\n00:00:13,900 –> 00:00:15,600
\nWelcome to Good Burger selfie
\nand talks. <\/p>\n
\n00:00:15,600 –> 00:00:19,300
\nI’m Levi and I’m Chris and I’m
\nBrian, thank you for joining us <\/p>\n
\n00:00:19,300 –> 00:00:21,900
\nthis week.
\nOn this podcast, we select one <\/p>\n
\n00:00:21,900 –> 00:00:26,400
\ntaco week to help us get the
\nBible in our daily news feed. <\/p>\n
\n00:00:26,500 –> 00:00:29,300
\nWe post a new episode of the
\nstart of each week with a short <\/p>\n
\n00:00:29,300 –> 00:00:31,400
\nintro before.
\nHand to kind of set the stage <\/p>\n
\n00:00:31,400 –> 00:00:33,600
\nfor the talk.
\nYou’re about to listen to and <\/p>\n
\n00:00:33,600 –> 00:00:36,300
\nnow let’s talk more about this
\nweek’s talk. <\/p>\n
\n00:00:50,800 –> 00:00:53,200
\nWelcome to the good Chris at
\nAlfea and talks podcast. <\/p>\n
\n00:00:53,700 –> 00:00:57,100
\nThis is brother Brian.
\nThis week’s talk is an <\/p>\n
\n00:00:57,100 –> 00:00:59,700
\nexcitation that was sent in by
\nrecommendation. <\/p>\n
\n00:00:59,800 –> 00:01:04,000
\nA few months ago, it’s an
\nexcitation by brother Nate Susi <\/p>\n
\n00:01:04,500 –> 00:01:08,100
\nthat was given this past
\nFebruary at the Stoughton, or <\/p>\n
\n00:01:08,100 –> 00:01:10,400
\nBoston, Ecclesia here in the
\nstates. <\/p>\n
\n00:01:12,000 –> 00:01:16,000
\nBut their need focuses on
\nbiblical accounts of when <\/p>\n
\n00:01:16,000 –> 00:01:20,800
\nFaithful Believers answer the
\ncall from God specifically with <\/p>\n
\n00:01:20,800 –> 00:01:25,500
\nthe phrase, here I am.
\nAnd he connects the lessons that<\/p>\n
\n00:01:25,500 –> 00:01:28,200
\nwe can draw from them
\nspecifically. <\/p>\n
\n00:01:28,500 –> 00:01:34,200
\nHe reflects on what it means to
\nmake ourselves available to God,<\/p>\n
\n00:01:34,200 –> 00:01:38,300
\nwhat it means to make ourselves
\navailable to our own families to<\/p>\n
\n00:01:38,300 –> 00:01:43,300
\nthose in the community.
\nAs the pandemic will just <\/p>\n
\n00:01:43,300 –> 00:01:48,300
\ncontinues to drag on there, have
\nbeen a lot of personal wants and<\/p>\n
\n00:01:48,300 –> 00:01:55,100
\nneeds and distractions that can
\ncause us to be selfish or want <\/p>\n
\n00:01:55,100 –> 00:01:58,700
\nto do things in our own time.
\nAnd brother neat shows, how <\/p>\n
\n00:01:58,700 –> 00:02:03,300
\nthese are the same situations
\nand feelings that had been felt <\/p>\n
\n00:02:03,700 –> 00:02:07,700
\nand dealt with all throughout
\nscripture by these faithful, men<\/p>\n
\n00:02:07,700 –> 00:02:14,600
\nand women, and they like us,
\nHave their reasons to doubt or <\/p>\n
\n00:02:14,600 –> 00:02:19,200
\ndelay but ultimately what our
\nfaith is built on is how we <\/p>\n
\n00:02:19,200 –> 00:02:25,300
\nanswer when God is calling us.
\nSo as always, we hope this <\/p>\n
\n00:02:25,300 –> 00:02:28,800
\nstrengthens your faith and
\nbrightens your day brother. <\/p>\n
\n00:02:28,800 –> 00:02:31,400
\nNate Susie here.
\nI am. <\/p>\n
\n00:02:33,200 –> 00:02:35,600
\nGood morning, brothers sisters,
\nfamily, and friends. <\/p>\n
\n00:02:37,000 –> 00:02:42,000
\nHere I am.
\nWhat does that mean when we read<\/p>\n
\n00:02:42,000 –> 00:02:48,300
\nthese words in Scripture?
\nSister Karen spy, this <\/p>\n
\n00:02:48,300 –> 00:02:49,600
\nexcitation when she recommended
\nthat. <\/p>\n
\n00:02:49,600 –> 00:02:54,100
\nWe study this exact phrase and
\nthe meaning behind it. <\/p>\n
\n00:02:54,800 –> 00:02:58,000
\nThis is the seventh Sunday to
\nstart 2022. <\/p>\n
\n00:02:59,500 –> 00:03:04,500
\nSo as we go through the Old
\nTestament Genesis and exodus, we<\/p>\n
\n00:03:04,500 –> 00:03:07,200
\nsaw there was a pattern there
\nand our goal. <\/p>\n
\n00:03:07,200 –> 00:03:12,300
\nThis morning is to explore the
\ncontext and characters who use <\/p>\n
\n00:03:12,300 –> 00:03:16,300
\nthe words here I am.
\nAnd what do they do with that <\/p>\n
\n00:03:16,300 –> 00:03:23,800
\ncalling?
\nAs we go through this, the hope <\/p>\n
\n00:03:23,800 –> 00:03:27,300
\nis that this provides us with
\nextrication encouragement. <\/p>\n
\n00:03:27,400 –> 00:03:31,800
\nWhen God calls us personally in
\nour lives. <\/p>\n
\n00:03:34,000 –> 00:03:37,200
\nAnd I want to thank brother
\nGabriel for that fantastic <\/p>\n
\n00:03:37,200 –> 00:03:41,100
\nreading of Genesis 22 for us.
\nWe’re going to start right there<\/p>\n
\n00:03:41,800 –> 00:03:45,900
\nand our reading Genesis 22
\nverses starting in verse 1. <\/p>\n
\n00:03:47,100 –> 00:03:51,800
\nAfter these things God tested
\nAbraham. <\/p>\n
\n00:03:52,900 –> 00:03:56,600
\nAnd said to him Abraham and he
\nsaid, here I am. <\/p>\n
\n00:03:58,000 –> 00:04:02,800
\nThe Hebrew word tested in the
\nESV or tempt in the King, James <\/p>\n
\n00:04:02,800 –> 00:04:07,300
\nversion is NASA.
\nDefined by Strong’s as a test to<\/p>\n
\n00:04:07,300 –> 00:04:11,700
\nprove or to try.
\nGod is proving the faith of <\/p>\n
\n00:04:11,700 –> 00:04:15,100
\nAbraham and how does Abraham
\nrespond? <\/p>\n
\n00:04:19,100 –> 00:04:25,600
\nGod says take your son, your
\nonly son Isaac whom you love and<\/p>\n
\n00:04:25,600 –> 00:04:31,000
\ngo to the land of Moriah and
\noffer him there as a burnt <\/p>\n
\n00:04:31,000 –> 00:04:35,000
\noffering upon one of the
\nmountains that I shall tell you,<\/p>\n
\n00:04:36,200 –> 00:04:40,200
\nGod here is acknowledging.
\nThis is your only son whom you <\/p>\n
\n00:04:40,200 –> 00:04:43,900
\nlove a parallel.
\nCertainly to the table here. <\/p>\n
\n00:04:46,000 –> 00:04:49,400
\nBut also God’s acknowledging.
\nI understand the gravity of this<\/p>\n
\n00:04:49,400 –> 00:04:52,600
\nrequest.
\nWhat does Abraham do? <\/p>\n
\n00:04:52,600 –> 00:04:58,000
\nDoes he ask around and see sit
\non this to see, does he mold <\/p>\n
\n00:04:58,000 –> 00:05:00,000
\nover?
\nWhether he should act? <\/p>\n
\n00:05:00,100 –> 00:05:04,300
\nNo, he rises early in the
\nmorning, saddled, his donkey <\/p>\n
\n00:05:04,400 –> 00:05:06,700
\ntook two of his young men with
\nhim and his son. <\/p>\n
\n00:05:06,700 –> 00:05:09,200
\nIsaac.
\nAnd he cut the wood for the <\/p>\n
\n00:05:09,200 –> 00:05:12,300
\nburnt offering in a rose.
\nAnd went to the place to which <\/p>\n
\n00:05:12,300 –> 00:05:16,300
\nGod has told him.
\nAnd I read over this every <\/p>\n
\n00:05:16,300 –> 00:05:20,500
\nsingle time, but this time it’s
\nstuck with me on the third day, <\/p>\n
\n00:05:21,100 –> 00:05:23,800
\nAbraham lifted up his eyes and
\nsaw the place from afar. <\/p>\n
\n00:05:24,000 –> 00:05:27,100
\nHe had to sit with not only the
\nphysical burden of carrying this<\/p>\n
\n00:05:27,100 –> 00:05:29,700
\nwood but more.
\nSo the emotional and spiritual <\/p>\n
\n00:05:29,700 –> 00:05:35,700
\nburden Awaiting hundreds, 100
\nyears for his son. <\/p>\n
\n00:05:37,600 –> 00:05:40,900
\nOnly now to be tasked with
\nsacrificing him. <\/p>\n
\n00:05:46,200 –> 00:05:49,200
\nVerse 5 and Abraham said to his
\nyoung men stay here with the <\/p>\n
\n00:05:49,207 –> 00:05:52,100
\ndonkey Ian.
\nThe boy will go over there and <\/p>\n
\n00:05:52,100 –> 00:05:55,600
\nworship and come again to you
\nand Abraham took the wood of the<\/p>\n
\n00:05:55,608 –> 00:05:59,800
\nburnt offering and laid it on
\nIsaac, his son and he took in <\/p>\n
\n00:05:59,808 –> 00:06:02,100
\nhis hand, the fire and the
\nknife. <\/p>\n
\n00:06:03,100 –> 00:06:04,600
\nSo they went both of them
\ntogether. <\/p>\n
\n00:06:06,900 –> 00:06:12,100
\nAnd Isaac said to his father
\nAbraham my father and he said <\/p>\n
\n00:06:12,900 –> 00:06:18,000
\nhere, I am my son.
\nHere we have a next-door for <\/p>\n
\n00:06:18,000 –> 00:06:21,400
\nboth parents and for children
\nfor parents. <\/p>\n
\n00:06:21,700 –> 00:06:25,300
\nThink about how often you make
\nyourself available to your kids.<\/p>\n
\n00:06:26,000 –> 00:06:30,200
\nFor kids children, how often
\nyour parents answer the call. <\/p>\n
\n00:06:30,300 –> 00:06:32,600
\nWhen you ask for help?
\nI’m directing this to children. <\/p>\n
\n00:06:32,600 –> 00:06:38,100
\nBut I mean are my mom right now
\nor Joel’s GG as he calls her is <\/p>\n
\n00:06:38,100 –> 00:06:41,000
\nlooking after him right now.
\nWe ask we said hey we’re going <\/p>\n
\n00:06:41,000 –> 00:06:44,400
\nto need help Corral in him and
\nwe’re still calling our parents <\/p>\n
\n00:06:44,400 –> 00:06:47,500
\nfor help.
\nAnd it’s and it’s a beautiful <\/p>\n
\n00:06:47,500 –> 00:06:49,900
\nthing because the unrelenting
\nlove of parents, they’re always <\/p>\n
\n00:06:49,900 –> 00:06:55,000
\nthere to help its intuitive for
\nparents to be available for our <\/p>\n
\n00:06:55,000 –> 00:06:57,900
\nchildren.
\nBut are we also just as <\/p>\n
\n00:06:57,900 –> 00:07:02,100
\navailable to God when he calls
\nus to action? <\/p>\n
\n00:07:04,800 –> 00:07:07,200
\nIf you’re reading from the King
\nJames, you will notice that in <\/p>\n
\n00:07:07,200 –> 00:07:12,500
\nGenesis 22 verse 1 Abraham says
\nbehold here I am to God. <\/p>\n
\n00:07:12,600 –> 00:07:15,400
\nBut in Genesis 22 and 7 he says
\nhere. <\/p>\n
\n00:07:15,400 –> 00:07:20,800
\nAm I But the root Hebrew word
\nfor both instances, the exact <\/p>\n
\n00:07:20,800 –> 00:07:23,700
\nsame and and brother Brian’s
\ngoing to have to correct me <\/p>\n
\n00:07:23,700 –> 00:07:26,200
\nafterwards on the true
\npronunciation. <\/p>\n
\n00:07:26,500 –> 00:07:29,400
\nBut it’s henna henna, which is
\nStrong’s 2009. <\/p>\n
\n00:07:29,400 –> 00:07:39,400
\nBehold, Lo, or see it occurs 843
\ntimes in 799 versus So it’s used<\/p>\n
\n00:07:39,400 –> 00:07:43,200
\noften, so it’s ultimately, the
\ncontextual clues that creates <\/p>\n
\n00:07:43,200 –> 00:07:46,300
\nthe translation of here.
\nI am or here am I? <\/p>\n
\n00:07:46,800 –> 00:07:52,400
\nIt can be used interchangeably,
\nbut ultimately, The passage that<\/p>\n
\n00:07:52,400 –> 00:07:55,300
\nwe read today, think of here, I
\nam. <\/p>\n
\n00:07:56,700 –> 00:08:06,600
\nAs behold God, I am available.
\nand we read the miraculous <\/p>\n
\n00:08:07,000 –> 00:08:12,500
\noccurrence continuing in verse
\n11, but the angel of Yahweh <\/p>\n
\n00:08:12,500 –> 00:08:15,700
\ncalled to him from Abraham
\ncalled him from heaven and said,<\/p>\n
\n00:08:15,900 –> 00:08:19,200
\nAbraham Abraham, you can sense,
\nthe urgency Abraham was ready, <\/p>\n
\n00:08:20,400 –> 00:08:26,300
\nAnd he said, here, I am.
\nCan you imagine how impactful <\/p>\n
\n00:08:26,300 –> 00:08:29,300
\nthis must have been for Isaac as
\na young man? <\/p>\n
\n00:08:29,600 –> 00:08:31,900
\nNot a child?
\nA boy able to carry his own <\/p>\n
\n00:08:31,900 –> 00:08:36,500
\nweight.
\nWe read when Isaac personally <\/p>\n
\n00:08:36,900 –> 00:08:44,000
\nutters this phrase in Genesis
\n27, We’re picking this up in <\/p>\n
\n00:08:44,000 –> 00:08:49,300
\nGenesis 27, verse 1, when Isaac
\nwas old, and his eyes were dim <\/p>\n
\n00:08:49,300 –> 00:08:53,500
\nso he could not see, he called
\nEsau his older son and said to <\/p>\n
\n00:08:53,500 –> 00:08:54,600
\nhim.
\nMy son. <\/p>\n
\n00:08:54,900 –> 00:08:59,600
\nEsau answered here I am.
\nHe said, behold I am old. <\/p>\n
\n00:08:59,600 –> 00:09:01,000
\nI do not know the day of my
\ndeath. <\/p>\n
\n00:09:01,000 –> 00:09:03,600
\nNow then take your weapon to
\nquiver and your bow. <\/p>\n
\n00:09:03,700 –> 00:09:06,800
\nGo out to the field and Hunt
\ngame for me and prepare for me <\/p>\n
\n00:09:06,900 –> 00:09:11,200
\ndelicious food such as I love.
\nAnd bring it to me that I might <\/p>\n
\n00:09:11,300 –> 00:09:14,900
\neat that my soul mate.
\nBless you before I die. <\/p>\n
\n00:09:16,200 –> 00:09:20,400
\nWe know how this turns out
\nRebecca prepares Jacob brings <\/p>\n
\n00:09:20,400 –> 00:09:24,300
\nthem over and convinces him to
\nfeel like Esau to deceive his <\/p>\n
\n00:09:24,300 –> 00:09:32,000
\nfather Isaac for the blessing.
\nPicking back up in Genesis 27 <\/p>\n
\n00:09:32,000 –> 00:09:36,200
\nverse 18.
\nSo now Jacob went to his father <\/p>\n
\n00:09:37,100 –> 00:09:46,400
\nand said, my father And Isaac
\nsays, here I am, who are you? <\/p>\n
\n00:09:46,400 –> 00:09:48,800
\nMy son, Jacob said to his
\nfather. <\/p>\n
\n00:09:48,800 –> 00:09:52,000
\nI am Esau your first born I have
\ndone as you told me. <\/p>\n
\n00:09:52,100 –> 00:09:53,900
\nNow, sit up that I might eat a
\nmy game. <\/p>\n
\n00:09:54,000 –> 00:09:58,500
\nThat your soul may bless me.
\nIt is no coincidence that the <\/p>\n
\n00:09:58,500 –> 00:10:03,000
\npeople who say here I am in this
\nexchange is Esau in verse 1, <\/p>\n
\n00:10:03,200 –> 00:10:06,000
\nIsaac in verse 18, but not
\nJacob. <\/p>\n
\n00:10:07,100 –> 00:10:11,300
\nThe phrase is only presented
\nwhen it is, genuine preserving <\/p>\n
\n00:10:11,300 –> 00:10:17,500
\nthe authenticity of the phrase.
\nEven Jacob in this deception. <\/p>\n
\n00:10:17,600 –> 00:10:24,300
\nCan’t utter the words here I am.
\nbut he does ultimately in his <\/p>\n
\n00:10:24,600 –> 00:10:30,900
\nlife after many years of
\nspiritual maturation, We’re in a<\/p>\n
\n00:10:30,908 –> 00:10:36,500
\nskip from Genesis 27, and now
\nhop into Genesis 30:1 Jacob. <\/p>\n
\n00:10:36,500 –> 00:10:42,900
\nNow, a married man has two wives
\nthe daughters of Laban And <\/p>\n
\n00:10:42,900 –> 00:10:45,100
\nstarting in verse 1.
\nNow, Jacob heard that the sons <\/p>\n
\n00:10:45,100 –> 00:10:48,800
\nof Laban were saying Jacob has
\ntaken all that was our fathers <\/p>\n
\n00:10:49,000 –> 00:10:52,200
\nand from what was our father’s,
\nhe has gained all this wealth <\/p>\n
\n00:10:52,800 –> 00:10:56,100
\nand Jacob saw that Laban did not
\nregard him with favor as before <\/p>\n
\n00:10:56,500 –> 00:10:59,200
\nthen Yahweh said to Jacob
\nreturned to land of your <\/p>\n
\n00:10:59,200 –> 00:11:06,500
\nfather’s into your Kindred and I
\nwill be with you So Jacob sent <\/p>\n
\n00:11:06,500 –> 00:11:08,100
\nand called Rachel and Leah to
\nthe field. <\/p>\n
\n00:11:08,100 –> 00:11:10,100
\nWere his flock were and said
\nunto him. <\/p>\n
\n00:11:10,100 –> 00:11:14,000
\nI see that your father does not
\nregard me with favor as he did <\/p>\n
\n00:11:14,000 –> 00:11:17,500
\nbefore.
\nBut the god of my father has <\/p>\n
\n00:11:17,500 –> 00:11:20,600
\nbeen with me.
\nAnd Jacob Perkins to his two <\/p>\n
\n00:11:20,600 –> 00:11:22,700
\nwives.
\nHow their father Laban has <\/p>\n
\n00:11:22,700 –> 00:11:27,600
\ndeceived Jacob Time After Time
\nand picking up in verse 10 in <\/p>\n
\n00:11:27,600 –> 00:11:29,600
\nthe breeding.
\nSeason the flock, I lifted up my<\/p>\n
\n00:11:29,600 –> 00:11:32,900
\neyes and I saw in a dream that
\nthe goats that mated with the <\/p>\n
\n00:11:32,900 –> 00:11:37,300
\nflock, with stripes bottled the
\nmodeled And the angel of the <\/p>\n
\n00:11:37,800 –> 00:11:39,800
\nYahweh said to me in a dream.
\nJacob. <\/p>\n
\n00:11:40,900 –> 00:11:46,400
\nAnd I said, here I am.
\nAnd he said, lift up your eyes, <\/p>\n
\n00:11:46,400 –> 00:11:48,500
\nand see, all the goats that made
\nwith the flock of Stripes. <\/p>\n
\n00:11:48,500 –> 00:11:52,700
\nSpotted and modeled for I have
\nseen, all that Laban is doing to<\/p>\n
\n00:11:52,700 –> 00:11:55,600
\nyou.
\nI am the god of Bethel where you<\/p>\n
\n00:11:55,600 –> 00:11:59,300
\nanointed a pillar.
\nMade a vow to me now, arise, go <\/p>\n
\n00:11:59,300 –> 00:12:02,800
\nfrom this land, and return to
\nthe land of your kindred. <\/p>\n
\n00:12:05,700 –> 00:12:09,400
\nJacob shows immense spiritual
\ngrowth as he migrates. <\/p>\n
\n00:12:11,500 –> 00:12:16,000
\nHis family.
\nHis family and alone should cost<\/p>\n
\n00:12:16,000 –> 00:12:18,400
\nyou as a flock.
\nBut not only that but his entire<\/p>\n
\n00:12:18,400 –> 00:12:21,300
\nflock as well.
\nAnd we understand the immense <\/p>\n
\n00:12:21,300 –> 00:12:25,200
\nPotential Threat of a brother.
\nThat’s trying to enact Revenge <\/p>\n
\n00:12:25,200 –> 00:12:28,800
\nEsau coming upon Jacob with his
\nband of men. <\/p>\n
\n00:12:30,000 –> 00:12:35,000
\nWe see the faith, the humility
\nof Jacob saying here, I am and <\/p>\n
\n00:12:35,000 –> 00:12:39,900
\nmaking a tumultuous Journey.
\nWe know that Jacob also <\/p>\n
\n00:12:40,000 –> 00:12:45,300
\nultimately makes it to the
\npromised land. but that’s not <\/p>\n
\n00:12:45,400 –> 00:12:51,700
\nthe last time that Yahweh asked,
\nJacob, and now Israel to move <\/p>\n
\n00:12:53,000 –> 00:12:57,400
\nPicking up in Genesis 46.
\nSo Israel. <\/p>\n
\n00:12:58,500 –> 00:13:01,900
\nTook his journey with all that
\nhe had and came to Beersheba <\/p>\n
\n00:13:01,900 –> 00:13:04,300
\noffered sacrifices to the god of
\nhis father. <\/p>\n
\n00:13:04,400 –> 00:13:08,300
\nIsaac And God spoke to Israel
\nand visions. <\/p>\n
\n00:13:08,300 –> 00:13:12,600
\nAnd then the night and said,
\nJacob, Jacob and he said, here I<\/p>\n
\n00:13:12,600 –> 00:13:16,500
\nam, then he said, I am God the
\ngod of your father. <\/p>\n
\n00:13:16,500 –> 00:13:19,200
\nDo not be afraid to go down to
\nEgypt for there. <\/p>\n
\n00:13:19,200 –> 00:13:23,900
\nI will make you a great nation.
\nI myself will go down with you <\/p>\n
\n00:13:24,100 –> 00:13:30,000
\nto Egypt and I will also bring
\nyou up again and Joseph’s hand <\/p>\n
\n00:13:30,200 –> 00:13:35,800
\nshall close your eyes, it’s
\nfitting that, Yahweh tells <\/p>\n
\n00:13:35,800 –> 00:13:39,000
\nIsrael, That Joseph will be
\nclosing his eyes for it is <\/p>\n
\n00:13:39,000 –> 00:13:43,200
\nJoseph.
\nWho uttered the phrase here I am<\/p>\n
\n00:13:43,700 –> 00:13:48,300
\nto Israel and a couple chapters
\nprior to that jumping into <\/p>\n
\n00:13:48,700 –> 00:13:55,800
\nGenesis 37.
\nNow, Joseph Brothers, went to <\/p>\n
\n00:13:55,800 –> 00:13:59,700
\nPastor their fathers flock near
\nshechem in Israel. <\/p>\n
\n00:14:01,300 –> 00:14:05,000
\nSaid to Joseph.
\nAre not your brother’s <\/p>\n
\n00:14:05,000 –> 00:14:08,100
\npasturing, the flock of shechem,
\ncome, I will send you to them <\/p>\n
\n00:14:08,700 –> 00:14:16,400
\nand he said to him, here I am.
\nSo he said to him, go now, see <\/p>\n
\n00:14:16,400 –> 00:14:18,400
\nif it as well with your
\nbrothers, and with the flock and<\/p>\n
\n00:14:18,400 –> 00:14:22,300
\nbring me word, we all know what
\nhappens after that. <\/p>\n
\n00:14:24,400 –> 00:14:28,200
\nWe know the immense Trials of
\nJoseph being cast into the pit <\/p>\n
\n00:14:28,900 –> 00:14:34,000
\nsold to ishmaelites and that was
\na better outcome than being <\/p>\n
\n00:14:34,000 –> 00:14:39,400
\nkilled by his own Brothers.
\nGoing to being bought by <\/p>\n
\n00:14:39,400 –> 00:14:42,900
\npotiphar going to his house
\ndiligently serving him only to <\/p>\n
\n00:14:42,900 –> 00:14:47,800
\nbe accused of a terrible sin
\ncast into jail interpreting <\/p>\n
\n00:14:47,800 –> 00:14:52,300
\ndreams to only then wait and say
\nand say remember of the Butler <\/p>\n
\n00:14:52,300 –> 00:14:57,400
\nand Baker remember me only to be
\nforgotten for two additional <\/p>\n
\n00:14:57,400 –> 00:15:01,800
\nyears.
\nWe get down on ourselves when we<\/p>\n
\n00:15:01,808 –> 00:15:05,000
\nhave a bad day.
\nThis is, this is a bad decade. <\/p>\n
\n00:15:07,500 –> 00:15:11,600
\nBut Joseph contextualizes this
\nand understands the providential<\/p>\n
\n00:15:11,600 –> 00:15:14,400
\nnature of this, his brothers,
\nhowever, do not. <\/p>\n
\n00:15:14,400 –> 00:15:17,400
\nThey’re very concerned because
\nultimately how this transpires <\/p>\n
\n00:15:17,400 –> 00:15:20,700
\nwhen the brothers Joseph stream.
\nUltimately comes to reality. <\/p>\n
\n00:15:20,800 –> 00:15:24,600
\nThe brothers are bowing at his
\nfeet, he saves them, which is <\/p>\n
\n00:15:24,600 –> 00:15:27,900
\nwhat which what compels Yahweh
\nto tell Israel. <\/p>\n
\n00:15:28,000 –> 00:15:30,100
\nNo, you can leave the promised
\nland. <\/p>\n
\n00:15:30,200 –> 00:15:32,500
\nGo back into each.
\nGo back to Egypt. <\/p>\n
\n00:15:33,300 –> 00:15:41,000
\nAnd I’ll bring you back again.
\nWe understand this difference in<\/p>\n
\n00:15:41,000 –> 00:15:44,900
\nunderstanding perspective.
\nIn Genesis 50 when Joseph’s <\/p>\n
\n00:15:44,900 –> 00:15:47,900
\nbrothers saw ultimately that
\nIsrael was dead. <\/p>\n
\n00:15:48,400 –> 00:15:52,600
\nThey said it may be that Joseph
\nwill hate us and pay us back for<\/p>\n
\n00:15:52,600 –> 00:15:56,800
\nall the evil that we did to him.
\nSo they sent a message to <\/p>\n
\n00:15:56,800 –> 00:15:59,300
\nJoseph, saying, your father gave
\nus this command before he died. <\/p>\n
\n00:15:59,700 –> 00:16:03,000
\nStated Joseph, please forgive
\nthe transgressions of your <\/p>\n
\n00:16:03,000 –> 00:16:08,800
\nbrothers and their sin.
\nBecause they did Evil to you. <\/p>\n
\n00:16:09,400 –> 00:16:12,000
\nAnd now please forgive the
\ntransgressions of the Servants <\/p>\n
\n00:16:12,000 –> 00:16:13,900
\nof God.
\nYour of your father. <\/p>\n
\n00:16:16,600 –> 00:16:18,200
\nYou can see where they would be
\nanger there. <\/p>\n
\n00:16:19,100 –> 00:16:25,100
\nBut Joseph shows his heart is
\navailability to God Joseph wet <\/p>\n
\n00:16:26,100 –> 00:16:31,800
\nwhen they spoke to him.
\nHis brothers also came and fell <\/p>\n
\n00:16:31,800 –> 00:16:33,600
\ndown before him and said,
\nbehold. <\/p>\n
\n00:16:33,700 –> 00:16:37,300
\nWe are your servants but Joseph
\nsaid to him do not fear. <\/p>\n
\n00:16:38,600 –> 00:16:43,400
\nWhere am I in the place of God?
\nAs for you, you meant evil <\/p>\n
\n00:16:43,400 –> 00:16:47,800
\nagainst me.
\nBut God meant it for good. <\/p>\n
\n00:16:49,200 –> 00:16:51,900
\nHow often do we encounter people
\nin our daily lives? <\/p>\n
\n00:16:52,100 –> 00:16:54,700
\nThat we think that, they mean,
\nevil against me. <\/p>\n
\n00:16:55,000 –> 00:17:01,600
\nThey mean ill will But is it
\npossible that God means it for <\/p>\n
\n00:17:01,600 –> 00:17:07,099
\ngood?
\nJoseph continues, but God meant <\/p>\n
\n00:17:07,099 –> 00:17:09,099
\nit for good to bring it about
\nthat. <\/p>\n
\n00:17:09,099 –> 00:17:12,900
\nMany people should be kept alive
\nas they are today, so do not <\/p>\n
\n00:17:12,900 –> 00:17:14,500
\nfear.
\nI will provide for you and your <\/p>\n
\n00:17:14,500 –> 00:17:17,700
\nlittle ones.
\nThus he comforted them and spoke<\/p>\n
\n00:17:17,900 –> 00:17:22,200
\nkindly to them.
\nWe know ultimately what <\/p>\n
\n00:17:22,200 –> 00:17:27,800
\ntranspires.
\nAt the generations past that <\/p>\n
\n00:17:27,800 –> 00:17:31,100
\nprovidential Sanctuary that
\nEgypt offered. <\/p>\n
\n00:17:32,400 –> 00:17:37,000
\nNow, turns to slavery.
\nFor all of the Israelites. <\/p>\n
\n00:17:41,200 –> 00:17:45,300
\nAnd we come to Moses in Exodus
\nchapter 3 now. <\/p>\n
\n00:17:45,300 –> 00:17:48,200
\nMoses was keeping the flock of
\nhis father-in-law Jethro, the <\/p>\n
\n00:17:48,200 –> 00:17:51,700
\npriest of Midian and he led his
\nflock to the west side of the <\/p>\n
\n00:17:51,708 –> 00:17:54,900
\nWilderness and came to Horeb,
\nthe Mount of God and the angel <\/p>\n
\n00:17:55,200 –> 00:17:58,300
\nof Yahweh appeared to him in a
\nflame of fire in the midst of a <\/p>\n
\n00:17:58,308 –> 00:18:00,300
\nbush.
\nHe looked and behold the Bush <\/p>\n
\n00:18:00,300 –> 00:18:04,300
\nwas burning, it was not consumed
\nand Moses said, I will turn <\/p>\n
\n00:18:04,300 –> 00:18:10,200
\naside to see this great sight.
\nWhy the bush is not burned. when<\/p>\n
\n00:18:10,200 –> 00:18:15,800
\nYahweh saw that, he turned aside
\nto see God called him out of the<\/p>\n
\n00:18:15,808 –> 00:18:23,600
\nBush Moses, Moses. and Moses
\nsaid, here I am. <\/p>\n
\n00:18:28,000 –> 00:18:30,100
\nThis interaction, this
\navailability. <\/p>\n
\n00:18:31,100 –> 00:18:35,100
\nMoses being a completely
\ndifferent person at 80 years old<\/p>\n
\n00:18:35,400 –> 00:18:39,100
\nin Egyptian.
\nBeing called. <\/p>\n
\n00:18:41,400 –> 00:18:45,300
\nMaking himself available in a
\ndistant land to do the <\/p>\n
\n00:18:45,300 –> 00:18:48,400
\nunthinkable, liberating his
\npeople. <\/p>\n
\n00:18:52,300 –> 00:18:56,100
\nAnd that Liberation brings us to
\nwhere we are in Exodus. <\/p>\n
\n00:18:57,300 –> 00:19:02,600
\nAs we’re migrating.
\nFrom Egypt to the promised land.<\/p>\n
\n00:19:06,200 –> 00:19:11,200
\nand once there we have a prophet
\nSamuel, which we read our him <\/p>\n
\n00:19:11,300 –> 00:19:17,500
\nthis morning about We know the
\nstory all too. <\/p>\n
\n00:19:17,500 –> 00:19:22,100
\nWell, in first Samuel 3, when
\nYahweh is calling to Samuel. <\/p>\n
\n00:19:23,000 –> 00:19:25,300
\nHe’s saying here I am.
\nAnd here Annie thinks it’s Eli <\/p>\n
\n00:19:25,700 –> 00:19:29,100
\nas a young boy but he’ll I
\nperceive that to the third time.<\/p>\n
\n00:19:30,800 –> 00:19:41,300
\nThis is real yahweh’s calling to
\nyou. he instructs him, when you <\/p>\n
\n00:19:42,500 –> 00:19:45,400
\nWhen Yahweh calls to you you are
\nto say here I am. <\/p>\n
\n00:19:46,000 –> 00:19:52,100
\nAnd that’s exactly what Samuel
\ndoes. and ultimately, Continuing<\/p>\n
\n00:19:52,100 –> 00:19:57,600
\non first Samuel, chapter 12,
\nSamuels devastated. <\/p>\n
\n00:19:58,200 –> 00:20:00,900
\nBecause despite his Faithful
\nServants, since he was a young <\/p>\n
\n00:20:00,900 –> 00:20:04,200
\nboy, the nation of Israel is
\nasking to be like every other <\/p>\n
\n00:20:04,600 –> 00:20:06,300
\nNation around them.
\nThey want a king. <\/p>\n
\n00:20:14,200 –> 00:20:17,300
\nAnd Samuel is devastated by
\nthis. <\/p>\n
\n00:20:22,600 –> 00:20:24,800
\nFor he says, in front of all of
\nIsrael. <\/p>\n
\n00:20:26,400 –> 00:20:31,800
\nIn verse 12, verse chapter, 3,
\nchapter 12, verse 1 behold, I <\/p>\n
\n00:20:31,808 –> 00:20:34,500
\nhave obeyed your voice and all
\nthe ways you’ve said to me and <\/p>\n
\n00:20:34,500 –> 00:20:37,500
\nhave made King over to you.
\nAnd now behold the king walks <\/p>\n
\n00:20:37,500 –> 00:20:39,700
\nbefore you, I am old and gray
\nand behold. <\/p>\n
\n00:20:39,700 –> 00:20:43,000
\nMy sons are with you.
\nI have walked before you from my<\/p>\n
\n00:20:43,000 –> 00:20:44,000
\nyouth.
\nUntil this day. <\/p>\n
\n00:20:44,100 –> 00:20:49,400
\nHere I am.
\nTestify against me before Yahweh<\/p>\n
\n00:20:49,400 –> 00:20:52,500
\nand before his anointed saying
\nessentially search me I am <\/p>\n
\n00:20:52,500 –> 00:20:54,500
\nbefore you I have been available
\nto you. <\/p>\n
\n00:20:56,100 –> 00:20:59,300
\nBut Israel wanted a king.
\nA king in appearance. <\/p>\n
\n00:21:00,100 –> 00:21:03,300
\nWe know how this transpires
\nSaul. <\/p>\n
\n00:21:05,300 –> 00:21:09,200
\nA man who physically checks all
\nthe boxes for a king. <\/p>\n
\n00:21:11,000 –> 00:21:17,100
\nDoesn’t make himself personally
\navailable to Yahweh. so instead <\/p>\n
\n00:21:18,300 –> 00:21:24,600
\nGod appoints a man after his own
\nheart, King David, Who gives us <\/p>\n
\n00:21:24,600 –> 00:21:30,800
\na amazing exhortation and how we
\nare to be available to God in <\/p>\n
\n00:21:30,800 –> 00:21:36,000
\nall circumstances.
\nBut we find the specific phrase <\/p>\n
\n00:21:36,000 –> 00:21:39,500
\nhere I am.
\nWhen David is at his lowest. <\/p>\n
\n00:21:40,500 –> 00:21:47,300
\nIn second, Samuel chapter 15.
\nAnd a messenger came to David in<\/p>\n
\n00:21:47,300 –> 00:21:51,400
\nverse 13 saying, the hearts of
\nmen of Israel have gone after <\/p>\n
\n00:21:51,700 –> 00:21:55,400
\nAbsalom.
\nAnd David said, all his servants<\/p>\n
\n00:21:55,400 –> 00:21:57,100
\nwere with my truism are all
\narise. <\/p>\n
\n00:21:57,400 –> 00:22:00,900
\nLet us flee or else.
\nThere will be no Escape for us. <\/p>\n
\n00:22:00,900 –> 00:22:03,700
\nFrom Absalom go quickly.
\nLets you overtake us quickly, <\/p>\n
\n00:22:04,100 –> 00:22:07,400
\nand bring down to ruin on us,
\nand strike. <\/p>\n
\n00:22:07,400 –> 00:22:12,100
\nThe city with the edge of the
\nsword, this isn’t Goliath. <\/p>\n
\n00:22:13,700 –> 00:22:16,600
\nThis isn’t a Philistine.
\nThis is Absalom. <\/p>\n
\n00:22:16,600 –> 00:22:20,800
\nHis own, son in a resurrect and
\ninsurrection. <\/p>\n
\n00:22:22,500 –> 00:22:27,700
\nContinuing in verse 23 in all
\nthe land wept aloud and all the <\/p>\n
\n00:22:27,700 –> 00:22:31,500
\npeople pass by and the King
\ncrossed the brook kedron, and <\/p>\n
\n00:22:31,500 –> 00:22:35,100
\nall the people passed on towards
\nthe Wilderness and abathur, came<\/p>\n
\n00:22:35,100 –> 00:22:38,600
\nup and behold zadok came with
\nthem, with all the Levites <\/p>\n
\n00:22:38,800 –> 00:22:41,700
\nbearing, the Ark of the Covenant
\nof God, and they said it down <\/p>\n
\n00:22:41,700 –> 00:22:44,900
\nthe Ark of God until the people
\nhad all passed out of the city. <\/p>\n
\n00:22:47,500 –> 00:22:50,300
\nHere’s Dave and his humility.
\nThe king says to zadok. <\/p>\n
\n00:22:51,400 –> 00:22:54,700
\nCarry the Ark of God back into
\nthe city. <\/p>\n
\n00:22:56,000 –> 00:23:00,300
\nIf I find favor in the eyes of
\nYahweh, he will bring me back <\/p>\n
\n00:23:00,400 –> 00:23:05,900
\nand let me see both it.
\nAnd his Dwelling Place. <\/p>\n
\n00:23:07,000 –> 00:23:12,400
\nBoth the ark and the temple. but
\nif he says, I have no pleasure <\/p>\n
\n00:23:12,400 –> 00:23:16,600
\nin you, essentially, if David
\ndoes not return if David Fails, <\/p>\n
\n00:23:19,400 –> 00:23:23,200
\nDavid says, behold.
\nHere I am. <\/p>\n
\n00:23:24,800 –> 00:23:28,100
\nLet him do to me.
\nWhat seems good to him. <\/p>\n
\n00:23:31,300 –> 00:23:33,700
\nThis amazing City that David
\nbuilt up. <\/p>\n
\n00:23:35,800 –> 00:23:38,100
\nFor the God that he loves the
\none true. <\/p>\n
\n00:23:38,100 –> 00:23:43,100
\nGod, he is now climbing the
\nMount of Olives in tears. <\/p>\n
\n00:23:46,600 –> 00:23:48,700
\nAnd saying, essentially I am
\navailable. <\/p>\n
\n00:23:49,200 –> 00:23:56,800
\nIt Is Well with My Soul.
\nWe continue on to Isaiah who has<\/p>\n
\n00:23:56,800 –> 00:24:01,400
\nsome of the most memorable
\nverses about being available, <\/p>\n
\n00:24:01,500 –> 00:24:06,400
\nIsaiah 6:8 through 9 and I heard
\nthe voice of the Lord saying, <\/p>\n
\n00:24:06,400 –> 00:24:08,400
\nwhom shall I send?
\nAnd who will go for us? <\/p>\n
\n00:24:08,600 –> 00:24:14,400
\nThen I said, here I am send me.
\nAnd he said, go and say to his <\/p>\n
\n00:24:14,400 –> 00:24:16,800
\npeople keep on hearing but do
\nnot understand. <\/p>\n
\n00:24:16,800 –> 00:24:18,900
\nKeep on seeing, but they do not
\nperceive. <\/p>\n
\n00:24:21,900 –> 00:24:26,200
\nAnd the parallel of Yahweh
\nasking Abraham to sacrifice his <\/p>\n
\n00:24:26,200 –> 00:24:32,200
\nson, after three days journey.
\nIs seen is brought to light. <\/p>\n
\n00:24:32,200 –> 00:24:38,600
\nFurthermore, in Isaiah God’s not
\nasking of us, anything that he’s<\/p>\n
\n00:24:38,600 –> 00:24:44,400
\nnot willing to do.
\nFor God’s asking us to be <\/p>\n
\n00:24:44,400 –> 00:24:46,600
\navailable.
\nWe’re seeing in some of these <\/p>\n
\n00:24:46,600 –> 00:24:49,900
\nverses now and Isaiah 52 verses
\nthree through six that God <\/p>\n
\n00:24:49,900 –> 00:24:53,600
\nhimself is available for thus,
\nsays Yahweh. <\/p>\n
\n00:24:53,800 –> 00:24:56,000
\nYou were sold for nothing and
\nshe’ll be redeemed without money<\/p>\n
\n00:24:56,200 –> 00:24:59,700
\nfor thus, says the Lord.
\nGod, my people went down at <\/p>\n
\n00:24:59,700 –> 00:25:02,700
\nfirst to Egypt to sojourn there
\nthen this area depressed, and <\/p>\n
\n00:25:02,700 –> 00:25:05,300
\nfor nothing.
\nNow, therefore, what I have <\/p>\n
\n00:25:05,300 –> 00:25:08,500
\nhere.
\nDeclares Yahweh seeing that, my <\/p>\n
\n00:25:08,500 –> 00:25:10,300
\npeople are taken away for
\nnothing. <\/p>\n
\n00:25:10,600 –> 00:25:15,500
\nThe ruler shall where to As
\nYahweh continually all the day, <\/p>\n
\n00:25:15,800 –> 00:25:19,000
\nmy name is despised.
\nTherefore, my people shall know <\/p>\n
\n00:25:19,400 –> 00:25:23,100
\nmy name therefore, in that day.
\nThey shall know. <\/p>\n
\n00:25:23,100 –> 00:25:26,700
\nIt was I who speak?
\nHere I am. <\/p>\n
\n00:25:30,300 –> 00:25:34,800
\nAgain, and Isaiah 58 verse 9,
\nthen you shall call and Yahweh <\/p>\n
\n00:25:34,800 –> 00:25:37,800
\nwill answer.
\nYou shall cry and he will say, <\/p>\n
\n00:25:38,100 –> 00:25:49,600
\nhere I am.
\nSometimes when I pray, I feel <\/p>\n
\n00:25:49,600 –> 00:25:52,900
\nlike I’m in a I’m in a bad
\nrelationship because all I do is<\/p>\n
\n00:25:52,908 –> 00:25:55,600
\ntalk about me.
\nAll I do is I ask for help them.<\/p>\n
\n00:25:55,800 –> 00:26:01,400
\nI’m always and I’m not faulting.
\nGod enough talking about his <\/p>\n
\n00:26:01,600 –> 00:26:08,300
\nBeauty and his majesty.
\nAnd here we have some absolute <\/p>\n
\n00:26:08,700 –> 00:26:14,300
\nspiritual heavyweights.
\nAnd all their examples, but <\/p>\n
\n00:26:14,300 –> 00:26:17,700
\nwhat’s not forget every single
\ninstance, right? <\/p>\n
\n00:26:17,700 –> 00:26:21,200
\nToday, tomorrow forever.
\nGod will be available. <\/p>\n
\n00:26:23,500 –> 00:26:28,400
\nAnd Isaiah concludes the Old
\nTestament references of here, I <\/p>\n
\n00:26:28,400 –> 00:26:31,800
\nam.
\nAnd we have one direct New <\/p>\n
\n00:26:31,800 –> 00:26:37,100
\nTestament reference.
\nThat really brings to light a <\/p>\n
\n00:26:37,100 –> 00:26:41,900
\nsupporting actor ananias in Acts
\n9. <\/p>\n
\n00:26:42,700 –> 00:26:47,300
\nWe all know the story of Paul
\nbeing struck blind, on his way <\/p>\n
\n00:26:47,400 –> 00:26:52,700
\nto persecute those belonging to
\nthe way in Damascus. <\/p>\n
\n00:26:56,800 –> 00:27:00,900
\nStarting up in verse 9 of Acts 9
\nand for three days. <\/p>\n
\n00:27:01,100 –> 00:27:03,600
\nAfter being struck blind, and
\ncalled by Jesus. <\/p>\n
\n00:27:03,700 –> 00:27:06,800
\nHe was without sight and neither
\nate nor drank. <\/p>\n
\n00:27:10,500 –> 00:27:13,100
\nVerse 10.
\nNow there was a disciple at the <\/p>\n
\n00:27:13,100 –> 00:27:19,100
\nmascis named ananias.
\nThe Lord said to him in a vision<\/p>\n
\n00:27:19,200 –> 00:27:23,100
\nananias and he said, Here I Am
\nLord. <\/p>\n
\n00:27:25,300 –> 00:27:28,400
\nLord said to him rise and go to
\nthe street called straight at <\/p>\n
\n00:27:28,400 –> 00:27:31,000
\nthe house of Judas.
\nLook for a man of Tarsus named <\/p>\n
\n00:27:31,000 –> 00:27:35,100
\nSaul for behold.
\nHe is praying and he has seen in<\/p>\n
\n00:27:35,100 –> 00:27:38,800
\na vision him.
\nA man named ananias come in and <\/p>\n
\n00:27:38,800 –> 00:27:41,900
\nlay his hand on him that he
\nmight regain his sight. <\/p>\n
\n00:27:42,600 –> 00:27:46,000
\nBut ananias answered Lord, I
\nhave heard from many about this <\/p>\n
\n00:27:46,000 –> 00:27:47,400
\nman.
\nHow much evil he has? <\/p>\n
\n00:27:47,400 –> 00:27:51,800
\nDone to your Saints in Jerusalem
\nand here he has Authority from <\/p>\n
\n00:27:51,800 –> 00:27:54,900
\nthe chief priests to bind all
\nwho call on your name. <\/p>\n
\n00:27:56,900 –> 00:27:59,600
\nBut I always said to him.
\nGo. <\/p>\n
\n00:28:00,700 –> 00:28:02,400
\nFor he is a chosen instrument of
\nmine. <\/p>\n
\n00:28:02,400 –> 00:28:06,100
\nCarry my name before the
\nGentiles and Kings and the <\/p>\n
\n00:28:06,100 –> 00:28:09,500
\nchildren of Israel for.
\nI will show him how much he must<\/p>\n
\n00:28:09,500 –> 00:28:16,000
\nsuffer for the sake of my name.
\nWithout any further, objection <\/p>\n
\n00:28:16,500 –> 00:28:21,600
\nand I departed into the house.
\nAnd this is, this is my favorite<\/p>\n
\n00:28:21,600 –> 00:28:31,200
\npart of this entire account.
\nAnanias is fully aware of the <\/p>\n
\n00:28:31,200 –> 00:28:36,700
\npower, the legal Authority,
\nthat’s all has to put him in. <\/p>\n
\n00:28:36,700 –> 00:28:42,700
\nAn is in prison, but what is the
\nfirst word that ananias says to <\/p>\n
\n00:28:42,700 –> 00:28:48,400
\nSaul?
\nWe read this in verse 17 and <\/p>\n
\n00:28:48,400 –> 00:28:56,500
\nlaying his hands on him.
\nHe said, brother Saul The Lord <\/p>\n
\n00:28:56,500 –> 00:29:00,900
\nJesus who appeared to you on the
\nroad by which you came has sent <\/p>\n
\n00:29:00,900 –> 00:29:04,300
\nme so that you may regain your
\nsight and be filled with the <\/p>\n
\n00:29:04,300 –> 00:29:09,000
\nHoly Spirit and immediately
\nsomething like the scales fell <\/p>\n
\n00:29:09,000 –> 00:29:13,200
\nfrom his eyes and he regained
\nhis sight and then he rose and <\/p>\n
\n00:29:13,200 –> 00:29:19,700
\nwas baptized taking food.
\nHe was strengthened For some <\/p>\n
\n00:29:19,700 –> 00:29:23,700
\ndays, he was with the disciples
\nat the mascis, the ones that he <\/p>\n
\n00:29:23,700 –> 00:29:27,700
\nwas supposed to persecute and
\nthrow in jail and he immediately<\/p>\n
\n00:29:27,700 –> 00:29:30,300
\nproclaimed.
\nJesus in the synagogues saying <\/p>\n
\n00:29:30,300 –> 00:29:44,500
\nhe is the son of God.
\nThis is the same Saul brother <\/p>\n
\n00:29:44,500 –> 00:29:47,900
\nsaw.
\nConverted to Paul renamed as <\/p>\n
\n00:29:47,900 –> 00:29:53,700
\nPaul who wrote in Romans 12
\nverse 1 that we are to offer our<\/p>\n
\n00:29:53,700 –> 00:29:57,000
\nbody as a Living Sacrifice.
\nHow do we do that? <\/p>\n
\n00:29:57,000 –> 00:29:59,800
\nHow do we offer our body as a
\nLiving Sacrifice? <\/p>\n
\n00:30:01,700 –> 00:30:06,800
\nAny time we’re being called.
\nIt’s about us saying here I am. <\/p>\n
\n00:30:07,300 –> 00:30:13,500
\nI am available.
\nI can shut the TV off. <\/p>\n
\n00:30:13,600 –> 00:30:19,000
\nI can get a sitter.
\nI am available for a moment, <\/p>\n
\n00:30:19,600 –> 00:30:24,400
\nplease, brothers and sisters
\nhere in online reflect on the <\/p>\n
\n00:30:24,400 –> 00:30:31,100
\npast year.
\nHow has God called you to <\/p>\n
\n00:30:31,100 –> 00:30:40,500
\nservice?
\nAnd how have you responded to <\/p>\n
\n00:30:40,508 –> 00:30:48,000
\nthat call?
\nDid you embrace it? <\/p>\n
\n00:30:48,800 –> 00:30:53,500
\nDid you say I am available or
\nare you like me and making <\/p>\n
\n00:30:53,500 –> 00:30:58,500
\nexcuses?
\nDuring the announcements, we <\/p>\n
\n00:30:58,500 –> 00:31:02,300
\njust had a call to action 8,000
\nchristadelphians. <\/p>\n
\n00:31:02,300 –> 00:31:07,000
\nBrothers and sisters are in need
\ndire need of our help. <\/p>\n
\n00:31:08,500 –> 00:31:14,000
\nWe think a snow day, makes it
\ntough. this is flooding, that is<\/p>\n
\n00:31:16,200 –> 00:31:20,800
\ndisplacing.
\nCountless people three-year-olds<\/p>\n
\n00:31:20,800 –> 00:31:25,300
\nbeing lost in these camps as
\nthey’re trying to seek Refuge. <\/p>\n
\n00:31:26,100 –> 00:31:28,600
\nThis is trial.
\nLike, we don’t even understand. <\/p>\n
\n00:31:34,600 –> 00:31:38,100
\nBut we find a way to make an
\nexcuse, right, but we have these<\/p>\n
\n00:31:38,100 –> 00:31:42,400
\nbiblical champions of Faith to
\nlook to for excitation. <\/p>\n
\n00:31:45,400 –> 00:31:49,600
\nThere’s some who might say, you
\nknow, I’m just too old. <\/p>\n
\n00:31:50,600 –> 00:31:55,400
\nAbraham was over 100 years old.
\nWhen he said here, I am. <\/p>\n
\n00:31:55,600 –> 00:31:59,400
\nAnd Jacob wasn’t too far off
\neither when he went to Egypt. <\/p>\n
\n00:32:02,300 –> 00:32:05,700
\nSo, maybe you shouldn’t be
\nshoveling the steps but you can <\/p>\n
\n00:32:05,700 –> 00:32:09,100
\nstill become a spiritual Mentor,
\nmentor to younger, brother <\/p>\n
\n00:32:09,100 –> 00:32:13,000
\nsister.
\nSome might say conversely, I’m <\/p>\n
\n00:32:13,000 –> 00:32:20,100
\ntoo young.
\nJosephus claims Samuel was 12 <\/p>\n
\n00:32:20,100 –> 00:32:24,100
\nyears old when he answered the
\ncall from Yahweh. <\/p>\n
\n00:32:24,100 –> 00:32:29,000
\nHere I am.
\nSo maybe there’s some friends <\/p>\n
\n00:32:29,000 –> 00:32:32,500
\nout there that you know I still
\ndon’t feel comfortable enough. <\/p>\n
\n00:32:32,500 –> 00:32:34,100
\nYeah.
\nI don’t feel mature enough yet <\/p>\n
\n00:32:34,100 –> 00:32:39,000
\nto get baptized I don’t quite
\nfeel comfortable yet to speak. <\/p>\n
\n00:32:39,000 –> 00:32:42,000
\nThat’s fair.
\nYou can still pick up a shovel <\/p>\n
\n00:32:42,700 –> 00:32:45,200
\nwith all due respect to our snow
\nshoveling crew. <\/p>\n
\n00:32:45,900 –> 00:32:49,100
\nThey’re getting kind of tenured.
\nIf you notice last Sunday, they <\/p>\n
\n00:32:49,100 –> 00:32:52,300
\nwere kind of there was there
\nwere, there were some tough <\/p>\n
\n00:32:52,300 –> 00:32:57,300
\nwalking around.
\nThat’s a call to action for us <\/p>\n
\n00:32:57,300 –> 00:33:04,600
\nyoung people.
\nWell, you see I can’t speak. <\/p>\n
\n00:33:04,600 –> 00:33:08,000
\nWell, I can’t serve from the
\nplatform. <\/p>\n
\n00:33:08,900 –> 00:33:11,700
\nWell, that’s exactly what Moses
\nsaid to when he was called to <\/p>\n
\n00:33:11,700 –> 00:33:15,700
\naction.
\nHe made some objections. <\/p>\n
\n00:33:16,700 –> 00:33:19,200
\nGranted but God provided him.
\nHis brother. <\/p>\n
\n00:33:19,200 –> 00:33:21,500
\nAaron said, Aaron will speak for
\nyou. <\/p>\n
\n00:33:21,900 –> 00:33:26,100
\nI need a leader leaders, do not
\nhave to be up here. <\/p>\n
\n00:33:30,700 –> 00:33:32,800
\nWell, not in the right place in
\nmy life. <\/p>\n
\n00:33:32,800 –> 00:33:35,200
\nI can’t answer the call.
\nI’m not in a good spot <\/p>\n
\n00:33:35,200 –> 00:33:37,300
\nprofessionally.
\nPhysically. <\/p>\n
\n00:33:38,300 –> 00:33:43,700
\nWell, move Jacob had to relocate
\nhis entire Ferrum family, herds <\/p>\n
\n00:33:43,700 –> 00:33:47,200
\nof livestock to where God wanted
\nthem to be the promised land. <\/p>\n
\n00:33:47,300 –> 00:33:50,100
\nOh, and then in his old age, he
\nhad to move again. <\/p>\n
\n00:33:52,600 –> 00:33:55,600
\nIf there’s a career, if there’s
\na profession, if there is <\/p>\n
\n00:33:55,900 –> 00:33:58,200
\nrelationship something that’s
\navoiding us from answering the <\/p>\n
\n00:33:58,200 –> 00:34:02,000
\ncall.
\nThen we have to make these <\/p>\n
\n00:34:02,000 –> 00:34:10,800
\nadjustments in our lives. it’s
\nnot that, I’m just I’m in a low <\/p>\n
\n00:34:10,800 –> 00:34:14,500
\nPlace, spiritually.
\nIn my life. <\/p>\n
\n00:34:17,699 –> 00:34:23,400
\nThat I can resonate with.
\nYou know, who else can to King <\/p>\n
\n00:34:23,400 –> 00:34:26,800
\nDavid?
\nAs he’s climbing the Mount of <\/p>\n
\n00:34:26,800 –> 00:34:32,100
\nOlives weeping as he flees his
\nown son Absalom. <\/p>\n
\n00:34:34,400 –> 00:34:38,900
\nDavid shows.
\nThat faith is kinetic. <\/p>\n
\n00:34:41,300 –> 00:34:44,900
\nSometimes it takes just looking
\nout for someone else and helping<\/p>\n
\n00:34:44,900 –> 00:34:49,100
\nthem, and you somehow feel
\nbetter with your own spiritual <\/p>\n
\n00:34:49,100 –> 00:34:54,000
\nwell-being.
\nAll right, fair enough. <\/p>\n
\n00:34:54,699 –> 00:34:57,400
\nBut it’s it’s challenging, it
\nmight be risky. <\/p>\n
\n00:34:58,200 –> 00:35:01,800
\nWell, look to ananias, you want
\nto talk about risky, he <\/p>\n
\n00:35:02,000 –> 00:35:06,300
\nextended.
\nThe right hand of Fellowship, <\/p>\n
\n00:35:06,900 –> 00:35:11,900
\nbrother saw to the same man that
\nhad documents to put him in <\/p>\n
\n00:35:11,900 –> 00:35:18,300
\njail.
\nWe see in all of these <\/p>\n
\n00:35:18,300 –> 00:35:21,400
\ninstances, a theme of objections
\nat times or sometimes <\/p>\n
\n00:35:21,400 –> 00:35:23,600
\navailability, but there’s going
\nto be challenges. <\/p>\n
\n00:35:23,600 –> 00:35:27,000
\nEvery single one of them is
\nevery single one time we hear <\/p>\n
\n00:35:27,000 –> 00:35:30,600
\nhere, I am, there’s a challenge
\nspiritually physically. <\/p>\n
\n00:35:32,100 –> 00:35:36,300
\nBut God sees us through it.
\nAnd he helps every single <\/p>\n
\n00:35:36,300 –> 00:35:39,900
\nchampion of Faith to produce a
\nfavorable, providential result. <\/p>\n
\n00:35:44,000 –> 00:35:47,500
\nIt almost makes me think, What
\nmiracles have I been missing? <\/p>\n
\n00:35:47,600 –> 00:35:51,200
\nWhat action, what service have I
\nmissed? <\/p>\n
\n00:35:51,200 –> 00:35:53,200
\nBecause I personally making
\nexcuses. <\/p>\n
\n00:35:57,000 –> 00:36:00,200
\nMakes me feel.
\nLes. <\/p>\n
\n00:36:02,800 –> 00:36:08,100
\nBut then we have the blessing.
\nOf looking towards this table. <\/p>\n
\n00:36:10,600 –> 00:36:17,700
\nTo relieve these burdens.
\nAs we think about not only <\/p>\n
\n00:36:17,700 –> 00:36:27,100
\nJesus. and, His burial for three
\ndays. <\/p>\n
\n00:36:27,400 –> 00:36:30,900
\nSimilar to how Saul was blind
\nfor three days, not being able <\/p>\n
\n00:36:30,900 –> 00:36:34,000
\nto eat or drink.
\nBut we also think about our <\/p>\n
\n00:36:34,000 –> 00:36:41,100
\nheavenly father Parallel to
\nAbraham having to walk for three<\/p>\n
\n00:36:41,100 –> 00:36:45,200
\ndays with his son.
\nDealing with the emotional <\/p>\n
\n00:36:45,200 –> 00:36:48,700
\nburden.
\nOf sacrificing his beloved Son. <\/p>\n
\n00:36:52,500 –> 00:36:57,200
\nThe Gospel of John chapter 8
\nverse 42, gives us perspective <\/p>\n
\n00:36:57,900 –> 00:37:01,900
\ninto how all of this is made
\npossible through Christ. <\/p>\n
\n00:37:06,400 –> 00:37:10,300
\nFirst 42, John chapter 8, Jesus
\nsaid to them. <\/p>\n
\n00:37:10,900 –> 00:37:16,000
\nIf God, we’re your father you
\nwould love me for I came from <\/p>\n
\n00:37:16,000 –> 00:37:20,400
\nGod.
\nAnd I I am here. <\/p>\n
\n00:37:22,500 –> 00:37:27,000
\nI came out of my own accord, but
\nhe sent me. <\/p>\n
