00:04:50.400 |
for us to get together and to worship our God. 00:05:05.860 |
"in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, 00:05:18.360 |
"in the secret place of his tent, he will hide me. 00:05:33.440 |
"I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord." 00:05:39.060 |
And with that, let us begin our worship this morning. 00:09:04.520 |
for children 12 to 17 months is starting today. 00:09:08.360 |
So if I can ask of you, I'm sure you guys already know, 00:09:22.160 |
make sure you go to the other side of the building 00:09:30.800 |
So that's starting today, only during second service. 00:09:33.720 |
Old Testament survey, the first class is starting today. 00:09:37.340 |
So if you signed up, make sure you come to this room 00:09:42.000 |
It'll be going from six sessions from 2 p.m. to 3.30 00:09:50.680 |
you can just show up and just tell Pastor Peter Chung 00:09:58.640 |
and then whatever material that they're gonna print 00:10:00.440 |
and give you is that they can be better prepared next time. 00:10:12.520 |
And if you haven't signed up and you're able to come, 00:10:21.740 |
more thorough and quicker the thing's gonna go. 00:10:24.800 |
And it's gonna be from nine to about 12 o'clock 00:10:32.040 |
And then I just wanted to give you a heads up. 00:10:37.040 |
but we have a softball tournament that we have annually 00:10:42.040 |
for missions fundraising that's gonna be happening 00:10:49.560 |
and the following Saturday is for the ladies. 00:10:51.760 |
So if you are interested in signing up for that, 00:10:54.920 |
And so again, you'll get the information for that. 00:11:14.000 |
you received the invitation and info card for Easter. 00:11:20.160 |
And we wanna encourage you to use the opportunity 00:11:23.200 |
to think ahead and intentionally thinking about people 00:11:26.320 |
in your lives, your coworkers, classmates, et cetera, 00:11:34.320 |
our outreach team would love to pray with you. 00:11:36.800 |
So we're gonna put up a form just on the various platforms 00:11:45.240 |
That being said, we're gonna be planning extra EV outings 00:11:51.640 |
especially the spectrum where there's a lot of people. 00:11:53.880 |
So please be on the lookout for the signup for that. 00:11:56.480 |
We're gonna be going both Saturday and Sunday 00:12:06.640 |
but please make sure that you have those things 00:12:08.880 |
on the calendar, the devotions that are taking place 00:12:13.040 |
And then on Thursday, there is a special Passover meal 00:12:19.520 |
It'll include a dinner and reenacting the Passover elements 00:12:26.880 |
So if you haven't ever experienced it before, 00:12:30.600 |
it just really highlights the direct line and path 00:12:33.440 |
to why Christ was so important as the sacrifice of God. 00:12:46.160 |
and the three services that are taking place on Sunday, 00:12:49.200 |
there is going to be a resource booth after the services. 00:12:54.680 |
please make sure to swing by in the courtyard. 00:13:00.000 |
and give to them any resources they may need, 00:13:17.880 |
if you have not made the switch to Subsplash, 00:13:20.280 |
that we have one more month and at the end of March, 00:13:27.720 |
Otherwise, if you guys can make the transition to Subsplash, 00:13:36.680 |
when they have to prepare tax forms and everything, 00:13:48.400 |
And then after that, the law, starting from April, all right. 00:13:56.120 |
we'll give you a minute to give your offering. 00:14:04.640 |
Lord, we know what a privilege it is, Lord God, 00:14:15.200 |
Give thanks, Lord, for everything that you've given. 00:14:20.880 |
that all that we have is because you've given it to us. 00:14:27.600 |
that what we sing, what we give, and what we do 00:14:32.200 |
may all be an overflow of gratitude in our hearts. 00:14:41.520 |
and again, may it be multiplied for the sake of your kingdom. 00:15:43.400 |
would you please stand with us as we continue our worship? 00:15:46.080 |
And as we always do, take a minute to say hello 00:17:38.280 |

If you can turn your Bibles to Luke chapter seven, 00:25:21.440 |
and we'll be reading from verse 29 to verse 35. 00:25:33.900 |
When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, 00:25:39.240 |
having been baptized with the baptism of John, 00:25:47.640 |
To what then shall I compare the men of this generation 00:25:51.600 |
They are like children who sit in the marketplace 00:25:55.240 |
"We played the flute for you and you did not dance. 00:26:00.620 |
"For John the Baptist has come eating no bread 00:26:02.760 |
"and drinking no wine, and you say he has a demon. 00:26:06.460 |
"The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, 00:26:09.300 |
"and you say behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, 00:26:15.180 |
"yet wisdom is vindicated by all her children." 00:26:31.480 |
not simply of your words, but of your very heart. 00:26:45.300 |
I pray that what you have ordained your word to be, 00:26:48.780 |
that it would sanctify us, correct us, guide us, 00:26:51.420 |
that we may become more and more like Christ each day. 00:27:29.220 |
and being involved in church, serving in the church, 00:27:31.140 |
sometimes the greatest and the most deeply deceived people 00:27:35.660 |
are the people who are religious, who are in the church. 00:27:43.680 |
Second Corinthians 4, three to four, it says, 00:27:53.480 |
"so that they may not see the light of the gospel 00:27:55.780 |
"of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God." 00:28:15.040 |
And just like Jesus said, like the first soil, 00:28:18.160 |
because they do not comprehend what is being taught, 00:28:26.920 |
and they may remember things that they heard, 00:28:43.760 |
that he desires that more than anything else in his life, 00:28:46.120 |
and so he surrenders and follows Christ as a result. 00:28:49.280 |
So the distinction between a Christian and a non-Christian 00:29:04.960 |
is have you seen the glory of the gospel of Jesus Christ, 00:29:08.240 |
or you've heard it, but you have not seen the glory. 00:29:19.080 |
so that he also may see the glory of the gospel? 00:29:33.960 |
versus the leaders, the Pharisees and the lawyers 00:29:44.560 |
"When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, 00:29:52.720 |
that what God was doing was right, it was just, 00:29:56.080 |
"having been baptized with the baptism of John. 00:30:13.360 |
and then which ultimately led to receiving Jesus 00:30:17.200 |
and rejecting Jesus was the baptism of John, right? 00:30:22.040 |
That's what Luke says, that was the distinction. 00:30:24.800 |
The reason why the people and the tax collectors 00:30:28.000 |
were able to acknowledge and accept the justice of God 00:30:31.360 |
is because they were baptized by John the Baptist, 00:30:33.840 |
and the Pharisees and the lawyers who knew all the law, 00:30:38.840 |
who knew everything, and yet they rejected him 00:30:42.960 |
is because they did not receive the baptism of John. 00:30:46.480 |
This morning, we wanna look at what that means. 00:30:52.760 |
between seeing the glory and not seeing the glory, 00:31:04.480 |
that when he says because he received the baptism 00:31:07.720 |
of John the Baptist, was there something in the water? 00:31:09.600 |
Was there some special touch or power that God gave to John 00:31:14.040 |
that if he touched them, that somehow their eyes were opened? 00:31:17.840 |
Now obviously, that's not what he's referring to. 00:31:20.160 |
John the Baptist, his baptism is known as what? 00:31:45.400 |
and acknowledge God's justice is because they repented. 00:31:50.280 |
And the reason why the Pharisees and the lawyers 00:31:58.560 |
So that is a broad outline of what we're gonna be looking at, 00:32:01.360 |
repentance is what causes us to see God and his glory. 00:32:05.920 |
It is repentance that causes our eyes to become open. 00:32:19.160 |
Aren't tax collectors also the people, right? 00:32:31.320 |
where it was said the tax collectors were justified, 00:32:34.280 |
the tax, he hung out with the tax collectors, 00:32:36.880 |
that Jesus was known to hang out with sinners 00:32:41.360 |
with tax collectors is because they would have considered 00:32:54.880 |
if anybody deserves the harshest of punishment, 00:32:57.880 |
the greatest of sinner would have been a tax collector. 00:33:01.340 |
Because not only did they betray the nation of Israel, 00:33:06.340 |
they basically turned the money over to the pagans 00:33:33.040 |
It says because they received a baptism of repentance. 00:33:42.820 |
There's reasons why we don't practice infant baptism, 00:33:52.000 |
Our baptism was handed down from John the Baptist, 00:34:00.680 |
The apostles practiced the baptism of repentance. 00:34:04.160 |
The early church practiced the baptism of repentance. 00:34:16.760 |
That's why when Peter in Acts chapter two stands up 00:34:23.520 |
in front of the same people who crucified Jesus, 00:34:34.400 |
And those who were convicted, they said, what should we do? 00:34:47.520 |
we have people who are up here who will give their testimony 00:34:57.000 |
And then they'll qualify, but I never repented. 00:35:08.920 |
And that's exactly what John the Baptist taught. 00:35:15.360 |
So baptism, or repentance in the Greek means metanoia. 00:35:22.860 |
That there is a radical change that happens in you. 00:35:28.360 |
that because there was a radical transformation 00:35:48.400 |
you begin to live your life according to your repentance. 00:36:06.700 |
And he came into all the district around the Jordan, 00:36:20.800 |
But John the Baptist was preaching repentance 00:36:36.680 |
is what lays the road that Christ can come to us 00:36:43.280 |
The obstacle that existed between us and God, 00:36:47.920 |
is straightened so that we can get to Christ. 00:36:53.640 |
and every mountain and hill will be brought low. 00:37:14.400 |
in order to make the path straight to Christ. 00:37:20.040 |
that caused you to not be able to get to Christ. 00:37:25.520 |
Basically, repentance is what causes us to get to Christ. 00:38:15.520 |
Because they still live their lives for themselves. 00:38:25.260 |
They're still pursuing money like anybody else. 00:38:30.040 |
They still value the same thing like anybody else. 00:38:56.780 |
And so, so many people who make decisions for Jesus 00:39:05.700 |
but my life didn't turn out the way I wanted. 00:39:40.100 |
That is not the message that we hear in the New Testament. 00:39:59.020 |
That you may have a straight path toward Christ. 00:40:02.440 |
That you may see the glory of the gospel of Jesus Christ. 00:40:06.060 |
It wasn't simply that they didn't understand. 00:40:09.060 |
In Romans chapter one it says they didn't understand 00:40:15.860 |
The scripture says because they love the darkness 00:40:21.620 |
And so the reason why they weren't able to see 00:40:31.060 |
And as a result of that, they're always learning. 00:40:41.900 |
They may even be teachers, but they don't know Christ. 00:40:49.220 |
in light of the surpassing knowledge of known Jesus Christ, 00:41:16.700 |
I am looking more forward to the money that I save 00:41:24.620 |
but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth 00:41:33.340 |
They acknowledged Jesus, they accepted Jesus, 00:41:40.980 |
the distinction between a Christian and a non-Christian 00:41:43.380 |
is one who repented and the one who did not repent. 00:41:50.860 |
and even the vile of sinners like the tax collectors, 00:41:57.540 |
In contrast, the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, 00:42:11.140 |
Now, you have to understand who the Pharisees were. 00:42:19.220 |
If I wanted to learn how to pray and evangelize, 00:42:21.860 |
if I wanted to go to the temple and give many sacrifices, 00:42:33.900 |
The teachers of the law, 24/7, was constantly debating, 00:42:44.420 |
They were constantly expositing the Old Testament. 00:42:56.040 |
How many people do you know who fast twice a week? 00:42:58.700 |
They were giving tithing of everything that they had. 00:43:04.960 |
So if there's anybody that they would have thought 00:43:06.840 |
was closer to God than the rest of the people, 00:43:10.120 |
they would have put the Pharisees and the lawyers here 00:43:14.200 |
But you see what Luke is doing, he's flipping the switch. 00:43:19.160 |
That these vilest of sinners were able to hear God, 00:43:22.680 |
but these leaders could not recognize the voice of God. 00:43:37.680 |
"The scribes and the Pharisees have seated themselves 00:43:41.220 |
"Therefore, all that they tell you, do and observe." 00:43:45.060 |
Meaning that they know the law, they know the Bible. 00:43:55.480 |
But he says, "But do not do according to their deeds, 00:44:06.460 |
to be a teacher of the word of God and not practice it. 00:44:11.040 |
We have too many people who lead with their mouth 00:44:17.460 |
And that's exactly what the Pharisees were doing. 00:44:27.700 |
And he says, "Listen to them, but don't follow them." 00:44:34.080 |
but not able to understand is because they did not repent. 00:44:38.380 |
So the question that we have is what causes somebody, 00:44:41.260 |
what causes somebody who should have known better? 00:44:44.260 |
What causes somebody who had all the knowledge, 00:44:54.020 |
I'm gonna give you three things that I believe 00:45:02.060 |
We become callous to anything that we do repeatedly. 00:45:06.060 |
I think most of us, if you've been a Christian 00:45:09.440 |
for any period of time, you know how you were 00:45:12.660 |
when you first began to sing these gospel songs, 00:45:15.520 |
when you first repented, what it meant to you, 00:45:20.940 |
But after a while, you become callous to these things. 00:45:24.660 |
You're singing these songs, but you're just singing. 00:45:26.540 |
You're not praising, you're not worshiping God. 00:45:30.340 |
C.S. Lewis says, "None are so unholy as those 00:45:35.020 |
"whose hands are cauterized with the holy things. 00:45:38.460 |
"Sacred things become profane by becoming matters of a job. 00:45:49.180 |
The person who is in the greatest danger of this 00:45:52.040 |
in this church is me, because this is my job. 00:45:57.040 |
I'm in front of the Bible all week long, all week long. 00:46:01.300 |
I'm there constantly going through the scripture, 00:46:05.100 |
talking to people about God, and as a result of that, 00:46:08.780 |
I can easily become cauterized, desensitized. 00:46:16.380 |
and the sacred things are no longer sacred to me. 00:46:38.420 |
every single year you live without repentance, 00:46:53.480 |
because you become so desensitized to the truth. 00:47:06.660 |
and that's exactly what happened to the Pharisees 00:47:10.540 |
Even though they knew more than anybody else, 00:47:13.140 |
they were blinder, more blind than even the tax collectors. 00:47:18.140 |
The second reason why people become dull to hearing 00:47:22.460 |
is because of self-righteousness, self-righteousness. 00:47:26.260 |
Instead of seeking true righteousness, self-righteousness. 00:47:31.060 |
when comparing themselves with other sinners. 00:47:34.340 |
You see somebody who's doing the right thing, 00:47:41.980 |
but they never repent, there's no need to repent, 00:47:44.860 |
because their sinner's always worse than them. 00:47:49.060 |
but I'm not as bad as them, I know I'm not perfect, 00:47:51.260 |
but I'm not as bad as them, that's self-righteousness. 00:47:57.660 |
who immediately turns their attention to a greater sinner. 00:48:05.140 |
but I'm not as bad as them, that's self-righteousness, 00:48:21.340 |
You ever see somebody who gets on a righteous cause, 00:48:50.740 |
immediately after he acknowledges, yes, I was wrong, 00:48:59.780 |
I remember during a period of the BLM marches, 00:49:05.980 |
all of a sudden, everybody opened their eyes, 00:49:10.180 |
And they said, you know, I repent of my racism. 00:49:37.480 |
but what's wrong with you, why don't you see it? 00:49:44.460 |
And it causes them to become blind to their own sin. 00:49:48.260 |
A self-righteous person is always more disgusted 00:49:51.140 |
by other people's sins than they are of their own. 00:50:07.940 |
why other people are not doing what I'm doing. 00:50:13.500 |
And as a result of that, in James chapter 4, 6, 00:50:16.660 |
is that therefore it says God is opposed to the proud, 00:50:31.100 |
Even their repentance is, look what I've done, 00:50:41.660 |
who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 00:50:44.580 |
Therefore bear fruits in keeping with repentance, 00:51:13.420 |
I studied that passage, I used to disciple people. 00:51:15.940 |
As a result of that, they are blind to their own sins. 00:51:21.020 |
We make our sins always more favorable than others. 00:51:36.980 |
Hear me clearly, God justifies a repentant sinner, 00:51:45.440 |
An unrepentant sinner always tries to justify his sin. 00:51:54.120 |
God calls us in repentance to justify a sinner 00:51:59.620 |
But an unrepentant sinner will always justify his own sin. 00:52:07.660 |
to what then shall I compare the men of this generation? 00:52:11.180 |
They are like children who sit in the marketplace 00:52:15.900 |
we play the flute for you, and you did not dance, 00:52:20.800 |
For John the Baptist has come eating no bread 00:52:23.980 |
and drinking no wine, and you say he has a demon. 00:52:29.720 |
and you say, behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, 00:52:34.020 |
In other words, every opportunity was given to you. 00:53:11.020 |
You've heard grace, and you've heard warning, 00:53:15.760 |
And the reason why is because when John the Baptist came, 00:53:22.460 |
Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 00:53:40.560 |
And then Jesus comes, and he was drinking and eating, 00:53:44.080 |
and he says, he's hanging out with the tax collectors. 00:53:47.760 |
So because he's a sinner, and because he's a demon, 00:54:00.800 |
is to disqualify the one who's bringing the message. 00:54:05.760 |
You know how that happens today in our culture? 00:54:14.680 |
you call it legalism, and you don't need to listen to it. 00:54:19.840 |
Question should be, does the Bible teach that? 00:54:40.640 |
you don't need to listen to anything that comes out. 00:54:48.800 |
But the question is, what does the Bible say? 00:55:16.300 |
I raised my hand, I was sorrowful, and I made a prayer. 00:55:20.880 |
Repentance isn't simply repenting over one act 00:55:26.340 |
Repentance is a rebellion that we lived under, 00:55:35.600 |
because sometimes we think repentance is like, 00:55:39.500 |
I lied and embezzled a business, so I repented. 00:55:43.340 |
Repentance that justified is returning your life 00:55:50.580 |
Living a life independent of God to pursue your own life 00:55:58.980 |
because what brought the judgment of sin to mankind? 00:56:06.680 |
Eve ate from the tree that she wasn't supposed to eat. 00:56:16.860 |
That was the rebellion that brought judgment to mankind. 00:56:19.660 |
They simply ate what God told them not to eat. 00:56:24.940 |
That, that's what brought the judgment of mankind? 00:56:36.880 |
God didn't want me to eat that, so I, you know, 00:56:39.220 |
I hope that mankind doesn't get judged for this. 00:56:41.920 |
What was it about that sin that was so hideous 00:56:57.300 |
that I'm going to live my life the way I want to live. 00:57:00.620 |
A rebellious life doesn't have to be shaking his fist 00:57:05.840 |
and hang a cross upside down and be a Satan worshiper. 00:57:18.740 |
I come to church, I'll do some things to be religious, 00:57:23.740 |
but you've never surrendered your life to Christ. 00:57:38.820 |
The word glory basically means the beauty, the weight. 00:57:48.720 |
is because we want to see his glory up close. 00:57:54.960 |
What causes us to worship is because we saw his glory. 00:57:58.560 |
But somebody who has never seen the beauty of Christ, 00:58:06.000 |
he, to this day, coveting everything that the world covets. 00:58:16.200 |
and you're pursuing everything that the world pursues, 00:58:19.080 |
and then you just sprinkle Jesus on everything. 00:58:26.520 |
would pack their bags and take their children 00:58:28.600 |
into remotest parts of jungle to share the gospel. 00:58:40.800 |
because he thinks it's going to bring greater glory to God. 00:58:44.200 |
You admire them, you praise them, but you don't understand. 00:58:47.200 |
You're always learning, but never able to come to the truth 00:59:03.080 |
Unrepentant person will always justify his own sins. 00:59:08.000 |
Why I do what I do is because of this, because of that. 00:59:13.140 |
You don't know the trauma that the church has caused. 00:59:19.720 |
And so as a result of that, you're justifying your sins. 00:59:26.420 |
Paul says, "I love because he first loved me." 00:59:35.480 |
I don't sin because somebody sinned against me. 00:59:48.620 |
So a Christian whose eyes have been open and repentant 00:59:52.020 |
can no longer say, "I sinned because they did this to me." 01:00:00.940 |
But an unrepentant sinner can never say that. 01:00:14.160 |
whatever brings the greatest pleasure in your life. 01:00:23.200 |
you've never surrendered your life to Christ. 01:00:25.480 |
And as a result of that, you learn, you study, 01:00:33.840 |
but you never come to true knowledge of Christ. 01:00:58.800 |
We're just being honest, we're being truthful. 01:01:08.560 |
When that child is inconvenient, it's no longer a baby. 01:01:19.320 |
because of the things that they covet in life, 01:01:22.140 |
the standard of living that they have chosen for their life, 01:01:25.680 |
and this child is going to somehow get in the way, 01:01:30.660 |
But the moment they want that child that's a baby, 01:01:36.800 |
And just by simply changing the term of how you use, 01:01:48.220 |
You can go to prison for double murder for killing a child, 01:02:02.140 |
they want to make it legal to even kill a child, 01:02:04.440 |
even after it's born, if the intention was to kill a child, 01:02:20.920 |
That we can call murder something inconvenient. 01:02:38.240 |
but that deception doesn't only happen at this extreme. 01:02:47.340 |
Where we're judging people, there's pride in our heart, 01:03:04.260 |
to judge the thoughts and intentions of our heart, 01:03:07.900 |
and the thoughts and intention of their hearts. 01:03:35.820 |
Just because you claim to be a Christian for 40 years 01:03:41.260 |
Only way to see God is if you repent of your sins 01:03:54.820 |
"Narrow and difficult is the path that leads to life." 01:04:00.340 |
John Owen says, "He that hath slight thoughts of sin 01:04:08.660 |
He never saw the glory of the gospel of Jesus Christ. 01:04:28.300 |
The scripture says, "All have sinned and fall short 01:04:30.940 |
"of the glory of Jesus Christ, or glory of God." 01:04:51.660 |
Everything that I do, every sin that we commit, 01:05:03.340 |
Just because you're born into it doesn't make it not sin, 01:05:09.220 |
Just because you have an inclination toward that 01:05:23.480 |
So when we repent, we're not just repenting of an act. 01:05:28.000 |
We're repenting of our rebellion against God. 01:05:30.960 |
You and I were created to be the image bearers of God. 01:05:34.560 |
But when we choose to live our life for our own pleasure, 01:05:37.780 |
for our own glory, we are in rebellion against God, 01:05:49.760 |
hears this message, and those of you who refuse to repent 01:06:03.600 |
Only those will thank me if you have to go to work. 01:06:06.200 |
You might not like it, but I did you a favor, 01:06:10.580 |
You're gonna get fired if you don't go to work. 01:06:38.520 |
"for I know my transgressions and my sin is ever before me. 01:06:54.440 |
Jesus said, "He who finds his life will lose it, 01:07:13.440 |
Everything that we do is in pursuit of better life. 01:07:20.060 |
because they think they're gonna have a better life. 01:07:22.020 |
You get education so that you can have a better life. 01:07:35.180 |
we have inalienable rights to pursue a better life, 01:07:39.860 |
but Jesus says, "Those who pursue their life will lose it, 01:07:43.800 |
"and those who surrender their life for my sake 01:08:02.100 |
that naturally doesn't want to have a better life. 01:08:04.120 |
They pursued all their life for a better life, 01:08:34.020 |
If pursuit of this life is going to bring true happiness, 01:08:45.100 |
"I have achieved," at least a larger percentage of them 01:08:51.600 |
Or at least they would be happier than the younger people. 01:09:04.360 |
God's statement is proven over and over again 01:09:08.400 |
in every single life who's in rebellion against God. 01:09:15.520 |
And to know this life, you must repent of your old life 01:09:31.660 |
"if you eat of my bread, you will never thirst, 01:09:51.360 |
the coveting the world, that if I have a better job, 01:10:03.080 |
'Cause that whole path of life led to misery. 01:10:15.320 |
to repeat the same confession that every single person 01:10:29.680 |
and live the rest of your life, as Paul said, 01:10:32.200 |
in light of the glory of the gospel of Jesus Christ, 01:10:36.080 |
everything become rubbish that I may know him 01:10:55.000 |
that those who have hardened their heart toward you, 01:11:00.960 |
your word would be the fire that causes them, 01:11:13.160 |
that the grip Satan has on their hearts and their lives, 01:11:16.580 |
that they would no longer live superficial Christian lives, 01:11:20.520 |
that doesn't look any different than the world, 01:11:43.420 |
that we may know, Father God, that we don't belong here, 01:11:51.540 |
that we may long and covet the coming of Christ 01:11:55.600 |
more than any other temptation in this world. 01:11:57.800 |
Lord, we repent that we may see the glory of who Christ is, 01:12:10.580 |
and worship him in spirit and in truth, amen. 01:15:07.840 |
Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling 01:15:12.720 |
and to make you stand in the presence of his glory, 01:15:17.360 |
To the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ, our Lord,
