[4666.10 --> 4670.72] I have seen and experienced and tasted the power of his resurrection. |
[4670.72 --> 4682.78] And I invite you, even now, in this service, to act on that person who comes to mind when you think who your Theophilus is. |
[4682.78 --> 4692.82] That coworker, that friend who's just genuinely interested, that neighbor who's asked why you leave on Sunday mornings but you never say where you're going, they know. |
[4692.82 --> 4693.82] They know where you are. |
[4693.82 --> 4694.32] They know where you are. |
[4694.32 --> 4701.36] That classmate who is just genuinely curious about your faith and why you live a little bit differently and speak a little bit differently. |
[4701.36 --> 4715.50] Secondly, are you willing to take a step to have that conversation, to share why it is that you believe the most important thing that changes everything about your life, the future, and the world, and that is the resurrection of Jesus? |
[4718.26 --> 4720.68] Jesus is alive. |
[4721.72 --> 4730.08] And the last thing he says in the Gospel of Matthew to his disciples is a commission, sending them. |
[4730.08 --> 4732.56] He says to them, all authority. |
[4732.60 --> 4734.34] You want to talk about large claims that Jesus makes? |
[4734.40 --> 4736.26] This is why he's not just a teacher or a miracle worker. |
[4736.38 --> 4740.42] He says, all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. |
[4741.26 --> 4747.34] Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, including British Columbia, where all the nations gather, |
[4748.74 --> 4751.42] baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, |
[4751.62 --> 4756.14] teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you, and I'm with you. |
[4756.14 --> 4760.40] By the Spirit, right until the end. |
[4762.16 --> 4763.42] Jesus is alive. |
[4764.32 --> 4766.18] The kingdom of God has come. |
[4767.46 --> 4774.38] And finally, the reason Jesus hasn't returned is so that you and I, in our ordinary lives, |
[4774.92 --> 4778.80] can invite as many people as are willing to respond |
[4778.80 --> 4783.42] into the resurrection life of Christ before he comes. |
[4784.76 --> 4785.98] Would you join me in prayer? |
[4793.58 --> 4795.86] Jesus, we thank you for defeating the grave. |
[4797.52 --> 4799.76] We thank you for appearing to your disciples. |
[4799.76 --> 4803.30] Thank you for appearing to the 500. |
[4804.54 --> 4806.44] And we thank you for appearing to us. |
[4807.46 --> 4812.12] For the way that you in our own lives have brought about faith in us. |
[4813.14 --> 4815.52] And to those who struggle, those of us who have our doubts, |
[4815.64 --> 4819.20] I pray that you would strengthen and deepen our faith. |
[4821.20 --> 4824.48] Spirit, would you fill us with the life of the resurrection? |
[4824.48 --> 4831.06] Would you send us to our friends, neighbors, and family members |
[4831.06 --> 4835.20] to share the good news that Jesus is alive? |
[4836.12 --> 4838.90] It is in his mighty name that we pray. |
[4839.58 --> 4839.90] Amen. |
[4841.48 --> 4845.42] Would you stand and sing with me our story through the words, |
[4845.60 --> 4846.12] King of Kings. |
[4846.18 --> 4847.40] Let's stand and worship together. |
[4847.40 --> 4847.52] Amen. |
[4854.48 --> 4866.84] In the darkness we were waiting, |
[4867.08 --> 4870.58] without hope, without light. |
[4870.82 --> 4873.96] Till from heaven you came running, |
[4874.40 --> 4878.04] there was mercy in your eyes. |
[4878.04 --> 4881.46] To fulfill the law and prophets, |
[4881.46 --> 4885.00] To a virgin came the word. |
[4885.38 --> 4888.58] From a throne of endless glory, |
[4888.58 --> 4892.60] To a cradle in the dirt. |
[4898.60 --> 4901.70] Praise the Father, |
[4902.42 --> 4905.14] Praise the Son, |
[4906.10 --> 4908.94] Praise the Spirit, |
[4908.94 --> 4912.06] Three in one. |
[4912.06 --> 4916.06] God of glory, |
[4916.06 --> 4919.96] I just did. |
[4920.62 --> 4927.98] Praise forever to the King of Kings. |
[4931.98 --> 4935.58] To reveal the kingdom coming, |
[4935.58 --> 4938.70] And to reconcile the lost. |
[4938.70 --> 4942.70] To redeem the whole creation, |
[4942.70 --> 4946.52] You did not despise the cross. |
[4946.52 --> 4950.02] For even in your suffering, |
[4950.38 --> 4953.74] You sought to the other side. |
[4953.98 --> 4957.10] Knowing this was our salvation, |
[4957.66 --> 4960.70] Jesus for our sake you died. |
[4960.70 --> 4961.82] Praise the Lord, |
[4961.82 --> 4969.82] Praise the Father, |
[4969.82 --> 4972.82] Praise the Son, |
[4972.82 --> 4976.82] Praise the Spirit, |
[4976.82 --> 4980.82] Three in one. |
[4980.82 --> 4984.82] God of glory, |
[4984.82 --> 4985.88] God of glory, |
[4985.88 --> 4987.94] I just said |
[4987.94 --> 4996.14] Raise forever to the King of Kings. |
[4999.94 --> 5002.94] And the morning that you rose, |
[5002.94 --> 5007.20] All of heaven held its breath, |
[5007.56 --> 5010.74] Till that stone was moved for good, |
[5010.74 --> 5017.98] For the Lamb had conquered death, and the dead rose from their tombs. |
[5018.34 --> 5028.74] And the angels stood in awe, for the souls of all who died, to the Father are restored. |
[5029.14 --> 5035.66] Then the church of Christ was born, then the Spirit lit the flame. |
[5035.66 --> 5042.70] Now this gospel, truth of all, shall not heal, shall not faint. |
[5043.06 --> 5049.48] By His blood and in His name, in His freedom I am free. |
[5049.96 --> 5056.60] For the love of Jesus Christ, who has resurrected me. |
[5056.60 --> 5075.60] Praise the Father, praise the Son, praise the Spirit, three in one. |
[5075.60 --> 5082.42] God of glory, majesty. |
[5084.10 --> 5090.80] Praise forever to the King of kings. |
[5090.92 --> 5097.78] Praise forever to the King of kings. |
[5097.78 --> 5102.78] Praise forever to the King of kings. |
[5102.78 --> 5105.18] Praise forever to the King of kings. |
[5105.18 --> 5107.18] Praise forever to the King of kings. |
[5107.18 --> 5109.18] Praise forever to the King of kings. |
[5109.18 --> 5109.24] Amen. |
[5114.66 --> 5118.68] Before we receive God's blessing and sing our final song, I want to make two announcements. |
[5118.84 --> 5123.08] One is, we didn't mention today, but today is Red Dress Day. |
[5123.08 --> 5127.98] And if you're not aware of that, it's a day where people remember and intercede for the |
[5127.98 --> 5130.10] many missing and murdered indigenous women. |
[5130.84 --> 5133.58] And so I just encourage you today is a day to pray for that. |
[5134.02 --> 5135.60] That's a serious injustice in our history. |
[5135.72 --> 5139.70] We want to be as Christians interceding for those who have lost loved ones and those who |
[5139.70 --> 5141.16] are still looking for loved ones. |
[5142.78 --> 5148.12] Secondly, I want to remind us that one of the ways that the resurrection of Jesus Christ |
[5148.12 --> 5151.74] transformed the church is by the way people handle their money. |
[5151.74 --> 5156.02] You know, Peter already mentioned this earlier, but the way that the church responds to the |
