Okay. Good morning, everyone. Welcome back to another class. Shall we just begin with a word of prayer and then we'll begin with that class. Could one of us please lead us in prayer? Any one of us please lead us in a time of prayer? Thank you, Lord.  Thank you, Lord Father. This time, O Lord Father, as we get to know, O Lord Father, Lord Jesus, about the history of Lord Father, Lord Jesus, the martyrs of Lord Father, Lord Jesus, in Christianity, O Lord Father. Thank you, Lord Father, Lord Jesus, the passion and compassion the people have showcased, O Lord Father, over the period of time, O Lord Father, they build the foundation, O Lord Father, on which we can stand today, O Lord Father, Lord. We give you glory for all of this, O Lord Father, and as we learn more of it, O Lord Father, Lord Jesus, open our heart and mind to receive it, O Lord Father, Lord Jesus.  Thank you, Father, Lord Jesus, for you are gracious unto us, in the mighty and much-less name of Jesus, I pray, amen. Amen, amen. Thank you, Anitha. Okay, so let's continue from where we picked up yesterday. Yesterday we looked at how God raised up reformers within the church. Now, remember the background that we shared, the backdrop was the Roman Catholic church is taking prominence, is taking power. There was immorality, there was sin, there was idol worship, wrong kinds of teaching. Relic worship, praying to saints and all these things had come up within the church. The reading of the Word, the ministry of the Word, the work of the Holy Spirit, all the genuine move of God had been suppressed. And we saw that the Roman Catholic church was against people from reading the Word or studying new churches. They were against all of this. And so that did not cause an end to the church. We saw yesterday that God raised up such wonderful leaders, John Wycliffe, John Huss, Savon Rolla. All of these people, Ulrich Wigley, who went on to Switzerland and did a wonderful ministry. Martin Luther, who gave his 95 thesis about the grace of God and we're justified by grace and not through any works. And so we saw all these wonderful things, wonderful people who are willing to give their lives for the sake of the gospel. Another interesting thing that we also looked at was God raised up leaders who were highly intellectual. So it should encourage us to pursue a greater level of knowledge, greater level of understanding. Yes, we always say that God chooses the unqualified and makes them qualified and all that. That's good. Yes, he does, but that does not mean that we stay unqualified. He expects us. And when we look at, for example, William Tyndale, he was so brilliant in his studies. And they all had comfortable lives, living in different countries of the world. They didn't have to take up this. They didn't have to have the burden for the church and write and then put their lives on the line. They could have done anything else and been successful in that because they were very well off. But we see that the Lord used them and it's so wonderful that they were willing to give their lives for the sake of the gospel. And what William Tyndale did, he translated the entire Bible into English from the original Hebrew to the Greek, sorry, from the original Hebrew to English and the original Greek to English. So in one of his quotes that we looked at yesterday, he said that, I will make sure that even the plowmen in the fields will have their own Bible to read from and study from. And so God was still moving. The Roman Catholic Church, the Romans together, all of them were trying to suppress the work, but God was raising up these leaders. Let's continue on on page 37 as these things are happening. If you picture it in your mind's eye, you can see that the enemy is working, trying to suppress the work of God. But here we're also seeing that God is working even more powerfully. So it's like the Roman Catholic Church doesn't know what to do. What can they do?  Okay, do what you have to do. We will do what God is telling us to do. So it looked like the Roman Catholic Church was in power, but they were not because these people were willing to do whatever it takes to make sure the gospel reaches out to many people. And so this is where the start of Protestants came into being. A Protestant is nothing but somebody who protested the work of the Roman Catholic Church. They protested against all these kinds of doctrines and teachings within the Catholic Church that was happening at that time. So let's continue to look at the lives of few of the leaders, reformers who began to, again, continue to do greater works within the Church even though the Roman Catholic Church was in power. So let's look at John Calvin. I'm sure many of us may have heard of John Calvin. Now he was a devout Catholic, a young man, extremely brilliant. He studied in the University of Orleans and he was very attached or he loved the teachings of Martin Luther. So he was able to study his books, Martin Luther's books, and he came to a conclusion that this is the truth. He was justified by faith and all of this and so there was a change within him. So he began to become an evangelist. He went to different places, evangelizing, sharing the gospel and for many years he went about doing that and for most of his life he spent writing material. So he wrote plenty of new materials and he wrote about Christian history. So this is early 1500. So he wrote about reformers prior to him and the work that they did and so he was able to impact the Church in many ways. He wrote extensively. He made pamphlets. He made commentaries on the scriptures, especially in the New Testament and at the age of 27 he was able to come up with a systematic way of studying the gospel. So earlier on in our Bible college we had a subject called systematic theology many years back but we don't have that now. So it was basically the systematic way of studying the Bible and John Calvin was the one who came up with this and he carried many missionaries. He trained many people, many missionaries to go into different parts of the world and through him the city of Geneva was transformed. Now John Calvin is known for his, not sure if we may have read about him but he is known for his talks on predestination in Christ. So even if we read about John Calvin's books he emphasizes the predestination and also Paul writes about it in Ephesians chapter 1 verse 5. He says we are predestined in Christ. Romans 8 again he writes and he says we are predestined through the Holy Spirit. And so what he focused on was, John Calvin what he focused on was if we believe in Jesus, if we are accepted in him we are predestined to receive the blessings that come along with being a child of God. And so that was his focus. So he wanted to make sure that the believers know that we don't have to, once we are in Christ we don't have to come to his presence by any works. We don't have to cry and please God because we're already predestined in him. God has ordained that we would be blessed when we are in his kingdom, when we are partakers of his kingdom. So he was able to do a wonderful work as well. Again John Calvin his ministry was short-lived. It was only three years of evangelism but as I said Lord of his work was writing commentaries and his books went all across through different churches and it was a blessing to him, to the churches as well. But he died of old age. He was not martyred but he died of not old age. He died of a sickness and so he lost his life very early. But the impact he made was really great. And following on John Knox another wonderful, wonderful man, a very bold preacher and God chooses him to reform Scotland. Now here's the picture again. Let me draw a picture or let me paint a picture for each of us. You've got the center which is Rome and then you've got churches all across the world. Like what we saw in the second and third century church. So everywhere there is church. There are churches. But there are also Roman influences in all these places because the Pope is the leader of the church. So when I'm talking about the church I'm saying the Roman Catholic church. So there was Roman influences everywhere. So in every part of the world, whether it is Africa, whether it is England, whether it's America, whether it's Europe, wherever Asia, there was Roman influence. So it was not like okay you go to this country it's going to be easy. You can do whatever you want. The Roman Catholic church would make sure that they will try and we studied about it. They would capture them and try to get rid of those who are trying to do any good work within the church. So here God chooses John Knox for Scotland. Now John Knox is known for his bold praying. He's a very courageous man.  Give me Scotland. It was a time when Scotland was completely in a mess. In the sense there was the spiritual morality was down. Churches were following a religious pattern. There was immorality in the church and outside the church.  And of course he was a Scottish clergyman and he was a theologian. He began to read. He began to write a lot of effort in studying the Gospels. And what he did was John Knox would begin prayer movements, small prayer movements, few people and they would gather together and they would pray. They would spend time praying for days and days and days for hours together. And finally, you know, some kind of revival happened. Thousands of people started coming into the church. Now when I say thousands of people, it could be, you know, people from the Roman Catholic Church understanding, okay, this is what it is. This is the true gospel. I need to go here. I need to understand. And it could be people from other faiths as well coming into the church. But together, thousands of people began to come into the church. And, you know, it is said that the Queen of Scotland has said that I don't fear the armies of Europe, but I fear John Calvin when he kneels down to pray. So that was the effect, sorry, John Knox when he kneels down to pray. So John Knox was able to reform Scotland. Right? Just as something was dying, God raised up somebody and, you know, brought restoration there. Then we see in France. So now we saw in Scotland, now in France, the Reformation, that is this whole thing of, you know, you don't have to, you should reform from the Catholic Church and be true to what the Word of God says. So this Reformation began to make inroads into France. Right? Now, the idea of Reformation in France was very good. People accepted it, but even though people accepted it, there was intense persecution. Roman Catholicism, you know, they suppressed the work of God. They suppressed these people. And what happened was the French Protestants were even more, you know, they took one step ahead in the sense they said that God is everywhere in the Scripture. The Holy Spirit has given us gifts to all of us. And so there is gifts of the Holy Spirit. You can speak in tongues. There's working of miracles. You know, there is visions. There's prophetic utterance. There's supernatural phenomena. All these things should be, you know, present in the church. And there should be the power of the Holy Spirit within the church. Now, after seeing all of this, you know, I can just picture the Roman Catholic Church says, we need to get rid of this whole thing immediately. Because they've taken it one step ahead, not only teaching of the Word of God, but here now the gifts of the Holy Spirit, additional things happening. And so through this, France was impacted very powerfully because of, you know, the gifts of the Holy Spirit. There was science, miracles and wonders. It is said that something similar to the first century church happened in France, if we study of the early 1500s.  Sick people would come out of hospitals and stand outside and wait for these preachers to come and pray over them. Because these preachers weren't allowed inside the hospital.  So such was the move of God in France. And so a lot of people began to call these, you know, French pastors and leaders and these reformers as French prophets given by God. So again, we see that God is continuing to do a work there. Right. From there we go into John Fox. Now John Fox was in, from Boston in England. And just before the reformation began, you know, it was during the time when Martin Luther had posted his 95 thesis in Germany. And John Fox, what he did was, he's known for his book, Fox's book of martyrs. He was able to write about those who died in the, you know, in the fourth century, fifth, fourth century church during the dark ages, during the reformation, those who were martyred for the sake of the gospel. So he wrote this book, Fox's book of martyrs. And it's a classic. It's even available now. I remember when I was in Bible college, many years back, I was getting my hands on this book, Fox's, John Fox's book of martyrs. And it really stirs you up because of, because what we are doing now is just an overview, but in his book, he writes about, you know, the challenges that these missionaries and reformers faced and how they were able to do a work and how they, that death did not deter them one bit. They were not afraid of it at all. And it was really encouraging to read that book. And so he wrote this book, Fox believed that Christian history has to be continued on from the Old Testament as well and had to be documented so that people know, like even the very fact that we are studying church history now, so many years later, you know, because it's important that we as ordinary Christians or we need to know the unfolding of how God's plan is and how God uses certain principles in building up his kingdom. So that was John Fox's ministry of writing about history and the martyrs of the old. Now, in after a couple of years, something very important happened, right? King James came into power. Now, this King James was what he decided was he said, okay, why is all this happening? Why is this so much of bloodshed? Why is there so much of, you know, disagreements and arguments and wars between each other? Let us resolve this. The whole issue is the Bible and, you know, within you Christians itself, there's so much of war. Why all this? So King James being a Roman influenced by the Roman people, King James, he said, okay, let's make an end to this and how long are we going to, you know, hear the Catholic Roman Catholic Church is saying, you know, we are in power. The Pope is the leader here. The other side, there are some people coming up, writing the Bible and doing some great works of God. And then these people are killing them. And it's all looking so bad. So let's try and resolve this matter. So King James, he summoned a meeting. He said, okay, representatives from the Roman Catholic Church and all the other groups, right, whatever groups, Anabaptists or Anglican or Protestant or whatever method is, whoever is there, everyone, representatives come and we will solve this problem of religious intolerance. And so what he did was he got everyone together and a person named John Reynolds was kept in charge to preside over the meeting. And long story short, what they decided was, okay, we will write what is important in the Bible, right? We will translate it. No commentaries, no additional notes. What is important, right? So what they did was they chose five translations, Dindale, Matthew, Coverdale, Great Bible and the Geneva Bible. So these were five translations. So we will take these five translations and we will compile it together, taking only what is important, no extra notes, no additional points, no commentaries, nothing. Just these five versions of the Bible. And we'll have a group of about, I forget how many people, but I think it's about 40 people. Somewhere around 40 people. And so everyone will be assigned certain books and they will go ahead and translate these books. So they came up with this whole idea and so this work continued for two years and nine months. Now after this, they came back together and they said, okay, let's look at it. Everyone were happy. Everyone said, okay, this looks good, but this should be made available for everyone. Even every Christian should be able to get this one. So King James said, okay, what we'll do is we will replace all the Bibles that have gone out, all the translations and we will make this the King James Bible, named it after himself, even though he didn't know anything about it. King James Bible will be replaced by any other Bible that's there around. So now this is a big moment in church history. The King James Bible is printed and replaced in the main churches and also later on he said that we will also make these Bibles available for everyone, whoever is a Christian, whoever wants to buy these Bibles can buy it and study it. Now this was wonderful, right? Because now the people, the lay Christians could freely go and get a copy of their Bibles. So they didn't have to be afraid, whose version do I buy? Should I buy this version? Should I buy that version? They can just buy the King James authorized version and that's how the King James version came into being. Of course, the one that we read now has many additions gone through, many changes, many word translations and it's interesting. You remember the prayer of William Tyndale in, you know, we studied about it, the great man who translated the Bible from Hebrew to English and Greek to English. He said that, you know, I will make sure that even the plowman will have a Bible and he was martyred for that. A few years later, about 80 to 100 years later the Bible is made available for each and everyone where even the plowmen were able to go and purchase a Bible and use it for their personal needs. So, you know, and the interesting thing is they also, now later on as the translations took place they also considered William Tyndale's version and they refer to that also to make improvements to the King James version. So the King James version would be the version, the standard English Bible for the next 350 auditors and as I said there were small changes made but then even those changes were not like made just random person chosen. No, it was a whole committee which came together, they saw it, they read it, whatever changes were made only if it was approved it would go on for printing. So this was a great year for the Christians. Now some of us may wonder, at least I wondered so what about the Roman Catholic Church? Did they go against this whole thing of getting the King James version authorized? They had no choice because the King is saying King James was in control, he was in charge there. I'm sure they would have thought, okay, why are we doing this? It's the Pope who's in control, nobody should get the Bible. I'm sure they would have tried and gone against this idea but you can't stop the work of God. If God decides something, as I was reading this, I was reminded of in the Old Testament, God chooses a heathen king to rebuild the temples, the temple of the Old Testament. So God here chooses a king who has no idea probably what's in the Bible. He just wanted peace in the place that he's living. He just wanted things to just get back to normal probably and so he said, okay, let's come up with this but it's wonderful that this happened. So for the next about 350 odd years, people had their own Bibles, they could have had Bible studies at home, the churches began to flourish, many groups were formed. Of course, there was Anglican, there was Methodist, there was Protestants, the Quakers, different kinds of groups were there. Now there were, I would say there were challenges with these groups. Each of them had different thoughts and ideas but the main point was everyone had a Bible. So they could go back to the Bible, read and see if they're in line with God's Word. Now if we get into deeper church history, it is during this time that new kinds of thoughts, new kinds of revelations came up with, people came up with, where people said they were the incarnate Jesus. Some people came up saying that I was the incarnate of, there were few women during those early 1700s who claimed to be the incarnate of Mary and so all these ideologies and wrong teachings did come up but what was a safe thing was people had the Word of God so of course not all of them went to the Word and looked into the Word and made sure that things were right but some of them just followed blindly but the Word of God was available for all of them. So from here on, it doesn't mean that now the Bible is out so everyone are fine, everyone can just follow and... No, so God continues to raise up leaders, God continues. When we study this, it reminds us of the Old Testament. God continually raises up prophets. So there were phases, there were good phases and then there were bad phases and then there were good phases, there were bad phases. So even when we read through all through the Old Testament, you've got these phases of certain kings where things went well and then certain kings where things were just very bad and so the same way in church history, this was a good phase, 350 years, good phase. So what happens after this? A person named George Fox and he was a founder of a group called the Quakers in England. So John Fox was from childhood, he had this desire to study more of God's Word. He would spend a lot of time personally praying and he wanted to experience God. He didn't want it to just be a form of religion and so what he did was he wanted to experience the manifestation of God's power like the Holy Spirit working in him and what he did was he began to write this book called The Book of Miracles where he wrote about the accounts of miracles, healings and charismatic gifts and persecutions and all these things that happened and as he began to write this, many of them took to this writing and said yes, we need the manifestation of the Holy Spirit. Now that we have the Word of God, we need to ask God to manifest his spirit among us so what he did was he would start meetings, prayer meetings and Bible studies and it is said that in his Bible studies people began to receive healing. People began to experience visions and dreams and prophetic utterances and all the gifts of the Holy Spirit began to manifest and this generation came to be known as a generation of the charismatic phenomena. The 1600s began to be known as the charismatic movement and this Quaker's movement began to spread like wildfire. So everyone wanted the gifts of the Holy Spirit, maybe for good reasons or for bad reasons but so they started spreading. Everyone wanted to be part of this. Everyone wanted to see the gifts of the Holy Spirit speak in tongues and see miracles and all of these things and so what he did, John Fox, was he raised up 56 traveling preachers and he said all of you go and whatever we have studied, whatever we are doing here go preach it in different parts of the world and so within a couple of years there were about 60,000 people pledging allegiance to the Quakers. Now they did not go against the Word of God, they did not teach any wrong doctrine but their emphasis was more on gifts and prophecy and Word of knowledge and healings and all of it which is good, nothing wrong about it but what happened was the teaching of the Word slowly declined and we will not go into what happened to the Quakers later on but there was a move of God from England the move of the Quakers went into America and also went into Europe and thousands of people began to go through this whole charismatic phenomena so it is here that charismatic Christians gave birth but they did not know it was charismatic the Word was not something that they knew earlier on just for our study calling it they were the charismatic Christians and so from here on comes the 1700s now the 1700s we would say is the most powerful times in church history the most powerful times because God raised up such wonderful missionaries who impacted the world and even now their names are written in church history they are written in bold because they were great great men of God and these were all normal simple people who God used and so let's look at some of them the early 1700s saw the first great awakening in North America now when we use the word great awakening we will see the first and the second and third great awakening too simply means that an awakening of the church an awakening of something that is dead like our reformation an awakening of something that is already there but it's sleeping so God used two great men in the great awakening in North America so during the 1700s there was a moral decline there was a spiritual decline there were series of wars that were happening all across the world shortage of churches, no ministers, no people coming into churches many existing churches itself were the institutionalized church they had no power and there was nothing happening it was completely like a dry dead situation one of the main reasons was because of war there were constant wars that were happening during that time and so people were seeing death people were seeing lives being killed they were seeing war in their own eyes and so it probably demoralized them so what is the point of going to church or what is the point of praying and when we are seeing death in our own eyes people dying, children dying, innocent lives and so the whole thing in North America the whole fervor of God and the move of the Holy Spirit was dampened because of this war now God raised up two wonderful men first one is Jonathan Edwards now Jonathan Edwards was the pastor of a church in Northampton just a few people in his church but he did something he began to pray he said God we need a move in North America we need a spiritual awakening in North America so what he did was he was in Northampton, North America, Massachusetts and what he did was he began to pray and he formed a team and he said they would all sit down and pray for an awakening intense prayers day and night there were times when those prayers would go on continually for days and eventually an awakening poured out from there suddenly people started to experience the move of the Holy Spirit suddenly people started coming to church and then in a year or so thousands of people started coming to the church in Northampton in Jonathan Edwards church he began to preach on repentance he began to preach on heaven and hell and combined it with the grace and the mercy of God and people would flock into the church actually read about this great awakening it is said that in Jonathan Edwards church there were only about 200 odd people who could fit in the church thousands of people would come and so he had a difficulty and he began to look out for places they had many services people would leave their work so for example people were working they would stop working and they would go hey why Jonathan Edwards has come to preach and so there was this intense desire of knowing God's word then he towards the end of his ministry he wrote this wonderful and the most famous sermon the sermon outline is available on Google you can read it it's called The Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God and this was the one sermon where it is said that hundreds of people except Jesus because of that sermon now history says that Jonathan Edwards he looked as a very ugly looking man he had big boils on his face he had a big nose with boils on his nose short and stout and his preaching style was said that it was very boring because what he would do was he would write his sermons down and he would come in front of the congregation and basically read that sermon now before that we see that people like William Tyndale John Calvin and all these people John Wickliffe, John Hust they were so filled with the Holy Spirit the way they preach was so much of empowerment and they were passionate about their preaching but Jonathan Edwards was not so he would just read his entire message so he used to read this he read the message Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God said that people sitting in the congregation felt that hell was opening and they were running away from that place and they were running towards the altar to give their lives to Christ he was just reading the sermon so it was not about how well he preached or what are the examples he used but it is about the Holy Spirit that worked inside him and Jonathan Edwards did a wonderful, wonderful ministry in North America thousands, thousands of people the great awakening in North America saw more than 30 to 40,000 people gathered in churches what was dead no churches, no ministries now North America is flourishing with 40, 50, 60,000 believers when I say now is when the time Jonathan Edwards came so what he did there was an awakening of the church so I was really encouraged with this man because Jonathan Edwards he did not depend on eloquence of speech he did not feel that okay I need to of course eloquence we need to we as pastors and those who are serving here we need to prepare our sermons we need to do well practically make the right sentence construction preach with intensity but that's not priority right if some of us may feel that I can't preach like this person or I can't preach like that person the way they give examples the way they are so emphatic in the way they give their message it's not about the physical way of giving out the message it is the power of God that is at work that will change lives so never feel that I cannot do that none of us should feel that okay I'm not like them God has used you in your own special way like Jonathan Edwards there was nothing good to look at him it is said that he would put his candle near the altar during that time and he would because his eyesight was poor the lights in the church were not bright enough for him to read his sermons he would put his candle and he would go right face would go right into his notes he wouldn't even look up there were times that he would look up and he would see that everyone on the ground crying and weeping and mourning but he would just continue to read his sermons how is that? that's the power of God right so I want to encourage each of us let us not ministry go after the the whole thing of being stylish and not preaching how people should appreciate it it's not about people it's not about the way we preach but it is about the work of the Holy Spirit Jonathan Edwards spent hours and days in prayer that's why when he went on the pulpit even though he read a sermon people were falling on their knees crying and weeping and so that should be our desire another man that God used was George Whitfield he was also a wonderful man he was a friend of the Westleys he was a gifted preacher and a communicator unlike Jonathan Edwards he was not somebody who was denominationally prejudiced which means he didn't say okay I'm from this Methodist or Quakers or I'm an Anglican nothing even though he was an Anglican he did not look at denominations now he traveled extensively across America everywhere he went shopkeepers farmers people who worked again closed their shops they shut down business and they went to the hall why George Whitfield has come George Whitfield is also history he says that he was a short fat man very unpleasant in his looks and very cut off in his speech but people would stop their work this man has come and he's preaching there so whether they were Christians or people from other faiths they would go and Whitfield preached to thousands 30,000 people at one place 40,000, 50,000 people there was this one time that you know this happened in church history where George Whitfield was supposed to go to a place and preach and the auditorium was 30,000 sitar and they thought that okay they should be able to get about 20 to 25,000 people who should come for the meeting that town had only about 70,000 people who resided in that town so they said okay maybe 25,000 people could come but what happened was when the word went out George Whitfield is preaching 50,000 people came the entire city the town was empty right the town itself was empty where's everyone gone everyone has shut down business why George Whitfield has come and 50,000 people yes as Tarun has mentioned no microphones now we've got all the microphones and 50,000 people can hear no microphones so what they would do is they would rush into that place because they want to go in front they want to hear and here's the amazing thing I also wonder maybe some of them couldn't even hear what he was saying but the move of the Holy Spirit was there people were convicted and there was this one time you know there was a stampede kind of place and few of them lost their lives and it was then when George Whitfield said we need to be more organized we need to we thank God for what he is doing but we need to be more organized so then they got in structure okay let's make a maximum let's do some kind of thing where the first 20,000 or the first 30,000 people will only be allowed in the morning in the afternoon and in the evening so people would choose and so that way there would be no difficulties George Whitfield preached more than 3,000 sermons all across America 3,000 sermons and more touching many lives again North America was awakened by the move of God so we see that God used these two simple men one to them not very good in their looks or the way they were but both simple men are powerful in the Holy Spirit and then what happens is in Germany we see that God uses this man named Count Zinzadov now he was a reformer just like John Huss and Germany began to experience the work of the Holy Spirit of course what they did is they replicated what happened in North America of spending time in prayer, personal prayer and all of it and this continued on this prayer movement continued on for 100 years and this birth many missions, many missionaries many pastors were formed in Germany so there was this revival in Germany as well okay let's quickly do the Methodist Revival just an overview and then we will close now the Methodist Revival happened in England we know John Wesley and his brother Charles Wesley basically how it was founded was both were in college they had a very deep desire for the word of God and to preach the word and so it says that John would tell his brother Charles we have a break now in the universities when they both were studying they would say you play a song Charles would play a song and John will come up and preach and so they will do that Bible study group in the college in the universities few people would come then they started from there it went outside the campus from 6 in the evening to 9 so Charles Wesley would lead the worship John Wesley would come and preach and so this happened every Wednesday and Friday and once a week they would have communion but all of this was happening it was growing but John Wesley was not satisfied so he said I want to go to different places and minister he went to another place in Georgia he went there nobody accepted what he was preaching it was a failed missionary journey and then after that he returned to England and he found an assurance during a small prayer in a church he accepted Jesus again as his personal savior he calls it his second experience and then we know that John Wesley did a wonderful ministry preaching more than 50,000 sermons and traveling more than 250,000 miles on horseback finally doing so much to the Methodist church starting the Methodist movement the reason they were called Methodists because John Wesley was very very methodical in the way he conducted his services so we'll pick up from next week is it okay is everyone okay with this is it too much information I know we've been doing so many people is it okay is everyone okay with this are you able to you know take things okay good it's very

by Erica Jeff. It's here as well. He is working on an awesome that we're also working on an awesome this and you guys have been with us through the entire process. Hope you can hear me. But today is UTC. Now, UTC is nerve wracking to me mainly because I want to make sure that I get the measurements right because math is hard. And it's apparently really easy to mess up. So I'm going to tell you how I do it. And then you can decide if you want to try or not. Today we are doing UTC gloss. You may or may not believe me, but this word right here is hard to find if you don't know where it is. And it doesn't say that on the part B because the part B goes with either the gloss or the mat. Today we're doing gloss. I don't know if you said that. But yeah. So this is the inlay to keep people from going in and out of the bar. You know, we need because they don't want people behind the bar. So this is going to be inlaid so that there's like a door but not a door because the bar top of the door. Anyways, so we're going to use these. These are fourth inch nap rollers. These happen to be six inches long. I don't think that part matters, but the nap definitely matters. You don't want a lot of high fibers so that you don't have a lot of texture because this stuff is bad about leaving texture behind if you're not careful. Also you want to get as much fuzz off of these as possible. So we always pre-roll them on some masking tape and actually get pretty aggressive with doing this because you don't want any fuzzies left behind. I'm picking up some. I'm going to need your help after I mix the UTC and everything. Anyways, I went ahead and de-shedded those, but I wanted to show you for practical purposes what that was. In case you read de-shedding your roller and was like, what? Also something else, but I forgot. If you happen to hear Bowie in the background or beautiful song being sung, he's getting groomed right now and he gets impatient and wants to get down so you may hear him and his groomer is a sweet lady that sings to him when he gets nervous. Pete, did you want to add the middle that are the paint pen? Did you want to go? So this is two to one and for every ounce you have mixed of this, you want to add a half ounce of water. So I'm going to have three ounces total, which would be two ounces of this, one ounce of this. And so if I math that right, I'm going to need an ounce and a half of water. I hope that's right. Also, when we put this decal down, it brought up the middle of the A and the R. So Jeff is just adding those back in. Not as perfect, don't know how, but it was good. Well, I'm so glad TG. What's up, Juliet, Clara, Melody, Betty, Vamp, Christine with K, Sandy, Susan, everyone. So happy to have you all here. So it is nerve-wracking to do this because if you don't do it right, then you essentially have to sand it all the way back down to your flood coat because it'll leave a texture. Now I also hear that you can get an atomizer, which I have rondos over there, and mist water over it and re-dry roll it to kind of bring down some of the texture. But hopefully we won't have to do that. What's up Regina? I think it'll be fine. It'll be fine if you don't. Yeah, so you want to scrape it off? Yeah, we'll pull it off. There's alcohol in here if you need it. So yeah, if heat warms for the next six days, you all be careful. What's up Nancy? Casey, how are you doing? I hope you are doing pretty well considering. So we're good with this. You don't want to wipe any more off of it or dull it. We're good. Okay, so we're going to start mixing and I'm nervous. I'm scared. Super nervous. Super scared. So what we're going to do, because it's two to one, which means two parts of one and one part of the other. And if you're not sure which part is the two and which part is the one, the biggest bottle is always the two. So this has different, it's exactly the same color now. So the instructions on this were made when they first released the UTC I believe and it's changed since then. It's necessary that resin part A is mixed separately prior to combining with part B. Materials may settle at the bottom of resin. Why do they call them this resin? I have questions, UTC people. Anyways, I am not sure if we're supposed to shake it or not. So we're just going to gently shake this and we're going to do two ounces of this. Why am I so nervous? But I'm fully nervous. Okay, I've got two ounces there. Boop. I think this is more nerve-wracking than messing with resin. There's so much finality to it. I can't. I'm going to put it in there. Is that going to be enough? Well, and the water and the ounce of this I have to put in there. Okay, we got two to one. This is going to be too much. So if you have anything you want to have this on. So you're supposed to mix this together before mixing the water into it. So it says mix thoroughly for approximately two to three minutes using a stir stick. After thoroughly mixing add up to two percent of water for thinning the desired consistency. So this stuff is pretty thick. Like it's like glue. It may be even thicker than glue. So the working time on this is not a lot. It doesn't say on here, but it's like 20 minutes. Avoid overrolling as this can cause unwanted bubbles or roller marks. Keep all moisture away for 48 hours. I don't know what that means other than don't spill a cup of water on it. Dry the touch in eight to nine hours. And then you can fully use it like as a countertop after two days, which is amazing. So it is like 15. But when we did that countertop at Artco, I'm sure we used it way too long. You know when you used it too long when you're rolling it out and it's already, it stays opaque. Virginia, yes, I already de-shedded the rollers. And we're still trying to figure out a way to put this through an airbrush because I think it can be done to be honest. We're trying to work it out to where there's less texture because it almost looks orange peely, but it's not an orange peel, but it almost looks like it. Just like with resin, don't forget to scrape your stir stick and the sides and the bottom of your cup. Also, I like to have the water pre-measured because when you have something that's got this shorter working time, you really need to have your ingredients prepared. So this looks more like a roll-on-able fluidity. Is that right? We'll say that's right. And now this looks like heavy whipping cream before it's whipped. That's kind of the consistency of it. It's almost like acrylic paints, right Swamper? It's nerve-wracking to do UTC. I don't care what anybody says. Okay, I have forgotten that I need to lightly sand this with a 220. So we're going to use a 320. It's a little something. Don't sand off your... Oh, maybe the other side that has the alcohol on it. I just splashed on myself. Sorry, I didn't need to take a shower anyways. All right. So after we get that wiped off, I still feel like this is really thick comparatively. I'm just going to add just... Yeah, she did. I'm just going to add a little that was the exact amount of water I added. If you can add a pinch of salt, then I can add a boop of water. All right. Just want to make sure this is fully incorporated. Then we're going to put it in the rolling thing, and then we're going to roll it on, and then we're going to dry roll it. So you have to use a wet roller and a dry roller, and you have to only use the dry roller until you can hear it go. How does it go? And that means that there's too much. It's... You're saturating your dry roller, and it is now a wet roller, so you need a new dry roller. Because what you're doing is picking up some of the product that you're putting down, which seems counterintuitive, but that's the rules. So that's what we're going off of. So I have a clean this already prepared, and I'm going to just pour my this in here. Just like that. And I may even just turn this upside down so it can further drain. So this is what it looks like right now. You can also just use that clean press and seal to line your rolling thing things. What is this called? Yeah. A liner? Yeah. No. All right. So what is the liner in? You want me to put it down? Yeah. I need you to put it down. Pick it up when I'm putting down. Oh, babe, that's like super thin or thick. I know, but I put the amount of water that it said. That's not Rhonda said you can add water.  I can put more water in there. According to the instructions, I used the proper amount here. She said you can add more water. So just don't. Yeah, rolling tray. But see, that phrase has a lot of Rhonda kept adding water after the exact amount to okay, I feel better. That's what I remember at our co. But I have more, if you think. So like loaded up. Yep. And then you're supposed to go both ways. So it looks really, really white now.  You can see some of the texture from the nap of the roller right there. And also, I'm going to let Jeff tell you about this handy trick of how to roll on stuff without leaving lines. But he's not there yet. He's probably going to do the edges before he does that. Or should I foam roll the edges? Like in the crevices? We did the edges of the one in the bar. So essentially, you have 15 minutes to apply the UTC. So what he's doing now, he said it's not rolling. Okay. So what I'm doing is I'm basically putting pressure. I'm putting pressure on this side right here on the, like I'm pushing at an angle like this down. So you can see there's that line, but there's not one here. You have a hesitation. So by doing that, it feathers the front side. I think you should be going over this right now. I'm going back the other way though. So now I'm I'm literally like, I'm just trying to Okay. So you're trying to what? I'm just trying to get it all equal. The lines need to be taken up with what you're doing. Sorry, y'all. That looks great. You're adding more pressure than I did. Which is fine.  So he's If you see any lines, it will show. So do you want to do this way? Okay. There's definitely a line there that's going to be visible. See this line here? That's because he and I were, he and I were using different amounts of pressure to dry roll. And so it left a white line. And if you can see it now, then you'll be able to see it when it's dry. So you really need to go, you can only go back over it so many times. But if you have to go over it more in a bit, then use an atomizer. We need to get the If you can see any texture in it now, then you'll be able to see it after it's dry. It looks good. And so this will dry clear. And you will still be able to see some of that ripply texture, but it'll settle down a bit.  I already hung the tape back up. So Jeff wants to go over it with another dry roller to pick up a little bit more. We also have, should I atomize it? This. So if you need to extend the amount of time, get an atomizer, which is water that goes out in a mist. It's not a squirt bottle. It just is like that.  I'm just missing over it slightly. We didn't escape. There we go. Did you, did you shed it? Okay. So you can see that ridge where he's pulling more of the product off. And I think this also makes it. Hello, they're still minded. I'm going to see if she needs something from me. So here's the mic. That looks good. You want to hook it to yourself? All right. I think we're good, y'all. Let's see what y'all are saying. Detection at the front door. I think I need to switch my contacts out. So I'm working on a different, how does she have this on here? She has her phone attached to this. I'm doing a different graffiti piece. So it's going to be a big, not big, but more teeth than normal. You could see it's going to be like a snarl. But I just kind of put some fun colors up there. Hopefully it'll be a little bit brighter and better than the last one I did. Oh, this looks great. I like it. I think it'll be a okay. That's so cute. How the dog groomer sings to Bowie every time. So does anybody have any questions or thoughts or blah, blah, blahs? Erica is in there right now talking to the dog groomer. Thank you, Susan. Yeah, it's the place is awesome. The place is called Deep Ellum Art Company. And we are going to have a show there in October to December, I believe, in November, something like that. I'm really stoked. I'm going to have to change my contacts. All right, I think this looks good. I'm stoked. The only thing I worry about is should I be worried about if it looks maybe heavier in places? I want to keep going over it. And then like, I know it's still going to be, but it's kind of sticky. It's kind of hot in here. I don't think she has the air on so that we're not like throwing a bunch of lint and dog hair on here. We'll see. I'm nervous. Melody, I want to say the cure time is it's got to be a couple hours, right? Or like, you shouldn't touch it after like 15, 20 minutes, I believe, and then wait 24 hours. Erica should be right back here. She's leaving the dog groomers leaving. God, we had to do four layers of resin on that big graffiti piece with a neon because it kept getting hairs and stuff in it. Oh my gosh. It drives me crazy.  Oh, that reminds me, I need to clean my airbrush out. And there's Bowie with the zoomies. Come on. He's got the zoomie. Can you hear him? Okay. It's drying. We applied it perfectly. Let it dry. It's already starting to clear up.  Okay. Bowie, what are you doing? He is so excited about his new haircut. Silly boy. Yes, Casey, you take your time healing. So yeah, this is what it looks like. It will cure more clear. Those little white areas will clear up as it dries. And we will take it up to its new home tomorrow. And then this piece goes to its new home tomorrow. Glassy, glassy. People ask us all the time how we keep hair out of our pieces. A lot of times it comes down to doing something like this for our larger pieces, but we're going to work on a dust-free zone for our larger pieces as well. Also, moment of truth. We're going to keep this one a little more simpler, I guess you could say. I'm going to just do a solid black line for everything. See? I'm just going to do a solid black line for everything. Just a good, you know, a good nice solid black line for all the detail.  If I don't like just the solid black line for everything, I'm sure I'll put a nice shadow in here. Working on a bunch of different pieces. No, that wasn't Frisket. It was contact paper. And get at Home Depot. Homey Depot. We're working on that. We're working on this. Do we need to see them in their new homes? Yeah. So this one is going to Deepellum Art Co. And so we'll do a video of that. Also, if you're here between October and the end of the year, you can see an art show that we're going to have at Art Co. And then this one is also going to live in Deepellum. It's going to where? Oh, Oak Cliff Social Club. Not Deepellum. Oak Cliff. Where do you get your shading gray? I cannot find it. I get mine from our local art supply store. It's golden. You can probably get it from Blick. You can use this. Yeah, you can. This is a good, this is just a really different, it's a little darker, transparent smoke by ComArt. This is super forgiving because it's so light. So it's, it takes a lot of layers, but that's how you get a realistic black and white portrait. If you are trying to do that, you would start with this and end up adding this just so that it gets it darker and darker, and then adding a little bit, maybe transparent black to really get the dark parts.  You can get it at, if you have an ASL art supply store near you. I don't know if, if Jerry's does. I don't, I don't know if they have Airbus stuff. I looked at last time, but didn't see any. You could get Creotex, but it's really thick. So I would. Claire just added a link to it on Amazon. All right, you guys, I got to put out some orders, but I just got shipping notifications for color passion and color obsession. I expect just resin to come in around the same time. So hopefully we'll get all those in before. What's coming up? Is it Labor Day? No. Memorial Day? Okay. Whichever one of those days is coming up the first weekend of September, hopefully they'll be in before that. So that is what our chameleon UTC inlay looks like. Labor Day. Thank you, Susan. Days are hard. Anyways, you guys are amazing. I got to go clean up an entire puppy worth of hair out of Jeff's bathroom. Probably because he got brushed out. So there's probably a whole puppy in there. You guys are amazing. We will see you guys tomorrow night at 6pm central for another live. No idea what we're going to be working on, but it'll be art and it'll be awesome. So I hope we will see you guys here. Be kind to one another because you never know what someone's going through. Are you talking about the spray paint? Transparent black spray paint? Montana? So try gerryzartorama.com, blik.com. They may have the transparent from Montana. Just look up graffiti shop in your area or graffiti shop or head shop or skate shop or skate shop. All those would be good places to go and look at spray paint in person. All right, you guys. Casey, you get better. Many hugs to you. Vamp have fun. Walking your dog, rolling, getting pulled by your dog. Just vamp down, okay? Look, it's already getting you more clear. Anyways, y'all are amazing. We'll see you guys tomorrow at 6pm central. Bye. Oh, be kind to one another because you never know what someone's going through. Oh, so you don't have to. We'll see you guys tomorrow. Bye.

Bart Cohen's house Filming real quick a workout. I'm gonna get a workout in filming for the barbeau gate channel And then we're heading to barbeau gate because now I got a seminar first seminar of this style where Only having like 20 or 30 people and I'm gonna try to get like Shit, maybe 10 minutes hands-on with every single person there where I've done a similar like that kind of back in the day But majority of them are so many people that we can't really straight coach even this one in New York from the past vlog You guys saw that We lifted we answered questions. There's probably 120 people and I Wanted to go help and coach But then everyone in pictures or personal questions or whatever so I kind of got crowded into a corner where Coaching is is my roots. That's what I do. So tonight should be fun helps some people squat Bench dead a little bit better I'm doing pause squats. I am Rambo didn't pause squat. I'm doing a pause I'm lifting with that the Asians to loan Cool little workout at Bart's house I'm not feeling quite myself in the gym. Although I hit a decent PR last week. I'm just tired I mentioned a little bit in the past. I deal with some anxiety here and there So keep me up at night or wake me up early. It's been going on for maybe a week or two.

Nadine's in there finishing up with Bart I just gonna need to recoup Personally mentally a little bit because now we have the seminar in about an hour And I have to like turn it on again And I guess that's kind of what drains me as a human and some people can go go go and some people can Travel and be happy all the time and be energetic and be smiling and cracking jokes I mentioned it before, you know, I consider myself quite introverted where to me Introverted means that I gain my energy from being alone I'm I recover from being alone an extrovert people gain energy from being around people and that's how that's why people You know certain people go out every single weekend because they're they get drained during the week and they Build their energy back up by going out and partying. I'm quite the opposite. Although I'm a little bit louder and I may be social I'm very introverted. I like to be alone as much as I can to be honest So I'm gonna chill here for a little bit recoup.
