she did.
-
And Paul took a little bit of time to greet
-
of the church in carib Hi as you heard, take

as we were having as I was having a conversation
-
with Elder Mabel about greeting.

And even if I was doing my prayer walk at

You know they loved me so much. They even asked
-
me to come and live with them when I was

I haven't now a mountain. Paul took the trouble to connect.
-
You're like she wanted and that you heard that totally.
-
And look, when you meet somebody for the first time
-
that you here and you and you look up with
-
them and you say, do you think you will develop
-
any relationships.

Jenny, her Tiger and even her the grand Siema.
-
You go up to them and you say good morning.
-
Should I maintain and it's so nice to see you
-

She eats in me? Do you know that? How many
-
of you when you took the time to smile at
-
someone n woman as your hort city and as she's

She sing? It changed their mind. Hamad that take could
-
have just gone there and say I'm the boss, listen
-
to me. It was was sure you see maybe in

your offices that's your boss talks.
-
Then do it my way on the highway, just the
-
founder brand.

Then you're writing, ess you write in your language, uh

-
a serious apostle can take the time to.
-
Greet the church about okay, and she heard like she
-
just lindsay.
-
You and I can take the time to get something. Woman,
-
I was asking a lot lord, why why this greeting?
-
Why why even talk about the greeting in scripture? Hi
-
on life? She tried every time he wrote a letter,
-
he greeted somebody.
-
If I'm saying to joy got to touch.
-
It's a lesson that if the big guy can do
-
it number pound that mazur, so can you and I No, woman,
-
matur you know all of your young people that were
-
doing it today. No, do not ever stop doing that.
-
She changed because if you continue to do that, God
-
to bless you with good health when she can eat.
-
Why do I say this reading the joy of Jesus everywhere?
-
Why wouldn't God use you way around?
-
That's should?
-
But if you are grumpy and grouchy and hey, hey
-
that hello, good morning? What's so good about the morning,
-
why does God need to keep you around? I mean, really,
-
you bring everybody spirit down.
-
You're Linran.

Need to keep your own more higher like you and
-
Ivy forget the small things that this is showder, don't
-

-
have seen us. As the boat was walked up. It
-
was like twenty people coming to say hello, good morning.

That's a shout at home and to your woman.
-
By the time you got in and we were feeling
-
really energized.
-
Just her face Hander just so your things. You may
-
think this is normal, hander it's not, because it's just
-
a push it continue to work in it. Should that
-
she wanted to show people through your action. Should like
-
you told God. You're saying, don't actually round and you
-
canda so they.
-
Can do it around how many all? That's not the message,
-
just what the Lord asked me to share your that's
-
a sinner.
-
So you're like you around teasing that they got to
-
yoda tongue did.
-
But you must remember that the Book of core Indians
-
is about discipling believers.
-
Soon as culling to as you're like she set out uh.
-
Patient carried. Why did I choose the Book of Corindians.
-
I told you the last time, because it's like us today.
-
There else just yet.
-
You know that Corinthians. Corinth was an economic hub.
-
That good tie that curling to much.

It is the place where people gathered to do business
-
easy like it was the capital of business of the
-
lane founding.
-
You don't see that.

I'm sure you're wondering why you got people running right,
-
because do you know that Corinth had international games that
-
was second only to the Olympics.

Hermon sunk? That's not the way man, not pushing fang fan.
-
What it was like like whole yeah, please don't tell me.
-
I don't understand me, bye, because I came from the
-
same kind of household that girl was talking about.
-
When the chatting is relationship that has.
-
It's a little bit the tough household.
-
Chatting.
-
When I went to Singapore to study, I could have
-
done all sorts of things, okay to run her youngster
-
and I'm not boasting right, I'm telling you the truth.
-
I had girls from other schools coming to see me.
-
I trains how your isn't it so like.
-
I'm telling you the truth and they come and see me. Say,
-
can I look into your eyes? Just okay? I said, why?
-
Because as a wumor going around you've got dreamy eyes.
-
You're mounting?
-
Then is the truth? I'm not joking. I had one
-
girl on the bus wallet and put it in my pocket.
-
Had that take the wallet and give it back? I mean,
-
I could have done whatever I wanted to do, But
-
why didn't I Jesus made the difference in way? Yes,
-
I was just born again, maybe three months. For months
-
when I was alone and the Shona, I didn't feel
-
the need to cut loose. Was she just you were
-
that and get involved with all sorts of funny things?
-
She isn't. And she told you got But the world
-
today is not so easy for you because I acknowledged that.
-
I acknowledge it is tougher for all of you. Oh yes,
-
because the kind of temptations you'll have today, it's probably
-
a hundred times more than in my time.
-
Sir Hannah, busy is and door.
-
And so the world had begun to creep into the church.
-
Now your type mania, she's.
-
And sometimes being very prosperous tends to make you lose
-
sight of what's important.
-
Woman, Hong Kong Roman one that was the church in
-
Corintha girling to the chah.
-
You should say so as I told you it was.
-
It had sports that were second only to the Olympics.
-
Seeing that the amp so more.
-
People came from from all around the world.
-
To light alkaling door.
-
Much like mel like today, I see people from so
-
many different countries.
-
You the gorgeous partumental.
-
If I were to go through each and everyone, I
-
can guarantee you that at least five or six different
-
countries represented in this place. Now like this.
-
Out your uga gorgea the type yard.
-
Some of you may come with some good culture needs
-
and your school spoils you, Nita, your school would spoil you.
-
No need, just the world. Yeah, and you know with wealth, yo,
-
take a ting and a Hong Kong of food comes
-
moral decadence.
-
Your tight tuto that's take a uh, that's morality reduces
-
in when meant to take a tauto ganduate.
-
You know I used to watch this show house. Some
-
many of you watch this. Okay, houses not a home. Okay,
-
house is the name of a doctor. How many do
-
you remember the show? Do you all know House? Take
-
see men? I mean right, if you followed that show,
-
you will find one thing.
-
Log so she put on that you can't proceed around
-
your way fashion get.
-
It started probably in the year two thousand and during
-
the course of that show, the course and down on
-
some of the the you know the people that they're
-
acting Okay, I mean the story was about people who
-
were infected with AIDS.
-
Just Hamman, mam manjusepe b.
-
They were involved in sexual activity that was not normal.
-
Tama Sir wrote out a put in town that this
-
is a singing way.
-
But in those shows in the year two thousand, it
-
was so shameful for them to be found out that
-
they were involved in say sex.
-
Relationship shaming, the sing single and faith that they go
-
so quick.
-
Now that show lasted about ten eleven seasons. By the
-
time it came to two thousand and fifteen, Inhanna, it
-
was no longer a thing in hiding. Everybody was just
-
normal in Chan Jamaica. And that is what moral decadences
-
all about. Juice maybe the right way of living becomes
-
not so normal, and the wrong way of living becomes
-
so normal. Nobody bought a type.
-
How the sceneway pens because you take a hundred and.
-
In the US today, in the state of main time,
-
mame that.
-
Take a sop.
-
Educators have taken the the government to court to make
-
sure that men can take part in women's sports.
-
There are taiman that you realized you concerned for, Like
-
she nonsenkay, like she's on nisan that's in town.
-
Here's the big guy six feet six feet one, six
-
feet two who says.
-
I'm a woman records take a Nansen's a nation.
-
Then it takes part in a volleyball competition.
-
Did she that take the B side?
-
When the ball went up, he slammed the ball into
-
the opponent.
-
Girl's face showed that she paid till something that almost
-
killed her, just as.
-
It disabled her to search an extent. She had to
-
drop out of college for a while. Panthire She in
-
song sang that you real like she and dreams of
-
representing the country tire life.
-
She type, Yeah, that's a monks to pay poor swale.
-
The world professing themselves to be wise, they actually fool No.
-
City in a latitude.
-
Because she's each one weight lifting competitions you on the
-
b side for years. The women will struggle and just
-
like the men and men's competition and to get to
-
the next level, they struggle at half a kilometer half
-
a kilogram, yeah, half a kilogram, one kilogram.
-
You know that kind of thing, right, not just mohamma.
-
Don't their hamas connel or bank.
-
Yes, because as you get really good, a little bit
-
makes a difference.
-
No, not eating in a year your tabi.
-
Then the silly folks allow men to participate in the
-
women's category.
-
The June actually round Nansen like she tan your.
-
And records that have lasted for twenty thirty years broken
-
like that, pay paula maybe by fifty kilograms one hundred kilograms.
-
That got happier.
-
You see, they've lost a sense of Mohammed. And it
-
happened also during Paul's.
-
Time that ye my fashion.
-
So Paul was going to come and disciple the church
-
so that they would live a life of good common sense.
-
Ba You're like, yeah, she took into and she patient
-
hammer had.
-
Do you know in the UK Incuo United Kingdom inco England. Okay,
-
if you pray ruin about something into an offense. It's
-
an offense. It's against the law. Fun you can be
-
fine or go to jail nickle like she paid. I
-
give you an example. If you stand outside the office
-
and you say, Lord, I pray in Jesus name that
-
it won't rain two yester than me, you've broken the
-
law in the UK. You can be jailed for that,
-
nick like she paid. But the latest one because is
-
even worse. I don't even have to see it. Well, come,
-
she's sure, I can go up. Then just keep quite
-
closed my eyes, okay, and still get put in jail okay,
-
like she paid. Fun. The law was passed maybe about
-
a month ago, to the to the to the live,
-
and it is currently being appealed.
-
Sai.
-
This is the world we are living in today.
-
Same time, short sight.
-
Morality is gone crazy. So the Church of Krinth had
-
many problems that face. One of the worst problems was sectarianism.
-
So it's that's juice in a fun Jong pie. What
-
is this pie?
-
Oh? I belong to? Oh? So I cannot go for
-
the combined service, so like you and her, because it's
-
not the same anyway. I mean, look at me, life, life,
-
three four pasts coming out, So how can I go
-
and mix with the common folk? No?
-
Then actually her pinging its she tan you know.
-
But do you know that was what was happening in Corinthian.
-
That's going to jo fashion.
-
I am a student of pastor Ronson shakes to the
-
student of elderble.
-
Okay, her Maigbourn and easy that she just is that
-
got what God wants for the church.
-
Not so Yeah, the man Paul came to set them straight.
-
Fouler light out like she run harmond saw your andsy.
-
The church is not about divisions as.
-
It's about working together.
-
Easy easy, you know.
-
One of the good things that the Mile and myself
-
noticed about the church today, no.
-
Maighbor wards depend.
-
It's greater cooperation among churches.
-
Just since I you're or how that her quan se
-
you know one of.
-
X pastors can go to uh an Anglican church and
-
shadow word.
-
Just okay, should I link like a tongue pihood to finish.
-
Her Methodist church? Really or you know, maybe an ag church.
-
I got on pie.
-
But it wasn't like this in the seventies, and that
-
in the seventies everybody stuck to themselves.
-
That is all major and doesn't go without.
-
That's on pie divisions. Fancy, we just talked about immorality.
-
Put out of the scene.
-
Really, if you you, as we go further, you realize
-
what they were doing in the Corinthian Church.
-
Okay, thet Inou decision.
-
So Paul wanted to dress these issues, She say what he? So?
-
What better way to disciple is in the same way,
-
Paul discipled the Corinthian Church.
-
No Roman, Paul, patients eating to your fank father.
-
We are not interested in how good we are. We
-
are interested in how good God can be in us.
-
When she's a time, who the personal woman to the
-
door house? Assuman, your time? Who the sooner?
-
So I remember that when I shared the role of discipleship, not.
-
One like shea.
-
That's who we talk about learning and teaching. Just share.
-
How did we see it here in Pa the student
-
became the teacher right to the flowers. Emanuel past emanual
-
Less Pastor, Steven Stephen Chanda, That's what it's all about
-
in my own beginning, my own start in my Christian faith.
-
Now what is it you do to that young help?
-
I would say that before I knew so much of theology,
-
No what you honing to? In my first three or
-
four months of being a Christian?
-
What is santat?
-
Six people became born again, either directly or indirectly through.
-
That little and just faith, just a She told, what
-
is a sunction?
-
Out of six three pastors.
-
Your little giry men? I said, sanways, what did I know?
-
I remember telling you teach what you do know?
-
So you just your.
-
Don't what you know? And when I went to Singapore,
-
I was maybe four months. Is a Christian closes friends?
-
Eighteen the parnimn.
-
One's a church builders once become a missionary even addition,
-
another one loves the Lord?
-
Now why I got to face an ice and and
-
one of.
-
My classmates became pastor.
-
Tom Chanda Because it's not about me evenly high, but.
-
I was willing to talk about what I knew? No sooner?
-
What so you need?
-
Like like she finished on Italian.
-
So by fostering this culture of mentorship and support, the
-
church can guide individuals to becoming reflectors of christ love.
-
So like she was she pay, yeah, I finishing like
-
she runs and that the Indien she paid.
-
You know you and I you know what we're supposed
-
to do. We're supposed to become christ like.
-
No woman, so yeah too that you said, like you come, tito.
-
Does that mean you will be fully like Jesus Christ?
-
Just the type and one.
-
Young man?
-
No way, I look at my you know. I frequently
-
had these conversations held able and say, I think people
-
don't like us. Now push, young woman, we must be
-
terrible people. You don't look so surprised.
-
That's your hunting.
-
Yah. That's because when you're trying to do what's right,
-
doesn't like it, you can push you, honey, and you
-
will bring people against you. Run. She don't. So you
-
know we've gone through thirty years of that for years,
-
just a teening man, forty years going through forty years,
-
you know, and that's okay.
-
Let make one see so.
-
In this process where you're going to go in your life,
-
it's going to be all right.
-
Say none, make one see that.
-
How many of you go to class and for no
-
reason the teacher doesn't like you? None, eve when you're say,
-
does that your hands sounds? How many you go to
-
a place you know you're under school and for no
-
reason that people don't like you? It's so hard to
-
make friends? She opened your So I actually asked these
-
