00:00:52,900<br \/>\nWelcome to the good<br \/>\nchristadelphians talks podcast. <\/p>\n<p>10<br \/>\n00:00:53,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:00:56,600<br \/>\nThis is brother Brian.<br \/>\nThis speaks talk is an <\/p>\n<p>11<br \/>\n00:00:56,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:00:59,400<br \/>\nexcitation by Brother Sam.<br \/>\nMansfield. <\/p>\n<p>12<br \/>\n00:00:59,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:02,800<br \/>\nThat was Given back in 2020 at<br \/>\nthe Hyde Park. <\/p>\n<p>13<br \/>\n00:01:02,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:06,100<br \/>\nEcclesia, this was sent in by<br \/>\nrecommendation a couple years <\/p>\n<p>14<br \/>\n00:01:06,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:12,600<br \/>\nago, and expert is called the<br \/>\nwidows and women who gave all <\/p>\n<p>15<br \/>\n00:01:14,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:18,200<br \/>\nit&#8217;s a great little snapshot<br \/>\ninto the more prominent stories <\/p>\n<p>16<br \/>\n00:01:18,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:24,800<br \/>\nof sacrifice and salvation that<br \/>\nElijah Elijah and Jesus <\/p>\n<p>17<br \/>\n00:01:25,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:30,500<br \/>\nencounter with these widows who<br \/>\ndisplay Faith while in Dire <\/p>\n<p>18<br \/>\n00:01:30,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:39,300<br \/>\nStraits, The main takeaway is<br \/>\nthat we are these women. we are <\/p>\n<p>19<br \/>\n00:01:39,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:42,800<br \/>\ndisadvantaged by the<br \/>\ncircumstances that we find <\/p>\n<p>20<br \/>\n00:01:42,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:48,600<br \/>\nourselves in in our natural<br \/>\nlife, we are facing a debt that <\/p>\n<p>21<br \/>\n00:01:48,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:54,300<br \/>\ncannot be paid and in need of<br \/>\nnot just a little help but total<\/p>\n<p>22<br \/>\n00:01:54,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:02,100<br \/>\nsupport And in order to receive<br \/>\nthat Absolution, we need to be <\/p>\n<p>23<br \/>\n00:02:02,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:06,500<br \/>\nwilling to give up, even what<br \/>\nlittle we might have left, so to<\/p>\n<p>24<br \/>\n00:02:06,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:11,600<br \/>\nspeak.<br \/>\nIn order to be truly, set free <\/p>\n<p>25<br \/>\n00:02:11,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:16,300<br \/>\nfrom the burden of vanity,<br \/>\npossessions of entitlement. <\/p>\n<p>26<br \/>\n00:02:18,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:23,000<br \/>\nBrother Sam makes a great point<br \/>\nof highlighting, how little of <\/p>\n<p>27<br \/>\n00:02:23,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:25,600<br \/>\neach of these women had left to<br \/>\ngive. <\/p>\n<p>28<br \/>\n00:02:25,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:30,500<br \/>\nWhether it&#8217;s their last two<br \/>\nmites ingredients for a last <\/p>\n<p>29<br \/>\n00:02:30,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:33,600<br \/>\nmeal.<br \/>\nHaving to face selling their <\/p>\n<p>30<br \/>\n00:02:33,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:38,400<br \/>\nsons into slavery.<br \/>\nIn order to meet a debt And yet <\/p>\n<p>31<br \/>\n00:02:38,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:42,800<br \/>\nthey&#8217;re still asked to give even<br \/>\nwhat little they can still <\/p>\n<p>32<br \/>\n00:02:42,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:46,200<br \/>\ncontrol.<br \/>\nThat is us. <\/p>\n<p>33<br \/>\n00:02:48,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:52,200<br \/>\nIdeally, we would like to be<br \/>\nable to give to God out of our <\/p>\n<p>34<br \/>\n00:02:52,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:57,600<br \/>\nabundance but it may be hardest<br \/>\nto sacrifice when we feel like <\/p>\n<p>35<br \/>\n00:02:57,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:03,100<br \/>\nwe are at our most vulnerable.<br \/>\nI have so little to give But it <\/p>\n<p>36<br \/>\n00:03:03,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:07,600<br \/>\nis God who desires to give to us<br \/>\nout of his abundance and to fill<\/p>\n<p>37<br \/>\n00:03:07,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:13,200<br \/>\nour vessels completely, if we<br \/>\nare willing to give even what <\/p>\n<p>38<br \/>\n00:03:13,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:17,000<br \/>\nlittle we have to our Lord and<br \/>\nthat&#8217;s our hearts. <\/p>\n<p>39<br \/>\n00:03:18,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:24,100<br \/>\nSo as Paul rightly summarized,<br \/>\nfrom Philippians 3, he said I <\/p>\n<p>40<br \/>\n00:03:24,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:27,400<br \/>\ngave up all things.<br \/>\nAll things that I might gain <\/p>\n<p>41<br \/>\n00:03:27,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:31,500<br \/>\nChrist because of the surpassing<br \/>\nworth of the knowledge of <\/p>\n<p>42<br \/>\n00:03:31,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:33,500<br \/>\nChrist.<br \/>\nEverything else feels like <\/p>\n<p>43<br \/>\n00:03:33,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:38,000<br \/>\nrubbish or trash, to me that I&#8217;m<br \/>\nwilling to part with and wish <\/p>\n<p>44<br \/>\n00:03:38,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:41,800<br \/>\nthat I never had it back.<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s what knowing Christ was <\/p>\n<p>45<br \/>\n00:03:41,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:45,500<br \/>\nworth.<br \/>\nEverything else might as well be<\/p>\n<p>46<br \/>\n00:03:45,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:50,200<br \/>\nlike loss.<br \/>\nSo as always, we hope this <\/p>\n<p>47<br \/>\n00:03:50,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:52,000<br \/>\nstrengthens your faith and<br \/>\nbrightens your day. <\/p>\n<p>48<br \/>\n00:03:53,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:58,200<br \/>\nBrother, Sam Mansfield, the<br \/>\nwidows and women, who gave all <\/p>\n<p>49<br \/>\n00:03:59,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:02,900<br \/>\nwe want to look at for women<br \/>\nthis morning. <\/p>\n<p>50<br \/>\n00:04:03,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:07,500<br \/>\nStarting with this certain poor<br \/>\nWidow that Jesus describes for <\/p>\n<p>51<br \/>\n00:04:07,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:13,000<br \/>\nus in Mark, chapter 12 and I was<br \/>\ngoing to call this the full <\/p>\n<p>52<br \/>\n00:04:13,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:16,300<br \/>\nwidows exhort, but technically,<br \/>\none of the women that we&#8217;re <\/p>\n<p>53<br \/>\n00:04:16,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:18,600<br \/>\ngoing to look at may not have<br \/>\nbeen a widow, so we&#8217;ll call it <\/p>\n<p>54<br \/>\n00:04:18,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:21,899<br \/>\nthe lessons of life from the for<br \/>\nwomen. <\/p>\n<p>55<br \/>\n00:04:23,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:25,800<br \/>\nAnd I just want to highlight<br \/>\nsome key terms that we saw there<\/p>\n<p>56<br \/>\n00:04:25,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:31,300<br \/>\nin Mark chapter 12.<br \/>\nIn Jesus description of this <\/p>\n<p>57<br \/>\n00:04:31,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:33,700<br \/>\nparticular we do and what she<br \/>\nwas doing. <\/p>\n<p>58<br \/>\n00:04:34,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:37,500<br \/>\nHave a look at verse 44 in his<br \/>\ndescription. <\/p>\n<p>59<br \/>\n00:04:37,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:41,800<br \/>\nAnd he says, they&#8217;re for all<br \/>\nthey did cast in of their <\/p>\n<p>60<br \/>\n00:04:41,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:47,700<br \/>\nabundance, but she of her want<br \/>\ndid cast in all that, she had <\/p>\n<p>61<br \/>\n00:04:47,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:51,800<br \/>\neven all her living.<br \/>\nSo we&#8217;ve got abundance, we&#8217;ve <\/p>\n<p>62<br \/>\n00:04:51,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:55,400<br \/>\ngot want, we&#8217;ve got all<br \/>\nmentioned there twice and we&#8217;ve <\/p>\n<p>63<br \/>\n00:04:55,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:01,300<br \/>\ngot living Now, the word for<br \/>\nwant in verse 44, there is the <\/p>\n<p>64<br \/>\n00:05:01,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:06,000<br \/>\nGreek word, who asterius and it<br \/>\nmeans a falling short to be <\/p>\n<p>65<br \/>\n00:05:06,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:08,700<br \/>\ndeficient, and it&#8217;s really<br \/>\ncontrast to their obviously, <\/p>\n<p>66<br \/>\n00:05:08,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:10,500<br \/>\nwith the abundance of the rich<br \/>\nmen. <\/p>\n<p>67<br \/>\n00:05:11,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:15,400<br \/>\nThey&#8217;ve got abundance and the<br \/>\nWidow has want and the idea of <\/p>\n<p>68<br \/>\n00:05:15,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:19,400<br \/>\nthe word want is not so much<br \/>\npoverty but debt. <\/p>\n<p>69<br \/>\n00:05:20,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:23,500<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s not that she doesn&#8217;t have<br \/>\nmuch but she has a negative <\/p>\n<p>70<br \/>\n00:05:23,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:25,900<br \/>\namount.<br \/>\nShe is in debt. <\/p>\n<p>71<br \/>\n00:05:25,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:30,100<br \/>\nNot a small net worth but a<br \/>\nnegative net worth, she&#8217;s giving<\/p>\n<p>72<br \/>\n00:05:30,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:35,200<br \/>\nmoney when she owed money.<br \/>\nNow, as this sort of Jesus <\/p>\n<p>73<br \/>\n00:05:35,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:38,800<br \/>\ngiving us a sort of invitation<br \/>\nto financial recklessness, is <\/p>\n<p>74<br \/>\n00:05:38,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:42,100<br \/>\nthat what it&#8217;s about giving<br \/>\nmoney to others when you&#8217;re in <\/p>\n<p>75<br \/>\n00:05:42,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:45,200<br \/>\ndebt yourself?<br \/>\nWell the root word of that word <\/p>\n<p>76<br \/>\n00:05:45,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:50,600<br \/>\nthat word want is used in Romans<br \/>\nchapter 3 and verse 23 and <\/p>\n<p>77<br \/>\n00:05:50,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:51,500<br \/>\nwords, you will know pretty<br \/>\nwell. <\/p>\n<p>78<br \/>\n00:05:51,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:57,200<br \/>\nI think for all have sinned and<br \/>\ncome short of the glory of God. <\/p>\n<p>79<br \/>\n00:05:57,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:00,900<br \/>\nSo come short in Romans 3 verse<br \/>\n23. <\/p>\n<p>80<br \/>\n00:06:01,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:03,700<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s the same word as our want<br \/>\nhere in March. <\/p>\n<p>81<br \/>\n00:06:03,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:07,500<br \/>\nMark chapter 12.<br \/>\nSo Paul and Rome is this telling<\/p>\n<p>82<br \/>\n00:06:07,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:11,600<br \/>\nus when it comes to God&#8217;s glory,<br \/>\nwe&#8217;re all in deficit. <\/p>\n<p>83<br \/>\n00:06:11,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:16,100<br \/>\nWe&#8217;re all in want, says, Paul in<br \/>\nRomans because of sin, like the <\/p>\n<p>84<br \/>\n00:06:16,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:21,700<br \/>\nWidow, we&#8217;re all in debt to God.<br \/>\nAnd it&#8217;s here that we can begin <\/p>\n<p>85<br \/>\n00:06:21,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:26,500<br \/>\nto see the what Jesus is really<br \/>\ndriving at here with the Widow <\/p>\n<p>86<br \/>\n00:06:26,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:29,700<br \/>\nand her two mites Jesus isn&#8217;t<br \/>\nsort of, Doling out Financial <\/p>\n<p>87<br \/>\n00:06:29,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:33,500<br \/>\nadvice here to his disciples is<br \/>\ngiving spiritual advice on this <\/p>\n<p>88<br \/>\n00:06:33,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:37,300<br \/>\noccasion.<br \/>\nNow, that last word in verse 44 <\/p>\n<p>89<br \/>\n00:06:37,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:42,800<br \/>\nof Mark, chapter 12 is the word<br \/>\nliving and we sort of use that <\/p>\n<p>90<br \/>\n00:06:42,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:47,100<br \/>\nword to talk about money as in<br \/>\nhe or she makes a decent living,<\/p>\n<p>91<br \/>\n00:06:47,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:49,400<br \/>\nbut the Greek word is just the<br \/>\nword. <\/p>\n<p>92<br \/>\n00:06:49,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:54,700<br \/>\nAdd bios from which we get<br \/>\nobviously, biology, the study of<\/p>\n<p>93<br \/>\n00:06:54,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:56,900<br \/>\nliving things that simply means<br \/>\nlife. <\/p>\n<p>94<br \/>\n00:06:57,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:02,900<br \/>\nWhen Jesus is saying that this<br \/>\nwoman cast in all that she had a<\/p>\n<p>95<br \/>\n00:07:02,907 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:07,300<br \/>\nmeans, literally that she had<br \/>\nless than nothing in terms of <\/p>\n<p>96<br \/>\n00:07:07,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:10,400<br \/>\npossessions.<br \/>\nShe was in debt or what did she <\/p>\n<p>97<br \/>\n00:07:10,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:13,400<br \/>\nhave?<br \/>\nWhat did she cast in all of? <\/p>\n<p>98<br \/>\n00:07:14,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:19,700<br \/>\nShe gave all her life.<br \/>\nShe had nothing else to give and<\/p>\n<p>99<br \/>\n00:07:19,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:23,100<br \/>\nlife really is the key here.<br \/>\nThe rich men cast in abundance <\/p>\n<p>100<br \/>\n00:07:23,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:28,700<br \/>\nof their possessions but she<br \/>\ncast in all her life because she<\/p>\n<p>101<br \/>\n00:07:28,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:33,500<br \/>\nhad nothing else to give And<br \/>\nsometimes we think the lesson <\/p>\n<p>102<br \/>\n00:07:33,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:38,300<br \/>\nfrom this description by Jesus<br \/>\nis one of proportion over <\/p>\n<p>103<br \/>\n00:07:38,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:40,600<br \/>\nvolume.<br \/>\nThe rich man gave as a <\/p>\n<p>104<br \/>\n00:07:40,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:43,500<br \/>\nproportion of their wealth or<br \/>\nless than the poor Widow and <\/p>\n<p>105<br \/>\n00:07:43,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:46,600<br \/>\nthat&#8217;s not wrong.<br \/>\nBut What proportion did the <\/p>\n<p>106<br \/>\n00:07:46,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:51,700<br \/>\nWidow give A tithe of 10%, which<br \/>\ngive 20% does? <\/p>\n<p>107<br \/>\n00:07:51,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:55,500<br \/>\nIt does God want half?<br \/>\nThe proportion the Widow gave <\/p>\n<p>108<br \/>\n00:07:55,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:59,500<br \/>\nwas 100%.<br \/>\nShe gave all her life. <\/p>\n<p>109<br \/>\n00:08:01,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:04,900<br \/>\nNow, when we talk about widows<br \/>\nyour hopefully reminded of Two <\/p>\n<p>110<br \/>\n00:08:04,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:09,400<br \/>\nOld Testament, widows one was<br \/>\nvisited by Elijah and the other <\/p>\n<p>111<br \/>\n00:08:09,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:13,100<br \/>\none by Elijah.<br \/>\nAnd the fact that Jesus was <\/p>\n<p>112<br \/>\n00:08:13,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:15,900<br \/>\ntalking about a widow, and these<br \/>\ntwo women in a larger, and <\/p>\n<p>113<br \/>\n00:08:15,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:19,500<br \/>\nwashes time will also happen to<br \/>\nbe widows, is only for the first<\/p>\n<p>114<br \/>\n00:08:19,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:23,700<br \/>\nof many parallels that I hope<br \/>\nwill see have a look at first of<\/p>\n<p>115<br \/>\n00:08:23,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:32,299<br \/>\nKings chapter 17. 1st Kings 17.<br \/>\nSo here we&#8217;ve got Elijah and <\/p>\n<p>116<br \/>\n00:08:32,299 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:34,900<br \/>\nElijah, and the whole nation of<br \/>\nIsrael is suffering through this<\/p>\n<p>117<br \/>\n00:08:34,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:37,900<br \/>\nintense, drought as we probably<br \/>\nknow, and God is going to <\/p>\n<p>118<br \/>\n00:08:37,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:39,600<br \/>\nsustain him through this<br \/>\ndrought. <\/p>\n<p>119<br \/>\n00:08:40,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:43,100<br \/>\nSo first is sent to the brook.<br \/>\nCherith and is fed by the <\/p>\n<p>120<br \/>\n00:08:43,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:47,300<br \/>\nRavens.<br \/>\nBut in verse 7 of first of Kings<\/p>\n<p>121<br \/>\n00:08:47,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:51,600<br \/>\n17, the Brooke has dried up.<br \/>\nSo where does God send him next?<\/p>\n<p>122<br \/>\n00:08:52,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:55,400<br \/>\nYou might think that God might<br \/>\nsend him to perhaps a wealthy <\/p>\n<p>123<br \/>\n00:08:55,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:59,500<br \/>\nlandowner who had plenty of<br \/>\nstorehouses of grain set. <\/p>\n<p>124<br \/>\n00:08:59,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:02,800<br \/>\nOdd for a period of drought that<br \/>\nwould be the logical in human <\/p>\n<p>125<br \/>\n00:09:02,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:04,300<br \/>\nterms.<br \/>\nThing to do wouldn&#8217;t know. <\/p>\n<p>126<br \/>\n00:09:05,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:10,600<br \/>\nBut instead God in verse 9 sends<br \/>\nhim to a woman in Zarephath, a <\/p>\n<p>127<br \/>\n00:09:10,608 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:14,400<br \/>\ngentile town.<br \/>\nAnd what does she have? <\/p>\n<p>128<br \/>\n00:09:14,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:18,800<br \/>\nDoes she have store Houses full<br \/>\nof grain know we read what she <\/p>\n<p>129<br \/>\n00:09:18,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:24,500<br \/>\nhas in verse 12 and she said as<br \/>\nYahweh thy God liveth I have not<\/p>\n<p>130<br \/>\n00:09:24,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:29,100<br \/>\na cake but I haven&#8217;t handful of<br \/>\nmeal in a barrel and a little <\/p>\n<p>131<br \/>\n00:09:29,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:34,000<br \/>\noil in a cruise and behold I&#8217;m<br \/>\ngathering two sticks which is a <\/p>\n<p>132<br \/>\n00:09:34,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:36,500<br \/>\ncuriously specific number of<br \/>\nsixes and it to be gathering a <\/p>\n<p>133<br \/>\n00:09:36,508 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:41,300<br \/>\nbit like two mites in Mark 12.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m gathering to sticks that I <\/p>\n<p>134<br \/>\n00:09:41,308 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:45,900<br \/>\nmight go in and dress it for me<br \/>\nand my son that we may eat it <\/p>\n<p>135<br \/>\n00:09:46,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:49,100<br \/>\nand die.<br \/>\nSo what has she got? <\/p>\n<p>136<br \/>\n00:09:49,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:53,800<br \/>\nShe&#8217;s got a handful of meal of<br \/>\nflour and a little oil, nothing <\/p>\n<p>137<br \/>\n00:09:53,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:57,100<br \/>\nelse.<br \/>\nShe&#8217;s got so little that she&#8217;s <\/p>\n<p>138<br \/>\n00:09:57,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:00,700<br \/>\nabout to use what she has to<br \/>\nmake one final meal for herself <\/p>\n<p>139<br \/>\n00:10:00,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:04,700<br \/>\nand her son which isn&#8217;t going to<br \/>\nbe a huge feast because it&#8217;s <\/p>\n<p>140<br \/>\n00:10:04,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:07,600<br \/>\nshe&#8217;s only got a handful of meal<br \/>\nto use and a little bit of oil. <\/p>\n<p>141<br \/>\n00:10:08,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:10,900<br \/>\nShe going to make one final meal<br \/>\nand then die. <\/p>\n<p>142<br \/>\n00:10:12,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:15,900<br \/>\nThe oil on the mule represent<br \/>\nher entire life because they&#8217;re <\/p>\n<p>143<br \/>\n00:10:15,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:20,300<br \/>\nthe only thing separating her<br \/>\nand her son from death. <\/p>\n<p>144<br \/>\n00:10:21,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:24,700<br \/>\nThe cake that a larger request<br \/>\nis probably just a simple flat <\/p>\n<p>145<br \/>\n00:10:24,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:28,700<br \/>\nbread made from from meal and<br \/>\noil and bread of course today is<\/p>\n<p>146<br \/>\n00:10:28,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:32,800<br \/>\nstill called the staff of life<br \/>\nand Moses pointed out that we <\/p>\n<p>147<br \/>\n00:10:32,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:36,700<br \/>\ndon&#8217;t live by bread alone.<br \/>\nWe don&#8217;t live by bread alone. <\/p>\n<p>148<br \/>\n00:10:37,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:40,800<br \/>\nSo the flower and the oil<br \/>\ntogether making bread represents<\/p>\n<p>149<br \/>\n00:10:40,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:44,900<br \/>\nlife for this woman and her son<br \/>\nand she didn&#8217;t have much of <\/p>\n<p>150<br \/>\n00:10:44,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:48,600<br \/>\neither.<br \/>\nThere&#8217;s another important symbol<\/p>\n<p>151<br \/>\n00:10:48,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:50,800<br \/>\nin this story.<br \/>\nNote, the repetition of the <\/p>\n<p>152<br \/>\n00:10:50,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:52,800<br \/>\ndifferent types of vessels in<br \/>\nthis story. <\/p>\n<p>153<br \/>\n00:10:52,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:55,400<br \/>\nSo in verse 10, we&#8217;re not going<br \/>\nto sort of go through the story <\/p>\n<p>154<br \/>\n00:10:55,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:57,900<br \/>\nin detail.<br \/>\nHopefully, we know most of these<\/p>\n<p>155<br \/>\n00:10:57,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:02,700<br \/>\nstories of Elijah and Elisha<br \/>\nfrom Bible class, perhaps or <\/p>\n<p>156<br \/>\n00:11:02,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:04,600<br \/>\nSunday school lesson.<br \/>\nSo verse 10. <\/p>\n<p>157<br \/>\n00:11:04,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:09,700<br \/>\nFetch me a water in a vessel<br \/>\nsays a larger in verse 12. <\/p>\n<p>158<br \/>\n00:11:09,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:14,400<br \/>\nThe woman had a handful of meal<br \/>\nin a barrel and a little oil in <\/p>\n<p>159<br \/>\n00:11:14,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:18,900<br \/>\na cruise so vessel is of it&#8217;s<br \/>\njust a container Barrel is a <\/p>\n<p>160<br \/>\n00:11:18,908 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:23,600<br \/>\ntype of vessel cruises.<br \/>\nAnother type of vessel just a <\/p>\n<p>161<br \/>\n00:11:23,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:27,100<br \/>\nflash of vessel, the woman has<br \/>\nvessels but they&#8217;re almost <\/p>\n<p>162<br \/>\n00:11:27,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:30,800<br \/>\nempty, aren&#8217;t they?<br \/>\nSo, what the vessels represent? <\/p>\n<p>163<br \/>\n00:11:31,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:36,900<br \/>\nAll vessels represent bodies.<br \/>\nThey represent people vessels <\/p>\n<p>164<br \/>\n00:11:36,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:41,000<br \/>\nrepresent us.<br \/>\nSecond Corinthians chapter 4 and<\/p>\n<p>165<br \/>\n00:11:41,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:44,000<br \/>\nverse 6.<br \/>\nAnd 7, Paul says, for God who <\/p>\n<p>166<br \/>\n00:11:44,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:47,500<br \/>\ncommanded the light to shine out<br \/>\nof Darkness, has shined in our <\/p>\n<p>167<br \/>\n00:11:47,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:51,400<br \/>\nhearts to give the light of the<br \/>\nknowledge of the glory of God in<\/p>\n<p>168<br \/>\n00:11:51,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:55,800<br \/>\nthe face of Jesus Christ.<br \/>\nBut we have this treasure in <\/p>\n<p>169<br \/>\n00:11:55,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:59,400<br \/>\nEarthen vessels.<br \/>\nThat the Excellency of the power<\/p>\n<p>170<br \/>\n00:11:59,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:03,300<br \/>\nmay be of God and not of us.<br \/>\nMarson-knight, how pull in that <\/p>\n<p>171<br \/>\n00:12:03,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:06,800<br \/>\nverse parallels, the ideas, you<br \/>\nhave a lot of God&#8217;s glory. <\/p>\n<p>172<br \/>\n00:12:07,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:12,200<br \/>\nGod&#8217;s character has shined in<br \/>\nour hearts, but we have this <\/p>\n<p>173<br \/>\n00:12:12,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:14,300<br \/>\nknowledge.<br \/>\nThere&#8217;s light in Earthen <\/p>\n<p>174<br \/>\n00:12:14,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:16,200<br \/>\nvessels.<br \/>\nWe are those Earthen vessels <\/p>\n<p>175<br \/>\n00:12:16,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:18,500<br \/>\nthat contain this knowledge of<br \/>\nGod. <\/p>\n<p>176<br \/>\n00:12:19,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:24,100<br \/>\nSo vessels represent people.<br \/>\nAnd this miracle is going to <\/p>\n<p>177<br \/>\n00:12:24,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:26,600<br \/>\ntake place in the woman&#8217;s<br \/>\nvessels. <\/p>\n<p>178<br \/>\n00:12:26,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:28,500<br \/>\nSo, note carefully, what Elijah<br \/>\nsays? <\/p>\n<p>179<br \/>\n00:12:28,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:33,700<br \/>\nIn verse 14, the barrel is not<br \/>\ngoing to waste and, again, in <\/p>\n<p>180<br \/>\n00:12:33,708 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:36,500<br \/>\nverse 14, the cruise shall not<br \/>\nfail. <\/p>\n<p>181<br \/>\n00:12:36,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:41,000<br \/>\nSo a larger doesn&#8217;t say that the<br \/>\nmeal will not go to waste, and <\/p>\n<p>182<br \/>\n00:12:41,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:45,300<br \/>\nthe oil won&#8217;t fail.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s the crews and the barrel, <\/p>\n<p>183<br \/>\n00:12:45,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:47,900<br \/>\nthe don&#8217;t fail as the vessels.<br \/>\nThe don&#8217;t fail, not their <\/p>\n<p>184<br \/>\n00:12:47,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:51,300<br \/>\ncontents, but the vessels<br \/>\nthemselves in verse 16, the <\/p>\n<p>185<br \/>\n00:12:51,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:55,500<br \/>\nbarrel wasted.<br \/>\nThe crews didn&#8217;t fail. <\/p>\n<p>186<br \/>\n00:12:56,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:00,800<br \/>\nSo the miracle takes place in<br \/>\nthe vessels the Widow already <\/p>\n<p>187<br \/>\n00:13:00,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:03,300<br \/>\nhas.<br \/>\nGod isn&#8217;t going to replace the <\/p>\n<p>188<br \/>\n00:13:03,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:07,800<br \/>\nvessels with new ones, but he is<br \/>\ngoing to replace the contents. <\/p>\n<p>189<br \/>\n00:13:08,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:13,500<br \/>\nThe miracle that God works takes<br \/>\nplace inside the people that he <\/p>\n<p>190<br \/>\n00:13:13,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:17,300<br \/>\nis working with the vessels, go<br \/>\nfrom being, almost empty to <\/p>\n<p>191<br \/>\n00:13:17,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:20,500<br \/>\nbecoming sources of oil and<br \/>\nflour. <\/p>\n<p>192<br \/>\n00:13:22,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:25,300<br \/>\nAnd what do the vessels contain<br \/>\nin our analogy? <\/p>\n<p>193<br \/>\n00:13:25,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:27,900<br \/>\nWhat two bodies contain, or they<br \/>\ncontain life? <\/p>\n<p>194<br \/>\n00:13:27,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:29,700<br \/>\nDon&#8217;t they?<br \/>\nThe vessels contain flour and <\/p>\n<p>195<br \/>\n00:13:29,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:33,900<br \/>\noil and flour and oil represent<br \/>\nlife and water represents life <\/p>\n<p>196<br \/>\n00:13:33,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:36,400<br \/>\nto as we&#8217;ll see a little bit<br \/>\nlater, all these things, <\/p>\n<p>197<br \/>\n00:13:36,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:39,500<br \/>\nrepresent the life that they<br \/>\nsustained. <\/p>\n<p>198<br \/>\n00:13:42,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:44,700<br \/>\nSo what does all larger task of<br \/>\nthis Widow? <\/p>\n<p>199<br \/>\n00:13:45,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:49,500<br \/>\nWell it first in verse 10 he<br \/>\njust asked for some water and <\/p>\n<p>200<br \/>\n00:13:49,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:52,700<br \/>\nshe responds, you know,<br \/>\npositively to that she goes to <\/p>\n<p>201<br \/>\n00:13:52,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:57,400<br \/>\nget him some water.<br \/>\nHe begins by asking her for part<\/p>\n<p>202<br \/>\n00:13:57,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:02,600<br \/>\nof her life, just the water.<br \/>\nBut then in verse 11, he asked <\/p>\n<p>203<br \/>\n00:14:02,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:04,400<br \/>\nfor more, doesn&#8217;t he ask for<br \/>\nbread? <\/p>\n<p>204<br \/>\n00:14:05,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:09,600<br \/>\nWhat&#8217;s he asking for here?<br \/>\nWell, he&#8217;s asking for all that <\/p>\n<p>205<br \/>\n00:14:09,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:13,700<br \/>\nshe has is literally asking her<br \/>\nfor her whole life. <\/p>\n<p>206<br \/>\n00:14:14,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:17,300<br \/>\nIf the handful of meal and the<br \/>\nlittle oil in the barrel is all <\/p>\n<p>207<br \/>\n00:14:17,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:19,400<br \/>\nthat stands between her and<br \/>\ndeath. <\/p>\n<p>208<br \/>\n00:14:19,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:23,600<br \/>\nThen a larger is literally<br \/>\nasking for her whole life here. <\/p>\n<p>209<br \/>\n00:14:23,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:26,000<br \/>\nThey&#8217;re not just her life but<br \/>\nthat of her son too. <\/p>\n<p>210<br \/>\n00:14:27,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:31,700<br \/>\nIn the terms of Mark, chapter 12<br \/>\nElijah is asking this Widow for <\/p>\n<p>211<br \/>\n00:14:31,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:36,500<br \/>\nall of her living.<br \/>\nHow does a larger drive this <\/p>\n<p>212<br \/>\n00:14:36,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:39,200<br \/>\npoint home to this Widow.<br \/>\nHow does he show her that God <\/p>\n<p>213<br \/>\n00:14:39,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:42,000<br \/>\nwants all of her life?<br \/>\nNot just part of it. <\/p>\n<p>214<br \/>\n00:14:42,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:45,600<br \/>\nWe, you&#8217;ll notice a pattern in<br \/>\nElijah&#8217;s instructions to this <\/p>\n<p>215<br \/>\n00:14:45,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:50,100<br \/>\nwoman in first, two kings. 17<br \/>\nverse 10, he tells her fetch me <\/p>\n<p>216<br \/>\n00:14:50,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:54,800<br \/>\na little water in First Kings.<br \/>\n17 verse 11, he tells her bring <\/p>\n<p>217<br \/>\n00:14:54,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:59,500<br \/>\nme a morsel.<br \/>\nIn verse 13 about The Keg, he <\/p>\n<p>218<br \/>\n00:14:59,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:06,100<br \/>\nsays bring it to me and in verse<br \/>\n18 the woman&#8217;s son dies and <\/p>\n<p>219<br \/>\n00:15:06,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:08,600<br \/>\nElijah instructs.<br \/>\nThe woman in verse 19. <\/p>\n<p>220<br \/>\n00:15:09,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:13,200<br \/>\nGive me bye son.<br \/>\nThe Widow thought, she&#8217;d given <\/p>\n<p>221<br \/>\n00:15:13,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:16,400<br \/>\nas much as God had asked, she<br \/>\nthought she&#8217;d given everything <\/p>\n<p>222<br \/>\n00:15:16,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:22,900<br \/>\nto God water, flour oil, but God<br \/>\nwants her to give him all her <\/p>\n<p>223<br \/>\n00:15:22,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:25,400<br \/>\nlife.<br \/>\nAnd her life is bound up in her <\/p>\n<p>224<br \/>\n00:15:25,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:28,000<br \/>\nson&#8217;s life.<br \/>\nHe is all her life. <\/p>\n<p>225<br \/>\n00:15:28,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:32,800<br \/>\nAnd finally, God through Elijah<br \/>\nasked for that to give me your <\/p>\n<p>226<br \/>\n00:15:32,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:36,900<br \/>\nson.<br \/>\nAre we prepared to give God all <\/p>\n<p>227<br \/>\n00:15:37,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:41,200<br \/>\nour life?<br \/>\nNow, for most of us and natural <\/p>\n<p>228<br \/>\n00:15:41,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:45,300<br \/>\nlife that God asks for us to<br \/>\ngive to him is not much. <\/p>\n<p>229<br \/>\n00:15:45,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:50,000<br \/>\nMy tiny amount of flour, a few<br \/>\nteaspoons of oil, but he does <\/p>\n<p>230<br \/>\n00:15:50,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:53,500<br \/>\nwant it all.<br \/>\nLove the Widow&#8217;s to meit&#8217;s a <\/p>\n<p>231<br \/>\n00:15:53,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:56,600<br \/>\ncouple of pennies.<br \/>\nThe Widow wasn&#8217;t under any <\/p>\n<p>232<br \/>\n00:15:56,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:58,600<br \/>\ndelusions.<br \/>\nThat are two pennies might have <\/p>\n<p>233<br \/>\n00:15:58,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:02,000<br \/>\nbeen worth anything like what<br \/>\neveryone else was tipping into <\/p>\n<p>234<br \/>\n00:16:02,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:05,500<br \/>\nthe temple collection bags,<br \/>\nworthless really in the overall <\/p>\n<p>235<br \/>\n00:16:05,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:09,500<br \/>\nscheme of things.<br \/>\nBut the key thing is that God <\/p>\n<p>236<br \/>\n00:16:09,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:14,600<br \/>\nwants us to give it all to him.<br \/>\nAnd a larger effectively makes <\/p>\n<p>237<br \/>\n00:16:14,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:16,500<br \/>\nthis Widow confess that the<br \/>\nlife. <\/p>\n<p>238<br \/>\n00:16:16,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:21,000<br \/>\nShe now has a little oil and a<br \/>\nhandful of flour is not much. <\/p>\n<p>239<br \/>\n00:16:21,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:24,400<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s only going to Stave off<br \/>\ntheir death for what another day<\/p>\n<p>240<br \/>\n00:16:24,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:29,000<br \/>\nanother couple of days.<br \/>\nVerse 12, she says that we&#8217;re <\/p>\n<p>241<br \/>\n00:16:29,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:34,500<br \/>\ngoing to eat of it and then die.<br \/>\nAnd yet a larger wants all that.<\/p>\n<p>242<br \/>\n00:16:34,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:39,000<br \/>\nShe has God wants all of our<br \/>\nlife to all the meighan natural <\/p>\n<p>243<br \/>\n00:16:39,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:42,000<br \/>\nlife that we have.<br \/>\nThe life that we might have that<\/p>\n<p>244<br \/>\n00:16:42,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:46,200<br \/>\nmight hold death off or what a<br \/>\nday three score and ten years. <\/p>\n<p>245<br \/>\n00:16:46,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:50,100<br \/>\nPerhaps God wants it all and we<br \/>\nknow that we will receive <\/p>\n<p>246<br \/>\n00:16:50,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:52,800<br \/>\nabundance in return and that&#8217;s<br \/>\nwhat we&#8217;re going to see shortly.<\/p>\n<p>247<br \/>\n00:16:52,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:56,600<br \/>\nBut he still wants us to take<br \/>\nthat step of trusting in Him to <\/p>\n<p>248<br \/>\n00:16:56,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:00,400<br \/>\ngiving him a natural life,<br \/>\ntrusting in Him that he will <\/p>\n<p>249<br \/>\n00:17:00,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:04,599<br \/>\nrespond and give us life.<br \/>\nSooner or casting all our cares,<\/p>\n<p>250<br \/>\n00:17:04,599 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:09,300<br \/>\nupon Him.<br \/>\nAnd Jesus says in Luke chapter <\/p>\n<p>251<br \/>\n00:17:09,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:12,700<br \/>\n14.<br \/>\nSo likewise he be of you, the <\/p>\n<p>252<br \/>\n00:17:12,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:16,800<br \/>\nforsaketh, not all that.<br \/>\nHe hath, he cannot be my <\/p>\n<p>253<br \/>\n00:17:16,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:20,200<br \/>\ndisciple, forsake all that.<br \/>\nHe hath says Jesus. <\/p>\n<p>254<br \/>\n00:17:20,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:24,500<br \/>\nIn Luke 14 only once we have<br \/>\ndone that, can he work with us? <\/p>\n<p>255<br \/>\n00:17:24,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:28,400<br \/>\nOnly once we have given him all<br \/>\nour meager Natural Life. <\/p>\n<p>256<br \/>\n00:17:28,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:32,100<br \/>\nCan he feel our vessels our<br \/>\nbodies with new life? <\/p>\n<p>257<br \/>\n00:17:33,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:36,600<br \/>\nAnd in reality, of course, our<br \/>\nnatural lives are very meager, <\/p>\n<p>258<br \/>\n00:17:36,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:39,900<br \/>\nespecially now, with lockdowns<br \/>\nand isolation. <\/p>\n<p>259<br \/>\n00:17:40,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:43,500<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s a good time.<br \/>\nPerhaps, to review our natural <\/p>\n<p>260<br \/>\n00:17:43,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:46,200<br \/>\nlives and see them for how Mega<br \/>\nthey really are. <\/p>\n<p>261<br \/>\n00:17:46,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:49,200<br \/>\nMany of us have had our<br \/>\ncircumstances much reduced, <\/p>\n<p>262<br \/>\n00:17:49,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:53,500<br \/>\nespecially socially, I guess not<br \/>\nfor me, but other people have <\/p>\n<p>263<br \/>\n00:17:54,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:57,100<br \/>\nfinancially perhaps as well.<br \/>\nHopefully not spiritually <\/p>\n<p>264<br \/>\n00:17:57,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:00,900<br \/>\nthough, but sometimes we don&#8217;t<br \/>\nalways see our lives that way. <\/p>\n<p>265<br \/>\n00:18:00,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:04,500<br \/>\nDo we sometimes think about<br \/>\nnatural life Has a very valuable<\/p>\n<p>266<br \/>\n00:18:04,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:07,200<br \/>\nthing.<br \/>\nWe might find satisfaction in <\/p>\n<p>267<br \/>\n00:18:07,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:10,400<br \/>\nthis life where you might be in<br \/>\nmoney or possessions, but I <\/p>\n<p>268<br \/>\n00:18:10,408 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:14,200<br \/>\nmight be in artistic creation<br \/>\nand might be in in family or <\/p>\n<p>269<br \/>\n00:18:14,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:17,300<br \/>\nsocial relationships.<br \/>\nWe might be finding satisfaction<\/p>\n<p>270<br \/>\n00:18:17,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:21,400<br \/>\nin all those sort of areas.<br \/>\nAnd that might make our Natural <\/p>\n<p>271<br \/>\n00:18:21,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:25,200<br \/>\nLife, seem that it&#8217;s worth more<br \/>\nthan a couple of Lights. <\/p>\n<p>272<br \/>\n00:18:26,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:29,700<br \/>\nRemember the excuses that were<br \/>\nmade not to come to the wedding <\/p>\n<p>273<br \/>\n00:18:30,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:32,500<br \/>\nof the Feast of the wedding,<br \/>\nFeast of the king. <\/p>\n<p>274<br \/>\n00:18:32,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:35,300<br \/>\nIn Luke chapter, 14 again, I&#8217;ve<br \/>\nbrought some oxen, I&#8217;ve married <\/p>\n<p>275<br \/>\n00:18:35,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:37,600<br \/>\na wife, I&#8217;ve bought a piece of<br \/>\nground. <\/p>\n<p>276<br \/>\n00:18:38,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:42,600<br \/>\nAll these excuses, the people<br \/>\nwho value their natural lives, <\/p>\n<p>277<br \/>\n00:18:42,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:46,300<br \/>\nmore than their relationship<br \/>\nwith God, and what they could <\/p>\n<p>278<br \/>\n00:18:46,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:51,000<br \/>\nachieve in those natural lives.<br \/>\nThey valued the more the widows,<\/p>\n<p>279<br \/>\n00:18:51,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:53,900<br \/>\nof course, realize that their<br \/>\nnatural lives were essentially <\/p>\n<p>280<br \/>\n00:18:53,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:57,900<br \/>\nworthless one meal away from<br \/>\nDeath Or slavery. <\/p>\n<p>281<br \/>\n00:18:58,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:01,900<br \/>\nAnd we need to come to that<br \/>\nrealization to from a spiritual <\/p>\n<p>282<br \/>\n00:19:01,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:04,300<br \/>\nperspective, our natural life is<br \/>\nnot valuable. <\/p>\n<p>283<br \/>\n00:19:04,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:08,700<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s a life of debt.<br \/>\nWe&#8217;re two mites at most and we <\/p>\n<p>284<br \/>\n00:19:08,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:13,300<br \/>\nneed to recognize that.<br \/>\nWhat&#8217;s the result of this Widow <\/p>\n<p>285<br \/>\n00:19:13,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:15,800<br \/>\ngiving her whole life?<br \/>\nAll that she has? <\/p>\n<p>286<br \/>\n00:19:16,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:20,000<br \/>\nWell, a larger promises, her<br \/>\nlife and return, doesn&#8217;t he? <\/p>\n<p>287<br \/>\n00:19:20,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:23,700<br \/>\nBut it&#8217;s not just the temporary<br \/>\nlife that she was expecting, but<\/p>\n<p>288<br \/>\n00:19:23,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:29,200<br \/>\nlife eternal have a look at<br \/>\nverse 14, the oil and the flower<\/p>\n<p>289<br \/>\n00:19:29,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:32,300<br \/>\nwould last until God sends rain<br \/>\nupon the earth. <\/p>\n<p>290<br \/>\n00:19:32,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:36,100<br \/>\nA bit of a vision of the<br \/>\nKingdom, perhaps verse 15. <\/p>\n<p>291<br \/>\n00:19:36,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:41,600<br \/>\nShe ate of this many days, verse<br \/>\n16, the barrel wasted, not the <\/p>\n<p>292<br \/>\n00:19:41,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:44,800<br \/>\ncrews didn&#8217;t fail.<br \/>\nIt sounds almost as if they were<\/p>\n<p>293<br \/>\n00:19:44,800 &#8211;&gt;

00:19:55,700<br \/>\nlack or a want.<br \/>\nIt means a debt and never fell <\/p>\n<p>296<br \/>\n00:19:55,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:58,500<br \/>\ninto debt.<br \/>\nJust like the Widow and Mark, <\/p>\n<p>297<br \/>\n00:19:58,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:02,700<br \/>\nthat same word penury or want<br \/>\nthe oil would not fall into <\/p>\n<p>298<br \/>\n00:20:02,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:08,100<br \/>\ndeficit, it would cover her<br \/>\ndebt, it would cover her need so<\/p>\n<p>299<br \/>\n00:20:08,100 &#8211;&gt;

00:20:54,900<br \/>\nchapter 4.<br \/>\nSo turn over a few pages to <\/p>\n<p>312<br \/>\n00:20:54,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:59,900<br \/>\nSecond and Kings for And this<br \/>\nwoman strangely is not actually <\/p>\n<p>313<br \/>\n00:20:59,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:04,700<br \/>\ncalled a widow.<br \/>\nBut we know she is one because <\/p>\n<p>314<br \/>\n00:21:04,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:09,100<br \/>\nshe tells us in second Kings,<br \/>\nchapter 4, and verse one, that <\/p>\n<p>315<br \/>\n00:21:09,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:12,700<br \/>\nher husband is dead.<br \/>\nThey cried a certain woman of <\/p>\n<p>316<br \/>\n00:21:12,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:14,500<br \/>\nthe wires of the sons of the<br \/>\nProphet unto. <\/p>\n<p>317<br \/>\n00:21:14,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:19,800<br \/>\nElijah saying, thy servant my<br \/>\nhusband is dead and now knowest <\/p>\n<p>318<br \/>\n00:21:19,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:22,700<br \/>\nthat thy servant did fear the<br \/>\nlord and the Creditor has come <\/p>\n<p>319<br \/>\n00:21:22,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:25,500<br \/>\nto take unto him, my two sons to<br \/>\nbe bomb. <\/p>\n<p>320<br \/>\n00:21:25,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:30,300<br \/>\nAnd so this woman like the woman<br \/>\nin in Mark 12 is a widow and <\/p>\n<p>321<br \/>\n00:21:30,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:32,600<br \/>\nshe&#8217;s got creditors, the<br \/>\ncreditors have come to take my <\/p>\n<p>322<br \/>\n00:21:32,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:35,400<br \/>\ntwo sons.<br \/>\nShe says, so she is in deficit, <\/p>\n<p>323<br \/>\n00:21:35,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:40,000<br \/>\nshe&#8217;s in wants, she&#8217;s in debt<br \/>\nAnd like Elijah&#8217;s Widow. <\/p>\n<p>324<br \/>\n00:21:40,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:44,500<br \/>\nAs verse 2 says, she has nothing<br \/>\nin our house, save a pot of oil.<\/p>\n<p>325<br \/>\n00:21:45,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:49,100<br \/>\na vessel with some oil in it,<br \/>\nbut obviously not enough oil to <\/p>\n<p>326<br \/>\n00:21:49,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:54,800<br \/>\npay her debt Now this woman has<br \/>\ntwo sons so there&#8217;s that. <\/p>\n<p>327<br \/>\n00:21:54,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:58,200<br \/>\nNumber two again, two mites, two<br \/>\nsticks, two sons hurt. <\/p>\n<p>328<br \/>\n00:21:58,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:01,500<br \/>\nAnd the debt is large enough.<br \/>\nThat both of them are going to <\/p>\n<p>329<br \/>\n00:22:01,508 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:05,800<br \/>\nbe become slaves to pay it off.<br \/>\nJust one son would be <\/p>\n<p>330<br \/>\n00:22:05,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:09,800<br \/>\ninsufficient.<br \/>\nBoth sons have to be sold And <\/p>\n<p>331<br \/>\n00:22:09,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:13,900<br \/>\nthe sons as who sees as her<br \/>\nDescendants, the literal <\/p>\n<p>332<br \/>\n00:22:13,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:17,800<br \/>\nextensions of her life, they<br \/>\nrepresent life to this woman, <\/p>\n<p>333<br \/>\n00:22:17,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:20,500<br \/>\ndon&#8217;t they?<br \/>\nAnd this woman is surrounded by <\/p>\n<p>334<br \/>\n00:22:20,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:23,100<br \/>\na loss of life, isn&#8217;t she?<br \/>\nOur husbands died? <\/p>\n<p>335<br \/>\n00:22:23,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:27,100<br \/>\nHis sons are about to become<br \/>\nslaves from a family of four. <\/p>\n<p>336<br \/>\n00:22:27,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:31,400<br \/>\nShe&#8217;s about to be reduced to<br \/>\njust one and natural life has <\/p>\n<p>337<br \/>\n00:22:31,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:36,600<br \/>\nbecome tiny.<br \/>\nSo in verse 3, Elijah Elijah <\/p>\n<p>338<br \/>\n00:22:37,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:40,700<br \/>\ntells her to borrow empty<br \/>\nvessels from her neighbors and <\/p>\n<p>339<br \/>\n00:22:40,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:46,000<br \/>\nfill them from her vessel.<br \/>\nSo remember second Corinthians, <\/p>\n<p>340<br \/>\n00:22:46,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:49,400<br \/>\nchapter 4, we&#8217;ve got this<br \/>\ntreasure in Earthen vessels, <\/p>\n<p>341<br \/>\n00:22:49,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:53,200<br \/>\nvessels represent, bodies.<br \/>\nThey represent people and this <\/p>\n<p>342<br \/>\n00:22:53,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:56,200<br \/>\nWidow and almost empty vessel<br \/>\nherself. <\/p>\n<p>343<br \/>\n00:22:56,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:00,100<br \/>\nBecome surrounded by empty<br \/>\nvessels, the empty vessels of <\/p>\n<p>344<br \/>\n00:23:00,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:05,000<br \/>\nher neighbors, and her aim is to<br \/>\nfill these vessels with oil from<\/p>\n<p>345<br \/>\n00:23:05,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:09,800<br \/>\nher own vessel.<br \/>\nEmpty lifeless, bodies become <\/p>\n<p>346<br \/>\n00:23:09,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:13,600<br \/>\nfilled with life and they&#8217;re<br \/>\nfilled with life from a vessel <\/p>\n<p>347<br \/>\n00:23:13,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:18,100<br \/>\nthat was almost empty itself.<br \/>\nSo again this miracle takes <\/p>\n<p>348<br \/>\n00:23:18,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:22,500<br \/>\nplace in the Widow&#8217;s vessel, we<br \/>\ndo that was bereft of life <\/p>\n<p>349<br \/>\n00:23:22,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:27,700<br \/>\nbecomes a source of life.<br \/>\nAnd a couple of other things <\/p>\n<p>350<br \/>\n00:23:27,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:31,300<br \/>\nabout this miracle first, the<br \/>\nWidow doesn&#8217;t actually know that<\/p>\n<p>351<br \/>\n00:23:31,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:35,300<br \/>\nshe&#8217;s going to sell the oil<br \/>\nuntil verse 7 is not until she&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>352<br \/>\n00:23:35,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:38,900<br \/>\nfilled the vessels that Allah<br \/>\nshould then tells her once. <\/p>\n<p>353<br \/>\n00:23:38,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:41,200<br \/>\nShe has taught him.<br \/>\nAll the vessels are full A-line <\/p>\n<p>354<br \/>\n00:23:41,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:44,800<br \/>\nshape, then tells her to sell<br \/>\nthe oil while she&#8217;s filling up. <\/p>\n<p>355<br \/>\n00:23:44,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:47,100<br \/>\nHer neighbors vessels.<br \/>\nShe&#8217;s not aware that she&#8217;s going<\/p>\n<p>356<br \/>\n00:23:47,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:49,400<br \/>\nto be able to convert all this<br \/>\ninto cash. <\/p>\n<p>357<br \/>\n00:23:50,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:52,200<br \/>\nShe might well, have assumed<br \/>\nthat she was filling up her <\/p>\n<p>358<br \/>\n00:23:52,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:54,900<br \/>\nneighbors vessels, just to give<br \/>\nthem back to her neighbors. <\/p>\n<p>359<br \/>\n00:23:56,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:58,100<br \/>\nShe may well have assumed that<br \/>\nour neighbors were going to be <\/p>\n<p>360<br \/>\n00:23:58,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:24:00,700<br \/>\nthe beneficiaries of this<br \/>\nmiracle not herself. <\/p>\n<p>361<br \/>\n00:24:01,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:24:05,900<br \/>\nIn her mind, she become the<br \/>\nrecipient oil of oil of life <\/p>\n<p>362<br \/>\n00:24:06,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:24:08,500<br \/>\nthat she was giving to her<br \/>\nneighbors. <\/p>\n<p>363<br \/>\n00:24:10,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:24:14,200<br \/>\nAnd secondly notice what runs<br \/>\nout first in verse 6 of second <\/p>\n<p>364<br \/>\n00:24:14,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:24:19,000<br \/>\nKings chapter four, the woman<br \/>\nsays, bring me yet a vessel and <\/p>\n<p>365<br \/>\n00:24:19,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:24:24,700<br \/>\nhe that&#8217;s her son says unto her.<br \/>\nThere is not a vessel more and <\/p>\n<p>366<br \/>\n00:24:24,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:24:30,300<br \/>\nthe oil stayed So what ran out<br \/>\nfirst was that the oil or the <\/p>\n<p>367<br \/>\n00:24:30,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:24:33,500<br \/>\nvessels, it was clearly the<br \/>\nvessels, wasn&#8217;t it. <\/p>\n<p>368<br \/>\n00:24:34,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:24:38,100<br \/>\nThe oil didn&#8217;t stop flowing<br \/>\nuntil there were no more vessels<\/p>\n<p>369<br \/>\n00:24:38,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:24:42,200<br \/>\nto feel in symbol, the life<br \/>\ndidn&#8217;t stop flowing. <\/p>\n<p>370<br \/>\n00:24:42,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:24:45,100<br \/>\nUntil there were no more people<br \/>\nto hold it. <\/p>\n<p>371<br \/>\n00:24:46,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:24:50,900<br \/>\nLife from God is not limited by<br \/>\nSupply. <\/p>\n<p>372<br \/>\n00:24:51,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:24:55,100<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s only limited by demand.<br \/>\nThere&#8217;s no shortage of spirit <\/p>\n<p>373<br \/>\n00:24:55,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:24:59,400<br \/>\nlife God can give life to as<br \/>\nmany people as wanted. <\/p>\n<p>374<br \/>\n00:25:00,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:04,900<br \/>\nOur as in Humanities desire, is<br \/>\nthe only limiting factor to <\/p>\n<p>375<br \/>\n00:25:04,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:08,500<br \/>\nGod&#8217;s gift.<br \/>\nThe people that want life are <\/p>\n<p>376<br \/>\n00:25:08,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:11,800<br \/>\ngoing to run our world war for<br \/>\nthe supply of that life. <\/p>\n<p>377<br \/>\n00:25:13,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:17,200<br \/>\nSo instead of a debt instead of<br \/>\na deficit of life, this Widow <\/p>\n<p>378<br \/>\n00:25:17,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:21,000<br \/>\nhas become a source of life in<br \/>\nverse 7. <\/p>\n<p>379<br \/>\n00:25:21,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:27,100<br \/>\nElijah says, sell the oil, pay<br \/>\nthe debt and live, thou, and thy<\/p>\n<p>380<br \/>\n00:25:27,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:30,400<br \/>\nChildren of the rest lives as<br \/>\nElijah. <\/p>\n<p>381<br \/>\n00:25:30,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:34,500<br \/>\nYes.<br \/>\nElisha in this case, life, that <\/p>\n<p>382<br \/>\n00:25:34,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:36,400<br \/>\nis the point of this miracle,<br \/>\nisn&#8217;t it? <\/p>\n<p>383<br \/>\n00:25:37,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:41,200<br \/>\nThe woman now has abundance of<br \/>\nlife and her son&#8217;s live as well <\/p>\n<p>384<br \/>\n00:25:41,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:43,200<br \/>\nbecause of this miracle.<br \/>\nCool. <\/p>\n<p>385<br \/>\n00:25:45,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:49,100<br \/>\nSo, think about this in relation<br \/>\nto the new life that is within <\/p>\n<p>386<br \/>\n00:25:49,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:53,200<br \/>\nus now.<br \/>\nWe don&#8217;t create that you life in<\/p>\n<p>387<br \/>\n00:25:53,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:54,100<br \/>\nus.<br \/>\nDo we screw it? <\/p>\n<p>388<br \/>\n00:25:54,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:57,000<br \/>\nLife is not ours.<br \/>\nWe haven&#8217;t provided it. <\/p>\n<p>389<br \/>\n00:25:57,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:00,600<br \/>\nWe haven&#8217;t labored for it.<br \/>\nIt doesn&#8217;t come out of our store<\/p>\n<p>390<br \/>\n00:26:00,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:04,300<br \/>\nhouse that we have at all, is a<br \/>\nmiracle. <\/p>\n<p>391<br \/>\n00:26:04,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:10,100<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s Supernatural beyond our<br \/>\ndoing Now launch is Widow would <\/p>\n<p>392<br \/>\n00:26:10,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:13,000<br \/>\nnever have claimed that.<br \/>\nThe the crew is produced in the <\/p>\n<p>393<br \/>\n00:26:13,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:16,200<br \/>\noil or the or the barrel<br \/>\nproduced in the flowers ever of <\/p>\n<p>394<br \/>\n00:26:16,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:18,900<br \/>\nher doing.<br \/>\nIt was clearly a miracle. <\/p>\n<p>395<br \/>\n00:26:19,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:22,200<br \/>\nElijah&#8217;s Widow would have<br \/>\nlaughed at you if you&#8217;d <\/p>\n<p>396<br \/>\n00:26:22,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:26,000<br \/>\nsuggested that supply of oil<br \/>\nfrom her Barrel was a product of<\/p>\n<p>397<br \/>\n00:26:26,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:31,100<br \/>\nher own powers and her own work.<br \/>\nIt was clearly a miracle. <\/p>\n<p>398<br \/>\n00:26:32,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:35,100<br \/>\nAnd yet, sometimes we might be a<br \/>\nlittle bit tempted to think that<\/p>\n<p>399<br \/>\n00:26:35,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:39,600<br \/>\nsome of the goodness that&#8217;s<br \/>\nwithin us comes out of us and <\/p>\n<p>400<br \/>\n00:26:39,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:43,200<br \/>\nit&#8217;s from our own creation, our<br \/>\nown effort our own works. <\/p>\n<p>401<br \/>\n00:26:44,000 &#8211;&gt;

00:32:04,900<br \/>\nAnd verse 30, they went out of<br \/>\nthe city and came unto him. <\/p>\n<p>482<br \/>\n00:32:05,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:32:09,800<br \/>\nSo this woman and empty vessel<br \/>\nliving a life of sin lacking and<\/p>\n<p>483<br \/>\n00:32:09,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:32:14,200<br \/>\nwater in life has become a<br \/>\nFountain of Living Waters to <\/p>\n<p>484<br \/>\n00:32:14,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:32:18,500<br \/>\nher.<br \/>\nEntire City, verse 39, and many <\/p>\n<p>485<br \/>\n00:32:18,500 &#8211;&gt;

00:32:28,500<br \/>\nAll her neighbors.<br \/>\nEmpty vessels. <\/p>\n<p>488<br \/>\n00:32:28,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:32:32,500<br \/>\nJust like Elijah&#8217;s Widow.<br \/>\nShe doesn&#8217;t need her empty <\/p>\n<p>489<br \/>\n00:32:32,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:32:36,800<br \/>\nvessel anymore because she is<br \/>\nnow a well, she has become the <\/p>\n<p>490<br \/>\n00:32:36,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:32:39,700<br \/>\nsource of water.<br \/>\nShe&#8217;s busy filling up, her <\/p>\n<p>491<br \/>\n00:32:39,700 &#8211;&gt;

00:32:52,500<br \/>\nCome back to Mark, chapter 12,<br \/>\nwhere we started from? <\/p>\n<p>494<br \/>\n00:32:55,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:33:00,200<br \/>\nMark chapter 12 and notice how<br \/>\nJesus really just sums up these <\/p>\n<p>495<br \/>\n00:33:00,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:33:03,100<br \/>\nall these lessons that we&#8217;ve<br \/>\nseen in the other three separate<\/p>\n<p>496<br \/>\n00:33:03,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:33:10,900<br \/>\nwomen in this one, destitute<br \/>\nWidow verse 44 again she of her <\/p>\n<p>497<br \/>\n00:33:10,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:33:13,300<br \/>\nwant.<br \/>\nSo from there we learned that we<\/p>\n<p>498<br \/>\n00:33:13,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:33:17,200<br \/>\ncome to God with a deficit, a<br \/>\ndebt, a spiritual deficit <\/p>\n<p>499<br \/>\n00:33:17,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:33:22,000<br \/>\nbecause of our sins and he wants<br \/>\nus to acknowledge that debt to <\/p>\n<p>500<br \/>\n00:33:22,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:33:24,000<br \/>\nadmit that we have really<br \/>\nnothing. <\/p>\n<p>501<br \/>\n00:33:25,400 &#8211;&gt;

00:34:10,800<br \/>\nWhat we have?<br \/>\nWe give it all to him first but <\/p>\n<p>512<br \/>\n00:34:10,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:34:14,400<br \/>\nwe know of course that we&#8217;re<br \/>\ngoing to receive back life in <\/p>\n<p>513<br \/>\n00:34:14,400 &#8211;&gt;
