16:16.000 --> 16:28.000 The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. 16:28.000 --> 16:39.000 Lift up your heads, O ye gates, even lift them up ye everlasting doors. 16:39.000 --> 16:45.000 And the King of glory shall come in. 16:45.000 --> 16:50.000 Who is this King of glory? 16:50.000 --> 16:57.000 The Lord of hosts. 16:57.000 --> 17:05.000 He is the King of glory, see ye love. 17:05.000 --> 17:09.000 Alright, excellent singing everybody. 17:09.000 --> 17:13.000 At this time we will pray for the offering. 17:13.000 --> 17:22.000 Amen. 17:43.000 --> 18:08.000 Alright, if everybody can open up their Bibles to 2 Corinthians chapter 5. 18:08.000 --> 18:12.000 We'll read the chapter of our customers, 2 Corinthians chapter 5. 18:12.000 --> 18:19.000 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, 18:19.000 --> 18:22.000 and a house not made of hands, eternal in the heavens. 18:22.000 --> 18:28.000 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven. 18:28.000 --> 18:32.000 If so be that being clothed, we shall not be found naked. 18:32.000 --> 18:39.000 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened, not for that we would be unclothed, 18:39.000 --> 18:44.000 but clothed upon, that morality might be swallowed up of life. 18:44.000 --> 18:51.000 Now he that hath wrought us for the self-seeming thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. 18:51.000 --> 18:58.000 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord. 18:58.000 --> 19:05.000 For we walk by faith, not by sight. We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, 19:05.000 --> 19:12.000 and to be present with the Lord. Wherefore we labor, that whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. 19:12.000 --> 19:19.000 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that every one may receive the things done in his body, 19:19.000 --> 19:22.000 according to that he have done, whether it be good or bad. 19:22.000 --> 19:27.000 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are made manifest unto God, 19:27.000 --> 19:30.000 and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences. 19:30.000 --> 19:36.000 For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, 19:36.000 --> 19:41.000 that ye may have somewhat to answer them which glory in appearance, and not in heart. 19:41.000 --> 19:47.000 For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God, or whether we be sober, it is for your cause. 19:47.000 --> 19:54.000 For the love of Christ constraineth us, because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then we are all dead, 19:54.000 --> 19:59.000 and that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, 19:59.000 --> 20:02.000 but unto him which died for them, and rose again. 20:02.000 --> 20:06.000 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh, 20:06.000 --> 20:12.000 yea though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. 20:12.000 --> 20:16.000 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. 20:16.000 --> 20:20.000 All things are passed away, behold all things are become new. 20:21.000 --> 20:26.000 And all things are of God, who have reconciled us unto himself by Jesus Christ, 20:26.000 --> 20:29.000 and have given to us the ministry of reconciliation, 20:29.000 --> 20:34.000 to which that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, 20:34.000 --> 20:40.000 not imputing their trespasses unto them, and have committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20:40.000 --> 20:46.000 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us, 20:46.000 --> 20:49.000 we pray you in Christ that be you reconciled to God, 20:49.000 --> 20:53.000 for he hath made him to be sinned for us, who knew no sin, 20:53.000 --> 20:57.000 that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. 20:57.000 --> 21:01.000 Brother Jake, if you can pray for the sermon. 21:08.000 --> 21:09.000 Amen. 21:09.000 --> 21:16.000 Well, first I just want to thank Pastor Thompson and Brother Remy 21:16.000 --> 21:21.000 for giving me the opportunity to preach behind this pulpit, it's a huge deal to me. 21:21.000 --> 21:26.000 I never even thought that I would preach a sermon in my life, 21:26.000 --> 21:32.000 because from the beginning I started this church I said there's no way I'm never going to preach, 21:32.000 --> 21:36.000 but praise God, you know, things change. 21:37.000 --> 21:43.000 Anyway, the title of my sermon today is the ministry of reconciliation, 21:43.000 --> 21:50.000 and the reason, the ministry of reconciliation, that's just a fancy word for soul winning, you know, 21:50.000 --> 21:56.000 our ministry is soul winning, you know, God has given to us that ministry. 21:56.000 --> 22:03.000 And the reason why I kind of, this sermon has been on my heart, 22:03.000 --> 22:09.000 is because our church takes this ministry really seriously, 22:09.000 --> 22:15.000 and like-minded churches, new IFB churches take this ministry very seriously, 22:15.000 --> 22:24.000 and if you haven't noticed, this year we have done more soul winning, 22:24.000 --> 22:27.000 and more soul winning events than we ever have at this church, 22:27.000 --> 22:33.000 with the new leadership we have here is very serious about doing more events, 22:33.000 --> 22:40.000 getting more people saved, just going out into all the world as much as we possibly can, 22:40.000 --> 22:48.000 I mean, just so far I wrote down a couple of marathons and kind of events that we've hosted, 22:48.000 --> 22:54.000 or we're going to be a part of, we got the mega marathon we're going to be a part of, 22:54.000 --> 22:58.000 and we're going to do that in Cheney April 4th, that's coming up, 22:58.000 --> 23:04.000 we have the Orofino Idaho marathon with Brother Akers and Brother Remy, 23:04.000 --> 23:08.000 they're kind of co-hosting that, that's going to be awesome, 23:08.000 --> 23:13.000 that's an Indian reservation, I guess it's really receptive, 23:14.000 --> 23:23.000 we went to the WSU, what was it, it was the college campus soul winning marathon that Pastor Shelley had put on, 23:23.000 --> 23:31.000 we ended up getting 19 salvations in what was it, 3 hours, so praise God for that, that is awesome, 23:31.000 --> 23:36.000 I'm so happy that we're doing new events, and it's just getting, I don't know about you guys, 23:36.000 --> 23:40.000 but it's firing me up a little more, that I've been fired up, you know, 23:40.000 --> 23:49.000 sometimes you can go through a little bit of a lowing, and with these events coming up, it's just, it fires you up, 23:49.000 --> 23:54.000 it's like that, it's that spiritual power bar, you know, if you're running a race, 23:54.000 --> 23:59.000 sometimes you need a little bit of a power bar or a cliff bar to keep you going, you know, 23:59.000 --> 24:06.000 and these things are likened into that, and then also, hopefully we'll continue doing that, 24:07.000 --> 24:14.000 the college campus soul winning yearly, that'd be great, because every single year, new kids come through, 24:14.000 --> 24:18.000 every single year, dear, can you turn me down just a little bit, 24:18.000 --> 24:26.000 we have the Cheney soul winning mini marathons we do once a month, or we try to do them once a month, 24:26.000 --> 24:33.000 sometimes other things come up, Brother Remy and I scouted the Colville Indian reservation, 24:33.000 --> 24:39.000 and it seemed just in the couple hours that we went out there, we got one salvation, 24:39.000 --> 24:45.000 but not a lot of people were answering the door, because it was like snowing outside, it was freezing, 24:45.000 --> 24:49.000 maybe it wasn't snowing, there's snow on the ground, it was pretty cold, 24:49.000 --> 24:56.000 but not a lot of people answered, but praise God, we got one salvation, and it was just completely crazy out there, 24:56.000 --> 25:01.000 they had, there's a lot of people that didn't even know about the resurrection of Christ, it was mind blowing, 25:01.000 --> 25:08.000 so they definitely need us to go out there, and then we have our standard Saturday and Sunday times, 25:08.000 --> 25:12.000 which we've been going strong faithfully ever since our church started, 25:12.000 --> 25:20.000 virtually every Saturday and Sunday, we have been faithful to that, 25:20.000 --> 25:27.000 and our church, this church started, I think, based on like a soul winning event, right, 25:28.000 --> 25:34.000 Pastor Thompson had met Pastor John Young at a soul winning marathon, 25:34.000 --> 25:40.000 and I mean our church was built on soul winning, so I mean, it's just, 25:40.000 --> 25:49.000 would it be sad that our church just continues soul winning every single week, every single year, just continue to go out, 25:50.000 --> 25:58.000 Anyway, let's get started there, like I said, the title of my sermon is The Ministry of Reconciliation, 25:58.000 --> 26:06.000 you can go ahead and go to 2 Corinthians 5 verse 18, that's where we'll start, 26:07.000 --> 26:13.000 2 Corinthians 5 verse 18, it says, 26:20.000 --> 26:27.000 and I'm just going to stop right there, and I'll just hit this first part of this verse, 26:27.000 --> 26:36.000 but the Bible says that God the Father had reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, 26:36.000 --> 26:43.000 so God the Father sent Jesus Christ down to this earth, Jesus lived a perfect life, 26:43.000 --> 26:50.000 he died on the cross, he was buried and rose again three days later to pay for our sins, 26:50.000 --> 26:58.000 and made reconciliation for us, and now, I want to get into like, what is reconciliation, 26:58.000 --> 27:06.000 well, reconciliation just means to make peace, like, this is kind of a silly example, 27:06.000 --> 27:13.000 but it's like you're bearing the hatchet, that's a lame example, but it's like, hey, there's reconciliation happening, 27:13.000 --> 27:22.000 there's something happening where that peace, there wasn't peace before, so there needed to be reconciliation, right? 27:22.000 --> 27:28.000 So the Bible says, before we were reconciled, we were not at peace with God, 27:28.000 --> 27:34.000 and my first point is, why is the unsaved world not at peace with God, right? 27:34.000 --> 27:43.000 So there had to be a point in our lives, in everybody's lives, where something was broken, right? 27:43.000 --> 27:51.000 And if you go to Romans 7 verse 9, you guys could go to Romans 7 verse 9, 27:51.000 --> 27:56.000 Apostle Paul talks about this in Romans 7 verse 9, he says, 28:05.000 --> 28:10.000 So Paul is talking about a time in his life when he was alive without the law once, 28:10.000 --> 28:19.000 meaning when a little baby is born, they are completely innocent, they don't know right from wrong, right? 28:19.000 --> 28:26.000 They don't have that knowledge of good and evil yet, so he was alive without the law once, 28:26.000 --> 28:32.000 so if a baby dies, they go straight to heaven because they've never sinned before, 28:32.000 --> 28:39.000 but it goes on to say, but when the commandment came, sin revived and died, 28:39.000 --> 28:45.000 so there's a point, there was a point in Paul's life when he knew right from wrong, 28:45.000 --> 28:54.000 once a child understands right from wrong, we're all born with a sin nature, right? 28:54.000 --> 29:00.000 So we're all going to screw up, the Bible says, for all of sin it comes short of the glory of God, right? 29:00.000 --> 29:11.000 But my point is that there is a point when a child is born, they don't understand right from wrong, right? 29:11.000 --> 29:16.000 But once they do understand right from wrong, they'll sin, and at that point they die, 29:16.000 --> 29:21.000 and it's not talking about a physical death, they don't just keel over and die the moment they sin, 29:21.000 --> 29:26.000 they could, but that's not what it's talking about, it's talking about a spiritual death, 29:26.000 --> 29:34.000 and at that point, that is when salvation is needed, that's when reconciliation is needed, 29:34.000 --> 29:42.000 the Bible says, for the wages of sin is death, so what we've earned for sin is death, 29:42.000 --> 29:47.000 and sin is the transgression of the law, so when we break God's commandments, that's a sin, 29:47.000 --> 29:52.000 the Bible says what we've earned for that sin is death, right? 29:52.000 --> 29:59.000 And it's talking about a spiritual death, right? 29:59.000 --> 30:05.000 Just like when God commanded Adam not to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, 30:05.000 --> 30:10.000 he said, for in the day that thou eatest thereof, thou shalt surely die, 30:10.000 --> 30:17.000 so eventually Adam did die, and if he would have never sinned, he would have never died, right? 30:17.000 --> 30:22.000 But in this story, the Bible's talking about a spiritual death, 30:22.000 --> 30:31.000 that the moment somebody sins, they die spiritually, because Adam did die that day spiritually, 30:31.000 --> 30:40.000 and at that point he needed a savior, and eventually, you know, Jesus clothed him with the skins, right? 30:40.000 --> 30:47.000 Which pictures Christ's righteousness applied on his account, he was saved, Adam got saved. 30:47.000 --> 30:57.000 So I wanted to show you here that the point that I was trying to drive home is the unsaved world is not at peace with God, 30:57.000 --> 31:06.000 why? Because we've sinned, because everybody eventually will sin if they don't die as a little child, right? 31:06.000 --> 31:14.000 So the Bible says in Ephesians 2, 1, And you, hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins? 31:14.000 --> 31:23.000 So the Bible is clear that the moment we sinned, before, obviously, before salvation, we are dead in trespasses and sins. 31:23.000 --> 31:33.000 But after you get saved, hey, you're alive forevermore, you can never die that second death, you're saved forever. 31:33.000 --> 31:37.000 So John, go ahead and turn to John 3, 36. 31:41.000 --> 31:45.000 John chapter 3, verse 36. 31:48.000 --> 31:55.000 The Bible reads, He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life, 31:55.000 --> 32:02.000 and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him. 32:02.000 --> 32:12.000 So the unsaved world, the unregenerate man, the Bible says the wrath of God is abiding on them, right? 32:12.000 --> 32:16.000 They need reconciliation. And that is a terrifying thought. 32:16.000 --> 32:21.000 I know when we're at the door, sometimes we'll warn people with this verse. 32:21.000 --> 32:26.000 Like, hey, you need to get saved because the Bible says the wrath of God is abiding on you. 32:26.000 --> 32:36.000 And the Bible says if somebody dies, if somebody dies without Christ, they die with themselves being dead in their trespasses and sins. 32:36.000 --> 32:40.000 They're immediately going to die and wake up in hell. 32:40.000 --> 32:46.000 Just like the story of the rich man and Lazarus burning in torment forever. 32:46.000 --> 32:51.000 The rich man lifted up his eyes being in hell saying, Father Abraham, 32:51.000 --> 32:59.000 you know, send Lazarus that he could dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue for I'm tormented in this flame. 32:59.000 --> 33:03.000 I mean, literally torment forever. 33:03.000 --> 33:12.000 And that that is and what causes that is is being dead in your trespasses and sins. 33:13.000 --> 33:24.000 And in Second Corinthians five, verse 11, it says, knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men, you know. 33:24.000 --> 33:31.000 We know what's coming. We know what's coming to the to the unregenerate man, the unsaved world. 33:31.000 --> 33:38.000 That's why we go out to the world because we love people and we want them to be saved from hell. 33:38.000 --> 33:40.000 We know the terror of the Lord. 33:40.000 --> 33:46.000 What a terrifying thought to know that, hey, you know, I think about this sometimes. 33:46.000 --> 33:56.000 I think about my coworkers and I'm like, I think about the fact like one day when we're witnessing the Great White Throne judgment, right? 33:56.000 --> 33:59.000 We're seeing the unsaved people get judged by their works. 33:59.000 --> 34:02.000 We don't get judged by our works at all. 34:02.000 --> 34:07.000 The unsaved world is being judged by their works at the Great White Throne judgment. 34:07.000 --> 34:10.000 But we're going to be there witnessing that. 34:10.000 --> 34:20.000 And and I think about sometimes I'll think about like a coworker and they look over at me and they're like, Ryan, why didn't you ever tell me? 34:20.000 --> 34:22.000 You know, and it's it's kind of a scary thought. 34:22.000 --> 34:25.000 And it just kind of pushes me to one. 34:25.000 --> 34:27.000 I don't know if that'll ever happen or whatever. 34:27.000 --> 34:28.000 But sometimes I think about it. 34:28.000 --> 34:31.000 I'm like, well, if that happens, I'm going to feel really bad. 34:31.000 --> 34:33.000 And I should have told them about Jesus. 34:33.000 --> 34:35.000 You know what I mean? 34:35.000 --> 34:41.000 And praise God that he led us live long enough to hear the gospel and get saved. 34:41.000 --> 34:49.000 You know, because I think about because I got saved later in life in 2019. 34:49.000 --> 34:53.000 And it's like, man, I've done so many dumb things in my life where I could have died. 34:54.000 --> 34:57.000 And if I would have died, I would have gone straight to hell. 34:57.000 --> 35:00.000 Deservably, because we all deserve to go to hell. 35:00.000 --> 35:09.000 Right. And praise God, he had mercy on all of us in here and let us live long enough to hear the gospel and get get saved. 35:09.000 --> 35:13.000 And it's because God, you know, God is not willing that any should perish. 35:13.000 --> 35:15.000 He doesn't want anybody to go to hell. 35:15.000 --> 35:23.000 And Second Peter three, if you go ahead and go to Second Peter three, verse nine. 35:23.000 --> 35:42.000 The Bible says in Second Peter three, nine, the Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness, but as long suffering to us were not willing that any should perish. 35:42.000 --> 35:53.000 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness, but as long suffering to us were not willing that any should perish. 35:53.000 --> 35:56.000 But that all should come to repentance. 35:56.000 --> 35:58.000 You know, God is not willing that any should perish. 35:58.000 --> 36:01.000 He's very long suffering with people. 36:01.000 --> 36:03.000 He was long suffering with us. 36:03.000 --> 36:06.000 Praise God for the people that get saved at a very young age. 36:06.000 --> 36:14.000 That is that is really awesome and reassuring because no matter what happens in their life, we know they're going to heaven no matter what. 36:14.000 --> 36:25.000 But I just I just thank God from time to time when it when it comes to my mind that I'm just so thankful that that he was long suffering with me. 36:25.000 --> 36:26.000 I mean, he was long suffering with you. 36:26.000 --> 36:30.000 He's long suffering with a lot of people in here that got saved later in life. 36:30.000 --> 36:32.000 Praise God. 36:33.000 --> 36:39.000 Point number two. So point number one was, hey, why why do we even need reconciliation? 36:39.000 --> 36:47.000 What was there had to be something happen to cause that peace to be broken, right? 36:47.000 --> 36:49.000 Because reconciliation is making peace. 36:49.000 --> 37:03.000 So in my first point, I explained, hey, the moment we sin, the moment we reach the age of accountability, we deserve our we sin and we deserve death. 37:03.000 --> 37:05.000 We deserve hell. 37:05.000 --> 37:07.000 The wages of sin is death. 37:07.000 --> 37:11.000 We're dead in our trespasses and sins. 37:11.000 --> 37:18.000 And my second point is that Jesus is the propitiation for our sins. 37:18.000 --> 37:22.000 Jesus is the propitiation for our sins. 37:22.000 --> 37:28.000 If you go ahead and go to first, John, two, two, I'll read first, John, four, ten. 37:28.000 --> 37:34.000 You guys go to first, John, two, verse two. 37:34.000 --> 37:50.000 The Bible says in first, John, four, ten, here in his love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his son to be the propitiation for our sins. 37:50.000 --> 37:55.000 So God, God, it's not that we love God first. 37:55.000 --> 38:02.000 It's that he loved us and he loved us so much that he sent Jesus Christ to die in our place for our sins. 38:02.000 --> 38:17.000 And where you guys are first, John, two, two, the Bible says, and he is the propitiation for our sins, not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 38:17.000 --> 38:22.000 Jesus is the propitiation for our sins in the Bible. 38:22.000 --> 38:25.000 I'll explain to you what a propitiation is. 38:25.000 --> 38:36.000 I kind of went through some definitions in the dictionary and a typical 18th century definition of propitiation. 38:36.000 --> 38:47.000 The word propitiation is the act of propitiating, the act of appeasing wrath and conciliating favor. 38:47.000 --> 38:50.000 So it's the appeasement. 38:50.000 --> 38:58.000 So Jesus' sacrifice on the cross appeased God's wrath, meaning it satisfied his wrath. 38:58.000 --> 39:09.000 And so the Bible, again, in first, John, two, two, it says, and he is the propitiation for our sins. 39:09.000 --> 39:14.000 So his sacrifice satisfied God's wrath for our sins, right? 39:14.000 --> 39:19.000 And not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 39:19.000 --> 39:25.000 So Jesus didn't just die for our particular sins or our sins only. 39:25.000 --> 39:27.000 He died for everybody's sins. 39:27.000 --> 39:32.000 He died for all the sins in the world, the big sins, the little sins. 39:32.000 --> 39:35.000 Jesus paid every sin, even the sin of suicide. 39:36.000 --> 39:45.000 I know when we're out soul winning, I always ask, I'm like, hey, God forbid if you took your own life, would God take away your salvation? 39:45.000 --> 39:52.000 And like 50 percent of the time they say, oh, yeah, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses. 39:52.000 --> 39:58.000 You know, everybody who puts their faith on Jesus, they're justified from all sin. 39:58.000 --> 40:01.000 And the Bible even said blessed is the man. 40:01.000 --> 40:16.000 It says, as David even also described the blessedness of the man unto whom God imputed righteousness without works, saying blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven and whose sins are covered. 40:16.000 --> 40:20.000 Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord will not impute sin. 40:20.000 --> 40:23.000 That's from A to Z. That's your past sins. 40:23.000 --> 40:24.000 That's your present sins. 40:24.000 --> 40:25.000 That's your future sins. 40:25.000 --> 40:26.000 Jesus paid for all the sin. 40:26.000 --> 40:36.000 And that's what kind of ticks me off about works based salvation when you're out there and people like to sprinkle in their own works. 40:36.000 --> 40:39.000 They're basically saying what Jesus did was not good enough. 40:39.000 --> 40:41.000 And it just really pisses me off. 40:41.000 --> 40:47.000 And it's I know sometimes when you're talking to somebody, they don't really understand what they're doing. 40:48.000 --> 40:54.000 Well, you got to have some change in your life or you got to you got to repent of some sin. 40:54.000 --> 40:55.000 No, that's garbage. 40:55.000 --> 40:59.000 What you're doing is adding your filthy righteousness. 40:59.000 --> 41:03.000 The Bible says all righteousnesses are as filthy rags before the Lord. 41:03.000 --> 41:15.000 So you're taking your filthy rag and adding it into Jesus is perfect, righteous blood, his perfect sacrifice, what he did for us and mixing it in. 41:15.000 --> 41:16.000 That's garbage. 41:16.000 --> 41:18.000 God's not going to accept that at all. 41:18.000 --> 41:21.000 It's all Jesus or nothing. 41:21.000 --> 41:29.000 And so Jesus sacrifice on the cross appeased or satisfied God's wrath. 41:29.000 --> 41:31.000 One hundred percent, one hundred percent satisfied. 41:31.000 --> 41:34.000 God doesn't need your, you know, works. 41:34.000 --> 41:39.000 He's not even going to accept that his wrath will not be satisfied by your works. 41:39.000 --> 41:41.000 Or if somebody were like, no, not Jesus. 41:41.000 --> 41:44.000 I'm going to go about establishing my own righteousness. 41:44.000 --> 41:47.000 Not going to work because God is a righteous judge. 41:47.000 --> 41:49.000 And I think Brother Jason taught me this out. 41:49.000 --> 41:59.000 So winning because some people be like, we give them the example of OK, so if you went before a judge and you're like, say you're on trial for murder, something really bad. 41:59.000 --> 42:00.000 Right. 42:00.000 --> 42:04.000 And you're like, hey, judge, you know, I quit murdering. 42:04.000 --> 42:07.000 I don't murder anybody anymore. 42:08.000 --> 42:09.000 I actually. 42:10.000 --> 42:12.000 Give blood and like plasma. 42:12.000 --> 42:15.000 So I'm like trying to, you know, restore life. 42:15.000 --> 42:16.000 Right. 42:16.000 --> 42:18.000 And I give to the poor. 42:18.000 --> 42:29.000 You know, I tie that church and mint and cumin and and, you know, I'll do all these wonderful things for the community. 42:29.000 --> 42:32.000 Is the judge going to say, all right, get out of here, man. 42:32.000 --> 42:33.000 What are you doing? 42:33.000 --> 42:34.000 Why are you even here anymore? 42:34.000 --> 42:36.000 No, you're not guilty. 42:36.000 --> 42:37.000 You're free to go. 42:37.000 --> 42:41.000 Absolutely not, because that wouldn't be a righteous judge. 42:41.000 --> 42:50.000 Maybe in some weird country they have some wicked judge like that, but it's not not righteous and it would not work. 42:50.000 --> 42:54.000 The crime you commit must be paid for. 42:54.000 --> 42:57.000 And God is a righteous judge. 42:57.000 --> 42:58.000 He doesn't let sin go. 42:58.000 --> 42:59.000 Right. 42:59.000 --> 43:04.000 So he's not going to accept your filthy rags as as a payment. 43:04.000 --> 43:11.000 The only payment he's going to accept is his son's perfect sacrifice, his death, burial and resurrection. 43:11.000 --> 43:12.000 Go to Romans five eight. 43:22.000 --> 43:31.000 Romans five eight says, But God commended his love toward us and that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 43:31.000 --> 43:35.000 So Jesus Christ died for us, meaning he took our place. 43:35.000 --> 43:39.000 He he took our place. 43:39.000 --> 43:42.000 He died in the place of our sins for us. 43:42.000 --> 43:43.000 Right. 43:43.000 --> 43:45.000 We deserve death and hell. 43:45.000 --> 43:48.000 But Jesus, he took our place for us. 43:48.000 --> 44:00.000 And I'm going to read to you first Corinthians fifteen three, because this is how this is how he you know, this is how he was able to make reconciliation. 44:00.000 --> 44:02.000 Is through his sacrifice. 44:02.000 --> 44:09.000 This is the propitiation is is what satisfied God's wrath. 44:09.000 --> 44:10.000 Right. 44:10.000 --> 44:16.000 So in first Corinthians fifteen one through four. 44:16.000 --> 44:27.000 Says, Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also you have received and wherein you stand by which also you are saved. 44:27.000 --> 44:31.000 If you keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless you have believed in vain. 44:31.000 --> 44:37.000 So he's saying, hey, you know, you're saved by the gospel unless you did not really believe. 44:37.000 --> 44:38.000 Right. 44:38.000 --> 44:40.000 Because if somebody says, hey, yeah, I believe in Jesus. 44:40.000 --> 44:44.000 And then two years later, they're like, no, I don't believe Jesus anymore. 44:44.000 --> 44:50.000 Now they're like hardcore worshiping Mary and bowing down to idols at the college church. 44:50.000 --> 44:52.000 You know that they believed in vain. 44:52.000 --> 44:54.000 Right. They didn't believe. 44:54.000 --> 45:10.000 And then in verse three, it says, for I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures that he was buried and that he rose again the third day according to scripture. 45:10.000 --> 45:16.000 So through Jesus's death, burial and resurrection, Jesus died on the cross. 45:16.000 --> 45:17.000 He was buried in the Bible. 45:17.000 --> 45:20.000 Even says his soul went down to hell for three days and three nights. 45:20.000 --> 45:23.000 The Bible says his soul was made an offering for sin. 45:23.000 --> 45:27.000 And Jonah is prophesied out of the belly of hell. 45:27.000 --> 45:37.000 Cried I write and in Acts two thirty one, it says he seen this before spake of the resurrection of Christ that his soul was not left in hell. 45:37.000 --> 45:40.000 Neither his flesh did see corruption. 45:40.000 --> 45:42.000 And then the next verse says this. 45:42.000 --> 45:46.000 Jesus have God raised up where of the all are witnesses. 45:46.000 --> 45:53.000 So Jesus, he didn't stay in hell because God, the father three days and three nights later raised Jesus from the dead. 45:53.000 --> 46:00.000 He walked out of the tomb victorious bodily record resurrection, conquering death and hell for us in our place. 46:00.000 --> 46:10.000 Just blows my mind even more how people try to sprinkle in their own works in that once his glorious, awesome, perfect sacrifice. 46:10.000 --> 46:13.000 Jesus's death, burial and resurrection. 46:13.000 --> 46:15.000 They think, oh, that wasn't good enough. 46:15.000 --> 46:19.000 I've got to I've got to add my own works in there to garbage. 46:21.000 --> 46:26.000 So and you know, this is how everyone throughout time has been saved. 46:26.000 --> 46:29.000 Jesus, he wasn't like a plan B. 46:29.000 --> 46:37.000 He wasn't there wasn't like different modes or salvation was not by works in the Old Testament. 46:37.000 --> 46:45.000 Because this sensationalism, they'll they'll they'll try to say, oh, yeah, there's a different salvation was by works in the Old Testament. 46:45.000 --> 46:48.000 Now, you know, in the New Testament, it's by faith. 46:48.000 --> 46:51.000 That's garbage. Jesus has always been the plan. 46:51.000 --> 46:58.000 And if you remember in the Garden of Eden, when Adam and Eve sinned, Jesus had to come. 46:58.000 --> 47:00.000 They didn't know the name of Jesus then. 47:00.000 --> 47:03.000 They look forward to the Savior. 47:03.000 --> 47:06.000 Right. And I'll show you that here in a minute. 47:06.000 --> 47:12.000 But the Bible says that Abraham believed God and it was counted to him for righteousness. 47:12.000 --> 47:18.000 That is the beginning dang near of the Old Testament. 47:18.000 --> 47:27.000 And Jesus is the lamb slain from before the foundation of the world or is the lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 47:27.000 --> 47:31.000 Excuse me. So Jesus has always been the plan. 47:31.000 --> 47:36.000 When in the Old Testament, they look forward to the cross. 47:36.000 --> 47:40.000 Now, us in the New Testament, we look back on the cross. 47:40.000 --> 47:49.000 Jesus has always, always been the way from Adam to the last person that who gets saved during the millennial reign of Christ. 47:49.000 --> 47:51.000 It's always going to be by faith in Jesus Christ. 47:51.000 --> 47:59.000 One hundred percent. Go to go to Acts 10, Acts 10, Acts 10, 42. 47:59.000 --> 48:13.000 We'll start 42. In Acts 10, Peter is preaching to Cornelius and Cornelius, he was a gentile that that he would he would prayer. 48:13.000 --> 48:20.000 He would pray to God and his alms and his deeds came up as a remembrance before the Lord. 48:20.000 --> 48:27.000 And God sent Peter to preach him the gospel. 48:27.000 --> 48:32.000 Right. It's Cornelius, his friends, his family. 48:32.000 --> 48:50.000 And in Acts 10, 42, it says, and he commanded us, this Peter saying, and he commanded us to preach unto the people and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the judge of quick and dead. 48:50.000 --> 49:04.000 Right. To him. In verse 43, it says to him, give all the prophets witness that through his name, whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. 49:04.000 --> 49:15.000 So. The prophets in the Old Testament, the Bible says to him talking about Jesus. 49:15.000 --> 49:19.000 The prophets gave witness to Jesus. 49:19.000 --> 49:27.000 Right. All the prophets gave witness to Jesus that through his name, whosoever believeth in him. 49:27.000 --> 49:29.000 Shall receive remission of sins. 49:29.000 --> 49:32.000 So it's always been by faith. 49:32.000 --> 49:35.000 The old all the prophets talk about the Savior. 49:35.000 --> 49:45.000 Right. All the prophets and even even even the rich man and Lazarus when he's in hell, Abraham says, Hey, you know, what does he say? 49:45.000 --> 49:47.000 He says, Go. 49:47.000 --> 49:50.000 He's like, they have Moses and the prophets. 49:50.000 --> 49:51.000 Let them hear them. 49:51.000 --> 49:57.000 Right. Because Moses and the prophets talked about, you know, the Savior. 49:57.000 --> 50:00.000 You know, the righteous servant, the Christ. 50:00.000 --> 50:03.000 Right. Let's go to Isaiah 53. 50:03.000 --> 50:11.000 And the reason why I'm going here is just showing you that, hey, Jesus has always been our reconciliation. 50:11.000 --> 50:14.000 Jesus has always been the plan. 50:14.000 --> 50:16.000 Jesus is the only Savior. 50:16.000 --> 50:19.000 He's always been the Savior. 50:19.000 --> 50:22.000 In the Old Testament, they look forward to the Savior. 50:22.000 --> 50:24.000 They put their faith in God. 50:24.000 --> 50:29.000 And now us in the New Testament, we look back on the cross. 50:29.000 --> 50:35.000 We put our faith in Jesus because in the in the New Testament, Jesus, the name of Jesus was revealed to us. 50:35.000 --> 50:40.000 Bible says, For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 50:40.000 --> 50:44.000 And Isaiah 53. 50:44.000 --> 50:54.000 And I just wanted to show you because the whole point of showing you this was was that reconciliation. 50:54.000 --> 50:57.000 Right. And reconciliation means peace. 50:57.000 --> 51:08.000 So I want to show you an Old Testament, an Old Testament passage where, you know, it kind of it just it shows us this right here. 51:08.000 --> 51:09.000 It's just perfect. 51:09.000 --> 51:13.000 I don't know what the Jews do with this verse or with this chapter. 51:13.000 --> 51:15.000 But guess what? The Jews don't believe the Bible. 51:15.000 --> 51:17.000 So whatever. 51:17.000 --> 51:27.000 Isaiah 53, starting in verse five, I was going to read the whole chapter, but for the sake of time, I don't think we can. 51:27.000 --> 51:35.000 Isaiah 53, starting in verse five, But he was wounded for our transgressions. 51:35.000 --> 51:38.000 He was bruised for our iniquities. 51:38.000 --> 51:46.000 The chastisement of our peace was upon him and with his stripes, we are healed. 51:46.000 --> 51:53.000 Right. So the chastisement, Jesus was chastised for our peace so we could be saved. 51:53.000 --> 51:59.000 Right. And another word for peace is to be reconciled. 51:59.000 --> 52:07.000 And in verse 10, if you want to jump down to verse 10, it says, yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him. 52:07.000 --> 52:15.000 Remember, the Bible is clear that that God's wrath is satisfied. 52:15.000 --> 52:21.000 Right. Through Jesus's sacrifice, it says, yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him. 52:21.000 --> 52:27.000 He had put him to grief when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin. 52:27.000 --> 52:29.000 He shall see his seed. 52:29.000 --> 52:35.000 He shall prolong his days and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. 52:35.000 --> 52:43.000 Verse 11 says, he shall see the travail of his soul and shall be satisfied. 52:43.000 --> 52:57.000 So God is satisfied. God the Father is satisfied by Jesus's travail, his sacrifice, his death, burial and resurrection. 52:57.000 --> 53:03.000 God the Father is satisfied. Meaning, meaning that that's propitiation. Right. 53:03.000 --> 53:08.000 He's 100% satisfied and that's the only thing that he'll accept. 53:08.000 --> 53:16.000 And it goes on to say, by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many, for he shall bear their iniquities. 53:16.000 --> 53:22.000 So Jesus, you know, he bore our iniquities. He wasn't paying for his own sin on the cross because he had no sin. 53:22.000 --> 53:29.000 He was paying for our sin. Right. He bled and died on the cross bearing our sin. 53:29.000 --> 53:38.000 Right. Shall bear their iniquities. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great and he shall divide the spoil with the strong. 53:38.000 --> 53:43.000 Because he hath poured out his soul unto death. 53:43.000 --> 53:46.000 He was numbered with the transgressors. 53:46.000 --> 53:54.000 And that's clearly talking about Jesus because Jesus, you know, was, he had the thief on the right and the thief on the left hand. 53:54.000 --> 54:00.000 Right. He was numbered with them. Right. Hanging on the cross. 54:00.000 --> 54:08.000 And he was and it says, and he bear the sin of many and made intercession for the transgressors. 54:08.000 --> 54:18.000 So Jesus Christ intercedes for us. You know, the Bible says there's one mediator between man, between God and man, the man Christ Jesus. 54:18.000 --> 54:20.000 That's it. 54:20.000 --> 54:28.000 And I want to move on here. So in Colossians, Chapter one, go ahead and go to Colossians, Chapter one and we'll go to verse one. 54:28.000 --> 54:46.000 Colossians one, verse twenty. 54:46.000 --> 55:01.000 The Bible reads and having made peace through the blood of his cross by him to reconcile all things unto himself by him, I say, whether they be things in earth or things in heaven. 55:01.000 --> 55:07.000 And you that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works. 55:07.000 --> 55:23.000 Yet now have he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death to present you holy and unblemable and unreprobable in his sight. 55:23.000 --> 55:29.000 So, Jesus, he made peace through the blood of his cross. And we hit this point so many times. 55:29.000 --> 55:34.000 And I think you guys clearly understand, but it's just incredible. 55:34.000 --> 55:54.000 And there's there's hundreds of verses like this, but it's it's so clear that, you know, that reconciliation that his propitiation that he did that appeased God's wrath through his sacrifice, you know, 55:54.000 --> 56:01.000 and making a way for us to be reconciled through faith in him. 56:01.000 --> 56:07.000 Now, Second Corinthians five, it says in five twenty one, I'll just read it for you. 56:07.000 --> 56:17.000 It says, for he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. 56:18.000 --> 56:26.000 Right. So Bible says right here, it says that to present you holy and unblemable and unreprobable in his sight. 56:26.000 --> 56:35.000 And then in Second Corinthians five, it says, for he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. 56:35.000 --> 56:40.000 So Jesus took our sin and nailed it to the cross. 56:40.000 --> 56:44.000 And he takes his righteousness and he imputes it unto us. 56:44.000 --> 56:50.000 Right. So when God the Father looks down, he doesn't see, you know, sinful Ryan up here. 56:50.000 --> 56:54.000 He sees, you know, the righteousness of Jesus Christ. 56:54.000 --> 56:56.000 You know, he sees the new man. 56:56.000 --> 57:12.000 Right. In John three, sixteen, it's probably quoted, obviously, says, for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, 57:12.000 --> 57:23.000 but have everlasting life. So the ultimate act of love that God did was that, you know, God showed his love to the world by sending his son, Jesus Christ, 57:23.000 --> 57:28.000 into the world to be payment for our sins. 57:28.000 --> 57:36.000 Right. And it's that reconciliation is available to whosoever believes on him. 57:36.000 --> 57:40.000 Right. So reconciliation is available to everybody. 57:40.000 --> 57:44.000 Right. The thing is to receive that reconciliation because it's not automatic. 57:44.000 --> 57:46.000 It's, you know, we ask people out. 57:46.000 --> 57:51.000 So when you know, Jesus paid for all your sins, you pay for everybody's sins. 57:51.000 --> 57:54.000 Does that mean everybody's automatically going to heaven? 57:54.000 --> 58:01.000 No, because you have to believe on Christ alone to get that reconciliation. 58:01.000 --> 58:02.000 Right. Yeah. 58:02.000 --> 58:18.000 You know, and at that moment, the moment we believe our dead spirit, our dead spirit that was dead and trespassing trespasses and sins was quickened, meaning it was made alive. 58:18.000 --> 58:21.000 Right. That's where the term born again comes from. 58:21.000 --> 58:26.000 So you're born one time into the world by your mother that gives birth to you. 58:26.000 --> 58:29.000 And then you're born again by faith in Jesus Christ. 58:29.000 --> 58:39.000 The Bible says in John one, twelve says, but as many as received him to them gave the power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. 58:39.000 --> 58:45.000 So once you put your faith in Jesus, once you believe on Jesus, his name, you're born. 58:45.000 --> 58:49.000 You're a child of God. That's where the born again comes from. 58:49.000 --> 58:53.000 Right. And then what's born is that new man. 58:53.000 --> 58:58.000 Right. You get the new man inside of you and the new man does not sin at all. 58:58.000 --> 59:02.000 Right. Our flesh. We we sin every single day. 59:02.000 --> 59:11.000 And that's what kind of ticks me off about, you know, they take this verse and I'm sorry, I don't mean to backtrack me. 59:11.000 --> 59:13.000 You know, it's my first sermon. Give me a little grace. 59:14.000 --> 59:22.000 But they take this verse where it says, therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. 59:22.000 --> 59:27.000 Old things are passed away. Behold, all things are become new. 59:27.000 --> 59:33.000 They take that verse and they say, well, see, it says all things have become new. 59:33.000 --> 59:36.000 That means you're going to live a perfect sinless life. 59:36.000 --> 59:38.000 That means you're never going to sin again. 59:38.000 --> 59:44.000 You know, these psychos that, you know, preach sinless perfection, which is complete garbage. 59:44.000 --> 59:53.000 But when you got saved, did your blemishes in your arms and all the things that are wrong with your body, did they just become new? 59:53.000 --> 59:59.000 It's like, no, absolutely not. What becomes new is the new man that's inside of you. 59:59.000 --> 01:00:02.000 It's regenerated. Right. 01:00:02.000 --> 01:00:07.000 You're yeah, you're regenerated. The spirit that was dead is made alive. 01:00:07.000 --> 01:00:11.000 You got the new man. The Bible says whatsoever is born of God. 01:00:11.000 --> 01:00:14.000 Sin it not. Right. And what's born of God? 01:00:14.000 --> 01:00:18.000 Us. Yeah. Got the new man. Yep. 01:00:18.000 --> 01:00:27.000 And you know what ticks me off, though, is that what they don't realize, if that were true, what's what's the need for the resurrection? 01:00:28.000 --> 01:00:32.000 If they just get in, if they're like, oh, you know, all things have become new. 01:00:32.000 --> 01:00:36.000 You get a new body, get everything's regenerate your flash. 01:00:36.000 --> 01:00:40.000 Never going to sin. Why? What's that? Yeah. 01:00:40.000 --> 01:00:44.000 It's the resurrection. It's garbage. It's 100 percent garbage. 01:00:44.000 --> 01:00:52.000 You know, they're going to die one day and they're going to go straight to hell because what they believe is damn double Harrison. 01:00:52.000 --> 01:00:56.000 And the thing is, our flesh will die one day. 01:00:56.000 --> 01:01:00.000 But our spirit, the new man straight to heaven. 01:01:00.000 --> 01:01:04.000 The new man does not sin. This flesh, this flesh is busted. 01:01:04.000 --> 01:01:07.000 This flesh is sinful. It's going to go straight to the earth. 01:01:07.000 --> 01:01:13.000 We're going to be buried. But at the resurrection of the just, we're getting a new body. 01:01:13.000 --> 01:01:21.000 You know, praise God. So and then also we're sealed with the Holy Spirit until the day of redemption. 01:01:21.000 --> 01:01:27.000 Right. So we got the new man. We're sealed with the Holy Spirit under the day of redemption. 01:01:27.000 --> 01:01:32.000 We're children of God. And point three. 01:01:32.000 --> 01:01:39.000 So that was my my second point was, you know, Jesus is a propitiation for our sins. 01:01:39.000 --> 01:01:43.000 Right. So he made that appeasement. 01:01:43.000 --> 01:01:46.000 He sacrificed himself to appease God's wrath. Right. 01:01:47.000 --> 01:01:50.000 And that God, the father sent him to do that. 01:01:50.000 --> 01:01:54.000 And he fulfilled all righteousness. He filled the father's will. 01:01:54.000 --> 01:02:03.000 And my third point is the ministry of reconciliation is given to us. 01:02:03.000 --> 01:02:10.000 It wasn't given to Joe Schmo down the road that can just pick up the Bible and read it and get saved. 01:02:10.000 --> 01:02:14.000 It wasn't given to Judas Iscariot, Manly Perry. 01:02:14.000 --> 01:02:19.000 It wasn't it wasn't given to fill in the blank. 01:02:19.000 --> 01:02:21.000 It was given to saved Christians. 01:02:27.000 --> 01:02:31.000 God only uses saved people to get people saved. 01:02:31.000 --> 01:02:40.000 And back in Second Corinthians five, five, eighteen, the second part of that verse. 01:02:40.000 --> 01:02:46.000 So it says all things are of God who have reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ. 01:02:46.000 --> 01:02:52.000 The second part says and have given to us the ministry of reconciliation. 01:02:52.000 --> 01:02:56.000 Right. So this ministry was given to us. 01:02:56.000 --> 01:03:03.000 And it goes on to say in verse 19 to wit that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, 01:03:03.000 --> 01:03:12.000 not imputing their trespasses unto them and have committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 01:03:12.000 --> 01:03:17.000 So just as God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, 01:03:17.000 --> 01:03:26.000 the Bible says that God had committed unto us the ministry or the word of reconciliation. 01:03:26.000 --> 01:03:31.000 And to commit something unto somebody, it means you're entrusting them with it. 01:03:31.000 --> 01:03:36.000 Right. You're giving it into their care, their responsibility, their keeping. 01:03:36.000 --> 01:03:39.000 Just like this. This is a horrible example. 01:03:39.000 --> 01:03:49.000 What if I said I committed my saving my life savings to Bank of America savings account to the Jews. 01:03:49.000 --> 01:03:54.000 What I'm doing is entrusting them with my savings. 01:03:54.000 --> 01:03:58.000 Right. So there's a lot of different meetings for the word commit. 01:03:58.000 --> 01:04:01.000 As you could say, hey, he committed suicide. 01:04:01.000 --> 01:04:04.000 Hey, you got to commit when you jump this jump. 01:04:04.000 --> 01:04:08.000 Or I can't think of any more right now. 01:04:08.000 --> 01:04:11.000 But there's. Yeah, exactly. 01:04:11.000 --> 01:04:14.000 So there's committed, committed, you know, different meetings. 01:04:14.000 --> 01:04:19.000 But in this context, it means that it's entrusted to us. 01:04:19.000 --> 01:04:22.000 No, God had committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 01:04:22.000 --> 01:04:27.000 He entrusted it to us. So it's a big deal. 01:04:27.000 --> 01:04:33.000 It's not like it's not like the world is just going to get saved. 01:04:33.000 --> 01:04:39.000 Like angels are going to come down from heaven and start preaching the gospel to people. 01:04:39.000 --> 01:04:42.000 It's not going to happen. God gave it to us. 01:04:42.000 --> 01:04:45.000 Right. So we have to do the work. 01:04:45.000 --> 01:04:48.000 And if we don't, people aren't going to get saved. 01:04:48.000 --> 01:04:50.000 We're still going to heaven. We got the gift. 01:04:50.000 --> 01:04:53.000 We got the gift. Right. We believed on Christ. 01:04:53.000 --> 01:04:55.000 We got the gift. We're going to heaven. 01:04:55.000 --> 01:05:00.000 But if we don't go out into the world, the world's not going to get saved. 01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:08.000 Unfortunately, people are like, so you're saying that that people that just never heard the gospel before would go to hell. 01:05:08.000 --> 01:05:12.000 Yes. Yes, it's true, because they're sinners. 01:05:12.000 --> 01:05:14.000 So it should press you. It should read. 01:05:14.000 --> 01:05:18.000 It should constrain you to go and preach the gospel. 01:05:18.000 --> 01:05:21.000 Just because if we don't do it, who's going to do it? 01:05:25.000 --> 01:05:36.000 So Jesus says in John 20 21, just like God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself. 01:05:38.000 --> 01:05:42.000 Jesus sent us just like the father sent him. Right. 01:05:42.000 --> 01:05:52.000 John 20 21 says, Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you. 01:05:52.000 --> 01:05:56.000 And this is after Jesus had arose again. 01:05:56.000 --> 01:06:00.000 This is before his ascension to heaven. 01:06:00.000 --> 01:06:05.000 Says, Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you. 01:06:05.000 --> 01:06:10.000 As my father hath sent me, even so send I you. 01:06:10.000 --> 01:06:14.000 So in the same way, God the Father sent Jesus Christ into the world. 01:06:14.000 --> 01:06:19.000 Jesus is sending us into the world as well. 01:06:19.000 --> 01:06:31.000 So go ahead and go to 2 Corinthians 520 and I'll read Colossians 1 27. 01:06:32.000 --> 01:06:36.000 Colossians 1 27 says, To whom God would make known, 01:06:36.000 --> 01:06:41.000 What is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles? 01:06:41.000 --> 01:06:45.000 Which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. 01:06:45.000 --> 01:06:49.000 So I just wanted to show you a proof text that Christ is in us. 01:06:49.000 --> 01:06:55.000 You know, just like God the Father was in Christ and he was reconciling us, 01:06:55.000 --> 01:06:58.000 or reconciling the world unto himself. 01:06:58.000 --> 01:07:01.000 The Bible is clear that Christ is in us. 01:07:01.000 --> 01:07:06.000 Now we're going out to preach that word of reconciliation. 01:07:06.000 --> 01:07:14.000 And in 2 Corinthians 520 says, Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, 01:07:14.000 --> 01:07:18.000 As though God did beseech you by us. 01:07:18.000 --> 01:07:22.000 We pray you in Christ's stead be reconciled. 01:07:22.000 --> 01:07:26.000 So not only is Christ in us, 01:07:26.000 --> 01:07:30.000 but we are also ambassadors for Christ, 01:07:30.000 --> 01:07:36.000 meaning we are representing Jesus Christ on this earth. 01:07:36.000 --> 01:07:39.000 Because Jesus, he went to heaven obviously. 01:07:39.000 --> 01:07:42.000 He ascended to heaven, he's at the right hand of God the Father. 01:07:42.000 --> 01:07:50.000 And he has given this ministry unto us that we can continue the work that he started, right? 01:07:51.000 --> 01:07:56.000 So I forgot where it is in the Bible, but Jesus says, 01:07:56.000 --> 01:08:00.000 he's like, I'm going to misquote it, 01:08:00.000 --> 01:08:05.000 but basically he says that greater works, basically what you guys do, 01:08:05.000 --> 01:08:07.000 because I go to the Father. 01:08:07.000 --> 01:08:11.000 Not saying that the works are going to be better, it's just going to say more. 01:08:11.000 --> 01:08:15.000 We're going to be able to do more because we're still on this earth. 01:08:15.000 --> 01:08:18.000 Jesus went to heaven so he left this job up to us. 01:08:18.000 --> 01:08:21.000 So we're ambassadors for Christ, 01:08:21.000 --> 01:08:26.000 and we're basically telling people in Christ's stead, 01:08:26.000 --> 01:08:30.000 hey, be reconciled, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. 01:08:32.000 --> 01:08:35.000 And God has given every saved Christian this ministry. 01:08:35.000 --> 01:08:39.000 It's not, so don't count yourself out. 01:08:39.000 --> 01:08:42.000 Don't be like, hey, I could never do this. 01:08:42.000 --> 01:08:44.000 You know, this is not my thing. 01:08:44.000 --> 01:08:47.000 Hey, God's given you guys, everybody. 01:08:47.000 --> 01:08:50.000 He's given every saved Christian this ministry. 01:08:50.000 --> 01:08:54.000 So don't try to talk yourself out of it, 01:08:54.000 --> 01:08:58.000 because you know, and if God gave you this ministry, 01:08:58.000 --> 01:09:04.000 do you think God is going to be willing to help you do this? 01:09:04.000 --> 01:09:05.000 You know what I mean? 01:09:05.000 --> 01:09:06.000 He's going to be there. 01:09:06.000 --> 01:09:10.000 You could pray to God, be like, God, you want me to go soul winning. 01:09:10.000 --> 01:09:12.000 You want me to be able to preach the gospel. 01:09:12.000 --> 01:09:14.000 I need your help. 01:09:14.000 --> 01:09:17.000 He's going to do it, because he's the one who gave us this ministry. 01:09:17.000 --> 01:09:19.000 He's not going to leave us high and dry. 01:09:19.000 --> 01:09:21.000 No shock. 01:09:22.000 --> 01:09:30.000 Every man, woman, you know, boy, girl, black, yellow, red, purple, everybody, 01:09:30.000 --> 01:09:36.000 every saved Christian, God, and God only uses saved people to get people saved. 01:09:36.000 --> 01:09:40.000 And I already went through a couple of these other points, 01:09:40.000 --> 01:09:42.000 so I'm just going to move on. 01:09:42.000 --> 01:09:45.000 Also, let's see. 01:09:55.000 --> 01:09:56.000 Okay. 01:09:59.000 --> 01:10:03.000 Yeah, so on the point that that God has given this, 01:10:03.000 --> 01:10:06.000 he's given us the job to go soul winning. 01:10:06.000 --> 01:10:09.000 He's given us the job to go preach the gospel. 01:10:09.000 --> 01:10:17.000 It's because, you know, the natural man, he can't pick up the Bible and just pick up, 01:10:17.000 --> 01:10:19.000 or like we leave a track at the door. 01:10:19.000 --> 01:10:24.000 He can't just pick up the track and read the steps on the back and get saved. 01:10:24.000 --> 01:10:25.000 That's not how it works. 01:10:25.000 --> 01:10:27.000 And I'll tell you why. 01:10:27.000 --> 01:10:29.000 But I believe it'll plant a seed. 01:10:29.000 --> 01:10:34.000 I believe any amount of the word of God, somebody, you know, 01:10:34.000 --> 01:10:38.000 like people in my past that weren't saved telling me a Bible verse, 01:10:38.000 --> 01:10:39.000 those things kind of stick with you. 01:10:39.000 --> 01:10:43.000 You hear John 3.16 your whole life, that sticks with you. 01:10:43.000 --> 01:10:53.000 And anyway, the reason why an unsaved, unregenerate person cannot pick up the Bible 01:10:53.000 --> 01:11:00.000 and just crack it open and read it and get saved is because the Bible says, 01:11:00.000 --> 01:11:03.000 and go ahead and go to 1 Corinthians 2.11. 01:11:08.000 --> 01:11:15.000 I'll try to wrap these last points up. 01:11:15.000 --> 01:11:17.000 I'm surprised this is lasting this long. 01:11:17.000 --> 01:11:20.000 I'm trying to manage time. 01:11:20.000 --> 01:11:21.000 This is hard. 01:11:21.000 --> 01:11:26.000 All right. 01:11:26.000 --> 01:11:29.000 I didn't set a timer or anything. 01:11:29.000 --> 01:11:36.000 But, so the reason why an unsaved guy can't just pick up the Bible and read it is because 01:11:36.000 --> 01:11:38.000 in 1 Corinthians, where did I have to go? 01:11:38.000 --> 01:11:41.000 1 Corinthians 2.11 says, 01:11:55.000 --> 01:11:59.000 So, and then if you go to 1 Corinthians 2.14, 01:11:59.000 --> 01:12:08.000 But you have to have the Spirit of God to know the things that the Spirit of God is saying, right? 01:12:08.000 --> 01:12:11.000 The Bible is a spiritual book. 01:12:11.000 --> 01:12:12.000 The Bible is alive. 01:12:12.000 --> 01:12:15.000 The words of God, those are living words, right? 01:12:15.000 --> 01:12:17.000 It's a spiritual book. 01:12:17.000 --> 01:12:23.000 If that man does not have the Spirit of God in him, he can't understand those things 01:12:23.000 --> 01:12:29.000 because the Bible says, hey, for what man knoweth the things of man, 01:12:29.000 --> 01:12:32.000 save the Spirit of man which is in him, right? 01:12:32.000 --> 01:12:38.000 So, mankind, we can relate on a personal level, just like when people go to a psychiatrist or something. 01:12:38.000 --> 01:12:44.000 They can click together because that person understands that person's spirit. 01:12:44.000 --> 01:12:45.000 We get each other, right? 01:12:45.000 --> 01:12:46.000 We understand. 01:12:46.000 --> 01:12:47.000 We can relate. 01:12:47.000 --> 01:12:52.000 But with the things of the Spirit of God, you have to have the Holy Spirit to understand those things. 01:12:52.000 --> 01:12:53.000 100%. 01:12:53.000 --> 01:12:57.000 So, an unsaved guy, they can't pick up the Bible and read it and get saved 01:12:57.000 --> 01:13:02.000 because they don't have the Spirit of God dwelling in them to reveal those things unto them, right? 01:13:02.000 --> 01:13:05.000 And it says in 1 Corinthians 2.14, it says, 01:13:05.000 --> 01:13:06.000 It says, 01:13:18.000 --> 01:13:19.000 Right? 01:13:19.000 --> 01:13:23.000 That natural man, the unregenerate man, meaning they were not born again, 01:13:23.000 --> 01:13:26.000 they do not have the Holy Spirit inside them, 01:13:26.000 --> 01:13:29.000 the things that he reads on the page are foolishness unto him, 01:13:29.000 --> 01:13:34.000 meaning it's just he doesn't get the spiritual meanings, right? 01:13:34.000 --> 01:13:36.000 He can read the words on the page. 01:13:36.000 --> 01:13:42.000 He can give you facts, but the spiritual cannot understand. 01:13:42.000 --> 01:13:48.000 Like, even when it says to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved, 01:13:48.000 --> 01:13:50.000 he can't grasp that. 01:13:50.000 --> 01:13:53.000 He doesn't understand that it's 100%. 01:13:53.000 --> 01:14:00.000 You've got to not trust in any of your works and only believe on Christ alone, his sacrifice. 01:14:00.000 --> 01:14:02.000 That's what saves you. 01:14:02.000 --> 01:14:08.000 He's not going to understand those things, and he's not going to understand it because the Bible says so. 01:14:08.000 --> 01:14:16.000 And in Acts, and I remember before I was saved, you know, I tried picking up the Bible a few times, 01:14:16.000 --> 01:14:20.000 and I was like, yeah, I'm going to start in Matthew, I'm going to read the Revelation, 01:14:20.000 --> 01:14:25.000 because I was listening to Pastor Anderson and Brother Jimenez, I was listening to them, 01:14:25.000 --> 01:14:30.000 and I was really loving it, and I was like, yes, I need to read my Bible. 01:14:30.000 --> 01:14:36.000 And I was reading my King James Bible, and it just was not like I could read the page, 01:14:36.000 --> 01:14:42.000 but now after getting saved, it's just like, boom, like so many things pop out, you know. 01:14:42.000 --> 01:14:45.000 You understand these things a lot. 01:14:45.000 --> 01:14:53.000 In Acts 8, and I just want to give you a good story from the Bible that proves, 01:14:53.000 --> 01:15:00.000 and this is a real life example of like, hey, this guy here, the Ethiopian eunuch, is reading the Bible. 01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:01.000 He's reading Isaiah. 01:15:01.000 --> 01:15:07.000 He's reading the chapter we just read in Isaiah 53, and he's confused. 01:15:07.000 --> 01:15:11.000 So I just want to show you, hang with me, guys. 01:15:11.000 --> 01:15:14.000 I only have a couple more pages here. 01:15:14.000 --> 01:15:17.000 In Acts 8, 830, it says, 01:15:24.000 --> 01:15:29.000 So Philip's saying to the Ethiopian eunuch, he's like, hey, do you know what you're reading? 01:15:29.000 --> 01:15:31.000 Do you understand what you're reading? 01:15:31.000 --> 01:15:33.000 And in verse 31, and he said, 01:15:44.000 --> 01:15:52.000 So the guy is saying, hey, how can I understand these things unless somebody comes and shows me what I'm looking at here? 01:15:52.000 --> 01:15:57.000 And the place of the scripture which he read was this. 01:15:57.000 --> 01:16:04.000 He was led as a sheep to the slaughter and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth. 01:16:04.000 --> 01:16:08.000 In his humiliation, his judgment was taken away. 01:16:08.000 --> 01:16:12.000 And who shall declare his generation for his life was taken from the earth? 01:16:12.000 --> 01:16:21.000 And the eunuch answered Philip and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this, of himself or some other man? 01:16:21.000 --> 01:16:25.000 So you can see as he's reading him, the Bible, he still doesn't get it, right? 01:16:25.000 --> 01:16:29.000 He's like, hey, who's he talking about here? Is he talking about himself? 01:16:29.000 --> 01:16:32.000 Is he talking about somebody else? What's going on? 01:16:32.000 --> 01:16:35.000 And the Bible, in verse 35, it says, 01:16:42.000 --> 01:16:49.000 So Philip preaches in the gospel because he needed, and even before in the, the, the, the, in Acts 8, 01:16:49.000 --> 01:16:53.000 the Holy Ghost tells Philip to go join myself to this chariot. 01:16:53.000 --> 01:16:59.000 Well, if the Ethiopian eunuch could have got saved by himself just cracking open the scriptures, 01:16:59.000 --> 01:17:03.000 the Holy Ghost went and told Philip to go join himself to the chariot. 01:17:03.000 --> 01:17:12.000 So the point is that they need a soul winner to show them the gospel, to reveal these things unto them. 01:17:12.000 --> 01:17:14.000 Because we have the Holy Ghost. 01:17:14.000 --> 01:17:16.000 Obviously, we talked about this. 01:17:16.000 --> 01:17:18.000 He guides us into all truth. 01:17:18.000 --> 01:17:29.000 And as we're preaching the gospel to people at the door, that person is being made partaker with the Holy Ghost. 01:17:29.000 --> 01:17:36.000 Just like Hebrews 6 says, because it says that they were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, right? 01:17:36.000 --> 01:17:42.000 Because when we're preaching with them, the whole, or preaching to them the gospel, the Holy Ghost is working on their heart, 01:17:42.000 --> 01:17:45.000 you know, trying to get them to understand these things. 01:17:45.000 --> 01:17:50.000 And hopefully the light bulb goes off and they receive it with gladness, right? 01:17:50.000 --> 01:17:57.000 But it's scary when the light bulb goes off, they understand it and they're like, no, I can't believe that. 01:17:57.000 --> 01:18:02.000 You know, I've had that happen a couple times and it's, it's really scary because, you know, 01:18:02.000 --> 01:18:10.000 the Bible says that if they're made partakers and they were enlightened, if they shall turn away, you know, 01:18:10.000 --> 01:18:14.000 basically they're doomed, they're reprobate. 01:18:17.000 --> 01:18:24.000 And I just wanted to kind of, I think, yeah, hold on, let me, let me try to talk this out here. 01:18:24.000 --> 01:18:27.000 Everything brings forth after its own kind. 01:18:27.000 --> 01:18:34.000 So a unregenerate person cannot bring forth fruit unto God, right? 01:18:34.000 --> 01:18:38.000 Everything brings forth after its own kind, even trees. 01:18:38.000 --> 01:18:42.000 It's crazy. You got a tree, I remember, and it did bring forth fruit. 01:18:42.000 --> 01:18:46.000 You have to get a male tree to like pollinate it, right? Yeah. 01:18:46.000 --> 01:18:52.000 So even trees, fruit trees, for example, you get a male tree and a female tree. 01:18:52.000 --> 01:18:57.000 Well, if you just had two male trees, you're not going to get any fruit. 01:18:57.000 --> 01:19:00.000 If you had two female trees, you're not going to get any fruit. 01:19:00.000 --> 01:19:06.000 You have to have a male tree and a female tree and the male tree produces pollen, 01:19:06.000 --> 01:19:10.000 and the female tree soaks in the pollen and produces fruit. 01:19:10.000 --> 01:19:17.000 It's pretty amazing how God, everything God created kind of just points to all these different things that make sense. 01:19:17.000 --> 01:19:21.000 Even, even, praise God. 01:19:21.000 --> 01:19:30.000 And in Romans 10, go ahead and go to Romans 10. 01:19:30.000 --> 01:19:36.000 And then after this point, I have one last point. 01:19:36.000 --> 01:19:41.000 Am I at an hour yet? Nice. Perfect. Praise God. 01:19:41.000 --> 01:19:45.000 All right. Reach on. Let's go. 01:19:45.000 --> 01:19:49.000 Romans 10. I'm going to grab a sweet water. 01:19:59.000 --> 01:20:02.000 Romans 10, verse 14. 01:20:02.000 --> 01:20:08.000 The Bible says, How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? 01:20:08.000 --> 01:20:14.000 Right. And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? 01:20:14.000 --> 01:20:18.000 And how shall they hear without a preacher? Right. 01:20:18.000 --> 01:20:22.000 And how shall they preach except they be sent? 01:20:22.000 --> 01:20:31.000 As it is written, how beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace and bring glad tidings of good things. 01:20:31.000 --> 01:20:37.000 This is a very awesome little succession of events here that 01:20:37.000 --> 01:20:40.000 Apostle Paul uses in Romans chapter 10. It goes on. 01:20:40.000 --> 01:20:44.000 He says, Then how shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? 01:20:44.000 --> 01:20:49.000 So how is somebody going to call upon the name of the Lord if they haven't believed on him? 01:20:49.000 --> 01:20:54.000 Right. And it says, And how shall they believe in him in whom they have not heard? 01:20:54.000 --> 01:21:01.000 So how is somebody going to believe on Jesus if they didn't hear the gospel preached unto them? 01:21:01.000 --> 01:21:05.000 Right. And it says, And how shall they hear without a preacher? 01:21:05.000 --> 01:21:13.000 Making it very clear that that person in order to believe needs to hear the preaching from a preacher. 01:21:13.000 --> 01:21:17.000 Needs to hear the gospel presentation from a soul winner. 01:21:17.000 --> 01:21:21.000 And how shall they preach except they be sent? 01:21:21.000 --> 01:21:23.000 So we can't preach unless we're sent. 01:21:23.000 --> 01:21:30.000 And guess what? Jesus Christ sent all saved Christians into the world to preach the gospel. 01:21:30.000 --> 01:21:31.000 So nobody has an excuse. 01:21:31.000 --> 01:21:37.000 Can't be like, Well, my church doesn't go soul winning, so I guess I can't go. 01:21:37.000 --> 01:21:40.000 No, Jesus actually commanded you to go. 01:21:40.000 --> 01:21:42.000 Right. 01:21:42.000 --> 01:21:47.000 And God gave us this great ministry. 01:21:47.000 --> 01:21:50.000 So we should be we need to be good stewards of this ministry. 01:21:50.000 --> 01:21:51.000 We started out strong. 01:21:51.000 --> 01:21:53.000 We're going strong at this church. 01:21:53.000 --> 01:21:58.000 And it is super important to keep going because. 01:21:58.000 --> 01:22:05.000 I mean, Jesus even threatens in a church. 01:22:05.000 --> 01:22:11.000 I don't remember the church that he said he was going to basically if they do not repent and do the first works, 01:22:11.000 --> 01:22:14.000 he was going to come and remove their candlestick out of the place. 01:22:14.000 --> 01:22:18.000 He was going to remove their church from their place. 01:22:18.000 --> 01:22:24.000 They could still go to a meeting place, but in God's eyes, it would be a church in God's eyes. 01:22:24.000 --> 01:22:31.000 In order to be a God, a church that God recognizes as a church, it needs to be a soul. 01:22:31.000 --> 01:22:34.000 Church needs to be a church doing the first work. 01:22:34.000 --> 01:22:35.000 Bible says. 01:22:35.000 --> 01:22:42.000 And we just we just got to be good stewards and try. 01:22:42.000 --> 01:22:47.000 And this is something I'm working on is trying to soul win outside regular winning time. 01:22:47.000 --> 01:22:58.000 So I need to have this like in my mind where OK, it's not like I'm clocking into this ministry reconciliation where it's like, all right, Saturday, 1230. 01:22:58.000 --> 01:23:07.000 That's that's that's when the ministry is given to me, you know, or or Sunday at one o'clock. 01:23:07.000 --> 01:23:09.000 Ministry of reconciliation. 01:23:09.000 --> 01:23:10.000 Let's go. 01:23:11.000 --> 01:23:21.000 I need to have and everybody should have this mindset where it's like, hey, everybody you see out in the world could be a lost soul. 01:23:21.000 --> 01:23:26.000 And everybody is saved the same exact way. 01:23:26.000 --> 01:23:33.000 Like everybody you see in the world, it's like, hey, their Savior is Jesus, their Savior is the only Savior is Jesus. 01:23:33.000 --> 01:23:36.000 And we can lead them to Christ. 01:23:36.000 --> 01:23:37.000 And I want to get better. 01:23:37.000 --> 01:23:39.000 So this is for me, too. 01:23:39.000 --> 01:23:44.000 I do want to get better at preaching the gospel outside of soul winning times. 01:23:44.000 --> 01:23:47.000 And we have tons of soul winning events. 01:23:47.000 --> 01:23:53.000 And it's like, hey, if you have a family, if you have a wife and kids, just take it to the bank. 01:23:53.000 --> 01:24:02.000 You can't be the apostle Paul because God doesn't want you using him as an excuse not to take care of your family. 01:24:02.000 --> 01:24:03.000 So you have to be balanced. 01:24:03.000 --> 01:24:10.000 It's like that kid that's like, hey, Mom, Dad, I didn't clean my room because I was reading the Bible. 01:24:10.000 --> 01:24:14.000 Well, there's nothing wrong with reading the Bible. 01:24:14.000 --> 01:24:15.000 Right. 01:24:15.000 --> 01:24:19.000 But don't use God as an excuse to disobey your parents. 01:24:19.000 --> 01:24:21.000 It's completely wrong. 01:24:21.000 --> 01:24:22.000 God doesn't want you to do that. 01:24:22.000 --> 01:24:34.000 Just like if you were just going to every single soul winning marathon and your family's in need and they're suffering. 01:24:34.000 --> 01:24:46.000 And we've seen it a million times with like Kent Hovind, Brother Hiles, you know, where they're just doing all these things for the Lord, which is it's a good thing. 01:24:46.000 --> 01:24:52.000 But God doesn't want you using him as an excuse to to forsake your family. 01:24:52.000 --> 01:24:55.000 So, of course, what I'm saying is that you have to have a balance. 01:24:55.000 --> 01:25:04.000 It's like, hey, yes, be a soul winner, go soul winning, go soul winning as much as you can that our church provides outside of church. 01:25:04.000 --> 01:25:06.000 But just, you know, you got to balance it. 01:25:06.000 --> 01:25:12.000 I'm not saying so I'm just trying to say, hey, I'm not saying just go full blast. 01:25:12.000 --> 01:25:15.000 Forget about everybody in your life and go full blast. 01:25:15.000 --> 01:25:18.000 What I'm saying is be balanced. 01:25:18.000 --> 01:25:19.000 You know what you can do. 01:25:19.000 --> 01:25:22.000 You know, just don't stop going. 01:25:22.000 --> 01:25:25.000 Don't stop being a soul winner. 01:25:25.000 --> 01:25:27.000 God gave this ministry to us. 01:25:27.000 --> 01:25:29.000 If we don't do it, people are going to die and go to hell. 01:25:29.000 --> 01:25:31.000 You can't have the mindset. 01:25:31.000 --> 01:25:35.000 Well, hey, you know, somebody else will get that guy will get saved. 01:25:35.000 --> 01:25:36.000 Maybe not. 01:25:36.000 --> 01:25:39.000 Hopefully, hopefully he'll get saved, but maybe not. 01:25:39.000 --> 01:25:41.000 And man, that's going to suck. 01:25:41.000 --> 01:25:47.000 One day if we see somebody at the Great White Throne judgment and they're like, man, why didn't you tell me? 01:25:47.000 --> 01:25:50.000 I'm sorry. 01:25:50.000 --> 01:25:52.000 You know, it sucks. 01:25:52.000 --> 01:25:57.000 And this is the last point I have is that we're the salt of the earth. 01:25:57.000 --> 01:25:58.000 Right. 01:25:58.000 --> 01:25:59.000 And Matthew five. 01:25:59.000 --> 01:26:00.000 Go ahead and go to Matthew five. 01:26:00.000 --> 01:26:03.000 This will be the literally last. 01:26:03.000 --> 01:26:05.000 That's why I tell people out soul winning. 01:26:05.000 --> 01:26:06.000 I need to stop doing that. 01:26:06.000 --> 01:26:07.000 It's my last verse. 01:26:07.000 --> 01:26:08.000 One more verse, guys. 01:26:08.000 --> 01:26:10.000 Ten verses later. 01:26:10.000 --> 01:26:22.000 I'm just kidding. 01:26:22.000 --> 01:26:24.000 Matthew five, 13. 01:26:24.000 --> 01:26:32.000 I found this really interesting because Jesus uses these carnal examples to like prove a spiritual point. 01:26:32.000 --> 01:26:33.000 Right. 01:26:33.000 --> 01:26:38.000 He gives us examples that we can like relate to that we see in everyday life. 01:26:38.000 --> 01:26:40.000 I like what I was telling you about that sermon. 01:26:40.000 --> 01:26:47.000 You're preaching like using the bowl to like picture some, you know, some sin in your life that's corrupt. 01:26:47.000 --> 01:26:48.000 I can't remember. 01:26:48.000 --> 01:26:51.000 But anyway, using carnal examples to prove a spiritual point. 01:26:51.000 --> 01:26:52.000 It's really cool. 01:26:52.000 --> 01:26:54.000 And Jesus does this all the time. 01:26:54.000 --> 01:26:57.000 And Matthew five, 13. 01:26:57.000 --> 01:27:00.000 Jesus says you are the salt of the earth. 01:27:00.000 --> 01:27:05.000 But if the salt have lost his saber, wherewith shall be salted? 01:27:05.000 --> 01:27:12.000 It is thenceforth good for nothing but to be cast out and to be trodden under foot of men. 01:27:12.000 --> 01:27:14.000 And it's very interesting. 01:27:14.000 --> 01:27:17.000 Jesus uses salt as an example. 01:27:17.000 --> 01:27:20.000 And he says, were the salt of the earth. 01:27:20.000 --> 01:27:21.000 Right. 01:27:21.000 --> 01:27:24.000 And what's interesting about salt, there is nothing. 01:27:24.000 --> 01:27:26.000 Salt is very peculiar. 01:27:26.000 --> 01:27:28.000 There's no other mineral. 01:27:28.000 --> 01:27:29.000 There's no other spice. 01:27:29.000 --> 01:27:34.000 There's nothing else like salt, which is pretty cool because we're a peculiar people. 01:27:34.000 --> 01:27:35.000 Right. 01:27:35.000 --> 01:27:38.000 And salt is a preservative. 01:27:38.000 --> 01:27:44.000 And what we're doing when we go soul winning is that we're preserving people to everlasting life. 01:27:44.000 --> 01:27:48.000 We're preaching them the gospel so their life can be preserved forever. 01:27:48.000 --> 01:27:49.000 Right. 01:27:49.000 --> 01:27:50.000 Salt is a preservative. 01:27:50.000 --> 01:27:54.000 Salt also steams and it burns. 01:27:54.000 --> 01:27:57.000 I don't know if you ever had like a cut on your lip or on your hand. 01:27:57.000 --> 01:27:58.000 You just get like salt on it. 01:27:58.000 --> 01:28:01.000 It's like, ah, dang it. 01:28:01.000 --> 01:28:13.000 Well, when we preach and when the preachers preach the word behind this pulpit or out in the world, salt steams and it's going to burn. 01:28:13.000 --> 01:28:14.000 But it's good. 01:28:14.000 --> 01:28:18.000 It actually kills bacteria too, which is awesome. 01:28:18.000 --> 01:28:19.000 Yeah, it cleans. 01:28:19.000 --> 01:28:21.000 It cleans wounds. 01:28:21.000 --> 01:28:23.000 I already told you salt is unique. 01:28:23.000 --> 01:28:25.000 It's unique from everybody else. 01:28:25.000 --> 01:28:27.000 And you know what else is interesting about salt? 01:28:27.000 --> 01:28:29.000 It doesn't burn. 01:28:29.000 --> 01:28:33.000 Not in the sense that I just talked to you about, but it doesn't burn. 01:28:33.000 --> 01:28:46.000 What I was researching about this, it says unlike many substances we use daily, salt is non flammable and remains stable even at high temperatures. 01:28:46.000 --> 01:28:50.000 So just like us, we're never going to burn either. 01:28:50.000 --> 01:28:53.000 We're going to heaven and even at high temperatures. 01:28:53.000 --> 01:28:58.000 And the Bible says, you know, not even a hair of our head is going to be singed. 01:28:58.000 --> 01:29:00.000 We're not even going to smell like smoke. 01:29:00.000 --> 01:29:01.000 Salt can't burn. 01:29:01.000 --> 01:29:05.000 So it's pretty interesting how Jesus used salt, right? 01:29:05.000 --> 01:29:09.000 And salt is also crucial for human survival. 01:29:09.000 --> 01:29:12.000 We need salt and the earth needs salt. 01:29:12.000 --> 01:29:15.000 The Bible says that we're the salt of the earth, right? 01:29:15.000 --> 01:29:18.000 So we need to have salt in ourselves. 01:29:18.000 --> 01:29:20.000 We need to be salty Christians. 01:29:20.000 --> 01:29:21.000 And you know what? 01:29:21.000 --> 01:29:28.000 Right here it says, but if the salt has lost his sabre, wherewith shall it be salted? 01:29:28.000 --> 01:29:33.000 The word wherewith is an old fashioned word that means with what? 01:29:33.000 --> 01:29:44.000 So if we're the salt of the earth, and it goes on to say, but if the salt have lost his sabre, wherewith or with what shall it be salted? 01:29:44.000 --> 01:29:47.000 What else is going to salt the earth? 01:29:48.000 --> 01:29:51.000 We're the only ones that can salt the earth. 01:29:51.000 --> 01:29:52.000 That's it. 01:29:52.000 --> 01:29:55.000 So nobody else is going to be salt in the earth. 01:29:55.000 --> 01:30:03.000 And when you lose your sabre, it doesn't mean you lose your salvation because you cannot lose your salvation. 01:30:03.000 --> 01:30:07.000 What it means is, and this is not even a salvation verse at all. 01:30:07.000 --> 01:30:09.000 Everybody in here knows that. 01:30:09.000 --> 01:30:11.000 But I just want to be clear. 01:30:11.000 --> 01:30:14.000 This is a Christian life verse, right? 01:30:15.000 --> 01:30:23.000 So if a person, a Christian loses their saltiness, they lose their sabre, they're losing their effectiveness. 01:30:23.000 --> 01:30:26.000 They're not an effective Christian anymore. 01:30:26.000 --> 01:30:29.000 And just like this, and I looked this up too. 01:30:29.000 --> 01:30:31.000 I said, hey, can there any salt? 01:30:31.000 --> 01:30:35.000 Is there salt out there that loses its sabre? 01:30:35.000 --> 01:30:37.000 And sure enough, there is. 01:30:37.000 --> 01:30:41.000 So like in the Dead Sea with salt. 01:30:41.000 --> 01:30:47.000 So if different minerals like mix in with the salt, it becomes, it loses its sabre. 01:30:47.000 --> 01:30:54.000 I even asked it, I was like, if it loses its sabre and becomes mixed in with minerals, is it flammable? 01:30:54.000 --> 01:30:57.000 No, it's still not flammable. 01:30:58.000 --> 01:31:05.000 So no matter what kind of crap you get in your life, right, you're losing your sabre, 01:31:05.000 --> 01:31:10.000 meaning you're allowing these different minerals to mix in with your saltiness. 01:31:10.000 --> 01:31:20.000 The minerals of living after the flesh, lusting after the things of the flesh, just backsliding, serving self, you know, 01:31:20.000 --> 01:31:26.000 just different, these minerals you can liken unto sin that you have in your life that you're dealing with, right? 01:31:26.000 --> 01:31:28.000 And everybody has that. 01:31:28.000 --> 01:31:32.000 But the thing is, we can't let that get out of control. 01:31:32.000 --> 01:31:34.000 We want to remain salty Christians. 01:31:34.000 --> 01:31:37.000 The Christian life is not like a five-year plan. 01:31:37.000 --> 01:31:42.000 This is like from the day you get saved to the day you die. 01:31:42.000 --> 01:31:43.000 That's the goal. 01:31:43.000 --> 01:31:48.000 Let's run the race and be effective. 01:31:48.000 --> 01:31:49.000 We need to be salty. 01:31:49.000 --> 01:31:52.000 We need to stay salty, right? 01:31:53.000 --> 01:32:01.000 That's kind of like the practical part of this sermon here is to, we're the salt of the earth. 01:32:01.000 --> 01:32:03.000 Nobody else can salt the earth. 01:32:03.000 --> 01:32:05.000 We need to stay salty. 01:32:05.000 --> 01:32:08.000 If we lose our sabre, we're not going to be effective anymore. 01:32:08.000 --> 01:32:11.000 The Bible says that we're good for nothing here. 01:32:11.000 --> 01:32:19.000 If we lose our sabre, meaning we're not salty anymore, it says it is thenceforth good for nothing, 01:32:19.000 --> 01:32:23.000 but to be cast out and be trodden underfoot of men. 01:32:23.000 --> 01:32:29.000 Honestly, if we're living a self-serving life, not doing anything for the kingdom of God, 01:32:29.000 --> 01:32:34.000 we're not doing any soul-winning, serving ourselves, we're literally good for nothing. 01:32:34.000 --> 01:32:36.000 We're still salt. 01:32:36.000 --> 01:32:38.000 We're just not salty salt. 01:32:38.000 --> 01:32:43.000 Un-salty salt gets trodden under feet of men. 01:32:43.000 --> 01:32:44.000 But guess what? 01:32:44.000 --> 01:32:49.000 Un-salty salt still goes to heaven, period, because you can't ever lose your salvation. 01:32:49.000 --> 01:32:51.000 But let's be salty here. 01:32:51.000 --> 01:33:00.000 Let's be this year, I know Brother Remy has it in his mind to do more soul-winning than we ever have at this church. 01:33:00.000 --> 01:33:02.000 Let's get behind the leadership. 01:33:02.000 --> 01:33:04.000 Let's go soul-winning. 01:33:04.000 --> 01:33:06.000 Let's take this ministry seriously. 01:33:06.000 --> 01:33:10.000 None of us here have ever not taken the ministry seriously. 01:33:10.000 --> 01:33:12.000 But let's not lose that. 01:33:12.000 --> 01:33:17.000 Because sometimes we can get down in life, it's like, man, it's already Saturday. 01:33:17.000 --> 01:33:19.000 Whoo, that week went by fast. 01:33:19.000 --> 01:33:24.000 Well, sometimes we can get a little burned out. 01:33:24.000 --> 01:33:26.000 But no, we've got to keep going. 01:33:26.000 --> 01:33:29.000 And sometimes you need your buddy to run alongside of you. 01:33:30.000 --> 01:33:34.000 Called the local Baptist church. 01:33:34.000 --> 01:33:39.000 You go to church, you exhort each other, and you get fired up again. 01:33:39.000 --> 01:33:43.000 Or you've got the power bar called the King James Bible Conference. 01:33:43.000 --> 01:33:46.000 And you need to eat that sucker and get fired up again. 01:33:46.000 --> 01:33:48.000 Keep running the race. 01:33:48.000 --> 01:33:53.000 Pastor Thompson, this is brought to you by King James Conference 2026. 01:33:53.000 --> 01:33:55.000 All right. 01:33:55.000 --> 01:33:58.000 Let's bow our heads and have a word of prayer. 01:33:58.000 --> 01:34:02.000 Dear Heavenly Father, thank you, God, for allowing me to preach this sermon. 01:34:02.000 --> 01:34:05.000 I pray, God, that it was to your glory. 01:34:05.000 --> 01:34:09.000 And just thank you for helping me not be as nervous as I was. 01:34:09.000 --> 01:34:12.000 And I just pray, God, that it's edifying to everybody. 01:34:12.000 --> 01:34:14.000 And I pray you will help us as a church. 01:34:14.000 --> 01:34:19.000 Just be a salty, on fire, soul-winning church for you, Lord. 01:34:19.000 --> 01:34:22.000 And just open up doors for us. 01:34:22.000 --> 01:34:26.000 Open up more doors that we could be effective at soul-winning. 01:34:26.000 --> 01:34:29.000 And I pray you'll bless the leadership here. 01:34:29.000 --> 01:34:32.000 And bless everybody as we go. 01:34:32.000 --> 01:34:34.000 In Jesus' name, Amen. 01:34:39.000 --> 01:34:41.000 Turn it down. 01:34:41.000 --> 01:34:47.000 We're going to turn to page number 400 and 72. 01:34:47.000 --> 01:34:49.000 Page number four. 01:34:49.000 --> 01:34:54.000 And the 72, this is my Father's world. 01:34:54.000 --> 01:34:59.000 Page number 472. 01:35:06.000 --> 01:35:11.000 Page number 472, this is my Father's world. 01:35:11.000 --> 01:35:14.000 We'll sing it out on the first. 01:35:14.000 --> 01:35:19.000 This is my Father's world. 01:35:19.000 --> 01:35:34.000 And to my listening ears, all nature sings and round me rings the music of the spheres. 01:35:34.000 --> 01:35:39.000 This is my Father's world. 01:35:39.000 --> 01:35:53.000 I rest me in the thought of rocks and trees, of skies and seas, His hand the wonders wrought. 01:35:53.000 --> 01:35:58.000 This is my Father's world. 01:35:58.000 --> 01:36:12.000 The words their carols raise, the morning light, the lily white, declare their maker's praise. 01:36:12.000 --> 01:36:17.000 This is my Father's world. 01:36:17.000 --> 01:36:22.000 He shines in all that's fair. 01:36:22.000 --> 01:36:27.000 In the rustling grass I hear Him pass. 01:36:27.000 --> 01:36:32.000 He speaks to me everywhere. 01:36:32.000 --> 01:36:37.000 This is my Father's world. 01:36:37.000 --> 01:36:51.000 Oh, let me ne'er forget that though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet. 01:36:51.000 --> 01:36:56.000 This is the Father's world. 01:36:56.000 --> 01:37:01.000 The battle is not done. 01:37:01.000 --> 01:37:11.000 Jesus who died shall be satisfied, and earth and heaven be one. 01:37:11.000 --> 01:37:22.000 All right, excellent singing everybody. Brother Jacob, please close us in word of prayer. 01:37:22.000 --> 01:37:26.000 Amen. 01:37:26.000 --> 01:37:28.000 Okay.
