- 0:24Speaker 1: Christ's name I pray, amen. And I don't single out
- 0:31Speaker 1: Anybody in that prayer. Because I'm also a listener in this.

- 1:18Speaker 1: that you do matter. You wouldn't be here if you didn't.

- 1:57Speaker 1: way Broadcast on the way. Music video by the end
- 2:01Speaker 1: of the year. There's a lot of things going in
- 2:05Speaker 1: the right direction for the Ember Show. So, let's jump
- 2:13Speaker 1: into it. Mark chapter 12 and it states, Jesus tells
- 2:17Speaker 1: a story about wicked farmers. Then Jesus began to speak
- 2:22Speaker 1: again to the important Jews. He told them stories he said.
- 2:27Speaker 1: There was a man who planted vines to grow grapes.
- 2:32Speaker 1: He built a wall around the vineyard. He dug a
- 2:35Speaker 1: hole in the ground for a wine press to make wine.
- 2:40Speaker 1: He also built a tower to watch over the garden.
- 2:44Speaker 1: He found some farmers who would work in the vineyard
- 2:48Speaker 1: for him. Then he went away to another country. Verse 2,
- 2:54Speaker 1: at the At the time for the harvest, the man
- 2:58Speaker 1: sent a servant to speak to the farmers. He wanted
- 3:01Speaker 1: them to give him his fruits from the vineyard. But
- 3:07Speaker 1: the farmers took hold of the servant and they hit
- 3:10Speaker 1: him with sticks. They sent him away with nothing. So
- 3:14Speaker 1: the man sent another servant to farmers. They also hit
- 3:22Speaker 1: the servant on the head. They did. other things to him.
- 3:29Speaker 1: The man then sent another servant, but the farmers killed
- 3:34Speaker 1: the servant. He sent many other servants to them. The
- 3:39Speaker 1: farmers hit some of these servants with the sticks and
- 3:43Speaker 1: they killed other servants. So it didn't matter how many servants,
- 3:46Speaker 1: they kept sending them and sending them. I almost sounded
- 3:50Speaker 1: like I said sending them. And It did not matter.
- 3:58Speaker 1: And the truth of the matter is, how many times
- 4:03Speaker 1: do we do that in our lives? We go back
- 4:06Speaker 1: to the same bad habit. And then we have shame
- 4:11Speaker 1: and guilt the next day. Getting hit with the stick, right?
- 4:16Speaker 1: Knowing that it's bad for us. We're all guilty of it. backsliding.
- 4:23Speaker 1: We can call it sin. We can call it evil.
- 4:26Speaker 1: We can call it doing good. Ying and yang. But
- 4:33Speaker 1: before I get into verse 6, I want everyone to
- 4:37Speaker 1: know from a believer to a follower, I'm not trying
- 4:45Speaker 1: to convince you to be a follower because it's not
- 4:49Speaker 1: that We are chosen, but we choose. We choose to
- 4:54Speaker 1: serve the Lord because we know that our reward is
- 4:57Speaker 1: not here. It's in heaven. And if we can bring
- 5:01Speaker 1: some of those rewards down here to earth, they're not
- 5:09Speaker 1: only just good works, but having the relationship with Him,
- 5:16Speaker 1: being in praise. Those two things are the most important, really,
- 5:22Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong. Bible study is a great basic
- 5:26Speaker 1: instruction before leaving earth kind of book. The only kind
- 5:34Speaker 1: of its kind. Best selling book, but that doesn't mean
- 5:38Speaker 1: that it's the best read. Let that sink in. The
- 5:44Speaker 1: man had only one person that he could still send.
- 5:50Speaker 1: This was his own Son, the man loved him very much.
- 5:55Speaker 1: So last of all, he sent his son to the farmers.
- 5:59Speaker 1: He taught. He thought, the farmers would surely respect my son.
- 6:05Speaker 1: But those farmers said to each other, this is the
- 6:08Speaker 1: master's own son. The farmer will begin to belong to
- 6:13Speaker 1: him when his father dies. He should kill the son
- 6:16Speaker 1: and then the farm will belong to us. So the farmers...
- 6:20Speaker 1: took the son and they killed him. They threw his
- 6:24Speaker 1: dead body out of the vineyard. Jesus asked, then asked,
- 6:28Speaker 1: what will the masters of the garden do then? I
- 6:31Speaker 1: tell you, he will come and he will kill those farmers.
- 6:35Speaker 1: Then he will give the vineyard to other people to
- 6:39Speaker 1: take care of it. I am sure that you have
- 6:43Speaker 1: read these words in the Bible. The builders refused to
- 6:46Speaker 1: use a certain stone. They thought that it had no value.
- 6:51Speaker 1: But now that that stone has become the most important
- 6:54Speaker 1: stone at the corner of the building, the Lord God
- 6:58Speaker 1: did this. And we see that he did something great.
- 7:05Speaker 1: Something that's just so minor to majority of us, right?
- 7:13Speaker 1: Jesus can glorify and the more that I get closer
- 7:22Speaker 1: to my spirituality, which I still get distracted. I'm not
- 7:28Speaker 1: sitting here on this episode after going through Mark chapter 12,
- 7:34Speaker 1: 1 through 11, that I am trying to convince you
- 7:40Speaker 1: to either believe in God or believe in me. This
- 7:50Speaker 1: is from the messenger himself. The Holy Spirit is not
- 7:58Speaker 1: only a spirit that cannot really make itself a home
- 8:08Speaker 1: in a body that doesn't go in motion. To be
- 8:12Speaker 1: able to unlock the spiritual gifts and There's so many
- 8:19Speaker 1: non-believers that believers need to understand that we are always
- 8:27Speaker 1: under attack. In the physical, in the spiritual, in the mental,
- 8:35Speaker 1: in the emotional. And we have to be ready for
- 8:39Speaker 1: any attack. Staying focused on Jesus mentally is a great start.
- 8:48Speaker 1: Then speaking it... Or singing worship songs... Praying to them
- 8:52Speaker 1: out loud... Or in your head... I'm going to break
- 8:54Speaker 1: it down for you... What you really need to do... And...
- 9:01Speaker 1: I'm not going to sit here... And be like the
- 9:03Speaker 1: type that says... That the Bible is really going to
- 9:05Speaker 1: save you... The Bible is a great instructor... It has
- 9:10Speaker 1: great instructions... But... It can be really repetitive... And it
- 9:19Speaker 1: can be really, really hard to believe. But what is
- 9:28Speaker 1: so unique about God's love is that he doesn't expect
- 9:37Speaker 1: you to understand it. He just expects you to believe
- 9:46Speaker 1: in it. believe in the people and the prophets that
- 9:50Speaker 1: came before us and that's the beauty of the gospel
- 9:57Speaker 1: is having certain eyewitnesses say that this man did these
- 10:04Speaker 1: things and said that he was God and I can
- 10:08Speaker 1: see how a lot of people can be turned away
- 10:14Speaker 1: from that right because like oh yeah well he was
- 10:17Speaker 1: just another human But that's not the case. And I
- 10:22Speaker 1: can go on and on about this, but I'm going
- 10:25Speaker 1: to leave it at this. I've experienced both sides of
- 10:30Speaker 1: the coin. And I know exactly which side I'm on
- 10:37Speaker 1: and where I'm going to stay. It doesn't mean I'm perfect.
- 10:40Speaker 1: It doesn't mean that I'm better than you, the believer,
- 10:42Speaker 1: or the non-believer. I'll never boast in my ego. No,
- 10:48Speaker 1: I'm not edging God out. God's all in this. God
- 10:54Speaker 1: is all in this. So I want to just leave
- 10:57Speaker 1: it at this right as we go to verse 12.
- 11:00Speaker 1: Keep an open mind. Mark chapter 12 verse 12. The
- 11:04Speaker 1: Jewish leaders knew that Jesus had told this story about them.
- 11:10Speaker 1: They were the wicked farmers in the story. So they
- 11:15Speaker 1: wanted to take hold of Jesus but they were afraid
- 11:18Speaker 1: of the crowd so they let him and they went
- 11:23Speaker 1: they left him and they went away the pharisees asked
- 11:27Speaker 1: jesus about taxes then the leaders sent some pharisees to
- 11:32Speaker 1: jesus they also sent some men who were friends of
- 11:37Speaker 1: king he brought sorry i'm trying to walk i can't
- 11:44Speaker 1: see we have to stop for a second hold on
- 11:47Speaker 1: they wanted jesus to say something wrong then they could
- 11:51Speaker 1: cause trouble for him. These men came to Jesus and
- 11:54Speaker 1: they said, Teacher, we know that you only say true things.
- 11:58Speaker 1: It does not matter to you what other people think.
- 12:01Speaker 1: If someone is important, you do not change your answers
- 12:05Speaker 1: to make them happy. You really do teach us what
- 12:10Speaker 1: God wants us to do. Tell us... See, I'm going
- 12:14Speaker 1: to stop it right there. You know, when we're talking
- 12:17Speaker 1: about We always change our feelings, our answers, and Jesus didn't.
- 12:31Speaker 1: And what we're talking about, it doesn't matter what other
- 12:36Speaker 1: people think. It says it right here in a sentence.
- 12:39Speaker 1: It does not matter to you what other people think.
- 12:42Speaker 1: Let me repeat that for the person that is not
- 12:45Speaker 1: really paying attention. You're hearing me, but you're not listening.
- 12:49Speaker 1: It does not matter to you what other people think.
- 12:54Speaker 1: Referring to Jesus. He did not care what other people
- 12:57Speaker 1: thought of him. He did not care what people said
- 13:01Speaker 1: negative about him. Didn't take in to boast about the
- 13:05Speaker 1: positive things. He always gave glory to the Father. And
- 13:09Speaker 1: he always went off in his own time into the
- 13:12Speaker 1: woods or into the wilderness or just away in the
- 13:14Speaker 1: mountains to go pray. And he would bring other people
- 13:17Speaker 1: to pray too. He would go on a journey and
- 13:19Speaker 1: pick people out to go pray with him and worship
- 13:24Speaker 1: the Almighty God. Talking about the Almighty God, Jesus, and
- 13:28Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit. That's what we believe on this channel.
- 13:30Speaker 1: I'm going to leave it at that. We're at 13 minutes.
- 13:34Speaker 1: I got one minute to finish. And it's the power minute.
- 13:40Speaker 1: I just want to thank you, the listener, for pressing
