  • ...
  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:00.356
  • Greg laurie: it's so easy to
  • 00:00:04.027 --> 00:00:05.228
  • Say, "well, the church should do this and other
  • 00:00:05.328 --> 00:00:07.230
  • Christians should do that."
  • 00:00:07.363 --> 00:00:08.598
  • Don't worry about the church.
  • 00:00:08.731 --> 00:00:09.999
  • Don't worry about other christians.
  • 00:00:10.133 --> 00:00:10.800
  • Start with you.
  • 00:00:11.634 --> 00:00:13.002
  • Are you living a passionate relationship with christ
  • 00:00:13.002 --> 00:00:17.707
  • Right now?
  • 00:00:17.707 --> 00:00:19.075
  • If not, return to the lord again.
  • 00:00:19.075 --> 00:00:23.012
  • Recommit yourself to the lord again.
  • 00:00:23.012 --> 00:00:26.649
  • ♪ this is the day ♪
  • 00:00:30.053 --> 00:00:32.555
  • ♪ the day when life begins ♪
  • 00:00:32.555 --> 00:00:37.627
  • ♪ this is the day ♪
  • 00:00:37.627 --> 00:00:40.196
  • ♪ the day when life begins ♪♪
  • 00:00:40.196 --> 00:00:45.034
  • Greg: america is at a crossroads right now.
  • 00:00:47.937 --> 00:00:52.909
  • It seems in many ways that our nation is unraveling before our
  • 00:00:52.909 --> 00:00:56.646
  • Very eyes.
  • 00:00:56.646 --> 00:00:58.148
  • Crime is up, drug use is up, hopelessness is up, and i think
  • 00:00:58.148 --> 00:01:04.220
  • The primary reason for this is because we have rejected what
  • 00:01:04.220 --> 00:01:08.358
  • God says in his word.
  • 00:01:08.358 --> 00:01:10.960
  • The bible says be careful because if you sow the wind,
  • 00:01:10.960 --> 00:01:14.330
  • You'll reap the whirlwind.
  • 00:01:14.330 --> 00:01:16.599
  • We're in a time where many are wanting to redefine what god has
  • 00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:20.904
  • Already defined.
  • 00:01:20.904 --> 00:01:22.839
  • And in many ways the times we're living in now reminds me a lot
  • 00:01:22.839 --> 00:01:26.776
  • Of the late '60s and the early '70s.
  • 00:01:26.776 --> 00:01:29.779
  • Drug use is up today.
  • 00:01:29.779 --> 00:01:31.648
  • Drug use was just really exploding into the culture
  • 00:01:31.648 --> 00:01:35.318
  • Back then.
  • 00:01:35.318 --> 00:01:36.653
  • Back in those days, we were taking drugs because we were on
  • 00:01:36.653 --> 00:01:40.423
  • A search, trying to find truth or something, at least.
  • 00:01:40.423 --> 00:01:44.794
  • Today, many take drugs just to escape their pain.
  • 00:01:44.794 --> 00:01:48.331
  • Ironically, marijuana and lsd use is up dramatically, the same
  • 00:01:48.331 --> 00:01:52.735
  • Drugs we were using back then.
  • 00:01:52.735 --> 00:01:54.504
  • In fact, i read recently more americans are smoking pot than
  • 00:01:54.504 --> 00:01:58.074
  • Cigarettes right now.
  • 00:01:58.074 --> 00:02:00.143
  • This has led to a full-blown opioid epidemic.
  • 00:02:00.143 --> 00:02:04.480
  • There's been a 300% increase in fentanyl deaths: 300 people a
  • 00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:11.688
  • Day die from fentanyl.
  • 00:02:11.688 --> 00:02:14.591
  • It's crazy.
  • 00:02:14.591 --> 00:02:15.959
  • This young generation today is looking for answers.
  • 00:02:15.959 --> 00:02:19.596
  • Self-harm is up 334%.
  • 00:02:19.596 --> 00:02:22.899
  • Overdoses are up 119%.
  • 00:02:22.899 --> 00:02:26.236
  • Anxiety and depression is up.
  • 00:02:26.236 --> 00:02:28.371
  • The us suicide rate has increased dramatically since the
  • 00:02:28.371 --> 00:02:32.075
  • Year 2000, and it's tripled for young girls.
  • 00:02:32.075 --> 00:02:35.645
  • Maybe that's why one expert dubbed generation z, "the
  • 00:02:35.645 --> 00:02:39.749
  • Hopeless generation."
  • 00:02:39.749 --> 00:02:41.551
  • Well, listen, i'm not gonna sit back and just watch this happen.
  • 00:02:41.551 --> 00:02:45.922
  • We've got to do something.
  • 00:02:45.922 --> 00:02:48.124
  • California, this is your wake-up call.
  • 00:02:48.124 --> 00:02:50.693
  • America, this is your wake-up call.
  • 00:02:50.693 --> 00:02:53.029
  • It's time to pray.
  • 00:02:53.029 --> 00:02:55.265
  • So you hear words like spiritual awakening, revival,
  • 00:02:59.302 --> 00:03:04.440
  • Jesus revolution.
  • 00:03:04.440 --> 00:03:05.808
  • You might wonder, what does that even mean?
  • 00:03:05.808 --> 00:03:08.044
  • Well, let's just take the word "revival" and demystify it a
  • 00:03:08.044 --> 00:03:12.348
  • Bit--a little bit.
  • 00:03:12.348 --> 00:03:13.683
  • It just means to restore, to restore to original condition.
  • 00:03:13.683 --> 00:03:18.154
  • So when i say a christian should be revived, what i'm really
  • 00:03:18.154 --> 00:03:21.391
  • Saying is a christian should just be, well, a christian.
  • 00:03:21.391 --> 00:03:26.095
  • A real christian.
  • 00:03:26.095 --> 00:03:27.430
  • See, there's a lot of fake christians out there right now.
  • 00:03:27.430 --> 00:03:31.601
  • There's a lot of posers, people that pretend to be believers but
  • 00:03:31.601 --> 00:03:35.505
  • Are not at all.
  • 00:03:35.505 --> 00:03:36.873
  • The apostle paul asked this questions, are you really
  • 00:03:36.873 --> 00:03:39.809
  • Christians or are you just pretending to be christians when
  • 00:03:39.809 --> 00:03:43.579
  • You really aren't at all?
  • 00:03:43.579 --> 00:03:45.815
  • Do you pass the test?
  • 00:03:45.815 --> 00:03:48.051
  • A lot of us are faking, but listen, you can fool all of the
  • 00:03:48.051 --> 00:03:51.287
  • People some of the time, you can fool some of the people all of
  • 00:03:51.287 --> 00:03:54.490
  • The time, but you can't fool god any of the time, right?
  • 00:03:54.490 --> 00:03:58.528
  • He knows.
  • 00:03:58.528 --> 00:04:00.430
  • He knows and you know.
  • 00:04:00.430 --> 00:04:02.432
  • So, i heard about a guy who was looking for some work, couldn't
  • 00:04:02.432 --> 00:04:06.135
  • Find a job anywhere and he heard they were hiring down at the
  • 00:04:06.135 --> 00:04:08.838
  • Local zoo.
  • 00:04:08.838 --> 00:04:10.273
  • He's kind of a big dude, so he goes down and says, "yeah, i'd
  • 00:04:10.273 --> 00:04:12.975
  • Like to get a job working here," and the guy said, "oh, i'm
  • 00:04:12.975 --> 00:04:15.311
  • Sorry, that job we were offering got taken, but i don't mean to
  • 00:04:15.311 --> 00:04:19.048
  • Insult you, sir, but you're a big man, and we could maybe use
  • 00:04:19.048 --> 00:04:23.286
  • You here in the zoo.
  • 00:04:23.286 --> 00:04:25.121
  • Here's the deal.
  • 00:04:25.121 --> 00:04:26.489
  • Our gorilla died the other day.
  • 00:04:26.489 --> 00:04:28.725
  • And we've ordered a new one and he's on his way, but we need
  • 00:04:28.725 --> 00:04:33.596
  • Someone to sort of stand in the gap, and don't be offended
  • 00:04:33.596 --> 00:04:36.499
  • By this.
  • 00:04:36.499 --> 00:04:37.834
  • If we made you a custom gorilla suit, would you be willing to
  • 00:04:37.834 --> 00:04:40.169
  • Pretend to be our gorilla until the real one arrives?"
  • 00:04:40.169 --> 00:04:44.807
  • Well, the guy was so broke, he said, "yeah, whatever," and he
  • 00:04:44.807 --> 00:04:47.744
  • Put on the gorilla suit.
  • 00:04:47.744 --> 00:04:49.112
  • He felt pretty stupid on day one when he walked out there.
  • 00:04:49.112 --> 00:04:51.314
  • He thought, everyone will know i'm a fraud, but they were
  • 00:04:51.314 --> 00:04:53.883
  • Buying it.
  • 00:04:53.883 --> 00:04:55.218
  • So pretty soon he's beating on his chest and he's swinging back
  • 00:04:55.218 --> 00:04:57.920
  • And forth.
  • 00:04:57.920 --> 00:04:59.255
  • By day three he's having the time of his life,
  • 00:04:59.255 --> 00:05:01.324
  • Swinging around.
  • 00:05:01.324 --> 00:05:03.259
  • Everyone believes he's a gorilla, and he got a little too
  • 00:05:03.259 --> 00:05:06.062
  • Excited as he swung in the vine and went a little too far and
  • 00:05:06.062 --> 00:05:09.432
  • Went out of the gorilla cage and into the lion's den.
  • 00:05:09.432 --> 00:05:15.304
  • And then a lion saw him and started walking quickly
  • 00:05:15.304 --> 00:05:18.040
  • Toward him.
  • 00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:19.409
  • The guy in the gorilla suit was terrified.
  • 00:05:19.409 --> 00:05:20.743
  • He couldn't contain himself any longer, and he yells
  • 00:05:20.743 --> 00:05:23.312
  • Out, "help!"
  • 00:05:23.312 --> 00:05:24.680
  • And the lion says, "shut up, or you'll get us both fired."
  • 00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:32.455
  • And the man in the gorilla suit was me.
  • 00:05:32.455 --> 00:05:34.056
  • I've never shared that story before.
  • 00:05:34.056 --> 00:05:36.993
  • Not really.
  • 00:05:36.993 --> 00:05:38.628
  • He was a faker, and there's fakers today.
  • 00:05:38.628 --> 00:05:42.598
  • We need a revival.
  • 00:05:42.598 --> 00:05:43.966
  • We need to be real christians.
  • 00:05:43.966 --> 00:05:45.401
  • The early church turned their world upside down.
  • 00:05:45.401 --> 00:05:48.838
  • Today, i fear the world is turning the church upside down.
  • 00:05:48.838 --> 00:05:51.974
  • It's time for us to let our light so shine for jesus christ
  • 00:05:51.974 --> 00:05:56.045
  • And live this life, earning us the right to share the gospel
  • 00:05:56.045 --> 00:05:59.916
  • With others, right?
  • 00:05:59.916 --> 00:06:05.288
  • We need a revival.
  • 00:06:05.288 --> 00:06:07.457
  • A great evangelist named billy sunday once said, "they tell me
  • 00:06:07.457 --> 00:06:10.493
  • A revival is only temporary, but so is a bath, and it does
  • 00:06:10.493 --> 00:06:15.031
  • You good."
  • 00:06:15.031 --> 00:06:16.532
  • Yeah, we could use that bath right now.
  • 00:06:16.532 --> 00:06:19.035
  • Revival is when god gets so sick and tired of being
  • 00:06:19.035 --> 00:06:21.938
  • Misrepresented, he shows up himself.
  • 00:06:21.938 --> 00:06:25.975
  • So i was talking to chuck smith once, who is regarded by most as
  • 00:06:25.975 --> 00:06:31.147
  • The father of the jesus movement.
  • 00:06:31.147 --> 00:06:33.950
  • And i asked him, "chuck, do you think we'll ever see another
  • 00:06:33.950 --> 00:06:38.454
  • Jesus revolution, another jesus movement?"
  • 00:06:38.454 --> 00:06:41.624
  • His response was, "greg, i don't know if we're desperate
  • 00:06:41.624 --> 00:06:45.361
  • Enough yet."
  • 00:06:45.361 --> 00:06:46.796
  • Well, some time has passed since then, and i think we may be
  • 00:06:46.796 --> 00:06:50.399
  • Desperate enough again.
  • 00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:52.602
  • The prophet habakkuk understood this when he prayed this prayer:
  • 00:06:52.602 --> 00:06:56.138
  • "i've heard all that you've done, lord.
  • 00:06:56.138 --> 00:06:57.874
  • I'm filled with awe by the amazing things you've done.
  • 00:06:57.874 --> 00:07:01.077
  • In this time of deep need, revive your work as you did in
  • 00:07:01.077 --> 00:07:05.648
  • Days gone by."
  • 00:07:05.648 --> 00:07:07.550
  • So some of you are young and you're saying, "wow, that must
  • 00:07:07.550 --> 00:07:09.719
  • Have been a cool time to be in the middle of a
  • 00:07:09.719 --> 00:07:11.521
  • Spiritual awakening."
  • 00:07:11.521 --> 00:07:13.022
  • Pray that god will do it in your time.
  • 00:07:13.022 --> 00:07:15.157
  • Listen, my generation, the boomers, our day is coming to
  • 00:07:15.157 --> 00:07:18.961
  • A close.
  • 00:07:18.961 --> 00:07:20.329
  • The boomers have done their thing.
  • 00:07:20.329 --> 00:07:21.664
  • Now it's time for the zoomers, okay?
  • 00:07:21.664 --> 00:07:24.667
  • It's time for you to have your own spiritual awakening.
  • 00:07:24.667 --> 00:07:27.537
  • My generation, the boomers, we've gone from acid rock to
  • 00:07:27.537 --> 00:07:31.641
  • Acid reflux.
  • 00:07:31.641 --> 00:07:35.144
  • Bands from our era are still touring.
  • 00:07:35.144 --> 00:07:37.213
  • The who, they're still out there playing in stadiums, but instead
  • 00:07:37.213 --> 00:07:40.750
  • Of singing, "talking about my generation," now they're
  • 00:07:40.750 --> 00:07:44.053
  • Singing, "talking about my medication."
  • 00:07:44.053 --> 00:07:46.622
  • See, things have changed.
  • 00:07:46.622 --> 00:07:48.991
  • So it's your turn now.
  • 00:07:48.991 --> 00:07:50.626
  • We're praying that your generation will have your own
  • 00:07:50.626 --> 00:07:53.462
  • Spiritual awakening.
  • 00:07:53.462 --> 00:07:54.830
  • You know, when we made this film, "jesus revolution," we did
  • 00:07:54.830 --> 00:07:58.167
  • Not make that to have a peace sign nostalgia fest of a bunch
  • 00:07:58.167 --> 00:08:02.805
  • Of old baby boomers.
  • 00:08:02.805 --> 00:08:04.640
  • Telling the story of a revival can inspire another generation
  • 00:08:04.640 --> 00:08:09.679
  • To pray for their own.
  • 00:08:09.679 --> 00:08:11.380
  • The fame of revival spreads the flame of revival.
  • 00:08:11.380 --> 00:08:15.518
  • So we're saying, lord, do it again.
  • 00:08:15.518 --> 00:08:18.020
  • Okay, now i'm gonna show you a scene from the "jesus
  • 00:08:18.020 --> 00:08:22.258
  • Revolution" film.
  • 00:08:22.258 --> 00:08:23.593
  • How many of you wanna see a scene from the film, okay?
  • 00:08:23.593 --> 00:08:25.561
  • [congregation cheering]
  • 00:08:25.561 --> 00:08:27.663
  • This is a great scene.
  • 00:08:27.663 --> 00:08:29.565
  • It's a great scene based on a true story.
  • 00:08:29.565 --> 00:08:32.501
  • The whole youth culture is just unraveling, and chuck's an older
  • 00:08:32.501 --> 00:08:36.606
  • Guy and he doesn't know what's going on.
  • 00:08:36.606 --> 00:08:39.342
  • He doesn't see any hope for this generation, but his wife kay has
  • 00:08:39.342 --> 00:08:43.179
  • A heart for these young kids, and his daughter jan tells her
  • 00:08:43.179 --> 00:08:48.751
  • Dad, "you should be more open to reaching them.
  • 00:08:48.751 --> 00:08:51.487
  • You've never even met a hippie," and chuck says, "well, if god
  • 00:08:51.487 --> 00:08:55.558
  • Brings me a hippie, i'll talk to him."
  • 00:08:55.558 --> 00:08:57.793
  • So jan goes out and finds this hippie evangelist named lonnie
  • 00:08:57.793 --> 00:09:02.164
  • Frisbee, and she brought him to her dad, and this is what
  • 00:09:02.164 --> 00:09:06.268
  • Happened next.
  • 00:09:06.268 --> 00:09:08.504
  • Look at the screen.
  • 00:09:08.504 --> 00:09:09.839
  • Chuck smith: tell me about yourself, lonnie.
  • 00:09:09.839 --> 00:09:11.240
  • And your umm...people.
  • 00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:16.545
  • Lonnie frisbee: my people.
  • 00:09:16.545 --> 00:09:19.882
  • I like the sound of that.
  • 00:09:19.882 --> 00:09:23.252
  • You know, it reminds me of the words of jesus.
  • 00:09:23.252 --> 00:09:28.024
  • "to what, then, can i compare the people of this generation?
  • 00:09:28.024 --> 00:09:32.361
  • What are they like?"
  • 00:09:32.361 --> 00:09:35.131
  • I was up in san francisco for a long time.
  • 00:09:35.131 --> 00:09:38.601
  • Living in haight-ashbury.
  • 00:09:38.601 --> 00:09:39.969
  • On the streets. all over.
  • 00:09:39.969 --> 00:09:42.171
  • Man, we did everything and everyone.
  • 00:09:42.171 --> 00:09:47.243
  • But that was the point.
  • 00:09:47.243 --> 00:09:49.311
  • You see, the drugs, it's a quest.
  • 00:09:49.311 --> 00:09:57.219
  • Chuck: for what?
  • 00:09:57.219 --> 00:09:59.522
  • Lonnie: for god.
  • 00:09:59.522 --> 00:10:02.491
  • How can you not see that?
  • 00:10:02.491 --> 00:10:05.628
  • There is an entire generation right now searching for god.
  • 00:10:05.628 --> 00:10:12.201
  • Man, we thought acid was gonna save the world.
  • 00:10:12.201 --> 00:10:15.905
  • Thank you.
  • 00:10:15.905 --> 00:10:17.239
  • Chuck: thanks, mom. lonnie: but that was a lie.
  • 00:10:17.239 --> 00:10:20.643
  • As much of a lie as what we were rebelling against.
  • 00:10:20.643 --> 00:10:24.513
  • Chuck: and what brought you to that realization?
  • 00:10:24.513 --> 00:10:28.551
  • Lonnie: i kept searching and searching.
  • 00:10:28.551 --> 00:10:31.587
  • I just finally got to the end of it and there was still a void.
  • 00:10:31.587 --> 00:10:36.826
  • And my people?
  • 00:10:36.826 --> 00:10:39.462
  • Well, they're a desperate bunch.
  • 00:10:39.462 --> 00:10:44.633
  • And desperation, man, there's power in that word.
  • 00:10:44.633 --> 00:10:52.975
  • What would it take for you, chuck smith, to be desperate?
  • 00:10:52.975 --> 00:11:02.618
  • Janette tells me you're a pastor.
  • 00:11:02.618 --> 00:11:06.155
  • Chuck: yes, currently.
  • 00:11:06.155 --> 00:11:11.093
  • Lonnie: i know we must seem pretty strange, but if you look
  • 00:11:11.093 --> 00:11:16.699
  • A little deeper, if you look with love, you'll see a bunch of
  • 00:11:16.699 --> 00:11:22.037
  • Kids that are searching for all the right things, just in all
  • 00:11:22.037 --> 00:11:26.709
  • The wrong places.
  • 00:11:26.709 --> 00:11:31.947
  • So to answer your question, how do i describe my people?
  • 00:11:31.947 --> 00:11:40.222
  • They're sheep without a shepherd, chasing hard
  • 00:11:40.222 --> 00:11:44.827
  • After lies.
  • 00:11:44.827 --> 00:11:46.896
  • And the trouble is, your people reject them.
  • 00:11:46.896 --> 00:11:52.701
  • So i ask you, pastor, how can they believe in the one of whom
  • 00:11:52.701 --> 00:11:58.440
  • They have not heard?
  • 00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:01.877
  • We can only walk through doors open to us.
  • 00:12:01.877 --> 00:12:06.248
  • And your church, well, that's a door that's shut.
  • 00:12:06.248 --> 00:12:13.656
  • ♪♪♪
  • 00:12:13.656 --> 00:12:25.034
  • Greg: powerful.
  • 00:12:25.801 --> 00:12:28.771
  • Pastor chuck smith had the original vision to do these
  • 00:12:28.771 --> 00:12:31.540
  • Harvest crusades over 30 years ago.
  • 00:12:31.540 --> 00:12:34.276
  • He stood on this platform for many years.
  • 00:12:34.276 --> 00:12:36.378
  • Many of you remember him, but he had this vision, and to his
  • 00:12:36.378 --> 00:12:39.949
  • Credit, chuck opened the door, he let the hippies in, and when
  • 00:12:39.949 --> 00:12:44.954
  • Chuck met lonnie, it was like nitro met glycerin.
  • 00:12:44.954 --> 00:12:49.625
  • And the result was explosive and the spiritual awakening broke
  • 00:12:49.625 --> 00:12:54.463
  • Out, and we pray that god will do it again.
  • 00:12:54.463 --> 00:12:56.732
  • So we want to see a spiritual revival.
  • 00:12:56.732 --> 00:12:59.501
  • What should we do?
  • 00:12:59.501 --> 00:13:00.870
  • 2 chronicles 7:14 actually lays out what we ought to do if we
  • 00:13:00.870 --> 00:13:05.941
  • Wanna see this spiritual awakening.
  • 00:13:05.941 --> 00:13:08.477
  • God says, "if my people, which are called by my name, will
  • 00:13:08.477 --> 00:13:12.081
  • Humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their
  • 00:13:12.081 --> 00:13:16.518
  • Wicked ways, then i will hear from heaven and forgive their
  • 00:13:16.518 --> 00:13:20.322
  • Sin and heal their land."
  • 00:13:20.322 --> 00:13:23.492
  • What a powerful verse that is.
  • 00:13:23.492 --> 00:13:26.161
  • We want god to heal our land.
  • 00:13:26.161 --> 00:13:29.131
  • America is filled with division.
  • 00:13:29.131 --> 00:13:31.834
  • America is filled with conflict.
  • 00:13:31.834 --> 00:13:34.370
  • Some even think we could have another civil war.
  • 00:13:34.370 --> 00:13:37.039
  • God help us, lord, heal our land.
  • 00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:39.775
  • But notice where god points his finger.
  • 00:13:39.775 --> 00:13:42.578
  • He doesn't point his finger at the white house.
  • 00:13:42.578 --> 00:13:45.247
  • He points his finger at his house, at your house, at
  • 00:13:45.247 --> 00:13:49.919
  • My house.
  • 00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:51.253
  • He says, "if my people, which are called by my name, will
  • 00:13:51.253 --> 00:13:53.889
  • Humble themselves and pray."
  • 00:13:53.889 --> 00:13:55.357
  • He's talking to us who are believers.
  • 00:13:55.357 --> 00:13:57.793
  • He's saying, you guys, it starts with you.
  • 00:13:57.793 --> 00:14:01.030
  • "humble yourself from praying, seek my face, and turn from your
  • 00:14:01.030 --> 00:14:04.466
  • Wicked ways."
  • 00:14:04.466 --> 00:14:06.535
  • Do you have any wicked ways you need to turn from right now?
  • 00:14:06.535 --> 00:14:10.506
  • You say you're a christian, but yet you're living in sin.
  • 00:14:10.506 --> 00:14:14.076
  • You're doing things the bible says you should not do.
  • 00:14:14.076 --> 00:14:17.146
  • "hey, i'm a christian, but i'm partying and getting drunk on
  • 00:14:17.146 --> 00:14:19.882
  • The weekends.
  • 00:14:19.882 --> 00:14:21.216
  • Oh, i'm a christian, but i'm doing drugs.
  • 00:14:21.216 --> 00:14:23.552
  • I'm a christian but i'm sleeping with my boyfriend or my
  • 00:14:23.552 --> 00:14:26.121
  • Girlfriend or being unfaithful with my spouse.
  • 00:14:26.121 --> 00:14:28.624
  • Oh, i'm a christian, but i'm lying and ripping people off."
  • 00:14:28.624 --> 00:14:31.393
  • Hey, again, check up on yourself.
  • 00:14:31.393 --> 00:14:33.462
  • Are you really a christian or are you just pretending to be
  • 00:14:33.462 --> 00:14:36.532
  • When you aren't one at all?
  • 00:14:36.532 --> 00:14:38.000
  • It's time to repent, to repent of your sin.
  • 00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:46.542
  • God says, i want to send an awakening, and we point our
  • 00:14:46.542 --> 00:14:50.012
  • Finger at hollywood, we point our finger at washington, we
  • 00:14:50.012 --> 00:14:53.682
  • Point our finger at the culture.
  • 00:14:53.682 --> 00:14:55.417
  • God points his finger at us and says, "you guys, my people, turn
  • 00:14:55.417 --> 00:15:00.422
  • From your wicked ways and call out to me."
  • 00:15:00.422 --> 00:15:03.926
  • Pray with passion.
  • 00:15:03.926 --> 00:15:06.395
  • Pray aggressively.
  • 00:15:06.395 --> 00:15:08.197
  • Don't take no for an answer.
  • 00:15:08.197 --> 00:15:09.798
  • Lord, send a revival, but listen, revival, awakening,
  • 00:15:09.798 --> 00:15:13.435
  • Starts with you.
  • 00:15:13.435 --> 00:15:15.004
  • Revival or revolution, to use that word, just means to come
  • 00:15:15.004 --> 00:15:18.841
  • Back around again, returning to what we might call one's
  • 00:15:18.841 --> 00:15:23.879
  • First love.
  • 00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:25.280
  • Greg: you know, when jesus hung on the cross, three times he
  • 00:15:29.451 --> 00:15:33.122
  • Called out to the father, at the beginning, middle, and end of
  • 00:15:33.122 --> 00:15:37.393
  • The crucifixion.
  • 00:15:37.393 --> 00:15:38.761
  • His first words from calvary were, "father, forgive them, for
  • 00:15:38.761 --> 00:15:41.630
  • They know not what they do."
  • 00:15:41.630 --> 00:15:43.599
  • Then, as all the sin of the world was placed upon him, he
  • 00:15:43.599 --> 00:15:46.402
  • Said, "my god, my god, why have you forsaken me?"
  • 00:15:46.402 --> 00:15:50.205
  • And finally he said to the father, "into your hands i
  • 00:15:50.205 --> 00:15:53.342
  • Commit my spirit."
  • 00:15:53.342 --> 00:15:55.177
  • This is a reminder to us that we should call on god at the
  • 00:15:55.177 --> 00:15:58.614
  • Beginning, middle, and end of our life.
  • 00:15:58.614 --> 00:16:01.383
  • You know, if you're young and you're watching me right now,
  • 00:16:01.383 --> 00:16:04.386
  • Remember, the best thing you can do is commit your life to jesus.
  • 00:16:04.386 --> 00:16:07.389
  • I became a christian at the age of 17.
  • 00:16:07.389 --> 00:16:11.093
  • That was about 51 years ago, and i've never regretted
  • 00:16:11.093 --> 00:16:15.664
  • That decision.
  • 00:16:15.664 --> 00:16:16.999
  • The bible says: "remember the creator in the days of
  • 00:16:16.999 --> 00:16:19.635
  • Your youth."
  • 00:16:19.635 --> 00:16:20.969
  • But then in middle age, sometimes we're preoccupied,
  • 00:16:20.969 --> 00:16:23.639
  • We're getting our family going, we're pursuing our career, and
  • 00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:27.276
  • We forget about god.
  • 00:16:27.276 --> 00:16:28.610
  • But listen, god has not forgotten about you.
  • 00:16:28.610 --> 00:16:30.979
  • Keep god at the forefront of your life, and certainly at the
  • 00:16:30.979 --> 00:16:34.149
  • End, when we're at eternity's door, and we know we'll see him,
  • 00:16:34.149 --> 00:16:38.320
  • Call out to him.
  • 00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:39.822
  • Call out to the lord at the beginning and the middle and the
  • 00:16:39.822 --> 00:16:43.459
  • End of your life.
  • 00:16:43.459 --> 00:16:45.060
  • Greg: here's what jesus says in revelation chapter 2 to a church
  • 00:16:49.264 --> 00:16:53.302
  • That was doing just that, he says, "you've left your
  • 00:16:53.302 --> 00:16:56.638
  • First love.
  • 00:16:56.638 --> 00:16:58.040
  • Remember from where you have fallen, repent and do the
  • 00:16:58.040 --> 00:17:00.709
  • First works."
  • 00:17:00.709 --> 00:17:02.077
  • Listen, if you want to get right with god, as one of his
  • 00:17:02.077 --> 00:17:04.646
  • Followers, there's three things you need to do.
  • 00:17:04.646 --> 00:17:07.282
  • I call them the three r's of getting right with god.
  • 00:17:07.282 --> 00:17:10.085
  • Number one, remember.
  • 00:17:10.085 --> 00:17:12.721
  • Mark that point in time where maybe your faith was stronger.
  • 00:17:12.721 --> 00:17:16.191
  • Mark that point in time when you were walking
  • 00:17:16.191 --> 00:17:19.094
  • Closely with the lord.
  • 00:17:19.094 --> 00:17:20.429
  • Some of you, looking at these scenes from this film, are
  • 00:17:20.429 --> 00:17:22.731
  • Having a flashback.
  • 00:17:22.731 --> 00:17:25.334
  • You say, "i was one of those jesus people.
  • 00:17:25.334 --> 00:17:28.537
  • I remember."
  • 00:17:28.537 --> 00:17:30.839
  • "clear," buh-boom, "i'm still here."
  • 00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:34.209
  • Okay, that's nice.
  • 00:17:34.209 --> 00:17:35.577
  • I'm glad you were around back then, but how are you doing with
  • 00:17:35.577 --> 00:17:37.346
  • The lord now?
  • 00:17:37.346 --> 00:17:39.181
  • Remember.
  • 00:17:39.181 --> 00:17:40.849
  • Number two, if it's not the way it used to be, repent.
  • 00:17:40.849 --> 00:17:43.986
  • All the word "repent" means is to change your direction.
  • 00:17:43.986 --> 00:17:47.022
  • It's a military term.
  • 00:17:47.022 --> 00:17:48.390
  • It means to do an about-face.
  • 00:17:48.390 --> 00:17:49.758
  • You just turn around like that, right?
  • 00:17:49.758 --> 00:17:52.261
  • So you turn back, remember, repent, and then repeat.
  • 00:17:52.261 --> 00:17:56.932
  • Repeat, do those first things again.
  • 00:17:56.932 --> 00:17:59.968
  • As the apostle paul says, "get back, get back, get back to
  • 00:17:59.968 --> 00:18:04.139
  • Where you once belonged."
  • 00:18:04.139 --> 00:18:05.908
  • Oh, that's paul mccartney, not the apostle paul, but
  • 00:18:05.908 --> 00:18:08.076
  • I knew it was a paul.
  • 00:18:08.076 --> 00:18:10.646
  • That was a joke, not a very funny one, apparently.
  • 00:18:10.646 --> 00:18:13.982
  • All the old people went, "pretty good."
  • 00:18:13.982 --> 00:18:15.617
  • Kids are like, "who?"
  • 00:18:15.617 --> 00:18:17.986
  • Kids, there was once a band called the beatles, okay?
  • 00:18:17.986 --> 00:18:20.389
  • I'm just saying.
  • 00:18:20.389 --> 00:18:23.692
  • No, but we need to let it start in our heart.
  • 00:18:23.692 --> 00:18:26.128
  • It's so easy to say, "well, the church should do this and other
  • 00:18:26.128 --> 00:18:29.531
  • Christians should do that."
  • 00:18:29.531 --> 00:18:30.866
  • Don't worry about the church.
  • 00:18:30.866 --> 00:18:32.234
  • Don't worry about other christians.
  • 00:18:32.234 --> 00:18:33.802
  • Start with you.
  • 00:18:33.802 --> 00:18:35.170
  • Are you living a passionate relationship with christ
  • 00:18:35.170 --> 00:18:39.908
  • Right now?
  • 00:18:39.908 --> 00:18:41.276
  • If not, return to the lord again.
  • 00:18:41.276 --> 00:18:45.247
  • Recommit yourself to the lord again.
  • 00:18:45.247 --> 00:18:48.750
  • So let me answer the question that is on the minds of
  • 00:18:49.952 --> 00:18:53.889
  • Some, which is simply this, "is armageddon near?"
  • 00:18:53.889 --> 00:18:59.528
  • Short answer, no, and let me explain why.
  • 00:18:59.528 --> 00:19:03.832
  • The word armageddon is a word from the bible,
  • 00:19:03.832 --> 00:19:06.969
  • And it is a word that describes a specific battle
  • 00:19:06.969 --> 00:19:10.472
  • That's gonna happen in a time that's coming upon the earth
  • 00:19:10.472 --> 00:19:13.875
  • Called the great tribulation period
  • 00:19:13.875 --> 00:19:17.012
  • That will be inaugurated by the emergence of a charismatic
  • 00:19:17.012 --> 00:19:21.250
  • World leader identified as the antichrist.
  • 00:19:21.250 --> 00:19:25.621
  • And then it culminates with the battle of armageddon
  • 00:19:25.621 --> 00:19:29.858
  • And the return of jesus christ.
  • 00:19:29.858 --> 00:19:33.228
  • Okay, so, armageddon is not near, but yet
  • 00:19:33.228 --> 00:19:37.399
  • We should not disregard these threats,
  • 00:19:37.399 --> 00:19:40.469
  • Because here's the thing, if armageddon is near
  • 00:19:40.469 --> 00:19:45.374
  • In a distant sense, then the return of jesus christ
  • 00:19:45.374 --> 00:19:49.878
  • For his people is even closer, okay?
  • 00:19:49.878 --> 00:19:53.915
  • So, let me be the person that shows you the way to heaven
  • 00:19:53.915 --> 00:19:59.254
  • So you can know that when death comes--
  • 00:19:59.254 --> 00:20:01.256
  • And listen, death will come.
  • 00:20:01.256 --> 00:20:03.191
  • The statistics on death are very impressive.
  • 00:20:03.191 --> 00:20:05.827
  • One out of every one persons will die, okay?
  • 00:20:05.827 --> 00:20:08.597
  • So, there's no escaping death.
  • 00:20:08.597 --> 00:20:12.134
  • But the question is where do we go after we die?
  • 00:20:12.134 --> 00:20:15.937
  • We decide in this life where we will spend the afterlife.
  • 00:20:15.937 --> 00:20:20.942
  • Where are you going to go when you die?
  • 00:20:20.942 --> 00:20:24.646
  • Many of us would say, "well, heaven."
  • 00:20:24.646 --> 00:20:26.381
  • Are you sure of that?
  • 00:20:26.381 --> 00:20:28.216
  • I mean, are you absolutely certain you will go to heaven
  • 00:20:28.216 --> 00:20:31.186
  • When you die?
  • 00:20:31.186 --> 00:20:32.521
  • You say, "well, i'm hoping that, you know, if i live a good life,
  • 00:20:32.521 --> 00:20:34.523
  • The good lord will let me in."
  • 00:20:34.523 --> 00:20:36.291
  • But hold on, you don't wanna risk this.
  • 00:20:36.291 --> 00:20:38.894
  • You wanna know for sure about this.
  • 00:20:38.894 --> 00:20:41.463
  • You wanna be ready.
  • 00:20:41.463 --> 00:20:43.031
  • You need to know the way.
  • 00:20:43.031 --> 00:20:44.700
  • Jesus said, "i am the way, the truth and the life and no man
  • 00:20:44.700 --> 00:20:47.969
  • Comes to the father but by me."
  • 00:20:47.969 --> 00:20:50.739
  • There's one way to heaven and it's through jesus christ.
  • 00:20:50.739 --> 00:20:55.210
  • God has dropped one lifeline.
  • 00:20:55.210 --> 00:21:00.148
  • God has dropped one lifeline to heaven.
  • 00:21:00.148 --> 00:21:02.818
  • You don't just make up the rules as you go.
  • 00:21:02.818 --> 00:21:05.320
  • You wouldn't even use the word "heaven" if you had not heard it
  • 00:21:05.320 --> 00:21:08.890
  • From the bible.
  • 00:21:08.890 --> 00:21:10.225
  • It's a bible word.
  • 00:21:10.225 --> 00:21:11.593
  • It's a real place for real people to do real things.
  • 00:21:11.593 --> 00:21:15.864
  • How do you get to heaven?
  • 00:21:15.864 --> 00:21:17.232
  • Living a good life?
  • 00:21:17.232 --> 00:21:18.567
  • No, that's not gonna work.
  • 00:21:18.567 --> 00:21:19.968
  • Heard about a man that died and went to the pearly gates and
  • 00:21:19.968 --> 00:21:22.771
  • Peter met him, and then peter said, "okay, buddy, this is how
  • 00:21:22.771 --> 00:21:26.174
  • You get into heaven.
  • 00:21:26.174 --> 00:21:27.509
  • It takes 1000 points."
  • 00:21:27.509 --> 00:21:29.644
  • This is a true story.
  • 00:21:29.644 --> 00:21:32.347
  • Not really.
  • 00:21:32.347 --> 00:21:33.715
  • Okay, "takes 1000 points to get in.
  • 00:21:33.715 --> 00:21:36.051
  • So tell me all the good things you've done in your life, and
  • 00:21:36.051 --> 00:21:38.954
  • I'll give you points for everything good you've done."
  • 00:21:38.954 --> 00:21:42.157
  • The man said, "oh, okay, well, listen, i've been married to the
  • 00:21:42.157 --> 00:21:45.460
  • Same woman for 50 years.
  • 00:21:45.460 --> 00:21:47.996
  • I've never cheated on her.
  • 00:21:47.996 --> 00:21:49.631
  • I've never even had an impure thought about another woman."
  • 00:21:49.631 --> 00:21:52.768
  • Peter said, "good, that's worth three points."
  • 00:21:52.768 --> 00:21:55.570
  • "wait, three points?
  • 00:21:55.570 --> 00:21:57.572
  • How many do i need to get into heaven?"
  • 00:21:57.572 --> 00:21:59.107
  • Peter says, "you need 1000."
  • 00:21:59.107 --> 00:22:00.776
  • "oh, wow, okay, wait."
  • 00:22:00.776 --> 00:22:02.644
  • This man says, "i went to church every sunday and i supported the
  • 00:22:02.644 --> 00:22:06.515
  • Church with my tithes."
  • 00:22:06.515 --> 00:22:07.849
  • Peter said, "that's good. that's worth one point."
  • 00:22:07.849 --> 00:22:09.885
  • "one point?"
  • 00:22:09.885 --> 00:22:11.386
  • The guy says, "i set up a soup kitchen and opened up a shelter
  • 00:22:11.386 --> 00:22:15.190
  • For homeless people."
  • 00:22:15.190 --> 00:22:16.525
  • "that's good," peter said.
  • 00:22:16.525 --> 00:22:17.926
  • "that's worth two points."
  • 00:22:17.926 --> 00:22:19.294
  • "two points?
  • 00:22:19.294 --> 00:22:20.629
  • At this rate, the only way i'm going to get into heaven is by
  • 00:22:20.629 --> 00:22:22.564
  • The grace of god."
  • 00:22:22.564 --> 00:22:23.932
  • Peter said, "that's 1000 points.
  • 00:22:23.932 --> 00:22:25.367
  • Come on in," see?
  • 00:22:25.367 --> 00:22:32.674
  • You think you're living a good life.
  • 00:22:32.674 --> 00:22:34.476
  • I hate to break this to you, it's not good enough because the
  • 00:22:34.476 --> 00:22:38.180
  • Bible says we all fall short of the glory of god.
  • 00:22:38.180 --> 00:22:41.116
  • Listen to this: heaven is not for good people.
  • 00:22:41.116 --> 00:22:44.186
  • Heaven is for forgiven people.
  • 00:22:44.186 --> 00:22:47.522
  • Now let me say something that might surprise you.
  • 00:22:47.522 --> 00:22:49.958
  • Listen to this.
  • 00:22:49.958 --> 00:22:51.326
  • There's gonna be some bad people in heaven and there's gonna be
  • 00:22:51.326 --> 00:22:56.364
  • Some, quote, "good people" in hell.
  • 00:22:56.364 --> 00:23:00.235
  • "i don't get that at all."
  • 00:23:00.235 --> 00:23:01.603
  • Okay, let me explain.
  • 00:23:01.603 --> 00:23:03.371
  • There'll be some bad people in heaven.
  • 00:23:03.371 --> 00:23:06.808
  • How do i get to heaven?
  • 00:23:06.808 --> 00:23:08.143
  • By turning from my sin and putting my faith in christ, who
  • 00:23:08.143 --> 00:23:11.513
  • Died for me on the cross.
  • 00:23:11.513 --> 00:23:13.281
  • Think about that man who was crucified next to jesus.
  • 00:23:13.281 --> 00:23:17.552
  • We call him the thief on the cross, but he was probably
  • 00:23:17.552 --> 00:23:19.955
  • Guiltier--or guilty of a far worse crime than stealing,
  • 00:23:19.955 --> 00:23:25.093
  • Probably was a murderer, an insurrectionist.
  • 00:23:25.093 --> 00:23:27.929
  • But yet he turned to jesus and said, "lord, remember me when
  • 00:23:27.929 --> 00:23:31.132
  • You come into your kingdom," and jesus said, "truly, truly, i
  • 00:23:31.132 --> 00:23:35.103
  • Say to you today you will be with me in paradise."
  • 00:23:35.103 --> 00:23:39.074
  • Wow, talk about being at the right place at the right time.
  • 00:23:39.074 --> 00:23:44.479
  • That man was an evil man.
  • 00:23:44.479 --> 00:23:45.814
  • He was a sinful man, but he said, "lord, remember me," and
  • 00:23:45.814 --> 00:23:48.984
  • Jesus forgave him.
  • 00:23:48.984 --> 00:23:50.352
  • So in a sense, a bad person is in heaven.
  • 00:23:50.352 --> 00:23:53.622
  • But then there'll be some good people in hell and by that i
  • 00:23:53.622 --> 00:23:56.224
  • Mean people that trusted in their religion, people that
  • 00:23:56.224 --> 00:23:59.828
  • Trusted in their good works.
  • 00:23:59.828 --> 00:24:01.530
  • The bible says it's not by works that god saves us, but it's by
  • 00:24:01.530 --> 00:24:06.368
  • His grace.
  • 00:24:06.368 --> 00:24:08.103
  • That's how we get to heaven.
  • 00:24:08.103 --> 00:24:09.938
  • So how can you know for certain you'll go to heaven when
  • 00:24:09.938 --> 00:24:12.807
  • You die?
  • 00:24:12.807 --> 00:24:14.142
  • If you haven't heard anything else i've said tonight, listen
  • 00:24:14.142 --> 00:24:16.678
  • To me now because i'm almost done.
  • 00:24:16.678 --> 00:24:18.680
  • Number one, you must realize you're a sinner.
  • 00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:22.017
  • We've all sinned.
  • 00:24:22.017 --> 00:24:23.552
  • We've all fallen short of god's glory.
  • 00:24:23.552 --> 00:24:26.154
  • See, god has given us a standard of perfection.
  • 00:24:26.154 --> 00:24:28.924
  • None of us measures up.
  • 00:24:28.924 --> 00:24:30.559
  • Now, granted, some of us do better than others, but we still
  • 00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:34.162
  • Fall short.
  • 00:24:34.162 --> 00:24:35.564
  • So understand you're a sinner, and that's why you need
  • 00:24:35.564 --> 00:24:37.832
  • A savior, and that's why jesus came.
  • 00:24:37.832 --> 00:24:41.102
  • Jesus did not just come to this earth to give amazing teachings,
  • 00:24:41.102 --> 00:24:44.406
  • Though they are the most amazing ever given.
  • 00:24:44.406 --> 00:24:47.442
  • He didn't just come to this planet to work miracles.
  • 00:24:47.442 --> 00:24:50.812
  • He came to this planet with the express purpose of going to the
  • 00:24:50.812 --> 00:24:54.482
  • Cross and dying for the sin of the world, and that is why jesus
  • 00:24:54.482 --> 00:24:58.587
  • Christ and christ alone is qualified to bridge the gap
  • 00:24:58.587 --> 00:25:03.491
  • Between a holy god and sinful humanity.
  • 00:25:03.491 --> 00:25:07.295
  • With one hand he took hold of that holy god, with the other
  • 00:25:07.295 --> 00:25:10.665
  • Hand he took hold of sinful humanity, and nails were driven
  • 00:25:10.665 --> 00:25:14.469
  • Through those hands and through those feet, and he died.
  • 00:25:14.469 --> 00:25:17.439
  • The bible says christ died for your sins, why?
  • 00:25:17.439 --> 00:25:21.843
  • Because he loves you.
  • 00:25:21.843 --> 00:25:24.112
  • "for god so loved the world he gave his only begotten son, and
  • 00:25:24.112 --> 00:25:28.483
  • Whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have
  • 00:25:28.483 --> 00:25:31.486
  • Everlasting life."
  • 00:25:31.486 --> 00:25:34.289
  • I love the way the apostle paul personalized it when he said,
  • 00:25:34.289 --> 00:25:37.759
  • "he loved me and he gave himself for me."
  • 00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:41.796
  • Recognize christ died on that cross for your sin.
  • 00:25:41.796 --> 00:25:44.332
  • Then you must turn from that sin and repent of the sin.
  • 00:25:44.332 --> 00:25:48.403
  • The bible says god has commanded people everywhere to repent.
  • 00:25:48.403 --> 00:25:52.707
  • So you say, "lord, i don't wanna live that way anymore.
  • 00:25:52.707 --> 00:25:55.377
  • I wanna believe in jesus, i want a new life.
  • 00:25:55.377 --> 00:25:57.679
  • I want the hope of heaven.
  • 00:25:57.679 --> 00:25:59.314
  • I want my guilt removed," and then you must receive christ
  • 00:25:59.314 --> 00:26:03.518
  • Into your life.
  • 00:26:03.518 --> 00:26:04.886
  • Listen, jesus christ, who died on the cross, rose again from
  • 00:26:04.886 --> 00:26:08.456
  • The dead three days later, and he's with us right now at angel
  • 00:26:08.456 --> 00:26:12.560
  • Stadium, or wherever you are watching or listening, and he's
  • 00:26:12.560 --> 00:26:16.031
  • Standing at the door of your life, and he's knocking, and he
  • 00:26:16.031 --> 00:26:19.567
  • Is saying if you'll hear his voice and open the door, he'll
  • 00:26:19.567 --> 00:26:22.604
  • Come in.
  • 00:26:22.604 --> 00:26:25.407
  • Greg: hi, i'm greg laurie. i've got some good news for you.
  • 00:26:29.544 --> 00:26:32.247
  • God loves you, and god has a plan for your life.
  • 00:26:32.247 --> 00:26:36.084
  • Here's the problem: we're separated from god by our sin
  • 00:26:36.084 --> 00:26:39.554
  • Because we've all broken his commandments.
  • 00:26:39.554 --> 00:26:42.490
  • But the good news is that 2,000 years ago, god sent
  • 00:26:42.490 --> 00:26:45.960
  • His son, jesus christ, to die on the cross for your sin,
  • 00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:50.365
  • And then to rise again from the dead.
  • 00:26:50.365 --> 00:26:52.767
  • The same jesus who died and rose is alive and ready
  • 00:26:52.767 --> 00:26:56.071
  • To come into your life right now.
  • 00:26:56.071 --> 00:26:58.606
  • Would you like your sin forgiven?
  • 00:26:58.606 --> 00:27:00.675
  • Would you like to know that when you die you will go to heaven?
  • 00:27:00.675 --> 00:27:03.545
  • If so, pray this simple prayer with me right now.
  • 00:27:03.545 --> 00:27:06.848
  • Just say, "lord jesus, i know i'm a sinner, but i believe
  • 00:27:06.848 --> 00:27:10.552
  • You're the savior, who died on the cross for my sin.
  • 00:27:10.552 --> 00:27:14.022
  • I turn from my sin now, and i choose to follow you
  • 00:27:14.022 --> 00:27:17.525
  • From this moment forward."
  • 00:27:17.525 --> 00:27:19.894
  • Did you just pray that prayer with me?
  • 00:27:19.894 --> 00:27:21.730
  • If you did, god in heaven has heard you.
  • 00:27:21.730 --> 00:27:25.100
  • Congratulations, and welcome to the family of god.
  • 00:27:25.100 --> 00:27:25.100
