You are, how slick you are.
00:00:34.814 --> 00:00:38.251
That doesn't have anything to do with anything.
00:00:38.251 --> 00:00:42.622
We were in need of a savior.
00:00:42.622 --> 00:00:44.224
Male announcer: god has given us a grace gift to help overcome

Taffi: we're gonna look at how jesus came, and part of his
00:01:55.028 --> 00:01:59.399
Assignment was to cause us to begin to walk and experience a
00:01:59.399 --> 00:02:06.906
Level playing field.
00:02:06.906 --> 00:02:09.075
Now, just in a brief summary and a synopsis i guess, i would go
00:02:09.075 --> 00:02:17.684
Back to genesis chapter 1, where they're in verse 26 and 27,
00:02:17.684 --> 00:02:23.656
Where the bible talks about how god made mankind.
00:02:23.656 --> 00:02:28.461
He says, "let us make man," and that word "man" means "mankind,"
00:02:28.461 --> 00:02:33.533
And it's plural, referring to the woman and the man in our
00:02:33.533 --> 00:02:38.238
Image and in our likeness.
00:02:38.238 --> 00:02:40.139
And he says, "let them," referring to mankind, "have
00:02:40.139 --> 00:02:43.643
Dominion, and let them have authority, and over the fish of
00:02:43.643 --> 00:02:48.448
The sea and all the things that were in there."
00:02:48.448 --> 00:02:51.784
And so both man and woman were created in the likeness and in
00:02:51.784 --> 00:02:58.725
The image of god.
00:02:58.725 --> 00:03:01.427
They both were given the authority by god to exercise, to
00:03:01.427 --> 00:03:09.702
Bring things into subjection.
00:03:09.702 --> 00:03:12.905
They had been given the authority through their words,
00:03:12.905 --> 00:03:17.243
Through their decisions, and god gave them the freedom to be able
00:03:17.243 --> 00:03:21.114
To make the decisions.
00:03:21.114 --> 00:03:22.448
He said, "all the trees of the garden that you can eat, but
00:03:22.448 --> 00:03:25.885
This one tree, you're not supposed to eat of.
00:03:25.885 --> 00:03:29.455
And so the freedom that god gave unto adam and unto eve, they
00:03:29.455 --> 00:03:34.727
Chose to eat of the fruit of the tree and to do the thing where
00:03:34.727 --> 00:03:39.265
The enemy subtly came and began to deceive them and caused them
00:03:39.265 --> 00:03:45.672
To get into a place where they ate of the fruit of the tree.
00:03:45.672 --> 00:03:48.841
The bible talks about how they saw the tree to be desired, to
00:03:48.841 --> 00:03:53.146
Make them wise, and how enticing, and, lord, they were
00:03:53.146 --> 00:03:58.318
Into eating of the fruit of the tree.
00:03:58.318 --> 00:04:01.621
And so they did eat.
00:04:01.621 --> 00:04:02.989
And of course, we know after that, the bible talks about how
00:04:02.989 --> 00:04:08.194
Their eyes were open and they saw things and they covered
00:04:08.194 --> 00:04:11.898
Themselves up, and over in genesis chapter 3 talked about
00:04:11.898 --> 00:04:18.104
How, as a result of them eating of the fruit of the tree, that
00:04:18.104 --> 00:04:21.474
The man would rule over the woman and the woman would be
00:04:21.474 --> 00:04:24.844
Affected as well.
00:04:24.844 --> 00:04:26.179
Things would happen in childbirth and offspring and the
00:04:26.179 --> 00:04:31.050
Enemy as well would be destined to crawl and all these kinds
00:04:31.050 --> 00:04:35.488
Of things.
00:04:35.488 --> 00:04:36.823
And so, it took jesus coming to undo all the things that the
00:04:36.823 --> 00:04:42.995
Enemy did in the garden of eden.
00:04:42.995 --> 00:04:47.500
To unwind and to take back the authority that the enemy had
00:04:47.500 --> 00:04:52.939
Been given by particularly adam, because the bible talks about
00:04:52.939 --> 00:04:57.944
How he wasn't deceived, but he had the authority.
00:04:57.944 --> 00:05:00.880
And even eve, as a result of them yielding to and deciding to
00:05:00.880 --> 00:05:07.520
Eat of the fruit of the tree that god told them not to
00:05:07.520 --> 00:05:09.655
Eat of.
00:05:09.655 --> 00:05:11.023
And so that decision and the consequence of that decision had
00:05:11.023 --> 00:05:16.562
Very dire impact on all of us.
00:05:16.562 --> 00:05:21.200
And so, as a result, the bible talked about how, you know, sin
00:05:21.200 --> 00:05:25.238
Was conceived and how as a result there were things that
00:05:25.238 --> 00:05:29.609
Were different.
00:05:29.609 --> 00:05:30.943
And so it took jesus coming to undo the plan of the enemy.
00:05:30.943 --> 00:05:34.080
So let's look at a couple of things here concerning the
00:05:34.080 --> 00:05:38.284
Playing field that jesus had to level out by coming, because he
00:05:38.284 --> 00:05:42.455
Had to end up giving his life in order for us to have access to
00:05:42.455 --> 00:05:48.060
What god's original plan, and his ideal is, from the
00:05:48.060 --> 00:05:52.532
Foundations of the world.
00:05:52.532 --> 00:05:55.168
And so during this time that the enemy had authority and under
00:05:55.168 --> 00:06:04.110
The law there were so many things that caused men and women
00:06:04.110 --> 00:06:09.749
To be on unequal playing and unlevel ground.
00:06:09.749 --> 00:06:14.687
Women, in many instances, had no rights.
00:06:14.687 --> 00:06:17.690
They were considered property.
00:06:17.690 --> 00:06:19.892
They were at a disadvantage, in many instances couldn't take
00:06:19.892 --> 00:06:25.498
Care of themselves, considered minors, and so it took jesus
00:06:25.498 --> 00:06:30.770
Coming and dying in order to empower and establish the access
00:06:30.770 --> 00:06:38.978
In the lives of his people, and so particularly as it relates to
00:06:38.978 --> 00:06:43.883
The playing field and leveling the playing field
00:06:43.883 --> 00:06:46.886
Concerning women.
00:06:46.886 --> 00:06:48.254
And so there were so many things that jesus came and things that
00:06:48.254 --> 00:06:52.124
He caused to take place.
00:06:52.124 --> 00:06:54.126
And so let's look in genesis chapter 17.
00:06:54.126 --> 00:06:57.363
I think this would be a good place to start.
00:06:57.363 --> 00:06:59.265
Verse 9, and we will kind of look at some things concerning
00:06:59.265 --> 00:07:07.740
The law in which boys, hebrew boys, jewish boys, were granted
00:07:07.740 --> 00:07:12.645
Access, and we can compare it with hebrew girls during that
00:07:12.645 --> 00:07:18.751
Time of living under the law and the difference between the
00:07:18.751 --> 00:07:23.956
Covenants that jesus came to deal with.
00:07:23.956 --> 00:07:27.960
And so in genesis chapter 17, verse 9, we're gonna read
00:07:27.960 --> 00:07:33.099
Through verse 14: "and god said unto abraham, 'thou shall keep
00:07:33.099 --> 00:07:36.502
My covenant, therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in
00:07:36.502 --> 00:07:42.975
Their generations.
00:07:42.975 --> 00:07:45.278
This is my covenant, which you shall keep between me and you
00:07:45.278 --> 00:07:48.748
And thy seed after thee.
00:07:48.748 --> 00:07:50.950
Every,'" listen to this, "'every man child among you shall
00:07:50.950 --> 00:07:56.155
Be circumcised.
00:07:56.155 --> 00:07:57.790
And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it
00:07:57.790 --> 00:08:01.894
Shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.
00:08:01.894 --> 00:08:06.365
And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised
00:08:06.365 --> 00:08:09.602
Among you.'"
00:08:09.602 --> 00:08:10.970
So the child who was--had to be circumcised after eight days.
00:08:10.970 --> 00:08:18.010
And he says, "'he that is born in the house, or bought with
00:08:18.010 --> 00:08:20.746
Money of a stranger, which is not of thy seed.
00:08:20.746 --> 00:08:24.483
He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with money
00:08:24.483 --> 00:08:28.354
Must needs be circumcised; and my covenant shall be in your
00:08:28.354 --> 00:08:34.226
Flesh for an everlasting covenant.'"
00:08:34.226 --> 00:08:39.131
And so he says, '"the uncircumcised man child whose
00:08:39.131 --> 00:08:44.036
Flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be
00:08:44.036 --> 00:08:48.874
Cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant.'"
00:08:48.874 --> 00:08:54.714
So the circumcision was a big deal, and to the point where
00:08:54.714 --> 00:08:59.852
Jewish boys within that time period had to fulfill the
00:08:59.852 --> 00:09:05.558
Covenant of circumcision.
00:09:05.558 --> 00:09:07.760
And so it was through this that the covenant was established,
00:09:07.760 --> 00:09:13.099
And it took jesus coming to create a new covenant and to
00:09:13.099 --> 00:09:18.371
Establish things on our behalf.
00:09:18.371 --> 00:09:21.140
Now, look over at mark chapter 15 because jesus had to die, and
00:09:21.140 --> 00:09:27.213
Well, let's go to isaiah 53, and we can see where god's plan for
00:09:27.213 --> 00:09:32.551
Jesus was for him to sacrifice, to be the propitiation for us.
00:09:32.551 --> 00:09:38.891
He saw us in time needing to be able to have the ability to
00:09:38.891 --> 00:09:45.164
Stand on equal ground in christ and not be subject and ruled by
00:09:45.164 --> 00:09:51.070
The enemy based on the old covenant that we, as dr. dollar
00:09:51.070 --> 00:09:56.809
Has taught us, under the law weren't able to fulfill.
00:09:56.809 --> 00:10:00.880
So it says here in isaiah 53, look at verse 10.
00:10:00.880 --> 00:10:04.717
Verse 10: "yet it pleased the lord to bruise him," referring
00:10:04.717 --> 00:10:12.625
To jesus, "it pleased god to bruise him; he hath put him to
00:10:12.625 --> 00:10:20.866
Grief; when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin."
00:10:20.866 --> 00:10:27.239
He says, "he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and
00:10:27.239 --> 00:10:34.180
The pleasure of the lord shall prosper in his hand."
00:10:34.180 --> 00:10:40.519
Look at this in the new living translation.
00:10:40.519 --> 00:10:43.556
We wanna look at that in another translation here.
00:10:43.556 --> 00:10:49.962
"but it was the lord's good plan to crush him and cause
00:10:49.962 --> 00:10:54.433
Him grief.
00:10:54.433 --> 00:10:55.801
Yet when his life is made an offering for sin, he will have
00:10:55.801 --> 00:10:59.171
Many descendants."
00:10:59.171 --> 00:11:00.740
Think of that, "he will enjoy a long life, and the lord's good
00:11:00.740 --> 00:11:07.847
Plan," he says, "will prosper in his hand."
00:11:07.847 --> 00:11:14.086
And so jesus had to give up his life, he had to sacrifice
00:11:14.086 --> 00:11:20.025
Himself, become the offering, burnt offering.
00:11:20.025 --> 00:11:25.364
There are all kinds of descriptions of sacrifices under
00:11:25.364 --> 00:11:29.101
The old testament, but jesus had to become the ultimate sacrifice
00:11:29.101 --> 00:11:32.805
And not just cover our sins under the old testament, but he
00:11:32.805 --> 00:11:39.445
Had to remit to totally--not through the blood of bulls and
00:11:39.445 --> 00:11:44.750
Animals and goats, but it was his precious blood that was
00:11:44.750 --> 00:11:48.954
Necessary, that had to be shed on our behalf.
00:11:48.954 --> 00:11:53.159
You know why?
00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:54.493
So he could level the playing field.
00:11:54.493 --> 00:11:58.130
And so it wasn't where only men, jewish men, could have the
00:11:58.130 --> 00:12:05.504
Blessing and be privileged.
00:12:05.504 --> 00:12:08.307
But now, through jesus's blood, glory be to god, women could
00:12:08.307 --> 00:12:13.512
Be blessed.
00:12:13.512 --> 00:12:14.847
Children could be blessed.
00:12:14.847 --> 00:12:17.616
You didn't have to be jewish.
00:12:17.616 --> 00:12:19.251
If you were other ethnicity, you could experience the blessing
00:12:19.251 --> 00:12:23.455
Of god.
00:12:23.455 --> 00:12:24.824
And so the scripture says, "it pleased the lord to bruise him,"
00:12:24.824 --> 00:12:29.929
Because of the assignment.
00:12:29.929 --> 00:12:32.765
Let's look at this assignment here in mark's gospel chapter
00:12:32.765 --> 00:12:36.135
15, verse 36, because i'm telling you it's no need for you
00:12:36.135 --> 00:12:44.643
To think less than or that you've not been privy to walk in
00:12:44.643 --> 00:12:50.783
This blessing, but i'm telling you that was why jesus came and
00:12:50.783 --> 00:12:55.554
Why he gave his life.
00:12:55.554 --> 00:12:57.189
And even in this instance where he has a conversation with god
00:12:57.189 --> 00:13:01.026
Here in verse 36, because everything changed when
00:13:01.026 --> 00:13:06.465
Jesus died.
00:13:06.465 --> 00:13:10.002
Everything was turned right side up.
00:13:10.002 --> 00:13:16.242
All access was given as a result of his death because, you know,
00:13:16.242 --> 00:13:23.983
Under the old testament, it was priests who were male and they
00:13:23.983 --> 00:13:28.120
Had to go in on behalf of others, and when they went in,
00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:33.726
They would stand there and, if they hadn't taken the necessary
00:13:33.726 --> 00:13:36.862
Preparation, they would fall dead.
00:13:36.862 --> 00:13:40.733
But thank god, we don't have to have a man to go behind the
00:13:40.733 --> 00:13:44.403
Curtain anymore on our behalf, we can go directly.
00:13:44.403 --> 00:13:52.378
And so jesus asked god here in mark chapter 15, he says, "and
00:13:52.378 --> 00:13:57.516
One ran and filled a sponge full of vinegar, and put it on a
00:13:57.516 --> 00:14:02.221
Reed, and gave him to drink, saying, 'let us alone; let us
00:14:02.221 --> 00:14:08.327
See whether elias will come to take him down.'
00:14:08.327 --> 00:14:15.100
And jesus cried with a loud voice," and the scripture says,
00:14:15.100 --> 00:14:19.972
"he gave up the ghost."
00:14:19.972 --> 00:14:23.042
Go to the next verse.
00:14:23.042 --> 00:14:24.376
Let me see.
00:14:24.376 --> 00:14:25.744
I'm trying to find--okay, and then it says, "the veil of the
00:14:25.744 --> 00:14:29.748
Temple was ripped in two from the top to the bottom."
00:14:29.748 --> 00:14:39.325
Oh my goodness.
00:14:39.325 --> 00:14:41.794
And then people who were there began to realize and recognize
00:14:41.794 --> 00:14:46.031
That, "truly this man was the son of god."
00:14:46.031 --> 00:14:50.502
And so jesus, in one of the gospels, he had said and quoted,
00:14:50.502 --> 00:14:57.643
"my god, why have you forsaken me?
00:14:57.643 --> 00:15:04.683
Why have you turned your back on me?"
00:15:04.683 --> 00:15:08.954
Because you gotta understand, in order for jesus to take on the
00:15:08.954 --> 00:15:12.858
Sins and take on illness and take on all the things that were
00:15:12.858 --> 00:15:17.930
Required in order for him to pay the price, god forsook him.
00:15:17.930 --> 00:15:23.202
And he said, "my god, why have you forsaken me?"
00:15:23.202 --> 00:15:27.006
And that was part of the plan and that was part of the price
00:15:27.006 --> 00:15:31.110
That he had to pay for you and for me.
00:15:31.110 --> 00:15:36.048
And so it took jesus dying in order for us to get into a place
00:15:36.048 --> 00:15:42.187
Where we could live.
00:15:42.187 --> 00:15:45.491
Whoo, aren't you glad about it?
00:15:45.491 --> 00:15:53.465
Look over at colossians chapter 2, verse 11 and 12.
00:15:53.465 --> 00:15:57.936
He had to level the playing field so that he can empower and
00:15:57.936 --> 00:16:05.811
Change the destiny of young people and change the destiny of
00:16:05.811 --> 00:16:10.949
Those who were not jewish, those who were not male, those who
00:16:10.949 --> 00:16:16.455
Were not rich.
00:16:16.455 --> 00:16:19.391
He had to make it where they could begin to live and
00:16:19.391 --> 00:16:26.198
Experience god's best for their life.
00:16:26.198 --> 00:16:30.502
So colossians 2, 11 and 12, it says, "in whom you were
00:16:30.502 --> 00:16:37.342
Circumcised," see, you know, we have been circumcised, but not
00:16:37.342 --> 00:16:43.315
Like the eight-year-old under the old covenant.
00:16:43.315 --> 00:16:46.351
He says, "in whom also you are circumcised with the
00:16:46.351 --> 00:16:52.091
Circumcision made without hands,
00:16:52.091 --> 00:16:58.697
In putting off the body of the
00:16:58.697 --> 00:17:03.368
Sins of the flesh by the circumcision of christ."
00:17:03.368 --> 00:17:09.975
And look in verse 12, he said, "buried with him," you know,
00:17:09.975 --> 00:17:13.145
When he died and when he was put in that tomb, when he was placed
00:17:13.145 --> 00:17:20.285
In the grave, we were "buried with him in baptism wherein also
00:17:20.285 --> 00:17:25.557
You are risen with him through the faith of the operation of
00:17:25.557 --> 00:17:33.765
God, who hath raised him from the dead."
00:17:33.765 --> 00:17:40.839
Glory be to god.
00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:45.110
So when we were in sin, it took jesus coming so that we can
00:17:45.110 --> 00:17:51.083
Begin to be born again and be alive, made alive because we
00:17:51.083 --> 00:17:57.089
Were spiritually dead and he resurrected us with him.
00:17:57.089 --> 00:18:00.392
Look at 1 peter chapter 3, verse 12.
00:18:00.392 --> 00:18:04.429
Thank you jesus.
00:18:04.429 --> 00:18:08.167
So the level playing field gives everyone equal footing because
00:18:08.167 --> 00:18:16.708
At the foot of the cross, we all look the same.
00:18:16.708 --> 00:18:22.581
Come on somebody.
00:18:22.581 --> 00:18:26.919
It doesn't matter how smart you are, how fast you are, how witty
00:18:26.919 --> 00:18:31.256
You are, how slick you are.
00:18:31.256 --> 00:18:34.626
That doesn't have anything to do with anything.
00:18:34.626 --> 00:18:39.031
We were in need of a savior so that we could have eternal life
00:18:39.031 --> 00:18:46.405
With christ.
00:18:46.405 --> 00:18:49.007
So it says, "for the eyes," look at verse 18 of chapter 3; 1
00:18:49.007 --> 00:18:57.349
Peter: "for christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just
00:18:57.349 --> 00:19:03.655
For the unjust," ooh, my gosh,
00:19:03.655 --> 00:19:11.730
"that he might bring us to god,
00:19:11.730 --> 00:19:16.235
Being put to death in the flesh, but quickened," made alive, "by
00:19:16.235 --> 00:19:24.843
The spirit."
00:19:24.843 --> 00:19:27.579
Because when the holy ghost came on the day of pentecost, when
00:19:27.579 --> 00:19:32.718
Jesus said, "i'm going away.
00:19:32.718 --> 00:19:35.587
But even though i go away, i'm gonna send back a comforter, and
00:19:35.587 --> 00:19:42.194
He will be with you."
00:19:42.194 --> 00:19:44.696
And so that holy spirit that came on the day of pentecost in
00:19:44.696 --> 00:19:49.234
Acts chapter 2, it didn't just fill the men, the jewish men,
00:19:49.234 --> 00:19:54.539
But according to scripture, it fell on everybody.
00:19:54.539 --> 00:20:02.714
"that he might bring us to god, being put to death in the flesh,
00:20:02.714 --> 00:20:06.551
That we might be quickened," the scripture says, "by the spirit."
00:20:06.551 --> 00:20:11.556
Somebody say, "i'm quickened by the spirit."
00:20:11.556 --> 00:20:15.961
That word "quicken" means to be made alive.
00:20:15.961 --> 00:20:20.966
Alive in christ.
00:20:20.966 --> 00:20:22.534
We get born again and the holy ghost comes on the inside of us
00:20:22.534 --> 00:20:26.505
And we, you know, are no longer in a place where we're bound
00:20:26.505 --> 00:20:31.543
By sin.
00:20:31.543 --> 00:20:32.878
Sin no longer reigns and rules over us.
00:20:32.878 --> 00:20:35.547
The scripture says, look in verse 19, "we're quickened by
00:20:35.547 --> 00:20:39.117
The spirit.
00:20:39.117 --> 00:20:40.452
By which also he went up and preached unto the spirits in
00:20:40.452 --> 00:20:43.922
Prison; which sometime were disobedient, when once the
00:20:43.922 --> 00:20:50.529
Longsuffering of god waited in the days of noah, while the ark
00:20:50.529 --> 00:20:54.800
Was preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved
00:20:54.800 --> 00:20:58.804
By water.
00:20:58.804 --> 00:21:01.006
The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us
00:21:01.006 --> 00:21:07.145
(not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the
00:21:07.145 --> 00:21:10.849
Answer of a good conscience toward god,)
00:21:10.849 --> 00:21:14.453
By the resurrection of jesus christ."
00:21:14.453 --> 00:21:18.357
And so the equal footing that we're talking about is the fact
00:21:18.357 --> 00:21:23.795
That now we have access.
00:21:23.795 --> 00:21:25.797
Somebody say, "i have access."
00:21:25.797 --> 00:21:30.569
You have access.
00:21:30.569 --> 00:21:32.270
Glory be to god.
00:21:32.270 --> 00:21:36.808
You have access, you have opportunity, and in christ, you
00:21:36.808 --> 00:21:43.048
Have a fair chance because of what jesus did.
00:21:43.048 --> 00:21:48.053
Now, we know the enemy is trying to do everything and he's behind
00:21:48.053 --> 00:21:52.524
This, still trying to create havoc and strategies to kill, to
00:21:52.524 --> 00:22:00.432
Steal, and to destroy.
00:22:00.432 --> 00:22:04.503
You may say, "well, that's-- taffi, i don't feel like there's
00:22:04.503 --> 00:22:08.373
A level playing field.
00:22:08.373 --> 00:22:10.509
I don't feel like there's equal footing, that there's
00:22:10.509 --> 00:22:13.345
Equal ground."
00:22:13.345 --> 00:22:14.780
You know why? because the devil is loose.
00:22:14.780 --> 00:22:20.986
But once we begin to know who we are in god and we know our
00:22:20.986 --> 00:22:24.823
Identity in him and we understand what and who we are
00:22:24.823 --> 00:22:31.963
In christ, we can begin to live our best life, the highest type
00:22:31.963 --> 00:22:37.936
Of life, the "zoe" kind of life.
00:22:37.936 --> 00:22:40.972
The life that is full, that overflows, the abundant life.
00:22:40.972 --> 00:22:46.144
The qualitative life as well as the quantitative life, that
00:22:46.144 --> 00:22:50.115
Abundant life is both qualitative and quantitative.
00:22:50.115 --> 00:22:55.654
But there is a devil loose and the devil is trying to do
00:22:55.654 --> 00:22:58.223
Everything that he can to cause us not to believe that we have
00:22:58.223 --> 00:23:05.997
The opportunity to live and walk on a level playing field because
00:23:05.997 --> 00:23:14.906
We are in christ.
00:23:14.906 --> 00:23:16.274
Somebody say, "i'm in christ."
00:23:16.274 --> 00:23:19.110
Because we are in christ, we are in him.
00:23:19.110 --> 00:23:21.480
He says over in 2 corinthians chapter 5, verse 7, he says, "if
00:23:21.480 --> 00:23:26.618
Any man or any woman, mankind is in christ, he is a new creation.
00:23:26.618 --> 00:23:33.258
A new species of being.
00:23:33.258 --> 00:23:36.928
All things have passed away, and what--all things have
00:23:36.928 --> 00:23:39.898
Become new."
00:23:39.898 --> 00:23:41.933
So we are in christ and because we are in christ, we stand on
00:23:41.933 --> 00:23:47.639
Equal ground and the field has been leveled.
00:23:47.639 --> 00:23:54.212
And somebody said, "well, how many times do i get to swing?"
00:23:54.212 --> 00:23:57.182
You get to swing until you hit the ball.
00:23:57.182 --> 00:24:04.389
I read the end of the book.
00:24:04.389 --> 00:24:05.857
Glory be to god.
00:24:05.857 --> 00:24:07.359
And we win.
00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:09.961
We win.
00:24:09.961 --> 00:24:11.463
We are victorious.
00:24:11.463 --> 00:24:14.733
Male announcer: are you ready to bounce back from adversity
00:24:18.870 --> 00:24:21.506
And trouble?
00:24:21.506 --> 00:24:22.874
Because of the finished works of jesus, all barriers blocking our
00:24:22.874 --> 00:24:26.244
Full access to god have been removed.
00:24:26.244 --> 00:24:29.147
The cross gave equal footing to all, regardless of gender
00:24:29.147 --> 00:24:33.318
Or nationality.
00:24:33.318 --> 00:24:34.653
In taffi dollar's five-message series, "leveling the playing
00:24:34.653 --> 00:24:37.956
Field," she offers tools to access the many promises god
00:24:37.956 --> 00:24:41.927
Has made.
00:24:41.927 --> 00:24:43.261
Taffi: everything changed when jesus died, because at the foot
00:24:43.261 --> 00:24:47.265
Of the cross we all look the same.
00:24:47.265 --> 00:24:50.468
You have access, you have opportunity, and in christ, you
00:24:50.468 --> 00:24:54.906
Have a fair chance.
00:24:54.906 --> 00:24:56.775
I read the end of the book.
00:24:56.775 --> 00:24:58.343
Glory be to god.
00:24:58.343 --> 00:24:59.811
And we win.
00:24:59.811 --> 00:25:01.146

Flourish peters: jesus christ the same yesterday, today.
00:25:47.158 --> 00:25:50.295
