2
\n00:00:10,800 –> 00:00:13,900
\neveryone.
\nIt’s really nice to be with you <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:13,900 –> 00:00:18,400
\nall here and share what
\nhopefully is going to be a <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:18,400 –> 00:00:21,200
\nreally excellent week together
\nwith all of you. <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:23,500 –> 00:00:28,500
\nAnd I say, hopefully because we
\nlive in a new world, don’t we? <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:28,500 –> 00:00:33,300
\nWhere we don’t know from day to
\nday what is going to happen from<\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:33,300 –> 00:00:35,100
\nhour to hour?
\nWhat is going to happen? <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:35,100 –> 00:00:38,900
\nSo what that’s taught me coming
\nfrom Melbourne is you’ve got to <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:38,908 –> 00:00:42,900
\nmake the most of every single
\nmoment that you have at any time<\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:44,500 –> 00:00:50,200
\nand I look at on this audience
\nand to me it’s just amazing to <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:50,200 –> 00:00:54,600
\nhave this many people in a room.
\nComing from Melbourne where for <\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:54,600 –> 00:00:58,700
\nthe last two years we’ve had I
\nthink something like 280 days of<\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:58,700 –> 00:01:04,900
\nlockdown and just last Sunday,
\nwe were able to for the very <\/p>\n
14
\n00:01:04,900 –> 00:01:08,100
\nfirst time.
\nActually meet together as a <\/p>\n
15
\n00:01:08,100 –> 00:01:11,100
\nwhole Ecclesia since this
\npandemic began. <\/p>\n
16
\n00:01:11,900 –> 00:01:13,100
\nIt’s amazing.
\nIsn’t it? <\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:13,500 –> 00:01:16,500
\nI remember we had a youth group
\nbefore when it was just <\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:16,500 –> 00:01:18,000
\nstarting.
\nWe were just starting to hear <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:18,000 –> 00:01:20,300
\nabout all of this.
\nThis thing that was going on. <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:20,300 –> 00:01:23,700
\nAnd, and the speaker that youth
\ngroup said, just imagine like <\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:24,200 –> 00:01:26,900
\nthat, this is the last time
\nwe’re going to be able to meet <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:26,900 –> 00:01:29,400
\ntogether as a group for a long
\nlong period of time. <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:30,400 –> 00:01:31,700
\nAnd that’s exactly what
\nhappened. <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:32,600 –> 00:01:35,600
\nAnd here we are two years later
\nstill. <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:35,600 –> 00:01:39,200
\nIn the circumstances that we
\nfind ourselves in, but we have <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:39,300 –> 00:01:43,800
\nan opportunity this week that
\nGod’s given us to be together <\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:44,400 –> 00:01:48,300
\nand to Fellowship together.
\nAnd that’s such an awesome thing<\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:48,300 –> 00:01:51,500
\nfor us to experience.
\nAnd it was, it was it even <\/p>\n
29
\n00:01:51,500 –> 00:01:54,700
\nexperienced just for us to get
\nacross to the border to get <\/p>\n
30
\n00:01:54,700 –> 00:01:58,100
\nhere, right?
\nIt’s been a mission, I’ve had so<\/p>\n
31
\n00:01:58,100 –> 00:02:01,600
\nmany things stuck up my nose.
\nMy mouth and the mouths of my <\/p>\n
32
\n00:02:01,600 –> 00:02:04,800
\nfamily and my kids, right?
\nJust to get across the border, <\/p>\n
33
\n00:02:05,400 –> 00:02:09,800
\nhere’s a picture of Earth.
\nWhen we just arrived across the <\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:09,800 –> 00:02:12,900
\nSouth Australian Border, having
\ngot through all the, you know, <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:12,900 –> 00:02:16,100
\nthe the Army there, you know,
\nthat’s there to stop victorians <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:16,100 –> 00:02:19,900
\ngetting across, we managed to
\nget across and here’s a picture <\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:19,900 –> 00:02:24,900
\nof my beautiful family for kids
\nand my wife, I must have been, I<\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:24,908 –> 00:02:27,700
\nlooked at that picture and
\nthought it looks like, I got <\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:27,700 –> 00:02:32,200
\nfive kids, they’re right.
\nBut Of them actually is my wife <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:32,200 –> 00:02:35,400
\nLeann and my four kids.
\nEarlier this year, we went to, <\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:36,400 –> 00:02:39,800
\nwe went to manage to get on a
\nplane and go on a holiday and I <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:39,800 –> 00:02:43,000
\nwas up the front at the ticket
\nbooth and something had gone <\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:43,000 –> 00:02:46,400
\nwrong and the man and I was
\nthere with Leann and the man <\/p>\n
44
\n00:02:46,400 –> 00:02:49,700
\nsaid to me, looks at we’ve got a
\nbit of a delay here. <\/p>\n
45
\n00:02:49,700 –> 00:02:55,000
\nCould you and your daughter?
\nSo, and stand aside, and we’ll <\/p>\n
46
\n00:02:55,000 –> 00:02:57,500
\nget there soon.
\nSo that’s gratefully an right? <\/p>\n
47
\n00:02:57,500 –> 00:03:01,700
\nNot so good for me.
\nBut we made it across here. <\/p>\n
48
\n00:03:01,900 –> 00:03:04,300
\nAnd in challenging times, we’re
\nall here together. <\/p>\n
49
\n00:03:06,100 –> 00:03:11,700
\nAnd we’re going to be looking at
\nthis week. the man, Peter And <\/p>\n
50
\n00:03:11,700 –> 00:03:13,200
\nhe’s a great character, isn’t
\nhe? <\/p>\n
51
\n00:03:13,400 –> 00:03:18,700
\nBecause as soon as you say the
\nman, Peter we all picture in our<\/p>\n
52
\n00:03:18,700 –> 00:03:23,400
\nmind of a man that we that we
\nalmost know already because he’s<\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:23,400 –> 00:03:27,400
\nsuch a graphic and powerful
\ncharacter in The Bible and he be<\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:27,500 –> 00:03:30,200
\none of the most loved wouldn’t
\nhe in all the scripture? <\/p>\n
55
\n00:03:31,000 –> 00:03:36,500
\nThis man Peter, and I think one
\nof the reasons why he is like <\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:36,500 –> 00:03:41,300
\nthat is because he’s so real.
\nHe’s such a real character, he’s<\/p>\n
57
\n00:03:41,300 –> 00:03:44,700
\na character that has these
\nunbelievable triumphs in his <\/p>\n
58
\n00:03:44,700 –> 00:03:47,500
\nlife.
\nThese moments of great faith. <\/p>\n
59
\n00:03:48,800 –> 00:03:52,200
\nBut he’s also a man that has
\nmoments of great doubt. <\/p>\n
60
\n00:03:53,300 –> 00:03:56,800
\nAnd he has moments of Great
\nDepression. <\/p>\n
61
\n00:03:58,400 –> 00:04:03,000
\nAnd moments of great trial.
\nBut through all of those things,<\/p>\n
62
\n00:04:03,000 –> 00:04:07,700
\nthis man is able to work his way
\nthrough those different aspects <\/p>\n
63
\n00:04:07,700 –> 00:04:12,900
\nof his life and that I find so
\nhelpful because I can relate to <\/p>\n
64
\n00:04:12,900 –> 00:04:15,200
\nit.
\nSo hopefully you’re going to be <\/p>\n
65
\n00:04:15,200 –> 00:04:18,899
\nable to relate to some of the
\nlessons that we take from Peter <\/p>\n
66
\n00:04:19,600 –> 00:04:22,400
\nthis week.
\nThe other thing that’s so great <\/p>\n
67
\n00:04:22,400 –> 00:04:26,400
\nabout looking at Peter is that
\nit’s a study of Our Lord as <\/p>\n
68
\n00:04:26,400 –> 00:04:28,700
\nwell.
\nAnd it’s nothing better than <\/p>\n
69
\n00:04:28,700 –> 00:04:33,900
\nlooking at our Lord because he’s
\nhe’s the master he’s the most <\/p>\n
70
\n00:04:33,900 –> 00:04:37,300
\namazing man that ever lived.
\nAnd we’re going to watch our <\/p>\n
71
\n00:04:37,300 –> 00:04:42,300
\nLord as he works with this man,
\nPeter To bring him to where he <\/p>\n
72
\n00:04:42,300 –> 00:04:46,300
\nwants him to bring and that’s
\ngoing to be a beautiful to watch<\/p>\n
73
\n00:04:46,300 –> 00:04:48,600
\nand see as he works with that
\nman. <\/p>\n
74
\n00:04:49,900 –> 00:04:52,800
\nAnd we’re going to look at
\npredominantly the gospel record <\/p>\n
75
\n00:04:52,800 –> 00:04:54,600
\nof Peter.
\nWe’re going to look at from <\/p>\n
76
\n00:04:54,600 –> 00:04:56,700
\ntonight.
\nHe’s calling right through to <\/p>\n
77
\n00:04:56,700 –> 00:04:59,200
\nJohn chapter 21 and then our
\nlast study will look a little <\/p>\n
78
\n00:04:59,200 –> 00:05:04,300
\nbit at acts and then through
\ninto his into his letters a <\/p>\n
79
\n00:05:04,308 –> 00:05:06,900
\nlittle bit and what we’ll find
\nand we will look at his letters <\/p>\n
80
\n00:05:06,900 –> 00:05:10,000
\na little bit because The letters
\nwere written right at the end of<\/p>\n
81
\n00:05:10,000 –> 00:05:13,000
\nhis life.
\nAnd they’re great because what <\/p>\n
82
\n00:05:13,000 –> 00:05:15,500
\nthey do is they give us a little
\ncommentary every now and again <\/p>\n
83
\n00:05:15,500 –> 00:05:18,400
\nabout some of the lessons that
\nhe learned and some of the <\/p>\n
84
\n00:05:18,400 –> 00:05:20,900
\nthings that he went through,
\nhe’ll refer back to in his <\/p>\n
85
\n00:05:20,900 –> 00:05:25,300
\nletter years later.
\nAnd he show us what he learned <\/p>\n
86
\n00:05:25,800 –> 00:05:28,800
\nand some of the powerful
\nmessages that he’s Lord taught <\/p>\n
87
\n00:05:28,800 –> 00:05:32,500
\nhim.
\nSo let’s turn to John chapter 1 <\/p>\n
88
\n00:05:32,700 –> 00:05:37,500
\nand let’s go back, 2000 years to
\nthis different world to ours. <\/p>\n
89
\n00:05:40,900 –> 00:05:43,700
\nAnd when I say different world,
\nI mean different since different<\/p>\n
90
\n00:05:43,700 –> 00:05:47,100
\nin time and Circumstance, but
\nnot really that different really<\/p>\n
91
\n00:05:47,100 –> 00:05:51,400
\nwhen it comes to people because
\npeople really haven’t changed in<\/p>\n
92
\n00:05:51,400 –> 00:05:55,300
\nthat time.
\nAnd in John chapter 1, we see a <\/p>\n
93
\n00:05:55,300 –> 00:06:01,800
\ngroup of people Who are
\nsearching for something greater <\/p>\n
94
\n00:06:01,800 –> 00:06:05,000
\nand better in life.
\nThis group of men, these group <\/p>\n
95
\n00:06:05,000 –> 00:06:09,500
\nof disciples have been searching
\nand their search has led. <\/p>\n
96
\n00:06:09,500 –> 00:06:13,800
\nIt led them to this man named
\nJohn this amazing Prophet who <\/p>\n
97
\n00:06:13,800 –> 00:06:18,900
\nappeared in the land.
\nAnd we see in John chapter 1, we<\/p>\n
98
\n00:06:18,900 –> 00:06:22,300
\nsee that John, the Baptist has
\ncome to the end of his <\/p>\n
99
\n00:06:22,300 –> 00:06:26,800
\nparticular teaching and in verse
\n36 it says and looking upon <\/p>\n
100
\n00:06:26,900 –> 00:06:30,500
\nJesus.
\nThis is John as he walked, he <\/p>\n
101
\n00:06:30,500 –> 00:06:35,700
\nsaid, behold the lamb and what
\nhe was doing was he was pointing<\/p>\n
102
\n00:06:35,700 –> 00:06:40,300
\nall these disciples that he’d
\nbeen teaching on to Jesus <\/p>\n
103
\n00:06:40,300 –> 00:06:43,800
\nChrist, who was going to take
\nover from him who he was <\/p>\n
104
\n00:06:43,800 –> 00:06:50,700
\nintroducing, and verse 37 says,
\nand the two disciples heard him <\/p>\n
105
\n00:06:50,700 –> 00:06:55,400
\nspeak.
\nAnd they followed Jesus. so, <\/p>\n
106
\n00:06:55,400 –> 00:07:00,000
\nthese men who’d been following
\nJohn, Obey the words of John. <\/p>\n
107
\n00:07:01,100 –> 00:07:04,200
\nAnd they see this man, Jesus
\nwalking. <\/p>\n
108
\n00:07:05,500 –> 00:07:10,600
\nAnd they follow him.
\nAnd begin to follow this man, <\/p>\n
109
\n00:07:11,000 –> 00:07:15,400
\nJesus.
\nAnd verse 38 says and Jesus <\/p>\n
110
\n00:07:15,400 –> 00:07:17,900
\nturned around as he saw these
\ntwo men following. <\/p>\n
111
\n00:07:17,900 –> 00:07:20,600
\nThey probably followed for a
\nlittle while and Jesus <\/p>\n
112
\n00:07:20,800 –> 00:07:23,700
\nrecognizes that they follow
\ntheir following him and Jesus <\/p>\n
113
\n00:07:23,700 –> 00:07:26,200
\nturns around to them and he says
\nto them. <\/p>\n
114
\n00:07:26,600 –> 00:07:31,500
\nWhat are you seeking?
\nWhat do you guys want? <\/p>\n
115
\n00:07:33,100 –> 00:07:38,100
\nWhy are you following me?
\nWhat are you after? <\/p>\n
116
\n00:07:39,500 –> 00:07:42,000
\nWe’ll see these men were seeking
\nsomething. <\/p>\n
117
\n00:07:43,200 –> 00:07:45,600
\nAnd what they were seeking was
\nthey were seeking something <\/p>\n
118
\n00:07:45,600 –> 00:07:49,100
\ngreater in life and what that
\nwas was the Messiah. <\/p>\n
119
\n00:07:49,400 –> 00:07:53,100
\nThis savior that was going to
\ncome and they’d heard about this<\/p>\n
120
\n00:07:53,100 –> 00:07:55,600
\nMessiah that was going to come
\nand they were interested in it <\/p>\n
121
\n00:07:56,200 –> 00:08:00,500
\nand they wanted to know more
\nabout him and this Pursuit that <\/p>\n
122
\n00:08:00,500 –> 00:08:04,000
\nthey went on had led them to
\nthis man, John, who had started <\/p>\n
123
\n00:08:04,000 –> 00:08:07,400
\npreaching in this amazing way.
\nAnd they started following him <\/p>\n
124
\n00:08:07,400 –> 00:08:10,300
\naround the country, wherever
\nhe’d speak, to listen to what he<\/p>\n
125
\n00:08:10,300 –> 00:08:12,800
\nhad to say.
\nAnd most importantly to listen <\/p>\n
126
\n00:08:12,800 –> 00:08:15,900
\nto He had to say about the
\nMessiah, this man that was going<\/p>\n
127
\n00:08:15,900 –> 00:08:20,400
\nto come.
\nThey were actively pursuing this<\/p>\n
128
\n00:08:20,400 –> 00:08:23,200
\nman and they were listening
\ncarefully to him. <\/p>\n
129
\n00:08:23,200 –> 00:08:25,900
\nWeren’t they you might have
\npicked it up in verse 37. <\/p>\n
130
\n00:08:25,900 –> 00:08:29,000
\nWhen John directed them to go to
\nJesus. <\/p>\n
131
\n00:08:29,100 –> 00:08:31,800
\nThey listen to what this man
\nsaid because they daughter <\/p>\n
132
\n00:08:31,800 –> 00:08:35,600
\nalready recognize that the words
\nof John were powerful and they <\/p>\n
133
\n00:08:35,600 –> 00:08:39,299
\nhad something in them and when
\nhe said, you need to start <\/p>\n
134
\n00:08:39,299 –> 00:08:42,400
\nfollowing this man, they listen
\nto him. <\/p>\n
135
\n00:08:43,900 –> 00:08:46,900
\nAnd they followed him.
\nAnd you know, look what else <\/p>\n
136
\n00:08:46,900 –> 00:08:51,300
\nthey were doing in their search.
\nFirst 45 says, this and Philip, <\/p>\n
137
\n00:08:51,300 –> 00:08:54,900
\nhe was one of these men who was
\nsearching it says, Philip found <\/p>\n
138
\n00:08:54,900 –> 00:09:00,000
\nNathanael.
\nAnd he said unto him, we found <\/p>\n
139
\n00:09:00,000 –> 00:09:06,900
\nhim, we found the Messiah.
\nOf whom Moses and the law, and <\/p>\n
140
\n00:09:06,900 –> 00:09:11,700
\nthe prophets did, right?
\nJesus of Nazareth, the son of <\/p>\n
141
\n00:09:11,700 –> 00:09:15,300
\nJoseph.
\nSo their search was not just <\/p>\n
142
\n00:09:15,300 –> 00:09:18,900
\nlistening to John, but they’d
\nbeen searching themselves in the<\/p>\n
143
\n00:09:18,900 –> 00:09:21,100
\nOld Testament.
\nBible to find out about this <\/p>\n
144
\n00:09:21,100 –> 00:09:23,400
\nMessiah.
\nThat gone back to Moses and then<\/p>\n
145
\n00:09:23,400 –> 00:09:25,500
\nthey’d gone through the prophets
\nand they were trying to find <\/p>\n
146
\n00:09:25,600 –> 00:09:28,700
\neverything.
\nThey could about this man to <\/p>\n
147
\n00:09:28,700 –> 00:09:32,000
\nlearn more about him to learn
\nwho he was. <\/p>\n
148
\n00:09:33,100 –> 00:09:36,300
\nAnd that is founded.
\nAnd they’re seeking it. <\/p>\n
149
\n00:09:37,600 –> 00:09:39,600
\nAnd Jesus says, what do you
\nwant? <\/p>\n
150
\n00:09:40,800 –> 00:09:45,700
\nAnd I answer in verse 38, they
\nsaid unto him Rabbi which is to <\/p>\n
151
\n00:09:45,700 –> 00:09:48,800
\nsay B, which is to say being
\ninterpreted Master. <\/p>\n
152
\n00:09:49,300 –> 00:09:53,400
\nWhere do you dwell?
\nWe want to know where you live, <\/p>\n
153
\n00:09:53,500 –> 00:09:56,200
\nJesus.
\nBecause we want to come and <\/p>\n
154
\n00:09:56,200 –> 00:10:01,100
\nspend time with you. and we want
\nto learn from you and find out <\/p>\n
155
\n00:10:01,100 –> 00:10:06,300
\nfrom you more and more
\ninformation about you And see <\/p>\n
156
\n00:10:06,300 –> 00:10:07,800
\nbrothers and sisters and young
\npeople. <\/p>\n
157
\n00:10:07,800 –> 00:10:11,300
\nThis is how discipleship starts,
\nand we’re going to be looking at<\/p>\n
158
\n00:10:11,300 –> 00:10:16,400
\nthis week, some lessons in
\ndiscipleship and discipleship <\/p>\n
159
\n00:10:16,400 –> 00:10:21,900
\nstarts where these men, we find
\nthese men in an active Pursuit <\/p>\n
160
\n00:10:22,300 –> 00:10:27,300
\nfor Jesus Christ.
\nThese men were actively pursuing<\/p>\n
161
\n00:10:27,600 –> 00:10:29,900
\nJesus Christ.
\nThey were actively pursuing <\/p>\n
162
\n00:10:30,000 –> 00:10:32,900
\nsomething different in life.
\nAnd what they were doing was <\/p>\n
163
\n00:10:32,900 –> 00:10:37,300
\nthey were listening and they
\nwere searching and they were <\/p>\n
164
\n00:10:37,300 –> 00:10:41,700
\nmaking sure they went to the
\nright places to listen and hear <\/p>\n
165
\n00:10:41,700 –> 00:10:44,100
\nand get what they need to hear.
\nAnd if they have to travel all <\/p>\n
166
\n00:10:44,100 –> 00:10:46,500
\nthe way down to the bottom of
\nJordan, where John was <\/p>\n
167
\n00:10:46,500 –> 00:10:49,500
\npreaching, they do it and now
\nthey’ve been directed to Jesus <\/p>\n
168
\n00:10:49,600 –> 00:10:51,300
\nand they want to spend time with
\nhim. <\/p>\n
169
\n00:10:52,500 –> 00:10:58,700
\nBecause he’s got this message.
\nAnd that’s the same with us. if <\/p>\n
170
\n00:10:58,700 –> 00:11:03,200
\nwe want to find Jesus Christ, if
\nwe want to find the truth of his<\/p>\n
171
\n00:11:03,200 –> 00:11:09,000
\nmessage, we’ve got to pursue it.
\nAnd that Pursuit needs to be <\/p>\n
172
\n00:11:09,000 –> 00:11:12,000
\nactive.
\nWe can’t expect that one day. <\/p>\n
173
\n00:11:12,300 –> 00:11:14,900
\nWe’re just going to get like a
\nlightning bolt out of the sky. <\/p>\n
174
\n00:11:14,900 –> 00:11:17,700
\nThat’s going to struck Us in the
\nhead that suddenly going to make<\/p>\n
175
\n00:11:17,700 –> 00:11:20,400
\na spiritually motivated,
\nunderstand everything about <\/p>\n
176
\n00:11:20,400 –> 00:11:23,000
\nJesus and about the kingdom
\nbecause that’s not how it works.<\/p>\n
177
\n00:11:24,100 –> 00:11:27,400
\nIf we want to find out about
\nChrist, if we want to find out <\/p>\n
178
\n00:11:27,400 –> 00:11:31,100
\nsomething better and something
\ngreater, in this life, we’re <\/p>\n
179
\n00:11:31,100 –> 00:11:33,700
\ngoing to pursue it.
\nAnd that’s what Jesus said, <\/p>\n
180
\n00:11:33,700 –> 00:11:39,300
\ndidn’t he?
\nhe said, ask and it shall be <\/p>\n
181
\n00:11:39,308 –> 00:11:41,900
\ngiven unto you.
\nSeek. <\/p>\n
182
\n00:11:43,100 –> 00:11:48,900
\nAnd you shall find knock.
\nAnd it shall be opened unto you.<\/p>\n
183
\n00:11:49,300 –> 00:11:54,400
\nEach of those words are active
\nwords because that’s how Christ <\/p>\n
184
\n00:11:54,400 –> 00:11:58,100
\nwants us to pursue him actively,
\nand that’s what these men’s men <\/p>\n
185
\n00:11:58,100 –> 00:11:59,900
\nare doing.
\nThey are pursuing him. <\/p>\n
186
\n00:11:59,900 –> 00:12:02,500
\nAnd Jesus says, to him, in verse
\n39, very casually. <\/p>\n
187
\n00:12:02,500 –> 00:12:06,000
\nI love the way that Jesus
\nwrites, this it, Says this, he <\/p>\n
188
\n00:12:06,000 –> 00:12:10,900
\nsays he said unto them come and
\nsee so Jesus doesn’t pressurize <\/p>\n
189
\n00:12:10,900 –> 00:12:12,800
\nthese men.
\nHe says just come and have a <\/p>\n
190
\n00:12:12,808 –> 00:12:15,600
\nlook.
\nCome and see what I’ve got. <\/p>\n
191
\n00:12:16,500 –> 00:12:21,200
\nAnd these men go and verse 39,
\nand they abide with him and <\/p>\n
192
\n00:12:21,200 –> 00:12:24,700
\ndwell with him.
\nAnd I was so impressed when they<\/p>\n
193
\n00:12:24,700 –> 00:12:26,800
\ngot into his house.
\nAnd they started to listen to <\/p>\n
194
\n00:12:26,800 –> 00:12:32,400
\nthis man that they stayed the
\nentire night verse 39 says, and <\/p>\n
195
\n00:12:32,400 –> 00:12:36,300
\nJohn says, it was about the
\ntenth hour, right? <\/p>\n
196
\n00:12:36,400 –> 00:12:41,700
\nSo, he remembered the very hour
\nin which he came into that <\/p>\n
197
\n00:12:41,700 –> 00:12:44,700
\nhouse.
\nWe remember things, don’t we <\/p>\n
198
\n00:12:44,700 –> 00:12:47,700
\nthat are really important to us
\nor make a difference in our <\/p>\n
199
\n00:12:47,700 –> 00:12:49,700
\nlife.
\nI can still remember this is a <\/p>\n
200
\n00:12:49,700 –> 00:12:54,400
\ngood one to get in early I can
\nstill remember the very moment. <\/p>\n
201
\n00:12:54,400 –> 00:12:59,200
\nI first saw my wife right.
\nShe was probably 15 years old <\/p>\n
202
\n00:12:59,700 –> 00:13:04,000
\nSun was shining just still
\nremember the beauty, the Beauty <\/p>\n
203
\n00:13:04,000 –> 00:13:07,100
\nand the glint in her eye.
\nWell Jesus. <\/p>\n
204
\n00:13:07,100 –> 00:13:12,300
\nThese men remembered The very
\nmoment they met Christ for the <\/p>\n
205
\n00:13:12,300 –> 00:13:15,800
\nfirst time.
\nAnd I ended up staying the <\/p>\n
206
\n00:13:15,800 –> 00:13:19,900
\nentire night with him and the
\nvery next morning. <\/p>\n
207
\n00:13:19,900 –> 00:13:23,100
\nIt says these two men who were
\nJohn and Andrew. <\/p>\n
208
\n00:13:23,400 –> 00:13:26,700
\nThese two men were so excited
\nabout what they’d found that <\/p>\n
209
\n00:13:26,700 –> 00:13:30,500
\nthey ran from that house as
\nquickly as they possibly could. <\/p>\n
210
\n00:13:30,600 –> 00:13:34,600
\nAnd verse 40 41 says that P,
\nthat’s Andrew. <\/p>\n
211
\n00:13:35,800 –> 00:13:41,100
\nWent first to find his brother.
\nAnd he says verse 41. <\/p>\n
212
\n00:13:41,100 –> 00:13:45,600
\nHe first found his own brother
\nSimon and said unto him. <\/p>\n
213
\n00:13:45,800 –> 00:13:50,500
\nWe have found the Messiah, which
\nis being interpreted the Christ.<\/p>\n
214
\n00:13:50,700 –> 00:13:55,600
\nWe’ve found him says Andrew to
\nhis brother Peter, this man that<\/p>\n
215
\n00:13:55,600 –> 00:13:57,700
\nwe’ve been looking at the
\nMessiah. <\/p>\n
216
\n00:13:58,400 –> 00:14:02,300
\nHe’s the one that we found now,
\ntheir idea of who the Messiah <\/p>\n
217
\n00:14:02,300 –> 00:14:07,200
\nwas at this point was like a
\nsavior who was going to come see<\/p>\n
218
\n00:14:07,200 –> 00:14:10,200
\nIsrael at that time.
\nIs under in, under oppression <\/p>\n
219
\n00:14:11,000 –> 00:14:15,700
\nfrom the Romans.
\nAnd they were desperate to find <\/p>\n
220
\n00:14:15,700 –> 00:14:17,900
\nsomeone who could lead them out
\nof that. <\/p>\n
221
\n00:14:18,400 –> 00:14:22,100
\nAnd so they’re concept at this
\nstage of a messiah, was an <\/p>\n
222
\n00:14:22,100 –> 00:14:25,300
\namazing savior that was going to
\ncome and save them from the <\/p>\n
223
\n00:14:25,300 –> 00:14:32,400
\nRoman, the Roman people.
\nAnd so, Having told Peter <\/p>\n
224
\n00:14:33,700 –> 00:14:38,900
\nAndrew, then brings Peter to
\nJesus Christ and we have their <\/p>\n
225
\n00:14:38,900 –> 00:14:46,700
\nfirst meeting in verse 42.
\nAnd he brought him to Jesus. <\/p>\n
226
\n00:14:48,400 –> 00:14:54,600
\nAnd when Jesus beheld him, He
\nsaid Thou Art, Simon, the son of<\/p>\n
227
\n00:14:54,800 –> 00:14:58,600
\nJonah.
\nThou shalt be called cephas. <\/p>\n
228
\n00:14:59,600 –> 00:15:03,500
\nWhich is in by, which is by
\ninterpretation a stone. <\/p>\n
229
\n00:15:05,000 –> 00:15:11,800
\nSo Andrew brings Peter to Jesus.
\nAnd when Jesus sees Peter, he <\/p>\n
230
\n00:15:12,000 –> 00:15:17,200
\nlooks at him, and the word means
\nthat he stared deep into Peter. <\/p>\n
231
\n00:15:17,600 –> 00:15:22,200
\nHis eyes at this man.
\nAnd what did he say? <\/p>\n
232
\n00:15:24,000 –> 00:15:26,700
\nWell, what he saw when he saw
\nPeter and I’m sure you’ve <\/p>\n
233
\n00:15:26,700 –> 00:15:30,300
\nalready got a bit of a visual
\npicture of what Peter looks <\/p>\n
234
\n00:15:30,300 –> 00:15:32,600
\nlike.
\nBut here’s some things about him<\/p>\n
235
\n00:15:32,600 –> 00:15:35,000
\nthat maybe will help to build
\nthat picture of what this man <\/p>\n
236
\n00:15:35,000 –> 00:15:37,000
\nwas.
\nLike, when he saw him, he saw a <\/p>\n
237
\n00:15:37,000 –> 00:15:41,100
\nman from bethsaida.
\nBethsaida was like a small <\/p>\n
238
\n00:15:41,100 –> 00:15:47,400
\nlittle fishing Village on one
\nside of On one side of the Sea <\/p>\n
239
\n00:15:47,400 –> 00:15:52,400
\nof Galilee.
\nAnd this man that the word <\/p>\n
240
\n00:15:52,400 –> 00:15:56,800
\nbethsaida means House of fish.
\nAnd Peter was a fisherman. <\/p>\n
241
\n00:15:58,000 –> 00:16:01,000
\nAnd he would have come from
\nbethsaida and everyone from <\/p>\n
242
\n00:16:01,000 –> 00:16:02,500
\nbest, cider would have been a
\nfisherman. <\/p>\n
243
\n00:16:03,100 –> 00:16:05,800
\nHis dad would have been a
\nfisherman and his Grandpa would <\/p>\n
244
\n00:16:05,800 –> 00:16:08,500
\nhave been a fisherman and his
\nGrandpa’s, Grandpa would have <\/p>\n
245
\n00:16:08,500 –> 00:16:11,000
\nbeen a fisherman.
\nThey were from a long line of <\/p>\n
246
\n00:16:11,000 –> 00:16:15,500
\nfishermen for Generations.
\nAnd Peter was probably in his <\/p>\n
247
\n00:16:15,500 –> 00:16:19,400
\nlate 20s.
\nMaybe early 30s a young man. <\/p>\n
248
\n00:16:19,400 –> 00:16:22,200
\nHe’s absolute prime.
\nHe was big bright. <\/p>\n
249
\n00:16:22,200 –> 00:16:24,100
\nHe was a big man.
\nHe was a strong man. <\/p>\n
250
\n00:16:24,200 –> 00:16:28,600
\nHe was used to lifting huge Nets
\nand pulling fish out of the sea <\/p>\n
251
\n00:16:29,300 –> 00:16:32,300
\nin a huge catch.
\nHe had a beard. <\/p>\n
252
\n00:16:32,600 –> 00:16:34,900
\nI imagine he had a beard.
\nI’d be shocked if I get to the <\/p>\n
253
\n00:16:34,900 –> 00:16:38,700
\nkingdom and he’s clean shaven
\nright by imagining with a huge <\/p>\n
254
\n00:16:38,700 –> 00:16:41,200
\nbig beard, right?
\nHow do you face would have been <\/p>\n
255
\n00:16:41,200 –> 00:16:45,900
\nlined with all of the the Either
\nof the sea and he was at often <\/p>\n
256
\n00:16:45,900 –> 00:16:50,400
\nat night working that working
\nthe Nets and fishing in his boat<\/p>\n
257
\n00:16:50,500 –> 00:16:53,500
\nand he probably stunk of fish,
\nprobably the whole of bethsaida <\/p>\n
258
\n00:16:53,500 –> 00:16:55,900
\nstunk of fish, right?
\nAnd everyone would have known <\/p>\n
259
\n00:16:55,900 –> 00:16:57,900
\nthat.
\nThese were the fisherman from <\/p>\n
260
\n00:16:57,900 –> 00:17:04,099
\nbethsaida and he was loud.
\nHe was outspoken, he was Brash. <\/p>\n
261
\n00:17:04,099 –> 00:17:06,200
\nWe know that he had a very, very
\ncolorful tongue. <\/p>\n
262
\n00:17:06,200 –> 00:17:10,300
\nAnd it comes out at times in the
\nrecord, this man was was an <\/p>\n
263
\n00:17:10,300 –> 00:17:14,300
\nin-your-face type character.
\nHe was emotional. <\/p>\n
264
\n00:17:15,500 –> 00:17:19,900
\nHe was a man that was fiercely
\nloyal to anyone that he came to <\/p>\n
265
\n00:17:19,900 –> 00:17:22,599
\nknow and love, he was passionate
\nabout them. <\/p>\n
266
\n00:17:24,000 –> 00:17:28,000
\nBut he’s also lovable.
\nHe was the kind of man that when<\/p>\n
267
\n00:17:28,000 –> 00:17:31,200
\nhe came into the room, you knew
\nabout it. <\/p>\n
268
\n00:17:31,700 –> 00:17:34,400
\nYou knew that Peter was there
\ninstantly? <\/p>\n
269
\n00:17:34,800 –> 00:17:38,100
\nBecause there was this this,
\nthis, this or about his <\/p>\n
270
\n00:17:38,100 –> 00:17:41,300
\ncharacter.
\nThat’s the man. <\/p>\n
271
\n00:17:41,300 –> 00:17:47,400
\nPeter, that’s what he was like.
\nAnd he also was looking for <\/p>\n
272
\n00:17:47,400 –> 00:17:50,100
\nsomething greater than just this
\nlife. <\/p>\n
273
\n00:17:51,200 –> 00:17:55,700
\nHe was seeking something bigger
\nand he saw it in the Messiah. <\/p>\n
274
\n00:17:55,700 –> 00:17:58,100
\nThis idea of the Messiah.
\nHer man, he was going to come <\/p>\n
275
\n00:17:58,100 –> 00:18:01,200
\nand save them from the Romans
\nand he was interested to know <\/p>\n
276
\n00:18:01,200 –> 00:18:04,700
\nwho this man was and suddenly
\nhe’s got this man Jesus in front<\/p>\n
277
\n00:18:04,700 –> 00:18:07,000
\nof him and he looked right
\nthrough him and you know what? <\/p>\n
278
\n00:18:07,000 –> 00:18:11,400
\nHe already knew him.
\nHe says there in verse 22, 42 <\/p>\n
279
\n00:18:11,500 –> 00:18:18,600
\nand Jesus said unto him, Thou
\nArt Simon Son of Jonah but <\/p>\n
280
\n00:18:18,600 –> 00:18:23,400
\nyou’re going to be called.
\nCephas which is in by <\/p>\n
281
\n00:18:23,400 –> 00:18:26,300
\ninterpretation.
\nA stone would be pretty awkward <\/p>\n
282
\n00:18:26,300 –> 00:18:27,700
\nwouldn’t.
\nIf that’s the first meeting you <\/p>\n
283
\n00:18:27,700 –> 00:18:30,000
\nhad with someone, and they
\nlooked you right in the eye. <\/p>\n
284
\n00:18:32,500 –> 00:18:38,400
\nAnd I said your name. and I said
\nthe name of your family, and I <\/p>\n
285
\n00:18:38,408 –> 00:18:43,800
\nsaid, you’re going to be Peter,
\na rock. <\/p>\n
286
\n00:18:45,100 –> 00:18:50,800
\nA stone.
\nAnd what is a change of name <\/p>\n
287
\n00:18:50,800 –> 00:18:53,200
\nusually made in the Bible?
\nWe know. <\/p>\n
288
\n00:18:53,200 –> 00:18:57,200
\nDon’t we that Abram became
\nAbraham? <\/p>\n
289
\n00:18:59,000 –> 00:19:04,000
\nAnd Jacob became Israel.
\nAnd God uses the idea of <\/p>\n
290
\n00:19:04,000 –> 00:19:09,600
\nchanging a name to show that
\nsomeone’s character changes and <\/p>\n
291
\n00:19:09,600 –> 00:19:12,200
\nthey develop because he’s going
\nto develop them. <\/p>\n
292
\n00:19:12,300 –> 00:19:15,400
\nAnd that’s what Jesus was going
\nto do with this man. <\/p>\n
293
\n00:19:15,500 –> 00:19:18,100
\nHe was going to change him from
\nSimon. <\/p>\n
294
\n00:19:19,800 –> 00:19:23,400
\nTo Peter.
\nAnd Simon means hearing. <\/p>\n
295
\n00:19:24,400 –> 00:19:27,700
\nAnd that’s actually, the means
\nby which this man was going to <\/p>\n
296
\n00:19:27,700 –> 00:19:31,300
\nbe converted by listening to
\nthis, man, Jesus. <\/p>\n
297
\n00:19:32,100 –> 00:19:36,400
\nAnd if he listened, Then Jesus
\nwas going to turn him into Peter<\/p>\n
298
\n00:19:36,600 –> 00:19:39,400
\nand what is Peter mean, Peter
\nmeans Rock. <\/p>\n
299
\n00:19:40,900 –> 00:19:46,800
\nPray to means stable.
\nPeter means confirmed, a man who<\/p>\n
300
\n00:19:46,800 –> 00:19:51,200
\nknows where he’s going in life,
\nhas purpose has Direction. <\/p>\n
301
\n00:19:52,400 –> 00:19:54,500
\nAnd that’s what Jesus was going
\nto do to this man. <\/p>\n
302
\n00:19:55,700 –> 00:19:58,800
\nAnd we can use his name.
\nWe can see the development of <\/p>\n
303
\n00:19:58,800 –> 00:20:01,300
\nthis man’s character through the
\nrecord. <\/p>\n
304
\n00:20:01,300 –> 00:20:06,000
\nBy the way, the Bible uses his
\nname sometimes is called Simon <\/p>\n
305
\n00:20:06,700 –> 00:20:09,900
\nbecause Jesus is trying to tell
\nPeter that he needs to listen. <\/p>\n
306
\n00:20:11,000 –> 00:20:14,200
\nSometimes he’s called Simon
\nPeter because that’s going to be<\/p>\n
307
\n00:20:14,200 –> 00:20:18,000
\na key moment is life where this
\nman starts to grow towards <\/p>\n
308
\n00:20:18,000 –> 00:20:21,200
\ndiscipleship.
\nAnd then eventually he’s going <\/p>\n
309
\n00:20:21,200 –> 00:20:24,400
\nto be called Peter.
\nThe Rock. <\/p>\n
310
\n00:20:25,700 –> 00:20:29,300
\nNow, that process was not going
\nto happen, quickly, like that. <\/p>\n
311
\n00:20:29,300 –> 00:20:34,200
\nYou notice what Jesus says he
\nsays that thou art Simon. <\/p>\n
312
\n00:20:34,200 –> 00:20:37,600
\nSon of Jonah.
\nThou shalt be Peter. <\/p>\n
313
\n00:20:38,700 –> 00:20:41,700
\nYou’re not Peter yet but you
\nwill be Peter. <\/p>\n
314
\n00:20:42,900 –> 00:20:48,100
\nBut you’re going to be taken on
\na process of discipleship to get<\/p>\n
315
\n00:20:48,100 –> 00:20:51,500
\nthere and it’s going to be an
\nup-and-down process and we’re <\/p>\n
316
\n00:20:51,500 –> 00:20:54,300
\ngoing to follow Peter as we go
\nthrough that process sometimes <\/p>\n
317
\n00:20:54,300 –> 00:20:58,100
\nHigh sometimes low, sometimes
\nSimon sometimes Peter. <\/p>\n
318
\n00:20:58,100 –> 00:21:01,800
\nWe’re going to watch that man,
\ngrow through this process of <\/p>\n
319
\n00:21:01,800 –> 00:21:03,000
\ndiscipleship.
\nAnd you know what? <\/p>\n
320
\n00:21:03,000 –> 00:21:06,100
\nThat’s what the cycle ship
\nmeans, disciple, just means a <\/p>\n
321
\n00:21:06,100 –> 00:21:08,900
\nlearner.
\nIt just means someone who’s <\/p>\n
322
\n00:21:09,000 –> 00:21:11,900
\nlearning.
\nAnd that’s what we’re all doing.<\/p>\n
323
\n00:21:11,900 –> 00:21:16,700
\nAt week, we’re all learning my
\nson, Ethan, my oldest son, 16, <\/p>\n
324
\n00:21:16,700 –> 00:21:19,800
\nhe’s a learner, right?
\nBecause he’s learning to drive a<\/p>\n
325
\n00:21:19,800 –> 00:21:23,800
\ncar and sometimes we have good
\nexperiences, right? <\/p>\n
326
\n00:21:23,900 –> 00:21:27,000
\nAnd sometimes we have not so
\ngood experiences, right? <\/p>\n
327
\n00:21:27,700 –> 00:21:31,300
\nBut that’s how we learn.
\nAnd that’s how this Peter was <\/p>\n
328
\n00:21:31,300 –> 00:21:36,200
\ngoing to learn as well, and his
\nlife, brothers and sisters. <\/p>\n
329
\n00:21:37,300 –> 00:21:40,400
\nIs a type for all of us in our
\ndiscipleship. <\/p>\n
330
\n00:21:40,400 –> 00:21:44,100
\nYou’ll notice there that he was
\nbrought to Jesus, he’s the first<\/p>\n
331
\n00:21:44,100 –> 00:21:46,300
\nperson that was brought to
\nJesus. <\/p>\n
332
\n00:21:47,000 –> 00:21:51,600
\nAnd so, he becomes a type of all
\ndisciples who will come to <\/p>\n
333
\n00:21:51,600 –> 00:21:56,200
\nJesus, and we will see the
\nprocess that Jesus will lead him<\/p>\n
334
\n00:21:56,200 –> 00:21:59,100
\nthrough and take him through the
\nups and downs. <\/p>\n
335
\n00:21:59,100 –> 00:22:02,100
\nThe journeys, the things that he
\nneeds to learn other things that<\/p>\n
336
\n00:22:02,100 –> 00:22:05,000
\nwe need to learn.
\nAs disciples. <\/p>\n
337
\n00:22:05,400 –> 00:22:08,600
\nAnd that’s how we grow as
\ndisciples. <\/p>\n
338
\n00:22:09,300 –> 00:22:13,000
\nWe grow like this man does.
\nNow we might think I’m not like <\/p>\n
339
\n00:22:13,000 –> 00:22:16,300
\nPeter, I’m not like an outgoing
\nguy, I’m not someone who’s <\/p>\n
340
\n00:22:16,300 –> 00:22:18,900
\nallowed or Brash.
\nAll I’m going to colorful <\/p>\n
341
\n00:22:18,900 –> 00:22:21,700
\ntongue, right?
\nHow am I going to be relating to<\/p>\n
342
\n00:22:21,800 –> 00:22:25,000
\nbe able to relate to this man,
\nPeter, but God’s chosen, this <\/p>\n
343
\n00:22:25,000 –> 00:22:28,200
\nman, Peter.
\nThis extraordinary character who<\/p>\n
344
\n00:22:28,200 –> 00:22:31,500
\nhas extraordinary things happen
\nto us so that we can see in a <\/p>\n
345
\n00:22:31,500 –> 00:22:34,600
\ngraphic way.
\nHow we learn? <\/p>\n
346
\n00:22:35,700 –> 00:22:37,800
\nAnd hopefully, you can see
\nyourself in that. <\/p>\n
347
\n00:22:38,800 –> 00:22:41,800
\nAnd you can see the ups and
\ndowns that you will go on in <\/p>\n
348
\n00:22:41,800 –> 00:22:45,600
\nlife.
\nTo become a disciple. <\/p>\n
349
\n00:22:46,800 –> 00:22:52,400
\nTo become.
\nStable and firm and that’s what <\/p>\n
350
\n00:22:52,400 –> 00:22:54,500
\nPeter was doing to this man.
\nAnd you know what? <\/p>\n
351
\n00:22:54,500 –> 00:23:00,000
\nJesus and God look out at us all
\nhere tonight in the same way <\/p>\n
352
\n00:23:00,000 –> 00:23:03,200
\nthat they looked into Peters
\neyes and what do they see? <\/p>\n
353
\n00:23:03,200 –> 00:23:07,000
\nThey see great potential.
\nGod knows you. <\/p>\n
354
\n00:23:07,000 –> 00:23:10,300
\nHe knows every one of you.
\nHe’s watched you as you’ve grown<\/p>\n
355
\n00:23:10,300 –> 00:23:13,500
\nfrom a tiny baby.
\nHe knows your name and he knows <\/p>\n
356
\n00:23:13,500 –> 00:23:17,000
\nthe potential that you have to
\nbecome one with him. <\/p>\n
357
\n00:23:18,600 –> 00:23:21,400
\nAnd that’s what he wants to do.
\nHe wants you to take you through<\/p>\n
358
\n00:23:21,400 –> 00:23:25,100
\nthis process of discipleship.
\nNow we’re going to very briefly <\/p>\n
359
\n00:23:25,100 –> 00:23:29,800
\ntonight, look at the calling of
\nthis man, Peter and how he <\/p>\n
360
\n00:23:29,800 –> 00:23:32,500
\nstarted on that journey of
\ndiscipleship. <\/p>\n
361
\n00:23:34,500 –> 00:23:37,700
\nNow, I always thought right
\nbefore I looked at this, that <\/p>\n
362
\n00:23:37,800 –> 00:23:40,900
\nthe disciples just Jesus walked
\npast, he sort of clicked his <\/p>\n
363
\n00:23:40,900 –> 00:23:43,900
\nfingers and suddenly there’s
\nsciples were there. 12 of them? <\/p>\n
364
\n00:23:43,900 –> 00:23:49,100
\nReady to go already Bibles.
\nMark ready to go as disciples? <\/p>\n
365
\n00:23:50,200 –> 00:23:51,600
\nBut that’s actually not what
\nhappened. <\/p>\n
366
\n00:23:53,100 –> 00:23:59,000
\nPaid, I like us went through a
\nprocess to be called to Jesus. <\/p>\n
367
\n00:23:59,700 –> 00:24:01,700
\nAnd you know what?
\nIt took him over a year and <\/p>\n
368
\n00:24:01,700 –> 00:24:05,200
\nthree separate callings that we
\nknow of for this man, to <\/p>\n
369
\n00:24:05,200 –> 00:24:08,400
\nactually commit to Christ.
\nEven to commit to following him,<\/p>\n
370
\n00:24:09,700 –> 00:24:11,000
\nAnd we’re a bit like that,
\naren’t we? <\/p>\n
371
\n00:24:12,500 –> 00:24:15,000
\nIt takes a while for us to and
\nGod wants us to do that. <\/p>\n
372
\n00:24:15,000 –> 00:24:17,800
\nHe wants us to understand him
\nand know him before we <\/p>\n
373
\n00:24:17,800 –> 00:24:21,800
\ncompletely commit to him.
\nSo the first one that we saw of <\/p>\n
374
\n00:24:21,800 –> 00:24:25,500
\nthe first calling Was here,
\nright? <\/p>\n
375
\n00:24:25,500 –> 00:24:29,000
\nHe’s a timeline, right will
\nrefer to this a few times in our<\/p>\n
376
\n00:24:29,000 –> 00:24:32,100
\nstudies together, but here’s a
\ntimeline of the tight life of <\/p>\n
377
\n00:24:32,100 –> 00:24:36,400
\nPeter, the life of the ministry
\nof Jesus and Peter, and it’s <\/p>\n
378
\n00:24:36,400 –> 00:24:37,900
\nthree and a half years.
\nIsn’t it? <\/p>\n
379
\n00:24:37,900 –> 00:24:40,600
\nStarts here at the baptism of
\nJesus, right? <\/p>\n
380
\n00:24:40,600 –> 00:24:44,400
\nWhere these men were introduced
\nto Jesus and it goes 46 around <\/p>\n
381
\n00:24:44,400 –> 00:24:47,400
\nsix months and then there’s
\nthree years of the ministry of <\/p>\n
382
\n00:24:47,400 –> 00:24:50,300
\nChrist.
\nAnd then the pass over here, and<\/p>\n
383
\n00:24:50,300 –> 00:24:53,200
\nthese events here are all the
\nevents recorded in the <\/p>\n
384
\n00:24:53,200 –> 00:24:56,700
\nscripture.
\nThat peda is involved in that or<\/p>\n
385
\n00:24:56,700 –> 00:24:58,900
\ninteracts that we know of,
\nright. <\/p>\n
386
\n00:24:59,200 –> 00:25:04,600
\nAnd you’ll see John one Peters
\nfirst calling is here but it’s a<\/p>\n
387
\n00:25:04,600 –> 00:25:09,600
\nlong time between the next
\ncalling of Peter right between 6<\/p>\n
388
\n00:25:09,600 –> 00:25:12,500
\nto 10 months before Jesus finds
\nthis man. <\/p>\n
389
\n00:25:12,500 –> 00:25:16,600
\nAgain, let’s go to Mark, chapter
\n1, where we find this man, Peter<\/p>\n
390
\n00:25:18,500 –> 00:25:22,500
\nAgain, and what has he been
\ndoing in that period of time <\/p>\n
391
\n00:25:22,500 –> 00:25:24,300
\nwill no doubt?
\nHe’d still been listening to <\/p>\n
392
\n00:25:24,300 –> 00:25:27,400
\nJesus, he would never forgot
\nthat first meeting with him and <\/p>\n
393
\n00:25:27,400 –> 00:25:30,900
\nhe would have continued to
\nlisten and find out about this <\/p>\n
394
\n00:25:30,900 –> 00:25:34,200
\nman.
\nBut in might Mark chapter 1. <\/p>\n
395
\n00:25:34,200 –> 00:25:39,600
\nJesus now comes definitively to
\nPeter, to call him to the next <\/p>\n
396
\n00:25:39,600 –> 00:25:44,500
\nstage of his discipleship stage.
\nOne of our discipleship is a <\/p>\n
397
\n00:25:44,508 –> 00:25:47,300
\nsearching, we’ve got to go out
\nand search for the Lord, and <\/p>\n
398
\n00:25:47,300 –> 00:25:50,900
\nthen the Lord.
\nTo ask as he does in verse 16. <\/p>\n
399
\n00:25:52,700 –> 00:25:55,700
\nAnd this is in Capernaum.
\nRight. <\/p>\n
400
\n00:25:55,800 –> 00:26:00,100
\nSo this is where the most of
\nwhat happens with Peter will go <\/p>\n
401
\n00:26:00,100 –> 00:26:04,700
\non this little area of the Sea
\nof Galilee. <\/p>\n
402
\n00:26:05,100 –> 00:26:08,500
\nAnd here we are at the top in
\nCapernaum and by this stage, <\/p>\n
403
\n00:26:08,700 –> 00:26:13,100
\nJesus is moved from Nazareth.
\nAnd he is now residing in <\/p>\n
404
\n00:26:13,100 –> 00:26:17,300
\nCapernaum and he comes in verse
\n16 to these men. <\/p>\n
405
\n00:26:18,600 –> 00:26:23,000
\nNow, as he walked by the Sea of
\nGalilee, he saw, Simon and <\/p>\n
406
\n00:26:23,000 –> 00:26:27,500
\nAndrew his brother casting.
\nBeing a net into the sea for <\/p>\n
407
\n00:26:27,500 –> 00:26:35,000
\nthey were Fishers.
\nAnd Jesus said unto them, Come <\/p>\n
408
\n00:26:35,000 –> 00:26:39,600
\nYe after me and I will make you
\nto become Fishers of Men. <\/p>\n
409
\n00:26:40,000 –> 00:26:44,700
\nSo Jesus, walks past the Sea of
\nGalilee and he sees this man, <\/p>\n
410
\n00:26:44,700 –> 00:26:47,800
\nPeter, who’s already got some
\nkind of relationship with, and <\/p>\n
411
\n00:26:47,800 –> 00:26:52,900
\nhe goes up to him, and he’s a
\nfisherman and he’s fishing by <\/p>\n
412
\n00:26:53,200 –> 00:26:56,500
\nthe Sea.
\nAnd this is his identity to this<\/p>\n
413
\n00:26:56,500 –> 00:26:59,200
\npoint.
\nHe’s a Fisher, he’s a fisherman.<\/p>\n
414
\n00:27:00,000 –> 00:27:03,700
\nHe had a business card that
\nidentified him as a fisherman <\/p>\n
415
\n00:27:04,700 –> 00:27:08,500
\nand he’s got a pretty successful
\nbusiness going, right? <\/p>\n
416
\n00:27:08,500 –> 00:27:14,200
\nA fishing startup business.
\nWe know that he’s got a partner <\/p>\n
417
\n00:27:14,200 –> 00:27:17,900
\nin Andrew and John and James.
\nThey’re working with him in this<\/p>\n
418
\n00:27:17,900 –> 00:27:21,300
\nbusiness and we also know that
\nthe end of in verse 20 that he’s<\/p>\n
419
\n00:27:21,300 –> 00:27:24,000
\ngot hired servants.
\nSo it’s not a small business. <\/p>\n
420
\n00:27:24,000 –> 00:27:26,000
\nHe’s got other people that he’s
\nworking with. <\/p>\n
421
\n00:27:26,100 –> 00:27:29,000
\nHe’s got Zebedee.
\nWho’s also working him with him <\/p>\n
422
\n00:27:29,000 –> 00:27:30,000
\nin this business?
\nUs. <\/p>\n
423
\n00:27:30,300 –> 00:27:33,300
\nAnd he’s got this growing
\nfishing business and the Sea of <\/p>\n
424
\n00:27:33,300 –> 00:27:38,700
\nGalilee had probably around.
\n200,000, people living around <\/p>\n
425
\n00:27:38,700 –> 00:27:41,800
\nthe Sea of Galilee at that time,
\nit’s a lot of people, right? <\/p>\n
426
\n00:27:42,000 –> 00:27:44,800
\nThat’s a lot of people that
\nneeded fish and Peters business <\/p>\n
427
\n00:27:44,800 –> 00:27:49,900
\nwas growing, as a result of the
\npopulation that lived there. <\/p>\n
428
\n00:27:50,800 –> 00:27:53,500
\nSo he’s probably making good
\nmoney or had potential to make <\/p>\n
429
\n00:27:53,500 –> 00:27:57,900
\ngood money.
\nAnd Peter, Jesus comes to Peter <\/p>\n
430
\n00:27:57,900 –> 00:28:02,300
\nin verse 17 and says, I want you
\nto come after me. <\/p>\n
431
\n00:28:31,100 –> 00:28:33,400
\nNot everyone here.
\nBut most of us here grow up, <\/p>\n
432
\n00:28:33,400 –> 00:28:37,200
\ndon’t we hearing about the
\nmessage and knowing about it in <\/p>\n
433
\n00:28:37,208 –> 00:28:41,400
\nSunday school, but there will
\ncome a point in time as their <\/p>\n
434
\n00:28:41,400 –> 00:28:45,100
\ncame here for Peter where Jesus
\ncomes to him and says I need you<\/p>\n
435
\n00:28:45,100 –> 00:28:46,800
\nto get more serious about this
\nPeter. <\/p>\n
436
\n00:28:48,700 –> 00:28:50,500
\nAnd I need you to stop to follow
\nme. <\/p>\n
437
\n00:28:52,200 –> 00:28:57,700
\nTo actually begin your journey
\nwith me and what I want you to <\/p>\n
438
\n00:28:57,700 –> 00:29:00,000
\nbe verse 17.
\nHe says he had, I’ve got a <\/p>\n
439
\n00:29:00,000 –> 00:29:03,700
\nspecific Purpose with you.
\nHe says, I want you to become <\/p>\n
440
\n00:29:04,100 –> 00:29:09,000
\nFishers of Men.
\nSo, my purpose with you is a <\/p>\n
441
\n00:29:09,008 –> 00:29:11,900
\ncompletely different identity to
\nyour current identity. <\/p>\n
442
\n00:29:11,900 –> 00:29:15,800
\nYour current identity is a
\nfisherman, your career, dictates<\/p>\n
443
\n00:29:15,800 –> 00:29:18,500
\nwhat you’re going to do, but I
\nwant something different for <\/p>\n
444
\n00:29:18,500 –> 00:29:21,700
\nyou.
\nI’ve got a separate purpose for <\/p>\n
445
\n00:29:21,700 –> 00:29:24,800
\nyou.
\nI no longer want your identity, <\/p>\n
446
\n00:29:24,800 –> 00:29:29,500
\nyour identity to be your job or
\nyour family, or your town, but I<\/p>\n
447
\n00:29:29,500 –> 00:29:31,200
\nwant you to start working for
\nme. <\/p>\n
448
\n00:29:32,200 –> 00:29:35,400
\nAnd I want you to be a fisher of
\nmen. <\/p>\n
449
\n00:29:36,500 –> 00:29:39,600
\nTo pass on the message to other
\npeople. <\/p>\n
450
\n00:29:40,100 –> 00:29:43,500
\nAnd this is ultimately where
\nJesus wants these men to get to.<\/p>\n
451
\n00:29:43,800 –> 00:29:47,000
\nHe wants them to become Fishers
\nof Men. <\/p>\n
452
\n00:29:48,200 –> 00:29:57,200
\nHe is a verse from the very end
\nof Matthew We’re here Jesus says<\/p>\n
453
\n00:29:57,200 –> 00:30:00,300
\nto the disciples at the very end
\nof their discipleship. <\/p>\n
454
\n00:30:00,300 –> 00:30:04,300
\nWhat they needed to go and do
\nand he says go therefore and <\/p>\n
455
\n00:30:04,300 –> 00:30:08,100
\nMake Disciples of all Nations,
\nbaptizing them in the name of <\/p>\n
456
\n00:30:08,100 –> 00:30:12,000
\nthe father, and the Son, and the
\nHoly Spirit, teaching them to <\/p>\n
457
\n00:30:12,300 –> 00:30:15,600
\nobserve all that.
\nI have commanded you. <\/p>\n
458
\n00:30:16,400 –> 00:30:20,700
\nSo that’s the purpose, the
\nendpoint in which Jesus was <\/p>\n
459
\n00:30:20,700 –> 00:30:24,800
\nbringing these men to be Fishers
\nof Men and their word. <\/p>\n
460
\n00:30:25,000 –> 00:30:29,100
\nTransferable skills from what
\nthey had from their fishing, <\/p>\n
461
\n00:30:29,100 –> 00:30:32,100
\nlife to their life of
\ndiscipleship. <\/p>\n
462
\n00:30:32,400 –> 00:30:36,400
\nAnd the ultimate life of fishing
\nfor men, you’ll notice there in <\/p>\n
463
\n00:30:36,400 –> 00:30:42,200
\nverse 16 and then that down in
\nverse 19, that there’s two <\/p>\n
464
\n00:30:42,200 –> 00:30:46,200
\nessential activities that are
\nfishermen is involved in. <\/p>\n
465
\n00:30:46,900 –> 00:30:51,400
\nHe’s involved in catching fish,
\nwhich is casting in there. <\/p>\n
466
\n00:30:52,300 –> 00:30:55,800
\nAnd he’s involved in mending
\nNets and that is all about <\/p>\n
467
\n00:30:56,100 –> 00:30:59,400
\nmaking sure when he catches them
\nthat he keeps them. <\/p>\n
468
\n00:30:59,900 –> 00:31:02,100
\nRight.
\nThat’s the to thing that a <\/p>\n
469
\n00:31:02,100 –> 00:31:04,900
\nfisherman.
\nDoes he catches fish and he <\/p>\n
470
\n00:31:04,900 –> 00:31:08,100
\nkeeps fish.
\nI remember when I first went out<\/p>\n
471
\n00:31:08,100 –> 00:31:13,500
\nfishing with East, right?
\nWe caught and like, it was out <\/p>\n
472
\n00:31:13,500 –> 00:31:17,200
\nof the blue, completely amazing.
\nWe caught this a massive amazing<\/p>\n
473
\n00:31:17,200 –> 00:31:20,800
\nfish, it would no no joke.
\nIt was like this big, right? <\/p>\n
474
\n00:31:21,700 –> 00:31:26,300
\nBut all we had there was like a
\nbucket that was this big to hold<\/p>\n
475
\n00:31:26,300 –> 00:31:28,200
\nit in.
\nWe didn’t expect that we were <\/p>\n
476
\n00:31:28,200 –> 00:31:31,700
\ngoing to catch anything like
\nthis and we caught this enormous<\/p>\n
477
\n00:31:31,700 –> 00:31:35,200
\nfish and we tried to put it in
\nthe bucket and the fish jumped <\/p>\n
478
\n00:31:35,200 –> 00:31:37,300
\nout of the bucket.
\nI remember me and eat both <\/p>\n
479
\n00:31:37,300 –> 00:31:40,600
\nholding on to that fish.
\nAs the fish went out of their <\/p>\n
480
\n00:31:40,600 –> 00:31:45,600
\nheads into the water gone
\nbecause we didn’t have a net to <\/p>\n
481
\n00:31:45,600 –> 00:31:49,600
\nkeep it in.
\nBecause it was gone and we went <\/p>\n
482
\n00:31:49,600 –> 00:31:51,400
\nback to the and said you’re
\nnever going to believe it and <\/p>\n
483
\n00:31:51,400 –> 00:31:54,400
\nshe never believed it, right?
\nShe never believed it. <\/p>\n
484
\n00:31:55,800 –> 00:31:59,600
\nBut that’s what fishing involves
\ninvolves catching fish and <\/p>\n
485
\n00:31:59,600 –> 00:32:02,300
\nkeeping fish.
\nAnd that’s what Jesus was going <\/p>\n
486
\n00:32:02,300 –> 00:32:06,400
\nto teach these fishermen about
\nfishing for men and we’re going <\/p>\n
487
\n00:32:06,400 –> 00:32:09,700
\nto see that as he goes on, Jesus
\nis going to teach these men, how<\/p>\n
488
\n00:32:09,700 –> 00:32:13,500
\nto catch men.
\nAnd then once he’s caught, those<\/p>\n
489
\n00:32:13,500 –> 00:32:18,100
\nmen had to look after them in
\nthe meeting, two important parts<\/p>\n
490
\n00:32:18,100 –> 00:32:21,500
\nof discipleship that we’re going
\nto be taught to Peter. <\/p>\n
491
\n00:32:21,900 –> 00:32:26,200
\nNow, Peter after answering this
\ncall verse It says and <\/p>\n
492
\n00:32:26,200 –> 00:32:30,000
\nstraightway he forsook his Nets
\nand followed him. <\/p>\n
493
\n00:32:31,000 –> 00:32:36,700
\nHe followed after Jesus and left
\nhis Nets behind the word, <\/p>\n
494
\n00:32:36,700 –> 00:32:41,500
\nforsook means to let go.
\nAnd the Nets, there are a symbol<\/p>\n
495
\n00:32:41,500 –> 00:32:45,100
\nof his old identity, which he
\nnow for sakes. <\/p>\n
496
\n00:32:46,900 –> 00:32:52,900
\nAnd he begins to follow Jesus
\nmore seriously, but that proved <\/p>\n
497
\n00:32:53,100 –> 00:32:55,600
\nto be a struggle for Peter.
\nIt was, it was tough. <\/p>\n
498
\n00:32:56,000 –> 00:33:03,000
\nLook at verse 29.
\nWe find in verse 29 that after <\/p>\n
499
\n00:33:03,500 –> 00:33:06,700
\nPeter has now begun to follow
\nafter Jesus. <\/p>\n
500
\n00:33:07,900 –> 00:33:12,400
\nThat perhaps in verse 29, what
\nhappens is that Pete? <\/p>\n
501
\n00:33:12,400 –> 00:33:16,800
\nJesus moves in with Peter It
\nsays in fourth with when they <\/p>\n
502
\n00:33:16,800 –> 00:33:20,100
\nwere come out of the synagogue,
\nthey entered into the house of <\/p>\n
503
\n00:33:20,100 –> 00:33:25,400
\nSimon and Andrew with James and
\nJohn and Simon’s wife’s mother <\/p>\n
504
\n00:33:25,400 –> 00:33:29,200
\nlay sick of a fever and a non,
\nthey tell her off him. <\/p>\n
505
\n00:33:29,200 –> 00:33:33,700
\nSo Jesus, perhaps comes to live
\nwith Peter here and he heals her<\/p>\n
506
\n00:33:33,700 –> 00:33:38,900
\nhis mother-in-law and Peter has
\na home, doesn’t he? <\/p>\n
507
\n00:33:40,100 –> 00:33:42,100
\nAnd it seems he that he’s
\ndefinitely going to wife. <\/p>\n
508
\n00:33:43,300 –> 00:33:47,200
\nAnd he perhaps had kids and he’s
\nalso got his mother-in-law <\/p>\n
509
\n00:33:47,200 –> 00:33:50,300
\nliving with him.
\nSo he’s got a busy family that <\/p>\n
510
\n00:33:50,300 –> 00:33:54,300
\nhe now lives him and now he’s
\ngot he’s got the large <\/p>\n
511
\n00:33:54,300 –> 00:33:57,500
\nresponsibility of that house and
\nlooking after all those mouths <\/p>\n
512
\n00:33:57,500 –> 00:34:01,500
\nthat need feeding and he’s
\njuggling that now with following<\/p>\n
513
\n00:34:01,500 –> 00:34:05,600
\nafter Jesus and the demands that
\nthat is bringing upon his life <\/p>\n
514
\n00:34:06,200 –> 00:34:10,400
\nand Jesus the popularity of
\nJesus is growing enormously, and<\/p>\n
515
\n00:34:10,400 –> 00:34:13,000
\nwhat happens is Jesus says to
\nthe disciples. <\/p>\n
516
\n00:34:13,199 –> 00:34:15,500
\nWe need you to go, I need you to
\ncome with me. <\/p>\n
517
\n00:34:15,699 –> 00:34:20,199
\nWe’re going on to the next town.
\nAnd verse 36 says, and Simon and<\/p>\n
518
\n00:34:20,199 –> 00:34:24,600
\nthey that were with him,
\nfollowed after him and when they<\/p>\n
519
\n00:34:24,600 –> 00:34:26,500
\nhad found him they said unto
\nhim. <\/p>\n
520
\n00:34:26,699 –> 00:34:32,000
\nAll men are seeking after you
\npaid out stops Jesus and says <\/p>\n
521
\n00:34:32,100 –> 00:34:34,800
\nJesus, you can’t go marks record
\nsays that. <\/p>\n
522
\n00:34:34,808 –> 00:34:37,500
\nHe says I don’t want you to
\ndepart can’t you stay here with <\/p>\n
523
\n00:34:37,500 –> 00:34:40,000
\nus in Capernaum.
\nDo we really need to go on to <\/p>\n
524
\n00:34:40,000 –> 00:34:45,800
\nthe next town and verse 38?
\nIs this and he said unto them. <\/p>\n
525
\n00:34:46,800 –> 00:34:51,000
\nLet us go into the next towns
\nthat I may preach there. <\/p>\n
526
\n00:34:51,000 –> 00:34:56,300
\nAlso for therefore came I for
\ntherefore came I forth. <\/p>\n
527
\n00:34:57,100 –> 00:35:01,400
\nSo Jesus says to these disciples
\nand to Peter I need you to come <\/p>\n
528
\n00:35:01,400 –> 00:35:04,200
\nwith me.
\nThat’s why I’ve called you. <\/p>\n
529
\n00:35:05,100 –> 00:35:07,400
\nI need you to come with me to
\nthe next town. <\/p>\n
530
\n00:35:08,800 –> 00:35:12,400
\nBut verse 39 says that he
\npreached in their synagogues <\/p>\n
531
\n00:35:12,400 –> 00:35:17,400
\ntherefore all Galilean, cast out
\nDevils so Peter didn’t go with <\/p>\n
532
\n00:35:17,400 –> 00:35:20,000
\nhim.
\nBecause he had too much <\/p>\n
533
\n00:35:20,000 –> 00:35:23,900
\nresponsibility at home, and he
\ncouldn’t leave and follow after <\/p>\n
534
\n00:35:23,900 –> 00:35:27,400
\nand continue to follow after
\nJesus to the next towns. <\/p>\n
535
\n00:35:27,800 –> 00:35:33,300
\nSo, G Peter is is juggling his
\npersonal responsibilities of his<\/p>\n
536
\n00:35:33,300 –> 00:35:36,600
\nhome life with now, following
\nafter Jesus. <\/p>\n
537
\n00:35:37,500 –> 00:35:40,800
\nAnd then finally, we come to the
\nlast calling of Peter, in Luke <\/p>\n
538
\n00:35:40,800 –> 00:35:42,900
\nChapter 5.
\nLet’s come there now, <\/p>\n
539
\n00:36:04,000 –> 00:36:09,200
\nLuke chapter 5 verse 1 says, and
\nit came to pass that. <\/p>\n
540
\n00:36:09,200 –> 00:36:13,000
\nAs the people pressed upon him
\nto hear the word of God, he <\/p>\n
541
\n00:36:13,000 –> 00:36:17,200
\nstood by the lake of Janessa it.
\nHere’s our timeline again. <\/p>\n
542
\n00:36:18,600 –> 00:36:22,500
\nPeter’s second calling.
\nAnd then Pete, Jesus comes <\/p>\n
543
\n00:36:22,500 –> 00:36:25,300
\nprobably to live with Jesus in
\nCapernaum. <\/p>\n
544
\n00:36:26,000 –> 00:36:30,800
\nAnd then Jesus leaves Peter in
\nCapernaum and goes preaching <\/p>\n
545
\n00:36:30,800 –> 00:36:36,900
\nthrough the next towns and then
\nhe returns to an area just near <\/p>\n
546
\n00:36:36,900 –> 00:36:41,000
\nCapernaum and that’s where he
\ngives The Sermon on the Mount. <\/p>\n
547
\n00:36:41,800 –> 00:36:46,300
\nAnd he’s just given The Sermon
\non the Mount just before Peters,<\/p>\n
548
\n00:36:46,500 –> 00:36:48,300
\nthird calling.
\nAnd that’s of course, one of the<\/p>\n
549
\n00:36:48,300 –> 00:36:51,700
\nmost Famous sermons or speeches
\nabout Jesus ever gave. <\/p>\n
550
\n00:36:52,100 –> 00:36:56,000
\nAnd then after that he preached,
\nit comes here to call Peter for <\/p>\n
551
\n00:36:56,000 –> 00:36:59,400
\nthe third time.
\nAnd it says there, that in verse<\/p>\n
552
\n00:36:59,400 –> 00:37:02,900
\none, people were pressing Upon
\nJesus to hear the word of God. <\/p>\n
553
\n00:37:03,000 –> 00:37:06,300
\nAnd that’s probably because he’s
\njust given this amazing sermon <\/p>\n
554
\n00:37:06,300 –> 00:37:10,000
\nabout discipleship and people
\nwanted to know what he had to <\/p>\n
555
\n00:37:10,000 –> 00:37:12,700
\nsay and they were pressing upon
\nhim. <\/p>\n
556
\n00:37:14,300 –> 00:37:19,400
\nBut Peter wasn’t listening.
\nPeter was preoccupied and look <\/p>\n
557
\n00:37:19,400 –> 00:37:24,100
\nwhat we find him in verse 2.
\nIt says and he saw two ships <\/p>\n
558
\n00:37:24,100 –> 00:37:27,900
\nstanding by the lake but the
\nfishermen were gone out of them <\/p>\n
559
\n00:37:28,300 –> 00:37:30,300
\nand they were washing their
\nNets. <\/p>\n
560
\n00:37:31,200 –> 00:37:36,300
\nSo we find Peter here after he’s
\nbeen called, he’s gone back to <\/p>\n
561
\n00:37:36,300 –> 00:37:40,700
\nhis fishing nets.
\nAnd he’s back being a fisherman.<\/p>\n
562
\n00:37:40,700 –> 00:37:44,100
\nNow.
\nAnd he’s no longer following <\/p>\n
563
\n00:37:44,400 –> 00:37:49,400
\nafter Christ.
\nHe’s returned to his old way of <\/p>\n
564
\n00:37:49,400 –> 00:37:53,400
\nlife.
\nAnd he’s washing the Nets. <\/p>\n
565
\n00:37:54,400 –> 00:37:58,200
\nNow, if you washing the Nets,
\nyou’ve used the Nets. <\/p>\n
566
\n00:37:59,200 –> 00:38:01,100
\nAnd you planning to use the Nets
\nagain. <\/p>\n
567
\n00:38:02,400 –> 00:38:06,800
\nAnd Peter was Fallen back into
\nhis old life. <\/p>\n
568
\n00:38:08,400 –> 00:38:12,300
\nThose things are taken a
\npriority over his life again. <\/p>\n
569
\n00:38:13,400 –> 00:38:19,100
\nAnd I squeezed out, Jesus.
\nFrom what he was doing. <\/p>\n
570
\n00:38:20,000 –> 00:38:22,700
\nTo the point now where he’s not
\neven listening to Jesus. <\/p>\n
571
\n00:38:22,700 –> 00:38:25,400
\nYou’ve got this huge crowd of
\npeople that are excited about <\/p>\n
572
\n00:38:25,400 –> 00:38:29,500
\nwhat Jesus is saying, and Peter
\nis completely preoccupied with <\/p>\n
573
\n00:38:29,500 –> 00:38:31,400
\nthe job that he’s doing of
\nfishing. <\/p>\n
574
\n00:38:32,600 –> 00:38:35,600
\nAnd don’t brothers and sisters.
\nWe all struggle with this. <\/p>\n
575
\n00:38:36,900 –> 00:38:41,500
\nWe struggle with the commitments
\nand responsibilities and <\/p>\n
576
\n00:38:41,500 –> 00:38:45,100
\nactivities that we have in life
\nthat come upon us. <\/p>\n
577
\n00:38:46,100 –> 00:38:48,500
\nAnd all of us are busy with all
\nsorts of different things. <\/p>\n
578
\n00:38:48,500 –> 00:38:53,400
\nAll sorts of priorities, like
\nschool and career, and family, <\/p>\n
579
\n00:38:53,600 –> 00:38:57,200
\nand our jobs, and all sorts of
\nlittle things that come into our<\/p>\n
580
\n00:38:57,200 –> 00:38:59,600
\nlife and often, what can happen
\nis those things. <\/p>\n
581
\n00:38:59,600 –> 00:39:04,300
\nLike with Peter have crept right
\ninto his life now until he can’t<\/p>\n
582
\n00:39:04,300 –> 00:39:10,300
\neven listen to Jesus Anymore.
\nAnd Jesus needs to teach him a <\/p>\n
583
\n00:39:10,308 –> 00:39:14,700
\nlesson because what he needs
\nPeter to do is he needs Peter to<\/p>\n
584
\n00:39:14,700 –> 00:39:18,800
\nmake this calling his number one
\npurpose in life. <\/p>\n
585
\n00:39:19,800 –> 00:39:24,600
\nAnd at the moment God is just
\none thing in this whole list of <\/p>\n
586
\n00:39:24,600 –> 00:39:28,500
\ndifferent things that he has
\ngoing on his life. and Jesus <\/p>\n
587
\n00:39:28,500 –> 00:39:33,200
\nwants him to put it, number one,
\nAnd so in verse 3, it says and <\/p>\n
588
\n00:39:33,200 –> 00:39:37,700
\nJesus entered into his boat.
\nSee, Jesus keeps getting closer <\/p>\n
589
\n00:39:37,700 –> 00:39:41,500
\nto this man Peter and now it
\nsays he entered right into <\/p>\n
590
\n00:39:41,700 –> 00:39:47,400
\nSimon’s ship.
\nAnd he’s going to teach this <\/p>\n
591
\n00:39:47,400 –> 00:39:52,400
\nman.
\nA lesson about priorities in his<\/p>\n
592
\n00:39:52,400 –> 00:39:55,500
\nlife.
\nWhere his priorities should be. <\/p>\n
593
\n00:39:59,300 –> 00:40:02,300
\nAnd Jesus might do that one day
\nfor us in our life. <\/p>\n
594
\n00:40:03,500 –> 00:40:09,000
\nHe might come to teach us a
\nlesson about priorities and it <\/p>\n
595
\n00:40:09,000 –> 00:40:12,100
\nmight be an inconvenient lesson
\nlike it was here for Peter. <\/p>\n
596
\n00:40:13,300 –> 00:40:20,600
\nI remember for myself when I was
\n18 years old, God came and <\/p>\n
597
\n00:40:20,600 –> 00:40:22,500
\ntaught me a lesson about
\npriorities. <\/p>\n
598
\n00:40:25,500 –> 00:40:27,700
\nI was probably similar age to a
\nlot of you here. <\/p>\n
599
\n00:40:28,900 –> 00:40:31,700
\nAnd I remember, I just finished
\nschool. <\/p>\n
600
\n00:40:33,000 –> 00:40:36,100
\nAnd I had all these plans about
\nwhat I wanted to do with my <\/p>\n
601
\n00:40:36,100 –> 00:40:38,200
\nlife.
\nI’d got into University and I <\/p>\n
602
\n00:40:38,400 –> 00:40:41,500
\nhad planned and I got into the
\nuniversity wanted to get into <\/p>\n
603
\n00:40:41,500 –> 00:40:43,600
\nand I had all the plans about
\nwhat I was going to do with <\/p>\n
604
\n00:40:43,600 –> 00:40:46,800
\nthat.
\nAnd I had plans about what I <\/p>\n
605
\n00:40:46,808 –> 00:40:49,900
\nwant to do with my friends and I
\nhad plans about a girl. <\/p>\n
606
\n00:40:51,500 –> 00:40:57,600
\nAnd that girl lived in Adelaide.
\nand so, when I finish school, I <\/p>\n
607
\n00:40:57,600 –> 00:41:01,900
\ncame straight across to Adelaide
\nwith the intention of getting <\/p>\n
608
\n00:41:01,900 –> 00:41:06,200
\nthat girl and then getting my,
\nyou need of each degree and <\/p>\n
609
\n00:41:06,200 –> 00:41:08,100
\ngetting my course and doing
\nwhatever I wanted to. <\/p>\n
610
\n00:41:09,500 –> 00:41:14,500
\nBut when I came over here, when
\nI was 18, From Melbourne. <\/p>\n
611
\n00:41:16,900 –> 00:41:21,300
\nIt didn’t work out with a girl.
\nShe wasn’t interested for <\/p>\n
612
\n00:41:21,500 –> 00:41:26,800
\nwhatever reason.
\nAnd I remember after that, we <\/p>\n
613
\n00:41:26,800 –> 00:41:29,800
\nwent out like I was here with a
\ncouple of friends and the next <\/p>\n
614
\n00:41:29,800 –> 00:41:33,500
\nday they said, oh, let’s let’s
\ngo and do something and, you <\/p>\n
615
\n00:41:33,500 –> 00:41:36,500
\nknow, forget about forget about
\nthe girl and just move on with <\/p>\n
616
\n00:41:36,500 –> 00:41:38,400
\nlife and we went down to Victor
\nHarbor. <\/p>\n
617
\n00:41:39,900 –> 00:41:42,300
\nAnd when we were down there, we
\nused to be able to hire these <\/p>\n
618
\n00:41:42,300 –> 00:41:46,800
\nlittle nifty 50 motorbikes,
\nright and we thought let’s just <\/p>\n
619
\n00:41:46,800 –> 00:41:48,700
\nhire these little motorbikes for
\nthe day. <\/p>\n
620
\n00:41:49,100 –> 00:41:52,800
\nI say we hide these motorbikes
\nand we took them around <\/p>\n
621
\n00:41:52,800 –> 00:41:56,800
\neverywhere all across Victor
\nHarbor and we burned across all <\/p>\n
622
\n00:41:56,800 –> 00:41:58,800
\nthese different things.
\nAnd we went to his car partners,<\/p>\n
623
\n00:41:58,800 –> 00:42:01,100
\ngravel car park and we’re in the
\ncar park. <\/p>\n
624
\n00:42:01,100 –> 00:42:04,000
\nNot doing probably good things
\nwith the little nifty 50 bikes. <\/p>\n
625
\n00:42:04,000 –> 00:42:07,200
\nJust right.
\nYou know, in the gravel and I <\/p>\n
626
\n00:42:07,200 –> 00:42:10,700
\nwas on one of these bikes and I
\nwas going fast on the gravel and<\/p>\n
627
\n00:42:10,700 –> 00:42:14,900
\nI came out of that car park on
\nthe gravel and I came out onto <\/p>\n
628
\n00:42:14,900 –> 00:42:19,400
\nthe bitumen Road and as I came
\nout onto the bitumen Road, Down <\/p>\n
629
\n00:42:19,400 –> 00:42:21,600
\nwas coming.
\nI fell off the bike. <\/p>\n
630
\n00:42:22,800 –> 00:42:25,900
\nAnd the bike went down onto the
\nground and I was with it sliding<\/p>\n
631
\n00:42:25,900 –> 00:42:29,000
\non the ground.
\nAnd a car came around the <\/p>\n
632
\n00:42:29,000 –> 00:42:33,000
\ncorner.
\nAnd the car went right over the <\/p>\n
633
\n00:42:33,000 –> 00:42:40,300
\ntop of my bike.
\nAnd destroyed the bike. and <\/p>\n
634
\n00:42:40,300 –> 00:42:46,600
\nluckily, I was thrown clear.
\nAnd I wasn’t hurt. <\/p>\n
635
\n00:42:49,800 –> 00:42:54,000
\nAnd I rushed from that moment
\nall the way I it was my bus was <\/p>\n
636
\n00:42:54,000 –> 00:42:57,600
\nleaving that night and I rushed
\nfrom that place and I had blood <\/p>\n
637
\n00:42:57,600 –> 00:43:00,800
\nall down my knees and I rushed
\nrushed into the bus and I got <\/p>\n
638
\n00:43:00,800 –> 00:43:03,600
\ninto the bus and I was dirt
\ngoing home in the bus. <\/p>\n
639
\n00:43:05,100 –> 00:43:07,200
\nThinking about all the things
\nthat happened that weekend. <\/p>\n
640
\n00:43:10,800 –> 00:43:12,400
\nEverything had gone completely
\nwrong. <\/p>\n
641
\n00:43:16,000 –> 00:43:18,200
\nAnd I had all these plans about
\nwhat I was going to do and where<\/p>\n
642
\n00:43:18,200 –> 00:43:22,400
\nI was going to go.
\nAnd none of it happened. <\/p>\n
643
\n00:43:24,900 –> 00:43:29,600
\nBut the next couple of months.
\nI ended up doing something that <\/p>\n
644
\n00:43:29,600 –> 00:43:34,100
\nI never thought that I would do.
\nAnd I went to someone said to <\/p>\n
645
\n00:43:34,100 –> 00:43:36,000
\nme, one of my friends said, why
\ndon’t you come to school of <\/p>\n
646
\n00:43:36,008 –> 00:43:39,600
\nprophets and Adelaide?
\nAnd I went to the school of <\/p>\n
647
\n00:43:39,600 –> 00:43:43,800
\nprophets in Adelaide.
\nAnd I loved it. <\/p>\n
648
\n00:43:45,900 –> 00:43:52,700
\nAnd it changed my life.
\nAnd say, God taught me a lesson <\/p>\n
649
\n00:43:52,700 –> 00:43:56,000
\nabout priorities.
\nAnd a few months, six months <\/p>\n
650
\n00:43:56,000 –> 00:43:58,700
\nlater.
\nI was baptized after that. <\/p>\n
651
\n00:44:00,800 –> 00:44:03,500
\nAnd it completely probably
\nchanged the immediate course of <\/p>\n
652
\n00:44:03,500 –> 00:44:07,900
\nmy life.
\nAnd Jesus here is going to come <\/p>\n
653
\n00:44:07,900 –> 00:44:13,600
\nand teach Peter finally in here
\na lesson about priorities and he<\/p>\n
654
\n00:44:13,600 –> 00:44:16,600
\ndoes it by coming and stepping
\ninto Peters ship. <\/p>\n
655
\n00:44:20,200 –> 00:44:22,700
\nAnd he says to him there in
\nverse 4. <\/p>\n
656
\n00:44:23,700 –> 00:44:28,000
\nNow when he had left speaking he
\nsaid unto Simon launch out into <\/p>\n
657
\n00:44:28,000 –> 00:44:31,300
\nthe deep and let down your nets
\nfor the dry up. <\/p>\n
658
\n00:44:32,200 –> 00:44:36,100
\nSo first of all, he commandeered
\nPeters ship and he went out into<\/p>\n
659
\n00:44:36,100 –> 00:44:40,800
\nthe deep and he taught the
\npeople and Peter sat there in <\/p>\n
660
\n00:44:40,800 –> 00:44:43,500
\nthe boat and he had no choice.
\nBut to listen, did he? <\/p>\n
661
\n00:44:43,500 –> 00:44:46,000
\nHe had no choice but to listen
\nto Jesus. <\/p>\n
662
\n00:44:46,000 –> 00:44:50,200
\nAnd perhaps Jesus was going over
\nsome of those things that he <\/p>\n
663
\n00:44:50,200 –> 00:44:51,800
\ntaught in The Sermon on the
\nMount. <\/p>\n
664
\n00:44:51,800 –> 00:44:56,400
\nAnd then once he taught them he
\nsaid to Peter, Peter I want you <\/p>\n
665
\n00:44:56,400 –> 00:45:01,000
\nto go and take your ship out
\ninto the deep and catch fish. <\/p>\n
666
\n00:45:01,000 –> 00:45:04,800
\nNow look what Peter says Verse 5
\nand Simon answering said unto <\/p>\n
667
\n00:45:04,800 –> 00:45:07,000
\nhim Master.
\nWe’ve toiled all night, we’ve <\/p>\n
668
\n00:45:07,000 –> 00:45:11,500
\nbeen out fishing all night and
\nwe’ve caught nothing. <\/p>\n
669
\n00:45:12,200 –> 00:45:15,200
\nAnd you want us to go out there
\nagain and fish. <\/p>\n
670
\n00:45:15,900 –> 00:45:19,400
\nPeter probably roll his eyes and
\nhe looked at this man, Jesus! <\/p>\n
671
\n00:45:19,400 –> 00:45:23,000
\nHe respected this man.
\nAnd Jesus is a teacher, but I’m <\/p>\n
672
\n00:45:23,000 –> 00:45:24,700
\nthe fisherman.
\nI’m the one that knows about <\/p>\n
673
\n00:45:24,700 –> 00:45:27,700
\nfishing and I’ve been fishing
\nall night and we’ve caught <\/p>\n
674
\n00:45:27,700 –> 00:45:31,500
\nnothing.
\nHe was skeptical of the outcome <\/p>\n
675
\n00:45:32,400 –> 00:45:36,000
\nand he’d been toiling all night.
\nAnd this is half of Jupiter’s <\/p>\n
676
\n00:45:36,000 –> 00:45:38,200
\nproblem.
\nPeters problem was he was trying<\/p>\n
677
\n00:45:38,200 –> 00:45:41,400
\nto do everything.
\nHe was trying to work and do <\/p>\n
678
\n00:45:41,400 –> 00:45:43,300
\neverything at night.
\nAnd then he was trying to listen<\/p>\n
679
\n00:45:43,300 –> 00:45:46,600
\nto Jesus during the day and he
\ncouldn’t do everything. <\/p>\n
680
\n00:45:46,600 –> 00:45:48,600
\nAnd you know what?
\nJesus had just been talking <\/p>\n
681
\n00:45:48,600 –> 00:45:52,400
\nabout this very thing in The
\nSermon on the Mount, Jesus <\/p>\n
682
\n00:45:52,400 –> 00:45:54,800
\ntaught in The Sermon on the
\nMount that you can’t turn to <\/p>\n
683
\n00:45:54,800 –> 00:45:59,900
\nserve two masters.
\nYou can only serve one, you must<\/p>\n
684
\n00:45:59,900 –> 00:46:04,100
\nprioritize Peter who you’re
\ngoing to serve number two. <\/p>\n
685
\n00:46:04,100 –> 00:46:09,500
\nHe says, I want you to take no
\nthought for tomorrow and he was <\/p>\n
686
\n00:46:09,500 –> 00:46:15,300
\nsaying, I don’t want you to use
\nall your energy in life. to look<\/p>\n
687
\n00:46:15,300 –> 00:46:20,700
\nafter temporary things that you
\nhave in life, And then he said, <\/p>\n
688
\n00:46:20,700 –> 00:46:22,700
\nI want you to consider the
\nlilies. <\/p>\n
689
\n00:46:23,800 –> 00:46:27,900
\nThey’re beautiful and they’re
\nnot out toiling every day. <\/p>\n
690
\n00:46:29,800 –> 00:46:34,300
\nBut God looks after them and
\nthen he summarized his see, this<\/p>\n
691
\n00:46:34,300 –> 00:46:35,600
\nsection on The Sermon, on the
\nMount. <\/p>\n
692
\n00:46:35,600 –> 00:46:40,300
\nBy saying this, I want you to
\nseek first, the kingdom of God, <\/p>\n
693
\n00:46:40,700 –> 00:46:45,300
\nand all these things will be
\nadded unto you if you make the <\/p>\n
694
\n00:46:45,300 –> 00:46:48,000
\nkingdom of God and God in your
\nlife. <\/p>\n
695
\n00:46:48,000 –> 00:46:51,300
\nThe number one priority, then
\nall the other things that you <\/p>\n
696
\n00:46:51,300 –> 00:46:56,900
\nhave in life that you worried
\nabout, I will look after That’s <\/p>\n
697
\n00:46:56,900 –> 00:47:01,700
\nwhat Jesus said to Peter, Peter,
\nI need you to make my calling <\/p>\n
698
\n00:47:01,700 –> 00:47:05,900
\nand you’re calling the number
\none, priority above all else in <\/p>\n
699
\n00:47:05,900 –> 00:47:10,200
\nyour life.
\nAnd if you do that, I will take <\/p>\n
700
\n00:47:10,200 –> 00:47:12,400
\ncare of the rest of these
\nthings. <\/p>\n
701
\n00:47:12,400 –> 00:47:16,600
\nNow, Peter struggle with that
\nbecause Peter thought look, I’m <\/p>\n
702
\n00:47:16,600 –> 00:47:19,100
\nimpressed Jesus with your
\nteaching and everything you’ve <\/p>\n
703
\n00:47:19,100 –> 00:47:24,600
\ngot to say, but do you really
\nhave power over all else in <\/p>\n
704
\n00:47:24,600 –> 00:47:27,400
\nlife?
\nDo you have power over fish and <\/p>\n
705
\n00:47:27,400 –> 00:47:31,000
\nall these other responsibilities
\nthat I have in my life? <\/p>\n
706
\n00:47:32,200 –> 00:47:37,500
\nAnd Jesus says, I do.
\nAnd he teaches Peter a lesson <\/p>\n
707
\n00:47:37,500 –> 00:47:40,200
\nhere.
\nHe says, in verse 5, <\/p>\n
708
\n00:47:40,600 –> 00:47:44,800
\nnevertheless at Thy word, I will
\nlet down my net. <\/p>\n
709
\n00:47:44,800 –> 00:47:48,600
\nSo, Peter says, look, I don’t
\nknow whether I can’t see what <\/p>\n
710
\n00:47:48,600 –> 00:47:53,500
\nhow it’s going to happen, but he
\nreluctantly agrees and then <\/p>\n
711
\n00:47:53,500 –> 00:47:58,200
\nverse 6, it says.
\nAnd when they had thus done, He <\/p>\n
712
\n00:47:58,200 –> 00:48:03,200
\nwent out into the water.
\nAnd they enclosed a great <\/p>\n
713
\n00:48:03,300 –> 00:48:07,400
\nmultitude of fishes.
\nAnd their net break. <\/p>\n
714
\n00:48:08,200 –> 00:48:13,100
\nSo they went out into the water.
\nAnd they throw out the Nets into<\/p>\n
715
\n00:48:13,100 –> 00:48:18,800
\nthe sea.
\nAnd all of a sudden, the fish <\/p>\n
716
\n00:48:19,600 –> 00:48:25,200
\nstart to flow into those Nets.
\nAnd Peter who was a seasoned <\/p>\n
717
\n00:48:25,200 –> 00:48:28,400
\nfishermen.
\nHad never seen anything like it.<\/p>\n
718
\n00:48:28,400 –> 00:48:32,400
\nLook at it says in verse 7 and
\nthey beckon under their Partners<\/p>\n
719
\n00:48:32,400 –> 00:48:35,800
\nwhich were in the other ship
\nthat they should come and help <\/p>\n
720
\n00:48:35,800 –> 00:48:40,000
\nthem and they came and filled
\nboth the ships so that they <\/p>\n
721
\n00:48:40,000 –> 00:48:45,700
\nbegan to sink.
\nSo so many fish were they that <\/p>\n
722
\n00:48:45,700 –> 00:48:49,700
\nPeter has to call his other ship
\nis brother with it. <\/p>\n
723
\n00:48:49,700 –> 00:48:52,600
\nHis friends in that ship and
\nthey come with their ship. <\/p>\n
724
\n00:48:52,800 –> 00:49:00,400
\nAnd help to bring the fish into
\nthe other boat. and when Peter <\/p>\n
725
\n00:49:00,400 –> 00:49:06,200
\nsaw this, the power that Jesus
\nhad over these fish. <\/p>\n
726
\n00:49:07,200 –> 00:49:18,200
\nIt says he was astonished. and
\nthen verse 8, it says When Simon<\/p>\n
727
\n00:49:18,200 –> 00:49:22,700
\nPeter saw it?
\nHe fell down at Jesus knees and <\/p>\n
728
\n00:49:22,700 –> 00:49:26,600
\nsaid, depart from me for I am a
\nsinful man. <\/p>\n
729
\n00:49:28,000 –> 00:49:31,800
\nThat would Simon.
\nPeter is an indication to us <\/p>\n
730
\n00:49:31,800 –> 00:49:37,300
\nthat this man was growing.
\nAnd this was a key moment in his<\/p>\n
731
\n00:49:37,300 –> 00:49:41,500
\nlife.
\nAnd when he saw it, this <\/p>\n
732
\n00:49:41,500 –> 00:49:47,000
\nenormous catch of fish.
\nHe realized who Jesus was. <\/p>\n
733
\n00:49:48,100 –> 00:49:53,000
\nAnd the power that he yielded.
\nAnd he ran to Jesus. <\/p>\n
734
\n00:49:54,000 –> 00:49:58,700
\nAnd he fell down on his knees.
\nAnd he said, depart from me. <\/p>\n
735
\n00:49:59,800 –> 00:50:05,100
\nFor I am a sinful, man.
\nThat word Lord. <\/p>\n
736
\n00:50:06,600 –> 00:50:13,100
\nMeans Supreme controller.
\nPreviously in verse 5, he called<\/p>\n
737
\n00:50:13,300 –> 00:50:18,000
\nJesus his master.
\nBut now he understood. <\/p>\n
738
\n00:50:19,000 –> 00:50:23,700
\nThat Jesus was more than that.
\nHe was his Lord. <\/p>\n
739
\n00:50:25,100 –> 00:50:29,300
\nAnd he didn’t just have power
\nover the spiritual world, but he<\/p>\n
740
\n00:50:29,300 –> 00:50:33,600
\nhas power over the natural world
\nand everything associated with <\/p>\n
741
\n00:50:33,600 –> 00:50:37,800
\nit.
\nAnd Peter runs to Jesus ashamed.<\/p>\n
742
\n00:50:38,900 –> 00:50:42,900
\nThat he had doubted that he’d
\nbeen distracted. <\/p>\n
743
\n00:50:44,100 –> 00:50:47,900
\nAnd he’s now ready to give his
\nwhole life to this man. <\/p>\n
744
\n00:50:50,900 –> 00:50:55,500
\nAnd so Jesus says to these men
\nand all the other disciples were<\/p>\n
745
\n00:50:55,500 –> 00:51:00,300
\nthe same, they came to give
\ntheir life to Jesus verse 10, <\/p>\n
746
\n00:51:01,100 –> 00:51:08,100
\nJesus says to them.
\nSorry verse verse 10 and so was <\/p>\n
747
\n00:51:08,100 –> 00:51:12,100
\nalso James and John, the sons of
\nZebedee which were partners with<\/p>\n
748
\n00:51:12,100 –> 00:51:18,400
\nSimon and Jesus said unto Simon
\nfear, not from henceforth. <\/p>\n
749
\n00:51:18,800 –> 00:51:24,300
\nThou shalt catch fish.
\nJason said to pay that, I don’t <\/p>\n
750
\n00:51:24,300 –> 00:51:28,000
\nwant you to fear and what would
\nPeter have feared? <\/p>\n
751
\n00:51:29,400 –> 00:51:32,700
\nWell, he was fearing the
\nchallenge of his calling. <\/p>\n
752
\n00:51:34,200 –> 00:51:41,000
\nIt required a full commitment.
\nIt required him to give all and <\/p>\n
753
\n00:51:41,000 –> 00:51:44,300
\nfor Peter, that meant leaving
\nhis family. <\/p>\n
754
\n00:51:45,200 –> 00:51:48,800
\nIt meant leaving his job.
\nIt means that meant leaving his <\/p>\n
755
\n00:51:48,800 –> 00:51:52,400
\nhome for a period of time and
\nthat would have been a daunting <\/p>\n
756
\n00:51:52,400 –> 00:51:57,100
\nexperience, but Jesus is, I
\ndon’t want you to fear Because <\/p>\n
757
\n00:51:57,100 –> 00:52:00,800
\nI’m with you.
\nAnd then in verse 11, it says <\/p>\n
758
\n00:52:01,000 –> 00:52:07,000
\nand they brought their ships to
\nland. and they forsook all And <\/p>\n
759
\n00:52:07,000 –> 00:52:11,400
\nfollowed him.
\nNot last time. <\/p>\n
760
\n00:52:11,400 –> 00:52:14,300
\nG Peter had just forsaken his
\nNets. <\/p>\n
761
\n00:52:16,100 –> 00:52:17,900
\nAnd then it quickly gone back to
\nthem. <\/p>\n
762
\n00:52:19,600 –> 00:52:24,400
\nBut this time Peter and the
\nother disciples walked away from<\/p>\n
763
\n00:52:24,400 –> 00:52:27,900
\neverything.
\nAnd they were now ready to give <\/p>\n
764
\n00:52:27,900 –> 00:52:33,300
\nPeter their first priority.
\nThey’re number one. <\/p>\n
765
\n00:52:35,400 –> 00:52:38,500
\nNow, this is the Cole.
\nAnd the beginning of <\/p>\n
766
\n00:52:38,500 –> 00:52:41,100
\ndiscipleship, that Jesus makes
\nto all of us. <\/p>\n
767
\n00:52:42,900 –> 00:52:46,300
\nHe wants us to make him our
\nnumber one priority in life. <\/p>\n
768
\n00:52:48,000 –> 00:52:51,800
\nAnd we might think, well am I
\nreally expected to do what Peter<\/p>\n
769
\n00:52:51,800 –> 00:52:55,200
\ndid.
\nAnd that is leave my family and <\/p>\n
770
\n00:52:55,200 –> 00:52:59,200
\nmy home and my career and
\neverything that I’ve got. <\/p>\n
771
\n00:53:00,800 –> 00:53:05,800
\nTo give my whole life to Jesus.
\nAnd of course, all of our <\/p>\n
772
\n00:53:05,800 –> 00:53:09,200
\ncallings are different.
\nAnd Peter was cold to that <\/p>\n
773
\n00:53:09,200 –> 00:53:11,400
\nunique task for a couple of
\nyears. <\/p>\n
774
\n00:53:11,400 –> 00:53:15,600
\nAnd our callings are not all
\nexactly the same, but what our <\/p>\n
775
\n00:53:15,600 –> 00:53:19,400
\ncallings are is they are
\ncallings to make Jesus our <\/p>\n
776
\n00:53:19,400 –> 00:53:26,600
\nnumber one priority in life.
\nAnd that may take time like it <\/p>\n
777
\n00:53:26,600 –> 00:53:31,200
\ndid for Peter But ultimately
\nthat’s what God wants us to do. <\/p>\n
778
\n00:53:32,100 –> 00:53:35,900
\nHe wants us to seek first, the
\nkingdom of God and all these <\/p>\n
779
\n00:53:35,900 –> 00:53:40,400
\nthings will be added unto you.
\nHe wants that pursuit to be <\/p>\n
780
\n00:53:40,400 –> 00:53:43,400
\nnumber one.
\nHe wants us. <\/p>\n
781
\n00:53:45,000 –> 00:53:49,200
\nTo see him as our Lord.
\nAnd that’s challenge today, <\/p>\n
782
\n00:53:49,200 –> 00:53:53,700
\nisn’t it?
\nI find that challenging because <\/p>\n
783
\n00:53:53,700 –> 00:53:58,200
\nwe live in a world that provides
\nus with so many options, so many<\/p>\n
784
\n00:53:58,200 –> 00:54:02,700
\nthings to do so many options in
\nour career or our schooling, or <\/p>\n
785
\n00:54:02,700 –> 00:54:06,100
\nour life.
\nAnd so, what we find ourselves <\/p>\n
786
\n00:54:06,100 –> 00:54:09,100
\nor what I find myself doing
\nsometimes is my life is like a <\/p>\n
787
\n00:54:09,100 –> 00:54:13,000
\ngiant list and I have all these
\nthings and one of those things <\/p>\n
788
\n00:54:13,000 –> 00:54:18,700
\non that list is God and I do my
\njob and then I have my, my <\/p>\n
789
\n00:54:18,700 –> 00:54:21,600
\nfamily and then I have God and
\nthen I have all these other <\/p>\n
790
\n00:54:21,600 –> 00:54:24,500
\npriorities and I just cycle
\nthrough those priorities <\/p>\n
791
\n00:54:24,500 –> 00:54:26,400
\ndepending on what’s going on in
\nmy life. <\/p>\n
792
\n00:54:27,500 –> 00:54:30,100
\nAnd I’ll give a certain period
\nof time to God for a certain <\/p>\n
793
\n00:54:30,100 –> 00:54:32,800
\ntime and then I go back to my
\njob and my family. <\/p>\n
794
\n00:54:34,300 –> 00:54:36,300
\nBut God says, that’s not what I
\nwant you to do. <\/p>\n
795
\n00:54:37,200 –> 00:54:40,800
\nI want you to seek first, the
\nkingdom of God as your number <\/p>\n
796
\n00:54:40,800 –> 00:54:43,500
\none priority.
\nI want that to be above your <\/p>\n
797
\n00:54:43,500 –> 00:54:46,700
\nlist and everything else.
\nConnect into that. <\/p>\n
798
\n00:54:48,000 –> 00:54:51,200
\nAnd the lesson that Peter was
\ntaught in that miraculous Hall <\/p>\n
799
\n00:54:51,200 –> 00:54:54,600
\nof fishes.
\nWas that if you do that, Peter, <\/p>\n
800
\n00:54:55,500 –> 00:55:01,700
\nI will look after you, I will
\ncare for you and I will provide <\/p>\n
801
\n00:55:01,700 –> 00:55:06,400
\nfor all of your needs.
\nThe amazing thing about that <\/p>\n
802
\n00:55:06,400 –> 00:55:09,200
\nstory that I told you about the
\nscooter and what happened to me.<\/p>\n
803
\n00:55:09,200 –> 00:55:12,400
\nAnd God directly.
\nMy priorities, is that six <\/p>\n
804
\n00:55:12,400 –> 00:55:17,600
\nmonths later, that girl that I
\nwent over to Adelaide to get <\/p>\n
805
\n00:55:18,500 –> 00:55:21,900
\nCame back to me.
\nAnd she’s now my wife. <\/p>\n
806
\n00:55:23,100 –> 00:55:25,300
\nAnd I have a beautiful beautiful
\nfamily with her. <\/p>\n
807
\n00:55:26,500 –> 00:55:30,800
\nBut God works in our life in
\nthat way and he worked in my <\/p>\n
808
\n00:55:30,800 –> 00:55:35,800
\nlife to direct my priorities to
\nhim and the lesson that he <\/p>\n
809
\n00:55:35,800 –> 00:55:41,200
\ntaught me was if you do that and
\nyou prioritize me above all <\/p>\n
810
\n00:55:41,200 –> 00:55:45,100
\nelse, I will take care of your
\nlife. <\/p>\n
811
\n00:55:46,200 –> 00:55:50,200
\nAnd the things that you need in
\nit, now I’m not telling you and <\/p>\n
812
\n00:55:50,200 –> 00:55:51,900
\nI think God’s telling you that
\nyou’re going to. <\/p>\n
813
\n00:55:52,200 –> 00:55:54,700
\nIf you follow him, you’re going
\nto get the girl of your dreams <\/p>\n
814
\n00:55:54,700 –> 00:55:56,700
\nor some girls going to fall.
\nCome after you. <\/p>\n
815
\n00:55:57,500 –> 00:56:05,100
\nBut what God does teach us. is
\nif we make him number one, he <\/p>\n
816
\n00:56:05,100 –> 00:56:09,200
\nwill look after us.
\nNow, this was a key moment in <\/p>\n
817
\n00:56:09,200 –> 00:56:13,000
\nthe life of Peter.
\nHe was at a massive Crossroads <\/p>\n
818
\n00:56:13,000 –> 00:56:17,000
\nin his life, as we will come to
\nCrossroads in our lives Forks in<\/p>\n
819
\n00:56:17,000 –> 00:56:19,300
\nthe road where we’re going to
\nmake the decision about where <\/p>\n
820
\n00:56:19,300 –> 00:56:21,600
\nwe’re going to go.
\nAnd Peter could have made the <\/p>\n
821
\n00:56:21,600 –> 00:56:24,900
\ndecision that I can see.
\nYou’re calling their Jesus, but <\/p>\n
822
\n00:56:24,900 –> 00:56:27,900
\nI’ve got an awesome business
\nhere and fishing business that <\/p>\n
823
\n00:56:27,900 –> 00:56:30,500
\nI’m going to pursue.
\nAnd he could have made the Lord <\/p>\n
824
\n00:56:30,500 –> 00:56:34,700
\nof his life, his fishing
\nbusiness and he could have built<\/p>\n
825
\n00:56:35,000 –> 00:56:38,200
\na whole Fleet of fishing boats.
\nHe could have built five or ten <\/p>\n
826
\n00:56:38,200 –> 00:56:41,600
\nor a hundred boats and he could
\nhave been renowned in the All of<\/p>\n
827
\n00:56:41,600 –> 00:56:45,300
\nthe area has the greatest
\nfeature of fish that’s ever <\/p>\n
828
\n00:56:45,300 –> 00:56:48,200
\nexisted in Galilee and at the
\nend of his life, they would have<\/p>\n
829
\n00:56:48,200 –> 00:56:51,000
\nbuilt a jetty for him.
\nAnd they would have had a plaque<\/p>\n
830
\n00:56:51,000 –> 00:56:54,900
\nat the end of that Jetty, that
\nsaid, Peter the Great Fisher of <\/p>\n
831
\n00:56:54,900 –> 00:56:58,200
\nfish.
\nAnd he would have died. <\/p>\n
832
\n00:56:59,500 –> 00:57:03,700
\nAnd he would have disappeared.
\nAnd we would never ever, ever <\/p>\n
833
\n00:57:03,700 –> 00:57:08,700
\nhave heard of him of gain.
\nBut that fork in the road Peter <\/p>\n
834
\n00:57:08,700 –> 00:57:11,800
\nchose to do something different
\nand he said I’m going to make <\/p>\n
835
\n00:57:11,800 –> 00:57:15,400
\nthe Lord Of My Life.
\nJesus Christ. <\/p>\n
836
\n00:57:16,700 –> 00:57:21,400
\nAnd I’m going to follow him.
\nAnd when he did pursue that <\/p>\n
837
\n00:57:21,400 –> 00:57:25,000
\npath, he was going to become one
\nof the greatest Fishers of Men <\/p>\n
838
\n00:57:25,700 –> 00:57:30,900
\nthat the world has ever seen and
\nwere here tonight as witnesses <\/p>\n
839
\n00:57:30,900 –> 00:57:33,600
\nto that.
\nBecause that’s what he did. <\/p>\n
840
\n00:57:34,700 –> 00:57:37,200
\nAnd if it wasn’t for Peter, we
\nwouldn’t be here. <\/p>\n
841
\n00:57:39,100 –> 00:57:41,100
\nNow, that’s Jesus challenge to
\nus all. <\/p>\n
842
\n00:57:41,100 –> 00:57:47,100
\nSo, he walked past our life as
\nhe walked past Peters on the Sea<\/p>\n
843
\n00:57:47,100 –> 00:57:49,800
\nof Galilee.
\nAny presents us with an <\/p>\n
844
\n00:57:49,808 –> 00:57:54,500
\ninvitation?
\nAnd that invitation is come and <\/p>\n
845
\n00:57:54,500 –> 00:57:57,200
\nfollow me.
\nI know it’s daunting. <\/p>\n
846
\n00:57:58,200 –> 00:58:00,600
\nI know there’s so many other
\nthings that you could do in <\/p>\n
847
\n00:58:00,600 –> 00:58:05,300
\nlife, but trust me.
\nPut your hand in mine. <\/p>\n
848
\n00:58:06,400 –> 00:58:12,000
\nAnd come and follow me.
\nThree steps. <\/p>\n
849
\n00:58:12,100 –> 00:58:15,400
\nWe’ve looked at tonight to
\nanswering God’s call. <\/p>\n
850
\n00:58:17,000 –> 00:58:21,800
\nThe first one is our Pursuit for
\nChrist needs to be active. <\/p>\n
851
\n00:58:22,600 –> 00:58:26,700
\nIf we want to find out about
\nChrist, we’ve got to pursue him <\/p>\n
852
\n00:58:26,700 –> 00:58:30,200
\nactively like those disciples
\ndid put ourselves in the right <\/p>\n
853
\n00:58:30,200 –> 00:58:33,600
\nspots search and find out who he
\nis. <\/p>\n
854
\n00:58:34,700 –> 00:58:36,800
\nWe then need to begin to follow
\nhim. <\/p>\n
855
\n00:58:38,100 –> 00:58:41,700
\nTo actively try and live out his
\nlife in our life. <\/p>\n
856
\n00:58:41,900 –> 00:58:47,400
\nAnd finally, we then need to
\nprioritize him above all other <\/p>\n
857
\n00:58:47,400 –> 00:58:48,900
\nthings that we have in life.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
