00:00:01.110 --> 00:00:03.810
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.810 --> 00:00:07.920
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:07.920 --> 00:00:11.100
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
4
00:00:11.100 --> 00:00:14.700
and your mind where the
word is the anchor in
5
00:00:14.700 --> 00:00:16.650
uncertain times
6
00:00:16.650 --> 00:00:19.950
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
7
00:00:19.950 --> 00:00:21.360
We keep it simple,
8
00:00:21.360 --> 00:00:25.950
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
9
00:00:26.820 --> 00:00:28.740
a love that emboldens,
10
00:00:29.850 --> 00:00:32.010
and a mission that touches the world.
11
00:00:34.350 --> 00:00:35.880
Let's join Rick Renner.
12
00:00:38.220 --> 00:00:40.110
Welcome to today's program, my friend.
13
00:00:40.110 --> 00:00:44.280
Today we're wrapping up the series called Easter - The Rest
14
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:48.240
of the Story and today's program is called Copy Every Stroke
15
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:52.170
of the Master and Walk in the Footsteps of Jesus.
16
00:00:52.170 --> 00:00:55.095
And you see on the screen
behind me the image
17
00:00:55.095 --> 00:00:58.620
of a teacher who's teaching
a boy how to write,
18
00:00:58.620 --> 00:01:02.340
and the student is copying
every stroke of the Master.
19
00:01:02.340 --> 00:01:06.360
You'll understand why we have
this illustration in just a
20
00:01:06.360 --> 00:01:08.760
moment, but in this amazing series we
21
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:10.080
began in the Garden of Gethsemane.
22
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:13.380
We saw all the events that
occurred to Jesus there
23
00:01:13.380 --> 00:01:16.890
and the amazing amounts
of power that flowed
24
00:01:16.890 --> 00:01:19.440
through Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane.
25
00:01:19.440 --> 00:01:22.560
We saw Jesus trial before
religious leaders in Pilate
26
00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:25.230
and how he was shipped over
to Herod, then shipped back
27
00:01:25.230 --> 00:01:29.190
to Pilate, how Jesus was scourged, how he was crucified,
28
00:01:29.190 --> 00:01:30.210
how he was buried.
29
00:01:30.210 --> 00:01:34.770
He was sealed, but on the 3rd day, he really came out
30
00:01:34.770 --> 00:01:37.350
of the tomb: say - Amen.
31
00:01:37.350 --> 00:01:41.550
And now we've seen yesterday
that for the last 2000 years,
32
00:01:41.550 --> 00:01:43.620
Jesus has been really busy.
33
00:01:43.620 --> 00:01:45.870
He's been seated at the
right hand of the Father
34
00:01:45.870 --> 00:01:50.160
as our great high priest where
he lives to intercede for you
35
00:01:50.160 --> 00:01:53.820
and for me, which means according to Hebrews 4:16,
36
00:01:53.820 --> 00:01:56.340
if we will come to him boldly with our needs,
37
00:01:56.340 --> 00:02:00.180
he will swing into action
as a mighty warrior
38
00:02:00.180 --> 00:02:01.980
to put us back on our feet
39
00:02:01.980 --> 00:02:04.680
and to deliver us from
anything that has tried
40
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:05.730
to come against us.
41
00:02:05.730 --> 00:02:08.130
Wow, that is amazing.
42
00:02:08.130 --> 00:02:10.770
But today we're gonna learn what it means -
43
00:02:10.770 --> 00:02:13.590
to copy every stroke of the Master
44
00:02:13.590 --> 00:02:16.290
and a walk in the footprints of Jesus.
45
00:02:16.290 --> 00:02:18.420
It is just going to be amazing.
46
00:02:18.420 --> 00:02:21.360
So please stay with me
all the way to the end
47
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:23.160
of today's program.
48
00:02:23.160 --> 00:02:26.880
But remember that if you need
prayer, we're here for you.
49
00:02:26.880 --> 00:02:28.230
We are people of prayer.
50
00:02:28.230 --> 00:02:30.210
I've already prayed for you today,
51
00:02:30.210 --> 00:02:32.640
but we're praying for
God to move in your life.
52
00:02:32.640 --> 00:02:36.240
And if you want somebody to
specifically pray with you,
53
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:39.210
call the number on the
screen or send us an email
54
00:02:39.210 --> 00:02:41.970
and we will release our faith with you
55
00:02:41.970 --> 00:02:44.820
and Jesus will move in your life.
56
00:02:44.820 --> 00:02:47.580
I believe it. And the
word of God guarantees
57
00:02:47.580 --> 00:02:48.810
that if we pray in faith
58
00:02:48.810 --> 00:02:51.630
and pray according to
his will, he hears us
59
00:02:51.630 --> 00:02:54.720
and we will have the petitions
which we request of him.
60
00:02:54.720 --> 00:02:57.150
So call the number or send us an email
61
00:02:57.150 --> 00:02:58.590
and we'll pray with you.
62
00:02:58.590 --> 00:03:00.550
Now we're gonna get
right into the teaching,
63
00:03:00.550 --> 00:03:02.110
but first, watch this,
64
00:03:03.130 --> 00:03:06.100
Do you know the story of
Easter, the resurrection
65
00:03:06.100 --> 00:03:07.930
of Jesus, the empty tomb
66
00:03:07.930 --> 00:03:09.880
and the appearances to the disciples?
67
00:03:09.880 --> 00:03:13.300
But did you know that's
only part of the story?
68
00:03:13.300 --> 00:03:15.400
In Rick Renner's new book, Easter.
69
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:16.660
The Rest of the Story,
70
00:03:16.660 --> 00:03:18.790
Rick delves into the lesser known details
71
00:03:18.790 --> 00:03:21.580
of the Easter story that
are often overlooked.
72
00:03:21.580 --> 00:03:24.280
Details like: who was Pontius Pilate,
73
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:26.680
what really happened to the garden of Gethsemane?
74
00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:28.960
What happened to the
temple when Jesus died?
75
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:31.180
What exactly did the disciples witness on
76
00:03:31.180 --> 00:03:32.770
that miraculous morning?
77
00:03:32.770 --> 00:03:36.580
Why Easter is the absolute
defining moment of our faith.
78
00:03:36.580 --> 00:03:38.320
With its elegant illustrations,
79
00:03:38.320 --> 00:03:40.930

98
00:04:33.130 --> 00:04:35.710
Today we're wrapping up my series called Easter -
99
00:04:35.710 --> 00:04:36.910
The Rest of the Story.
100
00:04:36.910 --> 00:04:40.930
And for 15 programs, we've
been studying all the events
101
00:04:40.930 --> 00:04:44.740
that Jesus went through in
the final hours of his life.
102
00:04:44.740 --> 00:04:49.510
And during those final hours,
Jesus was treated unfairly.
103
00:04:49.510 --> 00:04:51.640
Jesus was treated unjustly,
104
00:04:51.640 --> 00:04:52.870
but he committed himself
105
00:04:52.870 --> 00:04:56.410
to the Father believing
the Father was in charge.
106
00:04:56.410 --> 00:04:59.500
And I want to tell you that
if you experience things
107
00:04:59.500 --> 00:05:02.350
that are unfair or you
think they are unjust,
108
00:05:02.350 --> 00:05:05.320
and sometimes that really
happens in life, you need
109
00:05:05.320 --> 00:05:06.970
to commit yourself to the father
110
00:05:06.970 --> 00:05:09.340
and declare that Jesus is Lord
111
00:05:09.340 --> 00:05:12.730
and Jesus is gonna work it all out.
112
00:05:12.730 --> 00:05:17.230
But when we come to 1 Peter 2:21,
113
00:05:17.230 --> 00:05:20.980
Peter writes to believers
who are also suffering a lot
114
00:05:20.980 --> 00:05:23.680
of unjust, unfair things.
115
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:26.680
They were suffering at the
hands of the Roman government.
116
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:31.420
And to them, he said, for even here unto were you called.
117
00:05:31.420 --> 00:05:35.770
Because Christ suffered for us, leaving us an example
118
00:05:35.770 --> 00:05:37.780
that you should follow in his steps.
119
00:05:37.780 --> 00:05:40.120
That is not an invitation to suffer.
120
00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:43.060
But in this verse, we find
that if we are suffering,
121
00:05:43.060 --> 00:05:45.310
Jesus left us an example
122
00:05:45.310 --> 00:05:48.760
and we should follow in his steps.
123
00:05:48.760 --> 00:05:52.390
He was writing to believers
who had no recourse,
124
00:05:52.390 --> 00:05:55.900
they were suffering at the
hands of the government,
125
00:05:55.900 --> 00:05:59.060
and their government was
really treating them unfairly
126
00:05:59.060 --> 00:06:00.290
and unjustly.
127
00:06:00.290 --> 00:06:02.570
It was horrible what the
government was doing to them.
128
00:06:02.570 --> 00:06:05.060
Many of them were being
killed for their faith.
129
00:06:05.060 --> 00:06:07.970
And yet God's word commanded them
130
00:06:07.970 --> 00:06:11.180
to respect governmental leaders, to pray for them,
131
00:06:11.180 --> 00:06:12.920
to submit to them.
132
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:15.560
And yet the governmental leaders they would submit to
133
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:16.970
and to respect and to pray
134
00:06:16.970 --> 00:06:19.340
for were the very ones killing them.
135
00:06:19.340 --> 00:06:22.790
And these believers were really facing a lot of unfair,
136
00:06:22.790 --> 00:06:24.290
unjust treatment.
137
00:06:24.290 --> 00:06:26.540
And they needed to know what do we do?
138
00:06:26.540 --> 00:06:29.840
How do we respond when
we have no recourse?
139
00:06:29.840 --> 00:06:32.150
Now if you have a legal
recourse, that's wonderful,
140
00:06:32.150 --> 00:06:35.390
but what if you have no legal recourse?
141
00:06:35.390 --> 00:06:37.070
What do you do? Well,
142
00:06:37.070 --> 00:06:39.650
the answer is found again in 1 Peter 2:
143
00:06:39.650 --> 00:06:41.360
21, which says,
144
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:46.190
For even here unto were you called - now listen -
145
00:06:46.190 --> 00:06:48.980
because Christ suffered for us,
146
00:06:48.980 --> 00:06:51.710
leaving us an example
147
00:06:51.710 --> 00:06:54.650
that ye should follow in his steps.
148
00:06:54.650 --> 00:06:56.330
If you have your pen or your pencil, underline
149
00:06:56.330 --> 00:06:58.700
that word suffering in this verse.
150
00:06:58.700 --> 00:07:01.130
This word suffered means to suffer,
151
00:07:01.130 --> 00:07:04.010
but it was used to depict the passion
152
00:07:04.010 --> 00:07:08.030
or the suffering that Jesus experienced in his final hours.
153
00:07:08.030 --> 00:07:11.120
But this same word, suffered, is used all over the New
154
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:14.420
Testament and it carries
the idea of suffering,
155
00:07:14.420 --> 00:07:17.330
undergoing hardship, being ill-treated,
156
00:07:17.330 --> 00:07:19.670
experiencing adversity.
157
00:07:19.670 --> 00:07:22.070
And we know that Jesus experienced all
158
00:07:22.070 --> 00:07:24.230
of those things in his final hours
159
00:07:24.230 --> 00:07:26.870
and not just in his final hours,
160
00:07:26.870 --> 00:07:30.650
but Jesus dealt with
adversity his entire life.
161
00:07:30.650 --> 00:07:33.380
When he was a child, his family suffered
162
00:07:33.380 --> 00:07:35.720
as they fled from the murderous plots
163
00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:38.000
of King Herod the Great.
164
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:40.850
We know that later Jesus
suffered at the hands
165
00:07:40.850 --> 00:07:43.040
of religious leaders who hated him
166
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:47.180
and were continually leveling
false accusations against him.
167
00:07:47.180 --> 00:07:50.300
We know that Jesus suffered
when he constantly was putting
168
00:07:50.300 --> 00:07:53.120
up with the immature
behavior of his disciples,
169
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:55.340
but he continued to love
them and taught them
170
00:07:55.340 --> 00:07:57.260
and set an example for them.
171
00:07:57.260 --> 00:08:01.310
We know that Jesus suffered betrayal at the hands of Judas
172
00:08:01.310 --> 00:08:04.880
Iscariot, who was one of his closest associates.
173
00:08:04.880 --> 00:08:08.090
And we know that in the Garden
of Gethsemane, Jesus suffered
174
00:08:08.090 --> 00:08:11.510
to the point that his sweat was as great drops
175
00:08:11.510 --> 00:08:13.700
of blood falling down to the ground.
176
00:08:13.700 --> 00:08:17.120
And at the very end, Jesus suffered when he was physically
177
00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:21.860
scourged and when he died, a horrific death on the cross.
178
00:08:21.860 --> 00:08:24.350
Yet through all these different types
179
00:08:24.350 --> 00:08:28.760
and levels of suffering,
Jesus lived above the fray
180
00:08:28.760 --> 00:08:32.900
and he loved those who
treated him unjustly.
181
00:08:32.900 --> 00:08:34.910
That is just amazing.
182
00:08:34.910 --> 00:08:38.930
But at the time that Peter
was writing his epistle,
183
00:08:38.930 --> 00:08:42.290
the people that he was
writing to needed to know how
184
00:08:42.290 --> 00:08:46.880
to respond to unjust, unfair situations
185
00:08:46.880 --> 00:08:49.280
that they could not change.
186
00:08:49.280 --> 00:08:52.490
Now we live in a day and age
when the law is available,
187
00:08:52.490 --> 00:08:56.010
and sometimes the law provides
for you a legal recourse.
188
00:08:56.010 --> 00:08:58.800
But what if it's your family
that's causing problems?
189
00:08:58.800 --> 00:09:01.200
What if it's a friend
that's causing problems?
190
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:02.310
What if you're in a situation
191
00:09:02.310 --> 00:09:03.660
where there's no legal recourse?
192
00:09:03.660 --> 00:09:05.460
What do you do?
193
00:09:05.460 --> 00:09:08.640
So Peter told his readers, and Peter told me
194
00:09:08.640 --> 00:09:12.030
and you in 1 Peter 2:21, Christ suffered
195
00:09:12.030 --> 00:09:16.560
for us leaving us an example.
196
00:09:16.560 --> 00:09:20.790
What does the word, example mean? All right, listen to this.
197
00:09:20.790 --> 00:09:23.340
It pictures a school child
198
00:09:23.340 --> 00:09:26.880
who carefully watches his
teacher write the letters
199
00:09:26.880 --> 00:09:28.350
of the alphabet,
200
00:09:28.350 --> 00:09:33.350
and then that child painstakingly copies each letter
201
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:36.000
matching it as closely as possible
202
00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:40.560
to the original letters
written by his teachers.
203
00:09:40.560 --> 00:09:41.700
Well, I can relate to that
204
00:09:41.700 --> 00:09:46.470
because when I was a child
in first grade, I had
205
00:09:46.470 --> 00:09:48.210
to learn how to write just like you.
206
00:09:48.210 --> 00:09:51.360
Maybe you can remember when
you were in the first grade
207
00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:54.750
and you were learning to write
the letters of the alphabet.
208
00:09:54.750 --> 00:09:56.880
And I would watch my teacher
209
00:09:56.880 --> 00:09:59.520
as she would beautifully write the letters
210
00:09:59.520 --> 00:10:02.880
of the alphabet on the blackboard with her white chalk.
211
00:10:02.880 --> 00:10:05.430
I can still hear the blackboard screeching
212
00:10:05.430 --> 00:10:06.960
as she would write those letters.
213
00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:09.120
And in front of me on my little desk,
214
00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:11.970
I had a Big Chief Indian tablet.
215
00:10:11.970 --> 00:10:14.280
Did you use a Big Chief Indian tablet?
216
00:10:14.280 --> 00:10:15.900
That's what we used in Oklahoma.
217
00:10:15.900 --> 00:10:17.790
And I had my pencil in hand
218
00:10:17.790 --> 00:10:21.870
and I would watch my teacher
as she would for example,
219
00:10:21.870 --> 00:10:23.670
write the letter A,
220
00:10:23.670 --> 00:10:25.770
I would make her watch
her make the circle,
221
00:10:25.770 --> 00:10:28.050
bring down the leg and curl it up.
222
00:10:28.050 --> 00:10:30.450
On the end it would watch her do it again
223
00:10:30.450 --> 00:10:31.620
and again and again.
224
00:10:31.620 --> 00:10:35.040
Then I would take my pencil
with my Big Chief Indian pad
225
00:10:35.040 --> 00:10:37.830
and I would try to copy exactly
226
00:10:37.830 --> 00:10:40.140
what I had seen my teacher
do, then the letter B,
227
00:10:40.140 --> 00:10:42.720
then the letter C and all the way to the end of the alphabet
228
00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:44.100
day, after day,
229
00:10:44.100 --> 00:10:48.960
after day, painstakingly, trying to copy the letters
230
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:50.190
of my teacher.
231
00:10:50.190 --> 00:10:53.820
Every stroke that she made I tried to make
232
00:10:53.820 --> 00:10:56.880
until finally I replicated the letters
233
00:10:56.880 --> 00:10:59.400
of the alphabet on the pad in front of me.
234
00:10:59.400 --> 00:11:02.790
And in order for me to do it,
I had to fill page after page,
235
00:11:02.790 --> 00:11:04.440
after page after page.
236
00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:06.750
It took many attempts day after day
237
00:11:06.750 --> 00:11:11.700
after day, copying every
stroke of the teacher.
238
00:11:11.700 --> 00:11:14.370
Maybe you can remember doing that as well.
239
00:11:14.370 --> 00:11:15.780
That is exactly
240
00:11:15.780 --> 00:11:19.050
what the word, example, means in 1 Peter
241
00:11:19.050 --> 00:11:20.460
2:21.
242
00:11:20.460 --> 00:11:24.570
Peter has that very image in
mind when he tells his readers
243
00:11:24.570 --> 00:11:28.590
that you and me, when we're
in a hard situation, we need
244
00:11:28.590 --> 00:11:31.800
to follow the example of Jesus.
245
00:11:31.800 --> 00:11:35.370
We need to copy every
single stroke of the Master,
246
00:11:35.370 --> 00:11:38.310
which means Jesus, who is our teacher
247
00:11:38.310 --> 00:11:41.160
and is our Master, is also our blackboard.
248
00:11:41.160 --> 00:11:43.230
And we need to study exactly
249
00:11:43.230 --> 00:11:46.080
what he did in every
single situation he was in,
250
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:49.860
including when he was treated
unfairly and unjustly.
251
00:11:49.860 --> 00:11:50.940
And we need to learn
252
00:11:50.940 --> 00:11:55.750
to painstakingly replicate his example in our
253
00:11:55.750 --> 00:11:57.430
own lives.
254
00:11:57.430 --> 00:12:00.970
That's what Peter means,
which means we have to learn
255
00:12:00.970 --> 00:12:05.410
how Jesus dealt with unfair criticism
256
00:12:05.410 --> 00:12:08.110
so we can respond like he did when he was
257
00:12:08.110 --> 00:12:10.180
unfairly criticized.
258
00:12:10.180 --> 00:12:13.630
We have to learn how
Jesus responded to attacks
259
00:12:13.630 --> 00:12:16.810
that were waged against
him so we can learn how
260
00:12:16.810 --> 00:12:20.410
to respond when attacks are
waged against each of us.
261
00:12:20.410 --> 00:12:22.300
We have to learn how Jesus responded
262
00:12:22.300 --> 00:12:25.900
to people when they betrayed
him or when they failed him.
263
00:12:25.900 --> 00:12:29.770
So we'll know how to respond
when people betray or fail us.
264
00:12:29.770 --> 00:12:32.890
We need to learn how Jesus
carried himself with grace
265
00:12:32.890 --> 00:12:37.510
and dignity, even in the
midst of unspeakable abuse.
266
00:12:37.510 --> 00:12:40.150
So that if we are put
in a difficult situation
267
00:12:40.150 --> 00:12:42.760
and we feel like we're being
mistreated, we'll know how
268
00:12:42.760 --> 00:12:44.860
to respond like Jesus.
269
00:12:44.860 --> 00:12:47.650
We need to see how he forgave his accusers
270
00:12:47.650 --> 00:12:51.310
so we'll understand how we
need to forgive our accusers.
271
00:12:51.310 --> 00:12:55.360
All of that is in the word example.
272
00:12:55.360 --> 00:12:58.750
And the truth is sometimes
we really do face unpleasant
273
00:12:58.750 --> 00:13:02.710
situations for which
there is no legal recourse
274
00:13:02.710 --> 00:13:05.770
and we feel mistreated, we feel abused,
275
00:13:05.770 --> 00:13:08.110
we feel discriminated against.
276
00:13:08.110 --> 00:13:10.120
And the truth is, as long
as we live in a world
277
00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:11.290
where evil exists
278
00:13:11.290 --> 00:13:14.170
and where people live, those kinds
279
00:13:14.170 --> 00:13:16.510
of things are going to happen.
280
00:13:16.510 --> 00:13:21.010
So when we're put into a
situation that seems unfair
281
00:13:21.010 --> 00:13:24.640
or we're put into a situation
that seems unjust, we have
282
00:13:24.640 --> 00:13:26.410
to learn to ask ourself -
283
00:13:26.410 --> 00:13:29.680
how did Jesus respond in such a situation
284
00:13:29.680 --> 00:13:34.660
and how does God expect me to respond?
285
00:13:34.660 --> 00:13:36.490
Now let me give you some examples.
286
00:13:36.490 --> 00:13:40.630
If your employer treats you
badly for no obvious reason
287
00:13:41.560 --> 00:13:44.740
and the situation goes
on for a long, long time,
288
00:13:44.740 --> 00:13:47.110
what should you do?
289
00:13:47.110 --> 00:13:49.630
If you go find another job
290
00:13:49.630 --> 00:13:53.050
and you find out it's
replicated again, again,
291
00:13:53.050 --> 00:13:56.410
you're in another unjust
situation, what should you do?
292
00:13:56.410 --> 00:13:57.700
How should you respond
293
00:13:57.700 --> 00:14:02.200
to a foul treatment you are
receiving from your superior?
294
00:14:02.200 --> 00:14:05.920
Or let's say fellow employees
are out to hurt you,
295
00:14:05.920 --> 00:14:07.750
they're out to undercut you,
296
00:14:07.750 --> 00:14:10.000
or they're out to see you demoted.
297
00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:12.490
What course of action should you take?
298
00:14:12.490 --> 00:14:16.690
Or maybe you've taken
steps to befriend them,
299
00:14:16.690 --> 00:14:19.750
but nothing seems to
improve your situation.
300
00:14:19.750 --> 00:14:21.520
How should you respond
301
00:14:21.520 --> 00:14:26.110
to unfair treatment from the
fellow employees around you?
302
00:14:26.110 --> 00:14:31.110
Or maybe you feel persecuted
by fellow students
303
00:14:31.180 --> 00:14:33.190
who don't share your faith in Christ
304
00:14:33.190 --> 00:14:36.100
and who really don't
like your convictions.
305
00:14:36.100 --> 00:14:37.360
You know, you can't quit school,
306
00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:39.220
you're in school, you're a student.
307
00:14:39.220 --> 00:14:41.230
So what should you do? Exactly?
308
00:14:41.230 --> 00:14:44.380
How does God expect you to respond?
309
00:14:44.380 --> 00:14:46.780
Or maybe you've got family
members who don't like
310
00:14:46.780 --> 00:14:49.150
what you're doing or the
course of action you're taking
311
00:14:49.150 --> 00:14:52.190
with your life, but you can't
swap out for another family.
312
00:14:52.190 --> 00:14:54.050
They are your family.
313
00:14:54.050 --> 00:14:57.320
How does God expect you to respond
314
00:14:57.320 --> 00:15:01.580
to your loved ones when you
feel they misunderstand you
315
00:15:01.580 --> 00:15:03.800
or they are mistreating you?
316
00:15:03.800 --> 00:15:05.510
It's very important that
you understand how to deal
317
00:15:05.510 --> 00:15:07.910
with your family because
your family is your family.
318
00:15:07.910 --> 00:15:11.030
You cannot swap them
out for another family.
319
00:15:11.030 --> 00:15:13.550
But when you look at all of this, you find
320
00:15:13.550 --> 00:15:16.880
that in moments like this, we
need to go to the blackboard.
321
00:15:16.880 --> 00:15:19.670
We need to look at the example of Jesus
322
00:15:19.670 --> 00:15:23.660
and see how Jesus responded
when he was in similar
323
00:15:23.660 --> 00:15:24.710
circumstances.
324
00:15:24.710 --> 00:15:26.180
He is the blackboard,
325
00:15:26.180 --> 00:15:29.600
and our job is to study him in the gospels
326
00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:32.810
and learn to copy every
stroke of the Master.
327
00:15:32.810 --> 00:15:36.590
He is the Master we are
to see how he responded,
328
00:15:36.590 --> 00:15:41.150
what he said, what he
didn't say, how he forgave.
329
00:15:41.150 --> 00:15:45.440
We're to study every
single stroke of the Master
330
00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:50.270
until finally we replicate
his behavior in our own life.
331
00:15:50.270 --> 00:15:52.070
Say - Amen.
332
00:15:52.070 --> 00:15:56.660
But wait, 1 Peter 2:21 goes on to say
333
00:15:56.660 --> 00:16:01.190
that we should follow in Jesus steps.
334
00:16:01.190 --> 00:16:02.360
What does that word, steps, mean?
335
00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:05.150
It's actually the word for a footprint
336
00:16:05.150 --> 00:16:07.820
that we should follow in his footprints.
337
00:16:07.820 --> 00:16:09.500
Well, let me tell you a story.
338
00:16:09.500 --> 00:16:11.780
When Denise and I were beginning our traveling ministry
339
00:16:11.780 --> 00:16:15.080
many, many years ago,
sometimes we would drive up
340
00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:17.630
and down the coast of
Oregon preaching in churches
341
00:16:17.630 --> 00:16:21.230
as we went and our young
sons were in the car with us.
342
00:16:21.230 --> 00:16:23.630
So sometimes as we were traveling
343
00:16:23.630 --> 00:16:27.080
and preaching, we would stop and we'd walk out on the beach.
344
00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:30.650
And I loved to make big footprints
345
00:16:30.650 --> 00:16:34.550
and then challenge my boys to step in my footprints
346
00:16:34.550 --> 00:16:36.770
behind me and just for fun,
347
00:16:36.770 --> 00:16:39.620
sometimes I'd make the footprints very close.
348
00:16:39.620 --> 00:16:43.730
Sometimes I'd make the footprints really spaced far apart.
349
00:16:43.730 --> 00:16:46.430
Sometimes I'd go this way
and then I'd go this way.
350
00:16:46.430 --> 00:16:51.170
And the assignment of our boys
was to step in my footprints;
351
00:16:51.170 --> 00:16:52.910
not to make their own,
352
00:16:52.910 --> 00:16:56.810
but to follow me exactly in my footprints.
353
00:16:56.810 --> 00:16:59.690
And I would turn around
and I would see the boys
354
00:16:59.690 --> 00:17:01.430
and they were so carefully trying
355
00:17:01.430 --> 00:17:05.300
to put their little feet
right in my footprints closely
356
00:17:05.300 --> 00:17:08.270
together or leaping from
one footprint to the next
357
00:17:08.270 --> 00:17:11.360
or following me this way
and following me that way.
358
00:17:11.360 --> 00:17:15.260
But they were walking
exactly in my footprints.
359
00:17:15.260 --> 00:17:18.470
That is exactly what Peter means in 1 Peter
360
00:17:18.470 --> 00:17:22.700
2:21, when he says that we should follow in Jesus steps.
361
00:17:22.700 --> 00:17:25.670
We are to put our feet in the footprints,
362
00:17:25.670 --> 00:17:27.650
which means we don't have
363
00:17:27.650 --> 00:17:31.640
to figure everything out when
we're in a difficult spot.
364
00:17:31.640 --> 00:17:34.310
It's time for us to look at what Jesus did
365
00:17:34.310 --> 00:17:36.230
and say, all right, Jesus,
366
00:17:36.230 --> 00:17:38.000
we're gonna put our
feet in your footprints.
367
00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:41.090
We're gonna follow you. We're
gonna do exactly what you did.
368
00:17:41.090 --> 00:17:45.200
And sometimes it will be easy,
sometimes it will be a leap.
369
00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:47.510
And sometimes we may
feel we're going this way
370
00:17:47.510 --> 00:17:50.130
and we're going this way,
but rather than figure it out
371
00:17:50.130 --> 00:17:52.290
by ourself, we are bound
372
00:17:52.290 --> 00:17:55.710
and determined not only
to copy every stroke
373
00:17:55.710 --> 00:17:57.750
of the Master in our behavior,
374
00:17:57.750 --> 00:18:01.170
but to walk exactly in the footprints that you have left
375
00:18:01.170 --> 00:18:06.120
for us and to replicate exactly what you did in your life,
376
00:18:06.120 --> 00:18:07.470
in our own life.
377
00:18:07.470 --> 00:18:09.810
And this means we have to focus on Jesus.
378
00:18:09.810 --> 00:18:11.850
If you're gonna walk in
his footprints, you need
379
00:18:11.850 --> 00:18:12.900
to be reading the Bible.
380
00:18:12.900 --> 00:18:16.050
You need to be studying what
Jesus did, what he didn't do,
381
00:18:16.050 --> 00:18:17.340
how he responded.
382
00:18:17.340 --> 00:18:19.230
And then you need to
say, all right, Jesus,
383
00:18:19.230 --> 00:18:21.660
I'm gonna do it the way that you did it.
384
00:18:21.660 --> 00:18:24.330
And the good news is
you have the Holy Spirit
385
00:18:24.330 --> 00:18:26.400
present to help you.
386
00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:29.940
But my friends, the answers
you need about how to respond
387
00:18:29.940 --> 00:18:31.140
to injustice
388
00:18:31.140 --> 00:18:35.190
and unfair situations
can be found in the life
389
00:18:35.190 --> 00:18:36.540
of Jesus.
390
00:18:37.890 --> 00:18:41.280
Jesus is your chief example.
Jesus is your teacher.
391
00:18:41.280 --> 00:18:46.280
Jesus is your mentor, the one that you are called to copy
392
00:18:46.380 --> 00:18:48.330
and to follow.
393
00:18:49.470 --> 00:18:52.500
So in addition to just
saying, God, give me wisdom.
394
00:18:52.500 --> 00:18:55.170
Show me what to do. You need
to go to the scriptures.
395
00:18:55.170 --> 00:18:57.210
You need to go to the four gospels
396
00:18:57.210 --> 00:18:59.910
as we have been doing
in these 15 programs,
397
00:18:59.910 --> 00:19:04.170
and really look at how Jesus
responded when he himself was
398
00:19:04.170 --> 00:19:07.230
in unfair and in unjust situations.
399
00:19:07.230 --> 00:19:11.250
And then you need to copy
every stroke of the Master
400
00:19:11.250 --> 00:19:15.570
and you need to follow
exactly in his footprints.
401
00:19:15.570 --> 00:19:19.170
My friends, the soldiers spat on Jesus.
402
00:19:19.170 --> 00:19:21.420
Pilate ordered him to be scourged.
403
00:19:21.420 --> 00:19:23.730
Pilate ordered him to be crucified.
404
00:19:23.730 --> 00:19:25.830
The religious leaders laughed at him.
405
00:19:25.830 --> 00:19:30.000
He was betrayed by one
of his closest disciples.
406
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:33.420
But yet Jesus continued to walk in love.
407
00:19:33.420 --> 00:19:35.640
He forgave every one of them,
408
00:19:35.640 --> 00:19:39.720
and he is the perfect
example to show us how
409
00:19:39.720 --> 00:19:42.210
to do the same.
410
00:19:42.210 --> 00:19:44.730
So here's what I have to say to you.
411
00:19:44.730 --> 00:19:49.020
If you are facing difficult
times, if you feel
412
00:19:49.020 --> 00:19:51.900
that you're being accused of
things that you had nothing
413
00:19:51.900 --> 00:19:55.530
to do with, if you feel
you're being mistreated
414
00:19:55.530 --> 00:19:58.170
or if you feel you're being
discriminated against,
415
00:19:58.170 --> 00:20:00.240
rather than try to figure out by yourself
416
00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:03.930
what you're supposed to
do, go to the scriptures
417
00:20:03.930 --> 00:20:07.050
And just like a student
who watches a teacher,
418
00:20:07.050 --> 00:20:08.880
write the alphabet on the blackboard,
419
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:10.980
and then a child who takes his pencil
420
00:20:10.980 --> 00:20:14.010
and begins to copy, you
need to copy every stroke
421
00:20:14.010 --> 00:20:18.000
of the Master and try to replicate exactly what Jesus did.
422
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:21.000
And rather than try to figure
out all by yourself what
423
00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:25.470
to do, you need to put your feet in the footprints of Jesus
424
00:20:25.470 --> 00:20:28.050
and follow the example
that he left for us.
425
00:20:28.050 --> 00:20:31.410
And if you'll take this
approach to the challenges
426
00:20:31.410 --> 00:20:33.840
that you're facing that
seems so distressing,
427
00:20:34.800 --> 00:20:36.660
the Holy Spirit will empower you.
428
00:20:36.660 --> 00:20:39.450
He really will. And
you'll be able to respond
429
00:20:39.450 --> 00:20:43.830
to every situation more
like Jesus and my friend.
430
00:20:43.830 --> 00:20:46.200
I know that's what you want to do.
431
00:20:46.200 --> 00:20:50.680
So make it your goal to
study the life of Jesus,
432
00:20:50.680 --> 00:20:52.630
to study the example of Jesus,
433
00:20:52.630 --> 00:20:55.930
especially his final days on
the earth when he was in such
434
00:20:55.930 --> 00:20:57.580
difficult situations,
435
00:20:57.580 --> 00:21:02.410
and then endeavor to copy
every stroke of the Master
436
00:21:02.410 --> 00:21:06.040
and to step in his
footprints along the way;
437
00:21:06.040 --> 00:21:10.660
study the strokes of the Master, following his footprints,
438
00:21:10.660 --> 00:21:14.740
press forward by faith to replicate his actions.
439
00:21:14.740 --> 00:21:17.800
Do as he did in every challenge you face,
440
00:21:17.800 --> 00:21:19.300
and lean on the Holy Spirit
441
00:21:19.300 --> 00:21:22.990
because he is the one who will empower you
442
00:21:22.990 --> 00:21:27.990
to do it well, all the way to the end.
443
00:21:28.450 --> 00:21:33.100
That's why I call today's program - Copy Every Stroke
444
00:21:33.100 --> 00:21:37.210
of the Master and Walk in the Footsteps of Jesus.
445
00:21:37.210 --> 00:21:39.010
That is God's call to you
446
00:21:39.010 --> 00:21:42.550
and me in one Peter 2:
447
00:21:42.550 --> 00:21:44.680
verse 21.
448
00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:48.640
Wow. Well, I'll be back in just a moment
449
00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:49.930
and then I'm going to pray for you.
450
00:21:58.390 --> 00:22:00.940
If you could go back to
when you were 20 years old,
451
00:22:00.940 --> 00:22:03.640
what advice would you give
yourself to do differently?
452
00:22:04.900 --> 00:22:08.860
Well, when I was 20 years
old, I was on a good track
453
00:22:08.860 --> 00:22:10.960
in pursuing the call of God on my life.
454
00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:14.590
But one thing I did not understand when I was 20,
455
00:22:14.590 --> 00:22:17.590
and that was money; I didn't have any experience with money.
456
00:22:17.590 --> 00:22:20.740
I grew up in a home where we
did not have a lot of money.
457
00:22:20.740 --> 00:22:23.590
So my dad never taught
me how to manage money.
458
00:22:23.590 --> 00:22:24.940
And when I was 20 years old,
459
00:22:24.940 --> 00:22:28.390
I did not have a clue about finances.
460
00:22:28.390 --> 00:22:30.430
I look at you and the way
461
00:22:30.430 --> 00:22:33.370
that you've really Mastered this subject very early in your
462
00:22:33.370 --> 00:22:35.710
life and it's really helped you, Joel.
463
00:22:35.710 --> 00:22:39.520
And if I could go back to a
young 20-year-old Rick runner,
464
00:22:39.520 --> 00:22:42.340
I would've advised that Rick
Runner to really learn how
465
00:22:42.340 --> 00:22:43.600
to manage finances.
466
00:22:43.600 --> 00:22:46.840
Now, today, I'm a very
good financial manager,
467
00:22:46.840 --> 00:22:48.160
but when I was 20 years old,
468
00:22:49.030 --> 00:22:51.460
I really didn't know anything about money.
469
00:22:51.460 --> 00:22:52.720
And you know the old phrase says,
470
00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:54.640
money makes the world go around.
471
00:22:54.640 --> 00:22:56.530
If you don't get it right
when it comes to money,
472
00:22:56.530 --> 00:22:58.270
you are in trouble.
473
00:22:58.270 --> 00:23:00.580
So I would've told a younger Rick Renner
474
00:23:00.580 --> 00:23:03.040
to do better at learning
how to manage money.
475
00:23:03.970 --> 00:23:07.540
Are you tired of the same
watered down Easter sermons?
476
00:23:07.540 --> 00:23:11.260
Rick Renner has a solution. In his new series, Easter -
477
00:23:11.260 --> 00:23:12.640
The Rest of the Story,
478
00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:17.050
Rick explores the raw unfiltered aspects of sacrifice.
479
00:23:17.050 --> 00:23:18.550
This series is an opportunity
480
00:23:18.550 --> 00:23:22.060
to rediscover the profound spiritual significance of Easter
481
00:23:22.060 --> 00:23:24.250
and its lasting impact on our lives
482
00:23:24.250 --> 00:23:27.790
today. In this powerful, 15-part series, you'll learn:
483
00:23:27.790 --> 00:23:31.270
How many soldiers it took to arrest Jesus - The reality
484
00:23:31.270 --> 00:23:35.290
of Judas Kiss of betrayal- The horror of a Roman scourging -
485
00:23:35.290 --> 00:23:36.700
The miraculous details
486
00:23:36.700 --> 00:23:39.310
of Jesus's resurrection available in digital

This teaching holds the life-changing revelation in the
489
00:23:45.740 --> 00:23:48.200
details of Jesus' death, burial,
490
00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:51.410
and resurrection, which are
the cornerstone of our faith.
491
00:23:51.410 --> 00:23:53.900
His death was not just a tragic event,
492
00:23:53.900 --> 00:23:57.560
it was a purposeful act of love that fulfilled God's plan
493
00:23:57.560 --> 00:23:59.630
for redemption by taking on the weight
494
00:23:59.630 --> 00:24:00.860
of our transgressions.
495
00:24:00.860 --> 00:24:03.800
Jesus bridged the gap
between sinful humanity
496
00:24:03.800 --> 00:24:05.060
and a holy God.
497
00:24:05.060 --> 00:24:07.670

498
00:24:07.670 --> 00:24:10.790

509
00:24:39.715 --> 00:24:43.730
Well, today I just wrapped up my teaching called Easter -
510
00:24:43.730 --> 00:24:45.680
The Rest of the Story.
511
00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:50.210
And in these 15 programs
we've studied all the events
512
00:24:50.210 --> 00:24:53.540
that Jesus went through in
the days before his trial
513
00:24:53.540 --> 00:24:55.100
and his crucifixion.
514
00:24:55.100 --> 00:24:57.530
We've looked at his
burial, his resurrection,
515
00:24:57.530 --> 00:24:59.600
the eyewitnesses of his resurrection,
516
00:24:59.600 --> 00:25:02.120
and we've seen what Jesus has been doing
517
00:25:02.120 --> 00:25:05.390
and what he is doing right
now at the right hand
518
00:25:05.390 --> 00:25:06.860
of the Father on high.
519
00:25:06.860 --> 00:25:09.350
And today we have seen the charge
520
00:25:09.350 --> 00:25:12.560
of scripture in 1 Peter 2:21,
521
00:25:12.560 --> 00:25:16.130
that we are to make it our
goal to copy every stroke
522
00:25:16.130 --> 00:25:18.350
of the Master, that's Jesus,
523
00:25:18.350 --> 00:25:22.730
and to walk in his footprints and we can do it
524
00:25:22.730 --> 00:25:25.940
and we have the Holy Spirit to help us.
525
00:25:25.940 --> 00:25:27.890
But if you need prayer, reach out to us.
526
00:25:27.890 --> 00:25:29.390
We'll pray with you.
527
00:25:29.390 --> 00:25:32.690
Maybe you need wisdom for what
you're facing in your life
528
00:25:32.690 --> 00:25:35.030
and you just wish there was a voice
529
00:25:35.030 --> 00:25:36.590
that would agree with you in prayer.
530
00:25:36.590 --> 00:25:39.530
Or if you wish, you can send us an email
531
00:25:39.530 --> 00:25:41.150
and as soon as we get your email,
532
00:25:41.150 --> 00:25:42.680
we're gonna release our faith
533
00:25:42.680 --> 00:25:47.000
and we're gonna pray for
Jesus to move in your life.
534
00:25:47.000 --> 00:25:49.040
Then I wanna pray for you right now.
535
00:25:49.040 --> 00:25:51.770
So put your hand on your
heart and let's pray together.
536
00:25:51.770 --> 00:25:55.460
Father, I thank you for the
amazing example of Jesus,
537
00:25:55.460 --> 00:25:58.825
which we have seen in these 15 programs called,
538
00:25:58.825 --> 00:26:00.050
Easter - The Rest of the Story.
539
00:26:00.050 --> 00:26:03.350
And thank you for this deep
dive into scripture to learn
540
00:26:03.350 --> 00:26:05.570
so many things about your passion
541
00:26:05.570 --> 00:26:07.670
that we've never heard before.
542
00:26:07.670 --> 00:26:10.670
And Father, as we wrap it up
today, we take the expectation
543
00:26:10.670 --> 00:26:13.670
of scripture that we
would walk in your steps
544
00:26:13.670 --> 00:26:16.400
and we would copy your
example in our life.
545
00:26:16.400 --> 00:26:21.320
And Holy Spirit, we ask you to
help us understand how Jesus
546
00:26:21.320 --> 00:26:23.720
reacted and responded to every situation
547
00:26:23.720 --> 00:26:27.620
and help us to replicate
it in our lives so
548
00:26:27.620 --> 00:26:30.650
that we are more like Jesus.
549
00:26:30.650 --> 00:26:35.240
I pray this in Jesus' wonderful name - Amen.
550
00:26:35.240 --> 00:26:37.190
Help is available for you.
551
00:26:37.190 --> 00:26:41.240
So go boldly to the throne of grace.
552
00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:42.860
But thank you for being with me.
553
00:26:42.860 --> 00:26:46.500
And as I close, I wanna remind you of Ecclesiastes 8:4,
554
00:26:46.500 --> 00:26:51.500
it says, "Where the word of a king is, there is power."
555
00:26:51.600 --> 00:26:53.880
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
556
00:26:53.880 --> 00:26:58.260
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
557
00:26:58.260 --> 00:27:00.450
Jesus has to give you.
558
00:27:00.450 --> 00:27:05.040
Pray this prayer with me right now; Lord, I repent
559
00:27:05.040 --> 00:27:08.520
of my sin and receive you as my Savior
560
00:27:08.520 --> 00:27:11.490
and Lord. Wash away my sin
561
00:27:11.490 --> 00:27:14.520
and make me completely new.
562
00:27:14.520 --> 00:27:18.270
I thank you that my sin is removed
563
00:27:18.270 --> 00:27:23.270
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
564
00:27:23.850 --> 00:27:27.870
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
565
00:27:27.870 --> 00:27:29.520
for the rest of my life.
566
00:27:30.390 --> 00:27:31.390
Amen.
567
00:27:34.560 --> 00:27:37.175
If you just prayed the
prayer of salvation with us,
568
00:27:37.175 --> 00:27:39.300
