[00:00:02] Hey, New Life Gillette Church, we are thrilled you decided to listen to our teaching on your favorite podcast app. If you made a decision to follow Christ today, would you let us know by visiting? Yes. Newlife gillette.com here is this week's teaching.
[00:00:25] We are going to be in Luke chapter five. Luke Chapter five. We're continuing in our series that's entitled Called to Serve, where we are talking about the way we as believers use what we have. We use our gifts and our skills and our resources for God and for others. So while you're turning there, I want to say good morning to everybody on Church 307, all our friends over at the prison, wherever you're watching from, we're glad that you're here. And one more thing. Today is the first day to sign up for life groups. That means life groups are coming up real soon.
[00:00:59] Yeah. Not enough of you are excited about that. A couple of you are. Some of you should be more excited. I hope that you know this by now. We think every person at New Life, we think your next step is to join a life group. We think that's everybody's next step.
[00:01:14] One of the first things God said about a human being was it is not good for a human to be alone.
[00:01:21] So we are made to go through life together. We need community. We practice that through life groups. This is not a sermon about life groups. This is a mini sermon at the beginning of another sermon sermon. But it's about life groups. You should sign up for a life group. You can stop by the table on the way out and we will help you find the right one. If you're not sure what you're looking for, you can also go on the church's website and sign up for a life group right now. I mean, I would use your phone if you're signing up for a life group, use your phone during service. All right, go for it. All right, Luke chapter five. Let's jump in. We're going to start reading in verse 17.
[00:01:54] One day, Jesus was teaching and Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there. They had come from every village of Galilee and from Judea and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was with Jesus to heal the sick. Some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat and tried to take him into the house to lay him before Jesus. When they could not find a way to do this because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus. When Jesus saw their faith. He said, friend, your sins are forgiven. The Pharisees and the teachers of the law began thinking to themselves, who is this fellow who speaks blasphemy who can forgive sins but God alone? Jesus knew what they were thinking and asked, why are you thinking these things in your hearts? Which is easier to say your sins are forgiven, or to say, get up and walk. But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.
[00:02:50] So he said to the paralyzed man, I tell you, get up, take your mat, and go home. Immediately. He stood up in front of them, took what he had been lying on, and went home praising God. Everyone was amazed and gave praise to God. They were filled with awe and said, we have seen remarkable things today. Cards on the table. This is my favorite story in the whole Bible.
[00:03:11] Besides the death and resurrection of Jesus, this is my favorite story in the entire Bible. So I'm really excited to talk about it today. Before we jump in, let's pray.
[00:03:20] Jesus, you are good.
[00:03:23] You are faithful. You are the king of our hearts and the God of our city.
[00:03:27] You are the one who gave us the mission that we pursue, that we live our lives on.
[00:03:34] So this morning, Jesus, we ask that you would speak clearly that none of my opinions would make it through in this sermon. If there's anything that's just my ideas, my soapboxes, let us notice it and let it go.
[00:03:50] That's not what we're here for. If there's anything we talk about that's faithful to your word and consistent with your character, God, would you make it impossible to forget because we want to be like you? We're here for you, Jesus.
[00:04:03] Amen.
[00:04:06] When I was in college, I had a condition. It is both transferable and genetic. It is called being late for class all the time.
[00:04:17] I was late for every single class in college, pretty much. And if I get it honest, when my dad was in college, they called him the late Glenn Ward because he couldn't be on time for anything.
[00:04:27] But I was always walking into class, five minutes into class, right as the professor was saying, open up to this page. That's when I was getting there.
[00:04:36] And I came up with an idea. I realized it was a problem because I was missing attendance sheets and it was affecting my grades. And I'm like, all right, I got to start getting to class on time. So here's what I came up with. I realized it takes me too long to walk to class, so if I can get to class faster, then I'll be there on time. I didn't think I should go to bed earlier. I didn't think I should manage my time better. I didn't think anything like that. I thought I should just get to class faster. So you know what I did? Because I was also really good at making financial decisions. I spent $200 on a longboard that I could ride to class and I could get there faster. You know what a longboard is, Anybody? It's a skateboard, but it's longer. Yeah, that's what a longboard is.
[00:05:19] And it worked. This is the crazy thing. I stopped being late for class unless it was raining, if the sun was out, if it was good weather, I was late to. Or I was on time to class every single time. It fixed my problem. But the thing is, I've never been the type of person to leave well enough alone. So I decided that I wanted to be good at longboarding. So I started riding it around campus. And I thought I was so good, I went to college in Indiana. Longboards are designed to go down hills, to go fast down hills. I don't know if you've seen Indiana, but there's not one hill in the entire state of Indiana. So I thought I was so good, I was carving around campus. You know, I could fishtail. I could hang ten on the nose. I was riding by saying, sup, ladies? How you doing? You know, just like, thought I was the best.
[00:06:01] And, man, I thought I was so good at it that when my friends invited me to go to Missouri with them, which has a few more hills, not like here, but a few more hills, I grabbed my longboard, threw it in the trunk of the car, and went along.
[00:06:13] Now, the details of this story are very important.
[00:06:17] We got to Table Rock, Missouri, and we decided to go out on the lake. We couldn't get into the condo we were staying in, so we decided to go out, you know, on the lake and hang out.
[00:06:27] So we did swim trunks, T shirt, flip flops. You know, typical lake stuff.
[00:06:33] We come back after spending a couple hours on the lake, and the doors are still locked. We can't get into the condo. So you know what I decided to do?
[00:06:40] Grab my longboard from the trunk, rolled around the parking lot in swim trunks.
[00:06:47] A T shirt kicked off my flip flop, so I was barefoot. For the record, I didn't own a helmet.
[00:06:53] Didn't even have one in my possession, so of course, I wasn't going to wear one. Elbow pads? Nah, those are for the weak. I didn't use that type of thing. So I'm Rolling around this parking lot with my longboard. And I will never forget. I looked to my left and I saw a hill.
[00:07:09] I thought, that doesn't look that steep.
[00:07:12] So I picked up my longboard and ran to the top of the hill. I didn't tell my friends what I was going to do. I didn't say, please have 911 ready. Like, I didn't do any of that. I just went to the top of the hill. And the next thing I remember is standing at the top of the hill with my longboard in my hand, barefoot, swim trunks, no helmet, T shirt, thinking, man, it's a lot steeper than I thought, but I got to get down somehow. And the longboard is the fastest way.
[00:07:38] What's the worst that could happen, right? And now, look, I don't know how. I don't know how women make decisions when you're confronted with something like that, but every dude I know thinks about the same way. And we're like, oh, what's the worst that can happen? Which is not a bad way to make decisions if you think get through. But most dudes I know spend 10 seconds thinking about the worst possible outcomes, and if they don't come up with death, then you just do it anyway. And that's what I did. I was like, what's the worst that could happen? Can't be that bad. Dropped the longboard down onto the hill, jumped on it, and started rolling down the hill as fast as I could. Now, there are things you're supposed to know how to do to ride a longboard down a hill and not get seriously injured. I didn't know how to do any of those things, so I'm just riding down the hill. I get about halfway down. I don't know how fast I'm going. I think it's reasonable to assume maybe 20 miles an hour at this point based on how much speed you can get on these things. And I start getting speed wobble. Anybody know what speed wobble is?
[00:08:31] Yeah, I can't explain, like, the physics of it, but basically, you start going so fast that you can't hold your balance anymore, and you start wobbling back and forth. Now, the thing about a skateboard is that the way that you lean is the way the skateboard goes. So when you get speed wobble, the whole board starts moving back and forth. And I didn't know what to started praying and, like, pushing down with my legs as hard as I could, barefoot, gripping it with my toes like a bird on a power line, Just like, holding on as tight as I could. And somehow, by a miracle, the longboard stopped wobbling. And I thought, I'm so good at this.
[00:09:07] I'm the best.
[00:09:09] And I kept going. And about 10ft later, the speed wobble came back. And this time, it's worse. Once again, I did the exact same thing. I just pushed down as hard as I could and thought, I'm going to make it. And the speed wobble went away. Once again, I'm like, I should be a professional.
[00:09:24] This is so good.
[00:09:26] And I get to the bottom of the hill, probably going 30 or 35 miles an hour by this point.
[00:09:32] And I get to the point where I was going to have to curve to avoid hitting the concrete building.
[00:09:40] And I hit speed wobble again. And this time, it's not wobble. It's like slalom skiing. I'm just going back and forth and back and forth. And I realized something.
[00:09:49] And don't make fun of me for this. This is what I actually thought. I realized I'm going to fall, and I don't want to hit my head, so I'm going to jump off, and I'm just going to try to run as fast as I can and see if I can run out my momentum barefoot on a hill, going maybe 35 miles an hour. So that's what I did. I jumped off the longboard and was running. My friend said I looked so ridiculous because my body was so far in front of my feet trying to keep up with my momentum. And I had this moment that I will once again never, ever forget. You remember in old cartoons where Wile E. Coyote would fall off of a cliff and he would pause for a second, hold up a sign that says, yikes, right? I had a moment like that where everything slowed down, and I smiled to myself, and I thought, whatever's about to happen, I deserve it.
[00:10:46] So later on at the er, when the doctor realized why I had road rash on my back and my legs and my arms and my feet, he wasn't nearly as nice to me.
[00:11:01] Here's why I tell you that ridiculous decision.
[00:11:05] Because when we read the Bible, we tend to read the Bible like it's our science homework from eighth grade. We tend to read the Bible as if every decision was a calculated decision, where these were wise people making wise decisions, and it wasn't normal human beings doing normal human being things. But when I read this story, when I read this story of four guys who dropped their friend through a roof to Jesus, this reads to me like the longboarding story. This reads to me like A what's the worst that can happen? Type story. Like, can you imagine? Let me just ask you this. Do you know four male humans that if they came to you and picked you up and said, we're going somewhere, you would trust that everything was gonna be okay?
[00:11:48] Absolutely not. Nobody does. But can you imagine how this story went? If you're the guy on the mat, you can't walk, you're paralyzed, and you have four friends that come up to you and they're like, we're taking you to Jesus. Who's Jesus? I don't know who Jesus is. It's gonna be great. He's gonna heal you. No, put me down. Let's talk about this. What are you gonna do about it? We're gonna take you, and they just take you to Jesus. They take you across town. Finally you get to the house, and it's packed, it's full of people, and you think, goodness, please put me down. Let's talk about this. So they put you down. And then one friend has an idea. And we all have that one friend that hasn't had a good idea since sixth grade. And, you know, it was that friend that they're like, what are we going to do? And he's like, the roof.
[00:12:28] The roof is what we're going to do. And everyone else is like, you're right, the roof. And they take you up onto the roof of a stranger's home.
[00:12:36] Now, listen, in. In this time in history, roofs were often kind of patios, like they were set up for people to hang out on. They would have had stairs that would take you up to the top. They might have had tiles. But what you have to understand is this is a breaking and entering, all right? This is a felony. Okay? That's what's going on right here. They decide to either disassemble or dig a hole in a stranger's home to lower their friend, probably on ropes, through a hole to Jesus. This is, at minimum, vandalism. It's destruction of private property, Right? The cops are going to be called because of this decision that they made. This isn't a cold, cool, calculated decision of people who had a plan. This is a bunch of guys who. The only thing they knew was that their friend needed Jesus and they were going to do whatever it takes to get him there.
[00:13:28] Normal guys making normal decisions.
[00:13:34] The only thing they knew was they knew someone who needed Jesus and they were going to do whatever it takes to get him there. Can you imagine being in the room with Jesus, listening to him talk when stuff starts Falling from the ceiling. All of a sudden there's a human coming down.
[00:13:48] But you have to notice something. I want to read verse 20 to you again.
[00:13:55] When Jesus saw is their faith, he said, friend, your sins are forgiven.
[00:14:04] Whose faith?
[00:14:06] The four guys hanging down over a hole they just made in a stranger's home. The four guys who just committed a breaking and entering because their friend needed Jesus. He looked up and saw their faith and said, friend, your sins are forgiven.
[00:14:26] Did you know that your faith can change someone else's life?
[00:14:34] Did you know your faith, your allegiance to Jesus, your prayer, your action, your generosity, your service can change someone else's life? It absolutely can. That's why we say as followers of Jesus, we are called. If we want to become who we're created to be, then living our lives on mission is the baseline. These are the skills that we learn. These are the disciplines that we practice because our faith actually can change someone else's life. And when we look at the world around us and we see need, we have the ability to actually tangibly make a difference in that world through our faith in Jesus. That when we are willing to leverage our lives, our resources, our skills, our faith to the needs of the world around us, it actually can and will make a difference.
[00:15:37] Your faith can change someone else's life. It leads to this obvious question, though.
[00:15:41] The question is, if our faith can change someone else's life, and there are millions of Christians in the world, what gives?
[00:15:50] Why is there still so much pain?
[00:15:53] Why are there still so many lost people? There's this crazy statistic that is mathematically true. You can go back and you can do the calculations on your own.
[00:16:02] If.
[00:16:03] If every person on earth that claims to be a Christian, if all Christians decided this year, if all Christians decided in 2026 that we are going to lead one person to Jesus, just one, we're not going to be Billy Graham, right? We're going to lead one person to Jesus. We're going to invite them to church, you know, and then we're going to ask them to do the same thing, right next year. They're going to make the same commitment to lead someone to Jesus.
[00:16:28] The entire world would follow Jesus in six years.
[00:16:33] That's how long it would take. If every believer, every person who claims to follow Jesus on earth just led one person to Christ a year. It would take six years for us to reach the globe.
[00:16:44] Obviously, we haven't done it yet.
[00:16:47] If you dial that back, if you. If you take that number and dial it back to approximately the size of New life, you know, let's say a thousand adults, something like that. Then it takes like 25 years.
[00:17:02] Your faith can change someone else's life. Our faith can change someone else's life.
[00:17:09] For a lot of us, myself, absolutely 100% included, we don't do a lot of leveraging our faith to change other people's lives. And I think we have to ask the question.
[00:17:23] I think maybe there are three reasons why.
[00:17:26] Here's the first one.
[00:17:28] We don't notice the need. Anyone ever heard the phrase being nose blind before? Anyone ever heard that? A couple of us. Okay. Being nose blind is what happens when you have smelled a smell so long that you don't smell it anymore, but other people do.
[00:17:45] That's being nose blind, right? You've just. You smell it every day so you don't really notice anymore. Actually, being nose blind is one of my biggest fears in life. One of my biggest fears is that people talk to me and then they walk away and they're like, oh, gosh, that, like, people come over to my house. We have a cat. Actually, we don't have a cat. My wife and son have a cat, and I have a horrible roommate. That's the situation.
[00:18:06] But that means we've got a box of poop in our house. And that because of that, I worry all the time that people come over to our house and if they're going to come over for dinner, like, they tell other people, they're like, hey, just so you know, it smells really bad, like, and I just don't notice it. That's one of my biggest fears. Please promise that you'll tell me if I smell bad. Okay? Can we make that agreement? Like I want to know. All right. Don't let me go nose blind. You have to have my back here.
[00:18:28] Being nose blind is what happens when it becomes normal, though. It becomes normal to you. It might not be normal to everybody else, but it becomes normal to you and me. And we just don't notice the smell anymore.
[00:18:39] And that happens with the needs around us all the time.
[00:18:44] These guys had a friend that had been paralyzed for a long time.
[00:18:49] Pretty easy to quit noticing when it's normal.
[00:18:54] We live in a world where we see marriages fall apart all the time.
[00:18:59] It's easy to not even think of that as a need anymore.
[00:19:02] It's just life. Some work, some don't.
[00:19:06] We live in a world where we see people choose abortion all the time. It's easy to just think, well, what are you going to do?
[00:19:15] It's the world we live in. We live in a world where we know people who don't know Jesus have never heard the true gospel. They've heard stereotypes, they've heard clips from Instagram, but they've never actually heard anyone look at them and say, jesus loves you unconditionally and he died to give you new life. They don't actually know, but it's become. It's pretty normal to us to know that people around us just don't know the gospel. And to think, I mean, you know, it is what it is. That's life, right? To see depression, to see addiction, to see suicide. My wife and I worked as missionaries for a while, and we worked with youth who generally lived on the street. And there was a lot of addiction. And it was crazy how many times in the city that we worked in that we'd be sitting down talking to these young people, 18, 19, 20 years old, who are clearly dealing with addiction. They're clearly homeless, they clearly need help. And every person that walked by looked straight ahead because they saw these teens so many times that it just became part of the city. It was normal. We didn't notice the need anymore.
[00:20:20] And if we don't notice the need, we don't do anything about the need.
[00:20:28] I think another part of the reason is that we don't think anything will actually change.
[00:20:34] We just don't think it will.
[00:20:36] Because here's the thing. You and me both, we have had people promise they were never going to do it again and then do it again. Right?
[00:20:44] We've. We've had people swear this was going to be the last time, and it wasn't the last time, and it still isn't the last time. And now we're 15 years in, and they're still doing the same thing.
[00:20:53] The thing is, we've all done that too, though, right?
[00:20:57] Yeah. This is one of those we have to look in the mirror type things, because we also pretty much all promised we were going to change.
[00:21:03] I promise I'm not. I promise this is the last time. Promise I'm not going to do it again. I promise I'm not going to talk to you like that again. I promise. Next time I'm going to be at your soccer game, son.
[00:21:11] And then we don't. Right.
[00:21:15] And it's just easy that even if we notice the need, to just assume that that need is life and what's going to happen, like, what can we do about.
[00:21:29] Is what it is. Another way to say this, I think, is to say that we don't think we can be used to Change anything. We just don't think God will use us, right? Maybe we think things could theoretically change, but it can only change under special circumstances, with special people, with special gifting.
[00:21:50] We imagine that the Billy Grahams of the world, that, man, if we could get.
[00:21:54] If we could get somebody like that, if we could get a really big, like, famous speaker to come to our town and then we could, then our friends could hear the gospel, right? Then we could invite them along. But it needs to be right. We imagine that there are special people that have special gifting and they're the ones that God does change through and not us. I feel like this all the time because every pastor I know has a story of leading someone to Christ on an airplane. Like, every single one of them. And every sermon I hear, they're like, I was on an airplane and the Lord gave me a vision and this person was weeping and repenting of their sins. That's never happened to me, not even once. And every time I get on an airplane, I'm like, I guess I have to lead someone to Jesus. That's what pastors do on airplanes. And then the person sits down next to me and puts their headphones in and stares straight forward and I'm like, I guess it's not me. I guess I'm. Maybe I'm not called to be a pastor, you know, but we imagine it's going to be somebody. It's somebody else in special circumstances. That. That's what it has to be. Those people, they're the ones that God's going to use to change, and we just have to wait until the special circumstances come. But. But nothing about this story tells us that these weren't normal everyday guys making a kind of reckless, ridiculous decision.
[00:23:00] Normal guys who just saw a need and actually thought something might change. And the funny thing is, like. Like we don't know that they were. Sure there were people Jesus didn't heal, but they seem to have thought, well, if it might work, it's worth it.
[00:23:18] If it. I mean, if there's a chance it'll work, then it's worth it. Can you imagine if that was generally our perspective about the world? If that was generally my perspective about the world was, hey, I mean, it might work or it might not, but let's try it just to see, you know, if we had that kind of. If we had the kind of like, well, maybe Jesus will change everything and we should at least try it sort of perspective, right?
[00:23:45] Just normal, everyday people.
[00:23:47] You know, something I've come to believe over the Years. And it's that because we look at these, we look at these famous people, these highly influential people, these, you know, the Billy Grahams and the people with huge followings who are sharing the gospel, and we imagine that they're unique and, you know, uniquely called. And I've just come to believe over year, over the years, that when God calls one person to reach millions is because he has millions who don't reach one.
[00:24:12] The plan wasn't to have one person reach millions. The plan was to have millions reach one.
[00:24:17] God just won't leave his will unaccomplished. So he'll raise up one person when he needs to. But if God raises up one person to reach a whole big number, it's because there were a lot of people not reaching anybody, right? If, if all of us who follow Jesus led one person to Christ a year, we'd be done in six years.
[00:24:39] The game would be over.
[00:24:42] Here's the last thing.
[00:24:44] We just don't see who Jesus really is.
[00:24:48] Can you imagine how different this story would be? I mean, we can. It just wouldn't be in the book if these guys had heard about Jesus, but just thought.
[00:25:01] If Jesus was just normal, right?
[00:25:06] If they had quit, if they didn't see Jesus as a healer, but they just saw Jesus as a good teacher.
[00:25:13] I had a conversation this week with a good friend of mine from where I grew up, you know, and he's not a believer. And we were talking about Jesus.
[00:25:21] And yeah, he said something along the lines of, I just love the teachings of Jesus. You know, I just. I can't get down with the whole resurrection thing. Well, then I don't think you love the teachings of Jesus, my friend, because he taught that he was God.
[00:25:35] He taught that he was the only one that could change everything.
[00:25:39] Jesus isn't a moral teacher. C.S. lewis famously coined the argument that Jesus was either a liar, a lunatic, or Lord. He was either a psychopath who had a God delusion going around telling people he was God. He was either a liar who wanted to start a cult, or what he said was actually true and he actually was the way, the truth and the life. And no one could come to the Father except through him, and he's Lord, right? But he can't just be a good teacher.
[00:26:06] He can't just be good advice to follow to make our lives better.
[00:26:09] He either changes everything or he changes nothing.
[00:26:13] Do we see who Jesus really is? Do we come into worship saying, God, you are so good, you are so beautiful. The world has to know. They have to See you, Jesus.
[00:26:27] Do we pray as if God is actually listening? And he wants us to pray because he wants to answer every prayer that's in his will. And he wants to tune our hearts through prayer towards his will. And he wants us to ask him and. And to invite Him. He wants us to be for heaven on earth, for earth to be like heaven. He wants us to do that. Do we see Jesus like that? And if you've been here for, like, two months, you have probably noticed that, like, out of the last five sermons I've preached, four of them have ended with almost this exact same thing. And it's just because I've. I've tried really hard to write sermons that don't have the same ending, but I just keep coming back to the same conclusion that what every believer, what I need, what we need, what all of us need, is to see Jesus clearly, to fall in love with who he is, to see that he is the one who will actually meet the need. Because if I don't, if I see the need but don't see Jesus, the need go. Goes unmet, right? And if I want things to change but I don't see Jesus, then. Then it doesn't really matter what I want to change, because they're not going to change the right way, right? But. But if I see who Jesus really is, he will show me the need, right? Jesus will show me the need because he is near to the brokenhearted. Jesus will show me the need. And if I see Jesus clearly, He will convince everything will change because he will be changing my heart constantly, continually, over time, he'll be molding my heart to become closer and closer and more like Him. If I see him for who he really is. If I see Jesus, if I. If I see Jesus and I believe that there's actually there's just a chance that it's true, that there's a chance that he really does change everything, then I'm probably going to respond like those friends and do everything I can because my faith can change someone else's life.
[00:28:16] This is why we serve. This is why we have volunteers right now in our kids area, sharing the gospel with our kids. Because their faith can change someone's life.
[00:28:24] This is why we do Blessings in a Backpack. This is why Sawyer leads the Women's Resource Center. This is why we send the Ragsdales across the Pacific Ocean, right? This is why we plant churches in Casper and in Washington. This is why we do it. Because our faith can actually change someone else's life. And our faith is Motivated by seeing Jesus right. When we see Jesus for who he really is, we can't stand anyone not seeing him because we see that it changes everything.
[00:28:53] So here's how we're going to respond. We're going to take communion this morning. Because communion is the physical practice of seeing Jesus. It's this sacred moment that believers have practiced for two, 2,000 years now, where we with our bodies remember who Jesus really is, what his truth is, that he actually can and will change everything.
[00:29:22] We're going to take communion by intinction, as we often do, where one of our hosts will will hand you a piece of bread that represents the body of Christ and you will dip it in the juice that represents the blood of Christ and you'll consume both together.
[00:29:34] If you have a gluten allergy, we have a gluten free table to the, to my far right by the pray wall so that everyone can participate in communion this morning. The hosts can come forward. Now we'll take communion as we, as we sing.
[00:29:50] But we do this so that as a reminder of who Jesus actually is, so that we see clearly who he is and what he did. So that we remember with our minds and with our bodies who Jesus actually is.
[00:30:07] So as we prepare to take communion, on the night Christ was betrayed, he took bread and he broke it.
[00:30:16] After giving thanks, he said, this is my body broken for you every time you eat it, do so in remembrance of me.
[00:30:29] In the same way he took the cup, he said, this is the blood poured out for a new covenant for the salvation of many.
[00:30:42] Every time you drink, do so in remembrance of me.
[00:30:46] And then in First Corinthians, chapter 11, Paul reminds us that every time we take the bread, the cup, we proclaim the death of Jesus until He returns and makes everything right.
[00:31:00] Why? Because he is the one who can and will change everything.
