7
\n00:00:28,600 –> 00:00:31,500
\nweek for you to listen.
\nWith a short intro beforehand to<\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:31,500 –> 00:00:33,900
\nkind of set the stage for the
\ntalk you’re about to hear and <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:33,900 –> 00:00:44,800
\nnow let’s hear more about this
\nweek’s talk for talk this week <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:44,800 –> 00:00:47,200
\nwe’re listening to an excitation
\nthat was given by brother Dave <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:47,200 –> 00:00:50,100
\nJennings a few weeks ago at
\ntheir Verdugo Hills, Ecclesia. <\/p>\n

12
\n00:00:50,700 –> 00:00:53,900
\nAnd the subject of his
\nexcitation is coming from Hebrew<\/p>\n

13
\n00:00:53,900 –> 00:00:59,800
\n13, as well as the passage in
\nMark chapter 1 verses 16 through<\/p>\n

14
\n00:01:00,000 –> 00:01:07,100
\nMoney specifically where Jesus
\nis talking to his disciples and <\/p>\n

15
\n00:01:07,200 –> 00:01:09,600
\nthey are in the process of
\namending their Nets. <\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:09,600 –> 00:01:13,300
\nAnd the the main point of
\nbrother, Dave’s excitation is <\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:13,300 –> 00:01:16,900
\nfocusing on that word.
\nMending, the Greek word there is<\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:16,900 –> 00:01:20,900
\ncat Ortiz, 0 and the idea behind
\nit is to completely or <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:20,900 –> 00:01:26,900
\nthoroughly repair and almost to
\nput back together perfectly and <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:27,400 –> 00:01:31,200
\nthe basic idea of it is the
\nmental ending in the building up<\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:31,200 –> 00:01:35,600
\nof ourselves in our life now as
\nit leads to our life. <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:36,300 –> 00:01:42,600
\nWhen the kingdom comes, And the
\npreparation that God puts each <\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:42,600 –> 00:01:45,600
\nof us through.
\nAnd in preparing us for those <\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:45,600 –> 00:01:48,400
\nthings gives us the opportunity
\nto do more. <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:48,400 –> 00:01:51,100
\nAnd one of the points that
\nbrother they’ve made that I <\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:51,100 –> 00:01:56,300
\nreally enjoyed in this is that
\nsometimes you may not feel <\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:56,300 –> 00:01:58,800
\nprepared for something that God
\nhas put before you. <\/p>\n

28
\n00:01:59,400 –> 00:02:03,300
\nBut there are times when it
\nwill, when he has put things in <\/p>\n

29
\n00:02:03,308 –> 00:02:06,200
\nour lives to prepare us, even
\nthough we don’t realize that he <\/p>\n

30
\n00:02:06,200 –> 00:02:10,000
\ngave the example of David who
\nDave First face down a lion and <\/p>\n

31
\n00:02:10,000 –> 00:02:13,600
\na bear before you face Goliath.
\nNow, if you would, ask David <\/p>\n

32
\n00:02:13,600 –> 00:02:17,800
\nbefore he went to fight Goliath
\nand he was honest, even though <\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:17,800 –> 00:02:20,900
\nhe had faith that God would be
\nwith him, it’s quite a jump to <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:20,900 –> 00:02:24,600
\ngo from a wild animal to a man
\nof war and in the same way, God <\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:24,600 –> 00:02:28,500
\nis preparing us for things and
\nsometimes it may seem beyond <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:28,500 –> 00:02:31,000
\nwhat we can do.
\nBut if it’s something that we <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:31,000 –> 00:02:32,700
\ncan do, we step forward, we do
\nit. <\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:32,700 –> 00:02:37,400
\nAnd God will be with us, and we
\ncan accomplish great things and <\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:37,700 –> 00:02:41,000
\nGod prepares.
\nAs things in many ways to make <\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:41,000 –> 00:02:43,400
\nsure that we’re ready for when
\nthose things happen. <\/p>\n

41
\n00:02:44,000 –> 00:02:48,000
\nBrother, Dave has several other
\nexamples looking at that word <\/p>\n

42
\n00:02:48,000 –> 00:02:51,300
\ncat Ortiz, 0, which I found to
\nbe a really encouraging one and <\/p>\n

43
\n00:02:51,300 –> 00:02:54,600
\nit was one that I enjoyed
\nhearing this excitation the <\/p>\n

44
\n00:02:54,600 –> 00:02:58,100
\nreminder that you don’t always
\nhave to feel perfectly prepared <\/p>\n

45
\n00:02:58,100 –> 00:03:00,200
\nfor everything that if you’re
\nsitting around waiting to feel <\/p>\n

46
\n00:03:00,200 –> 00:03:02,400
\nlike everything is exactly the
\nway that you want it to be, <\/p>\n

47
\n00:03:02,800 –> 00:03:04,500
\nyou’re never going to step
\nforward. <\/p>\n

48
\n00:03:04,500 –> 00:03:08,100
\nYou will be like that Unfaithful
\nservant that took his one talent<\/p>\n

49
\n00:03:08,100 –> 00:03:10,700
\nand Barry.
\nRather than working with it, and<\/p>\n

50
\n00:03:10,700 –> 00:03:12,100
\nit was a good reminder,
\nespecially right. <\/p>\n

51
\n00:03:12,100 –> 00:03:16,000
\nNow, when you can feel sometimes
\nlike, you don’t know what to do,<\/p>\n

52
\n00:03:16,000 –> 00:03:18,800
\nor where to go.
\nBut instead, now, you can use <\/p>\n

53
\n00:03:18,800 –> 00:03:21,900
\nthat this as a motivation to if
\nthere’s an opportunity that <\/p>\n

54
\n00:03:21,900 –> 00:03:24,500
\ncomes up to do something you
\nstep forward, and you do it and <\/p>\n

55
\n00:03:24,500 –> 00:03:25,800
\ndo it to the best of your
\nability. <\/p>\n

56
\n00:03:26,100 –> 00:03:29,500
\nIt’s also a good reminder for
\neverybody that if somebody does <\/p>\n

57
\n00:03:29,500 –> 00:03:33,200
\nstep forward to try to encourage
\nthat willingness to serve, even <\/p>\n

58
\n00:03:33,200 –> 00:03:35,700
\nif it’s not done perfectly or
\nthe done the way that you might <\/p>\n

59
\n00:03:35,700 –> 00:03:38,300
\nthink that it should be done the
\nwillingness of somebody else <\/p>\n

60
\n00:03:38,300 –> 00:03:40,200
\ntoo.
\nStep forward and serve in, <\/p>\n

61
\n00:03:40,200 –> 00:03:44,000
\nwhatever, capacity, they’re able
\nand willing to is amazing and <\/p>\n

62
\n00:03:44,000 –> 00:03:46,100
\ntremendous and something that
\nshould be encouraged, not <\/p>\n

63
\n00:03:46,100 –> 00:03:49,500
\ndiscouraged.
\nThat’s how we figure out new and<\/p>\n

64
\n00:03:49,500 –> 00:03:53,900
\nbetter ways to do things.
\nSo really enjoy this excitation <\/p>\n

65
\n00:03:53,900 –> 00:03:57,700
\nby brother.
\nDave is a good reminder about <\/p>\n

66
\n00:03:58,200 –> 00:04:01,300
\nthat, we’re all in need of
\nmending and God is working in <\/p>\n

67
\n00:04:01,300 –> 00:04:04,300
\nour lives.
\nTo help us to become more <\/p>\n

68
\n00:04:04,300 –> 00:04:07,700
\nperfect as we wait for the
\nreturn of his son to make us <\/p>\n

69
\n00:04:07,700 –> 00:04:09,600
\ntruly perfect.
\nIn that Kingdom. <\/p>\n

70

\nSo as always, thank you for the
\nrecommendations and suggestions <\/p>\n

72
\n00:04:19,700 –> 00:04:21,200

\nThat have been great. <\/p>\n

73

\nWe appreciate it.
\nWe hope that everybody had a <\/p>\n

74
\n00:04:24,400 –> 00:04:29,500
\ngood holiday season.

\nand exciting talks going forward<\/p>\n

\nwe pray that this is something <\/p>\n

78

\nencouraging to everybody that is<\/p>\n

79
\n00:04:41,300 –> 00:04:43,800
\nable to listen.
\nPlease share it with people that<\/p>\n

80
\n00:04:43,800 –> 00:04:45,900
\nyou think might need a little
\nbit more upliftment and <\/p>\n

81
\n00:04:45,900 –> 00:04:50,600
\nencouragement and a little bit
\nmore of the positivity from the <\/p>\n

82
\n00:04:50,600 –> 00:04:53,200
\nscriptures in their in their
\nweek. <\/p>\n

83
\n00:04:54,400 –> 00:04:57,000
\nAnd with that we will turn this
\nover to our brother. <\/p>\n

84
\n00:04:57,000 –> 00:05:00,600
\nDave Jennings for his excitation
\non the word cat Ortiz. <\/p>\n

85
\n00:05:00,600 –> 00:05:05,900
\nOh very pleased to be able to
\ncome to you today especially to <\/p>\n

86
\n00:05:06,900 –> 00:05:11,900
\nbe able to share Some thoughts
\nfrom our readings are readings <\/p>\n

87
\n00:05:11,900 –> 00:05:14,500
\nare exceptional today.
\nI think you would all agree the <\/p>\n

88
\n00:05:14,500 –> 00:05:19,400
\nreadings and Micah were some of
\nthe better visions that we have <\/p>\n

89
\n00:05:19,400 –> 00:05:22,200
\nthe peacefulness and the beauty
\nof the Kingdom. <\/p>\n

90
\n00:05:23,500 –> 00:05:27,800
\nI’m going to be really basing my
\ncomments out of one particular <\/p>\n

91
\n00:05:27,800 –> 00:05:31,300
\nverse that we see in Hebrews and
\nI’m hoping that this will be <\/p>\n

92
\n00:05:31,300 –> 00:05:33,700
\nsomething that will be helpful
\nto all of us. <\/p>\n

93
\n00:05:35,300 –> 00:05:38,000
\nWe’re actually going to start
\nthough this morning. <\/p>\n

94
\n00:05:39,500 –> 00:05:44,400
\nBy the seaside in Capernaum.
\nAnd I’d like to ask you to turn <\/p>\n

95
\n00:05:44,400 –> 00:05:57,300
\nto Mark chapter 1 as we get
\nstarted. so, Mark, chapter 1, <\/p>\n

96
\n00:05:57,300 –> 00:06:02,500
\nyou know, the gospels require us
\nto Piece things together. <\/p>\n

97
\n00:06:02,900 –> 00:06:07,600
\nIt requires us to look at the
\nfour different accounts and <\/p>\n

98
\n00:06:07,600 –> 00:06:12,300
\noften times between this, some
\nnot synoptic gospels and John <\/p>\n

99
\n00:06:12,700 –> 00:06:16,300
\nwere able to put together a
\nbetter picture, and we don’t <\/p>\n

100
\n00:06:16,300 –> 00:06:19,300
\nhave time to do all of that in
\nthis particular story. <\/p>\n

101
\n00:06:19,800 –> 00:06:23,100
\nBut I’d like to suggest to you,
\nthat what we’re about to read <\/p>\n

102
\n00:06:23,100 –> 00:06:29,700
\nhere, in Mark chapter 1, has
\nactually followed the time when <\/p>\n

103
\n00:06:29,700 –> 00:06:36,900
\nJesus Was to Peter and Andrew
\nand John and James and he says, <\/p>\n

104
\n00:06:36,900 –> 00:06:40,300
\nhave you caught any fish and
\nthey haven’t caught any fish. <\/p>\n

105
\n00:06:40,800 –> 00:06:43,900
\nAnd he tells them and Luke
\nChapter 5, to cast the net on to<\/p>\n

106
\n00:06:43,900 –> 00:06:49,100
\nthe other side of the ship and
\nreluctantly. <\/p>\n

107
\n00:06:49,100 –> 00:06:52,100
\nThey do this.
\nAnd if you remember what ends up<\/p>\n

108
\n00:06:52,100 –> 00:06:56,900
\nhappening, is their Nets broke.
\nNow, I’d like you to keep that <\/p>\n

109
\n00:06:56,900 –> 00:07:00,200
\nin mind because I think this is
\nthe same period of time when we <\/p>\n

110
\n00:07:00,200 –> 00:07:05,500
\nread here.
\nBeginning at verse 16. <\/p>\n

111
\n00:07:06,900 –> 00:07:10,300
\nSays in verse 16.
\nNow as he walked by the Sea of <\/p>\n

112
\n00:07:10,300 –> 00:07:13,600
\nGalilee, he saw, Simon, and
\nAndrew his brother. <\/p>\n

113
\n00:07:13,600 –> 00:07:18,000
\nCasting into a sea, casting a
\nnet into the sea for they were <\/p>\n

114
\n00:07:18,000 –> 00:07:22,000
\nFishers and I’d suggest this is
\nthe, the period of time where we<\/p>\n

115
\n00:07:22,000 –> 00:07:26,300
\nhere in the Luke Chapter 5,
\nabout how they should be casting<\/p>\n

116
\n00:07:26,300 –> 00:07:30,600
\non the other side verse 17.
\nAnd Jesus said unto them, Come <\/p>\n

117
\n00:07:30,600 –> 00:07:35,700
\nYe after me, and I will make you
\nto become Fishers of Men. <\/p>\n

118
\n00:07:35,900 –> 00:07:41,000
\nMen and straight away.
\nThey forsook their Nets and <\/p>\n

119
\n00:07:41,000 –> 00:07:44,800
\nfollowed him.
\nAnd when he had gone a little <\/p>\n

120
\n00:07:44,800 –> 00:07:49,900
\nfarther thence, he saw James,
\nthe son of Zebedee and John his <\/p>\n

121
\n00:07:49,900 –> 00:07:57,400
\nbrother who also were in the
\nship mending, their Nets and <\/p>\n

122
\n00:07:57,400 –> 00:08:00,700
\nstraightway, he called them, and
\nthey left their father Zebedee <\/p>\n

123
\n00:08:00,700 –> 00:08:04,900
\nand the ship with the hired
\nservants and went after him. <\/p>\n

124
\n00:08:06,200 –> 00:08:08,700
\nSo this is a familiar passage to
\nall of us. <\/p>\n

125
\n00:08:08,800 –> 00:08:12,900
\nAnd I think the Jesus is just
\nhad this first, maybe not first <\/p>\n

126
\n00:08:12,900 –> 00:08:17,200
\nbut certainly pivotal
\ninteraction with the disciples <\/p>\n

127
\n00:08:17,200 –> 00:08:19,400
\nPeter and Andrew and their
\nAssociates. <\/p>\n

128
\n00:08:20,900 –> 00:08:25,500
\nIt’s recorded for us in Luke 5.
\nThey’ve been fishing all night <\/p>\n

129
\n00:08:25,700 –> 00:08:29,000
\nwithout success.
\nNow, you wonder how that <\/p>\n

130
\n00:08:29,000 –> 00:08:32,799
\nhappens.
\nThese are fishermen that were <\/p>\n

131
\n00:08:32,799 –> 00:08:35,600
\nhighly skilled.
\nIf there’s anything, they knew <\/p>\n

132
\n00:08:36,500 –> 00:08:41,700
\nit was that Lake where to cast
\nthe net and we’re not to cast <\/p>\n

133
\n00:08:41,700 –> 00:08:44,300
\nthe net.
\nAnd they would have known the <\/p>\n

134
\n00:08:44,300 –> 00:08:49,000
\nconditions of a lake intimately.
\nAnd I sort of Doubt, there were <\/p>\n

135
\n00:08:49,000 –> 00:08:52,000
\ntoo many times where they went
\nout and they didn’t catch <\/p>\n

136
\n00:08:52,000 –> 00:08:55,800
\nanything.
\nBecause these were men who would<\/p>\n

137
\n00:08:55,800 –> 00:09:01,900
\nhave known where the fish were
\nand not like today, where we use<\/p>\n

138
\n00:09:01,900 –> 00:09:06,400
\nsonar, we go out on these boats.
\nThe sonar says, oh, right here, <\/p>\n

139
\n00:09:06,400 –> 00:09:08,700
\nthere’s some fish down below,
\nthey didn’t have that. <\/p>\n

140
\n00:09:08,900 –> 00:09:12,400
\nSo what they used was their own
\nexperience and their own <\/p>\n

141
\n00:09:12,400 –> 00:09:17,300
\nIngenuity and if there were fish
\nto be caught, it was by their <\/p>\n

142
\n00:09:17,300 –> 00:09:21,000
\nskill and Ingenuity and
\nexperience that these fishermen <\/p>\n

143
\n00:09:21,000 –> 00:09:25,300
\nwould have found the fish.
\nBut we see in the Luke account <\/p>\n

144
\n00:09:25,300 –> 00:09:27,700
\nthat they had labored all night
\nand caught nothing. <\/p>\n

145
\n00:09:28,400 –> 00:09:32,400
\nAnd so we see that when Jesus
\ntells them to cast on the other <\/p>\n

146
\n00:09:32,400 –> 00:09:38,100
\nside of the boat Peter
\nbegrudgingly does this and we <\/p>\n

147
\n00:09:38,100 –> 00:09:40,000
\nknow the rest of the story about
\nhow they catch. <\/p>\n

148
\n00:09:40,000 –> 00:09:43,100
\nSo many fish.
\nThat it says their Nets, <\/p>\n

149
\n00:09:43,100 –> 00:09:47,200
\nliterally burst are broke
\nbecause of the abundance of the <\/p>\n

150
\n00:09:47,200 –> 00:09:52,400
\nfish but what I’d like to focus
\non here is when we get back. <\/p>\n

151
\n00:09:52,600 –> 00:09:56,200
\nTo the shore.
\nWe see here in Mark chapter 1 <\/p>\n

152
\n00:09:56,700 –> 00:10:00,200
\nafter what probably is.
\nThis Great Hall of fish where <\/p>\n

153
\n00:10:00,200 –> 00:10:02,800
\ntheir Nets broke?
\nWhat do we see what? <\/p>\n

154
\n00:10:02,800 –> 00:10:08,600
\nWe see James and John and
\nthey’re sitting by the seashore <\/p>\n

155
\n00:10:09,100 –> 00:10:12,300
\nand what they’re doing they’re
\nstill on their boats, are they <\/p>\n

156
\n00:10:12,300 –> 00:10:14,100
\nhaven’t come into their house
\nyet. <\/p>\n

157
\n00:10:14,500 –> 00:10:18,600
\nWhat they’re doing is they’re
\nworking on repairing their Nets <\/p>\n

158
\n00:10:19,400 –> 00:10:22,100
\nand the word that’s used here is
\nthe word mending. <\/p>\n

159
\n00:10:22,800 –> 00:10:26,000
\nNow that’s going to actually be
\na fascinating word for us. <\/p>\n

160
\n00:10:26,800 –> 00:10:29,700
\nLet’s just talk about the net.
\nFirst of all, first of all, for <\/p>\n

161
\n00:10:29,700 –> 00:10:35,100
\nthese fishermen a good net, this
\nis the tool of the trade. <\/p>\n

162
\n00:10:35,100 –> 00:10:37,600
\nThis is the hammer and the end
\nof the carpenter. <\/p>\n

163
\n00:10:38,800 –> 00:10:44,300
\nThe net might be as large as 100
\nor more feet long and more than <\/p>\n

164
\n00:10:44,300 –> 00:10:49,600
\n20 feet wide, it was the tool of
\ntheir trade and it could be <\/p>\n

165
\n00:10:49,600 –> 00:10:54,700
\ndropped down just at the right.
\nPlace and at the right time and <\/p>\n

166
\n00:10:54,700 –> 00:10:59,500
\nthey would be able to pull in
\nand enclose these fish and a <\/p>\n

167
\n00:10:59,500 –> 00:11:02,500
\ngood, net would allow them to be
\npulled up safely. <\/p>\n

168
\n00:11:03,600 –> 00:11:09,500
\nSee that the net would be
\nuseless in the hands of people <\/p>\n

169
\n00:11:09,500 –> 00:11:12,600
\nwho didn’t know the link and
\ndidn’t know where to cast it. <\/p>\n

170
\n00:11:13,400 –> 00:11:18,100
\nBut also a damaged net that was
\ntorn. <\/p>\n

171
\n00:11:19,000 –> 00:11:23,800
\nWas also of no value.
\nIt could never enfold the fish. <\/p>\n

172
\n00:11:25,300 –> 00:11:29,000
\nAnd they would Escape out of the
\nplace where the tear was having <\/p>\n

173
\n00:11:29,000 –> 00:11:34,300
\na net that was fully prepared
\nfor the work was critical and <\/p>\n

174
\n00:11:34,300 –> 00:11:36,400
\nJames.
\nAnd John, they knew that their <\/p>\n

175
\n00:11:36,400 –> 00:11:40,600
\nfirst priority before they even
\nwent into the house, to be able <\/p>\n

176
\n00:11:40,600 –> 00:11:43,500
\nto enjoy dinner, or whatever it
\nmight have been. <\/p>\n

177
\n00:11:44,800 –> 00:11:48,900
\nThey knew that they had to take
\ncare of their net. <\/p>\n

178
\n00:11:48,900 –> 00:11:54,500
\nThey had to mend it.
\nNow, that’s important because <\/p>\n

179
\n00:11:54,500 –> 00:11:58,400
\nthey would have taken out all
\nthe places where was torn the <\/p>\n

180
\n00:11:58,400 –> 00:12:02,300
\nuseless debris that had kind of
\nclogged the filtration of the <\/p>\n

181
\n00:12:02,300 –> 00:12:09,500
\nnet and gently, you can see
\nthese tough fishermen mending <\/p>\n

182
\n00:12:09,500 –> 00:12:14,000
\ngently, this net.
\nNow, look as christadelphians, <\/p>\n

183
\n00:12:14,700 –> 00:12:19,900
\nwe know, the value of the
\noriginal Hebrew, or the original<\/p>\n

184
\n00:12:19,900 –> 00:12:23,300
\nGreek.
\nWe’re familiar with these words <\/p>\n

185
\n00:12:23,300 –> 00:12:28,800
\nbecause they in our doctrines
\nallow us to open up the meaning <\/p>\n

186
\n00:12:28,800 –> 00:12:36,700
\nof certain passages words like
\nnefesh are nephesh or satan\u00eds, <\/p>\n

187
\n00:12:37,200 –> 00:12:41,500
\nor gehenna or Agape.
\nThese are all words that. <\/p>\n

188
\n00:12:42,100 –> 00:12:46,100
\nWe’re familiar with and they’re
\nwords that they open up a deeper<\/p>\n

189
\n00:12:46,100 –> 00:12:51,300
\nmeaning for us, a more accurate
\nunderstanding of the intended <\/p>\n

190
\n00:12:51,300 –> 00:12:54,400
\nDoctrine.
\nSo I’d like to introduce you to <\/p>\n

191
\n00:12:54,400 –> 00:12:56,300
\nanother word.
\nIf you’re not familiar with it <\/p>\n

192
\n00:12:56,800 –> 00:13:00,200
\nand that’s the word that we see
\nhere for mending their Nets. <\/p>\n

193
\n00:13:01,700 –> 00:13:05,900
\nThat word for mending.
\nTheir Nets is a Greek word cat <\/p>\n

194
\n00:13:05,900 –> 00:13:09,200
\nOrtiz.
\nOh, Now you’re going to really <\/p>\n

195
\n00:13:09,200 –> 00:13:11,900
\nlike this word cat Ortiz,
\nthough, as we follow it through,<\/p>\n

196
\n00:13:13,000 –> 00:13:15,200
\nit’s a word that you’re going to
\nwant to remember because the <\/p>\n

197
\n00:13:15,200 –> 00:13:19,500
\nword for The Mending of the net
\nor counter T’s 0 is translated <\/p>\n

198
\n00:13:19,500 –> 00:13:24,100
\nin a whole bunch of different
\nways in the New Testament. <\/p>\n

199
\n00:13:24,600 –> 00:13:30,800
\nIt carries the idea of mending
\nor repairing or putting things <\/p>\n

200
\n00:13:30,800 –> 00:13:37,300
\nright back into position or
\nenabling something to be used a <\/p>\n

201
\n00:13:37,300 –> 00:13:42,000
\nweek before I 40 years old.
\nI had a double spiral fracture <\/p>\n

202
\n00:13:42,000 –> 00:13:46,500
\nof my leg and the doctor.
\nI will never forget. <\/p>\n

203
\n00:13:46,500 –> 00:13:51,600
\nThis of course put my leg back
\ninto the right position. <\/p>\n

204
\n00:13:51,600 –> 00:13:54,700
\nThe foot was going the wrong
\ndirection and he took the foot, <\/p>\n

205
\n00:13:54,800 –> 00:13:57,700
\npulled it down and pushed it
\nback into the right place. <\/p>\n

206
\n00:13:58,300 –> 00:14:02,300
\nAnd while that pain was
\nunbelievable for a moment, when <\/p>\n

207
\n00:14:02,300 –> 00:14:05,500
\nit got back into the right
\nplace, 95% of the pain went <\/p>\n

208
\n00:14:05,500 –> 00:14:08,000
\naway.
\nI felt like kissing the doctor <\/p>\n

209
\n00:14:08,100 –> 00:14:13,700
\nHe was, it was, it was such a
\ngreat thing but it’s the idea of<\/p>\n

210
\n00:14:13,700 –> 00:14:18,500
\nputting things into the right
\nplace, mending them so that they<\/p>\n

211
\n00:14:18,500 –> 00:14:22,700
\ncan be used.
\nThat’s the idea of the word cat <\/p>\n

212
\n00:14:22,700 –> 00:14:25,300
\nOrtiz, 0.
\nSo what were James and John <\/p>\n

213
\n00:14:25,300 –> 00:14:30,400
\ndoing carefully?
\nCat Ortiz, owing, mending, their<\/p>\n

214
\n00:14:30,400 –> 00:14:33,500
\nNets because they knew that our
\nmet a net. <\/p>\n

215
\n00:14:33,500 –> 00:14:36,100
\nThat wasn’t repaired would be
\nuseless. <\/p>\n

216
\n00:14:37,700 –> 00:14:40,400
\nIf they went out the next day
\nwith the net that wasn’t <\/p>\n

217
\n00:14:40,400 –> 00:14:45,100
\nrepaired wasn’t mended, well, it
\nwould be useless. <\/p>\n

218
\n00:14:45,100 –> 00:14:48,300
\nIt couldn’t do the intended
\npurpose. <\/p>\n

219
\n00:14:50,700 –> 00:14:56,800
\nAll right, so let’s, let’s leave
\nCapernaum and the Sea of Galilee<\/p>\n

220
\n00:14:56,800 –> 00:14:59,600
\nand let’s go to a word that we
\njust got through Reading and <\/p>\n

221
\n00:14:59,600 –> 00:15:06,300
\nHebrews chapter 13, where we see
\nthe word cat Ortiz 0 used. <\/p>\n

222
\n00:15:06,700 –> 00:15:13,600
\nN.
\nSo in Hebrews chapter 13, we <\/p>\n

223
\n00:15:13,600 –> 00:15:18,300
\nread this in verse 20.
\nNow the God of Peace that <\/p>\n

224
\n00:15:18,300 –> 00:15:23,100
\nbrought again from the dead.
\nOur lord Jesus that great <\/p>\n

225
\n00:15:23,100 –> 00:15:27,400
\nShepherd of the sheep through
\nthe blood of ever loved the <\/p>\n

226
\n00:15:27,400 –> 00:15:34,100
\nEverlasting Covenant.
\nMake you quatre T’s oh perfect. <\/p>\n

227
\n00:15:34,200 –> 00:15:41,000
\nIn every good work to do his
\nwill Working in you that which <\/p>\n

228
\n00:15:41,000 –> 00:15:46,100
\nis well pleasing in his sight
\nthrough Jesus Christ to whom be <\/p>\n

229
\n00:15:46,100 –> 00:15:48,900
\nglory forever and ever.
\nAmen. <\/p>\n

230
\n00:15:50,800 –> 00:15:55,200
\nSo the phrase here translated
\nmake you perfect is cat Ortiz. <\/p>\n

231
\n00:15:55,200 –> 00:16:01,000
\nOh, Now, a lot of other versions
\nwill say a quick view. <\/p>\n

232
\n00:16:01,100 –> 00:16:04,600
\nI like that.
\nActually, it carries the same <\/p>\n

233
\n00:16:04,600 –> 00:16:09,100
\ngeneral.
\nMeaning it means to make you <\/p>\n

234
\n00:16:09,100 –> 00:16:14,600
\nuseful for a particular purpose.
\nNow in the met in the Nets back <\/p>\n

235
\n00:16:14,600 –> 00:16:18,700
\nin Capernaum, it was restoring
\nthat net. <\/p>\n

236
\n00:16:19,200 –> 00:16:26,400
\nAnd what we see here is that the
\nwe have been made perfect we <\/p>\n

237
\n00:16:26,400 –> 00:16:30,300
\nhave been equipped For good
\nworks. <\/p>\n

238
\n00:16:31,400 –> 00:16:34,500
\nAnd it really makes you pause
\nfor a moment to realize that <\/p>\n

239
\n00:16:34,500 –> 00:16:39,600
\njust as the fishermen labored to
\nrepair and to restore the <\/p>\n

240
\n00:16:39,600 –> 00:16:43,300
\nfishing net, for your work, in
\nthe future, the next day. <\/p>\n

241
\n00:16:44,400 –> 00:16:48,200
\nSo, our Lord does the same for
\nus. <\/p>\n

242
\n00:16:49,400 –> 00:16:56,800
\nHe’s patiently, mending us.
\nAnd without his work in our <\/p>\n

243
\n00:16:56,800 –> 00:17:02,900
\nlives, we would be nothing other
\nthan torn fishing nets in <\/p>\n

244
\n00:17:02,900 –> 00:17:07,599
\ncapable of doing work that we
\nare intended for in his hands. <\/p>\n

245
\n00:17:08,900 –> 00:17:14,900
\nWe become Fishers of Men.
\nYou see our work in the truth is<\/p>\n

246
\n00:17:14,900 –> 00:17:18,400
\nnot accomplished by our own
\nIngenuity. <\/p>\n

247
\n00:17:18,800 –> 00:17:23,700
\nOur own capabilities.
\nSometimes I think that’s where <\/p>\n

248
\n00:17:23,700 –> 00:17:26,500
\nwe initially initially.
\nThink we think well, because <\/p>\n

249
\n00:17:26,500 –> 00:17:30,500
\nthis person is good at this.
\nThat means that’s what they’re <\/p>\n

250
\n00:17:30,500 –> 00:17:33,400
\ngoing to be doing in the work of
\nthe Lord. <\/p>\n

251
\n00:17:33,400 –> 00:17:37,200
\nBut it’s not that way.
\nIt’s not through our own <\/p>\n

252
\n00:17:37,200 –> 00:17:42,300
\ncapabilities and ingenuity.
\nWhen we estimate, what is <\/p>\n

253
\n00:17:42,300 –> 00:17:46,900
\npossible in circumstances.
\nWhat’s possible through our <\/p>\n

254
\n00:17:46,900 –> 00:17:51,300
\ncapabilities, we’re not doing
\nthis through the eye of Faith. <\/p>\n

255
\n00:17:52,100 –> 00:17:55,800
\nWe’re neglecting a critical
\nprinciple about our lives in the<\/p>\n

256
\n00:17:55,800 –> 00:18:00,800
\ntruth.
\nAnd that is With God, all things<\/p>\n

257
\n00:18:00,800 –> 00:18:05,900
\nare possible as the angel said.
\nSo if you’ve labeled yourself as<\/p>\n

258
\n00:18:05,900 –> 00:18:11,000
\nsomebody who cannot do
\nsomething, As somebody you all <\/p>\n

259
\n00:18:11,000 –> 00:18:16,100
\nno one said you’re right.
\nYou can’t you can’t do it and <\/p>\n

260
\n00:18:16,100 –> 00:18:22,700
\nyou probably won’t but when we
\nlimit God and what God does to <\/p>\n

261
\n00:18:22,700 –> 00:18:28,700
\nprepare us for good works, then
\nwe do so at our own loss. <\/p>\n

262
\n00:18:30,500 –> 00:18:33,200
\nThere’s nothing more,
\nsatisfying, I don’t believe in <\/p>\n

263
\n00:18:33,200 –> 00:18:39,000
\nlife, then whenever the work,
\nthe Lord Works through Us in <\/p>\n

264
\n00:18:39,000 –> 00:18:43,300
\nways that we didn’t ever believe
\nwe’re possible. <\/p>\n

265
\n00:18:44,800 –> 00:18:47,200
\nAnd there’s countless examples
\nof how that happens in <\/p>\n

266
\n00:18:47,200 –> 00:18:52,100
\nscripture, you know, we know
\nabout David facing down Goliath.<\/p>\n

267
\n00:18:52,900 –> 00:18:58,300
\nWell, let’s think about that
\nbefore he faced down Goliath, he<\/p>\n

268
\n00:18:58,300 –> 00:19:01,800
\nhad to face the lion and the
\nbear. <\/p>\n

269
\n00:19:02,400 –> 00:19:07,500
\nAnd with that evidence, he had
\nthe faith to be able to face the<\/p>\n

270
\n00:19:07,500 –> 00:19:14,500
\nGiant in the valley of elah.
\nMoses thought he was ready to be<\/p>\n

271
\n00:19:14,500 –> 00:19:19,100
\nable to deliver the people of
\nIsrael from Egypt, but really it<\/p>\n

272
\n00:19:19,100 –> 00:19:23,400
\nwasn’t until he was out in
\nMidian for 40 years. <\/p>\n

273
\n00:19:23,800 –> 00:19:30,300
\nIn relative isolation, tending
\nsheep and Midian that he finally<\/p>\n

274
\n00:19:30,300 –> 00:19:36,100
\nwas prepared to go back as a
\nhumble leader, and to lead the <\/p>\n

275
\n00:19:36,100 –> 00:19:41,500
\npeople of Israel out of Egypt.
\nOr Jeremiah, who thought he <\/p>\n

276
\n00:19:41,500 –> 00:19:45,100
\ncouldn’t speak the word of God
\nbecause he was yet a young <\/p>\n

277
\n00:19:45,100 –> 00:19:49,000
\nperson.
\nHe had to be told that he was <\/p>\n

278
\n00:19:49,000 –> 00:19:54,000
\nnot to fear those that would be
\nin front of him but that God was<\/p>\n

279
\n00:19:54,000 –> 00:19:57,100
\nwith him.
\nSo have you thought these kind <\/p>\n

280
\n00:19:57,100 –> 00:19:59,200
\nof thoughts?
\nHave you thought? <\/p>\n

281
\n00:19:59,200 –> 00:20:03,200
\nWell, I’m too old.
\nMaybe you thought I’m too young?<\/p>\n

282
\n00:20:04,400 –> 00:20:10,200
\nI’m not a scholar, I’m not
\noutgoing, I’m not and the list <\/p>\n

283
\n00:20:10,200 –> 00:20:13,700
\ncan go on and on and on, here’s
\nthe message. <\/p>\n

284
\n00:20:13,700 –> 00:20:18,300
\nThe message is, God knows our
\ncapabilities. <\/p>\n

285
\n00:20:19,200 –> 00:20:24,900
\nMaybe not our capability today,
\nbut he knows what you are, and <\/p>\n

286
\n00:20:24,900 –> 00:20:31,500
\nwhat you are capable through
\nhim, and he knows what service <\/p>\n

287
\n00:20:31,700 –> 00:20:33,800
\nhe is going to require of you.
\nYou. <\/p>\n

288
\n00:20:35,700 –> 00:20:40,400
\nHe knows your limitations better
\nthan you do and he knows what he<\/p>\n

289
\n00:20:40,400 –> 00:20:43,700
\ncan use and when he will need to
\nuse it. <\/p>\n

290
\n00:20:44,500 –> 00:20:51,600
\nSo before the act of service is
\nput before you to do, Our God <\/p>\n

291
\n00:20:51,600 –> 00:20:57,300
\nhas been using cat Ortiz 0 to
\nprepare you to mend, you to <\/p>\n

292
\n00:20:57,300 –> 00:21:01,800
\nequip you to be successful in
\nthe work. <\/p>\n

293
\n00:21:02,500 –> 00:21:06,100
\nHe knows the need.
\nHe knows the action that’s going<\/p>\n

294
\n00:21:06,100 –> 00:21:10,300
\nto be required.
\nHe knows you, and he knows how <\/p>\n

295
\n00:21:10,300 –> 00:21:15,700
\nto prepare you, all we have to
\ndo is put our trust, our trust, <\/p>\n

296
\n00:21:16,000 –> 00:21:21,600
\nand our faith in him.
\nNow, surely we have to plan and <\/p>\n

297
\n00:21:21,600 –> 00:21:25,900
\nwe need to work and we need to
\nhave sweat in what we do. <\/p>\n

298
\n00:21:27,300 –> 00:21:32,300
\nBut you see anxiety and
\nself-doubt, they don’t belong in<\/p>\n

299
\n00:21:32,300 –> 00:21:35,500
\nour hearts.
\nOn our own. <\/p>\n

300
\n00:21:35,900 –> 00:21:41,300
\nWe’re like the fishermen in
\nCapernaum who work all night <\/p>\n

301
\n00:21:41,300 –> 00:21:45,800
\nthinking we can do it ourselves.
\nOnly to find out that we catch <\/p>\n

302
\n00:21:45,800 –> 00:21:49,500
\nnothing.
\nLots of hard work doing all the <\/p>\n

303
\n00:21:49,500 –> 00:21:56,900
\nright things but coming up,
\nempty. but, When we follow the <\/p>\n

304
\n00:21:57,200 –> 00:22:01,300
\nthe master, when he prepares us
\nfor work that he puts in front <\/p>\n

305
\n00:22:01,300 –> 00:22:05,900
\nof us, he makes his capable in
\nways that are sometimes <\/p>\n

306
\n00:22:05,900 –> 00:22:11,500
\ncounterintuitive but beyond our
\nwildest imagination, our Nets <\/p>\n

307
\n00:22:11,500 –> 00:22:15,400
\ncan actually break because it’s
\ngreater than we ever thought <\/p>\n

308
\n00:22:15,400 –> 00:22:19,200
\ncould happen.
\nBut I’d like to add another <\/p>\n

309
\n00:22:19,200 –> 00:22:21,900
\nfamiliar verse to this over in
\nEphesians. <\/p>\n

310
\n00:22:22,300 –> 00:22:31,200
\nYou’ll turn with me over to
\nEphesians chapter 2. we don’t <\/p>\n

311
\n00:22:31,200 –> 00:22:35,700
\nsee the word cat or cheese do
\nhere, but we see the concept is <\/p>\n

312
\n00:22:35,700 –> 00:22:40,200
\ntalking about the changes that
\nhappen in the life of a person <\/p>\n

313
\n00:22:40,600 –> 00:22:47,600
\nwho has Become a son or a
\ndaughter of our living of the <\/p>\n

314
\n00:22:47,600 –> 00:22:50,300
\nLiving.
\nGod, who hath been raised up and<\/p>\n

315
\n00:22:50,300 –> 00:22:55,500
\nmade to sit together in Heavenly
\nplaces in Christ Jesus and this <\/p>\n

316
\n00:22:55,500 –> 00:22:58,600
\nis what he says in verse 10.
\nWell let’s go back to verse 8 <\/p>\n

317
\n00:22:58,600 –> 00:23:02,000
\nfor by grace are ye saved
\nthrough faith. <\/p>\n

318
\n00:23:03,000 –> 00:23:06,800
\nAnd that not of yourselves.
\nIt is the gift of God, not of <\/p>\n

319
\n00:23:06,800 –> 00:23:14,100
\nWorks, lest any man should boast
\nFor we are his workmanship. <\/p>\n

320
\n00:23:14,400 –> 00:23:17,900
\nThat’s an interesting word.
\nAnother version says we’re his <\/p>\n

321
\n00:23:17,900 –> 00:23:22,600
\nwork of art.
\nWe are his workmanship created <\/p>\n

322
\n00:23:22,600 –> 00:23:28,400
\nin Christ Jesus unto good works
\nwhich God hath before ordained <\/p>\n

323
\n00:23:28,800 –> 00:23:32,700
\nthat we should walk in them.
\nI’m going to use the NIV here. <\/p>\n

324
\n00:23:32,700 –> 00:23:37,900
\nJust for emphasis for we are
\nGod’s workmanship created in <\/p>\n

325
\n00:23:37,900 –> 00:23:41,400
\nChrist.
\nJesus to do good works which God<\/p>\n

326
\n00:23:41,400 –> 00:23:46,200
\nprepared in advance.
\nFor us to do. <\/p>\n

327
\n00:23:49,000 –> 00:23:51,200
\nWell.
\nThis. <\/p>\n

328
\n00:23:53,100 –> 00:23:55,900
\nThis is a verse, I remember,
\nwhen I first really paid <\/p>\n

329
\n00:23:55,900 –> 00:23:59,100
\nattention to it, stopped me in
\nmy tracks. <\/p>\n

330
\n00:24:00,400 –> 00:24:03,500
\nAnd if you haven’t really
\nthought about this verse, maybe <\/p>\n

331
\n00:24:03,500 –> 00:24:08,000
\nit’ll do the same for you too.
\nIt makes us think about our <\/p>\n

332
\n00:24:08,000 –> 00:24:13,400
\nlives quite differently.
\nOur lives are about doing good <\/p>\n

333
\n00:24:13,400 –> 00:24:19,400
\nwork.
\nThat our God has planned for us <\/p>\n

334
\n00:24:19,400 –> 00:24:24,100
\nto do in advance now, sometimes
\npeople worry about, you know, <\/p>\n

335
\n00:24:24,100 –> 00:24:29,200
\nwhat should be my Ministry?
\nShould I go to a foreign land <\/p>\n

336
\n00:24:29,200 –> 00:24:31,600
\nand work as a mission work?
\nWell, that’s fine to do that. <\/p>\n

337
\n00:24:31,600 –> 00:24:35,600
\nIf you decide to do that, what
\nservice should I do in the <\/p>\n

338
\n00:24:35,600 –> 00:24:36,700
\ntruth?
\nWe’re shy. <\/p>\n

339
\n00:24:36,700 –> 00:24:41,100
\nInvest my time.
\nDo I have the skill to do this, <\/p>\n

340
\n00:24:41,100 –> 00:24:43,600
\nor to do that?
\nWhat am I capable of? <\/p>\n

341
\n00:24:44,900 –> 00:24:50,600
\nCan I do this particular service
\nand often times that assessment <\/p>\n

342
\n00:24:50,600 –> 00:24:54,500
\nof our own capabilities leads us
\ninto directions? <\/p>\n

343
\n00:24:54,500 –> 00:24:58,800
\nWhere maybe it’s not really the
\nright way to be thinking if we <\/p>\n

344
\n00:24:58,800 –> 00:25:03,500
\naccept that the Lord is working
\nin our lives, to prepare us for <\/p>\n

345
\n00:25:03,500 –> 00:25:07,400
\nwork that lies ahead.
\nAnd we truly believe that he’s <\/p>\n

346
\n00:25:07,400 –> 00:25:13,400
\npreparing us for that work.
\nThen here’s what it requires. <\/p>\n

347
\n00:25:14,400 –> 00:25:19,400
\nIt requires for us to do nothing
\nmore than be responsive to the <\/p>\n

348
\n00:25:19,400 –> 00:25:22,700
\nwork that he puts in front of
\nus. <\/p>\n

349
\n00:25:23,400 –> 00:25:30,000
\nJust do what’s in front of you.
\nIt reminds me of the woman who <\/p>\n

350
\n00:25:30,000 –> 00:25:34,200
\nanointed the feet as scuse me
\nactually see a none of the head <\/p>\n

351
\n00:25:34,200 –> 00:25:36,500
\nof the Lord.
\nJesus Christ with the alabaster <\/p>\n

352
\n00:25:36,500 –> 00:25:41,200
\nbox of ointment.
\nNow she knew that she was doing <\/p>\n

353
\n00:25:41,200 –> 00:25:45,600
\nit for his burial.
\nShe she couldn’t stop the events<\/p>\n

354
\n00:25:45,600 –> 00:25:50,100
\nthat led to his crucifixion.
\nShe wouldn’t be there at the <\/p>\n

355
\n00:25:50,100 –> 00:25:53,400
\ncrucifixion.
\nShe was powerless to do anything<\/p>\n

356
\n00:25:53,400 –> 00:25:59,300
\nabout that, but what she did And
\nwhat Jesus said would be done as<\/p>\n

357
\n00:25:59,300 –> 00:26:04,100
\na memorial for her.
\nIs she did what she could? <\/p>\n

358
\n00:26:05,200 –> 00:26:09,000
\nAnd brothers and sisters.
\nThat’s the standard that we <\/p>\n

359
\n00:26:09,000 –> 00:26:16,200
\nshould all aspire to do what you
\ncan do, everything I can with <\/p>\n

360
\n00:26:16,200 –> 00:26:19,100
\nthe opportunities that the Lord
\nputs before us. <\/p>\n

361
\n00:26:20,600 –> 00:26:25,300
\nYou see, it makes us think
\ndifferently about the challenges<\/p>\n

362
\n00:26:26,300 –> 00:26:29,600
\nexperiences and even the
\ndifficult things that happen in <\/p>\n

363
\n00:26:29,600 –> 00:26:36,500
\nour lives, About with a dreadful
\nphysical ailment. <\/p>\n

364
\n00:26:37,800 –> 00:26:41,700
\nCan be something that can
\nactually help us if we exercise <\/p>\n

365
\n00:26:41,700 –> 00:26:47,800
\nour minds, thereby to build our
\nfaith and very likely, it might <\/p>\n

366
\n00:26:47,800 –> 00:26:53,200
\nhelp us to help others who are
\nexperiencing that. <\/p>\n

367
\n00:26:54,700 –> 00:26:59,400
\nIn my own knowledge or remember
\nwhen my mom was going through <\/p>\n

368
\n00:26:59,400 –> 00:27:02,900
\nher final couple of years with
\ncancer. <\/p>\n

369
\n00:27:04,200 –> 00:27:06,200
\nYou know, I would have done
\nanything to help my mom. <\/p>\n

370
\n00:27:07,600 –> 00:27:14,600
\nBut where she found some of the
\nmost encouraging messages were <\/p>\n

371
\n00:27:14,600 –> 00:27:20,700
\nfrom people like sister Jan
\nhere, who had also herself gone <\/p>\n

372
\n00:27:20,700 –> 00:27:25,700
\nthrough a bout of cancer and it
\nwas her encouragement talking to<\/p>\n

373
\n00:27:25,700 –> 00:27:28,500
\nmy mom.
\nThat really, really helped her <\/p>\n

374
\n00:27:28,500 –> 00:27:32,400
\nduring that time.
\nSo sometimes we go through, <\/p>\n

375
\n00:27:32,500 –> 00:27:37,000
\nunexpected situations, some
\nenjoyable and some not so <\/p>\n

376
\n00:27:37,000 –> 00:27:42,100
\nenjoyable and we should know
\nthat in the broader context of <\/p>\n

377
\n00:27:42,100 –> 00:27:45,800
\nour life.
\nThe Lord is preparing us for <\/p>\n

378
\n00:27:45,800 –> 00:27:50,300
\ngood works where his workmanship
\nwere in his hands. <\/p>\n

379
\n00:27:51,100 –> 00:27:55,700
\nAnd because of the foreknowledge
\nof God, he knows how we can take<\/p>\n

380
\n00:27:55,700 –> 00:28:00,400
\nlearning and wisdom from these
\nthings to be able to use them. <\/p>\n

381
\n00:28:00,600 –> 00:28:07,000
\nA later time.
\nI’m always amazed about the work<\/p>\n

382
\n00:28:07,000 –> 00:28:12,700
\nof the Angels, especially how
\nthey’re rarely working on events<\/p>\n

383
\n00:28:12,700 –> 00:28:14,500
\nthat are happening right at that
\ntime. <\/p>\n

384
\n00:28:14,500 –> 00:28:18,300
\nThey’re working about events
\nthat need to happen in the <\/p>\n

385
\n00:28:18,300 –> 00:28:21,500
\nfuture.
\nWhen we read in the Book of <\/p>\n

386
\n00:28:21,500 –> 00:28:27,300
\nDaniel about Gabriel having to
\nbring my Michael, the Archangel <\/p>\n

387
\n00:28:27,300 –> 00:28:33,200
\nto help him, he’s working on
\nbeing able to get the King of <\/p>\n

388
\n00:28:33,200 –> 00:28:37,500
\nPersia.
\nDo something and we just read <\/p>\n

389
\n00:28:37,500 –> 00:28:41,300
\nthis last week about Jonah
\nJonah. <\/p>\n

390
\n00:28:42,400 –> 00:28:47,400
\nI’ve read over this so many
\ntimes when Jonas thrown over the<\/p>\n

391
\n00:28:47,400 –> 00:28:52,700
\nship by the the men in the boat.
\nIt says that the Lord had <\/p>\n

392
\n00:28:52,700 –> 00:28:57,000
\nprepared, a great fish to
\nswallow up, Jonah and I just <\/p>\n

393
\n00:28:57,000 –> 00:29:01,200
\nread right over the top of that.
\nBut think about that what did <\/p>\n

394
\n00:29:01,200 –> 00:29:06,100
\nthat preparation involved?
\nIt involved knowing the heart of<\/p>\n

395
\n00:29:06,100 –> 00:29:08,600
\nJonah.
\nWho was supposed to go to <\/p>\n

396
\n00:29:08,600 –> 00:29:13,400
\nNineveh, right?
\nIt was about knowing that he <\/p>\n

397
\n00:29:13,400 –> 00:29:17,700
\nwould be on that ship at that
\nplace and knowing that he would <\/p>\n

398
\n00:29:17,700 –> 00:29:22,100
\nbe thrown overboard.
\nAll of that was known in advance<\/p>\n

399
\n00:29:22,100 –> 00:29:27,800
\nand the preparation of having it
\nat a fish that was just the <\/p>\n

400
\n00:29:27,800 –> 00:29:32,300
\nright kind of fish prepared and
\nat the right place at the right <\/p>\n

401
\n00:29:32,300 –> 00:29:35,000
\ntime, that’s how the Angels
\nwork. <\/p>\n

402
\n00:29:35,900 –> 00:29:38,800
\nThat is how God prepares things
\nin advance. <\/p>\n

403
\n00:29:38,800 –> 00:29:43,100
\nSo think about that.
\nIn the foreknowledge of God, he <\/p>\n

404
\n00:29:43,100 –> 00:29:50,000
\nknows when you are just the
\nright person to do given work, <\/p>\n

405
\n00:29:50,800 –> 00:29:54,900
\nhe knows the faith that you’re
\ngoing to need and the <\/p>\n

406
\n00:29:54,900 –> 00:29:57,300
\npreparation advance for that
\nwork. <\/p>\n

407
\n00:29:58,200 –> 00:30:01,300
\nThis is how we fit into the
\nmaster plan. <\/p>\n

408
\n00:30:02,000 –> 00:30:05,500
\nWhen we do the work that he has
\nplanned in advance for us to do.<\/p>\n

409
\n00:30:06,700 –> 00:30:11,700
\nThat’s why we’re told James says
\nthis in Acts chapter 15, known <\/p>\n

410
\n00:30:11,700 –> 00:30:16,300
\nunto God are all his works.
\nFrom the beginning of the world,<\/p>\n

411
\n00:30:16,800 –> 00:30:22,900
\neverything is known in advance.
\nIt’s always been amazing to me <\/p>\n

412
\n00:30:23,000 –> 00:30:28,900
\nabout how the Lord Jesus left.
\nHis disciples and Acts chapter <\/p>\n

413
\n00:30:28,900 –> 00:30:31,700
\n1, you know, they’d been with
\nhim. <\/p>\n

414
\n00:30:31,700 –> 00:30:34,200
\nEverything that’s go here.
\nWe’re going to do this. <\/p>\n

415
\n00:30:34,200 –> 00:30:37,100
\nWe’re going to do that.
\nThey were so dependent upon <\/p>\n

416
\n00:30:37,100 –> 00:30:39,400
\nJesus.
\nAnd when we turn over to Acts <\/p>\n

417
\n00:30:39,400 –> 00:30:43,900
\nchapter 1, Look at the
\ninstructions that he gives them <\/p>\n

418
\n00:30:45,300 –> 00:30:50,600
\nverse 6 when they therefore were
\ncome together, they asked of him<\/p>\n

419
\n00:30:50,600 –> 00:30:53,800
\nsaying, Lord wilt thou at this
\ntime restore. <\/p>\n

420
\n00:30:53,800 –> 00:30:56,400
\nAgain the kingdom to Israel.
\nIn other words, you’re going to <\/p>\n

421
\n00:30:56,400 –> 00:30:59,300
\ndo it right now or we’re here on
\nthe Mount of Olives. <\/p>\n

422
\n00:30:59,300 –> 00:31:01,500
\nWe remember the Zechariah
\nprophecy. <\/p>\n

423
\n00:31:01,700 –> 00:31:04,500
\nAre you going to restore again?
\nThe kingdom in Israel and he <\/p>\n

424
\n00:31:04,500 –> 00:31:08,500
\nsays, in verse 7, it is not for
\nyou to know the times or the <\/p>\n

425
\n00:31:08,500 –> 00:31:12,600
\nseasons which the father hath
\nput In his own power. <\/p>\n

426
\n00:31:12,900 –> 00:31:18,200
\nAnd other words, it’s not for
\nyou to know the specific time, <\/p>\n

427
\n00:31:18,800 –> 00:31:23,000
\nbut he goes on to say this, but
\nyou shall receive power after <\/p>\n

428
\n00:31:23,000 –> 00:31:24,600
\nthat.
\nThe Holy Spirit has come upon <\/p>\n

429
\n00:31:24,600 –> 00:31:29,200
\nyou and ye shall be Witnesses
\nunto me, both in Jerusalem and <\/p>\n

430
\n00:31:29,200 –> 00:31:33,700
\nin all Judea, and in Samaria.
\nAnd unto the uttermost part of <\/p>\n

431
\n00:31:33,700 –> 00:31:37,800
\nthe world are the Earth.
\nAnd then when he had spoken <\/p>\n

432
\n00:31:37,800 –> 00:31:41,100
\nthese things beheld, he was they
\nbeheld. <\/p>\n

433
\n00:31:41,100 –> 00:31:45,300
\nHe was taken away from them, and
\nI can only imagine if I were <\/p>\n

434
\n00:31:45,300 –> 00:31:47,800
\nthere and I was one of them
\nmight be saying, wait a second. <\/p>\n

435
\n00:31:48,400 –> 00:31:51,700
\nWe have a few questions before.
\nYou leave. <\/p>\n

436
\n00:31:51,700 –> 00:31:55,500
\nTell us.
\nWait, who’s going to go to <\/p>\n

437
\n00:31:55,500 –> 00:31:59,300
\nSamaria?
\nWho’s going to stand in <\/p>\n

438
\n00:31:59,300 –> 00:32:01,200
\nJerusalem?
\nHow long are we supposed to stay<\/p>\n

439
\n00:32:01,200 –> 00:32:03,800
\nhere?
\nAnd when you say the uttermost <\/p>\n

440
\n00:32:03,800 –> 00:32:07,000
\npart of the earth, were you
\ntalking about and who’s going to<\/p>\n

441
\n00:32:07,000 –> 00:32:09,500
\ngo there?
\nAnd how are we going to speak <\/p>\n

442
\n00:32:09,500 –> 00:32:15,300
\nthe language to these people and
\nhow we going to overcome customs<\/p>\n

443
\n00:32:15,600 –> 00:32:19,100
\nand language differences?
\nAnd how about Gentiles, what are<\/p>\n

444
\n00:32:19,100 –> 00:32:21,200
\nwe supposed to do?
\nThe Gentile converts? <\/p>\n

445
\n00:32:21,400 –> 00:32:24,500
\nAre they going to have to be
\nincorporated to become Jews Like<\/p>\n

446
\n00:32:24,500 –> 00:32:26,700
\nUs?
\nAre they going to have to be <\/p>\n

447
\n00:32:26,700 –> 00:32:29,900
\ncircumcised and keep the law?
\nAre they going to have to become<\/p>\n

448
\n00:32:29,900 –> 00:32:33,800
\nproselytes?
\nI mean there would be so many <\/p>\n

449
\n00:32:33,800 –> 00:32:35,700
\nquestions that we would all
\nhave. <\/p>\n

450
\n00:32:37,200 –> 00:32:40,300
\nBut how did things actually work
\nout well. <\/p>\n

451
\n00:32:40,300 –> 00:32:43,600
\nWho went to Samaria?
\nWell, Philip went to Samaria. <\/p>\n

452
\n00:32:43,600 –> 00:32:47,600
\nAnd why did he go there?
\nBecause while he was taking care<\/p>\n

453
\n00:32:47,600 –> 00:32:50,900
\nof the Widow’s, he was
\npersecuted, he fled there. <\/p>\n

454
\n00:32:51,500 –> 00:32:56,600
\nIt wasn’t his preparation to go
\nto to Samaria and the issue of <\/p>\n

455
\n00:32:56,600 –> 00:33:02,200
\nthe converts of the Gentiles.
\nIt was really decided by a <\/p>\n

456
\n00:33:02,200 –> 00:33:05,900
\nreally difficult meeting that
\nhelp. <\/p>\n

457
\n00:33:06,100 –> 00:33:11,000
\nHappened in Jerusalem where they
\nhad seen evidence of Jewish <\/p>\n

458
\n00:33:11,000 –> 00:33:17,200
\nconverts, non-circumcised Jewish
\nconverts, who were embracing the<\/p>\n

459
\n00:33:17,200 –> 00:33:23,200
\ngospel, and who was it?
\nThat was going to go into these <\/p>\n

460
\n00:33:23,300 –> 00:33:26,600
\nuttermost parts.
\nWell, a person who was to become<\/p>\n

461
\n00:33:26,800 –> 00:33:29,700
\nthe chief persecutor of the
\nearly church. <\/p>\n

462
\n00:33:31,600 –> 00:33:34,300
\nSo you see this is the way it
\nalways happens. <\/p>\n

463
\n00:33:34,300 –> 00:33:39,000
\nIt happens in 2020 and it
\nhappened back at the beginnings <\/p>\n

464
\n00:33:39,000 –> 00:33:43,500
\nof the Gospel message the plan
\nof Jesus for their work was <\/p>\n

465
\n00:33:43,500 –> 00:33:48,900
\nrevealed over time and through
\nevents that they likely would <\/p>\n

466
\n00:33:48,900 –> 00:33:56,200
\nnot have seen coming.
\nTheir job was to have the faith <\/p>\n

467
\n00:33:56,500 –> 00:34:01,600
\nto do the work.
\nThat was set before them and I’m<\/p>\n

468
\n00:34:01,600 –> 00:34:03,500
\nconcerned.
\nI’m absolutely convinced <\/p>\n

469
\n00:34:03,500 –> 00:34:06,000
\nbrothers and sisters this is
\ntrue for us. <\/p>\n

470
\n00:34:07,000 –> 00:34:11,699
\nWhat we need to do is to have
\nthe faith to learn about the <\/p>\n

471
\n00:34:11,699 –> 00:34:13,900
\nmessages.
\nThe Lord is bringing into our <\/p>\n

472
\n00:34:13,900 –> 00:34:16,800
\nlives.
\nSo that when he puts the work in<\/p>\n

473
\n00:34:16,800 –> 00:34:21,600
\nfront of us, We’ll be able to do
\nit because he prepared us. <\/p>\n

474
\n00:34:23,300 –> 00:34:26,199
\nNow, I’d like to shift gears for
\na moment and and just have you <\/p>\n

475
\n00:34:26,207 –> 00:34:30,800
\nturned over to Second Timothy.
\nSecond, Timothy Chapter 2, all, <\/p>\n

476
\n00:34:30,800 –> 00:34:35,000
\nwe all know this passage second,
\nTimothy Chapter 2 because this <\/p>\n

477
\n00:34:35,000 –> 00:34:38,800
\nis where we go to talk about the
\ninspiration of scriptures. <\/p>\n

478
\n00:34:39,699 –> 00:34:45,000
\nAnd it talks about how Timothy
\nhad in verse 15 known the holy <\/p>\n

479
\n00:34:45,000 –> 00:34:49,300
\nscriptures which are able to
\nmake thee wise unto salvation <\/p>\n

480
\n00:34:49,800 –> 00:34:52,900
\nthrough faith, which is in
\nChrist Jesus. <\/p>\n

481
\n00:34:54,000 –> 00:34:56,699
\nAnd then it goes on to say, all
\nscripture is given by <\/p>\n

482
\n00:34:56,699 –> 00:35:00,200
\ninspiration of God, and is
\nprofitable for Doctrine for <\/p>\n

483
\n00:35:00,200 –> 00:35:04,700
\nreproof for correction for
\ninstruction, in righteousness. <\/p>\n

484
\n00:35:05,500 –> 00:35:07,000
\nAll right.
\nSo that’s what we see about. <\/p>\n

485
\n00:35:07,000 –> 00:35:10,700
\nThe study of the word.
\nIt should be done with the idea <\/p>\n

486
\n00:35:10,800 –> 00:35:16,400
\nthat when we study the word, it
\nis going to reshape our minds. <\/p>\n

487
\n00:35:16,900 –> 00:35:20,800
\nIt’s going to prepare our minds.
\nAnd how does it do that? <\/p>\n

488
\n00:35:20,800 –> 00:35:24,000
\nWell, it does it by Doctrine.
\nAnd then Word Doctrine there is <\/p>\n

489
\n00:35:24,000 –> 00:35:29,100
\nnot just about what we see in
\nlike a statement of faith, it is<\/p>\n

490
\n00:35:29,100 –> 00:35:32,400
\nabout being able to understand
\nwhat truth is. <\/p>\n

491
\n00:35:32,800 –> 00:35:38,700
\nSo that we can have a standard
\nthat we can live by and reproof <\/p>\n

492
\n00:35:38,700 –> 00:35:43,600
\nis about helping us to
\nunderstand and to discern where <\/p>\n

493
\n00:35:43,600 –> 00:35:48,100
\nwe’ve gone wrong so that we can
\nuse it as a basis of <\/p>\n

494
\n00:35:48,100 –> 00:35:52,700
\nself-examination.
\nIn correction is what restores <\/p>\n

495
\n00:35:52,700 –> 00:35:58,000
\nus to a right state that brings
\nus closer to that standard and <\/p>\n

496
\n00:35:58,000 –> 00:36:02,100
\nfinally instruction in
\nrighteousness, is the idea of <\/p>\n

497
\n00:36:02,100 –> 00:36:08,500
\ncareful training instruction.
\nAll right, so if we read the <\/p>\n

498
\n00:36:08,500 –> 00:36:12,800
\nword, we know that we’re being
\ninstructed, we’re getting the <\/p>\n

499
\n00:36:12,800 –> 00:36:15,600
\nright standard.
\nIt’s shaping our minds. <\/p>\n

500
\n00:36:15,600 –> 00:36:20,300
\nSo we can be able to tell where
\nwe are departing from the nerd <\/p>\n

501
\n00:36:20,300 –> 00:36:24,600
\nand get us back to the standard.
\nNow, what’s the purpose? <\/p>\n

502
\n00:36:25,400 –> 00:36:32,300
\nWell, we have to read verse 17.
\nThat the man of God may be <\/p>\n

503
\n00:36:32,700 –> 00:36:37,900
\nperfect.
\nSeen that word before throughly <\/p>\n

504
\n00:36:38,100 –> 00:36:41,500
\nfurnished.
\nUnto all good works. <\/p>\n

505
\n00:36:43,300 –> 00:36:48,600
\nI’d love that verse that the man
\nof God may be perfect throughly.<\/p>\n

506
\n00:36:48,600 –> 00:36:52,500
\nFurnished unto all good works.
\nIt’s not thoroughly furnished. <\/p>\n

507
\n00:36:53,000 –> 00:36:54,900
\nI was corrected.
\nWhen I read that wrong, when I <\/p>\n

508
\n00:36:54,908 –> 00:36:59,400
\nwas a younger, man, it’s the
\nword throughly. <\/p>\n

509
\n00:37:00,200 –> 00:37:05,100
\nAnd I love that word throughly
\nbecause it’s through the Lord, <\/p>\n

510
\n00:37:05,700 –> 00:37:08,700
\nthat we are perfected eats
\nthrough the war. <\/p>\n

511
\n00:37:08,700 –> 00:37:14,300
\nThe Lord that we work.
\nHe will furnish us unto all good<\/p>\n

512
\n00:37:14,300 –> 00:37:17,400
\nworks.
\nRemember in Acts 15, the Paul <\/p>\n

513
\n00:37:17,400 –> 00:37:21,100
\nand Barnabas talked about the
\nWonders and the Miracles that <\/p>\n

514
\n00:37:21,100 –> 00:37:28,700
\nGod had worked through them.
\nSo Bible study has drawn us <\/p>\n

515
\n00:37:28,700 –> 00:37:33,900
\ntogether as a community, and if
\nwe’re not careful, sometimes it <\/p>\n

516
\n00:37:33,900 –> 00:37:36,800
\ncan be something that becomes a
\nsource of Pride or <\/p>\n

517
\n00:37:36,800 –> 00:37:39,800
\nself-reliance.
\nBut there’s a reason for <\/p>\n

518
\n00:37:39,800 –> 00:37:45,200
\nstudying the Bible and the
\nreason is is it’s enjoyable. <\/p>\n

519
\n00:37:45,500 –> 00:37:50,600
\nIt’s a challenge for our minds.
\nIt is useful for correction, but<\/p>\n

520
\n00:37:50,600 –> 00:37:55,600
\nwhat it does is It prepares us
\nfor the work that God is <\/p>\n

521
\n00:37:55,600 –> 00:38:00,100
\npreparing us to do each time our
\nOak, we open our Bibles. <\/p>\n

522
\n00:38:00,100 –> 00:38:04,100
\nWhat we ought to be thinking is
\nhow can I learn something here <\/p>\n

523
\n00:38:04,100 –> 00:38:08,100
\nthat I might be able to apply in
\nthe future in my life. <\/p>\n

524
\n00:38:09,700 –> 00:38:13,000
\nThe last consideration brothers
\nand sisters is in Galatians. <\/p>\n

525
\n00:38:13,300 –> 00:38:19,400
\nSo if you turn back to me, with
\nme to Galatians, Chapter 6 here.<\/p>\n

526
\n00:38:19,400 –> 00:38:21,800
\nWe see the word cat Ortiz.
\nA one more time. <\/p>\n

527
\n00:38:23,200 –> 00:38:30,000
\nRelations chapter 6.
\nVerse 1 Brethren. <\/p>\n

528
\n00:38:30,400 –> 00:38:33,600
\nIf a man be overtaken in a
\nfault. <\/p>\n

529
\n00:38:34,700 –> 00:38:38,900
\nYe, which are spiritual cat
\nArtis. <\/p>\n

530
\n00:38:38,900 –> 00:38:45,400
\nOh, such a one In the spirit of
\nmeekness considering thyself <\/p>\n

531
\n00:38:45,900 –> 00:38:50,700
\nlest thou also be tempted bear,
\nye one another’s burdens and so <\/p>\n

532
\n00:38:50,700 –> 00:38:54,400
\nfulfill the law of Christ.
\nFor if a man think himself to be<\/p>\n

533
\n00:38:54,400 –> 00:38:58,100
\nsomething when he is nothing, he
\ndeceiveth himself. <\/p>\n

534
\n00:38:58,100 –> 00:39:02,900
\nLet every man prove his own work
\nand then shall he have rejoicing<\/p>\n

535
\n00:39:02,900 –> 00:39:08,100
\nin himself alone and not another
\nfor every man shall bear his own<\/p>\n

536
\n00:39:08,100 –> 00:39:12,200
\nburden.
\nSo that’s an interesting word in<\/p>\n

537
\n00:39:12,200 –> 00:39:17,700
\nverse one, restore such a one in
\nthe spirit of meekness. <\/p>\n

538
\n00:39:17,700 –> 00:39:22,400
\nThat’s the word cat Ortiz, 0.
\nSo when we think of reaching out<\/p>\n

539
\n00:39:22,400 –> 00:39:27,000
\nto our brothers and sisters who
\nare struggling with sin where <\/p>\n

540
\n00:39:27,000 –> 00:39:31,600
\nwe’re trying to help them, we
\nshouldn’t be thinking of tearing<\/p>\n

541
\n00:39:32,200 –> 00:39:38,300
\nor ripping, or crushing, or
\ndestroying or condemning. <\/p>\n

542
\n00:39:39,600 –> 00:39:44,700
\nThe word we should be thinking
\nof is to think of mending, which<\/p>\n

543
\n00:39:44,700 –> 00:39:48,400
\nis the word consistent with what
\nwe saw with those fishermen. <\/p>\n

544
\n00:39:49,200 –> 00:39:55,600
\nAt the city of Capernaum, think
\nof gently mending how marvelous <\/p>\n

545
\n00:39:55,600 –> 00:39:58,500
\nit would be for all of us to
\nremember in the lessons of our <\/p>\n

546
\n00:39:58,500 –> 00:40:01,300
\nlife.
\nThat what we are called to do as<\/p>\n

547
\n00:40:01,300 –> 00:40:05,200
\na community as brothers and
\nsisters is to gently men. <\/p>\n

548
\n00:40:07,100 –> 00:40:10,700
\nAnd so now we turn to the
\nsacrifice of our Lord. <\/p>\n

549
\n00:40:10,800 –> 00:40:16,400
\nHe is the one who restores is
\nthe one that prepares our <\/p>\n

550
\n00:40:16,400 –> 00:40:21,200
\nhearts, he desires us to do good
\nwork. <\/p>\n

551
\n00:40:21,800 –> 00:40:27,100
\nHe expects a return on the
\ninvestment to rise to the <\/p>\n

552
\n00:40:27,100 –> 00:40:32,100
\noccasion when an opportunity or
\na talent is placed in front of <\/p>\n

553
\n00:40:32,100 –> 00:40:36,100
\nus.
\nHe will chasten us for our <\/p>\n

554
\n00:40:36,100 –> 00:40:41,100
\nlearning, he will carefully
\nremove the debris, in the tears <\/p>\n

555
\n00:40:41,600 –> 00:40:45,800
\nin our Nets, so that we will be
\nprepared. <\/p>\n

556
\n00:40:47,000 –> 00:40:49,600
\nYou see brothers and sisters.
\nThere’s really no room for <\/p>\n

557
\n00:40:49,600 –> 00:40:51,900
\npessimism in our service of the
\nlord. <\/p>\n

558
\n00:40:52,700 –> 00:40:56,000
\nWe should put aside all negative
\nthinking. <\/p>\n

559
\n00:40:56,300 –> 00:41:01,800
\nIt’s unhelpful when it comes to
\nlimitations that we might have. <\/p>\n

560
\n00:41:01,900 –> 00:41:07,600
\nBecause in the truth, we are his
\nworkmanship. <\/p>\n

561
\n00:41:07,700 –> 00:41:12,800
\nWe’re a work of art.
\nHe is gently shaping us mending <\/p>\n

562
\n00:41:12,800 –> 00:41:18,000
\nus for his good purpose.
\nSo may each of us put our <\/p>\n

563
\n00:41:18,000 –> 00:41:25,500
\nconfidence in him for he will
\nmake us perfect in every good <\/p>\n

564
\n00:41:25,500 –> 00:41:30,600
\nwork to do.
\nHis will working in you that <\/p>\n

565

\nwhich is well pleasing in his
\nsight through Jesus Christ to <\/p>\n
