00:09:28.260 |
Let me get to a few announcements before we get started. 00:09:39.260 |
We're actually running out of space in our cry room 00:09:43.260 |
And so we've noticed that there's been a shift 00:09:47.260 |
And so if you are able, especially if you have children 00:09:54.260 |
because we're running out of space for the second service. 00:10:04.260 |
to go to the third service, we ask that you go. 00:10:06.260 |
There's a seeds ministry that's happening there as well. 00:10:15.260 |
FAM 245, if you're a part of the young couples ministry, 00:10:20.260 |
there is a bowling gathering fellowship happening, 00:10:28.260 |
So please sign up for that if you're planning to go. 00:10:32.260 |
starting on September 29th, 9.30 a.m. at the Youth Chapel. 00:10:40.260 |
there's an eight-week course that takes place 00:10:48.260 |
It'll last about an hour and a half each session. 00:10:50.260 |
And we go over the fundamental doctrines of Christianity 00:10:53.260 |
and what our church and how our church practices 00:11:02.260 |
the next session is starting in September 29th at 9.30. 00:11:08.260 |
I'm not sure if there's one outside in the quad, 00:11:11.260 |
but you can go online or go to our church app, 00:11:16.260 |
And lastly, if you're part of the Jubilee ministry, 00:11:30.260 |
but we want to give you a heads-up on that Saturday 00:11:40.260 |
So we'll be meeting there on October 12th at 8.30. 00:11:55.260 |
And then again, if you brought physical offering, 00:11:57.260 |
there is a box in the back that you can drop it off 00:12:07.260 |
Gracious Father, we thank you so much for your grace. 00:12:15.260 |
We ask, Lord God, that you would bless this time 00:12:18.260 |
that our mind, our heart, our focus, our will 00:12:39.260 |
It may be multiplied for the sake of your kingdom. 00:12:54.260 |
and give her testimony and then be baptized, okay? 00:13:34.260 |
And before we continue, we could spend a few moments 00:15:40.260 |
The Lamb of God was crushed for our rebellion. 00:15:46.260 |
He died our death and rose up from the grave. 00:16:29.260 |
With trumpet blasts resounding to claim his blood-washed crown. 00:16:38.260 |
He'll wrap the skies, descending in his glory. 00:18:14.260 |
Though the nations rage, kingdoms rise and fall, 00:18:51.260 |
None above him, none before him, all of time in his hands. 00:19:01.260 |
For his throne it shall remain and ever stand. 00:19:10.260 |
All the power, all the glory, I will trust in his name, 00:20:03.260 |
None above him, none before him, all of time in his hands. 00:20:15.260 |
For his throne it shall remain and ever stand. 00:20:25.260 |
All the power, all the glory, I will trust in his name, 00:21:35.260 |
None above him, none before him, all of time in his hands. 00:21:44.260 |
For his throne it shall remain and ever stand. 00:21:51.260 |
All the power, all the glory, I will trust in his name, 00:22:50.260 |
>> Hello. For those of you who don't know me, 00:22:53.260 |
my name is Danielle Kim, but most of you know me as Ellie. 00:22:59.260 |
I was adopted from South Korea and was raised 00:23:19.260 |
my pride, and having self-control in many aspects. 00:23:22.260 |
As I got older, I began to rebel against my parents 00:23:30.260 |
I never had many friends, but in fifth grade, 00:23:37.260 |
I began to idolize my friends, even though I knew 00:23:42.260 |
As time passed and my desire to maintain friendships, 00:23:46.260 |
I found myself allowing myself to be pressured 00:23:52.260 |
by my so-called friends, simply to stay friends with them. 00:24:01.260 |
I made some of the first genuine school friends in my life. 00:24:20.260 |
extracurriculars, popularity, or anything else. 00:24:33.260 |
then the sermon topics for my school chapel sessions 00:24:48.260 |
"The reason you feel like you're such a failure 00:25:06.260 |
It was one of the core concepts of Christianity, 00:25:22.260 |
That Friday just happened, by God's good grace, 00:25:49.260 |
the sheer magnitude of God's grace and mercy for me. 00:26:03.260 |
turning to Christ in everyday spontaneous prayer, 00:26:12.260 |
and the heart to come to church with humility 00:26:49.260 |
for I am convinced that neither death nor life, 00:26:59.260 |
will be able to separate us from the love of God, 00:27:08.260 |
and given a new and completely filling purpose in Christ, 00:28:35.260 |
"Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was happening, 00:28:48.260 |
and by others that one of the prophets of old 00:29:10.260 |
he withdrew by himself to a city called Bethsaida. 00:29:12.260 |
When the gods were aware of this and followed him 00:29:14.260 |
and welcoming them, he began speaking to them 00:29:44.260 |
I don't know if this has ever happened to you. 00:29:49.260 |
How many of you had, in the middle of the night, 00:29:55.260 |
Right? If they come and banging on your door. 00:30:01.260 |
I know a lot of you guys have that ring camera, 00:30:03.260 |
so you don't even have to go to the door anymore. 00:30:05.260 |
You'll check your phone, and you're going to see, 00:30:32.260 |
who maybe there's an emergency, and they need me to help them?" 00:30:38.260 |
a police officer, or maybe a fire department?" 00:32:30.260 |
if somebody's at the door and you want to figure out 00:32:38.260 |
uniform, maybe they'll show you your credential, 00:33:12.260 |
they would pay attention to what he was saying. 00:33:28.260 |
central thing that he was doing was to preach 00:33:30.260 |
about the kingdom of God. He said, John the Baptist 00:33:56.260 |
that they would pay attention to what he had to 00:34:08.260 |
The next scene that we're going to see is the feeding 00:34:44.260 |
he would have been celebrated. No matter what 00:34:46.260 |
religion, no matter what background, in every generation, 00:34:56.260 |
was not because of his works, but because of what 00:35:34.260 |
verse 7 and 8, it says, "Now Herod the Tetrarch 00:35:46.260 |
and by others that one of the prophets of old 00:36:00.260 |
scene, and they couldn't tell the difference. 00:36:10.260 |
shows up, his eye must decrease, and he must increase. 00:36:22.260 |
when they asked, "Who do you think Jesus is?" 00:36:30.260 |
saying, "Well, he was beheaded. How can that be John? 00:37:40.260 |
thank you, there's no celebration, there's no 00:37:54.260 |
greater than John. So what made him so great? 00:38:04.260 |
such a great job, they couldn't tell the difference. 00:38:14.260 |
of every servant. The preaching of the kingdom 00:38:46.260 |
It's to love Christ. And if I did a good job, 00:39:20.260 |
revealed, then you also will be revealed with 00:39:42.260 |
we asked her, "Do you recognize? Do you understand 00:40:12.260 |
That we would make a name for ourselves, whether 00:40:44.260 |
flaws, and they begin to point out your flaws, 00:41:22.260 |
If it's not Elijah, maybe it's one of the prophets. 00:42:18.260 |
"Hey, you look like, did you marry your sister?" 00:42:24.260 |
we're living in the same house, we've been together for so long, 00:42:28.260 |
you have same appetite, the things that she likes, 00:42:34.260 |
start to even smell alike. I don't know if the 00:43:46.260 |
one that people would say, because they looked so much 00:43:50.260 |
"Some say that you're Elijah. Some say you're 00:44:16.260 |
But you know what's interesting? When Jesus turns around and asks 00:44:22.260 |
was saying would have been a huge compliment. 00:44:46.260 |
But you know what's interesting here is typically 00:44:54.260 |
are the people who observe them from a distance. 00:45:16.260 |
typically you'll hear, "Oh, you guys say this, 00:45:24.260 |
And people who are the closest to that person 00:46:44.260 |
And if you remember the beginning story of when Jesus 00:47:12.260 |
And if there ever was a rebellion, that the Romans 00:47:16.260 |
That they don't have to get their hands dirty. 00:47:34.260 |
becoming a little bit too popular, and then he 00:47:56.260 |
that there wasn't going to be an individual that was going to bring them all together, 00:48:28.260 |
Because he's the guy who set up idols everywhere 00:49:10.260 |
preaching, "The kingdom of heaven is at hand." 00:49:46.260 |
and I'm just going to read the long text, but I want you 00:49:52.260 |
sent to him priests and Levites from Jerusalem 00:49:58.260 |
And he confessed and did not deny, but confessed, 00:50:04.260 |
And he said, "I am not. Are you a prophet?" And he answered, 00:50:26.260 |
voice of one crying in the wilderness. Make straight 00:50:42.260 |
of you who know what that is, why is that all in capital? 00:52:26.260 |
wife has established at home and taught our kids. 00:53:02.260 |
temporarily, and she rules, and then when she's 00:53:46.260 |
for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Repent, 00:54:46.260 |
she leaves Herodias, she leaves her husband, comes 00:55:16.260 |
than any other king, because there was a king 00:55:42.260 |
popular, and then he's calling me out, he's shaming us." 00:56:00.260 |
and ask him, "If I do this for you, would you give 00:56:26.260 |
forced to because he made it a public profession, 00:56:44.260 |
it kind of gives us a background, and I'm going to read 00:57:54.260 |
point this out? One, so that you may have a better 00:58:10.260 |
He said, "This is not my jurisdiction." And he 00:59:30.260 |
people who reject Christ don't say, "You know, that's 00:59:54.260 |
of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness 01:00:54.260 |
the Son of the living God. I believe all that 01:02:52.260 |
of time. Every dollar that I give to the church 01:04:04.260 |
word would bear fruit in our hearts and our lives 01:07:48.260 |
Glory at the throne, my heart restored. With all your saints I sing, Father, none I will but yours be done. 01:08:19.260 |
As we go forth, our God and Father, lead us daily in the fight, that all the world might see your glory and your name be lifted high. 01:08:39.260 |
And in this name we overcome, for you shall see us safely home. 01:08:49.260 |
Now as your church, we lift our voice and pray, Father, none I will but yours be done. 01:08:59.260 |
And in this name we overcome, for you shall see us safely home. 01:09:09.260 |
Now as your church, we lift our voice and pray, Father, none I will but yours be done. Father, none I will but yours be done. Father, none I will but yours be done. 01:09:40.260 |
Now the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, eternal love of God the Father, rest, restore, and strengthen all of God's children, that we may be the aroma of Christ, wherever you send us. Amen. 01:09:56.260 |
God sent His Son. They called Him Jesus. He came to love, heal, and forgive. He lived and died. 01:10:24.260 |
To buy my pardon, an empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives. 01:10:41.260 |
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow. Because He lives, all fear is gone. 01:11:02.260 |
Because I know He holds the future, and life is worth the living just because He lives. 01:11:28.260 |
What gift of grace is Jesus my Redeemer? There is no more.
