Speaker:

Hey everybody.

2

:

Welcome to a special edition, a baptism

Sunday edition of the Daily Bible Podcast.

3

:

Splash.

4

:

Splash.

5

:

We were taking a bath.

6

:

We are, even as we record this,

because it is pouring rain outside.

7

:

It is.

8

:

So we are hoping and trusting the Lord

that he's gonna hold our power in place

9

:

here at the church offices for us to

get all three of these episodes done.

10

:

So far, so good.

11

:

It was only flickering earlier.

12

:

But it never went out.

13

:

That's true.

14

:

Yeah.

15

:

So far so good.

16

:

Yeah.

17

:

Speaking of good, man, I I had dinner the

other night and in fact Amanda and I had

18

:

dinner with the Mayors the Mayor's Junior,

and we were at the silos in Salina.

19

:

That's kind of a fun place.

20

:

I had never been there before.

21

:

Oh, I hadn't either, but it's got like

this open yard and it was beautiful.

22

:

It was like.

23

:

In the upper seventies, low eighties.

24

:

Oh yeah.

25

:

Was in the evening.

26

:

And now's the time.

27

:

They have a like turf out there.

28

:

And the food was probably a little

overpriced, but the atmosphere was great.

29

:

It was a lot of fun.

30

:

Yeah.

31

:

I've seen pictures from that place

and I've, I passed by and I thought,

32

:

oh, that'd be nice to check out.

33

:

But I never find myself in the

position where I'm thinking

34

:

about it and I have opportunity.

35

:

Yeah.

36

:

But if you're gonna go outside in

Texas, this is minus right now when

37

:

we're recording and it's raining

besides now, it is a beautiful season.

38

:

Yeah.

39

:

We've had weeks now.

40

:

Of really cool crisp mornings

and mild to hot, but mild

41

:

temperatures in the afternoon.

42

:

It's been really nice.

43

:

Yeah.

44

:

Yeah.

45

:

In fact, both of our families on

different days, but we both went to

46

:

this Texas state fair this last week.

47

:

Yes, we did.

48

:

And what were your

thoughts about that place?

49

:

I love it.

50

:

Mostly.

51

:

I think for me a lot of it's nostalgia.

52

:

'cause I grew up going there and so going

back down is kind of that nostalgic thing.

53

:

But it's cool to see my kids enjoy it now.

54

:

And so we took the obligatory selfie

in front of big techs and we got some

55

:

good food and, got the Fletcher's

corn dog, which was always good.

56

:

Corny dog.

57

:

Say it right?

58

:

Well, they call it a corny dog.

59

:

Tomato.

60

:

Tomato.

61

:

No, no, it's not.

62

:

It's a corny dog.

63

:

Okay.

64

:

Well, it's very explicit

in their advertising.

65

:

It is not a corn dog.

66

:

It is a corny dog.

67

:

Okay.

68

:

And that's new to me.

69

:

Well, we got the Fletcher's.

70

:

As long as it's Fletcher's because

there's other purveyors of.

71

:

Corn.

72

:

Corn.

73

:

Dogs.

74

:

Dogs.

75

:

No.

76

:

No.

77

:

Those are corn dogs.

78

:

F Fletcher's is corny dogs.

79

:

There's other purveyors of them at

the fair that are even a foot long.

80

:

But Fletcher's is the og.

81

:

Like you, you gotta hit Fletcher's.

82

:

We got one for the first time.

83

:

Yeah.

84

:

We never had a Fletcher's corny dog.

85

:

Yeah.

86

:

I don't think.

87

:

Anyway.

88

:

In fact we would never get the

normal stuff that you get at a

89

:

fair because we think, well, what?

90

:

What's the fun in that?

91

:

Yeah.

92

:

Wanna go for the extraordinary things.

93

:

But we did get a corny

dog and it was great.

94

:

I loved it.

95

:

I wish I got one for myself.

96

:

We shared one.

97

:

Yeah.

98

:

Among six of us.

99

:

Jacob didn't come with us, but the

rest of us did enjoy a few bites.

100

:

At least it was wonderful because

the food there is insanely expensive.

101

:

Yeah.

102

:

Man.

103

:

I spent $80 faster than I blink.

104

:

I know.

105

:

It's like, where did it all go?

106

:

Well, and they get you because

they're like, Hey, buy these coupons.

107

:

Oh, it's only 10 coupons.

108

:

You're like, wait a minute.

109

:

I just bought a $10 corn dog.

110

:

Like what in the, a corny dog?

111

:

What just happened?

112

:

Yeah, the coupons, I don't get that.

113

:

I wish they would just let you use your

card because then there's at least a

114

:

little sense of, I'm spending money here,

I'm tapping to pay or whatever else.

115

:

I wonder, feel if it's

a speed thing, maybe.

116

:

'cause you don't have to do

the transaction at the line and

117

:

you've got different transactions.

118

:

Like it's all one.

119

:

Yeah.

120

:

I guess I never felt like I was waiting.

121

:

Maybe to your point, I never felt

like I was waiting very long.

122

:

Yeah.

123

:

And I don't think that the tickets

really accelerate a whole lot.

124

:

And I feel like I'm more prone to

lose them 'cause they're so small.

125

:

That's true.

126

:

Especially when there's, you

know, you have a book and there's

127

:

a row of 10 that are connected.

128

:

Yeah.

129

:

So if you need to do 17 tickets or 14

tickets, well now you have six kind

130

:

of floating around and then there's

sometimes two that are floating around.

131

:

'cause you got an 18 ticket thing.

132

:

Oh, I don't like it.

133

:

But the good news is if you've got

tickets left over at the end of the

134

:

day, you can save them for next year.

135

:

You can.

136

:

They don't expire.

137

:

I used all of my tickets.

138

:

In fact, I spent more than

the tickets than I expected.

139

:

And the last thing that we bought

was the, what was it called?

140

:

The cookie Chaos.

141

:

Oh, the milkshake.

142

:

Milkshake, yeah.

143

:

It was the winner in a

new category for Sweetss.

144

:

This year at the fair, which in fact,

today I don't know what the weather's

145

:

like today, Sunday, but you can go.

146

:

Today's the last day.

147

:

Last day of the fair.

148

:

I would suggest getting

the Cookie Chaos milkshake.

149

:

It's 17 tickets.

150

:

Which to translate in case

you're not tracking here is $17.

151

:

It's the most expensive shake

I've ever purchased in my life.

152

:

It's crazy.

153

:

But we loved it.

154

:

Yeah.

155

:

In fact, one of us loved it so much

that after we threw it away, she cried

156

:

for several minutes on the drive home

because it was the last thing we did.

157

:

It was Kristen.

158

:

I don't wanna pull her out there,

but thanks for bringing her up.

159

:

Yeah, Phoebe.

160

:

Phoebe lost it.

161

:

Phoebe lost it because it was so good.

162

:

That's how you know it's good.

163

:

That's how I know it was good.

164

:

It was sin, but it was wonderful.

165

:

We enjoyed it together.

166

:

The cookie chaos.

167

:

That's awesome.

168

:

There are, we found a website before

we went on how to find some budget

169

:

food at the fair that the fair

actually lists for you, which was cool.

170

:

Oh, there's a, an.

171

:

Oat Farms or Oak Farms booth

inside the main food tent there.

172

:

And you can get orange juice

for one coupon and they're,

173

:

they've this fruit juice thing.

174

:

Juice for two, two coupons

there, milk for two coupons and

175

:

like the little bottles there.

176

:

Wow.

177

:

So super cheap.

178

:

That is pretty good.

179

:

So we did hit that place up too, but.

180

:

State fair is fun.

181

:

It was fun.

182

:

Anyways, we've got a question,

but we'll save that for tomorrow.

183

:

Okay.

184

:

Let's jump into our DBR for today.

185

:

We're in Matthew chapter 15, and

then we are in Mark chapter seven.

186

:

That's right, yeah.

187

:

Matthew 15.

188

:

Mark seven.

189

:

Matthew 15 opens with some

confrontation again with the Pharisees.

190

:

And what we find here is Jesus

is gonna really reveal the main

191

:

problem that the Pharisees had.

192

:

And that is not so much that they were

wanting and pursuing righteousness

193

:

in some areas, but they'd become so

focused on their traditions that they

194

:

were actually promoting some of their

traditions even above and over the law

195

:

that they claim to follow so closely.

196

:

And so Jesus is going to.

197

:

Really in a masterful way, call

them out on their own hypocrisy

198

:

as they're trying to trap him.

199

:

He's gonna say, Hey let's talk about,

you wanna talk about hypocrisy?

200

:

You wanna talk about

failing to uphold the law?

201

:

Let's talk about this.

202

:

You talk about honoring your father and

mother, and yet you find a loophole in

203

:

your tradition saying if somebody says

that this is for the Lord, they don't

204

:

have to take care of their parents with

the money that otherwise they would've

205

:

used to take care of their parents.

206

:

How is that honoring your.

207

:

Your father and mother.

208

:

And so they're in, he's

indicting them on that.

209

:

And really this carries over into

the rest of this section, which

210

:

stretches down through verse 20,

which is where he's gonna say,

211

:

Hey, Pharisees you've got an issue.

212

:

And the is issue is, the

issue is a hard issue.

213

:

And he's gonna talk about something

with regards to defilement, and

214

:

he's gonna say it's not about.

215

:

What you touch or what you eat

or what you drink that defiles

216

:

you, none of that defiles you.

217

:

What defiles you is what's already

inside you because the heart

218

:

of the issue is a heart issue.

219

:

And Jesus is going to confront them

in their religiosity and in their

220

:

self-righteousness and say, you've got

all of these things that look great on the

221

:

outside, but inside is the where the real

problem is, and this is setting something

222

:

up that he's gonna go much more in depth.

223

:

In Matthew 23 when we get there

with some pretty strong statements,

224

:

but here he's at least hinting at

the same thing, which is Pharisees.

225

:

Your main problem is what's internal,

but he's also saying this with an earshot

226

:

of his followers, his disciples, so

that they, I think also understand,

227

:

okay, I need to think differently

about the way I've approached the

228

:

idea of being clean or unclean.

229

:

'cause for them growing up as Jews their

whole lives, it would've been ceremonially

230

:

clean versus ceremonially unclean.

231

:

And Jesus is saying there's a different

kind of cleansing that you need that is.

232

:

Internal rather than external.

233

:

Right.

234

:

And the problem with us today is that

even though we don't have these same

235

:

rules and regulations or the same kind of

approach that they have to the temple we

236

:

have forms of worship that are similar.

237

:

You know, you come to worship and

maybe you raise your hands or you're

238

:

singing loud or maybe you're even

giving, you can do all of those

239

:

things as a form of worship without

actually having your heart engage.

240

:

And I think that's what

Jesus is warning us against.

241

:

Having a form that looks like

the real thing, but minus the

242

:

heart, then it's nothing to a God.

243

:

He doesn't want our.

244

:

Actions.

245

:

And before he gets our

affections, he wants our heart.

246

:

And then the actions

spring from those things.

247

:

And that's what these

guys are divorcing here.

248

:

They're trying to do one thing

while mitigating the other and in

249

:

a process they're violating the law

of God, which ultimately is first of

250

:

all to love the Lord your God, and

then love your neighbor as yourself.

251

:

So do not separate what the Lord is joined

together from here in verses 21 through

252

:

28, we get a story that we haven't come

across yet in any of the other gospels.

253

:

And that is Jesus' interaction

with a Canaanite woman.

254

:

And that's important because we

need to understand Canaanite.

255

:

As Gentile, and we see that she

even comes from the region in

256

:

the District of Tyre inside.

257

:

And this should again, call back

memories from those areas back in the

258

:

Old Testament as we read about them

in the Old Testament prophets, these

259

:

were areas that were opposed to Israel.

260

:

These were the enemies of God, and God

in fact had prophesied destruction for

261

:

Tyre inside and they would ultimately

be overrun and overthrown under

262

:

the reign of Alexander the Great.

263

:

But this is the district.

264

:

This is the region.

265

:

That same area, again, Matthew's

writing to a Jewish audience.

266

:

So in the back of their minds,

they would've thought, okay,

267

:

Tyra and Seiden, they would've

thought about the Old Testament.

268

:

They would've thought about the law

and the prophets and the writings

269

:

about, okay, we, we know this area.

270

:

This is not a Jew.

271

:

And she comes forward and she.

272

:

Falls down and she says, have mercy on me.

273

:

Oh Lord.

274

:

Son of David.

275

:

My daughter is severely oppressed.

276

:

And this is interesting just because

of the title that she uses Here

277

:

you've got a Gentile using a Messianic

title for Jesus, son of David.

278

:

And it begs the question,

how did she know?

279

:

How did she know that that

was a title she should use?

280

:

How did she know that that should

be a title applied to Jesus?

281

:

And it, I think it at minimum shows

that she had a familiarity with him.

282

:

Perhaps she was following

him from a distance.

283

:

Perhaps she was.

284

:

Part of the crowds.

285

:

Maybe she was one of the 5,000

that was fed earlier in the gospel.

286

:

We don't know that's pressing too far

to be able to say with any certainty,

287

:

but she has some familiarity.

288

:

And then Jesus has this interaction,

which seems cold and tells the disciples

289

:

who are saying, Hey, send her away.

290

:

He answers and says, yeah, I was not

sent to the Gentiles, but only to the

291

:

lost sheep of the House of Israel.

292

:

But she continues to implore.

293

:

She persists saying, Lord, help me.

294

:

And then he makes this statement.

295

:

It's not right to take the children's

bread and throw it to the dogs.

296

:

The dogs there being the Gentiles, those

that are outside of the nation of Israel.

297

:

And again, Jesus is expressing his

primary audience is Israel here.

298

:

And then she responds with this statement.

299

:

She says, yes, Lord, but even

the dogs get the crumbs that

300

:

fall from their master's table.

301

:

So she's not asking for the

children's food, she's not

302

:

asking for him to reject Israel.

303

:

She's not asking for him to set

aside his mission to Israel.

304

:

She's rather just simply asking,

Lord, can I benefit from the presence

305

:

of what you're able to do here?

306

:

And would you do that

by healing my daughter?

307

:

And that elicits his response where

he says, woman, great is your faith,

308

:

be it done for you as you desire.

309

:

And her daughter was healed instantly.

310

:

Fascinating story here that we've

seen this in a couple other places

311

:

where Jesus interacts with the

Gentile and Marvels at their faith.

312

:

And it's in indicative of what he came

to do, that the gospel is not just for

313

:

the Jews, but also for the Gentiles.

314

:

Alright?

315

:

From here we get 29 through 39 an

another situation where the crowds

316

:

are gonna flock to Jesus after or

on the heels of him teaching and

317

:

also healing a lot of people here.

318

:

But this is another massive crowd.

319

:

And so, pastor Rod, do we understand

or should we understand that this

320

:

is a distinct crowd from the 5,000,

even though there's so many parallels

321

:

that we find here, there's some

differences, but how do we know that

322

:

this is a different account or should

we view it as a different account?

323

:

Should we view the 4,000 versus the

5,000 as two distinct accounts, right?

324

:

Yes.

325

:

And the reason why is because Jesus tells

us that these are two separate accounts.

326

:

Jesus says, did you not recall

when he is, he's chastising his

327

:

disciples to say, look, you think

I'm talking about bread here?

328

:

I'm not talking about bread.

329

:

Please stop thinking

I'm talking about bread.

330

:

Enough about the bread guys.

331

:

He's saying, do you not recall

when I fed the 5,000 and do you

332

:

not recall when I fed the 4,000?

333

:

So Jesus identifies these as

two specific accounts, right?

334

:

And that's helpful for you to remember.

335

:

So these are not the same thing.

336

:

He's doing it twice.

337

:

And the question is, of

course, why did he do it twice?

338

:

Because he could have done it

three times or six times, but

339

:

he does it twice and I suspect.

340

:

That the reason he does the 5,000 with

the people of Israel is because he's

341

:

showcasing I am the bread of life.

342

:

You thought that Moses fed you with bread?

343

:

I'm actually the bread that you need

to feast on as we mentioned previously.

344

:

But here I think this

is a different audience.

345

:

I don't know that I

could say definitively.

346

:

This is Israel.

347

:

I think there are hints.

348

:

And nothing specific, but that there

are hints that this is actually

349

:

a gentile, predominantly Gentile

territory, which would fit nicely with

350

:

the Sero Phoenician woman who is fed,

or rather her daughter, who has fed

351

:

the crumbs off of the master's table.

352

:

This would be in indicative that Jesus is

in expanding his ministry beyond the gates

353

:

of Israel into Gentile territory, which

hints at what he would eventually do,

354

:

which is to include anybody and everybody

who will call in the name of Jesus.

355

:

Yeah, I think you're right.

356

:

I would agree.

357

:

I think this is probably a gentile

territory in a gentile crowd that's

358

:

largely gathering, so I'm with you.

359

:

I think that's a good way

to handle it, for sure.

360

:

And there's minor differences that are

in the text that are notable differences

361

:

still, like the number of loaves versus

the number of fish and even the number

362

:

of baskets that they pick up at the end.

363

:

But there are parallels, but there's

enough differences for us here, including,

364

:

to your point, Jesus' own words that

he's gonna say, Hey these are two

365

:

different occasions for us to say no.

366

:

It's two different occasions here as we

flip over to Mark chapter seven, then what

367

:

we find in Mark chapter seven is a lot

of parallel between seven and 15, which

368

:

again is why we're reading them together.

369

:

He's gonna start out

talking about the Pharisees.

370

:

Hey, you've got the wrong emphasis here.

371

:

The Pharisees had been undermining

the word of God with their tradition.

372

:

In fact, in Mark seven 13, he says,

thus, making void the word of God,

373

:

you're even robbing the word of God

of its power by supplanting your

374

:

tradition over the word of God.

375

:

He's gonna talk about the heart

problems there in verses 14 through

376

:

23 and in Mark as a, an interesting

editorial note here in Mark seven 19.

377

:

Thus he declared all foods clean.

378

:

Mm.

379

:

The disciples didn't get that note.

380

:

Because if we fast forward to Acts

chapter 10, Peter is on top of a roof

381

:

and he sees in a vision, a sheet being

lowered down with all these unclean

382

:

animals in it, and Jesus or the voice

from heaven says, arise, kill, and eat.

383

:

Peter says, by no means

because these are our defiling.

384

:

And it happens three times.

385

:

And finally he gets it on the third time.

386

:

Oh, you're telling me that all

these foods, I can eat these now.

387

:

Praise God.

388

:

Praise God for bacon.

389

:

Yeah.

390

:

How many others?

391

:

Yep.

392

:

But here Jesus had already.

393

:

I declared that in in Mark seven, we

have the s Venetian woman, the can

394

:

woman there in Mark 7 24 through 30.

395

:

Mark doesn't record that Jesus commends

her faith is great, but that's where

396

:

reading the parallel accounts together

are helpful for us because it really

397

:

does show us that Jesus did have.

398

:

A high esteem for the way that

this woman had responded to him.

399

:

And then we get a unique event

here, and that is the healing

400

:

of the deaf and the dumb man.

401

:

And I think this anticipates the

opening of the ears to hear in the

402

:

mouth, to confess that Jesus Christ

is Lord as he's doing both here.

403

:

The ears and the tongue

loosening the tongue.

404

:

And it seems this is part of the

healing that brought the crowds that

405

:

he will then ultimately feed the 4,000.

406

:

So, matthew 15 recorded the 4,000.

407

:

We're gonna read about the 4,000 tomorrow

in Mark chapter eight, but here, I

408

:

think this is one of the examples of

the healing that he's doing in the area

409

:

that's causing everybody to flock to

Jesus, because again, Jesus is famous

410

:

at this point, and this is where I would

find hints that the crowd that we're

411

:

looking at is primarily Gentile, and

it's found in verse 31 where it says

412

:

He returned from the region of tire and

went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee.

413

:

In the region of the deis, the region

of the deis, the 10 cities is what

414

:

that word means, is a primarily a

confederation of gentile cities.

415

:

And so it doesn't mean that there's no

Israelites, I'm sure there were, but

416

:

that it's primarily a Gentile context.

417

:

And so you'll notice even

though there's a chapter break.

418

:

In verse one of chapter eight, it says,

in those days when, again, a great

419

:

crowd had gathered it seems like this

is a carryover from chapter seven to

420

:

chapter eight, that these are still

the same people, the same timeframe.

421

:

So that's one of the hints that

I was referring to earlier.

422

:

Another interesting, I don't know, an

interesting point from this particular

423

:

text, how Jesus heals this guy.

424

:

I would love for you to comment on

this PPJ verse 33 and taking him

425

:

aside from the crowd privately.

426

:

He put his fingers into his ears and

after spitting touched his tongue.

427

:

And then he sighed and

he said, Raha be open.

428

:

Well, why did he do it this way?

429

:

Jesus could have spoken a word

because he done, he did this before.

430

:

Well, we saw him heal.

431

:

People from a distance doesn't

need to touch, but he does it.

432

:

He puts his fingers in his ears and

then does this weird thing where he, I

433

:

think he spits on his tongue or spits

on his fingers and touches his tongue.

434

:

I'm not quite sure.

435

:

It's a little bit ambiguous,

but why does he do it this way?

436

:

I don't know if I have

a good answer for that.

437

:

Other than , we see him heal

in different ways in multiple

438

:

contexts within his ministry.

439

:

And he's gonna have another situation

we're gonna read about where he

440

:

is gonna have a two-state healing.

441

:

Which there, I think there's a more

clear, like, okay, we can see maybe

442

:

there's a deeper meaning here behind this.

443

:

Yeah.

444

:

Here.

445

:

I don't know that there's anything

that I can point to with concrete.

446

:

Confidence at least to say, I think

this is why he does it this way.

447

:

But if you have thoughts

on it, I'll take a stab.

448

:

Yeah.

449

:

Just because I don't really have a great

answer to this, but here's my thinking.

450

:

Jesus could heal any way he

wants, so there must be a

451

:

reason why he does it this way.

452

:

And here's my best guess.

453

:

Verse three, two says they

brought to him a man who was.

454

:

Death.

455

:

That means he can't hear and

he has a speech impediment, so

456

:

there's something about his ability

to communicate his thinking.

457

:

I'm wondering if Jesus seeing this man

and knowing him better than he knows

458

:

himself, says he needs to see this.

459

:

And even though I can speak the word

and he can be healed, even though I can

460

:

just think it and he could be healed.

461

:

I need him to see a demonstration of this.

462

:

And so Jesus condescends in his

healing, in order to show him,

463

:

here's what I'm doing for you.

464

:

I'm gonna put my fingers in your ears

to show that I'm gonna heal your ears.

465

:

And then I'm gonna use my saliva and

touch your tongue with it to show that

466

:

I'm healing and I'm loosening your tongue.

467

:

And this is the way that

he communicated best.

468

:

This is a father using baby

language with his kids.

469

:

In other words, Jesus is

condescending for his sake.

470

:

I don't think anyone else around here

benefits from that except for this man.

471

:

And he does it because

he cares about this man.

472

:

And that's how he decided to heal him.

473

:

And I think that's.

474

:

That's fitting of the

kind of God that we serve.

475

:

Mm-hmm.

476

:

He loves us enough to

condescend to our needs.

477

:

He's willing to lower himself to help us

understand, and I think that's a really

478

:

cool image of what Jesus does for us.

479

:

Yeah.

480

:

I love that.

481

:

I think you're right.

482

:

That's that's good.

483

:

Yeah.

484

:

The sigh, the groan is interesting too.

485

:

I.

486

:

Yeah.

487

:

Yeah, yeah.

488

:

It gets, the more you dig, the more

interesting it is because he just

489

:

doesn't have to do any of this.

490

:

Nope.

491

:

He could just speak.

492

:

He could just think, and

it's done, but he doesn't.

493

:

So there's so many cool facets here.

494

:

You should spend some time

digging into that, folks.

495

:

Yeah.

496

:

I love that though.

497

:

I think you're right.

498

:

I think he engages with that man

in the way that that man could best

499

:

understand what, what was happening.

500

:

Isn't that so sweet?

501

:

Yeah, so sweet.

502

:

Yeah, for sure.

503

:

For sure.

504

:

Well, hey, let me reiterate

today's baptism Sunday.

505

:

So if you're listening to this before you

get to church we're excited about today.

506

:

This is an important day, and

if you aren't yet aware, we're

507

:

gonna do this after our service.

508

:

I promise not to preach too long today.

509

:

Mm-hmm.

510

:

But 1140 is what we're gonna shoot for.

511

:

We're gonna have food there.

512

:

We're gonna feed your family because

we want this to be a family event for.

513

:

Not just your immediate

family, but our church family.

514

:

Yes.

515

:

So, gather together, we're gonna

be underneath that blue awning

516

:

outside the church building there,

and we will hear your testimonies.

517

:

I think we've got four or

five baptisms tomorrow.

518

:

And these are all men and women

that have met with one of us as

519

:

pastors and given their testimony.

520

:

And so we've heard.

521

:

That it, and being able to attest, yes

we are confident that this is somebody

522

:

who is truly walking with the Lord.

523

:

And we're excited to do this.

524

:

So join us.

525

:

Plan to stay a little bit

later after church tomorrow.

526

:

We know you've got plans for

lunch and other things like that.

527

:

That's why we wanna feed you and calm

the grumbling tummies a little bit there.

528

:

But this is such a good

thing for us to do.

529

:

So plan to join us today after

church for our baptism service.

530

:

We would love for you to do that.

531

:

Yeah, let's pray and then we'll be done.

532

:

God, we are in awe of the way that you.

533

:

Work the way that you hear in this text,

even as Pastor Rod was just saying.

534

:

So personably pursued this

man who needed healing.

535

:

And really the way that you've done

that with us, if we're in Christ by

536

:

coming for each of each one of us,

and bringing the gospel to us in a way

537

:

that we could understand it in a way

that you would open our eyes and give

538

:

us ears to hear, to be able to see and

hear the good news, the message that

539

:

we need, Jesus as our savior we love

that you're a God that cares about us.

540

:

So, personably and intimately

and deeply, and we also love what

541

:

we're gonna celebrate today with

baptisms, that you're a God that.

542

:

Unites us to Christ and unites us to

Christ through the church that you

543

:

bring us into the body of Christ,

into this family of believers that we

544

:

now get to call a church family and

call brothers and sisters in Christ.

545

:

Would you pray for a great day today, on

Sunday, a great time worshiping Christ,

546

:

exalting him through all that we do.

547

:

In Jesus' name, amen.

548

:

Amen.
