[70.72 --> 72.04] But if you could pray for us, |
[72.10 --> 75.08] just as we are still in this preparation stage |
[75.08 --> 76.28] to go to the field, |
[76.38 --> 77.28] we would really appreciate it. |
[77.50 --> 77.86] Thank you. |
[77.86 --> 80.34] Well, let me pray for you. |
[82.32 --> 83.66] Father, we thank you so much |
[83.66 --> 86.90] for the season of life that we've had with Benj and Sarah. |
[88.08 --> 90.02] We want to pray your blessing over them |
[90.02 --> 92.66] as they finish up their studies and their exams. |
[93.96 --> 95.74] And Lord, I thank you that they have a time of rest |
[95.74 --> 97.14] back home in the States, |
[97.64 --> 99.64] and we hold before you now |
[99.64 --> 101.24] their plans to go to Southeast Asia. |
[101.24 --> 103.82] We thank you for the desire they have |
[103.82 --> 105.10] to make your word known |
[105.10 --> 107.64] in languages that people can have of their own. |
[108.56 --> 110.00] Would you make their ministry fruitful? |
[111.20 --> 112.50] Would you bless their family |
[112.50 --> 113.80] and protect them in their travels, |
[114.16 --> 114.78] in their life, |
[114.98 --> 115.72] and in their work? |
[116.60 --> 119.10] And Lord, would your kingdom be expanded |
[119.10 --> 121.42] through the efforts of their work? |
[122.18 --> 124.02] We pray this all in Christ's mighty name. |
[124.30 --> 124.54] Amen. |
[124.54 --> 124.74] Amen. |
[125.62 --> 126.54] Thank you so much. |
[129.10 --> 131.12] There's a number of other translators at our church, |
[131.34 --> 134.70] and you're welcome to just find them after the service. |
[135.28 --> 136.52] Actually, a lot of them were at the 9 a.m., |
[136.52 --> 137.52] but I see another one over here, |
[137.58 --> 139.46] and just hear about the work God is doing |
[139.46 --> 140.40] and preparing them for. |
[140.84 --> 143.60] I really feel like my own heart for Global Mission |
[143.60 --> 145.34] and also for the Bible translation. |
[145.58 --> 147.86] I did not realize how many languages and dialects |
[147.86 --> 149.36] do not yet have a Bible in their language, |
[149.56 --> 151.26] and I praise the Lord that in our church |
[151.26 --> 152.42] we have people who are studying |
[152.42 --> 155.12] and going around the world to make God's Word known. |
[157.48 --> 158.98] As Pastor Sid said, |
[159.18 --> 161.20] we're going to continue our series on forgiveness, |
[162.10 --> 164.06] and if you didn't hear last week's sermon, |
[164.22 --> 167.10] I do invite you to find it on the podcast or on YouTube. |
[168.02 --> 170.66] Sometimes we mock Pastor Sid for stealing our sermons, |
[171.34 --> 173.44] but as I was listening last week, |
[173.48 --> 175.54] I thought, man, this guy is such a gifted preacher, |
[176.12 --> 177.56] and he practices what he preaches. |
[177.68 --> 179.96] I was just noticing how so much of what he's preaching, |
[180.10 --> 180.76] he's living, |
[180.76 --> 182.58] and I think that's such a gift to us, |
[182.60 --> 184.08] so please do listen to that sermon |
[184.08 --> 185.76] because I'm going to be building on it this morning, |
[185.94 --> 188.66] and we're going to be continuing on it in the next two weeks. |
[190.10 --> 191.66] We're going to look at Matthew 18 |
[191.66 --> 193.78] this week and next week |
[193.78 --> 196.68] because Jesus has a lot of teaching about forgiveness, |
[196.94 --> 197.76] and so if you have your Bible, |
[197.90 --> 199.50] turn with me to Matthew chapter 18, |
[200.02 --> 202.34] and we will start reading in verse 21. |
[202.34 --> 209.08] Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, |
[209.66 --> 215.04] Lord, how many times shall I forgive someone who sins against me? |
[215.56 --> 217.36] Up to seven times? |
[218.60 --> 219.42] Jesus answered, |
[219.84 --> 221.92] I tell you not seven times, |
[222.30 --> 224.44] but seventy-seven times. |
[225.80 --> 228.40] Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king |
[228.40 --> 230.58] who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. |
[230.58 --> 232.38] As he began settlement, |
[232.62 --> 235.96] a man who owed him ten thousand bags of gold was brought to him. |
[236.74 --> 238.04] Since he was not able to pay, |
[238.22 --> 240.26] the master ordered that he and his wife and his children |
[240.26 --> 242.64] and all that he had be sold to repay the debt. |
[243.58 --> 245.78] The servant fell on his knees before him. |
[245.90 --> 247.42] Be patient with me, he begged, |
[247.60 --> 248.96] and I will pay back everything. |
[249.98 --> 252.16] The servant's master took pity on him, |
[253.04 --> 253.82] canceled the debt, |
[254.30 --> 255.08] and let him go. |
[255.08 --> 257.86] But when that servant went out, |
[257.96 --> 260.22] he found one of his fellow servants who owed him |
[260.22 --> 261.86] a hundred silver coins. |
[262.56 --> 264.68] He grabbed him and began to choke him, |
[264.84 --> 267.02] saying, pay back what you owed me, he demanded. |
[267.88 --> 270.38] His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, |
[270.68 --> 272.60] be patient with me, and I will pay you back. |
[273.68 --> 274.56] But he refused. |
[275.40 --> 277.64] Instead, he went off and had the men thrown into prison |
[277.64 --> 278.86] until he could pay the debt. |
[278.86 --> 281.76] When the other servants saw what had happened, |
[281.86 --> 283.20] they were greatly distressed |
[283.20 --> 285.56] and went and told their master everything that had happened. |
[286.46 --> 288.18] Then the master called the servant in. |
[289.20 --> 291.84] You wicked servant, he said. |
[292.40 --> 295.42] I canceled all the debt of yours because you begged me to. |
[296.20 --> 298.44] Shouldn't you have had mercy on your fellow servant |
[298.44 --> 299.92] just as I had on you? |
[301.02 --> 303.68] In anger, his master handed him over to the jailers |
[303.68 --> 307.26] to be tortured until he should pay back all he owed. |
