00:30:05
Let me tell you a little something about this coin.
You got a good bag, don't you? Yeah, you got a good bag. I want to tell you something about this coin.
This coin.
It was sold at an auction.
And there's three people in this room who have just become very wealthy.
There's three people in this room who have become very wealthy. This coin was sold at an auction.
In 2021 for $18,872,250.
$18 million this coin was sold for.
Wow, boys, what are you going to do with all that money?
You hit the jackpot.
And you know what I said. What I said wasn't wrong.
You know, if you took this coin to the store, they probably would wonder what you were up to because they wouldn't have any idea what it was for Oregon, how much it was worth.
You have no idea.
You know what I said about it being all scratched up? And yeah, it's kind of scratched up. It's a little bit scratched up. It's an old coin.
But you know what, kids?
Its value.
Is infinitely worth more.
Then that can be. It looks so tempting on the table.
You know, kids.
It's an illustration of something.
That's far more valuable.
Than a coin. It's far more valuable than an $18 million coin.
This is just a very small illustration.
Of the value.
Of your soul.
Your soul is of infinite value, Infinite value. And there's a verse in the Bible.
We all know it. What will it profit a man or a boy or a girl? What will it profit a boy or a girl?
If he gains the whole world and he loses his soul.
It's also an illustration.
Of something very, very sinister.
The thief.
The thief has come.
To steal, kill and to destroy.
There's a thief.
Not only is he a thief, but he's a liar.
He's a liar.
Satan is a thief and a liar, the Bible says.
That Satan.
He is a liar and the father of it. He's the he is the originator of lies.
You know, I told you some things that were not that, well, they weren't exactly 100% true. They were deceptions.
There were deceptions to make you fall for something that was that was far less in value.
Then this coin.
Far less value than this coin. You know what Satan is doing today.
Do you know what Satan is doing today?
He's going around.
Telling lies.
Telling boys and girls that your soul.
Is not all that valuable? Don't worry about your soul, he says. Don't worry about your soul. You live for all the all the fame, fortune and fun you can possibly get your hands on.
You live it up. That's what he says. That's what he Live it up. Just enjoy every moment, Suck every moment that you can get out of it.
00:35:09
Because this is all you have. This is all you have.
God has a different.
Message for you today.
God has a different message for you today.
The Bible says that God made man out of the dust of the ground.
And he breathed into man the breath of life. God breathed into you the breath of life, and you became a living soul.
A living soul. A soul that will live forever.
A soul that will live forever.
And you know, kids, we've fallen from God. Sin has come into our lot, into this world. We've fallen from God by nature. We're fallen beings.
And God in his great mercy.
Sent his Son the Lord Jesus.
Because your soul is valuable.
Your soul is valuable.
Far more valuable than this coin.
What will it profit a man?
If he gains everything, this whole world ever, If you could, if you could sum up all the wealth in this world, it would fall in comparison to the value of your soul.
It falls totally short.
The value of your soul.
There's another verse in the Bible.
In Psalms 49.
Psalms, Chapter 49.
It says in Psalms chapter 49 verse 7.
They that trust, I'm sorry, Verse six, they that trust in their wealth and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches. None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him, For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceases forever. What does that mean? What does it mean?
The redemption of their soul is precious and it ceases forever. What do you think that means?
What does redemption mean?
Does anybody know what redemption means?
You want redemption means.
Yeah, to redeem. Yeah. To buy it back.
You know, we're stuck in sin and our sins have separated us from God and we have to be brought back to God. But there's a price, There's a price that that it costs to be brought back to God, it says.
It says the redemption of their soul is precious and it ceases, for it's costly.
To buy back your soul from sin and Satan.
It cost an infinite price.
A price that no one can put, no one can understand. The massive cost to bring you back to God. No one understands it because you and I are brought back to God. We're redeemed. We're brought back to God. By what means? How are we brought back to God? What does it say in First Peter? It says we're brought back to God with the precious blood.
Of the Lord Jesus.
You see?
When you and I were separated from God.
God sent his Son the Lord Jesus. God sent the Lord Jesus into this world.
Because your soul is valuable.
Your soul is fat and he loves you. Each one of you kids, God loves you.
And he said, I do not want that soul to go into a lost eternity forever. I am going to pay the infinite price. I'm going to pay the infinite price so that I can have each one of you kids if you'll put if you, if you will put your trust in the Lord Jesus.
00:40:19
If you will put your trust in the Lord Jesus today.
You can know your sins are forever forgiven.
And yours you will go and live with the Lord Jesus in his house in heaven forever.
But of course, if we decide to pass up.
On God's great salvation. And it's like if we decide we're just going to chase all the fun, fame and fortune we can have in this world, that's that's good enough. If that's all we're going to live for, God says you're going to have to pay. You're going to have to pay an awful, awful price.
Awful price for all eternity in hell.
Kids, you know.
It's my deep hope.
It's my great hope.
It is my great hope that each one of you kids.
Will come to know the Lord Jesus as your savior.
It's, you know, every single one of your parents here, Every single one of your parents. If your parents brought you here, they have a concern for your soul.
They want your soul.
To be in heaven with the Lord Jesus.
They want you to be in heaven with the Lord Jesus.
That's what each one of us want.
And so.
I plead with you today.
If there's anyone?
Who doesn't know who Jesus is their savior today?
Today is the day of salvation. Today is the day to recognize that that you're a Sinner, that you're a Sinner, that that you violated a holy God.
And that the only way that you can be brought back to God.
Is through the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus made on the cross.
Satan. Satan will be. He will be the trickiest, cleverest guy you can ever imagine. We are no.
We are completely weak against the lies of Satan, completely weak against the lies of Satan.
And he loves to trip up people.
Just like I tricked you guys. Most of you guys. Oh, don't worry. I'll have something for you too, Actually, maybe some of your friends here. We'll give you guys a bag. We'll give you guys a bag, and maybe you can see if there's some handouts.
Yeah, yeah, that's right.
Like kids, you know?
I love each one of you kids and I know that all the parents in this room, all the adults in this room, they love each one of you kids.
And like I said.
It is my greatest desire. Our greatest desire for each one of you precious kids is that you will know the Lord Jesus is your savior, not only know him as your savior.
But that you'll know him as your father, the one who provides for you, and that you'll live for him because it's so worth it.
It's so worth it to know and to walk with the Lord Jesus. It's the greatest life.
It's the greatest life you can imagine.
