\nThank you so much for joining us<\/p>\n

3
\n00:00:18,100 –> 00:00:22,800
\nthis week on this podcast.
\nWe select one taco week to help <\/p>\n

4
\n00:00:22,900 –> 00:00:26,600
\neach one of us get the Bible in
\nour daily news feed. <\/p>\n

5
\n00:00:27,500 –> 00:00:29,600
\nWe post at the start of each
\nweek for you to listen. <\/p>\n

6
\n00:00:30,000 –> 00:00:32,500
\nWith a short intro before hand
\nto kind of set the stage for the<\/p>\n

7
\n00:00:32,500 –> 00:00:34,300
\ntalk.
\nYou’re about to hear and now <\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:34,300 –> 00:00:35,800
\nlet’s hear more about this
\nweek’s talk. <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:44,300 –> 00:00:46,600
\nI talked this week is an
\nexcitation that was given by <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:46,600 –> 00:00:49,700
\nBrother David Jennings back in
\n2015 at the Verdugo Hills <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:49,700 –> 00:00:52,600
\nEcclesia and is actually a
\nsuggestion that was given to me <\/p>\n

12
\n00:00:52,600 –> 00:00:57,400
\nby my wife who remembered the
\nexportation and kind of gave me <\/p>\n

13
\n00:00:57,400 –> 00:00:59,400
\nthe challenge to go into the
\nVerdugo Hills website and go <\/p>\n

14
\n00:00:59,400 –> 00:01:03,600
\nspelunking back to find when
\nexactly this expectation was <\/p>\n

15
\n00:01:03,600 –> 00:01:07,300
\ngiven and I remember it live as
\nwell when I when I heard it and <\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:07,300 –> 00:01:10,300
\nit was it was a really really
\nawesome one and without giving <\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:10,300 –> 00:01:13,900
\naway too many of the secrets
\nthat Brother David gave in his <\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:14,100 –> 00:01:18,100
\nRotation, he takes the parable
\nof the sower for his expectation<\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:18,100 –> 00:01:21,000
\nand kind of goes that next level
\non it really kind of digs into <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:21,000 –> 00:01:24,700
\nit and finds a way to take it
\nfrom Beyond being something <\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:24,700 –> 00:01:27,700
\nwhere you look at it preaching
\nabout the the ground and the <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:27,700 –> 00:01:33,200
\nseed something that is much more
\napplicable to us in our in our <\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:33,200 –> 00:01:35,200
\nwalk.
\nThis is an example of one of my <\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:35,200 –> 00:01:39,200
\nfavorite types of Bible study
\nwhere the the brother takes a <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:39,200 –> 00:01:42,700
\ntopic or something that we all
\nknow super well, you know, the <\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:42,800 –> 00:01:45,200
\nthe parable of the sower is
\nsomething that we have heard <\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:45,400 –> 00:01:47,800
\nmany times that we studied when
\nwe were in Sunday school. <\/p>\n

28
\n00:01:47,900 –> 00:01:52,400
\nMost of us almost could recite
\nthe essential like the cliff <\/p>\n

29
\n00:01:52,400 –> 00:01:57,300
\nnotes of the parable by heart,
\nbut he takes it one level deeper<\/p>\n

30
\n00:01:57,300 –> 00:02:00,100
\nand finds a whole bunch of new
\nmeaning that is just is really <\/p>\n

31
\n00:02:00,100 –> 00:02:03,200
\nreally cool to listen to and
\nreally really good to hear <\/p>\n

32
\n00:02:03,400 –> 00:02:06,100
\nreally excited to share this one
\nwith you. <\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:06,400 –> 00:02:07,700
\nThank you for all the positive
\nfeedback. <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:07,700 –> 00:02:11,500
\nWe got from our 52nd episode the
\nmark one year was super exciting<\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:11,500 –> 00:02:15,200
\nto hear everybody.
\nIt’s been Incredible for the <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:15,200 –> 00:02:18,100
\nresponse that we’ve gotten in,
\nyou know to God for blessing <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:18,100 –> 00:02:20,000
\nthis effort.
\nIt’s been it’s been amazing. <\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:20,800 –> 00:02:25,000
\nIf you have any suggestions,
\nplease feel free to continue to <\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:25,008 –> 00:02:26,500
\nsend it in.
\nWe actually had somebody reach <\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:26,500 –> 00:02:29,200
\nout to us with specific
\nexpectations and giving us the <\/p>\n

41
\n00:02:29,200 –> 00:02:31,000
\ninformation for their occlusal
\nwebsites. <\/p>\n

42
\n00:02:31,000 –> 00:02:33,700
\nWe could find even more
\nexpectations and talks that were<\/p>\n

43
\n00:02:33,708 –> 00:02:35,400
\ngiven that that we could share
\nwith everyone. <\/p>\n

44
\n00:02:35,400 –> 00:02:38,900
\nSo it’s very much appreciated.

53
\n00:03:03,900 –> 00:03:05,800
\nlisten to and kind of refocus
\nyou for the day. <\/p>\n

54
\n00:03:05,900 –> 00:03:08,600
\nSo with that we’ll turn it over
\nto Brother David Jennings for <\/p>\n

55
\n00:03:08,600 –> 00:03:13,700
\nhis excitation on the sower.
\nToday, I’m going to try to talk <\/p>\n

56
\n00:03:13,700 –> 00:03:17,900
\nabout something that well, I
\nsuppose many of us probably have<\/p>\n

57
\n00:03:17,900 –> 00:03:20,800
\nfelt that we’ve understood for
\nmany years, which is a parable <\/p>\n

58
\n00:03:20,800 –> 00:03:24,300
\nof the sower.
\nWell we do but there’s all kinds<\/p>\n

59
\n00:03:24,300 –> 00:03:26,400
\nof levels to the parable of the
\nsower. <\/p>\n

60
\n00:03:26,400 –> 00:03:29,400
\nAnd so we’re going to take a
\nlook at that in a few moments <\/p>\n

61
\n00:03:30,500 –> 00:03:34,300
\none of the beauties of this part
\nof Jesus’s life. <\/p>\n

62
\n00:03:35,700 –> 00:03:41,600
\nThings are occurring, you know
\nback in the Jerusalem area John <\/p>\n

63
\n00:03:41,600 –> 00:03:46,200
\nthe Baptist pretty soon here
\nwill be put in prison. <\/p>\n

64
\n00:03:47,100 –> 00:03:50,800
\nA lot of the freedom that Jesus
\nis feeling right now here in <\/p>\n

65
\n00:03:50,800 –> 00:03:55,800
\nGalilee is allowing him not only
\nto heal people and we have this <\/p>\n

66
\n00:03:55,800 –> 00:03:59,200
\nbeautiful picture of people
\ncoming from all lands because <\/p>\n

67
\n00:03:59,200 –> 00:04:03,400
\nthey hear that there is a
\nteacher who has the ability to <\/p>\n

68
\n00:04:03,400 –> 00:04:05,400
\nheal and they come from all
\nover. <\/p>\n

69
\n00:04:05,600 –> 00:04:10,400
\nFrom I do Mia from from
\nJerusalem from Jordan Tyre sidon<\/p>\n

70
\n00:04:10,600 –> 00:04:14,500
\ngreat multitudes and they came
\nwith the idea that they could be<\/p>\n

71
\n00:04:14,500 –> 00:04:18,200
\nhealed.
\nBut of course the principle I <\/p>\n

72
\n00:04:18,200 –> 00:04:22,800
\nsuppose we should all remember.
\nIs that really what heals us is <\/p>\n

73
\n00:04:22,800 –> 00:04:26,300
\nin fact the word of God and when
\nwe get to chapter 4, this is <\/p>\n

74
\n00:04:26,300 –> 00:04:28,300
\nexactly what Jesus is going to
\ndo. <\/p>\n

75
\n00:04:28,300 –> 00:04:32,700
\nHe’s going to begin to heal not
\nthe maladies that they have that<\/p>\n

76
\n00:04:32,700 –> 00:04:35,400
\nwere associated with perhaps
\nskin. <\/p>\n

77
\n00:04:35,500 –> 00:04:39,100
\nCeases and perhaps limbs that
\nweren’t working as they showed <\/p>\n

78
\n00:04:39,100 –> 00:04:43,100
\nor ears that didn’t hear or
\ntongues of couldn’t speak or <\/p>\n

79
\n00:04:43,100 –> 00:04:46,900
\nIsaac couldn’t see he was going
\nto heal minds and the way he was<\/p>\n

80
\n00:04:46,900 –> 00:04:48,700
\ngoing to do that was with his
\nwords. <\/p>\n

81
\n00:04:49,500 –> 00:04:52,600
\nAnother thing that’s kind of
\nimportant for us to state is <\/p>\n

82
\n00:04:52,600 –> 00:04:55,800
\nthat I think it’s got important
\nimpact for us today. <\/p>\n

83
\n00:04:56,500 –> 00:05:01,100
\nJesus was preaching the kingdom
\nof God in the gospel of Matthew <\/p>\n

84
\n00:05:01,100 –> 00:05:03,900
\nthat we completed.
\nThere is a phrase that only <\/p>\n

85
\n00:05:03,900 –> 00:05:05,400
\noccurs in the in the gospel of
\nMatthew. <\/p>\n

86
\n00:05:05,600 –> 00:05:09,400
\nMatthew and that’s the Kingdom
\nof Heaven Jesus said the Kingdom<\/p>\n

87
\n00:05:09,400 –> 00:05:13,200
\nof Heaven is at hand pray that
\nye enter into the Kingdom of <\/p>\n

88
\n00:05:13,200 –> 00:05:19,000
\nHeaven and the message was and
\nstill is not only that there is <\/p>\n

89
\n00:05:19,000 –> 00:05:22,900
\na kingdom to come where Jesus is
\ngoing to Reign on the earth and <\/p>\n

90
\n00:05:22,900 –> 00:05:25,700
\nset up a world light white
\nKingdom that is going to <\/p>\n

91
\n00:05:25,700 –> 00:05:29,500
\nfundamentally change this world.
\nThat’s what we look forward to <\/p>\n

92
\n00:05:29,500 –> 00:05:32,900
\nand frankly.
\nThat’s what we preach right, but<\/p>\n

93
\n00:05:32,900 –> 00:05:35,400
\nthere’s another message which is
\nthe kingdom of heaven and that <\/p>\n

94
\n00:05:35,500 –> 00:05:38,500
\nit is a kingdom that we can
\nparticipate in right now. <\/p>\n

95
\n00:05:39,500 –> 00:05:43,200
\nI have fuel at times looking
\nback in times that I’ve talked <\/p>\n

96
\n00:05:43,200 –> 00:05:45,800
\nto people about the truth.
\nI probably have it emphasized <\/p>\n

97
\n00:05:45,800 –> 00:05:50,000
\nthat as much as I should the
\nfact is is that we’re called <\/p>\n

98
\n00:05:50,000 –> 00:05:53,400
\nright now to be in the Kingdom
\nof Heaven to be under the laws <\/p>\n

99
\n00:05:54,300 –> 00:05:59,100
\nto be under the precepts that
\ncontrol of the Lord in heaven. <\/p>\n

100
\n00:06:00,400 –> 00:06:04,000
\nWe are called ambassadors for
\nChrist by the Apostle Paul. <\/p>\n

101
\n00:06:04,800 –> 00:06:06,900
\nWhat does that mean?
\nWell, it means that we’re in it.<\/p>\n

102
\n00:06:06,900 –> 00:06:09,600
\nWe’re in a country.
\nWhere in a And wherever Nation <\/p>\n

103
\n00:06:09,600 –> 00:06:14,800
\nwe might be but the laws that we
\nrepresent and the King that we <\/p>\n

104
\n00:06:14,800 –> 00:06:18,400
\nrepresent isn’t the one that
\nwere in the middle of something.<\/p>\n

105
\n00:06:18,400 –> 00:06:21,300
\nWe should all remember when we
\nget confused about whether we <\/p>\n

106
\n00:06:21,300 –> 00:06:23,400
\nshould be involved in the
\npolitical structure of the <\/p>\n

107
\n00:06:23,400 –> 00:06:25,200
\nworld.
\nWe’re not part of that. <\/p>\n

108
\n00:06:25,200 –> 00:06:29,100
\nWe are ambassadors for Christ.
\nAnd that was the message that <\/p>\n

109
\n00:06:29,100 –> 00:06:32,700
\nJesus was preaching to these
\npeople is that look it’s not <\/p>\n

110
\n00:06:32,700 –> 00:06:36,900
\nonly that there will be a
\nkingdom of God on Earth which <\/p>\n

111
\n00:06:36,900 –> 00:06:38,700
\nwill fundamentally change
\nthings. <\/p>\n

112
\n00:06:38,900 –> 00:06:40,900
\nWhere Jesus will be king over
\nthe Earth. <\/p>\n

113
\n00:06:41,100 –> 00:06:43,900
\nYou can be part of this Kingdom
\nright now. <\/p>\n

114
\n00:06:44,800 –> 00:06:48,500
\nYour life can be changed your
\nheart can be healed. <\/p>\n

115
\n00:06:48,700 –> 00:06:52,900
\nYou can experience and
\nparticipate in something that <\/p>\n

116
\n00:06:52,900 –> 00:06:56,100
\nyou never would have before and
\nthis is what John the Baptist <\/p>\n

117
\n00:06:56,100 –> 00:06:58,000
\ntalked about.
\nIsn’t it that they’re in <\/p>\n

118
\n00:06:58,000 –> 00:06:59,900
\ndarkness.
\nThere was a great light that he <\/p>\n

119
\n00:06:59,900 –> 00:07:03,900
\nwas bringing about and that
\ngreat light was the opening up <\/p>\n

120
\n00:07:03,900 –> 00:07:08,400
\nof the hope of the Gospel the
\nability for people to now walk <\/p>\n

121
\n00:07:08,400 –> 00:07:11,100
\nin.
\nLight and not in darkness and I <\/p>\n

122
\n00:07:11,100 –> 00:07:13,600
\nsuppose sometimes in our own
\npreaching we ought to remember <\/p>\n

123
\n00:07:13,600 –> 00:07:17,700
\nthis that you know, people are
\nlooking for a kingdom of God on <\/p>\n

124
\n00:07:17,700 –> 00:07:20,600
\nEarth with Jesus coming back.
\nWell, they’re not really looking<\/p>\n

125
\n00:07:20,600 –> 00:07:23,700
\nfor because they don’t know
\nabout it enough, but we preach <\/p>\n

126
\n00:07:23,700 –> 00:07:25,700
\nthat to them and that’s a
\nwonderful thing. <\/p>\n

127
\n00:07:25,700 –> 00:07:28,000
\nIt’s the thing that transcends
\neverything. <\/p>\n

128
\n00:07:29,400 –> 00:07:33,200
\nBut a big message is that lives
\nare changed right now. <\/p>\n

129
\n00:07:34,200 –> 00:07:39,200
\nRight now the we can be changed
\nthat the heart that we have <\/p>\n

130
\n00:07:40,100 –> 00:07:44,200
\nwhich sometimes might be
\nimpenetrable can open up. <\/p>\n

131
\n00:07:45,400 –> 00:07:50,100
\nThat it can sink into our hearts
\nwhen we hear it and then it can <\/p>\n

132
\n00:07:50,100 –> 00:07:53,300
\nbring forth.
\nYou can bring forth fruit. <\/p>\n

133
\n00:07:53,900 –> 00:07:56,300
\nAnd that’s the message of the
\nparable of the sower. <\/p>\n

134
\n00:07:56,400 –> 00:08:00,000
\nSo let’s take a look at what he
\nsays in Mark chapter 4 beginning<\/p>\n

135
\n00:08:00,000 –> 00:08:04,400
\nat verse 1.
\nHe began again to teach by the <\/p>\n

136
\n00:08:04,400 –> 00:08:09,800
\nwayside and there was gathered
\nunto him a great multitude so <\/p>\n

137
\n00:08:09,800 –> 00:08:14,000
\nthat he entered into a ship and
\nsat in the sea and the whole <\/p>\n

138
\n00:08:14,000 –> 00:08:17,800
\nmultitude was buy the land on
\nthe seeds kind of a when you <\/p>\n

139
\n00:08:17,800 –> 00:08:21,000
\nthink about this picture.
\nIt was such a throng that was <\/p>\n

140
\n00:08:21,000 –> 00:08:24,300
\nhappening against him that they
\nactually had to launch out on a <\/p>\n

141
\n00:08:24,300 –> 00:08:28,800
\nboat to keep a barrier between
\nthem and the preaching and Jesus<\/p>\n

142
\n00:08:28,800 –> 00:08:32,200
\nfrom this boat is now going to
\nteach them and it says, In verse<\/p>\n

143
\n00:08:32,200 –> 00:08:34,700
\n2.
\nHe taught them many things by <\/p>\n

144
\n00:08:34,700 –> 00:08:40,000
\nParables and said unto them his
\nand said unto them in his <\/p>\n

145
\n00:08:40,000 –> 00:08:44,900
\nDoctrine.
\nSo Jesus mission was not just to<\/p>\n

146
\n00:08:44,900 –> 00:08:48,600
\ncome and to heal physical
\nmaladies. <\/p>\n

147
\n00:08:48,900 –> 00:08:53,300
\nHis mission was to bring to them
\nDoctrine which allowed them to <\/p>\n

148
\n00:08:53,300 –> 00:08:57,100
\nenter into the kingdom of heaven
\nand to be able to change their <\/p>\n

149
\n00:08:57,100 –> 00:09:01,400
\nlives right now.
\nSo that’s the entry now we have <\/p>\n

150
\n00:09:01,400 –> 00:09:05,900
\ninto the parable of the sower.
\nJesus says in verse 3 Harkin <\/p>\n

151
\n00:09:06,500 –> 00:09:09,500
\nbehold there went out A sower to
\nso and it came to pass as he <\/p>\n

152
\n00:09:09,500 –> 00:09:13,400
\nsowed some fell by the way side
\nand the fowls of the air came <\/p>\n

153
\n00:09:13,400 –> 00:09:18,200
\nand devoured it up and some fell
\non Stony ground where I had not <\/p>\n

154
\n00:09:18,200 –> 00:09:21,800
\nmuch Earth and immediately it
\nsprang up because it had no <\/p>\n

155
\n00:09:21,800 –> 00:09:25,700
\ndepth of Earth.
\nBut when the sun was up it was <\/p>\n

156
\n00:09:25,700 –> 00:09:30,300
\nscorched and because it had no
\nroot it withered away and some <\/p>\n

157
\n00:09:30,300 –> 00:09:34,300
\nfell among thorns and the Thorns
\ngrew up and choked it and you <\/p>\n

158
\n00:09:34,300 –> 00:09:38,800
\nand it yielded no fruit and
\nother fell on good ground and <\/p>\n

159
\n00:09:38,800 –> 00:09:44,500
\ndid yield fruit that sprang up
\nand increased and brought forth <\/p>\n

160
\n00:09:44,500 –> 00:09:49,400
\nsome 30 some 60 and some and
\nhundred. <\/p>\n

161
\n00:09:50,400 –> 00:09:55,200
\nHe that hath ears to hear Let
\nHim hear now brothers and <\/p>\n

162
\n00:09:55,200 –> 00:09:59,000
\nsisters the Lord in this
\nparticular Parable describes to <\/p>\n

163
\n00:09:59,000 –> 00:10:02,600
\nhis disciples what the parable
\nis about. <\/p>\n

164
\n00:10:03,100 –> 00:10:05,700
\nBut let’s just for a moment kind
\nof do a little bit of a <\/p>\n

165
\n00:10:05,708 –> 00:10:08,900
\ndissection of what’s being said
\nhere and see if it perhaps helps<\/p>\n

166
\n00:10:08,900 –> 00:10:11,900
\nus a little bit to understand
\nwhat’s being said because <\/p>\n

167
\n00:10:12,300 –> 00:10:15,800
\nundoubtedly and the way I
\nsuppose I spent my first 60 <\/p>\n

168
\n00:10:15,800 –> 00:10:19,500
\nyears thinking about this was
\nthis is talking about groups of <\/p>\n

169
\n00:10:19,600 –> 00:10:24,100
\nof people groups of people.
\nSome of them are like, you know,<\/p>\n

170
\n00:10:24,100 –> 00:10:29,100
\nthe hard pan dirt and some of
\nthem are perhaps like, you know,<\/p>\n

171
\n00:10:29,100 –> 00:10:33,100
\nthe rocky ground and some have
\ngood ground, but you know, <\/p>\n

172
\n00:10:33,100 –> 00:10:35,800
\nwhenever things get tough what
\nhappens is what we see that the <\/p>\n

173
\n00:10:35,800 –> 00:10:38,500
\nworld chokes them and they can’t
\nproduce fruit and then finally <\/p>\n

174
\n00:10:38,500 –> 00:10:40,700
\nthe good ground that’s four
\ncategories of people. <\/p>\n

175
\n00:10:41,300 –> 00:10:43,000
\nThat’s the way I used to always
\nthink about it. <\/p>\n

176
\n00:10:44,800 –> 00:10:47,900
\nBut then I realized here that
\nJesus is talking to his <\/p>\n

177
\n00:10:47,900 –> 00:10:52,900
\ndisciples whenever he is talking
\nto those who had here ears to <\/p>\n

178
\n00:10:52,900 –> 00:10:56,800
\nhear and he says that it’s given
\nto them to understand the <\/p>\n

179
\n00:10:56,800 –> 00:10:59,200
\nmystery.
\nSo I would suggest to you that <\/p>\n

180
\n00:10:59,200 –> 00:11:03,000
\nwhile that may be the case.
\nThere are people where the word <\/p>\n

181
\n00:11:03,000 –> 00:11:08,000
\njust bounces off of them and
\nthere are those who perhaps it <\/p>\n

182
\n00:11:08,000 –> 00:11:12,000
\nhas a small germination but goes
\nnarrow nowhere and others who it<\/p>\n

183
\n00:11:12,000 –> 00:11:16,300
\nappears.
\nIt is a Full-fledged plant, but <\/p>\n

184
\n00:11:16,300 –> 00:11:19,000
\ndoesn’t have any fruit and then
\nfinally good ground that those <\/p>\n

185
\n00:11:19,000 –> 00:11:23,900
\nare four categories we could see
\nin people but because it’s <\/p>\n

186
\n00:11:23,900 –> 00:11:27,600
\nreally spoken to us.
\nI’d like to suggest it’s really <\/p>\n

187
\n00:11:27,600 –> 00:11:32,000
\nabout our own Hearts every one
\nof us. <\/p>\n

188
\n00:11:33,000 –> 00:11:37,900
\nUnfortunately can relate to
\nthese four conditions. <\/p>\n

189
\n00:11:38,600 –> 00:11:41,000
\nNow before we jump into that.
\nLet’s talk about the sower. <\/p>\n

190
\n00:11:42,200 –> 00:11:47,100
\nNow if this was a parable to
\ntalk about good sewing you would<\/p>\n

191
\n00:11:47,100 –> 00:11:49,300
\nsay this is not a very good
\nsower. <\/p>\n

192
\n00:11:49,300 –> 00:11:53,900
\nIs it indiscriminate throwing of
\nseed everywhere? <\/p>\n

193
\n00:11:54,500 –> 00:11:57,400
\nYou know, if you’ve ever had to
\nput seed in your yard, there’s <\/p>\n

194
\n00:11:57,400 –> 00:11:59,800
\nplaces.
\nYou don’t want the grass to grow<\/p>\n

195
\n00:12:00,400 –> 00:12:03,800
\nand you don’t put seed there
\nright you Carefully Mark those <\/p>\n

196
\n00:12:03,800 –> 00:12:07,000
\nthings out and when you get to
\nthose edges, you’re very careful<\/p>\n

197
\n00:12:07,000 –> 00:12:10,000
\nwhen you put the seat down to
\nmake sure that it doesn’t spill <\/p>\n

198
\n00:12:10,000 –> 00:12:15,500
\nover into the other area.
\nSo what’s wrong with this sword?<\/p>\n

199
\n00:12:16,900 –> 00:12:19,900
\nWell, I think the message here
\nis important for us. <\/p>\n

200
\n00:12:20,600 –> 00:12:23,400
\nThe seed is indiscriminately
\nbeing sown. <\/p>\n

201
\n00:12:23,400 –> 00:12:28,000
\nAnd the reason it’s being sown
\nthat way is because the message <\/p>\n

202
\n00:12:28,000 –> 00:12:33,700
\nis to get the gospel message out
\nto everybody all places at all <\/p>\n

203
\n00:12:33,700 –> 00:12:39,400
\ntimes and it also means that in
\nour lives we’re going to see <\/p>\n

204
\n00:12:39,400 –> 00:12:42,900
\nthat the message is going to be
\nhitting us and it’s all about <\/p>\n

205
\n00:12:42,900 –> 00:12:47,800
\nhow we are going to receive it.
\nNow you can make a whole <\/p>\n

206
\n00:12:47,800 –> 00:12:50,300
\nexhortation about this issue
\nabout preaching. <\/p>\n

207
\n00:12:53,100 –> 00:12:56,100
\nI suppose that you could say you
\ncould make a case that <\/p>\n

208
\n00:12:56,400 –> 00:13:00,500
\nchristadelphians historically we
\nlike to preach to people just <\/p>\n

209
\n00:13:00,500 –> 00:13:05,600
\nlike ourselves people from the
\nsame socio-economic groups that <\/p>\n

210
\n00:13:05,600 –> 00:13:08,600
\nhave the same level of Education
\nEtc. <\/p>\n

211
\n00:13:09,100 –> 00:13:11,300
\nBut that’s not the message of
\nthe solar the message of the <\/p>\n

212
\n00:13:11,300 –> 00:13:15,500
\nsower is don’t go around trying
\nto figure out who’s going to <\/p>\n

213
\n00:13:15,508 –> 00:13:17,600
\nrespond.
\nDon’t go saying. <\/p>\n

214
\n00:13:17,600 –> 00:13:20,700
\nWell, I’m going to go to this
\narea they’re poor and their have<\/p>\n

215
\n00:13:20,700 –> 00:13:24,500
\na difficult time with life.
\nListen at the expense of going <\/p>\n

216
\n00:13:24,500 –> 00:13:27,500
\nto somebody else.
\nThe message is distribute the <\/p>\n

217
\n00:13:27,500 –> 00:13:31,300
\nseed everywhere.
\nWe don’t know where the good <\/p>\n

218
\n00:13:31,300 –> 00:13:36,300
\nsoil is.
\nSo this parable about these this<\/p>\n

219
\n00:13:36,300 –> 00:13:39,000
\nthe parable of the sower
\nundoubtedly applies to groups of<\/p>\n

220
\n00:13:39,000 –> 00:13:43,100
\npeople but we ourselves and the
\ndisciples that he speak into our<\/p>\n

221
\n00:13:43,100 –> 00:13:46,600
\nnever asked to judge.
\nWe’re never asked to put a group<\/p>\n

222
\n00:13:46,600 –> 00:13:52,000
\nof people and say oh He’s from
\nthe Stony ground or that person <\/p>\n

223
\n00:13:52,000 –> 00:13:54,600
\nover there.
\nWe preach the truth from there. <\/p>\n

224
\n00:13:54,600 –> 00:13:59,600
\nThey must be like the Wayside or
\nthere is a person over here all <\/p>\n

225
\n00:13:59,600 –> 00:14:02,300
\ntheir life.
\nThey’re in the Ecclesia and they<\/p>\n

226
\n00:14:02,300 –> 00:14:06,300
\nnever bore fruit never changed.
\nNow, that must be the one that <\/p>\n

227
\n00:14:06,300 –> 00:14:09,600
\nhad the Throne of the Thorns.
\nOf course, we put ourselves in <\/p>\n

228
\n00:14:09,600 –> 00:14:13,100
\nthat good ground, right, you
\nknow, we’re never asked to do <\/p>\n

229
\n00:14:13,100 –> 00:14:16,400
\nthat and the disciples were
\nnever asked to do that. <\/p>\n

230
\n00:14:16,900 –> 00:14:21,100
\nSo it must Have to do with
\nsomething that we are asked to <\/p>\n

231
\n00:14:21,100 –> 00:14:23,500
\ndo and that is to judge our own
\nHearts. <\/p>\n

232
\n00:14:24,700 –> 00:14:28,300
\nSo sadly we can see people in
\nthese categories and they can <\/p>\n

233
\n00:14:28,300 –> 00:14:32,200
\nalert us to the threats but the
\nreal message is to those who <\/p>\n

234
\n00:14:32,200 –> 00:14:39,700
\nhear What are my personal
\nvulnerabilities in what ways is <\/p>\n

235
\n00:14:39,700 –> 00:14:45,900
\nthe word of God coming to me,
\nbut it’s not penetrating or it’s<\/p>\n

236
\n00:14:45,900 –> 00:14:49,700
\nnot thriving or it’s not bearing
\nfruit. <\/p>\n

237
\n00:14:50,700 –> 00:14:54,300
\nAnd where is my faith fainting
\nwith and without root? <\/p>\n

238
\n00:14:54,400 –> 00:14:56,300
\nAnd how is this world’s
\ninfluence? <\/p>\n

239
\n00:14:56,300 –> 00:14:59,900
\nPossibly choking me and keeping
\nme from bearing fruit. <\/p>\n

240
\n00:15:00,800 –> 00:15:05,400
\nAnd if I am the good ground, can
\nI examine my own heart and begin<\/p>\n

241
\n00:15:05,400 –> 00:15:10,500
\nto see change so that instead of
\nbearing The Works of the flesh? <\/p>\n

242
\n00:15:11,100 –> 00:15:13,900
\nI can see that in my life.
\nI’m beginning to think with a <\/p>\n

243
\n00:15:13,900 –> 00:15:17,400
\ndifferent mind and the natural
\nthings that are emitting from my<\/p>\n

244
\n00:15:17,400 –> 00:15:20,500
\nmy life.
\nThe things that are my behaviors<\/p>\n

245
\n00:15:20,700 –> 00:15:23,600
\nindeed are the fruit of the
\nspirit. <\/p>\n

246
\n00:15:24,500 –> 00:15:28,800
\nSo let’s talk about this first
\ngroup where we have the idea of <\/p>\n

247
\n00:15:28,800 –> 00:15:32,100
\nthe sower.
\nHe’s sewing by the wayside in <\/p>\n

248
\n00:15:32,100 –> 00:15:36,300
\nverse 4 and the fowls of the air
\ncame and devoured it up. <\/p>\n

249
\n00:15:37,000 –> 00:15:39,700
\nSo what do we have to say about
\nthe first of all there’s <\/p>\n

250
\n00:15:39,700 –> 00:15:46,100
\nabsolutely zero germination in
\nother words the seeds there, but<\/p>\n

251
\n00:15:46,100 –> 00:15:51,600
\nthe soil is so hard, you know,
\nthe Wayside the word Wayside is <\/p>\n

252
\n00:15:51,600 –> 00:15:57,400
\nused in the NIV and the ESV.
\nThe JB Phillips says the the <\/p>\n

253
\n00:15:57,400 –> 00:16:00,100
\nroadside and I think that gives
\nyou an idea, you know. <\/p>\n

254
\n00:16:00,400 –> 00:16:04,800
\nIf you go to a path that’s
\nconstantly being walked on it is<\/p>\n

255
\n00:16:04,800 –> 00:16:08,000
\nso hard that water doesn’t even
\npenetrate on it. <\/p>\n

256
\n00:16:08,100 –> 00:16:12,900
\nIt just kind of runs off of it
\nand I suppose that a hardened <\/p>\n

257
\n00:16:12,900 –> 00:16:15,600
\nsurface like this which is
\nbeaten down. <\/p>\n

258
\n00:16:15,900 –> 00:16:19,900
\nThere is no porosity what
\nhappens to the seed gets there <\/p>\n

259
\n00:16:19,900 –> 00:16:23,800
\nand it sits on it, but it just
\nsits there and goes nowhere. <\/p>\n

260
\n00:16:25,300 –> 00:16:30,900
\nJust doesn’t go anywhere.
\nIn fact, it says the fouls come <\/p>\n

261
\n00:16:30,900 –> 00:16:35,200
\nand they devoured or maybe the
\nelapse of time takes it away and<\/p>\n

262
\n00:16:35,200 –> 00:16:39,700
\nthe soil it just looks the same
\nSunday after Sunday exhortation <\/p>\n

263
\n00:16:39,700 –> 00:16:46,200
\nafter exhortation.
\nIt doesn’t penetrate. maybe I <\/p>\n

264
\n00:16:48,200 –> 00:16:51,800
\nmaybe I have a problem in my
\nheart with a brother. <\/p>\n

265
\n00:16:53,800 –> 00:16:57,100
\nAnd I hear the exhortation
\nencouraging me to forgive. <\/p>\n

266
\n00:16:58,000 –> 00:17:02,000
\nI read the word of God
\nencouraging me and exhorting me <\/p>\n

267
\n00:17:02,000 –> 00:17:09,900
\nthat love is the It’s it is what
\nexudes from the the fruit of the<\/p>\n

268
\n00:17:09,900 –> 00:17:15,800
\nspirit it is how we can tell if
\nindeed we are disciples and yet.<\/p>\n

269
\n00:17:17,200 –> 00:17:22,700
\nI have a hard in penetrate heart
\nor maybe there’s please for <\/p>\n

270
\n00:17:23,000 –> 00:17:24,900
\nfurther engagement in the
\nEcclesia. <\/p>\n

271
\n00:17:24,900 –> 00:17:28,200
\nWe need to go and do more.
\nWe need more helpers. <\/p>\n

272
\n00:17:28,200 –> 00:17:32,700
\nWe need more hands and it seems
\nlike it just lays on that <\/p>\n

273
\n00:17:32,700 –> 00:17:35,800
\nsurface and the birds come and
\ntake it away. <\/p>\n

274
\n00:17:37,400 –> 00:17:42,000
\nWhat happens when we have hard
\nimpenetrable surfaces when the <\/p>\n

275
\n00:17:42,000 –> 00:17:46,400
\nseed lands on it, but it doesn’t
\npenetrate is that <\/p>\n

276
\n00:17:46,500 –> 00:17:51,700
\nself-examination is broken.
\nI’m not looking inside my heart.<\/p>\n

277
\n00:17:52,800 –> 00:17:58,200
\nI’m not I’m not thinking about
\nwhat do I need to do with this <\/p>\n

278
\n00:17:58,200 –> 00:18:01,100
\nword?
\nI’m not challenging my behavior <\/p>\n

279
\n00:18:01,100 –> 00:18:05,900
\nin the way that I think and when
\nthat happens, what I would liken<\/p>\n

280
\n00:18:05,900 –> 00:18:11,400
\nmyself to is the Wayside the
\nwords hitting but it’s running <\/p>\n

281
\n00:18:11,400 –> 00:18:13,200
\nright off.
\nIt’s not going anywhere. <\/p>\n

282
\n00:18:13,800 –> 00:18:16,900
\nThat’s a threat.
\nLet’s go on to the next one, <\/p>\n

283
\n00:18:16,900 –> 00:18:20,800
\nwhich is Stony ground.
\nNow Stony ground is when we hear<\/p>\n

284
\n00:18:20,800 –> 00:18:24,700
\nthe message.
\nAnd we see the need to change <\/p>\n

285
\n00:18:25,600 –> 00:18:29,100
\nand maybe we even begin to
\nchange and we might even see <\/p>\n

286
\n00:18:29,100 –> 00:18:34,100
\nsome growth.
\nBut unfortunately, the soil is <\/p>\n

287
\n00:18:34,100 –> 00:18:37,400
\nshallow and the nutrients just
\naren’t sufficient. <\/p>\n

288
\n00:18:37,800 –> 00:18:43,000
\nWe don’t keep feeding it.
\nWe don’t keep going back to the <\/p>\n

289
\n00:18:43,000 –> 00:18:46,800
\nword or going back to the
\nfellowship that we drawn to be <\/p>\n

290
\n00:18:46,800 –> 00:18:49,900
\nable to get strength and
\nfundamentally what the biggest <\/p>\n

291
\n00:18:49,900 –> 00:18:53,300
\nproblem is for me.
\nAnyway, when I think of my mind <\/p>\n

292
\n00:18:53,300 –> 00:18:56,900
\nand the Stony ground, it’s when
\nI think I can do it all by <\/p>\n

293
\n00:18:56,900 –> 00:19:01,300
\nmyself.
\nIt’s what I think I have the <\/p>\n

294
\n00:19:01,300 –> 00:19:05,700
\nnutrients myself to make this
\nplant grow up and do everything <\/p>\n

295
\n00:19:05,700 –> 00:19:08,800
\nit needs to do.
\nWhat I do that. <\/p>\n

296
\n00:19:09,800 –> 00:19:13,400
\nI have insufficient focus on my
\nneed. <\/p>\n

297
\n00:19:15,100 –> 00:19:17,400
\nAnd that in itself is the
\nproblem. <\/p>\n

298
\n00:19:17,400 –> 00:19:21,000
\nIt’s muscular Christianity if
\nyou want to use that idea and <\/p>\n

299
\n00:19:21,000 –> 00:19:24,400
\nwhen we fail to nurture
\nourselves and to recognize the <\/p>\n

300
\n00:19:24,400 –> 00:19:28,700
\nneed that we have with the word
\nwith with our participation and <\/p>\n

301
\n00:19:28,700 –> 00:19:33,600
\nfellowship, what happens is when
\nwe’re under strain whenever <\/p>\n

302
\n00:19:33,600 –> 00:19:37,700
\nthings are difficult, we wither
\njust like that plant does. <\/p>\n

303
\n00:19:39,200 –> 00:19:42,700
\nThe pressure is there on it and
\nit reverts back to the thinking <\/p>\n

304
\n00:19:42,700 –> 00:19:46,300
\nof the flesh we choose to put
\nthe Lord first, but then <\/p>\n

305
\n00:19:46,300 –> 00:19:50,700
\nsomething comes that we really
\nwant and we realize we didn’t <\/p>\n

306
\n00:19:50,700 –> 00:19:55,600
\nhave the depth that we really
\nneeded to have maybe in some <\/p>\n

307
\n00:19:55,600 –> 00:19:58,000
\nways you’ve experienced that
\nalso. <\/p>\n

308
\n00:19:59,500 –> 00:20:02,000
\nNow the next two both have good
\nsoil. <\/p>\n

309
\n00:20:02,200 –> 00:20:04,500
\nIf you notice that before,
\nthere’s the one that’s choked by<\/p>\n

310
\n00:20:04,500 –> 00:20:08,100
\nthorns and there’s the good
\nsoil, but they both have good <\/p>\n

311
\n00:20:08,100 –> 00:20:13,700
\nsoil see in the case where it’s
\nchoked by Thorns the seed had <\/p>\n

312
\n00:20:13,700 –> 00:20:20,400
\neverything it needed.
\nIt had perfect Scott soil, right<\/p>\n

313
\n00:20:20,600 –> 00:20:25,000
\nall the nutrients have been
\ngiven to it all the watering the<\/p>\n

314
\n00:20:25,000 –> 00:20:28,100
\nfeeding it was there everything
\nwas there. <\/p>\n

315
\n00:20:29,500 –> 00:20:34,500
\nBut the problem was in this
\nparticular case Thorns come up <\/p>\n

316
\n00:20:34,500 –> 00:20:38,700
\nnext to the plant and the Thorns
\nby the way, they don’t kill the <\/p>\n

317
\n00:20:38,700 –> 00:20:42,100
\nplant which is very interesting
\nis similar in a way to the <\/p>\n

318
\n00:20:42,100 –> 00:20:46,700
\nparable of the tares, isn’t it?
\nJesus is don’t pull the tears up<\/p>\n

319
\n00:20:47,000 –> 00:20:50,400
\nthat’ll be done when the Angels
\nseparate them out at the <\/p>\n

320
\n00:20:50,400 –> 00:20:53,600
\nJudgment.
\nBut the idea here, is that the <\/p>\n

321
\n00:20:53,600 –> 00:20:55,600
\nThorns they don’t kill the
\nplant. <\/p>\n

322
\n00:20:56,200 –> 00:21:04,800
\nBut what is it that they cause
\nnon productivity So here’s a <\/p>\n

323
\n00:21:04,808 –> 00:21:09,200
\nchallenge for us what this is
\nsaying is that I can actually be<\/p>\n

324
\n00:21:09,200 –> 00:21:14,400
\na fully developed plant.
\nI could look like everything is <\/p>\n

325
\n00:21:14,400 –> 00:21:16,300
\nperfect.
\nI grow up. <\/p>\n

326
\n00:21:16,800 –> 00:21:20,500
\nI’ve got my you know, what a
\nplants have they have they have <\/p>\n

327
\n00:21:20,500 –> 00:21:25,300
\narms will say they have branches
\nthat come off of them and <\/p>\n

328
\n00:21:25,300 –> 00:21:29,400
\neverything is there you look for
\nto bear fruit and it doesn’t <\/p>\n

329
\n00:21:29,400 –> 00:21:32,700
\nbear fruit and why doesn’t it
\nbear fruit well because it’s <\/p>\n

330
\n00:21:32,700 –> 00:21:39,800
\nchoked by the world choked by
\nthorns and this one maybe <\/p>\n

331
\n00:21:39,800 –> 00:21:42,800
\nperhaps a bit useful for us.
\nWe’ll look at this in a moment. <\/p>\n

332
\n00:21:43,100 –> 00:21:47,000
\nEverything looks okay, but
\nthere’s just no change going on <\/p>\n

333
\n00:21:47,000 –> 00:21:50,700
\ninside and the fruit of the
\nspirit just as in being produced<\/p>\n

334
\n00:21:50,700 –> 00:21:56,100
\nin the world’s cares and the
\nlusts of riches and other things<\/p>\n

335
\n00:21:56,100 –> 00:22:01,000
\nthey secretly Rule and they
\nprevent that mind from being <\/p>\n

336
\n00:22:01,000 –> 00:22:05,100
\nchanged from a mind of the flesh
\nto a mind of the spirit and <\/p>\n

337
\n00:22:05,100 –> 00:22:08,100
\nbecause of that there’s no
\nproduction of fruit. <\/p>\n

338
\n00:22:10,200 –> 00:22:12,100
\nAnd finally, there’s the last
\none that’s mentioned to us. <\/p>\n

339
\n00:22:12,100 –> 00:22:14,400
\nAnd that’s the good soil.
\nThat’s what we all judged <\/p>\n

340
\n00:22:14,400 –> 00:22:20,700
\nourselves to be right good soil.
\nAnd I believe all of us have <\/p>\n

341
\n00:22:20,700 –> 00:22:25,500
\ngood soil within us.
\nAll the seed is that it’s in <\/p>\n

342
\n00:22:25,500 –> 00:22:30,700
\ngood soil is seed that can
\neither be encumbered by the <\/p>\n

343
\n00:22:30,700 –> 00:22:34,100
\nthings of the world or they can
\nbe productive. <\/p>\n

344
\n00:22:35,200 –> 00:22:39,700
\nSee in verse 20 we see what
\ncauses those to be productive <\/p>\n

345
\n00:22:39,700 –> 00:22:45,100
\nthe difference is this and verse
\n20 the good soil says these are <\/p>\n

346
\n00:22:45,100 –> 00:22:49,500
\nthey which are sown on good
\nground such as hear the word. <\/p>\n

347
\n00:22:49,500 –> 00:22:55,600
\nSo there’s the hearing of the
\nword the receiving of it and <\/p>\n

348
\n00:22:55,600 –> 00:23:00,100
\nbringing forth fruit some 30
\nsome 60 and some 100. <\/p>\n

349
\n00:23:00,100 –> 00:23:05,000
\nSo what happens here is the word
\ngoes beyond an academic. <\/p>\n

350
\n00:23:05,200 –> 00:23:10,200
\nKnowledge to a real spiritual
\nchange and brothers and sisters <\/p>\n

351
\n00:23:10,200 –> 00:23:15,300
\nin my years in the truth.
\nIf I had to boil it down to what<\/p>\n

352
\n00:23:15,300 –> 00:23:22,000
\nI thirst for the most it’s for
\nbeing able to realize that <\/p>\n

353
\n00:23:22,000 –> 00:23:27,700
\nrealize in my life more
\nspiritual thinking it’s to be <\/p>\n

354
\n00:23:27,700 –> 00:23:33,500
\nable to have a mind that thinks
\nmore like the Lord Jesus Christ <\/p>\n

355
\n00:23:34,300 –> 00:23:37,500
\nnow certainly our academic of in
\nknowledge of the truth is <\/p>\n

356
\n00:23:37,500 –> 00:23:39,300
\nimportant and it helps us to get
\nthere. <\/p>\n

357
\n00:23:39,500 –> 00:23:45,000
\nBut what I want to have Is what
\nmaybe you don’t see and that’s <\/p>\n

358
\n00:23:45,000 –> 00:23:48,300
\nwhat’s really happening inside
\nmy mind the way that I think and<\/p>\n

359
\n00:23:48,300 –> 00:23:51,500
\nthe way I react those were the
\ngood soil. <\/p>\n

360
\n00:23:51,800 –> 00:23:56,300
\nI believe you’re aware of the
\nchange that’s going on within <\/p>\n

361
\n00:23:56,300 –> 00:23:59,100
\nyou aren’t you?
\nDon’t you feel it? <\/p>\n

362
\n00:24:00,000 –> 00:24:03,900
\nDon’t you know this something
\nyou unusual something unique is <\/p>\n

363
\n00:24:03,900 –> 00:24:07,700
\nhappening within you you don’t
\nsee things the way the rest of <\/p>\n

364
\n00:24:07,700 –> 00:24:11,100
\nthe world does and you don’t
\neven see things the way you used<\/p>\n

365
\n00:24:11,100 –> 00:24:15,700
\nto see him before in your life
\nyou’ve changed and that change <\/p>\n

366
\n00:24:16,500 –> 00:24:20,300
\nis sometimes thirtyfold
\nsixtyfold or a hundredfold. <\/p>\n

367
\n00:24:21,300 –> 00:24:24,900
\nNow, we have a lot of examples a
\nlot of examples of good soil may<\/p>\n

368
\n00:24:24,900 –> 00:24:28,500
\njust take a couple looks here in
\nscripture Philippians chapter 4 <\/p>\n

369
\n00:24:35,700 –> 00:24:41,000
\nPhilippians chapter 4 beginning
\nat verse 9. <\/p>\n

370
\n00:24:41,000 –> 00:24:43,500
\nThis sounds to me like good
\nsoil. <\/p>\n

371
\n00:24:44,600 –> 00:24:48,100
\nAfter concluding all the things
\nthat we should be focusing on <\/p>\n

372
\n00:24:48,100 –> 00:24:52,100
\nthe things that are honest and
\njust and pure and verse 8 verse <\/p>\n

373
\n00:24:52,100 –> 00:24:53,500
\n9.
\nHe says those things which ye <\/p>\n

374
\n00:24:53,500 –> 00:24:57,000
\nhave both learned.
\nSo you’ve heard them and <\/p>\n

375
\n00:24:57,000 –> 00:25:02,200
\nreceived and heard and see in me
\ndo so. <\/p>\n

376
\n00:25:02,200 –> 00:25:04,900
\nIt’s not good enough just to
\nhear it not good enough just to <\/p>\n

377
\n00:25:04,900 –> 00:25:08,600
\nreceive it you have to do it.
\nAnd when you do those things he <\/p>\n

378
\n00:25:08,600 –> 00:25:12,500
\nsays he says then the God of
\nPeace shall be with you. <\/p>\n

379
\n00:25:13,300 –> 00:25:18,100
\nBut I rejoiced in the Lord
\ngreatly that now at the last <\/p>\n

380
\n00:25:18,200 –> 00:25:21,800
\nyour care of me hath flourished
\nagain, where any were also <\/p>\n

381
\n00:25:21,800 –> 00:25:24,000
\ncareful but she lacked
\nopportunity. <\/p>\n

382
\n00:25:24,500 –> 00:25:28,200
\nNot that I speak in respect of
\nwant for have learned in <\/p>\n

383
\n00:25:28,200 –> 00:25:31,800
\nwhatsoever State I am therewith
\nto be content. <\/p>\n

384
\n00:25:31,800 –> 00:25:36,100
\nSo what is it the Apostle Paul’s
\nchanged thinking is how is he <\/p>\n

385
\n00:25:36,100 –> 00:25:38,800
\ngone from the thinking of the
\nflesh to the thinking of the <\/p>\n

386
\n00:25:38,800 –> 00:25:41,500
\nspirit?
\nHow is he gone from hearing the <\/p>\n

387
\n00:25:41,500 –> 00:25:44,300
\nword to receiving the To bearing
\nfruit. <\/p>\n

388
\n00:25:44,300 –> 00:25:48,800
\nWell, here it is.
\nI know both how to be abased and<\/p>\n

389
\n00:25:48,800 –> 00:25:52,800
\nI know how to abound everywhere
\nand in all things. <\/p>\n

390
\n00:25:52,800 –> 00:25:56,600
\nI am instructed both to be full
\nand to be hungry both to abound <\/p>\n

391
\n00:25:56,600 –> 00:26:02,200
\nand to suffer need I can do all
\nthings through Christ which <\/p>\n

392
\n00:26:02,200 –> 00:26:07,800
\nstrengtheneth me now that is the
\nmind of the spirit the one that <\/p>\n

393
\n00:26:07,800 –> 00:26:14,100
\nI want to have more of and that
\nis an example of one who had Had<\/p>\n

394
\n00:26:14,100 –> 00:26:16,200
\na change in his life a change in
\nthe way. <\/p>\n

395
\n00:26:16,200 –> 00:26:21,300
\nHe thought the the seed entered
\nin and it was able to bring <\/p>\n

396
\n00:26:21,300 –> 00:26:24,400
\nforth fruit.
\nWe can look at so many other <\/p>\n

397
\n00:26:24,400 –> 00:26:29,000
\nexamples of good soil and how
\nthat good Soul brings about a <\/p>\n

398
\n00:26:29,000 –> 00:26:32,800
\ndifferent way of thinking
\nremember even Jesus were told in<\/p>\n

399
\n00:26:32,800 –> 00:26:38,000
\nHebrews chapter in chapter 5, it
\nsays that he learned obedience <\/p>\n

400
\n00:26:38,000 –> 00:26:42,500
\nby the things that he suffered
\ngood soil allows us to learn <\/p>\n

401
\n00:26:42,500 –> 00:26:44,300
\nthings that we We wouldn’t
\notherwise. <\/p>\n

402
\n00:26:45,300 –> 00:26:49,300
\nNow there is an additional
\nnarrative in Mark’s gospel that <\/p>\n

403
\n00:26:49,300 –> 00:26:51,700
\ndoesn’t happen to Matthew’s
\ngospel about the parable of the <\/p>\n

404
\n00:26:51,700 –> 00:26:54,000
\nsower.
\nAnd if you’ll turn with me it’s <\/p>\n

405
\n00:26:54,000 –> 00:26:59,000
\nover in verse 26 and I think is
\nan important one on this idea of<\/p>\n

406
\n00:26:59,000 –> 00:27:03,100
\nunderstanding these different
\naspects that we have in our life<\/p>\n

407
\n00:27:03,500 –> 00:27:07,800
\nare there places where I am be
\nin penetrant and I’m not <\/p>\n

408
\n00:27:07,800 –> 00:27:11,500
\nlistening.
\nI’m not willing to change are <\/p>\n

409
\n00:27:11,500 –> 00:27:16,000
\nthere.
\nAre there places where you know,<\/p>\n

410
\n00:27:16,000 –> 00:27:19,400
\nI start to do these things, but
\nI just don’t seem to have the <\/p>\n

411
\n00:27:19,400 –> 00:27:24,300
\nfaith to follow through and are
\nthere times where the world <\/p>\n

412
\n00:27:24,400 –> 00:27:27,600
\nactually is choking me and
\nkeeping me from bearing fruit. <\/p>\n

413
\n00:27:28,300 –> 00:27:31,800
\nThose are things we need to be
\ninvolved with as we examine <\/p>\n

414
\n00:27:31,800 –> 00:27:34,200
\nourselves.
\nBut look what he has here in <\/p>\n

415
\n00:27:34,200 –> 00:27:37,500
\nverse 26.
\nHe said so is the kingdom of <\/p>\n

416
\n00:27:37,500 –> 00:27:40,500
\nGod.
\nAs if a man should cast seed <\/p>\n

417
\n00:27:40,500 –> 00:27:45,100
\ninto the ground.
\nNow look at what the solar does.<\/p>\n

418
\n00:27:45,200 –> 00:27:50,700
\nAll he does is cast the seed
\nverse 27 and should sleep and <\/p>\n

419
\n00:27:50,700 –> 00:27:54,000
\nRise night and day and the seed
\nshould spring and grow up. <\/p>\n

420
\n00:27:54,500 –> 00:27:59,100
\nHe knoweth not how for the Earth
\nbringeth forth fruit of its of <\/p>\n

421
\n00:27:59,100 –> 00:28:01,800
\nherself.
\nFirst the blade that was the <\/p>\n

422
\n00:28:01,800 –> 00:28:04,400
\nword.
\nI was looking for then the year <\/p>\n

423
\n00:28:04,900 –> 00:28:10,000
\nafter that the full after that
\nthe full corn in the ear and <\/p>\n

424
\n00:28:10,000 –> 00:28:12,200
\nwhen the fruit is brought forth
\nimmediately. <\/p>\n

425
\n00:28:12,500 –> 00:28:15,400
\nHe put it in the sickle because
\nthe Harvest is come. <\/p>\n

426
\n00:28:15,900 –> 00:28:19,300
\nSo some important addition to
\nthe parable of the sower here in<\/p>\n

427
\n00:28:19,300 –> 00:28:23,400
\nMark’s gospel because the sower
\ndoesn’t control the germination <\/p>\n

428
\n00:28:23,400 –> 00:28:29,300
\nand the growth as time passes
\nthe seed grows in the soil <\/p>\n

429
\n00:28:29,300 –> 00:28:34,500
\nwithout the Sowers power.
\nAnd the sower doesn’t bring <\/p>\n

430
\n00:28:34,500 –> 00:28:37,600
\nabout this transformation and
\nthe sower doesn’t bring about <\/p>\n

431
\n00:28:37,600 –> 00:28:44,600
\nfruit in anybody else.
\nWell, we know that to be a <\/p>\n

432
\n00:28:44,608 –> 00:28:49,400
\nprincipal of Paul talked about
\nhow he had planted but Apollo <\/p>\n

433
\n00:28:49,400 –> 00:28:53,800
\nsaid watered but God granted the
\nincrease and we can also know <\/p>\n

434
\n00:28:53,800 –> 00:28:56,300
\nthat in our own personal
\nexperience. <\/p>\n

435
\n00:28:57,500 –> 00:29:02,100
\nWe are very poor at being able
\nto judge what’s going to <\/p>\n

436
\n00:29:02,100 –> 00:29:05,900
\ngerminate and bear fruit.
\nI can think back over the <\/p>\n

437
\n00:29:06,500 –> 00:29:11,000
\nsnappin 21 years since the first
\nseminar that I was involved with<\/p>\n

438
\n00:29:11,000 –> 00:29:13,700
\nand I remember that because I
\nbroke my leg and Christian had <\/p>\n

439
\n00:29:13,700 –> 00:29:18,400
\nto do the seminar in Pomona for
\nus 21 years have passed and I <\/p>\n

440
\n00:29:18,408 –> 00:29:22,600
\nremember from all the people all
\nthe years how certain I would be<\/p>\n

441
\n00:29:22,600 –> 00:29:26,600
\nat times.
\nThat one’s the good ground. <\/p>\n

442
\n00:29:27,500 –> 00:29:30,600
\nThere is a person who’s going to
\nthis is going this person’s <\/p>\n

443
\n00:29:30,600 –> 00:29:32,900
\ngoing to grab onto the gospel.
\nThey were christadelphians <\/p>\n

444
\n00:29:32,900 –> 00:29:37,200
\ndidn’t even know it and how many
\ntimes I was wrong. <\/p>\n

445
\n00:29:37,200 –> 00:29:39,900
\nIn fact, I’d have to say almost
\nmaybe every time I was wrong. <\/p>\n

446
\n00:29:40,200 –> 00:29:43,500
\nIt was the person who challenged
\neverything. <\/p>\n

447
\n00:29:43,500 –> 00:29:48,200
\nWe said one person who
\ntape-recorded it transcribed <\/p>\n

448
\n00:29:48,200 –> 00:29:51,600
\neverything and came back and
\nsaid you said this and I think <\/p>\n

449
\n00:29:51,600 –> 00:29:53,400
\nit’s wrong.
\nThat was the one that got <\/p>\n

450
\n00:29:53,400 –> 00:29:56,700
\nbaptized.
\nYou know the fact is we don’t <\/p>\n

451
\n00:29:56,700 –> 00:30:00,400
\nknow how this process all
\nhappens and we don’t necessarily<\/p>\n

452
\n00:30:00,400 –> 00:30:06,300
\nknow how it happens in us.
\nThe power to transform us is not<\/p>\n

453
\n00:30:06,300 –> 00:30:09,200
\nour power.
\nIt’s the power of our heavenly <\/p>\n

454
\n00:30:09,200 –> 00:30:13,000
\nfather and we have to be open to
\nthe word when we’re open to the <\/p>\n

455
\n00:30:13,000 –> 00:30:17,400
\nword.
\nIt can penetrate into us and he <\/p>\n

456
\n00:30:17,400 –> 00:30:21,200
\nwill make a germinate and he
\nwill give us the power to bring <\/p>\n

457
\n00:30:21,200 –> 00:30:29,300
\nforth fruit, you know parents.
\nparents can plant and parents <\/p>\n

458
\n00:30:29,300 –> 00:30:34,000
\ncan water But our children they
\nhave to decide for themselves, <\/p>\n

459
\n00:30:34,000 –> 00:30:38,700
\nwhether they want to hear and
\nreceive and bear fruit. <\/p>\n

460
\n00:30:40,100 –> 00:30:43,400
\nAnd when we see personal
\ntransformation in our own lives,<\/p>\n

461
\n00:30:43,400 –> 00:30:47,200
\nwe see our minds changing.
\nWe shouldn’t view this as being <\/p>\n

462
\n00:30:47,200 –> 00:30:50,200
\nOur Own Strength at our own
\ncapability. <\/p>\n

463
\n00:30:50,700 –> 00:30:55,200
\nThe transformational process in
\nour lives is not by us. <\/p>\n

464
\n00:30:57,000 –> 00:31:00,300
\nOr by the person who preached to
\nus. <\/p>\n

465
\n00:31:01,600 –> 00:31:05,700
\nWe are without strength.
\nBut the power of the master who <\/p>\n

466
\n00:31:05,700 –> 00:31:09,800
\nfeeds us he nourishes us and he
\nbrings about the Harvest. <\/p>\n

467
\n00:31:11,300 –> 00:31:14,500
\nSo we really don’t know why
\nsometimes or how I should say <\/p>\n

468
\n00:31:14,500 –> 00:31:18,500
\nour minds are changed.
\nHow does the brother who <\/p>\n

469
\n00:31:19,100 –> 00:31:24,800
\nirritated me become a person who
\ndidn’t really change but becomes<\/p>\n

470
\n00:31:24,800 –> 00:31:30,100
\na brother that I love.
\nForgive myself for now. <\/p>\n

471
\n00:31:30,500 –> 00:31:32,900
\nThat’s a pretty abnormal
\nprocess. <\/p>\n

472
\n00:31:33,900 –> 00:31:39,600
\nBut that is an example of how
\nour lives change and we bear <\/p>\n

473
\n00:31:39,600 –> 00:31:42,300
\nfruit.
\nHow does the lust of the flesh <\/p>\n

474
\n00:31:42,600 –> 00:31:45,800
\nthat earlier in my life might
\nhave been something that <\/p>\n

475
\n00:31:46,000 –> 00:31:49,100
\npenetrated me and seemed
\ninsurmountable becomes <\/p>\n

476
\n00:31:49,100 –> 00:31:51,300
\nsomething.
\nThat’s no longer the force that <\/p>\n

477
\n00:31:51,300 –> 00:31:56,300
\nit was it’s unattractive.
\nIt’s diffused not important to <\/p>\n

478
\n00:31:56,300 –> 00:31:59,800
\nme any longer.
\nSo brothers and sisters, what do<\/p>\n

479
\n00:31:59,800 –> 00:32:02,200
\nwe need to do?
\nWell, just a few last comments <\/p>\n

480
\n00:32:02,500 –> 00:32:09,500
\nlike to turn over to First Peter
\nchapter 2 First Peter chapter 2 <\/p>\n

481
\n00:32:10,500 –> 00:32:16,600
\njust one quick verse or two
\nquick versus will look at verse <\/p>\n

482
\n00:32:16,600 –> 00:32:21,300
\n11 and 12 First Peter chapter 2
\nverses 11 and 12 dearly beloved.<\/p>\n

483
\n00:32:21,400 –> 00:32:29,300
\nI beseech you I beseech you as
\nstrangers and pilgrims abstain <\/p>\n

484
\n00:32:29,300 –> 00:32:33,100
\nfrom fleshly lusts.
\nNow, that sounds like a comment <\/p>\n

485
\n00:32:33,100 –> 00:32:36,400
\nthat sounds like a commandment.
\nJust don’t do that. <\/p>\n

486
\n00:32:36,800 –> 00:32:38,700
\nWell, there’s a reason we don’t
\nDon’t do that. <\/p>\n

487
\n00:32:38,800 –> 00:32:42,200
\nWhy because they war against the
\nsoul. <\/p>\n

488
\n00:32:43,500 –> 00:32:46,000
\nSo let’s go back to our parable
\nof the sower. <\/p>\n

489
\n00:32:46,400 –> 00:32:51,000
\nDo you think it’s possible for
\nyou and me to be involved in the<\/p>\n

490
\n00:32:51,000 –> 00:32:55,700
\nthings of the flesh to have an
\nactivity in those things and to <\/p>\n

491
\n00:32:55,700 –> 00:32:58,100
\nexpect that we’re going to be
\nbearing fruit. <\/p>\n

492
\n00:32:58,800 –> 00:33:01,500
\nThere is a war going on in the
\nmind of a person who’s <\/p>\n

493
\n00:33:01,500 –> 00:33:04,100
\nparticipating in the lust of the
\nflesh. <\/p>\n

494
\n00:33:04,900 –> 00:33:07,900
\nSo one of the first things that
\nwe can do is choose Holiness <\/p>\n

495
\n00:33:08,400 –> 00:33:13,100
\nchoose not to be having mines
\nwhich are corrupted by the <\/p>\n

496
\n00:33:13,300 –> 00:33:17,200
\nThings of the flesh.
\nThe next thing of course is <\/p>\n

497
\n00:33:17,200 –> 00:33:20,500
\nself-examination.
\nI would suggest that’s probably <\/p>\n

498
\n00:33:20,500 –> 00:33:24,100
\nthe first thing that we see
\nbreaks down when we go off when <\/p>\n

499
\n00:33:24,100 –> 00:33:29,300
\nwe become impenetrable when we
\nhave Stony ground in our heart. <\/p>\n

500
\n00:33:29,500 –> 00:33:32,700
\nIt’s because we stopped
\nexamining ourselves and looking <\/p>\n

501
\n00:33:32,700 –> 00:33:36,000
\ninside.
\nWe need to work to remove the <\/p>\n

502
\n00:33:36,000 –> 00:33:40,500
\nthorns.
\nYou know Solomon in the fourth <\/p>\n

503
\n00:33:40,500 –> 00:33:45,000
\nchapter of proverbs he was
\ntalking about how we are to look<\/p>\n

504
\n00:33:45,000 –> 00:33:47,900
\nat Temptation.
\nHe says when you’re walking down<\/p>\n

505
\n00:33:47,900 –> 00:33:53,300
\nthe road, he says avoid it pass
\nit by walk on the other side. <\/p>\n

506
\n00:33:54,900 –> 00:33:58,100
\nThat kind of doesn’t tend to be
\nthe way we do it sometimes right<\/p>\n

507
\n00:33:58,700 –> 00:34:01,100
\nwe kind of get as close as we
\ncan. <\/p>\n

508
\n00:34:01,100 –> 00:34:04,800
\nBut we’re we have enough
\nstrength to stay away from that.<\/p>\n

509
\n00:34:05,200 –> 00:34:09,900
\nThe message is avoided pass it
\nby that’s what we need to do. <\/p>\n

510
\n00:34:10,199 –> 00:34:16,100
\nDon’t let the Thorns grow in
\nyour good ground and finally <\/p>\n

511
\n00:34:16,100 –> 00:34:20,500
\ngive glory to God not to
\nyourself for the changes that <\/p>\n

512
\n00:34:20,500 –> 00:34:23,900
\nhe’s bringing about so like to
\nconclude then with he With a <\/p>\n

513
\n00:34:23,900 –> 00:34:28,000
\nfission is chapter 3 and I
\nwonder if the Apostle Paul. <\/p>\n

514
\n00:34:28,000 –> 00:34:31,199
\nIn fact, I’m almost convinced
\nthat the Apostle Paul must have <\/p>\n

515
\n00:34:31,199 –> 00:34:35,000
\nhad the parable of the sower on
\nhis mind when he wrote these <\/p>\n

516
\n00:34:35,000 –> 00:34:38,300
\nwords.
\nRemember it’s about being rooted<\/p>\n

517
\n00:34:38,300 –> 00:34:42,900
\nand grafted.
\nIt’s about being having depth of<\/p>\n

518
\n00:34:42,900 –> 00:34:46,199
\nsoil and bearing fruit.
\nWell this look at what he says <\/p>\n

519
\n00:34:46,400 –> 00:34:51,699
\nbeginning at verse 13 wherefore
\nI desire that you faint not at <\/p>\n

520
\n00:34:51,707 –> 00:34:55,800
\nmy tribulations for you. which
\nis your glory for this cause I <\/p>\n

521
\n00:34:55,800 –> 00:34:59,500
\nbow my knees under the father of
\nour Lord Jesus Christ of whom <\/p>\n

522
\n00:34:59,500 –> 00:35:03,800
\nthe whole family in Heaven and
\nEarth is named that he would <\/p>\n

523
\n00:35:03,800 –> 00:35:07,600
\nGrant you according to the
\nriches of his glory to be <\/p>\n

524
\n00:35:07,600 –> 00:35:13,600
\nstrengthened with might by his
\nspirit in the Inner Man look at <\/p>\n

525
\n00:35:13,600 –> 00:35:22,500
\nverse 17 That Christ May dwell
\nin your hearts by faith that ye <\/p>\n

526
\n00:35:22,700 –> 00:35:29,600
\nbeing rooted and grounded in
\nlove may be able to a comprehend<\/p>\n

527
\n00:35:29,600 –> 00:35:32,900
\nwith All Saints.
\nWhat is the breadth and the <\/p>\n

528
\n00:35:32,900 –> 00:35:35,800
\nlength and the depth and the
\nheight and to know the love of <\/p>\n

529
\n00:35:35,800 –> 00:35:40,800
\nChrist which passeth knowledge
\nthat ye might be filled with all<\/p>\n

530
\n00:35:40,800 –> 00:35:44,500
\nthe fullness of God.
\nNow unto him that is able to do <\/p>\n

531
\n00:35:44,500 –> 00:35:49,000
\nall exceedingly exceeding
\nabundantly above all that we ask<\/p>\n

532
\n00:35:49,000 –> 00:35:55,400
\nor think according to the power
\nthat worketh in US unto him be <\/p>\n

533
\n00:35:55,400 –> 00:35:59,800
\nglory in the church by Christ
\nJesus throughout all ages World <\/p>\n

534
\n00:35:59,800 –> 00:36:03,000
\nWithout End.
\nSo brothers and sisters, that’s <\/p>\n

535
\n00:36:03,000 –> 00:36:07,300
\nthe process.
\nThe process is to allow the word<\/p>\n

536
\n00:36:07,400 –> 00:36:14,100
\nto dwell in us to strip away the
\nthorns in our lives and when we <\/p>\n

537
\n00:36:14,100 –> 00:36:20,500
\ndo this, we will be rooted and
\ngrounded in love and we will be <\/p>\n

538
\n00:36:20,500 –> 00:36:25,500
\nable to participate with all the
\nsaints in the Kingdom of Heaven <\/p>\n

539
\n00:36:26,200 –> 00:36:31,200
\nunderstanding what it means now
\nto know the fullness of God to <\/p>\n

540
\n00:36:31,200 –> 00:36:34,400
\nbe Filled with the fullness of
\nGod and to be able to do <\/p>\n

541
\n00:36:34,400 –> 00:36:40,000
\nexceedingly abundantly whether
\nit be thirtyfold sixtyfold or a <\/p>\n

542
\n00:36:40,008 –> 00:36:43,800
\nhundredfold that we would be
\nable to bring fruit to our <\/p>\n

543
\n00:36:43,900 –> 00:36:49,000
\nmaster who does all things and
\nit’s through him and his power <\/p>\n

544
\n00:36:49,300 –> 00:36:52,400
\nthat works in us.
\nAnd so of course we see the Lord<\/p>\n

545
\n00:36:52,400 –> 00:36:57,400
\nJesus Christ that were now here
\nto remember the perfect soil of <\/p>\n

546
\n00:36:57,400 –> 00:37:01,200
\nwhich there were no Thorns no
\nrockiness in that soil. <\/p>\n

547
\n00:37:01,300 –> 00:37:05,800
\nOil, he brought forth fruit
\nabundantly without measure and <\/p>\n

548
\n00:37:05,800 –> 00:37:09,600
\nnow we remember him and we ask
\nhim for strength and our lives <\/p>\n

549
\n00:37:10,000 –> 00:37:13,600
\nto be able to allow us to indeed
\nbear him fruit. <\/p>\n
