Speaker 1: Hello, everybody, Welcome to Daily Hope with Pastor Rick Warren.
Speaker 1: So we're continuing with this series called Daring Faith the
Speaker 1: Key to Miracles. And in this series you're learning how
Speaker 1: to have a bold, unshakable faith that gives you courage
Speaker 1: to impact.
Speaker 2: The world around you.
Speaker 1: And I know we all want that. And now Pastor
Speaker 1: Rick with the final part of a message called daring
Speaker 1: to commit.
Speaker 2: All right now, the third life commitment is about developing
Speaker 2: your potential. You'll never develop your full potential as a
Speaker 2: man or as a woman until you make this commitment.
Speaker 2: And it is this I must learn from others to grow.
Speaker 2: I must learn from others to grow. There are some
Speaker 2: things you will never learn on your own. You only
Speaker 2: learn them in community. You only learn them from others.
Speaker 2: There's some things you can only learn in relationship. This
Speaker 2: is why we emphasize small so strongly at Saddle Backed Church,
Speaker 2: because there's some stuff you can learn from me in
Speaker 2: a crowd. But there's some things you can't learn unless
Speaker 2: you're in relationship in a small group of some kind.
Speaker 2: For instance, you can only learn forgiveness in relationships. You
Speaker 2: can learn that on your own. You can only learn
Speaker 2: loyalty in relationships. You can learn that on your own.
Speaker 2: You can only learn love in relationships. You can learn
Speaker 2: that on your own. You can't learn it without people.
Speaker 2: You can't learn kindness without others. You can't learn faithfulness
Speaker 2: without unders. You can't learn graciousness without others in your life.
Speaker 2: You can't learn unselfishness without us. In fact, the most
Speaker 2: important things you need to learn in life require that
Speaker 2: you be in relationship to other people. You can't do
Speaker 2: it on your own. And if I want to build
Speaker 2: my potential, I must learn from others to grow. And
Speaker 2: where's the best place to do that In the family
Speaker 2: of God, in the body of Christ in the church.
Speaker 2: Ephesians four sixteen says this Christ's body is fitted together perfectly,
Speaker 2: and as each part does its own special work, it
Speaker 2: helps the other parts. What circle that word grow? You
Speaker 2: help each other grow. I help you grow, You help
Speaker 2: me grow. The people on the road you're sitting on
Speaker 2: right now, they need you. You need them. You need
Speaker 2: other people. There are many things in life you cannot
Speaker 2: learn unless you're in relationship with people. God wired us
Speaker 2: to need each other. I have heard so many stories
Speaker 2: about this, about people who were got in a small
Speaker 2: group and it all of a sudden got them growing.
Speaker 2: There's a book that came out a while back called
Speaker 2: If I'm So Successful, Why Do I Feel Like a Fake?
Speaker 2: And the book is actually about a well known phenomena.
Speaker 2: Psychologists know this. It's called the impostor phenomena. And the
Speaker 2: impostor phenomena says this, a lot of very very successful
Speaker 2: people in life. They got wealth, they got power, they
Speaker 2: got good looks, they got they got fame, and all
Speaker 2: these kind of things, and yet inside they feel empty,
Speaker 2: they feel hollow, they feel unfulfilled. And the title of
Speaker 2: the book is if I'm so successful, why do I
Speaker 2: Feel like a Fake? And the reason why is success
Speaker 2: was never meant to fully satisfy you. Success is not
Speaker 2: enough in life. You're taught from a little kid, if
Speaker 2: you get successful, you're going to be happy. No, not necessarily,
Speaker 2: You're certainly not going to be fulfilled, because it's not
Speaker 2: enough to fulfill you. You remember when we did forty
Speaker 2: Days of Purpose many years ago, I talked about the
Speaker 2: three levels of living. You can live at the survival level,
Speaker 2: you can live at the success level, or you can
Speaker 2: live at the significance level. Most of the world lives
Speaker 2: at the survival level. Now in America, nobody actually lives
Speaker 2: at that level because even the poorest of our poor,
Speaker 2: we have a safety net here in America. The poorest
Speaker 2: of the poor in America most of the world, would
Speaker 2: love to have their problems, because that would be a
Speaker 2: giant step up. Survival level means I don't know if
Speaker 2: I'm going to have a meal this evening. Survival level
Speaker 2: means I don't know if I'm ever gonna have any
Speaker 2: more clothes than the ones on my back. Survival means
Speaker 2: am I going to have a roof over my head tonight?
Speaker 2: Americans don't worry about that generally, and so nobody is
Speaker 2: really living at the physical survival level in America. We
Speaker 2: have a lot of people living at the emotional survival level.
Speaker 2: If you feel stressed out all the time, if you
Speaker 2: hate your job, if you're just putting in your time,
Speaker 2: waiting for the weekend and dream of going to Tahiti,
Speaker 2: you're at survival level emotionally. Most of you are at
Speaker 2: the second level. You're at what's called the success level.
Speaker 2: Success means you've got enough money for options. So after
Speaker 2: the service today, if you want to go eat something,
Speaker 2: you can go buy it may just be McDonald's, but
Speaker 2: you have options. If you have any money in your pocket,
Speaker 2: any if you have any money and a cup sitting
Speaker 2: at home, you're already in the top five percent wealthy
Speaker 2: in the world. You just need to realize that according
Speaker 2: to the world, you're rich. So you're not at the
Speaker 2: success survival level. You're at a success level. Success means options.
Speaker 2: I can go to the movies, I can do what
Speaker 2: I want to watch. And the more you have, the
Speaker 2: more successful you are. But that isn't fulfilled. And the
Speaker 2: reason why I was you were made for more than success.
Speaker 2: You were made for significance. And significance comes from giving
Speaker 2: my life a way to something greater than myself. Now
Speaker 2: here's the fourth commitment to experience significance in life. I'm
Speaker 2: a serve. I m at serve with others in ministry.
Speaker 2: Ministry is just the word for doing good to other people.
Speaker 2: I must serve with others in ministry. Significance does not
Speaker 2: come from status. A lot of people like you know,
Speaker 2: if I just have a little hood ornament on my car,
Speaker 2: then I'm significant, Or if I where certain kind of
Speaker 2: logo on my shirt or my dress, then I'm significant.
Speaker 2: Why do people wear things with brands on them. They're
Speaker 2: trying to let those brands make them significant. They think
Speaker 2: I'm better because I'm wearing this brand. No you're not. No,
Speaker 2: you're not. And so significance does not come from status.
Speaker 2: Significance does not come from your salary because a lot
Speaker 2: of people make more than you do. Significance does not
Speaker 2: come from sex. You could go from one sexual partner
Speaker 2: to the next, thinking that makes you significance. It does not.
Speaker 2: Significance comes from service. God wired the universe that we
Speaker 2: only feel significant about our lives when we give it away.
Speaker 2: You cannot be selfish and significant at the same time.
Speaker 2: Significance comes when you stop thinking about you and you
Speaker 2: start thinking about other people, and you give your life away. Now,
Speaker 2: the Bible says it like this one Peter four ten.
Speaker 2: Each of you has received a gift to use to
Speaker 2: serve yourself. Oh that's not what it says. Each of
Speaker 2: you has received a gift to serve what others. Okay,
Speaker 2: look up here for a minute. The talents you've got,
Speaker 2: they're not for your benefit. Your talents were given to
Speaker 2: you to benefit the people sitting next to you, and
Speaker 2: their talents were not given for their benefit. Their talents
Speaker 2: were given for the benefit of you. My talents, the
Speaker 2: talents that I've got, weren't given for my benefit. My
Speaker 2: talents were given to me for the benefit of you.
Speaker 2: And so we need each other. Your talents aren't meant
Speaker 2: for your benefit. We are given these gifts. We are
Speaker 2: shaped for significance. Ministry is the path the meaning, and
Speaker 2: service is the path the significance. You're not going to
Speaker 2: find it any other way. You're never going to feel
Speaker 2: good about you until you start giving your life away.
Speaker 2: Jesus said it like this, Mark eight. If you try
Speaker 2: to keep your life for your you will lose it.
Speaker 2: But if you give your life for My sake and
Speaker 2: for the sake of the Good News, you will find
Speaker 2: true life. Now, God has a lot to say about serving,
Speaker 2: and he says, we're supposed to do it in a
Speaker 2: special way, and here's the way with others. We're to
Speaker 2: do it together. We're better together. You're not meant to
Speaker 2: serve God on your own by yourself. You're meant to
Speaker 2: serve God on a team. You're meant to serve God
Speaker 2: in a family, in a small group, in a church.
Speaker 2: You're meant to small serve God in relationship. Here's what
Speaker 2: the Bible says Ecclesiastes four. Two people are always always
Speaker 2: always better than one because working together, he says, but
Speaker 2: they get more done, he says, we can accomplish more.
Speaker 2: They get more done by working together. If one falls down,
Speaker 2: the other can help him up. But it's bad for
Speaker 2: the person who's alone and falls because there's nobody there
Speaker 2: to help lie down. Together, they can share the same
Speaker 2: blanket and stay warm, but a person all alone will
Speaker 2: not be warm. An enemy might defeat one person, but
Speaker 2: two together can defend themselves. And a rope that is
Speaker 2: will of a three braids, and O there is three
Speaker 2: is even better. Three breaks is hard to break. Now,
Speaker 2: there's a lot of truth in that passage, but let
Speaker 2: me just summarize it in three statements. Write these down.
Speaker 2: When we work together. Number one, we maximize our impact.
Speaker 2: When we work together, we maximize our impact. So as
Speaker 2: we get more done. Let me just say it this way.
Speaker 2: What you do with other people in this church will
Speaker 2: far outlast anything you do on your own. I guarantee it.
Speaker 2: You want to make an impact with your life, you
Speaker 2: want to make a world impact, global impact, historical impact,
Speaker 2: do it with other people in this church, because what
Speaker 2: this church is doing is far going to outlast anything
Speaker 2: else you do. What we do together will be far
Speaker 2: more significant than what we do individually, far more significant
Speaker 2: than what we do individually. One drop of rain doesn't
Speaker 2: make any difference on a desert, but a million drops
Speaker 2: of rain can turn a desert into a garden. What
Speaker 2: you can do is not a lot. What I can
Speaker 2: do is not a lot. But together we make an impact.
Speaker 2: So we maximize our impact. Second thing, Verse ten says,
Speaker 2: we minimize our failure. I like that when we work together,
Speaker 2: when we serve together, when we minister together, we minimize
Speaker 2: our failures. It says if one falls down, well the
Speaker 2: next guy just picks him up. But he said, if
Speaker 2: you're out there doing it on your own, who's going
Speaker 2: to pick you up when you fall? So I like
Speaker 2: the fact that when we serve together in the church,
Speaker 2: it minimizes our failures. And the third thing, we mobilize
Speaker 2: our resources. We pool them, we put them all together,
Speaker 2: our funds go further. Says, you know, if you're sleeping
Speaker 2: outside together, you can share the blanket you most stay warm.
Speaker 2: He says, we can pool our resources and mobilize them
Speaker 2: together now. Jesus said that there's no such thing as
Speaker 2: insignificant service. There's no such thing as an insignificant ministry.
Speaker 2: Jesus said, even if you say to a little kid, here,
Speaker 2: have a drink of water in Jesus's name, you give
Speaker 2: them a cup of cold water. In the Bible says
Speaker 2: that is significant ministry. You will be rewarded for it
Speaker 2: in eternity. Then have to be flashy. It just has
Speaker 2: to be service. And so the person who is helping
Speaker 2: park all the cars in traffic ministry, and the person
Speaker 2: who's passing out bulletins, and the person who is watching
Speaker 2: and training kids, and the person who is speaking right now.
Speaker 2: It's all significant, and not any is more significant than
Speaker 2: the other, because it all has to be done. And
Speaker 2: the painters and the artists and the musicians and the
Speaker 2: accountants and the servers and all of the hospitality people,
Speaker 2: all of it matters. There is no insignificant ministry. I've
Speaker 2: taught to you this before, but some of you may
Speaker 2: have not remembered it. The difference between prominence and significance.
Speaker 2: They're not the same. You be famous and not significant.
Speaker 2: You can be significant and not famous. My nose is prominent.
Speaker 2: It just sticks out there. It gets to the door
Speaker 2: two days before my the rest of my body gets there.
Speaker 2: There's nothing significant about my nose except that it's incredibly sexy.
Speaker 2: But outside of that, it's just a nose. Okay, it's
Speaker 2: just a nose. It's prominent, it's big, but it's not significant.
Speaker 2: I could lose my nose and live happily ever after.
Speaker 2: I don't need it to live. It's prominent, it's not significant.
Speaker 2: Inside me, there's a spleen, a liver, kidney's, heart, lungs.
Speaker 2: I've never seen them, so I just am assuming by
Speaker 2: faith that I have them. Okay, somebody tell me they're
Speaker 2: inside me. I've never seen them. They're not prominent, but
Speaker 2: they are significant, because if I lost any of them,
Speaker 2: I'd die. And what you want in life is not prominence.
Speaker 2: What you want is significance, and we get that through service.
Speaker 2: And Jesus said this, Matthew twenty five, verse forty. I
Speaker 2: tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of
Speaker 2: the least of these, you did for me. And you
Speaker 2: know what that story is about. Jesus is saying there,
Speaker 2: one day you're going to stand before him in heaven,
Speaker 2: and God's going to say to you, you know what
Speaker 2: good job, Because when I was hungry, you fed me.
Speaker 2: And when I was thirsty, you gave me something to drink.
Speaker 2: And when I was sick, you visited me. And when
Speaker 2: I was in prison, you visited me. And when I
Speaker 2: was naked, you gave me clothes. And you're going to
Speaker 2: say to God Lord, when did I do that? When
Speaker 2: did I feed you, clothe you, help you, serve you
Speaker 2: and all that. And Jesus will say, when you did
Speaker 2: it to the least of these, you did it to me.
Speaker 2: Inasmuch as you did it to the least of these,
Speaker 2: my brethren, you did it unto me. Now the last,
Speaker 2: the fifth life commitment, is the one that makes the
Speaker 2: eternal difference. This is the one that you'll be rewarded
Speaker 2: for over and over and over in eternity. And it
Speaker 2: is this the fifth commitment. To make an eternal difference,
Speaker 2: I must join with others on mission. I must join
Speaker 2: with others on mission. God has a life mission for
Speaker 2: your life, and you can only do it in the
Speaker 2: context with others. A life message and a life mission.
Speaker 2: God puts you here to have a message to the
Speaker 2: world and a mission in the world, and you do
Speaker 2: that in contact with others. Now, before Jesus goes back
Speaker 2: to Heaven, he gives his last words. Last words of
Speaker 2: people are very important, And the last words of Jesus
Speaker 2: are called the Great Commission. I mentioned it earlier. It's
Speaker 2: Matthew twenty eight. It's there on your outline. Go and
Speaker 2: make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name
Speaker 2: of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,
Speaker 2: and teaching them to do everything I have commanded you,
Speaker 2: and surely I will be with you. Now follow me
Speaker 2: on this. God has a purpose for all of history,
Speaker 2: and God has a purpose for your life. Why would
Speaker 2: God give you a purpose for your life totally unconnected
Speaker 2: to his purpose for history. He wouldn't. That would be illogical.
Speaker 2: So somehow the purpose for your life is connected to
Speaker 2: his purpose for history. And what is God's purpose for history.
Speaker 2: He's building a family. It's the whole reason there's a universe.
Speaker 2: It's a whole reason there's an earth. God wanted a
Speaker 2: family on earth. That family is called the Church. It's
Speaker 2: also called the Kingdom of God. And when everybody has
Speaker 2: come into that family, that God knows is going to
Speaker 2: say yes, has made the choice to love him back.
Speaker 2: Then this period of history will be over. We go
Speaker 2: into phase two, which is eternity. And so somehow God says,
Speaker 2: I want your purpose in life to be a part
Speaker 2: of My big purpose, which is taking the good news
Speaker 2: to everybody else. The whole reason we have saddle backed
Speaker 2: Church is the Great Commission. I started this church because
Speaker 2: of that verse. The whole reason we have the Peace
Speaker 2: Plan is because of the Great Commission. It's all about
Speaker 2: not just loving Christ, loving his family, growing in Christ,
Speaker 2: serving Christ. It's also about sharing Christ, taking the good news,
Speaker 2: and it's the best news in the world past forgiven purpose,
Speaker 2: for living home in Heaven. Where else are you going
Speaker 2: to get that? Nowhere? It's the best news in the world.
Speaker 2: In the Bible, Paul talks about a group of Christians
Speaker 2: in a part of Greece called Macedonia Macedonias, where Alexander
Speaker 2: the Great came from and the church at Macedonia. Paul
Speaker 2: was there and helped them start at church, and they
Speaker 2: were going through a very strong famine drought, and the
Speaker 2: place was incredibly poor, and they barely had enough food
Speaker 2: to feed themselves. And it was a very very poor,
Speaker 2: poverty stricken church in Macedonia. And yet then the people
Speaker 2: in the Church of Macedonia heard about the tough times
Speaker 2: that the Church of Jerusalem is going through, and they
Speaker 2: were having a famine, and not on top of that,
Speaker 2: they were having prosecution. And so the people who were
Speaker 2: in abject poverty themselves in Macedonia took up a generous
Speaker 2: offering and sent it to Jerusalem. And Paul in the
Speaker 2: Bible brags on the Macedonian Christian. He goes, I don't
Speaker 2: believe these guys. They're unbelievable. It goes out of their
Speaker 2: deep poverty welled up great generosity. He goes that they
Speaker 2: gave more than they were able, and said they were
Speaker 2: able to give more than they could afford. They were
Speaker 2: poor themselves, they were destitute, and yet they're taking up
Speaker 2: an offering to help poor people in another place. And
Speaker 2: he goes, let me explain to you why they were
Speaker 2: able to do that. It's the next verse tewod Corinthians
Speaker 2: eight five. They gave beyond their ability, far more than
Speaker 2: they could afford, because they're not given by reason but
Speaker 2: by revelation. And what explains this, what explains this generosity
Speaker 2: in the middle of all their poverty, What explains, it
Speaker 2: was that they had first given themselves unreservedly to God.
Speaker 2: That's the very first verse we read today. The other
Speaker 2: giving simply flowed out of the purposes of God working
Speaker 2: in their lives. In other words, if you settle the
Speaker 2: first issue, does my life really belong to God? The
Speaker 2: second issue is really easy, Do I trust God? Southern
Speaker 2: California is well known for its beaches. It's the part
Speaker 2: of the country that popularized the music of the beach Boys,
Speaker 2: beach party movies, and of course, surfing. Many of our
Speaker 2: schools offer physical education courses in surfing, and if you
Speaker 2: take a class on surfing, you'll be taught everything you
Speaker 2: need to know about surfing. How to recognize the right equipment,
Speaker 2: how to use it properly, how to recognize a surfable wave,
Speaker 2: how to catch a wave and ride it as long
Speaker 2: as possible, and most important of all, how to get
Speaker 2: off a wave without wiping out. But in all of
Speaker 2: the courses unsurfing, you will never find a class that
Speaker 2: teaches how to build a wave. Surfing is the art
Speaker 2: of riding waves that God builds. No surfer tries to
Speaker 2: create waves. If the waves aren't there, you just don't
Speaker 2: surf that day. On the other hand, when a surfer
Speaker 2: sees a good wave, they make the most of it,
Speaker 2: even if it means surfing in the middle of a storm.
Speaker 2: Only God can create waves, waves of revival, waves of growth,
Speaker 2: waves of receptivity in your own life, and our job,
Speaker 2: like experienced surfers, is to recognize a wave of God's
Speaker 2: spirit and rite it. It's not our responsibility to go
Speaker 2: out into the world and make waves. It's our job
Speaker 2: to recognize how God is working in the world and
Speaker 2: join him in in the endeavor. At Saddleback Church, We've
Speaker 2: never tried to build a wave. That's God's business, but
Speaker 2: we have tried to recognize the waves that God is
Speaker 2: sending our way, and we have learned how to catch them.
Speaker 2: And the amazing thing is this, The more skilled we
Speaker 2: become in writing waves of growth, the more God sins.
Speaker 2: In my opinion, we live in the most exciting time
Speaker 2: in history and the most exciting time for the church.
Speaker 2: More people are coming to Christ now than at any
Speaker 2: other point in history. I believe God is sending waves
Speaker 2: of growth wherever his people are prepared to ride them.
Speaker 2: So my prayer at the start of every day goes
Speaker 2: like this Father, I know you're going to do some
Speaker 2: incredible things in the world today. I would like to
Speaker 2: ask you to just give me the privilege of being
Speaker 2: in on some of them. In other words, stop praying Lord,
Speaker 2: bless what I'm doing. Stop praying Lord, bless what I'm doing.
Speaker 2: Start praying Lord, help me to do what you're blessing.
Speaker 2: Big difference. Now, when a surfer wipes out because he
Speaker 2: didn't ride a wave correctly, he doesn't give up surfing.
Speaker 2: He just paddles back out in the ocean to wait
Speaker 2: for the next big wave that God sends. One thing
Speaker 2: I've observed about successful surfers is they are persistent. You
Speaker 2: may have experienced a few wipeouts in your life, well
Speaker 2: I certainly have. And you may have missed a few
Speaker 2: certain a few waves in your life, and I have too.
Speaker 2: That doesn't mean you should quit. The ocean hasn't dried up.
Speaker 2: On the contrary, at this very moment, God is creating
Speaker 2: in the world the best waves I've ever seen. Let's
Speaker 2: go catch him. Would you pray this prayer? Dear God.
Speaker 2: I want to strengthen my faith. I want to discover
Speaker 2: my identity. I want to develop my potential. I want
Speaker 2: to experience significance, and I want to make an eternal difference.
Speaker 2: So today I want to settle these five life commitments. First,
Speaker 2: I commit the rest of my life to uniting with
Speaker 2: others in worship in order to strengthen my faith and
Speaker 2: restore my joy. And then I commit to connecting with
Speaker 2: others for fellowship, to being in a small group, to
Speaker 2: being an agent of reconciliation in the world and treating
Speaker 2: everyone with respect and dignity. And then I commit to
Speaker 2: learning from others in order to grow and becoming what
Speaker 2: you want me to be. And I commit to learning
Speaker 2: to serve you by serving others in ministry, and to
Speaker 2: use what I or talent you have given me not
Speaker 2: for myself, but for the benefit of others. And I
Speaker 2: want to make an eternal difference. And I want to
Speaker 2: join with others on the mission of daring faith. And
Speaker 2: I want my part, like the little boy who gave
Speaker 2: his lunch to feed the five thousand, and to make
Speaker 2: a difference and eternity. If you've never opened your life
Speaker 2: to Christ, say Jesus Christ, come into my life right
Speaker 2: now and save me and change me. I pray this
Speaker 2: in your name. Amen.
Speaker 1: If you just prayed to receive Jesus congratulations. We would
Speaker 1: love to send you some free materials to help you
Speaker 1: along on your spiritual journey. Just email Rick at Pastorick
Speaker 1: dot com. That's Rick at pastorick dot com. You know,
Speaker 1: Daily Hope is changing lives every day. Here's Pastor Rick
Speaker 1: with a letter from one of our listeners.
Speaker 2: I started this Daily Hope ministry because I want to
Speaker 2: help you fulfill the great commission and the great commandment
Speaker 2: of Jesus Christ to love God with all your heart,
Speaker 2: love your neighbors yourself, to make disciples, to teach them
Speaker 2: to grow, and to baptize them and bring them into
Speaker 2: the Family of God. And all of these things happen
Speaker 2: when you do what God tells you to do. You
Speaker 2: were part of the effort. We are a team here
Speaker 2: at Daily Hope. Let me read your letter from Jeff,
Speaker 2: who listens to Daily Hope in Alabama and he's using
Speaker 2: all of the resources that we produce in addition to
Speaker 2: these broadcasts to help disciple other people in the Word.
Speaker 2: He wrote, Dear Pastor Rick, our adult classes at Green
Speaker 2: Valley Baptist Church here in Hoover, Alabama. Just finish your
Speaker 2: six week study kit for the series Daring Faith. I
Speaker 2: just wanted to drop you a line tell you how
Speaker 2: much we enjoyed that study and the video. Many of
Speaker 2: our class members have been going through a lot of
Speaker 2: personal tragedies, problems, and difficulties lately, and your video spoke
Speaker 2: so strongly to how we need to depend on God
Speaker 2: in our faith to help us get through both the
Speaker 2: good and bad times of life. Well, thanks Jeff for
Speaker 2: writing in first place. Second, I'm so excited to hear
Speaker 2: that you're using these resources in addition to the broadcast
Speaker 2: that we're preparing for groups and individuals and even churches
Speaker 2: and my prayers that was we put together these resources

Speaker 2: by thousands of small groups around the world to help
Speaker 2: people grow in faith and in knowledge of Jesus Christ. Now,
Speaker 2: for those of you who are listening today, there are
