00:02:50.100 |
But then, what would happen if you did low harmony? 00:10:05.540 |
Every week, we have this tremendous and wonderful privilege 00:10:09.940 |
to be able to gather before a holy, holy God for worship, 00:10:17.100 |
and we come not because of what we have done, 00:10:20.460 |
but it's only because of what Christ has done for us 00:10:31.540 |
and with much joy to come and honor and to sing to him. 00:10:36.220 |
we're gonna sing together the hymn "Holy, Holy, Holy." 00:15:11.740 |
so some of you guys moved to First Service as a result. 00:15:22.580 |
there's another building right like to the right of it, 00:15:34.420 |
So there'll be attendants there to tell you where to go, 00:15:42.340 |
so if you notice a big van coming and pulling up, 00:15:52.180 |
you'll know that there's another white Mercedes Sprinter 00:16:02.580 |
College ministry, at 1 p.m. after the third service, 00:16:07.580 |
there's gonna be a college ministry welcome lunch 00:16:19.140 |
If you are participating, if you're a college student, 00:16:25.020 |
just stay there, make sure that they're all done, 00:16:37.900 |
and you wanna know what this church is about, 00:16:52.260 |
So it's only gonna be happening second, third, 00:16:55.300 |
And it's gonna be a fundraiser that they're having 00:16:57.500 |
for their youth retreat that's coming up next year. 00:17:14.220 |
or you're being announced as a new member of the church, 00:17:25.700 |
So service fair is all the different service teams 00:17:30.840 |
So you can go visit just for information for some, 00:17:34.780 |
and then there's some service teams that needs help. 00:17:41.860 |
And that's happening next week after the members meeting. 00:18:02.100 |
which is our replacement for Halloween at our church, 00:18:09.720 |
If you are planning to bring a child or a child's friend, 00:18:14.700 |
because we have limited space in our parking area. 00:18:20.380 |
there'll be a table there that you can sign up for. 00:18:41.180 |
Okay, so they're gonna be divided into home groups 00:18:48.260 |
You do not need to be a member to participate in this. 00:19:03.180 |
I'll give you a minute to give your offering, 00:19:04.740 |
and then if you, again, brought a physical offering, 00:19:10.360 |
Father, we thank you so much for your goodness, 00:19:27.000 |
that you would ready our hearts through worship, 00:19:33.480 |
that it may all be an expression of gratitude toward you 00:21:02.580 |

- If you can turn your Bibles with me to Luke chapter nine, 00:28:26.740 |
But 27 we'll be covering with the next section. 00:28:44.700 |
when he comes in his glory, in the glory of the Father 00:28:49.980 |
there are some of those who are standing here 00:28:52.500 |
who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God. 00:29:06.500 |
that we may worship you in spirit and in truth. 00:29:26.460 |
And this is the calling of Ezekiel as the watchman 00:29:31.340 |
and what responsibility has been given to all watchmen. 00:29:36.340 |
It says, "And the word of the Lord came to me saying, 00:29:39.340 |
"Son of man, speak to the sons of your people 00:29:41.140 |
"and say to them, if I bring a sword upon a land 00:29:43.360 |
"and the people of the land take one man from among them 00:29:50.260 |
"and blows on the trumpet and warns the people. 00:29:56.600 |
"and takes him away, his blood will be on his own head. 00:30:00.300 |
"Hear the sound of the trumpet but did not take warning, 00:30:05.300 |
"But had he taken warning, he would have delivered his life. 00:30:10.180 |
"and does not blow the trumpet and the people are not warned 00:30:13.060 |
"and a sword comes and takes away the person from them, 00:30:18.000 |
"but his blood I will require from the watchman's hand." 00:30:21.300 |
This is a very sobering text as God calls Ezekiel 00:30:27.420 |
and the watchman for the nation of Israel saying, 00:30:35.700 |
"and they refuse to turn, then you've done your job 00:30:48.560 |
he says, "you will be judged for not speaking up 00:31:21.820 |
And if that's the only message that people know, 00:31:29.340 |
come to church, receive the blessing of Jesus, 00:31:39.540 |
And all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God 00:31:43.100 |
and as a result of that, the judgment of God is waiting. 00:32:03.460 |
You cannot tell somebody that I have this fantastic news 00:32:12.060 |
or I don't think you believe that you have the good news. 00:32:15.520 |
But you can't tell people that I believe the good news, 00:32:22.660 |
The very nature, the very nature of the gospel 00:32:30.660 |
that we proclaim it, that we tell people about it. 00:32:37.180 |
that if you want to follow after me to deny yourself, 00:32:45.260 |
that your Christian life is going to be difficult, 00:32:48.100 |
that after I leave, I'm not going to be able to feed you, 00:32:55.240 |
you're going to have a hard time paying your bills, 00:32:57.620 |
and so therefore, you need to learn to deny yourself. 00:33:01.600 |
The reason why he told them to prepare themselves 00:33:07.280 |
and to deny themselves and pick up their cross 00:33:09.340 |
is because what he was going to commission them to do. 00:33:17.260 |
and they lived their life and did what Jesus did, 00:33:27.920 |
maybe once a year, they had a feeding of the 5,000. 00:33:33.320 |
and there's hardship and people are afraid to die, 00:33:44.320 |
If they functioned, they just did what Jesus did, 00:33:51.100 |
they would have had a very easy, comfortable, posh life. 00:33:54.320 |
But it's because what Jesus was calling them to say, 00:34:03.820 |
is not going to end in glory, not immediately. 00:34:09.900 |
As I went to the cross, you will also go to the cross. 00:34:32.560 |
"in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels." 00:34:37.300 |
You and I could live a very posh, comfortable life 00:34:43.980 |
We keep hearing, especially in our generation, 00:34:58.200 |
not simply to yourselves, not simply comfort yourself, 00:35:03.800 |
I'm loved unconditionally, that it's not by my words. 00:35:23.720 |
that I'm good, I'm good, because Jesus loves me, 00:35:31.560 |
but part of the reason why we are in the condition 00:35:35.600 |
that we are and why we need to keep reminding ourselves 00:35:38.960 |
of the gospel is because we're not preaching to others. 00:35:49.200 |
and I want to preach, so the gospel is proclaimed. 00:35:52.320 |
So I can never, I can never forget the gospel, 00:36:04.160 |
why we keep hearing we need to preach the gospel 00:36:06.080 |
to ourselves is because we're not preaching it 00:36:07.980 |
to other people, we're not telling other people. 00:36:11.680 |
Best way to learn something is not simply for you to learn, 00:36:24.120 |
The people who benefit most from the 10 covenant 00:36:40.200 |
and if you don't prepare yourself also to go to the cross, 00:36:50.000 |
"Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. 00:36:53.700 |
"So be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves, 00:36:56.360 |
"but beware of men, for they will hand you over to courts 00:37:02.080 |
Jesus told his disciples that you keep coming, 00:37:04.720 |
I'm going to say some things that's going to disturb them, 00:37:10.880 |
but because you were a follower of Jesus Christ, 00:37:13.040 |
he said they're going to hate you, they're going to scourge you. 00:37:16.200 |
He doesn't say that if you make the wrong decision, 00:37:18.120 |
if you go to the wrong place where you shouldn't go. 00:37:23.520 |
You didn't say it in a way that's acceptable. 00:37:29.000 |
what I'm going to tell you to say because of me, 00:37:47.120 |
No, he said, because of me, you will be scourged. 00:38:02.160 |
"Because of my words, it's going to divide families." 00:38:17.120 |
He said, you will be hated by all because of my name. 00:38:32.560 |
If the master is hated because of his speech, 00:38:45.160 |
If the master preaches this, and we are his servants, 00:38:58.920 |
How kind we are, how nice we are, how generous we are. 00:39:15.960 |
"if I am your master, and if you are a good servant, 00:39:39.720 |
Fawn a lot, go help the people who are hurting. 00:39:58.040 |
But if you do what I do, if you say what I say, 00:40:03.320 |
he says, "They will hate you as they hated me." 00:40:14.600 |
who died for us and loves us unconditionally, 00:40:24.040 |
No, it is not that Jesus that we're talking about. 00:40:31.080 |
that if they don't repent, judgment is coming upon them. 00:40:36.240 |
It's that Jesus that they would be afraid to be ashamed of. 00:40:49.920 |
We're so concerned about what other people will think of us, 00:40:54.360 |
whether it is a close friend, a family member, 00:41:10.200 |
well, we're concerned about what other people will think. 00:41:15.280 |
"Am I now seeking the favor of men or of God? 00:41:25.080 |
If what you say and don't say is dictated by fear 00:41:34.160 |
and he says, "Then you're no longer a servant of God. 00:41:36.380 |
"You're a servant of man because your decisions 00:41:44.840 |
Not just the fear of man, but the love of this world, 00:41:51.000 |
If love of this world is what characterize who we are, 00:41:59.520 |
Because what Jesus says breaks into the darkness. 00:42:10.760 |
He's not simply saying, "Make sure your Sundays 00:42:30.860 |
tells the sinners to turn, to turn from their whole life. 00:42:35.760 |
In James 4:4, it says, "You adulterous do not know 00:42:40.460 |
"that friendship with the world is hostility toward God." 00:42:49.840 |
"Therefore, whoever wishes to be a friend of the world 00:43:16.440 |
and desire and covet the things of this world 00:43:25.800 |
"having loved this present world, has deserted me." 00:43:32.920 |
a handpicked apostle from Christ, Apostle Paul. 00:43:39.880 |
This is a man that Jesus single-handedly chose 00:43:55.840 |
It wasn't because he had a wrong view of Jesus. 00:43:57.580 |
He just said simply 'cause he loved the world. 00:43:59.880 |
And if you look at 2,000 years of Christianity 00:44:04.160 |
and people who have fallen away from their faith, 00:44:09.500 |
and how this and that happened and this happened in life, 00:44:15.380 |
the end conclusion was they loved the world more than God. 00:44:27.040 |
what we do and don't do, it's just a matter of time 00:44:30.620 |
that this shame for Christ is gonna get to us. 00:44:35.360 |
I remember years ago when I was a youth pastor, 00:44:40.360 |
I remember being convicted about this and said, 00:44:43.240 |
how can I get my youth group to stand up for Christ? 00:44:48.720 |
Said, I'm gonna take my youth group street preaching. 00:44:52.200 |
And then so I took them out to street preaching. 00:44:54.100 |
I said, where can I go to take them street preaching 00:44:56.340 |
where they're gonna require some prayer and boldness? 00:45:16.980 |
And I don't remember, I think Elder Joe was also there, 00:45:19.580 |
and he was preaching, so he stood in the corner 00:45:32.780 |
You can't go street preaching in your public high school 00:45:35.260 |
and then come out and then try to be cool, right? 00:45:38.120 |
Our fear of losing the world causes us to be timid. 00:45:44.420 |
We're so afraid of not being cool, or being seen as weird. 00:45:51.200 |
And that's enough for us to keep our mouth closed. 00:45:56.120 |
And think about what it is that we are not saying. 00:46:02.740 |
We all know, sooner or later, we're going to die. 00:46:05.660 |
The only way of salvation is the blood of Jesus Christ. 00:46:08.560 |
Think about what it is that we refuse to say, 00:46:10.940 |
simply because we don't want them to see us as weird. 00:46:31.620 |
by people that really have done nothing for us. 00:46:35.880 |
Third and finally, what causes us to be timid 00:46:49.040 |
the first thing that happens is you won't be a witness, 00:46:51.400 |
because the devil is going to use that and say, 00:47:01.300 |
And so that thought is so prevalent in your mind 00:47:04.220 |
that I don't have the right to tell about God. 00:47:17.020 |
to remind me that Christ loves me unconditionally. 00:47:20.360 |
But you can never preach the gospel to other people, 00:47:22.420 |
because Satan will use your sin to keep you quiet. 00:47:30.460 |
is that I will be ashamed of you when I come in glory, 00:47:33.620 |
in the glory of the Father and of the angels. 00:47:45.540 |
He came as a son of man to serve and to save. 00:47:51.380 |
But the scripture tells us that in his second coming, 00:47:56.460 |
And the reason why he will come in full glory 00:48:05.200 |
So when he says, when he comes in full glory, 00:48:09.860 |
as you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you. 00:48:14.700 |
I will not protect you from the wrath of God. 00:48:31.020 |
and I'm not gonna give you the reward that you deserve. 00:48:58.660 |
stood in the corners, you know, street corners 00:49:00.740 |
and preached the gospel, that you're not saved? 00:49:49.940 |
So does that mean that because he denied Jesus, 00:49:53.380 |
he was ashamed of him, that when he comes in glory, 00:50:19.260 |
Because what he's attracted to is not Christ. 00:50:21.940 |
What he's attracted to is not the truth of the gospel. 00:50:39.720 |
So the reason why he's ashamed of him and his words 00:51:00.120 |
Romans 8.1, therefore there is now no condemnation 00:51:06.720 |
This is in reference, this is not in reference 00:51:13.680 |
This is somebody who may be sitting in this room 00:51:16.380 |
and say, you know what, I don't know if I need to do that. 00:51:29.180 |
I want to come to church and I want to hear a sermon 00:51:36.660 |
And I got to serve the church in the background. 00:51:39.020 |
I just want to be quiet Christian in the background. 00:51:41.620 |
But feel no sense of urgency to share this gospel, 00:51:46.300 |
to anybody, that's someone else's job, maybe. 00:51:50.500 |
Maybe the reason why is because you don't really believe. 00:52:17.440 |
but that with all boldness, Christ will even now 00:52:23.100 |
Here's Apostle Paul who is possibly waiting for execution 00:52:41.740 |
Whether by good or bad motive, he's preaching the gospel. 00:52:48.820 |
"my only concern is that I would not be ashamed. 00:52:52.300 |
"That whether I'm executed or whether I get to live, 00:52:56.620 |
"my only concern is that I am bold for Jesus." 00:53:06.500 |
Well, that's why Jesus chose him, 'cause he was special, 00:53:16.220 |
He met the living Savior and he was convicted 00:53:21.800 |
He says in Romans 1:16, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, 00:53:40.540 |
With all the causes that we give our life and money to, 00:53:45.460 |
the most important cause for any Christian is this. 00:54:15.260 |
all you've done is put a Band-Aid on something 00:54:23.400 |
"because it is the power of God unto salvation 00:54:29.060 |
Conviction of that truth is what gives us boldness, 00:54:37.380 |
If you saw a child playing in the middle of a street, 00:54:42.840 |
maybe the parents don't see it, so they feel safe, 00:54:51.340 |
At some point, because you know that danger is coming, 00:54:57.180 |
you're gonna go into the middle of that road, 00:55:00.500 |
tackle that child to the ground, grab him to safety. 00:55:12.360 |
"I'm tackling the child, how's this gonna look?" 00:55:17.340 |
but if they don't do something, then what can I do? 00:55:25.340 |
Your conviction is going to dictate your action. 00:55:30.980 |
And if you are certain that this child is in danger, 00:55:36.700 |
then I will do everything in my power to save that child, 00:55:42.160 |
even if they will accuse me of being a sinner. 00:55:45.460 |
It is my conviction and the depth and the strength 00:56:01.420 |
That guy's so weird, ah, the door's not open over there. 00:56:17.780 |
When we have weak faith, any little thing is a hindrance. 00:56:23.560 |
Or we're looking for somebody to, literally, right, 00:56:34.520 |
Can you explain Isaiah 53, and you're praying, 00:56:41.760 |
please now give me, I need to know how to get saved, 00:56:44.740 |
who is this Jesus, and you're only in that context 00:56:48.860 |
But outside of that, it's like, ah, the door's not open. 00:56:51.940 |
When we have weak faith and we're not convicted, 00:56:55.080 |
any little stumbling block, any little discomfort 00:57:01.520 |
Conviction, secondly, is assurance of Christ's presence 00:57:10.180 |
I remember years ago, when I first started going out, 00:57:13.260 |
street evangelism, I remember very specifically 00:57:19.260 |
and I would try to walk with people and share the gospel. 00:57:21.220 |
And obviously, you know, majority of them are not, 00:57:28.220 |
And I remember one morning, waking up and thinking, 00:57:33.860 |
of just trying to stop people that I don't know 00:57:36.760 |
And, you know, most people, because you see me up here, 00:57:42.480 |
Because I've been doing this for over 30 years, 00:57:48.680 |
I've been standing in front of people preaching, 00:57:50.320 |
so I don't get anxious about coming up here, right? 00:57:54.760 |
I know public speaking is anxious for most people, 00:58:02.680 |
I don't want to be, I don't want people to be like, 00:58:07.760 |
So I remember praying that morning and thinking, 00:58:11.920 |
thinking, man, if Dr. Robert Saucy came with me, 00:58:16.120 |
because he was the top scholar at our school. 00:58:19.000 |
And I remember just being blown away in his classes. 00:58:27.080 |
I wouldn't hesitate if they asked me questions, 00:58:32.460 |
And I remember praying that morning, being convicted. 00:58:45.760 |
In the Great Commission, Matthew 28, 19 and 20, 00:58:50.160 |
go therefore make disciples of all the nations, 00:58:54.040 |
teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. 00:58:55.880 |
And lo, I am with you, even to the end of the age. 00:59:07.560 |
When Jesus told them that I'm going to the cross, 00:59:12.400 |
they didn't fully understand, but they know now. 00:59:21.320 |
that they're gonna be scored, they're gonna be hated, 00:59:29.340 |
All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 00:59:44.040 |
it gives us the boldness to be able to preach. 01:00:01.560 |
and we're afraid and dad holds our hands, that's enough. 01:00:04.940 |
We'll go through an area that we're unfamiliar with. 01:00:07.720 |
As long as dad is with us, we're okay, we're good. 01:00:10.220 |
This is the reason why Jesus says, I am with you. 01:00:22.060 |
I also suffer these things, but I am not ashamed, 01:00:27.300 |
I know whom I have, I am convinced that he is able 01:00:30.740 |
to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day. 01:00:43.300 |
sometimes we're not near him or we don't believe. 01:00:48.020 |
But the conviction of his presence in our lives 01:00:53.020 |
And finally, or third, walking in the spirit. 01:00:58.340 |
Boldness and the Holy Spirit go hand in hand. 01:01:03.120 |
Acts chapter 1.8, the disciples are ready to go. 01:01:11.220 |
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit 01:01:12.900 |
has come upon you, and you shall be my witnesses, 01:01:15.460 |
both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, 01:01:20.740 |
You will be my witness when the Holy Spirit comes. 01:01:24.340 |
Not try to be a witness, not work and try to get 01:01:37.100 |
when the Holy Spirit falls upon the disciples 01:01:46.600 |
So boldness and power is associated with the Holy Spirit. 01:01:55.460 |
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, 01:01:59.940 |
Therefore, do not be ashamed of the testimony 01:02:08.260 |
In Ephesians 5, 18, do not get drunk with wine, 01:02:11.580 |
for that is dissipation, but be filled with the spirit. 01:02:19.700 |
because the power comes from the Holy Spirit. 01:02:40.060 |
or you have some training that other people didn't have. 01:02:49.860 |
but against powers and principalities in high places. 01:03:07.160 |
Fourth and finally, what gives us boldness is love. 01:03:13.000 |
Hebrews 12, two to three, fixing our eyes on Jesus, 01:03:18.380 |
who for the joy set before him endured the cross, 01:03:21.180 |
despising the shame and sat down at the right hand 01:03:26.380 |
for considering him who has endured such hostility 01:03:31.580 |
so that you would not grow weary and lose heart. 01:03:43.000 |
If you're a mom, it is not exclusive to moms, 01:03:50.820 |
but I know that the moms have a special place 01:04:10.820 |
"Ah, you know, I'm an introvert, so I can't say anything." 01:04:14.060 |
All of a sudden, they become the most extroverted person 01:04:16.100 |
you'll ever meet because of their love for their child. 01:04:19.680 |
Somebody who normally has no more than one thing to say, 01:04:25.580 |
but all of a sudden, when it comes to their child, 01:04:27.020 |
they become as bold as anybody else you've ever met. 01:04:36.360 |
You become more patient than you normally were, 01:04:48.700 |
if you think that there's something in their path, 01:05:03.020 |
It's God's love toward us and our love for him 01:05:09.360 |
That's why Paul says in 2 Corinthians 5, 14 to 15, 01:05:17.640 |
"having concluded this, that one died for all, 01:05:22.220 |
"so that they who live might no longer live for themselves, 01:05:25.060 |
"but for him who died and rose again on their behalf." 01:05:31.260 |
Why does he love people that are questioning him? 01:05:34.700 |
Why does he endure not only to preach the gospel 01:05:40.140 |
but put up with these people who are questioning him? 01:05:42.800 |
And he's arguing with them, "I am an apostle!" 01:05:57.100 |
You know, when Peter, right, we know him as the rock, 01:06:13.740 |
after the resurrection, before he commissions him out, 01:06:25.180 |
And he looked straight at Jesus and said, "I don't know him." 01:06:30.640 |
So Jesus wants to forgive him and restore him, 01:06:37.420 |
John chapter 21, Peter, "Do you love me more than these?" 01:06:51.780 |
Peter, "Do you really love me more than these?" 01:06:56.840 |
"If you really love me, then go feed my sheep." 01:07:24.460 |
which will overflow to the love for the world. 01:07:28.540 |
Part of the reason why we don't love the world 01:07:32.620 |
that way may be because we don't love God that way. 01:07:45.660 |
you will know, in John 3:16, "For God so loved the world 01:07:56.740 |
"that whosoever believes in him shall not perish, 01:08:09.040 |
So if you're near God, if you commune with God, 01:08:21.160 |
from his presence and not recognize his love for the world. 01:08:28.400 |
And you can't help begin to love what he loves. 01:09:04.740 |
Knowing the rest of the world outside of this place 01:09:12.080 |
And somehow we have made not telling them about this 01:09:19.820 |
There's so many weird things going on in this world. 01:09:42.220 |
There's so many weird things going on in this world. 01:09:45.760 |
But of all the weird things that I am the most concerned 01:09:51.060 |
about, that I believe that God is most concerned about, 01:09:58.320 |
How we have made keeping the gospel to ourselves normal. 01:10:04.860 |
It's normal to live all your life in the church 01:10:25.920 |
"you must also pick up your cross, follow me." 01:10:37.880 |
The most detailed record of early church fathers 01:10:42.880 |
who were martyred for their faith is on Polycarp. 01:10:48.600 |
He was martyred in 158 AD and he was the bishop of Smyrna. 01:10:53.200 |
The reason why we have a detailed record of him 01:10:56.540 |
And the people who watched it were so disturbed 01:11:07.240 |
So the Roman proconsul was watching this old man 01:11:40.740 |
"I'll throw you to them unless you change your mind." 01:12:02.820 |
"You threaten with fire that burns for a short time 01:12:07.480 |
"You don't know about the fire of the coming judgment 01:12:09.620 |
"and eternal punishment that awaits the wicked. 01:12:30.580 |
I probably was no more than 22, 23 at the time 01:12:43.200 |
"that I would have the love for Christ like this man. 01:12:49.000 |
"That I would know the love of Christ to this degree 01:13:04.640 |
"I pray that we would come to know this Christ. 01:13:40.060 |
That we may be the light that you've called us to be. 01:13:45.980 |
May your name be magnified in us and through us. 01:13:57.940 |
we ask that again, one by one, when you are ready to come, 01:14:01.500 |
if you're coming down this line here, there's two lines. 01:14:04.220 |
So as you're coming and if you see the line merging, 01:14:07.220 |
something has gone wrong, so please stay in that line. 01:14:09.820 |
So for the sake of time, we need both lines to go. 01:14:13.460 |
So please come this way and then exit the side. 01:14:15.340 |
If you are gluten-free, the gluten-free stuff 01:14:19.580 |
So please go to that side if you need gluten-free stuff. 01:14:30.100 |
That Christ died for us and he washed our sins away. 01:14:35.300 |
We don't come here because we had a good week in the Lord. 01:14:39.700 |
that only by the blood of Christ that we can have salvation. 01:14:42.920 |
So we come to celebrate, we come in repentance, 01:14:45.640 |
we come reflecting, and so after we open up the table, 01:14:54.680 |
So if you're not a baptized believer in the church 01:14:57.480 |
and you're just here, maybe as a guest 'cause you have, 01:14:59.980 |
you're just curious about the Christian faith, 01:15:06.080 |
And so we ask that you would just stay where you're at 01:15:10.400 |
Lord, if you're real, if the gospel that I've been taught 01:15:14.680 |
by my friends and maybe some things that was said today 01:15:24.960 |
Lord, if you're real, if the gospel that I heard is real, 01:15:40.020 |
Otherwise, we ask that whenever you're ready, 01:15:43.720 |
For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered 01:15:51.960 |
When he had given things, he broke it and said, 01:15:57.320 |
In the same way, he took the cup also after supper, 01:15:59.760 |
saying, "This cup is a new covenant in my blood. 01:16:01.980 |
"Do this as often as you drink it in remembrance of me. 01:16:05.480 |
"For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, 01:16:08.040 |
"you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes." 01:16:15.100 |
And then afterwards, we ask that whenever you are ready, 01:17:30.860 |
