[2354.68 --> 2356.00] Sort of what it looked like for me |
[2356.00 --> 2358.74] So I wrestled with it a bit |
[2358.74 --> 2359.68] After our conversation |
[2359.68 --> 2361.70] But then decided |
[2361.70 --> 2363.66] To commit |
[2363.66 --> 2364.52] And felt called to |
[2364.52 --> 2365.34] In a more formal way |
[2365.34 --> 2367.88] So I did back then |
[2367.88 --> 2369.00] And similarly now |
[2369.00 --> 2369.50] I've been at Hope |
[2369.50 --> 2370.32] For two and a half years |
[2370.32 --> 2371.12] Serving in leadership |
[2371.12 --> 2373.60] And decided that it was time |
[2373.60 --> 2374.58] To do |
[2374.58 --> 2376.58] Demonstrate the commitment |
[2376.58 --> 2377.52] A little bit more formally |
[2377.52 --> 2378.18] As a member here |
[2378.18 --> 2379.26] Yeah |
[2379.26 --> 2387.14] All the people |
[2387.14 --> 2388.16] Who are on the stage today |
[2388.16 --> 2388.90] They were part of |
[2388.90 --> 2389.76] Our new members class |
[2389.76 --> 2390.56] We did about a month |
[2390.56 --> 2391.22] And a half ago |
[2391.22 --> 2393.24] And we talked a lot about |
[2393.24 --> 2394.50] The story of the Bible |
[2394.50 --> 2396.30] The trustworthiness of the Bible |
[2396.30 --> 2397.36] How to live faithfully |
[2397.36 --> 2397.90] As Christians |
[2397.90 --> 2398.96] In Western society |
[2398.96 --> 2400.28] And how to serve |
[2400.28 --> 2400.86] With all the gifts |
[2400.86 --> 2401.80] That God has given you |
[2401.80 --> 2403.08] And one of the |
[2403.08 --> 2404.66] Emphasis that we made |
[2404.66 --> 2405.70] Hopefully you remember this |
[2405.70 --> 2406.34] Is that membership |
[2406.34 --> 2407.02] Is a big deal |
[2407.02 --> 2407.58] And I appreciate |
[2407.58 --> 2408.44] What you both said |
[2408.44 --> 2409.16] About membership |
[2409.16 --> 2410.84] It's making commitment |
[2410.84 --> 2413.04] It's making a sense of |
[2413.04 --> 2413.82] It's sinking roots |
[2413.82 --> 2414.60] Into a community |
[2414.60 --> 2416.30] And I'll just say |
[2416.30 --> 2416.90] Some of the things |
[2416.90 --> 2417.50] That we emphasized |
[2417.50 --> 2418.32] Week after week |
[2418.32 --> 2419.18] Was that you're committing |
[2419.18 --> 2420.24] To a local body |
[2420.24 --> 2420.76] Of believers |
[2420.76 --> 2422.82] You are sitting |
[2422.82 --> 2423.44] And trusting |
[2423.44 --> 2424.22] And submitting |
[2424.22 --> 2425.04] To the teaching |
[2425.04 --> 2425.66] Of the scriptures |
[2425.66 --> 2426.68] In that community |
[2426.68 --> 2428.08] You're committing |
[2428.08 --> 2429.22] To being discipled |
[2429.22 --> 2430.16] By this community |
[2430.16 --> 2430.70] Of believers |
[2430.70 --> 2432.06] You're committed |
[2432.06 --> 2432.92] To using your gifts |
[2432.92 --> 2433.52] Your time |
[2433.52 --> 2434.64] Your talent |
[2434.64 --> 2435.30] Your resources |
[2435.30 --> 2436.64] To serve |
[2436.64 --> 2438.26] And you're committing |
[2438.26 --> 2439.10] To bearing witness |
[2439.10 --> 2439.60] To Jesus |
[2439.60 --> 2440.90] In our community |
[2440.90 --> 2441.80] With our church |
[2441.80 --> 2443.46] That's what membership |
[2443.46 --> 2444.08] Is all about |
[2444.08 --> 2445.26] And so I've got |
[2445.26 --> 2445.88] Four questions |
[2445.88 --> 2446.72] For all of you |
[2446.72 --> 2447.38] And you know what |
[2447.38 --> 2447.68] I'm going to do |
[2447.68 --> 2448.08] This Sunday |
[2448.08 --> 2449.36] I'll ask you to say |
[2449.36 --> 2450.58] We do God helping us |
[2450.58 --> 2451.32] All at once |
[2451.32 --> 2451.84] In the past |
[2451.84 --> 2452.54] We passed the mic |
[2452.54 --> 2453.24] But I trust that |
[2453.24 --> 2453.68] You could say it |
[2453.68 --> 2454.14] All together |
[2454.14 --> 2455.24] And so here are |
[2455.24 --> 2455.84] The four questions |
[2455.84 --> 2456.70] I have for each of you |
[2456.70 --> 2457.36] As you join |
[2457.36 --> 2458.54] This body of believers |
[2458.54 --> 2459.44] Number one |
[2459.44 --> 2461.20] Do you love |
[2461.20 --> 2462.08] Jesus Christ |
[2462.08 --> 2463.96] Do you want to make |
[2463.96 --> 2464.72] Following him |
[2464.72 --> 2465.66] The goal of the rest |
