Introduce the video drinker It's the season finale of of the Mandalorian I don't know how you guys feel for this one can't wait It's great. I'm not this much fun since my last colonic irrigation Those are always pretty good. I see the thing about it is We have been through the entire adventure as for drinking here. How far did you get why don't you tell the audience? I got to episode three and Yeah, just ragequitted when we skipped over to dr. Prushing and whoever his friend was I was just like now This is it. I'm done. I can't deal with this show anymore Which is I was pretty iffy since the giant alligator thing and started to take the Mandalorians And then there was like a 15 minute battle scene of them just shooting pointlessly at it So the funny thing is that's probably our favorite episode Mainly because that storyline with dr. Prushing despite the fact that it has absolutely like almost zero to do with Mando both in terms of story and like style and Content it's a very bizarre little piece of Star Wars that he doesn't fit the rest of the season It doesn't really matter though because the rest of the season is as you'd expect slash worse because if we were to quickly summarize it That storyline is just about how dr. Prushing gets screwed over and captured by someone manipulating him to try and my assumption at The time would be to prevent him from continuing his research or something. We haven't really gotten I was about to summarize it But I was like I realized like we didn't really get a conclusion on that We don't really know why that actually happened in episode three yet. Yeah, we're not sure yet.  The whole episode is just them try to get it the kid back Most incompetent way pop if it's if it's a big like monster thing shouldn't just eat the kid immediately I Follow the kid immediately but Several days later Yeah, I think that is that is a perfect metaphor for the storytelling of this show It's like you've got a really simple thing monster eats kid But then you we have to spin it we have to spin it out So monster eats kid takes it away barfs it up and then there's a really protracted rescue sequence To get them before the monster really eats him this time They follow it halfway and then it go back to rally the troops and then go back at night Time yeah, it's lucky nothing happened in that interim I thought the drinker was gonna go a different direction with that The idea that it's sort of a microcosm for the Disney projects They're just looking for things to regurgitate later and you show you that you remember Yeah, now it's all slimy and nasty and disgusting. That's it. That's pretty good metaphor for it What's great about that really shit rescue mission is that they cut in a flashback of another shitty rescue mission in between it Yeah, which is also gone nowhere so far Flashback of Ahmed best playing a Jedi that rescues baby Yoda from Carson.  You like all of these things This is honestly the voice actor. Isn't that cool? It's like I guess I thought it was a little bit tasteless how at the end He says it's jarbon time and then he jar jars all over the troopers. So that was a little taste That's the one part I actually like so Like I thought he's gonna get him clear of the tempo and then go wheezer free Takes out his lightsaber and as it goes Yeah, so that was the wonderful episode for episode five Remind me Grief cargo one was Seen man is like I feel like that was like a good 15 minutes Summary of episode five is Navarro good ol grief cargas plays is attacked by pirates and then Mando comes in and kills them all That's the best act by pirates off goes to visit group cargo was like, you know what no that they're not Respectable, but they're just shot with one ship and that's enough to destroy The annihilate tomorrow all the people are dead and then it takes maybe a few days for the Mando's to get there And it's just presumed that they can help There's no better way to illustrate this trigger that a capital ship above your city Just bombarding it with all kinds of artillery and then he sends a message to some guy across the other side of the galaxy Who then goes to Carson to ask if he can get some reinforcements Who then goes to the secret planet where the Mando's are and ask them maybe if they can help? We were just like laughing the whole time Yeah, this happens all the time in this season It's like in the minds of the writers like when you leave a scene everything just kind of gets paused You know you take as long as you need it's fine There's no sense of you know a galaxy that's working and you know it kind of with itself Everything's very disjointed. You don't feel like there's any sense of of it being a living world And it hasn't done for ages Do you know what kind of captured it though? What kind of did handle?  Whatever that means Yeah, right, right, of course. Yeah, so that's why Boca-Tan Boca-Tan can't get it off now. Yeah, so this is like the part that starts to be like oh Is the goal of season three of Mando to like shift focus away from this this was my assumption And I I assumed and I could be proven totally wrong that they were gonna get rid of Pedro Pesco So Mando season three in the last of us, I think we're shooting at the same time.  That's most of season three done. Thank you You mentioned the whole Boca-Tan and the mythos or thing in the blacksmith lady Which got me thinking that the blacksmith lady thinks that the mythos or is a legend and doesn't actually exist And what this is is this is implying that the Mandalorian code has a just in case rule just in case The mythos or is actually real and exists and you see it Then we have a provision that will allow you to change your Mandalorian code status If you see one just on the off chance it does exist or she just made it up on the spot There's Boca-Tan bring with her any proof that she saw this with the sort of just takes her at her word Like what's interesting is that they claim it to I was gonna say if you're going by this logic, right Mando could just go away for like 10 minutes and be like yep So I went to Mandalore bathed in the waters of life. And yeah, I'm good to go now You just have to take my word for a no proof Mando needed to bring proof back that he had been in the water He had to bring the water specifically back and it was a it was a big deal people were very Skeptical that he'd been there. So he had to prove that he had the water However Boca-Tan said that she saw a mythos or and no proof was required.  I'll just go to Nebraska. No, that's not it You can't go there. It's cursed and and then they require a lot of extensive proof that he'd been in Nebraska And then Jim over here says yeah, so um, yeah, well a lot while I was in Nebraska I saw a unicorn and it was like wow, I can't believe you saw a unicorn. That's crazy. That's amazing. Wow I had no idea wow now you can take your home it off It would make the show infinitely better to have just one jealous character being like I Saw two. Yeah, we need to Frank Grimes in this What is Mandalorian's ever done for me? Seriously, what have y'all ever done for me? I can't go outside I have to wear this helmet on none of my armor matches. I don't have any friends.  Yeah, and the older faction the one she was hanging out with in season two. They're pretty big, too There's a whole bunch of them now the big old ship as well.    I don't even know how to summarize that one Don't try it's fine. That one seems like a waste of time for everyone But at the end of it Boca-Tan defeats guy in combat And so she's like I should lead you and he's like no you don't have the darksaber simple as that and then Mando Just goes no no she does and yeah, and then she has it and it's like there we go the way it happens We memed about it.  Yeah It feels deliberately awkwardly framed.  He's gone now though. I guess also there's people living on Mando Lord if you're living there Yeah, there's just Mando's that have been on Mando law this whole time as well that poison planet that apparently they never escaped and told People that it wasn't poisoned. How long has it even been po- was it ever poisoned? I just don't I don't think it was poison. There was a covered in this weird crystal There's kind of went with it wherever they I guess and it's already Unlucky that there was like not a single ship like underground they could have used. Yeah, I just can't buy that No communication device. No, there's a whole civilization here. You can't just bomb all the technology away And so I was talking to Gary about this like there was some I think it was a super chat that said like oh I thought those manders they met up with were gonna be like evil or whatever And I was like, yeah, I thought I thought like I almost blanked them I was like, oh, yeah, so Mando's meet up with our our good Mando's and they're they're a little suspicious But they're like, oh, you know, we we we serve Bo Katan It's like uh-huh and then they lead them right to Godzilla and then they lead them right to the Empire settlement It gets them all like captured slash kill. We'll get into that in a sec But I was like so they're evil then it's like well, I don't know they never had a scene for that They never know really I guess we'll find out I think it might just be incompetence And then yes, they ran into Godzilla. Yes.  That's right Yeah, and so and then there's just a huge Empire settlement on on Mandalore. It's an enormous base This one has massive world-building implications because the big base is housing a bunch of guys possibly Moff Gideon clones Mandalorian armor Say that again Moff Gideon clones No, well, so I think it's like I don't know if they're actually Moff Gideon clones. I think they are That's what we'll find out. What I take away from the most relevant part is they have beskar armor And then you know, there's there's none of these jetpack Mando stormtroopers with beskar armor in the sequel trilogy Yeah, you do get jetpack troopers. I think in the sequel trilogy, but none of them are best No, they do fly now, but They just die you can't do they fly now if they flew flew before it's Wasn't on Mandalore, right? Yeah, I guess he probably is but they so you got yeah He would have been raised in the arm the army that has the jetpack troopers and they price They probably didn't invent that as a they didn't invent an air core yesterday So he would have been aware of it a whole time.  We should use it. It's like oh Never ever ever have them acknowledge that at this point We've already seen like decades of The idea that your your random troopers now actually have bullet immunity or blaster immunity is just like oh my And there's this scene drinker with an army of mandos all with like several with like guns a Kimbo We're just shooting at storm troopers that all have their armor as well It's just everyone's shooting at each other and no one's hitting anything. It's just like But I've heard people like that episode so yeah, there's all the cool action stuff It's so bad. I hate it. What can we say?   It's kind of remarkable. He's lost his plot armor Yeah, it's amazing.  Oh, well, no, you forgot about pads. Visler.  There's too many and then he kills all of them Yeah, he's basically just him But then we have those other special I forgot their name the red armory and God Torian guards if they just annihilate him in they're gonna be a mini boss this episode. They'll be they'll be like a mini boss battle Oh, yeah Now that brings us to the to the predictions the more interesting questions about about Mandalorian season 3 Will Mando Jaren die because I feel like that's really possible at this point Well, last I spoke of it with I think Gary as I gave it a 50-50.   I think that they want to keep them around. He might not be the Central character of the story, but they're gonna keep him around so they can bring him back later You want to make some some buckaroos here? Can you say it's like Dollars to record like, you know exactly lines or so What's the what's the potential for Boca Town to get killed?   Who knows but yeah But look at look at it this way as well we were talking about his commitment to doing last of us Let's be real here. He's not gonna be around after the next season of last of us Maybe he's gonna have more time. They've talked about, you know changes They have They've even said specifically his fate, so I don't know what I mean. Nothing, but we'll see Fate is to be a part of the Star Wars Universe Disney machine forever On the subject of the finale something that I've noticed as a potential overarching theme for this season of Mandalorian if you can believe it is like the notion of second chances That's something that I've noticed is like a persistent recurring story element throughout the season of people getting Second chances to do something. That's all I've got for it. I don't have anything To believe that may be there anyway. Yeah, the references would be like Mando Oh, I got a cuz you remember how it's like what are we doing in terms of Mando bathing in the living waters and getting redeemed? It's like I think that's legitimately just it like RC Yeah, now he's got a second chance to hang out with this Mando group And then there seems to be a whole big thing with Boca time basically getting a second chance to like rule Mandalore They had like Paz Vizsler kind of like going on a little redemption arc the redemption simply being that he likes Mando now But he didn't like it. Oh, yeah, and then there was there was like explicit references in the Jack Black episode when they're talking about Like the Lizzo character is talking about second chances with with doc. Yeah, you know if everybody's made mistakes Like what about second chances and then there's like the storyline with the with like Pershing and the officer lady That's kind of like the I guess the negative sides of sometimes people can be given a second chance And then they still decide to do shitty things or somebody gets a second chance and then through circumstances kind of ripped away from them That's about it. Um, that's just something I noticed It's like judging from all of that is they're gonna be some kind of payoff that relates to second chances like I Would imagine they're like no see we've laid it all up. So now it's like Boca time gets to rule Mandalore So like that's it. That's the end.  This is terrifying. What are we gonna do by the time you hit the end of it? They're all dead and he's assumed dead season two.  He's back has a new huge army. Oh my god What are we gonna do? Oh Jesus? Oh, he's gone. Yeah, by the end of the day I can't believe we're actually headed to maybe do that again this season like you can't be serious souls fans I must have noticed by now, right? I think Moff Gideon is around until the Mando movie I don't see why they would ever kill him. It's a pattern at this point. He's back He has an even bigger or newer army.  They're gonna win But then he'll be back. He'll be back until the movie and then maybe they'll get If they've introduced clothes that of course, you'll be back Exactly there's another theory go around that the arbor will be evil Who are like familiar with what the horns on the helmet mean and all this stuff And I'm just like they've never ever thought deeper than is a pretty cool voice We should keep her at it. Yeah, I think it is. She's just apparently the cool blacksmith lady Relate law basically. She is the Lord dump character. No way. They suddenly make her evil That's just I don't think no shot. No shot. She's meant to be cool. And then there's That's it There's nothing else to speculate. So I really this is the fun of watching It's broke.  Well, you'll do something with the force in this episode He's gonna betray Mando. Oh Drinker Baby Yoda has an IG mech that he sits in now and controls. Oh, yeah, I've seen the pictures of this Yeah, you can press a button that says yes, and it's really funny because he pressed it And those goal was he wanted to restore his friend now. They're just scuffling his corpse around He's really cool with that.    I feel like a Sark of Mines. Whoo. It's okay. Yes. Oh Imagine the after credit scenes. I'm my money's on throne being like I shall Dr. Pershing was captured by the new Republic. Did you hear he saw the mountain? Pershing saw the mythos They're like like snokes, I don't I guess cuz we saw Shouldn't his arm be up in his hologram if he's holding that thing no, yeah, so many Mandalorians Look at that big-ass ship. Oh god. It's hard to believe. They're only three last week When there's just like a couple of them and they were like this nomadic race. Oh, they've made them so lame in the show Packs Here they come look Empire of Mando's Horrible idea.  Yeah, we followed them into the base into these hallways and they ambushed us shockingly we're Mandalorians We're smart. I can't get over Muff Gideon. Just being like a discount Darth Vader.  Who knows what'll happen Wait, wait, you're not flying all the way back flying. Yeah, actually flying into a little bit. He's not actually doing that, right?  I don't know like hopefully he's actually go to space Shoot what is your point in shooting these guys? You're not gonna stop them with blaster fire Well, they got a little better. That looks pretty bad Oh, that looked bad. I'll also because there wasn't anything that happened to just cover the screen is that Mando? Oh, look at that.   I can't believe we've done so that's it He's free now. I love it. That's it. All right. Let's resolved Still can't talk yet and he's able to like manipulate a complex biomechanical droid thing. It's great It's great. It's like worth practice as well I just don't get it.  Oh, I would have had a modicum of respect for the show I really would have why is everything? Moff Gideon went to the dr. Evil school of Pulling apart. Yeah, why is I escaped. It's like how I He's got a jetpack now, too.  What are they gonna do Mando and bokeh time destroyed? What was it like six of them in a dog fight the fighters and bombers have launched their capital ship will soon be destroyed That doesn't sound like him. No, they don't love kidding clothes, baby Oh, so you're gonna love this the UI guys were working on it Mando Little green dot that's gonna be his little grogu, baby. No You could have done that already but you didn't for no reason I like how he's got horns on his helmet It's cuz he's really cool. Call me crazy, right? But if you want to keep baby Yoda safe, shouldn't he like be inside the chest lately with Anything it puts them at around chest level where people will be shooting To get shot. How's that atmosphere looking droid get me the location of Moff Gideon's command center Sorry, I don't speak binary. Well, that's the thing about binary. How are you there? You speak it or you don't It's us the droid to do something but he doesn't know what the droids saying so he just assumes the droids go to log with it I guess why don't you just have the droid give the droid a voice box?  How would the Imperials not have seen you and shot in the any security the busy Especially now that you know Mandalorians are running around What are you doing droid what why did you program? We just wanted to know how deep it was I guess Okay, it has curiosity of potential death that it is in program to investigate We have time to be doing this fine Only a 40-minute episode that is supposed to tie up everything. Hopefully there's no stairs in this complex. Oh, we can fly That's right. That's right. They thought of everything, right? They thought of everything they thought of everything You can't speak binary literally only sharing his beeps and he doesn't know what they mean It's lucky that the clone troopers jetpacks can just integrate with his armor like they're compatible with each other great You don't have to you don't have to worry about weaver versus Picatinny or anything like that It's just all it's all compatible. Just shove them together and they just work. This is works. Oh great It just works he could have said our five one beep for it's done two beeps for it's not done No, that would be intelligent. We don't do that. He's still flying into the app. He's there. We go I don't believe it. Am I actually to believe that his suit is really sealed against the vacuum? Yes. Yes, you are. Oh That looks pretty rough.    That's a trick. Yeah, his arc of Boca-Tan's cool. He's gonna die for sure. Yeah, Boca-Tan. It's cool I don't know. It's over. What are you doing? You could have used the capital?  Yeah, oh look, it's gonna be a big epic battle guys. Isn't it exciting? Yeah, but they're all on the ground so they outnumber and outclass them on individual unit levels. I don't understand Is I why didn't you fight them? Through the clouds, yeah, you never bumped into each other or your radar Amazing Sacrificing the capital ship for no reason and that's really bad idea.  Where are your show good capital ships are You really don't have shields for your ship. No, look at it.  Why did you do this getting destroyed so much? You have like anti air lasers there everywhere ways. How are all those turrets operating? Why is he still in there?  Thanks. What are we doing like metal gear solve? What is this? Yes, this is metal gear. So this is why we did that Room then because we have an action scene for it It's gonna be like in the Phantom Menace, but he doesn't even know if the droid can do this is doing it Oh Why can't you just deactivate them all at once? So it's a fight them one by one you can't fight them all at once even though they'll just deactivate the shields themselves and then attack you Oh, did I just like stand there all day?  Why do they keep doing that?  Oh look don't you love Mando didn't these guys be calling for backup? Yeah, I get people to Many good well wouldn't do the many good, but you know Logistics of that go on shoot punch me in the helmet again Why would you get rid of the melee weapon when it's been working so well inexplicably? Oh? It's that the true epic confrontation of the show No, wait until yeah, you haven't killed that guy. Yeah, I am I Think you needed to do that Standing there. Yeah, it was standing He's brave now cuz the nerve droid and now he's he's doing a little Why did that work or is that the play that tune? That's it that concussive force you're not allowed to do that show you're not allowed to actually have the Well, that but no more of the things that don't do anything.  Oh, no How did you ever take over the galaxy? But I think they didn't at all.   I think most people when they make in their own clones install a little self-destruct Wow You can even grow plants and stuff. Why are we doing this now Jaren's okay? This is like this is this is previous episode stuff guys Not finale stuff. Do you live here? We have hideouts and food caches throughout the surface of the planet. Why don't you bathe? Man, I don't know what it is. Farms is a tear It's so clear to me that you aren't where you are and like you're in a very small space too So that's you baffling. This is our farming set. We cultivated farms Life persists. I get it. You can't stop men. Lawrence. They're just too cool I never knew this surface could still sustain plant life. Well, it does why wouldn't it? Like actually what was preventing plants are growing? You just telling us stuff that we can already see it's like Completely pointless. How else they're gonna fill time? So much Reinforcements for all of our fighters and our capital ships. Yeah. Now. Where were they go?  You can make a little ceiling sound, but there's just nothing for the helmet to connect to on the neck So like don't even yeah, you're right. Is it not enough for it to go? Maybe it's just a sound. It's literally just a sound effect whenever you put it on They can actually fly as fast as ships. Yeah With just a little boost so you can get to like higher spaces. Oh, do you have If armor ladies come with she's gonna need a gun, right? Is she finally gonna use our hammer you can't now look She's got a messy look. They're on our death. You are joking that she would use a hammer in flight though, right?   Did you just say he gave his the force? Literally what he just said I mean I guess that would be something that Empire evil Empire science would do What are you injected them with the force What is that even yeah, like the force right from oh you missed his head you fool I gave them the force isn't he supposed to be ego driven when he wants it though.   What is happening?  Oh, yeah You're actively killing Star Wars The point of our knee rockets Infants in here what is happening? Arms are straight down. He's not actually moving Like a little puppet.   We're gonna help.  I've got this what's it gonna be this time surrender or fight. I can beat you with this time because I have My side. Oh, yeah, well, I have this thing. Oh my god I have the purple stick. I have the black sword. I'm gonna We're gonna Stop showing this I beg you stop showing this please Oh They don't have best car It's either cool red armor or Baskar you can't have it be cool red and best Nobody cares. Oh, no Okay, okay Why did you show me that just action here action there? I gotta kill that baby To just shove people around couldn't you just crush them with power of the force No, no, well, he he's strangled jita karate the first season. He's not doing that to these guys. He just hates women.    What are you? You're not driving it Is he actually just gonna I had to go down with the ship. This is my He's gonna crush it into everyone else the underground bro. You don't even know if they can get out You've committed my dude Remember that plan we didn't have everyone having heard near the ledge doesn't mean anything though. She's got a jetpack Yeah, she doesn't matter.  I don't know Hey, why does he want the dark sabers so much? Oh, it's it's it's cool. It gives you like five plus Cool, let's make another one. Oh, that was easy. You oh, did he break the dock? Thank god You've lost everything You can just do that apparently, okay, it's here. Are bones not destroyed in your hand then Mandalorians are stronger together.   You cannot do anything else. Oh my god. It's close. Oh, wow.  Okay, cool. Oh look it's time What he's an imperial trader. He's actually trying to fly in there. Oh, oh, I was dead What was that plan, dude? That's a horrible plan. He may as well just kill mando baby yoda and bogey Yeah What's the mode of fighters that are still in space? I think we're back to be fair.   I know what no god. He's still alive, but they're not he'll be fine. See him next season He'll be horrible. It's god because of the force rags baby. Oh Wow, that is an insanely powerful move Mandalorians are stronger together and baby yoda Like the platform that they're sitting on be vaporized as well Yeah, I don't know. I was going custom. I would expect the whole cave to collapse in on them, but yeah, it's a massive Ship that's just Exploding how long interior of a cave Imagine this this isn't a good hour Like baby yoda stuff like Jesus. I gotta do it for that log. Okay. Wow. You are absurdly strong That's fine Totally fine. I've chosen one probably well that place held up pretty well to that kind of thing. Yeah, no bad It was only a capital ship. Oh, we're done. Okay. Nobody died. That's we did it everybody.  Is that it? Really?  I'm sure in 30 years when children are going It does not even touch in him It's his roll-off his helmet.   Okay, but then he does have to have a helmet, right? He is too young to speak So he is too young to take the creed. He must remain a foundling If his parent gave permission, couldn't he then become a Mandalorian apprentice?  Sure. It doesn't change it. How is this is Nothing. Well, it's not the way. There's absolutely not the way let it be written in song The din jaron is accepting this foundling as his son. How is this new? We know we know he's been like that forever We assume. Yeah, we assume that was you know, it was So he wasn't you are now Like Well, maybe The names and styles work, they'll be like yeah, her name is Cree's right her last name is Cree's yeah house Cree's So he would be bokeh ton Uh grogu He'd be grogu Wait, I forgot his last name din jaron grogu jaron. Yeah, it should be grogu jaron not din grogu.  Obi-Wan calling his son Obi-Wan John Something We're gonna do it Yeah, you think one of the other guys they would be like I wouldn't have a look by the way. I'm just curious Yeah, I'm gonna have a look. She said she saw one.  There he is Yay This means something. I was about to say they show that like it means some things.  I know right? What do you mean they defeated abby of evil baddo? Oh, this is the way.  We can waste them all Is that like a is that a mandor gesture?  They really do We haven't had a cameo probably yet, right? Like a proper super duper big cameo. Who's it gonna be better? Be careful if they don't have cameos people are gonna think this is a bad episode. Oh god, that walking looks terrible He's not even touching the floor. He's just floating Let me play last day floaty. Oh boy hat man. He really is here.  Well, he looked at them for two seconds one of them reminds him of somebody new I have a business proposition. Give me 10 bucks. I'm gonna call this season four This youngling is my apprentice. What does that have to do with me? I'm a bounty hunter by trade Well, I'll I'll be lying now that he's with me. I'll be more selective in my assignments Oh, you have a bid though. You know, what's a lot of bouncing bringing him into danger You don't have the resources to protect the outer rim let alone hunt down imperial remnants and I need work You're gonna be more selective and therefore go after imperial remnants You want to work for the new republic on a case-by-case basis? Yeah, but he's a bounty hunter Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, this is against regulation. It'll never get approved Why would you why would it be against regulation to have independent contractors when that's exactly what you need? Well, you know what? It's regulation then you can't pay him.  What I want in return is that wait, is this even his bar? Can you just take that?  We've completed. We defeated the empire. So you couldn't come in here and take my ID You're not I fixed him. It's gonna be so incredible. I can't wait I want to give you this deed to a cabin where you can lay low with your new family if you choose Between adventures you've been saying adventures now. It's like Rick and Morty You cleaned up this place really nice. You almost forget.  It's IG 11 Ryan, he'll be like them off. Yeah Yeah, exactly.   I am you new marshal and they're all like Hey, rags, rags, they just went they basically just quadrupled their defense budget like it's Oh, that's his little home What are we doing? What I don't what's happening. He's chilling down. Okay, man. Does that want to sit down? What is it gonna be some scene of like leave them alone leave the frog alone Oh, so this is their little happy ending then but Damn, so like that probably is the end commander, right? They've shuffled him off to just be in his own little They did exactly what I thought they would do with him. Yeah in a sense. They really did I I don't know. I even expected more consequences then. Oh my god That was the point of that season Well, Mandalore the Mandalorian Mandalore is just fixed and the Mandalorians have it. Okay. Great. I'm I'm happy That doesn't make it. This doesn't do any problems. Damn. Do you think what happened with this? I'm curious I don't think this is a no.  I don't think this is enough Star Wars fans They get they were you needed more like arbitrary Substantialist events to happen.  I don't believe Gideon's dead No, no Our shot and I can't actually they did it three times the exact same finale three times Like this is actually I don't know why we thought mando was going to die actually now that I yeah This is like he was never going to die. No, I actually We have fairy tale ending. I'm now starting to think that even if Pedro Pascal Refused to come back. They wouldn't kill him. No, I think he uh, I think that what they've done there might actually be They're gonna skinwalker luke him. I think that's just the that that could be him like shuffled out of the show He lives yeah, they'll bring him back if they need to right Yeah, exactly. They'll bring him back. Are the ratings down bring back din jar and they otherwise Brings it down with him Yeah Mando will be other characters or they'll just do different shows that might be the arrangement This is so funny in a meta sense though, right because they committed at the end of season two We're finally changing the format. We're breaking him up. He's gonna go bounty hunting They did that for a couple like what not even a anything. They did it They did it for one episode and then they were like which by the way Was probably the one episode we gave like an okay score to out of all Yeah, that was one of it was one of the better episodes of this selection because it's just we get to see mando in Less familiar situation, but um, they couldn't commit and so they've actually undone it and made it a permanent state That he's just chilling out with baby Yoda and they're just having fun on their little ranch or something I don't think people will be happy with this finale. I don't think so.  I don't get any sense of like why they particularly want to beat each other It's just well we're enemies What are their opposing values other than mando thinks it's like good to be good and I'm getting it's like it's good to be evil. It is good to be evil They don't really have any directly opposing like central values that they can have clashing in this confrontation So that they mean more than just who wins the fight of punching or shooting or swinging the sword Because that's always what it comes down to us. Who's like the best at doing that Like you pointed out muller like what these fight scenes are all the same It's like the main character's taking a beat and oh looks like he could be in trouble here And then how's he gonna get out of it? It's always the other character that everyone knows The past few minutes. Yeah, exactly. We know they're there We know they're gonna show up at the crucial moment and that's it It's just the same thing happens over and over again It has become very clear with this season in particular how much they Extend like everything that happens in this show. It's little things like scenes that are three four minutes long That may be convey 30 seconds worth of information because of these protracted pauses between each Not even each sentence like within each portion of the sentence But then you have like this where it was that was like 40 minutes. What really happened in that 40 minutes They fought. They fought. The Empire got defeated The big army fought the big army and lost and the main bosses fought the main bosses and the bad guys lost And they fought the army in ways that on its face seem Substantibly different, but like, you know, oh, they're sneaking through the base Oh now they're flying around and they're having a they didn't even have a dogfight with the uh, the interceptors just left Yeah, they just disappeared. They just were done. They we did our job We're gonna go and collect our pensions now. Do you think when you saw return of the Jedi There's Praetorian guards for the emperor leaving the room or whatever. You're like one day. You're gonna see three of them fight a baby That was the funniest I didn't like fixture above them and they can't get them. They're just like jabber I don't want to say about that. Like did you not realize when you were filming it that this needs to not happen We can't do this Well, do you ever think like they looked at because in the the prequels with Yoda being like a CG character And they clearly wanted to go for the puppet direction here That they were like, well, we've got to make him look like a puppet even when he's clearly cg instead of just making him animate Like a person. Well in the in the distant shots where he's moving around That's the time where you have him be cg and then in a lot of the close-ups and holding him or when he's just sitting around That's where he's a puppet rags. That's the thing. They want him to look like a puppet Yeah, it's to avoid the style of the puppets in the original and it's like, you know Sometimes it's okay to like use visual effects I'm sorry Like just before we go on guys, I'm gonna have to drop out. Unfortunately. I've I've run out of time. Um That's right. I have a bit more rambling I want to do but thanks. Yeah. Yeah But yeah, it was it was well, it was an experience watching this with you guys I'm so glad to have shared it with you. There's nobody else that we'd rather have suffered through that with the new guys G. Thanks Bye. See you later. I'm looking at it now as much more rambling today And the way that he moves the puppet is like tipping back and over You know what I mean? Like it like it they can't fully control it. They're having trouble with it. He's he's like he's Disbalanced it's it's it's not quite right.  Uh, I don't think that's a great argument No, I don't think so either. I just uh, I feel like maddo's is beating it out Well, yeah, but that's a puppet.  Yes is a million warm trooper It's the same thing man does and then look there's the praetorian guards and look there's the darksaber Which man I'm so thrilled that that's like gone and it doesn't exist anymore.  I think it's because of his little robot parts, but then it's like but why didn't it crush like bokeh time's hand? Yeah, why did he made robot sounds it makes robot sounds right? It goes I know but like how what does is he a cyborg? No, I think it's meant to be like he's mechanically like sort of yeah, but then he should win these fistfights because he's gonna be Oh, yeah, but he still loses because he's on his own. It's like well, he wouldn't have been but you killed all of his I just was too strong as hands have each other that they can use Together as a team The difference between the visual of a hundred thousand star destroyers and a hundred thousand mandaloreans Same thing.  She was hitting them with her hammer. She was flying around hitting them with her hammer Yeah, like I don't know. You're right. That's the peak. That's the end That's critical mass of cringe for the for the blacksmith lady. Yeah, they did it Congratulations.   Yeah flying directly Also, we can't forget she's using her tongs as well.  That's the end of of uh, Mando as like main character in the story Which I don't really care about Ahsoka will almost be pushing forward the continuity of the Mando verse She's next uh, yes She is next up and I imagine that she'll be more central going forward Of Ray Stevenson, David Tennant and several other like people in it makes me think like surely there'll be a character, right? There's gonna be one. Yeah, but it's the same. It's Dave Filoni like executive and John Favreau I've seen people say you should have hope because it's like Dave Filoni looks like he has full control And it's just so funny to hear that one. He didn't have full control like here I don't think they know that Dave Filoni and John Favreau have nothing but like positive things to say about this No, yeah, if you if you see interviews with them with each other, they're very much on the same page It would seem they like this show they think it's really good. Yeah The general receptions of this season has not been good. Um, like by by standards Mando My guess would be that Star Wars fans are not gonna be happy with this finale either I don't think so. What is in here that's that's like actually the problem is I can imagine either way so easily I've kind of been looking on Twitter just now to see if I find any like trends or anything at all I found one bokeh tan one But just people just kind of fanning out about bokeh tan and how cool everything is but it's not a lot Like normally like episode season one and two when the episode dropped that day Like it was just trending all day and people were like, whoa, awesome But I have a hard time actually finding something more of a thing. There is the less valuable like the individual The specialness of it is and that's a lot of what Mando relies on. Yeah, there's no substance here It's just cool. It was individuals unique. Look at him go. Look at that armor.    We don't actually want that. We just say no No, it's just surprising because that's what the fanbase wants from Mando I'm not thinking about the points that you guys brought up about like the dilution of uh, like Mando Mando I think maybe it coasted by it because it was the only star wars show But now there's been a lot more of like this type of star wars show with the exception of andor Mando doesn't have anything unique going for it in terms of being a star wars like a big budget star wars show anymore That's gone. So now it's like, whoa You kind of almost have to compete against the expectations that people have that in some sense have been built up by the other stuff And then also like, you know, relatively to the quality of those other shows as well Both the better one and the worst ones Yeah, I don't need to wait for Mando to get your sludge. You can just get the sludge Every month of the year. There's like some things going on Mando has always been bad But this definitely feels like it's more in the same type of bad as boba fat and obi one Or maybe maybe we're just seeing what's happening star wars is going through the same thing again That like marvel is going through right now of people who are kind of like damn man Like this really is pretty vacuous and like it's assembly line production This one felt more assembly line production than the other ones like the seams are a lot more obvious to me Yeah, maybe a little budget maybe weird that in the beginning of the season We didn't even really acknowledge that grog was just back. I don't think we got like basically anything Oh my god, we're back now They expect you to watch the episode from boba fat, I guess. Yeah, they just assumed they watched that I guess I'm actually surprised boba fat didn't show up in this show like at all It seems like such an easy way to to get a cameo in there and would make quote unquote sense and Yeah, just having fun stuff. That's what they usually do. I don't understand Yeah, especially when he said, oh, I need someone that I trust or whatever it was When he got the IG you and it's like, why don't you call boba was what's happening?  I'm really not sure at this point. I don't know. Well, I guess the the question is is Petropos Cal even gonna be back. Are they easy gonna bother and I don't think he will I don't think he has any interest right now I'm not sure this ending is like he's on pause. We don't know what's right now Yeah, we can put him here and we'll figure it out later I don't think we're gonna see another season of mando for a while while they're trying to figure out what they're doing Especially, you know with these plans for their mando movie. I don't think they figured it out yet Well, the thing is if they care for any continuity They kind of have to make something that takes into account that the Mandalorians have like a whole plan of a beskar again Yeah, where were they in the sequels? Very exactly. That's very very valuable. They kind of need something to destroy them Yeah, I agree. We need to get rid of these cringe lords. Yeah, wipe the galaxy clean and now the Imperials know about it as well Yeah, but don't forget about it now because the base got blown up But we will be seeing no way Moff Gideon's dead. He'll be back, but he'll be scarred The few tweets I saw by the way, we're like, ah Moff Gideon dead for goods like why would you say that? Ugh Ugh, indeed. Jeez. You don't have to watch mando for a little bit now Woohoo I'm sure that'll be better. Oh When is that coming out too soon?  That would be nice That would be nice. It would be really nice. It's our only hope. It is our only hope I have the after mando feeling right now. It's just like, uh, just Stinky, uh, yeah anything else. I don't think there's anything to add Stinky stinky show Yeah Would you bring me


Okay, so problem seven is my son keep my words and Treasure my commandments within you keep my commands and live And my law as the apple of your eye Okay, bind them on your fingers write them on the tablets of your heart Say to wisdom you are my sister and call understanding your nearest kin that they keep you From the immortal woman from the seductress who flatters with her words, okay? So we see the importance of keeping the word of God Okay, our words of wisdom which come from the word of God Just keep my words. What does it mean to keep it means to? To treasure it it means to to obey it means to It means to make sure that you're holding on to it Okay, that's what keep is it know you if I you saying I kept it Which means that you're careful about it, and you're not letting go of it Right, so that's keep so the same versus treasure my commands within you So which means you're keeping it as something very very precious you're treating it as a treasure as something which is precious as something of great value as something that is not common right, so you're keeping it you're treasuring it and And As and he says and my law as the apple of your eye, you know and Apple of your eye, you know again this analogy is like if somebody You know if comes to hit you hit you I you immediately cover it, right? so you You keep God's word as the apple of your eye as his law as apple of your eye And it says, you know bind them on your fingers write them on the tablets of your heart meaning, you know Wherever you can or whatever possible method you want to use You make sure that you're reminded of God's word that you're reminded of this law That you're reminded of the standards of God's word and the reason is this the whole chapter if you read no It's about it's about protection protection from harm protection from and and typically just talking about immorality and you know protection from temptation and so on and I'm sure that it applies to all other, you know areas for us to make the right choice for us to You know prevent us from making the wrong choices and for that This should be my my engagement with the word of God So I should treasure it. I should make sure that I'm reminded of the word of God, so it means that I you know word of God is very central to my life To one's life, right? It needs to be central.  We value the word of God Estimate very highly, right? So when we do that, that is a sure shot protection against making bad choices right and and Falling down and it talks about, you know the consequence of that and it's really, you know, not a pretty picture and you look at that right, so that's the thing right so as Ministers as communicators of God's word You know if we would do this It will do well, right?  Let's pray Father God, we just want to thank you for these words that we just read and we thank you for the instruction there Lord, I pray that you give us a grace and that we will obey it Lord Wholeheartedly fully, oh God that we may learn to keep your word in our hearts that we may learn to treasure your words Your commands in our hearts Father God that we may learn Oh God to be reminded Lord of your commands of your words Lord at all times Father God For truly Lord your word is our protection Lord from all forms of temptation and Really, it's a shield. Oh God shield of faith Comes from the faith that is generated from your word God. We thank you and master. We pray that As believers as communicators as spokesperson of the truth. Oh God that you've called us to be that this will be our Our engagement with your word Father God because this would be how we treat your word Father God We thank you we give you all the praise and all the glory at this time in Jesus matches name We pray a man a man Okay, awesome. So last class we've been we've been looking at Sermon preparation right sermon construction and I hope you filled in that Page let me just go there quickly Okay, okay Okay, so sermon titles topics and titles. Okay, so the link is there And it's in that Google sheet. You just have to click on that sheet go there and Okay, so three people have filled in Others you can fill in Okay Right, okay Wonderful, so you think about it and it'll be good if you can think think about this over the weekend and fill it up Okay, so let me I hope you know where to find that sheet, right? It's there in the Stream it has come as a prompt as an assignment. So you fill that out. Let me just show you that tab So you click on that link and you'll go there so this is what you see So your name you enter your name there and then the southern topic and the title Okay, so hope all of us understood the difference between the The topic and the title Right, so so one topic is the subject But broadly speaking it's like the subject that you're going to be talking about and the title brings a lot more focus to what is the message about Okay, so that's the difference so Okay, so Rosalind is asking After filling when to upload the video of the sermon, okay, so I'll again put out a prompt and you'll have sufficient time to You know like record the video of the sermon and then put it up Okay, so so we'll go through this whole thing of sermon construction We'll go through some important aspects of it and we'll also so you can actually keep adding to it So what I will suggest is you can you know, maybe open a word doc or or you know Even in your notebook you can keep adding you know as we learn as we get inside so you can keep adding to the outline and And then you know you can further refine it and keep it ready and then You can you know, I'll put up. Okay. What is the time that is required timeline that is required You'll have sufficient time to record it and then upload it. Okay, so I can see Yeah, takes a sermon would be how Yeah, so actually what I've said is it can be either Textual or a topical So a text of sermon, you know The topic the the the topic and the title would be the same Same in the sense, you know, let's say for example What is John Paul put okay John Paul has said importance of eternal life. What is it? And where does it take us? And then sermon title is the way the God kind of life now for John Paul it can either be a Topical sermon where he's talking about the you know, so I got kind of life or it can be a textual sermon He can actually pick up a text and say, okay, the whole sermon is based on that text. So that's fine Okay, sermon duration Sermon duration. Let me just think about it. I think we have about 12 of us here right now today's class students So I just need to think I think maybe we can look at five minutes Or maybe ten minutes Maximum, so it's gonna be a short time ten minutes, which means maybe Five people can Four people can actually comfortably present and then you know, they So once they do that I'll also think, you know, whether we need to upload a video upload it because if the more the people I think it's gonna be difficult to present in class. So it makes sense to upload the video So let me just think about it and let you know, right? Okay, I hope that's okay, Rosalind. Yeah, okay. Okay, so today let's so we looked at the topic We looked at the title and we also looked at what all goes into the title, you know, that's where we stopped last class We looked at the fact that the title is You know, it can serve as an advertisement to the message. It can actually stir up the curiosity of the of the of the person and It actually provides a good tone for the message. Okay, and We also saw that because of today's technology and the way technologies use it'll be it'll be good if we can come up with a very good title, which actually intrigues the the one who is surfing the net who is looking at different social media and Also something that accompanies a very arresting graphic a very Arresting picture visual That would also help. Okay. So the visuals would actually not be off-putting in the sense it should not turn off the person but actually in a Kind of stir up the curiosity and say, okay, let me just check what this message is about. So it would help. Okay So we looked at the guidelines And the last one we saw about the title was that it it can be in the form of a question, right? And it can be a question a phrase and So that would be helpful. Okay Let's move on the next one is in the sermon there is this If you say, okay, there are parts of the sermon the next one could be the introduction, okay Like I'm sure most of you would have I mean you it comes to you naturally, but we just addressing it so that You know for those of us who have not really used to it You know, this can be one thing which they learn and put to practice. So So you prepare the heart and mind of the people to secure the interest of the people With the introduction so introductions are very short You know span of time it could be maybe three minutes. It could be maybe two minutes Maximum of five maybe So it prepares the audience. So whatever you say during the introduction it prepares the audience for the message It is it is important, but it's important that it It also should not be very lengthy Okay, the introduction goes on and on and on people are thinking Okay, when is he going to start the message and finally, you know, maybe after 15 minutes, okay So today's message is about and you already lost the you know audience they're like, oh So all that you spoke just now was not the message. Oh wow now It's going to be another lengthy message. So, you know, so keep it Keep it short. I need not be long. Okay So when you start an introduction if it is highly impactful People stay stay with you stay on to here. Okay So it's important that those opening comments, you know, what you're going to be speaking what you're going to be sharing It's it can be very very simple, of course But it can actually help people to stay on help people Prepare their hearts to receive Prepare their minds be receptive To what you have to say, right? So the introduction Okay So the good introduction will introduce the main theme of the sermon. Okay, so last Sunday, we looked at You know, we've been looking at the series faith and science In in in all the APC locations So it was about faith and science and the and the and the topic or the title for the message was can Science explain it all does science have Have it to explain all the things and all the answers the signs have all the answers to the life big question So so that is what we were looking at. So the introduction you know, we just talked about what science does what faith does and The signs have all the answers a very short introduction and then we went into the body of the message, right? They the impact of the introduction can even Have an impact on the The end of the message in the sense how people are receiving it Okay, towards the end are they staying on till the end are they in a place to receive? All that will depend on the introduction. Okay, so It will really help to prepare well We're gonna look at, you know, the end also Many times we prepare the introduction well, but then we the closing the conclusion Sometimes we just leave it, right? We just kind of trail off So what I've also learned by experience is that the conclusion needs to be thought of conclusion needs to be played through and You know, what are you going to do with it? Ask God, how do you want me to finish? Right. So that's also important. Okay, so To use all so you can use creativity you can use variations You can use illustrations You can use quotations personal experience You know, I'm sure you've heard some people start by saying, you know, as I was preparing as I was in prayer Some people start that way or as I was on the way to the church or some people start with humor Okay, with a joke with a good joke and that also helps people relax Maybe people are all, you know, kind of stressed out or they're preoccupied with different things. You can also start with a Good joke, but the problem is if the joke falls you know, if people do not get the joke and They don't laugh then it's going to be double the effort to recover from that place And get back onto the message.  Do you are you okay making jokes or is it something very very foreign to you? Right something that you're not comfortable with then think twice You do have to do something that you're comfortable with don't get into that territory of you know Humor at all For the start. Okay. So it can even be poems. It can even be short stories. It can be the text of the sermon itself Okay, these are some suggestions, you know Let me just see if I have a poem That one of the speakers I know noted it down because it's very interesting and And he has many Poems like this about God's word Okay, about the word of God and he shares that during his okay here it is Okay, so he has that You know any every each of his messages. So let me just read it out to you. Okay, so it's called My precious old book and it's by dr. Chris Nyanakan Let me read that out. Okay, this is how it goes though the cover be torn and its pages be worn and Places bear tears traces of tears Yet more precious than gold is this book worn and old that can shatter and scatter my fears as I prayerfully look in this precious old book many treasures and pleasures. I see Many promises of love from my father above who is nearest and dearest to me This book is a guide is a friend by my side. It will lighten and brighten my day And each promise I find soothes and gladdens my mind as I preach it and teach it each day To this book I will cling of its worth. I will sing Though many crosses and losses be mine for I cannot despair Those surrounded by care while possessing this blessing divine Okay So I've heard like two three He's got two three of the same thing and then he actually He's a brilliant orator. So he actually says it by heart. Okay, he doesn't have notes I mean notes for this particular thing here because he has notes for the outline, but this he just Goes out from his heart and it's a very, you know, you can't help but hang on to every word It's very moving. It's about the word of God and what the word of God means to him and and so on like so Something like this like you could have an anecdote you can have a and and try it out Okay, so you make a note of it. Okay in your outline introduction. Okay, how are you going to start? You know you saying you're talking going to talk about The love of God Are you just going to say today I'm going to talk about the love of God Are you going to think creatively and introduce the love of God? Yeah, right talk about it. So think about it pray about it. It doesn't have to sound Artificial Okay, it needs to be natural It doesn't have to sound Very gimmicky, you know what I mean like like a gimmick like a trick thing and so When it sounds very gimmicky when it sounds very contrived, you know The audience sometimes feels very insulted, you know, it's like a what is this person trying to do? You know, they're not kind of respect me.   If it's a young Young group. It's a youth group. You can just basically start with an activity. Okay, everybody stand up Right or everybody try touching your toes something like that. You can start with an activity And that'll that'll go well and hopefully you're tying that activity to the you know, whatever you're sharing. So It just flows together. Okay Sometimes Reintroductly comments are required. Okay.   So It'll help if you say something about yourself. I'm so-and-so. I'm doing this and maybe the person who introduced you Just introduced your name and said, okay, this person is from this place and he's going to be sharing or she's going to be sharing the word so you might have to Introduce yourself say a little more about yourself. So that would be a pre-introductory You know that face, right stage where you share something say make some comments Thank people acknowledge and then you go on with a message Okay Everybody okay with that, right? Fine. So you make a note of it. You've got the title. You've got the thing and you think about okay How am I going to present this now? Okay? Okay, then we have the proposition. Okay now Before we get into it. I just want to say this is a guideline Okay, this is a guideline now. It has all these parts. This is a guideline and It'll help if you have this But not necessary Okay, so Definitely the title the introduction those things are mandatory Okay, now what we're going to look at are some things which will give shape to the outline will give shape to your message So it'll help. Okay, so it's not like chapter inverse. I need to have a message like this It's not like that. You know, this is the proposition. So what is the proposition? It's a declaration about the subject. This is what we want to discuss. This is what we want to look at This is what we're going to cover in the next 30 minutes and so on. It's it's just one statement about the Main theme. Okay, so You know post the introduction you could just say make a note today. We're gonna look at five things That move the heart of God Something like that, you know today you're gonna look at five things. We're gonna look at six things you know that are Detestable to God's heart or something like that, you know the the main theme Of what the message is so it's like a it's a proposal. It's a proposition that covers that Okay, so it's the big idea. What is this whole message about? It's this so when you make that proposition It would cover that right, okay? So here are some guidelines, okay? So this is this big idea which you're talking about which you're Stating it covers the entire concept of the sermon. So the thing is to think out. Okay, what is it? That I am actually presenting it's very difficult actually to you know to Summarize everything, you know to come compress everything in one sentence. It takes time And what is it that you're going to cover in this in this message, you know, for example, okay? I'll just take some Example from here. Okay, let's say Destroying the foundation. Okay, that's a sermon now pick and then youth and violence is the sermon title which Isaac has put down so so in one line I Need to be able to You know summarize and say today we're going to look at This this this about the young people in our generation What moves them the environment that you know Etc. I'm just saying what moves them into violence? What triggers that? How can we? you know help and how do we contribute to that with our indifference whatever and What is the solution? We're going to look at that and you need to kind of it'll help if you can word it in the right way Put it in a way so that it covers everything and then people Okay, I'm curious now. I need to be looking at I need to I want to know more about this right sorry, so So it gives the big idea. Okay, then the sermon is the Explanation interpretation application That you draw from this idea Okay, so whatever you want to share What are you going to be giving? From then on right is is going to be the the fleshing out of it the descriptors of it Okay, so let's look at two essential elements in the statement of an idea. Okay, one is a subject Which answer the question what am I talking about? Simply put Okay, so for us to come to that proposition put together the proposition this question would help us Okay, what am I talking about? Okay, and the second question is what exactly am I going to say? About what I'm talking about. Okay, you get it So first one is what am I talking about? Okay, you present that what exactly am I going to say about what I'm talking about? so this will help us form that you know the big idea and And state the proposition. Okay Now the second one is it's connected Now we've stated the proposition. We have stated the big idea now we need to move on to To the sermon, you know actual sermon to the outline of the sermon so Normally, you know, we would say something like something to transition from here to there Okay, which could be maybe a question. Okay And I'll know, you know, so you can ask a question. So what is it? That really causes this problem and you go into that, right? So it could be a transitional Sentence. Okay, again, it's a guideline It's something that you can use So you can say, you know, why does This happen in our times. Why is it that more and more? You know homes are breaking down. Why is it that this problem is there in society today? right something like that and You know what when you know, you can use those into the interrogative words why what how when where think about that and use it as a transition sentence from Transition to transition into the outline Right. Okay. So there's an example here Like for example, let's say the title is an exemplary ministry and it's from on this one is to Talks about okay, this is how it one one needs to be Etc. The servant God servant of God has to need is have asked to have this qualities, etc So the proposition could be this the big idea is this The servant of God has an exemplary pattern or an example for his ministry in the word Okay, so if you need an example if you need a pattern, it is right there in the word You're holding it in your hands then an intruding interrogative sentence that can be Or the transitional sentence could be what are the characteristics of this pattern? What are the characteristics and where can we find them and then you go into that? So the transitional sentences according to one person on is to now these are you know, this is things that we do naturally, right? We don't Think about this too much. But the reason that we are looking into it is that You know, sometimes we miss out on it Okay, sometimes what happens is we we could miss out on it and it will help okay Is my message having that it'll help to think okay How do I transition there because it helped it helped the listener because we're taking the listener on a journey We're taking the audience on a journey and it'll help them to make that transition transition quicker And we're doing all this because we don't want anything to hinder the listener from the city Okay, we're just removing all the roadblocks. We're making sure that it's all smooth So the impact is is high impact is better right strong. Okay So then we go on to the outline of the sermon. Okay, so the outline What are some of the The main thoughts so the outline has some main points outline could have some sub points to those main points So it's good to get those get that out the outline organized Okay, so So how does one do it? You know, many people have different methods Some people just keep writing down Okay, okay as I pray as I meditate I get this thought I write it down Okay, as I pray as I meditate. Okay, there's some new revelation about this I you know, you write it down and then you categorize it. Okay Put it together. That's one thing. It's a bit chaotic right, but That also is fine Or it's very structured right from the start. Okay, you're thinking Lord, okay God what next what next or next? What are those five things that I need to share? Okay? I have only one thing here as a main point Are there anything? Can I share anything more about this this main thing that I've shared? Maybe three more things that I can share within that main point. What is it Lord? You know, you're waiting you're asking God and then you're reading and then you if you okay This is something that I need to share So you could have n number of main points and also sub points, right? So be mindful of the time here when you're putting together Just be mindful of the time that is been given to you For example, if it's I like let's take ten minutes that we're going to consider for our assignment Presentation so you need to be really clear what you want to speak on because some of the difficult messages are When you have those three minutes four minutes and what is that one thing? What is that? What are the two things that you want to talk about and you have one hour? It's like you can you can talk about whether this You know what you had for breakfast everything and then you can still you know share But then when you have limited time because whatever you're saying has to be impactful It has to be that one thing or those three things that you want to talk about, right? So be mindful of that so For example this ten minutes thing so you be mindful of that. What are those things about the title? What is it that I I just I can't talk about everything? It's practically impossible I can't talk about everything that people need to know about the subject but today. What can I emphasize? What is this? What is it that God wants me to you know highlight or emphasize underline these three things? So that it's just come to that, right? Okay, so an outline helps us organize our thoughts gives it definite structure and so There is a logical sequence Okay, when you have an outline now, I've you know, I've heard people without an outline also, right? And I've been blessed really completely blessed because each point is some random point I don't know if you've heard you know any message like that each point is it's like they're taking a walk You're good taking a walk in the garden and then suddenly they say hey look at that bird. Have you seen that bird? Okay, come let's go further. Look at that tree. Have you seen that tree? You know, it's like a journey of discovery, you know, it's like you're just walking in the garden walking along with them and then it's one point after another point one revelation after another revelation and And and then the walk comes to an end and you're blessed with a lot of revelation, you know, you're edified in the spirit It's like wow, I've received so much today Right, so it can happen that way also But You need to be careful, you know Because it can also people can also go away saying what I know that person said a lot of nice things But what did he actually say nothing is you know staying because we did not use any methods To help people retain that, right? What they said what you said so Keep the attention an outline helps us to keep our attention focus on the message on the passage of scripture Helps us to communicate it and also serves the dominant big idea. Okay, so the outline is the blueprint It's like the blueprint like when you're building something Constructing maybe a house or a hall or something you have a blueprint. Okay. This is where the window goes. This is where the doors go This is where This room particular room is this weather, you know, so it's a blueprint it shows you exactly where things are and it gives a clear picture and You know, so so it helps you as a speaker to communicate things well It it helps you to flow from one place to another to another place When you have the outline So also the thing is that To be open Right to be flexible To the prompting of the Holy Spirit, you know, you have the outline so the outline should not be so You know, at least in our minds, you know Our the way we look at the outline should not be so watertight That there's no place for There's no place for God, you know, it's so structured. It's so the thing that is it God You know, if you want to say anything else, I'm sorry, you'll have to wait till next time You know, it cannot be so Inflexible and rigid. Okay, so you give some space. Okay, God What is it, you know, you have the freedom, you know, they have received everything from him, right? Even everything all the thoughts and all the points and everything. So he has a freedom and the Lord will surprise sometimes so He has a freedom to do that move and shift things around and sometimes, you know, the emphasis on is on the third point You're just staying there, but you feel the anointing you feel The presence of God so strong in that one particular thing. Okay And maybe you can move on faster the other points, but the third point is where you feel that God is actually doing a work Right in the audience and he's really emphasizing and bringing it home to the audience And so you stay don't fight stay and maybe you just might have to mention the other points But but the discern it well It's not like you like that third point so much or you like, you know That story that you always wanted to share about that third point so much that you're hanging in there, right?  Okay, so main points sub points. We looked at that. It helps to present the truth systematically logically So here's the thing, you know never arrange an outline and Then try to get a passage and try to get a topic and then, you know somehow push and pull them It tricked into that right stretch it into that, okay Some more practical things Outline is like the skeleton of the sermon. It helps you to it gives shape It gives structure to the whole body of the message, right? Unity order and progress it should exhibit So The thing is it should help us To line up all the points on the subject and give us that continuity Okay Originality is this is good when you're outlining You know, you will there are in nowadays, you know, you see there's so many outlines so many message Outlines and then, you know, even in our example we shared, right? There are many examples that we have seen so far about the message but you you know, it's up to us to really wait on God and It's not like we cannot look at other Messages and and learn from borrow from, you know other messages learn from other messages and And maybe the Lord wants to share some of that as well But but really you be sure you you wait and see, okay God, what is it that you want me to like share, right? Okay, so that is about the the outline The outline that we are going to put together as the message Okay, so you have points you have some points As they are in the outline. Okay, so we've looked at the topic. We've looked at the title We've looked at the proposition the big idea you looked at the transitional or the interrogative Sentence that helps us to transition from the big idea from the proposition to the outline of the message Okay So in the message now as we are talking about a main point or any sub point It is good. It is helpful if we can help illustrate it Okay, so when we say illustration it is to bring focus or bring Explanation Make it clear Whatever statement that you're making okay, so you you give maybe a life example for example, and then use you state a life example, you know, I mean you state Maybe an anecdote maybe a story to bring home that particular point Okay, maybe an observation. Okay, this is what I saw and and then it relates to that particular point and you're explaining it So illustration is just a picture, you know, when you say illustrate, it's a picture It's a you see something and it's it's clear and An illustration tool should help us in that. Okay So the thing here are some guidelines for illustrations also, okay Illustrations should explain and clarify the truth Okay, so if illustration is a good story But it's not really explaining the truth Then we should drop it It just remains a nice story, but it's in no way connected to the truth. Sometimes that happens, right? We we just think oh, maybe I should just share the story and then you share the story and then you're wondering oh now I don't see the connection, right And the audience is also wondering where is the connection we share the story Where is the connection between the story and the point? You know, maybe it had something But the audience is also confused. So it should help Illustrate the truth. That's the point of using So it should help nail down of truth impressively illustrations also help our memory. Okay, the Lord Jesus used illustrations, right? What kind of illustrations did he use? Anyone to share about certain truths. He used illustrations Sorry Yeah, absolutely. That's the first thing that so he used parables and you know that a parable is a Earthly story which carries a heavenly meaning. Okay, so the parable of the lost coin The parable of the lost son or the prodigal son, so it carries a very very You know a strong spiritual truth. What is that truth? Something is lost someone is going in search of that which is lost and When they when the someone finds that which is lost there is great rejoicing Okay, and When we when we look at how the Lord Jesus starts by these parables He's talking about the father's heart And so people are asking you know, why does this person spend time with Sinus? Why is he spending time with you know, don't he doesn't he know that they are all sinners? Why is he spending time and so in response to that? Whatever they were thinking in their hearts the Lord Jesus gives this parable the lost coin the lost sheep the lost son and He's talking about that. This is the father's heart the father wants to go in search of that which is lost and There's great rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who depends So I'm sure Like how we remember the truth today None of them would have forgotten till they're dying day Every time they every saw a coin Maybe the every time they saw you know, they are always reminded of this truth And so also the parable of the soul every parable, you know, it carries you can vividly picture it so going sewing You can picture it right so Illustration should actually help aid in that. Okay, so It should clearly illustrate the truth. Okay, illustration can present the truth without veering the listeners. So that's the beauty, right? So I remember, you know, we're going for some of these short-term Bible colleges and There the people were not really useful sitting and learning and so Especially post lunch session We lunge it's hot And everybody's like, you know dosing off So every time there is a story you can see that everybody's eyes are wide open They're all listening there. They want to know what is the saying what happens to this guy? But every time we go back to the notes everybody's, you know back to their dosing off So the thing is this that It actually helps Helps present certain truth and it gets the attention of the person and they're not veeried by it Like you're not veeried by some of the concepts. Let's say you're talking about a concept of you know, maybe you're talking about What should I say okay laying on of hands or maybe you're talking about ministry and kingdom principles and all that it helps to have certain Anecdotes or something that they can relate to In order to understand the concept, right? So illustration it should it will help Make the point without bearing. Okay Illustration should be understandable. It should make sense. Otherwise, there's no point Illustration should be appropriate to the theme right it should be convincing that you can't say something just for the sake of You know having those those kind of situations It should be real and convincing at the end All right, and it should be used at the right place at the right time. No That's very very important. Okay. Is it used in the right place in the Sperman and at the right time. Okay Fine, so we'll stop here. We look at there's there are some more, you know points about Illustrations, which I think are very useful for some of us, you know who I who really want to share stories You know, I have that kind of a thing. So I need to be careful. I I've made some mistakes here in this area. So I need to be careful So we're going to look at some more guidelines about illustrations and then and then we'll move on, right? Okay, so those of you who have not yet filled in that sheet. I'm talking to online students You can do that e-learning students. Please present your you know the sermon topic entitled just put it on the discussion Thread right. Okay. Thank you so much. God bless. See you again. Bye. Bye
