<v ->This program is made
possible by the giving</v>

2
00:00:04.230 --> 00:00:08.280
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.

3
00:00:08.280 --> 00:00:11.520
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit

4
00:00:11.520 --> 00:00:15.090
and your mind where the
word is the anchor in

5
00:00:15.090 --> 00:00:17.070
uncertain times

6
00:00:17.070 --> 00:00:20.370
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.

7
00:00:20.370 --> 00:00:21.780
We keep it simple,

8
00:00:21.780 --> 00:00:26.370
but dive deep, revealing a
truth that strengthens us,

9
00:00:27.240 --> 00:00:29.160
a love that emboldens,

10
00:00:30.270 --> 00:00:32.400
and a mission that touches the world.

11
00:00:34.740 --> 00:00:38.460
Let's join Rick  Renner.

12
00:00:38.460 --> 00:00:39.600
Welcome to today's program.

13
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:44.600
My name is Rick Renner and this is a Week of Thanksgiving.

14
00:00:44.730 --> 00:00:45.780
And I'm here with Mr.

15
00:00:45.780 --> 00:00:50.070
Joel Renner, with Paul Renner
and with Denise Renner.

16
00:00:50.070 --> 00:00:53.190
Phillip is in the United
States doing his ministry,

17
00:00:53.190 --> 00:00:54.870
but we four Renner are here.

18
00:00:54.870 --> 00:00:57.775
And we're really glad to be together, aren't we? Absolutely.

19
00:00:57.775 --> 00:01:00.750
<v ->Absolutely. We're so
excited to be together.</v>

20
00:01:00.750 --> 00:01:03.360
<v ->It's always fun when
we can get together.</v>

21
00:01:03.360 --> 00:01:05.100
But I want to begin with
the scripture today.

22
00:01:05.100 --> 00:01:09.420
Are you ready for this? Psalm 100:4-5 says,

23
00:01:09.420 --> 00:01:12.240
Enter his gates with Thanksgiving.

24
00:01:12.240 --> 00:01:15.990
<v ->Thanksgiving, - Not with complaining, not with murmuring,</v>

25
00:01:15.990 --> 00:01:17.850
but you're to enter his gates with

26
00:01:17.850 --> 00:01:20.190
<v ->thanksgiving</v>

27
00:01:20.190 --> 00:01:23.760
and his courts with praise.

28
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:26.970
Give thanks to him and praise his name.

29
00:01:26.970 --> 00:01:29.730
For the Lord is good in
his love endures forever.

30
00:01:29.730 --> 00:01:34.380
His faithfulness continues
through all generations.

31
00:01:34.380 --> 00:01:37.800
And this week, every day,
we are giving thanks.

32
00:01:37.800 --> 00:01:39.750
This is a Week of Thanksgiving.

33
00:01:39.750 --> 00:01:42.210
That's why we've got a turkey on the table

34
00:01:42.210 --> 00:01:45.390
because it is American
Thanksgiving this week.

35
00:01:46.230 --> 00:01:48.240
And by the way, we want you to guess

36
00:01:48.240 --> 00:01:50.280
how big do you think that turkey is?

37
00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:52.650
We want you to talk to us. Go online.

38
00:01:52.650 --> 00:01:54.690
How big do you think the turkey is?

39
00:01:54.690 --> 00:01:57.270
<v ->I have a clue. I'll give you a clue.</v>

40
00:01:57.270 --> 00:02:02.070
At like 400, 350 degrees, it took

41
00:02:02.070 --> 00:02:03.750
6 hours to cook.

42
00:02:03.750 --> 00:02:07.440
<v ->Wow. And in Russia,
they don't have big ovens,</v>

43
00:02:07.440 --> 00:02:10.500
and that is a very big turkey.

44
00:02:10.500 --> 00:02:15.000
So you have to just cram it
into the oven. But we did it.

45
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:16.740
But how big do you think the turkey is?

46
00:02:16.740 --> 00:02:18.690
And by the way, Paul,

47
00:02:18.690 --> 00:02:21.150
what is your favorite piece of the turkey?

48
00:02:21.150 --> 00:02:23.700
<v ->Oh, well I like to carve it,</v>

49
00:02:23.700 --> 00:02:27.930
but my favorite is, is the white meat.

50
00:02:27.930 --> 00:02:31.200
But what I like the most about

51
00:02:31.200 --> 00:02:35.190
it is watching you eat
your favorite piece.

52
00:02:35.190 --> 00:02:38.250
<v ->And what is my favorite
piece? The wings and the legs.</v>

53
00:02:38.250 --> 00:02:42.780
I love the wing because it's
crunchy. Yes. The The skin.

54
00:02:42.780 --> 00:02:44.070
And I love the skin. Okay.

55
00:02:44.070 --> 00:02:45.630
Denise, what is your favorite part?

56
00:02:46.530 --> 00:02:49.530
<v ->Well, sometimes it's the white meat,</v>

57
00:02:49.530 --> 00:02:52.230
but sometimes it's the dark meat.

58
00:02:52.230 --> 00:02:54.150
<v ->Alright, Joel. I like the dark meat.</v>

59
00:02:54.150 --> 00:02:56.100
It feels more juicy to me.

60
00:02:56.100 --> 00:02:58.440
Well, unfortunately, the legs

61
00:02:58.440 --> 00:03:00.940
of this little bird got
a little burned this year

62
00:03:00.940 --> 00:03:02.680
because it was so big

63
00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:05.830
<v ->Yes - that when we pushed it into the oven,</v>

64
00:03:05.830 --> 00:03:08.320
those legs were just
too close to the heat.

65
00:03:08.320 --> 00:03:10.180
Anyway, we want you to tell us

66
00:03:10.180 --> 00:03:12.190
how big do you think the turkey is

67
00:03:12.190 --> 00:03:15.550
and how big is the turkey
that you cook for your family?

68
00:03:15.550 --> 00:03:20.230
Do you know? One year we
had a 42 pound turkey.

69
00:03:20.230 --> 00:03:23.260
It was like a little
dinosaur from the table.

70
00:03:24.670 --> 00:03:28.510
Oh my goodness. But you
know what? We're thankful.

71
00:03:28.510 --> 00:03:30.700
We are thankful. And as we
said yesterday, you have

72
00:03:30.700 --> 00:03:34.180
to be very intentional
about being thankful.

73
00:03:34.180 --> 00:03:36.970
It's very easy for you to make a list of

74
00:03:36.970 --> 00:03:38.590
what you're not happy about,

75
00:03:38.590 --> 00:03:41.500
what are your complaints, what
you wish would be different.

76
00:03:41.500 --> 00:03:43.210
People can think about that real fast.

77
00:03:43.210 --> 00:03:46.270
People say, well, I wish
my relationship was better.

78
00:03:46.270 --> 00:03:48.100
Well, I wish that I had more money.

79
00:03:48.100 --> 00:03:49.750
Well, I wish that my bills were paid.

80
00:03:49.750 --> 00:03:53.020
I mean, people could come up with that list real fast.

81
00:03:53.020 --> 00:03:56.200
But you've gotta be intentional about thinking about

82
00:03:56.200 --> 00:03:57.370
what you're thankful for.

83
00:03:58.330 --> 00:03:59.860
And every day this week, you need

84
00:03:59.860 --> 00:04:02.020
to wake up and make a list.

85
00:04:02.020 --> 00:04:03.880
This is a Week of Thanksgiving

86
00:04:03.880 --> 00:04:05.410
and when you meet with your family

87
00:04:05.410 --> 00:04:08.740
and your friends on Thanksgiving Day, I'm gonna say it again

88
00:04:08.740 --> 00:04:12.760
<v ->before you dive into the food, go around the table</v>

89
00:04:12.760 --> 00:04:15.790
and each of you express
what you're thankful for.

90
00:04:16.660 --> 00:04:18.130
You don't have to take a long time,

91
00:04:18.130 --> 00:04:19.840
just take a moment or two.

92
00:04:19.840 --> 00:04:21.040
Go as long as you want to go.

93
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:23.470
The food's not gonna go anywhere.

94
00:04:23.470 --> 00:04:25.660
And just begin to say what you're thankful for.

95
00:04:25.660 --> 00:04:27.760
<v ->Paul - I've got one. I'm thankful to you.</v>

96
00:04:28.630 --> 00:04:32.950
When I was 6, 7

97
00:04:32.950 --> 00:04:34.120
or 8, I don't know,

98
00:04:35.080 --> 00:04:37.420
you had asked me if I read my Bible today

99
00:04:37.420 --> 00:04:39.610
and I was supposed to
read a chapter a day.

100
00:04:39.610 --> 00:04:44.500
And so I found the shortest
chapter in the Bible.

101
00:04:44.500 --> 00:04:48.040
At least that's what I
thought it was. Psalms 100.

102
00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:50.350
And of course it's the
Psalms about giving thanks.

103
00:04:50.350 --> 00:04:51.430
And so I memorized it.

104
00:04:51.430 --> 00:04:54.250
And every time you said, have
you read your Bible today?

105
00:04:54.250 --> 00:04:58.120
I said, of course. I read a whole chapter.

106
00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:00.190
I read the smallest chapter in the Bible.

107
00:05:00.190 --> 00:05:01.360
Smallest one I could find.

108
00:05:03.280 --> 00:05:08.280
But Psalms 100 has been with me ever since, smallest or not,

109
00:05:08.440 --> 00:05:10.090
it's been a powerful chapter.

110
00:05:10.090 --> 00:05:12.100
<v ->Well, it is</v>
<v ->Powerful that I've carried</v>

111
00:05:12.100 --> 00:05:14.380
with me all the time.

112
00:05:14.380 --> 00:05:15.700
<v ->By the way, I'm still asking you</v>

113
00:05:15.700 --> 00:05:16.780
if you're reading your Bible.

114
00:05:16.780 --> 00:05:21.160
<v ->Yes, - We have a rule in
our home. No Bible, no food.</v>

115
00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:23.230
And so I'm, I'm asking all the time.

116
00:05:23.230 --> 00:05:24.430
In fact, I asked you this morning,

117
00:05:24.430 --> 00:05:25.630
Joel, did you read your Bible?

118
00:05:25.630 --> 00:05:29.110
I did. And I asked you, and
yes I did. I read my Bible.

119
00:05:29.110 --> 00:05:30.580
I asked Paul, I asked Denise,

120
00:05:30.580 --> 00:05:33.940
I asked my whole team every
day, did you read your Bible?

121
00:05:33.940 --> 00:05:37.180
Because it is important
that we read our bibles.

122
00:05:37.180 --> 00:05:39.820
<v ->I wanna say something. Alright. Okay.</v>

123
00:05:39.820 --> 00:05:43.690
Well I was thinking about

124
00:05:43.690 --> 00:05:45.400
being thankful.

125
00:05:45.400 --> 00:05:49.000
And in Philippians
where Paul was suffering

126
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:54.000
so terribly, I mean he starts out the book

127
00:05:54.010 --> 00:05:59.010
with - I thank my God upon every remembrance of you

128
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:03.020
and his starting out,

129
00:06:03.020 --> 00:06:05.690
he starts thanking.

130
00:06:05.690 --> 00:06:08.960
And it's a powerful thing

131
00:06:08.960 --> 00:06:13.400
to start your day with being thankful.

132
00:06:13.400 --> 00:06:17.450
And like Rick just said, you
have to do it on purpose.

133
00:06:17.450 --> 00:06:21.680
Most people don't get out of their bed and just, hallelujah

134
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:24.590
glory to God. Most people don't do that.

135
00:06:24.590 --> 00:06:29.000
But we can put on thanksgiving on purpose.

136
00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:30.980
And many, many years ago

137
00:06:31.970 --> 00:06:34.250
talking about being thankful on purpose,

138
00:06:35.690 --> 00:06:39.920
my personality was kind of melancholy.

139
00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:41.630
<v ->Are you sure?</v>
<v ->Yeah.</v>

140
00:06:41.630 --> 00:06:45.440
And and my dad, when I was growing up

141
00:06:45.440 --> 00:06:48.860
and I'd come to the breakfast
table, he'd say, well,

142
00:06:48.860 --> 00:06:51.620
here comes the bear to
the breakfast table.

143
00:06:51.620 --> 00:06:54.500
<v ->Now Denise, people would
never know that about you,</v>

144
00:06:54.500 --> 00:06:56.510
but you really have had
to overcome that side.

145
00:06:56.510 --> 00:07:00.650
<v ->Yes. And part of it was
about, oh, I don't know, 10</v>

146
00:07:00.650 --> 00:07:03.590
or 12 years ago, God was talking

147
00:07:03.590 --> 00:07:07.250
to me about my mood when
I got up in the morning.

148
00:07:07.250 --> 00:07:10.610
And so he mentioned that scripture to me.

149
00:07:10.610 --> 00:07:12.740
This is the day the Lord has made.

150
00:07:12.740 --> 00:07:16.190
I will rejoice and be glad in it.

151
00:07:16.190 --> 00:07:19.160
So I thought, okay, well that's,

152
00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:20.570
that's what I'm going to do.

153
00:07:20.570 --> 00:07:22.760
So I got my feet out of the bed

154
00:07:22.760 --> 00:07:26.540
and I went over to the mirror
and I looked in the mirror

155
00:07:26.540 --> 00:07:29.570
and I said, this is the day

156
00:07:29.570 --> 00:07:31.820
that the Lord has made.

157
00:07:31.820 --> 00:07:36.440
We will rejoice and be glad in it.

158
00:07:36.440 --> 00:07:40.040
And I had to say it over and over again.

159
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:43.670
But it's a decision to be joyful.

160
00:07:43.670 --> 00:07:45.980
It's a decision to be thankful.

161
00:07:45.980 --> 00:07:47.480
And I wanna say this about Thanksgiving.

162
00:07:48.860 --> 00:07:51.980
It's impossible to complain

163
00:07:51.980 --> 00:07:54.140
and be thankful at the same time.

164
00:07:54.140 --> 00:07:58.400
And you'll probably never find
a person who's complaining.

165
00:07:58.400 --> 00:08:02.540
Their attitude is complaining - who's happy.

166
00:08:02.540 --> 00:08:05.240
But a person who's thankful,

167
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:08.600
you'll rarely find them depressed

168
00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:12.080
because they've pushed
away that complaining

169
00:08:12.080 --> 00:08:15.590
and they've embraced thanksgiving.

170
00:08:15.590 --> 00:08:20.300
And so Rick thankfulness is such a choice.

171
00:08:20.300 --> 00:08:23.960
<v ->You know, if anybody says,
Hey Rick, how are you today?</v>

172
00:08:23.960 --> 00:08:26.180
I always answer one way, thankful.

173
00:08:27.170 --> 00:08:29.300
That is my automatic answer.

174
00:08:29.300 --> 00:08:32.330
And that's a choice. I am choosing

175
00:08:32.330 --> 00:08:34.940
<v ->there is something to be thankful for.</v>

176
00:08:34.940 --> 00:08:36.590
Now, you might be saying,
well, just tell me

177
00:08:36.590 --> 00:08:38.750
what in the world I
have to be thankful for.

178
00:08:38.750 --> 00:08:40.280
You've got a roof over your head.

179
00:08:41.180 --> 00:08:45.050
You've got food to eat, you've
got electricity in your home.

180
00:08:45.050 --> 00:08:47.510
You can think of something
that you're thankful for.

181
00:08:48.470 --> 00:08:50.900
And as we said yesterday, when you begin

182
00:08:50.900 --> 00:08:54.110
to express thanksgiving,
it charges the atmosphere.

183
00:08:54.110 --> 00:08:56.820
It literally changes the atmosphere

184
00:08:56.820 --> 00:08:58.560
and it brings the presence of God.

185
00:08:58.560 --> 00:09:00.240
Now, Denise used the word mood.

186
00:09:01.170 --> 00:09:04.230
Well, I don't believe Christians should be moody people,

187
00:09:04.230 --> 00:09:07.020
we should not be governed by moods.

188
00:09:07.020 --> 00:09:10.590
But when you choose to be thankful, whether you feel like it

189
00:09:10.590 --> 00:09:13.410
or not, you are setting the course for your day.

190
00:09:13.410 --> 00:09:14.940
You're setting the course of what kind

191
00:09:14.940 --> 00:09:16.410
of mood you're gonna have.

192
00:09:16.410 --> 00:09:18.810
You literally change the atmosphere.

193
00:09:19.890 --> 00:09:22.740
And so if somebody says
to you, how are you?

194
00:09:22.740 --> 00:09:25.860
Rather than say, Ugh, why did you ask?

195
00:09:26.700 --> 00:09:28.590
Why didn't you just say thankful?

196
00:09:29.580 --> 00:09:31.860
I'm thankful I got up this morning.

197
00:09:33.150 --> 00:09:36.780
I have breath in my lungs. I've got a job.

198
00:09:36.780 --> 00:09:37.860
I've got food on my table.

199
00:09:37.860 --> 00:09:39.630
May not be the kind of food that I want,

200
00:09:39.630 --> 00:09:41.130
but I do have something to eat.

201
00:09:41.130 --> 00:09:44.280
We all have something that we can be.

202
00:09:44.280 --> 00:09:47.070
thankful for - Paul.

203
00:09:47.070 --> 00:09:50.310
<v ->I came today with a little
bit of a show and tell.</v>

204
00:09:50.310 --> 00:09:51.960
<v ->Okay, well what is it?</v>

205
00:09:51.960 --> 00:09:56.960
<v ->My Bible? And this is a special Bible. I have 2 Bibles.</v>

206
00:09:57.150 --> 00:09:59.130
Well, I have many bibles,
but I have two that I use.

207
00:09:59.130 --> 00:10:01.110
One in English and one in Russian.

208
00:10:01.110 --> 00:10:03.450
And this Bible was given to me,

209
00:10:03.450 --> 00:10:07.350
and some of you may know, by Erliter Renner, my grandmother.

210
00:10:08.730 --> 00:10:10.380
And she wrote me something
here in the Bible,

211
00:10:10.380 --> 00:10:11.460
right here at the beginning.

212
00:10:11.460 --> 00:10:14.700
She wrote me something and she says, Paul,

213
00:10:16.650 --> 00:10:17.910
we love you so much.

214
00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:23.960
I know this Bible will
be basis for your life.

215
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:27.570
You have such a bright
mind and sweet spirit

216
00:10:27.570 --> 00:10:29.220
and so many gifts.

217
00:10:29.220 --> 00:10:31.350
I see so much of Jesus in you.

218
00:10:31.350 --> 00:10:32.820
Enjoy this Bible

219
00:10:32.820 --> 00:10:36.810
and know how much you are loved: Grandpa and Grandma.

220
00:10:36.810 --> 00:10:41.520
So of course I'm grateful for my grandparents.

221
00:10:41.520 --> 00:10:44.460
Of course they're in heaven now.

222
00:10:44.460 --> 00:10:47.280
But they were wonderful example of faith.

223
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:52.500
And I'm grateful for this Bible.

224
00:10:52.500 --> 00:10:55.710
It's kind of fallen apart,
but it's, I cherish it now.

225
00:10:55.710 --> 00:11:00.710
So when we talk about things
that we are grateful for,

226
00:11:01.110 --> 00:11:03.810
we sometimes we get very,

227
00:11:03.810 --> 00:11:06.280
and we, we've, we've,
we've talked about the,

228
00:11:06.280 --> 00:11:07.920
the big things today.

229
00:11:07.920 --> 00:11:09.390
We've talked about the important things

230
00:11:09.390 --> 00:11:11.220
and you talked about your salvation.

231
00:11:11.220 --> 00:11:15.240
But there are some things,
some physical things perhaps

232
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:17.250
around you that will remind you

233
00:11:17.250 --> 00:11:18.750
of the things that you
can be grateful for.

234
00:11:20.190 --> 00:11:25.190
And I keep this Bible in a
very visible place at home.

235
00:11:25.500 --> 00:11:27.600
I walk by it several times a day.

236
00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:32.600
And it reminds me of our lineage of faith.

237
00:11:32.790 --> 00:11:36.480
It reminds me of how much I'm loved.

238
00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:38.430
It reminds me of the word of God

239
00:11:38.430 --> 00:11:40.230
and the importance of reading the word of God.

240
00:11:41.820 --> 00:11:44.070
So, so there are things, mom,

241
00:11:44.070 --> 00:11:45.360
you were talking about waking up

242
00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:46.193
and being thankful.

243
00:11:46.193 --> 00:11:48.668
There are things you can intentionally put in

244
00:11:48.668 --> 00:11:51.600
your day to remind you to be grateful.

245
00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:54.010
<v ->That's great. Well,
I have a for you, Paul.</v>

246
00:11:54.010 --> 00:11:56.920
<v ->Okay? - Yeah. I know that
you like bikes, bicycles.</v>

247
00:11:56.920 --> 00:11:59.350
<v ->Yes. - 'cause you took mine apart very</v>

248
00:11:59.350 --> 00:12:00.550
often when we were growing up.

249
00:12:00.550 --> 00:12:03.285
And I put it back together.
Paul, in your memory,

250
00:12:03.285 --> 00:12:04.660
<v ->That's debatable</v>
<v ->In your memory.</v>

251
00:12:04.660 --> 00:12:08.800
That is debatable. That's
the way I remember it. Okay.

252
00:12:08.800 --> 00:12:13.450
Well, my son Daniel, he saved
up a little bit of money.

253
00:12:13.450 --> 00:12:16.540
And my son Daniel said, he said, Dad,

254
00:12:16.540 --> 00:12:18.370
can we just keep this between me and you?

255
00:12:18.370 --> 00:12:20.740
I said, well, sure. Tell me what it is.

256
00:12:20.740 --> 00:12:22.780
He said, I don't want mom
to know. I said, okay.

257
00:12:23.620 --> 00:12:28.240
And so my son Daniel said,
I saved up enough money,

258
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:29.560
but I need your help a little bit.

259
00:12:29.560 --> 00:12:31.960
Just, just adding a little bit over here.

260
00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:34.990
And, and it was a little bit.

261
00:12:34.990 --> 00:12:36.790
And he said, I wanna go to

262
00:12:36.790 --> 00:12:41.050
after school to the local
bicycle store and buy my bike.

263
00:12:41.050 --> 00:12:42.280
And I don't want you to come with me.

264
00:12:42.280 --> 00:12:44.140
I wanna go all by myself.

265
00:12:44.140 --> 00:12:48.520
I wanna come home, get on the
bus, go to the bicycle store,

266
00:12:48.520 --> 00:12:50.350
choose it out myself,

267
00:12:50.350 --> 00:12:52.270
and now I'm gonna ride the bicycle home.

268
00:12:52.270 --> 00:12:54.460
I said, Daniel, you should do that.

269
00:12:54.460 --> 00:12:56.560
That is so amazing to me. I'm so grateful.

270
00:12:56.560 --> 00:12:57.760
He had the desire.

271
00:12:57.760 --> 00:13:00.370
<v ->How old is he, Joel?</v>
<v ->He, he's 13 right now.</v>

272
00:13:00.370 --> 00:13:02.800
<v ->Okay. - And I'm so grateful that he did that</v>

273
00:13:02.800 --> 00:13:05.110
and that he had the desire to
spend his money on something

274
00:13:05.110 --> 00:13:08.440
that's wonderful. And I'm so proud of him.

275
00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:09.850
There's a law we can be grateful for.

276
00:13:09.850 --> 00:13:11.920
I think the small things matter.

277
00:13:11.920 --> 00:13:13.060
And that is a small example

278
00:13:13.060 --> 00:13:15.010
of something I'm grateful for. Well, I

279
00:13:15.010 --> 00:13:16.900
<v ->Want say something I'm very grateful for.</v>

280
00:13:16.900 --> 00:13:21.520
I am grateful that the Moscow Good News Church

281
00:13:21.520 --> 00:13:24.610
now has 5-locations in the city of Moscow.

282
00:13:24.610 --> 00:13:26.710
<v ->Yes. Yes, 5-locations. That's a very big deal.</v>

283
00:13:26.710 --> 00:13:28.570
<v ->And we're opening churches
in other cities now.</v>

284
00:13:28.570 --> 00:13:30.640
<v ->And now we're opening
churches in other cities</v>

285
00:13:30.640 --> 00:13:31.930
all over Russia.

286
00:13:31.930 --> 00:13:34.450
We just opened two in the last month.

287
00:13:34.450 --> 00:13:37.810
I'm very grateful that several
thousand people participate

288
00:13:37.810 --> 00:13:38.890
in the Moscow Church.

289
00:13:38.890 --> 00:13:40.300
Yes. I'm very grateful

290
00:13:40.300 --> 00:13:42.580
that the Moscow Church
building is paid for.

291
00:13:42.580 --> 00:13:44.260
Yes. And I'm grateful to you

292
00:13:44.260 --> 00:13:46.270
because you helped us with that massive,

293
00:13:46.270 --> 00:13:47.740
massive undertaking.

294
00:13:47.740 --> 00:13:50.620
And it's done. I mean, we really did it.

295
00:13:50.620 --> 00:13:54.040
And since the time we've
paid it off, hundreds

296
00:13:54.040 --> 00:13:56.950
and thousands of people have
come through that building.

297
00:13:56.950 --> 00:13:59.920
And that building is used
regularly for all kinds

298
00:13:59.920 --> 00:14:04.150
of denominational meetings,
governmental meetings,

299
00:14:04.150 --> 00:14:05.320
spiritual meetings

300
00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:07.360
of other denominations and other churches.

301
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:10.030
They all use our facility. You were a part of that.

302
00:14:10.030 --> 00:14:13.480
And I'm very thankful and thankful that the church is alive.

303
00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:15.370
The church is healthy.

304
00:14:15.370 --> 00:14:19.840
I am thankful that Denise's
ministry is really taking off.

305
00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:21.160
And you're a part of that

306
00:14:21.160 --> 00:14:22.630
because when you're a giver,

307
00:14:22.630 --> 00:14:24.460
you help underwrite all of this.

308
00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:29.530
Denise's ministry in Russia is just exploding.

309
00:14:29.530 --> 00:14:32.950
I mean, there are literally
a hundred thousand women

310
00:14:32.950 --> 00:14:37.000
that are with Denise all the
time in some form of media

311
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:39.310
following, listening, learning.

312
00:14:39.310 --> 00:14:41.230
And Denise has counselors.

313
00:14:41.230 --> 00:14:44.260
I mean, a lot of counselors, they're here.

314
00:14:44.260 --> 00:14:46.390
They're all over the former Soviet Union.

315
00:14:46.390 --> 00:14:48.010
They're in Europe, they're
all over the world.

316
00:14:48.010 --> 00:14:51.740
They're in Israel, and they're
online counseling women all

317
00:14:51.740 --> 00:14:55.580
over the world helping women
to strengthen their marriages.

318
00:14:55.580 --> 00:14:57.500
And I'm very, very thankful for

319
00:14:57.500 --> 00:14:58.500
that.

320
00:14:58.500 --> 00:15:00.560
You know, Rick, I just got this report

321
00:15:00.560 --> 00:15:05.330
and you know, just to let you
know, this little ministry

322
00:15:05.330 --> 00:15:09.110
that he's talking about
just started with like

323
00:15:09.110 --> 00:15:11.030
in 2009, started

324
00:15:11.030 --> 00:15:15.110
with like 18 women in a room with me.

325
00:15:15.110 --> 00:15:17.000
And now it's,

326
00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:21.980
we reach at least a
thousand women every month

327
00:15:21.980 --> 00:15:25.700
because we do, we do these online courses.

328
00:15:25.700 --> 00:15:27.050
<v ->But Denise, you've
got a hundred thousand</v>

329
00:15:27.050 --> 00:15:28.220
women following you.

330
00:15:28.220 --> 00:15:32.030
<v ->Yes. And now we have</v>

331
00:15:32.030 --> 00:15:34.585
55 counselors.

332
00:15:34.585 --> 00:15:35.690
<v ->That's just, that's amazing.</v>

333
00:15:35.690 --> 00:15:40.490
<v ->55. And we have all these
home groups across the world.</v>

334
00:15:40.490 --> 00:15:44.450
And we have 15 home groups.

335
00:15:44.450 --> 00:15:48.860
So there's one in Israel,
there's one in Germany,

336
00:15:48.860 --> 00:15:52.730
there's one in France,
there's one in Korea,

337
00:15:52.730 --> 00:15:54.440
there's one in Hungary.

338
00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:57.260
And then, and then all over Russia.

339
00:15:57.260 --> 00:16:01.190
I mean, God has just expanded

340
00:16:01.190 --> 00:16:04.760
this ministry, touching these women.

341
00:16:04.760 --> 00:16:08.785
And you know, when you touch a woman in her home,

342
00:16:08.785 --> 00:16:11.150
<v ->You touch - A family, you touch a family.</v>

343
00:16:11.150 --> 00:16:14.780
And so divorces have been stopped.

344
00:16:14.780 --> 00:16:17.390
All women have been so encouraged.

345
00:16:17.390 --> 00:16:20.990
Some men who were drinking stopped drinking.

346
00:16:20.990 --> 00:16:23.750
A lot of forgiveness has been given.

347
00:16:23.750 --> 00:16:25.880
And there's so many testimonies

348
00:16:25.880 --> 00:16:30.680
of God's miracle working
power happening all over the

349
00:16:30.680 --> 00:16:33.200
world through this ministry.

350
00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:36.140
<v ->I'm also grateful for what we call IGNC,</v>

351
00:16:36.140 --> 00:16:37.520
which is the Internet

352
00:16:37.520 --> 00:16:39.380
Good News Church.

353
00:16:39.380 --> 00:16:42.170
So Paul is the pastor of the
physical church in Moscow

354
00:16:42.170 --> 00:16:43.790
and all the affiliates.

355
00:16:43.790 --> 00:16:45.920
But then we have the online church.

356
00:16:45.920 --> 00:16:50.570
And it's not just an online broadcast, it is a full church.

357
00:16:50.570 --> 00:16:53.540
It's got a full Sunday school, youth ministry,

358
00:16:53.540 --> 00:16:55.880
women's ministry, men's ministry.

359
00:16:55.880 --> 00:16:59.030
It's got counselors, it's got everything.

360
00:16:59.030 --> 00:17:02.930
And IGNC, the Internet Good News Church,

361
00:17:02.930 --> 00:17:05.480
has 400 volunteers.

362
00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:08.210
Wow. I mean, that is bigger
than a lot of churches.

363
00:17:08.210 --> 00:17:10.550
400 volunteers.

364
00:17:10.550 --> 00:17:14.900
And we minister to Russian
speakers all over the planet

365
00:17:14.900 --> 00:17:18.110
who live in places where
they do not have churches.

366
00:17:18.110 --> 00:17:19.790
And do you know how many people now

367
00:17:19.790 --> 00:17:22.220
participate in the internet

368
00:17:22.220 --> 00:17:26.840
Good News Church? More than 250,000 people.

369
00:17:26.840 --> 00:17:27.920
That's a lot of people.

370
00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:30.260
I mean, that's bigger than a football stadium.

371
00:17:30.260 --> 00:17:32.990
That's a couple football stadiums.

372
00:17:32.990 --> 00:17:34.730
And those are people
that are all tuning in.

373
00:17:34.730 --> 00:17:37.340
I'm the pastor of the Internet Good News Church.

374
00:17:37.340 --> 00:17:39.830
So Paul's the pastor of the physical church.

375
00:17:39.830 --> 00:17:42.230
I'm the pastor of the online church.

376
00:17:42.230 --> 00:17:44.390
And then we have Rick Runner Ministries.

377
00:17:44.390 --> 00:17:47.450
And Joel's, the people that
we're reaching is amazing.

378
00:17:47.450 --> 00:17:48.710
<v ->Oh, it definitely is.</v>

379
00:17:48.710 --> 00:17:51.810
We're on TV channels all over the world.

380
00:17:51.810 --> 00:17:54.480
And actually we're looking to expand new TV networks

381
00:17:54.480 --> 00:17:57.300
because people need trusted teaching

382
00:17:57.300 --> 00:18:00.960
they can trust. That's right. Teaching of the Bible.

383
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:02.100
And that's what we're all about.

384
00:18:02.100 --> 00:18:06.870
We want to take the gospel as far and near as possible.

385
00:18:06.870 --> 00:18:08.490
And if people want to learn about the Bible,

386
00:18:08.490 --> 00:18:10.050
we want to be able to help them

387
00:18:10.050 --> 00:18:11.050
do that.

388
00:18:11.050 --> 00:18:12.450
And Joel, the number of
people that reach out

389
00:18:12.450 --> 00:18:14.430
to the Tulsa office is enormous.

390
00:18:14.430 --> 00:18:17.220
Oh, absolutely - absolutely.

391
00:18:17.220 --> 00:18:19.080
In one year we can receive

392
00:18:19.080 --> 00:18:21.060
around a hundred thousand phone calls.

393
00:18:21.060 --> 00:18:23.220
And that is just remarkable.

394
00:18:23.220 --> 00:18:24.660
And people are reaching out

395
00:18:24.660 --> 00:18:26.520
because they want to receive trusted

396
00:18:26.520 --> 00:18:28.290
teaching from the Bible.

397
00:18:28.290 --> 00:18:31.050
And it's an honor that we can
be considered that It truly

398
00:18:31.050 --> 00:18:32.100
<v ->It is.</v>

399
00:18:32.100 --> 00:18:34.650
<v ->And so many people reach out for prayer.</v>

400
00:18:34.650 --> 00:18:38.130
So many people, and we
have so many testimonies.

401
00:18:38.130 --> 00:18:41.970
Every week in our weekly staff
meeting, we read testimonies

402
00:18:41.970 --> 00:18:43.590
and it's pages and pages

403
00:18:43.590 --> 00:18:47.310
and pages of how God
shut up in people's lives

404
00:18:47.310 --> 00:18:49.500
and their life had a testimony.

405
00:18:49.500 --> 00:18:50.610
And they are wonderful.

406
00:18:50.610 --> 00:18:51.600
Some of them are a little bit of

407
00:18:51.600 --> 00:18:53.550
funny and they are humorous.

408
00:18:53.550 --> 00:18:56.340
But you know what? I
think God has a humor,

409
00:18:56.340 --> 00:18:59.010
but many of them are truly amazing

410
00:18:59.010 --> 00:19:00.270
testimonies.

411
00:19:00.270 --> 00:19:01.290
And you may not know it,

412
00:19:01.290 --> 00:19:03.840
but we have the office in Tulsa,

413
00:19:03.840 --> 00:19:07.620
we have an office in England,
we have an office in Latvia.

414
00:19:07.620 --> 00:19:09.960
We have an office in Moscow.

415
00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:14.310
And in the last year we opened
an office in Canada - Canada.

416
00:19:14.310 --> 00:19:16.230
So we're finally able to really minister

417
00:19:16.230 --> 00:19:19.080
to our Canadian friends and partners.

418
00:19:19.080 --> 00:19:20.490
And that's a blessing.

419
00:19:20.490 --> 00:19:24.060
But if you put all this together, all the various outreaches

420
00:19:24.060 --> 00:19:25.620
of the ministry, and by the way,

421
00:19:25.620 --> 00:19:28.530
we didn't even mention TBV and GNC.

422
00:19:28.530 --> 00:19:31.140
We have two satellite networks.

423
00:19:31.140 --> 00:19:34.380
One is a satellite network
that covers the world.

424
00:19:34.380 --> 00:19:37.860
Another is a network that
covers the country of Russia.

425
00:19:37.860 --> 00:19:41.880
But if you put all this together, in the last 12 months,

426
00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:45.870
more than 10,000 people have
prayed to receive Jesus.

427
00:19:45.870 --> 00:19:48.510
Now, I think that is a lot of people,

428
00:19:48.510 --> 00:19:49.890
and those are the ones we know about.

429
00:19:49.890 --> 00:19:52.410
Those are the ones we know about.

430
00:19:52.410 --> 00:19:55.170
And when someone reaches
out to us to receive Christ,

431
00:19:56.640 --> 00:19:59.010
we reach out to them. I mean, we really,

432
00:19:59.010 --> 00:20:01.020
really, really follow up.

433
00:20:01.020 --> 00:20:02.190
We're diligent about that.

434
00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:05.370
And it's not just numbers of people

435
00:20:05.370 --> 00:20:07.650
who we think have prayed,

436
00:20:07.650 --> 00:20:10.980
it's people that have actually - we've actually spoken to

437
00:20:10.980 --> 00:20:13.590
or corresponded with people.

438
00:20:14.490 --> 00:20:16.500
So that's a lot of teamwork.

439
00:20:16.500 --> 00:20:18.600
But it's wonderful to see
what the Lord is doing

440
00:20:18.600 --> 00:20:21.660
and how the gospel changes lives.

441
00:20:21.660 --> 00:20:23.550
There's so many lives that are changed.

442
00:20:24.810 --> 00:20:27.180
<v ->But you know, it takes
many people to do this.</v>

443
00:20:27.180 --> 00:20:30.480
It takes us, takes you, takes a team.

444
00:20:31.470 --> 00:20:34.170
And we're thankful. We are thankful

445
00:20:34.170 --> 00:20:36.210
for everything we're talking about.

446
00:20:36.210 --> 00:20:38.130
All the glory goes to the Lord.

447
00:20:38.130 --> 00:20:43.110
Believe me, Ricky Renner from Sand Springs, Oklahoma

448
00:20:43.110 --> 00:20:44.940
and Denise Renner from Miama Oklahoma,

449
00:20:44.940 --> 00:20:47.050
we would've never imagined
that we would be doing

450
00:20:47.050 --> 00:20:50.110
what we're doing, or that
our sons would be doing

451
00:20:50.110 --> 00:20:53.350
what they're doing, or that we
would even raised our kids in

452
00:20:53.350 --> 00:20:57.280
the former Soviet Union - who would've ever imagined

453
00:20:57.280 --> 00:20:59.470
that from Moscow, Russia,

454
00:20:59.470 --> 00:21:02.260
we would have a studio that is reaching the whole world,

455
00:21:02.260 --> 00:21:04.450
including the United States and Canada.

456
00:21:04.450 --> 00:21:05.920
I mean, we always thought the gospel should

457
00:21:05.920 --> 00:21:07.240
come from there to here.

458
00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:10.450
But now from here, we're sending
the gospel around the world

459
00:21:10.450 --> 00:21:12.520
with partners who live
all over the planet.

460
00:21:13.990 --> 00:21:17.890
We're so thankful. We're
thankful for the grace of God.

461
00:21:18.730 --> 00:21:19.990
We're thankful for the anointing.

462
00:21:19.990 --> 00:21:23.530
We're thankful for forgiveness, we're thankful for mercy.

463
00:21:23.530 --> 00:21:26.260
You know, if you just
start making a list of

464
00:21:26.260 --> 00:21:28.600
what you're thankful for,
it's kind of hard to stop.

465
00:21:29.890 --> 00:21:32.290
And this is a Week of Thanksgiving.

466
00:21:32.290 --> 00:21:33.550
So we're just taking time

467
00:21:33.550 --> 00:21:35.590
to express what we're thankful for.

468
00:21:35.590 --> 00:21:39.880
And we want to encourage you
again every day this week,

469
00:21:39.880 --> 00:21:42.640
take time to express
what you're thankful for.

470
00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:46.000
Get out a piece of paper
and a pen and write it down.

471
00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:48.850
You'll be amazed at what
you're thankful for.

472
00:21:48.850 --> 00:21:51.070
And when you have your
Thanksgiving dinner,

473
00:21:51.070 --> 00:21:53.020
let everybody go around the table.

474
00:21:53.020 --> 00:21:55.330
Take a moment for
everybody to say something

475
00:21:55.330 --> 00:21:57.670
that they are thankful and grateful for,

476
00:21:57.670 --> 00:21:59.590
and then dive into the food.

477
00:21:59.590 --> 00:22:02.740
But we're out of time. We'll
be back in just a moment

478
00:22:02.740 --> 00:22:03.880
and we're gonna pray for you.

479
00:22:12.100 --> 00:22:13.750
How did you start the Television Ministry

480
00:22:13.750 --> 00:22:15.580
in the former Soviet Union?

481
00:22:15.580 --> 00:22:17.380
Well, one day I was invited

482
00:22:17.380 --> 00:22:21.400
to preach at a public meeting
downtown Riga in the National

483
00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:23.320
Hockey stadium.

484
00:22:23.320 --> 00:22:26.320
So your mother and I went,
she sang, I preached.

485
00:22:26.320 --> 00:22:29.140
And Joel, we stood on the ice.

486
00:22:29.140 --> 00:22:32.890
I remember our feet were freezing while Denise was singing,

487
00:22:32.890 --> 00:22:33.910
while I was preaching.

488
00:22:33.910 --> 00:22:35.830
And what was really amazing is

489
00:22:35.830 --> 00:22:37.510
that we decided to pray for the sick.

490
00:22:37.510 --> 00:22:40.180
You should have seen the
sick walking across the

491
00:22:40.180 --> 00:22:41.260
ice to be healed.

492
00:22:41.260 --> 00:22:43.360
I remember thinking, they're
gonna all need a miracle

493
00:22:43.360 --> 00:22:45.100
by the time they get here.

494
00:22:45.100 --> 00:22:47.470
But somebody filmed that service

495
00:22:47.470 --> 00:22:49.630
and that week it was broadcast on TV.

496
00:22:49.630 --> 00:22:52.270
And when your mother and I
were watching that broadcast

497
00:22:52.270 --> 00:22:55.270
and you were there too,
the Holy Spirit spoke to us

498
00:22:55.270 --> 00:22:57.880
and said, this is really
why I brought you here.

499
00:22:57.880 --> 00:23:01.930
I want you to take Sunday School into every home across the

500
00:23:01.930 --> 00:23:05.290
Soviet Union through television.

501
00:23:05.290 --> 00:23:09.370
And that is what we did,
and that's how it all began.

502
00:23:09.370 --> 00:23:14.050

to Joseph: Christ's early years fleeing from Herod

517

with his parents: the reason God came

for our friends and our partners.

00:26:04.730 --> 00:26:05.840
Father, we thank you.

573
00:26:06.740 --> 00:26:08.600
We're just thankful for so much

574
00:26:08.600 --> 00:26:10.640
that you've done in our lives

575
00:26:10.640 --> 00:26:14.210
and help all of us this
week to be very intentional

576
00:26:14.210 --> 00:26:17.570
about coming into your courts with thanksgiving.

577
00:26:17.570 --> 00:26:20.000
Really giving thanks to your name.

578
00:26:20.000 --> 00:26:23.540
For every good thing that you've done for each one of us.

579
00:26:23.540 --> 00:26:25.490
Help us to really dig deep

580
00:26:25.490 --> 00:26:27.950
and to think about what we're thankful for

581
00:26:27.950 --> 00:26:32.540
and to express it in Jesus' name - Amen.

582
00:26:32.540 --> 00:26:35.060
Tomorrow, all four of us will be back,

583
00:26:35.060 --> 00:26:39.290
but until then, remember Ecclesiastes 8:4 says,

584
00:26:39.290 --> 00:26:40.550
"Where the word, the king, where the word of

585
00:26:40.550 --> 00:26:44.010
King is, there is power."

586
00:26:44.010 --> 00:26:46.230
<v ->If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior</v>

587
00:26:46.230 --> 00:26:50.610
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life

588
00:26:50.610 --> 00:26:52.800
Jesus has to give you.

589
00:26:52.800 --> 00:26:56.820
Pray this prayer with me right now - Lord,

590
00:26:56.820 --> 00:27:00.900
I repent of my sin and
receive you as my Savior

591
00:27:00.900 --> 00:27:03.840
and Lord. Wash away my sin

592
00:27:03.840 --> 00:27:06.840
and make me completely new.

593
00:27:06.840 --> 00:27:10.770
I thank you that my sin is removed

594
00:27:10.770 --> 00:27:15.770
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.

595
00:27:16.200 --> 00:27:20.220
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord

596
00:27:20.220 --> 00:27:21.870
for the rest of my life

597
00:27:22.770 --> 00:27:27.330
<v ->Amen. If you just prayed
the prayer of salvation</v>

598
00:27:27.330 --> 00:27:30.030
with us, would you please
let us know by going

599
00:27:30.030 --> 00:27:33.030
