Let me invite you to turn in your Bibles to Genesis 33 for our time of study in the word this morning. We're doing a verse by verse study through The Book of Genesis, and as we continue in our study of this book, we come this morning to Genesis chapter 33 and my goal this morning is to cover verses 1 through 20 and the title of the message is Reconciliation and Return, Reconciliation and Return. Back in 2000. And 11, about 7 years ago, I was asked by Todd Friel of Wretched TV and Radio, how many of you have heard of him?
OK, some of you, to be a speaker at one of his Psalm 119 conferences and while there at the conference to be interviewed on his radio, broadcast. the conference featured 4 speakers, with each of the speakers doing 2 sessions each. At that point, In my life in 2011, it was the biggest thing that I had ever been asked to do and way outside of my comfort zone, but I felt like the Lord had wanted me to do it. So after getting counsel, I sent Todd an email and told him yes.
When I sent him the email telling him that I would be able to do the conference, he replied with an email containing 8 instructions for me regarding the conference. To my dismay, The 8th instruction read as follows. For the closing session, we would like to present a mime spectacular. Please have 5 minutes prepared of your favorite mime maneuver.
Phil Johnson has already taken Walking Against the Wind. James White has stuck in a box, and Ken Ham will be picking a flower. I did not know Todd Friel at all at that point, so I took what he said seriously. And I immediately emailed him and I told him that I've never done anything like that in my life before, much less before an audience of hundreds of people....
