Dialogue: 0,0:01:36.74,0:01:38.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I got to just say a few words

Dialogue: 0,0:01:47.05,0:01:49.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and yet the thing under his breath

Dialogue: 0,0:02:27.95,0:02:30.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I hear all that,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.21,0:02:32.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I'll be honest with you,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:32.40,0:02:36.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,my reaction as a preacher is:
Dialogue: 0,0:02:36.16,0:02:40.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What's the sermon that can fix it all?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:40.55,0:02:42.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I just want to help

Dialogue: 0,0:02:43.70,0:02:45.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I assume that each of those people
Dialogue: 0,0:02:45.57,0:02:49.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just represent all of us.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:49.15,0:02:52.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That all of us have great need.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:52.49,0:02:54.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the question I come away
Dialogue: 0,0:02:54.27,0:02:56.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from those conversations asking myself
Dialogue: 0,0:02:56.81,0:03:03.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is what can sustain God's people?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:03.51,0:03:05.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What can move so that there's
Dialogue: 0,0:03:05.82,0:03:07.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,more than enough workers in Mexico;
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.81,0:03:09.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what can move so whether
Dialogue: 0,0:03:09.100,0:03:12.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a bi-vocational pastor gets more support,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:12.30,0:03:14.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so he doesn't have to be bi-vocational,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:14.19,0:03:17.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or he just gets strength \Nto stay bi-vocational;
Dialogue: 0,0:03:17.31,0:03:20.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what can move so that God's people
Dialogue: 0,0:03:20.74,0:03:23.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are sustained when their homes
Dialogue: 0,0:03:23.56,0:03:24.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and their houses
Dialogue: 0,0:03:24.64,0:03:28.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and their extended family are falling
Dialogue: 0,0:03:28.34,0:03:33.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as a result of the fall?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.47,0:03:35.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I believe we need
Dialogue: 0,0:03:35.96,0:03:40.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a tremendous outpouring \Nof the Holy Spirit.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.88,0:03:44.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We need an entire Person of the Trinity
Dialogue: 0,0:03:44.59,0:03:45.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to help us.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:45.98,0:03:49.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We need all of the Holy Spirit
Dialogue: 0,0:03:49.21,0:03:53.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,bringing us into all that Christ has done
Dialogue: 0,0:03:53.56,0:03:56.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so that we can enjoy \Nall of our relationship
Dialogue: 0,0:03:56.97,0:03:58.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to the Father.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:58.98,0:04:02.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that sustains but it also motivates
Dialogue: 0,0:04:02.16,0:04:07.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,more to move out and help, doesn't it?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.32,0:04:09.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I talked to another brother today,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.48,0:04:11.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and he said in the last twenty years,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:11.49,0:04:14.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I've heard better, clearer,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:14.38,0:04:16.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,theologically precise presentations
Dialogue: 0,0:04:16.86,0:04:22.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of the Gospel than I've ever heard before.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:22.09,0:04:24.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I believe we are witnessing
Dialogue: 0,0:04:24.50,0:04:26.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a season where there are many
Dialogue: 0,0:04:26.74,0:04:30.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,clearly and biblically articulating
Dialogue: 0,0:04:30.67,0:04:31.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the Gospel.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:31.84,0:04:34.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we should thank God for that.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:34.89,0:04:37.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But he said before those twenty years,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:37.17,0:04:38.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I heard less clear presentations
Dialogue: 0,0:04:38.72,0:04:39.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of the Gospel,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:39.63,0:04:44.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and they came with more power.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:44.01,0:04:46.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That is not an excuse
Dialogue: 0,0:04:46.42,0:04:48.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for a lack of precision in preaching.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:48.32,0:04:50.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Study hard to show yourself approved,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:50.15,0:04:52.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a workman who need not be ashamed,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:52.05,0:04:54.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,rightly dividing the word of truth.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:54.80,0:04:59.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But if it's rightly divided and powerless,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:59.65,0:05:03.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that's one more testimony that we need
Dialogue: 0,0:05:03.22,0:05:07.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the power of the Holy Spirit.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:07.90,0:05:10.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And if those burdens weren't enough,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:10.00,0:05:12.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then we heard those last two sermons.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:12.85,0:05:15.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I just walk away from
Dialogue: 0,0:05:15.77,0:05:17.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Brother Mack's sermon
Dialogue: 0,0:05:17.92,0:05:20.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and Brother Kevin's sermon
Dialogue: 0,0:05:20.36,0:05:23.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with this desire in my soul
Dialogue: 0,0:05:23.47,0:05:25.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that I want to share with you
Dialogue: 0,0:05:25.02,0:05:27.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from God's Word tonight.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:27.16,0:05:28.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Remember Brother Mack's sermon:
Dialogue: 0,0:05:28.88,0:05:32.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Christ was a man.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:32.29,0:05:34.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He had an umbilical cord.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:34.64,0:05:37.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He had been utterly dependent
Dialogue: 0,0:05:37.35,0:05:39.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on His mother.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:39.01,0:05:40.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He was a man.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:40.22,0:05:41.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And yet, as a man,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:41.60,0:05:44.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He moved like no other man moved
Dialogue: 0,0:05:44.61,0:05:47.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because of the power and the presence
Dialogue: 0,0:05:47.36,0:05:51.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of the Holy Spirit on His life.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:51.11,0:05:53.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's what motivated Christ.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:53.50,0:05:55.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's what empowered Christ
Dialogue: 0,0:05:55.70,0:05:59.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to move as no other man moved
Dialogue: 0,0:05:59.03,0:06:01.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,was that He - our older Brother -
Dialogue: 0,0:06:01.69,0:06:04.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,had the Spirit that now
Dialogue: 0,0:06:04.00,0:06:06.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we have been given.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:06.93,0:06:09.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Oh, if that doesn't whet your appetite
Dialogue: 0,0:06:09.60,0:06:13.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for more empowerment from God's Spirit,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:13.10,0:06:14.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you might need to put a mirror
Dialogue: 0,0:06:14.84,0:06:20.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,under your nose and check for breath.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:20.56,0:06:22.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then Brother Kevin
Dialogue: 0,0:06:22.13,0:06:26.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so clearly laying out these two ways
Dialogue: 0,0:06:26.21,0:06:30.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that men approach God.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:30.08,0:06:32.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,One: By blood sacrifice
Dialogue: 0,0:06:32.64,0:06:34.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,offered in faith -
Dialogue: 0,0:06:34.73,0:06:35.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I love that point -
Dialogue: 0,0:06:35.97,0:06:38.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that brings us to God.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:38.26,0:06:39.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So glorious.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:39.90,0:06:47.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It makes us accepted to God by Him.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:47.25,0:06:49.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the other way,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:49.64,0:06:52.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is offering our "very best" to God
Dialogue: 0,0:06:52.72,0:06:55.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like He now owes us something,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:55.10,0:06:57.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because we showed up to give Him our best,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:57.21,0:06:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and how that is utterly rejected by God.
