[666.70 --> 667.76] We did a separate recording |
[667.76 --> 668.54] of his testimony. |
[669.14 --> 670.20] And part of his testimony |
[670.20 --> 671.16] that stuck out to me |
[671.16 --> 671.44] was, |
[671.52 --> 672.08] we asked him, |
[672.40 --> 673.20] what would you say |
[673.20 --> 673.96] to a new believer? |
[674.36 --> 675.28] What would be your word |
[675.28 --> 675.86] of encouragement |
[675.86 --> 676.66] for somebody who's |
[676.66 --> 677.58] struggling with their faith, |
[677.90 --> 678.98] wanting to know God, |
[679.04 --> 680.28] but don't know where to start? |
[680.48 --> 681.18] What would you say? |
[681.78 --> 683.12] And his main encouragement |
[683.12 --> 683.70] was, |
[684.16 --> 684.36] well, |
[684.44 --> 685.34] if you're going to believe, |
[685.44 --> 686.34] you've got to go all in. |
[687.00 --> 688.42] You can't just dip your toe |
[688.42 --> 688.88] and think, |
[689.06 --> 689.26] oh, |
[689.34 --> 690.26] how come it's not working |
[690.26 --> 690.68] for me? |
[690.68 --> 693.46] Because it's just |
[693.46 --> 694.98] not quite right. |
[695.94 --> 697.30] And it's not the same |
[697.30 --> 698.56] if you're just thinking, |
[699.02 --> 699.30] huh, |
[699.68 --> 700.22] Christianity, |
[700.76 --> 701.40] that religion, |
[701.60 --> 702.32] I'm not sure. |
[702.90 --> 704.74] If it's just a head knowledge thing, |
[705.30 --> 706.58] it just doesn't fit. |
[706.96 --> 708.52] That is not our identity. |
[708.60 --> 709.50] It's not our calling. |
[709.78 --> 710.86] Because our identity |
[710.86 --> 712.12] as Christians, |
[713.12 --> 714.16] it's a devotion |
[714.16 --> 715.62] of our whole being |
[715.62 --> 717.36] to the good creator, |
[717.52 --> 718.06] the redeemer |
[718.06 --> 718.70] and restorer |
[718.70 --> 719.52] of all things. |
[719.82 --> 721.16] He is our only hope |
[721.16 --> 722.06] and we say, |
[722.38 --> 723.40] we are all in. |
[725.00 --> 726.28] So that's our calling. |
[727.40 --> 728.14] And so in |
[728.14 --> 729.90] our good savior sermon, |
[730.64 --> 731.46] Jesus names |
[731.46 --> 733.04] these three types of people. |
[733.68 --> 734.12] He says, |
[734.26 --> 734.72] the poor, |
[735.22 --> 735.76] the prisoners |
[735.76 --> 736.74] and the blind. |
[737.92 --> 738.64] Who is that? |
[739.10 --> 739.62] Who do you think |
[739.62 --> 740.72] Jesus is referring to? |
[742.00 --> 742.38] Oh yeah, |
[742.50 --> 743.30] people out there, |
[743.80 --> 744.66] outside the church. |
[744.84 --> 745.34] We're okay. |
[746.04 --> 746.86] We belong to him. |
[746.92 --> 747.34] We're holy. |
[747.80 --> 748.30] We're fine. |
[748.70 --> 749.02] No, |
[749.06 --> 750.34] it's the sinners out there. |
[750.76 --> 751.12] Right? |
[752.98 --> 753.46] No, |
[753.54 --> 754.82] when Jesus refers |
[754.82 --> 755.42] to the poor, |
[755.52 --> 755.92] the blind, |
[755.96 --> 756.50] and the prisoners, |
[756.72 --> 757.80] he's talking about us. |
[758.48 --> 760.06] He's talking about all of us. |
[760.76 --> 761.42] We have to, |
[761.50 --> 761.68] again, |
[761.78 --> 762.40] remember. |
[763.10 --> 764.40] We have to remember |
[764.40 --> 765.74] who we were, |
[766.48 --> 767.84] where we come from, |
[768.04 --> 770.02] and who we still struggle with. |
[771.78 --> 772.64] The sins |
[772.64 --> 773.42] and the brokenness |
[773.42 --> 774.92] that we still continue |
[774.92 --> 775.74] to wrestle with |
[775.74 --> 777.08] in our current |
[777.08 --> 778.26] day-to-day lives. |
[779.20 --> 780.34] That's who Jesus |
[780.34 --> 780.92] is calling. |
[781.40 --> 782.44] That includes us |
[782.44 --> 782.96] as sinners. |
[784.20 --> 785.04] At the beginning |
[785.04 --> 785.54] of his sermon, |
[785.66 --> 786.20] he says, |
[786.34 --> 787.26] the spirit of the Lord |
[787.26 --> 787.70] is on me |
[787.70 --> 788.86] because God, |
