Hello everybody, E here. Welcome back to another episode of 31 Days of Halloween. Today, we are talking about the Halloween Tree movie, but first a word from our sponsor. A Gathering on the Mountain is a short story by Cindy O'Quinn. The story can be found in The Bad Book, edited by John F. B. Taff and published by Bleeding Edge Books. Cindy's story is about Hobeth Freeborn, a girl born and raised in the mountains of West Virginia. She was left with an Appalachian granny to learn the old ways of surviving. One of the things learned is what actually goes on during a Gathering. Based on the book by Ray Bradbury, he also, I believe, produced and wrote this movie. He also does narration for this movie that is so, so good. For those of you interested in the TLDW too long didn't watch, I absolutely love this movie. There's so much nostalgia. The animation and the artwork is absolutely fantastic, especially the opening sequences of the movie. Huge fan of all of the artwork, the depiction of the Halloween Tree itself, the clouds. Just everything is fantastic. It is done by the same studio that did Scooby-Doo and I believe the Flintstones. I'm only laughing because it looks more like Scooby-Doo than it does the Flintstones. But it's Hannah Barbera Productions. Mario Peluso, I believe, is the name of the director. This is an absolutely fantastic adaptation. I am conflicted about one choice that they made to change and it probably has to do with the time frame that it came out. In the book, all of the kids, I think there's six or seven of them, maybe including or maybe not including Pipkin, every single one of them are boys. I appreciate that they changed one of the characters to a girl for the show and cut out a lot of the characters. I don't appreciate that, but they cut out a lot of the characters, cut them in half, I believe, because there's only four kids in this one. But where I'm conflicted is they changed the boy who dresses as a witch to a girl who dresses as the witch. I'm perfectly fine with the inclusion of a female character, but why can't a boy be a witch? I can only imagine that's more the reason why they changed it back then because people didn't want to explain to their kids or they didn't want their boys dressing up as witches. I don't know. This movie holds so much nostalgia for me, so I might be a little bit biased. Another thing that I'll add is the book is to me what a Christmas Carol is to Christmas. It catches all the right vibes. On top of that, it is super educational. They go to Egypt, they go to the witch trials, they go to the, well not really witch trials, but how witches were treated back in the day. They go to Mexico, they go all over the place and it teaches a lot about the history of Halloween and how different cultures respect the holiday or what they do for the holiday. I learned so much about Halloween just by reading the book and the show captures all the aspects that I loved about the book. Now it is free on Tubi if you want to watch it. We just got through live streaming, me watching it on Sunday. Unfortunately the internet dropped out in the last 10 minutes, but the ending is very special I feel. Especially because it deals with friendship and what you're willing to do for people that you consider that you love, the things that you're willing to do. I don't want to spoil it for you, but the ending of the book and the movie is super great. This is, but it is in 4x3, I was getting to that point, so if you're one of those people who can only stand to watch things in widescreen, it is in like old television ratio. There's not too much else to say about this, but I highly recommend it, especially since it is free on Tubi. You don't even need an account, you can just click skip and go directly to the movie to watch it. It does have ads, but it's whatever, YouTube has ads. I would love to hear from you guys, especially people who liked it. What did you like about it? The same as me, does it give you that atumnal fall feeling? Does it get you ready for Halloween? We tend to try and read the book every single year. The kids have kind of grown tired of it, so we've switched over to the movie and the audio book. But I used to read it to them when they were little, and I always end up reading it. I don't want to do another review, I've already done one review on the channel, but I always read it this time of year. It's very quick, it's poetic, the prose, it's absolutely gorgeous to read. One criticism I do hear a lot is that it's a little too simple for some people, and I think that's just because the poetic nature of it. Also, people want, especially horror fans, want a little more scary, a little more horror, that kind of thing. But if you're looking for something to watch with your kids this Halloween season, if you're looking for something to take you back to your own childhood, I highly recommend the Halloween tree. But have you watched the movie version especially? Did you love it? Did you hate it? Did you feel mad about it? If you felt any of those things, let me know down there in the comments below. But please, if you especially love this movie, tell me what you love about it down there in the doobly-doo. But until next time, I have been E, you have been U, this has been another episode of 31 Days of Halloween. I'll talk to you guys later. Bye-bye!


James Slamming, Precinct 3, Article Proponent. Let's start with a question. What is a parking minimum? It's the minimum amount of parking you have to have if you want to have a building in Arlington. You can build more if you want, but you can't build less. There are minimums for almost every kind of building in town. For example, this is a single-family home. Single-family homes are required to build at least one parking space. This home looks like it has two, so they're okay. Two is greater than one. However, they couldn't tear the driveway up and not have a parking space, because zero is less than one. This is a section of the zoning by-law, which dictates the minimum parking requirements for residential uses. As we just saw, single families are required to build one space per unit, as are two and three families. However, apartments are required to provide a different number of spaces per number of bedrooms, usually greater than one parking space per unit. This is data from the American Community Survey, which is conducted by the Census, and which helps local officials, community leaders, and businesses understand the changes taking place in their communities. This chart shows the number of cars per renting household in Arlington as of 2020. For the purposes of this presentation, note that four in five households had one or fewer cars, and one in five had no car at all. This proposal would change the parking minimum for apartments such that apartments are required to only build one space per unit. This brings them in line with other types of housing in town. Note that an individual apartment can still have two spaces, even if an average of one space per unit is built, and that public housing for the elderly is not affected by these changes. We have evidence that builders are willing to provide one or fewer spaces per unit. A proposed development in East Arlington in 2021 had about one half space per unit, and the development currently being built kitty corner to the high school originally proposed one space per unit. This is the reason that I'm so interested in this. Unneeded parking wastes land that could be put to better use. By way of example, this is an apartment building at the end of Oxford Street just before Broadway. According to town property records, it has about 10,000 square feet of apartments and about 4,300 square feet of parking. The building is valued at $1.3 million and the parking lot at $6,800. The parking space is 40% of the living space, but is valued at less than 1% as much. Think about that. Living space is worth 80 times as much as parking, so it also pays 80 times the tax revenue. From a money perspective, parking is almost like empty land. By requiring more parking than needed, instead of allowing it to be used for something else like another apartment, the town is leaving tax revenue on the table. Unneeded parking also costs residents money. Depending on conditions, a single space can cost between $5,000 and $12,000 in the Boston area and a whole lot more if basement parking is required. If an owner wants one space per unit, but is forced to build more, the rents must be higher to cover the cost. Someone has to pay for it. You might ask about guest parking. The town allows 14 nights of on-street overnight parking for guests in front of the host's apartment, which strikes a balance between flexibility for residents and enforcing the overnight parking ban. What about handicap parking? These are two excerpts from the Massachusetts Architectural Access Board regulations, which governs handicap parking. In Massachusetts, if you move into an apartment building and you need an accessible parking space, the building owner must provide one for you. If they do not have enough because they only built the minimum, they must find a way to provide you with one. In short, if you need an accessible space, you're going to get one. In summary, minimum parking requirements for apartments would be reduced so that only one space per unit would be required. You should support this because the majority of renters don't need more than one parking space, and excess parking deprives the town of tax revenue. Thank you.


Hi everyone, my name is Tetsu Iwata and I will present our work on iterative block ciphers from twinkable block ciphers with long twigs. This is a joint work with Ryota Nakamichi. A block cipher E is a mapping from a key space and an n-bit space into an n-bit space and n is called the block length. We will write this as nbc and if we fix a key k, then ek is a permutation of n-bits. Construction of a secure and efficient block cipher is one of the most important problems in symmetric key crypto, and in this work we continue studying this problem. More precisely, we are interested in the plububly secure construction. A standard security notion is the strong pseudo random permutation notion, or SPRP notion. In the real world, the adversary has access to the encryption oracle and decryption oracle of a block cipher. And in the ideal world, the adversary has access to a random permutation pi at its inverse permutation. The goal of the adversary is to distinguish the two cases and we measure the success probability with this advantage function. Ruby and Rakov showed that for round-fice of cipher with n-bit pseudo random functions is a strong pseudo random permutation. This shows two round-fice of cipher and they showed that for any adversary that makes key glories, the advantage is at most key squared divided by two to the n. This is called a bursty bound with respect to the input and output lengths of the underlying primitive. This bound requires q to be smaller than two to the n over two, and it is natural to ask if there was a construction with a better security belt. And beyond bursty bound secure construction refers to a block cipher that remains secure, even if the number of queries is greater than two to the n over two. Previous analysis showed that if we increase the number of rounds in fice of cipher, then the construction has beyond bursty bound security. A different approach of using trickable block cipher as a building block to construct a block cipher was initiated by Minemats. Trickable block ciphers are generalization of block ciphers and they take an additional input code at week. So a tbc tilde e has a trick space t and if t is a tbit space, then t is the trick length. And we will write this as mt tbc. If we fix a key k under trick t, then this becomes a permutation over n bits. tbcs are useful as they can be used to obtain encryption schemes, max and authenticated encryption schemes. There are many constructions of a tbc based on block ciphers, including lrw1 and lrw2 constructions and xcx construction. As Minemats did, we consider the opposite direction of constructing block ciphers from trickable block ciphers. This makes sense as there are a number of recent proposals of tbcs as a primitive and some of them are listed here and we can obtain a block cipher with a large block length. There are several block cipher constructions from tbcs. Minemats in 2009 constructed two nbc from nn tbcs and universal hash functions. In 2010, Koron et al constructed two nbc from nn tbcs only. And in 2015, Minemats constructed the nbc from nn tbcs, where d is tau plus one and tau is at least one. In this work, we focus on iterative constructions of block ciphers, namely we focus on fixed input length key permutation and we do not consider valuable input length constructions. Also, we only consider the case that the block lengths of the obtained block cipher is a multiple of n bits. This shows the construction by Koron et al. This is two nbc and it uses nn tbcs, where tailed PI is the key tbc. They showed that with two rounds, it has birthday bound security and with three rounds it has beyond birthday bound security. I'd like to remark that they also considered the domain extender for the ideal cipher and presented the analysis in terms of indifferenceability setting in the ideal cipher model. They also considered a more general setting of constructing trickable block ciphers rather than block ciphers. This shows Minemats' construction. It is dnbc and uses n tau ntbc. Where d is tau plus one and tau is at least one. So it uses a tbc with long tricks and this figure shows the case where the trick lengths is two n bits, which gives three nbc. The middle part has d rounds and g1 and g2 are keyed permutations that satisfy certain combinatorial requirements. They can be non-cryptographic permutations like pairwise independent permutations or they can also be cryptographic permutations and d rounds can be used. Namely we have d rounds in the middle and we can use d rounds as g1 and g2 can also be the d round construction. So we have d rounds here, d rounds in the middle and d rounds here. So this gives us three d round construction in total. Minemats proved that the construction is secure if we use good g1 and g2. This table shows the summary so far. And in this work we have three results. In theorem one, we show that the security remains the same even if we reduce the number of rounds by two from Minemats' construction. In theorem two, this l is a parameter between one and d minus one. And this shows that if the number of queries is at most two to the n, then beyond birthday bound security is achieved as lowest d plus one rounds when l equals one. And the security exponentially improves by adding rounds up to two d minus one rounds. In theorem three, it shows the birthday bound security with d rounds and there is a matching attack. So this bound is tight. Let me illustrate the implication with practical parameters. Assume that we use skinny with 128 bit blocks, 256 bit tricks, and 128 bit keys, or 384 bit tricky. With r rounds and assume that it is perfectly secure. Then we obtain 384 BC with 128 times r bit keys. If r is nine, then Minemats' shows this bound. And theorem one shows that the bound remains the same with seven rounds. The theorem two shows that if we have the same security bound with five rounds, provide that q is at most two to the 128. The theorem two also shows that with four rounds, this still has beyond birthday bound security. And theorem three shows birthday bound security with three rounds. We use Pattern's coefficient edge technique and its refinement by Tien and Steinberg in our security proofs. What we do is to partition all the transcripts that have non-zero probability in the ideal world into good transcripts and bad transcripts. Then we derive epsilon one from the ratio of the interpolation probabilities and epsilon two from the upper bounds of the probability to have a bad transcript in the ideal world. Then we retain the upper bounds of the advantage function. So let's look at theorem one and when D is three, we consider seven rounds. We have the first two rounds here, the next three rounds here, and the last two rounds here. We have S one, S two, S three, and S four, and these are internal variables. In the real world, we just compute the answer for a query following this figure, but we also leave these S one through S four to the adversary after making all the queries. In the ideal world, we use pi and its English to answer a query. So for encryption query, we use pi to compute a ciphertext and for decryption query, we use the English of pi to compute a plaintext. To generate S one through S four, we prepare dummy to a couple block ciphers. S one and S two are computed by using tilde P one and tilde P two, just as in the real world. And we compute S three and S four by using tilde P six and tilde P seven. In the ideal world, we define that transcript is best if S one, S two, S three, collides with the previous values of S one, S two, S three. Or if F two, F three, F four collides. These collisions cannot happen in the real world because this corresponds to these states and this corresponds to these states. And since the construction is a permutation, we cannot have a collision. However, these collisions can happen in the ideal world. And we see that the bat event involves randomness of three and bits. In general case, we have these two D minus two internal variables. And we define that the transcript is best if we have one of these D minus one collisions. The bat event involves randomness of D and bits. And so we can show that the probability is at most this one. Where two to the DN uses the fact that we have randomness of DN bits. We can also derive the lower bounds on the ratio between the interpolation probabilities if the transcript is not bad. And we have this final bound from the coefficient H technique. Now let's do theorem two, when D equals three and L equals one. Then we have this four round construction and S one is the only internal variable. In the ideal world, we can put S one with dummy till P one, if the ice query is an encryption query. And with dummy till P four, if the ice query is a decryption query. So we switch the way to compute S one depending on the direction of the query. In the ideal world, we define that the transcript is bad if we have one of these three collisions. This one corresponds to the states and this one corresponds to here and this one corresponds to here. We can check that this one is impossible if the ice query is an encryption query. And we can also check that the back event involves randomness of two and bits. In the general case, I will not describe the details, but the back event involves randomness of L plus one and bits. With this, we will obtain this by bounds on the probability of a back transcripts where we rely on the conditions. Then we can show the lower bounds on the ratio between the interpolation probabilities and we obtain this bound from the coefficient H technique. Now, theorem three, it shows that we with the equals three, it has plus the bound security with three rounds. In this case, we have the probability of a back transcripts where we rely on the condition that skew is at most two to the N to the right this bound. Then we can show the lower bounds on the ratio between the interpolation probabilities and we obtain this bound from the coefficient H technique. In this case, there is no internal variable and the proof is simpler than other theorems. For the matching attack, we just make encryption queries with distinct M1 and fixed M2 and M3. So we fix M2 and M3 and we have differences in M1. And we see that C1 always takes distinct values in the real world, but it can collide in the ideal world. So there is a simple birthday attack. Now, let me conclude this presentation. We studied the security of the iterative block-cypher constructions that use twiccable block ciphers with long twigs and showed these three results. As open questions, we do not know if the condition on the number of queries can be removed from theorem two. The tightness of theorems one and two is open, and we think generalization to a ciphering schemes is an interesting question. Finally, the analysis in the differentiability framework would be interesting. And for this problem, we made some progress in this paper that will be presented in this FSC 2020. So please check it, and this is the end of this presentation. Thank you for watching.


We moved on to this place in 1999. We rented it for seven years from the Hollenbeck family, their neighbors, because my dad's place is down the road about 10 miles. Purchased it in 06 from Hollenbeck's. They knew that we would keep running cattle on it. We ran our own cattle separate from my mom and dad's place until 2012, my father passed suddenly from a heart attack. So then we took on both places. My dad said, he said, you know you're prosperous when you got tall grass. And a big funeral. His funeral was huge. In his grass, we're getting the dividends of what he did. He went through the 80s, early 90s, financial. I was young to follow myself to understand what was going on. I understand now somewhat walking in his shoes. If he would have overgrazed, he could have helped himself financially. It's evident. He could have ran more cattle. And he told us, riding the hills with him, he said, I refuse. I absolutely refuse. I'm not going to overgraze this place. This is who I am. And now we can see it in the diversity of the plant life on the ranch that him and mom bought in 1982. Now we need to take it the next step. My family and I are committed. I'm the driver, but they're with me every day. I think there's things we can do. There's places on his ranch that hardly ever got grazed. Again, water. Cattle just didn't move there. I know with the cross fencing and temporary fence and water, we can do a much better job. Utilize that, improve the diversity there. We're also using temporary water, running pipe above ground for moving cattle around. Where we've evolved the most with the help of NRCS and Ryan Beer, and I do have to say Darryl Smith, our neighbor, my mentor, is watching Darryl move his cattle often. I was watching him put up temporary fence. At first, the initial reaction is, what is this guy doing? This looks a little crazy. After visiting with him and working with him a little bit, we have, for the last five years, moved our cattle more. Been very purposeful on where we put our cattle with temporary fence. Water has been our struggle. In the spring of 2013, I started losing calves, baby calves. They'd live three, four days, weak, struggle, pulled liver samples. I got to started working with a guy named Dr. Blaine Hopfauf out of Mandan, nutritionist, veterinarian. We started testing all our water, and we were super high on sulfates out of our artesian and our dams. And since the spring of 2013, we test water all the time. We found out our dams are high on sulfates. I guess talk about their artesian wells. There's one here on our place that we purchased from Hollenbecks. One of my dad's place, they both went bad. Bad meaning reduced flow. Dad's, I'm sure, was over 50 gallons a minute. It's down to 11. This well on this place was better than 30 gallons a minute. It's down to five. And the sulfates have gone from, we tested them in 06. We had 600 parts per million sulfates, and now they're over 2500. So we had to really start thinking about how do we handle this? How do we handle sulfates? It's hard on breed up. It's hard on immune system. Again, Daryl Smith, I say enough about him. He allowed us to hook into a system that pulls water out of the Missouri River. And things turned around. We saw cattle gain better. Our health on our cattle improved immensely. So we've started putting in pipelines. Again, NRCS helped us with Equip on this place out of Corson County. Any more, it's pretty rare our cows are drinking out of dams on this place. It's water out of the Lake Oahee. I don't know what we would do without it. We were at a loss. I won't say a number, but it's a little bit beyond my comprehension that Eli was responsible for all of our livestock for six weeks. I didn't see him. Real life experience, you know, I work in a school system. I can't create that for a student in a school system, what they learn here. Our daughter Sylvia is a little bit younger. She's doing the same thing. Usually it's my dad's call, but I understand when they need to move. I notice when the grass, it's when it's time to move them. And we'll discuss it and then make a plan. Some of the things I do here on the ranch are just the day-to-day stuff with my dad and then the taking care of animals just around the yard. Moving fences, moving cows. When he feels like he's managing things and doing things in a way that fits well with what he wants to do and fits well just with nature and taking care of the land, he's a lot happier, a lot less stressed out and then that definitely carries over to the whole family. I can see the results. I can see what's going on. I don't want to be the first guy out. I want to be the early adapter on these practices. It's exciting. We keep moving in a new direction.


Ethnic tensions among Russian military threaten their defences. Ethnic tensions between Ossetians and the Russian military are causing a rift in Russia's 42nd Guards' Motorized Rifle Regiment that is defending against a Ukrainian counter-offensive in Zaporizia Oblast. UK-based Institute for the Study of War ISW reported this. ISW reported that Asen Temiraev, a conscript from the Republic of North Ossetia, Alania, who served in the 70th Guards' Motorized Rifle Regiment, posted a video on the 25th of September claiming that Russian soldiers from the 70th Regiment had battered Temiraev and two other soldiers from the 71st Guards' Motorized Rifle Regiment. Temiraev noted that the military police asked him about his ethnicity and said, Russia is for Russians. The injured Russian soldier also mentioned that the military police beat him and other soldiers because a local resident of the city of Tokmak in Zaporizia Oblast reported that the soldiers had sexually abused children. Temiraev himself denied committing the crime. Temiraev lamented that he thought that Nazis were on the other Ukrainian side but it turns out the Nazis are among us. Military analysts believe inter-ethnic tensions between Russian units operating on the front line and in the rear of Zaporizia Oblast may threaten the integrity of Russian defences and unit cohesion amid recent Ukrainian gains in the area.


Christmas San indeed for the last couple of months, making a huge impression. We're delighted to have them into the studio, they're gonna kick us off with their hit single the way I am, it's the Tumbling Patties. Oh. Stars, as I'm last to leave the bar, spend the weekends over drinking, Mondays over the day, it's just the way I am. And that has been for them over the last couple of months, great to have yous and lads and I know yous were in Tullamore last night as yous are probably wrecked Gareth, are yous? Oh, not too bad, David. Thanks for having us in, don't you? Yes, we're still motoring yet. Still motoring, I, we're home at 3 o'clock last night. I'm sure you'd have plenty of sleep once you thought it would be wrong with yous. So the Tumbling Patties, we have Gareth, Marty, John, Lee and Oshin, the five of yous together collectively known as the Tumbling Patties, yous have been out in the road now. How long's the band been together? We've been together about five years now and just before Coven all you're just starting to go well, we had a song out Pretty Girl. Yeah. We were just starting to make great waves the next thing, bang. And as opposed to a lot of people say, oh, it's that new band, the Tumbling Patties and geez, they were an overnight success, but people don't actually know that yous were together for five years and you know, working hard behind the scenes and I remember your manager coming in here a few times with your first singles and trying to promote yous and it's great to see yous now finally getting that break and that song that we've just heard there, The Way I Am, it was class song that's going down well at all the gigs, isn't it? It's going down great at gigs, thank God. Yeah, you'll be glad of it now, pure dog work, like put in over the years and stuff carrying speakers in and out of venues and stuff. So it's great to start finally seeing results. I know, but at the same time yous have been seeing results but yous are still sort of keeping your feet firmly on the ground. Yous are going to have to put up road signs after this, you know. It's not really the kind of rock star lifestyle where yous pull up in the bus and there's a wee man called John who puts up the signs for yous. Yous are still out there doing that yourself, so fair play. I have to put the hard work into it, you know. And how did the band actually come to be? Like how did it all start off? Kind of started off from, we got to know each other from music sessions and stuff, the trad scene and then Martin now was asked to do a wedding, a friend of his or something. It's all your fault, Marty. And he gathered up me and Lee and Kieran at first and then we kind of started playing together and then it was luck of how we'd been seen if we gathered here. Kind of just went from that, you know. Yeah, and it's been going from strength to strength. Yous are in the pulse tonight? Pulse, Lederkenny tonight, yeah. It's pay at the door, so if anyone's about Lederkenny, come on ahead in. So 2023 is going to be a big year. What's in store for us? And what's in store for the Tumbling Patties in 2023? Next year is a big year for us. We released our debut album there back in September. So this year hopefully we're aiming for a live album early 2023 and just hopefully just the gigs, there's plenty of gigs coming in and we're trying to get all around the country. There's still a lot of the country we haven't even got to. So we're trying to get into the new country. You're barred out of a few counties, Marty was saying. We're not too sure why, but we do know it's for some reason but maybe we shouldn't say it on air just in case we do get into trouble. Anyway, tell us why you are barred out of Kilkenny. LAUGHTER Actually, no, the Tumbling Patties, I wasn't even playing. Let me smack you in the one night. We're not going to sing on that night. Well, you know, if the one night's good. All right, listen lads, fair play to you, but now you guys, I don't want to be too sore on you but John was saying that you don't carry any gear as well, is that true? I carried it off over the years. The arms are sore from carrying the rest of the lads. There you go. Listen lads, yous are absolutely flying it out there and know that yous are heading down to the Pulse to set up so we don't want to keep yous too much longer but thanks a million for dropping in to see us and we want to wish yous a very merry Christmas and all the very best in 2023. There's plenty of people texting in here to say best wishes to you and that they love your music. You're in the Pulse tonight, you can come along, pay at the door. What time are you hitting the stage tonight? I think we're hitting the stage at 12 o'clock tonight so the doors are open at 11 so trying it in early was going to be a massive night. And if you see people looking suspicious or getting in trouble, don't be ringing the guards. It's only the Tumbling Patties putting up... Putting out the road sign so don't panic. Glad you used my place out with the song, will you? We will indeed. We're going to do one from the water rise. This is called Fisherman's Blues and thanks very much for having us, David. You're a great support to us so thanks so much for having us. Here's the Tumbling Patties. Well, I wish I was a Fisherman on the seas. It's a better casting out my sweet line. Coming in to see us, happy Christmas. Go and see them, they're in the Pulse tonight. That's the Tumbling Patties.


Today on the show we're gonna be taking a look at from the vintage 1989 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toyline, PANDACON. Stay tuned my friends. Hey guys welcome back to Comic NTV the only place on YouTube where all geek culture collides if you're new to the channel don't forget to hit that subscribe button so you don't miss out on future videos. From Playmates Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1990 series toyline we have PANDACON. Alright so PANDACON never showed up in the animated series. He was one of those characters that only showed up in the I believe he only showed up in the cart or in the comic book. I think he came from the same world as Usagi Ojima but I could be wrong but I always liked this figure just a really cool design. Again I really like the Samurai Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle figures. I just really like the design of all their armor. It just it looks really amazing. Really like it. Of course one of the first things other than the weapons to get lost were usually the shoulder and thigh pads. They did oftentimes either break off or pop out and end up getting lost. Also a lot of times the tails on the bandanas would break off as well. The paint on this guy isn't too bad. I'm not sure if that spot on his nose is from where or if he was designed like that to make it look like a shiny nose. I can't remember. It's been a long time. I found this guy at Primary Colors Retro Relics in Lincoln Illinois. Same place I got my sewer Samurai Leonardo. PANDACON was always one of my favorite Ninja Turtles toys growing up and I saw him complete in a baggie with his accessories so I went ahead and bought him. Mick over there is great. He prices things out great fantastically. He couldn't be making more money off them but he just loves, loves dealing with collectors and they're not so overpriced that regular kids can't buy them and take them home and play with them either. They're actually priced pretty close to what their original price value was way back in the 90s and late 80s. As you can see very bright blue on his armor. Gold chainmail. Green pads on the side of his armor. Then he's got the green pants with blue pads. Red gauntlets and shin guards. Very nice figure. Now let's go ahead and take a look at PANDACON's weapons. First things first is his battle axe which he can be seen on the package. Getting ready to attack Shredder with. Very nice. You line it up just right there. The holes actually line up with his eyes. Which is pretty cool. I never really noticed before. They didn't, they didn't skimp on the detail either. You got wood grain on the handle. You got, you got the blacksmith marks on the inner part of the battle axe on both sides. Very nice. One problem with Ninja Turtles weapons is they usually warped very easily over time. Even just sitting in the package. They warped easily. Up next is, I can't remember what exactly this is called. I always thought it was kind of cool. Got kind of a knuckle guard there which can be used to defend against blade attacks as well. Or cut opponents with. Then you got this blade here with a hook on the end. Very nice. Again they did not skimp on the detail. You got the cloth wrapped around the handle there. Very nice. Then here you've got the sword. Kind of generic looking. I can't remember if this is the same style sword as Leonardo's or not. I think his was a little bit straighter. But I could be wrong. Then you got the cloth around the handle and you can see where it was disconnected from the little thing that they came attached to. They usually came attached together.  Sheldon together. And these fit in his hands pretty decently. There's one put his sword in the other hand. I'm not sure why his finger is sticking out like that. I want you on Apollo Creed. I want you pump. I want you.  Real nice. Even this one it's pretty tight. I'm not bad. I just wish he would have came with something to be able to put his sword into or one of his other weapons into since you know he can't hold all three at once.  That's how it gets lost. I think we'll go ahead and display them like that from now on. At least for a while anyway. So there you have it guys from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1990 Playmates Toys toyline.

First of all, dog, what's going on? Sure. In my mind, he not beefing with cash money. So I'm confused about why we even leaving the awards and the awards just started, like this just started. Like hold up, hold up, because let me get the record. Let me record reflect. So when we when we finally they get up, baby, get up, slim, get up, they walk in.  Say we came in limo's together. Taxi.

When everybody got the back to the hotel. Listen, whether we, whether we came on a tour bus is what we all came together.  Is we beefing with these n****s? So you ran and you were scared based off of illusion or you wasn't sure? I wasn't scared. I knew I was getting out of there. I need to know. I'm trying to inquire about this. Because I need to know what's really going on. Hold on. Hold on. Okay. Hold on. Let me just say this. You had a stadium, right? Kiss. And you look up and you see the whole month stadium running this way. The f*** you going to do, kiss? I'm getting up and running that way. Okay.   But you ain't going to stand around the f***ing way. That's a fact. I didn't know we, I didn't think we was beefing with f***ing death row. But when the n****s dived in that cab like it was a pool. Tush. I heard the n**** say go! Did the call for the... Go! I heard the n**** say go! Go!  It hit my f***ing door. Boom boom boom. Go, go! Fly! It was a yo-ho. No, I don't want to tell them don't say no tough s*** to me ever again. No. Don't try to chop me again, man. Because I'm not going for it. I'm not going to say that. Hold on, you wanna know how real it is? Years later, she'll call me. Then I was like, what's up, Gillian? I'm like, what's up, dawg?  You wanna go get that? Let's go get that.    God, one thing I ain't never said was no n***a's owe me no money. What type of n***a would I be? N***a's owe me some money, f*** you talking about me? Yeah.


Our sermon title this morning is my Lord and my God my Lord and my God and we are in part 3 as we're working through the gospel of John beginning this morning chapter 1 verses 1 through 5 Where the Bible says in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God He was in the beginning with God all things were made through him and without him Nothing was made that was made And in him was life and the life was the light of men and the light shines in the darkness and the darkness did not comprehend it Jesus Christ according to John's gospel according to the Bible according to the testimony of God through scripture Jesus Christ is God incarnate The theme of John's gospel is to display the incarnate Christ and all the glory and power and Fulness of deity that dwells in him dwells within him He is fully man and yet not considering it robbery to be equal with God And he is fully God and yet making himself of no Reputation to come in the likeness of men and John's emphasis here is on the heavenly Perspective as we've talked about not a word at a place not a word misspoken Not a word without purpose without intention without importance The Holy Spirit as the ultimate author of the gospel of John Inspiring the words of this gospel through the pen of the human author John testifying of his divine Subject the Lord Jesus Christ the author and finisher of our faith John sets about in the task here in the opening verses and throughout the gospel of presenting Jesus Christ the embodiment and expression of the eternal Godhead majestic eternal Omnipotent alone wise incomparable ineffable as the hymnist says matchless Unconquerable Victorious and all in the form of a bond servant coming in the likeness of men and Jesus Christ is seen throughout the gospel of John doing what only God can do It's more testimony of his deity and Genesis 1 it describes the creation And the attributes of creation to the power of God in John chapter 1 verse 3 it says that all things were made through Christ Colossians 1 says that by Christ all things were created Hebrews chapter 1 says that the worlds were made and then the worlds are sustained by Christ Jesus Christ forgives and saves from sin only that which God can do in Psalm chapter 3 verse 8 salvation belongs to the Lord In Isaiah chapter 43 verse 11 Besides God God himself says there is no savior in Titus chapter 3 verse 4 God our Savior saved us according to his mercy yet in light of those passages about God saving in Titus chapter 2 Jesus Christ our great God and Savior gave himself that he might save us in Acts chapter 4 verse 12 There is salvation in no one other than Jesus Christ In Mark chapter 2 in Luke chapter 7 Jesus has power on earth to directly forgive sins It's blasphemy if he is not God in the flesh Jesus Christ is God incarnate in Ephesians chapter 1 We have redemption through his blood Even the forgiveness of sins Paul says in Isaiah chapter 33 verse 22 God is our lawgiver. He's our king He's our judge in Matthew 25 all nations will be gathered together before the judgment of the son of man He calms the sea he controls the weather He reads people's minds. He knows their hearts. He is Lord of lords Very God of very God and yet very man of very man Jesus Christ is called by the names of God in the Bible He is in John 20 my Lord and my God with the definite article the God my Lord and my the God take that Jehovah's Witnesses He is our great God and Savior in Titus 2 and he is our The great God take that Mormons He is the eternally blessed God in Romans chapter 9 He is wonderful counselor mighty God in Isaiah chapter 9 verse 6 He is our God and Savior Jesus Christ in 2nd Peter chapter 1 verse 1 and in the Greek our The God in Psalm 102 verse 24 the psalmist says oh My God do not take me away in Hebrews chapter 1 verses 10 through 12 The author of the book letter to the Hebrews says that that was written of the Sun in Isaiah chapter 44 verse 6 thus says the Lord of hosts I am the first and I am the last besides me. There is no God and Revelation 22 verse 13 Jesus says I am the Alpha and the Omega the beginning and the end the first and the last and Jesus Christ is rightly worshiped in Scripture as God in Matthew chapter 4 Jesus says you shall worship the Lord your God and him only you shall serve and in Matthew 14 When Christ call in the storm the disciples worshiped him saying truly you are the son of God After his resurrection in Matthew chapter 28 the disciples worshiped him Jesus didn't rebuke them Encourage their worship and although men are rebuked for worshiping angels in Hebrews chapter 1 verse 6 Angels are instructed by the father to worship the son And in God who says that he will not share his glory with another Answers the prayer of Jesus Christ the son when he prays in John 17 Glorify me together with yourself with the glory which I had with you before the world was Jesus Christ is expressly stated to be God Jesus is called by the names only used for God Jesus possesses characteristics that only God can possess Jesus does work that only God can do and Jesus is worthy of worship and honor that only God deserves Jesus is my Lord and my God And John wonderfully displays this truth in the opening words of his gospel in Technicolor splendor It's beautiful profound universe shaking truth in words that a child would understand and John picks up this beautiful diamond of who Christ is But it holds it up in the light right and just turns it in the light in front of a black backdrop so that we can see every cut every facet as the light is reflected in that beautiful diamond Just awesome to look at we look at Christ that way here in the Gospel of John and we're reminded by that That Jesus Christ came before a black backdrop John paints a picture of the glories and Perfections and wonders of the person and work of Christ and he paints that picture against the black backdrop of man's depravity He came into the darkness and the darkness did not comprehend it We see how men in the Gospel of John respond To the grace of God in our Lord Jesus Christ and how man in of himself is dead in sins and trespasses He is in darkness. He has a dark heart how literally the God the Godhead Has to do everything in salvation to redeem us if anyone is ever saved It is not by blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God Let that sink in for a moment is if anyone is ever saved ever to be saved It is not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God as we consider that Black darkness through the Gospel of John The diamond of all that Christ is and the diamond of all that Christ has done just shines all the brighter And John writes so that men will simply look at the diamond and believe that believing in Christ You might have life in his name You know what you do with Christ is going to affect your eternal destiny What you decide about Christ how you respond to Christ will affect your eternal destiny And most people reject him out of hand They just throw up a wet blanket over the reality of who Christ is They suppress the truth of him in their unrighteousness and because Christ is God To reject him as anything less than God is blasphemy Many say they believe and by the conduct of their lives They deny him as Paul said the Titus they are lukewarm and as such Christ says that he will vomit them out of their mouth Very few are born again of his spirit and transformed into his image from glory to glory and as Christians We pray that as we look at the Gospel of John and read through these verses that we see Christ face to face that we See and look into that diamond see Christ and that we are transformed into his image We become like him because we see him and one day will become just like him because we'll see him as he is And so last week we began looking at looking at this diamond against this black backdrop and we saw first last week that Those facets of who Jesus Christ is that he is infinite in the beginning was the word that's infinite Induration if you look into eternity future you see Christ there with no end if you turn and look into eternity past You see Christ there with no beginning Christ Transcends time and he is infinite.  This is the glorious truth of the Trinity We saw last week that he was indivisible where the Bible says and the word was God although he is distinct He is Indivisibly God is fully God though Christ is distinct from the father He is indistinguishable from God distinct and yet Indivisibly God he is at the same time God and with God as we come to verse 2 John says in light of that truth it is this one It's that one the one that I'm speaking of the one who is infinite individual and yet Indivisible it is this one who was in the beginning with God The word who is God the word who was with God it is he it's that same one that was in the beginning who is eternal He was in the beginning with God. So it's this week as we consider in verses 3 and 4 now in 5 Examining this diamond. We're gonna see more facets. We're gonna see Christ the word now who is one infinite Two individual three. He is indivisible Today he is also in verses 3 4 and 5 Independent 5 he is incarnate and 6 he is invincible Infinite individual indivisible independent incarnate and invincible We could have a lot more ends that we could add there to describe Christ Fourth point on your notes. He is independent. He was in the beginning with God. Now. What was he doing in the beginning with God? He was making everything. That's right. He was creating Everything that exists in verse 3 was made by Christ So Christ and making everything then stands separate from all of that which is created he himself as uncreated is Independent from creation if he's independent from creation. He is self-existent. He is self-sufficient He's independent of all that is created. We'll see verse Point 5 that he is incarnate Verses 4 and 5 he came into the darkness of this world as the embodiment of life and light That's the purpose for which he was for which he came the purpose for the incarnation was to come into the world as Life and light the life of God the light of God in the flesh the revelation of God in bodily form and Point 6 he is invincible as God in the flesh Christ accomplished all that he came to do and even now Reigns victorious at the right hand of the father as Lord of lords and king of kings The darkness did not and will not overcome him. So let's take a look at verse 3 first Point 4 on your notes. He is Independent the Bible says in verse 3 all things were made through him and without him Nothing was made that was made So he created everything Everything you say Everything everything was created by Christ. There's nothing that exists that Christ didn't create planets Yes galaxies Yes, a universe that if you travel at the speed of light 186,000 miles per second would take you 13 billion years as far as we know to get across Did he create that universe? Yes Sky skyscrapers. Yes, he made sky skyscrapers. He made the stuff that makes skyscrapers He gave us the brain to devise skyscrapers He made the laws of nature the laws of physics that made skyscrapers possible Jesus Christ created everything and there's a positive aspect to this all things that were made were made through Christ And there's a negative aspect to this. There is nothing that he didn't make So John gives both the positive and the negative the angels He made them heaven and hell Yes, he made them time and space Yes, Hebrews 1 said that it is Jesus through whom God made the ages that word there Cats yes, he even made cats You may say to yourself I didn't think that God was the author of evil well when God created cats They were good cats are a result of the fall Cats were good when he made them and one day he's gonna make them good again You may say well, I thought the Bible taught that God made everything Isaiah 42 chapter chapter 42 verse 5 says thus says God the Lord Who created the heavens and stretched them out who spread forth the earth and that which comes from it That of course is true Bible says that God is the Creator and yet God Does all of his creating through the agent of creation Jesus Christ the Son Jesus Christ becomes the agent by which God creates all things and verse 3 says there isn't one thing in Existence that Jesus Christ didn't himself make So what's the point of saying it that way? What's the point of emphasizing in this verse the positive and the negative and going to that trouble so to speak Is to make the point that Christ is not and Cannot be a creature a created being himself John again in verse 1 Establishing the fact that Christ is God in verse 2 Reiterates and repeats verse 1 with a little nuance saying that Christ is God in the flesh as we come to verse 3 and he created everything Everything that has been made has been made by him and there's nothing that exists that hasn't been made by him to say that he is Independent of his creation to say again that Jesus Christ is God He says it in such simple terms that a child could understand it He is there for God in the flesh. He cannot be a creature himself. He cannot be created himself and as Uncreated he is God He is independent from creation. This is the doctrine of God's assayety God's assayety his independence. He needs nothing. He is self sufficient He is self-existent and this again this assayety is an attribute of God and God alone is Independent and each of these as we discuss this about the word keeps pointing back to deity keeps pointing back to the fact that Jesus is God the word was God and Get this if the word was God and yet the word was also The agent through which God did is creating Then the word again in verse 3 also has to be distinct from God the father so even in concept He's repeating verse 1 in verse 3 in one the word was with God and The word was God individual and yet indivisibly God in verse 3 He is God the Creator and yet the agent of creation God created everything through the Son of God He is both God and with God so to speak both Individual and indivisible No matter how you keep looking at it John just keeps pushing you toward the inevitable conclusion We keep coming back to the statement of Thomas in John chapter 20 my Lord and my God Now that being said now if everything was made through Christ and he sustains all things by the word of his power then we as Created are completely dependent upon him He is outside of dependence on anything. He is self-sufficient self-existent. He is independent But we as his creation are dependent upon him for everything if he created us And this sustains all things by his power then in every possible way. We are dependent on Christ We have absolutely no independence and Yet the wretched course of men from their very birth is that we live as if we do we live as if we're independent As if we rule ourselves and are accountable to no one and when the rest of creation the rest of his creation obeys him perfectly We're the ones the pinnacle so to speak of his creation We're the ones who rebel against him who become enemies of his by our wicked works The truth of the Bible is that you are made you are a created being and as such you are Accountable to God your creator for the way in which you live your life You were created for a purpose to glorify God But you rebelled against your Creator as such we have plunged the entire world with our sin ourselves and all the creation Plunged the entire world into futility because of our sin look with me at Romans chapter 8. Let's take a look at that Romans chapter 8 And look down at verse 18 Romans chapter 8 verse 18 everything's been corrupted by our rebellion We are created we owe honor and glory and praise and worship and obedience to our Creator and Yet from our very beginning We have rebelled against God lived for ourselves and acted as if we were independent acted as if we were Self-sufficient and self-existent And as such everything's been ruined since then in verse chapter 8 verse 18 The Bible says for I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory Which shall be revealed in us for the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God For the creation was subjected to futility Not willingly but because of him who subjected it in hope because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of Corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now Not only that but we also have the first fruits of the Spirit even we ourselves Grown within ourselves eagerly waiting for the adoption if you're in Christ you want the adoption You want to be glorified you want to be fully and finally free from sin Verse 24 for we were saved in this hope but hope that is seen is not hope for why does one still hope for what he sees But if we hope for what we do not see we eagerly wait for it with perseverance the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses We don't know how we should pray as we ought but the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings that cannot be uttered Now he who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is because he makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God Even the creation is corrupted by sin corrupted by our rebellion and think about it the creation Loads to give up its air for wicked sinners to breathe it groans under the weight of doing that the creation groans under Giving up its harvest for food for wicked sinners who rebel against God and it groans to be adopted to be recreated to be made anew Our sin corrupted everything our sin is the reason there are weeds Think about it It's the reason there are lawyers It's the reason that we have insect repellent It's the reason that there's chemotherapy our sin is the reason there are such things as Antivenom and psychologists All because of sin everything Christ created everything that Christ created all things that were created through him were created very good He created us as good Everything he created including ourselves. We have corrupted with our sin Think about it as being depraved because of sin. You can't think straight as Being depraved because of sin. You can't reason correctly as being depraved because of sin Your foolish heart is darkened. You are unwise as The result of being corrupted by sin. You can't feel the way the Lord designed you to feel Because you've been corrupted by sin You can't imagine in the way that the Lord created your imagination. You are totally in every faculty You are totally depraved. You are depraved in every piece of you so to speak totally depraved The story of the Bible all points to God's plan For Jesus to purchase it all back and to make it anew Including those that will repent and believe the gospel. He recreates everything you become a new creation in Christ One day fully glorified in Christ It's interesting the Bible says that those who turn from sin and place faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ are his Workmanship and look at this created in Christ Jesus for what? For good works for good works everything we do before Christ are filthy rags But he created us Christ created us in him for the purpose of good works We are his workmanship. So in a world that is corrupted by sin in a world It's dark and men prefer the darkness because their deeds are evil in a world that is dying and passing away Where men are dead in their sins and trespasses in a world where there are cats and lawyers God comes in human flesh and dwells among us. He dwells among us. He is incarnate point five on your notes Christ is incarnate. He came God in the flesh to dwell among us verse 4 says in him was life and The life was the light of men John says he became flesh and dwelt among us the incarnation means that he came in a human body God almighty God the Lord of glory came in a human body wrapped himself in the mud of human flesh Traips through the dirt of this filthy world in Verses four and five the purpose of his incarnation the reason that he came incarnate is to bring life and light The life of God and the light of God So Jesus Christ in the incarnation becomes the embodiment of The life of God and the embodiment of the light of God. He came to bring life and light now First thing I want you to do is tie those comments in verse 4 To the comments that John makes about the creation in verse 3 and you came and you come to the same conclusion just as he was the source of All that has been created Jesus Christ is the source of life Which it's amazing and just simple words how all of this ties together and you can't escape it It is all woven through the fabric here of what is what John is teaching in the prologue that Jesus Christ is God It all connects if he is life Or if he is the creator if he was the source of all that's been created He's the source of life. He came bringing life No one gave life to him He has life within himself. He didn't acquire life from anyone didn't acquire life from anything He is self-sufficient. He is self-existent.  He is independent and he is incarnate He himself is the source of life life exists within himself for that to be the case The conclusion that you have to come to if Jesus Christ is life the source of life then Jesus Christ is God He is independent He is God Second as the creator Jesus Christ is the creator of physical life Mostly represented by the Greek word be us That word the Greek word there is where we get our word biology biological life And this is one form of life Biological life physical life. However, the word that he uses here in verse 4 is not biological life. It's zoe. It's Spiritual life. It's soul life so to speak It pertains more to spiritual life, and it's that life in us that will never die You now are created to live forever and you'll live forever with eternal life with spiritual life Or you'll live forever as an object of spiritual death You'll never die in that way So if you connect the two here you connect the two which is what you have to do You have John speaking of spiritual life then and spiritual light Jesus comes to men who are spiritually dead in their sins, and he comes bringing spiritual life He comes to a world that is spiritually dark where men love the darkness rather than the light He comes to people who have darkened hearts, and he brings spiritual light life and light connected concepts death is The absence of life not necessarily the opposite of life, but the absence of all life in the same way that darkness Not really in the sense the opposite of light darkness is the absence of any light So Jesus Christ comes into a world full of dead people and their sins and trespasses, and he brings spiritual life Comes into a world that is dark a darkened world into a world where you have darkened hearts We have darkened hearts and Christ brings light So Jesus Christ came to bring life to dead men and Jesus Christ came to bring light to darkened hearts This is miraculous power It's miraculous power the fact that Jesus Christ created everything including this universe is miraculous power But the fact that Jesus Christ Became incarnate God in flesh came into this world bringing spiritual life and Spiritual light is even more unfathomable awesome miraculous power To bring dead men to life Awesome power. You know it said there in World War two the atomic bombs that were exploded, right? massive massive explosions And it said that those massive explosions were brought about from the energy within a pea-sized amount of uranium immense unfathomable power in a pea-sized Amount of uranium and that is nothing Nothing compared to the power God in human flesh Incarnate bringing the power of life and the power of light to dead dark men. It is an awesome power God wrapped in human flesh bringing miraculous life so John writes then so that you Understanding that and seeing that and believing that might have that spiritual life yourself You might have life in his name apart from Christ. You need to understand that you are dead in your sin Apart from Christ you are dark and hopelessly in darkness because of your sin.  What's the one thing that a dead man needs? Needs life Needs life a dead man needs life. He can't do anything without life Can a dead man believe? No, he needs life to believe can a dead man repent No, he needs life to repent. Can a dead man follow? Can he trust? Can he obey? Listen if you are not in Christ and if Christ is not giving you a new heart And if you're not and dwelt by his spirit and if you're not because of the work of the grace of God within you Living wholeheartedly for him, then you are in darkness.  What does a dead man do?  He's stinketh That's why Jesus says to Nicodemus Nicodemus. He must be born again Must be born again salvation is of the Lord cry out to the Lord to give you life Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and have life Let God breathe into you the spiritual life that Jesus Christ came into the world to bring That life comes only through Jesus Christ That's why Jesus says in John chapter 5 verse 21 For as the father raises the dead and gives life to them even so the son gives life to whom he will in John chapter 6 verse 35 Jesus says I am the bread of Life he who comes to me shall never hunger he who believes in me shall never thirst in John chapter 8 verse 12 I am the light of the world he who follows me shall not walk in darkness But have the light of life in John chapter 10 verse 10 I have come that they may have life and they may have it more abundantly in John chapter 11 verse 25 I am the resurrection and the life he who believes in me though he may die He shall live in John 14 6. I am the way I am the truth and I am the Life no one comes to the father except through me Christ is the only source of life Without Christ the source of life. You will die You'll die in your sins and this life Was the light of men In a dark world full of death and corruption To men who have dark and dead hearts And in this darkness illustrating ignorance and sin and error and shame and guilt This eternal life comes as a laser light shining through the darkness Christ steps into a dark room and flips the light on and dispells the darkness where the light is the darkness runs In the same ways that the the rays of the Sun emanate from the Sun in the same way that heat and light emanates from the fire light emanates from the source of light life emanates from the source of all life Apart from Christ men are staggering blindly through a dark world. Don't know their right hand from their left Eternal darkness lies ahead the Prince of Darkness rules over this world and he has Veiled the eyes of the unbelieving lest they see and be saved There's a veil of darkness that is drawn drawn over the spiritual life of unsaved people of unbelievers men love darkness rather than light because their needs are evil if you love your life If you love your sin If you love living for yourself if you don't really want to be here because of your sin You don't really have any interest in the things of God Unbelievers don't want to come to a church like this because their sins will be brought into the light Unbelievers don't want to have a conversation about the gospel because someone's gonna expose their sin and bring it into the light Remember going to see on vacation once System of caves in North Carolina Went into the cave really cool to look at just need to see Went down into the caves and as we're going down into the caves We're getting farther and farther into the cave They want to demonstrate to you how dark it is in that cave as you get down in there and they turn the light off When you turn the light off, I mean you literally cannot see there anything it is a complete absence of light You cannot see your hand directly in front of your face. There's no shadowy. There's nothing no light But if you were in that cave and you lit even a small candle Just a match That cavern is going to be filled with light instantaneously it Shuns the darkness sends the darkness running The darkness will not overcome not even that small flickering match light We're not overcome that small flickering candle How less then will any darkness ever shroud the Billions upon billion watts of electric light power That shines forth from the source of all light Jesus Christ that shines in the darkness There's no room for any darkness at all In that point six Christ is invincible Christ is invincible Verse five says the light shines in the darkness and the darkness did not comprehend it There's a word at the end of that statement in verse five did not comprehend comprehended That word there at the end translates the Greek word kata lumbano kata lumbano it Doesn't necessarily mean comprehend in that sense. We view comprehend as it didn't understand it. It could mean that But kata lumbano means more to the point that the darkness did not seize upon it did not grasp it with both hands did not Overcome it did not overpower it did not overwhelm it the darkness was not victorious over it The darkness did not dispel the light the darkness was powerless against the light The light of Jesus Christ is coming to the world and the darkness of this work wicked world cannot overcome it light always dispels darkness You could say additionally of Christ that in the face of that darkness in The face of those odds in the face of those enemies that array themselves against him in the face Even of your wicked dark heart in the face of all your sin That Jesus Christ light shines In the face of enemies Jesus Christ is not only invincible.  He's sinless He's incorruptible. He's indivisible. He is indestructible. He is indomitable. He is ineffable. He is inextinguishable He is invincible Christ Came to shine a light on the black backdrop of this world But not just to shine a light on the black backdrop of this world Christ came to shine the light on the black backdrop of your own heart my own heart Dead in our sins Overcome by darkness we are and Christ came to be victorious To triumph over that where we can't We're lost in the dark. We can't do anything for ourselves We grapple and search and crawl can't find the door We crawl and grapple and search apart from Christ for our sin Just want more darkness I want to stay in the dark And yet Christ comes Bringing the light of life The life of light the life and light of salvation to a dark world to a dark hearted depraved men In such a way that not even the gates of hell can prevail against it And as great as your sin is Greater is the light as Great as your depravity as thorough as your depravity is Greater is the life that Christ brings if you'll but believe as John says on his name That believing on his name you might have life You know Herod tried Tried to have all the babies murdered under the age of two because he wanted to put out the light the Davidic line was Reduced at one point to one king Hidden by his mother so that Satan wouldn't put out the light He tried to do it on the cross and yet at the cross light shines the brightest When the dark Seems the darkest Satan thought he had victory and Christ says it is finished Christ won the victory at the cross Yet we is Men and women in the light of that live for ourselves Turn our backs and head into the darkness And we'll continue walking in darkness and head toward an eternal darkness Rather than come into the light And receive cleansing and forgiveness Miraculous display isn't it of the darkness within our own hearts apart from him You must turn from sin turn from darkness But your faith and trust in Christ alone to save you can't work your way out of the darkness You are blind and you are dead All you can do is put faith and trust in Christ Believe on him as the life and light in this world Trust him alone To forgive you to cleanse you to enable you to live this christian life And follow him as a lord And he'll give you an eternity in light an eternity of life With all the saints in heaven Amen. Amen. Let's pray Father in heaven would praise be to you Lord for life and light praise be to you Lord that You could have Left us in darkness. We deserve it. God we deserve it. We've Chosen it Lord we Been completely corrupted completely enveloped in it And yet you got in your great mercy and your great grace toward us Brought life and light In Jesus christ god the sun We praise you lord. Thank you for that. We worship you As god And thank you for the salvation that we have in him I pray god that we would live with our eyes just Pealed on the light god just laser focused on the light We wouldn't become like those that live continuously in darkness blind But we would just keep our eyes on christ But if there's anyone here lord who's never come to the light, they're still trying to hide in some dark corner Pray god that by your grace and mercy that you draw them out Give them life Turn them to christ and save them for your glory all these things We pray in the blessed name of our great god and savior jesus christ. Amen

That's cool Prince like two feet tall. Yep, definitely how it works. Everyone in New Zealand is like two feet tall Pigsy Easy clap Pigsy is best What what have I done? My mind is my own again stranger beware the thing has gone into the palace If it reaches the king and the queen all Valencia will kneel before it. I cannot face the horror again I am a two week go I'm listening to dial. You are stronger than you seem but the druids who imprisoned me ages ago were far Stronger, how can you hope to stand against me? Okay How do I turn off automatic emojis? I don't know. I don't know how to do that Is there like a I don't know how to do that on YouTube. I apologize. That's probably just YouTube being YouTube Just how it works. Just how it works. Just how it works. Unfortunately Brent isn't real confirmed Brent is actually a robot Don't spoil it for everybody. That's still to come. You know, that's season five of Brent Geez My dad was reading the dialogue. That's fine. Same same. Don't worry team. I was reading dialogue to dialogue is important Dialogue is very important in my life Especially since I am recording this for YouTube specifically for the purpose of a full game walk-through with dialogue So, yes But here's drinking water The I have to say that's the only thing that I can say to that. Hopefully it works Yep, that's right. That's right. Nightbot knows best Nightbot knows best Nightbot just knows everything, you know, that's how it works Nightbot never lies either.

It is a long time for me Feels like it's been forever Yeah On your life you crafted it.  I think I must have deleted I used to have the number up on the top there up up up here But it just sticks at 1000 until I get one thousand one hundred So it's like not not worth having that because it's not actually real time anymore Almost two months. You've been a sub. That's a wee while like that's a wee while There's some people who have been here for youngs, but there's all that's a wee while two months Especially for someone like as small as me Yeah Well gg that was easy clap That was an easy clap there Just the two left that will probably die sometime in the near future of dotting Or I can get a hit that would be cool Knowing knowing someone else that would be for me.
