Caption transcript for Champions of Faith: “Work — Noah” (3/11)

• 00:04 HEBREWS 11 HONORS THE CHAMPIONS
• 00:06 OF FAITH WHO WANDERED IN DESERTS
• 00:08 AND IN MOUNTAINS AND CAVES OF THE EARTH.
• 00:10 BECAUSE OF THIS CLOUD OF WITNESSES,
• 00:12 WE CAN RUN WITH PATIENCE THE RACE THAT IS SET BEFORE US.
• 00:16 ♪♪
• 00:50 IT CAME TO PASS IN THE DAYS OF NOAH
• 00:52 THAT GOD WAS GRIEVED WITH ALL MANKIND.
• 00:59 AND GOD SAID UNTO NOAH,
• 01:00 THE END OF ALL FLESH IS COME BEFORE ME,
• 01:04 FOR THE EARTH IS FILLED WITH VIOLENCE AND BEHOLD,
• 01:07 I WILL DESTROY ALL FLESH AND ALL THE EARTH.
• 01:13 BUT TO THIS MAN, NOAH, GOD GAVE THE INSTRUCTIONS
• 01:17 OF AN ARK TO BE PREPARED FOR THE SALVATION OF HIS HOUSEHOLD.
• 01:24 HE SUFFERED THE RIDICULE OF AN UNBELIEVING GENERATION.
• 01:28 THEY LAUGHED AT THE WARNING OF A FLOOD.
• 01:31 THEY MOCKED JEHOVAH AND NOAH WORKED WITH GODLY FEAR.
• 01:40 THROUGH PRAYER, WITH SACRIFICIAL FAITH,
• 01:42 HE WOULD COMPLETE THE TASK.
• 01:45 AND GOD'S LONG-SUFFERING WOULD COME TO AN END.
• 01:51 AFTER 99 YEARS OF DILIGENT WORK,
• 01:54 NOAH AND HIS FAMILY WOULD ENTER THE ARK AND BE SAVED.
• 02:00 ( speaking Hebrew )
• 02:09 WHEN THERE WAS ONLY ONE WITH FAITH,
• 02:11 ONE FAITH WAS ALL THAT WAS NEEDED.
• 02:15 (speaking Hebrew )
• 02:47 SHALOM, HELLO AGAIN.
• 02:49 WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT NOAH TONIGHT.
• 02:51 AND THERE WAS A FELLA WHO REALLY DID SOME WORKS.
• 02:55 IT TOOK NOAH 99 YEARS TO BUILD AN ARK.
• 02:59 AND HE BUILT IT, OF COURSE, WITH HIS OWN HANDS.
• 03:01 NOW, THAT WAS A LOT OF WORK.
• 03:04 FAITH AND WORKS IS A DISCUSSION
• 03:07 THAT GOES ON AND ON IN THE CHURCH.
• 03:10 AND HOW MUCH FAITH AND HOW MANY WORKS AND WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE
• 03:13 OF THOSE TO THE LORD?
• 03:15 I HAVE A FRIEND WHO IS A ROMAN CATHOLIC AND HE'S WORKING BUT WORKING ON HIS SALVATION.
• 03:20 AND I POINTED OUT TO HIM TIME AND AGAIN EPHESIANS 2:8-9,
• 03:24 SALVATION IS THE FREE GIFT OF GOD LEST ANY MAN BOAST.
• 03:27 WE DO NOTHING TO EARN IT.
• 03:30 IT IS SIMPLY RESULT OF FAITH AND HE QUOTES JAMES WITHOUT WORKS FAITH AND DEAD.
• 03:36 YES, IT DOES NOT REPRODUCE, IF WE DON'T HAVE WORKS.
• 03:40 WE CANNOT SEE EACH OTHER'S FAITH WITHOUT SEEING WORKS.
• 03:41 AND WE GO BACK AND FORTH PUT IT THAT WAY.
• 03:45 THERE IS HOWEVER, IN THE BIBLE, A DISCUSSION OF WORKS AND WE
• 03:50 ARE GOING TO COME TO THAT AND FIRST, WE ARE GOING TO TALK
• 03:53 ABOUT NOAH AND THE AMAZING JOB HE DID FOR THE LORD AND REALLY
• 03:59 TO CONTINUE THE HUMAN RACE AND TO PRESERVE IT AFTER THE FLOOD.
• 04:04 HEBREWS 11:7 TAKES THIS UP.
• 04:28 THE DISCUSSION OF WORKS --
• 04:43 IN OTHER WORDS, WHEN A PERSON HAS FAITH, HE HAS GIFTS FROM GOD.
• 04:48 AND THIS IS IN THE NEW TESTAMENT,
• 04:51 WE ALL HAVE AT LEAST ONE GIFT.
• 04:53 AND WE DO WORKS AUTOMATICALLY.
• 04:56 WE WANT TO DO WORKS.
• 04:57 NOAH WAS DOING WORKS BY THE DIRECT COMMAND OF GOD.
• 05:01 YOU KNOW, LET ME POINT OUT THAT IT HAD NEVER RAINED.
• 05:04 WHEN NOAH BUILT THIS ARK, NO ONE HAD SEEN A DROP OF RAIN.
• 05:07 NOAH UNDERSTOOD RAIN AND FLOOD AS MUCH AS A BLIND MAN
• 05:11 UNDERSTANDS THE SNOW-COVERED MOUNTAIN.
• 05:14 HE HAD TO DO THIS COMPLETELY ON FAITH.
• 05:17 AND IN VIEW OF THE FACT THAT IT TOOK NEARLY A CENTURY OF WORK
• 05:21 TO MAKE THIS ARK IN WHICH HE PUT ALL OF THE ANIMALS AND BIRDS
• 05:25 AND PRESERVED THEM FOR US, YOU MIGHT SAY,
• 05:28 "WELL, WHY DIDN'T GOD BUILD THE ARK?"
• 05:32 BUT AGAIN, IF NOAH HAD NO WORKS TO DO,
• 05:35 HIS FAITH WOULD NOT BE A WITNESS.
• 05:37 HIS FAITH WOULD BE DEAD.
• 05:39 WITHOUT WORKS FAITH IS DEAD.
• 05:40 AT LEAST THOSE WHO SAW HIM BUILDING THE ARK HAD A CHANCE
• 05:44 TO CONSIDER, WELL, YOU KNOW, POSSIBLY THE OLD GUY IS RIGHT.
• 05:47 WHAT IF IT REALLY DOES FLOOD?
• 05:50 WHAT IF WATER FALLS FROM THE SKY AND INUNDATES THE EARTH AND
• 05:54 GETS OVER OUR HEADS, HOW WILL WE SURVIVE THAT?
• 05:58 I GUESS SOME MAY HAVE TAKEN HIM SERIOUSLY.
• 06:01 BUT IN GENERAL, HE WAS SCORNED.
• 06:03 THERE WAS A PICTURE OF PEOPLE LAUGHING AT HIM, OH,
• 06:07 MARRYING AND GIVING IN MARRIAGE AND GOING ON ABOUT THEIR LIVES AS HE LABORED AWAY.
• 06:12 BUT HE HAD RECEIVED THE CLEAR COMMAND OF GOD.
• 06:16 IN MATTHEW 25:21 THE LORD COMMENDS THOSE WHO DO THEIR WORKS FOR THE LORD.
• 06:38 WELL, TO APPLY THIS TO NOAH'S CASE WAS VERY CLEAR.
• 06:41 HE HAD A SPECIFIC JOB TO DO TO BUILD THIS TREMENDOUS SHIP.
• 06:44 HE DID THAT AND THE LORD THEN, MADE HIM RULER OVER MANY THINGS.
• 06:51 WELL, NOAH BECAME RULER OVER THE WHOLE EARTH, IN EFFECT.
• 06:53 ADAM WAS THE PREVIOUS RULER, THAT IS THE FIRST MAN AND NOW,
• 06:58 THERE WAS ONLY ONE FAMILY LEFT AND NO OTHER INHABITANTS.
• 07:00 AND HE WAS THE NEW RULER.
• 07:02 IF HE WAS FAITHFUL IN FEW THINGS.
• 07:04 IT WASN'T JUST A FEW THINGS TO BUILD THAT BIG SHIP.
• 07:06 BUT, IF WE DO THE WORKS GOD GIVES US,
• 07:09 THEN HE TENDS TO GIVE US MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO AND WE
• 07:13 TRULY ENTER INTO THE JOY OF THE LORD.
• 07:28 NOW, ON THIS MATTER OF WORKS,
• 07:30 EVERYONE OF US IS CALLED TO DO THEM.
• 07:31 I HAVE TAUGHT THIS BEFORE AND I THINK IT BEARS REPEATING FROM TIME TO TIME.
• 07:35 BECAUSE THE CHURCH SEEMS TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT THE SINS.
• 07:39 BUT THE SINS ARE FORGIVEN AT THE CROSS.
• 07:41 GOD SAID, "I WILL REMEMBER THEM NO MORE."
• 07:45 IT IS OUR WORKS IN THIS LIFE WHICH ARE CRUCIAL TO WHAT WE
• 07:48 ACCOMPLISH FOR THE LORD AND WHAT WE WILL HAVE FOR THE
• 07:50 KINGDOM TO COME BY WAY OF REWARDS.
• 07:53 THE LORD CALLS EVERYONE OF US TO AN ACTIVE MINISTRY.
• 07:56 WE ARE CALLED IN SCRIPTURE, WORKERS IN A FIELD,
• 08:01 SOLDIERS IN AN ARMY.
• 08:03 WE ARE NOT GOING TO SIT BACK AND WAIT UNTIL THE GREAT DAY
• 08:04 WE CAN CASH IN OUR SALVATION LIKE A MONEY MARKET CERTIFICATE.
• 08:08 WE ARE CALLED TO DO THINGS AS SOLDIERS, AS WORKERS, AS HARVESTERS DO.
• 08:14 AND IN THE END, THESE THINGS ARE GOING TO BE CHECKED OUT
• 08:18 WHEN WE GO TO HEAVEN AS TO HOW WELL WE DID WITH THE GIFTS THAT WE HAD.
• 08:22 WE ARE NOT ALL CALLED TO DO THE SAME THINGS.
• 08:24 A SINGER IS TO SING AND A TEACHER IS TO TEACH.
• 08:27 AND AN INTERCESSOR INTERCEDES AND A GIVER GIVES.
• 08:32 THIS SHOULD BE APPARENT, BUT IT ISN'T REALLY STRESSED ENOUGH IN THE CHURCH.
• 08:36 WE ARE ALWAYS CONCERNED MORE ABOUT OUR BEHAVIOR THAN HOW WE ARE WORKING.
• 08:40 IT REMINDS ME, YOU KNOW, THE PEOPLE THAT COME TO CHURCH AND
• 08:44 WELL-DRESSED, AND NOT TO CRITICIZE,
• 08:46 THEIR EMPHASIZE IS ON A PERFECT LOOKING AND ACTING CHURCH PERSON
• 08:51 BUT THEIR WORKS MAY BE VERY FEW.
• 08:54 AND IT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SOLDIER AT THE PENTAGON,
• 08:58 IN A WONDERFUL UNIFORM WITH POLISHED BUTTONS AND CREASED PANTS,
• 09:03 AND ABLE TO RECITE THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE PERFECTLY
• 09:06 VERSUS THE SOLDIER IN A FOXHOLE WITH A RIFLE WITH MUD ON HIS
• 09:11 FACE AND SLEEPING ON THE GROUND AND DOING THE REAL WORK OF THE THING.
• 09:15 THE CHURCH CALLS FOR BOTH.
• 09:19 THERE HAVE TO BE PEOPLE IN THE CHURCH WHO REPRESENT THE CHURCH
• 09:23 TO THE COMMUNITY AND THERE HAVE TO BE PEOPLE THAT ARE OUT THERE DOING THE WORK.
• 09:28 BUT EVERYONE OF US, FOR EXAMPLE, NEEDS TO BE WITNESSING,
• 09:31 TESTIFYING OF CHRIST, WINNING SOULS.
• 09:33 THAT'S GIVEN TO EVERYONE.
• 09:35 AND EVERYONE HAS THE GIFT AND A LITTLE CHILD IN CHRISTENDOM
• 09:39 CAN PASS THAT ETERNAL LIFE TO AN ARMY OF ADULTS.
• 09:43 IT SAYS,
• 10:01 IN OTHER WORDS, WHEN WE GO TO HEAVEN,
• 10:03 WE ARE GOING TO REVIEW WITH THE LORD, IN A JUDGMENT SEAT,
• 10:07 INDIVIDUALLY, FACE TO FACE WITH THE LORD, THE WORKS THAT WE DID IN THIS LIFE.
• 10:13 AND IN I CORINTHIANS 3:11,
• 10:47 IN OTHER WORDS, EVERY MAN'S WORK WILL BE SHOWN TO HIM.
• 10:50 IN EFFECT, WE ARE SEEING A VIDEOTAPE OF OUR LIVES WHEN WE
• 10:55 ARE IN HEAVEN WITH CHRIST.
• 10:57 AND WE ARE GOING TO SEE HOW WELL WE DID WITH THE GIFTS THAT WE HAD.
• 11:00 AND THERE WILL BE GOOD AND BAD WORKS.
• 11:04 WE ALL HAVE THOSE.
• 11:05 I DON'T KNOW HOW TO JUDGE WHAT THEY ARE, BUT PERHAPS,
• 11:08 I WAS CALLED TO WITNESS AND IT WAS RAINING.
• 11:11 AND I DIDN'T REALLY WANT TO LEAVE THE HOUSE AND I SKIPPED IT THAT DAY,
• 11:14 AND THE LORD SAID, "I LOST A CHILD BECAUSE OF YOU."
• 11:18 SOMEBODY WASN'T SAVED THAT WAS EAR MARKED FOR ME TO WITNESS TO.
• 11:21 I DON'T KNOW.
• 11:23 I AM SPECULATING.
• 11:24 AND THEN THERE ARE GOOD WORKS.
• 11:25 PEOPLE SEND US GIFTS,
• 11:27 THE LIKE OF WHICH IF I WROTE A CHECK THAT SIZE, MY HAND WOULD FALL OFF.
• 11:31 THEY HAVE A GIFT OF GIVING AND THERE IS SUCH A GIFT.
• 11:33 PEOPLE INTERCEDE FOR OUR MINISTRY.
• 11:35 HOW IS IT THAT WE'VE BEEN 18 YEARS ON TELEVISION
• 11:37 AND SUPPORTED ONLY BY DONATIONS?
• 11:40 WE HAVE NO CHURCH, NO EVANGELICAL ASSOCIATION.
• 11:43 WE DON'T TAKE FUNDS FROM ANYWHERE,
• 11:45 JUST FROM OUR VIEWERS.
• 11:46 THE INTERCESSORS WHO ARE PRAYING FOR US.
• 11:49 THEY HAVE BEEN DOING THEIR WORKS.
• 11:51 HOW AM I ALIVE AFTER ALL OF THESE YEARS,
• 11:52 WITH BYPASSES IN MY HEART AND DOING THE KIND OF WORK THAT I DO,
• 11:55 RUNNING BACK AND FORTH TO ISRAEL?
• 11:57 THE INTERCESSOR THAT ARE PRAYING FOR ME, I DON'T DOUBT IT.
• 12:07 THE LORD WILL PUT A TORCH TO THOSE GOLD, SILVER
• 12:10 AND PRECIOUS STONES AND THEY WILL NOT BE DAMAGED.
• 12:12 BUT THE TORCH WILL BURN UP THAT WOOD, HAY AND STUBBLE AND WILL
• 12:15 PURIFY AWAY THE BAD WORKS.
• 12:30 NOBODY IS GOING TO FALL BACK ON HEAVEN.
• 12:31 ONCE YOU ARE SAVED.
• 12:32 GOOD WORKS OR BAD, YOU ARE SAVED.
• 12:34 BUT THE REWARDS YOU GET IN THE KINGDOM DEPENDS ON THE WORKS YOU DID HERE.
• 12:39 THE KINGDOM NEEDS RULERS OF CITIES,
• 12:41 THE KINGDOM NEEDS PEOPLE TO DELIVER THE MAIL.
• 12:44 THE KINGDOM NEEDS EVERYTHING WE HAVE IN THE WORLD NOW.
• 12:46 PLAN FOR YOUR JOB IN THE KINGDOM WITH YOUR WORKS NOW.
• 12:51 AND THE REWARDS COME FOR THE GOOD WORKS OBVIOUSLY.
• 12:55 WELL, AND THE LORD WARNS THAT IT'S A SUDDEN ENDING
• 12:58 TO THIS CHURCH, ACTUALLY THE CHANCE WE HAVE TO DO WORKS.
• 13:25 THE END IS SUDDEN.
• 13:27 THE LORD COMES, THAT'S IT.
• 13:29 IF YOU WERE AT A WEDDING, AND EATING AND DRINKING,
• 13:32 NOT DOING YOUR GOOD WORKS AND IF YOU DID NOT MAKE
• 13:36 A RESERVATION TO GET ON THIS SHIP,
• 13:38 THEN YOU WILL BE SURPRISED AND TAKEN AWAY BY THE FLOOD.
• 13:43 NOW THE FLOOD IS THE TRIBULATION THAT IS COMING,
• 13:46 THE ARK, OF COURSE, IS CHRIST.
• 13:48 IN ANOTHER WAY, SOMEONE PICTURED THAT CHARACTER OF NOAH IS LIKE
• 13:53 THE JEWS BECAUSE HE RIDES OUT THE JUDGMENT IN THE ARK.
• 13:57 HE'S ON THE SHIP FOR 40 DAYS.
• 14:00 HE'S WORRIED.
• 14:01 HE'S CONCERNED.
• 14:01 IT'S DIFFICULT.
• 14:03 BUT HE RIDES IT OUT AND HE INHERITS A WHOLE NEW WORLD.
• 14:05 AS THE JEWS -- SURVIVING JEWS WILL RIDE OUT
• 14:08 THE TRIBULATION AND LOOK UPON HIM WHOM THEY PIERCED WHEN HE
• 14:11 COMES AND BE SAVED, INHERIT THE KINGDOM TO COME.
• 14:14 THOSE SURVIVING JEWS.
• 14:16 WE MUST WITNESS TO THE UNSAVED JEWS NOW.
• 14:19 NOW ENOCH, IN THAT IMAGE, IS THE CHURCH.
• 14:22 ENOCH WAS TRANSLATED TO HEAVEN BEFORE THE JUDGMENT,
• 14:24 BEFORE IT EVER STARTED TO RAIN.
• 14:27 AND BEFORE NOAH CAME, ENOCH WAS TAKEN UP AND TRANSLATED TO
• 14:30 HEAVEN AS THE CHURCH WILL BE IN THE RAPTURE.
• 14:33 SO WHAT CAN I SAY?
• 14:35 WE ALL HAVE A CHOICE.
• 14:36 BY FAITH, WE CAN BUILD,
• 14:40 NOT A SHIP NECESSARILY BUT A RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST.
• 14:42 OR WE CAN EAT AND DRINK,
• 14:45 MARRY AND GIVEN IN MARRIAGE AND WHEN THE FLOOD COMES, IT WILL TAKE US AWAY.
• 15:18 WALK DOWN THE MOUNT OF OLIVES,
• 15:21 SAIL ACROSS THE SEA OF GALILEE,
• 15:25 RIDE TO THE SUMMIT OF MASADA.
• 15:29 FLOAT IN THE DEAD SEA.
• 15:33 FIND THE TREASURES OF PETRA.
• 15:37 TOUR THE HOLY LAND WITH ZOLA LEVITT.
• 15:48 WELL, NOAH WAS A MAN WHO DID SOME HARD WORK.
• 15:51 YOU KNOW, THE ISRAEL WE SHOW YOU IS DIFFERENT THAN NEW'S PROGRAMS.
• 15:56 BUT THIS IS ISRAEL ALSO.
• 15:58 WE ARE GOING TO TESTIMONIALS
• 16:00 NOW FROM ISRAEL AND FROM AMERICA,
• 16:02 JEWISH AND GENTILE TESTIMONY THAT REALLY DEMONSTRATE THAT
• 16:06 THE LIFE LED BY NOAH, THE LIFE OF HARD WORK
• 16:09 AND RIGHT RELATIONSHIP TO GOD AND STRONG FAITH IS THE SAME
• 16:13 TODAY AS IT WAS BACK THEN.
• 16:15 NOW, BACK TO ISRAEL.
• 16:18 BOY, BOY, BOY, BOY.
• 16:19 AND THE DOG ALSO USES IT AS A CODE WORD
• 16:21 FOR HER TO GO BEHIND THE FLOCK.
• 16:23 Zola: TAL ELLIS IS A JEWISH BELIEVER WHO MOVED TO ISRAEL 19 YEARS AGO.
• 16:27 AND HE NOW RAISES SHEEP ON HIS FARM IN A LUSH GREEN AREA OF THE GALILEE.
• 16:32 LIKE NOAH, TAL HAS APPLIED PHYSICAL WORK TO HIS FAITH
• 16:36 IN ACCOMPLISHING WHAT GOD HAS LED HIM TO DO.
• 16:39 GOD HAS SHOWN US SOMETHING
• 16:41 AND TAKEN MANY YEARS TO ACCOMPLISH THIS.
• 16:46 IT WASN'T SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED OVERNIGHT
• 16:48 OR I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THINGS GO MUCH QUICKER.
• 16:52 IN SPITE OF THAT, WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO JUST
• 16:54 KEEP ON PUSHING FORWARD,
• 16:56 BELIEVING THAT WHAT HE SHOWED US, HE WILL ACCOMPLISH.
• 16:59 Zola: TAL CAN IDENTIFY IN A UNIQUE WAY WITH NOAH.
• 17:03 BECAUSE HE, TOO, HAS LEARNED TO PHYSICALLY WORK WITH ANIMALS.
• 17:06 WORKING WITH ANIMALS ON A DAY-TO-DAY BASIS IS NOT THE
• 17:08 SAME AS GOING TO A PETTING ZOO AND STROKING A FEW ANIMALS.
• 17:12 THERE IS A LOT OF WORK AND DAY IN AND DAY OUT,
• 17:17 THEY NEED CARE AND HELP,
• 17:19 THEY NEED A LOT OF ATTENTION.
• 17:22 AND IT IS A FULL-TIME JOB.
• 17:25 I AM SURE FOR HIM IT WAS A FULL-TIME JOB AS WELL.
• 17:28 FAITH IS BELIEVING WHAT HE SAID HE WILL DO HE WILL COMPLETE.
• 17:32 FAITH IS MOVING FORWARD
• 17:34 WITH THE TASK THAT HE'S GIVEN YOU TO DO.
• 17:37 BELIEVING HE WILL MAKE UP THE DIFFERENCE.
• 17:40 FAITH IS TRUSTING HIM THAT EVEN THOUGH YOU DON'T SEE
• 17:43 THE RESULTS UP FRONT, YOU STILL BELIEVE THEY ARE GOING
• 17:48 TO HAPPEN BECAUSE HE SAID THEY WOULD.
• 17:49 I THINK FAITH GOES WITH TRIALS AND GOES WITH BEING MADE WHOLE PERSON.
• 17:57 AND I THINK THAT THIS IDEA OF JUST EVERYTHING COMING EASY OR
• 18:01 IF YOU BELIEVE IT THAT IT IS JUST GOING TO HAPPEN,
• 18:07 I DON'T SEE THAT AS A SCRIPTURAL TYPE OF FAITH ALSO.
• 18:10 I DON'T SEE THAT WITH THE LIVES OF MOST OF THE MEN IN THE
• 18:12 SCRIPTURE THEY HAD THAT TYPE OF FAITH AND INSTANTLY HAD WHATEVER THEY WANTED.
• 18:20 THEY JUST NAME AND CLAIM IT.
• 18:22 THAT'S NOT THE TYPE OF FAITH THAT I CAN SEE IN THE SCRIPTURE.
• 18:24 I THINK WE HAVE TO GET BACK TO LOOKING AT THE REAL CHARACTERS
• 18:29 AND WHAT THEY WERE REALLY ABOUT.
• 18:30 WE'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN MINISTRY 28 YEARS
• 18:32 AND WE'VE ACTUALLY BUILT SEVERAL CHURCHES PHYSICALLY.
• 18:35 Zola: EDDIE MITCHELL IS A PASTOR WHO LIKE NOAH OFTEN
• 18:38 TAKES HAMMER AND NAIL PRACTICALLY TO APPLY HIS FAITH.
• 18:43 JUST A FEW DAYS AGO, 11 PASTORS MET IN DANGERFIELD TO HELP A PASTOR.
• 18:49 THERE WAS A 11 OF US.
• 18:50 A PASTOR HAD BOUGHT A CAR LOT BUILDING AND WAS
• 18:54 IN THE PROCESS OF REMODELING IT.
• 18:56 I MEAN, LITERALLY MAKING IT AVAILABLE FOR WORSHIP
• 19:00 AND SO WE WENT IN AND HELPED THAT PASTOR HANG SHEET ROCK,
• 19:04 BUILD WALLS, GETTING THEM TO BE ABLE TO WORSHIP GOD.
• 19:09 OTHERWISE THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO HAVE THAT BUILDING UNLESS
• 19:12 THERE IS PEOPLE JOINING TOGETHER TO HELP.
• 19:15 I THINK WHEN YOU ARE DEALING WITH NOAH,
• 19:18 DEALING WITH FAITH AND THE PRINCIPLES OF THE CHURCH,
• 19:20 THAT AT TIMES THAT IT MEANS THAT AS A PASTOR, AS A MINISTER,
• 19:26 THERE IS GOING TO BE THAT PHYSICAL LABOR THAT YOU BELIEVE
• 19:29 GOD AND YOU GO OUT AND DO THE WORK THAT GOD CALLED YOU TO DO.
• 19:33 USUALLY IT STARTS OFF WHEN YOU HAVE AN ABUNDANCE OF MEMBERS
• 19:37 SAYING, "YES, WE'LL HELP."
• 19:39 BUT IN THE PROCESS, BECAUSE IT TAKES LONGER
• 19:41 WHEN YOU ARE DOING IT YOURSELF AND YOU ARE ASKING FOR VOLUNTEER
• 19:46 HELP, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, BECOMES MORE PERSONAL.
• 19:51 THOSE THAT DO COME IN AND HELP YOU,
• 19:53 THEY FEEL MORE ATTACHED TO THE VISION OF THE HOUSE,
• 19:58 TO THE BUILDING THAT THEY ARE BUILDING.
• 20:00 AND IT BECOMES A PERSONAL PROJECT AND BECAUSE THEY
• 20:05 HAVE ALLOWED THEIR FAITH TO OPERATE AND TO BE A PART OF IT,
• 20:08 SO IT BECOMES PART OF THEM.
• 20:11 Zola: PASTOR MITCHELL REALIZES THAT WORKS IN THEMSELVES ARE NOT SUFFICIENT.
• 20:16 WE CAN BUILD A HUNDRED CHURCHES AND A THOUSAND CHURCHES
• 20:18 AND IF WE EXPECT THAT WITHIN ITSELF TO HELP US MAKE IT TO HEAVEN,
• 20:24 THEN WE HAVE FELL SHORT OF THE MARK BECAUSE WE KNOW IT TAKES
• 20:28 THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST AND THEN OPERATE IN THAT FAITH.
• 20:31 BUT ONCE WE HAVE THAT FAITH, WE HAVE TO HAVE THE WORKS TO GO ALONG WITH IT.
• 20:35 IT DOESN'T MEAN NOW WE RECEIVE JESUS AND WE HAVE FAITH AND SIT
• 20:39 HERE AND SAY IT IS OKAY.
• 20:42 I DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING MORE, I HAVE FAITH.
• 20:44 EVERY DAY WE HAVE TO APPLY THE PRINCIPLE OF FAITH TO OUR LIFE
• 20:50 AND THE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY TO LIVE FOR JESUS CHRIST.
• 20:54 IT IS A WALK OF FAITH.
• 20:55 WE WALK BY FAITH AND NOT BY SIGHT.
• 20:57 SO IT IS A WALK OF FAITH EVERYDAY.
• 20:59 BUT WE HAVE TO WALK.
• 21:01 I BELIEVE THAT IF GOD CHOSE US TO DO SOMETHING WE SHOULD DO
• 21:05 IT REGARDLESS WHETHER OTHER PEOPLE SEE US OR DON'T SEE US.
• 21:09 IF WE ARE GIVEN A TASK TO DO, WE ARE TO DO IT TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY.
• 21:14 I THINK THAT TYPE OF FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS NOT FAITH.
• 21:20 FAITH HAS TO COME WITH WORKS AND FAITHFUL TO WHAT HE HAS
• 21:23 GIVEN US TO DO AS WELL.

• 24:39 WELL, NOAH WAS SOMEBODY WHO KNEW ABOUT WORK, NO QUESTION THERE.
• 24:43 YOU KNOW, WE ALL WORK, BUT CHRISTIANS OUGHT TO WORK WITHIN
• 24:48 THE WILL OF GOD LIKE NOAH.
• 24:50 OBVIOUSLY NOAH WOULD NEVER EVER HAVE BUILT A BOAT AND HAVE NO
• 24:54 IDEA WHAT A BOAT WOULD BE FOR OTHER THAN THAT GOD REVEAL THAT TO HIM.
• 24:58 GOD REVEALS SUBTLE THINGS TO US.
• 25:00 GOD REVEALS TO A GREAT DEAL OF OUR AUDIENCE THAT THE JEWS NEED TO BE SAVED.
• 25:05 WELL, THE BIBLE REVEALS THAT TO THE WHOLE CHRISTIAN WORLD THAT
• 25:09 WILL READ IT BUT PAY LITTLE ATTENTION TO IT.
• 25:11 OUR AUDIENCE AT LEAST WILL PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM AS I
• 25:14 SAY AT THE END OF EVERY PROGRAM AND WILL PRAY FOR THE SALVATION
• 25:19 OF JEWISH FRIENDS.
• 25:20 BUT REALLY THE BIBLE SAYS, PRAY AND GO.
• 25:23 PRAY AND SHARE, PRAY AND WITNESS, DON'T JUST PRAY.
• 25:28 SOME PEOPLE ARE HARD TO WITNESS TO, I KNOW THAT.
• 25:30 AND JEWISH PEOPLE ARE CERTAINLY AMONG THOSE.
• 25:33 BUT YOU KNOW, I OFTEN SAY AT THIS END TIMES,
• 25:38 WHAT IT FEELS LIKE THE END TIMES, WHEN YOU WITNESS
• 25:41 TO A JEWISH PERSON AND YOU GET REJECTED, THAT'S NOT A PERMANENT REJECTION.
• 25:45 IF THE TRIBULATION PERIOD SHOULD START NEXT WEEK AND THAT SHOULD
• 25:48 SURPRISE NO BIBLE READER,
• 25:51 THAT JEWISH PERSON WILL VERY LIKELY TAKE YOUR WITNESS
• 25:54 MORE SERIOUSLY AND BECOME ONE OF THE 144,000.
• 25:58 SO YOU WILL HAVE CHOSEN A VERY IMPORTANT PERSON WHO WILL BEAR
• 26:01 MUCH FRUIT IN THE SEVEN YEARS TO COME IF YOU GET OUT AND SAY SOMETHING.
• 26:06 IF YOU CAN'T SAY ANYTHING ELSE, JUST SAY, "I WILL BE LEAVING."
• 26:09 AND THEN THE RAPTURE COMES BEFORE THE TRIBULATION PERIOD AND HE SEES YOU LEAVE,
• 26:14 HE WILL NOT BELIEVE THE DELUSION OF THE ANTICHRIST.
• 26:16 YOU WILL HAVE BEEN THERE FIRST WITH THE TRUTH.
• 26:20 YOU KNOW, "FAITH" IS MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE 247 TIMES.
• 26:24 I UNDERSTAND THE WORD "WORK" APPEARS 417 TIMES.
• 26:28 THEY ARE RELATED.
• 26:30 WITHOUT WORKS, FAITH IS DEAD.
• 26:33 THE BOOK OF JAMES SAYS WHICH SIMPLY MEANS THAT ONCE WE ARE
• 26:37 SAVED AND CAN UNDERSTAND THE WILL OF GOD,
• 26:39 THEN WE DO WORKS WITHIN HIS WILL OR OUR FAITH WILL NOT REPRODUCE.
• 26:42 IT IS AS IF DEAD, THE OUTSTANDING CHARACTERISTIC
• 26:46 OF SOMETHING DEAD IS THAT IT DOESN'T REPRODUCE.
• 26:48 WE WILL NOT SAVE SOULS UNLESS WE GET OUT THERE AND DO IT.
• 26:53 ABRAHAM AND SARA ARE OUR SUBJECT NEXT WEEK.
• 26:57 A VERY INTERESTING PROGRAM.
• 26:58 I HOPE YOU WILL TUNE IN TO IT.
• 27:00 WE ARE GOING THROUGH HEBREWS 11,
• 27:01 THE CHAMPIONS OF FAITH.
• 27:03 AND OUR MUSIC FOR THIS SERIES
