  Welcome to the for freedom podcast this podcast exists to

  bring the freedom of the gospel for everyday Christians with
• 0:20
  everyday issues I. Ain't saved by dress codes, not
• 0:23
  by what I eat. I'm covered in the righteousness
• 0:26
  washed from head to feet. No tally of tradition.
• 0:28
  No man made code. Blood bought my freedom.
• 0:31
  Now I ride that road. They clutch pearls when they see
• 0:33
  smoke rings rise. But my praise still ascends past
• 0:37
  the legalist cries. Christ plus nothing.
• 0:39
  That's the real math. So miss me with your fence laws
• 0:42
  and your extra pass. He sat with sinners, I'm sitting
• 0:45
  with Saints. Slipping grace from the bottle.

  No room for face. I like one for liberty.
• 0:50
  Toast to the king. Every ash of sermon.

  Let the flame now puffing peace, cigars and victory justified,
• 1:15
  released. Let grace begin for fruit on me,
• 1:18
  dead me free. Not for change, not for guilt,
• 1:21
  not for Pharisee grace. Lift the flame now.
• 1:24
  Here are your hosts. James Seyfried and Brett Martin
• 1:29
  performed. As he was passing by, he saw a
• 1:32
  man blind for birth. His disciples questioned the
• 1:35
  rabbi who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born
• 1:39
  blind. Neither this man nor his
• 1:40
  parents, seeing that Jesus answered this came about so that
• 1:44
  God's word it might be displayed in him.
• 1:48
  We must do the works of him who sent me while I while one of his
• 1:52
  day. Night is coming when no one can
• 1:54
  work as long as I am in the world, I am the light of.
• 1:59
  After he said these things, he stood on the ground, made some
• 2:02
  mud from the saliva, and spread the mud on his eyes.
• 2:05
  Go, he told him, wash in the pool of Shalom, which means sin.
• 2:11
  So he left, washed and came back to see his neighbors and those
• 2:15
  who formerly and seen him as a beggar said.
• 2:23
  Isn't this the man who sat there?
• 2:25
  Some said. He's the.
• 2:27
  He's the one, no others were saying he, but he looks like
• 2:30
  him. He kept saying I'm the one.
• 2:33
  Therefore they asked him then how were your eyes open?
• 2:37
  And he answered The man called Jesus made mud, spread it on my
• 2:41
  eyes and told me go to Shalom and wash.
• 2:45
  So I went and washed and I received my sight.
• 2:48
  Where is he they asked. I don't know.
• 2:51
  He said yes, we just pray Father God, we are all thankful to be
• 2:56
  here. I was thankful for this
• 2:58
  opportunity God to see this place, this wonderful place.
• 3:03
  Father what we know that great miracle and taking place and
• 3:08
  Jesus was here and healed a man born blind and we don't know
• 3:12
  maybe he healed others while he was here.
• 3:14
  We're thankful for that we're thankful for this opportunity.
• 3:17
  We're thankful for that man. You know that he's got sight
• 3:20
  class, but he also received what was most such from Jesus and,
• 3:27
  and, and, and, and salvation. Father, we're thankful for this
• 3:31
  opportunity. We're thankful for this place.
• 3:33
  We're thankful, Father, for all that we see.
• 3:36
  Lord, and I pray that you continue to bless us.
• 3:39
  Continue to bless this place and bless this people.
• 3:42
  We. Love you, praise you and thank
• 3:43
  you in Jesus name. Some of you may not know, but
• 3:49
  where we're standing is the southern steps, as he just said,
• 3:52
  as we're entering into the temple.
• 3:56
  And this would have most likely been the place where Peter stood
• 4:00
  and preached on the day of Pentecost.
• 4:02
  So I'm going to read for us Acts chapter 2 and just give you one
• 4:04
  quick encouraging word that said Peter stood up with the 11,
• 4:08
  raised his voice and proclaimed fellow Jews and all residents of
• 4:14
  it Jerusalem, let this be known unto you today and pay attention
• 4:17
  to my words. For these people are not drunk
• 4:20
  as you suppose, since there's only 9 in the morning.
• 4:23
  On the contrary, this is what was spoken to the prophet Joel.
• 4:26
  And it'll be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out
• 4:29
  my spirit and on all my people. Then your sons and daughters
• 4:32
  will prophecy, your young men will see visions, and your old
• 4:35
  men will dream dreams. I will even pour out my spirit
• 4:38
  on the servants in those days. Both men and women in those days
• 4:41
  will prophecy. I will display the wonders of
• 4:44
  heaven above the signs of the earth and below the blood and
• 4:46
  fire. With a cloud of smoke.
• 4:48
  The sun will be turned Into Darkness, and the moon in the
• 4:51
  blood. And before the great glorious
• 4:52
  day of the Lord comes, then everyone who calls on the name
• 4:56
  of the Lord will be saved. That's verses 14 to 21.
• 4:59
  There's a passage where he preaches longer, but I'm going
• 5:02
  to skip down to verses 37 to 38. This says when they heard this
• 5:07
  they were pierced to their heart and they said to Peter and the
• 5:10
  rest of the apostles brothers, what should we do?
• 5:16
  And Peter replied a simple reply, repent and be baptized
• 5:21
  each and everyone of you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ
• 5:23
  for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the
• 5:26
  gift of the Holy Spirit. This is the scene where Peter
• 5:30
  stood and preached to these people.
• 5:32
  The Bible records that as you read the next verse that 3000
• 5:35
  men repented and 3000 men got saved that day.
• 5:40
  They would have likely went down.
• 5:41
  We passed a mikvah right over here.
• 5:43
  They would have likely went down in that mikvah and gotten
• 5:45
  baptized right there. And Peter would have had the
• 5:48
  very first baptism service for the very first church service
• 5:51
  that was existed in the book of Acts.
• 5:54
  And the men that were there said, what should we do with
• 5:58
  this information that we've been given?
• 6:00
  And Peter replied the same message that we have today.
• 6:03
  Repent, believe on Jesus and receive the Holy Spirit.
• 6:08
  We have the same message. We have the same power we get to
• 6:11
  experience on the steps that that happened here today
• 6:15
  ourselves. Father, we thank you for this
• 6:17
  day. We thank you for my heart been
• 6:20
  overwhelmed by walking the pilgrims path up this way as we
• 6:24
  took in the sights that we took in all the different areas where
• 6:31
  Jesus would have stopped and he would have told that his
• 6:33
  disciples would have asked him questions.
• 6:35
  Lord, we got to experience that. We saw the wall where you would
• 6:38
  have came up and we saw where Peter would have stood today and
• 6:41
  preached. Father, my heart is encouraged.
• 6:44
  My heart is overwhelmed as I recently finished preaching the
• 6:47
  book of Acts where we got to see and experience the church, the
• 6:50
  birth of the church, but it just doesn't end there.
• 6:53
  God, we, we have now had the opportunity as Acts ends to take
• 6:57
  on the message of the gospel and to continue to proclaim it
• 7:00
  forward. Help us to have the boldness
• 7:02
  that Peter had. Peter didn't shy away.
• 7:04
  He could have, he was, he denied Jesus.
• 7:06
  He, he made mistakes, he made problems in his life and yet he
• 7:09
  put those things away to come forward and to preach this
• 7:13
  glorious message that we heard. Lord, help us to be bold for you
• 7:16
  and to share the message of the gospel so that people would ask
• 7:19
  the questions. What do we do now?
• 7:22
  My heart is stirred and I've got to do something.
• 7:25
  Help us to have that same boldness today.
• 7:27
  Father, in your name we pray. Amen.
• 8:04
  I. Found my new name, found that
• 9:10
  good grace, found that healing. And the tears fell down my face
• 9:16
  when I found my beginning. It has no ending.
• 9:20
  I found that second chance, found my best friend, Found my.
