1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,200
I'm going to just read a passage I was looking at today from Luke 12.

2
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:09,200
This is Jesus.

3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:17,880
It says that at this time, after so many thousands of the crowd, this is verse 1 of Luke 12,

4
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:19,960
after so many thousands of the crowd.

5
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:24,960
That word, thousands, there is the word for myrids.

6
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:30,160
The series of crowd had gathered together that they were trampling on one another and

7
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:36,680
it began to say to his disciples first, be on your guard for the leaven of the Pharisees,

8
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,680
which is hypocrisy.

9
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,160
That's something that I struggle with.

10
00:00:41,160 --> 00:00:44,320
I don't want to be a hypocrite.

11
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,520
You expect the pastor to be the best.

12
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:54,440
Anyway, but there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed and hidden that will

13
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:55,800
not be known.

14
00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:01,440
According to what you have said in the dark, will it be heard in delight and what you have

15
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:07,040
whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed upon the house stops.

16
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:14,440
But I say to you, my friends, do not fear those who kill the body and after that have

17
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,520
no more that they can do.

18
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,000
But I will show you whom to fear.

19
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:24,560
Fear the one who after he has killed has authority to cast into hell.

20
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,680
Yes, I tell you, fear him.

21
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,480
Are not five sparrow sold for two asaria?

22
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,600
Yet not one of them is forgotten before God.

23
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,160
Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

24
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:42,920
Do not fear you are more valuable than many sparrow.

25
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,880
So just thinking about that today, the crowds.

26
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:51,520
Jesus, you know, somebody that can do what Jesus did and completely heal people no matter

27
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:58,960
what the disease, will, it would not take long for a big following to follow.

28
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:05,160
And that he had a large group of people that were following him for the miracles and things

29
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,080
of this nature.

30
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,760
So that explains the large crowds.

31
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:17,840
The thing that I think is interesting is his warning about fearing God, that he is one

32
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:18,840
to be feared.

33
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,600
We were talking about that this morning.

34
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,880
He is one to take seriously.

35
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:31,080
And it is easy, I think, for us, like for example, when we come here to kind of go through the

36
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:39,640
motions of taking the bread and taking the cup and partaking of it and not really being

37
00:02:39,640 --> 00:02:43,320
a reflection of our heart and deep reflection.

38
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,720
That is one of the things I was thinking about when we were talking about being thankful.

39
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,080
It is easy to go through the motions.

40
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:54,560
We say, you know, Thanksgiving, so let's buy our heads and thank the Lord for the blessings.

41
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,440
So we all thank him for three or four things.

42
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:03,960
But we really should be in an attitude of thanksgiving all the time because he is so

43
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:04,960
good to us.

44
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,160
We are his children.

45
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:13,200
So anyway, fear God, take him with all of his seriousness.

46
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:18,520
And here we are going to be taking the elements.

47
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,320
I want to go ahead and I will close this in prayer.

48
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,440
We don't have anybody yet to do the elements.

49
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,440
You want to do it and I will do it.

50
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:25,440
Oh, okay.

51
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:26,440
Yes, you are here.

52
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:27,440
All right.

53
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:28,440
Do that.

54
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:29,640
Let me open in prayer.

55
00:03:29,640 --> 00:03:31,040
I am not going to close in prayer.

56
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:35,680
I will sit down and anybody who wants to pray, and you are encouraged to pray.

57
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:40,200
Bob, would you close it in prayer after the people have had a chance to pray?

58
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,760
Lord, we thank you for this time.

59
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:54,040
I know I sound like I am Russian, but I do thank you for your patience and for your mercy

60
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:55,480
and for your grace.

61
00:03:55,480 --> 00:04:01,760
You treat me and us so much better than we deserve.

62
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:06,800
I really thank you for your patience and thank you for your mercy and thank you for your

63
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:14,280
grace and thank you for the salvation that you have provided at such infinite cost.

64
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:21,920
And I pray that in the prayers that we have tonight and the thoughts that are expressed,

65
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:29,360
the words that are read, that our hearts will be really serious about this time.

66
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:35,840
You have warned us in the scripture not to partake of these in an unworthy manner, and

67
00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:42,920
this is something that you have designated as very important and very serious.

68
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:49,800
Strange that we would need this reminder, but we are people that are forgetful.

69
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:57,920
And so just remind us, speak to our hearts, make us aware of the greatness of our Savior

70
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:04,160
and the greatness of our sin that you have paid for.

71
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,240
We thank you for this time this morning.

72
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:28,240
是我们在继续开会的时候,为了一起・护命的キャンバイント、

73
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:32,960
和那些人们和 Course Gnyae Covid-19的广失。

74
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,920
Let's be in doubtful that we areeremotional.
