Everyone loves the annual Moondance Jam for bringing out some of the best in rock and roll straight to the community of Walker. But the jam is about a whole lot more than just music. Our own Cherelle Moore is live tonight to tell us about the experience. Cherelle? Thank you Josh.  When coming to Moondance, there are a few things guaranteed. You'll hear some great rock music, meet happy people and we'll leave with lifelong memories. You used to come here and sit on hay bales when it first started and you had no parking spot anywhere you found. Yeah that's come quite a ways. Well besides the music that's what originally brings people here but once they're here at Moondance they become friends and they become part of the Moondance family and then when they get here they reconnect with all the friends that they've made for years and years. This year there are more than 15 acts hitting the four different stages at the festival so the party never stops. Officials with Moondance say they're expecting their biggest crowds yet thanks to headliners like Kid Rock, Brett Michaels, Joan Jett and Tesla. The bands span from 80s and 70s favorites to recent rockers. Saliva. Very interesting to see in Saliva and Kid Rock. Kid Rock. Kid Rock this weekend, yeah. Can't wait for this. Joan Jett, lead a forward. It wouldn't be Moondance without the iconic campground. Some people bring in tents and campers a whole day before to get ready for the weekend. For a lot of jammers, staying the night is one of the highlights of their trip. Can't beat the people. Everybody here is so friendly. I mean it's just like everybody's neighborly and with this however many thousands of campers are parked here. You have to camp. Camping is very key to your experience at Moondance. Kid Rock will hit the stage tomorrow. Then Joan Jett and Tesla are ending the night on Saturday. Then when the weekend is over, officials will be back to work making sure next year is just as magical. We would say to the people that haven't come, the big question is like I tell others that haven't come is why? Why would you not be here up in the north woods, around the lakes, great camping, great people, great news, great time, good bands, good people. What more do you need? And you can find the full line up on Moondancejam.com. And if you want to join the festival this weekend, general admission wristbands like these ones are still available. Now, Sherrell, I understand that you know these jammers are hardcore, they're out there, rain or shine, but do the performers still go on no matter what the weather conditions are out there? Well, I was told that in the past they have had to cancel a few acts, but if the group is willing then the show will still go on. All right, thank you very much, Sherrell. Camping passes are also still available and you can purchase both general admission tickets and those camping passes right at the gate.


Good afternoon, Howard Wigg, Code Green, Sync Tech, Hawaii. This is March 18th, 2019, and we are talking about maybe the most important energy tsunami on the horizon, and in this case it's a very good tsunami, but it will hopefully be taking us over pretty gosh darn soon. And if we're not prepared for it, it's going to wash over us, and we're not going to know what did us, which is why we have today maybe Hawaii's leading storage guy.  So welcome, Nick Dizon, president of Need On Clean Energy. And we got to know one another, Nick, 20 something years ago. About 20 years ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and you had a project which involves storage, when we talk storage we're talking battery storage here in lieu of direct electrical current from the production plant, and that was really a pioneering effort back then. Yeah, I learned a lot of standards back then, not a lot of information on how to design battery systems, so had to develop that ourselves, myself, through most of that, gosh, most of the past 15 years. I remember you're going through fits and starts and something, you'd have to try another approach, but that's how things evolve, yeah. Yeah, battery technology has changed radically in the past seven years, but more important, or just as importantly, so has the inverter converters and the software that controls it, as well as the regulatory environment and the interconnection environment with the utility. Things have gone, you know, completely changed, and it's a high speed evolution that's picking up even more speed. Even something called density, density in the batteries, I have a little example, right, there, I've gone through some evolution myself recently, one of which is I had a pacemaker installed. Oh, okay. Yeah, cardiologist said, he showed me readouts and said, Howard, look at this, no heartbeat for three seconds, you should have been dead, okay, I guess I'll do a pacemaker, and the deal is, oh, this, if you don't know what it is, it controls your heartbeat, and it's good not for one, oh, and it's powered by a battery, right up here, not good for one year, not good for three, good for 15 years. And that's, I'm at 50 beats, so 50 beats a minute times 60 is an hour times 24 is a day times 365 is a year times 15, you're getting way, way, way up in the billions of pulses, and they think it's going to give me those billions of pulses, but there's teeny little battery here, that is what we call density. Right, I don't know if it's that, if it has that type of improvement out in the building type world, but... Well, that's where we need to be, in your case, my father had one too, the strength of the signal that's needed to keep your heart in proper time is well known, so the strength of the signal versus how much battery storage you need, so of course with the newer lithium ion technology where they're, they've micronized it so much more, they can pack in a lot of power in a small amount of space, but the key is the load is known, it's a predictable non-varied load. And hopefully it's smooth, it will better be smooth in this case. The soft, one of the improvements in pacemakers though, is they have load following capabilities now, so like if you're climbing stairs, it'll actually speed up a little to match the amount of load that you're burning. At some point, yeah, they put me on a treadmill and I can go up to 130, yeah. That's right, so in the old days though, the original pacemakers couldn't do that, these newer ones, they're programmable and based on the data it collects as you go through your day, they can tune it to match how you, how you're, what your lifestyle is. And that's a key part of energy storage. What is the load profile? Now in your human body, that's a fixed range of power, even with load following, but on a home, when the microwave goes on simultaneously with the, with Honey Girl firing up the hairdryer and maybe Pops firing up the coffee and, and Sun's over there on the computer. And the refrigerator door was going on. The refrigerator door was going on. And mom turns on the washing machine, all right? People have an expectation of energy storage that it's going to be as transparent in terms of use as being connected to HIKO, MIKO, HALCO, or a KIUC. But very few battery guys, renewable energy, energy storage guys, designed to that. In fact, almost nobody designs to that.  Yeah, or you're, you're buying a pre-package system like the Tesla power wall or something from LG or Tabuchi or, you know, any of those flavor of batteries, which usually come in a couple of sizes. And those are not designed to take you off grid. And the power converters and inverters, the intelligence of the system is not designed for that. You're selling it as a backup power, not even truly time of use, but more as backup power. And in a backup power mode, you'll never get your money back and you're not going to get that kind of operation where you turn on the vacuum cleaner, the microwave, the coffee machine, the hairdryer, those things are not going to, not going to hold up. Those kind of batteries won't hold up under those day to day real life conditions. Let's back up for a minute and look at Hawaii's energy situation where I work for the Hawaii Energy Office and our goal, our mantra is 100% clean electrical energy by the year 2045, which is not all that long away. And we're ahead of schedule, but we might be reaching a point of diminishing returns here. So the ideal is that we get more and more photovoltaics on more and more roofs and more and more photovoltaic farms, plus a lot more wind farms, plus any other renewable technology, biofuels so forth that comes along. And because we now have an excess of photovoltaic energy in the middle of a sunny day such as we had today, the utilities cannot ramp back far enough to absorb all of that energy, I should say make use of it. So there's some wasted energy, so solution, more and more storage, more batteries such as we're going to be looking at, which stores suck up all that good midday energy and then use it for whatever purposes we want. Ideally, it's peak shaving in the evening. I should back up more and say that in the middle of the day, due to the photovoltaics on Hawaii's utilities, you can't absorb all of that excess energy, but then just as energy use ramps up when everybody comes home and all the tourists come in from the beach and shopping, whatever, and the hotels are going great, gun the restaurants are going great, guns everything, we have this unique situation of an evening peak and ideally we would use that storage to shave that peak cut down on the less efficient power plants as we mothball more and more power plants, that's the ideal, and then looking way down the road, we combine that with the electric vehicles which have these large capacity batteries, and the electric vehicle guys would have the option of entering new agreement with the utilities and saying, okay, you can use some of my EV energy right now, whoops, no, I need to get it charged and so forth, and that gets a little complicated, but that is, and then of course combine that with efficiency, where buildings are safer, more comfortable, and homes, but they use less and less and less energy, that's my business there. Right, so that's been the problem, and in terms of, we've built so much PV so fast, both residential and commercial, and below the substation at most locations we're at 250%, which means the amount of power that is being used there, I mean the amount of power being produced by the sun is two and a half times the amount of power that would normally be used if there was no PV, so that's excess power that's dangerously looking for somewhere to go, I mentioned it before where 10 years ago the electrical contractors didn't worry about arc flash suits, arc flash rated breakers, now we have to have those because there's power looking for ground, especially in the middle of the day, and it can be very dangerous, so what the state and the counties and more importantly the PUC and the utilities are facing, it's a dangerous costly situation, that excess power is not benefiting the utility, they're actually paying for it and unable to use it when they need it, which is in the peak, so if you can go to slide number one, this is a first generation or 1.0 lithium ion battery from Sony that we installed on a site here, this is an excellent example of what could happen in town, in buildings this small form factor that's 35 kilowatt hour of battery there in a 19 inch rack form factor, this is actually the older style battery, they've now come out, Sony blue ion has come out with the 2.0 battery and also the LX battery, which has even greater energy density, a battery like that can be in buildings in town behind the DMARC, behind the meter, and that's a situation where the customers can be incentivized to have this because of the TOU, absorb power during the day because they don't have PV on those buildings in town, but they can, there's no space, that's right, there's no rough space to speak of, but downtown they can start absorbing that excess power from the surrounding areas and in their part of the grid and have that go into the peak. And in this case, you mentioned 35 KW, you're not limited to that because these are modular, you can stack as many of them as you see fit. Correct, so those systems can be absorbing the excess power from the grid all day long, and the nice thing about it is they can be set up to be under HECO control. Alright, so HECO is able to dispatch that power into the evening peak as PV starts dropping off from 3 in the afternoon, it's a fairly dramatic drop off, which then forces the generators at CAHE, AES, KALI, LOA, H-BAR to have to react rapidly load following, and those generators have been load following all day long.  Alright, so those generators are not new so they don't have the latest technology. And then when you have PV shading going on in unpredictable patterns across the island, they're reacting to the grid in sharp jolts, which is not good for them. And then the switch gear at the substations are also not new and not designed to do that, to cooperate with the PV, with the grid, with the generation to balance out those jerks coming from shading. Now the jerks aren't human jerks, these are what I would call spikes or dips. Right, from edge of cloud, when clouds come over, it's unpredictable what areas of the island are covered, so the PV will suddenly drop off, you may have megawatts drop off in just a few seconds, and then as soon as the cloud starts passing, those megawatts kick back in. Yeah, the load goes up and down like a rollercoaster, but on that very cheery note, we need to take a break, Howard Wigg, on Think Tech, Hawaii with Nick Dizon, President of NEDON Clean Energy. Back in a moment.  So join me every Friday on Stan Energyman at lunchtime, at noon on my lunch hour. We're going to talk about everything energy, especially if it begins with the word hydrogen. We're going to definitely be talking about it. We'll talk about how we can make Hawaii cleaner, how we can make the world a better place.  Even Miss America can't even talk about stuff like that anymore. We got it nailed down here, so we'll see you on Friday at noon with Stan Energyman. Aloha. Hey, Aloha. My name is Andrew Lanning. I'm the host of Security Matters Hawaii airing every Wednesday here on Think Tech, Hawaii, live from the studios. I'll bring you guests. I'll bring you information about the things in security that matter to keeping you safe, your co-workers safe, your family safe, to keep our community safe. We want to teach you about those things in our industry that may be a little outside of your experience, so please join me because security matters. Aloha. Good afternoon again, Howard Wig, Think Tech, Hawaii with Nick Dizon, president of Need On Lean Energy, and we are talking about storage, and we've been sort of rambling all over the place, but we've only got 14 minutes left. Why don't we go to the next slide and start getting into some specifics here? Okay, that's a residential system, and actually it's in the residential areas where we see a lot of overproduction. So in a system like... Overproduction of PV. Of PV, correct. So we have all this PV that people leave home during the day to go to work, and they've got their PV system just generating away on the NEM, kicking it back into the grid, and the grid can't take it or use it somewhere because it's stuck below the substation. In a situation like this, these batteries can be charged up, and as they are right now, and be put under HECO control for discharge into the peak. Or I would say into the peak, or as you said, PV energy goes up and down like a roller coaster. On a cloudy day, you can watch the meter. It's way, way up there. It might dip to half and then right back up again, and can the batteries handle that? Can they smooth out that? They can. Those peaks and valleys. They can, and the nice thing about something like that, and you can go to the next slide as well. So those were aqueous hybrid ion batteries. Now these are lithium ion iron phosphate batteries. That first one was in IEA. This one's in Kanioi. We choose the batteries based on what their charge discharge profile is, what the average C-rate range is going to be, and what the charge rate is from the sun in that area. So there's a lot of mathematical calculations. It's like three classroom chalkboards long, 20 lines of chalkboard to do this. But in those areas, we're putting in systems that have the capability of absorbing the excess power from the grid. And even below the substation, some houses are going to get shaded, some aren't. So we can actually smooth out what's happening below the substation. And then now this power and this ability to absorb can be under the control of HECO. And HECO didn't have to pay for it. Yeah. The customer paid for it, and then you and I, as taxpayers, paid for some of it in the form of the tax credits. Tax credits, right. So it's a way to make it more democratic, more representative that even though others couldn't afford PV and batteries, they're benefiting it from it as well. And in terms of, we're talking about smooth delivery of energy, there's something called Hertz. And Hawaiian Electric, as I understand it, likes to stay right at 60 Hertz. And they get upset if they go above 60.5, or they get upset, or the grid gets a little upset if it goes below 59.5. It has to stay in this very narrow band, which the storage can definitely help. Well, it can help with that, and it can help with that excess power. And excess power can dirty up the power as well. I mean, now what's happening to your ground potential? Because that stuff is looking for somewhere to go, and generally it's looking for ground. And that can, depending on what the local situation is below the substation, or even building to building house to house, if you have power looking for ground and it finds a weak point, that could have disastrous results. This is what you refer to as flash arc? Arc flash. Yeah. Describe what arc flash is for us. Well, arc flash is excess power suddenly finding a path to ground. All too often it's through an electrician or a Hiko worker who happens to be in amongst the switch gear. Or there can be a defect or a flaw in the switch gear or something starting to fail and nobody knows it. And so it's like, it's literally like a bomb going off. The electrical shock as it bursts out of there could kill you. But it's the shock wave, the air shock wave that hits you and throws you against the walls, the cabinets, the floor. That's where it's like a bomb going off. And like I said, 10 years ago, we weren't being required to put in arc flash rated breakers. Our guys weren't wearing arc flash rated suits. Most of the skilled pv installers, the older guys, they're so nervous about it that they're wearing gloves, all this stuff, because they could literally die from something like that. That could be serious. So that's what we're facing and really for Hiko and Miko Helco, the PUC-KIUC, finding a cost-effective way to roll this out has been a challenge. They've been looking at big utility level solutions, but the expertise, the background for that, especially as it relates to an isolated grid like ours, a lot of that doesn't exist. You're trying to invent it. And Hiko's been working hard at trying to figure that out, but it's been a challenge and they haven't found anything really that's cost-effective for them that doesn't really hurt their bottom line. Could that be compared in very layman's terms to people who worship their iPhone and then Apple or whoever comes out, look, I've got a new one. Yeah, oh god, I got that. And it's only $1,200. And in the same way if the utilities are going to upgrade from the equivalent of an old iPhone to a brand new iPhone, $1,200 for us ain't cheap. We're talking millions and gazillions. We're talking utility. Yeah, we're talking billions. Yeah. For the utility to upgrade their generators, the substations and the distribution grid is billions. And they've known that for a long time. But while they knew that, they thought they had time to gradually ramp that up. But the speed of the adoption of PV, they were caught by surprise by that. And so now they're in a situation where this excess PV is really hurting them. So part of my job is to get as much, to incentivize as much storage as possible. I don't know if, yeah, we haven't talked in a while, but I'm related to the national electrical code as well. And there's the Hawaii Building Code Council. And just a few months ago, we adopted the 2017 National Electrical Code because it has four chapters on storage. And the plan checkers, at the county level, were really reluctant to permit storage because they didn't, this thing gonna blow up. Is it gonna catch on fire? But now the submitter of the application can say, I am in conformance with 2017 National Electrical Code. Here's my stats. And the plan checker can feel very comfortable in saying, okay, you got it. So speeding up the permitting process vastly there. For us, it's been, we've actually have our permits go through on residential really fast. And we, you know, our team has a track record.  Yeah, and we've been putting these things in for years without any problem. But to make things cost effective for the county, the state, the PUC for ratepayers, one of the things they did come up with was time of use. And the time of use rates, they just, I think they just changed it again where it went down from, if you were drawing at between 9am and 5pm, I think they made it 14.1 cents now in Oahu. It used to be 19 cents. So if you're drawing at 14.1, that's a powerful indicator of how much excess power they're trying to get rid of. Let's back up a little bit and explain time of use. Just in Hawaii's example, at 3 o'clock in the morning there's very, very low energy use and it starts to ramp up around 6 in the morning and gets pretty high by 10 in the morning or 9. And I think that is kind of, what time of use is you charge a medium rate at certain times of day, a very low rate at other times of day, and a very high rate at another time of day. Yeah, it's punitive in the evening peak. Yeah. So what is happening, say, through the night and up until, say, 9, 9 in the morning, something like that, that would be the medium price. And then the example you were giving, starting around 10 or whatever, when that sun is really beginning to power up those PVs, then you, not you, the utility drastically reduces the price by 14.2, down to 14.2. Yeah, so at 9am it drops to 14.1.2. At 5pm it jumps up to like 48 cents. Let's see, the old-time off-peak, which starts at 10pm, they actually still made it higher than retail. It's at 34.1. So it's like a penny or two higher than the old rate. So if you go to TOU, you are gambling that the only power you're drawing is from 9am to 5pm. If you draw during the peak, you get hit. If you draw during the off-peak, you get hit a little bit more than the old retail rate, which was 24.7. So one of my customers, all my customers, I put them on time of use. And one of my customers on Molokai got a call from Miko. Speaking of which, I believe we have a slide to illustrate this. Yeah, in fact we can go and bring up slide five or six because what you're trying to- The next slide. That one works. Yeah, that'll work. So this is a house that has a least PV system. So he doesn't own the PV. So we actually put batteries on his house and he makes excess power. So the batteries are absorbing his excess power, so he's not injecting it into the Molokai grid. Instead, it's going into his batteries. And you can see over there at 16, that's four o'clock, 17s, five o'clock. That red is power being drawn from the grid at the lowest possible rate. Now that power being drawn from the grid may actually not be from the grid. That may be from the PV because we're not allowed to put that PV, that least PV system into the circuit. But we know his PV produces more than he uses. But what you should see is at 17 there, five o'clock, there's no draw. So we have him on a time of use programming. So you can see from five o'clock at night till 10, there's no draw from the grid. And on that very cheery note, somehow we're just getting warmed up and we run out of time. Dishon, please come back in the near future because for one thing, you'll have new news by then and we'll get much more into depth. Suffice to say this is the future and Nick is Mr. Future Man here. So that does it for the day. Howard Wigg code green with Nick Dishon, President of Need On Clean Energy. See you next time.


The study showed that methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA, had a higher rate of sensitivity to vancomycin and linazolid than other antibiotics. Doxycycline and clindamycin also showed moderate levels of sensitivity, while penicillin, erythromycin, and trimethyprim slash sulfamethoxisol were highly resistant. Additionally, inducible clindamycin resistance was observed in 35% of the isolates. This article was authored by Fika Arshad, Sidra Salim, Ramesa Tahir, and others.

You got the introduction Then you got here the icons for the Elements, Water, Air, Earth and Fire You got part one, Arundel, and you can see a top view of the village You can see here more of a 3D view of what it looks like And it already starts with flags and decorations Lots of detail here for the village And if you don't lose any time, you go straight into Anna and Elsa And I love this because it has a lot of interesting facial poses and body poses for you As an anime just for reference, in terms of something like this We have a lot of energy, the line of action here, different expressions It starts off already with really dynamic poses and cool details You can see this here, sketches for what the costumes are going to be Let's go through here, there's a lot to see, love all this I love seeing that it's not just like the final product but kind of going into detail of how it was created Detail work in terms of the costumes and details for the hair Variations of color Again, rough sketches and something a bit more detailed Going into details like this Switching to Elsa with the final outfit, different colors Love seeing also different sides, front and back and side Again, different sketches and different versions for all the costumes Travel outfits Here's the Anna final epilogue outfit Spoilers Back and side as well You can see this here, you got more concept, designing kind of artwork With more final products here You have the Elsa epilogue, material and detail reference And this is pretty cool too, you have that And you can see this with and without detail with the plastic insert here With that page insert Then we're moving on to Kristoff and Swen That's just unfortunately just one, two pages here Then you have Olaf with a little bit of a storyboard And I mean if you want more of that you can go into a Frozen 1 art of book here Continues with the Arendelleians, really cute Designs, I love seeing all the variations Again, if you are creating a shot for your animation You can look at kind of the modification of characters The scale, the costume design It's pretty neat, it's always good for reference Part two, we get to air with the enchanted forest Detail for environments here You can see that here you have a scale chart More details about nature Then we get to Mathias, where you have rough sketches Also final designs, not spending too much time on this character You get into the shipwreck, very moody I love this here, I love all that Composition with all the lines leading to the ship, it's very cool Double pages here, we get to Agnar and Iduna Where you have that kit form Again going from sketches to more final designs But this is really cool in terms of just the posing That's why I love the art of books where you have rough sketches A bit more final designs Also just body poses and character poses Again, it's good for reference, you can see how dynamic they can be There's the wind spirit Like something like that, you can see how it pushes the girl up And you can see the force and the hair and the costume Got different versions of the wind spirit here More details Part three, Earth Milano, you got more character designs here Continuing with more designs Again, loving all of that here Paging through, you get creatures The Earth Giants, this is really neat Showing off how they would sit and how it would fit into the landscape here Love this feel of that scale difference here They're cool creatures in the movie Part four, you got into the fire The fire spirit, super cute From inside Different

going for For instance, head of effects here Explaining what they were going for What the inspiration was and what the process was More details here about ice structure and shapes Into the unknown mist You got some storyboards here as well Then we're getting to the final chapter here With more explorations of what it's going to look like Then more details into the structure And how it leads into the final element here Then we have a color script You got two pages of that Then you got different seasons for this and that You can see here how it changes digital art And then acknowledgements at the end With the last page Like this, another piece of artwork And that is the last page Into this with dog hair My dog, the hair gets everywhere I can open something, just unbox it and it's brand new And I have dog hair in it, I don't know what's going on But there you go, that's it That is the book without the cover Coming in, that is what you get over it There you have it, kind of a page through Of the art of Disney Frozen 2 I have more art of books behind me Up there So there's more to come, hope this was helpful To see kind of a peak Page through the whole thing, so you can see If it's worth it to you to buy The original price here is $40 But usually you can get it for $25 or $30 Depending on whether we go to bookstores Or Amazon where we want to go and shop It's usually not the full price And if you're still watching, as always, thank you for watching And I'll see you in my next upload


The title of our sermon this morning is render your verdict render your verdict We're in part two and we work we're working through the gospel of John verse by verse and we come this morning again to John chapter 19 verses One through sixteen as we work through this text We began with verses one through three last week as we work through this text and dig into the details of John chapter 19 Verses one through sixteen the Lord Jesus Christ now is rapidly approaching his four ordained appointment with Calvary Pilot is weak Pilot is compromising pilot is cowardly He simply refuses to do what he knows that he should do and pilot is inching closer and closer now To the precipice of a full and final break with his accusing conscience The violent mob Outside the praetorium is growing They're growing both in numbers and they're growing in their bloodlust to see the Lord Jesus Christ here put to death the Jewish leaders are Undeterred in their plan to murder him and the Jewish leaders are working amongst the crowd fomenting a mob mentality inciting the crowd to an increasingly forceful and increasingly irrational demand Crucify him right. We see pilot. We see the mob. We see the Jewish leaders But we see Jesus Right in these verses we see the Lord Jesus Christ made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death Crowned with glory and honor that he by the grace of God might taste death for everyone. It was fitting for him For whom are all things and by whom are all things in bringing many sons to glory to make the captain of their Salvation perfect through Sufferings Jesus here has been subjected to a brutal scourging and a merciless reviling at the hands of hardened Roman soldiers unimaginable pain Unimaginable pain as the score scourge tore Into his flesh Into the flesh that he voluntarily took upon himself as the son of God in order that he might taste death for everyone As he bore the shame the humiliation that we deserve Counting it a trivial thing compared to the joy that was set before him and Time and again now pilot goes before the mob to announce that he finds no fault in him Finally Matthew records in Matthew chapter 27 verse 22 Pilate said to them What then shall I do with Jesus who is called the Christ? We're faced with the very same question this morning from our text And we see the bloodthirsty mob of this world renders their verdict They all said to him Matthew chapter 27 verse 22 Let him be crucified and the governor said in verse 23. Why what evil has he done? But they cried out all the more saying let him be crucified and then Pilate Unprincipled cowardly compromising Pilate looking out only for himself his conscience pounding a drum in his heart and in his mind In verse 24 when Pilate saw that he could not prevail at all But rather that a tumult was rising He took water washed his hands before the multitude saying I am innocent of the blood of this Just person you see to it and all the people answered and said his blood be on us and on our children And then he Pilate Released Barabbas to them and when he had scourged Jesus he delivered him to be crucified Pilate Like the mob renders his verdict What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?  What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ? There's no middle ground here. There's no Bipartisan compromise. There's no Abstentions you can't send this to committee. You can't put it off your delay of a decision is your decision No further opportunity to consider this question when you're dead It is appointed for men to die once and then the judgment a fearful thing Like the terrifying for thing for you.  What then shall I do? With Jesus who is called Christ Today while it is called today do not harden your heart Will you turn your back on the mob today? Will you come out from the world today? Will you turn your back on your sin today or will you? Continue to turn your back on Christ from these verses John chapter 19 verses 1 through 16 As in the rest of the scriptures were to behold the Son of God were to be hold the Son of God pierced through for our transgressions right bruised for our iniquities What then are we to do with this Jesus who is called Christ? John writes his gospel the gospel of John is written for the purpose that you might have the evidence that is necessary All sufficient evidence necessary evidence to render a right verdict to render a right answer To that question he writes that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ That Jesus is the Son of God and that believing you may have life in his name Well that overarching purpose providing the backdrop for our text We see that evidence presented to us in John chapter 19 verses 1 through 16 in three ways First we are to behold the king. We looked at that last week in verses 1 through 3 Secondly in our text were to behold the Son of God. We'll look at that this morning from verses 4 through 7 Next we are to behold the righteous judge in verses 8 through 11 And then finally we will behold the verdict of this world verses 12 through 16 As we go we're to see ourselves in the text See ourselves in the crying Screaming of the bloodthirsty mob. We're to see ourselves in the weak and vacillating and cowardly pilot And we're given opportunity to render our own verdict. What then shall we do with Jesus who is called the Christ? Last week we began Beholding the king in his glory in verses 1 through 3 where the text reads in verse 1 So then Pilate took Jesus and he scourged him and The soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and put it on his head and they put on him a purple robe And then they said hail king of the Jews and they struck him with their hands Now Jesus Christ we know Jesus Christ is The king not only the king of the Jews but king of kings and Lord of lords and in this text We beheld the glory the majesty the divinity and the deity the Lord Jesus Christ one of his Suffering we beheld our king in his suffering Secondly we beheld our king put to an open shame the physical suffering of the scourge at the hands of Merciless Roman soldiers and the shame that was heaped upon him through a mock coronation and a scornful dishonor here At the apex of all of human history God now having sent his only begotten son into the world. This is how the world treats his only begotten son This is what the world does with God when they take him in their lawless hands You think with me now for a moment. It doesn't go far enough to say that this is how the world Treated him. It simply doesn't go far enough to say that I bear responsibility for what we see here You bear responsibility for what we see here He came into this world think about it with me. He came into this world and took upon himself a body He says to God the father in Hebrews chapter 10 verse 5 Sacrifice and offering you did not desire But a body you have prepared for me in burnt offering offerings and sacrifices for sin You had no pleasure Then I said the Lord Jesus Christ saying to God the father behold I have come in the volume of the book. It is written to me written of me to do your will oh God Do you realize do you realize? that Jesus Christ Will forever Jesus Christ will for all of eternity in my sight bear the marks of my sin upon his back Will for all eternity bear the marks of your sin in his hands in his feet Absolute sovereign power absolute sovereign authority having stooped so low to save a wretch like me to save a wretch like you right But this scene of his pity shouldn't provoke pity this scene of his passion shouldn't provoke pity It should provoke worship It should provoke awe It should provoke wonder and praise and glory and exaltation and honor Because our eyes have seen the king right the Lord of hosts In it we see the a tragedy of our own sin, but we see the glory of Lord Jesus Christ given for sinners Behold the king The point two on your notes we come to verses four through seven and this morning as we look at our text We're to behold the Son of God Behold the Son of God Verse four pilot then went out again And he said to them behold I am bringing him out to you that you may know that I find no fault in him Then Jesus came out in verse five wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe and Pilate said to them behold the man Therefore when the chief priests and officers saw him they cried out saying crucify him crucify him And Pilate said to them you take him and crucify him for I find no fault in him The Jews answered him we have a law and according to our law He ought to die because he made himself the Son of God The first thing I want you to notice in these verses Is the tragic irony that is loaded packed in here in verses four through seven In verses one through three Jesus Christ is scourged. He's mocked. He's reviled for claiming to be king The reality and therefore the irony is that he is king. He's the David king And they are scourging mocking and reviling God's promised king One verses four through seven Jesus Christ having been handed over as Matthew says because of envy The Jews want dead Because he claims to be the Son of God The reality here and therefore the irony is that he is The Son of God and they're crying out for the death of God's promised Deliverer so we come to verses eight through eleven Pilate presumes to be the authoritative judge Over Jesus Christ who is the authoritative judge these verses just packed with irony I might maybe like me you guys have heard the the story that preachers love to tell About the guy who's stranded on a roof right and the flood waters are coming the floods rising Guy standing on the roof and he's waiting for God to save him Guy comes along in a canoe And he says to the guy on the roof I've come to save you The guy on the roof says no, thank you.  No, thanks. I'm waiting on the lord The lord will save me So the national garden flies over in a helicopter drops the ladder. We're here to save you No, thanks. Don't eat saving the lord is going to save me. So the story goes That the man finally drowns in the flood Flood waters overtake him. He stands before God and he says I trusted you. Why didn't you save me? And God says to the man I sent you a canoe a canoe a boat in a helicopter. What more did you want? Now if the story were true to life and if the man on the roof were a Pharisee The Pharisee would have stoned the guy in the canoe Stabbed the guy in the boat shot the helicopter out of the sky And standing before God giving the opportunity He would crucify God for implying that he even needed saving in the first place In the parable of the wicked vine dressers in luke chapter 20 God Represented by the vineyard or represented by the vineyard owner in that parable Sends servants to his hired vine dressers for fruit Wicked vine dressers beat those servants treat them shamefully wound them and cast them out So last of all as the parable goes he sent his beloved son surely Surely they will respect his son So what are those wicked vine dressers do? It says in luke 20 that they reasoned among themselves saying this is the air Come let us kill him that the inheritance may be ours Incidentally luke says That the jewish leaders knew That jesus spoke the parable against them They saw that the son the air has come they reasoned among themselves.  So we see now the irony right the irony in these passages these verses Isn't pointing specifically at the ignorance of the jews. Think with me The irony the irony is pointing to their willful rejection of the truth They are blinded By an unreasonable hatred. So what do they do? They crucify their king They're blinded by an irrational envy. So what do they do?  And they killed those who foretold the coming of the just one of whom you now have become the betrayers and the murderers And what did they do with steven?  They killed their messiah.  Jesus said to them in john chapter 8 verse 45 because I tell you the truth. You do not believe me You hear the order of that Because I tell you the truth. You do not believe me And you and I We have to recognize the same seeds of that same hostility in our own hearts. Don't we? when you get Self-righteous when you get defensive somebody comes alongside you To talk to you about your sin And you get defensive and you get self-righteous and you get hostile. It's the seeds of the same Hypocrisy in your heart that we find here in the jews who are seeking to murder their messiah Leave me alone.  We're going to unpack that verdict From three perspectives The revelation the response and the reason The revelation of the son of god that they've been given Their response to that revelation And then their reason the reason they give for the final verdict That they render the revelation the response and the reason So let's look first now as we consider This passage let's look first at the revelation that they have been given beginning in verse 4 It says in verse 4 that pilot then went out again again. If you remember The jews the jews are outside the praetorium They're outside the praetorium and they have murder in their hearts. They have envy in their hearts Their hearts are defiled But not wanting to be ritually defiled by going into a Gentiles house They stand outside and pilot has jesus inside the praetorium Questioning him and so pilot's moving back and forth now moving from inside questioning jesus Outside addressing the jews moving back and forth between the two inside and outside So after now having questioned jesus inside verse 4 pilot goes back outside to the jews again And said to them Behold the words give me your attention. I want to make this very clear I'm bringing him out to you so that you may know That I find no fault in him pilot's making this point as clearly as he knows how here Once again, he says I have absolutely no basis for a charge The accusations that you've made against him that he's guilty of sedition that he's guilty of revolution That he's guilty of insurrection guilty of treason those accusations are all baseless I find no fault in him verse 5 Then jesus came out Upon that testimony jesus comes out himself Wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe And pilot says to them behold the man This is the official Of the one that they have accused pilot brings him out before rendering a verdict Now thanks to the jews initially And then thanks to pilot and thanks to the soldiers There's no question at this point how he looks Isaiah chapter 52 verse 14 Many were astonished at you So his visage was marred more than any man In his form more than the sons of men We can all imagine How he looked at this point beaten bloody swollen unrecognizable Isaiah chapter 53 stricken smitten by god and afflicted wounded For our transgressions bruised for our iniquities By this point the lord jesus christ would have been a startling spectacle The effects of the brutality would have been shocking And he's displayed here before the crowd before the jews before the mob He's displayed here in the kingly garb of his mockery The twisted crown of the curse upon his head a faded course garment upon his shoulders And pilot here in verse five mocks the jews With his presentation notice. He's not king of the jews now Behold the man You know, here's the guy that you said was so dangerous Here's the threat, you know, take a look at him. I've beaten him senseless now He's not a threat any longer.  This is how the son of god has been revealed in the old testament He is the suffering servant turn with me to isaia chapter 42 isaia chapter 42 He is the suffering servant This is their messiah This is their messiah and they hate him for it in isaia we have Four what are called servant songs Pointing to the son of god pointing The jews to their messiah the ancient jews were all of one mind that this Was speaking of the messiah These servant songs that we see the first is in isaia chapter 42 beginning in verse one verse one Behold my servant Whom I uphold this is the lord god speaking right matthew affirms in chapter 12 verses 17 to 21 That this is the lord jesus christ The servant Is the lord jesus christ paul said right that although he did not consider it robbery to be equal with god He took the form of a Of a bond servant took the form of a servant Behold my servant whom i uphold my elect one my chosen one in whom god says My soul delights I've put my spirit upon him. He will bring forth justice to the gentiles He will not cry out Nor raise his voice nor cause his voice to be heard in the street In other words, there aren't going to be trumpets that go before him. There's no fanfare no parades No pop in circumstance He says in verse three a bruised reed. He will not break Smoking flax. He will not quench He will bring forth justice for truth. He's gentle. He's patient. He's not coming to break Or to quench But he will bear with them. He considers their frame that they are but dust. This is grace and this is mercy And though he is rejected And though he is despised by men look at verse four He will not fail Nor will he be discouraged Until he has established justice in the earth and the coast land shall wait for his law From isaia 42 turn to your right to isaia 49 isaia 49 And in a second servant song here in the prophet isaia in isaia 49 Look with me beginning at verse seven verse seven Thus says the lord The redeemer of israel their holy one To him whom man despises to him Whom the nation abhors matthew henry said that to be despised by man who himself is a worm This speaks of the lowest and most contemptible condition imaginable He's despised by worms Abhorred by worms Man whom he came to save and to put honor upon despised him and poured contempt upon him Henry says so wretchedly ungrateful were his persecutors To the servant of rulers Kings shall see and arise princess also shall worship Because of the lord who is faithful the holy one of israel and he god has chosen you Thus says the lord verse eight in an acceptable time I've heard you and in the day of salvation. I've helped you I will preserve you and give you as a covenant as a promise to the people to restore the earth To cause them to inherit the desolate heritages He's given as a covenant, right?  Do you see for sinners? Verse seven the lord god will help me therefore. I will not be disgraced Therefore I have set my face like a flint and I know that I will not be ashamed Someone might say well, what about all the shame that's heaped on him in the scourging What about all the shame that's heaped upon him at the crucifixion? It's temporary It's passing Something that he counted a trivial meaningless worthless thing Temporary thing For the glory that is set before him for the joy that was set before him Yet he doesn't need our pity He is deserving of our worship Verse eight he is near who justifies me who will contend with me. Let us stand together Who is my adversary?  It is a fleeting thing. It is nothing Less than nothing For the joy that is set before us right for the glory that will come Because of the lord jesus christ and all that lord jesus christ has done what he's done for you What he's done for me So let's with him. Let's with him Count that shame a weak and worthless thing Let us go forth to him outside the camp bearing his reproach because lord jesus christ is worthy amen Flute the page and look at isaia 52 isaia 52 A fourth servant song in isaia all this revealing One of many four here servant songs of many texts In the old testament that all point forward to the lord jesus christ This is revelation that they had and if you remember from Acts chapter 8 verse 30 This was the point in which philip overtook the ethiopian eunuch in his carriage As he was reading the scroll of isaia and was reading here a fourth suffering servant the fourth servant song of isaia and isaia 52 Look beginning at verse 13 behold My servant shall deal prudently. He shall be exalted and extolled and be very high Just as many were astonished at you So his visage was marred more than any man his form more than the sons of men So he shall he sprinkle many nations kings shall shut their mouths at him For what had not been told to them they shall see and what they had not heard they shall consider Again the ancient jews believe that this passage was referring specifically to their messiah look at 53 chapter 53 verse 1 Who has believed our report And to whom has the arm of the lord been revealed in other words They don't believe our report because the arm of the lord has not been revealed to them Right rejecting the truth of god in christ. They forfeit the grace of god in christ. Do you see Verse 2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant as a root out of dry ground He has no form or comeliness and when we see him there's no beauty that we should desire him He is despised Rejected by men a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief we hid as it were our faces from him He was despised and we did not esteem him Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows yet. We esteemed him stricken Smitten by god and afflicted But he was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities The chastisement for our peace was upon him and by his stripes. We are healed More than one occasion. I've read this passage in witnessing to jewish people Without telling them where it is. Who is this speaking of what speaking of jesus christ Written in isaias 700 years before christ came Verse 6 all we like sheep have gone astray. We've turned everyone to his own way and the lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all He was oppressed. He was afflicted yet. He opened not his mouth He was led as a lamb to the slaughter as a sheep before its shears is silent So he opened not his mouth He was taken from prison from judgment. Who will declare his generation? For he was cut off from the land of the living For the transgressions of my people He was stricken They made his grave with the wicked but with the rich at his death Because he had done no violence nor was any deceit in his mouth Verse 10 yet it pleased Word there means delight It delighted the lord to bruise him he Who is the he the lord The lord has put him to grief When you make his soul An offering for sin He shall see his seed. He shall prolong his days and the pleasure Of the lord shall prosper in his hand His pleasure his pleasure Is the salvation of sinful men for his glory And the efficacy of christ's sacrifice the efficacy of of christ's atoning work displayed here was something that the father delighted in he delighted in it Verse 11 he shall see the labor of his soul and be satisfied By his knowledge My righteous servant shall justify many for he shall bear their iniquities Therefore I will divide him a portion with the great He shall divide the spoil with the strong because he poured out his soul unto death And he was numbered with the transgressors and he bore the sin of many made intercession for the transgressors transgressors He is the the child born the son given in isaac chapter 9 verse 6 right his name shall be called wonderful counselor mighty god everlasting father prince of peace He's the foundation stone of isaac chapter 28 verse 16 He's the redeemer In isaac chapter 59 verse 20 and all of this all of this right from one Book in the old testament Jesus tells the jewish leaders These leaders that want him crucified he told them in john chapter 5 verse 39 You search the scriptures for in them you think you have eternal life And these are they which testify of me Psalm 22 you don't have to turn there Just listen Psalm 22 my god my god Why have you forsaken me? Where do we hear those words? And jesus christ on the cross Why are you so far from helping me and from the words of my groaning written originally by david here, right? This is a messianic song In verse 6 david says i am a worm And no man a reproach of men despised by the people All those who see me Ridicule me They shoot out the lip they shake the head saying he trusted in the lord Let him rescue him let him deliver him since he delights in him Verse 13 they gape at me with their mouths like a raging and roaring lion I am poured out like water All my bones are out of joint My heart is like wax it is melted within me My strength is dried up like a pot shirt My tongue clings to my jaws You have brought me to the dust of death dogs have surrounded me The congregation of the wicked has enclosed me they pierced my hands and my feet I can count all my bones they look and stare at me they divide my garments among them and for my clothing They cast lots you see all of that fulfilled by the lord jesus christ He is the son of god He is the son of god sent by the father You might object you might object right and say that All this evidence in the old testament that for them It would have been difficult for them to understand For them back at that time it would have been difficult for them to get all this We're a member on the road to Emmaus and luke chapter 24 Cleopas and another disciple were walking and talking they were sad Over all the things that had happened in jerusalem to the lord jesus christ And luke records in verse 25 That jesus drew near and said to them. Oh Foolish ones You foolish ones and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken They were slow of heart Right slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken ought not the christ To have suffered these things and to enter into his glory is not this what the scripture teaches And beginning at moses Genesis chapter 3 We have a promise of the coming seed Right from jenesis on beginning at moses and all the prophets He expounded to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself Behold the son of god This is the son of god From jenesis to revelation So back in john chapter 19 back in john chapter 19. This is the revelation that they've been given And we've just seen a portion of that revelation, right? primarily one book from the bible In all of the scriptures as the lord jesus christ says in luke 24 to those disciples on the road to maus All of the scriptures point to christ So now having considered the revelation that they have the revelation they've been given What then is their ultimate response? To the sum of that revelation What's their response when the fulfillment of all of god's promises is presented before them Embodied in the lord jesus christ when their messiah comes doing the will of the father right healing the lame Casting out demons proclaiming liberty to the captives How do they respond? How do they respond? Look at john chapter 19 verse 6 therefore When the chief priests and officers saw him They cried out shouted again that word screamed It has the sense of anger They cried out saying crucify him crucify him Pilate said to them Exasperated in disgust you take him and crucify him For I find no fault in him Now notice first notice first in verse 6 That ultimate responsibility for the response of the mob here is leveled against two groups Primarily the chief priests and the officers that does not diminish the sin of the mob But it levels primary responsibility here in verse 6 To the chief priests and to the officers the mob Certainly bears the guilt of their rejection But it's obvious here that the chief priests and the officers were responsible for Stirring up the crowd against him their hatred for the lord jesus christ is Simply irrational in in light of his innocence in light of all the evidence Testifying to who he is their hatred here is irrational. It's unreasonable. It's brazen. It's unanimous They all cry out And these are imperatives so that you understand these are not requests Yeah, please take him and crucify him. No These are imperatives their demands They cried out again meaning they cried out as they had already before Crucify him That's the response of the mob response of the Jewish leaders the chief priests and the officers notice second Notice second pilots response in verse 6 Pilots response pilots said to them You take him and crucify him for I find no fault in him. I think about that statement for just a minute Right again Again pilot finds no fault in him six times pilot makes this the comment that I find him innocent. He's innocent But pilot here certainly isn't going to take a stand for justice Pilot wants free of this whole ordeal and he thinks that by this He absolves himself I find him innocent I found no basis for a charge. I found him not guilty So you take him and crucify him But consider with me That pilots heart is corrupt Pilots heart is corrupt and because Pilots heart is corrupt pilot is cruel In other words pilot doesn't take a stand for righteousness He doesn't take a stand to release the lord jesus christ You take him and you crucify him. I find no fault in him absolving himself of the whole matter You crucify him. What is that to me? Pilots heart is corrupt and so pilot is cruel The same heart listen The same heart lies within every person who rejects the lord jesus christ today If you reject the lord jesus christ And what he has done for sinners that same Heart lies within you if you're in christ today if you've turned from your sins And you've entrusted yourself to him you trust him for salvation that heart was once in you We would attest to that who would say amen to that amen We have to acknowledge that about ourselves I reject the claim of christ to be the son of god is what that person would say I reject the work of cross the work of christ on the cross It's not a person here who doesn't See that Doesn't understand that to some degree the lord jesus christ came into the world to save sinners And yet you reject That work you reject the person of the lord jesus christ Crucify him. What is that to me? You reject the work of the lord jesus christ cross. What is that to me? You reject that they crucified him. What is that to me? Right, you're gonna live your life in rejection of the lord The human heart is corrupt and therefore the human heart is cruel If these things don't move you it's not because They aren't moving things It's because your heart is dead and immovable You know Human heart is corrupt. Therefore the human heart is cruel.  So it's a cult and all the people in it are lost You want your sin? You want your sin? You want your sin?  You will kill that baby You will rebel against your parents You will say and do cruel things in self-righteous anger and self-justifying anger Your heart is corrupt and so you are cruel and the fact these don't these things don't cause you To put your head in your hands and weep before god and cry out to him for mercy for the cruelty of your heart Is further evidence that your heart is corrupt and you are cruel And the human heart is hopelessly so apart from the grace of god in christ amen You need a new heart You need a new heart and jesus christ Went to secure that promise for you if you will turn from your sin and you'll put your trust in him Turn from your sin repent of that hard-hearted cruelty and trust christ The spirit of god the spirit of god will produce in you love The spirit of god will Turn you from cruelty the spirit of god will produce in you joy In that once cruel corrupt heart There'll be peace and patience and kindness and goodness and faithfulness Gentleness and self-control That's what the lord produces in the heart of every genuine believer. It's exactly Opposite of what we see in the heart of this mob in the praetorium isn't it in the heart of pilot It's all produced by the grace of god in christ by the spirit of god at work And a genuine believer someone who's been born again so after being given overwhelming revelation That jesus christ is the son of god The jews respond with their verdict crucify him What's the reason that they give for the verdict that they render? What reason do they give?  I'll read that for you Whoever curses his god Shall bear his sin And whoever blasphemes The name of the lord shall surely be put to death All the congregation shall certainly stone him The stranger as well as him who is born in the land When he blasphemes the name of the lord he shall be put to death The jews then here in john chipper 19 Are accusing lord jesus christ of blasphemy verse 7 explains that the basis for that charge of blasphemy Is that he made himself the son of god he made himself the son of god. They see that as blasphemous In the way that jesus Claims this On the lips of any mere man it would be But not On the tongue of the lord jesus christ Now what exactly? More john irony here. What exactly that do they believe That he is claiming by that title turn back with me to john chapter 5 john chapter 5 what do they believe That he is claiming By that title John chapter 5 John chapter 5 and look with me beginning at verse 15 John chapter 5 verse 15 There's a man that the lord jesus christ had healed by the pools there at Bethesda In verse 15 the man departed and told the jews that it was jesus who had made him well For this reason the jews persecuted jesus And sought to kill him Because he had done these things on the Sabbath So there were other reasons also that he wanted that they wanted him dead But then jesus According to them just adding insult injury here verse 17 jesus answered them And said my father has been working until now And i have been working therefore the jews sought all the more to kill him Because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that god was his father what? Making himself equal that's right with god the jews know Exactly what the lord jesus christ is claiming here And just by virtue of the revelation given to us in the new testament every jahovah's witness Every Mormon Should also every arian should also know exactly what the lord jesus christ is claiming here and what they sought to put him to death for verse 19 Jesus answered and said to them Most assuredly i say to you the son can do nothing of himself But what he sees the father do for whatever he does the son also doesn't like manner now look At this passage and look at all the parallels that take place all right between the lord jesus christ and god the father Understand that the teaching of the bible with respect to the trinity Is that there is one god one god in three distinct persons? And so the way that the revelation is laid out for us is careful very careful to maintain one god But also very careful to maintain that those Three persons of the trinity are distinct And so what we see here in john type or five one god But these parallels in what that one god does How the distinct persons of the trinity act verse 17 my father's been working And i have been working All right verse 19 whatever the father does The son also doesn't like manner verse 20 for the father loves the son shows him all things that he himself does And he will show him greater works than these that you may marvel verse 21 For as the father raises the dead And gives life to them even so the son We know the son raises the dead and also gives life to whom he will verse 22 the father judges no one But has committed all judgment to the son That all should honor the son Verse 23 just as they honor the father He does not honor the son does not honor the father who sent him look at verse 24 Most assuredly i say to you he who hears my word and believes in him who sent me Has everlasting life and shall not come into judgment But his path from death into life Most assuredly i say to you the hour is coming now is when the dead will hear the voice of the son of god And those who hear will live for As the father has life in himself. He is eternal and unchanging He is not created uncreated. He is Eternal father for as the father has life in himself So he has granted the son to have life in himself. This is the eternal generation of the son Verse 27 it has given him authority to execute judgment also because he is the son of man Do not marvel at this the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear his voice voice and come forth Those who have done good to the resurrection of life those who have done evil to the resurrection of condemnation I can of myself do nothing as I hear I judge My judgment is righteous because I do not seek my own will but the will of the father who sent me There is a perfect economy of work a perfect economy of will A perfect economy of a tent a perfect economy of purpose In the godhead between god the father god the son god the holy spirit. There is no wasted energy There is no divergence of purpose divergence of will right. They are one And does not jesus christ say the same i and my father are one Now paul emphasized the same truth In philippians chapter two verse six jesus christ Being in the form of god Did not consider it robbery to be equal with god jesus christ was equal with god but jesus christ made himself of no reputation He made himself of no reputation taking the form of a bond servant and coming in the likeness of men And being found in appearance as a man He humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death even the death of the cross Therefore god also has highly exalted him Given him the name which is above every name that at the name of jesus every knee should bow Those in heaven and of those on earth and of those under the earth And that every tongue should confess that jesus christ is lord to the glory of god the father There's absolutely absolutely no confusion About what jesus christ was claiming with these statements.  Where you and i born under the law Could never keep it scholars theologians talk about The three uses of the law the three uses of the law of god One of those uses of the law of god is to be a mirror It's to be a mirror the mirror reflects The glory of god The perfections of god the attributes of god That mirror of the law also reflects our Horrid Despicable destitute condition It reflects our sin So that sin might become to us exceedingly sinful And where we fail in every respect To keep the law of god And to reflect god's glory He perfectly fulfills the law in its entirety No sin of thought no sin of word no sin indeed perfect Fulfills the law perfectly And he's the only one who can he is the son of god He is the son of god They want him to put they want to put him to death to fulfill the law the lord jesus christ dies to fulfill the law And he dies To fulfill the law so that we Through the body of christ might become dead to the law praise god Praise god roman's chapter eight that we might fulfill the law in him Look with me real really quickly at roman's chapter seven roman's chapter seven roman's chapter seven Brothers and sisters do you believe this do you believe this text? What a glorious glorious truth Look at verse one roman's chapter seven verse one Do you not know brethren for I speak to those who know the law That the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives For the woman Who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives This is an illustration here mind you right? This is an illustration the lord is giving But if the husband dies She is released from the law of her husband So then if while her husband lives she marries another man she will be called an adulteress But if her husband dies She is free from that law So that she is no adulteress though. She has married another man Therefore do you see the illustration do you see the example? Therefore my brethren You also have become Dead To the law through the body of christ that you may be married to another To him who is raised from the dead that we should bear fruit to god. What a glorious glorious thing Because of christ Because christ died to fulfill the law you and I brothers and sisters you and I we have become dead To the law and married it to another What a glorious glorious truth For when we were in the flesh the sinful passions which were aroused by the law were at work in our members to bear fruit to death But now we have been delivered from the law having died to what we were held by So that we should serve in the newness of the spirit and not in the oldness of the letter What is the purpose of all that? That we should bear fruit to god We've died to the law in christ if you turn from your sin You say I don't live for myself anymore. I don't live for myself anymore I'm turning for my sin. I'm turning for my life. I am trusting christ and I'm entrusting myself to him in all things Then you are dead to the law by repentant faith in christ That no longer is a is a means or a way by which you will earn right standing before god You never can you never could in the first place And now you are married to another that in you God may bear fruit to his glory That's why we serve in the newness of the spirit and not in the oldness of the letter The jews in john chapter 19 pride themselves on being obsessive law keepers But while they suppose while they presume To keep the law their hearts are full of evil thoughts and adulteries fornication murders thefts covetousness wickedness deceit Lude-ness and evil eye blasphemy pride and foolishness Do you see the hypocrisy of that while they presume to keep the law? That's the condition of their heart Maybe you're here today and you believe yourself to be a pretty good person. You know, I'm a pretty good person Even religious I pray I read my bible and go to church And lord says it's mark chapter 7 the lord says that all that wickedness resides in your heart Do you acknowledge that? Do you confess that?  They're defensive.  What about you? You will never be righteous.  He is the son of god He is the only one righteous and you need that righteousness The righteousness that god says is yours by faith in the son of god Trust him alone trust him alone Jesus christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes And only he can change your wicked heart What then will you do with jesus who is called christ? Maybe to this point this morning You're still running with a mob of this world You haven't given it up up to this point. You don't you don't want to you've lived for yourself and you know it Right You haven't wanted to deny yourself. You haven't wanted to consider yourself dead to the world and follow christ And you know this morning. You're not right with god.  You've gone astray.  You see in the cross In the awful treatment that the lord endured at the hands of sinners You see the awful weight and penalty of your sin What will you do with jesus who is called christ?  Your brothers and sisters think with me for a moment. Where are the disciples? Where are the disciples at this point in time? they've They've abandoned him peter denied him three times before the sun even came up the next morning Right and peter though the bible says wept bitterly wept bitterly The lord in great grace great mercy preserves them The bible says not many days from now. They are endued with power from on high Holy spirit comes upon them And by the grace of god with the strength of the spirit of god supplies They live and they serve and they preach the glory of his resurrection So jesus christ the son of god was raised for your justification So brother and sister what then will you do with jesus who is called christ? All praise all honor all glory be to the one who Having loved his own who are in the world He loved them to the very end. Amen let's pray Father in heaven when we praise you and we thank you lord for the sacrifice of christ Thank you that through him the the son of god Giving himself for sinners lord that we can be justified Forgiven of our sin made right in your sight Clothed robed in the glorious white linen of his perfect righteousness lord. We can stand before you Justified stand before you Dead to the law But alive to you in christ That we can bear fruit for your glory Worship your name Have fellowship with our god What we praise you and thank you for these glorious blessings I pray that not one person would leave here without Clearly understanding the state of their own heart their condition before you that sinners lord would be converted to you that saints the saints would be edified and Or just Fueled by that glory to serve you more faithfully to love you as we should Until one day finally lord set free from the fetters of our sin We worship you and praise you and serve you for all eternity in the way that you are worthy to be worshiped and praised and serve We love you. Thank you for this text. Thank you for our time together in jesus name. We pray amen


All right. Hello everyone. How are we all? I'll just check the discussion sounds working. Yep. Yep. Cool. All right. Cool. So welcome. My name is Kristi. I work at Salsa. I'm a community manager and I'm also the track chair for this year's Drupal Gov and I'll be moderating the panel today. And today we're going to be talking about content creation management and the overlap with user experience. I think about this in a couple of ways. It's the understanding of the right content for a site build and how that is best structured, how to then upload that content into a site with useful workflows and a great UX. But this is an open panel. So if you've got any things to share or any questions or tips that people in our field are doing, please do let us know in the discussion forum. We'll hopefully be able to do some Q&A but 20 minutes goes pretty quick. So we'll see how we go. I'll ask that only one person speaks at a time and I'll just round Robin and ask you questions as we go. Cool. So with me we've got Matt Fenwick. So Matt is the content lead at Oxide Interactive and specializes in grounding content for both user needs and business requirements. We've got Angus and he's the lead content strategist at Weave and is also the organizer of the Canberra Content Strategy Meetup and an official trainer of Content Design London. And then we've got Eddie who works at Sparks Interactive and is interested in accessibility, usability and auditing tools for content. So thank you all three for joining this and thanks to everyone for attending. I thought we could discuss a few things today. Content strategy, creating great content structures, content governance, the UX for uploading well designed content in the backend and how we can help clients at each of these stages. So Angus, I'd like to start with you please. Would you like to talk about content strategy as an early step in the process of a site refresh or site build? Sure. So at it's simplest, I guess most people have heard of content strategy and it encompasses a lot of different things. But at it's simplest it's really about as an organization reaching a shared understanding of what your content is for, like why do you even have content. And one of the most common problems we see when we go into organizations is you know there's too much content. It's a mess. Nobody can find it. Content just gets published kind of when somebody requests it without any particular sort of governance over that. And what that really comes down to is the organizations don't have that really strong shared understanding of first of all who their users are, who they're writing content for and what are the problems that they're trying to solve for those users. So reaching that shared understanding early in a project really then means that you can create kind of content structures whether that's an information architecture or a content model that are focused on answering user needs rather than just wrangling the kind of the content that the organization already has. Angus, what methods do you use in the early stages of the project to get that from clients? We always start with research. So it depends on the budget of the project, how much research we can do and what forms. We'll certainly run sort of internal workshops with stakeholders or we'll do individual interviews with stakeholders. Some of the time we look at existing things like analytics and that kind of thing to see what's been working and what hasn't been working on the current site. But I think most importantly we'll make every effort to talk to real users and to delve into what are the kind of problems that they're having, what are the kinds of needs that they have that this study organization should be solving. So I'm just checking the discussion form if there's any questions. It doesn't seem to be able to just check the live to me. Matt, I know you wanted to talk about educating clients about content modeling. Do you want to elaborate on that? Yeah, cool. So following on from what Angus was saying, once you've got the basic content in tent defined, then it's about translating that into the, I guess, the guts of the content. What we tend to see, I'm certainly working a lot with government and working with or seeing work coming out of some digital agencies, is that there tends to be a bit of heavy focus on the visual design and not as much emphasis on the structure of the content. And so you've got the information architecture, which governs the site map. But a lot of the time people will stop there. And then the content itself, what happens when you get to the page is just this vast, undifferentiated blob. So we talk about container projects where agencies get paid to deliver containers. So things that the client can fill with sort of whatever content they like. And that presents problems for their user experience because it's at the level of content that people are actually going to be able to get something done, you know, complete a task, apply for a benefit. So content modeling is essentially the practice of working out what content do we have, what do we need, and how should that content be structured? And if you've got an analytical brain, then you'll love content modeling because it's very much about pulling content apart and putting it back together again in a structure that's, I think the key thing is consistency here. So you can define a content type and then like say a biopage, and then you're really iterating on that type every time you create a new instance of that type. And I think it does curtail clients creative impulses where they want to go rogue and write whatever. But I think one way of selling them on this is by showing them examples from other organizations where the content's clearly inconsistent and then just saying, you know, how does that affect you when you see that? So, you know, getting them to think beyond just, I want to be random to, you know, how can or what's the actual impact on the user? I'm happy to talk more about some techniques if there's time. I think this is to question the live Q&A. I'm sorry, I can't see it. Are you mind reading it? Yes. So there was a question here from Max. How important is hierarchy? How hierarchy? Well, I can't even say that word. I'm so sorry. Document outline hierarchy. So make me say something. We're just going to move right after that. So document hierarchy. So, I mean, content modeling is all about defining the relationships between the parts. But hierarchy is only one relationship.  That's a hierarchical relationship. But it's also helpful to think about associative relationships. So as an example, anytime you read a book on content modeling, they always talk about like music or albums for some reason. So an album is an album is going to have an artist and an album is also going to have tracks. So each of those things could be discrete content components that are going to have a relationship. So it's saying to the question, depends what you're trying to do, and if a hierarchy matches the user's mental model, but generally be encouraging people to think about associative relationships or navigation as well. Like what's the thing that people are likely to want to read next after they've read this? Cool. So Eddie, you raised a number of topics in our notes about how can we design building block content types for common functionality, including form displays, view modes and taxonomy is also the importance of common terminology and approaches across sites. Do you want to talk about that? Yeah. Hi, everyone. I could talk for a few hours on that, but we'll keep it short. There's a lot of things in that. And I think talking on what the other speakers here have talked about, it's just about defining some of those formats and structures of your content really early on. And what we do with sector with our distribution, across all of our sites, we have sort of common content types, one that's always for newsletter, one that's always for resources, one that's for events, et cetera. And showing, as someone said, before showing examples of how their content might fit into an existing well-tested structure that works for other clients is really a good way to get them on board. And Alexander here was talking about, in the questions talking about content, I think is really good. There's lots of ways of doing that and showing examples of where it's working is important. With those structured content types also becomes the underlying structure. Talked about the detail, you know, a lot of this comes down to the detail of looking at what are the types of content they're putting in there, if it's dates and times, those sorts of ones. And what we've been really keen on is trying to make those consistent so that even between websites that are all based upon our distribution, an event type is very similar from one website to another. It will have its differences for each requirement, but having those same field names and same view modes for like a preview or a teaser and for the default page or for a social media share or something like that really helps to have that consistency and that confidence in what you're presenting to someone works. So thinking about what's been done before and why it's been done, always that why question is good. Those sorts of approaches that common stuff means that people even within your development team can have a consistent language and that that can be conveyed to your audience or to your clients in a way you can reuse documentation, you can reuse testing scripts, all those sorts of things. So don't think about it in the short term, think about it in the long term and also in the exportability or the maintainability of your site and your client's content. It's great for exporting down the track if you've always got something called last underscore updated for your updated date, you know, it's not date changed or something like that. So just really thinking about what are the basic fields and structure that your data goes into and you can show the client and when you've got someone working for one or two clients, it's probably going to work for the third, fourth and fifth clients as well because it's tested through. So, you know, lessons learned and work on where you've gone from, don't reinvent the wheel every time. I've got a question here as well. Do you think as Drupal professionals, we lack a standard way of implementing bread and butter IA and what might happen to prevent endless bad sites? Who wants to answer this one? You're all too very keen. One of the issues with, so one of the great things about Drupal is its flexibility and the fact that you do have this fantastic toolkit to go in and build, you know, content types and menus and you can sort of put together your site however you like. That's always been one of the real strengths of Drupal and it was, I think, you know, probably, it's probably still the mark later in terms of CMSs in terms of what you can do in content modeling, at least within the UI, but that does run the risk that, what that means is that every Drupal site in the real world ends up looking completely different. So, you have a thousand kind of unicorn sites instead of, you know, WordPress sites all look pretty much the same because WordPress has this very opinionated about how you should structure your site. So, I think, you know, I think what Eddie's been saying about trying to introduce consistency, whether that's through a distribution or just through developing some sort of community conventions around this kind of stuff is I think a really important thing for Drupal to sort of take forward because certainly what we see when we go into Drupal sites that have been built years ago is that all the good intentions about content modeling, how the content model is supposed to work, have often just been left by the wayside because new people have come into the organization, there's no documentation, nobody really understands what Eddie of this was actually set up to do. Use your more files, you know, once you print it once, it's Drupalite, now it's exportable. That was harder back in the day, so use those approaches to make things consistent and write documentation once, not 30 times. Just to follow on from that, I think it's really important to consider governance as well, who gets to make the decision if someone wants to do some random new content type, so yeah, we need the governance and then the governance itself needs to be a living document, so what structures are we going to put in place to maintain that and there's a ton of great stuff on this. I think it's Lisa Welchman managing chaos, digital governance by design, something like that. Hit me up if you need the details, but that's a really good book on overall digital governance. There's also an interesting comment here from Max, I'm interested in how much awareness UX pros have in the accessibility requirements regarding content structure. Eddie, do you want to elaborate on answer that one? Yeah, I've been involved with the WCAG auditing groups here in New Zealand. There's a lot to be done. It is an education, just like all this stuff we're talking about, writing plain English. Excessibility requirements are interpretive. There is some hard and fast rules, but yeah, there's some really great, if you look at the DQ who makes X testing, the web aims stuff, there's some good posters at DQ make which are nice visual diagrams which you can give to your designer or to give to the client early on. There's some really good steps that go through. Have you considered, if you're doing a pop-up model, what are the questions? This sort of stuff too. You want it to work, you want to think wider.  It's accessibility by design, not by putting on at the end of the review. For content authors, the new DTA or the new Australian Government Style Manual is a really good resource because it's been written with accessibility in mind from the ground up. Some of the playbooks by the US as well and these sorts of things of looking at component-based front-end design. I think everyone's got a flavour with some of theirs and some of Australians, I think. Use what people have done before that's working and twisted. This is a slightly random question, but what is your opinion on pop-ups in 2020? What did the evidence tell you? It would be my short answer. I've never done a user test where users have said, oh, that pop-up's great, I love it. When do they hate at least? I guess I'm curious, because people clearly want pop-ups, otherwise they wouldn't exist. Where is that coming from? Who's saying pop-ups are great and we should do that? And how could we, as UX and content experts, tell them, well, you should look at other ways of, let it, less invasive ways of doing that. I think it's marketing. It's coming from marketing. Yeah, it's the conflict between business needs, spell shit, and user needs.  And then there's also a question here. I think it was partly answered. Do you know of a tool that reads pages and gives rankings based on optimum, predefined structures? Well, you should probably just start looking at the heading structures that probably, I'm not sure exactly what that person means, but start with the heading structures, see if the sort of accessibility go to that point. But content modeling and on-screen modeling is really important to quantify each of those steps. I don't know if anyone else wants to add something. I'm not sure whether the person's talking about things like readability, but there are definitely tools that can assess that and give you a score on things like the reading level of text. And the only thing is I'd take those automated tools with a grain of salt, because the algorithms are actually not that sophisticated. And the human eye is always going to be a better test. I'm wondering if, so just following up from what Angus was saying, visible threat and readable are two good tools you can use to do those audits, but I agree totally with Angus Therapy. They have their place, but they're not that insightful always. I'm also wondering some SEO audit tools might give you some sense of how well the site is structured. But yeah, probably need to think more about that one. Yeah. I mean, the Lighthouse tool and the Chrome developer is a starting point, but depends what you're looking at. As all these things, any automated tool is not going to see things as a human sees things. So you've got a really accessibility, usability, any other stuff. Totally contrast. Cool. I think we're out of time. Does anyone have any closing comments that I want to ask? Thank you. I think all the questions were answered. Thank you so much. I actually wish we had longer to talk about this, but maybe there'll be a version two at some point in the future. Yeah. So I want to thank you all for being part of the panel and thanks to all the questions that have come through as well. Pleasure. Thank you. Thanks so much. Thanks.
