  • 00:00:15.962 --> 00:00:18.898
  • ♪♪♪
  • 00:00:20.200 --> 00:00:39.319
  • Dr. ed young: usually after a gigantic holiday
  • 00:00:40.753 --> 00:00:43.690
  • Like christmas or easter, you begin
  • 00:00:43.690 --> 00:00:46.693
  • To read how atheists and agnostics say, "we live in a
  • 00:00:46.693 --> 00:00:51.798
  • Pluralistic society.
  • 00:00:51.798 --> 00:00:54.234
  • We want a holiday set aside for us!"
  • 00:00:54.234 --> 00:00:58.605
  • Have you heard that?
  • 00:00:58.605 --> 00:01:01.107
  • And someone responded and said, "well, we already have a day set
  • 00:01:01.107 --> 00:01:05.712
  • Aside for you --it's april the 1st!
  • 00:01:05.712 --> 00:01:07.447
  • It's april fool's day!"
  • 00:01:07.447 --> 00:01:13.820
  • Psalms chapter 14 says, "a fool has said in his heart,
  • 00:01:13.820 --> 00:01:19.626
  • 'there is no god,'" but yet, in our culture,
  • 00:01:19.626 --> 00:01:25.732
  • We have people who are atheists.
  • 00:01:25.732 --> 00:01:27.634
  • I have met only a few atheists, really,
  • 00:01:27.634 --> 00:01:30.069
  • To sit down and talk with them.
  • 00:01:30.069 --> 00:01:31.838
  • You can be an atheist and have a philosophical belief that puts
  • 00:01:31.838 --> 00:01:36.042
  • You in that camp.
  • 00:01:36.042 --> 00:01:37.377
  • There's another group called agnostics, and i meet a lot of
  • 00:01:37.377 --> 00:01:40.180
  • People who claim to be agnostics.
  • 00:01:40.180 --> 00:01:42.749
  • So let me give you a definition of agnosticism.
  • 00:01:42.749 --> 00:01:46.352
  • Let me see how this works with you.
  • 00:01:46.352 --> 00:01:48.288
  • Can you see it on your screen?
  • 00:01:48.288 --> 00:01:50.757
  • It says, "an agnostic is one who denies that we can know the
  • 00:01:50.757 --> 00:01:55.228
  • Absolute, or infinite, or prove, or disprove anything beyond
  • 00:01:55.228 --> 00:01:59.365
  • Natural phenomena of the universe,
  • 00:01:59.365 --> 00:02:02.268
  • Though such may exist."
  • 00:02:02.268 --> 00:02:05.672
  • Now let me give you a simple definition of agnosticism.
  • 00:02:05.672 --> 00:02:10.376
  • Agnosticism, the term was coined in 1889 by huxley, one of the
  • 00:02:10.376 --> 00:02:17.350
  • Early huxleys...
  • 00:02:17.350 --> 00:02:19.419
  • And he said he didn't know--he didn't know if there were a god
  • 00:02:19.419 --> 00:02:24.190
  • Or not, and the definition has expanded.
  • 00:02:24.190 --> 00:02:26.893
  • An agnostic is someone who says that unless you can prove by
  • 00:02:26.893 --> 00:02:32.332
  • The material universe that there is a god;
  • 00:02:32.332 --> 00:02:35.902
  • I will not believe that there is.
  • 00:02:35.902 --> 00:02:38.605
  • Unless you can prove by stuff we can taste, and measure,
  • 00:02:38.605 --> 00:02:43.977
  • And handle that there is a god;
  • 00:02:43.977 --> 00:02:46.045
  • I will not believe that there is a god.
  • 00:02:46.045 --> 00:02:50.550
  • Now, there are all kinds of atheists.
  • 00:02:50.550 --> 00:02:55.355
  • There is different categories of atheists, but
  • 00:02:55.355 --> 00:02:58.791
  • There are also all kinds of agnostics, and this is the
  • 00:02:58.791 --> 00:03:02.929
  • Posture that a lot of people take to say, "well, i just have
  • 00:03:02.929 --> 00:03:07.000
  • An intellectual problem, and i have trouble believing that
  • 00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:10.236
  • There is a god, and therefore, you know,
  • 00:03:10.236 --> 00:03:12.872
  • I just really don't know..."
  • 00:03:12.872 --> 00:03:15.441
  • There is first of all the indifferent agnostic.
  • 00:03:15.441 --> 00:03:20.079
  • Indifferent agno--
  • 00:03:20.079 --> 00:03:21.414
  • This is someone who says, "don't bother me with god--"
  • 00:03:21.414 --> 00:03:24.050
  • You know people like this.
  • 00:03:24.050 --> 00:03:25.385
  • "don't talk about church. don't talk about christ.
  • 00:03:25.385 --> 00:03:28.488
  • I'm just going to live my own life as best i can and do my own
  • 00:03:28.488 --> 00:03:32.258
  • Thing; follow my own pursuits; think my own thoughts.
  • 00:03:32.258 --> 00:03:36.129
  • I'm a free thinker.
  • 00:03:36.129 --> 00:03:37.497
  • Don't bother me with all that stuff!
  • 00:03:37.497 --> 00:03:39.766
  • I'm indifferent to spiritual things,
  • 00:03:39.766 --> 00:03:42.468
  • To things that relate to god."
  • 00:03:42.468 --> 00:03:44.470
  • There's a lot of people who respond to you like that.
  • 00:03:44.470 --> 00:03:46.673
  • They respond to me like that.
  • 00:03:46.673 --> 00:03:48.508
  • There's only one problem with being an indifferent agnostic.
  • 00:03:48.508 --> 00:03:52.245
  • That's when the bottom falls out of your life.
  • 00:03:52.245 --> 00:03:55.848
  • That's when an sos comes.
  • 00:03:55.848 --> 00:03:57.984
  • And i've seen so many indifferent agnostics have a
  • 00:03:57.984 --> 00:04:01.521
  • Wake-up call when the ox is in the ditch; when they have
  • 00:04:01.521 --> 00:04:06.893
  • Situations they have to face in which they have no answers.
  • 00:04:06.893 --> 00:04:11.864
  • So god deals with the indifferent agnostics.
  • 00:04:11.864 --> 00:04:15.435
  • But also, there are other kinds of agnostics that come along.
  • 00:04:15.435 --> 00:04:20.373
  • There's the searching agnostic--you know, the kind of
  • 00:04:20.373 --> 00:04:23.209
  • Person who says, "well i'm open.
  • 00:04:23.209 --> 00:04:25.745
  • If there's a god, i'm willing to read;
  • 00:04:25.745 --> 00:04:27.747
  • I'm beginning to talk about it.
  • 00:04:27.747 --> 00:04:29.082
  • Maybe there's a god, maybe there isn't-i don't know,
  • 00:04:29.082 --> 00:04:31.451
  • And i'm studying this religion and that faith,
  • 00:04:31.451 --> 00:04:34.020
  • And this understanding, and that understanding.
  • 00:04:34.020 --> 00:04:36.689
  • I'm into mysticism; i'm into gnosticism,
  • 00:04:36.689 --> 00:04:39.292
  • I'm just open. it is a searching agnostic.
  • 00:04:39.292 --> 00:04:42.829
  • If that happens to be you, i've got good news for you:
  • 00:04:42.829 --> 00:04:49.469
  • God is searching for you far more than
  • 00:04:49.469 --> 00:04:52.538
  • You think you're looking for him.
  • 00:04:52.538 --> 00:04:55.742
  • And when you find him, you really haven't found him.
  • 00:04:55.742 --> 00:04:59.312
  • The truth is, he has found you.
  • 00:04:59.312 --> 00:05:01.914
  • So i have that on good authority, those who are
  • 00:05:01.914 --> 00:05:05.084
  • Genuinely open to whether or not there is a god or
  • 00:05:05.084 --> 00:05:08.855
  • There is not a god, i've got good authority
  • 00:05:08.855 --> 00:05:11.991
  • That you will bump head-on into him!
  • 00:05:11.991 --> 00:05:17.096
  • Ask and you'll receive; seek and you'll find;
  • 00:05:17.096 --> 00:05:21.200
  • Knock and it will open unto you.
  • 00:05:21.200 --> 00:05:23.336
  • That's the words of our lord, so the searching agnostic, relax!
  • 00:05:23.336 --> 00:05:28.174
  • You'll run right straight into god if you have
  • 00:05:28.174 --> 00:05:30.443
  • An open mind and an open heart.
  • 00:05:30.443 --> 00:05:32.612
  • But then there is the dogmatic agnostic.
  • 00:05:32.612 --> 00:05:36.215
  • This is someone who says about god, "i don't know if there's a
  • 00:05:36.215 --> 00:05:39.419
  • God; you don't know if there's a god; nobody knows there is a
  • 00:05:39.419 --> 00:05:42.755
  • God, and nobody can ever know there is a god."
  • 00:05:42.755 --> 00:05:46.526
  • Now truly, someone who says this,
  • 00:05:46.526 --> 00:05:48.528
  • They've moved from being agnostic.
  • 00:05:48.528 --> 00:05:50.530
  • The bottom line is, they've become an atheist because
  • 00:05:50.530 --> 00:05:52.965
  • They've closed their mind, and they've closed their heart,
  • 00:05:52.965 --> 00:05:56.636
  • And they've ended the search.
  • 00:05:56.636 --> 00:05:59.005
  • There are many ways we could talk about and verify the fact
  • 00:05:59.005 --> 00:06:03.176
  • That there is an almighty god.
  • 00:06:03.176 --> 00:06:06.579
  • One way is called the teleological argument.
  • 00:06:06.579 --> 00:06:09.382
  • This is the argument from design.
  • 00:06:09.382 --> 00:06:11.384
  • It's the concept that you ca--
  • 00:06:11.384 --> 00:06:13.719
  • Here is the creation; there has to be a creator.
  • 00:06:13.719 --> 00:06:17.890
  • Here's the design; there has to be a designer.
  • 00:06:17.890 --> 00:06:21.661
  • The one who is president of the new york scientific society
  • 00:06:21.661 --> 00:06:24.897
  • Said, "let me tell you how i have rationally come to
  • 00:06:24.897 --> 00:06:27.967
  • Understand that there is a god."
  • 00:06:27.967 --> 00:06:30.236
  • He said, "take ten coins.
  • 00:06:30.236 --> 00:06:32.638
  • Number the coins right on there-one, two, three, four,
  • 00:06:32.638 --> 00:06:35.475
  • Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
  • 00:06:35.475 --> 00:06:37.410
  • Take those ten coins and put them in your pocket."
  • 00:06:37.410 --> 00:06:40.079
  • He said, "now, shuffle them around and reach in there"
  • 00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:42.982
  • And he said, "the odds of you pulling out the coin that has a
  • 00:06:42.982 --> 00:06:46.185
  • Number one on it is one in ten, right?
  • 00:06:46.185 --> 00:06:49.288
  • One in ten..."
  • 00:06:49.288 --> 00:06:50.723
  • He said, "put it back in your pocket, shuffle it around."
  • 00:06:50.723 --> 00:06:53.125
  • He said, "the odds that you will pull out a coin that has a two
  • 00:06:53.125 --> 00:06:57.663
  • On it," he said, "the odds are one in a hundred."
  • 00:06:57.663 --> 00:07:01.000
  • He said, "now you take all those coins and shuffle them around,
  • 00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:03.736
  • And the odds that you will reach in your pocket ten times and
  • 00:07:03.736 --> 00:07:07.273
  • Pull out ten coins in sequence, one, two, three, four, five,
  • 00:07:07.273 --> 00:07:10.743
  • Six, seven, eight, nine, ten-the odds are one in ten billion."
  • 00:07:10.743 --> 00:07:17.750
  • What is this all about?
  • 00:07:17.750 --> 00:07:20.586
  • It is exactly what george gallup said.
  • 00:07:20.586 --> 00:07:22.622
  • He said, "i can prove god statistically."
  • 00:07:22.622 --> 00:07:25.791
  • He said, "you look at the human body, all that has to come
  • 00:07:25.791 --> 00:07:30.363
  • Together to function, to move, to live, to bring life out of
  • 00:07:30.363 --> 00:07:35.268
  • That which is not life..."
  • 00:07:35.268 --> 00:07:37.303
  • He said, "statistically, to try to figure that up,
  • 00:07:37.303 --> 00:07:40.239
  • That is a monstrosity!
  • 00:07:40.239 --> 00:07:43.175
  • It is beyond anybody's understanding."
  • 00:07:43.175 --> 00:07:45.444
  • So we have a creation; we have a creator; we have a design;
  • 00:07:45.444 --> 00:07:48.915
  • We have a designer.
  • 00:07:48.915 --> 00:07:51.217
  • And the old idea, if you're in a printing shop and there's
  • 00:07:51.217 --> 00:07:54.420
  • An explosion--whoom!
  • 00:07:54.420 --> 00:07:56.856
  • And you look over, and there's a copy of the
  • 00:07:56.856 --> 00:07:59.225
  • Declaration of independence.
  • 00:07:59.225 --> 00:08:01.861
  • What are the odds of that happening?
  • 00:08:01.861 --> 00:08:05.231
  • Or you have a, a ten-thousand piece puzzle, and you jump all
  • 00:08:05.231 --> 00:08:09.235
  • The pieces together, and how many times would you have to
  • 00:08:09.235 --> 00:08:11.804
  • Throw them up where they all landed in the proper place?
  • 00:08:11.804 --> 00:08:16.142
  • Now, those who deal in statistics and logic, they will
  • 00:08:16.142 --> 00:08:19.779
  • Tell you, there is a number out there somewhere,
  • 00:08:19.779 --> 00:08:24.717
  • That so many times, it could happen.
  • 00:08:24.717 --> 00:08:27.386
  • The bottom line, those who say, "i'll not believe unless i have
  • 00:08:27.386 --> 00:08:30.389
  • Scientific evidence."
  • 00:08:30.389 --> 00:08:31.757
  • Don't understand science and don't understand philosophy.
  • 00:08:31.757 --> 00:08:34.760
  • Science and philosophy cannot prove anything absolutely!
  • 00:08:34.760 --> 00:08:41.233
  • Say it again.
  • 00:08:41.233 --> 00:08:42.602
  • Science and philosophy cannot prove anything absolutely.
  • 00:08:42.602 --> 00:08:47.406
  • There are only a few things that can be proven absolutely: a few
  • 00:08:47.406 --> 00:08:52.211
  • Mathematical theorems, and maybe some few laws of logic,
  • 00:08:52.211 --> 00:08:56.916
  • Like the law of non-contradiction,
  • 00:08:56.916 --> 00:08:58.951
  • Which the answer is built in the question.
  • 00:08:58.951 --> 00:09:02.355
  • So we have to understand, the scientists would say,
  • 00:09:02.355 --> 00:09:05.558
  • "overwhelming probability that this is true; but absolute
  • 00:09:05.558 --> 00:09:09.595
  • Truth, i cannot give to you."
  • 00:09:09.595 --> 00:09:12.565
  • So the so-called agnostics have got a proposition and a proposal
  • 00:09:12.565 --> 00:09:17.870
  • That is totally invalid by nature of what they ask for.
  • 00:09:17.870 --> 00:09:23.042
  • And a lot of us will say, "i'll not believe in god because i
  • 00:09:23.042 --> 00:09:26.612
  • Have emotional problems; because i have intellectual problems."
  • 00:09:26.612 --> 00:09:30.483
  • The bible says that's not the issue.
  • 00:09:30.483 --> 00:09:33.085
  • It's really never emotional; it's never intellectual;
  • 00:09:33.085 --> 00:09:35.321
  • It is moral.
  • 00:09:35.321 --> 00:09:37.690
  • It is moral--
  • 00:09:37.690 --> 00:09:39.125
  • Huxley had it right!
  • 00:09:39.125 --> 00:09:40.893
  • Huxley said, "when i went in my first class, philosophy 101"
  • 00:09:40.893 --> 00:09:43.963
  • He said, "i went in with the pre-supposition, i wanted to
  • 00:09:43.963 --> 00:09:47.533
  • Prove that life did not have meaning, and there is no god."
  • 00:09:47.533 --> 00:09:50.836
  • He said, "i went in with that mindset."
  • 00:09:50.836 --> 00:09:53.739
  • He said, "why?
  • 00:09:53.739 --> 00:09:55.408
  • 'cause i was dating a girl."
  • 00:09:55.408 --> 00:09:57.576
  • He said, "i knew i wouldn't marry her, but i wanted to sleep
  • 00:09:57.576 --> 00:10:00.446
  • With her; therefore, i knew if there were a god, he had a moral
  • 00:10:00.446 --> 00:10:05.985
  • Principle of living that that would illegitimate."
  • 00:10:05.985 --> 00:10:08.220
  • He said, "therefore, i wanted to prove that life had no meaning
  • 00:10:08.220 --> 00:10:11.824
  • And there was no god, because i already had a commitment
  • 00:10:11.824 --> 00:10:14.193
  • To our own, my own hedonistic lifestyle of
  • 00:10:14.193 --> 00:10:16.562
  • Pleasure and doing my own thing."
  • 00:10:16.562 --> 00:10:19.098
  • You say i can't believe in that; therefore,
  • 00:10:19.098 --> 00:10:21.867
  • You are believing in something over here is the
  • 00:10:21.867 --> 00:10:24.270
  • Reason you can't believe in that.
  • 00:10:24.270 --> 00:10:26.272
  • Huxley was an honest man!
  • 00:10:26.272 --> 00:10:28.507
  • He said, "i believe in this hedonistic lifestyle of
  • 00:10:28.507 --> 00:10:31.010
  • Pleasure; therefore, that's the reason i don't want to believe,
  • 00:10:31.010 --> 00:10:34.714
  • Regardless of how much evidence you put out before me,
  • 00:10:34.714 --> 00:10:37.650
  • That there is indeed a god."
  • 00:10:37.650 --> 00:10:41.587
  • Now, we come to a little part of our scripture that deals
  • 00:10:41.587 --> 00:10:45.491
  • With faith, and deals with doubt,
  • 00:10:45.491 --> 00:10:48.627
  • And it's a wonderful, wonderful story.
  • 00:10:48.627 --> 00:10:51.297
  • It's sandwiched between jesus feeding 5,000 on a mountain by
  • 00:10:51.297 --> 00:10:57.536
  • The sea of galilee; and then how the apostles went on the other
  • 00:10:57.536 --> 00:11:01.574
  • Side of the mountain, and they, and jesus began
  • 00:11:01.574 --> 00:11:04.543
  • To heal multitudes of people.
  • 00:11:04.543 --> 00:11:06.345
  • It's between feeding and healing, and look at this story.
  • 00:11:06.345 --> 00:11:10.349
  • It tells us a lot about doubt, and skepticism, and once again,
  • 00:11:10.349 --> 00:11:14.553
  • Introduces us to faith.
  • 00:11:14.553 --> 00:11:17.022
  • Look in matthew, chapter 14, verse 22, and we'll look 22, 24.
  • 00:11:17.022 --> 00:11:23.329
  • And this verse tells us that in life, there will be storms.
  • 00:11:23.329 --> 00:11:29.135
  • Did you get that?
  • 00:11:29.135 --> 00:11:31.337
  • In life, in everybody's life, there will be storms.
  • 00:11:31.337 --> 00:11:35.608
  • Now you may have head on television that if you think
  • 00:11:35.608 --> 00:11:38.210
  • Positively, you live a good life, a moral life-you'll be
  • 00:11:38.210 --> 00:11:41.647
  • Healthy, wealthy, wise, and you'll not have any storms; but
  • 00:11:41.647 --> 00:11:45.384
  • They don't get that from the bible.
  • 00:11:45.384 --> 00:11:47.853
  • That's sort of some kind of new age kind of positive
  • 00:11:47.853 --> 00:11:50.656
  • Thinking that's twisted here in our world.
  • 00:11:50.656 --> 00:11:54.026
  • But look what it says.
  • 00:11:54.026 --> 00:11:55.394
  • Jesus says immediately, he made the disciples get into the boat
  • 00:11:55.394 --> 00:12:00.032
  • And go ahead of him to the other side while
  • 00:12:00.032 --> 00:12:04.737
  • He sent the crowds away.
  • 00:12:04.737 --> 00:12:06.405
  • After he had sent the crowds away, he went up on the mountain
  • 00:12:06.405 --> 00:12:09.909
  • By himself to pray, and when it was evening,
  • 00:12:09.909 --> 00:12:13.679
  • Jesus was there alone.
  • 00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:15.648
  • Verse 24: but the boat was already a long distance from the
  • 00:12:15.648 --> 00:12:19.785
  • Land, battered by the waves and, for the wind was contrary.
  • 00:12:19.785 --> 00:12:26.659
  • Did you get that?
  • 00:12:26.659 --> 00:12:28.961
  • Jesus told his apostles to get in the boat, row the other side
  • 00:12:28.961 --> 00:12:33.098
  • Of the sea of galilee, and he sent them
  • 00:12:33.098 --> 00:12:35.668
  • Right in the middle of a storm.
  • 00:12:35.668 --> 00:12:38.170
  • You know, i thought if i were doing god's will, living a good
  • 00:12:38.170 --> 00:12:41.373
  • Life, coming to church and tithing, and praying that
  • 00:12:41.373 --> 00:12:44.109
  • Man--i'd not have any storms in my life!
  • 00:12:44.109 --> 00:12:46.378
  • My goodness! how can that be?
  • 00:12:46.378 --> 00:12:48.480
  • But jesus--these people,
  • 00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:50.382
  • The apostles were perfectly obedient.
  • 00:12:50.382 --> 00:12:52.384
  • It says he made them get in the boat.
  • 00:12:52.384 --> 00:12:54.353
  • Why?
  • 00:12:54.353 --> 00:12:55.688
  • You have to read the parallel accounts to get the whole story.
  • 00:12:55.688 --> 00:12:57.890
  • It's found in mark 6 and in, and in john 6.
  • 00:12:57.890 --> 00:13:01.093
  • It tells, it elaborates on this particular thing that's
  • 00:13:01.093 --> 00:13:04.763
  • Happening there as jesus, we're getting ready for him
  • 00:13:04.763 --> 00:13:07.233
  • To walk on water, you know--
  • 00:13:07.233 --> 00:13:08.968
  • And what's he saying?
  • 00:13:08.968 --> 00:13:10.302
  • They wanted to make him king--a, a king, a physical king.
  • 00:13:10.302 --> 00:13:14.306
  • And he didn't want his apostles to buy into it.
  • 00:13:14.306 --> 00:13:16.876
  • He said, "hey, we're out of here!
  • 00:13:16.876 --> 00:13:18.344
  • Get in the boat.
  • 00:13:18.344 --> 00:13:19.678
  • Go on the other side."
  • 00:13:19.678 --> 00:13:21.480
  • And that was a temptation for jesus.
  • 00:13:21.480 --> 00:13:23.849
  • And we will see in the next verse we'll look at that this
  • 00:13:23.849 --> 00:13:27.386
  • Was in the fourth watch.
  • 00:13:27.386 --> 00:13:30.022
  • What's the fourth watch?
  • 00:13:30.022 --> 00:13:31.390
  • They divided the night into six, six o'clock to nine was the
  • 00:13:31.390 --> 00:13:35.494
  • First watch; nine to twelve, second watch; twelve to three,
  • 00:13:35.494 --> 00:13:38.764
  • Third watch; three to six the fourth watch.
  • 00:13:38.764 --> 00:13:40.833
  • This was between there and six a.m.
  • 00:13:40.833 --> 00:13:43.602
  • In the morning, and they had been rowing for six and seven
  • 00:13:43.602 --> 00:13:48.007
  • Hours, trying to get that boat--
  • 00:13:48.007 --> 00:13:49.842
  • The wind was in their face.
  • 00:13:49.842 --> 00:13:51.577
  • The lightening, the storm, the waves-man!
  • 00:13:51.577 --> 00:13:54.280
  • They were overcome.
  • 00:13:54.280 --> 00:13:56.315
  • Trying, they had been rowing that boat that long and jesus
  • 00:13:56.315 --> 00:13:59.318
  • Had been praying in a mountain.
  • 00:13:59.318 --> 00:14:01.020
  • And you can go to galilee, and he could look down and see, and
  • 00:14:01.020 --> 00:14:03.956
  • He knew they were in the middle of a catastrophic storm.
  • 00:14:03.956 --> 00:14:09.595
  • Now what is this about?
  • 00:14:09.595 --> 00:14:12.264
  • When jesus knows we're in a storm, life, ladies and
  • 00:14:12.264 --> 00:14:16.235
  • Gentlemen-you're going to have storms!
  • 00:14:16.235 --> 00:14:17.703
  • Have you noticed that?
  • 00:14:17.703 --> 00:14:19.038
  • Have you picked up on that already?
  • 00:14:19.038 --> 00:14:21.307
  • It's a part of the givenness of life.
  • 00:14:21.307 --> 00:14:24.276
  • Now we have to ask, what's the purpose?
  • 00:14:24.276 --> 00:14:27.079
  • What's going on in this storm?
  • 00:14:27.079 --> 00:14:28.414
  • Why this time out?
  • 00:14:28.414 --> 00:14:29.748
  • Why this situation? why this challenge?
  • 00:14:29.748 --> 00:14:31.684
  • Why this problem with a child, or, or a husband, or a father?
  • 00:14:31.684 --> 00:14:35.921
  • Why all this?
  • 00:14:35.921 --> 00:14:37.256
  • Why this storm?
  • 00:14:37.256 --> 00:14:39.792
  • And we have to listen and discover
  • 00:14:39.792 --> 00:14:42.227
  • The meaning of the storm.
  • 00:14:42.227 --> 00:14:43.896
  • Jesus was praying.
  • 00:14:43.896 --> 00:14:45.564
  • Why was he praying?
  • 00:14:45.564 --> 00:14:46.899
  • Oh, he was praying -why did he get
  • 00:14:46.899 --> 00:14:48.634
  • Alone by himself first of all?
  • 00:14:48.634 --> 00:14:50.302
  • He had to rest.
  • 00:14:50.302 --> 00:14:51.637
  • His humanity was there.
  • 00:14:51.637 --> 00:14:52.972
  • He had to get perspective, and he had to pray because
  • 00:14:52.972 --> 00:14:55.641
  • This was a temptation, not unlike the temptation
  • 00:14:55.641 --> 00:14:58.477
  • He faced in the wilderness.
  • 00:14:58.477 --> 00:14:59.812
  • Remember?
  • 00:14:59.812 --> 00:15:01.480
  • Satan took him, said, "you can have the kingdoms of the world."
  • 00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:04.650
  • The people were having, saying, "you can be king!"
  • 00:15:04.650 --> 00:15:07.820
  • He fasted 40 days and 40 nights, and now he prayed for 6 or 7
  • 00:15:07.820 --> 00:15:11.557
  • Hours to make sure he knew the purpose of his life.
  • 00:15:11.557 --> 00:15:15.894
  • There will be storms in every life,
  • 00:15:15.894 --> 00:15:17.663
  • But i want you to see the next section.
  • 00:15:17.663 --> 00:15:19.231
  • You know what it tells us?
  • 00:15:19.231 --> 00:15:20.632
  • He said, "god, jesus christ,
  • 00:15:20.632 --> 00:15:22.634
  • Will meet us in the middle of every storm.
  • 00:15:22.634 --> 00:15:24.570
  • That's the beautiful part.
  • 00:15:24.570 --> 00:15:25.904
  • Verse 25: and the fourth watch of the night,
  • 00:15:25.904 --> 00:15:28.741
  • He came to them, walking on the sea.
  • 00:15:28.741 --> 00:15:32.478
  • When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were
  • 00:15:32.478 --> 00:15:35.080
  • Terrified and said, "it is a ghost!"
  • 00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:38.817
  • And they cried out in fear.
  • 00:15:38.817 --> 00:15:41.153
  • But immediately, jesus spoke to them saying, "take courage!
  • 00:15:41.153 --> 00:15:45.824
  • It is i.
  • 00:15:45.824 --> 00:15:47.760
  • Do not be afraid."
  • 00:15:47.760 --> 00:15:50.462
  • Principle: there'll be storms in every life, but to those who are
  • 00:15:50.462 --> 00:15:54.466
  • In the family of the lord, jesus will meet
  • 00:15:54.466 --> 00:15:56.502
  • You in the middle of that storm.
  • 00:15:56.502 --> 00:15:59.004
  • And many times as he comes in the middle of the storm,
  • 00:15:59.004 --> 00:16:01.507
  • We don't recognize him.
  • 00:16:01.507 --> 00:16:03.776
  • He, he doesn't come in the way we thought; he doesn't answer
  • 00:16:03.776 --> 00:16:06.178
  • Our prayer in this particular area.
  • 00:16:06.178 --> 00:16:08.414
  • He answers it, uh, later, to answer it better.
  • 00:16:08.414 --> 00:16:12.284
  • And we don't understand; but he comes to us in the storm
  • 00:16:12.284 --> 00:16:16.355
  • And they didn't even know it.
  • 00:16:16.355 --> 00:16:17.923
  • How many times has christ come close to you?
  • 00:16:17.923 --> 00:16:21.693
  • How many times has the holy spirit dealt with my life,
  • 00:16:21.693 --> 00:16:24.430
  • Your life, directed us, moved us, and we didn't even know it?
  • 00:16:24.430 --> 00:16:27.533
  • We, we look back in retrospect and say, "oh, i see it!"
  • 00:16:27.533 --> 00:16:30.502
  • But we didn't know it when he was
  • 00:16:30.502 --> 00:16:32.337
  • There in the middle of that storm.
  • 00:16:32.337 --> 00:16:33.705
  • He always comes to us in a storm, though many times,
  • 00:16:33.705 --> 00:16:37.042
  • We don't even recognize him.
  • 00:16:37.042 --> 00:16:39.511
  • And when he comes, what did he say?
  • 00:16:39.511 --> 00:16:41.080
  • When they were frightened, he said, "it is i."
  • 00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:44.750
  • Literally, he is saying, "it is jehovah."
  • 00:16:44.750 --> 00:16:48.420
  • He is saying, "it is the i am who has come."
  • 00:16:48.420 --> 00:16:54.026
  • Does that not-wheww-settle us down in the middle of a storm
  • 00:16:54.026 --> 00:16:57.863
  • When the "i am" is present?
  • 00:16:57.863 --> 00:17:00.499
  • That's the personal name for, for god.
  • 00:17:00.499 --> 00:17:03.402
  • "i am" has come.
  • 00:17:03.402 --> 00:17:06.939
  • Moses.
  • 00:17:06.939 --> 00:17:08.373
  • The bush was burning, remember?
  • 00:17:08.373 --> 00:17:10.542
  • Moses said, "that's an unusual bush.
  • 00:17:10.542 --> 00:17:12.778
  • I'm going to go over and look at it."
  • 00:17:12.778 --> 00:17:14.446
  • A bush is burning; it is not burning up.
  • 00:17:14.446 --> 00:17:16.381
  • It is not being consumed.
  • 00:17:16.381 --> 00:17:17.816
  • And he went over and god was in the bush.
  • 00:17:17.816 --> 00:17:21.920
  • And so moses bowed down.
  • 00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:23.589
  • He said, "who are you, god?"
  • 00:17:23.589 --> 00:17:25.524
  • He says, "i am that i am."
  • 00:17:25.524 --> 00:17:28.093
  • Literally in the hebrew, you know what god said?
  • 00:17:28.093 --> 00:17:30.562
  • He said, "i am haah!"
  • 00:17:30.562 --> 00:17:33.632
  • That's right...
  • 00:17:33.632 --> 00:17:35.000
  • "i am haah."
  • 00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:36.635
  • He said, "i am breath; i am life; i am haah.
  • 00:17:36.635 --> 00:17:42.107
  • I am that i am!"
  • 00:17:42.107 --> 00:17:44.376
  • I love major ian thomas, deals with this story classically.
  • 00:17:44.376 --> 00:17:48.213
  • He said a lot of people say,
  • 00:17:48.213 --> 00:17:49.548
  • "boy, that was some bush!
  • 00:17:49.548 --> 00:17:52.384
  • You know, burning up, fire, and" said,
  • 00:17:52.384 --> 00:17:54.953
  • "boy, that was some special bush there..."
  • 00:17:54.953 --> 00:17:56.989
  • Ian thomas says, "nah, no.
  • 00:17:56.989 --> 00:17:58.757
  • It wasn't some special bush.
  • 00:17:58.757 --> 00:18:00.092
  • When god is in a bush, any old bush'll do!"
  • 00:18:00.092 --> 00:18:05.097
  • When god is there in a storm, the haah-the life, the haah, the
  • 00:18:05.164 --> 00:18:11.737
  • I am is there!
  • 00:18:11.737 --> 00:18:13.405
  • Man, that is comfort indeed.
  • 00:18:13.405 --> 00:18:14.973
  • That is understanding indeed, even though many times we don't
  • 00:18:14.973 --> 00:18:17.676
  • Understand how he's working in the middle of your storm, and
  • 00:18:17.676 --> 00:18:20.913
  • How he's operating in the middle of our storm, or what he's doing
  • 00:18:20.913 --> 00:18:23.982
  • In the middle of the storm, let alone why he sent us out in
  • 00:18:23.982 --> 00:18:27.186
  • Storm in the first place.
  • 00:18:27.186 --> 00:18:29.221
  • Now, here's the next thing i want you to see that is
  • 00:18:29.221 --> 00:18:32.991
  • So very, very magnificent.
  • 00:18:32.991 --> 00:18:37.563
  • It's peter.
  • 00:18:37.563 --> 00:18:39.097
  • It's peter--
  • 00:18:39.097 --> 00:18:40.866
  • Peter's response to the storm was much like you and i respond.
  • 00:18:40.866 --> 00:18:47.139
  • I'm going to get ahead of myself and tell you what it was.
  • 00:18:47.139 --> 00:18:49.675
  • For a while he was walking; for a while he was sinking.
  • 00:18:49.675 --> 00:18:53.045
  • Isn't that like you and me?
  • 00:18:53.045 --> 00:18:54.379
  • A storm comes-i'm walking, i'm on top; and then i'm sinking.
  • 00:18:54.379 --> 00:18:57.716
  • Oh, i'm sinking!
  • 00:18:57.716 --> 00:18:59.084
  • And then i'm walking.
  • 00:18:59.084 --> 00:19:00.419
  • Sinking and walking, and walking and sinking,
  • 00:19:00.419 --> 00:19:02.721
  • This is how so many of us believers conduct
  • 00:19:02.721 --> 00:19:05.791
  • Ourselves in the storms of life, isn't it?
  • 00:19:05.791 --> 00:19:08.093
  • Look what happened.
  • 00:19:08.093 --> 00:19:09.428
  • First of all, we have peter's tentative faith.
  • 00:19:09.428 --> 00:19:13.799
  • I like this, verse 28: peter said to jesus,
  • 00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:16.435
  • "lord, if it is you..."
  • 00:19:16.435 --> 00:19:19.871
  • He didn't know-wind, rain, fog, storm, lightening,
  • 00:19:19.871 --> 00:19:23.141
  • Waves-couldn't see -"if it is you,
  • 00:19:23.141 --> 00:19:26.645
  • Command me to come to you on water."
  • 00:19:26.645 --> 00:19:29.881
  • And jesus said, "come!"
  • 00:19:29.881 --> 00:19:31.850
  • And peter got out of the boat and walked on the water
  • 00:19:31.850 --> 00:19:34.453
  • And came toward jesus.
  • 00:19:34.453 --> 00:19:38.056
  • Now, some people criticize peter and say,
  • 00:19:38.056 --> 00:19:41.627
  • "well, gosh, he's kind of impulsive."
  • 00:19:41.627 --> 00:19:46.031
  • See, peter was a.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.!
  • 00:19:46.031 --> 00:19:48.767
  • You gotta remember that,
  • 00:19:48.767 --> 00:19:50.869
  • And so, he's kind of impulsive.
  • 00:19:50.869 --> 00:19:53.438
  • And he, and peter, and je-he said, "if you are the
  • 00:19:53.438 --> 00:19:56.942
  • Lord; if, if you are the haah!
  • 00:19:56.942 --> 00:19:59.111
  • The i am..."
  • 00:19:59.111 --> 00:20:00.679
  • And peter just-can you imagine,
  • 00:20:00.679 --> 00:20:02.848
  • He's stepping out of that boat.
  • 00:20:02.848 --> 00:20:04.683
  • I thought about that a long time.
  • 00:20:04.683 --> 00:20:06.251
  • Man, i can see peter
  • 00:20:06.251 --> 00:20:07.686
  • -"if..." and he holds on to the boat side.
  • 00:20:07.686 --> 00:20:10.222
  • He steps out and whooooom!
  • 00:20:10.222 --> 00:20:14.092
  • Steps out, and he, he gets out and say, "lord, ehhhhhh!"
  • 00:20:14.092 --> 00:20:17.195
  • "come! ohhhhhh"
  • 00:20:17.195 --> 00:20:22.434
  • Can't, can't you see him?
  • 00:20:22.434 --> 00:20:24.102
  • And then finally, he looked at jesus...
  • 00:20:24.102 --> 00:20:29.274
  • I thought about paul in philippians.
  • 00:20:29.341 --> 00:20:30.942
  • "i can do all things through christ who strengtheneth me."
  • 00:20:30.942 --> 00:20:34.112
  • And now pete is walking on the water.
  • 00:20:34.112 --> 00:20:37.516
  • He is looking at jesus.
  • 00:20:37.516 --> 00:20:39.284
  • He's on top of that storm.
  • 00:20:39.284 --> 00:20:40.952
  • He's above that storm.
  • 00:20:40.952 --> 00:20:42.587
  • He's looking at jesus, and jesus is with him, and finally, but he
  • 00:20:42.587 --> 00:20:46.425
  • Looks away, and a big wave comes...heh, heh!
  • 00:20:46.425 --> 00:20:50.696
  • And man, he hears the lightening flash, and he looks away from
  • 00:20:50.696 --> 00:20:53.298
  • Jesus, and he begins to sink!
  • 00:20:53.298 --> 00:20:56.501
  • And so we see his tentative faith becomes fearful doubt.
  • 00:20:56.501 --> 00:21:01.540
  • Verse 30: but seeing the wind,
  • 00:21:01.540 --> 00:21:03.208
  • He became frightened and began to sink.
  • 00:21:03.208 --> 00:21:05.777
  • And he cried out...
  • 00:21:05.777 --> 00:21:07.212
  • (and what a great phrase...) "lord, save me!"
  • 00:21:07.212 --> 00:21:11.116
  • See, he got it right.
  • 00:21:11.116 --> 00:21:12.517
  • "lord, if it's you... lord, save me..."
  • 00:21:12.517 --> 00:21:14.920
  • He had the right title, didn't he?
  • 00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:16.922
  • "lord, commander in chief; head ceo; the bottom line, the one in
  • 00:21:16.922 --> 00:21:20.425
  • Charge-lord, master-lord!
  • 00:21:20.425 --> 00:21:22.694
  • Save me!"
  • 00:21:22.694 --> 00:21:25.364
  • Then look at the response of jesus.
  • 00:21:25.364 --> 00:21:29.034
  • Here's the shout, "lord save me!"
  • 00:21:29.034 --> 00:21:31.770
  • And then look at the response: immediately jesus stretched out
  • 00:21:31.770 --> 00:21:35.040
  • His hand and took hold of him and said to him,
  • 00:21:35.040 --> 00:21:38.610
  • "you of little faith; why do you doubt?"
  • 00:21:38.610 --> 00:21:42.514
  • There is that tentative faith; there is their fearful doubt,
  • 00:21:42.514 --> 00:21:47.119
  • And then there's the shout, "lord, save me!"
  • 00:21:47.119 --> 00:21:51.089
  • And he stretched out his hand.
  • 00:21:51.089 --> 00:21:53.358
  • That's what jesus does.
  • 00:21:53.358 --> 00:21:54.693
  • He just stretched out our hand.
  • 00:21:54.693 --> 00:21:56.194
  • He said, " i can reach you.
  • 00:21:56.194 --> 00:21:57.929
  • Stretch out. i can save you.
  • 00:21:57.929 --> 00:21:59.598
  • "lord, save me!"
  • 00:21:59.598 --> 00:22:01.433
  • He stretched out his hand and got a hold of peter,
  • 00:22:01.433 --> 00:22:04.936
  • And then jesus said to him, "oh ye of little faith!
  • 00:22:04.936 --> 00:22:09.341
  • Why do you doubt?"
  • 00:22:09.341 --> 00:22:12.878
  • Faith and doubt.
  • 00:22:12.878 --> 00:22:15.414
  • I was going to show you this on the screen earlier.
  • 00:22:15.414 --> 00:22:17.949
  • I want you to see it now.
  • 00:22:17.949 --> 00:22:19.451
  • What is doubt?
  • 00:22:19.451 --> 00:22:21.686
  • Doubt means two--doubt means two things.
  • 00:22:21.686 --> 00:22:27.459
  • Doubt in the english world would be someone who has a foot
  • 00:22:27.459 --> 00:22:31.863
  • In two different camps.
  • 00:22:31.863 --> 00:22:34.199
  • The chinese talk about doubt and they say it's having one foot in
  • 00:22:34.199 --> 00:22:37.702
  • One boat, one boat, and another foot in another boat.
  • 00:22:37.702 --> 00:22:40.071
  • It is being double minded.
  • 00:22:40.071 --> 00:22:42.040
  • Someone who's doubt has double-minded.
  • 00:22:42.040 --> 00:22:44.276
  • In other words, we have on one side, we have faith and we
  • 00:22:44.276 --> 00:22:47.279
  • Think the doubt is the opposite of faith.
  • 00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:48.814
  • It's not. look at your screen.
  • 00:22:48.814 --> 00:22:50.715
  • Unbelief is the opposite of faith,
  • 00:22:50.715 --> 00:22:53.485
  • And doubt is in the middle.
  • 00:22:53.485 --> 00:22:56.288
  • So in the storms of life when they come, guess what?
  • 00:22:56.288 --> 00:23:02.027
  • Jesus will meet you and me in the middle of those storms.
  • 00:23:02.027 --> 00:23:04.863
  • We respond like peter with doubt, and with faith; you know,
  • 00:23:04.863 --> 00:23:09.067
  • With tentative faith, and then will fearful doubt;
  • 00:23:09.067 --> 00:23:12.971
  • But he comes and meets our needs and takes us onboard.
  • 00:23:12.971 --> 00:23:17.542
  • And then notice in our scripture this beautiful, beautiful little
  • 00:23:17.542 --> 00:23:23.014
  • Word: immediately jesus stretched out his hand,
  • 00:23:23.014 --> 00:23:26.184
  • Took hold of him and said to him, "you of little faith!
  • 00:23:26.184 --> 00:23:29.387
  • Why do you doubt?"
  • 00:23:29.387 --> 00:23:30.989
  • And when they, and when they got into the boat, the wind stopped,
  • 00:23:30.989 --> 00:23:36.595
  • And those who were in the boat worshipped him saying,
  • 00:23:36.595 --> 00:23:40.365
  • "you are certainly god's son!"
  • 00:23:40.365 --> 00:23:45.904
  • Jesus helped pete in the boat.
  • 00:23:45.904 --> 00:23:49.441
  • When jesus got in the boat, the wind stopped.
  • 00:23:49.441 --> 00:23:54.846
  • There'll be storms in life.
  • 00:23:54.846 --> 00:23:56.948
  • Jesus will meet you and me in the middle of those storms, and
  • 00:23:56.948 --> 00:24:00.919
  • When he gets in your boat, the storm stops.
  • 00:24:00.919 --> 00:24:05.490
  • When jesus gets in your boat, the storms stops.
  • 00:24:05.490 --> 00:24:10.495
  • And then what did they do?
  • 00:24:10.495 --> 00:24:12.764
  • They worshipped him!
  • 00:24:12.764 --> 00:24:14.266
  • This is the first time we have a record of
  • 00:24:14.266 --> 00:24:16.568
  • The apostles worshipping jesus.
  • 00:24:16.568 --> 00:24:19.004
  • Remember in chapter 8?
  • 00:24:19.004 --> 00:24:21.540
  • Jesus was asleep.
  • 00:24:21.540 --> 00:24:22.874
  • Storm came. they were afraid.
  • 00:24:22.874 --> 00:24:24.543
  • Jesus spoke to the storm,
  • 00:24:24.543 --> 00:24:26.244
  • The wind and the waves and it stopped.
  • 00:24:26.244 --> 00:24:28.146
  • How did they respond to that?
  • 00:24:28.146 --> 00:24:30.015
  • They said, "what kind of man is this?"
  • 00:24:30.015 --> 00:24:33.285
  • But now, when he walked on the water and he got in the boat and
  • 00:24:33.285 --> 00:24:37.255
  • The storm stopped, they said, "this is the son of god!"
  • 00:24:37.255 --> 00:24:41.226
  • It's the first time they worshipped him.
  • 00:24:41.226 --> 00:24:44.296
  • Had jesus been worshipped before?
  • 00:24:44.296 --> 00:24:45.931
  • Yes, the magi worshipped him.
  • 00:24:45.931 --> 00:24:48.133
  • The leper who was healed worshipped him.
  • 00:24:48.133 --> 00:24:50.135
  • An elder in the synagogue worshipped him.
  • 00:24:50.135 --> 00:24:52.037
  • This is the first worship that the apostles gave.
  • 00:24:52.037 --> 00:24:55.173
  • They began to get who he is.
  • 00:24:55.173 --> 00:24:57.275
  • That's what needs to happen to you and me.
  • 00:24:57.275 --> 00:24:59.444
  • We begin to get who jesus is.
  • 00:24:59.444 --> 00:25:02.547
  • In the storms of life, he comes to us, and when he comes to us
  • 00:25:02.547 --> 00:25:06.351
  • And we say, "come on in this boat with me!"
  • 00:25:06.351 --> 00:25:08.286
  • The storm ceases!
  • 00:25:08.286 --> 00:25:10.522
  • We understand the great haah; the great i am has come.
  • 00:25:10.522 --> 00:25:17.028
