  This is Living Waters of Grace, the teaching ministry of Clark
• 0:08
  Wofford, senior pastor of Calvary Chapel of Westmoreland,
• 0:12
  County of Greensburg, PA. Now here's Pastor Clark as he
• 0:16
  continues teaching through God's Word.
• 0:37
  If we sow according to the flesh, we're going to reap
• 0:39
  according to the flesh. It's just not if, it's just When
• 0:44
  it's a principle. We challenge God and we disobey
• 0:49
  God. God will intervene because He
• 0:52
  loves us, just like you. As parents, your kids do things
• 0:56
  you don't want them to do. You just don't turn a blind eye
• 0:58
  and ignore them, do you? You reach into their little
• 1:02
  hearts and you tell them why they need to do this versus
• 1:06
  that. Is a loving parrot the one who
• 1:09
  allows their children to do whatever they want, or the one
• 1:12
  who creates boundaries and teaches their children how to
• 1:14
  behave properly? Those children who learn how to
• 1:17
  behave while they're young are more likely to have good
• 1:20
  behavior when they're grown. In today's message from the book
• 1:24
  of Acts, Pastor Clark reminds you that God is a good father,
• 1:29
  and he will also guide and correct his children so that
• 1:32
  they know how to live in a way that brings glory to his name.
• 1:36
  Now here's Pastor Clark in Acts Chapter 5 with today's edition
• 1:40
  of Living Waters of Grace. Don't try to make something
• 1:44
  happen that God isn't in. And we all have a tendency at
• 1:48
  times to do certain things. And lots of times we we begin to
• 1:51
  do ministries in our lives. And it doesn't mean just because
• 1:54
  we don't see anything happening right away that God isn't in it.
• 1:57
  Sometimes God's testing our perseverance, our dependence on
• 2:01
  him. Our patients are waiting upon
• 2:03
  the Lord. The Bible says those who wait
• 2:06
  upon the Lord, right? Waiting on the Lord is a hard
• 2:09
  thing to do. They shall renew their strength,
• 2:13
  they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and
• 2:16
  not be weary. They shall walk and not faint.
• 2:19
  And you may be waiting on the Lord for something in your life
• 2:22
  to come to pass. Don't get discouraged and don't
• 2:25
  get downtrodden. Whenever God gives you a vision
• 2:27
  and a purpose and a plan, keep on keeping on, and in time
• 2:31
  you'll see the fruit come forth as He blesses what it is.
• 2:35
  And He's called you to put your hand too.
• 2:37
  Don't ever give up. And so he says with great power,
• 2:42
  the apostles, they give this witness nor in verse 34, nor was
• 2:46
  there anyone among them who lacked for all who were
• 2:48
  possessors of lands or houses, sold them and brought the
• 2:52
  proceeds of the things that were sold and laid them at the
• 2:54
  apostles feet and they distributed to each as anyone
• 2:58
  had need. Now we have a Benevolent Fund
• 3:00
  that part of the budget is funded by what you guys give to
• 3:04
  be put in crisis fund mode that when people in the body in the
• 3:08
  community here are in dire straits, we have resources to
• 3:12
  help and be part of a solution to get them through a tough
• 3:15
  spot. But the the the early church,
• 3:18
  there was crisis everywhere because a lot of the people, as
• 3:22
  I said, were in Jerusalem and they weren't working.
• 3:24
  So they they needed this stuff in order to be able to survive.
• 3:28
  And then it says in verse 36 and Josies, who was also named
• 3:32
  Barnabas by the apostles, which is translated Son of
• 3:36
  encouragement, a Levite of the country of Cyprus having land
• 3:41
  sold it and brought the money and laid it at the apostles
• 3:44
  feet. Now this is the first time we
• 3:46
  read about this man Barnabas. Barnas ended up being an
• 3:49
  understudy and an associate with with the Apostle Paul and the
• 3:53
  missionary journeys. He has given this name.
• 3:56
  His name is Son of Encouragement and how important it is for all
• 4:00
  of us to have a Barnabas in our life.
• 4:02
  Someone who can come alongside of us and encourage us and
• 4:06
  remind us that God is with us and that no matter what we might
• 4:09
  be going through that this person is in your life to
• 4:13
  encourage you. But we want to be Barnabas to
• 4:16
  you guys. Pastor Lewis and myself and the
• 4:18
  elders. We want to be encouragers to you
• 4:20
  guys and to serve you and, and to thank you for your labor of
• 4:25
  love and the Lord and your sacrifice and your commitment to
• 4:28
  his work and his Kingdom. We're we're so blessed by the
• 4:32
  body of Christ and to watch what the Lord's doing in and through
• 4:35
  your lives. And so this was the beginning.
• 4:38
  Now, nothing's being said here that this has to be done this
• 4:42
  way, right? It was just done in the
• 4:45
  beginning for a short period of time when you study the Pastoral
• 4:51
  Epistles by Paul and he talks about taking up the collections
• 4:55
  for the church that's impoverished in Jerusalem.
• 5:00
  Obviously the church then began to be in multiple places after
• 5:03
  the persecution, small assemblies here and there and
• 5:07
  all of our Ephesus in different communities, Colossa, Philippi,
• 5:11
  all those places that Paul wrote letters to and he would send out
• 5:14
  a letter to letting them know that, hey, there's some brothers
• 5:17
  and sisters in need in such and such a place.
• 5:20
  And we're going to give a collection such and such will be
• 5:23
  around to pick it up. And we'll deliver this to the to
• 5:26
  the Saints in this particular area that has the difficulty.
• 5:30
  And that's how it has gone on since that time.
• 5:33
  Calvary Chapel magazine often has different outreaches and
• 5:37
  ministries that we participate in.
• 5:38
  We're alerted by certain things that are happening in the world,
• 5:41
  whether it's a hurricane, tornado, earthquake, whatever.
• 5:45
  And if every church gives something to that particular
• 5:48
  need, then quite a bit of work can be a accomplished.
• 5:50
  And that's the benefit of having a lot of people on the same page
• 5:53
  about crisis in the world. But anyway, this guy's an
• 5:57
  encourager and he took his asset and he invested it in what was
• 6:01
  happening in early stages of the church.
• 6:04
  Now we continue on this and what happens is I don't think there
• 6:07
  was any accolades and, and Barnabas certainly wasn't
• 6:10
  bragging about what he did. He probably didn't want anybody
• 6:13
  to know about it. But it's written here that
• 6:15
  everybody does know what he did. And so there's other people in
• 6:18
  the assembly there to think, well, boy, if I can make some
• 6:21
  kind of movement that I'm doing something extraordinary, then
• 6:25
  maybe I'll have a following or maybe I'll get glory, or maybe
• 6:29
  I'll get whatever. You know, it's, it's, it's very
• 6:32
  delicate in regard to what we do when we invest in the Kingdom of
• 6:37
  God. There's a church group that I
• 6:39
  guess puts it in the bulletin, the names of the families and
• 6:42
  who who gives, you know, you guys probably know what I'm
• 6:44
  talking about. That's not the way it's to be
• 6:46
  done. Bible says the left hand should
• 6:49
  know what the right hand gives. You know, so you know we give
• 6:52
  unto the Lord privately in the boxes or online or however we we
• 6:56
  do it. And we do it for the glory of
• 6:58
  God, not for any kind of recognition.
• 7:00
  None of us want recognition, but yet God does bless us when we
• 7:06
  sow into His work. This is something that is very
• 7:10
  important. All of us should be tuned into
• 7:13
  investing in things that last for eternity.
• 7:16
  So what happens here? There's this guy Ananias and his
• 7:19
  wife Sapphira. I don't know what possessed them
• 7:23
  to behave this way or to act this way, but this is a really
• 7:26
  strange, strange story here. They're obviously Christians.
• 7:30
  They're the Holy Spirit's in them.
• 7:31
  They're part of this new move of God.
• 7:34
  It was hard to be a hypocrite in the early stages of the church.
• 7:37
  It was so pure that you would stick out like a sore thumb if
• 7:41
  you were a phony, right? And this is what begins to
• 7:43
  happen here in this particular teaching.
• 7:46
  A certain man named Ananias with Sapphira his wife sold a
• 7:50
  possession and he kept back part of the proceeds.
• 7:54
  His wife also being aware of it and brought a certain part, laid
• 7:58
  it at the apostles feet. So they made a determination to
• 8:03
  give whatever it was that they were compelled to give, but
• 8:08
  somehow they were portraying the fact that they were giving
• 8:11
  everything and they weren't. Now, no one first of all told
• 8:14
  him they needed to do this. This is what they were compelled
• 8:18
  to do. But for some reason they were
• 8:20
  using deception that they didn't need to even use.
• 8:25
  And it became very evident to Peter, this is called the word
• 8:29
  of knowledge or the Word of wisdom.
• 8:31
  Peter's given insight into something is happening in
• 8:34
  someone's conscience or life that this isn't right and he
• 8:37
  calls them out on it, right? And so Peter says, Ananias, why
• 8:42
  has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep
• 8:47
  back part of the price of the land for yourself?
• 8:51
  Now, it wasn't wrong for him to keep back the price, but the the
• 8:54
  problem was he was saying he was giving it all and he wasn't.
• 8:58
  That's the problem. And so the gift became corrupt.
• 9:01
  It wasn't used for God's glory. There was a manipulation here
• 9:05
  and Ananias and Sapphira's life probably wanting some kind of
• 9:09
  recognition of looking more spiritual than they really were
• 9:12
  or whatever. And so Peter says, why has Satan
• 9:15
  filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part
• 9:19
  of the price of the land for yourself?
• 9:20
  Question mark while remain was it not your own?
• 9:24
  In other words, this was your asset and you were free to do
• 9:29
  with it whatever you wanted to do with it.
• 9:32
  This wasn't a commandment to these people that they needed to
• 9:35
  lay everything at the apostles feet.
• 9:38
  And so after it was sold, was it not in your own control?
• 9:43
  In other words, you still had control over what it was you
• 9:46
  were doing. Why have you conceived this
• 9:48
  thing in your heart? You have not lied to men, but to
• 9:50
  God. Now when God makes a particular
• 9:54
  point of something in the Bible and, and, and shows us something
• 9:57
  like this, it it was meant in that early stage of the church
• 10:01
  to be a warning to the body, to not be deceptive, to not lie, to
• 10:06
  not be a con artist, to not live in wolf of hypocrisy.
• 10:11
  We need to be who we are and let the chips fall where they may.
• 10:15
  We don't need to be trying to make ourselves something we're
• 10:18
  not. We just need to be normal,
• 10:21
  average, down to earth people, humble, loving God and serving
• 10:26
  God and doing what it is that God's called us to do in
• 10:30
  obedience to Him, right? Not in obedience to anybody
• 10:34
  else, but to obedience to the Lord.
• 10:38
  That's who we're going to give an account to one day.
• 10:40
  But somehow Ananias and Sapphira were trying to, I don't know,
• 10:44
  get some kind of influence in this, in this assembly.
• 10:47
  Then Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and breathed
• 10:51
  his last. In other words, he died great in
• 10:53
  the presence of the church and the people.
• 10:56
  So great fear came upon all those who heard these things,
• 11:01
  and the young men arose and wrapped him up and carried him
• 11:06
  out and they buried him. Shocking that this occurred.
• 11:12
  Now one commentator said, you know, in today's modern church,
• 11:18
  we're singing this worship song, take my life and let it be holy,
• 11:23
  only used by the take my silver and my gold.
• 11:27
  You know, in other words, the allegiance of my life is to you.
• 11:31
  And so we can sing that song and meanwhile deny everything it
• 11:35
  says, though this is my life and what I have is mine, right?
• 11:38
  It's a wonder we aren't all wiped out on a Sunday.
• 11:41
  Don't sing that song unless the Lord ready for us to sing it.
• 11:45
  But you know, and what was the other song, Lord be Thou my
• 11:51
  vision? That's that's another powerful
• 11:54
  song. And and you read the lyrics, so
• 11:56
  you hear the lyrics on that. You have to say to yourself, am
• 12:00
  I really live in this right now? Is this what I really believe?
• 12:05
  And there's been some songs that are played that I don't sing
• 12:08
  them because I'm just not quite there 100% the way I need to be.
• 12:11
  It's not the song. Isn't nothing wrong with the
• 12:13
  song, but I'm convicted by what the song saying and I want that
• 12:18
  lyric to be real in my life. I don't want to fake it right
• 12:22
  And the Lords concern was when he said about people, he said
• 12:26
  these people worship me with their lips, but their heart is
• 12:29
  far from me. May that not be the case here at
• 12:31
  Calvary Chapel, that when we worship God, we worship Him in
• 12:35
  spirit and in truth, that we are loving him.
• 12:38
  We are repenting of things in our lives that need to change.
• 12:42
  And, and so we're open to the work and the conviction of the
• 12:44
  Holy Spirit as opposed to acting like we got it all together and
• 12:48
  we're just lip synching things and really not believe in them.
• 12:51
  Right. So then Anais, you know, after
• 12:53
  he falls down, he's buried. He didn't have time to give his
• 12:57
  wife a heads up. He didn't have a phone to text.
• 12:59
  Hey, they're on to us. Honey, whatever you do, don't
• 13:02
  you know it's too late? There's no way of communicating
• 13:05
  this. She's going in naively.
• 13:07
  About 3 hours later, when his wife came in, not knowing what
• 13:10
  had happened, Peter answered her, Tell me whether you sold
• 13:13
  the land for so much. And she said yes for so much.
• 13:17
  Then Peter said to her, How is it that you have agreed together
• 13:21
  to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of those who have
• 13:25
  buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you
• 13:29
  out. Then immediately she fell down
• 13:32
  at his feet, and breathed her last.
• 13:33
  And the young men came in and found her dead, and carrying her
• 13:37
  out, buried her by her husband. So great fear came upon all the
• 13:43
  church, and upon all those who heard these things.
• 13:48
  The chastening hand of the Lord in our lives is sobering.
• 13:53
  We've all been chastened by the Lord.
• 13:55
  If we're his, we're disciplined by God, not because he's mad at
• 13:59
  us or, you know, particularly angry.
• 14:01
  He's, he's sad and he knows that if we don't make amends to the
• 14:05
  way we're living, we're going to cause a bad testimony to occur
• 14:09
  in our lives. And we're also going to cause
• 14:11
  problems in the home and the family work everywhere we go.
• 14:15
  We're going to be a train wreck waiting to occur.
• 14:18
  So the chastening hand of the Lord is to sober us and to cause
• 14:23
  us to reflect on where we are in knowing where we need to be.
• 14:29
  When the Lord chastens us, the Bible tells us He does it
• 14:33
  because he loves us, and it doesn't seem to be pleasant when
• 14:39
  we're being chastened. The discipline of God, however,
• 14:43
  he doesn't. In your life, it could be a
• 14:45
  health issue. It could be a financial issue,
• 14:47
  it could be a family issue. It could be a work issue.
• 14:50
  You just know that what's happening in your life at the
• 14:52
  present moment is not based on anything other than God catching
• 14:57
  up with you about something He's been talking to you about that
• 15:00
  you haven't been listening. Anybody understand?
• 15:03
  You ever been through that? You know, two people have.
• 15:06
  OK, yeah, we all have. So it says it's not pleasant for
• 15:12
  the present time, but if we're exercised by it, meaning we're
• 15:17
  responding to it, it'll yield the peaceable fruit of
• 15:19
  righteousness. We get beyond it.
• 15:21
  And God's, there's peace in our life again and there and there's
• 15:25
  unity and there there's blessings.
• 15:27
  And so. But in the early church when
• 15:29
  this happened, this put fear in the lives of the people.
• 15:33
  Some churches, they have testimony times and we probably
• 15:36
  should have a night once a month and we just have food and
• 15:38
  testimony. What's the Lord been up to in
• 15:40
  our life? Well, let me tell you where I've
• 15:43
  been and where God has me, you know, And all of a sudden people
• 15:45
  are like, wow, you know, and then all of a sudden people
• 15:48
  start fearing the mighty hand of God in intervening and dealing
• 15:52
  in lives because of inappropriate behavior, actions
• 15:56
  or activity. And whenever I hear a story
• 15:59
  about someone that did a particular thing and the
• 16:02
  consequence of it, if I'm involved in that kind of same
• 16:06
  thing, one or two things happen. I'm a fool and I don't listen.
• 16:10
  And I'm set myself up for the discipline, right?
• 16:13
  And the chastening or immediately I say, Lord, have
• 16:16
  mercy on me. Have mercy on me, O God.
• 16:19
  So the church is supposed to be continually being refined by the
• 16:23
  Spirit of God, washed in the power of God, in the cleansing
• 16:27
  blood of the Lord, so that we're being made holy as he's holy.
• 16:31
  The Lord desires his church to be holy, and he wants us as his
• 16:35
  people to be holy as He's holy. And so he does this stuff by the
• 16:39
  work of his Spirit. So when you read this section of
• 16:42
  Scripture, you might be shocked if you never read it or never
• 16:45
  heard about it, but it's in the Bible to the sober us to
• 16:48
  understand that God is not mocked, that whatever we sow, we
• 16:52
  we reap. If we sow according to the
• 16:55
  flesh, we're going to reap according to the flesh.
• 16:57
  It's just not if, it's just when it's a principle.
• 17:03
  We challenge God and we disobey God, God will intervene because
• 17:08
  he loves us just like you as parents, your kids do things you
• 17:12
  don't want them to do. You just don't turn a blind eye
• 17:14
  and ignore them, do you? You reach into their little
• 17:18
  hearts and you tell them why they need to do this versus
• 17:22
  that. And there needs to be more of
• 17:25
  that, I'm sure going on in every home in America in these days
• 17:28
  because of what kids are getting involved in, what they're being
• 17:31
  impacted by is the world, the Pagan world.
• 17:35
  And the more they're impacted by the Pagan world, the more
• 17:38
  they'll become like that world, participating in the same things
• 17:43
  that that world does. And so as a people of God, we
• 17:47
  need to pray for the kids the next door and the kids in the
• 17:50
  ministry and the youth that the word of God who influence them
• 17:53
  so that they want to have Christ supreme in their hearts and
• 17:57
  their lives. And that's the work of God and
• 18:00
  all of us. And so, and through the hands of
• 18:03
  the apostles in verse 12, many signs and wonders were done
• 18:06
  among the people, and they were all with 1 accord in Solomon's
• 18:10
  porch. Again, they had no physical
• 18:12
  facility to lease or to rent or to own at this time.
• 18:15
  They were borrowing this space, yet none of the rest dare join
• 18:19
  them. But the people esteemed them
• 18:21
  highly, and believers were increasingly added to the Lord,
• 18:24
  multitudes of both men and women, so that they brought the
• 18:28
  sick out into the streets and they laid them on beds and
• 18:31
  couches that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might fall
• 18:35
  on some of them. Also multitude gathered from the
• 18:38
  surrounding cities to Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those
• 18:42
  who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all
• 18:46
  healed. Now there was no power in the
• 18:48
  shadow of Peter. Peter made it very clear when
• 18:51
  that lame man was healed. And why Look on us as though and
• 18:55
  by our own power we've done this work.
• 18:57
  It's in the name of Jesus. Jesus Christ did this healing,
• 19:03
  and so the power of God was on the lives of the apostles of God
• 19:06
  at this time in such a great way that there was these magnificent
• 19:10
  times of healing and the people were desperate.
• 19:13
  They were bringing everyone they loved, every everyone they cared
• 19:16
  about to this environment where they could be brought and be
• 19:20
  made well. What's sad is that so many
• 19:23
  people that were healed and made well, this got well but didn't
• 19:26
  follow Jesus. As we read in the Scriptures,
• 19:29
  the 12 lepers, you know, there was one that returned, right?
• 19:33
  What happened to the other 11? And so people don't get saved by
• 19:38
  miracles. Miracles are a testimony of of
• 19:40
  the greatness of God. But it's the gospel of Jesus
• 19:44
  Christ that saves souls. The preaching of the cross.
• 19:48
  The gospel is the power of God and salvation to everyone that
• 19:52
  believes. Healing is wonderful if you've
• 19:55
  been healed. I've been healed at different
• 19:57
  times in my life, but I eventually I'm going to die,
• 19:59
  right? Lazarus was healed, but
• 20:02
  eventually he had to die. He had to leave this earth.
• 20:05
  And so healing is temporal, but the gospel is eternal.
• 20:09
  Continue to read ahead. As you read ahead, you're,
• 20:11
  you're prepared to to think a little bit more about these
• 20:15
  things before I teach. But in these days where there's
• 20:19
  so much going on in the world, it's not by coincidence that
• 20:23
  we're in the book of the Acts and we're learning, all of us,
• 20:26
  that we need the empowerment of the Holy Spirit in a greater
• 20:29
  degree, all of us. So I want to pray specifically
• 20:33
  for God the Holy Spirit to encounter each of us in a very
• 20:38
  powerful way to help us to see what it is that God wants us to
• 20:42
  see and that we would become more and more like God has
• 20:46
  created us to be. Father God, we thank you.
• 20:52
  God the Holy Spirit, You're the most neglected part of the
• 20:58
  Trinity. So often we talk about the
• 21:01
  Father God, we talk about the Son, the Lord Jesus, and so
• 21:05
  often we are remiss in understanding that you also are
• 21:09
  called in Scripture God the Holy Spirit.
• 21:13
  So forgive us, Lord, for at times of quenching this precious
• 21:18
  person, the Spirit of God, of grieving him and hurting him by
• 21:25
  our own willfulness, of wanting our way instead of your way.
• 21:29
  Lord, He's gentle, the Holy Spirit, You tell us The fruit of
• 21:35
  the Spirit is love, that agape love and joy and peace and
• 21:40
  long-suffering and gentleness and goodness and meekness and
• 21:43
  self-control. This is what we want in our
• 21:47
  lives, Lord, and we know that the fullness of the Spirit comes
• 21:53
  by the filling of the Spirit and by surrender to the Spirit.
• 21:58
  And so, Lord, we pray for our church family, our church body,
• 22:01
  those online, those in the building today, that today would
• 22:05
  be a new day, a fresh day of encounter, of discovering this
• 22:10
  wonderful person, God the Holy Spirit, to have a relationship
• 22:14
  with the Holy Spirit, to cooperate with the Holy Spirit,
• 22:18
  and to be LED of the Spirit. You tell us that the children of
• 22:22
  God are led by the Spirit of Godfather.
• 22:27
  We pray that in the days ahead we would experience more and
• 22:30
  more of your leading in the church and the activities of
• 22:34
  your church, Lord, and the ministries as you raise people
• 22:37
  up to serve you in different capacities and different
• 22:40
  calling. That your hands would be upon
• 22:42
  those who have committed to certain aspects of what it is
• 22:46
  they believe you created them for the people that come that
• 22:49
  are still maybe thinking about what is it?
• 22:52
  That is my gift. What is it that God wants to
• 22:54
  use? Holy Spirit?
• 22:56
  You would speak to them about that and encourage them to step
• 22:59
  forward and what it is you might be calling them to.
• 23:03
  We thank you, Lord, that in this world today that things seem at
• 23:08
  times to be spinning out of control, but from your vantage
• 23:12
  point, they're completely under your control.
• 23:16
  And Lord, you teach us as we study the Bible that the way we
• 23:19
  find our way through in this life is by being men and women
• 23:24
  who are LED of the Holy Spirit and men and women who are filled
• 23:27
  by the Spirit. Lord, convict us where we need
• 23:32
  to be convicted. Challenge us and draw us closer
• 23:35
  to yourself so that we can be more like you.
• 23:38
  Jesus, we know it only happens by the work of the Spirit.
• 23:43
  So we praise you today for what you've given us and what we've
• 23:45
  received. And you can walk out of here
• 23:48
  today knowing that you are with us and that we are filled afresh
• 23:53
  to do whatever it is you've called us to do.
• 23:57
  Thanks for joining us on today's edition of Living Waters of
• 24:00
  Grace, a ministry of Calvary Chapel, Westmoreland.
• 24:04
  Today, Pastor Clark is teaching about the book of Acts.
• 24:07
  And as we learn more about Acts, it becomes clear that the early
• 24:10
  church didn't miss a single opportunity to share the gospel.
• 24:15
  In nearly every chapter, you see apostles like Peter and Paul
• 24:18
  stepping into conversations, crowds, and crises with
• 24:22
  boldness, ready to proclaim the name of Jesus.
• 24:26
  Their example challenges us to consider how we might step into
• 24:30
  gospel moments in our own lives. What doors might God open this
• 24:35
  week for you to speak truth, offer hope, or live out your
• 24:38
  faith in a way that points others to Him?
• 24:41
  The story of Acts reminds us we are part of the same mission.
• 24:44
  Today, let's live with eyes open and hearts ready to respond.
• 24:49
  We hope you are challenged by today's message.
