Get ready for a teaching

4
00:00:11.310 --> 00:00:14.880
and your mind, where the word is the anchor in
5
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:16.860 line:15%
uncertain times
6
00:00:16.860 --> 00:00:20.160 line:15%
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
7
00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:21.570 line:15%
We keep it simple,
8
00:00:21.570 --> 00:00:26.160 line:15%
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
9
00:00:27.030 --> 00:00:28.920 line:15%
a love that emboldens,
10
00:00:30.060 --> 00:00:32.220 line:15%
and a mission that touches the world.
11
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:36.090 line:15%
Let's join Rick Renner.
12
00:00:39.030 --> 00:00:40.380 line:15%
Welcome to today's program.
13
00:00:40.380 --> 00:00:42.540 line:15%
My name is Rick Renner and today
14
00:00:42.540 --> 00:00:45.450 line:15%
and tomorrow we're wrapping
up the series called Easter
15
00:00:45.450 --> 00:00:49.740 line:15%
The Rest of the Story. You know, when I was growing up,
16
00:00:49.740 --> 00:00:53.490 line:15%
my parents always made sure that Easter was a special event.
17
00:00:53.490 --> 00:00:57.210 line:15%
When we woke up in the morning, we were always excited
18
00:00:57.210 --> 00:01:01.920 line:15%
because next to our bed was
a basket full of goodies.
19
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:03.360
Wow, I loved that.
20
00:01:03.360 --> 00:01:05.400
And of course, every Easter
21
00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:08.760
after lunch, we had an Easter Egg hunt,
22
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:12.690
and my mother always made
sure that my sisters Rhonda
23
00:01:12.690 --> 00:01:16.620
and Lori had new dresses and I
had a nice little white shirt
24
00:01:16.620 --> 00:01:20.280
and a black bow tie
because this was Easter.
25
00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:22.680
I can remember shining my shoes,
26
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:24.630
making sure they were really glistening
27
00:01:24.630 --> 00:01:28.530
because I wanted my shoes
to shine for Easter.
28
00:01:28.530 --> 00:01:31.380
We knew the resurrection
of Jesus was something
29
00:01:31.380 --> 00:01:33.480
to be celebrated,
30
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:37.380
but I have to tell you the
truth, even as a young child,
31
00:01:37.380 --> 00:01:40.770
we heard the same message
every single year.
32
00:01:40.770 --> 00:01:43.050
And I wondered, isn't
there more to the story?
33
00:01:43.050 --> 00:01:45.120
Why do we hear the same sermon,
34
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:47.730
the same message every single year?
35
00:01:47.730 --> 00:01:52.050
So I did a deep dive
into the story of Easter
36
00:01:52.050 --> 00:01:55.410
and wow, there is so
much to the Easter story
37
00:01:55.410 --> 00:01:57.480
that no one told me.
38
00:01:57.480 --> 00:01:59.940
And my purpose in these programs has been
39
00:01:59.940 --> 00:02:02.460
to share all these
amazing details with you.
40
00:02:02.460 --> 00:02:04.470
And yesterday we saw that
41
00:02:04.470 --> 00:02:07.260
after the resurrection, Jesus appeared
42
00:02:07.260 --> 00:02:10.200
to hundreds upon hundreds
upon hundreds of people.
43
00:02:10.200 --> 00:02:13.080
He ate with people, he walked with people,
44
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:14.580
he fellowships with people.
45
00:02:14.580 --> 00:02:17.970
He even went fishing with
people. My friends, Jesus did
46
00:02:17.970 --> 00:02:19.920
so much after his resurrection
47
00:02:19.920 --> 00:02:21.690
and he revealed himself
48
00:02:21.690 --> 00:02:26.520
with many infallible proofs
over a space of 40 days
49
00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:28.440
and then he ascended into Heaven.
50
00:02:28.440 --> 00:02:29.850
That's what we're going to see today,
51
00:02:29.850 --> 00:02:33.450
and that is what is illustrated on the screen behind me,
52
00:02:33.450 --> 00:02:35.370
the ascension of Jesus.
53
00:02:35.370 --> 00:02:37.890
But it makes me ask a question - Alright,
54
00:02:37.890 --> 00:02:40.620 line:15%
Jesus ascended into Heaven 2000 years ago.
55
00:02:40.620 --> 00:02:42.300
What's he been doing ever since then?
56
00:02:42.300 --> 00:02:47.300
What has Jesus been doing
for the past 2000 years?
57
00:02:47.340 --> 00:02:49.290 line:15%
That's what we're going to see today
58
00:02:49.290 --> 00:02:51.810
and it's going to be really, really good.
59
00:02:51.810 --> 00:02:55.440
But let me remind you that if
you need prayer, we are here
60
00:02:55.440 --> 00:02:57.660 line:15%
for you and we wanna pray for you.
61
00:02:57.660 --> 00:03:00.460 line:15%
So call the number on the
screen or send us an email
62
00:03:00.460 --> 00:03:03.400 line:15%
and the moment we hear
from you, we're gonna pray
63
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:05.680 line:15%
and God's gonna do what needs to be done.
64
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:07.990 line:15%
But listen to this and
then I'll be right back.
65
00:03:08.890 --> 00:03:11.830 line:15%
Do you know the story of
Easter, the resurrection
66
00:03:11.830 --> 00:03:13.660 line:15%
of Jesus, the empty tomb
67
00:03:13.660 --> 00:03:15.640
and the appearances to the disciples?
68
00:03:15.640 --> 00:03:19.030 line:15%
But did you know that's
only part of the story?
69
00:03:19.030 --> 00:03:22.390 line:15%
In Rick Renner's book Easter,
The Rest of the Story,
70
00:03:22.390 --> 00:03:24.550 line:15%
Rick delves into the lesser known details
71
00:03:24.550 --> 00:03:27.310 line:15%
of the Easter story that
are often overlooked.
72
00:03:27.310 --> 00:03:30.010 line:15%
Details like who was Pontius Pilate?
73
00:03:30.010 --> 00:03:32.440
What really happened to the Garden of Gethsemane?
74
00:03:32.440 --> 00:03:34.720 line:15%
What happened to the temple when Jesus died?
75
00:03:34.720 --> 00:03:36.880 line:15%
What exactly did the disciples witness on
76
00:03:36.880 --> 00:03:38.500 line:15%
that miraculous morning?
77
00:03:38.500 --> 00:03:42.160 line:15%
Why Easter is the absolute
defining moment of our faith.

87
00:04:08.050 --> 00:04:10.000 line:15%
As I told you in the introduction today,
88
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:13.960
we're looking at the question - What has Jesus been doing
89
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:17.290
for the past 2000 years?
90
00:04:17.290 --> 00:04:20.560
And we're gonna return to Acts 1:3,
91
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:24.790 line:15%
where the Bible says Jesus showed himself alive
92
00:04:24.790 --> 00:04:29.230 line:15%
after his passion by many infallible proofs -
93
00:04:29.230 --> 00:04:34.030 line:15%
we saw that in the last program - being seen of them 40 days
94
00:04:34.030 --> 00:04:38.140 line:15%
and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.
95
00:04:38.140 --> 00:04:41.050 line:15%
Then when you come to Acts 1:9, we find
96
00:04:41.050 --> 00:04:44.290 line:15%
that at the end of those
40 days, Jesus spoke
97
00:04:44.290 --> 00:04:49.290
to his disciples one final
time and then he was taken up
98
00:04:49.450 --> 00:04:52.690
and a cloud received
him out of their sight.
99
00:04:52.690 --> 00:04:55.900
That is what is illustrated
on the screen behind me.
100
00:04:55.900 --> 00:04:58.420
Then when you come to Acts 1:10
101
00:04:58.420 --> 00:05:00.130
and 11, the Bible says -
102
00:05:00.130 --> 00:05:01.270 line:15%
And while they -
103
00:05:01.270 --> 00:05:05.205 line:15%
that is the apostles - look steadfastly toward
104
00:05:05.205 --> 00:05:06.790 line:15%
heaven as he went up.
105
00:05:06.790 --> 00:05:10.180
Now just imagine that we're speaking to Jesus in one moment
106
00:05:10.180 --> 00:05:13.750
and then suddenly Jesus is
ascending into the heavens.
107
00:05:13.750 --> 00:05:16.750 line:15%
And as they steadfastly
looked toward the heavens
108
00:05:16.750 --> 00:05:20.020 line:15%
as he went up, behold
two men stood by them.
109
00:05:20.020 --> 00:05:22.780 line:15%
These were two angels in white apparel.
110
00:05:22.780 --> 00:05:25.690
The words white apparel means
this was like lightening
111
00:05:25.690 --> 00:05:28.420
beautiful apparel just glistening.
112
00:05:28.420 --> 00:05:30.970 line:15%
And they said - Ye men of Galilee,
113
00:05:30.970 --> 00:05:34.600 line:15%
why stand ye here gazing up into Heaven?
114
00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:39.220 line:15%
This same Jesus which is taken up from you into Heaven shall
115
00:05:39.220 --> 00:05:41.350 line:15%
show come in like manner
116
00:05:41.350 --> 00:05:45.430 line:15%
as ye have seen him go into Heaven.
117
00:05:45.430 --> 00:05:49.240
And on that day, these two angels declared
118
00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:51.100
that at a moment in the future,
119
00:05:51.100 --> 00:05:54.670
Jesus will return in the same manner
120
00:05:54.670 --> 00:05:57.200
as he left nearly 2000 years.
121
00:05:57.200 --> 00:06:01.490
And days later on the day of
Pentecost, Peter was preaching
122
00:06:01.490 --> 00:06:04.310
and we read in Acts 3:21,
123
00:06:04.310 --> 00:06:08.120
that Peter declared Jesus
would remain in heaven
124
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:10.160 line:15%
until the fulfillment
125
00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:13.010 line:15%
of all scripture at the end of the age.
126
00:06:13.010 --> 00:06:17.420
Only when every single
prophecy has been fulfilled
127
00:06:17.420 --> 00:06:21.110
and every soul that's gonna
be saved has been saved,
128
00:06:21.110 --> 00:06:23.750
that is when Jesus will return
129
00:06:23.750 --> 00:06:28.430
and when he returns in his 2nd coming, he will not return
130
00:06:28.430 --> 00:06:29.900
as a humble servant,
131
00:06:29.900 --> 00:06:33.320
but Jesus will come as the king of kings
132
00:06:33.320 --> 00:06:36.710
and the Lord of lords in his 2nd coming,
133
00:06:36.710 --> 00:06:41.330
which is an event subsequent
to the rapture of the church.
134
00:06:41.330 --> 00:06:45.650
But when the disciples saw
Jesus ascend into a cloud
135
00:06:45.650 --> 00:06:48.230
of glory that received him into heaven,
136
00:06:48.230 --> 00:06:53.120 line:15%
it was the last time they
ever saw Jesus in his physical
137
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:54.230
human form.
138
00:06:54.230 --> 00:06:56.000
It was the last time.
139
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:59.720
And Jesus has physically
never been in the earth since.
140
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:04.160
Now people have experienced
him in dreams and visions
141
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:05.900
and supernatural revelations.
142
00:07:05.900 --> 00:07:09.950
But Jesus physically has
not been in the earth
143
00:07:09.950 --> 00:07:11.900
for 2000 years.
144
00:07:11.900 --> 00:07:14.750
We know that Jesus is in
the earth through the church
145
00:07:14.750 --> 00:07:16.760
and the church is called
the body of Christ.
146
00:07:16.760 --> 00:07:18.920
And through the church the body of Christ,
147
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:21.740 line:15%
Jesus is touching people
and ministering to people.
148
00:07:21.740 --> 00:07:25.370 line:15%
But Jesus himself in his
actual physical form,
149
00:07:25.370 --> 00:07:28.340 line:15%
left the earth 2000 years ago
150
00:07:28.340 --> 00:07:30.830 line:15%
and he's been absent ever since.
151
00:07:30.830 --> 00:07:32.780 line:15%
And he will remain absent
152
00:07:32.780 --> 00:07:34.940
until every scripture has been fulfilled
153
00:07:34.940 --> 00:07:38.240
and until the last soul that's
gonna be saved has been saved
154
00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:40.850
and then Jesus is going to come.
155
00:07:40.850 --> 00:07:42.650
But in Acts 2:33,
156
00:07:42.650 --> 00:07:45.740
when Peter was preaching on
the dead of Pentecost, he said
157
00:07:45.740 --> 00:07:47.900 line:15%
that when Jesus ascended on high,
158
00:07:47.900 --> 00:07:50.960 line:15%
he sat at the Father's right hand
159
00:07:50.960 --> 00:07:53.690 line:15%
and once seated, he poured out the gift
160
00:07:53.690 --> 00:07:57.500 line:15%
of the Holy Ghost upon the church on the day of Pentecost.
161
00:07:57.500 --> 00:07:59.840
That is the subject of my book,
162
00:07:59.840 --> 00:08:02.990
which is called Pentecost, Pentecost -
163
00:08:02.990 --> 00:08:05.930
The Rest of the Story. There's so much to the story
164
00:08:05.930 --> 00:08:08.060
of Pentecost you've never heard,
165
00:08:08.060 --> 00:08:10.730
and it's all in my book called Pentecost,
166
00:08:10.730 --> 00:08:11.840
The Rest of the Story.
167
00:08:11.840 --> 00:08:15.440
But we have to ask the question - Where is Jesus now
168
00:08:15.440 --> 00:08:18.200
and what has Jesus been doing
169
00:08:18.200 --> 00:08:21.080
for the last 2000 years?
170
00:08:21.080 --> 00:08:24.590
And when we come to Hebrews 8:6,
171
00:08:24.590 --> 00:08:25.850
here is what we read.
172
00:08:25.850 --> 00:08:29.330
It tells us that Jesus
started the next phase
173
00:08:29.330 --> 00:08:30.410
of his ministry,
174
00:08:30.410 --> 00:08:34.670 line:15%
a phase so wonderful that Hebrews 8:6 says,
175
00:08:34.670 --> 00:08:38.030 line:15%
It is a more excellent ministry by
176
00:08:38.030 --> 00:08:42.260 line:15%
how much also he is the
mediator of a better covenant,
177
00:08:42.260 --> 00:08:45.380 line:15%
which was established
upon better promises.
178
00:08:45.380 --> 00:08:50.090 line:15%
But notice it says a
more excellent ministry.
179
00:08:50.090 --> 00:08:52.700 line:15%
What does that mean? Well,
the word excellent means
180
00:08:52.700 --> 00:08:56.970 line:15%
incomparable, unparalleled, unsurpassed,
181
00:08:56.970 --> 00:08:59.640 line:15%
unmatched, the finest, the greatest
182
00:08:59.640 --> 00:09:01.440 line:15%
or the most excellent,
183
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:05.910 line:15%
which means Jesus' present day
ministry on his throne at the
184
00:09:05.910 --> 00:09:09.000 line:15%
right hand of the Father
doesn't even begin to compare
185
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:10.050 line:15%
to what he did on the earth.
186
00:09:10.050 --> 00:09:12.390
And what he did on the
earth was magnificent.
187
00:09:12.390 --> 00:09:16.260
But his present day
ministry is incomparable,
188
00:09:16.260 --> 00:09:20.070
it is unparalleled, it is
unsurpassed, it is unmatched.
189
00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:23.340 line:15%
It is the finest, it is the greatest,
190
00:09:23.340 --> 00:09:27.150
it is the most excellent ministry of all.
191
00:09:27.150 --> 00:09:29.760
But the question is, what is it?
192
00:09:29.760 --> 00:09:33.000
What is he doing right
now that is so excellent
193
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:35.040
and so mighty?
194
00:09:35.040 --> 00:09:38.640
And we find in scripture that
Jesus seated at the right hand
195
00:09:38.640 --> 00:09:42.750
of the Father has become
our great high priest.
196
00:09:42.750 --> 00:09:45.900
And when he sat down at
the father's right hand
197
00:09:45.900 --> 00:09:50.460
and put everything under his feet, he initiated his ministry
198
00:09:50.460 --> 00:09:53.970
as the great high priest to everyone
199
00:09:53.970 --> 00:09:57.510
that calls upon his name.
200
00:09:57.510 --> 00:10:01.710
Say - Amen. That's who he is.
He is our great high priest.
201
00:10:01.710 --> 00:10:04.080
In the Old Testament, there
were many, many priests,
202
00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:06.990
but they all died due to
their human condition.
203
00:10:06.990 --> 00:10:10.920
But Hebrews 7:24-
204
00:10:10.920 --> 00:10:15.510 line:15%
25 says, But this man - speaking of Jesus -
205
00:10:15.510 --> 00:10:17.220 line:15%
because he continueth
206
00:10:17.220 --> 00:10:22.080 line:15%
forever hath an unchangeable priesthood,
207
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:27.080 line:15%
wherefore he is able also to
save them to the uttermost
208
00:10:27.270 --> 00:10:31.560 line:15%
that come to God by him
seen that he ever liveth
209
00:10:31.560 --> 00:10:34.350 line:15%
to make intercession for them.
210
00:10:34.350 --> 00:10:36.840
That is the ministry of Jesus today.
211
00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:39.690
And in Hebrews 4:15
212
00:10:39.690 --> 00:10:42.870
& 16, it describes the present day ministry
213
00:10:42.870 --> 00:10:44.610
of Jesus like this.
214
00:10:44.610 --> 00:10:47.850 line:15%
For we have not at high priest which cannot be touched
215
00:10:47.850 --> 00:10:49.920 line:15%
with the feeling of our infirmities,
216
00:10:49.920 --> 00:10:53.910 line:15%
but was in all points tempted like as we are
217
00:10:53.910 --> 00:10:56.820 line:15%
yet without sin, let us
218
00:10:56.820 --> 00:11:01.410 line:15%
therefore come boldly
unto the throne of grace
219
00:11:01.410 --> 00:11:03.210 line:15%
that we may obtain mercy
220
00:11:03.210 --> 00:11:07.650 line:15%
and find grace to help in time of need.
221
00:11:07.650 --> 00:11:10.140
I think this verse is just amazing.
222
00:11:10.140 --> 00:11:13.740
Jesus has become our great high priest.
223
00:11:13.740 --> 00:11:16.890
That means he is your
personal representative
224
00:11:16.890 --> 00:11:18.930
before the Father in Heaven.
225
00:11:18.930 --> 00:11:22.920
And his ministry today is to
represent you to the Father.
226
00:11:22.920 --> 00:11:25.980
And because Jesus lived on Earth as a man,
227
00:11:25.980 --> 00:11:29.940
he experienced every single
temptation you will ever face
228
00:11:29.940 --> 00:11:31.470
in your life.
229
00:11:31.470 --> 00:11:33.360
He's experienced everything and
230
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:35.580
therefore Jesus fully understands.
231
00:11:35.580 --> 00:11:37.080
And anything you talk
232
00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:40.830
to Jesus about is something
he personally was tempted
233
00:11:40.830 --> 00:11:44.280
with when he walked the
earth, though he did not sin.
234
00:11:44.280 --> 00:11:47.220
And because of this, he
is qualified to understand
235
00:11:47.220 --> 00:11:50.400
and he's qualified to sit
at the father's right hand
236
00:11:50.400 --> 00:11:52.590
and to intercede on my behalf
237
00:11:52.590 --> 00:11:55.630
and on your behalf - say - Amen.
238
00:11:55.630 --> 00:12:00.190 line:15%
And when you come to Hebrews 4:16, we're told in response
239
00:12:00.190 --> 00:12:02.020
to all of this - Let us
240
00:12:02.020 --> 00:12:06.460 line:15%
therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace
241
00:12:06.460 --> 00:12:08.530 line:15%
that we may obtain mercy
242
00:12:08.530 --> 00:12:13.530 line:15%
and find grace to help in time of need.
243
00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:17.110 line:15%
But what in the world does it
mean when it says come boldly?
244
00:12:17.110 --> 00:12:18.640 line:15%
Well, let's look at that word boldly.
245
00:12:18.640 --> 00:12:23.080 line:15%
The word boldly in Greek describes freedom of speech.
246
00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:26.710 line:15%
It pictures a person who speaks his mind
247
00:12:26.710 --> 00:12:31.030 line:15%
and who does it straightforwardly and with great confidence.
248
00:12:31.030 --> 00:12:32.890
Well in the 1st Century,
249
00:12:32.890 --> 00:12:36.820
this word, boldly, depicted a frankness that was
250
00:12:36.820 --> 00:12:39.970
so bold, it could be met with resistance.
251
00:12:39.970 --> 00:12:41.830
And in fact, many people thought
252
00:12:41.830 --> 00:12:44.710
that it just wasn't
acceptable to be so frank
253
00:12:44.710 --> 00:12:45.820
and to be so bold.
254
00:12:45.820 --> 00:12:47.860
So when someone spoke his mind
255
00:12:47.860 --> 00:12:51.370
and his thoughts so
freely, he was often met
256
00:12:51.370 --> 00:12:53.770
with resistance and rebuke.
257
00:12:53.770 --> 00:12:57.970
But in Hebrews 4:16, we are commended
258
00:12:57.970 --> 00:13:01.930
to come boldly before
God's throne of grace.
259
00:13:01.930 --> 00:13:05.950
And it means Jesus is
inviting us to be straight
260
00:13:05.950 --> 00:13:08.920
to the point when we talk with him.
261
00:13:08.920 --> 00:13:10.570
Don't you just love that?
262
00:13:10.570 --> 00:13:14.140
It means you need never
fear that you're too frank,
263
00:13:14.140 --> 00:13:18.430
too bold, too forthright, too honest,
264
00:13:18.430 --> 00:13:22.150
too outspoken, or too blatant
when you talk to Jesus
265
00:13:22.150 --> 00:13:24.940
and express your heart
to him about your needs
266
00:13:24.940 --> 00:13:26.290
or what you're facing.
267
00:13:26.290 --> 00:13:28.510
Now, this doesn't mean that
we need to be irreverent.
268
00:13:28.510 --> 00:13:30.250
We should never be irreverent with God.
269
00:13:30.250 --> 00:13:33.310
We need to have a fear of
God and a respect of God.
270
00:13:33.310 --> 00:13:37.930
But the word boldly means
Jesus wants us to really come
271
00:13:37.930 --> 00:13:41.920
to him and speak our heart
and he'll never be turned off.
272
00:13:41.920 --> 00:13:43.300
He'll never be offended,
273
00:13:43.300 --> 00:13:47.260
he'll never be insulted when
we freely speak our heart
274
00:13:47.260 --> 00:13:49.180
and our mind to him.
275
00:13:49.180 --> 00:13:53.230
Jesus wants to hear what you have
276
00:13:53.230 --> 00:13:54.940
to say.
277
00:13:54.940 --> 00:13:57.370
That's what that word boldly means.
278
00:13:57.370 --> 00:14:01.390
But Hebrews 4:16 goes on to say - Come boldly
279
00:14:01.390 --> 00:14:06.390 line:15%
to the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy
280
00:14:06.460 --> 00:14:09.430 line:15%
and find grace to help in time of need.
281
00:14:09.430 --> 00:14:10.810 line:15%
Maybe you need mercy.
282
00:14:10.810 --> 00:14:12.070
Well, you can obtain it.
283
00:14:13.090 --> 00:14:15.370
And the word, obtain, that is used here is a form
284
00:14:15.370 --> 00:14:16.450
of the Greek word lambano.
285
00:14:16.450 --> 00:14:18.040
And listen to what it means.
286
00:14:18.040 --> 00:14:22.150 line:15%
It means to say or to seize
or to lay hold of something.
287
00:14:22.150 --> 00:14:24.040 line:15%
So you could translate
it that we may seize
288
00:14:24.040 --> 00:14:27.730 line:15%
or lay hold of mercy in order
to make it your very own.
289
00:14:27.730 --> 00:14:32.050 line:15%
If pictures, one, reaching
out to grab or to capture
290
00:14:32.050 --> 00:14:34.600 line:15%
or to take possession of something,
291
00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:37.180 line:15%
which means there's
mercy that you can grab,
292
00:14:37.180 --> 00:14:40.270 line:15%
you can capture it, you
can take possession of it.
293
00:14:40.270 --> 00:14:44.290 line:15%
It means to violently lay
hold of something to seize it
294
00:14:44.290 --> 00:14:46.300 line:15%
and to take it as one's very own.
295
00:14:46.300 --> 00:14:51.050 line:15%
Or, this word, lambano, can picture a person who gently
296
00:14:51.050 --> 00:14:54.920 line:15%
and graciously receives
something that is freely
297
00:14:54.920 --> 00:14:56.480 line:15%
and easily given.
298
00:14:56.480 --> 00:14:59.300
And there are times when
it's really easy for you
299
00:14:59.300 --> 00:15:00.500
to receive mercy.
300
00:15:00.500 --> 00:15:02.450
And then there are moments
when you're really dealing
301
00:15:02.450 --> 00:15:03.800
with a lot of issues and you've gotta
302
00:15:03.800 --> 00:15:05.240
push through your emotions.
303
00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:06.920
You've gotta push through your thoughts.
304
00:15:06.920 --> 00:15:08.840
You've gotta push through
your flesh to reach out
305
00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:13.400
and just take it by faith. My friends, you can obtain it.
306
00:15:13.400 --> 00:15:15.230
God is freely giving it
307
00:15:15.230 --> 00:15:17.630
and if necessary you can
reach out to obtain it.
308
00:15:17.630 --> 00:15:21.470
You can take it and it
is there for the taking.
309
00:15:21.470 --> 00:15:25.100
Jesus is willing to give
you exactly what you need
310
00:15:25.100 --> 00:15:28.640
and what he has to give
you is called mercy.
311
00:15:28.640 --> 00:15:31.400
And not just mercy,
312
00:15:31.400 --> 00:15:36.320 line:15%
but Hebrews 4:16 goes on to say that you can find grace
313
00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:38.360 line:15%
to help in the time of need.
314
00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:41.450 line:15%
And the word, find, is a form of the Greek word heurisko.
315
00:15:41.450 --> 00:15:43.250 line:15%
And listen, this is important.
316
00:15:43.250 --> 00:15:47.960 line:15%
It depicts a discovery made by searching.
317
00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:50.360 line:15%
It is a discovery made as a result
318
00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:54.230 line:15%
of an intense investigation,
a scientific study
319
00:15:54.230 --> 00:15:55.820 line:15%
or a scholarly research,
320
00:15:55.820 --> 00:15:59.510
which means sometimes you've gotta put your whole heart into
321
00:15:59.510 --> 00:16:02.630
seeking the will of God
and the help of God,
322
00:16:02.630 --> 00:16:05.750
but if you'll really put
your whole heart into it,
323
00:16:05.750 --> 00:16:07.700
you will find what you need.
324
00:16:07.700 --> 00:16:10.610
And in fact, this word find the Greek word heurisko, is
325
00:16:10.610 --> 00:16:13.520
where we get the word eureka,
which means I find it.
326
00:16:13.520 --> 00:16:16.070
If you really put your heart into seeking God
327
00:16:16.070 --> 00:16:19.940
and to get what you need,
you'll come to a eureka moment
328
00:16:19.940 --> 00:16:22.790
where you say - Eureka - I found it,
329
00:16:22.790 --> 00:16:27.790
I got it. You receive
exactly what you need.
330
00:16:28.220 --> 00:16:32.900
And what you need is described in Hebrews 4:16 like this:
331
00:16:32.900 --> 00:16:37.280
to find grace to help in time of need.
332
00:16:37.280 --> 00:16:41.330
What does that mean - to help in time of need?
333
00:16:41.330 --> 00:16:44.870
Well hold onto your seat
because this is encouraging.
334
00:16:44.870 --> 00:16:48.950 line:15%
It is a Greek word, a military word used
335
00:16:48.950 --> 00:16:50.090 line:15%
to describe first
336
00:16:50.090 --> 00:16:54.860 line:15%
and foremost a moment when a soldier got into trouble
337
00:16:54.860 --> 00:16:59.860 line:15%
and a fellow soldier was alerted to his dangerous situation.
338
00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:03.770 line:15%
And because the alerted soldier was committed to the soldier
339
00:17:03.770 --> 00:17:06.740 line:15%
who was in trouble, he went into battle
340
00:17:06.740 --> 00:17:11.450 line:15%
to defend his co fighter and fight for his wellbeing, safety
341
00:17:11.450 --> 00:17:13.220 line:15%
and security.
342
00:17:13.220 --> 00:17:17.360 line:15%
Simply hearing that a fellow
soldier was in need was enough
343
00:17:17.360 --> 00:17:19.760 line:15%
to beckon that other soldier to battle
344
00:17:19.760 --> 00:17:23.420 line:15%
and to motivate him to spare
no effort in order to rescue
345
00:17:23.420 --> 00:17:27.080 line:15%
and bring his fellow
soldier to a place of safety
346
00:17:27.080 --> 00:17:28.970 line:15%
and preservation.
347
00:17:28.970 --> 00:17:32.270 line:15%
All of that is in that
phrase in time of need.
348
00:17:32.270 --> 00:17:35.240
And it means when we get into trouble
349
00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:38.900
and we pray, Jesus swings into action
350
00:17:38.900 --> 00:17:42.050
and comes to our defense.
351
00:17:42.050 --> 00:17:45.110
That's real intercessory ministry.
352
00:17:45.110 --> 00:17:48.650
He will do battle for us in our time of need.
353
00:17:48.650 --> 00:17:52.560
If we will go to Jesus, who
is our great intercessor,
354
00:17:52.560 --> 00:17:53.790
our great high priest,
355
00:17:53.790 --> 00:17:57.840
and present our case to
him, he'll intercede for us.
356
00:17:57.840 --> 00:18:01.110
And that means he'll
rise up like the mighty
357
00:18:01.110 --> 00:18:02.640
warrior that he is.
358
00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:04.380
He is ready to go into battle.
359
00:18:04.380 --> 00:18:07.560
He is ready to fight for
us until we're delivered,
360
00:18:07.560 --> 00:18:08.820
until we're freed,
361
00:18:08.820 --> 00:18:11.640
and until we're brought
into a place of safety
362
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:15.060 line:15%
that is the kind of help available to us.
363
00:18:15.060 --> 00:18:19.440
If we will go to Jesus our great high priest.
364
00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:22.290
It pictures protection, it pictures rescue
365
00:18:22.290 --> 00:18:24.930
or remedy to whatever is ailing you
366
00:18:24.930 --> 00:18:28.350
and my friends, Jesus is
able to solve anything
367
00:18:28.350 --> 00:18:30.330
and Jesus will help -
368
00:18:30.330 --> 00:18:33.660
are you ready for this -
those who need healing
369
00:18:33.660 --> 00:18:37.470
for their bodies. Jesus will help those who are bound
370
00:18:37.470 --> 00:18:39.330
and need deliverance.
371
00:18:39.330 --> 00:18:43.020
Jesus will help those who
are tormented and need peace.
372
00:18:43.020 --> 00:18:45.240
He will help those whose marriages
373
00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:46.920
and families are in trouble.
374
00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:49.560
He will help those who need provision
375
00:18:49.560 --> 00:18:51.570
or who need a financial breakthrough.
376
00:18:51.570 --> 00:18:53.130
He will help anybody
377
00:18:53.130 --> 00:18:56.280
with any need in any area of their life.
378
00:18:56.280 --> 00:18:57.450
So let me ask you a question.
379
00:18:57.450 --> 00:19:01.530
If all of this is true: if Jesus is our great high priest
380
00:19:01.530 --> 00:19:05.340
and he is interceding for
us, if he's our great warrior
381
00:19:05.340 --> 00:19:08.370
that's ready to swing into
action to come to our rescue,
382
00:19:08.370 --> 00:19:11.730
then why in the world are
we fighting our battles
383
00:19:11.730 --> 00:19:13.710
by ourself?
384
00:19:13.710 --> 00:19:16.740
Why would we sling it out and slug it out by ourself
385
00:19:16.740 --> 00:19:19.380
when the greatest warrior in the universe, the one
386
00:19:19.380 --> 00:19:21.660
that was raised from the
dead who put down death
387
00:19:21.660 --> 00:19:23.820
and defeated the work
of the devil, is ready
388
00:19:23.820 --> 00:19:25.170
to swing into action
389
00:19:25.170 --> 00:19:29.760
and fight on our behalf. He
is seated at the right hand
390
00:19:29.760 --> 00:19:34.140
of the Father ever leading to
intercede for those who come
391
00:19:34.140 --> 00:19:36.390
to him by faith.
392
00:19:36.390 --> 00:19:41.190
That is just amazing to me. Say - Amen.
393
00:19:42.210 --> 00:19:45.900
This is what Jesus has been doing
394
00:19:45.900 --> 00:19:49.050
for the last 2000 years.
395
00:19:49.050 --> 00:19:52.710
And let me tell you, this has kept Jesus really busy
396
00:19:52.710 --> 00:19:54.990
for the last 2000 years.
397
00:19:54.990 --> 00:19:59.100
But let me ask you - Why would Jesus come to earth,
398
00:19:59.100 --> 00:20:02.430
humble himself to the point of dying on the cross,
399
00:20:02.430 --> 00:20:04.980
be raised from the dead, pour out the gift
400
00:20:04.980 --> 00:20:08.010
of the Holy Spirit and
power upon the church only
401
00:20:08.010 --> 00:20:10.950
to reject you or to resist you
402
00:20:10.950 --> 00:20:14.220
when you come to him with your needs. He wouldn't do it
403
00:20:14.220 --> 00:20:17.850
my friend. From his exalted position,
404
00:20:17.850 --> 00:20:22.770
Jesus has his eyes fixed on you
405
00:20:22.770 --> 00:20:25.020
and I really mean on you.
406
00:20:25.020 --> 00:20:28.980
And at this very moment, Jesus
is seated at the right hand
407
00:20:28.980 --> 00:20:31.675
of the Father with all
power and all authority.
408
00:20:31.675 --> 00:20:36.150
He's ready to intercede, to
swing into action for you.
409
00:20:37.290 --> 00:20:41.790
And not only that, by the
strength of his spirit,
410
00:20:41.790 --> 00:20:46.440
Jesus will enable you to do
whatever the will of God is
411
00:20:46.440 --> 00:20:48.580
for your life.
412
00:20:48.580 --> 00:20:53.170
So rather than twiddle
your fingers and worry
413
00:20:53.170 --> 00:20:56.320
and fret and try to deal with
all the issues in your life
414
00:20:56.320 --> 00:21:00.940
by yourself, come boldly, be direct,
415
00:21:00.940 --> 00:21:03.790
be frank, be straightforward,
speak your heart
416
00:21:03.790 --> 00:21:05.170
and speak your mind to Jesus.
417
00:21:05.170 --> 00:21:08.710
He's waiting to hear from you
and he wants to hear from you.
418
00:21:08.710 --> 00:21:11.140
Come to him in your time of need,
419
00:21:11.140 --> 00:21:14.680
and when he sees you struggling like a mighty warrior,
420
00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:18.010
he will swing into action to bring you exactly
421
00:21:18.010 --> 00:21:21.310
what you need, to bring you
out of that struggling place,
422
00:21:21.310 --> 00:21:25.810
put you on your feet and bring
you into a place of safety
423
00:21:25.810 --> 00:21:27.250
and preservation.
424
00:21:27.250 --> 00:21:31.630 line:15%
That is what we learn in Hebrews 4:16,
425
00:21:31.630 --> 00:21:34.840 line:15%
and that is what Jesus has been doing
426
00:21:34.840 --> 00:21:38.650 line:15%
for the last 2000 years.
427
00:21:38.650 --> 00:21:40.720 line:15%
I'll be back in just a
moment to pray for you,
428
00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:41.920
but first, watch
429
00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:43.840
This, are you tired
430
00:21:43.840 --> 00:21:46.570

00:21:46.570 --> 00:21:50.290

and resurrection, which are

447
00:22:30.460 --> 00:22:32.920
His death was not just a tragic event,
448
00:22:32.920 --> 00:22:36.550 line:15%
it was a purposeful act of love that fulfilled God's plan

Hey, this is Rick Renner
465
00:23:20.020 --> 00:23:22.990
and I am in the production
fulfillment part
466
00:23:22.990 --> 00:23:25.120
of the Tulsa Ministry headquarters,
467
00:23:25.120 --> 00:23:26.740
and I just love to come here
468
00:23:26.740 --> 00:23:30.280
and see all these teaching resources.
469
00:23:30.280 --> 00:23:34.960 line:15%
My friends, we send them out
by 10 thousands every month
470
00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:35.980 line:15%
and every year.
471
00:23:35.980 --> 00:23:38.080 line:15%
It is just amazing
472
00:23:38.080 --> 00:23:42.490 line:15%
and it's a great honor that anyone would want our teaching.
473
00:23:42.490 --> 00:23:45.050 line:15%
It's very humbling and I'm very grateful
474
00:23:45.050 --> 00:23:46.550 line:15%
that God is using our ministry
475
00:23:46.550 --> 00:23:49.910 line:15%
and our teaching to strengthen
lives around the world.
476
00:23:49.910 --> 00:23:54.620 line:15%
And our partners are the
ones helping us to do it.
477
00:23:54.620 --> 00:23:57.950
And right now we're trying
to pay off this facility
478
00:23:57.950 --> 00:24:01.345 line:15%
so we can release more
funds to taking the teaching
479
00:24:01.345 --> 00:24:03.320 line:15%
of the Bible to the ends of the earth.
480
00:24:03.320 --> 00:24:06.170 line:15%
We've already paid off 84%
481
00:24:06.170 --> 00:24:08.120 line:15%
of our Ministry Expansion Project,
482
00:24:08.120 --> 00:24:09.500 line:15%
but we'd like to finish it.
483
00:24:09.500 --> 00:24:12.170 line:15%
And if you're not a part of the Giving Team yet, today
484
00:24:12.170 --> 00:24:14.330 line:15%
I want to ask you to join our Giving Team
485
00:24:14.330 --> 00:24:16.880 line:15%
so we can pay off this facility
486
00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:20.600 line:15%
and release all those funds
into taking the teaching
487
00:24:20.600 --> 00:24:23.390 line:15%
of the Bible to the ends of the earth.
488
00:24:33.470 --> 00:24:35.300
I don't know about you, but when I hear
489
00:24:35.300 --> 00:24:38.630
that Jesus is seated at the
right hand of the Father
490
00:24:38.630 --> 00:24:41.480
and he's put all evil under his feet,
491
00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:45.470
and now he ever lives to
make intercession for me,
492
00:24:45.470 --> 00:24:46.910
it thrills my heart.
493
00:24:46.910 --> 00:24:49.640
It means I don't have to do life alone.
494
00:24:49.640 --> 00:24:52.550
If I will go to Jesus and
call out to him in faith
495
00:24:52.550 --> 00:24:57.440
and be bold with my needs,
he will swing into action
496
00:24:57.440 --> 00:25:01.280
to rescue me and to bring me
into a place of preservation
497
00:25:01.280 --> 00:25:03.500
and he'll do the same for you.
498
00:25:03.500 --> 00:25:06.800 line:15%
In my book, we beautifully illustrated Jesus sitting at the
499
00:25:06.800 --> 00:25:10.850 line:15%
right hand of the Father on his throne. My friends, that is
500
00:25:10.850 --> 00:25:12.410 line:15%
where he is today.
501
00:25:12.410 --> 00:25:15.890 line:15%
And for 2000 years, Jesus
has been busy, busy,
502
00:25:15.890 --> 00:25:20.570 line:15%
busy making intercession
for those who come
503
00:25:20.570 --> 00:25:21.920 line:15%
to him.
504
00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:26.090
And if you will go to him
boldly and frankly reverently,
505
00:25:26.090 --> 00:25:29.030
but really speak your heart,
he will swing to action
506
00:25:29.030 --> 00:25:31.850
as a mighty warrior to defend you
507
00:25:31.850 --> 00:25:36.500
and to bring you to a place of rescue. That is his ministry.
508
00:25:36.500 --> 00:25:40.670
And the Bible tells us it is
his most excellent ministry.
509
00:25:40.670 --> 00:25:43.040 line:15%
By the way, if you need
prayer, we wanna pray for you.
510
00:25:43.040 --> 00:25:45.440 line:15%
Let's do it together. Reach out to us,
511
00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:48.410 line:15%
call the number on the
screen or send us an email.
512
00:25:48.410 --> 00:25:51.350 line:15%
And when we hear from you,
we'll go to Jesus with you
513
00:25:51.350 --> 00:25:55.100 line:15%
and Jesus will swing into
action to do what needs
514
00:25:55.100 --> 00:25:56.750 line:15%
to be done.
515
00:25:56.750 --> 00:25:58.130 line:15%
But when we come back tomorrow,
516
00:25:58.130 --> 00:26:00.770 line:15%
we're gonna wrap up this series called Easter -
517
00:26:00.770 --> 00:26:03.140 line:15%
The Rest of the Story. Tomorrow is gonna be very special.
518
00:26:03.140 --> 00:26:06.830 line:15%
Please don't miss tomorrow but put your hand on your heart
519
00:26:06.830 --> 00:26:08.210 line:15%
and let me pray for you right now.
520
00:26:08.210 --> 00:26:12.260 line:15%
Father, I thank you that Jesus
is our great high priest.
521
00:26:12.260 --> 00:26:14.780 line:15%
He's interceding for us.
522
00:26:14.780 --> 00:26:17.450 line:15%
Jesus, I thank you that you're
ready to swing into action
523
00:26:17.450 --> 00:26:18.860 line:15%
for every one of us,
524
00:26:18.860 --> 00:26:20.810 line:15%
and I pray that you will enable my friend
525
00:26:20.810 --> 00:26:22.640 line:15%
to be bold in their requests
526
00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:25.610 line:15%
and that you would
respond by rescuing them
527
00:26:25.610 --> 00:26:28.160 line:15%
and bringing them into a place of safety.
528
00:26:28.160 --> 00:26:32.330 line:15%
In Jesus' name - Amen. I'll see you tomorrow
529
00:26:32.330 --> 00:26:35.480
but remember Ecclesiastes 8:4 says, "Where the word
530
00:26:35.480 --> 00:26:38.120
of a king is, there is power."
531
00:26:40.790 --> 00:26:42.890

549
00:27:32.370 --> 00:27:34.650 line:15%
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
550
00:27:34.650 --> 00:27:39.000 line:15%

I repent of my sin and receive you as my Savior

00:27:49.260 --> 00:27:52.230

555
00:27:52.230 --> 00:27:55.260

557
00:27:59.040 --> 00:28:04.040

right to lay claim on me.

00:28:04.590 --> 00:28:08.580

I will serve you as my Lord
