\n00:00:51,700 –> 00:00:53,200

\nStephen Mansfield, back in
\nFebruary of 2021 at the Garden. <\/p>\n

12
\n00:00:58,300 –> 00:01:03,800
\nGrove Ecclesia, in Australia.
\nThis excitation was while events<\/p>\n

13
\n00:01:03,800 –> 00:01:07,300
\nare still going on with covid-19
\nand the lockdown. <\/p>\n

14
\n00:01:07,300 –> 00:01:11,300
\nAnd then also was right after
\nthe events that happened in <\/p>\n

15
\n00:01:11,300 –> 00:01:16,300
\nJanuary 6th year in the United
\nStates in his excitation <\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:16,300 –> 00:01:17,800
\nbrother.
\nSteve is giving us an excellent <\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:17,800 –> 00:01:20,500
\nreminder of while.
\nThe amazing things about <\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:20,508 –> 00:01:23,700
\ntechnology that gives us the
\nability to be connected, even <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:23,700 –> 00:01:27,300
\nthough we’re far apart allowing
\nthings, like this podcast to be <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:27,300 –> 00:01:29,500
\npossible because of all the
\nrecordings that are being done. <\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:30,300 –> 00:01:35,200
\nNow even more so than they were
\nin years past but also stressing<\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:35,200 –> 00:01:38,500
\nthe importance of being together
\nas a body. <\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:39,000 –> 00:01:42,400
\nNot just connected by a screen
\nwhere we’re looking at each <\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:42,400 –> 00:01:45,100
\nother.
\nAs we’re now in the summer and <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:45,100 –> 00:01:49,000
\ngoing on to the season where we
\ngo into Bible schools here I am <\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:49,000 –> 00:01:51,300
\ntalk reminded me about the
\nSynergy and the energy that you <\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:51,300 –> 00:01:55,300
\ncan feel when you’re at your
\nBible school with those of like <\/p>\n

28
\n00:01:55,300 –> 00:01:58,700
\nPrecious Faith to be able to
\nencourage each other in a way <\/p>\n

29
\n00:01:58,700 –> 00:02:03,300
\nthat is more.
\nFulton any virtual setting might<\/p>\n

30
\n00:02:03,300 –> 00:02:08,400
\nbe so well the technology that
\nwe enjoy is amazing. <\/p>\n

31
\n00:02:08,500 –> 00:02:10,300
\nAlso allowed us to do some
\nincredible things. <\/p>\n

32
\n00:02:10,600 –> 00:02:13,200
\nIt’s important for us.
\nNot to lose sight of The <\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:13,200 –> 00:02:17,100
\nImportance of Being physically
\ntogether in the energy and the <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:17,100 –> 00:02:20,600
\nenthusiasm you can feel when
\nyou’re in a room, whether it’s <\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:20,600 –> 00:02:24,300
\nseeing him just hearing the buzz
\nof people talking after they <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:24,300 –> 00:02:27,500
\nhear a really good execution or
\nafter the conclusion of a good <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:27,500 –> 00:02:30,100
\nclass.
\nSo wanted to share this, This <\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:30,100 –> 00:02:33,800
\nexpectation that was sent over a
\nlittle bit ago, but stock, it <\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:33,800 –> 00:02:38,300
\nwas still a really good point.
\nSo hopefully that you will enjoy<\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:38,300 –> 00:02:42,300
\nthis extrication by Brother
\nSteve Mansfield on the topic of <\/p>\n

41
\n00:02:42,300 –> 00:02:45,500
\nthe value of Fellowship.
\nGood morning, my dear brothers <\/p>\n

42
\n00:02:45,500 –> 00:02:47,500
\nand sisters in our Lord.
\nJesus Christ. <\/p>\n

43
\n00:02:47,500 –> 00:02:50,600
\nWhat an amazing week.
\nIt’s been as we’re sort of <\/p>\n

44
\n00:02:50,600 –> 00:02:54,900
\nwatched the great superpower of
\nAmerica on a knife edge <\/p>\n

45
\n00:02:54,900 –> 00:02:58,100
\nwondering, which way it’s going
\nto go and from four years ago, <\/p>\n

46
\n00:02:58,100 –> 00:03:00,600
\nwhere mr.
\nTrump made his Catchphrase. <\/p>\n

47
\n00:03:00,600 –> 00:03:05,100
\nLet’s make America great again.
\nOf course, it’s spiral down into<\/p>\n

48
\n00:03:05,100 –> 00:03:09,800
\nDivision disunity and almost
\nRebellion, well, not only has <\/p>\n

49
\n00:03:09,800 –> 00:03:12,100
\nthis week been interesting but
\nthe whole year really has know <\/p>\n

50
\n00:03:12,100 –> 00:03:15,200
\nwhat an amazing year for all of
\nus are very different and <\/p>\n

51
\n00:03:15,200 –> 00:03:19,300
\ndistinct and remarkable year in
\nthe Life Time of all of us. <\/p>\n

52
\n00:03:19,700 –> 00:03:23,500
\nAnd this whole covid crisis has
\nbeen very hard for us to deal <\/p>\n

53
\n00:03:23,500 –> 00:03:26,500
\nwith here in Australia.
\nAnd of course, even worse in <\/p>\n

54
\n00:03:26,500 –> 00:03:28,700
\nsome of the overseas countries
\nEurope, they tell me he’s going <\/p>\n

55
\n00:03:28,700 –> 00:03:30,300
\nto hit the peak in.
\nAubry. <\/p>\n

56
\n00:03:30,400 –> 00:03:33,500
\nSo all the statistics that are
\ncoming in now are going to sort <\/p>\n

57
\n00:03:33,500 –> 00:03:37,000
\nof Ascend through to February
\nnext year. <\/p>\n

58
\n00:03:37,000 –> 00:03:41,100
\nSo what an amazing world and of
\ncourse, right through the Middle<\/p>\n

59
\n00:03:41,100 –> 00:03:44,000
\nEast, they’ve been sending
\nsignificant events as well with <\/p>\n

60
\n00:03:44,200 –> 00:03:46,600
\nthe Abraham Accord being signed
\noff. <\/p>\n

61
\n00:03:46,900 –> 00:03:50,100
\nSo there are some again, some
\nwonderful and significant events<\/p>\n

62
\n00:03:50,100 –> 00:03:53,100
\nthat are happening there and
\nmeanwhile governments are <\/p>\n

63
\n00:03:53,100 –> 00:03:56,000
\npouring trillions of dollars
\ninto their economies to try and <\/p>\n

64
\n00:03:56,000 –> 00:03:59,200
\nprop it up and keep the world
\ngoing and they say you covid <\/p>\n

65
\n00:03:59,200 –> 00:04:01,600
\ndoesn’t get you there.
\nThe financial crisis will. <\/p>\n

66
\n00:04:02,000 –> 00:04:04,700
\nSo, you know, not much happiness
\nahead of us. <\/p>\n

67
\n00:04:04,700 –> 00:04:07,500
\nWell, ahead of us, of course,
\nthere is the return of Jesus <\/p>\n

68
\n00:04:07,500 –> 00:04:10,300
\nChrist, but for the world in
\ngeneral, they’re struggling with<\/p>\n

69
\n00:04:10,300 –> 00:04:13,000
\nall these events and trying to
\ncome to terms with them. <\/p>\n

70
\n00:04:13,600 –> 00:04:16,300
\nSo, this morning, I want to talk
\nabout the value of friendship, <\/p>\n

71
\n00:04:16,300 –> 00:04:19,200
\nbecause, of course, all of us
\nhave been impacted by covid. <\/p>\n

72
\n00:04:19,399 –> 00:04:21,399
\nAnd even as we greet each other
\nat the media, we’re sort of a <\/p>\n

73
\n00:04:21,399 –> 00:04:24,300
\nlittle bit apprehensive, as to,
\nwell, do, we do an elbow knock <\/p>\n

74
\n00:04:24,300 –> 00:04:27,100
\nor a fist punch, or a kick in
\nThe Shins or we’re not quite <\/p>\n

75
\n00:04:27,100 –> 00:04:30,800
\nsure what it is.
\nBut certainly, He, we need to <\/p>\n

76
\n00:04:30,800 –> 00:04:35,000
\nemphasize for all this the value
\nof Fellowship, because some of <\/p>\n

77
\n00:04:35,000 –> 00:04:37,100
\nus are getting quite comforted
\nwith, not coming along to the <\/p>\n

78
\n00:04:37,100 –> 00:04:38,700
\nmeeting.
\nAnd we’re saying, well, it’s <\/p>\n

79
\n00:04:38,700 –> 00:04:40,800
\nvery convenient for us to
\nrecline on the couch. <\/p>\n

80
\n00:04:40,800 –> 00:04:44,000
\nAnd to, you know, watch a
\nbrother from either this <\/p>\n

81
\n00:04:44,000 –> 00:04:47,300
\nforeclosure overseas or anywhere
\ngive a particular talk and for <\/p>\n

82
\n00:04:47,300 –> 00:04:49,400
\nus, you know, that’s quite
\nconvenient comfortable. <\/p>\n

83
\n00:04:49,400 –> 00:04:50,800
\nWell, not at all brothers and
\nsisters. <\/p>\n

84
\n00:04:50,800 –> 00:04:55,800
\nWe need to remind ourselves.
\nIf nothing else this impact of <\/p>\n

85
\n00:04:55,800 –> 00:05:00,900
\ncovid and how critical and how
\nimportant physical Fellowship is<\/p>\n

86
\n00:05:00,900 –> 00:05:05,000
\nfor us and we’re going to see
\nthis particularly in this event <\/p>\n

87
\n00:05:05,000 –> 00:05:10,900
\nof the Apostle Paul here in Acts
\nchapter 21 and I do have to <\/p>\n

88
\n00:05:10,900 –> 00:05:12,200
\nthank Brother Scott for the
\nreading. <\/p>\n

89
\n00:05:12,200 –> 00:05:15,700
\nI did acts 21 and 22 is the
\nreading for the day, but I <\/p>\n

90
\n00:05:15,707 –> 00:05:18,700
\nnoticed that the end of Acts
\nchapter 21. <\/p>\n

91
\n00:05:18,800 –> 00:05:22,200
\nThe finishing word is saying,
\nand it sort of continues on into<\/p>\n

92
\n00:05:22,500 –> 00:05:25,600
\ninto a chapter 22.
\nSo I thought, well, you know, <\/p>\n

93
\n00:05:25,600 –> 00:05:27,100
\nthat’s going to be rather long
\nreading. <\/p>\n

94
\n00:05:27,100 –> 00:05:31,800
\nSo we did chop it verse 17,
\nwhich is idiot because fins are <\/p>\n

95
\n00:05:31,800 –> 00:05:34,400
\nfinishes on a positive note and
\nthat’s really the thrust of our <\/p>\n

96
\n00:05:34,400 –> 00:05:37,900
\nexaltation this morning.
\nSo we know from our readings <\/p>\n

97
\n00:05:37,900 –> 00:05:43,400
\nlast night that in Chapter 20,
\nThe Ephesian members the owners <\/p>\n

98
\n00:05:43,400 –> 00:05:47,000
\nof the Ecclesia met with the
\nApostle Paul to show their <\/p>\n

99
\n00:05:47,000 –> 00:05:50,200
\nrespect and their love, their
\nappreciation for his work. <\/p>\n

100
\n00:05:50,200 –> 00:05:54,900
\nThat was over three years in
\nparticular, for this Ephesian <\/p>\n

101
\n00:05:54,900 –> 00:05:58,800
\ngrew and in chapter 20.
\nAnd verse 36, we have this final<\/p>\n

102
\n00:05:58,800 –> 00:06:03,400
\nscene, it’s very tender Farewell
\nverse 36 of chapter 20 which is <\/p>\n

103
\n00:06:03,400 –> 00:06:05,100
\nthe introduction to our
\ncomments. <\/p>\n

104
\n00:06:05,100 –> 00:06:07,500
\nThis morning.
\nIt said when he had thus, this <\/p>\n

105
\n00:06:07,500 –> 00:06:12,200
\nis the Apostle Paul spoken.
\nHe kneeled down and he prayed <\/p>\n

106
\n00:06:12,300 –> 00:06:17,900
\nwith them all.
\nHe wept saw and he knew down and<\/p>\n

107
\n00:06:17,900 –> 00:06:21,800
\nhe prayed with and this this
\nwasn’t the women and the <\/p>\n

108
\n00:06:21,800 –> 00:06:25,800
\nchildren of the Ecclesia.
\nThis was the arranging Brethren.<\/p>\n

109
\n00:06:26,300 –> 00:06:28,900
\nThese were the Earl ders of the
\nEphesian. <\/p>\n

110
\n00:06:28,900 –> 00:06:33,100
\nEcclesia Who had traveled 80
\nkilometers in my calculation. <\/p>\n

111
\n00:06:33,100 –> 00:06:35,300
\nThat’s a walk of about twelve
\nhours. <\/p>\n

112
\n00:06:35,900 –> 00:06:39,800
\nA walk of about 12 hours to
\ncatch this final contract with <\/p>\n

113
\n00:06:39,800 –> 00:06:43,900
\nthe Apostle, Paul, because they
\nwould see his face no more, they<\/p>\n

114
\n00:06:43,900 –> 00:06:47,400
\nwanted to have a conversation
\nwith the Apostle Paul and <\/p>\n

115
\n00:06:47,400 –> 00:06:50,700
\nreceive his personal spiritual
\nadvice. <\/p>\n

116
\n00:06:51,900 –> 00:06:54,800
\nI didn’t dismiss it and say,
\nwell, it’s too far to go. <\/p>\n

117
\n00:06:55,800 –> 00:06:59,100
\nThey wanted to connect to the
\nApostle Paul in these final <\/p>\n

118
\n00:06:59,100 –> 00:07:03,400
\nmoments and the record says,
\nthey wet saw and they fill on <\/p>\n

119
\n00:07:03,400 –> 00:07:08,100
\nPaul’s Nick, they embraced and
\nthey kissed him, you know, very <\/p>\n

120
\n00:07:08,200 –> 00:07:10,200
\nreminiscent.
\nWas it between, I think the <\/p>\n

121
\n00:07:10,800 –> 00:07:13,300
\nmeeting between David and
\nJonathan. <\/p>\n

122
\n00:07:13,300 –> 00:07:17,000
\nIn those final moments, first 2
\nSamuel, 20 verse 41, and 42, the<\/p>\n

123
\n00:07:17,000 –> 00:07:21,100
\nrecord says, David arose, out of
\na place toward the South he fell<\/p>\n

124
\n00:07:21,100 –> 00:07:23,800
\non his face.
\nTo the granny bear himself, <\/p>\n

125
\n00:07:24,100 –> 00:07:27,500
\nthree times.
\nAnd they kissed one another and <\/p>\n

126
\n00:07:27,500 –> 00:07:31,800
\nwept until David exceeded, many
\npossible. <\/p>\n

127
\n00:07:31,800 –> 00:07:35,400
\nPaul knows that it’s going to be
\nvery tenuous future in his <\/p>\n

128
\n00:07:35,400 –> 00:07:36,700
\nprogression through to
\nJerusalem. <\/p>\n

129
\n00:07:36,700 –> 00:07:38,600
\nHe’s been warned on many
\noccasions. <\/p>\n

130
\n00:07:39,100 –> 00:07:44,000
\nHe’s a little bit tense and it’s
\nnot dissimilar to David who had <\/p>\n

131
\n00:07:44,000 –> 00:07:46,600
\nbeen anointed as king and now
\nhe’s on the run, through the <\/p>\n

132
\n00:07:46,600 –> 00:07:50,400
\nWilderness and he meets with
\nJonathan, they weep together. <\/p>\n

133
\n00:07:50,600 –> 00:07:55,000
\nThe Friendship is split because
\nof the circumstances and David <\/p>\n

134
\n00:07:55,000 –> 00:07:57,900
\nhis left exiling through through
\nthe Wilderness. <\/p>\n

135
\n00:07:58,700 –> 00:08:01,800
\nThere’s a lot of tension in your
\nboth of those stories tragic <\/p>\n

136
\n00:08:01,800 –> 00:08:05,800
\nsituation.
\nAnd it’s the same here because <\/p>\n

137
\n00:08:05,800 –> 00:08:08,800
\nwe get a bit of an Insight.
\nI think into really the full <\/p>\n

138
\n00:08:08,800 –> 00:08:11,800
\ndimension of the personality,
\nthe Apostle, Paul, and offer. <\/p>\n

139
\n00:08:11,800 –> 00:08:14,700
\nWe thinking of him as a man,
\nthat was independent. <\/p>\n

140
\n00:08:14,700 –> 00:08:17,500
\nHe had an iron, will he had a
\nself determination? <\/p>\n

141
\n00:08:17,600 –> 00:08:19,400
\nHe had courage to preach the
\ngospel. <\/p>\n

142
\n00:08:19,400 –> 00:08:22,100
\nNobody was going to stop him.
\nHe’s going to do his own thing. <\/p>\n

143
\n00:08:22,100 –> 00:08:25,700
\nWell, now we’re seeing the
\nspiritual maturity of the <\/p>\n

144
\n00:08:25,700 –> 00:08:28,800
\nApostle Paul, and his love for
\nbrothers and sisters. <\/p>\n

145
\n00:08:28,800 –> 00:08:32,600
\nAnd that personal contact that
\nhe found so necessary in the <\/p>\n

146
\n00:08:32,600 –> 00:08:34,400
\nstruggle, that he was going.
\nRight? <\/p>\n

147
\n00:08:35,600 –> 00:08:38,500
\nI like to have a coloring in
\nexercise for every X or do I do <\/p>\n

148
\n00:08:38,500 –> 00:08:41,200
\nin the coloring in exercise for
\nus all this morning. <\/p>\n

149
\n00:08:41,200 –> 00:08:43,700
\nI’ll tell you the verses in the
\nphrase is we’re going to pick <\/p>\n

150
\n00:08:43,700 –> 00:08:48,600
\nout the phrases where the
\nApostle Paul connected with his <\/p>\n

151
\n00:08:48,600 –> 00:08:51,700
\nbrothers and sisters.
\nSo of course little phrase. <\/p>\n

152
\n00:08:51,700 –> 00:08:55,400
\nIs he?
\nThe first one is in 20:37, they <\/p>\n

153
\n00:08:55,400 –> 00:08:56,700
\nall wept saw.
\nOkay. <\/p>\n

154
\n00:08:56,700 –> 00:09:00,600
\nThis is a very inclusive phrase
\nin which Paul Luke and the <\/p>\n

155
\n00:09:00,600 –> 00:09:03,400
\nbrothers that were traveling
\nwith them connected to a number <\/p>\n

156
\n00:09:03,400 –> 00:09:03,800
\nof it.
\nClear. <\/p>\n

157
\n00:09:03,900 –> 00:09:06,500
\nAsia’s, as they travel toward
\nJerusalem. <\/p>\n

158
\n00:09:06,700 –> 00:09:11,300
\nSo first 37, they all wept saw
\nverse 38, they accompanied him. <\/p>\n

159
\n00:09:12,000 –> 00:09:15,800
\nThese are all terms of
\nFellowship, chapter 21 and verse<\/p>\n

160
\n00:09:15,800 –> 00:09:18,500
\n1.
\nWe were gotten from them torn <\/p>\n

161
\n00:09:18,500 –> 00:09:21,800
\nfrom them.
\nSo this an emotional context in <\/p>\n

162
\n00:09:21,800 –> 00:09:26,300
\na particular phrase, verse for
\nfinding disciple. <\/p>\n

163
\n00:09:26,300 –> 00:09:29,600
\nSo you can see this is building
\nto the importance of Fellowship <\/p>\n

164
\n00:09:29,900 –> 00:09:33,700
\nverse 5.
\nThey all brought us on our way. <\/p>\n

165
\n00:09:34,300 –> 00:09:36,900
\nEnd of verse 5, we knew down on
\nthe shore. <\/p>\n

166
\n00:09:37,500 –> 00:09:43,100
\nVerse six, we taken our leave.
\nOne of another end of verse 7. <\/p>\n

167
\n00:09:43,200 –> 00:09:46,700
\nWe have bowed with them.
\nEnd of verse 8. <\/p>\n

168
\n00:09:46,700 –> 00:09:51,900
\nWe Abode with him verse 10,
\ntarried there many days you can <\/p>\n

169
\n00:09:51,900 –> 00:09:56,100
\nsee this terminology and then
\nacross the page verse 16 went <\/p>\n

170
\n00:09:56,100 –> 00:09:58,500
\nwith us.
\nAnd finally, in verse 17, in <\/p>\n

171
\n00:09:58,500 –> 00:10:02,100
\nverse 17, the brothers received
\nas gladly she seen this <\/p>\n

172
\n00:10:02,100 –> 00:10:05,200
\nnarrative is not just simply a
\nPersonal Diary of Luke as he <\/p>\n

173
\n00:10:05,200 –> 00:10:08,300
\ncalculating the number of days
\nto Pentecost because Paul want <\/p>\n

174
\n00:10:08,300 –> 00:10:12,200
\nto be in Jerusalem and that time
\nperiod, it’s the inclusiveness <\/p>\n

175
\n00:10:12,500 –> 00:10:16,400
\nand the connectedness with which
\nPaul received And enjoyed the <\/p>\n

176
\n00:10:16,400 –> 00:10:21,800
\ncompany of brothers and sisters.
\nSo the narrative in verse 1 of <\/p>\n

177
\n00:10:21,800 –> 00:10:26,400
\nchapter 21, says it came to pass
\nafter we were gotten from them <\/p>\n

178
\n00:10:26,600 –> 00:10:29,300
\nin the King James, of course, we
\njust gloss over that phrase, but<\/p>\n

179
\n00:10:29,300 –> 00:10:32,500
\nit is quite meaningful.
\nThe Greek word. <\/p>\n

180
\n00:10:33,200 –> 00:10:38,700
\nApostle payoh means to tear
\napart, or to dragged forth some <\/p>\n

181
\n00:10:38,700 –> 00:10:42,800
\ntranslations have wheat or
\nourselves from them because they<\/p>\n

182
\n00:10:42,800 –> 00:10:44,600
\ncan understand.
\nNow, it’s not just we, you know,<\/p>\n

183
\n00:10:44,600 –> 00:10:47,000
\nwe we left them got on the boat
\nwave, goodbye. <\/p>\n

184
\n00:10:47,200 –> 00:10:49,900
\nIt’s we rinsed ourselves from
\nour from our blood. <\/p>\n

185
\n00:10:50,100 –> 00:10:54,200
\nThere’s an assistance right from
\nour contact with them and the <\/p>\n

186
\n00:10:54,200 –> 00:10:58,000
\nsame word is used in the Lord.
\nJesus Christ in the Garden of <\/p>\n

187
\n00:10:58,000 –> 00:11:01,700
\nGethsemane when he withdrew
\nhimself from his disciples and <\/p>\n

188
\n00:11:01,700 –> 00:11:05,900
\npride.
\nSo Luke 22 verse 41 says, and he<\/p>\n

189
\n00:11:05,900 –> 00:11:09,900
\nwas withdrawn from them about a
\nstone’s cast. <\/p>\n

190
\n00:11:10,200 –> 00:11:12,400
\nHe tore himself from those
\ndisciples. <\/p>\n

191
\n00:11:12,500 –> 00:11:16,600
\nHe wanted to remain within that,
\nwithin the context of those men,<\/p>\n

192
\n00:11:16,700 –> 00:11:20,700
\nhe wanted that human companion
\ncompanionship in the The turmoil<\/p>\n

193
\n00:11:20,700 –> 00:11:24,900
\nand the stress of Gethsemane and
\nChrist tore himself from those <\/p>\n

194
\n00:11:24,900 –> 00:11:29,200
\nmen and he went and he pried he
\nwas desperate for that <\/p>\n

195
\n00:11:29,200 –> 00:11:31,700
\nfellowship and that human
\ncompanionship, that all of us <\/p>\n

196
\n00:11:31,700 –> 00:11:35,500
\nknow are important on our
\njourney to the kingdom and the <\/p>\n

197
\n00:11:35,500 –> 00:11:39,500
\nsame sense is used in Luke
\n24:51, when Jesus Christ <\/p>\n

198
\n00:11:39,500 –> 00:11:43,500
\nascended into heaven, Luke says,
\ngoing to pass, while he blessed <\/p>\n

199
\n00:11:43,500 –> 00:11:48,800
\nthem, he was parted from them
\nand went and carried up into <\/p>\n

200
\n00:11:48,800 –> 00:11:50,900
\nheaven.
\nSo Imagine that strong <\/p>\n

201
\n00:11:50,900 –> 00:11:54,200
\nconnection to their lord had
\nwith his, with his men with the <\/p>\n

202
\n00:11:54,208 –> 00:11:57,200
\nmen that he’d went journey
\nthrough for the last three and a<\/p>\n

203
\n00:11:57,200 –> 00:12:00,700
\nhalf years.
\nHe’s now being taken and <\/p>\n

204
\n00:12:00,700 –> 00:12:02,100
\nreceived up into heaven or
\nrecords. <\/p>\n

205
\n00:12:02,100 –> 00:12:06,400
\nHe just started from, you know,
\nfor all of us, I guess we find <\/p>\n

206
\n00:12:06,400 –> 00:12:09,200
\ngoodbyes very difficult and and
\nI remember a particular occasion<\/p>\n

207
\n00:12:09,200 –> 00:12:15,200
\nin Kunming in the Ecclesia 2019
\nand we’ve been there for just a <\/p>\n

208
\n00:12:15,200 –> 00:12:17,400
\nlittle bit over a weekend and
\ndone some studies I was doing <\/p>\n

209
\n00:12:17,400 –> 00:12:21,400
\nthe last talk.
\nAnd I wanted to impart to the <\/p>\n

210
\n00:12:21,400 –> 00:12:23,900
\nbrothers and sisters like a
\nfinal message of comfort. <\/p>\n

211
\n00:12:24,000 –> 00:12:26,800
\nWe didn’t know what was ahead of
\nus, but we’re leaving a little <\/p>\n

212
\n00:12:26,800 –> 00:12:29,200
\ngroup on their own to survive
\nthrough, very difficult, <\/p>\n

213
\n00:12:29,200 –> 00:12:32,700
\ncircumstances and sister Penny
\nwas translating for me and at <\/p>\n

214
\n00:12:32,708 –> 00:12:36,500
\nthe end of the study, I gave a
\nsort of a final goodbye and I <\/p>\n

215
\n00:12:36,500 –> 00:12:39,100
\nteared up and basically I did
\nbreak down and said we’re going <\/p>\n

216
\n00:12:39,100 –> 00:12:40,300
\nto miss you brothers and
\nsisters. <\/p>\n

217
\n00:12:40,500 –> 00:12:42,100
\nWe don’t know what the future
\nholds for all of us. <\/p>\n

218
\n00:12:42,100 –> 00:12:46,200
\nThis 2019 we don’t know when
\nwe’ll be back and you know <\/p>\n

219
\n00:12:46,500 –> 00:12:48,400
\ntrembling voice and tears
\nstreaming. <\/p>\n

220
\n00:12:48,900 –> 00:12:51,100
\nJust a penny say to us, you
\nknow, brother Steven you make it<\/p>\n

221
\n00:12:51,100 –> 00:12:54,200
\nvery hard for the translators to
\ntranslate when you do that. <\/p>\n

222
\n00:12:55,600 –> 00:12:59,000
\nBut for all of us, you know,
\nvery difficult goodbyes and and <\/p>\n

223
\n00:12:59,000 –> 00:13:01,900
\nthe same here, in verse 14, the
\nApostle Paul as he leaves those <\/p>\n

224
\n00:13:01,900 –> 00:13:06,700
\nEphesian elders and it’s the
\nsame for us isn’t brothers and <\/p>\n

225
\n00:13:06,700 –> 00:13:08,000
\nsisters when we leave this
\nplace. <\/p>\n

226
\n00:13:08,000 –> 00:13:10,900
\nSurely.
\nSurely we love to be here with <\/p>\n

227
\n00:13:10,900 –> 00:13:12,200
\none another.
\nWe’re not out the door. <\/p>\n

228
\n00:13:12,200 –> 00:13:14,200
\nAt the end of the meeting.
\nWe want to want to move around <\/p>\n

229
\n00:13:14,200 –> 00:13:16,900
\nand contact our brothers just as
\nyou know the Apostle Paul <\/p>\n

230
\n00:13:17,100 –> 00:13:19,200
\nunderstands that’s the whole
\nmeaning of the Emblems. <\/p>\n

231
\n00:13:19,200 –> 00:13:21,800
\nBecause at the end of 1st
\nCorinthians 11, What’s the <\/p>\n

232
\n00:13:21,800 –> 00:13:25,200
\nphrase that he leaves us?
\nIt’s in the Practical outcome of<\/p>\n

233
\n00:13:25,200 –> 00:13:27,100
\nwhat the emblems mean for us.
\nDoesn’t he say? <\/p>\n

234
\n00:13:28,000 –> 00:13:30,400
\nSo Terry one for another
\nbrothers and sisters. <\/p>\n

235
\n00:13:30,500 –> 00:13:32,400
\nOur first Corinthians 11, you
\nget to the end. <\/p>\n

236
\n00:13:32,600 –> 00:13:35,800
\nSo, this is the meaning of the
\nemblems, our connection, the <\/p>\n

237
\n00:13:35,800 –> 00:13:39,200
\njoy, and the importance of
\nFellowship, Terry one for <\/p>\n

238
\n00:13:39,200 –> 00:13:44,400
\nanother, And we come to this
\nplace as the Apostle Paul did <\/p>\n

239
\n00:13:44,400 –> 00:13:48,700
\nwith the brothers and sisters
\nfor rebuilding for reassurance, <\/p>\n

240
\n00:13:49,000 –> 00:13:52,000
\nfor encouragement for commitment
\nto know that we’re all on the <\/p>\n

241
\n00:13:52,000 –> 00:13:55,200
\nsame journey together, despite
\nall our personal problems and <\/p>\n

242
\n00:13:55,208 –> 00:13:57,700
\ndifficulties, this is where we
\nwant to be in the Kingdom <\/p>\n

243
\n00:13:57,700 –> 00:14:00,600
\ntogether.
\nSo we notice this whole aspect <\/p>\n

244
\n00:14:00,600 –> 00:14:06,300
\nis continued in verse 4 as well.
\nThe little phrase there is and <\/p>\n

245
\n00:14:06,300 –> 00:14:11,500
\nfinding disciples.
\nNo one was waiting on the dock <\/p>\n

246
\n00:14:11,500 –> 00:14:13,700
\nfor the Apostle.
\nPaul for Luke and the Brethren <\/p>\n

247
\n00:14:13,700 –> 00:14:15,900
\nthere.
\nThey actually disembark from the<\/p>\n

248
\n00:14:15,900 –> 00:14:19,100
\nship and they sought out the
\nEcclesia. <\/p>\n

249
\n00:14:19,100 –> 00:14:21,900
\nThey sought out the brothers and
\nsisters and they enjoyed says <\/p>\n

250
\n00:14:21,900 –> 00:14:25,700
\nthe record seven days with them.
\nIt’s almost as though you know <\/p>\n

251
\n00:14:25,700 –> 00:14:28,200
\nit’s a marking point.
\nWe had seven beautiful and <\/p>\n

252
\n00:14:28,200 –> 00:14:31,600
\nlovely days with the with the
\nbrothers and sisters and of <\/p>\n

253
\n00:14:31,608 –> 00:14:34,600
\ncourse we know since when they
\nwere to re embarked on the ship <\/p>\n

254
\n00:14:34,600 –> 00:14:39,600
\nin verse 5, the record says and
\nthey all brought us on our way. <\/p>\n

255
\n00:14:39,600 –> 00:14:43,800
\nI’ve got We’re all circled here
\nbecause the whole Ecclesia now <\/p>\n

256
\n00:14:43,800 –> 00:14:47,200
\ngoes to see the Apostle Paul off
\nand, and Luke puts into his <\/p>\n

257
\n00:14:47,200 –> 00:14:50,500
\nnarrative with the women and
\nwith the children, the whole <\/p>\n

258
\n00:14:50,500 –> 00:14:54,700
\nEcclesia is there in seven days,
\nthe Ecclesia had been <\/p>\n

259
\n00:14:54,700 –> 00:14:57,700
\nconcentrated into one heart, and
\none soul. <\/p>\n

260
\n00:14:58,000 –> 00:15:00,400
\nAnd this whole beautiful
\natmosphere in spirit is we want <\/p>\n

261
\n00:15:00,400 –> 00:15:03,300
\nto go and see the Apostle Paul
\noff on the boat. <\/p>\n

262
\n00:15:03,800 –> 00:15:09,000
\nSo, you can just say goodbye and
\nthey prayed a final prayer, as <\/p>\n

263
\n00:15:09,000 –> 00:15:12,200
\nthe end of verse It says, we
\nnude down on the shore and <\/p>\n

264
\n00:15:12,200 –> 00:15:16,700
\nprobably what an amazing scene
\nout of respect, the whole, <\/p>\n

265
\n00:15:16,700 –> 00:15:20,900
\nEcclesia with women and with
\nchildren assemble, and there’s <\/p>\n

266
\n00:15:20,900 –> 00:15:23,200
\nthe boat.
\nThere’s the harbor, and they’re <\/p>\n

267
\n00:15:23,200 –> 00:15:26,000
\nall surrounding the Apostle
\nPaul, and there’s all these <\/p>\n

268
\n00:15:26,000 –> 00:15:30,200
\ngoodbyes, and then they all go
\nto their knees and they pray for<\/p>\n

269
\n00:15:30,200 –> 00:15:33,300
\na blessing on the Apostle Paul
\nand the work, which was ahead. <\/p>\n

270
\n00:15:34,100 –> 00:15:38,200
\nWhat an amazing scene.
\nThe whole equation Neil <\/p>\n

271
\n00:15:38,200 –> 00:15:44,700
\ntogether.
\nSeven dies of Joyful Fellowship.<\/p>\n

272
\n00:15:44,900 –> 00:15:47,400
\nWhen I was thinking about this,
\nmy mind went back to my early <\/p>\n

273
\n00:15:47,400 –> 00:15:50,000
\ndays in Woodville.
\nWhen we used to have amazing <\/p>\n

274
\n00:15:50,400 –> 00:15:54,500
\nspecial efforts and the spirit
\nof the whole Ecclesia was sort <\/p>\n

275
\n00:15:54,500 –> 00:15:57,800
\nof very excited with vibrant.
\nIt was real and in fact we had a<\/p>\n

276
\n00:15:57,808 –> 00:16:00,500
\nnumber of strategies with which
\nto excite the brothers and <\/p>\n

277
\n00:16:00,500 –> 00:16:04,600
\nsisters and one of them was a
\nwith a map on the back wall was <\/p>\n

278
\n00:16:04,600 –> 00:16:07,800
\na massive mapper world map would
\nhave America over there. <\/p>\n

279
\n00:16:07,900 –> 00:16:12,000
\nWasn’t quite as great as these
\ndays and we do Australia here. <\/p>\n

280
\n00:16:12,600 –> 00:16:17,600
\nAnd there was about 25 dashes
\nbecause we’d be having a <\/p>\n

281
\n00:16:17,600 –> 00:16:21,000
\nvisiting speaker from America,
\n25 dashes from America all the <\/p>\n

282
\n00:16:21,000 –> 00:16:24,600
\nway across to Australia.
\nAnd one brother was designated <\/p>\n

283
\n00:16:24,600 –> 00:16:28,400
\nby the arranging Brethren to be
\nthe move of the plane and he <\/p>\n

284
\n00:16:28,400 –> 00:16:32,700
\nwould move one dash every week,
\nso that half a year, would start<\/p>\n

285
\n00:16:32,700 –> 00:16:35,800
\nup front with the special
\nefforts coming and each week, we<\/p>\n

286
\n00:16:35,800 –> 00:16:39,500
\nwould see that plane move.
\nOne little Dash so, hanging over<\/p>\n

287
\n00:16:39,500 –> 00:16:42,100
\nthe Atlantic for a week or so.
\nSo would have been very <\/p>\n

288
\n00:16:42,100 –> 00:16:44,000
\ninteresting but you know where
\nthey’re exciting. <\/p>\n

289
\n00:16:44,000 –> 00:16:46,900
\nWe’re seeing this, this plane
\ngradually move across. <\/p>\n

290
\n00:16:47,300 –> 00:16:50,000
\nSo the Ecclesia is very fervent,
\nhe’s coming, he’s coming. <\/p>\n

291
\n00:16:50,500 –> 00:16:53,600
\nAnd then, to our amazement, we
\nwould often receive a, cassette <\/p>\n

292
\n00:16:53,600 –> 00:16:57,800
\ntape of the brother who’s given
\na little introductory talk, and <\/p>\n

293
\n00:16:57,800 –> 00:17:00,200
\non a Wednesday night, you know,
\nsome official would come down <\/p>\n

294
\n00:17:00,200 –> 00:17:03,600
\nwith a cassette player, put the
\ncassette tape in and press play,<\/p>\n

295
\n00:17:03,800 –> 00:17:06,800
\nand we’d all listen, and we’d
\nhear this deep voice of a <\/p>\n

296
\n00:17:06,800 –> 00:17:09,200
\nAmerican brother and we tickle
\nyou, okay, little bit Stout, <\/p>\n

297
\n00:17:09,200 –> 00:17:11,000
\nlittle bit overweight, short
\nguy, you know. <\/p>\n

298
\n00:17:11,200 –> 00:17:14,900
\nHa ha ha, and then someone like
\nbrother standees Bill to turn <\/p>\n

299
\n00:17:14,900 –> 00:17:18,000
\nup, you know, six foot eight or
\nsomething and you know, tall and<\/p>\n

300
\n00:17:18,000 –> 00:17:20,000
\nlanky.
\nSo we got all that wrong but <\/p>\n

301
\n00:17:20,000 –> 00:17:23,900
\nthere was a real excitement
\nabout our special effort <\/p>\n

302
\n00:17:23,900 –> 00:17:27,599
\ntogether.
\nAnd of course, in the end of it,<\/p>\n

303
\n00:17:27,700 –> 00:17:31,000
\nlike this situation here, we’d
\nall go down to the airport and <\/p>\n

304
\n00:17:31,000 –> 00:17:34,600
\nwe stand out the dc9 or whatever
\nit was back in those days would <\/p>\n

305
\n00:17:34,600 –> 00:17:37,800
\nstart up and we’d all say
\ngoodbye to the brother and the <\/p>\n

306
\n00:17:37,800 –> 00:17:40,200
\nplaner turn around.
\nYou feel that blast of you know <\/p>\n

307
\n00:17:40,300 –> 00:17:44,300
\nCairo or It was coming out of
\nthe motors and we’d all say <\/p>\n

308
\n00:17:44,300 –> 00:17:46,800
\ngoodbye, where’s that gone
\nbrothers and sisters, you know, <\/p>\n

309
\n00:17:47,500 –> 00:17:50,500
\nnowadays we probably even barely
\nsay hello to the brother. <\/p>\n

310
\n00:17:50,500 –> 00:17:53,900
\nDoes the special effort?
\nSo you know this this whole <\/p>\n

311
\n00:17:53,900 –> 00:17:57,400
\naspect of excitement is is
\nimportant to know those olden <\/p>\n

312
\n00:17:57,400 –> 00:18:01,200
\ndays have gone well and truly
\nbut we need to do our best. <\/p>\n

313
\n00:18:01,200 –> 00:18:04,500
\nI think in our one-on-one
\nconversation with each other to <\/p>\n

314
\n00:18:04,500 –> 00:18:07,700
\ncreate their ask atmosphere here
\nof kindness and compassion and <\/p>\n

315
\n00:18:07,700 –> 00:18:10,900
\nconcern and interest in one eye.
\nThis is what it is about. <\/p>\n

316
\n00:18:12,900 –> 00:18:16,600
\nWell, first six goes on.
\nAnd it says, when we had taken <\/p>\n

317
\n00:18:16,600 –> 00:18:22,100
\nleave one of another taken leave
\none another, we took ship and <\/p>\n

318
\n00:18:22,100 –> 00:18:24,100
\nthey went High.
\nAlright, so there’s the <\/p>\n

319
\n00:18:24,100 –> 00:18:27,400
\ndisconnection there, but I don’t
\nthink the King James does <\/p>\n

320
\n00:18:27,400 –> 00:18:31,100
\nJustice to what the Greek means.
\nSo in in verse 6, it says taken <\/p>\n

321
\n00:18:31,100 –> 00:18:34,700
\nleave one.
\nAnother Ash Posen mayor is the <\/p>\n

322
\n00:18:34,700 –> 00:18:37,800
\nGreek word.
\nThat means to end fold in the <\/p>\n

323
\n00:18:37,800 –> 00:18:40,700
\narms.
\nOkay, so, this wasn’t just a got<\/p>\n

324
\n00:18:40,700 –> 00:18:42,400
\non the boat they left.
\nAnd we went home. <\/p>\n

325
\n00:18:43,100 –> 00:18:45,900
\nNo, they in folded one.
\nAnother in the arms, is the <\/p>\n

326
\n00:18:45,900 –> 00:18:48,400
\nGreek.
\nExactly the same word in, Luke <\/p>\n

327
\n00:18:48,400 –> 00:18:54,300
\n11, verse 40, where Mary saluted
\nElizabeth, again, you know, the <\/p>\n

328
\n00:18:54,300 –> 00:18:56,300
\nKing James.
\nYou know, I love the King James.<\/p>\n

329
\n00:18:56,300 –> 00:19:00,600
\nIt is my, my Bible of preference
\nbecause I’ve had it all my life,<\/p>\n

330
\n00:19:01,100 –> 00:19:03,600
\nbut saluted doesn’t quite give
\nthe connotation of, you know, <\/p>\n

331
\n00:19:03,600 –> 00:19:06,800
\nsaluted and and that was it.
\nNo, not at all. <\/p>\n

332
\n00:19:07,100 –> 00:19:08,700
\nI’ll be marrying.
\nElizabeth. <\/p>\n

333
\n00:19:09,300 –> 00:19:11,800
\nEvery struggling with this whole
\nconcept, you’ve been selected to<\/p>\n

334
\n00:19:11,808 –> 00:19:14,100
\nbe the mother of the Lord Jesus
\nChrist. <\/p>\n

335
\n00:19:14,100 –> 00:19:17,800
\nAs he heads down to contact
\nElizabeth and they in fold one <\/p>\n

336
\n00:19:17,800 –> 00:19:20,700
\nanother in their arms because
\nwell, they had some issues in <\/p>\n

337
\n00:19:20,700 –> 00:19:23,200
\nlife, they wanted to encourage
\none another through. <\/p>\n

338
\n00:19:23,800 –> 00:19:28,400
\nAnd so here this the seclusion
\nthey unfold each other in their <\/p>\n

339
\n00:19:28,400 –> 00:19:31,200
\narms.
\nAgain the same reference is in <\/p>\n

340
\n00:19:31,200 –> 00:19:35,000
\nverse 7.
\nWhen the Apostle Paul comes to <\/p>\n

341
\n00:19:35,100 –> 00:19:39,400
\nptolemaeus which is modern-day
\nacre or Echo, it says End of <\/p>\n

342
\n00:19:39,400 –> 00:19:42,600
\nverse 7, we saluted the
\nBrethren, same word, their to <\/p>\n

343
\n00:19:42,600 –> 00:19:48,300
\nenfold in the arms and this word
\nsaluted, of course in our King <\/p>\n

344
\n00:19:48,300 –> 00:19:52,300
\nJames version is used mostly in
\nRomans chapter 16 which I think <\/p>\n

345
\n00:19:52,300 –> 00:19:54,400
\nis significant.
\nIf, you know, Romans chapter 16.<\/p>\n

346
\n00:19:54,500 –> 00:19:58,700
\nIt’s a list of brothers and
\nsisters for the Apostle Paul <\/p>\n

347
\n00:19:58,700 –> 00:20:01,800
\nsalutes.
\nAnd at the end of Romans, which <\/p>\n

348
\n00:20:01,800 –> 00:20:07,400
\nwe know is a, an expository book
\nInterestingly the Apostle Paul <\/p>\n

349
\n00:20:07,400 –> 00:20:12,400
\nfinishes it with a whole chapter
\non how he wants to enfold his <\/p>\n

350
\n00:20:12,400 –> 00:20:14,200
\nbrothers and sisters in his
\narms. <\/p>\n

351
\n00:20:15,600 –> 00:20:19,800
\nHouston, second Corinthians, 13,
\nverse 12 greet one, another with<\/p>\n

352
\n00:20:19,800 –> 00:20:22,700
\nan holy kiss.
\nWell, of course, really <\/p>\n

353
\n00:20:22,700 –> 00:20:25,000
\ndifficult for us to do that
\nthese days because there are <\/p>\n

354
\n00:20:25,000 –> 00:20:28,700
\ncertain restrictions.
\nSo we sort of developed this <\/p>\n

355
\n00:20:28,700 –> 00:20:32,600
\nstandoffish sort of guys that
\none another as we sort of <\/p>\n

356
\n00:20:32,600 –> 00:20:35,400
\nWelcome each other.
\nNot really always know how to <\/p>\n

357
\n00:20:35,400 –> 00:20:38,500
\nhandle that.
\nAnd it’s very frustrating with <\/p>\n

358
\n00:20:38,500 –> 00:20:42,700
\nthe restrictions that we have,
\nbut I think we need to make sure<\/p>\n

359
\n00:20:43,000 –> 00:20:46,600
\nthat we’re here as much as
\npossible while Can’t necessarily<\/p>\n

360
\n00:20:46,800 –> 00:20:48,700
\nphysically contact and welcome
\neach other. <\/p>\n

361
\n00:20:48,700 –> 00:20:51,700
\nThat we’re actually here and
\nengaging in conversation, <\/p>\n

362
\n00:20:51,700 –> 00:20:56,200
\none-on-one, and not losing that,
\nemotional personal connection <\/p>\n

363
\n00:20:56,200 –> 00:20:57,800
\nwith each other.
\nIt’s really important. <\/p>\n

364
\n00:20:57,800 –> 00:21:00,400
\nAnd I know a lot of a treat
\nEcclesia struggling with this <\/p>\n

365
\n00:21:00,500 –> 00:21:02,700
\nwhole concept of try to get
\ntheir members back. <\/p>\n

366
\n00:21:03,400 –> 00:21:05,900
\nEven, although there are many
\nseats empty and brothers and <\/p>\n

367
\n00:21:05,900 –> 00:21:09,000
\nsisters fighting it convenient,
\nyou know, just to switch on the <\/p>\n

368
\n00:21:09,008 –> 00:21:11,600
\nscreen and switch it off
\nwhenever they they want. <\/p>\n

369
\n00:21:12,300 –> 00:21:15,200
\nSo for the Apostle, Paul just
\nwas very important. <\/p>\n

370
\n00:21:15,300 –> 00:21:19,500
\nShould be for us.
\nAnd again, in verse 7 into verse<\/p>\n

371
\n00:21:19,500 –> 00:21:22,100
\n7, we notice that Luke puts into
\nhis narrative. <\/p>\n

372
\n00:21:22,100 –> 00:21:24,700
\nHe says, look, we Abode one day
\nwith them. <\/p>\n

373
\n00:21:26,600 –> 00:21:29,300
\nI almost see the sense that Luke
\nsays, look, we would have loved <\/p>\n

374
\n00:21:29,300 –> 00:21:32,700
\nto a stop longer than, but we
\njust had one precious day with <\/p>\n

375
\n00:21:32,700 –> 00:21:35,300
\nthem.
\nThat one day was meaningful to <\/p>\n

376
\n00:21:35,300 –> 00:21:38,300
\nus.
\nAnd today is that day for us <\/p>\n

377
\n00:21:38,300 –> 00:21:42,400
\nbrothers and sisters What a
\nprivilege for us to come <\/p>\n

378
\n00:21:42,400 –> 00:21:44,000
\ntogether around the time of the
\nlord. <\/p>\n

379
\n00:21:44,000 –> 00:21:46,100
\nWe know that there are many
\nbrothers and sisters throughout <\/p>\n

380
\n00:21:46,100 –> 00:21:50,000
\nthe world because of covid
\nrestrictions who cannot do that.<\/p>\n

381
\n00:21:50,000 –> 00:21:52,800
\nI think the lesson.
\nSurely that is emerging for all <\/p>\n

382
\n00:21:52,800 –> 00:21:56,200
\nof us is the preciousness of
\nfellowship and the opportunity <\/p>\n

383
\n00:21:56,200 –> 00:21:57,400
\nto get together with one
\nanother. <\/p>\n

384
\n00:22:00,300 –> 00:22:02,200
\nSo let’s not be apathetic about
\nit. <\/p>\n

385
\n00:22:02,200 –> 00:22:05,400
\nLet’s not find ourselves
\ncomfortable in our homes and the<\/p>\n

386
\n00:22:05,400 –> 00:22:08,900
\nApostle Paul says, do not
\nforsake the assembling of <\/p>\n

387
\n00:22:08,900 –> 00:22:11,900
\nyourselves together as much as
\npossible brothers and sisters. <\/p>\n

388
\n00:22:12,100 –> 00:22:14,400
\nWe want to take hold of that
\nopportunity. <\/p>\n

389
\n00:22:15,900 –> 00:22:20,500
\nPaul continues on his journey,
\nand in verse 8, the record <\/p>\n

390
\n00:22:20,500 –> 00:22:24,800
\nintroduces us to a person uses.
\nWe came to seize rear-engine to <\/p>\n

391
\n00:22:24,800 –> 00:22:26,900
\nthe house of Philip, the
\nEvangelist one of the seven and <\/p>\n

392
\n00:22:26,900 –> 00:22:29,900
\nAbode with him, we just want to
\nstop for a little minute. <\/p>\n

393
\n00:22:31,000 –> 00:22:35,200
\nPhilip who is Philip the
\nEvangelist? <\/p>\n

394
\n00:22:35,200 –> 00:22:38,500
\nIt wasn’t the Apostle Philip, it
\nwas the Evangelist. <\/p>\n

395
\n00:22:38,500 –> 00:22:43,600
\nRemember his roll back in Acts 6
\nwas to take care of the Widow’s <\/p>\n

396
\n00:22:43,600 –> 00:22:47,800
\nto support those that were only
\nand who weren’t financially able<\/p>\n

397
\n00:22:47,800 –> 00:22:53,000
\nto support themselves, but
\nObviously, he was enthusiastic <\/p>\n

398
\n00:22:53,000 –> 00:22:56,600
\nfor the truth, he’s energetic.
\nHe has a fervor, he has a Zeal <\/p>\n

399
\n00:22:56,600 –> 00:22:59,700
\nbecause he’s called the
\nEvangelist. <\/p>\n

400
\n00:23:01,100 –> 00:23:03,300
\nIt’s the first time that word
\noccurs. <\/p>\n

401
\n00:23:03,300 –> 00:23:04,900
\nYou know what an evangelist
\nmeans? <\/p>\n

402
\n00:23:04,900 –> 00:23:10,200
\nA bringer of good news as
\nsomeone who promotes the gospel <\/p>\n

403
\n00:23:10,200 –> 00:23:14,700
\nand advantages are bringer of
\ngood news, he’s the only person <\/p>\n

404
\n00:23:14,700 –> 00:23:18,600
\nin the Bible called by that
\ntitle Philip, the Evangelist <\/p>\n

405
\n00:23:18,600 –> 00:23:22,600
\nonly person, the Bible, And the
\nreason because he had such a <\/p>\n

406
\n00:23:22,600 –> 00:23:26,300
\npositive love of the Gospel.
\nSo you’ll know the back in the <\/p>\n

407
\n00:23:26,300 –> 00:23:29,600
\nbook of Acts Philip was sent
\ndown to preach to the Ethiopian <\/p>\n

408
\n00:23:29,600 –> 00:23:30,900
\neunuch.
\nRemember, he’s on a chariot, <\/p>\n

409
\n00:23:30,900 –> 00:23:36,000
\nPhilip goes down their acts, 8
\nverse. 39 is the final finish of<\/p>\n

410
\n00:23:36,000 –> 00:23:40,900
\nthat story and You Know How It
\nEnds, the Ethiopian eunuch went <\/p>\n

411
\n00:23:40,900 –> 00:23:45,300
\non his way.
\nRejoicing. <\/p>\n

412
\n00:23:46,100 –> 00:23:49,100
\nAnd I think that beautifully
\ncrystallizes the whole <\/p>\n

413
\n00:23:49,300 –> 00:23:52,200
\npersonality of Philip, the
\nEvangelist here and out of that <\/p>\n

414
\n00:23:52,200 –> 00:23:57,600
\nChariot explained, Isaiah 53,
\nand the Ethiopian eunuch left <\/p>\n

415
\n00:23:57,600 –> 00:24:04,200
\nrejoicing, because he was Philip
\na bringer of good news, is only <\/p>\n

416
\n00:24:04,200 –> 00:24:08,000
\ntwo other references to
\nevangelist in the Bible. <\/p>\n

417
\n00:24:08,800 –> 00:24:14,100
\nEphesians 4 and verse 11.
\nWhere Paul says God is What it <\/p>\n

418
\n00:24:14,100 –> 00:24:17,100
\nin the occlusion, some pasta,
\nsome teachers, some evangelist. <\/p>\n

419
\n00:24:17,300 –> 00:24:19,600
\nHe’s talking about the different
\nroles and attributes that we <\/p>\n

420
\n00:24:19,600 –> 00:24:22,900
\nbring into the occlusion.
\nWe may not be a past, we may not<\/p>\n

421
\n00:24:22,900 –> 00:24:26,400
\nbe a teacher.
\nWe may be a person who imparts <\/p>\n

422
\n00:24:26,400 –> 00:24:30,700
\ngood positive news to people to
\ntry and lift up their heads and <\/p>\n

423
\n00:24:30,700 –> 00:24:33,900
\nthey go away rejoicing.
\nMaybe that’s who we are and the <\/p>\n

424
\n00:24:33,900 –> 00:24:37,200
\nother one is second Timothy 4
\nand verse 5 where Paul says, <\/p>\n

425
\n00:24:37,600 –> 00:24:43,200
\nwatch all things do the work of
\nan evangelist and I think <\/p>\n

426
\n00:24:43,200 –> 00:24:46,900
\nBrothers do this is in 2020.
\nThis is who we can become <\/p>\n

427
\n00:24:47,300 –> 00:24:50,800
\nespecially with the people that
\nwe mix in the world where that’s<\/p>\n

428
\n00:24:50,800 –> 00:24:53,400
\nat Uni, whether it’s in our
\nplace of employment, whether <\/p>\n

429
\n00:24:53,400 –> 00:24:55,600
\nit’s a mother’s group that we
\nmeet with. <\/p>\n

430
\n00:24:56,300 –> 00:24:59,400
\nThere are people who are anxious
\nabout where this is all going, <\/p>\n

431
\n00:24:59,400 –> 00:25:02,100
\nwhat it means in life and we can
\nbe the bringer of good news to <\/p>\n

432
\n00:25:02,100 –> 00:25:05,800
\nsay that they’re bigger better,
\nbrighter world that Jesus Christ<\/p>\n

433
\n00:25:05,800 –> 00:25:09,100
\nis bringing and he’s got the
\nsolution to every single problem<\/p>\n

434
\n00:25:09,300 –> 00:25:11,800
\nthat all these governments and
\nauthorities are trying to handle<\/p>\n

435
\n00:25:11,900 –> 00:25:15,200
\nand they’re not doing very well.
\nWe can be The bearers of good <\/p>\n

436
\n00:25:15,200 –> 00:25:18,700
\nnews.
\nWell, Luke also notes, he adds <\/p>\n

437
\n00:25:18,700 –> 00:25:24,600
\nthis little point, one of the
\nseven, one of the seven, So each<\/p>\n

438
\n00:25:24,600 –> 00:25:29,700
\ntracking back, 20 years to an
\nevent that devastated. <\/p>\n

439
\n00:25:29,700 –> 00:25:35,500
\nPhilip, And of course that event
\nwas the untimely death of <\/p>\n

440
\n00:25:35,500 –> 00:25:40,800
\nPhillips best friend.
\nIt was Stephen, remember the <\/p>\n

441
\n00:25:40,800 –> 00:25:44,100
\nwhole, seven, Philip, and steep,
\nthey’re all grouped together. <\/p>\n

442
\n00:25:44,100 –> 00:25:48,000
\nThese were Brethren, who bonded
\nand know what vibrant in, not <\/p>\n

443
\n00:25:48,000 –> 00:25:50,700
\nonly caring for the widows.
\nBut disseminating, a distilling,<\/p>\n

444
\n00:25:50,700 –> 00:25:54,600
\nthe truth of God’s message.
\nPhilip would have been if he was<\/p>\n

445
\n00:25:54,600 –> 00:25:58,300
\none of the seven affected by the
\nuntimely, death of Stephen <\/p>\n

446
\n00:25:58,300 –> 00:26:04,100
\nShattered by Who caused that he
\ncalls that debt world record, <\/p>\n

447
\n00:26:04,100 –> 00:26:09,200
\nsays they laid their coats at
\nthe feet of a man called saw in <\/p>\n

448
\n00:26:09,200 –> 00:26:13,200
\nchapter 22 verse 20.
\nPaul says, when the blood of <\/p>\n

449
\n00:26:13,200 –> 00:26:17,000
\nStephen was shed, I consented to
\nhis death. <\/p>\n

450
\n00:26:17,600 –> 00:26:20,300
\nSo this is very interesting
\nbecause now, for the first time,<\/p>\n

451
\n00:26:20,300 –> 00:26:22,900
\nit appears this man saw the
\napart. <\/p>\n

452
\n00:26:22,900 –> 00:26:28,200
\nNow, the Apostle Paul comes into
\nthe house of Philip and the <\/p>\n

453
\n00:26:28,200 –> 00:26:31,500
\nvalue of Fellowship brothers and
\nsisters is in repair, isn’t it <\/p>\n

454
\n00:26:31,600 –> 00:26:36,700
\nreconciliation rebuilding
\nhelping supporting and here, I <\/p>\n

455
\n00:26:36,700 –> 00:26:40,600
\njust see this lovely narrative
\nby Luke where he says this was a<\/p>\n

456
\n00:26:40,600 –> 00:26:44,600
\nvery interesting connection with
\nthe Apostle Paul and was Philip <\/p>\n

457
\n00:26:44,600 –> 00:26:49,200
\nthe Evangelist where the past
\nwas forgotten and the future <\/p>\n

458
\n00:26:49,700 –> 00:26:55,000
\nwas, of course developed and
\nhighlighted Well, not only that <\/p>\n

459
\n00:26:55,000 –> 00:26:58,500
\nbut we know it’s about Philip.
\nThere’s another little addition <\/p>\n

460
\n00:26:58,500 –> 00:27:01,100
\nin verse 9 says, he had four
\ndaughters. <\/p>\n

461
\n00:27:01,300 –> 00:27:04,700
\nThey were prophetesses, and I
\nthink it’s a beautiful because <\/p>\n

462
\n00:27:04,700 –> 00:27:08,200
\nPhilip obviously is a bringer of
\ngood news but he’s not. <\/p>\n

463
\n00:27:08,200 –> 00:27:12,400
\nSo busy outside.
\nThe realm of his family that he <\/p>\n

464
\n00:27:12,400 –> 00:27:17,700
\ndidn’t passion eyes, his own
\nfamily and here’s the evidence <\/p>\n

465
\n00:27:17,700 –> 00:27:19,800
\nof, you know, gospel
\nProclamation and a beautiful <\/p>\n

466
\n00:27:19,800 –> 00:27:24,700
\nform his daughters Was so
\nenraptured with the truth. <\/p>\n

467
\n00:27:24,700 –> 00:27:29,200
\nThey dedicated themselves to
\nserving God Beyond marriage. <\/p>\n

468
\n00:27:29,900 –> 00:27:33,500
\nThey weren’t married.
\nAnd they were devoted to the <\/p>\n

469
\n00:27:33,500 –> 00:27:37,900
\ntruth.
\nI guess that’s a blessing. <\/p>\n

470
\n00:27:37,900 –> 00:27:40,300
\nI’m not quite sure.
\nI sort of picture myself, you <\/p>\n

471
\n00:27:40,300 –> 00:27:42,700
\nknow, the birth of the fourth
\ndaughter, and someone tells <\/p>\n

472
\n00:27:42,700 –> 00:27:45,700
\nPhillip it’s another daughter.
\nAnd he says, I’ve already got <\/p>\n

473
\n00:27:45,700 –> 00:27:50,500
\nthree, but four daughters, go
\nover son and I’m not quite sure <\/p>\n

474
\n00:27:50,500 –> 00:27:52,700
\nin family life where daughters
\nwere, the daughters are easier <\/p>\n

475
\n00:27:52,700 –> 00:27:54,800
\nto bring up than Sons.
\nI’m not quite sure. <\/p>\n

476
\n00:27:55,000 –> 00:27:56,800
\nFamily.
\nLife doesn’t always necessarily <\/p>\n

477
\n00:27:56,800 –> 00:28:00,100
\ngo the way we think it will go,
\nbut I just think it’s very <\/p>\n

478
\n00:28:00,100 –> 00:28:03,900
\nwonderful that Philip here.
\nThe Avengers was able to involve<\/p>\n

479
\n00:28:04,000 –> 00:28:07,000
\nhis daughters, his family in
\nTruth and certainly that <\/p>\n

480
\n00:28:07,000 –> 00:28:10,500
\npositive spirit that he had as
\nan individual carried through to<\/p>\n

481
\n00:28:10,500 –> 00:28:12,100
\nthose that were very close to
\nhim. <\/p>\n

482
\n00:28:13,300 –> 00:28:16,200
\nWell, verse 10, of course,
\nthere’s an introduction to <\/p>\n

483
\n00:28:16,200 –> 00:28:19,100
\nanother man.
\nVerse 10 says, we tarry there, <\/p>\n

484
\n00:28:19,100 –> 00:28:22,600
\nmany days and there came from
\nJudea a certain Prophet named <\/p>\n

485
\n00:28:22,600 –> 00:28:25,500
\nagabus.
\nWhy agabus I mean this for <\/p>\n

486
\n00:28:25,700 –> 00:28:30,700
\nprophetesses here but surely
\ncould have explained to the <\/p>\n

487
\n00:28:30,708 –> 00:28:33,700
\nApostle Paul what the future
\nheld for him. <\/p>\n

488
\n00:28:35,900 –> 00:28:39,000
\nAnd in fact, the Apostle, Paul
\nalready knew that in a sense, <\/p>\n

489
\n00:28:39,000 –> 00:28:42,200
\nbecause if you look across the
\npage, ship to 20 and verse 22. <\/p>\n

490
\n00:28:42,200 –> 00:28:46,900
\nAnd 23, Paul says, behold I go
\nBound in the spirit to Jerusalem<\/p>\n

491
\n00:28:46,900 –> 00:28:50,400
\nnot knowing the things that
\nbefore me save the Holy Spirit <\/p>\n

492
\n00:28:50,400 –> 00:28:53,800
\nWitnesses in every city that
\nbonds and afflictions are white <\/p>\n

493
\n00:28:53,800 –> 00:28:57,400
\nor abide.
\nMe and Paul already knew that. <\/p>\n

494
\n00:28:57,400 –> 00:29:01,200
\nSo why send agabus here in verse
\n10? <\/p>\n

495
\n00:29:01,200 –> 00:29:05,500
\nWell, because agabus was an old
\nfriend of the Also pulls back in<\/p>\n

496
\n00:29:05,500 –> 00:29:09,400
\nAction, he’s mentioned back in
\nActs 11 and verse 28, ten years <\/p>\n

497
\n00:29:09,400 –> 00:29:12,700
\nago.
\nHe warned of a famine that was <\/p>\n

498
\n00:29:12,700 –> 00:29:16,800
\ngoing to Encompass Jerusalem and
\nobviously impact on the Widow’s.<\/p>\n

499
\n00:29:17,400 –> 00:29:19,400
\nThe brothers and sisters there
\nin Jerusalem. <\/p>\n

500
\n00:29:19,700 –> 00:29:23,400
\nAnd the record back there, says
\nthat Paul and Barnabas who were <\/p>\n

501
\n00:29:23,400 –> 00:29:26,900
\nmembers of the Antioch, Ecclesia
\ncame to Jerusalem because I just<\/p>\n

502
\n00:29:26,900 –> 00:29:30,000
\ntaken up a collection, they came
\ndown to Jerusalem and handed <\/p>\n

503
\n00:29:30,000 –> 00:29:33,600
\nthat over to the Jerusalem.
\nEcclesia that was ten years ago <\/p>\n

504
\n00:29:33,700 –> 00:29:36,700
\nand Here is agabus again, and
\nnow very beautifully. <\/p>\n

505
\n00:29:36,800 –> 00:29:41,300
\nPaul is bringing a large
\ndonation from all the Ecclesia <\/p>\n

506
\n00:29:41,300 –> 00:29:45,200
\nas with the Brethren to the poor
\nbrothers and sisters there in <\/p>\n

507
\n00:29:45,200 –> 00:29:47,600
\nJerusalem.
\nPaul in one sense is circling, <\/p>\n

508
\n00:29:47,800 –> 00:29:50,700
\nhe’s completing the task.
\nHe set himself to do. <\/p>\n

509
\n00:29:50,700 –> 00:29:54,500
\nBecause in some senses, he was
\nthe instigator of perhaps, some <\/p>\n

510
\n00:29:54,500 –> 00:29:57,600
\nof the issues that those widows
\nwould have had to experience in <\/p>\n

511
\n00:29:57,600 –> 00:30:01,900
\nJerusalem because Paul carted
\noff many of the brothers In the <\/p>\n

512
\n00:30:01,900 –> 00:30:04,800
\ntruth prior to his conversion.
\nSo there was obviously a <\/p>\n

513
\n00:30:04,808 –> 00:30:07,700
\npractical flow on of the
\ndifficulty that he created. <\/p>\n

514
\n00:30:07,700 –> 00:30:11,200
\nSo, cycling around here is
\nagabus again, and Paul is coming<\/p>\n

515
\n00:30:11,200 –> 00:30:13,400
\nto complete.
\nThe task that he set himself to <\/p>\n

516
\n00:30:13,400 –> 00:30:17,000
\ndo.
\nWell after this as we know <\/p>\n

517
\n00:30:17,000 –> 00:30:22,200
\nagabus takes his his belt and
\nbinds it and the record is that <\/p>\n

518
\n00:30:22,300 –> 00:30:26,400
\neverybody was upset in verse 12.
\nWhen we heard these things we <\/p>\n

519
\n00:30:26,400 –> 00:30:29,100
\nand they have that place is Paul
\ndon’t go to Jerusalem. <\/p>\n

520
\n00:30:30,300 –> 00:30:35,300
\nAnd Paul says, in verse 13, what
\nmay need to weep and break my <\/p>\n

521
\n00:30:35,300 –> 00:30:39,000
\nheart.
\nJust think of that situation. <\/p>\n

522
\n00:30:39,100 –> 00:30:42,200
\nHere’s dr.
\nLuke here’s these Faithful Men <\/p>\n

523
\n00:30:42,200 –> 00:30:44,900
\nto the traveled with the Apostle
\nPaul for many, many weeks, <\/p>\n

524
\n00:30:45,600 –> 00:30:48,900
\nencouraging talking to
\ncollecting. <\/p>\n

525
\n00:30:49,800 –> 00:30:53,400
\nAnd now, all of them are
\ndisplaying strong emotion. <\/p>\n

526
\n00:30:53,400 –> 00:30:55,000
\nIt’s going to pull.
\nDon’t go Paul. <\/p>\n

527
\n00:30:55,000 –> 00:30:59,400
\nThis is not a good decision.
\nAnd there’s these strong <\/p>\n

528
\n00:30:59,400 –> 00:31:03,900
\nemotional endearments weeping
\nbreaking my heart. <\/p>\n

529
\n00:31:03,900 –> 00:31:05,100
\nThere’s a lot of pressure on
\nPaul. <\/p>\n

530
\n00:31:05,100 –> 00:31:06,800
\nBasically.
\nThe brothers were saying, take <\/p>\n

531
\n00:31:06,800 –> 00:31:08,800
\nit.
\nEasy pull, take it easy. <\/p>\n

532
\n00:31:10,800 –> 00:31:13,800
\nIt was almost a pattern here.
\nWe’ll there is a pattern between<\/p>\n

533
\n00:31:13,800 –> 00:31:16,800
\nthe the last few hours of the
\nLord’s life, as he began in the <\/p>\n

534
\n00:31:16,800 –> 00:31:19,100
\nupper room and worked his way
\nthrough to the cross. <\/p>\n

535
\n00:31:19,200 –> 00:31:23,200
\nIt almost parallels here.
\nThus this experience with the <\/p>\n

536
\n00:31:23,200 –> 00:31:28,200
\nApostle Paul and you remember it
\nwas Peter Peter, the record says<\/p>\n

537
\n00:31:28,200 –> 00:31:32,500
\nit took him and he began to
\nrebuke Jesus saying, be it far <\/p>\n

538
\n00:31:32,500 –> 00:31:35,400
\nfrom the Lord.
\nThis shall not be up to because <\/p>\n

539
\n00:31:35,400 –> 00:31:38,600
\nJesus said he is going to
\nJerusalem and Peter says in the <\/p>\n

540
\n00:31:38,608 –> 00:31:41,200
\nGreek Lord, take pity on
\nyourself. <\/p>\n

541
\n00:31:42,100 –> 00:31:45,400
\nTake pity on yourself in the
\nLord knowing where he could go <\/p>\n

542
\n00:31:45,400 –> 00:31:46,900
\nwith that.
\nThought process, cabinet <\/p>\n

543
\n00:31:46,900 –> 00:31:49,500
\nimmediately and rebuked.
\nPeter and said, no, I’m <\/p>\n

544
\n00:31:49,500 –> 00:31:52,800
\ndetermined to go to Jerusalem.
\nThis almost an interplay of that<\/p>\n

545
\n00:31:52,800 –> 00:31:58,500
\nwhole circumstance here.
\nAnd, in fact, verse 24, it’s <\/p>\n

546
\n00:31:58,500 –> 00:32:00,300
\nalmost an echo.
\nThe words of the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n

547
\n00:32:00,300 –> 00:32:02,600
\nChrist.
\nIsn’t verse 24 of chapter, 20, <\/p>\n

548
\n00:32:02,900 –> 00:32:06,600
\nchapter 20, verse 24.
\nPaul says, None of these things <\/p>\n

549
\n00:32:06,600 –> 00:32:09,100
\nmove me.
\nI don’t count my life. <\/p>\n

550
\n00:32:09,100 –> 00:32:13,000
\nDear unto myself, I’m going to
\nfinish my course with joy and <\/p>\n

551
\n00:32:13,000 –> 00:32:15,600
\nthe ministry that I’ve received
\nthe Lord Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n

552
\n00:32:15,700 –> 00:32:19,700
\nPaul is going to Jerusalem to
\nfinish his course with joy and <\/p>\n

553
\n00:32:19,700 –> 00:32:22,000
\nwas the Lord Jesus Christ and
\nyou exactly the same. <\/p>\n

554
\n00:32:22,100 –> 00:32:25,800
\nHe told Peter get behind me.
\nAnd then in his final moment, <\/p>\n

555
\n00:32:25,800 –> 00:32:29,000
\nLord receive my spirit and that
\nwas said with joy. <\/p>\n

556
\n00:32:29,000 –> 00:32:32,500
\nIt was the completion of that
\ntask there in Jerusalem. <\/p>\n

557
\n00:32:33,700 –> 00:32:36,400
\nWell, you know, this causes bit
\nof a problem because you know, <\/p>\n

558
\n00:32:36,400 –> 00:32:39,800
\nwas Paul being silly about this.
\nI mean, he’s been warned in <\/p>\n

559
\n00:32:39,800 –> 00:32:42,000
\nevery city that this is going to
\nhappen. <\/p>\n

560
\n00:32:43,900 –> 00:32:46,900
\nWell, they were warning, Paul.
\nThey were just pre-empting Paul <\/p>\n

561
\n00:32:46,900 –> 00:32:49,400
\nthat this would not be an easy
\nsituation. <\/p>\n

562
\n00:32:50,300 –> 00:32:54,000
\nPaul wasn’t actually forbidden
\nof the spirit itself because <\/p>\n

563
\n00:32:54,000 –> 00:32:57,900
\nI’ll give you the chapter where
\nhe was Acts 16, Verse 6. <\/p>\n

564
\n00:32:57,900 –> 00:33:01,400
\nAnd 7 says, you remember the
\nsituation who’s going to go up <\/p>\n

565
\n00:33:01,400 –> 00:33:05,200
\ninto by thinner and to Asia, and
\nthe record says, he was <\/p>\n

566
\n00:33:05,200 –> 00:33:07,800
\nforbidden of the spirit to
\npreach in Asia. <\/p>\n

567
\n00:33:07,900 –> 00:33:10,700
\nHe has saved to gonna buy thin
\nair, but the spirit could not <\/p>\n

568
\n00:33:10,700 –> 00:33:12,500
\nallow it.
\nSo, there’s a situation where <\/p>\n

569
\n00:33:12,500 –> 00:33:16,600
\nthat was very, very clear, what
\nthese prophets and the message <\/p>\n

570
\n00:33:16,600 –> 00:33:19,700
\nis saying, is Paul, if you
\ncontinue to Jerusalem, life is <\/p>\n

571
\n00:33:19,700 –> 00:33:22,500
\ngoing to get Difficult for you.
\nIt’s going to be very difficult.<\/p>\n

572
\n00:33:23,200 –> 00:33:25,100
\nThere are saying be prepared,
\nyou know, that’s the same <\/p>\n

573
\n00:33:25,100 –> 00:33:26,900
\nadvice.
\nWe give young people isn’t as <\/p>\n

574
\n00:33:26,900 –> 00:33:28,800
\nthey set out on the course of
\nlife. <\/p>\n

575
\n00:33:29,300 –> 00:33:32,600
\nAnd as they’re baptized, we
\ndon’t we don’t just say them <\/p>\n

576
\n00:33:32,600 –> 00:33:34,600
\nwhat, you know, life in the
\ntruth is going to be wonderful. <\/p>\n

577
\n00:33:34,600 –> 00:33:37,000
\nIt’s going to be a garden of
\nroses. <\/p>\n

578
\n00:33:37,100 –> 00:33:39,800
\nEverything will smooth out,
\nyou’ll become wealthy, you’ll <\/p>\n

579
\n00:33:39,800 –> 00:33:41,700
\nhave a great job.
\nWe don’t say any of that, of <\/p>\n

580
\n00:33:41,700 –> 00:33:44,300
\ncourse, when our young people
\nare baptized or they’re going <\/p>\n

581
\n00:33:44,300 –> 00:33:46,000
\nthrough tradition, we say to
\nthem. <\/p>\n

582
\n00:33:46,000 –> 00:33:49,200
\nLook, this is a big decision.
\nIt’s a fantastic decision. <\/p>\n

583
\n00:33:49,200 –> 00:33:52,400
\nIt’s a wonderful Decision but
\nrealize that you will have <\/p>\n

584
\n00:33:52,400 –> 00:33:55,500
\nproblems that you need to do
\nwith, and that’s exactly what is<\/p>\n

585
\n00:33:55,500 –> 00:33:59,200
\nhappening here.
\nWell pull. <\/p>\n

586
\n00:33:59,200 –> 00:34:02,000
\nI guess could have retracted.
\nHe could have said look, yeah, <\/p>\n

587
\n00:34:02,000 –> 00:34:04,100
\nsure enough.
\nI’m not going to Jerusalem you <\/p>\n

588
\n00:34:04,100 –> 00:34:08,100
\nguys continue on the way with
\nthe donation, but the Apostle <\/p>\n

589
\n00:34:08,100 –> 00:34:12,699
\nPaul knowing the value of
\nFellowship, wanted to personally<\/p>\n

590
\n00:34:12,699 –> 00:34:15,699
\ngo to Jerusalem and give this to
\nthe Ecclesia. <\/p>\n

591
\n00:34:16,199 –> 00:34:19,699
\nHe was not unconnected by the
\npersonal problems that others <\/p>\n

592
\n00:34:19,699 –> 00:34:22,300
\nwere facing and perhaps which he
\noriginally had been a <\/p>\n

593
\n00:34:22,308 –> 00:34:26,800
\ncontributor So Paul’s mission in
\nlife, wasn’t just simply to <\/p>\n

594
\n00:34:26,800 –> 00:34:29,400
\npreach the gospel.
\nWe might have imagined that it <\/p>\n

595
\n00:34:29,400 –> 00:34:33,400
\nwas also to take personal care
\nof brothers and sisters that <\/p>\n

596
\n00:34:33,400 –> 00:34:37,100
\nwere struggling.
\nI wonder whether you know, we <\/p>\n

597
\n00:34:37,100 –> 00:34:40,800
\nneed to do a sort of a recap on
\nour own laws, their own attitude<\/p>\n

598
\n00:34:41,000 –> 00:34:43,000
\nas to what is our level of
\nservice. <\/p>\n

599
\n00:34:44,600 –> 00:34:47,100
\nSometimes when we hear a person
\nis going through a difficult <\/p>\n

600
\n00:34:47,100 –> 00:34:48,500
\ntime.
\nWe think, you know what, I’ll do<\/p>\n

601
\n00:34:48,500 –> 00:34:50,800
\nsomething Brave.
\nI’ll reach for my phone and send<\/p>\n

602
\n00:34:50,800 –> 00:34:53,699
\nan SMS message and that’s all we
\never do. <\/p>\n

603
\n00:34:55,199 –> 00:34:58,200
\nAnd then we say, look, you know,
\nI find it difficult to get to <\/p>\n

604
\n00:34:58,207 –> 00:35:01,100
\nthe meeting.
\nI know I can’t get into an <\/p>\n

605
\n00:35:01,100 –> 00:35:03,900
\nair-conditioned car and I can’t
\ngo to an air-conditioned Hall <\/p>\n

606
\n00:35:03,900 –> 00:35:06,900
\nand I can’t sit at the meeting.
\nI’d rather recline on my couch, <\/p>\n

607
\n00:35:08,200 –> 00:35:11,300
\nyou know, we need to maybe recap
\nand rethink about our lives and <\/p>\n

608
\n00:35:11,300 –> 00:35:14,200
\nwhat our attitude is to one
\nanother. <\/p>\n

609
\n00:35:14,800 –> 00:35:17,400
\nFor Paul, it was about personal
\ncommitment, was about <\/p>\n

610
\n00:35:17,400 –> 00:35:21,400
\none-on-one, was kept caring for
\nhis brothers and sisters, and <\/p>\n

611
\n00:35:21,400 –> 00:35:27,000
\nyou notice across the page in
\nverse 16, His brothers went from<\/p>\n

612
\n00:35:27,000 –> 00:35:30,300
\ncaesarea, they were so connected
\nto Paul. <\/p>\n

613
\n00:35:30,500 –> 00:35:33,300
\nThey were so supportive of all
\nthey didn’t say see you, Paul <\/p>\n

614
\n00:35:33,300 –> 00:35:35,700
\nbest of luck in Jerusalem.
\nNo. <\/p>\n

615
\n00:35:36,000 –> 00:35:40,800
\nVerse 16 says, they’re went with
\nus certain of the Disciples of <\/p>\n

616
\n00:35:40,800 –> 00:35:44,000
\ncaesarea.
\nThat’s 100 case. <\/p>\n

617
\n00:35:45,200 –> 00:35:50,500
\nIt’s a 23 hour walk.
\nSo they were, they were <\/p>\n

618
\n00:35:50,508 –> 00:35:52,700
\ndefinitely once Paul made the
\ndecision, they were coming <\/p>\n

619
\n00:35:52,700 –> 00:35:56,700
\nalongside Paul and so we walk
\nwith you through this difficult <\/p>\n

620
\n00:35:56,700 –> 00:36:02,200
\ntime and then the record says,
\nthey conducted Paul 21. <\/p>\n

621
\n00:36:02,600 –> 00:36:04,000
\nThe King James is not quite
\ncorrect. <\/p>\n

622
\n00:36:04,000 –> 00:36:07,700
\nIt’s not brought with them.
\nIt’s they conducted Paul to one <\/p>\n

623
\n00:36:07,700 –> 00:36:09,800
\nnation of Cyprus and old
\ndisciples. <\/p>\n

624
\n00:36:09,800 –> 00:36:12,900
\nHe came and he stopped with
\nNason who was in Jerusalem. <\/p>\n

625
\n00:36:13,900 –> 00:36:15,700
\nComment, there is he’s an old
\ndisciple. <\/p>\n

626
\n00:36:15,900 –> 00:36:19,400
\nDifferent translation says one
\nof the first disciples This is <\/p>\n

627
\n00:36:19,400 –> 00:36:23,300
\nbelieved that since the early
\ndays Rotherham says and early <\/p>\n

628
\n00:36:23,400 –> 00:36:26,200
\ndisciple.
\nSo he is perhaps an original <\/p>\n

629
\n00:36:26,200 –> 00:36:30,300
\nconvert prior to the crucifixion
\nof the Lord Jesus Christ, and <\/p>\n

630
\n00:36:30,300 –> 00:36:33,900
\nbrother, mate nation is still
\nfaithful. <\/p>\n

631
\n00:36:35,300 –> 00:36:37,900
\nHe’s an early disciple.
\nHe’s an old disciple little <\/p>\n

632
\n00:36:37,900 –> 00:36:40,600
\nphrase that I’ve got here.
\nIt says, don’t grow cold, as you<\/p>\n

633
\n00:36:40,600 –> 00:36:43,800
\ngrow old little bit of poetry.
\nAll right. <\/p>\n

634
\n00:36:43,800 –> 00:36:47,100
\nDon’t go cold as you grow old.
\nYou know, that’s easy to do. <\/p>\n

635
\n00:36:48,800 –> 00:36:52,000
\nThere is someone that got old
\nand they got cold that Solomon <\/p>\n

636
\n00:36:52,000 –> 00:36:56,400
\nin First Kings 11 and verse 4,
\nit says when Solomon was old his<\/p>\n

637
\n00:36:56,400 –> 00:36:59,400
\nwives turned, his heart away to
\nother gods and his heart wasn’t <\/p>\n

638
\n00:36:59,400 –> 00:37:02,800
\nwholly devoted to Yahweh.
\nHe’s got his was David’s, got <\/p>\n

639
\n00:37:02,800 –> 00:37:04,700
\nold and you know things got a
\nlittle bit more. <\/p>\n

640
\n00:37:05,100 –> 00:37:09,800
\nGot to be cold.
\nBut this disciple here was a <\/p>\n

641
\n00:37:09,800 –> 00:37:14,300
\ndisciple of long-standing and
\nPaul came into his house. <\/p>\n

642
\n00:37:15,700 –> 00:37:20,100
\nI would imagine Paul valued very
\nhighly, the status of this older<\/p>\n

643
\n00:37:20,100 –> 00:37:22,900
\nbrother.
\nNow we’ve talked about different<\/p>\n

644
\n00:37:23,000 –> 00:37:28,400
\nbrothers and sisters.
\nWe talked about in verse 5 those<\/p>\n

645
\n00:37:28,400 –> 00:37:34,300
\nthat were very supportive of the
\nof the work that the Apostle <\/p>\n

646
\n00:37:34,300 –> 00:37:37,300
\nPaul was doing.
\nWe’ve talked about those who are<\/p>\n

647
\n00:37:37,308 –> 00:37:40,200
\nenthusiastic in verse 8, like
\nPhilip the Evangelist and his <\/p>\n

648
\n00:37:40,200 –> 00:37:41,600
\ndaughters.
\nWe’ve talked about, those are <\/p>\n

649
\n00:37:41,600 –> 00:37:46,700
\nemotional and verse 13 but
\nthey’re here in this This is an <\/p>\n

650
\n00:37:46,700 –> 00:37:51,300
\nolder brother Who provided
\nencouragement in his consistent <\/p>\n

651
\n00:37:51,300 –> 00:37:56,200
\nand faithful example.
\nYou’ve got brothers and sisters.<\/p>\n

652
\n00:37:56,200 –> 00:37:58,300
\nThe like that in your Oakley.
\nWho I know that we spoke to <\/p>\n

653
\n00:37:58,300 –> 00:38:00,900
\nBrother, David this morning.
\nI mean, these these are our <\/p>\n

654
\n00:38:00,900 –> 00:38:03,500
\nolder brothers and sisters, who
\nhave gone through very <\/p>\n

655
\n00:38:03,500 –> 00:38:07,400
\ndifficult, times are such an
\nencouragement for all of us. <\/p>\n

656
\n00:38:07,400 –> 00:38:11,900
\nWe respect and we honor them.
\nAnd the Apostle Paul did exactly<\/p>\n

657
\n00:38:11,900 –> 00:38:15,900
\nthe same.
\nAnd so we note in verse 17, when<\/p>\n

658
\n00:38:15,900 –> 00:38:20,200
\nwe were come to Jerusalem, the
\nbrothers received us, gladly <\/p>\n

659
\n00:38:20,200 –> 00:38:25,400
\nword received dam is the Greek
\nword to welcome with open arms. <\/p>\n

660
\n00:38:26,100 –> 00:38:30,300
\nSame word is used to Simeon in
\nLuke 22 verse 28. <\/p>\n

661
\n00:38:30,300 –> 00:38:34,300
\nWhen the baby Jesus came in and
\nsimply and welcome that. <\/p>\n

662
\n00:38:34,300 –> 00:38:39,300
\nHe’d been waiting for a lifetime
\nto meet the Lord’s Christ and he<\/p>\n

663
\n00:38:39,308 –> 00:38:41,500
\ntook him in his arms.
\nThat’s that word day. <\/p>\n

664
\n00:38:43,000 –> 00:38:47,000
\nThey welcomed him gladly and you
\nknow, in fact that would gladly <\/p>\n

665
\n00:38:47,000 –> 00:38:48,300
\nin the Greek is very
\ninteresting. <\/p>\n

666
\n00:38:49,300 –> 00:38:51,500
\nAsk me knows only one other
\noccur. <\/p>\n

667
\n00:38:51,500 –> 00:38:54,000
\nIf you bethink the word, gladly
\noccurs, right through the New <\/p>\n

668
\n00:38:54,000 –> 00:38:56,000
\nTestament.
\nWould you know, only one other <\/p>\n

669
\n00:38:56,000 –> 00:38:59,800
\noccurrence Acts 2 verse 41
\ntalking about the Ecclesia. <\/p>\n

670
\n00:39:00,200 –> 00:39:04,200
\nIt says then they gladly
\nreceived his word were baptized <\/p>\n

671
\n00:39:04,300 –> 00:39:07,500
\n3000 in one day.
\nWhat a buzz, you know, what an <\/p>\n

672
\n00:39:07,500 –> 00:39:10,300
\natmosphere there were people
\nthat receiving the truth. <\/p>\n

673
\n00:39:10,300 –> 00:39:14,000
\nGladly And Hell reassuring for
\nthe Apostle. <\/p>\n

674
\n00:39:14,000 –> 00:39:16,400
\nPaul to come all the way to
\nJerusalem and find that they <\/p>\n

675
\n00:39:16,408 –> 00:39:18,900
\nwere Brethren embracing him with
\ngladness. <\/p>\n

676
\n00:39:21,200 –> 00:39:23,700
\nSo what do you think?
\nBrothers and sisters when you <\/p>\n

677
\n00:39:23,700 –> 00:39:27,900
\nthink of the word Fellowship?
\nWhen you think of the word, <\/p>\n

678
\n00:39:28,000 –> 00:39:29,400
\nwhat?
\nWe only think of the word of God<\/p>\n

679
\n00:39:29,500 –> 00:39:36,900
\nis it is it that term gladness
\nSometimes we get weighed down <\/p>\n

680
\n00:39:36,900 –> 00:39:39,100
\nwith the pressures of the
\ndifficulties of life and maybe <\/p>\n

681
\n00:39:39,100 –> 00:39:41,700
\nthat dissipates a little bit,
\nbut I think we need to have that<\/p>\n

682
\n00:39:41,700 –> 00:39:45,200
\nreassurance.
\nThat we are so glad that we have<\/p>\n

683
\n00:39:45,200 –> 00:39:47,400
\nthe word of God.
\nDoes nothing else out there <\/p>\n

684
\n00:39:47,400 –> 00:39:51,200
\n2020?
\nIf nothing else has proved to us<\/p>\n

685
\n00:39:51,400 –> 00:39:54,800
\nthat that world is vaporous and
\nthere’s nothing for us. <\/p>\n

686
\n00:39:54,900 –> 00:39:58,400
\nWe are so glad that we have the
\nword of God that we can cling to<\/p>\n

687
\n00:39:58,500 –> 00:40:01,500
\nand hold onto and encourage one
\nanother in because there’s a <\/p>\n

688
\n00:40:01,508 –> 00:40:05,100
\nbetter future that’s very, very
\nclose around a corner and how we<\/p>\n

689
\n00:40:05,300 –> 00:40:08,800
\nCheering for Paul that they were
\nbrothers that had that attitude.<\/p>\n

690
\n00:40:11,500 –> 00:40:14,800
\nAnd so we come to the emblems
\nand our minds reflect on the <\/p>\n

691
\n00:40:14,800 –> 00:40:21,600
\nparallel between Jesus Christ,
\nand the Apostle Paul, our Lord <\/p>\n

692
\n00:40:21,600 –> 00:40:23,400
\nwas quite sorrowful in the upper
\nroom. <\/p>\n

693
\n00:40:25,100 –> 00:40:27,800
\nJust as these Elders that we
\ntalked about the Elders of <\/p>\n

694
\n00:40:27,800 –> 00:40:31,500
\nEphesus wept, and they were
\nquite sorrowful that they would <\/p>\n

695
\n00:40:31,500 –> 00:40:37,800
\nsee Paul’s face no more.
\nAnd our Lord began a journey <\/p>\n

696
\n00:40:37,800 –> 00:40:40,900
\nfrom the upper room that would
\neventually lead to his arrest <\/p>\n

697
\n00:40:40,900 –> 00:40:44,500
\nand his death.
\nAnd he said to the men in the <\/p>\n

698
\n00:40:44,500 –> 00:40:47,300
\nupper room, he said I’ve had
\nsuch desire. <\/p>\n

699
\n00:40:47,300 –> 00:40:51,400
\nThis is the moment that is
\nreally important for me with <\/p>\n

700
\n00:40:51,400 –> 00:40:55,000
\ndesire.
\nHave I desired to have this time<\/p>\n

701
\n00:40:55,000 –> 00:40:58,900
\nwith you before I suffer and
\nthat’s this time we have here <\/p>\n

702
\n00:40:58,900 –> 00:41:00,500
\nBrothers.
\nThis is we don’t know what we’re<\/p>\n

703
\n00:41:00,500 –> 00:41:04,300
\ngoing to face next week at all.
\nAnd I think 2020 is made us <\/p>\n

704
\n00:41:04,300 –> 00:41:06,000
\nrealize that we never know
\nwhat’s around the corner. <\/p>\n

705
\n00:41:06,600 –> 00:41:12,500
\nWhat an important moment for us
\nto have this time together these<\/p>\n

706
\n00:41:12,500 –> 00:41:16,100
\nmoments of fellowship and then
\nas we know the Lord left the <\/p>\n

707
\n00:41:16,100 –> 00:41:19,200
\nupper room and he’s headed to
\nthe cross and Peter tries to <\/p>\n

708
\n00:41:19,200 –> 00:41:23,000
\nstop in and dissuade him from
\ngoing down that direction but <\/p>\n

709
\n00:41:23,000 –> 00:41:27,200
\nthe Lord’s answer was not my
\nwill but thine be done. <\/p>\n

710
\n00:41:28,300 –> 00:41:29,900
\nExactly the same.
\nAs the words. <\/p>\n

711
\n00:41:29,900 –> 00:41:33,700
\nAt the end of verse 14 there,
\nthe will of the Lord be done. <\/p>\n

712
\n00:41:35,500 –> 00:41:37,800
\nSo, we gather this morning
\nbrothers and sisters, not <\/p>\n

713
\n00:41:37,800 –> 00:41:39,700
\nknowing what the journey is
\nahead. <\/p>\n

714
\n00:41:40,300 –> 00:41:43,800
\nBut surely we’re thankful the
\ncompany of each other and for <\/p>\n

715
\n00:41:43,800 –> 00:41:47,600
\nthe input that we have and
\nocclusal life, the joy and the <\/p>\n

716
\n00:41:47,600 –> 00:41:50,600
\nvalue of fellowship and
\ntogether, we await that great <\/p>\n

717
\n00:41:50,600 –> 00:41:54,600
\nday when we will receive the
\nLord in our arms. <\/p>\n

718
\n00:41:55,600 –> 00:42:01,600
\nOpen Arms, arms of gladness.
\nAnd joy, that finally, there is <\/p>\n

719
\n00:42:01,600 –> 00:42:05,200
\na resolution and there is a
\nsolution and an understanding to<\/p>\n

720
\n00:42:05,200 –> 00:42:07,300
\neverything that we’ve gone
\nthrough in life. <\/p>\n

721
\n00:42:08,300 –> 00:42:13,300
\nSo let us together in
\nFellowship, celebrate that as we<\/p>\n

722
\n00:42:13,300 –> 00:42:17,500
\neat bread and as we drink wine
\nand may our heavenly father, be <\/p>\n

723
\n00:42:17,500 –> 00:42:19,900
\nwith you all in this coming
\nweek, may bring the return of <\/p>\n

724
