1
00:00:01,820 --> 00:00:06,520
Great God, I pray that you open our

2
00:00:06,520 --> 00:00:09,920
hearts and minds and peel back the curtains

3
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:15,440
on eternity today and show us that solitary

4
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:19,780
figure with the eyes of a vast crowd

5
00:00:19,780 --> 00:00:23,520
upon him as he stands before the judge

6
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,420
of all the earth and the books are

7
00:00:26,420 --> 00:00:30,440
opened and men are judged according to the

8
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:34,300
things written in the books whether good or

9
00:00:34,300 --> 00:00:38,540
bad show us the vanity of a life

10
00:00:38,540 --> 00:00:43,200
lived selfishly in a world that's just a

11
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:47,400
wrecked vessel smashed on the rocks and slowly

12
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:48,060
sinking.

13
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:54,940
I pray, Heavenly Father, for you to attend

14
00:00:54,940 --> 00:00:58,780
the preaching of your gospel with your pungent

15
00:00:58,780 --> 00:01:02,800
presence by your spirit and that you will

16
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:08,480
come and disturb folks have mercy on some

17
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:13,280
sinner here and show them a revealed Christ

18
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,680
let them see a bleeding and dying Christ

19
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,080
on that bloody cross at Calvary.

20
00:01:22,060 --> 00:01:25,520
I pray these things in the strong name

21
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:26,740
of Jesus.

22
00:01:27,340 --> 00:01:28,340
Amen.

23
00:01:30,740 --> 00:01:35,320
My Bible says that sin is a wasting

24
00:01:35,320 --> 00:01:36,220
thing.

25
00:01:37,060 --> 00:01:41,840
Sin may have a temporary allure but in

26
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,100
the end it will bring you but a

27
00:01:45,100 --> 00:01:50,080
profitless harvest of grief and regret for they

28
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,780
have sown the wind and they shall reap

29
00:01:53,780 --> 00:01:58,120
the whirlwind and we are warned by the

30
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:04,060
apostle Paul in Galatians be not deceived God

31
00:02:04,060 --> 00:02:08,940
is not mocked for whatsoever a man soweth

32
00:02:08,940 --> 00:02:13,080
that shall he also reap you go and

33
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,400
live a life of sin and you will

34
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:21,660
reap the consequences for sure the devil likes

35
00:02:21,660 --> 00:02:25,980
to wrap sin in pretty packages with colorful

36
00:02:25,980 --> 00:02:30,680
bows but once it's opened and indulged in

37
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,800
will leave just the empty wrappings of bitter

38
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:39,940
tears of guilt and regret a man lives

39
00:02:39,940 --> 00:02:44,220
in a busy world a chaotic world and

40
00:02:44,220 --> 00:02:48,840
a busy life all his energies go to

41
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,640
his work or career path as he tries

42
00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:55,980
to accumulate as much of the world as

43
00:02:55,980 --> 00:02:59,540
he can but this is just a empty

44
00:02:59,540 --> 00:03:03,400
bubble that will one day pop for a

45
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:08,000
man's energies are consumed on the wrong things

46
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,700
in life as he makes his way in

47
00:03:10,700 --> 00:03:15,840
the world most men live a hollow drifting

48
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:20,880
life with mundane ambitions giving an ounce of

49
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,880
service to his fellow man but making no

50
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:30,820
real sacrifice most live a life utterly selfish

51
00:03:30,820 --> 00:03:35,560
and self-absorbed living for the moment and

52
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,300
tasting the pleasures of life as they briefly

53
00:03:39,300 --> 00:03:44,400
appear here and there man is in a

54
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:49,580
solitary boat gliding feebly down the stream of

55
00:03:49,580 --> 00:03:53,520
time as the world flashes by and his

56
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,060
ears are filled with the sound of the

57
00:03:57,060 --> 00:04:02,800
inevitable roaring cataract of death to one day

58
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:07,600
leave this world for another world my bible

59
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:13,640
declares and it is appointed unto men once

60
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,800
to die but after this the judgment one

61
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,560
day man will have to stand before the

62
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,060
judge of all the world and give an

63
00:04:24,060 --> 00:04:26,860
account of himself we see this to be

64
00:04:26,860 --> 00:04:30,960
the case from this vivid scene spoken of

65
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,900
in the book of revelation and i saw

66
00:04:34,900 --> 00:04:38,560
a great white throne and him that sat

67
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,400
on it from whose face the earth and

68
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,840
the heaven fled away and there was found

69
00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:49,020
no place for them and i saw the

70
00:04:49,020 --> 00:04:53,820
dead small and great stand before god and

71
00:04:53,820 --> 00:04:57,280
the books were opened and another book was

72
00:04:57,280 --> 00:05:01,240
opened which is the book of life and

73
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,380
the dead were judged out of those things

74
00:05:04,380 --> 00:05:07,340
which were written in the books according to

75
00:05:07,340 --> 00:05:13,400
their works there stands a solitary figure with

76
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,060
the eyes of a vast crowd upon him

77
00:05:16,060 --> 00:05:21,240
from all generations through the ages there stands

78
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,980
before that pure white throne and that sovereign

79
00:05:24,980 --> 00:05:28,800
judge a man a man with his life

80
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:33,560
laid bare and exposed beneath the glaring spotlight

81
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:39,040
of eternity as that judge reviews that person's

82
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:44,100
life with his intense scrutiny and behind him

83
00:05:44,100 --> 00:05:47,540
is the red hot glow of a lake

84
00:05:47,540 --> 00:05:52,600
of fire and death and hell were cast

85
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,680
into the lake of fire this is the

86
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:01,700
second death and whosoever was not found written

87
00:06:01,700 --> 00:06:05,160
in the book of life was cast into

88
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:10,520
the lake of fire there the secrets of

89
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:15,620
his innermost heart are analyzed by that judge

90
00:06:15,620 --> 00:06:19,760
who has eyes of fire a careless life

91
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,780
spent on perishing things that won't hold up

92
00:06:23,780 --> 00:06:28,240
for a skinny minute in eternity but that

93
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:32,480
judge has the scars of nail prints in

94
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:36,300
his hands from a time when he walked

95
00:06:36,300 --> 00:06:42,120
the earth doing good jesus healed the sick

96
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,640
and gave sight to the blind he fed

97
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,140
the hungry and gave rest to the weary

98
00:06:49,140 --> 00:06:53,100
he even raised the dead to life yet

99
00:06:53,100 --> 00:06:57,740
what happened men cried away with him and

100
00:06:57,740 --> 00:07:00,880
nailed him to a cross they put a

101
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,840
crown of thorns upon his head and crucified

102
00:07:04,840 --> 00:07:09,120
him on a hill called calvary there he

103
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,020
hung nailed to that cross with his arms

104
00:07:13,020 --> 00:07:18,100
outstretched wrestling there under the weight of sin

105
00:07:18,100 --> 00:07:21,640
look at that man on the cross see

106
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:26,440
him there bleeding and dying savior for sin

107
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:31,760
herein is love not that we love god

108
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,280
but that he loved us and sent his

109
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:40,220
son to be the propitiation for our sins

110
00:07:40,220 --> 00:07:43,580
he cared enough for me to hang there

111
00:07:43,580 --> 00:07:48,240
naked and bleeding on my behalf he loved

112
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:52,560
me and gave himself for me come friend

113
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,660
to the feet of this crucified savior and

114
00:07:56,660 --> 00:08:00,280
look at the bleeding hands and see his

115
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:04,580
dim die as his strength is failing in

116

the blink of an eye you may be

117
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:12,200
his nestling in his arms and resting on

118
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,680
his grace with your burden of sin and

119
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:21,060
selfishness resting at his nail pierced feet hear

120
00:08:21,060 --> 00:08:25,480

121
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,260
any man thirst let him come unto me

122
00:08:29,260 --> 00:08:33,740
and drink he that believeth on me as
