God’s Heart Series: Episode One - Eden

1
00:00:01,757.0909090909 --> 00:00:05,587.0909090909
Hello, my name is Kevin Griffin, and welcome to Conversations of Faith.

2
00:00:07,67.0909090909 --> 00:00:11,657.090909091
Before we get started in our episode today, I wanna ask you a question.

3
00:00:13,427.089909091 --> 00:00:50,33.090909091
Have you ever felt a deep sense of emptiness even though things seem to be relatively okay in your life? How about a sense of loneliness even though you may be connected with a lot of people? I mean, like, no matter how much you achieve, no matter how good your relationships are or how busy you seem to keep yourself, there's still a part of you searching for something more Well, today we're going to talk about why that ache exists.

4
00:00:51,823.090909091 --> 00:00:53,23.090909091
Because it isn't random.

5
00:00:54,523.090909091 --> 00:01:08,131.090909091
It's actually what I call the echo of Eden Welcome to Conversations of Faith, a place for hope and encouragement through the Word of God.

6
00:01:08,791.090909091 --> 00:01:25,97.090909091
We pray that today's episode speaks to your heart Hey, I wanna thank all of you for taking the time to tune in to this episode.

7
00:01:26,87.090909091 --> 00:01:30,97.090909091
Today, we're kicking off a brand-new series called God's Heart.

8
00:01:31,657.090909091 --> 00:01:53,159.09090909
And this entire series is about looking past our relationship with God as a set of rules to follow or perfect behavior to keep, and it's about getting back to the core of what God actually wants for you and me And that's to know His heart for us.

9
00:01:54,309.09090909 --> 00:02:07,129.08990909
I think so much of what we do as believers is trying to live up to or live into what the Word of God calls for us.

10
00:02:08,69.09090909 --> 00:02:22,409.08990909
And we get so busy in doing that we don't really take time to think of the one thing that God wants us to know more than anything, and that's His heart for us.

11
00:02:23,209.09090909 --> 00:02:34,299.09090909
How much He loves us, how much He's done to bring us to be, and how much He's done to bring us back to the original plan He had designed for us.

12
00:02:35,599.08790909 --> 00:02:39,919.08990909
So in today's episode, we're going to go all the way back to the beginning.

13
00:02:41,419.09190909 --> 00:02:49,309.08790909
We're gonna look at the Garden of Eden and the divine union God planned for humanity.

14
00:02:50,939.08790909 --> 00:02:56,869.09190909
Right now, if you wanna open your Bible or go get your Bible, uh, maybe you wanna pause right now.

15
00:02:57,469.09090909 --> 00:03:04,389.09290909
We're going to look at Genesis chapter one, and we're gonna start in verse 26.

16
00:03:05,639.08890909 --> 00:03:09,269.08690909
But before we read, I'd like to pray for our time together.

17
00:03:11,39.09090909 --> 00:03:15,209.09190909
Lord God, we are grateful for who You are in our lives.

18
00:03:16,459.08890909 --> 00:03:26,639.09090909
Father, for all the things that You do, um, and all the things that we don't recognize that You do to constantly demonstrate Your faithfulness to us, Your children.

19
00:03:27,879.08690909 --> 00:03:44,49.09090909
Father, there are many of us today who are caught up in things that keep us distracted from knowing You completely, from knowing Your love completely, and for feeling and experiencing the peace and joy that You promise when we are connected with You.

20
00:03:44,929.08990909 --> 00:04:17,79.08390909
So Father, we ask Your forgiveness for all those things we've allowed to take priority in our lives, and we ask that in this moment that You would allow us to be open to Your presence, to Your voice, Lord God, so that we can hear and receive what it is that You have for us today in Your Word, that our lives can be blessed, that we can be encouraged in our circumstances, and that You bring back to the forefront the hope that You have given us through our Savior, Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.

21
00:04:17,709.08090909 --> 00:04:20,569.09390909
We thank You for this time, and we commend it all to You.

22
00:04:21,219.09090909 --> 00:04:22,759.08390909
It's in Jesus' name that we pray.

23
00:04:23,559.08690909 --> 00:04:24,69.08690909
Amen.

24
00:04:26,227.09090909 --> 00:04:35,337.09090909
So where we're gonna pick things up, um, God has already gone through five days of creation, and we are going to pick it up on day six.

25
00:04:35,657.08990909 --> 00:04:56,277.09090909
And starting in verse 26, it says, "Then God said, 'Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.'

26
00:04:57,787.08990909 --> 00:05:00,527.08890909
So God created mankind in His own image.

27
00:05:01,427.09190909 --> 00:05:03,557.08990909
In the image of God, He created them.

28
00:05:03,937.08990909 --> 00:05:06,907.08890909
Male and female, He created them.

29
00:05:08,127.08890909 --> 00:05:12,847.08990909
God blessed them and said to them, 'Be fruitful and increase in number.

30
00:05:13,777.08990909 --> 00:05:15,187.08990909
Fill the earth and subdue it.

31
00:05:16,367.08990909 --> 00:05:23,157.08990909
Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, and over every living creature that moves on the ground.'

32
00:05:25,37.08890909 --> 00:05:34,397.08890909
Then God said, 'I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it.

33
00:05:35,347.08590909 --> 00:05:37,327.08890909
They will be yours for food.

34
00:05:38,487.09290909 --> 00:05:52,737.09090909
And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky, and all the creatures that move along the ground, everything that has the breath of life in it, I give every green plant for food.'

35
00:05:54,177.08790909 --> 00:05:55,7.09290909
And it was so."

36
00:05:56,847.08590909 --> 00:06:03,807.08790909
This is my favorite part, "God saw all that He had made, and it was very good."

37
00:06:06,333.09090909 --> 00:06:14,973.09090909
Now, as we begin to unpack this piece of scripture, there's something that I think is first important to note.

38
00:06:16,263.09090909 --> 00:06:20,253.09090909
You have this repetition of God created man in His image.

39
00:06:21,963.08990909 --> 00:06:25,193.08990909
God created humanity in His own image.

40
00:06:26,973.09090909 --> 00:06:31,963.08990909
Now, think about that for a second, because the context of this matters.

41
00:06:33,203.08990909 --> 00:06:55,119.09090909
God didn't create humans to be servants standing at a distance He didn't make subjects meant to just bow low before an unreachable throne He made them, man and woman, as His image bearer, reflections of His likeness and His character.

42
00:06:57,39.09090909 --> 00:07:01,529.09090909
So God didn't just make a man and a woman, a male and a female.

43
00:07:02,469.08990909 --> 00:07:34,75.08990909
He made them, us, you and me, with characteristics and attributes similar to Himself And this life that he, this life form that he created, he created this amazing garden for them to dwell in, where it says all of the food, everything that they need, the food is supplied to them.

44
00:07:35,565.08990909 --> 00:07:38,415.08990909
They are given everything to rule over.

45
00:07:39,655.08990909 --> 00:07:52,381.09090909
There's nothing that's above them other than God And so this, this place was not a temporary test site to see if kind of this dynamic with God would work.

46
00:07:53,861.09090909 --> 00:07:55,581.09090909
This was home with God.

47
00:07:56,701.09090909 --> 00:08:08,231.09090909
So Eden was home with God, a home that he prepared with everything in it for Adam and Eve to enjoy in his presence.

48
00:08:10,81.08990909 --> 00:08:13,681.09090909
Scripture gives us a glimpse of these incredible things.

49
00:08:14,931.08990909 --> 00:08:19,961.08790909
Adam and Eve walk with God in the cool of the day, we find out later.

50
00:08:21,441.09090909 --> 00:08:26,511.08890909
They worked alongside of him, tending the garden and naming.

51
00:08:26,521.08890909 --> 00:08:28,41.08890909
Adam named all the animals.

52
00:08:29,531.09090909 --> 00:08:50,411.08990909
They participated in creative work, keeping what God had placed into their care As I said, they ate from His provisions, slept under His care, and lived in unbroken communion with Him and each other.

53
00:08:51,831.09090909 --> 00:08:55,231.08990909
And I think that that's so important for us to note.

54
00:08:56,891.09090909 --> 00:08:58,281.08990909
Unbroken communion.

55
00:08:59,681.08990909 --> 00:09:07,581.09090909
So that means there was a unity between God and man and woman, and man and woman themselves.

56
00:09:08,731.08990909 --> 00:09:25,231.08990909
It was part of this perfect, complete environment where there was order and balance to everything, to the earth, to the atmosphere, for life of animals, for life of humanity.

57
00:09:26,291.08890909 --> 00:09:48,631.09090909
This perfect place that was created for man and woman to dwell in the presence of God, and He gave them the privilege to fill it and multiply, to fill it with children.

58
00:09:50,411.08790909 --> 00:10:26,845.09090909
And so you have just this picture of these valuable two people that God created to live in unity with Him Not as a distant deity, but right there in the midst of man and woman, Adam and Eve, to enjoy that all God had created specifically for them As I said, God provided all they needed to live in abundance.

59
00:10:28,605.09090909 --> 00:10:31,885.09090909
Everything He created was for them to enjoy.

60
00:10:33,405.09090909 --> 00:10:44,305.09090909
And, and here's-- I want to highlight this point, and I'm asking that you just take a moment to sit up and really take this in.

61
00:10:46,285.08990909 --> 00:11:07,21.09090909
They weren't trying to earn God's presence They weren't striving to prove their worth They belonged to God and God belonged to them Divine union with God was their very nature.

62
00:11:08,481.09090909 --> 00:11:14,821.08990909
It wasn't something that they had to hope for, to work themselves into.

63
00:11:15,711.09090909 --> 00:11:21,811.09090909
It was part of God's plan so that it's their very nature.

64
00:11:21,811.09090909 --> 00:12:06,935.09090909
They know nothing different but to be in union with the creator of heaven and earth It's what they were made for And this is the point I want to make and have you really let sink in, and it's what you and I were made for For divine union with God to be the very nature of who we are And we know that because of what has happened in the garden afterwards, that we're so far away from that divine union being the very nature of who we are.

65
00:12:08,535.09090909 --> 00:12:18,509.09090909
Now, in Genesis chapter three, the serpent enters And it says he was the craftiest of all creatures.

66
00:12:19,809.09090909 --> 00:12:28,529.09090909
And so the lie was simple: "You will be like God," it says in Genesis chapter 3 verse 5.

67
00:12:29,949.09090909 --> 00:12:32,289.08990909
"You will be like God."

68
00:12:34,209.08990909 --> 00:12:47,717.09090909
Now, a- and this is what's, what's crazy, and, and we have the scripture in hindsight to look at this, but think about the irony in the statement They were already like God.

69
00:12:49,197.09090909 --> 00:12:51,847.09090909
They were already made in His image.

70
00:12:53,787.09090909 --> 00:13:08,125.09090909
But yet the serpent deceived them with the idea that there's something that has been withheld from them The lie planted a seed of doubt.

71
00:13:10,75.09090909 --> 00:13:28,213.09090909
It whispered that the union with God wasn't enough That the divine union that they had in perfect order and balance with God wasn't enough That they needed independence from all those things.

72
00:13:30,3.09090909 --> 00:13:55,523.09090909
They were tempted into being their own authority, their own source of truth, their own God So, so think about that in your own life today Being tempted into being your own authority, your own source of truth To be your own God.

73
00:13:57,183.09090909 --> 00:14:00,923.09090909
You know, we have this saying in our culture, "My truth."

74
00:14:01,593.09090909 --> 00:14:02,853.09090909
Everyone has their truth.

75
00:14:03,643.09090909 --> 00:14:06,873.08990909
So everyone has become the source of their own truth.

76
00:14:08,413.08990909 --> 00:14:18,393.09090909
Everyone wants to be the own authority, the only authority in their lives, that there is no other voice that they let in except the one that's in their head.

77
00:14:20,333.08990909 --> 00:15:44,215.09090909
And we lift ourselves up We wanna make a name for ourselves to be viewed as our own gods, to be worshiped by others That out of all God had provided for them So all that God had provided for Adam and Eve The serpent planted in their mind that somehow going their own way would bring them more than what they already had They had it all And somehow They wanted to, or the serpent wanted to give them the impression that God missed giving them something that they really needed, and that that thing that He missed can only be found outside of Him and everything that He established and put in place for them What a devastating lie when we look at the account that we just read starting in verse 26 of chapter one, that all that God had established.

78
00:15:45,225.09090909 --> 00:17:24,55.0909091
What a lie that made them forget that the whole thing was created for them For you and me to live in divine union with the creator of heaven and earth That somehow there's more to have and enjoy away from God Something more than all that he established in the heaven and earth And so we know what happened next They ate They ate of the fruit, and the perfect order and balance that God created for them and creation and for you and me today was broken It wasn't just they sinned against God Everything that God had done for perfect and order, for perfect order, excuse me, and balance in divine union with God for eternity was broken And after that took place, you can see immediately they hid from God's presence When the presence of God brought so much joy and delight, they now hid from God's presence.

79
00:17:25,445.0909091 --> 00:17:32,305.0909091
When His presence was the source of life for them, they hid from His presence.

80
00:17:33,725.0899091 --> 00:19:06,771.0909091
They begin blaming each other, so noticing the faults now in one another Prior to that, they were one, equal, and now they're blaming each other And as a result, they were cast out of the garden This perfect place that was made for them to enjoy The choice that they made caused them to forfeit what God had created for them to steward together with Him The divine unity with God, creation, and each other was shattered I'm gonna ask that you just close your eyes and try and visualize the moment Maybe the moment that they realized that something awful had happened They were separated from God, from all God intended for them to enjoy, including Himself Now, in their defense We have hindsight.

81
00:19:08,531.0909091 --> 00:19:34,269.0909091
But if you ask what was so important, what could it have possibly been that they were missing that God overlooked That they wanted to gain to where they risked all that they were given What could it have been? The truth is nothing.

82
00:19:35,849.0909091 --> 00:19:39,299.0909091
There was nothing left for them to gain.

83
00:19:40,259.0909091 --> 00:19:51,739.0909091
God, in His infinite wisdom, in His generosity, His kindness, His love, His consideration, took everything into account.

84
00:19:53,139.0909091 --> 00:19:54,919.0899091
They had it all already.

85
00:19:56,909.0899091 --> 00:20:52,803.0909091
Everything, including God Himself Now, if we look closely and examine this moment a little bit more It completely changes, or should I say it can completely change how we understand our purpose today You see, humanity's core purpose, unlike we live today, isn't just about survival getting by, accumulating wealth or amassing accomplishments But unfortunately, that is the paradigm of life that we live in Just trying to survive.

86
00:20:54,363.0909091 --> 00:21:35,337.0909091
How many of you today are sitting in survival mode? Just trying to get by, get through another day, another season Or how many of you have immersed yourself in accumulating wealth to have the sense of security that the void of letting God fill your lives creates? Wealth is a good thing But it doesn't solve the inner longing And our achievements.

87
00:21:37,57.0909091 --> 00:21:48,217.0909091
Our lives become about trying to achieve every little thing that gives us a sense of worth, a sense of value, so that we can say we're someone.

88
00:21:49,207.0909091 --> 00:21:53,177.0909091
And more importantly, that others can look at us and say, "Look, that person is someone."

89
00:21:55,859.0909091 --> 00:22:23,453.0909091
That's not the way that we were designed to live And that's why living this way is so fleeting, empty, and more importantly, exhausting You see, we live as this is really how it's supposed to be done now, but it's not our core purpose according to the way that God designed us.

90
00:22:25,433.0909091 --> 00:22:59,79.0909091
Our core purpose is being present with God Being present with God That is the sole thing that we were created for, to be present with God I want you to say, if you will, with me My purpose is to be present with God, the God who created me and the heavens and the earth.

91
00:23:00,339.0909091 --> 00:24:00,281.0909091
That is what I was created for, to be present with God So when Eden was lost It wasn't just the loss of a beautiful garden or a loss of innocence It was the loss of our home Our separation from our true source of life And I'm sure that when Adam and Eve considered things before they chose to eat of the fruit They didn't realize all the impact that that would have They lost Eden, the home that God prepared for them And they were separated from the true source of life.

92
00:24:01,261.0909091 --> 00:24:19,93.0909091
And when I say life, I mean the source that sustained them, that cared for them, that loved them, that valued them, where they had a sense of purpose, worth, value They were separated from all of that.

93
00:24:20,133.0909091 --> 00:24:32,407.0909091
And all of that is what actually makes a person feel and be, not just feel, but makes them be alive That's living.

94
00:24:34,27.0909091 --> 00:24:35,297.0909091
Surviving isn't living.

95
00:24:36,567.0909091 --> 00:25:08,607.0909091
Trying to get by isn't living Amassing, working and focusing on amassing wealth isn't living Building a name for yourself so that you can be adorned by others, that's not living Because in God's perfect plan for humanity He had it all baked in to where we draw all of that that we long for, the longing that He placed in us.

96
00:25:10,137.0909091 --> 00:25:11,167.0909091
We draw it from Him.

97
00:25:12,577.0909091 --> 00:25:55,565.0909091
And when we are connected to God and not separated from God, we get to experience the fullness of life because all of those things within us that are important for us in our being is filled So I want you to think of sin for a moment now Because this is a, this is a thing that we have to deal with as part of being in this fallen world.

98
00:25:57,505.0909091 --> 00:26:30,657.0909091
But this morning or today, whatever time you're listening, I wanna reframe how you think about sin for a moment It's not primarily about breaking a set of hard rules, commandments Sin is the evidence of a broken relationship I'll say it again.

99
00:26:32,297.0909091 --> 00:27:38,503.0909091
I want you to think of sin Like at the root of sin, sin is the evidence of a broken relationship It's what happens when we choose independence over union, when we choose self over God, when we choose our own way over His presence It's the reflection of the broken relationship that occurred in the garden So our choice is to reject what God says and to do what we believe is best for us, being our own authority, our own god That is a reflection of the separation that occurred.

100
00:27:40,433.0909091 --> 00:27:55,153.0909091
And as long as we are functioning in that Heart posture, that attitude, that mindset I wanna reject what God says and I wanna do what I want.

101
00:27:55,153.0909091 --> 00:27:56,313.0909091
I wanna be my own authority.

102
00:27:56,313.0909091 --> 00:27:57,523.0909091
I wanna be my own god.

103
00:27:59,253.0909091 --> 00:28:10,451.0909091
We are denying ourselves The source That fills us, that completes us.

104
00:28:11,441.0909091 --> 00:29:00,721.0909091
We are denying him the opportunity to come in and undo the brokenness, to restore the right relationship And so it's important Sin is a, it's rebellion But it is the evidence of the relationship that was broken in the garden Now, as I begin to Close I wanna point out pattern that we see throughout scripture.

105
00:29:02,611.0909091 --> 00:29:22,111.0909091
You know, the story in Genesis It presents a pattern that re- that, that repeats across the entire Bible God creates us for relationship Humanity breaks that relationship through rebellion.

106
00:29:23,861.0909091 --> 00:29:56,553.0909091
God relentlessly pursues restoration If you read through the Old Testament, looking at Israel, God's chosen people called out of Egypt into divine relationship with himself because of his covenant to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob They rebelled frequently, breaking the covenant relationship that they had with God.

107
00:29:58,273.0909091 --> 00:30:21,773.0899091
But because they were so valuable and so important to Him, He relentlessly pursued restoration with them Every story that comes after Eden, every prophet, every covenant, every promise is God saying, "I will not let this be the end of the story.

108
00:30:23,473.0909091 --> 00:30:25,803.0899091
I will not let this separation be permanent."

109
00:30:28,273.0909091 --> 00:30:44,533.0909091
I will pursue my children and bring them back to me Every story that we read throughout the Old Testament is God being faithful to these very words.

110
00:30:45,933.0899091 --> 00:30:49,83.0909091
I will not let this separation be permanent.

111
00:30:50,163.0909091 --> 00:31:09,21.0909091
I will pursue my children and bring them back to me The Old Testament prophets, they're always talking about restoration, the restoration of Israel after they rebelled against God.

112
00:31:10,121.0909091 --> 00:31:13,781.0899091
Jesus speaks in the Gospels about being born again.

113
00:31:15,771.0909091 --> 00:31:18,41.0899091
The old is gone, the new has come.

114
00:31:19,61.0909091 --> 00:31:21,341.0909091
Being a new creation in Christ.

115
00:31:22,301.0909091 --> 00:31:24,381.0899091
Paul writes about reconciliation.

116
00:31:26,211.0909091 --> 00:31:28,531.0909091
They're all reaching back to Eden.

117
00:31:30,361.0899091 --> 00:31:43,327.0909091
They're all pointing to God's heart Everything in the word of God points back to His heart, restoring what was lost and bringing humanity back into divine union.

118
00:31:43,647.0909091 --> 00:32:10,209.0909091
That is God's plan, that is God's purpose, and nothing will get in His way He's committed to it because we matter Later on in one of the episodes, we're gonna get into Luke chapter 15, where we look at things and people that were lost And all of those parables are designed to illustrate God's heart.

119
00:32:10,209.0909091 --> 00:32:10,239.0909091
He's not indifferent.

120
00:32:10,239.0909091 --> 00:32:10,379.0909091
Simply because He has billions, He doesn't worry about your life or my life.

121
00:32:10,379.0909091 --> 00:32:10,469.0909091
He says, "No, Kevin, your life matters to me.

122
00:32:10,469.0909091 --> 00:32:14,329.0909091
I want you 'cause I created you for divine union with me."

123
00:32:36,209.0909091 --> 00:32:55,497.0909091
I sent my son so that you can be restored back to your rightful place with me God is committed to His plan And we thank God that he's committed.

124
00:32:56,357.0909091 --> 00:32:58,367.0909091
He can't be moved from his plan.

125
00:32:59,197.0909091 --> 00:33:00,437.0909091
He's unshakable.

126
00:33:01,97.0909091 --> 00:33:02,587.0909091
He's faithful to his word.

127
00:33:03,17.0909091 --> 00:33:50,215.0909091
He cannot lie And that's the good news for you and me He desires us in His presence, and He won't stop until we are in His presence So many people, and I know I've gone through my seasons of feeling this deep sense of emptiness without ever putting a name on it I just knew I was hurting Something in my life was missing.

128
00:33:52,35.0909091 --> 00:37:07,1.0909091
I didn't think enough to equate it to God So I searched for meaning, belonging, and connection with all the things the world offers that supposedly will give you that sense of meaning, that sense of belonging, and that sense of connection I tried to fill the void with work, with relationships, achievements, and just plain out being distracted, finding anything that I could do to numb myself To escape the idea that there's something inside that hurts, that's not satisfied And many people try to do the same thing, to fill the void with work, relationships, achievements, and all kinds of distractions God brought me to the point where I realized nothing satisfies because nothing else is God Nothing satisfies Because nothing else is God So that ache that you may feel It's not intended to bring guilt or shame That ache is long- longing It's longing for what only God can fill That ache you feel is the echo of Eden, the reminder of what you were originally made for And in closing, I want you to Ask yourself What does it feel like when you feel distant from God's presence? And have you felt that emptiness that no amount of success, pleasure, or status can seem to fill? Don't feel ashamed Don't feel guilty We were lied to, and the lie exists today to try and lead us to believe that somehow in all that God did, He missed something Something that we can only experience or get outside of Him And that the purpose of our lives is to pursue the lie that something was missed.

129
00:37:08,831.0909091 --> 00:37:24,261.0909091
And so Adam and Eve fell for it, and so many of us fall for it today But the good news is that God hasn't abandoned you or His plan for your life.

130
00:37:25,831.0909091 --> 00:37:30,321.0909091
He is actively pursuing you even now through these words.

131
00:37:31,891.0909091 --> 00:38:25,745.0909091
He's pursuing you through the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross He wants to restore you to Himself And he's made the way in which to do that, both now and for all eternity Now until we meet again on the next episode, I'm going to ask that I wanna ask that you, I guess I was gonna say marinate, but meditate on this thought And hold it close to your heart You were made for God.

132
00:38:27,585.0909091 --> 00:38:37,133.0909091
I was made for God Not for money, not for status, not for approval, not for comfort.

133
00:38:38,473.0909091 --> 00:39:48,941.0909091
You were created for union with the God of heaven and earth Nothing, and I wanna say if I can in all caps, nothing that we choose to fill our lives with, nothing can ever give us what can only come from the source of life If you've never experienced that union, meaning you've never opened your heart to receive Jesus Christ or if you've wandered away from it Know this to be true God is calling you home today with a father's heart He does not have a mean face, a stern voice He has an open arm and he's calling you home to your rightful place with him He's pursuing you.

134
00:39:50,631.0909091 --> 00:40:03,555.0909091
And the question is this: Will you turn towards him? I wanna thank you for tuning in to episode one of this God's Heart series.

136
00:40:07,485.0909091 --> 00:40:22,795.0909091
