Caption transcript for The Lobstermen: “And you will receive power!” (3/10)

• 00:42 Caleb Colson: Acts 1:8, "But you shall receive power when the
• 00:45 Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me
• 00:49 in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of
• 00:53 the earth."
• 00:59 Joshua Colson: Beautiful.
• 01:00 Caleb: What does this remind you of, guys?
• 01:02 Joshua: Ooh, uh, the Pope?
• 01:03 No. No, not him.
• 01:04 Israel Hanna: You got a fire above your head.
• 01:06 Joshua: Is it cloven?
• 01:07 Mike Ferland: It is. Definitely cloven.
• 01:10 You may feel more powerful.
• 01:12 Joshua: Does it rhyme with Ruach ha-Kodesh?
• 01:14 Israel: The Ruach ha-Kodesh.
• 01:15 Caleb: Look at this, guys.
• 01:17 I've always equated the filling of the Holy Spirit, the baptism
• 01:20 of the Holy Spirit, with salvation part dos because after
• 01:25 you receive Yeshua in your heart, you need that extra
• 01:27 special something, which is the filling of the Holy Spirit.
• 01:31 You know, and Acts 2:3-4 says, "And tongues like fire spreading
• 01:35 out appeared to them and settled on each one of them.
• 01:38 They were all filled with the Ruach ha-Kodesh and began
• 01:41 speaking in other tongues as the Ruach enabled them to speak."
• 01:45 So, guys, Yeshua didn't want to send his disciples out into the
• 01:49 world until they were empowered.
• 01:51 This is a very important step of salvation.
• 01:56 Ryan Economy: I think what's really awesome about the Holy
• 01:58 Spirit is that he works with all of us.
• 02:00 He works with our families, and he spreads like a tree with--
• 02:03 the roots just goes everywhere.
• 02:05 And within all of us, he's always spreading.
• 02:08 And Romans 8:14,
• 02:10 "For all those led by God's Spirit are God's sons."
• 02:13 Joshua: I mean, that's so much the purpose of what we talked
• 02:15 about last week--being one man instead of having these
• 02:17 segregated units.
• 02:19 "I'm a Jew," "I'm a Gentile," "I'm this."
• 02:20 Because we'd have that propensity, right?
• 02:22 We'd have the propensity to go on our own tangents, and instead
• 02:25 of being unified in one purpose like you said, we're throwing
• 02:27 mountains at each other 'cause we feel like that's our calling
• 02:29 in the moment.
• 02:30 But the thing is that even though we have this unified
• 02:33 calling and gift, we have individual gifts.
• 02:36 I, not the theologian that my brother is, believe that there
• 02:39 are some gifts that are better than other gifts.
• 02:41 Ryan: I don't know about that.
• 02:42 Joshua: I think there's something better than--and I
• 02:44 think that the best way to get to the bottom of this so
• 02:46 that we're, you know, not confused on our pecking order
• 02:48 here is to have a test, some kind of, I don't know, game or
• 02:52 system that we can perform to see whose
• 02:54 spiritual gifts are the best.
• 02:56 Caleb: This is not leading anywhere good for all of us.
• 02:59 Like, Jews versus Gentiles has never lead anything--
• 03:02 Joshua: Well, only for like the history of mankind.
• 03:05 But, in this group, I think we can fix everything.
• 03:07 What about something like chubby bunnies?
• 03:09 We shove as much food in our mouth as we can, whoever doesn't
• 03:11 suffocate--no?
• 03:13 Okay, any other ideas?
• 03:14 Mike: A race.
• 03:15 Joshua: Dude, I don't do cardio. Mike: He's pretty fast.
• 03:17 Joshua: That's why I don't do cardio.
• 03:19 Unless I get to drive a car, we're not doing a race.
• 03:20 There's gotta be something better.
• 03:22 Caleb: Games, competitions, manly feats of strength.
• 03:25 That's what you like, lifting heavy objects.
• 03:27 I propose that we have a competition called
• 03:31 The Highland Games.
• 03:32 Joshua: The Highland Games?
• 03:34 The Highland Games, really?
• 03:35 It's only the most competitive series of manly epic sports
• 03:39 events that take place in Scotland every year that only
• 03:42 the manliest of men can compete in for the right to be men.
• 03:51 Joshua: The ultimate test is today.
• 03:54 What man has been waiting for for generations--who will be
• 03:57 the most dominant man, Jew or Gentile?
• 04:02 This will be proven through various feats of strength, and
• 04:05 the winners, that's right, they have the other team build
• 04:08 pyramids for 400 plus years, and then they'll get led out
• 04:10 of the--
• 04:11 Caleb: I thought we were one new man, so Jew versus Gentile
• 04:14 doesn't matter anymore, right?
• 04:15 Mike: Yeah, I mean, we've been talking a lot about one new
• 04:20 man, one.
• 04:22 Joshua: That's for God. Mike: Okay, gotcha.
• 04:24 Joshua: This is for men.
• 04:26 We are not cool like him.
• 04:27 We can repent after this for our judgmental ways.
• 04:29 This is to see bragging rights amongst our people, for our
• 04:33 people, by our people.
• 04:36 And the first today is the pumpkin toss, the manliest of
• 04:41 competitions I could possibly think of.
• 04:42 Caleb: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
• 04:44 I thought you throw stones.
• 04:46 Joshua: We only have pumpkins.
• 04:47 They don't have any stones for sale.
• 04:50 Caleb: Pumpkins are totally manly, guys.
• 04:52 Joshua: So we're gonna throw pumpkins.
• 04:54 Whoever's goes the furthest is the winner.
• 04:56 Caleb: Oh, I like that.
• 04:58 Joshua: Whoever gets CareFlighted loses for the
• 05:00 whole team.
• 05:02 Looking at you.
• 05:04 Mike: I like our chances.
• 05:05 Joshua: Okay, we're gonna have to call somebody in, an
• 05:09 impartial person, to choose our gourds for us.
• 05:12 Caleb: Dara!
• 05:13 Joshua: We have a very important task for you.
• 05:16 Give each contestant the proper gourd.
• 05:19 You get to choose which one they have to compete with.
• 05:24 It's okay, the only way you win this is having strong ankles.
• 05:27 Caleb: Oh, man!
• 05:28 Ryan: I don't think my cankles can hold up.
• 05:31 Dara Economy: Okay, turn around and see the pumpkin I
• 05:34 have chosen.
• 05:37 Yeah!
• 05:39 Ryan: That's my wife!
• 05:41 That's my wife!
• 05:42 Dara: Let the games begin.
• 05:44 Caleb: Color of the gourd. Israel: A running start.
• 05:49 Dara: Whoa!
• 05:53 all: Whoo!
• 05:54 Israel: Ah, no!
• 05:56 Ryan: Dude, that was amazing.
• 05:59 Caleb: All right, guys, before I throw, you have to listen to a
• 06:02 little Bible story about the Day of Pentecost, Shavuot.
• 06:06 On that day, the Ruach ha-Kodesh, the Holy Spirit, was
• 06:09 poured out for all mankind.
• 06:10 This was prophesied previously by Yohanan, John the Baptizer,
• 06:15 Yeshua's cousin.
• 06:16 In Matthew 3:11, he said, "I indeed baptize you with water,
• 06:20 but someone's coming after me who I'm not worthy enough to
• 06:23 unlatch his sandals.
• 06:25 He's gonna baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire."
• 06:28 And then Yeshua also prophesied too in Acts 1:5.
• 06:31 He said that they're--"You're gonna be baptized with the Holy
• 06:34 Spirit not many days from now."
• 06:36 So the important thing is--
• 06:38 Mike: The important thing is we're gonna throw
• 06:39 pumpkins, right?
• 06:41 Joshua: And I'm sorry for that time I lied.
• 06:45 And for coveting my neighbor's beard.
• 06:49 And for all the unspokens that I said that I spoke later.

• 06:58 In Jesus's name.
• 07:02 Israel: Not bad.
• 07:04 Joshua: That's good, it counts on the roll for the Jews.
• 07:05 Mike: Watch it roll! Watch it roll!
• 07:07 Still not as far as ours was.
• 07:10 Joshua: [grunting] Ooh.
• 07:12 Israel: Stepped over the line!
• 07:15 Ryan: He cheated, he heated.
• 07:16 Israel: Disqualified.
• 07:18 Caleb: And you were so close.
• 07:21 Mike: So do we just get the trophy now?
• 07:23 Joshua: So in the kingdom of God, the last shall be first and
• 07:25 first shall be last, so we've won by being the last place
• 07:28 right here.
• 07:29 Dara: Welcome to the next event.
• 07:31 It is the caber toss.
• 07:35 Israel: We have to lift that thing?
• 07:36 Dara: Oh, yeah. Israel: Oh, my goodness.

• 08:01 Israel: New record!
• 08:03 Nice toss.
• 08:05 [all cheering]
• 08:06 Joshua: Yes!
• 08:08 Caleb: That is it!
• 08:09 Israel: Oh, no!
• 08:11 Joshua: Pretty good for an octogenarian.
• 08:14 All right, come on, brother. You can do it.
• 08:16 Oh, there it is.
• 08:18 Caleb: You know, guys, I'm starting to think this baptism
• 08:21 by fire is so very important for us as believers, not just to
• 08:26 survive the enemy's attacks, but to thrive.
• 08:29 You know, I have a very personal story linked to this back when I
• 08:32 was 18 years old.
• 08:33 You know, doctors thought I had a brain tumor.
• 08:35 I had headaches. I had migraines.
• 08:37 I was light sensitive. I was sick as a dog.
• 08:40 And one chapel service--this is in a little Southern Baptist
• 08:43 Christian school--everybody was--there was no anointing, no
• 08:48 power in worship.
• 08:49 Not like you, Joshua, when you sing and the presence of God
• 08:52 is there.
• 08:53 And I just decided, you know, "I'm not healed.
• 08:56 I don't feel good.
• 08:58 I'm just gonna focus on getting close to
• 09:00 God and knowing his heart."
• 09:02 And I raised my hands, I praised the Lord, and then suddenly,
• 09:06 with 350 kids watching me and thinking that I was weirded out
• 09:10 for worshiping God, I--the fire from God hit me in my head, and
• 09:15 I was baptized in the Holy Spirit.
• 09:17 I saw literal fire on my hands go through my body, and all I
• 09:21 could do was praise and worship God and pray in the Spirit for
• 09:24 three hours.
• 09:25 After that moment, I was healed supernaturally.
• 09:28 I never had a problem ever again.
• 09:31 And that's why Yeshua wants us all to be baptized with that
• 09:34 fire, to be equipped with his gifts of the Holy Spirit so that
• 09:38 we can overcome and have his authority on this earth.
• 09:43 And--
• 09:44 Mike: And can we get to throwin' the caber?
• 09:48 I still have a record line right here.
• 09:51 That was a great teaching, but let's throw the caber.
• 09:55 Caleb: This is what happens when you pour your heart out.
• 09:57 Caleb: All right, all right, I got this.
• 10:02 Joshua: Do it, brother.
• 10:06 Yes! All right.
• 10:09 Yeah, I'll call you brother in public now, okay.
• 10:15 Ryan: All right, the Sasquatch himself.
• 10:17 Caleb: You can do it! Mike: You can do it, Josh.
• 10:19 Ryan: Need a hand with that, Josh?

• 10:40 You pointed to Ryan, it's me.
• 10:42 Dara: Congratulations.
• 10:46 Welcome to the third game.
• 10:48 We are racing today.
• 10:50 It is currently 1-1 for the Gentiles and the Jews.

• 11:30 anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay
• 11:33 hands on the sick; and they will recover."
• 11:37 Caleb: The fire of God through the Holy Spirit was always meant
• 11:40 to refine us.
• 11:42 You can read this throughout scripture.

• 12:08 This is not just to empower people and give them power,
• 12:13 authority, to do the miracles Yeshua promised but to keep them
• 12:16 from backsliding and being ensnared again by sin.
• 12:19 That's why you're meant to be filled with the Holy Spirit fire
• 12:23 daily till overflowing.
• 12:25 It isn't just a one-time event, it's a daily discipline, a daily
• 12:29 gift received by faith.

• 13:12 Dara: Sixth place!
• 13:13 I've seen better.
• 13:18 All right, welcome to game four.
• 13:21 We are playing tug of war, and the object of this game is we
• 13:25 are going to make sure that you get the orange marker of the
• 13:29 other team on your side of the sword.
• 13:33 All right, is everybody ready to go?
• 13:35 Joshua: We are.
• 13:37 Dara: All right, on your mark, get set, go!
• 13:45 Caleb: The gifts of the Holy Spirit are limitless in power,
• 13:48 just like we can receive.
• 13:50 I mean, it's poured out for all of us.
• 13:54 You know, even if you may not be a prophet, you can still
• 13:58 prophesy through the Holy Spirit.
• 13:59 That may not be your calling, but you can still do it.
• 14:03 And so the important thing to realize is these gifts are
• 14:07 supposed to be working in unity with one another.
• 14:11 And 1 Corinthians 12 outlines
• 14:14 these gifts of the Holy Spirit.
• 14:16 Joshua Aaron: All right, let's do this.
• 14:18 Caleb: Heave!
• 14:20 Dara: Oh, no. Oh, no!
• 14:24 Jews for the win!
• 14:29 Israel: That was no fair.
• 14:31 Caleb: Booyah!
• 14:34 Mike: All right, guys, listen, we lost that one, okay?
• 14:38 We did.
• 14:39 But part of being an integral man, right, is--and part of
• 14:43 being a man of God is being able to overcome defeat, right?
• 14:48 Because just because you lose, whether it be fair or unfair,
• 14:54 you know, it--we have to be able to overcome that, right?
• 14:57 Because God calls us to be overcomers, right?
• 15:01 He's gonna give strength to us.
• 15:03 What's the Holy Spirit for?
• 15:04 Not for fear.
• 15:05 We're not afraid, right?
• 15:07 We're not afraid.
• 15:09 I mean, sure, they have a Goliath, but we have Israel on
• 15:13 our side.
• 15:15 Israel: You know, it certainly helps to be a good loser because
• 15:18 I lost a lot of battles, but God is always with us, and he brings
• 15:22 us back and in the end gives us victory.
• 15:24 And it's beautiful when it happens.
• 15:26 Mike: We lost the battle, but we're gonna win the war.
• 15:29 That's exactly what's gonna happen.
• 15:30 Joshua: And, you know, in the spirit of the message today, I
• 15:33 love you, losers.
• 15:35 Mike: We love you too.
• 15:37 Yeah, come on, let's hug it out.
• 15:38 Hug it out, hug it out, hug it out.
• 15:40 Mike: Great job. Ryan: What a great sermon there.

• 15:49 Joshua Aaron: What is the game gonna be for sudden death?
• 15:51 Now I'm curious because I don't know what this next one is
• 15:53 gonna be.
• 15:54 Caleb: I have selected the sudden death standoff, okay?
• 15:57 In the Highland Games, you have a musical standoff, typically
• 16:01 with bagpipes.
• 16:03 Joshua Aaron is our representative.
• 16:07 Just wait till I--you guys see what I have in mind.
• 16:10 Dara: And welcome!
• 16:11 This is sudden death because we are tied 2-2!
• 16:16 First, representing from each team.
• 16:17 We have Josh representing the Jews!
• 16:20 Joshua: Yeah, you know it, brother!
• 16:22 Dara: We have Israel representing the Gentiles!
• 16:26 All right, and the best performance is gonna win, so

• 18:26 Joshua: --morning, we are the BBB.
• 18:28 We are the Bearded Bible Bonanza, the most root-and-toot
• 18:32 and yippee ki-yay, ride 'em cowboy thing that you've ever
• 18:35 seen in the most wild, wild west.
• 18:37 Caleb: That's right, join our honkin', tonkin',
• 18:40 root-and-tootin' subscription site at
• 18:42 patreon.com/BeardedBibleBonanza, where you can take part in
• 18:46 spreading the gospel of Yeshua--
• 18:48 Joshua: Jesús.
• 18:49 Caleb: To the entire world. Joshua: Woo!
• 18:52 Israel: There is a time and place where that still small
• 18:54 voice during the peaceful times is nice to be heard.
• 18:58 But I'm afraid that this world of ours and we are headed into
• 19:02 some very difficult war-like times.
• 19:05 There's war all across the face of this earth.
• 19:07 Caleb: Even in Israel, isn't it?
• 19:09 Israel: Yes, especially in Israel right now.
• 19:12 So being an ex-military combat army infantry sergeant, I know
• 19:16 that you need the proper weapons.
• 19:17 A good weapon is a good--is something that's essential, you
• 19:21 know, to fight the enemy.
• 19:23 So it's--I'm always interested in the fact that you have water
• 19:26 baptism, which is essential and a good thing to have, but it's
• 19:33 done by man.
• 19:34 It's a commandment--it is a commandment of God, but it's
• 19:37 literally done by man, okay?
• 19:39 And it symbolizes giving ourselves over to God, and--
• 19:43 Caleb: The dead man's left behind under the water,
• 19:45 and the new man--
• 19:46 Israel: Rises up, okay, so, you know, that's--but now you have
• 19:49 the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
• 19:51 Now, when the baptism of the Holy Spirit came upon me, he
• 19:54 said, "I will fill you with--" Jesus says, "I will fill you
• 19:56 with fire with--and power, and you shall receive the power of
• 20:01 the Holy Spirit."
• 20:03 You know, I equate that to like all of a sudden somebody handing
• 20:05 me an AK-47.
• 20:07 It's powerful and--compared to, you know, maybe, if you want to
• 20:12 use this analogy, a squirt gun.
• 20:15 Because, you know, the--when I receive the power of the Holy
• 20:20 Spirit, it just helps me overcome the enemy, even when I
• 20:24 don't know when to pray.
• 20:26 I can pray directly to God through the power of his Holy
• 20:29 Spirit and communicate with the King of kings and Lord of lords.
• 20:32 There's a verse that I think most Christians overlook.
• 20:37 "He who prays in an unknown tongue builds himself up and
• 20:42 edifies himself," edifies himself.
• 20:45 So we edify ourselves.
• 20:47 You know, that prayer is to build us up or edify us and
• 20:50 encourage us in times of difficulty and war.
• 20:54 And various--the apostle Paul
• 20:56 says, you know, "You gotta
• 20:57 realize that I pray in tongues more than all of you put
• 21:00 together," because he was in so much warfare
• 21:03 constantly his whole entire life.
• 21:06 And I think it's very important for all of us, including our
• 21:09 listeners, to seek--not only seek the baptism of the Holy
• 21:13 Spirit, but be filled with the Holy Spirit.
• 21:15 Mike: This is Cadillac Mountain.
• 21:18 It is just over 1,500 feet high.
• 21:21 It is the tallest mountain on the--what's on the
• 21:24 eastern seaboard.
• 21:25 I mean, there are--Mount Washington is taller, but
• 21:27 it's inland.
• 21:29 And it is the first place in the United States where you get to
• 21:32 see the sunrise.
• 21:34 Joshua: So if you're not first, you're last, and if you're not
• 21:37 on Cadillac Mountain, the rest of the United States is last.
• 21:40 Mike: That is correct. Caleb: Very cool mountain.
• 21:41 Joshua: This mountain is really cool.
• 21:43 It really reminds me of one of my favorite stories in
• 21:46 the Bible.
• 21:47 Elijah has a cool story.
• 21:48 Man, prophets had it rough back then.
• 21:50 Elijah, you know, he goes out there and has a showdown with
• 21:53 Jezebel and Ahab, right?
• 21:55 Who's gonna be the real God?
• 21:56 He's gonna answer by fire.
• 21:57 You know how the story ends?
• 21:59 The real God answers by fire.
• 22:01 And then--well, then Jezebel, being what she is, doesn't like
• 22:04 that too much and calls for his head.
• 22:06 This is the craziest thing to me that people have always said
• 22:09 that I've heard in my life, and I'm sure for generations people
• 22:12 have said this: "If God would only answer with a sign, then
• 22:14 I'd believe in him," right?
• 22:15 "If he would just answer like this.
• 22:16 If he'd give me a Corvette, then I would believe in him.
• 22:18 If he would call down fire from heaven, I'd believe in him."
• 22:20 But God had just called down fire from heaven in front of the
• 22:23 entire land, and the second that Elijah hears that Jezebel's
• 22:27 calling for his head, he runs and hides and says,
• 22:30 "God, kill me, I'm no better than my fathers."
• 22:32 But he does.
• 22:34 He eats it, and he goes on this journey 40 days and nights up
• 22:36 the same mountain that Moses got the Ten Commandments from.
• 22:39 It's so crazy how God likes to talk in that mountain, I think.
• 22:43 So he goes up to the top.
• 22:45 He's got this conversation with God about how he did everything
• 22:48 right and Israel did everything wrong and it's not fair, and
• 22:50 he's kind of throwing a tantrum, you know?
• 22:51 And he says, "Go out there on the--go on the top of
• 22:53 the mountain."
• 22:55 Elijah goes out there, and crazy wind comes, right?
• 22:59 Whoosh! God wasn't in it, right?
• 23:02 Earthquake shakes the mountain.
• 23:04 Elijah's looking, God isn't in it.
• 23:06 Fire hits the mountain, and God's not in it.
• 23:08 But in that moment, he kneels down, and he pulls his cloak
• 23:10 over his eyes, and it says that the Holy Spirit, God, spoke to
• 23:13 him in a still small voice.
• 23:14 It's the first time that that phrase is used in the Bible.
• 23:19 And what's the first thing God thought it was important to tell
• 23:21 Elijah in this time of his hurting?
• 23:23 He said, "You are not alone."
• 23:27 He thought he was alone.
• 23:28 He says, "You're not alone, there's 7,000 that I've reserved
• 23:30 that have not turned to Baal, that are focused on me,"
• 23:34 because that's what Elijah was saying.
• 23:35 Like, "How am I the only one in Israel?"
• 23:37 "You're not alone. Get up and go do it.
• 23:39 Do what I told you to do."
• 23:41 And I get up in this mountain in front of--the entire world
• 23:44 behind me, it feels like.
• 23:46 And you look at this perspective, and it feels like
• 23:48 there's nothing between you and God.
• 23:50 But no matter whether you're here, you're in your room at
• 23:53 home, you're at your job, you're on a stage somewhere in another
• 23:55 country...I don't know if you do it like this,
• 23:57 but I think you probably do.
• 23:58 Caleb: I've never seen him do it like that.
• 24:00 Joshua: He does some things, I believe that.
• 24:02 But God is just as close to you in those moments.
• 24:04 And most of the time, the only thing separating yourself from
• 24:07 God is yourself.
• 24:09 Don't we often want to know-- "I can't hear God's voice.
• 24:10 I can't hear God's voice."
• 24:12 He's speaking to us in that small voice, and yet we don't
• 24:14 give permission to stop the world around us for a minute and
• 24:16 just listen to it.
• 24:18 Joshua: Zechariah 10:1, "Ask the Lord for rain in the time of the
• 24:21 latter rain.
• 24:23 The Lord will make flashing clouds; He will give them
• 24:25 showers of rain.
• 24:26 Grass in the fields for everyone."
• 24:29 Caleb: That was a fun and exciting day, but the night
• 24:33 isn't over yet, gentlemen.
• 24:35 Joshua Aaron: That's right.
• 24:36 Caleb: Very important scripture, Joel 2:23.
• 24:38 I just thought it would be time to bring it up.
• 24:40 He says, "Be glad then, you children of Zion, And rejoice in
• 24:44 the Lord your God; For He has given you the former rain
• 24:46 faithfully, And He will cause the rain to come down for you--
• 24:50 The former rain, And the latter rain in the first month."
• 24:54 You know, we're really living in the latter rain.
• 24:56 The former reign was that Day of Pentecost, Shavuot, that first
• 24:59 outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
• 25:01 And that went on for some time, but then there was like this
• 25:04 dead zone for like 2,000 years.
• 25:05 And now we're living in that final moment before Yeshua
• 25:10 returns, and his outpouring of the Holy Spirit, I believe, is
• 25:13 gonna be greater than the former one.
• 25:16 Israel: You got a song for us?
• 25:18 Joshua Aaron: Yeah, I wanna sing this song.
• 25:19 It's called "The Spirit and the Bride."
• 25:21 At the end of the book, it says, you know--the book of the
• 25:24 Revelation of John, "Even so, come quickly, Lord Jesus."
• 25:28 You know, we're talking about, you know, that the stage in the
• 25:31 history of the world we're in.
• 25:33 Jesus said, "In this world, you will have trouble.
• 25:35 But take heart, take courage.
• 25:36 I have overcome the world."
• 25:37 So our hope is his return, and the devil wants to confuse our
• 25:41 people, especially in America and Israel.
• 25:43 The devil's trying to make sure Israel isn't established and
• 25:46 that--isn't welcoming Messiah back, which is a prerequisite
• 25:50 for Messiah to come.
• 25:51 But we say, even so, come quickly, Lord Jesus.

• 28:07 female: We're gonna teach you guys how to be a lumberjack.
• 28:09 And you know that--you know, we have a saying around here,
• 28:11 "Never trust a man without a beard."
• 28:13 Mike: Oh, yeah!
• 28:17 Most churches are not mobile at all, and unfortunately, that's
• 28:21 what's happening in a lot of churches today, is they expect
• 28:25 people to come to them when Jesus called us to
• 28:28 go out into the world.
