'll come back to verse 52. Let's read the rest of this chapter here. It says four

01:36:04.400 --> 01:36:07.920
They considered not the miracle of the loaves, for their heart was hardened.

01:36:08.720 --> 01:36:13.360
When they had passed over, they came into the land of Geneseret and drew to the shore.

01:36:13.360 --> 01:36:17.600
When they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him, and ran throughout, through that

01:36:17.600 --> 01:36:23.440
whole region round about, began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.

01:36:23.440 --> 01:36:28.480
And whithersoever he entered into villages or cities or country, they laid the sick in the

01:36:28.480 --> 01:36:31.080
the streets and sought him that they might touch.

01:36:31.400 --> 01:36:38.200
if it were but the border of his garment and as many as touched him were made whole. I think the

01:36:38.200 --> 01:36:43.640
most important thought just closing up this chapter is verse 52. Let's read this one more time. It says

01:36:43.640 --> 01:36:48.100
notice for they considered not the miracle of the loaves.

01:36:48.200 --> 01:36:52.240
For their heart was hardened so the Bible tells us

01:36:52.580 --> 01:36:58.160
Why the disciples had such a shocked reaction to Jesus walking on the water?

01:36:58.260 --> 01:37:03.280
Why they were astonished above measure because here's thing knowing what we know about the Lord Jesus Christ

01:37:03.920 --> 01:37:10.240
Knowing that he's God knowing that he's the Creator knowing that he's all-powerful when I tell you hey Jesus walked on water

01:37:10.240 --> 01:37:16.020
We're like, yeah, we expect that because he's God we we know that Jesus Christ could do all things. Hey, he's

01:37:16.200 --> 01:37:18.080
The mighty God, we know that.

01:37:18.080 --> 01:37:20.120
But why is it that they were so shocked?

01:37:20.120 --> 01:37:21.080
It tells us why.

01:37:21.080 --> 01:37:25.240
For they considered not the miracle of the loaves.

01:37:25.240 --> 01:37:29.020
They were more focused and they were more upset

01:37:29.020 --> 01:37:31.160
about the fact that they lost their day off.

01:37:31.400 --> 01:37:35.320
They were kind of getting a little snarky. They're saying, hey, this is a desert place

01:37:35.880 --> 01:37:37.880
That now the time is far past

01:37:38.440 --> 01:37:44.120
They're a little upset that they didn't stop to consider this great miracle that jesus did

01:37:44.840 --> 01:37:50.840
And by not considering one miracle that jesus did all of a sudden they're shocked and astonished

01:37:51.240 --> 01:37:57.740
Of another miracle that jesus did why we don't have to guess why the bible says why their heart was hardened

01:37:58.400 --> 01:38:00.080
Now that's pretty sad.

01:38:00.080 --> 01:38:03.840
It's pretty sad to think about someone just in the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ

01:38:03.840 --> 01:38:09.680
going through the ministry, yet in their hearts these people are kind of just going through the motions.

01:38:09.680 --> 01:38:15.600
They're there with Jesus, they're serving the people, but they don't have a good attitude while they're doing it.

01:38:15.600 --> 01:38:17.920
They're not happy while they're doing it.

01:38:17.920 --> 01:38:21.600
They're not excited to be doing this with the Lord Jesus Christ,

01:38:21.600 --> 01:38:25.280
and as a result they're missing out on the miracles that are being done.

01:38:25.500 --> 01:38:32.620
They're not really getting to fully appreciate the great opportunity that they have to be serving Jesus Christ because their heart is hard now

01:38:32.620 --> 01:38:37.700
Let me tell you something. There is no difference between the Apostles here the disciples here and many Christians today

01:38:38.620 --> 01:38:39.740
though

01:38:39.740 --> 01:38:45.660
Jesus Christ is not physically with us though. We do not physically see him performing miracles

01:38:45.660 --> 01:38:49.660
Let me tell you something Jesus is performing miracles in our lives all the time

01:38:50.300 --> 01:38:54.700
You know why? Because a couple people got saved during the ladies holding time yesterday,

01:38:54.700 --> 01:38:59.580
and because a couple people got saved today, and because we got seven people saved on Sunday,

01:38:59.580 --> 01:39:04.300
and because we got 17 people saved on Saturday. Let me tell you what, God is working miracles in

01:39:04.300 --> 01:39:07.900
this church, but there's a lot of people, I'm not saying necessarily here, maybe you are,

01:39:08.540 --> 01:39:10.140
that are just going through the motions.

01:39:10.700 --> 01:39:15.820
and you just show up to soul winning and you just show up to church but your heart is hardened out.

01:39:15.820 --> 01:39:20.300
Let me warn you if you do that you're going to be missing out on all these great miracles

01:39:20.300 --> 01:39:26.140
that are being done before our eyes. Now look I don't want to just be there with Jesus and be

01:39:26.140 --> 01:39:31.020
going through the motions. I want to be excited about the works that he's doing. I want to be like wow!

01:39:31.200 --> 01:39:34.040
I'm a disciple of Jesus Christ.

01:39:34.040 --> 01:39:36.040
Wow, here's Jesus doing miracles,

01:39:36.040 --> 01:39:38.720
and I'm a co-laborer together with him.

01:39:38.720 --> 01:39:41.600
And wow, look at the great difference that we're making

01:39:41.600 --> 01:39:44.320
for the kingdom of God with Jesus Christ here.

01:39:44.320 --> 01:39:46.680
I wanna be excited about the things of God,

01:39:46.680 --> 01:39:48.800
not have a hard heart.

01:39:48.800 --> 01:39:50.800
Because you know what, it starts with a hard heart,

01:39:50.800 --> 01:39:53.800
and people just not appreciating the work of God,

01:39:53.800 --> 01:39:55.480
and you know what it ends up leading to,

01:39:55.480 --> 01:39:58.040
is people just forsaking the work of God.

01:39:58.500 --> 01:40:04.300
Many people, it starts with a hard heart, they get bitter, it leads to them just completely forsaking the work of God.

01:40:04.300 --> 01:40:06.300
You know what? That's a wasted life.

01:40:06.300 --> 01:40:13.800
We are not here in this world to please ourselves, to go on vacation, to make a bunch of money, to enjoy this world.

01:40:13.800 --> 01:40:17.700
We are here, the whole reason we're here is to serve the Lord Jesus Christ.

01:40:17.700 --> 01:40:21.000
So look, if we're going to be serving Him, why don't we actually do it with a good attitude?

01:40:21.400 --> 01:40:25.720
Why don't we do it with a good heart? Why don't we get excited about works that are being done?

01:40:25.720 --> 01:40:28.840
Not like, oh, another soul winning marathon. I can't believe it.

01:40:29.560 --> 01:40:33.000
It's like, just join the soul winning marathon. Enjoy the free food. Have some fun.

01:40:33.560 --> 01:40:36.360
Go get some people saved and be happy for once. Right.

01:40:36.920 --> 01:40:40.120
Not just be like, oh, we have to serve God. It's like we get to serve God.

01:40:40.120 --> 01:40:44.440
We get to go to church. We get to read the Bible. What do we, what do we not want to do?

01:40:44.440 --> 01:40:47.560
We don't want to allow familiarity to breed contempt.

01:40:48.600 --> 01:40:53.620
Be like, oh, it's just Jesus. It's just church. It's just the Bible. It's just soul-winning last place

01:40:53.620 --> 01:40:58.480
We'll have you turn if you would go to Proverbs chapter number four Proverbs chapter number four

01:40:59.400 --> 01:41:01.780
Be very careful about your heart getting hardened

01:41:02.160 --> 01:41:04.160
You need to constantly be renewing your heart

01:41:04.160 --> 01:41:10.400
You need to constantly keep a soft heart towards the things of God last verse Bible says in Proverbs 4 verse 23

01:41:10.440 --> 01:41:14.340
It says keep thy heart with all diligence

01:41:14.900 --> 01:41:18.340
for out of it are the issues of life.

01:41:18.340 --> 01:41:20.820
Do not allow your heart to get hardened.

01:41:20.820 --> 01:41:24.100
If your heart gets hardened and it stays that way,

01:41:24.100 --> 01:41:26.620
we'll see you leave the work of God.

01:41:26.620 --> 01:41:27.860
We'll see you leave church.

01:41:27.860 --> 01:41:29.220
We'll see you lose your salvation,

01:41:29.220 --> 01:41:30.740
but Christians who get a hard heart,

01:41:30.740 --> 01:41:32.500
we'll see them leave the work of God.

01:41:32.500 --> 01:41:34.620
We'll see them not accomplishing much for Him.

01:41:34.620 --> 01:41:38.460
We'll see them pretty poor on the judgment seat of Christ.

01:41:38.460 --> 01:41:39.980
We need to keep our heart, what does the Bible say?

01:41:39.980 --> 01:41:41.020
With all diligence.

01:41:41.020 --> 01:41:41.860
You know what that takes?

01:41:41.860 --> 01:41:42.500
Effort.

01:41:42.800 --> 01:41:45.700
If you have a soft heart towards the things of God, you know why that happens?

01:41:45.700 --> 01:41:48.200
Because you wanted to have a soft heart.

01:41:48.200 --> 01:41:52.600
If you're cheerful in the things of God, and you're joyous, and you're excited about serving God,

01:41:52.600 --> 01:41:55.100
the reason you feel that way is because you want to feel that way.

01:41:55.100 --> 01:41:59.300
Because you're walking in the Spirit, because you're feeding the new man by reading the Word of God,

01:41:59.300 --> 01:42:01.100
going to church, getting around these things.

01:42:01.100 --> 01:42:04.600
You know, the last warning I want to leave you on is just don't get a hard heart.

01:42:04.600 --> 01:42:07.200
It will hinder your Christian walk. Let's pray.

01:42:07.200 --> 01:42:10.100
Lord, thank you for your Word. Thank you for Mark, chapter number six.

01:42:10.400 --> 01:42:16.720
I pray that you just continue to reveal truth to us throughout this Bible study and help us to make application in our lives

01:42:17.120 --> 01:42:19.680
Lord, I pray that you would bring us home safely this evening

01:42:20.000 --> 01:42:24.800
And I pray that you just help this church to continue to reach people with the gospel of jesus christ

01:42:24.960 --> 01:42:26.960
And it's in jesus name. We pray amen

01:42:36.100 --> 01:42:41.100
For our last hymn this evening, turn if you would to 172.

01:42:45.500 --> 01:42:53.500
Hymn number 172, 172, love divine all loves excelling.

01:42:55.500 --> 01:42:56.500
172.

01:43:14.000 --> 01:43:16.000
172 let's sing it out together.
