[4573.80 --> 4574.96] And be my disciple |
[4574.96 --> 4576.56] What does it say next? |
[4577.52 --> 4579.04] Must deny themselves |
[4579.04 --> 4581.58] Take up their cross |
[4581.58 --> 4583.14] And follow me |
[4583.14 --> 4586.08] And it's not easy |
[4586.08 --> 4587.60] To deny ourselves |
[4587.60 --> 4589.56] And it's certainly not easy |
[4589.56 --> 4590.70] To take up our cross |
[4590.70 --> 4592.14] But Jesus says |
[4592.14 --> 4593.02] That's the invitation |
[4593.02 --> 4594.42] And there are times |
[4594.42 --> 4595.70] When witness is easy |
[4595.70 --> 4596.32] In the sense of |
[4596.32 --> 4597.22] You feel like you're being |
[4597.22 --> 4598.62] Propelled by the spirit |
[4598.62 --> 4599.72] And there's a reception |
[4599.72 --> 4600.80] From the person with you |
[4600.80 --> 4601.36] Or your community |
[4601.36 --> 4602.16] That you're sharing with |
[4602.16 --> 4603.08] And there are times |
[4603.08 --> 4603.60] Where it's met with |
[4603.60 --> 4605.40] Resistance and hostility |
[4605.40 --> 4606.80] And we must be faithful |
[4606.80 --> 4607.96] In whatever circumstance |
[4607.96 --> 4609.12] God places us in |
[4609.12 --> 4610.74] To witness to Jesus |
[4610.74 --> 4611.54] In our words |
[4611.54 --> 4612.84] Our deeds |
[4612.84 --> 4614.24] And our shared life |
[4614.24 --> 4615.78] To do it publicly |
[4615.78 --> 4617.10] And to be willing |
[4617.10 --> 4617.70] To suffer |
[4617.70 --> 4619.38] If that is required |
[4619.38 --> 4621.52] And it's at this point |
[4621.52 --> 4622.36] I'm looking at the people |
[4622.36 --> 4623.38] Who were just on the stage |
[4623.38 --> 4624.68] Joining as members |
[4624.68 --> 4625.38] And you're thinking to yourself |
[4625.38 --> 4626.74] Is there an exit clause |
[4626.74 --> 4627.82] To this membership thing? |
[4628.10 --> 4628.42] Like I don't know |
[4628.42 --> 4629.06] If I signed up |
[4629.06 --> 4629.76] For all these things |
[4629.76 --> 4630.54] That Pastor David's |
[4630.54 --> 4631.22] Talking about |
[4631.22 --> 4632.60] And that makes me |
[4632.60 --> 4633.06] Want to loop |
[4633.06 --> 4633.70] To what I think |
[4633.70 --> 4634.48] Is the good news |
[4634.48 --> 4635.32] Of this passage |
[4635.32 --> 4638.06] Before Jesus says |
[4638.06 --> 4639.64] What our identity |
[4639.64 --> 4640.36] Is as witnesses |
[4640.36 --> 4641.04] What does he say |
[4641.04 --> 4641.60] Before that? |
[4641.80 --> 4642.54] Let me read it for us |
[4642.54 --> 4643.04] Verse 8 |
[4643.04 --> 4647.76] You will receive power |
[4647.76 --> 4649.50] When the Holy Spirit |
[4649.50 --> 4650.30] Comes on you |
[4650.30 --> 4651.40] And you will be |
[4651.40 --> 4652.04] My witnesses |
[4652.04 --> 4654.90] Do you believe that church? |
[4654.90 --> 4657.76] That Jesus Christ |
[4657.76 --> 4659.04] Gives us |
[4659.04 --> 4661.18] Everything we need |
[4661.18 --> 4662.62] In every culture |
[4662.62 --> 4663.74] In every time |
[4663.74 --> 4665.12] To make Jesus known |
[4665.12 --> 4667.28] Jesus knows |
[4667.28 --> 4668.14] Just how weak |
[4668.14 --> 4669.32] And frail we are |
[4669.32 --> 4670.30] How timid |
[4670.30 --> 4672.06] And scared we are |
[4672.06 --> 4672.62] To speak |
[4672.62 --> 4673.16] And live |
[4673.16 --> 4674.02] And share the faith |
[4674.02 --> 4675.10] He knows that |
[4675.10 --> 4676.16] He sees it |
[4676.16 --> 4676.86] In his own disciples |
[4676.86 --> 4677.58] So what does he do? |
[4677.64 --> 4677.98] He says |
[4677.98 --> 4679.66] You are sent as witnesses |
[4679.66 --> 4680.44] And guess what? |
[4680.50 --> 4681.28] I'm going to give you |
[4681.28 --> 4682.44] All the power |
[4682.44 --> 4683.94] And the strength you need |
[4683.94 --> 4684.90] Through the coming |
[4684.90 --> 4685.68] Of the Holy Spirit |
[4685.68 --> 4687.58] And let's just pause |
[4687.58 --> 4688.20] And give thanks |
[4688.20 --> 4689.44] That the same spirit |
[4689.44 --> 4690.54] That filled the disciples |
[4690.54 --> 4691.58] Who we read about |
[4691.58 --> 4692.28] In the book of Acts |
[4692.28 --> 4693.26] Is the spirit |
[4693.26 --> 4694.10] Who lives |
[4694.10 --> 4695.06] And moves |
[4695.06 --> 4696.38] Here at Hope Community Church |
