  • ♪♪♪
  • 00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:39.318
  • Dr. ed young: usually after a gigantic holiday
  • 00:00:40.752 --> 00:00:43.689
  • Like christmas or easter, you begin
  • 00:00:43.689 --> 00:00:46.692
  • To read how atheists and agnostics say, "we live in a
  • 00:00:46.692 --> 00:00:51.797
  • Pluralistic society.
  • 00:00:51.797 --> 00:00:54.233
  • We want a holiday set aside for us!"
  • 00:00:54.233 --> 00:00:58.604
  • Have you heard that?
  • 00:00:58.604 --> 00:01:01.106
  • And someone responded and said, "well, we already have a day set
  • 00:01:01.106 --> 00:01:05.711
  • Aside for you --it's april the 1st!
  • 00:01:05.711 --> 00:01:07.446
  • It's april fool's day!"
  • 00:01:07.446 --> 00:01:13.819
  • Psalms chapter 14 says, "a fool has said in his heart,
  • 00:01:13.819 --> 00:01:19.625
  • 'there is no god,'" but yet, in our culture,
  • 00:01:19.625 --> 00:01:25.731
  • We have people who are atheists.
  • 00:01:25.731 --> 00:01:27.633
  • I have met only a few atheists, really,
  • 00:01:27.633 --> 00:01:30.068
  • To sit down and talk with them.
  • 00:01:30.068 --> 00:01:31.837
  • You can be an atheist and have a philosophical belief that puts
  • 00:01:31.837 --> 00:01:36.041
  • You in that camp.
  • 00:01:36.041 --> 00:01:37.376
  • There's another group called agnostics, and i meet a lot of
  • 00:01:37.376 --> 00:01:40.179
  • People who claim to be agnostics.
  • 00:01:40.179 --> 00:01:42.748
  • So let me give you a definition of agnosticism.
  • 00:01:42.748 --> 00:01:46.351
  • Let me see how this works with you.
  • 00:01:46.351 --> 00:01:48.287
  • Can you see it on your screen?
  • 00:01:48.287 --> 00:01:50.756
  • It says, "an agnostic is one who denies that we can know the
  • 00:01:50.756 --> 00:01:55.227
  • Absolute, or infinite, or prove, or disprove anything beyond
  • 00:01:55.227 --> 00:01:59.364
  • Natural phenomena of the universe,
  • 00:01:59.364 --> 00:02:02.267
  • Though such may exist."
  • 00:02:02.267 --> 00:02:05.671
  • Now let me give you a simple definition of agnosticism.
  • 00:02:05.671 --> 00:02:10.375
  • Agnosticism, the term was coined in 1889 by huxley, one of the
  • 00:02:10.375 --> 00:02:17.349
  • Early huxleys...
  • 00:02:17.349 --> 00:02:19.418
  • And he said he didn't know--he didn't know if there were a god
  • 00:02:19.418 --> 00:02:24.189
  • Or not, and the definition has expanded.
  • 00:02:24.189 --> 00:02:26.892
  • An agnostic is someone who says that unless you can prove by
  • 00:02:26.892 --> 00:02:32.331
  • The material universe that there is a god;
  • 00:02:32.331 --> 00:02:35.901
  • I will not believe that there is.
  • 00:02:35.901 --> 00:02:38.604
  • Unless you can prove by stuff we can taste, and measure,
  • 00:02:38.604 --> 00:02:43.976
  • And handle that there is a god;
  • 00:02:43.976 --> 00:02:46.044
  • I will not believe that there is a god.
  • 00:02:46.044 --> 00:02:50.549
  • Now, there are all kinds of atheists.
  • 00:02:50.549 --> 00:02:55.354
  • There is different categories of atheists, but
  • 00:02:55.354 --> 00:02:58.790
  • There are also all kinds of agnostics, and this is the
  • 00:02:58.790 --> 00:03:02.928
  • Posture that a lot of people take to say, "well, i just have
  • 00:03:02.928 --> 00:03:06.999
  • An intellectual problem, and i have trouble believing that
  • 00:03:06.999 --> 00:03:10.235
  • There is a god, and therefore, you know,
  • 00:03:10.235 --> 00:03:12.871
  • I just really don't know..."
  • 00:03:12.871 --> 00:03:15.440
  • There is first of all the indifferent agnostic.
  • 00:03:15.440 --> 00:03:20.078
  • Indifferent agno--
  • 00:03:20.078 --> 00:03:21.413
  • This is someone who says, "don't bother me with god--"
  • 00:03:21.413 --> 00:03:24.049
  • You know people like this.
  • 00:03:24.049 --> 00:03:25.384
  • "don't talk about church. don't talk about christ.
  • 00:03:25.384 --> 00:03:28.487
  • I'm just going to live my own life as best i can and do my own
  • 00:03:28.487 --> 00:03:32.257
  • Thing; follow my own pursuits; think my own thoughts.
  • 00:03:32.257 --> 00:03:36.128
  • I'm a free thinker.
  • 00:03:36.128 --> 00:03:37.496
  • Don't bother me with all that stuff!
  • 00:03:37.496 --> 00:03:39.765
  • I'm indifferent to spiritual things,
  • 00:03:39.765 --> 00:03:42.467
  • To things that relate to god."
  • 00:03:42.467 --> 00:03:44.469
  • There's a lot of people who respond to you like that.
  • 00:03:44.469 --> 00:03:46.672
  • They respond to me like that.
  • 00:03:46.672 --> 00:03:48.507
  • There's only one problem with being an indifferent agnostic.
  • 00:03:48.507 --> 00:03:52.244
  • That's when the bottom falls out of your life.
  • 00:03:52.244 --> 00:03:55.847
  • That's when an sos comes.
  • 00:03:55.847 --> 00:03:57.983
  • And i've seen so many indifferent agnostics have a
  • 00:03:57.983 --> 00:04:01.520
  • Wake-up call when the ox is in the ditch; when they have
  • 00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:06.892
  • Situations they have to face in which they have no answers.
  • 00:04:06.892 --> 00:04:11.863
  • So god deals with the indifferent agnostics.
  • 00:04:11.863 --> 00:04:15.434
  • But also, there are other kinds of agnostics that come along.
  • 00:04:15.434 --> 00:04:20.372
  • There's the searching agnostic--you know, the kind of
  • 00:04:20.372 --> 00:04:23.208
  • Person who says, "well i'm open.
  • 00:04:23.208 --> 00:04:25.744
  • If there's a god, i'm willing to read;
  • 00:04:25.744 --> 00:04:27.746
  • I'm beginning to talk about it.
  • 00:04:27.746 --> 00:04:29.081
  • Maybe there's a god, maybe there isn't-i don't know,
  • 00:04:29.081 --> 00:04:31.450
  • And i'm studying this religion and that faith,
  • 00:04:31.450 --> 00:04:34.019
  • And this understanding, and that understanding.
  • 00:04:34.019 --> 00:04:36.688
  • I'm into mysticism; i'm into gnosticism,
  • 00:04:36.688 --> 00:04:39.291
  • I'm just open. it is a searching agnostic.
  • 00:04:39.291 --> 00:04:42.828
  • If that happens to be you, i've got good news for you:
  • 00:04:42.828 --> 00:04:49.468
  • God is searching for you far more than
  • 00:04:49.468 --> 00:04:52.537
  • You think you're looking for him.
  • 00:04:52.537 --> 00:04:55.741
  • And when you find him, you really haven't found him.
  • 00:04:55.741 --> 00:04:59.311
  • The truth is, he has found you.
  • 00:04:59.311 --> 00:05:01.913
  • So i have that on good authority, those who are
  • 00:05:01.913 --> 00:05:05.083
  • Genuinely open to whether or not there is a god or
  • 00:05:05.083 --> 00:05:08.854
  • There is not a god, i've got good authority
  • 00:05:08.854 --> 00:05:11.990
  • That you will bump head-on into him!
  • 00:05:11.990 --> 00:05:17.095
  • Ask and you'll receive; seek and you'll find;
  • 00:05:17.095 --> 00:05:21.199
  • Knock and it will open unto you.
  • 00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:23.335
  • That's the words of our lord, so the searching agnostic, relax!
  • 00:05:23.335 --> 00:05:28.173
  • You'll run right straight into god if you have
  • 00:05:28.173 --> 00:05:30.442
  • An open mind and an open heart.
  • 00:05:30.442 --> 00:05:32.611
  • But then there is the dogmatic agnostic.
  • 00:05:32.611 --> 00:05:36.214
  • This is someone who says about god, "i don't know if there's a
  • 00:05:36.214 --> 00:05:39.418
  • God; you don't know if there's a god; nobody knows there is a
  • 00:05:39.418 --> 00:05:42.754
  • God, and nobody can ever know there is a god."
  • 00:05:42.754 --> 00:05:46.525
  • Now truly, someone who says this,
  • 00:05:46.525 --> 00:05:48.527
  • They've moved from being agnostic.
  • 00:05:48.527 --> 00:05:50.529
  • The bottom line is, they've become an atheist because
  • 00:05:50.529 --> 00:05:52.964
  • They've closed their mind, and they've closed their heart,
  • 00:05:52.964 --> 00:05:56.635
  • And they've ended the search.
  • 00:05:56.635 --> 00:05:59.004
  • There are many ways we could talk about and verify the fact
  • 00:05:59.004 --> 00:06:03.175
  • That there is an almighty god.
  • 00:06:03.175 --> 00:06:06.578
  • One way is called the teleological argument.
  • 00:06:06.578 --> 00:06:09.381
  • This is the argument from design.
  • 00:06:09.381 --> 00:06:11.383
  • It's the concept that you ca--
  • 00:06:11.383 --> 00:06:13.718
  • Here is the creation; there has to be a creator.
  • 00:06:13.718 --> 00:06:17.889
  • Here's the design; there has to be a designer.
  • 00:06:17.889 --> 00:06:21.660
  • The one who is president of the new york scientific society
  • 00:06:21.660 --> 00:06:24.896
  • Said, "let me tell you how i have rationally come to
  • 00:06:24.896 --> 00:06:27.966
  • Understand that there is a god."
  • 00:06:27.966 --> 00:06:30.235
  • He said, "take ten coins.
  • 00:06:30.235 --> 00:06:32.637
  • Number the coins right on there-one, two, three, four,
  • 00:06:32.637 --> 00:06:35.474
  • Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
  • 00:06:35.474 --> 00:06:37.409
  • Take those ten coins and put them in your pocket."
  • 00:06:37.409 --> 00:06:40.078
  • He said, "now, shuffle them around and reach in there"
  • 00:06:40.078 --> 00:06:42.981
  • And he said, "the odds of you pulling out the coin that has a
  • 00:06:42.981 --> 00:06:46.184
  • Number one on it is one in ten, right?
  • 00:06:46.184 --> 00:06:49.287
  • One in ten..."
  • 00:06:49.287 --> 00:06:50.722
  • He said, "put it back in your pocket, shuffle it around."
  • 00:06:50.722 --> 00:06:53.124
  • He said, "the odds that you will pull out a coin that has a two
  • 00:06:53.124 --> 00:06:57.662
  • On it," he said, "the odds are one in a hundred."
  • 00:06:57.662 --> 00:07:00.999
  • He said, "now you take all those coins and shuffle them around,
  • 00:07:00.999 --> 00:07:03.735
  • And the odds that you will reach in your pocket ten times and
  • 00:07:03.735 --> 00:07:07.272
  • Pull out ten coins in sequence, one, two, three, four, five,
  • 00:07:07.272 --> 00:07:10.742
  • Six, seven, eight, nine, ten-the odds are one in ten billion."
  • 00:07:10.742 --> 00:07:17.749
  • What is this all about?
  • 00:07:17.749 --> 00:07:20.585
  • It is exactly what george gallup said.
  • 00:07:20.585 --> 00:07:22.621
  • He said, "i can prove god statistically."
  • 00:07:22.621 --> 00:07:25.790
  • He said, "you look at the human body, all that has to come
  • 00:07:25.790 --> 00:07:30.362
  • Together to function, to move, to live, to bring life out of
  • 00:07:30.362 --> 00:07:35.267
  • That which is not life..."
  • 00:07:35.267 --> 00:07:37.302
  • He said, "statistically, to try to figure that up,
  • 00:07:37.302 --> 00:07:40.238
  • That is a monstrosity!
  • 00:07:40.238 --> 00:07:43.174
  • It is beyond anybody's understanding."
  • 00:07:43.174 --> 00:07:45.443
  • So we have a creation; we have a creator; we have a design;
  • 00:07:45.443 --> 00:07:48.914
  • We have a designer.
  • 00:07:48.914 --> 00:07:51.216
  • And the old idea, if you're in a printing shop and there's
  • 00:07:51.216 --> 00:07:54.419
  • An explosion--whoom!
  • 00:07:54.419 --> 00:07:56.855
  • And you look over, and there's a copy of the
  • 00:07:56.855 --> 00:07:59.224
  • Declaration of independence.
  • 00:07:59.224 --> 00:08:01.860
  • What are the odds of that happening?
  • 00:08:01.860 --> 00:08:05.230
  • Or you have a, a ten-thousand piece puzzle, and you jump all
  • 00:08:05.230 --> 00:08:09.234
  • The pieces together, and how many times would you have to
  • 00:08:09.234 --> 00:08:11.803
  • Throw them up where they all landed in the proper place?
  • 00:08:11.803 --> 00:08:16.141
  • Now, those who deal in statistics and logic, they will
  • 00:08:16.141 --> 00:08:19.778
  • Tell you, there is a number out there somewhere,
  • 00:08:19.778 --> 00:08:24.716
  • That so many times, it could happen.
  • 00:08:24.716 --> 00:08:27.385
  • The bottom line, those who say, "i'll not believe unless i have
  • 00:08:27.385 --> 00:08:30.388
  • Scientific evidence."
  • 00:08:30.388 --> 00:08:31.756
  • Don't understand science and don't understand philosophy.
  • 00:08:31.756 --> 00:08:34.759
  • Science and philosophy cannot prove anything absolutely!
  • 00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:41.232
  • Say it again.
  • 00:08:41.232 --> 00:08:42.601
  • Science and philosophy cannot prove anything absolutely.
  • 00:08:42.601 --> 00:08:47.405
  • There are only a few things that can be proven absolutely: a few
  • 00:08:47.405 --> 00:08:52.210
  • Mathematical theorems, and maybe some few laws of logic,
  • 00:08:52.210 --> 00:08:56.915
  • Like the law of non-contradiction,
  • 00:08:56.915 --> 00:08:58.950
  • Which the answer is built in the question.
  • 00:08:58.950 --> 00:09:02.354
  • So we have to understand, the scientists would say,
  • 00:09:02.354 --> 00:09:05.557
  • "overwhelming probability that this is true; but absolute
  • 00:09:05.557 --> 00:09:09.594
  • Truth, i cannot give to you."
  • 00:09:09.594 --> 00:09:12.564
  • So the so-called agnostics have got a proposition and a proposal
  • 00:09:12.564 --> 00:09:17.869
  • That is totally invalid by nature of what they ask for.
  • 00:09:17.869 --> 00:09:23.041
  • And a lot of us will say, "i'll not believe in god because i
  • 00:09:23.041 --> 00:09:26.611
  • Have emotional problems; because i have intellectual problems."
  • 00:09:26.611 --> 00:09:30.482
  • The bible says that's not the issue.
  • 00:09:30.482 --> 00:09:33.084
  • It's really never emotional; it's never intellectual;
  • 00:09:33.084 --> 00:09:35.320
  • It is moral.
  • 00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:37.689
  • It is moral--
  • 00:09:37.689 --> 00:09:39.124
  • Huxley had it right!
  • 00:09:39.124 --> 00:09:40.892
  • Huxley said, "when i went in my first class, philosophy 101"
  • 00:09:40.892 --> 00:09:43.962
  • He said, "i went in with the pre-supposition, i wanted to
  • 00:09:43.962 --> 00:09:47.532
  • Prove that life did not have meaning, and there is no god."
  • 00:09:47.532 --> 00:09:50.835
  • He said, "i went in with that mindset."
  • 00:09:50.835 --> 00:09:53.738
  • He said, "why?
  • 00:09:53.738 --> 00:09:55.407
  • 'cause i was dating a girl."
  • 00:09:55.407 --> 00:09:57.575
  • He said, "i knew i wouldn't marry her, but i wanted to sleep
  • 00:09:57.575 --> 00:10:00.445
  • With her; therefore, i knew if there were a god, he had a moral
  • 00:10:00.445 --> 00:10:05.984
  • Principle of living that that would illegitimate."
  • 00:10:05.984 --> 00:10:08.219
  • He said, "therefore, i wanted to prove that life had no meaning
  • 00:10:08.219 --> 00:10:11.823
  • And there was no god, because i already had a commitment
  • 00:10:11.823 --> 00:10:14.192
  • To our own, my own hedonistic lifestyle of
  • 00:10:14.192 --> 00:10:16.561
  • Pleasure and doing my own thing."
  • 00:10:16.561 --> 00:10:19.097
  • You say i can't believe in that; therefore,
  • 00:10:19.097 --> 00:10:21.866
  • You are believing in something over here is the
  • 00:10:21.866 --> 00:10:24.269
  • Reason you can't believe in that.
  • 00:10:24.269 --> 00:10:26.271
  • Huxley was an honest man!
  • 00:10:26.271 --> 00:10:28.506
  • He said, "i believe in this hedonistic lifestyle of
  • 00:10:28.506 --> 00:10:31.009
  • Pleasure; therefore, that's the reason i don't want to believe,
  • 00:10:31.009 --> 00:10:34.713
  • Regardless of how much evidence you put out before me,
  • 00:10:34.713 --> 00:10:37.649
  • That there is indeed a god."
  • 00:10:37.649 --> 00:10:41.586
  • Now, we come to a little part of our scripture that deals
  • 00:10:41.586 --> 00:10:45.490
  • With faith, and deals with doubt,
  • 00:10:45.490 --> 00:10:48.626
  • And it's a wonderful, wonderful story.
  • 00:10:48.626 --> 00:10:51.296
  • It's sandwiched between jesus feeding 5,000 on a mountain by
  • 00:10:51.296 --> 00:10:57.535
  • The sea of galilee; and then how the apostles went on the other
  • 00:10:57.535 --> 00:11:01.573
  • Side of the mountain, and they, and jesus began
  • 00:11:01.573 --> 00:11:04.542
  • To heal multitudes of people.
  • 00:11:04.542 --> 00:11:06.344
  • It's between feeding and healing, and look at this story.
  • 00:11:06.344 --> 00:11:10.348
  • It tells us a lot about doubt, and skepticism, and once again,
  • 00:11:10.348 --> 00:11:14.552
  • Introduces us to faith.
  • 00:11:14.552 --> 00:11:17.021
  • Look in matthew, chapter 14, verse 22, and we'll look 22, 24.
  • 00:11:17.021 --> 00:11:23.328
  • And this verse tells us that in life, there will be storms.
  • 00:11:23.328 --> 00:11:29.134
  • Did you get that?
  • 00:11:29.134 --> 00:11:31.336
  • In life, in everybody's life, there will be storms.
  • 00:11:31.336 --> 00:11:35.607
  • Now you may have head on television that if you think
  • 00:11:35.607 --> 00:11:38.209
  • Positively, you live a good life, a moral life-you'll be
  • 00:11:38.209 --> 00:11:41.646
  • Healthy, wealthy, wise, and you'll not have any storms; but
  • 00:11:41.646 --> 00:11:45.383
  • They don't get that from the bible.
  • 00:11:45.383 --> 00:11:47.852
  • That's sort of some kind of new age kind of positive
  • 00:11:47.852 --> 00:11:50.655
  • Thinking that's twisted here in our world.
  • 00:11:50.655 --> 00:11:54.025
  • But look what it says.
  • 00:11:54.025 --> 00:11:55.393
  • Jesus says immediately, he made the disciples get into the boat
  • 00:11:55.393 --> 00:12:00.031
  • And go ahead of him to the other side while
  • 00:12:00.031 --> 00:12:04.736
  • He sent the crowds away.
  • 00:12:04.736 --> 00:12:06.404
  • After he had sent the crowds away, he went up on the mountain
  • 00:12:06.404 --> 00:12:09.908
  • By himself to pray, and when it was evening,
  • 00:12:09.908 --> 00:12:13.678
  • Jesus was there alone.
  • 00:12:13.678 --> 00:12:15.647
  • Verse 24: but the boat was already a long distance from the
  • 00:12:15.647 --> 00:12:19.784
  • Land, battered by the waves and, for the wind was contrary.
  • 00:12:19.784 --> 00:12:26.658
  • Did you get that?
  • 00:12:26.658 --> 00:12:28.960
  • Jesus told his apostles to get in the boat, row the other side
  • 00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:33.097
  • Of the sea of galilee, and he sent them
  • 00:12:33.097 --> 00:12:35.667
  • Right in the middle of a storm.
  • 00:12:35.667 --> 00:12:38.169
  • You know, i thought if i were doing god's will, living a good
  • 00:12:38.169 --> 00:12:41.372
  • Life, coming to church and tithing, and praying that
  • 00:12:41.372 --> 00:12:44.108
  • Man--i'd not have any storms in my life!
  • 00:12:44.108 --> 00:12:46.377
  • My goodness! how can that be?
  • 00:12:46.377 --> 00:12:48.479
  • But jesus--these people,
  • 00:12:48.479 --> 00:12:50.381
  • The apostles were perfectly obedient.
  • 00:12:50.381 --> 00:12:52.383
  • It says he made them get in the boat.
  • 00:12:52.383 --> 00:12:54.352
  • Why?
  • 00:12:54.352 --> 00:12:55.687
  • You have to read the parallel accounts to get the whole story.
  • 00:12:55.687 --> 00:12:57.889
  • It's found in mark 6 and in, and in john 6.
  • 00:12:57.889 --> 00:13:01.092
  • It tells, it elaborates on this particular thing that's
  • 00:13:01.092 --> 00:13:04.762
  • Happening there as jesus, we're getting ready for him
  • 00:13:04.762 --> 00:13:07.232
  • To walk on water, you know--
  • 00:13:07.232 --> 00:13:08.967
  • And what's he saying?
  • 00:13:08.967 --> 00:13:10.301
  • They wanted to make him king--a, a king, a physical king.
  • 00:13:10.301 --> 00:13:14.305
  • And he didn't want his apostles to buy into it.
  • 00:13:14.305 --> 00:13:16.875
  • He said, "hey, we're out of here!
  • 00:13:16.875 --> 00:13:18.343
  • Get in the boat.
  • 00:13:18.343 --> 00:13:19.677
  • Go on the other side."
  • 00:13:19.677 --> 00:13:21.479
  • And that was a temptation for jesus.
  • 00:13:21.479 --> 00:13:23.848
  • And we will see in the next verse we'll look at that this
  • 00:13:23.848 --> 00:13:27.385
  • Was in the fourth watch.
  • 00:13:27.385 --> 00:13:30.021
  • What's the fourth watch?
  • 00:13:30.021 --> 00:13:31.389
  • They divided the night into six, six o'clock to nine was the
  • 00:13:31.389 --> 00:13:35.493
  • First watch; nine to twelve, second watch; twelve to three,
  • 00:13:35.493 --> 00:13:38.763
  • Third watch; three to six the fourth watch.
  • 00:13:38.763 --> 00:13:40.832
  • This was between there and six a.m.
  • 00:13:40.832 --> 00:13:43.601
  • In the morning, and they had been rowing for six and seven
  • 00:13:43.601 --> 00:13:48.006
  • Hours, trying to get that boat--
  • 00:13:48.006 --> 00:13:49.841
  • The wind was in their face.
  • 00:13:49.841 --> 00:13:51.576
  • The lightening, the storm, the waves-man!
  • 00:13:51.576 --> 00:13:54.279
  • They were overcome.
  • 00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:56.314
  • Trying, they had been rowing that boat that long and jesus
  • 00:13:56.314 --> 00:13:59.317
  • Had been praying in a mountain.
  • 00:13:59.317 --> 00:14:01.019
  • And you can go to galilee, and he could look down and see, and
  • 00:14:01.019 --> 00:14:03.955
  • He knew they were in the middle of a catastrophic storm.
  • 00:14:03.955 --> 00:14:09.594
  • Now what is this about?
  • 00:14:09.594 --> 00:14:12.263
  • When jesus knows we're in a storm, life, ladies and
  • 00:14:12.263 --> 00:14:16.234
  • Gentlemen-you're going to have storms!
  • 00:14:16.234 --> 00:14:17.702
  • Have you noticed that?
  • 00:14:17.702 --> 00:14:19.037
  • Have you picked up on that already?
  • 00:14:19.037 --> 00:14:21.306
  • It's a part of the givenness of life.
  • 00:14:21.306 --> 00:14:24.275
  • Now we have to ask, what's the purpose?
  • 00:14:24.275 --> 00:14:27.078
  • What's going on in this storm?
  • 00:14:27.078 --> 00:14:28.413
  • Why this time out?
  • 00:14:28.413 --> 00:14:29.747
  • Why this situation? why this challenge?
  • 00:14:29.747 --> 00:14:31.683
  • Why this problem with a child, or, or a husband, or a father?
  • 00:14:31.683 --> 00:14:35.920
  • Why all this?
  • 00:14:35.920 --> 00:14:37.255
  • Why this storm?
  • 00:14:37.255 --> 00:14:39.791
  • And we have to listen and discover
  • 00:14:39.791 --> 00:14:42.226
  • The meaning of the storm.
  • 00:14:42.226 --> 00:14:43.895
  • Jesus was praying.
  • 00:14:43.895 --> 00:14:45.563
  • Why was he praying?
  • 00:14:45.563 --> 00:14:46.898
  • Oh, he was praying -why did he get
  • 00:14:46.898 --> 00:14:48.633
  • Alone by himself first of all?
  • 00:14:48.633 --> 00:14:50.301
  • He had to rest.
  • 00:14:50.301 --> 00:14:51.636
  • His humanity was there.
  • 00:14:51.636 --> 00:14:52.971
  • He had to get perspective, and he had to pray because
  • 00:14:52.971 --> 00:14:55.640
  • This was a temptation, not unlike the temptation
  • 00:14:55.640 --> 00:14:58.476
  • He faced in the wilderness.
  • 00:14:58.476 --> 00:14:59.811
  • Remember?
  • 00:14:59.811 --> 00:15:01.479
  • Satan took him, said, "you can have the kingdoms of the world."
  • 00:15:01.479 --> 00:15:04.649
  • The people were having, saying, "you can be king!"
  • 00:15:04.649 --> 00:15:07.819
  • He fasted 40 days and 40 nights, and now he prayed for 6 or 7
  • 00:15:07.819 --> 00:15:11.556
  • Hours to make sure he knew the purpose of his life.
  • 00:15:11.556 --> 00:15:15.893
  • There will be storms in every life,
  • 00:15:15.893 --> 00:15:17.662
  • But i want you to see the next section.
  • 00:15:17.662 --> 00:15:19.230
  • You know what it tells us?
  • 00:15:19.230 --> 00:15:20.631
  • He said, "god, jesus christ,
  • 00:15:20.631 --> 00:15:22.633
  • Will meet us in the middle of every storm.
  • 00:15:22.633 --> 00:15:24.569
  • That's the beautiful part.
  • 00:15:24.569 --> 00:15:25.903
  • Verse 25: and the fourth watch of the night,
  • 00:15:25.903 --> 00:15:28.740
  • He came to them, walking on the sea.
  • 00:15:28.740 --> 00:15:32.477
  • When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were
  • 00:15:32.477 --> 00:15:35.079
  • Terrified and said, "it is a ghost!"
  • 00:15:35.079 --> 00:15:38.816
  • And they cried out in fear.
  • 00:15:38.816 --> 00:15:41.152
  • But immediately, jesus spoke to them saying, "take courage!
  • 00:15:41.152 --> 00:15:45.823
  • It is i.
  • 00:15:45.823 --> 00:15:47.759
  • Do not be afraid."
  • 00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:50.461
  • Principle: there'll be storms in every life, but to those who are
  • 00:15:50.461 --> 00:15:54.465
  • In the family of the lord, jesus will meet
  • 00:15:54.465 --> 00:15:56.501
  • You in the middle of that storm.
  • 00:15:56.501 --> 00:15:59.003
  • And many times as he comes in the middle of the storm,
  • 00:15:59.003 --> 00:16:01.506
  • We don't recognize him.
  • 00:16:01.506 --> 00:16:03.775
  • He, he doesn't come in the way we thought; he doesn't answer
  • 00:16:03.775 --> 00:16:06.177
  • Our prayer in this particular area.
  • 00:16:06.177 --> 00:16:08.413
  • He answers it, uh, later, to answer it better.
  • 00:16:08.413 --> 00:16:12.283
  • And we don't understand; but he comes to us in the storm
  • 00:16:12.283 --> 00:16:16.354
  • And they didn't even know it.
  • 00:16:16.354 --> 00:16:17.922
  • How many times has christ come close to you?
  • 00:16:17.922 --> 00:16:21.692
  • How many times has the holy spirit dealt with my life,
  • 00:16:21.692 --> 00:16:24.429
  • Your life, directed us, moved us, and we didn't even know it?
  • 00:16:24.429 --> 00:16:27.532
  • We, we look back in retrospect and say, "oh, i see it!"
  • 00:16:27.532 --> 00:16:30.501
  • But we didn't know it when he was
  • 00:16:30.501 --> 00:16:32.336
  • There in the middle of that storm.
  • 00:16:32.336 --> 00:16:33.704
  • He always comes to us in a storm, though many times,
  • 00:16:33.704 --> 00:16:37.041
  • We don't even recognize him.
  • 00:16:37.041 --> 00:16:39.510
  • And when he comes, what did he say?
  • 00:16:39.510 --> 00:16:41.079
  • When they were frightened, he said, "it is i."
  • 00:16:41.079 --> 00:16:44.749
  • Literally, he is saying, "it is jehovah."
  • 00:16:44.749 --> 00:16:48.419
  • He is saying, "it is the i am who has come."
  • 00:16:48.419 --> 00:16:54.025
  • Does that not-wheww-settle us down in the middle of a storm
  • 00:16:54.025 --> 00:16:57.862
  • When the "i am" is present?
  • 00:16:57.862 --> 00:17:00.498
  • That's the personal name for, for god.
  • 00:17:00.498 --> 00:17:03.401
  • "i am" has come.
  • 00:17:03.401 --> 00:17:06.938
  • Moses.
  • 00:17:06.938 --> 00:17:08.372
  • The bush was burning, remember?
  • 00:17:08.372 --> 00:17:10.541
  • Moses said, "that's an unusual bush.
  • 00:17:10.541 --> 00:17:12.777
  • I'm going to go over and look at it."
  • 00:17:12.777 --> 00:17:14.445
  • A bush is burning; it is not burning up.
  • 00:17:14.445 --> 00:17:16.380
  • It is not being consumed.
  • 00:17:16.380 --> 00:17:17.815
  • And he went over and god was in the bush.
  • 00:17:17.815 --> 00:17:21.919
  • And so moses bowed down.
  • 00:17:21.919 --> 00:17:23.588
  • He said, "who are you, god?"
  • 00:17:23.588 --> 00:17:25.523
  • He says, "i am that i am."
  • 00:17:25.523 --> 00:17:28.092
  • Literally in the hebrew, you know what god said?
  • 00:17:28.092 --> 00:17:30.561
  • He said, "i am haah!"
  • 00:17:30.561 --> 00:17:33.631
  • That's right...
  • 00:17:33.631 --> 00:17:34.999
  • "i am haah."
  • 00:17:34.999 --> 00:17:36.634
  • He said, "i am breath; i am life; i am haah.
  • 00:17:36.634 --> 00:17:42.106
  • I am that i am!"
  • 00:17:42.106 --> 00:17:44.375
  • I love major ian thomas, deals with this story classically.
  • 00:17:44.375 --> 00:17:48.212
  • He said a lot of people say,
  • 00:17:48.212 --> 00:17:49.547
  • "boy, that was some bush!
  • 00:17:49.547 --> 00:17:52.383
  • You know, burning up, fire, and" said,
  • 00:17:52.383 --> 00:17:54.952
  • "boy, that was some special bush there..."
  • 00:17:54.952 --> 00:17:56.988
  • Ian thomas says, "nah, no.
  • 00:17:56.988 --> 00:17:58.756
  • It wasn't some special bush.
  • 00:17:58.756 --> 00:18:00.091
  • When god is in a bush, any old bush'll do!"
  • 00:18:00.091 --> 00:18:05.096
  • When god is there in a storm, the haah-the life, the haah, the
  • 00:18:05.163 --> 00:18:11.736
  • I am is there!
  • 00:18:11.736 --> 00:18:13.404
  • Man, that is comfort indeed.
  • 00:18:13.404 --> 00:18:14.972
  • That is understanding indeed, even though many times we don't
  • 00:18:14.972 --> 00:18:17.675
  • Understand how he's working in the middle of your storm, and
  • 00:18:17.675 --> 00:18:20.912
  • How he's operating in the middle of our storm, or what he's doing
  • 00:18:20.912 --> 00:18:23.981
  • In the middle of the storm, let alone why he sent us out in
  • 00:18:23.981 --> 00:18:27.185
  • Storm in the first place.
  • 00:18:27.185 --> 00:18:29.220
  • Now, here's the next thing i want you to see that is
  • 00:18:29.220 --> 00:18:32.990
  • So very, very magnificent.
  • 00:18:32.990 --> 00:18:37.562
  • It's peter.
  • 00:18:37.562 --> 00:18:39.096
  • It's peter--
  • 00:18:39.096 --> 00:18:40.865
  • Peter's response to the storm was much like you and i respond.
  • 00:18:40.865 --> 00:18:47.138
  • I'm going to get ahead of myself and tell you what it was.
  • 00:18:47.138 --> 00:18:49.674
  • For a while he was walking; for a while he was sinking.
  • 00:18:49.674 --> 00:18:53.044
  • Isn't that like you and me?
  • 00:18:53.044 --> 00:18:54.378
  • A storm comes-i'm walking, i'm on top; and then i'm sinking.
  • 00:18:54.378 --> 00:18:57.715
  • Oh, i'm sinking!
  • 00:18:57.715 --> 00:18:59.083
  • And then i'm walking.
  • 00:18:59.083 --> 00:19:00.418
  • Sinking and walking, and walking and sinking,
  • 00:19:00.418 --> 00:19:02.720
  • This is how so many of us believers conduct
  • 00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:05.790
  • Ourselves in the storms of life, isn't it?
  • 00:19:05.790 --> 00:19:08.092
  • Look what happened.
  • 00:19:08.092 --> 00:19:09.427
  • First of all, we have peter's tentative faith.
  • 00:19:09.427 --> 00:19:13.798
  • I like this, verse 28: peter said to jesus,
  • 00:19:13.798 --> 00:19:16.434
  • "lord, if it is you..."
  • 00:19:16.434 --> 00:19:19.870
  • He didn't know-wind, rain, fog, storm, lightening,
  • 00:19:19.870 --> 00:19:23.140
  • Waves-couldn't see -"if it is you,
  • 00:19:23.140 --> 00:19:26.644
  • Command me to come to you on water."
  • 00:19:26.644 --> 00:19:29.880
  • And jesus said, "come!"
  • 00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:31.849
  • And peter got out of the boat and walked on the water
  • 00:19:31.849 --> 00:19:34.452
  • And came toward jesus.
  • 00:19:34.452 --> 00:19:38.055
  • Now, some people criticize peter and say,
  • 00:19:38.055 --> 00:19:41.626
  • "well, gosh, he's kind of impulsive."
  • 00:19:41.626 --> 00:19:46.030
  • See, peter was a.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.!
  • 00:19:46.030 --> 00:19:48.766
  • You gotta remember that,
  • 00:19:48.766 --> 00:19:50.868
  • And so, he's kind of impulsive.
  • 00:19:50.868 --> 00:19:53.437
  • And he, and peter, and je-he said, "if you are the
  • 00:19:53.437 --> 00:19:56.941
  • Lord; if, if you are the haah!
  • 00:19:56.941 --> 00:19:59.110
  • The i am..."
  • 00:19:59.110 --> 00:20:00.678
  • And peter just-can you imagine,
  • 00:20:00.678 --> 00:20:02.847
  • He's stepping out of that boat.
  • 00:20:02.847 --> 00:20:04.682
  • I thought about that a long time.
  • 00:20:04.682 --> 00:20:06.250
  • Man, i can see peter
  • 00:20:06.250 --> 00:20:07.685
  • -"if..." and he holds on to the boat side.
  • 00:20:07.685 --> 00:20:10.221
  • He steps out and whooooom!
  • 00:20:10.221 --> 00:20:14.091
  • Steps out, and he, he gets out and say, "lord, ehhhhhh!"
  • 00:20:14.091 --> 00:20:17.194
  • "come! ohhhhhh"
  • 00:20:17.194 --> 00:20:22.433
  • Can't, can't you see him?
  • 00:20:22.433 --> 00:20:24.101
  • And then finally, he looked at jesus...
  • 00:20:24.101 --> 00:20:29.273
  • I thought about paul in philippians.
  • 00:20:29.340 --> 00:20:30.941
  • "i can do all things through christ who strengtheneth me."
  • 00:20:30.941 --> 00:20:34.111
  • And now pete is walking on the water.
  • 00:20:34.111 --> 00:20:37.515
  • He is looking at jesus.
  • 00:20:37.515 --> 00:20:39.283
  • He's on top of that storm.
  • 00:20:39.283 --> 00:20:40.951
  • He's above that storm.
  • 00:20:40.951 --> 00:20:42.586
  • He's looking at jesus, and jesus is with him, and finally, but he
  • 00:20:42.586 --> 00:20:46.424
  • Looks away, and a big wave comes...heh, heh!
  • 00:20:46.424 --> 00:20:50.695
  • And man, he hears the lightening flash, and he looks away from
  • 00:20:50.695 --> 00:20:53.297
  • Jesus, and he begins to sink!
  • 00:20:53.297 --> 00:20:56.500
  • And so we see his tentative faith becomes fearful doubt.
  • 00:20:56.500 --> 00:21:01.539
  • Verse 30: but seeing the wind,
  • 00:21:01.539 --> 00:21:03.207
  • He became frightened and began to sink.
  • 00:21:03.207 --> 00:21:05.776
  • And he cried out...
  • 00:21:05.776 --> 00:21:07.211
  • (and what a great phrase...) "lord, save me!"
  • 00:21:07.211 --> 00:21:11.115
  • See, he got it right.
  • 00:21:11.115 --> 00:21:12.516
  • "lord, if it's you... lord, save me..."
  • 00:21:12.516 --> 00:21:14.919
  • He had the right title, didn't he?
  • 00:21:14.919 --> 00:21:16.921
  • "lord, commander in chief; head ceo; the bottom line, the one in
  • 00:21:16.921 --> 00:21:20.424
  • Charge-lord, master-lord!
  • 00:21:20.424 --> 00:21:22.693
  • Save me!"
  • 00:21:22.693 --> 00:21:25.363
  • Then look at the response of jesus.
  • 00:21:25.363 --> 00:21:29.033
  • Here's the shout, "lord save me!"
  • 00:21:29.033 --> 00:21:31.769
  • And then look at the response: immediately jesus stretched out
  • 00:21:31.769 --> 00:21:35.039
  • His hand and took hold of him and said to him,
  • 00:21:35.039 --> 00:21:38.609
  • "you of little faith; why do you doubt?"
  • 00:21:38.609 --> 00:21:42.513
  • There is that tentative faith; there is their fearful doubt,
  • 00:21:42.513 --> 00:21:47.118
  • And then there's the shout, "lord, save me!"
  • 00:21:47.118 --> 00:21:51.088
  • And he stretched out his hand.
  • 00:21:51.088 --> 00:21:53.357
  • That's what jesus does.
  • 00:21:53.357 --> 00:21:54.692
  • He just stretched out our hand.
  • 00:21:54.692 --> 00:21:56.193
  • He said, " i can reach you.
  • 00:21:56.193 --> 00:21:57.928
  • Stretch out. i can save you.
  • 00:21:57.928 --> 00:21:59.597
  • "lord, save me!"
  • 00:21:59.597 --> 00:22:01.432
  • He stretched out his hand and got a hold of peter,
  • 00:22:01.432 --> 00:22:04.935
  • And then jesus said to him, "oh ye of little faith!
  • 00:22:04.935 --> 00:22:09.340
  • Why do you doubt?"
  • 00:22:09.340 --> 00:22:12.877
  • Faith and doubt.
  • 00:22:12.877 --> 00:22:15.413
  • I was going to show you this on the screen earlier.
  • 00:22:15.413 --> 00:22:17.948
  • I want you to see it now.
  • 00:22:17.948 --> 00:22:19.450
  • What is doubt?
  • 00:22:19.450 --> 00:22:21.685
  • Doubt means two--doubt means two things.
  • 00:22:21.685 --> 00:22:27.458
  • Doubt in the english world would be someone who has a foot
  • 00:22:27.458 --> 00:22:31.862
  • In two different camps.
  • 00:22:31.862 --> 00:22:34.198
  • The chinese talk about doubt and they say it's having one foot in
  • 00:22:34.198 --> 00:22:37.701
  • One boat, one boat, and another foot in another boat.
  • 00:22:37.701 --> 00:22:40.070
  • It is being double minded.
  • 00:22:40.070 --> 00:22:42.039
  • Someone who's doubt has double-minded.
  • 00:22:42.039 --> 00:22:44.275
  • In other words, we have on one side, we have faith and we
  • 00:22:44.275 --> 00:22:47.278
  • Think the doubt is the opposite of faith.
  • 00:22:47.278 --> 00:22:48.813
  • It's not. look at your screen.
  • 00:22:48.813 --> 00:22:50.714
  • Unbelief is the opposite of faith,
  • 00:22:50.714 --> 00:22:53.484
  • And doubt is in the middle.
  • 00:22:53.484 --> 00:22:56.287
  • So in the storms of life when they come, guess what?
  • 00:22:56.287 --> 00:23:02.026
  • Jesus will meet you and me in the middle of those storms.
  • 00:23:02.026 --> 00:23:04.862
  • We respond like peter with doubt, and with faith; you know,
  • 00:23:04.862 --> 00:23:09.066
  • With tentative faith, and then will fearful doubt;
  • 00:23:09.066 --> 00:23:12.970
  • But he comes and meets our needs and takes us onboard.
  • 00:23:12.970 --> 00:23:17.541
  • And then notice in our scripture this beautiful, beautiful little
  • 00:23:17.541 --> 00:23:23.013
  • Word: immediately jesus stretched out his hand,
  • 00:23:23.013 --> 00:23:26.183
  • Took hold of him and said to him, "you of little faith!
  • 00:23:26.183 --> 00:23:29.386
  • Why do you doubt?"
  • 00:23:29.386 --> 00:23:30.988
  • And when they, and when they got into the boat, the wind stopped,
  • 00:23:30.988 --> 00:23:36.594
  • And those who were in the boat worshipped him saying,
  • 00:23:36.594 --> 00:23:40.364
  • "you are certainly god's son!"
  • 00:23:40.364 --> 00:23:45.903
  • Jesus helped pete in the boat.
  • 00:23:45.903 --> 00:23:49.440
  • When jesus got in the boat, the wind stopped.
  • 00:23:49.440 --> 00:23:54.845
  • There'll be storms in life.
  • 00:23:54.845 --> 00:23:56.947
  • Jesus will meet you and me in the middle of those storms, and
  • 00:23:56.947 --> 00:24:00.918
  • When he gets in your boat, the storm stops.
  • 00:24:00.918 --> 00:24:05.489
  • When jesus gets in your boat, the storms stops.
  • 00:24:05.489 --> 00:24:10.494
  • And then what did they do?
  • 00:24:10.494 --> 00:24:12.763
  • They worshipped him!
  • 00:24:12.763 --> 00:24:14.265
  • This is the first time we have a record of
  • 00:24:14.265 --> 00:24:16.567
  • The apostles worshipping jesus.
  • 00:24:16.567 --> 00:24:19.003
  • Remember in chapter 8?
  • 00:24:19.003 --> 00:24:21.539
  • Jesus was asleep.
  • 00:24:21.539 --> 00:24:22.873
  • Storm came. they were afraid.
  • 00:24:22.873 --> 00:24:24.542
  • Jesus spoke to the storm,
  • 00:24:24.542 --> 00:24:26.243
  • The wind and the waves and it stopped.
  • 00:24:26.243 --> 00:24:28.145
  • How did they respond to that?
  • 00:24:28.145 --> 00:24:30.014
  • They said, "what kind of man is this?"
  • 00:24:30.014 --> 00:24:33.284
  • But now, when he walked on the water and he got in the boat and
  • 00:24:33.284 --> 00:24:37.254
  • The storm stopped, they said, "this is the son of god!"
  • 00:24:37.254 --> 00:24:41.225
  • It's the first time they worshipped him.
  • 00:24:41.225 --> 00:24:44.295
  • Had jesus been worshipped before?
  • 00:24:44.295 --> 00:24:45.930
  • Yes, the magi worshipped him.
  • 00:24:45.930 --> 00:24:48.132
  • The leper who was healed worshipped him.
  • 00:24:48.132 --> 00:24:50.134
  • An elder in the synagogue worshipped him.
  • 00:24:50.134 --> 00:24:52.036
  • This is the first worship that the apostles gave.
  • 00:24:52.036 --> 00:24:55.172
  • They began to get who he is.
  • 00:24:55.172 --> 00:24:57.274
  • That's what needs to happen to you and me.
  • 00:24:57.274 --> 00:24:59.443
  • We begin to get who jesus is.
  • 00:24:59.443 --> 00:25:02.546
  • In the storms of life, he comes to us, and when he comes to us
  • 00:25:02.546 --> 00:25:06.350
  • And we say, "come on in this boat with me!"
  • 00:25:06.350 --> 00:25:08.285
  • The storm ceases!
  • 00:25:08.285 --> 00:25:10.521
  • We understand the great haah; the great i am has come.
  • 00:25:10.521 --> 00:25:17.027
