2
\n00:00:02,700 –> 00:00:05,000
\nFord to speak to us to the
\nsubject. <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:05,000 –> 00:00:07,100
\nThank God for hurdles brother
\nBob. <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:10,000 –> 00:00:12,800
\nGood afternoon, my beloved,
\nBrothers and Sisters of the <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:12,808 –> 00:00:16,100
\nLord, Jesus Christ.
\nAnd all you young people and all<\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:16,100 –> 00:00:19,700
\nour friends, I can’t tell you
\nhow happy I am to be here with <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:19,700 –> 00:00:21,700
\nyou.
\nI never thought I’d be back. <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:22,300 –> 00:00:27,000
\nAnd here I am again, and I’m so
\nthankful that you were kind <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:27,000 –> 00:00:30,600
\nenough to remember to invite me.
\nI have this problem. <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:30,600 –> 00:00:34,100
\nIf you invite me, I have to say
\nyes and sometimes it disturbs my<\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:34,100 –> 00:00:39,700
\nwife a little bit, but If you
\ncan do something God’s asking <\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:39,700 –> 00:00:42,300
\nyou to do it, I believe we need
\nto try to do it. <\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:43,000 –> 00:00:45,500
\nSo as long as God gives us the
\nstrength, we’re going to try, <\/p>\n
14
\n00:00:46,100 –> 00:00:49,400
\nbut it’s sure getting less every
\nday as you get older. <\/p>\n
15
\n00:00:50,300 –> 00:00:57,700
\nI can say something to you that
\nnone of you can say, I left Los <\/p>\n
16
\n00:00:57,700 –> 00:01:05,900
\nAngeles, Wednesday evening.
\nAnd I did not sin on Thursday. <\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:09,100 –> 00:01:11,800
\nBecause when we landed, it was
\nFriday. <\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:13,700 –> 00:01:18,000
\nSo I had no Thursday to sin
\nunfortunately on the way back. <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:18,000 –> 00:01:23,700
\nI get to Mondays, so I probably
\nwill make up for lost time, but <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:23,700 –> 00:01:26,800
\nit’s wonderful to think that you
\ncan get in an airplane and a few<\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:26,800 –> 00:01:29,200
\nhours later be with so many
\npeople. <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:29,200 –> 00:01:32,100
\nYou know, and love that you
\nhaven’t seen for such a long <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:32,100 –> 00:01:34,300
\ntime.
\nI know there’s some new ones <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:34,300 –> 00:01:38,000
\nhere that we are meeting for the
\nfirst time and I’m looking <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:38,000 –> 00:01:41,100
\nforward to talking to you and
\nit’s certainly wonderful to see <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:41,100 –> 00:01:44,000
\nthe faces of those.
\nThat we’ve known and loved for <\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:44,000 –> 00:01:46,400
\nover the years.
\nI see Stephen Edgington down <\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:46,400 –> 00:01:51,600
\nthere.
\nI raced him in 1979 across a <\/p>\n
29
\n00:01:51,600 –> 00:01:59,100
\nbridge, and I won because I
\ncheated, I’ve been doing that <\/p>\n
30
\n00:01:59,100 –> 00:02:01,600
\nall over the world, but the last
\ntime I did it, I was already in <\/p>\n
31
\n00:02:01,607 –> 00:02:05,200
\nmy 70s and they the guy beat me
\nso bad. <\/p>\n
32
\n00:02:05,200 –> 00:02:08,800
\nI could hardly see him at the
\nend but so I don’t do that <\/p>\n
33
\n00:02:08,800 –> 00:02:11,300
\nanymore.
\nBut I, maybe I could beat him. <\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:11,300 –> 00:02:15,300
\nNow, we both age the same amount
\nexcept I had such a big head <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:15,300 –> 00:02:18,400
\nstart.
\nWell, our subject gives the way <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:18,400 –> 00:02:23,600
\nof life.
\nThere are two ways you can go in<\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:23,600 –> 00:02:27,200
\nyour life.
\nAnd you have a choice. <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:28,400 –> 00:02:32,100
\nWe can choose the way of life,
\nwhich is our subject and live <\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:32,100 –> 00:02:35,600
\nforever.
\nWe can choose a way of death. <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:36,600 –> 00:02:39,600
\nAnd perish forever.
\nNow that doesn’t sound like a <\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:39,600 –> 00:02:41,600
\nvery difficult decision to make
\ndozen. <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:43,400 –> 00:02:47,600
\nLife or death.
\nAnd yet, I know you’re going to <\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:48,100 –> 00:02:52,200
\nrealize this is true.
\nNearly nearly everybody in the <\/p>\n
44
\n00:02:52,200 –> 00:02:55,900
\nwhole wide world.
\nEvery year, every decade, every <\/p>\n
45
\n00:02:55,900 –> 00:03:02,100
\nCentury they all choose death
\nbecause they do not want to take<\/p>\n
46
\n00:03:02,700 –> 00:03:05,000
\nthe way of life.
\nAnd so that’s going to be our <\/p>\n
47
\n00:03:05,000 –> 00:03:07,500
\nsubject.
\nHow can we be sure that we have <\/p>\n
48
\n00:03:07,500 –> 00:03:10,300
\ntaken and are in the way of
\nlife? <\/p>\n
49
\n00:03:11,500 –> 00:03:15,800
\nSo our studies is sass afternoon
\nthis evening and tomorrow, God <\/p>\n
50
\n00:03:15,800 –> 00:03:21,000
\nwilling are going to try to help
\nus see clearly the way and then <\/p>\n
51
\n00:03:21,000 –> 00:03:25,400
\nwalk ye in it.
\nThe prophet Isaiah told us and <\/p>\n
52
\n00:03:25,400 –> 00:03:27,800
\nThine Eyes shall hear a voice
\nbehind me. <\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:27,800 –> 00:03:33,300
\nThese saying this is the way
\nwalk ye in it. <\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:34,300 –> 00:03:36,800
\nWhen you turn to the right hand
\nand when you turn to the left <\/p>\n
55
\n00:03:36,900 –> 00:03:39,900
\nand that’s what we need to do,
\nwe need to hear this voice of <\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:39,900 –> 00:03:42,900
\nGod, which we get from our
\nscriptures saying, this is the <\/p>\n
57
\n00:03:42,900 –> 00:03:47,100
\nway walk.
\nYe in it in Jeremiah’s day, the <\/p>\n
58
\n00:03:47,100 –> 00:03:50,600
\nLord said to Jeremiah and to
\nthis people ye shall say. <\/p>\n
59
\n00:03:51,200 –> 00:03:55,200
\nThus saith the Lord behold I set
\nbefore you the way of life and <\/p>\n
60
\n00:03:55,200 –> 00:03:59,800
\nthe way of death.
\nSimple right choose life, most <\/p>\n
61
\n00:03:59,800 –> 00:04:04,700
\npeople don’t but we want to make
\nsure that all of us make the <\/p>\n
62
\n00:04:04,700 –> 00:04:10,500
\nright decision and choose life.
\nAgain words you’re familiar with<\/p>\n
63
\n00:04:10,500 –> 00:04:12,800
\nand you might want to look them
\nup there and Deuteronomy chapter<\/p>\n
64
\n00:04:12,800 –> 00:04:16,700
\n30, because Moses is challenging
\nthe children of Israel just <\/p>\n
65
\n00:04:16,700 –> 00:04:20,000
\nbefore he dies.
\nAnd he’s an old man, he’s even <\/p>\n
66
\n00:04:20,000 –> 00:04:24,200
\nolder than I am and that’s
\npretty old and he’ll he calls <\/p>\n
67
\n00:04:24,200 –> 00:04:27,800
\nthem together as you have come
\ntogether this afternoon and he <\/p>\n
68
\n00:04:27,800 –> 00:04:31,400
\nsaid, I call Heaven and Earth to
\nwitness against you this day. <\/p>\n
69
\n00:04:33,100 –> 00:04:40,600
\nI have set before you life.
\nAnd death blessing and cursing. <\/p>\n
70
\n00:04:43,200 –> 00:04:47,100
\nChoose life that you and your
\ndescendants may live. <\/p>\n
71
\n00:04:48,000 –> 00:04:50,400
\nAnd again you if you know the
\nhistory of the children of <\/p>\n
72
\n00:04:50,400 –> 00:04:56,600
\nIsrael nearly all of them chose
\ndeath out of some two and a half<\/p>\n
73
\n00:04:56,600 –> 00:05:02,000
\nmillion or more, who left Egypt
\nto of those original ones. <\/p>\n
74
\n00:05:02,000 –> 00:05:06,900
\nOver 20, walked across the
\nJordan, into the promised land, <\/p>\n
75
\n00:05:07,300 –> 00:05:11,600
\nJoshua and Caleb.
\nAll the rest, perished in the <\/p>\n
76
\n00:05:11,600 –> 00:05:16,200
\nwilderness, And so, history
\nattests to the fact that most <\/p>\n
77
\n00:05:16,200 –> 00:05:21,500
\npeople do not choose the way of
\nlife, and we want you to do <\/p>\n
78
\n00:05:21,500 –> 00:05:25,900
\nthat.
\nNow the term the way is a <\/p>\n
79
\n00:05:25,907 –> 00:05:29,900
\nbiblical term and we don’t use
\nit as much today as we used to <\/p>\n
80
\n00:05:29,900 –> 00:05:35,500
\nin years past.
\nIn fact, the word pairs 374 <\/p>\n
81
\n00:05:35,500 –> 00:05:39,600
\ntimes in the King James version
\nof the Bible and many years ago <\/p>\n
82
\n00:05:39,600 –> 00:05:41,700
\nin the christadelphians
\nmagazine. <\/p>\n
83
\n00:05:41,700 –> 00:05:43,700
\nAnd what they used to call the
\nintelligence section. <\/p>\n
84
\n00:05:43,700 –> 00:05:47,800
\nIt’s, it’s really the news, but
\nthey would report Court <\/p>\n
85
\n00:05:47,800 –> 00:05:52,200
\nsomething like this.
\nOur dear sister X, Y Zed, has <\/p>\n
86
\n00:05:52,200 –> 00:05:55,300
\nfallen asleep.
\nIn the Lord, she had been in the<\/p>\n
87
\n00:05:55,300 –> 00:06:06,100
\nway for over 60 years.
\nNow we know what they meant, but<\/p>\n
88
\n00:06:06,100 –> 00:06:09,200
\nit sounds like she’s was a
\nblocking traffic for a very long<\/p>\n
89
\n00:06:09,200 –> 00:06:15,200
\ntime.
\nBut this phrase the way is quite<\/p>\n
90
\n00:06:15,200 –> 00:06:16,700
\nscriptural.
\nSo we’re just going to look at a<\/p>\n
91
\n00:06:16,707 –> 00:06:20,100
\nfew of them.
\nSolomon says, he is in the way <\/p>\n
92
\n00:06:20,100 –> 00:06:22,600
\nof life that keepeth
\ninstruction. <\/p>\n
93
\n00:06:22,600 –> 00:06:25,100
\nSo now there’s a little clue for
\nus if you want to stay in the <\/p>\n
94
\n00:06:25,100 –> 00:06:26,600
\nway of life.
\nYou got to listen to some <\/p>\n
95
\n00:06:26,600 –> 00:06:28,800
\ninstructions.
\nInstructions are going to find <\/p>\n
96
\n00:06:28,800 –> 00:06:33,500
\nher in our Bible.
\nAnd so he says, I have taught <\/p>\n
97
\n00:06:33,500 –> 00:06:36,300
\nthee in the way of judgment and
\nwisdom. <\/p>\n
98
\n00:06:36,300 –> 00:06:40,300
\nI have led the in right paths.
\nThe Bible was written so that we<\/p>\n
99
\n00:06:40,300 –> 00:06:43,300
\nwould know the way of wisdom and
\njudgment. <\/p>\n
100
\n00:06:43,500 –> 00:06:47,400
\nIt’s clear that God wants us to
\navoid the wrong way. <\/p>\n
101
\n00:06:48,300 –> 00:06:51,800
\nSo Solomon says, forsake the
\nfoolish and live and go in the <\/p>\n
102
\n00:06:51,800 –> 00:06:54,700
\nway of understanding.
\nHe is in the way of life, that <\/p>\n
103
\n00:06:54,700 –> 00:06:58,600
\nkeepeth instructions in the way
\nof righteousness is life, <\/p>\n
104
\n00:06:59,000 –> 00:07:02,700
\nrighteousness, keepeth him.
\nThat is upright in the way. <\/p>\n
105
\n00:07:04,000 –> 00:07:07,100
\nThe hoary head is a Crown of
\nGlory, if it be found in the way<\/p>\n
106
\n00:07:07,100 –> 00:07:10,100
\nof righteousness.
\nHe, that is upright in the way. <\/p>\n
107
\n00:07:11,700 –> 00:07:15,000
\nIs abomination of the wicked.
\nYou Wicked people don’t like you<\/p>\n
108
\n00:07:15,000 –> 00:07:19,500
\nto be in the way of Truth.
\nThey don’t like you to stand up <\/p>\n
109
\n00:07:19,500 –> 00:07:23,300
\nfor, what’s right?
\nAnd so Solomon, actually, warned<\/p>\n
110
\n00:07:23,300 –> 00:07:28,500
\nus and says, there is a way that
\nseemeth, right unto a man, But <\/p>\n
111
\n00:07:28,500 –> 00:07:30,500
\nthe end thereof are the ways of
\ndeath. <\/p>\n
112
\n00:07:31,800 –> 00:07:37,200
\nSo the consequences of choosing
\nthe wrong way, is fatal to <\/p>\n
113
\n00:07:37,200 –> 00:07:40,200
\nchoose the right way, is life
\nand peace. <\/p>\n
114
\n00:07:41,400 –> 00:07:44,500
\nAnd so it’s easy for us to
\ndeceive ourselves and what we <\/p>\n
115
\n00:07:44,500 –> 00:07:47,800
\nwant to really do something, how
\noften we rationalize their, what<\/p>\n
116
\n00:07:47,800 –> 00:07:51,600
\nwe want to do is right when we
\nreally know it isn’t. <\/p>\n
117
\n00:07:52,400 –> 00:07:56,300
\nSo Solomon warns us in the very
\nfirst chapter of his Proverbs. <\/p>\n
118
\n00:07:56,300 –> 00:08:02,900
\nMy son walk not thou in the way
\nof them refrain thy foot from <\/p>\n
119
\n00:08:03,100 –> 00:08:06,800
\ntheir path.
\nYoung people. <\/p>\n
120
\n00:08:08,500 –> 00:08:13,700
\nHave a lot of peer pressure as
\nyou get older, your peers, start<\/p>\n
121
\n00:08:13,700 –> 00:08:20,800
\ndying, my father-in-law, lived
\nwith us till he was 102 and we <\/p>\n
122
\n00:08:20,800 –> 00:08:23,500
\nhad a big party for him of
\nchristadelphians on his 100th. <\/p>\n
123
\n00:08:23,500 –> 00:08:28,700
\nBirthday and I got up and I
\nsaid, Grandad, we call him <\/p>\n
124
\n00:08:28,700 –> 00:08:31,300
\naffectionately Granddad has
\nsolved the peer pressure <\/p>\n
125
\n00:08:31,300 –> 00:08:36,100
\nproblem.
\nHe didn’t have any peers, he was<\/p>\n
126
\n00:08:36,100 –> 00:08:38,799
\n100 and nobody else in the room
\nwas anywhere near that. <\/p>\n
127
\n00:08:39,400 –> 00:08:44,000
\nBut we do have pure pressure
\nproblem and so saw missing. <\/p>\n
128
\n00:08:44,000 –> 00:08:47,300
\nDon’t listen to those people who
\nwant to tell you to do the wrong<\/p>\n
129
\n00:08:47,300 –> 00:08:52,000
\nthings.
\nAnd so we read in John chapter <\/p>\n
130
\n00:08:52,000 –> 00:08:55,800
\n14, Jesus, trying to comfort us
\nand he says, let not your heart <\/p>\n
131
\n00:08:55,800 –> 00:08:59,100
\nbe troubled.
\nYou have troubles. <\/p>\n
132
\n00:08:59,100 –> 00:09:00,700
\nI know that you can’t get a room
\nof people. <\/p>\n
133
\n00:09:00,700 –> 00:09:02,700
\nThis big and not have people a
\nlot of troubles. <\/p>\n
134
\n00:09:02,900 –> 00:09:06,400
\nYou know, the only people in the
\nworld had no trouble at all, are<\/p>\n
135
\n00:09:06,400 –> 00:09:09,900
\ndead.
\nBe glad you have a few problems <\/p>\n
136
\n00:09:09,900 –> 00:09:13,600
\nthat shows you’re alive.
\nAnd so let not your heart be <\/p>\n
137
\n00:09:13,600 –> 00:09:15,000
\ntroubled, you believe in God
\nbelieve. <\/p>\n
138
\n00:09:15,000 –> 00:09:20,700
\nAlso in me, then he said whether
\nI go, you know, and the way, you<\/p>\n
139
\n00:09:20,700 –> 00:09:24,600
\nknow, we’re talking about the
\nway they didn’t know what he was<\/p>\n
140
\n00:09:24,600 –> 00:09:28,600
\ntalking about.
\nThomas was bold enough to speak <\/p>\n
141
\n00:09:28,600 –> 00:09:32,600
\nup and ask the question Palmer
\nsays, Lord, we know not whither.<\/p>\n
142
\n00:09:32,600 –> 00:09:35,500
\nYou’re going, how do we know the
\nway? <\/p>\n
143
\n00:09:37,200 –> 00:09:42,500
\nJesus said, I am the way, the
\ntruth and the life. <\/p>\n
144
\n00:09:43,100 –> 00:09:48,100
\nNo man cometh unto the father,
\nbut by me, so the right way, the<\/p>\n
145
\n00:09:48,100 –> 00:09:54,500
\nonly way is to follow Jesus.
\nWho is the way the truth and the<\/p>\n
146
\n00:09:54,500 –> 00:09:58,700
\nlife?
\nAnd so Jesus said, my sheep hear<\/p>\n
147
\n00:09:58,700 –> 00:10:03,500
\nmy voice, I know them and they
\nfollow me. <\/p>\n
148
\n00:10:04,500 –> 00:10:10,700
\nSo are you following Jesus?
\nSo our goal is to follow Jesus. <\/p>\n
149
\n00:10:11,300 –> 00:10:16,700
\nHe says if any man will serve me
\nlet him follow me and where I am<\/p>\n
150
\n00:10:16,700 –> 00:10:21,600
\nthere shall also my servant be
\nif any man serve me him will my <\/p>\n
151
\n00:10:21,600 –> 00:10:27,200
\nfather honor And then he said,
\nIf any man will come after me <\/p>\n
152
\n00:10:27,500 –> 00:10:32,400
\nlet him deny himself, take up
\nhis cross and follow me. <\/p>\n
153
\n00:10:35,000 –> 00:10:38,300
\nNow what Jesus is saying is it’s
\nnot going to be easy. <\/p>\n
154
\n00:10:39,600 –> 00:10:42,100
\nHe’s saying, if you want to
\nfollow Jesus, you have to pick <\/p>\n
155
\n00:10:42,100 –> 00:10:45,600
\nup a cross and follow him.
\nAnd you know what crosses were <\/p>\n
156
\n00:10:45,600 –> 00:10:50,200
\nfor, they were to die on.
\nWe don’t literally died on a <\/p>\n
157
\n00:10:50,200 –> 00:10:53,100
\ncross, we have to crucify our
\nflesh. <\/p>\n
158
\n00:10:53,100 –> 00:10:56,400
\nWe have to stop doing those
\nthings that our body tells us <\/p>\n
159
\n00:10:56,600 –> 00:11:01,000
\nthat it wants to do.
\nSo these things have I spoken <\/p>\n
160
\n00:11:01,000 –> 00:11:02,900
\nunto you that in me you may have
\npeace. <\/p>\n
161
\n00:11:02,900 –> 00:11:06,200
\nHe says in the world you will
\nhave tribulation just but cheer <\/p>\n
162
\n00:11:06,200 –> 00:11:08,900
\nup.
\nI’ve overcome the world. <\/p>\n
163
\n00:11:09,100 –> 00:11:11,300
\nDid you hear what he said?
\nHe’s a you’re going to have <\/p>\n
164
\n00:11:11,300 –> 00:11:13,900
\ntrouble.
\nBig trouble, shura. <\/p>\n
165
\n00:11:15,300 –> 00:11:17,300
\nThat sounds like a contradiction
\nof terms, doesn’t it? <\/p>\n
166
\n00:11:17,400 –> 00:11:20,600
\nYou’re going to have trouble and
\nfood to cheer up and that’s what<\/p>\n
167
\n00:11:20,600 –> 00:11:22,700
\nJesus is saying.
\nAnd that’s what we should be <\/p>\n
168
\n00:11:22,700 –> 00:11:25,800
\ntrying to do because we’re going
\nto talk about something in this <\/p>\n
169
\n00:11:25,800 –> 00:11:28,200
\nfirst class that you’ve heard
\nbefore. <\/p>\n
170
\n00:11:28,400 –> 00:11:30,500
\nI am not going to tell you
\nanything, you haven’t already <\/p>\n
171
\n00:11:30,500 –> 00:11:33,200
\nheard because if I did it
\nprobably would be wrong. <\/p>\n
172
\n00:11:33,700 –> 00:11:35,700
\nYou’re all better Bible students
\nthan I am. <\/p>\n
173
\n00:11:36,300 –> 00:11:38,600
\nBut I’m going to try to stir up
\nyour pure Minds by way of <\/p>\n
174
\n00:11:38,600 –> 00:11:41,100
\nremembrance and try to make it
\nstick. <\/p>\n
175
\n00:11:41,400 –> 00:11:43,700
\nSo that when I thought goes in
\nhere, it doesn’t go flying out <\/p>\n
176
\n00:11:43,700 –> 00:11:45,300
\nthere.
\nWe’re going to try to put In the<\/p>\n
177
\n00:11:45,300 –> 00:11:47,900
\nmiddle and you’ll hang up in the
\nthoughts will stay in the middle<\/p>\n
178
\n00:11:48,000 –> 00:11:49,700
\nas we try to present them to
\nyou. <\/p>\n
179
\n00:11:50,400 –> 00:11:54,500
\nAnd so Jesus is saying you’re
\ngoing to have trouble cheer up, <\/p>\n
180
\n00:11:55,300 –> 00:12:01,000
\nI’ve overcome so, can you And
\nthat’s why Paul who understood <\/p>\n
181
\n00:12:01,000 –> 00:12:04,100
\nthat said I can do all things
\nthrough Christ. <\/p>\n
182
\n00:12:04,600 –> 00:12:09,700
\nWho strengthens me?
\nHe could and you can too. <\/p>\n
183
\n00:12:10,500 –> 00:12:13,400
\nSo Paul traveled among the
\nEcclesia has and he tried to <\/p>\n
184
\n00:12:13,400 –> 00:12:16,600
\ncomfort them with similar words.
\nHe said he said that he’d <\/p>\n
185
\n00:12:16,600 –> 00:12:20,600
\nexhorted them to continue in the
\nfaith and that we must through <\/p>\n
186
\n00:12:20,600 –> 00:12:24,500
\nmuch tribulation enter into the
\nkingdom of God. <\/p>\n
187
\n00:12:25,700 –> 00:12:31,000
\nSo Paul is telling us like Jesus
\ntold us that you’re going to <\/p>\n
188
\n00:12:31,000 –> 00:12:35,500
\nhave troubles, be followers of
\nme, said Paul them, even as I am<\/p>\n
189
\n00:12:36,000 –> 00:12:38,800
\nof Christ.
\nSo the first lesson we want to <\/p>\n
190
\n00:12:38,800 –> 00:12:42,700
\nlearn in this class is that the
\nway of life is a way, less <\/p>\n
191
\n00:12:42,700 –> 00:12:47,300
\ntraveled, it’s strewn with
\nproblems and hurdles, and <\/p>\n
192
\n00:12:47,300 –> 00:12:52,300
\npotholes and detours.
\nAnd you have to expect them and <\/p>\n
193
\n00:12:52,300 –> 00:12:57,100
\nknow how to conquer them.
\nBecause that’s Means to overcome<\/p>\n
194
\n00:12:57,200 –> 00:12:58,900
\nnow.
\nNot too many years ago. <\/p>\n
195
\n00:12:58,900 –> 00:13:02,500
\nYou had the Olympics here in
\nSydney and it was a very big <\/p>\n
196
\n00:13:02,500 –> 00:13:06,000
\ndeal for the whole world and
\nparticularly for New South Wales<\/p>\n
197
\n00:13:06,400 –> 00:13:08,200
\nand certainly for the city of
\nSydney. <\/p>\n
198
\n00:13:08,800 –> 00:13:12,800
\nNow, just imagine that you were
\nsomehow able to get tickets to <\/p>\n
199
\n00:13:12,800 –> 00:13:18,500
\nthe Field and Stream field and
\ntrack the fence and you’ve got <\/p>\n
200
\n00:13:18,500 –> 00:13:20,500
\nin the stand.
\nAnd this place is packed and I <\/p>\n
201
\n00:13:20,500 –> 00:13:22,700
\nknow it was packed.
\nI don’t know if any of you went,<\/p>\n
202
\n00:13:22,700 –> 00:13:24,600
\nI had never been to Olympic
\ngame. <\/p>\n
203
\n00:13:25,700 –> 00:13:29,300
\nWe had one Los Angeles but I
\ncouldn’t get tickets but just <\/p>\n
204
\n00:13:29,300 –> 00:13:32,600
\nimagine.
\nNow we’re in the stands and your<\/p>\n
205
\n00:13:32,600 –> 00:13:37,600
\nboy from New South Wales is the
\nrunner for the high hurdles <\/p>\n
206
\n00:13:37,800 –> 00:13:41,800
\nrepresenting the great country
\nof Australia and the band is <\/p>\n
207
\n00:13:41,800 –> 00:13:45,300
\nplaying in the waves of flags
\nare waving and we’re getting all<\/p>\n
208
\n00:13:45,300 –> 00:13:48,500
\nready for this race and all
\nthat, you know, I don’t do this <\/p>\n
209
\n00:13:48,500 –> 00:13:51,400
\nvery good anymore but they’re
\nall getting ready to go and this<\/p>\n
210
\n00:13:51,400 –> 00:13:54,600
\nis the blocks are out there for
\nthem to put their feet in. <\/p>\n
211
\n00:13:54,600 –> 00:13:56,700
\nAnd the guys got the God, he’s
\ngoing to sounds a gun. <\/p>\n
212
\n00:13:56,800 –> 00:14:00,600
\nHe said on your mark, get set,
\ngo and take your position and <\/p>\n
213
\n00:14:00,600 –> 00:14:05,000
\nthey also stopped and he looks
\ndown the road. <\/p>\n
214
\n00:14:06,700 –> 00:14:11,000
\nNo hurdles.
\nThis is a high hurdle race and <\/p>\n
215
\n00:14:11,000 –> 00:14:14,100
\nsomebody forgot to put hurdles
\nin his Lane. <\/p>\n
216
\n00:14:14,500 –> 00:14:15,800
\nAnd the guy says on your mark,
\nget set. <\/p>\n
217
\n00:14:16,000 –> 00:14:18,400
\nAnd you don’t know if you take
\ngot no proof Jessica, what’s the<\/p>\n
218
\n00:14:18,400 –> 00:14:22,300
\nmatter?
\nThere’s no, I can’t win the gold<\/p>\n
219
\n00:14:22,300 –> 00:14:25,200
\nmedal for Australia if there’s
\nno hurdles to jump over. <\/p>\n
220
\n00:14:27,000 –> 00:14:33,300
\nI want her dolls.
\nTo jump over so I can win. <\/p>\n
221
\n00:14:35,100 –> 00:14:37,100
\nThat’s not too hard to
\nunderstand, is it? <\/p>\n
222
\n00:14:37,800 –> 00:14:42,800
\nCan you quit that to your life?
\nThat God is literally putting <\/p>\n
223
\n00:14:42,800 –> 00:14:49,100
\nhurdles in your lane in your
\nlife, so you can overcome Jesus <\/p>\n
224
\n00:14:49,100 –> 00:14:52,400
\nsaid he that overcometh.
\nYou can’t overcome if there’s no<\/p>\n
225
\n00:14:52,400 –> 00:14:58,300
\nhurdles So, the Hope Stadium
\nwaited. <\/p>\n
226
\n00:14:59,500 –> 00:15:03,100
\nWell, the groundskeepers setup
\nhurdles in the lane for the <\/p>\n
227
\n00:15:03,100 –> 00:15:06,500
\nAustralian Runner and then they
\nran the race. <\/p>\n
228
\n00:15:08,200 –> 00:15:11,900
\nAnd you.
\nAnd I Or in this race for life. <\/p>\n
229
\n00:15:11,900 –> 00:15:15,300
\nEternal.
\nAnd we got hurdles in front of <\/p>\n
230
\n00:15:15,300 –> 00:15:18,400
\nus every morning when you get
\nup. <\/p>\n
231
\n00:15:18,400 –> 00:15:23,900
\nThere’s hurdles for you to jump
\ninstead of saying oh woe is me. <\/p>\n
232
\n00:15:23,900 –> 00:15:29,700
\nOh look at all those hurdles.
\nJust say thank God for hurtles a<\/p>\n
233
\n00:15:29,700 –> 00:15:32,000
\nloving.
\nGod is preparing me for <\/p>\n
234
\n00:15:32,000 –> 00:15:34,200
\nsomething bigger and better than
\nthis life. <\/p>\n
235
\n00:15:34,500 –> 00:15:38,200
\nIn order for me to achieve it, I
\nhave to overcome and so every <\/p>\n
236
\n00:15:38,200 –> 00:15:43,400
\nhurdle is to jump.
\nAnd I can do it because I can do<\/p>\n
237
\n00:15:43,400 –> 00:15:46,700
\nall things through Christ, who
\nstrengthens me. <\/p>\n
238
\n00:15:48,300 –> 00:15:53,000
\nAgain, if you have your Bibles
\non your lap, Hebrews chapter, 12<\/p>\n
239
\n00:15:53,200 –> 00:15:58,200
\nverses thoroughly familiar, to
\nall of you and about the subject<\/p>\n
240
\n00:15:58,200 –> 00:16:02,100
\non which we’re now considering
\nchapter 12 of Hebrews coming in <\/p>\n
241
\n00:16:02,100 –> 00:16:05,500
\nat verse 6 for whom.
\nThe Lord loves he chastens. <\/p>\n
242
\n00:16:06,200 –> 00:16:08,800
\nYou want God to love you.
\nAnd you know what’s going to <\/p>\n
243
\n00:16:08,800 –> 00:16:10,500
\nhappen, you’re going to be
\nchasing. <\/p>\n
244
\n00:16:11,300 –> 00:16:14,700
\nIf you endure chastening God
\ndeals with you, as with sons for<\/p>\n
245
\n00:16:14,700 –> 00:16:17,000
\nwhat son is, there whom the
\nfather does not chase him. <\/p>\n
246
\n00:16:18,300 –> 00:16:21,900
\nBut if you are without chasing
\nof which all have become <\/p>\n
247
\n00:16:21,900 –> 00:16:24,100
\npartakers then you are
\nillegitimate and not sons. <\/p>\n
248
\n00:16:24,100 –> 00:16:28,100
\nAnd King James says bastards, as
\nyou know, furthermore we have <\/p>\n
249
\n00:16:28,100 –> 00:16:32,500
\nall had human fathers who
\ncorrected us and we paid them <\/p>\n
250
\n00:16:32,500 –> 00:16:36,700
\nrespect your thankful when your
\nfather loves you enough to <\/p>\n
251
\n00:16:36,900 –> 00:16:39,400
\ncorrect you and teach you the
\nright way. <\/p>\n
252
\n00:16:39,800 –> 00:16:43,200
\nYou have a heavenly father, that
\nloves you enough to correct. <\/p>\n
253
\n00:16:43,200 –> 00:16:46,400
\nYou and guide you in the way of
\nlife, shall we? <\/p>\n
254
\n00:16:46,400 –> 00:16:49,300
\nNot much more readily?
\nIn subjection to the father of <\/p>\n
255
\n00:16:49,300 –> 00:16:53,200
\nspirits and live for they indeed
\nfor a few days chastened us as <\/p>\n
256
\n00:16:53,200 –> 00:16:57,500
\nit seemed best to them, but he
\nfor our profit that we may be <\/p>\n
257
\n00:16:57,500 –> 00:17:01,900
\npartakers of his holiness.
\nNow, this next verse is, so <\/p>\n
258
\n00:17:01,900 –> 00:17:04,500
\nobvious.
\nAnd you already knew it. <\/p>\n
259
\n00:17:05,500 –> 00:17:09,400
\nNo.
\nChastening seems to be joyful <\/p>\n
260
\n00:17:10,000 –> 00:17:11,900
\nfor the present.
\nYou can save. <\/p>\n
261
\n00:17:11,900 –> 00:17:14,500
\nWow, this is sure fun.
\nHaving this trial. <\/p>\n
262
\n00:17:14,800 –> 00:17:17,599
\nThis problem hurdles are to
\njump. <\/p>\n
263
\n00:17:18,300 –> 00:17:21,800
\nYes, they are an obstacle to
\novercome. <\/p>\n
264
\n00:17:24,400 –> 00:17:28,300
\nBut strengthen your hands of
\nhang down and the feeble knees <\/p>\n
265
\n00:17:28,300 –> 00:17:31,500
\nand make straight paths for your
\nfeet, you can do it, brothers <\/p>\n
266
\n00:17:31,500 –> 00:17:34,500
\nand sisters and that’s the first
\nlesson we want to drive home is <\/p>\n
267
\n00:17:34,500 –> 00:17:36,900
\nthat you are going to have
\nhurdles in your life. <\/p>\n
268
\n00:17:36,900 –> 00:17:42,400
\nAnd I’m want to talk about how
\nyou face them because they make <\/p>\n
269
\n00:17:43,400 –> 00:17:47,400
\nor they break us.
\nSo what does Paul say, look, <\/p>\n
270
\n00:17:47,400 –> 00:17:51,400
\nI’ve come to Romans chapter 5
\nand Paul is going to tell us <\/p>\n
271
\n00:17:51,400 –> 00:17:54,000
\nabout suffering.
\nRomans chapter 5 and being at <\/p>\n
272
\n00:17:54,000 –> 00:17:57,300
\nverse 1.
\nThis is from the RSV, therefore <\/p>\n
273
\n00:17:57,300 –> 00:18:01,200
\nsince we are justified by faith,
\nwe have peace with God through <\/p>\n
274
\n00:18:01,200 –> 00:18:04,100
\nour Lord, Jesus Christ through
\nhim. <\/p>\n
275
\n00:18:04,100 –> 00:18:08,200
\nWe have obtain success to the
\ncrease in which we stand and we <\/p>\n
276
\n00:18:08,208 –> 00:18:12,600
\nrejoiced in our hope of sharing,
\nthe glory of God, more than <\/p>\n
277
\n00:18:12,600 –> 00:18:18,300
\nthat, this is Paul talking.
\nWe In our sufferings. <\/p>\n
278
\n00:18:18,600 –> 00:18:22,600
\nNow are you doing that?
\nAre you rejoicing in your <\/p>\n
279
\n00:18:22,600 –> 00:18:24,300
\nsuffering?
\nYou’ve got a problem. <\/p>\n
280
\n00:18:24,300 –> 00:18:27,000
\nI just met a very nice little
\nboy out in the parking lot. <\/p>\n
281
\n00:18:27,000 –> 00:18:29,900
\nHe was explained to me that he
\nhas some pins in his neck. <\/p>\n
282
\n00:18:30,300 –> 00:18:33,600
\nIt’s not easy to rejoice when
\nyou have pins in your neck. <\/p>\n
283
\n00:18:34,700 –> 00:18:39,800
\nBut if God has been put there by
\nthe medical doctors to help you <\/p>\n
284
\n00:18:40,400 –> 00:18:44,200
\nbe thankful that they’re there
\nand that they’re doing their <\/p>\n
285
\n00:18:44,200 –> 00:18:48,400
\njob.
\nSo Paul says, more than that we <\/p>\n
286
\n00:18:48,400 –> 00:18:52,600
\nrejoice in our sufferings
\nknowing that suffering, produces<\/p>\n
287
\n00:18:52,600 –> 00:18:55,200
\nendurance and endurance,
\nproduces character and character<\/p>\n
288
\n00:18:55,200 –> 00:18:59,800
\nproduces hope and hope does not
\ndisappoint us because God’s love<\/p>\n
289
\n00:18:59,800 –> 00:19:02,700
\nhas been poured out into our
\nhearts through the Holy Spirit <\/p>\n
290
\n00:19:02,800 –> 00:19:07,200
\nwhich is given to us.
\nHope helps us to cope. <\/p>\n
291
\n00:19:08,400 –> 00:19:11,700
\nHe’s saying there we rejoice in
\nour troubles. <\/p>\n
292
\n00:19:12,100 –> 00:19:15,800
\nNow, Paul had a problem, you are
\nknow about it. <\/p>\n
293
\n00:19:16,200 –> 00:19:17,700
\nHe called it a thorn in the
\nflesh. <\/p>\n
294
\n00:19:19,100 –> 00:19:20,800
\nI know a lot of people know what
\nit is. <\/p>\n
295
\n00:19:21,300 –> 00:19:23,900
\nPaul didn’t tell us what it was,
\nbut I’m glad you already know. <\/p>\n
296
\n00:19:24,400 –> 00:19:27,300
\nWe had lots of different answers
\nto that and I’m willing to <\/p>\n
297
\n00:19:27,300 –> 00:19:31,200
\nlisten to yours but point is we
\ndon’t need to know what it is. <\/p>\n
298
\n00:19:31,200 –> 00:19:36,300
\nWe just happen to know that
\nThorns stick and they don’t feel<\/p>\n
299
\n00:19:36,300 –> 00:19:39,000
\ngood.
\nAnd if you have a thorn in your <\/p>\n
300
\n00:19:39,000 –> 00:19:42,200
\nflesh, you don’t like it either.
\nAnd Paul didn’t like it. <\/p>\n
301
\n00:19:42,300 –> 00:19:44,700
\nAnd that’s only normal, not to
\nlike it. <\/p>\n
302
\n00:19:44,700 –> 00:19:48,200
\nSo what did he do?
\nHe took it to God in prayer and <\/p>\n
303
\n00:19:48,200 –> 00:19:52,000
\nhe prayed to Once twice three
\ntimes God, please take away. <\/p>\n
304
\n00:19:52,000 –> 00:19:55,400
\nThis problem is Thorn and it
\nhurts God. <\/p>\n
305
\n00:19:56,700 –> 00:20:03,400
\nAnd God said no to Paul, Paul’s
\ngoing to be in the Kingdom. <\/p>\n
306
\n00:20:03,900 –> 00:20:07,400
\nHe won’t have the thorn then he
\nhad it all his life. <\/p>\n
307
\n00:20:07,900 –> 00:20:10,700
\nListen, listen to this.
\nIn 2nd Corinthians chapter 12 <\/p>\n
308
\n00:20:10,700 –> 00:20:14,900
\nagain, you know all this but
\nthree times I besought the Lord <\/p>\n
309
\n00:20:14,900 –> 00:20:17,900
\nabout this.
\nThat it should lead me. <\/p>\n
310
\n00:20:18,700 –> 00:20:22,300
\nBut God said unto me, my grace
\nis sufficient for you. <\/p>\n
311
\n00:20:22,300 –> 00:20:25,400
\nFor my power is made, perfect in
\nweakness. <\/p>\n
312
\n00:20:25,900 –> 00:20:30,200
\nGod says, you’re going to have
\nto live with that problem. <\/p>\n
313
\n00:20:31,600 –> 00:20:36,800
\nWell, how would you react?
\nIf God tells you, you must live <\/p>\n
314
\n00:20:36,800 –> 00:20:44,000
\nwith the problems that you have.
\nand he said, I will the more <\/p>\n
315
\n00:20:44,000 –> 00:20:47,900
\ngladly boast of my weaknesses,
\nthat the power of Christ May <\/p>\n
316
\n00:20:47,900 –> 00:20:51,000
\nrest upon me for the sake of
\nChrist, which I am content with,<\/p>\n
317
\n00:20:51,200 –> 00:20:53,700
\nfor the sake of Christ.
\nI’m content with weaknesses in <\/p>\n
318
\n00:20:53,700 –> 00:20:58,200
\ninsults, hardships, persecution
\ncalamities, all these problems. <\/p>\n
319
\n00:20:58,200 –> 00:21:02,300
\nI’ve got thank God for hurdles.
\nThank you, God, for giving me <\/p>\n
320
\n00:21:02,300 –> 00:21:05,600
\nthese problems.
\nSo you have problems like Paul <\/p>\n
321
\n00:21:05,600 –> 00:21:10,700
\ndid How are you reacting?
\nThat’s our lesson. <\/p>\n
322
\n00:21:10,700 –> 00:21:12,600
\nWe want to learn from this first
\nclass. <\/p>\n
323
\n00:21:13,000 –> 00:21:17,300
\nHow are you going to react to
\nthe problems you already have <\/p>\n
324
\n00:21:17,600 –> 00:21:19,100
\nand some that you’re going to
\nget that? <\/p>\n
325
\n00:21:19,100 –> 00:21:21,900
\nYou haven’t even had yet.
\nI have people. <\/p>\n
326
\n00:21:21,900 –> 00:21:24,400
\nI just can’t take it anymore.
\nDo you know that your <\/p>\n
327
\n00:21:24,400 –> 00:21:26,700
\nsubconscious mind does not have
\na sense of humor? <\/p>\n
328
\n00:21:28,900 –> 00:21:31,900
\nWhen you talk to yourself and
\nyou tell yourself, I can’t take <\/p>\n
329
\n00:21:31,900 –> 00:21:35,700
\nthis anymore.
\nYour your body we’re <\/p>\n
330
\n00:21:35,700 –> 00:21:37,600
\noverreacting.
\nYou probably won’t be able to <\/p>\n
331
\n00:21:38,000 –> 00:21:39,400
\nsew My Season.
\nThese oh, I’m going to get a <\/p>\n
332
\n00:21:39,408 –> 00:21:41,500
\ncold, you order a Coke.
\nOkay, you get a call. <\/p>\n
333
\n00:21:42,400 –> 00:21:47,100
\nWhy do we program our sales to
\nfail instead of to succeed? <\/p>\n
334
\n00:21:47,500 –> 00:21:49,500
\nDon’t ever say negative things
\nto yourself. <\/p>\n
335
\n00:21:49,600 –> 00:21:52,200
\nNo I just can’t have it.
\nYou can’t handle it. <\/p>\n
336
\n00:21:52,200 –> 00:21:54,800
\nIf you didn’t couldn’t handle
\nGod wouldn’t let you have it in <\/p>\n
337
\n00:21:54,800 –> 00:21:58,000
\nthe first place so you see we
\ncan take lots more. <\/p>\n
338
\n00:21:58,200 –> 00:22:03,500
\nWe think we can take if we just
\ntrust in God to provide us the <\/p>\n
339
\n00:22:03,500 –> 00:22:08,400
\nstrength to get through what it
\nis, we have to go through and so<\/p>\n
340
\n00:22:08,400 –> 00:22:12,000
\nJames.
\nNow Paul has said that we gladly<\/p>\n
341
\n00:22:12,000 –> 00:22:15,800
\nboast and weaknesses James
\nchapter one is going to say <\/p>\n
342
\n00:22:15,800 –> 00:22:20,200
\nconsider it pure joy.
\nMy brothers when You Face Trials<\/p>\n
343
\n00:22:20,200 –> 00:22:22,600
\nof many kinds you got to really
\nbeing tracked. <\/p>\n
344
\n00:22:22,600 –> 00:22:25,300
\nOh boy.
\nAre you your full Joy, right? <\/p>\n
345
\n00:22:25,500 –> 00:22:28,300
\nNo.
\nWell, James is Is. <\/p>\n
346
\n00:22:28,300 –> 00:22:33,300
\nYes, when you have problems, we
\nare to thank God for our <\/p>\n
347
\n00:22:33,300 –> 00:22:39,000
\ntroubles because, you know, this
\nis not a maybe thing because, <\/p>\n
348
\n00:22:39,000 –> 00:22:40,900
\nyou know, that the testing of
\nyour faith, develops, <\/p>\n
349
\n00:22:40,900 –> 00:22:44,300
\nperseverance, perseverance, must
\nfinish its work. <\/p>\n
350
\n00:22:44,400 –> 00:22:49,500
\nSo that you may be mature and
\ncomplete not lacking anything. <\/p>\n
351
\n00:22:50,500 –> 00:22:54,000
\nSo James is in complete
\nagreement with Paul. <\/p>\n
352
\n00:22:54,700 –> 00:22:58,000
\nHow do you react when you have
\nproblems rejoice in our <\/p>\n
353
\n00:22:58,000 –> 00:23:02,000
\nsufferings, knowing that
\nsuffering produces endurance. <\/p>\n
354
\n00:23:02,800 –> 00:23:05,600
\nNow, this is not normal in the
\nworld. <\/p>\n
355
\n00:23:05,600 –> 00:23:08,400
\nIt’s totally unknown, you’re not
\nin the world. <\/p>\n
356
\n00:23:08,400 –> 00:23:10,600
\nYou come out from the world.
\nWe have to be different from <\/p>\n
357
\n00:23:10,600 –> 00:23:16,600
\neverybody else and we do have
\nproblems but you see God because<\/p>\n
358
\n00:23:16,600 –> 00:23:21,000
\nhe loves you.
\nIt’s going to make sure that you<\/p>\n
359
\n00:23:21,400 –> 00:23:24,700
\nnever have a problem that you
\ncan’t handle. <\/p>\n
360
\n00:23:25,700 –> 00:23:29,600
\nIf you couldn’t have handled it
\nGod wouldn’t have let you have <\/p>\n
361
\n00:23:29,600 –> 00:23:32,400
\nit.
\nAnd so sometimes when I’ve had a<\/p>\n
362
\n00:23:32,400 –> 00:23:36,700
\nreally big problem, I said God
\nyou think I’m up to this one but<\/p>\n
363
\n00:23:36,700 –> 00:23:39,400
\nsince I’ve got the problem, the
\nanswer is yes, I am or he <\/p>\n
364
\n00:23:39,400 –> 00:23:42,600
\nwouldn’t let me have it.
\nAnd so now this is I 1 I really <\/p>\n
365
\n00:23:42,600 –> 00:23:46,000
\nwant you to look up Luke chapter
\n6 and this is G because we’re <\/p>\n
366
\n00:23:46,000 –> 00:23:48,500
\ndid Paul get the answer to
\nrejoice in trouble. <\/p>\n
367
\n00:23:48,500 –> 00:23:50,400
\nWhere did James get the answer
\nto Rejoice the gym? <\/p>\n
368
\n00:23:50,500 –> 00:23:52,900
\nThey learned it from Jesus
\nChrist. <\/p>\n
369
\n00:23:54,100 –> 00:23:57,200
\nAnd so Jesus is going to answer
\nthis once and for all, how do we<\/p>\n
370
\n00:23:57,200 –> 00:24:03,000
\nhandle our troubles on the way
\nof life, and Luke chapter 6, and<\/p>\n
371
\n00:24:03,000 –> 00:24:07,200
\ncoming in, at verse 20, looking
\nat his disciples, and this is <\/p>\n
372
\n00:24:07,200 –> 00:24:11,900
\nwhat Jesus he looks, right at
\nyou and he said, blessed are you<\/p>\n
373
\n00:24:11,900 –> 00:24:15,700
\nwho are poor for yours is the
\nkingdom of God. <\/p>\n
374
\n00:24:16,800 –> 00:24:18,700
\nWe’d love to go to weddings
\nchristadelphians, go to <\/p>\n
375
\n00:24:18,700 –> 00:24:21,000
\nweddings, that’s one place you
\ncan get people out. <\/p>\n
376
\n00:24:21,000 –> 00:24:23,100
\nThey don’t come to some other
\nthings that come to a wedding, <\/p>\n
377
\n00:24:23,600 –> 00:24:27,200
\nso big wedding in your area and
\nall the little children were in <\/p>\n
378
\n00:24:27,200 –> 00:24:29,200
\nthe audience.
\nAnd after they got home, they <\/p>\n
379
\n00:24:29,200 –> 00:24:33,100
\ndecided to play play wedding.
\nSo one little boy, he was going <\/p>\n
380
\n00:24:33,100 –> 00:24:36,500
\nto be the preacher and a little
\ngirl, was playing the jolt role <\/p>\n
381
\n00:24:36,500 –> 00:24:37,800
\nof the bride.
\nAnd the little boy was <\/p>\n
382
\n00:24:37,800 –> 00:24:41,400
\npretending, he was the groom and
\nthe little fellow who was doing <\/p>\n
383
\n00:24:41,400 –> 00:24:43,300
\nthe Mary.
\nHe said to the little girl, do <\/p>\n
384
\n00:24:43,300 –> 00:24:45,300
\nyou take this man for a richer
\nor for poorer? <\/p>\n
385
\n00:24:45,300 –> 00:24:52,500
\nHe said she said for richer.
\nShe thought she had a choice. <\/p>\n
386
\n00:24:53,100 –> 00:24:56,000
\nShe didn’t understand what the
\nwhole thing was, but, but you <\/p>\n
387
\n00:24:56,008 –> 00:24:57,800
\nsee, that’s what we normally do.
\nWe do? <\/p>\n
388
\n00:24:57,800 –> 00:25:00,300
\nWe choose Rich, we see who the
\nhealthier now. <\/p>\n
389
\n00:25:00,300 –> 00:25:02,500
\nListen to what Jesus says,
\nblessed. <\/p>\n
390
\n00:25:03,600 –> 00:25:10,700
\nAre you who are poor?
\nFor yours is the kingdom of God.<\/p>\n
391
\n00:25:10,800 –> 00:25:14,000
\nBlessed are you who hunger now?
\nFor you shall be satisfied. <\/p>\n
392
\n00:25:14,000 –> 00:25:15,300
\nBlessed.
\nAre you who weep now for? <\/p>\n
393
\n00:25:15,300 –> 00:25:17,900
\nYou shall blessed.
\nAre you when men shall hate you <\/p>\n
394
\n00:25:18,100 –> 00:25:21,300
\nand when they exclude you
\ninsult, you and reject your name<\/p>\n
395
\n00:25:21,300 –> 00:25:23,700
\nas evil because of the Son of
\nGod. <\/p>\n
396
\n00:25:24,100 –> 00:25:26,200
\nBut I don’t want people to not
\nlike me. <\/p>\n
397
\n00:25:26,200 –> 00:25:28,400
\nI don’t, I don’t want people to
\nreject me. <\/p>\n
398
\n00:25:28,400 –> 00:25:31,000
\nSee, peer pressure.
\nYou have to stand up for the <\/p>\n
399
\n00:25:31,000 –> 00:25:33,800
\ntruth against your peers and if
\nthey’re all going the wrong way,<\/p>\n
400
\n00:25:33,800 –> 00:25:35,600
\nyou don’t go that way.
\nJust because everybody else is <\/p>\n
401
\n00:25:35,600 –> 00:25:38,000
\ngoing, though, anything that
\neverybody else is doing is <\/p>\n
402
\n00:25:38,000 –> 00:25:40,800
\nprobably right?
\nSo if ever you come to your <\/p>\n
403
\n00:25:40,800 –> 00:25:44,400
\nparents as everybody’s going, if
\nI was your father, I’d say one <\/p>\n
404
\n00:25:44,400 –> 00:25:48,100
\nthat’s why you’re not anything.
\nThey’re all doing is probably <\/p>\n
405
\n00:25:48,100 –> 00:25:52,000
\nnot a good thing to do so and
\nwhen you do that, they are going<\/p>\n
406
\n00:25:52,000 –> 00:25:55,200
\nto exclude, you and insult, you
\nand reject you. <\/p>\n
407
\n00:25:55,700 –> 00:26:00,400
\nAnd now we’re coming to the key
\nverse verse 23 rejoice in that <\/p>\n
408
\n00:26:00,400 –> 00:26:07,800
\nday.
\nAnd Jesus said you That was a <\/p>\n
409
\n00:26:07,800 –> 00:26:13,300
\ndumb thing to do, one.
\nI just jumped, I don’t jump as <\/p>\n
410
\n00:26:13,300 –> 00:26:17,900
\nhigh as I used to.
\nBut he didn’t really mean that. <\/p>\n
411
\n00:26:17,900 –> 00:26:21,400
\nYou think you think Jesus really
\nmet? <\/p>\n
412
\n00:26:22,300 –> 00:26:25,900
\nLet’s read it again.
\nVerse 23, rejoice in that day, <\/p>\n
413
\n00:26:25,900 –> 00:26:31,500
\nand leap for joy.
\nI don’t think Jesus ever said, <\/p>\n
414
\n00:26:31,500 –> 00:26:36,500
\nsilly talk.
\nI Think Jesus meant that when <\/p>\n
415
\n00:26:36,500 –> 00:26:40,500
\nyou have a problem, you should
\nleap for Joy. <\/p>\n
416
\n00:26:41,200 –> 00:26:45,400
\nNow, you look at this room, you
\nlook at the people in this room <\/p>\n
417
\n00:26:46,000 –> 00:26:48,000
\nand you look at the problems
\nthat all of you are facing, this<\/p>\n
418
\n00:26:48,000 –> 00:26:53,400
\nought to be a jumping place.
\nBecause we’ve all got problems. <\/p>\n
419
\n00:26:54,100 –> 00:26:56,900
\nNow, I have taken this verse
\nabsolutely literal. <\/p>\n
420
\n00:26:58,100 –> 00:27:01,700
\nBecause Jesus said to now, I
\nknow I don’t bleep, like, I used<\/p>\n
421
\n00:27:01,700 –> 00:27:05,000
\nto leave and if your bed fast,
\nyou may not even be argued, but <\/p>\n
422
\n00:27:05,000 –> 00:27:09,700
\nyou go You could you could
\nmentally leap even though you <\/p>\n
423
\n00:27:09,700 –> 00:27:13,700
\ncan’t get out of bed.
\nAnd I have to tell you a story. <\/p>\n
424
\n00:27:13,700 –> 00:27:18,300
\nWe have a Bible class in our
\nhome on Tuesday nights, and a <\/p>\n
425
\n00:27:18,300 –> 00:27:21,300
\nbrother comes to this class who
\nis in the television business, <\/p>\n
426
\n00:27:21,300 –> 00:27:26,200
\nhe’s a producer for newscast
\nChannel 7, and he has to be on <\/p>\n
427
\n00:27:26,200 –> 00:27:28,700
\nduty at five in the morning.
\nSo he has to leave the house <\/p>\n
428
\n00:27:29,100 –> 00:27:32,300
\nabout four.
\nSo, so, he soon as the class is <\/p>\n
429
\n00:27:32,300 –> 00:27:34,200
\nover, he’s got to get out of
\nthere because he’s got to get up<\/p>\n
430
\n00:27:34,200 –> 00:27:39,600
\nreal early and we talked about
\nJesus telling us to leap for <\/p>\n
431
\n00:27:39,600 –> 00:27:42,400
\njoy.
\nAnd soon as the class was over, <\/p>\n
432
\n00:27:42,400 –> 00:27:46,000
\nwe close with prayer.
\nAnd we my wife always has a <\/p>\n
433
\n00:27:46,000 –> 00:27:49,000
\nrefreshments and everybody sits
\naround and we have a nice time <\/p>\n
434
\n00:27:49,000 –> 00:27:51,900
\ntogether but he said thanks
\nfolks. <\/p>\n
435
\n00:27:52,000 –> 00:27:53,100
\nHe’s on.
\nHe’s gone. <\/p>\n
436
\n00:27:53,700 –> 00:27:59,500
\nSo later on this sister, his
\nwife was talking to my wife on <\/p>\n
437
\n00:27:59,508 –> 00:28:03,400
\nthe phone and she said, you
\nknow, after we left your class <\/p>\n
438
\n00:28:04,100 –> 00:28:08,400
\nFred was jumping all the way
\ndown your driveway, he was <\/p>\n
439
\n00:28:08,400 –> 00:28:15,500
\nleaping for joy as he left the
\nclass because Jesus said to <\/p>\n
440
\n00:28:16,500 –> 00:28:18,300
\nThere’s actually something
\ntherapeutic him. <\/p>\n
441
\n00:28:18,300 –> 00:28:21,800
\nI gave this an in England at a
\nplace called Wessex Camp. <\/p>\n
442
\n00:28:21,800 –> 00:28:25,000
\nWessex is a was a farm.
\nThey rent a farm in the farmer. <\/p>\n
443
\n00:28:25,000 –> 00:28:28,100
\nRinse them, A Great Big Field
\nand they bring in a big tent <\/p>\n
444
\n00:28:28,100 –> 00:28:32,100
\ncalled they call him.
\nNow, Marquis there were 750, <\/p>\n
445
\n00:28:32,100 –> 00:28:36,900
\npeople broke bread in a tent
\nthat weekend and everybody <\/p>\n
446
\n00:28:36,900 –> 00:28:40,200
\nbrings their Caravans and their
\ntents and everybody camps. <\/p>\n
447
\n00:28:41,100 –> 00:28:45,800
\nAnd on the Saturday I mentioned
\nthis to leap for joy in the <\/p>\n
448
\n00:28:45,800 –> 00:28:48,600
\nmorning.
\nRussian and then we all broke, <\/p>\n
449
\n00:28:48,600 –> 00:28:51,800
\neverybody went back to their
\nCaravans and tents for lunch and<\/p>\n
450
\n00:28:51,800 –> 00:28:54,800
\nwe came back for the afternoon
\nsession and the sister came up <\/p>\n
451
\n00:28:54,800 –> 00:28:57,800
\nto me and says, hello, Bob my
\nhead’s killing me. <\/p>\n
452
\n00:28:58,200 –> 00:29:00,300
\nI said what happened?
\nShe’s well, I went into my <\/p>\n
453
\n00:29:00,300 –> 00:29:04,700
\nCaravan and I left for joy and I
\nhit the door here. <\/p>\n
454
\n00:29:05,400 –> 00:29:11,500
\nSo when you do it, make sure you
\nhave clearance but there was a <\/p>\n
455
\n00:29:11,500 –> 00:29:17,000
\nmedical doctor in the audience.
\nAnd I saw him later on that same<\/p>\n
456
\n00:29:17,000 –> 00:29:19,900
\nweek and he says, you know, I
\nwent home and I did some <\/p>\n
457
\n00:29:19,900 –> 00:29:24,900
\nresearch, medically about what
\nyou said, was a me. <\/p>\n
458
\n00:29:24,900 –> 00:29:29,500
\nIt was Jesus said it, he says
\nthat it actually has therapeutic<\/p>\n
459
\n00:29:29,500 –> 00:29:33,600
\nvalue.
\nNow you see, we read that. <\/p>\n
460
\n00:29:33,600 –> 00:29:35,900
\nHow many times have you read
\nleap for joy. <\/p>\n
461
\n00:29:36,500 –> 00:29:38,400
\nAnd how many times have you
\nactually done it? <\/p>\n
462
\n00:29:40,000 –> 00:29:43,200
\nYou see, Jesus meant what he
\nsaid. <\/p>\n
463
\n00:29:43,600 –> 00:29:46,900
\nAnd when you have a problem, the
\nfather, doing the hurdles of <\/p>\n
464
\n00:29:46,900 –> 00:29:48,300
\ngotta leap, he’s got to hit the
\nhurdle. <\/p>\n
465
\n00:29:48,300 –> 00:29:53,700
\nIf he doesn’t jump, So, when you
\nhave problems, listen to Paul, <\/p>\n
466
\n00:29:53,700 –> 00:29:56,400
\nlisten to Peter, listen to
\nJames. <\/p>\n
467
\n00:29:56,400 –> 00:30:00,400
\nListen to Jesus, who say, this
\nis how you handle problems. <\/p>\n
468
\n00:30:00,800 –> 00:30:04,900
\nYou thank God for your hurdles.
\nYou leap for Joy, you recognize <\/p>\n
469
\n00:30:04,900 –> 00:30:07,300
\nthat God loves you, or you
\nwouldn’t have this problem. <\/p>\n
470
\n00:30:08,300 –> 00:30:11,200
\nAnd so therefore he’s helping
\nyou to overcome it. <\/p>\n
471
\n00:30:16,600 –> 00:30:20,300
\nOui.
\nFind as we get older. <\/p>\n
472
\n00:30:20,300 –> 00:30:25,200
\nWe can’t move as quickly as we
\nused to, but it’s, it doesn’t <\/p>\n
473
\n00:30:25,200 –> 00:30:27,500
\nneed to be a physical leap at
\nall. <\/p>\n
474
\n00:30:28,400 –> 00:30:34,300
\nSimply needs to be a mental one.
\nAnd so, even when you are down <\/p>\n
475
\n00:30:34,300 –> 00:30:37,500
\nin bed, you still can leap for
\njoy. <\/p>\n
476
\n00:30:39,500 –> 00:30:43,400
\nJacob.
\nHad to limp. <\/p>\n
477
\n00:30:44,600 –> 00:30:48,400
\nFor the rest of his life.
\nBecause you wrestled with an <\/p>\n
478
\n00:30:48,400 –> 00:30:51,500
\nAngel.
\nThat was a good limp. <\/p>\n
479
\n00:30:52,700 –> 00:30:58,200
\nHe didn’t complain.
\nHe was one of God’s chosen it <\/p>\n
480
\n00:30:58,200 –> 00:31:05,000
\nGod left him a limp to remind
\nhim of what had happened and so <\/p>\n
481
\n00:31:05,000 –> 00:31:08,000
\nwhen you have problems God,
\nsometimes leaves you with <\/p>\n
482
\n00:31:08,000 –> 00:31:12,900
\nreminders of them are hearing,
\nmay go, our teeth may fall out, <\/p>\n
483
\n00:31:13,300 –> 00:31:17,300
\nwe met met me.
\nMake me may be able to walk that<\/p>\n
484
\n00:31:17,300 –> 00:31:20,000
\nto use crutches, or maybe in a
\nwheelchair, maybe can’t get out <\/p>\n
485
\n00:31:20,008 –> 00:31:24,600
\nof bed, but just recognize the
\nfact. <\/p>\n
486
\n00:31:26,500 –> 00:31:32,900
\nThat our problems are sent to us
\nby a loving father who’s <\/p>\n
487
\n00:31:32,900 –> 00:31:35,700
\npreparing us for bigger and
\nbetter things. <\/p>\n
488
\n00:31:36,500 –> 00:31:40,900
\nAnd so when Paul was called on
\nthe way to Damascus and asked <\/p>\n
489
\n00:31:40,900 –> 00:31:44,700
\nwas to told told him that he
\nmust learn those things, which <\/p>\n
490
\n00:31:44,700 –> 00:31:50,900
\nhe must suffer for my sake, said
\nGod to ananias about Paul. and <\/p>\n
491
\n00:31:50,900 –> 00:31:57,500
\nthen, you think about Jesus, Our
\nSavior, our Lord We’re told that<\/p>\n
492
\n00:31:57,500 –> 00:32:03,300
\nhe had learned obedience.
\nBy the things that he suffered. <\/p>\n
493
\n00:32:04,500 –> 00:32:08,700
\nHe was the son of God, he never
\nsinned. <\/p>\n
494
\n00:32:09,200 –> 00:32:13,300
\nWe sometimes suffer because of a
\nsin we have committed and sins, <\/p>\n
495
\n00:32:13,300 –> 00:32:17,500
\ndo bring consequences.
\nBut not all your problems are <\/p>\n
496
\n00:32:17,500 –> 00:32:21,000
\ncaused by your sins.
\nSome of them are caused by God, <\/p>\n
497
\n00:32:22,000 –> 00:32:25,800
\nhelping you to want to be in the
\nKingdom, more than anything else<\/p>\n
498
\n00:32:25,800 –> 00:32:28,900
\nin all the world.
\nAnd so that dear sister, who <\/p>\n
499
\n00:32:28,900 –> 00:32:35,000
\nfell asleep in the Lord, after
\nbeing in the way for 60 years, <\/p>\n
500
\n00:32:36,100 –> 00:32:42,200
\nShe had 60 years of overcoming
\ntroubles, because everyone who <\/p>\n
501
\n00:32:42,200 –> 00:32:45,800
\nis a Christian delphian is going
\nto have problems. <\/p>\n
502
\n00:32:47,900 –> 00:32:53,900
\nPromised by God, promised by
\nJesus, cheer up the world, you <\/p>\n
503
\n00:32:53,900 –> 00:32:58,400
\nwill have troubles but be of
\ngood cheer because I have <\/p>\n
504
\n00:32:58,400 –> 00:33:03,700
\novercome the world.
\nSo, I want you to realize how <\/p>\n
505
\n00:33:03,700 –> 00:33:07,900
\nspecial you are.
\nYou have come here because <\/p>\n
506
\n00:33:08,000 –> 00:33:11,900
\nyou’ve been called there’s
\nmillions of people in Sydney <\/p>\n
507
\n00:33:11,900 –> 00:33:13,800
\nthis room couldn’t hold
\neverybody want to come here for <\/p>\n
508
\n00:33:13,800 –> 00:33:15,600
\nyour girl.
\nIf all the people realize that <\/p>\n
509
\n00:33:15,600 –> 00:33:17,900
\nwe have the answer to all their
\nproblems but they don’t believe <\/p>\n
510
\n00:33:17,900 –> 00:33:21,100
\nthat and they wouldn’t listen.
\nIf they came, you have been <\/p>\n
511
\n00:33:21,100 –> 00:33:24,800
\ncalled by God.
\nJesus said no man can come to me<\/p>\n
512
\n00:33:24,800 –> 00:33:26,400
\nexcept the Father, which hath
\nsent me dry. <\/p>\n
513
\n00:33:26,500 –> 00:33:31,900
\nSo your hand picked out of the
\nmillions of people know billions<\/p>\n
514
\n00:33:31,900 –> 00:33:37,000
\nof people on this Earth, how few
\nof us really know the true <\/p>\n
515
\n00:33:37,000 –> 00:33:39,300
\ngospel message.
\nWe know the planet preference <\/p>\n
516
\n00:33:39,300 –> 00:33:41,300
\nwith God.
\nWe know what’s going to happen. <\/p>\n
517
\n00:33:41,300 –> 00:33:46,300
\nWe’re looking for Jesus.
\nWe are so blessed. <\/p>\n
518
\n00:33:47,600 –> 00:33:49,700
\nAnd sometimes we take it for
\ngranted. <\/p>\n
519
\n00:33:50,100 –> 00:33:52,300
\nYes, I’m a Christian delphian.
\nI’ve been a Christian for more <\/p>\n
520
\n00:33:52,300 –> 00:33:57,200
\nthan 6. 66 years.
\nLast July I was baptized So I’ve<\/p>\n
521
\n00:33:57,200 –> 00:34:05,200
\nbeen in the whale, some people
\nthink I’m in the way. but, <\/p>\n
522
\n00:34:06,600 –> 00:34:12,800
\nBecause I gave my life to God.
\nHe is, directing my paths in the<\/p>\n
523
\n00:34:12,800 –> 00:34:16,400
\nway of life to the kingdom.
\nAnd I believe that with all my <\/p>\n
524
\n00:34:16,400 –> 00:34:21,000
\nheart, and when I Stray, From
\nthe way, he’s gently brings me <\/p>\n
525
\n00:34:21,000 –> 00:34:23,400
\nback.
\nHe’s guiding your feet. <\/p>\n
526
\n00:34:23,400 –> 00:34:27,800
\nYou don’t God, will guide your
\nfeet, but you have to get up and<\/p>\n
527
\n00:34:27,800 –> 00:34:32,199
\nshuffle them yourself.
\nYou say oh yes I want God to <\/p>\n
528
\n00:34:32,207 –> 00:34:34,900
\nguide me but I’m just sitting
\nback and taking it easy. <\/p>\n
529
\n00:34:35,699 –> 00:34:40,600
\nGod can’t guide you if you don’t
\ntry to get moving, but once <\/p>\n
530
\n00:34:40,600 –> 00:34:44,300
\nyou’re going, God can guide your
\nfeet and the way of life. <\/p>\n
531
\n00:34:44,300 –> 00:34:50,000
\nSo, Jesus says, you can’t even
\ncome to me, unless my father has<\/p>\n
532
\n00:34:50,000 –> 00:34:54,800
\ndrawn you So those of you who
\nare in this room, not baptized <\/p>\n
533
\n00:34:54,800 –> 00:34:58,800
\nyou’re being called you just
\nhaven’t said yes yet some of you<\/p>\n
534
\n00:34:58,800 –> 00:35:01,800
\nit’s because you’re too young
\nfor others. <\/p>\n
535
\n00:35:01,800 –> 00:35:04,900
\nThere’s other reasons we don’t
\nknow what they are but they’ve <\/p>\n
536
\n00:35:04,900 –> 00:35:08,200
\nallowed me to have a special
\nclass not tomorrow but a week <\/p>\n
537
\n00:35:08,200 –> 00:35:10,600
\nfrom tomorrow for everybody
\nthat’s not baptized. <\/p>\n
538
\n00:35:10,600 –> 00:35:15,300
\nIf you’re baptized you can’t
\ncome Because everybody in the <\/p>\n
539
\n00:35:15,300 –> 00:35:19,400
\nwhole world that’s not baptized
\nis not baptized for a reason and<\/p>\n
540
\n00:35:19,400 –> 00:35:22,900
\nif you’re not baptized, there’s
\na reason and we want to find out<\/p>\n
541
\n00:35:22,900 –> 00:35:26,300
\nwhat it is see if we can help.
\nSo if you’re not baptized, <\/p>\n
542
\n00:35:26,300 –> 00:35:29,300
\nplease try to reserve that time
\na week from tomorrow in the <\/p>\n
543
\n00:35:29,308 –> 00:35:34,600
\nevening for that special class.
\nBut the fact is you’ve been <\/p>\n
544
\n00:35:34,600 –> 00:35:36,100
\ncalling you won’t even come
\ntoday. <\/p>\n
545
\n00:35:37,200 –> 00:35:40,100
\nEven if you just came to light
\nday with with a neighbor, who’s <\/p>\n
546
\n00:35:40,100 –> 00:35:41,900
\na Christian Alfea?
\nYou’re hearing something, maybe <\/p>\n
547
\n00:35:41,900 –> 00:35:45,100
\nyou haven’t heard before.
\nMost of us, this is old stuff, <\/p>\n
548
\n00:35:45,100 –> 00:35:49,100
\nyour hearing.
\nBut the point is, we are being <\/p>\n
549
\n00:35:49,100 –> 00:35:53,200
\ncalled by God.
\nAnd it’s up to us. <\/p>\n
550
\n00:35:54,300 –> 00:36:00,500
\nTo say yes we may have to limp
\nthrough life as a result of our <\/p>\n
551
\n00:36:00,800 –> 00:36:05,100
\nencounter with an angel, but you
\nsee that’s all right. <\/p>\n
552
\n00:36:05,200 –> 00:36:07,600
\nGod didn’t promise us a Bed of
\nRoses. <\/p>\n
553
\n00:36:08,100 –> 00:36:12,200
\nHe Jesus said you will have
\ntroubles but be of good cheer. <\/p>\n
554
\n00:36:12,200 –> 00:36:18,800
\nI have overcome the world.
\nSo God said to Jeremiah back in,<\/p>\n
555
\n00:36:18,800 –> 00:36:22,500
\nJeremiah chapter 1, just as
\nJeremiah book begins. <\/p>\n
556
\n00:36:22,900 –> 00:36:29,900
\nGod says to him before I formed
\nthee in the belly, I knew thee. <\/p>\n
557
\n00:36:32,400 –> 00:36:35,000
\nBefore thou camest forth out of
\nthe womb. <\/p>\n
558
\n00:36:35,700 –> 00:36:41,800
\nI Sanctified thee and I ordained
\nthee a prophet unto the Nations.<\/p>\n
559
\n00:36:42,900 –> 00:36:45,200
\nSo what’s that got to do with
\nus? <\/p>\n
560
\n00:36:46,000 –> 00:36:50,800
\nWell, God is telling Jeremiah
\nthat before he was even <\/p>\n
561
\n00:36:50,900 –> 00:36:54,100
\nconceived, God knew all about
\nhim. <\/p>\n
562
\n00:36:55,400 –> 00:36:59,200
\nAnd you know that’s true of you.
\nIf you’ve been called, God knew <\/p>\n
563
\n00:36:59,200 –> 00:37:02,500
\nyou were going to be born.
\nWhen you were born before your <\/p>\n
564
\n00:37:02,500 –> 00:37:08,100
\nparents, even met each other.
\nYou were in God’s plan to be in <\/p>\n
565
\n00:37:08,100 –> 00:37:12,400
\nthe Kingdom because he’s calling
\nyou and he wants you in the <\/p>\n
566
\n00:37:12,400 –> 00:37:15,900
\nKingdom.
\nAnd we have to respond by <\/p>\n
567
\n00:37:15,900 –> 00:37:20,200
\nsaying, yes, thank you Father,
\nwe want to be there. <\/p>\n
568
\n00:37:21,700 –> 00:37:25,700
\nWe’re called to walk in the way
\nof life, and we have to know <\/p>\n
569
\n00:37:25,700 –> 00:37:28,100
\nwhat that way is.
\nAnd then we have to get up <\/p>\n
570
\n00:37:28,100 –> 00:37:34,900
\nmoving, and go that way.
\nNow, Jesus warned us that the <\/p>\n
571
\n00:37:34,900 –> 00:37:39,000
\nway would not be easy in.
\nMatthew 7 is enter by the narrow<\/p>\n
572
\n00:37:39,000 –> 00:37:42,400
\ngate for the gate is wide and
\nthe way is easy that leads to <\/p>\n
573
\n00:37:42,400 –> 00:37:45,200
\ndestruction.
\nThose that enter in by it are <\/p>\n
574
\n00:37:45,200 –> 00:37:48,900
\nmany, you have very good roads
\nhere in Australia. <\/p>\n
575
\n00:37:48,900 –> 00:37:52,300
\nI’m amazed you’ve wronged drive
\non the left side of the But you <\/p>\n
576
\n00:37:52,300 –> 00:37:57,900
\nhave very good roads to go on.
\nAnd they’re busy traffic <\/p>\n
577
\n00:37:57,900 –> 00:38:01,600
\neverywhere.
\nBut when you choose to go in the<\/p>\n
578
\n00:38:01,600 –> 00:38:06,700
\nway of life, you’re going to
\nturn off the big motorways, <\/p>\n
579
\n00:38:07,300 –> 00:38:10,600
\ngoing to take an off-ramp from
\nthe road, where everybody else <\/p>\n
580
\n00:38:10,600 –> 00:38:13,200
\nis going.
\nAnd you’re going to take that <\/p>\n
581
\n00:38:13,200 –> 00:38:19,500
\nlong narrow winding up hill road
\nto the kingdom. <\/p>\n
582
\n00:38:20,600 –> 00:38:26,500
\nFor the gate is narrow.
\nAnd the way is hard that leads <\/p>\n
583
\n00:38:26,500 –> 00:38:29,600
\nto life and those who find it
\nare. <\/p>\n
584
\n00:38:29,600 –> 00:38:33,100
\nFew few that be the finances of
\nKing James. <\/p>\n
585
\n00:38:34,300 –> 00:38:39,400
\nSo this these talks are about
\nthe way of life, and we want you<\/p>\n
586
\n00:38:39,400 –> 00:38:44,900
\nthis weekend to totally
\nrededicate yourself, that you <\/p>\n
587
\n00:38:44,900 –> 00:38:49,000
\nare in the way and you’re going
\nto keep moving in the way you <\/p>\n
588
\n00:38:49,000 –> 00:38:52,900
\nmay have to take baby steps, but
\ndon’t sit down. <\/p>\n
589
\n00:38:53,700 –> 00:38:57,200
\nStay on your feet and keep
\nmoving toward the kingdom. <\/p>\n
590
\n00:38:58,300 –> 00:39:00,500
\nIt’s not an easy Road, God
\ndidn’t promise, it would be <\/p>\n
591
\n00:39:00,500 –> 00:39:03,200
\neasy, he just promised that he
\nwould help you. <\/p>\n
592
\n00:39:03,600 –> 00:39:08,200
\nIf you Try.
\nBut some people won’t try. <\/p>\n
593
\n00:39:09,600 –> 00:39:12,500
\nGet imagine going back to that
\nexample of the Olympics. <\/p>\n
594
\n00:39:13,800 –> 00:39:18,700
\nAnd the morning of the big race,
\nour star hurdler, went to the <\/p>\n
595
\n00:39:18,800 –> 00:39:22,700
\ncoaches as coach.
\nI don’t feel good today, you <\/p>\n
596
\n00:39:22,700 –> 00:39:24,600
\nknow, there are days when we
\ndon’t feel good. <\/p>\n
597
\n00:39:24,800 –> 00:39:28,300
\nIt’s true of all of us.
\nI don’t think I want to try to <\/p>\n
598
\n00:39:28,300 –> 00:39:32,600
\nride.
\nHe spent a lifetime getting <\/p>\n
599
\n00:39:32,600 –> 00:39:36,600
\nready to compete for Australia
\nin the Olympics and you don’t <\/p>\n
600
\n00:39:36,600 –> 00:39:38,600
\nfeel good and you’re not going
\nto try. <\/p>\n
601
\n00:39:39,000 –> 00:39:41,100
\nThat would drive the coach
\ncrazy. <\/p>\n
602
\n00:39:42,500 –> 00:39:44,400
\nYou get in there and do the best
\nyou can? <\/p>\n
603
\n00:39:44,400 –> 00:39:49,900
\nWell, I don’t feel good coach.
\nWe don’t always feel good, we <\/p>\n
604
\n00:39:49,900 –> 00:39:53,700
\ndon’t always have energy.
\nWe don’t always know exactly <\/p>\n
605
\n00:39:53,700 –> 00:39:56,600
\nwhat to do.
\nSo we ask God to help us, he <\/p>\n
606
\n00:39:56,600 –> 00:40:02,100
\nwill guide your steps, trust in
\nthe Lord, with all my might, and<\/p>\n
607
\n00:40:02,100 –> 00:40:05,800
\nlean not unto thine own
\nunderstanding, and all your ways<\/p>\n
608
\n00:40:05,800 –> 00:40:10,000
\nacknowledge Him as God, and he
\nwill direct your paths. <\/p>\n
609
\n00:40:11,000 –> 00:40:13,500
\nBut he won’t direct them if you
\nwon’t try. <\/p>\n
610
\n00:40:14,800 –> 00:40:20,400
\nAnd so we who are baptized have
\nalready made that commitment the<\/p>\n
611
\n00:40:20,400 –> 00:40:23,400
\nday of our baptism, we gave our
\nlife to the Lord. <\/p>\n
612
\n00:40:24,100 –> 00:40:27,900
\nNow unfortunately, all of us
\nhave fallen back taken steps in <\/p>\n
613
\n00:40:27,900 –> 00:40:31,600
\nthe wrong direction since our
\nbaptism because none of us are <\/p>\n
614
\n00:40:31,600 –> 00:40:34,500
\nperfect.
\nBut aren’t you thankful for <\/p>\n
615
\n00:40:34,500 –> 00:40:37,300
\nforgiveness?
\nBecause if it weren’t for <\/p>\n
616
\n00:40:37,300 –> 00:40:42,800
\nforgiveness, None of us could be
\nsaved. <\/p>\n
617
\n00:40:44,500 –> 00:40:49,700
\nAnd so Brethren and sisters.
\nYou are now in the way of life. <\/p>\n
618
\n00:40:50,700 –> 00:40:55,300
\nYou who are not baptized.
\nYou now know about the way of <\/p>\n
619
\n00:40:55,300 –> 00:40:59,700
\nlife and, you know, it’s the
\nonly right way. <\/p>\n
620
\n00:41:00,100 –> 00:41:05,100
\nThere’s lots of wrong ways, but
\nthere’s only one, right way and <\/p>\n
621
\n00:41:05,100 –> 00:41:11,000
\nGod is inviting you.
\nTo participate and offering you <\/p>\n
622
\n00:41:11,000 –> 00:41:15,900
\nthe greatest reward that’s ever
\nbeen offered to human beings to <\/p>\n
623
\n00:41:15,900 –> 00:41:18,100
\nlive and Reign on this Earth
\nwith the Lord. <\/p>\n
624
\n00:41:18,100 –> 00:41:25,800
\nJesus Christ forever.
\nPeople say no. if we could just <\/p>\n
625
\n00:41:26,100 –> 00:41:30,100
\npaint for the people who are
\ntrying to teach the truth to the<\/p>\n
626
\n00:41:30,100 –> 00:41:34,700
\npicture of the goal of the
\nKingdom, We would be drawn to <\/p>\n
627
\n00:41:34,700 –> 00:41:35,800
\nit.
\nIt’s a wild horses. <\/p>\n
628
\n00:41:35,800 –> 00:41:36,800
\nCouldn’t keep you out of the
\nway. <\/p>\n
629
\n00:41:37,500 –> 00:41:42,500
\nLet me get baptized what we’re
\nfinding in the mission field and<\/p>\n
630
\n00:41:42,500 –> 00:41:47,200
\nit’s sad in a way.
\nThat we have to go so far. <\/p>\n
631
\n00:41:47,200 –> 00:41:50,400
\nIt’s God is working and he’s
\nbringing calling people out of <\/p>\n
632
\n00:41:50,400 –> 00:41:53,800
\nthe Gentiles, for his name, in
\nall these countries, where there<\/p>\n
633
\n00:41:53,800 –> 00:41:56,400
\nwere no christadelphians a few
\nyears ago. <\/p>\n
634
\n00:41:56,800 –> 00:42:00,200
\nAnd now there’s lots of
\nchristadelphians in India. <\/p>\n
635
\n00:42:00,300 –> 00:42:04,600
\nIn China, my grandson has been a
\nmissionary in China. <\/p>\n
636
\n00:42:04,600 –> 00:42:08,000
\nFor the last year, he went over
\nthere and learn Mandarin and he <\/p>\n
637
\n00:42:08,000 –> 00:42:12,000
\nwas doing actually doing
\ntranslating in Mandarin in China<\/p>\n
638
\n00:42:12,800 –> 00:42:16,700
\nand just a young boy.
\nBut he’s on fire for the truth. <\/p>\n
639
\n00:42:17,900 –> 00:42:21,400
\nbut, you see, when you talk to
\nyour neighbors about this, oh, <\/p>\n
640
\n00:42:22,400 –> 00:42:24,500
\nWatch the Telly.
\nI’m going to the Ball Game. <\/p>\n
641
\n00:42:24,800 –> 00:42:27,100
\nWe’re having a card party
\ntonight, we’re doing this <\/p>\n
642
\n00:42:27,100 –> 00:42:29,800
\nwindow.
\nEverybody in the world around. <\/p>\n
643
\n00:42:29,800 –> 00:42:34,700
\nYou probably is crowding.
\nGod out of their life and <\/p>\n
644
\n00:42:34,700 –> 00:42:38,900
\nthey’ve chosen the way of death
\nand they’re going to get what <\/p>\n
645
\n00:42:38,900 –> 00:42:42,300
\nthey chose.
\nI know that you have labor <\/p>\n
646
\n00:42:42,300 –> 00:42:48,000
\nunions and Australia We have
\nthem in America and the people <\/p>\n
647
\n00:42:48,000 –> 00:42:52,300
\nwho belong to a union often
\ntimes, go on strike and they get<\/p>\n
648
\n00:42:52,300 –> 00:42:55,900
\nlittle signs and they walk up
\nand down picketing, they want <\/p>\n
649
\n00:42:55,900 –> 00:42:59,400
\nmore money.
\nOne out, you have learned <\/p>\n
650
\n00:42:59,400 –> 00:43:03,900
\nsomething and you’re going to
\nget it and you don’t have to <\/p>\n
651
\n00:43:03,900 –> 00:43:08,000
\npick it to get it.
\nYou’re you earned it. <\/p>\n
652
\n00:43:09,000 –> 00:43:15,500
\nYou’re going to get it.
\nThe wages of sin is death. <\/p>\n
653
\n00:43:17,200 –> 00:43:20,300
\nAnd nobody has ever gotten out
\nof this life alive. <\/p>\n
654
\n00:43:21,900 –> 00:43:26,400
\nNobody ever got out of this
\nlife, not even the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n
655
\n00:43:26,400 –> 00:43:32,400
\nChrist, but he did not sin.
\nSo the grave could not hold him <\/p>\n
656
\n00:43:33,400 –> 00:43:37,400
\nand because of Christ and his
\nsacrifice for us. <\/p>\n
657
\n00:43:38,000 –> 00:43:42,800
\nIf we commit our life to him,
\nthe grave will not hold us <\/p>\n
658
\n00:43:42,800 –> 00:43:45,700
\neither.
\nSo, whether we live, we live <\/p>\n
659
\n00:43:45,700 –> 00:43:47,400
\nunto the Lord, whether we die,
\nwe die unto the Lord. <\/p>\n
660
\n00:43:47,400 –> 00:43:51,200
\nWhether we live or die.
\nWe are the Lord’s and we are in <\/p>\n
661
\n00:43:51,200 –> 00:43:54,700
\nthe way of life, and we’re
\nthankful to be in that way. <\/p>\n
662
\n00:43:55,200 –> 00:43:57,800
\nAnd we’re thankful that we’ve
\ncome together this afternoon to <\/p>\n
663
\n00:43:57,800 –> 00:44:00,600
\ntalk about this way.
\nWe have two more classes today <\/p>\n
664
\n00:44:01,000 –> 00:44:05,300
\nand then some more tomorrow But
\nI just want to thank you for <\/p>\n

\nThoughts with you. <\/p>\n
666
\n00:44:09,100 –> 00:44:12,400
\nI realize it’s not something
\nyou’ve never heard before, but I<\/p>\n
667
\n00:44:12,400 –> 00:44:16,900
\nhope that he will drive home.
\nThis re Reformation in your <\/p>\n
668
\n00:44:16,900 –> 00:44:20,100
\nmind, this is the right thing
\nand I am going to resist <\/p>\n
669
\n00:44:20,100 –> 00:44:23,000
\ntemptation.
\nI am going to give my life to <\/p>\n
670
\n00:44:23,000 –> 00:44:24,900
\nthe Lord.
\nI’m going to be able to say no <\/p>\n
671
\n00:44:25,000 –> 00:44:26,600
\nto the problems.
\nAnd I’m going to be able to <\/p>\n
672
\n00:44:26,600 –> 00:44:29,900
\naccept the problems that I have
\nand rejoice. <\/p>\n
673
\n00:44:29,900 –> 00:44:36,200
\nThat God loves me enough to give
\nme these problems. so, be <\/p>\n
674
\n00:44:36,200 –> 00:44:41,400
\nwilling to turn off the Broadway
\nto the narrow way that leads to <\/p>\n
675
\n00:44:41,400 –> 00:44:47,300
\nlife eternal God promises to
\nwipe away all tears. <\/p>\n
676
\n00:44:48,300 –> 00:44:53,100
\nFrom our eyes.
\nGod gave us tear ducts on <\/p>\n
677
\n00:44:53,100 –> 00:44:55,100
\npurpose, but in the Kingdom, we
\nwon’t need them. <\/p>\n
678
\n00:44:56,600 –> 00:45:00,100
\nBut Jesus wept.
\nIt’s okay to weep when you’re <\/p>\n
679
\n00:45:00,100 –> 00:45:02,800
\nhaving problems, but then you
\nhave to get ahold of yourself <\/p>\n
680
\n00:45:02,800 –> 00:45:07,000
\nand say yes, but I had this
\nproblem because God, you’re <\/p>\n
681
\n00:45:07,000 –> 00:45:08,900
\ntesting me.
\nYou’re preparing me for <\/p>\n
682
\n00:45:08,900 –> 00:45:11,000
\nsomething better and I can
\nhandle it. <\/p>\n
683
\n00:45:11,400 –> 00:45:15,300
\nDon’t say you can’t because you
\ncan, because the time is coming <\/p>\n
684
\n00:45:15,300 –> 00:45:17,700
\nwith there, should be no more
\ndeath, neither sorrow nor crying<\/p>\n
685
\n00:45:18,100 –> 00:45:19,900
\nneither shall there be any more
\npain. <\/p>\n
686
\n00:45:19,900 –> 00:45:22,900
\nCan you imagine that?
\nAlmost all of us experience <\/p>\n
687
\n00:45:22,900 –> 00:45:25,200
\npain.
\nSome of us are in pain. <\/p>\n
688
\n00:45:25,200 –> 00:45:27,600
\nAll the time pain is very
\ndebilitating. <\/p>\n
689
\n00:45:28,100 –> 00:45:30,800
\nIt’s free.
\nHard to keep a stiff upper lip <\/p>\n
690
\n00:45:30,800 –> 00:45:33,700
\nwhen you’re hurting all over.
\nAnd that’s true of some of you <\/p>\n
691
\n00:45:33,700 –> 00:45:37,200
\nin this audience, you’re
\nhurting, thank God for your <\/p>\n
692
\n00:45:37,200 –> 00:45:40,300
\nhurdles.
\nGod is allowing this hurt. <\/p>\n
693
\n00:45:40,500 –> 00:45:43,700
\nIf you can get medical care,
\nthat will help you do it, do it,<\/p>\n
694
\n00:45:44,000 –> 00:45:48,700
\nit’s not wrong, but what you
\nhave and you cannot change <\/p>\n
695
\n00:45:48,800 –> 00:45:54,700
\nexcept and thank God for it.
\nAnd so we could bring our first <\/p>\n
696
\n00:45:54,700 –> 00:45:57,300
\nclass to a close and you’re
\ngoing to be given a little <\/p>\n
697
\n00:45:57,300 –> 00:46:00,400
\nhandout.
\nAnd the Brethren were going to <\/p>\n
698
\n00:46:00,400 –> 00:46:04,400
\nbe passing those out now and
\nI’ve got one in my pocket but I <\/p>\n
699
\n00:46:04,408 –> 00:46:07,700

\nIt’s well, they ready to go <\/p>\n
700
\n00:46:07,700 –> 00:46:11,400
\ndown.
\nWhen you see it you won’t know <\/p>\n
701
\n00:46:11,400 –> 00:46:13,300
\nwhat it is.
\nSo I got to explain it to you. <\/p>\n
702
\n00:46:16,300 –> 00:46:20,500
\nIt’s unpronounceable.
\nI like to tell you, it’s my <\/p>\n
703
\n00:46:20,500 –> 00:46:23,800
\nbusiness card.
\nBut it doesn’t have a phone <\/p>\n
704
\n00:46:23,800 –> 00:46:25,800
\nnumber so you can still way you
\ncan contact me. <\/p>\n
705
\n00:46:29,000 –> 00:46:33,700
\nIt’s your anymore can pass out
\nfrom the back and we we were <\/p>\n

\nin your pocket.
\nBecause I want you to look at <\/p>\n
708
\n00:46:43,600 –> 00:46:46,700

\nAnd I don’t know if you know <\/p>\n
712
\n00:46:58,000 –> 00:47:03,800

713
\n00:47:03,800 –> 00:47:05,800
