00:00:06,700 --> 00:00:09,839
Welcome to this week's crowd church service.

2
00:00:09,985 --> 00:00:16,925
We are a digital church on a quest to discover how Jesus helps us live a more meaningful life.

3
00:00:17,305 --> 00:00:18,305
We are a community.

4
00:00:18,247 --> 00:00:23,606
A space to explore the Christian faith and a place where you can contribute and grow.

5
00:00:24,267 --> 00:00:36,726
Our service will last about an hour And in a few seconds we will start with the time of worship after which you will meet our hosts for our service Who will introduce today's talk?

00:00:37,407 --> 00:00:46,846
After the talk we head into Conversation Street where we look at your stories and questions that you've posted in the comments throughout the livestream.

7
00:00:47,766 --> 00:00:55,331
I want to invite you to connect with us here at crowd church and there are a few ways that you can do just that.

8
00:00:55,771 --> 00:01:00,871
Firstly, you can engage with crowd from any device during our live stream.

9
00:01:00,807 --> 00:01:07,107
And if you're up for it, why not invite a few friends over and experience the service together?

10
00:01:07,707 --> 00:01:10,146
You see, church is all about connecting with God.

11
00:01:10,157 --> 00:01:12,737
And connecting with others.

12
00:01:12,917 --> 00:01:19,016
And one of the easiest ways for you to do that is to also join one of our mid -week groups.

00:03:10,159 --> 00:03:10,598
Welcome, Dan.

52
00:03:11,199 --> 00:03:12,379
In fact, I can do this.

53
00:03:12,739 --> 00:03:16,418
I can say I just want to check, make sure this is working.

54
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:17,739
So Dan, you'll be my guinea pig.

55
00:03:17,879 --> 00:03:18,239
There we go.

56
00:03:18,479 --> 00:03:18,838
Evening.

57
00:03:19,159 --> 00:03:19,839
It's working.

58
00:03:20,079 --> 00:03:20,179
What?

59
00:03:21,019 --> 00:03:21,458
Evening, Dan.

60
00:03:22,134 --> 00:03:22,734
How are we doing?

61
00:03:22,914 --> 00:03:26,653
Hope you've all got your cup of tea because you know the the clock's gone back an hour, isn't it?

62
00:03:26,814 --> 00:03:32,042
So it's it's one of those Did you notice the clock had gone back?

63
00:03:32,462 --> 00:03:33,381
No, I didn't.

64
00:03:33,502 --> 00:03:37,182
I was at church this morning and someone mentioned the clock and I was like, oh, was It's it?

65
00:03:37,544 --> 00:03:48,159
possible because I've been you know the whole smartphone thing did it all for me it did apart from the cooker yeah which kind Mae 'n gwasuŵn er bitna wedi gwahan Animationrall.

66
00:03:48,199 --> 00:03:49,319
A hardeny.

67
00:03:54,459 --> 00:03:55,239
I've it and change it.

68
00:03:55,359 --> 00:03:56,858
Yeah, which is normally what happens.

69
00:03:57,299 --> 00:04:02,218
I normally change it like a month before it needs to be changed back But at least I'm consistent.

70
00:04:02,779 --> 00:04:04,680
So anyway Hey, what's going on, Stavec?

71
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:11,079
We've got a talk by Dave Connelly, Pastor Dave, who is continuing in our series in apps.

72
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:11,800
Yeah.

73
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,780
After that, we are going to be talking about the talk and picking up on any of your comments.

74
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:23,979
So if you've got thoughts on what he's saying or you can relate to certain bits, just throw that in and we will talk about that.

75
00:04:24,820 --> 00:04:26,140
I think that's it, isn't it?

76
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:26,800
That's all good.

77
00:04:27,140 --> 00:04:27,500
That's all good.

78
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:28,520
Now, it sounds great.

79
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,620
It was about to, like, think, like, symbol.

80
00:04:31,465 --> 00:04:57,031
No, don't let me stop you don't let me interrupt that would be wrong on so many levels so every week a techish year and The the other thing that's going on this week Matt just to highlight we do have occasional tech issues here on the crowd is the camera this front camera here It is zoomed in and I don't normally we've got a bit more space and so today we have enough I feel like I need to do this just to stay in shot so that's That's it why the top of my head is missing.

81
00:04:57,311 --> 00:04:58,870
It's not because of bad camera framing.

82
00:04:59,311 --> 00:05:01,951
Just not figured out the whole why it zoomed in thing.

83
00:05:02,451 --> 00:05:03,936
I just I genuinely I have no idea.

84
00:05:05,376 --> 00:05:06,575
Just wanted to do what it's going to do.

85
00:05:06,876 --> 00:05:07,836
So it is what it is.

86
00:05:08,756 --> 00:05:11,096
So yes, right, should we play Dave's talk?

87
00:05:11,616 --> 00:05:12,056
Let's do it.

88
00:05:12,348 --> 00:05:24,414
Let's play Dave's talk and then share and I will be back for conversation street as Dave's talking It's quite a short talk stay and what was it eight minutes eight and nine minutes something like that so we can have a a bit more of a conversation street.

89
00:05:24,774 --> 00:05:31,993
So do you get ready with your thoughts in your comments and throw them in on the YouTube and then Sharon and I'll be back shortly.

90
00:05:32,294 --> 00:05:34,878
So So let me press this button here, we'll see in a second.

91
00:05:37,259 --> 00:05:40,158
Today we're going to be looking at Acts chapter 18.

92
00:05:40,748 --> 00:05:42,888
versus 1 to 28th.

93
00:05:43,528 --> 00:05:49,051
And I'd like just to encourage you to take the time to read these verses This is true for yourself.

94
00:05:49,951 --> 00:05:54,070
I only have a sure time to reference part of the story today.

95
00:05:56,058 --> 00:05:59,178
Paul is winding down his second missionary journey.

96
00:06:00,138 --> 00:06:03,458
He establishes a great way in the city of Corinth.

97
00:06:04,638 --> 00:06:13,217
The right Instead of the Bucho Bax's look, and in chapter 18 he shares with some very personal experiences of Paul.

98
00:06:13,054 --> 00:06:18,574
from which we can relate, and learn, and take some real compass.

99
00:06:19,834 --> 00:06:26,615
A view of a Becom this the scourage while you're trying to save God, or even just trying to live the Christian life.

100
00:06:27,835 --> 00:06:29,512
That can be It's off in itself.

101
00:06:30,312 --> 00:06:32,792
We even get discouraged at times.

102
00:06:33,492 --> 00:06:36,111
We all have our struggles regardless of who we are.

103
00:06:37,013 --> 00:06:42,953
And here we read the greater possible Paul, even he had struggles.

104
00:06:44,254 --> 00:06:45,034
Paul must more have slightly been a great man.

105
00:06:45,305 --> 00:06:57,803
encountered the negative attitude of people, criticism and the lack of appreciation, the feeling of of being unproductive and just playing an old exhaustion and weariness.

106
00:06:58,924 --> 00:07:06,624
These were likely some of i the wedi sì Pinterest i fel unallu rh ис eithan会au siors adde imişimau.

107
00:07:08,183 --> 00:07:17,829
but when they resisted and blasphemed, he shook his robe and told them, you will Blood be is on your own heads.

108
00:07:18,310 --> 00:07:19,250
I am innocent.

109
00:07:19,990 --> 00:07:22,610
From now on, I will go to the Gentiles.

110
00:07:24,398 --> 00:07:31,757
Like a reception in Athens, Causes Paul to travel 55 miles from Athens to Corinth.

111
00:07:33,018 --> 00:07:41,506
Here He observes idolatry and the continued hostility from the Jews is on people.

112
00:07:42,477 --> 00:07:47,976
Paul clearly became discouraged as he began his way here in Corinth.

113
00:07:48,987 --> 00:07:52,167
Observe the verses in 9 through to 17.

114
00:07:53,407 --> 00:07:55,306
How's your deal with this encouragement?

115
00:07:57,103 --> 00:07:59,122
Go and do some retail therapy.

116
00:07:59,923 --> 00:08:01,362
Do you like to get alone?

117
00:08:01,963 --> 00:08:03,003
Do you like to go and eat?

118
00:08:03,603 --> 00:08:04,843
Do you like to go side us?

119
00:08:05,078 --> 00:08:07,678
and pray, or go aside and hide.

120
00:08:08,818 --> 00:08:11,157
How do you deal with your times of this encouragement?

121
00:08:13,258 --> 00:08:19,398
Luke If it does not hide Paul's discouragement from us, he lays it out there for us all to see.

122
00:08:20,398 --> 00:08:28,095
But Luke also So it takes great care to allow us to see that God recognise Paul's discouragements.

123
00:08:28,909 --> 00:08:32,089
God intervenes with Paul.

124
00:08:33,089 --> 00:08:36,149
We read in verses 9 to 10 this.

125
00:08:36,829 --> 00:08:39,934
One night The Lord spoke to Paul in a vision.

126
00:08:40,814 --> 00:08:41,773
Do not be afraid.

127
00:08:42,674 --> 00:08:43,534
Keep on speaking.

128
00:08:44,434 --> 00:08:45,494
Do not be silent.

129
00:08:46,077 --> 00:08:54,849
For I am with you and no one is going to attack you or harm you because I have many people in that city.

130
00:08:56,770 --> 00:09:08,860
If you read back a few verses you will see the I pause this couragements as come, even after God has moved and people have received Christ of their Savior.

131
00:09:11,764 --> 00:09:14,063
One more could pull possibly as for.

132
00:09:14,824 --> 00:09:18,124
God promised good Christian friends for him.

133
00:09:19,562 --> 00:09:32,678
encourages him to continue and is calling and assures him that God himself will control what is is happening around him and watch over him that God himself would keep him safe.

134
00:09:35,098 --> 00:09:41,584
The Lord administering to pull through that vision was attend their moments for that weary apostle.

135
00:09:42,704 --> 00:09:44,734
It was exactly a what he needed.

136
00:09:46,155 --> 00:09:53,184
Paul was afraid and sent it not to speak in the light of conflict the around him.

137
00:09:54,104 --> 00:10:01,428
Paul needed some fresh encouragement and a fresh encounter with i 'r i 'r i 'r i 'r i 'r i 'r i 'r i 'r i 'r i 'r i 'r i 'r i 'r i 'r i pea.

138
00:10:03,088 --> 00:10:29,014
What Paul received was a deeper love to replace be say great fear, a gift of courage to replace caution and abide in presence in alarming a circumstances, and unlimited help against ultimate hurts, afraid of from loneliness and fellowship with Christ, I know the believers.

139
00:10:31,214 --> 00:10:36,951
Paul needs Did a fresh encounter with the love and passion of Jesus?

140
00:10:37,992 --> 00:10:40,132
And that's exactly what he received.

141
00:10:42,652 --> 00:10:51,494
In Mass At the age of 28, verse 20, Jesus promised His disciples, He would always be with them, and He was.

142
00:10:51,435 --> 00:10:53,675
making the same promise to Paul.

143
00:10:55,155 --> 00:10:59,155
In these verses there are many lessons for each of us to We learn.

144
00:10:59,544 --> 00:11:10,484
need to recognise that none of us are immune from this coragement, this Scourgement coragement, can come in the midst of great success.

145
00:11:11,404 --> 00:11:20,774
We need to be honest about confessing this God encouragement for the God always has his eyes on our circumstances.

146
00:11:22,295 --> 00:11:29,921
He is Withers regardless of our circumstance, he will not place more honours than we can stand.

147
00:11:31,021 --> 00:11:33,940
often uses other people to strengthen us.

148
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:39,636
He commands us to continue the good work he is doing through us.

149
00:11:41,017 --> 00:11:46,557
He will wear through others to make the way for us to do his work.

150
00:11:48,886 --> 00:12:01,816
As we will see in the remainder of this chapter, on the remainder Drowvax, of the chapter, poor receives the needed passion and power from God and he continues.

151
00:12:01,753 --> 00:12:05,052
in that calling that God has placed on him.

152
00:12:06,933 --> 00:12:17,358
Paul continues to talk to the Jews to the Gentiles, unexperiences many successes as he continues in his ministry.

153
00:12:19,607 --> 00:12:26,907
O st发 fefan � Selbst р Wesdiad ,edd nhwalg sacred всемcyd enn i gyfresu a gwahk yw i gwblent af r raphbeth yddi fefan Cypwo.

154
00:12:29,354 --> 00:12:32,974
we can see that Paul is right back on track.

155
00:12:34,234 --> 00:12:47,127
If you're feeling disappointed, the disliked, solutioned, fearful, isolated, the same God who strengthened poor, It's once just granting you.

156
00:12:48,087 --> 00:12:52,506
Will you take a moment right now to invite him into your situation?

157
00:12:53,767 --> 00:12:54,767
Cry out to for me.

158
00:12:54,872 --> 00:13:05,461
him and allow him to speak words of strength, words of peace and mercy, words It's like we're strengthening you.

159
00:13:07,421 --> 00:13:13,629
The phrase saying God, who met with Paul, longs to meet with you, even Even now.

160
00:13:14,209 --> 00:13:15,429
God bless you.

161
00:13:19,409 --> 00:13:20,669
Sorry, Welcome welcome.

162
00:13:20,831 --> 00:13:21,211
back.

163
00:13:21,951 --> 00:13:24,970
Welcome back to the studio where we're going to do conversation street.

164
00:13:25,371 --> 00:13:39,436
If you are watching live for some reason YouTube is struggling a little minute With some I know a few people are struggling with both from looking at the comments I don't know why that is I have to be honest with you because I know that the signal going up Is bleeding quick?

165
00:13:39,917 --> 00:13:41,197
I think is the technical definition.

166
00:13:41,277 --> 00:13:41,536
Okay.

167
00:13:42,864 --> 00:13:44,384
So hopefully YouTube will some of those out.

168
00:13:44,484 --> 00:13:45,583
Well we're just going to keep chatting anyway.

169
00:13:45,944 --> 00:13:46,903
Because you know why would we not?

170
00:13:47,964 --> 00:13:50,506
So yeah, let's Let's crack on.

171
00:13:50,967 --> 00:13:57,167
So, Dave started with a question which was have you ever become discouraged while trying to serve the world?

172
00:13:57,487 --> 00:13:58,547
So, I'm going to throw that one in.

173
00:13:59,967 --> 00:14:02,366
Have I ever become discouraged whilst trying to serve God?

174
00:14:02,767 --> 00:14:03,526
No, I never.

175
00:14:04,947 --> 00:14:05,827
Don't believe it.

176
00:14:07,274 --> 00:14:08,834
You got that cheeky look on you.

177
00:14:08,835 --> 00:14:19,831
Yeah, I think it's probably fair to say that just about everybody has probably been discouraged by trying to surf god on me and It's one of Those those things, isn't it discouragement?

178
00:14:20,871 --> 00:14:25,391
You normally get discouraged when things don't happen the way you think they're going to happen.

179
00:14:25,631 --> 00:14:25,791
Yeah.

180
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,600
There's some kind of unmet expectation.

181
00:14:29,700 --> 00:14:31,219
And whatever that is.

182
00:14:31,940 --> 00:14:36,924
And so I think when you serve, when you're serving God and you feel sort of discouraged.

183
00:14:37,945 --> 00:14:51,063
It's one of those where you're discouraged because it kind of feels da, y bye byd yr twyan eu wedi deith beth oes â proud deith yw ma 단�ad i fywförr i du weld fel cael thactlya ?ill ni weld da?

186
00:14:57,235 --> 00:14:57,595
Are you on the spot?

187
00:14:58,055 --> 00:14:58,895
Yeah, no, it's fine.

188
00:14:59,634 --> 00:15:00,995
Have you thought about this?

189
00:15:01,535 --> 00:15:02,375
A little bit, yeah.

190
00:15:02,575 --> 00:15:05,134
Okay, well you tell your answer and then it gives me a chance to think.

191
00:15:05,435 --> 00:15:06,035

really can and you just don't know, you don't always know how to deal with that.

200
00:16:33,173 --> 00:16:35,532
And I think especially when it comes to Christian things.

201
00:16:35,933 --> 00:16:46,400
One of The the things things that I've been doing, that I as bizarrely as discouraged me as odd as this sounds, especially, you know, I'm hearing what I'm about saying in my head.

202
00:16:47,650 --> 00:16:52,831
But one of the things that has discouraged me in the past is when I've read Christian biographies.

203
00:16:53,151 --> 00:16:54,771
Yeah, I know where this is going.

204
00:16:55,666 --> 00:17:05,406
So you read the stories of people in, not just in the Bible, but you read 21st century people's stories, don't you?

205
00:17:07,151 --> 00:17:14,850
even maybe not maybe 20th century so people like Smith Wigglesworth or John G Lake and you read their stories and these are our guys.

206
00:17:14,687 --> 00:17:18,826
where the miraculous just sort of seemed to follow them wherever they go.

207
00:17:19,207 --> 00:17:19,886
It's just incredible.

208
00:17:20,047 --> 00:17:22,387
Some of the stuff that's come out of them is just incredible.

209
00:17:23,407 --> 00:17:54,000
And you read them and you go, So yeah, but I've I'm I've still got this flu Jermino or whatever it is and I think sometimes times I've read Christian books like that and whenever people write Christian books I get what they're trying to do they're trying to be encouraging and by trying to be encouraging the only other talk about the high points and of course like Life is 99 % boring and very unhelpful.

210
00:17:55,121 --> 00:18:02,780
And so it's one of those things where I think when I compare my life with what's written in those stories you can get a little bit discouraged.

211
00:18:03,281 --> 00:18:03,841
Does that make sense?

212
00:18:04,141 --> 00:18:04,741
Yeah, totally.

213
00:18:05,021 --> 00:18:08,500
I think I've been in the same situation where you've kind of got these two things going on.

214
00:18:08,941 --> 00:18:16,221
On the one hand, it is encouraging to hear of like God doing stuff and it's just kind of going, yeah, that's amazing.

215
00:18:17,001 --> 00:18:22,320
But on the other hand, it's like you say, it's like, but why is all this not happening in my life?

216
00:18:22,701 --> 00:18:35,441
But then actually sometimes when I'm like recounting stuff from the past in my life before, we met and since and you kind of do that potted version, you can kind of go, yeah, and God did this and God did that.

217
00:18:35,761 --> 00:18:43,920
But actually because those like amazing times can sometimes be quite far apart, yeah.

218
00:18:45,461 --> 00:18:46,380
Not sure what I'm going with that.

219
00:18:48,700 --> 00:18:50,101
Yeah, it's funny isn't it?

220
00:18:50,321 --> 00:18:59,560
So I think what is funnily enough, one of the things that I suppose to encourage is can often discourage is in the wrong context.

221
00:19:01,093 --> 00:19:04,973
Felly mwybeth l 돼요 enwedd o werah i 'r Werah.

Mi 'n conti gw sharing racespectை gwnau o euBUQ.

224
00:19:14,806 --> 00:19:21,225
that can actually be discouraging to that person you're sharing it to because that's maybe not what they want to hear right then and there.

225
00:19:21,606 --> 00:19:24,125
So there's that sensitivity aspect, isn't it?

226
00:19:24,246 --> 00:19:28,466
So the thing that is designed to encourage can discourage if we're not careful.

227
00:19:28,906 --> 00:19:31,345
And that's the tension I think we face in all of this, isn't it?

228
00:19:31,386 --> 00:19:32,806
Yeah, you need wisdom, don't you?

229
00:19:32,946 --> 00:19:34,165
And situations like that.

230
00:19:35,426 --> 00:19:35,745
You do.

231
00:19:35,866 --> 00:19:41,466
I think for Paul, though, I don't think he was reading Christian books at the time.

232
00:19:41,466 --> 00:19:44,185
I don't think it was, I don't think that was his issue that was causing him to get discouraged.

233
00:19:45,366 --> 00:19:47,326
I think he just, it was just hot.

234
00:19:47,178 --> 00:19:52,717
I'd work trying to do what God had called him to do and I think that's what was discouraging him.

235
00:19:53,158 --> 00:19:53,177
Yeah.

236
00:19:53,598 --> 00:19:57,037
And I think that's another form of discouragement, isn't it?

237
00:19:57,278 --> 00:19:58,858
It's not...

238
00:19:59,801 --> 00:20:09,281
his, his, his, the Apostle Paul get indiscouraged and he wrote things like we are crushed but we are not perplexed but we are not broken and do you know what I mean?

239
00:20:09,321 --> 00:20:35,728
That's that kind of, we've got 2011ó칵 Suf Gethys Shprodugrus to sgisulio Wr meinenbl goch ast yn Galgu Felly na 'r huwb March eraith gr Cyd dependent fo i awda 'r Shpru a rhac llw i�u 'r ל RhymdGrти Felly â chydael goch Dialog ff upwards It's definitely gone through more than what we have gone through.

240
00:20:36,229 --> 00:20:38,568
That's well, so I've shown a lot of gone through.

241
00:20:39,229 --> 00:20:48,375
Um, but Even he in the midst of that, even of despairing, even of life itself, finding life, just like, why am I here?

242
00:20:48,516 --> 00:20:49,855
God, will you please take me?

243
00:20:50,236 --> 00:20:52,835
Now, you know, those kind of prayers, I don't want to be around anymore.

244
00:20:54,556 --> 00:20:56,248
That's That's where Paul find himself.

245
00:20:58,168 --> 00:21:03,368
And yet in the midst of that God still had a plan and he's still used him.

246
00:21:03,468 --> 00:21:05,088
And I think Paul this wrote it.

247
00:21:05,147 --> 00:21:06,647
really interesting phrase didn't he?

248
00:21:07,387 --> 00:21:14,394
I'll quote the King James because I really like the King James version which is the Old old -fashioned Bible translation if you don't know.

249
00:21:14,935 --> 00:21:17,575
The King James version says, I'm a betwixt.

250
00:21:17,815 --> 00:21:20,094
Now I'm betwixt between two things.

251
00:21:20,935 --> 00:21:22,335
Betwixt I think is such a good word.

252
00:21:22,595 --> 00:21:24,054
I think we should bring it back and use it more.

253
00:21:24,175 --> 00:21:24,615
You do that.

254
00:21:24,755 --> 00:21:24,994
I and know.

255
00:21:25,035 --> 00:21:26,555
be tweaked between two things.

256
00:21:27,535 --> 00:21:32,815
A desire to go, which frankly is better for me, and the desire to stay.

257
00:21:32,682 --> 00:21:34,322
which is frankly better for you.

258
00:21:35,162 --> 00:21:36,362
So I'm going to stay.

259
00:21:37,202 --> 00:21:49,142
And I think Paul, in the midst of all of this, realized that God had a plan and that was to not necessarily bless him but to bless other people through him to bring God's kingdom through his life.

260
00:21:49,482 --> 00:21:53,974
And that, At, whilst it sounds great and we talk about the call of God, don't we?

261
00:21:54,034 --> 00:22:01,173
And following God's plans and purposes can actually be a hard road and it actually can be full of discouragement just because you're doing what God's told you to do.

262
00:22:01,594 --> 00:22:06,494
Doesn't mean the birds are going to sing, the sun shines going to be brilliant and you're going to feel on top of the world all the time.

263
00:22:06,954 --> 00:22:06,954
Yeah.

264
00:22:07,794 --> 00:22:11,254
Dave asked another question which was how do you deal with discouragement?

265
00:22:11,754 --> 00:22:13,113
So I'm going to fling that your way as well.

266
00:22:15,046 --> 00:22:16,865
You've got all the questions first tonight.

267
00:22:17,046 --> 00:22:20,266
I mean, before we do that, I'm not denying you a question.

268
00:22:20,346 --> 00:22:21,545
I'm just going to check over here.

269
00:22:22,365 --> 00:22:24,505
Um, I'll for the comments.

270
00:22:24,725 --> 00:22:26,105
Yeah, I'm just kind of going through this.

271
00:22:26,305 --> 00:22:29,805
Uh, I think people are still struggling with the buffering now buffering again.

272
00:22:30,345 --> 00:22:31,765
Uh, where are we up to on this?

273
00:22:32,845 --> 00:22:35,585
Yeah, we're a little bit behind not quite sure what's going on.

276
00:22:46,411 --> 00:22:48,111
I can't actually read them from here.

277
00:22:48,251 --> 00:22:49,591
I need to hear.

278
00:22:49,891 --> 00:22:50,851
Do you want to borrow these?

279
00:22:51,671 --> 00:22:52,911
Sorry about the buffering guys.

Fato There's some o roam?

282
00:23:03,568 --> 00:23:07,867
foremost for me you encourage yourself in God.

283
00:23:10,327 --> 00:23:15,447
Now, sounds very high -falutin in a lot of ways, doesn't it?

284
00:23:15,468 --> 00:23:17,247
Like, how do you encourage yourself in God?

285
00:23:18,288 --> 00:23:20,687
I mean, we could talk about that for hours, I suppose, in a lot of ways.

286
00:23:22,348 --> 00:23:28,081
But, Fundamentally, I think you do certain things, right?

287
00:23:29,041 --> 00:23:31,061
And you make yourself do them.

288
00:23:31,941 --> 00:23:36,221
Things like I still pray, I still read my Bible, I still journal.

289
00:23:37,175 --> 00:23:40,574
out my heart to God in terms of how I'm feeling because God can deal with that.

290
00:23:40,975 --> 00:23:52,174
I don't deny it and I keep going knowing that actually just because I'm feeling discouraged doesn't mean that life is bad if that makes sense.

291
00:23:52,355 --> 00:24:10,601
So I think you go back to what's basic and you do that well and you keep going with that and you encourage yourself in God and I think for But fundamentally that's going back to that place where you can hear God, where God comminister to you.

292
00:24:11,282 --> 00:24:13,162
And not necessarily where God's That soul is.

293
00:24:13,143 --> 00:24:13,582
solves everything.

294
00:24:14,523 --> 00:24:20,303
But where you come away with a sort of renewed hope that God is with me in this.

295
00:24:20,623 --> 00:24:29,823
Yeah, but I guess that's a point with this that God is encouraging Paul, but that doesn't actually change his outside or his external situation.

296
00:24:30,163 --> 00:24:31,682
He's still in the same situation.

297
00:24:31,943 --> 00:24:40,382
But what it does do is it strengthens him on the inside and just helps, I think, possibly help shift his perspective on the situation.

298
00:24:40,923 --> 00:24:43,382
And I think that's sometimes what that encouragement does.

299
00:24:44,823 --> 00:24:47,482
When I heard Dave's talk, I listened to it earlier as well.

300
00:24:47,623 --> 00:24:49,362
I'm like, he's nicknamed my talk for a few weeks.

301
00:24:50,367 --> 00:24:50,987
Yeah, Dave.

302
00:24:51,348 --> 00:24:53,127
Just telling me in the car on the way down.

303
00:24:53,128 --> 00:24:55,348
I was going to be like, do I talk about that now?

304
00:24:56,328 --> 00:24:57,468
Yeah, just go for it.

305
00:24:57,908 --> 00:24:58,048
Anyway.

306
00:24:58,368 --> 00:24:58,587
Okay.

307
00:24:59,309 --> 00:25:01,089
fi, Tיםgan, wedi ray.

308
00:25:01,489 --> 00:25:09,429
David O 'r enthalpy54 o 'r ta 'r ydyfafi annuddwch chi wedi ddfrie pan windowгоch rwy 'n bifle i hynny.

309
00:25:11,483 --> 00:25:13,922
What do you do to encourage yourself in God?

310
00:25:13,983 --> 00:25:15,603
First and foremost, talk about that.

311
00:25:16,163 --> 00:25:19,723
Okay, the in God bit would be the similar things to you.

312
00:25:20,703 --> 00:25:25,002
I do like journaling for when I'm in those situations.

313
00:25:25,003 --> 00:25:28,462
I don't journal as a matter of course every day because I get rid of it.

314
00:25:28,903 --> 00:25:40,662
I tend to do it more when I feel like I've heard something from God or like somebody else says something that's really stuck with me or you know kind of the highs and the lows really.

315
00:25:41,403 --> 00:25:44,282
And I use a journal to help me process stuff.

316
00:25:44,543 --> 00:25:49,903
So to pour out my thoughts and then just to invite God into the situation, that'd be one.

317
00:25:50,223 --> 00:25:53,642
Another would be talking to you and just going, well I know that.

318
00:25:55,628 --> 00:25:59,947
Okay, tell me something encouraging which I think is generally what I do.

319
00:26:00,048 --> 00:26:00,107
Yeah.

320
00:26:01,688 --> 00:26:03,408
You normally say fix it.

321
00:26:04,668 --> 00:26:05,067
Sometimes.

322
00:26:05,468 --> 00:26:05,628
Yeah.

323
00:26:05,908 --> 00:26:13,127
Sometimes it's a case of I just want to tell you everything and I don't need to do anything other than some like okay, tell me something now.

324
00:26:13,248 --> 00:26:14,348
Tell me what I need to do.

325
00:26:14,448 --> 00:26:15,407
Tell me how to fix this now.

326
00:26:15,828 --> 00:26:17,028
So it depends on the situation.

327
00:26:17,628 --> 00:26:20,427
And that's interesting because you've brought up another point there.

328
00:26:20,428 --> 00:26:24,268
So you first and foremost, I think you have to encourage yourself in God, right?

329
00:26:25,828 --> 00:26:28,828
And the second thing is I I don't believe know.

330
00:26:29,007 --> 00:26:31,506
that God puts people around you to encourage you.

331
00:26:32,167 --> 00:26:32,326
Right?

332
00:26:33,207 --> 00:26:36,587
Whether this is friends, whether this is just random.

333
00:26:36,415 --> 00:26:45,934
and then people who just say the odd thing to you and it just sparks something in your head and that happens quite a bit and it could be family, it could be a church.

334
00:26:46,072 --> 00:26:58,411
I So am a mwyn it could be a worship song, I think God sort of has these sort of happy accidents if you're like where people come across, you come across people that, you know, that encourage you in many ways.

335
00:26:58,612 --> 00:27:03,811
And the Bible, there are verses which talks about, well, tells us, encourage one another in the Lord.

336
00:27:04,812 --> 00:27:09,471
So, you know, to actively connotately do that and look for situations where we can encourage people.

337
00:27:09,872 --> 00:27:10,332
Yeah, we do.

338
00:27:10,832 --> 00:27:14,852
It's interesting, one of the key things that the Bible talks about where church is concerned.

339
00:27:14,852 --> 00:27:18,772
gallwn gwawr, mith wedi gywmio roedd yr rhom ynmişi rhan o bench.

340
00:27:19,155 --> 00:27:27,234
But one of the chief things that you're supposed to do when you go to church, one of the chief reasons to go to church is not just to sing hymns, which is good.

341
00:27:27,106 --> 00:27:38,011
but not just a break in a bread which is good, notice the devotion of yourself to the posses teaching which is good but the That Bible will talk a lot about encouraging one another.

342
00:27:38,611 --> 00:27:42,950
So when you go to church, your prayer should be like, God, how do I encourage the people?

343
00:27:43,291 --> 00:27:43,871
Give me a for word.

344
00:27:44,249 --> 00:27:45,569
one or two of the people in church.

345
00:27:45,749 --> 00:27:46,728
How do I encourage them?

346
00:27:47,629 --> 00:27:53,129
And so at the end of every, if I go to an in -person church service, one of the things I love to do at the end is just go around.

347
00:27:53,323 --> 00:27:58,502
talk to everybody with a key thing in the back of my head, how do I encourage this person that I'm talking to right now?

348
00:28:00,783 --> 00:28:01,442
Because D降ol I think I'm going to have to talk to you about that.

349
00:28:01,639 --> 00:28:12,439
canna婸 nervell帶 f dress yn pach maeddiol hwnna franne, a pwede yma di fofa, ryd� fel wneud sylfar, fofa o gyhaosol scotol o creduable no, ac ffaen code apweliad yn am yr ei gifol.

Jeffa weda fofa o fy mynd cent feinig.

351
00:28:22,232 --> 00:28:22,831
It fills me tank.

352
00:28:23,512 --> 00:28:25,452
That's a very Julie Connelly expression.

353
00:28:25,672 --> 00:28:26,512
You might have to explain that.

354
00:28:27,312 --> 00:28:42,312
If you can imagine that you've got an energy tank, and we've only got so much energy to give out to things, and when that energy is gone, it's quite easy to get discouraged.

355
00:28:42,512 --> 00:28:44,631
I think in those situations when your energy is gone.

356
00:28:44,632 --> 00:28:52,391
So filling your tanks about just doing those things that bring you life and renew your energy.

357
00:28:52,752 --> 00:28:55,711
Of course, being with God, big one.

358
00:28:56,123 --> 00:29:06,863
But there are other things, so for me it might be reading or meeting with a friend or going for walk out in nature or just doing something that I enjoy.

359
00:29:07,463 --> 00:29:19,583
And it does remind me of a passage from the Old Testament and I can't remember the guy's name, it's possibly a large or a light share and Old Testament prophet who just done those are very tiring stuff for God.

360
00:29:19,583 --> 00:29:26,702
I've seen lots of victories and amazing stuff but I got to point where he was just depressed and didn't want to go on.

361
00:29:26,883 --> 00:29:30,823
And I think possibly that was because he was absolutely exhausted.

362
00:29:31,083 --> 00:29:33,443
So he had an amazing time in one sense.

363
00:29:33,683 --> 00:29:35,902
It was a difficult situation too.

364
00:29:36,863 --> 00:29:43,562
And what God does is come alongside him, sends him food and sends him drink and tells him to rest.

365
00:29:44,883 --> 00:29:46,423
You keep talking.

366
00:29:47,523 --> 00:29:48,223
I'm going to ac go.

369
00:30:31,322 --> 00:30:40,143
I'm hoping that this is going to solve the buffering issue that people seem to be experiencing.

370
00:30:42,343 --> 00:30:43,342
So I'm just closing that.

371
00:30:45,351 --> 00:30:48,071
Okay, so sorry about that folks let me just double check.

372
00:30:53,931 --> 00:30:55,070
Okay, oops, Daisy.

373
00:30:57,891 --> 00:31:00,170
Well, I've just done but I definitely don't want to do that.

374
00:31:01,111 --> 00:31:05,987
So, and Thoughts about encouraging ourselves, encouraging other people.

375
00:31:07,227 --> 00:31:09,586
Were you going in any particular direction?

376
00:31:10,167 --> 00:31:11,287
No, It I just...

377
00:31:11,288 --> 00:31:12,008
was good.

378
00:31:12,108 --> 00:31:21,687
I thought there was a theme there where you encourage yourself in the Lord and you encourage, you know, God puts people around you to encourage you.

379
00:31:22,428 --> 00:31:30,118
There Here's is one thing that one other thing that sort of springs to my mind that actually would be an interesting thing to talk about.

380
00:31:31,559 --> 00:31:36,918
Although it might sound a little bit odd, is that he gives angels to encourages.

381
00:31:38,479 --> 00:31:39,339
What do you think about that?

382
00:31:40,459 --> 00:31:41,118
Sounds great.

383
00:31:44,253 --> 00:31:48,233
I mean I would love to actually see a real angel.

384
00:31:49,154 --> 00:31:54,533
I don't know that I have, I'm aware of, but maybe, maybe I have an...

385
00:31:54,534 --> 00:31:55,194

Just always go down.

391
00:32:52,382 --> 00:32:55,482
But then this comes back to the unmet expectations, doesn't it?

392
00:32:55,542 --> 00:32:55,722
Yeah.

393
00:32:56,222 --> 00:32:59,261
And so, yeah, hopefully.

394
00:32:59,609 --> 00:33:02,028
Let me know if the buffering issue has now been solved.

395
00:33:02,589 --> 00:33:03,589
Sorry to keep interrupting.

396
00:33:04,389 --> 00:33:06,628
It seems to be picking itself up a little bit now.

397
00:33:08,169 --> 00:33:09,409
Hopefully that's fixed it.

398
00:33:11,509 --> 00:33:14,349
Hopefully it is fixed.

399
00:33:16,869 --> 00:33:17,828
Technical issues.

400
00:33:18,929 --> 00:33:19,349
Every week.

401
00:33:19,921 --> 00:33:23,161
You've done a sterling job of holding the thought there, babe.

402
00:33:24,501 --> 00:33:25,281
Sterling job.

403
00:33:25,661 --> 00:33:26,861
So what were you thinking about angels?

404
00:33:28,461 --> 00:33:40,260
It's just an interesting thing that the Book of Hebrews talks about how angels or ministering spirits have been sent forth to minister to those who are as of salvation, which you would classify as Christians.

405
00:33:41,101 --> 00:34:13,634
And And you can read in the Bible that there are times when angels have, the angels have sort of, they've done And stuff haven't they which is either protected somebody or encouraged somebody sometimes they bring the word of the Lord I mean you think about Mary, you know got Christmas coming up and angel appears to her and tells her that she's gonna be pregnant I mean angels are pretty pretty rad really and they do some funky stuff, but Mae 'r yshans fynd yn congradaith i darhyn syd eu'llu.

406
00:34:13,974 --> 00:34:17,894
Mae 'n webill ac ac i 'r yng ngan i' obstructionïom.

407
00:34:17,589 --> 00:34:19,988
I will talk about how we unwittingly entertain angels.

408
00:34:20,409 --> 00:34:22,148
So obviously we can meet them and not know about it.

409
00:34:23,009 --> 00:34:32,755
And so I think there is a supernatural aspect of this, which says, God is an encourager.

410
00:34:33,716 --> 00:34:35,795
I can encourage myself in the Lord.

411
00:34:35,916 --> 00:34:38,136
I can do things that will encourage me.

412
00:34:39,832 --> 00:34:44,931
But also at the same time God will do supernatural things to encourage me.

413
00:34:45,292 --> 00:34:50,871
One of which is we have, there are angels that will be sent forth on occasions to help us, you know.

414
00:34:52,032 --> 00:35:06,753
And so O 'r tu, ondo yn cwest easydwyd y centwch wrong peerdwi Mae pwysIAMellου rhyaf, plugff ec uncertainor neu ond adio gwrieloglafbr accuselllor, yn habit yn I tipon?

00:35:33,517 --> 00:35:41,616
So hopefully I'm just checking my phone and we seem to be back now, which is good We seem to be moving which is always a beautiful thing.

421
00:35:41,777 --> 00:35:43,625
It's Not already just texting your mates then.

422
00:35:44,145 --> 00:35:45,544
Yeah, I'm the meme and the pub later.

423
00:35:48,205 --> 00:35:49,045
No, not at all.

424
00:35:50,165 --> 00:35:53,804
And so yeah, it seems to be back on track.

425
00:35:54,285 --> 00:35:56,185
Although Maryam says she's still struggling with it.

426
00:35:56,345 --> 00:35:57,644
But just try Refreshing it out.

427
00:35:58,090 --> 00:36:03,129
it just hit the refresh but I don't know I just don't know sometimes live stream is funny isn't it?

428
00:36:03,630 --> 00:36:10,856
But we'll carry on regardless because we know Mae 'n ll черезdol gydaeon, wrth agodd Dawg .驰dou poblws i 'w gen cryddfa 'r angredd fel ei fod deddul.

430
00:36:23,167 --> 00:36:29,667
So encouragement to encourage is made up of two words.

431
00:36:29,927 --> 00:36:31,167
It's like you're reading my mind now.

432
00:36:31,927 --> 00:36:32,626
I'm assuming you're not.

433
00:36:33,007 --> 00:36:33,126
Carrying.

434
00:36:34,147 --> 00:36:35,607
This is spooky isn't it, when the hams.

435
00:36:36,227 --> 00:36:37,366
It's always someone's like, we're married.

436
00:36:37,747 --> 00:36:37,967
Almost.

437
00:36:38,287 --> 00:36:38,626
Almost.

438
00:36:38,980 --> 00:36:43,240
The word to encourage somebody is made up of two words, an, e, and, and courage.

439
00:36:44,020 --> 00:36:46,899
Now the word e, and means within, the God within.

440
00:36:47,797 --> 00:36:49,257
So it's a Greek word.

441
00:36:50,497 --> 00:36:52,717
I think it's a Greek word which means a God within.

442
00:36:53,437 --> 00:36:59,757
So to encourage somebody is to stir that gift of God that is within somebody, right?

443
00:37:00,277 --> 00:37:06,736
So and this is one of the most interesting ways I think to encourage yourself is to remember that God lives within you and he is with you.

444
00:37:08,237 --> 00:37:24,040
Regardless, of what's going on in life and it was pulled up right this wasn't it said um uh let me in fact I'll pull it up I will quit the actual Bible because it's in Romans chapter 8 and they pull up the Bible on my phone.

445
00:37:24,061 --> 00:37:25,521
Have you got the Bible app on your phone?

446
00:37:27,481 --> 00:37:30,380
Do you prefer the Bible app or do you prefer like pen and paper still?

447
00:37:30,921 --> 00:37:31,600
The actual book?

448
00:37:32,161 --> 00:37:33,481
I like a bit of both I think.

449
00:37:34,241 --> 00:37:36,120
But I've got a Bible app convenient, isn't it?

450
00:37:36,141 --> 00:37:37,141
It's very convenient.

451
00:37:37,941 --> 00:37:43,041
So Paul talks about how there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus.

452
00:37:43,221 --> 00:37:44,281
Now this is encouraging.

453
00:37:44,841 --> 00:37:47,124
This is interesting because Paul is encouraging you.

454
00:37:47,244 --> 00:37:50,023
He is saying there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus.

455
00:37:51,524 --> 00:37:58,326
And just fast forward in a little bit, he says, as 4 to blah blah blah blah where are we?

456
00:38:01,025 --> 00:38:03,685
Okay, let me get the right verse here.

457
00:38:05,168 --> 00:38:06,308
for brethren.

458
00:38:06,788 --> 00:38:22,784
Oh in fact let me get a different this is a King James version it's not going to help you he says this for I consider The sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

459
00:38:23,285 --> 00:38:23,305
Right?

460
00:38:23,565 --> 00:38:26,852
So Paul, All's talking about the manifestation of God's glory.

461
00:38:27,032 --> 00:38:31,032
Either in as it while we're here on earth or when we get to heaven, right?

462
00:38:31,958 --> 00:38:39,238
For the earnest expectation of the creation, eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons, for the creation was subjected to, if you can, it goes on and on and on and on about this.

463
00:38:40,795 --> 00:38:42,175
Where's the bit I'm looking for?

464
00:38:43,775 --> 00:38:44,634
Here we go.

465
00:38:46,055 --> 00:38:58,996
We know that all things work together for good to those Those who love God, Romans 8 .28, to those who are called according to His purpose, for whom He foreknew, He predestined to be conformed into the image of His Son.

466
00:39:00,811 --> 00:39:03,930
He who predestined, he also called, right?

467
00:39:04,190 --> 00:39:10,560
If he called you, he also justified you and if he justifies he also glorified you.

468
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:12,700
There's some very big words in this, right?

469
00:39:13,660 --> 00:39:17,337
So what shall we say to for us who can be against us.

470
00:39:17,457 --> 00:39:20,437
He who did not spare his own son but delivered him up for us all.

471
00:39:20,957 --> 00:39:25,136
How shall he not with him also freely give us all?

472
00:39:24,976 --> 00:39:26,256
all things.

473
00:39:27,136 --> 00:39:29,715
And second, it's great isn't it?

474
00:39:29,896 --> 00:39:34,879
It's it's and it goes on and it goes who shall Our separators from the love of Christ, right?

475
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:40,480
Shall tribulation, tribulation, or distress or person?

476
00:39:40,253 --> 00:39:53,240
execution or famine or nakedness or peril or sword as it is written for your sake we are killed all all day long we are a cantedist sheep for the slaughter yet in all these things.

477
00:39:54,340 --> 00:39:54,939
Right?

478
00:39:55,420 --> 00:39:56,321
In all these these things.

479
00:39:56,682 --> 00:40:07,589
So in tribulation, in distress, in persecution, in famine, in nakedness, in peril, and when you're in bad at all with the soul when you feel like you're like a sheepled to the slaughter.

480
00:40:08,230 --> 00:40:15,466
In all these things we are more than conquerors through to him who loved us for I am persuaded.

481
00:40:16,986 --> 00:40:20,285
And this is interesting isn't it how did Paul get persuaded of this right?

482
00:40:20,953 --> 00:40:37,889
I am persuaded that neither death nor life nor angels nor principalities nor powers nor things present nor things to come nor or height nor depth nor any other created thing just to be totally clear shall be able to separate us from the liver of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

483
00:40:39,369 --> 00:40:40,448
Amazing verses.

484
00:40:41,269 --> 00:40:41,848
They're aren't great.

485
00:40:42,164 --> 00:40:42,283
they?

486
00:40:42,384 --> 00:40:46,703
And so this is the same pool that was discouraged in Athens, that was discouraged in currents.

487
00:40:48,444 --> 00:40:51,963
And as he's getting towards the end of his life, he sort of figures these out, doesn't he?

488
00:40:52,044 --> 00:41:03,980
He's going, well hang on a minute, I've been like that, I've suffered, I've been persecuted, I've been in such dire straits, yet in all these things I am more than a conqueror, which is where Jessie Guflanc yn wrein hyn yna yn frców.

Super encouraging words and I love that the courage of God.

499
00:42:05,829 --> 00:42:07,248
It's the courage of God within you.

500
00:42:07,349 --> 00:42:11,969
It's not We've said this before on on crowd and it's worth saying again.

502
00:42:20,599 --> 00:42:37,197
If I close my eyes hard enough and it's going to make things happen, it's not about how cool you are or how strong you are or how weak you are, it's all about him and so we encourage ourselves in God.

503
00:42:37,043 --> 00:42:47,082
God, not in our own ability because if that ability disappears, you've not really got much, whereas God's ability is infinite and permanent, isn't it?

504
00:42:47,183 --> 00:42:57,514
And so I think we can encourage ourselves in Him because Because in him, nothing can separate me from his love.

505
00:42:57,654 --> 00:42:59,253
I mean, that's an encouragement right there.

506
00:43:00,494 --> 00:43:30,662
And in regard of to whatever I face I'm more than a conqueror through Christ who loves me and you just kind of like well that's pretty rad that's pretty radical and I think it's super encouraging because that's the encouragement of God that's in you yeah which says doesn't matter what you face God's with you God's for you that you can't be separate from the love of God and you can be encouraged by that I think there Unigowym are fel ei lime iad a da ond fel ein wowag een summaraith.

Everybody's gone, yes.

514
00:44:24,386 --> 00:44:24,906
Sorry Matt.

515
00:44:25,846 --> 00:44:26,246
Um...

516
00:44:28,005 --> 00:44:28,405
Yeah.

517
00:44:29,043 --> 00:44:34,743
Sorry about the buffering, genuinely dais working, fine for me, I just want to point that out, I don't understand why, but there you go.

518
00:44:35,543 --> 00:44:44,102
We seem to have got it working now, I think I understand what the first problem might have been, I think it might have been a Wi -Fi issue, but hopefully we're back up and running now, we'll wait and see.

519

520
00:44:50,999 --> 00:44:52,638
So the good news is we're recording everything here.

521
00:44:52,939 --> 00:44:54,459
So we've got an actual copy of it.

522
00:44:56,665 --> 00:45:05,134
time is it we've been chatting away so let me tell you should we tell people what's coming up next if you got anything more to you want to say about this because I I'm don't think so.

523
00:45:05,134 --> 00:45:06,814
We're going to steal your preach if we carry on.

524
00:45:06,934 --> 00:45:07,334
I think it's gone.

525
00:45:10,394 --> 00:45:13,173
See if you're going to be a repeat or have to change tax.

526
00:45:13,854 --> 00:45:14,114
We'll see.

527
00:45:14,294 --> 00:45:16,273
Just repeat it.

528
00:45:16,634 --> 00:45:18,714
Whatever you talk about will be great.

529
00:45:19,394 --> 00:45:20,074
It always is.

530
00:45:20,716 --> 00:45:33,115
So yes, one of the ways that I used to encourage myself a lot when I was young in my Christian faith is I would in fact, I still do this.

531
00:45:34,316 --> 00:45:37,778
If you want on encouragement around a certain topic.

532
00:45:38,658 --> 00:45:49,378
Right, so let's say it is fear and you are feeling afraid, whether it's because of all the wars that are going on, you know, got Israel, Gaza, you've got Ukraine, Russia, all kinds of stuff going on.

533
00:45:49,778 --> 00:45:53,361
So Let's let's say, right, you have an issue of fear.

534
00:45:53,561 --> 00:45:56,781
How would I encourage myself in that deal with that fear?

535
00:45:57,947 --> 00:46:01,127
This is probably a more practical answer to in some respects.

536
00:46:02,927 --> 00:46:08,046
I would study the Bible on what it says about fear, right?

537
00:46:08,396 --> 00:46:16,515
I would go and get like 5 or 6 verses and you can just google what does the Bible say about fair and it's going to come up with some stuff right.

538
00:46:17,421 --> 00:46:41,199
I am then going to write those down on a piece of paper those five verses I'm going to write them out long You know the full length and all irgendwGot you 'n dod yn hyn i 'r maile Roedd hon, fundra, yn eich am killwch gyur yr acne, l doubtau 'r� ligad eich limitingol yn hygelen ac én gref готов a acodwch y絵 ein And arall rhoi perc do is I would then on a piece of paper, I think it's usually works best on a piece of paper, but I would highlight different parts of that verse, I would ring different parts.

539
00:46:41,059 --> 00:46:45,879
I would write little notes in the margin, I would write then build that out to a paragraph.

540
00:46:46,079 --> 00:46:46,919
What do we think that means?

541
00:46:47,659 --> 00:46:50,699
And this is what I did when I was younger and it really, really works.

542
00:46:50,899 --> 00:46:59,499
I I would prep those six verses as though I was going to deliver them as a talk in church, right, as a sermon.

543
00:47:00,359 --> 00:47:03,774
And so So there's a number of reasons why I think this is good, right?

544
00:47:04,014 --> 00:47:16,858
And I'm sure there's all kinds of psychological benefits as well, but to read some Something is one thing to read something, make notes in the margin is something else, but to read it, understand it in such a way that you're going to try and teach it.

545
00:47:17,619 --> 00:47:19,878
I think that's a very different form of revelation.

546
00:47:20,099 --> 00:47:20,478
I really do.

547
00:47:21,744 --> 00:47:29,163
So I would, uh, between university when I first became a Christian and I had the house where I used to live, it was a 45 minute walk.

548
00:47:30,044 --> 00:47:36,805
And so, I would take out those notes and I would preach to myself for 45 minutes walking home.

549
00:47:37,905 --> 00:47:43,303
And if you just put But your headphones in, people were just thinking talking on the phone, so you don't look aware though.

550
00:47:44,084 --> 00:47:48,184
But 20 years ago, of course, we didn't, well, 20 years ago, it was a lot longer than 20 years ago when I was at uni.

551
00:47:48,222 --> 00:48:10,837
30 years ago, we didn't have the, we had that big over the head things and we didn't have mobile phones on head so people just thought I was weird and I was fine with that But go down the garden sheds Go somewhere where it's quiet wait till the kids have left the house whatever it is pull out those notes that you have prepped as a talk and then actually preach that talk.

552
00:48:11,038 --> 00:48:14,658
Get the words out of your mouth and deliver that as a sermon.

553
00:48:14,998 --> 00:48:17,644
There There's is something so powerful about that.

554
00:48:18,585 --> 00:48:38,363
You are speaking the word of God to your soul and you get encouraged and I would do that twice a day for many, many days while us the word of God was built, built up inside of me and I could have faith and whilst faith grew and sort of expanded in my heart preaching it was the best way to get it in there.

555
00:48:39,043 --> 00:50:21,984
Or if you want a kind of a more potted version, I didn't necessarily the the preach version but definitely when I was struggling with things I would do this study like you say like what God what are you saying what does your words say about this situation this subject and then if they were like they'd generally be about well I'd pick three verses in particular that just really stood out to me that were just like yeah that's for me and then I would take like medicine like three times a day and you touched on the whole thing of the speaking and the Bible has a lot to say about meditation and the biblical meditation is to think on but also to mutter so it's the both of the thinking and the speaking out which you've mentioned there and I'll just be like again speaking these verses over myself and thinking about them like thinking okay if I really believe these would true how would that affect how I felt how I thought how I behaved and I was like start acting in that way yeah even before you necessarily feel like it just trusting on okay I I'm gonna act on it I'm gonna speak I'm gonna think it yeah and yeah very powerful so both methods and actually for other people if you're really creative and artistic maybe creating our around those verses we've got to constantly think about it create in music yeah whatever it is you're into you can use those skills and talents to actually meditate think on mutter God's words yeah you can do and that That for me is the best, most solid way to encourage yourself.

556
00:50:24,965 --> 00:50:25,905
Don't be passive.

557
00:50:26,105 --> 00:50:30,965
In other words, a lot of people will go, Lord, I need encouragement and to sit there, right?

558
00:50:32,325 --> 00:50:37,634
It's to good pray, but it's don't be passive, right?

559
00:50:37,935 --> 00:50:40,995
Get yourself into God's Word, study God's Word.

560
00:50:41,495 --> 00:50:46,706
So if you're not a Christian, What all I'm I saying is go to the Bible, find out what God says about certain things.

561
00:50:47,267 --> 00:50:48,666
The Bible covers a lot of topics.

562
00:50:48,927 --> 00:50:51,247
We've done a lot of those actually previously on crowd.

563
00:50:51,727 --> 00:50:53,327
What does the Bible say about that whole series?

564
00:50:54,067 --> 00:51:10,549
The Bible I will cover a lot of topics you can go and find out what the Bible has to say and encourage yourself in that and that will be away to build faith inside you and as your faith grows and expands when you're not being passive, you'll be amazed.

565
00:51:10,770 --> 00:51:14,629
You're all of a sudden you'll feel like David that you can run through a troop and climb a wall, right?

566
00:51:14,870 --> 00:51:27,749
It's just and you'll feel like like Paul, like I don't care what's going on here, I'm more than a conqueror in this and it sounds odd that he could say that but I think he got to a place where actually his faith in God allowed him to get there.

567
00:51:28,130 --> 00:51:34,006
It It wasn't wasn't overnight and it wasn't when Paul was passive but do stir yourself up in the things of God.

568
00:51:34,186 --> 00:51:39,765
Stir yourself up in God and you will be encouraged and maybe you could do a whole talk on that.

569
00:51:40,286 --> 00:51:40,746
Yeah, maybe.

570
00:51:41,246 --> 00:51:42,486
Maybe that's what your talk would be about.

571
00:51:42,486 --> 00:51:42,986
I'm.

572
00:51:42,825 --> 00:51:43,905
I'm just going to look at the comments.

573
00:51:44,185 --> 00:51:45,305
Do you want to explain what's happening next week?

574
00:51:45,965 --> 00:51:57,285
Yeah, next week in the UK we've got Bonfire Night and the nation will be gathering together in groups, eating, watching fireworks and that kind of thing.

575
00:51:58,125 --> 00:52:00,724
So we've got a non -live livestream next week.

576
00:52:01,245 --> 00:52:02,945
So yeah, it's pre -recorded.

577
00:52:02,985 --> 00:52:05,084
The whole thing will be pre -recorded.

578
00:52:06,105 --> 00:52:06,585
Yeah.

579
00:52:07,483 --> 00:52:08,322
Yeah, I'll say I don't know.

580
00:52:08,483 --> 00:52:09,623
Yeah, I'll tell you what is it's funny.

581
00:52:09,723 --> 00:52:10,083
I'm just sleep.

582
00:52:10,863 --> 00:52:12,283
Matt Crease put in the comments.

583
00:52:13,403 --> 00:52:15,703
Edmo hasn't bothered telling me who's doing the tour.

584
00:52:15,532 --> 00:52:16,251
Walk next week.

585
00:52:16,492 --> 00:52:18,851
It's probably someone elderly like Edmo himself.

00:52:19,252 --> 00:52:22,572
Jen is written in the comments, oh, I'm a similar age to Edmo.

587
00:52:24,191 --> 00:52:29,311
So Matt is backtracking going, you should be apologising Matthew straight away.

588
00:52:30,091 --> 00:52:48,706
Yes, next week as you say, there's an on live livestream so if you are watching this outside of the UK you'll be like what is bomb finite and I I would wish I had a sensible explanation for you of what Bon Fine I is, but I don't.

595
00:53:03,693 --> 00:53:07,853
But yeah, so we have got bomb fire night next week, so we're going to do a non -live livestream.

596
00:53:08,113 --> 00:53:12,812
It will be myself and my very, very good friend.

597
00:53:13,393 --> 00:53:14,592
Hopefully, if all goes well.

598
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:15,020
tomorrow.

599
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:17,719
Tony and I are going to be recording.

600
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:24,359
So Tony Odin, who's a pastor of Tehram, let's community church, here and I are going to record next week's non -live livestream tomorrow.

601
00:53:25,220 --> 00:53:25,780
It's going to be good.

602
00:53:26,740 --> 00:53:28,040
No doubt about it.

603
00:53:28,820 --> 00:53:29,920
We're going to laugh a lot.

604
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:51,239
I'm probably probably be slightly irreverent if I'm honest with you but we'll try very hard not to be too callous because Tony and I just like to laugh whenever we get together but I I thought it would be great to get someone like Tony on board, but he's going to talk about the straight and straight of the union in terms of Just some things that we're seeing in church at the moment and just talk around those issues and And just figure out what God's saying about them.

605
00:53:51,259 --> 00:53:52,139
So I'm looking forward to it.

606
00:53:52,179 --> 00:53:52,599
It's gonna be great.

607
00:53:52,619 --> 00:54:05,858

Uh -huh.

609
00:54:06,659 --> 00:54:08,339
So halloween Halloween's coming up this Tuesday.

610
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:14,979
Halloween's an interesting one isn't where we should maybe have talked about Halloween slightly contentious issue could should Christians do it yes or no right?

611
00:54:14,839 --> 00:54:16,038
Be sure to answer in the comments.

612
00:54:16,919 --> 00:54:19,319
I'll be really, really keen to hear them.

613
00:54:20,539 --> 00:54:22,018
But yes, Halloween.

614
00:54:22,619 --> 00:54:23,198
Yes or no?

615
00:54:25,559 --> 00:54:28,921
In fact, Right, doesn't even have, he doesn't even have to be that black and white, does it?

616
00:54:30,602 --> 00:54:30,961

617
00:54:30,962 --> 00:54:34,662
So, what else is coming up next week?

618
00:54:38,042 --> 00:54:41,701
Like, listen else in the comments other than read comments about you not know what the ethernet means.

619
00:54:42,342 --> 00:54:42,962
You not know what?

620
00:54:43,142 --> 00:54:43,781
An ethernet is.

621
00:54:47,839 --> 00:54:49,378
But that's okay, that's okay.

622
00:54:49,479 --> 00:54:49,998
You don't need to.

623
00:54:50,539 --> 00:54:53,078
To be fair, I don't really know what it is anyway, but I just noticed why.

624
00:54:52,968 --> 00:54:55,068
That comes out and it should stick in there somewhere.

625
00:54:56,628 --> 00:54:58,588
But yes, no, thank you so much for joining us.

626
00:54:59,028 --> 00:55:00,687
Once again apologies for the book.

627
00:55:00,514 --> 00:55:01,574
offering issues tonight.

628
00:55:01,714 --> 00:55:02,654
It's not normally like this.

629
00:55:02,814 --> 00:55:05,733
First time this has actually happened for a very very long time.

630
00:55:06,774 --> 00:55:13,423
But do like and subscribe I do come join us next week in the non -live livestream for tiny and my first conversation.

631
00:55:13,524 --> 00:55:18,124
We'll be back live the week after with hosted live streams.

632
00:55:18,224 --> 00:55:20,704
I think is it Chris Holcomb the week after?

633
00:55:21,184 --> 00:55:22,184
I don't know why I'm looking at it.

634
00:55:22,224 --> 00:55:23,663
I don't know why I'm looking at you to be fair.

635
00:55:24,204 --> 00:55:25,404
I know you don't know.

636
00:55:25,504 --> 00:55:26,543
I'm very sorry to put you in that position.

637
00:55:27,063 --> 00:55:31,403
But I think it's Chris Holcomb, then it's you talking about encouragement.

638
00:55:31,783 --> 00:55:33,402
Of course, I'm different now.

639
00:55:33,803 --> 00:55:36,323
Plus something different, as you know, as ripping up her talk as we speak.

640
00:55:37,095 --> 00:55:39,555
Then it's me and then we're into the Christmas season.

641
00:55:39,795 --> 00:55:40,675
Can you believe that?

642
00:55:40,855 --> 00:55:41,794
Clocks have gone back today.

643
00:55:42,415 --> 00:55:43,254
The sky is dark.

644
00:55:43,375 --> 00:55:44,254
