- If you could tell
- 00:01:33.343 --> 00:01:34.010

- 00:01:34.077 --> 00:01:35.178
- Of all the things that god was able to do in every language
- 00:01:35.245 --> 00:01:37.280
- Was able to do in every language using every word

- Using every word that was possible,
- 00:01:38.548 --> 00:01:39.449
- That was possible, you still couldn't say
- 00:01:39.516 --> 00:01:40.683
- You still couldn't say enough because
- 00:01:40.750 --> 00:01:43.052
- Enough because the verse doesn't say that,
- 00:01:43.119 --> 00:01:44.053
- The verse doesn't say that, "our god is able,"
- 00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:45.121
- "our god is able," and then it limits him.
- 00:01:45.188 --> 00:01:46.589
- And then it limits him. it says that,
- 00:01:46.656 --> 00:01:47.223
- It says that, "our god is able
- 00:01:47.290 --> 00:01:48.358
- "our god is able to do exceedingly."
- 00:01:48.424 --> 00:01:50.894
- To do exceedingly." that means that whatever
- 00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:51.628
- That means that whatever you think he's able to do,
- 00:01:51.694 --> 00:01:52.962
- You think he's able to do, he's already past that.
- 00:01:53.029 --> 00:01:56.566
- He's already past that. and whenever it comes
- 00:01:56.633 --> 00:01:57.367
- And whenever it comes to the things that he
- 00:01:57.433 --> 00:01:58.134
- To the things that he can bring into your life,
- 00:01:58.201 --> 00:01:59.936
- Can bring into your life, it doesn't say that he can
- 00:02:00.003 --> 00:02:01.104
- It doesn't say that he can only bring so much
- 00:02:01.171 --> 00:02:02.005
- Only bring so much and then that's enough,
- 00:02:02.071 --> 00:02:03.139
- And then that's enough, it says that when it comes
- 00:02:03.206 --> 00:02:04.107
- It says that when it comes to what he can bring
- 00:02:04.174 --> 00:02:04.908
- To what he can bring into your life,
- 00:02:04.974 --> 00:02:05.808
- Into your life, it's not just enough,
- 00:02:05.875 --> 00:02:07.744
- It's not just enough, it's abundantly.
- 00:02:07.810 --> 00:02:09.879
- It's abundantly. that means everything
- 00:02:09.946 --> 00:02:10.713
- That means everything that you think he has for you,
- 00:02:10.780 --> 00:02:12.682
- That you think he has for you, it's that and so much more.
- 00:02:12.749 --> 00:02:16.219
- It's that and so much more. however, for all of the things
- 00:02:16.286 --> 00:02:19.022
- However, for all of the things that god is exceedingly
- 00:02:19.088 --> 00:02:20.390
- That god is exceedingly and abundantly able to do,
- 00:02:20.456 --> 00:02:22.525
- And abundantly able to do, he does not do them unless
- 00:02:22.592 --> 00:02:24.327
- He does not do them unless you are in the equation
- 00:02:24.394 --> 00:02:28.298
- You are in the equation because verse 21 tells us
- 00:02:28.364 --> 00:02:29.299
- Because verse 21 tells us very clearly how
- 00:02:29.365 --> 00:02:31.768
- Very clearly how he chooses to pour
- 00:02:31.834 --> 00:02:33.636
- He chooses to pour out this glory.
- 00:02:33.703 --> 00:02:35.738
- Out this glory. it says, "to him be glory
- 00:02:35.805 --> 00:02:38.174
- It says, "to him be glory in the church."
- 00:02:38.241 --> 00:02:40.376
- In the church." say that with me,
- 00:02:40.443 --> 00:02:41.244
- Say that with me, "to him be glory in the church."
- 00:02:41.311 --> 00:02:45.415
- "to him be glory in the church." that means that when
- 00:02:45.481 --> 00:02:46.316
- That means that when god is going to do exceedingly
- 00:02:46.382 --> 00:02:47.784
- God is going to do exceedingly and abundantly,
- 00:02:47.850 --> 00:02:48.918
- And abundantly, he's going to do it through
- 00:02:48.985 --> 00:02:50.587
- He's going to do it through the church that he created.
- 00:02:50.653 --> 00:02:53.223

- And he's not just gonna do it once,
- 00:02:53.890 --> 00:02:54.924
- Gonna do it once, the verse tells us clearly
- 00:02:54.991 --> 00:02:56.092
- The verse tells us clearly he's going to do it
- 00:02:56.159 --> 00:02:57.260
- He's going to do it in all generations.
- 00:02:57.327 --> 00:03:01.564
- In all generations. is our god all sufficient?
- 00:03:01.631 --> 00:03:02.999
- Is our god all sufficient? without a question.
- 00:03:03.066 --> 00:03:04.734
- Without a question. he doesn't need anyone
- 00:03:04.801 --> 00:03:05.902
- He doesn't need anyone for anything,
- 00:03:05.969 --> 00:03:07.136
- For anything, but he chooses us.
- 00:03:07.203 --> 00:03:10.440
- But he chooses us. the verse very carefully
- 00:03:10.506 --> 00:03:11.074
- The verse very carefully tells us,
- 00:03:11.140 --> 00:03:12.308

- "to him be glory." everything that the church does
- 00:03:15.445 --> 00:03:17.413

- Should be for the purpose of bringing god glory.
- 00:03:18.681 --> 00:03:23.119
- Of bringing god glory. and then it says,
- 00:03:23.186 --> 00:03:23.720
- And then it says, "in all generations."
- 00:03:23.786 --> 00:03:26.956
- "in all generations." that means that god
- 00:03:27.023 --> 00:03:28.224
- That means that god has a plan
- 00:03:28.291 --> 00:03:29.359

- 00:05:28.311 --> 00:05:29.612
- We looked at paul's pleading with the church.
- 00:05:29.679 --> 00:05:30.113
- With the church. he said,
- 00:05:30.179 --> 00:05:30.513
- He said, "brothers, i beseech you.
- 00:05:30.580 --> 00:05:31.848
- "brothers, i beseech you. lay your life down."
- 00:05:31.914 --> 00:05:35.518
- Lay your life down." it's a reasonable service.
- 00:05:35.585 --> 00:05:38.020
- It's a reasonable service. and then in the rest
- 00:05:38.087 --> 00:05:39.455
- And then in the rest of the chapter,
- 00:05:39.522 --> 00:05:39.956
- Of the chapter, he tells us what a life
- 00:05:40.022 --> 00:05:41.290
- He tells us what a life that has been laid
- 00:05:41.357 --> 00:05:42.024
- That has been laid down looks like.
- 00:05:42.091 --> 00:05:44.827
- Down looks like. he tells us that the life
- 00:05:44.894 --> 00:05:45.828
- He tells us that the life that is laid down
- 00:05:45.895 --> 00:05:46.729
- That is laid down is willing to serve
- 00:05:46.796 --> 00:05:48.765
- Is willing to serve and willing to serve
- 00:05:48.831 --> 00:05:49.766
- And willing to serve in what brings glory to god,
- 00:05:49.832 --> 00:05:52.735
- In what brings glory to god, not what brings glory to self.
- 00:05:52.802 --> 00:05:57.907
- Not what brings glory to self. you read this in romans 12:3.
- 00:05:57.974 --> 00:05:59.876
- You read this in romans 12:3. it says,
- 00:05:59.942 --> 00:06:00.510
- It says, "do not think of yourself
- 00:06:00.576 --> 00:06:03.146
- "do not think of yourself more highly than you ought."
- 00:06:03.212 --> 00:06:06.916
- More highly than you ought." now, how many of you read
- 00:06:06.983 --> 00:06:08.251
- Now, how many of you read that verse and you
- 00:06:08.317 --> 00:06:09.986
- That verse and you know that that is fabulous
- 00:06:10.052 --> 00:06:11.854
- Know that that is fabulous advice for other people?
- 00:06:11.921 --> 00:06:15.792
- Advice for other people? i mean, that's one
- 00:06:15.858 --> 00:06:16.259
- I mean, that's one of those verses you wanna
- 00:06:16.325 --> 00:06:17.059
- Of those verses you wanna bless somebody with.
- 00:06:17.126 --> 00:06:19.962
- Bless somebody with. "i read this and was
- 00:06:20.029 --> 00:06:20.730
- "i read this and was thinking about you today."
- 00:06:20.797 --> 00:06:25.234
- Thinking about you today." but this isn't the verse
- 00:06:25.301 --> 00:06:26.035
- But this isn't the verse that you read and look
- 00:06:26.102 --> 00:06:27.437
- That you read and look in the mirror and say,
- 00:06:27.503 --> 00:06:28.538
- In the mirror and say, "that's me."
- 00:06:28.604 --> 00:06:30.740
- "that's me." but paul says that when
- 00:06:30.807 --> 00:06:31.808
- But paul says that when you've laid your life down,
- 00:06:31.874 --> 00:06:32.942
- You've laid your life down, you don't think of yourself
- 00:06:33.009 --> 00:06:34.277
- You don't think of yourself when it comes to service,
- 00:06:34.343 --> 00:06:35.011
- When it comes to service, you think of those
- 00:06:35.077 --> 00:06:35.611
- You think of those you can serve.
- 00:06:35.678 --> 00:06:37.613
- You can serve. but what you cannot
- 00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:38.347
- But what you cannot do when it comes
- 00:06:38.414 --> 00:06:39.081
- Do when it comes to service is tell god
- 00:06:39.148 --> 00:06:40.249
- To service is tell god where you want to serve
- 00:06:40.316 --> 00:06:41.551
- Where you want to serve because that's not service,
- 00:06:41.617 --> 00:06:43.753
- Because that's not service, that's selfish.
- 00:06:43.820 --> 00:06:45.788
- That's selfish. a lot of people could serve
- 00:06:45.855 --> 00:06:47.223
- A lot of people could serve but don't serve
- 00:06:47.290 --> 00:06:48.057
- But don't serve because they can't
- 00:06:48.124 --> 00:06:48.591
- Because they can't have a microphone.
- 00:06:48.658 --> 00:06:50.560
- Have a microphone. they could do
- 00:06:50.626 --> 00:06:51.127
- They could do but they won't do
- 00:06:51.194 --> 00:06:51.994
- But they won't do because they can't
- 00:06:52.061 --> 00:06:52.662
- Because they can't be seen and heard.
- 00:06:52.728 --> 00:06:55.198
- Be seen and heard. they have opportunity
- 00:06:55.264 --> 00:06:56.165
- They have opportunity to be a blessing,
- 00:06:56.232 --> 00:06:56.999
- To be a blessing, but because they're
- 00:06:57.066 --> 00:06:57.600
- But because they're not sitting at a table
- 00:06:57.667 --> 00:06:58.468
- Not sitting at a table with decision makers,
- 00:06:58.534 --> 00:06:59.669
- With decision makers, and they're not recognized
- 00:06:59.735 --> 00:07:00.803
- And they're not recognized for their abilities
- 00:07:00.870 --> 00:07:01.637
- For their abilities and their talents,
- 00:07:01.704 --> 00:07:02.205
- And their talents, they don't wanna do anything.
- 00:07:02.271 --> 00:07:04.841
- They don't wanna do anything. here's the problem
- 00:07:04.907 --> 00:07:05.475
- Here's the problem with that.
- 00:07:05.541 --> 00:07:06.209
- With that. there's not one
- 00:07:06.275 --> 00:07:07.176
- There's not one of us who have one gift
- 00:07:07.243 --> 00:07:08.344
- Of us who have one gift or one talent
- 00:07:08.411 --> 00:07:09.145
- Or one talent that god didn't give you.
- 00:07:09.212 --> 00:07:12.048
- That god didn't give you. everything that you
- 00:07:12.114 --> 00:07:12.849
- Everything that you have that you're good at,
- 00:07:12.915 --> 00:07:14.317
- Have that you're good at, you didn't get that
- 00:07:14.383 --> 00:07:14.984
- You didn't get that on your own,
- 00:07:15.051 --> 00:07:15.685
- On your own, god gave it to you.
- 00:07:15.751 --> 00:07:18.154
- God gave it to you. and your responsibility
- 00:07:18.221 --> 00:07:19.422
- And your responsibility is to let god use it.
- 00:07:19.489 --> 00:07:21.090
- Is to let god use it. why?
- 00:07:21.157 --> 00:07:21.724
- Why? according to this verse,
- 00:07:21.791 --> 00:07:22.859
- According to this verse, for his glory,
- 00:07:22.925 --> 00:07:24.393
- For his glory, not self-promotion.
- 00:07:24.460 --> 00:07:27.163
- Not self-promotion. romans 12:6 says that
- 00:07:27.230 --> 00:07:29.432
- Romans 12:6 says that we have differing gifts
- 00:07:29.499 --> 00:07:31.033
- We have differing gifts according to the grace
- 00:07:31.100 --> 00:07:32.201
- According to the grace which god has given us.
- 00:07:32.268 --> 00:07:34.270
- Which god has given us. how did you get your gift?
- 00:07:34.337 --> 00:07:35.671
- How did you get your gift? god's grace gave it to you.
- 00:07:35.738 --> 00:07:37.507
- God's grace gave it to you. how did i get my gifts?
- 00:07:37.573 --> 00:07:38.875
- How did i get my gifts? god's grace gave
- 00:07:38.941 --> 00:07:40.076
- God's grace gave them to me.
- 00:07:40.142 --> 00:07:41.010
- Them to me. what is our responsibility
- 00:07:41.077 --> 00:07:42.311
- What is our responsibility with the gifts?
- 00:07:42.378 --> 00:07:44.213
- With the gifts? use them.
- 00:07:44.280 --> 00:07:46.215
- Use them. don't brag about 'em,
- 00:07:46.282 --> 00:07:48.384
- Don't brag about 'em, use them.
- 00:07:48.451 --> 00:07:49.852
- Use them. it says,
- 00:07:49.919 --> 00:07:50.353
- It says, "having then gifts according
- 00:07:50.419 --> 00:07:51.521
- "having then gifts according to the grace that is given us,"
- 00:07:51.587 --> 00:07:53.489
- To the grace that is given us," read this with me,
- 00:07:53.556 --> 00:07:54.457
- Read this with me, "let us use them."
- 00:07:54.524 --> 00:07:59.095
- "let us use them." what good is a gift if you
- 00:07:59.161 --> 00:08:00.029
- What good is a gift if you don't open it?
- 00:08:00.096 --> 00:08:02.198
- Don't open it? what good is a talent
- 00:08:02.265 --> 00:08:03.299
- What good is a talent if you don't share it?
- 00:08:03.366 --> 00:08:06.202
- If you don't share it? you see,
- 00:08:06.269 --> 00:08:06.669
- You see, when you use your gift
- 00:08:06.736 --> 00:08:08.104
- When you use your gift and you begin to do good
- 00:08:08.170 --> 00:08:10.139
- And you begin to do good to the body of christ,
- 00:08:10.206 --> 00:08:11.407
- To the body of christ, not for the purpose
- 00:08:11.474 --> 00:08:12.408
- Not for the purpose of glorifying self,
- 00:08:12.475 --> 00:08:13.543
- Of glorifying self, but for the purpose
- 00:08:13.609 --> 00:08:14.210
- But for the purpose of glorifying god,
- 00:08:14.277 --> 00:08:15.444
- Of glorifying god, you begin to see god increase
- 00:08:15.511 --> 00:08:18.381
- You begin to see god increase and multiply his power
- 00:08:18.447 --> 00:08:20.383
- And multiply his power in your life.
- 00:08:20.449 --> 00:08:22.184
- In your life. romans 12, it says,
- 00:08:22.251 --> 00:08:23.486
- Romans 12, it says, "with brotherly love
- 00:08:23.553 --> 00:08:24.387
- "with brotherly love in honor giving preference
- 00:08:24.453 --> 00:08:26.155
- In honor giving preference to one another,
- 00:08:26.222 --> 00:08:27.290
- To one another, celebrate one another."
- 00:08:27.356 --> 00:08:29.559
- Celebrate one another." that's what this verse
- 00:08:29.625 --> 00:08:30.326
- That's what this verse is telling us.
- 00:08:30.393 --> 00:08:31.127
- Is telling us. don't compete with each other,
- 00:08:31.193 --> 00:08:32.828
- Don't compete with each other, celebrate one another.
- 00:08:32.895 --> 00:08:34.664
- Celebrate one another. when you see someone using
- 00:08:34.730 --> 00:08:36.198
- When you see someone using their gift for god's glory,
- 00:08:36.265 --> 00:08:38.100
- Their gift for god's glory, cheer 'em on.
- 00:08:38.167 --> 00:08:40.269
- Cheer 'em on. don't look at 'em and go,
- 00:08:40.336 --> 00:08:41.003
- Don't look at 'em and go, "i don't know
- 00:08:41.070 --> 00:08:41.704
- "i don't know who she thinks she is."
- 00:08:41.771 --> 00:08:42.538
- [laughter]
- 00:08:43.072 --> 00:08:44.173
- She is who god
- 00:08:44.707 --> 00:08:45.374
- She is who god created her to be.
- 00:08:45.441 --> 00:08:46.742
- Created her to be. be happy for that.
- 00:08:46.809 --> 00:08:48.544
- Be happy for that. and you be who god created
- 00:08:48.611 --> 00:08:49.946
- And you be who god created you to be.
- 00:08:50.012 --> 00:08:50.513
- [applause]
- 00:08:50.846 --> 00:08:55.351
- Why is this important?
- 00:08:56.319 --> 00:08:57.320
- Why is this important? because we are
- 00:08:57.386 --> 00:08:57.887
- Because we are the body of christ.
- 00:08:57.954 --> 00:09:00.056
- The body of christ. and any time a body
- 00:09:00.122 --> 00:09:01.724
- And any time a body fights itself, it's sickness.
- 00:09:01.791 --> 00:09:05.494
- Fights itself, it's sickness. any time a body fights itself,
- 00:09:05.561 --> 00:09:07.163
- Any time a body fights itself, it doesn't function.
- 00:09:07.229 --> 00:09:09.665
- It doesn't function. and the world that we're
- 00:09:09.732 --> 00:09:10.266
- And the world that we're living in cannot afford
- 00:09:10.333 --> 00:09:11.867
- Living in cannot afford for the body of christ
- 00:09:11.934 --> 00:09:12.969
- For the body of christ to fight itself.
- 00:09:13.035 --> 00:09:17.073
- To fight itself. whenever your body
- 00:09:17.139 --> 00:09:17.807
- Whenever your body begins to fight itself,
- 00:09:17.873 --> 00:09:19.275
- Begins to fight itself, it's called cancer.
- 00:09:19.342 --> 00:09:20.276
- It's called cancer. and if you don't get
- 00:09:20.343 --> 00:09:20.943
- And if you don't get in front of cancer,
- 00:09:21.010 --> 00:09:21.611
- In front of cancer, cancer kills you.
- 00:09:21.677 --> 00:09:23.879
- Cancer kills you. if there's anything that
- 00:09:23.946 --> 00:09:24.780
- If there's anything that will destroy the body
- 00:09:24.847 --> 00:09:26.649
- Will destroy the body of christ in this generation,
- 00:09:26.716 --> 00:09:28.184
- Of christ in this generation, it's division because
- 00:09:28.250 --> 00:09:30.753
- It's division because the bible says,
- 00:09:30.820 --> 00:09:31.420
- The bible says, "a house divided against
- 00:09:31.487 --> 00:09:32.888
- "a house divided against itself cannot stand."
- 00:09:32.955 --> 00:09:36.092
- Itself cannot stand." the point is this,
- 00:09:36.158 --> 00:09:37.159
- The point is this, when you come into god's
- 00:09:37.226 --> 00:09:39.228
- When you come into god's presence and you use what
- 00:09:39.295 --> 00:09:40.730
- Presence and you use what god gave you for god's glory,
- 00:09:40.796 --> 00:09:43.099
- God gave you for god's glory, and you do it to serve
- 00:09:43.165 --> 00:09:44.500
- And you do it to serve the body,
- 00:09:44.567 --> 00:09:45.301
- The body, collectively god gets
- 00:09:45.368 --> 00:09:47.570
- Collectively god gets the opportunity to show others
- 00:09:47.637 --> 00:09:49.805
- The opportunity to show others what a great
- 00:09:49.872 --> 00:09:50.539
- What a great and glorious god he is.
- 00:09:50.606 --> 00:09:52.341
- And glorious god he is. church, what does
- 00:09:52.408 --> 00:09:53.376
- Church, what does this mean for us?
- 00:09:53.442 --> 00:09:54.310
- This mean for us? it means that
- 00:09:54.377 --> 00:09:55.011
- It means that we have work to do,
- 00:09:55.077 --> 00:09:57.046
- We have work to do, i have work to do,
- 00:09:57.113 --> 00:09:58.447
- I have work to do, you have work to do.
- 00:09:58.514 --> 00:10:00.349
- You have work to do. you have a talent,
- 00:10:00.416 --> 00:10:01.817
- You have a talent, you have a gift,
- 00:10:01.884 --> 00:10:03.052
- You have a gift, you have something god
- 00:10:03.119 --> 00:10:04.387
- You have something god wants you to use.
- 00:10:04.453 --> 00:10:05.454
- Wants you to use. your gift is not my gift,
- 00:10:05.521 --> 00:10:07.556
- Your gift is not my gift, and my gift is not your gift.
- 00:10:07.623 --> 00:10:09.458
- And my gift is not your gift. but if we use them together,
- 00:10:09.525 --> 00:10:11.927
- But if we use them together, we will see god
- 00:10:11.994 --> 00:10:13.129
- We will see god do greater things than
- 00:10:13.195 --> 00:10:14.263
- Do greater things than we ever thought possible
- 00:10:14.330 --> 00:10:16.198
- We ever thought possible in this generation
- 00:10:16.265 --> 00:10:17.767
- In this generation and the next.

- It says, "go into all the world
- 00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:19.868
- "go into all the world and make disciples."
- 00:15:19.935 --> 00:15:21.704
- And make disciples." say that with me.
- 00:15:21.770 --> 00:15:22.604
- Say that with me. "and make disciples."
- 00:15:22.671 --> 00:15:24.707
- "and make disciples." the reason you need
- 00:15:24.773 --> 00:15:25.307
- The reason you need to remember that the commission
- 00:15:25.374 --> 00:15:26.976
- To remember that the commission is to make disciples
- 00:15:27.042 --> 00:15:28.310
- Is to make disciples is because sometimes
- 00:15:28.377 --> 00:15:29.211
- Is because sometimes we think that the commission
- 00:15:29.278 --> 00:15:30.479
- We think that the commission is to win the lost.
- 00:15:30.546 --> 00:15:31.480
- Is to win the lost. that's not the full commission.
- 00:15:31.547 --> 00:15:33.082
- That's not the full commission. the commission requires
- 00:15:33.148 --> 00:15:34.783
- The commission requires that we win the lost,
- 00:15:34.850 --> 00:15:35.851
- That we win the lost, but once the lost
- 00:15:35.918 --> 00:15:36.719
- But once the lost are won to christ,
- 00:15:36.785 --> 00:15:37.619
- Are won to christ, we have to teach,
- 00:15:37.686 --> 00:15:38.420
- We have to teach, we have to train,
- 00:15:38.487 --> 00:15:39.421
- We have to train, we have to enable them.
- 00:15:39.488 --> 00:15:40.756
- We have to enable them. and that's called
- 00:15:40.823 --> 00:15:41.557
- And that's called disciple making.
- 00:15:41.623 --> 00:15:44.326
- Disciple making. in order to make disciples,
- 00:15:44.393 --> 00:15:45.861
- In order to make disciples, you have to have commitment.
- 00:15:45.928 --> 00:15:48.330
- You have to have commitment. commitment that goes
- 00:15:48.397 --> 00:15:49.631
- Commitment that goes beyond comfort.
- 00:15:49.698 --> 00:15:51.000
- Beyond comfort. because trust me,
- 00:15:51.066 --> 00:15:51.834
- Because trust me, if it's comfortable,
- 00:15:51.900 --> 00:15:52.901
- If it's comfortable, it's not committed.
- 00:15:52.968 --> 00:15:55.738
- It's not committed. in order to make disciples,
- 00:15:55.804 --> 00:15:56.705
- In order to make disciples, you have to be willing.
- 00:15:56.772 --> 00:15:59.775
- You have to be willing. willing to be used.
- 00:15:59.842 --> 00:16:03.212
- Willing to be used. not willing to be served,
- 00:16:03.278 --> 00:16:05.280
- Not willing to be served, but willing to be sent,
- 00:16:05.347 --> 00:16:07.416
- But willing to be sent, even when it's inconvenient.
- 00:16:07.483 --> 00:16:09.918
- Even when it's inconvenient. in order to make disciples,
- 00:16:09.985 --> 00:16:10.986
- In order to make disciples, you have to do it
- 00:16:11.053 --> 00:16:11.787
- You have to do it by god's grace,
- 00:16:11.854 --> 00:16:12.888
- By god's grace, because believe me,
- 00:16:12.955 --> 00:16:14.023
- Because believe me, what jesus said
- 00:16:14.089 --> 00:16:14.957
- What jesus said is evermore true,
- 00:16:15.024 --> 00:16:16.091
- Is evermore true, "apart from me,
- 00:16:16.158 --> 00:16:17.559
- "apart from me, you can do nothing."
- 00:16:17.626 --> 00:16:21.964
- You can do nothing." i wanna show you how
