[4627.34 --> 4628.46] I praise the Lord for you. |
[4628.80 --> 4630.46] And you are doing exactly |
[4630.46 --> 4631.96] what the prophetic ministry |
[4631.96 --> 4633.32] of Jesus is all about. |
[4633.46 --> 4634.36] That is teaching |
[4634.36 --> 4636.38] the word of God. |
[4636.62 --> 4637.84] I am so thankful |
[4637.84 --> 4638.88] for the youth leaders |
[4638.88 --> 4639.44] in this room, |
[4639.70 --> 4640.74] especially in the moments |
[4640.74 --> 4641.80] where it feels thankless |
[4641.80 --> 4642.66] and the students |
[4642.66 --> 4643.94] might smell a little bit. |
[4644.32 --> 4645.06] Even then, |
[4645.44 --> 4646.58] this is the prophetic ministry |
[4646.58 --> 4647.80] that you have been called into. |
[4648.74 --> 4650.44] But secondly, |
[4650.76 --> 4651.84] the prophetic ministry |
[4651.84 --> 4653.38] of Jesus also involves |
[4653.38 --> 4655.16] sharing the gospel. |
[4656.14 --> 4657.38] It involves speaking |
[4657.38 --> 4658.42] why you believe |
[4658.42 --> 4659.40] what you do about Jesus |
[4659.40 --> 4660.20] with classmates, |
[4660.96 --> 4661.36] coworkers, |
[4662.08 --> 4663.32] friends on the soccer field, |
[4663.66 --> 4664.94] friends on the volleyball court, |
[4665.06 --> 4665.78] and neighbors. |
[4666.44 --> 4666.62] Right? |
[4666.88 --> 4667.66] And this might be |
[4667.66 --> 4668.58] like every student |
[4668.58 --> 4670.62] and parents, |
[4671.32 --> 4672.00] greatest fear, |
[4672.58 --> 4673.22] evangelism, |
[4673.36 --> 4674.14] sharing the gospel. |
[4674.78 --> 4675.86] And let me just put it this way. |
[4675.86 --> 4678.04] The most easy way |
[4678.04 --> 4679.02] to do evangelism |
[4679.02 --> 4680.74] is to talk as you are |
[4680.74 --> 4682.72] about your ordinary life |
[4682.72 --> 4683.82] as someone who loves Jesus. |
[4684.18 --> 4685.76] You don't need to be a ninja about it. |
[4686.24 --> 4686.86] Like go in there, |
[4686.96 --> 4688.04] like chop someone with Jesus |
[4688.04 --> 4688.84] with this phrase. |
[4689.02 --> 4689.78] You just need to live |
[4689.78 --> 4690.76] your ordinary life |
[4690.76 --> 4692.04] and be willing to speak |
[4692.04 --> 4692.56] about Jesus |
[4692.56 --> 4693.44] as the questions |
[4693.44 --> 4695.26] and the conversations arise. |
[4695.96 --> 4696.96] And what I learned |
[4696.96 --> 4698.46] when I was a youth pastor |
[4698.46 --> 4700.00] is you don't need |
[4700.00 --> 4700.80] to go far away |
[4700.80 --> 4701.56] to find the people |
[4701.56 --> 4701.96] in your life |
[4701.96 --> 4702.90] who don't yet know Jesus |
[4702.90 --> 4703.74] or do not know |
[4703.74 --> 4704.48] the word of God. |
[4704.64 --> 4705.28] They're usually |
[4705.28 --> 4705.94] in your neighborhood. |
[4706.30 --> 4707.26] They're close by. |
[4707.38 --> 4707.84] It's a student |
[4707.84 --> 4709.26] who sits beside you in class |
[4709.26 --> 4710.00] or the person |
[4710.00 --> 4710.92] you're already friends with. |
[4711.30 --> 4712.54] Those are the people |
[4712.54 --> 4714.64] that Jesus himself says, |
[4714.74 --> 4715.66] you are my witnesses |
[4715.66 --> 4717.04] to share the living word |
[4717.04 --> 4717.68] of God to |
[4717.68 --> 4719.28] in your ordinary life. |
[4719.72 --> 4720.66] And whatever fears |
[4720.66 --> 4721.62] you have about that, |
[4722.12 --> 4723.16] bring to your heavenly father |
[4723.16 --> 4723.64] in prayer |
[4723.64 --> 4724.66] and know that Jesus, |
[4724.84 --> 4725.30] your king, |
[4725.50 --> 4726.78] is interceding for you |
[4726.78 --> 4727.70] to do that well. |
[4727.70 --> 4730.38] You and I are called |
[4730.38 --> 4731.12] to the ministry |
[4731.12 --> 4733.24] of being prophets, |
[4733.96 --> 4735.34] of speaking God's word. |
[4735.68 --> 4736.34] But secondly, |
[4736.52 --> 4737.78] you are also invited |
[4737.78 --> 4739.52] into the priestly ministry. |
[4739.96 --> 4741.00] And the priestly ministry, |
[4741.14 --> 4742.10] as we looked at last night, |
[4742.28 --> 4743.08] is that ministry |
[4743.08 --> 4743.84] of intercession. |
[4744.48 --> 4745.26] You are not called |
[4745.26 --> 4746.34] to do what Jesus does |
[4746.34 --> 4747.14] in the sense of giving |
[4747.14 --> 4747.82] a sacrifice |
[4747.82 --> 4749.08] for the sake of the world |
[4749.08 --> 4749.82] once and for all |
[4749.82 --> 4750.52] that's been done. |
[4750.72 --> 4751.68] But you are called |
