00:04:01.000 |
All right, sorry, we'll try that one more time. 00:04:31.000 |
Who would have thought that a lamb could rescue the souls of men? 00:04:59.000 |
You offer hope when our hearts hopelessly lost the way. 00:07:20.000 |
I think some of you guys are here because it's Father's Day. 00:07:23.000 |
Our children and the moms have prepared some snacks for you, 00:07:28.000 |
and they wanted me to tell you the variety that you have 00:07:32.000 |
is beef jerky, chocolate, homemade cookies, chips, candy. 00:07:38.000 |
So basically, it's going to be out there at the table. 00:07:42.000 |
And they said that you can get whatever you want, 00:07:46.000 |
Okay, so don't grab more than three, they said. 00:07:49.000 |
And then the drinks, you have non-dairy milk tea 00:07:55.000 |
Or if you're health conscious, there's jasmine tea. 00:07:59.000 |
So after the service, just go visit one of the tables, 00:08:04.000 |
Just make sure you can grab that bag and take it with you. 00:08:10.000 |
Newcomer's Welcome Lunch is happening on June 30th. 00:08:13.000 |
So if you are new to the church and you want to find out 00:08:16.000 |
what the church is about or meet some of the people 00:08:19.000 |
who are serving at our church, that's happening on June 30th 00:08:26.000 |
So across the courtyard, entrance into that at 1 p.m., 00:08:29.000 |
there's going to be lunch provided and basically 00:08:32.000 |
a light presentation about what's going on at church. 00:08:38.000 |
Gospel Presentation Q&A Night on Heaven and Hell 00:08:42.000 |
is being held on Wednesday on July 10th at 7 p.m. to 8.30 p.m. 00:08:48.000 |
So it's going to be led by our outreach team. 00:08:54.000 |
And the Q&A is going to happen, and the people who are going to be 00:09:02.000 |
He's going to be here, and then Elder James Hong 00:09:04.000 |
is also going to be there to answer any kind of questions that you have on that. 00:09:07.000 |
So our outreach team is hosting that on that one night on July 10th. 00:09:14.000 |
meaning people who are interested in the gospel and have a lot of questions, 00:09:17.000 |
there's going to be a small group that's going to be taking place 00:09:20.000 |
July 24th to August 14th from 7 p.m. to 8.30 p.m. 00:09:23.000 |
So it's on Wednesday nights, I think two or three Wednesdays. 00:09:28.000 |
So if you have a friend or family who may benefit from having this, 00:09:32.000 |
you can contact them, and they'll give you the information for that. 00:09:45.000 |
The hotel has given us a number that we can't go beyond. 00:09:48.000 |
So early registration, obviously, was finished. 00:09:50.000 |
But if you are planning to go, please sign up for that, 00:10:00.000 |
our Korea team is headed out to Korea for some of our missions tonight. 00:10:05.000 |
We'll be leaving tonight, and we'll be coming back on July 3rd. 00:10:08.000 |
And so our team, after our worship time, is going to come up and give a presentation. 00:10:13.000 |
So you can know who they are, see their faces, 00:10:16.000 |
and they're going to be doing a body worship presentation. 00:10:19.000 |
And we want you guys to take some time to pray for them as we go. 00:10:27.000 |
If you have a physical offering, we have an offering box in the back 00:10:32.000 |
And then after our worship time, our brother Angelo is going to come, 00:10:40.000 |
Father, we thank you for all that you are doing and continue to do in our lives. 00:10:46.000 |
We pray, Father God, that you would help us to keep our mind and heart 00:10:49.000 |
fully engaged in you, that our worship will be a pleasing sacrifice. 00:10:55.000 |
We pray that our giving may be multiplied for the sake of your kingdom. 00:11:00.000 |
May this busy weekend be filled with your grace and reminders, Lord God, 00:11:06.000 |
Bless this time and bless this worship, Lord God, for the sake of your name. 00:11:51.000 |
Let us all rise and let us spend a few moments to greet the neighbors 00:12:19.000 |
Our next song is "Here is Love," and this morning we'll be singing it 00:12:22.000 |
slightly differently where we will just be singing through the five verses 00:12:28.000 |
And so I hope and pray that we may be encouraged as we sing through 00:32:45.000 |
>> All right, so that's our CREA mission team. 00:32:52.000 |
We're going to be headed out tonight, and then we'll be back on July 3rd. 00:32:56.000 |
And I'm going to be swinging by to India on the way back, 00:33:02.000 |
But we're working with two churches that are out in CREA. 00:33:05.000 |
We're going to be running English camps, and then hopefully through that, 00:33:08.000 |
we'll be able to share the gospel and strengthen the church that is there. 00:33:12.000 |
If you can just, again, continue to keep us in your prayer. 00:33:15.000 |
If you can turn your Bibles with me to Matthew 28, verse 16 to 20. 00:33:30.000 |
"But the eleven disciples proceeded to Galilee, 00:33:35.000 |
When they saw him, they worshiped him, but some were doubtful. 00:33:41.000 |
'All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. 00:33:44.000 |
Go, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, 00:33:47.000 |
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit, 00:33:50.000 |
teaching them to observe all that I commanded you, 00:33:52.000 |
and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.'" 00:34:01.000 |
We thank you for all the things that you are doing behind the scene. 00:34:05.000 |
We pray that you would bless the time that we have, 00:34:10.000 |
and that our hearts and our lives will be surrendered to you. 00:34:17.000 |
Again, today, as I was preparing for the sermon, I had to kind of wrestle with, 00:34:21.000 |
am I going to preach on the Father's Day today, 00:34:24.000 |
or this is graduation weekend, so we have a lot of friends who are in town 00:34:32.000 |
And it's also our send-off service because our Korea team is going out to missions, 00:34:36.000 |
and so I was kind of wrestling with what should I focus on, 00:34:39.000 |
and so my conclusion was I'm going to focus on all of it. 00:34:45.000 |
and I believe that the Great Commission has application for the fathers, 00:34:50.000 |
the graduates, and the people who are going out as well. 00:34:54.000 |
If you think of leadership, there is a clear contrast that the Bible teaches us 00:35:01.000 |
Saul was established because Israel wanted a king just like the other nations, 00:35:05.000 |
and they were going through all these cycles of problems, 00:35:08.000 |
and they concluded falsely that maybe the reason why they were having this problem 00:35:15.000 |
So they banded a king, and they established this king, King Saul, 00:35:19.000 |
and then eventually he ends up getting rejected 00:35:22.000 |
because of certain actions that he was taking. 00:35:25.000 |
And so the contrast that is made between why Saul is rejected 00:35:30.000 |
and why David is established is written in 1 Samuel 16:7. 00:35:33.000 |
It says, "But the Lord said to Samuel, 'Do not look at his appearance 00:35:37.000 |
or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. 00:35:41.000 |
For God sees not as man sees, but man looks at the outward appearance, 00:35:51.000 |
at least it spells out for us, between why Saul is rejected and why David is received 00:35:56.000 |
is Saul was a man who was after his own heart. 00:36:00.000 |
He used that opportunity, his authority, his power, his money 00:36:06.000 |
So every opportunity he got, he used his position to advance himself. 00:36:12.000 |
And then he says of David, the reason why David was selected 00:36:17.000 |
And so that was a distinction between a good leader and a bad leader, 00:36:23.000 |
And the reason why this is so important, if you do not know the heart of God, 00:36:34.000 |
you study the Bible just because you're supposed to, you're a Christian. 00:36:37.000 |
If you don't understand the heart of God, why God is so concerned about the laws. 00:36:43.000 |
As today is Father's Day, one of the benefits of having older children now 00:36:55.000 |
Before it was just, I owe you, I'll give you a massage. 00:36:59.000 |
And so those are usually the gifts, or they have a paper necktie that they would make. 00:37:03.000 |
And so all are cute, but now they're actually getting me gifts. 00:37:10.000 |
and they bought me an annual pass to Disneyland. 00:37:14.000 |
Some of you guys already know what I'm talking about. 00:37:20.000 |
And so I know some of you guys enjoy it, but that annual pass is a lot of money. 00:37:25.000 |
So imagine if they pulled all their money, emptied their bank account, 00:37:31.000 |
My, obviously, response would be, "Why do you hate me? 00:37:40.000 |
So you can pour all your energy and effort and pull your money 00:37:44.000 |
into getting something and working towards something, 00:37:47.000 |
but if you don't know the heart of God, you're going to miss the whole point. 00:37:50.000 |
And in the same way, people who don't understand the heart of God 00:37:54.000 |
can labor, sacrifice, give, and do all of that, 00:37:58.000 |
and you completely miss the whole point if you don't understand the heart of God. 00:38:02.000 |
And that's the distinction between Saul and David. 00:38:05.000 |
Saul was a man who was seeking to do what he thought was right, 00:38:09.000 |
but David was constantly concerned about God's heart. 00:38:17.000 |
In Matthew 28, 16-20, we call this the Great Commission. 00:38:22.000 |
And this Great Commission is something that Jesus said to his disciples 00:38:25.000 |
from the beginning, "Follow me, and I will make you disciples of men." 00:38:33.000 |
All throughout his training was to prepare them for this Great Commission. 00:38:41.000 |
it doesn't begin with Jesus calling his disciples. 00:38:44.000 |
The whole reason why Jesus even showed up and was humiliated, 00:38:48.000 |
living and taking on human form, was for this purpose, 00:38:54.000 |
He said, "Son of man, do not come to be served, but to serve, 00:39:00.000 |
It goes even beyond that, where from the very get-go, the fall of man, 00:39:04.000 |
there was a promise that God made that the seed of the woman was going to come 00:39:10.000 |
And so all of Old Testament history is God fulfilling the promise 00:39:19.000 |
If you read the Scriptures without understanding this, 00:39:21.000 |
Scripture's not going to make a lot of sense. 00:39:27.000 |
and you disconnect it from God pursuing sinners, 00:39:30.000 |
you're not going to understand why these things are so important. 00:39:38.000 |
if you study it without understanding it and applying it, 00:39:42.000 |
You're going to get an annual Disney pass for God. 00:39:46.000 |
You worked hard, you labored, but it's like, "You just don't know me." 00:39:52.000 |
This morning, I want to look at four aspects of the Great Commission 00:39:58.000 |
First of all, to understand the Great Commission, the heart of God, 00:40:02.000 |
you need to understand the context in which Jesus says this. 00:40:04.000 |
In Matthew 28, verse 17, something very strange happens. 00:40:09.000 |
You need to understand this to understand what's happening in the Great Commission. 00:40:13.000 |
Jesus, after the resurrection, told his disciples to meet him in Galilee 00:40:21.000 |
They're going back home, and remember the scene where Jesus sees his disciples. 00:40:25.000 |
They went back to their old job, they're fishing. 00:40:28.000 |
Jesus calls them, restores Peter back, "Do you love me?" 00:40:32.000 |
He restores him back, and he tells them, "Then go feed my sheep." 00:40:36.000 |
Now he's restored them, he's preparing them for ministry, 00:40:42.000 |
"But the eleven disciples proceeded to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus has designated. 00:40:47.000 |
When they saw him, they worshipped him, but some were doubtful." 00:41:01.000 |
It just tells us that they just worshipped him. 00:41:04.000 |
For them to worship him and yet doubt if he was the Son of God, 00:41:12.000 |
and worshipped Jesus if they had any doubt of who he was. 00:41:15.000 |
In fact, if you remember, Thomas is the first one, 00:41:18.000 |
after meeting Jesus and making sure that the scars were real, 00:41:22.000 |
he's the first one who kneels down and said, "My Lord and my God." 00:41:27.000 |
So it can't be that they were questioning who he was, 00:41:33.000 |
In fact, if you read the word that's translated for doubt, 00:41:39.000 |
this is what it says in the Greek dictionary. 00:41:42.000 |
Matthew 28.17 said, "The verb translated 'some doubted' 00:41:45.000 |
should rather be translated 'they hesitated.' 00:41:48.000 |
This refers not to the doubt of the disciples 00:41:55.000 |
However, they hesitated in regard to their responsibility 00:42:06.000 |
So this was not a doubt about Jesus' identity, 00:42:15.000 |
They're hesitating, because they just failed miserably. 00:42:20.000 |
They were so confident. Peter was so confident. 00:42:23.000 |
He said, "They may all fail you, but I will not." 00:42:25.000 |
And he took up the sword, and he was going to battle. 00:42:35.000 |
After failing their final test, now Jesus says, 00:42:42.000 |
So one, they were hesitant because of their own ability. 00:42:50.000 |
I mean, you say one of us already betrayed him, 00:42:54.000 |
but how many of the 11 of us are going to last? 00:43:00.000 |
and Jesus is going to send them back to the epicenter, 00:43:21.000 |
So the hesitation wasn't about who Jesus was, 00:43:27.000 |
Are we the right person? Are we going to fail again? 00:43:35.000 |
who's to say this isn't going to happen again? 00:43:37.000 |
So you can see the context of the Great Commission 00:43:42.000 |
giving the assurance of the Great Commission. 00:43:55.000 |
He said, "I'm not sending you because you've been trained. 00:44:00.000 |
I'm not sending you because now you have experience 00:44:06.000 |
He says, "No, I'm sending you with my authority, 00:44:23.000 |
It's not in your training. It's not in your experience. 00:44:25.000 |
It's not because you were doing certain things 00:44:38.000 |
You don't have the power. You don't have the ability. 00:44:45.000 |
He says, "When the Holy Spirit comes upon you, 00:44:54.000 |
Because they were afraid if I go to Jerusalem, 00:44:57.000 |
He said, "Not only are you going to succeed in Jerusalem, 00:45:00.000 |
you're going to take the gospel to the next place in Judea. 00:45:05.000 |
where people hate the Jews, you're going to go there. 00:45:11.000 |
You will be successful because I will ordain it." 00:45:31.000 |
You see in Acts 4.13, when Peter preaches his first gospel, 00:45:35.000 |
in front of the very people who crucified Christ, 00:45:41.000 |
and he stands boldly and preaches the gospel, 00:45:48.000 |
I bet, humanly speaking, he was expecting to be crucified. 00:45:55.000 |
He said, "Now as they observed the confidence," 00:46:01.000 |
and understood that they were uneducated and untrained men, 00:46:13.000 |
How did these fishermen, how did these uneducated men, 00:46:25.000 |
And the only explanation that they can come up with is, 00:46:28.000 |
"That sounds and looks just like the Jesus that we crucified." 00:46:33.000 |
Their authority and their power must be coming from Christ. 00:46:40.000 |
that their power and authority came from Jesus Christ, 00:46:51.000 |
So the only thing that you and I need to be worried about 00:47:00.000 |
Isn't that what Jesus says in John chapter 15? 00:47:05.000 |
"don't get training, memorize a lot of Scripture, 00:47:18.000 |
Stick with me, stay with me, be devoted to me. 00:47:25.000 |
Sometimes abiding in Christ simply means not to quit. 00:47:39.000 |
to recognize our weakness, and just to persevere. 00:47:48.000 |
The authority and the power of preaching the gospel 00:47:51.000 |
isn't because I lived a great life for the last three weeks, 00:47:54.000 |
so now I'm equipped and I can do great things for God. 00:48:03.000 |
and this is what the authority that he has given 00:48:10.000 |
The power of the Great Commission is with Christ. 00:48:13.000 |
Third, the goal of the Great Commission is clear. 00:48:19.000 |
Again, if you've been at church any period of time, 00:48:21.000 |
you've probably heard so many messages on this topic, 00:48:25.000 |
and the only imperative in the Great Commission, 00:48:47.000 |
who reject Christ and they never followed him, 00:48:53.000 |
But when we use the word disciple, there's three groups. 00:48:58.000 |
We don't have apostles today, and we don't choose apostles. 00:49:10.000 |
where when Jesus was feeding the 5,000 in John 6, 00:49:17.000 |
But it also says in that text, when Jesus says, 00:49:19.000 |
"I am the bread of life," he said it was hard 00:49:26.000 |
They're called disciples, but only temporarily. 00:49:33.000 |
He's not talking about just gathering people. 00:49:40.000 |
So our goal of church is to get unchurched people 00:49:45.000 |
That is not the goal of the Great Commission. 00:49:47.000 |
The Great Commission is to call people to himself, 00:49:57.000 |
somebody who didn't read the Bible, read the Bible, 00:50:08.000 |
You know, today we call ourselves Christians, 00:50:16.000 |
That was the name that they chose for themselves 00:50:20.000 |
It was first used at the Church of Antioch, "The Way." 00:50:50.000 |
And so the very term "Christian" means "Little Christ." 00:50:54.000 |
And that's what making disciples ultimately is. 00:51:03.000 |
doesn't act like a Christian, talk like a Christian, 00:51:23.000 |
and you've participated in many send-off services, 00:51:27.000 |
But what may be new to you is behind the scenes. 00:51:31.000 |
And I told you last week how Greek is a very precise language. 00:51:50.000 |
but this is very helpful to understand, okay? 00:52:01.000 |
So if you've taken Latin or you've taken Greek, 00:52:16.000 |
and there's a bunch of different kind of tenses under that, 00:52:21.000 |
The aorist tense is the most simple of the past tense. 00:52:27.000 |
because this is an imperative to go make disciples, 00:52:33.000 |
And then the Greek has what's called the voice. 00:52:58.000 |
You just sat there and you received the action. 00:53:02.000 |
The middle voice is I let myself be punched, right? 00:53:32.000 |
It is in the aorist, past tense, passive voice. 00:54:38.000 |
you are reproducing probably nominal Christians. 00:55:10.000 |
And so the word go is also in the past passive. 00:55:16.000 |
To be sent, meaning you've been already sent. 00:55:28.000 |
but this text is telling us this is who you already are. 00:55:39.000 |
that you are aliens and strangers in this world. 00:56:04.000 |
Or you're not going and you have to change it. 00:56:10.000 |
Before you were a citizen of the United States 00:56:12.000 |
or before you were a citizen of any other country, 00:56:14.000 |
it says you have become a citizen of the kingdom of God. 00:56:19.000 |
You're not in the process of being naturalized. 00:56:24.000 |
So the very fact that you are a follower of Christ 00:56:36.000 |
You may not pack up your bags and get on a boat 00:56:53.000 |
we're not just sending them off so that they can go 00:56:59.000 |
Whatever it is that you are doing, you've been sent. 00:57:02.000 |
Whoever you've been around, you've been sent. 00:57:04.000 |
Whatever family you belong to, you've been sent 00:57:20.000 |
or you can just say, "You know what? Forget that." 00:57:26.000 |
who doesn't live according to the heart of God 00:57:41.000 |
You know where that shows more than any other place? 00:57:49.000 |
I'm a Lakers fan, so Lakers are not in the final. 00:58:02.000 |
If you ask me, "Hey, have you been watching?" 00:58:06.000 |
It's like, "Oh, did you see what Luka Dantic did?" 00:58:17.000 |
If you ask me, "Did you watch the latest hockey game?" 00:58:37.000 |
But it's very difficult to have a conversation 00:58:50.000 |
that the heartbeat of our God is pursuing sinners 00:59:00.000 |
When the Bible says, "If you abide in me, my words abide in you." 00:59:07.000 |
But because you don't understand the heart of God, 00:59:09.000 |
you come and you talk about Disneyland, hockey, 00:59:35.000 |
And all of a sudden, you'll see prayer opening up. 00:59:43.000 |
You'll see all of a sudden confidence in prayer. 00:59:48.000 |
And you realize that you've tapped into the heart of God 01:00:06.000 |
All of it for the purpose of being a greater light. 01:00:11.000 |
Like, why? I don't see any consequence in that. 01:00:37.000 |
But to baptize and to teach is in the present active voice. 01:00:42.000 |
And active meaning that we're doing the action. 01:01:01.000 |
In the early church, they took it very seriously, right? 01:01:09.000 |
in an unworthy manner, they actually got sick or died. 01:01:25.000 |
it's to preach the gospel and convert somebody 01:01:28.000 |
who's headed one way and bring them to Christ. 01:01:33.000 |
As somebody who is engrossed in another way of life, 01:01:44.000 |
Not to simply change where they are on Sunday, right? 01:02:50.000 |
"and feed the poor and take care of the orphans, 01:02:52.000 |
"and by doing so, I'm going to shine the light." 01:02:57.000 |
The problem with that is the Buddhists do the same thing. 01:03:05.000 |
And so if all you are doing is shining the light 01:03:35.000 |
if you don't go and you don't make it clear to them 01:03:43.000 |
"Teach them to observe all that I have commanded you. 01:03:52.000 |
"some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers 01:03:54.000 |
"for equipping of the saints for the work of service." 01:03:59.000 |
So teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you, 01:04:02.000 |
meaning that you are being equipped for what purpose? 01:04:13.000 |
is not I got more Bible knowledge than I did before, 01:04:33.000 |
So if your maturity only leads to your benefit, 01:04:55.000 |
Until we all attain what? Unity of what? Faith. 01:05:08.000 |
When we were 30, 40 people, we're meeting at our house, 01:05:26.000 |
But as the church grows, it becomes more and more diverse. 01:05:29.000 |
Different age brackets, different socioeconomic background, 01:05:48.000 |
The Bible never says to unite for those things. 01:05:51.000 |
The unity in the church, as we mature in our faith, 01:05:59.000 |
whatever unity that you feel like you're experiencing 01:07:09.000 |
but they're never passionately pursuing Christ. 01:07:19.000 |
Whatever passion, that's what young people do. 01:07:31.000 |
"is so that we may attain the fullness of Christ." 01:09:46.000 |
And so they want to run as far as they can from you, 01:10:51.000 |
The greatest gift that my children can give me, 01:11:03.000 |
and finances go to taking care of my own kids. 01:11:10.000 |
So the best gift that you can give me, right, 01:11:31.000 |
Yes, especially the ones that are harder to love. 01:11:53.000 |
You're a jerk, so I'm going to be a jerk to you. 01:12:26.000 |
and then Jesus is like, "Let me go with you." 01:12:34.000 |
"You know, what do I want to do with my life? 01:12:59.000 |
and that's why he said, "If you want to follow me," 01:13:11.000 |
And when you experience the fellowship of God, 01:14:18.000 |
like, "What does it mean to be a good father?" 01:14:22.000 |
But whether you've been a father for 40 years 01:14:38.000 |
There are certain things that I wish I did different 01:14:46.000 |
I don't regret anything that I've done at church. 01:14:50.000 |
Not to say that I wouldn't do anything different 01:14:56.000 |
but at that time, whatever decision was made, 01:15:08.000 |
I would have been probably a lot more patient 01:15:35.000 |
Just like you do your best and you don't get an A, right? 01:15:38.000 |
Some of you worked hard and you didn't get an A. 01:15:41.000 |
And so every father that I know is working hard, 01:15:52.000 |
These are training, how do you discipline the kids 01:15:54.000 |
to providing and when to push and when to back off, 01:15:57.000 |
all of these things we're going to continue to struggle with. 01:15:59.000 |
But it says one thing, only one thing is required. 01:16:16.000 |
In the midst of a storm, in the midst of chaos, 01:16:19.000 |
in the midst of regret, God will be with you. 01:16:26.000 |
and some of you know exactly what you're going to do. 01:16:29.000 |
Some of you are wondering what's the next stage in life. 01:16:35.000 |
Some of you are just going to wander for a while, right? 01:16:50.000 |
And if you labor to make this place your home, 01:17:08.000 |
overly worry about what the next stage in life is, 01:17:25.000 |
And then finally, the mission team that is going. 01:17:34.000 |
"Finally, brethren, pray for us that the word of the Lord 01:17:43.000 |
I know most of you who are Christians will agree with me 01:17:49.000 |
But what we struggle with is the sense of urgency. 01:17:53.000 |
We all live like we're going to be here forever, right? 01:18:19.000 |
Maybe when I'm better, maybe when I have a job, 01:18:23.000 |
But I pray that God will stir in us a sense of urgency 01:18:28.000 |
"Conduct yourself in wisdom toward the outside, 01:18:33.000 |
You'd be surprised the kind of opportunities around you here. 01:18:58.000 |
The good thing is they're not closed to the gospel 01:19:05.000 |
And so there is an openness toward the things of God 01:19:16.000 |
An opportunity is there for us when we go to Korea 01:19:22.000 |
Most people who fell out of the church in Korea, 01:19:26.000 |
They say they don't like the Christianity in Korea 01:19:56.000 |
But that's the prejudice that they have to work through. 01:20:13.000 |
that you would pray that we would be able to bear fruit, 01:20:15.000 |
even though it's a short period of time there, 01:20:19.000 |
that we would make the most of every opportunity, 01:20:40.000 |
We'll be gone today and then be back on July 3rd 01:20:44.000 |
they would have great testimonies to share with us. 01:20:48.000 |
Father, we thank you for your love and grace. 01:20:58.000 |
as you have made us aliens and strangers in this world, 01:22:59.000 |
Who, O Lord, has made our world a great divine place? 01:25:37.000 |
that we may be the aroma of Christ wherever you send us. 01:26:16.000 |
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives. 01:27:00.000 |
And life is worth the living just because he lives. 01:27:20.000 |
All the power, all the glory, I will trust in his name.
