  Here's
• 1:00
  today's
• 1:00
  reading.
• 1:01
  Reading
• 1:01
  today
• 1:02
  from
• 1:02
  the
• 1:02
  gospel
• 1:02
  of
• 1:03
  Matthew
• 1:03
  9:27
• 1:04
  34
• 1:05
  from
• 1:05
  the
• 1:05
  Message
• 1:07
  Become
• 1:07
  what
• 1:08
  you
• 1:08
  believe.
• 1:09
  As
• 1:10
  Jesus
• 1:10
  left
• 1:10
  the
• 1:10
  house,
• 1:11
  he
• 1:11
  was
• 1:11
  followed
• 1:11
  by
• 1:11
  two
• 1:12
  blind
• 1:12
  men
• 1:13
  crying
• 1:13
  out,
• 1:14
  mercy,
• 1:16
  son
• 1:16
  of
• 1:16
  David,
• 1:17
  mercy
• 1:18
  on
• 1:18
  us.
• 1:20
  When
• 1:20
  Jesus
• 1:20
  got
• 1:20
  home,
• 1:21
  the
• 1:21
  blind
• 1:21
  men
• 1:21
  went
• 1:22
  in
• 1:22
  with
• 1:22
  him
• 1:22
  and
• 1:22
  Jesus
• 1:23
  said
• 1:23
  to
• 1:23
  them,
• 1:24
  do
• 1:24
  you
• 1:24
  really
• 1:25
  believe
• 1:25
  I
• 1:25
  can
• 1:25
  do
• 1:26
  this?
• 1:26
  And
• 1:26
  they
• 1:27
  said,
• 1:27
  why
• 1:28
  yes
• 1:28
  master.
• 1:30
  He
• 1:30
  touched
• 1:31
  their
• 1:31
  eyes
• 1:32
  and
• 1:32
  said,
• 1:33
  become
• 1:34
  what
• 1:34
  you
• 1:34
  believe.
• 1:35
  And
• 1:35
  it
• 1:36
  happened.
• 1:36
  They
• 1:36
  saw.
• 1:37
  Then
• 1:38
  Jesus
• 1:38
  became
• 1:39
  very
• 1:39
  stern.
• 1:40
  Don't
• 1:40
  let
• 1:41
  a
• 1:41
  soul
• 1:42
  know
• 1:42
  how
• 1:43
  this
• 1:43
  happened.
• 1:44
  But
• 1:44
  they
• 1:44
  were
• 1:45
  hardly
• 1:45
  out
• 1:45
  the
• 1:45
  door
• 1:46
  before
• 1:46
  they
• 1:46
  started
• 1:46
  babbling
• 1:48
  it
• 1:48
  to
• 1:48
  everyone
• 1:48
  they
• 1:49
  met.
• 1:50
  Right
• 1:50
  after
• 1:51
  that,
• 1:51
  as
• 1:51
  the
• 1:51
  blind
• 1:52
  men
• 1:52
  were
• 1:52
  leaving,
• 1:53
  a
• 1:54
  man
• 1:54
  who
• 1:54
  had
• 1:54
  been
• 1:54
  struck
• 1:55
  speechless
• 1:56
  by
• 1:56
  an
• 1:56
  evil
• 1:57
  spirit
• 1:57
  was
• 1:58
  brought
• 1:58
  to
• 1:58
  Jesus.
• 2:00
  As
• 2:00
  soon
• 2:01
  as
• 2:01
  Jesus
• 2:01
  threw
• 2:01
  the
• 2:02
  evil
• 2:02
  spirit
• 2:02
  tormenting
• 2:03
  him
• 2:03
  out,
• 2:04
  the
• 2:04
  man
• 2:05
  talked
• 2:05
  away,
• 2:06
  just
• 2:06
  as
• 2:06
  he
• 2:07
  had
• 2:07
  been
• 2:07
  talking
• 2:07
  all
• 2:07
  his
• 2:08
  life.
• 2:09
  The
• 2:09
  people
• 2:10
  were
• 2:10
  up
• 2:10
  on
• 2:10
  their
• 2:10
  feet
• 2:10
  applauding.
• 2:11
  There's
• 2:11
  never
• 2:12
  been
• 2:12
  anything
• 2:12
  like
• 2:12
  this
• 2:12
  in
• 2:13
  Israel.
• 2:15
  The
• 2:15
  Pharisees
• 2:15
  were
• 2:15
  left
• 2:16
  sputtering,
• 2:17
  smoke
• 2:17
  and
• 2:17
  mirrors.
• 2:19
  There's
• 2:19
  nothing
• 2:19
  here
• 2:20
  but
• 2:20
  smoke
• 2:20
  and
• 2:20
  mirrors.
• 2:22
  He's
• 2:22
  probably
• 2:23
  made
• 2:24
  a
• 2:24
  pact
• 2:25
  with
• 2:25
  the
• 2:26
  devil.
• 2:28
  Well,
• 2:29
  that
• 2:30
  ends
• 2:30
  the
• 2:30
  reading
• 2:31
  of
• 2:31
  the
• 2:31
  scripture,
• 2:31
  friends
• 2:32
  and
• 2:32
  I
• 2:32
  want
• 2:33
  to
• 2:33
  thank
• 2:33
  you
• 2:33
  for
• 2:33
  joining
• 2:33
  me
• 2:33
  today
• 2:34
  wherever
• 2:35
  you
• 2:35
  find
• 2:35
  yourself.
• 2:36
  Maybe
• 2:37
  you're
• 2:37
  in
• 2:37
  your
• 2:37
  car,
• 2:37
  maybe
• 2:38
  you're
• 2:38
  out
• 2:38
  working
• 2:38
  out
• 2:39
  or
• 2:39
  folding
• 2:39
  laundry.
• 2:39
  Whatever
• 2:40
  you
• 2:40
  do.
• 2:41
  I'm
• 2:41
  just
• 2:41
  glad
• 2:41
  that
• 2:41
  you're
• 2:42
  here
• 2:42
  with
• 2:42
  me
• 2:42
  as
• 2:42
  we
• 2:42
  go
• 2:43
  a
• 2:43
  little
• 2:43
  deeper
• 2:45
  into
• 2:45
  this
• 2:45
  scene.
• 2:45
  And
• 2:46
  what
• 2:46
  a
• 2:46
  scene
• 2:46
  it
• 2:46
  is,
• 2:47
  right?
• 2:47
  It's
• 2:48
  incredible
• 2:49
  scene
• 2:50
  where
• 2:50
  Jesus
• 2:51
  encounters
• 2:52
  the
• 2:53
  blind
• 2:54
  and
• 2:54
  those
• 2:54
  who
• 2:54
  can't
• 2:54
  speak
• 2:57
  and
• 2:57
  calls
• 2:57
  upon
• 2:57
  them
• 2:58
  to
• 2:58
  believe.
• 3:00
  Let's
• 3:00
  talk
• 3:00
  about
• 3:00
  two
• 3:01
  points
• 3:01
  to
• 3:01
  ponder.
• 3:02
  I
• 3:02
  want
• 3:02
  you
• 3:02
  to
• 3:02
  sit
• 3:02
  with
• 3:03
  the
• 3:04
  first.
• 3:06
  Become
• 3:07
  what
• 3:07
  you
• 3:07
  believe.
• 3:09
  That
• 3:09
  might
• 3:09
  be
• 3:09
  one
• 3:09
  of
• 3:10
  the
• 3:10
  most
• 3:10
  Radical
• 3:10
  things
• 3:10
  Jesus
• 3:11
  ever
• 3:11
  said.
• 3:11
  And
• 3:12
  I
• 3:12
  think
• 3:12
  sometimes
• 3:12
  we
• 3:13
  just
• 3:13
  kind
• 3:13
  of
• 3:13
  breeze
• 3:14
  right
• 3:14
  past
• 3:14
  it.
• 3:15
  Notice
• 3:16
  what
• 3:16
  Jesus
• 3:17
  didn't
• 3:17
  say.
• 3:18
  He
• 3:18
  didn't
• 3:19
  say
• 3:19
  believe
• 3:19
  the
• 3:19
  right
• 3:20
  doctrine.
• 3:21
  He
• 3:21
  didn't
• 3:22
  say
• 3:22
  pass
• 3:23
  a
• 3:23
  biblical
• 3:24
  or
• 3:24
  a
• 3:24
  theological
• 3:25
  exam.
• 3:27
  He
• 3:27
  said,
• 3:27
  become
• 3:29
  what
• 3:29
  you
• 3:29
  believe.
• 3:32
  That's
• 3:32
  an
• 3:32
  invitation
• 3:33
  to
• 3:33
  transformation,
• 3:34
  not
• 3:34
  a
• 3:34
  checklist.
• 3:36
  And
• 3:36
  here's
• 3:37
  where
• 3:37
  this
• 3:37
  gets
• 3:37
  really
• 3:38
  interesting
• 3:38
  to
• 3:38
  me.
• 3:40
  What
• 3:40
  you
• 3:41
  believe
• 3:41
  about
• 3:41
  yourself
• 3:41
  and
• 3:42
  about
• 3:42
  other
• 3:42
  people,
• 3:43
  about
• 3:43
  what
• 3:44
  God
• 3:44
  is
• 3:44
  up
• 3:44
  to
• 3:44
  in
• 3:45
  the
• 3:45
  world
• 3:45
  that
• 3:46
  actually
• 3:46
  shapes
• 3:47
  who
• 3:47
  you
• 3:47
  become.
• 3:49
  If
• 3:49
  you
• 3:49
  believe
• 3:49
  God
• 3:50
  is
• 3:50
  mostly
• 3:50
  angry
• 3:50
  and
• 3:51
  keeping
• 3:51
  score,
• 3:51
  you
• 3:52
  tend
• 3:52
  to
• 3:52
  become
• 3:52
  a
• 3:52
  person
• 3:53
  who
• 3:53
  is
• 3:54
  angry
• 3:54
  and
• 3:55
  keeping
• 3:55
  score.
• 3:55
  If
• 3:56
  you
• 3:56
  believe
• 3:56
  that
• 3:56
  God's
• 3:56
  mercy
• 3:57
  is
• 3:57
  real
• 3:57
  and
• 3:58
  wide
• 3:58
  and
• 3:59
  reckless,
• 3:59
  you.
• 3:59
  You
• 4:00
  start
• 4:00
  to
• 4:00
  become
• 4:00
  a
• 4:00
  person
• 4:01
  who
• 4:01
  extends
• 4:02
  the
• 4:02
  same
• 4:02
  mercy
• 4:03
  to
• 4:04
  others.
• 4:04
  And
• 4:06
  I
• 4:06
  think
• 4:06
  about
• 4:06
  sometimes
• 4:07
  the
• 4:07
  folks
• 4:07
  I
• 4:07
  deal
• 4:07
  with.
• 4:07
  I
• 4:08
  have
• 4:08
  a
• 4:08
  cancer
• 4:09
  podcast.
• 4:09
  I'm
• 4:09
  a
• 4:09
  cancer
• 4:10
  survivor
• 4:10
  myself.
• 4:12
  And
• 4:12
  the
• 4:13
  ones
• 4:13
  who
• 4:13
  believe
• 4:13
  there's
• 4:14
  still
• 4:14
  goodness
• 4:14
  available
• 4:15
  in
• 4:15
  this
• 4:15
  life,
• 4:15
  in
• 4:16
  this
• 4:16
  world,
• 4:16
  even
• 4:16
  though
• 4:16
  they
• 4:16
  deal
• 4:17
  with
• 4:17
  cancer,
• 4:18
  even
• 4:18
  the
• 4:18
  middle
• 4:18
  of
• 4:18
  treatment
• 4:19
  and
• 4:19
  all
• 4:19
  the
• 4:20
  pain
• 4:20
  of
• 4:21
  the
• 4:21
  hard
• 4:22
  season
• 4:22
  of
• 4:22
  life
• 4:22
  that
• 4:23
  they're
• 4:23
  in,
• 4:24
  they
• 4:25
  don't
• 4:25
  just
• 4:25
  think
• 4:25
  differently,
• 4:26
  they
• 4:26
  live
• 4:26
  differently.
• 4:28
  They
• 4:28
  become
• 4:29
  what
• 4:29
  they
• 4:29
  believe.
• 4:30
  So
• 4:31
  we're
• 4:31
  not
• 4:31
  talking
• 4:31
  about
• 4:31
  wishful
• 4:32
  thinking
• 4:32
  here.
• 4:32
  It's
• 4:33
  the
• 4:33
  slow,
• 4:34
  honest
• 4:34
  work
• 4:35
  of
• 4:35
  letting
• 4:36
  your
• 4:36
  deepest
• 4:37
  convictions
• 4:38
  shape
• 4:38
  and
• 4:39
  reshape
• 4:39
  you
• 4:40
  from
• 4:40
  the
• 4:40
  inside
• 4:41
  out.
• 4:43
  Second
• 4:43
  point
• 4:43
  to
• 4:44
  ponder.
• 4:45
  Look
• 4:45
  at
• 4:45
  the
• 4:45
  two
• 4:45
  reactions
• 4:46
  at
• 4:46
  the
• 4:46
  end
• 4:46
  of
• 4:46
  the
• 4:46
  passage.
• 4:47
  The
• 4:48
  crowd
• 4:48
  is
• 4:48
  on
• 4:48
  their
• 4:48
  feet
• 4:49
  in
• 4:49
  wonder.
• 4:50
  The
• 4:50
  fear
• 4:50
  is,
• 4:50
  he's
• 4:51
  a
• 4:51
  splitter.
• 4:51
  Oh,
• 4:52
  smoking
• 4:52
  mirrors.
• 4:54
  The
• 4:54
  same
• 4:55
  event
• 4:55
  happens.
• 4:56
  Some
• 4:56
  people
• 4:56
  cheering,
• 4:56
  some
• 4:57
  people
• 4:57
  jeering
• 4:58
  completely
• 4:59
  for
• 4:59
  different
• 4:59
  responses.
• 5:01
  I
• 5:01
  think
• 5:01
  this
• 5:02
  tells
• 5:02
  us
• 5:02
  something
• 5:03
  important.
• 5:03
  What
• 5:03
  happens
• 5:03
  when
• 5:04
  God
• 5:04
  shows
• 5:04
  up
• 5:04
  in
• 5:05
  ways
• 5:05
  that
• 5:06
  don't
• 5:06
  fit
• 5:07
  the
• 5:07
  approved
• 5:08
  script,
• 5:09
  according
• 5:10
  to
• 5:10
  others.
• 5:10
  See,
• 5:11
  the
• 5:11
  Pharisees
• 5:11
  weren't
• 5:11
  necessarily
• 5:12
  bad
• 5:12
  people.
• 5:13
  They
• 5:13
  were
• 5:13
  religious
• 5:14
  professionals
• 5:15
  who
• 5:15
  built
• 5:15
  their
• 5:15
  whole
• 5:15
  identity
• 5:16
  around
• 5:17
  being
• 5:17
  the
• 5:17
  ones
• 5:17
  who
• 5:18
  understood
• 5:18
  God.
• 5:19
  So
• 5:19
  when
• 5:19
  something
• 5:20
  out
• 5:20
  of
• 5:20
  their
• 5:20
  understanding,
• 5:21
  healing
• 5:22
  and
• 5:22
  liberation
• 5:23
  happened
• 5:23
  outside
• 5:23
  the
• 5:24
  the
• 5:24
  system,
• 5:26
  they
• 5:27
  couldn't
• 5:27
  really
• 5:27
  celebrate
• 5:27
  it.
• 5:28
  They
• 5:28
  were
• 5:28
  threatened
• 5:28
  by
• 5:28
  it.
• 5:29
  They
• 5:29
  had
• 5:30
  to
• 5:30
  discredit
• 5:30
  it.
• 5:30
  Smoke
• 5:31
  and
• 5:31
  mirrors,
• 5:31
  they
• 5:32
  said.
• 5:33
  And
• 5:33
  my,
• 5:33
  my
• 5:33
  friend,
• 5:34
  that
• 5:34
  still
• 5:34
  happens
• 5:34
  today.
• 5:35
  Don't
• 5:35
  you
• 5:35
  know,
• 5:36
  when
• 5:36
  marginalized
• 5:37
  people
• 5:38
  find
• 5:38
  their
• 5:38
  voice,
• 5:40
  it's
• 5:40
  kind
• 5:40
  of
• 5:40
  like
• 5:40
  the
• 5:41
  man
• 5:41
  who
• 5:41
  was
• 5:41
  struck
• 5:41
  speechless
• 5:42
  and
• 5:42
  then
• 5:43
  suddenly
• 5:43
  talked
• 5:44
  as
• 5:44
  if
• 5:44
  he's
• 5:45
  been
• 5:45
  talking
• 5:45
  his
• 5:45
  whole
• 5:45
  life.
• 5:47
  There
• 5:47
  will
• 5:47
  always
• 5:48
  be
• 5:48
  someone
• 5:48
  who's
• 5:48
  saying,
• 5:49
  this
• 5:49
  isn't
• 5:49
  real.
• 5:50
  This
• 5:50
  is
• 5:50
  nothing
• 5:50
  to
• 5:51
  this.
• 5:52
  That
• 5:52
  doesn't
• 5:52
  count.
• 5:53
  That's
• 5:54
  not
• 5:54
  how
• 5:54
  God
• 5:55
  works.
• 5:57
  Progressive
• 5:58
  faith
• 5:58
  invites
• 5:58
  us
• 5:59
  to
• 5:59
  ask,
• 6:00
  am
• 6:00
  I
• 6:00
  with
• 6:01
  the
• 6:01
  crowd
• 6:01
  standing
• 6:02
  in
• 6:02
  awe
• 6:03
  when
• 6:04
  people
• 6:04
  experience
• 6:04
  freedom,
• 6:05
  or
• 6:05
  am
• 6:05
  I
• 6:05
  sputtering
• 6:06
  and
• 6:06
  stammering
• 6:07
  on
• 6:07
  the
• 6:07
  sidelines
• 6:08
  because
• 6:08
  the
• 6:09
  liberation
• 6:09
  doesn't
• 6:09
  look
• 6:10
  the
• 6:10
  way
• 6:10
  I
• 6:10
  think
• 6:10
  it
• 6:11
  should
• 6:11
  work
• 6:12
  the
• 6:12
  way
• 6:12
  I
• 6:12
  expected
• 6:12
  it
• 6:13
  to.
• 6:15
  My
• 6:15
  wife
• 6:15
  and
• 6:15
  I
• 6:16
  like
• 6:16
  to
• 6:16
  hike
• 6:17
  and,
• 6:17
  and
• 6:18
  go
• 6:18
  be
• 6:18
  in
• 6:18
  the
• 6:19
  outdoors
• 6:19
  quite
• 6:19
  a
• 6:19
  bit.
• 6:20
  Especially
• 6:21
  we
• 6:21
  like
• 6:21
  to
• 6:21
  go
• 6:21
  to
• 6:22
  wooded
• 6:22
  parks,
• 6:23
  state
• 6:24
  parks,
• 6:24
  national
• 6:25
  parks.
• 6:25
  We
• 6:25
  have
• 6:25
  parks
• 6:26
  in
• 6:26
  our
• 6:27
  community
• 6:27
  near
• 6:27
  us.
• 6:28
  And
• 6:28
  one
• 6:29
  of
• 6:29
  the
• 6:29
  cool
• 6:29
  things
• 6:29
  that
• 6:29
  happens
• 6:30
  sometimes
• 6:30
  is
• 6:30
  you
• 6:30
  go
• 6:31
  to
• 6:31
  a
• 6:31
  park,
• 6:31
  especially
• 6:31
  if
• 6:32
  you're
• 6:32
  not
• 6:32
  familiar
• 6:32
  with
• 6:32
  it,
• 6:33
  but
• 6:33
  you
• 6:33
  might
• 6:33
  come
• 6:33
  around
• 6:34
  a
• 6:34
  bend
• 6:34
  or
• 6:34
  come
• 6:34
  into
• 6:35
  an
• 6:35
  overlook
• 6:35
  or
• 6:36
  a
• 6:36
  scenic
• 6:37
  place
• 6:37
  you
• 6:37
  just
• 6:37
  haven't
• 6:37
  seen
• 6:38
  before.
• 6:38
  And
• 6:38
  yet
• 6:39
  you
• 6:39
  suddenly,
• 6:39
  your
• 6:40
  breath
• 6:40
  is
• 6:40
  kind
• 6:40
  of
• 6:40
  taken
• 6:40
  away
• 6:41
  by
• 6:41
  unexpected
• 6:41
  beauty
• 6:43
  and
• 6:43
  you
• 6:43
  just
• 6:43
  kind
• 6:43
  of
• 6:43
  stand
• 6:43
  there,
• 6:44
  just
• 6:44
  kind
• 6:44
  of
• 6:44
  mouth
• 6:45
  agape
• 6:45
  and
• 6:45
  just
• 6:45
  kind
• 6:45
  of
• 6:45
  look
• 6:46
  at
• 6:46
  it.
• 6:47
  That's
• 6:47
  like
• 6:48
  the
• 6:48
  crowd
• 6:48
  in
• 6:48
  this
• 6:48
  story,
• 6:50
  they
• 6:50
  weren't
• 6:50
  analyzing
• 6:51
  it.
• 6:51
  They
• 6:51
  were
• 6:52
  experiencing
• 6:52
  it.
• 6:53
  They
• 6:53
  were
• 6:53
  present
• 6:54
  to
• 6:54
  the
• 6:54
  wonder
• 6:54
  of
• 6:55
  it.
• 6:56
  And,
• 6:56
  you
• 6:56
  know,
• 6:56
  I
• 6:56
  want
• 6:57
  to
• 6:57
  be
• 6:57
  like
• 6:57
  a
• 6:57
  person
• 6:58
  who
• 6:58
  comes
• 6:58
  around
• 6:58
  the
• 6:59
  corner
• 6:59
  and
• 6:59
  rounds
• 7:00
  the
• 7:00
  vent
• 7:00
  and
• 7:00
  gasp
• 7:02
  in
• 7:02
  wonder
• 7:03
  and
• 7:03
  amazement
• 7:03
  rather
• 7:03
  than
• 7:04
  the
• 7:04
  one
• 7:04
  who
• 7:04
  stands
• 7:04
  there
• 7:04
  trying
• 7:05
  to
• 7:05
  explain
• 7:06
  why
• 7:06
  this
• 7:07
  view
• 7:07
  just
• 7:07
  can't
• 7:07
  be
• 7:07
  that
• 7:08
  good.
• 7:10
  Hmm.
• 7:11
  Something
• 7:12
  to
• 7:12
  think
• 7:12
  about,
• 7:12
  to
• 7:12
  ponder.
• 7:14
  Here's
• 7:15
  your
• 7:15
  action
• 7:15
  step
• 7:15
  for
• 7:15
  the
• 7:16
  day.
• 7:17
  Finish
• 7:17
  this
• 7:18
  sentence,
• 7:18
  maybe
• 7:19
  even
• 7:19
  write
• 7:19
  it
• 7:19
  down.
• 7:20
  Here's
• 7:21
  the
• 7:21
  sentence.
• 7:21
  I
• 7:21
  am
• 7:21
  becoming.
• 7:24
  What
• 7:26
  I
• 7:26
  am
• 7:26
  becoming.
• 7:27
  What
• 7:27
  are
• 7:28
  you
• 7:28
  becoming?
• 7:28
  And
• 7:28
  then
• 7:28
  fill
• 7:29
  in
• 7:29
  the
• 7:29
  blank.
• 7:31
  What
• 7:31
  are
• 7:31
  you
• 7:31
  becoming
• 7:31
  based
• 7:32
  on
• 7:32
  what
• 7:32
  you
• 7:32
  actually
• 7:33
  believe
• 7:33
  right
• 7:33
  now,
• 7:34
  today,
• 7:35
  about
• 7:35
  yourself,
• 7:36
  about
• 7:36
  your
• 7:36
  God,
• 7:37
  and
• 7:37
  about
• 7:37
  God
• 7:37
  in
• 7:38
  you.
• 7:39
  And
• 7:39
  what
• 7:39
  are
• 7:39
  you
• 7:39
  in
• 7:39
  the
• 7:39
  process
• 7:40
  of
• 7:40
  becoming?
• 7:42
  If
• 7:42
  the
• 7:43
  answer
• 7:43
  doesn't
• 7:43
  feel
• 7:43
  like
• 7:43
  freedom,
• 7:45
  that's
• 7:45
  okay.
• 7:45
  You're
• 7:46
  just
• 7:46
  gathering
• 7:46
  some
• 7:46
  information.
• 7:47
  It's
• 7:48
  an
• 7:48
  invitation
• 7:48
  to
• 7:49
  ask
• 7:49
  what
• 7:49
  you
• 7:49
  believe,
• 7:50
  if
• 7:50
  what
• 7:51
  you
• 7:51
  believe
• 7:51
  maybe
• 7:51
  needs
• 7:52
  to
• 7:52
  shift
• 7:52
  a
• 7:52
  little
• 7:52
  bit
• 7:54
  or
• 7:54
  maybe
• 7:54
  you
• 7:54
  need
• 7:54
  to
• 7:55
  kind
• 7:56
  of
• 7:56
  work
• 7:56
  to
• 7:56
  go
• 7:56
  down
• 7:57
  that
• 7:57
  pathway
• 7:57
  to
• 7:58
  find
• 7:58
  that
• 7:59
  beautiful
• 7:59
  scene.
• 8:00
  Maybe
• 8:00
  you
• 8:00
  got
• 8:01
  some
• 8:01
  wilderness
• 8:01
  time
• 8:01
  to
• 8:02
  go.
• 8:03
  Maybe
• 8:04
  some
• 8:04
  things
• 8:04
  in
• 8:04
  your
• 8:04
  life
• 8:04
  you
• 8:04
  need
• 8:05
  to
• 8:05
  shift
• 8:06
  until
• 8:07
  you're
• 8:07
  becoming
• 8:08
  in
• 8:09
  what
• 8:09
  you
• 8:09
  believe
• 8:10
  becomes
• 8:10
  more
• 8:11
  a
• 8:11
  little
• 8:11
  more
• 8:11
  like
• 8:11
  the
• 8:12
  person
• 8:12
  that
• 8:13
  God
• 8:13
  made
• 8:13
  you
• 8:13
  to
• 8:13
  be
• 8:15
  become.
• 8:18
  What
• 8:18
  are
• 8:19
  you
• 8:19
  becoming?
• 8:22
  We're

  God,

  some

  the

  same

  kind
• 8:46
  of

  reckless

  mercy
• 8:47
  those

  two

  blind

  men
• 8:48
  cried
• 8:48
  out

  in

  So

  open

  our

  eyes
• 8:50
  to
• 8:51
  healing
• 8:51
  and

  liberation
• 8:52
  happening

  us,

  especially
• 8:54
  in
• 8:54
  the

  places
• 8:54
  and
• 8:55
  people
• 8:55
  we've

  been
• 8:55
  taught

  to
• 8:56
  dismiss.
• 8:57
  Forgive
• 8:58
  us
• 8:58
  from
• 8:58
  the
• 8:58
  times
• 8:58
  when
• 8:59
  we've
• 8:59
  been
• 8:59
  the
• 8:59
  ones
• 8:59
  sputtering
• 9:00
  smoke
• 9:00
  and
• 9:00
  mirrors
• 9:01
  when
• 9:02
  you
• 9:02
  were
• 9:02
  doing
• 9:02
  something
• 9:03
  new
• 9:03
  and
• 9:03
  amazing.
• 9:05
  Give
• 9:05
  us
• 9:05
  the
• 9:05
  courage
• 9:06
  to
• 9:06
  become
• 9:06
  what
• 9:06
  we
• 9:06
  believe
• 9:07
  and
• 9:08
  the
• 9:08
  honesty
• 9:08
  to
• 9:08
  examine
• 9:09
  whether
• 9:09
  what
• 9:09
  we
• 9:09
  believe
• 9:10
  is
• 9:10
  making
• 9:10
  us
• 9:10
  more
• 9:10
  loving
• 9:12
  or
• 9:12
  more
• 9:12
  afraid.
• 9:14
  We
• 9:15
  want
• 9:15
  to
• 9:15
  be
• 9:15
  the
• 9:15
  people
• 9:15
  who
• 9:16
  stand
• 9:16
  in
• 9:16
  awe,
• 9:16
  who
• 9:17
  gasp
• 9:17
  at
• 9:18
  unexpected
• 9:18
  beauty,
• 9:19
  who
• 9:19
  celebrate
• 9:20
  when
• 9:20
  someone
• 9:20
  silenced
• 9:21
  finally
• 9:22
  finds
• 9:22
  their
• 9:22
  voice.
• 9:23
  Shape
• 9:24
  us
• 9:24
  God,
• 9:25
  we're
• 9:26
  willing.
• 9:27
  Help
• 9:28
  us
• 9:28
  when
• 9:28
  we're
• 9:29
  not
• 9:29
  willing.
• 9:30
  Shape
• 9:30
  us
• 9:31
  God,
• 9:31
  to
• 9:31
  believe.
• 9:33
  Amen.
