PASTOR JOHN HAGEE: CHRISTIANITY BEGINS WITH A FISH STORY.
00:00:14.942 --> 00:00:16.944
BEGINS WITH A FISH STORY. THE DISCIPLES HAD FINISHED ALL
00:00:17.011 --> 00:00:18.479
THE DISCIPLES HAD FINISHED ALL NIGHT ON THE SEA OF GALILEE --
00:00:18.546 --> 00:00:21.182
NIGHT ON THE SEA OF GALILEE -- HAD FISHED ALL NIGHT,
00:00:21.248 --> 00:00:22.216
HAD FISHED ALL NIGHT, AND CAUGHT NOTHING.
00:00:22.283 --> 00:00:23.984
AND CAUGHT NOTHING. THEY HAD DRAGGED THEIR NETS
00:00:24.051 --> 00:00:25.419
THEY HAD DRAGGED THEIR NETS THROUGH THE COLD, MURKY WATERS.
00:00:25.486 --> 00:00:27.855
THROUGH THE COLD, MURKY WATERS. AND EACH TIME,
00:00:27.922 --> 00:00:28.722
AND EACH TIME, THEY PULLED THEM UP
00:00:28.789 --> 00:00:30.091
THEY PULLED THEM UP FULL OF EXPECTATION
00:00:30.157 --> 00:00:31.959
FULL OF EXPECTATION ONLY TO FIND NOTHING.
00:00:32.026 --> 00:00:35.429
ONLY TO FIND NOTHING. THE SIGN OF CHRISTIANITY
00:00:35.496 --> 00:00:37.364
THE SIGN OF CHRISTIANITY IS A FISH.
00:00:37.431 --> 00:00:38.899
IS A FISH. SAINT PETER IS CALLED
00:00:38.966 --> 00:00:41.102
SAINT PETER IS CALLED "THE BIG FISHERMAN."
00:00:41.168 --> 00:00:43.104
"THE BIG FISHERMAN." I SAW A SIGN THE OTHER DAY
00:00:43.170 --> 00:00:44.572
I SAW A SIGN THE OTHER DAY THAT SAID,
00:00:44.638 --> 00:00:45.339
THAT SAID, "BORN TO FISH;
00:00:45.406 --> 00:00:47.274
"BORN TO FISH; FORCED TO WORK."
00:00:47.341 --> 00:00:49.477
FORCED TO WORK." (LAUGHTER)
00:00:49.543 --> 00:00:50.578
(LAUGHTER) EVERYONE HAS A FISH STORY,
00:00:50.644 --> 00:00:52.680
EVERYONE HAS A FISH STORY, SO HERE'S MINE.
00:00:52.746 --> 00:00:54.515
SO HERE'S MINE. WHEN I WAS 12 YEARS OF AGE
00:00:54.582 --> 00:00:56.150
WHEN I WAS 12 YEARS OF AGE IN THE FALL OF 1952,
00:00:56.217 --> 00:00:59.019
IN THE FALL OF 1952, MY FATHER WAS AN EVANGELIST,
00:00:59.086 --> 00:01:00.621
MY FATHER WAS AN EVANGELIST, AND WE WERE IN CORPUS CHRISTI
00:01:00.688 --> 00:01:01.956
AND WE WERE IN CORPUS CHRISTI HOLDING A REVIVAL.
00:01:02.022 --> 00:01:03.958
HOLDING A REVIVAL. AND A PROFESSIONAL FISHERMAN
00:01:04.024 --> 00:01:05.192
AND A PROFESSIONAL FISHERMAN ASKED MY FATHER IF HE COULD
00:01:05.259 --> 00:01:07.027
ASKED MY FATHER IF HE COULD TAKE ME FISHING
00:01:07.094 --> 00:01:07.795
TAKE ME FISHING ON SOUTH PADRE ISLAND
00:01:07.862 --> 00:01:09.997
ON SOUTH PADRE ISLAND ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON.
00:01:10.064 --> 00:01:12.566
ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON. DAD SAID TO THE FISHERMAN,
00:01:12.633 --> 00:01:14.635
DAD SAID TO THE FISHERMAN, "HAVE MY SON, JOHN,
00:01:14.702 --> 00:01:15.603
"HAVE MY SON, JOHN, HOME BEFORE MIDNIGHT,
00:01:15.669 --> 00:01:17.404
HOME BEFORE MIDNIGHT, BECAUSE NO SON OF MINE IS GOING
00:01:17.471 --> 00:01:18.806
BECAUSE NO SON OF MINE IS GOING TO BE FISHING ON SUNDAY."
00:01:18.873 --> 00:01:20.941
TO BE FISHING ON SUNDAY." DAD WAS EVER STRICT
00:01:21.008 --> 00:01:22.576
DAD WAS EVER STRICT WITH THE RULES.
00:01:22.643 --> 00:01:23.878
WITH THE RULES. FISHING ON SUNDAY,
00:01:23.944 --> 00:01:24.778
FISHING ON SUNDAY, WITH DAD WAS ALMOST AS BAD AS
00:01:24.845 --> 00:01:27.114
WITH DAD WAS ALMOST AS BAD AS BEING CAUGHT IN A LIQUOR STORE.
00:01:27.181 --> 00:01:29.650
BEING CAUGHT IN A LIQUOR STORE. (LAUGHTER)
00:01:29.717 --> 00:01:30.384
(LAUGHTER) AND THOSE WHO WERE CAUGHT THERE
00:01:30.451 --> 00:01:31.318
AND THOSE WHO WERE CAUGHT THERE WERE GOING STRAIGHT TO HELL,
00:01:31.385 --> 00:01:32.486
WERE GOING STRAIGHT TO HELL, ACCORDING TO HIM.
00:01:32.553 --> 00:01:34.255
ACCORDING TO HIM. (LAUGHTER)
00:01:34.321 --> 00:01:35.022
(LAUGHTER) ON THE WAY TO PADRE ISLAND,
00:01:35.089 --> 00:01:36.390
ON THE WAY TO PADRE ISLAND, THE FISHERMAN TOLD ME;
00:01:36.457 --> 00:01:37.258
THE FISHERMAN TOLD ME; HE SAID, "JOHN, THIS ISLAND
00:01:37.324 --> 00:01:39.126
HE SAID, "JOHN, THIS ISLAND HAS LOTS OF WILD COYOTES,
00:01:39.193 --> 00:01:40.694
HAS LOTS OF WILD COYOTES, MOST OF WHICH ARE RABID,
00:01:40.761 --> 00:01:42.429
MOST OF WHICH ARE RABID, SO BE VERY CAREFUL.
00:01:42.496 --> 00:01:43.931
SO BE VERY CAREFUL. ALSO THERE'S AN ANGLER'S
00:01:43.998 --> 00:01:45.366
ALSO THERE'S AN ANGLER'S TOURNAMENT GOING ON,
00:01:45.432 --> 00:01:46.333
TOURNAMENT GOING ON, AGES 12 THROUGH 16.

AGES 12 THROUGH 16. AND IF YOU CATCH
00:01:48.969 --> 00:01:49.503
AND IF YOU CATCH THE BIGGEST FISH,
00:01:49.570 --> 00:01:50.371
THE BIGGEST FISH, YOU GET TO WIN
00:01:50.437 --> 00:01:51.772
YOU GET TO WIN A SCHWINN BICYCLE."
00:01:51.839 --> 00:01:53.607
A SCHWINN BICYCLE." LET ME TELL YOU
00:01:53.674 --> 00:01:54.175
LET ME TELL YOU A SCHWINN BICYCLE TO ME
00:01:54.241 --> 00:01:55.509
A SCHWINN BICYCLE TO ME WAS LIKE A MERCEDES.
00:01:55.576 --> 00:01:57.344
WAS LIKE A MERCEDES. I WANTED IT.
00:01:57.411 --> 00:01:59.246
I WANTED IT. WE WERE --
00:01:59.313 --> 00:02:00.247
WE WERE -- SO WE WENT OUT.
00:02:00.314 --> 00:02:00.814
SO WE WENT OUT. WE WERE WADE FISHING.
00:02:00.881 --> 00:02:01.749
WE WERE WADE FISHING. I'D NEVER WADE FISHED BEFORE.
00:02:01.815 --> 00:02:03.984
I'D NEVER WADE FISHED BEFORE. I FISHED FURIOUSLY,
00:02:04.051 --> 00:02:05.286
I FISHED FURIOUSLY, AND LIKE THE DISCIPLES,
00:02:05.352 --> 00:02:06.320
AND LIKE THE DISCIPLES, I CAUGHT NOTHING.
00:02:06.387 --> 00:02:08.122
I CAUGHT NOTHING. ABOUT 11 O'CLOCK,
00:02:08.189 --> 00:02:09.423
ABOUT 11 O'CLOCK, I WENT TO THE SHORE
00:02:09.490 --> 00:02:10.424
I WENT TO THE SHORE AND WENT TO THE TRUCK.
00:02:10.491 --> 00:02:11.859
AND WENT TO THE TRUCK. THEN I SAW A COYOTE CREEP OUT
00:02:11.926 --> 00:02:13.861
THEN I SAW A COYOTE CREEP OUT OF THE DARKNESS BETWEEN
00:02:13.928 --> 00:02:15.930
OF THE DARKNESS BETWEEN THE SAND DUNES.
00:02:15.996 --> 00:02:17.598
THE SAND DUNES. MY 12-YEAR-OLD BRAIN WENT INTO
00:02:17.665 --> 00:02:19.333
MY 12-YEAR-OLD BRAIN WENT INTO HIGH GEAR.
00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:20.935

(LAUGHTER) IT'S AN ASSUMPTION
00:02:35.115 --> 00:02:35.716
IT'S AN ASSUMPTION BUT IT'S NOT IN THE CONTRACT.
00:02:35.783 --> 00:02:37.585
BUT IT'S NOT IN THE CONTRACT. (LAUGHTER)
00:02:37.651 --> 00:02:38.719
(LAUGHTER) SO I BAITED THE HOOK
00:02:38.786 --> 00:02:40.154
SO I BAITED THE HOOK WITH A WEINER.
00:02:40.221 --> 00:02:40.754
WITH A WEINER. TOOK IT OUT 50 YARDS,

AS THE MULTITUDE PRESSED ABOUT HIM TO HEAR THE WORD OF GOD,
00:03:24.898 --> 00:03:27.334
HIM TO HEAR THE WORD OF GOD, THAT HE STOOD BY THE LAKE
00:03:27.401 --> 00:03:29.637
THAT HE STOOD BY THE LAKE OF GENNESARET --
00:03:29.703 --> 00:03:30.504

00:03:30.571 --> 00:03:32.406
THIS IS THE SEA OF GALILEE. -- AND SAW TWO BOATS
00:03:32.473 --> 00:03:33.340
-- AND SAW TWO BOATS STANDING BY THE LAKE.
00:03:33.407 --> 00:03:34.975
STANDING BY THE LAKE. BUT THE FISHERMEN HAD GONE
00:03:35.042 --> 00:03:36.176
BUT THE FISHERMEN HAD GONE FROM THEM AND WERE WASHING
00:03:36.243 --> 00:03:37.978
FROM THEM AND WERE WASHING THEIR NETS.
00:03:38.045 --> 00:03:39.346
THEIR NETS. THEN HE GOT INTO ONE

AND ASKED HIM TO PUT OUT A LITTLE FROM THE LAND.
00:03:44.318 --> 00:03:45.919

AND HE SAT DOWN AND HE TAUGHT THE MULTITUDES FROM THE BOAT.
00:03:47.321 --> 00:03:49.757
THE MULTITUDES FROM THE BOAT. WHEN HE HAD STOPPED SPEAKING,
00:03:49.823 --> 00:03:51.325
WHEN HE HAD STOPPED SPEAKING, HE SAID TO SIMON PETER,
00:03:51.392 --> 00:03:53.127
HE SAID TO SIMON PETER, "LAUNCH OUT INTO THE DEEP
00:03:53.193 --> 00:03:54.395
"LAUNCH OUT INTO THE DEEP AND LET DOWN YOUR NETS
00:03:54.461 --> 00:03:55.529
AND LET DOWN YOUR NETS FOR A CATCH."
00:03:55.596 --> 00:03:56.997
FOR A CATCH." BUT SIMON ANSWERED
00:03:57.064 --> 00:03:58.065
BUT SIMON ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO HIM, "MASTER,
00:03:58.132 --> 00:03:59.900
AND SAID UNTO HIM, "MASTER, WE HAVE TOILED ALL NIGHT
00:03:59.967 --> 00:04:01.602

AND CAUGHT NOTHING; NEVERTHELESS, AT YOUR WORD,
00:04:03.437 --> 00:04:05.906
NEVERTHELESS, AT YOUR WORD, I WILL LET DOWN THE NET."
00:04:05.973 --> 00:04:07.975
I WILL LET DOWN THE NET." AND WHEN THEY HAD DONE THIS,
00:04:08.042 --> 00:04:09.176
AND WHEN THEY HAD DONE THIS, THEY CAUGHT A GREAT NUMBER
00:04:09.243 --> 00:04:10.177
THEY CAUGHT A GREAT NUMBER OF FISH,
00:04:10.244 --> 00:04:10.878
OF FISH, AND THEIR NET WAS BREAKING.
00:04:10.944 --> 00:04:12.746
AND THEIR NET WAS BREAKING. SO THAT THEY SIGNALED THEIR
00:04:12.813 --> 00:04:14.214
SO THAT THEY SIGNALED THEIR PARTNERS IN THE OTHER BOATS
00:04:14.281 --> 00:04:15.316
PARTNERS IN THE OTHER BOATS TO COME AND TO HELP THEM.
00:04:15.382 --> 00:04:16.817
TO COME AND TO HELP THEM. AND THEY CAME AND FILLED BOTH
00:04:16.884 --> 00:04:19.186
AND THEY CAME AND FILLED BOTH THE BOATS,
00:04:19.253 --> 00:04:19.820

SO WHEN THEY HAD BROUGHT THEIR BOATS TO LAND,
00:04:27.161 --> 00:04:28.996
THEIR BOATS TO LAND, THEY FORSOOK ALL AND FOLLOWED
00:04:29.063 --> 00:04:31.332
THEY FORSOOK ALL AND FOLLOWED HIM.

YOU MAY BE SEATED. THIS SUCCESS STORY BEGINS
00:04:52.052 --> 00:04:54.488
THIS SUCCESS STORY BEGINS WITH FAILURE.
00:04:54.555 --> 00:04:56.256
WITH FAILURE. THERE ARE TWO BOATS
00:04:56.323 --> 00:04:57.091
THERE ARE TWO BOATS ON THE BEACH.
00:04:57.157 --> 00:04:57.958
ON THE BEACH. THEY ARE EMPTY.
00:04:58.025 --> 00:04:59.560
THEY ARE EMPTY. THE NETS HAD BEEN WASHED.

EVERY MIRACLE OF JESUS HAD A MESSAGE.
00:06:13.867 --> 00:06:14.935
HAD A MESSAGE. AND THE MESSAGE OF THIS MIRACLE
00:06:15.002 --> 00:06:16.470

PERSISTENCE OVERCOMES RESISTANCE.
00:06:20.307 --> 00:06:21.375
RESISTANCE. JESUS GOT INTO SIMON PETER'S
00:06:21.442 --> 00:06:22.943
JESUS GOT INTO SIMON PETER'S BOAT AND GAVE HIM A COMMAND,
00:06:23.010 --> 00:06:25.078
BOAT AND GAVE HIM A COMMAND, "LAUNCH OUT INTO THE DEEP."
00:06:25.145 --> 00:06:27.581

DO SOMETHING NEW. DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
00:06:29.082 --> 00:06:30.751
DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT. JESUS WAS SAYING,
00:06:30.818 --> 00:06:31.985
JESUS WAS SAYING, I KNOW YOU'VE TRIED YOUR BEST.
00:06:32.052 --> 00:06:33.654

BY PERSISTENCE, THE SNAIL REACHED THE ARK.
00:06:42.729 --> 00:06:46.900
THE SNAIL REACHED THE ARK. (LAUGHTER)
00:06:46.967 --> 00:06:50.637

AND PULLED HIM IN. (LAUGHTER)
00:06:55.242 --> 00:06:55.609
(LAUGHTER) PERSISTENCE IS THE WILLINGNESS
00:06:55.676 --> 00:06:56.877
PERSISTENCE IS THE WILLINGNESS TO GIVE ANOTHER TRY RATHER THAN
00:06:56.944 --> 00:06:59.213
TO GIVE ANOTHER TRY RATHER THAN TO LOOK FOR AN ALIBI.
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:01.715
TO LOOK FOR AN ALIBI. PERSISTENCE FINDS A WAY
00:07:01.782 --> 00:07:03.951
PERSISTENCE FINDS A WAY WHILE OTHERS ARE LOOKING FOR
00:07:04.017 --> 00:07:05.118

YOU ARE. IF YOU THINK YOU DARE NOT,
00:07:13.393 --> 00:07:15.329
IF YOU THINK YOU DARE NOT, YOU WON'T.

YOU WON'T. IF YOU WANT TO WIN
00:07:17.531 --> 00:07:18.632
IF YOU WANT TO WIN BUT DON'T THINK YOU CAN WIN,
00:07:18.699 --> 00:07:20.567
BUT DON'T THINK YOU CAN WIN, YOU WON'T WIN.
00:07:20.634 --> 00:07:22.936
YOU WON'T WIN. IF YOU THINK YOU'RE

IF YOU THINK YOU'RE OUT CLASSED,
00:07:23.670 --> 00:07:25.038
OUT CLASSED, YOU ARE.
00:07:25.105 --> 00:07:26.740
YOU ARE. IF YOU THINK LIKE A CHAMPION,
00:07:26.807 --> 00:07:28.442
IF YOU THINK LIKE A CHAMPION, YOU CAN BE A CHAMPION.
00:07:28.509 --> 00:07:29.943
YOU CAN BE A CHAMPION. BUT YOU WILL NOT BE A CHAMPION
00:07:30.010 --> 00:07:31.578
BUT YOU WILL NOT BE A CHAMPION UNTIL YOU THINK LIKE
00:07:31.645 --> 00:07:32.546
UNTIL YOU THINK LIKE A CHAMPION.
00:07:32.613 --> 00:07:34.047
A CHAMPION. [Amen!]

[Amen!] (APPLAUSE)
00:07:35.215 --> 00:07:39.987
(APPLAUSE) THIS MIRACLE STORY IS THE STORY
00:07:40.053 --> 00:07:41.622
THIS MIRACLE STORY IS THE STORY OF BEING A SERVANT.
00:07:41.688 --> 00:07:43.857
OF BEING A SERVANT. AFTER FISHING ALL NIGHT,
00:07:43.924 --> 00:07:45.025
AFTER FISHING ALL NIGHT, THE DISCIPLES BEACHED
00:07:45.092 --> 00:07:46.793
THE DISCIPLES BEACHED THEIR BOATS.
00:07:46.860 --> 00:07:47.394
THEIR BOATS. THEY WASHED THEIR NETS.
00:07:47.461 --> 00:07:48.495
THEY WASHED THEIR NETS. THEY MENDED THE RIPS AND
00:07:48.562 --> 00:07:49.796
THEY MENDED THE RIPS AND THE TEARS THE ROCKS HAD MADE
00:07:49.863 --> 00:07:51.765
THE TEARS THE ROCKS HAD MADE ON THEIR NETS.
00:07:51.832 --> 00:07:53.600
ON THEIR NETS. AND SUDDENLY THERE'S
00:07:53.667 --> 00:07:54.334
AND SUDDENLY THERE'S AN EXCITEMENT IN THE VILLAGE.
00:07:54.401 --> 00:07:56.937
AN EXCITEMENT IN THE VILLAGE. THE STREETS ARE PACKED,
00:07:57.004 --> 00:07:58.305
THE STREETS ARE PACKED, FOLLOWING A YOUNG RABBI,
00:07:58.372 --> 00:08:00.674
FOLLOWING A YOUNG RABBI, THIS JESUS OF NAZARETH.
00:08:00.741 --> 00:08:02.609
THIS JESUS OF NAZARETH. THE CROWD'S PUSHED DOWN TO
00:08:02.676 --> 00:08:04.177
THE CROWD'S PUSHED DOWN TO THE VERY EDGE OF THE SEA
00:08:04.244 --> 00:08:05.846
THE VERY EDGE OF THE SEA OF GALILEE.
00:08:05.913 --> 00:08:07.180
OF GALILEE. JESUS GOT INTO SIMON'S BOAT
00:08:07.247 --> 00:08:09.049
JESUS GOT INTO SIMON'S BOAT AND COMMANDED HIM,
00:08:09.116 --> 00:08:10.317
AND COMMANDED HIM, "PUSH OUT FROM THE LAND."
00:08:10.384 --> 00:08:13.387
"PUSH OUT FROM THE LAND." THE POINT IS,
00:08:13.453 --> 00:08:14.488
THE POINT IS, HE TAUGHT THEM TO BE SERVANTS
00:08:14.555 --> 00:08:16.990
HE TAUGHT THEM TO BE SERVANTS BEFORE HE ALLOWED THEM TO BE
00:08:17.057 --> 00:08:18.525
BEFORE HE ALLOWED THEM TO BE DISCIPLES.
00:08:18.592 --> 00:08:20.294
DISCIPLES. WHAT IS YOUR ATTITUDE TOWARD

WHAT IS YOUR ATTITUDE TOWARD BEING A SERVANT OF THE KINGDOM
00:08:21.695 --> 00:08:22.863
BEING A SERVANT OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD?
00:08:22.930 --> 00:08:23.797
OF GOD? MENTION THE WORD "SERVANT"
00:08:23.864 --> 00:08:25.098
MENTION THE WORD "SERVANT" IN THE AVERAGE CHURCH,
00:08:25.165 --> 00:08:26.199
IN THE AVERAGE CHURCH, AND THERE'S A STAMPEDE
00:08:26.266 --> 00:08:27.267

00:08:31.505 --> 00:08:32.573
TO SERVE GOD, BUT ONLY AS A CONSULTANT,
00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:34.107

THE MENTAL IMAGE WE HAVE OF A SERVANT
00:08:37.511 --> 00:08:39.880
OF A SERVANT IS THAT OF A PATHETIC CREATURE,
00:08:39.947 --> 00:08:41.982
IS THAT OF A PATHETIC CREATURE, VIRTUALLY WITHOUT WILL
00:08:42.049 --> 00:08:43.817
VIRTUALLY WITHOUT WILL OR PURPOSE IN LIFE.
00:08:43.884 --> 00:08:45.919
OR PURPOSE IN LIFE. WE SEE A SERVANT AS SOMEONE
00:08:45.986 --> 00:08:47.554
WE SEE A SERVANT AS SOMEONE BENT OVER,
00:08:47.621 --> 00:08:48.689
BENT OVER, CRUSHED IN SPIRIT,
00:08:48.755 --> 00:08:50.591

00:16:01.888 --> 00:16:02.756
THERE WERE MANY FISHERMEN ON THAT BANK.
00:16:02.822 --> 00:16:04.657
ON THAT BANK. THEY WERE LISTENING TO
00:16:04.724 --> 00:16:05.625
THEY WERE LISTENING TO THIS CARPENTER TELL A CAREER
00:16:05.692 --> 00:16:08.194
THIS CARPENTER TELL A CAREER FISHERMAN TO DO THINGS THEY HAD
00:16:08.261 --> 00:16:10.964
FISHERMAN TO DO THINGS THEY HAD NEVER DONE IN THEIR LIFE,
00:16:11.031 --> 00:16:13.400
NEVER DONE IN THEIR LIFE, WATCHING TO SEE IF HE WOULD
00:16:13.466 --> 00:16:14.534
WATCHING TO SEE IF HE WOULD OBEY JESUS.
00:16:14.601 --> 00:16:16.136
OBEY JESUS. THEY LAUGHED.
00:16:16.202 --> 00:16:17.604
THEY LAUGHED. FISHING IN DEEP WATER WITH NETS
00:16:17.670 --> 00:16:19.239
FISHING IN DEEP WATER WITH NETS IN THE DAYTIME,
00:16:19.305 --> 00:16:20.206
IN THE DAYTIME, WHAT A JOKE.
00:16:20.273 --> 00:16:22.208
WHAT A JOKE. IT'S LIKE FISHING FOR MOBY DICK
00:16:22.275 --> 00:16:23.610
IT'S LIKE FISHING FOR MOBY DICK WITH A CANE POLE.
00:16:23.676 --> 00:16:25.412
WITH A CANE POLE. (LAUGHTER)
00:16:25.478 --> 00:16:26.713
(LAUGHTER) LISTEN.
00:16:26.780 --> 00:16:27.914
LISTEN. PUBLIC OPINION MUST NEVER
00:16:27.981 --> 00:16:29.182
PUBLIC OPINION MUST NEVER INTERFERE WITH YOUR OBEDIENCE
00:16:29.249 --> 00:16:31.384
INTERFERE WITH YOUR OBEDIENCE TO GOD'S WORD.
00:16:31.451 --> 00:16:33.019
TO GOD'S WORD. [Amen!]
00:16:33.086 --> 00:16:33.787
[Amen!] CHURCH, DO NOT ALLOW
00:16:33.853 --> 00:16:35.422
CHURCH, DO NOT ALLOW PUBLIC OPINION TO CONTROL
00:16:35.488 --> 00:16:37.057
PUBLIC OPINION TO CONTROL YOUR SPEECH.
00:16:37.123 --> 00:16:38.291
YOUR SPEECH. IT'S CALLED,
00:16:38.358 --> 00:16:38.758
IT'S CALLED, POLITICAL CORRECTNESS.
00:16:38.825 --> 00:16:41.561
POLITICAL CORRECTNESS. PUBLIC OPINION HAS CALLED
00:16:41.628 --> 00:16:42.996
PUBLIC OPINION HAS CALLED PORNOGRAPHY "ART."
00:16:43.063 --> 00:16:45.231
PORNOGRAPHY "ART." IT'S NOT ART;
00:16:45.298 --> 00:16:45.999
IT'S NOT ART; IT'S TRASH.
00:16:46.066 --> 00:16:47.934
IT'S TRASH. PUBLIC OPINION HAS CALLED
00:16:48.001 --> 00:16:49.169
PUBLIC OPINION HAS CALLED PROFANITY "FREEDOM OF SPEECH."
00:16:49.235 --> 00:16:52.338
PROFANITY "FREEDOM OF SPEECH." PUBLIC OPINION HAS CALLED
00:16:52.405 --> 00:16:53.740
PUBLIC OPINION HAS CALLED ADULTERY "FREE --
00:16:53.807 --> 00:16:55.508
ADULTERY "FREE -- "FREE LOVE."
00:16:55.575 --> 00:16:56.309
"FREE LOVE." IT'S NOT FREE
00:16:56.376 --> 00:16:57.210
IT'S NOT FREE AND IT'S NOT LOVE.
00:16:57.277 --> 00:16:59.145
AND IT'S NOT LOVE. PUBLIC OPINION HAS CALLED
00:16:59.212 --> 00:17:00.580
PUBLIC OPINION HAS CALLED ABORTION "FREEDOM OF CHOICE."
00:17:00.647 --> 00:17:02.582
ABORTION "FREEDOM OF CHOICE." FREEDOM OF CHOICE DOES NOT
00:17:02.649 --> 00:17:03.983
FREEDOM OF CHOICE DOES NOT GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO MURDER
00:17:04.050 --> 00:17:05.718
GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO MURDER THE UNBORN CHILD IN YOUR WOMB.
00:17:05.785 --> 00:17:08.388
THE UNBORN CHILD IN YOUR WOMB. [Amen!]
00:17:08.455 --> 00:17:09.689
[Amen!] (APPLAUSE)
00:17:09.756 --> 00:17:16.029
(APPLAUSE) THE FIFTH REASON PETER MIGHT
00:17:16.096 --> 00:17:17.263
THE FIFTH REASON PETER MIGHT HAVE DISOBEYED THE COMMAND
00:17:17.330 --> 00:17:18.364
HAVE DISOBEYED THE COMMAND TO LAUNCH INTO THE DEEP,
00:17:18.431 --> 00:17:19.732
TO LAUNCH INTO THE DEEP, WAS ABSOLUTELY CONTRARY
00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:21.468
WAS ABSOLUTELY CONTRARY TO WHAT PETER UNDERSTOOD
00:17:21.534 --> 00:17:23.670
TO WHAT PETER UNDERSTOOD WITH FISHING.
00:17:23.736 --> 00:17:25.205
WITH FISHING. I REPEAT,
00:17:25.271 --> 00:17:26.873
I REPEAT, IN PETER'S GENERATION,
00:17:26.940 --> 00:17:28.441
IN PETER'S GENERATION, THEY FISHED AT NIGHT
00:17:28.508 --> 00:17:29.409
THEY FISHED AT NIGHT IN THE SHALLOW WATER,
00:17:29.476 --> 00:17:30.276
IN THE SHALLOW WATER, NOT IN THE DEEP OR IN THE DAY.
00:17:30.343 --> 00:17:32.912
NOT IN THE DEEP OR IN THE DAY. THE POINT IS,
00:17:32.979 --> 00:17:33.580
THE POINT IS, WHEN GOD SPEAKS TO YOU,
00:17:33.646 --> 00:17:35.949
WHEN GOD SPEAKS TO YOU, IF YOU OBEY ONLY WHAT YOU
00:17:36.015 --> 00:17:37.951
IF YOU OBEY ONLY WHAT YOU UNDERSTAND,
00:17:38.017 --> 00:17:39.752
UNDERSTAND, YOU WILL NEVER OBEY GOD.
00:17:39.819 --> 00:17:42.322
YOU WILL NEVER OBEY GOD. IF YOU OBEY WHEN YOU
00:17:42.388 --> 00:17:43.556
IF YOU OBEY WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND,
00:17:43.623 --> 00:17:44.591
UNDERSTAND, THAT'S AGREEMENT.
00:17:44.657 --> 00:17:46.459
THAT'S AGREEMENT. IF YOU OBEY WHEN YOU DON'T
00:17:46.526 --> 00:17:47.961
IF YOU OBEY WHEN YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND,
00:17:48.027 --> 00:17:49.129
UNDERSTAND, THAT'S FAITH.
00:17:49.195 --> 00:17:50.864
THAT'S FAITH. AND WITHOUT FAITH,
00:17:50.930 --> 00:17:51.898
AND WITHOUT FAITH, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE GOD.
00:17:51.965 --> 00:17:54.901
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE GOD. IF YOU'RE WAITING
00:17:54.968 --> 00:17:55.802
IF YOU'RE WAITING TO UNDERSTAND,
00:17:55.869 --> 00:17:57.604
TO UNDERSTAND, YOU'RE GOING TO WAIT
00:17:57.670 --> 00:17:58.204
YOU'RE GOING TO WAIT A LONG TIME.
00:17:58.271 --> 00:18:00.306
A LONG TIME. GOD DOES NOT EXPLAIN HIMSELF
00:18:00.373 --> 00:18:02.175
GOD DOES NOT EXPLAIN HIMSELF UNTIL YOU TAKE ACTION.
00:18:02.242 --> 00:18:04.477
UNTIL YOU TAKE ACTION. MOSES WOULD HAVE DIED
00:18:04.544 --> 00:18:05.712
MOSES WOULD HAVE DIED ON THE BACKSIDE OF THAT DESERT
00:18:05.778 --> 00:18:07.213
ON THE BACKSIDE OF THAT DESERT IF HE HADN'T GONE BACK
00:18:07.280 --> 00:18:08.181
IF HE HADN'T GONE BACK INTO EGYPT.
00:18:08.248 --> 00:18:10.216
INTO EGYPT. I MAY NOT UNDERSTAND
00:18:10.283 --> 00:18:11.317
I MAY NOT UNDERSTAND "LAUNCH OUT INTO THE DEEP"
00:18:11.384 --> 00:18:12.485
"LAUNCH OUT INTO THE DEEP" IN THE DAYLIGHT.
00:18:12.552 --> 00:18:13.953
IN THE DAYLIGHT. BUT I CAN OBEY AND CATCH FISH,
00:18:14.020 --> 00:18:15.889
BUT I CAN OBEY AND CATCH FISH, OR DISOBEY AND REMAIN
00:18:15.955 --> 00:18:17.557
OR DISOBEY AND REMAIN FRUSTRATED ON THE BEACH,
00:18:17.624 --> 00:18:19.592
FRUSTRATED ON THE BEACH, BROKE AND BEATEN.
00:18:19.659 --> 00:18:22.328
BROKE AND BEATEN. LISTEN TO THIS.
00:18:22.395 --> 00:18:23.730
LISTEN TO THIS. WHEN JOHN TELLS THIS
00:18:23.796 --> 00:18:24.931
WHEN JOHN TELLS THIS FISH STORY,
00:18:24.998 --> 00:18:26.366
FISH STORY, THE SAME ONE,
00:18:26.432 --> 00:18:27.700
THE SAME ONE, IN CHAPTER 21:11,
00:18:27.767 --> 00:18:29.569
IN CHAPTER 21:11, HE ADDS ONE CURIOUS DETAIL,
00:18:29.636 --> 00:18:32.505
HE ADDS ONE CURIOUS DETAIL, THE FISH NUMBER 153.
00:18:32.572 --> 00:18:37.977
THE FISH NUMBER 153. NOTHING IN THE BIBLE
00:18:38.044 --> 00:18:39.012
NOTHING IN THE BIBLE IS POINTLESS.
00:18:39.078 --> 00:18:41.014
IS POINTLESS. WHY WERE THERE 153 FISH?
00:18:41.080 --> 00:18:45.585
WHY WERE THERE 153 FISH? HERE'S WHY;
00:18:45.652 --> 00:18:47.053
HERE'S WHY; JEROME STATES THAT ACCORDING
00:18:47.120 --> 00:18:48.354
JEROME STATES THAT ACCORDING TO GREEK HISTORIANS,
00:18:48.421 --> 00:18:49.956
TO GREEK HISTORIANS, THERE WERE 153 DIFFERENT KINDS
00:18:50.023 --> 00:18:52.225
THERE WERE 153 DIFFERENT KINDS OF FISH IN THE SEA.
00:18:52.292 --> 00:18:54.127
OF FISH IN THE SEA. IN THE BIBLE,
00:18:54.194 --> 00:18:54.994
IN THE BIBLE, THE SEA REPRESENTS THE EARTH.
00:18:55.061 --> 00:18:57.463
THE SEA REPRESENTS THE EARTH. JESUS CALLED US TO BE FISHERS
00:18:57.530 --> 00:18:59.065
JESUS CALLED US TO BE FISHERS OF MEN.
00:18:59.132 --> 00:19:00.099
OF MEN. FISH,
00:19:00.166 --> 00:19:00.767
FISH, REPRESENTING PEOPLE IN THIS
00:19:00.833 --> 00:19:02.402
REPRESENTING PEOPLE IN THIS STORY.
00:19:02.468 --> 00:19:03.536
STORY. THERE ARE 153 FISH REPRESENTING
00:19:03.603 --> 00:19:06.306
THERE ARE 153 FISH REPRESENTING PEOPLE FROM EVERY KINDRED,
00:19:06.372 --> 00:19:07.707
PEOPLE FROM EVERY KINDRED, TRIBE,
00:19:07.774 --> 00:19:08.308
TRIBE, AND NATION ON THE FACE
00:19:08.374 --> 00:19:09.676
AND NATION ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH.
00:19:09.742 --> 00:19:10.910
OF THE EARTH. JESUS WAS TEACHING THAT
00:19:10.977 --> 00:19:12.345
JESUS WAS TEACHING THAT UNTIL YOU HAVE CARRIED
00:19:12.412 --> 00:19:13.880
UNTIL YOU HAVE CARRIED THE GOSPEL MESSAGE
00:19:13.947 --> 00:19:14.948
THE GOSPEL MESSAGE TO EVERY PERSON ON EARTH,
00:19:15.014 --> 00:19:17.283
TO EVERY PERSON ON EARTH, YOUR MISSION IS NOT
00:19:17.350 --> 00:19:18.651
YOUR MISSION IS NOT ACCOMPLISHED.
00:19:18.718 --> 00:19:20.353
ACCOMPLISHED. FOR 42 YEARS,
00:19:20.420 --> 00:19:21.421
FOR 42 YEARS, CORNERSTONE CHURCH HAS
00:19:21.487 --> 00:19:23.122
CORNERSTONE CHURCH HAS FULFILLED THE GREAT COMMISSION
00:19:23.189 --> 00:19:25.091
FULFILLED THE GREAT COMMISSION BY PREACHING THE WORD OF GOD
00:19:25.158 --> 00:19:26.659
BY PREACHING THE WORD OF GOD OVER TELEVISION
00:19:26.726 --> 00:19:27.760
OVER TELEVISION SIX DAYS OF THE WEEK.
00:19:27.827 --> 00:19:29.395
SIX DAYS OF THE WEEK. I WANT TO THANK THOSE OF YOU
00:19:29.462 --> 00:19:30.897
I WANT TO THANK THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE IN THIS AUDIENCE AND
00:19:30.964 --> 00:19:32.298

THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE WATCHING ACROSS AMERICA,

ACROSS AMERICA, WHO HAVE SUPPORTED US
00:19:35.134 --> 00:19:36.736
WHO HAVE SUPPORTED US AND MADE IT POSSIBLE,
00:19:36.803 --> 00:19:37.937
AND MADE IT POSSIBLE, FOR 42 YEARS,
00:19:38.004 --> 00:19:39.572
FOR 42 YEARS, FOR US TO PREACH
00:19:39.639 --> 00:19:40.840
FOR US TO PREACH THE UNMITIGATED GOSPEL
00:19:40.907 --> 00:19:42.875
THE UNMITIGATED GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST TO THE NATIONS
00:19:42.942 --> 00:19:44.744
OF JESUS CHRIST TO THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD.
00:19:44.811 --> 00:19:46.879
OF THE WORLD. (APPLAUSE)
00:19:46.946 --> 00:19:51.351
(APPLAUSE) THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST
00:19:51.417 --> 00:19:53.753
THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST MENTALLY-CHALLENGING VERSES
00:19:53.820 --> 00:19:56.856
MENTALLY-CHALLENGING VERSES IN THE SCRIPTURE FOR ME;
00:19:56.923 --> 00:20:00.126
IN THE SCRIPTURE FOR ME; "AND THEY FORSOOK ALL
00:20:00.193 --> 00:20:02.562
"AND THEY FORSOOK ALL AND FOLLOWED HIM."
00:20:02.629 --> 00:20:04.731
AND FOLLOWED HIM." THEY FORSOOK THEIR BOATS,
00:20:04.797 --> 00:20:06.032
THEY FORSOOK THEIR BOATS, THEIR NETS,
00:20:06.099 --> 00:20:06.966
THEIR NETS, THEIR FAMILIES,
00:20:07.033 --> 00:20:08.368
THEIR FAMILIES, THEIR FUTURE PLANS,
00:20:08.434 --> 00:20:10.336
THEIR FUTURE PLANS, AND THEY FOLLOWED JESUS.
00:20:10.403 --> 00:20:12.805
AND THEY FOLLOWED JESUS. FORSAKING ALL IS
00:20:12.872 --> 00:20:13.873
FORSAKING ALL IS ILLUSTRATED IN THE PARABLE
00:20:13.940 --> 00:20:16.776
ILLUSTRATED IN THE PARABLE OF THE PEARL OF GREAT PRICE.
00:20:16.843 --> 00:20:19.646
OF THE PEARL OF GREAT PRICE. THE STORY GOES LIKE THIS.
00:20:19.712 --> 00:20:20.980
THE STORY GOES LIKE THIS. I MAN WALKED INTO
00:20:21.047 --> 00:20:21.981
I MAN WALKED INTO A JEWELRY STORE.
00:20:22.048 --> 00:20:24.017
A JEWELRY STORE. AND HE SAW THIS BEAUTIFUL
00:20:24.083 --> 00:20:25.318
AND HE SAW THIS BEAUTIFUL PEARL.
00:20:25.385 --> 00:20:27.487
PEARL. AND HE LOVED IT VERY MUCH.
00:20:27.553 --> 00:20:31.157
AND HE LOVED IT VERY MUCH. AND HE ASKED THE OWNER
00:20:31.224 --> 00:20:32.659
AND HE ASKED THE OWNER OF THE STORE,
00:20:32.725 --> 00:20:33.192
OF THE STORE, "HOW MUCH IS IT?"
00:20:33.259 --> 00:20:35.428
"HOW MUCH IS IT?" AND THE SELLER SAID,
00:20:35.495 --> 00:20:36.329
AND THE SELLER SAID, "WELL, THIS IS THE PEARL
00:20:36.396 --> 00:20:38.998
"WELL, THIS IS THE PEARL OF GREAT PRICE.
00:20:39.065 --> 00:20:40.333
OF GREAT PRICE. IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE."
00:20:40.400 --> 00:20:41.834
IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE." THE BUYER SAID, "HOW MUCH?"
00:20:41.901 --> 00:20:44.103
THE BUYER SAID, "HOW MUCH?" THE SELLER SAID,
00:20:44.170 --> 00:20:44.837
THE SELLER SAID, "A VERY LARGE AMOUNT."
00:20:44.904 --> 00:20:47.206
"A VERY LARGE AMOUNT." "WELL DO YOU THINK I CAN

"WELL DO YOU THINK I CAN BUY IT?"
00:20:48.074 --> 00:20:48.741
BUY IT?" THE SELLER SAID, "OF COURSE.
00:20:48.808 --> 00:20:50.009
THE SELLER SAID, "OF COURSE. EVERYONE CAN BUY IT."
00:20:50.076 --> 00:20:52.612
EVERYONE CAN BUY IT." THE BUYER SAID,
00:20:52.679 --> 00:20:53.313
THE BUYER SAID, "DIDN'T YOU SAY IT WAS
00:20:53.379 --> 00:20:54.147
"DIDN'T YOU SAY IT WAS VERY EXPENSIVE?"
00:20:54.213 --> 00:20:54.981
VERY EXPENSIVE?" THE SELLER SAID,
00:20:55.048 --> 00:20:55.815
THE SELLER SAID, "YES, IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE.
00:20:55.882 --> 00:20:58.117
"YES, IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE. THE COST IS EVERYTHING YOU
00:20:58.184 --> 00:20:59.485
THE COST IS EVERYTHING YOU HAVE,
00:20:59.552 --> 00:21:00.820
HAVE, EVERYTHING YOU HAVE."
00:21:00.887 --> 00:21:04.090
EVERYTHING YOU HAVE." THE BUYER SAID,
00:21:04.157 --> 00:21:04.590
THE BUYER SAID, "ALRIGHT; I'LL BUY IT."
00:21:04.657 --> 00:21:06.526
"ALRIGHT; I'LL BUY IT." THE SELLER SAID,
00:21:06.592 --> 00:21:07.126
THE SELLER SAID, "WHAT DO YOU HAVE?
00:21:07.193 --> 00:21:08.494
"WHAT DO YOU HAVE? LET'S TAKE A PAPER AND A PEN,

LET'S TAKE A PAPER AND A PEN, AND WRITE IT DOWN."
00:21:10.496 --> 00:21:12.298
AND WRITE IT DOWN." THE BUYER SAID,
00:21:12.365 --> 00:21:12.899
THE BUYER SAID, "I HAVE $10.000 IN THE BANK."
00:21:12.965 --> 00:21:15.501
"I HAVE $10.000 IN THE BANK." THE SELLER SAID, "THAT'S GOOD.
00:21:15.568 --> 00:21:16.636
THE SELLER SAID, "THAT'S GOOD. THAT MONEY IS MINE.
00:21:16.703 --> 00:21:18.271
THAT MONEY IS MINE. WHAT ELSE DO YOU HAVE?"
00:21:18.338 --> 00:21:19.939
WHAT ELSE DO YOU HAVE?" THE BUYER SAID,
00:21:20.006 --> 00:21:20.506
THE BUYER SAID, "NOTHING; THAT'S ALL,
