Well, it's official, tomorrow is the big day. Now being 39 weeks pregnant, the very last thing I wanna do is do the dishes. So today I'm gonna be sharing with you 10 of the easiest one-pot meals to just cut back on as many dishes as possible. Now I've been reflecting a little bit about all of the lasts. Now there are good things and there are bad things. One of the last I'm kind of excited for is that this will be my last night eating these delicious things to keep my heart burned down. This will also be my last time having Braxton Hicks contractions, which sometimes they're confusing. You're just wondering all the time, am I in labor? Am I in labor? No, not in labor, Braxton Hicks. But the one thing I am going to miss the most are these little tiny baby movements and little hiccups. But I am super excited for all the firsts that are gonna come with this new little baby and my little family. Now if you want updates of the baby, make sure that you are subscribed to the channel. I'm gonna be putting a few things in the community tab so you'll be able to find pictures and other things there that I'll be sharing. But while I'm gone, my cute sisters and mom are going to be taking over the YouTube for about a month. So make sure you come by, say hi, they're still going to be making super easy recipes so you guys can get dinner on the table. All right, I've been talking quite a bit. So let's just jump into these recipes. The first recipe I'm making is our Instant Pot French Dip sandwiches. So you're gonna take your Instant Pot, put in either a pork roast or a beef roast. It works either way. Then you're gonna add two cups of your favorite beef broth or if you can find beef consomme, that's the best.  Push the pressure cook button and you're gonna cook it for an hour. Now I like to let this sit for a few hours before I open the lid. Then it will make your meat nice and tender to shred apart.  You can have provolone cheese, I like to melt it or broil it in the oven for a few minutes. Then when you're all the way done, I like to dip it back into the juice. It's my favorite. The next recipe is Instant Pot crack chicken. So I'm gonna start with three frozen chicken breasts. You can use thawed if you want to, I'm doing frozen. I'm adding one cup of water on top, putting my lid on, make sure that the knob is turned to ceiling, not venting. And I'm gonna push manual. Now you can push pressure cook button if you have that kind, but this model is manual button. Now frozen, I'm gonna go up to 25 minutes to cook my frozen chicken. If you have thawed chicken, you can do 15 to 20 minutes. Now when your Instant Pot is done counting down and it beeps, go ahead and turn the knob over to venting or quick release. And then when all of the pressure's out, you can go ahead and lift the lid up. Now I'm just gonna go ahead and drain the liquid out of my pot, and then I'm going to shred my chicken. Now you can shred it with forks, you can shred it with a knife.  I got these for Christmas. Now when you're done shredding the chicken, go ahead and put it back into your Instant Pot. Now my Instant Pot is still on warm. I didn't turn it off or anything so I can mix everything in. So you have one packet of ranch dressing, eight ounces of cream cheese. Now I cubed mine so they would melt a little bit faster. A little bit of green onions, depending on how much you like, I love green onions. And then I cooked six pieces of turkey bacon you could use, like the pre-cooked bacon, whatever bacon you like, about six pieces and then just chop them up. Now we're going to just mix this up. The chicken should still be really hot and the pot will still be warm so you just keep stirring and the cream cheese will melt. I promise you that. Now while this cracked chicken was cooking, I cooked some egg noodles on the stove top to make my life a little bit easier. So I just put my cracked chicken on top of my egg noodles. Now if you don't want egg noodles, you can eat this just plain or on top of salad. It is so delicious and so versatile. You're gonna love it. Up next is our ravioli bake. I love this because you throw everything, cook it, done. So you're gonna take a jar of spaghetti sauce, you're gonna put about a half a cup down onto the bottom of a nine by 13 pan. Next you're gonna add frozen raviolis. You can find this in almost every grocery store in the frozen section. You're gonna do a line of raviolis, then you're gonna add a little bit more sauce on top. Spread that around a little bit and then we're gonna add another layer of raviolis. Finish putting the rest of your spaghetti sauce on top and then we're gonna top it off with your favorite cheese. I like to use mozzarella cheese on this recipe. You can use about a cup to two cups, whatever you like. Now you're gonna go ahead and put it in the oven, preheat your oven to 350 degrees, cook it for about 30 minutes or just until the cheese is melted and that ravioli is cooked all the way through. This recipe is so easy that even on busy nights, I can get my 13 or 11 year old to help make it, bake it and then serve. Our next recipe is our barbecue baked salmon. I love this because you can make it with the barbecue sauce and also add some vegetables on the side too, cook it all at the same time. So I take a foil lined cookie sheet and put my salmon on it. Now you can use all kinds of salmon sizes on here. I'm gonna sprinkle a little bit of salt and a little bit of pepper on top. Then you're gonna add your favorite barbecue sauce. I like to use Sweet Baby Rays on this one because it's not as liquidy and I just feel like it tastes so much better. And you're gonna put it in the oven at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes. I like to keep checking my salmon to make sure that it's cooked all the way through but usually 20 minutes will even get the thick areas. Now I like to serve mine over rice with a little bit of barbecue sauce on the side. Next is our Hawaiian barbecue chicken. So you're gonna start with two to three pounds of chicken breasts. Now these are chicken tenders. You can use chicken breasts. I would use about three chicken breasts but here I'm using about nine chicken tenders.  Then you're gonna add about a cup to a cup and a half of your favorite barbecue sauce. And that is it.  Now make sure that it's closed all the way and your little knob is turned to ceiling.  If it's a frozen chicken breast, you go to 25 minutes. All right, once it's done, I switch the knob to a quick release and took the lid off. Now everything is cooked all the way through.  I'll let it sit in there for about 10 minutes before serving. Now you can serve this over rice. I have an Instant Pot Rice recipe for you or my new favorite thing is to get Costco cauliflower rice in the freezer section and I just serve it on top of that. So dinner is literally ready in about 25 minutes. Next is our Instant Pot beef barbacoa. Now you can make this in the Instant Pot or in the slow cooker, whatever you have. So this recipe, even though it looks like there are a lot of ingredients, there's actually a lot of spices. So this, it really is so simple, but it tastes amazing with everything put together. So let's get started. We're going to push the saute button and we're gonna wait till this is all heated up. It will say hot when it's ready to go and then we're gonna continue on. All right, so now that it's hot, we're gonna add about two tablespoons of olive oil just to the bottom of your pot. Now once that's kind of heated up, the olive oil is all on the bottom of your pot, we're gonna add some beef. So this is a chuck roast that we've cut up into pieces and we're going to just brown it on both sides just quickly. Okay, so once it's browned on one side, then try your best to just flip it over. You're gonna try and brown it at least on two sides.  Then it's time to move on. So we're gonna just put everything else in. So we're gonna start with a half a can or I guess a half a cup of red enchilada sauce. I'm just gonna do half a can just to make it easy. Then we're gonna add two cans of these green chilies. You can leave the liquid in there. Okay, now these are called chipotle peppers and adobo sauce. Now they're really hot. If you guys like the heat, you can add a few chopped up, but because my kids don't love the heat, I just chopped up one and I'm just gonna just dump it in just to give it a little bit of spice and a little bit of flavor. Okay, now we're going to the spices. Okay, we're gonna dump in two tablespoons of lime juice. Now you can freshly squeeze it or just use the bottle. Whatever you like, whatever you prefer, one way or the other is not wrong. Then you're gonna have two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar. That gives it a good taste. And then two tablespoons of brown sugar. Just dump that all in, mix that around a little bit. Oh, it's already smelling so good. All right, so then we're gonna add two teaspoons of liquid smoke. Yeah, I love liquid smoke. That's one of my favorite things. So I would suggest not leaving the liquid smoke out. And then just one tablespoon of Worcestershire, Worcestershire, whatever you call it, that's what it is, one tablespoon of that. Gonna mix that in just a little bit too. Okay, now it's to the spices. Now if you don't have every single one of these spices, it will still taste amazing. So don't be intimidated by all of these. If you have them, great, use them all. I suggest that. All right, so then we're gonna add one tablespoon of cumin. Just dump that in. And then one tablespoon of ground oregano. If you just have normal oregano, that's fine too. I kinda like it. Ground. All right, next we're gonna do one teaspoon of onion powder. And then one teaspoon of garlic powder. All right, next we're gonna do a half a teaspoon of chili powder, half a teaspoon of smoked paprika. Just dump that in real quick. Now don't worry, if you're not writing all these down frantically down below in the description, I'll put all the ingredients there for you just to make it easy. And then last we have a fourth teaspoon of garlic cloves. Now I know that sounds funny, but it tastes so good in this, so a fourth teaspoon of garlic cloves, then a fourth teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Okay, we're gonna just mix this all together. Now there is enough liquid in here right now that it will pressurize. If you're a little nervous and if you get the burn notice a lot, you can always add about a half a cup more of liquid. But I personally think there's enough in here that we should be okay. All right, then we're also just gonna add two bay leaves just right on top while it cooks. Okay, let's get this lid on. All right, as you put your lid on, make sure it will do a little jingle so that means you're doing it right. You're gonna make sure that little knob is on sealing, not venting. Then we're gonna push the cancel because we're on saute right now and we don't wanna be on that anymore. So we're gonna push the cancel button. Then we're gonna push pressure cook because we've cut it up into small pieces and we've sauteed it a little bit. You only have to cook it for 30 minutes. So we're just gonna go up with a plus button to 30. So after you're done setting the timer, you're gonna wait for just a little beep. Once it beeps, you can just walk away. All right, so it's all done cooking. Now I let it pretty much release on its own for a little bit for about 10, 15 minutes. Then I'm gonna turn the little knob to venting or push the button to let all of the pressure out. Oh, perfect. Okay, once all the pressure's out, you can go ahead and lift up your lid. Oh man, it smells so good. And just kind of mix it around. Now you can do a lot of different things with this. You can serve it over rice. You can put in a tortilla. I personally like to eat it in a tortilla because, yes, I love tortillas. So we're just gonna put a little bit in here. You can add cheese. You can add sour cream. Just make sure you kind of drain the juice out if you're doing a tortilla because it'll be soggy if you don't. The one thing I do love is adding a little bit of cilantro, even just a little bit of lime, just right on top. Fold it up and you can eat it. Our next recipe is Instant Pot Chicken Alfredo. So to get started, you're gonna push the saute button and we're gonna let that heat up to hot. Yes, okay. So you'll just wanna add about two tablespoons of olive oil to the bottom of your Instant Pot. Now, can I show you my trick? Yes. I like to pick it up and kind of just like mix it, make sure it covers. We'll cover it. Exactly. No sticking, no burning here today. No, not today. All right, then we're gonna add, this is about three pounds of chicken. Now you can see that we've kind of cut it into strips. Just, it will make it cook so much faster if it's cut smaller. And I like this, I like the strips with Alfredo, right? That's what you think of when you think of Alfredo, so. And I like doing it beforehand because then after it's like, you're trying to shred hot chicken and it's like. Right. Once this is cooked, it's just nice. It's just nice and easy. And done. Exactly. You can hear sizzle, sizzle, sizzle. So how long do you saute the chicken for? So you're gonna do like three minutes on each side. I'm trying to spread them out as best I can. You're doing great. Thanks, thanks. Almost done here. Here we go. Last, oops, last two. Here we go. Okay. So we'll give them just a second, let them sit there. And then we'll just flip them over in about two to three minutes. So then just to season them up a little, we're just gonna do a little salt and pepper just for taste, no direct measurement. And you know us, we usually just kind of eyeball things. I'm just trying to. That's how it works here. Okay, they've been browned on both sides for about three minutes. We're just gonna kind of stir them up a little bit. There we go. Okay. Now we're gonna cook the pasta. So let's add some of our stuff here. Okay. So we're gonna add one teaspoon of minced garlic. Nice. Okay, then we'll add one teaspoon of parsley into this. Nice. And then we're gonna mix that around. Now I'm gonna hurry and turn off the saute button if that's okay. Oh, it smells good. Just with the garlic in there. It smells really good. Okay, then let's add our pasta on top and then we'll add on the broth. So we're gonna add just like one pound of the pasta. And then the secret of the pasta is we're just going to make sure that all the pasta is covered with liquid. So right now this is four cups of chicken broth that we're gonna put in here. It's like we just need to add, yeah you wanna measure that a little bit. You might need to add just a little bit more. When your pasta's not touching the liquid, it's gonna get hard and crispy. We don't want that. We want soft pasta. We want crunchy noodles and pasta. Okay, how's that looking? Can we pat the rest down? Perfect. I think we're ready now. Ready? Ready. Let's do it.  Now if you have a little knob, make sure that it's turned to ceiling. Not venting. This one doesn't have a knob so it automatically just sets onto ceiling. So you're good. So you're gonna push the pressure cook button or the manual button. And then we're gonna go down to four minutes because our chicken's pretty much cooked. We just gotta cook the noodles and we're ready to go. So once it's set, you can go ahead and walk away. All right, so once the timer is all done, you can go ahead and either turn your little knob to venting or with this Instant Pot, all you have to do is press the button now. Ready? Here we go. Okay. Once the pressure is out, you can go ahead and safely take off the lid. It does smell good. It's gonna mix it around. It looks like there's like a little bit excess water, but not too much. I feel like we're okay to just leave it as it is. So, okay. Now we're gonna add the good stuff. We're gonna make the sauce. Yes. To us, we're going to add cream cheese and it's okay if it's still a little cold because they will all melt together with the hot pasta and the chicken. Right? And so that's the eight ounce block of cream cheese. Okay, while you're gonna do that, I'm gonna put in like a fourth cup of Parmesan. Nice. Do I mix it around and you put in the next? Awesome. And then this is just one cup of mozzarella. Love all this cheese.  All good stuff. Now, if you wanted to cook a little bit faster, you can push the saute button and we'll heat things up a little bit more. Okay, this will take just a few minutes to melt all our cheeses and cream cheese and everything. So, you just keep at it. Keep at it. So, while we're waiting for it to, you know. Melt. Melt, thicken up a little bit. To help thicken it up, we're gonna take two tablespoons of water and then just one tablespoon. It's a half, we need two of them. So, one tablespoon of cornstarch. And we're just going to mix it up a little bit and then put it in there while it's on saute to hope it will thicken it right up for us.   There we go. All right, so we're just gonna stir this for a little bit until it's nice and thick. So, everything is stirred together. It's creamy, it's thickening up. So, it looks just. Yeah, turn this off. Turn off our sauté, y'all. There we go. And then we're just gonna serve this up. And we like to serve this with just a little bit of basil on top. It just adds a really nice fresh flavor to it all. You could also put a little bit more Parmesan on top too. That's one of my favorites. Never opposed to more cheese. Never opposed to that. Especially with Dilling with Alfredo. And there it is, your finished product. Now, this next recipe is another sheet pan recipe. It's our one pan chicken fajitas. The first thing we're gonna do is to lay the chicken tenders onto the sheet pan. Next, we're gonna add either taco seasoning or fajita seasoning, whatever you have. We're gonna add about half of the packet on top of the chicken. Next, I'm gonna take a jar of salsa. I love herdez salsa. And we're just gonna sprinkle a little bit of salsa on top of the chicken also. Okay, so I cut up a yellow pepper and a red pepper. And then I also cut up an onion. Now, you can do your onion in strips, but my kids don't really love onions, so I'm trying to hide them. So I did small pieces for my onions. Then we're just gonna pour this right on top of your chicken. You can do it in between, you can do it on top. It doesn't really matter. Now for the onions. Now I'm just gonna add the rest of the taco seasoning right on top. And then we're gonna drizzle everything with a little bit of olive oil. Okay, this is all ready to cook. So we're gonna cook it at 375 degrees for about 40 minutes. All right, when you're all done, you're just gonna take it and put it in a tortilla and add your most favorite toppings. Now I needed a soup in there because I love soup and they're all just one pot. So today I'm gonna show you how to make enchilada soup. So you're gonna start by putting two or three chicken breasts in the bottom of your instant pot. Now these are chicken tenders. You can use tenders or you can use chicken breasts.  Next you're gonna add two cloves of garlic. I also like to use the minced garlic so it's about one teaspoon. Next you're gonna add one teaspoon of chili powder. Oh, got a little too much there. Next you're gonna add one teaspoon of worcestershire, one teaspoon of bad sauce. Then add one teaspoon of Tabasco sauce in it. Now that seems like a lot but it actually isn't too spicy. If your kids are funny about spice, maybe do a half teaspoon. Then on top of that I'm gonna add one small chopped onion. Next add one chopped red pepper. Now they didn't have red peppers at my store so I used an orange one. Then one can of drained black beans. Then you're gonna add one can of corn.  Next add two cups of your favorite enchilada sauce.  Now I love to get these big containers because I know it's already four cups and I can just dump the whole thing in without measuring.  If you're doing the Instant Pot, make sure you turn the handle and make sure the little thing is on sealing, not venting. If you're cooking with a slow cooker, put the lid on and set it for six to eight hours.  Now when it's done cooking, I did a quick release so that means I pushed it over to venting and let all the steam out.  Oh, it smells so good. Now I'm just gonna find my chicken and shred it. Now with the Instant Pot, it is going to be really hard to hold onto and it will shred very, very easily. Now when you're done shredding your chicken, you're gonna add one half cup of cream and then about a half a cup of sour cream. I might add a little more because I love when it's nice and creamy. Then when you're done with that, stir it in a little bit so the sour cream can melt and the cream will mix in pretty good. Next, you're gonna add two cups of cheddar cheese. Mix it really well until everything is melted and well combined. Now if you're doing this in the slow cooker, you're gonna do the same exact thing. You're just gonna make sure it's still on low while your sour cream and cheese are melting. That's all done. I like to serve it with cheese so the cheese is melting, some little tortilla strips and cilantro on top. And the very last recipe is our beef stroganoff. So I put a little olive oil in the bottom of my Instant Pot, push saute and then I have stew meat that I threw in. Now I'm putting garlic salt, salt and pepper in there and now I'm just gonna mix it around so it will sear the meat just a little bit. So I'm gonna let it sear for just about two to three minutes and then I'll add some other things. So on top of the meat, you're just gonna add some onions. I did half of an onion but you can do a whole onion. Then add half a teaspoon of garlic or one garlic clove and then I added a whole container of mushrooms. If you don't like mushrooms, you don't have to add them in but I love them so I added a lot.  You'll notice that the Instant Pot recipe is a little bit different than the slow cooker recipe and we're gonna add two tablespoons of flour right now and then mix it all together. All right, then we're gonna add one tablespoon of where's to share, where's to shire. However you call it, it's that sauce. One tablespoon of it right on top and then you're gonna pour three cups of beef broth right on top and you'll have one cup left if you have a container like that, keep that because we're gonna put that in later on. All right, our food is ready to cook. We're gonna go ahead and put the lid on now. Make sure that it seals tightly and that it's on sealing, not venting. Now mine is on saute right now so I'm gonna turn it off. Then I'm gonna push the manual button and go up to 12 minutes. Now if you're curious about cooking times, I have a little cheat sheet right here or in the description I'll send a link so you can go find it there also. Now usually with me I like to let it release on its own but right now we're doing a quick release because I wanna get the noodles in and cooked. Now as soon as all the pressure is released go ahead and take off the lid.  So now I'm gonna add about 16 ounces of egg noodles. Now when I'm done dumping it in I'm gonna stir it around a little bit. If there is lots of moisture in there go ahead and don't add any beef broth but I felt like I needed just a little bit more and so I added about a half a cup more of beef broth. So now you're gonna close the lid again, make sure that it's on sealing again and then we're gonna cook it.  That's how long noodles take to cook. Now when it's all done I did a quick release because my kids were ready to eat and I was starving too. So go ahead and take the lid off then you're gonna take one cup of sour cream and just pour it right in. You wanna do this right after the lid is off because it was still gonna be really hot. Now go ahead and mix in your sour cream. Now if you noticed mine has a little bit more liquid than I would like you can go ahead and keep the saute button on and it will thicken up because the flour that you put in there. All right everyone thank you so much for joining me. Now I'm gonna see you in about a month. Make sure you tune in while I'm gone. Say hi to the sisters and my mom and yeah I'll be back with a little baby. Okay I'll see you guys later. Bye.


Hello and welcome back to GameDevAcademy. I'm Shane and in today's video lesson I'm going to show you how you can get a waving flag just like this up and running in Unreal Engine in no time at all So first thing I need to do is stop this running and get out a full screen And you see I've got a flag in there. It's all set up What I'm gonna do is just delete this so I can take you through the process of getting it set up So you can see I've got all bits and bobs in here that I'm just gonna delete Get rid of these And I've also got a wind going on that I also need to delete. Okay, that's perfect Now what we need to do is get this set up and I want to show you exactly how it works first of all So this is the model that I created for this exercise. You can see it's pretty straightforward We just have a flagpole and a flag now What's important about this flag is you can see that I've got it quite heavily subdivided And I wanted this to look more like a silky satiny kind of flag So I found that in order to do that I needed to divide it quite high You see the squares on this are quite small And another thing that I learned is that in order to get this to come in as one mesh I've had to do some parenting So the flag is a child of the pole and the pole is the parent of the flag and in order to do that if I just Unparent it so we go to edit Unparent to parent that all I need to do is select the flag first Shift select the pole and then just go to edit parent and And then it's just a case of exporting that as an fbx like you would anything else if you're moving it into a real engine So let's get this important into a real engine then we're going to go to a real engine And I'm just going to import it to the content folder I would sort it if I was doing this properly, but it's just an exercise into it. So let's go to import Find the mesh so I won't flag there it is next to my marriage certificate and What is important to get this to work is that we tell it that it's a skeletal mess that's all you need to change on here and then you can click on import it will tell you that there's no bind post there Isn't a bind post because there's not actually any bones in this and there's also no smoothing group again That's fine because I didn't put any in there So we can close that and then what I'll do before I start getting all the wind and stuff set up is I need to Just set up the materials so we'll do the pole first and I've got this set up just so that it comes through And then what we're going to do is just kind of set it to like a metallic steel So we're going to go for quite a dark gray. I might just add a blue tint to it Just slight A little bit darker something like that and then we're going to add a constant To handle the metallic and we're going to set that to one and One more constant which is going to go in the roughness and I want to set this to about 0.5 Actually, I think I'll go a little bit lower. Let's go 0.35 35% rough Yep, that'll do it and then we can save that one and close it down Lovely and then we need to do Something similar with the flag but in order to do that. I also need to bring in some textures So I'm just going to go to import to gain. I've got flag and Ukraine flag Obviously, I'm doing the Ukraine flag There's some awful stuff going on there at the moment And whilst I don't have a flag pole to share my solidarity in real life I can absolutely do it on YouTube content. So there we go. I'm just going to now save everything awesome, and then we go into our flag material I Can delete this and we're going to bring in some texture samples This one is going to be the color and we'll put that into RGB This one's going to be the normal and we'll put that into the normal This one just needs to be tiled. So I'm going to get a texture coordinate node Like so plug that into UV's and we're going to tile that three times on each axis And this is just to make it look a bit more like fabric not that you can really tell but I know it's there And I want it to look good. So we've got that and then finally I want a constant for the roughness Because I want this to look kind of like a satiny flag as I said So we're going to go for something like 0.4 and I can always come back and change that later if I don't like the effect Yeah, we'll give that a go and then save it Okay, with that done what I'm now going to do is just drag the flag in like that and then rotate it around so that I can actually see it and As I rotate this around you can see that I've forgotten to do something so back into the flag material and We just need to say that this is a two-sided material should have done that in the first place I should know better than that there we go and Now we can actually see the flag success Okay, so now that we've got that in there The next thing to do is to actually get this to behave as cloth Which is what we're doing to get the flag to do what we want it to do with simulating cloth So let's go into the flag asset here. So it's the pinky purple you want double click on that And then we'll just rotate around so we can actually see the flag We'll do it that way just to match how we've got it in the city fact now Let's do it that way because this is actually the front and then we need to activate the clothing Section so this is this window here, but if it's closed which it might be by default So I'll just close mine you can go to window clothing That will open it up and then you need to select it and to do that make sure you click on section selection first Otherwise it won't work. So make sure that is activated Click on the flag then you can right click on it and we're going to do create clothing data from section And then just go down to create that's fine Then we need to right click on the flag again And we're going to go to apply clothing data this time and then just there's only one available So we'll click on that and then that now kind of sets it up and we want to be able to paint on it So that's this activate cloth paint up here We'll give that a little cheeky click and it won't let us paint straight away We need to say that we're painting on this clothing data And then we get this brush that we can work with so by default the paint value here is set to 100 Which I actually like that works out pretty well So we're going to leave that as it is and the only thing I'm likely to change is the brush size But first let's just get in a little bit close So you can see that these are kind of all pink and that means at the moment if we did anything in fact if we deactivate it This is now Simulating the cloth you can see it's still not doing anything So we need to paint those pink bits away and if I just paint kind of like half down here And then deactivate it You can see that that's now doing something So we'll go back in and we'll sort of paint the rest and I think it's going to make me paint around the backside of it as Well, but we'll see so we're going to go kind of up to the edge here And at that stage, let's just go down to the bottom. I'm going to need a smaller brush So let's just bring this radius down so I can be a bit more precise And I'm probably also going to need to just get in a little bit closer Because what I want to do is just paint up kind of to the one Final row of vertices at the side. I don't necessarily have to be super Accurate with this because it is fairly forgiving as long as some of it's there But what I want you to do that and then I want it to look like it's attached in like three places So I'm just going to do that there Let's just see if I can actually see what I'm doing and Do that there and then I'm just going to leave a little strip in the middle as well Hopefully you can see that so a bit of pink up there a bit of pink there and a bit of pink at the bottom Now we'll deactivate that And you can see it's doing this here Which is mighty frustrating So what I'm going to do is just go around the back and Just try and paint it from the other side and see if that will alleviate the problem I'm having so we'll make the brush a bit bigger again And we're just going to paint away here at this side and then we'll deactivate Still not behaving itself Okay, if it does this to me did this to me last time I try this I can also try up in the paint value to something higher. We'll go for 500 and Then we'll paint this side away with it again And then we'll deactivate Much better. So now you can see I just needed a bigger value there, but it's working. It's behaving itself So that at this stage is actually set up to behave as a flag so we can save that and I'll show you this working in the level So if we now go to play and I go to instead of just playing the game I go to simulate that allow me to still make some changes in the level as I'm working with it So just wait for this to catch up There we go, so that simulation is now happening so I can now click on this mesh and with my rotate tool on If I rotate it you can see I can actually wave the flag the simulations happening all the time So that's pretty good So let's just hit escape to come out of there and that'll put it back But if you want it to go like it was at the beginning of the video then you probably want to have on Some wind So let's get some wind. We'll go to create up here We're gonna go into all classes and just scroll right down because I know it's near the bottom somewhere and then we're looking for Wind where is it? Wind directional source. There it is. So we give that a click and If I just move this down a little bit this blue arrow here controls which direction the wind is blowing And that's actually perfect for all you want because it's blowing that don't know I'm that way blowing that way so Now that that's happening we can just select the wind direction We just need to make it a bit stronger and I've tested this already I know that for this level and this flag a value of about 13 is good And that's all we need to change if we now go to simulate again There we go and that is now Blowing in the wind it is beautiful One other thing that you might want to do if you just experimenting with it is if you search for your wind here While we're in the simulation mode we can make changes So if I decide that I want the wind to be not quite as strong, let's go for eight And you can see that that wind has now dropped and we're getting a slightly different result out of the flag But as I say I quite like a value of 13. So I'll add a bit more wind to it. There we go And so that brings us to the end of this video Obviously, you might see that there is a little bit of a hidden message in this video somewhere And what I will be doing with the proceeds of this video and all the ad revenue I'm going to donate to a charity. I don't know which one but a charity supporting Ukraine Whichever one I choose I will put in the link in the video description I'll also leave a link if you want to donate to support the people in Ukraine as they're going through a really difficult time right now Anything we can do to help them. I'm sure it's it's not much but Hopefully everything will come together to make a difference in some small way I would also like to say thank you to my patrons who keep supporting the channel Extremely extremely helpful. It helps me to keep doing what I'm doing It gives me time during the week to be able to work on exercises And I feel incredibly lucky that there are people that allow me to do this So thank you so much. If you want to become a patron link is in the description below Otherwise, thanks for watching and I will see you in the next class


Matthew chapter 4 verses 18 through 22 Matthew writes now Jesus walking by the Sea of Galilee saw two brothers Simon called Peter and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea for they were fishermen and he said to them follow me and I will make you fishers of men then they immediately left their nets and followed him and going on from there he saw two other brothers James the son of Zebedee and John his brother in the boat with Zebedee their father mending their nets and he called them and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him so what we have here is in these verses Jesus calling four of his apostles he's calling Simon he's calling Andrew James and John now when you look at your Bible there are multitudes of people who heard the message of the gospel from these multitudes came disciples from these disciples came the Apostles a disciple is a lifelong learner who has attached themselves to a leader a mentor learning the teachings of that mentor and learning how to explain those teachings to others we as Christians have been called to be disciples but out of the disciples the Lord Jesus Christ called 12 who were also called apostles apostles are people who are called by God delegated with authority and sent out and so not every disciple is an apostle but all the apostles were to be disciples and what we have here is Jesus calling four of these who not only are moving from being called disciples but they are also referred to as apostles and so we're looking at the calling of four of these men as mentioned Simon Andrew James and John now this is not Simon and Andrew's first encounter with Jesus because we know that according to John chapter 1 verses 35 through 42 Andrew had been a disciple of John and we know that Andrew had brought his brother Peter to meet Jesus Christ in John chapter 1 verses 41 and 42 it says the first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him we have found the Messiah that is the Christ and he brought him to Jesus and Jesus looked at him and said you are Simon son of John you will be called Cephas which when translated is Peter and so Jesus had already spoken to them and ministered to them but now they're coming into what would be called full-time or permanent discipleship when you look at this verse here let me give you a second thing here as an introduction in verse 18 notice how it says Jesus walking by the sea of Galilee saw two brothers when you read your Bible and I'm assuming all of us do when you read your Bible in the Old Testament as well as they knew you're going to discover that the sea of Galilee is actually referred to by different names it's called the sea of Kineret in the Old Testament it's also called Lake Tiberias it's referred to also as the Lake of Ganesaret and so there are different names associated with this one body of water that we call the sea of Galilee the reason it's called the sea of Galilee is because it's actually a good-sized lake it's like eight miles from the east to the west it's about 13 miles from the north to the south and at its deepest point it's about 720 feet and so it's a good-sized body of water and so the Lord Jesus Christ is there ministering in this location so it says in verse 18 Jesus walking by the sea of Galilee saw two brothers Simon called Peter and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea for they were fishermen during that time there were different ways to catch fish there are basically three ways that the fishermen would fish they had what we today simply call hook and line they also had a system of a drag net that would be strung between two or three boats and it would it was a drag net it was used in that fashion and then they had a different kind of fishing that was called net fishing and the net itself was probably around nine feet in diameter and they would they would take this this this net and they would throw it into the water just offshore and that's what's taking place here and so Jesus Christ is ministering to these people who are busy at work as it says they are casting a net into the sea they were fishermen but notice verse 19 what happens he said to them follow me and I will make you fishers of men they immediately left their nets followed him and so in the first encounter Jesus had with his men he was intending for them to have solid faith in him because obviously he's going to save you before he sends you but now they're his followers he intends to send them out into a ministry field and so as we look at this I want to develop a few things let me lay a foundation and then we're going to look some practical application of this but as we look at this today I want to show you a couple things one thing isn't really noticeable when you first read it but it's something you find later in your reading of Scripture and that would be that these men are intended to be the building blocks of of the church these are men who are going to be foundations of the church these apostles and that's because the church was designed by God to continue past the first century you know we as believers are called by God to impact the world until the return of Jesus Christ and so these men are really what we would call his building blocks for the work of the church on earth how do we know that well Ephesians 2 19 and 20 in the New Testament book of Ephesians it says consequently you are no longer foreigners and aliens but fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets with Christ Jesus himself is a chief cornerstone so they were the building blocks for the work that would continue till the return of Christ and the church has been created by God with the purpose it's to shine as lights in a sin darkened world in first Peter chapter 2 verse 9 the apostles said you are a chosen generation a royal priesthood a holy nation his own special people that you may proclaim the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light so we are intended as a church to be transformed agents of a transforming message and as believers we are then sent out to share what God has done for us it's really important to develop this at this point God never intended us believers to keep to ourselves what he's done for us God doesn't intend to do a work in me on a personal level and then for me to remain silent about it God intends me to take and speak concerning the things he's done because what he's done for me he can do for anyone and we really have to have that kind of idea in these last days when so many people seem to be so quiet about their faith it's time for believers to open up it's time for us not to be you know pugnacious and belligerent and argumentative and and all of that no but at the same time if God has touched our lives we ought to tell somebody about it we ought to share about the good things that God has done that's what he intends us to do there was a man the Bible speaks of him is a man that was in a region called the Gadarenes and this man had been severely demon-possessed Jesus and his men had landed there on the shoreline the eastern shoreline of the Sea of Galilee and this demonized man came running out of the tombs and he was shrieking and people were so afraid to go past this particular region because they had tried to bind him in chains and shackles and and he had broken them and he was in the in the tombs and he had sharpened stones and he was constantly harming himself cutting himself shrieking and the people were so afraid and yet this man comes rushing out from that area when Jesus lands in and he runs up to the Lord Jesus Christ and begins to speak to him and as this takes place Jesus ultimately cast the demon out of him there were actually Jesus said what is your name and he said Legion for we are many and so there were 2,000 demons within this man who severely demonized and we know the story I found that Jesus granted them permission to go into the pigs and the pigs rushed over the lip of that cliff there fell into the Sea of Galilee and were drowned and this man was now seated there in his right mind and Jesus begins to minister to him it says in Luke chapter 8 verses 38 and 39 the man from whom the demons had departed begged him that he might be with him but Jesus sent him away saying return to your own house and tell what great things God has done for you and he went his way and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him he said go and tell somebody what God has done so God does not intend us to keep to ourselves what he's done for us he wants us to go out and tell others and God intends the work that would that was done to continue to be done into the future and these men that were looking at here and in Matthew chapter 4 verses 18 following these are men that God's in tending to use now as I was looking at this I began to look at some of the things that related to their call and there are some things I'd like to share with you about the calling of these men I would remind you first and foremost though that as we look at these men yes this is the calling of the apostles but these are what would be called transferable concepts these are things that not only can apply to them but can apply to us as believers because I'm speaking about these men being used to minister and sometimes today especially when I say those who are in ministry you may immediately be thinking in terms of paid staff members of a church but every one of us has been called by God to serve him every member of this fellowship is equipped for the works of service that's what we're supposed to do so every member is a minister and so it doesn't matter if you're a staff member it doesn't matter if you're called pastor or elder deacon or whatever the fact is this is something all of us are intended by God to do and when God calls you to serve him there are various things that apply to all of us for example in this particular case we first see according to verse 18 that God's calling and timing may interrupt your life these men had an occupation that was picked out they were fishermen they were businessmen but Jesus had different plans for them and I've discovered that God has a way of interrupting our own plans in order that he might bring us into his and his plans are always better than ours anyway if I had my way if I was following my own script at this moment I wouldn't be married to Marie I'd be married to somebody else because I wanted to marry anybody who'd say yes she just happens to be the first one who said yes but I would have if I had my way at one time before I met Marie I definitely wanted to marry somebody else and if I'd have been married to that person I wouldn't be here right now another thing I think about is I wouldn't even be in Chino I would probably be in San Luis Obispo which is where I've been wanting to escape for many years because I like it up there but God has better plans God has plans for you Jeremiah 29 11 says I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord plans to prosper you and not to harm you plans to give you hope in a future God wants to do a work and God wants to use us to do that work and he has plans for us to do those things and you may have a plan for yourself you want to go to school you want to get your degree you want to do a variety of things and end up doing some occupation whereas God may say well that's great that you have all that training but I'm calling you to something else I got saved I sensed to call into the ministry I started going to Bible college my plan was to go through school I was going to Biola Biola was five year school to get your bachelor's degree then you have your master's that you get after that takes you to two to three years my plan for myself was to get my bachelor's move on into my master's and at the age of 31 to go into full-time ministry as a pastor of my church that was my plan it's interesting how that the Lord had different plans because I didn't graduate from Biola I didn't get my master's degree but I did get into full-time ministry when I was 31 actually 30 and so the Lord had his plan for me the plan was for me to do what I'm doing and I had to learn to flow with his plan rather than to try and make him flow with mine and one of the things you see about this also is that and I want you to notice this that these were ordinary men casting a net into the sea they were fishermen and so God delights in using ordinary men to do extraordinary things again they were simple fishermen but God intends to make them into men of God and part of what he is teaching them is that they don't have the adequacy but he does Luke 1827 says that things which are impossible with men are possible with God and that is the overwhelming testimony of Scripture when you look at yourself you may be saying within that you don't have anything to commend yourself you don't speak well you're not good looking perhaps you're you're not from a real well-known family I'm a variety of things you may not be well educated but when you look in Scripture the overwhelming testimony of Scripture is that God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things you look at Abraham the father of the nation of Israel he was an idolater David who became king and Amos who was a prophet were both shepherds Jeremiah was simply a young man we see Simon Peter Andrew James and John as fishermen Matthew was a tax collector and Luke was a doctor God takes ordinary and makes it into extraordinary if God can do that with them here's your question to apply to yourself if God could do that with them why can't he do that with you what is it in your life that God wants to do that you're not allowing him to do what is it that you're nervous about you're afraid to trust them in listen when I got saved one of the things that was hindering me from getting saved was a fact that I'm shy I don't I don't want the center of attention I don't necessarily feel comfortable there and so the idea of having to stand in front of all of those people the idea I still remember the prayer I mentioned it to you recently how that I said to the Lord I can't stand because Arthur Blessed was saying stand to your feet I can't stand because I said to him because I'm shy and I still am there have been times when people think that I'm a bit stuck up maybe I am I don't know so what shut up no but I am shy and reserved always been the idea that the Lord would place me in front of people is a cosmic joke is something that I would never have planned for myself my plan for me was a very simple plan my dad was a truck driver I like driving trucks I want to be a truck driver as a matter of fact at one point I was an assistant pastor and I resigned my position and I told Marie my wife I said to her you know I'm no longer serving in pastoral capacity the Lord has released me from that obligation that service I said maybe it's time for me to move up to San Luis Obispo I said I have a friend named Nick who is actually a manager over a bread company it's a delivery company and so I said I could go up to San Luis Obispo and deliver bread I said I've been delivering bread for a long time the bread of life why not just real bread for a while she wasn't into it and so the rest is history the rest is history you know don't run away from what God wants to do in your life God wants to do abundantly above all you could ask her thing he has something he wants to do in you and you may be saying to yourself but I'm not extraordinary that's fine because God is and all you need to do is trust him God delights on building on the foundation of human impossibilities that's so that no flesh will glory in 1st Corinthians chapter 1 verses 26 and 27 Paul said it like this brothers think of what you were what you were called not many of you were wise by human standards not many were influential not many were of noble birth but God shows the foolish things of the world to shame the wise God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong why so that no flesh should glory in his sight God can use anybody anybody who is available the question simply is are you available now God when he calls you intends for you to respond immediately immediately notice verse 20 it says they immediately left their nets and followed him and so the Lord wants us to meant to to respond he calls you to follow him and then over your life you seek him through prayer by his word his spirit leads you to where you're supposed to be is like what it says in Psalm 37 23 the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord and he delights in his way the Lord has a way of working I'm from Norwalk I get saved go into the army get out of the army September of 1973 start teaching a home Bible study in Norwalk my brother Frank a year later in August August 4th 1974 my brother Frank gets saved Frank doesn't have a church close by needs to be discipled my sister Madeline and I climb in my 1965 Volkswagen start driving from Norwalk to Ontario in September of 1974 my brother used to live right off of San Antonio and Holt right by a park they're close to I think it's B Street and I used to go to this little apartment and I would teach my brother it was my sister Madeline my brother Frank and me that was our Bible study I came just to speak to him about Jesus he began to invite friends when he invites friends their co-workers a young woman a Marie shows up Marie comes in two weeks later or so she gets saved she needs discipling I take the task upon myself she's from Chino we get married now prior to getting married I used to live just up the street from here if you went to Philadelphia and you took a left you went to East End just go about half a block block or so off to the right there's this place is Lou Bay hay and feed or something like that there's this this house there I used to say it's a rock house but people got the wrong idea it's not a rock house it's the house with rocks on it house really rocks and I used to I used to live there I had Bible studies there Marie would come and meet me there and we would drive past this location when the chapel there was new and we would drive by and I still remember telling her when you drove by man that's a great looking little church there that'd be a great place to have as a church little did I know that the Lord was ordaining my footsteps to one day pastor on the property that I used to drive by when I lived just up the road God has a way of putting your your destiny if you will your your future he has a way of bringing you into it and while all he wants us to do is just to respond to follow him and and to follow his leading and he wants to do something because when it says follow me that word follow is a word that speaks with of an immediate reaction no delay come now so he says I want you to move now and this is what I want to do with you I want to make you fishers of men so he said follow me my premier responsibility is to follow Jesus Christ carefully and closely remember Christianity is not a system it's not a denomination it's not a simple church it's a savior and we follow the Lord Jesus Christ and we're followers of him and as we follow him and pursue him he opens up doors for us and he says to us this he says follow me and I will make you fishers of men and so as I follow him and delight myself in him he's saying I am the one who's going to make you into the fisherman so he says follow me and I will make you fishers of men follow me don't pattern yourself after someone else let Jesus Christ fashion you into what he wants you to be here's something if you're a single young man or even a single young woman for that matter this could apply I won't pretend that I had a lot of dates when I was growing up because I didn't I was shy and I didn't ask a lot of girls out but when I did ask somebody out I didn't know how to date I have a clue how to date how do you date so what I did is I did what a lot of young men do I guess I'd asked him would you like to go out and if they said well I'll take a chance I'd say what do you want to do where do you want to go I would get to know them and I would say what kind of food do you like and they'd say whatever it is you know I like grasshoppers on seaweed and I'd say man that sounds good to me whatever you like I like it too kind of music do you like well I like Western music well hot dogs so do I hey I don't like Western music so whatever you were I was I was a chameleon and I was that way all of my young life then one day I realized that's just not real I'm being somebody else and they're gonna eventually find out who I am if they stay with me long enough they'll discover who I am and what I am I can't wear the mask all the time and so by the time I met Marie who became my wife I had made a decision just be yourself so when I would ask Marie to go out I would say where do you want to go I would say I'm going somewhere would you like to go with me if we went somewhere to eat I'd say how much money do you have what do you want to eat I was in the mood for steak go get some more no I'd say where do you want you know I wouldn't say where do you want to go I'd say I'm gonna go get some Italian or I'm gonna do that's what I did and and I figured it like this I figured this if she likes me she's gonna like me she's gonna like the real person this is who I am not the pretend David who's trying to be you know Rico Suave with her I'm gonna be just me she's gonna like me she's gonna like the things about me or just like the real things about me that's how I was and that's how I am what you see is what you get because I just got tired of playing that game where you're trying to be everybody's best friend you're trying to be everybody I don't want to be I just want to be who I am in the Lord and so that's how it was with Marie and guess what that's what I brought into ministry so what I am is what I am I when we started this church I began to praise that Lord you know people are coming from other Calvary ministries and I don't know what they're expecting do they expect me to be like Chuck Smith or do they expect me to be like Greg Laurie or Rall Reese what would they expect me to be and the Lord said I made you unique you are who you are just be yourself just be yourself and that's a key in ministry it really is it's a key in serving the Lord just be who you are how has God worked in you that's real that's real you don't have to talk about what God did in somebody else you know all I heard the story this you don't have to what did God do in you what is God doing in you be yourself be real because somebody once said have you ever wanted to be somebody else well if you've wanted to be somebody else have you ever stopped to think that if you were somebody else and one of you isn't necessary that's true so just be who you are by the grace of God and let the Lord work in you Jesus said I will make you fishers of men don't pattern yourself after someone else let the Lord fashion you into what he wants you to be now something you might miss when you look at this in verse 19 again as when Jesus says follow me and I will make you fishers of men we have a very personalized way of thinking today we think in terms of individuals so we may think as we're reading this that Jesus is speaking to me on a personal level but in reality when he says I will make you he's speaking about Andrew and James John Simon Peter in other words Christianity isn't about the individual Christianity is corporate it's about the body of Christ he's not saying in other words Simon Peter I'm making you and you alone a fisher of men he's not saying that to James or John or Andrew he's saying that to them and so that word is a word that goes out to all of us ministry is a team effort you have a baseball team or a football team a basketball team but what we have today is we have taken the idea of team and we've lost it and so when we talk about the Lakers you don't just say losers when we talk about the Lakers we think Kobe Bryant and the losers Kobe Bryant I thought Kobe was on a team I thought there were five men on that team on that court at that time but Kobe by himself and see what happens well it won't change an awful lot will it they'll lose baseball all we talk about that picture that picture can throw 105 miles an hour but if you don't have a catcher you're gonna be hurting that that umpire a lot you need a catcher you know look at anything that requires team anything and instead of us lifting up one individual there's only one we should lift don't you think and that's Jesus Christ he's the one who should be lifted the rest of us are just part of the group that's what we are and each of us have an individual ministry that God blesses but we need each other we connect and we have to and so when he's speaking concerning ministry be careful not to elevate one person into superstardom because in the elevation of one is the bringing down of somebody else we all are in this together and we work together what do they do well they immediately leave their nets and they follow him now I'm gonna give you a couple of things more because in verses 21 and 22 you see him calling James and John and I want to show you a couple things there but I really want to spend time looking at the word mending with you and that's how we're going to conclude our study today because it says in verse 21 going on from there he saw two other brothers James the son of Zebedee and John his brother in the boat with Zebedee their father mending their nets and he called them and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him now notice with me these were men that were mending their nets so Christianity is not simply an evangelistic effort alone go into all the world and preach the gospel to all living creatures all men yes that's what we're called to do and I want to develop this with you for a minute Christianity is is a message of God of salvation we are called by God to take it out to the world but what is God doing in that message God is reaching into lives and mending them mending people is part of ministry and sometimes what happens in churches is we can get so caught up trying to fill the pews that we leave the pews filled with empty people they're there their bodies are there we've gone through all of our programs to get them in there but they're still empty because Christianity is more than simply reaching out it is actually reaching out touching and bringing healing to lives mending people as part of ministry in Luke chapter 4 verses 18 through 21 Jesus said the spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor he has sent me to heal the brokenhearted to proclaim liberty to the captives recovery of sight to the blind to set it liberty those who are oppressed to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord he closed the book gave it back to the attendant sat down the eyes of all who are in the synagogue were fixed on him he began to say to them today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing to heal the brokenhearted when Jesus says that the spirit of the Lord was upon him to heal the brokenhearted the words brokenhearted speaks of the crushed the crippled or the wrecked people in the world Jesus Christ came to mend that which was broken to mend when it speaks here of mending their nets that word mend it means to repair or to complete to to repair what was broken or torn ethically it means to strengthen or to complete to make a person what they ought to be he has given some to be apostles prophets evangelists pastors and teachers for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry the word equipping in Ephesians 4 11 and 12 for the equipping of the saints the word equipping is the same word that is translated mending for the mending of the saints why are you supposed to bring a word that brings mending because that's what needs the gospel broken crushed wrecked lives it's not just going out with your Bible street witnessing their door-to-door witnessing and then chalking up one more sinner coming to faith and then bragging about bringing him to faith in Christ it's bringing him a message that heals a broken heart that's what the gospel does it heals the broken Jesus came to mend and that's what he does Jesus goes to the city of Capernaum he enters into a synagogue in that synagogue is a demonized man and Jesus delivers him later Jesus visits Simon Peter's house Simon Peter's mother-in-law is is ill Jesus heals her later on in his ministry a leper approaches him moved by compassion Jesus cleanses him later he encounters a blind man by the name of Bartimaeus on the side of a road Jesus was walking and and I call it the Christian parade was lined up with him and as Jesus is walking and people are jostling for attention listening carefully as he's walking the they pass by a man his name is Bartimaeus Bartimaeus hears the commotion he says what's going on and somebody says Jesus of Nazareth is passing by and he begins to cry out loudly he says Jesus son of David have mercy on me and people who hear this Bartimaeus begin to cry they they turn to him the scripture makes it clear they say to him be quiet don't bother the master but he cries out all the more Jesus son of David have mercy on me and Jesus stops and as he stops the parade stops and he turns bring him to me he casts away everything and he gets up in your finds his way to Christ what would you have me to do for you Lord that I might receive my sight let it be done according to your faith from that moment he receives the sight that's what Jesus does in the midst of the jostling crowd the commotion the people walking by admiring him his ear was open to the cry of a blind man on the side of the road that other people were saying to be silenced a woman is brought to Jesus the religious leaders had been looking for an opportunity they wanted to find an accusation against Christ and they knew that they could find it with this woman because this woman was well known for her immorality her infidelities and so they grab her and they bring her to Jesus as Jesus is ministering and they cast her at his feet and they say this woman was caught in adultery in the very act and Moses in his loss says that such should be stoned but we're asking you what should we do and they can see all these people there are watching Christ as he's ministering what is he going to do Bible tells us very clearly what he does it's down in your rights doesn't tell us what he writes it's the only time in Scripture that you find Jesus actually writing anything he writes and he stands up again which one of you is without sin I'll let the first one without sin let him be the first one to cast a stone that's how he dealt with it from the oldest to the youngest they melt away out of shame because not a single perfect person was standing there woman where your accusers do you have none because he knew that without an accusation then Moses's law would not be able to be fulfilled as a pertain to that particular sin where your accusers do you have none she's none Lord neither do I accuse you go and sin no more need to give her permission to go back into adultery no he said go and sin no more he didn't give her an excuse to remain immoral he set her free from immorality that's what he does Jesus is at a dinner party Simon the Pharisees invited him Jesus is seated there next to Simon when a woman comes in she stands there looking around finally her eyes find Jesus and she goes to him and as she comes she begins to weep she begins to weep uncontrollably and the tears begin to flood from her eyes to her chin begin to drip onto his feet as she's standing over him she becomes aware of the fact that her tears have landed on his feet she bends down undoes her hair dries his feet as she's holding his feet and her hand she begins to kiss his feet Simon's looking this Pharisee this man were truly a prophet he'd know who in what manner a woman this is that is touching him Jesus sinner Simon I have something to say to you I'll say on Jesus speaks about two men who owed a great sum and won a lesser sum to the same lender and he says the one who had the money owed to him completely forgave both of them I want to ask you a question Simon which one is going to love him the most and Simon says well I suppose the one who was forgiven the most and Jesus made it very clear he said you didn't even give me the customary greetings of a kiss oil of any sort washing my feet into any of that this woman here did all of that the things that you left undone she has done and you want to know why because as great as a sinner she is as great of a sinner as she is she also loves much because the one who's been forgiven much that same loves a much loves much beloved disciples speak into Jesus on one occasion says though all forsake you I never will I would die for you would you really Simon I'm saying to you before the rooster crow is twice tonight you will deny me three times I would never do that I would even die for you Simon Simon Satanist desired you he's prayed for you he's obtained you that he may sift you even as wheat is sifted but I have prayed for you that your strength does not fail and after you've been converted strengthen your brethren what did Simon do he denied the Lord three times this broken man what did Jesus do Jesus makes a special trip to Simon to ask him a question do you love me do you love me do you love me you know I do feed my lands tend to sheep I restore you that's the Savior that we should that's the Savior that we worship gracious loving kind and forgiving men's the nets immense the nets the broken net he repairs the gospel is intended to mend nets the broken lives if I were to ask people if I said close your eyes which I won't do but if I were to say close your eyes ladies how many of you have been hurt by a man little boys how many of you have been abused how many of you have been beaten how many of you were abandoned how many of you remember a Christmas when a father said I'll be there and he never showed up how many of you have been under that seen that Christmas tree with nothing under you didn't even have the tree you just had nothing many of you how many of you had a mother who said I love you but beat you how many of you have been hurt broken mangled torn up discarded left on the side of the road all of us to one degree or another have been hurt all of us and Jesus came to heal the broken hearted that's what the gospel does that's what it does and that's the message of the gospel that's what God calls us to we haven't been called to be the world's judges we've been called to save them from judgment one of the things about the word saved that you may not know it's like when you read John 3 16 17 God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that who so ever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life for God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through him might be saved that word saved so it's a Greek word that means brought to health or healed or made complete salvation is about making you complete about healing that brokenness in your life God can do that God can give you a new mind it can give you a new spirit he can take you even if you've been very immoral and make you as pure as a virgin he can wash you and cleanse you and make you new he does it through the power of the gospel and these men were to send he was sending them out he says you are becoming fishers of men you will catch them alive and set them free he wasn't saying you're gonna catch him and they're gonna die and you're gonna eat them he's saying you're gonna catch them alive and you will set them free that's what you're gonna do leave your daddy behind leave your business behind you're following me and you will find a thrill in your life by following me a thrill that you would never have had in your business a thrill that you'd never have in any other way you will be thrilled to the end of your life as you follow me bringing this message of healing the Bible says the law of the Lord is perfect converting the soul that word convert means to restore or to heal it's the word of God that heals the soul so we have been mended and as we are mended we go forth to share his great love with others that they too might be mended all we are are beggars who know where there's a good place that has a free meal and we're inviting our friends to it so you can have that meal along with me the meal that's been provided by God himself all you need to do is ask God forgive me me I have that and he'll say it's prepared for you come it's yours
