1
\n00:00:13,900 –> 00:00:15,600
\nWelcome to good for selfie and
\ntalks. <\/p>\n

2
\n00:00:15,600 –> 00:00:19,300
\nI’m Levi and I’m Chris and I’m
\nBrian, thank you for joining us <\/p>\n

3
\n00:00:19,300 –> 00:00:21,900
\nthis week.
\nOn this podcast, we select one <\/p>\n

4
\n00:00:21,900 –> 00:00:26,400
\ntaco week to help us get the
\nBible in our daily news feed. <\/p>\n

5
\n00:00:26,500 –> 00:00:29,300
\nWe post a new episode of the
\nstart of each week with a short <\/p>\n

6
\n00:00:29,300 –> 00:00:31,400
\nintro before.
\nHand to kind of set the stage <\/p>\n

7
\n00:00:31,400 –> 00:00:33,600
\nfor the talk.
\nYou’re about to listen to and <\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:33,600 –> 00:00:36,300
\nnow let’s talk more about this
\nweek’s talk. <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:50,900 –> 00:00:53,100
\nWelcome to the good Chris set up
\nin talks podcast. <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:53,500 –> 00:00:56,500
\nThis is brother Brian.
\nThis week’s talk is an <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:56,500 –> 00:00:58,800
\nexcitation by brother, Matthew,
\nblew it. <\/p>\n

12
\n00:00:59,000 –> 00:01:04,400
\nThat was given way back in 2001
\nat the Idlewild Bible camp and <\/p>\n

13
\n00:01:04,400 –> 00:01:08,500
\nthe title of the excitation is
\nare we accepting God’s call? <\/p>\n

14
\n00:01:10,200 –> 00:01:13,400
\nThe premise is that as you try
\nto call someone with something <\/p>\n

15
\n00:01:13,400 –> 00:01:18,700
\nurgent, the phone rings and
\nrings and goes to voicemail. <\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:20,000 –> 00:01:23,500
\nBut you had no desire to leave a
\nmessage and then wait for them <\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:23,500 –> 00:01:25,200
\nto get around to calling you
\nback. <\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:26,200 –> 00:01:30,300
\nYou were calling was something
\nincredibly important and you <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:30,308 –> 00:01:33,500
\nneeded a response, not an
\nanswering machine. <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:34,700 –> 00:01:37,200
\nBecause you might not call
\nagain. <\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:39,400 –> 00:01:42,500
\nBrother, Matthew uses this
\nanalogy to consider how God <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:42,500 –> 00:01:46,700
\nlooks for us to be eager to
\nreceive his message and to act <\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:46,700 –> 00:01:51,400
\non it in our lives and not to
\nfind better things to do first <\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:52,000 –> 00:01:54,400
\nbefore we get around to
\nanswering the call. <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:54,400 –> 00:01:59,800
\nThat’s been set before us.
\nThere are a number of great <\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:59,800 –> 00:02:03,000
\nscriptural, metaphors, that he
\ndies in such as the tale of the <\/p>\n

27
\n00:02:03,000 –> 00:02:07,400
\ntwo who wish to follow Jesus.
\nBut then give excuses for why <\/p>\n

28
\n00:02:07,400 –> 00:02:08,900
\nthey couldn’t follow
\nimmediately. <\/p>\n

29
\n00:02:10,600 –> 00:02:14,600
\nAnd on the whole in our
\ngeneration of instant messaging <\/p>\n

30
\n00:02:14,600 –> 00:02:19,300
\nin all forms, I still found it
\nto be a punch in the gut <\/p>\n

31
\n00:02:19,600 –> 00:02:23,700
\nrelating, how easy it is.
\nSometimes when you see a call <\/p>\n

32
\n00:02:23,700 –> 00:02:28,500
\ncome through on your phone to
\njust brush it off because you’re<\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:28,500 –> 00:02:32,200
\nnot in the mood, or maybe at
\nleast you’re not in the mood, <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:32,200 –> 00:02:36,600
\nfor that person who is calling
\nand whatever they might want. <\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:38,300 –> 00:02:40,000
\nSo it was a very humbling
\nreminder. <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:41,700 –> 00:02:46,500
\nFor us to consider how available
\nor not, we make ourselves for <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:46,500 –> 00:02:50,800
\nthe things of the truth.
\nI found it to be a very <\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:50,800 –> 00:02:56,200
\nmemorable and impactful message.
\nSo as always, we hope this <\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:56,200 –> 00:02:59,900
\nstrengthens your faith and
\nbrightens your day brother, <\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:59,900 –> 00:03:04,100
\nMatthew blew it, are you
\nanswering God’s call my dear <\/p>\n

41
\n00:03:04,100 –> 00:03:07,300
\nbrothers and sisters?
\nI’d like to take this <\/p>\n

42
\n00:03:07,300 –> 00:03:12,200
\nopportunity first up to express.
\nMy thanks for the privilege that<\/p>\n

43
\n00:03:12,400 –> 00:03:15,700
\nmy wife and our family of head
\nof sharing this wonderful week <\/p>\n

44
\n00:03:15,700 –> 00:03:18,000
\nof fellowship.
\nWith all of you, it’s been an <\/p>\n

45
\n00:03:18,000 –> 00:03:22,500
\nincredible time for us to enjoy
\nFellowship so far from home. <\/p>\n

46
\n00:03:23,000 –> 00:03:27,600
\nAnd indeed we have been
\nimpressed by the friendships <\/p>\n

47
\n00:03:27,600 –> 00:03:31,100
\nthat we have gained and the
\nwonderful studies around your <\/p>\n

48
\n00:03:31,100 –> 00:03:34,000
\nthe word and it has been a
\nwonderful privilege for us and <\/p>\n

49
\n00:03:34,500 –> 00:03:37,700
\nwe’ll take home.
\nVery happy memories. we really <\/p>\n

50
\n00:03:37,700 –> 00:03:41,800
\nbelieve that you have a very
\nspecial family over here, and it<\/p>\n

51
\n00:03:41,800 –> 00:03:47,000
\ngives us much encouragement as
\nwe return to Africa, Hello. <\/p>\n

52
\n00:03:47,000 –> 00:03:50,000
\nThis is Matthew speaking.
\nI’m sorry, I’m not available <\/p>\n

53
\n00:03:50,000 –> 00:03:53,700
\nright now but if you leave a
\nmessage, I’ll get back to you as<\/p>\n

54
\n00:03:53,700 –> 00:03:57,000
\nsoon as possible.
\nI wonder how many of you get <\/p>\n

55
\n00:03:57,000 –> 00:04:01,000
\nthese kind of messages and with
\nthe introduction of cell phones,<\/p>\n

56
\n00:04:01,000 –> 00:04:02,800
\nmore and more people, having
\ncell phones. <\/p>\n

57
\n00:04:03,000 –> 00:04:07,300
\nWe tend to get messages more and
\nmore I don’t know if you’re the <\/p>\n

58
\n00:04:07,300 –> 00:04:10,500
\nsame as me but often it’s quite
\nfrustrating to get a message <\/p>\n

59
\n00:04:10,700 –> 00:04:13,200
\nespecially if you need to talk
\nto someone urgently and you need<\/p>\n

60
\n00:04:13,200 –> 00:04:15,300
\nto get some information across
\nto them. <\/p>\n

61
\n00:04:16,500 –> 00:04:21,700
\nI’m not available right now.
\nWe’re often not available for <\/p>\n

62
\n00:04:21,700 –> 00:04:24,000
\nothers.
\nMore importantly, brother and <\/p>\n

63
\n00:04:24,000 –> 00:04:29,400
\nsisters were often not available
\nfor God, as he makes his core to<\/p>\n

64
\n00:04:29,400 –> 00:04:31,300
\nus.
\nHow many times does he here? <\/p>\n

65
\n00:04:32,100 –> 00:04:35,500
\nI’m sorry, but I’m not available
\nright now. <\/p>\n

66
\n00:04:36,700 –> 00:04:39,800
\nGod requires you see our
\navailability, both for him. <\/p>\n

67
\n00:04:39,800 –> 00:04:43,900
\nAnd for our neighbors, all of
\nthe time being available as one <\/p>\n

68
\n00:04:43,900 –> 00:04:46,200
\nof the cornerstones of Christian
\ndiscipleship. <\/p>\n

69
\n00:04:47,100 –> 00:04:50,300
\nAnd as we have been encouraged
\nduring this week, And as we have<\/p>\n

70
\n00:04:50,300 –> 00:04:54,200
\nbeen filled up spiritually, and
\nfor most of us, we leave this <\/p>\n

71
\n00:04:54,200 –> 00:04:57,600
\nplace enthusiastic and
\npassionate about the word of God<\/p>\n

72
\n00:04:57,600 –> 00:05:01,200
\nas we enter the mundane routine
\nof life. <\/p>\n

73
\n00:05:01,700 –> 00:05:04,900
\nWill we make ourselves available
\nfor God? <\/p>\n

74
\n00:05:05,300 –> 00:05:09,800
\nAnd for our fellow disciples?
\nWill we use the encouragement <\/p>\n

75
\n00:05:09,800 –> 00:05:13,000
\nand the refreshing that we have
\nreceived during this week? <\/p>\n

76
\n00:05:14,000 –> 00:05:17,400
\nTo serve the Brotherhood and the
\ncommunity at large. <\/p>\n

77
\n00:05:18,300 –> 00:05:22,400
\nYou see Jesus requires our
\navailability just as he required<\/p>\n

78
\n00:05:22,400 –> 00:05:24,200
\nthe availability of his
\ndisciples. <\/p>\n

79
\n00:05:24,400 –> 00:05:27,100
\nWe read this in Mark chapter 3
\nand verse 13. <\/p>\n

80
\n00:05:27,900 –> 00:05:31,800
\nAnd Jesus went up into a
\nmountain and called unto him <\/p>\n

81
\n00:05:31,900 –> 00:05:35,800
\nwhom he would, and they came
\nunto him and he ordained twelve,<\/p>\n

82
\n00:05:35,800 –> 00:05:38,700
\nthat they should be with them
\nthat he might send them forth to<\/p>\n

83
\n00:05:38,700 –> 00:05:42,500
\npreach and it sounds so easy.
\nAs we read those words and they <\/p>\n

84
\n00:05:42,500 –> 00:05:45,800
\ncame unto Him.
\nWhat does that mean? <\/p>\n

85
\n00:05:45,800 –> 00:05:49,000
\nIt means that meant that when
\nJesus called them they were <\/p>\n

86
\n00:05:49,000 –> 00:05:51,800
\navailable, there were no
\nexcuses. <\/p>\n

87
\n00:05:52,100 –> 00:05:54,100
\nThere was no hesitation on their
\npart. <\/p>\n

88
\n00:05:54,800 –> 00:05:58,100
\nThey made themselves available.
\nIt was an unconditional <\/p>\n

89
\n00:05:58,400 –> 00:06:02,100
\navailability and that’s used
\ngospel tells us that there’s <\/p>\n

90
\n00:06:02,100 –> 00:06:05,900
\navailability came at a cost and
\nwe know this Jesus said to them <\/p>\n

91
\n00:06:05,900 –> 00:06:08,500
\nfollow me and I will make you
\nFishers of Men and they <\/p>\n

92
\n00:06:08,500 –> 00:06:10,400
\nstraightway left their Nets and
\nfollowed him. <\/p>\n

93
\n00:06:11,000 –> 00:06:13,600
\nAnd going on from thence.
\nHe saw two other Brethren James <\/p>\n

94
\n00:06:13,800 –> 00:06:16,400
\nZebedee and John his brother and
\na ship was already, their father<\/p>\n

95
\n00:06:16,700 –> 00:06:18,200
\nmending, the Nets, and he called
\nthem. <\/p>\n

96
\n00:06:18,300 –> 00:06:20,600
\nAnd immediately, they left the
\nship and their father and they <\/p>\n

97
\n00:06:20,600 –> 00:06:22,900
\nfollowed him and the message of
\nthe example. <\/p>\n

98
\n00:06:22,900 –> 00:06:26,400
\nThe 12 is clear.
\nHere are men that were prepared <\/p>\n

99
\n00:06:26,400 –> 00:06:30,500
\nto give up many things that they
\nhad plans for you. <\/p>\n

100
\n00:06:30,500 –> 00:06:33,200
\nCan imagine Peter and Andrew had
\na great business going, it would<\/p>\n

101
\n00:06:33,200 –> 00:06:37,100
\nseem they have the own boat.
\nThey had the prospects maybe of <\/p>\n

102
\n00:06:37,100 –> 00:06:40,500
\ngetting another boat and and
\nmaybe a good fishing season was <\/p>\n

103
\n00:06:40,500 –> 00:06:43,200
\ncoming and they discuss what
\nthey would do and the next <\/p>\n

104
\n00:06:43,200 –> 00:06:45,900
\nvacation.
\nOcean that they were playing but<\/p>\n

105
\n00:06:45,900 –> 00:06:49,600
\nall of this had to be put aside
\nwhen the pork came from Jesus <\/p>\n

106
\n00:06:50,300 –> 00:06:54,300
\nand they made themselves
\navailable and for James and John<\/p>\n

107
\n00:06:54,300 –> 00:06:57,500
\nit went even further because the
\nrecord said and they lift their <\/p>\n

108
\n00:06:57,500 –> 00:07:01,500
\nfather, you can imagine the
\nexcuses, we could have put <\/p>\n

109
\n00:07:01,500 –> 00:07:04,200
\ntogether their the father was
\nbecoming old. <\/p>\n

110
\n00:07:04,200 –> 00:07:06,300
\nHe needed his sons to help them
\nin the business. <\/p>\n

111
\n00:07:07,200 –> 00:07:12,300
\nAnd yet, even in this situation
\nthey made themselves available. <\/p>\n

112
\n00:07:13,400 –> 00:07:19,300
\nThey came unto him, a simple
\nlittle phrase with so much power<\/p>\n

113
\n00:07:19,300 –> 00:07:22,000
\nbehind it.
\nBut not all of the disciples <\/p>\n

114
\n00:07:22,100 –> 00:07:24,300
\nthat Jesus called were
\navailable. <\/p>\n

115
\n00:07:24,900 –> 00:07:27,900
\nAnd we can learn from those who
\nwere available and from those <\/p>\n

116
\n00:07:27,900 –> 00:07:31,300
\nwho were unavailable come with
\nme to Luke chapter 9 and we <\/p>\n

117
\n00:07:31,400 –> 00:07:34,700
\nlearn about two disciples who
\nwere unavailable for the Lord, <\/p>\n

118
\n00:07:34,700 –> 00:07:37,000
\nJesus Christ.
\nYou see? <\/p>\n

119
\n00:07:37,100 –> 00:07:39,700
\nGod is not interested in getting
\nour message box. <\/p>\n

120
\n00:07:40,100 –> 00:07:42,700
\nHe has no time for our message
\nbox. <\/p>\n

121
\n00:07:43,200 –> 00:07:47,700
\nAs soon as possible is not good
\nenough for God, it’s about now, <\/p>\n

122
\n00:07:48,000 –> 00:07:50,300
\nit’s about being available right
\nnow. <\/p>\n

123
\n00:07:50,800 –> 00:07:53,800
\nAt verse 59, Jesus said unto
\nanother follow me, but he said, <\/p>\n

124
\n00:07:53,800 –> 00:07:55,300
\nLord, suffer me first to go and
\nbury. <\/p>\n

125
\n00:07:55,300 –> 00:07:58,300
\nMy father, Jesus said unto him,
\nlet the dead bury their dead, <\/p>\n

126
\n00:07:58,300 –> 00:08:00,200
\nbut go there and preach the
\nkingdom of God. <\/p>\n

127
\n00:08:00,900 –> 00:08:03,200
\nAnd when we read those words,
\nthey seem harsh at first <\/p>\n

128
\n00:08:03,200 –> 00:08:06,500
\nreading, Here was a man who
\nwanted to bury his father. <\/p>\n

129
\n00:08:07,400 –> 00:08:10,800
\nIt doesn’t seem like an an
\nunreasonable request to delay <\/p>\n

130
\n00:08:10,800 –> 00:08:15,200
\ndiscipleship.
\nAnd, and Jesus uses two <\/p>\n

131
\n00:08:15,200 –> 00:08:18,000
\nexamples, your and both
\nexamples, he gives probably the <\/p>\n

132
\n00:08:18,000 –> 00:08:20,700
\nbest excuses.
\nWe could think of for why we <\/p>\n

133
\n00:08:20,700 –> 00:08:25,500
\nshould not be available and he
\ndiscounts them both and I think,<\/p>\n

134
\n00:08:25,500 –> 00:08:28,100
\nalthough we can explain away
\nwhat was being mean to you? <\/p>\n

135
\n00:08:28,100 –> 00:08:32,500
\nI think that’s the power of the
\nmessage that there is nothing in<\/p>\n

136
\n00:08:32,500 –> 00:08:35,700
\nthis world that should make us
\nunavailable for his core. <\/p>\n

137
\n00:08:36,100 –> 00:08:40,200
\nWe ever, we may be in our lives.
\nIf we understand that call, we <\/p>\n

138
\n00:08:40,200 –> 00:08:42,400
\nshould be making ourselves
\navailable for it. <\/p>\n

139
\n00:08:42,900 –> 00:08:46,600
\nJesus was warning here, I
\nbelieve of an attitude, rather <\/p>\n

140
\n00:08:46,600 –> 00:08:49,700
\nthan the exact example that was
\nbeing given, but an attitude <\/p>\n

141
\n00:08:49,700 –> 00:08:54,000
\nthat sought for reasons, for why
\na man would not be willing to <\/p>\n

142
\n00:08:54,000 –> 00:08:58,600
\nfollow Jesus and this man and
\nLuke chapter 9, and verse 59, I <\/p>\n

143
\n00:08:58,600 –> 00:09:02,500
\ncall him the procrastinator and
\nwe can see it as he answers <\/p>\n

144
\n00:09:02,500 –> 00:09:04,500
\nJesus.
\nAnd said, Jesus said to him, <\/p>\n

145
\n00:09:04,500 –> 00:09:06,500
\nfollow me.
\nAnd he said, Lord suffer me <\/p>\n

146
\n00:09:06,500 –> 00:09:10,600
\nfirst to go and bury my father,
\nand that’s the key word that <\/p>\n

147
\n00:09:10,600 –> 00:09:15,500
\nlooks bringing to our attention.
\nThe word first, just, Jesus had <\/p>\n

148
\n00:09:15,500 –> 00:09:18,500
\nsaid to them in Matthew 6, those
\nwords we know, so well, but <\/p>\n

149
\n00:09:18,500 –> 00:09:22,800
\nseek, ye first, the kingdom of
\nheaven and his righteous of God,<\/p>\n

150
\n00:09:22,800 –> 00:09:25,700
\nand his righteousness, and all
\nthese things shall be added unto<\/p>\n

151
\n00:09:25,700 –> 00:09:28,200
\nyou.
\nJesus said, if you want to be <\/p>\n

152
\n00:09:28,200 –> 00:09:31,900
\npleasing to God in all that you
\ndo, make sure that he’s first in<\/p>\n

153
\n00:09:31,900 –> 00:09:34,100
\nyour life.
\nMake sure that the kingdom and <\/p>\n

154
\n00:09:34,100 –> 00:09:37,400
\nthe girls concerning the kingdom
\nbutter most in your life. <\/p>\n

155
\n00:09:38,300 –> 00:09:42,200
\nThis is the calling of the
\nGospel, the calling to place God<\/p>\n

156
\n00:09:42,400 –> 00:09:45,700
\nfirst, and this man was not
\ngoing to be available because he<\/p>\n

157
\n00:09:45,700 –> 00:09:48,500
\nwould always be finding
\nsomething else to do first and <\/p>\n

158
\n00:09:48,500 –> 00:09:51,300
\nwe fall into their trap.
\nDon’t we always finding <\/p>\n

159
\n00:09:51,300 –> 00:09:54,700
\nsomething else to do first
\nbefore we will give God our most<\/p>\n

160
\n00:09:54,700 –> 00:09:57,900
\navailability perhaps we want to
\nget married first. <\/p>\n

161
\n00:09:58,400 –> 00:10:02,400
\nPerhaps we would have children
\nfirst perhaps we want to finish <\/p>\n

162
\n00:10:02,400 –> 00:10:05,700
\ncollege first, perhaps, we want
\nto make sure we’re established <\/p>\n

163
\n00:10:05,700 –> 00:10:09,400
\nin our career first.
\nPerhaps it is until we get <\/p>\n

164
\n00:10:09,400 –> 00:10:13,100
\nretired and we have more time
\nand then we will be available. <\/p>\n

165
\n00:10:14,300 –> 00:10:18,800
\nHere was a man who had other
\nthings to do first and when all <\/p>\n

166
\n00:10:18,800 –> 00:10:21,600
\nthings are considered, when it’s
\nGod, coming out a list of things<\/p>\n

167
\n00:10:21,600 –> 00:10:24,300
\nthat are important to us.
\nHow does he fear against our <\/p>\n

168
\n00:10:24,300 –> 00:10:26,300
\nwork?
\nOur family, holidays and <\/p>\n

169
\n00:10:26,300 –> 00:10:31,100
\nentertainment, our TV, our cars
\na houses and when it comes <\/p>\n

170
\n00:10:31,100 –> 00:10:34,500
\nsecond to anyone of this list of
\nthings, we become unavailable <\/p>\n

171
\n00:10:34,500 –> 00:10:37,600
\nfor him.
\nThat’s the message of the first <\/p>\n

172
\n00:10:37,600 –> 00:10:41,200
\ndisciple, the procrastinator,
\nthe man, who wanted more time. <\/p>\n

173
\n00:10:42,300 –> 00:10:46,700
\nAnd then the next one straight
\noff to words in Luke chapter 9, <\/p>\n

174
\n00:10:47,100 –> 00:10:51,000
\nwe read this.
\nAnd another also said unto the <\/p>\n

175
\n00:10:51,000 –> 00:10:55,700
\nLord, I will follow you, but let
\nme first go but then farewell <\/p>\n

176
\n00:10:55,800 –> 00:10:59,500
\nwith your at home at my house
\nand Jesus said unto him. <\/p>\n

177
\n00:10:59,600 –> 00:11:03,000
\nNo man having put his hand to
\nthe plow and looking back is fit<\/p>\n

178
\n00:11:03,000 –> 00:11:05,800
\nfor the kingdom of God.
\nHere’s another man, very <\/p>\n

179
\n00:11:05,800 –> 00:11:09,200
\ninteresting, a man who wanted to
\nbe available Said, Lord. <\/p>\n

180
\n00:11:09,200 –> 00:11:13,200
\nLet me, let me join you.
\nLet me make myself available and<\/p>\n

181
\n00:11:13,200 –> 00:11:16,900
\nJesus saw in this man, a
\ndifferent type of problem for <\/p>\n

182
\n00:11:16,900 –> 00:11:21,300
\nthis man, says, let me first go
\nand say goodbye to them. <\/p>\n

183
\n00:11:21,300 –> 00:11:25,700
\nWe were at home and it seemed to
\nme that he had a whole bunch of <\/p>\n

184
\n00:11:25,700 –> 00:11:28,700
\nfriendship, still remaining at
\nhome that were important to him.<\/p>\n

185
\n00:11:28,700 –> 00:11:32,500
\nAnd the difficulty that I
\nbelieve this man was facing was <\/p>\n

186
\n00:11:32,500 –> 00:11:34,200
\nbreaking away from his old way
\nof life. <\/p>\n

187
\n00:11:34,200 –> 00:11:37,100
\nAnd it seems to me that he was
\nsuggesting to Jesus. <\/p>\n

188
\n00:11:37,100 –> 00:11:39,800
\nCan you see this that?
\nJesus should give him permission<\/p>\n

189
\n00:11:39,800 –> 00:11:42,900
\nto do this very same thing.
\nThat Elijah had given me Lusha <\/p>\n

190
\n00:11:42,900 –> 00:11:45,800
\npermission to do you remember
\nwhen he larger cord, Elijah? <\/p>\n

191
\n00:11:46,100 –> 00:11:48,600
\nAnd Elisha said, well, I just
\nneed to go and say goodbye to my<\/p>\n

192
\n00:11:48,600 –> 00:11:50,300
\nfamily.
\nIt’s recorded in First Kings, <\/p>\n

193
\n00:11:50,300 –> 00:11:51,900
\n19.
\nAnd when we go back to First <\/p>\n

194
\n00:11:51,900 –> 00:11:55,900
\nKings, 19, we noticed something.
\nInteresting, verse 19, our first<\/p>\n

195
\n00:11:55,900 –> 00:12:00,600
\nKings chapter 19, Let me read in
\nverse 19. <\/p>\n

196
\n00:12:02,200 –> 00:12:06,900
\nSo Elijah departed from there
\nand he found Elisha the son of <\/p>\n

197
\n00:12:06,900 –> 00:12:09,700
\nshaphat who was playing with 12
\nyoke of oxen before him. <\/p>\n

198
\n00:12:10,800 –> 00:12:14,700
\nAnd he with the 12 and he, with
\nthe 12th and Elijah passed by <\/p>\n

199
\n00:12:14,700 –> 00:12:16,300
\nhim and crossed his mental upon
\nit. <\/p>\n

200
\n00:12:16,900 –> 00:12:20,000
\nAnd Elisha Let The Oxen and ran
\nafter it. <\/p>\n

201
\n00:12:20,000 –> 00:12:22,800
\nArjun said, let me, I pray
\nbecause my father and my mother <\/p>\n

202
\n00:12:22,800 –> 00:12:25,100
\nand then I will follow thee.
\nAnd he said unto them, go back <\/p>\n

203
\n00:12:25,100 –> 00:12:26,700
\nagain, for what have I done to
\nyou? <\/p>\n

204
\n00:12:27,000 –> 00:12:31,400
\nAnd he returned back from Elijah
\nand took a yoke of oxen and slew<\/p>\n

205
\n00:12:31,400 –> 00:12:34,600
\nthem, and boiled their flesh,
\nwith the instruments of The Oxen<\/p>\n

206
\n00:12:34,800 –> 00:12:36,800
\nand gave unto the people and
\nthey did eat. <\/p>\n

207
\n00:12:36,900 –> 00:12:39,800
\nThen he arose and went after you
\nlarger and ministered unto him. <\/p>\n

208
\n00:12:40,000 –> 00:12:43,400
\nSo perhaps this disciple and
\nspeaking to Jesus said Elijah <\/p>\n

209
\n00:12:43,400 –> 00:12:45,500
\nwas able to go and say goodbye
\nto his family and that’s what I <\/p>\n

210
\n00:12:45,500 –> 00:12:48,900
\nwant to do.
\nBut notice the words of Jesus, <\/p>\n

211
\n00:12:49,300 –> 00:12:55,200
\nno, man having put his hand to
\nthe plow and turning back is fit<\/p>\n

212
\n00:12:55,200 –> 00:12:57,200
\nfor the kingdom of God.
\nWhat do you think he was saying?<\/p>\n

213
\n00:12:58,200 –> 00:13:00,400
\nWell I guess there’s two
\nunderstandings of that one. <\/p>\n

214
\n00:13:00,400 –> 00:13:03,000
\nIs that once you’re plowing, you
\ncan only look forward, you can’t<\/p>\n

215
\n00:13:03,000 –> 00:13:04,300
\nlook back.
\nOtherwise, you won’t do a good <\/p>\n

216
\n00:13:04,300 –> 00:13:06,700
\njob.
\nMaybe he was saying something <\/p>\n

217
\n00:13:06,700 –> 00:13:11,600
\nelse in allusion to the
\nillustration of Elijah, although<\/p>\n

218
\n00:13:11,600 –> 00:13:15,000
\nElijah returned to say goodbye
\nto his family, his intent, his <\/p>\n

219
\n00:13:15,000 –> 00:13:18,700
\nattitude was clear, why he put
\nhis And to the plan, he <\/p>\n

220
\n00:13:18,700 –> 00:13:21,000
\ndestroyed the instruments.
\nIt was all the way of life. <\/p>\n

221
\n00:13:21,000 –> 00:13:23,200
\nWe read it.
\nThere we read that, he slew The <\/p>\n

222
\n00:13:23,200 –> 00:13:26,000
\nOxen, and he boiled their fish,
\nwith the instruments of The <\/p>\n

223
\n00:13:26,000 –> 00:13:28,700
\nOxen.
\nThe old way of life, for Elijah <\/p>\n

224
\n00:13:28,700 –> 00:13:31,800
\nthe farmer, it was burnt, it was
\ngone like the Nets. <\/p>\n

225
\n00:13:31,800 –> 00:13:34,900
\nThey were given away.
\nIt was no way that Elisha could <\/p>\n

226
\n00:13:34,900 –> 00:13:37,800
\nreturn and this is the message.
\nI believe. <\/p>\n

227
\n00:13:37,800 –> 00:13:39,700
\nJesus was leaving for the sick
\nand disciple. <\/p>\n

228
\n00:13:40,200 –> 00:13:43,000
\nIf you want to follow me, you’ve
\ngot to put your hand to your old<\/p>\n

229
\n00:13:43,000 –> 00:13:45,400
\nway of life.
\nYou’ve got to destroy it, you’ve<\/p>\n

230
\n00:13:45,400 –> 00:13:47,000
\ngot to leave it behind.
\nYou can’t bring. <\/p>\n

231
\n00:13:47,100 –> 00:13:51,000
\nNG it with you.
\nI call this man the fence <\/p>\n

232
\n00:13:51,100 –> 00:13:54,700
\nsitter.
\nAnd he leaves a message for many<\/p>\n

233
\n00:13:54,700 –> 00:13:58,500
\nof us in this room.
\nBoth baptized and unbaptized who<\/p>\n

234
\n00:13:58,500 –> 00:14:02,600
\nhear the message the call of the
\nGospel of Jesus saying, are you <\/p>\n

235
\n00:14:02,600 –> 00:14:08,100
\navailable and perhaps, our
\nproblem is we can’t leave behind<\/p>\n

236
\n00:14:08,500 –> 00:14:14,500
\nthe old way of life.
\nYou see, Jesus himself, rather <\/p>\n

237
\n00:14:14,500 –> 00:14:18,300
\npoor said thou, therefore endure
\nhardness as a good soldier of <\/p>\n

238
\n00:14:18,300 –> 00:14:19,900
\nJesus Christ.
\nNo man. <\/p>\n

239
\n00:14:19,900 –> 00:14:23,000
\nThat Wars entangles himself with
\nthe Affairs of this life that he<\/p>\n

240
\n00:14:23,000 –> 00:14:25,800
\nmay, please him, who has chosen
\nhim to be a soldier. <\/p>\n

241
\n00:14:25,900 –> 00:14:29,900
\nYou can’t serve Jesus and still
\nbe entangled with the Affairs of<\/p>\n

242
\n00:14:29,900 –> 00:14:32,200
\nthis life.
\nYou have to break loose from it.<\/p>\n

243
\n00:14:32,900 –> 00:14:35,100
\nThat’s the only way you can,
\nmake sure your shirt yourself <\/p>\n

244
\n00:14:35,100 –> 00:14:37,900
\navailable.
\nHow many of us find ourselves <\/p>\n

245
\n00:14:37,900 –> 00:14:40,800
\nunavailable for God?
\nBecause we’re trying to hold on <\/p>\n

246
\n00:14:41,100 –> 00:14:44,000
\nto our old way of laugh.
\nWe’re trying to play the two <\/p>\n

247
\n00:14:44,000 –> 00:14:48,500
\nmasters game and it’s a
\nfruitless guy because both <\/p>\n

248
\n00:14:48,500 –> 00:14:51,400
\nMasters need a exclusive
\nattention. <\/p>\n

249
\n00:14:52,100 –> 00:14:56,400
\nAnd Jesus said you cannot serve
\nGod and riches. <\/p>\n

250
\n00:14:57,100 –> 00:15:00,000
\nYou cannot do it.
\nYou cannot play the two masters <\/p>\n

251
\n00:15:00,000 –> 00:15:03,500
\ngame.
\nIf we’re looking back and pining<\/p>\n

252
\n00:15:03,500 –> 00:15:07,000
\nafter our old way of life, we
\nwill not be available when the <\/p>\n

253
\n00:15:07,000 –> 00:15:10,800
\nmaster course.
\nIn that day, he would shall be <\/p>\n

254
\n00:15:10,800 –> 00:15:13,200
\nupon the Housetop and his stuff
\nin the house. <\/p>\n

255
\n00:15:13,300 –> 00:15:16,600
\nLet him not come down to take it
\naway and he that is in the field<\/p>\n

256
\n00:15:16,600 –> 00:15:18,700
\nthat I’m likewise not return
\nback. <\/p>\n

257
\n00:15:18,800 –> 00:15:21,400
\nRemember?
\nLot’s wife. <\/p>\n

258
\n00:15:22,600 –> 00:15:25,200
\nA perfect example of a fence
\nsitter. <\/p>\n

259
\n00:15:26,000 –> 00:15:29,000
\nSomeone who wanted to be
\navailable for God. <\/p>\n

260
\n00:15:29,100 –> 00:15:33,300
\nWanted to leave the city of
\nSodom yet did not want to leave <\/p>\n

261
\n00:15:33,300 –> 00:15:37,800
\nthe old way of life behind,
\nremember, that’s why. <\/p>\n

262
\n00:15:39,100 –> 00:15:42,500
\nSo how available are we have
\navailable? <\/p>\n

263

274
\n00:16:19,500 –> 00:16:22,100
\nleaving messages?
\nYou see? <\/p>\n

275
\n00:16:22,100 –> 00:16:26,700
\nThe call is not for someone
\nelse, it’s for you, and when you<\/p>\n

276
\n00:16:26,700 –> 00:16:29,900
\nhear the court, it’s no good.
\nSaying when someone else will do<\/p>\n

277
\n00:16:29,900 –> 00:16:32,200
\nit, someone else is better
\nqualified. <\/p>\n

278
\n00:16:32,900 –> 00:16:35,700
\nSomeone else can do it this time
\nbecause are normally always do <\/p>\n

279
\n00:16:35,700 –> 00:16:38,600
\nit.
\nHe’s asking that you be <\/p>\n

280
\n00:16:38,600 –> 00:16:41,000
\navailable Available.
\nDo you remember the message he <\/p>\n

281
\n00:16:41,000 –> 00:16:44,100
\ngave to Peter when Peter said,
\nwhat of this disciple? <\/p>\n

282
\n00:16:44,200 –> 00:16:46,300
\nJesus says, don’t be concerned
\nof him. <\/p>\n

283
\n00:16:46,300 –> 00:16:51,600
\nFollow thou me.
\nThe call is for you now is the <\/p>\n

284
\n00:16:51,600 –> 00:16:55,500
\ntime don’t procrastinate, don’t
\nsit on the fence. <\/p>\n

285
\n00:16:55,600 –> 00:16:58,500
\nNow is the time for any words
\nthat need to be said to <\/p>\n

286
\n00:16:58,500 –> 00:17:01,800
\nencourage your brother, or your
\nsister now is the time to put <\/p>\n

287
\n00:17:01,800 –> 00:17:05,400
\nyour hand to preaching work.
\nIf the call is for you now now <\/p>\n

288
\n00:17:05,400 –> 00:17:09,700
\nis the time for Action.
\nAlways remember this piece of <\/p>\n

289
\n00:17:09,700 –> 00:17:12,700
\nprose that I heard a few years
\nback that speaks of the <\/p>\n

290
\n00:17:12,700 –> 00:17:15,599
\nimportance of grabbing the
\nopportunity of the present. <\/p>\n

291
\n00:17:16,500 –> 00:17:22,000
\nIt’s a letter that was written
\nfrom a lady to her husband, who <\/p>\n

292
\n00:17:22,000 –> 00:17:24,700
\nhad been at War.
\nDo you remember the time? <\/p>\n

293
\n00:17:24,700 –> 00:17:26,900
\nI stood a scream, all over your
\nnew jacket? <\/p>\n

294
\n00:17:27,300 –> 00:17:30,700
\nI thought you would shout at me
\nand be angry but you never did. <\/p>\n

295
\n00:17:31,100 –> 00:17:34,800
\nAnd at the time, I told you that
\nthe dress was casual and <\/p>\n

296
\n00:17:34,800 –> 00:17:37,900
\neveryone else came dressed and
\ncolorant are, I thought you <\/p>\n

297
\n00:17:37,900 –> 00:17:40,100
\nwould stop talking to me, but
\nyou never did. <\/p>\n

298
\n00:17:40,400 –> 00:17:43,900
\nAnd when I left my best dress at
\nhome, and we had to drive back <\/p>\n

299
\n00:17:43,900 –> 00:17:47,800
\nthree hours, I thought you would
\nlecture me, but you never did. <\/p>\n

300
\n00:17:48,100 –> 00:17:51,300
\nAnd when I was jealous of you
\nfor no, real reason and stayed <\/p>\n

301
\n00:17:51,300 –> 00:17:55,700
\naway, I thought you would leave
\nme, but you never did now, so <\/p>\n

302
\n00:17:55,700 –> 00:17:59,400
\nmany things that I thought you
\nwould do, but you never did, but<\/p>\n

303
\n00:17:59,400 –> 00:18:02,900
\nyou loved me and cared for For
\nme and always made me feel <\/p>\n

304
\n00:18:02,900 –> 00:18:07,700
\nspecial and so there are so many
\nthings I wanted to tell you. <\/p>\n

305
\n00:18:07,700 –> 00:18:12,700
\nI’ve how much I loved you when
\nyou got back but you never did. <\/p>\n

306
\n00:18:14,400 –> 00:18:17,600
\nSo the message is clear, the
\ntime for opportunity for all of <\/p>\n

307
\n00:18:17,600 –> 00:18:21,500
\nus is when we receive the core
\nand when we have that energy, <\/p>\n

308
\n00:18:21,700 –> 00:18:25,000
\nthat energy that we spoke of
\nyesterday, when Solomon said, <\/p>\n

309
\n00:18:25,100 –> 00:18:28,300
\nremember your creator in the
\ndays of your youth. <\/p>\n

310
\n00:18:28,300 –> 00:18:31,100
\nWhen the evil days come, not
\nthat time when we have the <\/p>\n

311
\n00:18:31,100 –> 00:18:35,800
\nability to serve God, but God
\nnever leaves messages. <\/p>\n

312
\n00:18:36,100 –> 00:18:40,800
\nHe’s always ready for a
\nconnection. 24 hours a day. 365 <\/p>\n

313
\n00:18:40,800 –> 00:18:42,900
\ndays a year.
\nHe’s never out of range. <\/p>\n

314
\n00:18:42,900 –> 00:18:45,600
\nHis service is always.
\nAvailable and his rights of <\/p>\n

315
\n00:18:45,600 –> 00:18:49,500
\nfreedom in a way you are.
\nAnd he expects us to be equally <\/p>\n

316
\n00:18:49,700 –> 00:18:52,500
\navailable for his service,
\nwhether that be worshiping and <\/p>\n

317
\n00:18:52,500 –> 00:18:55,100
\nremembering him praying to him,
\nreading his word preaching his <\/p>\n

318
\n00:18:55,100 –> 00:18:58,400
\nmessage, whether it be serving
\nthose around him. <\/p>\n

319
\n00:18:59,200 –> 00:19:02,200
\nBut there’s a little twist to
\nthis tale that we would like to <\/p>\n

320
\n00:19:02,200 –> 00:19:04,600
\nend with.
\nThis morning, there will come a <\/p>\n

321
\n00:19:04,600 –> 00:19:09,000
\ntime where every one of us in
\nthis room when God will no <\/p>\n

322
\n00:19:09,000 –> 00:19:14,600
\nlonger be available and he will
\nleave a message for those who <\/p>\n

323
\n00:19:14,600 –> 00:19:18,400
\nare unavailable for him in
\nMatthew 25, we read this. <\/p>\n

324
\n00:19:18,400 –> 00:19:21,400
\nThen shall the Kingdom of Heaven
\nbe likened unto ten virgins, <\/p>\n

325
\n00:19:21,400 –> 00:19:23,500
\nwhich took their lamps and went
\nforth to meet the bridegroom. <\/p>\n

326
\n00:19:23,508 –> 00:19:26,500
\nFive of them were wise and five
\nof them were foolish. <\/p>\n

327
\n00:19:26,500 –> 00:19:29,100
\nThey that were foolish.
\nTook their lamps and took no. <\/p>\n

328
\n00:19:29,200 –> 00:19:31,600
\nNot well with them, but the
\nwise, took oil in their vessels,<\/p>\n

329
\n00:19:31,600 –> 00:19:35,500
\nwith their lamps, while the
\nbridegroom tarried, they all <\/p>\n

330
\n00:19:35,500 –> 00:19:38,700
\nslumbered and slept and at
\nmidnight, there was a cry, made <\/p>\n

331
\n00:19:38,800 –> 00:19:42,700
\nbehold the bridegroom is coming,
\ngo ye out to meet him and all <\/p>\n

332
\n00:19:42,700 –> 00:19:44,400
\nthe virgins arose and trimmed
\ntheir lamps. <\/p>\n

333
\n00:19:44,400 –> 00:19:46,800
\nAnd the foolish said to the
\nwise, give us a, give us your <\/p>\n

334
\n00:19:46,800 –> 00:19:51,300
\noil for our lamps are going out.
\nThe wise answered saying not. <\/p>\n

335
\n00:19:51,300 –> 00:19:55,100
\nSo lest there be not enough for
\nus and for you, but rather go <\/p>\n

336
\n00:19:55,100 –> 00:19:58,900
\nand sell and buy for yourselves.
\nAnd while they went to buy the <\/p>\n

337
\n00:19:58,900 –> 00:20:03,100
\nbridegroom came and they, that
\nwe’re ready, went in with him to<\/p>\n

338
\n00:20:03,100 –> 00:20:06,100
\nthe marriage and the door was
\nshut. <\/p>\n

339
\n00:20:06,700 –> 00:20:09,300
\nYou see the five foolish virgins
\nwere not available when the <\/p>\n

340
\n00:20:09,300 –> 00:20:14,000
\nmaster can they were unavailable
\nfor they had not made themselves<\/p>\n

341
\n00:20:14,000 –> 00:20:17,400
\nready.
\nAnd so it was that the door was <\/p>\n

342
\n00:20:17,400 –> 00:20:22,400
\nshut and when they returned 70,
\nthe God and Father, who had <\/p>\n

343
\n00:20:22,400 –> 00:20:25,600
\nalways been available for, them
\nis unavailable and they leave a <\/p>\n

344
\n00:20:25,608 –> 00:20:29,200
\nmessage, Lord, Lord open unto
\nus. <\/p>\n

345
\n00:20:31,400 –> 00:20:36,100
\nAnd they receive the message.
\nI know you not. <\/p>\n

346
\n00:20:37,300 –> 00:20:41,000
\nWhat an awful message to receive
\nfrom the master. <\/p>\n

347
\n00:20:42,500 –> 00:20:47,400
\nBut what if we are about?
\nWhat if when he returns, we have<\/p>\n

348
\n00:20:47,400 –> 00:20:51,000
\nprepared ourselves.
\nWe have made sure that we were <\/p>\n

349
\n00:20:51,000 –> 00:20:54,700
\navailable for his worship and
\nfor his service, then we will <\/p>\n

350
\n00:20:54,700 –> 00:20:58,900
\nreceive no message, but rather
\nan eternal connection with god. <\/p>\n

351
\n00:20:59,100 –> 00:21:02,200
\nWell, Dan you good?
\nAnd faithful servant enter into <\/p>\n

352
\n00:21:02,200 –> 00:21:06,300
\nthe joy of your lord, the
\nblessing of sharing with Paul <\/p>\n

353
\n00:21:06,300 –> 00:21:10,100
\nand Timothy with Jesus and his
\ndisciples with David. <\/p>\n

354
\n00:21:10,100 –> 00:21:14,600
\nAnd the faithful that wonderful
\nKingdom that vision of hope that<\/p>\n

355
\n00:21:15,000 –> 00:21:18,500
\nTom of reunions, when families
\nand friends will be reunited <\/p>\n

356
\n00:21:18,800 –> 00:21:22,600
\nwhen tears shall be, what
\ncompletely away the moment, when<\/p>\n

357
\n00:21:22,600 –> 00:21:26,000
\nall things will come into one
\nand God will be all in all. <\/p>\n

358
\n00:21:26,800 –> 00:21:29,700
\nAnd such as the hope that we
\nleave with this morning as we <\/p>\n

359
\n00:21:29,700 –> 00:21:34,000
\nleave, this place believing that
\nwe will be available when the <\/p>\n

360
\n00:21:34,000 –> 00:21:38,500
\nLord and Savior returns to take
\nthe kingdom to himself. <\/p>\n

361
\n00:21:39,500 –> 00:21:43,600
\nSo finally, now we come to
\nremember our Lord Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n

362
\n00:21:44,200 –> 00:21:46,600
\nAnd we are brought again to the
\nfoot of the cross. <\/p>\n

363
\n00:21:47,300 –> 00:21:53,900
\nJesus, the man who was always
\navailable the man, who said I’ve<\/p>\n

364
\n00:21:53,900 –> 00:21:58,200
\ncome to do your Will O God, a
\nbody you have prepared for me. <\/p>\n

365
\n00:21:59,400 –> 00:22:03,000
\nand so, as we partake of the
\nbread and the wine this morning,<\/p>\n

366
\n00:22:04,200 –> 00:22:08,400
\nI have no doubt in my mind of
\nhis presence with us. <\/p>\n

367
\n00:22:09,000 –> 00:22:11,500
\nI have no doubt that where two
\nor three are gathered. <\/p>\n

368
\n00:22:11,700 –> 00:22:16,200
\nHe is there in the midst of
\nthem, he is available and he <\/p>\n

369
\n00:22:16,200 –> 00:22:20,200
\nwill try to make a connection
\nwith each and every person in <\/p>\n
