For our visitors, you might be wondering why we're playing this video The reason we're playing the video is because this morning we are sending Two families one of our pastors and then the Russi's who you met we're going to be sending them to Guatemala to plant our first church from this church So if you would please as normally turn to Luke chapter 24 verse 44 as we have our call to worship and What we do During our call to worship is we look at text in the Bible and what in this text is Caused for us to praise worship give glory to our to our Triune God so Luke chapter 24 and I will begin reading at verse 44 Luke 2444 It's Jesus speaking to his disciples then he said to them These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you That everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures and said to them thus it is written That the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead and That repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations beginning from Jerusalem and You are witnesses of these things and Behold I am sending the promise of my father upon you But stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high Then he led them out as far as Bethany and Lifted up his hands and blessed them while he blessed them He parted from them and was carried up into heaven and they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy And were continually in the temple blessing God What is the cause for worship in this text look with me at verse 46 There's much Right. There's there's something in there's a lot of things in 44 There's some in 45, but we will look at verse 46 And he said to them thus it is written that the Christ should suffer and On the third day rise from the dead that is why we're here this morning Right that that is why we're here if we weren't sending Pastor Marcos to Guatemala. We'd still be here because Christ Suffered under the wrath of God for the people of God So that his wrath against their sins might be satisfied And so that they might be washed clean and pure and set aside for the purposes of God and He rose He rose from the dead in power And now his people are empowered by the same spirit that raised him from the dead To worship and to serve God with all of their heart and with all of their might and because of that because we are a new people and we Understand the need of sinful men To hear the gospel preach to hear the good news We take the Great Commission seriously and in God's goodness and his kindness to us He's given us pastor Marcos and his wife and his son and the Russi's who have a heart for the people of Guatemala and In his goodness and in his grace and in his kindness he has Allowed us to be privileged with the opportunity of sending this family To plant a church in Guatemala city. It's Guatemala City and There they will do what verse 47 calls him to do They will a preach repentance and the forgiveness of sins to that nation This is great cause for rejoicing When one sinner is saved heaven erupts with joy and praise and glory to God The Lord Jesus loves sinners God was the first evangelist in the Bible when man sinned and fell into his wickedness and depravity God comes for man and he seeks him and finds him and speaks his word to him and speaks a word of promise to him and Jesus Christ himself Comes to do the will of his father and what is his father's will that he would of course Preach the good news of the kingdom Preach the gospel and in his person and in his work He is the substance of what he preached and that is what we are bringing to Guatemala Guatemala City We are bringing the gospel of grace and that is great cause for praise and rejoicing. I have ten more points but Pastor marcos is preaching this morning So so let's pray and continue to worship God together with that in mind that that this text in By God's goodness and by his grace to us We we as a church we do this here We do this work here All right, and we've by the grace of God there are men and women in this church who do this faithfully Preach the gospel present Christ lift him up to others and in God's goodness now. He is allowing us To extend that gospel and our ministry to another country That is great cause for praise for praising and glorifying God.

So subjective is one then Objective is another is do you actually have the ability to Be in the ministry has god given you those giftings and and by god's grace. I believe he has So subjective objective collective Collective is does the church affirm that you have the gift to be able to teach? And by god's grace quorum some baptist church has affirmed that that gifting So subjective objective collective and effective effective would be It has a lord produced fruit has a lord given fruit for that ministry So How's that worked out for me? That has worked out for me in that Years ago I began to teach the bible in bible studies and then I began to study Prepare for the ministry in my local church cornerstone Baptist church and Through those things and more opportunities to serve has just grown and grown and grown So that the church now is sending us to be able to go and start another church in Guatemala Well, it started with actually having burden to be able to preach the gospel to her family and That started in 2007 and then since that time we've had the opportunities to be able to go down and Minister there. There have been a number of opportunities of The lord opening the door for the gospel and the community We've had opportunities to disciple people And the more time we spend there the more burden we've had for the people and the more we see the need for Church with sound doctrine there We don't know of another reform Baptist congregation in guatemala So it's a major metropolitan city four million people And for that many people there not to be a reform Baptist congregation is shows there's a great need for the For the biblical doctrine Yeah, and I I think what compels or giving a greater burden Is when I was doing some discipleship with some of the ladies there And how they didn't really have a an idea of what a sound biblical church looked like how it How is it that you would evangelize? How is it that you would practice church discipline? How is it? It was just like they had no clue so that that really just Makes my heart heavy for them that they don't I wouldn't have any place to send them to Um, I wish I would have been able to but um, hopefully we would they I will in your future Through the help we've set up the website for that purpose So the website is missions GUA.org And set up for three primary ways to help one would be That you would be able to pray for us We want to be able to continue to update prayer requests there The word of the Lord will run that people will be converted and saved That would be faithful to the Lord's word Second if you'd like to be able to help then you have the opportunity to give financially on the website And we may try to make that as convenient as possible for you And third if you'd like to be able to consider going long term to be part of the church or to Be trained in missions Then we would be glad to be able to disciple and train people for that very purpose so I would I would remind you that if you In partnering with us, we're not Making a mcdonald's and we're bringing a business or a restaurant or something to go tomorrow This is about the glory of jesus christ This is about his gospel being spread And people coming to repentance and faith going to heaven to worship him This is about the glory and honor of jesus christ So please join us in this work and you'll be Glad that you did that in the That gives you good introduction to what we're talking about today And the joy that we have to be able to uh to get this church plan started in guatemal city and The russis and the mudges have purchased their one-way plane tickets and are heading out this week What we want to do. I want to do a couple of things. I want to Exort you I want to call to your remembrance the work that the lord is doing and will do there in guatemal city By his grace through the mudges through the russis there and I want to give you opportunity to praise the lord for this Tremendous blessing that we have With that as you are as we work through text of scripture together this morning We have cards available and I like you to be able to fill those cards out If you'd like to write a word of encouragement We want to be able to collect a bunch of cards from you today tonight For the mudges the russis to be able to look at not any earlier than when they get on the plane To give them something to do on the plane But we want to encourage them and so if the folks will pass out some of those cards as we talk that'll be helpful and um Write some encouraging notes to them. That'll bless them as they Make their way to guatemal city. All right, turn with me in your bibles to matthew chapter 16 matthew chapter 16 This is a tremendous blessing that we have The lord is so gracious so good and we've seen the lord faithful to his promises of faithful to Press the gospel into the world and we've seen the gospel bearing fruit And uh, we are very very grateful to play a part in that but that promise is based In the lord's faithfulness that promise made by the lord jesus christ himself And we get one indication of that in matthew chapter 16 and look down with me at verse 13 And we want to praise and thank the lord rejoice in the lord for what he's doing and matthew chapter 16 In verse 13 Matthew writes when jesus came into the region of cesarei filipi He asked his disciples saying who do men say that i the son of man am And so they said some say john the baptist Some elijah and others jeremiah are one of the prophets He said to them verse 15 But who do you say that i am and simon peter answered and said You are the christ the son of the living god And jesus answered and said to him blessed are you simon bar jonah For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my father who is in heaven And i also say to you that you are peter and on this rock I will build my church and the gates of hades shall not prevail against it Well today We have the blessing the blessed privilege of rejoicing in the lord for his un wavering faithfulness to this promise He has said i will build my church. He is worthy of all praise honor and glory amen And we want to acknowledge him in his tremendous blessing that he's given us to be a part of what he is doing In the world to build his church now notice first what he says in verse 18. He says i I will build my church the i there refers to the lord jesus christ with peter in verse 16 We confess also with him that he is the christ the son of the living god One has said that Jesus christ came from the bosom of the father to the bosom of a woman He put on humanity that we might put on divinity He became son of man that we might become sons of god He was born contrary to the laws of nature lived in poverty was reared in obscurity And only once crossed the boundary of the land in which he was born and that in his childhood He had no wealth or influence had neither training nor education in the world schools His relatives were inconspicuous and uninfluenced influential in infancy He startled a king in boyhood. He puzzled the learned doctors in manhood. He ruled the course of nature He walked upon the billows and hushed the sea to sleep He healed the multitudes without medicine and made no charge for his services He never wrote a book and yet all the libraries of the world could not hold the books about him He never wrote a song yet. He has furnished the theme for more songs than all songwriters together He never founded a college Yet all the schools together cannot boast of as many students as he has He never practiced medicine and yet he has healed more broken hearts than all the doctors have healed broken bodies This jesus christ is the star of astronomy the rock of geology the lion the lamb of zoology the harmonizer of all discords The healer of all diseases Throughout history great men have come and gone yet. He lives on Herod could not kill him satan could not seduce him death could not destroy him and the grave could not hold him In revelation chapter five He is the only one worthy to open the scroll to open its seals for He was slain and he has redeemed us to god by his blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation Worthy is the lamb Worthy is the lamb who was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory And blessing that's who the eye is He is the one that we worship. He is the one that we trust in whom we trust and notice next in verse 18 That he says he promises to build it. He says I will build My church and praise god. He is faithful to his promise these things Says he who is holy he who is true He who has the key of david He who opens and no one shuts and he shuts and no one opens The amen the faithful and true witness the beginning of the creation of god He who calls you is faithful who also will do it He's not building here in matthew chapter 16 with brick and mortar. He's not building A school not building a hospital not building a paratroop ministry not simply building a ministry He's building a church. Peter says that his elect come to him as living stones Rejected indeed by men but chosen by god and precious You also as living stones are being built up a spiritual house A holy priesthood to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to god through jesus christ He's building his church amen We see that now this opportunity this blessed privilege this blessing from god to have a part in him Building his church in guatemala city. We are grateful to god for that blessed opportunity that blessed privilege Thirdly in verse 18 The church belongs to him He says i will build my church In acts chapter 20 verse 28 It is the church which he has purchased with his own blood In first chrithians chapter 6 verse 20 Those in the church are not their own. They were bought with a price In Ephesians chapter 5 verse 25 Christ loves the church and he gave himself For her god has put all things under his feet and gave him to be the head Over all things to the church. He's not building a homeless shelter He's not building a hospital. He's building his body. He's building his hands his feet redeemed sinners Blood bought out of bondage conveying them and us into the kingdom of the son of his love And he is the head of his body the church Who is the beginning the first born from the dead that in all things he may have the preeminence The one who's been given All authority has said i will build my church and the gates of hades shall not prevail against it amen For mark and ashley Lee and gabby You know for those of us who hold the rope here at cornerstone This is a promise that the lord is fulfilling now amen This is a promise that the lord is fulfilling and this is a promise that we can stand on He says i will build my church and the gates of hades will not prevail against it and we want to pray first And thank the lord for his faithfulness to his word his faithfulness to his promise The fact that his promise that promise his evident faithfulness being worked out among us as we prepare now to send Mark and ashley lee and gabby their families to guatemala city And so i'd like to ask my brother ben ben Would you mind just praying and thanking the lord for his faithfulness? thanking the lord for his Is covenant with us his promise to press the gospel into the world specifically now guatemala. Thanks brother. Let's pray okay, let's pray Holy father, we Exalt you today we glorify you today Your people See you as enthroned We see you as our our king and the creator of all things By whom and through whom all things were made And lord we we depend upon you right now in In this sending we know that this is according to your will and we we greatly desire your blessing First and foremost lord, we we we pray that you would Bring glory to yourself and doing this That you would That you would be exalted in the sight of not just your church But all peoples one day that they would see that the building of your church was your doing and and it will be marvelous in their eyes how In spite of so many obstacles in spite of so many impossibilities The church has overcome Uh Not just the last 2,000 years, but but really uh from the very beginning uh from the from the garden And how you have prevailed and and how We can look back 2,000 years and see the victory that that christ Accomplished on the cross And then how we can see how he sent his apostles out And how they started a a thing that was new to the jews um And yet beloved by those who were saved So lord we we pray that uh you would continue to Dispense your your mercy and your grace through the preaching of the gospel through the building of your church that you would Do as you have told us in the book of romans in chapters 9 10 11 that you would Call forth your elect your chosen people Those who you have set your mercy on from eternity past Those who you've predestined the as we often say here that the the pond is stocked There's no question that people will be saved. There's no question that not everyone will uh reject the gospel But rather than those who to whom the gospel is preached to whom god has Set aside for mercy will respond and so we're not As pastor rick was teaching this morning it it may be seven years before we see a convert although we know we've got converts there now but We would not be laboring in vain even if we had to persevere that long And many of us here in orlando know that we've had to persevere quite a long time through many dry spells and not seeing People being genuinely and soundly saved and yet we do not lose hope and and um We continue uh because of your promise and so we reflect on on the facts of The promises of the word of god and and setting people aside to be saved we we look to the fulfillment of the abrahamic promise that uh That you would give abraham just many seed that would not even be more than the stars that more than could be counted um And so we know that those things are are certain and sure and it's only a matter of being a part of that and actively Seeking to work that out practically here on earth prayerfully and and With planning and and with and with um and with diligence and and and like today with with just action And so lord we we pray that when you build your church in guatemala that You would use our our brothers and sisters mightily out there that you would By the gospel regenerate many souls justify many people through jesus christ through the preaching of the gospel You would radically change the the nature of people that you would They would not require a a 12 step program, but rather just an overnight conversion And that they would see All things new even from the very next day Um as as they begin to realize a new life in In following christ and lord we Pray that for those people that that you will save that you will sanctify them that you will deliver them from the power and the presence of sin and And uh and of course the penalty of sin and that You would form out there another part of your overall universal church of living stones Being put together by the lord himself to one day be just a Testament of your great power and and your great mercy on sinful and wicked people such as ourselves And so we're we're grateful that we we have christ and he has changed us He's delivered us from so such a great penalty Such a great debt, but also the delivered us from the love of sin The love for those passions Um and has transcended us into a place of the love of christ love of the gospel And the love to see sinners saved So we pray that you would do all these things that you said you would do lord and and that you would allow us to have a part in that In guadama in christian. I pray amen And next now What encourage you from scripture with an example of just how the lord does that right turn with me to ax chapter 11 ax chapter 11 We're part of a legacy that began with the lord's promise to build his church He does that clearly in scripture. He's done that throughout out history and now it's our turn to Bear that same torch for him as we print iglesia biblica and torcha They feel like an italian when I say the name Um But we look forward to that as we carry that torch In our generation as in our piece of history But I want to encourage you with this from scripture this legacy. Look at ax chapter 11 and drop down to verse 19 19 You have the church at Jerusalem And after pentecost when the holy spirit was given and the church was founded 3000 were added and then more were added look at verse 19 Now those who were scattered after the persecution that arose over steven traveled as far as finicia cyprus and anioch Preaching the word to no one but to jews only immediately after the church was founded there came persecution Often is the case in verse 20 But some of them were men from cyprus and syrene who when they had come to anioch spoke to the helliness preaching the lord Jesus and the hand of the lord was with them and a great number believed and turned to the lord and there the church at anioch was planted verse 22 The news of these things came to the ears of the church in jerusalem And they sent out barnabas to go as far as anioch when he came he'd seen the grace of god He was glad and encouraged them all that with purpose of heart They should continue with the lord for he was a good man full of the holy spirit and the faith And a great many people were added to the lord Then barnabas departed for tarsus to seek sol when he found him he brought him to anioch And so it was that for a year a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people And the disciples were first called christians in anioch. So you have the church in jerusalem Gets planted the church immediately begins to share the gospel immediately preaching christ persecution had scattered them And through that means god planted the church in anioch turn the page with me and look at ax chapter 13 Axe chapter 13 Lord promises to build his church and we see him doing that here Throughout the book of ax but specifically with one example beginning in ax 11 We see the church in anioch planted in ax chapter 13. Look at verse one Now in that church that was at anioch There were certain prophets and teachers barnabas Simeon who is called niger lucius of sireen monein who had been brought up with hair the tetrarch and sol And as they ministered to the lord and fasted the holy spirit said Now separate to me barnabas and sol for the work to which i have called them Then having fasted and prayed they laid hands on them and they sent them away Their purpose here was to send them on paul's first missionary journey to plant churches They were planting churches flip the page and look at ax ax chapter 16 Let's look at it the example of one of those churches That was planted ax chapter 16 And again, this is the lord jesus christ faithful to his promise to build his church We see it taking place here in the book of ax throughout history and then now Through us ax chapter 16 drop down to verse 11 Therefore verse 11 Sailing from troas. We ran straight a straight course to saman thrace and the next day came to neapolis and from there to philipi philipi, which is the foremost city of that part of macedonia a colony And we were staying in that city for some days And on the Sabbath we went out of the city to the riverside where prayer was customarily made We sat down at a prayer meeting as if you will with a group of women who met there in philipi Verse 14 now a certain woman named lydia heard us She was a seller of purple from the city of thiothira who worshiped god The lord opened her heart to heed the things spoken by paul And when she and her household were baptized she begged us saying if you have judged me to be faithful to the lord Come to my house and stay And so she persuaded us And thus the church in anioc Then begins to plant through barnumis and paul the church at philipi and notice how the lord works, right? You send a man down there to preach the gospel A gospel is preached and through the gospel being preached the lord opens the hearts of those hears And here in the case of lydia lydia becomes the the first convert if you will at the church plant of philipi But how did this church develop and grow look at verse 16 Now as it happened verse 16 As we went to prayer that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us Who brought her master's much profit by fortune telling says fortune telling slave girl becomes the next member of the church at philipi This girl followed paul and us cried out saying these men are the servants of the most high god Who proclaimed to us the way of salvation and this she did for many days Paul greatly annoyed turned and said to the spirit. I command you in the name of jesus christ to come out of her They came out that very hour When her master saw that their hope of profit was gone They seized paul and sylas dragged him into the marketplace to the authorities more persecution, right? They brought them to the magistrate and said these men being jews Exceedingly trouble our city they teach customs which are not lawful for us being romans to receive or to observe Multitudes rose up together against them. So we see persecution again breaking out you have now lydia in philipi now you have a little slave girl former fortune teller who now has been genuinely saved and now as part of the church at philipi But the lord's not done and of course wasn't done look at verse 25 They put paul and sylas in jail And at midnight paul and sylas were praying and singing hymns to god in verse 25 and the prisoners were listening to them Suddenly there was a great earthquake so that the foundations of the prison were shaken And immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were loosed and the keeper of the prison Awaking from sleep seeing the prison doors open supposing the prisoners had fled drew his sword and was about to kill himself But paul called with a loud voice saying do yourself no harm for we are all here And he called for a light ran in fell down trembling before paul and sylas And he brought them out and said sirs, what must i do to be saved? It's an awesome question, right? Right So they said verse 31 believe in the lord jesus christ and you will be saved you and your household Then they spoke the word of the lord to him all who were in his house And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes And immediately he and all his family were baptized and when he had brought them into his house He set food before them and he rejoiced having believed in god with all his household Lydia and her household slave girl came to church at filipai and now the philippine jailer and his household So what became of this little church this church plant at filipai look with me at second carinthians second carinthians And look at chapter eight This is what the lord does right the lord builds his church And he is faithful to that our responsibility as a people our responsibility is the body of christ Is to put our faith and trust in him and press forward into the work And what if paul and barnabas had never gone right what if paul and sylas had never made it to filipai? No, but the lord said i will build my church their faithfulness to go Was the means by which god planted that church and then in second carinthians chapter eight look at verse one What became of this church plant in filipai moreover brethren verse one We make known to you the grace of god bestowed on the churches of macedonia not macedonia The churches that are being referred to there is the church of the thessalonians and thessalonica The church at berea that we know about from ax chapter 17 and then the church at filipai the church plant at filipai look at verse two What characterized that church? That in a great trial of affliction The abundance of their joy and their deep poverty Abounded in the riches of their liberality for i bear witness that according to their ability Yes, and beyond their ability. They were freely willing Imporing us with much urgency that we would receive the gift and the fellowship of the ministering to the saints And not only as we had hoped but they first gave of themselves to the lord and then to us by the will of god So we urged titus that as he begun so we would also complete this grace in you as well But as you abound in everything in faith and speech and knowledge and all in all diligence and in your love for us See that you abound in this grace also that little Church in filipai being under a severe trial of poverty being under severe affliction became examples Here specifically to the church at corinth in their giving in their ministering to the saints. It's a beautiful picture, isn't it? That through here beginning the beginning of the church age the lord jesus christ promises to build his church We see that played out in the book of acts here specifically with the church at anioc and the church at anioc faithful to obey the lord separating to them Barnabas and paul to go on the missionary journey Part of that journey was to plant the church at filipai we see the lord grow that church at filipai It's through god's work that he does it and then we see the fruit Of that work in second corinthians chapter 8 just one example among many countless examples Of the lord being faithful to build his church and faithful to produce fruit that glorifies him Through that work now we get to be a part of that right the journey that we begin today Is a part of that legacy of god's faithfulness of God's redemptive purposes on the planet We get to be a part of carrying bearing that same torch the torch that brothers and sisters 2000 years ago began to carry and now churches throughout history have done We now in our generation get to do that That's something to rejoice about amen Don't we have cause for celebrating what the lord has done with this church plant amen So we can't look at that short brothers and sisters That's a glorious glorious blessing and we want to pray now And thank the lord that we've been given this blessing that we've been given this opportunity And I would like to ask dale brother. Where are you? Thank you brother Dale would you mind praying just thanking the lord that we get to take part in that heritage of the lord Of him building his church and specifically with reference to guatemala city. Thank you brother Father in heaven, we are so grateful for how you have worked among us These many years just here in this church we have seen how you have guided us and protected us and blessed us and We are just amazed when we think about even our own Salvation how you've Peeled away the scales from our eyes and Caused us to see ourselves the way that you see us and then At the same time given us The gift of repentance and faith and called us into your kingdom and Praise for you for this kindness is Just endless we worship you and thank you and lord we are So grateful to for The privilege of being the stewards of your gospel Here in this community and Throughout the city even the state and now To other countries Lord over the Years and many visits that The people in this church have made to Guatemala already dozens even hundreds Have heard the gospel preached and Lord we know that Your word does not return void and We think of people that that we've already spoken to Oscar a young man in parque central in Guatemala city and El uhelio a guard that we spoke to at a neighborhood in Guatemala city and Angel and Carlos A shopkeeper and his employee Maria a lady who Wanted to kill her father for the abuse that he had inflicted on her Manuel a drunkard crying as if to be aware of the chains that he was bound by Rolando a cab driver and Carlos a vendor The names just go on and on lord and In that city of millions There are so many who Have not yet heard they've been exposed to All kinds of false messages that are preached by wicked men Who are building fortunes for themselves and Rather than glorifying you And So there's a a war there lord for the souls of people and We just counted a privilege that You've enlisted us to send Mark and ashley and lee and gabby Lord help us to be faithful to remember Them daily and prayer To to give faithfully to their work And to just be thankful for The privilege of of being part of this work Lord, we don't know how the history will be written in guatemala in decades and centuries from now, but What we pray for lord is That you would be glorified that Your truth your gospel would be proclaimed far and wide and all of guatemala and that Other true churches would be planted as a result of This work that that we're embarking on today So we just thank you for How how you're at work among us and for the privilege of of planting this church and it's Just an amazing kindness that you've shown us and So we thank you and praise you in jesus name. Amen. Amen. Thank you brother The next one I want to do is part of that Legacy is part of that heritage. We have responsibility. We have responsibility So I want to exhort you from the from scripture Look at second Thessalonians chapter three second Thessalonians chapter three So first to cornerstone orlando and then to cornerstone guatemala second Thessalonians chapter three For those of us who will remain here. Look at verse one Finally brethren Pray for us that the word of the lord may run swiftly and be glorified Just as it is with you. That's interesting there We need to pray just as dale was praying We need to continue to pray for the russis for the mudges. We need to pray for People in guatemala. We need to pray that the gospel Runs swiftly and will be glorified and then he adds that phrase just as it is with you We need to maintain faithfulness to spread the gospel here Maintain faithfulness to preach the word of god here. We have unreached people in our own backyard. Amen You have unreached neighbors. We have unreached co-workers. We have to be faithful to the gospel here And that's one of the reasons with a clear conscience before god that as we're faithful here We can then send mark and ashley lee and gabby their families to guatemala city. It wasn't that Paul and barnabas were sent from anioc and then all of a sudden anioc ceased their work of evangelism, you know Paul and barnabas are going to take care of that We'll just deal with our house business here No those faithful brothers faithful sisters kept preaching the gospel and we need to do the same and honor the lord in that verse two Also pray for them. They may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men for not all have faith Verse three, but the lord is faithful who will establish you and guard you from the evil one We have confidence in the lord concerning you both that you do and will do the things that we command you We need to pray. We need to as our brother prayed. We need to continue giving Give we need to give ties to this church offerings above and beyond the tithe to the work in guatemala Praise the lord. He has provided for them financially. We're very grateful for that. There's more to be done Keep giving and a year from now Keep giving keeping faithful to your word to support them in that. This is not going to be a sprint This is a marathon. So keep giving Encourage the families in the work Encourage them text them regularly. I don't know how text works to guatemala, but keep doing it until we figure out If it doesn't work, we'll do something else send up smoke signals carrier pigeons But we need to encourage them in the work. It can be very lonely very difficult work And it's going to be difficult and it's going to be daily evangelism hard Difficulty there's already been difficulty by the lord's grace He's allowed that to happen so that we don't depend upon ourselves or our own strength But we learned to depend upon him and we've already seen a tremendous amount of difficulty Even getting the church started down there So please continue to encourage those families and then you can plan at some point in the future to go down and visit And encourage them by your presence and working and laboring down there with them So we'll talk about that more as the the months pass and we're able to do that after they get settled All right to cornerstone guatemala turn to second timothy chapter four and i want to exhort pastor mark lee and their families From second timothy chapter four With a work that has to be done And paul says to timothy And paul says to you to us He says in verse one I charge you therefore before god and the lord jesus christ who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing in his kingdom Preach the word Be ready in season and out of season Convince rebuke Exort with all long suffering and teaching For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine But according to their own desires because they have itching ears.  It's a high calling right and Praise the lord for mark lee their families That he has raised up What we see as faithful men to do just that and so we rejoice in the lord for that grace But we want to pray and ask the lord's help now in our keeping our charge and that also that Mark lee their families would keep their charge as well as pastor rick Down here Okay, i'm sorry if somebody pointing. Okay, he's not Robinson. Would you mind brother praying for praying for Us that we would keep our charge for lee and gabby for Mark and ashley they would keep theirs as well. The lord's help. Thank you brother Father in heaven, we come before you once more to thank you for this opportunity lord to be able to send off The mudges and the russis to guatemala to preach your word We pray lord guide that us as a church that we would ourselves be faithful in the ministry That we would care for the dying care for the lost souls that are here amongst us in our neighborhoods And i pray lord guide that even As we reach out to those who are lost in guatemala that you would Charge the russis and the mudges by your spirit lord that they would preach your word With efficacy that they would be Dilligent lord to reach out all of those lord who are Unsaved and who need to hear about christ All of this lord is for your glory. So help us to be faithful To be faithful at home to be faithful at work As we preach your word Here in olando in florida in the united states and throughout the rest of the world May your name be glorified and exalted through this ministry in christ's name.

The Jack Benny program transcribed and presented by Lucky Strike. The cigarette that's toasted to taste better. If you want better taste from your cigarette, Lucky Strike is the brand to get. It's toasted to give you the best taste. Yeah, it's the toasted cigarette. Friends, this is Don Wilson. If you're not getting all the enjoyment you should be getting from your present cigarette, switch to Lucky Strike and see for yourself how much more real deep down smoking enjoyment you get from Lucky's better taste. A Lucky Taste better because it's the cigarette of fine tobacco and it's toasted to taste better. It's toasted is the famous Lucky Strike process that tones up Lucky's fine, naturally good tasting tobacco to make it taste even better, cleaner, fresher, smoother. Yes, find out for yourself. Buy a carton of better tasting Lucky Strike. The Lucky Strike program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston Rochester, Dennis Day, Bob Crosby and yours truly, Don Wilson. Ladies and gentlemen, one of the jobs that all men postpone as long as possible is cleaning out the accumulation of junk that gathers in the garage. Well, Jack Benny has put it off as long as possible and as we look in on him, he and Rochester are busy with his chore. Well, now we're beginning to get somewhere, Rochester. Give all those cans and bottles to the junk man. Give the magazines and papers to the paper drive. Yes, sir. Now, what do you want to do with this bicycle? You haven't used it in many years. Well, let's keep it. I'll use it again if I can ever get tires for it. Of course, they're so hard to get, you know. I know the small one is easy, but that great big front one is murderous. They haven't had it that long. Well, the garage is beginning to look a little better now. What's that? It's the mailman. See, I feel sorry for mailmen. They have to walk so much. Benny. Hello. Here, sit down and rest a while. Oh, gee, thanks. Oh, my feet are killing me. Often comfortable. I'm not wearing shoes. These are Dr. Scholl's foot pads. Here's your mail, Mr. Benny. Just some circulars and this copy of Esquire. Well, just put them there on that box. Are you going to look to your copy of Esquire? Oh, later. No wonder you get last when you say you're 39. I almost forgot. Here's your package from the American tobacco company. Oh, yes. Yes, my lucky strikes. You get these packages quite often. Yes, it's a courtesy they show me. You see, ever since I've worked for them, they've sent me two free cartons a week. Oh, gee, that's nice. Well, goodbye. Goodbye. Mr. Benny, let's finish cleaning up the garage. Okay, but first take the mail in the house and put the cigarettes in the machine. I'll finish up here. Yes, sir. Gee, we got the garage looking pretty good now. Let's see. I better put these garden tools out of the way. I won't be needing them for a while. Oh, for heaven's sake, look at this rifle. I almost forgot about it. I remember I bought it a couple of years ago to go hunting with the musicians. Then at the last minute, I couldn't go. The boy said I missed a real good time. That was a funny thing they told me about Sammy, the drummer. They said that in spite of the fact that he's a great, big, rough, tough guy, he cried like a baby when they shot a duck. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Did they say they shot a duck or he forgot to duck? I'm going to go next time. It sounds like so much fun shooting Sammy. Oh, hello, Mr. Benny. I came over to tell you... How do you feel, kid? Oh, fine. I came over to tell you that I... How'd you know I was in the garage? Rochester told me. What do you want, Dennis? Well, I came over to tell you that I'm running away from home. Oh, for heaven's sakes, another one of these silly things. Not this time. I'm really running away for good. For good? Yeah, and I'm never coming back home again. No kidding, Dennis. Did you tell your mother? She told me. All right, Dennis, tell me. What's the big argument about this time? Well, it wasn't my fault. We were arguing over what to watch on television. On television? Uh-huh. I wanted to watch a movie, and my mother wanted to watch The Greatest Fights of the Century. Oh. What a ham. Always hoping they'll show the time she stopped Galento. Look, Dennis, this is a very interesting discussion. I'd like to continue it and broaden my mind, but I've got work to do. Oh, what are you doing? I'm cleaning out the garage. What are you going to do with that big pile of junk in the middle? That's my car. Now get out of my way. Oh, but Mr. Benny, yeah. Look, Dennis, if you want to hang around, don't bother me. Let me hear you sing the song you're going to do on the show. Okay. Oh, Dennis, the years roll on. I keep telling you what a wonderful singer you are, and sometimes it seems I can't tell you enough. Most singers' voices remain the same, but yours is like old wine that seems to improve with age. You know, really, your voice seems to be more vibrant, more mellow, more...  I've got to find a place to sleep tonight. Hey, wait a minute, Dennis. Yeah? I have an empty guest room. You can stay till things quiet down at home. Gee, Mr. Benny, that's the nicest thing that anyone ever did for me, and I hope you don't think I'm ungrateful, but I couldn't move in here. I... Well, I don't like the people in the neighborhood. You mean the Coleman's? No, you. Rochester will put the magazines on top of the newspaper there. Are you going to ignore him, boss? Yes. If you do, sometimes he goes away. I want to clean all the top shelves off, and... Well, say, Mr. Benny, while you and Rochester are working, do you mind if I fool around with this hunting rifle? No, go right ahead. It's loaded. Rochester, after we clean the shelves, I want to be... Hello, Mr. Doorbell, and when nobody answers, I came back here to the garage. Well, I'm glad you did. Say, Mr. Kissle, I just noticed. Isn't your jaw a little swollen? Yeah, my nephew just opened up a dentist's surface, and I went to him this morning.  Five of them. You had five bad teeth? Only one bad. Then how come you let him pull the other four? He's a beginner. He needs the experience. But he's going to be a very good dentist, believe me. You know, he's still studying hard. He wants to specialize in stopping pain. He's studying the nerves of the teeth. Really? Yeah. You should see how delicately that gentleman wakes. He removes the nerves from the teeth and hangs them on tiny little racks. Guys, that must be hard work. It's nerve-wracking. Mr. Kissle, you went through all that just to tell me a joke.  He used laughing gas as an anesthetic. Yes, and you know something. It's the silliest thing. He puts the pliers in my mouth, turns on the gas, and it starts. I'm laughing. He's pulling. He's pulling. I'm laughing. Oh, he's such a mish mark. I never had that. How long did you keep laughing? Until he handed me the bill. I don't want to go in and get a glass of water anyway. Well, I better go now. Me too. Excuse me. I'll see you later, fellas. So long. Hello, Claudette. Nice of you to call. Dinner? Saturday night? Oh, sure, sure. Goodbye. Rochester, we have to have Miss Colbert's table claws ready by Saturday night. Then maybe... Oh, the front door. Hello, Jack. Oh, hello, Don. Come on in. You know, Don, when the doorbell rang, I knew it was you standing on the front porch. How did you know? Because I didn't have to walk to the door. I slid. It was downhill. It was that simple. Ha, ha, ha. Some joke. Big comedian, always making cracks at my expense. Don, I don't know why you should always be so sensitive about it. After all, you are fat. I'll tell you why I resent it. It's not my fault I'm so heavy. It's my glands. Your glands? Yeah, they weigh 200 pounds. Haven't you got a small gland, like 75 pounds? Look, it's about time you stopped kidding me about being fat. Everybody who knows you says you're becoming somewhat chubby yourself. Me?  For the past dozen years, my weight has always been 160 pounds. Oh, yeah? Well, I'll bet you weigh a lot more than 160 pounds right now. Don, I'll prove to you that you're wrong. Now, follow me. I have some scales in the bathroom. We'll see just how much I do weigh. There we are. Now, here. Here's the scale. I'll get on. All right, I'm on it, Don. Yeah, yeah. Look what it says. 169 pounds. Say, it does say that. Can't understand how I gained so much. Oh, I know what the extra nine pounds is. No, I left my wallet in my other pants. Yeah, I am gaining weight. Don, you get on. I want to see how much you weigh. Well, all right. I never saw that before. A card coming out of a bathroom scale. It's not a card. That's a spring. Imagine me being so much overweight.  Oh, Jack, that's fine. But I'll tell you something. I just started. What? Well, last week I joined the Beverly Wilshire Health Club and I exercised in the gym over there. I take steam baths and massages and everything. Hey, that sounds great. Yeah, it is. In fact, I'm on my way there now. How about you joining me? Don, you've got a deal. Let's go. Don, where's your car? You want to lose weight? You've got to walk a lot. You're right. I'll tell Rochester I'm leaving. Oh, Rochester! Yes, boss! I'm going over to the Beverly Wilshire Health Club.  No, I'm going to walk. Cracked about my car. Come on, Don. Let's go. It's a nice day. Yeah. I love walking here in Beverly Hills. Hey, Jack. What? Isn't that your neighbor's nurse over there pushing the baby carriage? Oh, yes. You know, that baby must be over a year old now. Such a smart baby, too. Yeah, and awfully cute, too. Yeah, here they come. Hello, you cute little thing. Coochie, coochie, coochie! Coochie, coochie, coochie! Jack, Jack, leave the nurse alone. Pay attention to the baby. Oh, yes, my glasses are so thick. Say, nurse, there sure is a sweet baby in there. Oh, really, Miss Year? Is that the baby Trevon? That's how he does it with you. Oh, listen to that. Wait. Now, don't cry. Here's a little game that all babies like. Now, pay attention, baby. This little piggy went to market. This little piggy stayed home. The piggy had roast beef, and this little piggy had none.  Jack, Jack, if you want to get to the club, we better get going. Wait till I put my shoe on. Goodbye, baby. Pardon me, Monsieur. We, myself? Would you give me a cigarette, please? What did you say, now? What did you say? She asked me for a cigarette. Here you are, mademoiselle. Oh, la la, lucky strike. Oh, this cigarette is my favorite brand. Well, I'm mighty glad to hear you say it's your favorite brand. You know, it's my favorite, too, mademoiselle. Can you tell me what lucky strikes you can come over to my house? I have a machine full there. Don, ask her if she knows the lucky strike song. I'd like to hear how it sounds in French. Mme Zelle, c'est vous chantier la chanson de Lucky Strike en français? Oh, oui, oui, avec plaisir. Si vous voulez mieux goût dans la cigarette, Lucky Strike est la marque à tester. La tostée donnait à vous le mieux goût. C'est la tostée. Oh, la la, cigarette. Like, dude, everybody on the street is applauding, you know. They all like Lucky Strike. Oh, well, why shouldn't they? Lucky's are clean and fresher, smooth. Yes, yes, they certainly are. Jack, we better hurry. Bonjour, Mme Zelle. Bonjour. Bonjour, Monsieur. Gee, I didn't know she spoke English, you know. Neither did I. You know, when she first came over here, she was a displaced person. Really? Well, everything seems to be in the right place now. Come on, Don, let's go. Well, and Jack, the first thing we'll do when we get to the club is take a steam bath. Oh, yeah, that's what we'll have. How long have we been in the steam room now, Don? No about a half hour.  I can't take too much of this heat, you know. There's awfully hot in here. I'll say. Boy, I haven't sweated like this since they closed the banks in 1933. Let's get out of here. Okay. There, Jack, put on these trunks. Gee, this club provides everything. Yeah, it really does. Now let's put on these terry cloth bath robes and go into the gym and meet the instructor. I'm right with you, Don. Oh, here's the instructor now. Oh, hello, Mr. Wilson. Hello, K.O. Jack, this is K.O. Stevens. K.O., this is Jack Benny. Hey, Jack Benny from Radio & Television. Pleased to meet you, K.O. The feeling is mutual. You know, Jack, K.O. used to be a prize fighter. Yeah, that's right, Mr. Benny. I had my first fight in 1940. Really? Yeah, I spent 12 years in a ring. 12 years, huh? Yeah, but I finally came to, got up and went home.  Okay. Now, before we start, Mr. Benny, I want to see your physique so I can know what exercises to give you. Turn around a couple of times. All right. Well, how do I look? No wonder you get last when you say you're 39. What? I think I'll start you and Mr. Wilson off with a regular bending exercises. You ready? I'm ready, K.O. Me, too. Okay, now as I count, bend down and touch the floor. Okay. Okay. One, two, three, four. Bend down and touch the floor. One, two, three. Mr. Wilson, you're supposed to touch the floor with your fingers, not your stomach. Yes, Don, you're not getting any benefit out of this. Hey, look, I think that'll be all for today. That's all? Yeah, there's no sense in overtone at the first time. Say, K.O., I don't want to get personal, but I'd like to ask you why boxers always do that. Do what? Whenever boxers talk, they go all the time. Well, I don't know why the rest of them do it, but I got a cold. I'm glad you explained that. Well, I'll go back in the steam room for about 10 minutes before I go on home. Oh. Okay, come on, Don. Let's see. This is the steam room here. Gee, the steam is much thicker than when we left. I can't see a thing. That same here. Doesn't steam as hot though? Yeah. Let's see if we can find a place to sit down. I can't see. Either can I, but follow me. Maybe we can find... Whoops, sorry I bumped into you. That's all right. I can't see a thing either. Don, what's a woman doing in the steam room? This is no steam room. This is Santa Monica Boulevard. I'll be darned. The smog is awful. Come on, Don. Let's get back in.

Well, you're not seven up with all is you're inside the range Wednesday What we did out here folks that we did a hundred thirty two million chairs today. We did 197 I mean 97 so bottom line is that you're inside of the lower range Once we got back inside 454 put you in the lower range that puts game on to October 4th That's how that baby shaking out October 4th inside the spy is 426 inside the end the x100 you got that 350 and 350 seemed like a long way down yesterday, but guess what it just is down ten and a half points today You're inside the lower range the lower range started at 382 your 379 and Bottom line is that that's what it was the cues are in an ABC structure on the way down the cues have taken out The Wednesday low of 386 you need volume of 78 million We've already got 83 million so the cues the ABC structure and the cues goes. Let's see 408 you got 408 386 basically we can actually 408 384 so you get 16 and age 24 and that's gonna bring you at about 9282 70 8272 68 that's 368 and this 350 is hanging on like a Store phone big 10 I suspect that's where we're going Gold gold contract is now this is gonna get really wild man because this is the this is gold has been trading differently There's no doubt for about three or four weeks now and what it what it's been is this it is not caught a bid in In fact went down the last ten days when the market's been shaky and The bottom line is that yeah, you get a sell-off happening But you do not have that inside the gold nor the gold equities in fact They want to go up this move today in the gold market is really a sweet move with hit 1766 and rejected it You're at 1786 and I like how it's got above yesterday's low It got into the low that was trading out here a week ago Friday that number was a set the 1784 number So that's saying guess what we're going back to upside once again The note and bond market now.

King dollar still basically having a tough time getting a detraction It looks to me like King dollars building cars folks to get into the lower range first It's gonna I suspect we'll see if it holds the top of the range the top of the range in King dollar is 94 561 so we're at 96 14 right now So that's that's a penny and a half above it because it had broken out it broke out on the November 10th And we're still quite above it. That's the bottom line. It's just having a tough time Right now with any type of price some of the higher volume equities out here today.  We're gonna go back to that. That's down a hundred dollars $100 is trading 133 that was just Unfortunately a smoker Nvidia Nvidia sound 17 and a half dollars at 303.  Do you figure that tell us sold out?  They're right there folks come right back down industrial is right now down 291 and assets up for 17 S&P's up 73


Mountains, regardless of where they are, whether they're in Africa or in the Antarctic, offer some of the most inhospitable terrain on the planet and require a different skill set, more than what basic training and other aspects of military training really offer. This is part of a mutual cooperation with the US and the French. So this is kind of mutual teaching and the US came here to teach the French their own techniques and we do the same things but different ways. So it is very interesting for us to discover new, to have a new view on what we do. That course is going to be five days long and it's going to be a variety of really basic mountain warfare tasks.  We'll have a big focus on rescue skills and how to evacuate injured soldiers using litters with ropes and blades and that's going to be a real big part of this five day program. The ability to dominate certain terrain features is a really big asset when it comes to maneuver warfare. This is base level for an individual to be able to start taking on some of the mastery of the skills that are necessary to dominate that kind of terrain. It demonstrates what the capabilities of an individual are later on down the line. So it's that they can go out and accomplish these tasks and what seems to be a mountain to climb at the end of the day wasn't as bad as maybe they thought it was.


A how-to guide on making the most of your wired microphone. Hello everyone, I'm Bridget Brown, the video producer and director at Alabama Extension. When creating a low-budget video, a wired microphone is your best friend. Not only does it deliver quality audio, but it is substantially less expensive than a wireless microphone system. Unfortunately, when you use a wired microphone, you sacrifice your subject's mobility and camera placements become limited. Today I'm going to show you how to make the most of your wired microphone by recording your audio on a separate device and then syncing both the audio and video together in post-production. Let's begin! First, set up the device that will record video as you would in a typical shoot. Next, you will plug your microphone into an additional recording device. A phone or smaller device is ideal because it will fit into your subject's pocket and hidden from view while recording. Now, press record on each device. Have someone stand so they can be seen in the frame of both cameras and clap their hands once. Have the screen facing away from your subject's body to avoid accidentally turning off the recording and have your subject place the device into their pocket. Film as you would a typical shoot, but make sure to have someone clap each time you stop your recording and then start again. Before you begin editing, you will need to sync up the recorded audio with the video. Today we will be using the same footage we used to create this tutorial. Begin by selecting the clip of your video recording and placing it in the timeline. On the top right corner of your timeline, you will see an arrow next to settings. Drag the arrow to the right to stretch out your video clip. With the play head at the beginning of the timeline, press play. Stop when you see the hands clap. Now, use the left and right arrow keys to find the exact spot the hands meet. Hover your mouse over the beginning of the clip until an arrow appears. Click and drag the clip to the play head where the hands meet. The clip will snap into place. Repeat this step with the clip you used to record audio. In order to accurately sync your clips, it is crucial that you drag the beginning of the clip to the exact same spot in your video. Right click on the clip of your video recording and choose detach audio. Select the audio and delete. Right click on the audio clip in your timeline and choose detach audio. Drag the audio clip so it fits directly under your video recording. Select the video from the audio recording and delete. Now, play the clip. When creating a low budget video, a wired microphone is your best friend. Not only does it deliver quality, your audio should now be synced with your video. For ease of editing, export each sync clip. Once you export the clip, you can bring the clip back into your editing program and start editing. By following this tutorial, your subject can now stand here, here, or here without sacrificing your video's audio. So get creative, think big, and don't let the tools you have limit the potential of your next video. I'm Bridget Brown and thank you for watching this tutorial on how to make the most of your wired microphone.


Hello, this video was created by Pune Morty, the information developer at BMC Software, and narrated by a computer-generated voice. For the purpose of this video, let us take an example that as a case agent, you were working on a case to onboard an employee. The case consists of onboarding tasks. You review the tasks and find a requirement to add some additional tasks to the case. You need to add a task, create a contract and you want this task to be executed after all the other tasks that are defined for this case. Let us now see how to add this ad hoc task to the case. Login to BMC Helix Business Workflows. Open the case for onboarding an employee and navigate to the Tasks tab. The task list displays all the tasks associated with the case. Here, to add an ad hoc task of creating a contract, click Add Task. Then click Add Ad Hoc Task and specify the task details. If you have a template defined for the task that you want to add to the case, you can use the option Add From Task template for adding the ad hoc task. Now, to assign the appropriate order in which tasks are executed, drag and drop the tasks in the desired order. Save the changes. You can now see that the create a contract task is appended to the existing ad hoc tasks. Now, you have a requirement to add one more task for generating employee ID after the execution of the predefined task add a new user. On the task list, click the task icon of the task add a new user and then add a task generate employee ID. The task is now displayed in the task list stacked below the task add a new user. When the case is in progress, you can view the status of tasks on the task list. All the tasks in the task list are categorized as in progress, upcoming, or completed based on their status. I hope this video helped you to understand how to add ad hoc tasks to a case. Thank you, for watching.


You saw the title and thumbnail of this video and there's a good chance that right now you're trying to determine whether or not it was clickbait. I think by about halfway through this video you are going to agree that it was not. So let's talk about arguably the most important nutrient for cyclists and other endurance athletes and that is iron. In short iron is responsible for getting oxygen from the air we breathe to the working muscles. However in some sort of twisted irony pun very much intended endurance training like cycling running swimming etc has actually been shown to diminish iron stores. If you're tired all the time lost motivation to train or you just don't have the snap that you used to low iron could be the reason. Today we'll be getting into the science on why iron is so important for endurance athletes why and how much training depletes it and what the solutions are. Welcome back to the channel this video is fueled by the feed well it's been a while since I've done a science video which is a little bit weird to say some of my newer viewers may not even realize that this used to be the only kind of content that I made and not every video on this channel was just about some race that I did where I did way too much overthinking about pacing or some incredibly pretentious bike setup or something like that and still didn't win don't forget that part let's get back to the topic in the video though why is iron such a critical nutrient particularly for endurance athletes for the most part these sports are aerobic meaning that the number one determining factor for success is how well you can turn the oxygen that you breathe in into ATP or energy and iron plays a key role in this process hemoglobin which contains iron and is found in red blood cells carries oxygen from the lungs to the working muscles this process creates ATP thus a deficiency in iron impairs ATP production and increases reliance on anaerobic metabolism or glucose which in effect reduces endurance capacity essentially not having enough iron means that you can't transport as much oxygen which means that your aerobic power goes down the drain your body can try to compensate with a larger reliance on anaerobic metabolism but that won't last you nearly as long the classic symptom that you'll experience if your iron deficient is chronic fatigue I've personally had low iron before and the best way that I can describe it is that you feel like you're weak and fatigued all the time even doing simple tasks like getting out of a chair or taking out the trash seem like a monumental effort well my girlfriend would argue that taking out the trash is still a monumental effort for me but I digress girlfriend let's be honest he's talking about his mom on the bike you feel like all of your energy is sapped you have no snap or punch and putting power into the pedals is a chore your recovery time also slows way down workouts that you used to be able to bounce back from in a day or two might put you out for a week for obvious reasons this is not optimal for performance it's also important to note that iron deficiency can lead to an increased susceptibility to infection as iron plays an important role in immune function if you frequently get sick and you display some of these other symptoms then it is possible that the underlying cause is an iron deficiency so now that we have a full understanding of just how important iron is for aerobic exercise let's get to the kicker of this video which is this increased prevalence of anemia and low iron in endurance athletes the rate of iron deficiency in the u.s for the general population is between 11 and 13 percent for women and less than 1 percent for men the reason for this discrepancy is of course the fact that women menstruate and in the process lose a lot of iron but also the fact that women generally take in less iron in their diet again this is just for the general population when we look specifically at athletes though this number balloons to between 20 and 50 percent for female athletes and four to 50 percent for male athletes depending on which study you look at and the frequency seems to be even higher amongst endurance athletes specifically this is quite a large discrepancy but the point is that it's a significant chunk of the athlete population i know the population of people that seem to be the most reliant on iron also tend to struggle with low iron life really is a cruel joke so the question is why why are endurance athletes so much more susceptible to iron deficiency the most common routes of iron losses are by way of sweat skin urine gastrointestinal tract and menstrual blood i think you can see where i'm going with this the amount of iron lost in sweat increases simply because athletes are sweating more than their sedentary counterparts that being said it does seem likely that heat acclimation reduces sweat iron concentration but there's no getting around the fact that if you exercise for hours a day then you're sweating a lot more than the average person and therefore losing a lot more iron exercise can also increase the amount of blood loss in urine as well as increased gastrointestinal blood loss not to mention the lifespan of a red blood cell in an endurance athlete can be reduced significantly and this further increases iron losses for these reasons the iron needs of an athlete specifically an endurance athlete are much higher than for your average person it's estimated that iron requirements may be 30 to 70 percent higher for athletes and of course this is an issue that female athletes need to be particularly vigilant of as well as frequent blood donors and vegans and vegetarians that's right for all the health benefits that plant-based foods provide unfortunately they do also have a reduced iron bioavailability because the iron they contain is non heme iron so i do realize that by this point in the video i've probably scared half the people watching into picking up an iron supplement from the store and popping them like skittles please do not do that before watching the next part of this video now i'm not saying that iron supplements don't work they do work and have been shown to improve performance in those suffering from iron deficiency or anemia the last part of that sentence was key for those suffering from iron deficiency or anemia it's important to note that if you're not deficient in iron then supplementing with iron will not improve your performance in fact it may actually do more harm than good iron overload is a thing and can be prevalent amongst athletes who supplement when they don't need to for example this study found that one in six male runners had signs of iron overload meaning that they were likely supplementing when they shouldn't have why is this a big deal isn't it better to be on the safe side and be a bit too high than a bit too low well that is the case with some nutrients iron is not one of them when body iron exceeds storage and transport capacity the excess iron remains unbound to proteins this free iron causes lipid peroxidation and free radical production processes that damage the cardiovascular system kidney liver and central nervous system for these reasons even if you're experiencing symptoms of low iron most notably fatigue and in endurance athletes a loss of performance that doesn't mean that you should just take an iron supplement and hope for the best and see what happens there are many potential causes of fatigue and low iron is just one of them again if that's not the cause of your fatigue then taking iron supplements won't help you for this reason please get blood work done before starting on iron supplements and get a healthcare professional to help you interpret the results too late anytime i hear take a pill and get faster in the same sentence i just order a year supply and leave the test tubes for the nerds so assuming that low iron is a concern for you what can you do about it as with any nutrient that you're concerned about getting enough of the first place to start is your diet and there's a couple things that you need to know that can help boost your iron intake and absorption the first and most obvious is to consume foods that are naturally high in iron and iron fortified foods but you will also want to take into account foods and nutrients that inhibit and promote iron absorption inhibitors will reduce the absorption of iron this does not mean that you should avoid these foods altogether but perhaps you do want to avoid them when you are having an iron-rich meal or supplementing the most notable of these are probably whole grains nuts and seeds coffee and tea and calcium and other minerals promoters on the other hand will increase iron absorption so including them in your iron-rich meal is a good idea and probably the easiest way to do that is to include vitamin c and vitamin c containing foods there's also an optimal time of day to consume iron iron intake appears to be higher in the morning and if you can manage it particularly within 30 minutes after exercise unfortunately this window of opportunity for increased iron absorption post exercise does not appear to be present in the afternoon of course though for some people diet alone will not be enough to meet all of their iron needs in fact because the amount of iron in the american food supply is roughly six milligrams per 1000 calories achieving the recommended intake of iron 18 milligrams per day through diet alone is difficult for most women indeed a woman would have to consume 3000 calories to get 18 milligrams of iron and this energy intake exceeds the needs and actual intakes of many female athletes iron supplementation is warranted in athletes with diagnosed iron deficiency anemia or serum ferritin less than 20 nanograms per milliliter and we have research that indicates that supplementation in this group not only raises iron levels but improves performance markers as well it can take time to raise iron levels but most cohorts do see a 40 to 80 percent increase in ferritin in an 8 to 12 week time frame again morning supplementation following exercise is ideal and for those with sensitive stomachs supplementing every other day instead of every day or lowering the dose is recommended all right that was a lot of information in a short amount of time so let's do a rapid fire conclusion here and then we'll wrap this video up iron is particularly important for endurance athletes because as part of hemoglobin it transports oxygen to the working muscles if your iron levels are low not only will you feel fatigued on a regular basis but your performance will also suffer daily iron requirements are higher amongst endurance athletes meaning that unsurprisingly deficiency is higher amongst endurance athletes as well especially females and people training at altitude that being said you do want to get blood work done to see if you're actually iron deficient before supplementing with iron because there is such a thing as iron overload and it is not good you can boost your iron intake and absorption by consuming iron rich foods and also by pairing them with absorption promoters and avoiding absorption inhibitors when you eat them in the morning and after exercise is the ideal time for iron absorption some people will need to supplement and for supplementation these same absorption rules apply wow so i could have just watched the last 60 seconds of this video and gotten all the information i need to know without all the boring science crap great thanks for saving this part to the end of the video bro it's really been a great use of my time thanks for watching if you want to take your training to the next level then i have coaching available as well as online training plans both of which are linked down in the description below if you enjoyed this video be sure to give it a like subscribe and share it with your cycling friends i'll see you in the next one


Hello and welcome to this session. This is Professor Farhad in this session. We would look at how to prepare financial statement. This topic is covered in financial accounting, basically an introductory course. Also, the topics are covered on the CPA exam, but this is very basic explanation of the topic. As always, I would like to remind you to connect with me on LinkedIn if you haven't done so. YouTube is where you would need to subscribe. I have 1,600 plus accounting, auditing, finance and tax lectures. This is a list of all the courses that I covered, including hundreds if not thousands of CPA questions. On my website, farhadlectures.com, you will have access to additional courses, material, PowerPoint slides, true, false, multiple choice. And if you're studying for your CPA exam, 2,000 plus CPA questions, I strongly encourage you to check out my website. So the first thing we're gonna look at is the four major financial statements and or purposes that I'm gonna illustrate in an example, how do we prepare each financial statement? So the first statement we're gonna look at is called the income statement. What is the income statement? Simply put, the income statement looks at your revenues minus your expenses. So your revenues minus expenses, it described the company's revenues and expenses and compute net income or loss. So if you have more revenues than expenses, let's assume you have 10,000 in revenues, 7,000 in expenses, then you have 3,000 of net income because your revenues are greater, but if you have 10,000 of revenues and 12,000 of expenses, then you have a net loss of 2,000. Simply put, it tells you whether you are profitable or not for a particular period, over a period of time. Period means not a point in time, it's for a period of time. For example, a month, a year, a quarter, okay, so this is what the income statement and obviously we're gonna look at an income statement in a moment. The second financial statement we're gonna be looking at is called the statement of retained earnings. And if you remember, we talked about retained earnings and what did we say? Let's go with this example. If revenues were 10,000, expenses were seven, the company made a profit or net income of 3,000. Now what can the company do with this net income? They can distribute some of it. For example, they can, let's do 50-50. They can distribute 1,500 in dividend and they can keep the 1,500, right? So the amount that they keep is called retained earnings. The amount that you keep from your earnings is called retained earnings. So the statement of retained earnings, explain the changes in retained earnings, so it's gonna start with retained earnings and we're gonna look at it, look at an actual retained earnings, but basically it's gonna start with retained earnings.  So this is the whole purpose of this statement of retained earnings. It's gonna explain to you what happened. Those are the changes, the changes in retained earnings, okay? So that's the purpose of retained earnings and obviously we're gonna look at an example. The third financial statement is called the balance sheet. A balance sheet, and by the way, retained earnings also for a period of time, just like the income statement. The balance sheet described the company's financial position. It tells you how much assets you have, liabilities and equity at a point in time. Point means one point, one day, a point in time, a point in time. So what does the balance sheet shows us? The balance sheet shows us the assets equal to liabilities plus equity. That's the balance sheet and those two should equal to each other. Now what is equity? You're gonna see that earnings as part of equity. We'll see that in an example and we're gonna look at a balance sheet. The last financial statements which I don't cover in financial accounting, it's called the statement of cash flows. It identifies the cash inflows and the cash outflows. If you are looking to learn about the statement, you have to go to my intermediate accounting course, specifically chapter 23. There's a one whole chapter about this topic or Google or YouTube far hat statement of cash flows or far hat chapter 23 statement of cash flows. So to prepare the financial statements we're gonna be looking at these summaries of transaction that we prepared in the prior session. And in the prior session, what we did is we looked at all these transactions, all of them, okay? We looked at all these transactions and what we end up is with the ending balances of these accounts, cash, account receivable, zero supplies, equipment, accounts payable, common stock, dividend, revenues and expenses. So we're gonna be looking at these ending balances and from these ending balances we will be preparing the financial statements. Which statement do we prepare first? First we're gonna prepare the income statement. So for every financial statement you're gonna have three headings. It's gonna be name of the statement fast forward, the name of the statement, income statement and the date. Notice it's a period of time. So the income statement is for a period of time and this is for the month and the December 31st. So it's not a point in time. It's not December 31st. It's four month ended. It means it covers the whole month of December. Now what goes on the income statement? Well, what goes on the income statements, your revenues minus your expenses. So first you have your revenues heading and under revenues you could have one or more revenues. In this example we have two revenues. We have consulting revenue and we have rental revenue. A total of 6,100, 6,100. Now where these numbers came from? Well, they came from here. They came from the transactions and this is the rental revenue and the consulting revenue. Okay, so we have rental and consulting and this is what we did. So all these numbers are coming from that exhibit in case you are wondering. So this is our total revenue, 6,100. Then we deduct our expenses that we have an expense heading. Then we, but before I proceed, single underline means we are performing a computation. So 5,500, 300 plus 300 equal to 6,100. Then we have expenses. Then we indent a little when we have a list. Rent expense, we have salaries expense. Those are our two expenses. Then we add them up 1,000 plus 700. Notice we add them up equal to 1700. Now we're gonna take the difference between revenues and expenses and that's gonna be net income. So notice under net income, the 4,400 is double underlined to indicate this is the last number on the financial statement. So this is the income statement. What does that tell us? It tells us that during the month of December of 2019 we generated more revenues than expenses. 4,400 more revenues than expenses. How so? Well, the revenues were 6,100. The expenses were 1,700. The difference is positive 4,400. Is that good? Of course it's good. We wanna generate, we want to generate positive net income. We want to generate more revenues than expenses. So that's the income statement. And in the real world, sometimes this is called the PNL, profit and losses statement. Then we're gonna look at the statement of retained earnings. Same thing, the name of the company, just like the income statement. The name of the statement, statement of retained earnings, then the date. The date is the same as the income statement. It's for a period of time, for a period of time. Now how do we prepare the statement of retained earnings? The statement of retained earnings explain the changes in retained earnings. What does it mean? It's gonna look at the beginning and look at the end and tells you what happened in between. So the beginning was zero. When we started this company, we did not have any retained earnings. It happens to be zero because the company was brand new. Then we had income of 4,400. Income increases retained earnings. Then we paid out dividend, less dividend of 200. So they made a profit of 4,400 and they only took a small amount out of the profit. So the ending retained earnings is 4,200 and notice this number is underlined to indicate this is the last number on this financial statement. Simply put, we had no retained earnings. Now we have 4,200 in retained earnings. So this is the statement of retained earnings. The third financial statement is the balance sheet. And on the balance sheet, we're gonna have the name of the company, the name of the statement balance sheet and the date. Now I wanna make sure you understand that the date is for a point in time in contrast to the other two statements. It's important. It's only a point in time. The balance sheet, it's gonna show us our assets and our liabilities and equity. So our assets are 4,800, 9,600, 26,000. Total assets are 40,400. Notice 40,400 is double underlined. In case you're wondering where these numbers are coming from, again, it's from the previous slide when I started. So you list all your assets in order of liquidity. Later on, we would look at a classified balance sheet. Then we looked at our liabilities. We only have one liability accounts payable. Then we look at our equity. Now our equity is composed of two things. Common stock is one, what the investors put in the company and retained earnings that's coming from the statement of retained earnings. Then we have total equity of 34,200. Liabilities plus equity equal to 40,400. Assets equal to liabilities plus equity. Now notice we have to prepare those financial statement in order. First, the income statement, then the statement of retained earnings because it feeds into the statement of, income statement feeds into the statement of retained earnings through the income statement. Then the balance sheet lasts because we need the retained earnings to complete the balance sheet. So this is in a nutshell, how we prepare financial statement. Now in an intermediate accounting course, you're gonna have one whole chapter about the income statement, one whole chapter about the balance sheet. It's gonna be a little bit more involved. If you have any questions, any comments about this topic, please let me know. As always I would like to remind you to visit my website for additional resources, especially if you are studying for your accounting courses or CPA exam. Invest in your career. It's worth it. It's a lifetime investment. Study hard and good luck.
