- How many of you remember that national advertising campaign
- 00:01:37.558 --> 00:01:39.426
- National advertising campaign that counted up all of

- That counted up all of the costs that were associated
- 00:01:40.528 --> 00:01:42.196
- The costs that were associated with an experience,
- 00:01:42.263 --> 00:01:43.430
- With an experience, and then at the end,
- 00:01:43.497 --> 00:01:44.532
- And then at the end, said that the value of
- 00:01:44.598 --> 00:01:45.966
- Said that the value of the experience was priceless?
- 00:01:46.033 --> 00:01:48.636
- The experience was priceless? you know,
- 00:01:48.702 --> 00:01:49.236
- You know, you bought a ticket to
- 00:01:49.303 --> 00:01:49.937
- You bought a ticket to the ball game, $150.
- 00:01:50.004 --> 00:01:52.072
- The ball game, $150. you must have only bought one.
- 00:01:52.139 --> 00:01:53.974
- You must have only bought one. (laughter)
- 00:01:54.041 --> 00:01:55.876
- (laughter) hot dogs and popcorn, $50,
- 00:01:55.943 --> 00:01:57.845
- Hot dogs and popcorn, $50, ball cap, $45.
- 00:01:57.912 --> 00:01:59.713
- Ball cap, $45. remembering the night you
- 00:01:59.780 --> 00:02:01.015
- Remembering the night you caught your first fly ball,
- 00:02:01.081 --> 00:02:04.151
- Caught your first fly ball, priceless.
- 00:02:04.218 --> 00:02:06.020
- Priceless. (laughter)
- 00:02:06.086 --> 00:02:07.922
- (laughter) and the reason that they could
- 00:02:07.988 --> 00:02:09.256
- And the reason that they could do such a thing is because
- 00:02:09.323 --> 00:02:10.357
- Do such a thing is because what they were talking about
- 00:02:10.424 --> 00:02:11.425
- What they were talking about was the difference between
- 00:02:11.492 --> 00:02:12.426
- Was the difference between cost and value.
- 00:02:12.493 --> 00:02:15.095
- Cost and value. and there's a lot of people
- 00:02:15.162 --> 00:02:15.963
- And there's a lot of people who count the cost of what
- 00:02:16.030 --> 00:02:18.599
- Who count the cost of what they are giving to god without
- 00:02:18.666 --> 00:02:20.401
- They are giving to god without understanding the value of
- 00:02:20.467 --> 00:02:22.403
- Understanding the value of the experience.
- 00:02:22.469 --> 00:02:24.338
- The experience. when you look at
- 00:02:24.405 --> 00:02:25.472
- When you look at the commercial,
- 00:02:25.539 --> 00:02:26.207
- The commercial, you saw people who were
- 00:02:26.273 --> 00:02:27.241
- You saw people who were willingly giving the costs
- 00:02:27.308 --> 00:02:29.076
- Willingly giving the costs because they appreciated
- 00:02:29.143 --> 00:02:30.578
- Because they appreciated the value of the experience,
- 00:02:30.644 --> 00:02:32.213
- The value of the experience, to the point that they said,
- 00:02:32.279 --> 00:02:33.414
- To the point that they said, "it was priceless."
- 00:02:33.480 --> 00:02:35.950
- "it was priceless." we should do the same thing
- 00:02:36.016 --> 00:02:37.551
- We should do the same thing here on sunday
- 00:02:37.618 --> 00:02:38.652
- Here on sunday in the lord's house.
- 00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:39.520
- In the lord's house. we should view our opportunity
- 00:02:39.587 --> 00:02:41.388
- We should view our opportunity to be here as the same type of
- 00:02:41.455 --> 00:02:43.457
- To be here as the same type of experience.
- 00:02:43.524 --> 00:02:44.258
- Experience. it doesn't matter what
- 00:02:44.325 --> 00:02:45.125
- It doesn't matter what the cost is,
- 00:02:45.192 --> 00:02:45.826
- The cost is, the value is priceless.
- 00:02:45.893 --> 00:02:48.429
- The value is priceless. [amen.]
- 00:02:48.495 --> 00:02:48.996
- [amen.] [that's right.]
- 00:02:49.063 --> 00:02:49.563
- [that's right.] because when you look at it
- 00:02:49.630 --> 00:02:50.297
- Because when you look at it from heaven's perspective,
- 00:02:50.364 --> 00:02:51.265
- From heaven's perspective, here's how they see it.
- 00:02:51.332 --> 00:02:52.499
- Here's how they see it. they consider what they paid
- 00:02:52.566 --> 00:02:54.668
- They consider what they paid for the exchange of you having
- 00:02:54.735 --> 00:02:56.570
- For the exchange of you having the opportunity to be here,
- 00:02:56.637 --> 00:02:58.038
- The opportunity to be here, and they gave the very best
- 00:02:58.105 --> 00:02:59.506
- And they gave the very best they had when god sent his son
- 00:02:59.573 --> 00:03:01.675
- They had when god sent his son to an old-rugged cross,
- 00:03:01.742 --> 00:03:03.010
- To an old-rugged cross, that he might die that we
- 00:03:03.077 --> 00:03:04.378
- That he might die that we would live.
- 00:03:04.445 --> 00:03:05.713
- Would live. [amen.]
- 00:03:05.779 --> 00:03:07.114
- [amen.] it's priceless.
- 00:03:07.181 --> 00:03:08.949
- It's priceless. jesus counted the cost
- 00:03:09.016 --> 00:03:10.184
- Jesus counted the cost in mark 8, when he said,
- 00:03:10.251 --> 00:03:11.485
- In mark 8, when he said, "what shall it profit a man
- 00:03:11.552 --> 00:03:12.886
- "what shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world
- 00:03:12.953 --> 00:03:14.755
- If he gains the whole world and loses his soul?"
- 00:03:14.822 --> 00:03:17.658
- And loses his soul?" that means that if bill gates
- 00:03:17.725 --> 00:03:19.093
- That means that if bill gates and jeff bezos gave you all of
- 00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:21.362
- And jeff bezos gave you all of their fortunes,
- 00:03:21.428 --> 00:03:22.463
- Their fortunes, and they're not.
- 00:03:22.529 --> 00:03:24.198
- And they're not. (laughter)
- 00:03:24.265 --> 00:03:26.166
- (laughter) jesus said,
- 00:03:26.233 --> 00:03:26.900
- Jesus said, take all of that
- 00:03:26.967 --> 00:03:28.135
- Take all of that and throw it away.
- 00:03:28.202 --> 00:03:29.403
- And throw it away. it's not worth losing
- 00:03:29.470 --> 00:03:30.471
- It's not worth losing your soul.
- 00:03:30.537 --> 00:03:31.639
- Your soul. [amen!]
- 00:03:31.705 --> 00:03:32.539
- [amen!] he found your soul to be
- 00:03:32.606 --> 00:03:34.108
- He found your soul to be so priceless that he gave
- 00:03:34.174 --> 00:03:36.076
- So priceless that he gave everything he had,
- 00:03:36.143 --> 00:03:37.478
- Everything he had, his own life,
- 00:03:37.544 --> 00:03:38.746
- His own life, that you might be redeemed.
- 00:03:38.812 --> 00:03:40.147
- That you might be redeemed. and he did it when you weren't
- 00:03:40.214 --> 00:03:41.715
- And he did it when you weren't worth dying for.
- 00:03:41.782 --> 00:03:42.850
- Worth dying for. because romans 5 says that
- 00:03:42.916 --> 00:03:44.485
- Because romans 5 says that while we were yet sinners,
- 00:03:44.551 --> 00:03:46.287
- While we were yet sinners, when we were at our worst,
- 00:03:46.353 --> 00:03:47.888
- When we were at our worst, he was at his very best.
- 00:03:47.955 --> 00:03:49.690
- He was at his very best. and he gave his life that we
- 00:03:49.757 --> 00:03:51.625
- And he gave his life that we might be redeemed.
- 00:03:51.692 --> 00:03:52.593
- Might be redeemed. this is why 1 corinthians
- 00:03:52.660 --> 00:03:53.894
- This is why 1 corinthians says,
- 00:03:53.961 --> 00:03:54.528
- Says, "you were bought with a price."
- 00:03:54.595 --> 00:03:56.630
- "you were bought with a price." you didn't get here cheaply.
- 00:03:56.697 --> 00:03:58.499
- You didn't get here cheaply. he gave everything he had.
- 00:03:58.565 --> 00:04:00.734
- He gave everything he had. therefore,
- 00:04:00.801 --> 00:04:01.235
- Therefore, "glorify god in your body
- 00:04:01.302 --> 00:04:03.203
- "glorify god in your body and in your spirit,
- 00:04:03.270 --> 00:04:04.371
- And in your spirit, which are gods."
- 00:04:04.438 --> 00:04:06.373
- Which are gods." the price has been paid
- 00:04:06.440 --> 00:04:08.809
- The price has been paid for you to be here.
- 00:04:08.876 --> 00:04:10.477
- For you to be here. you didn't even have to buy
- 00:04:10.544 --> 00:04:11.478
- You didn't even have to buy admission tickets to get in.
- 00:04:11.545 --> 00:04:13.280
- Admission tickets to get in. jesus made a way where there
- 00:04:13.347 --> 00:04:15.282
- Jesus made a way where there seems to be no way.
- 00:04:15.349 --> 00:04:16.684
- Seems to be no way. he took off your filthy,
- 00:04:16.750 --> 00:04:18.319
- He took off your filthy, unrighteous garments,
- 00:04:18.385 --> 00:04:19.687
- Unrighteous garments, and he covered you
- 00:04:19.753 --> 00:04:20.754
- And he covered you and he cleansed you.
- 00:04:20.821 --> 00:04:21.922
- And he cleansed you. you don't even have to go buy
- 00:04:21.989 --> 00:04:23.290
- You don't even have to go buy the jersey for the home team.
- 00:04:23.357 --> 00:04:24.958
- The jersey for the home team. he wrapped you in a robe of
- 00:04:25.025 --> 00:04:26.327
- He wrapped you in a robe of righteousness.
- 00:04:26.393 --> 00:04:27.294

- You look like all the saints throughout all of the ages,
- 00:04:30.798 --> 00:04:32.199
- Throughout all of the ages, because jesus made you

- Because jesus made you look like you belong!
- 00:04:33.667 --> 00:04:35.836
- Look like you belong! (applause)

- "hey, i've got free tickets, and i've got an all-access

- With people before this, and people had worshiped god
- 00:10:37.397 --> 00:10:38.699

- Individually prior to this, but this is the first time
- 00:10:40.734 --> 00:10:41.935
- But this is the first time that all of israel
- 00:10:42.002 --> 00:10:43.603

- 00:10:50.210 --> 00:10:51.912
- Exodus 24 is because the bible says, "god does not change."
- 00:10:51.978 --> 00:10:53.947

- But jesus also said, "whatever you ask the father
- 00:12:14.161 --> 00:12:15.262

- An invitation. that comes from god.
- 00:14:53.253 --> 00:14:55.288
- That comes from god. and then worship includes
- 00:14:55.355 --> 00:14:57.223
- And then worship includes a revelation from the word
- 00:14:57.290 --> 00:14:58.925
- A revelation from the word of god.
- 00:14:58.992 --> 00:15:00.894

- Without the word. and one of the greatest

- And one of the greatest tragedies that we have
- 00:15:05.231 --> 00:15:06.366
- Tragedies that we have in the church today is that
- 00:15:06.433 --> 00:15:07.834

- 00:15:13.740 --> 00:15:14.207
- Performance, but you will not have
- 00:15:14.274 --> 00:15:15.075

- You may have a full house that's entertained,
- 00:15:19.145 --> 00:15:20.013
- That's entertained, but you will not have

- That place. you say,
- 00:15:25.852 --> 00:15:26.152
- You say, "well, how can you say that?"
- 00:15:26.219 --> 00:15:27.220
- "well, how can you say that?" whenever you read exodus 24:1,
- 00:15:27.287 --> 00:15:29.856
- Whenever you read exodus 24:1, god said,
- 00:15:29.923 --> 00:15:30.423
- God said, "come up here and worship me."
- 00:15:30.490 --> 00:15:32.125

- "this is what the lord shared with me."
- 00:15:49.009 --> 00:15:51.044
- With me." that's the word of god.
- 00:15:51.111 --> 00:15:53.980
- That's the word of god. and in verse 3,
- 00:15:54.047 --> 00:15:56.016

- Why? it's not just the musical
- 00:16:12.165 --> 00:16:13.266
- It's not just the musical portion of the service.
- 00:16:13.333 --> 00:16:14.401
- Portion of the service. worship is all for him.
- 00:16:14.467 --> 00:16:16.536
- Worship is all for him. everything we do is worshiping
- 00:16:16.603 --> 00:16:18.271
- Everything we do is worshiping him,
- 00:16:18.338 --> 00:16:18.905

- [amen.] hebrews 10 says,
- 00:16:23.877 --> 00:16:25.178
- Hebrews 10 says, "we worship because jesus
- 00:16:25.245 --> 00:16:26.713
- "we worship because jesus replaced the veil that was
- 00:16:26.780 --> 00:16:28.048
- Replaced the veil that was in the temple
- 00:16:28.114 --> 00:16:28.948
- In the temple with his own flesh."
- 00:16:29.015 --> 00:16:30.316
- With his own flesh." that means that he is now
- 00:16:30.383 --> 00:16:31.818
- That means that he is now the barrier between us and god.
- 00:16:31.885 --> 00:16:33.720
- The barrier between us and god. and he, jesus, has said,
- 00:16:33.787 --> 00:16:35.088
- And he, jesus, has said, "you call on me and you go
- 00:16:35.155 --> 00:16:36.756
- "you call on me and you go through that barrier,
- 00:16:36.823 --> 00:16:37.724
- Through that barrier, straight into the throne
- 00:16:37.791 --> 00:16:38.591
- Straight into the throne room."
- 00:16:38.658 --> 00:16:39.793
- Room." in john 1, it says,
- 00:16:39.859 --> 00:16:41.194
- In john 1, it says, "the word became --" what?
- 00:16:41.261 --> 00:16:43.029
- "the word became --" what? "-- flesh,
- 00:16:43.096 --> 00:16:43.663
- "-- flesh, and it dwelt among us."
- 00:16:43.730 --> 00:16:44.764
- And it dwelt among us." so if jesus replaced it
- 00:16:44.831 --> 00:16:46.232
- So if jesus replaced it with his flesh,
- 00:16:46.299 --> 00:16:47.067

- But there's three kinds of givers that he describes.
- 00:19:05.471 --> 00:19:06.639
- Givers that he describes. he says there's a grudging
- 00:19:06.706 --> 00:19:07.740
- He says there's a grudging giver,
- 00:19:07.807 --> 00:19:09.342
- Giver, meaning that you just got
- 00:19:09.409 --> 00:19:10.043
- Meaning that you just got a bad attitude about it.
- 00:19:10.109 --> 00:19:12.845
- A bad attitude about it. there's a necessity giver,
- 00:19:12.912 --> 00:19:15.381
- There's a necessity giver, which means that you do it
- 00:19:15.448 --> 00:19:16.716
- Which means that you do it for reasons of your own.
- 00:19:16.783 --> 00:19:18.718
- For reasons of your own. and then there's
- 00:19:18.785 --> 00:19:19.252
- And then there's a cheerful giver.
- 00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:21.754
- A cheerful giver. here's three kinds of givers.
- 00:19:21.821 --> 00:19:24.357
- Here's three kinds of givers. let's start with the grudging
- 00:19:24.424 --> 00:19:25.358
- Let's start with the grudging giver.
- 00:19:25.425 --> 00:19:27.493
- Giver. a grudging giver is kind of
- 00:19:27.560 --> 00:19:28.761
- A grudging giver is kind of like a flint rock.
- 00:19:28.828 --> 00:19:31.364
- Like a flint rock. it has to be hit --
- 00:19:31.431 --> 00:19:33.166
- It has to be hit -- (hitting rocks)
- 00:19:33.233 --> 00:19:34.334
- (hitting rocks) (laughter)
- 00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:35.134
- (laughter) (hitting rocks)
- 00:19:35.201 --> 00:19:36.970
- (hitting rocks) -- before it gives you
- 00:19:37.036 --> 00:19:37.670
- -- before it gives you anything.
- 00:19:37.737 --> 00:19:38.404
- Anything. (hitting rocks)
- 00:19:38.471 --> 00:19:40.006
- (hitting rocks) no, no.
- 00:19:40.073 --> 00:19:41.107
- No, no. (hitting rocks)
- 00:19:41.174 --> 00:19:42.041
- (hitting rocks) it's time to take
- 00:19:42.108 --> 00:19:43.443
- It's time to take the offering.
- 00:19:43.509 --> 00:19:44.911
- The offering. (laughter)
- 00:19:44.978 --> 00:19:47.113
- (laughter) "i'll give a dollar."
- 00:19:47.180 --> 00:19:50.149
- "i'll give a dollar." (laughter)
- 00:19:50.216 --> 00:19:53.553
- (laughter) you have to work hard to get
- 00:19:53.620 --> 00:19:54.921
- You have to work hard to get anything out of it.
- 00:19:54.988 --> 00:19:56.155
- Anything out of it. (hitting rocks)
- 00:19:56.222 --> 00:19:57.190
- (hitting rocks) it'll give you a little spark
- 00:19:57.257 --> 00:19:58.458
- It'll give you a little spark every now and again,
- 00:19:58.524 --> 00:19:59.225
- Every now and again, but not every time.
- 00:19:59.292 --> 00:20:00.793
- But not every time. god looks down from heaven
- 00:20:00.860 --> 00:20:02.128
- God looks down from heaven and he's frustrated with some
- 00:20:02.195 --> 00:20:03.896
- And he's frustrated with some because they're grudging
- 00:20:03.963 --> 00:20:05.632
- Because they're grudging when they give.
- 00:20:05.698 --> 00:20:07.467
- When they give. don't be a grudging giver.
- 00:20:07.533 --> 00:20:10.069
- Don't be a grudging giver. and then there's necessity
- 00:20:10.136 --> 00:20:11.104
- And then there's necessity givers.
- 00:20:11.170 --> 00:20:12.472
- Givers. necessity givers are kind of
- 00:20:12.538 --> 00:20:13.506
- Necessity givers are kind of like sponges.
- 00:20:13.573 --> 00:20:14.707
- Like sponges. (squeezing sponge)
- 00:20:14.774 --> 00:20:15.675
- (squeezing sponge) they sit in god's house
- 00:20:15.742 --> 00:20:17.877
- They sit in god's house for years
- 00:20:17.944 --> 00:20:19.879
- For years and they hear the word.
- 00:20:19.946 --> 00:20:21.981
- And they hear the word. and they get submerged in his
- 00:20:22.048 --> 00:20:23.816
- And they get submerged in his presence when the choir sings.
- 00:20:23.883 --> 00:20:27.020
- Presence when the choir sings. and they come for
- 00:20:27.086 --> 00:20:27.954
- And they come for the experiences,
- 00:20:28.021 --> 00:20:29.589
- The experiences, but they don't ever do
- 00:20:29.656 --> 00:20:30.323
- But they don't ever do anything.
- 00:20:30.390 --> 00:20:31.324
- Anything. they never serve.
- 00:20:31.391 --> 00:20:32.992
- They never serve. they never offer
- 00:20:33.059 --> 00:20:33.993
- They never offer their assistance.
- 00:20:34.060 --> 00:20:35.528
- Their assistance. they don't do what the bible
- 00:20:35.595 --> 00:20:36.896
- They don't do what the bible says they should do.
- 00:20:36.963 --> 00:20:38.498
- Says they should do. and then the world suddenly
- 00:20:38.564 --> 00:20:40.266
- And then the world suddenly turns for them and some
- 00:20:40.333 --> 00:20:41.467
- Turns for them and some experience creates a problem
- 00:20:41.534 --> 00:20:43.503
- Experience creates a problem and a crisis.
- 00:20:43.569 --> 00:20:44.437
- And a crisis. and when they're twisted
- 00:20:44.504 --> 00:20:46.339
- And when they're twisted (squeezing sponge)
- 00:20:46.406 --> 00:20:47.473
- (squeezing sponge) and squeezed,
- 00:20:47.540 --> 00:20:49.108
- And squeezed, (squeezing sponge)
- 00:20:49.175 --> 00:20:51.177
- (squeezing sponge) what they've soaked up for
- 00:20:51.244 --> 00:20:52.578
- What they've soaked up for so long finally comes out of
- 00:20:52.645 --> 00:20:54.547
- So long finally comes out of them.
- 00:20:54.614 --> 00:20:56.449
- Them. and once it's out of them,
- 00:20:56.516 --> 00:20:58.418
- And once it's out of them, they go right back to soaking
- 00:20:58.484 --> 00:20:59.485
- They go right back to soaking it up.
- 00:20:59.552 --> 00:21:01.487
- It up. (laughter)
- 00:21:01.554 --> 00:21:02.488
- (laughter) these are necessity givers.
- 00:21:02.555 --> 00:21:05.224
- These are necessity givers. but the bible says the lord
- 00:21:05.291 --> 00:21:06.326
- But the bible says the lord loves a what?
- 00:21:06.392 --> 00:21:07.694
- Loves a what? [cheerful giver.]
- 00:21:07.760 --> 00:21:08.561
- [cheerful giver.] cheerful giver.
- 00:21:08.628 --> 00:21:09.595
- Cheerful giver. that's kinda like a honeycomb.
- 00:21:09.662 --> 00:21:12.231
- That's kinda like a honeycomb. the bible describes jesus
- 00:21:12.298 --> 00:21:13.533
- The bible describes jesus as honey in the honeycomb.
- 00:21:13.599 --> 00:21:16.402
- As honey in the honeycomb. what does that mean?
- 00:21:16.469 --> 00:21:18.204
- What does that mean? well, if you know anything
- 00:21:18.271 --> 00:21:19.005
- Well, if you know anything about honey,
- 00:21:19.072 --> 00:21:20.807
- About honey, the comb is really useless.
- 00:21:20.873 --> 00:21:24.911
- The comb is really useless. it's wasted wax that has
- 00:21:24.977 --> 00:21:27.780
- It's wasted wax that has no value until honey is placed
- 00:21:27.847 --> 00:21:31.284
- No value until honey is placed inside of it.
- 00:21:31.351 --> 00:21:32.852
- Inside of it. all by itself,
- 00:21:32.919 --> 00:21:34.120
- All by itself, it's not good for much.
- 00:21:34.187 --> 00:21:35.121
- It's not good for much. but when there's honey inside
- 00:21:35.188 --> 00:21:36.456
- But when there's honey inside of it,
- 00:21:36.522 --> 00:21:37.590
- Of it, it gives a wonderful offering.
- 00:21:37.657 --> 00:21:40.393
- It gives a wonderful offering. you and i are honeycomb.
- 00:21:40.460 --> 00:21:43.229
- You and i are honeycomb. without jesus inside of us,
- 00:21:43.296 --> 00:21:45.932
- Without jesus inside of us, we have nothing to give.
- 00:21:45.998 --> 00:21:48.101
- We have nothing to give. but when he pours himself
- 00:21:48.167 --> 00:21:49.736
- But when he pours himself into us,
- 00:21:49.802 --> 00:21:52.905
- Into us, suddenly,
- 00:21:52.972 --> 00:21:55.408
- Suddenly, all you've got to do is move us
- 00:21:55.475 --> 00:22:00.346
- All you've got to do is move us and we give.
- 00:22:00.413 --> 00:22:02.115
- And we give. and we just keep on giving.
- 00:22:02.181 --> 00:22:04.283
- And we just keep on giving. and we keep on giving.
- 00:22:04.350 --> 00:22:06.285
- And we keep on giving. you don't have to squeeze us.
- 00:22:06.352 --> 00:22:07.787
- You don't have to squeeze us. you don't have to twist us.
- 00:22:07.854 --> 00:22:09.322
- You don't have to twist us. you don't have to turn us.
- 00:22:09.389 --> 00:22:10.723
- You don't have to turn us. you don't have to strike us.
- 00:22:10.790 --> 00:22:12.425
- You don't have to strike us. jesus just pours out of us.
- 00:22:12.492 --> 00:22:14.627
- Jesus just pours out of us. he's put so much in us,
- 00:22:14.694 --> 00:22:16.028
- He's put so much in us, how can we not give back to
- 00:22:16.095 --> 00:22:17.563
- How can we not give back to him all the praise that he's
- 00:22:17.630 --> 00:22:19.365
- Him all the praise that he's worthy of?
- 00:22:19.432 --> 00:22:20.800
- Worthy of? (applause)
- 00:22:20.867 --> 00:22:21.434
- (applause) joy comes out of us.
- 00:22:21.501 --> 00:22:22.335
- Joy comes out of us. peace comes out of us.
- 00:22:22.402 --> 00:22:23.736
- Peace comes out of us. hope comes out of us.
- 00:22:23.803 --> 00:22:25.271
- Hope comes out of us. life comes out of us.
- 00:22:25.338 --> 00:22:26.906
- Life comes out of us. opportunity comes out of us.
- 00:22:26.973 --> 00:22:28.708
- Opportunity comes out of us. why?
- 00:22:28.775 --> 00:22:29.142
- Why? because jesus is in us.
- 00:22:29.208 --> 00:22:31.210
- Because jesus is in us. child of god,
- 00:22:31.277 --> 00:22:32.245
- Child of god, you don't have to hit me.

- You don't have to hit me. you don't have to twist me.

- You don't have to twist me. you don't have to do anything
- 00:22:35.248 --> 00:22:36.649
- You don't have to do anything but move me because jesus is
- 00:22:36.716 --> 00:22:38.818
- But move me because jesus is in me.
- 00:22:38.885 --> 00:22:39.619
- In me. and when you move me,
- 00:22:39.685 --> 00:22:40.987
- And when you move me, what's in me flows out of me.

- 00:23:23.863 --> 00:23:26.666
- A presentation, and a consecration.
- 00:23:26.732 --> 00:23:30.036
- And a consecration. what does it mean
- 00:23:30.102 --> 00:23:30.436
- What does it mean to consecrate something?
- 00:23:30.503 --> 00:23:33.639
- To consecrate something? it means that it's covered.
- 00:23:33.706 --> 00:23:36.409
- It means that it's covered. read exodus 24.
- 00:23:36.476 --> 00:23:38.544
- Read exodus 24. it tells us something very
- 00:23:38.611 --> 00:23:39.512
- It tells us something very peculiar in verses 7 and 8.
- 00:23:39.579 --> 00:23:41.047
- Peculiar in verses 7 and 8. it says that moses,
- 00:23:41.113 --> 00:23:42.048
- It says that moses, when they had sacrificed
- 00:23:42.114 --> 00:23:43.149
- When they had sacrificed the animals,
- 00:23:43.216 --> 00:23:43.783
- The animals, he took half of the blood
- 00:23:43.850 --> 00:23:45.051

- 00:23:48.221 --> 00:23:49.422
- The blood and he put it on the altar.
- 00:23:49.489 --> 00:23:51.757
- The altar. now the altar was the judgment
- 00:23:51.824 --> 00:23:53.092
- Now the altar was the judgment seat where god was looking
- 00:23:53.159 --> 00:23:55.127
- Seat where god was looking to judge the sin of sinners.
- 00:23:55.194 --> 00:23:57.296
- To judge the sin of sinners. and when he saw the blood,
- 00:23:57.363 --> 00:23:58.965
- And when he saw the blood, he gave them remission,
- 00:23:59.031 --> 00:24:00.366
- He gave them remission, meaning forgiveness of sin,
- 00:24:00.433 --> 00:24:01.767
- Meaning forgiveness of sin, which is why the bible says,
- 00:24:01.834 --> 00:24:02.869
- Which is why the bible says, "without the shedding
- 00:24:02.935 --> 00:24:03.970
- "without the shedding of blood,
- 00:24:04.036 --> 00:24:04.537
- Of blood, there is no remission of sin."
- 00:24:04.604 --> 00:24:07.173
- There is no remission of sin." but with the other half of
- 00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:08.608
- But with the other half of the blood that he put in
- 00:24:08.674 --> 00:24:09.609
- The blood that he put in the basin,
- 00:24:09.675 --> 00:24:10.343
- The basin, moses did something
- 00:24:10.409 --> 00:24:11.477
- Moses did something very peculiar.
- 00:24:11.544 --> 00:24:13.880
- Very peculiar. he took the blood,
- 00:24:13.946 --> 00:24:15.181
- He took the blood, and the bible says that he
- 00:24:15.248 --> 00:24:16.249
- And the bible says that he sprinkled it on the people.
- 00:24:16.315 --> 00:24:21.087
- Sprinkled it on the people. he went over all of the people
