Everywhere.
So we also have a song like a sing.

Because the Savior shed is what you want to wait and see.
Let's pray after the Lord for His help. Our God and Father give thanks for the wonderful love of the Lord Jesus Christ. We give thanks that he came down to suffer for our sins, to have our sins laid on Him.
We just give thanks now for this time. We can come together to sing hymns about the Lord Jesus. We ask for help to understand the gospel message this morning. In Jesus name we pray. Amen. There was a man named Sergey Kordakov. He lived in Russia and he did not like Jesus. He hated Jesus. He went into meetings like this and he would beat the people and he would arrest them.
And put them in prison.
Sometimes she would kill the people.
Does somebody have a song you'd like to sing?
#46
Thank you, thank you, man. Let's come. Do I save me?
And he calls and he falls home, and he arrived. And he wants all three of the three always do.
Tuesday I feel him and I am on their sins washed away.
In a country called Vietnam.
There was a little girl. She was about five years old.
Her daddy likes to preach the gospel.
One thing every day Daddy would go out and he would come back home for lunch.
One day, Daddy didn't come home for lunch.
The mother She went into the police station to find out where he might be.
And there she saw Daddy.
Being beaten by the policeman.
The kick.
The mother out, They wouldn't let her in there.
They killed Ben Padok.
Because he loved Jesus.
Did someone else have a song you'd like to sing?
How about we sing #40?
1St 2 verses.
Jesus loved me this night.
When I reach my dear strong, yes, he comes from sleep and he's like one thing.
00:05:09
And he's unplugged. He's not. My whole tells me so.
She does love me here tonight and get to open one. He will watch away my sins.
Where it's old children.
And she's some fun tree. Yes, Jesus must be. He asked me. Yes, she's like 1/3, 951.
OK, so in.
In Malawi there was a little 4 year old boy.
Last time in November when I went to visit there.
He was excited that there was a visitor.
The meeting had begun and some people came in late and they had some children about his age, and he points to them, He says. Lochi is here.
And everybody, laughs the poor little boy.
He was so embarrassed he cried in his mother's skirt for the rest of the meeting.
Two months ago, that little boy's grandpa.
The village came to him and asked him to be the village headman, the chiefs of the village.
Now the chief of the village has to do something that dishonor the Lord Jesus and so the the the, the grandpa, he said no, I I'm a Christian, I can't do those things.
That night, the villagers came.
To Malaga Ali's house and they burned his house.
He lost everything.
All his clothes and his bibles, he lost everything.
Let's sing #42.
A7 year old A three or four year old child can be saved. I'm going to tell you another story about a 10 year old a girl in India from Orissa province. Her name was Namrata. Now she was 10 years old and she was a Christian and the Hindus were coming to kill the Christians. And so she ran to hide.
And the mob of men, they came and they were searching the house trying to find the Christians, and they burned the house down and they put a bomb in the house. And the little girl, Namrata, the bomb exploded in her face and her face was all burned.
Her 16 year old sister picked her up and they ran into the forest to hide.
The poor girl was in pain the whole night. The next morning they went to the hospital. The hospital says no, we're not going to treat you.
So some missionary group found this girl and they treated her and they fixed up her wounds. But she still has scars on her face. I want to read you his verse in Galatians chapter 6 and verse 17.
I'll just read it.
I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.
This girl was burned because she loved Jesus.
After she was burned, she said. I have decided to spend my life telling other people about Jesus.
We come to the meeting here today, we don't have to worry about somebody coming in with the sword.
00:10:06
Tequila.
We have privileges in this country.
God has been merciful to us.
Let's go to Acts chapter 12.
About that time.
Herod the king stretched forth his hand to vex certain of the church.
Herod hated Christians, and he was going to try to go out and kill as many people as he could that were Christians. But he wanted to make a point, and so he arrested James.
And he killed it says in verse two he killed James, the brother of John with the sword.
In James.
Had to get down.
And they cut off his head.
Why did they do that?
Because he loved Jesus.
James loved Jesus.
Because Herod saw that it pleased the Jews.
They were happy that James was killed. So Herod says, OK, I'm going to arrest Peter.
And when he had arrested Peter, he put him in prison and he delivered him to 16 soldiers.
Put them all outside the prison to watch over the prison so Peter could not escape.
And then inside the prison, they tied chains up like this to Peter.
Two chains, 12 and he had his two soldiers next to him, and they tied him to both soldiers, so Peter couldn't get away.
Peter loved Jesus. He was telling people about Jesus.
But they hated him for it.
And they put him in prison.
Meantime, the assembly.
They were praying. They had an assembly prayer meeting. They were praying for Peter.
Verse five says, Before he was kept, and therefore was Peter kept in prison, but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto him for God and verse 12. And when they had he had considered the thing, he came to the House of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark, where many were gathered together praying.
We don't often pray about protecting us from.
Persecution in our meetings because we don't have to worry about that. But back here they had to worry about that. This girl Namrata that I told you about, that was just two years ago.
It happens today. All around the world there are people being killed.
Because they love Jesus.
Well, verse 6, when Herod would have brought Peter forth.
That same night, Peter was sleeping.
He was tied to two, to two soldiers. He wasn't going to get out of there, but the Angel of the Lord came.
And he he shakes. Peter, Peter, wake up.
What? Wake Up where you're going to get out of here and those chains.
They fell off of Peters.
Peter was free, and the Angel took Peter right outside the gate. Those soldiers kept on sleeping. The 16 soldiers outside were sleeping. God did that.
00:15:13
And Peter walked right outside the door of the prison.
And he was free.
He was free. He didn't believe it at first. He thought he was dreaming, but here he was. And so where did he go? He went to the prayer meeting. He goes and knocks on the door.
And a girl named Rhoda. She runs over to the door.
And she heard Peter's voice, and instead of opening the door to let him in, she goes back. It's Peter. He's here. It's Peter.
And so you're mad. You're crazy. It's not Peter. He's in prison. No, it is. It's Peter.
No, it's his Angel. He's died. He's gone to heaven. It's just his Angel.
So they opened the door, and there's Peter, And Peter tells them about the wonderful salvation the Lord gave to him.
There's persecution in this world today. We can sit here and we can think of it. Oh, that's just something in another country.
But persecution is coming.
We need to remember to pray for one another. We pray for our brethren, our brothers and our sisters in these other countries because they suffer. Let's go to First Peter Chapter 2.
Once there was a secret prayer meeting. They had it secret because they didn't want the other people in the village to know they were having a prayer meeting because they would come in and they would disturb the meeting. Well, there was an older lady there too.
And she was happy to be at the prayer meeting. And before the meeting was over, a gang of men came in and they had knives and clubs. And while all the people from the meeting, they tried to run and get out of the building, but they couldn't get out and they were beaten, they were stabbed and they were clubbed. Many of them died.
One of the men, he picked up his club. He walked over to that Lady and she had gotten down. She didn't try to run out. She had gotten down and she kneeled down and she was praying.
She was praying for those men who were trying to kill her.
This man, he took a club, he raised it over his head.
To smash the lady's head.
But then he heard her and she was praying for him.
And that touched his heart. He dropped the club.
And he got saved that night.
He stopped and listened, and he got saved.
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
And you will be saved. This man was fighting against God.
Maybe you're sitting here tonight. You're not fighting against God. You don't have a club in your hand to kill people.
But you have heard the gospel last night. You've heard the Sunday School many times. Jesus is saying, Come, I love you. Come to me. I will give you freedom from your sin. I will take them away first. Peter, chapter 2.
Here's a story about another man who suffered.
Verse 21 Even here unto were ye called, because Christ also suffered for us.
Oh, this is Jesus Christ. Jesus suffered on the cross. He took that suffering.
The suffering that I deserve, that you deserve. You are a Sinner, you say I'm not doing anything bad.
But when you disobey your mom?
That's sin. Jesus had to die because you were disobedient.
Mom says take your boots off, they're full of mud and you run across because you want to get something quick and run back outside. Let's see.
00:20:07
Jesus had to die because of that.
Jesus says here in this verse that he left us an example that we should follow in his steps.
He's talking about persecution and he wants you to know that when you get saved, you're not guaranteed to have an easy life.
Because people hate Jesus, and if you love Jesus, people are going to hate you.
And so we are need, we need to follow in humility, to be humble like that Lady. She didn't try to run and be brave. She was humble and she prayed to the Lord. The Lord preserved that Lady and the man was saved.
Let's go to John, Chapter 5.
There was another man.
From Nigeria.
His name was Pale.
Peiul was a Muslim.
He hated Christians.
He went to the store to buy a video about Mohammed.
Muhammad is the leader of the Muslims.
And it was a video, a story of how Islam was established in Arabia. But the the film, it was not available at the store. But the storekeeper says, well, I do have this other film, it's about Jesus.
And so, Paul, he bought that film about Jesus.
Then he went to another store and he found the other film that he was looking for about Mohammed. Then he called his friends to come to his house because we're going to watch these together until they came. And first they watched the film about Jesus, and they were impressed about how much love Jesus had for people.
He saved people. He healed people. He loved people. He took little children into his arms, and he held them.
And he blessed them.
But then they saw.
How Jesus was taken by these wicked men and crucified on the cross, this very person who loved them, They hated him, and they took him and put him on the cross. And all those men, as they were watching this, this film, they began to cry.
They were touched by the love of Jesus.
Jesus died, but then the film went on to show that Jesus rose from the dead.
And all the men, they were happy. Yeah. Jesus rose from the dead. Hallelujah.
Mohammed Paul was saved after that.
He put his trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, he says. I know that Jesus Christ is Lord.
And savior? Well then, after they watched that film about Jesus, they put in the film about Muhammad.
And it was the story.
It started out with a picture of a man on a horse.
With a sword in his hand, and they were going through Arabia and killing.
And violence.
For anyone who did not believe.
In Allah, any Christians were killed. They wanted to kill the Christians, to kill the Jews, and to crush their children.
OK all. He confessed that Jesus was Lord and Savior. They could see the difference between the love of Jesus and the hatred of Islam.
Jesus loves you. We have a story of love. We have a story of compassion.
We have a story of Jesus who went to the cross.
For you.
After Paul.
Got saved.
He went home.
His wife was missing.
His son was missing.
That was 12 years ago. He hasn't seen them since.
00:25:05
He suffers because he loves Jesus.
I bare in my body the mark of the Lord Jesus.
John 5/24.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that hears my word, and believes on him that sends me, has everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation, but is passed from death unto life.
Do you want to be saved?
Do you want to know Jesus Christ as your savior? This verse says believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved. What do you need to believe? Do you believe that Jesus was a man? He lived here on earth? That's part of it. Do you believe that you are a Sinner, That you disobey your mom and dad, That you do things that dishonor Jesus?
You're selfish. You don't want to share your things with others. You want to.
Play with that toy yourself. You don't want your friend to have it just now.
We are all selfish.
Believe that Jesus came into this world to die on the cross, to take your selfishness on him, to be punished for him, for you, for that sin, and he died instead of you. He was punished instead of you. And believe that Jesus died on the cross and rose again.
And this verse says he that believes has everlasting life.
Our time is up. Why don't we sing one more hymn before we finish?
Somebody have a song you'd like to sing?
31, OK 31.
He will sing first and last.
I will sing of my.
Dream.
I'm like bro crawling in my life together.
Oh.
My God.
And it's my camera and I'm thinking of your breathing.
Nsnoise.
On the frog?
Heated on the marketplace.
And it made me flashback.
To me, crazy.
Before we pray, I just want I assume that these messages of love are for the kids to come up and take. There's a stack of messages of love here. You can come up and take one after we pray.
00:30:04
Let's pray our God and Father. We just give thanks for the.
Blessed Redeemer, as we have the Lord Jesus Christ.
