[2879.62 --> 2884.90] call you out, or when they don't come to you in comfort, or offer you the meal, or the |
[2884.90 --> 2895.30] help, because they're sinning, you're called like Jesus to take it and to help them anyways. |
[2895.88 --> 2896.04] Yeah. |
[2897.60 --> 2902.54] And it's unjust, but it's what he did, and so we have to. |
[2902.54 --> 2903.02] Yeah. |
[2903.56 --> 2904.04] Yeah. |
[2904.04 --> 2906.12] There's something about the cruciform life. |
[2906.58 --> 2906.90] Yeah. |
[2907.16 --> 2909.48] For the disciple in that. |
[2909.58 --> 2918.06] There's something about the nature of forgiveness as taking on the burdens of those things, right? |
[2918.10 --> 2926.76] There's something in there about trusting that when Jesus says to take up our cross and follow |
[2926.76 --> 2930.68] after him, he also says to take my yoke upon you. |
[2931.04 --> 2931.34] Mm-hmm. |
[2931.34 --> 2932.78] For my burden is easy and light. |
[2932.78 --> 2939.80] And so there's something about this like cruciform taking on and experiencing the rest of Jesus |
[2939.80 --> 2947.24] that is part of the mystery of the gospel and the mystery of living that gospel out together. |
[2947.88 --> 2951.78] And the church is not good because of what you get from it. |
[2952.00 --> 2952.40] Mm-hmm. |
[2952.40 --> 2957.64] It's good because he's there, which goes back to the prosperity point. |
[2957.70 --> 2957.82] Yeah. |
[2958.02 --> 2960.78] It's not because I experience the love. |
[2961.14 --> 2964.60] It's not because the people bless me with casseroles when I'm in pain. |
[2964.80 --> 2966.08] It's not because I get visited. |
[2966.08 --> 2970.80] It's not because they're nice to me, because then it would be those things that you go to church for. |
[2971.04 --> 2971.18] Yeah. |
[2971.86 --> 2972.84] That's so good, Josh. |
[2972.96 --> 2973.68] That's so good. |
[2973.68 --> 2985.02] I'm glad that we took that extra 30 seconds, 47 minutes into this podcast, because I think that just like perfectly summarized the entire conversation that we've had. |
[2985.14 --> 2985.30] Mm-hmm. |
[2985.46 --> 2986.60] Thank you for getting us there. |
[2986.78 --> 2987.18] It's him. |
[2987.66 --> 2987.98] Amen. |
[2988.52 --> 2988.88] Amen. |
[2989.46 --> 2989.82] Yeah. |
[2991.06 --> 2997.22] So part of the way that we continue to see God at work in our midst, continue to mediate his presence to each other, |
[2997.30 --> 3001.76] is through our ministry and mission here at Emanuel, and there's stuff going on here. |
[3001.76 --> 3005.46] So I wonder, Josh, what did you see as sort of a moment of mission? |
[3005.94 --> 3009.04] What did you participate in in this last week, or what are you looking forward to? |
[3009.38 --> 3009.74] What do you got? |
[3010.00 --> 3010.86] I'll do Kevin's as well. |
[3010.94 --> 3011.76] I didn't mention this before. |
[3011.78 --> 3011.96] Okay. |
[3011.96 --> 3016.14] We had 2020 for youth on Sunday, which was awesome. |
[3016.50 --> 3024.08] The first back to church 2020, starting the hard questions of faith, and we went, can you trust the Bible? |
[3024.28 --> 3024.62] Yeah. |
[3025.18 --> 3025.90] Which was good. |
[3025.92 --> 3027.34] And does the Bible contradict itself? |
[3027.34 --> 3029.42] And wrestling with that, which was good. |
[3030.80 --> 3034.42] No one's shaken by the conflict or the answer. |
[3034.66 --> 3035.82] It was good. |
[3036.14 --> 3036.24] Yeah. |
[3036.24 --> 3046.08] On my end, there's a group of young adults that I'm teaching the heresy that is Mormonism to, |
[3047.04 --> 3054.28] because we are starting some outreach stuff for the Mormon community in Langley, |
[3054.40 --> 3060.20] because we are one of the few cities in the world that has a temple, which is bad. |
[3060.20 --> 3065.60] And most Mormon missionaries and most Mormons are young adults. |
[3065.80 --> 3065.92] Yeah. |
[3065.92 --> 3072.38] And so we're taking this opportunity to hopefully win some people back to Christ. |
[3072.52 --> 3072.76] Amen. |
[3073.02 --> 3073.30] So. |
[3074.02 --> 3078.84] And so you got a small group of people studying Mormonism and Mormon apologetics. |
[3079.10 --> 3079.44] Yes. |
[3079.92 --> 3083.86] And how to respond as Christians and engage them in the beauty that is the true gospel. |
[3084.10 --> 3084.34] Yeah. |
[3084.54 --> 3084.76] Yeah. |
[3084.76 --> 3085.50] That's pretty awesome. |
[3085.88 --> 3086.12] Yeah. |
[3086.32 --> 3087.96] We've mentioned that before on the podcast. |
[3087.96 --> 3093.06] So if you're looking for things to pray for, I mean, pray for Josh and this group of people, |
[3093.26 --> 3095.58] especially as they engage in these kinds of conversations. |
[3096.10 --> 3096.32] For sure. |
[3097.76 --> 3098.90] I mentioned earlier. |
[3099.12 --> 3099.30] Yeah. |
[3100.98 --> 3106.00] My moment in mission this past week, again, there's lots of stuff going on, but one that |
[3106.00 --> 3111.78] stands out for me, we hosted a worship conference here on Saturday. |
[3111.78 --> 3119.88] And so we had Stacey Gletti-Smith and Phil Vanderveen come and speak to our worship leaders and volunteers, |
[3119.88 --> 3123.20] as well as a bunch of others from other churches that we invited. |
[3123.28 --> 3126.58] And we had 40-odd people here for that. |
[3126.72 --> 3134.12] And it was just a great afternoon of encouragement and of, I hope, really just pouring into the tank |
[3134.12 --> 3137.86] of our worship leaders, especially the volunteers in our church. |
[3138.02 --> 3140.04] It's volunteer run in many other churches. |
[3140.28 --> 3144.08] If there's one staff person, maybe, but there's lots of other volunteers. |
[3144.30 --> 3150.26] And so just an opportunity to really pour into them and to encourage them in the work that they do for the church |
[3150.26 --> 3154.44] and serving the church and leading us in our worship, entering into the presence of God. |
[3154.44 --> 3158.02] And that was a great, great day together. |
[3158.86 --> 3160.78] And so I'm mindful. |
[3160.92 --> 3162.50] I'm going to shout her out here. |
[3163.10 --> 3168.40] Jackie did a lot of the legwork with Sarah and Robin to pull this together. |
[3168.98 --> 3169.10] Yeah. |
[3169.44 --> 3174.16] And I'm really grateful for them as well in seeing that come the way it did. |
[3174.82 --> 3176.56] And then Faye and Dolores in the kitchen. |
[3176.76 --> 3177.78] Oh, you guys killed it again. |
[3178.12 --> 3178.84] You guys are just great. |
[3179.10 --> 3179.82] They're just the best. |
[3179.96 --> 3180.26] They are. |
[3180.26 --> 3185.82] And I actually ended up taking a whole bunch of leftovers home and then had some people over after church on Sunday |
[3185.82 --> 3187.26] and fed them with the leftovers. |
[3187.42 --> 3188.40] So, you know, God is good. |
[3188.46 --> 3189.38] He just keeps on providing. |
[3189.74 --> 3190.14] Absolutely. |
[3190.58 --> 3190.70] So. |
