What is Possible and What is my Part | Ps Rachel Eaton · Citipointe Church Caboolture

  Hey, welcome to the city point church podcast.
• 0:04
  Thanks for joining us every day is an opportunity to take hold
• 0:07
  of. So we hope this message inspires
• 0:10
  you and build your faith, but it helps you have more of a God
• 0:13
  perspective for your day. Enjoy, I want.
• 0:17
  To read out a story to you, better put on my glasses.
• 0:23
  Here we go. This is a man called Gino
• 0:27
  Bartelli. He was one of Italy's greatest
• 0:30
  cyclists, born in 1914, known as king of cycling, born into power
• 0:38
  in rural, he said that word rural country, Tuscany, near
• 0:42
  Florence. He rose to fame in his early
• 0:44
  20s, winning the Tour de France in 1938 and again in 1948 after
• 0:51
  the war, along with multiple titles.
• 0:54
  He was a devout Catholic with strong moral convictions.
• 0:58
  Bartelli displayed extraordinary courage in World War 2 following
• 1:03
  Germany's 1943 occupation of Italy, which led to the
• 1:07
  deportation of nearly 10,000 Jews, 7000 of which perished in
• 1:12
  camps. He used his celebrity and
• 1:15
  position as a military bike messenger to aid the resistance.
• 1:21
  At the request of the Catholic cardinal, who was a friend of
• 1:24
  his, Bartelli transported counterfeit identity documents
• 1:29
  between Florence and Assisi, completing at least 40 long
• 1:35
  training bikes with papers hidden in his bicycles, frame
• 1:38
  and handlebars. He also collected funds from
• 1:42
  Swiss Bank in Genoa to support hidden Jews in Florence and
• 1:45
  sheltered his Jewish friends and family in an apartment and
• 1:49
  basement. These actions that he did, they
• 1:52
  carried immense personal risk, imprisonment or death for
• 1:56
  himself and his family. Yet Batali believed that helping
• 2:01
  those in need outweighed the danger.
• 2:04
  He kept his wartime heroism a secret until his death in 2000,
• 2:09
  insisting good deeds should not be boasted about.
• 2:12
  He once told his son, if you're good at a sport, they attract
• 2:15
  medals to your shirt and then they shine in some museum.
• 2:19
  That which is earned by doing good deeds is attached to the
• 2:22
  soul and shines elsewhere. Now I I love this story and I
• 2:28
  wonder if someone like Bartelli ever sat there as a child on his
• 2:32
  little bike, riding through country Tuscany and pondered
• 2:36
  what could be possible in his life.
• 2:40
  He started out as a poor boy riding through these these
• 2:45
  country streets and his life was ordinary.
• 2:48
  But his faith and his conviction caused him to look at the 'cause
• 2:55
  that was presented around him, take what he had and to achieve
• 3:00
  extraordinary feats with the richest kind of eternal reward.
• 3:05
  I wonder for you and I if we could ponder the thought this
• 3:09
  morning, what is possible? So the title of the message is
• 3:14
  what is possible and what is our part?
• 3:19
  Because we always have a part to play.
• 3:22
  It's not just all God doing all things.
• 3:25
  We're included in the picture in Matthew 1926.
• 3:30
  Is this a problem? Do you want me to take a mic?
• 3:33
  No, OK, Matthew 1926 it reads. Jesus looked at them intently
• 3:38
  and said humanly speaking it is impossible, but with God
• 3:43
  everything is possible. With God everything is possible.
• 3:49
  In Mark 923 it reads anything is possible if a person believes So
• 3:57
  have you sat down and ever pondered the question?
• 4:01
  What's possible? The Bible encourages us to
• 4:06
  broaden our minds, ask the question, ask him the question.
• 4:11
  But while embracing one important part in this
• 4:15
  Scripture, I want to do a little bit of a dance this morning with
• 4:18
  a word and it says with God everything is possible.
• 4:25
  With Greek word there is para. I so badly wanted to find
• 4:30
  someone Greek and tell me how I did, saying that I practiced so
• 4:33
  hard. John's not even here, he's at
• 4:35
  Bribie, and so we didn't get to hear it.
• 4:39
  You could argue that the word para, it means it could mean in
• 4:46
  or of or from, but it translates better in this particular
• 4:51
  passage of Scripture as with so if I say that I went to the park
• 4:58
  with my grandson Balfa, who's present, I've got Balfa and
• 5:06
  myself. There's two people in the room.
• 5:09
  If Pastor Rachel said I'm taking all of the song leaders out to
• 5:14
  dinner, who's at dinner? We've got Pastor Rach and or the
• 5:19
  song leaders. When we use the word with it
• 5:24
  usually means yourself and someone else in the room.
• 5:30
  Our Lord Jesus, he's so relational.
• 5:36
  He's so relational. He wants to do life with you.
• 5:40
  He wants to be so close, so intricately involved in your
• 5:45
  life. Almighty God, Creator of heaven
• 5:48
  and earth, desires to do life with you.
• 5:53
  And so when he tells us anything is possible, it's anything is
• 5:57
  possible with Him, we're not excluded from the picture we're
• 6:04
  in. We're in that, that picture.
• 6:06
  We're in that diagram. It's God and it's us, which
• 6:11
  means God has a part to play in. Anything is possible, but we
• 6:16
  have a part to play. It's a partnership.
• 6:20
  It's with God. All things are possible.
• 6:26
  Sometimes we can excuse our involvement.
• 6:30
  We can say things like, well, if God wanted it to happen, he'll
• 6:33
  just go and make it happen. He's God.
• 6:36
  And I mean, God is God. He can do whatever he pleases,
• 6:39
  but it's genuinely not how he works.
• 6:43
  He likes to invite us into his will.
• 6:48
  God's will be done, which means please pray for God's will to be
• 6:52
  done. It's an invitation to partner
• 6:55
  with God with what he wants, with what he wants to establish
• 7:00
  in US and through us. He gives us the strength and the
• 7:05
  power, the enabling, the anointing to outwork that which
• 7:10
  He wants to do. He's relational.
• 7:14
  He wants to do life with. In Philippians 413 it says for I
• 7:21
  can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength?
• 7:26
  I can do. He gives strength.
• 7:30
  Why do we need strength? Why do we need strength if God's
• 7:35
  just going to go and do it all? We need strength because we have
• 7:40
  a part to play. We're not absent in the things
• 7:45
  that are possible with God. We're present in the process.
• 7:48
  So it's a partnership of Him working with us.
• 7:53
  So with God we can do all things.
• 7:57
  All things are possible to those that believe.
• 7:59
  And I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
• 8:03
  With God. We can do anything if we
• 8:07
  believe, which leads me to 4 points.
• 8:11
  I want to race through four points this morning on what is
• 8:15
  our part to play and the first one being .1.
• 8:20
  Our part is to believe. Our part is to believe.
• 8:26
  In Mark 923 we did not read that.
• 8:29
  Anything is possible if a a person ticks all of life's
• 8:33
  boxes. We didn't even read that.
• 8:36
  Anything is possible if you tick all of churches boxes.
• 8:43
  We didn't read that. Anything is possible if you're a
• 8:46
  really, really good person on your best behaviour.
• 8:51
  And we didn't read that anything is possible if you just work
• 8:55
  hard enough. Like the world loves to tell
• 8:57
  you. No, God's Holy Bible says
• 9:02
  anything is possible if a person believes.
• 9:05
  Being a good person and doing good deeds is not what qualifies
• 9:10
  us to receive from God. Faith does He made the way we
• 9:16
  are reconciled to God by His power, and believing in Him
• 9:21
  gives us access to the heavenly. It gives us access to believe
• 9:25
  what is possible out there, what is possible in here.
• 9:29
  Faith opens more doors than sin will ever close.
• 9:35
  You cannot earn His power. You cannot be good enough for
• 9:38
  it. You can't work hard enough for
• 9:40
  it. It's made available through
• 9:43
  faith, through believing. Anything is possible.
• 9:48
  For those that believe the Bible says anything, Do you believe
• 9:56
  that anything is possible? Maybe a more pointed question
• 10:02
  could be what have you deemed impossible?
• 10:09
  What have you given up on? What have you put away?
• 10:17
  I'm pretty sure that ship sailed for me.
• 10:22
  It this is this will never happen for me.
• 10:26
  I tried it and it didn't work. I can feel God's presence here
• 10:32
  wanting just to speak right into this.
• 10:36
  It's, it's almost like you've, you've started out with life and
• 10:42
  it's like a maze. You know, those really fun ones
• 10:45
  that you, you pay to run around in and you've got all of the
• 10:48
  shrubs and there's a beginning and then there is an end and
• 10:52
  there's a way through. But you've started out in this
• 10:55
  maze in all excitement, but then you hit a dead end and you're
• 10:59
  like, oh, OK, so you've gone down a different path, but you
• 11:02
  hit another dead end. And this has kept happening
• 11:07
  until you got so discouraged and convinced yourself it's just a
• 11:12
  cruel joke, and you stopped going down paths and stopped
• 11:18
  believing that there was a way through the scripture that we
• 11:25
  just read. Where is it, Mark, that anything
• 11:31
  is possible for those who believe in that particular
• 11:34
  story, that scenario, Jesus was speaking right into that kind of
• 11:40
  disappointment. Do you know the cynical people?
• 11:46
  They don't usually start out cynical.
• 11:50
  Cynical people usually start out overly optimistic with all of
• 11:58
  the energy, with all of the hope, with all of the faith, and
• 12:01
  then they hit disappointment. Then they get discouraged, they
• 12:06
  get let down, they might experience betrayal, they get
• 12:12
  hurt, disillusioned, and so they become cynical.
• 12:24
  The words of Jesus. And I just pray that that you
• 12:27
  would hear the words of Jesus because this is not my words.
• 12:31
  This is from his Bible he speaks right into.
• 12:34
  It was this kind of disappointment that he spoke
• 12:37
  into. Anything is possible for those
• 12:41
  that believe. Anything is possible for those
• 12:47
  that believe. Any situation is possible for
• 12:51
  those that believe. Any marriage can be great for
• 12:57
  those that believe any financial crisis has a way through.
• 13:03
  For those that believe restoration is possible.
• 13:09
  For those that believe transformation is possible.
• 13:13
  For those that believe spiritual freedom is possible.
• 13:20
  For those that believe anything is possible, and I even just
• 13:27
  pray in this moment that you will allow His words to Pierce
• 13:31
  your heart right now into that space that you've given up on.
• 13:36
  I can almost hear you screaming at me.
• 13:37
  Don't you give me false hope. Don't do it again.
• 13:41
  I've buried that. I've put a cap on it.
• 13:44
  I'm not revisiting that again. I pray you would hear His words
• 13:48
  that anything is possible. He created you with purpose.
• 13:54
  He created you for a plan, and it's possible if you just
• 14:00
  believe. With God, anything is possible.
• 14:12
  Our part is to believe. And so how do we then match our
• 14:16
  faith and expectation to our desired outcome?
• 14:22
  That's then in what we do, James talks about our works being as
• 14:27
  the evidence of our faith, the proof that faith exists.
• 14:32
  So point to our part is to do the work.
• 14:36
  In Philippians 212 to 13, it says work hard.
• 14:42
  I don't like that word so much work.
• 14:44
  Can't it be like work softly, work a little bit?
• 14:50
  Does it even need to be work? Define.
• 14:54
  Let's define work. I mean now it says work hard to
• 14:58
  show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep
• 15:02
  reverence and fear. For God is working in you,
• 15:05
  giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.
• 15:10
  So God has desires. How beautiful.
• 15:14
  God has desires, things that He wants to see and it's plans for
• 15:18
  good for you and for the people in and around us all.
• 15:22
  And the way that he brings forth what pleases him is to work in
• 15:27
  US and give us the power to do what pleases him.
• 15:34
  He empowers us to I just said the word.
• 15:37
  It's 2 letters starts with D wakey wake.
• 15:42
  He empowers us to do his work. It's his power, God, power our
• 15:51
  work. There's that partnership again.
• 15:53
  He'll do it, but he empowers us. It's together, it's with God.
• 15:59
  God has a part to play and we have a part to play.
• 16:03
  When we believe God for something, our actions will then
• 16:07
  prove what we believe. So when we entertain what is
• 16:12
  possible, our actions are going to be the evidence of what we
• 16:16
  believe. I have an example here.
• 16:19
  Years ago when I went to City Point N, it used to be called
• 16:23
  COC. I've got my good friend
• 16:25
  Peschelen in the auditorium here today, visiting from Sweden, a
• 16:29
  friend of more than 30 years. Do you remember how we had the
• 16:32
  shed? I don't know what it's called.
• 16:34
  Yeah, the the shed. I don't know what you call it.
• 16:36
  It's where they've got the big God bowl, that big, beautiful
• 16:38
  building now. Sorry, Epicentre.
• 16:41
  OK, there we go. I didn't know that word.
• 16:43
  I still call it the shed. So Pastor Ross Abraham, what's
• 16:48
  his title now, chairman of the Inc movement.
• 16:53
  I remember recall him giving a word and he was saying the story
• 17:00
  of how the shed, the epicentre came into being.
• 17:03
  And there was a group of them who wanted their own area for a
• 17:06
  youth service. They wanted to get this off the
• 17:08
  ground. And so a bunch of men went
• 17:10
  around on a a dirt slab and they started praying and seeking God
• 17:15
  for this building. Now the building I believe was
• 17:18
  going to cost somewhere in the vicinity of $200,000, which was
• 17:21
  a lot of money back then. And so they got together and
• 17:24
  they prayed and they believed God.
• 17:26
  And then they got to work. So they had a car wash.
• 17:34
  Pretty sure they raised about 180 bucks.
• 17:40
  And I love this story because in their own efforts, it was
• 17:45
  impossible. They were never going to raise
• 17:47
  that money washing cars. But you have to understand, God
• 17:52
  breathes and moves on faith. That's believing in Him with
• 17:58
  action. They got the money for the
• 18:01
  building and we now have what's called an epicentre.
• 18:04
  But that's because men of God stood before and petitioned him.
• 18:09
  They believed God and then got to work.
• 18:12
  We still have to do the work. It's faith and action that
• 18:18
  caused heaven to open up and then the money just started to
• 18:21
  flow. You know, if God's called you in
• 18:24
  this place to be a doctor, you still have to do the work.
• 18:30
  If I come to see you, I don't care how anointed by God you are
• 18:34
  to be a doctor. If you don't have that
• 18:36
  certificate on your wall that says graduated, you are not
• 18:40
  coming near me with a scalpel. You've still got to do the work.
• 18:45
  There's work that we have to do. We can't escape it.
• 18:50
  Genuine faith, prove through what we do.
• 18:55
  It will require testing, commitment, grit, sticking it
• 19:03
  out when things get hard. Which leads me to .3.
• 19:07
  Our part is to surrender and obey, and you might think that
• 19:14
  doing the work and obey is one of the same things.
• 19:17
  I assure you, it is not. Just because you are working
• 19:22
  hard does not mean you are being obedient.
• 19:27
  Just because you are busy does not mean you're living a life of
• 19:31
  surrender. In Romans 12/1, Let's read.
• 19:38
  And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to
• 19:42
  give your bodies to God because of all He has done for you.
• 19:46
  Let them be a living and holy sacrifice, the kind He will find
• 19:51
  acceptable. This is truly the way to worship
• 19:54
  Him. A living sacrifice.
• 19:59
  May I point out the obvious, please?
• 20:02
  It's a living sacrifice, not a dead 1.
• 20:07
  It's a living sacrifice. It's not a dead one.
• 20:12
  It says, let me clear something up.
• 20:18
  When we when we go to God and we surrender to God, sometimes we
• 20:23
  can have this attitude of oh, Lord, I just surrender
• 20:28
  everything over to you. And we get down on our knees and
• 20:33
  we're like, oh, Lord, I'll just surrender.
• 20:36
  I'm handing it all over to you. I just give you everything.
• 20:41
  I'll give you all of the work. You do it, Lord, you're good for
• 20:45
  this. I'm just an encourager.
• 20:47
  Go team God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, you got this.
• 20:51
  So I'm just oh, that feels a bit better.
• 20:53
  Yeah, take, take all of it, Lord.
• 20:56
  And you lie down. He was my pillow because this,
• 20:58
  this floor is looking pretty good on this altar.
• 21:01
  And it's Lord. I just, I lay it all down.
• 21:05
  Oh, that's good. That's a bit comfy.
• 21:10
  And we take a nap. Oh.
• 21:37
  Surrender is not just laying everything down to God.
• 21:44
  You do it, Lord. Oh, you're good, You're
• 21:46
  powerful, you're king. I just hand it all off to you.
• 21:51
  It's laying it down on the altar, but it's picking up what
• 21:58
  he wants to do. It's laying down your will and
• 22:04
  picking up God's will. What did Pastor Mills say?
• 22:09
  When we're on the floor, I'm just processing.
• 22:11
  Lord, we've got to hear, get vision, understand what He's
• 22:18
  doing, what He wants to do in and through you, and pick up
• 22:23
  what He wants us to do. We don't get to just check out.
• 22:28
  Give it all to you, God, I'm checking out.
• 22:30
  We don't get to do that as parents.
• 22:32
  Wouldn't that mean I sometimes, you know, when they're throwing
• 22:35
  tantrums? Just check out not my child
• 22:37
  today, Lord, and they're throwing up and you got the,
• 22:40
  the, the the sickness that's going on.
• 22:42
  Woo Hoo, Hoo. I'm not that person's parent.
• 22:44
  No, we don't get to do that. We have to stay for the whole
• 22:48
  process surrenders, laying down your will and picking up his
• 23:01
  your will be done. God with you, Lord, all things
• 23:06
  are possible with you laying down what we want, picking up
• 23:12
  what He wants. What do we actually think a
• 23:16
  living sacrifice means? Have you ever just, do you stop?
• 23:21
  Sometimes in scripture when you're reading the Bible, do you
• 23:24
  get to, I get to a word, sometimes I'll get 3 words in
• 23:28
  and I just stop and go. What does that actually mean?
• 23:31
  Lookout Internship. This is what I do.
• 23:35
  But to stop and go. What is it to be a living
• 23:38
  sacrifice? It's sacrifice.
• 23:44
  Sacrificial. It's obedience.
• 23:49
  It's often rolled up and like it's often displayed as rolled
• 23:53
  up sleeves, hard work. It often is faced with
• 23:58
  challenge, even heartache. Do you know why we're so slow to
• 24:03
  surrender and obey? Because it's often the very
• 24:08
  opposite of what we actually want to do.
• 24:13
  It can look terrifying, but it's why faith is required.
• 24:17
  It's why we've got to know who God is.
• 24:19
  It's why we've got to have a vision of what he's doing and,
• 24:24
  and, and tenacity to believe God for what he wants to do.
• 24:30
  Otherwise, guys, you might not make it genuine faith.
• 24:37
  You can tick all of the boxes. You can do all that this church
• 24:41
  asks you to do, but there comes a moment where you've got to get
• 24:45
  real personal with your Creator and go, you know what?
• 24:48
  I believe you. I believe in you with God.
• 24:56
  He promises to sustain us. He promises that He will be with
• 25:00
  us and there's beauty and there's rest and there's
• 25:04
  richness and there's fulfilment in his will, but we need a bit
• 25:11
  of grit. We will potentially miss what is
• 25:17
  possible if we're only looking for what's pleasurable.
• 25:26
  You'll potentially miss what's possible if all you're looking
• 25:29
  for is what brings you pleasure. Jesus cares.
• 25:34
  He cares so deeply about every detail in your life.
• 25:37
  He knows you better than he know yourself.
• 25:40
  There's fulfilment and joy in his purposes.
• 25:44
  But our faith needs to be allowed to cost us sometimes.
• 25:49
  Which leads me to .4, which is our part is to commit our way.
• 25:56
  Other word would be a line in Psalms 37 verses 3 to 6.
• 26:01
  It reads trust in the Lord and do good.
• 26:05
  Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.
• 26:08
  That's good news. Take delight in the Lord and He
• 26:12
  will give you your heart's desires.
• 26:15
  Commit everything you do to the Lord, Trust Him and He will help
• 26:21
  you. There's that partnership, God
• 26:24
  and you. He will make your innocence
• 26:27
  radiate like the dawn, and the justice of your cause will shine
• 26:33
  like the noonday. Much of what we've talked about
• 26:39
  this morning is summed up in this scripture.
• 26:41
  You know what? It's OK to have desires.
• 26:46
  It's OK to dream the impossible. But did you catch the key in
• 26:51
  there? It says commit your way to the
• 26:55
  Lord. In other words, whose agenda are
• 27:00
  you on here? Are you running on God's agenda
• 27:05
  or are you running on your own agenda?
• 27:09
  Do we set our agenda and then just try and fit Jesus in it?
• 27:14
  This is what I'm doing, Lord, this is what my life's about.
• 27:16
  Need a new kitchen, got to pay for school fees over here hoping
• 27:20
  to restore, you know, or do something with this building
• 27:23
  over there. And then I'll come to church on
• 27:25
  Sunday, say a quick prayer and try and fit Jesus in.
• 27:29
  Whose agenda are you on? You might, you might be crying
• 27:32
  and going. I have tried.
• 27:35
  I've believed God for things and he hasn't shown up.
• 27:39
  I've got to ask the question, whose agenda are you on?
• 27:43
  He invites you to jump on his agenda.
• 27:47
  You will never experience more fulfillment than when you do.
• 27:52
  You will never experience more satisfaction.
• 27:55
  You will be blown away by what he can do with your life.
• 27:59
  By then you can take your mess and he'll actually turn it into
• 28:03
  a message. When you jump on his agenda, he
• 28:06
  can pour life into it. He can pour hope into it.
• 28:09
  It's amazing what He will do, and I'm reminded of that
• 28:13
  scripture that says when you seek the Lord, all of these
• 28:16
  things will be added unto you. It all gets sorted out when you
• 28:20
  jump on His agenda. All things are possible.
• 28:25
  He'll use all of it. Musos, could I just get you to
• 28:30
  jump on up with me please? Is our cause about ourself?
• 28:37
  What are we about? Or is it actually about?
• 28:39
  Jesus is our cause Christ is our cause, His gospel message?
• 28:45
  Is our cause to see freedom, spiritual transformation in US,
• 28:52
  and reform in our region? Is our life aligned with His
• 28:57
  will, what He desires, and what He wants to do?
• 29:01
  When we pray, many people come to God and think that it's
• 29:06
  begging God for Him to do what we want to do.
• 29:10
  It's actually flipped. God has things that He wants to
• 29:13
  do, that He wants to establish, that He wants to breathe.
• 29:17
  He's told us all about it in here.
• 29:20
  If you want to know what God wants, open up His Word.
• 29:23
  There are 8000 plus promises in here for you and for our region.
• 29:28
  So God wants to do these things. So when we pray, it's not us
• 29:32
  begging Him to do what we want. It's us coming in to align with
• 29:36
  what He wants to do. And no thing will be impossible
• 29:39
  for you. Nothing will be impossible for
• 29:43
  you. When we align ourselves in His
• 29:46
  desire, His will ask and you will actually receive.
• 29:57
  There are promises in here, thousands of them.
• 30:02
  But when we talk about God's promises, sometimes we skim over
• 30:06
  the fact that there's usually conditions.
• 30:10
  You might go conditions. It's like, yes, there's
• 30:14
  conditions that we are invited to believe, work at, obey, and
• 30:22
  align with. There's a part God plays and
• 30:26
  there's a part we play. He empowers.
• 30:29
  It's our part to obey. He does the transformation.
• 30:34
  It's our part to walk in step with Holy Spirit.
• 30:38
  He provides. Oh, He provides.
• 30:43
  He provides. There's our job to steward.
• 30:49
  He initiates. It's our job to respond.
• 30:54
  And he saves. Oh, he saves.
• 30:59
  It's our part to believe. If we want to see social reform
• 31:07
  in our region, God actually says that he will heal our land.
• 31:14
  He says it our part was to humble ourselves, see God, pray,
• 31:24
  turn from wickedness. What would our region look like?
• 31:29
  Healed. Paint a picture.
• 31:36
  I see beauty, I see prosperity. I see Centenary Lakes, that
• 31:45
  whole side cleaned up. I see cafes, boardwalks.
• 31:51
  I see high rises. I see a little sectioned off
• 31:54
  area in that lake where where you've got little tugboats that
• 31:58
  families can go and hire and get out on the lake.
• 32:04
  I see Peace hospital beds empty because mental health has calmed
• 32:16
  right down. And I see sound minds.
• 32:20
  I see people, godly people, in positions of influence in our
• 32:24
  governments, schools, public services.
• 32:29
  I see that there's an answer for homeless people, that anyone who
• 32:35
  so chooses to be in a home will have access to a a house with
• 32:40
  enmities and a lockable door. What do you see?
• 32:49
  What's your part in God's big story?
• 32:54
  Because we have a part to play. He wants to do it, but not
• 33:00
  everything that happens is God's will.
• 33:05
  We get to choose to partner with Him, to bring about what he
• 33:09
  wants to do. And we are so honoured that the
• 33:12
  God of the universe would choose you and I to be his answer for
• 33:15
  humanity. To introduce them to the God who
• 33:19
  cares, to introduce them to the God who sees, who has a plan,
• 33:24
  who wants to work with you. Do you know Him this morning?
