  • 00:38:14.712 --> 00:38:17.982
  • And the biopsy came back as positive for melanoma.
  • 00:38:17.982 --> 00:38:20.718
  • I'm just gonna tell it all there, okay.
  • 00:38:20.718 --> 00:38:23.254
  • And then, and then we had about,
  • 00:38:23.888 --> 00:38:26.624
  • I guess a week or 10 days where we were waiting.
  • 00:38:26.624 --> 00:38:29.627
  • - felt like two years, but yeah.
  • 00:38:29.627 --> 00:38:30.895
  • - yeah, it did.
  • 00:38:30.895 --> 00:38:32.930
  • And i didn't even, i'm a crier, right?
  • 00:38:33.765 --> 00:38:35.967
  • But i didn't cry that whole time, really.
  • 00:38:35.967 --> 00:38:37.735
  • I just kind of, i was like, i'm strong.
  • 00:38:37.735 --> 00:38:40.638
  • You know you're dealing with it.
  • 00:38:40.638 --> 00:38:42.607
  • And the girls, and i just tried to stay strong.
  • 00:38:42.607 --> 00:38:46.177
  • And then you had a women's conference
  • 00:38:46.978 --> 00:38:48.746
  • That you were singing at and i love-
  • 00:38:48.746 --> 00:38:51.516
  • - the night before.
  • 00:38:51.516 --> 00:38:52.617
  • The night before the surgery, yeah.
  • 00:38:52.617 --> 00:38:54.051
  • - the night before the surgery, jana's singing at the-
  • 00:38:54.051 --> 00:38:55.353
  • And on the way there, and i'm in my truck,
  • 00:38:55.353 --> 00:38:56.854
  • I'm telling i'm like, honey.
  • 00:38:56.854 --> 00:38:58.322
  • 'cause she doesn't like talking, okay?
  • 00:38:58.322 --> 00:39:00.892
  • She does not like talking in front of people.
  • 00:39:00.892 --> 00:39:02.627
  • She likes to use that beautiful god given a voice to sing.
  • 00:39:02.627 --> 00:39:05.797
  • But i told her, if you would just share a little bit
  • 00:39:05.797 --> 00:39:08.299
  • What you've been going through,
  • 00:39:08.299 --> 00:39:10.034
  • I think it may bless somebody.
  • 00:39:10.034 --> 00:39:11.803
  • And what did you say?
  • 00:39:11.803 --> 00:39:12.837
  • You said i felt like-
  • 00:39:12.837 --> 00:39:14.772
  • - oh, i felt like i was gonna get sick.
  • 00:39:14.772 --> 00:39:16.607
  • - yeah on the way to this. - on the way to the church.
  • 00:39:16.607 --> 00:39:18.409
  • - yeah.
  • 00:39:18.409 --> 00:39:19.544
  • - might have to pull the car over.
  • 00:39:19.544 --> 00:39:20.945
  • But i felt that nudging and i didn't wanna listen,
  • 00:39:20.945 --> 00:39:23.181
  • But i felt it again.
  • 00:39:23.181 --> 00:39:25.149
  • And god has been teaching me.
  • 00:39:25.149 --> 00:39:27.485
  • I kept saying, what if, lord,
  • 00:39:28.119 --> 00:39:29.320
  • What if this, what if that?
  • 00:39:29.320 --> 00:39:31.322
  • And he revealed to me, even if, not just what if,
  • 00:39:32.323 --> 00:39:35.793
  • But not just even if, what if?
  • 00:39:35.793 --> 00:39:40.331
  • I'm still the same god?
  • 00:39:40.331 --> 00:39:42.099
  • You know, there's a name in the bible it's el roi,
  • 00:39:43.100 --> 00:39:45.903
  • And it means the god who sees you.
  • 00:39:45.903 --> 00:39:49.140
  • And it's one thing to know that god hears our prayers,
  • 00:39:50.241 --> 00:39:53.277
  • But to know that the creator of the entire universe,
  • 00:39:53.277 --> 00:39:55.847
  • He sees you, he sees me.
  • 00:39:55.847 --> 00:39:59.417
  • He saw me in my puddle of tears,
  • 00:40:00.051 --> 00:40:01.719
  • Many, many nights of not knowing.
  • 00:40:01.719 --> 00:40:04.288
  • But wherever you are today, he sees you, and he knows.
  • 00:40:04.288 --> 00:40:07.825
  • And no matter what happens, even if,
  • 00:40:07.825 --> 00:40:10.962
  • He is the god of even if.
  • 00:40:10.962 --> 00:40:12.330
  • He's el roi, the god who sees you,
  • 00:40:12.330 --> 00:40:13.998
  • He is emmanuel, the god that is with you.
  • 00:40:13.998 --> 00:40:17.335
  • No matter who you need him to be.
  • 00:40:17.335 --> 00:40:19.170
  • He is i am.
  • 00:40:19.170 --> 00:40:20.104
  • He is all of those things.
  • 00:40:20.104 --> 00:40:22.106
  • And i give him the glory today for a good follow up report,
  • 00:40:22.106 --> 00:40:27.211
  • A good follow up report.
  • 00:40:27.712 --> 00:40:28.880
  • And i keep saying, oh.
  • 00:40:28.880 --> 00:40:30.481
  • - for grace to trust you more.
  • 00:40:31.115 --> 00:40:33.384
  • - so we went to the...
  • 00:40:33.885 --> 00:40:36.153
  • Oh, no, we were in my truck again.
  • 00:40:36.153 --> 00:40:37.455
  • We're always in my truck, i guess.
  • 00:40:37.455 --> 00:40:39.323
  • And we were going to dinner, and the phone rang,
  • 00:40:39.323 --> 00:40:43.494
  • And she looked at me and she said,
  • 00:40:44.228 --> 00:40:45.296
  • "it's the doctor's office."
  • 00:40:45.296 --> 00:40:47.098
  • And i said, "take the call and put it on speaker, baby."
  • 00:40:47.098 --> 00:40:50.801
  • So she put it on speaker,
  • 00:40:50.801 --> 00:40:52.503
  • And, oh, that beautiful voice i heard on the other end.
  • 00:40:52.503 --> 00:40:56.007
  • And they said, "hey, we wanted to call you right away,"
  • 00:40:56.007 --> 00:40:57.909
  • And said, "we just got the pathology report back.
  • 00:40:57.909 --> 00:41:01.646
  • And we got all of it
  • 00:41:01.646 --> 00:41:03.147
  • And the margins around it are 100% clear."
  • 00:41:03.147 --> 00:41:06.050
  • (audience applauding)
  • 00:41:06.050 --> 00:41:10.988
  • And so we're grateful.
  • 00:41:11.489 --> 00:41:12.456
  • But then i want to tell you,
  • 00:41:12.456 --> 00:41:14.825
  • And i mentioned this in church last week, didn't i?
  • 00:41:14.825 --> 00:41:17.461
  • I said, but maybe some of you are, right now, going,
  • 00:41:17.461 --> 00:41:19.864
  • "hey, i didn't get a good report right now.
  • 00:41:19.864 --> 00:41:22.900
  • (mellow music)
  • 00:41:22.900 --> 00:41:25.236
  • I didn't get the call that everything's clear.
  • 00:41:25.236 --> 00:41:28.205
  • What do i do?"
  • 00:41:28.205 --> 00:41:29.473
  • And that's where trust comes in,
  • 00:41:29.473 --> 00:41:31.309
  • 'cause see, the good report call
  • 00:41:31.309 --> 00:41:33.477
  • Came on, i think, on a wednesday.
  • 00:41:33.477 --> 00:41:36.113
  • Tuesday, the day before, is when jana had to decide,
  • 00:41:36.113 --> 00:41:42.253
  • "i'm gonna trust you no matter what the report is."
  • 00:41:43.287 --> 00:41:46.357
  • And that's where you may be today.
  • 00:41:47.091 --> 00:41:49.160
  • (mellow music)
  • 00:41:49.160 --> 00:41:50.528
  • I don't have that answer i want yet.
  • 00:41:50.528 --> 00:41:52.897
  • I wanna encourage you to trust in him.
  • 00:41:52.897 --> 00:41:55.333
  • He hears us when we pray.
  • 00:41:55.333 --> 00:41:57.368
  • I always say he answers prayers in my mind in three ways.
  • 00:41:57.368 --> 00:42:00.605
  • The first way is, "yes, and i'm glad you asked.
  • 00:42:00.605 --> 00:42:03.741
  • Let me give you a clean report, fantastic."
  • 00:42:03.741 --> 00:42:06.243
  • The second way is, "yes, but not yet. hang on.
  • 00:42:06.243 --> 00:42:11.616
  • In my timing, i will give you that good report."
  • 00:42:12.617 --> 00:42:15.386
  • And then there's the hardest answer,
  • 00:42:15.386 --> 00:42:19.190
  • "no.
  • 00:42:19.390 --> 00:42:20.224
  • (mellow music)
  • 00:42:20.224 --> 00:42:23.427
  • You're not gonna get the answer you're hoping for,
  • 00:42:23.427 --> 00:42:26.964
  • But i promise i know what i'm doing."
  • 00:42:27.732 --> 00:42:32.236
  • And then we decide we're gonna trust him.
  • 00:42:32.236 --> 00:42:34.805
  • Like the three men going into the fiery furnace,
  • 00:42:34.805 --> 00:42:37.408
  • I know he can deliver me,
  • 00:42:37.408 --> 00:42:39.210
  • But even if he doesn't, i will serve him,
  • 00:42:39.210 --> 00:42:42.713
  • I will follow him, i give my life to him.
  • 00:42:42.713 --> 00:42:46.017
  • (audience applauding)
  • 00:42:46.017 --> 00:42:46.851
  • Hey.
  • 00:42:46.851 --> 00:42:47.685
  • (audience applauding)
  • 00:42:47.685 --> 00:42:49.720
  • It's a tv studio, but we're having church in here tonight.
  • 00:42:49.720 --> 00:42:53.424
  • (mellow music)
  • 00:42:53.424 --> 00:42:55.726
  • My grandfather was a dairy farmer.
  • 00:42:55.726 --> 00:42:57.695
  • Talk about trusting the lord.
  • 00:42:57.695 --> 00:42:59.530
  • How about relying on your whole family's income
  • 00:43:00.531 --> 00:43:03.834
  • To be on 45 cow dairy cattle
  • 00:43:03.834 --> 00:43:06.771
  • Up in the hills of south dakota?
  • 00:43:06.771 --> 00:43:08.706
  • He was a big old 6'2" dairy farmer,
  • 00:43:08.706 --> 00:43:12.810
  • And he had these huge hands,
  • 00:43:12.810 --> 00:43:14.712
  • And he'd be out there mowing hay, and bailing hay,
  • 00:43:15.746 --> 00:43:18.249
  • And then milking cows.
  • 00:43:18.249 --> 00:43:19.517
  • And then he would come in
  • 00:43:19.517 --> 00:43:20.918
  • And play the little strings on a violin, kim.
  • 00:43:20.918 --> 00:43:23.521
  • It was crazy.
  • 00:43:23.521 --> 00:43:24.989
  • But he sang this song my whole life.
  • 00:43:25.756 --> 00:43:28.459
  • He sang this song at every wedding i went to.
  • 00:43:28.459 --> 00:43:31.729
  • And if there was a funeral going on, they would say,
  • 00:43:32.797 --> 00:43:34.265
  • "mr. thorleif," that was his name,
  • 00:43:34.265 --> 00:43:36.267
  • "can you come sing with us?
  • 00:43:36.267 --> 00:43:38.135
  • Sing your song, the lord's prayer, for us?"
  • 00:43:38.135 --> 00:43:40.705
  • And he did, and i wanna sing it with my wife.
  • 00:43:40.705 --> 00:43:42.840
  • I wanna sing it with you guys today.
  • 00:43:42.840 --> 00:43:44.909
  • The lord's prayer, or the our father.

  • In john's gospel.

  • Jews and samaritans did not get along.
  • 00:47:28.132 --> 00:47:30.434
  • It's kind of a bit like our world today
  • 00:47:30.434 --> 00:47:33.203
  • Where if you're a different color of skin,
  • 00:47:34.071 --> 00:47:36.073

  • 00:47:51.922 --> 00:47:53.457

  • 00:47:53.457 --> 00:47:56.193

  • You know, i'm a woman and i'm a samaritan woman."
  • 00:48:28.092 --> 00:48:31.795
  • And jesus began to talk to her
  • 00:48:31.795 --> 00:48:33.764
  • About the only thing in life that matters.
  • 00:48:33.764 --> 00:48:36.300
  • (mellow music)
  • 00:48:36.300 --> 00:48:38.769
  • He actually said to her at one point,
  • 00:48:38.769 --> 00:48:40.437
  • "why don't you go and get your husband?"
  • 00:48:40.437 --> 00:48:42.940
  • And i would imagine that up until that point, she thought,
  • 00:48:44.108 --> 00:48:48.078
  • "this is actually really interesting and going well."
  • 00:48:48.078 --> 00:48:51.982
  • But then the other shoe dropped.
  • 00:48:52.616 --> 00:48:54.551
  • "go get your husband."
  • 00:48:55.052 --> 00:48:56.787
  • So she told him the truth, just not the whole truth.
  • 00:48:57.855 --> 00:49:03.160
  • She said, "i don't have a husband."
  • 00:49:03.894 --> 00:49:06.063
  • He said, "i know that.
  • 00:49:06.063 --> 00:49:07.498
  • I know you've been married five times
  • 00:49:08.298 --> 00:49:09.967
  • And the man you're living with and now is not your husband."
  • 00:49:09.967 --> 00:49:13.570
  • Why did jesus do that?
  • 00:49:13.570 --> 00:49:14.805
  • (mellow music)
  • 00:49:14.805 --> 00:49:16.673
  • You think he was trying to shame her?
  • 00:49:16.673 --> 00:49:18.642
  • No, i think he was trying to say to her,
  • 00:49:18.642 --> 00:49:21.912
  • "i know all of it and i love you."
  • 00:49:21.912 --> 00:49:25.182
  • She goes on to say,
  • 00:49:25.649 --> 00:49:27.017
  • "well, listen, you're a jew and you worship there.
  • 00:49:27.017 --> 00:49:28.552
  • We are samaritans, we worship here.
  • 00:49:28.552 --> 00:49:30.421
  • What's the right place?"
  • 00:49:30.421 --> 00:49:31.688
  • And jesus says this, which is life-changing.
  • 00:49:31.688 --> 00:49:35.592
  • He says, "the time is coming, in fact it's here right now,
  • 00:49:36.760 --> 00:49:39.363
  • That whoever worships will worship in spirit and in truth."
  • 00:49:40.497 --> 00:49:45.135
  • You know that little greek word, truth is aletheia.
  • 00:49:46.136 --> 00:49:49.640
  • Do you know what it means?
  • 00:49:49.640 --> 00:49:51.175
  • It means with nothing hidden.
  • 00:49:51.175 --> 00:49:55.012
  • That's how god defines worship.
  • 00:49:55.646 --> 00:49:58.315
  • In spirit, with nothing hidden.
  • 00:49:58.315 --> 00:50:00.851
  • (mellow music)
  • 00:50:00.851 --> 00:50:03.287
  • She gave her life to jesus that day
  • 00:50:03.287 --> 00:50:05.289
  • And she ran back to the village,
  • 00:50:05.289 --> 00:50:07.624
  • The very people she'd been avoiding,
  • 00:50:07.624 --> 00:50:10.227
  • To say, "come and meet this man.
  • 00:50:10.227 --> 00:50:12.329
  • He just told me everything i've ever done."
  • 00:50:13.197 --> 00:50:15.833
  • And jesus stayed a couple more days in the whole village.
  • 00:50:16.967 --> 00:50:19.336
  • She became, like, the first evangelist,
  • 00:50:19.336 --> 00:50:22.706
  • Least likely person.
  • 00:50:22.706 --> 00:50:24.475
  • Ever feel like the least likely person?
  • 00:50:25.309 --> 00:50:28.912
  • That's how i felt growing up.
  • 00:50:29.546 --> 00:50:31.815
  • My father died by suicide when i was five,
  • 00:50:31.815 --> 00:50:34.885
  • And it changed my whole life.
  • 00:50:35.519 --> 00:50:37.054
  • I went from being a tomboy to being a scared little girl
  • 00:50:37.054 --> 00:50:40.290
  • Who hid when anyone came to the house.
  • 00:50:40.290 --> 00:50:43.260
  • And at nighttime, when i would be sleeping in bed,
  • 00:50:44.261 --> 00:50:46.730
  • My mom would come in and lay her hands on me and say,
  • 00:50:46.730 --> 00:50:49.099
  • "lord, for this one, this least likely,
  • 00:50:49.099 --> 00:50:53.137
  • I ask that you would do what only you can do.
  • 00:50:54.071 --> 00:50:56.874
  • I'll never forget the night i met jesus.
  • 00:50:57.741 --> 00:50:59.910
  • (mellow music)
  • 00:50:59.910 --> 00:51:09.453
  • My father had a brain injury,
  • 00:51:10.087 --> 00:51:11.555
  • So he became violent before he died.
  • 00:51:11.555 --> 00:51:13.657
  • And he'd been a lovely man,
  • 00:51:13.657 --> 00:51:15.492
  • But suddenly, he took his anger out on me.
  • 00:51:16.393 --> 00:51:19.730
  • And i think i thought,
  • 00:51:20.230 --> 00:51:21.798
  • "if your own father, who once loved you, could hate you,
  • 00:51:21.798 --> 00:51:23.767
  • Then god could, too."
  • 00:51:23.767 --> 00:51:25.068
  • (mellow music)
  • 00:51:25.068 --> 00:51:26.904
  • But when i met jesus, like that woman at the well,
  • 00:51:26.904 --> 00:51:30.874
  • And he said, "i know everything, and i love you."
  • 00:51:30.874 --> 00:51:34.511
  • (mellow music)
  • 00:51:34.511 --> 00:51:36.513
  • If you're watching this and you're thinking, "you know what?
  • 00:51:36.513 --> 00:51:39.583
  • I don't think i belong in this club, this family,
  • 00:51:39.583 --> 00:51:42.719
  • Because i've done too much."
  • 00:51:42.719 --> 00:51:44.321
  • It doesn't matter.
  • 00:51:44.321 --> 00:51:45.989
  • That's why jesus came.
  • 00:51:45.989 --> 00:51:48.225
  • When jesus died on the cross,
  • 00:51:48.859 --> 00:51:50.961
  • He was taking your sin and my sin on himself.
  • 00:51:50.961 --> 00:51:54.598
  • He was saying, "father, punish me now
  • 00:51:54.598 --> 00:51:58.001
  • For everything that sheila walsh will ever do,
  • 00:51:58.001 --> 00:52:00.737
  • So that when you give your life to him, you can be free."
  • 00:52:01.872 --> 00:52:04.107
  • It says in romans,
  • 00:52:04.107 --> 00:52:05.609
  • "whoever calls on the name of the lord will be saved."
  • 00:52:05.609 --> 00:52:10.847
  • Not might be, will be.
  • 00:52:11.348 --> 00:52:13.550
  • Whoever calls on the name of the lord will be saved.
  • 00:52:13.550 --> 00:52:18.855
  • Whoever calls on the name of the lord
  • 00:52:19.623 --> 00:52:23.126
  • Will be saved.
  • 00:52:23.126 --> 00:52:24.728
  • Whoever calls on the name of the lord
  • 00:52:24.728 --> 00:52:28.432
  • Will be saved.
  • 00:52:28.799 --> 00:52:30.601
  • If that is you tonight, then join me in this simple prayer.
  • 00:52:30.601 --> 00:52:34.204
  • Father god, thank you for sending jesus.
  • 00:52:34.204 --> 00:52:38.775
  • Jesus christ, thank you for dying for me.
  • 00:52:39.676 --> 00:52:44.248
  • I know i'm a sinner.
  • 00:52:44.715 --> 00:52:47.017
  • I know i've been hiding.
  • 00:52:47.517 --> 00:52:49.653
  • But you see, i get to come as i am.
  • 00:52:50.387 --> 00:52:53.390
  • So, i'm coming, lord.
  • 00:52:53.890 --> 00:52:55.626
  • I'm coming right now as i am,
  • 00:52:56.260 --> 00:52:59.129
  • And i wanna give my life to you,
  • 00:52:59.129 --> 00:53:01.398
  • And i wanna live for you for the rest of my days.
  • 00:53:01.398 --> 00:53:06.637
  • In jesus' name.
  • 00:53:07.004 --> 00:53:09.306
  • Amen.
  • 00:53:09.539 --> 00:53:10.841
  • You prayed that prayer,
  • 00:53:10.841 --> 00:53:12.342

  • 'cause it won't exist till we're finally home.
  • 00:53:24.421 --> 00:53:26.790
  • Just find a church where they love jesus
