Carbon-based nanomaterials such as fullerines, carbon nanotubes, CNTs, and graphene oxide, GO, are emerging as promising candidates for developing novel antimicrobial agents due to their unique properties. These materials can interact directly with bacteria, disrupting their cellular membranes and metabolism, leading to death. Additionally, these materials can be used as carriers for conventional antibiotics, increasing their bioavailability and targeted delivery.

Oak School was a beautiful but rundown 1898 building in Flint, Michigan, with a file full of rehabilitation plans and no funding to complete them. Fortunately, the school became the first major project of Communities First Inc., a non-profit redevelopment corporation founded by Glenn Wilson in 2010. Wilson spearheaded a $5.1 million renovation that transformed the building into low-income senior housing with on-site healthcare and a rotating collection of library books and museum art. More recently, Communities First purchased the Swayze Court Apartments, significant for their connection to Buick and General Motors, and is in the process of creating 36 affordable units for homeless and special needs individuals. Wilson is also applying his knowledge of building reuse and historic rehabilitation funding to help develop the Flint master plan, with a focus on including preservation. In just six years, Wilson has set an example of using historic preservation as a tool to improve the lives of Flint's most vulnerable citizens and revitalize the city while retaining its industrial history.


So if we came up in some tough conditions, obviously you can hear the wind here and determine opponents this afternoon. Very difficult game, but we knew it would be blustery, horrible conditions at a real level. First half, we thought we were average at best, did really adapt to the conditions. Second half, loads better, had control of the game for long periods, had some good chances, weren't able to take them. But we came down here today with the aim of not to add that list of teams who'd gone out to low league opposition. And we've achieved that, we'd love to have achieved it with a win. But we've got the draw and we look forward to the return. Can you say we'll push you?


and another one. What's up people? Menard here coming to you with a video. This time we're going to be unboxing and reviewing a perfect art supply item that can also be used on a daily basis to take care of items that might need repair or mending. That item being a S-208 hot melt glue gun. This is anti-scaling silicone nozzle extended trigger, freestanding so you don't have to worry about where you want to put the thing and this is the product UPC code and it does has a detachable power connection that way you can disconnect it and take it to a location that you might not have a power cord and use it. Please note this is not a toy so please be very careful by using it. It feels pretty nicely made by the way and this is the forward pushing plunger. It has a light switch on the back, the power connector here and two settings. Please do note the silicone attachment thing in the front does not come off. Along with the glue gun you are given a power cord and also glue sticks to get you started. Pretty simple straightforward operation. Just connect the power supply then plug it in turn it on and the red light will indicate it is on and the glue stick goes right in the back and by the looks of it it can fit two of them for continual use and even if one of them is in because the plunger does go that far it will continuously get the job done and as you can see pretty quickly that's in 30 seconds the glue gun has started to work. What I normally do is I put a little bit of a dab in the front and just push it through that way it connects to the previous one and it has two settings you can turn it on and off and best part because you're able to control the heat with the on and off switch it is only going to dispense the glue you can control the flow at which the glue does dispense. Definitely a big thumbs up for me I'm really looking forward to using it for day-to-day use and while I'm working on my arts and craft project as always thank you so much for watching and I will see you guys and girls on the next video. Take care people. Bye.


Your actions on the road are your responsibility and my question to you is what will you do to make our roads safer? What will you do to stop the trauma? What will you do to enjoy more time with the ones you love? Every decision you make has the power to change everything. It starts with you. You can be the difference.


This week on Everybody in the Pool, Molly Wood talked to iFixits Kyle Wiens about the what right to repair and how it's important in reducing climate change. Molly, what are what are some of the things you were learning from Kyle? So Kyle pointed out, you have this phenomenal quote. He said, you know, we dig a mountain out of the earth every day to make smartphones one and a half billion of them every year. We make one and a half billion smartphones a year fewer than 20% of consumer electronics are recycled. So it's this kind of like, it's bad on the front end because it's super carbon intensive to make these devices and every time you get a new one, it had to be created. And then it's terrible on the back end because when they end up in landfill and the vast majority of them do, sadly, then they leech all of that stuff back into the environment.


Hi, my name is Craig Moss. I'm a director at the Digital Supply Chain Institute. We've been here at SAP headquarters with companies from around the world really trying to analyze and look at some of the challenges that they face and to look at a vision for the future. What is the supply chain going to look like in three to five years? It's going to be customer-centric. It's going to focus on customer happiness. It's going to have all the internal silos broken down. It's going to involve suppliers and customers and tier two suppliers and customers, customers, all of this coming together to collaborate, to make the ultimate experience for the customer's happiness. So people have asked us, members have asked us, non-members of the institute have asked us, so what are you doing that's of value? Well, how cutting edge is it? Why should I be paying attention to what you're doing? And we actually ask them, tell us the most challenging issues you have. Tell us the things that you're most excited about. What are the things, the game changers you see in the marketplace? Digital transformation is a very interesting concept. A lot of people think it's all about digitizing whatever you do today, but no. Actually, it's about making your process far different, far better, far more direct, far more intimate, far more close to your customer. And when you do that right and you digitize it and it becomes agile, fast, quick, and flexible, you really have something very special. For us, the great thing is to get onto the scene with the big guys. And what Digital Supply Chain Institute can give organizations the sizes we are is relevance to sit at the table with the big corporates and then to have an open floor for a dialogue, understanding exchange and maybe future connections in a sense of doing and trying joint projects. While every single supply chain professional loves the physical movement, the orchestration, the symphony of the goods, we do see that in the digital world it can get very siloed. It can get very choppy. The data is not there. But once we are able to actually digitize it, create a twin that follows the entire supply chain from design to manufacturing to logistics, and finally to actually monitor that product in its natural environment in the customer's hands, feed back the engineer with what can be done better and how it can be next, this loop can orchestrate digitally the same as physically. And only then can we truly unlock the data and we can go from making processes that generate data to data that then gets unlocked and can give customers additional value within the overall supply chain and improve ultimately the customer's experience with that supply chain. So by bringing together the small enterprise that has agility but maybe not reach in a physical sense with a larger enterprise that may have reached from a physical standpoint but not the agility from a digital standpoint, we're finding a tremendous spark that develops between these two constituencies. We are now an international company as I said before with operations all over the world and we are playing the big leagues and in order to play better we need to know what other companies are doing. We know that there are companies that are much more developed than we are in terms of digitalization and having the opportunity of talking to them, of sharing experience, it can be of a big help for us. It's actually rare that you get the CIOs, the CTOs and in some cases the CEOs of companies that are at the very leading edge of dealing with digital supply chain issues and you can get them all in the same room together for a significant amount of time where magic occurs if you will with people sharing ideas problems solutions to problems insights that you know you just couldn't buy them at any price anywhere. Considering that blockchain is a really new technology and that we do have a lot of use cases for blockchain but not very much use cases who have the chance to do an impact on scale. You need a framework, you need a perspective on what's important corporate wise not just within individual silos and the algorithm console helps you take advantage through governance of some of the transformational tools that are being developed and being put in place within your organization whether you're aware of them or not. So it gives you that awareness, it enables you to prioritize those and it provides a governance framework that transcends business use and the great thing is that the organization as digital supply chain institute is they keep you constantly engaged so it's not just a one-shot opportunity where you go to a forum and you know everything ends once we go home but the conversation is ongoing. So at this executive leadership forum one of the areas we covered was a digital supply chain talent model really trying to help organizations think through how they could attract and acquire digital supply chain talent how to build and develop that talent and then how to really integrate it into the organization so that we can achieve better performance and drive those digital strategies. We're not for profit we don't have the same motivation we're trying to do something that makes a difference for the business. So number one we're objective, we're fact-based, we're focused on results. Number two the people in this institute have both been consultants as well as operating managers people who've run things so it's a great blend of knowledge that we can bring that frankly a lot of firms cannot so it's a combination of basic research telling the truth and applied knowledge that makes a big difference to companies. For me one of the key takeaways on that is not really on how we get the data scientists in the areas of supply chain but how we can make really a team of people that make this digital supply chain work. Coming out of this event we're going to be working with companies to help them to accelerate their transformation to a more digital supply chain. We'll help them to break down those internal silos to be able to pull in data from suppliers and customers into an integrated format inside their company where they're able to really use algorithms to understand consumer behavior to better understand their customer and ultimately to pull it all together to create the happiest customers that they can.

All right guys, welcome back to the channel. If you're new, my name is Bobby. Today we're going to react to Funny Aussie Convert Story to Islam. I personally lived over two years in Australia and I can attest that Aussies indeed most of the time are very, very funny people. So I'm looking forward to see this funny Convert Story from an Australian citizen to Islam. Let's have a look. Basically my story begins in first year university. I had a year where I think a lot of problems happened to me. My parents separated that year. My dog died. That was a particularly tough day. Subhanallah. I had two car accidents in the space of one week and also sadly I had a friend pass away that year. I think that year led me to sort of ask some questions along the lines of why am I here? Why? What's the purpose of life? Why do I get up in the morning? Why do I even bother? Why don't I just sit on the couch, watch TV, Jerry Springer, whatever. And I think I started to ask questions about you know the purpose of life and that led me to start to do a bit of a holy quest. Naturally as an Aussie the first thing I did was investigate Christianity. I had a few Christian friends and I remember going to a church camp. It was one of the funniest camps I've ever been through in my life. Everybody was singing. I didn't know what the words were. I didn't know what they were saying. It sounded great. They had beautiful voices but it just seemed really strange and everybody was telling me how much God loved me and I was thinking God loves me, my dog died. So I kept on investigating Christianity and I went to a whole lot of I guess different aspects of Christianity. So we're talking about Catholicism, we're talking about Anglican Baptists, you know priests, pastors and every time I'd go there and ask questions I'd find that they wouldn't pick up the Bible and start to say oh this is the answer my dear brother. They would just start answering me, they would just answer from their own opinions and I started to realize that there was a lot of yes I can absolutely relate to this unfortunately within Christianity you get a lot of vague responses. In Orthodoxy you have more direct responses but even there there is a lot of wiggle room and it is not as dogmatic as you would believe. Of course they have certain aspects that will not change, they have no room for interpretation but certain questions will get answered with different opinions with vague answers with interpretations of this or that church father. Islam on the other hand is very very different here no matter what your question is you will get 99% of the time a direct straight answer. Interpretations of Christianity and a lot of people had their own interpretations and one priest from one church was believing one particular aspect of Christianity whilst another was proclaiming another. The Bible is one text but there seems to be so many different interpretations and it was confusing. At the time while I was in first year university I was also working in a service station one of my part-time jobs and one of my colleagues was an Indian Hindu and we'd regularly change shifts and at that time I was very inquisitive and I'd say dude what's the deal with the elephant head guy you know what's the deal with that you know why is that guy got an elephant head and he's like that's Ganesha you know this I said we couldn't you've chosen like a lion's head or something something a bit better we'd have you know these real really deep theological debates while people were buying petrol.  And I'd be saying yeah but why break it five bucks of gas thanks mate yeah no problems and again I found that that was very hard to stomach so I sort of investigated a little bit further I went into I had a good friend of mine was a Mormon and I found this religion actually appealed to me the most out of all of the Christian religions the the church of Latter-day Saints they were quite strict they don't drink alcohol they they don't drink caffeine so unfortunately coax out guys because I know Levos love coke but again you know there was that leap of faith I felt that I had to make to to embrace this religion and I found that you know I wasn't just into making a leap of faith I wanted proof I also investigated djundes and would you believe and my original name before Abel Bakker is Ruben so if you've probably seen all the movies you've seen Rubenstein at the end they probably thought I was Jewish so they thought this guy's you know one of us but again you know I just didn't find what I what I was looking for lastly I probably looked into Buddhism and I found that this was probably the interesting the religion that I was going to choose I thought look this is great you know there's there's so much you know people people at peace here they seem to be really switched on and they seem to be living one with the world and that's what really appealed to me but the more and more I looked into it I guess I realized that it wasn't a religion of God it was just a nice way to live um one of my friends yeah pretty much man it is much more lifestyle than a religion it is focused on the now it is focused on being it is focused on enlightenment theology but it's not focused on God quite the opposite there is no God within Buddhism one of my close friends who's a Christian would you believe said tell me the religions that you've investigated so I went through them I said you know Judaism Christianity Catholicism Buddhism Hinduism no no no he goes what about Islam Islam I got a terrorist I'm not going to investigate that religion they're crazy what would I even look at that religion but lo and behold I found myself walking into a mosque one day this is my eternal quest so I walked straight in shoes on straight across the railroad there was a brother praying I walked straight in front of him as he went to go into sojourn I stepped on his head subhan Allah I didn't have any clue what I was doing I looked over and I saw this brother you probably know this guy this is Abu Hamza he's come here in his lecture a few times um subhan Allah I call him Abu Dan because he's got a very large beard mashallah he came walking out towards me and I thought today I'm about to die this is the last day of my life I'm a dead man I'm a white boy in Leblanc what am I going to do here I'm dead he came walking across as though he just walked out of the Sahara desert the big big beard but subhan Allah the first words he said word G'day mate how are you going Aussies man he had the can of VB it would have been perfect subhan Allah I was very taken back by his uh by his welcoming nature um as Aussies I guess now I don't want to offend any Australians here but my my upbringing is from a country upbringing my parents raised me as an atheist they were raised as Christians they were dragged along to church every Sunday and they hated every minute of it so soon as we were born they drummed it into our heads that when you die you're worm through that's it there's no afterlife there's no god it's all rubbish so I was raised as a as an atheist so when I walked across and and I saw a Bahamza and he was strange for me to see man many westerners many white westerners beat Aussies beat Englishmen beat French people beat Germans they grew up atheist and for me as somebody from the Balkan growing up in Germany it was the strangest thing that the parents of the other kids wouldn't believe in God in a very polite fashion which I was very thankful for because I was sure I'd send him on the five o'clock news hijacking your plane the day before Aussies are hospitable don't get me wrong but Lebes are the most hospitable people I've ever come across and as the brother Hamza was saying these brothers were making me cups of tea you know and I honestly needed to keep going to the toilet every five minutes they just kept putting tea in front of me biscuits I'd never seen anything like it and I think to some degree I kept coming back for the biscuits but also for the religion so when I sat down with these brothers I actually started asking questions I asked all the questions that I've asked of of the priests of the pastors of my friends and subhanallah the thing that really struck me is that every time I asked the question they wouldn't just answer they would pick up a Qur'an and they would say read this bro read this and there was the answer every single time and I would ask another question yep this was very amazing to me as well as I said in the beginning of the video in Islam 99% of the time you get a clear-cut answer you know the hard questions not the easy questions why do women have to wear the scarf why why the hijab how come I can have four wives and she can't have four husbands you know I wanted to know all the tough questions which is the first questions I guess you ask when when you come across Islam but lo and behold they kept on answering the questions with the Qur'an not from their own opinion and I got frustrated with this and I actually said to one of the brothers because by this stage I think I've been going there for about a couple of weeks there was always a few brothers there when I went and I said to one of the brothers I said you know what's your opinion on the matter why won't you give me your opinion and one of the brothers turned to me one day and said how can I have an opinion when this is the Word of God subhanallah I remember that really hit me so I asked him if I could take a Qur'an home and I didn't say I was going to use it to chalk up the couch or anything like that I said I was going to respect the book so they took it home I started reading it what I found was while reading it I wasn't as though I was reading a story it was though I was reading someone commanding me you know someone giving me guidance and one night I decided to really try and get the spiritual mood happening and I'm sure probably some of you have heard this story before so I apologize I'd lit a candle had the window open had the curtains drawn you know I was trying to get that really spiritual feeling it was a nice summer night in Melbourne a summer as I can get in Melbourne and sitting there thinking this is it you know this is the night I've been you know investigating all the spiritual proofs all the scientific proofs about the fact that the mountains are the pigs about you know how how the embryo develops inside you know the woman all these amazing proofs but I still needed that little push it's like I was on the edge of a cliff I was ready to jump I just needed a push so I was sitting there it was very quiet I was reading Khuddam and I stopped I said hello this is my moment this is the time I'm about to jump into Islam all I need is just a sign just a little sign nothing huge maybe a bolt of lightning you know maybe half the house could fall down or something you know just small small for you man you created the earth come on so I sat there I was waiting for the candle to start blighting up to four meters high like in the movies and I go okay go and it's a panel on nothing absolutely nothing happened I was really disappointed to be honest so I sat there and I said Allah this is your chance yeah I'm not going nowhere I'll give you another chance okay maybe you're busy you know I know it's daytime over the other side of the world there's a whole lot of stuff going on maybe this time it could just be like a car backfiring you know something small all right the half the house the candle let's forget that a bird could fart outside I don't care just anything so I said okay go and so panel on absolutely nothing happened and I mean I couldn't have even said that was it that creep just then in the wall that was it absolutely nothing happened I was really disappointed I was gutted I was sitting there thinking this is it you know this was my last chance Islam and and I really I haven't found it I pulled back the Quran I turned back to where I was reading it's a panel of the very next verse on the next page for those of you who asked for signs have we not shown you enough already look around you wow man look at the stars look at the sun that's a goosebumps water these are the signs for the people of knowledge wow I threw the dune right over my head and I pretended I was asleep I was that scared because I couldn't believe how arrogant I'd been to want my own specific sign when all the signs have been there for me all along the fact that we have this world the fact that there is this creation these are the signs for all of us this reminds me of a meme that I once saw of an atheist sitting in nature and asking god for a sign and he's sitting there for 24 hours seeing the sun rise the sun down seeing all of the beauty of nature and still asking god for a sign the next day I decided this is it I'm becoming a muslim I've been investigating Islam now for probably about six months to be honest I went in and I said to myself this is it I'm going to make sure head that I had no idea what I had to say I had no idea what the words were it was probably close to e-shad prayer so it would have been you know seven eight o'clock at night I went in and I couldn't believe it there was about a thousand people at the mosque I thought so well look at this religion look at how strong they are it was the first night of Ramadan but nevertheless Ramadan or not if you look at the state of churches at the moment of Christianity you will of course see way way fuller mosques so they are thought to say that the Muslims are stronger than the Christians at the moment would be still correct so I sat there and I was very nervous I must admit I got up and this person's going to me you got to say these words bro ash had to I'm going what ash what can't I just say it in English now they say no you got to say in Arabic and I thought I looked out over the sea of beads that I could see in front of me and I thought if I get these words wrong I'm a dead man again I had this fear you know and they were staring at me and I don't know if you know this but Australians can't stare Lebanese people can stare so I was sitting there I was very scared I got up and as soon as I started to say the words all fear went out of my mind it felt as though a shower was inside my head and someone had just turned on the cold tap felt like I'd been flush clean I said the words and I wasn't expecting so many brothers to come up and and start kissing me and hugging me now I'd never been kissed by that many men in my life but it was a beautiful day I must admit and that day was the day that I had more brothers than I could ever ever imagine more sisters as well but I guess since that day I've never looked back my family I think initially were very worried that I was going to be I guess a little bit weird towards them that they thought that I was going to break out the AK-47s and the grenades but they realised I think soon that this religion was actually making me a better person prior to Islam you're not going to believe that I had a mohawk I did I had I'm not going to show you any photos I had army greens I had the metallica t-shirt I had the cherry docks I was shocking right I thought I looked great but I looked terrible and I humbly ever since then I look as good as I do now no don't laugh please but my parents were the first people to actually say to me once which really amazed me they said my father actually asked me for a career and recently which I was really happy about I always thought he'd be one of the hardest people to to work on but he said to me ever since you've been a Muslim you've been a better person you're more reliable I can count on you to come and pick me up if my car breaks down whereas before I got there I was drinking last night I don't know if it's still out of my system all right guys and this is it for today's video definitely a funny story a classical funny Aussie delivery here reminded me of my time living in Australia this is how I got to know the Australian people they always like to joke they always like to have a good time that being said for me personally it is very very interesting to see other westerners that have converted to Islam he said that he researched Islam for roughly six months before he converted I personally have researched Islam for roughly two years by now and I'm still digging deeper into the religion still trying to understand it fully or at least as much as I can why that is I already explained plenty of times but I'm aware that not everybody watches my live streams not everybody got the mammal during my lifetime I explored many many different ideologies different religions different substances different spiritual practices different sports even all kinds of different fields where I dive deep head first into the subject matter and accepted it as the ultimate truth just then to realize a few years later that it wasn't the truth at all and this is why mainly I haven't converted to Islam people ask me what else do you need to know about Islam guys honestly it's not really about Islam I do not even have so many questions left when it comes down to Islam there are certain things small things but that's not the main point it's not about Islam it's about myself it is about knowing myself and understanding what I've done in the past for example when I went vegan I jumped into veganism accepted it as the truth and I stuck with it for four years straight now I'm anti-vegan I hate veganism I would never recommend veganism to anybody quite the opposite but if I rewind now and I look at myself at the beginning of my veganism I was a completely different person I was somebody that accepted veganism as the truth I believe that I found the truth by looking into slaughterhouse footage into industrial farming and I believe that I can never unsee this this is what the vegans claimed once you see the truth you can never unsee this but then I looked further into it I researched further into it and I found out how flawed it is how wrong it is how bad it is for our health how bad it is for the environment etc etc you name it and the point of the story is that I do not want this to happen to Islam therefore I have to urge you yet again this is not only about myself speaking in general if you see people on YouTube that are researching Islam you shouldn't push them into it because they truly have to make that decision in their heart and they truly have to be secured in their decision I heard some numbers I do not know how true they are about the 50 dropout rate of new converts that means that 50 percent half of the people that converted to Islam will drop out of Islam and this definitely not a good look for the religion either if you look at the catholic church what they are doing at the moment is absolutely outrageous they're opening the doors for everybody even for the community why do they do it because they want more members in the church but this is not the right approach if you want more members those members if they are weak will destroy the whole movement therefore you should be much more selective by recruiting people to Islam the people that enter Islam must have such a firm conviction such a strong conviction that they do not leave the religion but rather become strong representatives of that religion and this is why I'm taking my time all right guys but this is it for today's video if you liked it leave

Okay. Good morning everyone. Good to see three of you, the early birds. Can I ask you little to lead us in prayer, please? Okay, sure, Pastor. Thank you. Let me pray. Father God, we come before your presence in the name of Jesus. As we begin our class of prayer, that Holy Spirit, you will enable us to receive what you have today for us. Lord, you bless our pastor. Thank you for the grace that you have given to her to teach us and also Lord, I want to thank you for each one of our fellow classmates. I pray that Lord, you will give us the spirit of wisdom and understanding so that we can understand your work, Lord, as pastor teaches, Lord, we commit our life, our time, everything into a caring to Lordship in Jesus' name. Amen. Thank you, Salatoli. So on Wednesday, we were looking at the doctrine of the Holy Spirit and we completed that. We looked at the gifts of the Spirit and how the gifts of the Spirit, the manifestation of the Spirit, and we looked at different aspects of the gifts of the Spirit. Today, we'll begin chapter 9, the doctrine of the church. Okay. So what is the meaning of the word church? So what is, what idea comes to your mind when you think about the word church? What is the meaning of the word church or what the idea comes to your mind when you think of the church? The body of Christ. Okay. Church is a body of Christ. Yes, Lubega. Two or more people gathered in the name of Jesus Christ. Thank you. So and to what more people are gathered in the name of Jesus, then we call that as a church or like Salatoli said, church is the body of Christ. Anyone else? What do you think about the word church or when, or the word church or when you think about church, what comes to your mind? What are different aspects that come to your mind? Any more thoughts? No more thoughts on the church. Okay. So the Greek word for church is Ecclesia and Lubega says church also consists of past, present and future believers in Christ. Okay. So what do you mean by consist of past, present and future believers? It actually means that a church is a, as we see in 8 in Matthew 18, verse 16, where he says, your petros, it's on this petra that I will start my church and the powers of Hades will not have control over you will not prevail over you. So it actually means that from after when Jesus went on the Pentecost 50 days after his resurrection, the church started like that 120 people plus the 3000 like that, like that, like that and up to now we're in billions.  The following, the quick and like that faster. Thank you. Yeah, very good. I mean, that's a good way of thinking Lubega. I mean, I was quite taken aback when you said past, present and future believers, but when you explained it, it brought more clarity. Thank you for that explanation. Good thoughts and thank you for sharing. Yeah. So the church, the Greek word for church is Ecclesia and Ecc means out of Ecclesis means a calling or to call. So basically it means Ecclesia means called out once or those who are called out of something into something else. So it's basically called out or a calling out of, okay, because Ecc is out of and Ecclesis is a calling or to call. So it is a calling out of or to call out of, okay. So it was basically used among the Greeks for a body of citizens who gathered to discuss the affairs of the state. So all of those who were the part of the Greek culture when they used to, the citizens is to meet to discuss the affairs of the state. The gathering was called as the church. So in its literal sense, the word church simply refers to a gathering together of those who've been called out for a definite purpose. Okay. So it simply means that those are gathering of those who've been called out for a definite purpose. So who are the called? When we say that church is a gathering of those who are called out of for a definite purpose or we say that the Greek word Ecclesia, Ecc is out of and Ecclesis is a calling or to call. What do we mean by we say, you know, called out? So who are the called? Who are the called? Is it specific people that God has called? How can we define this word called? Born again believers. Okay. Thank you. It's basically those who have responded to the heavenly call. Those who have responded to believe and put their faith in Jesus Christ. So it is those people who are the called again and they called out. So when we say called out, what do we mean by that? Okay. Lubega says the called are those believers in Christ who have confessed their sins and baptised. Yes. Thank you. Who are the called out? I mean, what do we mean by called out? We're basically defining the church, the word church. So we're saying the church simply refers to gathering together of those who have been called out for a definite purpose. So we're trying to define each of these words in the definition. So we said called are people who responded to the to heavenly call, or we can say that people who are born again believers, people who are believers in Christ with confessed their sins and baptised. So who are the, what do we mean by called out? Called out means people basically who have been called out of darkness into God's light, called out of sin into righteous, to being righteous, to being justified, to being holy in God's sight. People who are called out of the world into God's heavenly kingdom. Okay. People who are called out of being slaves of sin and Satan, to being sons and daughters, to being children of God, to being a part of God's family, to being called the family of God. So called out are basically people who come out of the world. Okay. So we see that we are called out to gather together. So the word here is, you know, as we're defining the church, it is a gathering together of those who are called out. So the called out are to gather together. So what does it imply? What does it tell us about the church? When we say that we are called out to gather together, what do we understand by this phrase? For me, I think there are people who have dedicated their life for the service of the Lord. Those who have dedicated their lives to service the Lord, because there's a fellowship with the Holy Spirit. Thank you. So we are called out to gather together means a church is a place where people gather together and it's not just about individuals. So it's not about me, me, myself. It's not about my preferences, what I like. It's about, you know, sharing with others, caring for others, supporting others, putting others ahead of our needs, putting people above us. Okay. So it's calling of people to gather together, to worship God and not just as individuals. And the last phrase we can look at is, we're called out to gather together for a definite purpose. Okay. So we saw what is called, we saw what is called out, we saw what is called out to gather together. Now we're looking at called out to gather together for a definite purpose. Now what does it mean? We're called out to gather for a definite purpose. Any idea? What does it mean when you're saying that we are called out to gather together for a definite purpose? According to my understanding, like Like we are called out to fulfill the purposes and plans of God over life and over the church as a church. Thank you, Zealotoyi. That's good. Yes, we are called as a people, as a church, as a, you know, a church community together or as a local church, not to fulfill our plans, our visions, our goals, but it is to pursue God's heavenly purposes, his plans, his goals that he wants to establish in our city, in the region, in the geographical area, whether the church is the local churches or the church together as a local community, as a community in that specific city, nation, region, area to bring about God's purposes to fulfill his plan and purposes for that region, for that city, for that nation or for that geographical area. So it is us who are called out together, and it's not for us to just do things that we like to do, what we feel like doing, but it's to basically do what God has planned for the city or for that specific region or for the neighborhood, for the geographical area in and through the church. Okay, so that is basically the definition of the word church. Now, if you notice, as we're going through the lesson, there will be some things that I've added in. So it's not part of your notes, you would want to take down notes for yourself, you're welcome to do so. We look at the important truths about the church, which is the body of Christ. Okay, so the first truth is the church is Christ's body. Okay, it's, we see this in Colossians chapter one versus 18 and 24, and Ephesians chapter one was 22 and 23. So can one of you please read Colossians 118 and 24 and someone else read Ephesians chapter one versus 22 and 23 please. Colossians chapter one versus 18 and he is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the first born from the dead, that in all things he may have the permanence. Verse 24 for I now rejoice in my sufferings for you and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ for the sake of his body, which is the church. So it's very clearly mentioned here that, you know, the body, I mean the church is Christ's body, you see that in Colossians 118 says and he is the head of the body, which is the church. And we see that in verse 24, it says for the sake of his body, which is the church. So the church is the body of Christ. Ephesians chapter one verse 22 and 23, can one of you please read that? Ephesians chapter one, 22 and 23. Through him you Gentiles are also being made part of this dwelling where God lives by his spirit. Oh, sorry, I did chapter two. I'll read chapter one. God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church. And the church is his body.  Thank you, Jefina. So here we see that, you know, he's the head of all things and gave him to be the head over all things, the church, which is his body. Okay, again here, the church is referred to as the body of Christ. Okay, so that's the first important truth about the church. The second one is that church is eternal. Why do we say that the church is eternal? Why do we say that the church is eternal? Because Christ, who is the head of the church is eternal. Okay, he's God. He has no beginning and no end. He's eternal. And because the church is the body of Christ and because Christ is eternal, the church is also eternal. The third thing is the church is the instrument to execute Christ's purpose. So we see that whatever the head commands, the head is Christ himself. The body executes. That means the body does what Christ wants us to do here, what is his plan, his purpose. And the church is here to execute the command of the head who is Christ himself, the head of the church, both here in this present age and in the millennium. Okay, so even as we're spending our days here on the earth and even as we spend time under God's rule and reign that is for a thousand year period, the millennium, we see that the body that is the church, the body of Christ will execute the commands of the head of the church that is Christ himself. And we see this in Daniel chapter 7 verse 18 where it says, But the saints of the most high shall receive the kingdom and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever. The fourth truth is that every believer is a member of Christ's body, which is the eternal church. First Corinthians chapter 12 verse 27 says that now you are the body of Christ and members individually. Okay, so each one of us are members of the body of Christ, which is the church members individually, but we are to worship him together because we are called out together and together, we are to fulfill the purposes of God. Okay, so that is some of the important truths about the church, which is the body of Christ. We look at some important truths concerning the local church. Okay, the local church is called the household of God. So if you look at various scripture passages, the church is referred to in certain places as the household of God. One of those scripture verses that mentions this is 1st Timothy chapter 3 verses 14 and 15. So can one of you please read that? 1st Timothy chapter 3 verses 14 and 15. 1st Timothy chapter 3 verse 14 and 15. Anyone would like to read that? 1st Timothy chapter 3 verses 14 and 15. I'm writing these things to you now, even though I hope to be with you soon so that if I'm delayed, you will know how people must conduct themselves in the household of God. This is the church of the living God, which is the pillar and the foundation of the truth. Thank you, Jefina. So here it says, you know, talks about the house of God or the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. Okay, so the local church in a certain place is the family of God in that place. So church is household. So when we talk about a house, who lives in a house, it's not an individual person, but it's a family that lives in a house. So when we talk about church, the household of God, we see that it's a local church is a certain place where the family of God in that place dwells or meets together, fellowships together, worships together. And since it is a household of God and has a concept of a family, you know, family is all about relationships where we love each other, we care for each other, we support each other, we are concerned about each other, we help each other. And so a local church in a certain place is just not the family of God, but it's a family of God where we are related to one another just like any human family is, and hence we need to show love, care, support, concern for each other. And even as we see in a family, in a family as a unit, we have a father, we have a mother, we have children, children who may be babies, or some of them would be, you know, pre-teen, some of them, you know, elementary stage, some of them teenage stage, youth or young adults, you know, and also maybe married, but staying together with the parents as a family. So we see that in the family, there are people at different stages of maturity. We have a father who is kind of mature and mother who's mature in their age, in their experience. We have toddlers or children who are in the primary stage or in the pre-teen, teen stage, young adults or, you know, who are already adults. And then we have grandparents as well who are well matured in their age and in their experience. And so we see in a family we have people at different stages of growth and maturity. And so also in a church, you know, which is a family of God, we have people at different spiritual levels, different levels of maturity. Some of them who are just babies in their, in their faith walk, just born again believers, some of them who are strong, mature in their faith.  So we have people at different stages of growth and maturity in a family, which means that we need to be patient with each other. We need to be supportive of each other. We need to love each other. We need to encourage, exhort, build, support and grow and learn from each other and, you know, share our experiences so that people can learn and people can mature. And, you know, all of us growing into the fullness of the God, the fullness of Christ that has been given to us. So the first thing we see that is the local church is called the household of God. The second one is that the local church is the physical expression of the spiritual body of Christ in a certain geographical area. Now, what do we mean by this? That the local church is a physical expression of the spiritual body of Christ in a certain geographical area. Now, as the Lord sees us, as God sees us in a city or in a region, he sees us as one church, one citywide church, comprising of all believers from different local churches. So, you know, for some of us, you know, we kind of guard ourselves in our own churches, our denominations, our liturgies, our culture in that church. We don't want to mix with other churches in the region, in the city. But how God sees us is he looks at us as one church, one big citywide church, which is comprising of all believers from all local churches. And serving in that city or serving the church in the city are many local churches. There are many local churches, there are many ministers of God, there are many ministries, different organizations, and hence God allocates for each one, whether it's a ministry, a Christian organization, a minister who is an evangelist, an itinerary evangelist, a missionary, or maybe just a local church, God allocates to each one of us specific roles, callings, and spheres of influence. So, each one of us, you know, are called to different needs that are in the city, God sees it, and, you know, he's the head, and he's the one who commands.  We look at the definition of the church, and the purpose is not what we purpose, but what the head purpose is, what Christ purposes. So, based on the needs of the society, or based on the needs of the city, or based on what God wants to be accomplished and done, or what he has purposed even before the foundation of the world, what he wants to establish in the city, he uses each one to minister in different different spheres, because each one of us cannot do everything together. So, for example, in our city, maybe if the suicide rate is very high, then we can have organizations that spring up, which meets the need of counseling people, Christian organizations, or a church can basically cater to the needs of those who are emotionally hurting, being disturbed, suicidal, broken, you know, or we can have, we have a church like that, we basically has programs and seminars and weekend schools that minister to those who are broken, hurting, emotionally disturbed. Or we can have churches who God raises up for apostolic ministry, churches God raises up to be engaged in largely in just mission activity, or churches that are, you know, ministering to the people in the lower social strata or lower social status, basically to the migrant workers or basically to, you know, to the poor. And we have churches that are catering to the needs of the intellectual people, those in, you know, the business field, those who are highly educated apologetics. And so we have, you know, different churches, different organizations that God raises up to cater to specific needs, sometimes to women, to children, you know, to those who are involved in caught up in sex trafficking. So, you know, if in need of the society God just raises up organizations, people to minister the local churches, burdens their hearts to minister to specific areas. So God allocates to each of our specific roles, callings and spheres of influence. Now I suppose you are in a city where there is largely a community of students because it is an educational hub. So, you know, God is turning your heart up to minister or reach out to students in the city. Whatever it is, you know, God is calling. You know, he gives us the plan, the strategies and the calling, and each of them are doing their specific roles. And together, you know, each of the local churches, ministries, each of the organizations, Christian organizations together as a whole, you know, as a church or local community as a whole, you know, is reaching out or catering to the needs of the society or to the city. So each local church and those who are part of that local church have their respective functions in and toward the citywide church. Okay. The third important truth concerning the local church is that the local church in a certain area is Christ instrument in that area to execute Christ's purposes. You know, it's basically that each of us who comprise of the local church and who are part of the citywide church in our specific cities, we are God's hands, we are His feet, we are His voice in that region. Hence, every local church should see themselves on a Godly assignment or an heavenly assignment. We have a responsibility toward God and toward our community and beyond to do what Jesus wants to be done in and through us. Okay. So this is some important truths concerning the local church. Any questions so far? So we basically looked at what is the definition and the meaning of the word church. We saw the important truths concerning the church which is the body of Christ. And then we looked at some important truths concerning the local church. Any questions? If there are no questions and we'll move ahead to what is the mission of the local church. Now the mission of the local church can be categorized in five main areas. So what do you think is the mission of a local church? Before we look at what's given in our notes, what is your idea about the mission of the local church? Any thoughts? What is the mission of the local church? All of us are part of a church, a local church. So what is the mission of a local church? I'm the main mission of the local church is to, like, there are many communities around and there are many souls to win souls for Christ and to share the gospel to do the ministry. Thank you, Siddiq Enno. So it's basically evangelism and missions. Yes, Lubega says evangelize and win souls for Christ. Thank you. What else is the mission of the local church? Other than evangelism and missions, which is important and the first one. Thank you. Fellowship with believers. Yes. Evangelism and... Hello. Discipleship. Yes, of course. Yeah, the mission, one of the missions of the local church is to bring everybody together onto one umbrella to preach gospel to them. Because in the local environment, that is where you see idolatry, worshiping of idols. So by telling them about the Lord Jesus Christ, which is composed of evangelism, but it's more deeper, but it's by bringing everybody together. Local church is the foundation of the mission. Thank you. Thank you, success. Yes, it's evangelism and missions. So evangelizing people, bringing them under the church, bringing them as one unit. Yes, evangelism and missions. Thank you. Evangelism and discipleship. Thank you, Siddiq Enno says, sharing the love of God with everyone. Yes, so that's again evangelism. Bega says guidance and counseling for believers. Yes, thank you. Jefina, to help them know more about Christ and to help them to stay strong in their relationship with Him. Yes, thank you, Jefina. So that's basically discipling people in Christ so that they grow mature in Christ's likeness. Anyone else? Thank you for sharing your inputs. Yeah, so the mission of the local church, the first one is evangelism and missions, reaching out to people with the gospel. Basically fulfilling the great commission to go and preach and teach and baptize the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. Discipleship is second disciple training them to be more Christ like in their character, conduct and service. The third thing is praise and worship. You know, when praise and worship is very powerful, when we praise and worship, it changes the spiritual atmosphere of the city. When we praise and worship, it kind of breaks the strongholds in the demonic realm. It's like the stronghold are just covering us like an umbrella in the city. And when we praise and worship, it's like just breaks through those strongholds and it opens up for God's rule, His reign, His activity, His power, His presence, His kingdom to just infiltrate, just flood to just sweep over that city and that nation. So praise and worship is very powerful. It changes the spiritual atmosphere of our city. It creates an atmosphere for spiritual ministry even as we gather together for God to work in our midst. As I said, it just breaks all the strongholds. It breaks the spirit of strife, jealousy, division.  So, you know, we can experience freedom, bondages to be broken, healing, wholeness, answers to questions that we're having, you know, heaviness that can just be lifted. All this happens, you know, when we praise and worship God because it creates an atmosphere for spiritual ministry even as we gather together. And God speaks in the midst of worshiping and praying congregation, okay? So if you thought that fasting prayer is boring, if you thought, you know, just going for a prayer meeting is boring, we don't see anything happen. Maybe we are not experiencing anything physically, but yeah, things are happening in the spiritual realm. Things are happening in the spiritual realm, in our city, in our nation, in our homes, even as we are praying, even over our lives we do not know. You know, things are just being, we are being set free from so many strongholds that are coming against us and just opens up a room and space for God's intervention in our lives. And then we can, you know, experience more of God in a powerful way. And also we know that the mission of the local church is fellowship, you know, because we are living together. The church is called the household of God. We are a family, living as a family. So there is fellowship, there is, you know, interaction with each other, learning from each other, helping, supporting each other. The fifth thing is that, you know, the mission of the local church is ministry. It's basically equipping the saints for ministry. Now who are saints? Who are called the saints? When we read this word, saints in the New Testament, who does it refer to? Born again believers. Thank you. It's born again believers. All of us who are part of the church are called saints. So basically believers in the church, yes. Thank you, Rebecca. So ministry of equipping all of the saints for ministry. So it's basically equipping the people or believers in the church to minister. So we have to see each member in the body of Christ as, you know, as ministers of God. It's not only the pastors, the evangelists, those are called to ministry offices who have to minister. But each one of us, you know, are called the priests of God. It says that we are a royal priesthood. So each one of us are called priests of God. We're the high priests of God. We're the priests of God.  And we need to be released to fulfill the calling that God has placed in our lives. And that is what a local church should do. So a local church is basically not just to come on a Sunday and to worship and, you know, to hear some good messages and to fellowship with each other and to go away. But it is basically also a place where we are equipping each believer and for them to be activated and for them to be released to fulfill the calling that God has on their lives. It's also a place where we are equipping believers to discover and exercise the gifts for the edifying of the body of Christ. So we are, you know, equipping each one of them to discover their talents, their calling, and also to be activated in the gifts of the spirit, the nine gifts of the spirit so that, you know, the church of Christ or the body of Christ can be edified, can grow, can be strengthened in their faith.  It's not just a neighborhood, a city, but also the world. And it is by sending ministers out of the church who are equipped, who are billed, were activated in the gifts of the spirit, activated in their faith and know their specific calling and they're released to fulfill their calling, sending them out to, you know, to go as apostles, prophets, evangelists, missionaries, also to go out as pastors to reproduce the church of the same kind as the mother church or as the main church. So, you know, building up various churches in the city or in the nation or in the nations of the world. So, a well-formed local church will have all of these five dimensions in proper balance and emphasis. That means a local church, you know, has to pay attention or give good attention or emphasize all of these five points, missions and evangelism, discipleship, praise and worship, fellowship and equipping the saints for ministry. All of this has to be emphasized and has to be done in proper balance. So, we look at more in detail what a local church is. A local church we saw is the body of Christ. We also saw that the local church is a family. And the local church is an army, okay? We saw the local church as a body. We also looked at how the local church is a family. We said that in several cases in the scripture the term house of God, the household is used to refer to both the corporate body of Christ that is the city-wide church or also in reference to the local church. So, the local church or the city-wide church is a house of God. It's basically a spiritual house. We read this, you know, in Galatians chapter 6 verse 10 where it says, therefore as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are the household of faith. Ephesians chapter 2 verses 19 to 22 again talks about, now therefore you are no longer strangers and foreigners but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God. Okay, so again the word household of God mentioned there. We read 1st Timothy chapter 3 verse 15 earlier when we looked at the local church as the household of God. We saw that in 1st Timothy chapter 3 verse 15 it says that, you know, I write to you that you may know how you ought to conduct yourselves in the house of God. Now the Greek word for house is okios and it basically refers to a dwelling, okios, which basically refers to dwelling. And so, you know, in a house which is a dwelling place, we know that the implication is that a family dwells there. So we already said that, you know, the church or the local church is a family of God. And as born again believers, we are all born into the family of God. We are born as spiritual sons and daughters of God and hence we are part of one big family, one same family that is a family of God. We read about this in John chapter 1 verse 12 and 1 John chapter 5 verse 1. So we see that the church is a spiritual family, a spiritual body where each one of us are sons and daughters and all of us, you know, irrespective of our various denominations, liturgies, the style of worship, everything we belong to one family that is, we belong to one same family that is a family of God. And because the local church is a family, there are certain practices that we should pursue. The first thing is that we need to walk in brotherly and sisterly love. How do we walk in brotherly and sisterly love? How do we walk in brotherly and sisterly love? Come on, how do we walk in brotherly and sisterly love in a church? Observing and caring for the needs of others who are part of the family in the church. Thank you, Isaac. Yes, observing, seeing, looking out for people who are in need, helping them out in their need, supporting them. Yes, thank you. How else do we walk in brotherly and sisterly love? We need to be kind to each other, give preference to one another. Like it says in Romans chapter 12 verse 10. Can one of you read that, please? Romans chapter 12 verse 10. Yes, thank you, Jeffina. Picking them up when they fall, when people fall short of the glory of God, when they sin, when they go away from God's ways, His standards, and we know that we need to be patient, loving, gentle, correct them in love, speak the truth in love, correct them in love, and restore them back in their relationship with God. Thank you, Jeffina. Can one of you please read Romans 12 verse 10, please? Romans 12 verse 10. There has to be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love in order, giving, in honor, giving preference to one another. So here the scripture exhausts or, you know, encourages us to be kind and affectionate to one another in love and in honor, giving preference to one another. It's not all about I, me, myself, but it's giving preference to one another. So be kind to each other, giving preference to one another. The second thing that we can walk in brotherly and sisterly love is to do good to those who are of the household of faith. Galatians chapter 6 verse 10. Can one of you please read Galatians chapter 6 verse 10? Yes, thank you, Abubakar. It's also praying for the well-being. That's how we show love for people. Yes, praying for them. Galatians chapter 6 verse 10. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. Thank you. So here it says that we need to do good to those in the household of faith, especially to those who are, you know, we need to do good to all, but especially to those who are the household of faith. That means household of faith is talking about the church. The church of God is called a household. So those who are believers in the faith, one in faith with us, we need to be especially doing good to them. Okay. We'll stop here. We look at more about how we can walk in brotherly and sisterly love in the local church as people belonging to the local church. And we look at more about how church is a family in our next class on Wednesday. Any questions? Any questions? Okay. If there are no questions, then we'll end class. Thank you all for joining. Have a blessed day and a blessed and a restful and refreshing weekend. And I'll see you on Monday for our Christology class. Okay. Thank you all. Bye.


The people who hire us do not know what it is that we do. They do not know what it is that they should be looking for in their next CIO. I would like to see the profession of CIOs and EDUCAUS as our association find ways to work with presidents, chancellors, provost, boards, people who are doing the selection of the CIOs to find a ways to get to advise them so that they can make better decisions. If they make the wrong decision and don't put the right person into that job or put a person who might be right but not for that situation into that job and it fails, it ends up casting a poll not on that individual but on the institution and the view of the profession. And so I have seen instances where a CIO failure has caused the institution to say we don't want this position at the cabinet level anymore, we're going to move it down because we didn't have a good experience. So while we're worried about how do we identify, groom, grow, develop, mentor CIOs for the next generation, I think we also need to determine how we can best move about helping institutions make the right decisions for hiring the right CIO for them.


Uh, being that you and Yella Beazie done had, uh, relationships together and worked together. Will he ever be doing any cameos and any short films? Hey, look, I'm gonna tell you like this.  That's my brother, but I tried to get him in Sunday Funday and he told me no. So he would never be in no movie.  We don't know never. That's never because he told you no one time. Why would he tell me no to my first one? And that's my day one partner. Then I would never know. Yeah, we on boss talk one on one. These things are done appropriately in a way to where you know already people are going to be seen at everywhere. Have plain as a known guy who people are watching him. You've been over at the pastry shop. Well, do you all close that? Or is that still a we're in the process of closing it? OK, well, we're about to, of course, take on films full time. So so those people that know you from that don't say, man, she's just stayed over cooking these cakes. But surprisingly, it's actually not pressure. It's not any pressure being applied because I'm actually like a super creative person. OK, but I'm not how he is. He's his face is everywhere. He everybody knows have paint. They talk to have paint. But with me, I'm I just like to be behind the scenes a lot. So it wasn't a lot of pressure because like he said, it comes to me easy. But at the same time, I'm also one of those people. I'm hard on myself. So I reread it three times. I'm like, oh, no, if I like it. So I have him read it. He likes it. Like it's nothing wrong with it. What are you talking about?  I am a perfectionist, but it doesn't really feel like it's any pressure on me. Well, that's good. That's good stuff. That's good to know because we're going to come on with it. You know, being that you and yellow beads and had relationships together and work together, will he ever be doing any cameos and any short things? Hey, look, I'm going to tell you like this.  That's my brother, but I tried to get him in Sunday Funday and he told me no. So he would never be in. Wow. No movie.  We don't know never. That's never because he told you, you know, why would he tell me? No, to my first one. And that's my day one partner. Then I would never know.  Oh, he said, no, we do this every time. This is both. Why would he tell, you know, when you and him have done so much work together and he knows that they already know I am. So why ain't you asking for explanation? No, I don't ask yellow for explanations. First of all, when I call it, I was already expecting to know because I know yellow. For real? So you just got to know yellow, bro. It's not it's not even like a hard feeling thing. You just got to know yellow to know. OK, I'll try. But so if you don't come in, you said what? He ain't coming on boss talk. You just told it. You as part of the day one. Hell, I never get this nigga, man. You probably won't get it. Because you just say he said no to a nigga. He been knowing for a million years. But let me ask you a question.  And you invite him then. What do you come? Of course. But I wouldn't invite him. People like people like support you from day. Especially somebody. I'm not just talking about just him talking to people in general, because there's a lot of people who do that. Yeah. Why is that why? Yellow is not the only one. Right, but why? You know me. He's like, who are you? He's like, who are you? I'm the Scooby-Doo Mike. Why would people tell I have but I know? Hey, man. And you've been putting in a lot of work out here. Let me say. And these are people that you've worked with before? Of course. But they've gotten bigger now? Of course. So now that they're on another level in their career, but they forgot about that. They forgot about that Canon. What was your first camera? What was that first camera? Give it up, nigga. Coolpix. That Coolpix, yeah. That Coolpix is the nigga we used to put you on. You done just forgot about the Coolpix, though. That's over with. The Coolpix is out of there. No more Coolpix. As we said earlier, everything happens for a reason. It is. How he shows you a lot to me, he always, we're different too. Just like how you always different. He'll reach out to some people and they'll say no, or they won't answer whatever. And he'll continue. Or they'll talk to him and then just won't come. And I'm like, don't reach out no more. Please don't reach out no more. Thank you. And then a month or two later, he's trying to reach out again. And I'm like, why? We can keep going. There's a million people in this world. There's so many people in the world who are willing to support you. I'm not going to beg you for this for. Exactly. That's how I am.    Hey, man, come on, let them come through. Please God, because I don't depend on man, you know. So I get that I see now from from doing music videos, my whole process with that. It taught me to never depend on a nigga. So I'm a nigga got one chance with me now, nigga. I'm asking if it's if you don't don't expect it again.


What is going on guys welcome back to the channel, and I appreciate you being here as always today I want to show you guys something absolutely epic, and that is the discovery of st 14 and Probably what could be a secret quest which leads us and rewards us a secret weapon now This actual footage of st 14 was shown to me by a fellow destiny content creator in my the life crisis who also Uploads daily destiny 2 videos if you do want to check him out and show him some love you will find his channel linked within the video description Now you've probably seen the Titans helm of st 14 exotic from destiny 1 which has made a return in destiny 2 You've probably seen st 14 ship which is available from bright engrams. It's called st 14's gray pigeon So we have a few references within destiny 2, but nothing like what I am about to show you guys now before we go any Further people I am giving away some epic loot on this video in the form of exclusive emblem and sparrow codes Gift cards and more to win simply hit that like button leave a comment down below and join my discord server links within the video description Okay, so let's first learn a little about st 14 St 14 was an exo titan best known for his crusade against the fallen His crusade led him to sulcus the cow of the house of devils whom he killed by caving its head in with his own St 14 sounds like a beast st 14 was the owner of the helm of st 14 St 14 Vach for all sides his elevation to the commander of the vanguard believing him to be the pragmatic warrior He later went to investigate what all sides was doing on mercury St 14 had theorized that a darkness was an army of aliens that had been rejected by the traveler This was true at least for the fallen So where is st 14? Well, he hasn't been seen or heard of since his mission to mercury searching for all sides So interesting but people it gets better within the mercury adventure up and up this which you can select from Vance By the way, if you do want to check out for yourselves If you do simply run through the adventure until you travel to the future mercury Once in this reality, you will see these red lasers flowing out this weird structure right here We see a door or a pathway you can see there's a minute gap within this door if you get close enough You can jump onto a small ledge and if you are using a sniper You can scope in and see who many people are speculating to be st 14 We can clearly see it's an extra Titan. We also see the same tassels which match those on his ship So what is this and why is it here? I actually think this is a secret quest for the 11th verse weapon within the destiny 2 database We only see 10 verse weapons, but there are 11 slots for nodes you can unlock Bungie have also confirmed within the curse of also streams that there are 11 weapons available here So this is what I think happens upon completing 10 verses with Vance You see if a quest line for the 11th which somewhere brings you to these adventure the up and up now Why do I think it's all relates you may ask while there is another mystery weapon within the database called the perfect paradox Or I believe that's what it is called on screen now. We see an image of it Notice the markings on the side of this weapon. Yes, it states 14 as in Saint 14 This is a shotgun by the way We have seen gameplay of within the trailers for the curse of Osiris and it always stood out to me as being a weapon Which match no other theme so this is how I believe this weapon is actually obtained in my opinion the secret room Which behold Saint 14 is unlocked via a quest receive for the 11th verse weapon upon completing all of our 10 verses That kind of makes sense to me. But what do you guys think let me know down below within that comments section I love the idea of secret quests within this game and this no doubt will be one of them We get to experience some time within the future, but people I hope you enjoyed the video If so leaving a like really does help me out Thanks for stopping by as always subscribe if you're new around here and enjoy daily destiny and hopefully people I will see you on my next video


When you are there, you have to respect the other person.  It's just perhaps in that very moment, not the case. The other human being has the same soul material as you do. So that fundamental respect towards everyone has to be there.  And the only way to do it, if you're still sitting at the table, if you haven't left the table, the only way to do it is to go into that quiet state within.
