00:00:46,600<br \/>\nI talked this week is an<br \/>\nexcitation that was given by <\/p>\n<p>10<br \/>\n00:00:46,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:00:49,700<br \/>\nBrother David Jennings back in<br \/>\n2015 at the Verdugo Hills <\/p>\n<p>11<br \/>\n00:00:49,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:00:52,600<br \/>\nEcclesia and is actually a<br \/>\nsuggestion that was given to me <\/p>\n<p>12<br \/>\n00:00:52,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:00:57,400<br \/>\nby my wife who remembered the<br \/>\nexportation and kind of gave me <\/p>\n<p>13<br \/>\n00:00:57,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:00:59,400<br \/>\nthe challenge to go into the<br \/>\nVerdugo Hills website and go <\/p>\n<p>14<br \/>\n00:00:59,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:03,600<br \/>\nspelunking back to find when<br \/>\nexactly this expectation was <\/p>\n<p>15<br \/>\n00:01:03,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:07,300<br \/>\ngiven and I remember it live as<br \/>\nwell when I when I heard it and <\/p>\n<p>16<br \/>\n00:01:07,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:10,300<br \/>\nit was it was a really really<br \/>\nawesome one and without giving <\/p>\n<p>17<br \/>\n00:01:10,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:13,900<br \/>\naway too many of the secrets<br \/>\nthat Brother David gave in his <\/p>\n<p>18<br \/>\n00:01:14,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:18,100<br \/>\nRotation, he takes the parable<br \/>\nof the sower for his expectation<\/p>\n<p>19<br \/>\n00:01:18,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:21,000<br \/>\nand kind of goes that next level<br \/>\non it really kind of digs into <\/p>\n<p>20<br \/>\n00:01:21,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:24,700<br \/>\nit and finds a way to take it<br \/>\nfrom Beyond being something <\/p>\n<p>21<br \/>\n00:01:24,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:27,700<br \/>\nwhere you look at it preaching<br \/>\nabout the the ground and the <\/p>\n<p>22<br \/>\n00:01:27,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:33,200<br \/>\nseed something that is much more<br \/>\napplicable to us in our in our <\/p>\n<p>23<br \/>\n00:01:33,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:35,200<br \/>\nwalk.<br \/>\nThis is an example of one of my <\/p>\n<p>24<br \/>\n00:01:35,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:39,200<br \/>\nfavorite types of Bible study<br \/>\nwhere the the brother takes a <\/p>\n<p>25<br \/>\n00:01:39,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:42,700<br \/>\ntopic or something that we all<br \/>\nknow super well, you know, the <\/p>\n<p>26<br \/>\n00:01:42,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:45,200<br \/>\nthe parable of the sower is<br \/>\nsomething that we have heard <\/p>\n<p>27<br \/>\n00:01:45,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:47,800<br \/>\nmany times that we studied when<br \/>\nwe were in Sunday school. <\/p>\n<p>28<br \/>\n00:01:47,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:52,400<br \/>\nMost of us almost could recite<br \/>\nthe essential like the cliff <\/p>\n<p>29<br \/>\n00:01:52,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:57,300<br \/>\nnotes of the parable by heart,<br \/>\nbut he takes it one level deeper<\/p>\n<p>30<br \/>\n00:01:57,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:00,100<br \/>\nand finds a whole bunch of new<br \/>\nmeaning that is just is really <\/p>\n<p>31<br \/>\n00:02:00,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:03,200<br \/>\nreally cool to listen to and<br \/>\nreally really good to hear <\/p>\n<p>32<br \/>\n00:02:03,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:06,100<br \/>\nreally excited to share this one<br \/>\nwith you. <\/p>\n<p>33<br \/>\n00:02:06,400 &#8211;&gt;

00:02:35,400<br \/>\ngiven that that we could share<br \/>\nwith everyone. <\/p>\n<p>44<br \/>\n00:02:35,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:38,900<br \/>\nSo it&#8217;s very much appreciated.<br \/>\nIf you&#8217;re enjoying this podcast.<\/p>\n<p>45<br \/>\n00:02:38,900 &#8211;&gt;

00:03:05,800<br \/>\nlisten to and kind of refocus<br \/>\nyou for the day. <\/p>\n<p>54<br \/>\n00:03:05,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:08,600<br \/>\nSo with that we&#8217;ll turn it over<br \/>\nto Brother David Jennings for <\/p>\n<p>55<br \/>\n00:03:08,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:13,700<br \/>\nhis excitation on the sower.<br \/>\nToday, I&#8217;m going to try to talk <\/p>\n<p>56<br \/>\n00:03:13,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:17,900<br \/>\nabout something that well, I<br \/>\nsuppose many of us probably have<\/p>\n<p>57<br \/>\n00:03:17,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:20,800<br \/>\nfelt that we&#8217;ve understood for<br \/>\nmany years, which is a parable <\/p>\n<p>58<br \/>\n00:03:20,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:24,300<br \/>\nof the sower.<br \/>\nWell we do but there&#8217;s all kinds<\/p>\n<p>59<br \/>\n00:03:24,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:26,400<br \/>\nof levels to the parable of the<br \/>\nsower. <\/p>\n<p>60<br \/>\n00:03:26,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:29,400<br \/>\nAnd so we&#8217;re going to take a<br \/>\nlook at that in a few moments <\/p>\n<p>61<br \/>\n00:03:30,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:34,300<br \/>\none of the beauties of this part<br \/>\nof Jesus&#8217;s life. <\/p>\n<p>62<br \/>\n00:03:35,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:41,600<br \/>\nThings are occurring, you know<br \/>\nback in the Jerusalem area John <\/p>\n<p>63<br \/>\n00:03:41,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:46,200<br \/>\nthe Baptist pretty soon here<br \/>\nwill be put in prison. <\/p>\n<p>64<br \/>\n00:03:47,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:50,800<br \/>\nA lot of the freedom that Jesus<br \/>\nis feeling right now here in <\/p>\n<p>65<br \/>\n00:03:50,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:55,800<br \/>\nGalilee is allowing him not only<br \/>\nto heal people and we have this <\/p>\n<p>66<br \/>\n00:03:55,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:59,200<br \/>\nbeautiful picture of people<br \/>\ncoming from all lands because <\/p>\n<p>67<br \/>\n00:03:59,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:03,400<br \/>\nthey hear that there is a<br \/>\nteacher who has the ability to <\/p>\n<p>68<br \/>\n00:04:03,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:05,400<br \/>\nheal and they come from all<br \/>\nover. <\/p>\n<p>69<br \/>\n00:04:05,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:10,400<br \/>\nFrom I do Mia from from<br \/>\nJerusalem from Jordan Tyre sidon<\/p>\n<p>70<br \/>\n00:04:10,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:14,500<br \/>\ngreat multitudes and they came<br \/>\nwith the idea that they could be<\/p>\n<p>71<br \/>\n00:04:14,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:18,200<br \/>\nhealed.<br \/>\nBut of course the principle I <\/p>\n<p>72<br \/>\n00:04:18,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:22,800<br \/>\nsuppose we should all remember.<br \/>\nIs that really what heals us is <\/p>\n<p>73<br \/>\n00:04:22,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:26,300<br \/>\nin fact the word of God and when<br \/>\nwe get to chapter 4, this is <\/p>\n<p>74<br \/>\n00:04:26,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:28,300<br \/>\nexactly what Jesus is going to<br \/>\ndo. <\/p>\n<p>75<br \/>\n00:04:28,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:32,700<br \/>\nHe&#8217;s going to begin to heal not<br \/>\nthe maladies that they have that<\/p>\n<p>76<br \/>\n00:04:32,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:35,400<br \/>\nwere associated with perhaps<br \/>\nskin. <\/p>\n<p>77<br \/>\n00:04:35,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:39,100<br \/>\nCeases and perhaps limbs that<br \/>\nweren&#8217;t working as they showed <\/p>\n<p>78<br \/>\n00:04:39,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:43,100<br \/>\nor ears that didn&#8217;t hear or<br \/>\ntongues of couldn&#8217;t speak or <\/p>\n<p>79<br \/>\n00:04:43,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:46,900<br \/>\nIsaac couldn&#8217;t see he was going<br \/>\nto heal minds and the way he was<\/p>\n<p>80<br \/>\n00:04:46,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:48,700<br \/>\ngoing to do that was with his<br \/>\nwords. <\/p>\n<p>81<br \/>\n00:04:49,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:52,600<br \/>\nAnother thing that&#8217;s kind of<br \/>\nimportant for us to state is <\/p>\n<p>82<br \/>\n00:04:52,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:55,800<br \/>\nthat I think it&#8217;s got important<br \/>\nimpact for us today. <\/p>\n<p>83<br \/>\n00:04:56,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:01,100<br \/>\nJesus was preaching the kingdom<br \/>\nof God in the gospel of Matthew <\/p>\n<p>84<br \/>\n00:05:01,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:03,900<br \/>\nthat we completed.<br \/>\nThere is a phrase that only <\/p>\n<p>85<br \/>\n00:05:03,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:05,400<br \/>\noccurs in the in the gospel of<br \/>\nMatthew. <\/p>\n<p>86<br \/>\n00:05:05,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:09,400<br \/>\nMatthew and that&#8217;s the Kingdom<br \/>\nof Heaven Jesus said the Kingdom<\/p>\n<p>87<br \/>\n00:05:09,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:13,200<br \/>\nof Heaven is at hand pray that<br \/>\nye enter into the Kingdom of <\/p>\n<p>88<br \/>\n00:05:13,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:19,000<br \/>\nHeaven and the message was and<br \/>\nstill is not only that there is <\/p>\n<p>89<br \/>\n00:05:19,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:22,900<br \/>\na kingdom to come where Jesus is<br \/>\ngoing to Reign on the earth and <\/p>\n<p>90<br \/>\n00:05:22,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:25,700<br \/>\nset up a world light white<br \/>\nKingdom that is going to <\/p>\n<p>91<br \/>\n00:05:25,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:29,500<br \/>\nfundamentally change this world.<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s what we look forward to <\/p>\n<p>92<br \/>\n00:05:29,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:32,900<br \/>\nand frankly.<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s what we preach right, but<\/p>\n<p>93<br \/>\n00:05:32,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:35,400<br \/>\nthere&#8217;s another message which is<br \/>\nthe kingdom of heaven and that <\/p>\n<p>94<br \/>\n00:05:35,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:38,500<br \/>\nit is a kingdom that we can<br \/>\nparticipate in right now. <\/p>\n<p>95<br \/>\n00:05:39,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:43,200<br \/>\nI have fuel at times looking<br \/>\nback in times that I&#8217;ve talked <\/p>\n<p>96<br \/>\n00:05:43,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:45,800<br \/>\nto people about the truth.<br \/>\nI probably have it emphasized <\/p>\n<p>97<br \/>\n00:05:45,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:50,000<br \/>\nthat as much as I should the<br \/>\nfact is is that we&#8217;re called <\/p>\n<p>98<br \/>\n00:05:50,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:53,400<br \/>\nright now to be in the Kingdom<br \/>\nof Heaven to be under the laws <\/p>\n<p>99<br \/>\n00:05:54,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:59,100<br \/>\nto be under the precepts that<br \/>\ncontrol of the Lord in heaven. <\/p>\n<p>100<br \/>\n00:06:00,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:04,000<br \/>\nWe are called ambassadors for<br \/>\nChrist by the Apostle Paul. <\/p>\n<p>101<br \/>\n00:06:04,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:06,900<br \/>\nWhat does that mean?<br \/>\nWell, it means that we&#8217;re in it.<\/p>\n<p>102<br \/>\n00:06:06,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:09,600<br \/>\nWe&#8217;re in a country.<br \/>\nWhere in a And wherever Nation <\/p>\n<p>103<br \/>\n00:06:09,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:14,800<br \/>\nwe might be but the laws that we<br \/>\nrepresent and the King that we <\/p>\n<p>104<br \/>\n00:06:14,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:18,400<br \/>\nrepresent isn&#8217;t the one that<br \/>\nwere in the middle of something.<\/p>\n<p>105<br \/>\n00:06:18,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:21,300<br \/>\nWe should all remember when we<br \/>\nget confused about whether we <\/p>\n<p>106<br \/>\n00:06:21,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:23,400<br \/>\nshould be involved in the<br \/>\npolitical structure of the <\/p>\n<p>107<br \/>\n00:06:23,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:25,200<br \/>\nworld.<br \/>\nWe&#8217;re not part of that. <\/p>\n<p>108<br \/>\n00:06:25,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:29,100<br \/>\nWe are ambassadors for Christ.<br \/>\nAnd that was the message that <\/p>\n<p>109<br \/>\n00:06:29,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:32,700<br \/>\nJesus was preaching to these<br \/>\npeople is that look it&#8217;s not <\/p>\n<p>110<br \/>\n00:06:32,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:36,900<br \/>\nonly that there will be a<br \/>\nkingdom of God on Earth which <\/p>\n<p>111<br \/>\n00:06:36,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:38,700<br \/>\nwill fundamentally change<br \/>\nthings. <\/p>\n<p>112<br \/>\n00:06:38,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:40,900<br \/>\nWhere Jesus will be king over<br \/>\nthe Earth. <\/p>\n<p>113<br \/>\n00:06:41,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:43,900<br \/>\nYou can be part of this Kingdom<br \/>\nright now. <\/p>\n<p>114<br \/>\n00:06:44,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:48,500<br \/>\nYour life can be changed your<br \/>\nheart can be healed. <\/p>\n<p>115<br \/>\n00:06:48,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:52,900<br \/>\nYou can experience and<br \/>\nparticipate in something that <\/p>\n<p>116<br \/>\n00:06:52,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:56,100<br \/>\nyou never would have before and<br \/>\nthis is what John the Baptist <\/p>\n<p>117<br \/>\n00:06:56,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:58,000<br \/>\ntalked about.<br \/>\nIsn&#8217;t it that they&#8217;re in <\/p>\n<p>118<br \/>\n00:06:58,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:59,900<br \/>\ndarkness.<br \/>\nThere was a great light that he <\/p>\n<p>119<br \/>\n00:06:59,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:03,900<br \/>\nwas bringing about and that<br \/>\ngreat light was the opening up <\/p>\n<p>120<br \/>\n00:07:03,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:08,400<br \/>\nof the hope of the Gospel the<br \/>\nability for people to now walk <\/p>\n<p>121<br \/>\n00:07:08,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:11,100<br \/>\nin.<br \/>\nLight and not in darkness and I <\/p>\n<p>122<br \/>\n00:07:11,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:13,600<br \/>\nsuppose sometimes in our own<br \/>\npreaching we ought to remember <\/p>\n<p>123<br \/>\n00:07:13,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:17,700<br \/>\nthis that you know, people are<br \/>\nlooking for a kingdom of God on <\/p>\n<p>124<br \/>\n00:07:17,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:20,600<br \/>\nEarth with Jesus coming back.<br \/>\nWell, they&#8217;re not really looking<\/p>\n<p>125<br \/>\n00:07:20,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:23,700<br \/>\nfor because they don&#8217;t know<br \/>\nabout it enough, but we preach <\/p>\n<p>126<br \/>\n00:07:23,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:25,700<br \/>\nthat to them and that&#8217;s a<br \/>\nwonderful thing. <\/p>\n<p>127<br \/>\n00:07:25,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:28,000<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s the thing that transcends<br \/>\neverything. <\/p>\n<p>128<br \/>\n00:07:29,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:33,200<br \/>\nBut a big message is that lives<br \/>\nare changed right now. <\/p>\n<p>129<br \/>\n00:07:34,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:39,200<br \/>\nRight now the we can be changed<br \/>\nthat the heart that we have <\/p>\n<p>130<br \/>\n00:07:40,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:44,200<br \/>\nwhich sometimes might be<br \/>\nimpenetrable can open up. <\/p>\n<p>131<br \/>\n00:07:45,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:50,100<br \/>\nThat it can sink into our hearts<br \/>\nwhen we hear it and then it can <\/p>\n<p>132<br \/>\n00:07:50,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:53,300<br \/>\nbring forth.<br \/>\nYou can bring forth fruit. <\/p>\n<p>133<br \/>\n00:07:53,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:56,300<br \/>\nAnd that&#8217;s the message of the<br \/>\nparable of the sower. <\/p>\n<p>134<br \/>\n00:07:56,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:00,000<br \/>\nSo let&#8217;s take a look at what he<br \/>\nsays in Mark chapter 4 beginning<\/p>\n<p>135<br \/>\n00:08:00,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:04,400<br \/>\nat verse 1.<br \/>\nHe began again to teach by the <\/p>\n<p>136<br \/>\n00:08:04,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:09,800<br \/>\nwayside and there was gathered<br \/>\nunto him a great multitude so <\/p>\n<p>137<br \/>\n00:08:09,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:14,000<br \/>\nthat he entered into a ship and<br \/>\nsat in the sea and the whole <\/p>\n<p>138<br \/>\n00:08:14,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:17,800<br \/>\nmultitude was buy the land on<br \/>\nthe seeds kind of a when you <\/p>\n<p>139<br \/>\n00:08:17,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:21,000<br \/>\nthink about this picture.<br \/>\nIt was such a throng that was <\/p>\n<p>140<br \/>\n00:08:21,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:24,300<br \/>\nhappening against him that they<br \/>\nactually had to launch out on a <\/p>\n<p>141<br \/>\n00:08:24,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:28,800<br \/>\nboat to keep a barrier between<br \/>\nthem and the preaching and Jesus<\/p>\n<p>142<br \/>\n00:08:28,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:32,200<br \/>\nfrom this boat is now going to<br \/>\nteach them and it says, In verse<\/p>\n<p>143<br \/>\n00:08:32,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:34,700<br \/>\n2.<br \/>\nHe taught them many things by <\/p>\n<p>144<br \/>\n00:08:34,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:40,000<br \/>\nParables and said unto them his<br \/>\nand said unto them in his <\/p>\n<p>145<br \/>\n00:08:40,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:44,900<br \/>\nDoctrine.<br \/>\nSo Jesus mission was not just to<\/p>\n<p>146<br \/>\n00:08:44,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:48,600<br \/>\ncome and to heal physical<br \/>\nmaladies. <\/p>\n<p>147<br \/>\n00:08:48,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:53,300<br \/>\nHis mission was to bring to them<br \/>\nDoctrine which allowed them to <\/p>\n<p>148<br \/>\n00:08:53,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:57,100<br \/>\nenter into the kingdom of heaven<br \/>\nand to be able to change their <\/p>\n<p>149<br \/>\n00:08:57,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:01,400<br \/>\nlives right now.<br \/>\nSo that&#8217;s the entry now we have <\/p>\n<p>150<br \/>\n00:09:01,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:05,900<br \/>\ninto the parable of the sower.<br \/>\nJesus says in verse 3 Harkin <\/p>\n<p>151<br \/>\n00:09:06,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:09,500<br \/>\nbehold there went out A sower to<br \/>\nso and it came to pass as he <\/p>\n<p>152<br \/>\n00:09:09,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:13,400<br \/>\nsowed some fell by the way side<br \/>\nand the fowls of the air came <\/p>\n<p>153<br \/>\n00:09:13,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:18,200<br \/>\nand devoured it up and some fell<br \/>\non Stony ground where I had not <\/p>\n<p>154<br \/>\n00:09:18,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:21,800<br \/>\nmuch Earth and immediately it<br \/>\nsprang up because it had no <\/p>\n<p>155<br \/>\n00:09:21,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:25,700<br \/>\ndepth of Earth.<br \/>\nBut when the sun was up it was <\/p>\n<p>156<br \/>\n00:09:25,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:30,300<br \/>\nscorched and because it had no<br \/>\nroot it withered away and some <\/p>\n<p>157<br \/>\n00:09:30,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:34,300<br \/>\nfell among thorns and the Thorns<br \/>\ngrew up and choked it and you <\/p>\n<p>158<br \/>\n00:09:34,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:38,800<br \/>\nand it yielded no fruit and<br \/>\nother fell on good ground and <\/p>\n<p>159<br \/>\n00:09:38,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:44,500<br \/>\ndid yield fruit that sprang up<br \/>\nand increased and brought forth <\/p>\n<p>160<br \/>\n00:09:44,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:49,400<br \/>\nsome 30 some 60 and some and<br \/>\nhundred. <\/p>\n<p>161<br \/>\n00:09:50,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:55,200<br \/>\nHe that hath ears to hear Let<br \/>\nHim hear now brothers and <\/p>\n<p>162<br \/>\n00:09:55,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:59,000<br \/>\nsisters the Lord in this<br \/>\nparticular Parable describes to <\/p>\n<p>163<br \/>\n00:09:59,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:02,600<br \/>\nhis disciples what the parable<br \/>\nis about. <\/p>\n<p>164<br \/>\n00:10:03,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:05,700<br \/>\nBut let&#8217;s just for a moment kind<br \/>\nof do a little bit of a <\/p>\n<p>165<br \/>\n00:10:05,708 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:08,900<br \/>\ndissection of what&#8217;s being said<br \/>\nhere and see if it perhaps helps<\/p>\n<p>166<br \/>\n00:10:08,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:11,900<br \/>\nus a little bit to understand<br \/>\nwhat&#8217;s being said because <\/p>\n<p>167<br \/>\n00:10:12,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:15,800<br \/>\nundoubtedly and the way I<br \/>\nsuppose I spent my first 60 <\/p>\n<p>168<br \/>\n00:10:15,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:19,500<br \/>\nyears thinking about this was<br \/>\nthis is talking about groups of <\/p>\n<p>169<br \/>\n00:10:19,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:24,100<br \/>\nof people groups of people.<br \/>\nSome of them are like, you know,<\/p>\n<p>170<br \/>\n00:10:24,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:29,100<br \/>\nthe hard pan dirt and some of<br \/>\nthem are perhaps like, you know,<\/p>\n<p>171<br \/>\n00:10:29,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:33,100<br \/>\nthe rocky ground and some have<br \/>\ngood ground, but you know, <\/p>\n<p>172<br \/>\n00:10:33,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:35,800<br \/>\nwhenever things get tough what<br \/>\nhappens is what we see that the <\/p>\n<p>173<br \/>\n00:10:35,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:38,500<br \/>\nworld chokes them and they can&#8217;t<br \/>\nproduce fruit and then finally <\/p>\n<p>174<br \/>\n00:10:38,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:40,700<br \/>\nthe good ground that&#8217;s four<br \/>\ncategories of people. <\/p>\n<p>175<br \/>\n00:10:41,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:43,000<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s the way I used to always<br \/>\nthink about it. <\/p>\n<p>176<br \/>\n00:10:44,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:47,900<br \/>\nBut then I realized here that<br \/>\nJesus is talking to his <\/p>\n<p>177<br \/>\n00:10:47,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:52,900<br \/>\ndisciples whenever he is talking<br \/>\nto those who had here ears to <\/p>\n<p>178<br \/>\n00:10:52,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:56,800<br \/>\nhear and he says that it&#8217;s given<br \/>\nto them to understand the <\/p>\n<p>179<br \/>\n00:10:56,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:59,200<br \/>\nmystery.<br \/>\nSo I would suggest to you that <\/p>\n<p>180<br \/>\n00:10:59,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:03,000<br \/>\nwhile that may be the case.<br \/>\nThere are people where the word <\/p>\n<p>181<br \/>\n00:11:03,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:08,000<br \/>\njust bounces off of them and<br \/>\nthere are those who perhaps it <\/p>\n<p>182<br \/>\n00:11:08,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:12,000<br \/>\nhas a small germination but goes<br \/>\nnarrow nowhere and others who it<\/p>\n<p>183<br \/>\n00:11:12,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:16,300<br \/>\nappears.<br \/>\nIt is a Full-fledged plant, but <\/p>\n<p>184<br \/>\n00:11:16,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:19,000<br \/>\ndoesn&#8217;t have any fruit and then<br \/>\nfinally good ground that those <\/p>\n<p>185<br \/>\n00:11:19,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:23,900<br \/>\nare four categories we could see<br \/>\nin people but because it&#8217;s <\/p>\n<p>186<br \/>\n00:11:23,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:27,600<br \/>\nreally spoken to us.<br \/>\nI&#8217;d like to suggest it&#8217;s really <\/p>\n<p>187<br \/>\n00:11:27,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:32,000<br \/>\nabout our own Hearts every one<br \/>\nof us. <\/p>\n<p>188<br \/>\n00:11:33,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:37,900<br \/>\nUnfortunately can relate to<br \/>\nthese four conditions. <\/p>\n<p>189<br \/>\n00:11:38,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:41,000<br \/>\nNow before we jump into that.<br \/>\nLet&#8217;s talk about the sower. <\/p>\n<p>190<br \/>\n00:11:42,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:47,100<br \/>\nNow if this was a parable to<br \/>\ntalk about good sewing you would<\/p>\n<p>191<br \/>\n00:11:47,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:49,300<br \/>\nsay this is not a very good<br \/>\nsower. <\/p>\n<p>192<br \/>\n00:11:49,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:53,900<br \/>\nIs it indiscriminate throwing of<br \/>\nseed everywhere? <\/p>\n<p>193<br \/>\n00:11:54,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:57,400<br \/>\nYou know, if you&#8217;ve ever had to<br \/>\nput seed in your yard, there&#8217;s <\/p>\n<p>194<br \/>\n00:11:57,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:59,800<br \/>\nplaces.<br \/>\nYou don&#8217;t want the grass to grow<\/p>\n<p>195<br \/>\n00:12:00,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:03,800<br \/>\nand you don&#8217;t put seed there<br \/>\nright you Carefully Mark those <\/p>\n<p>196<br \/>\n00:12:03,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:07,000<br \/>\nthings out and when you get to<br \/>\nthose edges, you&#8217;re very careful<\/p>\n<p>197<br \/>\n00:12:07,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:10,000<br \/>\nwhen you put the seat down to<br \/>\nmake sure that it doesn&#8217;t spill <\/p>\n<p>198<br \/>\n00:12:10,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:15,500<br \/>\nover into the other area.<br \/>\nSo what&#8217;s wrong with this sword?<\/p>\n<p>199<br \/>\n00:12:16,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:19,900<br \/>\nWell, I think the message here<br \/>\nis important for us. <\/p>\n<p>200<br \/>\n00:12:20,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:23,400<br \/>\nThe seed is indiscriminately<br \/>\nbeing sown. <\/p>\n<p>201<br \/>\n00:12:23,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:28,000<br \/>\nAnd the reason it&#8217;s being sown<br \/>\nthat way is because the message <\/p>\n<p>202<br \/>\n00:12:28,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:33,700<br \/>\nis to get the gospel message out<br \/>\nto everybody all places at all <\/p>\n<p>203<br \/>\n00:12:33,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:39,400<br \/>\ntimes and it also means that in<br \/>\nour lives we&#8217;re going to see <\/p>\n<p>204<br \/>\n00:12:39,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:42,900<br \/>\nthat the message is going to be<br \/>\nhitting us and it&#8217;s all about <\/p>\n<p>205<br \/>\n00:12:42,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:47,800<br \/>\nhow we are going to receive it.<br \/>\nNow you can make a whole <\/p>\n<p>206<br \/>\n00:12:47,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:50,300<br \/>\nexhortation about this issue<br \/>\nabout preaching. <\/p>\n<p>207<br \/>\n00:12:53,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:56,100<br \/>\nI suppose that you could say you<br \/>\ncould make a case that <\/p>\n<p>208<br \/>\n00:12:56,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:00,500<br \/>\nchristadelphians historically we<br \/>\nlike to preach to people just <\/p>\n<p>209<br \/>\n00:13:00,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:05,600<br \/>\nlike ourselves people from the<br \/>\nsame socio-economic groups that <\/p>\n<p>210<br \/>\n00:13:05,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:08,600<br \/>\nhave the same level of Education<br \/>\nEtc. <\/p>\n<p>211<br \/>\n00:13:09,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:11,300<br \/>\nBut that&#8217;s not the message of<br \/>\nthe solar the message of the <\/p>\n<p>212<br \/>\n00:13:11,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:15,500<br \/>\nsower is don&#8217;t go around trying<br \/>\nto figure out who&#8217;s going to <\/p>\n<p>213<br \/>\n00:13:15,508 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:17,600<br \/>\nrespond.<br \/>\nDon&#8217;t go saying. <\/p>\n<p>214<br \/>\n00:13:17,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:20,700<br \/>\nWell, I&#8217;m going to go to this<br \/>\narea they&#8217;re poor and their have<\/p>\n<p>215<br \/>\n00:13:20,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:24,500<br \/>\na difficult time with life.<br \/>\nListen at the expense of going <\/p>\n<p>216<br \/>\n00:13:24,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:27,500<br \/>\nto somebody else.<br \/>\nThe message is distribute the <\/p>\n<p>217<br \/>\n00:13:27,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:31,300<br \/>\nseed everywhere.<br \/>\nWe don&#8217;t know where the good <\/p>\n<p>218<br \/>\n00:13:31,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:36,300<br \/>\nsoil is.<br \/>\nSo this parable about these this<\/p>\n<p>219<br \/>\n00:13:36,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:39,000<br \/>\nthe parable of the sower<br \/>\nundoubtedly applies to groups of<\/p>\n<p>220<br \/>\n00:13:39,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:43,100<br \/>\npeople but we ourselves and the<br \/>\ndisciples that he speak into our<\/p>\n<p>221<br \/>\n00:13:43,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:46,600<br \/>\nnever asked to judge.<br \/>\nWe&#8217;re never asked to put a group<\/p>\n<p>222<br \/>\n00:13:46,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:52,000<br \/>\nof people and say oh He&#8217;s from<br \/>\nthe Stony ground or that person <\/p>\n<p>223<br \/>\n00:13:52,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:54,600<br \/>\nover there.<br \/>\nWe preach the truth from there. <\/p>\n<p>224<br \/>\n00:13:54,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:59,600<br \/>\nThey must be like the Wayside or<br \/>\nthere is a person over here all <\/p>\n<p>225<br \/>\n00:13:59,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:02,300<br \/>\ntheir life.<br \/>\nThey&#8217;re in the Ecclesia and they<\/p>\n<p>226<br \/>\n00:14:02,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:06,300<br \/>\nnever bore fruit never changed.<br \/>\nNow, that must be the one that <\/p>\n<p>227<br \/>\n00:14:06,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:09,600<br \/>\nhad the Throne of the Thorns.<br \/>\nOf course, we put ourselves in <\/p>\n<p>228<br \/>\n00:14:09,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:13,100<br \/>\nthat good ground, right, you<br \/>\nknow, we&#8217;re never asked to do <\/p>\n<p>229<br \/>\n00:14:13,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:16,400<br \/>\nthat and the disciples were<br \/>\nnever asked to do that. <\/p>\n<p>230<br \/>\n00:14:16,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:21,100<br \/>\nSo it must Have to do with<br \/>\nsomething that we are asked to <\/p>\n<p>231<br \/>\n00:14:21,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:23,500<br \/>\ndo and that is to judge our own<br \/>\nHearts. <\/p>\n<p>232<br \/>\n00:14:24,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:28,300<br \/>\nSo sadly we can see people in<br \/>\nthese categories and they can <\/p>\n<p>233<br \/>\n00:14:28,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:32,200<br \/>\nalert us to the threats but the<br \/>\nreal message is to those who <\/p>\n<p>234<br \/>\n00:14:32,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:39,700<br \/>\nhear What are my personal<br \/>\nvulnerabilities in what ways is <\/p>\n<p>235<br \/>\n00:14:39,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:45,900<br \/>\nthe word of God coming to me,<br \/>\nbut it&#8217;s not penetrating or it&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>236<br \/>\n00:14:45,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:49,700<br \/>\nnot thriving or it&#8217;s not bearing<br \/>\nfruit. <\/p>\n<p>237<br \/>\n00:14:50,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:54,300<br \/>\nAnd where is my faith fainting<br \/>\nwith and without root? <\/p>\n<p>238<br \/>\n00:14:54,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:56,300<br \/>\nAnd how is this world&#8217;s<br \/>\ninfluence? <\/p>\n<p>239<br \/>\n00:14:56,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:59,900<br \/>\nPossibly choking me and keeping<br \/>\nme from bearing fruit. <\/p>\n<p>240<br \/>\n00:15:00,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:05,400<br \/>\nAnd if I am the good ground, can<br \/>\nI examine my own heart and begin<\/p>\n<p>241<br \/>\n00:15:05,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:10,500<br \/>\nto see change so that instead of<br \/>\nbearing The Works of the flesh? <\/p>\n<p>242<br \/>\n00:15:11,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:13,900<br \/>\nI can see that in my life.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m beginning to think with a <\/p>\n<p>243<br \/>\n00:15:13,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:17,400<br \/>\ndifferent mind and the natural<br \/>\nthings that are emitting from my<\/p>\n<p>244<br \/>\n00:15:17,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:20,500<br \/>\nmy life.<br \/>\nThe things that are my behaviors<\/p>\n<p>245<br \/>\n00:15:20,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:23,600<br \/>\nindeed are the fruit of the<br \/>\nspirit. <\/p>\n<p>246<br \/>\n00:15:24,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:28,800<br \/>\nSo let&#8217;s talk about this first<br \/>\ngroup where we have the idea of <\/p>\n<p>247<br \/>\n00:15:28,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:32,100<br \/>\nthe sower.<br \/>\nHe&#8217;s sewing by the wayside in <\/p>\n<p>248<br \/>\n00:15:32,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:36,300<br \/>\nverse 4 and the fowls of the air<br \/>\ncame and devoured it up. <\/p>\n<p>249<br \/>\n00:15:37,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:39,700<br \/>\nSo what do we have to say about<br \/>\nthe first of all there&#8217;s <\/p>\n<p>250<br \/>\n00:15:39,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:46,100<br \/>\nabsolutely zero germination in<br \/>\nother words the seeds there, but<\/p>\n<p>251<br \/>\n00:15:46,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:51,600<br \/>\nthe soil is so hard, you know,<br \/>\nthe Wayside the word Wayside is <\/p>\n<p>252<br \/>\n00:15:51,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:57,400<br \/>\nused in the NIV and the ESV.<br \/>\nThe JB Phillips says the the <\/p>\n<p>253<br \/>\n00:15:57,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:00,100<br \/>\nroadside and I think that gives<br \/>\nyou an idea, you know. <\/p>\n<p>254<br \/>\n00:16:00,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:04,800<br \/>\nIf you go to a path that&#8217;s<br \/>\nconstantly being walked on it is<\/p>\n<p>255<br \/>\n00:16:04,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:08,000<br \/>\nso hard that water doesn&#8217;t even<br \/>\npenetrate on it. <\/p>\n<p>256<br \/>\n00:16:08,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:12,900<br \/>\nIt just kind of runs off of it<br \/>\nand I suppose that a hardened <\/p>\n<p>257<br \/>\n00:16:12,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:15,600<br \/>\nsurface like this which is<br \/>\nbeaten down. <\/p>\n<p>258<br \/>\n00:16:15,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:19,900<br \/>\nThere is no porosity what<br \/>\nhappens to the seed gets there <\/p>\n<p>259<br \/>\n00:16:19,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:23,800<br \/>\nand it sits on it, but it just<br \/>\nsits there and goes nowhere. <\/p>\n<p>260<br \/>\n00:16:25,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:30,900<br \/>\nJust doesn&#8217;t go anywhere.<br \/>\nIn fact, it says the fouls come <\/p>\n<p>261<br \/>\n00:16:30,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:35,200<br \/>\nand they devoured or maybe the<br \/>\nelapse of time takes it away and<\/p>\n<p>262<br \/>\n00:16:35,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:39,700<br \/>\nthe soil it just looks the same<br \/>\nSunday after Sunday exhortation <\/p>\n<p>263<br \/>\n00:16:39,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:46,200<br \/>\nafter exhortation.<br \/>\nIt doesn&#8217;t penetrate. maybe I <\/p>\n<p>264<br \/>\n00:16:48,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:51,800<br \/>\nmaybe I have a problem in my<br \/>\nheart with a brother. <\/p>\n<p>265<br \/>\n00:16:53,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:57,100<br \/>\nAnd I hear the exhortation<br \/>\nencouraging me to forgive. <\/p>\n<p>266<br \/>\n00:16:58,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:02,000<br \/>\nI read the word of God<br \/>\nencouraging me and exhorting me <\/p>\n<p>267<br \/>\n00:17:02,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:09,900<br \/>\nthat love is the It&#8217;s it is what<br \/>\nexudes from the the fruit of the<\/p>\n<p>268<br \/>\n00:17:09,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:15,800<br \/>\nspirit it is how we can tell if<br \/>\nindeed we are disciples and yet.<\/p>\n<p>269<br \/>\n00:17:17,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:22,700<br \/>\nI have a hard in penetrate heart<br \/>\nor maybe there&#8217;s please for <\/p>\n<p>270<br \/>\n00:17:23,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:24,900<br \/>\nfurther engagement in the<br \/>\nEcclesia. <\/p>\n<p>271<br \/>\n00:17:24,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:28,200<br \/>\nWe need to go and do more.<br \/>\nWe need more helpers. <\/p>\n<p>272<br \/>\n00:17:28,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:32,700<br \/>\nWe need more hands and it seems<br \/>\nlike it just lays on that <\/p>\n<p>273<br \/>\n00:17:32,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:35,800<br \/>\nsurface and the birds come and<br \/>\ntake it away. <\/p>\n<p>274<br \/>\n00:17:37,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:42,000<br \/>\nWhat happens when we have hard<br \/>\nimpenetrable surfaces when the <\/p>\n<p>275<br \/>\n00:17:42,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:46,400<br \/>\nseed lands on it, but it doesn&#8217;t<br \/>\npenetrate is that <\/p>\n<p>276<br \/>\n00:17:46,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:51,700<br \/>\nself-examination is broken.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m not looking inside my heart.<\/p>\n<p>277<br \/>\n00:17:52,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:58,200<br \/>\nI&#8217;m not I&#8217;m not thinking about<br \/>\nwhat do I need to do with this <\/p>\n<p>278<br \/>\n00:17:58,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:01,100<br \/>\nword?<br \/>\nI&#8217;m not challenging my behavior <\/p>\n<p>279<br \/>\n00:18:01,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:05,900<br \/>\nin the way that I think and when<br \/>\nthat happens, what I would liken<\/p>\n<p>280<br \/>\n00:18:05,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:11,400<br \/>\nmyself to is the Wayside the<br \/>\nwords hitting but it&#8217;s running <\/p>\n<p>281<br \/>\n00:18:11,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:13,200<br \/>\nright off.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s not going anywhere. <\/p>\n<p>282<br \/>\n00:18:13,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:16,900<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s a threat.<br \/>\nLet&#8217;s go on to the next one, <\/p>\n<p>283<br \/>\n00:18:16,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:20,800<br \/>\nwhich is Stony ground.<br \/>\nNow Stony ground is when we hear<\/p>\n<p>284<br \/>\n00:18:20,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:24,700<br \/>\nthe message.<br \/>\nAnd we see the need to change <\/p>\n<p>285<br \/>\n00:18:25,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:29,100<br \/>\nand maybe we even begin to<br \/>\nchange and we might even see <\/p>\n<p>286<br \/>\n00:18:29,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:34,100<br \/>\nsome growth.<br \/>\nBut unfortunately, the soil is <\/p>\n<p>287<br \/>\n00:18:34,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:37,400<br \/>\nshallow and the nutrients just<br \/>\naren&#8217;t sufficient. <\/p>\n<p>288<br \/>\n00:18:37,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:43,000<br \/>\nWe don&#8217;t keep feeding it.<br \/>\nWe don&#8217;t keep going back to the <\/p>\n<p>289<br \/>\n00:18:43,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:46,800<br \/>\nword or going back to the<br \/>\nfellowship that we drawn to be <\/p>\n<p>290<br \/>\n00:18:46,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:49,900<br \/>\nable to get strength and<br \/>\nfundamentally what the biggest <\/p>\n<p>291<br \/>\n00:18:49,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:53,300<br \/>\nproblem is for me.<br \/>\nAnyway, when I think of my mind <\/p>\n<p>292<br \/>\n00:18:53,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:56,900<br \/>\nand the Stony ground, it&#8217;s when<br \/>\nI think I can do it all by <\/p>\n<p>293<br \/>\n00:18:56,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:01,300<br \/>\nmyself.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s what I think I have the <\/p>\n<p>294<br \/>\n00:19:01,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:05,700<br \/>\nnutrients myself to make this<br \/>\nplant grow up and do everything <\/p>\n<p>295<br \/>\n00:19:05,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:08,800<br \/>\nit needs to do.<br \/>\nWhat I do that. <\/p>\n<p>296<br \/>\n00:19:09,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:13,400<br \/>\nI have insufficient focus on my<br \/>\nneed. <\/p>\n<p>297<br \/>\n00:19:15,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:17,400<br \/>\nAnd that in itself is the<br \/>\nproblem. <\/p>\n<p>298<br \/>\n00:19:17,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:21,000<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s muscular Christianity if<br \/>\nyou want to use that idea and <\/p>\n<p>299<br \/>\n00:19:21,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:24,400<br \/>\nwhen we fail to nurture<br \/>\nourselves and to recognize the <\/p>\n<p>300<br \/>\n00:19:24,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:28,700<br \/>\nneed that we have with the word<br \/>\nwith with our participation and <\/p>\n<p>301<br \/>\n00:19:28,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:33,600<br \/>\nfellowship, what happens is when<br \/>\nwe&#8217;re under strain whenever <\/p>\n<p>302<br \/>\n00:19:33,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:37,700<br \/>\nthings are difficult, we wither<br \/>\njust like that plant does. <\/p>\n<p>303<br \/>\n00:19:39,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:42,700<br \/>\nThe pressure is there on it and<br \/>\nit reverts back to the thinking <\/p>\n<p>304<br \/>\n00:19:42,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:46,300<br \/>\nof the flesh we choose to put<br \/>\nthe Lord first, but then <\/p>\n<p>305<br \/>\n00:19:46,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:50,700<br \/>\nsomething comes that we really<br \/>\nwant and we realize we didn&#8217;t <\/p>\n<p>306<br \/>\n00:19:50,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:55,600<br \/>\nhave the depth that we really<br \/>\nneeded to have maybe in some <\/p>\n<p>307<br \/>\n00:19:55,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:58,000<br \/>\nways you&#8217;ve experienced that<br \/>\nalso. <\/p>\n<p>308<br \/>\n00:19:59,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:02,000<br \/>\nNow the next two both have good<br \/>\nsoil. <\/p>\n<p>309<br \/>\n00:20:02,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:04,500<br \/>\nIf you notice that before,<br \/>\nthere&#8217;s the one that&#8217;s choked by<\/p>\n<p>310<br \/>\n00:20:04,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:08,100<br \/>\nthorns and there&#8217;s the good<br \/>\nsoil, but they both have good <\/p>\n<p>311<br \/>\n00:20:08,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:13,700<br \/>\nsoil see in the case where it&#8217;s<br \/>\nchoked by Thorns the seed had <\/p>\n<p>312<br \/>\n00:20:13,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:20,400<br \/>\neverything it needed.<br \/>\nIt had perfect Scott soil, right<\/p>\n<p>313<br \/>\n00:20:20,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:25,000<br \/>\nall the nutrients have been<br \/>\ngiven to it all the watering the<\/p>\n<p>314<br \/>\n00:20:25,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:28,100<br \/>\nfeeding it was there everything<br \/>\nwas there. <\/p>\n<p>315<br \/>\n00:20:29,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:34,500<br \/>\nBut the problem was in this<br \/>\nparticular case Thorns come up <\/p>\n<p>316<br \/>\n00:20:34,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:38,700<br \/>\nnext to the plant and the Thorns<br \/>\nby the way, they don&#8217;t kill the <\/p>\n<p>317<br \/>\n00:20:38,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:42,100<br \/>\nplant which is very interesting<br \/>\nis similar in a way to the <\/p>\n<p>318<br \/>\n00:20:42,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:46,700<br \/>\nparable of the tares, isn&#8217;t it?<br \/>\nJesus is don&#8217;t pull the tears up<\/p>\n<p>319<br \/>\n00:20:47,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:50,400<br \/>\nthat&#8217;ll be done when the Angels<br \/>\nseparate them out at the <\/p>\n<p>320<br \/>\n00:20:50,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:53,600<br \/>\nJudgment.<br \/>\nBut the idea here, is that the <\/p>\n<p>321<br \/>\n00:20:53,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:55,600<br \/>\nThorns they don&#8217;t kill the<br \/>\nplant. <\/p>\n<p>322<br \/>\n00:20:56,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:04,800<br \/>\nBut what is it that they cause<br \/>\nnon productivity So here&#8217;s a <\/p>\n<p>323<br \/>\n00:21:04,808 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:09,200<br \/>\nchallenge for us what this is<br \/>\nsaying is that I can actually be<\/p>\n<p>324<br \/>\n00:21:09,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:14,400<br \/>\na fully developed plant.<br \/>\nI could look like everything is <\/p>\n<p>325<br \/>\n00:21:14,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:16,300<br \/>\nperfect.<br \/>\nI grow up. <\/p>\n<p>326<br \/>\n00:21:16,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:20,500<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve got my you know, what a<br \/>\nplants have they have they have <\/p>\n<p>327<br \/>\n00:21:20,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:25,300<br \/>\narms will say they have branches<br \/>\nthat come off of them and <\/p>\n<p>328<br \/>\n00:21:25,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:29,400<br \/>\neverything is there you look for<br \/>\nto bear fruit and it doesn&#8217;t <\/p>\n<p>329<br \/>\n00:21:29,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:32,700<br \/>\nbear fruit and why doesn&#8217;t it<br \/>\nbear fruit well because it&#8217;s <\/p>\n<p>330<br \/>\n00:21:32,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:39,800<br \/>\nchoked by the world choked by<br \/>\nthorns and this one maybe <\/p>\n<p>331<br \/>\n00:21:39,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:42,800<br \/>\nperhaps a bit useful for us.<br \/>\nWe&#8217;ll look at this in a moment. <\/p>\n<p>332<br \/>\n00:21:43,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:47,000<br \/>\nEverything looks okay, but<br \/>\nthere&#8217;s just no change going on <\/p>\n<p>333<br \/>\n00:21:47,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:50,700<br \/>\ninside and the fruit of the<br \/>\nspirit just as in being produced<\/p>\n<p>334<br \/>\n00:21:50,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:56,100<br \/>\nin the world&#8217;s cares and the<br \/>\nlusts of riches and other things<\/p>\n<p>335<br \/>\n00:21:56,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:01,000<br \/>\nthey secretly Rule and they<br \/>\nprevent that mind from being <\/p>\n<p>336<br \/>\n00:22:01,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:05,100<br \/>\nchanged from a mind of the flesh<br \/>\nto a mind of the spirit and <\/p>\n<p>337<br \/>\n00:22:05,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:08,100<br \/>\nbecause of that there&#8217;s no<br \/>\nproduction of fruit. <\/p>\n<p>338<br \/>\n00:22:10,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:12,100<br \/>\nAnd finally, there&#8217;s the last<br \/>\none that&#8217;s mentioned to us. <\/p>\n<p>339<br \/>\n00:22:12,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:14,400<br \/>\nAnd that&#8217;s the good soil.<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s what we all judged <\/p>\n<p>340<br \/>\n00:22:14,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:20,700<br \/>\nourselves to be right good soil.<br \/>\nAnd I believe all of us have <\/p>\n<p>341<br \/>\n00:22:20,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:25,500<br \/>\ngood soil within us.<br \/>\nAll the seed is that it&#8217;s in <\/p>\n<p>342<br \/>\n00:22:25,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:30,700<br \/>\ngood soil is seed that can<br \/>\neither be encumbered by the <\/p>\n<p>343<br \/>\n00:22:30,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:34,100<br \/>\nthings of the world or they can<br \/>\nbe productive. <\/p>\n<p>344<br \/>\n00:22:35,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:39,700<br \/>\nSee in verse 20 we see what<br \/>\ncauses those to be productive <\/p>\n<p>345<br \/>\n00:22:39,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:45,100<br \/>\nthe difference is this and verse<br \/>\n20 the good soil says these are <\/p>\n<p>346<br \/>\n00:22:45,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:49,500<br \/>\nthey which are sown on good<br \/>\nground such as hear the word. <\/p>\n<p>347<br \/>\n00:22:49,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:55,600<br \/>\nSo there&#8217;s the hearing of the<br \/>\nword the receiving of it and <\/p>\n<p>348<br \/>\n00:22:55,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:00,100<br \/>\nbringing forth fruit some 30<br \/>\nsome 60 and some 100. <\/p>\n<p>349<br \/>\n00:23:00,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:05,000<br \/>\nSo what happens here is the word<br \/>\ngoes beyond an academic. <\/p>\n<p>350<br \/>\n00:23:05,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:10,200<br \/>\nKnowledge to a real spiritual<br \/>\nchange and brothers and sisters <\/p>\n<p>351<br \/>\n00:23:10,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:15,300<br \/>\nin my years in the truth.<br \/>\nIf I had to boil it down to what<\/p>\n<p>352<br \/>\n00:23:15,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:22,000<br \/>\nI thirst for the most it&#8217;s for<br \/>\nbeing able to realize that <\/p>\n<p>353<br \/>\n00:23:22,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:27,700<br \/>\nrealize in my life more<br \/>\nspiritual thinking it&#8217;s to be <\/p>\n<p>354<br \/>\n00:23:27,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:33,500<br \/>\nable to have a mind that thinks<br \/>\nmore like the Lord Jesus Christ <\/p>\n<p>355<br \/>\n00:23:34,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:37,500<br \/>\nnow certainly our academic of in<br \/>\nknowledge of the truth is <\/p>\n<p>356<br \/>\n00:23:37,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:39,300<br \/>\nimportant and it helps us to get<br \/>\nthere. <\/p>\n<p>357<br \/>\n00:23:39,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:45,000<br \/>\nBut what I want to have Is what<br \/>\nmaybe you don&#8217;t see and that&#8217;s <\/p>\n<p>358<br \/>\n00:23:45,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:48,300<br \/>\nwhat&#8217;s really happening inside<br \/>\nmy mind the way that I think and<\/p>\n<p>359<br \/>\n00:23:48,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:51,500<br \/>\nthe way I react those were the<br \/>\ngood soil. <\/p>\n<p>360<br \/>\n00:23:51,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:56,300<br \/>\nI believe you&#8217;re aware of the<br \/>\nchange that&#8217;s going on within <\/p>\n<p>361<br \/>\n00:23:56,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:59,100<br \/>\nyou aren&#8217;t you?<br \/>\nDon&#8217;t you feel it? <\/p>\n<p>362<br \/>\n00:24:00,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:24:03,900<br \/>\nDon&#8217;t you know this something<br \/>\nyou unusual something unique is <\/p>\n<p>363<br \/>\n00:24:03,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:24:07,700<br \/>\nhappening within you you don&#8217;t<br \/>\nsee things the way the rest of <\/p>\n<p>364<br \/>\n00:24:07,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:24:11,100<br \/>\nthe world does and you don&#8217;t<br \/>\neven see things the way you used<\/p>\n<p>365<br \/>\n00:24:11,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:24:15,700<br \/>\nto see him before in your life<br \/>\nyou&#8217;ve changed and that change <\/p>\n<p>366<br \/>\n00:24:16,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:24:20,300<br \/>\nis sometimes thirtyfold<br \/>\nsixtyfold or a hundredfold. <\/p>\n<p>367<br \/>\n00:24:21,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:24:24,900<br \/>\nNow, we have a lot of examples a<br \/>\nlot of examples of good soil may<\/p>\n<p>368<br \/>\n00:24:24,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:24:28,500<br \/>\njust take a couple looks here in<br \/>\nscripture Philippians chapter 4 <\/p>\n<p>369<br \/>\n00:24:35,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:24:41,000<br \/>\nPhilippians chapter 4 beginning<br \/>\nat verse 9. <\/p>\n<p>370<br \/>\n00:24:41,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:24:43,500<br \/>\nThis sounds to me like good<br \/>\nsoil. <\/p>\n<p>371<br \/>\n00:24:44,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:24:48,100<br \/>\nAfter concluding all the things<br \/>\nthat we should be focusing on <\/p>\n<p>372<br \/>\n00:24:48,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:24:52,100<br \/>\nthe things that are honest and<br \/>\njust and pure and verse 8 verse <\/p>\n<p>373<br \/>\n00:24:52,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:24:53,500<br \/>\n9.<br \/>\nHe says those things which ye <\/p>\n<p>374<br \/>\n00:24:53,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:24:57,000<br \/>\nhave both learned.<br \/>\nSo you&#8217;ve heard them and <\/p>\n<p>375<br \/>\n00:24:57,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:02,200<br \/>\nreceived and heard and see in me<br \/>\ndo so. <\/p>\n<p>376<br \/>\n00:25:02,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:04,900<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s not good enough just to<br \/>\nhear it not good enough just to <\/p>\n<p>377<br \/>\n00:25:04,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:08,600<br \/>\nreceive it you have to do it.<br \/>\nAnd when you do those things he <\/p>\n<p>378<br \/>\n00:25:08,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:12,500<br \/>\nsays he says then the God of<br \/>\nPeace shall be with you. <\/p>\n<p>379<br \/>\n00:25:13,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:18,100<br \/>\nBut I rejoiced in the Lord<br \/>\ngreatly that now at the last <\/p>\n<p>380<br \/>\n00:25:18,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:21,800<br \/>\nyour care of me hath flourished<br \/>\nagain, where any were also <\/p>\n<p>381<br \/>\n00:25:21,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:24,000<br \/>\ncareful but she lacked<br \/>\nopportunity. <\/p>\n<p>382<br \/>\n00:25:24,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:28,200<br \/>\nNot that I speak in respect of<br \/>\nwant for have learned in <\/p>\n<p>383<br \/>\n00:25:28,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:31,800<br \/>\nwhatsoever State I am therewith<br \/>\nto be content. <\/p>\n<p>384<br \/>\n00:25:31,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:36,100<br \/>\nSo what is it the Apostle Paul&#8217;s<br \/>\nchanged thinking is how is he <\/p>\n<p>385<br \/>\n00:25:36,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:38,800<br \/>\ngone from the thinking of the<br \/>\nflesh to the thinking of the <\/p>\n<p>386<br \/>\n00:25:38,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:41,500<br \/>\nspirit?<br \/>\nHow is he gone from hearing the <\/p>\n<p>387<br \/>\n00:25:41,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:44,300<br \/>\nword to receiving the To bearing<br \/>\nfruit. <\/p>\n<p>388<br \/>\n00:25:44,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:48,800<br \/>\nWell, here it is.<br \/>\nI know both how to be abased and<\/p>\n<p>389<br \/>\n00:25:48,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:52,800<br \/>\nI know how to abound everywhere<br \/>\nand in all things. <\/p>\n<p>390<br \/>\n00:25:52,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:56,600<br \/>\nI am instructed both to be full<br \/>\nand to be hungry both to abound <\/p>\n<p>391<br \/>\n00:25:56,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:02,200<br \/>\nand to suffer need I can do all<br \/>\nthings through Christ which <\/p>\n<p>392<br \/>\n00:26:02,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:07,800<br \/>\nstrengtheneth me now that is the<br \/>\nmind of the spirit the one that <\/p>\n<p>393<br \/>\n00:26:07,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:14,100<br \/>\nI want to have more of and that<br \/>\nis an example of one who had Had<\/p>\n<p>394<br \/>\n00:26:14,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:16,200<br \/>\na change in his life a change in<br \/>\nthe way. <\/p>\n<p>395<br \/>\n00:26:16,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:21,300<br \/>\nHe thought the the seed entered<br \/>\nin and it was able to bring <\/p>\n<p>396<br \/>\n00:26:21,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:24,400<br \/>\nforth fruit.<br \/>\nWe can look at so many other <\/p>\n<p>397<br \/>\n00:26:24,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:29,000<br \/>\nexamples of good soil and how<br \/>\nthat good Soul brings about a <\/p>\n<p>398<br \/>\n00:26:29,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:32,800<br \/>\ndifferent way of thinking<br \/>\nremember even Jesus were told in<\/p>\n<p>399<br \/>\n00:26:32,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:38,000<br \/>\nHebrews chapter in chapter 5, it<br \/>\nsays that he learned obedience <\/p>\n<p>400<br \/>\n00:26:38,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:42,500<br \/>\nby the things that he suffered<br \/>\ngood soil allows us to learn <\/p>\n<p>401<br \/>\n00:26:42,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:44,300<br \/>\nthings that we We wouldn&#8217;t<br \/>\notherwise. <\/p>\n<p>402<br \/>\n00:26:45,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:49,300<br \/>\nNow there is an additional<br \/>\nnarrative in Mark&#8217;s gospel that <\/p>\n<p>403<br \/>\n00:26:49,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:51,700<br \/>\ndoesn&#8217;t happen to Matthew&#8217;s<br \/>\ngospel about the parable of the <\/p>\n<p>404<br \/>\n00:26:51,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:54,000<br \/>\nsower.<br \/>\nAnd if you&#8217;ll turn with me it&#8217;s <\/p>\n<p>405<br \/>\n00:26:54,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:59,000<br \/>\nover in verse 26 and I think is<br \/>\nan important one on this idea of<\/p>\n<p>406<br \/>\n00:26:59,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:27:03,100<br \/>\nunderstanding these different<br \/>\naspects that we have in our life<\/p>\n<p>407<br \/>\n00:27:03,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:27:07,800<br \/>\nare there places where I am be<br \/>\nin penetrant and I&#8217;m not <\/p>\n<p>408<br \/>\n00:27:07,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:27:11,500<br \/>\nlistening.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m not willing to change are <\/p>\n<p>409<br \/>\n00:27:11,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:27:16,000<br \/>\nthere.<br \/>\nAre there places where you know,<\/p>\n<p>410<br \/>\n00:27:16,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:27:19,400<br \/>\nI start to do these things, but<br \/>\nI just don&#8217;t seem to have the <\/p>\n<p>411<br \/>\n00:27:19,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:27:24,300<br \/>\nfaith to follow through and are<br \/>\nthere times where the world <\/p>\n<p>412<br \/>\n00:27:24,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:27:27,600<br \/>\nactually is choking me and<br \/>\nkeeping me from bearing fruit. <\/p>\n<p>413<br \/>\n00:27:28,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:27:31,800<br \/>\nThose are things we need to be<br \/>\ninvolved with as we examine <\/p>\n<p>414<br \/>\n00:27:31,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:27:34,200<br \/>\nourselves.<br \/>\nBut look what he has here in <\/p>\n<p>415<br \/>\n00:27:34,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:27:37,500<br \/>\nverse 26.<br \/>\nHe said so is the kingdom of <\/p>\n<p>416<br \/>\n00:27:37,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:27:40,500<br \/>\nGod.<br \/>\nAs if a man should cast seed <\/p>\n<p>417<br \/>\n00:27:40,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:27:45,100<br \/>\ninto the ground.<br \/>\nNow look at what the solar does.<\/p>\n<p>418<br \/>\n00:27:45,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:27:50,700<br \/>\nAll he does is cast the seed<br \/>\nverse 27 and should sleep and <\/p>\n<p>419<br \/>\n00:27:50,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:27:54,000<br \/>\nRise night and day and the seed<br \/>\nshould spring and grow up. <\/p>\n<p>420<br \/>\n00:27:54,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:27:59,100<br \/>\nHe knoweth not how for the Earth<br \/>\nbringeth forth fruit of its of <\/p>\n<p>421<br \/>\n00:27:59,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:28:01,800<br \/>\nherself.<br \/>\nFirst the blade that was the <\/p>\n<p>422<br \/>\n00:28:01,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:28:04,400<br \/>\nword.<br \/>\nI was looking for then the year <\/p>\n<p>423<br \/>\n00:28:04,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:28:10,000<br \/>\nafter that the full after that<br \/>\nthe full corn in the ear and <\/p>\n<p>424<br \/>\n00:28:10,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:28:12,200<br \/>\nwhen the fruit is brought forth<br \/>\nimmediately. <\/p>\n<p>425<br \/>\n00:28:12,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:28:15,400<br \/>\nHe put it in the sickle because<br \/>\nthe Harvest is come. <\/p>\n<p>426<br \/>\n00:28:15,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:28:19,300<br \/>\nSo some important addition to<br \/>\nthe parable of the sower here in<\/p>\n<p>427<br \/>\n00:28:19,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:28:23,400<br \/>\nMark&#8217;s gospel because the sower<br \/>\ndoesn&#8217;t control the germination <\/p>\n<p>428<br \/>\n00:28:23,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:28:29,300<br \/>\nand the growth as time passes<br \/>\nthe seed grows in the soil <\/p>\n<p>429<br \/>\n00:28:29,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:28:34,500<br \/>\nwithout the Sowers power.<br \/>\nAnd the sower doesn&#8217;t bring <\/p>\n<p>430<br \/>\n00:28:34,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:28:37,600<br \/>\nabout this transformation and<br \/>\nthe sower doesn&#8217;t bring about <\/p>\n<p>431<br \/>\n00:28:37,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:28:44,600<br \/>\nfruit in anybody else.<br \/>\nWell, we know that to be a <\/p>\n<p>432<br \/>\n00:28:44,608 &#8211;&gt; 00:28:49,400<br \/>\nprincipal of Paul talked about<br \/>\nhow he had planted but Apollo <\/p>\n<p>433<br \/>\n00:28:49,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:28:53,800<br \/>\nsaid watered but God granted the<br \/>\nincrease and we can also know <\/p>\n<p>434<br \/>\n00:28:53,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:28:56,300<br \/>\nthat in our own personal<br \/>\nexperience. <\/p>\n<p>435<br \/>\n00:28:57,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:29:02,100<br \/>\nWe are very poor at being able<br \/>\nto judge what&#8217;s going to <\/p>\n<p>436<br \/>\n00:29:02,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:29:05,900<br \/>\ngerminate and bear fruit.<br \/>\nI can think back over the <\/p>\n<p>437<br \/>\n00:29:06,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:29:11,000<br \/>\nsnappin 21 years since the first<br \/>\nseminar that I was involved with<\/p>\n<p>438<br \/>\n00:29:11,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:29:13,700<br \/>\nand I remember that because I<br \/>\nbroke my leg and Christian had <\/p>\n<p>439<br \/>\n00:29:13,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:29:18,400<br \/>\nto do the seminar in Pomona for<br \/>\nus 21 years have passed and I <\/p>\n<p>440<br \/>\n00:29:18,408 &#8211;&gt; 00:29:22,600<br \/>\nremember from all the people all<br \/>\nthe years how certain I would be<\/p>\n<p>441<br \/>\n00:29:22,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:29:26,600<br \/>\nat times.<br \/>\nThat one&#8217;s the good ground. <\/p>\n<p>442<br \/>\n00:29:27,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:29:30,600<br \/>\nThere is a person who&#8217;s going to<br \/>\nthis is going this person&#8217;s <\/p>\n<p>443<br \/>\n00:29:30,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:29:32,900<br \/>\ngoing to grab onto the gospel.<br \/>\nThey were christadelphians <\/p>\n<p>444<br \/>\n00:29:32,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:29:37,200<br \/>\ndidn&#8217;t even know it and how many<br \/>\ntimes I was wrong. <\/p>\n<p>445<br \/>\n00:29:37,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:29:39,900<br \/>\nIn fact, I&#8217;d have to say almost<br \/>\nmaybe every time I was wrong. <\/p>\n<p>446<br \/>\n00:29:40,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:29:43,500<br \/>\nIt was the person who challenged<br \/>\neverything. <\/p>\n<p>447<br \/>\n00:29:43,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:29:48,200<br \/>\nWe said one person who<br \/>\ntape-recorded it transcribed <\/p>\n<p>448<br \/>\n00:29:48,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:29:51,600<br \/>\neverything and came back and<br \/>\nsaid you said this and I think <\/p>\n<p>449<br \/>\n00:29:51,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:29:53,400<br \/>\nit&#8217;s wrong.<br \/>\nThat was the one that got <\/p>\n<p>450<br \/>\n00:29:53,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:29:56,700<br \/>\nbaptized.<br \/>\nYou know the fact is we don&#8217;t <\/p>\n<p>451<br \/>\n00:29:56,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:30:00,400<br \/>\nknow how this process all<br \/>\nhappens and we don&#8217;t necessarily<\/p>\n<p>452<br \/>\n00:30:00,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:30:06,300<br \/>\nknow how it happens in us.<br \/>\nThe power to transform us is not<\/p>\n<p>453<br \/>\n00:30:06,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:30:09,200<br \/>\nour power.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s the power of our heavenly <\/p>\n<p>454<br \/>\n00:30:09,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:30:13,000<br \/>\nfather and we have to be open to<br \/>\nthe word when we&#8217;re open to the <\/p>\n<p>455<br \/>\n00:30:13,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:30:17,400<br \/>\nword.<br \/>\nIt can penetrate into us and he <\/p>\n<p>456<br \/>\n00:30:17,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:30:21,200<br \/>\nwill make a germinate and he<br \/>\nwill give us the power to bring <\/p>\n<p>457<br \/>\n00:30:21,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:30:29,300<br \/>\nforth fruit, you know parents.<br \/>\nparents can plant and parents <\/p>\n<p>458<br \/>\n00:30:29,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:30:34,000<br \/>\ncan water But our children they<br \/>\nhave to decide for themselves, <\/p>\n<p>459<br \/>\n00:30:34,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:30:38,700<br \/>\nwhether they want to hear and<br \/>\nreceive and bear fruit. <\/p>\n<p>460<br \/>\n00:30:40,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:30:43,400<br \/>\nAnd when we see personal<br \/>\ntransformation in our own lives,<\/p>\n<p>461<br \/>\n00:30:43,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:30:47,200<br \/>\nwe see our minds changing.<br \/>\nWe shouldn&#8217;t view this as being <\/p>\n<p>462<br \/>\n00:30:47,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:30:50,200<br \/>\nOur Own Strength at our own<br \/>\ncapability. <\/p>\n<p>463<br \/>\n00:30:50,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:30:55,200<br \/>\nThe transformational process in<br \/>\nour lives is not by us. <\/p>\n<p>464<br \/>\n00:30:57,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:31:00,300<br \/>\nOr by the person who preached to<br \/>\nus. <\/p>\n<p>465<br \/>\n00:31:01,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:31:05,700<br \/>\nWe are without strength.<br \/>\nBut the power of the master who <\/p>\n<p>466<br \/>\n00:31:05,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:31:09,800<br \/>\nfeeds us he nourishes us and he<br \/>\nbrings about the Harvest. <\/p>\n<p>467<br \/>\n00:31:11,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:31:14,500<br \/>\nSo we really don&#8217;t know why<br \/>\nsometimes or how I should say <\/p>\n<p>468<br \/>\n00:31:14,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:31:18,500<br \/>\nour minds are changed.<br \/>\nHow does the brother who <\/p>\n<p>469<br \/>\n00:31:19,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:31:24,800<br \/>\nirritated me become a person who<br \/>\ndidn&#8217;t really change but becomes<\/p>\n<p>470<br \/>\n00:31:24,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:31:30,100<br \/>\na brother that I love.<br \/>\nForgive myself for now. <\/p>\n<p>471<br \/>\n00:31:30,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:31:32,900<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s a pretty abnormal<br \/>\nprocess. <\/p>\n<p>472<br \/>\n00:31:33,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:31:39,600<br \/>\nBut that is an example of how<br \/>\nour lives change and we bear <\/p>\n<p>473<br \/>\n00:31:39,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:31:42,300<br \/>\nfruit.<br \/>\nHow does the lust of the flesh <\/p>\n<p>474<br \/>\n00:31:42,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:31:45,800<br \/>\nthat earlier in my life might<br \/>\nhave been something that <\/p>\n<p>475<br \/>\n00:31:46,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:31:49,100<br \/>\npenetrated me and seemed<br \/>\ninsurmountable becomes <\/p>\n<p>476<br \/>\n00:31:49,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:31:51,300<br \/>\nsomething.<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s no longer the force that <\/p>\n<p>477<br \/>\n00:31:51,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:31:56,300<br \/>\nit was it&#8217;s unattractive.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s diffused not important to <\/p>\n<p>478<br \/>\n00:31:56,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:31:59,800<br \/>\nme any longer.<br \/>\nSo brothers and sisters, what do<\/p>\n<p>479<br \/>\n00:31:59,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:32:02,200<br \/>\nwe need to do?<br \/>\nWell, just a few last comments <\/p>\n<p>480<br \/>\n00:32:02,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:32:09,500<br \/>\nlike to turn over to First Peter<br \/>\nchapter 2 First Peter chapter 2 <\/p>\n<p>481<br \/>\n00:32:10,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:32:16,600<br \/>\njust one quick verse or two<br \/>\nquick versus will look at verse <\/p>\n<p>482<br \/>\n00:32:16,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:32:21,300<br \/>\n11 and 12 First Peter chapter 2<br \/>\nverses 11 and 12 dearly beloved.<\/p>\n<p>483<br \/>\n00:32:21,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:32:29,300<br \/>\nI beseech you I beseech you as<br \/>\nstrangers and pilgrims abstain <\/p>\n<p>484<br \/>\n00:32:29,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:32:33,100<br \/>\nfrom fleshly lusts.<br \/>\nNow, that sounds like a comment <\/p>\n<p>485<br \/>\n00:32:33,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:32:36,400<br \/>\nthat sounds like a commandment.<br \/>\nJust don&#8217;t do that. <\/p>\n<p>486<br \/>\n00:32:36,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:32:38,700<br \/>\nWell, there&#8217;s a reason we don&#8217;t<br \/>\nDon&#8217;t do that. <\/p>\n<p>487<br \/>\n00:32:38,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:32:42,200<br \/>\nWhy because they war against the<br \/>\nsoul. <\/p>\n<p>488<br \/>\n00:32:43,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:32:46,000<br \/>\nSo let&#8217;s go back to our parable<br \/>\nof the sower. <\/p>\n<p>489<br \/>\n00:32:46,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:32:51,000<br \/>\nDo you think it&#8217;s possible for<br \/>\nyou and me to be involved in the<\/p>\n<p>490<br \/>\n00:32:51,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:32:55,700<br \/>\nthings of the flesh to have an<br \/>\nactivity in those things and to <\/p>\n<p>491<br \/>\n00:32:55,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:32:58,100<br \/>\nexpect that we&#8217;re going to be<br \/>\nbearing fruit. <\/p>\n<p>492<br \/>\n00:32:58,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:33:01,500<br \/>\nThere is a war going on in the<br \/>\nmind of a person who&#8217;s <\/p>\n<p>493<br \/>\n00:33:01,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:33:04,100<br \/>\nparticipating in the lust of the<br \/>\nflesh. <\/p>\n<p>494<br \/>\n00:33:04,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:33:07,900<br \/>\nSo one of the first things that<br \/>\nwe can do is choose Holiness <\/p>\n<p>495<br \/>\n00:33:08,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:33:13,100<br \/>\nchoose not to be having mines<br \/>\nwhich are corrupted by the <\/p>\n<p>496<br \/>\n00:33:13,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:33:17,200<br \/>\nThings of the flesh.<br \/>\nThe next thing of course is <\/p>\n<p>497<br \/>\n00:33:17,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:33:20,500<br \/>\nself-examination.<br \/>\nI would suggest that&#8217;s probably <\/p>\n<p>498<br \/>\n00:33:20,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:33:24,100<br \/>\nthe first thing that we see<br \/>\nbreaks down when we go off when <\/p>\n<p>499<br \/>\n00:33:24,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:33:29,300<br \/>\nwe become impenetrable when we<br \/>\nhave Stony ground in our heart. <\/p>\n<p>500<br \/>\n00:33:29,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:33:32,700<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s because we stopped<br \/>\nexamining ourselves and looking <\/p>\n<p>501<br \/>\n00:33:32,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:33:36,000<br \/>\ninside.<br \/>\nWe need to work to remove the <\/p>\n<p>502<br \/>\n00:33:36,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:33:40,500<br \/>\nthorns.<br \/>\nYou know Solomon in the fourth <\/p>\n<p>503<br \/>\n00:33:40,500 &#8211;&gt;
