• 1:13
  girls. And ladies and gentlemen, Luke
• 1:16
  chapter 5, One day is Jesus was preaching
• 1:31
  on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, great crowds pressed in
• 1:35
  on him to listen to the word of God.
• 1:37
  He noticed two empty boats at the water's edge for the
• 1:40
  fishermen had left them and we're washing their Nets.
• 1:43
  Stepping into one of the boats. Jesus asked Simon its owner to
• 1:47
  push it out into the water so we sat in the boat and taught the
• 1:51
  crowds from there when he had finished speaking.
• 1:54
  He said to Simon now go out. Where it is deeper and let down
• 1:58
  your nets to catch some fish Master.
• 2:02
  Simon replied. We worked hard all last night
• 2:05
  and didn't catch a thing but if you say so I'll let the Nets
• 2:09
  down again. And this time their Nets were so
• 2:14
  full of fish, they began to tear a shout for help, brought their
• 2:18
  Partners in the other boat. And soon both Boats were filled
• 2:21
  with fish, on the verge of sinking when Simon Peter
• 2:25
  realized what had happened? He fell to his knees before
• 2:29
  Jesus and said, oh, Lord, please the leave me.
• 2:33
  I'm such a sinful man. For, he was awestruck by the
• 2:37
  number of fish. They had caught as were the
• 2:39
  others with him. His Partners James, and John's,
• 2:43
  the sons of Zebedee were also amazed.
• 2:46
  Jesus replied to Simon. Don't Be Afraid from now on.
• 2:51
  You'll be fishing for people and as soon as they landed, they
• 2:55
  left everything and followed Jesus.
• 2:59
  In one of the villages Jesus met a man with an advanced case of
• 3:02
  leprosy when the man saw Jesus. He bowed with his face to the
• 3:07
  ground, begging to be healed. Lord, he said if you are
• 3:12
  willing, you can heal me and make me clean.
• 3:16
  Jesus reached out and touched him.
• 3:19
  I am willing, he said be healed. And instantly the leprosy
• 3:24
  disappeared. Then Jesus instructed him not to
• 3:28
  tell anyone what had happened. He said, go to the priest and
• 3:32
  let him examine you take along. The offering required in the law
• 3:35
  of Moses. For those who have been healed
• 3:37
  of leprosy, this will be a public testimony that you have
• 3:41
  been cleansed. But despite Jesus instructions,
• 3:45
  the report of his power spread even faster and vast crowds came
• 3:50
  to hear him preach and to be healed.
• 3:52
  Of their diseases, but Jesus often withdrew to the Wilderness
• 3:56
  for prayer. One day while Jesus was teaching
• 4:01
  some Pharisees and teachers of religious law was sitting
• 4:04
  nearby, it seemed that these men showed up from every village in
• 4:08
  all Galilee and Judea as well as from Jerusalem and the Lord's.
• 4:13
  Healing power was strongly with Jesus.
• 4:16
  Some men came carrying a paralyzed, man and a sleeping
• 4:19
  mat that tried to take him inside the Jesus, but they
• 4:23
  couldn't reach him because of the crowd.
• 4:25
  So they went up on the roof and took off some tiles.
• 4:28
  Then they lowered the sick, man, on his mat.
• 4:31
  Down into the crowd, right in front of Jesus, seeing their
• 4:35
  faith, Jesus said to the man, young man, your sins are
• 4:40
  forgiven, but the Pharisees and the teachers of religious law
• 4:44
  said to themselves who does he think he is, that's blasphemy.
• 4:49
  Only God can forgive sins. Jesus knew what they were
• 4:53
  thinking so he asked them. Why do you question this in your
• 4:57
  hearts is it easier to say your sins are forgiven or stand up
• 5:02
  and walk? So I will prove to you that the
• 5:05
  son of man has the authority on Earth to forgive sins.
• 5:09
  Then Jesus, turned to the paralyzed, man and said, stand
• 5:13
  up. Pick up your mat and go home.
• 5:17
  And immediately as everyone watched, the man jumped up
• 5:21
  picked up his mat and went to Home.
• 5:23
  Praising God. Everyone with gripped with great
• 5:27
  wonder and or and they praised God exclaiming, we have seen
• 5:32
  amazing things today. Later as Jesus left the town.
• 5:39
  He saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at his Tax
• 5:42
  Collectors Booth. Follow me and be my disciple.
• 5:46
  Jesus said to him, so, Levi, got up left everything and followed
• 5:51
  him later, Levi, held a banquet in his Home With Jesus as the
• 5:56
  guest of honor, many of Levi's fellow tax collectors, and other
• 5:59
  guests also ate with them, but the Pharisees and their teachers
• 6:03
  of religious law, complained bitterly.
• 6:06
  Surly to Jesus disciples. Why do you eat and drink with
• 6:10
  such scum? Jesus answered them, healthy
• 6:14
  people don't need a doctor sick. People do I have come to call?
• 6:19
  Not those who think they are righteous.
• 6:21
  But those who know they are sinners and need to repent.
• 6:27
  One day, some people said to Jesus, John the Baptist's
• 6:30
  disciples fast and pray regularly and so did the
• 6:33
  Disciples of the Pharisees. Why are your disciples always
• 6:37
  eating and drinking? Jesus replied, do wedding guests
• 6:41
  fast while celebrating with the groom, of course not.
• 6:46
  But someday the groom will be taken from them and then they
• 6:50
  will fast then. Jesus gave them this
• 6:54
  illustration. No one tears.
• 6:56
  A piece of old cloth from a new garment and uses it to patch an
• 7:00
  old garment for. Then the new Garmin would be
• 7:03
  ruined and the new patch wouldn't even match the old
• 7:06
  garment and no one puts new wine into Old wineskins for the new
• 7:12
  wine would burst the wineskins, spilling the wine and ruining
• 7:15
  the Skins, new wine must be stored in new wineskins.
• 7:20
  But no one who drinks the old wine seems to want the new one.
• 7:24
  The old is just fine. Fine, they say.
• 7:38
  Jesus, you make all things new. And as you shared with that
• 7:43
  crowd doesn't make sense to put a new patch of cloth onto an old
• 7:48
  garment or new wine into Old wineskins.
• 7:52
  Just like it doesn't make sense to try and hem you in or try and
• 7:56
  squeeze you into a box of understanding in the old system,
• 8:00
  in our old way of being, because you bring about a whole new way
• 8:05
  of being a whole new covenant with, we can relate to God in a
• 8:10
  completely different way. You change everything, Jesus old
• 8:16
  systems just won't do. And so we shed our old systems,
• 8:21
  we lay down our old wineskins, our old garments, and we pray
• 8:26
  that you would not just patch ass up at that.
• 8:28
  You would transform us so that we can live in the light of your
• 8:33
  grace. Not always trying to do the
• 8:36
  right thing to earn our way into your presence and favor.
• 8:40
  But accepting that is a Gift and responding living in a way.
• 8:46
  That brings you glory. Chase's.
• 8:49
  You are a game changer and we love you and we worship you and
• 8:55
  we are so grateful for you making all things new, that's in
• 9:00
  your name that we pray. Amen.
• 8:49
  Chase's. You are a game changer and we
• 8:53
  love you and we worship you and we are so grateful for you
• 8:57
  making all things new, that's in your name that we pray.
• 9:02
  Amen.
